Just one of 43 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: the most amazing things that's ever happened. Uh. We were like, 44 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: if not for how busy I am, we were going 45 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: to make up songs. We were we had a whole 46 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: production set to go on the schools. Instead, we just 47 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: played a sampling of your music. Hey, um, let me 48 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: ask you a question. That's good. Let me ask you 49 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: a question. Yeah, last week Pittsburgh Steelers did not cover 50 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The Los Angeles Rams did 51 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: not cover the Miami Dolphins, and the New England Patriots 52 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: did not cover. The Browns covered the Houston Texans did 53 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: not cover. Tell me about what's going on in your 54 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: life on Sunday? Well, I mean, all those games that 55 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: look like they were real big games for the house 56 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: were but it wasn't. It wasn't the best Sunday we 57 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: we've had. It was kind of mitigated by a lot 58 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: of the sharp play on a lot of the dogs 59 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: that you just described. And it's it's a little frustrating 60 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: when you when you take a position on a lot 61 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: of these games and end up um, losing the games anyway. 62 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: I mean, starting with you know, the the Thursday night game, 63 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: we really uh, we really like Tennessee and we end 64 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: up losing that game. Anyway. We kind of shaded the Raiders. 65 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: We kind of like the Raiders. We lose that game. 66 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: A lot of the games we we called out the 67 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Packers we felt after the coaching change would come out 68 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: pretty strong in their first game. Uh. That so a 69 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: lot of those games we lose anyway. So that's just 70 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: part of the part of the business when um, there's 71 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: not much you can do to to I mean, there's 72 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: still a good weekend, mainly from killing a lot of 73 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: parlays on a lot of those public teams. But the 74 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: Sharp guys, I would say probably had their best weekend 75 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, it felt like it right, like 76 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: all the teams I just mentioned had started playing them 77 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: on the opposite side. You know. The Wise guys were 78 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: all over the Bears. I mean so yes, all over 79 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Uh, they were on the Browns, they were 80 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: on the Ravens, they were on Oakland. Yeah, every one 81 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: of those games and even some of the favorites Detroit 82 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: against Arizona, that was a bad one for us, and 83 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: then the Saints Buccaneers, a game that we wished the 84 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: sharp guys were on. The Buccaneers were not, so that 85 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: was that was a bad game for the house. So, 86 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I think and I kind 87 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: of called around town and uh talk to some of 88 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: my colleagues too, and they kind of echo the same 89 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: sentiment that, Yeah, the everyone called saying, well, was this 90 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: your best weekend of the year, and now it wasn't. 91 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: And and that's the reason why. How do bookmakers commiserate? 92 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: It's funny that we we have our own little community 93 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: and it's kind of like we speak our own language, 94 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: and we can we can really empathize with each other's 95 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: feelings on uh, particularly around things that you kind of 96 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: joke about that some of our best bookmaking are on 97 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: days that we actually lose money or um, you know, 98 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: like how we could be happy with with a losing 99 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: day when we know that we did kind of everything right, 100 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: or or if we're expecting a huge loss like this 101 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: this Monday night. I think a lot of a lot 102 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: of people were in jeopardy with the Vikings, and uh, 103 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: even the properties that lost money with the Seahawks were 104 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: actually happy because we lost a lot less than we 105 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: could have lost with the Vikings. Oh god, I can 106 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: just see like you guys hanging around it, Like where 107 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: do you guys go when you hang out?

Let me tell 111 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: you about how bad it could have been if I 112 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: had booked this game better. Exactly exactly. I've got a 113 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: new spot.

Yeah, 170 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: so this is gonna be a tough one for the Packers. Um. 171 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: You know, they had their their what I what I 172 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: considered that first game after the coaching change, and I 173 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: thought they'd come out strong, which they which they did. 174 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: But I think they're up against it this weekend. If 175 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,239 Speaker 1: you remember the last time they played, Chicago really dominated 176 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: most of that game and kind of let the Green 177 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: Bay back into it at the end. I don't think 178 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: they make that same mistake again. I think the Chicago 179 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: teams a much more mature team, uh, much more experienced now. 180 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: So uh, we opened up five and a half getting 181 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Bears money, way more Bears money than 182 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: than Packers money. Uh. I could see this line going up, 183 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: um definitely to six, maybe six and a half by 184 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: game time. Um, but uh, I don't see a whole 185 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: lot of support for the Packers on this one. Did 186 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: you inflate this line before you opened it? Yeah? So 187 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: this is a game. I mean, talk about the difference 188 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: of what a line would have been. Uh, you know 189 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: five six weeks ago that this would have definitely been 190 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: right around three, so so big adjustments on both sides 191 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: of the of the game on both teams here. I 192 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: think if we wrote a song, we'd call it Inflation Station. 193 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Oh like it Inflation Station. It reminds me of one 194 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: of those um like cartoons that used to be on 195 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: Sunday mornings back in the day where they teach you 196 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: about like the Bills and Capitol Hill and Junction. And 197 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: I could be inflation Station. What your adjustment? Right? Yeah? Yeah, 198 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: we could scoot all that scoot all right. I like 199 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: the Bears in this game. That's odd for you to 200 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: like pretty sizable favorite. I mean, usually these are the 201 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: kind of games that but it's kind of we got 202 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: a couple of game times this week that are right 203 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: in that four or five six range, and that's and 204 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of a tough one. They're not quite getting 205 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: a touchdown a little more than a field goal. That's 206 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: that that kind of Noman's landing there at five. Next 207 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: game up. I forgot the Thursday night game. I I 208 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: skipped it by accident. Big game. Oh boy, Kansas City 209 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs minus three and a half against Los Angeles Chargers. 210 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: This is a brutal game. From my perspective, I really 211 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: want the Chargers to win this game. I want the 212 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: a f C West to come down to it. I 213 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: am a huge fan of Philip Rivers. I feel like 214 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: he's had so many opportunities blown for a variety of 215 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: flukey reasons. He's got such a good team, um, and 216 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, like he's got this amazing team, 217 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: he's having a great year, and he's getting upstaged by 218 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: this wonderkin quarterback in Kansas City who's amazing, And it's 219 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: like just blotting out the sun that is Philip Rivers. 220 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: So give me a reason to bet the Chargers. Give 221 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: me a million reasons. As Gaga would say, man, reason 222 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: too bad this game? Well, I can't give you a 223 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: million reasons. I can say that, uh uh, it's tough 224 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: to bet against against my homes. You know, even games 225 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: that it looks like they're gonna lose, he finds a 226 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: way to win. I mean that that last week was 227 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: a perfect example that fourth and nine, Um, they end 228 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: up coming back winning the game. It's uh, when a 229 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: team is doing that consistently all year, Uh, it's kind 230 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: of tough to go against them. And plus they have 231 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: the talent. It's not like it's a bad team that 232 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: just happens to get lucky a few times. Uh. And 233 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: this this is for the division. It's gonna be it's 234 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: gonna be tough for the Chargers in this one. I 235 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: think we have the number right at three and a half. Um. 236 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't see a whole lot of movement here. We're 237 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: definitely gonna get a lot more Chiefs money. I'd love 238 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: to see the Chargers win this one from a bookmaking standpoint, 239 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: because we're gonna need them. Uh not. It's not gonna 240 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: be a huge decision because there's gonna be plenty of 241 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: charges supporters. I like when two real good teams play 242 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: each other, we get support for both teams. Uh, much 243 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: more than those games where it's just, you know, a 244 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: real good team against the bottom dweller. Uh. So, so 245 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: this should this should be a great matchup. And uh, 246 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: three and a half I think is the right number here. 247 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: What are they preferbio sharps wise guys professionals doing? Are 248 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: they taking that hook? Not yet? No, I have very 249 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: little sharp money on this game so far. UM. Not 250 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: quite sure if they would take the hook in this 251 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: one or not. But I I really, I really feel 252 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: like the Chiefs has more to play here Saturday games. Man, 253 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: you're take on Saturday games? Uh, you know this time 254 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: of year when there's not the college games. I think 255 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: it's nice to kind of have something in there on Saturdays. 256 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: Gives us something to do big on Saturdays than just 257 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: college basketball. Yet. I mean, we kind of ease into 258 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: college basketball, and this is kind of nice to fill 259 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: in the gaps. Why you don't like them? You don't 260 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: like the college you don't like the Saturday NFL games. 261 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, I'm so social. I got so 262 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: much going on Saturday is a big day for you 263 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: the weekend, Like I can only you know, I'm a 264 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: guy with two kids, and like I've sort of decided 265 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: when my kids were born that I could not be 266 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: the parent who was just disappearing all day Saturday, all 267 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: day Sunday for football in the fall. So I kind 268 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: of had to give up Saturdays. I said, all right, 269 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do college football as much. I'm 270 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: not going to be his engaged in college football. And 271 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: I committed to Saturday as being around. And so I'm 272 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: around on Saturdays, and I'm not ready to commit to 273 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: like having a block off four to eleven on a 274 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon to watch these games. Yeah. I mean we've 275 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: been doing it for so much of years now that uh. 276 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: I remember having the same sentiments when they started playing 277 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: the Thursday night games. I was like, you know, can 278 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: you give me a couple of nights break in between 279 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: these NFL games. I mean, we're already booked with Saturdays 280 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: and Sundays and then Monday Night football. Then they had 281 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: to throw on the Thursday night football is just another night. 282 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: I had to work late, you know, so but at Saturdays, 283 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm there anyway, So not a big deal. Okay, so 284 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about you, I guess not talking about me completely. 285 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: Make that a verse in this song? Uh, what's our chorus? Chorus? 286 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: Chad and Scooch, Chad and Smooch. They'd love to talk 287 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: about bedding. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they cry. Every once 288 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: in a while, Scooch talks about the book that he wrote. 289 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I'm like, Lynn went Manuel, Miranda, 290 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: I can just I can just come up with freestyle 291 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: freestyle ditties. Hey you are yeah Houston a six point 292 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: favorite at New York. Yeah, Um, that's a tough game. 293 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: That's a tough one line. Tell me about how you 294 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: made that line. That's really interesting to me. Well, I mean, 295 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: I know this is the kind of game that you 296 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: probably like taking the home dog, but uh, I just 297 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: hated Jet so much. Yeah, we we want to make 298 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: this pretty high. And I could see this line actually 299 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: going up to seven, and I might actually go to 300 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: seven before the day before the day is out? What 301 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: about the podcast we're doing before the podcast is out? 302 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: Do you am I putting you to sleep? I got 303 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: up so early today and I'm a little bit like 304 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: not feeling great, and we have a board meeting tomorrow 305 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: and I had to spend a lot of intense time 306 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: working on some information for that today, and so you know, 307 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm nobody cares. Man, you're yawning at me. I tried 308 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: not too. The Texans and Texans coming off a loss, 309 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be up for this one. It's 310 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: gonna be tough for Donald. He got his first fourth 311 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: quarter comeback and showed some moxie in that one, but 312 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: he's up against the defense now. A lot of moxie 313 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: is going to be pissed, and they can rush the 314 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: past without bringing a blitz. Yeah. Um, like you said, 315 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: this is a tough one. Tough one to read to 316 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: see how they respond to a good defense against a 317 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. I mean, he's got the season under his belt, 318 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: but he's still still a rookie. And uh, he's he's 319 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: got his work cut out from this one. So we'd 320 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: much rather be on the high side on this one. 321 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: How do I better get it against a big home dog? 322 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: You I said, this is a game you have to take. 323 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: You have to take the jets. Um, yep. But uh, 324 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: but the sharp guys I think are waiting for seven. 325 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: I don't see them. I don't see them taking this yet. 326 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: Well color me sharp because I'm not taking it yet. Okay, 327 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: there you go. You're gonna wait for the seven. Let's 328 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: make another song called Sharpie. All right? Denver minus three 329 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: at home against the Cleveland Browns. Yes, just we We 330 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: put the Broncos up minus three. Um. I thought it 331 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: was a pretty solid number. Although they came right out. 332 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: The sharp guys they love the Browns in this one. Um, 333 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: first couple of bets out of the gate where the 334 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: Browns were still hanging it. We don't want to get 335 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: off the number yet because the public money is still 336 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: on the Broncos and we know what's gonna It's gonna 337 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: remain on the Broncos, So I'll probably just move money 338 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: unless we get just an avalanche with Brown's money by 339 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: game time. But sharp guys are on the Browns and 340 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: public are on the Broncos in this one, I can 341 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: see that. I think the Browns are the better team. 342 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: I think they have a better quarterback. I think their 343 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: defenses are comparable. Yeah, I have to admit, Uh, I've 344 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: just wasn't if you're last week, I just hated the Browns, 345 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: just did not didn't feel like they were gonna beat 346 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: the Panthers last week. That was the one one game 347 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: a really uh. Um took a position on and I 348 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: lost a little bit more than we wanted to on. 349 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: But um, Yeah, the Browns are now a favorite among 350 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: the sharp guys. They're paying them finally after years of 351 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: betting the Browns because the number was so bad. Uh, 352 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: they're finally getting paid off by betting the Ruins exactly. Yep. 353 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee is on the road at the New York Giants 354 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: minus two and a half. They're coming off both teams 355 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: coming off big big wins against division arrivals and short 356 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: home favorite for a team that has burned me so 357 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: badly this year, more than any team could possibly burn me. 358 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: How do I find the faith to bet on the 359 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: New York Giants as short less than a field goal 360 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: home favorites. Yeah, it's gonna be It's gonna be tough. 361 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: I could actually see, uh. I mean, we actually have 362 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: more Giants money in this one than than we have Titans, 363 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: almost two to one, which surprised me a little bit. 364 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: Especially Odell Beckham's questionable on this one, so I can 365 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: definitely see this line coming down. Um, we like the 366 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: Giants last week. Talked a little bit about that, but 367 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: that was just because Washington just has no quarterback, So 368 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't know you could expect the same thing going 369 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: against a real good defense. So I favor I want 370 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: to favor the Titans in this one, and I'm gonna 371 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: be quick to move this down. We've got a little 372 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: taste of sharp money on the Titans, but not really 373 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: enough to make me believe that it's a true move. 374 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: So um, I'm gonna wait a little longer. And the 375 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: Titans are the right side in this game. I I 376 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: would tend to degree and the Giants. I mean, as 377 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: high as we were on him at the beginning of 378 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: the year, that's how low I am I am on 379 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: him now at this point in the year. Which team's 380 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: power rating has moved down the most? Well, the the Eagles, Uh, 381 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're right there. Uh. I mean, I 382 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: can't can't see another team that's gone down more than them. 383 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: Falcons went down pretty pretty much, but they were not 384 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: They weren't as high as the Eagles were to start 385 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: the year. You were always overrated on the fun the Falcons. 386 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: You hate the Falcons, you do, I really do? Um? 387 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Next up, next up Baltimore Ravens eight point favorites against 388 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. That is a big number for the Ravens. 389 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: Who's playing quarterback for them? Uh Lamar Jackson. I think 390 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna get wise guy money on the on the 391 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: box right here. I hope so, because we're getting old 392 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: Ravens money right now, not much Bucks money, just like 393 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: last week when I was hoping for a little more 394 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: uh Tampa Bay money. I'm not getting it yet. I mean, 395 00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: it's a pretty big number. Um. But then again, but 396 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: the Bucks kind of disappointed me last week. So, um, 397 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: I don't really have a strong feel on this one. Uh, 398 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: just no consistency with the Buccaneers going back and forth 399 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: with their quarterbacks as well. And um, not a whole 400 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: lot of action on this one. Like I said, we're 401 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: a little heavy on the Ravens, but uh not, it's 402 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: not one of the games that they're really kind of 403 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: focusing on. I'm not surprised by that. And the Ravens 404 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: really haven't drawn. Even when the Ravens are good, they 405 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: don't draw as much support as you would expect. Uh. 406 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: And the Buccaneers of course never dissed. So uh, just 407 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: not a whole lot of interest in it. Are you 408 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: getting more and more interest in the Buffalo Bills just 409 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: because they seem to be fun and interesting and give 410 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: people tough games? They are two and a half point 411 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: favorites at home against Detroit, and yeah, they're fun a lot. 412 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: They've we talked a little bit about it last week 413 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: that they're just fun to watch because you don't know 414 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: which team you're gonna get. They they've had some huge, 415 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: huge upsets this year and then they've looked pathetic. They've 416 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: gone through, you know, some of the worst quarterbacking and 417 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: some really good quarterbacking. So they're they're kind of they 418 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: are kind of fun to watch. You don't know which 419 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: which team you're gonna get, and uh, you know last 420 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: week it was, like I said, with the with the Jets, uh, 421 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Donald mounted a fourth quarter comeback, but that was a 422 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: game that the Bills look like they were well command 423 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: of and kind of let that slip away. So um 424 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: in this game, Uh, Detroit's one of the teams that 425 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: they the public jumped off the bandwagon weeks ago, so uh, 426 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: not a lot of support there. If we get uh, 427 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see pretty good two way action 428 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: in this one. Not a whole lot of action, but 429 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: pretty good two way. It's not going to be lopsided. 430 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: We're at two and a half. We'll probably stay at 431 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: two and a half. If anything, I think it comes 432 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: down a little bit. I don't think it goes up 433 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: to three. If you're saying it comes down, then I'm 434 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: gonna wait and I might bet the Buffalo Bills when 435 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: it comes down. Oh you like them Huh? You like 436 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: those shorts, right, like the short favorites short favorites, Yeah, 437 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: but not the Giants. Not the Giants. Definitely not the Giants. 438 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: It's not a bet all theory. It's a look for 439 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: opportunity theory. I'm with you. I'm giving you a hard time, 440 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: but I agree. Just trying to think of a good 441 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: song that goes with the opportunity. Okay, you could do 442 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: a whole album. Yeah, we did theod Oh my god, 443 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: I have an idea. Here's what I need you to 444 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: do for the Super Bowl.

Boy, you're gonna get a 488 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: lot of action on that game, right That's that's definitely 489 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: the Corner TV game, no doubt. And we probably won't 490 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: move off of that number three for the rest of 491 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: the week. We'll just move some money. We'll get a 492 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: little bit more Raiders money only because they, you know, 493 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: pulled out the big win last week. But um uh, 494 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Bengals actually did a little better than both 495 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: of us thought last week as well. But three is 496 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: the right number and uh not, not a whole lot 497 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: of action on it. I'm not even saying anything. I 498 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that game out Here's a 499 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: sucky one, though Atlanta is an eight and a half 500 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 1: point favorite over Arizona. Gosh, I hate both these teams 501 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: so much. That is like a really big number for 502 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: a not great team to be allaying. So that is 503 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: a four win team. How bad the Cardinals are? Jesus Christ, 504 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: The Cardinals really took a step back, like Josh Rosen 505 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: took a huge step back to me. Yeah, yeah, and 506 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: that I mean, it's fun to watch the progression or 507 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: sometimes the regression of rookie quarterbacks, and uh, they go 508 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: through some peaks and valleys, but uh, you know, they 509 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,719 Speaker 1: just really look bad and they're just not even in 510 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: these games. So we just have to make we just 511 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: have to make this line high and keep it high. 512 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: I actually see it going up to nine nine and 513 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: a half um. So that just tells you how bed 514 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: Arizona's got the delta between these two. Matt Ryan complete 515 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: seventy of his passes Josh Rosen. Matt Ryan obviously more games, 516 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: has the room for four thousand yards Josh Rose in 517 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: two thousand uh eight touchdowns, ten touchdowns, twelve I and 518 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: T s from Rose and six I T s for Ryan. 519 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: H QB rating sixty eight point three one o eight 520 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: point three Yeah, big difference, but eight and a half. Yeah, 521 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean we're we're gonna need Arizona big in this one. Um, 522 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: I can't see anybody taking the points, so we'll just 523 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: keep creeping up. So I mean, we're not gonna We're 524 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: not gonna go up to ten, but definitely nine nine 525 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: and a half Minnesota minus seven over Miami. I am 526 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: surprised you live you given how badly Minnesota played against 527 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: Seattle and the miracle that Miami had against New England 528 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: when they even played him tough to regard list um 529 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: tough regardless, I'm surprised you made the line that big. 530 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, you know, yeah, Miami won the game, 531 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: but you know how close New England was to covering 532 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: in that game. It does so you look at the 533 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: final score and I get it, you know, and you 534 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: say that Miami wins the game straight up, But I 535 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that they were Uh New England let that 536 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: one slip away, obviously, but uh, New England was really 537 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: close to a cover. So I wouldn't take too much 538 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: out of out of the one game. So let's just 539 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: take out the vikings. Last two games and and Miami's 540 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: last game, and you wouldn't think seven is such a 541 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: such a high number, but it's only three and a 542 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: half quarters. That game was really close, it wasn't. I 543 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: look at it entirely differently. New England came really close 544 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: to covering that game. But New England, I mean, Miami 545 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: was in that game for three and a half quarters. 546 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: They were in the game against the Colts the week before. 547 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill continues to play a well and the Vikings 548 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: actually have not played that well. They've had flashes of 549 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: being good, but they're not a good team. Give me 550 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: the Dolphins in this game. Yeah, I still think going 551 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: up against a good defense that Tannehilskin is gonna have 552 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: some overrated, overrated defense. They've been getting picked apart like 553 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving turkey carcass overrated. I think seven is the 554 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: right number in this one. And I don't see the 555 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: sharp guys coming in, uh you know, handover fist Betton, 556 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: Betton the Dolphins yet. So I mean, I do think 557 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: that they'll probably take the seven before they lay it. 558 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: But uh um, it's not like I would say last 559 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: week with Miami getting the all those points against New 560 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: England was you know, obviously a much bigger opportunity for 561 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: for the professional betters than Miami getting seven in this one. 562 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: You're talking to a sharp guy obviously taking it to 563 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: the streets. Jacksonville minus seven against the Washington team. Yeah, Washington, 564 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: when he came in on the Redskins, Well they can 565 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 1: have it. I mean, here's another instance of of a 566 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: mediocre team laying a lot of points. But I still 567 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't have much confidence in Washington. Uh, they're just in 568 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: free fall and the public's the public is going to 569 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: be all over Jacksonville even though they're uh, you know, 570 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: not one of the teams that they typically bet in 571 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: recent weeks. But I think, well, we're on a lot 572 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: of key numbers this week, which could be dangerous if 573 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: some of these games fall. You are on some key numbers, 574 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: a lot of threes, a lot of sevens right there, 575 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: and I could see, I could see this week is 576 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: not gonna be It's gonna be a grind. Yeah, you're 577 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: it's going to be ugly. And then you've got Seattle 578 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: is a five point favorite on the road against San Francisco. 579 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Here's what I think. 580 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: Here's what I think. I think San Francis. San Francisco 581 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: had its best game. I think the Seahawks are too good. 582 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: Not a lot of money coming in on Seattle, yet 583 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: I beg to differ as as as we have been 584 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: talking for the last thirty minutes, we have been getting 585 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: a lot of steam on San Francisco. So this line actually, 586 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna go to four and a half right now. 587 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: And when we started this podcast, I had sometimes that 588 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: thing catches in the a scar like, uh, yeah, we 589 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: had just went from five and a half to five 590 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: and uh, and now I'm going to four and a half. 591 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: And I know, well this morning there were some sixes 592 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: out there on the game, so there wasn't much adjustment. 593 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: Six was probably going to be the number regardless of 594 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: how either team performed. Uh. You know, Seattle had a 595 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: real good game, San Francisco had a real good game. Uh, 596 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: six was probably going to be the number even before 597 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: those those two games. So not much of an adjustment. 598 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: So I can understand the move getting the points uh 599 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: at home. This is a typical chat Noman play, to 600 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 1: be honest, with getting those points at home, but it 601 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 1: could have gotten six this morning. Now you're only getting 602 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: four and a half, So you missed all the value 603 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: in this mill Mania the Millie Monster, Yeah, the middle 604 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: Monster M squared totally New England. Interesting in New England 605 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: is at one point favorite on the road at the 606 00:37:52,920 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Like so much in play here, Scooch, Yeah, sure, 607 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: not getting a short road favorite. One team needing to 608 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: basically save its season because the disastrous lost it two 609 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Another team looking to not lose 610 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: for the second time in a row. Chefs, I'm going 611 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Stealers. Yeah, this is a kind 612 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: this is a game. Now we have to check, just 613 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 1: make sure Roethlisberger's healthy. He did finish up that that 614 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: game last week, but he still listed as questionable officially 615 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: but in some places still are keeping it down off 616 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: the board. But I think the numbers reflective obviously of 617 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: him playing in this game. Uh, New England would be 618 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: a much much bigger favorite without Roethlisberger. So this numbers 619 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: is with him playing, but he's not gonna be a 620 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: d percent healthy, But it's it's I think Pittsburgh is 621 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: the play that you'll see the sharp guys coming in 622 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: on keeping this number as low as it is one 623 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: one and a half. But I would hate to be 624 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: playing against Bill Belichick, especially after a week when he 625 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: let one slip away like he did. You know, he's 626 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: just seething right now. So that's just one thing I 627 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: would just keep in mind. Yeah, I mean, it really 628 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: depends on who's playing. If Roethlisberger plays, I might go 629 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,240 Speaker 1: counter and take the Steelers. Yeah, and I could also 630 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 1: go up a ton of money coming into New England. Yeah, 631 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: percentage wise, it's it's it's one of the biggest public games. Um. 632 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: But but I think this is the kind of games 633 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: that the Sharps like to play. And you know, they're 634 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: not going to play that short road favorite. They're they're 635 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: gonna play Pittsburgh, Los Angeles Rams and I and a 636 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: half point favorites against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night. Yeah, 637 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 1: we just talked about the downgrading of of the Eagles. 638 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: Who would have thought that they'd be a nine and 639 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: a half point doll coming off of a Super Bowl victory. 640 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: So that just speaks to how much they've dropped in 641 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: the power of rankings. Uh, even with this big number, 642 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: we're not getting much Eagles money, not from the Sharp 643 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: guys not from the public. Um. I think by game 644 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: time the sharp guys will probably take the nine and 645 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: a half, probably come down, but I don't it's not 646 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: gonna go off. This is about as high as we 647 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: can go on this one. Our producer Matt Ford just 648 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,800 Speaker 1: walked in. He was he had an event, and UM, 649 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: should I tell him that I've announced that we're doing 650 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: a live podcast on Monday January and that you're gonna 651 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: be making a song with Uncle Ray and doing a video, 652 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: and um that if people want to attend and they 653 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: are loyal listeners of the podcast, they can tweet me 654 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: at Chad Milman or at the Favorites Pod. I'm just 655 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: letting Matt Ford know that. He's looking at me like, 656 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: oh my glad, I hate to you. I didn't do 657 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: totally Oh my god. And I was rubbing his eyes. 658 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: He's rubbing his forehead. He's like what what? Why did 659 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: he do this? Why did he do this? Because because 660 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm a wild card, man you are, I cannot be contained. 661 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: Like when I'm inspired, when an idea comes to me, 662 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: That's how we grow, man, that's how we do. We 663 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 1: just go fly by the seat of his pants, Millman 664 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: fly by the seat of his pants millman. That's what 665 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: they call me. Uh, spontaneity rules the day. Yeah, say yes, 666 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: go fast, run into a brick wall, quarter mile. That's right, 667 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: don't look at her, don't strategize, just do it. That 668 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: Someone should make a slogan out of that scrooge. New 669 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: Orleans Saint six and a half point favorites against the 670 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. I hate this Carolina too, you do? Yeah? Absolutely, 671 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean a Monday night game, we're obviously going to 672 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: need Carolina. Uh. I wonder how much of this is 673 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: Carolina preparing for this game. I don't want to make 674 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: excuses why they lost to the Browns, but I would 675 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: not be surprised if they played a lot more competitively 676 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: this this week. And uh, and that six and a 677 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: half becomes a really big number. Um. Now, having said that, 678 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: I've seen the Saints all year, laying these big numbers 679 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: on the road and still covering them. And even in games, 680 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: you know, the first half of that game last week, 681 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: it looked like they might have lost the game out right, 682 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,879 Speaker 1: they end up coming back covering. They can score so 683 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: quickly that they're never quite out of the game. And 684 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: that's scary. Uh So six and a half may seem 685 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: like a big number for the Saints, but I think 686 00:42:52,200 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: it's the right number. Uh. How do I avoid making 687 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: a bed in a six and a half point home dog? Yeah? 688 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: You gotta stick to your guns on these ones. I 689 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: mean they you know, that's a that's a you've been 690 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 1: playing them all year. Yeah, but that's that's a tough one. 691 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: Not a great slate this week, Not really. And you 692 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: don't have those kind of what we consider the low 693 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 1: hanging fruit games. You know, those games would just look 694 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: like an automatic automatic lock. Oh man, we did miss one? 695 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 1: Did you you're gonna do we talk about Dallas Indianapolis? 696 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: Did I miss it? Oh? My god, I totally did. 697 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, And that's and the reason I bring 698 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 1: it up is because that's one of the more interesting 699 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 1: games on the board. Uh, you know, hanging a solid 700 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: three knowing that we're going to be getting a ton 701 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: of Dallas money. Uh. The last few weeks we've been 702 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: seeing that Dallas money increasing more and more. Dallas is 703 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: playing better and better. But this Colts team, you know, 704 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: before they had that that surprising loss to uh, was 705 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: that Jacksonville A couple of weeks ago. Um, you know this, 706 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: this Colts team, we were pretty high on two, and 707 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: so I think three is the right number. Of the 708 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 1: public is not going to see it that way. The 709 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: public is gonna think that Dallas should be a short favorite. 710 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: But we think we have the number right. We're gonna 711 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: need the Colts, but I don't think we mind it. 712 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: We don't mind needing the Colts. Here. How did we 713 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: do in Scooch froo that last week? Who did you have? 714 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 1: I had? I had the Raiders? Wow, that's a good choice. 715 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: Did I have the Buccaneers? I had the Titans? Wait 716 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: and Scooch is gonna sing?

But we had a bet on, 720 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: Carolina that you would sing. I forgot about this. So 721 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: what's he gonna sing?
