14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: a long year here playing the game, but it's time

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: to play on a little bit. So give us your

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: first pick for Week eighteen for your favorite bets.

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: I am laying the points with the Cincinnati Bengals at

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: home against the Cleveland Browns, so this line hasn't moved

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: a lot. You're gonna see most of these lines are

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: completely different from when we talked about them on Monday,

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: so I'm sure you are be able to hop on

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: some CLV, but this line has stayed pretty steady with

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: the Bengals favored by a little bit more than a touchdown.

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: I just liked them in this spot to finish the

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: season strong. You know, Zach Taylor Joe Burrow. We don't

26
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: see this combination very often where Joe Burrow is healthy.

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: And we've seen over the last couple of weeks the

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals have been blowing teams.

29
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: Out that have been very, very inferior.

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: They won their last two games by twenty plus points,

31
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: beating Miami forty five to twenty one Week sixteen, Arizona

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: they won thirty seven to fourteen last week in Week seventeen.

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: And what do we do every single week when the

34
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: Browns are on the road, We bet against them because

35
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: they have been a disaster on the road, losing fourteen

36
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: of their last fifteen road games. They've only covered one

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: game on the road against the spread this season, and

38
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: it was against the Las Vegas Raiders, who we know

39
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 2: have the number one overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: So just looking at the quality of opponent the Glvelnd

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: Browns have played when they played on the road for more.

42
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: For the most part, that has not mattered, and they

43
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: have struggled to cover one and six against the spread

44
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: on the road. Again, that only cover coming against the

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders. Every other road loss that they've lost

46
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: seven points least. So I think Cincinnati, like they did

47
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: last year, even though they were kind of out of

48
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: playoff contention, they end the season on a high note.

49
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: I will lay the points here with the Cincinnati Bengals

50
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: Sdar Sanders making another start on the road, and it's

51
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: a chance that Harold fan and Junior the number one

52
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: pass catch for them, doesn't even play in this game

53
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: because he's done with a groin injury he left last

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: week inst Pittsburgh Steelers. So give me the Cincinnati Bengals

55
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: to again end the season on a high note.

56
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: And what was a lost year for Joe Burrow in company?

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: All right, My first bet of the week is for

58
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, who are looking to lock in that

59
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: number two seed in the NFC, get a home playoff game,

60
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: and of course get a little bit more kind of

61
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: stick the Lions on the way out here. The Lions

62
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: disappointing season, where they're gonna find themselves on the outside

63
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: looking in of the playoffs, and my preseason prediction ended

64
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: up coming true, which was you can't lose two coordinators

65
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: in offseason and make the playoffs. And the Lions didn't

66
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But the Bears are playing for something

67
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: this week. Ben Johnson has come out. He has been

68
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: very vocal about this and how important it is. You

69
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: want that home playoff game. It would most likely then

70
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: be against the Green Bay Packers. Now they can get

71
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: this if the Eagles lose or if the Bears win.

72
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: So the Bears kind of control their own destiny here

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Now, a loss paired with an Eagles

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: win drops the Bears to the number three seed. That's

75
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: not where they want to be. They are two and

76
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: a half point favorites. I think they win this football

77
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: game in Chicago because, of course, we love when we

78
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: see Jared Goff go on the road. That's always a

79
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: good thing, especially playing in Chili January winter weather never

80
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: a good thing here. So I'm gonna go with the

81
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears here minus two and a half. That's my

82
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: first of the bets for Week eighteen. Andrew Rickson, what

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: do you have next.

84
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: For the people so the aforementioned Eagles, they are going

85
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: to be taking on the Washington Commanders. Philadelphia is not

86
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: going to be playing all of its main starters, as

87
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: they're trying to prioritize health more than trying to move

88
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: up to the number two seed. Again, They're still probably

89
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: going to host a home game regardless, and we'll see

90
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: how things kind of shake out with the other teams

91
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: in the NFC. But it's gonna be Josh Johnson that's

92
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: going to be starting for the Washington Commanders. So I

93
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: do I like the Eagles laying the points here. We've

94
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: seen the spread move pretty dramatically. This was I think

95
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Eagles minus seven on Tuesday, and now as we're recording

96
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: this on Friday, it is down to Eagles minus four,

97
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: Eagles minus three.

98
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: And a half.

99
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: I don't hate that number, but I actually like the

100
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: under on the game total even more. Just give me

101
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: the under thirty nine points. Josh Johnson I don't think

102
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: is an NFL caliber starting quarterback. He is a backup

103
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: for a reason, and his reason he's played for twelve

104
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: billion teams it's because he's not very good. So I

105
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: like the Eagles, even though they're gonna be resting some

106
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: of their starters. I like this game to be lower

107
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: scoring and going back to my favorite trend all year long,

108
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: the Lasso lag. After teams faced the Dallas Cowboys, who

109
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: we saw them play on Christmas in the game, of

110
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: course went over the total, because every time you play

111
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, it goes over the game total. Teams

112
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: are two to two and eleven towards the over following

113
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: their game against the Dallas Cowboys. So Washington playing on

114
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: the road here against Philadelphia. Seven the eagles last eight

115
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: games have gone under the point total. I think it's

116
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: just a classic case of hey, Eagles, get in, get out,

117
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: win the game, move on. Hopefully maybe they can move

118
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: up to the number two seed if the Bears don't

119
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: end up beating the Detroit Lions. But if not, hey,

120
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: their guys are healthy. They get another win against the

121
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders, who just a disastrous season for Washington And

122
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: what's the point of even starting Josh Johnson really, like,

123
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: like why not get a look at like some of

124
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: these other quarterbacks on the roster. I just disasterrous season.

125
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: Eleven of the eagles last fifteen home games have also

126
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: gone under the points total, so think if financial field

127
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: is kind of home tours the under, and that's where

128
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bet this game under thirty nine points?

129
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: All right? Next one for me, New England Patriots. It's

130
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: a double digit number. But you know what, I watched

131
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Drake May surgically carve up the New York Jets last Sunday,

132
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's time for a repeat of that

133
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. Some still is recording this on

134
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 1: a Friday. Some questions about who's gonna really be playing

135
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins here as they close out the season.

136
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be quin Yours on the road in

137
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: thirty degree weather at the High by the Way for

138
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: the day, and New England's playing for a shot at

139
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: the number one seed. They're playing at four o'clock hour,

140
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: same time as Nenver Broncos. That way, nobody's scoreboard watching.

141
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's just trying to get that w So I expect

142
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots to be full tilted they try to get

143
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: that bye week and two home playoff games, even though

144
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: they've been road warriors all year. I'd like to see

145
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots try to get that number one seed the

146
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: bye and have a couple of home games two to

147
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. That seems like a much easier path

148
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: to me. Now will they get that? We shall see

149
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Denver controls their own destiny. But with the Miami Dolphins

150
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: coming down in a winter time in January into Foxborough,

151
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: yes it's a big number, but I think New England

152
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: will win this game handily by two touchdowns. So give

153
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: me the minus ten and a half year on the

154
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: pat side, Andrew Erickson, I know I've got some more

155
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: stuff for this game, and so do you. So let's

156
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: talk about Hunter Henry because he's got some incentives I

157
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: know this week.

158
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 2: Yes, I talked about this on the Fantasy Bureaus Prediction

159
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: show with Worm, where I wasn't laying sides here. I

160
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: wasn't picking sides between the Patriots Dolphins because I'm obviously

161
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: rooting for my Patriots to win. So I Patriots, our Patriots,

162
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: soon to be everybody's Patriots because we're all back in

163
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: never Patriots. So I'm going to Hunter Henry here, who

164
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: is a five catches away from a contract incentive of

165
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: sixty catches where he can earn an additional five hundred K.

166
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: He actually has another one at sixty five receptions. I

167
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: don't know if he's gonna catch that many passes in

168
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: this game, but he only needs five to hit his

169
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: first contract bonus. His receptions prop line is usually around

170
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: three and a half.

171
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Now, they haven't.

172
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: Released all of the player props just because of the

173
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: ambiguity about what teams are doing certain players playing. I

174
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: know that there's some question marks about whether Steffan Diggs

175
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: is going to play in this game, so I think

176
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: that's kind of why where the books are holding out.

177
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: But I would expect that this line is dropped around

178
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: three and a half or even four receptions. I would

179
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: take the over on that because Henry just needs five

180
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: to hit that number. It's a good matchup against the

181
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins. They're allowing the second most catch to tight

182
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: ends this season, six point five per game. And it's

183
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: also considering that Minka Fitzpatrick, the safety for the Dolphins,

184
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: probably isn't going to play in this game, so Miami's

185
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: got a couple injuries on the defensive side of the football.

186
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: Hunter Henry has been the checkdown guy for Drake May

187
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: all year long, and if there is no stefon Diggs

188
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: or if he's disciplined by the team, internally, he doesn't

189
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: play his normal allotment of snaps. I think that Henry

190
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: will kind of emerge as the go to guy for

191
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: Hunter Henry in a positive matchup. So give me the

192
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: over on his receptions prop once it drops on hard

193
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: Rock bet.

194
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: And on that note, that brings me to my third one,

195
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay in this gave me a lot of

196
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: bets of this game. Drake May over two fifteen and

197
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: a half passing yards. Now, he's gone over this number

198
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: every single week since Week eight, except for that game

199
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills where they put up a lot

200
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: of points and they kind of fell apart in the

201
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: second half, so it's a pretty good number. They're pretty

202
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: good spot. I do think Diggs will end up playing

203
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: because again, this legal stuff tends to drag on quite

204
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: a bit from the NFL perspective many many times, sometimes

205
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: over many seasons and years. We've seen that happen as well,

206
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: So we're going to take our time on that one.

207
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: But Drake May two to fifteen a half passing yards.

208
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: I think we will get the over on this one,

209
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: and I expect Hunter Henry, like Andrew does, to be

210
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: busy all the time all day long as well. Speaking

224
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: Number four on our list, Andrew, you talked a little

225
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: bit about incentives. Now I'm gonna talk about incentives. It's

226
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: a tough matchup here for Tony Pollard and the Tennessee

227
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: Tides against the Jags defense. However, he is just sixty

228
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: six yards away from a two hundred and fifty thousand

229
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: dollars bonus, also two touchdowns away from another two hundred.

230
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get the two touchdowns, but

231
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: I do think he gets the sixty six yards. Do

232
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: I think he gets a lot more than that? Probably not,

233
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: But the over under here is sixty six and a

234
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: half for him, and I'm gonna go over that number.

235
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: I think he can get that. Andrew Erickson, what is

236
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: your next pick for Week eighteen?

237
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: I'm going to the Arizona Cardinals catching seven and a

238
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: half points playing at the Los Angeles Rams because I

239
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: think Sean mcvays a liar. Jolly honest, I don't really

240
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: care what he has to say about. Oh well, our

241
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: starters are gonna play. So are they gonna play the

242
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: whole game?

243
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: Sean? Are they gonna play the first half? They're gonna

244
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: play the first quarter?

245
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: Like?

246
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 3: What are we gonna see?

247
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: Because your sample size of playing your stars in week

248
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: eighteen is non existent, Like you don't care about playing

249
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: those specific players. Now there's a little bit of okay,

250
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: what are they playing for? Because there's a chance that

251
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: there's literally nothing for them to play for. If the

252
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks end up beating the forty nine ers, So

253
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: I think that's something to kind of keep in mind.

254
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: With the incentive.

255
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: Obviously, the Rams would like to get up to that

256
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: number five seed so that they could play the winner

257
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: of the NFC South, which is definitely a better draw

258
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: than going to you know, Philadelphia or Chicago whoever had

259
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 2: that shakes out for the number two three seed, but

260
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: there's a chance that the Rams to him to make

261
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: that or have that choice. So I think that this

262
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: is more of a hey, I want our guys to prepare,

263
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: want them to be in the mindset of, Okay, we're

264
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: going to win this game. And Week eighteen, it's a

265
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: really big deal against a divisional opponent against Arizona Cardinals.

266
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: But I think when push comes to shove, like he's

267
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: gonna want to get his guys out of there, and

268
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: it wants to make sure that Matthew Stafford, DeVante Adams,

269
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: offensive line, Blake korm all these guys are one hundred

270
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: percent healthy for when it really really matters, And this

271
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: game doesn't really really matter for anything. So Arizona is

272
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: live to cover any spread anyway because of how often

273
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: that they drop back to throw the football. This game

274
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: is being played indoors, so I like Arizona to cover here.

275
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: Again.

276
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of line movement from the week

277
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: of the early look Ahead line show we did on Monday.

278
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: This is the one that I still like a decent amount,

279
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: even though it's not as big as it once was.

280
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: I think it was like plus ten and a half

281
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: before that Monday night football game kicked off. We all

282
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: kind of thought the Rams were going to win. They

283
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 2: didn't win that game, so it made Week eighteen maybe

284
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: a little bit more impactful for them, But I don't really.

285
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: See it that way.

286
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: So give me the Arizona Cardinals catching touchdown plus on

287
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: the road here against the Rams, because don't think you're

288
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: going to see Matthew Stafford in the second half.

289
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're probably right. I can't wait to

290
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: see what Andrews best bet of the week is. We'll

291
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: get to that in just a second, because we got

292
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: one more to go here and this one. Sometimes by

293
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: the end of the year, you have to kind of

294
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: throw a logic out the window, or at least learn

295
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: something from what you've seen in the season. If we've

296
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: played seventeen weeks and you haven't learned anything, then Week

297
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: eighteen sankna teach anything. And the one thing I've learned

298
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: about the Baltimore Ravens is they don't always win the

299
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: games are supposed to win, and the Pittsburgh Steelers don't

300
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: always lose the games they're supposed to lose. So what

301
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: happens here when you have the immovable force meets the

302
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin object. You have a situation here where the

303
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Steelers are underdogs at home on a primetime game win

304
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: or go home here scenario. I don't know how healthy

305
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's going to be. I can't speak to that.

306
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us can. I saw Derek

307
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Henry run amok a week ago. That was pretty impressive.

308
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Got to stick with that, right, Maybe we've learned something,

309
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: But then again, did we have to learn that John

310
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Harbaugh necessarily? I don't know what it is, but I

311
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: feel like the Ravens continue have this division the palm

312
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: of their hand and continue to pass it off every

313
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: chance they get to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I think

314
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it yet again. So I'm gonna go

315
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh Steelers here plus three and a half

316
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. This one's in Pittsburgh. We'll see

317
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: if we get TJ. Watt back for this game. It's

318
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: a huge game. I believe we probably will because the

319
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: impact of it, and one of these coaches is gonna

320
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: be on the hot seat. Who loses this football game,

321
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: that's for sure. So again, should the Ravens win, Yes,

322
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: we learned this year that that's not always the case.

323
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: We have and I think we're gonna see it again.

324
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: And I do not think that without DK Metcalf, the

325
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers should be in a position to win this game,

326
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: and somehow I think they will find a way to

327
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: do just that. So Laura on that. In just a moment,

328
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: Andrew Rickson, give us your last bet here of the

329
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: week before we get to our favorite bets of the week.

330
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: Sticking to the Cardinals in rams game, I'm going back

331
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: to Michael Wilson to go over sixty five and a

332
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: half receiving yards. He needs ninety three receiving yards to

333
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: get to a thousand yards for the first time in

334
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: his NFL career.

335
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 3: What else are the Cardinals playing for here? Again?

336
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: Trey McBride already broke all the tight end records so

337
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: if anything is just hey, let's make his records even.

338
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: Harder to break for future tight end.

339
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: So let's just feed him a billion targets and the

340
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: next guy that also just absolutely feasts every time that

341
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior doesn't play. We're not expecting Harrison Junior

342
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: to play. I think he's already been ruled out after

343
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: he injured. I think his other heel in Week seventeen,

344
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson has just basically turned into Jerry Rice two

345
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: point zero with the when Marvin Harrison Junior has missed time,

346
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: he has gone over sixty five and a half receiving

347
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: yards in three of the four games that Harrison has

348
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: missed completely. He's gone over one hundred and eighteen yards

349
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: in three of those four games. So he's been an

350
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: absolute monster when Harrison has been out of the lineup

351
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: average one hundred and twenty five yards per game without

352
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: Harrison Junior in the lineup. So sixty five and a

353
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: half receiving yards I don't think is high enough for

354
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: where his receiving lide should be. Given that they know

355
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: ninety three is that key number for him to get

356
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: to a thousand. I think they're going to get him there,

357
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: so take the over on sixty five and a half

358
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: alted up seventy eighty ninety six. I think ultimately they're

359
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: going to get into a one thousand yards.

360
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: All right, it's time everybody for our best bets for

361

396
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm still going with New England Patriots

397
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: fighting for that one seed, putting a hurtin on the

398
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in the cold North, not someplace that Dolphins

399
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: typically play very well. Rookie quarterback on the road. I

400
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: think this is going to get ugly, not quite Jets

401
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: Patriots ugly, but I do think it will be a

402
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: two touchdown game at least, So give me the ten

403
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: and a half. And Andrew Rickson, what's your best bet

404
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: for Week eighteen.

405
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Cincinnati Bengals minus seven and a

406
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: half hosting the Cleveland Browns. Just the Browns are one

407
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: of these teams that you just have to continue to

408
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: bet against when they go on the road. Their last

409
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: fifteen road games, they have lost fourteen of their last

410
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: fifteen road games, and they have failed to cover the

411
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 2: spread eleven of their last twelve road games win and

412
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: six against the spread on the road this season. As

413
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier in the show, the only time they've

414
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: covered on the road, Wichard dr Sanders first start against

415
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders, who are holding the number one

416
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: draft pick in this upcoming draft to season, So they

417
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: beat the worst team in the NFL on the road.

418
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: But besides that, it has been a no buoying of

419
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: situation for Cleveland Owens seven against the spread after win

420
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: as well, So Cleveland plucky last week beating the Pittsburgh Steelers.

421
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: And another element to this bet, too, Joe, is there

422
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 2: were so much emphasis last week put on Miles Garrett

423
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: and how the Steelers were going out of their way

424
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: to make sure that we can't let them get the

425
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: sack record. I think that could work opposite for the

426
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: Browns this week, where they're so fixated, Oh, we got

427
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: to get make sure Miles Garrett gets that last sack.

428
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: We got to make sure he sacks show.

429
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Oh he's gonna get it. He didn't play in the Cincinnati.

430
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: Bengals, Okay, But what I'm saying is if they're gonna

431
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: be able to do that, if they're running football effectively

432
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: with Chase Brown, Like what if they're going to do

433
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: what if he doesn't get in the first half, then

434
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: the the other pass rushers, the other defensive players, they

435
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: start pressing a little bit. Maybe some of the other

436
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: pass rushers think, oh, I got to take some off

437
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: the gas here because I gotta make sure Miles Garrett

438
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: gets to the quarterback, not me getting to the quarterback.

439
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: He needs a full sack, not a half sack.

440
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: So I just think that they're gonna be so preoccupied

441
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 2: with other things they're not gonna be try to worry

442
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: about winning this game, which is why I like the

443
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: Bengals laying the points here. So yeah, I ultimately I

444
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: agree with you.

445
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: Yah.

446
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get it, but the Bengals are

447
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: gonna win by more than a touchdown, So yeah, okay.

448
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: Arry have it. Everybody. Remember you can put these two

458
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: last one here, upset special. I'd been pretty good seven

459
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: and ten on the upset specials. That's not bad. Andrew

460
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: ericson upset specials are tough. And I've been on a

461
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: streak to four in a row last couple. I'm gonna

462
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: finish strong here in this last one. And you know

463
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: where I'm going. I already talked about it, so I'm

464
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: not gonna beat the horse till it's dead. The Pittsburgh

465
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: Steelers should lose this game. Baltimore Ravens are a better team.

466
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: I think they have better talent. I think in a

467
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of ways, better skill players, better situation, better pizza,

468
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: Papa John's, They've got everything. But for some reason, the

469
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens just have shown you who they are and

470
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: in these games that really matter, they just cannot show up.

471
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: They just cannot do it. Should they give the ball

472
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry five thousand times? They should? If he

473
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: fumbles again, will they go away from him? I don't know,

474
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: Maybe they will. All I know is I've watched enough

475
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: Ravens football and Steelers football to know two things. Every

476
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: time the Ravens are in a position to win a

477
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: game that they should win and take a hold of

478
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: this division, they blow it. And every time the Pittsburgh

479
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: Steelers are in a position where I go out, well,

480
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: this is not going to go out for the Pittsburgh

481
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: Steelers like Detroit, like many other games that I can

482
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: just harke him back to throughout the season. Somehow the

483
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: Steelers find a way and I think this will be

484
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: a big night with a big crowd in Pittsburgh, very

485
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: excited to knock the Ravens out of the playoffs. So

486
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: give me the Pittsburgh Steelers. Shout out to you, Scott

487
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: bog And I don't know why I point to the sky.

488
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: He's still alive. Plus one seventy nine on the money

489
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: line for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

490
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: That I like this because what's the process? Say?

491
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: When it's you just take whoever the underdog is, and

492
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 2: that bet usually cashes every single time, and it does

493
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: especially with a plus three and a half where that's

494
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: your best bet. Yeah, they don't even have to win

495
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: this game to cover the spread. But I think from

496
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: it against the spread perspective, you gotta take this year

497
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 2: again is they're a home underdog, right, This is like

498
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: betting one on one Mike Tom and home underdog.

499
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I bet that guy and I'll get against that.

500
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: In recent years, even last year in the playoffs, I

501
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: told everybody, no, they're gonna get their ass kicked, and

502
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: they did in the playoffs. But this year's a little different.

503
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: This isn't the this isn't Russell Wilson playing quarterback either.

504
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: It's Aaron Rodgers. And this could be Aaron rodgers last

505
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: game too, And I don't think he wants to go

506
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: out like that. I'm just telling you right now, inspired football.

507
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: By Aaron Rodgers.

508
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: Do you like?

509
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: Is your confidence higher with the Steelers if it's against

510
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: Lamar and not Tyler Huntley?

511
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: Or do you not?

512
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I have no confidence in either team. Confidence is not

513
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: the word I would use to describe my feelings about

514
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: either of these teams. I think both are gonna get

515
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: bounced in the first round no matter what. In the AFC.

516
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: Right you look at some of these teams like Jacksonville

517
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: playing great football, Houston playing good football. You know, the

518
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: New Englan Patriots can't lose on the road all year.

519
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy, like I just think they're they're teams

520
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: playing good Denver Broncos obviously, but you know whoever it

521
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: ends up beating for them in this first round and

522
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: on how it's gonna shake out with the seating.

523
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 3: Houston or Buffalo problem.

524
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen I think would beat both of these teams.

525
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: And I can always say Josh Allen because I don't

526
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: say the Buffalo Bills because I think that's the way

527
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: we should look at the Buffalo Bills.

528
00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 3: Him and James Cook the.

529
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: I think the Houston Texans would destroy either of these

530
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: two teams.

531
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: Well, it is on the road that will be.

532
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 2: They will be at road, like whoever wins this game

533
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: will host a home game, and gods Berg is a

534
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 2: They do have home deal advantage there right is one of.

535
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: The travel has it?

536
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: He's in Texas have defense.

537
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: Bad offensive lines. Don't travel though, is very very bad.

538
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: Well cross that bridge next Monday here on the program,

539

541
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: But the story of the game goes on for Andrew Ericson.
