31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: of the season one, two and eighty seven. With only

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: two games this week, the guys are once again bringing

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: two best bets to the table. We will start with

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Anderson. We will go AFC, then NFC work ourselves

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: chronological as the Sunday winds down. So let's go to

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Baltimore Kansas City. Brandon's first pick, what do you got?

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the under, but I'm gonna

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: take the second half under twenty two and a half. Really,

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 4: for all the talk that we're rightfully getting about Pa

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: Mahomes Tamar Jackson, when it comes down to in this game,

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: I just trust the defenses more. I trust the defensive

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: coordinators more so. Kansas City coming off probably their best

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: offensive game of the season against the Bills, right, but

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: the things they did against Buffalo. I don't think are

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: gonna work here. They won deep Mbs actually cut passes

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: for the first time in his life. Baltimore is like

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: top three against the deep ball, so I don't think

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 4: that's gonna happen here. Kansasity o in the middle of

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: the field. They ran a ton of twelve and thirteen personnel,

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: lots of tight ends out there. Why because Buffalo is

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: literally out of linebackers. Nobody left. Baltimore is one of

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: the best linebacking crew in the league. So Buffalo is

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 4: playing nickel against them. I think Baltimore can play base there.

54
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: I don't see the stuff that worked for the Chiefs

55
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: working here. And Joe Toney, great guard, looks like he's

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 4: probably not gonna play here. The other guard, Tray Smith,

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: has yet to practice this week. I don't think that's

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: a thing, but man, I would not want to have

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: even him less than full not great. The interior is

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: the strength there. Their tackles have not been good all season,

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: Like Jamar Taylor just got another false start, just hearing

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: his name talked about on this podcast, Like the man's

63
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: a walking penalty. So what happens if you get into

64
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: your pressure? We got Mike McDonald all that defense, the

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: creative pass rush I think he saw against Miami Cover zero.

66
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: Baltimore doesn't do a lot of cover zero kind of

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: all out blitz there, but mixing that in here and there.

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: Getting Mahomes under pressure normally not the thing you want.

69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: Do you want to blitz Pat Mahomes with this year?

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: Mahomes is twenty seventh and with offense and Dvaway under

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: pressure that's just not been their go too because he

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: doesn't have trust in his receivers to beat that regularly.

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: And if you look for his career, the way you

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: beat Mahomes is you force him to hang out to

75
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: the ball longer and have to turn into playmaking because

76
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: he's getting pressure coming at him. If he has under

77
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: three seconds a throw over ninety percent, win right straight up.

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: If it's three seconds or more, basically fifty to fifty,

79
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: they're gonna win the game. So that's how you get

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: after the offense. I don't know that I really can

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: buy the Chiefs offense is just back quote unquote, just

82
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: because maybeat Miami, the beat Buffalo. Half the defense are

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: in the hospital. So I don't know I'm ready to

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: go there against such a good Baltimore defense, But I

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: don't know that I trust the Ravens offense to have

86
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: this huge game. Either they're gonna run. We all know

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna run. The great run team. Chiefs are among

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 4: the bottom of the league against the run run DVA

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: run stop win rate bottom five and six there. But

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: Chiefs are a top five pass d by DV away

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: And honestly, we know how I feel about Tamar Jackson.

92
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: The pass offense just hasn't quite passed the eye test

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: for me as a top top play there. Look, Lamar Jackson,

94
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 4: we just watched against Houston last week. I know the

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: final score said, dude, look like a rookie against the

96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: blitz for an entire half of football, Like, oh my god,

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: out they're blitzing me.

98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: What do I do?

99
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'm getting sacked again. Steve Spagnolo is

100
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: gonna have some answers and some tests for Lamar. And

101
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: it looked like Lamar solved the blitz in the second

102
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: half because he did because of what he used to do.

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: They just kept blitzing every play. Spagnola's gonna mix it up,

104
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 4: He's gonna blitz, He's gonna drop he's gonna change over

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: the coverages and now you've got Lamar Jackson guessing the

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: way they solved is real easy. How do you solve

107
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: a blitz to get the ball out faster? Like we

108
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: all know that watching, but you can't do that every

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: time if the coverages are changed. So I think Speg's

110
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: can get after Lamar a little bit. I just feel

111
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 4: like there's a lot of avenues here for things to

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: go low and uh weather factor always in the play.

113
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to do the weather report. We'll let

114
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 4: the Bundo check in there, but possible wins here definitely

115
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: help an under. And then why second half under your

116
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: first time about on the podcast a lot this year

117
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: Chiefs second half unders seventeen and two for the season,

118
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: Like it looks like it has to be an error

119
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 4: on the paper. If you had just bet Chiefs second

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: half under all season one hundred bucks a bet, you're

121
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: up thirteen hundred and seventy three dollars just from one

122
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: the season of doing that, and Kansas City in the

123
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: second half the season five point two points allowed per

124
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: game in the second half, Like that has to be

125
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 4: a type all right, But the thing is they're only

126
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: scoring six point six under a touchdown themselves. Kansas City's

127
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 4: defense has allowed over one touchdown only four times all season.

128
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: That includes seven points in both second halfs combined in

129
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: the playoffs so far. If you go back to the

130
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: last seven games, twenty six points allowed in the second half.

131
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: That includes a Bengals game, Dolphins game, and two Buffalo

132
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: Bills games. So this is just what the script has

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: been all season. It's a tough game to read, but

134
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: I lean under, and because of the second half Chiefs

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 4: trend so strong, I'm just gonna narrow it to the

136
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: second half under Chiefs Ravens second half under twenty two

137
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: and a half.

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Okay, and that right now at bet MGM juice to

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the under minus one fifteen. So it might be one

140
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: you want to play sooner rather than later to get

141
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: the best number. Twenty two and a half. Last week

142
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: against Buffalo total in the second half, it's twenty one.

143
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs did score fourteen, but they were so efficient in

144
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: that game. They had five less minutes of time of

145
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: possession with their efficiency. But a different animal here with

146
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in that running game. Speaking of which Lamar

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Jackson dubundo. Your first bet is surrounded by the quarterback.

148
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: In Boltim, Yeah, I'm gonna go with Lamar Jackson under

149
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: two eight and a half pass yards has come down

150
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: a couple of yards. Still think it's okay here in

151
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: this game AFC Championship. I think both offenses are gonna

152
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: have a bunch of success running the ball, and Baltimore

153
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: is probably gonna use some of the stuff that I

154
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: thought was really interesting last week, which was not using

155
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: Lamar as just a scrambler, but using him as part

156
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: of designed run offenses, which we hadn't really seen a

157
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: lot in the regular season, but we saw them use

158
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: more of in this game. And we saw the Bills

159
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: use you know, Allen as a runner and use that

160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: advantage to create numbers of advantages against the Chiefs defensive front,

161
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: which has not been good against the run. As Brandon

162
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: was discussing twenty sixth in run DVOA bottom eight and

163
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: epa per rush allowed. They can get overrun here, and

164
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the one thing that they've really

165
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: struggled with defensively is when teams have gone two backers

166
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: against them, two running backs in the backfield, they have

167
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: been really bad against the run as well. So I

168
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: think the Ravens can throw a lot of different looks

169
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: at them and really create a ton of success on

170
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: the ground, and I think it's going to limit the

171
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: mount that Lamar is going to have to pass explosively.

172
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned it last week, you know they played from

173
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: the front, which I think they're going to be doing

174
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: again in this matchup. I would lean toward Baltimore if

175
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: I had to bet the game as well, because I

176
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: do think they have some real advantages. But if they're ahead,

177
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: they're going to lean conservatively and lean on the run

178
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: game and be successful at it to the point where

179
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: I think Mahomes will get his on his side of

180
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: the ball, but the Ravens are going to have the

181
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: lead be running efficiently. And I bet the last two

182
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: games under just because I think this chief secondary has

183
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: been undervalued all year. They're really good at taking away

184
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: the top receiver sneed's been excellent, and they can kind

185
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: of roll coverage over the middle if you know the

186
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: Ravens are going to go two tight ends to running backs,

187
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: which I actually think we might see a decent amount

188
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: of in this game, especially if Andrews is back in

189
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: the lineup, which he's trending toward playing could see like

190
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: an Andrews Hill Edwards and likely lineup with is one receiver.

191
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: I think they're going to go very narrow and try

192
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: to lean on the power run. Where the Chiefs have

193
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: really had issues this year is stopping quarterback runs and

194
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: stopping power runs. So I think it's going to be

195
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: effective for them to run the ball unless Lamar will

196
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: go come in under his number, trusting the Chiefs defense

197
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: and look, like you said, Brandon, like Lamar. It was

198
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: good against the Blitz in the second half last week,

199
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: But generally speaking, when you think of what's the best

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: way to stop Lamar Jackson, it's been the Blitz. And

201
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be able to run a bunch

202
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: and use his legs to get out of those situations,

203
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: not necessarily you know, throwing the ball explosively down the field.

204
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: So I like the under for Lamar, and I think

205
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: it's going to be right. You know, we were talking

206
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: off air, Brandon and I, and because we're on opposite

207
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: sides of the total, I don't necessarily think that a

208
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: Lamar pass yards under is you know, indicative that we're

209
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: going to get an under in the game. The weather

210
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: is certainly trending the wrong direction for overbetters because the

211
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: models are still uncertain about this storm event. But there

212
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: is going to be some precipitation coming through from a

213
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: low pressure system in Del Marvis somewhere. How much it

214
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: stays around for the whole game is still uncertain, but

215
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: certainly at the start of the game looks like it's

216
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: gonna be some rain. So I am gonna go with

217
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: the Lamar under instead of my over as my best

218
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: bet for this game.

219
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: Can I ask quickly? Just Devil's advocate and I thought

220
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Likely was a good fill in tight end. But with

221
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: Andrews back, does that it all make you think that

222
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: maybe they'll look for Andrews more middle of the field

223
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: for yards passing.

224
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: I mean, certainly like he adds an element of explosiveness

225
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: over the middle for them, But I think Likely was

226
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: doing just fine in that role. I agree, So I

227
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: don't know how much more utility they get out of

228
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: having both.

229
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: Fair Enough, speaking of our friend Lamar Jackson, who is

230
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: likely to win the MVP of the National Football League, Brandon,

231
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: we didn't do this last week, we should do it

232
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: this week because Lamar advanced He's in the conference Championship.

233
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: I want to shout out M Torres with two s's,

234
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: two r's, two s's. M Torres left a five star

235
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: review on the podcast a few weeks back, going after

236
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Brandon in his review for the Constant Lamar Jackson Slander.

237
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: And here he is Conference title game at home as

238
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: a favorite, granted against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. But

239
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm Torres. You want to email

240
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: podcasts at actionnetwork dot com. Our audio crew will take

241
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: care of you. They're going to send you over some

242
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: merch for your contributions. But you're helping M Torres continue

243
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: the conversation as we set up Brandon because he's on

244
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: the same play. But I'm sure there'll be more negativity

245
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: spun into this take from Brandon.

246
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we'll love a good five star review. We

247
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: may as well give another five star pick and give

248
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 4: another Lamar under That's a five star pick if I

249
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: ever heard one. It's funny because I prep for this

250
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: game on a Tuesday and came away thinking I'm under

251
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: on the game, and of all the props on the

252
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: entire board, touchdowns, yards carries everything, the one prop I

253
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 4: had mark is Lamar Jackson under so as I'm usually

254
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: kind of part of my process for the week. De

255
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: Bundo's pass or play column comes out like late Tuesday usually,

256
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: and I try to do my prep and then check, Okay,

257
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: where's he at? So I read his whole column and

258
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: we're exact opposite. He's over, I'm under. I don't love that.

259
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: And then what happens We come to the exact same

260
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 4: prop at the end of Lamar Jackson under so Yeah,

261
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: I think I think that's good that we can think

262
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: of a very different script of the game and still

263
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: like the same prop. I think that's a good, you know,

264
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: good process that depending on how the game goes, there's

265
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: a lot of different ways we can get here. Just

266
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: some of the numbers on Lamar Jackson under Chiefs allowed

267
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: one hundred and ninety seven yards a game passing, so

268
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: under two hundred and fourth lowest in the NFL. They

269
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: have allowed under two hundred yards passing ten times already

270
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: this season, ten times under two hundred. That two hundred

271
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: does not seem like much to me. That was really surprising.

272
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: That's both playoff games too. By the way, Josh Allen

273
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: one eighty six last week to one ninety nine and

274
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: that's to a passing from behind all game that one too.

275
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: Chiefs have not allowed three hundred yard all season. So

276
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: when I first thought of this one, before I even

277
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: looked at a line, I was hoping for like a

278
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: one to eighty one eighty five, That's what I was

279
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 4: kind of hoping. Maybe we get a line somewhere that ranged.

280
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: This was two eleven and a half when I first

281
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: saw it, So, like Dubundo said, I'd rather have the

282
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 4: extra couple of yards, but don't mind it there. Lamar's

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: at five playoff games. One time he threw fifty nine

284
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: times against the Titans, had three hundred and sixty five yards.

285
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 4: The other four games one ninety four and lower. So

286
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: under in four of his five playoff games doesn't have

287
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: to be a slander pick. He can have a big

288
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: game with running the ball, Like Dubundo said, he can

289
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: escape and scramble there. I think a lot of times

290
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: design scrambles in some way can almost be like the

291
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: most dangerous weapon that you have because of what Lamar

292
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: does as a runner, He's obviously an absolute electric runner.

293
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 4: So I love the under here. I was going to

294
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: make a note of it in my game angle as

295
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: my favorite prop for this one, and then thought of

296
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 4: just chime in with Dubundos. So we're in on our

297
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: five star Lamar under.

298
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: This third straight week for me. And you know, I

299
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: think the Chiefs defense pass defense has been underrated all playoffs,

300
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: and I think even last week you saw it, right.

301
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: So some of it was Josh Allen and just kind

302
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: of like the Bill's weapons just not being quite in sync.

303
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs did not allow a pass beyond five

304
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: yards to be completed last week in the Bills game

305
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: against Josh Allen, who's, you know, one of the best

306
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: downfield throwers in the league. Granted they're won a ton

307
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: of attempts and there was a couple of drops, but

308
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: the secondary makes life very difficult for passers to throw

309
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: down the field effectively. You saw that in just about

310
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: every good quarterback they played this year struggle to throw

311
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: it down the field efficiently. I just think that both

312
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: offenses will have success running the ball here and thus

313
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: it'll be inefficient, you know, offenses, even though that the

314
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: pass won't necessarily be there for Baltimore down the field.

315
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I think we hammered the Lamar angle. Our Betty

316
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: prop Beck guys on the Lamar over rush attempts to

317
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: over nine and a half, which that's moving to ten

318
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: and a half. Would rather get the nine and the half.

319
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: Little juice, But I I wanted to add quickly there

320
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: is a lineup for Mark Andrews at bet MGM receiving

321
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: yards thirty f four and a half slight choose to

322
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: the over. Okay, we haven't heard from Grant Neefer. Grant's

323
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: been waiting patiently chime in on the pod.

324
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I mean I'd actually like that pick. I

325
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: like the Lamar under. I mean it's strength Baltimore being

326
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: one of the best rushing offenses in the entire league

327
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: versus the Chiefs on the best pass defenses well below

328
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: average in terms of run defense. It just makes sense

329
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: to Lamar to rush of ball a lot. But I'm

330
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: rolling with an over instead of an under, and I'm

331
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: rolling on the chief side of things. Even though you

332
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: guys both love the under, still a decent chance it's

333
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: gonna hit. But Rashid Rice over sixty and a half

334
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: yards is just a little bit low. He's been fantastic

335
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: the second half of the season. The Chiefs pretty much

336
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: the entirety of the first half of the season, we're

337
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: trying to figure out, all right, who do we put where,

338
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: what do we do? Who's going to be the main guy?

339
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: I mean, Hardman, you have mvs, you have all sorts

340
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: of just kind of mediocre to bat wide receivers in

341
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: this offense, to Tony like everyone has not been that great.

342
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: And then Rice comes in here and he finally starts

343
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: to do well in the second half of the season.

344
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: They finally decide, all right, we're essentially giving him the

345
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: not quite Tyreek role when it was Tyreek and Kell.

346
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: But he's gonna be the main guy. He's gonna be

347
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: the guy that's gonna be heavily target targeted. He's gonna

348
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: be the guy we rely on in the playoffs. So far,

349
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: he actually has more targets than all other wide receivers

350
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: combined in this offense. And after what Hardman did last week,

351
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't expect him to get a ton of volume.

352
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: Volume has been fantastic for Rice. He's hit the over

353
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: at this number and eight out of or six out

354
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: of the last eight games, had nine targets in six

355
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: out of the last eight games. Last week he only

356
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: had four, but Mahmes only threw the ball twenty three

357
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: times and Brandon kind of went over what was going

358
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: on there. Linebackers over Buffalo not great, so they were

359
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: just gonna focus on running the ball anyways. Looking at

360
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs, like he has one hundred and seventy seven

361
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: rushing or receiving yards so far. And it's been terrible

362
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: weather game. We talked about how it could potentially be

363
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: raining a little bit of wind. It's not like Mahomes

364
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: hasn't had to deal with awful weather games. I mean

365
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: the windshield in the Miami game was negative. Buffalo, it's

366
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: playing in Buffalo. There was of snow earlier on, it

367
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: was cold. There's always win in Buffalo this time of year.

368
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: Like he's played in some rough weather games so far

369
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: in the playoffs ready, and still Rice is going to

370
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 3: get a lot of volume. We talk about how MVS

371
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: was heavily involved in the last game and actually caught

372
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: two long bombs and they've planned to throw downfield, and

373
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: that Baltimore is much better at getting lower at targets,

374
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: like Rice is still going to be heavily involved in

375
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: that too. Like he's him and Kelsey are the two

376
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: guys in this offense that are going to get all

377
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: the volumes, so we can expect Mahomes to be more

378
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: like he has for most of the season, thirty seven,

379
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: forty passing attempts, not focusing as much on the run.

380
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 3: Even though Baltimore is a much better pass defense, they

381
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: are a run defense. There's going to be a high

382
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: volume of throws because that's just kind of the way

383
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: this offense operates. I mean, Mahomes had forty plus passing

384
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: attempts in like seven games this year. Six games this year.

385
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: I want to say Rice is going to get the volume.

386
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: Sixty point five is just too low a number.

387
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Nico Collins while they only scored ten points Houston,

388
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: Nico Collins leading receiver sixty eight yards through the air

389
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: on five catches in the divisional round. Okay, good bye.

390
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: By the way, I bet MGM offering Rashi Rice fifty

391
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: nine and a half receiving yards right now. Okay, Brandon

392
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: your second pick? Please? What you got?

393
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go over to the NFC. And I can't

394
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: make up my mind in this game on will Detroit's score.

395
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: I think the Niners defense a touch overrated. Obviously, we

396
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 4: know I was fading them last week. With the Packers,

397
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: but we got Jared Goff outdoors. Their offensive line is

398
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: banged up. I kind of wanted to avoid the Lions

399
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 4: side of the equation. The one thing on Sunday that

400
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 4: I feel most confident about in either game, I think

401
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: the Niners are gonna score. So give me the forty

402
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 4: nine Ers team total over twenty eight and a half.

403
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: Like I think everyone agrees with these four teams left,

404
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 4: this is the best offense the Niners. This is the

405
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: worst defense the Lions. Like all the four, I think

406
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: we pretty much all agree on that, But I think

407
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: that we're missing, perhaps is how much in both of

408
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 4: those directions Detroit's defense they've hit some real issues this season,

409
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: especially against the past. San Francisco has been when their

410
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 4: guys are healthy, number one offense and number one passing offense,

411
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: but number one passing offense by DV Away by like

412
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 4: a country mile, Like if you look at what the

413
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: number is, the percentage there, really they should be they

414
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 4: their number one and then like two, three, four, five,

415
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 4: six are just blank spots to show you how far

416
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 4: ahead of the field that they are there. And the

417
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: passing defense is where Detroit is really susceptible. To be

418
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: attacked here. When Purdy, McCaffrey, Debo, and Trent Williams play together.

419
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 4: They've lost one game ever, that's it, and it's the

420
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: Baltimore game. It's a big one. We might get the

421
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: rematch in the super Bowl, but when those four are

422
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: out there, they're demolishing teams. I personally think that Deebo

423
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 4: was the least important of those four, so I know

424
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 4: he's hurt. We don't know right now as we're recording

425
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 4: will we play. He did get a limited practice and

426
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 4: I think that he's going to play. That's just Myrida's situation.

427
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 4: It's his other shoulder from what was hurt. You hear

428
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: a lot about the Deebo splits. The Deebo splits look

429
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: that way because Trent Williams and Purdy were also hurt

430
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: in the games where Deebo was, and I think they're

431
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: more important than him. So I expect you but to play.

432
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: I will like this even if he doesn't, because the

433
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: Niners offense is that good. The Lions defense I think

434
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 4: could have some real problems here. They had seven games

435
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: this season out of their eighteen came against a top

436
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: half of the league. DVA offensively seven out of eighteen. Now,

437
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: one of those is weak one against the Chiefs, no

438
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: Travis Kelce brand new offensive line, so I'm gonna throw

439
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 4: that one out. One of them was Week four against

440
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: the Packers, back when the Packers weren't good yet, back

441
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: before Debundo was even watching the Packers, before Jordan Love

442
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: learn how to play football. Five more games, Lions played

443
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: a top half of the league offense. Top half. That's

444
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: a top sixteen. They gave up thirty seven of the Seahawks,

445
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: thirty eight to the Ravens, twenty nine of the Packers,

446
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 4: twenty of the Cowboys, twenty three to the Rams, over

447
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: twenty nine points a game, four n and sixteen yards

448
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 4: a game. They lost every one of those games, except,

449
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: of course, the Rams game in the playoffs, which they

450
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 4: won by one point. Probably should have lost by the

451
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 4: numbers on that one as well, except for some of

452
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 4: the clock management and coaching, et cetera. Down the stretch

453
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 4: last five games. Here's quarterbacks against the Lions that they've played.

454
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 4: My man Nick Mullins four hundred eleven yards Dan three

455
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: ninety six. Two weeks later, Dak put up three forty

456
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: five in the playoffs Stafford three sixty seven, Baker three

457
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: forty nine. That three forty five will higher all five guys,

458
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: by the way, Purty three forty or more plus five

459
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: hundred if you want to get in on a little

460
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 4: long shot prop there. Detroit I think is gonna give

461
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 4: up a lot of passing here. And I don't love

462
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: Detroit's offense playing from behind, but I do love Dan

463
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 4: Campbell playing from behind because what happens. Dan's not gonna

464
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 4: just run the ball and be like, well, we had

465
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: a good season, guys, thanks for playing. We're losing here.

466
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell's gonna start going for him fourth down over

467
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 4: and over again if they fall behind. So if he

468
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: does turnover run downs up forty nineers to get the

469
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: ball in the twenty five three plays layer another touchdown

470
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 4: or a field goal, so we get some short field

471
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 4: scores there. Brockburry's last five games as a starter. Three

472
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 4: games are against Cleveland, Baltimore, Minnesota. Those are swarming defensive pressure,

473
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 4: tough pass defenses. One game he didn't have an arm anymore,

474
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: he lost the ability to throw. The other one's a

475
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: Baltimore game. Niners scored nineteen or less in the five

476
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 4: losses that Perty had he has twenty one wins, they're

477
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: averaging almost thirty three points a game. In those wins,

478
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 4: they've scored at least twenty seven points, and all but

479
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 4: three of his twenty one wins since he got into

480
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: the lineup, they've had a thirty or more that hits

481
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: the over here fifteen of the twenty one. So unless

482
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: you think the Niners lose, I think twenty seven is

483
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: the floor here that we're expecting. And so we get

484
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: the twenty seven and we need extra field goal or touchdown.

485
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: But I like this at twenty eight and a half.

486
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 4: Some books have a twenty nine and a half numbers

487
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: starting to take up. I don't mind it, because I'm

488
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: gonna take the escalator here. You know, I gotta get

489
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: one more escalator in here. Over thirty three and a

490
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 4: half plus two thirty Niners have scored thirty four or

491
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: more five times already this season, and then the highest

492
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: and find forty plus is plus forty seventy. Detroit's allowed

493
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 4: thirty seven three times already. The Niners scored forty two

494
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 4: three times a season, once against the Cowboys, once against

495
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: the Eagles. So like against the teams that are in

496
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 4: the NFC, playoffs that could have been in this game,

497
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 4: said the Lions. I think the Niners score at least

498
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 4: thirty that hits the bat. Here, give me the forty

499
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 4: nine ers over twenty eight and a half team total.

500
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Jesus, I thought you just lay the seven at this

501
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: point for crying out loud, but uh, team total gone.

502
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: Sounds like he's laying the seven, doesn't it it?

503
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: Turres us So, hey, du bundo, so you're next. You

504
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: gotta pick here, You're you're gonna take a side and

505
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: pleads weigh in on the possibility of debo. If Debo's out,

506
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: do we get a seven and a half? I imagine

507
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: he plays too. I think Brandon's on it. He's probably

508
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: gonna play at the very at least he's a decoy.

509
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: But give the other side of it. Why are you

510
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: backing Detroit.

511
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 2: In some fash Has anybody made the other side of it?

512
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: And like, if you listen to other sports media, it

513
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: feels like everybody's just kind of penciled in the San

514
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers into the Super Bowl?

515
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: Look, well, damn it. Give the other side.

516
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, I think this is the most important question. Okay,

517
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 2: and unless Rock Party Rock. Purdy has now played two

518
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: playoff games in his career. I'm not going to count

519
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 2: Philly because he got hurt on the first drive. One

520
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: was in perfectly fine weather. One was in bad weather.

521
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: Everybody kind of rode off last week and said, well,

522
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: the weather was bad and that's why Purdy played poorly.

523
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: He couldn't handle the ring in the conditions.

524
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: Winning drive game winning drive, and he looked.

525
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: Winning drive was solid. Yeah, he had a good, good,

526
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: game winning drive, but he was not good the rest

527
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: of the game and really probably should have lost that

528
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: game multiple times over with some dropped interceptions and mis cues.

529
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: H Green Bay will definitely rue the day that they

530
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 2: didn't win that game. Red zone and drop picks and whatnot,

531
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: but missfield goals. But I really think we're underrating Detroit here.

532
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: I think we've kind of all, like I understand that

533
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: their their past defense is a problem, and like, I

534
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: think that's there's a reason that sar Goes laying seven.

535
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: It's the number one pass offense explosiveness San Francisco against

536
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: the number thirty two pass defense explosiveness. Whether or not

537
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: Debo Goes don't think he's going to be a hundred percent.

538
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: He's always a risk for re injury if he goes.

539
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: I think it may you may see seven and a

540
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: halfs but I thought it was interesting today a popular

541
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: pick group gave out seven on San Francisco. Market went

542
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: to seven and a half and got bought back immediately

543
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: to seven. So I think when you consider the matchup

544
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: here right, the biggest difference is that Detroit can stop

545
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: the run and their number one rush defense DVOA, they

546
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: match up decently well in the trenches here. I think

547
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 2: they can slow down the San Francisco offense. And then

548
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: on the other side, I think Detroit can run the

549
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: ball on San Francisco. And we just saw this game plan.

550
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: We saw Green Bay come out give San Francisco three

551
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: possessions in the first half of that game. Detroit green

552
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: Bay was methodical. They ran the ball effectively, they converted underneath,

553
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: they had long drives. They didn't get enough points out

554
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: of them, but it enabled them to stay competitive in

555
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 2: the game where one or two almost mistakes from Perdy

556
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: almost cost him the game. And I think Detroit can

557
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: capitalize on that and be even better because of their

558
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: run defense holding up better than Green Bays did. Detroit

559
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: has better special team than Green Bay two, So I

560
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: think overall the most overrated unit in this game is

561
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: the San Francisco defense, and Brandon and I have talked

562
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: about it. We talked about it last week. They're twenty

563
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: eighth against the run since Week nine, their bottom ten

564
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: and success rate since week nine, Like the second half

565
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: of the season just hasn't been in great defense. And

566
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: I think the biggest coaching edge in this game favors

567
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: Detroit because I think Ben Johnson agains Steve Wilks is

568
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: a huge advantage for Detroit, and I think the way

569
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 2: that the two coaches are designed to play and coach

570
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: these games, the way that they're wired, helps Detroit stay

571
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: competitive here because Shanahan isn't going to trust his offense enough.

572
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: He's going to be too conservative when obviously the plus

573
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: ev play is going to be to go for it

574
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: because you're facing a bad line secondary. He'll be more

575
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: conservative and he plays to keep games competitive, which is

576
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: not great as a favorite and doesn't do enough to

577
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: extend your talent advantage and Campbell's aggressiveness. I think any

578
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: Lions bet in this game should be accompanied by a

579
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: money Lion sprinkle because the way he coaches games to

580
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: be aggressive could backfire. If you like San Francisco, I

581
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: think you take also think this is a high variance game.

582
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: But I think Detroit is going to be competitive here

583
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: if they're able to get some good fourth down variants

584
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: and if they get you know, a couple of fourth

585
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: down conversions, that's going to just grind the clock out

586
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: and shorten the game to the point where Detroit's gonna

587
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: be really live in this one, despite the obvious advantage

588
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: that San Francisco has through the air. Again, we've all

589
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: assumed that like Goff is gonna be the one that

590
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: melts under pressure, Detroit gets a lot of pressure defensively,

591
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: they're number one in pressure rate, and I think they

592
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 2: can get to this, you know, get to go Party

593
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: and again, like maybe it was the rain and maybe

594
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: Pertty just gonna be a lead again. But Party was

595
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: elite for like two months last year production wise, and

596
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: then stunk in the playoff game against Alas they barely

597
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: survived it. Then he was elite for a couple of

598
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: months and then he kind of stunk in the in

599
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: the playoff game last week, and he wasn't good against

600
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: Baltimore either like there are still downside risk delaying a

601
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: full touchdown in an NFC championship game with but I

602
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 2: still think is the inferior quarterback. So Detroit Detroit Island,

603
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: restore the roar, and hopefully the Lions can pull off

604
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: the unthinkable.

605
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: Rock party to throw an interception over half interception plus

606
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: one h five So that's changed too.

607
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 2: Throw pick last week and he should have thrown about

608
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: two or three.

609
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, fair enough, but I think.

610
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: The favorite this week. That's actually interesting. Yeah, you would

611
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: think the more of the.

612
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 4: Pretty as nine interceptions and four losses this year. You

613
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: guys know I do the every game, every team call

614
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 4: them pretty clearly. I'm leaning Niners in this game, even

615
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 4: though I didn't take officially aside here. I think my

616
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 4: Lion's pick is going to be if you want to

617
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: play the Lions, I think pretty interception is the way

618
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: to go. And three of the four losses this year

619
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 4: he's had interceptions, so yeah, I don't. You usually can't

620
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: parlay the interception with the team result that the books

621
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: are wise to that, but over one I had two

622
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 4: perceptions around even odds. But some books do have the

623
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: the interceptions escalator there's a plus five hundred for multiple

624
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: interceptions for party. I think that's the most likely path

625
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: is the Detroit run script, and then Purty starts to

626
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: force in, gets a few mistakes there.

627
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gathering the book. We need san Fran to

628
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: win in Detroit to cover that is what this is

629
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: feeling like the stage. Okay, Grant, you gotta break this tie.

630
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: A lot of san Fran love and then we got

631
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: some Detroit love. Where do you stand your last pick

632
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: for these uh these games? NFC title game?

633
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I love Detroit strangely enough. Minds a

634
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: Detroit under and it's Jared goff under two sixty and

635
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: a half passing yards, and we know the entire script.

636
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: We know the reason why I'm Vegas like the home broke,

637
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: not even the home roads, but the dome outdoors splits.

638
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: For GoF, I've been pretty drastic, especially since it's been

639
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: over in Detroit. I mean, we look back to twenty

640
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: twenty one, his first season there, two thirty seven in

641
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: a dome, two eighteen passing yards outdoors. Next year it

642
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: was two seventy five in a dome, and it was

643
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: two forty three outdoors. This year it's two seventy six

644
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: and two fifty five. Like every single year when we

645
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: consistently see this, Gough is much better in a home

646
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: and this year we don't really have a huge sample

647
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: size five games outdoor golf, like played multiple games on

648
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: the road in dome.

649
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: The Lions have played one road game in their last

650
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: like thirteen weeks, twelve weeks something like that, and it

651
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: was the Chicago game. Think more than one road game,

652
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: road game outdoor, I meant outdoor road.

653
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: Sorry, they played at Minnesota, they played at Dallas, Yeah,

654
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: pardon me, outdoor.

655
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: Real New Orleans. Yeah, No, they've been in Dome. So

656
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: first of all, he's out of practice playing the way,

657
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: but he's hit the under. So he's played I think

658
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: ten games outside of a dome since beginning of last season,

659
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: hit the under in seven of those. Going back in

660
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: one more season, I think it's like four and fourteen

661
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: or five and fourteen. So he's hitting the under at

662
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: a massive clip for this number on the outdoors. And

663
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: then we look at the potential game script. I get

664
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: the Niners being seven point favorites, but Detroit neutral game

665
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: situations being playing from behind whatever it is they're going

666
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: to run the ball still a decent amount. We put

667
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: look at situation, neutral pass play percentage. Detroit's way below

668
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: everyone else. Like it doesn't matter what's going to what

669
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: the game script is gonna be, They're still gonna run

670
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: the ball a decent amount. Matchup, San Francisco won the

671
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: better pass defenses in the league, won the best we

672
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 3: just talked about the last nine weeks. San Francisco near

673
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: the bottom in terms of run defense. Like they have Gibbs,

674
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 3: they have Montgomery, They're going to run the ball a lot.

675
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell will exploit that they're gonna run the ball

676
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: a ton. Jared Goff being outdoors, I still think he's fine,

677
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: Like I still think he's a good player out doors,

678
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: But they're going to be running the ball a ton.

679
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: It's just not enough volume to justify and over at

680
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: this number. And I get he's been fantastic this season.

681
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: I get in the playoffs he has two eighty seven

682
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: and two seventy seven passing yards in those two games,

683
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: both which we're gonna Dome, both which are at home.

684
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: We've seen Detroit at home put up massive numbers every

685
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: single time. This is on the road. I'm against Brandon

686
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: here I like Detroit. I'm with Dubundo. I'm also I

687
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: also like the under in this game, both of them.

688
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: I think, are people just blowing out out of abortion

689
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: now good San Francisco's offenses in Detroit being in huge

690
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: game scripts. But this is going to be very very

691
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: different situation playing outside of a dome with Detroit and

692
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: San Francisco having to rely heavily on the pass. I mean, Purdy,

693
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: he's been good this season, don't get me wrong, but

694
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: he is a little bit of a game manager. Like

695
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: that's the entire way this offense is set up. Not

696
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: to say he's a bad quarterback, not to say he

697
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: couldn't thrive in a different situation. This is also his

698
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: second year in the league. Like he came out of college.

699
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 3: There's a reason why he was a seventh round draft pick.

700
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 3: He's a good quarterback, don't get me wrong, But he

701
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: also has the ability to Ryn McCaffrey, Kittle, Ayuk and

702
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: Samuel Like he has one of the best coaches in

703
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: the league, probably the best weapons in the league. He

704
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 3: hasn't been relied on to win games that often, and

705
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: this is a spot where I could see Detroit getting

706
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: up here a little bit Perdy having to do most

707
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: of the stuff because they're not going to be able

708
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: to just run the ball down Detroit's throughout the entire time.

709
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: So I'm more on the Detroit side a lot. I'm

710
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: more on the under a lot. I think this is

711
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: going to be a ground and pound game for the

712
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: Detroit side of things. I think this is going to

713
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 3: be a close game, and I think there's a decent

714
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: chance that the Lions end up winning this one.

715
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: Well, the biggest thing for Detroit is like, Okay, yes,

716
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: they have not been a good defense. They have tightened

717
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: up in the red zone though, because their run defense

718
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: is so good and their secondary gets less exposed in

719
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: those situations. I think there is something to that. And

720
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: of course, like red zone small samples are kind of noisy,

721
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: But I think there's a world where you know, San

722
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Francisco may move the ball, and they're surely going to

723
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: move the ball. They move ball on everybody, even the

724
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: Baltimore game they had six yards for play. But when

725
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: they get down to the red zone, like, there's gonna

726
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: be situations where they should go for it, and maybe

727
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: they don't. Maybe Shanahan kind of blinks a little bit

728
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: and kicks field goals and that keeps Detroit in this game.

729
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: That's what I think it's going to happen.

730
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: And who's going to go for it every single time?

731
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: MotorCity Dan Campbell.

732
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially against a bad run defense like we could see.

733
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: We're not used to it too often. I mean outside

734
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: Baltimore game. But Detroit could control time of possession in

735
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: this game, which is a weird thing. You should against

736
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: San Francisco, all right.

737
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I double checked it. One of their life twelve outside

738
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Jared Goff won sixty one through the air,

739
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: they ran the ball twenty four times, Gibbs and Montgomery

740
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: sixty six yards apiece on the ground. This podcast is

748
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: have some fun to wrap it up, some potential Super

749
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Bowl look ahead picks, so full disclosure, some of these

750
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: that these guys give out. You can bet these now.

751
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't play out, the BET's void. If

752
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: the matchup doesn't happen. In some cases that each of

753
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: the guys are going to weigh in with one. So

754
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: for example, Brandon, you're going to play an angle. Which

755
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: this is kind of funny because if Detroit does win,

756
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: this sets up for you to maybe get a good

757
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: number on the team they play.

758
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, if we get a Ravens Lions super Bowl, that

759
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 4: for me. I have two articles up this week, one

760
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: with the Bundo Ones on my own, I ranked the

761
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 4: super Bowls in order of just how fun are they?

762
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 4: Ravens lines, to me is my lowest fun because it

763
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 4: is my most confident in bet, and I would be

764
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 4: all over the Ravens. So I want to love the

765
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 4: Ravens Mines three and a half right now, especially because

766
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 4: I don't think the lines are gonna get there anyway clearly,

767
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 4: but that bet just gets avoided otherwise. This is the

768
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: one matchup that I just don't think is super competitive.

769
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: Lamar not my MVP, but sure played like it when

770
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: they play the Lions in Week seven, the game was

771
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 4: over halfway through the second quarters, twenty eight nothing. The

772
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 4: Ravens drove four times for touchdowns, the Lions went three

773
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: and out three times in between. It's thirty two plays,

774
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: three hundred and twenty three yards at that point to

775
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: thirteen Detroit yards. Lamar has three fifty seven, three touchdowns

776
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 4: and a running touchdown. Perfect game. Basically. Baltimore's defense also

777
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: had a huge game. Their actual MVP. The Lions offense

778
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 4: cruising early, got totally shut down. Jared Goff got sacked

779
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 4: five times. Jared Goff has an interception. They go seven

780
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 4: of twenty two on third and fourth downs, so gonna

781
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 4: get a lot of that aggression coming back here. I

782
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 4: just think it's not outdoors, but Jared Goff against Mike

783
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: McDonald's defense, No way am I backing that side in

784
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. Like that's really all I need to

785
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 4: know is Jared Goff against Mike McDonald and all that

786
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 4: defense there. So you heard the case earlier about Detroit

787
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: defense against top offenses. Baltimore is not San fran But

788
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 4: I think they can get some points to first game

789
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 4: ended thirty eight to six. I don't think we're going

790
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 4: to thirty eight to six, so it's obviously gonna be

791
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 4: closer to that. But I honestly think this line should

792
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 4: be closer to a touchdown than a field goal. It's

793
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: already starting to take up at some books, even as

794
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 4: a hypothetical line. I've seen a four and a half

795
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 4: at some books, so I wouldn't be too surprised. Four

796
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: and a half. Five five and a half is kind

797
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 4: of the dead zone if it's moving that way anyways,

798
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 4: Could this get to five and a half or six?

799
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 4: That's where I think it should be. So I'm looking

800
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 4: for the closing line value as usual. So give me

801
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: the minus three and a half and get in before

802
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 4: the four if you can at your book. And you know,

803
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 4: I hope we don't get it, because I don't think

804
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 4: it'll be a fun super Bowl. I think the Ravens

805
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 4: will roll, but we may as well make some early

806
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: money and if we can.

807
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: And again to be very clear, I asked this question

808
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: before we record it because even I was unsure you

809
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: can bet this now and if neither of these teams

810
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: are in this Super Bowl. So if it's Kansas City

811
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: in Detroit or Baltimore and San Francisco, the bet voids. Yes,

812
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: it's very clear, so dubundo similar boat, but going to

813
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: a total. The rebatch from Christmas Day San Francisco Baltimore

814
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: is where you're targeting something.

815
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: Ravens Lions is Brandon's worst nightmare because he you know,

816
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: he's been in so anti Lamar and hates the Lions apparently.

817
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 2: But I love the over again in Ravens Niners. If

818
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: we get it again close forty seven and a half

819
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: on the grass and Santa Clara outdoors, it would be

820
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 2: forty seven and a half indoors according to the current

821
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: number at Vegas. I don't agree with that it should

822
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: be a full point higher. These two teams played that game.

823
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: I bet the over that day. I said both offense

824
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: are gonna be able to move the ball. The Niners

825
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: defense remains overvalued. And even though San Francisco only got

826
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 2: to nineteen points, they had six point three yards per

827
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: play and over three hundred and fifty yards offense, they

828
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: just had two red zone interceptions and another one in

829
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: plus territory. So all of the turnovers that happened you know,

830
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: dramatically changed the outcome of the final score, which by

831
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 2: the way, still went over and went to fifty two.

832
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: So I really think the total would be too low

833
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: given the quality of the offenses at forty seven and

834
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 2: a half. So I know it's Vinovich and he's a

835
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: notorious under ref doesn't call a lot of flags, but

836
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: I think the over is the play there. If we

837
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: get the Chalky super Bowl and one of the fun things,

838
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 2: if we do get Ravens Lions, like, yes, we all

839
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 2: watched that game happen, but there's always a counter. So

840
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 2: I'd be interest to see with Detroit do to must

841
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 2: drop a counter to the Baltimore domination in the first meeting.

842
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 5: Great Grant ne for what do you have for us,

843
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: I'm I'm I'm going with the lowest juiced bet on

844
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 5: the board generally which you know always line shop but

845
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 5: generally can find the juice around minus one O two,

846
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 5: minus one O three.

847
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 3: I'm going heads. It's been it's been a weird last

848
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 3: decade in terms of the coin flip. We've we've had

849
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: a lot of streaks four four or five heads in

850
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: a row, four tails in a row, than heads, then

851
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: two tails, two heads, and you think since it was

852
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: tails last year, it's gonna be tails again this year. No,

853
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 3: it's gonna be heads this year. I think that's what

854
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 3: I'm going with. It's one of my favorite bets. Every

855
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 3: single super Bowl, I generally know how my day is

856
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: gonna go after the coin flip outside of last year

857
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 3: went heads again and lost it and still ended up

858
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: making a boatload of money on the Super Bowl. But

859
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: it's it's I think I have my lean towards heads

860
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: here and I'm really liking.

861
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Keep an eye out for more props like

862
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,360

863

864
