1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: Straight firefam? It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Wed's Day,

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: October the second. I'm still looking for a good Halloween costume.

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: The wife has had some ideas. We try to do

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: a joint thing, you know, but I don't know. I

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: told the wife listen. I got only a few more

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: years of trying to look as good as I can.

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: I need to be flexing the guns on Halloween. Enter

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: laugh from all my dad friends who are watching or

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: listening to this. No YouTube video for this one, and

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: know that I have in my back pocket the Cobra

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: Kai outfit. I don't mind rocking that on Halloween. It

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: is sleeveless but quick programming. Note. Did not watch any

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: of the VP debate. Sorry missed it. I'm sure it

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: was thrilling and scintillating and a lot of people change

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: their vote based on the VP debate. No, obviously not.

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: I just we got like thirty days to the election

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: something like that. It can't get here soon enough. You know.

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: The NFL season has been good to me. The gambling

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: has been very good. The contest after Monday Night's results,

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: you know, there's like I think fifty four hundred people

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: I'm tied for like three hundred and forty six. Doesn't

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: get me paid. But the five and oh two weeks

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: ago really good. Sparked my interest. So I'm breaking down

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: the games. And to help with that, we got my

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: main man, Ta on the pod. Been talking to him.

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: It's weird, you know, he's been coming on. He was

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: coming on my radio show. I had a Saturday morning

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: radio show for many years, and I've probably I've never

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: met Ta, but I've talked to him online and on

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: podcasts now and on the radio probably for close to

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: eighty nine years. Sinsane. Never met the guy, but he's sharp.

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: He's still alive in Survivor. He entered the Circus Survivor.

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: I just did the Circa five picks a week contest,

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: so like fourteen thousand people entered. He's one of four

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: hundred something left. So you're one thousand dollars buy in

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: is now worth an estimated twenty nine thousand, which is

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: not a bad ROI and we talk about Survivor, we

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: talk about games this week. We both like the Browns.

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: I like the Jets. We will see if he gets

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: on board. With the Jets. But it's a fun NFL

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: talk now. As we were recording on Tuesday, all this

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: news broke. Von Miller got suspended, Davante Adams has requested

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: a trade, and I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: not totally buying this Jets Davante Adams. Sure the Jets

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 2: could use him, but they got to figure out this

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: has on Reddick thing. You know, I know the offense

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: lookedn'n em it, but you don't wannat you guys don't

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: buy low sell high. The Jets right now offense looks horrible,

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: so the Raiders will have him over a barrel. Well,

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: this team's gonna give us this, that and the other.

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: You guys desperate, give us a lot. You have Aaron Rodgers,

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: j Jets are gonna get used here. Undeniably. You're gonna

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: hear the Jets, Jets, Jets and Adams, and it's probably

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: a smoke screen because they're using the Jets to get

56
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: leverage and get more picks from some one else. Now,

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: I think, and I've been saying this for years now

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: to the faithful listeners, that a quarterback on the rookie

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: deal is when you want to go overpay for a

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: wide receiver. And the Washington Commanders right now, folks make

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: a shit ton of sense. Think about it like this. CJ.

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 2: Stroud has a good rookie year. What do the Texans

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: go do? Hey, let's go grab Stefan Diggs. Go back

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: to Josh Allen's early years of the Buffalo Bills. They

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: went and got Stefan Diggs to help their young their

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: young quarterback go to even go to Patrick Mahomes. They

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: went out and got who was the burner, Sammy, Oh

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: my gosh, I'm space it, Sammy Watkins. I believe from Clemson,

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: any team with a quarterback on the rookie deal, I

70
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: can identify good quality wide receivers and go get them

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: because it doesn't totally matter since your quarterback is cheap.

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, the Washington Commanders make a really really

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: good connection with DeVante Adams. Raiders have won't have beef

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: trading him, right, You're trading to the NFC as opposed

75
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs who are desperate and could use him.

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: And I still think that makes sense. But are the

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: Raiders doing that now? There is a world where they

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: just shut down Adams until right up to the deadline

79
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 2: where the Chiefs. Then I think they played the Chiefs

80
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: yet they haven't even played the Chiefs yet. You don't

81
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: want to face DeVante Adams. You know, Patrick Mahomes and

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: Adams are gonna would force feed him and embarrass the Raiders.

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: You don't need that, So my guess is they'll hold

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: that as long as they can before shipping him to

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I mean, there's Buffalo, Bills makes some sense.

86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 2: I think Allan's expensive, but I don't know. Buffalo doesn't

87
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: have a stretch the field. Guy Keon Coleman is a

88
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: solid rookie, but he's not there yet. Besides Washington, the

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: other team makes a lot of sense as Detroit. But

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: we get into it talking about it with Ta, and

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: I think you guys are gonna like this without further ado,

92
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: Let's get to him, clev Ta, mister Ohio State, Mister

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns.

94
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,680

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: he knows everything when it comes to sports. I know

99
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: what sports dance wants, but for everything he doesn't. He

100
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: knows the guy who does.

101
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a

102
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: guy who knows another guy.

103
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's welcome back into straight fire. You know

104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: him at this point, Ta, he's by request, He's doing

105
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: all these other shows and podcasts. He's got his booming website.

106
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: But perhaps most interesting is TA is somehow still alive

107
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: in like I think it's a six million dollars survivor

108
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: contest in Vegas.

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: Fourteen fourteen million, fourteen millionaires. Oh my god, fourteen thousand

110
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: entrants thousand.

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: Dollars, and how many are left?

112
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: It's like four it's like four fifty something like that ballpark.

113
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: Oh wow, so TA is cooking. I this is my

114
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: worst year ever in Survivor. I was out by week two.

115
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: I didn't do buyback or any of that crap. I

116
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, you know, how do you feel?

117
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: Because you can, according to your contest, a circus survivor,

118
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: you could theoretically catch out right now for something like

119
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: thirty thousand dollars, right, yeah.

120
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: The theoretical value based on a winner take all pot

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: and how many entrants are left is about twenty nine

122
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: thirty thousand dollars, and so there I was talking before

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: we went on. There's a website called survivor Sweat that

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: is kind of a marketplace for people that want to

125
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: buy and sell pieces of their entry and monetize some

126
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: of their you know, some of their entry value. And

127
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 3: you know, obviously now it might be a little early,

128
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: but you know, you as you get to move along

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: and you get down to you know, real big chunks

130
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: of money, you know, it becomes tempting to sell a

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: piece of your or all of your your entry. So

132
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: it's something I have to consider. But I'm just trying

133
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: to get through the weeks. And it's a crazy that

134
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 3: we're even thinking about this. It's only four weeks in

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: and are already down from fourteen thousand to four fifties,

136
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: So that's pretty fun.

137
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: Are people able to see what teams you've used in who.

138
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: You had left?

139
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is part of the thing. So you know,

140
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: you can click on when you go in there, you

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: can see everyone's entry that's willing to sell, and you

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: can click and see who they've used already. So obviously

143
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: there's a lot of game theory and strategy, so I've

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: so far, I've used Minnesota, Houston, the Jets, and I

145
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: just used San Francisco last week, So you know, use

146
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: some pretty good teams, but I also have some good

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: teams remaining this week. Seattle is going to be a

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: really pop Seattle in San Francisco are the two most

149
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: popular plays because they're the two largest favorites, and so

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: if you're looking to get in, you probably want to

151
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: find an entry that still has one or both of

152
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: those teams remaining as an entry. So that's where it

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: gets from an investor point of view looking at things

154
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: like that. Then also, you know, this is the way

155
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: Circus Survivor works. It's a twenty week contest. It's eighteen

156
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 3: NFL regular season weeks, and then it's the two holiday weeks,

157
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: so it's Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks are a standalone. You

158
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: have to find one team in each of those weeks,

159
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: but there's only you know, three three games in each

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: of those days, and so it makes it really difficult.

161
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: So you have to hold back good teams as well

162
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: for those games. So you know, I still have Kansas City,

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: who's going to be an option in both you know,

164
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: so Dallas who could be an option on Thanksgiving versus

165
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: the Giants, So all of those things. If you know

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: you're looking to sell or buy an entry, considering you

167
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: know who these entrants have left going forward is a

168
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: big factor.

169
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: Would you consider the Bears this week? They are three

170
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: and a half four at home against Carolina. Not a

171
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: lot of big spreads. I think there's been one double

172
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: digit spread this season. Nine ers they covered, but the

173
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: dogs of I think under it's like between five and

174
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: five or more were running super hot earlier this season.

175
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Bears are an interesting one this week.

176
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: I I'll tell you my theory in a second, but

177
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: go ahead.

178
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, honestly, it's the only Tuesday. So I'm like,

179
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: I haven't mapped it all out, you know, on my

180
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: website and you're a subscriber. I do have a Survivor

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: tool that you can optimize kind of your path based

182
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: on just only based on when probability, nothing else. Now,

183
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: the problem with you know, survivor not a problem, but

184
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: part of it is it's half kind of quantitative and

185
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: call dative. Do you want to know what the win

186
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: probabilities are in an optimal path, but then you also

187
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: want to know it's game theory, who everybody else is taking,

188
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: who are the more popular teams? What you need to

189
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: hold back and save, you know, in terms of future value.

190
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: So there's all those sorts of things which are interesting.

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, the Bears are you know in that list,

192
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: I've already used San Francisco. You know, Seattle would be next,

193
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: that'd be one that's high on my list. Likely there

194
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: are I think six six and a half point favorites

195
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: versus the Giants. Yeah, and then it starts to get

196
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: into that you know, hey, it's a two or three

197
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: or four point favorite, and do you really want to

198
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 3: back you know, Caleb Williams with my life on the line.

199
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: I know Carolina is not good, but you know they're

200
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: feisty with Andy Dalton. And so that's where it gets

201
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: it gets interesting, is is you know, do you want

202
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: to put your entire survivor life on a team like that?

203
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's something I have to weigh. So I

204
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 3: haven't gotten to that point still. Early I got to

205
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: see injury reports and all those sorts of things, but

206
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 3: definitely it's it's among the group of teams that I

207
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: would consider.

208
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I've told people your pite Cleve

209
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: Analytics is amazing and I'm sure you can track how

210
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: many times people visit. I'm on there multiple times a

211
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: day because I love your write up. So a lot

212
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: of people are like, oh, just give me the picks

213
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: those guys, I don't like that. I like your write ups.

214
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: Now I don't always agree with you, And for instance,

215
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: last week, I think you had Jags right. You like them,

216
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: and I bet them, but I didn't put them in

217
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: the contest, obviously regrettable, and instead I went with Atlanta,

218
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: those choke artists who I knew would screw me and

219
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: they did. But like I like your breakdowns, it is

220
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: early in the week, but I'm curious ta. I just

221
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: this is like a basic starting point for me that

222
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: I've done the last couple of years, where you look

223
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: at teams that are playing and they last week teams

224
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: that did not cover versus teams that did cover, And

225
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: often I found that the line is skewed because of

226
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: the public perception. Like Washington after that game against Cincinnati

227
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: where they covered one national product, we knew that they

228
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: were going to be an interesting spot against Arizona. I

229
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: was on Arizona in the contest. They got their doors

230
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: blown off, but I'm looking again at Washington. This week

231
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 2: they're facing the Browns. The Browns did not cover last week,

232
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: and that's one of the games that I have there

233
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: is I think seven of them this week teams that

234
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: did coververs did not. And that line just doesn't make sense.

235
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: I saw someone reference that in the I guess in

236
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: the summer they list lines for games, and this was

237
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: like Browns minus four and a half or something, and

238
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: now Washington's favorite by three and a half. And that's

239
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: just a game I had to bet early. I am curious, though,

240
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: you're mister Cleveland. The injuries are brutal on this offensive line.

241
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. So you highlighted the preseason number. It

242
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: might have been from my write up that it's closed

243
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 3: this morning because I'm on the Browns, and so I

244
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: just wrote, you know, I do this NFL preview. I

245
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: came on here and we could talk about that. But

246
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 3: you know, I put together this preview and I've got,

247
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, my predictions and all of that, and I

248
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: have my own ratings, and I run through the schedule

249
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: and kind of simulate a season. I had Browns minus

250
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: five before the season. Now, obviously things have changed, and

251
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: Washington's way better and Jaden Daniels is awesome, and that

252
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: offense is awesome, and they're and teams out good teams,

253
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: and you know now that line I think going in

254
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: the last week, the line was just like a pickup

255
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: or one point either way. It wasn't it wasn't a

256
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: big difference. And now it's three and a half with

257
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: Washington favored. And so you get that where you get

258
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: these upstart teams that you know, blow away expectations and

259
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: they're way better than you know, what our prior thoughts

260
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: were on these teams, and there's a huge market adjustment.

261
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: You got to be careful because look ahead lines, people

262
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: reference those all the time. They're very ill liquid markets.

263
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: You can't really bet a lot of money into them,

264
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: so it's not as you know, efficient as the current line.

265
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: So but it's just it's interesting to note that and

266
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: just to see the shift in market perception on these teams.

267
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: And that's what we saw last week with Jacksonville and Houston.

268
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: I think that that line prior to the Buffalo Jacksonville

269
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: game was like three and a half or four, and

270
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: then it reopened and shot all the way up to seven.

271
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: And I bet seven, and I you know, wrote that

272
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: up on the site and did a whole breakdown, and

273
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: so I know a lot of my subscribers took it

274
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: also when it was at seven, it ended up closing

275
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: like five and a half or six, and they covered

276
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: and they should have likely should have won that game.

277
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: But you know, you get these overreactions and you just

278
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: have to step back, and you can't just blindly take

279
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 3: the overreaction, but you have to have some fundamentals behind it.

280
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: And so in a situation like this, I think that

281
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 3: the Browns are a good play at three and a half,

282
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: you know, at a little less. So at three maybe

283
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: if you're not paying a lot of juice, if it's

284
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: you know, plus one hundred plus one oh five, it's

285
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: probably okay. But I think this will end up closing

286
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 3: at three. I think a lot of people are thinking

287
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: about it the same way. So the Browns, I've obviously

288
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: struggled offensive line, tons of issues. They may or may

289
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: not get back one of their left tackles this week. It's,

290
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: you know, between Jedrick Wills and Jack Conklin who've been out.

291
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: Jedrick Wills only played one game. Conklin's missed the whole

292
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: season so far. They really need to solidify the left

293
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: side of that line. They lost their center Ethan Posk

294
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 3: during the game against the Raiders. He may or may

295
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: not play, so those obviously will help. And I think

296
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: the three and a half reflects kind of the worst

297
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: case scenario that none of those guys play, and so

298
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 3: any sort of positive news I think would would be helpful.

299
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: From that regard. They may get David and Joku back.

300
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: Their tight end who's pretty explosive, can add a different element.

301
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: And look, you're going up against the Washington defense that Yeah,

302
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: they played well last week against Arizona, but this is

303
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: one of the worst defenses in the NFL. You know,

304
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: they have one of the worst second years in the NFL,

305
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: the worst pass defense. A lot of metrics are having them.

306
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: You know, we're thirty second, thirty first in the league.

307
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: You can move the ball on them. And Deshaun Watson,

308
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: for all the angst about him, was actually pretty good.

309
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: If you watch that game last week, he was pretty solid.

310
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: There was a huge drop by Amari Cooper deep into

311
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: the Raiders territory that would have been you know, first

312
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: down at the twenty yard line. Instaid, it pops off

313
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: off his chest and gets returned for interception. You have

314
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: the eighty three yard touchdown throw to Cooper that was

315
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: a great play by by Watson to get out of

316
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: the pocket and find him down the field that gets

317
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: called back for a very questionable holding call by the center.

318
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: And so those are there this close to you know,

319
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: potentially winning that game and maybe winning by a significant margin.

320
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: Instead they lose, and and you know, the perception is

321
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: pretty negative on them. I thought he played fine. If

322
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: he plays like that again and you get some of

323
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: those lucky breaks to go the Browns away instead, I

324
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: think they can win this game out right. So I

325
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: just think, and it's just Jayden Daniels has face has

326
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: been awesome, but he's faced a really easy schedule of

327
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: opposing defenses, maybe three of the worst defenses the NFL

328
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: last few weeks. And look, he's passed the test with

329
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: flying Colors, but this is a major step up going

330
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: against this Browns defense. Is coulda be aggressive that as

331
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: a real pass rush in a real secondary. So it's

332
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: gonna be a great test for Daniels and for the Browns.

333
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: And I just think getting points, getting three and a

334
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: half is a good number here for the Browns like that.

335
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, you do a thing on one

336
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: score games. Everybody looks at that in the offseason, and

337
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: everybody's waiting for Pittsburgh to regress. I think it's three

338
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: straight years of one score results. Let me just throw

339
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: one at you. That's interesting. The Kansas City Chiefs are

340
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: four and oh. They beat the Ravens by seven by

341
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: a toe. They get lucky against the Bengals and win

342
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: by one. They get real lucky in the finals six

343
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: minutes against the Falcons, win by five, and they have

344
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: to rally to beat the Chargers by seven. So they're

345
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: four to zero win one score games. They now are

346
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: without Hollywood Brown for the season, for Checko for a while,

347
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: and Rashid Rice. It feels like probably the regular season.

348
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: Ta is there a world where this Kansas City Chiefs

349
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: team relying solely on Mahomes? I mean they tried Carson

350
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: Steele at running back. He fumbles back to back weeks.

351
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, let's put kree Mount in. There is

352
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: there a world to miss the playoffs Kansas City chief

353
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: or or to make the playoffs. They're minus ten thousand,

354
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: but no is plus two thousand. Is this flushing money

355
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: or can you envision a scenario orre with no weapons?

356
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: Regression in one score games, the defense has been good,

357
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: not amazing. Is there a war where they miss the playoffs? No, damnity,

358
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: this great thing worked up.

359
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: Wait, look look at their division. Who are they going

360
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: to lose to in division between the Chargers, the Denver

361
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: and Las Vegas. You know, that's five more games against

362
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: teams that you should go at work four and one against.

363
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: And so right there, you've got eight wins, Like it

364
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: doesn't take much for them to get into the playoffs.

365
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: And so you know that's really the question for me.

366
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: You know, they got Carolina that they still play. You know,

367
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: they've got Pittsburgh the Browns, Like they've got very winnable games.

368
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: Look the thing about one score games. I'm looking back

369
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 3: at my preview now because I talk about kind of

370
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: the quote unquote luck factors with each of these teams.

371
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: You know, they went six and five last year in

372
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: one score games in the regular season. That's six straight

373
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: seasons that they've finished over five hundred in close games.

374
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: And you know, typically, you know I talk about you

375
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: should see some regression and regression till about fifty to fifty, right,

376
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: But when you also consider that you've got, you know,

377
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: one of the best quarterbacks we've ever seen. You've got

378
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame coach, and you have a clutch kicker.

379
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 3: You know, say what you will about Bucker off the field,

380
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: but he is an amazing kicker and he just doesn't

381
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: miss in the clutch. You've got all of those things,

382
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna win a lot of those close games more

383
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: often than not versus like your your average team. So yeah,

384
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I do think the fact that

385
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: they play with their food a little bit, and they'll

386
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: you know, they might have a stretch sometime this year

387
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: like last year, well you know, maybe they lose three

388
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: out of four or something like that, but they'll, you know,

389
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done, they're going to make

390
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: the playoffs. They're going to turn around when they need to.

391
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: You know, they've got a really good defense. Still, you've

392
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: got the great quarterback of Mahomes. I think they're going

393
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: to make a trade for a receiver, maybe Amari Cooper

394
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: is Mary Cocher. Yeah, that's a potential option with the Browns.

395
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: You know, Browns have the toughest remaining schedule in the

396
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: NFL like they they're not they're not going to make

397
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs. That's he's a free agent at the end

398
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: of the year. I think he's an option. You know,

399
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: I talked about DeVante Adams. Maybe not the Raider, you know,

400
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: maybe the Raiders don't want to trade within the division,

401
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 3: but he's thirty two years old. He's not he's not

402
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: there for the long term. I think you got to

403
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: get something for him. He makes a lot of money.

404
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 3: That's a potential option. I think that they can. You know,

405
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins is another guy. I think if they can

406
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: add a receiver like that, who can at least give

407
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: them some stability to go with Xavier Worthy. You know,

408
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: you know, Kelsey's gonna have to step it up here.

409
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: I think they'll be fine. They've got a good enough defense.

410
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: This is not like the Mahomes Chiefs of three or

411
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: four years ago, where they had one of the worst

412
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: defenses of the NFL and you got to score thirty

413
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: points every game. They've got a legit top five to

414
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: ten defense that they can lean on, even like last

415
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: week's game. So yeah, I don't I understand the idea,

416
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: but it's just when you had a head start like

417
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: this and you're playing a division like you know, the

418
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: AFC West, which is the worst, probably the worst of

419
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: the NFL outside of the Chiefs, or one of the worst.

420
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 2: It's really hard some nice I just figured Pete to

421
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: throw twenty bucks on it if Mahome should go down.

422
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: You're feeling great, Not that I'm rooting for anybody. Okay,

423
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: let's go to another go Oh. Your great call in

424
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: the offseason was the Vikings. They've been tremendous. You could

425
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: argue best coach team in the NFC, maybe the NFL,

426
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: although Spags and Reid are unsurpassed. But I'm looking to

427
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 2: bet the Jets this week if I can get that three.

428
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: I see two and a half everywhere. I think the

429
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: Jets were minus two and a half and now it's

430
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: they're two and a half point dogs. I know it's

431
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: not through a key number, but still, I feel like

432
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: the Jets bouncing back against the Vikings, who everybody loves

433
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: now feels like a good bet.

434
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean we talked about on the

435
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 3: show before the season started. Vikings were my sleeper of

436
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: the NFC. I had them winning ten games and I

437
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 3: have them. You know you're a subscriber to the site.

438
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: I have like a future section where I talked about

439
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: the win total going over the alternate win total to

440
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. I didn't do wind division because I thought,

441
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: you know, it was a little bit too much exposure.

442
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: But you know that's obviously potentially out there. And I

443
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 3: had Kevin O'Connell and I posted this, you know, in

444
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 3: my preview and you know, for subscribers, twenty five to

445
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: one to win Coach of the Year. I just saw

446
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 3: this morning. He's plus one hundred. He's a huge favorite

447
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: right now. So you know things are going well, knock

448
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 3: on wood. But at any time, you know, Sam Darnald

449
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: can just kind of go back to where you know,

450
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: you're pumpkin Sam Donald and he's throwing interceptions. You know,

451
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 3: he hasn't been It's funny. He's kind of the one

452
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: of the top leaders of MVP and he's been great

453
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 3: for what you expected. But if you look at some

454
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: of his graining in some of his throws, like he

455
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: does have a lot of turnover worthy sort of throws

456
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 3: that's he's gotten lucky with. He could have a few

457
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: more interceptions and he has but you know, I'm not

458
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: gonna take that away from him. He's been awesome and

459
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: they're coming. They're going out to these huge leads and

460
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: then just you know, unleashing the dogs on defense with

461
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 3: this you know, cover zero blitzing that Brian Flores does.

462
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 3: He's awesome. And one of the reasons, probably the biggest

463
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: reason why I liked the Minnesota going into the year

464
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: as a sleeper is the coaching staff. Like you mentioned,

465
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: koc is a great offensive mind. We saw what he

466
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: did with guys like Josh Stobbs and Nick Mullins last year.

467
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: You know, he held he kept that team afloat. They

468
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: were winning some games and then it you know, collapsed

469
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: at the end. But I figured, if he could do

470
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: that with those guys, you bring a much more talent,

471
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 3: you know, a much much more talented quarterback and the

472
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: guy like Sam Darnold. You still have justin Jefferson. You've

473
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: got a top ten offensive line, and you have a

474
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: good running back. I thought the acquisition of Aaron Jones

475
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: was awesome. I think he adds a lot in that perspective.

476
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: And then you add Brian Flores, like you've got the

477
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: ingredients to at least at worst, I thought would be

478
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: competitive and win eight to ten games, and you know

479
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: they've been much better than that. I actually agree with you.

480
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: I thought last week was going to be the week

481
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: where you know, then come down to Earth and the

482
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 3: Packers would have won that game. But I was surprised

483
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: as well that they came out and blitzed Green Bay

484
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: from the very beginning and confused him. I don't I

485
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: want to see how Aaron Rodgers does against those blitz

486
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: He struggled badly against the Broncos, who blitzed a lot.

487
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: They're one of the highest blitz britz blitz packages and

488
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: rates of the NFL, and Brian Flores is always at

489
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: the top. So I'm curious to see if they're going

490
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: to make any adjustments. The one thing that the Jets

491
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: do that Aaron Rodgers has always done with Hackett as

492
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: an OC, they play very slow, very deliberate. They take

493
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: He takes the clock down all the time to the

494
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 3: very end. So as a defense, you can time that

495
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: and you can get in from a blitz perspective because

496
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: you know exactly when they have to snap it, and

497
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 3: so they're gonna have to change that cadence. They're gonna

498
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: Maybe I could see them going no huddle a little

499
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: bit or going quicker. That's something that I think to

500
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: keep the defense a little bit on their heels. And

501
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: who knows. With this ankle injury, and now to go

502
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 3: with the Achilles issue, I mean, he can't really move,

503
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: so he's going to be sitting duck there. If they don't,

504
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: I'll switch things up and go quick. Now, the good

505
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: news is the last two weeks, you know, Garrett Wilson

506
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: has been shut down by Patrick certain and Christian Gonzales.

507
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 3: You don't have that on the side or the Vikings,

508
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 3: so I think you can get some quick separation from him.

509
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: So look for him to have a big game. And

510
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: you know, if I had to pick, I'm not betting

511
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: either way. But if I had to pick, I agree

512
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: the Jets on the right side. Don't worry about the three.

513
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 3: I don't think you're gonna get it. It's one of

514
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: those where I think I don't think you'll necessarily need

515
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 3: it and you don't want to pay up for it.

516
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: So if I had to bet, I said, viact the Jets,

517
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: But it's not something I'm looking to to take right now.

522
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: All Right, I just got an alert on my phone

523
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: in real time that DeVante Adams has informed the Raiders

524
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: he would like to be traded. Everybody can see this coming.

525
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: Here's my thing, TA from a gambling point of view,

526
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: is there a team that you think he could land

527
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: with that's maybe not necessarily an elite team that we

528
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 2: could bet on, that's second tier where he would then

529
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: vault them to the next level. I'll start with one,

530
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 2: and again, they don't really need offense, they need defense.

531
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: But Washington quarterback on the rookie deal. I know mclaurin's

532
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: very good, but you give Cliff Kingsbury another weapon. With

533
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: the way that offense is playing, Dallas looks vulnerable injuries

534
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: to the defense, Philly banged up. I mean, I don't

535
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: want to say Washington can run away with this division,

536
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 2: but you add Devonte Adams. I mean it feels like

537
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: the move is you got CJ. Strout on the rookie deal.

538
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: Let's go get Stefan Diggs. Right. They just did that

539
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: this offseason. The smart teams with the cheap quarterback. Go

540
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: get Davonte Adams. Who do you see if anyone else

541
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: out there that maybe we could bet on a futures price.

542
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. You you know Gannon a little bit,

543
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals no defense whatsoever, But Harrison McBride and DeVante

544
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: they're throwing scare and a big scare in of some teams.

545
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they're They're kind of in that

546
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: building phades, They're okay, kind of They're not looking to

547
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 3: make the playoffs this year, so I'm not sure that

548
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: they're one of those teams. And Washington, you know, maybe,

549
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 3: but they're they they're fine like that. They are, they're

550
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: one of the they're the best offense in the NFL

551
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: right now, So I'm not sure they necessarily need to

552
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: do anything like that. I'll tell you a couple of

553
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 3: teams just as you brought that up that I think

554
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 3: are really interesting. One that stands out and you might

555
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: be surprised. I think Detroit could use somebody on the outside.

556
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 3: I mean, Jamison Williams is awesome for the occasional explosive play.

557
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 3: It's not a guy that you know if it's third

558
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: and five you're necessarily gonna go. Do you could double

559
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: Saint Brown? It would be nice to have another option. Now,

560
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: maybe they don't need Devonte Adams, but I think, you know,

561
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: a guy like Hopkins, somebody who on the other side

562
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: outside could be really interesting. So that's one, you know, maybe,

563
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously he's not gonna go back to Green Bay,

564
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 3: I don't think, but they you know, they can use

565
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 3: our more a veteran, reliable receiver. They got a bunch

566
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: of young guys, and they just lost Kristen Watson potentially

567
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: for a while with that high ankle sprain. So he's

568
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: a guy that you know, maybe Green Bay and then Pittsburgh.

569
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: You know, Pittsburgh doesn't have anything outside of George Pickens,

570
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: and they were obviously in on Brandon Ayuk. They need

571
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: another weapon. I don't think they're real contenders, but look,

572
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: they got a really good defense, justin fields is playing fine.

573
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 3: They got a good run run game. Another offensive line

574
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: does need some help because there's some injuries there. But yes,

575
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 3: George Pickens and nobody else. They could use a guy

576
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 3: like Devonte Adams. So those are just you know, if

577
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 3: you're talking about non kind of Kansas City teams. Those

578
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: are a couple that I think stand out, but Detroit

579
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 3: would be really fun.

580
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: I think certainly Buffalo Bills.

581
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 3: Buffalo is another one. You're right like, I'm not sure

582
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: how it works with the cap with them. I'd have

583
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: to look at that obviously from from a money perspective,

584
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: but yeah, they definitely need a guy. We saw it

585
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: with with Baltimore. Yeah, against Jacksonville and teams like that.

586
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: You can get away with having guys like Shakir and

587
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: Keon Colman, but you can't trust Keon Coleman yet. He

588
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 3: dropped that a deep ball that he should have caught,

589
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: and having a reliable weapon out there would be interesting.

590
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: I really think that Buffalo is okay kind of sitting

591
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: it out this year, getting things kind of revamped on

592
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: the contract situation. They cleared the decks, they let you know,

593
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: digs go. I think they want to give it a

594
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: year and then come back next year. Look, when you

595
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: got a you know, one of the best quarterbacks in

596
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: the NFL on a contract for a long period of

597
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: time and he's still young, you don't necessarily have to

598
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 3: make panic moves to win today. You can kind of

599
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: hold off you need too, so I think that one.

600
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 3: You know, it sounds great on paper. If they could

601
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: figure it out cap perspective, you know, it might be

602
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: worth it. But you know, I'm not sure that's that's

603
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 3: a fit right now.

604
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: Last one real quick, Dallas, very reliant upon Ceede Lamb.

605
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: The defense stinks. They got issues. There were no run

606
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: game to speak of. But you know, I don't know

607
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: that DeVante Adams makes them an elite team because their

608
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: defense is so bad.

609
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a problem. I think that they're soft in

610
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: the middle. We saw the Ravens exploit them a lot,

611
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: and it's going to happen in the playoffs too if

612
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: they're not careful. And now now that person's got the

613
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: high ankle and you've got Lawrence's out a couple of weeks.

614
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 3: Their their defense is in trouble, and they've got a

615
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 3: really tough schedule coming up. Actually, if you look at

616
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: market ratings and you plug that into the schedule, they're

617
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: only expected to win about nine games. They're going to

618
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: miss the playoffs at this rate. They've got a much

619
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: tougher schedule than anyone predicted because of teams like Washington, right,

620
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: they've got to play them twice. You normally would you

621
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: would not have thought that is a difficult game heading

622
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 3: in the season. Now they're much much better than we thought,

623
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: so their schedule is tough. This is a tough week

624
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: going into Pittsburgh at night without with a rough offensive

625
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 3: line and without your best two defenders. So yeah, I'm

626
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: not sure they're in that category yet because I'm not

627
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: sure they're real contenders at this point. But I like

628
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: Steeler option.

629
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: I like Steelers in that game is it. I mean,

630
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: I know it's early, but any lean Steelers Cowboys.

631
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: I would lean Pittsburgh under the three. You know, I

632
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: don't like if it hits Threy, I definitely don't like Pittsburgh.

633
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, at home at night after that loss, they

634
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: can run the ball with Najie Harris. I will see

635
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: if Warren comes back. They can't pound the Roka over

636
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: the middle that that defensive line. You know, their their

637
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: offensive line is decimated. They also right tackle last week.

638
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: They just lost Hudson, their guards, so you know there

639
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: is an issue. But they don't have much on defense

640
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: from a pass rust perspective. If you're Dallas without Parsons

641
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: and Lawrence. So I would lean Pittsburgh, but haven't taken

642
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: that or anything yet.

643
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: Just two more real quick So divisional dog. Last week

644
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: you nailed Jags and Texans. There's another big divisional dog

645
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: this week. This is one you might have to hold

646
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: your nose. But the Arizona Cardinals, who have no defense

647
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: whatsoever against the Niners and Rock Purdy. It's weird. Ta

648
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm watching Rock Purty and he doesn't have McCaffrey, and

649
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: the offense looks like it's flowing pretty damn smoothly. I

650
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: yukes ot up to speed, Deebo's back, kittles back. I

651
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: know McCaffrey's going to be out a while. I feel

652
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: like they're still like close to Niners without with McCaffrey,

653
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: even without him, because I think Mason's good, but I

654
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: don't know if I can get in front of him

655
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: and take the Cardinals. Here are the Cardinals aside.

656
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: If I had to, yeah, at seven and a half.

657
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: If they get McBride back, which I expect him to

658
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: be cleared from his concussion, they're gonna they've got enough

659
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: offense to move it. The thing about San Francisco, dirty

660
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: little secret. Their defense is not all that great. No,

661
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: you can run on them, you know, New England was

662
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: not the team with that offensive line troubles at preset

663
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: last week. That is not the team to exploit it.

664
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: I think Arizona can stay with them and attract me.

665
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: Problem is their defense is so beat up and it's

666
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: so bad. The one thing I was surprised at last week.

667
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 3: I thought it would be a shootout with Washington. They

668
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: only scored fourteen points. They had an opening drive touchdown

669
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: to Harrison, it looked great. Didn't do anything after that.

670
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray looked off like he didn't even try to scramble.

671
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 3: He had one rush for three yards. He never even

672
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: tried to get out of the pocket. Now, I don't

673
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: know if that's a cliff. Kingsbury knows how to defend

674
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: him type of deal, and they did a really good

675
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: job kind of keeping them in the pocket. But he

676
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: did not seem like himself. They didn't he didn't use

677
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: his legs. So I want to make sure hopefully he's

678
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: healthy and there's nothing going on there. Almost felt like

679
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: he looked like he was sick, like he just wasn't

680
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: into it. And so hopefully he bounces back this week,

681
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: because I think a normal Arizona offense can move the

682
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: ball and can at least at worse. You get a

683
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: backdoor situation at seven and a half that's available, and

684
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: a guy like Kyler Mury is really good historically getting

685
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: a lot of points here because of that.

686
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and lastly, I think Buffalo Houston is a sneaky

687
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: good matchup. I'll be honest. I'm not as like, oh

688
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: Buffalo super Bowl about as everyone else. I just see

689
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: this team's very limited. I know they blew the doors

690
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: off the Jags, but defensively, I don't think they're great.

691
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: We just saw what it's like. I know they were

692
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: down a couple of linebackers, but geez, Derek Henry had

693
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: like two hundred yards rushing. I don't know. It looks

694
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: like Joe Mixon is gonna come back. I'm kind of

695
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: leaning Houston here, although I know the track record of

696
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: teams that lose by you know what, twenty five or

697
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: more points bouncing back the next week is strong. I

698
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: don't know. For me, it's Houston or pass.

699
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. The one thing that was a bad matchup for

700
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: Buffalo they have small they have a smaller defensive line linebackers.

701
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: They're really soft up the middle, and Baltimore exploited them

702
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: big time. You don't really have that with Houston. You know,

703
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: they're not a run first team. You know Mixon, who'll

704
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: be coming off that injury if he plays, you know,

705
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: he's not a power rusher. He doesn't have the same

706
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: legs he had in the past. He was. There's something

707
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: about Houston that's been off this year, right Like if

708
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if you watched them last week, they

709
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: just they let teams hang around. I mean with Chicago

710
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, they should have blown that

711
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 3: team out, only won by six. I mean Chicago had

712
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,239
Speaker 3: the ball with a chance to win the game at

713
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: the end, and you know that doesn't look like a

714
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: great win. You know, the opener against the Colts, they

715
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: let them come back and you know, almost blew that one.

716
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: They win by two. They get blown out by Minnesota.

717
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: You know they're down to the Jags for most of

718
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: that game. I mean the Jags, you know, had a

719
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: fourth down stop at the one, which you know was

720
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: the difference in the game. Like, you know, they're keeping

721
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: all these games close there. They have not covered the spread,

722
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: by the way, they're own four against the spread. I

723
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: saw it, and let's stick back to last year even

724
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: early this year. Who have they stepped up to in

725
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: terms of level of competition besides Baltimore in the playoffs

726
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: where you can say that was that was a win

727
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: against an elite team. They haven't really faced many you know,

728
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: they didn't face Ball, you know, they faced Baltimore, and

729
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 3: they didn't face Kansas City, they didn't face San Francisco,

730
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: you know, didn't face Detroit like they and haven't faced

731
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: Buffalo yet. This is a step up in class for them,

732
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: so you know, maybe they can do it. And Stroud's awesome.

733
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: Like I said, I think there's just something missing there.

734
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 3: It's not necessarily the perfect matchup. You get Josh Allen.

735
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, their weapons aren't great, but he just

736
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: he makes so many plays and he extends drives and

737
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 3: hopefully Sean McDermott just man, he's an I called him

738
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: an unseerious coach on Sunday because if you watch that game, like,

739
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: how are you punting? Well, you can't stop Baltimore. You're

740
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: punting at midfield with Josh Allen on fourth and one.

741
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: I don't understand that that mentality, Uh, just the like

742
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: the try not to lose mentality just baffles me. He

743
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: does it all the time, and so uh if he

744
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: can be a little more aggressive, uh, I you know

745
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: that line open one, Buffalo is favored, got some money

746
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: to Houston, and now it's back to Buffalo one. It's

747
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: this ping ponging back and forth. I think you've got

748
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: two different points of view. I think sharp Shark guy

749
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: like both sides. From my understanding is like different groups

750
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 3: like both. So yeah, I would lean Buffalo just because

751
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 3: I think it's a step up in class for Houston.

752
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: They just haven't impressed me that much. And I do

753
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: like getting Buffalo off of a ball. But I'm not

754
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 3: like dying. I'm not running to bet that right now.

755
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: It's a coin toss game. I should add, as we're

756
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: recording just a moment ago. Von Miller has been suspended

757
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: for four games for violating the Personal Conduct Policy, so

758
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: he will be out. So I mean we could be

759
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: down three of their front seven guys, depending on if

760
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: Bernard comes back again. I don't know that von Miller's

761
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 2: worth a point at all, or even I'm sorry, not

762
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: half a point or anything. But when you start compounding

763
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: all these losses on the defensive side of the ball,

764
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Joe Mixon, it feels like that

765
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: offense is just way better, way better with Joe Mixon

766
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: in Houston.

767
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 3: He does add a little bit more of explosiveness, especially

768
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: you know in the past game camp makers. This isn't

769
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 3: that guy. Yeah, I'm actually surprised. Maybe I haven't paid

770
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: attention to von Miller's got He's got three sacks, thirteen

771
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: pressures like he's he's grading out really well, so that

772
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: you know, they are deep at edge, you know, with

773
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 3: with aj Panessa and greg Usso. But yeah, that would

774
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: be that would be a loss. You know, I'm not

775
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: sure it's worth that much, but it definitely doesn't. It

776
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 3: doesn't help. So yeah, we'll see how the injury report goes.

777
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: Getting back, you know, maybe Tarren Johnson would be big

778
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: for them, and there they're linebacking corps. We'll see if

779
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: they can get healthy. But yeah, it should be a

780
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: fun game either way. I think it's a tight one.

781
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone gets blown out there, So you're

782
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 3: pretty much, you know, trying to win a coin flip.

783
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: I'd rather not go against Josh Allen in coin flip games.

784
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: But it's weird. This is a lot a week, Pittsburgh's

785
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: two and a half, green Bay's three, Denver's two and

786
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: a half. Everything's clustered around three this week because there's

787
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of parody in this league. There's no

788
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 2: there's no elite team. I don't want to hear the

789
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: Chiefs are elite. They're not.

790
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: What what's funny is last week, you know Denver, when

791
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: I was looking at Survivor, I didn't have Green Bay

792
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: or the Jet available. But if I would have, you know,

793
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 3: would have thought about the Jets versus Denver. But then

794
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: I stepped back and said, I really gonna lay. I

795
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: mean their seven seven a half point favorite. Is are

796
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: the Jets the type of team that can blow you out?

797
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: Like that wasn't a sure thing? And that's the thing

798
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: like that that is not a seven point spread. Now

799
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: New England San Francisco is a different story. Like the

800
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 3: talent gap that might be one versus thirty two, And

801
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: that was just a ten and a half point spread.

802
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 3: That's probably as wide as it gets. There's not many other,

803
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 3: you know, situations, you're gonna find these big spreads. So

804
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 3: I agree, you know, there's too many teams that are

805
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 3: are flawed and there's not enough good quarterback play and

806
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: not enough teams that are scoring scoring enough to really

807
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 3: extend margins that you feel comfortable with. So yeah, any

808
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: kind of push comes to shove. If you're in like

809
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: pick them contests and you're instead of flipping a coin,

810
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: just take the big dog, You're more likely not going

811
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 3: to be right.

812
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: This is, I mean, boy, more news breaking. It is

813
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: not big though. Snowpuntley will officially start for Miami in

814
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: New England. I'm looking to see if that moved the line. Shocker,

815
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 2: it has not, and I don't think. I mean, gosh,

816
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: this is a bad game. It looks to be like

817
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: New England is favored by one at home against Huntley.

818
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: Incredible. I can't believe New England's favorite over anybody. But

819
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: I thought if you watch, if you watch Miami, they're

820
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 3: they're lifeless. Like I'm not going to say that they're

821
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 3: not true, I mean, they just are lifeless, like Tyreek

822
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: Hill's not happy. It's incredible that Tua is that impactful.

823
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 3: They can't find a single backup and all these years

824
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 3: that can at least hold the fort like just be

825
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: competent you have and that shows you, like I like

826
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: by McDaniel. But he is not Matt Lafleur. He is O'Connell.

827
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: You know, they're just totally he Those guys will adapt

828
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: their offenses to the quarterback, the type of style that

829
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 3: they have, and they'll change their offense around. He is

830
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: using the same offense and he will not get away

831
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: from get away from it, no matter who the quarterback is.

832
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: And that's that's a flaw for him. He's gonna have

833
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: to learn how to adapt. He's not the same level

834
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: of offensive coach. And the defense is pretty bad for Miami.

835
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 3: So we'll see this is you know, this is their

836
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: season and if you want to say a float, you

837
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: got to wing this game. But it's hard to trust,

838
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 3: you know, trust them for trust the Patriots.

839
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was you or Albert Breer,

840
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: but we talked about drafting a quarterback every year should

841
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: be just mandatory for every team, and I was screaming,

842
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 2: go get Penix. He's a lefty. He fits perfect and

843
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: in place of to and they got no quarterback. Now,

844
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: Penis went high, obviously, but Miami remember when they signed

845
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 2: Mike White, they stole him from the Jets. We're is

846
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: he even in the league. Now, I don't know what, Like,

847
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: why would you pay money for him, take him from

848
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 2: your rival, and now a year later when you need him,

849
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: he's not even on the roster. I don't know.

850
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, they cut him, I think last year. I think

851
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: they can't afford him. They're paying so many guys. I

852
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 3: don't think they can afford, you know, to pay any

853
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: legitimate backup, which is the problem here. But you're gonna

854
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: do that. You should draft one for sure.

855
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 2: I would hit you with my trade Tyreek Hill idea,

856
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: but that's probably going to go nowhere. But it's like, dude,

857
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: if you can get to first for Tyreek, I don't

858
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 2: think absolute. I think you got to do that. Miami

859
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: doesn't have talent. Ta.

860
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if they can get to first for him.

861
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 3: I think you get like a first in a second

862
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 3: or first and a third, you know. I don't think

863
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 3: you get two first ram anymore.

864
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: But that's what that guy gotta do. Yeah, all right, Ta,

865
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: great stuff. Check out a site Cleveanalytics dot com. It's

866
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: not just picks. There are picks, but survivor. Do you

867
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: do fantasy there as well?

868
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 3: I do some. I do dfs write ups every week.

869
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: Kind of like sleeper calls and you know, like you

870
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: say you're talking about the write ups. I like how

871
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: you you described it. That's how I want the site

872
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: to be. I don't want you to just to because

873
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: I just post here, here's what I'm taking. If you're interested, like, sure,

874
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 3: go read the write up and if it makes sense,

875
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 3: if you follow the plan, like all right, that that

876
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 3: makes sense, Like I'll back that as well. Great. If

877
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 3: you think it's the opposite and you don't wanna, you

878
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: don't agree with me, great too. I'm put I put

879
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: my write up, my process. You know, different patterns, like

880
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 3: types of teams in these types of situations, how I've

881
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: done historically. Talk about weather, it's about injuries like all

882
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: those things. There's a lot of stats up there and

883
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: tools to do searches. You make your own decision based

884
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: on that. And that's what I'm trying to do is

885
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: just kind of help your be a part of your process.

886
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: So that's what the site's all about. And they have dfs.

887
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: I have Survivor. I have pick a pool where I

888
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 3: pick every game against the circa million frozen frozen lines

889
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 3: on Thursday. So it's all there for for you to

890
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 3: kind of peruse and get act.

891
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: It's not fun when people are just like, hey, what

892
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: are your picks and then they get upset when they

893
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 2: don't hate. Hey, here's why I like it. Yeah, So anyway,

894
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: all right da, thanks a lot, buddy, awesome appreciate Jason,
