0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Check it on Man No Down Man, Thursday morning, November nine,

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>It's the Beating the Book Podcast Mega Pod Live from

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the Day, Like saying that every week I've come, I've

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>become used to it. It's our home here at the

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>day in beautiful downtown Las Vegas. It's Gill Alexander, as

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>always joined by the two staples of the show from

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>his mother's cork attic, but disguised once again in Pittsburgh,

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>p A. What is that Todd? What's behind you? What's

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the what's the background? I'm sure, I just I just

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>scrolled through all the wacky backgrounds and I found one

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that I thought was fitting for today. It's a bearded

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Todd Wishne and all my left the conciliary to Derek

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Stevens here at Circuits Sports, VP of Operations at Circa.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>It's Mike Palm. How are you doing, man, g I'm good.

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Like you got your suit on, you got your name,

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 1>crucifix for Todd. I don't know if you can see it.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm on this. It's like the studio aid circle.

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>There's cameras in every direct here right right here. I

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.199
<v Speaker 1>wore crucifix for Todd since he was celebrating Christmas. Hey,

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>how about how about that if you would just actually

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>act the precepts of Jesus rather than talk them a

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>shot across. But I will forgive you four d and

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>ninety times. By the way, how about the Washington Wizards.

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>What was that reference for night? I don't even know.

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>They said they asked Jesus Father, how many times? M

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>as I forgive seven times? And he says seven times

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>seventy times. Yeah, we believe Jesus walked on water. We

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>just thought it was in the winter. Is that old Testament?

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>That's my favorite Mikey line of all times. We were skeptical.

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>We were Catholics, but we were skeptical Catholics growing up. Uh.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of speaking of religious things, how about the state

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of Israel with Denny the ninth pick in the NBA

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>draft to the Washington Wizards. The leaflet just became a pamphlet, Mikey,

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>congratulations of you, thanks so much, appreciate it. Notamir Goodman

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>having a little blurb about him. It was, Yeah, they

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>were talking and on the bottom it said Tamir Tamir Goodman,

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the Jewish Jordan and he had a whole discussion. But

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>then I was, by the way, speaking of Ashem. Ashem

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>came through from me last week when Nicholas Chubb goes

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>out about and the greatest time you plus four and

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>a half and under eighteen and a half, and somehow,

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>some way, the miracle of Ashem comes through for me

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>instead of going against me. Here's how, here's how I

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>knew you had that bet because you were desperately trying

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to justify it on text, and I'm like, okay, stop it.

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>It went from a night should not he should not

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>be running all alone in the last place, the last

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>place of the game is supposed to run into the

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>line and tackle. It shouldn't be running sixty yard by himself. Anyways.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>How often does that happen in a college game? Not

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>enough pro game. I'm just saying, uh, win probability to

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a hundred percent win probability, Like if we're starting to

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>do that in the NFL, and I get it, but

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>imagine if at the end of the year the Browns

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>don't get in on point differential or he loses some

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>contract instead of because he didn't get in the end zone. Like, well,

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>let's not take this to the ridiculous extreme, but you

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>should have never been running all alone that on the

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>sidelines in the first Okay, uh, Mikey, let me ask

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 1>you a survivor question, because I don't know if you

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>know this. I'm obsessed. What did you end up using?

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you use Green Bay Las Screen Bay Packers? I

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>thought number e was right on, and there was two

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy people that had the Packers eligible, and

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, at highest it would be one two thirds

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and he said it will be just over two hundred.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>It was two oh four. He nailed it. In retrospect,

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>if you could have got through now, it looks like

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the Sunday after Thanksgiving with the Packers hosting the Bears

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>looks like the lay up looks like by far the

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>best choice you could have made on that Sunday, if

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you could have, if you could have held the Packers,

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>that game scares me. Really, Division games always scare me.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>This is the gauntlet, This is the Circus Survival Gauntlet.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>This is it. This Sunday, Thanksgiving and next Sunday. Three

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>games in eight days, and I just pray I see

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you on the other side. One of the three oh

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>one left. We went from three o nine to three

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>oh one six lost on their three ten to three

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>oh one. Six lost on the Eagles, three lost on

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens. I think if the Ravens weren't playing on Thanksgiving,

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 1>more would have lost on the Ravens. But because some

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>were still saving there and now, I do you even

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 1>want to use them against Pittsburgh? I mean, I I

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the play is. If you had to,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you'd have to do a double option. James, you have

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>two left and survivor. I do have to left. I

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>purchased three and I still have too And like you,

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I did do Green Bay last week, and like every

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>single week, it feels like it's coming down to a

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>last second, last second drive some cases at the last

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.799
<v Speaker 1>second field go. I felt like it's been a sweat

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>with these big favorites coming down now. Fortunately that hasn't

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>been a big favorite upset for quite a while, but

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>it feels like it's a it's a sweat for the

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 1>last probably the last month. So you're obsessed by it.

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm on it by it At this point, I don't know.

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I just I'll I figure it'll get real if I

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>can get through Thanksgiving. Well, I didn't give James is

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>proper introduction it's it's former Westgate Super Contest champion James

<v Speaker 1>pm Eastern on Serious XEP channel two oh four. James,

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>first of all, thank you for being on the megapod.

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 1>First time you've ever been on the megapod? Right it

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>has been is this I'm assuming this is a family show, right,

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>so we'll conduct ourselves appropriately. O. How you guessed correctly? No? Um,

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>now you've really reached the big time by the way

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that you're on this show. Um. So, James, are you

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>going to is your strategy if you get by this

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Sunday to use opposite teams with your two remaining entries

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on Thanksgiving? I don't know. I I've I feel like

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm gonna be I'm gonna be that standard athlete

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>cliche and just take it one week at a time.

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>And and actually I kind of scrapped what what I

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>projected out a long time ago, just based on we

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>knew that COVID was going to be an issue, and

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>it was back in September and early October, schedules being

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>shifted around. Games that you thought were going to be

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>played this week now moved back and moved around. So

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I just play it week to weeks. So I'm hopeful

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe that might be if I have if I'm fortunate

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>enough to get both entries through this Sunday looking at Thursday,

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that might be the option. But then you know I

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>have right now, I have five out of the six

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>teams still available, So yeah, it's a juggling cue. I

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what I'm gonna do at first.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do for this

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Sunday because right now I have no idea. Yeah, I'm well,

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to our Survivor picks later. Um, but can

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>I just tell you this my last thing about Survivor.

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And I know this is the first week that everybody

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>put in their entries. Finally in week ten was the

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>first week they all submitted. See what it is next year? Uh,

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>But I looked back at the ten games I've had

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>so far, five of them were complete sweats. So the

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 1>notion of you know, picking this week and I don't

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>know that team that seems the lay up. There is

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>no such thing as a layup. People are kidding themselves

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>if they think there's a lamp. Everything that looks like

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a lamp just just skims by. The Steelers. The only

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>team you used already? Correction? Yes, what about for you, James,

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>what's the only team on Thanksgiving? Me? Use? I used Baltimore? Wow? Okay,

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>so again Thanksgiving Houston, Detroit, Washington, Dallas and Baltimore Pittsburgh.

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>You could not have asked for a better trio of

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>games from your pick comes you don't even know the

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and half of them who's going to be quarterback

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in half of those games? Yeah? Well, I'll get to

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>what I'm thinking about that when we get to Survivor.

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with our best bets. This is how it works,

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, best Betsy, I do not, but go ahead,

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>DoD please. Courts stenographer Todd Wishnev with the update. Sports

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>stenographer Todd Wishnev here with the update on Mikey's O

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>two in one week and he only got the one

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>when Kyler Hail Murray. Wow, the ball comes flying out

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of the skies and touchdown baby in a game we

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>had no business listening anyways. Mikey falls to fifteen thirteen

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and two. Gil goes also to fifteen thirteen and two,

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and I am at fourteen fifteen and one with a

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>one one and one week in the teaser scenario, Gil

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and me are tied for first place at seven and

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>three and Mikey lost his teaser last week and he's

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>down to six and four. I also lost and I'm

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>also down to seven and three, So we're doing well

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>on teasers. We are doing well on teasers. A lot

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of Stanford long options again this week. We'll get to

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>those also on the show. Uh okay, since you bring

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it up as okay, the Nick Chump thing was one thing.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Cliff Kingsbury is getting a lot of credit for the

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray kneel down on the line up at two

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.199
<v Speaker 1>point conversion mode instead of kicking an extra point when

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray hit DeAndre Hopkins for the Hail Mary, Cardinals

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>go up to the only way you could get eating

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>at that point theoretically is if you tried an extra point,

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it gets blocked and gets returned for the two point conversion,

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and so Cliff Jetinsbury is getting a lot of credit for,

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, going into the two point conversion mode and

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>just taking a knee. My belief is that he thought

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>it was a timed down. I am convinced that he

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>looked into what looks like a great decision. I think

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>he thought it was a time down and that the

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>two seconds would run out because Kyler Murray looked completely surprised,

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think they had no idea that they would

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>actually have to. You know, it happened in a Kansas

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>State game. It happened in a Kansas State game about

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>twelve years ago. I remember I was involved in the

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>point spread, and I remember they didn't do the two

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>point conversion for the exact same reason. Um So, I

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know whether you're right or wrong about Cliff Kingsbury.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>He's not the brightest bulb in the tool shed, so

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know. Not the

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 1>brightest bulb in the tool shed. I had the bills

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>plus two and a half on a live ticket, and

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>when they scored there, I said it, Derek, they're not

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>going to kick this point because if you remember the

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>old rules, if you blocked the kick, it was worth one,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so you would kick it. You still went by one.

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>But now that it's worth two. I said, he's gonna

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>take a knee, and he did. You're smart. Well, you

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 1>also could try to run it in and just give

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>it to Murray and try to go forward. What do

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the oddset they can pull it out of him? Catch

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>alignment catches? Why do anything? You might as well just

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>take a knee. I mean, even though I wanted it

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>to be, you know, three, because of my pick against you, Mikey. Alright,

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>best best bets. Let us begin with our esteemed guest,

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Mr James Salinas. What is your first best bet of three?

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Sir well, I think so looking at the top three.

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, honestly, you know my process, gill Is. I

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>usually I need to see all of our practice reports

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>through Thursday and Friday, and especially this year, I think

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the value of trying to get ahead of the line

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to the value of knowing personnel availability is

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and I definitely defer to the ladder. But in this case,

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>for you guys and this show, I think I will

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>start off with our first game. I'm gonna go with

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Miami here in Denver on the road. I think it's

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>it's mainly three and a half. So I don't know

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>how you guys want to look at these numbers, but yeah,

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna lay the three and a half with

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins on the road here in the Mile High City.

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And ultimately this is more so I mean, I like,

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously we've seen what Miami's doing. They've made the change

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 1>at quarterback. I think twas helped them kind of expand

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>their their offense within the red zone. That's given him

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 1>more playmaking ability and really given chan Gailey a chance

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to catch up to the twenty one century and open

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the playbook, uh for to Ah because he has the

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>ability to move around and they kind of play left

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>handed as an offense now. So it's it's difficult for

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 1>teams now that they're getting a few weeks, but difficult

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>for teams to adjust to that, and they've been taking

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>advantage of that clearly in the red zone. But more so,

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a bet against Denver and really what the

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 1>dysfunction is within that locker room between the disconnect of

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff and those players. Vic Fangio, I mean,

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>he's multiple generations removed from this current generation of players

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that are playing the National Football League, and he he's

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>as old school as it gets and he is not

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>interested in trying to baby players uh and and bring

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>them along. They pretty much left Drew Lock out there

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>last week to continue taking a beating against the Raiders.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>He's got bruised there. They haven't really let up that.

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>They haven't really put out there exactly what happened to

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Drew lack contusion in the ribs? Did he did he

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>get hit? Does he need a hug? Whatever that is?

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 1>But Vic Fangi, Vic Fangio, Yeah, there's one too, for sure.

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>But Vic Fangio is not one to give hugs during

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.559
<v Speaker 1>the game. And Drew Lock is constantly looking around for

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>someone to give him a hug. That's not gonna happen.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>So there's a big disconnect within that locker room between

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>that coaching staff and in particular this offense. There's also

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a disconnect between those two units usually offense and defense.

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>They don't hang out, they don't like each other a

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>whole lot, but they will respect each other. I think

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a point now where there's defense is getting tired

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.559
<v Speaker 1>of having to carry the load for the Denver Broncos,

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>and now they're knowing that really, I think last week

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>fact that it was real clear that the eye and

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the prize for the Broncos is to let Drew Lock

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>play the season out and his development development is really

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 1>more important than the Broncos winning games at this point.

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's clearly the message within the locker room. There's

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of talk out here in Denver about

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>where are they going to go at the quarterback position,

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Where are the defensive players mindset right now?

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Because they are not happy the fact that they have

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to constantly come out here and and play, you know,

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>have to have a stopped h and every time on

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the field because they know offensively that it's just a

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>complete mess. So that's my first play. I will lay

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the three and a half and take Miami Dolphins on

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the road. Miami Dolphins. Todd hit it. Miami Dolphins. Are

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>they for real? It's looking like they really might be

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that Brian Floores, what can you say about him? Hey,

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe two is actually good? Wow? Nice, very nicely done.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>By the way, we're giving James plus three and a

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>half or plus three minus three, it's minus three and

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>half and half or minus three is what I'm saying.

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>It was three and half YO found at minus three

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>minus though he wants to use by the way, you

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>guys are desperately trying to make that a thing, but

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that's always we've said. Nobody was trying desperately to make

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>it a thing. But it's fair to take a minus.

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, on the entire history of this show,

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about reduced juice and extra juice. You guys

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden because I had that you you

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>thought you were clever and made a think of it.

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not a thing. Minus twenty is one thing. But

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I want an asterix. If Yo and I finished tied

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>this year for the best record, I should win it

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>because he was used and used the minus one good lord. Unfortunately,

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I I don't like to agree with you against Gill,

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>But in this case, hey, oh you know what I

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>made it? I made another formatic formatic error. But Thursday night, yeah,

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the way I was good. I was about to interrupt,

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>but I knew i'd get yelled at for interrupting. I

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say, do you want to keep format? I

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>though I should really know this. James do you have

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>any opinion on the Thursday night game tonight, U. I

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>mean it's I don't like the the where the Arizona

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals are on the defensive line right now. I think

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>we've seen that. The offensive line for Seattle, it's they're

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>they're hurting net center. I don't even know who's gonna

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>start at center for Seattle tonight, but everything falls on

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson. The have to make plays. They haven't had

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>any sense of the running game with the injuries that

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>they've sustained at that position. But as far as the

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>with as far as the Cardinals being able to apply

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>any kind of pressure, we know Channel Jones has been

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>out for the last few weeks, but right now, that

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>entire defensive line it's all gonna be backups. And in

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>my mind, it's one of the things that I constantly

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>do with the NFL is it's just a severe drop

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>off from experience and talent level from starters to backups.

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how Arizona creates any type of pressure

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>with on Russell Wilson. So from that respect, I think

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's he obviously needs He's still obviously a very

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>talented player. This is more of a redemption spot for

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>them short week, they get to be at home. Not

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>twelfth Man, we know that. But I'm gonna lean towards

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Seattle Land the three and getting themselves right this weekend

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>on the or this week on the short week. Alright,

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>little Lean, not a best bet, Lean, best bet for

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you tonight of nothing, Todd, I'll be just watching in

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>game and looking to go over if it looks like

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a typical Seattle game where they just score it well

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and give up at will. So if that starts to

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>be happening very quickly, um, you know DK medcast running

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>wild and Lockets running wild and Kyler Murray can't get stopped,

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if it's one of those kind of deals,

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll be jumping on the over problem. I think for

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>me tonight on Primetime Action MSG plus seven to ten

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Monday through Friday, I think that it might be

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a Cardinals over teaser situation for me. But I will say,

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>from an in game perspective, this feels like whichever team

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>falls behind, there might be an opportunity on the team

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that falls behind in game just because this feels like

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a basketball game. Yeah, because it's going to just come

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>down to the end like last time. Remember they had

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>a six to say game a couple of years back.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, So James Selina's first pick is the Miami Dolphins.

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Mikey pick number one. Want to take the Vikings in

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Lay seven against the Cowboys. Tough spot, short week, Cowboys

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>off to buy. But the Cowboys can't stop the run.

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota is gonna be able to run the ball here.

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>And when they can run the ball, Kurt Cousin is

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 1>a serviceable NFL quarterback. I'm not buying into the game

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that Dallas gave. They gave the Steelers a good game

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the last time they played. And we're not that this

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>is a pathetic team. This is a horrific team. I

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.919
<v Speaker 1>know they've gotten some players back. I'm not gonna stop

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>fading them though. And uh, I think the Vikings now

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>are back in the playoff hunt. They've resurrected their seasons

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>from the from the oh and four start, And uh,

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna be focused here. And I said,

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not an easy spot to go to Minnesota

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 1>fans or no fans. Two things. One, your cross is

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.880
<v Speaker 1>making me nervous, too um serviceable. I love that term.

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 1>It's the most damning with faint praise think you could

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>ever give someone. Mike, Mikey, you're a serviceable vice president

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:06.360
<v Speaker 1>of operations here gys compared to Ben Foxx not serviceable.

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't get through one of these without a shot, Todd,

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:15.479
<v Speaker 1>what's your first best bet? My first best bet is

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be James just learned the name of the show.

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>James just learned the name of his show. For God,

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Mike kills it. Yes, Todd, I'm sorry with the Washington

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>football team as my number one pick, God minus one,

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe is what do you have for them? Uh?

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 1>One and a half? Yeah, one and a half? Consensus?

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 1>You have one and a half? You okay? I see

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of two. So I'm just sort of I'll

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 1>take the one and a half. That's fine. So the

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>reason I'm taking the Washington football team is um. Back

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 1>in the day, there was a guy named alex uh

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Smith I believe was his last name, and he had

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>two legs and he was a good quarter back. I mean,

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe I shouldn't go crazy. He wasn't above average quarterback.

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>He was pretty it was very very fine. Yeah, he's

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a good quarterback. That's what I'm saying, and now he's back,

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and it seems like he's got his two legs back,

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and they're down to Detroit. They didn't just decide okay,

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>games over. They came back like they were a legitimate

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.159
<v Speaker 1>team on the road and made it a game. Um,

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're that bad. I don't think the

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Redskins are that bad. I know everyone loves old Joey

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Burrow and he's the next you know, coming of whatever.

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the Redskins just you know, they played

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 1>tight with the Giants. They crushed Alice. You know, last week.

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I was very impressed that they didn't just you know,

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>pack up tent and get out of that game. They

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>came back, they made it a game. I think Cincinnati

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>on the road is going to have some trouble. Uh.

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, they've played much better at home this year. Really,

0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the only game they were in on the road was

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the Indianapolis game where they got way ahead. I'm sorry

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.400
<v Speaker 1>they tied at Philadelphia also, But to me, this looks

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 1>like a game the Redskins. You know, they they don't

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>look like they're quitting. To me, they look like they're

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 1>still playing. And I really like Alex Smith. So I'm

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna take Washington, all right, Washington football team ers minus

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>one and a half versus Cincinnata. My number one pick

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.680
<v Speaker 1>will be the New England Patriots two and a half

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 1>point favorites. What is it two or two and a half.

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's say two at Houston. Let's see what we got

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>for New two? Yeah, do you want to give it

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.640
<v Speaker 1>to me? At one minus one oh three? You guys

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>want to give it? You know. It's amazing Gil for

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>such a bright guy that you don't understand that that

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 1>minus is something. But we'll let it go. Go ahead.

0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I understand the concept, Todd, but seems like

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 1>thanks for belittling me. Uh So, here's the thing on

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 1>guessing lines for two weeks now, and for those listening

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>to guessing lines, they know this that the line that

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.159
<v Speaker 1>I have been the most off on involves the Houston Texans.

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Last week, I guess Cleveland would be four and a

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>half point favorites or five points, can't remember against them,

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>And Chrissy was like, it's two and a half or three.

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I like your line a lot better. And I couldn't

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>believe that Houston was getting that respect. This week, I

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 1>said New England minus two and a half. This was

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning and Chrissy said, I like your line better.

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>You won't believe this Houston. It's is either a pick

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 1>him or Houston is favored by one and a half.

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And that first twenty four hours from Monday to Tuesday,

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:23.719
<v Speaker 1>this came all the way to New England minus two

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and a half. I do not understand why the Houston

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Tech and Texans seemed to get this initial line respect

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>coming out of weekends. I don't think Bill Belichick is

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna let Romeo Crennell beat him here period. Um. And

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think New England feels like they have a second

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>life here after being two and they were on the

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>cusp of two and six, they pulled that Jets game

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>out of their behinds, and now after the win against

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens there four and five and they're actually thinking

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 1>things about their season. Um. I still have a season

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>win total under nine and a half on them. I

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think they get there, but I do think they

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>are good enough to go into Houston and figure out

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a way to beat the Texans giving less than a

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>field goal. I will take the New England Patriots is

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 1>my number one pick of the week, James number two. Now,

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So just for so I'm clear with your format. If

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you if we both like the same game, do I

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:21.119
<v Speaker 1>need to find another game? Can I dan wagon with you? However, however, James,

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>if two of the other panelists have picked a game,

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a good idea not to make it a third

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>because it never wins, right, But you are allowed to alright,

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>well lost in the center square with this one. To Gil,

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that I'm right with you. With New England,

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if the Texans want to play

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>let alone. What Todd was just talking about that last

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.160
<v Speaker 1>play against against the Browns last week where you're trying

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to You're trying to get us up and down the sideline,

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 1>deals chubs sliding out of bounds at the one yard line.

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.400
<v Speaker 1>How do you give that up? I don't know why

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the Texans even want to play. They can't even keep

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>their lead pr rep around anymore completely. I mean, everybody's

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.479
<v Speaker 1>just getting jettison from that team. I think at this point, now,

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the past a halfway point, everything falls onto Deshaun Watson's

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>shoulders to have to make every single play. I think

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>um as far as injuries are concerned, at the running

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.359
<v Speaker 1>back position for for Houston, David Johnson is on I

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>R is back up now. Duke Johnson has not practiced

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>this week. He is questionable. I don't know who the

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.639
<v Speaker 1>hell is gonna run the football. Laramie Tunsil at the

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>left tackle position also is not practicing. So their offensive

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 1>lines a mess, not only from that standpoint where I

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>think Stephon Gilmore should be back finally for New England

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to bolster that secondary to help against the only the

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.439
<v Speaker 1>only past you know that the past attack for Houston,

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the only strength offensively they're gonna have. But more

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.919
<v Speaker 1>so just from the mindset of the Texans, I just

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I see this team continually ready to check out here

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna place a New England team just like

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you said, gil where Bill Belichick is not gonna lose

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to Romeo coralnaw L and that team is not going

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to lose this weekend either. So one and a half,

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>two and a half, anything under a three, I'll take it.

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll lay that. I'll a that number win by a

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.199
<v Speaker 1>field goal on the road New England Patriots as my

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 1>second play. I love being on the same side of

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.919
<v Speaker 1>as James is. If you if you could have it,

0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 1>if you could be on the same side as a

0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 1>super contest champion, as a fifteen thirteen and one asterisk guy.

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.640
<v Speaker 1>You take that opportunity every time you get it, Mikey

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 1>number two. My next two picks are both already given.

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give them both right now. Okay, my

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.679
<v Speaker 1>number two pick is I agree with James. I'm on

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 1>a fade of Denver. Denver is awful. I argued with

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Lombardi for five minutes on Sunday about this game. He said,

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>this was on the Raiders game. He this is was

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 1>perfect spot for Drew lock that. But bah, they were

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 1>going to beat the Raiders. I said, you said they'd

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 1>go seven and one at home last year. Mike. But

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, this team is bad. This is

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 1>a bad team. They don't have a quarterback. I agree

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>with James the disconnect there with the coaches. They're They're

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>just not good, just not in Miami. Continues to get

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>better every week. Look, I mean they are playing very

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.320
<v Speaker 1>very well. I'm still impressed by that went over the Chargers.

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>The Chargers are a good team. I love your pick.

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I love your pick to win the NFC the f

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 1>C easy. I think right now they're the best team

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I like. I like that pick. I think they go

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 1>to Denver. I think they handle this game. I think

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.119
<v Speaker 1>to as you said, continues to mature as a quarterback.

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Their defense will confuse a bad Broncos offense. And I

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 1>look for I look for this game under and I

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>like Miami to win by a touchdowner more How long

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 1>before you and Lombardi just getting in a fist fight. Never,

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 1>this guy's in love with me. I mean he's texting

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:40.719
<v Speaker 1>me every day about the song lyrics I put up

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>with the playbook. I mean, it's incredible. If I ever

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 1>did stand up comedy, I have to have Lombardi in

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the front, front row because he laughs at everything I say.

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:51.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, he's he is a great

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>shill for me. It's great audience to have. You know,

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 1>he he really loves people where he hates them. There's

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>there's no middle ground with that. But it seems that's

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>he won't text. It seems that way. He doesn't seems

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that way, he doesn't. Alright, Todd's so that's two end.

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 1>When third is I agree with Todd, I like what

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't you can't one second? Can we go in

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.399
<v Speaker 1>order he can come back with because we sip and

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>given I don't want to spend a lot of time,

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I agree with Todd. I have the Washington football team.

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 1>I think, really, I think the Washington football team is

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the best team in the NFC East, better than the Giants. Yes,

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm out a Daniel Jones guy. I'm not a Daniel

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And if if Alex Smith is halfway healthy and he

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>can push off at all, I think they're the better team.

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 1>They have the best defense in that division. Philadelphia is abominable, abominable,

0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 1>My god, are they awful? And Doug Peterson might Drew

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Lock is Jeff George, you jarm no brain. I remember

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>watching a Missouri Perdue game one time when he was

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in Missouri and I had Perdue and I had no

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 1>business covering the game. Missouri could have literally word five

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred points had had Drew Lock had a brain in

0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>his head. And somehow I survived and won that game.

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And I thought to myself, this guy is not going

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to be successful in the I don't think he has

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:11.640
<v Speaker 1>this big of arm as Jeff George, and I don't

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>think he's as dumb. But your your point is taken. Yeah,

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Jeff George was not a likable guy. I just meant.

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I just meant from the like he has the NFL tools,

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he has the NFL brain. Listen, Todd,

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and someone who's as smart as you should be able

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to tell that I understood what you said there. That

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>was a shot at what you said to me earlier.

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Wonder I'm obviously not that right. Okay, number two from you, sir,

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:41.400
<v Speaker 1>But the number two is going to be the dirty

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta Falcons birds, the dirty birds, remember the dirty Anderson's

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 1>the sequencing, There wasn't sequencing. There wasn't as eloquent as

0:27:56.119 --> 0:28:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought it might have been Dirty Atlanta. I'm to

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 1>take the thirty Burdison. Here's why you know, they're really

0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:06.959
<v Speaker 1>easily could be six and three. I mean, I know

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy to say, but they could easily be six

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and three had they not just given games away. They

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>crushed Denver. They didn't just beat I know that the

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>final score is very misleading in the in that football game.

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're beating people pretty pretty nicely. Here. They

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.400
<v Speaker 1>crushed Minnesota on the road. This is a decent team Atlanta,

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and now he gets to go against Jamis Winston for reels.

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 1>That is something you just you like to do. Uh,

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what do you know what Jamis Winson's gonna

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>do with New Orleans in a in a competitive game.

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>None of us know whether he's gonna be decent or

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>not good, or whether they're gonna have Kaysom Hill in

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>there for fifty. New Orleans has a hard time beating

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 1>anybody big anyways, because their defense isn't that good. Aside

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>from the last the week against Tom Brady, they were

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>giving up tons of points. To give up twenty four

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to Carolina, to the Chargers, twenty three even to the Bears.

0:28:58.000 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you give up twenty three to the Bears,

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and you're telling me Matt Ryan's not gonna torch you.

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be hard to win by five. Give me

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta dirty Birds, Falcons and Gwynette County, Cobb County and

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 1>any other county round Atlanta plus five. He's still got

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>election fever. Uh, Sean Payton is gonna jam Taysom Hill

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>down our throats of this game. Have you guys gotten

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>paid on your election bets yet? Know? Then? Why isn't

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>there still a lineup? If it's not done? I know

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that was there should be, but there should be. Yeah,

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>that was the That was the first thing he said

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that was bright about. Yeah it was a good point. Yeah, No,

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a good point. That's absolutely right. We should

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>all get paid. Al there's no lineup, then it's it's done.

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So he's right about his winning bets though everything after

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the actual putting it of a bet. I love you.

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay is my number two pet. Play green Bay

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>plus what is it? One and a half? Green Bay?

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I have green Bay plus two. But you tell me, well,

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>if you want to give me to give me two. Wait,

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 1>let me just check it again, just to be safe.

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Give me to green They I have them? At how

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 1>come I can't find him? All right? As you determine that,

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking the Packers just because I don't think they

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 1>should be have dogs in this game at all. Plus

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>one and half plus two I think plus two is fair, Okay,

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't think they should be dogs in

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>this game by any stretch. Obviously, they didn't appear to

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>give a darn if I may say so against the

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars last week, as we skated by with their survivor pick.

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But to me and I do know the Colts once

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>again coming off extra rest here after they doubled up

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the Titans. I I just the the Philip Rivers third

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and one, fourth and one Shouldnigan's on Thursday Night Football

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 1>was finally his coming out of the closet as a

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>person who does not sneak. Seven opportunities where they six

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 1>where they ran the football on third or fourth and one, uh,

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:50.000
<v Speaker 1>seventh where they passed, and then the eighth was the

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>pinch sneak to Jacoby percent and again. If you're like, well,

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 1>why are you making such a big deal about sneaks,

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>This is a competitive advantage for any defense against the

0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Colts in short yard situations. At some point this nips

0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>them in the butt in a very key moment in

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a big game. I think, Aaron Rodgers, I think you

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>throw out that game against the Jaguars quite frankly last week.

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I think, uh I in a game with Aaron Rodgers

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and Philip Rivers, I will happily take the Green Bay

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Packers here against the Colts. I think the Colts and

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the Titans are both kind of fake good teams. I

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 1>don't really buy into them. Um. I think the Packers

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a better football team. I will take them in a

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Pickham situation, or excuse me getting two points where there

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 1>is there is no home field advantage in the NFL

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>this year. It is not a thing. And so give

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>me Green Bay, which essentially is a neutral field, getting

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple of points. It's just a numbers play for me.

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the Packers number three from James Well, I'm

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>not knowing how you guys have gone through ten weeks

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>with your with the podcast. For me, I have been

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 1>anti Adam Gaze for for two years now. Talk about

0:31:56.520 --> 0:32:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a dysfunctional coach that everybody is. He's running everybody out

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of there that won't that that don't want to buy

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 1>into whatever crazy, cross eyed, dysfunctional game plan that he

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>brings in weekend and week out. But and this may be,

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>this may get me kicked off your program and never

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>invited back to the Beating of Book podcast again. But

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually going to take the Jets in this situation.

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I have a plus eight and a half out here,

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of give me another point? Why not? I

0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:31.480
<v Speaker 1>this is yeah, that's a ton of points. Where where

0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>are the the Los Angeles Superchargers giving these numbers to

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:39.360
<v Speaker 1>be favorite over anybody? At this point, it's a two

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:41.959
<v Speaker 1>and seven football team. This is not a bet on

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, although they do have Quentin Williams coming back

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna help within the defensive line. I would bet

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the over as far as rough in the past or

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 1>penalties in this game. For Greg Williams defense, they're always

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>good for a few of those that will help sustain

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a few drives. It'll help sustain a few drives for

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the Charges. But ultimately, even if they have the lead,

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, Anthony Lynn and company are gonna find a

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>way to dump the game. They're not gonna be able to.

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're even gonna win this game.

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm ruining against it because whoever has the Chargers left,

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that they're gonna want to use the Chargers

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in the survivor pool this weekend, thinking that the Jets

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>are just the bed against weekend and week out when

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the survivor pool. And that makes sense,

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 1>but in this case, you're gonna have a team that's desperate.

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very hard obviously to go to to go

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>undefeated in this league, and it's pretty hard to go

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 1>winless in this league as well, so I think from

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that standpoint with the Jets coming off to buy not

0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:37.360
<v Speaker 1>wanting to be if if there's ever a sense that

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.960
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be desperation from the Jets playing like a

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:42.680
<v Speaker 1>weekend and week out to not be an O N

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>sixteen football team despite Adam Gaze and all is all

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>is really just constant dysfunction weekend and week out. I'm

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna take the Jets plus the Todd said at nine

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and a half, that's fine, whatever that is. Anything over

0:33:56.840 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that eight, I will take it. I think the Jets

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>stay in this game because of the Chargers in aptitude

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to finish off any opponents. So give me the points

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 1>on the road with the New York Jets. Wow, taking

0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the j E. T S Jets sets Jets Joe Flacco

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>at the Helm plus nine and a half. By the way, guys,

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Woads just confirmed Clay Thompson ruptured achilles. Ah ah, you

0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 1>imagine back to back major major leg injuries. Remember when

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I when I popped my achilles in front of you, guys,

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 1>You remember what my words were the Mike he said,

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 1>are you in pain? I said, oh no, it's the

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:34.280
<v Speaker 1>mental anguish. It is the mental that was right before

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Todd said he we get those two balls? Hey, can

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I get those two tennis balls back? Freshly ruptured a

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.720
<v Speaker 1>r he said, the mental anguish of what I'm about

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 1>to face for the next year, and Todd goes, hey,

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.800
<v Speaker 1>can I get those tennis balls back? The great lines

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 1>ever unbelievable. Uh, poor Clay Thompson man and poor Warriors.

0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I so badly wanted to see the band back together

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:04.319
<v Speaker 1>in Golden State. That sucks. Uh, Todd pick number three. Um,

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna go with Green Bay two. But um

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 1>you know what, because you picked him, I'm gonna take

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. Don't do that. You just told James he

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:12.239
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't do that. Why are you doing that? No? No,

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why I'm not doing it because I

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 1>have four picks here that I liked. One of them

0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 1>was Green Bay, So I figured, and you need to

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>catch up. Yeah, yeah, from Yeah, that's another reason I

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.879
<v Speaker 1>need to kick up. Um Okay. So here's what I'd

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:31.760
<v Speaker 1>like to take. I'd like to take the Dallas Viking

0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 1>game under forty eight. Dallas Vikings under forty eight. And

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 1>here's why. Um, I think sneakily quietly the Minnesota team

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 1>is becoming the old Minnesota team which plays good defense,

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:51.520
<v Speaker 1>runs the ball, make sure that Kirk Cousins doesn't beat them,

0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 1>just grinds out. W's real methodical. Uh, that's why Zimmer

0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 1>used to coach him up and then early this season

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>they got away from that, and now lately it seems

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like they're cleaning it back up and it's back to

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>just grind it out good defense. And that defense used

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to be really stellar, you know, in years past. Earlier

0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 1>this year it hasn't been good, but it seems to

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 1>be picking it back up lately. So I just don't

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 1>see how Dallas is going to score a lot of points. Uh.

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>They needed one of those wacko kick return tricks to

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>get points against the Steelers. I think they're gonna need

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot more. Who's who's starting Gilbert or I don't

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:32.040
<v Speaker 1>even know who these guys are? Who's starting at quarterback

0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:34.560
<v Speaker 1>for Dallas? You know, how's Dallas going to get to

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 1>more than seventeen points? I don't see it. Thirty seventeen

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:42.800
<v Speaker 1>still goes under, So give me the under. Forty eight

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas, Minnesota. Andy Dalton expected to start for the

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys this weekend. I don't care who's starting? They all stink.

0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Clint Longley expected to start for the Cowboys this weekend.

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>How about the clapper? Because wasn't the clapper? Backup? Steve

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.360
<v Speaker 1>or Gary Hogo Boom is starting this weekend for the Cowboys.

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Bernie cos Oh, that's very yes, he was there a dandy.

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Don Meredith didn't coach Sar come in in an NFC

0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>championship game when Aikman got hurt against against the forty

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Niners and nurse him through in the like the last

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:20.879
<v Speaker 1>quarter and a half to get him I think so?

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I think Aikman got concussed. Can cust great word.

0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:30.760
<v Speaker 1>My final pick is the Tennessee Titans catching points against

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are always tricky because they

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:35.240
<v Speaker 1>are the best come from a head team in football

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>in many respects, but they can't come from behind to

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:42.839
<v Speaker 1>save their lives. What's that? You're getting? Five? How am

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I getting five? When I see six and a halves

0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and sixes all over the place I see everywhere? Five?

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:54.760
<v Speaker 1>What kind of looking at all? Five? Pinnacle has five?

0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what? You know what? It literally just moved

0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:02.719
<v Speaker 1>like literally five minutes ago. Interesting. Wow, Okay, I'll still

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 1>take the Tennessee Titans. So apparently the Mikey Gill's gonna

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:09.799
<v Speaker 1>take the Titans plus five minus. This joke keeps getting

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:11.960
<v Speaker 1>funny here. We just kind of had a little fun

0:38:12.000 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 1>because there was it finally came up that somebody used

0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:16.719
<v Speaker 1>at minus one. It wasn't a big deal. Well, he's

0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:19.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna wasn't He's gonna milk it between now and next year.

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's let it go. Todd after Mike. The last

0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:26.160
<v Speaker 1>time I said the last time I said that the

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:29.319
<v Speaker 1>asterix was funny, I'll agree to the asterisk type. It

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:32.480
<v Speaker 1>was funny. Yeah, let's move. I agreed to the asterisk tiebreaker.

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>How about that? All right? I'm taking the Titans. The

0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:38.520
<v Speaker 1>rematch of the playoff game between the Titans and the Ravens. Uh.

0:38:38.640 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Titans obviously famously beating the Ravens is the number one

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:46.440
<v Speaker 1>seed last year, Um Titans have again. Look, I just

0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>think it's just too many points. Again. It gets back

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to guessing lines on Monday. I thought Baltimore would be

0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:53.920
<v Speaker 1>about a four and a half four point favorite in

0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:55.840
<v Speaker 1>this game. Didn't understand the six or six and a

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:57.839
<v Speaker 1>half not as not as fun now, but I'll take

0:38:57.840 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it at five because I don't want to change up.

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I just think the Titans have the ability to that

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>they match up quite well with the Ravens, and I

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.800
<v Speaker 1>do think with the Ravens. Any pick against the Ravens

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:11.839
<v Speaker 1>comes down to this game script situation where if you're

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>fortunate enough to go ahead of them, you are just

0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:17.800
<v Speaker 1>way ahead of the of the game at that point.

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 1>If you fall behind, a little more challenging. But the

0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Titans obviously a team um that knows they can beat

0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:26.359
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens, even when they were at their heights last year.

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're fearful of them at all. Give

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 1>me the points. I will take all these. I do

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>not understand why the Ravens are getting this kind of

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 1>respect with that one dimensional offense right now. So people

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:43.600
<v Speaker 1>have figured out Lamar, It's not I mean, we've seen

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>this before. A guy comes into the league, since the

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.480
<v Speaker 1>league on fire, the next year, they figure him out.

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, I think they're gonna have a harder time

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>with Kyler Murray, but but Lamar, they seem to have

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 1>figured him out. They figured out Greg Roman is what

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.360
<v Speaker 1>they figured out Todd all right? If they had Kubiak

0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:00.160
<v Speaker 1>they could run the ball still because he it was

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:02.520
<v Speaker 1>how to run the ball. This was a one hit wonder.

0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Gregg Broman running the ball last year and he won

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the Assistant Coach of the Year. And now it's showing

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have enough creativity in the run game. All Right,

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 1>we gotten through our three best bets and now it's

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 1>time for our best teaser of the week. And Todd,

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you and I seven and three and teasers? What's mikey

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>six and four? All right? And James Selinas in the

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>guest chair. James, you have honors, your honor, your favorite

0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:28.240
<v Speaker 1>two leg six point teaser of the week? Six point teaser?

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 1>What number do we have currently for the Kansas City Chiefs? Chiefs?

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:37.919
<v Speaker 1>I have at uh seven? Eight? What do you have? Gil?

0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm starting to lose confidence in what

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I have here on the screen. I don't think it

0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:46.840
<v Speaker 1>means updating. I saw an eight earlier. I saw eights

0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:52.880
<v Speaker 1>out here in Denver earlier today, So okay, well, I

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:55.520
<v Speaker 1>uh The two team teaser i'd like would be green

0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Bay teasing him up past the seven may What is

0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:01.399
<v Speaker 1>that eight? Now? If at six points green Bay plus eight,

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:04.439
<v Speaker 1>which should be I. I think I agree with Gil.

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I kind of lean towards Green Bay winning this game outright,

0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>but give me the additional points past that number, INDI's

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna struggle to score. They don't have any type of

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a running game. Uh. And now they're I think they're safety.

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.240
<v Speaker 1>They're having issues at the safety position as well. That

0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that's their biggest weakness for the Colts is in that secondary.

0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 1>They're great against the run, they do have injuries, especially

0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:26.799
<v Speaker 1>in this at the safety positions. So I think there's

0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be plenty of opportunity for Aaron Rodgers to put

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.640
<v Speaker 1>some points on the board. We'll we'll see what Davante

0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Adams ankle looks like as the week progresses, but I'll

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>take that plus the eight and then with Kansas City

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 1>COVID or not as far as the Raiders concerned, now

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:41.759
<v Speaker 1>we know those are big issues going on right now

0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:43.799
<v Speaker 1>on that defensive side of the football. A ton of

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 1>guys not gonna not gonna be able to practice this week.

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they play, but kind of similar to a few

0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 1>weeks back when they had to play Tampa and the

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>offensive line was in quarantine. Now majority of those guys

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:56.880
<v Speaker 1>were able to come back and play on Sunday. But

0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have any time to practice and prepare for

0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that defensive pass rush and all the different looks that

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you were gonna see from the Tampa Bay defense and

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles. Same thing here with Kansas City. You have

0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to be prepared on the field for all the different

0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 1>all the different gimmicks that we know, Andy Reid and

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Eric b Enemy, they're all there, o c are gonna

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 1>bring to Las Vegas this weekend. The other piece with

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 1>this too is as a Super Bowl champion weekend a

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:24.959
<v Speaker 1>week out, Kansas City is gonna get everybody's best shot.

0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:26.920
<v Speaker 1>They got their best shot back a few weeks ago,

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:30.440
<v Speaker 1>lost that game outright at home to the Raiders. I

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.560
<v Speaker 1>think in this spot here there's some redemption piece. As

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl champion, you're always trying to find different

0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 1>ways that you can find motivation. I think that was

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:42.440
<v Speaker 1>motivation enough. Uh. Coupled with the apparently I don't know

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is there gonna be? This is an opportunity I think

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:46.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Chiefs and Andy Reid and company to do

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:50.279
<v Speaker 1>a few bus laps around Allegiant Field this weekend. So

0:42:50.440 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I love the chief In this spot, we can get

0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:54.280
<v Speaker 1>him down below a field goal with the teasers, count

0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:56.279
<v Speaker 1>me in Green Bay plus the eight in Kansas City.

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess at minus two. What do you think about

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders constantly being in COVID nineteen reserve week after week?

0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like their whole defense, like you said, James is

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:07.080
<v Speaker 1>in this thing. They can know. Just to be clear,

0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 1>they can all play by Sunday if they have a

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 1>string of negatives. Do you think it's a Raiders thing

0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:13.920
<v Speaker 1>or is it a Vegas thing? I'm starting to get paranoid.

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:18.400
<v Speaker 1>It'd be a little of both. Yea, Mikey, your favorite

0:43:18.400 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 1>two team. What's the number on the Chargers games? Are

0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:28.839
<v Speaker 1>you sure I'm gonna appeal to you? Are you see

0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half? Okay, so it's not that, then

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not teasing him down to three and a half.

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the Cardinals plus nine tonight. I understand James

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 1>concerned about the defensive line, but Wilson did not look

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:43.319
<v Speaker 1>good the last few weeks in these games. And I

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 1>do think that Kyler Murray is dynamic and this Seattle

0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:48.320
<v Speaker 1>defense is just really really really bad under bows of

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the Carol. So um, I'll take plus nine and then

0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll agree with you and the Chiefs take him down

0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:55.879
<v Speaker 1>to two. Yeah. Like I said, I'm i'm I think

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm teasing Arizona tonight with the actual total tonight. That's

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 1>not my teaser of the week, Todd. I'm gonna take

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 1>green Bay plus the eight. We've all talked about why

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:08.239
<v Speaker 1>green Bay plus I'm even though Philip you know I'm

0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:11.279
<v Speaker 1>in Philip rivers anonymous meetings and even you know every

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:12.759
<v Speaker 1>it was a tough week for the people in the

0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 1>meetings last week because Philip Rivers did cover, but he

0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't deserve to cover. You know, that ridiculous punt helped him.

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:22.360
<v Speaker 1>So um, you know I love going against Philip Rivers.

0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Give me green Bay plus the eight and give me

0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Vikings minus the one. I already talked about

0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:30.800
<v Speaker 1>why I like the Vikings and to keep the score

0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 1>down against Dallas. I don't see why they should be

0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:35.239
<v Speaker 1>able to win the game pretty easily. Give me green

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Bay plus eight, Minnesota minus one, and I'm taking green

0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Bay plus eight Sincecinnati plus seven and a half Cincinnati

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is yeah plus well plus, they're like plus one or

0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:51.839
<v Speaker 1>you have them plus one and a half. Wait a minute,

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you had Washington earlier, didn't we give you minus one

0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and a half. So how am I only getting that's right?

0:44:57.440 --> 0:44:59.279
<v Speaker 1>One and a half? Well, thank you very much. Okay,

0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati will recount total recat can we do a recount

0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:06.520
<v Speaker 1>on this seven? Yeah? I think Joe Burrow and company.

0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Keep it close. Yes, Todd, you're gonna say nothing. No,

0:45:11.760 --> 0:45:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, Okay, Uh survivor pick so me and James,

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he's still alive and survivor. You're not required to give

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>your survivor pick up the week here, James if you

0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to. But if you think you know which

0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:23.799
<v Speaker 1>one you're going to take in circa, please by all

0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:26.640
<v Speaker 1>means share with the people. Well, maybe this can be

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of a revisit of a numbers game that we

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:32.080
<v Speaker 1>were doing every Friday from three years ago, where maybe

0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I was taking this team. Maybe I was a little

0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bella check and move on you. I honestly

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I haven't looked that far ahead. I'm

0:45:43.160 --> 0:45:46.560
<v Speaker 1>struggling with this week, so I'm gonna let some things

0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:48.400
<v Speaker 1>play out. So I don't want to say anything on

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:51.000
<v Speaker 1>there because I'm not number one. Yeah you you, I'm

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:53.920
<v Speaker 1>sure with you, We're competing against each other. But in

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:57.120
<v Speaker 1>all honestly, I just don't know right now. I you know,

0:45:57.239 --> 0:45:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I It's funny. As these weeks have gone on, I

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:01.919
<v Speaker 1>have known less and less by the time of the show.

0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I think, I think I'm taking Anthony Lynn in the Chargers.

0:46:05.800 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>So I think it comes down to if you have

0:46:07.560 --> 0:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>everything available this week, do not have Pittsburgh? Okay, but

0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I would. I think it comes down to you can

0:46:11.920 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 1>take the Vikings for the charge. Yeah. I think if

0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:18.759
<v Speaker 1>you have Pittsburgh available and you want to override Thanksgiving,

0:46:18.760 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you take Pittsburgh. But the other two teams are the

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:23.840
<v Speaker 1>charges of the Vikings, and I trust, to believe it

0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:27.040
<v Speaker 1>or not, the Vikings less than I do Anthony Lynn

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.319
<v Speaker 1>this week. Are you going to feel though, when there's

0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 1>two minutes to go, well, you got you got Land

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:34.520
<v Speaker 1>or Kirk Cousins? What do you want? I mean, you

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.720
<v Speaker 1>feel bad about both of them. It's third down in seven.

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Chargers are up by two there at the forty five

0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>yard line, and he makes some bozo maneuver so they

0:46:44.600 --> 0:46:47.160
<v Speaker 1>have to punt the ball. Joe Flacco drives it down

0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 1>for a fifty nine yard field goal at the want

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Todd forget the end of the game. How am I

0:46:52.920 --> 0:46:54.400
<v Speaker 1>going to feel at the end of the first half

0:46:55.440 --> 0:46:57.120
<v Speaker 1>what he does every week andrews up the end of

0:46:57.120 --> 0:46:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the first half. It's it's unbelievable. Running clock at one

0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:01.799
<v Speaker 1>already and the Dolphins have one time out from your

0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:04.360
<v Speaker 1>own sixteen and he throws three in complete passes. And this,

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of course after my earlier close call with the Bucks,

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:10.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're probably running a read option up by three scores,

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:12.279
<v Speaker 1>So so okay. So then I asked you the question

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that was to seven and then Chargers option from the

0:47:15.600 --> 0:47:17.480
<v Speaker 1>nine yard line, And as I said at the time,

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:19.239
<v Speaker 1>it was like the Rocky music I had come from

0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the dead. How does he not after having that first experience,

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:26.799
<v Speaker 1>How does that not lodging your brain and say, let

0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:29.000
<v Speaker 1>me not do something dumb again? Here They all do it.

0:47:29.520 --> 0:47:32.520
<v Speaker 1>He's not the only one. Tons of coaches from their

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 1>own twelve yard line with no possible way of getting

0:47:36.080 --> 0:47:38.640
<v Speaker 1>in field goal range, love to run plays. They can

0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:41.480
<v Speaker 1>only go bad and cannot help you at all. The

0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.640
<v Speaker 1>fall of the fact that he had done it in

0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay is why it made number one on America's

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:51.080
<v Speaker 1>most popular segment No Hyperbole Hyper Bowl and it's a

0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:55.719
<v Speaker 1>big rip off grievances of your grievances. That's exactly what

0:47:55.760 --> 0:48:01.400
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's feats of strength grievances was the original.

0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:02.960
<v Speaker 1>You know I got a hard stop. Can I give

0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you the game I'm not interested in? Yes? Please? Okay?

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh I have no interest in the Packers and Colts,

0:48:09.280 --> 0:48:10.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you why. You guys. Are you love

0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:13.319
<v Speaker 1>the Packers? Are? I just think the Packers are too

0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:16.319
<v Speaker 1>jackal and hide. They could win this game, like we

0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:19.239
<v Speaker 1>said about that Miami Arizona game, they could win this

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 1>game by thirteen. They could lose this game by four.

0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean they could because they their performances are inconsistent,

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:27.319
<v Speaker 1>especially on the road. So James, thank you for being

0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:30.080
<v Speaker 1>with this last one. What big favorite? Most look like?

0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Your choice? Your choices are Pittsburgh ten and a half

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.560
<v Speaker 1>for it's called ten point favorites. At Jacksonville there's only

0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:41.600
<v Speaker 1>four choices, Chargers nine and a half point favorites hosting

0:48:41.600 --> 0:48:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, Minnesota seven point favorites hosting Dallas, and then

0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City above the seven. Now I believe because of

0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Anthony charges, because of thank you, James, now your excuse,

0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:53.759
<v Speaker 1>thank you, please put that cross back out of your shirt,

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:57.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you, and go to Bible study with the religious symbols.

0:48:57.280 --> 0:49:02.200
<v Speaker 1>This guy's very intimidating, all right, James, Let's ask the

0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's ask the final two questions. Let's ask him. Let'slet's

0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:07.920
<v Speaker 1>start with the second one, first of those four big favorites,

0:49:08.360 --> 0:49:10.759
<v Speaker 1>final two questions, which is the most likely to lose

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:15.960
<v Speaker 1>out right between Pittsburgh at Jacksonville, Chargers mosting the Jets,

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:21.760
<v Speaker 1>UH Minnesota hosting Dallas, Kansas City at Las Vegas. Pardon me, gosh,

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I hate the I hate the scheduling spot for Pittsburgh

0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:25.880
<v Speaker 1>here we knowing that they have a short week with

0:49:25.960 --> 0:49:30.239
<v Speaker 1>division rival Ravens on Thursday night, Thanksgiving Night. But I'm

0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm anna agreement with Mike. I think if if

0:49:32.480 --> 0:49:34.560
<v Speaker 1>it's one of them that's gonna fall prey, it would

0:49:34.560 --> 0:49:38.120
<v Speaker 1>be the Chargers. Basically again bet against Anthony Lynn. I

0:49:38.160 --> 0:49:41.440
<v Speaker 1>actually took the Chargers back a few weeks back in

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the Survivor to get them out of the way so

0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:46.479
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have to be conflicted this week to see

0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:48.279
<v Speaker 1>them playing the Jets. I took him when they played

0:49:48.440 --> 0:49:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville maybe three weeks ago. Or so I'm gonna go

0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:54.680
<v Speaker 1>with that. I'll go with the Chargers to lose, the

0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:56.839
<v Speaker 1>biggest favor to lose on the board, and we'll go

0:49:56.840 --> 0:49:58.960
<v Speaker 1>with the Chargers to lose to the New York Jets.

0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:01.400
<v Speaker 1>And that Jacksonville game were down a touchdown late in

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the third they get were they down sixteen? I think

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I think at one point we were down sixteen. I

0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:12.880
<v Speaker 1>think they were up sixteen and by seven, and then

0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 1>there was a fumble and it turned the game around

0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:17.080
<v Speaker 1>in the late third quarter. But that's what I'm saying

0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:19.200
<v Speaker 1>when I say I had five close calls out of ten.

0:50:19.600 --> 0:50:21.319
<v Speaker 1>That's why, like everybody's like, I don't know, this is

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a free nothing's easy nothing. So like the notion Anthony

0:50:24.800 --> 0:50:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Lynn could end up beating the Jets by twenty three

0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and it'll be an easier walk than Pittsburgh could be

0:50:29.440 --> 0:50:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a Jet. None of these are easy. Um, So, Chargers,

0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the Anthony Lynn pick is James uh And that was

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:39.719
<v Speaker 1>also Mikey's todd. You know, the Jets average seven point

0:50:39.800 --> 0:50:41.719
<v Speaker 1>five yards of play at least for the first half

0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:45.520
<v Speaker 1>against the Patriots with Joe Flacco. You know, it wouldn't

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.640
<v Speaker 1>shock me if Anthony Lynn finds a way to blow it.

0:50:48.280 --> 0:50:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I will take Minnesota for some reason. Anthony Lynn would

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:54.440
<v Speaker 1>usually be the pick here, but I just have a

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:58.000
<v Speaker 1>bad feeling about Dallas in Minnesota for some reason. I

0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:00.279
<v Speaker 1>just have a bad feeling. So I'd say Minnesota just

0:51:00.360 --> 0:51:03.440
<v Speaker 1>a hair over the Chargers. And the final question, we

0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:06.359
<v Speaker 1>live in a bizarre world where of all these four

0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:08.680
<v Speaker 1>teen games, again there's four teams on by this week,

0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:12.359
<v Speaker 1>but of all the four teen games remaining, including tonight's game,

0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:14.759
<v Speaker 1>let's say we were forced to bet aside on each

0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and every one of them, but we were allowed one

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>free pass. Mike, he said, it's Green Bay, Indianapolis for him,

0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:23.040
<v Speaker 1>What is it for you? James? Detroit Carolina. We don't

0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:24.920
<v Speaker 1>know who's going to start at quarterback for either of

0:51:24.960 --> 0:51:28.360
<v Speaker 1>those teams. Bridgewater has knee issues and I suspect he

0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:31.359
<v Speaker 1>probably won't play. But if that's the case, you've got

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Will Greer and p J. Walker, But you don't know

0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:35.440
<v Speaker 1>who's going to start the quarterback position. Same thing with

0:51:35.520 --> 0:51:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Detroit and Matthew Stafford with this thumb. But also, the

0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Detroit is not a team. I hate Detroit. I'm not

0:51:41.680 --> 0:51:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna back Detroit. I don't even want to play Detroit

0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 1>until they get rid of Matt Patricia as the head coach,

0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:48.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's another team that can't find a way to finish.

0:51:48.840 --> 0:51:51.520
<v Speaker 1>They were very fortunate last week. Sure Matt Prater is

0:51:51.560 --> 0:51:54.560
<v Speaker 1>one of their best offensive players, as always, bailing out

0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Matt Patricia again from blowing another big lead to the

0:51:57.280 --> 0:52:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Washington football team. I don't any part of

0:52:00.520 --> 0:52:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that game, or those or that franchise for that matter.

0:52:03.239 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 1>James cut to a shot of you on Thanksgiving mornings,

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:09.840
<v Speaker 1>sweating out your survivor pick on the lines, dying in

0:52:09.880 --> 0:52:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a quarter. What's wrong? Jay, your your wife? You're like nothing.

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm betting on David Blow or Chase Daniel Um to

0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:22.720
<v Speaker 1>survive Todd game. You want no part of Rams Buccaneers again.

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:24.919
<v Speaker 1>The Rams are up and down. You know, they play

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:28.680
<v Speaker 1>great against Seattle, they play crappy against somebody else. I

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know what what to get out of

0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the Rams. And then you know, the other question is

0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:34.640
<v Speaker 1>if they can pressure Brady all of a sudden, he

0:52:34.680 --> 0:52:37.200
<v Speaker 1>looks terrible. If they don't pressure Brady, then he looks

0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:39.600
<v Speaker 1>like the Hall of Famer that he is. So I

0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 1>just I don't understand what to do with that game

0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:43.840
<v Speaker 1>at all? Here here the I said this on a

0:52:43.920 --> 0:52:45.919
<v Speaker 1>numbers game this morning. I also said it on guessing lines.

0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the two Rams stats of the week Sean

0:52:48.600 --> 0:52:51.600
<v Speaker 1>McVeigh thirty one and oh when he leads at the

0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:54.560
<v Speaker 1>half thirty want to know when he leads at the half?

0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And here's one from this year. Rams defense has given

0:52:58.600 --> 0:53:00.799
<v Speaker 1>up in their nine games this year, they're six and three.

0:53:01.040 --> 0:53:03.760
<v Speaker 1>The Rams defense has given up a maximum of three

0:53:03.880 --> 0:53:07.600
<v Speaker 1>points in eight of their nine second halves this year.

0:53:08.200 --> 0:53:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Only Buffalo got more than a field goal against the

0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Rams defense. Pretty interesting for a team that's supposedly known

0:53:14.520 --> 0:53:17.080
<v Speaker 1>for offense. And Sean McVeigh, well, that's why I like that.

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I like the end game games because that's that's a

0:53:19.960 --> 0:53:22.640
<v Speaker 1>game where I think, if you see the Rams getting

0:53:22.640 --> 0:53:25.480
<v Speaker 1>pressure on Tom Brady, go ahead and bet the Rams.

0:53:25.560 --> 0:53:27.760
<v Speaker 1>If you if they're not getting pressure on Tom Brady,

0:53:27.840 --> 0:53:30.239
<v Speaker 1>then don't you know. But that's why I love end

0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:32.440
<v Speaker 1>game betting, because you just get so much more insight

0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:34.399
<v Speaker 1>as to how the game's gonna you know, play out.

0:53:34.600 --> 0:53:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Totally agree, So I do Primetime Action with Matt Brown,

0:53:38.080 --> 0:53:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Kelly Bilin, Daniel Ovari MSG plus Monday through Friday seven

0:53:41.080 --> 0:53:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to ten pm easterre Uh. My pick for this sounds

0:53:44.040 --> 0:53:45.400
<v Speaker 1>like a show I would have been great on with

0:53:45.480 --> 0:53:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Hugh gilh. It sounds like it was you know what,

0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:51.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a vehicle made for Todd Wishneff. It really really was, well,

0:53:52.719 --> 0:53:56.440
<v Speaker 1>what are you gonna do? I had a toss up

0:53:56.440 --> 0:54:01.160
<v Speaker 1>here between two games Philadelphia Cleveland and Detroit Carolina. But

0:54:01.239 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I think James, I'm with you. I think it's Detroit Carolina.

0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:05.600
<v Speaker 1>We I mean, ay, we don't know if it's Stafford,

0:54:05.600 --> 0:54:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we don't know if it's Bridgewater, as you said. But

0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:09.719
<v Speaker 1>just in general, I think I answered Detroit more to

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:12.800
<v Speaker 1>this question than any other team. I have no feel

0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:14.839
<v Speaker 1>for the Lions week to week. You have no feel

0:54:14.880 --> 0:54:17.280
<v Speaker 1>for the lines in the middle of from one quarter

0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:19.919
<v Speaker 1>to the next. I mean, they coughed up that huge

0:54:20.000 --> 0:54:22.680
<v Speaker 1>lead to Chicago. Earlier in the year, they almost coughed

0:54:22.680 --> 0:54:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it up to Washington. So that's the team I want

0:54:25.080 --> 0:54:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to party. So it's a Detroit and Carolina, and Carolina

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:31.960
<v Speaker 1>is no sure thing from week to week either. Um

0:54:32.000 --> 0:54:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure, and no quarterbacks. That's obviously the answer

0:54:34.560 --> 0:54:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Carolina. Thank you to Mikey Palm, who's gone, thank you, Todd,

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:42.560
<v Speaker 1>wishing James E James Selena's everybody co host of you

0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:44.680
<v Speaker 1>buried the lead on James. How are you doing James

0:54:44.719 --> 0:54:50.920
<v Speaker 1>in the regular contest? That's your fork. I'm probably Honestly,

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know exactly where I stand with the standings.

0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably about six or seven games above five D

0:54:57.800 --> 0:55:00.959
<v Speaker 1>right now, I think, so I've on Todd, I've been changed.

0:55:01.000 --> 0:55:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I changed my strategy with it this year. I've been

0:55:03.880 --> 0:55:07.160
<v Speaker 1>playing more for the four week contests and then like

0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:09.600
<v Speaker 1>we so the first you know, because they have such

0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:14.440
<v Speaker 1>lucrative prizes for those mini contests. Uh, that's where like

0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:17.560
<v Speaker 1>this year, I was in the hunt come week four

0:55:17.640 --> 0:55:19.799
<v Speaker 1>for the first quarterly, but I had to do some

0:55:19.840 --> 0:55:22.800
<v Speaker 1>contrarian plays and then that buried myself doing it that way.

0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 1>So it's been kind of pick up and make up

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:27.720
<v Speaker 1>from there. But strategy has changed this basic because those

0:55:27.800 --> 0:55:30.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterlies have become so lucrative. So I think right now,

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like I said, collectively, I think maybe I'm six or

0:55:32.719 --> 0:55:36.239
<v Speaker 1>seven games above. That's super interesting. So basically you had

0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to go against what you would have otherwise done because

0:55:39.040 --> 0:55:41.319
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to see if you could win. That's super

0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:43.960
<v Speaker 1>interesting and that interesting how the the whole thing has

0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:47.600
<v Speaker 1>been shifted yep, yep, and Todd, I did that last year.

0:55:47.640 --> 0:55:49.319
<v Speaker 1>So last year, right at it or right about this

0:55:49.360 --> 0:55:52.160
<v Speaker 1>time was I was writing contention for that third quarterly.

0:55:52.200 --> 0:55:54.480
<v Speaker 1>So going into week twelve, yeah, it would have been.

0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Obviously week twelve, I was like about a point and

0:55:56.960 --> 0:55:59.399
<v Speaker 1>a half out of the first place. So I had

0:55:59.440 --> 0:56:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to do some trarian plays, try to figure out what

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the top leaders were going to take, either go against

0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that or go and stay away from that, and then

0:56:07.200 --> 0:56:09.680
<v Speaker 1>also have to play the Monday night game to give

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.279
<v Speaker 1>yourself a hedge play, which I did last year. So

0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I was able to make some money, some good money

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:17.520
<v Speaker 1>either way because it all played out that way. But

0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:19.200
<v Speaker 1>those those are some of the things that you kind

0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:21.839
<v Speaker 1>of have to consider playing the when you're playing these

0:56:22.000 --> 0:56:25.040
<v Speaker 1>contests now because those quarterlies are in play. It's an

0:56:25.040 --> 0:56:26.640
<v Speaker 1>excellent question, by the way, I asked it on a

0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:28.520
<v Speaker 1>numbers game of James. I forgot not to ask it

0:56:28.560 --> 0:56:29.840
<v Speaker 1>on the I forgot to ask it here on the

0:56:29.840 --> 0:56:31.759
<v Speaker 1>podcast side, So thank you for that, Todd. By the way,

0:56:31.760 --> 0:56:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you guys saw this college football playoff.

0:56:34.440 --> 0:56:36.719
<v Speaker 1>They refused to move it back, so they're saying that

0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:39.960
<v Speaker 1>if a team comes up COVID outbreak right before a

0:56:40.080 --> 0:56:44.360
<v Speaker 1>national semifinal, they're not replacing the team, and the team

0:56:44.360 --> 0:56:46.360
<v Speaker 1>who gets the is on the other side of the

0:56:46.360 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 1>field just advances. The season ends like that. College football? Yeah,

0:56:52.320 --> 0:56:54.160
<v Speaker 1>can can they put an odd Can they put some

0:56:54.200 --> 0:56:57.560
<v Speaker 1>odds up on? Will there even be a college football playoff? Yes?

0:56:57.640 --> 0:56:59.160
<v Speaker 1>And no? I know they do a lot of the

0:56:59.200 --> 0:57:02.239
<v Speaker 1>yes and no. That would be interesting. I would tend

0:57:02.280 --> 0:57:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to lean the know it's all in play. By the way, James,

0:57:05.080 --> 0:57:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna ask you on the spot and you could say, no, here,

0:57:06.960 --> 0:57:09.840
<v Speaker 1>do you have you have any uh slot availability tomorrow

0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:12.920

0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:22.800
<v Speaker 1>look at my work schedules. Is a perfectly, perfectly acceptable answer. Um.

0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:24.760
<v Speaker 1>But I just wanted while we're here to to ask you.
