Jason, Welcome back to 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 2: the show. Happy holidays, preemptive, Happy New Year. What's going on? 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? Famous last words there? You're doubting the Patriots. 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not kidding. 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: If they feed off your anger and they feed off 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: your hate, hey, they'll come back and bite you in 20 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 3: the ass. 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: If they win the Super Bowl this year, I think 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: I'm giving up football, Okay, because there's just no way. 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: You can't lose that game with a buy on the 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: line to the Dolphins and think that there's any sort 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: of you know, you could you could sit there and 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: think the last couple of weeks that they've just been like, 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: oh well, they'll get it going when it's really time. 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: That was the time you needed that buy for sure. 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: And the fact that they lost that game if they 30 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: I don't know what the odds would have to be 31 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: on for me to bet them to win the super 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: Bowl at this point, because I there's no plausible scenario 33 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: where I can see it happening. 34 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's weird too. That week seventeen is usually 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: they're good in that spot, regardless of they have something 36 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: to play for if they don't, even when they don't 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: have something to play for, they tend to come out 38 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: and kick the snot out of whoever they're playing. And 39 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: it just they just did not look right. And my 40 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: little daughter is a Dolphins fan. 41 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: Wow. 42 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: And so we were all watching that last two minute 43 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: drive and I will I will call back to the 44 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: first podcast I did with you guys before the season started, 45 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 3: and we talked about AFC East and you said, what, 46 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: what's your favorite over pick or what's your favorite win 47 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: total pick? And I said the Dolphins over. I believe 48 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 3: it was four or four and a half. And I 49 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: believe I was laughed laughed at whoa. 50 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's no no, no, no, no, no, 51 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: let's just be clear. There's one thing. 52 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: I'm glad you remember that podcast, because the only thing 53 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: I remember from that podcast is someone laughing at me 54 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: for my overpick on the Bills. 55 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 3: Yeah. 56 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: That was like six and a half. Man, I mean 57 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: they soared over that. 58 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: They did, they did. Yeah, that was that was done. Jeez, 59 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: that was by Halloween. You had that one round? 60 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was not quite as nervous as I'm 61 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: sure you would have been coming in. But anyway, we've 62 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: got a lot to talk about for this weekend. Jason 63 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: and I are going to be looking at the odds 64 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: in the four wild card games, and will also take 65 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: a really brief look at some of our favorite future 66 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 2: beats to win the AFC, the NFC, and the Super Bowl. 67 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: But let's get started, as all good things in life do. 68 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: With Buffalo Bill's here at the Texans. Texans Length three 69 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: with the over under at forty one and a half. 70 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: I don't know about you. This strikes me as probably 71 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: the game that's going to be the least bet of 72 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: the playoff games. It just doesn't really seem like the 73 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: public's going to have a whole lot of interest, and 74 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: I doubt anyone really wants to trust Bill O'Brien and 75 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: the Texans. Although you know you've got JJ Watt coming 76 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: back here, it's going to more than I think the 77 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: actual impact on the defense is going to be kind 78 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: of a morale boost for the team, but you've also 79 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: got the sense of better it's probably don't really trust 80 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: Josh Allen and the Bills. They played tough against the 81 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: Patriots and the Ravens, but they did lose. Their backups 82 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: were no match for my tough Jets, So they're coming 83 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: in on a little bit of a downturn. So what 84 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: do you think you're Texans laying three with the total 85 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: of forty one and a half. 86 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. The one thing with the Texans is, you know, 87 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: if you look at their stats overall, not that great, 88 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: but they come to play in big games and must 89 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: win games, they do show up. And Deshaun Watson always 90 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: a game where he comes to play in those big 91 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: games ever since he was probably in high school. I mean, 92 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: I saw the guy playing at University. But this defense, 93 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: which has been suspect too, it does tend to show 94 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: up when it needs to have those big win games. 95 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: If you look at their schedule that they've come through 96 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: against some top teams and when the pressure was on 97 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: as well to perform very well. So I'm not necessarily 98 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: counting out Houston here. I thought the line was actually 99 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: going to go upwards to three and a half, so 100 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: I grabbed Houston early this morning. I just kind of 101 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: looked at some of the big and the way it 102 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 3: was trending, and I thought, Okay, well I'm going to 103 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: be smart and get ahead of this and get the 104 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: field goal. But now I'm seeing it come down to 105 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: two and a half at some places. So I think 106 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: it's either someone has a very strong opinion on Buffalo 107 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: or they really want Texas. They really want the Texans 108 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: under the field goal. So it might might just kind 109 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: of be a one of those market moves where they 110 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: try to push it down and then kind of double 111 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: back now that it's moved the other way. 112 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 113 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: Right, when I'm looking at the various books that are 114 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: available over at bettingpros dot com. You've got everybody at 115 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: three except bet. MGM is at three and a half 116 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: and points Bet is at two and a half, which, 117 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: by the way, I like, you know. 118 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: The uniformity of among the books. I kind of like it. 119 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: When there are you know, different engine differences in the 120 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: various books here. It's not that often that you'll see 121 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: a full point. At least at this point. The vig 122 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: to your point, has kind of been moving in favor 123 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: of the Texans a little bit here. I saw it 124 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: earlier where you know, the vig to take the bills 125 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: at plus three was was different than it's right now, 126 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: basically suggesting that the line is moving towards sections. So 127 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: we'll see about that. I don't, I don't really, I 128 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: don't know. It strikes me as three is where it's 129 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: going to end up, just you know, I don't really Again, 130 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't see a lot of action on 131 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: this game one way or another, especially with the rest 132 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: of the playoff games. So it's not a game I 133 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: feel like that anybody's gonna feel great about trusting anybody 134 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: on either side of the ball. 135 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 3: So except for me, except for me, who actually hit 136 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: I hit the Texans again at minus two and a half. 137 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: Oh you did, Yeah, I bet them twice. And you know, 138 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: that's one thing a lot of betters need to realize too, 139 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: is that like, if you have a strong opinion about 140 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 3: a game and you bet it and then the line 141 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 3: moves kind of in your favor, then why not hit 142 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 3: it again if you still feel that way, you know, 143 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: don't Some people might second guess themselves and be, O, 144 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: what am I missing? But I feel pretty confident about 145 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 3: Houston here. The reason I do like you here is 146 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: their running game and that's been the one thing that 147 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: the Bills have struggled against. And Houston, you know, Houston 148 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: has that that those great wide receivers, guys like DeAndre Hoppins, 149 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: but it's kind of, you know, put this running game 150 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: in the shadows, and they've been very good. Carlos Hide 151 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 3: has been very good, Duke Johnson's been very good eighth 152 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: and yards per carry on the season. Then Deshaun Watson 153 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: can also break off those big games. If you look 154 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 3: at the Bills losses, they all came when they gave 155 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 3: up big running yards. They gave up a ton of 156 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: yards to the Patriots while they gave up one hundred 157 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: and eighteen yards to Baltimore. That's actually pretty good, but 158 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty seven yards to Cleveland two hundred 159 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 3: and eighteen yards that you remember that game against the 160 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles where they just rolled them. That's been the 161 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: one kind of weakness for them. That's been the the 162 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: their Achilles heel. It's been stopping to run. 163 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, that's that's where they struggle. 164 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: You know. 165 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: It's funny. 166 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: I mean, look, Carlos Hide did have a good season season. 167 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 3: He went over a thousand yards. That was probably the 168 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: most quiet thousand yard rusher of the year. 169 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: I gotta think, yeah, but it still doesn't strike me 170 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: as like, well, they've got this great ground game that 171 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: they're going to be able to pound away. You know, 172 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: I feel like you're playing the Titans. Okay, fine, Derrick 173 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: Henry is just gonna run all over them and stuff. 174 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: But it doesn't strike me as the Texans are going 175 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: to just be like, all right, we're just gonna run 176 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: it down. I'm not saying you're your pick is wrong 177 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form. I really don't have 178 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: a good read on this game yet. But it doesn't 179 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: strike me when I think about the way the game 180 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: matches up as being like, well, you know, the Texans 181 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: has this great ground game, so they're going to be 182 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: able to just die. 183 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: They have a consistent game. 184 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: I think I'll take you like them. 185 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: I think Carlos Hygat is the most consistent running back, 186 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: even if you look back of those days with San Francisco, 187 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: like I didn't get a whole lot of love, but 188 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: he always showed up. 189 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got him for for basically nothing after 190 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: giving up a decent haul for Duke Johnson. And to 191 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: be clear, you like it at three and a half 192 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: as well? Or are you basically three and lower? 193 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: You like to well, I I I'm you know, it's 194 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: all about getting the best of the number three and 195 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: a half. I'm not going to bet it again. Yeah, 196 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: three and a half is tricky, but yeah, I liked 197 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: I like that. I thought it was going to move. 198 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,119 Speaker 3: It was more kind of a play to get ahead 199 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: of the market. And then I really like him at 200 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: two and a half. I'll take them under the field 201 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: goal for sure. 202 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: All right. 203 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: Let's move on then to the next game, Titans at 204 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: the Patriots. Patriots currently laying four and a half with 205 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: the total at forty three and a half. Now, this 206 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: has dropped a little bit from the open. I saw 207 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: it at five and a half when it was opening, 208 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: down from five also earlier, the total has ticked up 209 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: a couple of points. I saw it open at forty 210 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: one and a half, so it's moved a little bit here. 211 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 2: Look the Titans, they've looked, I mean, much more confident, 212 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 2: obviously with Ryan tannel The defense is good enough to 213 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: get by, particularly their run defense, which is very strong. 214 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: Their offense has been opening it up. We know what 215 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: Derek Henry does late in the season. He wins the 216 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: rushing title yesterday on that huge run. AJ Brown has 217 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: really developed with Ryan Tannehal. And meanwhile we were talking 218 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: about it. The Patriots looked basically as bad as we've 219 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: seen them over the last several seasons. They have one 220 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: reliable wide receiver Julian Edelman who's banged up. Brady doesn't 221 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: look the same. On defense, they're strong, but you just 222 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: need to watch yesterday to see how beatable they are. 223 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: The running game to be fair well, not a strength 224 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: all season. Has been coming on a little bit here 225 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: lately in recent games, and you know they like to 226 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: go to James White in the playoffs. How do you 227 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: see this one Patriots saying four and a half with 228 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: the total of forty three and a half. 229 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, some of the maybe the fear, like the Boogeyman's 230 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: kind of lost his fear. Teams aren't afraid of the 231 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 3: Patriots anymore, and teams aren't afraid of Belichick anymore. I 232 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: mean they're figuring out this defense. He's had good success 233 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 3: over assistance in the past, but that, you know, that's 234 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: kind of waned a bit. He had met Patricia did 235 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: well with against the Lions against some Bill O'Brien beat him. 236 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 3: This year, Flores goes ahead and beats him. And now 237 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: Vrabel is not an assistant but a pupil nonetheless, and 238 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 3: he takes on Vrabel. Here. You know that Tennessee run 239 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: defense one of the top in DVOA, and this Patriots 240 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 3: defense or offense has been really really leaning on the run. 241 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 3: I write a bet now, bet later article, and I 242 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: looked at the total on this one and it was 243 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: ticking upwards, and I thought, well, if you like the 244 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: under in this one, he waited out and see how 245 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: high it can go. And it went to forty four, 246 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: got bought back down. On the under to forty three 247 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 3: and a half. I think I think that's kind of 248 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 3: where you got to bet that under. Right now, both 249 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: teams have kind of been on an overtear. But I mean, 250 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: if you look at both teams, the backbone is the defense. 251 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 3: Regardless of what Tannehill has done and what Derrick Henry 252 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: has done, the backbone has been the defense. That's my 253 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: father calling me to tell me to complain about Shermer firing. 254 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 3: He's a giant fan. 255 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: Oh, and he's complaining about it. 256 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean's although he'll be calling for Tom Coslin 257 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: to come back. 258 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: Hey, is your boy still around? By the way, has 259 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: Garrett been let go yet? Or is he still around? 260 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: He's been around like eight years? 261 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: Oh, I know that's what I'm saying. 262 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 3: Man, that guy. Not to get off on a tangent here, 263 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: but the guy has he ruined the role like he 264 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: ruined those years. He spoiled those Romo Witten, des Bryant 265 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: DeMarcus Ware years. 266 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, we only have right, we only 267 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: have four games. Man. 268 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: You can go off on as many tangents as you want, 269 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: and but yeah, I have just been waiting for it 270 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: to come across. Uh, my board here to tell me 271 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 2: that Garrett's been fired and I haven't seen it yet. 272 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: Well, they don't have to fire them. They can just 273 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: let him expire. They could be yes the vine, right, 274 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: But the problem is, if you're waiting for that to happen, 275 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: then you know you might miss your pick of the litter. Yeah, 276 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: who they're going to land? I have no idea who 277 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 3: the Yeah, I have no clue. 278 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: Well, all right, anyway, so look, you know, I'm interested 279 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: to see how this game's bet by the way, because 280 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: the Patriots, I mean, they've obviously they've been one of 281 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 2: the most public teams of the last decade. But I 282 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 2: don't understand, even John Q Public how we can look 283 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: at this team and be like, yeah, I feel good 284 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 2: about backing this team laying more than a field goal. 285 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: To your point, by the way, about the under, I've 286 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: already hit the under at forty three and a half. 287 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: I do like it. It's going to be. 288 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: Cold, yeah, you know, I think both teams are going 289 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: to you know that the Patriots are not going they 290 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: they're incapable of just opening it up, you know, on offense. 291 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: I think they're going to try to lean on their defense. 292 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: You know, do what they can on the ground. All 293 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: the Titans are tough, so I I do think this 294 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 2: is a game that lends itself to the under, and 295 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: at forty three and a half, I agree. I think 296 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: that's probably about as high as it's going to get run. 297 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 3: And then went run heavy last year in the playoffs too, 298 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: Zony Michelle just had that massive run in the postseason, right, 299 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: you know that's the way they went last year too. 300 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's how I say it on the total, though, 301 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. This is a round where my guess 302 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: is it'll end up. But I have no idea, you know. 303 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: I ordinarily I look at the game and I think 304 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: the Titans can easily win this game, I mean without 305 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 2: a doubt. 306 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: But again, I. 307 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: Probably don't have enough in me to bet against the 308 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: Patriots at home in the playoffs at this point. 309 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Titans very much a team that no one wants 310 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: to play right now too. 311 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, I'm sure everybody in the AFC was 312 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: rooting for the Steelers or the Raiders to somehow make 313 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: it in. But yeah, Titans are a tough team, so 314 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: this will be a good game as well the next one, 315 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: which is you know, we've got a lot of intriguing 316 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 2: storylines here with the Vikings at the Saints line's holding 317 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: steady here at minus eight, with the total at forty eight, 318 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 2: that's actually been trickling up a little bit. I saw 319 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: that open and closer to around forty six. I don't 320 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: know what they you know, over under will be on 321 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: the you know, articles written about the Minnesota miracle, whatever 322 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: it is. I will take the over on it because 323 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 2: it's going to be talking about. 324 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: I said, I said on my bet. Now it is 325 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 3: like the numb the over under on replays of the 326 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: Minnesota correct, this miracle is going to be one hundred thousand. 327 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. 328 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 2: This is a really interesting game because the Saints have 329 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: been absolutely rolling lately. They might be the best team 330 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: in the NFC despite not having a buye. You know, 331 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: they lost Sheldon Rankins, kind of their decimated linebacker. I 332 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 2: was kind of waiting for their run defense to really 333 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 2: kind of fall off, but it's held together relatively well. 334 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: And the last thing we saw from the Minnesota starters 335 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: was this disgusting performance against the Packers, right where they 336 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: had a really big chance and they could do absolutely nothing. 337 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: Now they are probably going to get Dalvin Cook back here. 338 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: This strikes me. I don't know about you. You know, 339 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: I'm surprised. 340 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 2: Hasn't moved yet. This strikes me as the number that's 341 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: going to move. I just see the public going after 342 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: the Saints as, Yeah. 343 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: This one's gonna move, and it's gonna move quick once 344 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: the Saints money comes in, because they some places open 345 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: seven and a half on this, and they went right 346 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: to eight. Most places open eight, so they open up 347 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: that dead number and it allows them a lot of 348 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: flexibility to really move off that. So they'll move very 349 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 3: quickly from an eight to a nine, no problem. It's 350 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: not like moving like a six and a half to 351 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: a seven and a half or anything like that. Right Like, 352 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: they'll move. They'll move that full point just because it 353 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: moves through the dead number of chances of landing on 354 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: it is not, you know, not that likely. But like 355 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 3: you said, I mean, everything seems to be playing into 356 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: the Saints. They've outscored their last three opponents one hundred 357 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: and fourteen to forty five, just blowing through teams, and 358 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: then you know you've got that revenge angle. I think 359 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 3: the media is gonna pump puff it all up with 360 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: the way that that new Orleans was that two years ago, 361 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: and then last year they had the blown pass interference call. 362 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: So you know, do they really need extra motivation to 363 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: win a playoff game. I don't know, but they're good. 364 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: They are going to build that up. And like you said, 365 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 3: then they had the green Bay game. Minnesota looked terrible 366 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: in that one. That was a must win game. A 367 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 3: lot of people don't want to trust trust Kirk cut here, 368 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: and he was playing quite well too up until that 369 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: last came against against green Bay. 370 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he really was this one. I mean, again, 371 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: this is probably their only playoff game. You never know, 372 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: with the way things are going to break down, they'll 373 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: obviously be on the road if they win this one 374 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: in the divisional round. But yeah, this one, I don't know. 375 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: It just it kind of feels like the Saints, that 376 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: the place is going to be insane and the Saints 377 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: are going to go nuts. If you do like the Saints, 378 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: I think we're both in agreement. Get him now, because 379 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: I doubt that this ends up at mind saying not that. Again, 380 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: it's a dead number, so it doesn't it. 381 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: It's a terrible number. I mean, and I was talking 382 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: with Patrick Everson, who's our senior writer in Las Vegas 383 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: with this today, there's no you know, there's no shame 384 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: in buying down or buying up half a point or 385 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: or full points. You know, if you want, if you 386 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: think like Saints minus seven, if you don't mind laying 387 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 3: a little extra lumber, then go get Saints minus seven 388 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 3: right now, because it's gonna go in the other direction. 389 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good point. 390 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. And then then you know, if it gets up 391 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: to minus nine and you're like, oh, ten, the go 392 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 3: ahead and buy buy the extra point on Minnesota and 393 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: get that. Like I said, you don't mind laying the 394 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: extra number. 395 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, we don't talk about that probably as 396 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: much as we should, but certainly, you know, buying points 397 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: when it gets close to that key number can certainly 398 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: make a huge difference. So that's a good point here. 399 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Let's move on to our final game, Seahawks at Eagles. 400 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 2: This is this is a spread that's moved pretty significantly. 401 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: Seahawks are now minus two with the total of forty six. 402 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: I thought I could be wrong. I thought I saw 403 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: it open with the Eagles favored op. 404 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's jumped over the fence, all right. 405 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: So this is a rematch of a few weeks before 406 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 2: Seahawks won. I believe seventeen to nine. Seattle played pretty 407 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: well last night against the nine Ers overall, especially in 408 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: the second half. But you know they are coming off 409 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: back to back losses. Now they're much worse in the 410 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: playoffs on the road than they are at home. Eagles 411 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: take care of business in the game where they were 412 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: laying four and a half points to the Giants and 413 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: the sharp side really looked like it was the Giants. 414 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: Miles Sanders, sounds like it's gonna be okay here. But 415 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 2: if you can name three healthy pass catchers on the Eagles, 416 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 2: then you should probably quit your job in professional gambler 417 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: because they're just completely decimated. I'm sure the public is 418 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 2: going to continue to be all over the Seahawks in 419 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 2: this one, so I could see it moving more. What 420 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: do you think you're Seahawks slaying two total forty six. 421 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: I love the Eagles. I love the I like the 422 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: Eagles in the spot. I like them now that it's moved. 423 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 3: I agreed with the opening number where they were a favorite, 424 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 3: and now they've moved here. Carson Wentz is this is, 425 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 3: I mean, the first time since we've seen ever now 426 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: that he's been healthy heading into the postseason, and he's 427 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 3: playing some of his best football right now too. Yep, again, 428 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: you look back at that that Week twelve game in Philly, 429 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 3: the seventeen to nine terrible game. That was a bad 430 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 3: one for Wentz too. Two interceptions, I think he had 431 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 3: two fumbles too. Just a very terrible game. He was 432 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 3: missing his three top receivers. They had some issues on 433 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: the offensive line as well too. I'm not going to 434 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: put too much weight into that one, but I mean 435 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: if you look look what he's done here recently, last 436 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: three games of passer rating over one hundred and two. 437 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 3: And I want to say this is over his last 438 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: four games, he's passed for twelve hundred yards, seven touchdowns, 439 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 3: zero interceptions. He's playing his best football right now. Russell 440 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 3: Wilson for a long time looked like he was going 441 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: to be an MVP contender there with Labar Jackson, but 442 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 3: his numbers have come down in December. 443 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know they're dealing with a ton of 444 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: injuries on there absolute obviously all. 445 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: Everywhere for that team, and they lost some other guys 446 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: last night, So I mean there are both teams. I 447 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: said this is kind of the this is the mister 448 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 3: mister Bowl. This is take those broken wings and you 449 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: cover the one and a half. 450 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be interesting, but I think you know, again, 451 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: where we are right now doesn't really it's not going 452 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 2: to move too much. 453 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: But if you like the Eagles, you can probably wait. 454 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: I don't see it getting back to not that it 455 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: really matters that much, but I certainly don't see it 456 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: getting back to the Eagles being favored. But either way, 457 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: this is probably around where it's going to be, and 458 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: you like the Eagles, so that's interesting. I agree with 459 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: you completely Unwins. I've been so impressed with him, and 460 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 2: it's it's great to see because there there's been some 461 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: negative talk about him just generally with the injuries and 462 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: the fact that you know, obviously Nick Foles came in 463 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: and he's always done well when he came in, so 464 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 2: it is good to see. But yeah, this one, both 465 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: teams are really banged up here, so it will be 466 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: interesting to see how this one unfolds. 467 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those games where you almost want 468 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: to if, depending on your opinion, you want to start 469 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: digging into like who's practicing and what the coaches are saying, 470 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: and really get that locker room speak because once the 471 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 3: once the injury reports start rolling out Thursday and Friday, yeah, 472 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 3: that's where you're going to see the lines move a 473 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: little more. So you want to stay ahead of those. Well. 474 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: I guarantee you p Carrol's going to say that everybody 475 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: is doing great and everybody's going to be able to play, 476 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: because he is very optimistic fellow. 477 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: But we will see about that as it rolls up. 478 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 2: Before we move on, I want to tell everybody about 479 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: the sponsor of today's show, bet MGM, and specifically the 480 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: bet MGM Sports App. With the bet MGM Sports App, 481 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: you can place a bet right from your phone.

The 509 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: big and obvious favorite in the AFC is the Ravens. 510 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 2: They're at a ridiculous minus one ten, so it's basically 511 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 2: even money. The Chiefs are at plus two hundred, the 512 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 2: Patriots are at plus six point fifty, and then there's 513 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: a pretty big drop down to the Texans at plus 514 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 2: two thousand, the Titans at plus twenty five hundred, the 515 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 2: Bills at plus twenty eight hundred. We were talking about 516 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: it before we started recording. Neither one of us is 517 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: big into you know, AFC or NFC or those types 518 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: of futures. 519 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: But do any of those numbers strike you as particularly good, 520 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: particularly bad value, or anything like that. 521 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 3: I mean at this point that the values kind of 522 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 3: dried up anyway. Sure, But you know what, I've been big. 523 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: I've been big on the Texans for most of the year. 524 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: They had such a daunting schedule too. I did a 525 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 3: weekly spot bat article, and they like every second week 526 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 3: they fell into one of these situational spots that I 527 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 3: believe they had the toughest schedule by strength of schedule 528 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: as well too, and yet they still prevail. And I 529 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: like what they did all season. When Andrew Luck was 530 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: suddenly retired for the Colts, they got aggressive and they 531 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 3: went out and and they grabbed a bunch of guys, 532 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 3: knowing that this was going to be their best chance 533 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 3: at one making the playoffs and two maybe making a 534 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: good push towards the Super Bowl. So I don't mind 535 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 3: the Texans here at plus two thousand. 536 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough for me to see them ever getting 537 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: by I mean, obviously, you know, you're not expect them 538 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: to there at plus two thousand. It's tough for me 539 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: to ever see them getting by the Ravens, just with 540 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 2: how how destroyed they were against them. But you know, 541 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: I did like the Texans a lot in the preseason. 542 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 2: I kind of look, you know, you know, I'm a 543 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: notorious lover of the Buffalo Bills, and I realize that, 544 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna have to go on the road 545 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 2: three times, but I do feel like, you know, they 546 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: have the type of team that can win in these 547 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: cold conditions. They have a strong defense. Their run defense, 548 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 2: as you said, it's certainly you know, not good in 549 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: so with that, it's tough to see them beating the Ravens. 550 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: But again, they. 551 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: Played the Patriots really really tough, and they played the 552 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: Ravens really really tough. 553 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: They were inches away from tying to that game. 554 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 3: Yeah that's right there, last second drive there. 555 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: Right exactly. 556 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, them, So at twenty eight hundred, you know, probably 557 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: to the extent I had to take one, who would 558 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: be my favorite? It might be the Bills, although again, 559 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: the Titans are another team that you can see a 560 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: team with a strong run defense, who's really opening it 561 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 2: up with a really good running back. You know, with 562 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: those though, you know, but they're going to be on 563 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 2: the road the entire playoffs. It's really difficult to win, 564 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: you know, three road games essentially in the playoffs. So 565 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 2: if I was forced to choose one, it would probably 566 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: be my my favorite Buffalo Bills, but I also like 567 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of the Titans. On the other side, 568 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: the odds are not nearly as long for any of 569 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: these teams. It's much more wide open. Forty nine Ers 570 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: at plus one fifty, Saints at plus two, forty Packers 571 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 2: at plus four hundred. Interesting that the Saints have shorter 572 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 2: odds than the Packers, even though the Packers have a 573 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: buye coming in. The Eagles at plus twelve hundred, Seahawks 574 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 2: also at plus twelve hundred, and the Vikings at plus 575 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: sixteen hundred. Any of those strike your fancy. 576 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm surprised the Vikings are so far back, you know, 577 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 3: given some of the injured concerns for the Eagles and 578 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 3: the Seahawks. Yeah, I'm surprised. I'm surprised the Vikings are 579 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: that far back off the pace and they're a team 580 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: that they're you know, their defense the last few years 581 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 3: has been among the best in the NFL and just 582 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: kind of really didn't live up to those standards this year. 583 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: But they do have some dynamic receivers, they have a 584 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: great rushing attack. You know, if the defense can kind 585 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 3: of pull itself together, they could be a very very 586 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 3: dangerous team. And long it's set sixteen. 587 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: To one, and I think I mean the Saints at 588 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 4: whether they plus two forty correct it not bad two 589 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 4: to one, I guess. 590 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean those are all you know, for me 591 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 2: as well, the two that kind of I got. Look, 592 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 2: I do not expect the Vikings to be able to 593 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: survive this weekend, but I think if they do, they 594 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 2: could go someplace. I mean, their offense is, especially if 595 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: Cook is healthy, it can be dynamic, really can. And 596 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: the defense, you know, again, their past defense in particularly 597 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: has been really suspect this whole year, but their run 598 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 2: defense has remained relatively constant and strong, and I think 599 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: that that's really important when you're talking about going up 600 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 2: against teams like the Packers, even though they laid an 601 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: egg in this past one like the forty nine, I 602 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: do think that that's a little more important, so I agree, And. 603 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Saints. Frankly, I think the Saints are going. 604 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: To come out of the NFC, even though they're gonna 605 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: have to go on the road probably for two of 606 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 2: the games. So I agree at plus two forty, I 607 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: kind of like them. But again, like you said, most 608 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 2: of the value has kind of been taken out of 609 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 2: all of these, so you know, we'll have to see. 610 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 2: But again, but if one, probably the Vikings. Before we 611 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: finish up, I want to remind everyone about our giveaway. 612 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 2: It's as signed Michael Thomas Saints helmet.

Ravens at plus two twenty, a 628 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: remarkable favorite coming in here. The forty nine Ers at 629 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: plus four hundred, Chiefs at four fifty, Saints at six hundred, 630 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: Packers at one thousand, Patriots at plus twelve hundred, Eagles 631 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: at plus twenty five hundred, Seahawks at plus twenty five hundred, 632 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: the Vikings and the Texans both at plus thirty three hundred, 633 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: the Titans at plus fifty five hundred, and no respect 634 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: to my bills at plus six thousand. I will say 635 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 2: one thing before I ask you if you like any 636 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: of them? Is that I said at the start. 637 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 3: That's again calling about the Giants. 638 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 2: He's so excited or mad or whatever it is about 639 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 2: the Giants. Still no word on whether or not Garrett 640 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: will be returning by the way. I'm monitoring that for you. 641 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: Just so you know, the Patriot I said I would 642 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 2: not you couldn't, you know, pay me to place a 643 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: better sametime the Patriots. I lied about that. I have 644 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: placed a small wager on the Pats to win the 645 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: Super Bowl just because I've thought about how miserable I'm 646 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: going to be if this happens, and I needed something 647 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 2: to console myself. So for me, it was sort of 648 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 2: worth it at that point to place bet. But that's 649 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: the only reason I don't expect it to happen. So Jason, 650 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: with those numbers, what do you think? 651 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 3: What I say the bye week trend? It's every Super 652 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 3: Bowl basically has a team with a bye week in 653 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 3: it either finished number one or number two. I think 654 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 3: that's the current trend. I can't I can't remember how 655 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 3: far back it goes, but those bye weeks have been very, 656 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 3: very vital. So that said, I mean, maybe a team 657 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 3: like the Saints, maybe they don't sneak in, and you 658 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: get a team like the Packers. It's Aaron Rodgers. The 659 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: offense is really starting to find it find its way. 660 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: I like the Packers defense because it is kind of, 661 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 3: you know, all or nothing kind of defense. They really 662 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: do go for broken and they can create some some 663 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: turnovers that can create some chaos out there that can 664 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: swing games. At plus one thousand, I don't know, it's 665 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 3: okay odds. I have a flyer from the beginning of 666 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 3: the season on them at twenty five to one, which 667 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 3: isn't too bad. But I mean, if you've got to 668 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 3: if you're kind of trusting that bye week trend, then 669 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: maybe maybe the Packers. But I think the Chiefs cannot 670 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 3: be overlooked as well too. The Chiefs defense. I mean, 671 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: they didn't play a whole lot of powerful offensive teams, 672 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 3: but the defense is starting to come around. Patrick Mahomes 673 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: is finally healthy. They went on that tear to be 674 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 3: too at the end of the season as well, and 675 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 3: then Arrowhead is just a tough place to go. So 676 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: I mean, as long as as long as they can 677 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 3: keep home field through the FC Championship game, they should 678 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 3: be all right. 679 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna need someone to knock off the Ravens 680 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: for that to happen, and then that's gonna be tough. 681 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: But I do enough full on the Ravens. 682 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I look, I like the Chiefs as well. 683 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: At plus four to fifty. 684 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: I really think that they're on the version of They 685 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 2: did sustain some injuries yesterday on defense. All these teams 686 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: frankly looked like they didn't really get through Week seventeen unscathed. 687 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: But at plus four fifty, I do like them as well. 688 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 2: I really think they're a scary team. I'm glad that 689 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: they got the buy so they can at least rest 690 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 2: up a little bit, get a little healthy. And again, 691 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 2: having that game in Arrowhead is tough. It's a good 692 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: point about the Packers, by the way, because I did 693 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: sort of poo poo them a little bit, and yet 694 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: they are not a very good team at the moment. 695 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: I you know, their defense, which started out really strong, 696 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: has really fallen off as the season went along. But again, 697 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, you know as much as you know he 698 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: he's he misses. I'll say he misses a few more 699 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: throws than I think that we've seen him. But he 700 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: still makes you watch the game every game he makes 701 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: three or four throws. 702 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 3: They went down to Detroit on Sunday and I instantly 703 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: live bet them money line to win. Yeah, sure enough 704 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: they came back and win the game. 705 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: No, I mean, I love it. 706 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 3: Never, never in doubt. It was just like it's gonna happen. 707 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: Great Now. 708 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: I did love the Lions getting twelve and a half 709 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: in that game, but yes, of course you knew they 710 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: were going to come back. And he's still you know, 711 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 2: one of, if you know, the best quarterbacks in the 712 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: game at this point, even if he's lost a little 713 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: bit of a step. So yeah, you know, a plus 714 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 2: a thousand given those odds, I don't hate that. 715 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 3: The futures market that I do like to play, or 716 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 3: maybe has a little added value, is those possible matchups. 717 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I think those almost puts you at 718 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 5: least when you get to the AFC championship game if 719 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 5: you've called a couple of those, okay, it puts you 720 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 5: in kind of a head situation when it comes to 721 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 5: those those championship games. So if you do have, if 722 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 5: you do have kind of both teams or maybe one 723 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 5: of those teams already in on that championship Sunday and 724 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 5: then you're waiting for that other team to come in. 725 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 5: I always like those kind of setting myself up for 726 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 5: those head situations. 727 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: As always, Jason, you think outside the box and you 728 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: have to value and I love it.
