Speaker 1: Morning to you, my friend. Listen, my head is swimming

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. I really want to get into these

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: games because numbers have moved in different ways. Games that

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: we really loved have gotten some attention, maybe from the

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: wise guys that we didn't expect. I have a lot

28
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,480

Speaker 1: nine kickoff is near, lots of opportunities. Let's not dilly dally.

44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 2: Sharp calls Hello, who's there? I'm talking Rain.

45
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Rain telephone range.

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: Somebody said maybe watching. Yeah, And a week of disagreement, Chad,

47
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: that's what it feels like.

48
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm not surprised.

49
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: There's people on both sides and a lot of disagreement.

50
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: A lot of guys think they know what's best, and

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: it's been rough where it's like I had a couple

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: of games I really believed in this week, leaking a

53
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: little confident confidence on a couple of them just because

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: I know who's coming on the other side, and you know,

55
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: it'd be a good week that if we weren't doing

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: the show, I probably would take off, no joke. It's

57
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: just a week where there's just so much disagreement. We've

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: had such a good run, especially myself this year. It's like, Man,

59
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to be in this drama. You know,

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: just the first game we're gonna talk about this Miami

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs game. I don't know why you would put six

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: figures on this game if you're a big time better, Like,

63
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: there's just so many unknowns. They're in Germany. Miami's had injuries,

64
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: they have guys coming back, The Chiefs have injuries. We

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: don't know who's back and who's gonna be playing this one.

66
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: And I knew there was going to be some sharps

67
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: and professionals coming in on Miami. When I talked to

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: the you know, the group that is coming in heavy

69
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: on Miami. They really liked their position there. They really

70
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: liked this Miami team. They like they like the two

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: and a half, they like the two, and they're a

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: big believer that Miami is the better team in this matchup.

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: And I think me and you are still from the

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: standpoint of we back Mahomes in these spots if you

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: just need him to win the game. At minus one

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: and a half, I can't avoid it. Like even all

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: yesterday I was trying to fight it and be like

78
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: now I'm coming around in Miami. I just I can't

79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: get there. I mean, I think Brady and Belichick, I'll

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: put them at number one. There's no one better at

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: beating you and the clock. Like the best smartest minds

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: of football. They're not playing you, They're playing the clock.

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: No one's better that than the Chiefs. The Chiefs if

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: they have the ball last Mahomes, who does it better

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: than killing that final five minutes and just kicking the

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: field won't win in the game. So I can't believe

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: these guys are betting so heavy against Mahomes in the

88
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: spot we might be stepping in with Seattle. I think

89
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: we both knew that it's up to six now despite

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: a lot of the tickets, allow the money pouring in

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: on them. How do we avoid it? Chat another game

92
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: where it's like, I wish we could just avoid it.

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if we can. You know. Shockingly, another

94
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: really smart group came in, Have you on the Washington

95
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: even though Washington's moved their two best pass rushers. They

96
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: like Washington against New England.

97
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: I love the Washington.

98
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a ton of points against New England. Like

99
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: that's my view. It's like, yeah, it's a trap, like

100
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: they want you to take all those points of Washington.

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: That is a lot of points against New England. That's

102
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: just one of the stinkiest lines this week. The boys

103
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: love the Saints. We already missed the boat on that,

104
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: Like we talked about it with the backup quarterback, I

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: try to get ahead of with fields. They've just been

106
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: betting NonStop. I feel like that's every week though, right

107
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: is it? Every week? We talk about the Saints numbers

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: move than being bigger favorite. So yes, they've now gone

109
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: from six to eight and a half. And that's that's

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: some real money there, moving that number all the way

111
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: up because the Saints are bad, like them to be

112
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: up to eight and a half. I want to take

113
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: it so bad, Chad, I want to take it so bad,

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: but I know better, and brother.

115
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: Brother, it's in the script down the list. It's gonna

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: be hard not to bet the Bears at eight and

117
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: a half, but please continue.

118
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: Cowboys. A lot of pros love the Cowboys, and that

119
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: was another game I was split on where I thought

120
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: we would be on the Cowboys. You like the Eagles.

121
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: I kind of like the Eagles. I think it's just

122
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: it's just the number is what it should be. I

123
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: make it three three and a half. It's just sitting

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: there exactly where it should be. The Bills, there's a

125
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: lot of trends that point to the Bills and me

126
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: and you are being super Chalky just going with the

127
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: Bengals there that they look like the best team last week.

128
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: Everyone's putting them back in their top five. You know,

129
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: it's this Joe Burrows back. We might be stepping in it.

130
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: And the last one is the Jets. We love it.

131
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: I don't care that all these guys love the Chargers.

132
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: They're all in on the Chargers. I know a really

133
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: smart group that came in heavy on the Chargers. That one,

134
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: honestly doesn't still fade me. I still love the Jets there.

135
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: I am happy to take the three and a half.

136
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: Most of my money right now is bet on the

137
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Jets of three and a half and the Panthers at

138
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: plus three. And I hate this week. So that's it

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 2: for sharp calls this week. It's just so much shit talking.

140
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: I can't take it. I think I told Chad I'm

141
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: not a big drinker. I went out and got after it.

142
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: On Halloween. There was a huge party here. You know.

143
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: I woke up every other hour just people calling me

144
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: just because there was just so much crazy line movement

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: on that Tuesday to Wednesday night. The biggest one a

146
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: game we're going to dive into is just this Miami

147
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs game. I just couldn't believe how opinionated people were

148
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: on it and how much money people are put on it.

149
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Where it's a game in Germany, I just would never

150
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: make this one of my bigger bets.

151
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, we can't put this game in the contest,

152
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: but it is too big of a game with too

153
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: much of an interesting narrative. As you mentioned, Evan has

154
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: been doing some on the ground reporting for what's happening

155
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: in Germany. We're going to bring him in special for

156
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: this game's breakdown. We got to start narrowing down the games.

157
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: We got to get to Foxhole, we got to get

158
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: to survivor Pick. We got to get to big balls

159
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: better the week. Lots of trades this week. The Commanders

160
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: unloaded their v line Montese sweat to the Bears, chase

161
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: down to the Niners. The Vikings traded for Josh Dobbs,

162
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: the Bills traded for Rausul Douglas. Seattle traded for Leonard Williams.

163
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke is starting for the Falcons, and of course

164
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders fire Josh McDaniels and they are now one

165
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against the Giants. So Miami

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: versus Kansas City in Germany. You and I love this.

167
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: On Sunday when it was Kansas City minus two, it

168
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: did go up to two and a half. Got that

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: back down. We still liked it. On Tuesday. I saw

170
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: you yesterday we were doing the Faves Film Room YouTube exclusive.

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: Go check it out. You did Geno Davis this week.

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: I did Trey Hendrickson. We're going to talk about those games.

173
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: You did not look good, And I said to you, dude,

174
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: what's going on? You're like and you we had a

175
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: Halloween hangover. You remember what you said when I asked

176
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: you why you looked so ragged.

177
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm living with the goddamn ghost.

178
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: You're living with a ghost. But also you were checking

179
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: that Miami Kansas City game NonStop, and your face about

180
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: how the line was moving and how sick it was

181
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: making you feel. And what did I say to you?

182
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: I just remember we had way too much confidence.

183
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: We're betting Mahomes to win. Yeah, we have zero evidence

184
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: not to bet on Kansas City and the homes for

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: all the things you just said. I know there's sharp

186
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: groups coming in, but by the way, where's sharp sometimes too?

187
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: I do not fear betting on Kansas City in this spot, I.

188
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: Know, And that's what's giving me fear. You're just so confident.

189
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: I hate it. You sound like them. I just I

190
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: don't know how these people can bet this game so confidently,

191
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: especially the Miami side. I'm not the biggest trend better.

192
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: I mean that trend that Evan gave us is incredible,

193
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: like nineteen and six under three points or as a dog,

194
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: It's like, how do we not do it? So I

195
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: hate it, like I would have much more confidence if

196
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: this had gone to three, because that means a lot

197
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: of the pros were on this with us. I told

198
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: you it's a smart group man like to move this number,

199
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 2: especially when the books know every teaser everything's going to

200
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: start Sunday morning tied to the Chiefs. All the bets

201
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: are tied to the Chiefs. So that's what's giving me

202
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: pause here. It's like it's a really big standalone game,

203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: and I know the books are good, right they crushed

204
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: last week the Chiefs losing outright. This is our one

205
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: of our more public plays of the year. I'm so

206
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: happy we don't have to put this in the contest

207
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: because I just I told you, Guessdy I was pregnant

208
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 2: by out of my chiefs position. I haven't. I just

209
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: actually ended up putting a little bit more on it

210
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: at the minuts one and a half and good for you. Yeah,

211
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna trust my homes.

212
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins four and ten straight up versus teams above five hundred,

213
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: sixteen and seven straight up versus teams below five hundred.

214
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: They haven't beaten a team with a winning record since

215
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: they beat the Bills in Week three of last season.

216
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: Only two teams don't have a straight up win over

217
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: a team with a winning record in that span, Chicago Bears,

218
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Mammy Dolphins. And this is part of the logic that

219
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: is part of the logic we had on Tuesday. I'm

220
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: just not buying the hype. And so Evan, you're on

221
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: the ground, not literally, but you've got people do miss

222
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: your take on what's been happening with Germany as it

223
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: relates to weather and how it could impact this game.

224
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, just two things to think about. And I brought

225
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: this up before the call, so I wanted to kind of,

226
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: you know, bring in some two cents here. So wind

227
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: is an interesting factor in this game. So the total

228
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: was fifty one and a half down to fifty and

229
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: a half, but right now it looks like seventeen mile

230
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: an hour wins at the beginning of kickoff, going to

231
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: eighteen and nineteen potentially, which would be the windiest game

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: this season, any game, any team.

233
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: I think.

234
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: The thing that's interesting though, was the roof. So I've

235
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: been talking to a few people who I know actually

236
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: in Germany and trying to figure out the situation because

237
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: it kind of just depends roof is pushed in. Probably

238
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: only impacts field goals. We've been told roof not closed,

239
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: but probably doesn't impact passing as much if it's pushed in.

240
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: So I just something to think about, something to worry about.

241
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: Probably closer to kickoff will probably get more information. And

242
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: the second thing is, and I know Simon's actually mentioned

243
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: this before, but believe the Dolphins have actually been in

244
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: Germany all week while the Chiefs were flying a little

245
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: bit later. To me, that actually matters, and it has

246
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: mattered before, and I think it's good for the Dolphins.

247
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 3: So we'll see how much that impacts Kansas City. But

248
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: just the little things, especially in this type of game.

249
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: We're betting the Chiefs. As remind the NBA season has

250
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: officially tipped off. And you guys, you listeners, we want

257
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Evan to Germany and back in record time. We spare

258
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: no expense to get information to our listeners and watchers

259
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: here at the Action Network. All right, I just want

260
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: to be Washington at three and a half. I have

261
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: no faith in Bill Belichick, who's eighty two and ninety

262
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: six in his career without Tom Brady. I have even

263
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: less faith in Mac Jones, who the Pats wanted to trade,

264
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: but nobody fucking wants this guy. Like Washington is traded

265
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: away its most impactful defensive players, the lines barely moved.

266
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: It may be as suckers bet a huge pros Joe's game.

267
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: By the way, all the pros are on Washington, that

268
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: public is on New England. Here's a stat I took

269
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: from Raybaud, who also like New England, and we like

270
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: it when we're on the same side as Raybond, which

271
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: worries me for a lot of our picks today. He

272
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: said this on the Action Network podcast, which you can

273
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: go listen to or check out the Sunday six pack

274
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Road Underdogs of less than a touchdown Washington

275
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Commanders against the team that averages less than eighteen points

276
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: per game, New England Patriots. They are sixty four percent

277
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: against the spread the past two days to sample size

278
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the nearly three hundred games. What are we doing here?

279
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: You say we're walking into a trap. I say we're

280
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: getting an opportunity.

281
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: I say you are, now we are? You are Chad.

282
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: Chad has a understand how how the money works. So

283
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 2: this this open at two and a half. It's three

284
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: and a half. Tell me again where the sharp money is, Chad.

285
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: Sharp money's on Washington, New England.

286
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: If the number is going from two and a half

287
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: up to three and a half, it crossed two key numbers.

288
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: It's the professionals have come in on New England. So yeah,

289
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: I told you it's a split week. There's gonna be

290
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: people in Washington, There's gonna be people in New England.

291
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: I'm dug in. I've already bet this heavily at the

292
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: three with New England. I haven't let the three and

293
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: a half scare me off. I'll bet it if I

294
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: need to. But I have enough enough threes out there.

295
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: I can just take the threes for the New England.

296
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with you. It's not a good feeling, Chad, Like,

297
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: do I want to be taking Mac Jones a favorite? Hell? No,

298
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: the guy sucks. Like everything you just said is so

299
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: damn true. I don't. I don't feel good about it.

300
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: But I'm just playing the spot, playing the number. And

301
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: Washington just had a really intense, hard fog game against

302
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles and they fell short. Now they're traveling up

303
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: to New England in the freezing cold. It's just a

304
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: bad spot for Washington. Like I can't say it enough.

305
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: It's like you sell your best two pass rushers and

306
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: now you need them, and you needed them in this game.

307
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: Like the fact that Washington is bad. Their defense is

308
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: really bad. We've talked all season how bad their defense is.

309
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: They've gotten rid of the only good thing on that defense.

310
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: Their two best pass rushers are gone. Maybe Sam has

311
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: a great game against Belichick's defense. It's just I have

312
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: to back Bill here catching three against a bad head

313
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: coach and Rivera and just a bad team in Washington

314
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: that they play the Eagle stuff, but everyone else it

315
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: seems like they're just bad again. So I wish I

316
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: could get there with you in Washington. I just can't.

317
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let the three and a half scare them,

318
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: especially if it's in my contest. If I like New England,

319
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: I'll just end up taking them. But I'm with you.

320
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: It's never fun going against Chris and backing the Patriots

321
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: as a favorite. It's just it's a gross feeling, but

322
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: it feels like it's the right move this week.

323
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: It's one of the growth You keep saying it's the

324
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: right move, but you like, we know Washington's defense is bad,

325
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: but all of the trends about specific coaches, specific spots

326
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: and teams in numbers in this spot, Ron Rivera don't

327
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: forget as much as we don't like him, and we're

328
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: angry that he did not go for two last week

329
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: to give us an easy to give us the cover

330
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: and the win when we had it at six and

331
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: a half and better at seven. He's the one of

332
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: the most profitable coaches the past twenty years against the spread,

333
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: Tomlin Harbaugh. I think it was Vrabel and Rivera. So

334
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: like you keep telling me New England it's the right

335
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: spot and the right move, but all the evidence is

336
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: to the contrary.

337
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: What's the evidence your trends?

338
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Oh, don't get don't. Don't all of a sudden belittle

339
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: the trends Matt Jones is doing.

340
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: You're saying twenty years' Ron Rivera. It's like, what are

341
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: we doing? We're talking about when Roun and Verd cam

342
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: Newton or when he had the green Lizard Taylor Heineke

343
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: last year. No, No, it's a bit weird.

344
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: No, No, we can't be selective about defining when the

345
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: trends work for us. We can decide we don't like

346
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: that trend.

347
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: Yes you can, Chad. That's the whole point of trends. Brother,

348
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: use trends when it benefits yourself.

349
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: The trend just because you don't like it in this spot.

350
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're going to put Washington the contest.

351
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard anything about New England that makes

352
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: me say, oh, yeah, it's the right spot for New England.

353
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: You did I told you I like New England. That

354
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: should tell you it's the right spot, brother God, And

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: what are we doing here?

356
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm an evidenced based human scientologists need facts, Simon.

357
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 2: It takes no Bravery taking Washington here at plus three

358
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: and a half. Chad Bravery will take New England and

359
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 2: minus three and a half? They what are they? Two

360
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: and five? They're the worst teams on football. Man, It's

361
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: just that's my whole read here. It's just like I

362
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 2: don't trust the books. The books aren't our friends. I'll

363
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: say it all the time. And it's a little stinky

364
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: this line, the fact that it's up to three and

365
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: a half. There's just something here I don't like about it.

366
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna find consensus on this word.

367
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: So Tampa Bay at Houston, we liked Tampa two and

368
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: a half. I'm getting a little antsy about it. Tampa

369
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: is the fourth luckiest team in the NFL per Our

370
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: luck Rakings, Raybaund loves Houston. Stucky loves Houston.

371
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: Is that what I'm gonna do all week is just

372
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: are you gonna talk about what the Sunday six pack

373
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: guys like? And we just go on the other side

374
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: maybe maybe they do. Last week, man, Mitchell, jump in

375
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: real quick.

376
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: I know how competitive you are, and I know you

377
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: remember everything, so you know what they did.

378
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: I just know they didn't do better than us. And

379
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 2: now you're all in on them.

380
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: Hey, Chris and Stucky, who do the Sunday six pack?

381
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: As part of the Thursday Action Network Podcast NFL episode

382
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 4: They went three and three last week, but they are

383
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: four games over five hundred for the year, and as

384
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 4: a reminder, make them lock in their picks on Wednesday afternoon.

385
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: You guys pick on Sundays and you guys get contest lines,

386
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: So just everybody cool it.

387
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: Every single week, everyone is so angry. Tito is so upset.

388
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: He's like, why are we fighting? We're family. Everybody loves everybody.

389
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: I just I love Chad. But if every number chants

390
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: can be like and the other guys are on the

391
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: other side of this one, it's like, Okay, it's a

392
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: split week. People are gonna bet opposite sides. Brother, That's

393
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: my point.

394
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: It's a very challenging week. Tell me what's gross?

395
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: Isn't that? Isn't that the whole brand of the show?

396
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah it is, So what's the gross? Pick? Here? Is

397
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 2: it is it taking CJ or is it taking the

398
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: shitty ass lucky Bucks team at plus two and a half?

399
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: Like the I told you, I think the book's out

400
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: on CJ. Could be wrong. Maybe Todd Bowles is a

401
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: fucking idiot and Tampa is just is a bad defense now,

402
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, we could be walking into it. It's

403
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: just it's another number that feels like it's too high.

404
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: If this was I don't know, a month ago, I

405
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: probably would be on Houston. But now we're a month

406
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: in and just this Bucks team defensively, I think they're

407
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: gonna have an advantage over this Houston team. So yeah,

408
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: it's tough. Chad. Obviously, I wish this was plus three.

409
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: It's plus two and a half. What can we do?

410
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the two and a half here

411
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: with the Bucks.

412
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Well, look, I already bet the Bucks at two and

413
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: a half. I'm not afraid of this one.

414
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm always I'll be honest.

415
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: I feel like this one doesn't give me pause in

416
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: the way like Washington, the way New England would. I

417
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: feel like we're getting a decent number on two teams

418
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: that are so so Texans. What I've seen from CJ

419
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Stroud the past couple of weeks hasn't been as good,

420
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: and three games after his hot start, he's pretty much

421
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: a mediocre quarterback and his numbers bear that, which are

422
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: not all that different than Baker Mayfield. It's my take

423
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: on that game.

424
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked that I've sent up be in

425
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 2: one of our five Sunday Morning It's it's just a

426
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: good number in a good spot for the Bucks.

427
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: We still owe a foxhole, we still owe a big

428
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: balls bet of the Week Arizona Cleland. We were waiting

429
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger on this until we heard about

430
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. According to practice reports, Clayton Tune, former Houston quarterback,

431
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: University of got all the first string reps on Wednesday.

432
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Murray was a full participant, but was with the practice squad.

433
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: We're kind of leaning Cleveland here. I think the only

434
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: thing that's holding us back is the status of Murray.

435
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: And I saw Watson practice yesterday and looked alright, which

436
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: would be, you know, not the biggest deal. Obviously, he's

437
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: been crap all season, but at least we know he

438
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: won't turn them ball over as much as PJ. Walker does.

439
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, another game, Like I just I feel no

440
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: confidence in but it feels like we have to play

441
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 2: Cleveland Arizona. They're going to be playing this kid in

442
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: his first road start against that Brown's defense. I just

443
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: don't know how they score. I don't know how they

444
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: get there. It's like it's really an uphill battle for

445
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: a Cardinals team that they've just they've lost so many

446
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: key policces to an already bad offense. It's a little weird.

447
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: The number hasn't moved up, especially with the news that

448
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: Watson might be coming back. So you know, there's a

449
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: couple books right now to have them at seven and

450
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: a half. You can get Cleveland right now at seven

451
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 2: and a half, which is pretty interesting. Like the fact

452
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 2: this number just hasn't gone up, it stayed kind of

453
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: low relatively speaking. I do like Cleveland obviously our sponsored book.

454
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: I wish it was the seven and a half, it's not.

455
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: It's still eight, which is a key number, so I

456
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: won't make that our foxhoul, but definitely like Cleveland. This

457
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: spot like it's rare for me to take these kind

458
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: of favorites, but it feels good, especially if Arizona got

459
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: such a ridiculous cover last week. Cleveland had a last

460
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: second loss. It just it lines up where Arizona's gonna

461
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: come in this Cleveland just is going to kill the

462
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: demolished them in this game. When we saw it earlier

463
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: this year, where you know, Tennessee came to play Cleveland

464
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: and their defenses rolled them. And that's what we expect

465
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: here with this Cleveland team against Arizona.

466
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I feel like we have two we have three contenders

467
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: for foxhol and big Balls, all of which are at

468
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: the bottom of the schedule. In the bottom of our

469
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: scripture Chicago at New Orleans, you're saying the wise guys

470
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: are on the Saints. We've seen that number move to

471
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: eight and a half. Derek Carr is just not good

472
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: as a favorite. This number is so big right now.

473
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm convinced the bearers are the right side here.

474
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: I like, I'm not going to buy into the Derek

475
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Carr hype because he finally had one good game against

476
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: a defense that is kind of cratering right now, seventeen

477
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: twenty nine and two against the spread as a favorite

478
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, he is now He's one five and

479
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: one as a favorite with the Saints. Never had a

480
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: year above five hundred as a favorite eight twenty four

481
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: and two when favored by three points or more over

482
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: the last three years, one nine and one again to

483
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: spread in this spot. How are we not taking the

484
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Bears here?

485
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll probably have regrets not touching it, but I

486
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: just I can't get there. Man. The Bears bears a stink.

487
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's there's no difference here, by the way,

488
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: between the Bears and the Patriots. We got a terrible quarterback,

489
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: a terrible team with a huge number against a team

490
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: that we have no faith in.

491
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 2: There's a million differences between these two teams. The Patriots

492
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: actually have a good defense. The Patriots actually have a

493
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: good head coach. Say what you want about Mac Jones.

494
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 2: He's not a deer in headlights like your guys quarterback is. Like,

495
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: there are some differences here, Chad, But I get you're

496
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: coming from. It's it's it's tough to defend the Patriots,

497
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: the worst team in football. But no, the Bears are

498
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: nowhere near the same team the Patriots are. I mean

499
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: just defensively, the Patriots are light years ahead of that. Man.

500
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: Like even talent wise, you guys have no talent defensively,

501
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: I mean you have good linebackers, but what the hell

502
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 2: has that done for you guys this season? Nothing? I'm

503
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: with you, it's a huge number. I should be on

504
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: the Bears. They're going to be probably the least bet dog, right,

505
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean, who's betting the Bears this week? Even when

506
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: I talked to a bunch of a professionals, like I

507
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: know there's a couple of guys who like the Bears

508
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: because what you just said, it's a huge number against

509
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 2: the Saints. But no one's like going crazy like you

510
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: gotta bet the Bears here. So I'm just gonna stay

511
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: away from it. I already missed the best of the

512
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: number on the Saints. This gets up to eight and

513
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: a half nine like it is now, and it's still

514
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: that on Sunday. I'll throw a little taste on it.

515
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: But I just can't make this my five.

516
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: Clearly, you're overrating Bill Belichick as a head coach. Here's

517
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: fourteen games under five hundred in his career without Tom Brady, Seattle,

518
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ Seattle at Baltimore.

519
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: This is awful, awful takes this morning chat. I'm loving it.

520
00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: You're just firing away.

521
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: Addle at Baltimore. We were talking about this game on Sunday.

522
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: I still have yet to bet this game because I

523
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: cannot get myself to pull the trigger. Yeah, it's so

524
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: fucking hard. It's gone from five and a half to six.

525
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: You're saying that the wise guys and the sharp calls

526
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: are coming in on Baltimore. It just it's like everything

527
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: says take take the Seahawks. Everything. This is a a

528
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson who is terrible as a favorite of three

529
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: or more. Pete Carroll is great as an underdog. Why

530
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: aren't we all in on Seattle here?

531
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's just because the Rams

532
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: have been playing so well, right, look, and that's the

533
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: thing they've just been They've played so well in the

534
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 2: Seahawks just seem like a team that you don't really

535
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: know you're getting. Like you said, I think we did

536
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: the film Slash with Gino. It's like he's been inconsistent.

537
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: You'll have are really good back to back drives and

538
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: then he'll just disappear for two quarters. You're not getting

539
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: that really with Lamar. This year, Lamar has been really consistent,

540
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: and you're right, like, I don't know, should this be

541
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: our big balls bet? It's it's hard where it's like

542
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: I can't I can't avoid it, can't avoid the Seattle.

543
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: But it feels like the same scenario when the Colts

544
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: came and played the Ravens, remember that, where everyone was

545
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 2: all over the Ravens and then somehow the Colts won

546
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: on like a last second field goal. And maybe that's

547
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: who this Ravens team is. They just beat the crap

548
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: out of you know, bad teams, where I guess they

549
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 2: did beat the crap out of the Lions too. Uh.

550
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: She can't really look at that point, but it's hard

551
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: because they really had been one of the best teams

552
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 2: in football, the Ravens defensively, offensively, everything. They're just so

553
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: well coached. It's crazy this is up to six. It

554
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: really is crazy, crazy.

555
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: That it's up to six. Also, don't forget in that

556
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: Lions game, the Ravens were not big favorites, right, the

557
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: number was much smaller. So like it was in it

558
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: was with in a range where I think they I

559
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: think it was two and a half if I'm not mistaken,

560
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: And we loved Baltimore and so that to me is

561
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: the range in which you want to bet on. Lamar

562
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Jaction a short favorite it's a bigger number, like when

563
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: it's over, when it's over three, it's just he hasn't

564
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: performed well. And that's exactly what happened with the Colts.

565
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: And Seattle's a better team than the Colts. And this

566
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: is a good spot for Pete Carroll. He's a good

567
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: coach and like the defense is pretty good. Did they

568
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: just get better with Leonard Williams, Like you know, all

569
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's all these things flowing around. We

570
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: are having a hard time pulling on the trigger. I

571
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: don't know if this is our big balls, because I

572
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: think our big balls is going to come from or Foxhole.

573
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: It's going to come from Eagles, Jets or the Bengals

574
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo game. Ah is my is my feeling. But this

575
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: is because this game is really hard. Also, I don't

576
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: know that, Like does it take big balls to bet

577
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: in this game?

578
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: I would say yeah, because that's like you you already

579
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: haven't you can't do it, and I'm scared to do it.

580
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: I would say yeah. And a lovely priest that kind

581
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: of hates us said, depends what contest number we get

582
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: for this one, Like I know we we uh we

583
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: it'd be hard for us to skip it at six

584
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: and a half in the contest, like that's a big,

585
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: big number. But like I say all the time, the

586
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: books are not our friends, and this number is stinky.

587
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: I assume it would be three and a half by kickoff,

588
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: not alway if the six, like that's such a key number.

589
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 2: I'm looking at our site on our app right now

590
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: and it says like all the money is on Seattle

591
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: and it just keeps going up. Uh not good, not good.

592
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: So that's terrible it is. It is weird when a

593
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: five and two team is catching six. I don't know

594
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 2: what to deal with it. So I'm cool that on

595
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: making our big balls back because I'm just so lost

596
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: in this number. But I have taken a bunch of

597
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: sixes like I took a bunch of five and a half.

598
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: So now I'm taking a bunch of sixes and not

599
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: feeling great right now. But I don't know what I'm missing.

600
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm over looking to see Seattle team,

601
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: what the books you're seeing here? But clearly they have

602
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: the reason for moving this all up to six, and

603
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably learn the hard way.

604
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: Comes Sunday, Minnesota, Atlanta. I apologize. We can't give people

605
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: a consensus like a hardcore yes, we love it, Like

606
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what we're putting in the contest

607
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: right now. Like it's it's a really hard fucking week.

608
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: It's a brutal week. Minnesota at Atlanta. So this number

609
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: is at five. Atlanta Falcons are favored by five. Taylor

610
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: Heineke's in. We got Jared Hall playing quarterback for the Vikings,

611
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: probably his first career start. The only reason I think

612
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: I like Minnesota here is Taylor Heineke is a favorite.

613
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: It is just not the same as Taylor Heinekes a

614
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: dog like the variants, and what he can do when

615
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: he's trying to come back versus trying to hold the

616
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: lead and making a stupid pass when they should be

617
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, throwing it out of bounds. Is that is

618
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke. And here's a stat which has been a

619
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: guiding light for us the past few weeks. Atlanta started

620
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: as an underdog. They are now the favorite teams in

621
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: that spot forty three eighty three against the spread since

622
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. It's helped us avoid losses this year, maybe

623
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: not getting wins, but it helped us avoid losses.

624
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got no read on it. I have no

625
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: idea Minnesota. I think I'm with you chat where it's like,

626
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: I guess I'll take the four and a half just

627
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: because they're the dog and like you said, who is Heineke,

628
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: you'd be catching that many points. But I'm with you.

629
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: I got no no read on this game whatsoever.

630
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: India Carolina was Simon says, you had Carolina plus two

631
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: and a half. Another game, Indie open is the dog

632
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: and is now the favorite. I feel great about this one,

633
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: right I loved Bryce Young looked much better against the Texans.

634
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: The play calling was much better against the Texans. They're

635
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: moving them out of the pocket, They're moving faster. I

636
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: don't think this Colts defense is very good right now?

637
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Do you have anything to add?

638
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: No, you could grab the three. There's still one out there,

639
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: go grab it. It's just it's a spot play, like

640
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: we think the Carolina Panthers defense. They play way better

641
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: at home than offensively. I loved what I saw from

642
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: their new you know, the new The new play caller

643
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: to me was a big deal. I talked about all

644
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: the motion I saw. In fact, they're getting Bryce Shong

645
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: outside the pocket. Like, I just I loved all those

646
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: things I saw. And you know this, this Colts team

647
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: has been incredible this year. Offensive. I think they're the

648
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: only team of football. I'll have to go back and look,

649
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure they've scored more than twenty points

650
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: or twenty points or more in every game this season,

651
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: which is crazy. Like they've had huge injuries to Anthony,

652
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: we're just in their number one quarterback, brought in Minshew,

653
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: and somehow the offense is still producing at a high level.

654
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: Pretty incredible for the Colts and their head coach, which

655
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: we talk all the time like this, this guy is

656
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: a great play caller. So we're pretty much betting at

657
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: the Panthers defense, which they've done all year, show up

658
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: at home, is going to show up again. And I

659
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: love the two and a half. I think it's such

660
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: a key number. Maybe they'll lose this game. Okay, maybe

661
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: they will this Panthers team, but the fact that you

662
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: get three it right now still a couple of books.

663
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: It's like, how do you not grab that number on

664
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: this team that just plays better at home against a

665
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: team in Indy that they've not that they've been waiting

666
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: for a letdown game. But we've kind of seen it

667
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: where they've struggled against good defenses like they're you can

668
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 2: go and look on paper what they do against you know,

669
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm not even to say Cleveland's a bad defense. I mean,

670
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: they did whatever they want against Cleveland, but teams that

671
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: run zone and teams that run man, the splits for

672
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: Minshew are huge. So Panthers at home defense, Chad, this

673
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 2: is what I get to. We'll have in the contest

674
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: at two and a half, even though the best number

675
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: out there is three. We only play contest lines here,

676
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: so give me the two and a half.

677
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually feel really good about this one. You're right.

678
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: Cult are the only team to score twenty points in

679
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: every game this season, nine straight games. It's the second longest.

680
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: The second longest streak right now is the Jaguars with

681
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: five games. All Right, we're getting into Foxhole, big balls territory.

682
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: Dallas at Philadelphia Eagles are a three point favorite. I'm

683
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: a little squeamish on this. This was my exact decision.

684
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: I know you've been waffling on this too. We've got

685
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot of noise on both sides of this game,

686
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: with people liking Dallas a lot right now, what we're

687
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: hearing statistically, what they like about Dallas in uh, how

688
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy has been calling plays for Dallas the past few games.

689
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: Much more aggressive, much fewer runs on first down. Eagle's

690
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: third luckiest team in the NFL for the luck rankings.

691
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: And then Evan shared this, Dak is twenty five and

692
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: ten against the spread versus the NFC East. All that set,

693
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: all that set, fly, Eagles Fly.

694
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on it, but like Chad knows,

695
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm a little agitani about this one. I

696
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: don't think there's much value on the number. And I'm

697
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: a little worried about Hurts his injury, a little worried

698
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: about the Eagles secondary, but I feel like the Eagles

699
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 2: have such a huge advantage playing at home. Dak at Philly,

700
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: I know he's played well against us, but we kind

701
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: of had like a down you know, not down run,

702
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 2: but like we just we just have an consistent consistency

703
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: at the QB position during Dak's tenure. So, yeah, we

704
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: won Super Bowl and then Wentz kind of fell off

705
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 2: a cliff there. We had a couple of dark years

706
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: there where he racked up the wins against us. I

707
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: am shocked this number hasn't gone up to three and

708
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: a half. I did think more money would come in

709
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: on the Eagles and the public would come in on

710
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: the Eagles, and they kind of have, but it's held firm.

711
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: But it feels like just the same scenario when we

712
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: had the Dolphins, right the I thought everyone in the

713
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: world was gonna come in on Miami against the Eagles,

714
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: and you know, by game time they really hadn't. All

715
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: the money was coming down the Eagles, and the books

716
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: kind of held firm at the number. And you know,

717
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles what, they beat him by two touchdowns, so

718
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: hoping for the same result. I'm with Chad, and like

719
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a little worried that this is getting

720
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: up three and a half in our contest, which is

721
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: gonna be another tough conversation to have. But uh yeah,

722
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 2: Eagles coaching wise, talent wise, the better team. Jalen Carter's

723
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: back as well. He practiced in full yesterday, which is

724
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: a big deal have him back plugging up the middle. Yeah, Chad,

725
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get there with you. It's just right now,

726
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: this is this is not one of my bigger bets

727
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: of the week, Like I do have money on the Eagles,

728
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: but I am hesitant putting more down on it, just

729
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: because I'm getting nothing about hurtsing this injury, Like you're

730
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 2: taking away his running ability and that's that's a big deal.

731
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 2: Like the guy's ability to scramble outside the pocket. I

732
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: know he got away with it against Washington. I don't

733
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: know if you'll better get away with that against Parses.

734
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 2: I mean we I think that was you that picked

735
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, was that two weeks ago to break down

736
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: their d line, And it's like they got three guys

737
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: there that all can get after the quarterback even if

738
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: he was fully healthy, even though they weigh one hundred

739
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: pounds more than Hurts. Those dudes can catch them like

740
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: they got some really strong, fasty tackles. And on the ends,

741
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: we already know what Parses can do. So there's if

742
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: you're on the Cowboys side, I definitely can see you're

743
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: coming from. But I'm with Chad, like I believe in

744
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: the Eagle, especially here at home. Catching just three, we

745
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: can't avoid it, can't can't avoid that number, and the

746
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: Eagles at home here, So I'll join you and take

747
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles here Chad, all right.

748
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: Well that's the exact decision. So our final two games are.

749
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: I got another game. We didn't talk about that.

750
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: I love Oh all right, well let's talk about these

751
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: last two and then let uh let's throw it out

752
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: of one in there. I might have missed it in

753
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: my notes. Buffalo at Cincy. You know what's interesting? So

754
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: we love Cincy. On Sunday night at one and a half,

755
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: it went up to two and a half. Did it

756
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: get it got up to three?

757
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: I think the middleman, Chad Millman got it at three, right,

758
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: I got.

759
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: It at three. Not the line is down at two.

760
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: It's funny. I had people texting me wondering why you

761
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: were against me trying to middle. They were surprised that

762
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: you didn't like my middle play.

763
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 2: Because I was just worried you were gonna be like, well,

764
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to take the Bengals now because I

765
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 2: want my middle That's what I was worried about. That

766
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: A lot of.

767
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: That, like I don't care either way I win, anyway

768
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: we choose, it doesn't matter to me.

769
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 2: Well I do. I'm only on the Bengals. I didn't

770
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 2: try to middle this one. But no, I'm just busting

771
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: your bulls, Chad. I live for metals. Chad knows this. Yeah,

772
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: another game we might be stepping it. It's like the

773
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: super Chalky side. We're betting the most type team, the

774
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: best team in football right now in the Bengals, and

775
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: we're fading a Bills team that they are really bad

776
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: right now, Like their fans are excited about adding Rasull Douglas,

777
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 2: like a guy who was out of the league pretty

778
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: much two years ago. Packers picked them up for nothing.

779
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: He played really well for them. He's kind of turned

780
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: it around and ended up being on their better corners

781
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: and they moved them to the Bills. I don't know

782
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 2: what to do with it, brother, Like I feel like

783
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 2: the since he's the right play. But you know, clearly

784
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 2: some pros like the Bills. They're coming on another side

785
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: and they've bet this down. But on paper everything, it's

786
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: like the Bengals feel like such a better team and

787
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: they're healthier. So once again, maybe we're getting caught. Me

788
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 2: and Chat are walking into it. But I just I

789
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: cannot be talked out of the Bengals here. I just

790
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: love the Bengals and I love this number.

791
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I like the way the Bengals

792
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: have been playing. I like the way they've been playing defensively.

793
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous about Trey Hendrickson. He banged up

794
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: his ankle against the Niners. Did not practice on Wednesday.

795
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's not gonna be play.

796
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: Josh Allen did in practice.

797
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did in practice. He's got injury right now

798
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: since he is becoming one of our teams in the contest.

799
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: Are we in the foxhole here?

800
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: At least if we lose money here, you're losing money

801
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 2: on the Bengals and Joe Burrow where people that they're

802
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 2: gonna hate hate the game I love so Yeah, I'm

803
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: good with doing Cinci for Foxhole. You know me, regardless

804
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 2: of what's going on, I'm a Foxhole guy. I commit

805
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: to a team, I commit to a city. I'm a

806
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: Foxhole guy.

807
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring your game in last, because the

808
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: other game that I want to talk about is the

809
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: Chargers visiting the Jets.

810
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

811
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: I fucking love the Jets here. You love the Jets here,

812
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: And the fact the line has moved against us feels

813
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: to me like we have to make this big balls

814
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: back of the week, right, all.

815
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: Right, let's do it.

816
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: I mean, how do we not?

817
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 2: Because yeah, again another game heavily opinionated. I know some

818
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: pros they think the Chargers have it kind of got

819
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 2: a right that Herbert's gotten healthier and he's he's playing

820
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: now one more confidence with that banged up finger. And

821
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: my argument that's just the Bears defense. They make anyone

822
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: look like they've kind of found their groove and this

823
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 2: is a totally different world this Jets defense. And my

824
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: biggest hesitation is, like, I know we did the luck

825
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: ranking stuff. Are the Jets not the luckiest team of football?

826
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: Like Jets are the fifth I think the fifth luckiest

827
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: team in football.

828
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: They gotta do something like that, Like you look at

829
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: their week one win against the Bills, extremely lucky. You

830
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 2: look at their win against the Eagles, extremely lucky. They're

831
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: winning the last week against the Giants like he needs

832
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: so many little things. They literally hit that tying field

833
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: goal with the second left after the other team's kicker

834
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: missed a field goal that would have made the game

835
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: impossible to I'm back on you know, maybe we're buying

836
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: high on the Jets and we're walking into it. But

837
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: Chad just said, I can't avoid it. Now that it's

838
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: up to three and a half primetime game, with that defense,

839
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 2: I can see this losing by field goal. Cannot see

840
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: the Jets getting blown out here. So I'm right there

841
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: with you, Chad, like there's nothing we can do to

842
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 2: avoid this one three and a half. I gotta take it, big.

843
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: Balls better the week. New York Jets at home Monday

844
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: Night Football, three and a half point underdogs against the

845
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. Dude, we are stepping in it in

846
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: every way. We never we never bet a Monday night game.

847
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: We're better to gainst a quarterback we love on a

848
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: team that's getting lucky. That's the kind of week it is,

849
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: like we're having to make really, really, really hard choices.

850
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: What is the game that I missed that you wanted

851
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: to talk about?

852
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: The Raider is? Oh God, come on, What's I'm waiting for? Stucky?

853
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: As little article about teams playing after the coaches gets fired,

854
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: I know it's not any really any type of beneficial

855
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: to the team, but I think this will be beneficial

856
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 2: to them. Like they they seem like they hated Josh

857
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 2: McDaniels and they all wanted a bad mouth and they

858
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 2: couldn't they're starting O'Connell here, the guy you love I

859
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: love so much, starting him over Jimmy g. Daniel Jones

860
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 2: is apparently trying to rush back and playing this game.

861
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: I love that as well. The fact that this numbers

862
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: come down so much. I believe the look ahead on

863
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: this was like five and now it's all the way

864
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: down to one, one and a half. I'm just gonna

865
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: grab that value there on a Vegas team that we

866
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 2: say all the time they have talent, like this team

867
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: does have talent. I think the coaching has just been

868
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: what's holding them back. So maybe someday morning I'll be

869
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 2: able to convince you on it and get you there.

870
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: But it is one of the grosser plays of the

871
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 2: week because we're backing just a really bad Vegas team

872
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: and experience quarterback. But my real bet here is just

873
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 2: back in this Raiders defense. I think that's that's why

874
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 2: I really like hearing this matchup against his Giants offense

875
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones just turns the ball over and if

876
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: they win the turnover Battle of Vegas, I really feel

877
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: like we're gonna get there. I don't know if you

878
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: saw Antonio Pierce, he's the guy that's taken over now

879
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: of the head coach of them. He just rings out

880
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 2: of that like great motivational guy, which in five weeks

881
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: they're all gonna be sick of him and hate hearing

882
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: from him. But in this first game, I like that

883
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 2: kind of spot, like the Jeff Saturday move right. Remember

884
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 2: last year we back Jeff Saturday in his first start

885
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: as a coach, and.

886
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: He went out right the line one and a half.

887
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw. I think maybe it was Evam, I

888
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 2: don't know who it was. Some one posted that twenty

889
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 2: two percent of his wins as a Raiders coach came

890
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 2: against the Patriots, which I just loved. That's your favorite

891
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: stattoo because Belichick's not a good coach, but it's it's

892
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: it's an ugly play I much. I think the fans

893
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: will much rather make the Bengals are Foxhole bet than this.

894
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 2: But I'm just telling people I can't avoid this one.

895
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 2: Like I got three really ugly bets this week. This

896
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: is one of them that bucks, the other one that

897
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: panthers the other one. It's just there's some ugly spots

898
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: this week. But I just I gotta take it, by.

899
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: The way, this is how bad of a week. It

900
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: is if your ugly bets are the Raiders, the Panthers

901
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: in the Bucks and you don't mention the Jets. So

902
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: that's the kind of week that we're struggling through here

903
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: to try to.

904
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: That's your four and three brother, but it's true.

905
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: But still still it's the Jets. It's Zach Wilson. I mean,

906
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: let's not be unrealistic here. Reminder about our contest picks.

907
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: Simon and I typically enter our initial picks into the

908

911
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: we love each other, and then we're going to come

912
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,719

957
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,360

961
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: is a big money one. There's only a couple of

962
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: us left. And like I was going through it, we

963
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: got really lucky. Like early in the year we used

964
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: the Giants in Washington because they played Arizona. I am

965
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: so happy looking back at that.

966
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

967
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, I have a bunch of options here. I'm

968
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 2: with you, like if it's I know, some people have

969
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 2: to lock it in. If you want to just play

970
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: it safe, you know exactly what quarterback are gowning against

971
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 2: Ghost Saints. If you're like me, and you can submit

972
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: it Sunday morning, which I can. I can submit it,

973
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: you know, up to twelve thirty. So I'm I kind

974
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: of have a little bit of leniency here. I'm gonna

975
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 2: wait and see who the quarterback is for the Cleveland.

976
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: If it's Watson and it's going up against this rookie

977
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 2: for Arizona, gotta do Cleveland. And if not, if it's

978
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray coming in there, which doesn't really scare me

979
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 2: too much because it's his or start after a long rest,

980
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: But just to be safe, the fact I'm so close

981
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: now to actually win in this thing. There's only a

982
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: couple of guys left, I will switch to the Saints.

983
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: So for our one two plays, I'll put it on

984
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: Twitter on Sunday morning. It's gonna either be Saints or

985
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: the Browns.

986
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: Your biggest bets of the week right now.

987
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 2: I don't tell you what to do with your money,

988
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: don't fucking tell me what to do with mine, Okay, anstalingly,

989
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: I regret saying that that was a horrible thing to say.

990
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: I love y'all very much. Right now, it's Panthers. Shocking,

991
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 2: shocking to know one that's just such a typical bet

992
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: of this show. Tampa. Another game where it's like I'm

993
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: really back in the defense, believe in the defensive number,

994
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: and you know it's getting there. But Jets. And when

995
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,479
Speaker 2: I moved to three and a half, I started betting

996
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 2: even more, which makes me a little nervous. I don't

997
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 2: respect my money, and they haven't moved it down, but

998
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: a bizarre number. They moved it up to three and

999
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: a half with the Jets.

1000
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: I can't avoid it all right, Before we get out

1001
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: of here, Action Network Director or Research Evan Abrams, the

1002
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: engine behind the rate stats and nuggets you here on

1003
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 1: the show and across our network. He's all the way

1004
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: back from Germany supersonic speed. Evan bring us the last word.

1005
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 2: The last word with Evan Abrams.

1006
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 1: We're finished talking.

1007
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 3: Surprised you guys did use the Commanders and Survivor. Okay,

1008
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 3: So what a run the public is on? I feel

1009
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 3: like this needs to be discussed a little bit. Sixty

1010
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 3: four forty eight and five and the public is any team,

1011
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 3: fifty one percent of tickets are more. So it is

1012
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 3: that's sixty four to forty eight and five number best

1013
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 3: start through eight weeks since two thousand.

1014
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 2: And five, which is our full bet laps database.

1015
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 3: To go even further, thirty seven to twenty five and three,

1016
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,760
Speaker 3: sixty percent of tickets are higher, also best and public

1017
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 3: sides after a team loss.

1018
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 2: So team loses, then.

1019
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 3: They're the public side and everyone's like, oh my god.

1020
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 3: They gotta win thirty two, seventeen and three against the

1021
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 3: spread this season. So it's been a crazy run. And

1022
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: to think about this, the Dolphins and Lions have been

1023
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: public sides ten times or ten to zero against the

1024
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 3: spreads for this week. But every time the public rides

1025
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 3: that train seems to cover. Okay, so how about this one?

1026
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: I think this is the one Simon was talking about earlier.

1027
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: So the Raiders eight no to their team total under

1028
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 3: so far this season, only team in the NFL that

1029
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 3: are undefeated to the under, so no overs.

1030
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: For Las Vegas.

1031
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 3: But to talk about the fired note he was talking about,

1032
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 3: thirty five teams have fired their coach during the regular

1033
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 3: season since two thousand and three. They are sixteen and

1034
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 3: nineteen straight up, but nineteen and sixteen against the spread

1035
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 3: in their next game after the firing. Now you might

1036
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: say to yourself, okay, fifty four percent. It's not the

1037
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 3: best note ever. But if you think about it, those

1038
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 3: teams ninety and two thirty nine straight up twenty seven

1039
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 3: percent and one twenty two and two oh four thirty

1040
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 3: seven percent against the spread prior to the coaching change,

1041
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 3: So Raiders might get a little bump here. And Matt

1042
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 3: Mitchell asked for this, so I'll give it to you.

1043
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 3: Nineteen sixty nine. Since that date, Steelers have had three

1044
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 3: head coaches. Raiders are now on their fourth coach in

1045
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 3: the last three seasons, So got to toss that one

1046
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 3: in there.

1047
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: Let's go mad.

1048
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 3: And then finally, this is just for you guys. Home

1049
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: teams with a win percentage of twenty five percent or

1050
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 3: less who are favored by three and a half or more. Okay,

1051
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 3: thirty one forty eight and one against the spread last decade.

1052
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 2: That is New England this week.

1053
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 3: So I figured I toss it in there just to you.

1054
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: Know, I damn it, little grenade.

1055
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: Before you are, you are trying to drive a wedge

1056
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: between me and Simon.

1057
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: Honestly looked that up.

1058
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 3: Look that up mid episode because I was like, it's perfect,

1059
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 3: So enjoy that, man.

1060
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's that idea.

1061
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: V Thanks thanks very much, as always valuable insight. To

1062
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: recap the Foxhole Cincinnati minus two, the Big Balls, Jets

1063
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: plus three and a half exec decision, Eagles minus three.

1064
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: Simon says, Carolina plus two and a half our round

1065
00:53:54,880 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: Robin Carolina, Washington, Tampa Bay Jets, Seattle. Well, if we

1066
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: had to choose five right now, Simon, I don't know

1067
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: that we could do.

1068
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: It the phase five for now.

1069
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Carolina Jets. We'll have to see what the

1070
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 1: Eagles are at. We'll have to see what Cincinnati is at.

1071
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,280
