Instant reaction on the Rams throttling 22 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: got a little close at the end due to a 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: block punt and a secondary lapse. And the Rams defense 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: is a bunch of kids. You can beat them deep 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: down the field, and the Saints did late in the game. 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: But kind of a coaching mismatch, I thought. Once the 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: Saints went for it at the end of the half 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: instead of pinning the Rams deep. Rams had three timeouts left, 29 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: they held, march down the field, scored ten point Rams 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: lead at half. Felt like the ballgame to me. You know, 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: there were two games this week on the docket that 32 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: I really really liked. One of them I talked about 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: this on FS. One was the Rams tonight four three 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: and a half against Derek Carr and the Saints. McVeigh 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: in a short week has won six of seven games. 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: Offensive coaches on a short week can be really really 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: good against defensive coaches. They can do little tweaks with 38 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: their quarterback and their offense. An offensive culture, I think 39 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: always has a bit of an advantage on a short week, 40 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: especially if you're playing at home and McVeigh is six 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: and one in these spots now seven and one. And 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: also I don't think Dennis Allen's a very good coach. 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: The last two weeks I've watched McVeigh work Ron Rivera 44 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: of the Commanders. Commanders late game situational football was embarrassing, 45 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: and I thought Dennis Allen's halftime move right before half 46 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: was a swing and a miss. So you know, I 47 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: go on and on about this, but McVeigh is having 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: an unbelievable year. If you watch all the motions and 49 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: all the shifting and all the manipulation on virtually every play, 50 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: Saints lineup. They don't use motion. I mean most of 51 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: the time they don't use motion. They line up. They 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: don't put the defense in conflict. It's much easier for 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: a defense to just line up, see what you're doing, 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: and go. The Rams are using shifts and motions and 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: these multiple sets where you've got three receivers, jumbo sets. 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: It puts a lot of conflict and a lot of 57 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: decision making. Throw in some motion. The Niners with Kyle 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: Shanahan lead the league in motion, along with Miami with 59 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: an offensive coach, and the Rams with an offensive coach. 60 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: It is checkers and chess and McVeigh McDaniel, Andy Reid, Shanahan. 61 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: It's a different looking sport. I mean, it's a different 62 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: looking sport. So and mcveigh's had his way two and 63 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: oh against defensive coach Pete Carroll, one to oh against 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera, want to oh against Dennis Allen, two and 65 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: oh against Arizona. He lost earlier in the year when 66 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: the Rams were kind of beat up to Mike Tomlin 67 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers, but since Thanksgiving Matt Staff fourteen touchdowns, one 68 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: pick and a passer rating of over one fourteen. And 69 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know, one of the things that jumps 70 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: out to me is that McVeagh and less Need the 71 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: GM really work hand in hand, and that's really really important. 72 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: I remember when Jim Harball was with the Niners with 73 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: Trent and Balky, and they couldn't stand each other. And 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: there's some situations in the NFL where the gms and 75 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: the coaches aren't close. Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton when 76 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: they were in New Orleans were best friends. Really matters. 77 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: But you know, less Need and McVeigh mcvay's got a 78 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: great sense for offense. They find Puka Nakua in the 79 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: fifth round, and they also go get here's a prime 80 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: example of an offensive culture. So dots and the interior 81 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: offensive lineman for the Rams. They pick him up in 82 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: a trade on the interior the online from the Steelers. 83 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Steelers weren't going to start Dotson the guard. He's now 84 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: the fourth highest readed guard in the NFL with Sean McVay. 85 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: Steelers wen't going to start. And I go on and 86 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: on about this, but McVeigh is the preparation, the in 87 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: game management. And I think a lot of times that 88 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: the media beats up on coaches for some clock stuff 89 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: late in games. It's fast moving, it's fluid. Nobody's perfect. 90 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: But I'll take the offensive guys over the defensive guys 91 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: every time. And I also think one of the advantages 92 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: the Rams have because they don't have good special teams. 93 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: They're not a super Bowl team in my opinion. They're 94 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: a team that can go. They'll probably end up getting 95 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: into the playoffs and facing Detroit in Detroit, and I 96 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: would probably take the Lions. They have more experience, they 97 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: have a dominant offensive line. Jared Goff is very good 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: at home when he gets on his spot and not rushed, 99 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: and the Rams pass rush can be a little hit 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: and miss. Their special teams aren't good, their secondaries young 101 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: got torched over the top a couple of times tonight, 102 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: first half and second half. That's what Rams games are. 103 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: But they've scored at least twenty seven points, I think, 104 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: in four straight games. And I thought they should have 105 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: beaten the Ravens. It was go either way game. But 106 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: we'd seen other teams in the NFC go out to Baltimore, 107 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: Detroit and Seattle and get smoked. The Rams went out 108 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: there and went toe to toe with Baltimore, a really 109 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: good football team. So I just think you're looking at 110 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: a Rams team that has made over the last six weeks. 111 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: They are a completely different football team. A lot of 112 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: it is on offense. The special teams weren't good early 113 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: are not good now. Their secondary's okay, it's okay now. 114 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: It's the offensive improvement. Guys have gotten healthy. Stafford's getting 115 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: time to throw. Kyra and Williams the running back, small 116 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: guy but very powerful and shifty. And mcveigh's offense is 117 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: really a ball control offense. You know, you think McVeigh, 118 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: you know you think these offensive coaches. You know, it's big, 119 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: over the top plays, It really isn't with McVeigh. He 120 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: was at his best when Gurley was in his prime, 121 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: and now Williams in his prime. That's really when he's 122 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: at his best when he can rely on a fifteen 123 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: to eighteen carry running back. And also Cooper Cup's a 124 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 1: big receiver. Puka Nakou is a big receiver. He uses 125 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: though highly effectively. So I really like what I saw 126 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: with the Rams tonight. Again, it was one of my 127 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: favorite picks of the week. This and the Cowboys over 128 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They get a scheduling break now. The Rams 129 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: get ten days to prepare for the New York Giants, 130 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: So that's an advantage the Giants because they're on Thursday. 131 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Then they go to New York. Ten days for offensive 132 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: coaches is a big advantage. The Giants have a game, 133 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: big underdogs to the Philadelphia Eagles who are desperate for 134 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: a win, so a very physical in division game for 135 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: the Giants, and then the Rams get four extra days 136 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: to prep on a roll very confident. Didn't see a 137 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: lot of injuries Tonpe Stafford's getting good protection, but it 138 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: was a work of art over the last month. If 139 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: you watch the Rams DeMarcus Robinson, there's another guy they 140 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: just picked up. It took about six to eight weeks. 141 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: McVeigh gets him into the system. Now he's valuable. Poka 142 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: Nakua rookie. He was great from the very beginning. Cooper 143 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Cup healthy is become a very very deep receiving core. 144 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: Then it was one of the primary concerns going into 145 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: the season, and then you hit on Pooka and then 146 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Robinson becomes a vital player. He 147 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: will always a hard work where he played with Baltimore, 148 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 1: twitchy athletic. He was very good in the first half. 149 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: So it is all rolling for the Rams. Now they're hot. 150 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: It was a coaching mismatch to get a scheduling break, 151 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: and they feel like a playoff team. The team's on 152 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: the bubble. The Saints, okay, Now the Rams have an 153 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: edge over them and the Seahawks. Rams have beaten them twice, 154 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: so things are very very good. One other LA note, 155 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: very very interesting. Keep your eye on the Dodgers with 156 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: the potential massive another massive signing tonight. Instant reaction. Let's 157 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: talk to Chad Millman Sharper Square. I got a story 158 00:08:52,160 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. Hello, Chad Milman, Sharper Square, I'm 159 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: kind of a heater. I don't want to brag about it. 160 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how much of a heater? 161 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: Four straight winning weeks four and one. Last week I 162 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: had a little bit of an early Denver Bronco, Sean Payton, 163 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson September slump. But shit is rolling downhill now. 164 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm like McVeigh and Stafford and Puka Nakua. 165 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: Here's the thing.

And I say 168 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: that like it just it doesn't matter how much you're 169 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: wagering on it. You just feel good. Last week we 170 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: do our podcast on Sunday nights at seven point thirty. 171 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: Normally I am biting fingernails and sweating until seven twenty 172 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: nine because I don't know how our day is going 173 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: to end because of all the games that matter so much. 174 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 2: Last week we were so locked in at seven o'clock. 175 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: I was doing dishes because like it was like I 176 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: was done, it was over, and it just it felt lovely. 177 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: It does. There's nothing better. By the way, before we 178 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: get into our picks. I'm not a spender. 179 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: I don't. 180 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: I've never had a second car. Most of my car 181 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: has been used. I'm not a country club guy. 182 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: Second houses, however, those are investments. 183 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: But I'm not a spender. But I and my wife, 184 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: So I gotta tell you a funny story. So once 185 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: a year I take my wife to Beverly Hills for 186 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: a couple of nights before Christmas and we go look 187 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: at the lights, We have a lovely dinner, and we 188 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: just have fun. It's really a neat weekend for us. 189 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: And so on Friday, I said, you know, I'm gonna 190 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: make an effort here. We're gonna go out tonight. I'm gonna, 191 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, go get a nice pair of like, you know, 192 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: slacks or something. And and so I go to this 193 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: store and I don't know, you know, it's it's uh, 194 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's Beverly Hills. You know there's no Target there, right, 195 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: so I know. 196 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: Also there's no price tags on any of the clothes. 197 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: No, no, So I go buy a pair, a couple 198 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: pair of jeans. And they're nice jeans. I mean they're 199 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: not LEVI five oh one nice, but they're nice. Right, 200 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: So I go and buy jeans, and then I buy 201 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: a couple of shirts, and you know we've done well. 202 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who sits at a grocery store and 203 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, or a restaurant counts the check. I've done well, whatever, 204 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: So I put it in my pocket. You know the 205 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: check salesman's great. But on my phone, like five minutes 206 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: after I buy in my AMEX card, it pops up. 207 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: So I'm walking across the street. I spent thirteen hundred 208 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: dollars for a pair of jeans. No, bro, I haven't 209 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: thrown up since I was like seven. I was convulsing 210 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: at the intersection. I My wife started laughing. She thought 211 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: it was the funniest thing ever. She's like, you're sick 212 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: to your stomach. I'm like sick to my stomach. I 213 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: can't do anything. This weekend, We're going to the waffle house. 214 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: I'll fly with Lana. I'm not eating. 215 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 2: Are they stitched in gold? 216 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: I haven't taken them off. I sleep and getting every 217 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: goddamn penny out of those things. I told my wife, 218 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm wearing those six times a week for ten years 219 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: to get the money back. 220 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: They're gonna be the most comfortable jeans you've ever had, 221 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: even if they're terrible. 222 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: So my wife looks at the tag and and my 223 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: wife kind of knows this stuff, and she goes, oh 224 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: Jesus blank. She calls her daughter. She goes, Colin just 225 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: pair bought a pair of jeans. Guess who he bought 226 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: them from? She names it, and I can hear my 227 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: stepdaughter howling laughing. She's like, how much it cost? 228 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: A thousand? 229 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: And like, uh so there, ladies. And you know my 230 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: takeaway is I'll get used out of them. 231 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: I'm fine. 232 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: But do you know there are people that do that 233 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: every day. They go shop there every. 234 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: Every day. Yeah. I once did that before, like and it. 235 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: I went to Barney's. I had to go to a 236 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: wedding and I knew at the wedding Barney's. I knew 237 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 2: at the wedding. I knew at the wedding that the 238 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: girl who was best friends with my girlfriend in college 239 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: was going to be there. And I wanted to look 240 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: as good as I could. I was gonna be with Stacy. 241 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: I wanted to look as good as I could because 242 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: I knew she was going to report back. So I 243 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: go to Barney's. I buy this suit. It's like perfect 244 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: off the rack. It was well north to thirteen hundred dollars. 245 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: I had no business buying this suit because I was 246 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: not making thirteen hundred dollars. And I buy it. I'm 247 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 2: feeling good. My wife is making fun of me. She's like, 248 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: you're an idiot. We get to the wedding. The my 249 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: ex girlfriend's best friend bailed on the wedding, never showed up. 250 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: I got this suit. I looked amazing. I never. I've 251 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: decided since then, I cannot spend a lot of money 252 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: on clothes. 253 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't look good in clothes. I don't, 254 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: so you know stuff you don't. 255 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: I wear Colin. I wear my my hoodie from the 256 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: Volume podcast network. That's what I wear. That's all I 257 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: need so much, And I think, but by the way, 258 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: I might have gotten this for free. 259 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: You and I have similarities. We've done well. We love gambling. 260 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: We have both have our wives look like sisters. They're 261 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: both beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, red haired, beautiful women. Tolerant women, yes, 262 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: and we are adverse to big spending. Although I do 263 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: look you probably like I like nice vacation. All spend 264 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: I tell my kids education and experiences all tell that. 265 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: You know what's not on that list? 266 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: Jeans No, No, definitely not when when when my wife 267 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: was an architecture school and I was working at ESPN, 268 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: the magazine, and I was making not a lot of money, 269 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: and we were living in New York City and we 270 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: had just gotten married. And my wife, who grew up 271 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: on Staten Island, her mom was a teacher, her dad 272 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: was an architect. Very lovely lifestyle, but it was not 273 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: like an extravagant lifestyle, right. I got the credit card 274 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: after we got married, and we're spending together now and 275 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: she's an architecture school and she had spent like four 276 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: hundred dollars on a pair of jeans. I'm like, what 277 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: is going on here? And she's like, I just needed 278 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: the genes. They just they were things that I needed 279 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: in that moment. Sure I could. I didn't want to 280 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: argue with it because it was still early in our life. 281 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: I used to be when I used to be a 282 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: hoarder and kind of a financial horder, like you know 283 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: x y, I would laugh. She's like, you're going to 284 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: be the richest dead guy ever. And then I met Anne, 285 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: and Anne has certain needs and she needed me to spend, 286 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: which is fine because she's beautiful and it makes me 287 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: really happy. But yeah, things have changed. All right, let's 288 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: go so good week. I'm gonna give you the stuff 289 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: and I almost know where you're gonna go with these 290 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: I feel so I'm gonna take the Steelers plus two 291 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: at the Bengals. Pittsburgh gets a second look at a 292 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. They're a desperate team, veteran coach, great as 293 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: an underdog, they are a cornered animal. Steelers plus two 294 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: Sharper square. 295 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: Totally sharp. This was a two and a half. It 296 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: got bumped down. Look, you have a couple of advantages. 297 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: One no Jamar Chase. Two buying or selling very high 298 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: in the Bengals, buying very low on the Steelers. Three 299 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: no Dj Reader And that is a huge deal in 300 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: the middle of the defensive line for the Bengals. Not 301 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,119 Speaker 2: only is he great again, it's the run. He's phenomenal 302 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: against the past. So you're really going to be limiting 303 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 2: your pass rush capabilities against Mason Rudolph. And don't think like, 304 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 2: all right, we're going from Kenny Pikett to Mitch Trubisky 305 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: to Mason Rudolph. He's been all the same. They're all 306 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 2: the same. They're the same quarterback and then you just 307 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: mentioned the most important thing. Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin as 308 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: a dog, most profitable coach the past twenty years, Mike 309 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: Tomlin as a dog at home, Mike Tomlin as a 310 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: dog in the division, Mike Tomlin as a dog late 311 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: in the year, Mike Tomlin as a dog off a 312 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: loss of more than seven. Like every category, it starts 313 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: at sixty percent and gets up to ninety percent. No 314 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 2: joke against the spread. So yes, the wise guys, they're 315 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: going to be on the steers. 316 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm not getting the best number at Peckham. I thought 317 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: it was one of the bets of the year. I'll 318 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: take Dallas plus one and a half at the Dolphins. 319 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: I have a theory very good teams who are physically 320 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: humiliated on big TV games come back the following week. 321 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: It's not just losing, it's being humiliated, physically pushed around. 322 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: And Dallas is a physical team. Miami's not. 323 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: Now. 324 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: I do think they generate since Week five a very 325 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: nice pass for us. That's a Fangio defense. But I 326 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: think Dallas has something to prove. I think they were embarrassed. 327 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: I think they're a good football team. I'm going to 328 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: take Dallas to win by about a touchdown plus one 329 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: and a half here Sharper square. 330 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, the wise guys are on the Cowboys. This opened 331 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: it too. It's been bet down. There's places where it's 332 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 2: one you mentioned pick them as well, like it would 333 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 2: not surprise me and some of the rumblings I've heard 334 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 2: in the market from professional betters if Dallas ended up 335 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 2: as the favorite in this game. So I will say 336 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: it's very important you get Dallas as an underdog if 337 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: you like them, because the trends start to work against 338 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: you if they become the favorite in terms of covering. 339 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: So you want to get them at the plus number. 340 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: But for all the reasons you said, like, there are 341 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: a lot of trends that will back up the idea 342 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 2: that when you are a team that has been blown 343 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 2: out and then you are going on the road again 344 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 2: as an underdog, you are the team that people should 345 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: be backing. So in agreement so far, two for two 346 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 2: Kyle Cowhart. 347 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: The number has been bumped up. All of our odds 348 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: provided by Draft Kings. I'm talking to Chad Milman CCO 349 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: Action Network Patriots plus seven at the Broncos Weather could 350 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: be crappy. Seven's a lot of points Denver. Can Nicholan 351 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: dime you. Bailey Zappi is okay, He's not great. But 352 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: my takeaway is this is a low scoring, ugly, crappy 353 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: weather game. At six, I would probably stay away. At seven, 354 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: I would take New England. That's a lot of points 355 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: in lousy weather. We've had huge rain through southern California. 356 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: It's all moving into the mountains Denver, Colorado. Over the 357 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: next two to three days, Patriots plus seven sharper square sharp. 358 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: Ish like, there's a lot better games on the board. 359 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: There's not a huge edge with the Patriots at plus seven. 360 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 2: The challenge for this game is that the Broncos prior 361 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 2: to last week had been living off of turnover. Yes, 362 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: that's how they were winning these games. Right, stuff always 363 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: even out, It always evens out, except they're playing Bailey Zappi. 364 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: So what is the formula for winning for the Broncos. 365 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: They're playing bad quarterbacks and getting turnovers. So what are 366 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 2: they getting they're getting? I would argue Bailey Zappi is 367 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: not a good quarterback in bad weather, in altitude, in 368 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: a hostile situation. This is Taylor made to be a 369 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: turnover masterpiece for the Denver Broncos. Look at what happened 370 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: last week with the Chiefs. Right, the Patriots were in 371 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: position to keep that game close. They come out of 372 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: the locker room. Bailey Zappi second throw, he's rolling out, 373 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: throws it directly to a Chiefs defensive back like doesn't 374 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 2: even There's not even a Patriots receiver there. And that 375 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: is going to happen two or three times in a game, 376 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: and a couple of those times, at least one of 377 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 2: those times, the Broncos are going to the ball, and 378 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: that's going to be the way the game changes. I 379 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: would not be comfortable betting the Patriots in the spot. 380 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: I would bet the under though. 381 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: All Right, one more dog Ravens plus five and a 382 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: half at the Niners. They're a bit beat up, but 383 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: Harbaugh's an underdog. NFC teams facing for the first time 384 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Now, the Niners have excellent linebackers, Twitchy Fred Warner. 385 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: They should be able to be more than competent against Lamar. 386 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: But if you've never faced him and you don't have 387 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: anybody in practice to duplicate it, it can be an avalanche. 388 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: Five and a half is a silly number. This is 389 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: a very close, physical game, hard to run on the Ravens. 390 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm taking the points all day here. I think it's 391 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: a good game. I like the Niners. Five and a 392 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: half seems almost disrespectful Sharper square. 393 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the wise guys are on the Ravens. Here, 394 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: I will say I'm conflicted. I'm conflicted because a I've 395 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: got a decent sized bet on Christian McCaffrey at twenty 396 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: five to one to win the MVP. And let's face it, 397 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 2: this is the v people, right, you got Rock Purty 398 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: at about minus two hundred, you got Lamar Jackson at 399 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 2: about three to one, and depending on the book, you've 400 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: got Christian McCaffrey is the third shortest odds or Dak 401 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: Prescott or Dak Prescott's third shortest, and McCaffrey is four shortest. 402 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 2: So in my heart of hearts, what I'm hoping for 403 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: is Christian McCaffrey is dominant, and that the Niners win 404 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 2: the game, and that the next two weeks it's just 405 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 2: a coronation for Christian McCaffrey, and I win my Christian 406 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: McCaffrey twenty five to one MVP bet. The problem is 407 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 2: that everything you just said Lamar Jackson against the NFC. 408 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 2: That's not a sort of quirky to take sixteen and 409 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: one anomaly. It's because there's nobody like Lamar Jackson that 410 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 2: these NFC teams can prepare when they are playing him 411 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: number two. There are like some concerns. I haven't seen 412 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: the injury reports from today, but look, I'msted and Hargrave 413 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: on the defensive line for the Niners. When they were 414 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 2: missing last week, the Cardinals gained nearly four hundred, right, 415 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 2: and they kept it close. So, and we also don't 416 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: know about Leonore is he going to be playing in 417 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 2: the defensive backfield. When he started to play that defensive 418 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: backfield was much better. So I do think there are 419 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: some concerns, but I generally think the wise guys are 420 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: looking at this and saying, the public is so high 421 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: in the Niners, And there are reasons to be high 422 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: in the Niners. Right. They are undefeated when Deebo, Samuel 423 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 2: and Trent Williams are playing, and they are beating teams 424 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: by double digits, they are a legit team. I do 425 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 2: believe the Niners will win the Super Bowl, and I 426 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: do believe we will look back on this team and 427 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 2: think it is historically great for the past generation with 428 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: the combination of Kyle Shanahan. Who you think this? I 429 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: think this. A lot of people who cover football think this. 430 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: He's a brilliant coach who has had bad injury luck 431 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: and not exactly the perfect people for what is an 432 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: incredible system. And I think he has that. He's had 433 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 2: luck on his side for health. But I think this 434 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: week the Ravens are probably going to be the sharp side. 435 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: All right, Tampa Bay, Let's go to some favorites minus 436 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: one and a half. C J. Bether probably plays Jacksonville's 437 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: in a funk. Trevor Lawrence is banged up. I don't 438 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: think he's been healthy in three weeks. We have to 439 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: be honest about this. Baker Mayfield, with weapons and reasonable protections, 440 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in his division. He plays with a 441 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: great deal of confidence and emotion. I think he feels 442 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: really good right now. Todd Bowles is letting him kind 443 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: of control the offense. I knows they're a favorite. I 444 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: tend to like dogs, but CJ. Bethard is an average 445 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: average backup. I'm gonna take the Buck Sharper square. 446 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: No real consensus on what side is the right side here. 447 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 2: The Bucks were two and a half point underdogs when 448 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: this game opened, before we had the insight on Trevor Lawrence. 449 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 2: I will say what's interesting here. Baker Mayfield no joke. 450 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 2: He was elite against the Green Bay Packers, like I think. 451 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: He was twenty one of twenty eight north of three 452 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: hundred yards, four touchdowns, and all season long, the wise 453 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 2: guys have been backing the Bucks, and the Bucks have 454 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 2: been one of those teams where for three quarters they're amazing, 455 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 2: but there'll be four or five drives in the game 456 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 2: where Mike Evans drops a ball or Baker throws a pick, 457 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: and like it just puts the game a little bit 458 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: out of reach for them. But they've generally played really, 459 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: really well. So I can't fault you for liking Baker 460 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 2: in this spot. It's a scary spot because you're also 461 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: backing Baker after he was just as good as he's 462 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 2: ever been, I know. But with CJ. Bether, yeah, you're 463 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: taking a short home favorite. 464 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to games. I want you to 465 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: talk me into So I have two rules in life. 466 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: Number one, don't do math no winners. Number two, always 467 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: take a team favored by four because the odds makers 468 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: are telling you, we'd rather do three. That's what we 469 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: want to do. We can't. This team's better ram tonight. 470 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: They're just better than the Saints. It'll be a coaching mismatch. 471 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: Now it's down at three and a half. But at four, 472 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: I thought it was a great bet Bears minus four 473 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: to four and a half. I have been betting best 474 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in games. But I think eber Flus is coaching 475 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: for his job. I don't think Arizona's guy's coaching for 476 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: a job. I think Justin Field is playing for his job. 477 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: This is a big game, a dome team going to 478 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: crappy weather. It'll be it won't be a blizzard. The 479 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: weather is kind of unseasonably mild in the Midwest. But 480 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: I think the urgency and intensity here. Also remember last 481 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: year how teams after they played the Niners like all lost. 482 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: We're not tracking it this year as much, and the 483 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: numbers aren't the same, but when you play, when you 484 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: play San Francisco, there are repercussions. They're a really physical team. 485 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: I think Arizona played spirited football. It's a really bad roster. 486 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: The Bears aren't a bad roster. I want to take 487 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: Chicago Sharper Square. 488 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: Aw Square. The wise guys are on the Cardinals. The 489 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 2: game was at four and a half, it got that 490 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 2: down to four. I'd actually take it one step further. 491 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: I don't think Ebra Fluis is playing for his job. 492 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 2: I think he's auditioning for his next coordinator job. I 493 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 2: think Justin Fields is auditioning for the next team he's 494 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: going to play on. I think that as a Bears fan, 495 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: we saw what we saw last week against the Browns 496 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: in that second half where Justin Fields was like seven 497 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 2: of nineteen for sixty yards, and that offense was not 498 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 2: able to execute. And at some point that's on the 499 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: quarterback and his inability to find the right receivers and so, 500 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: and on the coach for coaching a defense that gave 501 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: up the game to Joe Flacco and had a ten 502 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 2: point lead. There's a stat that we had that we 503 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: were talking about on the favorite podcast, The Bears. I 504 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 2: think this season, or or of only the last two seasons, 505 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: have had ten point leads in the fourth quarter six times. 506 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: They're three and three. Everybody else in the league the 507 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: past two seasons something like ninety three and one. Literally, 508 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: it's like a ninety three percent win rates. So there's 509 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 2: a lot of issues with that Bears team. I think 510 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: that what we got in the Cardinals is a team 511 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: that is just always going to be undervalued. And I 512 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: don't think if you look at the market, there's going 513 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: to be any professional better who says, oh, yeah, I'm 514 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 2: comfortable betting the Bears as more than a field goal favorite, 515 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 2: which is why the line moved down. Also, don't forget 516 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray against the spread on the road fifteen and five. 517 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: So you're talking about a guy who was very good 518 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: at covering the spread, and by the way, he also 519 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: covered it last weekend that number was bouncing around. So 520 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: I like what. I like what Kyler Murray can do here? 521 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: All right? 522 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Finally, dumpster dive. What's something that I would probably be 523 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: appalled with, but you think is pretty tasty. I mean 524 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: you all say this, I thought about Eagles minus twelve, 525 00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: they're bound to win. 526 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think look in any other scenario, you're looking 527 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 2: at Raiders plus ten against the Chiefs, you're looking at 528 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: Giants plus twelve against the Eagles. I'm not going to 529 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: ask you to do those things. I'm not going to 530 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: do those things this week. I think there's a lot 531 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: of wonkingition in those games, and I think professional betters 532 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: are sort of divided on really betting those numbers. They're 533 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 2: not really looking to do it. Can I interest you 534 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: in the Atlanta Falcons minus one? Yeah? 535 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: But by the way MacIntyre's on this, he's like, that's 536 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: the sharp side this week. 537 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 2: It is. I mean, look that number I bet. I 538 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: bet Atlanta at plus two and a half. And I 539 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: know what I said. I said, you got to be 540 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: wary of those games that bounce from the one side 541 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: as the underdog is now the favorite. But the Colts 542 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: are really kind of frauds. And I don't like Shane Steichen. 543 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 2: He should be getting votes for Coach of the Year 544 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: what he has done with that team, what he's done 545 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 2: with Gardner Minshew, who I think had won two games 546 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: as a starter before this season, Like he has put 547 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 2: them in a position. But also you've got to think 548 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: about the teams they've beaten during the streak that they've 549 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: been on have not been very good. And now, if 550 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 2: you want to talk about a coach who is coaching 551 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: for his job, you're talking about Arthur Smith, and he's 552 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 2: putting Taylor Heineke back in there. Also because the Colt's 553 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 2: defense is just trash, like they can't really stop the run. 554 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: They were good before Grover Stewart went on his ped suspension. 555 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: They haven't been good since they're in the middle of 556 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: transitioning that defense. It's just not a very good defense, 557 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 2: so I think. And also the Falcons offensive line, which 558 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 2: was really injured. They had many players who were out 559 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 2: or questionable heading into the game against the Panthers back 560 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 2: at home on turf, Arthur Smith is going to have 561 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: to be as creative as he possibly can to keep 562 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 2: this team in the hunt. I like the Falcons here. 563 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: There's one more that I like, probably not worth your time. 564 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: It's a corner team game. Are you ready? Tennessee Titans 565 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: y plus two and a half? Yeah? 566 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: Well, the way Seattle won, people fall in love with 567 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: their They really have some really fun young athletes. But 568 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: Vrabel at home, they're getting what three? What is it now? 569 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 2: Two and a half? Did it move to three? I 570 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 2: haven't even noticed? Did it? 571 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: It may have moved to three. 572 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: I'm checking right now. If it did, all the better 573 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 2: then go get go get that three, because that's that's 574 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 2: the game that the wise guys love and I know 575 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: it sounds. 576 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: They like Tennessee plus two and a half. That's the 577 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: that's they love it, love it. Why explain love so. 578 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: On the team that just had the dramatic win in 579 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: prime time by the team that just had the devastating loss. 580 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel as an underdog. He's twenty six and twenty 581 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 2: eight straight up as an underdog, right Like, this is 582 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: a guy who just wins when he is counted out 583 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: and his team is not supposed to win, let alone 584 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: in the amount of time that he covers as an underdog. 585 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: Him and Tomlin are the two guys that wise guys 586 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 2: love to cover. They love to cover in these exact spots, 587 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: like to bet on in these exact spots. So yeah, 588 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 2: the wise guys are digging themselves.
