Did 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.800 you run for the hills of Hawaii? Did you try 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.959 to swim out into the Pacific Ocean to get away 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.640 from the wedding and we will answer all of those 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:34.920 burning questions as only we can't here on the Saturday edition. Right, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.080 so this is today. You know what today is, Danny, Right, 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.720 you know what today is. Yeah, time to slide back 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.119 into the penny costume. That's right, all right, strike up 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:52.440 the band, here we go. Welcome, players, welcome, It's time 0:01:52.480 --> 0:02:01.080 now penny versus the penny. All right, Before we get 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.800 to Week thirteen in the NFL, let's take a look 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.720 back to Week twelve. And it was awkward, Danny, without 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.520 your last couple of weeks we've had. We had Alex. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.720 He did a great job. But Alex is more into 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.000 anime than football, and uh and so that you know, 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.720 that's just his Michigan as he loves the anime. If 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.960 we had like an anime, pick them, that would have 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.000 been been really good. But he handled it well. He 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.560 was a professional, kept his head down, kept going. So 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:35.600 in Week twelve, which was the Thanksgiving festivities, I had 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.519 a middling week. I did not have a great week. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.679 I did not lose. There were sixteen games. I went 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.000 eight and eight against the spread. So it really depends 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.320 if you picked the right games. Were pretty happy with 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.000 me to pick the wrong games you don't like me, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.160 and I lost several heartbreaking games. The Ravens were in 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.079 control against Jacksonville, they took it on the chin. I'd 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.680 go down the list of the bad beats because there 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.960 were tons. Uh. I think. I think there were three, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.959 possibly four games that were in the bag, and then 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.480 in the late stages of the fourth quarter it went 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.600 the opposite way. And then that happens. It's why we 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.080 call it gambling. And I also won a couple of 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.560 games I shouldn't have won, so I don't think it 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.320 even out. I should have probably had a ten, ten 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.080 and six type week, but ended up eight and eight 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:28.440 but still five. And the Penny shockingly also went eight 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.800 and eight day, so we we had the same exact record, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.080 and that I don't I think that happened in week one. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.119 I believe yeah, week one. I'm looking at the notes 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.440 I wrote down here ten and six and ten and 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.440 six in week one. So we're eight and eight this week, 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.160 and I have not a knock on wood had a 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:54.360 losing week since week two. Since week two, have not 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.200 had a losing week overall, Benny versus the Penny. If 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.400 you look at the KI run the graphics on the 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.680 fifth hour. Here you see the screen. If you look 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.640 at the screen here, you see that I have a 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.080 hundred and six wins, sixty nine losses, and five ties. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.240 That's a six oh six winning percentage. The penny eight 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.920 six ninety four and three, so under five four s 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.039 winning percentage. The penny has not been above five hundred 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.880 since all the way back in week number six, so 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.640 it's been it's been a while. Will this be the 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.159 week for the penny? Probably not, But please tell me 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.200 that last week you did not take your boy Geno 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.520 Smith over Josh Jacobs. Uh No, No, I had the Raiders, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.600 Actually did the Raiders, So I did did go that direction. Anyway, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.120 let's get to it here. We're gonna know we're not 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.919 gonna talk about Kyler Murray, Alligator Arms Murray or the 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.719 Carolina Panthers because they are not playing. So they're the 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.440 two teams that are on the by. And if you're 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.000 new to the show and you're saying, what the hell 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.080 is this, I don't understand. It is very simple, very simple. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.719 I moonlight handicapping games. It's something I've done for a 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.440 long time. I like it, like crunching the numbers and 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.839 seeing what has happened, trying to project the forecast on 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:24.440 what's gonna happen. It's man versus inanimant object representing the penny, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.760 because the penny does not speak. Is the great Danny 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.719 g As we've gone through here, and who can pick 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.520 more winners? The home team is Heads, the road team 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.000 is Tales because you travel on your tail sitting and 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.400 you took us via plane, trains and automobiles. And so 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.560 here we go. Early games, New York Jets at the 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.240 Minnesota Vikings, and the Jets come in seven and four 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:54.839 Minnesota nine and two overall. It on CBS with Iron 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.480 Eagle and Charles Davis. Now, the Vikings opened a three 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.520 point favorite. The line has stayed flat. Minnesota with the 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.680 bounce back last week and they beat the Patriots even 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.760 though New England had a very successful day offensively. But 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:15.039 the Vikings bounced back after that debacle the previous week, 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:21.359 and the money a big lean almost on the Jets. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.040 Temperatures outside in Minnesota being the thirties but weather controlled 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.680 at US Banks Stadium, climate controlled, and I want to 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.680 take the Jets in this game. Now, I'm not completely 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.320 sold on Mike White. He's got that generic name, but 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.919 so far he's had a dynamic game. Uh and the 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.400 reason why I like the Jets though he's he's just 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.320 been what the doctor ordered. Anybody but Zach Wilson. You 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.520 wonder how much of this last week was because the 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.719 Bears played a bunch of backups and guys that should 0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:00.760 be delivering sandwiches. On defense. Minnesota is an upgrade, but 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.200 I'm not sure they're that huge and upgrade. Even though 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.719 they've got the sexy nine and two records. The Vikings 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:10.000 that have won, by my account, four games that they 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.160 could have should have would have loss. So it's much 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.000 different if the Vikings are sitting here with five or 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.520 six wins as opposed to nine wins, and the Vikings 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.240 have a couple of starters injured on defense and the 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.520 Purple People Eaters are ranked thirty feet in total defense, 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.320 so everyone's putting up big yardage against the Minnesota defense. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.880 Despite the nine wins over the last month, the Viking 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.400 defense ranked thirty second. And I love the matchup of 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:44.440 Sauce Gardner as he's gonna shadow box Justin Jefferson, the 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.960 star receiver from the Minnesota Vikings. The Jets have a 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:53.040 better defense, They have a top five defense and a 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.800 quarterback who is not gonna f things up. I'm taking 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.680 the Jets as a small underdog. Jets thirty and the 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:09.559 Vikings eight, and the penny picks right off the bat. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.800 The penny going against you taking the Vikings alright, the 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.480 Vikings is the pick. We move on now to Baltimore, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.320 Panic City. That would be Denver three and eight at 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.440 Baltimore seven and four. It's on CBS with Kevin Harlan 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.360 and Trent Green on the call. The Ravens opened up 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:35.240 a big six and a half point favorite in this game. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.839 And let me get the freshest line here as I 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.240 gotta click refresh on this to see the latest line, 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.760 and it has stayed all the way up at eight. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.920 So an eight point line in favor of the Ravens. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.480 As most everyone is betting on Baltimore, they think that 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.679 this is free money on the Ravens. And there's no 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.120 way that the Brocos can compete here at M ANDT 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.840 Bank Stadium, the house that sports with Coleman built, it's 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:06.240 cloudy fifty two degrees at kickoff. Now, Lamar Jackson's Ravens. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.240 You look at all the winds they've piled up with Lamar, 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.400 but from a gambling standpoint, they have been particularly great 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.600 at home, and certainly not as a home favorite. Lamar 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.080 Jackson seven and fifteen against the spread as a home 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.560 favorite of three and a half or more, not counting 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.520 Week one, and recently the Ravens are oh four and 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.840 one against the spread at home. That's this season. There 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.720 four and two against the spread on the road. They 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.120 did lose last week and that late loss to Jacksonville. 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.240 And then you look at the other side. Russell Wilson. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.160 Much of this he built in Seattle, but russ as 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.960 an underdog in his career twenty eight and fourteen against 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.839 the spread. I'm gonna do the unthinkable, the unimaginable. I'm 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.600 gonna dig a hole and bunker down with the Broncos 0:09:55.360 --> 0:10:00.360 getting eight points. Russell Wilson has guided a historically bad 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.040 Bronco offense. They're the worst offense in football. But the 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:08.160 defense has held its own and so I'm really I'm 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.080 playing my confidence game. It's worth pondering the Bronco defense 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.319 because the Ravens have their own issues. They blew the 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.400 lead against the very blah Jacksonville team. The value is 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.000 on the side of the of Denver because Lamar Jackson, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.400 I can give you all kinds of numbers here, but 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.400 he is not played well. This is supposed to be 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.160 a money grab season. It hasn't happened. But the main 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.680 reason to have a little more faith in Denver is 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:41.360 the left tackle of the Ravens is hobbled. Ronnie Stanley 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.600 has got a bad ankle, and at the time we 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.800 are recording Benny versus de Penny, it looks like he's 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.360 not going to play. And if he does play, how 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.640 affective will he be? So a lot of juggling on 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.319 that offensive line here. Baltimore has been so dependent on 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.400 Justin tucker Field goals. I don't doubt that that the 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:05.320 Ravens will will win this particular game, but I don't 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.880 trust that the touchdowns are gonna be there for Lamar 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.360 Jackson and the Broncos. I'm not gonna sit here and 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.480 up sell there their offense with nuggets and wisdom because 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.960 there aren't many. Uh. They're bad, Uh, they're they're in 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.800 quicksand but anytime you get over a touchdown, you gotta 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.880 take it. So I'll take the Broncos plus the eight 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:37.520 Ravens twenty three and The Broncos seventeen the final and 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.240 it looks like the Penny also wishes it was invited 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:47.040 to Wilson's birthday party. Going with the Broncos, I don't 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.920 understand who invites the entire staff to their birthday party. 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:57.600 Isn't that a little weird? Your unlimited birthday seating? I mean, 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.920 we have parties. We're gonna have a Christmas party. I 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.280 guess ugly sweater party coming up. I'll wear the Hanocker thing. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.960 But we don't invite everyone at my work or my 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.599 wife's work. We invite people that we we like and 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.080 people that were around, and you know, usually people we've 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.559 known for a while. That's usually how it works. I thought, 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:21.160 I it's odd whoever is not there automatically hates you 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.760 exactly exactly, you know. And there's some people I stopped 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.720 inviting because I did invite him every year and they 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.600 never showed up. And so I said, all right, they 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.360 don't want to come there. Rather than have them say 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.680 they don't want to make it or make some bullshit 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.840 excuse up where they can't go, I'll just not invite them. Uh, 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.080 and then they don't have to do it, all right? 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:44.640 Next up Pittsburgh four and seven and Atlanta Falcons at 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.520 five and seven. It's on CBS with Andrew Catalan and 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.880 James lofton the Game Open to pick them Falcons at 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:57.320 one point favorite at home the Mercedes Benz Stadium, the 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.000 place that Jerome Drenovitch Well likely being attendance or old 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.960 friends Roome Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association lives in suburban 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.439 Atlantic is a huge Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I gotta think 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.200 he'll be there at this game. I haven't texted him, 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.160 but I'm assuming he's gonna be there. And most people 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.440 betting on Pittsburgh and I can give you numbers on this, 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.280 but I'm gonna take the Steelers here. I'm gonna take 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.040 the Steelers in this game, and I actually like Pittsburgh 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.800 a lot. The logic behind this pick me explain why 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.840 I'm going with the Pittsburgh football team. The Steelers have 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.920 found a little something. In the last month or so. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.840 T J. Watt has come back, the defense has been 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:42.000 wonderful Pittsburgh. Overall, they ranked twenty five in total defense, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.960 but the last month there are top ten defense in 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.280 the NFL. And that recipe that Mike Tomlin has been 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.480 cooking up. I'm giving it the chef's kiss here because 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.000 you've got defense, the ability to run the ball, and 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:02.960 error free football. In big moment from Kenny Pickett, you 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.640 don't lose a lot. That's a sweet pill to swallow. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.640 You don't lose a lot with that. And that's been 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.480 the way it's gone here lately for Pittsburgh. Kenny Pickett's 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.600 got three straight games with no turnovers and now he 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:20.760 goes against a whipped cream soft Atlanta defense. You got 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.520 Pittsburgh who's top ten in rushing yards per carry. The 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.240 Falcons are a one trick pony. They can run the ball, 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.480 but Pittsburgh has been pretty good against the run over 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.080 the last month. The Steelers are sixth and run defense 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.800 their fourth over the last month. So everything, every indicator 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:43.960 we look at says Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pittsburg. The Ysers 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:50.400 so Yanser's twenty four and the Falcons twenty. The final 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:59.280 land the Penny and my penny is still on island 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.920 time band going with Marcus Mariota and the Falcons. Okay, 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.240 bad pick by the Penny, but I'll take it. I'll 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.720 take that. That's a win. For me. The next up 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.920 as we grind on on Benny versus the Penny, another 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.680 game that I have a strong opinion on. We pick 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.359 every game. Some games I like more then others. Tennessee 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.840 seven and four at Philadelphia ten and one. It's on 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.200 Fox with Kevin Burcott and Greg Olsen. This is the 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.800 big game on Fox in the early television window. And 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.520 Philadelphia has been a whole different beast this season with 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:39.160 that ten and one record only one hiccup along the way. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.600 The Eagles opened a six and a half point favorite. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:48.480 They are favored by five. The Titans getting most of 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:53.800 the money and sunny, no really bad weather. It's gonna 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.240 be fine, sunny with temperatures in the forties at Lincoln 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:02.280 Financial Field. And I love of the Titans. This was 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.840 one of my strong players this week. And here's why 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.000 you remember the Washington Commanders when they were able to 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.240 win against Philadelphia. How do they do that? They won 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.880 that with a power running game and a defense that 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.320 was able to make some plays to stop the run. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.240 Those are the same ingredients that Tennessee brings to the table. 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.920 Mike Rabels, coming off a loss, you like the Titans 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.280 a little more coming off a loss Rabel twenty one 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.280 and seven against the spread as an underdog of three 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:38.000 or more points, and you look at everything, every indicator. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.360 The Eagles that great record, but the defense is showing 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.760 some signs are cracking. The Birds are ranked second overall, 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.320 but the last three weeks they've been in the middle 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:51.000 of the pack defensively. They've actually their number sixteen, behind 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.360 the Cardinals and the Falcons over the last month. And 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.640 this is a value pick because you get the Titan 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:04.840 power running game against an injured, mangled Eagle defense signing 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.840 guys like a Dominican su off their lazy boy cheers 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.360 in Philadelphia. Also without their strong safety c J. Gardner Johnson, 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:18.199 he's dinged up. So Tennessee can slow the run with 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.760 a solid d. They will do that and they will 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.800 be able to run the ball against the bird Brains. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:29.920 Titans upset City lost number two scrub down the Birds. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:39.280 Titans twenty seven, Eagles twenty four the final and I 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.760 think you both are the bird brains. Penny also going 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.359 with the Titans. You watch out, Danny, because the smack 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:50.159 in the face from the Titans to the Eagles huge, huge, 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.240 Next up, Jacksonville four and seven, at Detroit four and 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.640 seven on Fox our friend part of the Fox Bus 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.640 Radio hum Not Association, Chris Myers and Robert Smith. They 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.960 have the call from ford Field. This game opened Lions 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.240 by one. It is a pick them. Most people betting 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.960 on Jacksonville cloudy in the thirties in Detroit, but inside 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.719 ford Field, it's all good. It's all good in the neighborhood. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.280 So I'm gonna take the Lions in this game. And 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.720 here's why we're talking. Uh, you know, you're talking about 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.600 a matchup of two even teams, same record. But we 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.840 liked the Detroit side mainly because of Aiden Hutchinson, who 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.200 We've been hyping this guy up and he's been wonderful, 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.840 especially for for gamblers. Grabs your attention. The Lions are 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.359 roaring on that side of the ball. They are shot 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.120 against Buffalo on Thanksgiving to win that game, so it's 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.920 a mini by. They've got a little extra time coming 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.960 into this game. Statistically, they were terrible early in the season, 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.800 but another one of these teams. Over the last month, 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:04.520 they have been clicking, licking. The run defense is a concern, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:09.200 but Jacksonville they're not a heavy run team. They haven't 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:14.080 been that over the year this season and uh, Trevor 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.640 et En is supposed to come back, how effective will 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:23.080 he be? Trevor Lawrence has stacked three good games in row, 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:29.119 rather quietly, six touchdowns, a passer rating of a hundred 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.200 and sixteenes averaging almost nine yards per templar last month. 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.320 That's really good. But he goes against the Motor City 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:41.160 kiddies here. I'm gonna stand with them, and I also 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:42.800 like the Lions to be able to move the ball. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.920 They're the better team here talent wise. With Jamal Williams, 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:51.439 the powerback, Amon Ross st Brown as playmakers for Jared Goff, 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.240 this will be nip and tuck. The only red flag 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.320 here the Lions offensive line dealing with the creeping crud, 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.919 and there could be without two starters, which obviously scares 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:07.240 you a lot with backups playing, and you don't want 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.720 to get rick rolled by the backups. But I will 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:14.920 take the Lions in a pickum four Jags twenty three 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:22.320 the final, and the Penny go in the other direction, 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.600 taking the Jags alright. Disagreement on that, We press on 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:31.080 on Benny versus the Penny, don't forget On the Saturday podcast, 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:35.200 we cut the cheese with Danny g All wedding coverage, 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.679 have other well, have other nonsense, but it's all we 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:44.080 can get to insider information, Global exclusives. Coaster ride of 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.520 a wedding that you had, Danny. They do call the 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:53.119 Road to Hannah the road to divorce, all right? Next 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:58.560 up Washington seven and five at the New York Football 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.919 Giants seven and four. It's on Fox with Kenny Albert 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.800 and Jonathan Vilma. A home game where Kenny, who lives 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.760 in the New York area, he gets to call a 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:14.560 game at home. I'm gonna take the Commanders in this game. Now, 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.199 Washington is a two and a half point favor. They 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:19.720 opened as a pick them. Most people are betting on 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.440 the Giants. It will be in the forties at MetLife Stadium. 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:28.439 Washington's found a little pixie dust with Taylor Heineke, who 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:33.360 statistically is not very good. There's nothing to really get 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:38.480 excited about, but he's carved a niche here of winning football. 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.080 Like teams more confident on offense, they just are our 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.520 click a licking with with this guy quarterback. Now, the 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:49.719 Giants have been very good with Brian Dable this season. 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.520 They're eight and three against the spread. But as as 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:56.840 I said, I'm taking Washington the Commandos. They've been a 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.440 bit of a wagon of late. The Commander's defense ranked 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:03.560 ain't oh, we're all in the big season, but second 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.280 over all the last month, and they should be able 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.439 to run the ball down the throats. They will be 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.840 able to run the ball down the throats with the Giants. 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:15.520 With Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson, yin and yang, they 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.760 crossed the rubicon here. Also, the Big Blue offensive line 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:24.240 is battling a bunch of injuries and illness. They've got 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:28.879 the creeping crud. Also, three starters, the right tackle, left guard, 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.000 and center all circled on the injury report. So good 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:37.879 luck slowing down Montez Sweet and those other gladiators for 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:42.240 the Washington football team. Final score the team formerly known 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:48.680 as the Redskins with all their baggage three and the 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:54.440 Giants seventeen. The final is Danny Dimes going down here 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:59.200 a terrible record against the spread as a favorite. I 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:07.399 know they'ren underdog, but the Giants go down. The penny says, 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:12.919 fuck Robinson and those ridiculously ugly big hats going with 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:15.440 the Giants. Do you see how much of those things 0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:20.080 cost by the way, probably eight oh, you're close. Seventy 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:24.840 five dollars is the beginning price for those oversighted good guests. Yeah, 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.200 the uglier things are, the more expensive they seem to be. 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.920 I have never seen anyone where one of those sets, 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.440 have you ever? Like randomly, there's people wear hats all 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:36.880 over l A where we are millions and millions of people, 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.159 I've never seen anyone in a hat like. No, I 0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.400 don't think we're gonna see that either. Because somebody might 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:44.600 pose with it at their house as a joke, I 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:47.960 don't think anybody would actually walk out in public wearing one. Well, 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.159 they claim they've sold their sales went up two thousand percent, 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.600 but that might mean they went from no sales to 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.680 like half a sale, you know, And it doesn't necessarily 0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.479 mean that that there's a ton of people buying it. 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:01.399 If I had a TV show or something like that, 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.359 I'd probably buy one because it'd be a good gag 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:08.080 thing to wear exactly. But outside of that, I mean, yeah, 0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.800 it is a that's a tough look. You imagine getting 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.439 on a plane having somebody how about if you're how 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.760 about if you're at a ball game and the person 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.720 in front of you's got the giant funny hat on Jesus, 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.720 especially your team, big old ram Horns, you'd really look 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:23.800 like a ram head. I mean you might have to 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:25.280 slap him in the back of the head. You might 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.760 have to to break their head open. All right, Next 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:32.680 up Cleveland four and seven and Houston one, nine and one. 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.360 Normally we just skate over this game, but it's not 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:41.880 your normal Houston Cleveland game. It's on CBS Spireaudidas and 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:47.639 Jay Feely have the call as the Shaun Watson goes 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:51.199 into the scene of the crime. The Lions. Then the 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:54.040 Browns opened a five point favorite, but all the way 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:59.240 up the seven, which I don't get. The Browns are 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.280 not a good team him and most people think this 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.640 is free money. All you have to do is put 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.159 a couple of bucks down on Cleveland and you'll get 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:12.280 your money back. Over the action in favor of the 0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:17.639 Brown Backer bandwagon. Light rain in Houston, temperatures in the 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:19.920 seventies at NRG Stadium, which is a dome, so it 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:23.879 doesn't matter. The Texans have dropped three straight against the spread. 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.280 The Browns they they as a franchise, are oh and 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:32.040 seven against the spread against Houston. And if you really 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.879 really want to dig deep here, how about this stat 0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:40.000 the Browns the last fifteen games as a favorite, the 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:45.120 Cleveland Browns are two twelve and one. So I'm gonna 0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:50.000 cover my eyes. I'm gonna hold my nose here and 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.440 bet on the jibrones from Houston. I'm taking the texts. 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.000
