Speaker 1: Throwing in so.

Speaker 2: I'm sitting in to cash stop.

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: We'll see the most gamblers when they go to gamble,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: they go to Wind. That's incredible, big bank, small banks.

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: I like to make money. All right. This is the

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,680

Speaker 1: I'm your host, Chris Raybien. This is a very special

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: NFL Week eighteen betting preview. Today we'll build our Sunday

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: six pack up against the spread bets with the help

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: of my co host, the Prime Minister of Degenerate Nation,

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: Stucky Stucky with up. Happy New Year. I hope your

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: week was better than mine, because I had another just

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: terrible betting week. How about you.

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, Happy to year to everybody. Now another

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: losing week for many. This year's has been terrible. Sorry

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: to anyone who's been following. I've had three other years

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: like this in other sports where I think like two

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: years ago college basketball, six or seven years ago college football,

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine NFL where you have bad calls

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: and then like everything else just works against you as well.

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: Falcons and overtime was brutal. I know you lost the

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: Broncos in overtime. The forty nine ers, I mean that's

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: a dog that covers ninety nine out of one hundred times.

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: In the past, they had a sixty percent success rate.

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: The only teams's had a sixty percent success rate this

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: season five Yeah, they've all won by thirty or more. Lion,

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: the discrepancy between the good and bad teams is wider

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: than I've assumed. And you also got to remember still

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: one season of small sample sizes, like like I mentioned before,

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine was like this, everything went back

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: to normal. But we could have nine teams this year

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: that finished with four or fewer wins. We've never had

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: more than seven, so bottom of the NFL. And like would,

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: favorites are just on a historical run. I mean, I

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: think since Week six or hitting fifty eight percent against

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: the spread, I mean that is I can't even put

41
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: into words how crazy that is. Favorites of more of

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: six or more points. We're twenty seven to one in

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: the month of December. The only one who won was

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: the team incentivized to lose the Giants last week.

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, go figure out. That's a bit called by UML.

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: The only team that has brought me joy this year

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: is Drew Locke. That's it. The worst quarterback in the NFL.

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: Basically got to win every bet to make it a

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: good year from here on out. So that's what I'm

50
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: going to try to do.

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go straight into the week eighteen six

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: pack Thursday for action.

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: Let's crack open the Sunday six pack.

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: All right, so we'll jump right into our Week eighteen

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Sunday six pack. No Thursday night football this week. We

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: got a couple of Saturday games included in the six pack,

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Ravens Browns and the Bengals Steelers. So the got the

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: AFC Norse playing Saturday. Everyone else is on Sunday. Our

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Week eighteen six pack forty seven thirty eight is the score.

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Trying to get back right here. I'm up first for

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: the first pick of the week eighteen six pack. I'm

62
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: going with the New York Jets plus one and a

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: half against the Miami Dolphins. And this just comes down

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: to a couple of things. Number One Dolphins doesn't look

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: like Tua is gonna go you know, I thought he

66
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: would have gone last week if he was going to,

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: but apparently the hip injury is worse than they led on.

68
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Been just a weird year for injuries. I thought for

69
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: sure he would have played last week, but it looks

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: like he's going to miss again. And for the Jets,

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's Rogers or whoever, you know, Tyrod Taylor,

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: this going. Yeah, I mean that's what I think too.

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: But you might see some Tyron in this game, never know,

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that Rogers is going to go

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: for the Jets. You know, they're still playing for pride.

76
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: They still do have some veterans on that team. And

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I just think this team, you know, pretty similar to Miami.

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: I guess they're like the Jets played worse than their

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: record Miami, you know, especially if Ta doesn't go. They're

80
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: just a middling kind of blow average team going on

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: the road to the East, you know, to East Coast

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: City late in the year. Give me the New York

83
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: Jets here to end it right and probably uh kiss

84
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: their fans off and getting by getting a win here.

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just would have been one of mine, because

86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: I don't Again, we're it's early in the week of

87
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: recording this on Tuesday morning, so a lot of guests

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: work when he's gonna play. I they came out and

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: they said Rodgers is going to start. They expect Rodgers

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: to start, Over said, judging from the verbage, I don't

91
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: think two is going to go. I think that this

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: line would be fair if to a Went. I don't

93
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: think so spar is gonna go. Wat'll getting it back.

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: So if accounting for all that, I think this line

95
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: would be fair if to a Went. But without Tua,

96
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that the Jets be like a

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: field goal favorite here. It's part of like what's going

98
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: on with the Jets does worry me, Like some of

99
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: the just the background stuff with some of the comments,

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: and there's I don't know where the vibes are, but

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: I expect them to show up here. They can end

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: the Dolphins season. We see this all the time. Teams

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: that are eliminated in the final week of the season

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: historically sixty percent against the spread against teams that are

105
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: playing that need to win to get in the playoffs

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: last week. It's over the final two weeks of the

107
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: regular season, I should say. Is that stat dating back

108
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: to nineteen ninety sample size of about two hundred games,

109
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: and we saw it last week. Those teams I think

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: went three and three, Giants being one that won outright.

111
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: We saw the Cardinals cover and we saw the Bears

112
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: cover as well. Were the three teams that did cover

113
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: divisional rival They lost to them in overtime earlier this season.

114
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: So I think they get up for this game. And

115
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: the Jets have just been extremely unlucky last week. They

116
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: got their bell wrung in Buffalo. That will happen, but yeah,

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: I mean this Miami team is extremely limited. I think

118
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: on both sides of the wall. If Huntley goes and

119
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: a touching from the verbiage, I think that that's going

120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: to be the case here.

121
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: And they're not even bury the lead. We also have

122
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: thirty one degrees forecast, double digit wins, slight chance of snow.

123
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: We know, we know that Dolphins don't like to play

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: in that, especially the end of the year. So ah yeah,

125
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: that that's cirking into Jets favor as well.

126
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: For my first pick of the week, eighteen Sunday six pack,

127
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Seattle Seahawks minus three at the

128
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. I'd play this up to four. I

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: think that this line. This line reflects that some starters

130
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: are going to be out for the Rams, but I

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: don't think it's fully accounted for if you look back historically. Now,

132
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: the Rams do have like a semi incentive, right because

133
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: if they win, then you can avoid you can avoid

134
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: playing either the Vikings or the Lions, whoever loses that game.

135
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: But if you look historically, McVeigh doesn't care about seeding.

136
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: So you go back to his back to twenty seventeen.

137
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: They clinched the division in week sixteen, same exact scenario

138
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: as this second to last week, and they were locked

139
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: into the three or four same scenario, but they decided

140
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: to rest their starters and they lost to the forty

141
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: nine ers by twenty one, and then they ended up

142
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: losing the wildcard round. Last year they clinched the playoff

143
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: firth and the second to last week, Week eighteen, they

144
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: could have been the sixth they could have been the

145
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: seventh seed, they decided to rest their starters. They ended

146
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: up winning anyway because the forty nine ers also rested

147
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: their starters, and then they got the sixth seed. And look,

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: this team hasn't had a buy since week five or six,

149
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: so they haven't had a buye and forever. You can

150
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: kind of see it in the way that they're playing

151
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: like lately. I know that they keep winning, but I

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: mean it's been ugly for the past three weeks since

153
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: that Bills game. They've just gotten rather fortunate. So I

154
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: think that they're going to rest all their key guys,

155
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: and I think that's even more important for the Rams.

156
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: We talked about this early on in the season during

157
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: the preseason. The Rams don't have great depth, like just

158
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: to cross their roster, so if you're resting key starters,

159
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: I think it's going to show more than it would

160
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: with other teams. Now you have a veteran at quarterback,

161
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: Jimmy g will start, but this is like a star

162
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: heavy team. And then on the other side, I do

163
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: think that the Seahawks show up. I think that they'll

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: care McDonald, I trust in. I know that they were

165
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: eliminated last week, so there is a little bit of

166
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: a question of incentive. But divisional game, you have revenge

167
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: against the team that beat you at home in a

168
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: game you should have won, and it's the Seahawks on turf,

169
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: and that's a completely different offense this year. In three

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 2: games on turf. They scored twenty nine to thirty and

171
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: thirty four. Gino has major incentives he can get. He

172
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: can get up to, like, very realistically, four million dollars

173
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: in this game, because I think needs one hundred and

174
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: eighty six yards, has to have a reasonable completion percentage.

175
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: So I don't think that they're going to sit him,

176
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 2: and I don't think you get Sam Halle here, So

177
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: I think you get a full effort from the Seahawks.

178
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: And I think the Rams are number one. Rest of

179
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: start is number two. They're spending the week preparing for

180
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: their one of their potential playoff opponents, so I think

181
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: this line will continue to move.

182
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Ram's very notorious for going all

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: in when it comes to just resting guys if that

184
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: if it comes to it, We've seen it in the

185
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: preseason two. You know that's mcveigh's kind of prioritizes that.

186
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: So I can see the Seahawks being the only one

187
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: that go hard. Hopefully Gino doesn't just try to protect

188
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: the completion percentage. I mean, what it's some of those

189
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: like what that game against Icago, I don't know what

190
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: that was, but I what did you think of grub

191
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: in that game, I thought I thought he was like

192
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: some of the third down calls, it was like, you know,

193
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: third and long, you just throw a little bubble screen

194
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: like one yard beyond the line of scrimmage.

195
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: I don't what they were doing. Yeah, I don't know

196
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: if they're just were like the Bears aren't going to score.

197
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: It was odd, very bizarre game. Yeah, but the carrible

198
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: game off extra rest here too, and they just look

199
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: like a different offense when they're playing in conditions like this.

200
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: So I think you get a good effort from Seattle,

201
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: and I just think you get the Rams backups, their

202
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: all their key starters. Sit team with that with not

203
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: much depth, So I like the Seahawks.

204
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a pivot here. So we talked about

205
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: one of these AFC West teams. I'm actually gonna go

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: to the different AFC West team here. So my second

207
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: pick and the third overall the Week eighteen six pack,

208
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Kansas City Chiefs plus ten

209
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: at the Denver Broncos here, another team not incentive to

210
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: win here. They got the number one seed locked up,

211
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: but you're talking about the Chiefs on long rest. Still,

212
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs coaching staff still still a team that in

213
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos, that is a younger team you know, hasn't

214
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: been there before, played in a tough, you know, demoralizing

215
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: overtime game the week before, so you could see you know,

216
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: them playing a little closer to the vest if it's

217
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: if it's you know, a close game, they might not

218
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: go for it and every fourth down might just settle

219
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: for field goals here. And you know, I mean the

220
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: chief they have what three four weeks off, so they

221
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: actually have to play a meaningful game. So I still

222
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: think they're going to prepare for this Bronco team they can,

223
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: they have a chance to potentially knock them out of

224
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So yeah, give me the Chiefs plus ten.

225
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: I just think even with all the starters resting, I

226
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: mean this line, I mean you're talking about like essentially

227
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: a double digit move. That's just a lot of points

228
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: for me for a Chiefs team that I still think

229
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: is going to show up probably be a low scoring

230
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: divisional game, and it's still you know bo Nicks and

231
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: the Broncos. You can have some mistakes here, So yeah,

232
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: give me the Chiefs plus ten at the Broncos.

233
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this I mean, it's it's a very

234
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: difficult one to handicap. Who exactly is going to sit

235
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: out for the Chiefs? You know, most of their key

236
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: guys are so like breaking this down, if the Chiefs

237
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: were fully healthy, what are they here? Four point favorite?

238
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: If they're yeah, incentive line, So yeah, Mahomes is worth

239
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: like probably close to a touchdown to the spread.

240
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: YEP.

241
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: Now what I'm struggling to just and look the Chiefs

242
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: rest of their starters four times before in this situation,

243
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: all four times under Andy Read. Twenty thirteen, they were

244
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: plus fourteen and a half at the Chargers, who needed

245
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 2: to win for the playoffs, and the Chiefs blew a

246
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: late ten point lead. They actually missed a Fuel goal

247
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: to win. The Chargers got away with a penalty, the

248
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: NFL had to and the Chargers ended up winning an overtime.

249
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: The The NFL had to offer an apology after the game.

250
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: They were plus fourteen and a half, should have won

251
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen plus three. They won at Denver twenty seven

252
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: to twenty four. That was my Homes his first start.

253
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 2: He actually came out of again, came back in to

254
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: lead the Fuel with the game winning Fuel Remember that one. Yeah,

255
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, Chad Henny was plus seven against Herbert at

256
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: the Chargers in a totally meaningless game. They got blown

257
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: out in that one thirty eight twenty one. He was

258
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: competitive in the first half. And then last year Blaine

259
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: Gabbert plus three and a half first East and Stick

260
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: at the Chargers they covered in one outright, thirteen to

261
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: twelve in an ugly one. So they're three and one

262
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: against the spread in these spots. They've been a dog

263
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: in all four and they should have won three of

264
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: the four.

265
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: Yep.

266
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: So, and it's you know, Andy Reid knows how to

267
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: handle these situations. I do agree that the Broncos probably

268
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: played as conservatively now, so I think it's a bit

269
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: you're paying. I think there's a premium on the Broncos

270
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: given the spot here. Very low total too. I mean,

271
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 2: if you look who this year Broncos one win over

272
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: a playoff team, I think that's still all they have

273
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: going back to I think the Bucks early in the season. Yeah,

274
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: the one what I do struggle with and Carson Wentz

275
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: is I think better than a lot of those.

276
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right.

277
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: Gabbert, his company, Chase Daniel, the where I struggle with

278
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: is like the Chiefs offensive line has been such a mess,

279
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: Like what are you going to get a tackle? And

280
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: then you don't have Mahomes to like, and the Broncos

281
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: are going to bring pressure, so like, does it just

282
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: completely fall apart on Wentz? But uh, you know, I

283
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: expect you get who you're gonna get here. You're gonna

284
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: get You'll get Carson Steele, p Ryo.

285
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Good guys, you get professional football. I mean the Chiefs

286
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: their depth is lacking at certain spots, but I mean

287
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: this is still a deeper team than most in the NFL,

288
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff is still good. And who knows.

289
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean with the Broncos bringing pressure for example, is

290
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: is that something they dialed back because of the you know,

291
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: like I just think this team hasn't really you know,

292
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's been here, but this team really hasn't. So yeah,

293
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: I'll take the I'll take the two touchdown adjustment. Oh day,

294
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: because I've seen this too many times.

295
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the pressure, yeah is on Denver. So you

296
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: Chiefs can play completely loose here and you see a

297
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: lot This NFL season is different, but in the past

298
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: you would see this game be close and tight and

299
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: a lot of drama down to the wire. All Right,

300
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: for my second pick, any fourth overall of the week,

301
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: eighteen Sunday six pack, I'm going with the Baltimore Ravens.

302
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: Mind is notine in a half first half against the

303
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. Shop around. There's nine and a half tens,

304
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: ten and a half's out there. Obviously, try to get

305
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: the best number. As always. Ravens first game on Saturday,

306
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: obviously fully incentivized here. They win this game, they clinched

307
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: the division. They lose, they leave the door open for

308
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: the Steelers to win and take the division later on

309
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. So you're gonna get a full effort

310
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: from the Ravens here. What are you getting from the Browns?

311
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: I don't think Winston's gonna go He would make this

312
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: bet a little scarer just because of the variants. Pretty

313
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: confident in that. I think it's either another DTR game

314
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: or it's Bailey.

315
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: ZAPPI Bailey Zappy.

316
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: Those are I think the two options that the Browns

317
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: are gonna go with. I think Strong and Ford might

318
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: both be out. I think Denzel Ward is out as well.

319
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: I think their best remaining linebacker and Hicks might be out. Also,

320
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: how are the Browns going to score? They can't score anymore?

321
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: Does that? What are they just going to run forman

322
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: into walls? They can't throw it, you can't run on Baltimore.

323
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: Baltimore's defense trending way up over the past six weeks.

324
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: I guess the pass is Yeah, they really fixed the

325
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: pass defense, that's what it was.

326
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all the skip. They made a couple of

327
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: scmatch changes, and then most importantly, they move some guys around.

328
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: Talked about that a few times. And then this is

329
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: one of the best offenses in the NFL. And then

330
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: you have Lamar Jacks and look, they have revenge here

331
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 2: playing for the division at home. They're going to come

332
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: out with their hair on fire. Lamar fifty eight thirty

333
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: three and two against the spread in the first half.

334
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: Most profitable quarterback in NFL history sixty three point seven

335
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: percent covered by a field goal per game, which is

336
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: super impressive for a first half. Fifty twenty seven and

337
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: two against the spread is a first half favorite. That's

338
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: sixty five percent, covering by three and a half points

339
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: per game. And then how it when lang Over six

340
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: points twelve to two and one against the spread when

341
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: laying over a touchdown in the first half four to

342
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: oho against the spread. So I think the Ravens come

343
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: out I expect them to score. I don't know, seventeen

344
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: to twenty points. How are the brown scoring? This is

345
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: an ugly situation. I don't want to lay the seventeen

346
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: and a half because the Raidons are going to play

347
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: next week. If they win this game, they're going to

348
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: host a playoff game. And if they're just up like

349
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: twenty one nothing in this game, then you go into

350
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: and the Browns can't do anything, then you just go

351
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 2: into who preserve, make sure we stay healthy, get out

352
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: of town, right, So that's what would then, you know,

353
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: leaves the back door open. You could be up twenty

354
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: four late and then give up a touchdown and not

355
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: cover seventeen and a half. But I think the Ravens

356
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: come out here, score on three four possessions and I

357
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: don't see the Browns doing much. So give me the

358
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: Ravens first half trying to just there two favorites to start.

359
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: The Dogs don't cover.

360
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Anymo Yeah apparently, yeah, no, I mean it's always it's

361
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: kind of nerve wrecking because yeah, it is one of

362
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: those spots where the Browns don't have any incentives, which

363
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: in the past you would say, Okay, Browns probably cover,

364
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: but I mean, you are going first half and the Browns, Yeah,

365
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how they like dtr is so bad

366
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: and if we're not getting him, I mean, I guess

367
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: zactly would be an upgrade, but yeah, not by much.

368
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: All right. For my third pick in the fifth overall

369
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: of the week eighteen six pack of bone with the

370
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: Houston Texans plus one and a half against the Tennessee Titans,

371
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: And it looks like the Titans have tickets money. The

372
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: Texans can rest their starters in this spot. If they've

373
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: come out and said they're not going to we'll see

374
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: how long that last. I think they at some point

375
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: they will.

376
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: But looking at the Titans this year, quote from Demiko

377
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: was everybody asked you ready to go, and we'll see

378
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: how the game goes. Yeah, So I have no idea

379
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: what that means.

380
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: I think it means he's probably gonna play some guys

381
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: and not as long as other guys.

382
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: But uh, they need to get the offense going, yeah,

383
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: and they need to get that taste out of their

384
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: mouth from last week. I mean they're locked into their

385
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: seed too, so he got there. They're just trying to

386
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: balance like health and then also vibes around the team

387
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: and then also just hey, let's get the offense doing something,

388
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 2: because they offense since losing Tank Dell. They were rolling

389
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: in that Chiefs game. Lose Tank Dell, no pun intended,

390
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: went to the tank the rest of that game. And

391
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: then against the Ravens.

392
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: Nothing nothing, Yeah, And like what better team to beat

393
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: up on than the Tennessee Titans. And like this is

394
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: the thing of the Titans. We've talked about this. They're

395
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: point shaving operation. And now they're in a position where

396
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: like the number one pick can come into play again.

397
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they lose to the Jaguars that and I

398
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: think they end up closing as a favorite in that game.

399
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know, I don't know how, but they

400
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: end up closing is a favorite against the Jags.

401
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: The only favorite you can trust the fade this year

402
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: is the.

403
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: Titans, right yeah, so yeah, give me the Texans because

404
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: you know it's it's like, on one hand, you see

405
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: the money coming in on Titans, You're like, what, like, okay,

406
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: but I just don't think that even if it comes

407
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: down to a full game of Davis Mills and Texan

408
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: backups against the Titans. I think the Titans find a

409
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: way to lose this game. That's what. And you we

410
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: saw Callahan and Carton, you know, the coach in the

411
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: GM get a vote of confidence from ownership. I think

412
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: it was last week. So you know, I think the

413
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: tank is back on in full strength. It's probably been

414
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: on this whole time. But yeah, I just don't think

415
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: the text the Titans against Texans backups against Texans starters

416
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: are gonna get it done. And if we get the starter,

417
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: because essentially this line is saying we're not getting Texan starters.

418
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: If we get the Texans starters for any amount of time,

419
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Texans should be bigger favorites here. You

420
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: have t if you have a road dog coming off

421
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: a loss of twenty or more, sixty to forty nine

422
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: to fifty five percent against the spread, road dog, a

423
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: dog five hundred or better that scored less than ten

424
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: points in the last game. The Texans scored two seventy eight,

425
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: forty one and three sixty six percent over the past

426
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: two decades twenty seven percent ROI. So I think the

427
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: Texans do show up, whether it's the backups or the starters,

428
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not even concerned. I think I think

429
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: this line is giving them essentially like zero chance of

430
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: playing the starters, which, judging from what the Miko Ryans

431
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: is saying, I think that's closer to they play for

432
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: more like a preseason game, a quarter half, maybe even

433
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: longer and depending on this out of the ball. So yeah,

434
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: give me the Texans here plus one and a half.

435
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 2: I have zero feel I don't know what the Texans

436
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 2: are doing and how long they're going to play their starters,

437
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: so I but I'm not betting the Titans. I'll tell

438
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: you that, all right. For my third pick and the

439
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: sixth overall of the week eighteen Sunday six pack, I'm

440
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: going with the Dallas Cowboys plus four and a half

441
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: at home against the Washington Commanders. Once it's hit four

442
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: and a half, this is down at three and a half,

443
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: I gotta take the Cowboys four and a half, like

444
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: that's a key number in Dallas. Because Washington scores a touchdown,

445
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: you get twenty yards at home. Aubrey kicks a sixty

446
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: five yard field goal him at home. It's just like

447
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: you just need twenty yards. Now the Dallas offense without

448
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb, it's rough. He was the target monster on

449
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 2: that team. Commanders are incentivized here. I don't think they're

450
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 2: going to rest their starters because if you win, then

451
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: you lock in to the six and you avoid you know,

452
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: you play the Rams or who you would play? Who

453
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: you would play the Rams? Or who am I missing?

454
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: Or the Bucks? Rams or Bucks instead of the Eagles.

455
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: Whether the works is Washington wins, they clinched the six.

456
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 2: If Washington loses in green Bay wins, then green Bay

457
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: would jump up to the six. So they are incentivized here.

458
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: But it's a tough spot for you know, young team

459
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: coming off that emotional win. It was like one of

460
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: the biggest games in recent Commander's history, clinching a playoff

461
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: spot in overtime. But it's not like this team is

462
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: playing great lately, and they've had the easiest schedule in

463
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: the NFL to date. They've won five games on the

464
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 2: final play I mean, like going back all the way

465
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: to the Hall, Mary, do you want to know how

466
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: many playoff teams they've beat this year? One and it

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: was the Eagles who lost Jalen Hurts to injury and

468
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: they were about to blow that game open. The last

469
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: the Canando's have won three straight. Here's their results against

470
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback making his first start in overtime because

471
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: of a missed field goal and horrendous clock management game

472
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: they should have lost Hayn Rattler in New Orleans on

473
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: a two point stop and then Pickett who had to

474
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: come in for Hurts on the final play at the game. Like,

475
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: this team's getting pretty fortunate. They have some offensive line

476
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: injury questions. The defense is still very bad. Cowboys can

477
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: lean on Daddle here and Aubrey just getting like twenty

478
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: yard drives for free points. Commander's also like they have

479
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: nineteen fumbles on the year, they've only lost six. They're

480
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: nineteen of twenty two on fourth down, Like they've just

481
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 2: like so many high leverage things have gone their way

482
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: all season long. I don't think it's gonna last forever.

483
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys show up in the final home game.

484
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: They got embarrassed last week. This is the division rival.

485
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: Let no lamb Hurts here. But defense is still playing hard.

486
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: They played Washington very well in Washington, and they I

487
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: mean they played the run well. They can get pressure here,

488
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: especially if Washington's not a full strengthen on the offensive line.

489
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think the Cowboys can stay within four

490
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: and a half. So give me Dallas plus the points

491
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: at home.

492
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Washington's offense did not look good in that game.

493
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: You know it was that was the game with all

494
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: the odd special teams, you know, those multiple returns by

495
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the missfield goals and just but yeah,

496
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Washington's offense just didn't seem to really have anything going

497
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: for the first fifty five minutes of that game. And

498
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: then they got the crazy Tera McLaurin, not Hail Mary,

499
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: but just like a crazy play at the end of

500
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: that to score a touchdown. So yeah, I could see,

501
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: I could see the couple is hanging around here, all right.

502
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: It's just the commanders at the Commanders. Daniels has been awesome,

503
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: but I mean it's been ugly the last three weeks.

504
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: They could have easily gone oh in three. I mean,

505
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: Hurts doesn't get hurt. They lose that game, New Orleans

506
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: gets a two point conversion. I know that there's a

507
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: clock malfunction in that game, but still the offense didn't

508
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: look great in that game. And then against Atlanta, I

509
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 2: mean Atlanta just comedy Bears, and you win a coin toss.

510
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: Before that, their wins were over the Giants by five,

511
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: against the Titans, against the Bears by three on a

512
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: hail Mary, against the Panthers, the Browns, the Cardinals, and

513
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: you got to go back. They beat the Giants in

514
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: week two because they didn't have a kicker. You got

515
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: the most impressive win. You got to go back to Bengals.

516
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: Bengals had Cincy. I think they show up. They seem

517
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: like they still care at least.

518
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: All right, So that's our six pack. We got. Let's

519
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: see some Ginos, some Lamar, some Cooper Rush. I got

520
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: some Rogers Wentz and maybe some Davis Mills, maybe some CJ.

521
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: We'll see. But Seattle Baltimore first half and the Cowboys

522
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: for stuck, Jets, Chiefs, Texans for me, that's our wee

523
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: eighteen six pack. Now it's time for our coaches pep talk.

524
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: Every time we get ready to play, I just want

525
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: to throw up.

526
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm sick.

527
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm watching you guys play. Just how bad can it get?

528
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: All right?

529
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: This week's coach of pep Talk comes to us from

530
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: a legendary coach and zero times Super Bowl champion Marty Schottenheimer.

531
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: We're dedicating it to dead to all the underdogs, man,

532
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: because this has been just as the rough year for

533
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: the dogs. Man. Hopefully they bark in Week eighteen. Best

534
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: of up to all of them, especially the ones we're

535
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: betting on. Mind the mountain, you take one step at

536
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: a time, don't go looking at the top. You end

537
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: up flipping on your ass. One step at a time.

538
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 2: Man.

539
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: The only step in some horton is the next one.

540
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: Let's get into our favorite total of the week. All right,

541
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: I went first with six pack. Where are you going

542
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: for the total?

543
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was originally gonna go Jacksonville, Indy over. I

544
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: just think that game like it's squirrely. If Flaco starts,

545
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just going to be chucking it deep

546
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: like he did in the first meeting the mac Jones.

547
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: In that offense, they're still playing hard like that's just

548
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: but I'd like if the Colts just not show up

549
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: or they have corpse, I don't know so and I

550
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to be Richardson or Flac though,

551
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: And I get it wrong every time I get all

552
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: the Colts injury whatever, my projections are the opposite happens.

553
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: So let me just go Carolina Atlanta over forty seven

554
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: and a half. I'd like what I've seen from Panix.

555
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: This Panthers defense is really bad, like Atlanta's gonna be

556
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: able to run on them. They have injuries, they're back

557
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: to like the unit we saw earlier this year with

558
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: all the injuries they had. And then on offense, I

559
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: think Bryce Young and company indoors can move the ball

560
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: through the air. There's no Hubbard. I think they'll be

561
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: throwing it more here last game of the year, Let's

562
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: see more from Young. So I think this thing potentially

563
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: turns into a back and forth shootout. And I mean

564
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: the Panthers at this point, how do you not get

565
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: to thirty on them? And I just think Panix opens

566
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: up that Falcons offense so much more. You can do

567
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: so many more things. Just the versatility of that offense

568
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: off of the run game, with him being able to

569
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: move out of the pocket, you can actually throw with

570
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: a quarterback that's gonna move outside the tackle box. And

571
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: I've liked what I've seen from him so far. So yeah,

572
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: let me go Falcons Panthers over forty seven and a half.

573
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go with the final game of

574
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: the year. Let's go Ryans Vikes under forty, under fifty

575
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: seven and a half. I just think this is a

576
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: massive number. It's gonna be a game, you know, four

577
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: the number one seed, playoff implications, second divisional game matchup

578
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: jually a little lower scoring, a little tighter, and I know,

579
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, you're not Campbell's not gonna you know, He's

580
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: still going to be aggressive or whatnot. But I just

581
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: think that, you know, these teams, I think you could

582
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: see some some turnovers from Darnold that potentially, you know,

583
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: en some drives for the Vikings, and I just think

584
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: you have to be you have to be pretty much

585
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: perfect here with the total this high for and especially

586
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: in a like a game with playoffs implications things on

587
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: the line here, I just think this is way too high.

588
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Maybe if it was a mid season game, maybe if

589
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: it was the first divisional matchup, but second one, I

590
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: still think this total should be in the low low fifties. Obviously,

591
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: two great offenses, but I think Minnesota's been getting a

592
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: little bit lucky on offense, and we've seen this, you know,

593
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: just unders this year or unders since twenty twenty one

594
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: when the total was above forty nine or ninety five

595
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: and sixty five fifty nine percent, and this one is

596
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: way high. And so yeah, I have to go with

597
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the under. Fifty seven and a half. Vikings Lions last

598
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: game of the year should be a good one. But

599
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: fifty seven and a half, I feel like that's a

600
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: little inflated because of the prime time, because of the

601
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: stakes and whatnot.

602
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: I you're brave, man, I can't get there. I mean,

603
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: the Lions defense, since all these injuries happened over the

604
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: past three has been the worst in the NFL. I mean, statistically,

605
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: they're basically dead, even with the Panthers. And I mean, look,

606
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: they gave up forty eight to Buffalo. They even allowed

607
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: the Bears, who cannot move the ball right now, to

608
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: put up four hundred yards of offense. That's when I

609
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: knew that they were in trouble with all these injuries.

610
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: And then San Francisco, one of the five teams that

611
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: you got sixty percent success rate, they had five hundred

612
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: yards of offense. They all came the Lions four seventy

613
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: five to four to thirty nine. The only reason they

614
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: stopped them if San Fran puts up fifty in that game,

615
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: Rock Party overthrows a wide open receiver and they miss

616
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: multiple field goals in that game. They probably in that

617
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: game with forty five fifty O'Connell against this defense that

618
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: has nothing, I don't know, and then the Lions are

619
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: just gonna score on anybody. And look, Vikings. I was

620
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: really impressed with that win last week. But I will say,

621
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: like it's been a hell of a year. One of

622
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: the only things. It's been a great year for the Vikings.

623
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: But if you look back, they've won what ten straight

624
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: or nine? Yeah, now they've won nine straight. Here or

625
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: here are the games Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Chicago in overtime,

626
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: Arizona by one, Atlanta with cousins, Chicago, Seattle in a

627
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: game they were outplayed in by three. None of those

628
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: teams are going to the playoffs. Like, they finally beat

629
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: a playoff team last week, and the only playoff team

630
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: they beat in the entire season is the Backers twice

631
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: by I combined four points. So the schedule broke their

632
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: way this year. I make this because of all the

633
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: Detroit injuries. I mean, that team can't stop anyone did

634
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: this game. I wish I had a take on the side.

635
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: I think I make this like two Detroit minus two,

636
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: and it's gonna come down to just that, like does

637
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: Donald throw a pick in the red zone? Like does

638
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: he turn it over? Otherwise I don't see the Lions

639
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: getting stops, and then it's probably gonna come down to

640
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: Campbell fourth downs. I cannot bet the under here like

641
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: I need like sixty.

642
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go under here. Total Caroline Atlanta over forty

643
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: seven and a half, Detroit Minnesota under fifty seven and

644
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: a half. Let's get to our favorite teaser of the week.

645
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, six pointisers.

646
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: Don't tease no teas for me. I know you have

647
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: one this week's step where you're going.

648
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Jets. Already talked about

649
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 2: them to seven and a half low total game. I

650
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: think they win and the Steelers higher total air but

651
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: Bengals can't get enough stops to really blow anybody out.

652
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 2: So really interesting game there. I make it right around

653
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: the number with the Bengals. It's hard to see the

654
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 2: Bengals defense getting stops. It's hard to see the Steelers

655
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: stopping this Burrow juggernaut, right now like this just could

656
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: come down to like who has the ball last? Should

657
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: be an entertaining game. So yeah, give me Steelers and Jets.

658
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: Under dog money line part way turning good weekends into

659
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: great weekends. It's time for the money line parlay. I

660
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: guess I'll just go first since I do like the

661
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: Steelers plus one thirty six against the Bengals. You know,

662
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers haven't been playing well. The narratives are all

663
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: against them. They failed their tests, you know, lost all

664
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: these playoff teams. But as we saw, the Bengals are vulnerable,

665
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean against the Bronco team that you know, you

666
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: look at the quarterback matchup, he gives the Bengals the edge.

667
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: Bengals were at home and at spot too, and you

668
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: know it took a lot of fortune, a lot of

669
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: fortune for them to come out victorious. They may have

670
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: kicking issues here. The Steelers, I think you're gonna get

671
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: a good effort because they're you know, they've just been

672
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: they haven't been right, you know, so they want to

673
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: get back on the right track. And you have Tom

674
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: Win as a dog at home in a in a

675
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: spot where you could end a division rivals season. I

676
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: mean We've seen this too many times. Mike Tomlin still

677
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: over five hundred outright as an underdog in his career.

678
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: So I think the I think this is a matter

679
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: of yeah, maybe who gets the ball ass. I think

680
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers offense is gonna be a lot better with

681
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: George Pickens now we to get healthier. They look like

682
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: they're given Jaywen Warren more and more of the early

683
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: down stuff, which I think is is good because he's

684
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: He's just more effective than Nag at this point. So,

685
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: you know, Bengals to have the better offense, Steelers still

686
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: have the better defense and Bengals defenses it's an issue. Uh,

687
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be an issue. We saw it, you know,

688
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks throwing game tie and touchdowns and whatnot. And

689
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: the kicker could be an issues for the Bengals too.

690
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: So that's something with the Steers that we really haven't seen.

691
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like the Steelers for all the little

692
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: little things that kind of go their way, and this

693
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: is this is the kind of game I see the

694
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: Steelers winning late in the year. So yeah, I like Pittsford.

695
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: Well let's for mind, let's let's just make this correlated. Okay,

696
00:36:54,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: let's go with the Raiders on Sunday against the Charge,

697
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: because if the Steelers win, the Chargers then have no

698
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: incentive to play their starters because they will be locked

699
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: in to their seed and if they know that, they'll

700
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: be playing the Ravens. Assuming the Ravens also beat the Browns,

701
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 2: there is no reason to play anybody, and this line

702
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: will go down and we'll have some value of the Chargers.

703
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: So these two things are correlated. If the Steelers win,

704
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 2: then we're gonna have a really good position on a

705
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: Chargers excuse me, a Raiders Steelers moneyline parlay, all.

706
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Right, And that's so plus one thirty six for Prick

707
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: and Raiders at plus two fifteen, So that's a plus

708
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: six forty three parlay. So nice juicy parlway as well.

709
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, like that, like that for that angle that

710
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: you just mentioned with the Charge just being locked in,

711
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: all right? Uh so yeah, Raiders Steelers money line dog

712
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: parlay best of the rest the games. We have not

713
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: talked about in any other segment. That's gonna be a touchdown,

714
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: but that may be meaningful to some of you, do

715
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? All Right? First off, we

716
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: got the Bills at the Patriots. Patriots plus three at home,

717
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: the total is thirty eight in that one. Any thoughts

718
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: on this one stuff?

719
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's I assume the Bills are gonna

720
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: rest their starters, who exactly we don't know yet, But

721
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: the Patriots they're incentivized to lose. And there's like some

722
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: rumblings that they could start Joe Milton because like Drake

723
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: May kind of got banged up a little bit, so

724
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 2: they could just say like, hey, we're going to keep

725
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: them out as a precaution measure. But really it's like, hey,

726
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 2: let's secure the number one. So it's a team rusting

727
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: their starters locked into a seed versus team incentivized to lose.

728
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: Who's that. I don't know who the starting quarterback is

729
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: going to be, So I nothing, absolutely nothing on this game.

730
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: Maybe an under if Milton starts, But yeah, I mean

731
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: Miloni's just he runs around a lot. I remember him

732
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: from preseason. You're pretty decent. But I mean, why wouldn't

733
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: it May it's hurt whendn't you just start Bresett. That's

734
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: so that's so obviously tanking if.

735
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: They might want to, like they were going to say,

736
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 2: like yeah, I mean it's obvious tanking, but they could say,

737
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: like kin, it makes some sense, let's like get a

738
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: look at Milton to see if he should be the backup.

739
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: All right, So I don't know, way too much uncertainty.

740
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: Keep me a far away from the game the extent

741
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: we got the Saints at the Bucks, Bucks thirteen and

742
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: a half point favorites at I own the total forty

743
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: three and a half. Bucks do need to win here.

744
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: Thought about this one for the six pack, but this

745
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: Bucks offense is I mean, you know, the Saints defense

746
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: can't stop the run either, so I don't love the

747
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: matchup here. Any thoughts on this one.

748
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the line's too high from where I projected.

749
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: If this was fourteen, this would have been one of

750
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: my picks. I mean, the five upgrade of the Bucks

751
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: a ton since their first meeting. But what were the

752
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: Bucks against Rattler in the first meeting in New ORNs?

753
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: Like minus three and a half?

754
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: Granted, yeah, I think three and a half or four?

755
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, they put up fifty two and they blew him

756
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: out in the second half. I think they were trailing

757
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: at halftime.

758
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: Yep. Uh.

759
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: I think the Saints will show up like divisional game.

760
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: You know against the rival try to ruin their season

761
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: in this spot, historically the dog has done fairly well.

762
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: This fits one of those just fits that situation, eliminated

763
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 2: team playing a team that needs to win. I also

764
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: think that there's a chance of Lave Kamara and maybe

765
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: even Derek Carr play like I could see Car playing

766
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: so like he was trying to he was like trying

767
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: to practice last week, but they said like they just

768
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: were worried about him in the pocket. Kamara has some

769
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: incentives I think to play a Lave is saying he

770
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: wants to play if all I mean if Car, if

771
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: all three of them play. This line is way too high,

772
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: so I might end up on on the Saints here,

773
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: but uh, it's ugly if it's Rattler, and yeah, the

774
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: matchup isn't great, but Saints can come in. I think

775
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: the line's inflated, so it's it's uh, Saints or nothing.

776
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 2: But this year, you just say, the Bucks are way better.

777
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: They need to win. Just take the Bucks and then

778
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: they'll they'll come around.

779
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that they have an office that

780
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: can just go off when it needs to. I think

781
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: that's really the you know, it's if it was just

782
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: one off. It was going to be more of okay,

783
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: just they'll struggle to score. They'll they'll but like they

784
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: they're they're probably not going to struggle to score. So

785
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: it's the Saints are gonna have to put up points

786
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: in this one, I think, And I don't know about

787
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: that if you're not getting car olave or or comat

788
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: or even just like even like probably need all three

789
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: all right, Jags at the Colts Coats are Coats are

790
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: five point favorites home the totals forty five and a half.

791
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned thinking about the over in this one. Colts

792
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: five point favorites could be a bit much too. I

793
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: mean with the Jaguars, they don't I mean, what do

794
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: they were They're they're probably playing for like the pick too,

795
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 1: so they're probably incentivized to lose.

796
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're still trying out there, like this staff

797
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: they don't care about that. Mac Jones is still playing hard.

798
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't what do you what effort

799
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 2: do you get from the Colts who's starting a quarterback

800
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: like the Colts devastating loss last week? Do they just

801
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: lay an egg?

802
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: You think that they'll probably come out with a strong

803
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: effort to because you know, a week to eight because

804
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: of that game, So I would probably be in that way.

805
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: I probably getting a decent effort from the Colts a

806
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: week A week to eight. I have no idea pass

807
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: Bears at the pack Packers nine and a half point

808
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: favorites at home, the total forty and a half. Do

809
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: you how do you any caup this one? With Packers

810
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: kind of teetering.

811
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 2: On it, don't know, I don't know how they need

812
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: more news on this, like how are the Packers? Do

813
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 2: they rest starters and then just get ready for next week?

814
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: Do they want to see more from the offense after

815
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 2: last week showing because it's out of their hands? Washington

816
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: is a favorite. Do you want a risk injury? You

817
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 2: might end up at the seven anyway? Do you just

818
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 2: start preparing for I mean, you could win anyway if

819
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: you just go. If you go out there with Malik,

820
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: run the ball on the Bears. So I project it

821
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: close to where this number is too much uncertainty on

822
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 2: top of that, so pass.

823
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would think Lafloor probably plays a conservative, But

824
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: you're right, you can't really have confidence in the Bears

825
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: the way they've been looking because Malik has been one

826
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: of the better backups, and you're still going to have

827
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: decent players suiting up for Green Bay even if they

828
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 1: rest starters. So yeah, I'd have to see more news

829
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: to see exactly who's playing who's not. Ge men at

830
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Eagles minus three total thirty eight and a

831
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: half are the geam. I'm gonna do it again. They

832
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: seem they seem pretty motivated last week.

833
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 2: Is Barkley gonna play like, are they gonna go for

834
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: the record? That's or they should rest them for the playoffs?

835
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: They should, So I think the line kind of says, ye,

836
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: they are going to arrest them. So, I mean it's

837
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: minus three, But I don't think there's not There hasn't

838
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: been confirmation as we record this that that they're gonna arrest.

839
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: Them, like that could get them a couple scores, a

840
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 2: couple extra scores, Like I don't know. I think this

841
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: line's about right. Eagles are gonna rest their starters clearly,

842
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: and I mean aj Brown said that right after the

843
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 2: game last week. Giants had their great after last week?

844
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: What do you get from them this week? Tough game?

845
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: This is your classic tough Week eighteen game from this

846
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: is like this to me, this is Patriots and Bills,

847
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: like the team's kind of incentivized to lose last week.

848
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 2: They didn't show that. And then the Eagles are wresting

849
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: all their starters. Wh exactly going to the rest? Are

850
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: they resting Barkley? How are they going to handle this game?

851
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, Clay Peer, stay away from me.

852
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would. I think they'll probably rest

853
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: bark because they I mean, he had other chances to

854
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: go for records and they they he rested. They got

855
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: him the two k I I my feeling is that

856
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: they would, they would rest them here. But yeah, you

857
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get from the Giants even

858
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles is still a deeper team. So

859
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: so then we just got the Niners at the Arizona Cardinals.

860
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals favored by three, the totals forty four. Brock Perty's

861
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: talking about his elbow is on fire. Uh so, who

862
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: knows if we get him in this one? What are

863
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: your thoughts here?

864
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't think I would imagine party doesn't play in

865
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: a short week with that elbow injury, which is given

866
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 2: the issues before. So at three, it's it's cardinal I

867
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: think it's Cardinals. Are the side short week for the Niners.

868
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 2: They I mean, that was a great effort against the Lions.

869
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: Do they do they show up here? Do they have

870
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 2: a kicker?

871
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: Josh Jabs revenge, Josh Doabs re Josh Stobs revenge.

872
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: I think the market is like if party gets ruled out,

873
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: this will go up more. I think so. I think

874
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 2: at three it's Arizona or nothing. Arizona. I like their staff.

875
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: They show that they'll still fight at the week after

876
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 2: they were eliminated. I think that they'll care. Where are

877
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: the Niners at mentally not sure so Arizona are nothing

878
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: there I am.

879
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: I looking at under as well, and seems like a

880
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,720
Speaker 1: high total of Purdy doesn't go. They played a thirteen

881
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: to nine game against the Rams last week, so that

882
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: is going to do it. For the best of the

883
