Speaker 1: all on camera here, everybody but our guest today. You
Speaker 1: seem to be eating well. Everyone else is at lunch,
Speaker 1: but due to John Murray's schedule, we had to do
Speaker 1: this later, so I'm not able to go to lunch.

Speaker 1: you missing launch wouldn't be the end of the world. Oho,
Speaker 1: And so it begins and finished fourth in the non
Speaker 1: casino employed We go Here we go using Twitter polls
Speaker 1: against each other. Mike is very serious about these Twitter polls.
Speaker 1: Not He's very seriously. First of all, you can just anything.
Speaker 1: I make jokes about your weight, you could say same
Speaker 1: to you, fat so because I'm a fat so too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you are, but I would never stoop to
Speaker 1: that level because there's a lot of pastors where it
Speaker 1: may not be your fault and you're trying to get
Speaker 1: more healthy. Wow. Wow, now that's that beautiful Catholicism coming together.
Speaker 1: I love it, John, John, aren't you glad you agreed
Speaker 1: to do this? This is all we do for an
Speaker 1: entire forty five minutes every everyone. I'm very excited to
Speaker 1: come on and try to talk about the NFL with
Speaker 1: you guys. I apologize, Mike, I do. I overextended myself
Speaker 1: the last two days. I agreed to way too many
Speaker 1: interviews the last two days. I'm pretty sure the people
Speaker 1: that work here think I'm not doing anything and my
Speaker 1: office door is closed all day, just doing interview after interview.
Speaker 1: They probably think I'm just sitting back here watching TV.
Speaker 1: He's very popular, John Murray, that's what But that's what
Speaker 1: you do, John, I mean, they can't be made what
Speaker 1: you do. Know. I know it's a big part of
Speaker 1: the job now, you know that, Mike, and make part
Speaker 1: of the job now is promoting the different books and
Speaker 1: different media and it's a lot of fun. It's a
Speaker 1: lot more fun than going to another meeting, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that much. For those who don't know, that's the
Speaker 1: voice of John Murray. He is the executive director of
Speaker 1: Racing Sports at the Westgate the Super Book here in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas under Jake Cornegey's stewardship. John Murray, executive director
Speaker 1: of Racing Sports. So we're thrilled to have you John,
Speaker 1: first time ever on the megapod. And so here's how
Speaker 1: this works. Usually before we get into games, we get
Speaker 1: a contest update from Mike, but since you're here, we
Speaker 1: get to get a contest update, perhaps if you know
Speaker 1: it off hand from you first at the West Gate.
Speaker 1: Do you know what the leading record is in the
Speaker 1: Super Contest Classic or Gold right now? By any chance, John,
Speaker 1: I wish you would ask me that I could have
Speaker 1: had the guys pull the numbers for me, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I can look it up,
Speaker 1: and I can look it up very quickly, all right,
Speaker 1: if you want to look it up, you can. Otherwise
Speaker 1: in the meantime, we'll get an update from Mike Palm
Speaker 1: the Circus Sport Million. It was the first day of
Speaker 1: our final quarterly or your final quarterly there at circa.
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't start well. I started two
Speaker 1: and three. Todd had you dark and three? Two and three? Also, Mike,
Speaker 1: how many five? Oh? Is the first week of the quarterly?
Speaker 1: Only fifty only fifty one? Wow? That's still pretty damn good. Geez.
Speaker 1: And who is in the lead now for the whole deal?
Speaker 1: The booty Blockers maintains the lead. He's got forty six
Speaker 1: and a half points. He's got a two point lead
Speaker 1: over two other entries, and then a three point lead
Speaker 1: over an additional two entries. So there's five five entries
Speaker 1: within two points of the lead. Right now, booty blockers,
Speaker 1: I wonder what booty Blocker's means? What does that even mean?
Speaker 1: The name is Isaac. His first name is Isaac, so
Speaker 1: maybe he's part of your group God. But he's coming
Speaker 1: in today actually to collect, to collect from quarter three,
Speaker 1: I'd like to meet him from California. So he won
Speaker 1: quarter three as well, that's right, Yeah, he split quarter
Speaker 1: three and he's leading for the million. His Hebrew name
Speaker 1: is First of all, I'm not part of any group
Speaker 1: as part of a religion. I've renounced studios many times.
Speaker 1: I will renounce on air right now again. I am
Speaker 1: part of no group except the human race, and that
Speaker 1: is John will never do this show again. John, do
Speaker 1: you have an update for us with the Westgate Super Contest?
Speaker 1: Do I do? Gil lead? The leader is still that
Speaker 1: Tuco now Tucos alias is based off Tuco Salamanca. If
Speaker 1: you remember the bad guy from the season of Breaking Bad,
Speaker 1: he checked in a forty four twenty and one one.
Speaker 1: There's two people behind him at forty three one and
Speaker 1: one Crisper and Chicago Jeff right behind Tuco. So and
Speaker 1: then there's a whole group at forty three forty two
Speaker 1: and a half. You guys know, there's a long way
Speaker 1: to go here down the stretch in the NFL, so
Speaker 1: very still still very much up for grounds, no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. That's a super contest classic. I can get
Speaker 1: you the gold as well here, John, I got a
Speaker 1: I got a tech from Randy McKay said he was
Speaker 1: tied for the lead and the goal. Oh wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: do you know his alias offhand? Mike? No, I don't. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me see if I can get you the gold standings.
Speaker 1: Right here, there's two people at thirty nine twenty five
Speaker 1: and one Mike and one guy's contestant Workman w W
Speaker 1: two and the other guy is Walter Payton. So I'm
Speaker 1: not sure which one of those are, Mr McKay. But
Speaker 1: there's two guys at thirty nine five and one, and
Speaker 1: then there's two more people at thirty eight five and two,
Speaker 1: so they're about to have They're a half point behind
Speaker 1: those two. So the Gold obviously a bottleneck as well.
Speaker 1: Sweetness tied for the lead, but the Classic is one
Speaker 1: point four two million. I got to look up a
Speaker 1: gold bought on Okay, all right, we don't need to
Speaker 1: know that one point four two million for Classic circle
Speaker 1: million is for a million obviously, the quarter prize of
Speaker 1: hundred forty three thousand in that as well, and gold
Speaker 1: is whatever. Gold is also low six figures on that,
Speaker 1: all right, before we get into any best bets, and
Speaker 1: maybe this is one of your best bets, I don't know,
Speaker 1: But any thoughts on the Thursday night game at all
Speaker 1: Dallas favored by three at Chicago tonight, John, any thoughts
Speaker 1: on this game tonight? We're just overloaded here with nothing
Speaker 1: but Cowboys money. I don't have an opinion on this
Speaker 1: game myself. I thought the Bears were very lucky to
Speaker 1: escape the Lions last last week on Thanksgiving, but you know,
Speaker 1: Dallas looked awful night game against Buffalo. I guess, if anything,
Speaker 1: this would be a good time to buy in on
Speaker 1: Dallas after such a bad performance last week. We're gonna
Speaker 1: need the Bears here, Mike. I would imagine most books
Speaker 1: in town are going to be in that same predicament, Mike,
Speaker 1: what about years well? Uh, gil Um. I think to
Speaker 1: John's last point that if you if you'd have had
Speaker 1: to look aheadline like they do at Westgate, Um, this
Speaker 1: game probably would have been four and a half or
Speaker 1: five before Dallas looks so awful on Thanksgiving. I think
Speaker 1: it's a pretty cheap price on the Cowboys. I personally
Speaker 1: laid three with the Cowboys, but it's not one of
Speaker 1: my three best bets here. The strange things with the
Speaker 1: cow Boys is that you know they can lose tonight,
Speaker 1: they can lose next Sunday to the Rams, and then
Speaker 1: still win the division by beating Philadelphia and walking in
Speaker 1: the close of the year. It's just in that seast.
Speaker 1: I know, John, you and gilbeat Redskins fans can speak
Speaker 1: out and that that division is this year. Three games
Speaker 1: back to speak to your point, Mike, we were at
Speaker 1: minus three and a half on the look ahead line,
Speaker 1: the early line, so maybe there is a little bit
Speaker 1: of value here at minus three. Yeah, the Redskins are
Speaker 1: still in the thick of the playoff RaSE. We just
Speaker 1: did a Bears win tonight, gil and a Giants win
Speaker 1: Monday night. Green Bay is a thirteen point dog that
Speaker 1: we might be right back in this thing, hey man.
Speaker 1: Double digit dog last week took care of the Panthers,
Speaker 1: not only took care of her, dominated him. Um. By
Speaker 1: the way, Dallas six and six before we get your
Speaker 1: thoughts tied, Dallas is six and six. The opponents they've beaten,
Speaker 1: they're six wins. The opponents they've beaten a combined sixteen
Speaker 1: fifty and one. The opponents they've lost to forty nine
Speaker 1: and nineteen. That is splits make Splitsville right there. For Dallas,
Speaker 1: they are a bully and then they get crushed by
Speaker 1: good teams. Where the Chicago fall we shall see, Todd
Speaker 1: any thoughts tonight. First of all, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you if you can Usually I write down all the picks,
Speaker 1: and I don't have a pen here in the car,
Speaker 1: so I was wondering if you could write down the
Speaker 1: picks for us today so we can track of them.
Speaker 1: Anything else you need me to do? Man, Yeah, well
Speaker 1: it's not wasn't something I volunteered to do in the
Speaker 1: first place. Well, this is a change. Jusie Todd asked
Speaker 1: the listeners to do his work. This time he's asking
Speaker 1: the call host. I'll do it, Todd. I'll write him
Speaker 1: down there you go, thank you. I will take the
Speaker 1: arrows from Mike Palm with pride and no prejudice. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: As far as tonight's game, how the hell can you
Speaker 1: make a call? You've got true bisky, it's a joke.
Speaker 1: You've got the Cowboys coaching as a joke. You just
Speaker 1: have to watch Michael probably play the under in the
Speaker 1: first half. And it probably is not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I mean it's Cowboys. Listen. If they have this talent,
Speaker 1: shouldn't they beat a team like Chicago with Mr Biscuite quarterback?
Speaker 1: Because and the Bears defense is not anything vaunted. They
Speaker 1: let David Blow go up and down the field on them.
Speaker 1: So like, if the Cowboys can't get it done, remember
Speaker 1: the Redskins got Ron Rivera fired. I'm talking to you,
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer week sixteen. Jason Garrett Week seventeen, you better
Speaker 1: watch out, Skins are coming. Let's begin with the best bets.
Speaker 1: John Murray from the West Gate. We start with you.
Speaker 1: What's your first best bet, sir? I think this week
Speaker 1: the one the one player I really do like actually
Speaker 1: is the Indianapolis Colts. You know, I think this is
Speaker 1: an overreaction line here. You can get the Colts plus
Speaker 1: three on the road in Tampa. The Buccaneers have really
Speaker 1: struggled at home this year. Colts are coming off of
Speaker 1: what looks like a bad loss to the Titans, but
Speaker 1: they're really in control of that game until the end there.
Speaker 1: I don't think much of the Bucks, although I do
Speaker 1: find watching Jamis Winston to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean to the cold tier. I'm gonna assume
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston is gonna make some egregious mistakes and give
Speaker 1: this game away. You're with Chris Andrews. Chris Andrews said
Speaker 1: this is a by low situation on the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: You are echoing that as well. Tampa Bay three point favorites.
Speaker 1: The Bucks, who are five and seven, Colts are six
Speaker 1: and six. They're two out in the uh A f
Speaker 1: C South two behind the Texans, one behind the Titans.
Speaker 1: Mike best bet number one. I really like Baltimore lane
Speaker 1: five and a half at Buffalo is that the lion
Speaker 1: cod Are you look? Are you able to look at
Speaker 1: lines now that you're in a car? I actually actually
Speaker 1: I got six. I got six six and and and
Speaker 1: and for tradition, we should really always, you know, bump
Speaker 1: Mike half a point because he always tries to. Here's
Speaker 1: the irony. Mike hates it when people give the wrong lines,
Speaker 1: but meanwhile every week he tries to get a half
Speaker 1: a point on us. It's I only hate it when
Speaker 1: Hoops Peterson gives the line that's dead points off exactly
Speaker 1: the West Gate and circuit of both and half five
Speaker 1: and a half. I can't be able to get five
Speaker 1: and a half. We got five and a a half right
Speaker 1: here at the West kid. Yeah, Gil is always the
Speaker 1: final r. I'm just looking at consensus off shore and
Speaker 1: at six off shore. So sorry, sorry Las Vegas, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with the six just to be consistent. Yeah, John,
Speaker 1: and I hold a gaming license. We can't be held
Speaker 1: at at off Sorry, I don't know what you're talking
Speaker 1: about when you're talking about off shore books, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: only looking at the prominent Vegas sports book. That's all
Speaker 1: I look at. All Right, Well, we give him the
Speaker 1: five and a half of the six, Gil, you're the
Speaker 1: final harbiter. Six damn it six. Sorry, here's the thing,
Speaker 1: off shore, do they have Jesus or the other guy
Speaker 1: making the lines? Because I know it's circle they do,
Speaker 1: and I believe I thought I saw a picture of
Speaker 1: that there Jesus hugging o J. Simpson on Twitter? Was
Speaker 1: that for real? Are you talking about Lindiman and Metcalf? Oh? Wow,
Speaker 1: Lindiman won't return my d M. What's the deal with that?
Speaker 1: Dale hug o J. Come on? That was a set
Speaker 1: up about they couldn't believe he didn't have any plays
Speaker 1: and then they said, yeah he couldn't take a stab
Speaker 1: at it. That was just a whole set up. I
Speaker 1: was very reference market. Yeah, there are people too young
Speaker 1: to understand that reference listening to this podcast right now. Alright,
Speaker 1: So six six I don't like. I don't like six
Speaker 1: as much as I like five and a half. But
Speaker 1: here here's the thing. I think this is a bad
Speaker 1: matchup for Buffalo. I just don't see how they're gonna
Speaker 1: stop the power running game of the Ravens. Now we
Speaker 1: saw and I've been critical of Alan the ability. I
Speaker 1: always say he could beat them more with his legs
Speaker 1: and his arms. He had a very good game in Dallas,
Speaker 1: but that was playing in the Dome and perfect circumstances.
Speaker 1: Now we have to go back to Buffalo, where they're
Speaker 1: always winding, no matter what season of the year. And
Speaker 1: I actually think that the Baltimore Ravens are more built
Speaker 1: to play in bolts to play in Buffalo than Buffalo is.
Speaker 1: I thought that game with the forty nine was just terrific,
Speaker 1: and the fact that they did not play a great
Speaker 1: game and still want it right, they were still able
Speaker 1: to grindnd out enough first down and use Tucker and
Speaker 1: win a game against a very good team and a
Speaker 1: very meaningful game. Buffalo high off. This probably the biggest
Speaker 1: win they've had one sixteen years, but maybe longer for
Speaker 1: this branch. I like I like, I like Baltimore to
Speaker 1: keep it rolling and the win this game by a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Baltimore with their win over San Francisco, a game that
Speaker 1: they perhaps could have lost, if not should have, but
Speaker 1: the best starting franchise history. Now at ten and two.
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker with his thirty eight straight field goal made
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, that is just absolutely sick. What
Speaker 1: a weapon he is for them and they want it
Speaker 1: with two three totally yards. By the way, I talked
Speaker 1: about the Dallas splits, Buffalo is nine and three opponents.
Speaker 1: They've beaten a combined twenty seven and sixty six though
Speaker 1: at least give them credit that they probably not probably,
Speaker 1: but they did have something to do with the fact
Speaker 1: that Tennessee seven and five, that one of those losses
Speaker 1: is from Buffalo, and Dallas six and six one of
Speaker 1: those is from Buffalo as well, So at least they
Speaker 1: have a couple good wins on their resume. Todd your first,
Speaker 1: well with my first, I'm gonna go back with my
Speaker 1: tried and true. Everybody's heard me on a Numbers game
Speaker 1: and on this podcast, and granted I get tons of
Speaker 1: things wrong, but I have not been wrong this year
Speaker 1: when targeting a certain team for the over, and that's
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Week after week, I've been pounding
Speaker 1: the table. Tampa Bay Buccaneers over is the greatest bets
Speaker 1: since sliced bread. They play absolutely zero defense, they're very
Speaker 1: explosive on offense, and there's always the chance that Jamis
Speaker 1: might throw some picks that go the other direction. So
Speaker 1: they're just the the the overlover's dream. Last week, if
Speaker 1: you if you remember, I decided not to take the
Speaker 1: over with them, and it was the first time they
Speaker 1: did not go over because they were playing the Jaguars
Speaker 1: and I was scared that the Jaguars might not score,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what happened. So I've really had a
Speaker 1: good beat on Tampa Bay all year. I don't understand
Speaker 1: why people are betting it under give me over, Gil,
Speaker 1: what's the consensus? Seven over forty seven in the Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, and we will cash again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jamis last week, no touchdowns, no picks like that was
Speaker 1: a unjamed like game and that's why it stayed under
Speaker 1: right eleven. Or it was because Jacksonville wasn't going to
Speaker 1: score to help them. Did their usual but Jacksonville, I
Speaker 1: thought might not help them, and that's why I laid
Speaker 1: off Tampa Bay Colts over for Todd over forty seven.
Speaker 1: My first best bet. I'm gonna do like Todd does.
Speaker 1: I pretty much go to him every week. Todd's had
Speaker 1: a little more success than I have, though, But I'm
Speaker 1: going with the Miami Dolphins. Todd saying it. Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins no longer number thirty one. John
Speaker 1: is never doing the show again. I just repeated one
Speaker 1: more time. Uh, Miami is now plus five and a half. Consensus.
Speaker 1: It was six, it's now plus five and a half.
Speaker 1: This is more of just to play against the Jets.
Speaker 1: Why are the Jets five and a half point favorites
Speaker 1: in this game when I was guessing it on Monday.
Speaker 1: When I do Dolphins games now on guessing lines, every
Speaker 1: time I have to give, it's the one team that
Speaker 1: I have to give what I think it should be
Speaker 1: and what I think it will be. And with the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: I think it should be four. I would imagine it
Speaker 1: was five and a half. It was six at the time,
Speaker 1: Now it is five and a half. Dolphins are ten
Speaker 1: and two in one possession game since the started last season.
Speaker 1: They won three of five outright since going oh and seven.
Speaker 1: They outscored the Eagles twenty three to three after trailing
Speaker 1: by fourteen and the third quarter. Last week, they scored
Speaker 1: on six of their final seven drives. The fact is
Speaker 1: that Ryan Fitzpatrick makes them a decent, you know, slightly
Speaker 1: below average football team, but they're not horrific. They're not
Speaker 1: a joke with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, and he seems
Speaker 1: to have this chemistry with DeVante Parker and the Jets
Speaker 1: returned to be in the Jets last week. You're giving
Speaker 1: me five and a half points, I'll take the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: That's my best bet. Number one, John pick number two.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you guys the same pick we gave
Speaker 1: to Mr Brenton Musbrewer yesterday on My Guys in the Desert.
Speaker 1: Brent asks us to give him a pick each week
Speaker 1: for the Super Contest, and we gave him New England
Speaker 1: minus three at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. I
Speaker 1: think it's a good by low spot on New England.
Speaker 1: They looked awful on and then I had Actually that
Speaker 1: two final against Houston was misleading. They really got beat
Speaker 1: worse than that. But I think they'll bounce back at
Speaker 1: home here against Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: So we gave Brent New England minus three. It's my
Speaker 1: favorite play this week. How's that going with you and Brent,
Speaker 1: is he upset with you for bad picks or he's
Speaker 1: happy with you with good picks. Well, you know, he
Speaker 1: he was upset with us because we gave him a
Speaker 1: loser going against New England. This is several weeks ago.
Speaker 1: And then we gave him Baltimore against New England. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you guys remember that Sunday night game or Baltimore
Speaker 1: just trucked the Patriots and Brent actually ignored the pick,
Speaker 1: but he apologized to me on air for that one.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure our records pretty good. There was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a scandal a few weeks ago where
Speaker 1: we tried to give him the Jets against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking, I you know, it was my fault.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. That was our favorite play that week, was
Speaker 1: Jets plus three at home against the Raiders, but I
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking. Of course, Mr Mustger can't use the Raiders game,
Speaker 1: so he kind of laughed at me on that one.
Speaker 1: But we gave him. We gave him San Francisco plus
Speaker 1: six last Sunday, which I thought was a good one,
Speaker 1: and we're giving him New England minus three this week.
Speaker 1: The Jets did win that game against the Raiders thirty
Speaker 1: four to three. He does realize that in retrospect, right,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he does. But it was really my fault, Gill.
Speaker 1: I he I know, I know he can't play the
Speaker 1: Raider games. I just wasn't thinking clearly that afternoon, and
Speaker 1: I think we ended up giving him. We ended up
Speaker 1: giving him another play that lost in in uh In
Speaker 1: in place of the Jets. So disappointing week, but I
Speaker 1: think overall we've given him some more winners than losers.
Speaker 1: Let's say that John, who I am told while doing
Speaker 1: market Watch, actually drinks Bookmaker blonde while on the set.
Speaker 1: Is that true as well? Oh? Absolutely, that's a fact. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I had a Bookmaker blonde on set with Jeff Paul's
Speaker 1: was that last Monday, Mike. We were all down there
Speaker 1: and then the camera kept catching me going to commercial
Speaker 1: drinking a beer. I'm like, you, guys, put a beer
Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm gonna drink a beer. What
Speaker 1: do you? What do you people want from me? Why
Speaker 1: was it catching you? We drank on my guys, We
Speaker 1: openly drank and toasted seas He's after after I wanted
Speaker 1: to be one of the guys man, Well, you knew
Speaker 1: it was. You knew that, and there it was wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna last along with humans at ten o'clock. So actually
Speaker 1: Mai at the time, so it was it was kind
Speaker 1: of a free for all on set. Oh that's right, Mikey.
Speaker 1: What's pick number two? Uh? What is the total guil
Speaker 1: on the Vikings Lions? Gig? I like how you asked
Speaker 1: me and that you refuse asked hod Now it's forty
Speaker 1: three flat. I asked you because I don't need a speech.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over three. You know. The only thing,
Speaker 1: the only thing that uh, the only thing that I
Speaker 1: think we learned about either of these teams uh in
Speaker 1: their last games on Thanksgiving and then on Monday night,
Speaker 1: is that Patricia is just never gonna bring any pressure.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna let the quarterback sit there. He could
Speaker 1: defend in that second if you let Cousins sit there
Speaker 1: back at home, look at Cousins numbers at home. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy is lethal in that dome at home, and
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in laying almost two touchdowns. But I
Speaker 1: think this game will we'll we'll go back and gave
Speaker 1: blow actually played better than if he's if it's Blow
Speaker 1: actually played better than that Travisky on Sunco on Thursday.
Speaker 1: And you know, the Vikings can put up points at home.
Speaker 1: If you look at their splits, they scored thirty two
Speaker 1: a game at home. So I think this number came
Speaker 1: back a little low over forty over forty three. By
Speaker 1: the way, Matt Stafford still wanted to play this year.
Speaker 1: They haven't ruled him out completely, and I don't see
Speaker 1: any reason why they would play him. But David Blow
Speaker 1: is the starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions this weekend.
Speaker 1: Uh in their game against the Minnesota Vikings. Totals forty three.
Speaker 1: By the way, the spread on that is twelve and
Speaker 1: a half thirteen somewhere in that pocket. But Mike, he's
Speaker 1: going over forty three. Dad, what's number two? Well, Dad,
Speaker 1: you gotta get the good number. It's all about getting
Speaker 1: a good number anyways. Uh. Now that's the guy in
Speaker 1: the sports book Love who always tells me about certain
Speaker 1: ethnicities will always write number and other ethnicities just want
Speaker 1: to bet right before the game. They're not as smart
Speaker 1: as the other ethnicities will get the right number. Well,
Speaker 1: since since you've already said that, why don't you just
Speaker 1: tell everybody what that what he said exactly well, because
Speaker 1: I don't want to get any ethnicities mad at me,
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to I'm not at you. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to say which ethnicities he said are the
Speaker 1: smart ones and get the right number. But anyways, I
Speaker 1: will take the New Orleans Saints over the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niners. What's the line there, Gil, are we looking
Speaker 1: at two two and a half? What are we looking at?
Speaker 1: That's a pretty even split between two and two and
Speaker 1: a half. I'll go ahead and help myself to a
Speaker 1: two a little more two and a half. Let's say
Speaker 1: two and a half. Dome fine, I'll take the two
Speaker 1: and a half New Orleans minus two and a half
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco forty Niners. Here's why Jimmy g
Speaker 1: scared the Bejesus out of me. Obviously, the Niners are
Speaker 1: very good. They're obviously arguably in the top three to
Speaker 1: five teams in the league. Um they're you know, well coached,
Speaker 1: although Shannon and sometimes makes some questionable decisions, like late
Speaker 1: in the yes Seattle game with he could have taken
Speaker 1: and could cost him major playoff seating. But that being said, Obviously,
Speaker 1: the Niners are very good team. The thing is they
Speaker 1: scare me with too many turnovers. Jimmy g fumbles the
Speaker 1: balls too much, throws a couple too many picks, throws
Speaker 1: a couple too many tip balls because his receivers are
Speaker 1: not that great. And in a big game. I think
Speaker 1: this is gonna come back to haunt them in a
Speaker 1: very tough place to play. That dome will go absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: Uh for this game. This is a gigantic game. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I only have to win by three. Give me Drew
Speaker 1: Brees and the Boys to beat the Niners by three,
Speaker 1: which covers the two and a half. Give me the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. Balls of you going against the Niners.
Speaker 1: I am gonna go with the Tennessee Titans as my
Speaker 1: second pick. Tennessee. Now, is it was one and halfen
Speaker 1: now it's two and a half? Is it three reduced
Speaker 1: use or two and a half? Consensus? Do you st
Speaker 1: Dodd Tennessee? Yeah? I think it's two and a half
Speaker 1: as well. Tennessee minus two and a half from me?
Speaker 1: Uh consensus? Uh? Look, I was dead wrong about the Raiders,
Speaker 1: as so many people were early in the season. I
Speaker 1: thought that schedule was gonna murder them. I thought they'd
Speaker 1: be one in six after seven games, and said they were.
Speaker 1: They had a winning record after seven games. Um. But
Speaker 1: now it's kind of coming home to roost for them.
Speaker 1: And I think as much as they overachieved early, I
Speaker 1: think we're about to see an underachieving Oakland Raiders team
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Derek Carr not good again last week
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. UM in Tennessee. Here someone said something
Speaker 1: about the Raiders, and I can't remember who said this,
Speaker 1: so forgive me that I'm not attributing it to the
Speaker 1: right person. Um, but someone said something interesting about the
Speaker 1: Raiders and all the rookies playing well, which is in
Speaker 1: the NBA we always talk about these college players who
Speaker 1: come and play NBA ball and the schedule so long,
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, they're hitting the rookie wall. Raiders have
Speaker 1: a lot of rookie contributors, maybe hitting the rookie wall
Speaker 1: in some cases, I don't know. I mean, looks like
Speaker 1: Crosby and Josh Jacobs and Waller are still playing well,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Maybe that could be part of
Speaker 1: it too. I just think Tennessee is real good football team.
Speaker 1: No one is ever going to talk about Marcus Mariota again.
Speaker 1: Remember that dude, Ryan Tannehill. Eight touchdowns, no picks, six
Speaker 1: by the way through the air, two on the ground
Speaker 1: in terms of touchdowns no picks during the Titans three
Speaker 1: game winning streak. He's efficient, he makes good decisions. He's
Speaker 1: five and one as the starting quarterback for the Titans
Speaker 1: this season. Derrick Henry is getting it done. Twenty six
Speaker 1: carries a hundred forty nine yards last week in victory
Speaker 1: against the Colts. Uh, you're giving me less than a
Speaker 1: You're you're making me lay less than a field goal.
Speaker 1: Tennessee in a big game for both teams. Tennessee one
Speaker 1: back in the a f C South. They're tied with
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh right now for the sixth and final playoff spot
Speaker 1: in the a f C, and Oakland right now is
Speaker 1: in a proverbial must win situation. And when people say
Speaker 1: they're in a must win situation, as my friend Bob
Speaker 1: Stole says, they must not be very good. Then I'll
Speaker 1: take Tennessee. I'll give two and a half. That's pick
Speaker 1: number two. John Murray third and final pick, well, you
Speaker 1: just you just t me up because my third and
Speaker 1: final play is the Oakland race. There you go. Both
Speaker 1: are we saw our most respected NFL group. They came
Speaker 1: in here, they hit us. They took Oakland plus three.
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. It looks like the Raiders
Speaker 1: have kind of hit the wall here, But I think
Speaker 1: this is a good spot to get behind them. After
Speaker 1: two straight blow our losses to the Jets, to the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders find a way to win this game.
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee last week it was a little misleading,
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know why the Colts kept trotting
Speaker 1: out Adam Vinetarry to miss those field goals and then
Speaker 1: obviously that blocked field goal return for a touchdown really
Speaker 1: cost Indianapolis that game. But I'm gonna go with the
Speaker 1: Raiders here at home. I think they're gonna get this
Speaker 1: win over the Titans and get back into the fringe
Speaker 1: of the playoff race, so to speak. Alright, Raiders plus
Speaker 1: two and a half. Officially for John Mikey final pick,
Speaker 1: Gil I don't want to give a contradictory pick here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to both of both of my
Speaker 1: last for the two games I was gonna use, I'd
Speaker 1: be going against somebody here and I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna take a my good show prep. Alright, Todd,
Speaker 1: you're in a car and you're not writing down the
Speaker 1: don't tell don't tell me, Okay, don't tell me. I
Speaker 1: only said that, folks, because Mike busts my balls mercilessly
Speaker 1: and says that I don't do enough show prep. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: I volunteer to do all that stuff. So just let's set.
Speaker 1: You gotta always be prepared for these shows. Man, you
Speaker 1: have a legitimate point that you're not getting paid on
Speaker 1: a numbers game, Todd. But how about self pride and
Speaker 1: just representing yourself better? Okay? I do. I do what's
Speaker 1: called charity work to try to help the others in
Speaker 1: the world. I think gil is doing a lot of
Speaker 1: that too, all right. Think it never misses a shot,
Speaker 1: never misses enough. You can't you can't miss your shot,
Speaker 1: all right. I'm gonna take a stand on a game
Speaker 1: that's it's it's an all time philosophical argument, gil M.
Speaker 1: What happens when a team that has quit meets Anthony
Speaker 1: Lynn And I'm gonna hold my nose and late three
Speaker 1: points with the Los Angeles Chargers. Okay, now, Here's why
Speaker 1: any team that could not term Jameis Winston over is
Speaker 1: totally done that for many, many reasons, for many If
Speaker 1: you watched that game, Tampa Bay moved up and down
Speaker 1: the field for the first two and a half quarters
Speaker 1: at will, as did Tennessee in the second half of
Speaker 1: that game the previous week. Every time you look up
Speaker 1: its second and thirteen. With this Jaguars, they're not even
Speaker 1: competitive within sets of downs, within possessions. Anthony Lynn, yes,
Speaker 1: he finds ways to lose. Accept if he's up two scores.
Speaker 1: I don't think he can do that. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go against what we believe about Anthony Lennon lay
Speaker 1: three points on the road last week. Let's say the
Speaker 1: Charger season. First of all, the Charger season, as we
Speaker 1: said on Guessing Lines earlier this week on the podcast
Speaker 1: and on the Numbers game. Fourth loss this season. Chargers
Speaker 1: loss to the Broncos last week, fourth loss this season
Speaker 1: by three points or fewer. That's the most in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and every one of their eight losses is by seven
Speaker 1: points or fewer. And then lost in that Jacksonville anemic
Speaker 1: performance against the Bucks in which Nick Foles was benched
Speaker 1: for Gardener Minshew sixteen penalties for a hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: five yards. So to your point about second and thirteen,
Speaker 1: every time you looked up, that's why, because they're going
Speaker 1: the other way. You know, my dad, my dad, when
Speaker 1: he used to watch football with me. He's not from
Speaker 1: this country, but whenever the Skins would have two consecutive
Speaker 1: plays where they would have negative yardage, my dad, as
Speaker 1: if he'd never said it before, would go, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: they're going the wrong way. So that's what the Jaguars
Speaker 1: are at this point. But basically my dad shouting at
Speaker 1: the TV. Oh, Todd, I'm sorry, Todd, I forgot you're there, Todd.
Speaker 1: You're in a car. What you got, Todd? My final
Speaker 1: pick is going to be the Oakland Raiders. I'm owing
Speaker 1: with the same pick as John Murray is going with.
Speaker 1: And here's why. In the SFL we have these games
Speaker 1: I'm going on, Dr Alexander. But the NFL, every week
Speaker 1: we have these games where nothing makes sense. If you
Speaker 1: remember the Steeler Colt game earlier in the year, everybody
Speaker 1: loved the Colts, and of course, somehow, some way and
Speaker 1: found a way for the Steelers to cover the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's always a couple every week that look ridiculous. There's
Speaker 1: not gonna be anybody betting the Raiders this week. After
Speaker 1: two absolute atrocious performances, getting handled easily by the Jets
Speaker 1: and easily by the Chiefs. No one's gonna want to
Speaker 1: burn their hard earned money on the Oakland Raiders. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly why I want them. They're gonna circle the wagons.
Speaker 1: Knock on wood if you're with me, folks, knock on wood,
Speaker 1: men with the Raiders. The Oakland Raiders to lose this
Speaker 1: ball game twenty to nineteen and stay inside two and
Speaker 1: a half points. Give me the Raiders plus two and
Speaker 1: a half. The right guessing lines I liked, uh five
Speaker 1: different games. One of them has remained neutral on the line,
Speaker 1: one has has gone maybe a half point against me.
Speaker 1: But the first three that I had, the market has
Speaker 1: all come my way. Miami, I had it was plus six,
Speaker 1: it's now five and a half. Tennessee, it was one
Speaker 1: and a half, it's now two and a half. And
Speaker 1: the third one for me is the San Francisco forty niners.
Speaker 1: I'm appo you. I match your oppo me Todd with
Speaker 1: an appo you How about that. We're double. We have
Speaker 1: two opos double apo um. I like the night you're
Speaker 1: writing down. I hope you're writing these picks down. You're
Speaker 1: you're in charge of that this week. Mike is not me.
Speaker 1: Remember we went through this already. Mike is writing him down. Okay, alright, uh,
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Even in defeat last week against the Ravens,
Speaker 1: I thought that was a very solid performance from them,
Speaker 1: And in clement weather against Lamar Jackson, they could have
Speaker 1: just as easily won that football game. I do think
Speaker 1: in a very top heavy NFC, they're still the best
Speaker 1: football team. Saints are already in the playoffs. Saints are
Speaker 1: playing for seating right now. And I don't think Drew
Speaker 1: Brees is very good right now. I really don't, you know,
Speaker 1: with that whole Rams Saints know horrific refereeing decision last
Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, we kind of forgot that Drew
Speaker 1: Brees wasn't really great anymore the second half of last season.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's that good this year either. And
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Garoppolo is the one, perhaps the
Speaker 1: one flaw of this Niners team. They found something with
Speaker 1: Raheem Mostert nineteen carries a hundred forty six yards against
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I think the Niners are the most balanced
Speaker 1: team in the NFC. I think you're giving me three
Speaker 1: points on the road against the Saints. I will happily
Speaker 1: take the Niners in this spot. I don't think much
Speaker 1: of the Saints. I think they're They're a paper tiger
Speaker 1: in the same way that a lot of these NFC
Speaker 1: teams are with the big records, like the Packers, for instance.
Speaker 1: Give me the three, I'll take the Niners. That's my
Speaker 1: final pick of the week. So those are the best bets.

Speaker 1: get to the final two questions. Teaser of the week
Speaker 1: to team six point Teaser of the week, John, what
Speaker 1: do you like my teaser of the week. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: piggyback off your last play there, Gil. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the forty Niners. I'll tease them up to plus
Speaker 1: eight and a half. I'm gonna pair that with the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. I think it's a good week to get
Speaker 1: behind the Cardinals. They looked awful last week. Get the
Speaker 1: Rams Pittsburgh down to their third string quarterback. They gotta
Speaker 1: go out on the road, Arizona. I know, Mike Tomlin
Speaker 1: is doing a great job this year, but I like
Speaker 1: Arizona in that spot, so I'll go San Francisco plus
Speaker 1: eight and a half to Arizona plus eight and a
Speaker 1: half six point teaser, al Right, eight and a half,
Speaker 1: eight and a half San Francisco Arizona, Mike, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to clarify. So you're getting plus two and a
Speaker 1: half with the forty niners, not three. That's correct. In
Speaker 1: other words, I guess three on It was three on Monday,
Speaker 1: and the market came to me, Yes, two and a half, okay,
Speaker 1: forty niners for John eight and a half Cardinals, Okay,
Speaker 1: very good. I'm gonna take uh and tease the Texans down.
Speaker 1: What's number you see there, Todd or gil on the
Speaker 1: Texas against the bron Uncles nine, even more nine than nine,
Speaker 1: and al, I'm gonna tease him down to three. Against
Speaker 1: the Broncos, I thought they I know they could be
Speaker 1: a JACKO and high team, but I thought they looked
Speaker 1: awfully good against New England on Sunday night. Um, this
Speaker 1: Broncos team still has their own issues offensively, and after
Speaker 1: they got up fourteen to three, the Chargers controlled that
Speaker 1: game for the most part. Through the last three quarters. UM.
Speaker 1: I actually took four and a half with the Broncos
Speaker 1: and then was in a spot where I needed the
Speaker 1: Chargers to win that game by a field goal because
Speaker 1: I bet the Chargers in game money line when they
Speaker 1: were down fourteen and three. But uh Dom Domblin couldn't
Speaker 1: tackle the receivers with nine seconds to go in the game,
Speaker 1: so we got a bad call and we couldn't get
Speaker 1: the middle. I just think the Texans I cannot foresee
Speaker 1: them losing this game at home. They're playing themselves into
Speaker 1: a position to have a shot at a buy in
Speaker 1: the a f C and win this division. And then
Speaker 1: the other game is that I'm going to agree with
Speaker 1: John and with Gil here. I like the forty Niners
Speaker 1: getting more than a touchdown up to eight and a half, alright, Niners,
Speaker 1: Texans From Mikey Todd, I am gonna go with the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals up to eight and a half. UM if Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh obviously has won seven games this year with smoking mirrors.
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, who I consider a good coach, not a
Speaker 1: great coach. This is the one thing he's great at doing,
Speaker 1: and that is smoking mirroring his way with defense and
Speaker 1: everybody on deck somehow pull out games that they shouldn't
Speaker 1: really be winning. I don't see them blowing out Arizona
Speaker 1: on the road. I don't see them blowing out anyone.
Speaker 1: In fact, all their wins have been tight wins, except
Speaker 1: for that Cincinnati travesty earlier in the year on Monday Night.
Speaker 1: Even the Dolphins games should have been close had that
Speaker 1: idiot not blitzed on third and twenty too late in
Speaker 1: the first half. So I don't see the Steelers winning
Speaker 1: by more than eight and a half. So give me
Speaker 1: Arizona plus eight and a half, and then for the
Speaker 1: second part of it, give me the Oakland Arraidas plus
Speaker 1: eight and a half as well. I will go Stanford
Speaker 1: wonging this week with two eight and a half the
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Zonas. You know me, Stanford wonging me
Speaker 1: into oblivion. I'm going San Francisco in Kansas City. I'll
Speaker 1: take got nine against the Patriots, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: In that one. Uh, Patriots have had trouble with multidimensional quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I think Patrick Mahomes will give the Patriots defense problems
Speaker 1: with all their weapons, and I don't think it's any
Speaker 1: stretch to think that New England's offense is still gonna
Speaker 1: have difficulty. I know Kansas City's defense is terrible, but
Speaker 1: you're giving me nine points to work with here. I
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if Kansas City wins this game,
Speaker 1: out right, I really would not be. I think they're
Speaker 1: in the weeds in the a f C. Everybody's kind
Speaker 1: of forgotten about them, and there's really no pressure on them.
Speaker 1: I like Kansas City getting nine in a tease with
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Final two questions, gentlemen, which of the big favorites,
Speaker 1: in your opinion is the most likely to lose? Outright?
Speaker 1: Will define them by six points or more? Green Bay
Speaker 1: twelve and a half or thirteen points favorites against the
Speaker 1: Redskins Viking, same exact thing somewhere in that twelve and
Speaker 1: a half or thirteen point pocket at home against the Lions.
Speaker 1: Cleveland seven and a half point favorites at home against Cincinnata,
Speaker 1: Houston nine point favorites at home against Denver Um. We'll
Speaker 1: skip that one because I'll make it too easy. And
Speaker 1: then Philadelphia nine and a half point favorites. What about
Speaker 1: BALTI what about Baltimore? Six. That's the one I skipped
Speaker 1: because it would be too easy. Philadelphia nine and a
Speaker 1: half point favorites at home against the Giants, uh so,
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Minnesota, Cleveland, Houston, and the Eagles. Which of
Speaker 1: those is the most likely in your opinion, John to
Speaker 1: lose outright? Well, it's kind of a cop out answer
Speaker 1: because they're the shortest favorite. But I actually like the
Speaker 1: Bengals anyway, so I have to say Cleveland here. Bengals
Speaker 1: is the last team I left out of my three
Speaker 1: best bets because that line has come down from nine
Speaker 1: nine and a half down to seven and a half.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati actually looks like a professional football team with Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton playing quarterback. And anytime you can say that Freddie
Speaker 1: Kitchens has a chance to lose, you're probably right. Freddie
Speaker 1: Kitchens is a buffoon. He's done a terrible job with
Speaker 1: an extremely talented roster in Cleveland, totally dysfunctional team. It
Speaker 1: really wouldn't surprise me at all if the Bengals won
Speaker 1: this game one and done for Kitchens, you think, I
Speaker 1: think it has to be. I think if you're the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown, you're wasting a roster that has jam packed
Speaker 1: with talent on a guy who has no business being
Speaker 1: an NFL head coach. Yeah, I can't disagree, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a cop out. By the way, I
Speaker 1: still think that's a pretty bold upset if it happens. Mike,
Speaker 1: same question. I agree with John and I think what
Speaker 1: we're because of the buffoonery of Kitchens, were overlooking the
Speaker 1: fact that Baker Mayfield is just not this good either.
Speaker 1: They get they go out, and they get back up,
Speaker 1: and that they have no explosive that the only times
Speaker 1: they moved the ball against the Steelers in that game
Speaker 1: were drives where they diked and they dunked and they ran.
Speaker 1: They cannot stretch the field at all. Dalton very motivated
Speaker 1: right now, closing in on two touchdown passes for his career,
Speaker 1: and I think he's a better quarterback right now than
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Cincinnati Bagels, I'm gonna go with your Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: This football team has been atrocious. I mean, losing a
Speaker 1: two touchdown lead at Miami the week before. They had
Speaker 1: no business even being in the game against Seattle there.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they're better than the Giants, but I
Speaker 1: mean the Giants are horrible too. Maybe Eli Manning, who
Speaker 1: was one hundred and sixteen and one hundred and sixteen
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback for his career, could go out
Speaker 1: on a winning record to beat the Birds in Philadelphia. Look,
Speaker 1: it's probably unlikely, but nothing would shock me with how
Speaker 1: how bad the Eagles have been the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: And I can't add much to that because I think Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland is probably the right answer, but Philadelphia
Speaker 1: is a close second. I would not be surprised to
Speaker 1: see that. If the Giants won that game out right,
Speaker 1: it would not shock me. The Cowboys are trying to
Speaker 1: give the division to the Eagles, and the Eagles refused
Speaker 1: to take it from the Eagles five and seven, getting
Speaker 1: some of their players back, but uh clearly not helping
Speaker 1: yet as they squandered fourteen point lead against the Dolphins
Speaker 1: last week. Final question, then, John, we live in a
Speaker 1: bizarro world. You're forced to bet aside on each and
Speaker 1: every one of the sixteen NFL games this week starting tonight,
Speaker 1: but you're allowed one free pass. What's the game you
Speaker 1: want no part of whatsoever? On the side bet over
Speaker 1: the the Miami game, Miami against the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Miami keeps winning. They're better off losing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell the New York Jets think.
Speaker 1: They ripped off three runs in the world. They scored
Speaker 1: thirty or four points a game, then they lose to
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday. I think Adam Gaze talk
Speaker 1: about one and done the Browns thing to move on
Speaker 1: from Kitchens. The Jets need to move on from Adam
Speaker 1: Gays before he ruins Sam Donald, their young quarterback. I
Speaker 1: can't pick a side in that game because I think
Speaker 1: Miami is probably the right side, but they're better off losing,
Speaker 1: and I have no idea what the Jets are gonna
Speaker 1: do any given week. I'm staying the hell away from
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, this may be the biggest. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wonder if we'll have more one and done this
Speaker 1: year than any other year in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1: Mike same question, what's the one you want? No part
Speaker 1: of it. I don't want any part of the Panthers
Speaker 1: and Falcons. I'm not sure that. I don't know how
Speaker 1: they're going to react to Rivera being let go. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure he was not u popular with that team
Speaker 1: and the Falcons played two games like Super Bowl champions,
Speaker 1: then reverted to their form in the first eight games.
Speaker 1: So I have no opinion on game, don't want to
Speaker 1: touch it. I will go with the Rams in Seattle.
Speaker 1: Who the hell are the Rams? Are they a good team?
Speaker 1: Are they a bad team? Are they an average team?
Speaker 1: Is their quarterback serviceable? Is he not serviceable? Is he
Speaker 1: worth million? What the hell is going on with the Rams?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't want any part of it,
Speaker 1: So I'm off Seattle Rams. And for me, it's Carolina
Speaker 1: Atlanta to Mike uh, if you told me Carolina won
Speaker 1: that game by seventeen at the end, or Atlanta did
Speaker 1: win by seventeen, I wouldn't be surprised either way. And
Speaker 1: for that reason, it's got to be that game. I
Speaker 1: have no clue what happens there. Atlanta favored by three.
Speaker 1: I think that's the sort of default line of we
Speaker 1: have no idea what it's gonna be there, Atlanta Carolina.
Speaker 1: That would be the play for me. John Murray, executive
Speaker 1: director of Racing Sports at the Westgate super Book, Thank you, John,
Speaker 1: I hope it wasn't too painful for you, sir, oh
Speaker 1: I had a great time, guys. I appreciate you guys
Speaker 1: working around my schedule and hopefully we can all talk
Speaker 1: against Let's do it all right, John Murray, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: UM for Mike Palm at Circle, Thank you, Mikey Todd,
Speaker 1: thank you pre ship it as always Todd. I think
Speaker 1: we're toasting the quarterly starting at two and three unless
Speaker 1: we go five and oh, and then we'll be really
Speaker 1: giddy about it and we'll think we're in it. All
Speaker 1: we have to do is go twenty and oh from
Speaker 1: here and we're in. That's that's all we have to do.
Speaker 1: Get utter. Thank you to both of you. Thank you
Speaker 1: to everybody for listening. Good luck with all your picks.
