1 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Welcome back to the Betting Pros NFL Podcast, 2 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: brought to you by bet MGM. I'm your host, Dan Harrison. 3 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: You can find me on Twitter at Dan Harris Adi. 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: It is time for our early look at next week's lines, 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: and with me to break it all down is Rob Pizzola, 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: a pro sports better. 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: Rob. How's it going, man? 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 3: It's going well. 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 4: Interesting time of year now, obviously with everything getting into 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 4: full swing. So this is one of my favorite times 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 4: a year as a sports better. 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: This is a really good time overall. And you know, 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Thanksgiving. I feel like, given 15 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: my profession, my family has become pretty accustomed to me 16 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: being glued to the TV throughout Thanksgiving, so it's gonna 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: be pretty fun. But of course, you know, we've got 18 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: the three Thursday games here, a rarity for the season, 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: so we've got a lot to look into now. Rob 20 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: and I are going to go through each game on 21 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: the week thirteenth slate, and we'll be using the consensus 22 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: odds over at bettingpros dot com. Those are the aggregate 23 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: odds that you're gonna find from a bunch of different sportsbooks. Now, 24 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: the Lions are gonna move as bets come in. Odds 25 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: makers are going to adjust, so pay close attention in case, 26 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: like us, you particularly like or do not like any 27 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: given line. All right, rob let's dive in here with 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving games, and we'll start, as always with the 29 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Lions game, the first game of the week, the Bears 30 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: visiting the Lions. The current odds listed on our consensus 31 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: odds are the Bears laying two and the over under 32 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: here at thirty nine. Now that has dropped a bit 33 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: from the look aheadline of forty one. 34 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: It's hard to back the Bears. 35 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Lately, but they do beat the Giants. Mitchell Trubisky looks 36 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: quasi competent. The defense still looks strong, though not quite 37 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: as dominant as they did last year. Meanwhile, the Lions 38 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: are still rolling with Jeff Driscoll. They lose to the 39 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: hapless Redskins. They may have lost Snax Harrison in this game. 40 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure of the extent of the injury. But 41 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving, their home. So how do you feel about 42 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: the Bears laying two and the over under at thirty nine? 43 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 4: So definitely the Bears are going to get a lot 44 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 4: of Thanksgiving Day action here, I think, both by the 45 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 4: general public and by professionals, and mainly that's because of 46 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 4: the Lions injury report. So Jeff Driscoll limited in practice 47 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: today because of a hamstring injury. There's a very realistic 48 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 4: possibility that they're going to have to go to the 49 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: third string quarterback, who is someone I've never heard of 50 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 4: in my life. I believe his name is David Brow 51 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 4: or something along. I don't even remember his name, to 52 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 4: be completely honest with you. Was a backup at college, 53 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 4: was the fourth stringer to start the season for the 54 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns. So because of that, I just don't see 55 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 4: much anyone willing to really back the lines in this situation. 56 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 4: I think the number will continue to climb, so get 57 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 4: in early on the Bears. And it's not just the 58 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 4: quarterback position for the Lions. If you look at the 59 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: early injury report, it is a complete disaster for them 60 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 4: with a number of players either limited in practice today 61 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 4: or not practicing whatsoever. So definitely the Bear is going 62 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: to get a ton of action. I could see this 63 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 4: even going above three up to three and a half. 64 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 4: It's very very rare to see something move that much, 65 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: and through the key number of three, especially when they 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: were down around minus one earlier today. But certainly, I 67 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 4: think there's just going to be a lack of resistance 68 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: for all the Bears money that's coming in. 69 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: Do you think that any because again I saw the 70 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: limited practice reports for most of them, and again Dressco 71 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: Driscoll practiced, but he was limited with a hamstring injury. 72 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: I mean, do you. 73 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: Think though that they're just kind of taking it easy 74 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: here because I didn't feel like they came out of 75 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: that game with being like, oh man, they're totally banged up. 76 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to be able to 77 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: turn around. I didn't even know that Driscoll was injured 78 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: until I saw the practice report at all. Do you 79 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: think that this is something where it could legitimately put 80 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: their playing time in jeopardy? So, I mean, I know 81 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: you're obviously not an inside or anything like that, but 82 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: if you do like the Bears, this is something then 83 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: that you would take into consideration because you do think 84 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: there's a legitimate chance, essentially based on the practice reports, 85 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: that they could be significantly limited. 86 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think at this point. I mean, it's always 87 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: a judgment call in the NFL, right, I mean when 88 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: you're betting earlier. Looking at the early board, you're not 89 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: going to get the true scope of things. And sometimes 90 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 4: things are going to work in your favor, and sometimes 91 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 4: things are going to work against you. You take the Eagles, 92 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 4: for example, last week, who were expected to have potentially 93 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 4: Jordan Howard back and al shonn Jeffery back in the lineup, 94 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: and then Sunday morning comes and they're not playing, and 95 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 4: that significantly effects the handicap of the game altogether. So 96 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 4: you have to use reason. But typically when players are 97 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: limited in practice, especially on a short week, it doesn't 98 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 4: bode well. And some of these guys not practicing altogether 99 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 4: is a complete problem for them. Looks like they're gonna 100 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 4: have cluster injuries in the secondary. I think the Detroit 101 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 4: Lions are a complete mess this week. And what makes 102 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: it even more difficult is, obviously, like I said, preparing 103 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 4: with only three days, trying to come up with a 104 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: game plan for a quarterback who's never expected to see 105 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: time whatsoever against a very good defense. I'm just struggling 106 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 4: to see how the Lions compete in this game unless 107 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 4: the Bears handed to them, and the Bears are fully 108 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 4: capable of doing that. I mean, they run a horrible offense, 109 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 4: and they can definitely throw away the game with some turnovers. 110 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 4: But certainly I just see, like I said, there's gonna 111 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 4: be there's probably gonna be no resistance at this number 112 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 4: and just money pouring in on the Bears to the 113 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 4: point where the oddsmakers are going to have to really 114 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: raise this number up. 115 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 116 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: No, look, I love the Bears, Certainly, the d anything 117 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: less than the key number of three, it's just really 118 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: difficult to see a scenario again unless the Bear is 119 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: essentially handed to him, and we know Mitchell Trubisky is 120 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: more than capable of doing that. But unless they really 121 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: handed to him, it's a little difficult to see the Lions. 122 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: Coming in on top. 123 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: So anything under the key number, I agree, if you 124 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: like it right now, it's probably a good idea to 125 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: get in. Let's move on to the Bills at the Cowboys. 126 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: Cowboys here laying seven and the over under at forty 127 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: four and a half. Look, headline was seven and a half, 128 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: so it has ticked down a little bit to the 129 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: key number of seven, but not significantly. The Bills get 130 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: back on track here at home against the Broncos with 131 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: a strong showing particularly defensively. But now they go on 132 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: the road to take on what is essentially a desperate 133 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys team that lost an ugly game against the Pats 134 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: where they really couldn't do much offensively, not entirely their fault, 135 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: of course, the Pats are a great defense, and the 136 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: weather was abysmal. But how do you feel here the 137 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys laying seven at home on Thanksgiving with the over 138 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: under forty four and a half. 139 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: I think the likely you'll get market support on the 140 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: Cowboys and probably on the over in this game as well. 141 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 4: The Bills are eight and three by record, but a 142 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 4: lot of the advanced metrics are not going to be 143 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 4: appealing for them, especially if those who are handicapping using DVOA. 144 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 4: Where the Bills are twenty fifth this year the Cowboys fourth. Now, 145 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 4: I don't know if that money's gonna come right away. 146 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 4: I think potentially, if you're a shark better you'd much 147 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 4: rather get the Cowboys at six and a half than seven. 148 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 4: But ultimately I just see this closing at seven or higher. 149 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 4: I don't think there's gonna be a ton of sharp 150 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 4: support on the Bills in terms of the total Dallas' 151 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 4: offense is really good. 152 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: Their defense is. 153 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 4: Not and forty four and a half right now as 154 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 4: the consensus total in this game. I would probably see 155 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 4: some support coming in on the over in this game, 156 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 4: even up to forty five forty five and a half, 157 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: definitely not down below forty four, which is a key 158 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 4: number in the NFL. So I think that that's the 159 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: way it's gonna head. I'm not sure if I'm going 160 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 4: to be involved in this game altogether, but I do 161 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: think I expect that the sharp money will be on 162 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 4: the Cowboys in the over. 163 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: Here. 164 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have a strong feel necessarily for the line. 165 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I think at seven is about right. I 166 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: agree with you though that the total. You know, I 167 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: feel like the over is gonna get the majority of 168 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: the bets. I think I'll probably be in on that 169 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: as well. I mean, I feel like in the end, 170 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: given unless Mari Cooper is significantly limited, Obviously he's been 171 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: battling that knee injury, and he was on the sidelines 172 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,559 Speaker 1: quite a bit during that game against the Patriots, despite 173 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: the fact that it was closed. So if he is 174 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: hampered and it's a Thursday game, then that does change things. 175 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: But assuming that he's a full go, and he practices 176 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: in full this week and he's ready to go. I 177 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: do think that this is going to be a little 178 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: bit of a get right game, even though the Bills 179 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: have a very strong defense. Of course, they're vulnerable against 180 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: the run, so you'll see a lot of Ezekiel Elliott 181 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: that could you lean towards the under considering they want to. 182 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: Run the ball. 183 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: But I feel like this is a little bit going 184 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: to be a get right game here. But the Cowboys 185 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: offense and the Bills can score. As much as Josh Allen, 186 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, isn't the most accurate quarterback in the league, 187 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: he's certainly able to move the ball pretty effectively both 188 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: on the ground, and John Brown is having a great season, 189 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: so I do think that there will be points score. 190 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: So I agree that money and sharp betters will probably 191 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: hit the over. Let's move on to these Saints at 192 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: the Falcons the night game on Thanksgiving, Saint Sierra laying 193 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: six and a half with the over under at fifty 194 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Look, the Falcons really manhandled the Saints 195 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, but the Saints here are obviously heavily favored. 196 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: They're coming off that big win against the Panthers with 197 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: the last second field go. Meanwhile, the Falcons, who had 198 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: looked outstanding the past two weeks, particularly their defense, come 199 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: back down to earth against the Bucks. The offense looks 200 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: completely out of sync. Julio Jones gets banged up. He's 201 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: listed as it did not practice today. Again, I take 202 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: it a little bit with a grain of salt on 203 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: these Monday practices on a short week, because I think 204 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: they're just being careful. But he is listed as it 205 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: did not practice, and again he was in and out 206 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: of that game with the shoulder injury. So how do 207 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: you feel here? Saints on the road laying six and 208 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: a half with an over under of fifty. 209 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: I'm not high on the Falcons this year. I've been 210 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: betting against them quite a bit. I'm also not high 211 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 4: on the Saints. But really, I think the Falcons a 212 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: lot of the yardage that they've put up this year 213 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 4: has been in garbage time, and that's kind of inflated 214 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: their yardage numbers and their yards for play numbers when 215 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 4: they've been trailing for a lot of the season. With 216 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: that said, I do expect that eventually we're going to 217 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 4: see some market support on Atlanta just because they played 218 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 4: the Saints so tough couple of weeks ago. But ultimately 219 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: I think that move is gonna come late, because when 220 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 4: you think about this, this is the third game on 221 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 4: Thanksgiving Day slate. The reality is the public betters are 222 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: gonna see New Orleans minus six and a half. They're 223 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: gonna think that that's free money, and there's just gonna 224 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 4: be a ton of money on. 225 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: The Saints regardless. 226 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: Either it's the chase game of the day where people 227 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 4: have lost earlier on in the first couple of games 228 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 4: and now they're kind of doubling up on the Saints, 229 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 4: or it's the opposite, where they've won earlier in the 230 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 4: day and they feel comfortable to put their bets on 231 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 4: the Saints. So there's gonna be large handle on this game. 232 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 4: If you're a sharp better, why bet the Falcons early 233 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: now knowing that there's gonna be a ton of money 234 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 4: coming in. 235 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 3: On the Saints regardless. 236 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 4: So I think ultimately, closer to game time, you'll see 237 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 4: some money come in on the Falcons. Potentially we might 238 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 4: see this number get up to seven seven and a 239 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 4: half before you see some resistance there. I don't think 240 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 4: I will be involved. I mean seven and a half. 241 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 4: I'd certainly consider the Falcons at home, especially, like I said, 242 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: with the way that they played the Saints tough a 243 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago. 244 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: That defense really showed up to. 245 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: Play in that game. But aside from that, it's not 246 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 4: a game that I love. Definitely, sports books will be 247 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: cheering for the Falcons outright win because the Saints will 248 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: probably be involved on every single teaser imaginable this weekend 249 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 4: as well, So huge liability probably building for books on 250 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: the Saints. 251 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel? 252 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: How do you think about that when books are I mean, 253 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: you know what's going to happen on this game, right, 254 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: Despite the fact that the Falcons beat up on the 255 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: Saints two weeks ago, the public this just screams when 256 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: you're under a touchdown, It screams the public to back 257 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: the Saints. Do you consider that at all when you're 258 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: thinking about a line and saying like it really seems 259 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: like the books are sort of inviting the public to 260 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: go here and they're probably going to be on the 261 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: hook for a Falcons. You know, if the Falcons fail 262 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: to cover, I mean, does that factor into your equation 263 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: as to who you're going to back? Each and every 264 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: week or does that something that you have your model 265 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: and that's all there is. 266 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: I don't factor in public bets. 267 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 4: I think there's a little bit of a misperception with 268 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 4: the whole fade the public thing, And I mean people. 269 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: Are always like the books. 270 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 4: The books win money, so if you're just on the 271 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: same side of the books, you're going to win money 272 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 4: over time. But there's a number of fallacies or problems 273 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: with that line of thinking. The first one is that 274 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: the books are making the majority of their money off 275 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 4: of parlays and teaser bets, not necessarily straight bets, so 276 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: the hold on straight bets is significantly lower than that 277 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: of parlays and teasers. Then, on top of that, the 278 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 4: books charge a big When you're betting the same size 279 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 4: side as a book, you're paying a vig whereas they're 280 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 4: charging the bet or the opposite. So I'm not a 281 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 4: big believer in the fade the public strategy. I don't 282 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 4: think books are typically setting the public up for some 283 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 4: type of bet or anything like that. I think in 284 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 4: this scenario it's pretty simple to me. They've put out 285 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: a line that will probably see the public bet one way, 286 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: sharp's bet the other way. It kind of counters a 287 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 4: little bit, but ultimately it's not a big factor in 288 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 4: my handicapping, because I mean, the reality is the public 289 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 4: still does get games right. And if you're gonna continuously 290 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: just ignore your opinion on a game because other people 291 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 4: like it as well, I think you're doing yourself at 292 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 4: the service. 293 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a great point. And you know, 294 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: part of the thing I also think about is that 295 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: I feel like there are times really where the books 296 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: don't mind taking a side, and I think that that's fine. 297 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not always going to be right, and 298 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: I think it's fine if they're not just looking to 299 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: balance it out, if they know they're going to be 300 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: heavy on the Saints and they're willing to take that risk, 301 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes that's what's gonna happen. 302 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 2: So I agree, you know, I don't. 303 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't always feel comfortable necessarily when the vast majority 304 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: of you know, it's something like you know, let's say 305 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: seventy percent or above, are with the public. It does 306 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: make me a little queasy, and it at least makes 307 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: me rethink how I'm looking at the game. But I 308 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: like the insight into not letting it really control your decisions. 309 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: Let's move on here to the Eagles at the Dolphins. 310 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: The Eagles here currently laying nine and the over under 311 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: at forty six. The Eagles, as you mentioned earlier, they're 312 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: just decimated offensively, missing a ton of skilled players, Jordan Howard, Alston, 313 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Nelson, Agalore, injuries up and down the offensive line. 314 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, you know, is banged up, apparently he's going 315 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: to play in this game. And then they're the Dolphins. 316 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: You've got Ryan Fitzpatrick, You've got Devontai Parker, and that's 317 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: pretty much it. So how do you feel here about 318 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles. It's big number here, laying nine over underd 319 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: forty sive in Miami. 320 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 4: I think ultimately this is going to come down to 321 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 4: the Eagles injury report, because at the end of the day, 322 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: if you do have a somewhat healthy Eagles team, I 323 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 4: know they're only five and six on the year. I 324 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: know Carson Wentz hasn't looked good, but they're still significantly 325 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 4: more talented than the Miami Dolphins, who really don't do 326 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 4: anything well. So ultimately, this is one of those where 327 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 4: I would just advise waiting to see what happens with 328 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 4: the Eagles injury report. I certainly wouldn't want to back 329 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 4: the Dolphins personally. I sort of talked about this on 330 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 4: the periscope that I do on my Twitter each week. 331 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 4: But the Dolphins had these I would call them regular 332 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 4: prices early in the year. I mean, they were touchdown 333 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: underdog to Baltimore. There were some games where the spreads 334 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: were realistic, and then they weren't covering. I think it 335 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 4: was four straight games to start the year where they 336 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 4: couldn't cover spread. All of a sudden, you got these 337 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 4: massive inflated numbers seventeen points, twenty twenty one points, and 338 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 4: the Dolphins covered a string of games in a row. 339 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: And now we're back down into what I would call 340 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: the reasonable range. And I don't want to back the 341 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 4: Dolphins at what I consider to be a somewhat reasonable price. 342 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 4: In order to back Miami, I need it to be 343 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 4: an obscene number because this is a really bad football team. 344 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 4: So for me, it's ultimately gonna be Eagles or nothing. 345 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 4: I still do think that, I mean, the Eagles are 346 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: better than a five and sixteen. 347 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: They're tenth in Dvoway. 348 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 4: They just haven't been able to put it together this 349 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 4: year offensively, and defensively in the same game. But certainly 350 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 4: if they get some weapons back, especially Ashon Jeffrey, would 351 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: be a really nice one for them to actually have 352 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 4: a number one receiver. I could see some market support 353 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 4: on the Eagles here in this number going up even further. 354 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: But I ultimately do think that this game and where 355 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: this line moves is going to be dictated by who 356 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 4: is playing for the Philadelphia Eagles on sie. 357 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: So let's say that the reports for the Eagles. By 358 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: the way, I do want to mention I neglected to 359 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: give out Rob's Twitter handle at the beginning, He's at 360 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Rob Pizzela at his name. Let's say that the injury 361 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: reports are great for the Eagles, right, Everybody certainly is 362 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: coming back Lane Johnson, Alshon Jeffrey Nels, Nageler, Jordan Howard 363 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: and everything like that. Where would you expect this line 364 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: necessarily to move throughout the week. 365 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 4: I think you'd see a creep above ten, I mean 366 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 4: ten and a half. You might start to see a 367 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: little bit of buyback on the Dolphins. I'm not quite 368 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 4: sure on that, but I think it could get above 369 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 4: ten depending on the injury status for the Eagles. 370 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the next game here, 371 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: Jets at the Bengals. Jets here are laying it's now 372 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: down to three and a half. It was legitimately four 373 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: when I checked five seconds before we started recording, and 374 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: the over unders at forty one. And I'm sure part 375 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: of the reason that it is on its way down 376 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: is that the Bengals came out today and said that 377 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: they are going back to Andy Dalton as opposed to 378 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Finley. Certainly that makes them a stronger team if 379 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: you've seen Finley play lately. The Jets, though they continue 380 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: to roll. They look solid offensively so long as they 381 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: can face a team without a pass rush, which is 382 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: kind of what the Bengals have. So how do you 383 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: feel here about the Jets laying three and a half 384 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: the over under at forty one. 385 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really tough with the Jets, obviously for the 386 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: reasons that you just mentioned. They're playing much much better 387 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 4: as of late, but they really haven't played anyone. It's 388 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 4: been cupcakes for them for a while now, with the Giants, 389 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 4: the Redskins. Now, I don't want to call the Raiders 390 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 4: a cupcake, but not the greatest scheduling spot for the 391 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 4: Raiders with the early start on the East Coast having 392 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 4: to play the Chiefs in the next week. I mean, 393 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: the Raiders pulled a car in the third quarter of 394 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: that game. That tells you all you need to know 395 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: about how much they're preparing for the Chiefs coming up 396 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 4: this week as well. But ultimately, I do think you're 397 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 4: going to see a couple of things here. We saw 398 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 4: a little bit already, as you mentioned, but I think 399 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: more money will come in on the Bengals. I think 400 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: more money will come in on the over in this game, 401 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 4: barring some really bad weather in Cincinnati. And that's actually 402 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 4: something I should point out. Typically this point of the year, 403 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: totals in half of these games are going to be 404 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: influenced by weather. If it's windy in these East Coast 405 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 4: cold places, you're going to see the totals come down 406 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: in these games, regardless of the matchup, just because we 407 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 4: know that wind is such a factor in games. Ultimately, 408 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 4: if you see clearer conditions and games not being super cold, 409 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: you probably see them go up. It just really has 410 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 4: an influence later on in the year as we go on. 411 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 4: But I do see a bigger than a half point 412 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 4: difference between Finley and Dalton and I think the market 413 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 4: will see that as well. So I think this number 414 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 4: probably comes down to plus three. I think this total 415 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: probably on the rise to closer to forty two forty 416 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: two and a half, again, barring some really bad weather 417 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 4: in Cincinnati. I'm not saying I love either, but I 418 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 4: think that's what the market will support. 419 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would go with the over on this. I 420 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: think both teams are going to be able to move 421 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: the ball fairly effectively. 422 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: Again, you know, the Jets, they've been able to move. 423 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: The ball for the majority of the year. Again, it's 424 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: largely dependent on the pass rush. It's why the Raiders 425 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: laying three was a little bit surprising when you looked 426 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: on the surface. But you know, they're the type of 427 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: team that you know their defense had been playing better, 428 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,239 Speaker 1: but they certainly don't have a strong pass rush that 429 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: fits right into the Jets hands. And again, the Jets 430 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: defense is largely better against the run. That's where primarily 431 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: the Raiders like to live their life through Josh Jacobs 432 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: here and again, the Bengals, they aren't great, but Dalton 433 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: certainly adds a bit of a dimension that they have 434 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: been missing in the past couple of games. 435 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: So I agree. 436 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: I think the over is going to tick up. If 437 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: you like it, you should probably get it now. And 438 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: I could see also the spread continuing to trickle down 439 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: as the market reacts to Dalton coming back. Now, before 440 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: we move on, I want to tell everyone about the 441 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: sponsor of today's show. Bet MGM.

All right, let's move on here to the 469 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: Titans at the Colts. Here are laying three with the 470 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: over under at forty three. The Colts is a tough 471 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: one on Thursday to the Texans. They do get that 472 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: mini by of course, they're still down Marlon Mack. He's 473 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: already been declared out for this game. The Titans look. 474 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: They continue to look extremely strong offensively now that Ryan 475 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: Tannehill is under center and Derrick Henry gets rolling in 476 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: this cold weather games as he often does. They've got 477 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: some injuries to their secondary but overall their defenses playing well. 478 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: So how do you feel here in the divisional game, 479 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: Colts laying three over under at forty three. 480 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 4: I don't think we're going to see much movement on 481 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 4: the side, to be honest with you, I think there's 482 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: a pretty large contingent of the population that probably views 483 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: these teams as equal teams. With that said, the Titans 484 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: have been drawing some money lately. They end up closing 485 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 4: four and a half point favorites over Jacksonville with a 486 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 4: lot of late money coming in on that game last week. 487 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 4: I think probably what you'll see is the total being 488 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 4: bet up. That's been a consistent trend now for Titans 489 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 4: games for the most part, and for the reason that 490 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: you just mentioned. I'm not a Ryan Tannehill fan, but 491 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 4: you can't argue with what he's done in the limited 492 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 4: sample so far. Now. Granted there's been some bad defenses 493 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 4: in that spot, but ultimately he's been able to move 494 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 4: this offense. He's gotten their success rates up to a 495 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: respectable rate. Yards per play way up for the Titans 496 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 4: offense as well. So forty three seems like a short number. 497 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 4: I think this will be bet up probably to forty four, 498 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 4: So I think you'll see some money on the over. 499 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 4: In terms of side I think you're more likely to 500 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 4: see the market back the Colts because of that mini 501 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 4: bye week, because the Titans are coming off will blow 502 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 4: out win. I think potentially you could see some Colts 503 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 4: market support, but probably not too much. Maybe up to 504 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 4: minus three, minus one to twenty something along those lines. 505 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 4: I personally like the over in this game, just even 506 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 4: talking and talking myself into it now. I do like 507 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 4: this Titans offense quite a bit. I think he can 508 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 4: move the ball on this defense as well. So forty 509 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: three seems like a short number in good conditions in 510 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 4: Indianapolis at Lucas Oil. 511 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Lookouad line was forty two, so it's 512 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: already trending up with good reason. As we mentioned with Tanheill, 513 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: this strikes me as a game that's just not going 514 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: to be heavily bet. There just doesn't seem like an 515 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: obvious side here. It seems like a pretty even matchup. 516 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: That's why you know, a divisional game with the Colts 517 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: at home laying three, I don't see much movement, sort 518 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: of exactly what you said. I don't see that this 519 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: line is going to move. I'll be shocked if it 520 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: ends at anywhere other than minus three unless people are 521 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: really you know, because of how dominant the Titans looked 522 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: against the Jaguars and how good Ryan Tannel looked and 523 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: Derek Henry, unless they're sort of buying into that. I 524 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: would really expect this to be a not particularly heavily 525 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: bet game, at least on the spread. But I agree 526 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: with you that the over under is probably going to 527 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: tick up, and I do as well. Kind of like 528 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: it certainly at forty two at the look headline, but 529 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: even at forty three, because I feel like both teams 530 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: are going to look to establish themselves offensively in this one. 531 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: Let's move on to the Browns at the Steelers. Browns 532 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: here or laying one. The look aheadline was Steelers laying 533 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: one and a half, so things have certainly changed there. 534 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 1: The over under at forty the Steelers continued to really 535 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: do nothing offensively. Duck Hodges manages to get them a win, 536 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: but you know, they're probably still without James Connor. They're 537 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: probably still withou ju Juie Smith Schuster, who's battling both 538 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: the concussion and the knee injury. Meanwhile, the Browns continue 539 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: to roll over Miami. The offense looks much stronger now 540 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: that they've added Kareem Hunt. When they have the two 541 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: back sets, it's really making things work there. Darvis Landry 542 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: playing extremely well. There's some bad blood the team's met 543 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. You've got the whole Miles 544 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: Garrett thing hanging over their head, and again Miles Garrett 545 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: being out, you know is does affect the Browns defense, 546 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: even though you didn't really see it against Miami for 547 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: obvious reasons. So how do you feel here a divisional 548 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: game in Pittsburgh, Browns laying one with the total at forty. 549 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're certainly going to get that revenge game narrative 550 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 4: for the Steelers, obviously with what transpired a couple of 551 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 4: weeks ago. What I'm looking for here is the status 552 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 4: of Olivia Vernon on the Browns defensive line, because with 553 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 4: him out, they're missing both of their best edge rushers 554 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 4: and Miles Garrett and Olivia Vernon, so that could certainly 555 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: give I'm assuming Hodges this week. I'd be surprised if 556 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 4: they went back to but I'm assuming Hodges will have 557 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 4: some time in the pocket, and I think he's capable. 558 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 4: I think he's a better quarterback than Kyle Mason. 559 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 3: Rudolph. 560 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 4: I'd certainly be more interested in backing the Pittsburgh Steelers 561 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 4: with Hodges under center. Personally, I do think you're going 562 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: to see some market support for the Steelers at some point. 563 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 4: I think they'll close a favorite. Their numbers are pretty 564 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: good defensively this season. There's probably not much separating these 565 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: two teams. And when you consider that the Browns ended 566 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 4: up closing around a three point favorite against the Steelers 567 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 4: only a couple weeks ago, now, all of a sudden 568 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 4: our laying points on the road at Pittsburgh, I think 569 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 4: that's probably too much of a reversal, just based off 570 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: of Cleveland's game against Miami, who's really just a deplorable 571 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 4: football team. So I think you're gonna get some support 572 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 4: for the Steelers here, And personally I do like the Steelers, 573 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: but I would not want to be backing Rudolph. I'd 574 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 4: certainly be more likely to bet Pittsburgh with Hodges under center. 575 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't imagine that it's going to be Rudolph 576 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: coming in. Just you know, again, Hodges didn't do all 577 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: that much. It was really one seventy nine yard catch 578 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: and run by James Washington. But certainly the offs looked 579 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: a little more alive with him under center. And I 580 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: agree with you here. I think the public is probably 581 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: going to back the Browns in this game, you know, 582 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: laying one, and even if that creeps up, you know, 583 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure it won't get the three or anything like that, 584 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: but even as it creeps up, but I agree, I 585 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: kind of like the Steelers here playing at home. You know, 586 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: probably you know there's some bad blood here going on, 587 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: but I agree the Steelers sort of. You know, Look, 588 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think Mike Tomlin is the 589 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: greatest coach in the world, but he certainly is able 590 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: to get his guys up when it looks like they 591 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: should just be completely fading away. And this is exactly 592 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: a type of game where you think they're just going 593 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: to come out and come out flat. But I think 594 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 1: the defense is going to come out strong. I think 595 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: they'll do enough offensively to be able to move the ball. 596 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: So I do like them getting points certainly, and it's 597 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: probably going to be a game that I'll be in 598 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: on coming in. Let's move on to the Redskins at 599 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Panthers here currently laying ten in the over 600 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: under at thirty nine and a half. Redskins come off 601 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: that big win against the Lions, but you know, they 602 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: do not look good offensively. They get a special team's 603 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: touchdown and all field goals. Dwayne Haskins really probably is 604 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: not ready to be an NFL quarterback, but I don't 605 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: begrudge the Redskins for throwing him out there at this point. 606 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: Give them the last season. 607 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: Panthers. 608 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, they show some life offensively, certainly against the Saints, 609 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: but they lose that heartbreaker game after Joey Side misses 610 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: the field goal. They are desperate for a win here 611 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: returning home. How do you feel it's a big number? 612 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: Panthers laying ten with a total low at thirty nine 613 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: and a half. 614 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 4: I honestly have zero feel on this game, whatsoever sider total, 615 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 4: It's really difficult to obviously back the Redskins in any capacity, 616 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 4: and like you mentioned, you know they're coming off a win. 617 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 4: They got a special team's touchdown in that game. Dwayne 618 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 4: Haskins is not a pro quarterback right now. He's pretty 619 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 4: easily far and away the worst quarterback in the league. 620 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 4: I mean, he misses very routine throws. He just is 621 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 4: horrible decision making all together. So Washington very similarly to Miami. 622 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 4: If I'm going to back them, I want it to 623 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 4: be an obscene amount of points. Now, some might argue 624 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 4: the Panthers is double digit favorites. I mean, the Panthers 625 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 4: are twenty seventh in DVOA this year. It's a pretty 626 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 4: bad number for a team that's laying ten points. They're 627 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 4: coming off an emotional loss against the Saints. They put 628 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 4: a lot of effort in that game. Could conceivably be 629 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 4: a flat spot for them. But I just can't will 630 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 4: myself to bet Washington in any way because the offense 631 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 4: is so so bad. It's one of these games that 632 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 4: Carolina can sleepwalk for an entire half or even three 633 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 4: quarters and still manage to put together one good quarter 634 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: and cover the spreads. So not a game I'll be 635 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 4: involved with on side or total. I actually really have 636 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 4: no idea where the market's going to go with this 637 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 4: one either, because I just think that there's an extreme 638 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 4: reluctancy to back Washington, and we saw it this past 639 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 4: weekend where actually money came in on Jeff driscoll as 640 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 4: a three and a half point road favorite, brought that 641 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 4: number up to four at the Redskins, So really no 642 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 4: one willing to support. 643 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: Washington right now. 644 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't blame them, but I don't think 645 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 4: this is a week where people aren't going to jump 646 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 4: on the bad way. 647 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: No for sure. 648 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: I mean the look aat line was nine and a half. 649 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: It's already moved up a little bit to ten. I 650 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: can't imagine that there's going to be money on the Redskins. 651 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: You know, I don't really know. I kind of want 652 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: to like the Panthers, but ten is just such a 653 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: huge number. Again, you know, I feel like the only 654 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: way I would be worried really coming to the Panthers 655 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: is if they had either one last game or been 656 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: on a winning streak, and this could be a game 657 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: that they just look past. But at this point, they're 658 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: pretty desperate. I think they're gonna come out firing, both 659 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. But at ten, that's just a number 660 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: that I really don't feel comfortable with. Certainly not the Redskins, 661 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: but at this point with the Panthers, with the way 662 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: they've sort of been unable to close the door, it's 663 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: a little difficult for me to get behind them. Let's 664 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: move on to the Packers at the Giants. Packers here 665 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: are laying six, which is down from a look aheadline 666 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: of seven and a half. The over under at forty 667 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: six and a half. Packers just embarrassed on Sunday night 668 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: against the forty nine Ers. They lose their tackle Brian Blaga. 669 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a serious injury, but I doubt 670 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: he'll play this week. They fall into a tie. I 671 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: believe that the Vikings, although I think they own the tiebreaker. Meanwhile, 672 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: the Giants are what they are. They put up a 673 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: fight against the Bears, but they're really just not a 674 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: very good football team. Saquon Barkley has not looked completely healthy. 675 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: They're not showing up either offensively or defensively. I believe 676 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: Golden Tate was placed in the concussion protocol, so there 677 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: are a lot of injury concerns going on here. How 678 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: do you feel about the Packers on the road laying 679 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: six with a total of forty six and a half. 680 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Packers are going to be one 681 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: of those sides that's both a square and a sharp 682 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 4: side this week. If I'm being honest, I think probably 683 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 4: up to seven. You'll see support on the Packers at 684 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: minus six and potentially minus six and a half. I mean, 685 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 4: this is one of those get right spots for them, 686 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: so to speak, embarrassed in prime time and now they're 687 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 4: going to take out the frustration on the Giants, and 688 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 4: that's going to be the narrative I think from the public. 689 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 4: But just in general, from a sharp perspective, or if 690 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 4: you're just backing the game on numbers, the Giants don't 691 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 4: really do anything well. Offensively, they're challenged, they turn the 692 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 4: ball over a little bit too much. Defensively, they've just 693 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 4: I mean, they've been Swiss cheese. Now, granted, the Bears 694 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: didn't move the ball on them, but the Bears don't 695 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 4: really move the ball on anyone, so you can kind 696 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 4: of throw that game out the window. So I think 697 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 4: you'll see a little bit of support for Green Bay here, 698 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 4: nothing crazy, and certainly sportsbooks. 699 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 3: Will be rooting for the Giants. It's really hard to 700 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: keep make a case for New York right now. 701 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 4: I mean, there are two to nine football team for 702 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 4: a reason, and I think early when Daniel Jones came 703 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 4: in earlier in the year, there was some hope, but 704 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 4: I think that's slowly kind of fallen away with this team. 705 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I agree that, you know, I think 706 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: under a touchdown at this point, there's just going to 707 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: be so much money coming in on the Packers, and 708 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: I agree both sides. I like the backers, and you know, 709 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't mind being aligned with the public. And again 710 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: you said that's not necessarily something that you need to 711 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: shy away from, so I agree. Coming off really just 712 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they were embarrassed on national television. I think 713 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: they're going to really want to sort of establish themselves 714 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively, and I think they come out 715 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: with a big performance. And again the Giants just, you know, 716 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: just seem like they're going through the motions at this point. 717 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: So it's really a difficult team to back, even on 718 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: a good day. Let's move on to the forty nine 719 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: ers at the Ravens. The Ravens are currently laying four 720 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: with a total of forty six. Now, we were recording 721 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: this on Monday before the Monday night game between the 722 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: Ravens and the Rams, so we haven't yet seen the Ravens. 723 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: But the forty nine ers, as I mentioned, incredibly impressive 724 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: against the Packers. They get healthy on offense, George Kittle 725 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: comes back, he looks good. Even though he's playing with 726 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: the apparently chip bone in his ankle. 727 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: The defense continues. 728 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: To be extremely strong. It's a really good game here. 729 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: How do you feel assuming nothing crazy happens tonight, no 730 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: big injuries or anything like that, how do you feel 731 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: here about the Ravens laying four in the total at 732 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: forty six? 733 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say to the Ravens Rams game is 734 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 4: going to affect this line in all likelihood. I mean, 735 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 4: if the Ravens win an impressive manner, this probably moves 736 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 4: up to four and a half. If the Rams somehow 737 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 4: win the game tonight, it probably comes down to three 738 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 4: and a half. So that's going to have an impact regardless. 739 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's always going to be appealing to be 740 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 4: taking points with the forty nine ers. 741 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty complete football team. 742 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 4: Offensively, maybe just average, but again, like you said, getting 743 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 4: the weapons back, especially George Kittle, which is huge for them, 744 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 4: that's going to be a better offense going forward. The 745 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 4: defense has been really good this year. But what I 746 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 4: particularly be looking at is probably the total in this game, 747 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 4: and I think I'm gonna like the over in this game. 748 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 4: I do think that the Ravens present some challenges altogether 749 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 4: for pretty much any defense that they face. Again, I 750 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 4: could change my opinion depending on how they face the 751 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 4: Rams tonight, how they show up against the Rams tonight, 752 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: But they're really well coached team. What I like about 753 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 4: Baltimore is that Harbaugh is very aggressive, So they go 754 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 4: forward on fourth down, which I think lends itself to overs. 755 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 4: Either the drives continue or they leave themselves with the 756 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 4: other team with good field position and the Ravens. 757 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 3: And bad field position. 758 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 4: So at forty six, I would expect a little bit 759 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 4: of money to come in on the over. That's probably 760 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 4: where I look at this git, but certainly I need 761 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 4: to reserve my judgment on the side for after I 762 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 4: see the Ravens play tonight. 763 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: It's a great point on Harbaugh, and there is this 764 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: great story about how he has hired a young, you know, 765 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: twenty five year old analytics guy who basically has transformed 766 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: him into somebody who plays the odds much more, and 767 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: those odds usually mean to be aggressive. So he does that, 768 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: which again, as you mentioned, does kind of lead its 769 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: way more often than not to high schoo and towards 770 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: the over. 771 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 2: I'm a little I agree. 772 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: With you, generally speaking, with the over at the total, 773 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't have a great feel for whatsoever. I feel 774 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: like I cannot get a great feel for the forty 775 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: nine ers. It's a great football team, but I feel 776 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: like every time I'm ready to completely back them, they 777 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: lay up a little bit of a dug like against 778 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, where they still win, but they don't really 779 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: look overly impressive. And the total, yeah, I would lean 780 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: towards the over as of this moment. I think both 781 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: teams are gonna be able to put up points, but 782 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: it's not something I feel overly confident in. Let's move 783 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,719 Speaker 1: on to the Bucks at the Jaguars. Jaguars here are 784 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: laying one. This is down from the look headline of 785 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: laying three and the total at forty nine. The Bucks 786 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: come off the big win against the Falcons, they continue 787 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: to have the same exact script, a strong passing offense, 788 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: a strong rushing defense, and no pass defense. Despite that 789 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: strong game against the Falcons. Meanwhile, the Jaguars get totally 790 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: abused by the Titans. Nick Foles has not helped much 791 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: offensively since the switch from Gardner Minshew. So how do 792 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: you feel here about the Jaguars at home laying one? 793 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: To the Bucks with a total of forty nine. 794 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, this one's a really, really tough one for me 795 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 4: because I've actually backed the Bucks a lot this year 796 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 4: and I've lost money in doing so. But typically I 797 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 4: do like this Buccaneers team, but it's gonna be really 798 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 4: hard for me to get behind them at this price. 799 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 4: But obviously, you mean, just following the Jaguars the last 800 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 4: couple of weeks, you have to have a really sour 801 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 4: taste in your mouth the way that they've lost the 802 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 4: Titans and Colts, and they've been thoroughly beat down in 803 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 4: the process of those two games. Ultimately, though I do 804 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 4: think the number is a little bit short. I think 805 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 4: the Jaguars should be priced probably closer to two and 806 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 4: a half point favored in this game, and I ultimately think, 807 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 4: I mean, it's gonna be hard for people to stomach, 808 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 4: especially for big money, but I ultimately think that some 809 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 4: money will come in on Jacksonville in this game. I 810 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 4: think that they'll get one more shot to kind of 811 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 4: to prove themselves. But at this price range, it's gonna 812 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 4: be really tough. It is just because of how poor 813 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 4: they've looked in the last couple of weeks and like 814 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 4: you mentioned Nick Foles not really offering anything for that offense, 815 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 4: but then again, the Bucks pass defense might be the 816 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 4: cure for that. I also see the total at forty nine. 817 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 4: It's been interesting with the Bucks this year because they've 818 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 4: had a lot of high totals that have been bet down. 819 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 4: I'm talking about totals of around fifty two and a 820 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 4: half to fifty four that have come down. And conversely, 821 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 4: when they've had lower totals and games, they tend to 822 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 4: be bet up. So I think this will probably be 823 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 4: bet up. Just thinking about this in my head, I 824 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 4: do see this as a game where there's going to 825 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 4: be a lot of points. So I'd be looking at 826 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 4: Jags minus one and over forty nine in this game. 827 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 2: And I mean, the thing is the Bucks. 828 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: You know, the number gets met up, but I mean 829 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: they hit the over almost every week, don't they. I Mean, 830 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't have the number in front of me, but 831 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: I think they've been hitting the overs even when they're 832 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: ending up high. 833 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 3: Yeah. 834 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 1: I kind of lean towards the Jaguars here. I agree 835 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: at three, you know, laying one, I think the Daguars 836 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: are going to come out of ahead here. I've also 837 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: backed the Bucks a number of times. I think that 838 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: they've kind of been under sold by the numbers that 839 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: are being out there. But in the end, it's so 840 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: difficult to back Winston because you know at some point 841 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: he's going to have the backbreaking turnover. Overall, I kind 842 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: of think this is going to be one of the 843 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: games where the Jaguars at home look to take care 844 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: of business. I do think they win. I do like 845 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: them laying one at this point and then total. I 846 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: don't have a great feel for it. I need to 847 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: get into it a little bit more, but it's difficult 848 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: to go wrong going over with the Bucks. Generally speaking, 849 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: Before we finish up with our last few games, I 850 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: want to mind everyone about our giveaway.

All right, let's move on here 864 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: to the Rams at the Cardinals. Rams are laying three 865 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: and a half with the over under at forty seven. 866 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, we have not yet seen the Monday 867 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: night game between the Rams and the Ravens, so we 868 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: don't know exactly what they're going to look like. So 869 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: this may affect how you view the market. But the 870 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: Cardinals are coming off of by Kyler Murray continues to 871 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: be able to put up points, but their defense really 872 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. They don't get much pressure 873 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: on the quarterback and that's kind of the key to 874 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: getting in Jared Goff's head. So how do you feel 875 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: here again without seeing tonight's game? Rams laying three and 876 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: a half on the road, the total at forty seven. 877 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 4: It seems before tonight's game, it seems like the right 878 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 4: number to me. Three and a half at least the 879 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 4: total I could potentially see coming down a little bit, 880 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 4: just because of the Rams track record away from home 881 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 4: for the most part and Golf being a pretty bad 882 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 4: quarterback away from home. But ultimately, I look at the 883 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 4: Rams and the Cardinals and it's two teams that I'm 884 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 4: pretty reluctant to back for the most part, the Rams 885 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 4: purely due to the inconsistency on offense and just Jared 886 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 4: Goff not being able to successfully move the ball on 887 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 4: a regular occasion, and the Cardinals to me seem like 888 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 4: they're somewhat outperforming their metrics for the most part. I 889 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 4: still don't know what to make of Kyler Murray. Some 890 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 4: games he looks really good, some games he doesn't. But ultimately, 891 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 4: what it comes back to for both these teams is 892 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 4: that I find them to be extremely inconsistent, and those 893 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 4: are not teams that I like to get involved on 894 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 4: for the most part. So three and a half seems 895 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 4: like the right number to me right now. That's where 896 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 4: I would have opened it myself. Again, like you mentioned, 897 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 4: the Rams Ravens game will have an impact on where 898 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 4: this number goes, but ultimately I doubt I'm going to 899 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 4: have a bet on this one in Week thirteen. 900 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think the spread looks about right 901 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 1: to me as well. I am interested in watching tonight 902 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: because for me, I kind of like the under. It 903 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: just look Jared Goff has not looked anything like the 904 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: quarterback that we saw in the beginning of last year 905 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: for essentially a full NFL season at this point. And 906 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, of course the Cardinals don't have a great 907 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: defense or anything like that, but I really don't think 908 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: it matters at this point. So what I really want 909 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: to see is whether or not they come out. It's 910 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: a tough defense with the Ravens tonight, but I want 911 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: to see if they come out with any sort of 912 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: wrinkles that they can do. They're going to find only 913 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: have all three of the receivers. That sounds like if 914 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: Robert Woods plays and Brandon Cooks looks to be back 915 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: from the concussion. But it's really about their offensive line, 916 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: which is just a bunch of no names at this 917 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: point because they've been so decimated there. And with the 918 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals look, I like Murray as a player, but you know, 919 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: I feel like they script the beginning for him. He 920 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: looks good, and after that he's just kind of you know, 921 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: running around and trying to figure it out, and he's 922 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: so talented that he's often able to. But I really 923 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: like the Rams defense since they've added Jalen Ramsey. So 924 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: for me, with the total at forty seven, I kind 925 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: of lean towards the under by I admit that I 926 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: want to see what the Rams look like off of 927 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: bye tonight against a tough defense in the Raid in 928 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Let's move on here to the Raiders at 929 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Chiefs here are now laying nine and a half. 930 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: Look headline was ten, so it's dound half a point. 931 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: The over under is fifty one and a half and 932 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: the total was fifty four and a half with the lookhadline, 933 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: so it's certainly come down from there. Just as we 934 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, terrible loss here for the Raiders against the Jets, 935 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: they just did not show up. They generally struggle at 936 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: East Derek Carr doesn't usually play all that well in 937 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: the cold. They are also down now Hunter renfro who 938 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: injured his ribs and I believe it's going to miss 939 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Now the Chiefs are coming 940 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: off a bye, they're home, They're probably going to be 941 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: pretty healthy overall. So it's a large number. But how 942 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: do you feel here in indivisional game Chiefs in Arrowhead 943 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: laying nine and a half with the total at fifty 944 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: one and a half, I think. 945 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 4: You'll probably see a little bit of money come in 946 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 4: on Oakland. I don't think there's enough I mean of 947 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 4: a discrepancy between these two teams. I still think the 948 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 4: Raiders are an above average team in the NFL. And 949 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 4: I know that they got blown out last week and 950 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 4: they looked really bad in the process, and they're kind 951 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 4: of coming down to earth. But I still think they're 952 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 4: above average team. So certainly the points are tempting here. Obviously, 953 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 4: you'd much prefer a plus ten and a plus nine 954 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 4: and a half, with I mean ten being I don't 955 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 4: want to say a true key number, but I mean 956 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 4: it's a valuable number for the most part. The total 957 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 4: is very interesting to me because, like you mentioned, look 958 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 4: ahead at fifty four and a half, I actually think 959 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 4: this number opened at fifty four and a half and 960 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 4: has been bet down. I think that's probably gone a 961 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 4: little bit too far. If I'm being honest, I think 962 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 4: you'd see some buy back up to round the fifty 963 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 4: two to fifty two and a half range, especially with 964 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 4: the Chiefs coming off of bye. I mean, I'm going 965 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 4: to be really surprised if the Chiefs don't score thirty 966 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 4: in this game, and I think the Raiders offense can 967 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 4: keep up. So personally, I think this total has been 968 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 4: bet down too much. If I'm looking at the game 969 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 4: from a side perspective, I'd somewhat mean to the Raiders, 970 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 4: but I think I'd prefer the over at fifty one 971 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 4: right now. 972 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you that the over is what 973 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: stands out to me. I feel like, you know, there's 974 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: too many you know, negative implications being drawn from you know, 975 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: the way the Chiefs didn't really you know, put up 976 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: a dominant offensive performance in Mexico City against the Charters. 977 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: But of course, not only did you have the thin air, 978 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: which certainly affects things, but you didn't have Tyreek Hill 979 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 1: in that game. And he reportedly is recovering from his 980 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: hamstring injury, so he's playing well. So if everyone is 981 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: there at this point, I really think that he is 982 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: going to be you know, the team as a whole 983 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: is going to put up a big number offensively. I 984 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: agree with you that thirty points seems like it's going 985 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: to be something that they can easily get to. 986 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 2: So I agree with you with. 987 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: The total coming down from fifty four and a half 988 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: to fifty one and a half. I agree that I 989 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: like the over Let's move on to the Chargers at 990 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Chargers here laying two and a half. Now, 991 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: this was a look head line of a pickum, so 992 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: it's certainly moved in favor of the charters. The total 993 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: at thirty eight and a half. The Broncos surprise the 994 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: Chargers by beating them in Los Angeles last time, but 995 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Allen just eighty two yards passing against the Bills 996 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's not a strong offense. The defense still 997 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: generally hangs in there, but they're not quite as dominant 998 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: as they have been in past years. Meanwhile, the Chargers 999 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: are charging. If Philip Rivers could run a two minute drill, 1000 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 1: they'd probably be a five hundred team by now. But 1001 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: you know they've got They've been injured on both sides 1002 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 1: of the ball. The offense just kind of looks out 1003 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: of sync. I don't know whether or not Rivers is 1004 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: just reaching that point in his career. He's thirty seven 1005 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: years old, where it's starting to go downhill. So how 1006 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: do you feel here about the Chargers laying two and 1007 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: a half in Denver with the total low total of 1008 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: thirty eight and a half. 1009 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, this one's a really tough one for me because 1010 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 4: if you had asked me this a week ago, I 1011 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,479 Speaker 4: would have loved the Broncos at plus two and a half. 1012 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 4: But obviously what you saw out to Brandon Allen this 1013 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 4: week was just a deplorable performance. 1014 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 3: And I mean he just doesn't have it. I mean, 1015 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 3: he's not an. 1016 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 4: NFL quarterback, He's not an NFL calendar quarterback in a 1017 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 4: league that is very quarterback driven. That's obviously a challenge. 1018 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 4: But is there enough separating the Broncos, even with Brandon 1019 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 4: Allen at quarterback, to be two and a half point 1020 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 4: underdogs at home to the Chargers. I mean, would they 1021 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 4: be catching more than a touchdown if they were on 1022 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 4: the road here? 1023 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 3: I doubt it, especially when you. 1024 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 4: Consider that they just closed as a three and a 1025 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 4: half point underdog at Buffalo a week ago. So it's 1026 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 4: tough because you don't want to put too much stock 1027 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 4: into one week, but it's really hard. Ultimately, I think 1028 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 4: you might see some more Chargers money bring this up 1029 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 4: to three before some Sharps get bring this number back 1030 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 4: down to two and a half. I don't see it 1031 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 4: moving a whole lot, but if it does move a 1032 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 4: whole lot, it's probably going to be to the Broncos, 1033 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 4: who have been a pretty you know, sharps have been 1034 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 4: willing to back them this year because they've had so 1035 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 4: many close losses. I think there was four games going 1036 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 4: into last week where they've lost by a combined ten points, 1037 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 4: so easily could be a team that's above five hundred 1038 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 4: right now. Instead they're three to eight. When you look 1039 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 4: at DVOA, there's still ahead of the Chargers this year, 1040 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 4: So ultimately, I think you'd be more likely to see 1041 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 4: people back back the Broncos than not, and then depending 1042 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 4: on the wind. I know thirty eight and a half 1043 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 4: is a low total, but based on what we've seen 1044 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 4: under these two offenses recently, we'll probably see some support 1045 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 4: for the under in this game as well. 1046 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a low one, but I agree that if 1047 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: there's going to be support one way or another, I 1048 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: think more money is going to come in on the under. 1049 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: This is not a game that I have a great 1050 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: feel for man, I mean, but you know, both teams look. 1051 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 2: I like the. 1052 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: Broncos actually this week against Buffalo, I for pretty much 1053 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: all the reasons that you say. They're certainly still competing 1054 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: even though they're way out of playoff contention, But in 1055 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: the end, they just never seem to be able to 1056 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: close the door. Now, they weren't close in Buffalo this week. 1057 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, like you said, they easily could have been 1058 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 1: a five hundred team had some things broken differently. But 1059 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: the charters really again, you know, it's just it's not 1060 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: happening right now for them, and when they have a 1061 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: chance to put it away, they're not able to do it. 1062 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,919 Speaker 1: So it's not a game that I feel real good about. 1063 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: If anything, I agree despite the total, I kind of 1064 00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: like the under at thirty and a half. Let's move 1065 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: on to the Pats. At the Texans. Patriots here are 1066 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: laying three and the over under at forty four and 1067 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: a half. The Patriots continue to win despite looking lackluster offensively. 1068 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: They're also pretty beat up. They were down Mohammed Sanu 1069 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: and Philip dore Set this past week. I don't know 1070 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: if they're going to play necessarily. I haven't seen the 1071 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: practice sports yet their defense though, look, it remains outstanding. 1072 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's not quite as dominant as it looks 1073 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 1: in that long run against subpar teams early in the season, 1074 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: but they certainly continue to put up quality, quality efforts. Meanwhile, 1075 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: the Texans, they win against the Colts in the game 1076 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: that was essentially must win on Thursday, but they are 1077 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 1: far from impressive on either side of the ball. 1078 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 2: You can throw on them pretty easily. 1079 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, his play is kind of sporadic, as he's 1080 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 1: running for his life often. So how do you feel 1081 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: here about the Pats laying three and the over under 1082 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: a forty four and a half. 1083 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 4: It's a tough one because this one feels a lot 1084 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,959 Speaker 4: like Patriots Ravens from a few weeks ago in terms 1085 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 4: of the way that it's set up. The Texans have 1086 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 4: a little bit of extra rest coming into this game. 1087 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 4: The only difference between the Patriots Ravens and Patriots Texans 1088 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 4: is that the Ravens actually have a very good coach 1089 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 4: and the Texans don't. And that's what I really struggle 1090 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 4: with in this game. It's why I struggle to back 1091 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 4: Dallas even though they cover the spread against New England. 1092 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 4: This week is because this is Bill Belichick against Bill 1093 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 4: O'Brien and that's a huge coach coaching mismatch. So I 1094 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 4: think you're going to see this bounce around between three 1095 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 4: and three and a half all week long. I think 1096 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 4: you'll see sharp support on both sides of this game. 1097 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 3: I really do. 1098 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 4: But it's really tough to bet against the Patriots when 1099 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 4: you don't like the opposing coach when you're not getting 1100 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 4: a big number. Now, granted, they don't look like the 1101 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 4: Patriots of the year's pass especially offensively, So this is 1102 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 4: what I think you're going to see some market support 1103 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 4: on the under here, and that's been pretty consistent with 1104 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 4: the Patriots over the last four to six weeks here. 1105 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 4: And I know the total will be forty five be 1106 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 4: considered low for the Texans, who typically have a pretty 1107 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 4: good offense, but even they've been struggling offensively lately, struggled 1108 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 4: to put away the Colts last week as well, So 1109 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 4: I think you're going to see this total come down 1110 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 4: potentially to forty four, which is a key number in 1111 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,439 Speaker 4: NFL totals. And if I was looking to back this game, 1112 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 4: that's what I would like. Under forty five. 1113 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you mentioned that the total is going 1114 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: to be bouncing back and forth. Look the if you 1115 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: look at betting Bros dot Com and you have you know, 1116 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: maybe eight or nine sports book listed there, you know, 1117 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: it's like five of them are at minus three and 1118 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: five of them are at minus three and a half, 1119 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 1: So it is probably going to be bouncing around there. 1120 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: I do expect the Patriots to win this game, if 1121 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 1: for no other reason then exactly what you said. It's 1122 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,800 Speaker 1: a coaching mismatch for sure. And realistically, if the Patriots 1123 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: get healthy and they get a little bit more in 1124 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: the receiver, I do think you know, Brady does not 1125 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,919 Speaker 1: looked good. The team as a whole does not look good. 1126 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 2: You know, the. 1127 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: Weather in New England was terrible yesterday against the Cowboys. 1128 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 1: It's really tough to take anything from that. I think 1129 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: they are going to be able to come up with 1130 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,319 Speaker 1: some wrinkles. And again the Texans, you know, it's not 1131 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: like JJ Watt was doing that much this season, but 1132 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: certainly defensively you can really exploit them. 1133 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 2: So I do expect the Pats to be able to 1134 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 2: at least win by three. 1135 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 1: If it gets above the key number, I'm gonna get 1136 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,919 Speaker 1: a little nervous about it, but overall I'd lean towards 1137 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: the Patriots on the spread. Let's move on to the 1138 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 1: final game, the Monday night game, the Vikings at the Seahawks. 1139 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: Currently the Seahawks laying two and a half and the 1140 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: total at forty nine's big game here. The Seahawks continue 1141 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: to basically outperform all models and the talent they have 1142 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,359 Speaker 1: on their team, and they just pretty much win each 1143 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: and every week. They win a sloppy game against the 1144 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: Eagles and bad weather even though they were down to 1145 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: gadevan Clowney, they win nonetheless. Meanwhile, the Vikings are impressive 1146 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 1: of late. They have that big comeback win against the Broncos. 1147 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: They should get Adam Thielen back. The defense is not 1148 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: anything to write home about, particularly the pass defense at 1149 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: this point. But how do you feel here the Vikings 1150 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: at the Seahawks on Monday Night Seahawks laying two and 1151 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: a half with the pretty high total as has often 1152 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: been the case with Seahawks here at forty nine. 1153 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is again just a scenario where 1154 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,800 Speaker 4: depending on the number, you'll have support on either side. 1155 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 4: So at two and a half you probably see the 1156 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 4: Seahawks get bought up a bit or people snatch those 1157 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 4: two and a half, even if it's a little bit 1158 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 4: more big on those I think three. Certainly you'll see 1159 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 4: people want to back the Vikings, and it's pretty easy 1160 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 4: to make a case for both of these teams here. Obviously, 1161 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 4: if you're making a case for a Seahawks you would 1162 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 4: allude to Kirk cousins historical performance against good teams. I'm 1163 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 4: not sure how much stock I put into that, because 1164 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit overblown. But obviously if 1165 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 4: you're looking at the Vikings, you can point to a 1166 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 4: lot of advanced metrics that show that the Seahawks are 1167 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 4: probably a little bit overrated as well. Personally, I think 1168 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 4: this total is low at forty nine. I do think 1169 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 4: the Vikings can move the ball on the Seahawks defense. 1170 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks having such a good defensive performance 1171 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 4: against the Eagles has really kind of misled people a 1172 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 4: little bit because Carson Wentz missed a ton of throws 1173 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 4: in that game looked really, really horrible. The Seahawks still 1174 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 4: don't have much of a pass rush. We'll see the 1175 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,919 Speaker 4: status of Jadavian Clowney, but if he's out, that's even 1176 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 4: that's music to Kirk Cousins ears because I just don't 1177 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 4: think the Seahawks are a great defense overall. So personally, 1178 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 4: I think this total is going to get bet up. 1179 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 4: I think by game time you could see it in 1180 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 4: the fifties. And I see both these teams scoring points. 1181 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 4: It's one of those where I've you know, from a 1182 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 4: numbers perspective, I do like the over, but also just 1183 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 4: thinking about it subjectively, I think there's going to be 1184 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 4: plenty of points in this game. 1185 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely agree. I don't like the spread. I 1186 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: just you know, I think the Vikings are a better team. 1187 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,720 Speaker 1: But you know, Wilson really is playing at an MVP 1188 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 1: level right now. It's not you know, on Monday night 1189 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: in that building. It's not really a case where I'd 1190 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 1: want to bet against the Seahawks at this point. But 1191 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: the total one hundred percent agree. Both these teams are 1192 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, they have the reputation of having these great defenses, 1193 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 1: but in the end, they're really both exploitable and I 1194 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: think both offenses. 1195 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 2: Look. 1196 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: I think since the Vikings have kind of opened it 1197 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: up a bit offensively here, and you know they have 1198 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: the dominant run game with Dalvin Cook, but since they've 1199 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: opened it up, especially with Adam Thielen coming back, I 1200 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,319 Speaker 1: think they're really going to be able to put up 1201 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: a lot of points here. And the Seahawks can as well. 1202 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 1: You know, they have two solid running backs, and again 1203 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: Wilson is just basically able to do whatever he wants. 1204 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: So I agree with you completely. If you like the total, 1205 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: which I do, which sounds like Rob does, and I 1206 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,320 Speaker 1: think getting in on it now before it starts creeping 1207 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: up past fifty is probably a good idea. Well, that's 1208 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: going to do it for today's show. Rob, It was 1209 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 1: really great having you on. I thought you brought a 1210 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: lot of exceptional insight into the game, and you use 1211 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: the word deplorable twice, which I think is really an 1212 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 1: underused word in our vernacular. So and I think they 1213 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,720 Speaker 1: were both apped as one of them was to describe 1214 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: Brandon Allen, so absolutely right on. Remind everybody where they 1215 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: can find more of you and your work. 1216 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, just follow me on Twitter at rob Azzola. 1217 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 4: I mean, if you have betting related questions, my direct 1218 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 4: messages or dms are open on Twitter, so you know 1219 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 4: I try to answer. 1220 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 3: As many of those as possible.
