23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: Let's dive into my main man, Stucky. Okay, we've been

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: doing this every week for years. For those of you

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: watching that are new to this, this is my good

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: friend Stucky. He is a fellow degenerate gambler, works for

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 2: the Action Network. You can find him all over the place,

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: big bets on campus, guys, dialed in on college football

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: and basketball, and knows the National Football League from a

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: gambling standpoint as well as anyone I've ever been associated with.

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: So we do this all throughout the football season. And

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: he's he just had a baby as well, So he's

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 2: got a new baby, he's got basketball season in full swing,

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: he's got the NFL playoffs. Probably slept, my guess would

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: be over under eight hours this entire week and going

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: right into a massive, massive weekend for the National Football League. Stuckey,

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: how are you holding up?

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah under on that and yeah, everything's going well. Had

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: a rough I had a rough Wildcard weekend. I loved,

40
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: loved my card and I mean JAG's first half was

41
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: one of my favorite bets of the year, and Jack's

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: first half money line had him I think plus one

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: h two closed like minus one forty five, They missed

44
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: a field goal, Parker Washingt gets hurt, Trevor Lawrence's shin

45
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: goes down. That was rough. The Packers were one of

46
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: my favorite bets. That was absolute pain. It was only

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: the second time in playoff history a team has scored

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: twenty five or more points in the four, fourth quarter

49
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: ind or overtime in a fifteen plus point comeback. The

50
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: other was the Falcons against the Patriots and the Super Bowl,

51
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: or I should say the Patriots against the Falcons super

52
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: Bowl when they were down twenty eight three. That was

53
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: one of my biggest losses ever. I had the Falcons

54
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: plus four and a half, one of the most painful

55
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: losses and one of the biggest financially. So that was

56
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: like reliving that.

57
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 2: So how cocky were you at twenty eight three that day?

58
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? I thought it was over. And I mean this

59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: sequence of events that had to happen. I mean that

60
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: this is what Bears games have been like all season.

61
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: But you had McManus missing kicks left and right the

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: fourth and eight that was the game you. I mean,

63
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you have to give Caleb credit for that throw on

64
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: fourth and eight, But if they don't call the false start,

65
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: the ball snaps over his head. The game's over if

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: they don't convert that fourth and eight. The Packers of

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: the ball at midfield, up eleven with six to go.

68
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought it was over. And then when

69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: they scored again, then I got a little nervous. Then

70
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: when I scored again to go up eleven, I thought

71
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: it was over. But then after that fourth and eight,

72
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: I was like, you never know this Bear team. I've

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: seen this story. And then they get the two point conversion.

74
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: The Packers miss more kicks. I mean, if you think

75
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: about it, if they just the margins are so thin

76
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL playoffs from a betting perspective and just

77
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: in how these games are decided. And I mean the

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Jags they have an all Pro kicker, they make twenty

79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: kicks in a row. They miss a kick at the

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: end of the first half, which is like a shock

81
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: you miss even though it was from like fifty two. Yeah,

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: that ends up being the margin the Packers if they

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: make any of those kicks, if Ecvanness makes any of

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: those kicks at the extra point or any of the

85
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: field goals, they miss a kick at the other the

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: first half too. Then at the end when they're at

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line, I mean McManus would probably miss

88
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: it again, but you could kick a fuel goal either

89
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: tied or win it, and you don't need a touchdown there.

90
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: So the margins are very thin. And then I had

91
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers, which I was just dead wrong on. I mean,

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: Herbert was. He was bad, horrifying. I mean, you could

93
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: blame the offensive line, you could blame the game plan.

94
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't care like that. In the first half, he

95
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: had pockets to throw, he had clean pockets, and he

96
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: couldn't make the throws. He looked gun shy. He looked

97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: like a rookie. I mean, that was the worst I've

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: ever seen him play. And credit to the Patriots, apparently

99
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: they were the charters. Offense was confused, but Herbert misthrows,

100
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: missed wide open guys and just looked gunshy. So yeah,

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: it didn't get much right on the weekend. Did have

102
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: some Eagles forty nine ers under which I had a sweat.

103
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, a couple of bad breaks, but that that'll happen.

104
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 2: What were you saying? A couple situations the Jags game

105
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: when they only have the one time out and there's

106
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: a minute left. Would you have knelt the ball, made

107
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: him burn it and then you know, get it down

108
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: or I guess they were out of timeout, so you

109
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: kneel the ball, you get it to like what thirty

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: second range to be safe, to give yourselves a little time,

111
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: I thought, And I get it, you're on the road.

112
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: But I it's like, man, this this team is a

113
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: great kicker. The kickoff rule now shortens the field. I'm

114
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: all for. I get it. You can't get tricky, but

115
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: you have the best player you know on the planet

116
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: who's dominating this game. The touch push had been working

117
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: or the josh push or whatever you want to call it.

118
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: That that was a pretty big risk by McDermott. That

119
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: ended up paying off because they get the pick whatever

120
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: a couple of plays later. But I was like, damn,

121
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: that's that was crazy.

122
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: I thought one thousand percent. I tweeted it out immediately.

123
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: I said, you have to quick knee and then score.

124
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: What would you run it down to like twenty five Yeah.

125
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Twenty five seconds? Because you've also had a time out.

126
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they had a couple.

127
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like time was it an issue for you?

128
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: But just think about it from a probability standpoint, Like

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 1: if the chances of you scoring a touchdown on second, third,

130
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: and fourth in goal, you can get three chances with

131
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Twitsch I mean is ninety nine percent,

132
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: maybe ninety eight percent. Like you could have a false

133
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: start right there could be a fumble and snap that

134
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: could happen on first down too, but that those chances

135
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: are so much higher than the chances of you scoring

136
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: right away and then kicking off. There's a chance. The

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Jags started the thirty five that Cam Little was kicking,

138
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: was making seventy yarders in pregame warmups. He's two of

139
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: two from sixty seven plus in his career. The rest

140
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: of the NFL. In NFL history, all of the kickers

141
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: are oh of twenty two from sixty seven plus. You

142
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: might only need one first down to get a fugel range.

143
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: That probability is so much higher. So they they completely

144
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: botched it that they got away with it because Lawrence

145
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: threw a pick, but he also missed the touch There

146
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: was a wide open guy on that play that could

147
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: have ran for a touchdown. I thought McDermott completely botched

148
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: that you have to go down there and the other

149
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: there's two other reasons why you know that was the

150
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: bad move. That was the incorrect move from a game

151
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: theory perspective. One, the Jags money line where the Bills

152
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: live money line in the live market. When they scored

153
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: on first down, their odds went down to win the game,

154
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: so like the market would say, okay, now, the probability

155
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: then winning the game is lower than if they would

156
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: have waited. And number two, the Jags let them score,

157
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: so that the Jags knew that they needed to let

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: the Bills score there to give them the best chance

159
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: to tie the game into force overtime. So yeah, it

160
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: was the wrong move. McDermot almost pulled a you know,

161
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: a Chiefs thirteen second repeat from a couple of years

162
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: ago when they messed up the kickoff and then they

163
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: let Kelsey catch up pass up the seam to get

164
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: a field goal range. Now, no one will ever talk

165
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: about it again because Lawrence thro a pick. But I

166
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: thought it was clearly the wrong move, but they got

167
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: away with it. Allen was incredible, and I mean, yeah,

168
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: you just have to go down there. There's no way

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: that they're stopping Allen on three downs from the one.

170
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean totally with you. Obviously the Eagle game,

171
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, to lose to that forty nine er team

172
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: wallow from practice squads to Eric Kendricks, who was kind

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: of out of the league, you know, trending toward his

174
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: career being over making game winning plays against you, you

175
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: know the time. You know, Kyle is not a trick

176
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: play guy. You know, I can count on one hand

177
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: the trick plays he's running the last five year. But

178
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: they've all come in big spots. Won the Super Bowl,

179
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: won in that famous uh debo, threw a pass to

180
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: Jennings against the Rams week eighteen. The Niners had to

181
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: win to get in the division. They were getting blown

182
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: out in the first half. I was actually at that game.

183
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: So he's not Kyle's you know, not some you know

184
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson with the trick play. So when he busts

185
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: him out, you know he clearly he's on tilt, knowing

186
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: his season was, you know, on the line. Obviously in

187
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: a playoff game, it is, but the underdog mentality. We'll

188
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: get into that game a little bit later. Against Seattle,

189
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: I think, you know, they might need like a fake

190
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: pun or a fake field goal. They should be using

191
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: some of that type stuff. This week potentially, but man,

192
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: that was you know, looking back, it's one of those

193
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: I didn't have much faith just because and part of

194
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: it was recency biased. It wasn't even just the Seattle game.

195
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: It was a week before against Chicago when they were

196
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: just scoring it will You're like, this defense just out

197
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: of bodies. But I mean, what you know, we talk

198
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: a lot about coaching performances, but Kyle and Sola coming

199
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: out of that, I mean, that's a pretty legendary performance

200
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: by those two guys.

201
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable. They deserve all the credit, that's the beautiful

202
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: thing about and it makes it tough to bet on.

203
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: You know, obviously lines are really efficient this time of

204
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: the year, but this is you know, I'll spend all

205
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: week diving into tendencies and NFL teams change on a

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: week to week basis, but especially in the playoffs, you

207
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: can flip, right, and that's when you can flip everything

208
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: these highest leverage games. But I thought Sala did a

209
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: tremendous job with his fifth, sixth, and seventh string linebackers,

210
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: and you know, part of what you know, like Salid,

211
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: there's a ton of credit for what he's working with him,

212
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: what he's done all year, but part of that was

213
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: the story of the Eagles all year. Yeah, I mean,

214
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: this is a team they went twenty they went to

215
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: stretch after they went on a ninety six yard touchdown drive,

216
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: They went twenty seven plays for twenty four yards over.

217
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: It just happened all year, no matter who they played,

218
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: and it is just how many hitches can you run?

219
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: They couldn't run the ball on anybody. But I thought

220
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Shanahan because that Eagles defense, which was healthy too, was

221
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: one of the most elite units in the NFL all year. Additionally,

222
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: you had wind going up against that defense, going up

223
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: against a Fangio defense that in foe head to head

224
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: meetings Shanahan never cleared fifteen points to average ten point

225
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: two five points per game, clearly had Shannan's number, so

226
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: he made I just thought he called a hell of

227
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: a game, used a trick play at the right time.

228
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were gonna be able to hit

229
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: that many pass explosives. I mean, DeMarcus Robinson looked like

230
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Rice out there, So I thought Shanahan

231
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: was unbelievable to lose kittle two to go do that

232
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: drive to take the lead was awesome, but it also

233
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: was a fitting end and a micro cosm of the

234
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: entire season for the Eagles, although I didn't expect the

235
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: defense to get torched like that, but the offense it

236
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: was a lot overdue that that's how they would that

237
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: they would end their season because Patula and that offense,

238
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: it was just a disaster from from day one.

239
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: Patula and you've been rattling off stats, like statistically he

240
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: is dramatically worse than the Ben Johnson offense, which was

241
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: obviously struggled. But the quarterback has to get some ship.

242
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean he he doesn't. He doesn't want to run anymore.

243
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 2: That that would have been a game Lamar Jackson or

244
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: Josh Allen would have ran for eighty five to one

245
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: hundred yards. He could one play they got called back.

246
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: He could have had that play all game long. Quarterback

247
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: sweeps quarterback. But he doesn't want to do it, clearly

248
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: because it's not like the staff's like, let's just out

249
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: run Jalen. They're not that dumb. It's the quarterback. I

250
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: told this to Colin on Sunday night. I think he

251
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: views himself like Russell did, like once they won the

252
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: Super like I'm a pot quarterback. I'm not running anymore.

253
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: And Russell was even less of a runner than like

254
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: Jalen is a natural runner in the open field. But

255
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: he just doesn't want to do it because you should

256
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: have called like minimum, like five quarterback powers. A couple

257
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: of the probably would have hit for like twenty yards.

258
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah it was that was the defense that you do

259
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: it against. And yeah there's a patula, doesn't he gets it.

260
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: He deserves a ton of blame, but certainly not all

261
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: of it. Heerts should get a lot. The offensive line

262
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: also is way worse. I mean, how many times gets

263
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: no matter who they played is Barkley. It's not like

264
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: Barkley lost a step. You can see him once he

265
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: hit once he is a hole, still has the same explosives.

266
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: How many times all year they hand the ball off

267
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: the Barkley and immediately he's.

268
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: Led the league led? The league touches behind the backfield

269
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage.

270
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: And like the forty nine ers run defense a team

271
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't get pressure. They were in the backfield all night.

272
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: So the offensive line deserves some blame as well. And

273
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: then I think Siriani and how I don't know his

274
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: the offense was almost it kind of took on like

275
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: his arrogance, like they would just they felt like they

276
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: were just like too cool for school sometimes and they

277
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: would put a drive together and then they would just

278
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: be lax days. There was no never any energy. But

279
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: when he went after he went after A J. Brown

280
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: for not getting off the sidelines, they get in each

281
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: other's face and then A J. Brown doesn't have to

282
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: catch the rest of the day like he A J.

283
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: Brown is. It seems like he's that type of guy

284
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: that is just like all right, I'm checking out of here, Like, yeah,

285
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you have to know how to handle the personalities of

286
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: your team. I would be shocked if he's back in

287
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: Philly if is stuck you.

288
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: But AJ Brown is a lock to be traded in

289
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: the next probably after the combine, it'll be announced he's

290
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: been has it has to.

291
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Be, But like, yeah, what a waste you have? They

292
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: have talent like you have A J. Brown, Devonte Smith,

293
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, you know, Dallas Goddard on paper of one

294
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: of the better offensive lines and then what a waste

295
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: for that offense and a talented roster. But credits are

296
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers for going on the road and

297
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: getting a win that you know, not a lot of

298
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: people saw, including myself. Uh, it's all happening.

299
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: Do you consider yourself you know when people said the

300
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: sharps aron so and so, do you consider yourself as sharp?

301
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: Uh? I would? I mean yeah, I would say so.

302
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: And it's it's it's all round like there's gonna be when.

303
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: One of the things that I will say is that

304
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: when like last week the books they said the sharp

305
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: sides were like the Jags, Pittsburgh Packers, Ye had the

306
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: steel I wasn't on the Steelers, but I was on

307
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: the Jags, the Packers, the Eagles at an early number,

308
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: and so I tend to be on similar sides. But

309
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: the number one. There's two two key points here. The

310
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: numbers matter. So like when sports mustile to come out

311
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: and say like are sharper accounts and these are accounts

312
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: that are that are respected and that they they'll move on.

313
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: And you know, you could come in just a guy

314
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: off the street or Floyd Mayweather and bet even way

315
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: bigger than some of these respect accounts and they're not

316
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: going to move off it. But these sharp accounts that win,

317
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: they'll they'll move the line or respect it. Based on

318
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: where some of these accounts are betting, but the number one.

319
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: The numbers matter, So like there was there was sharp

320
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: money on the Eagles, but that was you know, it

321
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: opened three and a half, it got up to six.

322
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: There all there will also was some sharp money that

323
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: came in on the forty nine ers. That's right, So

324
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: numbers matter, there's different entry points, and then there's also

325
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna be conflicting. You know, some sharp groups might like

326
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: you know, like the Jags, but there was also some

327
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: short money that came into the Bills when they got

328
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: to plus two, plus two and a half. So all

329
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: that is just speaking in generals. But it was a

330
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: rough weekend for a lot of sharp betters and uh

331
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: including myself. But you know that's what happens in small,

332
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: small sample size. You really just try to get the

333
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: best of the number, which I did so I can't

334
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: complain too much. And then you're you're you're betting on

335
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: football games with small margins at an oblong ball. Sometimes

336
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get bounces, sometimes you're not. But yeah, that's

337
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: I would assume this week for the sharp sides, I

338
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: don't even know. I would assume, like New England that

339
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: under it opened under three. I'm there was probably some

340
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: sharp early money.

341
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: Rams.

342
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Rams are probably gonna have more

343
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: sharp money there. And then Saturday, I don't I could see.

344
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be sharp money on both the

345
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Denver and San fran Seattle. I think there

346
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: was early sharp money in Seattle, like just real early,

347
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: and then I could see some sharp money on like

348
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: San fram whenever it gets above seven, and then I

349
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: think inevitably it's gonna settle it at seven. But I

350
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: don't you might have. I think you have some sharp

351
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: money on the Denver Buffalo under which I like. And yeah,

352
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: other than that, there there obviously was sharp money on

353
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: the Rams bears under because that to move it from

354
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: it was backing off to fifty one and a half

355
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: and it came down to forty eight and a half.

356
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: It's a pretty substantial move, but these things can change

357
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: later in the week is limits could even higher, so we'll,

358
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: but last week it was it was rough for sharp

359
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: betters'll that'll that'll have one weekend a lot of avariants.

394
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: Well let's just start with the bills, and I think

395
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: it's fair to say when you get a number like

396
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: this that hovers between you know, bills right now in

397
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: Hardrock Bet as if we're recording this on Wednesday, you

398
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: know are minus one on the road against Denver. The

399
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: numbers shifted around a little bit. But like you said

400
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: to me offline that the money line really reflects this

401
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: game as a coin flip game. You know, when you

402
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: look at Denver, even if I give them a pass,

403
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: let's just say for sake of argument, we removed the

404
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: Charger game. They're rolling out Trey Lance, who's probably not

405
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: two deep player in the NFL. The previous week they

406
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: played the Raiders on that whatever was it Christmas or

407
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve division game, weird thing. Just let's say remove that.

408
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: The previous time when they played Jacksonville, which was a

409
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: massive game at the time, they kind of got worked

410
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: not kind of that they did. And their defense, you know,

411
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: like when you watch the Eagles or you watch Seattle,

412
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: there's a physicality to their defense. I think when you

413
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: watch Denver there's more speed oriented. And I just think

414
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 2: that like the question on Denver, Obviously, bo Nicks has

415
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: been the big kind of elephant in the room, but

416
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: if their defense isn't as dominant, like they don't look

417
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: like Houston or something. Right, now, did you go how

418
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: good is this team? The quarterback's never proven anything, and

419
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: he's been very iffy most of the season, and clearly

420
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: like he was trying in those last couple of games.

421
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: It didn't look great the Bills. We talked about it

422
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: last week. I just took Josh. It's been on Josh

423
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: and it worked. And I mean the difference in that game.

424
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: I thought Trevor was all over the place. Liam Cohen

425
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: probably should have ran the ball more. They were having

426
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: much success, I mean part of the deal against Buffalo.

427
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 2: And you saw this last year with your squad Baltimore,

428
00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: like lean on physically they're not yea, yeah, what are

429
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: you guys doing? So I think this is a tough spot.

430
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: You know, Denver just they had a lot of question marks.

431
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: Now maybe just we look back in the year, they

432
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: answer them over the next couple of weeks and we

433
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: don't think about them like that. But I'm taking the Bills.

434
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna hammer the money line in this game.

435
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: And just like I said last week, if they beat

436
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: this Jacks team, I'm just gonna hammer them till they lose.

437
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: And that's my mindset here. The other thing is, I

438
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: was at the dog park the other day and we

439
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 2: start talking to this lady and she comes up. She's like, Oh,

440
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: is your wife the one that's pregnant. I'm like yeah,

441
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: and we's like the guy was wearing a Broncos sweatshirt.

442
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, you're from Colorado. He's like, yeah, We've

443
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: lived there for forty years, right, we bought a house

444
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: here forever. We came over here during the winter, big

445
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: Bronco fans. I'm like, oh, it's probably cold, snowy week.

446
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 2: He's like, actually, I just text my son. It's sixty

447
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: degrees and I look today, the sun's gonna be out

448
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: and it's like in the fifties. So this is not

449
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: some frigid, cold Denver Bronco Mile High game. It's not

450
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: quite Jacksonville where people are in the pool, but at least,

451
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: based on what I saw, could be potentially a nice afternoon,

452
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: you know, day game. So that to me benefits Josh Allen,

453
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: does it not? So I'm taking the bills in this game.

454
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I so I agree with that. The Broncos defense

455
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: is it's not as elite as Seattle and Houston. It's

456
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: very good, and they might get drag Green.

457
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: Law back, which their physicality, yeah, which they need.

458
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean last year, So these teams met last year

459
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and the Bills won thirty one seven

460
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: in the first round. The Broncos linebacker and corps. Linebacker

461
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: corps was decimated by injury that in game injuries, and

462
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't as good as what it would be if

463
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: especially if Green laws back. And you know, they added Hufunga,

464
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: who provides some more physicality as well in the run game.

465
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna have Locke, who is vulnerable at safety

466
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: because their start, their starting safety is out with an injury,

467
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Jones. But yeah, this so and what happened in

468
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: that game is the Bills just ran all over them

469
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: and they just leaned on Denver. I don't think they'll

470
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: be able to do that as success successfully here. But

471
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: I do think that they'll have success running.

472
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: The ball because they didn't really against Jacksonville, right, Cook

473
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: was kind of a non factor in that game.

474
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Jason Rundy has been e lead all year.

475
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: They had a top five Rundy. Now, on paper, the

476
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: Broncos have a top five run dye. But when they

477
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: stepped up and faced some teams that can run the ball,

478
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: like some of the top tier running teams, they didn't

479
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: face a lot they they weren't as dominant, so I

480
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: could see I think the Bills have to lean on

481
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: the ground game here. I'm so curious to see what

482
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: they do from because here, so for starters, I did

483
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: play the under. I don't blame you for taking I mean,

484
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: if you just need to win a game historically, like

485
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: on the money line as a dog or as a

486
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: favorite under a fueld goal, Josh Allen is, you know,

487
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: the just to win the game. Is the most profitable

488
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history, and he just might be the

489
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes of this year, right, like who cares I have

490
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? Like? Right, but last year was you know,

491
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: nearest prior was just who cares live Patrick Mahomes. It's

492
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: like it didn't matter. You just bet the bet the

493
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs to win the game. And that's basically what happened

494
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: last week, right, Like the Jags were they had the game,

495
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen just despite all the injuries, he just

496
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: made plays when he had to at the end. And

497
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: that could happen here.

498
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: Now do you agree to if they if they win

499
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: this game? So they've I mean the Jags obviously the

500
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: hottest team coming in the playoffs potentially in the league.

501
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: Then you go on the road to the number one seed,

502
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: beat him, and more likely, I guess Houston will get

503
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: into that game. Who beat the shit out of the

504
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: Bills early this season. Might be a tough matchup for him.

505
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: So actually it's it might not be as easy to

506
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: just be like they're just gonna win the super Bowl.

507
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: The Houston thing, well, I guess we'll get to that

508
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: in a minute. No, never mind, that's Houston's a tough

509
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: matchup for the Bills.

510
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean going to going to New England wouldn't

511
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't be easy. I mean both of those games were

512
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: very close during the year as far like Allen will

513
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: have to earn it because I know, I know that

514
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: there's no Mahomes, no Lamar, no Burrow in it. But

515
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: going on the road to Jacksonville, it's a shame for

516
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: jack that those teams had to play each other, because

517
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: both those teams could went to Super Bowl, and the

518
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Jags got screwed. They win the division, they have to

519
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: play Buffalo Texans finished in second, get to play the Steelers,

520
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: but the Texans pass.

521
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: Jags would have rather played the Steelers. They probably would

522
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: have won by the same margin.

523
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the Jags you know, when the the Bills played

524
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons and lost the Texans, those pass rushers, they

525
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: they were able to get to Allen and give them

526
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: some issues. So maybe this Broncos pass rush can do

527
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: the same. Because it isn't a great matchup for the

528
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: Bills offense, They're not. Allen's numbers this year are significantly

529
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: worse against man coverage. Now last week he got to

530
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: face a zone heavy defense, and the reason for that

531
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: is it's not Josh Allen. It's that he doesn't have

532
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: receivers that can get any separation. So it's hard for

533
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: me to see their receivers getting and their receiving core

534
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: is decimated now. Like Curtis Samuel just got designated to

535
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: come back off IR, they're probably gonna need him. They

536
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: only had three as yesterday, only had three healthy receivers

537
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: on the roster. One of them is a guy who've

538
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: been healthy scratching. You know, Shakier has been good, but

539
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: McMillan's pretty good in the slot. And then you have

540
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Certain I'm curious see what they do with him. I mean,

541
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: you use him on, like Kincaid said, sometimes because there's

542
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: just they're gonna be able to man up, load the box,

543
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: bring the blitz, and it's gonna be hard for Alan

544
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: to have enough time because his receivers just aren't gonna

545
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: get any separation because the Broncos are going to play

546
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: a ton of man. They blitz and it's just gonna

547
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: be tough. So the Bills are gonna lean on the

548
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: ground game here. It's gonna keep the clock moving. I'm

549
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: curious to see if they like completely switch it up,

550
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: if they go three, if they go like two three

551
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: tight end sets and and try to attack the linebackers

552
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: and the safeties of Denver. So I'm super curious to

553
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: see how they what they do schematically. If you got

554
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: to remember Josh Allen's also dealing with some injuries. On

555
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: a short week, we'll see how banged up he is.

556
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna take hits against Denver. But the clock's gonna

557
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: be moving. I think they're gonna lean on the ground game,

558
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: especially early on, and then on the other side of

559
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: the ball, they could get at Oliver back as well.

560
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: He was just designated off. That would be big for

561
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: their defensive line. But McDermott usually does a good job

562
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: in game planning, scheming, disguising looks in these big, high

563
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: leverage games, they're gonna play a ton of too high.

564
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: They take away the explosive play. That's kind of what

565
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: bo Nicks does. It's but bo Nix will you know,

566
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: he's very inconsistent on a down the down basis. But

567
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: then we'll he'll hit the splash play every once in

568
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: a while. The Bills don't give that up. Play a

569
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: ton of too high against too high, Knicks doesn't really

570
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: take chances. He's the lowest yards per attempt in the league.

571
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna take those short passes. I also think Peyton

572
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: is gonna rely on his defense, which means he's gonna

573
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: heavy dose of run here. He knows that's where the

574
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: Bills are the weakest. He's usually smart about that. So

575
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: I think both teams are gonna be running a ton,

576
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: relying on field position. Clock will be running.

577
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: This is a great game. This is a great game.

578
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be good. So I bet the under the Bill.

579
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: I think the Bill's only goal is Knicks is gonna

580
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: use his legs here. The Bills struggle with can struggle

581
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: with mobile quarterbacks. I think the Bill's only goal is,

582
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, try to run the ball. Keep the game

583
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: close until the fourth quarter, and then you have Josh Allen.

584
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: They have bow knicks, and uh, you just want to

585
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: be in a position where Josh Allen needs to go

586
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: win the game, and more times than not, he's gonna

587
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: go do that. But I think this will be lower

588
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: scoring field position battle, especially early on.

589
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: One thing I was told and forty nine er players

590
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: have been saying, I mean it goes back to the

591
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. That what one of Kyle's strengths is during

592
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: the week when he does these game plans, he's so

593
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: good at dissecting the defense. When he tells, you get

594
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: to this spot, it'll be wide open. Run this play

595
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: at this time, it'll work. And he's kind of a

596
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: genius like that because he's really he has a great

597
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: mind on the defensive side of the ball. So when

598
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: you do something like Fangio. One thing I think they

599
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: felt after the game is like we kind of knew

600
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: where they were going to line up. Obviously they have

601
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: good players, but we weren't getting tricked by stuff. And

602
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: the thing that happened in that Seattle game a couple

603
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, you know, from just some some sources,

604
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: is and I think this is what makes Mike so

605
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: specially he's been doing it. You know, his whole career

606
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: is they dot they would get something, and guys would

607
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: be in completely different spots once the ball was snapped,

608
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: and his deciphering and disguising shit was all over the place.

609
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 2: But I'm not even talking about the D line whooping

610
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: the old line. I'm just talking about in coverage. Guys

611
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: are all over the map when the forty nine ers

612
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: have game planned against something else. So I mean, Perty's

613
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: going back there thinking X and he's getting why, and

614
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: it really threw them off ward. Against Fangio, they went

615
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: back to seeing X and they were getting X. He

616
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: they just had to execute it. So, you know, I

617
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: think they can prepare. You know, obviously they got screwed

618
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 2: a little bit by the timing. Right, ideally you'd play Sunday.

619
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: They've kind of got a couple of short weeks, but

620
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: like they don't really have like the prep's already done, right,

621
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: they just played him Sunday. The Seattle didn't play an

622
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: extra game, So really they can double down and like

623
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: what could we have done a little different and like

624
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: build off what we thought coming into that game and

625
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: make adjustment. It's kind of a unique spot for the

626
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: forty nine ers from a game plan perspective in a

627
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: shitty week, because they just probably had an incredible game

628
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: plan playing for the number one seed that didn't work,

629
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: and then they can kind of pivot off that where Seattle.

630
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's like you just you know you're gonna

631
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: get some different swings now from them that you just saw.

632
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: So I I think the forty nine ers to have

633
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: a chance in this game. And to me, the key

634
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: is someone asked me, it's like, well, the two guys

635
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: ran for one hundred and seventy yards and there was

636
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: a point in that Eagle game when it was thirteen

637
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 2: to seven Eagles, they had the ball and the time

638
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: possession was like eighteen to six. I was like, the

639
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: Niners are in trouble.

640
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Eagles just went on a nine minute touchdown.

641
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: If that takes place in Seattle, they will lose the

642
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: time possession thing again. So you just have to get

643
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: for some more punts and not just give them drives

644
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: even if they're not scoring points that just last seven

645
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: eight minutes, because then that puts so much pressure. If

646
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: you go three and out, it feels like a disastrous quarter.

647
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 2: So I do think Kyle, this is a game again.

648
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 2: It's like can you run a fake field goal or

649
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 2: fake punt? Like you're gonna have to do one of those.

650
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: You probably can't run the wide receiver pass again. But

651
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: I do think the forty nine ers are pretty live

652
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: dog in this spot. And let's face it, you know,

653
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: there is a ton of pressure on Sam in this

654
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: game to just like he played really well last week

655
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: or whenever they won thirteen to three. I know they

656
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: didn't score many points, but he was twenty twenty six.

657
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 2: He was efficient. He was just completely under control. If

658
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: he plays again like that and their defense plays, they'll win.

659
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: But like we've seen Sam in a couple of these

660
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 2: high leverage spots and it didn't go as well. Now,

661
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: did the forty nine ers have the defense to really,

662
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: you know, kind of put him on tilt? I don't know,

663
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 2: But to me, it starts with can you just neutralize

664
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: the run game? Because if you remove the first run

665
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: of the game or Saquon win, I think for like

666
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: thirty yards, he really had twenty five carries for like

667
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: seventy yards, Like you live with that all day. It

668
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: was just the over and over in that Saturday night

669
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: game of just the five seven five, It's like it

670
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: just kills you. So to me stop the run, It's like, Okay,

671
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: Sam throw for two hundred and fifty three hundred yards.

672
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this game now. My favorite part

673
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: about the playoffs is from a football fan perspective, is

674
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the coaching matchup. And to look at the NFC, I mean,

675
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: you have Ben Johnson versu mcaday, and you have Kyle

676
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: versus MacDonald.

677
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 2: And if we had a coaching draft, I mean, would

678
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: you say these four guys would go in the top six?

679
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, for sure?

680
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: After if you just if you just say, hey, age

681
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Let's say Andy goes one, would these get

682
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: Would these be the next four picks in some order?

683
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: Yeah?

684
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: I get Mike's a defensive guy, but I think he

685
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: still ain't falling far.

686
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me look at the If Kevin.

687
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: O'Connell would go high, Rabel would go in the top ten,

688
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: Demiko would be a sleeper defensive guy that would go high,

689
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: high level guy, all.

690
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: Four of them for anyone else, I think at the moment,

691
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: although I do think now he's still new to the job,

692
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: but I do think very, very highly of Liam Cohen.

693
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: So he but I mean it's only one years.

694
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: He'd go hid Sirianni go top twenty, you think, or.

695
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like what does what does

696
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: ser Like I struggle with how valuable is Sirianni? Like

697
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: what does he do? Right? Like he won a Super

698
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: Bowl and you have to give him credit for that,

699
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: but like he had, right, two really good coordinators. He

700
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: has one of the most talented rosters. Is the organization

701
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: is run very well. You have a great GM, so

702
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: much talent on that roster. What does he really do?

703
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be an offensive guy, so you don't

704
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: have the coordinator this year and the offense falls apart.

705
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: Like if you remove him from that team last year,

706
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: did they still win the Super Bowl? Maybe? I do

707
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: think he's pretty sharp with like some in game stuff

708
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: and understanding like game and time and clock management. But

709
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have him near the top. So but yeah,

710
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: these coaching matchups are awesome. So I kind of wanted

711
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: to when these two teams met in week eighteen. When

712
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: I was saw him on this game, I told you,

713
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: I like the under it was that opened at like fifty.

714
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: I was like, that's way too high for these teams,

715
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: and it came down to like forty seven and a

716
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: half I think, But now this total is that like

717
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: forty four and a half. I'm thinking I kind of

718
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: want to bet the over. I think it's come down

719
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: a bit too much. But this will all come down

720
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: to the battle between Shanahan and McDonald. And what I

721
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: mean by that is that if McDonald dominates. Because McDonald

722
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: came out he said, well, he has some other looks

723
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: that he has in his back pocket that he didn't

724
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 1: show in the Week eighteen game. So there you're gonna

725
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: get some other looks here. So can Shanahan anticip based

726
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: on what they saw in week eighteen that they weren't expecting,

727
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: what newde is McDonald have? What does Shanahan have to

728
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: kind of counteract that? And can the forty nine ers

729
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: hit some explosive plays and move the ball through the air. Right,

730
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Trent Williams this time around, but you're

731
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: not gonna have Kittle. You could have Ricky Pearsall, which

732
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: would be massive. Do you think he's gonna play.

733
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: I would not be confident.

734
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I figured, But he was these two deer.

735
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: Remember these two teams played in Week one and both

736
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: the times they played, the scores are super low scoring,

737
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: but there's been a bunch of scoring opportunities and where

738
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: no one scored.

739
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: Like Kittle missed the majority of that game.

740
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Kittle got hurt in that series and Party

741
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: threw for what three sixty I think.

742
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: And good, what's the what's the weather this week? There?

743
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be fine. Okay, so piersall had

744
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: but Pearsall had a big Dad. I think you had

745
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: four catches for one to ten in that game. But

746
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: if the forty nine ers, so, what you can cross

747
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: all here is the forty nine ers will not be

748
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. That's just gonna be a fact.

749
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: Number one. Seattle's run defense is historically good. They're the

750
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: best run defense in the NFL by a wide margin.

751
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: You can't run on them. No one can run on them.

752
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: It's almost impossible. Now you're gonna have to still do

753
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: it some. But they're not gonna success running ball, especially naw,

754
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: they don't Kittle, who's one of your keys to your

755
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: run game. But you'll have Williams this time around. Party

756
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: should have a bit more time, can he avoid the mistakes, right,

757
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: I think he has seven. I think he's made a

758
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: ton of mistakes whenever he's faced McDonald defense. Go back

759
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: to that Ravens Niners game that costs them then four picks. Yeah,

760
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: So can he avoid the mistakes? Like we get teeny

761
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: throw a pick, but that was tipped and then bounced

762
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: off McCaffrey's arms. But can he move the ball through

763
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: the air against this complex changing that's gonna come down

764
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: to Shanahan has dialed up where he has identified the

765
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: potential weaknesses are in that coverage, Like there was definitely

766
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: some certain areas of the field that he identified against

767
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: that Fangio defense that they took advantage of on the

768
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: left side, and it was a beautiful game plan. And

769
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you, they're gonna have to get aggressive

770
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: and then try some trick plays. And so if they're

771
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: able to do that and you know, score and put

772
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the board, then that puts pressure on Sam

773
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: Darnold to have to throw the ball and then he

774
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: could make mistakes. The problem is the fort As don't

775
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: get a ton of pressure. So I'm also curious to

776
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: see how to Sola play this. The Seahawks should should

777
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: have their left tackle back. They could get a Royal

778
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: back at tight end who kind of helps stretch defense

779
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: as a bunch. But the Seattle offense hasn't been great

780
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: for you know, a month and a half. Their offense

781
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: has been solved a bit. But this does Sala say,

782
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play. They played too high on sixty

783
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: seven percent of their snapskn Siquals played a ton of

784
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: quarters coverage. They we're just trying to take away the

785
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: explosive plays. They know their defense doesn't have a ton

786
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: of talent, so it's like prevent the explosive plays. Well,

787
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: we're just gonna stop you in the red zone, hope

788
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: you make a mistake and then you know, we just

789
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: don't want to give up those big plays. Does he

790
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: take that same approach or does he bring his safeties

791
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: more down and try to stop that run game because

792
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: Seattle was doing whatever it wanted on the ground that so,

793
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: but it all comes down to what that Kyle versus

794
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: McDonald chess match, Because if if Kyle's able to move

795
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: the ball and is able, you know, to identify some

796
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: of those weaknesses, then this is gonna be I think

797
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: this game of wover and there could be like twenty seven.

798
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: I could see being twenty seven to twenty. I could

799
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: see the forty nine's on the shot to pull off

800
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: the upset. But if Channan's, if they're not able to

801
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: move the ball and perty's under pressure, and I know

802
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to run the ball,

803
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: what McDonald will do is park it, and he's gonna

804
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: tell he's he knows. I don't. I My defense is

805
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: dominating this game. I'm not letting Donald lose it. And

806
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: then they're just gonna run it, and then they're gonna

807
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna have these long drives and then the over

808
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 1: is gonna have no chance, and they're just gonna say

809
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: look now.

810
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 2: And he's the most conservative coach, doesn't go for it

811
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: on fourth downs, kicksfield goals.

812
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: So this is all that's gonna dictate the side. If

813
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: the forty nine's had a chance, that's that chess match.

814
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: How's it gonna play? I don't know.

815
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm taking that. I'm taking the Niners seven points and

816
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: that's I mean, this game was what two and a half,

817
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. I think obviously we witnessed

818
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: that game. It was like Jesus Now, Trent didn't play pleasants,

819
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: getting you know, spun like a draidal a party. By

820
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: the end of the game, it felt like, God is

821
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: He's gonna die in this game. So that's it's part

822
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: of it. Uh. The forty nine ers when they're O

823
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: line does play bad. It does feel like they can

824
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: get physically overwhelmed. And this is one of the units

825
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: that God, they've they've been good. So to me, it's like,

826
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: can you just neutralize that front a little bit. They

827
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: always say party's gonna have to run around no matter

828
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: who they play, But like, if it's just if it

829
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,959
Speaker 2: looks like Aaron Rodgers against the Texas, yeah they're gonna

830
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 2: get killed, right, and the score might not even reflect

831
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: quote unquote killed. It could be like seventeen to seven

832
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 2: final score, but it'll just be like a bludgeoning, you know, Yeah, and.

833
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: You'll feel like they have no chance to win it.

834
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, Shanahan just has to draw. He has to

835
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: find a way like he did last week against a

836
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: team that doesn't give up exposed to plays like Seattle.

837
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: Find ways. It would be a big boost of pure

838
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: so could play and look healthy. But with Robinson Jennings.

839
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be a ton of designed stuff

840
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: for McCaffrey out of the backfield, and then Herdy just

841
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: has to avoid forcing throws. Now, it's a fine balance.

842
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: You want to you got to hit some exposures. You're

843
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: not going to run the ball, but the Seattle defense

844
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: will take it away and they'll score. So uh yeah,

845
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: early in this game will tell you because if the

846
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are struggling, this game is gonna die

847
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: because the Shawks are just gonna run it totally and

848
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: then punt it and rely on their day and field

849
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: goals and no to.

850
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 2: Shaheed too is a little bit of a curveball right

851
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: as a return many last week, Brian Robinson like barely

852
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: was making it to the twenty five like they were

853
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 2: kicking it to him. Sky Moore had won it. It did

854
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: not go well. I mean, part of it was like

855
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: they were starting like old school long NFL drives. They

856
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 2: didn't have any like oh, got to the forty you know.

857
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 2: I was like that that they're gonna need a little

858
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: bit more juice on especially if Jason let's say Myers

859
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 2: kicks like three field goals, like you're gonna get some

860
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: kickoff return opportunities. The Robinson thing, I don't know what

861
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 2: was going on, but he was going nowhere. He was

862
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 2: running the back of guys like bro, this is this

863
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: is a game that's gonna be decided by a couple

864
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 2: of yards here. This is not gonna work out. And

865
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: if Shaheed gives them some explosive plays and all of

866
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 2: a sudden they gotta drive from the fifty. It's shit

867
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: like that you're talking about that these games all come

868
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 2: down to small margins. That something I noticed big time,

869
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 2: Like this is not ideal here.

870
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jets somehow had a historically good special teams

871
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: this year. It's the only thing they did well. If

872
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: Folk is a kicker, really good return units, coverage units.

873
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: The Seahawks were right behind them. If you look at

874
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the overall metrics, there are special teams

875
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: that are very very good. I think the forty nine

876
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: ers were around league average, but that could be some

877
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: hidden edge for Seattle. But Kyle has to be aggressive here.

878
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the chess match like whenever you

879
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: doubt like Chanaan, Yeah in the playoffs, Yeah, so I

880
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: don't blame you for taking the points here.

881
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 2: Nine and four in the playoffs, and a lot of those.

882
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 2: This isn't like the Belichick you know, Brady Patriots. They

883
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: were underdogs and a lot of those wins. Right, Yeah,

884
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 2: So it's and pretty not like you know, coin flip games.

885
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: These were like over a field goal underdogs, you know,

886
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: at Dallas, at Green Bay, at Philly. I mean those

887
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: were games that most Niner fans like, yeah, I'm probably

888
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: not gonna win. You know. It's like that's and that's

889
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: what makes a great coach when people like, yeah, I'm

890
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 2: probably not gonna win, and then you get to the

891
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 2: point where it's like you just can't doubt the guy

892
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: because his team. So I don't know mentally what the

893
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: preparation going into the game, there's like a belief and

894
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: then you just got to make the game weird. So

895
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: it's just a great game. It really is. To me,

896
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 2: it's the best game of the weekend.

897
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't I can't wait for it. The other

898
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: thing is Donald struggles more against too high, which you assume.

899
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: So he ran a ton of That's usually what he

900
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: wants to do. Take away explosive, but then you'll leave

901
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: yourself vulnerable to the run game. So that you obviously

902
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: don't just run nothing. But to Islo, classic Can was

903
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: sixty six percent, but I'm curious to see that percentage.

904
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: But if the forty nine is able to score, you

905
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: make Donald have to throw and be more aggressive, and

906
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: then in those zones he's more likely to make a mistake,

907
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: and that's where you can really win this game. So

908
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: you'll know early on in this game how it's gonna go.

909
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm not overthinking the same time, I'm taking the Texans. Obviously,

910
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: CJ makes you a little nervous. I was looking at

911
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: all the games they played and I was like, if

912
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 2: you remove the Chargers, who's the best defense that the

913
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: Patriots had played? I mean they got the Browns in

914
00:47:59,320 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: New England.

915
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brown's the stand away from home.

916
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 2: No, so it's like not really anybody. And that game

917
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 2: was weird last week. If Herbert hadn't played, I mean,

918
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: that's as bad as it gets. It was nine to

919
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 2: three going to the fourth quarter, and your quarterback, fifty

920
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: million dollar guy that a lot of people like myself defend,

921
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: it's just playing a game like he's fucking Deshaun Kaiser

922
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: or something. You're like, what is going on here? And

923
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: it was still nine to three. Vrabel has done an

924
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: incredible job. The future is bright. They're gonna have aj

925
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: Brown on the team next year. Probably they'll be fine,

926
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 2: and they're gonna be legit sua well contender and yours.

927
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they are right now. And

928
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 2: Drake Drake was really good in the second half. And

929
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: obviously the home field advantage New England is the fans

930
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: show they're up, they're used to winning. Play's gonna be rocking.

931
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 2: But that that Houston defense, I mean, if the Neil

932
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 2: Hunter is gonna look like Lawrence Taylor, and you also

933
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: have Will Anderson and the team speed they have in

934
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 2: the secondary, Petrie probably one of the more fun players

935
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 2: in the league. Throwback to a guy like we grew

936
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 2: up on. There are a bunch of guys like that

937
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 2: in the league that would just could do it all

938
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 2: and be fucking knock the shit out of you. Who

939
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: fungus kind of like that too, but Petrie feels like

940
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 2: a little bit more dynamic in the open field. This again, though,

941
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: I mean if their quarterback against the Patriots has four

942
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: fumbles and a half, loses a couple and throws a

943
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 2: pick that it's just hits a guy in the numbers, Yeah,

944
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: they'll lose. And to me, Demko is sitting them down.

945
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: Like CJ. You the number two pick in the draft

946
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: to come from Ohio State, you were a star player.

947
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 2: We need you to play like trend Deil for a

948
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: Brad johnsonbody like, let's let's calm it down a little bit.

949
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: It's on the offensive coordinator to Miko, just we don't

950
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 2: need you to play hero ball because our defense is

951
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: poised to just carry us. And if you're gonna run

952
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: the ball like that, it's like CJ. No turnovers. He

953
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 2: I feel like he plays like a guy trying to

954
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: prove he's a star. It's like, bro, they don't need

955
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: this right now. Perty got fifty million dollars a year

956
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: by just just do what the court coach tells you

957
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: to do. Also, it wasn't his fault when you run

958
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 2: a flee If I say, hey, a team runs a

959
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: flea flicker, don't you usually think about that like later

960
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 2: in the game after you establish the run. Isn't that

961
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 2: part of the play. Yes, you don't run in the

962
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: first quarter.

963
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: No, that was bizarre. I had no idea on this game,

964
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: to be honest, I part of it is I struggled

965
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: to what to make of the pass because of their schedule.

966
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: They had the easiest schedule of any team over the

967
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: past thirty years. Now they finally so. They played no

968
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 1: defenses with a pulse until the Chargers, the first top

969
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 1: ten defense they played. Texans are another level and their

970
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 1: offense struggled like may fumbled it a couple times, throw

971
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: a pick. It wasn't the same smooth operation as you

972
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: would expect as when they stepped up in class. The

973
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: same to be set of their defense, which hasn't They

974
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: played like the only offense with a pole. Like the

975
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced over the course of the season, it

976
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: was rookies, backups, guys who were benched in like eleven

977
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: of the of their womins. They faced Allen twice, they

978
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: split right and they got torched in the second game.

979
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: They didn't really face any other good quarterbacks. Then they

980
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: faced Herbert, and Herbert is a top ten back, many

981
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: have him the top five, and they shut him down. Now,

982
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: was that the Chargers offensive line and Herbert? But that

983
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: could look the same here. The Texans offensive line isn't great,

984
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: their running game isn't great, and you know Stroud could

985
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: struggle in the pocket. You could have a similar game

986
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: plan here, you know, blitz heavy. Stroud struggles against the blitz,

987
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: and this Texans offense could look broken as it does

988
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: at times. You got to remember, I mean remember the

989
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: Steelers defense has been pretty bad all year. But I

990
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: just don't know enough about it because I also saw

991
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: Herbert missing throws and missing guys that were over.

992
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: Guys were open, he's over, He's airmailing them by like

993
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: ten feet.

994
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: Wasn't even close. So even that game is hard for

995
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: me to really measure what this Pats is. Now, they

996
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: do a good job of these guys and coverages and

997
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: changing things. Now, Christian Gonzalez, they don't have depth at corner.

998
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: If he's out with concussion, and then you also have

999
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: the Nico Collins thing, I think it would hurt the

1000
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: Pats more if Gonzalez is out. I think there's a

1001
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: more higher chance that Collins is out short week. It

1002
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: looked bad, but when he was out earlier this year,

1003
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: they developed some depth at wide receiver. But this basically

1004
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: just comes down to how dominant can the Texans defense be,

1005
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: Like they have the defense that can carry them to

1006
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Imagine if we get Houston Seattle Super

1007
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Bowl what that total would be. So but they have

1008
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: the defense that can carry them to a super Bowl.

1009
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 1: How many plays can they make? I mean, had two

1010
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns last week? Margins are thin. This totals forty one.

1011
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: This line's trending to three and a half at that point,

1012
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at Houston. I just

1013
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: don't have a great feel on this Pats team just

1014
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: because of the lack of data points against strong competition,

1015
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: and it just might be a struggle for this Houston

1016
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: offense because the Pats can employ that same game plan

1017
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: as last week, and you know, having Nego Collins will

1018
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: not having Nico Collins would would definitely hurt their their

1019
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. But this will just come down to how

1020
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: good I can't wait to watch another great chestments is Drake.

1021
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: May you know number one in e paper drop back

1022
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: versus this Houston pass defense, which is historically good. Number

1023
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: one ePaper drop back allowed how much pressure because the

1024
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: pressure could just be overwhelming on that end as well.

1025
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: You saw the Chargers. The Chargers are not an elite

1026
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: defense in terms of getting pressure, and they were in

1027
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: the backfield all day I think they had five or

1028
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 1: six stacks always looked like an All Pro, and their

1029
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: rookie tackle Will Campbell looked.

1030
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: Rough shove him back a lot.

1031
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: You know, this is another step up in class the

1032
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: Texans pass rush, So how may handles that will be

1033
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: interesting to see. But yeah, if you want to take

1034
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: the points here with you know that defense in which

1035
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: should be a lower scoring affair, I will. I won't

1036
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: talk you off, bit I just don't have a strong feel.

1037
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 2: My logic on the Bears is simple. They could be

1038
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 2: down twenty in the second half and you look up

1039
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 2: an hour later in the games in overtime. So I'm

1040
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 2: just taking them in the points. I mean, it just

1041
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 2: it feels like the football gods are just hanging out

1042
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: in their locker room this year. I mean, they score

1043
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 2: twenty five points in the fourth quarter, they're down twenty

1044
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: one to three and a half, and then they come

1045
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 2: back and win the game outright. I mean, it's just

1046
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: that stadium, it's just a lover of atmospheres. Looks incredible

1047
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: on television. I mean, that place is rocking. It just

1048
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 2: feels a little more potent than like what we saw

1049
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 2: with the Commanders. I think they're a little bit better,

1050
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 2: but defensively, same type thing. They're just not very good.

1051
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 2: They can't cover a soul, which you would think in

1052
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: theory is not good against Puka. Nakua's probably the best

1053
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 2: receiver in the league so far this year, and Davante's back.

1054
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 2: The tight ends can all catch. I mean, their running

1055
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 2: backs are good, but stafford Man just has these weird stretches.

1056
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cold. I'm just taking the Bears in

1057
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: the points. Don't feel right about it, but how can

1058
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 2: you go against them right now? With the way that

1059
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: everything keeps shaking out every single game.

1060
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: It's it's insane. I what I played here, this total

1061
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: came down a bit. It's hard for me to see

1062
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: either one of these defenses getting stops. I played some

1063
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: rams over twenty six and a half points, so over

1064
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: twenty six and a half their team total. This is

1065
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: a team versus if you remove the nine, if you

1066
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: remove the top five defenses from their schedule, so Seattle,

1067
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: Houston and Philly, I mean, then they scored twenty six

1068
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: versus Philly and we missed two field goals. They averaged

1069
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 1: thirty two and a half points per game. They got

1070
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: the twenty seven and eleven of the fourteen and a

1071
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: couple of them they just didn't have to and one

1072
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: of them against Seattle, they put up thirty eight and.

1073
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 2: They led the league in scoring anyway, right with the factory,

1074
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: and so I.

1075
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: Think they get the twenty seven plus. I mean, this

1076
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: is a Bears defense that's you know, twenty eighth PVOA,

1077
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: twenty six, success rate, thirtieth and epa. If you remove turnovers,

1078
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: their turnover luck is extreme. It's not gonna last forever.

1079
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: They're twenty third points allowed despite leading the lead league

1080
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: in turnover margin. Additionally, you know you have there is

1081
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: some concern with the Stafford finger and then the in

1082
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: the cold, the Adams handstring. In the cold, you're gonna

1083
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 1: see a lot of stats of Stafford has struggled historically

1084
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: in the cold, like his win loss recer. But a

1085
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: lot of those games were when he was with a

1086
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: bad Lions team. Remember last year he almost beat the

1087
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion in Philly in the snow, and he

1088
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: looked great. I don't it's hard for him.

1089
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 2: Because he had the Ravens game a couple of years ago,

1090
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: remember when he was unreal. I mean, it's like one

1091
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 2: of the best games I've ever seen. Definitely the last

1092
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 2: like five years is as good of a game as

1093
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 2: you're gonna see. I know he didn't the end it

1094
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 2: on a pick, but he was fantastic in that game.

1095
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have won that game. So I think

1096
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. This Bears defense, they don't get pressure.

1097
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: They're now missing t. J. Edwards as well at linebacker.

1098
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: Their depth of linebackers really shaky. They really just can't

1099
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: get any Their rundy is really really bad. One of

1100
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: my favorite props. I like some Korm props, but Korm

1101
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: over eleven and a half longest rush he's I mean,

1102
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: he's had I think twenty three rushes of ten plus yards,

1103
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: one carry at least twelve yards, and ten of the

1104
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: seventeen games that he's played, if you're a movie opener,

1105
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: only had one carry and that's despite not getting an

1106
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: increased workload until like Week seven. But Kevin Dotson I

1107
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: think is going to be back. That's huge. He's one

1108
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: of the best run blocking offensive linemen in the NFL.

1109
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: They missed him down the stretch. That'll help their run game,

1110
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: and the Bears give up tons of run explosives. One

1111
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: of the worst defenses in the league at giving up

1112
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: big runs. So yeah, I think that they'll I like

1113
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: that Korm. I think the Bears allowed a run of

1114
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: twelve plus and fifteen of the eighteen games to non quarterbacks.

1115
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: Multiple backs in the same game got a run of

1116
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: twelve plus yards in seven of their eighteen games, and

1117
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: like the teams that didn't were like the Browns. Even

1118
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: though Shador standers said a twenty yard run, they just

1119
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,479
Speaker 1: I mean Gino Smith had a twenty yard run against them.

1120
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: So I think Korm can have a big day here.

1121
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: I like his longest rush over eleven and a half.

1122
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: I like the Rams to score, but you're right, I

1123
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: could the Bears match them is there's some Bears magic

1124
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: and you have these two offensive gurus going up against

1125
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: vulnerable defenses. I think it's gonna be a ton of

1126
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: explosive plays, which is good for an over so I

1127
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: don't I think this total has come down a bit

1128
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: too much. Now. I get it's gonna be like freezing cold.

1129
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: Both teams could rely on the run a bit more,

1130
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: but not enough people are talking about the Rams defense

1131
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: has dropped off significantly over the first twelve weeks of

1132
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: the year. They were number one in EPA per play,

1133
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: But I kept saying, like, I think this defense is

1134
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: a bit overrated, because I don't believe we were saying this.

1135
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: We don't believe, really believe in their secondary, which is

1136
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: the weak point. They were number one of the EPA

1137
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: play But you gotta remember they played the Bucks, and

1138
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks offense was bad from Week seven off if

1139
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: Baker got hurt, right and that game was just a joke.

1140
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: They played the Ravens when it was Cooper Rush. They

1141
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: played Stroud when like two of his offensive in Week

1142
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: one and two of his offensive linemen got ruled out

1143
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: right before the game, they had to shuffle everyone around.

1144
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: They played cam Warden, the second start Spencer Rattler, so

1145
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: like the first you know, half of the season, they

1146
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: benefited from a lot of opposing quarterback and offensive line situations.

1147
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: And then over the final seven games. Over the last

1148
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: seven games, including last week in the Wildcard, they're twentieth

1149
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: in EPA per play. And they faced the Panthers twice

1150
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals twice, so it's not like they were

1151
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: facing nothing, but these elite offensive teams, they're giving up

1152
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: a ton of explosive plays. The secondary is vulnerable. The

1153
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: Bears can hit those, So yeah, I think the Rams

1154
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want here, Like they can run

1155
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: the ball, they could go heavy personnel. The Bears struggle

1156
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: in that aspect as well, but Caleb Williams keeps improving

1157
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: this Ben Johnson offense. I think he's gonna be aggressive

1158
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: as well in like fourth downs. I think the Bacon

1159
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: hit explosives keep the pressure on Los Angeles. So yeah,

1160
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: don't don't doubt the Bears every one. I always sweet

1161
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Every Bears game is the same, but I did play

1162
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: some Rams team total over some and then some corn

1163
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: props should be a go on though again between two

1164
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: awesome offensive mines.

1165
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: Well, I won't talk to you until after the National

1166
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 2: Championship game. It feels like there are like two plays.

1167
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Indiana blows out basically everybody except Ohio State. So it's

1168
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 2: like just take down and the points eight and a

1169
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 2: half and they'd win by fifteen twenty points. Or it's

1170
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 2: like take Miami money line, like cause if the game's closed,

1171
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 2: like Miami would have a chance to win, right, But

1172
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 2: it's like, do I trust Mario's team with a bunch

1173
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: of penalties? I guess the players just take Indiana in

1174
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 2: this spot though, It's like, is it just gonna turn

1175
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:25,959
Speaker 2: out to be? They played in the playoffs and blew

1176
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 2: everyone out after playing that close game against Olio State.

1177
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a tough game. I mean, I make it.

1178
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: I make this spread down. I'm just I've been aggressively

1179
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: up upgrading Indiana. I make this spread ten on a

1180
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: neutral But I'm struggling to determine what do I make

1181
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: the home field advantage here? So, like I don't think

1182
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: it's a full home field advantage, so I don't know.

1183
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm using like a point and a half, so like

1184
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I make it like eight and a half, which is

1185
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: where it is. But I don't know how like what

1186
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: the home field should be here, Like they are playing

1187
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: at home, but I imagine, like this is Indiana's all in year.

1188
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: They have the largest alumni base of any school in

1189
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: the country, so this crowd is going to be I

1190
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: don't know, split, So Miami's technically the road team, which

1191
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: was funny. So I don't really know what make home

1192
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: field but this this just could be a scenario. Every

1193
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: once in a while in college football, you have a

1194
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: team where the market never catches up to twenty nineteen LSU.

1195
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: Every week you were talking about the sharps are you

1196
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: would have sharps. The sharp's even bet against LSU and

1197
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: the championship against Clemson, there was a lot of sharp

1198
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: money against LSU again, and all this team would do

1199
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: was cover, cover, cover. I lost a lot of money

1200
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: betting against.

1201
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 2: F ther I don't even remember. They blew Clemson out

1202
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: in that game.

1203
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Blew them out. Yeah, they were blowing every They blew

1204
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: everybody out, even though their defense was bad, and that's

1205
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: what a lot of people are seeing. But their offense

1206
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: was just so good it didn't matter.

1207
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: It turns out they had Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson and

1208
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, like, yeah, pretty good combo.

1209
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Pretty decent. So but yeah, the market just could never

1210
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: catch up to how good they were. And that just

1211
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: might be the case for Indiana. That's my my fear

1212
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: for I don't think Miami's gonna be able to like

1213
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: they might be to run the ball a little bit.

1214
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: I played the under here. I played on some under

1215
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 1: forty and a half under forty eight I did. Both

1216
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: these teams are very slow. I do have a lot

1217
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: of respect for the Miami defense. I do think that

1218
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: they'll be able to get some pressure. That that right

1219
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: side of the Indiana offensive line is a bit vulnerable.

1220
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: The Miami defense is real, and then the Indiana defense,

1221
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: they're so buttoned up it's very hard to consistently run

1222
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: against them. Carson Beck has not been great in the playoff.

1223
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Why he doesn't gonna do much, It's really on the defense.

1224
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: But I think this will be more of a rock

1225
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: fight type of game, lower scoring, there's no reason. There's

1226
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: no need for Indiana to run it up at the

1227
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: end like to show off, which sometimes comes into play

1228
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: in their games. But I think I think this will

1229
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: be more of a defensive game, field position game. The temph,

1230
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: the pace will be very slow. Miami's going to play

1231
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: how Miami does. They're going to want to just run, run,

1232
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: control the clock, play field position, rely on that defense.

1233
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: But I think Indiana will get Beck into just too

1234
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: many known passing downs and then their pressure packages. Miami

1235
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: is a really good offensive line that's a great battle watch,

1236
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: but their pressure and blitz packages are incredible, and Beck

1237
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: is not good under pressure. So I think it's going

1238
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: to be a struggle for the Miami offense. So I

1239
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: did play the under I think I'm spot on with

1240
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: the number. I couldn't talk anyone out. I've heard good

1241
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: cases for Miami and good cases for Indiana. It just

1242
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: comes down to how historically dominant this Indiana team is.

1243
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: But my biggest fear is what you brought up. Indiana

1244
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: is so buttoned up that they're just execution monsters. Yeah,

1245
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: and I mean on third down. Their third down offense

1246
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: is historically good fifty five percent. That's a range you

1247
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: rarely see, like five or six teams over the past

1248
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: ten years. Their giveaway, they never turned the ball over,

1249
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: they never get penalized. And this is a Miami team

1250
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: that's undisciplined, right outside the top one hundred penalties back

1251
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: at times can put the ball on Harm's way.

1252
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 2: So that well, their whole thing is like violent or crazy,

1253
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 2: we're tough, where Signette's like, we're like the Navy Seals

1254
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 2: were dialed. We execute, we don't fuck around. He doesn't

1255
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: he doesn't use violent like Mario's uses violence every time

1256
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 2: he talks. Signetti's much more like execution like Nick right,

1257
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 2: And then the violence is just part of that the

1258
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 2: way they play, but they the coaches talk dramatically different

1259
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 2: like Mario looks like he wants to get in at

1260
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 2: this fight, where Signetti looks like he wants to get

1261
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 2: into a chess match.

1262
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Yep. So now it's very well put so that might

1263
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: end up being the difference.

1264
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: But in fairness, Mario does have a Island team too,

1265
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 2: so it's like they can physically hang like they're not

1266
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 2: going to be shoved around. They're like Ohio State, right

1267
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 2: where physically they're not going to be intimidated by and

1268
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 2: get shoved around by Indiana like Bam and Oregon did.

1269
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this game is gonna play out more

1270
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: like Ohia. It's gonna play out similar to Ohio State Indiana.

1271
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Then Miami would have a chance if they don't have

1272
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: like ten penalties right.

1273
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Yes, or Beck doesn't turn it over, like they have

1274
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: to play clean to win this game, which you can't have,

1275
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and eight penalty yards and you

1276
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: can't turn the ball over. So I think they're going

1277
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: to be cautious as long as like this game is

1278
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: close playfield position, I think both defenses will give each

1279
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: opposing offense some issues. Now, Indiana seems they seemingly never

1280
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: drop a contested catch. I mean Sarad is incredible. This

1281
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: Becker kid has really come on as a fantask threat,

1282
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:56,919
Speaker 1: which is added another layer to their offense. But yeah,

1283
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: I played some under. I played some Mendoza under rushing

1284
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: yards like eighteen and a half. The you'll try to

1285
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: scramble some, but I mean the Miami defense has allowed

1286
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: They played fourteen games against FBS opponents. Opposing quarterbacks have

1287
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: ran it one hundred and twenty seven times for fourteen yards,

1288
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: so that obviously includes sacks. But they've given up fourteen

1289
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: total rushing yards. And they played you know, Watson and Drones.

1290
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: At Votec. They played Byron Brown, who had a thousand

1291
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: yards rushing for USF. They played the Syracuse guys who

1292
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: could run. They played Costianos of Florida State. They played Chamblis.

1293
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean Chamblas had seven yards rushing. They played a

1294
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: ton of Marcel Reid, so they played a ton of

1295
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks. They give up fourteen yards. That includes a

1296
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: ton of sacks. Now Mendoza had but he averaged like

1297
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: eight do you average like eighteen and a half per game,

1298
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: which is where this line is set. But he was

1299
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: only sacked like one plus one point four times, per game.

1300
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I think that could go up to like three or

1301
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: four and you could get some major negative sack yard.

1302
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean he went up against Wisconsin, he had six

1303
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 1: rushes for negative twenty four yards. He was sacked five times.

1304
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Against Ohio State, he was sacked three times, ended with

1305
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: negative three rushing yards. So yeah, I played some under

1306
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: rushing yards there surat anytime touchdown if you're looking for

1307
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: like a part of any time, probably pace. But that's

1308
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: around even money. He got scores everything every week. I

1309
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: think he scored like ten weeks in a row. Hit

1310
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 1: that back shoulder. It's like a cheat code. But yeah,

1311
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm struggling what to do with home field. So but

1312
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,679
Speaker 1: I think I'm close to the line. I won't bet Miami.

1313
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: They're like, I wouldn't even bet Miami if it's ten.

1314
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: I would need more than ten because I've just seen

1315
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: I've seen Indiana and they just feel to me like

1316
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: a team that you don't want to get in front of.

1317
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: So even if Miami went, I won't have any regret

1318
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: if Miami covers or were wins that I didn't fade Indiana.

1319
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,879
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you made me better, I bet Indiana.

1320
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: But I do like the under I like it.

1321
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna take Indiana. Okay, sucky. I got

1322
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 2: my wife screaming. I mean I got to help get

1323
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 2: ready for this, uh, this endeavor we're about to take

1324
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 2: off on. So I'll be joining you soon into the

1325
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,920
