1
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites. I am Jeff Schwortz. This is

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: our Monday par lay show. Is useful. I am joined

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: by Paul Laduka and Fillion. For Chad Millman is black

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Jack Fletcher, who was on his deathbed nearly but he

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: made it out to talk to us today. How you doing,

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: fellas good? All he knows. Ever since black Jack has

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: been on his deathbed, he's been hid as a pistol.

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's why you got a fever, black Jack. Maybe maybe,

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: But I'll take it if that's the reason. But he

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: is here, PAULI, and that's all that matters. All right, guys,

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: this show's gonna be a little different than our normal

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Monday parlay show. College football is almost over. We have

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: a game tonight Alabama Clemson National Championship game in Santa Clair.

14
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: We will discuss that as well as the four divisional

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: round matchups in the NFL playoffs this weekend. We're not

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: going to do a nine team parlay. There's not really

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: nine plays to make us early in the week. Obviously

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: other sports you don't have lines for the rest of

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: the week, So we'll talk about just the four games

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: coming up this weekend as well as the game tonight.

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: But first, it was a amazing weekend of wild card football.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Three games come down to the last possession, obviously ending

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: last night with the double doink in Chicago as they

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: kick bounced off the upright and then the crossbar and

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: ended up going out for the Eagles to win. Underdogs

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: four and oh against the spread unders three and one

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: this weekend. I believe now fourteen and one underdogs are

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: against the spread the last fifteen playoff games. Uh, PAULI,

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: what was your biggest takeaway from this weekend? Yeah, well,

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: obviously Saturday was in big surprise the way that the

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Colts and I mean the Cowboys are I think we're

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise. Day just absolutely dominated Seattle, and the

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: conservative play calling kept Seattle in the game, and so

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: did Russell Wilson and the Boys. But I didn't really

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: think Indianapolis would go in there and smack I mean,

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I said this with Bill Brian, the conservative

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: play calling that he has it, but I didn't think

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: both of those teams would go and smack both of

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: those teams around. Now, the two games yesterday, I mean

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: the flags that were thrown and the wackiness of the

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: plays and the missed field goals. Those two games yesterday

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: were very entertaining and in the charges obviously they dominated

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens obviously to the end of that game and

44
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: they started scrambling a little bit. But um, yeah, it

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: was very interesting. Saturday was more surprising to me. Sunday.

46
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: I really didn't feel that those teams would just not

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: beat them. They smacked them both those teams in the

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: mouth check listen as hard as the surprise those I mean,

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Paulie hit it on the head. The way the Colt

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: just dominated the Texas surprised me. But I think my

51
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway Jeff is uh, I'm not ready to stand

52
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: in front of this Eagles team right now. There's something

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: going on there brother, with Nick Foles back, and I

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: am not willing to get in front of that train. Well,

55
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: we will talk plenty of about this game. The line

56
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: is absolutely outrageous in my opinion, for the game this weekend,

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: especially with the way with the way Folds is playing. Um,

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts for me. Let's talk about Folds

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: really quick. So I can't explain really what's happening, but

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I give you the best idea that I have and

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of piecing together what I've heard from people in

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Philly and whatnot. Is, Look, we know Carson Wentz is

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: more physically gifted than Nick Foles. That that's not a question.

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: I think. Because of that, and he's a young quarterback,

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: he tries to do too much within this offense. He

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: holds the ball too long, he looks for the home run.

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Nick Foles just does what the play calls for it. Right,

68
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: If if Doug Peterson says we're calling all goes special

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: and it's too high, you throw this guy, he just

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: throws that guy. He'll take the five yard route, the

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: seven yard route, the check down. Yeah, he'll throw the

72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: ball deep. Fun guys start the way, you know. But

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: once I think that time is trying to do too much,

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Foals doesn't. And they believe him. He's won seven rate

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: must win games now in in in in in the

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: last two years. He won the three games in the playoffs,

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: last year, the three games in the regular season, and

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: this year and he won this game yesterday. Now, look

79
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: they got lucky, right this kick, I mean, mr kick

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: to lose. But like that's what I think is happening,

81
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: and it's so remarkable But to me, the biggest takeaway

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: from this weekend is something that Bill Coward said on

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: the CBS Morning Show. I think it's it's fabulous. He said,

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: your strings get you into the playoffs, and your weaknesses

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: gets you out. Ravens offense I called this from the beginning.

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Their offense is a fugazzi. It's fake. The Chargers exposed them. Uh.

87
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: If you look at the Bears kicking game all year

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: right eleven Mrs Ben atrocious party having had eight of

89
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: eleven misses. Uh, and their look and they're kind of

90
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: conservativeness on offense, a little bit constant, only six points offensively.

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: And in the Seahawks and Cowboys, the Seahawks designed a

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: game plan for Blake Bordles, not Russell Wilson, so the

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: considered play call and got them in the end. That's

94
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: what the weekend felt like to me. If you look

95
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: at guys, if you look at the four teams advancing

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: um also with you, PAULI, which one scares you the most?

97
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Heading of divisional weekend? Well, I'm a black jack. It's Philadelphia.

98
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: And in my take on Nick Foles is here's a

99
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: guy that was almost we're going to retire without football,

100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: his love for football was sort of gone. And and

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: that's why I think the steel balls, that's where it

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: comes from. That's what makes him who he is. I

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: just think that at one point that in his life

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: he thought football was like, you know what, I'm okay

105
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: without it. I can live without it, even though I

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: could be a pretty good NFL quarterback. And after the

107
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: Philly Special, how could you ever be nervous when it

108
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: was fourth down? He was just looking at Peterson like like, okay,

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: give me the play before they called the time out,

110
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, like let's go. I'm ready to go. He

111
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: has no worry. Um, So, yeah, they do worry me now.

112
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: I know they're going into an impossible place. But this

113
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: guy has got some magic that some more Joe. And

114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: he throws a ball that is so featherly touchily like

115
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: it seems like any human walking down the street can

116
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: catch Nick Foles his football, you know what I mean.

117
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: And it's just something about him. He's right, there's something

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: going on. And uh, they worry me a little bit.

119
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. The Cowboys keep surprising me.

120
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: They really do. And and that offensive line is starting

121
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: to gel and gel even more and more like they

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: were a couple of years ago, and they're getting scary

123
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. The Eagles. You your team that you'd

124
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: worry the most about. No, they're not as much as

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: I like the Eagles and what they're doing. I think

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: the the clear answer here is the l A Chargers,

127
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: and I say that because they have a matchup in

128
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: New England that is suited perfectly for what they do.

129
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: The Ravens were a tough matchup for the Chargers right

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: because that defense is built on getting pressure on the

131
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and that's tough to do with Lamar Jack him

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: with the way he moves around. With Tom Brady, tom

133
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: Brady is not moving around very much. He doesn't have

134
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: those deep threats, which is the one spot in their

135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: defense where they are vulnerable. Without Josh Gordon there Gronkowski.

136
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Gronkowski looks like an old man on the field these days.

137
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: He looks like he's lumbering down the field. I think

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: that Chargers defense is suited perfectly for the New England Patriots.

139
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I think this is a horrible matchup for New England.

140
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers are in a prime spot here

141
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: to advance. Well, we'll get to that games I I disagree,

142
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: but we we can. I'll tell you why I disagreed,

143
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that later. Would be great, But

144
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: to me, it's a coult. We forgot the Colts. By

145
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: the way, Look, here's the with the Colts. Since they're

146
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: one in five start, number one scoring defense in the NFL, obviously,

147
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: the best record, number one point differential, and the fewest

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: sacks allowed in National football that's the recipe for winning

149
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You have to play offense. Right, We've seen

150
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: now that the top five offenses and dv o A

151
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: are still in there's only two top five defenses. Like,

152
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: you gonna play some offense, you gonna play some defense too.

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: The Colts can do everything, and they're they're the way.

154
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: At a schedule, they go into into Kansas City and

155
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: I look, obviously we know my by the place with

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Man, this is a terrible matchup of the

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs because the Colts can play defense, and if they

158
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: hold the Chiefs to twenty eight points let's say, which

159
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: is still a lot of points in National Football League,

160
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna score thirty five. I don't know how they

161
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: how they stop how the Chiefs stopped the Colt. So

162
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: to me, it's the Colts, and look, we can end

163
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: up with a five and a six playing and you

164
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: know for the NFC Championship and the Chargers and the Colts,

165
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: and I think that's that's somewhat realistic. I don't think

166
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: that's that's crazy. The thing now, both are fairly big underdogs,

167
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: especially the Colts the weekend. Before we get to all

168
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: of that, before we get to the pro games, let's

169
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: talk about the game tonight Alabama Clemson. I like Clemson.

170
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: I got him at plus six. I think it's a

171
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: five and a half. Now I like to over to

172
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: not not as much as I like Clemson plus six.

173
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a backdoor cover type of game. I

174
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: think that Clemson know when this game is gonna have

175
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to play it really up tempo, like they did when

176
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: they beat one. I just the gap, in my opinion

177
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: and talent is not big enough to warrant the six spread.

178
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Uh Blotic, I'll start with you here, how do you

179
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: think this game goes? I'll go one step further, Jeff,

180
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't think there is a gap in talent between

181
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: these two teams. I'm taking Clemson on the money line here.

182
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: I like them to win this football game. I think

183
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: we've seen Alabama in situations this year be pushed a

184
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: little bit, especially against Georgia in the second half against Oklahoma.

185
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Clemson is not scared of this team, Jeff, There's no

186
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: intimidation when Clemson goes on the field against Alabama. They've

187
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: played them before, they've beaten them before. Clemson, with Trevor

188
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: Lawrence out there, healthy, has just as as good a

189
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: weapons offensively as Alabama does. They've got great experience on

190
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: that team. Their line play is solid, They're stout on

191
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: both lines. I like Clemson at plus one right now.

192
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a shot at Clemson to win this thing.

193
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: I think we're all on the same side here with Clemson.

194
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't realize they are um.

195
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: If you look at their rating, they're better rated on

196
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: offense and defense combined. In Alabama is so um And

197
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: the a c C has done okay um um in

198
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: the bowl games, and and so is the SEC. Listen,

199
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: like like your black Jack said, they've played each other.

200
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: They know this. This is the same thing. Like this,

201
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: this is gonna be obviously unbelievable rivalry. Dabo Sweeney Um

202
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: and Nick Saban just have a knack to have their

203
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: guys ready. I love the way the Clemson defense played. Um.

204
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people are gonna say they played a

205
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: duck um. But if I've and a half points, is

206
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: still a lot of points in the National Championship game

207
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: with the team, well, like I like, you know, black Jackson,

208
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: I can win the game out right, And we've seen

209
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: you know, Alabama finally, you know, a little bit here

210
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: and there and getting a little scared. Finally that everybody

211
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: thought they were so invincible at the beginning of this year.

212
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: I say not at the beginning, like four weeks ago,

213
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: everybody had Okay, let's say if Clemston goes, this line

214
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be seven and a half, eight nine, somewhere

215
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: in that area. It's all it's down all the way

216
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: to five and a half. And all the money, well

217
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: not all the money, that's six of the money is

218
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: on Alabama in this game open at seven, So sharp money,

219
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: if you want to go that way, has been on Clemson. Yeah. Look,

220
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: I think that there's if you were to if I know,

221
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: we've been kind of comes in heavy here. If you

222
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: want to back Alabama, there's many reasons to do so. Okay,

223
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: their offense along as fabulous left tackle is gonna be

224
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: drafted as the first tackle. Their center starting his fourth

225
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: straight NAS championship game. The right tackle might be the

226
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: best run blocker's it's outrageous, right, so crazy? Uh, they're

227
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: they're They're right tackle might be the best run blocker.

228
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: We know. Clemson secondary in the back end is their weakness.

229
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: They have a great defense, But if you're to point

230
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: out a weakness, guess their secondary. If their offense line

231
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: can block long enough, I think Alabama scored. I think

232
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: the overs is a good play here too. Just I

233
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: think both teams are gonna have to run into tempo

234
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: to tire out the defenses and allow themselves to score

235
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: a lot of points. Or let's move along to the

236
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: National Football League. Uh and the first game this weekend

237
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: is Indie at Kansas City. Uh. India's getting six points

238
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: right now there plus six over under a fifty six

239
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: and a half, which is a lot of points. Here's

240
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: my here's my deal with this game. So obviously I

241
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: am a Chiefs fan. My brother plays for the Chiefs.

242
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: But their defense is atrocious right there? Twenty six and

243
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: d v O a And here's the deal. Everyone's gonna

244
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: point to this. They're gonna say, well, their defense plays

245
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: well at home. That is very true. But they played

246
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, they played the Cardinals, the Broncos, the Bengals,

247
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and the Niners at home. Then they played

248
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: the Ravens at home, who would beat by three, only

249
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: scored twenty four points. And the best team they played

250
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: at home with the Chargers, who scored twenty nine points

251
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: on them. I just feel like this is setting up

252
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: to be a disaster for the Chiefs. I love the Chiefs.

253
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: I love my brother. I text another day saying like, like,

254
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: basically like this cold teams is tough. I don't think

255
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: he even answered that answer that for me, But um,

256
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: I just think we're I think we're setting up for

257
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: just another heartbreak in Kansas City with with the Colts

258
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: putting up thirty five or thirty eight points. I mean, Jeff,

259
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: don't don't you think though that that at some point?

260
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this Indianapolis team, they're kind of playing with

261
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: house money at this point, right, No, I mean, and

262
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: they've had to win now so many weeks in a row. Then,

263
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you think at some point it becomes

264
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: a burden on you. I mean, the Chiefs arrested, they're

265
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: at home, They've had two weeks to prep for this game.

266
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I just had such a hard

267
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: time seeing this Chiefs team. And I know what what's

268
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: happened in the past with them in the playoffs, but

269
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: this particular team coming out flat. I don't think it's

270
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: about coming out. I think that's that the Colts can

271
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: score at will on them, and it puts actually pressure

272
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: more on the Chief's offense to be perfect because if

273
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: they if they if they don't score every time, I

274
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: don't see how the Colts get stopped unless they turn

275
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: the ball over, which obviously can happen. I'm not saying

276
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: it won't happen. But that's my concern is the Chief's

277
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: defense is by far the worst defense still in the playoffs.

278
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not even like remotely close. I mean,

279
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City is let's say twenty six, and dv ol

280
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: A and the Rams are nineteen, and then there's like

281
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, then there's a bunch of other teams that

282
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: are kind of average. So PAULI, what's your what's your field?

283
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: This game? Listen like you know. I mean I've even

284
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: on Pat mahomes chamed since the beginning. I've always loved him. Um,

285
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: I actually think this game, they I don't know who's

286
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: gonna stop who. I think Andy Reid will have enough

287
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: of his sleeve with the week off and be able

288
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: to put up some points on that defense. And like

289
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: you said, I don't know how they're I'm going to

290
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: stop Andrew Luck crazy stat um since the merger, they

291
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: are Marty Schottenheimer and Andy Reid basically or three and

292
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: seventeen in the playoffs against the spread and oh in

293
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: nine against the spread at home. And if you look

294
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: at him Luck, he plays he plays better against better teams.

295
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's nine and four UM against teams

296
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: with extended rest. And we talked about this where he

297
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: covered against Brady's just he has a knack of covering.

298
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: This is a lot of points. I get it. I

299
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: I love the Chiefs that they're gonna score a lot

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: of points. But I just don't know how Indianapolis is.

301
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Is this a train moving? I don't know how they're

302
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: gonna stop that run game. Um, It's scares you because

303
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are explosive and you get a week off.

304
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: But those stats don't lie. I can't. I couldn't believe

305
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: it when I saw it, um um, So I'll probably

306
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: lay a little bit on the over. It's still a

307
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: lot of points for a playoff, I mean, still six points.

308
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: Is they're just begging you to play the Kansasy Chiefs.

309
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: The Kansasy Chiefs have never been had a line like

310
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: this where Vegas has wanted you to bet them the

311
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: whole year. They've been trying to get you to sort

312
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: of layoff because they've crushed them early, I think. I mean, Paul,

313
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: you know the thing that that's weird about this too

314
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: is I'm looking at this game on our app right now,

315
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,359
Speaker 1: and you've got seventy three of the money on Indianapolis,

316
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: and yet that line is going up. I mean it

317
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: opened it five, it's now it's five and a half

318
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: or six. Yeah, it opened. It's kind of been all

319
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: over the place again. I think it opened lower. It

320
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: four the cut hammer by the cold, so it went about.

321
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: It's been all over the place. It's been. It's been

322
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: up and down. I agree, it's it's a lot of

323
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: money is coming to the Chiefs from I would guess

324
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: smart people obviously if the Wines were in that direction.

325
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, Paul, would you get that

326
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: staff from that's amazing, Yeah, it's an amazing stat It's

327
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: from our staff. Evan Ammons did it, uh yesterday And

328
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: if you go on our app and click click it on,

329
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: it's it's the first thing he comes up with. And

330
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: it's since the NFL a FL major merger in nineteen seventy.

331
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are four and sixteen straight up, three and

332
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: seventeen against the spread in the playoffs, including Owen nine

333
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: against the spread at home. That is like, that's insane.

334
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: That's an insane stuff. It is, it is, and it's

335
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: an interesting staff. But I mean this is a different

336
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: team this of course. Of course you've got the Homes

337
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: there now and they play a totally different styles. So

338
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you know what. The more

339
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling about this bet in the Chiefs right now

340
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: is making a bet. We do we need to put

341
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: we need to put the sounder in there for that,

342
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: um uh, the other the Chad sound he's making a bet.

343
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: Um alright, son, yesterday, I think I think I lean

344
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Colts plus six. Look, I would listen the Chiefs can

345
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: easily win this game. I I don't think. I don't

346
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: want to get that miscontr you're here. I just think

347
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: it's it's a bad man. I think Colts will score

348
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot too. The Chiefs have to score a ton

349
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: of points. That's why I think the over. I I

350
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: probably will never bet the over here because that's a

351
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: lot of points. I know, paul you you might hammer

352
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: it over here, but I like Indie plus six. Black

353
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: Check likes Kansas City minus six. So Paula, you're the

354
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: you're the tiebreaker. Yeah, I'd probably go with um wow,

355
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: I'll go in and I'd probably play Indianapolis plus two

356
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: points in this game, just because of the line. I'd

357
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: probably stay away. Like, you're right, I'm probably gonna play

358
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: the over a little bit. You are playing the over

359
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: come on, Yeah, already did for five point nine units

360
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: whatever it is, Yeah, exactly. I I just don't know.

361
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: I just think with the week off, you know, Andy

362
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: Reid and good for thirty five points, they're good for

363
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: the But you make a great point. I mean, like,

364
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't the way the Colts offense is rolling right now,

365
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: God almighty, this is it's gonna be a fun game

366
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: to watch. I'll tell you that al right. Next up,

367
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: let's go to the game in Los Angeles, Dallas at

368
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. This game, by the way, they

369
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: call seam. I looked up this morning. There. They're in

370
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: a construction right now, which which we all know. I see.

371
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: It's seventy eight thousands, you see. But they're fixing. They're

372
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: putting in a real press box like they're making a

373
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: big Boys stadium. Now. Um, there's gonna be forty five

374
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: thousand Cowboys fans of this game. It's gonna feel like

375
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: a Dallas home game. Um. I was there too. Lots

376
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: of surprise me. This is one of them. Uh. I

377
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: bet Dallas already plus seven I I I can't believe

378
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: this line is what it is. Um. The Rams have

379
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: been bullied when they've played great defenses the last couple

380
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: of weeks, and Dallas is a great defense right now.

381
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: I think Dallas bullies the Rams. I think the Rams

382
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: could win this game, but they have not looked the

383
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: same since since since since Cooper Cup has been hurt,

384
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: and like Paulice did to start the show, I've kind

385
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: of been a doubter of Dallas. They just keep winning

386
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: football games. I mean, at some point you gotta say,

387
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: maybe it's working for them. So I think the Rams could.

388
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: I think I can see the Rams win this game.

389
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: I think seven points is way too many points for

390
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys team. By the way, we'll shoring the game up

391
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: because they can run the football in. The Rams defense

392
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: is not very good. Um, Aaron Donald's good. The Rams

393
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: defense is not very good. That just keeps making plays

394
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: and their defense is gonna, I think, kind of harass

395
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: the Rams all game. Yeah, this is uh, this is

396
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: a game, Jeff that I I'm curious to see how

397
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: this thing plays out because you know, we're we're we're

398
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: so used to Sean mczay now in his two years

399
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: in l A. You know, having these great game plans

400
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: and pulling a rabbit out of his hat. But the

401
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: Rams have looked flat for about a month now and

402
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's funny you say that because Chad and

403
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: I have the same conversation on Friday that at some

404
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: point you gotta look in the mirror and just ask yourself, like,

405
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: have I just been missing this? Like because we underrated

406
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys too, and you know I think that they

407
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: are just they're better than we thought they are. The

408
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: trade for Marii Cooper trip changed their offense. They're a

409
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: different team now they have that vertical threat. It opens

410
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: up the running game, it opens up stuff underneath, and

411
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: of defense with those linebackers. Man, those linebackers are incredible.

412
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Vanderess and Jaylen Brown, those two kids are out standing together. UM,

413
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Seven points, there's too many. I think

414
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: the Rams win. But this this feels to me like

415
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: three kind of games. Yeah, I'm with both of you, guys.

416
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: I actually think that the Dallas Cowboys can win this game.

417
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: If you look back, was it four four weeks ago

418
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: when the Rams losses Chicago and then they went and

419
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: um lost to Philadelphi at home. I had mentioned Jared

420
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Goff against Chicago. They they got in his face. He

421
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: started to get a little happy feet. He got happy

422
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: feet because the front four or for Philadelphia has darned

423
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: good too. They'll get in your face. Then they fattened

424
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: up on the Cardinals. What I said, it was the

425
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: worst team in the league and they were you know,

426
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: they still give up. I know at the end of

427
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: the year, they still get up over three points in

428
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco to end the year, they were shaky towards

429
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: the end the way the stylus has has been playing

430
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. If Jason Garrett would

431
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: stay aggressive and grows some other kind of hair on

432
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: those red balls, he has a shot to win this

433
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: game because if he can get and Garrett's if he

434
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: gets in Jason, if he gets and get Golf's face,

435
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: and he gets stays aggressive and tells his defense corpinator,

436
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: stay aggressive, and they can run the football. This is rediculous.

437
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: Not only did open it opened at seven and a half.

438
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I can't completely hung seven and a half by alone.

439
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: Now it's down to seven. But I I really truly

440
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: feel that they're the most vulnerable team because Golf towards

441
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: the end of the year was a little bit shaky.

442
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: When you can get in his face, now, if you

443
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: let him sit back there, he's just gonna pick you apart.

444
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys can get in his face, and if

445
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: they can, then they can run the football. The one

446
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: thing that will wear me a little bit about this,

447
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was ten of eleven plaques SHRA passes this

448
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: past week against the Cowboys. The Rams run the highest

449
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: percent of plaque shop pass in the NFL. Now it's

450
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: not working quite the same without Cooper Cup there. But

451
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: if you're looking to back the Rams, it's a big number.

452
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: I think that's where you look is is the Rams

453
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: run the football, Well they're arrested, uh. Andrew Whitworth, the

454
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: left tackle, should be able to play. They arrested, uh.

455
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: And then they hit you know, big play action passes

456
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: down down the field. That's something that I would look

457
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: at it and say, look, this is where the Rams

458
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: score all other points that the totals forty nine. It

459
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: feels like a number. I don't really feel like playing

460
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: very much. No, I'm with you. I don't like the

461
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: total either, Yeah either do I actually like So it's

462
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: one in three last week if with the unders and overs,

463
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: right it was three the unders were three and one, yes, yeah,

464
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and basically that it was a based on a two

465
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: play conversion, right yeah yeah. So, I mean that's the

466
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: thing of the playoff game is the same thing when

467
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: you get in the basketball. They seem to calm down.

468
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: The flags went down, even though yesterday the flags are

469
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: ridiculous and it was a field goal fest. But Denzelo

470
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: just gets tighter like the strike. Soone gets tighter when

471
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: it gets in the playoffs, and RAM gets a little smaller,

472
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: so you got to be careful with deenners and numbers

473
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: in the playoff games. Look, defense matters obviously, but scoring.

474
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: You know, defense matters most in the red zone, and

475
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: we have really good red zone defenses in National Football. Alright,

476
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: first game Sunday, a game that I would be fun

477
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: to discuss because I think we have a disagreement on

478
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: this right away. Chargers at the Patriots. Patriots favored by

479
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: four and a half over under is forty seven. Alright, Black,

480
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: I'll let you go first because you have an argument

481
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: for the Chargers you mentioned earlier, and then I'll Paul.

482
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: You can go second, and I'll give you why I

483
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: liked the team I like. Go ahead, black Jack. I'm

484
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: all oad of the Chargers here. I bet this as

485
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: soon as this line came out of plus four and

486
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: a half for the Chargers. I think, like I said earlier, Jeff,

487
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers are built to deal with this Patriots team.

488
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: They have a great pass rush, they have a physical secondary.

489
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: New England. New England doesn't run the ball very effectively.

490
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: I mean, they're twenty one in the NFL in running

491
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: the ball. This year, they lose Josh Gordon Gronkowski, Like

492
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: I said, is I mean Gronkowski looks like he's about

493
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: fifty five years old out there trying to get down

494
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: the field. And you know, it's hard to to to

495
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to knock the Patriots because there's still the

496
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: Patriots and they're at home in Foxboro. But you know,

497
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: we're basically talking about an offense here that's gonna rely

498
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: on short and intermediate routes. When you've got Melvin Ingram,

499
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa and that pass rush coming to Brady, I

500
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: just I think there's gonna be a problem there with

501
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: them protecting with them protecting Brady, and then you know

502
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: their defense it's been decent, but Keenan Allen is probably

503
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with Stefin Gilmour. I think that

504
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: that that should be a good matchup, but I think

505
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is still gonna get his Also, the Chargers

506
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: play at a very very slow pace their thirtieth in

507
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: the league and pace which means they're going to try

508
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: to keep the ball out of Brady's hands, which is

509
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: something that that honestly is is a huge factor because

510
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: the more. The more you give him the ball, you

511
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: give him the chance to get those two for ones

512
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half, you give him

513
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game at the end of

514
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the game. And the last factor is the game's on

515
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: the road, which normally I think would be an issue.

516
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: But the Chargers, that damn road warriors of the NFL.

517
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: There ain't no outside of l A. I mean, they've

518
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: they've been fantastic on the road. So there's nothing about

519
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: this game in my mind that that makes me want

520
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: to take New England and lay four and a half points. Yeah,

521
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: this is the most confusing game of the slate. Um

522
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: black check makes a lot of good points in here.

523
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Um that New England really doesn't get to the quarterback,

524
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: that that's going to help an offensive line to the Chargers,

525
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: it's not great. I think their thirtieth in the league

526
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: and sack right where actually, um Um. But also in

527
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: New England's offensive line I think is better than you think.

528
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: So number one. Yeah, so Brady's gonna be able to

529
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: do histing. Um. I have a feeling this game is

530
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna go on. I have a feeling this is gonna

531
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: be a grinded out type of game. But then again,

532
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: you never know. It's so hard to to like pick

533
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: Brady or pick Belichick's um mind because you never know.

534
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: Like black Check said, they are going to try to

535
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: slow the game down. Now, is Brady and Belichick gonna

536
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: just gonna try to speed this game up and play

537
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: an uptepo game? Now we're gonna look at an over

538
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: game this side. I'm gonna let you two guys go

539
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: at it. I I do not know. The Chargers to

540
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: me have always been confusing, you know. Philip rivers Um,

541
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: he said after the game, he's I'm I'm more excited

542
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: than I ever. It reminds me of two thousand seven.

543
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: He looked like a little kid. That was the last

544
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: time he went into Foxboro. He was hurt. They got

545
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: beat Um and he's been waiting what and this long

546
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: for this and he deserves it. Man. This guy's had

547
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: a great year, and I think he's had an underrated year.

548
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: And he's a quarterback that's had a career that I

549
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't give him credit for

550
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: what kind of career has had, you know. And and

551
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: PAULI and Jeff just just one other side note about

552
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: this game. They are forecasting three to five inches of

553
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: snow on Sunday in Foxboro. Interesting, so there's question the

554
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: hammer the under really quick. I love I love betting under,

555
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: so I'll for my first raver that now. Alright, my

556
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: quick thoughts about this game. At four and a half,

557
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: I leaned to the Chargers, all right, I think the

558
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Patriots win this game, but four and a half makes

559
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: me lean a little bit towards towards Los Angeles. But

560
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you the reasons why I think New England

561
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: wins this game. One is their offensive line is good, okay,

562
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: and they can they can stop the Charger's pass rush.

563
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: And we we see this all the time where good

564
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: defensive team comes into New England and Tom Brady just

565
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: picks him apart. Right, they go empty and they throw

566
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: the ball around. Now, look, the Chargers are good against that, right.

567
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the charge of defense is bad. I

568
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: can't do that. But we've seen that throughout throughout their

569
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: trout Tom Brady's time in New England. And this is

570
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: a little different, right, He's older, now, Gronk, like you mentioned,

571
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: Blackjack is is fifty years old, playing like seven years old.

572
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: It's not the same team, but he routinely is able

573
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: to make plays against these defenses because he gets the

574
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: ball out quickly, he identifies pre snap where they're going

575
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: with the ball, and he does enough the second thing.

576
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: And while the Chargers have been fabulous, you mentioned that

577
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: they're nine oh this year where they've had to fly right,

578
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: the one game they missed was the game in Los Angeles,

579
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: and includes a couple of preseason games as well. Um,

580
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: but they almost charged that game yesterday, right, they missed it.

581
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: They missed a kick to start the second half of

582
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: field goal. They turned the ball over, the worst thing

583
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: they could do with that at that time. Turn the

584
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: ball over backed up, gave the Ravens opportunity to get

585
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: three points, and then they got a punt blocked. Those

586
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: are those are three possessions that started the second half.

587
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: Then they allowed Lamar Jackson, who had been who had

588
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: like negative to passing yards entering the fourth quarter, to

589
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: go off in the fourth quarter by just running around

590
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: with his head cut off and throwing the ball deep

591
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: and not playing defense. So uh, that worries me a ton,

592
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: because you can't make those mistakes against the Patriots. The

593
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: Patriots don't beat themselves they let other teams beat themselves.

594
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: And that's what worries me with the Chargers is until

595
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: proven otherwise, I'm gonna think the charges will continue to

596
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: be the charges of old. And that's why at four

597
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: and a half, I lean to the Chargers, but I

598
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: I lean more towards the Patriots winning this game. Fair enough,

599
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Will, We'll have to see, you know. My my

600
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: biggest My biggest thing is that I just I've watched

601
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the Patriots. I've done on the Patriots

602
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: on this year. Tom Brady just doesn't look like Tom

603
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Brady anymore. There are moments when he does a dender,

604
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: moments when he throws the ball, especially when he throws

605
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: it downfield and it looks like Eli Manning is throwing

606
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: it up there. He's just lost ing it up there

607
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: and asking to get intercepted. I mean, that's what we

608
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: saw in the Pittsburgh game in the fourth quarter, and

609
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: I just I kind of think that's it for New England.

610
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know people have been saying this

611
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: for the last six seven years, but I kind of

612
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: think we're at the end here. I think we're close

613
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: to the end here. But let's move on one more

614
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: game to talk about the Eagles and the Saints. This

615
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: game is at nine right now for the Saints over

616
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: runs a fifty one. I'll tell you the best. I

617
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: like best. I'm not sure I'm gonna touch nine because

618
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: I do think well. I agree that that Nick Foles

619
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 1: is playing gray and Eagles have some moji. I can

620
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: see this game getting out of hand because the Eagles

621
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: secondary is awful and forever reason the Bears yesterday just

622
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: decided to not challenge them. I don't know why Saints

623
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: will not have that problem. They will throw the Eagle secondary,

624
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: who's starting their thirteenth player in the back end. The

625
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: bet I like the one I've made so far. Saints

626
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: over twenty nine and a half points throughout the game

627
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: they played against the Eagles, just generally speaking as far

628
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: as game planned for this weekend. But they've scored since

629
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: the Browns game. Since week two at home they scored

630
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: forty three and thirty one. They're off of buy, they're healthy.

631
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: That's the player. Like most Saints over twenty nine and a

632
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: a half points. I'm not sure I like a side yet,

633
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure like the total yet. Uh, Blackjack,

634
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: where do you side in this game. This was the

635
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: first game I met because I caught it at ten

636
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: when it opened a ten pin Philly plus ten um.

637
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles. You know, there's something else about

638
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: this Eagles team, Jeff. They tend to play really well

639
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: when they're when they have like an additional motivation. You know.

640
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: We saw it last year in the playoffs when they

641
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: had the dogs. Yeah, when the home underdogs. The Saints

642
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: absolutely curb stub this team six weeks ago. And when

643
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: that happened, I think we all thought the Eagles are done,

644
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: that's it, the end of their season. I think they

645
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: went to like four and six after that game, and

646
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: we thought they were finished. I think that gives them

647
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of extra motivation to go into here

648
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: and hang with this New Orleans team. I don't know

649
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: that they can win this game. Everything you said about

650
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: the Saints is right. I like that team total over

651
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: as well, but I think they can sure if he'll

652
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: keep it within ten. Yeah, um, I originally, you know,

653
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: I I think the Eagles can keepe with intent. I'm

654
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: with you. We usually when you, like you said, they

655
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: lost two to seven. Um. Usually when that happens, they'll

656
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: come back and it would be a closer game. If

657
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: you look, um, five times, there's a couple of five

658
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: dimes still has this game at ten. It's really weird.

659
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Some some books have this game from seven and a

660
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: half to ten. We have it on ours like here

661
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: and that like eight like, but five Times has kept

662
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: it at ten like and it's almost like it's you're right,

663
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: it opened up so big attend like, well that's a

664
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: lot of points. But like you said, I can see

665
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans blowing them out. Can you see Philadelphia? Um

666
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: maybe back door? And yeah I can. I just think, uh,

667
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: this is tough and the under and over has gone

668
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: gone down even though people are playing the over. If

669
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: I had to play the game, I'd probably play the

670
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: Eagles because I think they can maybe back door. But

671
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: I understand where you're saying, where you're going. Just you know,

672
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans is the dangerous team that can that could

673
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: just just bury somebody this weekend. So one thing I

674
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: want to say about the rematch. I know when people

675
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: are gonna look at this game and say, look at

676
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: the first game, I'll tell you why, don't worry. Don't

677
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: worry about that game. First of all, Doug Peterson has

678
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: has said publicly he has not watched that film, like

679
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has probably, but like the team did

680
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: not watch a film as a team, Like, there are

681
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: games you play that are so bad it actually makes

682
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: sense to just forget about him. So just say, you

683
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: know what it like, we lost so seven who can like,

684
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: we're not watching this game. We played so bad, there's

685
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: no point in in in reliving it. We're not gonna

686
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: do it. The Eagles are a different team now, so

687
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: either throw that game out you know where. Like the

688
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: Ravens and Chargers played in Week sixteen, that was a

689
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: blueprint for the Chargers to beat the Ravens this week,

690
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: this is not really a blueprint for the Saints in

691
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, to beat them. I will say to me,

692
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: the biggest factor in this game is the Saints offensive

693
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: line should be healthy ish uh. Their left tackle toront

694
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: Armstead as a chess thing he's dealing with. He should

695
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: be back on. Just Pete should be back, so should

696
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: Ryan ram Check. That offensive line has been the best

697
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: over the last two years in the National Football League. So,

698
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: like Blackstick, I love the team total over. I would

699
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: lean Eagles right now. I wouldn't touch a side. You

700
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: know what's what's funny about the sides? Guys will uh

701
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean totals? Well, uh, Well end with this, Like

702
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: I felt comfortable throughout the season betting a lot of

703
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: these totals. I just didn't feel the same way during

704
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: the first round of playoffs. Did you feel the same way? Like,

705
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: I feel like that the lines be the totals, I

706
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: should say, kind have been like not where I wanted

707
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: to bet them. Do you feel the same way? If

708
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: you look the totals in the divisional rounds were well,

709
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: forty eight was the first total, but then the rest

710
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: were what forty three and a half, forty two, forty two.

711
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: Now we're getting in divisional round Now look at them,

712
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: they're forty seven all the way up to fifty seven. Like,

713
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: and all the games went under last week. So it's

714
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: a little confusing, right, Like all the four numbers have

715
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: gone up before, but now the four best offenses now

716
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: come in off of by But the teams that played

717
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: last week, you know, traditionally have a tiny bit of

718
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: advantage maybe early first maybe first half. It was a

719
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a rhythm, and you know, the totals

720
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: being higher was a little bit surprised. I'm surprised. Fifty

721
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: seven in a divisional game. That's a lot of points. Well,

722
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you deal with two offenses that can

723
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: score pretty easily. In the chief defense, that's terrible. But

724
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean even in this game, you know, fifties a lot. Look,

725
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to score seven points. They're gonna

726
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: put up more than that. Okay. There's a critical difference

727
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: between this game and the first game that these two

728
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: teams played, and that's in the first one, the Eagles

729
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: went in there with that ginger bumb Carson wentz. Where

730
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: now they've got Nickols under center and they're gonna put

731
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: points up. Jeff dick nick as he said as he's

732
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: called around the philadelph Can I ask you, I ask

733
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: a question. Why did the kickers when the timeouts called?

734
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: Why did they kick it? Why? Practice? Right? But why? Um?

735
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: So it was interesting? Um uh, Chris Clean a couple

736
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: of guys is that. Um I think they used it

737
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: to judge where they're as especially if it's a long

738
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: kick to add more umph. And I think the first

739
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: kick that that he made, the one that to account

740
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: obviously was it didn't really he didn't really hit it

741
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: very well, and she tried to overhit it the second time.

742
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: Is my guess of what happened. Um, but yeah, man,

743
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: like obviously I think what you said before we were

744
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: starting in the park. Did he really train kicking? Yeah?

745
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: So so the story is in this video. Supposedly when

746
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: when he was a kid at home, he trained his

747
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: accuracy by trying to hit like a light post outside

748
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: his parents house. So he's been really accurate all year.

749
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: He's been extremely accurate all year. Poor guy. Man, Look obviously,

750
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: look if you're if you're a bum and you're a

751
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: loser that sends this guy death threats, you need to stop.

752
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: That's Adam that a lot of people don't know about.

753
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: Go back. It's a long time ago. There's a song

754
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: called the Lonesome Kicker. Really yeah, it's about it's about

755
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: a kicker. Um, it just will tell you everything what

756
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. So I need to know the Lonesome Kicker.

757
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a good place to end. The

758
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: Lonesome Kicker. Go go look that up by Adam Sandler.

759
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: Weird note his new Netflix special was filled in Charlotte.

760
