Speaker 1: Check it down Man, Now down Man, Monday morning, October seven, nineteen,
Speaker 1: doing the book podcast Jeel Alexander Week six Guessing Lines.
Speaker 1: Hard to believe we're already a week six. This is
Speaker 1: the exercise that gives you a start to your handicapping
Speaker 1: of the upcoming weekend's NFL games. It's an interactive exercise
Speaker 1: design for you to play along. Came up with your
Speaker 1: own lines and find out what Chris Andrews, my mish
Speaker 1: book of the South Point Hotel Casino sports director will
Speaker 1: put on the board to open things up on a
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Last week served me well four and one
Speaker 1: a t s in terms of contest picks, which kind
Speaker 1: of we're consistent with what I came up with on
Speaker 1: guessing lines. Hopefully it works out that well. Again, never
Speaker 1: a guarantee, but that's what we strive for. Anyway. Do
Speaker 1: it yourself, guess some lines along with us Chris Andrews
Speaker 1: and guessing lines beating the book podcast table. It's a
Speaker 1: numbers game. Gil Alexander in analy oh yes, treated with
Speaker 1: a we're galing of hail to the Redskins as I
Speaker 1: walked to the studio this morning. It is Gil Alexander.
Speaker 1: It is Visa, the Vegas Stats and Information Network serious
Speaker 1: except Channel two oh four, Visa dot Com, the Vasa app,
Speaker 1: foobost Link Game Plus. However, you're taking us in. Jeff
Speaker 1: Pearls here as well, producing number five. Parlay was hattening.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Gil, we have our first firing in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, Jake Gruden. No surprise if you have
Speaker 1: that at faraway places you cash at three to one,
Speaker 1: Congratulations to you, no surprise to anybody. We'll get to
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Oh yes we will. I got more to say.
Speaker 1: Remember that at RANT they put an in case you
Speaker 1: missed Visa last week about the Redskins, like a little
Speaker 1: more to say, just anger anger this morning, um as
Speaker 1: the Redskins follow and five predictably, how did you do
Speaker 1: in your non participatory contests? Well, remember I'm out a
Speaker 1: last man standing. I got KO two weeks ago. I
Speaker 1: got Kote week one, so at least they made for
Speaker 1: made it further than New York. It doesn't matter. That
Speaker 1: doesn't matter Nowad he would have been a three and
Speaker 1: two week, But I can't compare with you and Todd
Speaker 1: Wishnev who both four one weeks at four and one
Speaker 1: four and one I finally woke up. Good time to
Speaker 1: wake up, though, As the second quarterly of CIRCA begins,
Speaker 1: four and one, the Bears got me. The Bears were
Speaker 1: a team that got me. I think they've got a
Speaker 1: lot of people. But it is Monday, and that means
Speaker 1: it's guessing lines and ladies and gentlemen. The star of
Speaker 1: guessing lines from somewhere in Los Angeles. He's the South
Speaker 1: Point Hotel Casino sports book director. He is my mish
Speaker 1: book chrisy Andrews, Good morning, Chris. What's going on? Gail
Speaker 1: Weod morning? Are you happy? You know? I'm I'm I'm nonplussed.
Speaker 1: I'm completely nonplussed because, uh, you know, Jake Gruden probably
Speaker 1: should have been fired two years into his tenure. But
Speaker 1: at that point, you know, Daniel Snyder, this will get
Speaker 1: washed away in history at that point Daniel Snyder. The
Speaker 1: rap on Snyder among many raps, was oh, he just
Speaker 1: he goes through coaches too quickly, right, he just cycles
Speaker 1: through him. So Snyder, in sort of like a backlash
Speaker 1: kind of way, it was like, I'll show him. I'll
Speaker 1: keep Jay Gruden up and one later or whatever the
Speaker 1: record is, so he listen. I was never a j
Speaker 1: Gruden fan. But this this rots from the top. I'll
Speaker 1: get to that when we get to the Skins road
Speaker 1: teams this year. Chrissie road teams through five weeks of
Speaker 1: the National Football League season twenty six and two against
Speaker 1: the spread. Jeez, how did you do this week? From
Speaker 1: a book perspective? From the book? No, not very good?
Speaker 1: Very good? Um, Saturday was horrible. Uh, Sunday we made
Speaker 1: a little bit of a comeback. We actually did okay
Speaker 1: on Sunday, not great, but okay, but a couple of
Speaker 1: games that really helped us Bears and Raiders. Big big
Speaker 1: steam on the Bears. That was probably our biggest game
Speaker 1: of the morning, certainly, but the biggest game of the
Speaker 1: afternoon was the Broncos. Charges. Everybody's on the Broncos like
Speaker 1: they knew of the score, and we were just never
Speaker 1: in that game. Of course, last night was a very
Speaker 1: good result for Colts winning out right, you know that
Speaker 1: was that probably saved our whole day. So we mind
Speaker 1: up on slightly in the plus nothing great. Uh. Probably
Speaker 1: for the two days Saturday and Sunday, we're probably like
Speaker 1: about even, you know, not not much of reflex either way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see how the Colts saved your day last night.
Speaker 1: We'll get into all the games yesterday in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. For those tuning in for the first time,
Speaker 1: Guessing Lines is a tribute to the old Stardust Show
Speaker 1: with Roxy Roxborough Guessing Lines, where we try to uncover
Speaker 1: value a first sort of snapshot of this coming week's
Speaker 1: NFL games. Chris, he gives me the matchup, I guess
Speaker 1: what the line is. He tells me what he's putting up,
Speaker 1: and in that process we try to come up with
Speaker 1: some early week value. And let me just say last
Speaker 1: week was one of these rare weeks where whatever my
Speaker 1: first reaction was on Monday, I kind of stuck with
Speaker 1: those picks. Right. My four picks were Chicago, which didn't
Speaker 1: end up getting there, Minnesota, New England, Green Bay. Uh.
Speaker 1: The fifth that I ended up going with was Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and so it ended up being a four one week.
Speaker 1: And by the way, for those who say, hey, you
Speaker 1: took New England in Philadelphia, I'll square is that? Oh,
Speaker 1: call me square all you want, because if you don't
Speaker 1: understand how bad the Jets are and how the Redskins
Speaker 1: had no chance in that game, I can't help you
Speaker 1: with that. Uh, so it was. It worked out for
Speaker 1: one week anyway, and so we'll see if this is
Speaker 1: a week. We always reserve the right throughout the week
Speaker 1: to sort of change our minds because our brains do
Speaker 1: that to ourselves. But as a first reaction, hopefully you
Speaker 1: play along and you guess along. Maybe your guesses are
Speaker 1: far better than mine. Will be ready to do this, Chris,
Speaker 1: I want to start with Thursday, all right. By the way,
Speaker 1: let me throw away in this. I'm not sure I
Speaker 1: even really liked anything last Monday. Uh, not much. I
Speaker 1: know I like the Seahawks, so I'm not playing them
Speaker 1: in my contest just because I didn't want to commit,
Speaker 1: you know, the one the couple that I mean, you
Speaker 1: have to kind of commit on Thursday for your whole
Speaker 1: card if you play them. But we like to see
Speaker 1: how some money. Other than that, it was four and
Speaker 1: one and the Bears got me too. It was really
Speaker 1: good for the book. So can I ask you there?
Speaker 1: And I'm rooting for I'm rooting for the Raiders. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you about the Bears Raiders thing,
Speaker 1: because I did touch on this last week. I talked
Speaker 1: about it on the megapod. I think I talked about
Speaker 1: it late week, even though I may not have said
Speaker 1: it early week because we didn't know what the travel
Speaker 1: schedule was early in the week when we did Guessing Lines.
Speaker 1: But the Raiders basically spent all week in London and
Speaker 1: the Bears traveled really late, and it did feel like
Speaker 1: for the entire first half the Bears were still on
Speaker 1: the plane. Yeah, you know, I my wife friend I
Speaker 1: went to London on our honeymoon and it took about
Speaker 1: three days to really kind of get adjusted, maybe even
Speaker 1: more than that, you know. So, uh, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to think was there. You know, I'm with it
Speaker 1: saving money, you know, I don't know, maybe, but it's
Speaker 1: a bigger adjustment than check it down, man now down.
Speaker 1: Then Monday morning, October seven, twenty nineteen, doing the book
Speaker 1: podcast Juel Alexander Week six Guessing Lines. Hard to believe
Speaker 1: we're already at week six. This is the exercise that
Speaker 1: gives you a start to your handicapping of the upcoming

Speaker 1: with what I came up with on guessing lines. Hopefully
Speaker 1: it works out that well. Again, never a guarantee, but
Speaker 1: that's what we strive for. Anyway, do it yourself, get
Speaker 1: some lines along with us Chris Andrews and guessing lines
Speaker 1: of beating the book podcast Stable. It's a numbers game,
Speaker 1: Gil Alexander, believe in analytics. Oh yes, treated with a
Speaker 1: we're galing of hail to the Redskins as I walked
Speaker 1: to the studio this morning. It is Gil Alexander, it
Speaker 1: is Visa, the Vegas Stats and Information Network. Serious except
Speaker 1: Channel two oh four, Visa dot Com, the Vasa app,
Speaker 1: food post Link game plus. However, you're taking us in.
Speaker 1: Jeff Pearls here as well, producing number five Parlay was
Speaker 1: hattening Cood morning. Gil. We have our first firing in
Speaker 1: the National Football League, Jake Gruden, No surprise if you
Speaker 1: have that at far away places you cash at three
Speaker 1: to one. Congratulations to you, no surprise to anybody. We'll
Speaker 1: get to the Redskins. Oh, yes we will. I got
Speaker 1: more to say. Remember that at RANT they put an
Speaker 1: incase you missed visa last week about the Redskins, like
Speaker 1: a little more to say anger Anger this morning? Um
Speaker 1: as the Redskins follow and five predictably, how did you
Speaker 1: do in your non participatory contests? Well, remember I'm out
Speaker 1: a last man standing. I got KO two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I got KO week one, so at least I made
Speaker 1: for made it further than New York. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter NOWAD would have been a three and
Speaker 1: two week, but I can't compare with you and Todd Wishnev,
Speaker 1: who both four one hot weeks at four and one
Speaker 1: four and one, I finally woke up. Good time to
Speaker 1: wake up, though, as the second quarterly of CIRCA begins.
Speaker 1: Four and one, The Bears got me. The Bears were
Speaker 1: a team that got me. I think they've got a

Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, we're probably like about even, you know,
Speaker 1: not not much of reflect either way. Yeah, I can
Speaker 1: see how the Colts saved your day last night. We'll

Speaker 1: For those tuning in for the first time, Guessing Lines

Speaker 1: our brains do that to ourselves. But as a first reaction,
Speaker 1: hopefully you play along and you guess along. Maybe your
Speaker 1: guesses are far better than mine. Will be ready to
Speaker 1: do this, Chris, I want to start with Thursday. By
Speaker 1: the way, let me throw away in this. I'm sure
Speaker 1: I even really liked anything last Monday. Uh, not much.
Speaker 1: I know, I like the Seahawks, so I'm not playing
Speaker 1: them in my contest just because I didn't want to commit.
Speaker 1: You the one a couple that. I mean, you have
Speaker 1: to kind of commit on Thursday for your whole card
Speaker 1: if you play them. But we like to Seahawk some money.
Speaker 1: Other than that, it was four and one and the
Speaker 1: Bears got me too. You know, it was really good
Speaker 1: for the book. So can I ask you this there?
Speaker 1: And I'm rooting for I'm rooting for the Raiders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me let me ask you about the Bears Raiders thing,
Speaker 1: because I did touch on this last week. I talked
Speaker 1: about it on the megapod. I think I talked about
Speaker 1: it late week, even though I may not have said
Speaker 1: it early. We because we didn't know what the travel
Speaker 1: schedule was early in the week when we did guessing lines.
Speaker 1: But the Raiders basically spent all week in London and
Speaker 1: the Bears traveled really late, and it did feel like
Speaker 1: for the entire first half the Bears were still on
Speaker 1: the plane. Yeah, you know, I my wiffriend I went
Speaker 1: to London on our honeymoon, and I think three days
Speaker 1: to really kind of get adjusted. Maybe even more than that,
Speaker 1: you know. So uh, I don't know what the thinking
Speaker 1: was there, And you know, I'm a good saving money,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, maybe, but it's a bigger
Speaker 1: adjustment than people think you are, at least bigger than
Speaker 1: what the bear spot anyway. So um, I don't know
Speaker 1: if that played into it or not. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not a psychologist or physicist or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it took or a bio rhythmic expert,
Speaker 1: that's right, or a bio rhymic Yeah, I know. I
Speaker 1: know that both of those teams have a bye this week,
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to but I just want to
Speaker 1: say one last thing. Good for John Gruden, good for
Speaker 1: the Raiders, because I let me raise my hand and say,
Speaker 1: uh that I was among the voices that thought this
Speaker 1: team was going to be a disaster given their schedule. Right.
Speaker 1: The schedule was sort of the accomplice to the crime.
Speaker 1: And you look up at the standings and they are
Speaker 1: three and two. They have the same exact record as
Speaker 1: say the Dallas Cowboys. They are one game behind I
Speaker 1: don't know, the Kansas City Chiefs in their own division.
Speaker 1: So think about the perception we have of those franchises
Speaker 1: versus that of the Raiders. So good for John Gruden
Speaker 1: and the Raiders. Um, you know, his fortunes diametrically opposed
Speaker 1: to that of his brothers this morning. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: let's start with Thursday. What do you got Thursday? We
Speaker 1: got the New York Giants at the Patriots. Giants at
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Giants do fall to the Vikings. That was
Speaker 1: one of my picks yesterday. But thinking being if the Vikings,
Speaker 1: if you're any near as good as you're supposed to be,
Speaker 1: you'll get this done, You'll cover. The Vikings did end
Speaker 1: up getting it done against the Giants. Giants lost that
Speaker 1: game to the Vikings yesterday by the score of twenty
Speaker 1: eight to ten. Vikings cover is five and a half
Speaker 1: point road favorites New England. You know, they fall behind
Speaker 1: Washington seven and nothing, and every Redskin fan was like, hey, uh,
Speaker 1: couldn't not not one single, not one single Redskin fan mattered? Uh.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones Danny Dimes yesterday for the Giants in defeat
Speaker 1: against the Vikings thirty eight one eighty two, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sacked four times. They were out
Speaker 1: gained the Giants were by the Vikings four ninety to
Speaker 1: two eleven. And by the way, I think Minnesota took
Speaker 1: a knee at the end too, so they sort of, uh,
Speaker 1: we're kind at the end. Tom Brady against the Redskins,
Speaker 1: excuse me, forty two for three, forty eight, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sacked four times. Julian Edelman did
Speaker 1: most of the damage eight catches for one tenant a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Uh and oh and four team had not beaten a
Speaker 1: four and o team since nineteen seventy five. That remains
Speaker 1: intact fifth time in franchise history that the Patriots have
Speaker 1: started the season five and only the second time since
Speaker 1: two thousand seven, though as the first time in franchise
Speaker 1: history in New England has four straight games with the
Speaker 1: least five sacks, and the Patriots completed a fifth consecutive
Speaker 1: game without allowing a touchdown pass. That's the first team
Speaker 1: to pull off that feed since the Cleveland Browns. All
Speaker 1: of that said, Thursday night, short week, I know eased
Speaker 1: on my previous guesses with the Patriots that I'm always
Speaker 1: higher than the number. It's all come to me or
Speaker 1: gone through my number ultimately, and the Patriots can keep
Speaker 1: getting it done. So I feel confident in saying this
Speaker 1: should be and I don't care if it's lower Patriots
Speaker 1: minus seventeen and a half. I see anywhere from sixteen
Speaker 1: and a half to seventeen and a half. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open it right in the middle, just because, uh a
Speaker 1: little muscle memory. I think, guys, if you open seventeen
Speaker 1: and a half, I know what they're gonna do. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open seventeen. I'll probably get the seventeen and a a
Speaker 1: half come Thursday. But let me just say that Giant
Speaker 1: defense is just awful. I was looking at some of
Speaker 1: my notes here where my okay, Galvin Cook, I'm in
Speaker 1: thirty two yards rushing and eighty six yards in the year.
Speaker 1: Uh you know we caught passes for six yards even
Speaker 1: had a hundred and thirty yards receiving. I mean then
Speaker 1: you know this Giants team just can't stop anybody. They
Speaker 1: are pitiful, pitiful. Um. So I don't know, just one
Speaker 1: of those things Brady looks like right now. They don't
Speaker 1: want to take their foot off the gas. So it's
Speaker 1: kind to be at least seventeen to me, and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised this close higher, but I am going
Speaker 1: to start this seventeen. Yeah, I'm surprised anything south of seventeen.
Speaker 1: I really am with with this team. There's a couple
Speaker 1: out there I'm looking at, you know, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of places from you know, let's say, influential places.
Speaker 1: I have sixteen and a half, so, but I think seventeen.
Speaker 1: They want to grab it off me right away. God
Speaker 1: bless me. As bad as the Giants are not hardly
Speaker 1: close to the worst team in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do a little Sunday morning here
Speaker 1: before we go to a break. By the way, do
Speaker 1: we have a better break? Do we have a better
Speaker 1: ratio between early and late games? This week? It was
Speaker 1: ten early games yesterday and then two games which ended
Speaker 1: up being blowouts. Uh and I'm and by the way,
Speaker 1: serves you right, National Football League? Right? Thank god there
Speaker 1: was baseball on because other eyes that would just been
Speaker 1: a devoid of any entertainment. The afternoon better ratio this
Speaker 1: coming weekend? Yeah, we have four afternoon games, but this
Speaker 1: next one up is a six thirty am. Okay, what's
Speaker 1: the London game? Carolina and Tampa Bay in London? Carolina
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. There are four London games this year. There
Speaker 1: will be one more, I believe in October, one more
Speaker 1: in November, and then there's a Estadio Asteca game in
Speaker 1: Mexico City. So there's five in the International Series. But
Speaker 1: this is the second London again, Carolina at Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: You said Carolina and Tampa Bay in London. Okay, So
Speaker 1: NFC South game in London, nothing says the NFC South
Speaker 1: Chrissy like London. A Carolina comes off a win. Carolina
Speaker 1: yesterday hangs on and I do mean hang on with
Speaker 1: a Luke kick Ley knocked out at the end of
Speaker 1: the game to uh to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday
Speaker 1: thirty four to on the seven. They cover his three
Speaker 1: point favorites Tampa Bay. Uh. They go into New Orleans
Speaker 1: lose by a touchdown thirty one twenty four. They were
Speaker 1: three point dogs in that game. Christian McCaffrey, I mean
Speaker 1: we could just repeat this every week. Christian mccraff. McCaffrey
Speaker 1: nineteen carries for a hundred seventy six yards, two touchdowns
Speaker 1: and that went against Jacksonville. That's on the ground. Then
Speaker 1: six catches for sixty one yards and a touchdown. He
Speaker 1: averaged nine that's receiving. He averaged nine point three yards
Speaker 1: per carry. It's the fourth time this year he's had
Speaker 1: at least a hundred and seventy five yards from scrimmage
Speaker 1: and at least the touchdown in the first five games.
Speaker 1: That tis a record set by Jim Browne. Whenever you're
Speaker 1: being compared to Jim brown Chris man Um. He's on pace,
Speaker 1: by the way for the most yards from scrimmage ever
Speaker 1: in any season right now. Tennessee's Chris Johnson. If you
Speaker 1: remember Chris Johnson when he was at his height in
Speaker 1: two thousand nine, he had over twenty yards from scrimmage.
Speaker 1: McCaffrey paste almost get the hundred yards for scrimmage and
Speaker 1: it was all. If you notice with Carolina yesterday, Chris,
Speaker 1: they used this same formation almost every play. It's like
Speaker 1: this single back inside zone run. They do nothing that fancy.
Speaker 1: They got two five yards rushing, three touchdowns on the ground,
Speaker 1: uh in that win. It's their third straight win, first
Speaker 1: win at home for them at nearly a year, and
Speaker 1: they still needed the two late stops and a fifty
Speaker 1: six yard fumble returned by the way for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: From rookie defense van Brian Burns, who was the NFC's
Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Month in September. He's having a
Speaker 1: great rookie year. And then Kyle Allen. Uh, he did
Speaker 1: drop the ball a couple of times. Um, but he
Speaker 1: wins again. It's he's won his first four career NFL starts,
Speaker 1: first young, first rookie quarterback to win his first four
Speaker 1: career starts since Kurt Warner didn't. But he did fumble
Speaker 1: on the game's opening possession among his fumbles. So there's that.
Speaker 1: And then there's Jamis who didn't do a whole bunch
Speaker 1: yesterday fifteen to oh four against the Saints. Two touchdowns
Speaker 1: note picks, he was sacked six times, and although Chris
Speaker 1: Godwin had seven and two touchdowns, not a single catch
Speaker 1: by Mike Evans who was the intended receiver just three
Speaker 1: times in that game. So that's nuts for Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: That's just out of control for them. Uh, it's a
Speaker 1: London game. I actually think Tampa Bay should be favored here.
Speaker 1: It won't be by a full field goal. But there's
Speaker 1: nothing about Kyle Allen that makes me that confident and
Speaker 1: as good as Carolina has strength with McCaffrey. I actually
Speaker 1: think Tampa Bay is better suited in this game. I say,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay by two and a half. Well, my friend,
Speaker 1: you're way off. Usually you're hot. Uh, it's Carolina. I
Speaker 1: saw some pick early this morning. It's going to Carolina
Speaker 1: the favorite. I even see it one and a half Carolina.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you it kind of like the
Speaker 1: Carolina one and a half myself. Um, you know again,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a smart people can just uh and
Speaker 1: I respect your opinion, but I think that uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Both these teams just looked like something was
Speaker 1: missing a little bit. Yesterday. Caroline, of course came away
Speaker 1: with with a win. But where's my notes are? I
Speaker 1: know there the qb R for them? Okay, let's start
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay. You know the QPR for Jamis Winston. Well,
Speaker 1: I thought it's really kind of coming on this year,
Speaker 1: sixteen point six, you know, out of a one hundred.
Speaker 1: For those that that don't follow, I mean, he's just
Speaker 1: he really did not play a good game, but they
Speaker 1: kind of hung in there a little bit. So I'd
Speaker 1: say the opposite for the Panthers. Now, Kyle Allen, it
Speaker 1: was thirty three point two. Again not very good, but
Speaker 1: it looked like they kept letting the Jaguars stay in
Speaker 1: that game, and as I was watching, it looked like
Speaker 1: they should be winning that game much more comfortably than
Speaker 1: they were. So a little bit of a knock on
Speaker 1: both teams. I think coming into this one, I smell
Speaker 1: like Caroline a little bit better here, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open Carolina one and a half. That's the high water
Speaker 1: market I see. I see mostly ones right now, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open one and a half. I like Carolina
Speaker 1: in this I I honestly, and I kind of agree
Speaker 1: with what you said. I think Jacksonville, behind Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: stayed in that game. And I think Tampa Bay. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we think New Orleans is good, and I think
Speaker 1: we're all pretty much in agreement that we do the
Speaker 1: fact that Tampa Bay was hanging around there to some extent.
Speaker 1: They weren't really hanging around, but they were hanging around,
Speaker 1: you know, at least on the scoreboard. Um, I actually listen,
Speaker 1: even if the wrong team is favorite, here's what yesterday
Speaker 1: taught me, or at least drove home in case I forgot,
Speaker 1: because that's again that's the one game that bit me.
Speaker 1: Wait to find out what these teams are doing travel wise.
Speaker 1: It really matters. I really do believe that it does.
Speaker 1: And so there's no pick until I know that information,
Speaker 1: no matter whose favorite of that game. But that's a
Speaker 1: London game. And you said that's the sixth that's the
Speaker 1: old return to the six thirty Pacific, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: nine Eastern six thirty Pacific. All right, Well we'll come

Speaker 1: We will put it up in podcast form as well.
Speaker 1: Thanks everybody, take it in and podcast forum. By the way,
Speaker 1: um five figures worth of of downloads. Let's put it
Speaker 1: that way. Nothing wrong with that. What did you say that?
Speaker 1: What did you say that? Most popular? The single most
Speaker 1: listened to Visa podcast of all time was Jeff which
Speaker 1: in recent memory we uh, well, recently we had the
Speaker 1: Matt Lindeman in interview we had a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Gil Uh yeah, Okay, Jacob is telling me in in
Speaker 1: in my ear that it is all time the highest
Speaker 1: one that we have had. The Matt Lindeman interview we've
Speaker 1: had last week or a couple of weeks back. On
Speaker 1: the numbers game. Cool, well, this is on the beating
Speaker 1: the book podcast side with a guessing with guessing lines
Speaker 1: and people sitting to that in record numbers because people
Speaker 1: love Chrissie, they do. Uh and uh, we will get
Speaker 1: to baseball too. I know there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: feeding for baseball here. But let's continue with week six.
Speaker 1: I had Tampa Bay Favorite in London. Chrissie tells me
Speaker 1: it's Carolina. Um. Let's check travel schedules on that. Let's
Speaker 1: move on, Chris Um. Let's talk about your book real
Speaker 1: quick because that's still available. And then one day are called,
Speaker 1: then one day not, and then one day then one day. Um,
Speaker 1: sales are brisk, still, sir, shows seem to be pretty brisk.
Speaker 1: I get a lot of compliments on Twitter. People are
Speaker 1: reading it, and uh, I'm gonna tell you I haven't
Speaker 1: really heard any negative stories about about the stories in
Speaker 1: the book, and everybody, everybody that gets it likes it,
Speaker 1: so I think, you know, the the demographic of our
Speaker 1: readers are probably a lot of the same guys that
Speaker 1: are listening to this show or listen to Visa or
Speaker 1: like to make an occasional wager too. However, I have
Speaker 1: heard from a couple people who have no own interesting
Speaker 1: gambling whatsoever, but told me they loved the book, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's I think it's just a there's a
Speaker 1: lot of human human stories, human the human condition, I think,
Speaker 1: which I think gambling really uh yeah, brings it out
Speaker 1: in a lot of people, good and bad. But that's
Speaker 1: in There's a lot of stories like that in the book.
Speaker 1: Most were pretty humorous, some not quite so much. But
Speaker 1: I think they're all very enjoyable. And you talked about
Speaker 1: how they loved me guilt, they love me, go buy
Speaker 1: the book, dang it. So you know, that's a great
Speaker 1: way to show me love. It's a very very appropriate comment,
Speaker 1: I guess. Was there, by the way, before before we
Speaker 1: get back into week six lines, was there a story
Speaker 1: in there right like crying Kenny. We expect people to
Speaker 1: react to if they haven't heard that. Was there a
Speaker 1: story that got just anecdotally from feedback that has gotten
Speaker 1: back to you more love than you might have expected
Speaker 1: in that book. Uh, no, the one that you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, the crying Kenny was a great story, of course,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people like the Twins story. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe now just because we're a baseball season
Speaker 1: or you know, we're at the peak of baseball season
Speaker 1: with the playoffs and the Twins are in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I've heard from a lot of folks that really enjoyed
Speaker 1: the Twins story and that and I told him that
Speaker 1: that's really the story that got us started on this
Speaker 1: whole thing, was when I told you that at dinner
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and again true, it's at the
Speaker 1: end of the story. The last line is a bit
Speaker 1: of a joke, you know, but you know, don't take
Speaker 1: that too seriously. But the rest of the story is
Speaker 1: a hundred percent true, certainly. And yeah, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of people really like that one. And I think, well,
Speaker 1: you talked about the human condition and showing people like
Speaker 1: hubris and certain things like that. Boy that that really uh,
Speaker 1: that nails it right there. Yeah, that was the one
Speaker 1: that started at all. Human condition is exactly what I
Speaker 1: pointed out in the forward that you were kind enough
Speaker 1: to let me uh include in your book as well.
Speaker 1: So happy to be the smallest part of that you
Speaker 1: were kind enough to write it. You gotta started on
Speaker 1: this meant everywhere. Let us continue with Week six guessing lines. Um,
Speaker 1: let's go stateside here, so let's do early games ten
Speaker 1: and Pacific one pm Eastern Cincinnati at Baltimore. Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: Baltimore a f C North Cincinnati and five Sorry Bengals. Uh.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati loses yesterday to the Cardinals. Furious come back by
Speaker 1: the Bengals. They're late too touchdown comeback, but Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: makes two big plays down the stretch, one with arm,
Speaker 1: one with legs, and Cincinnati falls to oh and five.
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd does Phillip statute again. Ten catches hundred twenty
Speaker 1: three yards in a touchdown Bengals and five for the
Speaker 1: first time since two thousand eight, seventh time they've been
Speaker 1: owing five since. That's the most in the league over
Speaker 1: that span. They haven't won a playoff. Yeah, they haven't
Speaker 1: won a playoff game since after the UH season. Baltimore
Speaker 1: yesterday gets the win. Uh. They do so in overtime
Speaker 1: over your Steelers twenty six to twenty three. Uh Jackson
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson nine six one, one touchdown, three picks. He
Speaker 1: was sacked five times, but and always a butt with
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Fourteen carries for seventy yards lead the Ravens
Speaker 1: and rushing Ravens eleven penalties ninety two yards. They out
Speaker 1: possessed the Steelers. Remember this one into overtime thirty nine
Speaker 1: minutes to thirty four was the first, by the way,
Speaker 1: first Steelers Ravens game since two thousand seven that didn't
Speaker 1: feature either Big Ben or Joe Flacco. And he guess
Speaker 1: who the starting quarterbacks were that day for the Steelers
Speaker 1: in the Ravens in two thousand seven. Chris, let me
Speaker 1: see Tommy Maddi and Elvis Kerback, Troy Smith and Charlie Batch.
Speaker 1: You went back too far. You get that part. You
Speaker 1: get that I knew the Batch one I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I forgot Troy Smith existed in all on That's Heisman
Speaker 1: trophy went. Uh. So Baltimore snaps the two game losing streak.
Speaker 1: They did so in overtime when Marlon Humphrey stripped Juju
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster recovered a fumble to Pittsburgh thirty four early
Speaker 1: in the extra period. I could hear the moaning already
Speaker 1: from Chris. Then Justin Tucker slips in the forty six
Speaker 1: yard or four plays later. Baltimore wins. That, by the way,
Speaker 1: was after Mike Tomlin decided to kick off in overtime
Speaker 1: instead of taking the ball. Tomlin said afterward. Uh He
Speaker 1: pointed to the team's ineffective kickoff return unit as one
Speaker 1: of the reasons for the decision. Tucker had consistently pinned
Speaker 1: the Steelers deep in their own territory, and that was
Speaker 1: after a late flurry where Chris Boswell had to go
Speaker 1: ahead field goal with two forty one left in regulation,
Speaker 1: but then Jackson, with the help of a questionable roughing
Speaker 1: the passer call on Ola Denny. Uh then that moved
Speaker 1: Baltimore arranged to have Tucker tie it with fourteen seconds
Speaker 1: left to go in regulation. So it's Baltimore hosting Cincinnati. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's not Patriots spread. But it's gotta be ten and
Speaker 1: a half, right, Baltimore minus ten and a half. You're
Speaker 1: a little light on that one. It's anywhere from eleven.
Speaker 1: The twelve. Well, I personally didn't think Baltimore looked all
Speaker 1: that great yesterday. I think they got a little lucky, yeah,
Speaker 1: winning that game. I thought, of course, we'll get to
Speaker 1: the Steelers a little later with Mason Rudolph getting hurt.
Speaker 1: But boys, Cincinnati is just awful. Their defense is just atrocious.
Speaker 1: Did they give up on the ground? They gave up
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty eight yards rushing je and the
Speaker 1: Bengals did that's you know, that's abyss will come on
Speaker 1: and kind of we'll get to the Cardinals to Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray and his best name as a pro um. But
Speaker 1: Jerry Andy Dalton actually played pretty well. I thought he
Speaker 1: was good. And forgive me Gil, who's the Bengals coach
Speaker 1: Taylor name Zach Taylor. He looked totally lost on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if the Brown family is
Speaker 1: trying to save money again with what they're doing with
Speaker 1: the really running this entire franchise, But I don't know
Speaker 1: where they got this guy. He looks totally lost. But
Speaker 1: I'm an open twelve there. I guess I don't want
Speaker 1: to be low and I just I can't see people
Speaker 1: bending on Cincinnati. I think Baltimore is probably not quite
Speaker 1: as good as we thought a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But Cincinnati, I think it's probably worse than we thought
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. And going into this season,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna do it me a calpa here.
Speaker 1: I thought that they were the most underrated team power
Speaker 1: rating wise and in the eyes of the public. Uh
Speaker 1: as far as the betting markets go, well, I've got
Speaker 1: to take that back. They are just awful. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open this game twelve. But I do see lower,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm gonna open this one twelve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mentioned road teams are at the top. Were twenty
Speaker 1: six and two A t s thus far this year,
Speaker 1: and two road teams a T s. The Bengals have
Speaker 1: provided a couple of those wins on the road. I've
Speaker 1: been on him a couple of times when they've done so.
Speaker 1: But you're right, Um, that doesn't mean they're an auto
Speaker 1: play on the road to buy any stretch, And I
Speaker 1: don't know that. I want to play them and then
Speaker 1: hold my nose and hope Lamar Jackson doesn't absolutely destroy them.
Speaker 1: So you're saying Baltimore by twelve that's what you're doing. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: were from eleven to twelve. I'm gonna be on the
Speaker 1: high end of this twelve until if somebody plays me.
Speaker 1: That's twelves. One of those numbers you can move at
Speaker 1: a full point if somebody, uh wise guy plays it
Speaker 1: either way. Um, but right now, if they do anything
Speaker 1: at this point in time, and obviously you're very earlier
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, it'll probably be on the dog. But
Speaker 1: if somebody comes in and ladies, that would probably jump
Speaker 1: that up to third team pretty quick. Because, like I said,
Speaker 1: who who wants a bet Cincinnati? I don't know. And
Speaker 1: yesterday this was this was not a good game for us.
Speaker 1: Everybody was all over the Cardinals against Cincinnati, and just
Speaker 1: watching it for that defense would just it's just atrocious.
Speaker 1: And I know view that adjective a couple of times,
Speaker 1: but that's what they were. They were atrocious. That was
Speaker 1: one of those games where every time red Zone showed it,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had the ball like I have very until
Speaker 1: that last flurry. It was like the Bengals ever get
Speaker 1: the ball in this game? All right, let's do another
Speaker 1: one here Seattle at Cleveland. See I like Cleveland, so
Speaker 1: we have not seen Cleveland play Cleveland is tonight, uh,
Speaker 1: Monday Night football at the Niners. By the way, this
Speaker 1: game has gone up right, this is five points now
Speaker 1: in favor of the Niners. You've gotten a lot of
Speaker 1: Niner money yourself. Oh let me tell you, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think give me posted a couple of tickets. Uh uh.
Speaker 1: First of all, we opened at three. We moved it
Speaker 1: fairly quickly up to three and a half. But we
Speaker 1: have a couple of players. One guy better's minus the
Speaker 1: three and a half of fifty thousand, another guy that
Speaker 1: four sixty thousand, and I just said, we'll skip the
Speaker 1: four and a half. Just still right the five with this.
Speaker 1: So so we've been at five or right in a
Speaker 1: little bit, even even action at five. But yeah, we
Speaker 1: we need the Browns pretty good. Tonight's gonna be one
Speaker 1: of the big big games of the weekend for us. Wow. Alright,
Speaker 1: So Seattle at Cleveland, we won't probably have something posted everywhere,
Speaker 1: but Seattle will be on extra rest. Cleveland will be
Speaker 1: on short rest. And because Seattle played on Thursday, and
Speaker 1: that was the game. For those who forget that, Pete
Speaker 1: Carroll tried to change single handedly by kicking that field goal.
Speaker 1: When Seattle was up fourteen to six with one thirty
Speaker 1: eight left in the uh first half. It was fourth
Speaker 1: and one at the Rams thirty. They decided to kick
Speaker 1: a forty eight yard field goal instead of going for
Speaker 1: it was no good. The Rams came back, scored, and
Speaker 1: then it was a sweat the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: Seattle still ended up getting it done, even though they
Speaker 1: had the most Matador defense ever at the end of
Speaker 1: that game and the Rams almost won it. Um out
Speaker 1: gained were the Seahawks in that game against the Rams
Speaker 1: four seventies seven or four twenty nine. I would imagine
Speaker 1: with them on extra rest, Cleveland short rest, barring some
Speaker 1: Cleveland in Cleveland play great last week against the Ravens,
Speaker 1: right so if they came out and played well again tonight,
Speaker 1: then I would change this. But right now, I would
Speaker 1: say Seattle, I'll split the difference between a three and
Speaker 1: a pick. I would say Seattle minus one and a half. Gil,
Speaker 1: I like your number better than what I see out
Speaker 1: there right now. I'm seeing Cleveland two and a half.
Speaker 1: Come on, are you serious? And I'm dead serious? And
Speaker 1: that you know, like I said, you know, common opponents
Speaker 1: always don't mean everything. In this or one week to
Speaker 1: the next, and that's really where a lot of people
Speaker 1: make their mistakes in the NFL. But if you look
Speaker 1: at Cleveland, I mean a lot of money is shown
Speaker 1: against them tonight, and I really thought three or three
Speaker 1: and a half was a pretty decent number to open
Speaker 1: with last week. Uh, you know, against Cleveland with forty nights.
Speaker 1: But Seattle, and I know they're they're known for their defense,
Speaker 1: and I know they've lost a lot of guys on defense,
Speaker 1: so it's not the same defense that will remember from
Speaker 1: just a couple of years back. They've lost a lot
Speaker 1: of people on defense. But Russell Wilson, this kid is
Speaker 1: still just amazing. And they also that Carson ran for
Speaker 1: a hundred eighteen yards for the Seahawks, so they their
Speaker 1: offense I think is really coming around. And then you
Speaker 1: can see that by the thirty points they posted against
Speaker 1: the Rams. But I think the offense is really coming around.
Speaker 1: Wilson is great, he has been from day one in
Speaker 1: this league. And Cleveland still a little bit up and down.
Speaker 1: I guess they expect them to be down tonight, but
Speaker 1: up next week. Then the number makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1: I really I see it all two and a half
Speaker 1: pretty much. Um, But I'm gonna open it too, and
Speaker 1: if I see it going lower, I'm gonna jump on
Speaker 1: that quickly because I think they got the wrong favorite
Speaker 1: in this game. It really do. And listen, I'm open
Speaker 1: to Cleveland shows up tonight and walks away with an
Speaker 1: outright victory. But Seattle, I have a lot of respect
Speaker 1: to them, and I know it is a big home
Speaker 1: field advantage for Seattle. So we see, you know, a
Speaker 1: bit of a different Seattle at home in Seattle on
Speaker 1: the road, but you know, extra rest, extra times to prepare, etcetera, etcetera. Well,
Speaker 1: I just see I think Seattle should be a slight
Speaker 1: favorite in this scheme. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't minimize that rest to extra rest, short rest. That's
Speaker 1: two games now where I think the wrong team is
Speaker 1: favored of the London game thus far being the other.
Speaker 1: We'll come back, we'll do more. So why we go
Speaker 1: through this week six guessing lines with Chris Andrews. It's
Speaker 1: a numbers game right here at Visa. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: a Numbers game with Jill Alexander. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: the Braves will start Terry Forster tonight. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's come up with? Whoever they want. Let's continue
Speaker 1: with week six guessing lines with Chrissie Andrews at Andrews Sports,
Speaker 1: the South Point Sports Book Director. What's next? Chris Houston
Speaker 1: at Kansas City? All right, So Kansas City loses yesterday
Speaker 1: outright to the Indianapolis Holts. Uh and they do so
Speaker 1: nineteen to thirteen as ten and a half point closing favorites.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest favorite that's lost out right this year,
Speaker 1: I believe? Is that true? Chris? I think so, if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. What was I can't think of one?
Speaker 1: What was Tampa Bay against the Rams last week? A
Speaker 1: little shy at nine enough? Yeah, so just a little shy.
Speaker 1: So I think that was the biggest upset of the
Speaker 1: year technically. Last night, Let's start with Houston Houston UM
Speaker 1: Houston beats Atlanta fifty three to thirty two, fifty three
Speaker 1: to thirty two. Listen to these stats from Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: twenty eight of thirty three for four hundred twenty six yards,
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, no picks, Maybe most importantly for him, sacked
Speaker 1: zero times, a perfect one fifty eight point three passer rating.
Speaker 1: I believe we've had three perfect passer ratings this year.
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson had one early in the season.
Speaker 1: I think Dak Scott had one. And this is DeShawn
Speaker 1: Watson against the Falcons l perfecto. The twenty eight of
Speaker 1: thirty three for four by the way, Will Fuller the fifth.
Speaker 1: UH fourteen catches for to seventeen three touchdowns by the way,
Speaker 1: he could have had a fourth, he just didn't reach
Speaker 1: the ball over. UH. The Texans were ten of thirteen
Speaker 1: on third downs. They gained five hundred and ninety two
Speaker 1: total yards of offense. That's the second most points the
Speaker 1: fifty three and franchise history. Watson becomes the first player
Speaker 1: in the NFL to throw at least for at least
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and five touchdowns with five in completions
Speaker 1: are fewer in a game in the history of the
Speaker 1: National Football League. That's how statistically historical that game was
Speaker 1: yesterday for Watson. And as I mentioned, the offensive line,
Speaker 1: which didn't allow us sack yesterday, had given up eighteen
Speaker 1: through the first four games, so that maybe more than
Speaker 1: anything is the most important thing. They kept DeShawn Watson
Speaker 1: off the ground and then there's Casey. We said they're
Speaker 1: the biggest favorite to go down this year. They did
Speaker 1: so to the Colts. The Colts allowed points on the
Speaker 1: Chief's first two possessions before shutting them out until Harrison
Speaker 1: Butker's field goal with one sixteen left in the game.
Speaker 1: Casey's record streak of twenty two straight game scoring at
Speaker 1: least twenty six points comes to a crashing halt. Chris
Speaker 1: Jones Xavier Williams, their d tackles, both lost to injuries.
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins went out in the first quarter as well.
Speaker 1: Mahomes sacked four times, hit plenty more. At one point,
Speaker 1: uh Cam Irving was pushed so far into him that
Speaker 1: um the that that Irving stepped on mahomes ankle uh
Speaker 1: Indianapolis used eight thirty four off the clock on one
Speaker 1: second half possession. That was the one that brought the
Speaker 1: game to sixteen to ten. Edited an Adam vinitary thirty
Speaker 1: five yard field goal. UM, no, no, excuse me. That
Speaker 1: was they moved thirty five yards. I'm sorry eight minutes
Speaker 1: and thirty four seconds. It took him to move thirty
Speaker 1: five yards. You gotta try to do that. Thirty five
Speaker 1: yard advanced in eight minutes and thirty four seconds. So
Speaker 1: they just dominated by the way. Chief's cornerback Brashawn bril
Speaker 1: In former redskin uh Ford, flags sixty eight yards him alone,
Speaker 1: including a fifty three yard pass interference call. But Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack was running through an eight lane highway through the
Speaker 1: Chiefs twenty nine carries one thirty two yards. This Chief's
Speaker 1: defense is not as good as the Chiefs defense was
Speaker 1: last year. It's worse. Uh And if Mahomes listen, if
Speaker 1: Mahomes doesn't have the weapons that he needs, he's gonna
Speaker 1: become sort of mere mortalist himself. All of that said,
Speaker 1: it's still the Chiefs, and if they get players back,
Speaker 1: I gotta say they're more than a touchdown, right, So
Speaker 1: minus seven and a half still because Houston is schizophrenic, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're a bit high. It's six or six and a half.
Speaker 1: I definitely like the high number, So I'm with you there,
Speaker 1: but I think you're a little high Thereably you were
Speaker 1: talking about Deshaun Watson and lookind of is qb or
Speaker 1: which is something I like to look at a little
Speaker 1: bit of a different slant on some of the same statistics.
Speaker 1: Point two man out of a hundred, I don't remember
Speaker 1: a bigger one this year. I mean, there maybe one
Speaker 1: out there, but I can't remember a higher one so far.
Speaker 1: But I mean, he was fantastic history. A lot of
Speaker 1: it did have to do with the offensive line. And
Speaker 1: you're talking about schizophrenic team and you just said Houston
Speaker 1: really comes out of that offensive line has been Uh,
Speaker 1: that's the schizophrenia right there. Because how many sacks did
Speaker 1: you say they've given up in the first four games?
Speaker 1: Eighteen or someone? Yeah, and yesterday zero. I mean, there
Speaker 1: was a team. Maybe they're coming together. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I have to see it to believe it. And
Speaker 1: that was one of those things yesterday. But I think
Speaker 1: really if you look at that game, and you know,
Speaker 1: Marlon Knack had a great game, and I thought Jacobe
Speaker 1: Present played well for Indianapolis, but really I think it
Speaker 1: was that offensive line that dominated that game and that's
Speaker 1: what enabled Indianapolis to walk away with an outright victory.
Speaker 1: Kansas City just could not defend against that offensive line,
Speaker 1: and I think can have the same trouble this week. Well,
Speaker 1: I think that's really the question right there. The Houston's
Speaker 1: offensive line plays well, and I think Houston's right in
Speaker 1: this team that they don't, and I think Mahomes kind
Speaker 1: of has his way with this team and puts up
Speaker 1: some numbers. And even though I know a lot of
Speaker 1: it was garbage time and all that, but Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: still ahead to out of the third yards to retouched
Speaker 1: on no interceptions. So they put up some numbers against
Speaker 1: this Texans defense. So I like the six and a half.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll go anywhere without a bet on
Speaker 1: this one. That he's six six and a half. I
Speaker 1: think your number is a little bit too high. But
Speaker 1: between the two numbers that I see, I'd like to
Speaker 1: hire one. So I think you're on the right track there. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: let's take a break. Let's talk baseball next. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: We'll resume Week six guessing lines. I know the Redskins
Speaker 1: are coming, I got things to say, and I know
Speaker 1: they're playing the Dolphins, so that should be fun. We'll
Speaker 1: guess that one among others. Um who has to buy
Speaker 1: by the way, beside Chicago and the Raiders who were

Speaker 1: out with us UM for guessing lines before we resume
Speaker 1: Week six guessing lines because we got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: more games to get to. As far as the quadruple
Speaker 1: header today in baseball, Chris, you've had a week obviously
Speaker 1: for folks, not only a week, but really they could
Speaker 1: have bet this game even in the off season, the
Speaker 1: Browns and the Niners tonight. What do you think the
Speaker 1: total handle of these four baseball games at the south point?
Speaker 1: What percentage of the handle of the game tonight? In football,
Speaker 1: do we get to no no for yeah, And I'd
Speaker 1: be shocked if they've got I'm looking right now, we've
Speaker 1: got we actually have some pretty decent money on their
Speaker 1: where hash for today's game. But we got a long
Speaker 1: way Togo. There's a lot of you know, guys are
Speaker 1: gonna be coming in and out, and that's to do.
Speaker 1: Great thing about Dave Baseball is it brings brings customers
Speaker 1: into the sports board, you know, throughout the day, and
Speaker 1: of course this is day baseball on steroids with yes
Speaker 1: it is, you know, with four playoff games, you know,
Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to a really good handle. But
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, to remember, this is a Monday night game.
Speaker 1: I told you we had a couple of fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollar in bets on the forty niners, and if we
Speaker 1: got I'd be shocked. You know. I mean to be
Speaker 1: very happy, probably, but I don't see that happening. Does
Speaker 1: seem a little ambitious given the time, Yeah, the time
Speaker 1: constraints on these games, and obviously the uh, the bets
Speaker 1: you mentioned in this game on Monday night football. All right,
Speaker 1: let us let us resume Week six because I know
Speaker 1: we got a whole bunch of more games to get to.
Speaker 1: Or what's next New Orleans at Jacksonville, New Orleans and Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: New Orleans. We mentioned with the touchdown win over the
Speaker 1: Buccaneers yesterday, Jacksonville UH loses to Carolina by a touchdown
Speaker 1: at Carolina Gardner Minshew though I still you know, look,
Speaker 1: I get aboard the Gardner Minshew train twenty six of
Speaker 1: fourty four in defeat, three seventy four yards, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. But he had a little fumblitis yesterday, a
Speaker 1: little case of the drop seas he fumbled three times
Speaker 1: Leondard four nette for one oh eight in a touchdown,
Speaker 1: d J Shark eight for one sixty four two touchdowns
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars put up five hundred and seven total
Speaker 1: yards of offense in defeat, but they were minus three
Speaker 1: in turnovers, and as it always is the case, or
Speaker 1: almost always, that's really the story as far as the Saints,
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater twenty six of thirty four for three fourteen,
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, one pick, never sacked. He's four and o
Speaker 1: now as a starter in New Orleans. In his first
Speaker 1: eleven quarters this year, which included two victories as a starter,
Speaker 1: he hadn't completed a pass as long as thirty yards Yesterday,
Speaker 1: first quarter against the Bucks thirty four yard to Thomas,
Speaker 1: Then he hit Thomas later for a four two yard
Speaker 1: or early in the second half that set up a
Speaker 1: thirty three yarder too ted Kin. So he was all
Speaker 1: over the place yesterday in a good way. Teddy Bridgewater.
Speaker 1: Tom has finished with eleven catches for one two two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and the Saints were eight of fifteen on third downs.
Speaker 1: They outgained the Buccaneers four fifty seven to two fifty two.
Speaker 1: So uh, perhaps the scoreboard wasn't exactly indicative of the
Speaker 1: nature of that game. New Orleans and Jacksonville. I will say,
Speaker 1: now this is Bridgewater still, Jeff, not Breeze still. But
Speaker 1: even though Breeze took his first throws this past week,
Speaker 1: I'll say New Orleans by two and a half. On
Speaker 1: the road here, Chris, uh, it's pick or I see
Speaker 1: some Saints one, but almost entirely picked. I like the
Speaker 1: Saints one myself. But you know one thing that if
Speaker 1: you look at the q v R, I could say
Speaker 1: this one more thing that I like to look at,
Speaker 1: just a different way of looking at the same stats.
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was and the fumbles had something to do
Speaker 1: with that. I was that an abiration. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd have to look through and see a little more closely.
Speaker 1: But he didn't protect the ball well yesterday. As for sure,
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing the interceptions, but he did fumble a
Speaker 1: couple of times, and that hurts QBR and really kind
Speaker 1: of hurt the Jags a little bit too. But you know, Teddy,
Speaker 1: I've gone on record, I've loved Teddy from day one.
Speaker 1: That knee injury is really, you know, taking a lot
Speaker 1: out of his career. But yesterday he looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: Is that poor ten better future for this kid? You know,
Speaker 1: I certainly hope so. But I think New Orleans is, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, coming into form a little bit. Their defense,
Speaker 1: which I thought was very good so far this year,
Speaker 1: wasn't that great yesterday, but it was okay. But I
Speaker 1: like the one better. You liked it even a little
Speaker 1: bit higher. But I'm gonna open New Orleans one, um,
Speaker 1: you know, but I think there's gonna be a well
Speaker 1: bed game. It's a pretty interesting game. Remember when Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridgewater decided to stay in back up Drew Brees instead
Speaker 1: of taking a starting job Atammy and people gave him,
Speaker 1: gave him some fla for that. Looks like a pretty
Speaker 1: genius maneuver right now, Like just with the difference in oneiza, yeah,
Speaker 1: in seven million, to be the backup to a part
Speaker 1: of year old quarterback. I mean, some day breathing gonna
Speaker 1: be too old and have to retire, you know. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Teddy is the quarterback of the future
Speaker 1: down there. I don't know, but he looked pretty good yesterday.
Speaker 1: And I tell you what, if he could regain that form.
Speaker 1: He had a Louisville in his first couple of years
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. I mean, he would be a very good
Speaker 1: option for this long term uh, for for the Saints,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, And and I don't know, but it is
Speaker 1: a commentary on making a decision based on organization, right,
Speaker 1: the difference between the Saints organization and that of the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: And so you know, he got a lot of flak
Speaker 1: for that, but good for him, Good for him where
Speaker 1: he ended up. And we'll see Drew Brees uh sooner
Speaker 1: than later, and Teddy will be waiting in the wings.
Speaker 1: Anything else goes down, what's next? Yeah, speaking of Lady
Speaker 1: on Bell, all about that for a decision based on organization,
Speaker 1: We'll get to Philadelphia in Minnesota. Philadelphia, Minnesota, all right.
Speaker 1: Let we'll just let me just start here. This has
Speaker 1: to be Minnesota minus three. I'm guessing, um, two good teams,
Speaker 1: It is three? It is three? Yes, okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, I mean that that was
Speaker 1: kind of my thinking here. Philadelphia outgained the Jets yesterday
Speaker 1: to sixty five to one. In other words, to sixty
Speaker 1: five not that good for the Eagles, but the Jets
Speaker 1: are so bad at football one. So Philadelphia and their
Speaker 1: big win over the big by in terms of margin
Speaker 1: thirty one to six win over the Jets yesterday as
Speaker 1: fourteen point favorites. That was one of my circuit picks.
Speaker 1: U Nate Jerry returned to the interception for a score.
Speaker 1: Orlando Scandrick took a strip sack the distance for the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia d Eagles, first team in NFL history to record
Speaker 1: ten sacks and score two defensive touchdowns in a single game.
Speaker 1: More history. Yesterday in the NFL, Luke Falk didn't get
Speaker 1: any snaps with the starters until Friday. That's very curious
Speaker 1: to me. Luke Falk didn't get any snaps with the
Speaker 1: starters until Friday in practice last week because the Jets
Speaker 1: hope that Sam Donald would be cleared to play from
Speaker 1: the mononucleosis. Don't you have a contingency plan though, where
Speaker 1: you're letting Luke Falk play with the starters. That seems
Speaker 1: very odd to me. Minnesota and their win against the Giants,
Speaker 1: which you already talked about. Kirk Cousins twenty two of
Speaker 1: twenty seven for three oh six, two touchdowns, no pick.
Speaker 1: That in his return from feeling Gate and Dig's Gate,
Speaker 1: where they were complaining about not getting the ball Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook though, twenty one for one thirty two. Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: getting it done feeling for his part seven catches, one
Speaker 1: thirty yards, two touchdowns. They outgained the Giants did the Vikings,
Speaker 1: as we pointed out, four ninety to two eleven, four
Speaker 1: two eleven, and they did so while getting penalized twelve
Speaker 1: times for a hundred and twelve yards. They took a
Speaker 1: knee as I mentioned inside the New York five to
Speaker 1: end the game, so it could have been worse. The
Speaker 1: defense also got a safety. They chipped in with that.
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey four field goals and forty five yards UM.
Speaker 1: So Vikings by three, and you said it is Vikings
Speaker 1: by three. Good game. That's probably the best matchup we've
Speaker 1: had so far. That's a terrific one. Yeah, but back
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, Carson went not great stats, but again
Speaker 1: I look at qb R it's a different way of
Speaker 1: looking at things. Eighty nine point six so an excellent
Speaker 1: game in the sense that to br tries to uh
Speaker 1: statistically evaluate a quarterback on what he does to help
Speaker 1: his team win the game. And I think that's right there.
Speaker 1: Tells you they didn't have to do that much to
Speaker 1: win the game against the Jets, and uh, we will
Speaker 1: get to the Jets a little later, I guess. But well,
Speaker 1: and what a franchise said is but I think Went
Speaker 1: is coming around. I mean, he's obviously had some injuries
Speaker 1: over the years. He seems to get to knocked an
Speaker 1: awful lot, even though he was certainly in the m
Speaker 1: v P discussion a couple of years back. But he's
Speaker 1: he's pretty darn good quarterback. Is a pretty good team
Speaker 1: saying that could say from Minnesota. But yeah, this has
Speaker 1: to be three and I think this will be Uh,
Speaker 1: certainly one of the marquee games for the weekend were
Speaker 1: in the afternoon games. Yet Chris are one more early,
Speaker 1: one more one? All right? What's that? Oh? Here it
Speaker 1: comes Washington at Miami. Oh do we have like a
Speaker 1: we have like music to play behind that announcement? Washington
Speaker 1: and Miami. Oh? In five verses, oh and four, guess
Speaker 1: what Redskins? You're the oen five. So those for those
Speaker 1: who missed it this morning, Dan Graziano was the first
Speaker 1: person to reported over the ESPN the Redskins fired head
Speaker 1: coach Jake Gruden. We mentioned that at the top this
Speaker 1: was of no surprise to anybody, uh, the least of
Speaker 1: which to Jay Gruden. By the way, Gruden ends his
Speaker 1: Redskins tenure thirty five forty nine in one over five
Speaker 1: plus seasons in Washington. I mentioned it earlier. The only
Speaker 1: reason he went past two years is because at the
Speaker 1: time Daniel Snyder. The knock on Daniel Snyder was oh,
Speaker 1: you keep cycling through coaches Niel Side. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll show him, I'll hire this, I'll extend this mediocre
Speaker 1: head coach. I'll prove him wrong. Uh So listen, I'm
Speaker 1: no Jay Gruden fan. I think he was a terrible
Speaker 1: in game coach. I don't think he was particularly bright
Speaker 1: in press conferences the way he handled stuff. So I
Speaker 1: am no Ja Gruden fan, and I'm happy that you know.
Speaker 1: I'm nonplussed by his departure as a guy who grew
Speaker 1: up on the Redskins. But let me just say this, Um,
Speaker 1: this goes way beyond Jay Bruden. This goes right to
Speaker 1: the top if you listen to the whole In case
Speaker 1: you missed visa last week stuff, I add my Redskin
Speaker 1: rant last week about about being growing up a Redskin
Speaker 1: fan and what it is hard to express to people again,
Speaker 1: how beloved. This team was by those of us who
Speaker 1: grew up in that area of the country. It was
Speaker 1: a matter of civic pride. Three super Bowl titles in
Speaker 1: eleven years, span from the eight two season to season
Speaker 1: through the season, and you grew up with Joe Gibbs
Speaker 1: as your head coach. And what a wonderful thing this
Speaker 1: was to have. It was a Washington, d c. Is
Speaker 1: not a sports town. It was a redskin town. And
Speaker 1: before Joe Gibbs two point oh there was a withering
Speaker 1: away of that in the first part of Daniel Snyder's
Speaker 1: tenure as an owner. But when Joe Gibbs came back,
Speaker 1: there was a four year rest of it, and it
Speaker 1: was like the sort of it wiped away. It was
Speaker 1: like a band aid for what was happening then. And
Speaker 1: by the way, they made the playoffs twice in those
Speaker 1: four years. Ever since then, by the way, the Spurrier
Speaker 1: two years before that was the biggest joke of them all.
Speaker 1: But this is a it is again, this is something
Speaker 1: that was beloved by people. It has gone from something
Speaker 1: beloved to something that people not only are apathetic about,
Speaker 1: but in some cases want the worst for. And Daniel
Speaker 1: Snyder it is run from the top. And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: if you're a Redskin fan, you don't care where this
Speaker 1: guy ends up. You don't you you will curse him
Speaker 1: because there are so many things he's done from a
Speaker 1: human perspective beyond football that is just so egregious. How
Speaker 1: you can take something that is so great to people
Speaker 1: and make it this way. Uh? And if and if
Speaker 1: you're wondering you know why the sort of passion comes from,
Speaker 1: just let me take it beyond this and you decide.
Speaker 1: First of all, you have a team name, and I
Speaker 1: know this is politicized, you have a team name that
Speaker 1: has no real place in this country, in sports or otherwise,
Speaker 1: that is still there, and he said he will never
Speaker 1: change it. We can disagree about that. Fine, let's move
Speaker 1: on to something else. He charged people to get in
Speaker 1: training camp. Okay, that might not bother you. What about
Speaker 1: the fact that The New York Times reported that he
Speaker 1: had Redskin cheerleaders going on a trip to Costa Rica
Speaker 1: for sponsors and for sweet owners, and those cheerleaders ended
Speaker 1: up topless. There's a misogynistic element that he doesn't care about.
Speaker 1: I can go on. Here's one more, and I think
Speaker 1: we all can agree on this nine eleven. What did
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder do after nine eleven? He immediately impost a
Speaker 1: security charge to ticket prices. This is a bad dude,
Speaker 1: only cares about himself, who ruined something that people loved.
Speaker 1: So the fact that they're oh and five and they're
Speaker 1: firing Jay Gruden is like moving the chairs on the Titanic.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, and they're gonna botch the next coaching search.
Speaker 1: By the way, Bill Callahan is your interim coach, former
Speaker 1: head coach of the Raiders who, by the way, ended
Speaker 1: in mutiny with the Raiders, former head coach at Nebraska.
Speaker 1: He's the interim coach. Yesterday, Redskins took a seven and
Speaker 1: nothing lead. By the way, on a betting perspective, you
Speaker 1: had a prop that cash here on the Redskins scoring
Speaker 1: first prison Yeah yeah, well, I mean I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: it one and a few guys had the red I
Speaker 1: don't know if they were the longest shot on the
Speaker 1: board actually look, but there were certainly one of the
Speaker 1: longest shots in the board. So the TV guys had
Speaker 1: a couple of bucks on seven and nothing leading on
Speaker 1: a fluke play, and uh no one was fooled. Colt
Speaker 1: McCoy eighteen of twenty seven for one, nineteen, no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick, sacked six times, uh seventy five passing yards
Speaker 1: when you factor all the sacks in. They were out
Speaker 1: first down by the Patriots twenty three to eleven. The
Speaker 1: FedEx Field was overrun by Patriots fans. It is not
Speaker 1: an exception for that to happen at FedEx Field. That's
Speaker 1: the apathy. I told you. The entire generation of Redskin
Speaker 1: season ticket holders were bequeathed these season tickets as a
Speaker 1: family heirloom. The Redskins season ticket list was generations long.
Speaker 1: People did not want to give up their tickets out
Speaker 1: of respect for their parents and their grandparents. Everybody. In
Speaker 1: the last three years, everybody that I know has willingly
Speaker 1: given them up. They've had it. One for eleven on
Speaker 1: third down yesterday they were outgained by the Patriots four
Speaker 1: forty two to two twenty John Jay Gruden out, Bill
Speaker 1: Callahan interim coach, and all of that said, after all
Speaker 1: of that, at Miami, the team that's trying to lose,
Speaker 1: I think the Redskins a three point road favorites. You're
Speaker 1: a little lights three and a half. You can't give
Speaker 1: him a hook. You can't give him a hook on
Speaker 1: top of that. Really, come on, Yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I see Solid three and a half. I just don't,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna be with the market
Speaker 1: on this game because I just don't want to best
Speaker 1: with the two. I don't want to don't want to
Speaker 1: go into Sunday morning and need anybody in this game
Speaker 1: for anything substantial. But that was a great brand on
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder. And I would just tell anybody out there,
Speaker 1: if you're interested this, go google Daniel Snyder. And what
Speaker 1: he did to this franchise is absolutely ridiculous, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean, he owns it.
Speaker 1: I guess you just can't throw him out of the
Speaker 1: lead for the hell of it. But I think that
Speaker 1: they would all love to. He's not a very well
Speaker 1: liked or respected person, which you can see, but go
Speaker 1: see some of the other things he's done, like stuff
Speaker 1: like cutting down trees that blocked blocked his view. But
Speaker 1: we're part of the ancient Washington culture, all yeah, all
Speaker 1: sorts of I mean, he is an absolutely despicable human
Speaker 1: being in every sense of the word. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't think of one good thing about this guy, but
Speaker 1: go google it and think a look deal, just what
Speaker 1: Gil said was the tip of the ice. Folks, google
Speaker 1: google Dan Snyder's six flags if you want to, also
Speaker 1: if you want to find out more about him. Just
Speaker 1: an awful guy. Yeah, okay, you know, I try not
Speaker 1: to get personal with all this stuff, and there's there's
Speaker 1: really not too many teams that root against, you know,
Speaker 1: but this is one that I mean, you just can't
Speaker 1: help but root against Daniel Snyder's. I mean, he made
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones looked like a humanitarian, you know. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I I you know. But anyway, getting back
Speaker 1: to the number during as when I'm gonna open, I'm
Speaker 1: surprised there's a hook involved. I do think the Redskins
Speaker 1: should be favored as the o N five team on
Speaker 1: the road at minus three because the Dolphins are just
Speaker 1: historically bad and are trying to lose um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it is personal to me. Obviously, it's personal to me
Speaker 1: because it was something so beloved that turned into something
Speaker 1: so awful by one man's actions. By the way, Bruce
Speaker 1: Allen is a stooge. Also, Jay Gruden first coach to
Speaker 1: be fired three to one. It cashes in far away places.
Speaker 1: He was the short shot. UM, and I guess, dan Quinn,
Speaker 1: you're on You're on the clock, dan Quinn, Atlanta Falcon,
Speaker 1: you're on the clock. Probably dan Quinn, by the way,
Speaker 1: was twelve to one in that same market offshore. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Falcons when we get to them.
Speaker 1: We'll come back Week six Guessing lines with Chris Andrews
Speaker 1: the O and five Redskins three point road favorites at
Speaker 1: by Amember three and a half, for God's sakes, three
Speaker 1: and a half unbelievable. We gotta look at the the
Speaker 1: animals to see if if that's been a If an
Speaker 1: Owen five team has ever been a three and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite on the road against anybody in the
Speaker 1: history of the National Football League, that should be something
Speaker 1: to look up. We'll come back Christie's standing by guessing
Speaker 1: lines Week six in the NFL Keep it Right Here
Speaker 1: game with Pi Alexander back up the numbers game. As
Speaker 1: the man said, right here visa the BIGGA Stats and
Speaker 1: Information Network Serious XM Channel two oh four. We get
Speaker 1: tweets and beating the book. Chris Felika, friend of show,
Speaker 1: friend of network, Friend in general. I nominate Guilt for
Speaker 1: the job talk about the Redskins. Thank you, I accept,
Speaker 1: I will take the job. John Murray. A subsequent tweet
Speaker 1: says John Murray should be assistant GM. I nominate John
Speaker 1: Murray's COGM. Let's get this done, by the way. David Chang,
Speaker 1: the famous Korean American chef and restaurant tour who is
Speaker 1: famous for the Momofuku restaurants around the country, specifically or
Speaker 1: mainly in New York City. I grew up a Redskin
Speaker 1: fan in the Washington, DC area. He once started a
Speaker 1: Kickstarter campaign Jeff to buy the Redskins. That's phenomenal because
Speaker 1: of Daniel Snyder. Kickstarter told him to knock it off,
Speaker 1: said stop doing that. I was all. I was emptying
Speaker 1: my bank account as he as he started the Kickstarter campaign.
Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody for the for the the tweets all.
Speaker 1: Here's one best breakdown on Snyder and Redskins that I've
Speaker 1: ever heard in The Total Truth. That's Burt Coin's eighteen
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Sorry I had to go through that.
Speaker 1: So you're saying you're not a Daniel Snyder fan, Cowboys
Speaker 1: Underscore Cubs one just looking for some clarification here because
Speaker 1: you don't seem crystal clear. Uh. And then New York
Speaker 1: mess sixteen love the Redskins ran, But I can counter
Speaker 1: with New York Nicks and Jim Dolan. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna argue with you. Here's one gaming today, our pal
Speaker 1: Chrissie Andrews on the Numbers game. Daniel Snyder makes Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones look like a humanitarian. Well said, let's bring Christie
Speaker 1: back in. Here's Chris Andrews. Ladies and gentlemen. You can
Speaker 1: follow Chris at Andrew's Sports on Twitter. He's the author
Speaker 1: of Then One Day Um, a book available at Amazon
Speaker 1: and wherever books are are sold. And of course his
Speaker 1: day job South Point Sports Book. Uh. Director Chris um
Speaker 1: hoping to get you back here sometime soon. What's that
Speaker 1: looking like? Well, you know right now. I mean there's
Speaker 1: nothing stopping me yet from being released on October twenties
Speaker 1: that I know of. But I have have a long
Speaker 1: day with doctors today. As soon as I get done
Speaker 1: with this show. At a matter of fact, I'm heading
Speaker 1: up to the hospital. It is only like a block
Speaker 1: or two away, and but I got a long day.
Speaker 1: I got like three sep or four separate doctors visits today,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. So far and so good is what
Speaker 1: they tell me. But you know, it's an ever changing situation. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's been good so far, but there's there's
Speaker 1: definitely a few issues we're still looking to appen. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: and you have you have a long day, and you're
Speaker 1: still kind enough to join us and do this and
Speaker 1: listen to me, listen to me rant about random people.
Speaker 1: So thank you, really from the bottom of our home.
Speaker 1: Random people. We all hate Daniel Snyder and find a
Speaker 1: human on earth, but like Daniel Snyder, probably missus. Daniel
Speaker 1: Snyder would love the dump the guy, you know. But
Speaker 1: that's our that's our business. That's that's right. All right.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with week six guessing lines again, a couple
Speaker 1: of wrong teams favorite I think up strange lines. Um
Speaker 1: I was. I had so much conviction last week and
Speaker 1: it worked out with the four and one record, Uh
Speaker 1: finally showed up for these contests. Four and one A
Speaker 1: t S. The Bears got me. We'll see how we
Speaker 1: want to review the is after the show, but let's
Speaker 1: do the rest of them. What's next? These are afternoon games.
Speaker 1: Now we're in the afternoon. Now, okay, San Francisco at
Speaker 1: the l A Rams all right in San Francisco hasn't played.
Speaker 1: They got the Browns tonight, their five point favorites. Christy's
Speaker 1: telling me they're taking all kinds of bets on the
Speaker 1: Niners tonight. Niners are three and oh. Currently they'll either
Speaker 1: be three and one or four and oh them barring
Speaker 1: a tie after tonight. The Rams are gonna have extra rest.
Speaker 1: The Niners are gonna have short rest. Same thing with
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Uh, isn't that interesting that the Seahawks get
Speaker 1: the Browns and that they and that the Niners get there,
Speaker 1: and that the Rams get the Niners. Um, that's interesting
Speaker 1: and Rams get him at home. By the way, Jared
Speaker 1: Goff Thursday night, one touchdown, one pick and defeat Everett
Speaker 1: was his big target seven of one thirty six. So
Speaker 1: was Cooper Cup nine for one seventeen touchdown. Girly though,
Speaker 1: that's the story with the Rams, right load management, fifteen carries,
Speaker 1: fifty one yards, two touchdowns. I'll say the Rams by
Speaker 1: four and a half, just to throw it out there again,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen the Niners yet. Yeah, you're right on.
Speaker 1: I see four and four and a half. I like
Speaker 1: a little bit of a higher number better. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: depending certainly on how San Francisco looks nice. But it
Speaker 1: was the extra rest from one side, short rest for
Speaker 1: the other side. Uh, you know, a travel, but I
Speaker 1: mean not particularly tough travel one from Santraisco to l A.
Speaker 1: But still a travel and you're not playing in front
Speaker 1: of your home fans. I'm not sure why the NFL
Speaker 1: did this. It just seems like some I don't know,
Speaker 1: some some quirk and scheduling that was not well thought out.
Speaker 1: That us been my opinion. Um, But anyway, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open with four and apple. I'm gonna be on a
Speaker 1: little bit of the high side here, but I see
Speaker 1: four and four and a half. I like the poor
Speaker 1: and half better. I am proud of myself for that one.
Speaker 1: Nailed that one four and a half on the Rams.
Speaker 1: But again, we haven't seen the Niners tonight, so uh,
Speaker 1: that story has not been written quite yet in completion.
Speaker 1: What's next? Atlanta at Arizona? Man another barn burner Atlanta one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If it weren't for the for the Redskins and the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: this would be the laughing stock game. Atlanta's one in four.
Speaker 1: Arizona's won three and one. Atlanta loses, as we mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 1: to Houston fifty three to thirty two. Dan Quinn, you're
Speaker 1: on the clock. Arizona gets their first win under Cliff Kingsbury.
Speaker 1: There won three and one. As you mentioned, Let's start
Speaker 1: with Atlanta. As you mentioned in defeat, Matt Ryan philled
Speaker 1: up statue he always does, thirty two of forty six
Speaker 1: for three, thirty three touchdowns and a pick. Atlanta loses
Speaker 1: their third straight game. Kyler Murray for the Cardinals twenty
Speaker 1: of thirty two for two fifty three, no touchdowns, no picks,
Speaker 1: but he got one touchdown on the ground in this game.
Speaker 1: He was ten for ninety three rushing and on that
Speaker 1: last drive Cincinnati scored two touchdown late tie this game up.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati looked like they were left for dead. They come
Speaker 1: back all the way to tie this but Cardinals have
Speaker 1: the ball late. Murray throws a twenty four yard pass
Speaker 1: which was perfect right down the sideline. Two plays later,
Speaker 1: He's rambles for another twenty four yards to get Arizona
Speaker 1: in position for a Zane Gonzalez thirty one yard field goal.
Speaker 1: On the final play. He gets it done. Three, they
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals Cardinals first win. As I mentioned, under Kingsbury,
Speaker 1: Murray had been sacked a league high twenty times, but
Speaker 1: only was sacked once yesterday. Um and he outgained the
Speaker 1: Bengals in the first half himself. He ran for forty
Speaker 1: eight yards, including a first half touchdown through for one
Speaker 1: nine as the Cardinals outgained the Bengals to seventy two
Speaker 1: to ninety five undred and fourteen total yards of offense
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals in this game. They did have twelve
Speaker 1: penalties for ninety six yards. They gotta clean that up.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I don't think anybody thinks the
Speaker 1: Cardinals are good. This is a real perception game. To me, Chris,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks the Cardinals are any good
Speaker 1: even with that win yesterday. And I still think that
Speaker 1: with the Falcons at one and four, that people think
Speaker 1: they're actually good, like that they have it in them
Speaker 1: to be good. Right. That's it's a total perception difference.
Speaker 1: And therefore I think Atlanta is not only gonna be
Speaker 1: a favorite in this game. Not only do I think
Speaker 1: that there'll be a three point favorite, I think they'll
Speaker 1: be more than the three point favorite on the road.
Speaker 1: I would say four and a half on the road
Speaker 1: at Arizona. You're way high on this one. I see
Speaker 1: one and a half and two in Atlanta the faith.
Speaker 1: I like the hire that. You know. I've been kind
Speaker 1: of against Murray against their coach Kingsburny, But you know, Atlanta,
Speaker 1: I think you kind of nailed it there. We expect
Speaker 1: that Atlanta would be good. We think they have the
Speaker 1: tools and the hells to be good. They just have
Speaker 1: not put it together yet. And I'm looking at Arizona.
Speaker 1: Uh they had There was in my notes that they
Speaker 1: had two sixty eight yards rushing yesterday and Murray did
Speaker 1: have his best game was his qb art, which is
Speaker 1: very good. As president. Is that high to be honest
Speaker 1: with Uh? They they don't get to play the Bengal
Speaker 1: defense every week, but they are playing the Atlanta There's
Speaker 1: no bar. Yeah that is this a horrible, horrible defense.
Speaker 1: I do think you're way high on this one. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open two of the of the numbers out there.
Speaker 1: I do like the higher, but I'm not going to
Speaker 1: go all the way with three with this game because
Speaker 1: I think there is a lot of perception, mostly negative
Speaker 1: on both sides, but a little more positive. I do
Speaker 1: believe in Atlanta, but uh, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: this is gonna be. I hope I don't need anybody
Speaker 1: here for a fortune come come Sunday, because to tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, I needed both losers. I needed Atlanta
Speaker 1: pretty good yesterday and I needed I needed to beat Arizonia.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be in a position to
Speaker 1: either one of those come Sunday. That that was one
Speaker 1: of those where am I guessing that I had to
Speaker 1: remind myself. Am I guessing what I think the line's
Speaker 1: gonna be or what I think it'll be, like what
Speaker 1: I think it should be, what I think it will be.
Speaker 1: And I was guessing what I thought it would be,
Speaker 1: and I was wrong about that. I thought minus four
Speaker 1: and a half, and you're saying it's minus two and
Speaker 1: a half, minus one and a half. You said, what
Speaker 1: is it? Okay, Atlanta minus two here at the South
Speaker 1: Point Hotel Casito. So I went over the three and
Speaker 1: beyond on that one. Interesting, all right, Let's do another.
Speaker 1: Dallas at the Jets, Dallas at the Jets um So,
Speaker 1: Dallas has beaten Miami. The Redskins and the Giants, and
Speaker 1: then then when they played New Orleans and Green Bay
Speaker 1: they got punched in the mouth. So they're three and two.
Speaker 1: DAC though again yesterday forty four for four sixty three.
Speaker 1: It's like we're playing a cartoon with all these numbers
Speaker 1: today forty four sixty three, two touchdowns, three picks, sack
Speaker 1: three times a Maori Cooper eleven for two twenty six
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. By the way, the four sixty three
Speaker 1: for DAC the for Cooper both career highs gallop at
Speaker 1: it seven catches for a hundred thirteen touchdown. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: had five hundred and sixty three total yards in defeat.
Speaker 1: They lost the Packers by the way yesterday thirty four
Speaker 1: to twenty four in a game that wasn't that close
Speaker 1: quite frankly, Uh, Cowboys were three point favorites. Packers led
Speaker 1: seventeen to nothing at the half. It was really a
Speaker 1: story about Cowboys turnovers. Uh. Prescott had never lost a
Speaker 1: previous game and throwing for more than two seventy five yards,
Speaker 1: and again he threw for four sixty three. They lose this.
Speaker 1: Cowboys were minus three in turnovers, including the first drive.
Speaker 1: They were matriculating down the field Prescott to Cooper, bounces
Speaker 1: off Cooper right into the hands of Jayre Alexander and
Speaker 1: had shifted the game right from the outset um eleven
Speaker 1: penalties a hundred twenty four yards for the Cowboys as well.
Speaker 1: That isn't cool, but they get the Jets. And the
Speaker 1: Jets who one of my picks were was the Eagles
Speaker 1: yesterday and again for those who are like what you
Speaker 1: picked the Patriots in the Eagles, how square are you?
Speaker 1: You better figure out that the Jets are horrible without
Speaker 1: Sam Donald especially, and that the Redskins had no shot
Speaker 1: again the Patriots. But anyway, back to the Jets. Re
Speaker 1: sid FULK fifteen of twenty six for one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty yards. It's your Jets, Jeffrey Parlay, bring into this
Speaker 1: falk one twenty no touchdowns, two picks. The Jets were
Speaker 1: sacked ten times for fifty nine yards by the Eagles,
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight total yards of offense the Jets.
Speaker 1: Now here you go fifty four consecutive possessions by opponents
Speaker 1: inside the red zone in which the opponent has scored,
Speaker 1: not necessarily a touchdown, but fifty four in a row.
Speaker 1: Touchdown or field goal? Fifty four your Jets? Why why
Speaker 1: should I be surprised by any of this? Someone racked
Speaker 1: that me, screaming fifty four Jets have two touchdowns in
Speaker 1: four games? Is that good? The Jets went twelve straight
Speaker 1: quarters without an offensive touchdown before they got to score yesterday.
Speaker 1: That was the longest streak in the league since the
Speaker 1: Titans went fort straight quarters without a touchdown in offensive touchdown,
Speaker 1: that is so. What I'm saying is the Jets aren't good.
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys get another patsy opponent. We gotta figure
Speaker 1: it's Donald here, who knows who knows right? But probably
Speaker 1: I mean Cowboys. I'm gonna say Cowboys minus ten and
Speaker 1: a half on the road. Chris, you're a little light.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're a little heavy. It's eight and a
Speaker 1: half and nine. Give me the Cowboys open and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open and night than kind of on this QBR thing.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of always going there. You know what, folks? Oh, no,
Speaker 1: what one man, Jeff, But I don't remember in my
Speaker 1: first time where to get the one point eight. I
Speaker 1: can't believe it wasn't zero. He was he was terrible.
Speaker 1: But can you're not give him any snap say, you
Speaker 1: know when they find me, it's crazy, right, I tweeted out.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doctor in the world that would
Speaker 1: have signed off on Sam Donald playing when his spleen
Speaker 1: is at risk, That's right. I mean, no doctor is
Speaker 1: gonna sign off on They didn't come on and unfortunately
Speaker 1: know a little bit more about medicine that I wish
Speaker 1: I ever did. But I mean, they're just never going
Speaker 1: to go into something like that. And I mean, you
Speaker 1: know the risk involved. It could get multiple millions, you
Speaker 1: risk and internal Oregon. It's crazy. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But you know, I can't believe Adam Gays didn't know that,
Speaker 1: and I thought were even some of the Jets mans
Speaker 1: are calling for him to be fired four games into
Speaker 1: his career. You know, here's the thing with Luke Falk
Speaker 1: didn't get any staff still Friday. That's kind of a
Speaker 1: fireball offense, isn't it. I mean, like one thing is
Speaker 1: not but that that should be added the list when
Speaker 1: they do if they do well, Like I said, who
Speaker 1: who you had to suspect that a doctor would not
Speaker 1: sign off on this? I mean, come on, now, you
Speaker 1: don't have to be a genius. But I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: on the high end here. You said ten and a half,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use mine. But I like you know, and
Speaker 1: I think he had a really good point. This is
Speaker 1: the kind of team that Dallas just beat up on.
Speaker 1: And they will beat up on this team, especially after
Speaker 1: coming off a couple of losses. You know, they'll they'll
Speaker 1: love to run it up here and maybe that Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones humanitarian thing that I was mentioning might go out
Speaker 1: the window, you know, But they'll wind it up on
Speaker 1: the Jets if they can. Luke Falk, if he's the quarterback,
Speaker 1: ten and a half is too low, my guess, my
Speaker 1: guess of tenant to have is too low. Um. And yes,
Speaker 1: you recover from mono nucleosis, boys and girls, but the
Speaker 1: spleen in a contact sport, if something happens to that,
Speaker 1: you are at risk of your of your life. So
Speaker 1: you can't do that. So we'll see if it's Donald,
Speaker 1: we'll see if it's Falk. Fails even gotten the game,
Speaker 1: did he not? Jeff? Wow? Uh, he got sacked. He
Speaker 1: got sacked too. That was the tenth sack of the
Speaker 1: ten he got sacked. Do we have one more? Game
Speaker 1: that's not primetime, Chris Yeah. Tennessee at Denver, Tennessee at Denver,
Speaker 1: Denver gets off the schneide Denver in one of those
Speaker 1: two blowout afternoon games that the NFL was so genius
Speaker 1: or only giving us two afternoon games. Denver gets done.
Speaker 1: They beat the Chargers thirteen, a battle of the minds
Speaker 1: between Vic Fangio and Anthony Lynn for all to see.
Speaker 1: UH Denver, uh Lindsay got it done on the ground
Speaker 1: fifteen of one fourteen a touchdown, but they had twelve
Speaker 1: penalties for one twenty two yards. Broncos defense, which didn't
Speaker 1: force to take away in their first four games, force
Speaker 1: three turnovers in this one. They held the Charges without
Speaker 1: an offensive touchdown for the first time in fifty six games,
Speaker 1: and two of the takeaways came inside the Denver five. Well,
Speaker 1: that is always huge. Two of the takeaways came inside
Speaker 1: the Denver five. Um, we'll get to the Chargers, I
Speaker 1: would assume here coming up. As far as Tennessee, UH
Speaker 1: Tennessee loses to Buffalo. They lose fourteen to seven. Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariota thirteen, three no touchdowns, no pick, sacked five times. Times.
Speaker 1: UM Tennessee sacked Josh Allen four times on defense, but
Speaker 1: the story of this game was four missed Cairo Santos
Speaker 1: field goals. Check that three missed, one blocked uh block
Speaker 1: Cairo's thirty three yarder in the fourth quarter, a kick
Speaker 1: that would have given the Titans a ten to seven lead.
Speaker 1: He was signed. Santos was to fill in for Ryan
Speaker 1: suck Up, who's healing on injured reserve. Santos also missed
Speaker 1: a fifty yard or wide left to start the second
Speaker 1: Gordon thirty six yard or inside the final minute wide right,
Speaker 1: and it was also wide left on a fifty three
Speaker 1: yards So anyway, Tennessee's at Denver. God, this is hard.
Speaker 1: I just this Tennessee is one of these teams again,
Speaker 1: throw them in the barrel of I have no idea
Speaker 1: what you're getting week to week, except that I know
Speaker 1: that Marcus Mariotte is gonna be pretty good protecting the football.
Speaker 1: And Denver, like, do I think they're good all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, No, um, I have I have written down
Speaker 1: here Tennis Tennessee minus one and a half. The more
Speaker 1: I think about it, the more that should probably be
Speaker 1: a pick um. Just up a coin at Denver two
Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't want come. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, the whole world was on Denver
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Chargers, and uh, you know, listen, I
Speaker 1: have knocked the Chargers plenty. There was another one of
Speaker 1: those teams with all the talent in the world but
Speaker 1: just can't seem to put it together. But how the
Speaker 1: whole world was on Denver, I really don't know that
Speaker 1: that was a big, big loss for us yesterday. And
Speaker 1: we uh you know, we got we got trounds pretty
Speaker 1: good on that game, and uh, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means going forward. I respect the market certainly,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what that means going forward. And Tennessee,
Speaker 1: I like Mike Rabel. I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: good coach. You know, is he yet? Maybe not? But
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a real good coach.
Speaker 1: H But I certainly have my questions on the team
Speaker 1: in general. Um, I'm kind of like you. I thought
Speaker 1: this should be closer to you know, but I see
Speaker 1: pretty much a blanket two and a half. So I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna open the two and a half just because
Speaker 1: I don't have a strong opinion here. But see what
Speaker 1: they want to do it. Yeah, I'll get it. I
Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't know that I would want
Speaker 1: to gravitate towards it either though, if that's if that
Speaker 1: makes any sense, we'll come back. We'll do the two
Speaker 1: primetime game Sunday night, Monday night, and then we'll go
Speaker 1: through these again. See what stood out. It's a numbers game,
Speaker 1: guessing lines with Chris Andrews right here, Week six in
Speaker 1: the NFL at Visa. Welcome back to a numbers game
Speaker 1: with Jill Alexander. Fifty four straight possessions by the opponent
Speaker 1: in which they have scored the New York Football Jets
Speaker 1: fifty four. You know what the best part is, Gil,
Speaker 1: they're not even the worst team in their own division.
Speaker 1: That's true, They're probably not. Let's do Sunday night, Chrissie.
Speaker 1: What do you got? Uh? We got the Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 1: at the Chargers. Pittsburgh's the Los Angeles Chargers. That's right,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's one in four. Pittsburgh loses yesterday, uh to the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. As we mentioned it over time twenty three. Obviously, Uh.
Speaker 1: The headline of that game scary, scary moment Mason Rudolph,
Speaker 1: who ended up thirteen of one thirty one a touchdown
Speaker 1: note picks hit by Earl Thomas Um and you know, unintentional.
Speaker 1: No one's trying to hurt anybody. We have to take
Speaker 1: everybody at their worth there. But it looked real bad
Speaker 1: for Mason Rudolph. The cart didn't work to take him
Speaker 1: off the field. They had to like help him off
Speaker 1: the field. And you had undrafted rookie free agent Devlin
Speaker 1: Hodges out of Samford. How many people listening to this
Speaker 1: show knew who Devil and Hodges was. He went seven
Speaker 1: and nine for sixty eight, which is actually pretty good
Speaker 1: in relief. Um. But the Steelers were trailing seventeen to thirteen.
Speaker 1: They were facing third and eleven at their own twelve.
Speaker 1: Midway through the third, he lined up in shotgun. He
Speaker 1: dropped back to pass play, broke down. He scrambled to
Speaker 1: his left, stepped up the field, flicked the ball to
Speaker 1: James Washington right before the crown of Thomas Helmet hit
Speaker 1: him in the chin or under the chin. He fell
Speaker 1: to the ground. He was limp. He laid there, his
Speaker 1: eyes were closed. Medical personnel rushed to attend to whom
Speaker 1: it was an ugly scene. He's, all things considered much
Speaker 1: better than we thought initially. We don't know who's playing
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Steelers next week at this point, obviously
Speaker 1: Rudolphson concussion protocol. Eleven penalties for seventy six yards for
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Nothing going well for them. The Chargers loose
Speaker 1: to the Broncos. As we just talked about, Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: was back twelve carries thirty one yards, four catches, seven
Speaker 1: yards off anything. He just kind of took away some
Speaker 1: of the shine from Austin Ekeler. The Chargers ended up
Speaker 1: with thirty five total rushing yards. Remember that's the Broncos.
Speaker 1: They were facing the Broncos who gave up two d
Speaker 1: twenty five yards on the ground to Leonard four Nette
Speaker 1: last week. Eckler did have fifteen catches for eighty six yards.
Speaker 1: But as we mentioned when we were talking about the
Speaker 1: Charges Broncos games, two fumbles inside the Denver five Eckler
Speaker 1: stopped at the Broncos won by Kareem Jackson final play
Speaker 1: of the first half when he fumbled trying to reach
Speaker 1: the goal line trying to stretch it. Uh and then
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, Uh Becauzier White intercepted a Flacco pass,
Speaker 1: gave the charge of the ball to Denver seven. But
Speaker 1: then Philip Rivers did Philip Rivers things. He tried to
Speaker 1: throw it into double coverage. He's picked off by Alexander
Speaker 1: Johnson in the end zone, third and goal from the two,
Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers after the game quote, I think I'm
Speaker 1: going to look at it and go gosh. Unquote it
Speaker 1: doesn't like the curse, doesn't curse. I think I'm going
Speaker 1: to look ahead and go, gosh. Chargers by seven and
Speaker 1: a half, Chris, I guess, well, actually he's six and
Speaker 1: six and a half. I like the higher number here.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure it's gonna get a quarterback
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. But missed the headline on those Steelers. Well,
Speaker 1: you know two of their main guys, ju Ju Smith
Speaker 1: Schuster and James Conner have both fumbled in very, very
Speaker 1: key situations. Now, ordinarily I'd say those things are a
Speaker 1: little bit random, and I guess to a point they are.
Speaker 1: But you cannot have your probably too as well, especially
Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger out Now there's probably your two best offensive players.
Speaker 1: You cannot have them fumbling in key situations and expect
Speaker 1: to win football bake. You just can't do it. And
Speaker 1: like I said, is there an element of randomness to that?
Speaker 1: I guess so fun I know, and you were with
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, you know, I'm not sure what he would
Speaker 1: do it, because yeah, probably goodbye. You know. I had
Speaker 1: a friend of mine from Nevada. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day we were talking about a kids named Sudfield
Speaker 1: I think was the tight end that he was. He
Speaker 1: has the draft choice out of Nevada tight end for
Speaker 1: for New England. They really thought he'd fit into the
Speaker 1: offense really well. He fumbled the ball and even to
Speaker 1: fumble it on an onside kick and hit him right
Speaker 1: in the chest. He didn't grab it. The other team
Speaker 1: recovered the ball next morning. He was cut. You know
Speaker 1: that the way Billijick doesn't. You can't argue with his success.
Speaker 1: Certainly don't know what you do with sust and corner,
Speaker 1: But I mean, how do you rely on these guys?
Speaker 1: So I think that was been a big, big thing
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh because they've been close, I mean other well,
Speaker 1: first game this season they got blasted back by New England.
Speaker 1: Learned that they've been kind of close and they easily
Speaker 1: could have won that game yesterday, you know, but you know,
Speaker 1: you're key guys make key errors in that game, and
Speaker 1: that's why they lost that game. Uh. Anyway, I like
Speaker 1: six and a half. I see both numbers, but I
Speaker 1: like six and a half. The needle was six. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be moving this pretty quick. But I do think
Speaker 1: that kid, I can't even remember his name right now.
Speaker 1: Was his name? I looked? Yeah, I mean I finally
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. And if you do look at his
Speaker 1: college statistics, you know, for for Stamford or Stamford and
Speaker 1: you know whoever it was, you know, uh, they were
Speaker 1: pretty good. So I mean the kid had some talent.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that translates into an NFL quarterback,
Speaker 1: but he does have some talent, and he didn't look
Speaker 1: bad in a very limited role yesterday. But I mean,
Speaker 1: we certainly want Mason Rudolph under center if you are
Speaker 1: Steeler fans. But pett Bean said, the Chargers still find
Speaker 1: ways to lose games. It's just scratching your head really
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, and a lot of
Speaker 1: that falls on Philip Rivers, a lot of it falls
Speaker 1: on the coaching and just up and down that organization.
Speaker 1: But all that and I'm gonna open at six and
Speaker 1: a half and it's gonna be an interesting Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Did Yeah. And you would think because I guess seven
Speaker 1: and a half and it's at six and a half,
Speaker 1: that I would leap to bet the Chargers right going
Speaker 1: through a key number. But I don't trust them at
Speaker 1: all at all. I wouldn't leave. Nobody does. We'll come back,
Speaker 1: We'll do the Monday night game, will wrap it up,
Speaker 1: We'll go through what we like next on a Numbers
Speaker 1: game at Visa. Welcome back to a Numbers game with
Speaker 1: Jill Alexander. I apologize to fans of the Monday night
Speaker 1: game because we'll have about forty five seconds to get
Speaker 1: to it. Chris, what is the Monday night game? Detroit
Speaker 1: at green Bay? Detroit coming off a bye, green Bay
Speaker 1: coming off that win over the Cowboys which we discussed. Uh.
Speaker 1: They out possessed Dallas thirty six minutes, forty three seconds
Speaker 1: and twenty three minutes seventeen Aaron Jones nineteen carries one
Speaker 1: hundred seven yards, four touchdowns, seven catches seventy five yards.
Speaker 1: They did all that yesterday. Green Bay did without Davante Adams.
Speaker 1: Also coming off it's first lost green Bay, they took
Speaker 1: sole possession of first place in the NFC North uh
Speaker 1: coupled with Chicago's loss to Oakland. I'll say green Bay
Speaker 1: minus seven, whoa, I see anywhere from four to five.
Speaker 1: I can see straight six out there. Yeah, I'm open five.
Speaker 1: I like the higher of all those. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think Detroit's better than we thought. I really do.
Speaker 1: I think Detroit is better than four. Anywhere be a
Speaker 1: little good game. Yeah, Green Bay's been and they looked
Speaker 1: really good yesterday, but a little in consistent throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the year. So here's the problem, Chris, I
Speaker 1: like way too much. This is always a recipe for disaster,
Speaker 1: way too much. I like Dallas if it's Luke Falk,
Speaker 1: especially like Dallas UM in that game because you had
Speaker 1: it south of south of ten Um. I think the
Speaker 1: wrong team is favored in the Tampa Bay London game.
Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay should be favorite. So I kind
Speaker 1: of like that in New England if it's less than seventeen,
Speaker 1: I like New England. Like I hate to beat again
Speaker 1: Chuck mc chukerson, but you have seventeen here. But if
Speaker 1: it ends up lower than seventeen all over New England.
Speaker 1: And then there's other stray ones. Atlanta seems a little
Speaker 1: light to me. New Orleans might be, Seattle might be.
