1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: The Action Network podcast Action. 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: All right, here we go from the test throwing. 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: Out song respect so we're sitting. It's a cash touchdown. 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: That's all we see. Most gamble is when they go 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: to gamble, they go to winning. That's incredible. 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: Being bank small banks, I like to make money. 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: All right, this is the ultimate combine. 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: If you want to back, and we are underway. Welcome 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: to the Auction Network podcast presented by DraftKings. I am 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 2: your host, Evan Abrams, and I am joined by Brandon 11 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 2: Anderson for some best bets for NFL Week ten. You 12 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: will get to those bets shortly, but I'm gonna go 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: through just two fun trends today that we're talking about 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: entering today's slate for this weekend. So favorites on NFL 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: trade deadline weeks. That's kind of what I was looking at. 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: I was looking at the last ten years of the 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: NFL trade deadline and those weeks specifically, just to see 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: if there's anything that kind of stood out. So favorites 19 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one, basically last five years twenty one 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: and thirty two against the spread NFL trade deadline being 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: so little bit bad of a trend there. The other 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: one I thought was kind of interesting was totals unders 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: sixty six and fifty two, but forty four and twenty 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: three sixty six percent since twenty twenty. And the most 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: interesting thing I found when kind of looking at these 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,639 Speaker 2: specifically ten weeks is line movement, So when the spread 27 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: moves from the opening to the closing line away from 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: a team. So as an example, a team who's plus 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: seven and a half goes to plus nine or a 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: team who's minus five goes to minus three. They're actually 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: sixty percent against the spread and sixty two percent when 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: they're underdogs. So obviously that would be any game with 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: a line move which is a ton every time we 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: have these weeks. But for an example, someone like Atlanta 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: who is plus six and a half and was plus 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: four and a half or so on open that would 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: be an example. Or we have let's see another one here, 38 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. Who Tampa Bay was I believe minus four 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: and a half on the early even minus four now 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: down to minus two and a half. So you can 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 2: find all that data on the lines for opening closing 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: on Action Network. So that was number one. Brandon, do 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: you have any quick thoughts on just how to bet 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: these specific weeks with the trade deadline, because there is 45 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: movement early that kind of adjust some of these lines. 46 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's tricky going with the data. 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: It's just like a tiny sample when you're going with 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: one week out of the eighteen each time. But it's 49 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: also not meaningful because like guys are getting traded showing 50 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: up on a new team. I think it to me 51 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: is probably more ad hoc where I'm looking and saying, okay, 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, like we saw Brown's Jets, we see the 53 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Jets trade away a couple of their stars. That line 54 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: flips from Jets minus two and a half all the 55 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: way to Brown's minus two and a half. So I 56 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: don't know that I necessarily want to just go with 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: a trend alone, but it's a good trend to alert 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: me to say, okay, well, what's happening when this happens. Okay, 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: this flipped five points across the zero, so it's not 60 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: quite the same five as otherwise, But what's the line 61 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: move here? Why did it move so much? And then okay, 62 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: what does history tell us when this has happened? And 63 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: I think I'd be curious, even though I said small sample, 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to say, okay, what about when the 65 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: line moves, maybe like at least a field goal, or 66 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: like even though it's making the sample even smaller, maybe 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: it's making a bit more meaningful. Like for example, we 68 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: have Lions commanders this week, that was our look ahead 69 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: last week Lions minus three. That line is way higher now. 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: But that has nothing to do with the trade deadline. 71 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: That's because dadon Daniels got hurt. All the other guys 72 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: got hurt. So how can we kind of limit and say, okay, 73 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: what's happening to move these lines? Is it trade deadline specific? 74 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: And I think just generally, I'm always going into the week, 75 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, just kind of pull back the curtain on 76 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: my picks. So by the time we record Thursday, I 77 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: already started, like Friday, Saturday last week with this next 78 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: week's lines, and I wrote down, what's the number before 79 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, what's the number Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. 80 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes multiple times during the day, You're always watching the 81 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: number moving because that's telling you information. It's telling you 82 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: who's betting sometimes, but it's telling you what are the 83 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: injuries shaping up? Sometimes those lines know the injury information 84 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: before you and I get the info, you're gonna have 85 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: to discern what's happening there. So to me, trade deadline 86 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: line movement is just a little bit more piece of 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: that puzzle and to me a good reminder to watch 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: the lines and think about what that movement is telling 89 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: you before you make your decision. 90 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. My only two other things is obviously that's the 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: closing line for that data. And also it's completely noisy, 92 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: like the trade deadline has, you know, tons of other 93 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: factors injuries this week to week, but interesting nonetheless, And 94 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: the second thing I wanted to bring up was I 95 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: found this kind of intriguing. So points no longer mean 96 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: a cover would be the way I would kind of 97 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: intro this, which is team scoring twenty four points or 98 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 2: more this season are covering at just sixty nine point 99 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: four percent. That would be the second lowest mark over 100 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: a full season since nineteen ninety. The lowest mark was 101 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: the pandemic season of twenty twenty, which probably just puts 102 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: this more into perspective. But I feel like this one 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: is more up your alley, like if you like a favorite, 104 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: and that's something I should actually look at, and I 105 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: can look at that this week if you better favorite 106 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: that favorite covers I wonder how often they go over 107 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 2: their team total, because I think that's something you would 108 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: look at in some of these favorites this week. Yeah. 109 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean we talk about this like each week. We 110 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: often come in here and there will be a couple 111 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: of these today where it's like, all right, well, man, 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: I really like the favorite here to win, but that 113 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: line it's a little bit too high. I wanted a 114 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: blow the three and it's a minus four instead, or 115 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: you know, we'll talk Bills Dolphins a little bit later. 116 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: I like the Bills a lot, They're in my pick six, 117 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: but it's like almost minus ten. Do I really want 118 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: to play a minus ten? I feel like, anecdotally, it 119 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: seems like a lot of sharp betters, especially even guys 120 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: on our own podcast, to their credit, start by betting 121 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: the underdog, and if there's not value on the underdog, 122 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: if it's like a Bill's Dolphins, then it's like, ah, 123 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: all right, I probably don't have a line here, which 124 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: is usually for a sharp better. I think in admission 125 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: of I don't really see much value on the underdog. Well, 126 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean there is value on the favorite, 127 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: but maybe even find a different way to play the favorite. 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: So I think your trend is a good version of Okay, 129 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: if I think this team scores a lot, but I 130 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: don't really want the back door open, maybe the Ravens, right, 131 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,119 Speaker 1: the Ravens defense is scoring but leaving opponents to score 132 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: as well, that's a spoiler tripic. We'll get to maybe 133 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: go to team total instead then, And don't worry about 134 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the other side, like think about Cowboys, think about the Bengals. 135 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: All right, I trust them to score in this matchup, 136 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: but do I trust them to stop anyone? All right? Well, 137 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: take that out of the equation, Like with the way 138 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: we have for so many things, Now think about what 139 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: is the thing I am most certain about in this game? 140 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: What's the angle I'm trying to bet? And traditionally, like 141 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: even a decade ago, it's just which team do I 142 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: like better? And that's how I'm betting, and not a 143 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: lot of options. But now you can really focus on, well, 144 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: why do I like that team better? What's the edge, 145 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: and what's the way I can bet that specifically? So 146 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: you see on this podcast particular, I don't give out 147 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: a lot of just straight sides of just like a 148 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: minus four or whatever. It's because like I'm still betting 149 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: those things. I'm still in like you know that the 150 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: contest where you pick five each week, all those things. 151 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to hone in on. Okay, if I 152 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: think that, if I do think a team scores twenty 153 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: four or more, can I bet that differently? Is there 154 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: a better number out there? Is there a better sharper 155 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: angle to play? Can I bet it more aggressively to 156 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: get alonger odds, to try to pay out more? Is 157 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: there an escalator here? Is it a player prop? So 158 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: I think, just again pulling back the curtain on the process, 159 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: always be looking. I was scrolling through on DraftKings, looking 160 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: at all the options. There's a lot of ways to 161 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: bet these things, not just a side or total these days. 162 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: So as long as we can keep doing that, we 163 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: can keep looking all of our options. 164 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're both sick.

Before we 183 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: get going, though, we have Brandon's pick six. So every 184 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: week now he's got a column. He's got a sixteen parlay. 185 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: I believe he's what are you? One for three? One 186 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: for two? I can't remember, but this week they'll tell 187 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: me a second. You've got six favorites, so what can 188 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: go wrong? What are you doing? 189 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? One for three, we hit the first one. Then 190 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: we missed on a long shot, and then last week 191 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: we missed because my vikings messed up my own parlays. 192 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: So this week no vikings involved, and everything this week 193 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: is on Sunday. We've had some of the primetime games. 194 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: No primetime games on the swing either, just Sunday at daytime. 195 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: We'll start in the morning in Berlin, give me the Colts, 196 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: then early slate Bills and Bears, and then all three 197 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: games we only have three in the late afternoon slate. 198 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: We're taking them all Lions, Seahawks, and Rams. So it's 199 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: four bigger favorites, two shorter ones. The Rams and Bears 200 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: are a bit shorter. It's plus five to oh three, 201 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: and we're all wrapped up before Sunday Night football. And 202 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: we'll talk about why we're skipping Sundnight Football in just 203 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: a second. But it's about five to one in most 204 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: of those games. They all but one, I think come 205 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: back up again in our podcast. So the thing we 206 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: just talked about is kind of relevant here. I'm only 207 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: actually betting I think one of those teams on the 208 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: spread in our picks to come, but I'm betting four 209 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: of them in other different ways, just like we just 210 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: talked about, including a team total and some of those 211 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: other designs. So Sunday pick six Colts, Bills, Bears, Lions, Seahawks, 212 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: rams about five to one. 213 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: All favorites. Let's cash all right, Sunday night football time. 214 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: That is where we will start. So Steelers and the Chargers. 215 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: This one is a little bit tough. Like I just 216 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: feel like from a handicapping standpoint, there's a few different 217 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: angles can take you to both directions line sitting at three, 218 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: which is basically nothing. Game is in the Chargers though, 219 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: and there will be a lot of terrible talents, so 220 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: you don't this yours. 221 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in LA. But I think this might be 222 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh home game. Like you said, that's a point 223 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: that they had on here. We know how this is 224 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: with the Chargers, but the Steelers fans are always traveling, 225 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: so I think that the very least takes away most 226 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: of the home field advantage. I really like the Steelers here. 227 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh plus three for me and we'll play the money line. 228 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: So look, last week we talked about the Steelers, I 229 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: said I was sitting out the raw ross spot we 230 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: missed out. This was the raw raw yes spot of 231 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: the year. Steelers for six turnovers. They finally stopped that 232 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: huge Colts offense, clearly their best win of the season. 233 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: And what did they do TJ Watt and that defensive 234 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: front finally looking like they're supposed to all year, dominating 235 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: what had been the league's best offensive line to that point. 236 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: So now it's Chargers on the other end of the 237 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: spectrum for offensive line. Rayshawn Slater out for the season 238 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: before we started. Now Joe Alt is out for good. 239 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: McKay Beckton, the big free agent, he's out as well. 240 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: Their third tackle, the Slater replacement, Bobby Hart, he looks 241 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: like he's out. This is tinly a bottom of five 242 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: offensive line in the league, and that is really being 243 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: kind at this point. And it's up against tg A Lott, 244 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Alex high Smith, Nick Herbig Cam Hayward. He's old but 245 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: still getting it done. This is really really rough timing 246 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: for all to go out right before this matchup. And 247 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: you've seen some of these numbers go around. You had 248 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: a similar one, I think in your article. Since the 249 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: Chargers drafted Joe Alt to be their star tackle. When 250 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: he plays at least fifty percent of their snaps, they're 251 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: fifteen to five seventy five percent win rate when he 252 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: is below that or missing two and five straight up. 253 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: So lots of noise there obviously, but as kind of 254 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: just telling you this Chargers team is going to the 255 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: wrong direction right now. They're struggling to run. They're missing 256 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: their top running backs. Pittsburgh now is top ten pass 257 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: defense by dv away, and meanwhile, Chargers run defense is 258 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: the weakest even on the field. They are twenty seventh 259 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: in dv away. Pittsburgh's quietly run the ball really well 260 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: this year. That's what Arthur Smith wants to do. Jalen 261 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: Warren keeps having a big games week after week and 262 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has been at his best when he gets 263 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: the ball out fast, and the Chargers are not great 264 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: at getting pressure. So I just like a lot of 265 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: the matchup stuff here for Pittsburgh special teams. Huge advantage 266 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh here, and we mentioned the home field thing 267 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: as well, maybe a flipped advantage there. So is this 268 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: a raw RAS spot for Tomlin? Yes and no so 269 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: Week five Ford as an underdog sixty eight percent for 270 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: his career covering the spread, But all my trends say 271 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: we want this at home. Well, probably not counting as 272 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: a home game. Here, we want Steelers after a big loss. 273 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: That's not the case. Here, they just want we like 274 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: a division game. That's not it. However, there is a 275 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: double down factor with the raw raw effect when the 276 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: Steelers are an under even after they just won as 277 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: an underdog. That's this one. Twenty five and two ats 278 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: in Mike Tomlin's career eighty percent cover rate, including eight 279 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: straight outright wins as an underdog. This is basically telling 280 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: us when the Steelers do the raw raw thing and 281 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: the line doesn't react, which this one didn't really react. 282 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Maybe it should have, so I think it should have. 283 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: I think Steelers are the right side here. Plus three. 284 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: It's my favorite side of the week. I don't think 285 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna get a three and a half. I've been 286 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: watching it all week and it's closer to two and 287 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: a half at times, So I went wait around plus 288 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: one thirty on the money line. Not a lot of 289 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: juice there. I'm pretty happy with just the plus three, 290 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: to be honest, because we might just get like a 291 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: close loss or something. And then one last point in 292 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: the pick six article, I was give my extra point 293 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: start with that off the top here, Chargers to miss 294 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs plus two to twenty five. This is a 295 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: rough spot. The Chargers face Pittsburgh and then Jacksonville. That's 296 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: really their top competition in the playoffs for probably one 297 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: last spot in AFC. I like Herbert, I like Herb, 298 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: but they can only do so much. Though FTN has 299 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: forty five percent to miss the playoffs for the Chargers, 300 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: that would be about plus one twenty we're getting almost 301 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: double that, so plus two twenty five. I think really 302 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: that is the money line quote unquote play here that 303 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: if the Steelers do win, that puts the Chargers playoffs 304 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: more in peril. So that's probably more my escalator play 305 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: Steelers plus three and then Chargers to miss the playoffs 306 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: plus two to twenty five. 307 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: To me, the pick comes down to the Chargers offensive line. 308 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: Like it's you could point at so many different units 309 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: and so many different things, but come Oni Vidal yards 310 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: after contact against the Titans of under two on twelve 311 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: Rushes kind of tells you what you need to know 312 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: about what he's running into on the line. And then 313 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: just think about this. So Chargers are nineteenth and twentieth 314 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: in rush EPA and success right, not terrible? Right? Like 315 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: you think about as a totality not terrible, but you 316 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: look at third most blown b lone blocks in the 317 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: past game and second most blown blocks in the run game. 318 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: They're basically making it harder on their running backs who 319 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: obviously you lose Harris, you lose Hampdon. Like things are 320 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: kind of going downhill there. So the question for me 321 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: is Herbert's covered five straight at night, He's ten and 322 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: three straight up as a favorite at night. But if 323 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: he has no protection, who cares? So that's kind of 324 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: the way I look at this one. So I agree 325 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: with you. All right, let's keep rolling here. Your favorite 326 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,479 Speaker 2: team who stabbed me in the back last week, Ravens Vikings. 327 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: What are you doing in this one? 328 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? So this is a great example of the thing 329 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: we talked about at the top. So I come into 330 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: this thinking, Okay, I like the Ravens. They feel like 331 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: the right side here, but it's Ravens minus four, maybe 332 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: even four and a half. That feels hefty even by 333 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: my numbers. That feels hefty even believing in the Ravens 334 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: this time of the season. So I'm pivoting trying to say, Okay, 335 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: how do I invest in the Ravens but not have 336 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: to pay over the key number. I'm gonna go with 337 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: the team total here, just like we talked about Ravens 338 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: over twenty six and a half on the team total, 339 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: and we'll get to an escalator. So here's how I 340 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: got there. Vikings offense, I think of the four units, 341 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: clearly the weakest. We can't know really what JJ McCarthy 342 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: is yet. Ravens defense not great, but certainly looks a 343 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: little better since cal Hamilton moved. They're getting a little healthier. 344 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily a lot what to expect on 345 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: that side, so this went have to worry about it. 346 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: So on the other side, Okay, what's the best unit 347 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: on the field then? Is it the Ravens offense or 348 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: the Vikings defense. We saw Lamar Jackson play Brian Flores. 349 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: It was a short week. We saw this a few 350 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: years ago and Flora is like blitzed a billion times 351 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: and it did not go well for Lamar, and the 352 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: rest of the season didn't go well because other teams 353 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,239 Speaker 1: started copying it. Well, Lamar is pretty good against the blitz. Now, 354 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: we figured it out in the last couple of years, 355 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: and Baltimore's had extra arrest here to get ready for 356 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: this one, and Vikings pressure great last week, but hasn't 357 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: really been that consistent this year. The run defense has 358 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: not been great. They've been hurt by guys like Herbert 359 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams as scrambling quarterbacks. And we know about 360 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: Lamar against NFC. Lamar against coaches that haven't faced him before, 361 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: just a really tough ask for an opponent to face. 362 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: So if you want a side again, I think it's Ravens, 363 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know about the number. I looked at 364 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: just Ravens first half. That was the play against Minnesota 365 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: last week. They're two and six against the spread, but 366 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: one of those wins was last week Lamar first half. 367 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: We know that's the way to go. But I like 368 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: team total because with Lamar, even this season, Ravens are 369 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: averaging just under thirty four points a game. They've had 370 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: at least twenty eight all five games. We only need 371 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: twenty seven. We hit her over Lamar. Ravens when he 372 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: plays have scored twenty eight or more nine straight games, 373 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: including since the start of last season. Baltimore's won fifteen 374 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: times regular in postseason, all fifteen times they scored at 375 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: least twenty eight points. So this to me is a 376 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: Ravens money line proxy. We don't have to pay the 377 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: steep money line price. We are getting a money line proxy. 378 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: This is when the Ravens win, they score twenty eight, 379 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: we're betting over twenty six and a half and we 380 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: have to pay the money line. Vikings are allowing twenty 381 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: six and a half points exactly this season against starting quarterbacks. 382 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: They've feasted twice against backups. Otherwise this is basically right 383 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: at their number. And the Ravens are not an average opponent. 384 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: So in those fifteen Ravens wins since the start of 385 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: last year, they're averaging thirty four point three points a game, 386 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: thirty four points or more in just over half of those, 387 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: So a slight escalator here as well. Over thirty three 388 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: and a half Ravens team total plus two seventy at DraftKings, 389 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: and you just take the points and you need to 390 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: worry about will the Ravens defense show up? Can they 391 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: make some stops? Who cares? Look as a Vikings fan, 392 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: I hope they don't help the Vikings score one hundred 393 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: and I cash my bet any they can win one 394 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: hundred to forty, Well cash and get a Vikings when 395 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: this way, we can just focus on the thing that 396 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: we like past Ravens, team total over. 397 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, all the families are getting along here on the favorites. 398 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 2: Earlier today we took Ravens first half money line and 399 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: the over in this game, both in the parlay, So 400 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: I think we're kind of all in the same direction here. 401 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: I'll say this, Ravens and Vikings this year thirteen and 402 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: three to the over combined, so they're on the right track. 403 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: This seems absolutely obvious to you, but I feel like 404 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: I should say it anyway. So expected points added just 405 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 2: when you look at the pass game this season, Lamar 406 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: is at plus twenty point six, Huntley plus five point seven, 407 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: Rush minus twenty three point two. If that just doesn't 408 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: tell you what he adds to the offense and why 409 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: you wile I think he was eighteen and six, I 410 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 2: believe team total over even entering the season, and we've 411 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: seen what he've done this year, so hard to go 412 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: against anything in this area. And I think last week, 413 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: like McCarthy's gonna play good, he's also just gonna play bad. 414 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna get a little bit of both. 415 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 2: But I think in this environment you're gonna get points. 416 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: So let's keep rolling here, all right, Bills and Dolphins. 417 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: This line's large and it's just getting bigger. I saw 418 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: it around eight, eight and a half, now up to 419 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: nine and a half. I think it's gonna get probably 420 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: up to ten based off of everything we've seen, especially 421 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: when Phillipscutt sent out of town, things of that nature. 422 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: So what are you doing in this matchup? 423 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: Yeah? This is another one similar we talked about. I 424 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: want the Bills here, but how how do I bet 425 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: them without having to invest in such a high line. 426 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, a lot of times on Sundays 427 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: you see like an eight eight and a half get 428 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: to nine and a half or ten. That's not even 429 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: necessarily because everyone's betting. That's teaser protection because you tease 430 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: six points down. Once it gets to nine and a half, 431 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: six down is still three and a half. It's still 432 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: above the three. So if you see a line in 433 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: that range, you can probably bet on it rising because 434 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: eight or nine is not a normal outcome, but three 435 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: and four are in books. Would prefer to not give 436 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: you that option. I don't want any of those options, 437 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take a Bill's second half play minus 438 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: three and a half. We do not quite get below 439 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: the key number. But I'll tell you why second half. 440 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't need to tell you too much about why 441 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo versus Miami, like that's pretty self evident. This was 442 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: my first pick for the pick sixth this week. Buffalo 443 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: offense second in the league dvaway Miami twenty ninth. Defensively, 444 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: it's easy pickings and this has been not a rivalry 445 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: in the division. Bills have won seven in a row 446 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, fourteen out of fifteen average margin of 447 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: victory fifteen points a game. So maybe you just take 448 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: the Bills and they cover, because that's usually been the case. 449 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Dapphin win really big Tua in his career one and 450 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: nine against Buffalo as many picks as touchdowns. But despite 451 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: all that stuff, Josh Allen against Miami in his career 452 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: seven seven and one ats. That's why we have to 453 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: bet spreads, not money lines. Okay, so that's full game though. 454 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: We always want second half with the Bills, especially when 455 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: it's a big spread. Second half numbers get really good, 456 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: and this season Miami second half two and seven against 457 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: the spread. They've hung around for half and then they 458 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: fall off and the Bills all of the second half 459 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: team six and two ats this year, and Josh Allen 460 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: for his career sixty seven percent second half cover rate. 461 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: If you are one hundred dollars better and you just 462 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: bet every Josh Allen game second half, he is by 463 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: far the most profitable quarterback in our system, and bet 464 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: Labs betters would be up about thirty two hundred dollars. 465 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: That's almost four x the next closest active quarterback. In fact, 466 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: you'll never guess this, Evan, which opponent do you think 467 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has the best most profitable second half record 468 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: against any ideas? 469 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 2: Probably not the Jets. I guess it's probably the Dolphins. 470 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: It's the Dolphins. He's twelve and three ats in the 471 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: second half, even though he's five hundred ats full game 472 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: against Miami, twelve three second half by almost a full 473 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: touchdown a game. He's actually almost as profitable second half 474 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: against just Miami as any other active quarterback is like 475 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: in their career second half. That's how good he is 476 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: in the spot. So Bill's second half minus three and 477 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: a half, just a touch maybe on Bill's by ten 478 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: second half at two to one. That's kind of his 479 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: usual cover rate. I like this too, because you kind 480 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: of get multiple scripts here. Maybe it's a blowout early 481 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: and now they're just gonna run the ball and they're 482 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: gonna run out of Miami and put it away and 483 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: it's easy. Or Miami hangs around and Buffalo is like, 484 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: oh fine, okay, we'll try in the second half and 485 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: now we'll beat you. And either way you like it, Bill, 486 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: second half, play that way and then prop for Buffalo 487 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: as well. We talked a lot about Josh Allen. Just 488 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: now we'll just watched last weeks to the Chiefs. Don't 489 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: forget about James Cook, and James Cook is who you 490 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: want for props here. Miami run defense in losses this 491 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: season average nineteen carries one hundred and nine yards to 492 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: the top running back on the opponent. Henry just had 493 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: one nineteen against them, Badal who you mentioned one twenty four, 494 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: Ricodoubtle two oh six. They've allowed at least eighteen carries 495 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: to lead a running back in all but one of 496 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: their losses one hundred and thirty six scrimmage yards per game, 497 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: and then includes James Cook earlier this season nineteen carries 498 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: one toh eight and a score, so a couple of 499 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: ways to play over seventeen and a half rushing attempts 500 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: minus one sixteen. Again, that's sort of acting like hopefully 501 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: it Bills moneyline proxy. He shit that in five straight 502 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: Bills wins nineteen carries or more for Cook, they just 503 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: feed him. And he also in those five wins has 504 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: at least one hundred yards. He's averaging one to thirty 505 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: seven in those games. So one hundred yards for Cook 506 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: is plus one fifty five. One twenty yards is plus 507 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: three twenty. So I'll play a little bit on those 508 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: as well. Keep an eye out. Cook did show up 509 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: on the injury report this week, so obviously you want 510 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: to make sure that he's looking good to go. 511 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 2: Well. 512 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: I probably won't go too crazy with high end escalators 513 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: just because if they do get up, maybe they like 514 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: sit him a little bit and don't quite grind him 515 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: into the ground as usual. But I like James Cook 516 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: kind of as a Bill's proxy. I like Bill's second 517 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: half as it Bills proxy. So second half minus three 518 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: and a half. 519 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. The only stat I can even add to this 520 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: would be the fact that that second half number on 521 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: Josh Allen, I just like putting a number behind it 522 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: because of how crazy it sounds since it started last year. 523 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: Twenty two and six seems absolutely ridiculous. But that is 524 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: Josh Allen and the Bills in the second half, and 525 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 2: then the fact with Cook on the overs. I mean, 526 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: Miami the last two point six yards after contact per 527 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: attempt tied for second wars in the NFL. The only 528 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: team worse the Bills. So I would sit there and 529 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: say to you, all right, but what about the other side. 530 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: But to me, like a chank can have a good 531 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 2: game in the short pass game and it not be 532 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: on rush. So I was considering things like both teams 533 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: that have a rushing touchdown like certain things to kind 534 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: of go, like, go with these trends of bad rush defenses. 535 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: But I think Miami can get it a few different ways. 536 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: But I agree with you with Cook, it's the right route, 537 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: all right. Speaking of bad rush defenses, you were going 538 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: to attack the bat and bat of this one, because 539 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: I feel like you do every single week and every 540 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: one of us has to. So what do you do 541 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: with Bears Giants? I think we know. 542 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want Bears running back overs and I'm coming 543 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: in with a vengeance because I wanted Bears running back 544 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: overs last week against the Bengals, and I came in 545 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: with all my Doandary Swift props and then he was 546 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: out and we missed out and Kaalamanangai ran all over 547 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: the Bengals for like one hundred and seventy six yards 548 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: on twenty six scores or twenty six carries. He probably 549 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: had twenty six scores the way. Yeah, this game I 550 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: find supremely annoying. I was very excited to bet the Bears. 551 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: They would have been. My favorite side of the week 552 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: is minus three Sunday morning and an all week long 553 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: and just slowly rising past the key. Now past four. 554 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: It's like four and a half, pushing five, even though 555 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: the Bears have a bunch of injuries on the report 556 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: as well. I really think this is a good matchup 557 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: for Chicago, but they have two two point wins already 558 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: this year. They had the Bengals come back in the 559 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: last second. The Giants have a lost by one and 560 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: by three. I can't really bet Bears at such a 561 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: high number. And I looked at second half Bears to 562 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: get under the key number. Giants are two and seven 563 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: second half. But again, why do I like the Bears 564 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: it's the one reason it's rushing. I like the Bears 565 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: to run all over this defense. The matchup I think 566 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: might be even better than it was last week. Giants 567 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: are dead last and run defense DVA, dead last and 568 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: run defense EPA per play like pick a stat. The 569 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: Giants are probably gonna be last in it against the run. 570 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: They got, you know, small pass rushers Dexter Lawrence has 571 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: not been as good this year, I think as healthy. 572 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: And it looks kind of blustery this weekend in Chicago 573 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: looks very windy, even a chance of kind of freezing 574 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: rain or snow. Sounds like run game to me. Think 575 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: the Bears will run all over this defense. And we 576 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: keep talking about this Evan. Since the bye week, Chicago's 577 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: run game has exploded three point eight yards of carry 578 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: before the bye, five point nine since then, over two 579 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: yards of carry, more one hundred and eighty seven yards 580 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: a game rushing, leading the league, their top four success 581 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: rate and ep per play rushing and even just some 582 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: of the matchup stuff. They prefer to run under center, 583 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: they prefer to do outside run. That's the spots where 584 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: the Giants numbers are the worst as well. So okay, 585 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: how do you play it then, because the big question 586 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: is Swift is back now, but Manongai was awesome? Which 587 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: one do you play well? Both? In my opinion, Giants 588 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: have allowed fourth most fantasy points to running backs. Seven 589 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: runners already eighty one yards or more, and if you 590 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: look since the buye a week the Bears lost once. 591 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: Otherwise in their wins they've had a runner go for 592 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: fourteen for one oh eight, nineteen, one, twenty four, and 593 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: then twenty six, one seventy six last week. So I'm 594 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: gonna do both. DeAndre Swift, I almost said, Taylor Swift, No, 595 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: that's not this game. DeAndre Swift over fifty and a 596 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: half yards now, He's only over that four of seven 597 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: games this year, But I think that that's not totally 598 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 1: fair because four of his games were before the bye, 599 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: before they kind of figured out this rushing attack. In 600 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: Bears win since the buye, he's averaged sixteen and a 601 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: half carries one hundred and sixteen yards. So I'll take 602 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: the over fifty and a half, but I'm gonna play 603 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: one hundred yards. It's nine to one, and I'm gonna 604 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: play one hundred yards in a Bear's cover. Those things 605 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: correlate to me, a Bears running well should get a win. 606 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: That's twelve to one. I still think Swift is the 607 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: lead guy for now, but I'm gonna play Manong Guy 608 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: as well, in part because maybe the Bears win because 609 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: they're they're or maybe the Bears run well and then 610 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: Manongai gets some garbage time runs. Maybe this is the 611 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: new you know, Sonic and Knuckles. Maybe this is the 612 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: thunder and Lightning combo and they both run. I think 613 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: that's probably more likely, but I think that playing Manonguy 614 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: covers us somebody's gonna run on Chica, the on the Giants. 615 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: So if it's not Swift, if he's not healthy or 616 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: not getting enough carries, it's probably Manung Guy. Or we 617 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: might hit both. We might actually get both runners playing well. 618 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: So Manonguy fifty yards plus one eighty and then just 619 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: a touch on one hundred yards at fifteen to one. 620 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,479 Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I hate to miss it 621 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: in case. He's just the guy breaking out right now. 622 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: And what's fun here is you got to shop around 623 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: a little bit. We don't know who the right running 624 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: back is, and books don't know either. Different books are 625 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: pricing Manonguy Sharper, and some are pricing Swift Sharper. Well, 626 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: that's great because we can play at each book and 627 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: get both of them. Last time, both these guys were 628 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: healthy and a Bears win. Swift one hundred and eight 629 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: yards fourteen carries, but Manonguy thirteen carries for eighty one yard. 630 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: They're both running really well. So last part here, I 631 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: think you can build some really fun parlays here. I 632 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: think you go Swift eighty yards, Manungai fifty yards. That's 633 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: plus eleven to fifty. You can also go here's one 634 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: that just hit in that last Bears win. Swift to 635 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: hit one hundred, Manungai to go seventy, and a Bears win. 636 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: It's sixty five to one. They just hit that parlay. 637 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: The last time both guys were on the field and 638 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: the Bears won a game. That was against the Saints, 639 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: who aren't any good. Hey, it's the Giants who aren't 640 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: any good. So I think you can play both of 641 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: those together. They sort of cover for each other. That 642 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: Bears are going to run is just a question of 643 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: which one. But I don't want to solve it. I'm 644 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: gonna let them figure it out and just play both 645 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: sides Swift and Manongaia. 646 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just gonna pile on because some of these 647 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 2: numbers just feel absolutely made up and ridiculous. Giants allowing 648 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: seventeen point four percent of runs to be explosive point 649 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 2: four percent above the median right now in the NFL, 650 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: which just it literally sounds unreal. And then opponents forty 651 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 2: broken tackles against the Giants, eight more than any other team. 652 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 2: Then you say to yourself, well, I mean when was that? 653 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: Well since Week four. They also have twenty seven, which 654 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: is most of the NFL. So however you look at this, 655 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 2: it really doesn't matter. This is like the best unit 656 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: recently versus a unit that haven't figured themselves out over 657 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 2: ten weeks. I would be shocked to see the Giants 658 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: stop the Bears on the ground, but we will see 659 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 2: what happens. All right, last game here before we get 660 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 2: to the lightning round, Sunday morning Football, it's sausage and eggs. 661 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 2: It's Germany Berlin game. Colts and Falcons. The heck you 662 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 2: doing here? 663 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? Like usual, I'm gonna take the favorite here. Colts 664 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: minus six and a half. So we saw the big 665 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned the trade deadline the colt made 666 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: that big move this week training for Sas Gardner, Sauce 667 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore in the nickel, and then once they get 668 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: back to our various word, that's going to be a 669 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: really tough cornerback trio and perfect timing to get a 670 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: little Sauce just some time with Drake London coming to 671 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: town or coming to Berlin as it were. So I 672 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: think that's a really good timing for that. I'm not 673 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: that thrown off with the Colts loss We've talked about 674 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: on the recap pod. I'm gonna give the Steelers some 675 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: credit for what they did, but six turnovers, sometimes the 676 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: football bounce is the wrong way on you. The Colts 677 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 1: were still plus ten percent success rate in that one. 678 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: The offense did still move the ball pretty well, and 679 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: I think they will against Atlanta as well. So the 680 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: Colts defense, I think is a bit overrated, But now 681 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: they get Sauce Gardner and the Falcons offense is pretty inconsistent. 682 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: They're also missing maybe both guards in this game. One's 683 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 1: already ruled out, the other one is still questionable. They're 684 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: already missing last year's center and right tackle due to 685 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: free agency and injuries. Just what has been a strength 686 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: of the team is badly faltering, and the Colts defensive 687 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: front has been pretty good this year. Meanwhile, Atlanta's defense 688 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: I think is a bit overrated. I've heard people call 689 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: them a top five defense. I don't think so. We've 690 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: seen them be that in a couple of games. But 691 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: they're really not good against the run. They're twenty fourth 692 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: in run defense Dvoway and this is not the team 693 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: that you want to be that against. This line offensive 694 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: line for the Colts, they get embarrassed last week by 695 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: the Steelers. I think you're going to show up here 696 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor is going to have a bounce back game. 697 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta built the defense around kind of small, speedy guys, 698 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: and in the right matchup, that's great, But if you're 699 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: getting mauled by the Colts, that's not great. So I 700 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: think it sets up well here again, another game with 701 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: a huge special team's edge towards Indy. I think a 702 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: big coaching edge as well. She and Steikin's the coach 703 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: of your favorite He's pulling all the right levers. We're 704 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: starting to get some real noise about Rahee Morris. Zach Robinson, 705 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator falcons are just all over the map 706 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: each week, and some of the trends back that up. 707 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,760 Speaker 1: Steichen as a favorite sixty three percent cover rate, Raheem 708 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: Morris as an underdog forty four percent ATS. Morris is 709 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: also forty four percent against teams better than five hundred, 710 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: and then Daniel Jones against teams under five hundred sixty 711 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: three percent cover rate. So lots of trends like the 712 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: favorite here and went in doubt. You just take the 713 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: favorite international games. You've heard the stat on a bunch 714 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 1: of these, but take out the Jaguar games. They're basically 715 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: home overseas. Outside of that, international favorites twenty seven to 716 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: thirteen ATS sixty eight percent by about five points a game. 717 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: If you go totals of at least forty fours, we're 718 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: not messing with just kind of like little close, low 719 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: scoring games. Eighteen and six seventy five percent for favorites 720 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: on that one, and in those spots the underdog had 721 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: not won out right in the last twenty meetings until 722 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs and Chargers in the opener this season, so it's 723 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 1: a great spot for international favorites. It's still below seven. 724 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: I think this is a great teaser spot as well 725 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 1: a few other teams. We'll talk about Seahawks in a while. 726 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: We talked about the Bills just a bit again. Lions. 727 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: I think if you want to do a teaser Colts 728 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: plus one of those fits as well, So Colts six 729 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: and a half and if you want a little escalator here, 730 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 1: I think team total is a good way to do it. Again, 731 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: Colts have scored at least twenty nine points and all 732 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: seven wins, and they are averaging thirty five point seven 733 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: points a game in those is at least thirty eight 734 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: and four of the seven, so thirty eight or more 735 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: Colts points at plus four forty in case they just 736 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: really hammer the Falcons and bounce back. Atlanta is kind 737 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: of slowly teetering. I don't think we've really noticed it 738 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: too much, but we're all gonna be watching on Sunday 739 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: morning and we might see it happen. So take the 740 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: Colts to cover and maybe a little bit on the 741 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: team total for an escalator. 742 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever you do with India in this game, I 743 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 2: feel like you can have some fun with some Drake 744 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 2: London on the other side as well, there's some you know, 745 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 2: anti correlation to some positive Drake London and Indy's still 746 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: doing whatever they're going to do because I don't have 747 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 2: faith in Penis. I think Pennix anything that looks positive 748 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 2: on his side has been helped by what Drake London 749 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 2: has done. Especially when you look at some of those 750 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 2: touchdowns last week. I think that's more Drake London than 751 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 2: it is Michael Pennick's putting the ball where he should be. 752 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 2: That's my opinion. When you just look at some of 753 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 2: these team total that Brandon likes in this one, so 754 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 2: favorites of six plus neutral last twenty years, averaging twenty 755 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 2: eight points per game. The Colts themselves as a favorite 756 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: since it started last year, averaging twenty eight points six 757 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 2: points per game. Now you look at Daniel Jones, He's 758 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 2: played in two overseas games, both with the Giants, scoring 759 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 2: seventeen and twenty seven. So I don't foresee him being 760 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 2: a pumpkin two weeks in a row, especially in this 761 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: spot with his team. So I think he gets it 762 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 2: back on track. I mean, after six turnovers you expect 763 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 2: something different as well. And here's the last part. I 764 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 2: think that will probably help. Indeed, fifteen of seventeen on 765 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 2: fourth down this year. So if you're looking for more points, 766 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 2: they should go for it in that percentage ridiculous, So 767 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 2: they should continue drives as well. So Colts team total 768 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 2: wake up to some money. 769 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: Lightning raw thunder. 770 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 2: All right, lightning round, let's keep rolling here. So this 771 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 2: one's great. I mean, we call them the Sad Cats 772 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 2: just because of the line and the situation. But this 773 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 2: one's crazy. So Saints Panthers line, I believe sitting at 774 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 2: five and a half. But I've seen some sixes as well, 775 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 2: so I can't imagine you're laying it with the Sad Cats. 776 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: Not a chance. This is our upset pick of the week. 777 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: We've been on a hot streak with our upsets Dolphins 778 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 1: and Jets two weeks ago, these Panthers last week plus 779 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: seven to fifty. Now it's time to turn our back 780 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: and bet the other way. Saints plus two fifteen on 781 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: the money line. Let's get Tyler Shuck a first career 782 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: when look, you have the stat. Everyone has a stat, 783 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: the Panthers having a one as favorites in September twenty 784 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: twenty one, a ten game losing streak longest since the merger. 785 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: And again, this is about the matchup last week, I 786 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 1: like Carolina because they can run and stop the run. 787 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: That matched up well against Green Bay, who wanted to 788 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: be run heavy, and it was a beatable run defense. 789 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: It was a good underdog script. Well, now they're the 790 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: overdog and the Saints one strength is their run defense. 791 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 1: The Panthers are missing or banged up at least their center, 792 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: their right guard, their right tackle. Now Ricodoudele also is 793 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: banged up, making jokes on Twitter about it probably gonna play. 794 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: But Carolina leads the league on inside runs. Saints are 795 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: top five EPA per play there. They're more weak outside, 796 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: and so I think that they really fit well what 797 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: Carolina wants to do. And now it's Carolina who's the 798 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: slow running team that you don't want to be as 799 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: the favorite. You want to be the underdog there. The 800 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: Saints run more inside as well. Carolina, we know how 801 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: good their run defense is way better outside. They're only 802 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: twenty ninth EPA per play on inside runs. Saints are 803 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: not running well at all all year, but maybe inside 804 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: they can find a little bit. This game total looks 805 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: under here, a lot of trends to the under. It 806 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: looks windy. It's a sub forty total. Again, that helped 807 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: us with Carolina last week. Now they're the favorite. You 808 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: want the underdog in that spot if it's a close, ugly, 809 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: low scoring game. And a couple trends for you. Underdogs 810 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: that scored sixteen or less in their last three games, 811 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: so all three games, sixty two percent cover rates since 812 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. So that's the Saints favorites that scored zero sixteen, sorry, 813 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: sixteen or less in their last three games, so the 814 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: same thing. But the favorites, they're only thirty three percent 815 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen. So that's Carolina. And when you get 816 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: both of those, it's not very often. Four times since 817 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, but her underdog is three and one ats 818 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: they've won two of those and they have a one 819 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: point loss in the other. So all that is to say, 820 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: if neither team is scoring that much and it's all 821 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: going under we're probably gonna get like a seventeen to 822 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: sixteen sort of game, and let's give her underdog a shot. 823 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: So Tyler's shock and the Saints plus two fifteen, we'll 824 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,439 Speaker 1: see we're can keep her underdog streak row in here. 825 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. I tend to go against the changing of the 826 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 2: roles which is kind of what you would have talked 827 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 2: about at the beginning of the handicap, which is a 828 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 2: team goes from like an underdog of four and a half, 829 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 2: five six, whatever it is, and then goes into the 830 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 2: role of a favorite on the other side of four 831 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,840 Speaker 2: and a half five six. It's just it never usually 832 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 2: goes well because it's too quick of a move based 833 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 2: off of public perception. And I think that's you know, Carolina, 834 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,879 Speaker 2: you heard the stat last week, Carolina's five and four 835 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 2: underdog in all the games. Like, we're kind of changing 836 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 2: how we believe in this team, and I feel like 837 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 2: this is a little bit of a flip to the 838 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 2: other side. The one thing I will say, Saints have 839 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 2: been horrendous in the first quarter, Like at the end 840 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 2: of the first quarter, if this game is tight, I 841 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 2: think you have to believe in New Orleans even more. 842 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: And honestly, if I see it's ten to nothing Carolina 843 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 2: at that point, I might look at a really large 844 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: number on New Orleans. That's just the way I'm going 845 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 2: to look at the game. No, Shaheed, with the trade, 846 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 2: Kamara's banged up, there is every reason to want Carolina. 847 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 2: But I'm just I'm a little hesitant. So I see 848 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 2: what you see. 849 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense to me. Should we go to 850 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. 851 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 2: Let's do it? What do you got there, Arizona Seattle? 852 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,879 Speaker 1: Yes, I really wanted Seattle here. We know. I've been 853 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: back in Seattle a week after a week and they're 854 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: under a touchdown. It's minus six and a half. I 855 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: really wanted this pick. I make it more like Seattle 856 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: minus eleven by my numbers. So this is why I 857 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: keep hammering this team. Five of seattle six wins this 858 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: year by a touchdown, But the one that wasn't was 859 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: Thursday night against these Cardinals that they dominated Cardinals at 860 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three yards with only ten minutes left, 861 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: but then kind of goofy finish and the Cardinals end 862 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: up covering. It's a walk off field goal. Cards haven't 863 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: lost by more than four all season. And I've seen 864 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people I trust on the Cardinals and 865 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: a lot of trends I trust on the Cardinals. So 866 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 1: I can't do a side. And the other thing holding 867 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: me back is this Cardinals defense. I'm starting to believe 868 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: in a little bit. Hunter Rallis's defense now top ten 869 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: in DBA Top ten against the pass, not that great 870 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,439 Speaker 1: in DVA against the run, but sixth by EPA per 871 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: play against the run, and that I think is key 872 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: here because the matchup for me that holds me back 873 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: from taking Seattle. And I'm gonna get to Kenneth Walker 874 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: props here in a second. Seattle wants to run, they 875 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: want they're the fourth heaviest run team, but Arizona also 876 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: wants you to run, and I'm wondering if we're gonna 877 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: start seeing that from Seattle opponents. Seattle wants to run, 878 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: but isn't good at it. They're good at everything else. 879 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: We keep talking about special teams and defense and offense, 880 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: well passing offense, they're bottom ten rushing the football by 881 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: actual results. What they're doing is fake running and play 882 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: actioning out of heavy and trying to pass. But I 883 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: think Rales's defense is pretty stubborn and might not bend 884 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: and might not go light or go heavy to try 885 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: to match that, and suddenly Seattle might just stubbornly keep 886 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: running all game. So Kenneth Walker over rushing attempts. That's 887 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: the angle I came to because I like this two ways. 888 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: Either I was right, Seattle won and they probably ran 889 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: the ball some and it was Kenneth Walker, or I 890 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: was right, Seattle didn't cover. I trusted my instinct, but 891 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: they got caught in kind of an ugly low scoring 892 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: back and forth game because they kept running a Walker 893 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: into the line over and over unsuccessfully, and it let 894 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals hang around. So the line for Walker is 895 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,919 Speaker 1: twelve and a half rushing attempts. I'm gonna take the over. 896 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals have allowed six straight running back one to go over. 897 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: That number that includes that game against Seattle. Walker had 898 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: nineteen carries that game. In fact, Sharboney had twelve, so 899 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: he almost went over as well. So the key here 900 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,800 Speaker 1: is which running back again, Sharbone is consistent though pretty 901 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: much around ten or twelve a game. It's Walker who's inconsistent. 902 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: If you play fantasy, trust me, you know that four 903 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,760 Speaker 1: times this season ten or eleven carries, three times sixteen 904 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: to nineteen carries. So this is me banking on one 905 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: of those higher end ones. And look, I'm not betting yards. 906 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't really trust Walker to produce. The whole point 907 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: is that I think Arizona wants him to run and 908 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,240 Speaker 1: not produce. So this is not a volume rushing yards angle. 909 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: This is a volume attempts angle over twelve and a half. 910 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: Arizona last six games has allowed fifteen, seventeen, nineteen and 911 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: twenty one carry games to a running back one. So 912 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 1: let's take the escalator. At DraftKings eighteen carries is plus 913 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: three eighty twenty carries is plus six to fifty. Remember 914 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 1: nineteen carries last time these teams played for Kenneth Walker, 915 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: so it fits the script. And just in case, twenty 916 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: four carries plus seventeen forty at DraftKings. Walker did do 917 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: that once each of the last two seasons. He's hit 918 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: that fiven a screw can be a workhorse. Probably Seattle's 919 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: going to be winning in that scenario, but hey, I 920 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: like Seattle will win this game anyways. I think they're 921 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 1: the better team. We probably need like a charbonnet, you know, 922 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: calf cramp there he sits out the second half or 923 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: something to get that one, but got to touch it. 924 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: Just in case, I think Kenneth Walker gets a lot 925 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: of the ball, even if that's what both teams want here. 926 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 2: So the only reason I disagree with you on anything 927 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,319 Speaker 2: in this is I think his yardage is actually a 928 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 2: decent bed as well. The stat that I kind of 929 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 2: lean on. Here worst broken and mistackle percentage this year 930 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 2: on rush giants won, Okay, cool, Buffalo two, Yeah, makes sense. 931 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 2: Three is Arizona and four of the Jets. So in 932 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 2: my opinion, like I love the handicap. And then you 933 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 2: look back at the rush attempts. Here's his last six 934 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 2: games versus Arizona nineteen sixteen, seventeen, twenty six, twenty six, 935 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 2: twenty one. Now, listen, that was a different team without 936 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 2: a Charbona, and he was getting the rocket all the time. 937 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 2: So listen, I look at the last I believe it's 938 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 2: yet last five games, charbon Ay. I mean Walker has 939 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 2: out snapped Sharbona in four of those five games, So 940 00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 2: to me, he's going to get the opportunities. So I 941 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 2: think you're right on that, and I think Arizona can 942 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,280 Speaker 2: be beat that area. So I think the rush attempt 943 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 2: may be safer, but I could see him breaking one 944 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 2: maybe a longest rush. I don't even know what that 945 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 2: number is, but I like the look on Kenneth one. 946 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes, if the attempts are there, I don't mind mixing 947 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: in a yard's you know spot or two on the 948 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 1: escalator where because you can hit that one. Even if 949 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: you're wrong about the attempts, you might get one long 950 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,320 Speaker 1: one that ends up covering and hitting the yards over anyway, 951 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 1: So I like kind of mixing it up, giving yourself 952 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 1: a few outs that way. 953 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's keep going here, Shanahan McVeigh, Rams Niners. 954 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 2: What is the angle you want in this beautiful match. 955 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna take Pukinakua overs. So we already took 956 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: Rams minus three on the hot read. Still love that, 957 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: but it's minus four and a half now, so we 958 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,240 Speaker 1: got our value. We don't want it anymore at that number. 959 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,760 Speaker 1: I still think this is a great spot for Rams 960 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: offense against what, to me is maybe the worst defense 961 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: in the league right now with all those injuries san 962 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: Fran number thirty one e paper play middle of the 963 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: field man. That's in beat for Shanahan of all teams, Like, 964 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: that's where he lives, attacking his middle of the field. 965 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,919 Speaker 1: But unfortunately that's where Puka lives too, so I think 966 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: he could eat Stafford, had a huge game against them 967 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: the last time they've played now usually with Puka, I 968 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 1: want receptions. I'm gonna play yards here and I will 969 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: tell you why. Receptions has been priced in already. Eight 970 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: receptions is minus one thirty for Nkua, so I don't 971 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: see a lot of value there. But the Niners have 972 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,960 Speaker 1: allowed the seventh most receiver yards this season. Nkua had 973 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 1: eighty five last game against them on ten catches JSN 974 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 1: nine for one twenty four. I think a similar stylistic 975 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: receiver to Nakua and also the Niners. This is kind 976 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: of what we just talked about Walker. Niners are bottom 977 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,439 Speaker 1: ten against deep passes as well, not usually Puka's thing, 978 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: but if he gets even one deep pass, we might 979 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 1: get a chunk play in there and get some extra 980 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,880 Speaker 1: yards that way too. So I wanted eight, nine, ten receptions. 981 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: That's where I started, but I don't see the value. 982 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna play yards instead. One hundred yards is plus 983 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 1: one sixteen at DraftKings. So here's why. Puka in his 984 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: career fifteen games with eight receptions or more, he's ad 985 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 1: one hundred yards in eleven of those fifteen, so seventy 986 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: three percent. So this is kind of me saying, well, 987 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: I wanted eight catches, Well what happened. If he gets 988 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,399 Speaker 1: eight catches, he's gonna get some yards too, So I'm 989 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: gonna play the yards instead. In those games with eight catches, 990 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 1: he's averaging one hundred and twenty six yards a game. 991 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and fifty and six of them, 992 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: so about forty percent of those, So sprinkling on the 993 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: way up. One hundred and twenty yards at plus two 994 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: twenty three, one hundred and fifty yards is six to 995 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: one once the market goes up. If you like kind 996 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: of most receiving yards on the day or most in 997 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 1: the afternoon slate, he might be a candidate for that 998 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: one as well. Not going to be a huge price 999 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,719 Speaker 1: because we already know Puka is good, but he's been 1000 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 1: great in this matchup and I like him again here, 1001 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: So yards for Puka this week, not receptions. 1002 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 2: The stat that kind of blew me away because we've 1003 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,240 Speaker 2: been talking about San Francisco's defense, especially the past defense, 1004 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 2: for a little while, but they're allowing six point three 1005 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,400 Speaker 2: yards per snap as a primary defender, like the marriage 1006 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 2: is doing really, really terribly, and that's their worst number 1007 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one. And the thing I wanted to 1008 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 2: make sure of when I was looking at Puca is 1009 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 2: first read percentage. So this year he's got a nine 1010 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 2: percent nine percent delta on DeVante in that category, so 1011 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 2: all good there. They are looking at him a ton 1012 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,439 Speaker 2: and since week four, that's fine. It's still a six 1013 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 2: percent delta and with that thirty five less routes and 1014 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 2: eleven more receptions. So the Rams they're playing very well, 1015 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 2: Stafford's playing very well. They're still looking for Puka. All 1016 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 2: makes sense there. So I like the angle and San 1017 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 2: Francisco's pass defense, like we talked about, pretty bad to me. 1018 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 2: This is the last angle forty nine ers in Rams 1019 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 2: have met fourteen times since twenty nineteen. The underdog is 1020 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 2: thirteen and one against the spread in those games. Kyle 1021 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 2: Shanahan is eight in zero if we are right, and 1022 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 2: San Francisco stays in this game and plays well, and 1023 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 2: it's just going to get way more opportunities than the 1024 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,919 Speaker 2: Rams blowing them away. That's my That's that's the way 1025 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 2: I look at this. So I like the pookle. Look, 1026 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 2: let's keep rolling here, Browns and Jets. This is one 1027 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,280 Speaker 2: I just don't get it. Like you and I completely 1028 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 2: on the same page almost all the time. And you know, 1029 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,760 Speaker 2: you look at these picks and you say to yourself, okay, 1030 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 2: like you and I kind of think on the same 1031 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 2: wavelength a lot. It's just the way of handicapping, in 1032 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 2: the way of attacking certain statistical advantages. To me, I'm 1033 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 2: waiting on you. What do you think? Like, how are 1034 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 2: you betting this game? I want to hear it. 1035 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Browns Jets obviously just ugly, ugly game. Two tanking teams. 1036 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: They probably both prefer to lose. It looks rainy, it 1037 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: looks windy. We talked about the lineuplip. Everything in me 1038 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 1: says under under under, Like, what an ugly game? This 1039 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 1: is an under. We're taking the mind shaft. Nope, we're 1040 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: going the other way. Brown's Jets over thirty seven and 1041 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 1: a half, Browns Jets over escalat and we're taking it 1042 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: all the way out. So here's where we started. I 1043 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: looked at this as the hot read. I looked at 1044 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 1: it as the under. I'll be honest, because we know 1045 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: the stat both these teams are coming off the bye 1046 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: week and off the bye week double by usually means 1047 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 1: you want under. We just played that angle last week. 1048 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: But in that spot when the total is below forty, 1049 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,439 Speaker 1: the over is eight and two over the last two 1050 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: decades by almost a touchdown. When it's thirty eight or 1051 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: below like this one. The over is five and zero. 1052 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 1: Every one of those games at forty four points are 1053 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,719 Speaker 1: higher average, almost fifty one points a game. Okay, now 1054 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: look five games and two decades, so we did not 1055 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 1: have much sample here, but we've taken a lot of 1056 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 1: these ugly unders. It's way easier to go over a 1057 00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 1: low under because you take a low under, you just 1058 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,760 Speaker 1: need to turn the game off and not pay attention. 1059 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: Like it is stress every second of the game. Any 1060 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: score like it's zero zero, end of the first quarter, 1061 00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: you're feeling great, and all of a sudden, one team's 1062 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna touched it. You do the math, you're like, oh no, 1063 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 1: we're like right back and play again. We have stop 1064 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 1: scoring here. You go over. You can get points in 1065 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,439 Speaker 1: a hurry. So I dig in a little bit more. 1066 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 1: Browns games thirty seven are higher. Not asking much, but 1067 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,919 Speaker 1: that's the line we're looking at here. All but three 1068 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: times this season in the Browns games, they've had forty 1069 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: four or more. Three times already they did have a 1070 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: fifty eight to the Browns. The Jets, meanwhile, they've got 1071 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: two games really bad that we unfortunately had to watch 1072 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 1: both of them. But otherwise forty or more all but 1073 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: those two games, averaging fifty eight points a game. In 1074 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: those we've had a Jets game with fifty six. We 1075 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 1: had fifty nine, we had a sixty six, we had 1076 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,959 Speaker 1: a seventy seven. There are points in these games sometimes. Now, look, 1077 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to convince you on the 1078 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: field about these offenses. They're terrible, But let me help 1079 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,839 Speaker 1: with the defenses. Jets defense ranks thirtieth. They haven't been 1080 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 1: good anyway, and they traded away Sauce and Quinnin Williams. 1081 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:03,280 Speaker 1: They benched Quincy Williams, and Brown's changed offensive coordinators. Tommy 1082 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: Reese is the new play caller. Is he magic? I 1083 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: don't know. But it can't get any worse. It can 1084 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: really only get better against a pretty beatable defense. And 1085 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: here's the key thing. Brown's defense, as good as they've 1086 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:19,280 Speaker 1: been this year, have crazy home road splits this season. 1087 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 1: At home eleven points a game allowed by the Browns 1088 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: on the road thirty two and a half points a game. 1089 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,240 Speaker 1: And those are not slouches. At home. They faced Joe Burrow, 1090 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 1: Jordan Love that, the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel. This is 1091 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: not new either, if you look back two years ago, 1092 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,280 Speaker 1: the Browns had this amazing defense thirteen point nine points 1093 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 1: a game allowed at home, thirty one point three on 1094 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: the road. This is a consistent thing where at home 1095 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: the defense is amazing. On the road they are not 1096 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 1: doing well. Jets games are eleven and four to the 1097 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 1: over at their last fifteen. So we're going over this 1098 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: ugly game thirty seven and a half, and if it 1099 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,120 Speaker 1: goes over, it might go a lot over. Let's pray 1100 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,240 Speaker 1: to the football gods that evan. This is the weird 1101 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,280 Speaker 1: game that shows up at the top of our rundown 1102 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: on Sunday nights, the thirty nine to thirty eight. Can 1103 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,440 Speaker 1: you believe it? Who saw this coming? We saw it coming. 1104 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna be a escalator over forty three and a 1105 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 1: half plus two to twenty right below that key number. 1106 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,080 Speaker 1: That one's reasonable enough, But we're not done there, not 1107 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,800 Speaker 1: even close. Fifty or more points plus three ninety fifty 1108 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,800 Speaker 1: six or more plus eight thirty sixty or more points 1109 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,879 Speaker 1: thirteen to one sixty six or more points twenty five 1110 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 1: to one. We've hit Jets games at those numbers this year. 1111 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 1: Let's get wild. We're just full contrarian here. I don't 1112 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: know either, but Jets, Brown's find me some points and 1113 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:47,279 Speaker 1: let's go over. 1114 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 2: All I have to say is the Jets did keep 1115 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,359 Speaker 2: their offensive players and trade their defensive place exactly, so 1116 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 2: maybe you're onto something there. I think the weather could 1117 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,720 Speaker 2: lead to some Cleveland offense from Junkins. So what angle 1118 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,760 Speaker 2: I think? And I literally just looked this up while 1119 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 2: you were talking about this, Like if you did over 1120 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 2: forty and a half and Junkets to get two, you're 1121 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,840 Speaker 2: up to about six to one. To me, that's something 1122 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 2: I could easily see. Like, if you're gonna have a rain, sloppy, windy, 1123 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 2: he's gonna get a ton of carries. He could get three, 1124 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 2: which he's done, I believe before he got to get 1125 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 2: two in that game. 1126 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: He did that in a super weather game the last 1127 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: time he got the three touchdowns we played it. 1128 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 2: So I feel like the angle is there to do 1129 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 2: a few fun things on the ground considerably what we 1130 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 2: just saw. But I can't wait for this one to 1131 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 2: be at the head of the rundown. It's gonna be 1132 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 2: like it. 1133 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 1: If we're right at all that we end up way 1134 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: over thirty eight points, then that also almost certainly means 1135 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 1: that the props for this game are right for the 1136 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 1: picking that you can go nuts on overs because touchdown odds, 1137 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: yardage overs like there's there's gotta be more to those 1138 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: as well, so you can probably build some fun same 1139 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 1: game parlays. If you like the over angle, like you're 1140 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 1: saying throwing Judkins, if you like Jets to score, maybe 1141 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: it's a brief game. Maybe it's Garrett Wilson can get creative, 1142 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: but let's see some points. 1143 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dylan Gabriel can't see Jerry Judy, So maybe it's 1144 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 2: the tight ends like Joker that's gonna get some yardage. 1145 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 2: All right, last game here, before we get to the 1146 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 2: look ahead, you're looking for some tight end love Bucks, Patriots. 1147 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,000 Speaker 2: What are you doing? Is it Aunt Henry? 1148 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 1: It's not Hunter Henry. I thought about Hunter Henry. I'm 1149 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 1: going with the other team here. I'm gonna take a 1150 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: couple of bucks tight ends. I'm gonna play Payne Durham 1151 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: for a touchdown at ten to one. So let me 1152 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:37,919 Speaker 1: talk about how I got there, and then the bet 1153 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: that I really love here. So I'll be honest, this 1154 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 1: is just a super fun game Bos Patriots. I was like, man, 1155 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 1: I don't get to talk about this game. I want 1156 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: to bet for this game. How do we get to 1157 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 1: talk about this game? So I was digging and digging, 1158 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 1: but it's just it's kind of a mess. Like the 1159 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: Bucks out of the bye week, but we don't have 1160 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 1: Godwin or Backy practicing yet. We don't know if they're 1161 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: gonna play. Patriots offense might be without Ramondre Stevenson again, 1162 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: looks like boot might now play, looks like the center 1163 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 1: might not play. I don't have It's hard to get 1164 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 1: a read in this game because so many guys might 1165 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: be missing, and the Patriots had the super soft schedule. Okay, 1166 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,080 Speaker 1: well enter the Buccaneers coming out is kind of a 1167 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,960 Speaker 1: big test against Todd Bowles is suddenly pretty good defense. 1168 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: And I just think there's a lot of interesting coaching styles, 1169 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: interesting personnel groupings, a lot to like here. So a 1170 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 1: particular personnel grouping is what leads me to the angle. 1171 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: So both these teams defensively are great against base So 1172 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,439 Speaker 1: that's like one running back, one tight end. Both teams, though, 1173 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 1: prefer to not do that. They prefer to play in twelve, 1174 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: so that's two tight ends, one running back. Tampa in 1175 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 1: particular weeks one to five nineteen percent in twelve personnel. 1176 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: Last three games thirty nine percent, So more than double 1177 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 1: getting the tight end in the field. Why because Mike 1178 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: Evans is gone and all the receivers are hurt, so 1179 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 1: we need more tight ends on the field. So who 1180 00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: are the tight ends? It's Kate Onen, we know that 1181 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: he always plays, but now it's Payne Durham. He's gone 1182 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 1: up for about a quarter the snaps to almost half 1183 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 1: the last three games. And get his stats on the year. 1184 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: No catches one target, that's it the whole year. My 1185 01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: man blocks all game long, at every second he can. 1186 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,800 Speaker 1: But he's ten to one for a touchdown. The Patriots 1187 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 1: allow the sixth most touchdowns to tight ends on the season, 1188 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 1: and he's on the field half the game in a 1189 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 1: game that we think should have a lot of points. 1190 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 1: Ten to one just feels a little bit too long 1191 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 1: on that one. But I'll be honest, I really really 1192 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,600 Speaker 1: just wanted Kate Odden props, and until like an hour ago, 1193 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 1: they weren't out there yet, but now they are. I 1194 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 1: put this last on the rundown because I needed the 1195 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 1: number to pop as we were recording, and now we 1196 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 1: got it. I wanted Kate Adden receptions. We're taking the escalator. 1197 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Aughten is the only guy that catches passes. That's the 1198 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 1: whole point with what we just said of the parum 1199 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:56,480 Speaker 1: six catches the first four games, for atten last four games, 1200 01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: five catches per game. At least for every single game, 1201 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: he's at least four catches eleven of his last twenty, 1202 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,439 Speaker 1: with a six, seven, eight, eight, and nine catch game 1203 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: in there. The Patriots allow the seventh most fantasy points 1204 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 1: to tight end. Eight times they've had a four reception 1205 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: tight end, including four in the last three games. They've 1206 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 1: allowed tight end reception games this season with eight, nine, ten, 1207 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 1: and ten. Now those are mostly split between guys, but 1208 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: the bucks don't split. If Durham does catch a touchdown, 1209 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee you it'll be his one catch 1210 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 1: that he makes. So I want onton. I want it 1211 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: over three and a half. Looks like it's over four 1212 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 1: and a half. I'll skip and go right to the escalator. 1213 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 1: Seven catches plus three point fifty eight plus seven hundred 1214 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: nine for twelve hundred. I'm playing all three. And this 1215 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 1: would have been much higher up on the rundown because 1216 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,480 Speaker 1: I really like this angle. But it just pops, so 1217 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 1: they'll get those in right away. 1218 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 2: New England's allowed ninth most receptions to tight end, seventh 1219 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 2: most yards to tight ends. And the thing that I 1220 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 2: like about the Durham angle, you mentioned it with the formation, 1221 01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 2: but also you just look at the tight ended up 1222 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 2: scored against New England a guy named Mitchell Evans Njoku, 1223 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 2: which okay, got it, but so did Fannin, so they 1224 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 2: both scored. And then Tommy Tremble. I don't remember if 1225 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 2: that was a Jatavian Sanders game as well, but to 1226 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 2: me your understanding with the names, I think anyone could 1227 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 2: kind of get into the end zone, especially a unknown 1228 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 2: tight end from the blocking side. So ten to one 1229 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 2: hard to go against there, and I love it especially 1230 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna expect God winning this game, 1231 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 2: which just leads to more opportunity. So all right, let's 1232 01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 2: go to the look ahead. Now, last week you're on 1233 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 2: Detroit minus three, which congratulations. If you get a backup 1234 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 2: quarterback every time you take a look aheadline and you 1235 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 2: get five points on the line, you're gonna be doing 1236 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 2: really well. Carolina and Atlanta is the game you're looking at, 1237 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,720 Speaker 2: So I'm just kind of interested in your thought process here, 1238 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 2: because obviously we just took the Carolina side a little 1239 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 2: bit earlier, a different way. So how are you thinking 1240 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 2: about it next week? 1241 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 1: Let's look ahead, skim a shot. 1242 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 2: How about next week? 1243 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I got my mindset, got my mindset. Yeah, so it's 1244 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,000 Speaker 1: a little bit against my own pick earlier, but I'm 1245 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna take Carolina here. It's plus three and a half 1246 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: at DraftKings, and really, I'll be honest the lines last week, 1247 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 1: you agreed that was one of my best look aheads 1248 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,959 Speaker 1: of the season. We love that we got a little 1249 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,480 Speaker 1: lucky with the injury, but that was part of the 1250 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: cap that Daniels was a risk. Again, this one's a 1251 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: little bit later. This is probably not my favorite look ahead, 1252 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: but it's one specific angle. It's that the Falcons, who 1253 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 1: we just talked about a while ago, are coming back 1254 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: from Berlin with no rest, and you know I love 1255 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: the no rest after you come back from a national angle. 1256 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: Teams in that spot have been tighter trailing in the 1257 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 1: fourth quarter sixteen out of eighteen games now in this 1258 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 1: international series. So if the Falcons are tighter trailing in 1259 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, then I have to feel pretty good 1260 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,440 Speaker 1: about a Panthers cover at three and a half, so 1261 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 1: matchup wise, I do think Panthers run defense against the 1262 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Falcons should be pretty good. I make this by the 1263 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: line closer to a toss up, especially when you kind 1264 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: of add in maybe like a point for Carolina with 1265 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: Atlanta's rest disadvantage. Here, these games usually are pretty close 1266 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 1: and the rivalryes. Seven of the last eleven are one 1267 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: score games, So getting three and a half, getting above 1268 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 1: the key number is the key here. And look, yes 1269 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,919 Speaker 1: I picked Carolina to lose, but they're supposed to beat 1270 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: the Saints, which would suddenly mean that they've won five 1271 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 1: of six and they're in the playoff race. I don't 1272 01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 1: really buy it, but books might buy it, betters might 1273 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: buy it, and more importantly, Atlanta if they lose to Indy, 1274 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 1: which I do think happens. They're on a four game 1275 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 1: losing streak with no arrest back from Berlin, and I 1276 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: think suddenly people are like, oh, I kind of thought 1277 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,959 Speaker 1: Atlanta was the other playoff threat in this division. Maybe 1278 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 1: it's Carolina and we're not getting a three and a 1279 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 1: half after that, So this is really about the key number, 1280 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 1: and it's about that rest disadvantage. Spot Panthers plus three 1281 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,200 Speaker 1: and a half, even though I know I picked them 1282 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 1: to lose a little bit earlier, so hopefully we get 1283 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: maybe both of them. But Atlanta, go embarrass yourself Sunday morning. 1284 01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Let's get this line to movie either way. 1285 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,919 Speaker 2: I like how you and I think differently, because I thought, 1286 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 2: in my head, well, at least still get one of them. 1287 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 2: You wanted both of them. Well that's fine as well. 1288 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 2: All right, that'll dude.
