1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntire. 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: What is up, straight fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. 3 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Friday, September the nineteenth. Oh boy, listen, 4 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 2: I know we had a decent Thursday night football game. Obviously, 5 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: the Bills come out. They do not cover the spread 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: in the first half or full game, disappointing. I will 7 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: confess I missed a large chunk of this game due 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: to the season opener in my men's league. And yeah, 9 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: I'm gonna confess a little more. I'm so dumb that 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: I signed up for two basketball leagues. So twice a 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 2: week for the next six seven weeks, well maybe eight 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: or nine including playoffs, I'm gonna be playing hoops in 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: leagues two nights a week. It's probably gonna be too much, 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: so your boy's gonna need some extra rest. But we 15 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: got the dub. It was way closer than it should 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: have been. We led by fifteen most of the way 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: and then kind of fell asleep and they came back. 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: But we ended up winning by like seven. But listen, 19 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: they fought hard. We've got a really good team. We 20 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 2: are the favorites and you don't care about that, but uh, 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 2: We've got about ten to twelve minutes of best bets 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: at the end of the podcast. If you missed college 23 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: football bets, they were yesterday. By the way, I added, 24 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: I finally fired on Texas Tech against Utah. I know 25 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: they won't cover, but out of principle I have to, 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: so hopefully they deliver. So the positive in this game 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: if you're a Miami Dolphins fan is your team fought 28 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: hard and they're driving with what four minutes left down 29 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: seven to try and tie the game. And that was 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: I think surprising a lot of people because it's like 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: all Miami stinks, and yes they're ow and three, and yes, 32 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: one team that has started oh and three has made 33 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: the playoffs this century zero and three is it's really 34 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: it's over if you go in three. So Miami fought hard. 35 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: And Buffalo they've done this at times in the Josh 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: Allen era where they kind of just take their foot 37 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: off the gas. It's fourteen seven near the end of 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: the first half, and they go to kick what like 39 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: a thirty nine yard field goal praterer and he just 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: shanks it. It's like, what that would have been the 41 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: cover for the first half? It was minus seven Miami 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: gets the ball. Sixteen play, seventy one yard drive, including 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: three really impressive third down conversions, a third and twelve pass, 44 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: a third and ten, and then a third and like 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: nine run by two. 46 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: So like the. 47 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: Dolphins were fought hard. They didn't look terrible. They look competent. Okay, 48 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: But as I said, they're driving, there were let's see 49 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: it was they had a third and four with five 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: minutes left, and Tua dump off to waddle. They get 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: thirteen yards, and you know, everybody's like, oh, well, they 52 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: got a shot here, and then first intend at the 53 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: buffalo twenty one and to under heavy pressure, and I 54 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: challenge you go look at the replay, guys. It is 55 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: so embarrassing. How bad the right guard got whooped. I 56 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: mean he got humiliated in like half a second. And 57 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: so as a result to a has to throw. Now 58 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: you could argue, hey, listen, time situation. There was three 59 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: minutes and four seconds left. Okay, Tua, it's first down, 60 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: take a sack, dirt it, throw it away, don't throw 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: a pick. So he just chucks it to the short 62 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: read too. I think it was he was going to 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: Washington or Wattle, and Bernard steps in front of it. 64 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, it was a bad throw, but if 65 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: you look at the replay, Tua under heavy pressure and 66 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: made a bad decision. Listen, trying to tie the game. 67 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: Buffalo comes down, by the way, kicks a field goal 68 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: and gets the the cover. If you got ten, you 69 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: would I have ten minus one twenty nine you got 70 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: the cover. But you know, overall impressive from Miami. My 71 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: guess is that they will not be firing Mike McDaniel 72 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: here because remember they have until Monday before their next game, 73 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: so they've got like extended rest. You could say, hey, 74 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: we fire the coach and we promote elevate someone else, 75 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: and we have time to like get our books in order. 76 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: I don't think they do that. That's just my gut. 77 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: I like Mike McDaniel. I mean, honestly, this guy in 78 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: It's funny. I looked at the record, so he and 79 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: Dabell took over the same year, and his record is ten. 80 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: He has ten more wins than Brian Dabele does in 81 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: that time span. He's been to the playoffs twice. I 82 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: know Dabell got to win my Daniel Jones one in Minnesota. 83 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: TA has not yet gotten one, but he's had a 84 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: good three years. It just I know everybody wants to 85 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: sell him because this is what we do. Hey, Mike 86 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: McDaniel genius went to Yale. Oh look at me, so smart, 87 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: he's amazing. Oh wait a minute, he stinks he lost 88 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: the locker room. Well, it's not like they got a 89 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: great roster, guys, they don't have a great roster. I mean, 90 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: we were at the point where I saw people speculating 91 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: whether or not Buffalo, sorry Miami should do what Denver 92 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: did to Russell Wilson, where they were like, hey, you 93 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: know what, take a pay cut or we're just gonna 94 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: cut you and take the dead head cap hit. I 95 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: was like, what, seriously is it that bleak for Miami? 96 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: Did we forget that? Just a couple of years ago, 97 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: the Mike McDaniel offense dropped a seventy burger on Sean 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: Payton's Broncos. Do we forget that? Is he all of 99 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: a sudden he's just not an offensive mastermind anymore? Well, 100 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: you know, you kind of need an offensive line to 101 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: do that, and they still don't have one. When two 102 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: has been healthy, he's been pretty good. I mean again, 103 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: that interception was a killer, But I just don't know 104 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: what you gain by dumping McDaniel. Now you got the Jets. 105 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: Necks that's winnable on Monday and football jetstink. Then you 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: got Carolina at Carolina, they're not world beaters. So let's 107 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: say you win those two. You don't know if you're 108 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: facing Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields, but neither one of 109 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: those guys scare you. And so now you're two and 110 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: three with games against the Chargers in Cleveland on the horizon. 111 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: It's like, you know, the Chargers will be favored on 112 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: the road in Miami, and then Miami at Cleveland. It's 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: gonna feel like a toss up. So let's not act 114 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: like the season is totally over. They can fight, they 115 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: could play spoiler. Let me remind you Joe Burrow is 116 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: out for three months. The Kansas City Chiefs are zero 117 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: to two, the Houston Texans are zero and two. The 118 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the five hoorst defenses in 119 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: the league, and they face Seattle and the Jets. So 120 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: let's not act like Miami's totally cooked here. Obviously, getting 121 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: to the playoffs is gonna be incredibly difficult, but everybody 122 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: knows you need some luck along the way, right. I mean, 123 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: if you get the Broncos falling off, it appears as 124 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: if Jags, well, the Jags have a win. I don't 125 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: think the Colts will keep this up. So let's assume 126 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: one playoff team from the South. I don't think the 127 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: Bengals are going to be a playoff team without Burrow. 128 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: So now you gotta find another playoff team, Like, somebody's 129 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: got to step up and get in the mix. Listen. 130 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: I know they have not looked good, but I like 131 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: what I saw, and I'm a believer in McDaniel. I'm 132 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: telling you guys. Everybody's like, oh, yeah, he's great offensive coordinator. No, no, no, no, 133 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: he's been a really good head coach in Miami. Okay, 134 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: they covered the spread in a playoff lost to Buffalo, 135 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: and he had his backup Skyler Thompson. And then they 136 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: went to Kansas City and it was like negative thirty 137 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: five degrees and they lost. And I think they had 138 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: an injured offensive line going in that game. At the 139 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: memory search, that was an easy bet. It was the 140 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs and Mahomes like, come on, so you 141 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: guys can sell Miami al you want? Yes, did they 142 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: stink the first two weeks, Yes, have we not seen improvement? 143 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: Going to Buffalo and being in a one score game 144 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: with four minutes left like that, to me is impressive. 145 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: So I give props to McDaniel and Frankly like, I 146 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: like McDaniel, Soby I would take him in a heartbeat 147 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: on the Jets. And I know Aaron Glenn Jason, you 148 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: got him time. Fine, we'll give eron Glenn plenty of time. 149 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 150 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: the nation.

I just 155 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: love watching him play football, you know, he kind of 156 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 2: I'm trying to think who he runs like. Maybe because 157 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: he wears four. He just looks thinner and faster than 158 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook. Did I think Dalvin Cook? What number did he? 159 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: I think? 160 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: Did he wear four? Two? 161 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 2: But it almost feels like James Cook is slithery. Yeah, 162 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook wore four in Minnesota, but he, for whatever reason, 163 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: was like a little bulkier. No, it looked like Dalvin 164 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: Cook also wore thirty three. Oh yeah, he did wear 165 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: thirty three, but there's a four signed jersey with Cook. 166 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: I guess he wore four and then changed to thirty whatever. 167 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: Oh he wore four at FSU two. The skinny number 168 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: maybe makes you look quicker and faster and slythery, because 169 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: that's what I see with Cook every time he gets hit. 170 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: Though I'm kind of wincing, like, please don't get hurt. 171 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: You're carrying my fantasy team, and Kinkaid had a good 172 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: game for me. I'm also the jackass who dumped Dalton 173 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: Kincaid because I wanted to get a defense this week, 174 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: the Falcons defense. Now I'm on it's a ten team 175 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 2: league and I have Tucker Craft, and I know you 176 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: don't give a shit about fantasy teams, but I don't 177 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: even know if anybody's gonna pick up kin Kaid after 178 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: that game. Somebody might, but Bill's are triumphant and it 179 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 2: starts off week three. I recorded best bets earlier because 180 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: I've laid most of them. I didn't touch on Survivor, 181 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: so I lost my first Survivor. I'm in multiple Survivor leagues. 182 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: The one in Vegas with David Baker. Then I'm in 183 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 2: one on this site called super a Survivor Bowl where 184 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: ten thousand of the winner five thousand to charity bragging 185 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: Rights for life. That's how they It's a bunch of 186 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: media people. And I did lose an entry with the 187 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: Texans of Bastards, and this week in Survivor, let's see 188 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 2: what I have. I think you've got to consider Seattle. 189 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: I think you've got to consider the Packers. I would 190 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: be very careful with Tampa, as we'll get to here shortly. 191 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: In best Bets, the Bucks offensive line is a mass unit. 192 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: I just I don't know, guys, I don't know if 193 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: they're gonna get it done. I like Atlanta in Carolina. 194 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: If you're looking for big favorites, Atlanta the Packers. Now 195 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: both are on the road, which is I see Seattle's 196 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: at home. I think most people will take them. I 197 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: would personally try to save well, if you burn Buffalo, whatever, fine, 198 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: I would always try to save Buffalo and Baltimore, as 199 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: they have a lot of value going forward. And if 200 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: you're in a league with a bunch of entries and 201 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: you want to like take a flyer on our team, 202 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: I mean, you know I would consider, and this is risky. 203 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't totally endorse this, but if you want to 204 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: be like, let me take a team where they have 205 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: no future value going forward, folks. The Dallas Cowboys have 206 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: no future value going forward? Are they losing the Bears 207 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 2: in Chicago? Now, I know this is gonna be a 208 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson like special, but I think Dallas is an 209 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: interest flyer this week. I don't know if you could 210 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: pull the trigger on Washington with Jayden Daniels even against 211 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: the Raiders, because Marcus Mariota may start, and I think 212 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: going forward, this is what This will be the best 213 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: week to use the Atlanta Falcons in Seattle because they 214 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: will never have any value. Sniffingness Seattle in week fifteen 215 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: might have some value. Atlanta is barely over fifty percent 216 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: until Week eighteen, when I believe they're against the Saints, 217 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 2: So strongly consider one of those. But that's only if 218 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: you have many entries and you can take a chance 219 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: and get a leg up on the field. So that's 220 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: where we are now. Hey quick, So many good TV 221 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 2: shoods out there right now. The wife and I are 222 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: watching High Potential. Season one was excellent, it's on ABC, 223 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: so you know, it's it's not your typical streaming show. 224 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: I enjoy that show thought provoking. I think Terminal List 225 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: is the best show I've seen this year. It is 226 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 2: amazing Tim Riggins starring in it. This season does not 227 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: have a lot of Chris Pratt. What's the other ones? 228 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: Uh? 229 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: I'm watching The Wednesday, which is a little scarier this year. 230 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: My kids kind of bailed on it, but I think 231 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: Wednesday is good. And then I am watching Hunting Wives, 232 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: which is tough because you can't watch that around kids 233 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: since it's essentially soft core. There's so much like surprising 234 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: stuff in there. I think it's it's fun. I don't 235 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: know if the whys are gonna watch it, They're gonna 236 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: think it's trashy. So you know, Tuesday Wednesday is when 237 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: you can kind of lay up a little bit on 238 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: the NFL, take a break and uh and and stream 239 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: some shows. It's it's a good error to stream anyways. Uh. 240 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: Here comes best bets for the weekend. 241 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 242 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: the nation.

The only thing better than sitting on your 245 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: couch watching the game. He's making money while you do it. 246 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: Here's your best bet. 247 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the best bet portion of 248 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: the podcast. Week one was awesome, we too less awesome. 249 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: Missed a big bet on the Titans, hit a big 250 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: bet on the Lions, hit the over on Panthers Cardinals, 251 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: and then there was a smattering of other picks that 252 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: hit and missed. I think this is a great teaser week. 253 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: I gotta start that. I like teasing the Rams up 254 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: to nine nine and a half, and I like teasing 255 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: the Cardinals up as well. Cardinals and Niners is a 256 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: good matchup, good game. We still don't know if brock 257 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: Perty's going to start. 258 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: We'll see. 259 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: I assume it's mac Jones, but I don't think they 260 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: run away and hide from the Cardinals. They could certainly 261 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: do it, but I don't know that they will, if 262 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: that makes any sense. Combo of these teams also Packers, 263 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: I think you tease them down for sure. On the 264 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: road against the Browns. It's a slightly dangerous game. We'll 265 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: talk about it a little more in depth in a moment. 266 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: And I like Seattle probably. I like them to win 267 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: a lot, but you know, again, I'll get to that 268 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: game in a moment. So if you tease Packers down, 269 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: Seattle down, Baltimore down, although Baltimore doesn't go through the 270 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: seven and three, it just goes through the three. Obviously, 271 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: everybody know that's Monday, so we could talk more about 272 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: it on Monday. But Lamar twenty four and two against 273 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: the NFC, he just he dominated. You can't prepare for him. 274 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: And are the Lions closer to fifty to twenty against 275 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: the Bears or getting smacked around by the Packers And 276 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: the answer is probably somewhere in the middle. Of course. 277 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: You know, you could make a motivational angle Dan Campbells 278 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: showing videos of the last time they were in Baltimore 279 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: got their ass kicked thirty eight to six and it 280 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: was thirty five nothing in the third quarter. You could 281 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: Dan Campbell can motivate the hell out of them. Being said, 282 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, it was kind of a sleepy spot last 283 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: week for the Ravens and they didn't look good, but 284 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: they still blasted the Browns. But it's the Browns very 285 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: very curious if they were able to get after Jared 286 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: Goff the way they were able to get after Joe Flackel. 287 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 2: That'll be interesting, all right, So straight up, I really 288 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: really really like and I know you're gonna be sick 289 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: to your stomach over this. The Tennessee Titans right loved 290 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: them in week one, loved them in week two. One 291 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: of those was a hit. The problem, of course, is 292 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: the Indianapolis culture. What do we do with them at home? 293 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: They smash Miami, they get lucky to beat the Broncos 294 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: with that leverage nonsense, and the Titans row in two. 295 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: But then you drill down a little further and instead 296 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: of just bashing cam Ward for no stats, you say, oh, 297 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: he had to go to Denver. Okay, he had to 298 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: go to Denver in his first ever game, which was 299 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: a massive challenge. And then after that the Rams came 300 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: to Tennessee, and the Rams have one of the nastiest 301 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: fronts in the league, and he was kind of overwhelmed. 302 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: Yet it was still a four point game in the 303 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 2: fourth quarter before a fumble by Ward kind of opened 304 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: the floodgates. I just don't think the Colts are as 305 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: good as advertised. Now, maybe Daniel Jones continues this incredible 306 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 2: run that he's had to start the season. I'm gonna 307 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: go ahead and say it doesn't happen. They're off the 308 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 2: fast track. Will Tennessee be able to bottle up Jonathan Taylor? 309 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 2: Obviously you've got to check the Titans injury report because 310 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: in the middle of their defense they have really you know, 311 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Simmons everybody knows is exceptional. But the other guy 312 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 2: who's shown well is Sweat from Texas, the big nose tackle. 313 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: You get those two in the middle and it's like, 314 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: oh geez, You're not able to really move much. He 315 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: is lightly practicing due to an ankle injury. Elsewhere you 316 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: see Lugarious Sneed did not practice due to a back tackle. 317 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: JC Latham has a hip injury. These are not great 318 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: things for a team this early in the season. That 319 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: being said, I'm utterly fascinated by the matchup of Callahan 320 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: from Cincinnati where he was ThEC for four or five years, 321 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: against his former DC in Cincy Lou Amaruno. And I 322 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: don't know, guys, I think the big edge here is 323 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 2: to Callahan. He knows where the weaknesses are, right, he 324 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: knows how to attack the Captain Low's defense. Oh, by 325 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: the way, Trevor Lawrence got to the red zone six time. 326 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: Sorry not Trevor Lawrence. Bo Nicks got to the red 327 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 2: zone repeatedly last week in Indy. If bon Nicks doesn't 328 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 2: throw a terrible interception on third down and cost them 329 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: a field goal, if the kicker doesn't hit the upright, 330 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 2: I mean they basically they win that game. And all 331 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: of a sudden, what is this line? One and a half? 332 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: Two maybe, but because of that, all of a sudden, 333 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: now you got to pay a Colt's tax. And remember 334 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: the Colts were a short I believe they were a 335 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 2: short home dog against the Dolphins, and then last week 336 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: they were a dog against the Colts. Now they're in 337 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: a different position, favored to win by more than a 338 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: field goal the Indianapolis Colts. I think everybody's drinking the 339 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: kool aid. I'm on the Titans getting for and on 340 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: the money line. I don't want to do this on 341 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: a short week, but I think just I think I 342 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: got a roll with the Houston Texans here. Not not 343 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: a big play for me, but if I know they're 344 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: zero and two and they've played to you know, Tampa 345 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 2: Bay made the playoffs last year going to the Rams. 346 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: That was not easy. The Texans were driving to beat 347 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: the Rams before a great defensive play punched the ball 348 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: out right. And then last week Texans all they needed 349 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 2: was to stop a Baker Mayfield. Now, the Texans deaf 350 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: not look good, that's undeniable, but their weakness the offensive 351 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: line doesn't give the Jagson needs because the Jags defense 352 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: is crap. So you know, if this was in the preseason, 353 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 2: what's this line? Texans favored by maybe two, maybe two 354 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: and a half. I don't think they are a full 355 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: field goal. But remember, the Texans win the division. They 356 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: are supposedly the best team in the division. The Jags 357 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: were picked mostly to finish second, third or fourth. So 358 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: I think you're getting some value on the Texans here, 359 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: and I endorse a play on the Texans. I'm on 360 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: the Falcons now, listen. I got it three and a 361 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 2: half earlier. 362 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: This week. 363 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 2: I like it at four. I like it at five. 364 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: I know this sounds crazy, the Atlanta Falcons going outdoors 365 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 2: to face the Carolina Panthers, who have cluster injuries on 366 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: the offensive line. Folks, it's the only other offensive line 367 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 2: injuries as bad belong to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And yeah, 368 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: I think you've got to lay it with the Jets 369 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 2: there as well. I don't hate this. I think it 370 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: probably touches six on game day again. You know, I'm 371 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: irrationally high on the Falcons this year, and I don't 372 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 2: want to say they blow out Bryce Young company, But 373 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 2: when you've got four offensive linemen down, and let's see here, 374 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: a Falcons injury report looks pretty clean. A J. Terrell's 375 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: not going to play, which could mean a good game 376 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 2: for Ted McMillan, the young guy. But I mean that's 377 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 2: assuming Bryce Young's not running for his life. I just 378 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: I can't get over how bad the Panthers have looked 379 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: against like middling teams. Now, I'm higher than market on 380 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 2: the Falcons, so I believe they go on the road 381 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 2: and I would not be surprised if they won this 382 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: go easily by seventeen. I've seen nothing from the Panthers 383 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 2: that has suggested quality team. They were down twenty seven 384 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: to three before the Cardinals last week basically just stopped playing. 385 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: I think they were down twenty four to three or 386 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: something like that against the Jags. So I can't nobody 387 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: can talk me in Carolina being good. I've got to 388 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 2: see it from Bryce Young, and I have not seen it, 389 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: so I like the Falcons. I did bet the Niners 390 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: in the rivalry matchup. You know, I'm backing Mac Jones again, 391 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: it can be risky. They covered last week, not the 392 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 2: initial number when everybody thought Brock was playing, but they 393 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: covered the three, so I think Niners get the job 394 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: done at home. I've been disappointed in the Falcons, folks. 395 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie like. They just keep coming out 396 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: looking good early and then taking their foot off the gas. 397 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: That is a horrible, horrible way to play football. Eventually, 398 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: when you're not playing crap teams like the Saints and 399 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: the Panthers, They've played literally two of the five worst 400 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: teams in the league. Now you step up in class 401 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 2: against a Robert Salad defense. Kyle Shanahan's gonna scheme some 402 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: stuff up to get whoever open. I like the Niners. 403 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: I am gonna take the Jets. I don't recommend it, 404 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: but again, Tampa Bay sounds like they are playing musical 405 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: chairs with backups on the offensive line. It looks very 406 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: bleak for the Bucks. I like the Jets six and 407 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: a half. I don't care that it's Tyrod Taylor. I 408 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 2: might even play that in the contest because I don't 409 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 2: think anybody's going to be on the Jets obviously. I'm 410 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: on the Rams. We've talked about that earlier this week 411 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: if you missed that. And I do like the Seattle Seahawks. 412 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 2: I know seven's a big number against the Saints, and 413 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold has shown nothing so far in Seattle through 414 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: two games that says, hey, this guy can win with margin. 415 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: That being said, I don't see Spencer Ratler having much 416 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: success in Seattle, although there are some interesting numbers about 417 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: Seattle falling off a cliff defensively at home and offensively 418 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: like the last the mystique of playing at Luminfield in 419 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: the Twelfth Man and all that, that stuff's kind of 420 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: sort of gone. They just have not been as dominant 421 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: as they were in the Legion of boom Era. And 422 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 2: so yeah, maybe Spencer Ratler pulls off some stuff. I 423 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: have gotten burned by Seattle in the past. They're one 424 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 2: of these teams that plays down to their competition, which 425 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: I hate. That's like an Arizona Cardinals trade. It's like, 426 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 2: come on, guys, put teams away, don't play with your food. 427 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: The last one, and you know, I'm leaning Chargers. Nothing 428 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 2: there yet, but I think the Browns could be plucky 429 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: against the Packers. And I think I'm gonna have the 430 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 2: Browns in the contest as well, mostly because Green Bay 431 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: has Dallas next week and Micah Parsons is already getting asked. 432 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: Nobody's asking him about Joe Flacco, Nobody's asking them about 433 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: the Browns because they stink. It's all so next week 434 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 2: a Jerry world, you know? And I mean, is there 435 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: a world where the Packers kind of overlooked this having 436 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 2: played at the friendly confines of Lambeau for two weeks? 437 00:23:59,560 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: Quick bit? 438 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: Is this trip to Cleveland? Right? You're down? Jayden reads out? Now, 439 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't look like Christian Watson's ready yet. They got 440 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: injuries galore, And is there a world where they just 441 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 2: take their foot off the gas and don't show up? 442 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 2: Now we know Lafleura comes out of the gates hot 443 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: in the first two weeks. Historically, I like Lafleur a lot. 444 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: I think they win, But if they're not getting Micah 445 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: to if Mike is getting to Joe Flacco early, this 446 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: feels like game over for sure. But if they for 447 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: some reason are not locked in and dialed in, and 448 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 2: the dog pounds kind of popping. Can the Browns make 449 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: this interesting? Remember Packer's offensive line was down two starters 450 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: last week, and a lot of people, like Washington, I 451 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: said hell no, So Miles Garrett now has a chance 452 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: to do some wrecking at home. I you know, I 453 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 2: think it's an interesting line. The line has come down. 454 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 2: It was eight and a half, it's it's seven. So 455 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 2: I grabbed a little eight seven and a half, not 456 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: a huge one. It's more of a contest play for 457 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 2: me because I'm blatantly honest with you guys as always. 458 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: It's just tough for me to drip my after tax 459 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 2: dollars on bad teams and then not see it. Now 460 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: in the contest, it's a different story. You lose with 461 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: bad teams. Well, you know, I played the number. I 462 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 2: didn't bet the team. I bet the number. That's what 463 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: the pros do. The guys who gamble for a little 464 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: you know, Like I get that, but you know, you 465 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 2: put in actual dollars and you gotta you know, settle 466 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: up and so for that's not fun when you're betting 467 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: all these crap teams. Like imagine if you go to 468 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: War this weekend with cam Ward Joe Flacco, Tyrod Taylor 469 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: like that, these are some of the teams you're looking 470 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 2: at backing, but you you have to and ta my guy. 471 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: We gotta get him back next week on the Pod, 472 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: it feels like week three there is gonna be some 473 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: chaos because there's an overreaction of the first two weeks, 474 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: specifically the indianapolis Is of the world, specifically the Houstons 475 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: of the world. 476 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: Oh these teams stink. 477 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 2: Oh, these teams are great. You know, you get two 478 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: data points and now everybody feels like they have a 479 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 2: beat on a team. Oh, the Miami dolphinstink Dolphins look 480 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: kind of good last night. I don't know about you guys. 481 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 2: They did not look terribly awful, and I just it 482 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: just kind of sort of feels like, I know, we 483 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: didn't touch on Chiefs Giants. That could be interesting, or 484 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 2: the Chiefs could just kick their ass in the next 485 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: week and Russell Wilson loses his starting job. I have 486 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: nothing on Dak against the Bears yet, I don't know 487 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: what to make of it. The Bears have a ton 488 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 2: of injuries on the defensive side, and you know it 489 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: can easily make a case that Dak opens up a 490 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: can and throws for three hundred and fifty yards away 491 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 2: he did against the Giants. But on the same side, like, 492 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: hey man, why couldn't Ben Johnson scheme up stuff against 493 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: a bad Cowboys defense? They couldn't get stops against the 494 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: Eagles and got run over by Russell Wilson, Malik Neighbors, 495 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 2: and one Dale Robinson. And then there's oh and two 496 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: teams that I'm fading, like the Saints and Panthers just 497 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: because I don't think they're good at all. But oh 498 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: and two teams like the Titans, I think they're good. 499 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: We know the Chiefs are not going to be horrible, 500 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: Houston is a good oh and two team. And then 501 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: you know, you look at the Niners Cardinals game that 502 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: that is super duper interesting. I can't wait so many 503 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: good games this weekend. We had the college plays yesterday. 504 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: Check those out on the pod. See you Monday,
