27
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: the year and Simon is going to detail how we

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: finished and we needed a big week. We needed a

29
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: five and a week over the weekend. Scott Miller, who

30
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: is one of the fearless leaders UH at Action Network

31
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: UH texted me, he goes, have you ever been more

32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: clutch in your entire life? Chances are no, I don't

33
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: know that I have been this clutch. Simon, what about you?

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: Have you ever been as clutch as we were this weekend?

35
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: You had a massive weekend. You explained to people what

36
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: happened to you this weekend? Yeah? I have been this clutch.

37
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: There's this one time I think I told you I

38
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: peaked in high school. I had two girls I was

39
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: looking up with came to the same party and I

40
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: hooked up with both of them without them you either

41
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: knowing at the party. So that was a pretty clutch

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: night for your boy back in the day. But yeah, man,

43
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: this is how to break it down. UH, there might

44
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: be a hundred guys in all of America that do

45
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: what I do. So say there's a hundred groups. There's

46
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: a couple of groups in New York, a couple of Chicago,

47
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: a couple in l a couple in Vegas, couple and

48
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: four are to and they each have a guy like me.

49
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: So we all text, we all talk. The majority of us,

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: we all know each other because we're there's there's very

51
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: few of us that do what we do, like actual

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: NFL professional betters. And this one group has a dude

53
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: that's around my age and I've known him for years

54
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: and uh, basically, our our Survivor contest locks on Friday,

55
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: and um, a couple of them listen to the show

56
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: and he he texted me pretty much saying, what's the

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: deal man, why do you Why are you taking the jets?

58
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: What you're read here? Because he had Cleveland and a

59
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: couple other groups had Cleveland, and I pretty much just

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: texted him, I'm going for it and you guys are

61
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: idiots were taking Cleveland and he just played like, ha ha,

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: we shall see. And the COVID news came out Saturday

63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: and he was just like, I hate you and basically

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: the way it broke down was this one sharp group

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: are our contest is weird where basically play all the teams,

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: but if you can hold onto a team that has

67
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: the best record in football, you at an extra fift K.

68
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: So like I've been holding the Bucks really late because

69
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I was hoping to cash them in for the K.

70
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: And this other group had the Chiefs, which obviously there

71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: thirteen one. They're gonna win that prop. They they're sharp, man,

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: and they've been saving the Packers and they played the Bengals.

73
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: So that's how I end up chopping with Like it was,

74
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I texted in before the Packers game and I was like,

75
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: you want to split this no matter what? And he

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: was just like two minutes later, was like yes. He

77
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: was like even if we win like next week, we

78
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: can play for an extra like K or something for

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: like the winner. But like he was in the same

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: boat as me, like we just won. We won six

81
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: figures for a survival pool, like we don't really care

82
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: about winning the whole thing. So yeah, man, I I

83
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: went big and I went with the Jets because I

84
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: knew that was gonna be a big one that like

85
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: if I could get the Jets to win and the

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: three other three other groups took Cleveland that right there

87
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: would knock them out and put me in like the

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: leader pool to win this whole thing. So yeah, basically

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: started the weekend with like five five of us and

90
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: it ended with two of us. So that was a

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: big shop for your boy. And then like with our competition,

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: like we were talking, we like we text Sunday morning,

93
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: and you came to me with some not terrible games,

94
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: like some smart sides, and I was just like, Chad,

95
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: We're not doing anything like this is. We're already on

96
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: the smart sides. We were smart on Tuesday. If we

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: just stuck to what we've done on Tuesday, I'll break

98
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: it down later on the numbers. But we were just

99
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: sharp on Tuesdays. And I didn't want to get away

100
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: from that because I just like you said, we we

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: we stopped trusting ourselves at certain points during the season,

102
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: which is never the right move. You gotta do it well.

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: We got you here. You got to dance with the run.

104
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: You don't be up big all the pressure on us, buddy,

105
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: and we did it. Man five and oh made the money.

106
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Like we joked at sickly knowing that we're just three

107
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: back of a million dollars. But that's how it is.

108
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: It's it's really close down the stretch here, and there's

109
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: so many people bunched in here that we came to

110
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: twenty four place and we only got four k for it,

111
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: but still pretty nice little penny for a free roll man.

112
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: We had our ups, we had our downs. We got emotional,

113
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 1: we got vulnerable. We talked about fans being in our head.

114
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned it. We talked about making bad decisions on

115
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Sunday mornings. I think what we proved is that like

116
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: even a media professional who has been covering the gambling

117
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: business for twenty years, and like you mentioned, a professional better,

118
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: we are not immune to the challenges that come with

119
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: trying to make smart decisions about betting. Every single week,

120
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: one of us survived COVID, one of us fought off

121
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: being cursed, one of us survived forgetting to record an

122
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: entire podcast. This is bullsh We gave away money to

123
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: our listeners. We gave away money to their favorite causes,

124
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: which we will continue to do. By the way, we

125
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: walked into the hornet's nest. We made big balls the bets.

126
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: We grew as a podcast as the season went On,

127
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: we built a great and supportive community where we can

128
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: all be vulnerable. We can all drink green tea, we

129
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: can all drink cucumber water together. This message brought to

130
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: you by Cucumber Water, the official beverage of gambling Insiders.

131
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: More importantly, we saved our reputation and the Action Network

132
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: reputation because we finished in the money. So sorry. Simon explained,

133
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, you know, we went five to Know

134
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: this weekend and we ended up going three. You know

135
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Like Saturday morning, we loved the Niners and

136
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: we um we loved oh my god, already forgot who

137
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: was the Raiders. We loved the Raiders Las Vegas on

138
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Saturday night. You texted me Saturday morning like, we gotta

139
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: go with the Bucks. I'm like, are you freaking kidding me?

140
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with a nearly ten point road favorite, Like,

141
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: and that's how we're gonna start our day. You're like, dude,

142
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: everybody on the coaching staff for the Lions is out.

143
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen with Stafford. Sure enough,

144
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: like we decided to go to the Bucks. That game

145
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: is so out of reach that uh me and stay

146
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: seeing the boys. We left the house in the middle

147
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: of the day, went to a friend's house and like,

148
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: we're having outdoor cocktails by the firepit, socially distanced, safely,

149
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: socially distance in the middle of the day because it

150
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: was such a gimme, right. So then Sunday, like, as

151
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: you said, we had the Jets, I guess the Browns,

152
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and we had the Panthers against Washington. I like, I

153
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: also love the Jazz, I love the Steelers, I love

154
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: the Rams, I love the Cowboys, and you were like,

155
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: those are all great. Let's stick with what we got.

156
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: We finished five and oh with not really even a

157
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: sweat on Sunday, Like it was a remarkably easy Sunday um,

158
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: considering we had the Jets and the Panthers finalized. For people,

159
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: how do we do? Where did we fin what do

160
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: we win? What's the status? Yes, I think we were

161
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: like top fifty coming in And then I texted you

162
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: I might have been Saturday night after we went three,

163
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: and then I was like, boom, buddy, backing the money.

164
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: We're in the top forty at the time. And basically

165
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: you can't look at who other people picked until Sunday morning,

166
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: until all the all the picks lock in. So as

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: soon as that happened Sunday morning, I went through every

168
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: team and I was just like, all right, chump, chump, chump,

169
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: like terrible pick, terrible pick, chalk chalk, and I saw

170
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: that we had an avenue to get into the top

171
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: thirty if like these these picks worked out because for

172
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: some reason a bunch of these people played. Um. I mean,

173
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to hate on picks because that's like

174
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: I hate people that make fun of people taking back picks,

175
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: but like, people just went when we went ugly dogs

176
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: and we went for it, people just went super conservative,

177
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: like super safe, and they all a bunch of them

178
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: went one and four and they all fell out of

179
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: the money. So thank god for them because they all

180
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: fell out and that bumped us up a couple of

181
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: more spots. So I think we ended up twenty fourth place,

182
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: tied with a bunch of people. And Yeah, it's funny

183
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: where we talk all the all year about how much

184
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: the number of matters and how sometimes it doesn't, and

185
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: this was a perfect example of it didn't matter. This week.

186
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: All the dogs we picked pretty much one out right,

187
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: and what every closing number you got the dog gat

188
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: that we took. They covered that number anyway, So exactly

189
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: like you said, it was a no sweat weekend. I

190
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: I do love to fade the public, but I also

191
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: like to ride with the public uncertain picks, and that's

192
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: what that book wasn't like. I was just like, the

193
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: public is dead that on here. This is like a

194
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: great number, especially all these coaches being out, and I

195
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: think we covered that by thirty. So it was a

196
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: great week man. We did did some chalk and we

197
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: did home dogs, and that's that's what got us into

198
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: the money and it was great that it paid off

199
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: for us in the final week. Alright. So uh we

200
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: ended up four place. We won four thousand, one hundred

201
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: sixties six dollars if I'm not mistaken, is that correct?

202
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: That is correct? Right? So I called Simon this morning.

203
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, Simon, listen, you take the majority of the money,

204
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: and we should give Matt Mitchell a cut too. And

205
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: his response his response was, of course, but I was thinking,

206
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: should we roll it all over on the future's on

207
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: the bills to win the Super Bowl in honor of

208
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell. Matt Mitchell, by the way, I was listening

209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: to this right now. He has not heard any of

210
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: This is the first time he's hearing this and my response,

211
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: my response was, I don't know about that, because my

212
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: wife asked me last night if we want any money

213
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: in this contest, and I told her we did, and

214
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: I said, I want to give Simon the majority of

215
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: the money, but I think we'll still clear a decent chunk,

216
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: and so I have to think about it. And she's

217
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: out right now, so I'm not going to be able

218
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: to have a conversation with her. Um. But Matt Mitchell,

219
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: you should weigh in here. Do you want to let

220
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: your cut ride. I'm not sure we should do a

221
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: bill's futures. I think we should talk about it. I

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: am all in favor of rolling this over into the postseason. Wow, guys,

223
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: that is an incredibly generous offer. I love you both

224
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: like a couple of rich, eccentric uncle's put as uh

225
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: even as a degenerate gambler, as someone who has endured

226
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: a number of emergency home repairs and the birth of

227
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: a child this year, and more importantly as someone whose

228
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: wife listens to this show. My on the record response

229
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: is to uh, to take door number one and just

230
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: take the money and not risk it any further, or

231
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: I can cut this entire section from the show. So

232
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: I am I'm just gonna say, I don't tell you

233
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: what to do with your money, don't tell me what

234
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: to do with mine. Okay, Instantly, I regret saying that.

235
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: That was a horrible thing to say. I love you

236
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: all very much. So Simon, here's what I think we

237
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: should do. Are you ready? I think I think we

238
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: should give Matt Mitchell his cut, put that away for him.

239
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: You and I will continue to roll over, and we

240
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: will again cut Matt Mitchell in if we continue to win,

241
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: because because he's got major renovations going on in his

242
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: house and I don't want him to get in trouble

243
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: with his wife. Yeah. The good news for me is

244
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: that my wife doesn't listen to the show and she

245
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: has no idea what's happening right now. And so it's

246
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: and it's entirely possible by the time if you gets home,

247
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: show of forgotten that we even want any money. So

248
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Should we roll it over on the

249
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: futures or should we roll it over on um on A?

250
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Should we just do like put it on the Five Games?

251
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: This weekend. Yeah, like I was. I was just mainly

252
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: doing that for Matt Mitchell. That was my love for

253
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell because like we talked about this year I've had,

254
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: this has been a crazy year for your mate, Like

255
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a seven figure year and for the group I

256
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: worked for, it's an eight figure here. So it's like,

257
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't I'm with you guys, like I I'm cool

258
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: with cash now because I'm indifferent, Like I'm already peaked.

259
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do much better. But I love playoffs.

260
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: I love betting playoffs and if you guys want to

261
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: pro to try to double your money up. I mean

262
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: Week seventeen is a great week for me because there's

263
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: just so much value in these different teams are resting

264
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: players and things like that where it's like people, hey,

265
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: week seventeen, we talked about last year, our own competition.

266
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: We want five and o last year and our pickpool

267
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: than the year. So I love Week seventeen. Always think

268
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: there's crazy good value just because certain teams do just

269
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: weird things where the book can't catch up to it,

270
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Like it's Pittsburgh sitting in their whole team that's insane.

271
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: We can get crazy good value if we just take

272
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: the Browns money line. So I'm with Matt Matt Scott

273
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: bills Man. So we'll send Mattie cut and me and

274
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Chad will be a couple of non cowards and we're

275
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: just gonna let a ride. Baby. Well, if I'm such

276
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: a coward, why does this exist? Simon Simon Hunter professional coward? Oh,

277
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: don't call him the coward. Here's what I think. Here's

278
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: what I think. Here's what I think, here's what we

279
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: should do. Matt Mitchell was guaranteed his cut at the

280
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: end of the postseason. It can be even more, or

281
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: it'll be it's like guaranteed to be what it is

282
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: right now. That's fair, yeah, but it's gonna be more.

283
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean like this, like I I clearly I love playoffs,

284
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: Like yeah, like I just had back to back week

285
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: of betting the Jets and I should just fade off

286
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: into the sunset and be like I won money on

287
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: the Jets money line this year and the Jags money line.

288
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Who else can really say that this year? But this

289
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: is where I ramped things up. I just love playoff football.

290
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: It's just great games, great matchups, and there's just always

291
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: tons of value. On certain teams. So Matt Mitchell, I

292
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: like that we're giving him this cut, but I hope

293
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: we can double up the whatever we leave in because

294
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: I'd be cool if I can give them more and

295
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: give you more. It's like we talked about, it's sick

296
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: you knowing that we're one game away. If we had

297
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: just won one more game, it had been fifteen thousand dollars.

298
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: It's just like, God, these competitions are just sickening like that,

299
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: and think about all the games that like we're so

300
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: so close. It actually is sickly. But now I'm excited.

301
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Now we got like a real sweat for Week seventeen,

302
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and then we'll have to figure out what we're doing

303
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: through the playoffs. We're just gonna keep rolling this over

304
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: week to week. I don't think we should do a

305
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: future thing. I think we should keep rolling it over

306
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: a week to week to the playoffs. I'm gonna do

307
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: a baby future, but I'll do with my own money

308
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: that I'll split with you guys on because I already did. Ah.

309
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: We talked like three or four weeks ago about the

310
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Bills win the a f C. So I did a

311
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: couple of those bets and like I'll put one of

312
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: those tickets to our show. The bills come through in

313
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: the f C. Of course, I'm gonna give Matt Mitchell

314
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: a piece of that because the reason I bet that

315
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: was because of his fandom. I was just like, how

316
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: hilarious would it be if the bills actually come through?

317
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: Because man, are they humming that. It's it's scary how

318
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: good they're playing right now? Yea of those happening now,

319
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: happen now, I'm making it happy now a lot of

320
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: screwing up now, Oh my god, are the bills good

321
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: right now? And by the way, by luck and love,

322
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: we cash our our Steelers to win the af C

323
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: North ticket that paid out big, and we had the

324
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills when the a f C East that paid

325
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: out big. So my last real sweat years is going

326
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: to be this NFC East. I have tons of different

327
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: features and all these teams on different value. It's looking

328
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: like it's going to be the Cowboys that win it.

329
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: And if they do, I'm gonna take a little loss

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. But if Washington can pull it out,

331
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: that it's like another like ten dollar winner. So hopefully

332
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: Washington can beat my egos. This we can pay me out,

333
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: all right. One more thing. One more thing. We are

334
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: of course bringing back the cash fueled phrase that pays contest.

335
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: We're going to run it through the end of the

336
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: football season. We are giving a lucky listener one dollars

337
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: for every game we win each week, which means this

338
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: week's listener gets a hundred dollars and it gets five dollars,

339
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: and we are giving an equal amount to the charity

340
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: of the winner's choice to be eligible. Go refew, go

341
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: review the podcast using the phrase Simon says winning and

342
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: if we like it and Matt Mitchell randomly chooses it,

343
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: you will win the money. One more reminder, everything we discuss,

344
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: every pick we make, it's all available in the Action

345
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Network cap It's free, It's award winning, go downloaded. If

346
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: you had followed me and Simon Hunter uh this year

347
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: in the Action Network app, I who had followed Simon

348
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Hunter in the Action Network app at Simon Hunter in

349
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: the Action Network ap you would have won a significant

350
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: amount of money because we were picking at a six clip,

351
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: which is just ridiculous. This week we will still have

352
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: the big balls better the week the hornets Nest, which

353
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: we've defined as being just an unattractive bet and the

354
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: foxhold bet it's new because Simon is great in a

355
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: foxhole and we're defining that as an unpopular bet. Here

356
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: we go, brother, are you ready? Sunday Slate, Huge Sunday Slate.

357
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Not bad for a couple of frauds, lunch at not

358
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: bad at all, a couple of know nothing has our

359
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: poor haters, Man, what a sad day for them. So sad.

360
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: It's about fair. It's not fair. And the best part

361
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: is it's like I had people on that, like I

362
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: went through all my d m s and like people

363
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: are like, you guys are such frauds for saying like

364
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: the fade the public, like as if tickets and money

365
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: percentage matter for these different games and things like that.

366
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god, people are so dumb on Twitter.

367
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: It's like, okay that with the public every week and

368
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: then message being chatlia let's know how you do season long.

369
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It was just great all right early games,

370
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: first game vikings on the road at the Lions. It

371
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: opened it three and a half, it's now up to

372
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: five and a half. Speaking of bets, all of the

373
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: bets coming in on the vikings, I don't know, man,

374
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: Like this still feels way up in the air to me,

375
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Like if we if we do normally talk about like

376
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: fading the public and all that kind of stuff and

377
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: going with road, going against road favorites, this one two

378
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: bad teams facing off and a lot of questions Brooks

379
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: for the lines. Yeah, week seventh seen throw all that out,

380
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Like who cares for the Public's on? Like it's just

381
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: all madness, Like there's certain teams who are just gonna

382
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: be resting guys, and there's gonna be a certain teams

383
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: who have already punched their vacation tickets, like this is

384
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: literally a paycheck game. They do not care. So I'm

385
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: right there with you. In normal week, I would not

386
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: take Vikings. I would happily take the line, especially in

387
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: a divisional game. But Matthew Stafford's not right. Vikings offense

388
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: is fully healthy, Like they've been beat by good teams

389
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: of Vikings and they played tough but awful defense. It's

390
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: terrifying that they could be backdoor at any time. But

391
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: if this is the backup quarterback for the Lions, we're

392
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: take We take the Vikings in our pickful because it's

393
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: like that that guy is just collecting the paycheck. He's

394
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: not a starting quarterback. He was horrible when he came

395
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: in for Stafford. He was not existent against a buck

396
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: defense that they're not that great. So for me, I

397
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: would take the Vikings here. But if people have hesitation

398
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: about putting the competition, I completely understand. Uh it's Vikings

399
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: minus six and a half, not five and a half.

400
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: I've read that wrong. Um, all right, I don't know

401
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be like for me, a top five pick,

402
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: but it on the list I wrote on the list,

403
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: it could be one of our five. Again, we're gonna

404
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: make five picks. Contest is over, We're still gonna make

405
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: five picks. Um, Steelers, this is a tricky one, right, Steelers.

406
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: It opened it four, Uh, Steelers plus four, it's now

407
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: plus seven on the road at the Browns. What's interesting

408
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: is still early not a ton of volumes the bets

409
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: coming in on the Steelers, but seventy two of the

410
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: money coming in on the Browns. You said Brown's money

411
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: line before, but there's not gonna be a ton amount

412
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: value in the Browns money line here. Then again, like

413
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: you make money, you make money, right, and so what

414
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking here you mentioned this game specifically before. Yeah,

415
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: like the Browns money lines, a parlay money line, like

416
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: you throw that in with another one of these favorites

417
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: that are just like playing against a team of all backups.

418
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: But seven points is a lot of points. And we'll

419
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: have to wait and see who's who's gonna play for

420
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers because if they're playing all their starters on defense,

421
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: I actually don't hate that number because this is a

422
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: divisional game. I think the Steelers love to spoil the

423
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: Browns chances of getting the playoffs. But there rest in

424
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, the rest in Big Ben and all these

425
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: other players in the Steelers, and the Browns get all

426
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: their wide receivers back. Of course I would take the

427
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: Browns here. They're they're gonna be playing for way more

428
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: than the Steelers. So this is one of those you

429
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: have to wait to them the week and watch and

430
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: see what players are playing for the Steelers before you

431
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: bet this game. And I'm just making a note, wait

432
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: until end of week. I'm putting it in my my

433
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: special red book, and then when we text on Sunday morning,

434
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I have it in front of me. That was also

435
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: part of the problem, as we discussed, like Sunday mornings,

436
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: you would you would text me, and it's like the

437
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: middle of a crazy, hectic morning where I'm trying to

438
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: keep track of what our traffic is, Like I'm trading

439
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: notes with other folks on the edit team. I'm prepping

440
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: for our Sunday show. Convinced me eleven am at Action

441
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: Network HQ, we will have another one this weekend, and

442
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: like then you'll text me with our picks. And sometimes

443
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: I didn't have my new book, I wouldn't be able

444
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: to see what we liked on Tuesdays and I would

445
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: get flustered. So I carry the notebook with me at

446
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: all times. Now what a nerd? What a nerd comment?

447
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: That was? I need my notebook? Where's my notebook? Yeah,

448
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: by the way, we don't have the notebook and we're

449
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: not going to five And oh, motherfucker, that's true. Hi Cowboys,

450
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys at Giants. This is your game, buddy, this is

451
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: your game. It's it's the Giants plus two and a half,

452
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: maybe maybe plus three depending on the book. Uh, this

453
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: is an NFC East title game. The Cowboys need this game,

454
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: and this is the time they'll let you down. I've

455
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: been waiting for this moment to fade the Cowboys. This

456
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: is so Cowboys. They get their fans back, everyone's back on.

457
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna be bet in the Cowboys. The Giants are awful,

458
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: they played awful. Giants are gonna win this game. This

459
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: This is definitely our big balls better the week, because

460
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: no one wants to bet big ball better the week.

461
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: You want to bet the Giants, you want to bet

462
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: him on the money line, or do you want to

463
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: bet in the plus three. I'm gonna wait for the

464
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: plus three plus three and a half because the public

465
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: is gonna come in so heavy on the Cowboys. They're in.

466
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: They're they're so in. And we talked last week, that's

467
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: why I love the Cowboys. No one was betting them.

468
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: They were a home team that everyone hated, and people

469
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: were betting big money on a rookie quarterback making his

470
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: second road start. So this is just the same exact thing,

471
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: but you flip it where the Giants have just been terrible.

472
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: Dannie Daniel Jones is bad. He is not played well

473
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: since coming back from this injury. But this is just

474
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: a great matchup. For all the pressure in the world's

475
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys and Andy Dalton the red rifle on

476
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: the road. I feel like he's just gonna You're just

477
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: gonna blow this game. So I like the Giants. I

478
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: like their defense, and I like that plus three, well,

479
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Like the bets and the money, it's

480
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: all coming in on the Cowboys right now. This is

481
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: and it's a similar situation to the Steelers and the Browns,

482
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: like this has like divisional rival screw up your season

483
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: written all over. And to be honest, the Cowboys don't

484
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: deserve to be in the playoffs. They have made horrible

485
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: decisions coaching decisions all season long. I don't know how

486
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,239
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy like ends up with that job and then

487
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: ends up keeping that job. There are so many good candidates,

488
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: like over the years, the Cowboys are gonna see some

489
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: of these Canada get job and be like, really, we

490
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: could have had that guy instead. So I'm with you,

491
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: and I think Joe Judge is a really good coach,

492
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: like I just I think he's had this team sort

493
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: of playing better in certain spots. Um, I agree with

494
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: you about Daniel Jones not that great, But I'm willing

495
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: to do it even though it goes against all of

496
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: our principles. Of betting on the Giants and Daniel Jones,

497
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take a flyer there, all right, it's in.

498
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: I wrote it down. Dolphins. They're getting weird lines on

499
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Like some some places the Dolphins visit eating

500
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: the Bills, it's generally plus four and a half Dolphins

501
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: four and a half point dogs. Uh, interesting one. What

502
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: are the Bills playing for and the Dolphins have a

503
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: lot to play for. I think the builds are still

504
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: fighting for this top seed. I'm pretty sure I have

505
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: to look for the two seeds, right, so I think

506
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: they are going to play their players. And what we've

507
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: seen from the Dolphins is why we've been trying to

508
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: bet against him a lot lately, is that we just

509
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: don't trust to U. We don't believe in too. I

510
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: think he's a good kid. I think he maybe I'll

511
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: have a great future, But just this season they rushed

512
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: him a little bit coming back from the hip surgery,

513
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: and he's scary to take hits. He doesn't doesn't make

514
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: smart reads, he doesn't run out of the pocket when

515
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: he should. And if this was Fits, I'd love the

516
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins here like Fits playing against the Bills Like that's

517
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: He's always played well against the Bills. On any team

518
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: he's left and he plays against, he usually plays well

519
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: against him. But I can't back. I can't do it.

520
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm like looking at the number right now. I cannot.

521
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: I just can't back to him. I I really don't

522
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: trust the kids. So the rare, rare time, I'm gonna

523
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: ride a team that's crazy over value done on a

524
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: crazy winning streak. But I'll take the Bills here. So

525
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: right now, the money is coming in. It's interesting. The

526
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: bets are coming in on the Dolphins, and the money

527
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: is coming in on the bills. So what we're seeing

528
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: is a Joe's pros split. So your instinct is right here.

529
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: As a professional, the money, which is where we usually

530
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: see sort of professional tendencies, is coming in on the bill.

531
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: So you and your brethren are all coming in on

532
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: the bills, all right. So I'm putting the bills into

533
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: four and a half. We'll see how it goes. We'll

534
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: see what happens on Sunday morning. This this here's something

535
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: else that's interesting. We've got to think about. Normally for

536
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: the contest, those lines are locking on Thursdays. Now, we've

537
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: gotta we're gonna be able to play any line we

538
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: want whenever we think it's sort of the best of

539
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: the number. So we might lock in something today on

540
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: the feeling that it might sort of get worse over

541
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: the course of the weekend, or like you mentioned for

542
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: the Giants, we're gonna hold off because we think it

543
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: might get better. Yeah. Honestly, though, because it's last week,

544
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: I'll just post the worst whatever the number is on

545
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: Sunday and we play. I'll just post the worst of

546
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: the number. Just get back to the people. But I

547
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: talked all year about how when we post these lines,

548
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: like you said, they lock in early. If you're that scared,

549
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: just tease the game as we play, because usually we

550
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: when we do get games wrong, it's probably a half

551
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: point or a point. It's rare that we're off by

552
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: a ton of points. So just the same this week,

553
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: I'll post the worst of the lines, whatever the lines are.

554
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: On Sunday, we'll just play that. But if you're unsure

555
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: about whatever games were picking, just put them in teasers. Man,

556
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: if you're scared of these numbers and you want the comfort,

557
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: play the teaser. But I just don't because I love

558
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: the value of playing our numbers straight. That's why I

559
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: usually when I post these numbers, I just say, listen,

560
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: I know we don't have great numbers here, but I

561
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: still like the numbers they're at. So hopefully this week

562
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: that holds true, we post the worst of the number

563
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: and it won't matter like it has in most weeks.

564
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: All right, Jets plus four and a half on the

565
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: road at the Patriots. Boy, this is a headful Patriots team.

566
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah that. I was honestly shocked last night how bad

567
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: they were with I know Gilmore is out and that

568
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: literally should have to feel for them, and that really

569
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: showed last night where Diggs did whatever he wanted against

570
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: that Newland secondary. Scary to back the Jets to win

571
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: three in a row here, But I am the biggest

572
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: Jets fan man. They've They've won me so much money

573
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks here, and I still

574
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: think they're being undervalued, even though I know the public's

575
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna finally come in on them because they've been playing

576
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: better than the Patriots. But this number should be three.

577
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: I think we're getting good value of the Jets, and

578
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: I know that the Patriots are going through right now,

579
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: and none of us feel bad for you Patriots fans

580
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: like you literally just had the greatest twenty year run

581
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: in NFL history. But it is heartbreaking just seeing how

582
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: horrible they are. Oh wow, you gotta be shipping me

583
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: like Stenham He's terrible and Camps terrible. So I don't

584
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: care which one of them starting. I like number you

585
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: are the Jets. Are you freaking kidding me that we

586
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: would ride the Jets for the third week in a row?

587
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: You love the Jets? Jet they got you four thousand dollars, well,

588
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: in theory, that got me a lot less than that,

589
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: and and they can and now the guy who actually

590
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: helped me win that is convincing me that we should

591
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: just keep rolling it over. So I don't know that

592
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: the Jets have gotten me anything other than false hope

593
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: and maybe losing out on a fourth figure page. Come on, buddy,

594
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: I got faith. I'm with you, though. It is scary

595
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: because it would be three straight weeks of taking the Jets,

596
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: but I just think they're still undervalued in the market.

597
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: I like the number, as Billy Joel says, I'm keeping

598
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: the faith, keeping the Alkins. Gotta hit this team Falcons

599
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: plus what is that six and a half on the

600
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: road at the Bucks. What do we think here? Like

601
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: that number moved a little bit and opened its seven

602
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: and a half, it's come down. I don't have I

603
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: have no opinion on this game. I have no theory

604
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: on this game. And I know that it's a team

605
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: in the Falcons that has let me down every single

606
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: week except for last week where they were one of

607
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: the teams that we thought we should have been on

608
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter. But uh, I don't like them,

609
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: don't like this game, don't like anything about it. Yeah,

610
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: it's a true coin flip game. I don't know how

611
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Atlantic players keep showing up after these brutal losses, like

612
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: just back to back weeks of just disgusting losses of

613
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: games they should have won. But the Buccaneers coming out

614
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: of coming off a huge road win, coming home, getting

615
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs, I'm thinking maybe they're gonna overlook

616
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta here, and I don't think Matt Ryan's gonna take

617
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: a game off. So as long as this number stays

618
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: above five five and a half, I'd be cool with

619
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: taking Atlanta. But I'm with you, I wouldn't put in

620
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: the competition. We're not we're not we're not why do

621
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: you keep saying put it in the competition. There is

622
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: no competition now, we're just choosing the five best bets. Well,

623
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm actually in a couple other one. I don't want

624
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: to break your heart and tell you I'm cheating on you.

625
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: But um, I still have a chance to play top

626
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: five in Circle, which is a competition now in Vegas,

627
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: and in the Gold in the super Contest, my group

628
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: has a chance to finish first. But we need like

629
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: the luck of all luck, we need to pretty much

630
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: go five and now on the top guy to go

631
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: one and four. Um, but so pretty much I'm talking

632
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: for myself and what I'll be playing in these different

633
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: pick pools. But yeah, this is I gotta tell you, like,

634
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: this is the first I've heard of this, and I

635
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: kind of can't believe you're another competition without me, without you.

636
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I work for a group, of course, and

637
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: another competition is like we're we're nut jobs, man, Like

638
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 1: these guys they want to have action on everything they

639
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: want to be and everything. That's why like we do

640
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: all these different Survivor contests and pickpools. But with you,

641
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: I have a little bit more control of surprisingly like

642
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: you for the most part, even though I know you

643
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: took over the reins of Survivor Contest and we saw

644
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: how that worked out for us. But for the most part,

645
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: you've let me pretty much run the show. Where these

646
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: other guys there their pros like me, so they're a

647
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: little more like, oh, I gotta read on this one,

648
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: like you're you're overthinking blah blah blah. So it's worked

649
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: and it hasn't worked, but the one the circuit has worked,

650
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: like where we did really well on that one. But yeah,

651
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: I just didn't bring it up because it's like, who cares,

652
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: Like we're we had our own competition. That's all I

653
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: was focused on when I was with you. So I'm

654
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: one of those people. Here's everything I just heard, and

655
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: whatever you just said, all I heard was, hey, you're

656
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: cheating on me. B You just completely diminished everything I

657
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: brought to the table for the entire season. Chad Milman

658
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: wrote a book, not at all you're the you wear

659
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: my anchor. You held me down, now I'm kidding. Uh no, man,

660
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: you were good, Like your bye weeks were the clutchest

661
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: thing of the season. You had as skip, like two

662
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: bye weeks come by, and we were three and seven.

663
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's where you you saved us. Chat it.

664
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: I thought I had some really good picks over the

665
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: course of the year, really good picks. Many times on

666
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: Sunday mornings. I walked us away from making bad picks

667
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: and provided ballast. I put us back on the path

668
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: to winning. I reminded us, reminded us that we could

669
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: not get emotional, that we could not be cowards on

670
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, because otherwise you're out there like being you know,

671
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: crazy bearded, you know, simon and thinking all these crazy thoughts.

672
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: I'm the one who's saying, dude, get back to the

673
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: fucking basics. Yeah, it's true, it's true. But at the

674
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: same time, I don't know, we don't have to get it.

675
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like it is. It is a given take.

676
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: So it was one of those most Sunday mornings if

677
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: you were super passionate, I would just give it to you.

678
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: I'd be like, all right, Chad's Chad thinks he's gotta read.

679
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let it ride here. So it's definitely it

680
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: was definitely fun Sunday mornings arguing with you about the

681
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: picks and then but but the the intimation here is

682
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: that I give it to you and then we lose, right,

683
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: but not all the time, not all the time, all right.

684
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Ravens at Bengals. Ravens eleven and a half Bengals. I mean,

685
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: that's a big number on the road, but obviously they

686
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: need to win an in situation here. Yeah, this is

687
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: one of those I'll be throwing the Ravens money line

688
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: in some place, but it's terrifying. I just can keep

689
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: getting this memory years ago of the Ravens needed to

690
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: win a game against the terribles Bengals team and Andy

691
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: Dalton on like fourth and twenty put the ball in

692
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: the end zone. The Bengals beat the Ravens out right,

693
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: and it was like one of the most shocking upsets

694
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: I can remember. But that was the only Dalan versus

695
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Ain't no Joe Flacco on the field today.

696
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: So I'll take the Ravens big number. I played him

697
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: last week against the Giants, even though I felt gross,

698
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: and it worked out and we talked about the time.

699
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens just beat up these bad teams. So I

700
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: don't hate taking the Ravens here, but it's such a

701
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: big number. I'm with you. I probably wouldn't put this

702
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: in my competition. All Right, we gotta go to the

703
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: Lake games. Let's get into the late games. And the

704
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: first late game we're talking about is so freaking Marquis.

705
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: You may notice you may see this on the zoom

706
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: We video together. I'm wearing my Bears had because I

707
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: am all in. Like there's already reports out there that

708
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna are thinking about bringing back Mitch

709
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: True Whisky. I hate the idea, you know. I have

710
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: felt like the Bears just should have gone in the tank,

711
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: started over, fired, everybody rebuilt, get like foundationally strong, and like,

712
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: let's start over. But they got a chance to go

713
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. The other day, my my kids said

714
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: to me, my fourteen year old, He's like, you can

715
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: have a super Bowl this year, but you gotta keep

716
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: Mitch True Whisky for the next five years. My answer was,

717
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: I take the super Bowl because nothing replaces winning a

718
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl, and you can like live with pain and

719
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: agony after that. So I'm gonna go all in on

720
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: the Bears plus five and a half. It's a pros

721
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: Joe's game, Rock Roll, all the bets coming in and

722
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: the Packers, all the money coming in on the Bears.

723
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: Talk to the office, tell me I'm wrong. That's like

724
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: the perfect mentality about the Super Bowl. Like, as an

725
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, if that Dallas loss would have happened to

726
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: just say four years ago, I'd still be in my

727
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: bed like crying, just being like, we're we're the worst.

728
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: We always do this, we're just failures. But having a

729
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring it just makes you breathe. These easy

730
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: where you're just like, yeah, that wasn't our year. We

731
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: already it was our it was our year three years ago.

732
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: Now this year is that a year? But with the Bears,

733
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you if if they can just get in.

734
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: I love this team, I love this defense so much.

735
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that green Bay could be the one seed.

736
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I know this game decides if they'll be the one seed.

737
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: But back to the Bears, this will if they can

738
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and then they have to play the

739
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Packers for a third time. That's such a huge advantage

740
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: with these different teams. But like you just said, the

741
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: Bears are a home dog. All the money's coming in

742
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: on the Packers. This is just an easy play. Where

743
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: as long as it stays above three and a half

744
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: we take the Bears, I know, to Risky. This is

745
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: where he lets us down. But it's it's one of

746
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: these things where the Bears that are running the ball great,

747
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: they're not asking him to do too much for Risky,

748
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: Like literally, all he's doing is one or two reads

749
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: and he'll just get it to Alan or he'll just

750
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: dump it off like short. So the way the Bears

751
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: are playing right now, I love this number. I think

752
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: we're getting great value. Five and a half. We haven't

753
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: chosen a hornets Nest game or a Foxhole game. You

754
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: want this to be Foxhole. This feels like a Foxhole

755
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: game to me, You and I. It's an unattractive pick.

756
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: Everybody is coming in on the Packers. You and I

757
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: are aligned, we are together. We are campadres. We're not

758
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: companions on this that's the hornlessness. We are campadres. We

759
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: are Foxhole in this ship. Oh yeah, this is this

760
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: is d Day. We're storming in the beaches. Here. We're

761
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: running up the hill to take down the Germans that

762
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: we call Aaron Rodgers. Let's clide down to the Foxhole.

763
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: We are saving Private Ryan this game. We are Tom

764
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: Hanks and Edward Burns and we are in the fox

765
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: hole and we are firing our guns, going on the Bears.

766
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: Let's do it all right. Titans visiting the Texans. Titans

767
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: minus seven and a half. Mm hmmmm. Another money line

768
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: spot where I hate this number because Houston they're bad.

769
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: I get it, their defense is terrible, but they still

770
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: have the Shaun Watson who he won't care if they're

771
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: down thirty seven to seven in the first half. The

772
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson is gonna keep fighting, keep trying to score.

773
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: So for me, I hate this number. Seven a half

774
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: is terrifying to me. Where Houston they're playing for nothing.

775
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: They only have their own first round draft, like they

776
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: don't care about losing. And after J. J. Watt's speech

777
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: last week, he got me so fired up about just

778
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: the whole mindset of a football player and like what

779
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: gets him going, um, oh god, I want to take

780
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: the Texans. But like I had this, I had this

781
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: number at seven and a half. And this is one

782
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: of a few games where both teams are playing all

783
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: their players, but with all the injuries to the Texas defense,

784
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: I can't put this in the competition. So for the

785
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: people listen out there, this is one of those where

786
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: if you're doing these mooney line parlays. I put the

787
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: Titans in one of them. I like the Titans of

788
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: money a line here. The better bet is whatever the

789
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: total rushing yards prop is for Derrick Henry. Bet the

790
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: over because he's like two hundred yards away from two

791
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: thousand yards and they're gonna fucking pound the ball against

792
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: a shitty Texans defense and watch him get to that

793
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: two thousand yard mark. I love that, but it's smart. Well,

794
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: every once in a while, I might have been your anchor.

795
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: I might have been dragging you down all season long

796
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: in the contest. But every once in a while, a

797
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: blind squirrel finds in that Seahawks minus five on the

798
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: road at the Niners, I've already got the end of west.

799
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: Niners are a good team. They're they're the ugly, ugly

800
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: girlfriend no one. No one wants to show that they

801
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: bet the Niners. Are talking about how they bet the Niners.

802
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: But we love the Niners, we love their dogs, we

803
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: love the big value here. I wish it was still

804
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: plus six, but the sharps already came in and hit

805
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: this down. Um, I still take this number. It's like

806
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: you just said, the Seahawks have already wrapped everything up.

807
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: This is like, I know they're playing for the top seed,

808
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: but I just see, like this guy, I feel like

809
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: this game is gonna mean more for the forty Niners.

810
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: And I just like this number a lot. I think

811
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: as long as it stays above three and a half,

812
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: four just stays a four and a half. This is

813
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: a good value here. So I'd be cool with putting

814
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: the four Niners. And I like the forty Niners a lot. Here,

815
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't like, uh, the Chargers Chiefs game. Chargers are

816
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, Chargers right now are three and a half

817
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: point favorites because obviously the Chiefs have everything wrapped up.

818
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah. I'm not a fan

819
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: of team sitting all the players at the end of

820
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: the year. I think it's bad for rhythm. I think

821
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: you need to get these guys in there. It's just

822
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: not a it's not a theory. I subscribe to UM,

823
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: but I'm still not getting better the Chargers. Really, I

824
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: actually like them here. It's you've seen the Chiefs. The

825
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs are just incredible on all offense, and they have

826
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: some good players on defense for sure, But the reason

827
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: they win, and they have been covering, which has been

828
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: pretty pretty fun betting against them because they just have

829
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: not been covering the Chiefs. But this is one of

830
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: those where if it's all the backups on the Chiefs

831
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: playing against the Chargers team that's playing all their starters,

832
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: I like the Chargers here, but I'm with you. I

833
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put this in the competition simply because that's

834
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: a weird number three and a half, so we can

835
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: stay away. But I do like the Chargers at the spot.

836
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: I already forgot what our big balls better the week was,

837
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: was it Giants? Yeah? All right, Uh, Raiders two point

838
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: favorites on the road at the Broncos. Look, the Drew

839
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: Locks have let us down all year and and we've

840
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: chosen him in a couple of spots that we thought

841
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: were smashed spots for the Broncos and it hasn't worked out.

842
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: I just don't think like he's a kind of guy

843
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: who when they're down by a lot, he can put

844
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: them in a spot to back door. He is not

845
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to keep them in any games

846
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: that are close. Uh, it's two and a half or

847
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: two and a half point dogs at home It's kind

848
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: of a meaningless game all the way around, all the money,

849
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: all the bets, both sides of it coming in on

850
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: the Raiders. What say you love Denver? This is like

851
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: the I know, such a great time to take them,

852
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: gross bets, gross profits. The Raiders defense is trash. The

853
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: city of Las Vegas doesn't even care about the Raiders anymore.

854
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: They they're that bad after that loss against the Dolphins,

855
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: that was just there. That was embarrassing. So Gruden he's reeling.

856
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: He's the worst winning percentage of any Raiders coach. I

857
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: think they posted that in like the history of the Raiders.

858
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: So for me, this seems like a team that's given up.

859
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: Where the Broncos they played tough last week. I think

860
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: they lost by a field goal. I'll keep taking the Broncos.

861
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: It's it's a hard life. It's not a fun life.

862
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: But they've been covering most of these weeks for me

863
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch here, So I'll take the Broncos here

864
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully this gets the plus three. This is going

865
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: to be awful, are you are? The Broncos? Like a

866
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: hornets nest game? It's an ugly, unattractive bet. The Broncos

867
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: could be the perpetual Hornets nest. They could. I was

868
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: saving it for the last game, all right, all right,

869
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Let's save it. Let's save it.

870
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: I'll put the Broncos on our list, but let's save it.

871
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to make the people bet on the Broncos. Yeah, seriously,

872
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are. It's a weird number, like some places

873
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: showing big numbers some places, some places showing the Cardinals

874
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: is four point dogs. Other places like DraftKings says the

875
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: Rams is one and a half point favorites. I don't

876
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: know what to do here because like Jared Goff isn't playing.

877
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: He's broken his thump. Jerk Goff broke his thumb. They

878
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: say that he might be able to return for the

879
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: playoffs if they make it. For the record, I broke

880
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: my thumb in August, had surgery two weeks later. I

881
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: still can't bend it all the way. So I don't

882
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: know how a guy is going to come back from

883
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: a broken tomb and like be able to grip a

884
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: football in two weeks. Well, hopefully a guy that's twenty

885
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: four heels quicker than a guy in his late seventies,

886
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: So right, I did say that. I didn't say that

887
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: to my orthopedes, Like, how the funk are these guys

888
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: getting on the field and playing football seven days after

889
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: breaking their fingers? And he's like they're years old? Yeah right,

890
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: uh yeah. This is like one of these sick games

891
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: where I would love to take the Rams here because,

892
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: like we said, we love fading Cliff Cliffs the worst coach,

893
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. McVeigh is going to coach circles around him.

894
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: But I'm scared to tell people to do it because

895
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: it's like it's one of those where I personally will

896
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: be betting heavy on the Rams just because all the

897
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: money has been coming on the Cardinals and I don't

898
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,479
Speaker 1: think they're I don't think Golf is worth that much

899
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: to the Rams team. Like, tell me how many points

900
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: Jared Golf is worth and I'll tell you how much

901
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: you're wrong, because I just don't think he's this great quarterback.

902
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: He's a below average quarterback. It's in a great system.

903
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 1: So everything I read about this backup is this kid quick,

904
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: he's he's a really good athlete that he's been a

905
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: mcveig's system for a couple of years now, So I

906
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: don't hate the Rams play. I I really don't. I

907
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: think that as long as this number keeps getting beat

908
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: up because people are gonna come and so heavy the Cardinals.

909
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: If this ever gets the plus seven or seven and

910
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: a half, I'm I'm definitely gonna put the Rams in

911
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: my competition. But for all the people out there, I

912
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: completely understand you don't like putting a ton of money

913
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: on a backup quarterback. But Fading Cliff, it's fun, it's easy.

932
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't care what your numbers say about the Saints.

933
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,319

Speaker 1: we not We have to honor him, if for no

936
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: other reason we have to choose the Panthers to honor

937
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 1: Teddy Covers. Yeah, I love it. Also, like at this point,

938
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: still very low volume, but like the bets coming in

939
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: on the Saints. Of course we're going to take the

940
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: Panthers and this number is gonna go up and we're

941
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: gonna love it all right. Washington football team, playing for

942
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: its lungs, dropped Dwayne Haskins this week. Uh as soon

943
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: as he was dropped, my kid, Uh, he was like, man,

944
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a great career in the xfl UM,

945
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: the Washington football team one on a half point favorites

946
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles. Professional football quarterback Alex Smith will

947
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: be playing. I would take Washington here. Yeah, I don't

948
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: hate the number. UM. It's scary because we're seeing ourselves.

949
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is coming off a pretty serious injury, if

950
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 1: it's telled him out the last couple of weeks, and

951
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: everything we've seen from Washington is their defense is still

952
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: playing at the highest levels. Like Chase Young is playing

953
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: out of his mind. He had two strip sack fumbles

954
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: last week for Washington. So, like you just said, this,

955
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: this Washington team, they're really playing for something. Here. We're

956
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: the only guy in the Eagles who's gonna playing or something.

957
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: His hurts and I don't really like that situation where

958
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the team is already thinking about their

959
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 1: vacation and you got a rookie QB who he played

960
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: terrible last week. He really did. He just made really

961
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: bad mistakes. And like we talked all years, this Washington

962
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: front four has been very profitable for us. As long

963
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: as Alex Smith is the quarterback, Washington has been really

964
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: good to us. So we'll keep playing with guys here, buddy,

965
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 1: I'll take Washington with you. We will honor Alex Smith.

966
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, professional quarterback, professional football quarterback. I feel like

967
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: we should get him a badge and like, instead of

968
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: of having the little Walter Payton patch on his jersey,

969
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: he should get like a professional football quarterback patch that

970
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: we sent him from the Favorites. I wonderful. You just

971
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: gotta you got a d M mom and say, Hi,

972
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: this is Chad Nolman, New York Times bestseller and I

973
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: run a company called the Action Network. I'd love to

974
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: have you on because I've been championing you all year

975
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: unlike most people. So I think he'll get back to

976
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: because you're the only person who's spent in his corner

977
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: in the betting world all year. It's true, It's totally true.

978
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: I will say you, don't you know why I love him?

979
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: And I think I mentioned this when I was hetter

980
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: in chief of the magazine of ESPN. The magazine Seth Wickersham,

981
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: who you know, was one of the best NFL writers

982
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 1: in the country. Uh, did a phenomenal story about Alex

983
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: Smith after he had broken his collar bone with the Niners,

984
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: and like just the agony of having to come back

985
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: from that, and like Alex Smith's dedication to coming back

986
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: from it, Like I remember this scene about Smith sleeping

987
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: upright in a chair because it was so painful to

988
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: do anything else, and just the rigor and effort and

989
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: depression that comes on from having to come back from

990
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: an injury. You know, if a guy like that comes

991
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: back from what he came back from with the leg like,

992
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: he's a fucking pro, And you know, I like nothing more.

993
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: I value nothing more than professionals in any level. Pros Bros.

00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: a kid in the nineteen fifties and sixties, we uhould

1015
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: do a thing called war. So you get a beer bottle,

1016
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: you fill full of gasoline, you put a T shirt

1017
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: in the top, you let it on fire and make

1018
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: a mouth off cocktail and you let your kids just

1019
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: have a war in the backyard. It's fun, it's safe.

1020

Speaker 1: It kills a debt. Well listen, I did uh Listen,

Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of them playing with fire. Hey, b uh.

1022
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, we used to do bottle

1023
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: rocket wars and we take out the ski poles and

1024
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: we'd get the bottle rockets and like we shoot at

1025
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: each other at night, we'd go to the playground of

1026
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: like the grammar school, and one year the cops came

1027
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: and a buddy of mine dropped his ski pole and

1028
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: it had a lip bottle rocket in it and it

1029
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: hit the cop in the chest, and the cop like

1030
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: was so fucking piste. He motored tackled this guy. He

1031
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: got hauled in the rest of us like scattered, and

1032
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: we were all like at that guy's house with his dad,

1033
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: and his dad had to go get him at the

1034
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: police station, and we didn't know, like, is he gonna

1035
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: is he gonna flip? What's gonna happen, And like, of course,

1036
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: nothing happened. They let him go, Like that was that,

1037

00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: personally with our picks is like I'll just do round

1051
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: robins with them because it's just quick, easy and lazy,

1052
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: just getting all our picks in. And I'll do that

1053

1054
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: up bets for us. But um, I'm still I'm still

1055
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 1: so tempted to put a little bit our cut on

1056
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: the Bills to win the Super Bowl. But well, that

1057
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: man Mitchell take his time think things over his two

1058
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: weeks until the playoffs, so there's no rush. But I

1059
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: do I do with love and fault. We just as

1060
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: a podcast put the features on the a f C

1061
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: with the Bills that we did with the Bears to

1062
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and NFC. It would just be

1063
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: fun as a show. I think we have to. You're in,
