1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy. I want to recap what 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: we've done and then get to demand's picks and my 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: final picks. So we did six official If you want 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: to hear all thirty two overs and unders again, like rate, subscribe, review, 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: It's on YouTube, it's on iTunes', on Spotify, everywhere you 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: can get your podcasts, and you can hear my picks 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: for all thirty two teams. But there are six bets 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: that we are making. Okay, we are betting the overs 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: for the following teams with the following Juice Jags over 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: seven and a half minus one twenty five. I think 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: the Jags are going to make the playoffs. I think 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: Trevor is going to have a bounce back year. I 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: also think he knows this is kind of a make 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: or break year for him. He luckily already got paid, 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: but as far as him being concerned, are like a 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: no doubt franchise quarterback. They've got to be good. I 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: think they will be, and they only have to win 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: eight games. The Bears over eight and a half at 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: plus one point fifteen. I like everything about the team. 22 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I love the coach at least this. I love their 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who's also their head coach. I can't yet 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: say if I know Ben Johnson will be good at 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the head coaching stuff. I know he's good at the 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: play calling stuff. I don't mind the tough love on Caleb. 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: So they'ren over. I have Kansas City. You just bet 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: the Chiefs over every single year. I mean it's since 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: Andy's been there pri Ma Homes. It has failed to 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: hit one time, and they if they only win, if 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: they go twelve and five, people would consider that a 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: bit of a disappointment and it would hit their over. 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: Tampa over nine and a half is probably my favorite 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: bet of all of these. I think the Bucks have 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: a real shot to be the one seed in the NFC, 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: and I think that they are going to win at 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: least eleven games, maybe twelve or thirteen. That's minus one twenty. 38 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: The Raiders over six and a half at minus one 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: forty five. They're the team everyone thinks it's going to 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: be bad that I think it's going to be good. 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: And Atlanta over seven and a half at minus one 42 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: forty Again, they won eight games last year with Cousins 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: falling apart, and I think you know year or two 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: of Raheem Morris with the defense. Those are my overs demons. 45 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: Of those six, what is your favorite and what is 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: your least favorite of my six overs? 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: Then favorite, I gotta say, man, I think it's the 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: Jags over seven and a half. Least favorite. Uh, I 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: don't really. I guess if like, if I had to 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: choose one, my least favorite would be the Bears. 51 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: But like I like, I don't, but you don't hate it? Right? Yeah? 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: All right? Now? The unders six unders as well, Bengals 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: under nine and a half at minus one fifteen. I 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: just don't see a team with those. I think they 55 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: have real question marks on the O line and obvious 56 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: question marks all over the defense. And I think Zach 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Taylor's seat is very hot. I don't think they're getting 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: to double digit wins. The Colts under seven and a 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: half at minus one thirty. This is my favorite of 60 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: the unders. I think they could end up with the 61 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: number one pick of the draft. I think that is 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: absolutely on the board. The Broncos under nine and a 63 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: half at plus one ten. I I think the Broncos 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: are going to get out to a decent start, people 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: are going to be crowing. I think the final two 66 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: months of the season are going to be brutal for them. 67 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: I also think people have overestimated what they're going to 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: get from bo Nicks this year, and they're two major 69 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Their two major defensive editions are such injury risks of 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: me that I don't think. I don't know that they're 71 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: going to get the boost from them that people expect 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: under ten and a half weeks. Oh, if they get 73 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: off to a good start, Yeah, sure, absolutely, Yeah, that's 74 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: on the board. Cowboys under eight and a half minus 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: one forty five. I did this before the Parsons trade. 76 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: I assume you know, odds have shifted on this, but 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: we've made these bets already. Vikings under nine and a 78 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: half minus one twenty five. I just think it's a 79 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: lot to ask in that division for de facto rookie quarterback. 80 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: And I just think the Niners win totals wrong. I 81 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: think the Niners are looked at miners in the schedule 82 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: soft as like a Tier two Super Bowl contender. I 83 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: don't look at them that way. I think that they are, 84 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, a seven to eight win team, so I 85 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: will take under ten and a half for the Niners. 86 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: My favorite there is, as I mentioned, the Colts demands 87 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: your your favorite, your least. 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: Favorite, least favorite, there is angles favorite favorite. Yeah, I 89 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: agree with the Niners. Yeah, the forty nine. 90 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: It's just a big number, man. They can win the 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: division and hit there under like that. It's just a 92 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: big number, all right, make miss playoffs, do it quickly. 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: Jags plus one eighty, Chiefs minus three eighty Raiders plus 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: three forty for a half unit, Giant Giants five to 95 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: one for a quarter unit, and the Bucks minus one seventy. 96 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: Those are make playoffs, miss playoffs. Steelers minus one forty, 97 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Colts minus two sixty, Broncos plus one thirty, Cowboys minus 98 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: two to ten. Again, that one has moved, but I 99 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: got it in time. The Vikings plus one hundred two 100 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: units on that one, and the Cardinals minus one forty 101 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: and then a miss playoffs parlay. I did a few 102 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: of these last year. That screwed me. I'm only doing one. 103 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: Four teams that I think are likely to finish in 104 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: dead last in their division, Saints, Jets, Brown's, Colts all 105 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs minus one thirty five to two units. 106 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: I am acutely aware, demons that the Colts have a 107 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: chance to be the Jags for me this year or 108 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: two years ago. You remember, two years ago, I would 109 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: have had a hugely profitable preseason, you know, gambling shows. 110 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: But I had the Jags involved in four separate bets. 111 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: I lost them all, and because the Jags weren't as 112 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: good as I thought the Colts if the Cults are 113 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: really good, I lose this. I lose to miss the 114 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: playoffs bet and I lose. They're under Luckily, Daniel Jones 115 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: is greatly involved, so I'm not worried about that. 116 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still getting accustomed to the betting and stuff. Yeah, 117 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: parlaying four things to is just getting minus one? Is 118 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: that not terrible odds? Oh no, no, no, it's terrible value. 119 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: Okaym yes, you you're you're you are correct in telling 120 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: me that is a square wager. Okay, together, putting four 121 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: things together just for the opportunity that lay minus one 122 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: thirty five is terrible process. 123 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: But I'm seeing I just. 124 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: Feel yeah, no, you're right. I just feel like Saints, Jets, 125 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: Browns are just do a for the playoffs, and so 126 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: it's it's I have the Cults to miss the Platoves 127 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: at minus two sixty and then I have them basically 128 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: again to miss the playoffs at minus one thirty five. 129 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: So that's that's the way I'm doing it. It's not 130 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: good process. You're right, all right. The new picks. Before 131 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: we get to Demands's picks, which were wildly profitable last year, 132 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: we are only doing three division winner bets. And I 133 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: can't believe the first two of these demands are only 134 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: minus one fifteen. Tell the audience the first one. 135 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: All right, no surprise here. We got the Chiefs to 136 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: win the West of the AFC West, sorry, at minus 137 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: one fifteen. 138 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they win it every year. Mahomes is thirty five 139 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: and five in his career in the division. They win 140 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: it by an average in Mahomes' career by four games. 141 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Last year, the AFC West had three playoff teams. It 142 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: was such a tough division. They won it by four games. 143 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: Despite throwing week eighteen, minus won fifteen. I'll take the 144 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs over the field. The next one. Another team, Demonse 145 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: that wins their division every year, only minus won fifteen. 146 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: What is it? 147 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: We've got the Bucks to win the NFC South at. 148 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: Minus one fifteen, like the Saints and Panthers to me 149 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: are no shot no shotters, and the I just think 150 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: the Bucks are gonna be really good. And then the last, 151 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: So that's I love. I might like that even more 152 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: than I like the Chiefs one. But I the just because. 153 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: How weak the division is. 154 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right. And then I found I found a 155 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: plus money parlay here Demons only two teams. 156 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: So we got a division winner. We got Baltimore plus 157 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: Buffalo at plus one oh six. I'd say that's another 158 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: safe one. 159 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's really to me, just fading the Bengals. 160 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not worried about the Steelers. It's 161 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: just maybe, you know, maybe the defense somehow with the 162 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: new decordinator is average. The offense is the same, and 163 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: they have an awesome year. But Baltimore and Buffalo are 164 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: such regular season juggernauts that putting them together at plus 165 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: one oh six to me makes sense. And then our 166 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: annual tradition Super Bowl EXACTA. Three years ago we had 167 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs Niners, and the Niners found themselves in the conference 168 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: championship game. Last two years ago we had Chiefs Cowboys 169 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys found themselves with twelve wins. Last year 170 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: we had Chiefs Bears, and the Bears had a season 171 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: from hell and missed the playoffs. This year, the Super 172 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: Bowl EXACTA at fifty five to one is drum roll please, Demonse. 173 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: We got Kansas City versus Tampa Bay and the Super 174 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: Bowl exact plus fifty five hundred. 175 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: How about the and then obviously spoiler Super Bowl exactly 176 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: with the winner. 177 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: Right, Kansas City defeat Tampa Bay at plus eleven thousand. 178 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: Indeed, So, Demanse, here's something I didn't even think about 179 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: when I made this pick. Brew mentioned it. The Chiefs 180 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: with Mahomes have been to five Super Bowls, all rematches, 181 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: played Philly twice, played San Francisco twice. The one other 182 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: team they played Tampa Bay, another Super Bowl rematch bake 183 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: show against Patrick revisiting the greatest, the craziest college football 184 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: game ever played. Do you know about their college game. 185 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: Demonse, against each other? Yeah, I'm sure they each other up. 186 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: Hold on, well, let me, Demonse, so let me just 187 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: tell you real quick twenty sixteen, because they have played 188 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: in the playoffs before. All right, so the final score, Tomanse, 189 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: let me, I'm just actually hold on, let me just 190 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: go to Patrick Mahomes college stats. Final score was sixty 191 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: six to fifty nine, so that gives you a little 192 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: bit of a preview. It was Texas Tech where Baker 193 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: started against Oklahoma, and hold on, where is it here? 194 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: It is? The final stats are as follows. Uh. Joe 195 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: Mixon was in the game. He ran for two sixty okay, 196 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: and four touchdowns, but that wasn't the story. The story 197 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: was Baker. Baker was twenty seven of thirty six only 198 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: through thirty six passes for five hundred and forty five yards, 199 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, no picks. 200 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 2: Jesus okay, okay. 201 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: Patrick Patrick was fifty two of eighty eight for seven 202 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four yards five touchdowns running well, No, 203 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: they did have running back go twelve carries for eighty 204 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: five yards and two touchdowns. That running back's name was 205 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. So Mahomes in that game combined for eight 206 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards, seven touchdowns, one pick. Bake Show 207 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: in that game never ran the ball through for five 208 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: forty five and seven touchdowns on just thirty six attempts. 209 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: Mahomes threw at eighty eight times. It is an all 210 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: time legendary college football game. Yeah, yeah, October twenty second, 211 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen all timer. And so they've played in the 212 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: playoffs before Patrick got hurt against the Baker was there 213 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: in the Browns and yeah that's my uh, that is 214 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: most Super Bowl exact.

Now this wasn't 247 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: every week, but we were undefeated. 248 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: I was very picky with when I went with the 249 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Bruisers love a good touchdown, Genie. They love an octopus 250 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: bet in the Super Bowl. They we'll have a touchdown, Jeannie. 251 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: They love all these things. I was very choosy on 252 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: when I wanted to do it, and I didn't realize it, 253 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: but I did go undefeated on it. All right, five 254 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: picks every week? What's my first pick? 255 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: First pick? We've got Kansas City minus three versus the Chargers. 256 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a neutral site and they're only laying three. 257 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: It's not I think the Chiefs are the best team 258 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: in football. I think the Chargers are around the fourteenth 259 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: best team in football. I do not think any team 260 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: is more used to handling odd environments than Kansas City. 261 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: Patrick is five and two against the spread and openers. 262 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: I understand Herbert is a really good against the spread 263 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: quarterback early in the season ten and five, but part 264 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: of that is Patrick being five and two is even 265 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: more impressive when you consider the fact that the Chiefs 266 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: have become such a public team. Those lines are usually inflated. 267 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: Chargers in the other direction. You know, they haven't had 268 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: a ton of early season high high level expectations. I 269 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: just think I do not see I think that Trent 270 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: McDuffie is going to be able to neutralize Lad McConkie. 271 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: And with if that happens, how else are the Chargers 272 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: who are they throwing it to? Like? How are they 273 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: moving the ball? And don't I know hardball is going 274 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: to want to run the No Rashwan Slater is a 275 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: big deal. The Chiefs minus three against the Chargers is 276 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: my first bet of the year and spoiler a bit. 277 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: It is the only favorite I am taking in Week one. 278 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: Next pick Demonse, next Weick. 279 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: You got Miami plus one at Indian. 280 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a pretty simple for me. You get 281 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: the Dolphins indoors, controlled climate, obviously fast track like that, 282 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: You get too a healthy like that, You get Tyreek 283 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: something to prove early in the year like that, and 284 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: then you get a team in the Colts that I 285 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: believe might end up being the worst team in football 286 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: this year. It's certainly it's possible. I am getting a 287 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: point now. Obviously getting one point doesn't help you a lot. 288 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: It's you're really just picking a winner. Excuse me, I apologize, 289 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: But if the Dolphins, the Dolphins have any chance of 290 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: having a better season than I think the general public expects, 291 00:18:52,359 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: from them. They must start fast, Colts, Pats, Bill's tough, Jets, Panthers, Chargers, 292 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: Browns like that. That's their opening slate because late in 293 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: the year we go, you go Ravens, Bill's Commanders, Saints, Easy, Jets, Steelers, Bengals, Bucks, 294 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: Pats like and a lot of cold weather games in there. 295 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: This is a as close to a Week one must 296 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: win for a team's playoff hopes as exist. I don't love, obviously, 297 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: the the Colts quarterback in Daniel Jones. I think Miami 298 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: wins the game outright, and I think Miami's gonna be 299 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: able to move the ball in the Colts defense. I'll 300 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: take Miami plus one at. 301 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: Indy, and next you've got Cleveland plus five or Cincinnati. 302 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: I do I love this? I don't. 303 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 304 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: Does it feel good including the Cleveland Browns and my 305 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: Week one picks? Of course not. However, what was lost, 306 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: what's lost in the shuffle about the Browns in Week 307 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: one is this, they'll be fine at quarterback this week now, 308 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: once Flacco starts taking some hits, once the season starts progressing, 309 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: you know how fine are they going to be? Probably 310 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: not at all, but this will probably be the best 311 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: quarterback situation they have all year. Cincinnati has Trey Hendrickson 312 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: coming off missing most of training camp, Shamar Stewart rookie 313 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: pass rusher, missed a lot of the offseason, the first 314 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: game for a new defensive coordinator, and maybe most importantly, 315 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: and this is a point I have been trying to make. 316 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: I have real concerns about since he's offensive line and 317 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: you got Miles Garrett, since he also so just desperately 318 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: needs a win, that I don't think this is at 319 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: any point going to be a style points type of game. 320 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a man, if 321 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: we're up three late, suck the air out of the stadium, 322 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: get out of there with a win. So I think 323 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, twenty one to seventeen Cincinnati 324 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: is a pretty likely outcome for this game. I'll take 325 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: the five points. I'm it's a home divisional dog against 326 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: a team that is awful every single year in Week one, 327 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: and so Cleveland plus five against Cincinnati is the way 328 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm going. It's not calling a Cleveland win. I just 329 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: don't think Cincinnati is gonna dominate the game because they 330 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: never dominate early in the season. 331 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: Next to look there to you, pops, we got Vegas at. 332 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: Plus two and you don't like that one. 333 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: It's it's yeah, because what if Cincinnati does what if 334 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 2: they don't come out slow like they usually do. 335 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: Well, then I'll lose the bet. 336 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Divisional. 337 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: I will also say, is here's the other thing we 338 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: know about Flacco. Flacco loves chucking it deep and going 339 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: for a back door cover like that is that's the 340 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: other piece, Like could this be Cincinnati up twenty seven 341 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: seventeen with ninety seconds left and Flacco is you know, 342 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: throwing bombs and we end up stealing a back door 343 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: cover for sure? All right? 344 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: Next next you've got a Vegas plus two and a 345 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: half at New England. 346 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. So this is, you know, basically just going with 347 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: my preseason feel that the Raiders are better than people 348 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: think they are now. I also think New England could 349 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: be good, but iing New England is going to have 350 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: real trouble scoring points this year. I like the rookie 351 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: running back, I like Drake may I don't like the 352 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: receivers at all. And where the Raiders are gonna be 353 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: in trouble is against teams with explosive offenses. The Patriots 354 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: do not have that, So I think that this is 355 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: one of the few matchups all year where the Raiders 356 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: defense is not going to be exploited. I think Max 357 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: Crosby could have a big impact on that Patriots offensive line. 358 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: And if I know Vrabel, he's going to game plan 359 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: to just not let Max Crosby stripsack flip the game, 360 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 1: which leads to conservative play calling and a lot of 361 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: what he did at times in Tennessee, which is just 362 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: keep it close and try to out execute them late. 363 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: I think Geno is gonna come out firing. I obviously 364 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: really like Ashton genty and I think the Raiders win 365 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: this game. And I'm getting two and a half points. 366 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: This feels to me like twenty one to twenty Raiders. 367 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: So I'll take the Raiders plus two and a half. Also, 368 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: Patriots won four games last year teams that won four 369 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: if you were the previous year, and our Week one 370 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: favorites are zero to five against the spread and the 371 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: last five it's it's a rare thing that happens, and 372 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: so I will go with the Raiders plus two and 373 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: a half. 374 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: Last, lastly, you've got Buffalo plus one versus Baltimore. 375 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. This is not anti 376 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: Lamar at all. He's a great player and a great, great, 377 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: great regular season player. No, it's it's simply this. If 378 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: Buffalo is at home, they shouldn't be underdogs, that's all, 379 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like Buffalo is too good 380 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: of a team to be a home dog, and I 381 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: think that that is I also saw Baltimore last year 382 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: when people thought, oh, they have an extra chip on 383 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: their shoulder because that's the team that knocked him out 384 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: of the playoffs in the Chiefs and the Chiefs controlled 385 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: that game. And so this, by the way, is a 386 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: very similar situation. Last year, it was Kansas City minus 387 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: one and a half? Was it minus no? Yes, it 388 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: was Kansas City minus one and a half against Baltimore 389 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. And that was why that likely play 390 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: was almost such an awful beat because I had KC 391 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: minus one and a half, case was up seven. They score, 392 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: they think they score that touchdown, and then they're gonna 393 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: go for two, which would have killed the bet. You know, 394 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: Like if they go for two and they make it, 395 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: they win. If they go for two and they miss it, 396 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: they lose. Either way, the Chiefs couldn't win by a 397 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: point and a half. But I just don't think Buffalo 398 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: should be home dogs. And this'll be the only time 399 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: where do they play the Chiefs, And by the way, 400 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be home dogs against they play the Chiefs 401 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,239 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but they'll be favored in that game. Like 402 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: this is also a little too much, a little too 403 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: much respect for Baltimore. Like anytime this year, Buffalo is 404 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: a home dog all betam which means right now is 405 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: the only time. This is the only time all regular 406 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: season they'll be a home dog. So my five picks, 407 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: and a lot of this does have to do with 408 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: preseason priors, but what else can you do in Week one? 409 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City minus one in Brazil against the Chargers, Miami 410 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: plus one at the Colts, Cleveland getting five at home 411 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, Las Vegas getting two and a half in 412 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: New England, and Buffalo getting one at home against Baltimore. 413 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: My friends at boost Mobile ever signed up for a 414 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: phone play and thinking wow, amazing price.

Bill Belichick's debut happened, 427 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: started good hell of an opening drive, and then the 428 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: rest of the game happened. 429 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: He bamboozled in that opening drive, got that opening touchdown, 430 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: and it was pretty much downhill from there. It was 431 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: this is a historically bad opener for you and c Actually, 432 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 2: what's the what's the state of Bill Belichick? That was? 433 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: That was pretty rough him obviously, yes, NFL coach. 434 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: So this was I when we were talking and we're 435 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: going to get to Arch Manning in a second, but 436 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: when the discussion surrounding Arch Manning over the weekend was 437 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: a lot of well, what do you expect from him, 438 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: it's up against that Matt Patricia pro style defense. And 439 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: I said yesterday, I think that is underselling the impact 440 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: the Ohio State players had and over selling the impact 441 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: the actual coach had, because to me, that was more 442 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: about a young player who'd never played on the road, 443 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: playing in a brutal environment and the other team having 444 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: all these pros on defense than it was about Matt 445 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: Patricia's brilliant scheme. But that was not a popular take. 446 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: The popular take was that Patricia was Dick Lebou mixed 447 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: with Vince Lombardi out there, which would lead you to believe, well, 448 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: if that's what Patricia's defense looks like, holy smokes, wait 449 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: till you see his mentor Bill Belichick's defense, you know, 450 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: Monday night against TCU. And then what happened. What happened 451 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: Monday night against TCU was his team with the seventy 452 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: new players, with all the hype, with Jordan and Mia 453 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: Hamm and Lawrence Taylor and all the North Carolina royalty 454 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: in the stadium got absolutely dog walked for three hours. 455 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: Because here's the truth, more than anything about college football, 456 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: scheme matters, to a degree, talent matters more than anything. 457 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: Why is college coaching so important for the recruiting for 458 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: the in this day's NIA, the ability to acquire the talent, 459 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: and it is colored. I looked at yesterday's game and 460 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: I said, TCU has a veteran quarterback who's been with 461 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: the program for three years. North Carolina is starting a 462 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: kid that transferred from South Alabama. I don't care that 463 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: it's at North Carolina. That is not exactly a super 464 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: scary or intimidating place to play. And I thought TCU. 465 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: I didn't think they were gonna win by thirty, but 466 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: I thought they'd cover the three and a half. And 467 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: I think folks that expected Belichick to come in and 468 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: do a snap turn them into a contender turnaround were foolish. Now, oddly, Demonse, 469 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: I think this actually makes it more likely that Bill 470 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: Belichick is the North Carolina head coach in a year. Yeah, 471 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: because the only way he wasn't going to be the 472 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: North Carolina head coach in a year was if this 473 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: went so well that an NFL team was like, Okay, 474 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's he's had his time off, we 475 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: now want to bring him in. I don't think it's 476 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: going to go that way, and I do think that 477 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: it is totally fair and totally in bounds to ask 478 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the question, does seventy something year old Bill Belichick have 479 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: his eye on the ball here? That how much of Belichick, 480 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: mister no distractions? Do your job, keep the main thing, 481 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: the main thing? How much of that has been weakened 482 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: by this three plus year at this point relationship with 483 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: wanna be starlet Jordan Hudson. That's fair, that's not out 484 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: of bounds. That isn't I you're bringing up the guy's 485 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: personal life because they have made their relationship super public 486 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: via Instagram posts, podcast interviews, the CBS Morning News, and 487 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: via the weirdest business run of trademarking attempting to trademark 488 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: gold Digger and other weird stuff that you just know 489 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: is going to shine the spotlight on the coach and 490 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: his girlfriend. Who is the coach is older than Demonse's 491 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: grandmother and the girlfriend is younger than Demonse. That's all fair, 492 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: and the only way to knock that out and have 493 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: it just be a side thing is to be great. 494 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: And not only do I not think they're going to 495 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: be great, I think they are going. I think the 496 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: expectations were a touch too high. You watch that game 497 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: last night and you said to yourself, Oh, are they 498 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: going to have competent quarterback play? That's a fair question. 499 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: Then you watched that game last night and you said 500 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: to yourself, oh, does that defense. You've got to assume 501 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: the defense is well coached, So how do we explain 502 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: what we saw? Do they just really not have the personnel? 503 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 1: Then you ask yourself the question of how long has 504 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: it been since we have known Bill Belichick is a 505 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: an above average talent evaluator. All those things come together 506 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: for some very nervous times. So now listen, they get 507 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: Charlotte Richmond and then UCF. I'll be totally honest, I 508 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: don't know how good UCF is supposed to be this year. 509 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: They will beat Charlotte and Richmond, and they don't have 510 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: because they're in the ACC and because of the draw, 511 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: they have the only juggernaut on their schedules, Clemson. But 512 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: in a month when they host Clemson, it's going to 513 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: look like the TCU game but works. And if TCU, 514 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: a team on the fringes of the top twenty five 515 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: but outside of it, can do that to you, then 516 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: you really worry about what any of the legitimate power 517 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: five programs are going to do to them. And so. 518 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 2: I think that anything that happens throughout this season is 519 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: going to affect his legacy. Can it do that positively 520 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: or negatively? Or is it too early? 521 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: No. Listen, if he went to college football and was awesome, 522 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: that would positively affect his legacy. Him going to college 523 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: football and being awful will not, in my opinion, negatively 524 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: affect his legacy, except it will be it will affect 525 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: it like this in thirty years demonse, when you're talking 526 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: sports with young people and they're talking about the greatest 527 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: coaches of all time and they're like, yeah, you know, 528 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick at that point is like Vince Lombardi, 529 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, where they act like what 530 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: was you know, what made him greater? Whatever? You'll be 531 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: like and really weird end for him, Right, he went 532 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: and coached college and dated this twenty year old and 533 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: like it kind of. 534 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: You know, it's the last thing you remember about him. 535 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: Right. But it won't be a thing. My point is this, 536 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: It won't be a thing that actually sticks to the legacy. 537 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: It will just be a thing that people who were 538 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: here for it remember, bring it, that's it. You know 539 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: what I mean, but it won't it won't stick to 540 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: it for those in the history books. Now here's where 541 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: it does hurt his legacy to a degree, at least 542 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: in my mind. And sorry, if we're taking some internet hits, 543 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: we got nothing open but the script. So there's I 544 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: got no way around that. Oh there is one thing 545 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: I can do, hold on the he needed to be 546 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: really good at North Carolina Demandsay to have a chance 547 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: to get back to the NFL and run down Shula. Yeah, 548 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: so that part, you know what I mean, That part 549 00:36:53,120 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: hurts him. But no, this is not his NFL legacy. 550 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: And listen, I know people are gonna throw up the 551 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: record with Brady, record without Brady. The problem for that 552 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: is we all saw, like those of us that saw 553 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: those first three Patriot Championships understand how great they were 554 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: defensively and that Brady wasn't Brady yet. And those of 555 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 1: us that are being fair also remember the final Patriot 556 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: Championship where they scored thirteen points in the Super Bowl 557 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: and Belichick's defense made Sean McVeigh and Todd Gurley and 558 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: Jared Goff look totally inept on the biggest stage. So 559 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: like that, I'm not gonna allow like the revisionist history 560 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: on that, But this is a really a very auspicious 561 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: inn or beginning to the final chapter.
