Speaker 1: co host Professional Better Simon Hunter Ello sign Chad.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: What a week of football we've had, My friend.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Dude, we can talk about the Indiana Hoosiers. I appreciate

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: everyone giving their love, attention, good karma, good vibes to

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: the Hoosiers. I will be going to Atlanta next week. Wow, Hoosiers.

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: Good man game for the final four game for the

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Hoosiers against Oregon. Bigger news the Panthers body. They come

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: through for us on the brass balls. It kind of

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: played out, no joke, exactly as we expected it to.

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Bryce Young in the clutch at the end of the game,

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: making at least one play in the exact moment he

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: needed to make the play. This is why we've loved

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers. It's why we've bet the Panthers. He's done

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: this so many times. They had that great graphic that

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: he's had more fourth quarter ot wins than any quarterback

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL since twenty three, twelve of them, twelve

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: of their fourteen wins in that time frame had been comebacks.

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: It was the full Bryce Young Carolina Panthers experience, and

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: we got it with the brass balls.

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, bizarre game. I don't know about. When you flipped

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: on the TV, then you saw was trotial downpourn. I

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, this I was a little worried.

28
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be quite an experience. But it's

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: also a reminder why we don't want domes. It's just

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: games in the elements, and you know, late December, early January,

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: that's just that's just the best. But yeah, this this

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: Bucks team, I don't know what they're gonna do in

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: the offseason.

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to keep Todd Bowles.

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: But in a must win game, you have Mike Evans

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: having two catches, you have Godwin with one catch, and

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: a Meca Book with one catch for eight yards. I mean,

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: it's so broken there. I don't know what they need

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: to do. But the first drive, Baker couldn't miss. Guys

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: were wide open, and the rest of the game was

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: just a brutal struggle. So yeah, very happy. We covered

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: very emotional game. Unfortunately I was on the forty nine

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: ers side and that that did not come. That was

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: Purty's worst game I think I've seen him play in

45
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: his career. I think that's the only time Shanahan has

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: ever only scored three points as in offense.

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you.

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: I literally thought we were in that game the whole

49
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: first half and then basically they sacked Sam Darnold before

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: the first half ended.

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: Uh, and Shaneahan dies.

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: A call on any of his timeouts, and yeah, it was

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: so weird, and I was like, oh my god, this

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: man has no confidence right now in this offense. So

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: tons of props Seattle's defense. They were the best unit

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 3: coming into the game. They showed up. You know, anytime

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: we hold you hold Seattle's offense a thirteen points, you

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: think think, all right, we should probably win or cover

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: this game. No, we got the worst gampossible. So one

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: on one on the Saturdays, hopefully can bounce back. Today

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: comes Sunday.

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: No, Trent Williams killed the Niners. That line moved to

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: three before kickoff. By the way, I know you were

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: worried about this. Rico Dowdo had ten yards rushing, he

65
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: did need seven to get to his million dollar bonus

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: in total scrimmage yards. He also had twenty five yards receiving,

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: did not get as any time touchdown. So if he

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: didn't get his two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bonus,

69
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: he did get the million though, so good for the

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Panthers to still be in it. Good for Rico Daudell.

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. This is the strip down in

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the room eavesdropping version of Sharper Square. We're going to

73
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: make some tough decisions today. You guys are going to

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: hear it all and then we will recap it later tonight.

75
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: You can see the dynamic contest lines. Simon and I

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: are playing at the Sharper Square Pro Football Pick Them contest.

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: If you signed up to play at Sharper Square dot

78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: the volume dot com, you can follow Simon or I,

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Chad and Simon or Chat and Simon BFFs. So remember

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: these lines are dynamic. They open on Tuesday. You can

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: play the minute any time between Tuesday and Sunday. So

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: some of these lines were talking about there have been

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: crazy moves. If you were smart you've been keeping track

84
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: and paying attention, and you either put picks in early

85
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: and then you make changes later in the week, or

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: you're playing the lines as they stand today. Are you ready?

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Brother? It's cool?

88
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: All right? First one up New Orleans plus three and

89
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: a half at Atlanta. We're kind of on this in

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: honor of the Tyler Schuck for a million dollars game.

91
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: It has real meaning now because if the Falcons win,

92
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers are in the playoffs. If the Saints win,

93
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks are in the playoffs. Chris Olave is out,

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: so that worries us. How do you think Tedorold McMillan

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: had a really good game yesterday and obviously had catch

96
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: that put them in a position to score at the

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: end of the game. His odds for Rookie of the

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: Year have improved since last night, so it's a longer

99
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: number for Tyler Shuck right now. How are you watching

100
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: this game since you have significant opportunities in Tyler Shuck

101
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year futures right now?

102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: And like I said, going to the game, if they

104
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: won the division, you know, Carolina wins the division, it'd

105
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: be hard enough to give the tet especially the fact

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: that win over one thousand yards.

107
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's over one thousand yards now too.

108
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just in a very very very weak

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: rookie class, he is the only one that really consistently

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: played well.

111
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: The entire season for a team in contention.

112
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so's it's his award, and this type of game

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: where Shuck needs basically a throw for I don't know,

114
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: three p fifty two touchdowns, no picks, and win the game.

115
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: That's basically the only way.

116
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: I could see him kind of pulling it out here,

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: just because he does have the opportunity. The last thing

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: people see tends to be the way a lot of

119
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: these voters vote. So he does show up and play

120
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: really well win this game, I could see him giveing

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: it to him.

122
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: But you just said it's all it's all stacked against

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: him here. He's been against Atlanta.

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: Team that is probably the healthiest they've been in five

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 3: six weeks defensively, offensively, and unfortunately for him, he's missing Olave.

126
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: So that's why this number has gone for three and

127
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: a half. So yeah, we're taking it. We have this

128
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: number locked in. It's just a tough week with these dogs,

129
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: Like a lot of these dogs I do like them,

130
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: but it's gonna be interesting to see how this one

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: plays out, where I could see the Atlanta Falcons being

132
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: much more committed to this game than I can see

133
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: the Saints. Yes, I'm excited to see how this one starts,

134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: just because for lucky enough Chat we get a big

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: seven oh start lead by the Saints, I'll feel much

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: more comfortable and throw down by fourteen going at a halftime.

137
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: It just feels the top game of third down here.

138
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: I know which conferdence I have in the Saints team.

139
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: Where on the flip side with Atlanta, you know, as

140
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: good as they've been, they are another team that have

141
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: been totally upside down, up and down, I should say

142
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: this season. So we'll see Kirk Cousins is a big

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: three and a half point favorite. It's a lot of

144
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: points for Kirk to be catching these days.

145
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: He's been much better. They've been much better with Kirk

146
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Cousins the last five weeks than they were in the

147
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the season with Michael Pennix. And now they'll

148
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: be full that they'll have Drake London, they'll have Kyle

149
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: Pitts let Bijon. Their defense have been playing much much better,

150
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: interesting matchup. It's one of there's two games in here

151
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: that I'm pretty nervous about that we're going to talk

152
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: about in the first five that we have locked in

153
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: right now. Cleveland is Cincinnati Cincinnati minus seven and a half. Simon,

154
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: this is going to be rocking on her plays Better

155
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the Week presented by hard Rock Bet a Lot. We

156
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: know the Bengals defense is suspect, but we are always

157
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: going to bet against the Browns on the road. And

158
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: I will say it again Joe Burrow. The past five

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: games take away that Joe's in his feelings game against

160
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens where it felt like he was a ghost

161
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: and they lost twenty four to nothing. They're averaging nearly

162
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: forty points a game, and we know that they are

163
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: the kind of team and franchise that talks about building

164
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: on success, and we know they like to win out

165
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the year so they can go

166
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: into next year feeling good. They have talked about it.

167
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: So Joe is going to go out there backyarded up.

168
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: He loves playing ball. He's got Jamar Chase. He's going

169
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: to try to light it up as much as he can.

170
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm on the Bengals at the seven. I think I'm

171
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: also big on the Bengals and the Rams money line

172
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: today we're going with the Bengals.

173
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: I think we're both in the same place with this one.

174
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: We think this is a total opening up, you know,

175
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: put up big numbers heading to the offseason.

176
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: Type of team for this Bengals sit every year, right

177
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: these teams. Yeah, look that's our word with the Landa

178
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: right now.

179
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: Like these teams, they peaked late in the season, they

180
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: win to finish in a high note. The Bengals line

181
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: up for all those things. On the flip side of Cleveland,

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: I gave out that stat since last year after a win,

183
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: last two seasons, they're zero and six against the spread

184
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: after a straight up win. So it's just a team

185
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: that does not handled success well. And we joked it's

186
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 3: all about the sack, right. I can just easily see

187
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: this Miles Garrett getting the sack and then totally shutting

188
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: him down defensively and once he's out that just I mean,

189
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: it's kind of new neutralize their pass for us. So

190
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: give me a really interesting matchup, and I just cannot

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: see Cleveland's offense keeping up with since the offense I think.

192
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: They're already down now.

193
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: So they're down their star rookie running back and the

194
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: star rookie tight end. Yeah, it's all on standers here,

195
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: so just a bad spot for them. So yeah, we

196
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: we love this one, and I hope people can hear

197
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: this and get it now. This is just just like

198
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 3: all these other these love their favorites, going up way,

199
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: going up high. This is gonna get up to minus

200
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: eight mins eight and a half by kickoff. I think,

201
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: I just think tons of money. Just it's like you said,

202
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: the money line parlays are going to be factoring between

203
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: the Bengals, the Rams, all these teams. It's going to

204
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: drive a lot of these lines up. You can still

205
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: get Bengals seven and a half at hard Rock, but

206
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: a lot of other books now are popping up eight

207
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: eight and a half.

208
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Another game that's making us a little bit nervous Detroit

209
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Lions plus three at hard Rock. Bet it's three and

210
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: a half in most places. And in our contest, they're

211
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: visiting the Chicago Bears. All the conversation about the Bears

212
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: right now. Ken Kleb Williams get two hundred and seventy

213
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: yards to get to four thousand yards. I know Ben

214
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Johnson doesn't give a shit about that. He's going to

215
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: play the game plan that's going to give them the

216
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: most chances at winning this game and confirming their seating position.

217
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: We know they've got a little bit of an advantage.

218
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: They got to be thinking about that because the Eagles

219
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: are going to be resting starters, so money has been

220
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: coming in at least at hard Rock on the Lions line.

221
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: The line has moved from three and a half down

222
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: to three. We are on the Lions here, Like I

223
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: woke up this morning and I'm like, why are we

224
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: on the Lions I have no feeling for this game

225
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: right now?

226
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: You know we're supposed to be though. This is as

227
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: low as it can get for this Lions team.

228
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: I just don't know when that's right.

229
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: It's a bi low spot.

230
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: It is the definition of one and it's a definition

231
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: of selling this Bears team that very very Like I

232
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: said all year, it's been so impressive what they've done

233
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: with just a rag tap to a group on that defense. Right,

234
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: They've had an insane amount of injuries, yes, and I

235
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: think you still lead the league in turnover margin, Like

236
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: it's just incredible.

237
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: What they've done.

238
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: They've been such a risker war type of defense. And yeah,

239
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: if you're a Bears fan, I think you have the

240
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: same mentality I do. You just need to outscore this

241
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: Lions team. That's what this is going to be all about,

242
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: just because the Lions are going to lay it all

243
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: out there, right. Their achilles heel this season has been

244
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: that offensive line. Do you guys have the guys that

245
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: can really make a difference on that defensive line? We

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 3: do not, And that's the issue there. So I can

247
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: see this being like the old days of the Lions.

248
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: That Campbell's gonna try to run the ball thirty five times.

249
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: He just seems hell bent are running the ball in

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: this game and setting the tone and into the offseason

251
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: with this team. So yeah, the Lions, you know, I

252
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 3: can't get over how this point of a year it is,

253
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: but they know it's.

254
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: Been the injuries.

255
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: So for for this Bears team, can they live up

256
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: to this moment chat after having such a letdown? And

257
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: that's Sunday night game, right, they lost the one seed.

258
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: Now they're playing for the teacher. He's saw a huge deal. Right,

259
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: They're still gonna get up for that. But I'm really

260
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: interesting how these young team handles that. And that's that's

261
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: why I'm banking this Detroit team, especially the number. And

262
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 3: it's all money, all the tickets, everything is pouring in

263
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: on this Bears team right now. Like I'm looking at

264
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: a couple of different books, eighty percent of the money

265
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: is on this Bears team. So you know, I get

266
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: where the polks coming from. The Lions have their last

267
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: time we saw them play, I think, but they have

268
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: five turnovers against the Vikings, just like themselves in a game.

269
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: But it's the number, Chad.

270
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: If it was two and a half, two, you could

271
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: have talked into this Bears team. But at three to

272
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: three and a half, come on, you gotta take the line.

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: The Bears, even against bad teams this year, they just

274
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: played close games. It's just who they are. They play

275
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 3: these type of close games. So give me the three

276
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: in the hook with this Lion's team, all right?

277
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Fulle Arizona at the Los Angeles Rams. Crazy line move

278
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: in this one. We've been talking about the Rams all week.

279
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully people were listening. The line had been seven last Sunday,

280
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: we were betting at seven seven and a half. We

281
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: have locked it in at seven and a half in

282
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: the contest. This is going to be the pivot point

283
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: game for us this week about changes we want to

284
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: make because the line is now thirteen and a half,

285
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: so we're getting a massive, massive advantage. We're getting a

286
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: great number in the contest. We've been betting it at

287
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: seven seven and a half a week. I would not

288
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: recommend anyone better at thirteen and a half. So we're

289
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: not saying take them, take the rams right now, put

290
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: them in some moneyline parlays. But how are we not

291
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: loving this right now?

292
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

293
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: I love it, just like I said, though I think

294
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: I said if there's a show, I don't hate if

295
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: this number got up to what it is at now

296
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: thirteen thirteen and a half, just because what I talked about,

297
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: this is the type of game where McVeigh I can

298
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: never see him, you know, running the clock out. I

299
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: just think he wants to just get this offense and

300
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: then best rhythmiculd possibly get, which is just putting up

301
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: a ton of points. And I gave you my whole

302
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: Stafford pitch about MVP. Yeah, he needs to get the

303
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: three touchdowns and he joins that magical club of Bradon

304
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers of forty five touchdowns under ten interceptions, both

305
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: one MVP. So there are some weird numbers here where

306
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: the Rams are going to try to go after it.

307
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: But you're right. The scary part is this number.

308
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: Jump six points because what they're playing for the fifth seed?

309
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, exactly right, kind of in insane movement. Yeah,

310
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: like we talked about, I hope people took the Rams.

311
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: They could have got at a better number. And yeah,

312
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: this is not like you said we were locked in here.

313
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: If we were going to take any game, I think

314
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: we both agree it probably would be the Saints. But

315
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: this is such an a incredible value. I'm happy to

316
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: keep our picks as is, just because you're six points

317
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: of value here.

318
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: You know, my only other great is we didn't take

319
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: the Vikings, but this.

320
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: One, Yeah, I regret that as well. My bad Baltimore

321
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh plus three and a half. Lamar is playing.

322
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: This line hasn't budged. No, Lamar hasn't looked good all season,

323
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: struggling running the ball. He's now coming off a back injury.

324
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: It's a raw Ram Mike Tomlin spot. The other day,

325
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: we were thinking maybe we like it more that Lamar

326
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: is playing instead of Snoop Huntley because we don't know

327
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: how healthy he's going to be, and there's a lot

328
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: of drama going on in the Ravens right now. End

329
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: of the day. I'll say it again, I don't think

330
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: this Ravens defense is very good. So to me, that's

331
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: the on field value in getting the hook for the

332
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: Steelers at three and a half.

333
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there actually is a little bit of lineman

334
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: like hard Rock in Jersey now has moved the four. So,

335
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: like I said, I think I said that on Thursday

336
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: Show that if Lamar does get cleared, you could get

337
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: some four to four and a halfs. The way it's

338
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: looking now, I do think we get there by kickoff.

339
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: I just think the public will keep coming on the

340
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: Ravens and just keep betting this number up. So I

341
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: do think you might be able to get a four

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: if you're patient here on the Steelers, if that's what

343
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: you want. But you know, this is another game where

344
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: you try to make sense of it and you're gonna

345
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: drive yourself crazy. These matchups never make sense. You just

346
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: need to take the dogs and me and Chad we

347
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: paid dearly. I still look back. I cannot believe. We

348
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: can't believe we did it as a five and a

349
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: half point favorite, but even we get burnt here, it's

350
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: a long term winner. You just take this position on

351
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and you really are banking on their defense to

352
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: show up. That's that's what we're hanging our hat on,

353
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: just because we know without DK, it's gonna be it's

354
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: gonna be hard to move the ball for the Steelers.

355
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: You just saw that.

356
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: Like Roger's not having his safety val, that's a big

357
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: deal in his career. You go through all of Rogers history,

358
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: he always had a dominant number one. You could say, well,

359
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: he makes them the dominant number one. Yes, no one's

360
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: disagree with you. He made Jordan Nelson, Devontae Adams, you know,

361
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: James Jones, all these guys work. I just you saw

362
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: last week like three straight through his mvs. Not the

363
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 3: position me and Chat want to be in, but it's

364
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 3: the exac scenario. Like I think he had a great

365
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: quote Aaron Rodgers. He said, how many times have I

366
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: played back to back bad games? Which I look through

367
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: it in his old age, he has had a couple

368
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: of back to back stinkers. But this exact pipe of

369
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: matchup like will playoff to make the playoff at home

370
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: as a dog. You know, Rogers has only been in

371
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: the spot one of their time his career and he won.

372
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: So I know it's tough because he's an aging guy

373
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: and you know you're now taking away his number one receiver.

374
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: But it's the Tomlin voodoo. It's the Tomlin vood at

375
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 3: the in the day. And it's a weird game too.

376
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: I talked to Pittsburgh's tough their fans. They want to

377
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: lose this because they want to get rid of Tomlin.

378
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: I think they want Freeman, the guy from what is

379
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: a Notre Dame.

380
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: He's not Notre Dame.

381
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

382
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to get too hard into college coaches.

383
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: I know how protective vory about your college. But if

384
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 3: I'm the Raiders Fernando Mendoza, I'm throwing the book at

385
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: your head.

386
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: Coach.

387
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: I do not care what his price is. I'm getting

388
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: the coach in the quarterback. But for this game, yeah,

389
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: I just you know, if we could get four and

390
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: a half, if people are listening live, and you can

391
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: get four and a half now because it is dynamic

392
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: lines and the lines are moving obviously, we'd much rather

393
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: be there, But I'm not scared off not only having

394
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: the three and a half.

395
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: I think that's perfectly fine number.

396
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: We give the stats whenever it's three or above underdog

397
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: in this exact matchup at seventy one percent success rate

398
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: cover rate, it should say for the dog in the spot.

399
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: So give me Tomlin, give me this Steers plus three

400
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: and a half.

401
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Chad quick word from hard Rockback, because there's a couple

439
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: and Virginia, Washington at Philadelphia. Philadelphia is now four point favorite.

440
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: Which interesting to me about this game is that when

441
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: we thought Jalen Hurts might be starting, and he is not,

442
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: it is going to be Tanner McKee, the backup from Stanford.

443
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: The game was about seven, it's four. It was four

444
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: and a half when it was reposted with Tanner McKee,

445
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: so it's moved down. The Eagles love Tanner McKee. He

446
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: hasn't played, you know, in a game since Week eighteen

447
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: last year. You even intimated the other day on the

448
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: show on Thursday that as a fan and someone who's

449
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: paying close attention, you like Tanner McKee. So all of

450
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, it feels like the Eagles are in play

451
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: for us.

452
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's unfortunately like we said, it's tough for

453
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: us to move any guys out because we have such

454
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: good numbers. But I love the Eagles here for this

455
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: matchup just because it's a lot of the guys I

456
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: thought we're gonna sit aren't gonna sit.

457
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 2: Right.

458
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 3: They're playing a lot of people because they have to

459
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: because of injuries, and you know, key starters on the

460
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: defense and on the offense. You know Tanner, we talked

461
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: a little bit about it. I think he would be

462
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 3: one of the thirty two stars in this league. I

463
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: just think everything about him reminds me of Nick Foles.

464
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: He's just this really tall, strong, deep ball thrower and

465
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: he's really tough to take down the pocket on the

466
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: flip side of Washington, I thought it was gonna Marryota.

467
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: That's why I think the number kind of fluctuated where

468
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: it was so low as it was, and now it's

469
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: come out that he's not gonna play.

470
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be Josh Johnson here. So yeah, it's it's number.

471
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: It's coming up. Like you can get the four right

472
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: now at hard Rock.

473
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: Every other book is four and a half, and a

474
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 3: couple books have already moved the five.

475
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: So it's just another line on betting.

476
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 3: I like the Eagles here, like this matchup, and if

477
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: this is, you know, a close game heading into the fourth,

478
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: you know, I think that favors this Eagles team. And

479
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: in many ways, I just think defensively, when you have

480
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: Vic Cole in these plays, you could turn up to

481
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: another level. And like I said, Brainer Graham's playing like

482
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: a lot of vets are still playing for this Eagles team,

483
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: especially on the defensive side. They just don't have enough

484
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: bodies to fill in. So yeah, give me. Give me

485
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 3: Eagles team against the Washington that's literally playing for nothing.

486
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: They've had their backs packed for two months now, I

487
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: mean just total total loss season and I just have

488
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 3: a hard time thinking the air and get up for

489
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 3: this game.

490
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants. This number is

491
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: three and a half in a lot of places, but

492
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: it's down to three at hard Rock. We know the

493
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to be going all out. It's a

494
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: chance to end the season completely mediocre. But Dak has

495
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: been playing great. Pickens is playing for a new contract.

496
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: They've got no reason to sit people. Their defense is

497
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: bad no matter who they play. The Giants, there's real

498
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: repercussions if they win this game, because they can drop

499
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: from second overall pick to as low as seventh depending

500
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: on what else happens in the league today. If you're

501
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, there's zero incentive to put a team on

502
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: the field today, and the Cowboys have all the incentive

503
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: in the world to want to end the season strong

504
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: and feel like they have something to build on for

505
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: next year. We talked about the Cowboys on Thursday. We

506
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: talked about liking the Cowboys. We can't see why the

507
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: money is coming in on the Giants. We both feel

508
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: like we're missing something. In the seventy two hours since

509
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: we did the show on Thursday. What are we missing

510
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: because the money is still coming into the Giants.

511
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so glad you put it in the contest though,

512
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: just because it's just this is Seattle Fort Niners over again.

513
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: The pros I talked to, they're all on the opposite

514
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: side of me. I don't know what side you were

515
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: on for this one, but I like the Cowboys. Well, yeah,

516
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: I think we're definitely missing something because it's been like

517
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: you just said, it's been bet down all the way

518
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: to three. Yeah, book down, Like every book now is

519
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: popping three this morning. So really respect the money it's

520
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: coming to the Giants because right now it's all the money,

521
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 3: all the tickets are on the Cowboys, and it's just i'matchina.

522
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: I don't get because the Cowboys have just owned the

523
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: Giants in this division. I mean just going through even

524
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: their last five six games. I think the last game

525
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: they played this season was in September and it was

526
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: that crazy Russ game, and if you remember it, Russ

527
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: put up thirty seven points and the Cowboys won forty

528
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: to thirty seven.

529
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: That's right.

530
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: I like a seventy yard field goal by Audbury.

531
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: Last year, Cowboys beat him twenty seven to twenty, twenty

532
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 3: to fifteen. Two years ago they beat him forty nine

533
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: to seventeen and forty to nothing. So they just tend

534
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: to dominate and beat beat up the Giants team. And

535
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, like you said, it's I'm completely blind

536
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: spot to this game. I just don't know what people

537
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 3: are seeing. Where I look at the secondary of the Giants.

538
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: It's like this should be a field day for Dak,

539
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: like he should just be passing against air. Offensively, like

540
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: I said, they struggle against running quarterbacks. Maybe that's what

541
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 3: they're hanging their heat on Dart, keeping him in this game.

542
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: He's been playing well since he's come back from the injury. Yeah,

543
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: I just totally totally missing here. So I'm with Chad.

544
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be with the public. I'm gonna take the

545
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 3: three on the Cowboys now because I think that's such

546
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: a key number. But my God, is that this is crazy?

547
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: It's been bet down this.

548
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: Much, just Y. I don't know, like you said, what.

549
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: They're expecting professional wise of this Giants team, but maybe

550
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: they really do think Dak Will will falter here and

551
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart will keep this one close.

552
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: All right? So right now our official five New Orleans

553
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: plus three and a half, Cincinnati minus seven and a half,

554
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Detroit plus three and a half, Rams minus seven and

555
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: a half, and Steelers plus three and a half. If

556
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: we decide to make a change, we're gonna have to

557
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna lose the Rams number. So we're really gonna

558
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: have to put two games in because we're not gonna

559
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: take the Rams at thirteen and a half. So if

560
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: we want to get rid of the Saints, if we

561
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: want to get rid of the Lions, we really got

562
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: to figure out, all right, there's multiple games we're going

563
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: to have to change out, do you know what I mean?

564
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

565
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: And want to be for the Eagles and the Cowboys,

566
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: do you know what?

567
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: Like that's the thing. I'm not not too crazy about

568
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: them either.

569
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm not loving changing out what we have or the

570
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: options that are currently available.

571
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: I know that it right. We have what one good

572
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 3: line on the Rams. The rest are kind of what

573
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: they are, So I.

574
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: Don't mind the Bengals line, and like I don't mind

575
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers line at all. To me, the biggest fears

576
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: are the Saints and the Lions.

577
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: Which is fair. Yeah, I would say that the only

578
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: worries me is honestly the Saints.

579
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: But I like our five, all right, final five once

580
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: again Saints plus three and a half, Cincinnati Bengals minus

581
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: seven and a half, Detroit Lions plus three and a half,

582
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: Rams minus seven and a half. It's now with thirteen

583
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: dynamic lines. We put these picks in earlier in the

584
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: week just to lock some things in, and we got

585
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers tonight in the game to decide it all.

586
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: For the AFC North plus three and a half. This
