1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to betting pros. It's time to play 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: sho our bets. It is Meet Joey p Joe Pie's 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: a Pia and this is BP NFL. We've only got 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 1: one line to look ahead to this week because it's 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, that's right, and the two happiest boys 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: ever meet and Andrew Erickson because our Patriots are in 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl again. I know. Please don't turn it off. 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: Please don't turn off the show. Don't worry. We're gonna 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: break it all down for you because we're gonna put 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: all of the homely stuff away, no home or nonsense, 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: none of that. It's gonna be just what we think 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: about the game and really honest because we're here to 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: make money. That's what we want to do. And if 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: it happens to be with the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: there's a reason behind these takes. So we're gonna get 16 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: into all of that here before we do. Andrew Erickson 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: certainly a game I think in the AFC where it 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: was managed very well, where in the second half, wearing 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: white jerseys in the snow with the wind whipping around, 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: it was let's not lose this game and let Jared 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: Stidam make some mistakes and that's what happened. It was 22 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: very conservative, but it was enough. Denver Broncos defense is elite, 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: just like the Texans defense is elite, but the Patriots 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: defense does not get enough credit every single week. I'm 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: gonna talk more about that. What would your takeaway from 26 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game, and then we'll get to the 27 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: NFC one two. 28 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: I love the last call they had on that third 29 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: down conversion to ice the game, where apparently only Drake 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: May knew that he was going to take the ball himself. 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: As I'm watching this game play, I'm thinking, right, was 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: mcgamee was gonna call here? 33 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: Right? 34 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 2: Like? They got to keep the ball on the ground, 35 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: they got to kill the clock. And then I'm like, 36 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: what it is, Drake May? They gonna let him throw 37 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: and then of course they do the option where he 38 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: could throw if he wants to. It's a bootleg and 39 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: just a fantastic play call. Whether it was Drake May, 40 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: that was all Drake May or McDaniel's a total Drake May. 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: But don't tell that the other players that were gonna 42 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: do this. Just a great finish to that game. But 43 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: I do kind of question what that game would have 44 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: turned out to be if it was bon Nicks and 45 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: not Jared Stdn't. I don't think that really crushed. 46 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: Den work if Sean Payton hadn't had his head up 47 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: his rear end and kicked the field goal knowing that 48 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: points will be at a premium with the weather looming 49 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: and Jared's didn't playing quarterback. For you, what is Sean 50 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: Payton thinking about there? To me, that has been the 51 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: death knell of all these teams with this fourth down 52 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: nonsense instead of taking points we talked about in the 53 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: regular season, we talked about in the postseason, and it 54 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: happened again. And honestly, I'm hanging this one on Sean Payton. 55 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: Forget the what if bo Nicks. Sean Payton had a 56 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: chance here and he blew it because he didn't take 57 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: into account enough that Jared Sidham was playing quarterback and 58 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: the weather that was coming in the second half was 59 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: going to be such a problem. I have silenced Andrew 60 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Erickson after all these years, for the first time ever. 61 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: He doesn't have the meteorologists on speed dial. 62 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: Apparently, Oh, come on, you know that they know these 63 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: guys know who fish in the locker room. They know 64 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: what goes they know exactly what's going on at all times, 65 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: what they have to prepare for. 66 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: But you have to remember, if Sean Payton's the offensive guy, right, 67 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: he's offensive play callers. So like, that's one of the 68 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: big differences we saw both to play callers lose this 69 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: past weekend, and it goes down to well, I would 70 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: say Sean McVay too, like didn't have his best game 71 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: in terms of play calling, in terms of game management 72 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: making the right decisions. So I know that we've been 73 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: so focused, especially with this coaching carousels like gotta get 74 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: offensive guy, you gotta get offensive guy, Gotta Gevin's guy 75 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: who's playing the Super Bowl this week? 76 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: No coaches, right, right, let's talk about Mike McDaniel. Let's 77 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: talk about this other game. I have to say, after 78 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: the Tarik Woolen moment of the penalty and then immediately 79 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: they attacked him and Pookinakoa caught that touchdown, I thought 80 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: the worm might have turned in that game. And once 81 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: again you could boil it down to the special teams 82 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: of the Rams continue to be their undoing. They got 83 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: to fix it in the off season. And if you 84 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: take you know, if he catches that ball and secures 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: it like normal and you drive down the field or 86 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: even punt, you're not giving them that field position. It 87 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: turned into another seven and that's seven ended up being 88 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the difference in this game. Uh And to me, my 89 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: big takeaways, they got to figure out these special teams 90 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: in the offseason. 91 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: The Rams, yeah, I would agree, was there Achilles heel 92 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: all year long. And that's been where Seattle has been 93 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: so stand out when it comes to their special teams. 94 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: It honestly reminds you a lot of Rashi Shaheed and 95 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: his acquisition and even though he hasn't really made this 96 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: big impact, it reminds you of that Seattle team that 97 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. Who is 98 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: their big special teams acquisition. He basically did nothing offensively 99 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: all year. Percy Harvin, what do you do? He had 100 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: that one kickoff return to the Super Bowl ice the 101 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: game made it basically impossible for Never to come back. 102 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: That was like his only contribution in the entire year, 103 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: because I think he was hurt for most of the season. 104 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: But special teams, Yeah, that's a big thing that the 105 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: Patriots are gonna have to overcome again. Even in the 106 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: kicking game, right, you have a rookie kicker. That is 107 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: where the Patriots are going to bat with with one 108 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: of the more experienced kickers in the NFL with the 109 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: Seahawks kicker. So yeah, just another factor to kind of 110 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: analyze when we're breaking down the Super Bowl. 111 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was hurt for most of the season 112 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: and then high for the other part of the season, 113 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Percy Harvin pretty much. So you know, I want to 114 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: give some shout out and love to Sam Tartle too, 115 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: because peop are gonna whatever's coming next here in the show. 116 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: Before we even get to that. Sam Darnald's done a 117 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: great job this year. Seattle defense is terrific. They deserve 118 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: that one seed, they deserve that division, they deserve to 119 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: win that game. They earned all of those things. And 120 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's journey has been a rocky one and I 121 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: think it's great to see him go ahead and do 122 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: what he's done here. There's gonna be some butts coming. 123 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Just before we get to the butts, I want to 124 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: talk about our sponsor, and that is hard Rock Bet 125 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: before we get to the lines here of what the 126 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl looks like, because hard Rock Bet is here 127 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: for you.

I'm already into it. And the early 159 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: line is a very simple one, which is right now, 160 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: we've got basically a four and a half line. It's 161 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: some spots you can get five and a half. The 162 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: Patriots are obviously underdogs here.

I said, okay, 164 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: three and a half, and then I saw it four 165 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: and a half, and I said, Okay, that'll give it 166 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of a Maybe it starts to get 167 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: a little tighter here in the next two weeks as 168 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: people kind of dissect this game a little bit. What 169 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: was the number in your head, Andrew? Before we get 170 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: to our take on the four and a half, which 171 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: is kind of what we're seeing right now in most. 172 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: Markets, mimas closer to three three and a half points 173 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: for Seattle to be favorites. 174 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: It's three and a half for me to do England Patriots. 175 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: I know that I talked about on one of the 176 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: live teams to do with Perault where this was before 177 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: even the divisional round. I thought that if it was 178 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: gonna be Rams Patriots super Bowl, it would be Rams 179 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: four and a half point favorites. And Parl thought that 180 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: was a ridiculous line and thought that I would get 181 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: buried if I open up my Andrew Action Sports book. 182 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: It was taking taking Rams binds four and a half 183 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: because all the money would pour in on the Patriots. 184 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: So we did see these lines move a little bit 185 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: because I think we actually saw some Patriots like plus 186 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: five plus five and a half or the Seahawks. 187 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: They're still getting in a couple places I find. 188 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, still so I still think that's too big 189 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: of a line. It's kind of like no man's land 190 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: right where just kind of like when we zoom out 191 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: of this game, it's either going to be Patriots probably 192 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: win a close one by field goal or the Seahawks 193 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: destroy them, right, Because that's kind of think that would 194 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: be likely to income. So the fact that the line 195 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 2: is at four and a half, it's kind of middling, right, 196 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: And I guess that's how the line is created, like 197 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: based off the projection and the perspective, But realistically you're 198 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: better off just bidding Patriot's money line to win out right, 199 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: or Seahawks to win by more than a touchdown. Like 200 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 2: that's kind of the way that I view this particular matchum, 201 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: because it's kind of just how Seattle is played most 202 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: of the games. Either kill the other team or it's 203 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: a nail bier that's a field goal decided game. 204 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. Oh, so let's talk about it, 205 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: because I think what you're seeing here is, you know, 206 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: the Seattle Rams game is very exciting. A lot of narratives, 207 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: they are a lot of emotion. Yeah, the Cooper Cup 208 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: emotional moments in there to his old team. You have 209 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: the fact that these are division rivals the third time 210 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: they're playing this year. To me, oftentimes, when we have 211 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: a championship game like that, that's so emotional, it's a 212 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: bit of a letdown when you get to the super Bowl. Okay, 213 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of fact. Okay, some teams when 214 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: they let all hang out there and they feel like, well, 215 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: this was our super Bowl, Like we played the Rams, 216 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: we beat the Rams. Again, You're like, this is our 217 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: thing we did in our building. Big emotions, big highs, 218 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: and then you got to kind of travel and you know, 219 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: reset your brain a little bit. And I know it's closer, 220 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: and I'm sure Seattle fans will be traveling to Santa Clara. 221 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: It's easier trip than all those Patriot fans will have 222 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: to make. But despite the fact that the Seattle defense 223 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: is so good and they are, I want to also 224 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: talk for a moment about the Patriots defense. Now, the 225 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Patriots defense in the playoffs has given up twenty six 226 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: points total in three games. Last night, the Seattle Seahaws 227 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: gave up twenty seven in one. So let's just talk 228 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: about that for a second. The Patriots unit continues to 229 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: be disrespected, and when they are healthy, they are one 230 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: of the best in the league against the run. We 231 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: already know that statistically speaking, coverage wise, Jones, Gonzales, they 232 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: have some really good players in the secondary. We'll see 233 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: Spalane's health and see how that works out to fingers 234 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: crossed for that. But Andrew, you know, they played the 235 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: Houston Texans defense, I think the best unit in the league. 236 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: They beat them. I would say the Denver Broncos won 237 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: one a right there with them. They etched out a victory. 238 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: Call it whatever it is. You could say they don't 239 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: play anybody. But when you look at what Seattle in 240 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: terms of their schedule and who they've played now, they 241 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: beat the Houston Texans. Right that was Week seven. Let's 242 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: talk about after Week seven for the Seattle Seahawks. They 243 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: beat Washington okay, great, roll my eyes. They beat the 244 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. They lost to the Rams. Then they beat 245 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, big whoop. They beat the Minnesota Vikings 246 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: when they were having all kinds of problems at the 247 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: end of November. They could not see straight that team. 248 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: They shut them out. The Atlanta Falcons end up firing 249 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: their coach. They pounded on them. They beat the Indianapolis Colts, 250 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: a team that didn't have Daniel Jones at that point 251 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: in the season. In December, Los Angeles Rams, they won 252 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: in overtime. It took them in overtime to win in 253 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: their own building. Carolina Panthers, they are playoff team, a 254 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: playoff team with a losing record. Then the San Francisco 255 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, obviously they pummeled them twice end of 256 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: the season and then again in the playoffs. But you 257 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: know this narrative that Patriots haven't beaten anybody, you haven't 258 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: played anybody. I look at the Seahawks record, and the Seahawks, 259 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: just like the Patriots, you can only beat who's in 260 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: front of you. Color me unimpressed by the stretch running 261 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and all these glorious teams that they've beaten 262 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: up on. That's my take. Give me yours. 263 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: I think that you bring up some good points about 264 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: the Seahawks schedule, especially when you look at I think 265 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: that Rams and forty nine Ers, they you look at 266 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: those opponents and you look at those matchups and you think, 267 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: oh man, these were like really tough games, and again 268 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: the Rams Seahawks games went down to the wire, really 269 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 2: close games, all three of them, but the forty nine 270 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: Ers didn't have a defense the last two times the 271 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: Seahawks have played them, and the first time they played 272 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: a healthy forty nine Ers they lost. That was one 273 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: of the three losses that the Seahawks have had this season. 274 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: So I still want to give them credit for facing 275 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 2: the Rams and beating the Rams multiple times, like that 276 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: is no easy feet absolute because the Rams will be 277 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: also favorite against the Patriots if they were playing this 278 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: weekend and not the Seattles or Super Bowl weekend and 279 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 2: not the Seattle Seahawks. So I don't think that it's 280 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: wrong that the Seahawks are heavy favorites here. But yeah, 281 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: I think that maybe using that as the narrative to 282 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: fade the Patriots, oh they haven't played any to be 283 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: good again, that I don't think that is probably the 284 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: best reason to faith if you want to fade them, 285 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: like based on x's and o's and schematics, Like, I'm 286 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: all for hearing that type of argument, but not just oh, well, 287 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: who have they played? Well, they've played different opponents in 288 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 2: the playoffs because they weren't facing top tier defenses, but 289 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: then you've seen their defense step up and play significantly better. 290 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: Now it's a tough draw in Super Bowl because I 291 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: do believe that this is by far the best team 292 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 2: that the Patriots have faced all year is the Seattle Seahawks, 293 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: because they have a defense, and I think that their 294 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: offense is better than the Chargers, the Texans, and the 295 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: Broncos without Bonix. I don't know if you would disagree 296 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: with that. 297 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Agree with that? Yeah, I agree with that. Look, I 298 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: jumped on the four and a half. I think it 299 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: is an early value. I could see the shrinking over 300 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: time to three and a half, just as money comes in. 301 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: I think, now, if you know, if you're on the 302 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Patriots side, like I am on this one, like in 303 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: my head, I'm already getting an extra point. I think 304 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: Andrew is correct. I think it's either a Seattle blows 305 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: their doors off and it's an embarrassing loss, or it's 306 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: a grind out game in the Pats win. I don't 307 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: think there's a grind out game the Seattle wins. I 308 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: just don't think so. I also watched Sam Donald take 309 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: some big sacks in that game, some big sacks or 310 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: some big losses and some big moments, and I still 311 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: don't love that about Sam Donald's game. Okay, I just 312 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: want to put that out there. I also think this 313 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: Patriots defense matches up very well with them. You have 314 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: good coverage corners, they have Jackson Smith and Jig, but 315 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: you're not gonna stop them. But if you can slow 316 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: him down, and you can't let them run the football 317 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: because obviously the Patriots are so good, like there's Milton 318 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: Willions is so good upfront at group is so hungry 319 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: up front. That becomes a problem because now all of 320 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, Sam Donald's got to beat you with the 321 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: extra guys, and I'm not one hundred percent sold you 322 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: could do that. I also think this road warrior mentality, 323 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: the Warriors come out and play that whole thing. I 324 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: think that stuff is real. They are nine and oh, 325 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: the first team ever to be nine and oh on 326 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: the road in a season. They love being this road 327 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: underdog kind of mentality. I think they're gonna love being 328 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: underdogs by this amount. I think Varibel's gonna play into 329 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: it with these guys, and I think it's a distinct 330 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: advantage because there's such underdogs in this game. It reminds 331 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: me a lot of that first Super Bowl with the 332 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Patriots and the Tom Brady run there where everybody thought 333 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: the Rams are just gonna blow their doors off, and 334 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: they grind it and grind it in the very Mic 335 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: Rabel style kind of game, and they grind it out 336 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: of victory. And sure you could say that they have 337 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: more talent on the roster of the Seattle Seahawks. I'm 338 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: never gonna argue that, but I think everything falls in 339 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: the hands here for the Patriots to win this football game. Andrew, 340 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm oddly confident about it. I've been confident in the 341 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and I haven't been wrong. So 342 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep riding this wave where I actually, 343 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, I was more afraid of 344 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: the Rams of Matthew Stafford than I am of Sam 345 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Darnold and the Seahawks. 346 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. We were texting back and forth after 347 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: the Patriots won, who do we want them to face 348 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and both kind of agreed like, yeah, 349 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: we want we want Sam Donald, we want the Seattle Seahawks. 350 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: You think we match up better against them? And look, 351 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: Sam Donald balled out against the Rams like he put 352 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: the Ghosts to rest in that game because the Rams 353 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: had owned him. He had thrown he had thrown seven 354 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: interceptions in the last three games, and he was masterful, 355 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: even though he did take some big hits in that game. 356 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: But ultimately, when push comes a shove, like you said, 357 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: if you can get Christian Zalz to slow down JSN, 358 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: if you can neutralize Ken Walker in the run game 359 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: with his elite Pats run defense, and you put the 360 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: ball in Sam Donald's hands. Yes, he showed last week 361 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: I can win those games, but we've also seen Sam 362 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: Donald lose those games. And look, give him all the credit. 363 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: This would be, you know, a full circle moment with 364 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: Sam Donald where it's the team that he sees Ghosts 365 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: against in twenty nineteen or whatever year was that, the 366 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: New York Jets is the team that he beats in 367 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Then he deserves that win. And I'll 368 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: be happy for Sam Donald. But that's if and butts right, 369 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: if he can actually do that and execute like he 370 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: did in the NFC Championship game, So we'll see. I 371 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: think the Patriots defense is better than the Rams defense 372 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: overall earlier. 373 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: Where they're comense, they're a better unit, and they don't 374 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: have the special teams issues that the Rams have either. 375 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say Marcus Jones is an asset in 376 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: terms of how he's abailble to he use them as 377 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: a punt returner, So it's not just Shaheed that can 378 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: kind of change short fields make up big explosive plays. 379 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: And the other thing too, that thought was kind of interesting. 380 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,239 Speaker 2: We look at super Bowl experience, right, So the Patriots, 381 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: from at least what I was looking at, they have 382 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: more guys and coaches that have super Bowl experience. Milton 383 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: Williams played in the Super Bowl last year for the 384 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles won. Carlton Davis with the Buccaneers, He's played 385 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: in Super Bowl four. He's super Bowl champion. Mike Rabel, 386 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels, Mac Collins even played in a Super Bowl 387 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Eagles. Now wasn't a significant role, but 388 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: still you have a bunch of guys on both coaching 389 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: defense offense that have some spare experience, whereas with the 390 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: Seahawks it's just like Cooper cup and Cam Akers that 391 00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: that I was kind of looking at, and those guys 392 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: were with Rams previously, so obviously a little bit there 393 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: but I don't know if. 394 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: Coaches one stands out to me. Yeah that that Yeah, 395 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: it's the coaching experience in that Super Bowl. 396 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: And Daniels knows how to call Super Bowl like he's 397 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: called bad ones, he's called good one like he's been. 398 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that matters. I think how you 399 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: prepare in the next two weeks. It's very weird, and 400 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, the media days and all this stuff, like 401 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot. It's a lot of family stuff. 402 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: It's a lot of media stuff and the preparation for 403 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: the game. Look, and I know people are gonna watch 404 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: it and say, oh, these two homers for the Patriots, 405 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: And you can say whatever you want. I don't care. 406 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: I want to win money, okay. And I had bet 407 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: on the Patriots already at the beginning of this process 408 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl, and I bet on 409 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: the Rams to go to the super Bowl. And I 410 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: was wrong about the Rams. I feared the Rams more 411 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: than I feared the Seattle Seahawks for again a myriad 412 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: of reasons. Because Matthew Stafford, when you watched him play yesterday, 413 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: he was playing inspired foot like he just you know, 414 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, I just thought would be this guy that 415 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: would go out here with the bang. He's not there. 416 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: I also fear Sean McVay, another guy who has coached 417 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl. Right, So that's another concern for me. 418 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: Won a Super Bowl, lost a Super Bowl. He knows 419 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: what to do and what not to do, right, So 420 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: to me, that does matter. And I think it's gonna 421 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: be an I think it's gonna be an entertaining game, 422 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: especially if you like some defense, and I like some defense. 423 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. Let's take a look at the 424 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: money line here. You're getting plus two hundred in some 425 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: markets already on the Pats. Again, I like the Pats 426 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: with the points. If you get five and a half, 427 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: great four and a half, Okay, cool, I would do 428 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: it now, Pats on the money line. I think the 429 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: best bet is also you get almost three to one 430 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: in some markets for or two and a half to 431 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: one for Drake May's Super Bowl MVP. Because if you 432 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: think the Patriots are gonna win, I'm hard pressed to 433 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: think anybody else's MVP is igh Strake May. It's just 434 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: that weird things happen. I don't think it would be that. 435 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: I just don't think it's gonna be a defensive player. 436 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be Stephan Diggs. I mean, 437 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: it's just an oddity. It's hard to get away for 438 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback the total though, Andrew, you're getting forty five 439 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: and a half for the over, forty six and a 440 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: half for the under. I'm not there yet on this one. 441 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: If I had to, I would lean slightly towards the 442 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: over here, but I am just straight up on the 443 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: side of this year with the points. Where are you 444 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: at with the over under? 445 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 2: I think that the line is really sharp because I 446 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: can kind of see a couple of different angles. I 447 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: do know that we'll probably see this line go up, 448 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 2: just because as more casual betters get in when the 449 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: Super Bowls approaching, they're not gonna blink twice to bet 450 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: the over on the total of the game. So if 451 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: you're looking to bet the under like me, I think 452 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: that you probably want to wait for this line to move. 453 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 2: I could go either way with it right now if 454 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: there's something I want to dive a little bit deeper into. 455 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: But if the Patriots defense shows out, then it's a 456 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: pretty easy case to say, hey, this will be a 457 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 2: game that underperforms. We're not playing in dome conditions, so 458 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 2: that's something to keep in mind too. We are outdoors 459 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: at Santa Clara, so I know Weather's played a lot 460 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: of big roles. They're hoping that that doesn't play a role, 461 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: but it can rain, like we don't know what the 462 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 2: weather's gonna be like two weeks out, so obviously getting 463 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: some exposure to the under could could potentially be beneficial. 464 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 2: I do want to say one last thing too, when 465 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: it comes to just the recency bias of the Seattle Seahawks, 466 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: Mike McDonald is eight to oher in rematches, so when 467 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: if he's gotten a second chance at an opponent, especially 468 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 2: with these rematches against the Rams, against the forty nine ers, 469 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 2: against the Cardinals, it's like they've just dominated those games. 470 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: So the fact that this is the first time he's 471 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 2: facing the Patriot yet maybe you don't see much as 472 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: much domination. Again, remember he went to the Seahawks, hired 473 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: him because they knew he could beat Shanahan's offense, which 474 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: is a stem of Sean mcvay's offense, which I don't 475 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: really see it the same way with Josh mcganiel's offense. 476 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 2: So that's something to also keep in mind that, yes, 477 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: they are Juggernaut because they've been He's been selected to 478 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: beat those teams in his division. Now you're not in 479 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 2: the division anymore, you're not in the conference anymore. You're 480 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: facing a totally different offensive with a second year quarterback 481 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: with mobility. It's a different draw for the Seahawks defense. 482 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: So that's something I'm really interested to see. So I 483 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: agree with you. I think that on a value perspective, Look, 484 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: Pat's money line is plus two hundred. Seahawks win by 485 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 2: more than a touchdown is plus one twenty. So just 486 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 2: making from a value proposition, how I see this game 487 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: playing out, you get the most bang for your bucketing, 488 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: take Patriots on the money line. 489 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: I like it. I think you take Pats on the 490 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: money line. If someplaces like your parlay at two where 491 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: you can get Drake May his MVP, I like that 492 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: as well. I think it's gonna be a good game. 493 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: And again I feel like I'm being negative about the Seahawks. 494 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm not what I'm trying to be, and I think 495 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: what Andrew's trying to be is a little realistic because 496 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: we see them keep beating up on the Rams and 497 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: we're super impressed, and we should be. The Rams are 498 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: a good football team, but the Rams are not perfect. 499 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: The Rams continue to let teams hang around. The Rams 500 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: barely got through the Panthers. They barely escaped Chicago with 501 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: the w They let teams hang around. And when you 502 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: have bad special teams and you have some bad moments there, 503 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna eventually turn into bad scenarios for your defense. 504 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised by what happened at all, But 505 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: looking at the Seattle schedule, I'm not looking at that way. 506 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: They had these monumental victories, and don't give me the 507 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Don't give me the forty nine ers. 508 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers is not impressive. The forty nine 509 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: ers also a team that had one of the easiest 510 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: schedules in football, and they faced a real defense that 511 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: was built to stop them, and they kicked the crap 512 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: out of them twice in the last month. So don't 513 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: give me the forty nine ers. Ton of injuries, to 514 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: a ton of issues, lots of problems though George Kittle 515 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: in that last game, just a lot of problems. Okay, 516 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: So again, you can only beat who they put in 517 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: front of you, but I think this underdog and error 518 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: for the Patriots is very dangerous. I also don't think 519 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: that Mike Rabel is gonna lose to a ginger quarterback. 520 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: Let's just put that out there. You think he's gonna 521 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: lose to a ginger Mike Crable. There's certain pride you 522 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: have to have. You can't lose to a ginger quarterback. Look, 523 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold said, a great job. My good friend put 524 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: it in perspective. He's a Jets fan. He had to 525 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: me the social media post of the weekend, which is 526 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, I could not be more miserable. 527 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: I have to watch Sam Donald play against the Patriots 528 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl, he said, and I'm rooting for 529 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: the Asteroid. That's what he said. That says it all. 530 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: That says it all. So obviously we're gonna have a 531 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: lot of content here in the next two weeks.
