Speaker 1: On today's episode, We've got our plant the Flag game

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: for week seven, a breakdown of the top storylines. We

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: have a fired head coach in the NFL, and of

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: course the main event Evan Abrams and his Tuesday primer.

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: But before we get to the important stuff, guys, how

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: do we feel about uncrustables as adult snacks? I crushed

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: one of these before the episode, feeling great. I basically

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: eat like a five year old because I just eat

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: whatever my kid eats when I'm out the door. And

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: as you can see, not at the house today. Is

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: this an acceptable adult snack?

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't miss.

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't.

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: I don't mess with encrust but my wife likes them.

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: Who we're on vacations, she always has them. Uh. But no,

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: I can't say. I don't think I've ever had one. Yeah,

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: I've never had an uncrustables like peanut butter and jelly.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: Right, it's literally a peanut butter and jelly. I don't

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: eat them because I'm way too like holistic, healthy hippie

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: stuff when I'm not like filming for a restaurant. But

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: if they're good enough for the NFL, they're good enough

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: for the Favorites podcast.

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: Is there any Is it just peanut butter.

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: And jelly, strawberry and I think they have a cinnamon

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: sugar one.

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are starting to add a bunch. They got

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: a honeywell jella. I think so there's some uh, there's

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: some different options out there. But yeah. The thing is

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: is that you have you do have to layer in

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: some patience because it stays in the freezer and then

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: you have to It's not like you pop it in

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the microwave. You have to wait until that thing falls out.

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: David Paint, our producer, says, butter it and fry it you.

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Eric Ryot, that sounds so good, David, Wow, genius.

39
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: I don't eat those things. But next time I go

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: to Costco, I might buy the like no sugar added,

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: like for like the gluten free weird kids. I might try,

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: hey do having my Costco.

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: No, we had no show on Sunday night, we had

44
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot to bemoan a lot to celebrate. Would have

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: been kind of all over the place, but you two

46
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: had eventful weekend. So Kendra, catch me up before we

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: get into the nitty gritty.

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: I came home this weekend for the Jaguars game. I

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: told you guys they were gonna lose. I knew that

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: that's exactly the way that game was going to go.

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: It was such a nice day though, and I ate

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: sadness tailgate hot dogs, So I guess it was a

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: fine weekend. I just that went exactly how I thought

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: it would. But it was fine. I was glad to

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: be home, took my mom to dinner. It's all good.

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Stuck you what do I you? You had a big

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: baby shower.

58
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a complete degenerate weekend. I'd family and

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: friends in town. And because our baby showers are just

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 3: a party at the bar.

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: I'm always bar for nfl uh from noon until close,

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: but Saturday people come in. So I went out Saturday

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: and then Sunday, so it was.

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: You you can definitely hear it in the.

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: Town well, and then also the last two nights and

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: I have to catch up on everything that happened. And

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: so I also haven't slept the last two nights after that,

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: so uh, well that's a lot I should I did.

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: I did sleep Sunday night, but I didn't sleep last night.

71
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was definitely hurt my wing.

72
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: But you need a ginger ale and a til at all.

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: How many times I.

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Don't get I don't get bad hangovers, especially.

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Because you don't sleep. You can't have a hangover unless

76
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: you fall asleep.

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: But like I've always always been good about that, like

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: my everyone else in my family, like my brother will

79
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: when if he drinks, will be down for like three days,

80
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: but I don't do it. Yeah, so I'm actually good

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: on that front. But obviously it gets uh gets harder

82
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: with age.

83
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: But you have a trick, a trick for us hangover types.

84
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: I do just I tak a town all. You took

85
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: a town all before you go to sleep. I don't

86
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: even know if it's is that that's not maybe not

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: medical advice or you're not supposed.

88
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: To do that.

89
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: But but the main thing is you mixing waters. I

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: always tell people mixing water like as a joke, but

91
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: I actually do mix in some waters. And yeah, and

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: the other thing is I always tell people this that

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: like people will always wake up wouldn't have a hangover. Though,

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: this is just a it's a natural reaction, natural reaction

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: in your body to have anxiety. But I always try

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: to tell people, like, no one is thinking about you,

97
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: no one is thinking about what you said or did.

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: And try to think about ten years ago when you

99
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: drank and you were like, oh my god, I'm horrified,

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: but you don't even remember it. Try to do it

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: about a year ago. So if anyone ever has like those,

102
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: just calm down. It goes away. It's just a natural reaction.

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, eat a breakfast in the morning. I mean,

104
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: it's just the most generic advice. But I make sure

105
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: that I do mix in some waters and then pop

106
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: an advill.

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: And just dying over here. I didn't know we were

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna get anxiety advice. I think that's even more important

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: than the hangover itself.

110
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: I love Stucky. I ride from Stucky. I swear to God.

111
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: When we first like got paired together, I was like,

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how I'm gonna feel about this. I

113
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: live and die for this. This is so funny.

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: You didn't know you were gonna think, Wow.

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm just being honest. Yeah, I'm scared of men.

116
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Well hopefully, hopefully we don't scare your hero on this podcast.

117
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Let's get thro our main dish. I want to start

118
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: by apologizing, I'm sorry. I am truly sorry. This is

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: my own version of a Tim Tebow's speech. I promise

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: that for the rest of this season, you will never

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: see another podcast host work as hard as I will

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: work to get these picks right. Saints plus three and

123
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: a half the only leg of our two Kings and

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: a Queen parlay to not come home. And it pains

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: me because otherwise I had a very good Sunday, but

126
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: that would have been the whipped cream and the cherry

127
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: on top, and and that's that's ultimately what we drive

128
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: towards throughout the week on this podcast. And and I

129
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: let us down, So hand up on that one.

130
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: Well, as long as you continue to do some head

131
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 3: to head bets with me and pay them off, I'm

132
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm okay with you.

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: With Thankfully we did not have a bet on the

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Saints because I would have lost that

135
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: head to head. Also, because Kendra was on the New

136
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: England Patriots last night, I was on Atlanta's I think

137
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: a few of us were on this podcast. Stucky's been

138
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: a big Falcons guy for the last couple of weeks.

139
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: The defense shows up big number one in d v

140
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: o A entering Monday night. I can't imagine that that

141
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: slipped after that performance, Stucky, this has been your squad

142
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: for the last few weeks. So are you I would

143
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: assume that at this point you're buying into what they're producing.

144
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, their defense is significantly improved, mainly because

145
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: some of the rook the rookies that they brought in, uh,

146
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: but they're so they're able to generate some pressure. But

147
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: one of the they're one of the heaviest blitz teams

148
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: in the NFL. And if you look back, I've talked

149
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: about this a bunch on this podcast and on the

150
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: Action Network podcast with Chris Raybond that you're never really

151
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: going to stop Josh Allen, But if you look back

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: historically at his numbers, the best way to contain him

153
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: and slow him down is he play zone and you

154
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: blitz a lot. And they blitzed fifty six percent of

155
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: the time last which is a super high rate. It's

156
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: the highest the ballot has seen in any game in

157
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: four years because you just can't. You saw it in

158
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: the first touchdown and then they learned quickly, like they

159
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: just sat back in his zone. They didn't bring any

160
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: extra pressure. And then if you give Valent time, he's

161
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: either going to find a running lane or he's gonna

162
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: find someone open. And but if you bring pressure, uh,

163
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: you can you can throw that offense off. So and

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: the Bills defense right now has major issues. I mean

165
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: that's safety. Their rundy is is bad, like it's it's

166
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: they're not playing that well. I mean, he looked back

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: the past couple of weeks that they were in a

168
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: dog play with the Dolphins at home in the Saints

169
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: they lose his touchdown plus favorites against the Patriots, So yeah,

170
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: they need to get healthy too. So Dubibie came at

171
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: the right time. But yeah, I'm super bullish on this

172
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 3: Falcons team. The offense is great, keep if their offensive

173
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 3: line is really it was one of the best in

174
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: the NFL. But they did lose Jake Matthews for that

175
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: second half, and then they already lost Caleb McGarry the

176
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: right tackle, So that could be something to keep in

177
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: mind with Jeon Robinson is argue, maybe the best back

178
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: in the NFL right now, and you know they have

179
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: the weapons on the outside, and it's with this defense.

180
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: Like before it was the defense can never It would

181
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: just let them down right. There was nothing the defense

182
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: could do because they couldn't generate any pressure. That's one

183
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 3: of the biggest differences this year. They actually can get

184
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: pressure and they're a little bit more talented on that

185
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: side of the ball. So if Penix continues to progress,

186
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: it's definitely a dangerous team.

187
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: Falcons plus two and a half over on DraftKings against

188
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers Sunday Night Football, back to back

189
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: primetime games. We usually like to sell high on these

190
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: teams that everybody starts to buy into off of prime time.

191
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers are so banged up right now.

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: They just lost Fred Warner. They're a tough team to

193
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: back at this point. Kendra, anything percolating as far as

194
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: that game goes or takeaways from Monday Night Foot, I'll

195
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: let you take that in whatever direction you want.

196
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway from Monday Night Football is that I

197
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: can't do the doubleheaders anymore. I think I complain about

198
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: this every time that it happens it much. It's not

199
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: even that because when we're sitting here watching red Zone

200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: and you know, you've got your couple different screens, you're

201
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: spreading the games out whatever. It's all fine. It's just

202
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: I want them to add more to the four o'clock slate,

203
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 2: or you know, take a couple games out of the

204
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: one o'clock, add more to the four o'clock, give us

205
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: the traditional primetime football. I've been watching way too many

206
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: screens throughout the day. By the time that rolls around,

207
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: when it's commercial time, I want to go get a

208
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: drink of water. I want to go take a pee,

209
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: I want to do whatever. By the time Monday night

210
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: rolls around, I don't want to have to be flipping

211
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: between the two have the multi view up. I want

212
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: to watch one game. That being said, the Falcons impressed me.

213
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: I think I'm more so just so shocked that the

214
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: Bills just sucked. I think that they're a bad team.

215
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: I think that they might be a bad team. It's

216
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: basically Josh Allen, a couple players on defense, and then

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: question mark of who is going to show up outside

218
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: of the tight ends every single week Bears commanders. I

219
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: think the Bears are kind of good. Commanders are pretty

220
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: much who I thought they would be. Expected a sophomore

221
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: slump from this team just in general. Knew that dan

222
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: Quinn probably would just have like a fall from grace,

223
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: But I just my biggest takeaway from Monday Night Football

224
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: is that I'm sick of the double headers and I

225
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: can't do it anymore.

226
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: My problem with the doubleheaders is that, uh, like, there's

227
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 3: there's so many bad teams in the NFL that when

228
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: you do these double headers, you're it. It just makes

229
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: one of the Sunday windows so much worse. Like last

230
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: week at the four o'clock window was three games and

231
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: it was Bengals Bengals, Packers, Titans, Raiders, and then the

232
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: Niners Bucks. It was an awful window. Terrible this week

233
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 3: because you have I mean you're you have and Lock.

234
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: You throw a London game in there there too, which

235
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: is one of the better games, the weekend Rams Jags,

236
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: and then you have two the Sunday night games, the

237
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: dcent one Falcons Niners, and your Monday Night game is

238
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: Bucks Lines and Texan Seahawks. Like those are some of

239
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: the better games on the slate. So the one o'clock

240
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: slate this week is Raiders, Chiefs, Dolphins, Browns, Patriots, Titans, Panthers, Jets, Saints, Bears,

241
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: and Eagles Vikings. Like Eagles Vikings is the only the

242
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: only teams that are above five hundred that are playing

243
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: each other. And uh, I don't know. I mean, like

244
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: watching this Eagles offense and if it's J. J. McCarthy

245
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: or Carson Wentz, it's not like that's the must see TV. So,

246
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: like you have these windows now Sundays that are getting

247
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 3: that are just a little worse than they maybe should

248
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: be because we're agreed to the NFL and they meet,

249
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: they want their their two Monday night games. So that's that. Like,

250
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: that's my biggest beef with it too, is that you

251
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: were losing like a good game or two on on

252
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: Sunday at one or four.

253
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: I think it's compounded by the fact that you have

254
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: a London game as well, so the Witch when you

255
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: have double I think they need. That's probably the move

256
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: that should be made is pick one, either have the

257
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Sunday morning game and then one Monday night game or

258
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: two Monday night games, no early Sunday game.

259
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: I think myself, right, it's not like Week one one,

260
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: where I get I get it if you want to

261
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: do a week one, but it is what it is.

262
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: There's lines and we will try to bet on them

263
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: and find winners. But yeah, it was a good weekend

264
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: betting for me. But who cares. We're on to Week seven.

265
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Amen to that. Baker Mayfield now emerging as a good

266
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: MVP a bet plus four fifty. He's still third shortest

267
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: odds in the market thirty three to one though at

268
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, so you've missed that window entirely, Kendra,

269
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: Is he your MVP right now?

270
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: I feel like yeah, I mean it's hard to argue

271
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: against him. They've had a lot of injuries and they

272
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: just seem to keep finding ways to get it done.

273
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: I think with the status of a booger right now,

274
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: could potentially mess up this offense, but they have tape

275
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: on him now, so like that doesn't even really matter

276
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 2: to me that much. As far as just what we've

277
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: seen so far this season, I don't really know how

278
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: you argue against the odds, So yeah, yeah, I guess.

279
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 4: So.

280
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamie Ardall was all over it. She was all

281
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: over Baker Mayfield to start the season, So kudos to.

282
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Her stuck here? Are you surprised that he's still behind

283
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: Alan and Mahomes? That was as of yesterday. I would

284
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: actually assume I'm going to check the most up the

285
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: date odds right now as we speak, but he still is.

286
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: He's still behind Mahomes and Allen. I don't quite get

287
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: that with how he's performed.

288
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that he's If the season

289
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: ended today, he would win it. He would be my MVP.

290
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: I mean, think about all the game, the clutch moments

291
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: he's had too, all the final minute drives. He's pushing

292
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: the ball down the field and doing it with success.

293
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: And then consider all the injuries at the offense is too,

294
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: like the offensive line, all the receivers now, Bucky Irving,

295
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: and he's still continuing to play at a super high

296
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: level now. And the good thing is that the defense

297
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: isn't great, which means like if the Bucks are gonna

298
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: keep winning, they're gonna have to keep putting up points,

299
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: which means he's gonna keep putting up numbers. I could see.

300
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: I could see the case for Mahomes though. I mean

301
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: that offense the last two weeks has looked really good.

302
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: You're gonna get Rashie Rice back this week, and like

303
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: he's throwing the ball down field again. Like his numbers,

304
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: his advanced metrics is a dot. Everything looks like it's

305
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: like twenty twenty two again. And now you're gonna get

306
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: Now you're gonna have a healthy set of weapons. And

307
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: the Chiefs I think are probably gonna get hot here

308
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: with their with their offense. I still think the defense

309
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: has some holes. So like Mahomes is gonna have to

310
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: put up some numbers, and like there were there have

311
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: been seasons where you could argue, like Mahomes is the

312
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: MVP of the league, right, and but he wasn't gonna

313
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: win it because just you would have either lamar around

314
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: putting up silly numbers. So if he just has a

315
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: really good year and then Baker falls off a little bit,

316
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: like there's you've got to remember this is like a

317
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: human award, right, Like it's not like just here's the

318
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: stats and here's what has to happen. There's a lot

319
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: of it is name recognition, but there's you know, there

320
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: might just be like, hey, let's get Mahomes his third

321
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: MVP if he has a really good year, because I

322
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: think he's what he's won in twenty eighteen and then

323
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, So that's probably the other.

324
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Name about Daniel Jones. Like, weirdly enough, if it wasn't Baker,

325
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: I would put Daniel Jones above Allen and Mahomes right now.

326
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: Peronly issue with Daniel Jones. But I think I'll try.

327
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: To what you said. I'm kidding.

328
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'd give it to Jonathan Taylor ahead

329
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: of Daniel Jones. That's my problem with DJ.

330
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're back by the way, Bijon should be in

331
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: the conversation at least like he's not going to win

332
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: it as.

333
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: A uh can't sustain it though I don't think yeah,

334
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: but like.

335
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: He's as of right now, I'm saying he should at

336
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 3: least be mentioned, like I mean he's two and thirty

337
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: eight scrimmage yards, yes, say the last game that he played,

338
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: I think he had two hundred and something.

339
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 2: Like Uh, Rico dowdellco Daddle. Yeah, conversation, we're Rico Donald

340
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: Truther podcast.

341
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: I do want to get to the slate. We've got

342
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: our plant the Flag game. I want to do a

343
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: Thursday night pick as well, since by Thursday's episode some

344
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: of that information can be outdated, so we want to

345
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: get something on the card early for that. But before

346
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: we move on from the headlines, the main dish, Briank

347
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: Callahan is out as the head coach of the Tennessee Titans. Stucky,

348
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: you were addicted to this team, linelast year they let

349
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: you down time and again, your hands off. I believe

350
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: you even went into therapy for this. Are the Titans

351
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: now biddable?

352
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 3: Possibly? I mean they're still really bad, but I mean

353
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: callaham was so bad that he would cost them multiple

354
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: times a game that and I think that was part

355
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: of the reason why the market could never catch up

356
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 3: to how bad Tennessee was. Their offensive line is now

357
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: healthy at least, but Calvin Ridley has now banged up

358
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 3: their defense as a couple of injuries on the edge.

359
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean they're a little bit more intriguing,

360
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: but it's still not a great team. But I uh, yeah,

361
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: they've been in bet jail. They're my one bet jail

362
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: team for the past couple of weeks.

363
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 2: One week stuck, he wasn't on them, he shot on

364
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: me and I took the Titans and they Cardinals.

365
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: Yes, but they were also they should have been now

366
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: twenty eight six in that game, so I wasn't too

367
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: upset that I didn't have them. I didn't have them

368
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: last week against the Raiders, so yeah, I might. I'm

369
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: a little more intrigued by them, is what I'll say

370
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: than I was before, because Callahan was, I mean, like

371
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 3: four and twenty against the spread, whatever it was is

372
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: beyond It's incomprehensible that you could be that in an

373
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: NFL market. So yeah, a little bit more intriguing, but

374
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: not a team. I'm like running, like knocking, knocking, deb

375
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 3: through doors to get my money down on.

376
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: But we doubted you, We doubted you, but I.

377
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Thought you'd be all the way back in kender Do

378
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: you want to say, Kendrick, do you want to save

379
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: your take on this for plant plant the flag? Or

380
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: do you want to let it fly now?

381
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: No, we can save it, okay.

382
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: The Favorites podcast has teamed up with DraftKings sportsbook, where

383
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: new customers can bet five dollars and get three hundred

Speaker 1: dollars back in bonus bets if your bet wins. And

385
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: that's not all. DraftKings is also giving away three months

386

Speaker 1: your bet wins plus three months of NBA League pass,

391
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: the crown is yours. Before we get to Thursday Night football, Stucky,

392
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: give us a Tuesday night bet in college football so

393
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: that we can keep the good fortune rolling. But I

394
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: want you to explain it to us in NFL terms

395
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: that we can understand.

396
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: FIU plus ten against Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky is sort

397
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 3: of like the Bucks. I guess they have a bunch

398
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 3: of really close wins this year against some bad teams

399
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: that also had injuries. I mean, this is a team

400
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: and some misleading finals. Like they've returned it onside kick

401
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: at the end of the game against Nevada, but they

402
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: were losing in the fourth quarter of that game. They

403
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: were losing in the fourth quarter against Missouri State. It

404
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: was not a very good team and lost their star

405
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: quarterback in the second half. So this team has just

406
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 3: been very very fortunate. Good offense, bad defense, and FIU

407
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 3: that is coming off a blowout law they look horrendous

408
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: at the UK company. If that's seventeen days off new staff,

409
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: I think that's beneficial to clean some things up. But

410
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: I just don't this Western talking team is. I don't

411
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: trust them to win by significant margin, so I think

412
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: it's a good time to fade them. So I'm taking

413
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: FIU and Keon Jenkins, who was their quarterback. So it's

414
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: as if like the Bucks would be, you know, ten

415
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 3: point favorites over.

416
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: Kind of like when they played the Jets.

417
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, similar to that's covered well.

418
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: If you're wondering out there, how can he how can

419
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: Stucky operate in that sleep? But why doesn't this guy

420
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: lay his head on his pillow at night? That explanation

421
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: is exactly why doesn't happen because he knows such things. Also,

422
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: Pitbull basically owns FIU for what it's worth. Soon Yeah,

423
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: Steelers Bengals. Steelers favor by five and a half on

424
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: Thursday night, totals sitting at forty two and a half.

425
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: The Steelers have won and covered three straight. The Bengals

426
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: covered on the road, much to my chagrin against Green Bay,

427
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: but they still have a negative eighty point differential. That's

428
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: number one or number thirty two. Rather in the NFL.

429
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Flacco has made their offense slightly better, But is it

430
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: enough to get you to the window? Stucky where you

431
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: at on Thursday night?

432
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: Maybe? I mean, my numbers say to play Cincy, so

433
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: I might get down there. I might get there. Small.

434
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: I generally hate Thursday night football, so don't I usually

435
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: don't bet it big Cherry Hendrickson that got banged up,

436
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: and like he is the only good defender on Cincinnati,

437
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: so that's noteworthy. We're doing this before any injury reports.

438
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: But Pittsburgh, I mean, Pittsburgh is a team that I

439
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: am looking to fade, like they've just coming up in

440
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 3: the next Maybe it's this week, maybe it's the next

441
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Because and the Steelers do this every year.

442
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: They get off to a hot start, then they fade

443
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 3: at some point. And this year, like they beat the

444
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 3: Jets Week one, the winless Jets, they should have lost

445
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: that game. Then you know, they lost by two touchdowns

446
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: at home to the Steelers. They did win in New England,

447
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 3: but New England had five turnovers. New England should have

448
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: won that game. And then they beat the Vikings and

449
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz in London, by three, and then they beat

450
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel in a horrendous spot last week, like right,

451
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: they were coming off of a bye, it was a

452
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback on the road after being overseas, and then

453
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: Brown's had a ton of injuries during that game. So yeah,

454
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 3: I think the Steelers a very fraudulent four and one,

455
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 3: although their defense is getting healthier, but still like now

456
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: they're length five and a half on the road again

457
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 3: since he maybe Flacco now has a little bit more

458
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: timeouts a short week, which is in an ideal, But

459
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: to remember, this is a guy that came in to

460
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: the offense and to the whole operation, like in the

461
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 3: middle of the week last week, like the whole new

462
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: playbook called new Players. So I think as time goes on,

463
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna get a little more comfortable. He's still not great,

464
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: he's still you know, old, but it's better than what

465
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: Jake Browning was putting out there. So yeah, from a

466
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 3: numbers perspective, this is a since he played for me

467
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: a couple of injuries. I want to watch probably have

468
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: it small, but I would like to get a six

469
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 3: at this I don't know if we'll get it, though.

470
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Kendrew you in on it.

471
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: I am probably on the under in this game, if anything,

472
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: divisional game. I think both the Steelers have once eat

473
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: like you said, fraudulent four and one fraudulent for in one.

474
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't believe in that offense as much as they

475
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: showed a like decent amount of spark earlier or two

476
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: days ago on Sunday. I just I can't get behind

477
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: them being like a juggernaut of an offense. The ben

478
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: still lots of questions. I think once Joe Flacco probably

479
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: has the opportunity to learn the playbook more, it might

480
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: look a little bit better. More so just that it's

481
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 2: a divisional game to me, and you have two seventy

482
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 2: five year old men playing quarterback, so love those love.

483
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: The that fields. The oldest quarterback matchup.

484
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: It could be.

485
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: Gotta be, yeah, gotta be.

486
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 3: It could have been a brady.

487
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: On on the Flacco front. I mean, how many times

488
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: in his career now has he played against the Steelers,

489
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he's played for every team in

490
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: the AFC North except for Pittsburgh, so he's definitely accustomed

491
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: to this matchup as far as the short week goes.

492
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: And still not having a lot of time to really

493
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: acclimate himself. This is about the best matchup he could

494
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: ask for in terms of familiarity.

495
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't think about that,

496
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: but yeah.

497
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 3: That works both ways though too right, I mean Tom

498
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: because Tomlin has been there forever. Oh, Brady was forty

499
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: three and Breeze it was forty two and twenty one.

500
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: That's the oldest ever.

501
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so I am. I'm not betting this personally, and

502
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much with you guys as far as the

503
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: Steelers are frauds, but I placed a bet on them

504
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl this morning. Hear me out.

505
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: Hear me out. Oh, it's not like I actually think

506
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: they're going to win the Super Bowl. I just think

507
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: the number is crazy. The offense doesn't look particularly good.

508
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: The defense is an elite, but between Rogers TJ. Watt,

509
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: the mediocre play that we're seeing out of the AFC.

510
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: If they're in a critical situation late in the playoffs

511
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: against these against like the Jaguars, if they meet them

512
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: in Jaguars.

513
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: The Steelers don't even the Jaguars podcast. The Jaguars own

514
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers and the Colts. Colts haven't won in Jacksonville

515
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: in over a decade, missed me with the.

516
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: Steelers are thirty. The Steelers are thirty to one to

517
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. They're the two seed in the AFC.

518
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: They might have a first round by they're going to be.

519
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 2: Kicking a knife out of my back that you just

520
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: stabbed in and did pretending to be a fake Jags

521
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: fan this whole time. Not miss me. Uh uh ain't

522
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: a way.

523
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: The funny thing is, yesterday I placed a Super Bowl

524
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: bet on the Ravens, so uh hear me, I said

525
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: I was gonna do it one in five. They're gonna

526
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: get healthier after the buye their schedule now they had

527
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: one of the hardest schedules so far. Now they're gonna

528
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: have one of the easiest schedules. To Steelers, schedule gets

529
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: a lot more difficult. And this is basically like can

530
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: the Ravens chase down Pittsburgh they play him twice in December?

531
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: Their schedule gets easier, Steelers it gets more difficult, Like

532
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: Lamar's gonna be back after the buy their defense, you

533
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: get healthier. I'm trusting in that organization to not like

534
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: sign or trade for someone like can they go get

535
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 3: just throwing a name out of here, But like, could

536
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: they go get like a Dexter Lawrence or someone like that,

537
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: like an impactful See de Way like someone like that,

538
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 3: because without Montabuk they need it. But yeah, I think

539
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 3: this is just the bottoming of the market on Baltimore.

540
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to time it. And like, so if

541
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: they would they come back and win the division, you know,

542
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: then they're going to be in like six seven, nice ticket,

543
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: So yeah.

544
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: I would. I think that maybe that's just that's the

545
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: general advice here is like just find if you think

546
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: that there's value on someone in the AFC, just buy them.

547
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it, whether it's the Ravens working

548
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: their way back up into the mix, or the Steelers

549
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: ticket that I purchased this morning. The playoffs right now,

550
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: the Colts is the one seed, the Chargers are the

551
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: three seed, the Patriots, the Bills, the Jags, the Broncos.

552
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Which one of those teams can you not beat? Especially

553
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: if you have home field advantage in the playoffs?

554
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: The jarl beatable is the Jags podcast you keep forgetting.

555
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: That Privates, I can't believe. I cannot believe you have

556
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: done this to us.

557
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Hey, let's you know what, we can always add to

558
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: the ticket. Okay, we can.

559
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: We can disappointed.

560
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: I will not be. I will not be investing in

561
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: the Steelers in the Bowl, but.

562
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: I Jaguars fourteen to one to get the one seed.

563
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: That's also possible. All right, time to plant your flag

564
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: present by draft Kings. Shut up, I'm.

565
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: Trying to plant my flag here.

566
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: Okay, you're really planning your flag in that thick Let's

567
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: go around the horn here, Hendra, We'll start with you.

568
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: Where are you planning that flag? This week?

569
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: I am gonna go with the Titans on the seven

570
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: and a half. I have to. Okay, they just fired

571
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: their coach. I told you guys a couple weeks ago

572
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: that whoever the first team to fire their coach was,

573
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: I would get on them the following week. There's always

574
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: an amount of get up. It's a fake revenge game

575
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: for vrabel Way, why is that fake? Because I with

576
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: you just picked against the Patriots. You just talked about

577
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: how much you didn't like them last week.

578
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: This this, I mean honestly, had I even thought about

579
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: the fact that they were heading into Tennessee the following week,

580
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: I would have probably doubled down on the Saints, which

581
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: would have been a horrendous decision in hindsight. But this,

582
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: this is one variable's gonna have guys ready to go.

583
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's over a touchdown in the NFL, the

584
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: week after a team fired their coach, it's got to

585
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: be a.

586
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: Third trade road game, third trade road game two for

587
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: New England, which is noteworthy. Yeah, it over a touchdown.

588
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: I couldn't it's New England. I mean, it's Tennessee or nothing.

589
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: For me.

590
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: This is a tough week so far. I haven't even

591
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: bet anything yet. There's a lot of injuries to monitor.

592
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm still going through every game, but I'll plan my

593
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: flag on Minnesota. I mean, this Eagles team as a

594
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: road favored or I don't even know the quarterbacks gonna

595
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: be for the Vikings this week, but they still haven't

596
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: announced if it's going to be McCarthy or Wentz. But

597
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: they should be healthier coming out of the by like

598
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: they had a ton of injuries, like Bankinkle should be

599
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: back their offensive line and a ton of injuries. They

600
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: should be much healthier there. And this Eagles team is

601
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: just a mess right now. Like I there were laying

602
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: points in Minnesota against Flores with a banged up offensive line,

603
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: an offense that looks completely broken. I mean they need

604
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: to get to a bye week and figure some things out.

605
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: And then defensively, Jalen Carter is banged up, Quinnon Mitchell

606
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 3: got hurt, the rest of that unit is not playing

607
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: very well. Uh, Minnesota off the by great staff, one

608
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: of the best home field advantages in the NFL. Yeah,

609
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: I'll play my flag on the Vikings.

610
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I did already bt the Vikings at plus two and

611
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: a half, so I'm with you on that. I don't

612
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: think are we at the point now where Carson Wentz

613
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy The line doesn't move an inch depending on

614
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: who the quarter is.

615
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 2: I think Carson Wentz is better. I still stand on that,

616
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: and that's saying a lot.

617
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: I think Gurds Wentz is better right now. There's a

618
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 3: wider I mean, there's more variance with McCarthy. It's like

619
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: we think there's a lot we just still don't know.

620
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: But like, yeah, I think Once is better than McCarthy

621
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: right now. There's a wider range of outcomes that McCarthy

622
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: plays like.

623
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: But in terms of spread value, I don't think the

624
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think based on.

625
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: The marginal, Like it's not like this would go to

626
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: three or anything. So yeah, I think it's very marginal.

627
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a group or someone with a lot of

628
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: market influence money who does have a really strong opinion

629
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: on that, But for me, I mean it's like a

630
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: half point difference.

631
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: So would you advise waiting for the three though for

632
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: people that are listening to this, or do you think

633
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: it never gets there?

634
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: I don't think it would ever get the three, So.

635
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: I tend to agree Raiders plus eleven and a half,

636
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: planting my flag on that one. I was surprised to

637
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: see this touch twelve yesterday. It's back down to eleven

638
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: and a half. The Raiders always play the Chiefs well.

639
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: It was nice to see some signs of life from

640
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: Gino in company, even if it was against the horrendous

641
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. But this is more of a fate of

642
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City selling high on a team that now everybody's

643
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: bought back in on major letdown spot against the division

644
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: rival over ten points. Raiders auto play. I mean, we

645
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: brought this up last week that this was probably going

646
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: to be a play on the Raiders today. Any pushback

647
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: from anybody, I mean, you're going.

648
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: To get Rice back, so they ken the I mean,

649
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: the Raiders are going to play their zones, are going

650
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 3: to try to prevent explosives. They might be able to

651
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 3: run the ball a little bit because the Chiefs Rundy

652
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: has not been great. But but man, that I mean,

653
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: I would have loved I would love if Bowers played,

654
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: And I don't know if he's he's gonna play, so

655
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: that hurts, and you don't have your left tackle, which

656
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: still really hurts. They're offensiven like even against Tennessee they

657
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: only average but like four yards per play last week.

658
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, I would love it if the Bowers played.

659
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: But I don't think he will because if you look

660
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 3: at the Raiders schedule, I mean, they're in desperation, so

661
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: maybe he will, but they're they're two and four because

662
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: they have the Chiefs then a bye week, so like,

663
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: if you're looking at it from the franchise's perspective, you

664
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: don't play him this week, you have an eck. You

665
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: basically have three more weeks for him to get healthy.

666
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: So that's the only thing that I would note. But

667
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: I think your logic makes sense.

668
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: In his sound, I almost fell off my chair just

669
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: now appreciate you guys coming back around on me after

670
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: all that jag stuff. All right, for yourself, this is

671
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: your last chance, Kendrick before before I officially tag this

672
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: with our DraftKings sponsorship. Are you sure you want the Titans?

673
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 2: Are you bullying me right now?

674
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: Raiders? You can't bully about the Titans.

675
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do love, I do loa, I will say

676
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: always love the fired the coach angle, so you do

677
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: have that the worst.

678
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 3: Coach of all time you fired?

679
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: So yeah, a monkey could call plays better than him.

680
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Uh So, here are your Plant the Flag Games presented

681
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: by DraftKings. Kendra is on the Titans plus seven Stucky

682
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: as the Vikings plus two and a half, and I

683
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: am on the Las Vegas Raiders plus eleven and a half.

684
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: The dogs are barking this week. Now time for our

685
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: main event. No betting week can start without it. It's

686
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: the primer courtesy of the Voice of God, Evan Abrams. Evan,

687
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. When is the last time you

688
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: had an uncrustable.

689
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: That's actually a really good question. It's been a few years.

690
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 4: They're very tasty. They are good road trips snacks.

691
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: I will give you that.

692
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: So that's probably where I stand there. The deep fry

693
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 4: of a of an uncrustable feels like a very very

694
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: dangerous game.

695
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I'll be playing that boo.

696
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 4: That seems very Maybe Halloween, I don't know, maybe we

697
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 4: could do something stupid.

698
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure that if if you were to go to

699
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: the Texas State Fair for ou Texas, I'm sure that

700
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: they've done that already. They were frying mayonnaise this past weekend.

701
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 4: Snickers fried Snickers is a good idea.

702
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: Before.

703
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard that.

704
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: It's amazing. Actually, I'm serious. It's like I didn't know

705
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: what to expect, but it was like the best thing

706
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 3: I've ever tasted in my life.

707
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: Really, how does it not melt?

708
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

709
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know the science behind it.

710
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 4: But encapsulated in the fried bread, Kendra, that's obviously how

711
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 4: do you not know that?

712
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: God, idiot?

713
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 4: Have you had fried butter Evan, I've tasted it? Yes,

714
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 4: it's good, right, it's absurd.

715
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like you feel you don't want to be

716
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: eating it because it's like I'm just you're basically eating

717
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: a like a worst version of stick of butter. Because

718
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: then it's just fry.

719
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: But it's it's diabetes.

720
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: Man, it's hard to sounding.

721
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: That sounds like a heart attack. But I did you

722
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: like the road dog angle of the young crustable? All right, Evan,

723
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: what are we looking at? What are the trends we

724
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: need to be aware of.

725
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 4: I'll give you two so off the bat, that kind

726
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 4: of back up what you guys are talking about prior

727
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: to this. So the Mahomes angle, obviously they're laying eleven

728
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: and a half this week as a favorite above a

729
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 4: touchdown since twenty twenty, the man is thirty six and

730
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 4: two straight up, but thirteen twenty four and one.

731
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: Against the spread as that big of a favorite.

732
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 4: The thirty six and two best in the NFL, the

733
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 4: thirteen twenty four and one worse than the NFL, and

734
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 4: that's something we've seen recently. The best note is this

735
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: above a touchdown favorite since twenty twenty, he's thirty and

736
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 4: oh straight up versus anyone not name the Raiders.

737
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: So both his.

738
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: Losses Christmas Day one of them.

739
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Christmas Day, and you know everyone's opening presents and

740
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 4: the Chiefs can't get to fourteen points.

741
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: We alle at.

742
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 4: The other fired angle I'll give you this one, so

743
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 4: I think more impactfully, I looked last decade, just since

744
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, most recently so Callahan twenty third coach fired

745
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 4: prior to twenty two.

746
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: Teams listen just ten and.

747
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 4: Twelve straight up, eleven to eleven ats next game, even home,

748
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: it's pretty much even ground. I think the one angle

749
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: you would look at is the team that fires the

750
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 4: head coach. Twenty eight percent straight up, thirty six percent

751
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 4: against the spread before the firing, goes up about seven

752
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 4: per six six seven percent straight up, but twelve percent

753
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 4: against the spread after the firing. So the teams end

754
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 4: up do finding themselves a bump in whatever stretch left

755
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 4: of the year they have the game after here or there.

756
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 4: Sample size a little bit small, I will say this,

757
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 4: the line of seven on the game decently large for

758
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: after a coach getting fired, especially at home. Those numbers

759
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 4: kind of point towards Tennessee getting the cover. But either way,

760
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 4: the bump it does exist.

761
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: Interesting, So do you think that that's just been overrated

762
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: over the years? Has that become a pregame show narrative

763
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: more than an actual betting angle.

764
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 4: I think the cause of the bump for the rest

765
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 4: of this season is something noteworthy because you had to

766
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 4: be bad enough to get fired in the first place,

767
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 4: and usually that impacts straight up more than against the spread.

768
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 4: But that number ats prior of thirty six percent, that's terrible.

769
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 4: So to get back to fifty percent after the firing

770
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 4: of forty eight percent, that twelve percent delta is noteworthy.

771
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 4: Like the team gets better.

772
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you.

773
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: Number one, you're you're probably bottomed out, so like there's

774
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: nowhere to go about ut. Generally speaking, if you're a

775
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 3: coach that got fired, you're more than likely not a

776
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 3: bad coach, and that's the case with Callahan. And then

777
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: also there's just hey, you bring in a new regime.

778
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: You are a bad team, right, you were. You had

779
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: to have a really really bad record to get fired,

780
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: So that means that you were probably doing some things

781
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: that were not ideal for your team schematically or using

782
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 3: your players. Right, So you get a new voice in there,

783
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 3: they might listen to the players. They're going to try

784
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 3: some new things. That's more applicable to the first game

785
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: with a new coach. Right, So there might be some surprises,

786
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 3: right that the Patriots aren't expecting that you might you

787
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: that the Tennessee might try and then will break tendencies

788
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: of what they've been doing. But I think there's there's

789
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 3: definitely a lot behind why a team would improve the

790
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: rest of the way the.

791
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: Law is sound for why anyone and Kendra is wanting

792
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: to back the Tennessee Titans. My issue with it is

793
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: that is the other side of the angle, and I'm

794
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: curious if there are any numbers behind this, Evan, because

795
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: you have Mike Rabel coming into town who was fired

796
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: by the Tennessee Titans. So if we're talking about aggressiveness

797
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: late in the game to prove a point against a

798
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: bad team, Mike Rabel's probably gonna do that. This is

799
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: a throat on the jugular kind of game, I would think,

800
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: So I'm curious if there's anything on coaches that are

801
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: facing the team that previously fired them.

802
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think you'd be small enough sample.

803
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 4: I'm literally staring at all of the coaches who have

804
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 4: faced the new coach after the fired I just don't,

805
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 4: you know, to cross reference to see if the team

806
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 4: had faced them. I haven't done that yet, But to

807
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 4: my standpoint, I believe that the bump is there no

808
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 4: matter the circumstance everything else a little noisy. You could

809
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 4: believe the storylines you want with Rabel and I think

810
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 4: I agree with you, like there's no reason for him

811
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 4: not to stomp on Tennessee's neck if he.

812
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: Has the ability to.

813
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 4: But as a whole, I think the line's a little inflated.

814
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 4: I also think it's probably just gonna go up sixty

815
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 4: four percent of tickets seventy four percent of the money

816
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: on New England. I think as we get closer to

817
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 4: the weekend, it could get to stuck.

818
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 3: What do you think seven and a half? Is it possible?

819
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: Like?

820
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: Do we keep going there's one already here?

821
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, there you go.

822
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: I think it'll close seven, but I think they will

823
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 3: probably season seven and a half.

824
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: What about so Dan Campbell Monday Night Football against the Bucks.

825
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: That's a really interesting game. I think that's a really

826
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: tough one to peg from a betting perspective because the Lions,

827
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: we know, have just been so good against the spread,

828
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: yet their secondary. We'll see what happens this week. But

829
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: so banged up against Kansas City and that was such

830
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: a casey spot on Sunday Night Football. Now they play

831
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: the Buck. The Bucks are without everyone on offense and

832
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: they've been awesome. So Dan Campbell off a loss, though,

833
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: I would think is probably the primer angle to follow here.

834
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: What do we have on that if anything?

835
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, very simple.

836
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 4: I mean Goff and Campbell fifteen twelve and one straight up,

837
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 4: twenty and eight against spread afful loss. But what everyone

838
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 4: will tout they've covered in won eleven straight dating back

839
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 4: to the November of twenty twenty two. So basically, they

840
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 4: come off a loss, they mow people over. And I

841
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 4: think the angle that is more of an outlier when

842
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 4: it comes to this is just the fact that when

843
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 4: GoF is a favorite, he's pretty much just crush competition,

844
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 4: especially when it comes to night games and things.

845
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: Of that nature. They just they're ridiculous.

846
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 4: During the regular season, GoF is nineteen and three straight

847
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 4: up as a favorite in night games, nine to zero

848
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 4: with the Lions. He's made thirty nine starts at night

849
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 4: in prime time twenty one and five straight up as

850
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 4: a favorite, So and we saw it was interesting is

851
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: four and nine as an underdog. So, uh, the role

852
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 4: we saw against Kansas City kind of followed what he's

853
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: done previously.

854
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: But in this.

855
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 4: Spot, especially awful loss, everyone just going to make the

856
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 4: assumptions on Detroit series in the line. Actually, wow, I

857
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 4: literally just looked at this line had gone down to

858
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 4: four and a half. I didn't see that it was

859
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 4: five and a half last night.

860
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 3: There's so many injuries to keep track of. There. You

861
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 3: have all the Lions corners. There're gonna be a little

862
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 3: bit corners again. Then you have this the safety that

863
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 3: might get suspended or he is suspended, but he's appealed. Yeah,

864
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: but he's going to appeal it, so I don't know

865
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 3: if that's changed. Taylor Decker's hurt too, And then the Bucks.

866
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: You have all the offensive line injuries.

867
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Hockey.

868
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: Every's not gonna play, Godwin's not gonna play. Buka mri

869
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 3: Evans could be back. But that's a lot like you.

870
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 3: That's a tough game to crack. But there might be

871
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: some market movement throughout the week based on the injuries

872
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: because the Lions defense is a ton and their left

873
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 3: tackle and the box offense is decimated throughout. But maybe

874
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: just Baker Anfield, it doesn't even matter and he's gonna

875
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: find guys no matter what against a just completely depleted secondary.

876
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,959
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of moving pieces with that game.

877
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to be on the lines, but I

878
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: think to Stucky's point, waiting is probably the best option here.

879
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: That right there is why we save Evan for the

880
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: end of the episode. That was fantastic. That'll do it

881
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,759
