Chad and Simon bff's Chad and 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.400 Simon BFFs. That's how you're going to find us in 0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:02.080 the contest. LF Simon, I think I forgot to say it, didn't. 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.040 I know you said it, but I like it. You 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:03.760 just fired up. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.840 I forgot. I didn't remember listen. 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.119 Walking around his house yelling E Simon. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.960 I do well. I yell like in a accents all 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.560 the time. And like over the holidays, we had like 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:26.399 two hours where there wasn't simmering tension between various step 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.360 moms and mother in laws. And that was when like me, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.840 my wife, are two boys, my dad, his wife, and 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:39.440 my mother in law we gathered around the fireplace and 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.680 which I had built the fire and it was glorious 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.280 and we were playing different games and one of the 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.040 games required you to say certain words or guess what 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.000 an accent is. And at one point, like there was 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.720 an English accent and a Scottish accent and it was 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.640 my moment to shine because I have been doing bad 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.560 English and Scottish accents around my house, I think since 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.640 the day my kids were born. And it was so 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.960 exciting because they got it immediately. It was the only 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.919 time I could really contribute to the game. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.680 It's I always joke my biggest negative when I go 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.280 to England is I can't stop doing people's accents back 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:16.960 to him. And it's like kind of like were're doing. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.440 It's like I'm not even trying to be disrespectful. I 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.000 have like a parrot syndrome, but here's something I just 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.480 repeat it back. And the big one is my uncle 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.400 has a dog named Nelly, and anytime Nelly does anything 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.120 goes no Nelle, and I swear for about no nell 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.919 two weeks all I say to anything, anyone asked me anything? 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.640 Oh no, Nella, no No. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.320 I love it. I love it all right. It's a 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.400 week fourteen episode. We're going to narrow down the options 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.920 to get to our final five. It's going to be 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.120 harder than we think. In our pregame and our pre 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.120 show convo, it felt like we were split on some games. 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.680 Subscribe watch on YouTube, a Sharper Square, Apple Pods, Spotify, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.760 listen Simon. We're going to get into the Steelers in 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.800 the Ravens game. But the big news this week, like 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:04.040 there is just crazy, crazy drama that we have not 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.800 seen in the Steelers' locker room or with the Steelers 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.160 generally since Mike Tomlin has been coached, Like they signed 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.560 Adam Thielen, so clearly all their downfield passing issues are 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:21.320 just gonna go away. I kid, but the bigger news. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.400 Ben Roethlisberger on his podcast set, I love Mike Tomlin, 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.160 but and everyone knows anything you say before but is 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.440 a lie. I love Mike Tomlin, but maybe he should 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:36.280 go coach Penn State Come on, case Simon, I don't 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.760 get this. A Mike Tomlin's not building that roster. He's 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.360 not the one who signed TJ. Watt to a massive 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.880 forty million dollar guaranteed deal for next year. He's not 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.320 the one who signed Jalen Ramsey and traded away makea Fitzpatrick. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.720 He's not the one who gave Cam Hayward a new 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.360 deal after he sat out during training gap. He's not 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.000 the one who signed Aaron Rodgers like. He's not the 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.320 one who traded for DK Metcalf. I know he's involved 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.720 in all these conversations, but there's a lot of blame 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.960 to go around. This roster is not good enough, and 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.560 we're going to get into that. But dude, Mike Tomlin's 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.400 been a brilliant coach for twenty years. I can name 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.040 ten teams right now that would kill to have Mike 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.760 Tomlin be their head coach. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:21.960 That? 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.400 Like Mike Tomlin is not really the problem here? 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.480 No, and Big Ben is part of the problem of 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.599 all these ex athletes having podcasts, And I get it, 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.240 everyone WANs to share their opinions and stuff like that, 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.240 but that just sounds like a bitter old man, Ben Roethlisberger, 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.799 that's just I don't know why he's holding grudges against Tomlin, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.280 But to think a man like that, a caliber of coaching, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.640 who's taken a joke of a team these last couple 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.640 of years to the playoffs every year, and you know, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.560 think that man might go to Penn State, like you 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.720 just said, if you're if you're the Raiders, like all 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.599 these different organizations I've just for twenty years, you would 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.720 die to bring in a Mike Tomlin type this get 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.400 the organization right, So very very bizarre are Roethlisberger is saying. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.800 I think it's another thing of an athlete maybe having 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.320 stuff we don't know about behind closed doors, that he's 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.000 holding grudges against tom because rationally doesn't make any sense, 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.800 Like no sense, Yeah, it makes zero sense. So I 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.720 think Tomlin laughed at it basically when they asked him 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.640 about it, just being like I gotta hear I gotta 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.680 talk about this stupid shit again, because it feels like 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.479 every year they're asking if you'd ever go to college, 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.719 and it's like, dude, the disrespect of that man to 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.360 ask him that question is ridiculous. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:32.680 Raiders, Titans, Giants, I mean, the list goes. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.000 On Eagles fanily. I love Sirianna. I would I would 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.560 take time, honestly, I mean, I do respect Serianni. But 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.960 what are we doing here? Tomlin's a Hall of Famer. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.200 All right, let's get into this thing. Every week we 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.160 give it our peaks. Every week, Simon's fellow professional betters 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.880 call to yell at him about those picks. It's time 0:05:51.920 --> 0:06:00.280 to summarize those opinions. It's time for chef calls. Who 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:07.760 all right, rain range, telephone range. Somebody said, maybe wanted. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.080 To do man, Yeah, I'll start where I got killed, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.000 which I knew was coming. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:12.440 I was on. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.680 I'm on a lot of chalk. I would say, shocking, 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.360 and no one pros they really like Cincinnati. But like 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.919 I said, I did believe they liked him at the six, 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.520 and I haven't heard too much love for them at 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.240 the five and a half, which is where that number is. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.760 But tons of calls about Cincinnati and how that's going 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.200 to be the right side. Tons of love for Pittsburgh, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.680 tons of love for you know, not shockingly, this Atlanta 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.920 team that is in a unique spot a game. I 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.599 didn't really you know, talk too much about him. You 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.800 know a ton of love for Dallas, which we talked 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.600 a little bit about. But the biggest one I got wrong, obviously, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.720 is this Minnesota game. I got a ton of calls 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.279 about pros who love Minnesota. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.960 They don't think Daniels is playing. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.480 They love this matchup defensively for Minnesota against Mariota coming 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.200 on the road, if it is gonna be him, And yeah, 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.320 that's that's a game I just simply got wrong. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.640 I'm still on Washington. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.560 I still like them as a dog, especially the fact 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.480 that it's up to two and a half in a 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.640 lot of books right now. But I was shocked to 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.039 hear so many pros are coming in on this Minnesota 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.360 side and they just love JJ. I don't get it. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.400 I will never get it. They love the coming of 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.000 the year. They kind of haven't budget on it, and 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.720 you've seen it this week, the way that numbers move. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.200 So those are the games that kind of gotten wrong. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:19.960 The ones they loved. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.040 Our picks on love the Saints plus eight and a half, 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.320 Love this Jets team that we've talked about, loved our 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:31.160 love for this Cleveland team, you know, Chicago. I talked 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:32.760 to a couple of really smart groups that are on it, 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.520 I still think that's a Green Bay line. When it's 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.240 under seven, I still think it's a Green Bay line. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.080 So I'll be a fun one to discuss. We want 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.200 to get into it. Tons of love for Atlanta already 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.600 talked a little bit about that one. Arizona. You know, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.880 not a shaker with such a big number. I knew 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.800 the Pros would be on that one. And that Chiefs 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.680 game is kind of a flip flop. I've heard groups 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.600 on both sides of it, so there's not really one 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.120 side that they love, right if you can get the 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.720 three and the Chiefs, I know some really smart groups 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.080 have coming on and the same with a three and 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.160 a half. They're tons of professional groups that took early 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:03.400 positions on that Houston side. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.560 And the last one pain pains for me to hear. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.280 The Pros absolutely love this Chargers team against the Eagles. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.720 They love the matchup for them, and what we've talked about, 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.920 there's all the dysfunction, all the noise around this Eagles team. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.240 I think they view it as another spot to keep riding, 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.760 you know the fate of this Eagles team. But like 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.400 I said, I think if it's two and a half, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.600 that's an Eagles line. So that's gonna be a fun 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.160 where I'm I gotta. I have a couple of games 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.280 are going against the pros. For the most part, it's 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.200 all the chalk, Like I'm just on chalk this weekend, 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.240 like every week the pro Just love the dogs. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.600 Simon, You'll always be my pro.

Will these lines that 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:21.280 we are all playing together against each other in good fun, 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.240 will these lines move? 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.240 Yes, The lines in this contest the Sharper Square Pro 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.839 Football Pickup Contest are dynamic as they've been the last 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.000 two seasons, so they'll move with the market throughout the week. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.880 But be advised, these are still contest lines, so they'll 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:42.360 always end in half points to avoid ties. All pecks 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.319 must win or lose. So yes, the contest lines will. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:52.240 Move dynamic lines. How or what actually are people going 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:53.840 to win? What is the grand prize? 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.280 Okay, so grand prize? The contest winner and a guest 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.840 will be flown to warm Full South Florida, where they 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.960 will enjoy a complimentary two nights day at the Beautiful 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.600 Seminal Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, along with tickets to 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.720 the Memphis Grizzlies versus Miami Heat game on February twenty first. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:20.440 Very important, Can people change their picks during the week? 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.400 Yes, if you want to make any changes to your picks, 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.880 you just need to cancel your entry and make all 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.360 five picks again. At the bottom of your finished entry, 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.040 there's a little button that says cancel and play again. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.920 You click that, it cancels your entry. You make your 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.400 picks again at the current contest lines. 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:39.439 Easypsy. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.200 Is there a tiebreaker? 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.760 Yes, so this contest is only nine weeks long, so 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.640 the tiebreaker is going to be really important as it 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.480 has traditionally been. It will be total passing yards in 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.360 a selected game, typically Monday Night Football. In the event 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.680 of a tie at the end of this contest, the 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.319 winner will be decided by the lowest tiebreaker differential. So 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.400 when you submit your pecks, do not forget to put 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.160 in your typebreaker. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:10.920 Answer, Matt, will all of the games be included as 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.200 available contest picks. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.680 So we do not include Thursday Night Football in the contest. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.760 We never have, probably because those games are an abomination, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.840 But generally speaking, all other games will be available to 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.160 choose who. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:26.440 Can play in this contest, Matt. 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.800 Okay, you just need to be twenty one years or 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:34.480 older as of today and located in the United States, 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.560 So sorry Canadians and Brits and all our international listeners. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.360 The only US states that are excluded are Rhode Island 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.400 and Washington State. Tell me why they have tricky rules 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.880 about free to play games. So like, if you live 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.120 in Newport or Seattle or whatever, call your congressman. I 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.080 don't ask me. I have no idea, but I wish 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.200 you the best of luck anyway. 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.920 All right, well listen.

You know, we know 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.320 it's very late in the season and it's a quick 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.600 turnaround here, but I really appreciate all the people that 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.840 signed up so early, and like we keep saying, it's 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:54.920 the type of thing where the more of you that 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.360 sign up, the cooler stuff. 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.480 We wile to be able to do in the future. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.000 So we love the support we're getting from all the 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.240 fans and come prove you're better than me and Chad. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.120 Let's see it. People. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:10.160 I love when you when you when you give appreciation 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.320 to the fans, I think it's fantastic. Shows your true spirit. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.120 It shows that you really really are a good person 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:16.960 deep down. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:18.000 I used to hate them. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.720 I'll be the first time I used to hate the fans. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.400 But then we did a bunch of live shows and 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.560 you quickly realize you're only hearing ten percent of the 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.440 assholes online. The ninety percent of these people are awesome, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.920 cool people that just want to you know, learn get 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:30.280 better at. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.480 Betting football and love football. 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.200 So I've grown to really appreciate our fan base and 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.000 how cool so many of them. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.880 Are I love that about you? All right? Listen, you 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.840 can find our producer Matt Mitchell tylt go to at 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.840 sharp or square underscore. The little underscore at the end 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.280 of it is key at Sharper square underscore. Let's get 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.360 into it, Simon, you mentioned Dallas. We let's talk about 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.680 Dallas and Detroit for a second. Detroit is a three 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.200 point favorite. We're not going to spend too much time 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.040 on it. We can't put it in contest because Thursday 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.680 games aren't eligible. But it's a really interesting game. I 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.600 don't think I'm gonna bet it like I think I'm 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.600 just gonna sit it out. I think it's it's I 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.040 think it's lined perfectly right, like it feels so public 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.160 to bet the Cowboys. I'm not getting the hook. It's 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.520 not going to two and a half. The Lions I 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.320 think have real issues either reverse biases coming into play 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:28.200 for me maybe, but I don't like the number totally fair. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.080 I'm gonna touch the stove. I'm gonna bet the Lions. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.440 I can't help it. I just I just nailed it. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.400 I'm clearly stuck in the past, but I am just 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.160 so scared off about how much public love this Cowboys team, 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.560 and like you just said, the number has not budged 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.240 off the three despite we've had a day and a 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.720 half now of not just professional money, public money as 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.520 well hammering this Cowboys side. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.000 So I'll bet with the books, I'll take the Lions. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.560 But yeah, very very low confidence in this bet. I 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.520 just this Lion's team just seems totally lost. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.280 Yeah, Washington plus one and a half at Minnesota at 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.880 hard Wrack Bet. Washington plus one and a half was 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.600 the Simon says Better the Week presented by hard Rock Bet. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.240 I think we made that when you thought Jaden Daniels 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.960 might be playing. It's looking more and more like Marcus 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.400 Mariota is going to be the quarterback. And this line 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.240 has now moved to two. You said there's two and 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:22.960 a half's out there. I think in this bet, I'm 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.080 with you. I don't see what the love is for 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.600 the Vikings if JJ McCarthy is your quarterback, because he 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.239 is just so ineffective. He has not been able to 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.959 move the ball in any capacity. So are you just 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.879 thinking that it's going to be a three nothing game? 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.560 Like if you're betting on the Vikings, Like, what are 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.359 you looking at here? To make you feel good about 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.720 betting on this Vikings team. I know it sounds stupid. 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.680 Marcus Mariota is now sort of has enough past attempts 0:17:54.680 --> 0:18:00.000 to be eligible for all the rankings. He's a medium 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:05.119 ore serviceable, mid level quarterback who has been in the 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.719 pantheon of backup quarterbacks recently and certainly this year one 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:15.000 of the better ones. And so I'm with you. I 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.560 favor Washington here. Everyone is banking on the fact that 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.040 Brian Flores is going to be able to confuse Marcus 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.640 Mariota to a degree. He's going to turn this game over. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.520 That's got to be what it is, right, Yeah, Yeah. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.000 And I've had just a lot of guys who are 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.800 really heavy on this Minnesota tie just said, you need 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.840 to kind of go back and really dive into how 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.720 bad this team has been for the Commanders, right with 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.280 everything that's going on behind the scenes, And that's fair. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:43.720 Like their last couple of games, even though it was 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.119 a jugging out of a schedule, they went to Kansas City, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.440 they got blown out seven to twenty eight. Then they 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.120 played a Seahawks team at home, got blown out thirty 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.400 eight fourteen, then played Detroit at home, lost forty four 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.720 to twenty two, so that's fair, right, And then they've 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.720 kind of played well these last two weeks where you 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.200 know Miami, I think that was in Madrid they. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:04.280 Lost sixteen to thirteen. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.000 They felt like they could have won to cover that 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.040 game a million different ways, right, I remember the kicker 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:08.720 out of miss kick. 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:09.840 It was just a total training wreck. 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.040 And then that Denver game another game where it felt 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:13.080 like they could have covered. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.040 And won it outright in a bunch of different ways. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:16.360 It lose by one. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.080 They obviously got the cover, but that was the first 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.359 time they had covered in about four or five weeks. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.600 So I get what they're saying, right that this this 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.920 Washington team is just bad right defensively and you really 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.320 dive into it as bad as JJ is. You would 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.400 think wide receivers, but it'll take advantage of a really 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.960 bad secondary. Like Chad just said that, you're banking a 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.520 lot on JJ McCarthy and make these completions, and you know, 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.760 Justin Jefferson hasn't been blowing up in the media, but 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.520 you can see him on the field, his bilinge, everything 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.439 he's doing. He's just so over it, sick of this 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.880 whole experience. So I really am just playing the number here. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:48.919 Like Chad just said, there's two and a half's out there, 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.440 a couple of very public books. I'm gonna have to 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.240 take the number. Even if it is Mariota. I still 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.080 feel like this game should be closer to a pick 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.159 than it is at minus two and a half for 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:58.320 this Minnesota side. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:19:59.920 So not shocking. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.080 The pros love this Minnesota team so much. I'm just 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.080 shocked the numbers move so much. Where we don't even 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.959 know who the quarterback is going to be. Where Daniels 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.440
