14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: picks AFC NFC Championship. What a week. I hope you

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: like that Nick Wright interview. It's one of my favorites.

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: But first, fake questions, real answers. There's stuff I want

17
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: to talk about, but I don't want to wait for

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: you to ask me. Dear Colin, what do you make

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: of some of these coaching hires? Excellent question? Forget the hires,

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't even understand the interview process. How does Jason

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Garrett not get an interview? He coached nine and a

22
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: half years in Dallas and had one losing season the

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: year Tony Romo fell apart physically. The NFC East was

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: not the circus it is today. The Giants won a

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl during his stay. The Eagles went from Andy

26
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Reid to Doug Peterson. Washington went through a renaissance with

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: RG three. The division was pretty darn sound during Jason

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Garrett's train I don't understand it. He's not getting an interview.

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I got nothing against Fangio. Did you watch the Broncos games?

30
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: That offense was remedial. It's an offensive league. Jason Garrett

31
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,279
Speaker 1: an offensive coach. Vic Fangio got an interview with the Jaguars.

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let him in the building to meet Trevor Lawrence.

33
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: I got nothing against Vance Joseph for Raheem Morris. They

34
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: were disasters in their first job. I'm not saying they

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: can't get a second interview. How is Jason Garrett not

36
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: getting interviewed? Is Doug Peterson even getting interviewed? He beat

37
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick with Nick Foles in a Super Bowl.

38
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Jim Caldwell won fifty six percent of his games and

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: made the playoffs twice in Detroit. How is he not

40
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: interviewing for every one of these jobs? I don't even

41
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: understand it. It's recency bias, I guess, and I guess

42
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is now not a hot property. He'd certainly

43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: get an interview with me. Dear Colin explained the burnout

44
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: from Sean Payton. Well, Sean Payton is an example of

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: what I would call the curse of being great. When

46
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: you're great, you rise to prominence, and then you have

47
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: to fend off everybody as they try to catch up

48
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: to you and steal assistance from you, and steal your

49
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: ideas and poach ideas from you. He's one of the

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: great originators of offensive football in the twenty first century.

51
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: He gained more yards and put up more points than

52
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: any NFL coach in their first one hundred games. Think

53
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: about the Saints offensive rankings since he took over with

54
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans in two thousand and six. Number one, number four,

55
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: number one, number one, number six, number one, number two,

56
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: number four, number one, number two, number one, number two.

57
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: Then as Breeze got older, number eight, number nine, number twelve,

58
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: and the league was copying him and chasing him. There's

59
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: only been fourteen five thousand yard passing seasons in league history.

60
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has five member breeze, especially the second half

61
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: of his career, did not throw the ball down field

62
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: as much. Very few cheap yards from Drew Brees. If

63
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: I ran Fox Sports, I said it a couple of

64
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: days ago, I'd give him a bunch of money, get

65
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: him in house, and figure out how to use him.

66
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: He's just a brilliant offensive mind in an increasingly offensive league.

67
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: Dear Colin, what will you be keeping your eye on

68
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: as the rest of the postseason plays out in the NFL? Well,

69
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: think about this. We have four coaches left, three year

70
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: young Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan, and Zach Taylor. Andy Reid

71
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: is the old guy left, but the last three coaches

72
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl Old Guy Bruce Arians, old

73
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Guy Andy Reid, old guy Bill Belichick. If you pull

74
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: back to the last ten years, that list includes old

75
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: guy Pete Carroll, Tom Coughlin, old guy, and Bill Belichick.

76
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: Several times, young coaches are innovators, they're fresh, they're exciting,

77
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: their new experience matters a lot at the end of seasons.

78
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: I'll take Andy Reid to win this weekend and win

79
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Dear Colin, you've been critical of Aaron Rodgers.

80
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: Please don't stop. Give me something else that irks you

81
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: about Aaron. Well, these questions are fantastic this week. One

82
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: of the things I think is important I continue to

83
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: love sports. Right. You don't want to hear me complain

84
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: about sports being tired or tedious. Tom Brady loves football.

85
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: He's obsessed by it. So was Peyton Manning, so was

86
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan. I don't care about

87
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: your balanced life. I'm not interested in your off seasons. Okay,

88
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: I want a guy who wants to win as much

89
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: as I do. Aaron Rodgers keeps reminding us that he'd

90
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: be fine without football. I don't think that's great self awareness.

91
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: Fans don't want to hear it, Your coaches don't want

92
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: to hear it. I'm not sure your executives want to

93
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: hear it. Aaron has this need to project that he

94
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: has a very broad, sophisticated life and football is but

95
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: a tiny slice of the pie. Yeah, it wasn't for

96
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan or Kobe or Lebron or Brady or Montana. Yeah,

97
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Joe Montana didn't spend a lot of time talking about

98
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: his wineries in NAPA until he retired. Aaron keeps reminding

99
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: us he is so smart and so sophisticated. He could

100
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: have a beautiful, beautiful life without football. Like Farv, You're

101
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna leave, We're gonna say bye, and the league will

102
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: continue to grow. Guess what, Aaron, Football doesn't need you either,

103
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I guess Dear Colin, how will we look back at

104
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Big Ben's career several years now? Well, I said this

105
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: the other day on television. He reminds me of Marlon Brando.

106
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: From nineteen fifty through the seventies, Brando was one of

107
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: the great, if not the greatest, actor of all time.

108
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: He won an Oscar for On the Waterfront and The Godfather,

109
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: But the last fifteen years of his life the Larry

110
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: King interviews, he was a punchline. They made fun of

111
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: him on Saturday Night Live, on Letterman, he was just

112
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: a he was a mess. John Travolta made fun of

113
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: him on Saturday Night Live. And if John Travolta thinks

114
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: he's crazy. He must be crazy. Ben, similarly like Marlon Brando,

115
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: will be viewed iconically once we get a little distance

116
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: from his career. But if you've had to live in

117
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: it in the last ten years, he couldn't beat Brady,

118
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: couldn't beat Peyton, couldn't beat Mahomes. In the minute Joe

119
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Burrow got healthy, he dominates the division. Let's be honest,

120
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: it's been twelve years since Big Ben won even a

121
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: divisional round playoff game against another elite to semi elite

122
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: quarterback Joe Flacco twenty twelve. So from afar ten years

123
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: from now, two super Bowls, eight division titles, a big statue,

124
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: top ten passing yards and touchdowns. But it's been a

125
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: pretty turbulent flight with a lot of disappointments for the

126
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: last ten years, just like Marlon Brando. All right, everybody,

127
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: welcome in time for another edition of Sharp or Square.

128
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Now I bring in Chad Milman, Chief Content Officer of

129
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: the Action Network. He is, of course a sharp, somebody

130
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: who bets talks to professional sports gamblers. I am, of

131
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: course a square. I think all of you know that

132
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: on mini levels, and so let's bring in Chad Milman,

133
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Chief content officer of the Action Network. So, how did

134
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: you do last weekend? I forget I did incredibly well.

135
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: I believe we discussed this on this podcast last week.

136
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: I loved the Titans minus three and a half. That

137
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: didn't work out. Clearly, you could argue right side bad outcome.

138
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: You get nine sacks, you got a quarterback who throws

139
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: three interceptions, You've got a chance to go ahead by

140
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown, You've got the ball deep in their in

141
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: their territory. You can't convert fourth and one bad luck.

142
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: I also say the right side is the winning side,

143
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,479
Speaker 1: and that side lost. I was on Los Angeles plus three.

144
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: We talked about that. I had talked about the San

145
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers plus five and a half, and

146
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: this was one where all of the professionals the betting

147
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: market loved the Buffalo Bills. They loved him at plus

148
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: two and a half. They loved him at plus two.

149
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: It got that down to one and a half. And

150
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: this is your main to the conversation today. I bet

151
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: I never it never made sense to me. Patrick Mahomes

152
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: transcendent talent. We talked about this. When you're saying who

153
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: are the five quarterbacks you would take right now. To me,

154
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was number one, not even a question. I

155
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: don't care how much he's getting paid, and we saw

156
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: that bear out. You just don't bet against Patrick Mahomes

157
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: at home on a short number in a game like that.

158
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: That was my side. That was my best bet of

159
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: the week. That was the one I bet. I bet

160
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Kansas said he I got minus one and a half.

161
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: I will tell you I was shocked the Niners beat

162
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I was. I'm very rarely shocked in the NFL.

163
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I was shocked why by healthy, rested Aaron Rodgers quarterback edge.

164
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: I thought Green Bay was a more physical team than

165
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: previous years. They wouldn't be as rattled and unsettled against

166
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: a very good defensive front, and Aaron Rodgers as the

167
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: kind of reigning MVP at home off a bye, should

168
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: generally outdue Jimmy Garoppolo, crazy of me. I was wrong. Well,

169
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: look you, when you bet the five and a half

170
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: on the Niners, it's always good to take a little

171
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: piece of the money line too, especially on those short favorites.

172
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: You don't have to bet a whole unit, right. Units

173
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: are generally representative of the amount of money you normally

174
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: bet in a game. If you normally bet fifty bucks

175
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: in a game, that's one unit. If you're betting one

176
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: hundred bucks on a game and you're normally a fifty

177
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: dollars better, that's two units. Right. So units are really

178
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: representative of how comfortable you are with a particular number

179
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: and how much confidence you have. If you like a

180
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: team that is a short underdog, it always makes sense

181
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: to put a little bit on that team to win, outright.

182
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of professional betters who did that

183
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: with the Niners, because they were certainly sharp side last week.

184
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: So here we go, Bengals plus seven at the Chiefs.

185
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's not only great off a bye, this is

186
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: not a bye when he faces a team for the

187
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: second time within a year. He's twenty three thirteen and

188
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: one against the spread Mahomes at home. I still don't

189
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: think the Bengals are completely healthy. Their offensive line is

190
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: obviously the weakness right now of their franchise. I felt

191
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: last week they had topped out. I feel the difference

192
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: is the Chiefs are a much more dynamic offense than Tennessee.

193
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: I would take Kansas City to win. I think they'll

194
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: dominate I think they'll cover. I think it's potentially a blowout,

195
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: sharp or square. That is a square play, my friend,

196
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: I can't say that you're alone. For the record, you know,

197
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: we do the Favorites podcast for the value and me

198
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: and professional better Simon Hunter. All of the wise guys

199
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: are coming in on the Bengals, and this was sort

200
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: of the biggest debate that we had today. I love

201
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals in this spot. If you can get the

202
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: Bengals at seven and a half, you should. The majority

203
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: of the money is coming in on the Bengals, the

204
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: majority of the tickets are coming in on the Chiefs.

205
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: When you have that discrepancy, it basically means the professionals

206
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: are on the Bengals, the public are on the Chiefs.

207
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: The Bengals. Most people have this game power rated five

208
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: to six, so you're getting about anywhere from a point

209
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: to two points of an advantage if you're betting the Bengals.

210
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs played the sixth most man coverage in the

211
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: NFL this year. Cincinnati had an NFL best eleven point

212
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: four yards per pass attempt against man coverage. Kansas City

213
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: against the playoff teams from the divisional weekend in this

214
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: season were one in three that a one win was

215
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: against Buffalo on overtime. Obviously, none of those games have

216
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: been by more than seven points in Kansas City winning.

217
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: They've played nineteen games this year, only eight wins of

218
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: seven or more. Cincinnati played in nineteen games only two

219
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: losses of seven or more. So, but what really gets

220
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: me here, what really gets me is that this is

221
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: a huge, huge number for a Cincinnati team that is

222
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: as explosive as it is, and that has a quarterback

223
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: who does not get rattled, who's very very good against

224
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: the blitz, and who has talent and Jamar Chase who

225
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: can get downfield and score points in bunches. So if

226
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: this game as the Chiefs up by fourteen with two

227
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: minutes left and a Swiss cheese defense that has gotten

228
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: better but it's still not, you know, top twenty defense,

229
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: do I really think that the Bengals aren't going to

230
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: find a way to score a touchdown in less than

231
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: two minutes. I'm taking the seven, seven and a half

232
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: because of the back door. That's really it. I think

233
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs gonna win. I think they'll probably win by

234
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: a decent number. But if there's backdoor protection, here, especially

235
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: if you can get the seven and a half. NFL

266
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: It is interesting. The Bengals played a lot of close games.

267
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: They narrowly beat the Jaguars. They narrowly lost to the Bears.

268
00:16:54,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: They narrowly beat the Vikings early. It's interesting team. I'm

269
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: looking at the best teams they played this year. They

270
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: hammered the Raiders in Vegas. They got hammered by the Chargers,

271
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: narrow lost to the Bengals. They hammered the Ravens, they

272
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: beat Kansas City narrow lost at home to the Packers,

273
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: so there is and they beat the Titans. There is

274
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: an argument to be made that sometimes they played to

275
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: their competition and they played their best football against the

276
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: best teams that there's We've seen that before. I was

277
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: going to say the thing about the Bengals. That's interesting,

278
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: and this was a huge debate that we had today

279
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: that Simon and I had today on the podcast, which

280
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: was the Bengals have been winning in flukey ways, right,

281
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: And they sort of beat the Raiders but got a

282
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: little bit of help from the officials and had a

283
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: ball tip off a helmet that probably would have tied

284
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: the game if not for that. And then they beat

285
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: the Titans even though getting sacked night times. They got

286
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and a bad game plan and the Titans

287
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: aren't making good calls offensively. My counter to that is

288
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: that the Bengals have the kind of offense and the

289
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: kind of makeup and the kind of players that overcome

290
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: the flukiness that is around them. And so you see

291
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: this all the time with teams. Some teams they create

292
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: their own luck. Some teams put themselves in position to

293
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: win even when everything else around them doesn't make sense analytically.

294
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: And so I know a lot of people who are

295
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: saying the Chiefs in a blowout because of everything we've seen.

296
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: And I've just seen too much of the Bengals in

297
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: positions to keep games close because of the personnel they

298
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: have in the field. All right, let's go Sharper square

299
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: Niners plus three and a half at the RAM. So

300
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has averaged about twenty seven and a half

301
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: points since he came into this league with Jared Goffin

302
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. In the last six games against the forty

303
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: nine ers, he's averaged about eighteen points, so almost ten

304
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: points less. I think this matchup and a couple of

305
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: these matchups in the last six against the Niners they

306
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: scored seven months, they scored ten months, they scored only

307
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: seven in the second half and overtime in their last matchup.

308
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: I think the defensive front, which has a couple of

309
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: first rounders, is a matchup problem for the Rams because

310
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: I think the defensive line talent Armstead boast of first

311
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: round picks simply overwhelmed less talented players for the Rams.

312
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: I think the Rams offensive line as a unit is

313
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: very good in pass protection. The run is often blown up.

314
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's run games often blown up by this defensive front.

315
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: Adding Fred Warner, who I think is the best linebacker

316
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: in football, this is a matchup problem for the Rams.

317
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: This game will be close sharper square. I think the

318
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: Niners three and a half is the side, So that's

319
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: the sharp side. What's really interesting here is that you

320
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: think a Niners team that swept the Rams, that has

321
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: done what you've described sort of schematically, that is six

322
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: and oho straight up the past three seasons, they've won

323
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: all five games when they've been an underdog. This is

324
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: a team that you would think this line gets posted.

325
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: It should be Rams minus three and it should stay there.

326
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: It's been a three and a half all week. It's

327
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: barely come down. You look at the numbers, the majority

328
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: of the bets by a very small percentage. Whereas like

329
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Bengals, there's a wide disparity between the

330
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: money bet on the Bengals and the tickets on the Chiefs,

331
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: this one is much closer. It's all in that forty

332
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: to sixty range, that band, but it's a little bit

333
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: in favor of the Rams, which is why the number

334
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: hasn't come back down to three. There are a bunch

335
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: of syndicates and syndicates we've talked about this. These are

336
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: these groups that are professional betters. They pull their money,

337
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: they bet a lot sort of game to game together.

338
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: From the beginning of the season, they've been on the RAMS,

339
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: and this is sort of indicative of the believing in

340
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: the Rams. It's a really interesting spot to me. It's

341
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: kind of like with the Bengals. If you're getting that hook,

342
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: you take the hook. I mean, this is a matchup.

343
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: Jimmy g As fifteen and four as a dog in

344
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: his career, fourteen and five straight as a straight up

345
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: as a dog, best winning percentage of any quarterback in

346
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl era. In Super Bowl era as a dog,

347
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Shan had eighteen and ten as a road dog.

348
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: Seven and three against the spread against McVeagh home field.

349
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: Here is basically a zero. We've seen it. We've seen

350
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: the Rams trying to manipulate the ticket selling so it

351
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: favors the Rams. Most professionals have this game power raided

352
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: as RAMS minus one, so there's about two and a

353
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: half points of value and schematically you're right. Like to me,

354
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: the Niners can attack the middle of the field and

355
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: use the Rams aggressiveness defense with Von Miller with Aaron

356
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: Donald against them, and you can see how Deebo will

357
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: get these pitches in the backfield and find a way

358
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: to cut inside rather than having to run outside based

359
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: on the aggressiveness of the Rams defense. So I think

360
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: the Rams are the right side here. You're getting a

361
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: hook and you're getting a team that matches up really well.

362
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny how in my mind when I

363
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: start looking at the Bengals and you start looking at

364
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the numbers, I I can't see a

365
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal forty nine or Super Bowl. I just can't.

366
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: It feels like it feels like a Rams Chief Super Bowl.

367
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: Stranger things have happened. But you know it's interesting you

368
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: look at all these young coaches left, Shanahan, McVeigh, Zach Taylor.

369
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: Go and look at the last four or five Super

370
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: Bowl coaches that have won, Andy Reid, Bruce arians Bill Belichick.

371
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: If you extend it, you know the last ten or

372
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: twelve years, you get Tom Coughlin, Mike Tomlin, Pete Carol Belichick.

373
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: Lots of times, I do think my feeling on the

374
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: final four teams. I do feel strongly about Andy Reid

375
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl, which I would root for because

376
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: I really like him. But there is some value. You

377
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: are seeing a lot of offensive coaches take over the league,

378
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: but the old guys, the old guys offense or defense

379
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: usually do well. Does that mean anything to you, No,

380
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily. I mean I think sometimes they are just

381
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: sort of coincidences, right, and it's about rosters, and oftentimes

382
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: it's about quarterbacks. And Bill Belichick has had the best quarterback,

383
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: Andy Reid has had the best quarterback. Bruce arians has

384
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: had the best quarterback. And I think that's why people

385
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: would say, all right, Patrick Mahomes plays for the Chiefs.

386
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: What they're doing is unprecedented. What he can do is unprecedented.

387
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: There's nobody watching that game the other night against the

388
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: Bills when it was thirteen seconds. Who wasn't on their

389
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: feet wherever they were thinking there's a chance, right. It

390
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: just he's too good of a quarterback. So that's why

391
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: people think, Okay, the Chiefs blow them out. That's why

392
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: people think, Okay, the Chiefs. Look the Chiefs have the

393
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: shortest odds to win the Super Bowl right now, There's

394
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: no doubt people are favoring Leaves to win at all.

395
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: When I think about the coaches that are left. Shanahan,

396
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, McVey, Andy Reid. Who love Andy Reid. I

397
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: wanted Andy Reid to win at least one Super Bowl

398
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: because I do think in this era you could argue

399
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: that he is as good, if not better, a coach

400
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: than Bill Belichick, and the only difference has been quality

401
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. But what he has done for the game

402
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: creatively offensively, the development of his coaching tree amazing. Love

403
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: the guy. I want to see Kyle Shanahan win one.

404
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: I just think he's the best coach in the NFL.

405
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: I think he gets more joy and passion out of

406
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: having second and third string and figuring out what to

407
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: do with them and getting people like Deebo Samuel and

408
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: turning them into sort of all around football players. That

409
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: to me is a gift. I love watching this guy coach.

410
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to circle back Aaron Rodgers now,

411
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: even as a favorite, and many of these home Lambeau

412
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: playoff games buy home favorite quarterback advantage. Aaron Rodgers loses.

413
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: Didn't you think it was interesting? You know, Aaron's a

414
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: very complex guy. He keeps reminding us how he doesn't

415
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: need football, how he'd be wildly happy if he retired.

416
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: He has to keep reminding us over and over. You know,

417
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: it's constant projecting on how you know, Brady's telling us

418
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: how much he loves football. Aaron Rodgers keeps reminding us

419
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: he doesn't really need football, which I feel is you know,

420
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: speaking on so many levels to some of the weird

421
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: insecurities with Aaron Rodgers. But did you notice after the

422
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis fumble, next two drives three and out, three

423
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: and out no yards? Aaron gets into these weird tunnels

424
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: where he plays the victim constantly. You know, he like

425
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: rips the prize, rips vaccines, rips Fauci, and then he

426
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: plays the victim. I can't believe people are critical of me. Well,

427
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: those are polarizing topics and polarizing things to take on, right,

428
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: presidents and vaccines. And I think he's a really odd bird.

429
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: And I found once again in a big spot. If

430
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: you put a little pressure on Aaron, he was unsettled.

431
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: And Greg Kosell told me today he just didn't look

432
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: like Aaron And I do think there are certain quarterbacks

433
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: in this league that need to be comfortable to be successful,

434
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: and they don't deal well as well from behind. Matt

435
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Stafford jil has been a very good quarterback from behind.

436
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: He had the highest fourth quarter passer rating in the NFL.

437
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: The ship was leaking water this past weekend, he was fine.

438
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: Stafford surprisingly has some really interesting fourth quarter passer rating stats,

439
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: even in Detroit. But what did you make of sort

440
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers in the offense evaporating after the opening draw?

441
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: To me, that was as much about what San Francisco did,

442
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: how they adjusted, what Kyle Shanahan did. You watched that

443
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: first drive, and those of us who were Niners backers,

444
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: those of us who bet the under, We're like, we're screwed.

445
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: This is done, and you think to yourself, how can

446
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: we have ever thought this? And almost immediately you could

447
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: see the Niners were able to adjust what they were

448
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: doing defensively. What's really interesting and what's impressive about the Niners?

449
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned the pressure. Forget about Aaron Rodgers off the

450
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: field for a second, and sort of how you manage pressure,

451
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: how you manage criticism, how you take in what the

452
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: criticism is and ignore what your role in sort of

453
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: achieving that criticism or getting that criticism is on the field.

454
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: He's just not very good under pressure. I mean, that's

455
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: their statistical measurements to show Aaron Rodgers under pressure, it

456
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: has not been a very good quarterback. And what the

457
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: Niners can do is get up the field pressure with

458
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: just four players you mentioned the defensive line, right, so

459
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: they're able to drop back in coverage, and that has

460
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: a huge impact on what a team like the Niners,

461
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: the Rant, what the Packers do, and also offensively, what

462
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: a team like the Rams does where they're running a

463
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: lot of crossing roots where they've got a lot of

464
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: people out in running their roots, and the Rant or

465
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: the Niners can find ways to get seven people dropping

466
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: back into coverage and messing up sort of the air traffic. Right.

467
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: I think that was a huge hindrance for them, and

468
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: then the Niners just sort of did what they do

469
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: is they found a way to be creative offensively, which

470
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: is why I love Kyle Shanahan so much. So. I

471
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: do think on the field the pressure had a huge

472
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: impact on Aaron Rodgers. Sharper Square Chad Melman, chief Content
