Speaker 1: sports betting network Visa dot Com, the Visa at Foobos
Speaker 1: Link Gay Plus, I Heart Radio, I Heart Radio, I
Speaker 1: Heart Skill Alexander wild Card weekends set in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. We will talk about all six games, uh,
Speaker 1: looking back on some on yesterday, looking back on you,
Speaker 1: I say, looking back on tomorrow, looking back on yesterday.
Speaker 1: And we will bringing Chrissie Andrews as well. It's not
Speaker 1: your typical guessing lines. Uh. Here's the deal. I will
Speaker 1: tell you what I guessed yesterday. I know what they
Speaker 1: are now more or less, but gives us an opportunity
Speaker 1: to discuss with Chrissie his uh thinking behind and what
Speaker 1: his thoughts were on these games. And I will tell
Speaker 1: you that of the six games, I was more or
Speaker 1: less right around half point or a point off, you
Speaker 1: know in the ballpark. Let's say for five of the six,
Speaker 1: one of them I was comically off on comically So
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. And he guesses Jason as to
Speaker 1: what game that was that was comically off. On the
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, you are correct. Just leave it. We'll get
Speaker 1: into that. I can't wait for the comedy though. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let's stalk before we get Chrissy here. Well we can
Speaker 1: break Kissie, Christie and now Ladies. Gentle was my book
Speaker 1: from the South Point Hotel Casino, the star of guessing
Speaker 1: lines during the regular season and kind enough to join
Speaker 1: us here in the playoffs? Is Christie Andrews? Are you doing?
Speaker 1: Chris all? Look in my wounds? After yesterday? Up? What
Speaker 1: was the worst of the Sunday night game? Yesterday? That
Speaker 1: was the worst? Yeah, that was the worst. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: landing on six was was not fun. I would imagine. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: we opened the Eagles one and we went as high
Speaker 1: as seven on Washington, and well six was not a
Speaker 1: very good number. Yeah. Well, you know, hey, this happens, right,
Speaker 1: and then you'll have five weeks in a wrong will
Speaker 1: you crush people? So you know, I don't know my dad.
Speaker 1: I just want to give you some coaching news here.
Speaker 1: We know Adam Gates was fired by the Jets last night.
Speaker 1: This morning in case you missed it here just moments ago,
Speaker 1: came down Doug Morone no real surprise, fired pardon me
Speaker 1: by the Jacksonville Jaguars. All the speculation is that urban
Speaker 1: Meyer will be their head coach. Urban Meyer has already
Speaker 1: talked to Scott Pioli perhaps to be his GM, talking
Speaker 1: to coaches around the country. We'll see if that actually happens.
Speaker 1: But Doug Moron now out in Jacksonville. We do know this.
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor is going to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals. Uh,
Speaker 1: Mike Brown doing his thing. This from Zack Barnett. Zach
Speaker 1: Taylor will returned for a third season in Bengals owner
Speaker 1: Mike Brown announced. The Bengals love holding onto coaches, don't
Speaker 1: they do? And I'm just telling you, well, we'll get
Speaker 1: to that later. But you know, it's a shame. I
Speaker 1: don't want to waste Joe Burrow's career. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not rooting against anybody. I'm always rooting. I want
Speaker 1: the league to prosper. Because the league prospers, then I
Speaker 1: have a chance to prosper. And I need to waste
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's career. And exactly, it was just an awful coach.
Speaker 1: And but you know, the Bengals, that's what the That's
Speaker 1: what the Bengals do. You know. Anyway, probably another wasted
Speaker 1: year for Joe Burrow. I don't plan on giving any
Speaker 1: stats of teams from yesterday that aren't in the postseason,
Speaker 1: so we can sort of, you know, scuttle by those teams.
Speaker 1: But I will just mention this about the Bengals. Zach
Speaker 1: Taylor two years now, six twenty five and one as
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. And I wasn't
Speaker 1: aware because I wasn't looking for stats of the teams
Speaker 1: that were, you know, not not going to the postseason.
Speaker 1: But uh my buddy said, hey, did you see Brandon
Speaker 1: Allen stats yesterday? Brandon Allen was six of twenty one
Speaker 1: for forty eight yards yesterday against Baltimore, no touchdowns, two picks,
Speaker 1: He wasn't sacked. He had a qb R of three
Speaker 1: and a rating of zero. Come on back, Zach Taylor.
Speaker 1: That's yes, Oh my god. So I don't know he
Speaker 1: got the QBR of three, but you know those things
Speaker 1: are quirky. But Joe Burrow, along with Josh Allen, and
Speaker 1: I don't I think we need to give this guy
Speaker 1: more credit. Because Matt Brown and I, along with Dave Pharah,
Speaker 1: we did a fantasy show last year, not this year,
Speaker 1: this past year, and Jordan Palmer. Carson Palmer's little brother,
Speaker 1: who also had a moment in the Pros runs this
Speaker 1: quarterback camp, and any credit we want to give to
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's magnificent accuracy turnaround should go to Jordan Palmer.
Speaker 1: He's also had Joe burrownder his wings, So I mean
Speaker 1: he might be the quarterback whisper, the quarterback guru. But
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor coming back, and we'll find out about Anthony Lynn.
Speaker 1: I guess today, what do you think? I am a
Speaker 1: hunch he's gonna stay. We do. You know? They finished
Speaker 1: strong and I don't know the Stanos family, but I
Speaker 1: know people to do. They are notoriously cheap. That's what
Speaker 1: I can say. And it would behoove to him to
Speaker 1: not pay to one that. It's Gil Alexander, It's Chris Andrews.
Speaker 1: This is a numbers game right here at Visa, the
Speaker 1: Sports Betting Network, Visa dot Com, Visa at foodbos Linking
Speaker 1: game plus part of the I Heart Radio Network. Alright,
Speaker 1: so let us begin. Let's do these in chronological order.
Speaker 1: We'll get the survivor and uh, we'll get you all
Speaker 1: the details of who got through on Survivor. Later we'll
Speaker 1: talk about m v P and Heisman and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Pete few tackle Jonas for college football.
Speaker 1: Todd wishing about what he's doing live on Twitter as well.
Speaker 1: But the first hour here with Chrissy. Let's start with
Speaker 1: the first of the six triple head or Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1: What do you got first? On Saturday, we have a
Speaker 1: cold set the Bills. Colts at the Bills. Colts get
Speaker 1: it done. Colts beat the Jaguars to fourteen. Took a
Speaker 1: little while to have some breathing ruin that game. But
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor Derrick Henry did not have the most yards
Speaker 1: in the NFL yesterday. Jonathan Taylor did uh thirty carries
Speaker 1: for two hundred fifty three yards two touchdowns. Uh. The
Speaker 1: Colts had four hundred thirty seven total yards of offense.
Speaker 1: Two hundred seventy three of those were rushing rivers seventeen
Speaker 1: of twenty seven for one sixty four, one touchdown, one pick.
Speaker 1: He was not sacked. They needed to win into Tennessee
Speaker 1: loss to win the an f C South. That did
Speaker 1: not happen, but they got the win and a loss
Speaker 1: by Miami to put them in the postseason. Did did happen?
Speaker 1: For the Colts. So the eleven and five Colts enter
Speaker 1: as the number seven seed, and then Buffalo enters is
Speaker 1: the number two seeds. Sean McDermott decided, we're gonna play
Speaker 1: guys for a half. At least we're gonna play Josh
Speaker 1: Allen for a half yesterday against Buffalo. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if it would have mattered if it was Josh Allen
Speaker 1: or Joe Ferguson at his advanced stage yesterday playing in
Speaker 1: this game. But in the first half Allen eighteen of
Speaker 1: twenty five for two twenty four three touchdowns, one picky
Speaker 1: sacked once. He ends up with four thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: forty four passing yards and forty five total touchdowns. That's
Speaker 1: through the air and on the ground. That's both of
Speaker 1: those are franchise records, by the way. Antonio Williams twelve
Speaker 1: or sixty three two touchdowns, Gabriel Davis two catches one
Speaker 1: oh seven for a touchdown. Isaiah mackenzie six catches sixty
Speaker 1: five yards two touchdowns, also had a punt return touchdown.
Speaker 1: There were plus two and turnovers against Miami. It's their
Speaker 1: first thirteen win season since the Bills. That is, and
Speaker 1: will host its first playoff game they will in twenty
Speaker 1: four years as they crush, absolutely crushed the Dolphins fifty
Speaker 1: six to twenty six. My guest was minus seven and
Speaker 1: a half in favor of the Bills. What did you
Speaker 1: end up putting up? Well, you know, I opened six
Speaker 1: and a half, but we got bet up. We had
Speaker 1: a few bets last night and that was one of
Speaker 1: them that bet on the Bill. So we're seven right now. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, my my power rating has actually come a
Speaker 1: little lower. But my my feeling is I think seven
Speaker 1: has got to be the number myself. Um, you know Colts,
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Colds and I make Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers and uh, you know, my first thought is inconsistent
Speaker 1: That most people think inconsistent is necessarily a negative connotation.
Speaker 1: It isn't because there's sometimes when they look really good
Speaker 1: and I got that. I think they have a very
Speaker 1: good roster. But you know, Rivers, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he's always been inconsistent. Now he's at an advanced age
Speaker 1: and he's gonna figures be more inconsistent. But you know,
Speaker 1: do they have a chance against the Bills. Absolutely, But
Speaker 1: right now I think the Bills are just they're playing
Speaker 1: as good at football as anybody in the NFL, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna be awfully tough to beat. And I think
Speaker 1: home Field is starting to meet a little something, especially
Speaker 1: now in these playoff games. UH. So, you know, I
Speaker 1: think sevens are good. I think seven was a good number.
Speaker 1: I got opened it a little bit too low. I
Speaker 1: believe that there's no breaking news here, but I think
Speaker 1: Buffalo will be v teaser leg that everybody ties in
Speaker 1: every thing else with uh and perhaps rightfully so. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. They're playing as well as anybody, and
Speaker 1: that includes Kansas City and that includes Green Bay. Can
Speaker 1: we talk about Miami for a second who they knocked
Speaker 1: out or at or at least helped knock out the
Speaker 1: once Indianapolis when it was a done deal. Miami ends
Speaker 1: up ten and six. They end up the odd team
Speaker 1: out of the eight teams for seven spots sweepstakes in
Speaker 1: the a f C. Uh Towah in the first half
Speaker 1: yesterday was twelve of nineteen for eighty nine yards, no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was stocked once. He ended up thirty
Speaker 1: five of fifty eight for three sixty one fifty eight attempts,
Speaker 1: one touchdown, three picks. Was sacked once. The picks were
Speaker 1: over the span of four second half possessions. Three picks
Speaker 1: in four second half possessions. He had two interceptions his
Speaker 1: first eight starts. But the play I want to seize
Speaker 1: on because a lot of people are gonna seeze on
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, the ball doesn't go downfield
Speaker 1: with him, and that's justifiable, that's absolutely right to see
Speaker 1: is on that. But there was another thing in that game,
Speaker 1: third quarter, twelve oh five left, the Dolphins were down
Speaker 1: to six, So this is the opening drive of the
Speaker 1: second half. They got rolled in the first half by
Speaker 1: Alan first and goal at the Buffalo nine to up
Speaker 1: the gut, and instead of taking on defenders and trying
Speaker 1: to get into the end zone, he slides right in
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and lands at the I
Speaker 1: don't know, it was like a four or five yard game,
Speaker 1: and I just remember thinking of myself at that moment
Speaker 1: that play was more damning to me than any of
Speaker 1: his passes downfield. Is he shy of contact still with
Speaker 1: the injury? What did you see that play? What did
Speaker 1: you chalk that up to? I didn't see that play
Speaker 1: that was at that one up being one of our
Speaker 1: few really really good games. And I didn't watch it
Speaker 1: all that much because that other thing to sweat. But
Speaker 1: I had, you know, obviously had it on in my office,
Speaker 1: but during the day, I mean that, you know. And
Speaker 1: then he was in my office for the first couple
Speaker 1: of hours, and then Jimmy was all day it kept saying,
Speaker 1: I don't think this kid's got it. I just, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we need some really good coaching.
Speaker 1: We started talking about some of the other guys who
Speaker 1: took a while to develop. Carry Bradshaw, who me and
Speaker 1: Jimmy Saws, you know, a young quarterback, and always say
Speaker 1: if you look at bradshaw stats and Ryan Leaves from
Speaker 1: their first couple of years, they look almost identical. But
Speaker 1: Bradshaw turned into the Hall of Famer and Releef retired
Speaker 1: after a few years. So we too early jumped the gun. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but there's something missing with too And I don't know
Speaker 1: if coaching can do it or not. Um, you mentioned
Speaker 1: that play right there. I did not be that, but
Speaker 1: I think that that kind of speaks volumes there, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think they have an issue on their
Speaker 1: hands that they need to address, and they have an
Speaker 1: early draft choice and I think they have the third
Speaker 1: draft choice, so they they have an opportunity to draft
Speaker 1: somebody instead of to and that I think that's a
Speaker 1: good possibility. Could you imagine if they did that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dolphins end up with a third pick in the draft
Speaker 1: because of the Laramie Tunsil deal, Thank you, Bill O'Brien.
Speaker 1: So they end up with a three pick in the draft.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Man, if they went a quarterback, that
Speaker 1: would be just absolutely unbelievable. As far as the game
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Buffalo, excuse me, Indianapolis at Buffalo, seven seed
Speaker 1: versus the two seed in the end, I will be
Speaker 1: betting Buffalo every which way and teasers. Teasers included obviously
Speaker 1: um part of a money line parlay. I'm sure might
Speaker 1: bet m a t S if you're getting him in
Speaker 1: seven or below. I don't know how I could be
Speaker 1: talked off that position. I just think they're playing that well.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that the Colts. Listen, the Colts
Speaker 1: were they couldn't really get past Jacksonville that easily yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the Colts. I haven't really known
Speaker 1: about them all year. Haven't felt like i've known their
Speaker 1: identity so that'll be bills for me for sure, every
Speaker 1: which way. What's number two? Next step? We have the
Speaker 1: Rams at Seattle. Rams at Seattle, all right, Rams get
Speaker 1: there by beating the Cardinals, and we gotta do a
Speaker 1: Cardinals autopsy two, just like we did with the Dolphins
Speaker 1: because I had things to stay there. Rams at Seattle
Speaker 1: Rams beat the Cardinals in a elimination game eighteen to seven,
Speaker 1: in a game that became very apparent as it went
Speaker 1: on that the Rams defense. Again I said this on
Speaker 1: Primetime Action. I'm not sure if I said it on
Speaker 1: a numbers game. The Rams defensive unit was always going
Speaker 1: to be the best unit on that football field, and
Speaker 1: boy did they show it yesterday in this game. And
Speaker 1: you knew as you watch it, You're like, there's no
Speaker 1: way the Cardinals are going to win this game. So
Speaker 1: it's a great end game opportunity. John Woolford two time
Speaker 1: a a F Player of the Week. It's the Alliance
Speaker 1: of American Football. Cristy Case, you're scoring at home. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what that was the one before last season,
Speaker 1: before the twenty nineteen season, and they didn't get through
Speaker 1: the season. Did they had to cancel it? Like after
Speaker 1: six weeks, seven weeks. Yeah, the one that was financially insolvent. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He played for Arizona in the in the a F.
Speaker 1: But John Wolf it was thirty eight yesterday for two
Speaker 1: thirty one, no touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked twice.
Speaker 1: He did carry the ball six times for fifty six yards.
Speaker 1: That was an added dimension that people knew about him
Speaker 1: from his days at Wake Forest and the a F.
Speaker 1: He he started with a pick on his very first
Speaker 1: throw and you're like, oh, this might not go well,
Speaker 1: but really gazing the game. Confidence as the day went on.
Speaker 1: But it's the defense, the Rams defense. They scored as
Speaker 1: many points as the Rams offense, a couple more than
Speaker 1: the Cardinals themselves in their eighteen to seven win. It's
Speaker 1: the third postseason birth and four years under coach Sean McVeigh.
Speaker 1: The Rams would have reached the playoffs even with a
Speaker 1: loss because Green Bay beat Chicago, but nine points uh
Speaker 1: pick six from Hill that was the big play of
Speaker 1: this game and a safety while holding the Cardinals two
Speaker 1: fourteen yards, shutting them out for the final fifty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, the defensive coordinator. His unit finishes the regular
Speaker 1: season allowing the fewest points to six and and fewest
Speaker 1: total yards eleven in the entire NFL. Rams had the
Speaker 1: ball for thirty seven minutes and fifty one seconds in
Speaker 1: time of possession. Seattle gets by San Francisco. They don't cover,
Speaker 1: but they get by San Francisco. Russell Wilson hit Tie
Speaker 1: Lockett for two fourth quarter touchdowns. Stellar defensive effort, uh.
Speaker 1: They beat the Niners twenty six to twenty three. They
Speaker 1: were down sixteen to six early in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: came back with two touchdowns again to lock it and
Speaker 1: then held on Wilson twenty thirty six one two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was sacked twice. Lock At twelve for
Speaker 1: ninety with those two touchdowns, twittered eighty tolliards all Seattle
Speaker 1: needed to win that game. But they win the NFC West,
Speaker 1: as we already knew they would. They had already clinched that,
Speaker 1: but they end up with the number three seed. Couldn't
Speaker 1: advance their seating, but they do end up number three.
Speaker 1: They're hosting the Rams, and I said, you know, my
Speaker 1: guest was Seattle was Seattle minus three? What did you
Speaker 1: end up posting? We opened four and a half and
Speaker 1: that's where we are we uh, you know, we had
Speaker 1: got some play last night, and of course we're open
Speaker 1: all night, so you know, uh, even action at this point,
Speaker 1: but nothing really significant. You know, how much does it
Speaker 1: mean to you to have golf or not have God.
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you that question. I
Speaker 1: just gonna ask you, like, was there a little bit
Speaker 1: of you watching that yesterday where you're like, huh, is
Speaker 1: this worse than golf? Actually? I that was a big
Speaker 1: game for us, another one we lost, by the way,
Speaker 1: So I was watching, man, I don't want to say intent,
Speaker 1: like there's just too much going on. I couldn't watch
Speaker 1: anything that intent. But the more I'm watching it, I
Speaker 1: kept saying, you know, this kid ain't bad, you know,
Speaker 1: And I just I handed a QBR right here. I
Speaker 1: had lost it. He was like seven D in the
Speaker 1: sixties or something like that. So I mean, even after
Speaker 1: an interception and early interceptions, I was like to you,
Speaker 1: I thought were early interception, Okay, this kid just doesn't
Speaker 1: have it. But you know, talking to people all week,
Speaker 1: a lot of guys thought that, you know, it's really
Speaker 1: McVeigh more than God. You know. On the plus side,
Speaker 1: you know it's McVeigh that made golf as good as
Speaker 1: he was and has and and you know, it was
Speaker 1: certainly inconsistent. But they're feeling was it wasn't going to
Speaker 1: make that much of a difference. You know, I needed
Speaker 1: to be shown. But the more I watched this kid, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he's not that. I'm not sure there's that
Speaker 1: big a difference between him and golf. You know, something
Speaker 1: inside me tells me there is, but you know, my
Speaker 1: eyeballs called me differently. I'm not sure that there really is.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Arizona Christy Christie got some other media
Speaker 1: back there, Uh you know sometimes ESPN it just started talking.
Speaker 1: I don't know why just have a life of its
Speaker 1: own website. Um so I had, I said, yeah, so
Speaker 1: I had three? You said four and a half. So
Speaker 1: you would think I would like race to bet the
Speaker 1: Rams here and not if it's golf. I wouldn't um
Speaker 1: teaser on the which the Rams? YEA, yeah maybe so
Speaker 1: maybe a teaser like on the Rams that would be
Speaker 1: the only thing. But I've done that with the Rams. Look,
Speaker 1: we did that with the Rams last it didn't work
Speaker 1: out right. So it's like you just I don't want
Speaker 1: to die with the Rams. Anymore than I already have.
Speaker 1: By the way, my six week sixteen in weeks seventeen
Speaker 1: Survivor selections would have won. So it is the Rams
Speaker 1: who destroyed me personally. By the way, Christie, now that
Speaker 1: it's done, can we congratulate you for being one of
Speaker 1: the Survivor finalists, the one ones who got through there? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we like to get there. I can't believe
Speaker 1: all that many people wanted the perfect Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think we knocked out anybody yesterday. No, not one.
Speaker 1: There you go. That's for Christie's Are you and your partners?
Speaker 1: Are you almost I hate to say this because it's
Speaker 1: wonderful because you end up with sixty eight thousand dollars
Speaker 1: as a check, But are you almost in a weird
Speaker 1: way deflated that so many people getting to the end,
Speaker 1: Like I hate to say that out? Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean was it two three point something million? And
Speaker 1: oh man, if we could take ourselves. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good score. I mean, as it is, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's nice, don't worry. I mean, I'm glad I wanted.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a part of me that had visions
Speaker 1: of you know, many riches, you know, halfway stood the
Speaker 1: here and it just didn't come to fruition. Uh. Let's well,
Speaker 1: congratulations nonetheless on that. Let's do the autopsy here of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals here before we go to break. But Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 1: who I was killing last week for all those fourth
Speaker 1: down calls he made, and then it finally nipped him
Speaker 1: in the butt in that Saturday game against the Niners,
Speaker 1: which really put the Cardinals behind the eight ball. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: second and seven at the Rams, thirty two, twenty seconds
Speaker 1: left and a half, Arizona's up seven to five. He
Speaker 1: has Chris Traveler passing the football and instead of just
Speaker 1: going into the half trying to kick a field goal,
Speaker 1: go up ten to five. Pick six, the Troy Hill
Speaker 1: pick six we talked about eighty four yards completely changed
Speaker 1: that football game. That's on Kingsbury to me, like, you
Speaker 1: just don't may that call. Kyler Murray ended up eight
Speaker 1: of eleven for eighties seven before he went out with
Speaker 1: a ankle injury. Straveler was eleven of six for one
Speaker 1: oh five, one touchdown, one pick, uh, two sacks two
Speaker 1: twenty total yards. As we mentioned, they lost six of nine.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals did following a five and to start. Uh
Speaker 1: as they end up now to a oh and eight
Speaker 1: versus Sean McVeigh. I guess, but eighty seven yards for
Speaker 1: Murray set out from the first most of the first
Speaker 1: three quarters with the ankle injury after he had to
Speaker 1: leave in the first quarter, and they missed the playoffs
Speaker 1: for the fifth consecutive season. Arizona would have clinched the
Speaker 1: spot in the playoffs with the victory. Murray returned for
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter immediately drove the Cardinals deep into Rams territory,
Speaker 1: but ended up with zero points. But that that play
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: hard to pick out one play that changes a football game,
Speaker 1: but if there was one, in that one, it was
Speaker 1: surely that. I just Cliff Kingsbury. Look, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: get fired or anything, but I just don't think he's
Speaker 1: that great at all. And that's an understatement. I've set
Speaker 1: it from the beginning because you know, it's never a
Speaker 1: big Murray guy. But I thought, you know, probably one
Speaker 1: of the things I didn't like about him was playing
Speaker 1: for Kingsbury, who I really don't like him. So yeah, yesterday, okay,
Speaker 1: I love Buffalo. I sort of lean Rams, but I
Speaker 1: don't want to die on that hill anymore. Those are
Speaker 1: the first two games. Will get to the third game
Speaker 1: on Saturday next and other knicks knickknacks from around the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Kirk Cousins yesterday, Well, two things from
Speaker 1: that Minnesota Detroit game. Again, I don't want to harp
Speaker 1: on games that you know, teams didn't advance the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Too long. One he was doing the gritty That was
Speaker 1: cringey enough that dance. We didn't need to see that,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, but too Fourth and goal of the Detroit
Speaker 1: one with eleven eighteen left in this ball game. It's
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty nine Vikings, fourth and one, Cousins
Speaker 1: goes back to pass. Tracy Walker just steam rolls him,
Speaker 1: perfect sack. Should be Detroit ball down to Nope, roughing
Speaker 1: the passer. I've never seen a worst call in my life.
Speaker 1: Do you see that one, Chrissy? That was truly one
Speaker 1: of the worst calls I've ever seen. I mean, really,
Speaker 1: there's just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Can you imagine Jack Lambert
Speaker 1: playing in this league? I mean he'd be he'd be
Speaker 1: fined and thrown out every single game in the first
Speaker 1: the first few snaps. Yeah, I don't you know. I
Speaker 1: said that about Jack Lambert is your you know, as
Speaker 1: a great Steeler icon. I say that about Sean Taylor
Speaker 1: from just this century, who we just you know, adore
Speaker 1: and we canonize in his passing. He could never have
Speaker 1: played in this league, could never have played in this league.
Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable. Thankfully that was of no playoff consequence.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson ends up with the most passing yards in
Speaker 1: the NFL three Justin Jefferson new record for the most
Speaker 1: receiving yards by a rookie in the Super Bowl era.
Speaker 1: And he's probably not gonna be the rookie of the year.
Speaker 1: I mean, we could say that for m v P
Speaker 1: stuff too, right, Derrick Henry two thousand yards might not
Speaker 1: be the m v P because of Aaron Rodgers. They
Speaker 1: need more rewards. It's like Shamon Secretariat Chrissy for those
Speaker 1: of a certain age. We'll come back. We'll continue with
Speaker 1: game to three on Saturday, Tampa Bay, Washington, Washington. So
Speaker 1: this is the five four Washington, your NFC East Champions,
Speaker 1: the eight fifteen Eastern, five fifteen Pacific on NBC. First
Speaker 1: of all Tampa Bay gets there. Tampa Bay was the
Speaker 1: one team we're jocking for. Seating mattered. They knew that
Speaker 1: if they won, they would get to play the NFC
Speaker 1: East champ, no matter who it was. They took care
Speaker 1: of business. UH. Fourth straight victory. UH. They get by
Speaker 1: the way with their uh their win yesterday, Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: taking down Atlanta forty four to twenty seven. Fourth straight win,
Speaker 1: the first postseason game the Bucks. That is in thirteen years.
Speaker 1: They haven't won a postseason game since their Super Bowl
Speaker 1: Championship run. To end the two thousand two season, Brady
Speaker 1: was forty one for three nine nine four touchdowns, one pick.
Speaker 1: He was sacked once. He ends up. Tom Brady does
Speaker 1: with a franchise record forty touchdown passes in his first
Speaker 1: season with the Bucks. At age forty three, forty touchdowns,
Speaker 1: twelve picks. He joins Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: and Dan Marino is the only players with multiple seasons
Speaker 1: of at least forty touchdown passes. Rogers has done it
Speaker 1: three times, the others twice. Antonio Brown eleven for one
Speaker 1: thirty eight two touchdowns, Godwin five for one thirty three
Speaker 1: two touchdowns five total yards, but the one sort of
Speaker 1: bad thing for the Bucks in victory, Mike Evans carted
Speaker 1: to the locker room with a left knee injury late
Speaker 1: in the first quarter did not return. He went down
Speaker 1: trying to make a catch in the end zone and
Speaker 1: was card into the locker room after first trying to
Speaker 1: walk off with assistance from a trainer. Bruce Arians quote,
Speaker 1: knock on wood. We don't think there's any serious damage,
Speaker 1: but we will know more in the next twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: so we'll find out about Mike Evans availability for this
Speaker 1: game against Washington today. As far as Washington, where do
Speaker 1: we begin? Uh? They became the first team in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowler to reach the playoffs fall a two and
Speaker 1: seven start, third team to win a division title with
Speaker 1: a losing record during a full sixteen game season seven
Speaker 1: and nine. Seattle did it in Caroline and both won
Speaker 1: a playoff game. By the way, Smith two of thirty
Speaker 1: two for one sixty two, two touchdowns, two picks. He
Speaker 1: was sacked three times. Alex Smith in victory over the
Speaker 1: Eagles fourteen win over the Eagles last night, which can
Speaker 1: only be described as fishy. We'll get to that, uh.
Speaker 1: Smith two of thirty two for one sixty two, two touched,
Speaker 1: has two picks, He was sacked three times. They out
Speaker 1: gained Philly two, eight to sixteen. What a barn burner
Speaker 1: it was. But I mean, where do we begin, Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Let's start in the first of all, before the game
Speaker 1: even starts. All right, before the game even starts. Here
Speaker 1: are your as we knew earlier in the week. Here
Speaker 1: are your Eagles and actives, Miles Sanders, DeShawn Jackson, al Sean,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dallas, Goddard, Fletcher Cox, Derek Barnett. Everybody went on
Speaker 1: and on and on. They had half the team, anyone
Speaker 1: who was questionable. They were like, you're out. Then Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz was inactive. And then you're like, oh, it gets
Speaker 1: even better. During the game yesterday, third quarter, Chrissy, fourth
Speaker 1: and seven at the Washington thirty five. It's seventeen and
Speaker 1: fourteen Washington. The Eagles leave their offense on the field
Speaker 1: and take a delay of game penalty, have to punt.
Speaker 1: That's the first one. Third quarter, fourth and goal at
Speaker 1: the Washington fourth. They're down seventy to fourteen. Doug Peterson says, all,
Speaker 1: let's go for it. Incomplete pass. Now that one, you
Speaker 1: could say he's just trying to win the game. Okay. Uh,
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, seventeen to fourteen. They decide, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's put Nate Sudfeld in, who was inactive for the
Speaker 1: previous fourteen games. Uh, fourth quarter, fourth and inches, two
Speaker 1: minutes left, it's twenty to fourteen. Remember Washington was just
Speaker 1: shy of midfield. It was a big moment in the game.
Speaker 1: If they don't get this first down, Eagles get the
Speaker 1: ball with a short field, Eagles jump off sides. Okay,
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson quote, Yes, I was coaching to win. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was my decision solely. Nate has been here for
Speaker 1: four years talking about Sudfeld and his insertion in the game,
Speaker 1: and I felt he deserved an opportunity to get some snaps. Unquote.
Speaker 1: Come on, Chris, what were we watching last night? Well?
Speaker 1: What are you going to find out about Nate Sudfeld
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of the last game of the season.
Speaker 1: You know so much? I don't know, I mean, but
Speaker 1: but what I mean, what's the motivation? You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that's where you know, you have me questions?
Speaker 1: What's the motivation for all this? You know? I mean
Speaker 1: they hate the Giants that bad. I mean, they're still
Speaker 1: playing Washington as a division, right. You know. Um, I
Speaker 1: just didn't understand the motivation. But you know, um, and
Speaker 1: by the way, they still covered the final number. I
Speaker 1: was the highest seven on this This game was a
Speaker 1: disaster every which way. Um, But I don't know, That's
Speaker 1: what I still need an explanation, you know, the wise
Speaker 1: what why? Yeah, because in the end they go from
Speaker 1: about the ninth pick in the draft to the sixth
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Still, I mean, look, that's not
Speaker 1: a negligible thing. I don't want to say it's completely irrelevant. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was seven seventy two. Uh, he was not good.
Speaker 1: He had a twenty five point four passer rating. He
Speaker 1: was not good through the year. But eight for thirty four,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That's the dimension. He adds sud Felt five
Speaker 1: of twelve thirty one, no touchdowns, one pick. He was
Speaker 1: sacked twice. Sudfeld hadn't thrown a pass his twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: was picked on his second attempt. He also lost a fumble.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles move ahead of Detroit, Carolina, and Denver
Speaker 1: in the draft. All could potentially be in the quarterback market.
Speaker 1: But that's that's what they did for. If you saw
Speaker 1: Sal Palestonio last night on Sports Center, he was not happy.
Speaker 1: Not happy. It's sort of like the Eagles de facto
Speaker 1: reporter for ESPN. Uh. He said, it was like a
Speaker 1: real sort of uh, goes against everything that Philly stands for.
Speaker 1: My words at his but it was very very I
Speaker 1: guess I put it this way. What makes Philly so
Speaker 1: special that they did that and none of the other
Speaker 1: teams that had nothing to play for didn't do right.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams yesterday that have been long
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs and they put up an effort
Speaker 1: because that's sort of what you do, right, that's the
Speaker 1: spirit of the game. But Philly just decided, Nope, we're
Speaker 1: not even gonna act like it. And whatever Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: said after the game, those are all lies. They just
Speaker 1: they didn't they put it. They did not put forth
Speaker 1: an effort. It was an in game extravaganza for Washington
Speaker 1: Bettors as well. And I just I don't know that
Speaker 1: one's gonna have repercussions for a long time. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go back to you know, the motivation
Speaker 1: could be three draft choices, you know, I mean moving
Speaker 1: up three spots in the draft. You know, Um, is
Speaker 1: that really the moment? I don't know. I mean it's
Speaker 1: hard to figure. But you're right though. The mantra is
Speaker 1: in listening for every individual, every team. You need to
Speaker 1: play play the game that you're getting played multi multi millions.
Speaker 1: You need to play the game the way it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be played. I had Tampa by ten. What was
Speaker 1: it in the end for you? Uh? You know, we
Speaker 1: opened seven and a half. We wind up going an
Speaker 1: aide on action. I can tell you you're talking about
Speaker 1: the Bill is going to be the big teaser leg.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be camp I'm already seeing it.
Speaker 1: So alright, we got Sunday's games to get to and
Speaker 1: when we come back, Jason conn makes a case for
Speaker 1: Washington coming back on a numbers game Vista and these
Speaker 1: sports betting that way. The last thing about the Bucks
Speaker 1: and Washington, Chris Um, you say the Bucks A lot
Speaker 1: of teaser legs on the Bucks. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: the Washington defense can really mess with a statue like
Speaker 1: quarterback like Tom Brady. I really do believe that. I
Speaker 1: just don't know how Washington scores either, so I'm more
Speaker 1: interested in that forty six and a half total that
Speaker 1: seems high to me. Yeah, I'm not the total guy myself,
Speaker 1: so that I'm not usually not my racking. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you though, before we go on. My my numbers
Speaker 1: came to Tampa nine, uh, with no home field advantage.
Speaker 1: But like I said at the beginning of the show,
Speaker 1: I think I think the home team does mean something.
Speaker 1: So the seven a half eight I'm okay with. But
Speaker 1: you know, listen, I've been around a lot around a
Speaker 1: long time. There's no slam dunk, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's there's always upsets every year, particularly in the first round.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, we'll be careful about these teasers.
Speaker 1: So all I can tell you Washington football team at
Speaker 1: FC East Champs. However, they got there all right Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: What you got, I think morning Ravens at the Titans. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is the one I mentioned at the top
Speaker 1: of the show. Five of the six of these, you know, ballpark.
Speaker 1: This is the one that I got wildly wrong. This
Speaker 1: is one of five. Eastern ten day and Pacific ten
Speaker 1: oh five am Pacific start on ABC and ESPN. Baltimore
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Baltimore gets the fifth seed. Lamar Jackson yesterday
Speaker 1: UH ten of eighteen, three touchdowns, one pick. He wasn't sad,
Speaker 1: but eleven carries for ninety seven yards. He's the first
Speaker 1: quarterback with multiple one thousand yard rushing seasons. Is Baltimore
Speaker 1: just takes care of Cincinnati thirty eight to three. J K.
Speaker 1: Dobbins thirteen for one sixty two touchdowns. They were eleven
Speaker 1: of seventeen on third downs five five total yards, including
Speaker 1: four oh four rushing. Second team in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: era to have four hundred plus yards on the ground.
Speaker 1: Fourth teams in nineteen fifty to rush for more than
Speaker 1: four hundred in a single game. Forty minutes and twenty
Speaker 1: seven seconds. That's how long they had the Bowl. UH.
Speaker 1: Tennessee gets there with a dramatic win over Houston. How
Speaker 1: many dramatic losses did Houston have down the stretch? UH
Speaker 1: fifty two yard reception by A. J. Brown moments after
Speaker 1: a fifty one yard field goal by Houston tied it
Speaker 1: with eighteen seconds left, and then Sam Sloman's thirty seven
Speaker 1: yard field goal doinked off the upright and through for
Speaker 1: the forty one thirty eight victory Tannehill eighteen seven for
Speaker 1: two sixteen but seven of thirty eight two touchdowns on
Speaker 1: the ground. That's the dimension he adds and Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: thirty four for two fifty and two touchdowns. He's the
Speaker 1: eighth player in NFL history with two thousand plus yards
Speaker 1: rushing in a season two thousand twenty seven. Um is
Speaker 1: where he ends up. Congratulations to him. We'll see if
Speaker 1: he can get in the m v P votes with that.
Speaker 1: We shall see only three of the previous seven did
Speaker 1: not win m v P. Who got to two thousand yards?
Speaker 1: Dickerson Lewis, Chris Johnson, Jamal Lewis. That is uh first
Speaker 1: player to lead the NFL and rushing in consecutive seasons
Speaker 1: since Ladanian Tomlinson in two thousand six and seven. A J.
Speaker 1: Brown ten of one one in a touchdown four total
Speaker 1: yards to eighty eight rushing for Tennessee. Uh here was
Speaker 1: my ridiculous guest where I learned I was way off on.
Speaker 1: I had Tennessee by four, Chris, and I was told
Speaker 1: it was I was told it was the exact opposite
Speaker 1: of that. And the seed by four I mean not
Speaker 1: seeing their defense the defense is awful. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: my power ratings came to Baltimore four and a half's
Speaker 1: like four, but again giving a little something for home field.
Speaker 1: I thought it, you know, I thought it should be
Speaker 1: three or three and a half. Let me see if
Speaker 1: you got that much. You know, I got a little
Speaker 1: Ravens money, not much, nothing surprising. You know, they love
Speaker 1: road favorites the public certain maybe early Bettors probably better.
Speaker 1: Um So, I I think the number might be a
Speaker 1: shade high. I think I like three a little better.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like messing around with that number right now, though,
Speaker 1: but you know, wow, that defense with Tennessee is just
Speaker 1: really it's not good. It's not good at all. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I'm willing to acknowledge that my number is wrong,
Speaker 1: but I also hate I also think that number that's
Speaker 1: up there is dreadfully wrong, like to me on retro
Speaker 1: you know, retrospect hearing that this to me is a
Speaker 1: toss up. And here's the thing with this game. These
Speaker 1: are the most game script dependent teams ever. If Baltimore
Speaker 1: goes up hard to catch, if they fall behind, they're
Speaker 1: really not that difficult to beat. They're not They're not
Speaker 1: built to come back. Tennessee is kind of the same way,
Speaker 1: although we see Tennessee has the ability at least a
Speaker 1: little more of ability to come back than Baltimore does.
Speaker 1: But these two teams met in the postseason last year
Speaker 1: when Baltimore was the number one seed and Tennessee got
Speaker 1: him and got him good. Uh, if you're giving me
Speaker 1: more than three points, this is a bet on Tennessee
Speaker 1: for me, big time, big time. My number might be wrong,
Speaker 1: but it's absolutely a bet for mead three and a half.
Speaker 1: So I don't think they don't have any trouble getting No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. D I do see um couple
Speaker 1: of spots Christ and Pinnacle wants a little bit of
Speaker 1: juice on the dogs, So maybe you want to jump
Speaker 1: in fairly quickly and get it while you can lay
Speaker 1: eleven at hand. Okay, but that's the number. I've seen
Speaker 1: nothing but three and a half. Like I got the
Speaker 1: little juice adjustments here and there, but three apps the number.
Speaker 1: All right. I like Buffalo, I like Tennessee so far
Speaker 1: the most. Alright, what's what's second on Sunday? Bears at
Speaker 1: the Saint All right? Back to the NFC, The number
Speaker 1: seven seeded Bears and the number two seeds Saints. The
Speaker 1: Bears finished the season nine and seven Saints when the
Speaker 1: NFC South twelve and four records Chicago. Uh, there they
Speaker 1: were in because Arizona fell to the Rams. Quite frankly. Uh.
Speaker 1: They're the third team since the seventy merger to reach
Speaker 1: the playoffs after losing six in a row at one
Speaker 1: point during the season. Mr Bisky Uh in Chicago's loss
Speaker 1: to the Package yesterday was thirty three or forty two
Speaker 1: for two fifty two, no touchdowns, one picky sack once
Speaker 1: Montgomery sixty nine and touchdown on the ground, nine carries
Speaker 1: excuse me, nine catches for sixty three yards. Uh in
Speaker 1: the air, five of six on fourth down. Go kept
Speaker 1: converting four downs. But they lose. They get in, as
Speaker 1: I said, because Arizona loss to the Rams. New Orleans
Speaker 1: Drew Brees played twenty two of thirty two for two
Speaker 1: oh one three touchdowns note picks. He was sacked twice
Speaker 1: in their thirty three to seven route of the Panthers.
Speaker 1: The Saints route of the Panthers time Montgomery. With all
Speaker 1: of the Saints running backs out time Montgomery was in there.
Speaker 1: Eighteen cares for one oh five and uh Manuel Sanders
Speaker 1: nine catches for sixty three yards of a touchdown and
Speaker 1: one of these great moments in week seventeen where a
Speaker 1: guy hits his incentive and moats in the middle of
Speaker 1: the game. He needed eight catches uh to reach it
Speaker 1: incentive clause in his contract and earned half a million
Speaker 1: for catching sixty passes. When he caught his eighth pass,
Speaker 1: he just raised his raised the sands while sitting on
Speaker 1: the ground. Drew Brees, We really, we really wanted to
Speaker 1: get him made catches, Breeze said. By the way, the
Speaker 1: Saints were plus five and turnovers in this game, five
Speaker 1: turnovers for the for the Panthers, but again they were
Speaker 1: without their top two running backs, including Camara and their fullback.
Speaker 1: Breeze sits out five games this season with oaken ribs.
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is nine games with an ankle injury. And
Speaker 1: I just mentioned all the running backs out due to
Speaker 1: a COVID nineteen outbreaking Yet twelve and four and win
Speaker 1: the South. Who's your coach of the year, Chris Well,
Speaker 1: I still think it's mc dermott. You're hinting strongly it's paid,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Listen everything you say about
Speaker 1: them is true, and maybe they go on to win
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I don't know, but there's a little
Speaker 1: part of me that says, you know, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: they're that great. I don't know. That's just you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why my bias is
Speaker 1: there for that, but it is. I mean, they're plus
Speaker 1: five in turnover. Just I think got hued the score
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, I don't know, And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure Breeze is capable of taking them all the
Speaker 1: way to the Super Bowl. I just I'm not I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just me, but we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: this number. My number came that, you know, seven plus
Speaker 1: I got written down here. I guess you know that's
Speaker 1: with no home field. Yeah, seven plus with no home
Speaker 1: field advantage. And as I look at it, I don't
Speaker 1: think the Bears are equipped to play with the top
Speaker 1: teams in the league. And they are one of the
Speaker 1: top teams. I understand that when I'm talking about the Saints.
Speaker 1: They're one of the top teams for sure, But I'm
Speaker 1: just not sure the Bears can compete with with the
Speaker 1: team that that is in that is at that level.
Speaker 1: We talked about the winner of the NFC being terrible,
Speaker 1: and Bears are pretty terrible too, So you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm looking here, and I mean I'm
Speaker 1: looking at my Live action right now, and I got
Speaker 1: nothing on Saints teasers or money line. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of bucks, not much, but I'm surprised that
Speaker 1: there's not more going through the Saints already that that,
Speaker 1: to me, looks like that would be the teaser leg
Speaker 1: I would like the best. I already bet a bill
Speaker 1: Saints teasers already in my account. So I'm with you, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: um yeah, I'm with you on the Saints. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I think green Bay should be every bit of I
Speaker 1: think green Bay's more of a lock. Let's put it
Speaker 1: this way. In my mind, they're more of a lock
Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl than Kansas City is
Speaker 1: in the a f C. I think that's a's and
Speaker 1: that's a combination of how Kansas City has played and
Speaker 1: their competition. The a f C is stacked, like he's
Speaker 1: just stacked with teams, and I just don't think the
Speaker 1: NFC all those teams are so flawed. Uh. In the NFC,
Speaker 1: we have one more game to get to. Uh. I'll
Speaker 1: ask you to stay for five minutes after the break
Speaker 1: here if you could Chrissy to to get to it.
Speaker 1: But give me the game and at least I'll do
Speaker 1: a little short of preamble on its Steelers, Browns and
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Of course, Uh, they played yesterday. Steelers had
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph playing, uh, playing quarterback, and they had a
Speaker 1: lot of other guys out. Pouncey and what uh leap
Speaker 1: to mind as guys who were out of that game.
Speaker 1: They lose to Cleveland to twenty two. Pittsburgh covers. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: the Browns nearly blew a fifteen point leading the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: but Pittsburgh failed the two point conversion with one twenty
Speaker 1: three left, and so the Browns clinch a playoff berth
Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand two. Since then,
Speaker 1: they've had a hundred and ninety seven losses as a franchise,
Speaker 1: fourteen double digit loss seasons, oh my god, and seven
Speaker 1: coaches since their last playoff appearance. Uh. They were winless
Speaker 1: as you were called, just three seasons ago. It's their
Speaker 1: first eleven win season since. Congratulations to the Browns and
Speaker 1: all of their fans. Baker Mayfield seventeen of twenty seven
Speaker 1: yesterday for one six one touchdown note picks. He was
Speaker 1: sacked four times six carries for forty four yards, Nick
Speaker 1: Chubb fourteen for one away in a touchdown. They did it,
Speaker 1: but Olivia Olivia Vernon suffered an ankle injury in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. He didn't put any weight on his leg
Speaker 1: while being assisted to the medical tent. He was carted
Speaker 1: to the locker room. And then rookie wide receiver Donovan
Speaker 1: People's Jones suffered a concussion late in the first half
Speaker 1: while jump in to make a catch and getting drilled
Speaker 1: by Shawn Davis. So we'll see about those two guys.
Speaker 1: They've dropped seventeen in a row. Have the Browns at
Speaker 1: Hines Field? Of course not this iteration of the Browns,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of their kryptonite. Give you my guess,
Speaker 1: Christie'll give you what he put up. Cleveland at Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: closed things out next on a numbers game at Vista
Speaker 1: the Sports Betting Nowhere. Christie, we'll get to uh your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this Cleveland Pittsburgh game and uh my line
Speaker 1: as well. See what you're posting. But first a reminder
Speaker 1: the name of the book for a Chris then one
Speaker 1: day available for purchase at Amazon, then one day forty
Speaker 1: years of bookmaking in Nevada from the Great Chris Andrews.
Speaker 1: And then some T shirts that are Chrissie related over
Speaker 1: there in the Vista store. I like your number better, Chris,
Speaker 1: Yours is coming. By the way, we ordered you one. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank X. Double X. Yes, we got the double X.
Speaker 1: As you said there was there was more available, but
Speaker 1: we want the double X with you. Last thing about
Speaker 1: this Cleveland Pittsburgh game here, uh Pittsburgh yesterday. Mason Rudolph,
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, nine for three, fifty two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sacked once, but it won't be
Speaker 1: worth anything because Big Ben will start. Claypool five for
Speaker 1: one on one in a touchdown, Dion three for ninety six,
Speaker 1: Juju six for sixty five in a touchdown. They were
Speaker 1: eight of seventeen on third downs. Pittsburgh was two of
Speaker 1: two on fourth down. I mean Cleveland really couldn't get
Speaker 1: him off the field that easily. They lost four or
Speaker 1: five this year since an eleven and oh start. That
Speaker 1: was the Steelers season eleven and oh. Then they lost
Speaker 1: four of their last five Big Ben twenty three, two
Speaker 1: and one in his career against the Browns. So the
Speaker 1: Big Ben stat career against the Browns and that Browns
Speaker 1: at Hines Field stuff. Take all of that for what
Speaker 1: it's worth. Obviously a lot of that has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with these two teams. But I wanted to get
Speaker 1: it out there once and I'll never repeat them. But
Speaker 1: I guess, Pittsburgh minus four, what did you end up putting?
Speaker 1: And you're a Steelers guy, how do you feel about this? Okay,
Speaker 1: my numbers came to five plus, you know, so again
Speaker 1: five with no home field advantage. It opened three and
Speaker 1: a half everywhere last night. I opened it four because
Speaker 1: I do really like the Steelers. So as I see
Speaker 1: it climbing now, it's pretty solid. For see a couple
Speaker 1: of straight three and a half's here, and pretty solid
Speaker 1: form that plan on staying ahead of it. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you a couple of things. First of all, you know,
Speaker 1: I've followed the Steelers a long time, and obviously they've
Speaker 1: been in the Browns division since, you know, forever. Uh,
Speaker 1: this was a huge emotional monkey off their back that
Speaker 1: would say, you know, pick your cliche for the Browns
Speaker 1: to win this game, make the playoffs, beat beat the
Speaker 1: team that has owned them for twenty plus years, a
Speaker 1: huge just you know, so I think, you know, it's
Speaker 1: hard to say they gotta let down for the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but I think it was a big monkey off their back.
Speaker 1: And I think that this changes a lot of things.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, for the Steelers, you know, they
Speaker 1: went in they knew you know what in play Ben
Speaker 1: didn't play pouncing in play Uh you know, they went
Speaker 1: in with half a loaded gun. Um. I think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be way, way different. And I know they have
Speaker 1: not finished the season strongly, and I know they have
Speaker 1: no running. This is gonna be, you know, a reverse emotional.
Speaker 1: Whatever Cleveland is feeling, you'll see the reverse for the Steelers.
Speaker 1: I think this number is way too cheap. I really
Speaker 1: thought this should be about six and a half. And uh,
Speaker 1: I do like the Steelers this week. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be very difficult to the Browns to beat them
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row, just you know, an impossible task,
Speaker 1: and I don't I do not expect the Steelers to
Speaker 1: lose this game. And I'll tell you truth, even at
Speaker 1: six and a half, I probably bet the Steelers, you know,
Speaker 1: because I think they just beat them. But I thought
Speaker 1: six and a half was a good number. If you're
Speaker 1: putting your bedding hat on, then is that the one
Speaker 1: you like the best of these six? Absolutely? Yeah, no question,
Speaker 1: how very emphatically. Uh for me, it's for me, it's
Speaker 1: you know. And again I will be clear, because Buffalo
Speaker 1: I like a teaser leg more than anything. But I
Speaker 1: think I also like Buffalo laying the points. I definitely
Speaker 1: like Tennessee getting the points, and I do like Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: laying the points. And I guess what I'm thing is
Speaker 1: I like the three a f C games way more
Speaker 1: than I like the three n FC games. Is that
Speaker 1: what you generally came to what was after Pittsburgh? For you?
Speaker 1: After Pittsburgh, I have to look around a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not that sure, you know. Um listen.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big teaser guy, you know, but I'd
Speaker 1: probably have the Saints and Bills, and a teaser would
Speaker 1: be my hunch because I'm gonna um now, I like
Speaker 1: the Bills a lot to win the game, you know,
Speaker 1: covering seven, there's a lot of fluky things that can happen,
Speaker 1: but I think they win the game. And I don't
Speaker 1: think the Bears can compete with the Saints at a
Speaker 1: level where they had a chance to win the game,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes nine and a half, I see, you'll
Speaker 1: probably see a ten on this game before post. You know,
Speaker 1: you could. I've seen the NFL games where teams are
Speaker 1: never really in it as far as, like, you know,
Speaker 1: having a chance to win the game. That could still
Speaker 1: cover a number like that, you know. So I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about you know, laying the points, but to me,
Speaker 1: the Saints and Bills looks like a really solid teaser
Speaker 1: for me. Kill Alli Xander numbers game right here at
Speaker 1: Visa and the sports betting network Visa dot Com, the
Speaker 1: Visa and at food Boast Link game plus, and I
Speaker 1: heart Christy appreciated as always, will do the same thing
Speaker 1: next week. Okay, my pleasure, my friend, Good luck you too,
