1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: Straight fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. This is straight 3 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: fire for Monday, December six. What a weekend in sports. Uh, 4 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: personally for me obviously with the kids and uh, I 5 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: played a lot of basketball Saturday morning and dominated and 6 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL on Sunday, college football was pretty phenomenal. Listen, 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: I I got I heard from many of you, many 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: of you on social media about the Alabama call over Georgia. 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: I hope you took the points. Hope you got a 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: money line. I mean, listen Nick Saban. But I explained 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: it in depth on Friday. Can't go against Saban. It 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: was like halftime. And my buddy Dan, who listens all 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: the times, is like, you were so right about Alabama. 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: I can't believe I did this. A lot of people 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: like Georgia. And again, I had a buddy in town 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: who came and hung out with me Sunday. I hadn't 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: seen him probably like six years. One of the kids 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: I grew up with him, and um, you know he's 19 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: a really good soccer player. UM played it Notre Dame. 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this Friday. Anyways, you know we're 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: hanging out and I'm talking to him about the gambling. 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: I said, listen, one of my strategies, not it's not 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: that this is no rocket science, is I'll go ask 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of people, Hey, who do you like in 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: this game? Who do you like? What do you what's 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: your best bet? What's your best pick? And these aren't 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: guys who like study it in depth or bet big, 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: big money or anything. And they are what's called like 29 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: the general public and generally fading the public works. And 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: everybody I know and their mom was on Georgia. This 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: is obviously not the only strategy. This is just one, 32 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: but everybody was on Georgia Alabama one. We'll get to 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: college football at a moment. I think the biggest story 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: coming out of NFL Sunday, which Rob G's gonna take 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: a dump on Sunday's NFL games. He didn't like them. 36 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: I thought they were thrilling. Then again, I love NFL Sundays. Uh, 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: and the Miami Dolphins covered for me. Thank you to 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: a had have been survived. Listen, I you guys know 39 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: I was overthinking this. When there's as much as eight 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: dollars on the line, you tend to overthink, so I 41 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: backed off the Eagles once I heard Jalen Hurts was out. 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: Didn't get on the gardener Minshew trained. Of course, the 43 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Jets are like beating the most of the first half, 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, boy, thank goodness, I got off. Of course, 45 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: the Jets fell apart because they're the Jets. Um I 46 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: went with Miami. It was it was a slogo. But 47 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: to listen, I gotta say this early in the pod 48 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: to have made some place, folks, I know it's only 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: the Giants. I know it was at home. He made 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: the throws you needed to make on those final two 51 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: drives in the fourth quarter. And yes, I watch that 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: game way too closely. I'm not a guy who's gonna say, oh, yeah, 53 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a really good quarterback. I don't. I 54 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: don't know about that. But he made plays to win 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: a game. And they've gone from one and seven. Remember 56 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: they started one and seven, Miamie now six and seven. 57 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: They're not out of the mix. The seventh team and 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: they and they play in the a f C playoff 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: hunt Cincinnati Bengals at seven and five, Miami at six 60 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: and seven, they're not out of it. It's it's not 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: over for two. He's playing well, Um the Giants. You know, 62 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: Mike Glennon, anytime you can fade Mike Glennon, you've you've 63 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: got to do that. But I thought the biggest result 64 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: was the Steelers Ravens ending and I'm watching it kind 65 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: of dumb struck, like what on earth is thinking? Why 66 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: would you do that? Go for two? And his logic afterward. 67 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming you did not miss the game 68 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: or the highlights at this point. But Pittsburgh is getting 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: dominated the entire game, and then they all of a 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: sudden wake up in the fourth quarter. Marlon Humphrey was injured, 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the best cornerback of the Ravens. Looks like he's out 72 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: for the season now, best slash only quarterback of the Ravens. 73 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh went up and down the field. Late they 74 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: scored seventeen and the fourth they take the lead, and 75 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: then Lamar Jackson comes right back down touchdown with I 76 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: don't like fifteen seconds left and right you kicked the 77 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: extra point, you go to overtime, right, I mean, we're 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're not a good football team. 79 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: The Ravens heading in of this within number one seed 80 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: in the a f C. Now, Lamar has struggled against 81 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: the Steelers. He did not play a particularly good game 82 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I thought he was below average, didn't It 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: looked nothing like an MVP candidate. And I know the 84 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: league is desperate every week for everybody to talk about 85 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: who's the m v P. Who who's the MVP leader, 86 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: Like Jonathan Taylor, ha ha, like Lamar Jackson. No, just stop, 87 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: let's not talk about the m v P. There's nobody 88 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: that's distinguished himself. It's Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. But 89 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: at any rate, Lamar Jackson sitting back, they decided to 90 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: go for two, and you know, I think Tony Romo 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: had the call. I'm not in. Romo was like, oh kiddy, yeah, 92 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go over, and they had the right 93 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: play call. Um. You know, it would have worked except t. J. Watt, 94 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: I believe, was the one who got in the face 95 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson. And of course the passes, you know, 96 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: right off the fingertips of Mark Andrews, and that's your 97 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: ball game. I know a lot of people are going 98 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: to try to defend hardball. You're on the road you 99 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: gotta stay aggressive. Marlon Humphrey was hurt, blah blah. But 100 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: like that, that's just insanity. Like just think it through. 101 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: First of all, if you want to play the percentages 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: the win probability according to one of those charts, uh, 103 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,119 Speaker 1: the going for the two pointer lessen the Ravens chances 104 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: of winning by like seven point eight percent or something. 105 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell they came up with that, 106 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: but that's what they did. And you've got Justin Tucker, 107 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: an excellent kicker. He's gonna make the extra point, and 108 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: you go to overtime and you take your chances. You 109 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: just went up and down the field on a Steelers 110 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: team they're terrible. You've got a great run game, You've 111 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: got Lamar Jackson. I could not believe the poor decision. 112 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Now what I care less if I had not taken 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: the Ravens in the contest, and I would take the 114 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: Ravens again. They dominated much of that football game. They 115 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: were not great, but Pittsburgh is just that bad of 116 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: a team, and um, you know, I just it's just 117 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: a disappointing loss for the Ravens. And it's funny because 118 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: if you look at the top of the a f 119 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: C number one, New England. For now, we'll get to 120 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: their best bet tonight, huge game against the Bills. Already 121 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: have action on that one. And then the contest Tennessee 122 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: number two. Nobody's taking Tennessee seriously, A j Brown hurt, 123 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: Julio Jones, I are Derrick Henry out for the season, like, 124 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: just forget about Tennessee. Although just put like an asterix 125 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: here Tennessee next week and survivor is probably gonna be 126 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: a slam dunck um. They're facing Jacksonville, which is dead 127 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: in the water, bad um. Just keep an eye on Tennessee. 128 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: And then third in the a f C now is Baltimore. 129 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: They fell from one to three. And you look at 130 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: those top three teams, and nobody's scared at all of 131 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: those teams. I'm sure you guys have looked us up. 132 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: The history of rookie quarterbacks in the playoffs. It is very, 133 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: very very bad. Um. So I'm not afraid of Mac 134 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: Jones and the Patriots in the playoffs. Nobody fears the 135 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: Titans and frankly the Ravens without Marlon Humphrey their defense, 136 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, which is already awful. One of the poorer 137 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: units of good teams in the league. The offense doesn't 138 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: really terrify anyone. We know Lamar Jackson can be limited, 139 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: and he looked very bad throwing the football. I don't 140 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: know who the best team in the a f C is. Uh, 141 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: it certainly is not Baltimore or any of those teams. 142 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: And you could try to lean on the Kansas City 143 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs and be like, well, hey, look at the Chiefs 144 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: right in four Jason. You were writing them off last month. 145 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: Yet because they were awful last month at the time, 146 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: they were a dumpster fire out of the playoff race. 147 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: It was bad. They've righted the ship and the defense 148 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: is good, but is the offense any good? I mean, 149 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: I do know you guys tried to watch that Sunday 150 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: night football clup. I don't know how they rob How 151 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: the hell did they flex this into Sunday night football? 152 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: Wasn't Is that not what happened? Because it's because if 153 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: you look at like um any of the gambling cheets, 154 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: this game is supposed to was supposed to be a 155 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: four pm game, I think, or even a one pm 156 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: I think it was a one pm game, and for 157 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: whatever reason, they flexed it into Sunday Night football, and 158 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: this was like unwatchable. I mean, Teddy Bridgewater was so bad, 159 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: like just just just I mean, it's just almost unwatchable 160 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: for much of that game. And basically, the Kansas City 161 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: offense can be shut down unless you're the Raiders who 162 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: just don't want to listen to logic um, which is 163 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: how you stop the Chiefs. The two high safeties. We 164 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: know that, and if you do that, you can contain 165 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: this offense. And the Chief's offense once again sputtered. Their 166 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 1: defense is getting much much better, no doubt, but Teddy 167 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: Bridge want to throw that game away. I don't know, Robert. 168 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs or anything special to you 169 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: or even the Ravens. No, no, And I try to 170 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: tell you a few weeks ago on this podcast, took 171 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: a lot of hate in my d M s and 172 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: in my Twitter mentions about no, the Chiefs are not back. 173 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: The Chiefs are not back because they put up forty 174 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: on the Raiders and everybody wanted to say, oh, look 175 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: at the Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelsey and after the 176 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: game I got my swagger back. Well, and then you 177 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: know what happened. Since then, they can barely do anything. 178 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: They can barely crack twenty points, you know, in any 179 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: of these last six games. I'm not going to count 180 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: this one because they had to pick six, So wipe 181 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: that from He's terrible Kelsey. By the way, sorry, three 182 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: catches twenty seven yards. They just don't get They're not 183 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: giving up any big place. The longest plays they had, 184 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: we're dump offs two running backs. Did you see that 185 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: Williams thirty eight yard or Edwards hilare nothing over fifteen 186 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: yards to the receivers. And guess what Denver was in 187 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: the game all night. I mean, Bridgewater was really really bad. 188 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams was good. He killed me in fantasy. Not good. 189 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about fantasy right now. Um. 190 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: But the other thing robbed from that, from that Steelers 191 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: Ravens game. And this to me was one of the 192 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: surprises of the week. So all season, anybody who has 193 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: turned up on the COVID list has had to miss 194 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: the game because of close contacts and they you know, 195 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: their body and they wanted to get back right. Yes, 196 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: t J. Watt was on the COVID list for up 197 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: until like Thursday. It was like t J Wat's gonna 198 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: miss the game. He's on the COVID list. Everybody missed 199 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: the game. Then all of a sudden Saturday, it's like, whoa, 200 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: what is gonna be playing? And they're like, oh, well, 201 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be on a pitch count. You know, 202 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: these guys coming off COVID, their bodies don't react well. 203 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: T J. Watt set a record this season on Sunday 204 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: for pressures in a game. He had twelve pressures, six 205 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: quarterback hits of Mark Jackson, three and a half sacks. Now, 206 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: it helps that he was facing the Ravens backup tackle, 207 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: but still coming off the COVID list, not practicing all week, 208 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: and then getting six quarterback hits and three and a 209 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: half sacks. This guy is incredible. T J. Well. I 210 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: mean really, I know, Defensive Player of the Year Michael 211 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: Parsons is in the discussion. I think from just for 212 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: this performance alone, t J. Watt has my vote for 213 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: coming back from the COVID list. So there. I said 214 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: something nice about the Pittsburgh Steelers, um Rob, I don't 215 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: want to buzz through too much more in the league, because, 216 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: as you said, it was not the greatest uh Sunday Slate. 217 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: I thought some of the games were phenomenal. Um, I 218 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: do want to quickly touch on Seattle and San France. 219 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: I saw people in my mentions, Uh, where's Trey Larders? 220 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy G stinks. Jimmy G did have two very bad turnovers, 221 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. They were without Deebo Samuel, their 222 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: best playmaker, and they basically said, hey, George Kittle, can 223 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: you win this game for us? And George Kittle was like, sure, 224 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: I'll do that, and they were right in the mix. Uh. 225 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Seattle finally woke up after a season long slumber and 226 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: they rushed for all hundred and forty six yards. They 227 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: had a UM and that including that was the fake 228 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: punt for the touchdown UM. They finally unlocked DK metcalf 229 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: and I thought that was a really good game. Rob, 230 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't I know people were unhappy. Uh you know 231 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: that Trey Lance didn't make an appearance because Jimmy G 232 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: were too bad interceptions. But San Francisco I thought played 233 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: pretty well. They just for whatever reason, there was this 234 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: roadblock that the Niners have against Seattle. They've lost sixteen 235 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: of eighteen. Kyle Shanahan at the end of the game 236 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: walked to the center of the field, Like, I cannot 237 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: believe we just lost this freaking game. I can. I mean, 238 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: they were totally dominating much of that game. There was 239 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: a wacky safety again, Jimmy g did not play well, 240 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: but they averaged six and a half yards per play. 241 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: They had a good game. Seattle was just a more 242 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: desperate team and um, let's be frank, the forty Niners 243 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: did not help themselves with a ton of penalties and 244 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: um at San Francisco still in the mix. It's just 245 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, Rob, I don't know that I buy 246 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: them as a super Bowl team. I want to make 247 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: a case because I have a Super Bowl futures ticket 248 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: on them for significant money, but I don't think it's realistic. Yeah, 249 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: I think you might as well set that bad way. 250 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm fine. I don't know if I would keep that 251 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: futures ticket. And you know, it's funny that you mentioned 252 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: this game because you mentioned a few minutes ago about 253 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Broncos getting flex in a Sunday night. 254 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: The reason why I got flexed because it was going 255 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: to be Seahawks Niners. Now, in hindsight, it probably would 256 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: have been a better game to watch. The Niners and 257 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, even though I think both teams are inferior, 258 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: vastly to the Chiefs. But um, I mean, you said 259 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: it was a good game. I think that the first 260 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: half was good. I think that was the case in 261 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: a lot of these games. Each of these games, you know, 262 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about Chargers, Bengals, you know, even 263 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Washington which ended on the Hail 264 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: Mary at the end of the game. Most of these 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: games were only good for like a half. Jets Eagles 266 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: was great for a half. It was fantastic. I was 267 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: getting I was getting blown up with text about the 268 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: Mormon Mahomes and how incredible Zach Wilson was ligatory Zach 269 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: Wilson Mormon Mahomes reference there. Yeah, I mean, and it's 270 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: just it's just unfortunate sometimes it works out that way 271 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: in in a seventeen or those seventeen game season that 272 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: you may have days like this. But I don't want 273 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: to to hurt your feelings so much about the Jets. 274 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: But did you see that video after the game of 275 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew with his dad, how fired up he was. Listen, Man, 276 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: I was into that. That's a cool video. I was 277 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: happy for the guy. I didn't understand why all these 278 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: people were yelling about the troops. What was that all about? 279 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I just random Philly meatballs, just screaming, 280 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: like who wanted to go see Gardner Minshew hug his 281 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: dad and they were like screaming about the troops or something. 282 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: Erry wacky. Um not. I'm not done with Niners Seahawks though. 283 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: These are a couple of the names of people who 284 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: scored touchdowns in that game. Travis Homer, Adrian Peterson, d Eskridge. 285 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: It was one of those games where you're just like, 286 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: who are some of these dudes? I was done. I 287 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: did enjoy the game greatly, um, even though I was 288 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: pulling for the Niners. UM two other games real quick 289 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: before we get to college um Arizona. I have to 290 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: say something about the Arizona Cardinals. Okay, I had them 291 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: in the contest. Love it um Arizona now one of 292 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: the crazier sets rob G seven or O on the 293 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: road all seven wins by double digits. And this was 294 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: not a game where you know, Kyler Murray was back 295 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: first time and over a month the only through the 296 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: wall fifteen times they did not put anything on film. Obviously, 297 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: they're huge game next week against the Rams. I mean 298 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: it's massive, um, major playoff implications. It is I believe 299 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. Um, oh no, it's Monday and football, 300 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: I think, actually, But it was basically the James Conner 301 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: Show and let's ride four interceptions from Andy Dalton because 302 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: my gosh, is Andy Dalton even still in the NFL quarterback? 303 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: He looked supremely bad. Rob Like, I don't know if 304 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be in the league next year. Bad. 305 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: That's how it was. It was awful, and there was 306 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: some rain and stuff, but this was just one of 307 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: those Cardinals performances that got me a little interest. Like 308 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: they were out gained in yardage, they were out first 309 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: down by the Bears. Um, the Bears got into the 310 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: red zone three times. It was just the four turnovers 311 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: killed him. And Robert was one of those things where 312 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm watching this, I'm like, nobody's gonna believe in this team, 313 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: this Arizona team in the playoffs, okay, and they've already 314 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: lost to the Packers. You know, at home it was bad. 315 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had no receivers and I just wonder, there's 316 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: a different vibe around this team, especially when they go 317 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: on the road. I don't it's really inexplicable. Maybe you 318 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: want to call it turnover luck, but their wins on 319 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: the road, Rob, Like, it's when you take a warm 320 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: weather team like Arizona and you gotta go play in 321 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: thirty degree weather with sleep and you dominate Andy Dalton. 322 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: A week after you went to Seattle inom One, a 323 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks after you went to San Francisco and 324 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: one um, they've been in Cleveland and they stomped out 325 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: the Browns. They went to the Rams and choked out 326 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and Company, like season opener in Tennessee. I 327 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: know that's not a tough place to play, but Rob, 328 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, man, something feels different about these guys. Yeah. 329 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: And you know what's funny, because you kind of touched 330 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: on it quickly. I thought that may have been one 331 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: of the least impressive double digit road victories I've ever seen, 332 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: because they kind of, like you said, they ran up 333 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: on him early. It was one seven and a half 334 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: and then they kind of held on. But Arizona and 335 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: I got to wear this a little bit because when J. J. 336 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: Watts signed with him in the off season. I said, oh, 337 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: because he wants to go seven and nine, you know, 338 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. He's he's going after the money, 339 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: which is fine, you know whatever. But they are a 340 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: really really good team, and I think that's probably why 341 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: so many of us, myself and I think you as 342 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: well have the Packers as the best team in football 343 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: because of what they did with the short week and 344 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: none of the receivers and what Aaron Rodger. Because they 345 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: beat that team. It's not just that they beat a 346 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: good team. They beat that team on the road on 347 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: a short week. And that's why we're also impressed with 348 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay, but Arizona, very quietly, it almost feels like 349 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: I think they have a case for being the best 350 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: team in football, because it's exactly it's just it's just 351 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: that nobody trust him, and you know, other than Adam 352 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: Schefter pumping out his availability for a college job, which 353 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: we all know is not accurate. Apologies to Adam Schefter, 354 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: but you know, Kyler Murray was now for a few weeks, 355 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: didn't matter. Uh, DeAndre Hopkins down for a few weeks, 356 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: didn't matter. And they are a really really good team, 357 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: and you would think with the way that that offense 358 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: is built, Kyler Murray being a small guy, you know 359 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: that they would be susceptible to Like you mentioned the 360 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: cold weather, the ground and pound type teams. But if 361 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: you go through the schedule, every team that they've played 362 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: that plays like a physical brand of football. They ran 363 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: through them, Titans, Vikings, you know, the Rams at one 364 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: point played physical, the Niners, the Browns, the Rams at 365 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: one point. That's your big knock on them. But yeah, 366 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: but it's just like you would never expect that that 367 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: team built that way, with that roster would be able 368 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: to win in that fashion. So I'm very I'm very 369 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: excited to see them next weekends the Rams in the rematch. 370 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 371 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: the nation.

The only other 374 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: NFL note was, um, Justin Herbert was the most impressive 375 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: quarterback I saw Sunday, And yeah, I was heavily invested 376 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: in the Chargers. Um, awesome win for them on the road. 377 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: They it should have been super easy, but you know, 378 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: it's the Chargers. There was like a quarter where they 379 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: kind of like play with their food and it was 380 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: getting a little dicey there. Um, but then there was 381 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: a mix and coughed it up and they ran the 382 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: fumble back for the score. I'm just saying robed Justin 383 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: Herbert was back. He took like a month off. Maybe 384 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: there was like a Clark Kent Superman thing where he 385 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 1: was Clark Kent for a little while and look kind 386 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: of ordinary. I don't know if you watch that closely, 387 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: but he was slinging it, I mean, impossible throws bomb 388 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: like he just he's got a canon for an arm. 389 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: This is just you know, I'm a jet guy. I 390 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: like Jack Wilson. Why am I jet guy? Was born 391 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: in New York? I know, it doesn't make sense. He 392 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: should just change and pick whatever team you like. I 393 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: think Justin Herbert is going to make the Chargers my 394 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: second favorite team in the league. That's how I just 395 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: really really like watching this guy. I like him unleashed, 396 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: not the crap we saw the last couple of weeks, 397 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: but against the Bengals, Holy caw, Rob. I was just 398 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: like in love with this. I mean, this guy's just 399 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: dropping bombs, like seriously, sixty yards on a rope. Mike 400 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: Edwards just go up and get it. And and I'm 401 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: just rob. I just these charges get they get me. 402 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: So I like watching this team. Now the defense, it 403 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: is the defense. Um, it's not very good, but Justin 404 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: Herbert for life. Well, I mean, in terms of a 405 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: pure talent standpoint, Justin Herbert is right up there. I 406 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: think he's I think he's even more talented than Patrick Mahomes. 407 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: You know, I think that his arm is comparable, but 408 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: I think he can move a hell of a lot 409 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: better than Pat Mahomes. I think he's more accurate than 410 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is naturally. Um, I don't think he has 411 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: the touch of Aaron Rodgers. But he's just he's so gifted. 412 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny. I know that you probably 413 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: didn't see this last night because you know, you're a 414 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: family man. You got other things to deal with after 415 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: these games, you know, prepping for this podcast, asked Dan Orlovski, 416 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: who has promised to come on the show, you know 417 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: in the Cup the next couple of weeks, put out 418 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: a tweet that was getting ratio to death late on 419 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: Sunday night. Here's what he said. Tape tape tape unpopular 420 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: but true. Burrow outplayed Herbert by a lot. Oh come on, now, 421 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a former NFL quarterbacks. I'm gonna choose to 422 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: defer to Dan because I like Dan a lot. I 423 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: think he's a sharp guy. But I would love to 424 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: sit and watch the thing with him to see what 425 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: he saw and why he thought that. Joe Burrow thoroughly 426 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: outplayed Justin Herbert. Yesterday, I listened. Sometimes you gotta cut through, 427 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: you gotta say some crazy stuff. I will say. Listen, 428 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: Burrow made some incredible throws with the finger injured. I 429 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: put one on my Instagram stories. Just a great dime. 430 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: But that is I mean again, that was probably the 431 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: game I watched closest outside of Miami. And what was 432 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: the other? There was one other? Yeah, but I was 433 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: heavily invested in the Charges financially, and that was the game. 434 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: Um again, I'm I don't consider myself a professional gambler. 435 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm not putting six figures on games or anything close 436 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: to that. Um, but people often ask me for picks, 437 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: and I gave out the Chargers is my number one 438 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: to several people, and so I you know, when you 439 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: give out picks, you wanna be on point and it 440 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: felt good given that out. So I watched Herbert very closely, 441 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: and there's no way on planet Earth Joe Burrow outplayed him. Um. 442 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: I just looked at their schedule. They have the Giants 443 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: and then Chiefs and then Texans Broncos Raiders, so I 444 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: think they could get into the playoffs. That was a 445 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: big one over the Bengals. Um, they just can't let 446 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: down against the Giants, which is what they do. Looks 447 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: like they're about ten point favorites next week, so yeah, 448 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: maybe that game we'll do. We'll do some college football 449 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: real quick, rob and then get to the best bet 450 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: for Monday Night football and also a couple of games 451 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: I've already bet for next week. I was, um my, 452 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: so you know, I know you guys love the family 453 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: life stuff, but m so, my daughter had the final 454 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: playoff game on Saturday, so I was I had to 455 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: miss some of the Oklahoma State Baylor game. I will 456 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: say this that ending the gold line stand you need 457 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: right now. Even if you don't like college football that 458 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: much and you just like football, Google go on YouTube 459 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: gold Line Stand Baylor Oklahoma State. It truly is remarkable 460 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: how Baylor was able to hold them off and win 461 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: that game. Essentially it knocked Oklahoma State out of the 462 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: playoff because they could not get one yard. Now, you 463 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: could argue, hid Jason, they were getting knock out anyway 464 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: because Alabama won. Fine, maybe, but there was also a 465 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: chance if they win that game over Baylor that they 466 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: get it over Cincinnati. I don't think that would have happened. 467 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 1: But nevertheless, the goal line stand was amazing by Baylor. 468 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: It's truly incredible stuff, really really fun um ending there. 469 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: I actually had my best college football weekend of the 470 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: season three oh and one on the picks from Fox 471 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: Sports and this pod. It was it was good. It 472 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: was good stuff. I'm I'm rooting for Cincinnati. You guys. 473 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: Remember Tim Brando came on and was like, CINCINAI is 474 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: gonna get shafted. I thought they would too. They're in 475 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: the mix, They're in there now. Don't get curb stomped 476 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: by Alabama in all likelihood Alabama. There's been eight college 477 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: football playoffs. Alabama has been in seven. Cincinnati, Michigan, and 478 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: Georgia combined have been in four. I mean, this is 479 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: just what Nick Saban does. And there was like, I 480 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the clip Rob of circling. 481 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: I think it was late Saturday night. Nick Saban was 482 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: like talking about the game and he said, essentially, the 483 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: media was putting out rat poison talking about how weak 484 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: Alabama is and are are. Our offensive line can't protect 485 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: because you know Bryce Young got sacked eight times against Auburn. 486 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: Well you want to guess how many times Georgia, the 487 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: number one defense in the country sack Bryce Young, Yeah, 488 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: exactly zero. I mean the freshman when in the SEC 489 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: championship game fo one yards three touchdowns against the best 490 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: defense in the country and Rob, I mean after my 491 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: daughter's soccer game and listen it was. It was a 492 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: devastating loss. You know, we we had beaten the team 493 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I had. I was a little 494 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: nervous about the rematch, um because I know they're good, 495 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: and you know that it was tied to halftime, and 496 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: they led three to after three and our team melted down. 497 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: It was it was sad. The girls are all crying. 498 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: So then I you know, I quickly left to take 499 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: my son to a basketball game. Um, he had like 500 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: a tournament in Orange County and I'm obviously watching his 501 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: game but I'm following Alabama Georgia and it's ten. I 502 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: see ten nothing Georgia and I'm like, shucks, man, Alabama 503 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: needs to do he gotta wake up that saban can't 504 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: lose this game. And then boom that Jamison Williams sixty 505 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown that changed the game. Like first quarter 506 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: Alabama could not score two drives nothing, but Georgia's defense 507 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: is for real. And then the Williams And I'm almost 508 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: certain Rob you can check me on this is. I 509 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: think Williams is a guy who trained for from Ohio 510 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: State because he couldn't play. It was like, you know, 511 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: he's sitting behind a couple of NFL picks and this 512 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: kid Williams, if you see the clip on on social media, 513 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: he does like a kind of a stop and go, 514 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: and his go after the stop was like shot out 515 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: of a can in the acceleration. He just ran away 516 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: from the two defensive backs. Sixty seven yard touchdown and 517 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: it was on and popping. It reminded me as I 518 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: and this is the cool thing about um, you know, 519 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: computers and phones and connecting to your car. So I 520 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this. I got a new vehicle. 521 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: UM kind of sort of recently, and your phone can 522 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: connect to the sound system, so like I can call 523 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: up Georgia Alabama on my game on my phone and 524 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: it can be announcing a play by play in the 525 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: car loudly, and if I need to, I get looked 526 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: out at the screen. But I'm not doing that. I'm 527 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: on the highway, and I kind of start freaking out 528 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: when Alabama starts pulling away, and then you know, you're 529 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: getting on these texts and it was just it was esome. 530 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: My son's tournament did not go well. Um, they played 531 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: two good teams anyways, But I gotta say I I 532 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: don't know why people were so enamored with Stetson Bennett 533 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: and Georgia. I know the defense is great. Listen, Stetson 534 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: Bennett can do your taxes. You know, Stetson Stetson Bennett 535 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: is not beating Alabama in the SEC Tattle. I'm sorry, guys, 536 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: it's just not happening. DeShawn Watson, Yeah he can do that. 537 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Yeah, Trevor Lawrence could do that. Stetson Bennett. Okay, 538 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: it's not happening. I do. However, I think Georgia beats 539 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: Michigan and covers a spread. It's now here's the here's 540 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: the weird thing. Rob open at seven. Instantly, I'm like, 541 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: that has to be like, that's what There's no way 542 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: before Saturday that had to have been nine or ten. 543 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: And what happens. One of the Sharper shops in Vegas 544 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Circa goes to nine and a half. Everybody else stays 545 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: at seven seven and a half. I think almost everyone's 546 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: a seven and a half. Now what does that tell you? Rob? 547 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: The one of the sharpest books that takes all the action. 548 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what the bet is, they'll take it. Is 549 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: it nine and a half? I So what did I 550 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: do I have? I don't want to say unloaded. It's 551 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: not like my biggest bet of the season reathing, but 552 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: I have put I'm all in on Georgia at seven 553 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: at seven and a half. Not it's like a juice seven, 554 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: like seven minus one seventeen or one eighteen, um, And 555 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: that's like you put a hundred eighteen bucks to win 556 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: a hundred as opposed to the usual. Um, Rob, I 557 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: don't know. Am I not believing in nothing in Michigan here? Um? 558 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's a tough matchup just because their style 559 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: of play is Taylor made for Georgia. You know, Georgia 560 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: plays that stout defense and and Michigan would like to 561 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: run the football as much as possible. I know that 562 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: their quarterbacks are playing better recently, but I know again 563 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: yeah Iowa and in Ohio state. But that's just not 564 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: that's not what wants to do. I will say. And 565 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: this we didn't even talk about this before the pod was. 566 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: I think Michigan kind of got shafted in these rankings 567 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think that they should have been 568 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: number one over over Alabama. Yep. I think that the 569 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: the the committee just did not want to have a 570 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: rematch in the semifinal game of George Alabama, and so 571 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: I think that they made a point to make sure 572 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: because they were not gonna put Cincinnati three. That was 573 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: never going to happen. They're lucky that or even there. 574 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: They want they they wanted so badly for Notre Dame 575 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: to leap frog them and something like, they wanted to 576 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: find a way to make it happen. They're just gonna 577 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: make it happen. So as soon as Alabama beat beat Georgia, 578 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: you knew that because we all expected Michigan was gonna 579 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: roll it over Iowa, that Alabama was gonna be one. 580 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: Michigan no matter what they did, was gonna stay number two. 581 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: Georgia was not falling below three, and whoever was going 582 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: to be number four. And I think that what Michigan 583 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: did in the last two games was more impressive than 584 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: what Alabama did. I think, you know, winning the SEC 585 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: is to be commended. I think Alabama is probably the 586 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: better team between them in Michigan, and I think George 587 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: is better than Michigan as well. But I just don't 588 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: think it was fair the way that they did that 589 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: and and kind of punished Michigan just because they didn't 590 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: want to want to have a rematch in the semifinal. 591 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: This is a tough one without um, Okay, what matters? 592 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: What matters most when you're breaking down who should be one, 593 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: verse two versus three, verse four? Is it the best wins? 594 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: Is it the better loss? Is it the overall strength 595 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: of schedule? Is it the advanced stats? Like I need 596 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: to know the criteria before I hear why you know, 597 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: I know you do already say Michigan, But what like 598 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: what is the primary argument for Michigan. It's none of 599 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: the things you mentioned, because, like I said, I don't 600 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: know enough. I'm gonna be honest, I don't follow college 601 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: football that closely to know what everybody string the schedule is, 602 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: to know what their best wins and all that, like 603 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: the the the semantics of all of it all would 604 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: would I wouldn't. I can't fake that. But what Michigan 605 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: did to Ohio State, what Michigan did to Iowa, and 606 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: somehow that's good enough for them to stay exactly where 607 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: they're at, Like they don't get any credit for what 608 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: they how they thoroughly demolished Iowa. It's like, well, you know, 609 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: Alabama be Georgia, so therefore they automatically jump you. And 610 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: it's like that that shouldn't that shouldn't work that way. Yeah, 611 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, well, I mean I would argue that 612 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: Iowa was terrible football. Yeah, yeah, they're they're not good 613 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: at all. Um Alabama just took down the undefeated team 614 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: that was number one, that was gonna definitely be number 615 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: one in UM in the rankings, and yeah, you can't 616 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: have that rematch, absolutely not. And what does it say 617 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: to you that Michigan's facing Georgia. You want to put 618 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: Michigan in one, but Michigan's is seven and a half 619 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: to nine and a half point underdog against Georgia. I 620 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: mean it says that I like I said, I think 621 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama are probably better than Michigan. But that's 622 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: not the way these rankings are done. It's not ever 623 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: done about who's the better team. They have their own criteria, 624 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: which is always evolving. By the way, it's never it's 625 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: never set. They don't follow the same thing consistently. It's 626 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: just however, they're feeling that weak. And I just think 627 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: in this case, they decided that they were not going 628 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: to have that that semi final rematch no matter what happened. Um, 629 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm kind of I mean, I'm moderately excited. I hope 630 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: Cincinnati puts on a good showing. And I'll say this, 631 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, Nick Saban was like, um, a month to prepare, 632 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: it's not gonna probably not gonna go well for Luke Vickle. 633 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: That being said, I think I think or Joe with 634 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 1: a month to prepare for Michigan is a little more 635 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: interesting because right now I think nobody believes that Georgia 636 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: is any good. Rob I saw like credible people, Dan Wilkin, 637 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: who was on our pod last week, was tweeting out 638 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: that are we sure Georgia should be in the playoff 639 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: and he's not the only one, And it's like, if 640 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: that's the narrative, should Georgia even be here? But they 641 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: were overwhelmingly number one and they were favored to win 642 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: the title, Like shouldn't That's a slam dunk bed, isn't it. 643 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: You gotta take Georgia here? Yeah, I mean, like I said, 644 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: for everything that I said, even though you know, Michigan 645 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: and I think they should be number one. I think 646 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: that Alabama and Georgia just better teams. So yes, I 647 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: would absolutely take Georgia giving up the points and not 648 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: worried about that. I think they roll in this one. 649 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: I think we get that rematch inevitably either way. I 650 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: just you know, what's your interest level for the rematch? 651 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: Like not that excited or excited to be honest with 652 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: Georgia's style of play doesn't get me exause didn't know, 653 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: but that's Michigan style. Yeah, exactly. You know, Like I 654 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: know that they're gray, I just don't prefer to watch them. 655 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: I really enjoy watching Bryce Young. I think he's fantastic. 656 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: He's good and the crazy thing I think he has. 657 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: Does he have two years left? Rosia redshirt? He has? 658 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: I've looked it up. I think he has to interesting 659 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: because like they're you know, if he were to come 660 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: out this year, I wonder if he'd be like the 661 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: number one guy. I don't know, we'll see.

Here's your best bet. Let's get 668 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: to the best bet here, um on straight fire for 669 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: tonight's Monday night football game. Really good game, probably the 670 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: best Monday Night or the season Bills Patriots now rob 671 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills preseason? What number one or not? I'm 672 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: maybe not number one, number two or number three in 673 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: the league. After the Chiefs all of a sudden Week thirteen, 674 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: they're only two and a half point favorites against the Patriots. 675 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: I put it in the contest. I bet it's significantly. 676 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm all over the Bills. Here the weather looks like 677 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: it's going to be garbage. Matt Jones in his first 678 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: bad weather game. And by the way, has anybody looked 679 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: up like mac Jones? You know? I know? Um Tom 680 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: Brady is ah Nora, cal I guess you have to 681 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: say that northern California guy. Um, but he went to 682 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: Michigan cold weather, went to New England cold weather translated. Fine, 683 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: what about Bat Jones Jacksonville, Florida, Alabama. This might be 684 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 1: the coldest weather game he's ever played in. I don't 685 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: know if that stat will come up tonight, but it 686 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: is very interesting. I don't know if you'll be ready 687 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: for the inclement weather. I think this is a tough 688 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: spot for a rookie quarterback. I absolutely love the Buffalo 689 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: Bills here. I know they lost Tradavious White. I think 690 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: it's a little overblown given the weather and the wind 691 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: is what's gonna be key. If you see fifteen to 692 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: twenty wins, it's gonna be a problem. Who does that 693 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: hurt more well, I mean you probably want to say 694 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: it hurts the Patriots more right. I mean rookie quarterback 695 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: who already doesn't have great receivers and now he's got 696 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: a run running game. That's gonna be going up against 697 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: the Bills run defense that got dump trucked by Jonathan 698 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: Taylor a couple of weeks ago. Do you think they're 699 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna be that bad again? At home? There are a 700 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: good run defense UM numbers wise, but they got overwhelmed 701 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: by the Colts offensive line. I don't see that happening again. 702 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: I like the Bills here, Rob. I don't even think 703 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: I can make a case for the Patriots. I think 704 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: they're criminally overrated. And I know they're one of the 705 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: hottest teams in the league and they're very good, but 706 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: they're overrated to be only to get You're not even 707 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: giving the Bills a field goal at home in Orchard Park. 708 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: Let that sinking. That just doesn't seem right. Well, the 709 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: Bills have been the Chargers East most of this season, 710 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: so it's hard for me to get too excited. I mean, 711 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: on paper, they should roll through them. On paper, they 712 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: are the best team in the NFC. On paper, I 713 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: think that they have a case to having one of 714 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: the best teams in all of football. However, they have 715 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: not played like one of the best teams in all 716 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: the football in a while, and so I trust Bill 717 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: Belichick in this spot. I think it's going to be 718 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: a closer game than people expect. I mean, even though 719 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: two and a half is not a big number, but 720 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 1: it's going to be ugly. I don't think it's gonna 721 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: be a high scoring game. I think it's gonna be 722 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: one of these ones where we look up and we're like, 723 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: we're bored out of our minds because nobody's crossed the 724 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: midfield in seven minutes of game action. And you know, 725 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: I like the I like New England plus the two 726 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: and happens a little head to head action. I believe 727 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 1: the last time we went head to head worked. Yeah, 728 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: what was it? It was the Rams and the Niners 729 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: and you had the Niners and I had the Rams. 730 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: Oh that's right, right, right, yes, yes, Now here's the 731 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: interesting I think you said, nobody crossing midfield. Total open 732 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: Roberts down to forty one. Some of the key members 733 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: are forty four, forty three, uh and forty two. All 734 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: it's blown through all those So this has the makings 735 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: of like a twenty to thirteen type game. And you know, listen, 736 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: I know, BELLI I think the only reason to give 737 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: the Patriots a chances Belichick right, it camp be because 738 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 1: of Mac Jones. Um. Yeah, so I'm all over the bills. 739 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna mess with the total because it's already 740 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: too low for this week, rob uh in Survivor, I 741 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 1: have Tennessee, which is up to ten and a half 742 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 1: point favorites against Jacksonville. Jackson Hey, Jacksonville's look bad. I've 743 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: officially bailed on them, like, I mean, that was weeks ago, 744 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: but still like, I'm embarrassed now now we're past the 745 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: point of like, I'm embarrassed that I really thought Urban 746 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence had something like, I mean, they're just 747 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: they're not They're not even showing up. The only team 748 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 1: worse than them is the Houston Texans, who looked like 749 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: an expansion team. They are hosting Seattle. I have not 750 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: used oh wait time, I don't know, maybe if I 751 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: haven't used Seattle. But Houston is really really bad and 752 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: they are eight point home dogs against Seattle. So, um, 753 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: Tennessee's an option, Seattle's an option. And then the Denver Broncos. Um. 754 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: I almost want the entire podcast without giving the Lions 755 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: a shout out. Um, sorry, there wasn't enough time for 756 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: me to take a dump on Kirk Cousins. Who is um? 757 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer might get fired today. I don't know. We'll 758 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: see um. But after Detroit won the Super Bowl, they 759 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: have to go outdoors, outdoors to Denver at altitude, and 760 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: I said the Super Bowl because they wandered home against 761 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: the Vikings and celebrated as such. They will not go 762 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,959 Speaker 1: winless and Denver probably will have Teddy b under center 763 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: if he's not there. I'm not touching this game, but 764 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: I will love Denver against Detroit, especially Swift doesn't play 765 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: Jared Goff cold Weather like, come on that. This feels 766 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: like three four to six. Denver um will be the 767 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: bet ass um for sure this week and the other 768 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: one day. It's interesting, rob and we touched on this earlier. 769 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: The Chargers ten and a half point favorites against the 770 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: Giants ten and a half Chargers. Are they giving them 771 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: chiefs level respect here? I don't know. That seems like 772 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: a big number. Anything that you like that jumps out, Robber? 773 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: Is it too early a little too early for my taste. 774 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm not a professional gabbler like you haven't. I'm certainly not. 775 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: If I was a professional gambler, I probably would not 776 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: be doing a pot That's why you're driving around in 777 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: that new sports car. It's not a sports car. A 778 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,919 Speaker 1: little little early for me. I'll get to you later 779 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: in the week on that.
