Speaker 1: December six. It was a great night in sports last night.

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Oh you love to see it when the world says

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: you can't take San Francisco. Jay, the Sharps are on Seattle.

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: They've driven the price DOWND for three and a half

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: to three. It's tough to win in Seattle night game.

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Brock Purty's first road star, Jay, what are you doing?

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: You're picking San fran All the Sharps are on Seattle. Oh? Really,

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: so we're playing the numbers game. I talked about it

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: guys all week. The Seattle team is not good. San

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Francisco very very good. Brock Purty delivers. I know they

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: dropped an interception, Well you know the Niners drop went

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: to Yeah. Love to see the Niners cover with relative

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: ease despite the referees trying to muck up Joey Boss.

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, was it Nick? Joey? I can't get my

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: boss is straight. There's just too many of them at

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: any rate. Forty Niners win and cover. A great night

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: when out with some buddies last night to watch the

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: game at a local bar, a little watering hole, hearing

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: some stories about life and sports. I will just say

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: a lot more people, it feels like, are tuning into

Speaker 1: bring new guys on. This guy. I'll just tell you

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: the backstory. I met him at the two thousand twenty

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I was just at a party. This guy

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: into it on the pod. But since then, you know,

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: I told to people, Hey, this guy's into gambling. He's

36
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: a comedian. He's kind of good, like take a look,

37
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, he's moved on up. Alex

00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Monico is a podcast at the volume. He does a

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: gambling show on MSG in New York. You're gonna love it.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: We go through every Saturday and Sunday game we don't

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: touch the Monday one. Apologies, we differ on like three.

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: You guys can side with Alex or you can side

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: with me. And then at the end of the podcast,

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I will give you my best bets for the weekend,

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: and then of course the World Cup finale on Sundays.

46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: You couldn't tell from the pot all week my interest

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: in soccer. I'm very geeked for Argentina France go Leonel Messi.

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: All right, quickly on the Niners and Seahawks. So San

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Franz pretty much dominated the entire first half. It was

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: not close at all, and Seattle tried to make it

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: a game in the second half, but alas could not.

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Now here's the real story. Just how good is Seattle

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: is the question. The answer is, I think they're a

54
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: below average team. I think San Francisco's defense is really

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: really strong. Here's how I know. If you think Seattle

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: is good, and you might believe that, hey there's seven

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: and seven. You know they were projected to win like

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: six games. So they've played two football games against the

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Niners this season. They've been thoroughly dominated by the Niners twice.

60
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: They have reached the red zone against the forty niners

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: in two entire football games. Twice. That's it. Two trips

62
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: to the red zone for Seattle. They scored in the

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I don't want to say San Fred was

64
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: in preventive, but they finally conceded an offensive touchdown. Could

65
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: not do it. And that's why this whole Carol owned Shanahan.

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Just some of this gambling analysis out there. Listen. I

67
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: know you guys listen to a lot of podcasts. I'm

68
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: sure you listen to a lot of gambling. It's like

69
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: when you're going to buy a car or buy a house.

70
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: You don't look at one and then just decide this

71
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: is the house or this is the car, this is

72
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: what I want. You look around, You take your time.

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: When you're finding a future partner, you don't just marry

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: the very first girl you meet. You gotta shop around,

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: see what's out there, Spend some time checking out the

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: opposition or in this case, the other gambling pundits. I'm

77
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: just telling you, guys, if you were riding with Seattle

78
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: because the sharps were on them, this is never remotely

79
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: close to the right side. Seattle four point five yards

80
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: per play. Gino Smith thoroughly perplexed by the Damiko Ryan's defense.

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: I was not even again. I was at a bar

82
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: watching with buddies, and I see on the final drive.

83
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: You know, mccaffe had a big game. I see this

84
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: new guy in Dreadlocks twenty four. I didn't want to

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: call up my phone and look him up. I'm like,

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: who is this guy? Mitchell's out, I don't know who

87
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: the help. I don't know who this guy is. And

88
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: I was getting upset because I'm like, if he fumbles,

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: because he's some guy in there from McCaffrey and Seattle Recovers,

90
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: they could come in them back door, you know, and

91
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: and and cover, sweating it a little bit. And then

92
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: this kid peels off a run fifty five yards and

93
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: it was awesome. His name, by the way, if you're

94
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: not familiar with number twenty four the Niners, Jordan's Mason.

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: This is the Cayle Shanahan system. They can plug in

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: a rookie from Georgia Tech named Jordan Mason who you've

97
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: never freaking heard of, and he can deliver when it matters.

98
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: Because McCaffrey got you there. This was a big game

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: for George Kittle. If you're starting George Kittle and fantasy

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: as obviously should. George Kittle probably had his best game

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: in the season, four two touchdowns, just abusing the Seattle

102
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: secondary linebackers, all of it. Folks. You know I made

103
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: that bet on Cowherd show. It was foolish in hindsight.

104
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are so bad. If they finish above five,

105
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I'll shave the Seahawks logo in the side of my head.

106
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: So they have three games left, they have to win two.

107
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Next up at Kansas City. I'm gonna go ahead and

108
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: guess the Chiefs are seven and a half, six and

109
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: a half or seven and a half probably in that ballpark.

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: Then the Jets they close out with the Rams. And

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: the biggest problem, of course, is it's in Seattle and

112
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: the Rams are terrible. Now, maybe Baker Mayfield turns them

113
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: around and something miraculous happens. But bottom line, I need

114
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Casey obviously to win, and then that puts it on

115
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: Can my Jets seal it and get the win over Seattle? Now,

116
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: Seattle could fall out of the playoff hunt. That's how

117
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: dicey it is. They're already not top seven and the

118
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Washington Taylor Heinekes, Yes, that's the Washington Taylor Heinekes. If

119
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 1: they beat the Giants, they now go up a game

120
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: and a half on Seattle. This would be just a

121
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: pretty calamitous fall. Now, again, there were low expectations coming in.

122
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: They're similar to the Jets. I know that Seattle of

123
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks fans won't want to hear that they're similar

124
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: to the Jets. And Jets season expectations were nothing. Then

125
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: they were in the playoff rund for like, I don't know,

126
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: six weeks exciting, awesome, Are we gonna make the playoffs?

127
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: And then they fall out. Well, we we outkicked our coverage,

128
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: we exceeded expectations, we were playing above the room for

129
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: most of the season, but we didn't make the playoffs.

130
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 1: To me, that really hurts because now you're not getting

131
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: a top ten pick, right you're settling for like thirteen

132
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: seventeen ish, and that's terrible. You're not gonna get an elite,

133
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: elite player. By the way, the Jets draft last year,

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: it was awesome because they had so many picks. Thank

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: you um to the Jamal Adam Steel. But if you're

136
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Seattle right now, you basically have to hope that the

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: Jets beat the Lions because Detroit is coming. If Detroit

138
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: beats the Jets, and yes, they will be featured in

139
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: Best Bet. I mean Detroit will be tied with Seattle

140
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: for at seven and seven, and that's for the eighth spot.

141
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: Let me just quickly see if they played this year.

142
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: They did, and oh, Seattle beat them five. I don't

143
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: know how I forgot that. Sounds like it was a

144
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: rip roaring affair. Oh it was a blowout. Uh Detroit

145
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: storm back in the fourth quarter. Jeez, looks like a

146
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: wild game. I don't know how I forgot that one.

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Oh that was like when we're shod Penny was playing

148
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: yet a monster game. So actually, yes, Seattle as the tiebreakers,

149
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: so they do want the lines to lose. Folks. You know,

150
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I know there's not a ton of Seattle Seahawks fans

151
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: tuning into this podcast. I just don't think they're good.

152
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: I think we realized Gino's limited and they need to

153
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: consider a quarterback with that Denver pick high in the draft.

154
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: As for San Francisco, I don't know how you guys

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: can doubt brock perty. I'm not saying he's great, but

156
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: when you can have Shanahan scheme, it up. You can

157
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: open lines, open holes behind Trent Williams for McCaffrey, just

158
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason, Deebo Samuel is going to be coming back,

159
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo maybe coming back. Eagles fans, this team

160
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be tough you, I don't think obviously, if

161
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: you're the Eagles, who would you want to host in

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game. I guarantee you'd rather take the Cowboys.

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: You'd rather take the Vikings. You don't want to see

164
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco teams now steam. Alright, without further ado, let's

165
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: get to our guest, Alex Monaco. Jason likes to think

166
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: he knows everything when it comes to sports. I know

167
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: what sports stands want, but for everything he doesn't. He

168
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: knows a guy who does. Let's just say I know

169
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: a guy who knows a guy he knows another guy.

170
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome into straight fire. First time guest.

171
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: The backstory here is crazy. I met I was at

172
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl party. I think it was Jay Glazers,

173
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Miami two thousand and twenty, right before the pandemic. That

174
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: was like the pandemic where the flight home was looking

175
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: for masks and I finally got one and I go

176
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: on the airplane with a mask. I gave Cowherd to mask,

177
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: and then like nobody was wearing him on the flight.

178
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell? This is weird. And then

179
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: of course, you know, the world shuts down. Two months later, anyways,

180
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: at this Jay Glazer party, this dude comes up to me,

181
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: high energy, talking gambling, is like a fan. I was like,

184
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,240

185
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: on MSG. He has a gambling podcast with Cowherd's Volume

186

Speaker 1: he started this in the early osh we were still

267
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: watching programs at actual times and he's still cranking. It's incredible.

268
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, so l D's a huge influence. Stigin felt

269
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: a huge influence. Um, yeah, you know a lot of

270

Speaker 1: Sports Contest. I've had a good run, and I need

279
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,040

Speaker 1: week and you give out picks as we do, you

281
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,960

00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: him like ship, there's not much here. No, I feel you, man,

285
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000

00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I took I take the

289
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: Giants with the points. I thought that was the right play.

290
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: I backed the Titans, even though you hate the three

291
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: and a half divisional home favorite. Jacks won one road

292
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: game since Oakland in Oakland, so you know some bad beats.

293
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: But I've I've dialed in. I've only had two losing

294
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: weeks on the volume Weekend podcast of fourteen. So you know,

Speaker 1: we've gone three and two or better out of out

296
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: of twelve fourteen. So I'm pretty dialed and I feel

297
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: good about the car. Let's let's get in right, all right,

Speaker 1: let's start with Saturday. I have nothing on Colts Vikings.

299
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: I feel like every Vikings game is close. I don't

300
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: know what the hell the culture gonna do off the buy,

301
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,520

00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: have a serious uh itch on this one? Do you

303
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: want to talk about? I mean, the only thing I'd

304
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: say is that the Vikings are still minus in the

305
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: point differential and the Culture off the largest fourth quarter

306
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: embarrassment in the history the NFL. No one has been

307
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: outscored thirty three nil. So you know you getta buy

308
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: to sit on it four and a half. I mean,

309
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: but it's over. Yeah, No, I know. That's the thing.

310
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Are they by week? Are the Colts players thinking about

311
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: what they're gonna get their girlfriend there jump off there,

312
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: the girl they have in another city and they're seeing

313
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: their family, or are they thinking about the Vikings next

314
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: week because the season's over. It's a good point. And

315
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing. And this is do. I work with

316
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: some some guys on My Boy are Colin by the way,

317
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: um loves uh loves the hurt as well my guy

318
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: on the other show on MSG, but former Jet and

319
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: we talked about it, and towards this end of the season,

320
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: with teams that don't have anything to play for, they'll

321
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: start replacing veterans with young guys just to get reps. So, yeah,

322
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: to your point, I'm a little nervous about that with India,

323
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: especially with Jeff Saturday on the Bob Wiser hot seat

324
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: here only one win since Vegas. Yeah, well, I'm not

325
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: touching it, but I'd probably lean. I'd probably lean Indie Man,

326
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: but I would not touch it with a ten football. Okay,

327
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: So both more at Cleveland is the midday game on Saturday.

328
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: This is interesting. We're recording this Thursday afternoon. Tyler Huntley

329
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: was just cleared from concussion protocol. He got a full

330
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: practice in and it's he's in line to start. Now,

331
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: what's weird. Alex's got quarterbacks, especially they get the concussion,

332
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: usually are out at least a week. So this is

333
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: now Baltimore on a short week. Quarterback. I don't know

334
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: if you saw the hit Minca. Fitzpatrick looked like he

335
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: four arms shivered the guy a flag was thrown at

336
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: any rate. Um Cleveland's favor by two and a half.

337
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: It looks like it's headed towards three, Alex. I think

338
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: I want to lay it with Shaun Watson. Nobody wants

339
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: any part of the Browns at this point. Their season's over.

340
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: Watson looked like awful the last two weeks. Can you

341
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: make a case for the Browns here? I mean, you

342
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: can make a case, Jason, But I actually feel really

343
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: good about the Ravens with the points here these a

344
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: f C North dances, whoever's the dog ends up covering.

345
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean you look at head to head here and

346
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: again you can't go too much on the back story

347
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: because Watson and Hunley, you know, trends wise not huge.

348
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: But I just look with my own eyes here, Like

349
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: you guys talk about on the show, what what have

350
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: we seen with this Brown's offense in the last two weeks?

351
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: You get too defensive touchdowns and the Donovan's people, Jones

352
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: special teams. You put up six with the offense. You

353
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: steal a victory in Houston twenty seven points six were

354
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: from the offense. Yes, he looked a little better last week.

355
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: And the Bengals are a top third team D for

356
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: the most part but one touchdown. He he's put up

357
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: essentially ten points and six points, so sixteen points in

358
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: eight quarters against the top eight D here. And this

359
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: is what the Ravens do. You know this, Jason. They

360
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: they muck it up. They make you play their style.

361
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: And we're talking about a top three rush team one

362
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: sixty two per first, bottom eleven rush team and a

363
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: bottom four points against defense. This Browns team is unwrantable.

364
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: So I I, well, I do think it's a good

365
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: get right spot. I mean, the man missed seven hundred

366
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: days without touching the football and and Chup's production. I'm

367
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: in Fantasy laoffs with Chubb. I got bounced. I'm not

368
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: happy about it. They're trying to appease and force the

369
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: issue with Watson and again they're not playing for anything

370
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: except for I think tim team chemistry for next year.

371
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: You mean to tell me the Texans give up one

372
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: sixty five on the ground and Chubb runs for eighty

373
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: two weeks ago and then thirty four verse the Bengals.

374
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: This is the top three running back in the league.

375
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: So they've gone away with their game plan, I think,

376
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: and they're just trying to figure out chemistry. So I

377
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: gotta lean with the third best road cover in the league.

378
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: The Ravens are five and two against the spread. I

379
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: know they got a loss coming. I know that was

380
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: a little long winded. I just the team that's given

381
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: up eighty one on the ground and the eighth best.

382
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: Either're gonna have to make Watson beat him? Will he?

383
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: I gotta take the Ravens here. Interesting. Um, yeah, there's

384
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: not a lot to like about the Browns, which is

385
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: kind of why I like him here. But you and

386
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't have numbers to back it up. But usually

387
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: the week after raven Steelers is always a come down.

388
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: That's always a body bag game. And you know, the

389
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: other thing with the quarterback is like they're rushing him

390
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: back from the concussion to try to, you know, keep

391
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: pace with the Bengals, who can't lose a game. He's

392
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: one hit away from us seeing Anthony Brown trying to

393
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: finish the game. And remember no Ronnie Stanley on the

394
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: left tackle Myles Garrett. I don't know well, but Dobbin's

395
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: back though domin last week was huge. That's a big rationale. Alright,

396
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: so let's go to the night game Saturday, Miami at Buffalo.

397
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: We know Miami three straight road games. Anybody who didn't

398
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: sell their dolphin stock like three weeks ago was an idiot.

399
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: His team is so overrated. Um, all the other numbers.

400
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: I think I saw I read something where to in

401
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: the four coldest weather games he's played is owing for

402
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: The stats are horrible and none of the games have

403
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: been closed. And I heard and I heard and I

404
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: heard you guys going back and forth on two and

405
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: the tebow comparison. It was it was count I thought

406
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: that was a little offty deep end, but it was.

407
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: It was interesting, though, hot take. And you know the

408
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: Miami fans are just so angry. Um, it's it's not

409
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: a buyer in tah Yeah. No, I'm with you. You've

410
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: you've you've been on. You've been on both these teams

411
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: pretty well this year, I think again, Bills at home

412
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: four straight again, you guys were talking about it to

413
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: the weather. What are we gonna see? I'm up here,

414
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: it's freezing, but I'm not I'm not seeing snow yet.

415
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: So in forty eight hours, i'd lean Bills. They've been

416
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: great in the last four weeks. It's a divisional dance.

417
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they just got embarrassed on Sunday night. I

418
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: was so mad at Miami for their game plan going

419
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: against the bottom rush. D didn't even try to run

420
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: the ball against the Charger. So whatever McDaniel in his

421
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: game plan has been working first half, I'm not seeing

422
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: it in the second half. I probably swallow the seven here.

423
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: You would take Miami. No, no, no, I'd swallow the Buffalo.

424
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: And I don't love it, but I'd lean. I'd lean

425
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: my sup. Yeah, I think it's gotta be Bills are passed.

426
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: Obviously the revenge spot before that game in Miami earlier

427
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: this season. And by the way, the Bills I think

428
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: had two times abount of yards at Miami, didn't that one.

429
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has absolutely killed Miami. Yeah, actually two road games.

430
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: Think about this. You you go, San Franz, stay out

431
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: West Chargers, come back to Miami and then up North

432
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: in a short week. Like, I don't know, man, it's

433
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: a great point, and he does he owns them. Is

434
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: that he had a seven game win streak against him,

435
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: seven and two against him, and you know us and

436
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins don't cover on the road. Their unbelievable. Don't

437
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: know what's going on in a span Tura laces how

438
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: Land down there at home? They cover at home, they're

439
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: they've covered one time in the last six on the road.

440
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: I think we gotta go Bills. Okay, So Sunday, I'm

441
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: gonna skip the Desmond Ritter game unless you I mean,

442
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: I may end up betting the Saints, but I don't

443
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: know that Desmond Ridgus had two weeks to prepare for

444
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: this at any rate. Jets Lions, I'm looking at this

445
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: now again. Thursday afternoon, it was pick them yesterday Mike

446
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: White upgraded Jets now one and a half. Now we

447
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: know Alex limits get raised as you get later in

448
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: the week. I'm gonna go ahead and assume this isn't

449
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: the public hammering the Jets. The public loves Detroit offense

450
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: six straight covers or something ridiculous like that. I I mean,

451
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't need to make the case to you, but

452
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: I am on the Jets here. No, I love it.

453
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: I know you're when you emotionally fire at the book,

454
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: you hate it because you always feel like you're overthinking it.

455
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: Betten with your heart not your your overall gambling document.

456
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: But this six is seven windstreak here for the Lions, Jason,

457
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: who have name a top ten defense that they've beaten

458
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: in the last month and a half, You can't because

459
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: they haven't beat a top ten defense. And there was

460
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: so much positive to take away from the Jets last week.

461
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: Not to be homer as I'm talking to a die hard,

462
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: but fource an hour to go two for thirteen on

463
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: third down again, he barely throws for over what one

464
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: forty five is. That's two outings against one of the

465
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: best in the business, and they've got them barely over

466
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: one forty. From a passing standpoint, you got a fourth

467
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: rank passing defense against this Lions team. Six ranks d

468
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: overall and they get to the quarterback top five. I'm

469
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: looking solely at the Costco sample size of the Jared

470
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Goff California Kid in the Northeast just a month and

471
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: a half ago against the Patriots. It's a very similar

472
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: stylist game and they lose twenty nine nothing. Jared gott

473
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: I loved, I love the storyline. Cali kid. I'm gonna

474
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Southern California soft kid. I'm crying tears of coldness walking

475
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: to work here in New York. I can't hang Jared

476
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: Goff will not hang in MetLife on Sunday against this team.

477
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: And to be honest, the Jets and you know the station,

478
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: they've only lost back to back just this last week

479
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: there four and one straight up after a loss. This

480
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: is a pick up game, a ton of pride. I

481
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: love the culture, and they're gonna have to run the

482
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: ball on this team because they're not gonna throw on him.

483
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: I think this is this is gonna be a Jets

484
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: win as long as Mike White is all right, shout

485
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: out White, lotus. I was saving this for uh Friday's

486
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Cowherd Show, but I do need to point out Robert

487
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: Sala has dominated Jared Goff head to head. Sala back

488
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: when he was in San Francisco. The two worst games

489
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: Goff has had statistically in his career came against Robert

490
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: Sala defenses. And I know San Francis good defenses, but

491
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: let's be honest. The Jets are top five, maybe top

492
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: three defense in the league by most metrics. Now, Quinnin

493
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: Williams is what worries me, because if you stand that

494
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: he is his day to day Yeah, he hasn't really

495
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: practiced this week. I don't I don't feel great. Fox

500
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: of the Giants nine point favorites on the road in Chicago.

501
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: I've done so little on this that I haven't even

502
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: checked the weather in Chicago to see what it's like.

503
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: But this is what I do know. Philly has its

504
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: game of the season next week against the Dallas Cowboys

505
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: in Dallas. The Cowboys, according to look aheadline, the Cowboys

506
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: are gonna be favored in that game. Like a parson

507
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: just talking about Jalen Hurts. It's like, what are we

508
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: doing here? Are they focused on this game? I don't know,

509
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: But for me here it would be Chicago getting nine

510
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: or nothing. I can totally see Sirianni and Hurts and

511
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: company thinking about the Dallas game not being as dialed

512
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: in and you know, struggling to victory or something. Yeah,

513
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: well said, I'm too much more to add. I'd go

514
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: Chicago or nothing. I mean again, both teams are our

515
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: top three run teams. So this Philly team is great defensively,

516
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: they turn the ball over a great pasty, but they're

517
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: giving up over a hundred on the ground, so you

518
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: you can you could probably make a case that the

519
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: Bears cover this nine, especially with the extra prep. And yeah,

520
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: great thought on the look ahead spot. It's the ultimate

521
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: look ahead spot. Nine. That's a huge number number. Well,

522
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: they did just cover seven for everybody except you against

523
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: the road. Well, I will say, and this is part

524
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: of my argument. They the Eagles prior to the last week,

525
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: it only covered one time on the road, so undefeated

526
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: straight up. But again, the game within the game, we

527
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: play a t S one cover. Now to back to

528
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: back road games, I gotta take Chicago. Part of my

529
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: logic for last week was the Giants had that Sandwich spot,

530
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: I know, what's to do visional game last week, but

531
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: they have Washington this week for their season, and I

532
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: thought like, Okay, if if the Eagles go up a

533
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: couple a few touchdowns, just you know, Dable is gonna

534
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: be smart and pack it in not a lotta say

535
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: quad in the second half, and kind of that's what happened.

536
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: But next game Pittsburgh Carolina I don't know who's starting

537
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I've seen some Mason Rudolph chatter, so I'm

538
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: not I don't think I'm gonna go there. That being said,

539
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: with Kenny Pickett, it was minus three on the look

540
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: ahead now Carolina minus three Sam Donald ling points against

541
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. I don't think I want to touch that

542
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: for now. But let's get to the interesting one Dallas Jacksonville.

543
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: So Alex yelled at me if I'm an idiot, that

544
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: being go ahead and yell you. But I've been looking

545
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: at this. Somebody put me onto this a few years ago.

546
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: And teams that did not cover the prior week against

547
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: teams that did cover. If you want to find the

548
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: biggest adjustments in Vegas, that's where you find it, and

549
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: that's where you can find a little bit of an edge.

550
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: It's not like the end all be all, but and

551
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: I have I have like a notes document on my

552
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: phone where I keep all this stuff. So there's eight

553
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: of those games this week, and Cowboys Jaguars is one.

554
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: The Cowboys don't cover a seventeen point favorites. Jags do

555
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: destroy Tennessee on the road. I think they want by

556
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: like eighteen or twenty something like that. All of a sudden,

557
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Dallas was minus six on the look Ahead and now

558
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: it's down to four, and there's just wave of oh Jacks,

559
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: let's I think I want a bit Dallas here, but

560
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of But the Philadelphia game next week has

561
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: we probably having to skip this one because I think

562
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna show up an impressive performance. But Doug Peterson,

563
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville coach, has faced obviously the Cowboys and the

564
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: Quinn defenses. Um, I don't know, man, I'm a little nervous,

565
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: so I'm probably gonna skip this game. But I'm curious

566
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: if you're on it. No, I'm very very much skipping this.

567
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm swiping left. There's no there's nothing to like

568
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: the look ahead. You made it a great point. How

569
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: do we feel good about that? And then and I

570
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: had this inkling last week in the Battle of Texas.

571
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Is their extra pride as we all know high school

572
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: sports and onwards in Texas football and look at the Texans.

573
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Dallas probably mailed it in all week at practice, took

574
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: it easy, slept walk. I would expect they probably came

575
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: in a little more buttoned up this week for sure,

576
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: but man, and this is the same number three weeks ago,

577
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: whenever it was four and a half at home Jack's

578
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: hosting the Ravens. I took the Jacks with the points

579
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: because of the number. It's a it's a big number.

580
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know how you don't lean Cowboys here

581
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: to get right. Jacksonville has been so jackling. I don't

582
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: know what to take. I mean, they're the only team

583
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: that's won lost by this year. Yeah, so we're in

584
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: lockstep there again for a favor by three against Arizona.

585
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: This is I believe Brett Rippon. I'm gonna assume that

586
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: because Russell Wilson was like glass eyed. He looked done

587
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,479
Speaker 1: against Colt McCoy Arizona short week. I can't, I definitely

588
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: can't lay three with Brett Rippon. But this Denver defense

589
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: is going to keep it close. Uh it's a pass

590
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: for me, I think, But anything from you know, I'd

591
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: probably rather read the dictionary than watch this game, to

592
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: be honest. I mean, geez, to Madden seventy seven's one

593
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: of them, probably doesn't have a photo. I'm all set,

594
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: But you gotta go with the better defense, right, I mean,

595
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: that's what that's how I would look at the game.

596
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: I take the better d that that didn't even really have.

597
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Uh they had three pigs against my home but I

598
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: not really a great outing. But yeah, it's a pass.

599
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: Uh New England is can this be right? There? At

600
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: one point? Dog in Vegas? It's right, it's right. My

601
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: Daniels is favored over Belichick. Listen, I'm calling me crazy.

602
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm going down with the Raiders. I have not. I've

603
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: been I've been off on the Patriots for three weeks.

604
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: I really thought the Cardinals Monday night with the points again,

605
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: I was I was cold, so I wasn't feeling feeling

606
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: too confident. But I really thought this Patriots team who again?

607
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: And I think the numbers around eighties something percent of

608
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: their wins here are against back up quarterbacks. Literally go

609
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: through it. You beat Sam, you beat Ellen Ellinger, Jacoby

610
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: per said it was on your team for how many years?

611
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: You should have? You beat MITCHI true Biscuits, You beat

612
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson twice, and you beat McCoy last week. Where

613
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: is the impressive win? So it's yes, it's a hot,

614
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: cold team. And Matt Jones, I say what you will?

615
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I personally think he's rather unwatchable. I mean, sixteen sixteen

616
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: turnovers in his last sixteen starts, seven tugs, eight picks.

617
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: This year, you're leading receiver as a running back. But

618
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: this game, to me, I love the bounceback spot. You

619
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: know this, Colin talks about it. You echo the same sentiments.

620
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: A team gets embarrassed on Natty TV, and again that's

621
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: never happened in franchise history. Up thirteen four to go.

622
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: You blow it to bake to Progressive Insurance of all things,

623
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: and they're coming back with extra week to prep. The

624
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: problem is it's it's it's mentor versu understudy. I just

625
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: did this whole song and dance, and I took Shanahan

626
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: over McDaniel. I don't know where this chess smatch of

627
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: all these years in practice, McDaniel going against Belichick the chess.

628
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: It's a rivening thought from a coaching perspective. I'm gonna

629
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: lean Vegas here because again Denver's given up twenty plus

630
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: four times this year, and two of those outings were

631
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. They score against everybody. So I'm gonna lean.

632
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leaning l V and a pick him here.

633
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: Now that's Okay. I think that's probably where we have

634
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: a divide, a little divide. My interested first thought is

635
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Belichick first, McDaniels. I gotta take Belichick. But there are

636
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: a couple of things short week. Remember they went to Arizona.

637
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: I was reading that Belichick is staying out west so

638
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: they can just go to Vegas instead of have to

639
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: go home and then come back. They're not in Las Vegas, obviously,

640
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: there's some surrounding area that might be Arizona, and I

641
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: you're I'm with you. Though I don't like mac Jones.

642
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't like anything about that offense. I've never heard

643
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: of that. Some of these players, like the running back strong,

644
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 1: Who the hell is that? And I watched them bet

645
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: on college football. So it's a tough one. This is

646
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. This is a tough week. We're going

647
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: We're going down almost every game. Let's see, shoot, but

648
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: we're going. I I just feel like, oh, here we go.

649
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Here's one that I liked that. I think you're probably

650
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna hate. Tennessee at the Chargers. The narrative is Chargers

651
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: can't stop the run. Tennessee comes in with Derrick Henry,

652
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta take the points. With Rabel as

653
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: a dog, I would say the Tennessee Titans are so

654
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: beat up and the Chargers are finally healthy offensive line

655
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: getting back Linsley back at center. This could be the

656
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: Bosa return this week from I R I think he

657
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: was activated, but it's a matter if he could practice

658
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: or not. I kind of want the Chargers, and you're

659
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: not supposed to lay points with with the Chargers. Don't

660
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: tell me that. Look, this is the Chargers. You back

661
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: them when they're getting points, your fadom, when their favorites.

662
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the story I've I've literally aged years

663
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: rooting for the this team in the a f C West,

664
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: only to watch Spano's go up the five freeway. I

665
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: I look at it. I look at it like this.

666
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: It's exactly what you said, without going too much into it.

667
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: Chargers give up seven on the ground, Titans eighteen and

668
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: two when Henry goes over one twenty. He did it

669
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: last week. It was only their second time they didn't.

670
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened with that game plan. They're

671
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: running the ball down the jack's row. They stopped running

672
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: the ball. What are we chewin? So again, the Chargers

673
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: eight of their last nine, or by seven or less.

674
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: They make it close, they make it ugly. I'm gonna

675
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: go coaching here. They haven't lost three in a row

676
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: under Fable. They haven't lost four in a row since

677
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: j Max. So I mean Chargers again, and and the

678
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: public is on the Chargers depending where you look at

679
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: your splits. Yeah, they just beat Miami Island game. Oh yeah,

680
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean I I again. I know it's cozy at home,

681
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: but you know, so far it's not a true home game.

682
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how well Titans fans travel, but hey,

683
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: there are no Titans fans, right, they don't travel. Um,

684
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: let me look this up here. I just gotta well, well,

685
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: Titans lost to Bengals, Eagles, Jags. Uh. Next week they

686
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: have Houston, which is a get right spot, so there's

687
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: no shot of a look ahead. Look they so again.

688
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: But Rabel's gonna excuse me, Herbert's gonna have to beat him.

689
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: They have a top three rush d and let's not

690
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: forget there's still eight and five against the spread. That's

691
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: top three in the league. They're still excellent under Rabel

692
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: when getting points. I mean, he is the guy. It's

693
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: Tomlin and it's rabel As, the two coaches getting points

694
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: that we we liked the back. I gotta do it again.

695
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: It's an emotional purchase because I'm a Charger fan. Let

696
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: me just check the injury report real quick. Okay, So Titans, Yeah,

697
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: see this is the problem. Concussion and you know who

698
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: is he throwing to? And then their cornerbacks they got

699
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: like two on I R. And their other best quarterback

700
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: Fulton did not practice growing I don't think he played

701
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: last week. And Trevor Lawrence looked like the number one

702
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: pick right and he was on fire. But but remember

703
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: to six starters were. Jeffrey Simmons did not practice today

704
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: due to an ankle. Let's see Autry, Oh, Autry's back.

705
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: He they really struggled. He missed all those losses. Robert

706
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: Woods is back from an illness. It looks like so

707
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: they're getting healthy er healthy. But number six starters were

708
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: on the Chargers defense against the Dolphins. Six. Yes, they're

709
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: healthy on office, Yeah, they're healthy on offense. They're not

710
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: particularly healthy on defense. Yeah, Pipkins back on the offensive line.

711
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: All right, we'll pop in in that one and um

712
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: we'll wrap up with these two. Um. So Sunday Night

713
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: Football Giants Washington Taylor Heineke favored by four and a

714
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: half points. This is like a system play, Jason, you

715
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: have to take the four and a half. You're gonna

716
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose your mind if the Commanders blow this game.

717
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: And again, nobody feels good about the Giants. I'm in

718
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: the area. Everyone's down on him. It's over. It's onto

719
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: the Jets and next season they have it. Once since

720
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the Texans game. Theyn't even look good against the Texans

721
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: when they hosted him, so the g the Giants couldn't

722
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: look any worse. The thing is is this Commander's team.

723
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of defense is gonna come

724
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: in the Giants again. All the trends lean Giants after

725
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: a straight up and against the spread loss like this,

726
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: and then they lose by twenty. Teams that lose by twenty,

727
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: there's some trends that. And again I'm not a huge

728
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: trend guy, but teams that lose by twenty usually bounce

729
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: back the next week. I just want to add this.

730
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: Alex Washington two weeks ago played the Giants. Then they

731
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: gotta buy now they faced the Giants, so essentially they

732
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: had the week leading up to it, and then the

733
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: bye week, and now this is three weeks. I don't

734
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: know what they did on the bye week, but I'm

735
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: sure there were some game planning going on with the

736
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: coaches for this game, which is massive for them. So

737
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: you've had essentially three weeks to prepare for a team

738
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: that's so limited offensively. Anyway, I don't know that I

739
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: can put my money on the Giants. Um, but how

740
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: do you I mean, in the NFC, in the NFC East,

741
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: if you're not named the Eagles, how do you lay?

742
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget on Thanksgiving Danny. Danny gave

743
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: us a backdoor plus ten cover, so he's he's They're

744
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: kind of that team that bends but doesn't break. They

745
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: actually were the only team that hadn't given up a

746
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: thirty five plus yard touchdown all year until Jalen Narts

747
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: went and did that, so they don't give up the

748
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: big play. And looking at what Danny has done, and

749
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: really what the Giants have done, They've covered their last

750
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: four out fat X whatever that means to you, weather

751
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: means a lot or a little. They've gone to Washington

752
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: and covered, and Danny dimes at Washington I think he's covered.

753
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: I have to pull it up, but he's he's over

754
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: six covering in Washington. Yeah, that's that was one of

755
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: the other things. Bet Danny Dimes on the road as

756
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: a dog, bet him at home. I'm looking at that

757
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: other game. So it was tend nothing. Washington early Giants

758
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: storm back Taylor Heineken Magic in the final two minutes.

759
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: That drive was pretty pretty nice. I see that's a

760
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: I told you I didn't liked his card. That's why

761
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: it's a gross card. I'm incredibly impressed. You went five

762
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: and no last week. Bengals favored on the road by

763
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: three and a half. At Tom Brady, please please take

764
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: this and run with it. I don't know where I

765
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: found which team. Oh, I'm all in on the Bengals

766
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: this week. I'm sorry, I'm I'm sorry. I know Brady

767
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: in the house party of one eating avocado ice cream.

768
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: That's a scary sight, and I thought it would work

769
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: the positive way. You're seeing him throw any kind of

770
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: tablet on the sideline over that thirty seven l last week,

771
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: he looked, he looked lost at Wilson c Man and

772
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: this Bengals team. Let me just lay this out, not

773
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: only are they the number one cover in the league

774
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: at ten and three, they in the last twenty one games,

775
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: damon three. That's the best run in the history of

776
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: against the spread in the National Football League. Doesn't this? Okay?

777
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: So last week the Bengals were at home against the

778
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: Browns and remember how bad that got bet on game day?

779
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: I think it was three. It closed at three and

780
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: a half. So if they closed against the Browns of

781
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: three and a half, there now favored by three and

782
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: a half in Tampa. Or is that the market telling

783
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: you Tampa and Cleveland is on equal footing. Yeah, that's

784
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: that's to look at it. And that's that. That's the

785
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: only big problem I have, Like, are you buying Cincinnati

786
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: at the top of the market. Are you buying a

787
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: house as the market's over Cookie and the risk there

788
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: is massive. The problem is I'm done going into Burrow.

789
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: You know, even I gave it out on the herd

790
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: and then um, you know, Saturday comes around and putting

791
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: the picks, I was like, you know what, I'm not

792
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna back to Shawn Watson here.

793
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: So luckily I didn't put them in the contest. I

794
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: did bet it um, but I'm done betting against Burrow

795
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: in the Bengals, Man, I think the coach stinks. I

796
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: think the defense is a little overrated. The no te Higgins,

797
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: no Tyler Boyd, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough

798
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: to cover on the road. By the way, is Hendrickson

799
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 1: playing the defensive end? Question broke his broke his wrist,

800
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: so they might just club it up and and have

801
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: him go Tristan Worth's if he's not a go oh man.

802
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, So you like I I just

803
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: it's it's the box offense. J Mack in the league

804
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: was seventeen or twenty one in the red zone. They

805
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: they're thirty second in every running catgory. So Brady's im

806
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball fifty five times last week. He's

807
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: three and eight in his career. When he does that,

808
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean they're not going to run the ball on Sunday.

809
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: And since if they get to the twenty, this team

810
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: is interesting. When they get to the twenty, I think

811
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: it's twenty four points. But this down in front of me,

812
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: there ain't no when they get twenty points this season?

813
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: Can they get twenty? I think they can I brock

814
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: Purty Madden seventy three overall just got thirty five, So

815
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know where this team is energetically.

816
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: This is where I would back Brady because I am

817
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm holding a Bucks Futures ticket. I went emotional on

818
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: purchasing them after Wait, wait, super Bowl or Division while

819
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm on the division, of course, but I I I

820
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: took after the Germany game. Just I have gone down

821
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: so bad with the old timers J McK Aaron Rodgers,

822
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. It has been ugly because it is

823
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: a bad season for the old folks. But I don't

824
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: feel good about it. I just this team coming off

825
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: three points of offense or excuse me, less than ten

826
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: points for the second time this season. I just I

827
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: have nothing good to say about this team. And if

828
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: the defense isn't there, it's gonna be a rap early. Yeah,

829
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: this falls into one of those um if Tampa loses

830
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: and Carolina wins, Carolina is now leading the divisions, as

831
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: tough as that would be, all right. He is Alex Monico,

832
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,280

857
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: passionate individual on the gambling front. We disagree on a

858
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: lot of picks this weekend. I didn't talk to about

859
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: the World Cup, so I'll just get that one out

860
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: of the way first. For the best bet, so Argentina

861
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: France early Sunday morning before the NFL. Very fired up

862
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: for there's a couple of buddies are hosting gatherings out here.

863
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: I may have to split time at one and the

864
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: other because you know these are soccer guys who are

865
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: fired up about the World Cup. Obviously, you guys know

866
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm big time on Argentina for the futures. Well before

867
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: the tournament gave him out this summer. I think they

868
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: were as high as plus six hundred and it was

869
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: plus five hundred. So I need Argentina to win. But

870
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: because of that, I think I probably should hedge with

871
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: a little France in some capacity. Um, I think both

872
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: teams to score is a safe bet. I don't want

873
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: to read too much into the four three game from

874
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. As I articulated earlier this week that Argentina

875
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: defense is way way better than it was back in

876
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: so I think both teams will score minus won four teen.

877
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: I think it's a for fun long shot, not quite

878
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: as much of a hill, Mary. As you noticed, the

879
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: lines have gotten tighter from group play round A sixteen.

880
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: Everything is much tougher to find an edge. Argentina to

881
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: win a donalties plus five fifty. I think if they're

882
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: looking for an action play, hanging out with buddies at

883
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: a bar Leonel Messi first goal member if they get

884
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: in the box and there's a foul and there's an

885
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: Argentina penalty kick, it will be messy, just like it

886
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: was against Croatia. They get the early lead, Messy first

887
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: goal plus four seventy five and plus, everybody's gonna be

888
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: rooting for Messy obviously. I mean, give me a break.

889
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 1: This is his final World Cup game, his final trophy,

890
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: the only one that has eluded him. And if Messi

891
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: is able to win it, folks, I mean, that's just

892
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a coordination, hopefully Sunday morning. Now

893
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: France wins and Himbope has two World Cup trophies. What

894
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: is he twenty three years old something? Like that. I

895
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: don't know. We we're talking about historic greatness at such

896
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: an early age, it'll be tough. There is the report

897
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: about Kareem Benzema is now fit. He they kept him

898
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: on the roster due to the injury and so he's

899
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: eligible to play. I can't imagine a scenario where they

900
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: put him on unless it's maybe extra time and they

901
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: have a sub and they it's looking like penalties. Then

902
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: you put Benzaman because he's you know, just a great

903
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: goal score. But um, I'm very excited for the World Cup.

904
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm rooting Argentina. Will be some France hedge. But Sunday morning,

905
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: that's where I expect you guys to be all right.

906
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: Asked for the NFL picks, this is a exciting weekend

907
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: because there are no teams on a by I would say,

908
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: if you're asking me to rank my top three, I

909
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: think Buffalo by a seven seven and a half has

910
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: to be one. I was looking at the Buffalo history,

911
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: recent history with Josh Allen night games in Buffalo. If

912
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: you take out the wind freaky game with the Patriots

913
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: where it was just absolute bonkers and you know Mac

914
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: Jones threw three passes. These are the last two night

915
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: games in Buffalo. I can remember, you know how they

916
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: get ready in Buffalo, partying jump of the tables, blood

917
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: bath of Tennessee on Monday night football to seven maybe

918
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: I mean Matt Matt. I think it was case Keenum

919
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: played like the entire fourth quarter, and then the playoff

920
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots where it was I think seventeen

921
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: night games at Buffalo tall order. Now somebody obviously will

922
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: remember Green Bay did go there Buffalo one, but they

923
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: didn't cover a big number. I think the number was

924
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: ten and there that I think they ended up winning

925
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: by seven. Josh Allen got a little sloppy with the

926
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: ball late. I don't see Miami putting up that much

927
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: of a fight. I can see it being interesting for

928
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: a maybe a quarter or a half, but I do

929
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: think Buffalo pulls away. That that's one of my top three.

930
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: I know you're not gonna like it, but the New

931
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: York Jets have to be one of them. Yes, there

932
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: is some concern if Mike White goes down. If if

933
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: White goes down, he's coming in with the rib injuries

934
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: um due to the hits he took against the Bills.

935
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: If White goes down, Zach Wilson goes from sitting out

936
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: inactive the last three weeks to actually playing on the

937
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: football field. Yes, playing against Aidan Hutcheson and what can

938
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: be an intimidating Detroit front. I don't know if Detroit's

939
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: got anything behind that. Um what whoever the quarterback is

940
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: for the Jets, I think we'll find success. And I

941
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: mentioned it if you missed. If you, if you're the

942
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: type who fast forwards through the interview and just wants

943
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: to get to the picks, I think you might be

944
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: interested to look into Robert Sala back when he was

945
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of the Niners facing Jared Goff. Goff,

946
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: He's there is also some numbers about um Goff is

947
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: really good against zone defenses. He can totally excel in

948
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: those scenarios. Well, the Jets play man to man Sauce

949
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: Gardner hopefully can lock up on ma st Brown and

950
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: I know they have other weapons with Jamison Williams and

951
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: uh DJ Shark. But again, outdoor game, I'm not gonna

952
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: read too much into how they did against Chicago outdoors.

953
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: How they did against the Giants is a way better

954
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: defense than that. So Jets, it's up to one and

955
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: a half. Let's see how high it goes out. I'll

956
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: say right now, I don't like the Jets. If it

957
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: gets the three, obviously not I think it. You know,

958
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: at two, it gets a little dicey, because let's just

959
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: remember these are the New York Jets. Um in the

960
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 1: third game that I like after Buffalo in the Jets,

961
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the Chargers. I had. I wanted to

962
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: make it the Patriots, but I keep looking at this

963
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: Tennessee injury report. Tennessee has lost three in a row,

964
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: and folks, I just I think the Chargers are getting

965
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: healthy at the right time. If they're able to keep

966
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: it up, we're looking at a team that's going to

967
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: be scary, a scary out in the postseason because justin

968
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: Herbert with his weapons, I saw, I see how stat

969
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: that Herbert Williams and Keenan Allen had played a combined

970
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 1: forty six snaps before the Miami game. And you noticed

971
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: the Miami game, Keenan Allen was good, but you know

972
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: who was incredible? Oh yeah, it was Mike Williams. Mike

973
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 1: Williams totally dominating in that game. And if he's healthy,

974
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: this is a totally different offense Austin Ekeler. I don't

975
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: know how Tennessee keeps up. There is the scenario, of course,

976
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: where Derrick Henry runs through them for two fifty yards.

977
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: I personally don't see it, but anything's possible. Um after

978
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: those three, I do have a little on Cleveland two

979
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: and a half, a little bit on Minnesota minus four

980
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know why I did that that

981
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: irrational early week's stupidity Kansas City minus fourteen, which I

982
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: actually like. UM, I can't advise anybody to lay double

983
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: digits against the Texans after they just covered seventeen. But

984
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, Alex made a good point that maybe this

985
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: was a turf four in the state of Tennessee, sorry,

986
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas, where there there was some

987
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: pride being taken by Houston and Dallas took him extremely lightly.

988
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: I think Kansas City minus fourteen is a play and

989
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: Patriots got a bad line took him in minus one

990
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: day are obviously now minor underdogs. I did see Christian Barymore,

991
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle out of Alabama, is back for New England.

992
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: That's good. You're gonna need him stopping Josh Jacobs in

993
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: the middle. I think big edge to Belichick against Josh McDaniels,

994
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: So I would look at the Patriots there. You wish

995
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: me luck in the contest after the five and oh,

996
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: I actually did take the time and check the standings,

997
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: and I did store up into the top four hundred

998
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: out of four thousand, which is not bad. But the

999
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: reality is the only way I'm gonna have to be

1000
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: able to contend here is if I'm able to keep

1001
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: going four in one five and oh. That's the only way. Um,

1002
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 1: So Friday night Saturday morning will be a little stressful

1003
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: getting those picks in, but uh, that's part of the

1004
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: fun of the contest. That's it for me. Everybody, have

1005
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Talk to you Monday.
