Speaker 1: Throwing in.

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 4: So we're saying it's a cash touchdown that we.

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: See most gamblers when they go to gamble, they go

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: to wind. That's incredible, big bank, small banks.

8

Speaker 1: Network Podcast.

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 5: We are presented by fan Duel Brendan glas Sheen, with Brandon.

Speaker 1: Anderson and Joe Gallant.

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 5: We bring you the week eighteen NFL recap show. Just

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 5: after midnight here on the East Coast, Sunday night football

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 5: has wrapped up. Lions and Packers will dive in momentarily.

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 5: Just want to give you all an idea of what

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 5: we have coming up on the show. Typically we nitpick,

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 5: pick apart these games and really try to get thoughts

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 5: looking ahead to the following week. Well, we will do that,

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 5: but spend more time on the playoff picture because that

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 5: is now set. That will be our gigantic look ahead

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 5: section of the pod. Typically that's one game in the

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 5: following week and there's no Monday Night football, of course,

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 5: well there is Monday Night football, but you get my point.

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: No Monday night football tomorrow. There's Monday night football in

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 5: But we will break down the bracket and do our

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 5: gigantic look ahead section. But before we do so, we're

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 5: going to rifle through these games from week eighteen. Will

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 5: begin with the Lions and the Packers. The Lions with

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: the upset and a game that ended up not meaning anything.

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: They cover plus four outright winners twenty to sixteen.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Brandon, We'll start with you quick thought here.

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Lions played the part of the Packers. Here,

36
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 6: Jared Goff outplayed Aaron Rodgers. The Lions outplayed the Packers.

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 6: The Lions were the smart, disciplined team. They were coached well,

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 6: they made the right decisions. The Packers, we had that

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 6: Rasul Douglas right before the half hits a guy gets

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 6: fifteen yards, sets up an easy field goal. Kway Walker,

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 6: the linebacker, gets ejected late in the game for pushing

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 6: a trainer. This week, of all weeks, we got delay

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 6: of games from green Bay at home. These are bad

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 6: coaching and discipline mistakes. Those are the things you figure

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 6: Detroit makes on the road. In the playoff setting. You

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 6: figure green Bay doesn't do that stuff and wins because

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 6: of it. Look, I thought the refs were in the

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 6: green Bay's pocket. Will put it that way, and Detroit

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 6: came to Green Bay in the face of all those fans,

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 6: in the face of some very questionable calls. Jamal Williams,

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 6: former Packer, two touchdowns breaks Barry Sanders record six multi

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 6: touchdown game of the season, led the league in rushing touchdown.

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 6: That was a huge long shot that none of us

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 6: surround me before the season. Man jack off in the cold,

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 6: got it done, and you know, Aaron Rodgers chok is

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 6: that where're going with us? Aaron Frodgers is trending on Twitter?

57
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: Not great? Not great for Green Bay.

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, interceptions at Lambeau to end the season and not

59
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 5: pretty at the end of games in a big spot.

60
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers Jill, is this the last of Aaron in

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 5: Green Bay?

62
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: I think it could be. I think there's going to

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: be maybe a splash in Vegas. Maybe I don't. It'd

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: be interesting to see a nice little reunion between him

65
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: and DeVante. There's a lot of salary capturmnastics the Packers

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: would have to to even move on from him. But yeah,

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: the ultimate choke job by the Packers, and now that

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: both them and the Lions are eliminated, we don't have

69
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: to talk about him again for the rest of the year.

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: Phenomenal games with meaning. Of course, this game could have

71
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 5: had meeting, but it did it at the end of

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 5: the day Detroit and Green Bay because well it did

73
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 5: for the Packers going in, but they didn't win the game,

74
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: so they're out.

75
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Lions are out.

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: Tennessee Jacksonville was a great game Saturday, at least the

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: drama down the stretch.

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter. You got Dobbs v. Trevor Lawrence number one

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: pick a third.

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: String quarterback this game to decide the AFC South, and

81
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: the Jags got a done same score twenty to sixteen

82
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: Titans cover. However plus six and a half, Jags win

83
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 5: the South. Jill, I'll start with you because I don't

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: mean to just just spit in facts here Peal. On

85
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: the Best Bets episode, you said, hey, Tennessee money line,

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 5: give it to me. They're going to take these guys down.

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 5: Tennessee is a dog. We talked about it on the

88
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 5: Best Bets podcast. A dog in the division. Mike Rabel,

89
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: more rest Mike Rabel.

90
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: And a defensive touchdown to break your heart.

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a lot of those trends did pertain

92
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: to spread, not necessarily a money line. So again, they

93
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: did help out somebody that we do know. That would

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: be Brandon who did cover the six and a half

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: plus locking in the under to get a nice plus

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: two seventy win for the best betspot. But yeah, I

97
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: think we just found out why Josh Dobbs never really

98
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: got a shot as an NFL quarterback because you need

99
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: to have pocket awareness and he did not, and he

100
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: got sacked from behind which led to that fumble. And

101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Tannehill that would have happened. But

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: if Tannehill plays this game, I think the Titans win

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: this game handily. And I'm just gonna quote Uncle Rico,

104
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: like it's not a doubt in my mind, Like you

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: know that that was going to happen, right, so you know,

106
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: Jags were covered to score the game when he touchdown.

107
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Jaguars are in the playoffs now they'll see the Chargers

108
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 2: and they'll be hosting them as right now about point

109
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: and a half underdogs, you know.

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: And I kind of feel bad not going to Brandon

111
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: first on this because worst to first was one of

112
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: our first bets discussed on this podcast.

113
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: This season between the three of us the season.

114
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 5: Long look Ahead Awards podcast way back when in August

115
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: or early September, and the Jaguars got it done for you, Brandon.

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 6: They did plus eight hundred Worster first. I know a

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: lot of you folks were tailing on that one. I

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 6: kept doubling down. I think I betted again about a

119
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 6: month in. I bet Jaguars playoffs. I bet Titans to

120
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 6: miss the playoffs multiple times. And you know what, let

121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 6: me just be honest. Didn't deserve it. Did not deserve it.

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 6: The Titans end of the season on a half.

123
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: Season losing streak.

124
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I don't think the better team won

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 6: the division. I'm not sure the better team won the game.

126
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 6: Doesn't matter. We'll take our cash either way, and the

127
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 6: standings are all that count at the end of the day.

128
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 6: The Jaguars end up winning the division by two games.

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 6: But look, this game Jacksonville really not a great performance,

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 6: but by them, this was a Tennessee script all the way.

131
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry running the ball, defense, ugly Mike Rabel football.

132
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 6: This is absolutely the game Tennessee wanted. And I mean

133
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: you can't let Dobbs get that strip six there but

134
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 6: without that which, by the way, the NFL reviewed for

135
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 6: what like two seconds.

136
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: They're like, after review, we really.

137
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 6: Don't need more Titans in the NFL. Jaguars touchdown, congrats

138
00:06:59,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: make the playoff.

139
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: So's it's a good way of putting it.

140
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jaguars had two hundred and twenty two yards in

141
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 6: this game. They did not have a first down from

142
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 6: the mid third quarter forward. They had thirteen first downs

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 6: all game. They ran twenty five fewer plays against.

144
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: May I remind you.

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 6: A team that ended on the season on I think

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 6: an eight game or seven game losing streak.

147
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: You got it right, eight seven and two to seven

148
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: and ten.

149
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, So look, the Titans defense was good. We said

150
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: that we had the case for it. But you know,

151
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 6: there's I think there'd be a lot of excitement for

152
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 6: a young Jacksonville team in the playoffs. They get the

153
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 6: home game. This was not a good performance by the

154
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 6: team they got in. That's all that matters. Now, play

155
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 6: the next game. But this is not really the team

156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 6: that you want to be backing for a deep run

157
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 6: right now.

158
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: I think again, we'll get thoughts on the bracket specifically.

159
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: Later on in the pod, we'll dive into the Jags

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 5: their matchup with the Chargers in the AFC playoff mix,

161
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 5: and we'll rifle through some more of these games. We'll start,

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: we'll get go one by one. No, Buffalo, New England.

163
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: What a scene, Damar Hamlin, great news and update on him.

164
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: Throughout the course of the week. You could get the

165
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: sense based on some pregame interviews.

166
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: And just the way the atmosphere looked.

167
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 5: They honor the training staff folks of Buffalo and the

168
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: work they did on site in Cincinnati. The game that

169
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: was eventually canceled. The game is played, and then a

170
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 5: kickoff return for a touchdown by Nahim Heinz. He did

171
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: it not once, but twice in the game. Final score

172
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: thirty five twenty three. Buffalo secures the two seed. They

173
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 5: cover seven seven and a half, eight eight and a

174
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 5: half whatever you got mostly eight and a half when

175
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 5: that game got started, Brandon Buffalo's two seed. Pretty nice

176
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 5: day for the Bills.

177
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: Pretty good day and man just chills on that opening

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: kickoff touchdown again later but DeMar Hamlin number three, Josh

179
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 6: Allen says after the game, it's been three years and

180
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 6: three months since the Bills last return to kickoff for

181
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 6: a touchdown. Mac Jones had three interceptions. He got in

182
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 6: on the three fun I heck at that point, I

183
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 6: thought nah he Hines was going to return another kick

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: for touchdown, so he'd have three. We're just all in

185
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 6: on the theme. The sequence for me, that really defined

186
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 6: the game. So right out of the half, the Patriots

187
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 6: are driving and really weren't going away. They hung around

188
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 6: much longer. I think we all saw the opening kickoff

189
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 6: and we're.

190
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Like, here we go.

191
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 6: Bill's by fifty, this game is over right, Yeah, Patriots

192
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 6: hung around, they're driving down. The Bill's defense really saved

193
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 6: this for them. They picked mac Jones off at about

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 6: the five, then immediately turn it right back over, then

195
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 6: hold again and hold the Patriots to a field goal

196
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 6: seventeen to fourteen. And then off that field goal is

197
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 6: when Nahim Heines returns the falling kickout for the touchdown,

198
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 6: and then it was all Buffalo again. But that defensive stand.

199
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 6: If Buffalo is going to do this thing, it has

200
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 6: to be that. It can't just be Josh Allen doing everything.

201
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 6: And I thought that was a really key moment for

202
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 6: this team because man could have gotten away the other direction,

203
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 6: but pretty cool to see. Obviously, the Patriots are out here.

204
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: Mac Jones rough way down the season for them.

205
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 5: Based on that result, Jill, there was potential for the

206
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers with New England losing to Squeak in Pittsburgh

207
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 5: twenty eight to fourteen. They defeat Cleveland, they cover two

208
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 5: and a half points. Pittsburgh misses, but Mike Tomlin's over

209
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: five hundred once again.

210
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and got to give credit to him going seven

211
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: to two after the bye with this quarterback because can

212
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: you pick it just needs to be way better. Like

213
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: I know that obviously we got these wins, but one

214
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty four passing yards per game, you know,

215
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: is completion percentages around sixty three percent. That's in the

216
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: bottom half of starting quarterbacks. If we could see some

217
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: offseason improvement for them, I could definitely see them contending

218
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: for an AFC North title and maybe making the playoffs

219
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: as well. But I think my biggest takeaway from this

220
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: game is I got to pour one out for Deontay Johnson.

221
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson was one of my favorite anytime touchdown score

222
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: bet bets that you could make. You could always get

223
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: him around plus two twenty five in that offense, and

224
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: he set the single season record for most targets and

225
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: receptions without a touchdown. So again, you could probably see

226
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: him get traded in the off season, especially with the

227
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: way that the Steelers, the way that they groom wide receivers,

228
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: and the way that they can really branch out, especially

229
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: the emergence of George Pickens. So that's my biggest takeaway

230
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: is that Deontay Johnson's got to get out of steel

231
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: City and Mike Tomlin is the coaching edge.

232
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 5: At least he'll be happy you shouted him out probably

233
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 5: plenty during the Touchdown Show this year, had Action networked.

234
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, more like what we do, buy sell segments, and

235
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: I was like every week, I was like, I gotta

236
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: sell them until I see the touchdown. I'm not betting it,

237
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: and we didn't.

238
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: So back to that Buffalo New England result and.

239
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: This game between Pittsburgh and Cleveland that had some meaning

240
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: and it reflected the chances for the Miami Dolphins hosting

241
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 5: the New York Jets. Jets are out, so nothing to

242
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: play for and this one was awfully sloppy. Brandon Anderson

243
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 5: eleven to six. Miami does win. There's a weird safety

244
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 5: at the end of the game to get the covers.

245
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 5: So good on you if you bet the Dolphins on

246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: the side three and a half four.

247
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Miami is the seventh seed in the AFC playoffs.

248
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolute brutal beat if you were on the Jets

249
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 6: on this game to literally I wrote in my notes

250
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 6: first half, my only note is first touchdown wins. Well

251
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 6: we never got one, no touchdowns apparently winning this game.

252
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 6: But when you're going three points at a time to

253
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 6: get the Jets at plus four, you're feeling like this

254
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 6: is just found money at this point, like it's absolute lock.

255
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 6: And then of course the pitchy pitchy woo woo SVP

256
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 6: play at the end for the safety.

257
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: They didn't even it wasn't even live.

258
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 6: They ended, the score goes nine to six, and they

259
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 6: go away from the game, and then I remember noticing

260
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 6: the ref puts up the two hands for safety and

261
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh no, And then of course they come

262
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 6: back later and add it on there. So I think,

263
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 6: absolutely brutal bet on that. I was on the under

264
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 6: pretty easy under here under for Dolphins team total under

265
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 6: for the spread. It did not feel like this was

266
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 6: one of these teams should get in the playoffs. Joe

267
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 6: Flacco and Scaler Thompson. Oh, not great. It's three hundred

268
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 6: and one yards combined passing. This was a baseball score.

269
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 6: And please, for the sake of us watching at home,

270
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 6: don't let Scaler Thompson start a playoff game.

271
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: We will discuss the quarterback ramifications for the Dolphins. If

272
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: it's Tua, if it's Teddy, if it's Thompson, we'll discuss

273
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: that when we break down the matchup with Buffalo. Okay,

274
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: well we'll get.

275
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 5: To Brandon in a minute on this, but we'll go

276
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 5: to Seattle and Los Angeles.

277
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Seahawks win nineteen sixteen.

278
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 5: They're in the playoffs based on the result between the

279
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: Lions and the Packers. Rams though cover plus six a

280
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 5: big play on the Action Network podcast Bets Best Bets

281
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 5: episode Jill, Seahawks are in as the seventh seed, and

282
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 5: unfortunately yours truly did not deliver on the Rams money

283
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 5: line pick. But the spreader got there.

284
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say the Rams cover, but money

285
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: line not so much and wanted to apologize on your behalf.

286
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: But overall, just a pretty sloppy game. I mean it

287
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: wasn't great football what you were watching, even if it

288
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: had playoff ramifications. And I don't think anybody really wants

289
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: the Seahawks in the playoffs other than Brandon, who's betting,

290
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: you know, plus fifteen hundred to make the playoff odds,

291
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: like at the beginning of the season, just because Like,

292
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: imagine winning a game despite going one for eleven on

293
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: third down and your quarterback throws two picks and you

294
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: still win the game. Like it just Seattle backdoored their

295
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: way into that. The Packers gave it to them. I

296
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: don't even know if it's really worth Like you've seen

297
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: the line climb. Now we'll talk about this a little

298
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: bit more about them playing the forty nine ers and

299
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: how that line is getting out of control because people

300
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: are just hammering the forty nine ers right now. So

301
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: rams might see a different coach too, Sean McVay. There's

302
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: some rumors that he might jump to the booth as well,

303
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: so there could be some turmoil in.

304
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: La Okay, Brandon, see.

305
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 6: Fox, I was writing this time, de Shattle, let's go

306
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: yes plus fifteen hundred. We had that one back from October.

307
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 6: We weathered some storms on Seattle Island, but Seattle Island

308
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 6: back in the playoffs, baby, And you know what I

309
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 6: spoke with my editor just.

310
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: Before the show.

311
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 6: I will be writing the Seattle Island playoff game preview

312
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 6: for Seattle versus San Francisco and the weather, the stormy

313
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 6: weather may be coming back because Seattle, Dan, we got

314
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 6: our fifteen hundred. But let's just say I probably won't

315
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 6: be purchasing any more Seattle futures with our winnings.

316
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: All right, Well that's a somber end of the story,

317
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 5: but I would I would take it in run as well.

318
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: Take take your drifting island and go build another one

319
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: somewhere with your winnings. Okay, this is this one's funny.

320
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: This means jack shit. I'll just say it means jack

321
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 5: shit to what the playoffs look like. But Houston, Indianapolis,

322
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: Brandon is a laugher here because of how this game ended. Wow,

323
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 5: thirty two to thirty one, your final score between these

324
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 5: two teams today, what a finish. Houston wins. So now

325
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: the Texans don't get the number one pick. Lovey Smith

326
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 5: was fired earlier.

327
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: Of this evening. Now in the morning, if you're listening,

328
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: and we're gonna.

329
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 5: Piece this one with the Minnesota Chicago game because that

330
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: was just another one that meant nothing. Vikings started, some

331
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 5: guys pulled offensive starters, and they cruised and covered the spread.

332
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Vikings win their thirteenth game for only the third

333
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 6: time ever, still finished with the negative point differential. Kirk

334
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 6: Cousins final play of the regular season was the last

335
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 6: play for a half time where you threw it short

336
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: of the end zone and the Vikings ran the field

337
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 6: goal union and couldn't get the kickoff in time.

338
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: That's the only.

339
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 6: Takeaway here is what else for the Vikings Texans cult?

340
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 6: Somehow was the game of the day, like the one

341
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 6: game that nobody wanted any part of betting watching any

342
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 6: of it. Houston goes up ten to nothing for back

343
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 6: and forth all game. We're freaking out because the Bears

344
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 6: clearly are taking the Bears. We're losing all the way.

345
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 6: Chicago's in line to get the number one pick, surely

346
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 6: they won't. And then of course finally we get a

347
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 6: pick six from Davis Mills who I think took the

348
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 6: interception crown and then Moiley Cox nice touchdown, Indy finally

349
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 6: takes the lead.

350
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 3: We're looking safe.

351
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 6: Davis Mills our man three hundred yards almost three touchdowns,

352
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 6: including basically a fourth and twenty hail Mary to Jordan

353
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 6: Akins that like, I don't even know, Like a hail

354
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 6: mary is a prayer. Literally, that's what a hail mary means.

355
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 6: I don't know who's praying. More like, the Colts are

356
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 6: praying that it completed because they don't want a good

357
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 6: quarterback in their division. Lovey Smith comes through for the Bears.

358
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 6: Jordan Akins catches it and gets the two point conversion

359
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 6: for the win. The octopus, as we call it on Twitter.

360
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 6: So just ridiculous, ridiculous way to end the season for

361
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: these teams. The Colts I think probably move up a

362
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 6: spot or two, so good for them.

363
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: I don't know.

364
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 6: Like, honestly, straight up, this is a franchise cripplingly stupid

365
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 6: ending for the Texan season. You cannot give away the

366
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 6: number one pick and lose control.

367
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: Look, I know there's good.

368
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 6: Quarterbacks you lost all season to earn the right to

369
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 6: choose which quarterback you want. You don't just take the

370
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 6: one left over. Somebody's gonna end up going ahead of

371
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 6: them now and Houston has to live with it for

372
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 6: the next decade.

373
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 5: But let me tell you something, SPIKEE spite is a

374
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: real thing. And Lovey Smith, let me tell you that's

375
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 5: pretty magical for him.

376
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh you're gonna.

377
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 5: You're gonna fire me. Well, f you and your number

378
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: one pick. We're gonna go out win this game. That's

379
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 5: how I look at it. So, yes, Chicago slated to

380
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 5: get the number one pick in the twenty twenty three

381
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 5: NFL draft.

382
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: And then Houston number two. So that was worth discussing briefly.

383
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 5: Okay, back to Saturday, Jill, Chiefs and Raiders. This was

384
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 5: really a laugher. Kansas City took an early lead and

385
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 5: never looked back. Thirty one thirteen. They cover nine and

386
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: a half. This dropped to eight eight and a half

387
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 5: just before kickoff. Case is your one seed.

388
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: We won't see them this weekend.

389
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Casey covers a big spread. And really, I

390
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: mean you could sum up this game just with the

391
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: ring around the Rosie play call like talk about like

392
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: not respecting your opponent at all, you know, and why

393
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: should they like you know, Jared stid have had more

394
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: rushing yards than Josh Jacobs in this game. So Raiders

395
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: call good good way to wrap it up. Chiefs, good

396
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 2: way to wrap it up.

397
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great point too. The spread Patrick Mahomes.

398
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 5: When he's a three point favorite or fewer, his record

399
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 5: is substantially above five hundred. But when he's a three

400
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: and a half point under three and a half point

401
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 5: favorite or greater, meaning not inside that number, the key

402
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: number of three, not very good, I guess the spreade.

403
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 5: But this week they handled their business, won by eighteen points.

404
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: Brandon Baltimore, Cincinnati. While we talked about Buffalo and New England,

405
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 5: had Buffalo lost somehow, which.

406
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: That was possible when the Patriots were winning.

407
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 5: Seventeen fourteen, Cincinnati could have got the two, but they

408
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 5: fell into three. They jumped out to an early lead

409
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: here in Baltimore. Anthony Brown, my god.

410
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, no coin flip necessary. Cincinnati made it very clear

411
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 6: they're unhappy with that scenario. We got what has to

412
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 6: be the first ever coin flip touchdown celebration that the

413
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 6: Bengals pulled off.

414
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 3: And that's it.

415
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 6: That's the takeaway from this game. Actually, the one thing

416
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 6: is right guard Alex Kappa for the Bengals went out

417
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 6: with an injury that looks pretty bad to me. Lyle Collins,

418
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 6: right tackle is already out that is the right side

419
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 6: of your line that maybe are both out now for

420
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 6: the playoffs. That is not the time that you want

421
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: to be losing half your line. Kapa is not great,

422
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 6: but this is what the Bengals did. Remember last year,

423
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 6: nine sacks one playoff game like this was the big

424
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 6: Achilles heel for them, and this it worries me a little.

425
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 6: Bet with those injuries propping up together.

426
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: All at it. The final score was twenty seven to sixteen.

427
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 5: If you bet this game right when they put Anthony

428
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 5: Brown when he was announced the starter, if you got

429
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: eleven and a half, ooh, nice hit. If you took

430
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: the Ravens plus eleven and a half. If you didn't

431
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 5: take the Ravens, hopefully you bet Cincinnati at nine and

432
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 5: a half or ten and a half. But yeah, the

433
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 5: Ravens cover by the hook, so good, Onya. If you

434
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 5: had that jill onto your Dallas Cowboys, they look terrible.

435
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: They looked terrible.

436
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 5: Twenty six to six Commanders, they were a seven point underdog,

437
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 5: got up to seven and a half, they cover went outright.

438
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 5: Dallas was I think was scoreboard watching.

439
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: I think by the end of that one.

440
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the first half you saw the Eagles were

441
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 2: up about sixteen to nothing on the Giants. The Giants

442
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: weren't moving the ball at all. I'm not going to

443
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: defend the Cowboys and their effort, but I would definitely

444
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: say it felt like they were maybe holding their punches.

445
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: I would just say that now. I would also say

446
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: that Dak Prescott, if you're going to throw interceptions, we're

447
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: not going to win at all. Like he now tied

448
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: Davis Mills for the most interceptions in the NFL, he

449
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: also locked in the most profitable quarterback for interception props.

450
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: If you would just bindly bet one unit in every

451
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: game he had started, you would have won eight point

452
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: one units.

453
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 5: Wow, I forgot those early days of this podcast, and

454
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 5: more so the best bets. We were talking interceptions with

455
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: Matt Ryan. Well, Matt Ryan can't throw picks when he's

456
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 5: on the bench, right, So good for Matt Ryan in

457
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: that regard Giants Eagles. And then that's a direct reflection,

458
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 5: Brandon of that result Philadelphia getting to buy twenty two

459
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: sixteen Giants to cover though the big spread, they rested

460
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: most of their guys.

461
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, we got Davis Mills and Gary Brightwell playing QB

462
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 6: and running back for the Giants, but look, you're gonna

463
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 6: see the spread or see the final score and be like,

464
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 6: oh man, the Eagles, they're really stumbling in. Eagles are

465
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 6: up nineteen to nothing with a minute until the fourth quarter.

466
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 6: The Giants, I didn't feel like really ever threatened them.

467
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 6: We did get an on side kick and the Eagles

468
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 6: recover run the clock out. To me, the game was

469
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 6: basically a microcosm of this last month of the season.

470
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 6: The Eagles had the one seed all the way we

471
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 6: always knew was coming. We had some drama, but was

472
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 6: it really ever that dramatic. We just kind of eventually

473
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 6: got there the same way. Jena Hurts played. Didn't look great,

474
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 6: but maybe that's good. Get the rust out of the way.

475
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 6: My takeaway another futures win for us, all of us

476
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 6: at Action really on our pod, we gave out Eagles

477
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 6: for most wins plus two thousand. They tied the Chiefs

478
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 6: for that. Eagles one seed was plus twelve hundred.

479
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: We hit that.

480
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 6: I was on Eagles Division, and I think just about

481
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: everyone at Action Network. I think Simon was on that.

482
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 6: I think Da Bundo was on it, Raybon or Stocky

483
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 6: maybe both of them. So a lot of Eagles futures

484
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 6: out there. We've got Siriani twenty to one for Coach

485
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 6: of the Year. Hopefully you got in on some of

486
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 6: those Eagles futures and then obviously they're the one seed,

487
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 6: so that you got to like your futures as we

488
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 6: get back to the playoff bracket later for NFC or

489
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 6: Super Bowl.

490
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 5: Jill, I wonder if it's the last Well, it's definitely

491
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 5: the last time for us, but is it the last

492
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: time for everybody?

493
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Even you the listener to.

494
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: Talk about Cliff Kingsbury as the head coach of the

495
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals. His team gets thumped thirty eight thirteen Niners win,

496
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: they cover fourteen and a half.

497
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: Is it bye bye, Cliff?

498
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: It should be.

499
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if they were so financially tied into him

500
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: and Kyler like I would start over. But that's what

501
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: they that's the hand they dealt themselves. And this is

502
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do is go into the offseason with

503
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: another Kingsbury coaching system, and yeah, I'm going to see

504
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: the rest of my time. Brandon, do you think this

505
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: is Kingsbury's last game? You've been one of the more

506
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: vocal critics of his coaching style in the NFL.

507
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 6: I mean, I certainly hope, so I don't know. I

508
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 6: don't know why they would keep him around at this point.

509
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 6: A producer Matt Mitchell, with his Kingsbury second half collapsed

510
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 6: stat and more losses for the Cardinals down the stretch here.

511
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: Just I don't know, get them get him out of here?

512
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 6: What are we doing there? There's no Kyler for next year.

513
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 6: Also this, I don't.

514
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: Even want to think about the Cardinals anymore.

515
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: The NFC South special frozen pizza where you can get

516
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: it for how many wins to win that division? Eight?

517
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 5: You can get it for seven ninety nine. How about

518
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 5: that at the local grocery store. Because of the win

519
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 5: total for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win this division,

520
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 5: so the game meant nothing for Tampa. They lose to

521
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: the Falcons. Now Tampa did it off to a good

522
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 5: start and they played their starters and then they took

523
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: everybody out because again the game meant nothing.

524
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: They're going to play Dallas this weekend.

525
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 5: They want, you know, Tom Brady historically likes to play

526
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: the final week of the year in some fashion.

527
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: Thirty seventeen Atlanta.

528
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 5: They cover the four and a half point spread they

529
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 5: were favorites, and then Carolina New Orleans. The final score

530
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 5: was ten to seven Carolina, an outright underdog winner. Your

531
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 5: takeaway from this slog, It was kind of a slog

532
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: really for the league in my opinion all year, But

533
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: Brandon any, this was a slog of a division this.

534
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 6: Year, this was we don't have to think about this

535
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 6: division anymore. The Buccaneers are the fourth team ever to

536
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 6: win their division below five hundred or I think, yeah,

537
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 6: at adder below five hundred.

538
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: They're eight and nine.

539
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 6: They finished somehow with the worst point differential in the

540
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 6: division in that division, so not great. Tom Brady's first

541
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 6: season ever as a starter below five hundred. Tampa at

542
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 6: twelve first downs in this game against the Falcons who

543
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 6: don't play defense, so yeah, not great. Joe, I think

544
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 6: you had Michael Preu at a big touchdown hit for

545
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 6: Ritter got his first touchdown there.

546
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: What was the number you had on Prue?

547
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: He was at plus five hundred, which is hilarious. But

548
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: that was the reason why I took him was because

549
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers struggle against slot receivers and tight ends and

550
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: that might be something we see when they play the

551
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: Cowboys next week.

552
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that's it for Bucks. Walk off field goal

553
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 6: for the Panthers. Steve Elks goes six and six. Matt

554
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 6: Rule apparently was even worse than we gave him credit for.

555
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 6: The Panthers finished taking the division. Sam Darnold five of

556
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 6: fifteen for forty three yards and a winning effort. Congratulations

557
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 6: to that. The only Panthers touchdown was scored by Michael Jordan,

558
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 6: the Goat Bros sport. He plays baseball. He scores touchdown

559
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 6: for the Panthers. I never heard of him before. He's

560
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 6: apparently a backup O Ligneman recovered to fumble. Congrats Michael Jordan.

561
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 6: Get me ready for bockets over around the NBA feed

562
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 6: coming soon.

563
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: How about that?

564
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: Wow?

565
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 5: Even the Matt Rule days of this podcast, like that

566
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 5: feels like forever ago. We were talking about Matt Rule.

567
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: He won't be a favorite again this year.

568
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: And that discussion we had that.

569
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: Was a good one, Brandon, that was good, I mean,

570
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 5: And then Matt Role. Kingsbury should blame Matt Rule because

571
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 5: then when Rule left, we just picked on Kingsbury.

572
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: So poor Cliff in that regard.

573
00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 5: And last, and certainly definitely deservingly least instead of let's

574
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 5: ride into the sunset. It's let's ride into the basement.

575
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 5: The Broncos did win though tonight they did thirty one

576
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 5: to twenty eight. They beat the Chargers. The Chargers they

577
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 5: did cover six and a half was the final line.

578
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 5: The Chargers found out that the game won't mean much

579
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 5: and Jill, the floor is yours on the Denver Broncos.

580
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: Well, before I start on the Broncos, I want to

581
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: say that this is a terrible week for McVeigh and

582
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: McVay disciples, because we saw Matt l Fluor have kind

583
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: of like a coaching brain fart and now having his

584
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: team prepared against the Lions, and then we just saw

585
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley today be the biggest fucking idiot I've ever seen,

586
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: playing his starters deep into this game. You got Mike

587
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: Williams pretty much his back broken. He doesn't even need

588
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: to be out there. Keenan Allen catching a touchdown at

589
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: the end of the game to help the Chargers cover

590
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: the plus six and a half. So kudos to anybody

591
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: who waited to grab the Chargers right there at the

592
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: last minute seeing the line flip once they saw the

593
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: result from the Ravens and Bengals but yeah, this was

594
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: such a turn of events because if you even think

595
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: just a little over a year ago about how much

596
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: we praise Brandon Staley as this you know, new type

597
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: of coach, you know, a leader of men, and we

598
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: can't wait to run this guy out of town because

599
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: of how stupid he was today. And now moving over

600
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: to Broncos side, I almost think Russ might have did

601
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: a little enough today to like convince people I'm buying

602
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: low on Broncos stock in the off season, maybe like

603
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: a worst the first type of scenario that Brandon likes

604
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: to bet on, and you know, looking at their win

605
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: totals because now I'm not going to be one of

606
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: those people, but I'm just saying that they have done

607
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: that where you know, Russ throws for three touchdowns, you know,

608
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: ending the season on a on a good note. But

609
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: either way, thankfully that is the last Broncos recap of

610
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: the season for myself.

611
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: You know, if he played in any other division than

612
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: the AFC West, no, I don't want to hear it.

613
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: No, I'm dismissing that he's done. Russell Wilson, if he

614
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: played in any other division, he would be good.

615
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: No, if that's where you're no.

616
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 5: I was going to say no, no, no, no, I was

617
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: going to say the worst to first thing, if all

618
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 5: like I would be more into that. But you play

619
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 5: with Mahomes and Herbert right like, I agree, you're not.

620
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: That's almost getting I'm too feisty man. Right now, you

621
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: get me talking about Broncos every week, and by eighteen

622
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: weeks of talking about this team, I'm just very agitated.

623
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 5: And the last thing I'll mention and we'll move on

624
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 5: to our playoff preview both conferences with wild card weekend

625
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: approaching no Monday Night football tomorrow, and of course this

626
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 5: is our version of.

627
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: The look ahead.

628
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: Last thing I'll say too, Brandon Staley a year ago now,

629
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 5: week eighteen against the Raiders, that the tie we were

630
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 5: all hyped up about.

631
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: He got a lot of crap last year too.

632
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: If we're going for it in his own end, deep

633
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: in his own territory, So this it doesn't really.

634
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: Surprise me at this guy. I think he's done.

635
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: A good job staying Look, it's easy to stay hidden

636
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles.

637
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: No one really cares.

638
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: And then when you do stuff like that, people like

639
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: Joe Gallant air and they're offended. So good job fellas

640
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 5: that the last of the Frozen Pizzas, the last of

641
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 5: our recaps in the regular season. So let's let's get

642
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: into the playoff picture. That's what we're gonna do now

643
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 5: for the next bit of the podcast. Because the lines

644
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: are out. We've got the FanDuel sportsbook pulled up. The

645
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 5: lines are posted, totals are still kind of filing in,

646
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 5: some are not posted, but we've got lines up for

647
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 5: these games. The schedule is also out for this coming weekend.

648
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 5: I'll give you the schedule and then we'll dive in.

649
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 5: We'll just go right in order of the schedule, as

650
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: opposed to going conference by conference. We'll just go schedule

651
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 5: because that's how you folks watch the games, that's how

652
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 5: you consume it, just like us. We'll go right in order.

653
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: So Seattle, San Francisco four thirty Saturday, La Jacksonville eight

654
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: point fifteen on Saturday. The Sunday lineup Miami, Buffalo, New York, Minnesota, Baltimore, Cincinnati,

655
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 5: and then Monday night is Dallas and Tampa Brandon. We'll

656
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 5: start with Seattle Island. Actually like this idea, starting Seattle

657
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: Island drifting to San Francisco.

658
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: These teams met twice. Of course, as division fos, the

659
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Niners handled their business twice. The line is currently ten

660
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: and the total sitting at forty three and a half.

661
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: San Franz the favorite. What are your thoughts?

662
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Unfortunately the hot read on this one was the

663
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 6: forty nine ers literally the second that it opened, because

664
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 6: we had some minus six minus six and a half,

665
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 6: which was a big mistake because those guys scooped up

666
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 6: in a hurry.

667
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: We hit seven, we hit a We're at ten.

668
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 6: It probably will keep rising, and I think it's rising correctly.

669
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 6: The tide has risen on the Seahawks on Seattle Island

670
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 6: all year. Look, the Niners are the red hot team

671
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 6: in the NFL. Rock pretty hasn't lost. It's a home

672
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 6: game against a team that can't tackle. Teams that can't

673
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 6: tackle are not who you want to play the forty

674
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 6: nine ers against.

675
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: This not going to go well. So weird schedule.

676
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 6: Thing like why did we put the one West Coast

677
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: game as the earliest Saturday game? Very strange to me.

678
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 6: I don't know that, but I don't have a great

679
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: angle here. The angle was to grab the Niners as

680
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 6: quickly as you could. It's maybe like a teaser spot

681
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: if we can get to a better number. But yeah,

682
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 6: it's hard for me to see anything but a forty

683
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 6: nine Ers win and probably a rolling win like the

684
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 6: Niners have been beating everyone else lately.

685
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 5: Jill were not quite in the touchdown availability. Of course,

686
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 5: because these lines were just posted. I will add that

687
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 5: if you go to scoring under winning margin, San France

688
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: fourteen plus is at plus one ten.

689
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think this is.

690
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 5: Of course, those aren't great odds in comparison to the ten.

691
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: My point is is, I think this is to Brandon's point,

692
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 5: this could this is.

693
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: Very well moving in San Fran's direction.

694
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: It feels like, oh absolutely when it's opening at six

695
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: and a half and then going to eight and a half,

696
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: and we're even just talking about it through slack of

697
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: like watch the line and it's already at ten and

698
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: a half and then it might have bounced back down

699
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: to ten, but you're probably gonna see a hover around

700
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: this line for a while. And yeah, just San Francisco

701
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: just outmatches them in nearly every way, even if even

702
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: if you have a rookie quarterback who looks like he's twelve,

703
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: you know, playing the fact that it's a ready set.

704
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: I've talked about this, like when they were playing the Raiders,

705
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: even though they didn't cover that spread, just that this

706
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: team is pretty much almost like a setup and forget

707
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: it type of team, like where you can have a

708
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: game manager style of quarterback and still succeed. And I

709
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: think right now, from a touchdown matchup standpoint, I'll be

710
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: looking great at George Kittle, and I imagine he's probably

711
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: gonna be anywhere between the plus one fifty to plus

712
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: one seventy five range in that game.

713
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 5: Chargers Jaguars is the late game on Saturday night, So Brandon,

714
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: you were in on the Jags to go worse to first.

715
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 5: They finished the job, even though you felt they probably

716
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 5: didn't deserve it, but they did it and they deserve

717
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: credit for that. They're playing again on Saturday night at home,

718
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 5: so they get a full week, a regular week of rest,

719
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 5: and they're welcoming in the Chargers, a team that they

720
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 5: destroyed thirty eight to ten in Week three.

721
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going the exact opposite way. This This is

722
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 6: my hot read right now.

723
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 4: Hope ice rights ice cream A right arm nineteen sound

724
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: nineteen HOI mille soul trade.

725
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 6: Give me the Chargers minus one and a half. I

726
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 6: don't know if you need to take it right away.

727
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 6: Traditional hot read is that we think the line's gonna

728
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 6: move against you want to grab the value there. This

729
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 6: one's been bet down. It opened Chargers two and a

730
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 6: half and it's starting to fade a little bet So

731
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if you need to grab it right away.

732
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be shocked if jacksonvill ends up being favored,

733
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 6: but I'm the Chargers are the right favorite. It's a

734
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 6: great matchup for the Chargers now. I know they got

735
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 6: trounts last time, but Week three is a long time ago,

736
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 6: and I have crapped on the Chargers all season long.

737
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 6: But I noticed as I was kind of prepping for

738
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 6: this home stretch here coming out of the by the

739
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 6: Chargers played seven games before the buye, Jerry Tillery was

740
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 6: a bit big problem for this defense, not in a

741
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 6: good way. They got rid of him, they got healthy

742
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 6: a little bit.

743
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 3: The J. C.

744
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 6: Jackson thing early in the season, in and out, They

745
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: figured that out, just he wasn't around anymore since the

746
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 6: bye week. Coming into today, Chargers ranked second in passing

747
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 6: defense by DVOA. The one thing that Jacksonville Jaguars do

748
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 6: really well is pass the ball. But if you're gonna

749
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 6: hang your hand in Jacksonville' because of Trevor Lawrence, why

750
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 6: definitely rather have Justin Herbert than Trevor Lawrence. No matter

751
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 6: how good you think Lawrence is. Right now, you still

752
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 6: want Herbert and the Chargers pass defense matches up well.

753
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: The Jaguars pass.

754
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 6: Defense is bottom five, so you're gonna have a great

755
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 6: pass defense against a effectively rookie. Considering how we've treated

756
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 6: Lawrence all year, with last year gone and on the

757
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 6: other side he got Herbert should be able to pass

758
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 6: all over this team if he has receivers. Hopefully Mike

759
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 6: Williams is somewhere out there, but at least keenan Allian

760
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 6: I think he's the more important guy. So I love

761
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 6: this for the Chargers. I love this matchup, Jill. Both

762
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 6: you and I were on Chargers early. We talked about

763
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 6: them for futures. We wanted this five seed slot. I

764
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 6: still see eleven to one AFC. This is the reason

765
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 6: you get this match up here. Then you play the Chiefs,

766
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 6: who they went to wire with both times, who Herbert

767
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 6: and Staley have really had answers to hang around against

768
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 6: the Chiefs. I think the dangerous there. I don't want

769
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 6: to go all in on the Chiefs. I think I

770
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 6: want just the AFC, not Super Bowl, because I want

771
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 6: to have some options to hedge later on if we

772
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 6: do get out of there. But I like them a

773
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 6: lot in this matchup. I think they're better in all

774
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 6: three phases. They got the better quarterback, The da is

775
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 6: playing great. I think it's a great spots. My favorite

776
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 6: bet on the slide right now.

777
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

778
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 2: I think the one thing I would say is, obviously,

779
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 2: if you're going to be betting on an AFC championship future,

780
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: for example, you want at least to try to bet

781
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 2: on one one of the team that is going to

782
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: win and move in advance. So if you had to

783
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 2: choose between the Chargers of the Jaguars, you're looking at

784
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: eleven to one for the Chargers or a twenty one

785
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: to one for the I don't think it's a very

786
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: difficult choice to want to maybe back the Chargers in

787
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: this spot. I think the Titans game, I think the

788
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: one thing that we maybe glossed over when we recapped

789
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: it is just the offense was not very sharp. Like, yes,

790
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: they they got the defensive touchdown, but you know, they

791
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: only put up thirteen points in offense. One of the

792
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: scores that they had was actually like a turnover in

793
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: the Titans own territory from Josh Dobbs. So I'm not

794
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: saying that Herbert might not have a little bit of

795
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: turnover prone here, But at the same time, there's just

796
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: too many edges for the Chargers in this spot. I

797
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: think from a touchdown perspective, if I'm betting on this game,

798
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 2: I'd be looking at a guy like Gerald Everetts. He

799
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: did score this past week on Week eighteen, and that

800
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: is one of the phases, especially in the slot, that

801
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 2: the Jaguars do struggle with. From a Jaguars standpoint, you

802
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: gotta look at Trevor Lawrence immediately because the Chargers, even

803
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: though they have been really good against the pass, they

804
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: are still struggling against the run. And that is one

805
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: spot where if the Jags are going to have any success,

806
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: that's where they got to have it. And I would

807
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: rather put my money on Lawrence than Ettien.

808
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 5: And when you look at the Jaguars here second half

809
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 5: of the year, their two offensive outbursts we like second

810
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 5: half rallies Ravens. Cowboys just not a complete package team.

811
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 5: They did beat the line the Titans rather handedly. You're

812
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: talking about the game that they played the first time around.

813
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: Well, and even that Chargers game the first time they played,

814
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: Like Justin Herbert had broken ribs in that game too.

815
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: That's right that we shouldn't overlook.

816
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 5: That's a good call by you, Jill. So that line

817
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 5: sitting at one and a half. Folks at action are

818
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 5: on the looking at the over right now as well.

819
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 5: That creeps up right now. It's at forty seven, So

820
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 5: keep an eye on the total as well. On to Sunday,

821
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 5: Dolphins Bills they meet again round three in Buffalo. Bills

822
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 5: are a ten point favorite. This is complicated because we

823
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 5: don't really know yet who the quarterback is for Miami,

824
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: and Brandon will get to that. Remember, just kind of

825
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 5: take folks back into these teams met week three, hot

826
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 5: as hell in Miami in September.

827
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: We all know that, but then you actually watch the

828
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: game and you're like, oh, yeah, these guys are really tired.

829
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: They ran ninety plays in that game.

830
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 5: So Buffalo just looked gassed. If you recall some funky

831
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 5: stuff at the end by the Buffalo offense. Miami won

832
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: the game twenty one nineteen, they were a home dog,

833
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 5: and then in Week fifteen, Buffalo barely escaped thirty two

834
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 5: to twenty nine your finals, so Miami covered twice.

835
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: They won outright one of these games. But the big

836
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: question is who the quarterback is.

837
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and both games really classics.

838
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 6: That Week fifteen game was the snow Globe game that

839
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 6: we got just the perfect Buffalo setting, just the big

840
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 6: flakes coming down at the end. So as a fan,

841
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 6: as a neutral, hopefully we keep the trend up. We've

842
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 6: had two awesome games between these two teams. Right now

843
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 6: that Bills are ten point favorites because we just saw

844
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 6: Scaler Thompson like barely remember to throw the ball forward

845
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: most of the time. So well, yeah, I don't know

846
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 6: how you can really bet this one until we get

847
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 6: a better feel for which quarterback, even if it is Tua,

848
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 6: which I have my doubts about because of all the

849
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 6: concussion of problems this year. Don't forget though, that's not

850
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 6: necessarily a cure all because the offense, even with him,

851
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 6: had really been struggling down the stretch too. So my

852
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 6: instinct is I'm gonna probably wait on this one maybe

853
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 6: end up doing like a Dolphins team total under. That's

854
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 6: where I went with today. I just don't have a

855
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 6: lot of confidence in this team scoring points right now.

856
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 6: Miami has really look they nearly tightened their way out

857
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 6: of the season. They only got in by that late

858
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 6: field goal here. Otherwise I think we'd be thinking a

859
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 6: very similar story about them.

860
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: So my question on this one.

861
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 6: We had a lot of a lot of unknowns this

862
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 6: week about what's gonna happen with the one seed and

863
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 6: the Bills and the Bengals and the Chiefs and all that,

864
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 6: because of course they canceled the Monday night game and

865
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 6: they had to kind of make up.

866
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 3: Some new rules.

867
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 6: So one of the new things things is if the

868
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 6: Bills do make the AFC Championship Game, if they beat

869
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 6: the Dolphins and then presumably would probably play the Bengals again,

870
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 6: then we got a neutral site. So we're not doing

871
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 6: Chiefs because they're off next week. If we end up

872
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 6: with that Bills Chiefs game, I'm curious who you guys

873
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 6: think that a neutral site helps more, not necessarily, like well,

874
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 6: I would be at Kansas City, we don't know. We

875
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 6: don't know where it would have been at So which

876
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 6: team you know January football style of play? Do you

877
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 6: think the Chiefs or the Bills Jill benefit more from

878
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 6: a neutral site game?

879
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 2: I think I have to go with the Bills because

880
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: I think I would pose it as a different answer,

881
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: like which team doesn't hurt the most? I think it

882
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 2: hurts the Chiefs the most, and not play an arrowhead

883
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 2: if they were playing the AFC title game. They played

884
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: there the last four straight years, right, so they're used

885
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 2: to playing in that kind of environment, and they're the

886
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 2: type of team I think that feeds on that type

887
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: of energy. So not to say that playing in a

888
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: neutral field they wouldn't be able to be just as

889
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: efficient offensively, but yeah, I think the Chiefs have more

890
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: to lose than the Bills have more to gain if

891
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 2: it was at a neutral site.

892
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 5: Okay, on the Giants Vikings. This is the final game

893
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 5: of Sunday, Yes, no part of me. Middle game of Sunday.

894
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 5: Giants Vikings.

895
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: Oh here we are again, Vikings laying three just like

896
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: they did week sixteen. Brandon. They're at home and uh

897
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: well the Giants they were.

898
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 5: I think there were some fours fours at four and

899
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 5: a half's out there for the Week sixteen game. But

900
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 5: you saw three three and a half, and I think

901
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 5: myself I was on three and a half at the

902
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 5: time Week sixteen, Greg Joseph has to hit a sixty

903
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 5: one yard field goal for those lucky son of bitches

904
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 5: Vikings to escape again, and they're laying three.

905
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: So I feel like folks are what they're gonna wait

906
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: for the three and a half? Right?

907
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 6: Is it could get to three and a half, I

908
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 6: mean they could, but yeah, I sure want to wait

909
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 6: for it as it better as someone telling you how

910
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 6: to bet. When this hits three and a half, you

911
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 6: have got to be on the Giants here because you

912
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 6: have to be wanting that spot off of the key number.

913
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 6: Even without I think the Giants are probably gonna end

914
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 6: up being the player. And that's the problem is where

915
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 6: I think we're more likely to get to the two

916
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 6: and a half than the three, because I think even

917
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 6: at plus three, we're gonna see some Giants money come in.

918
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 6: Every team both or every game both of these teams

919
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 6: played all year was a one score game, basically like

920
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 6: the Vikings want today by more than one score for

921
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 6: literally the second time all season. We were talking about

922
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 6: that that if you flip all the one score standings.

923
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 6: The Vikings finished the season two and fifteen, at the

924
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 6: bottom of the entire NFL. So when this game happened,

925
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 6: last time I did that funky thing We've talked about

926
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 6: a couple of times where I played both sides to

927
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 6: win by six. It hit last time we got the

928
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 6: great Joseph walkoff winner. I feel like I'm probably just

929
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 6: gonna up doing that again. Of course we're gonna have

930
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 6: a one score game. It's the Giants and the Vikings.

931
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 6: They can't do anything other on that. I think it's

932
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 6: a good teaser spot for the Giants, even at three,

933
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 6: because you get that up to nine, all right, all

934
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 6: you need is anything that's a one score game. Who

935
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 6: cares after that? So that's an easy one. I don't

936
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 6: think this game like I'm a Vikings fan. Of course,

937
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 6: this game is not relevant to anything important from a

938
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 6: standpoint of neither of these teams winning the Super Bowl.

939
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 6: The relevance is this, the Giants are alive. The Giants

940
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 6: absolutely can win out right. If they do, it drastically

941
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 6: changes the rest of the NFC picture, because now the

942
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 6: Giants probably go to Philadelphia in their opening game and

943
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 6: Eagles essentially are getting a bye week into the NFC Championship.

944
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 3: Where they're at home. That's great.

945
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 6: We just saw how that win today for them, and

946
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 6: now Brock Purdy has to play either Tampa Bay Tom

947
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 6: Brady or Dallas and all the pass rush. Dak Prescott.

948
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 6: San Franz certainly wants Minnesota to win this game and

949
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 6: would be happy to host the Vikings, and I would

950
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 6: cry about the punishment my Vikings would take in that

951
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 6: game if the Giants pull off the upset here. This

952
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 6: would If you like the Giants here, you should like

953
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 6: the Eagles to win the NFC much more.

954
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: Good way of looking at it.

955
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 5: Giants, by the way, the most profitable team in the

956
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 5: NFL this year against the spread. They were thirteen and

957
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 5: four against the number this year, and a lot of

958
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 5: those spots are the one they're in this weekend underdog

959
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 5: short underdog in a lot of cases. Jill, what do

960
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 5: you think second match up between the Giants and Vikings

961
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 5: and it came down to a field goal last time?

962
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this game is going to break the

963
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 2: Action Network luck rankings because usually, like our colleagues Nick

964
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: Giffin and Sean Kerner, you know they'll recommend like oh,

965
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: this team based on the luck standings, Well, there's gonna

966
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: be no edge on that because both of those teams

967
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: have blucked into kind of being where they are in

968
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs in the NFC. I think I'm just gonna

969
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 2: have to take Giants line. I'm sorry, Brandon, but like

970
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: it's just right now. The game was so close last time.

971
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: The Giants have just a horseshoe up their ass, and

972
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to shoehorn that horseshoe right up to my

973
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 2: bookies ass as I bet this game.

974
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: Damn blame You can't blame you, but your poor bookie.

975
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 5: Okay. And it's not quite primetime for Kirk Cousins. I mean,

976
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 5: it's just it's a standalone game, right, But it's four thirty.

977
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: There is a little bit of maybe in Minnesota at

978
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: four thirty, there's no light.

979
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 5: They are inside, but not quite under the lights at

980
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 5: that point yet for Kirk Cousins. Okay, On to the

981
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 5: Sunday night game this coming weekend, Wildcard Weekend Baltimore Cincinnati.

982
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 5: They just played each other, right, We just saw these

983
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 5: teams face each other, Brandon. They were matched up in

984
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 5: Week five at Baltimore. Came down to the end Ravens

985
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 5: won on a Justin tucker Field goal nineteen to seventeen.

986
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 5: And once again I ask you, well, I'm asking you.

987
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 5: I'm kind of playing dumb here because I want you

988
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 5: to explain it. But is the number which is six?

989
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 5: The the Ravens are a six point underdog. Now it's

990
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 5: up to six and a half as we talk to

991
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 5: you now late night Sunday early Monday morning.

992
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: Is this baked? Is this Lamar Jackson news baked in?

993
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: Meaning Lamar is playing or not playing?

994
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 3: I think we're hedging.

995
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 6: I think we're in the middle on this one, kind

996
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 6: of waiting this one out to see if he ends

997
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 6: up playing. I think we don't know yet. And the

998
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 6: problem is, even if he does play, it's been ages

999
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 6: since he played. Like, we don't know what version of

1000
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson we're getting, so you have to kind of

1001
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 6: bake that into it as well. We don't necessarily just

1002
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 6: get MVP Lamar Jackson back out here. Dude hasn't even

1003
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 6: practiced yet. Yeah, Like I hate to go out Alan iverson,

1004
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 6: but we're talking about practice here right Like you if

1005
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 6: you can't even practice, you're not going to go out

1006
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 6: and like do Lamar Jackson things running all over the

1007
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 6: field and being the entire offense what At the same time,

1008
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 6: I think you're pregnant up on the Ravens on this game,

1009
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 6: because it's a divisional game, divisional rematch, and the playoffs

1010
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 6: often stay very close. If the Ravens had tried today,

1011
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 6: what I would have expected was a low scoring, defensive

1012
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 6: slog sort of game that you know, that's what John

1013
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 6: Harbad does. And I think we at least have to

1014
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 6: expect Tyler Huntley next week, not Anthony Brown like today

1015
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 6: and some of the other Ravens guys trying and Huntley,

1016
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 6: if I remember right, every game Huntley has played in

1017
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 6: has been at least three points or less or they've

1018
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 6: won out right, I think all about one have been

1019
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 6: that way, So I'm bringing at least Huntley. If it's Huntley,

1020
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 6: I will probably like the Ravens to cover here, but

1021
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 6: the Bengals maybe to find a way or maybe a

1022
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 6: second half play. If it's Lamar Jackson, if he actually

1023
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 6: looks good to go, the Ravens are live to win

1024
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 6: this game and maybe more just because they are a

1025
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 6: different team, and different teams in the playoffs are always

1026
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 6: a little difficult. You never know when you might get

1027
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 6: the right matchup. Ravens run the ball really well and

1028
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 6: a lot a lot of times, and they defend well.

1029
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 3: They defend the run well.

1030
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 6: And if you can stop the run and run the

1031
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 6: ball in January in a league where no one really

1032
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 6: cares about running anymore. But the best way to keep

1033
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 6: the Josh Allens and Mahomes and Herbert's and all those

1034
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 6: other AFC quarterbacks of the world off the scoreboard is

1035
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 6: over on the sidelines. Why we just run the ball

1036
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 6: all game long. So I'm intrigued here. I'm be intrigued

1037
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 6: by Baltimore. They look like trash right now. They can't

1038
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 6: score at all. But if it goes right, I think

1039
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 6: there's a chance here where they could surprise a little bit.

1040
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Ravens did not play the Chiefs in

1041
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 5: the regular season this year, so that's a matchup we

1042
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 5: haven't seen.

1043
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: With Lamar and Olamar. They just didn't face each other

1044
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: at all.

1045
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 6: So I have to laugh because they didn't play this year.

1046
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 6: But I recall something like three years I have been

1047
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 6: absolutely confident if you would build a team to beat

1048
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 6: the Chiefs, you would build these Baltimore Ravens and I

1049
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 6: back them, and I'm ready every year, and every year

1050
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 6: I get pants and the Chiefs just take care of

1051
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 6: business against the Ravens. So hopefully, for the sake of

1052
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 6: my wallet, I don't get suckered back into that one.

1053
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 6: But I have to laugh because I know that one's

1054
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 6: been a thorn in my side. So I will be

1055
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 6: very interested. I know Stucky oround six pack is always

1056
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 6: has very clear thoughts.

1057
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: On the Ravens. I would be very interested to see

1058
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 3: what he thinks of this team's chances.

1059
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 5: Jill, when you look at this matchup, two teams that

1060
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 5: just faced each other but could look very different based

1061
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 5: on starters being rested.

1062
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: In the Lamar Jackson situation, what jumps out to you.

1063
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 2: I think, if you think that Lamar Jackson is going

1064
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: to play, you take the Ravens spread right now. If

1065
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 2: you don't think he's going to play, you take the

1066
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 2: Bengals and you get it in asap. Because the line

1067
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 2: closed today at eleven and a half in this matchup,

1068
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 2: and I think if Lamar plays, will probably maybe drop

1069
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: to five four and a half. I think it would

1070
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: probably be around there. For it's around six six and

1071
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 2: a half, so that's kind of what it is right

1072
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 2: now is that it's more about your your conviction. If

1073
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: you feel that Lamar is going to play, grab it.

1074
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: If you don't, then you better grab the Bengals now,

1075
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 2: because as soon as Anthony Brown or Tyler Huntley get announced,

1076
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: that line is going to shoot up even more on

1077
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: the Bengals side.

1078
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 5: All right. And then finally Monday Night, Cowboys Bucks Tampa

1079
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,479
Speaker 5: home dog Tom Brady a home dog in the playoffs. Wow,

1080
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 5: Cowboys are lay in three at Tampa. They met in

1081
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 5: Week one. These two teams met Week one, Bucks won

1082
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 5: nineteen to three, same night that Dak Prescott got hurt.

1083
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 5: And I think we all that was our first time

1084
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 5: together doing the recap show, and I think I was like,

1085
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 5: we were all losing our minds about this. But turns

1086
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 5: out Dak came back and well, he hasn't played great.

1087
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 5: I know Jill talked about this earlier. The interceptions have

1088
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 5: been not good. We'll start with Jill on this one. Jill,

1089
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 5: what do you think Cowboys laying three on the road.

1090
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 2: I think it's a fair line based on what we've

1091
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: seen between both of these teams. But the fact that

1092
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: I am a Cowboys fan and immediately put money down

1093
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 2: on the Buccaneers money line just shows like the faith

1094
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 2: that I have in this team right now is that

1095
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 2: they're kind of stumbling into the playoffs, like once the

1096
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 2: seed was locked in, like once they got the double

1097
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: digit wins, it almost kind of feels like they were just,

1098
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: you know, trying to just tread water to get to

1099
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs. It's almost like they knew that they couldn't

1100
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 2: get the one seed from the Eagles at this point.

1101
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: So you could argue that this is the matchup that

1102
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 2: you wanted, but I don't think so. This is not

1103
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 2: a type of defense that you want to face, especially

1104
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 2: with how they've kind of ramped up their intensity, and

1105
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 2: they're the type of offense that could take advantage of

1106
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: Dallas's in competencies on defense, especially over the slot with

1107
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: a guy like Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, I think

1108
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 2: they could really take advantage of them there. So yeah,

1109
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks win this game, unfortunately, And uh yeah,

1110
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to probably weep in my pillow Monday night.

1111
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: All that's too bad.

1112
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 5: Well, you can weep on the podcast too when we

1113
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 5: do the recap show after Monday night if you want.

1114
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 3: Immediately after that game.

1115
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's actually going to be fantastic to get

1116
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 5: raw emotional Jill no matter what win.

1117
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 6: Or loss or raw emotional tom Brady lover with the

1118
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 6: loss when you're hosting, so win when for me, either way,

1119
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 6: I get to just laugh at one of y'all losing

1120
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 6: your team for the year. I think that this is

1121
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 6: a pretty good matchup for Tampa Bay. The thing that

1122
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 6: you love about Dallas if you think Dallas can make

1123
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 6: a run still and look, I was on Green Dot

1124
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 6: Daily like a month or month and a half ago

1125
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 6: backing Dallas for the run. You like their pass rush,

1126
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 6: you like how they can get after the passer. But

1127
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 6: Campa Bay gets the ball out so fast because that's

1128
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 6: tom Brady's thing that that kind of neutralizes the Micah

1129
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 6: Parsons factor. And Dallas's pass defense has not been good

1130
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 6: at all, Like defending the past, tom Brady, I think

1131
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 6: could have a throwback game a little bit here and

1132
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 6: put up some numbers on this team. Tampa Bay's defense

1133
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 6: also hasn't been good down the stretch, so maybe we

1134
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 6: get an over here. I'm curious, I don't have the total.

1135
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 6: Do you have a total on this game right now?

1136
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 5: Uh?

1137
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: Forty five and a half on Fando.

1138
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 3: Interesting.

1139
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would instinctively, I would lean over on that.

1140
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 6: I want to look a little bit before I play.

1141
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, my prediction for this game is just something stupid.

1142
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 6: It's gonna happen.

1143
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,240
Speaker 3: That's it. Something ridiculous is going to happen.

1144
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: To one last year Dallas last year against San Francisco, Like.

1145
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 6: You can just I could script one hundred different ways

1146
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 6: for this game to play out and end, and every

1147
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 6: single one of them would be believable. Because it's Tom Brady,

1148
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 6: it's Dak Prescott, it's Jerry Jones. Every narrative coming out

1149
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 6: of this game will be delightful. I think it'll be

1150
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 6: a fun one. Tampa is way better at home. The

1151
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 6: offense especially is way better at home. I hate to

1152
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 6: do it, but we've been trashing the Bucks. I trashed

1153
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 6: them like half an hour on this podcast. But I

1154
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 6: think it's probably a Tampa spot again. Looks like a

1155
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 6: pretty good teaser leg to me. If you get Tampa

1156
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 6: up to plus nine, it's hard to imagine Tom Brady

1157
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 6: just getting blown out to end the season, especially with

1158
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 6: the Dallas pass defense, just because I think that back

1159
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 6: door would be open. For plenty of points, But to me,

1160
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 6: the NFC is not as exciting as the AFC. I

1161
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 6: think it's hard to see anything but San fran at

1162
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 6: Philly and the NFC title game. If it's not, it's

1163
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 6: got to be this game, right, It's got to be

1164
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 6: one of these two teams that makes the run. One

1165
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 6: of these teams is gonna lose, that's great for Brandon

1166
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 6: the fan, but one of them is gonna win and

1167
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 6: then be very dangerous in the next round against whoever

1168
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 6: it is that they face.

1169
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1170
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 6: I probably won't go too crazy betting on this one,

1171
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 6: but I will be terrified of whoever wins going on

1172
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 6: a run after that, just because the narratives will go

1173
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 6: out of control.

1174
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 5: No too, to Brandon's point, if Dallas wins, don't they

1175
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 5: kind of get the monkey off their back, like, all right,

1176
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 5: we got the playoff win.

1177
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 3: Like, no, it's got to be.

1178
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: It's got to be an NFC title game appearance or nothing.

1179
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 2: It's going to be at least that for the season

1180
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 2: not to be considered a disappointment.

1181
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 3: I disagree.

1182
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 6: I think that whoever wins this game is going to

1183
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 6: be dangerous, Like as the futures analyst, I suspect coming

1184
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 6: out of this weekend's game, whoever wins this game is

1185
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 6: going to be the team that has the best odds

1186
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 6: for a futures bet going forward, just because you're still

1187
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 6: gonna have Tom. And look, Dak sucks with all the

1188
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 6: interceptions has been throwing. But and I know this doesn't

1189
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 6: work this way, but if you do non turnover plays

1190
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 6: the other plays the rest of the game, Dak is

1191
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 6: basically a second only to Patrick Mahomes on EPA DVA.

1192
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 6: All those numbers, the turnovers count, but they're right there.

1193
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 6: Take one or two mistakes away for the game, and

1194
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 6: Dallas is still really good and Tampa finally is getting

1195
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 6: a little healthier. They got to rest today. These teams

1196
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 6: are dangerous. I just wish nothing but last for them

1197
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 6: on Monday night. But I'm gonna have fun watching and then.

1198
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 3: Be scared crap blits after that of whoever comes out,

1199
00:57:58,840 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 3: and we.

1200
