Speaker 1: thank you for joining us. Thank you for being on time.
Speaker 1: Actually you gave me a great in here. But when
Speaker 1: I know what the time is, I'm always on time.
Speaker 1: Although another person, I'm not going to mention who came
Speaker 1: at one eleven. We won't talk about which casino, I
Speaker 1: mean exactly mean all right, and our rotating guests for
Speaker 1: the week, brand new guests. They flew into town. I'd
Speaker 1: like to think just to do this podcast for sure.
Speaker 1: Maybe they needed a break too. I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: we need a little bit of a break. But it's
Speaker 1: the famed mega pod Gil, so I'm thrilled that they're here.
Speaker 1: He is the host of the pre Snap Picks podcast.
Speaker 1: It's Bradley porous. Everybody, thank you for doing this. Brad Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, go. I I appreciate it. Have my uh
Speaker 1: my wife here, Bethan. She's joins us on the pre
Speaker 1: stnat Picks podcast as well. But like I said, I
Speaker 1: was good. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know if
Speaker 1: you're gonna get this, Okay, al right, here they're a
Speaker 1: professional hosts and then they're like podcast. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I fall in the latter category. No, no, no, I mean,
Speaker 1: but explain why Bethany the best part of the pre
Speaker 1: Stnap Picks podcast, and the reason that Bethany is here
Speaker 1: is explain to everybody she So, I have my cost
Speaker 1: co host of the Priest Nat Picks podcast is my
Speaker 1: buddy Russ Vaughan, and we try and get in depth
Speaker 1: and we try and make a great job. Yeah, thank you,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. But then we have Bethany who comes
Speaker 1: in and she has her own, uh exactly how she picks,
Speaker 1: and both Russ and I and I'm actually in the
Speaker 1: circuit contest and I'm nine in six. I like to
Speaker 1: think that's not bad, that's good, right, Yeah. But then
Speaker 1: over here I got my wife making these picks and
Speaker 1: she's thirteen and two thirteen and two. So the point,
Speaker 1: here's why Bethany is here, because we're going to pontificate
Speaker 1: about all these games. And then Bethany's just gonna say here,
Speaker 1: here are my picks, and these are better than all
Speaker 1: of your. Yeah, and it's if you really want to
Speaker 1: win and go ahead, Bethany, what would you how would
Speaker 1: you explain to people? What what is your process of
Speaker 1: coming up with these picks? My process is very in
Speaker 1: depth and the thodical I um watch Netflix um, and
Speaker 1: I scroll Pinterest and then my husband tells me what
Speaker 1: the lines are and I go with the mother's intuition
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to pay for college here, hopefully Harvard
Speaker 1: Yale one day. Those are the big dreams. Um. So
Speaker 1: if he would listen to me and take my pigs,
Speaker 1: we could pay for that college. And they just have
Speaker 1: to let her take over from here. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: go through our normal format and Bethany's gonna jump in
Speaker 1: when she wants to with her picks. And then everybody
Speaker 1: listening can decide, does our you know, our our exhaustive
Speaker 1: research coming up with our picks, does that trump with
Speaker 1: Bethany just comes up with whatever snap of the fingers
Speaker 1: or whatever things she sees to go up with these picks?
Speaker 1: Best book. I hope that Bethany continues to crush you.
Speaker 1: And that's the first because at first I thought it
Speaker 1: would be fun, and then all of a sudden, she
Speaker 1: just started beating me. And it's she now. She just
Speaker 1: she gives me. She gives me a crap every time
Speaker 1: she does a show. So good morning, Bethany, are you
Speaker 1: betting these picks? Um? If my husband would let me,
Speaker 1: but well, let her. Know, it's a very dictatorship. It's
Speaker 1: a dictorial situation. At what point will Bradley start betting, Bethany?
Speaker 1: I mean, how how big of a sample size do
Speaker 1: we need before you'll start following? And she I'll tell
Speaker 1: you here right now, if you go three and two
Speaker 1: this week, you can take over the next quarter. So
Speaker 1: she'll be eight percent for the quarter. If she does
Speaker 1: take over just in time for regression and two would
Speaker 1: be tied for third in the circum million contest. Right now, Gil,
Speaker 1: how by the way do you live to that at all?
Speaker 1: How bitter are you that you're not in the contest?
Speaker 1: Um a little better because I let him leave me
Speaker 1: with our two children, um lovely heathens that they are
Speaker 1: sometimes to come be in the circa. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I need to pick two, obviously, obviously I need to
Speaker 1: pick two. He can if he can be till you're betting,
Speaker 1: can you ve till his betting? You know, that's a
Speaker 1: great question. You know. I love this idea, I really do.
Speaker 1: This is a really good influence. I like this. He's
Speaker 1: really what state, Bethany? What state do you guys lived in? Texas? Right? Texas? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: oh Yeah, they don't allow that over there. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: All right, So before we get into the format here,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Thursday night game. If there's anything
Speaker 1: to talk about with the Thursday night game, not exactly
Speaker 1: the greatest matchup. Maybe it's bettable, Uh, Mikey survivor update,
Speaker 1: circu millions update? What's that? Well? I mentioned a circu million.
Speaker 1: So there's two players that have thirteen and a half points.
Speaker 1: They're leading the way. And remember this is the final
Speaker 1: week of the first quarter. More than it's more than that,
Speaker 1: it's it's like I get an update because we went
Speaker 1: over that goes into the first place in the quarters.
Speaker 1: So I think it's like a hundred and seventies some
Speaker 1: thousand in his first place, and then second is seventy
Speaker 1: five and third is fifty in the quarters. All the
Speaker 1: people that I knew I knew. I knew a nine
Speaker 1: oh and one. I know a nine oh and one
Speaker 1: guy two weeks and a nine and one they crapped
Speaker 1: out in the week three. Yeah, So there's I think
Speaker 1: within a point and a half, there's like thirty three
Speaker 1: people within a point and a half from thirteen and
Speaker 1: a half to twelve that have twelve or more going in,
Speaker 1: so it should be really interesting, especially because we're paying
Speaker 1: three spots, not one this year. So three spots in
Speaker 1: the quarter. Yeah, each quarter pays three, so it's one
Speaker 1: seventies something. Second place of seventy five thousand and third
Speaker 1: is fifty. This is better. I thought, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I already thought it was great. Yeah, and survivor,
Speaker 1: we over a hundred got knocked out. It's incredible, guest.
Speaker 1: So remember the first week there were seventeen entries that
Speaker 1: didn't put a pick in. Oh did that happen again?
Speaker 1: So now we went from thirteen eight oh five and
Speaker 1: then the incredible second week, we're only four people were
Speaker 1: em so we had eight oh one. So I'm going
Speaker 1: through Tuesday night all the picks that seen how many
Speaker 1: people were leimonated, right, So I'm sorry, I'm like, so
Speaker 1: we should have six eighty left a hundred excuse me,
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty one people got knocked out by
Speaker 1: their pick. But at six oh no, five five entries
Speaker 1: and week three didn't submit thank you. Five entries. That's
Speaker 1: worse than the seventeen and week one that is worse.
Speaker 1: They made it through two weeks and they didn't put
Speaker 1: in a week three brightness for that. There's no excuse.
Speaker 1: It's just the week one has a three and oh Survivor.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, say again, Todd sham has me a three
Speaker 1: and oh in Survivor. I explained last week, I will pick.
Speaker 1: I will pick every week a Survivor pick it will win.
Speaker 1: And because I'm not in a Survivor contest, I would
Speaker 1: have won, but didn't because I'm not in it. So
Speaker 1: if you guys really just want to win the contest,
Speaker 1: just go with my Survivor pick every week. I am
Speaker 1: actually one of the six d seventy five Todds, so
Speaker 1: pardon me. First of all, Schem for those who missed
Speaker 1: it last week. Schem is the Hebrew word for name tame,
Speaker 1: which is the literal translation of how Orthodox Jews, which
Speaker 1: Todd wants upon a time was for God. So God
Speaker 1: has them in three and oh, Hashem would be the
Speaker 1: name correct has Chem, But he I said Chem, alright,
Speaker 1: let's get m I said, you didn't hear me video
Speaker 1: on this. Pardon me, pardon me, I apologize Jesus. It's
Speaker 1: Jesus part of this equation. So well, denver at the
Speaker 1: jets uh Jets are now favored by one because, apparently,
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football, apparently, the difference between uh, Jeff
Speaker 1: Driscoll and Brett Rippon, nephew of the great Mark Rippon
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty seven m v P from January, the Redskins,
Speaker 1: the greatest football team there ever was not just per
Speaker 1: me but per football outsiders, better than the eighty five Bears,
Speaker 1: better than any Patriots iteration. I could go on about
Speaker 1: this for an hour, but I won't. Brett Rippon, the
Speaker 1: difference between Driscoll to Rippon apparently is four three or
Speaker 1: four points of the line, but the difference between Mitch
Speaker 1: Drobiscuit and Nick Foles is nothing. That's I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe that's maybe that's what it should be. But the
Speaker 1: Jets are now one point favorites largely because of that. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's start with our guest Brad Porus and his lovely
Speaker 1: wife Bethany. You guys have any thoughts on this game
Speaker 1: at all? So I'm going to flip the script on you, Gill,
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna go straight to where you normally go
Speaker 1: the end of the podcast. This is a game I
Speaker 1: want absolutely to make me bet every game, but this
Speaker 1: one this week worst two teams ProFootball Focus, d v
Speaker 1: o A, Foball Outsiders, and I'm pretty sure Todd Wishnet's
Speaker 1: googl losh model hasn't as the bottom of two teams
Speaker 1: as well. Good knowledge. Yeah, I mean I liked inverse defense.
Speaker 1: They looked at the first two weeks. I picked him
Speaker 1: last week kind of screwed me over, and uh, I'm
Speaker 1: just Brett Ripping. I don't know what I'm getting. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody knows what we're getting. So I didn't
Speaker 1: really like Sam Donald coming out of us. See, we
Speaker 1: all know about Adam Gates. I went a part of
Speaker 1: it bred ripping at a Boise State. Just got off
Speaker 1: the practice squad the day before game time last day,
Speaker 1: so we got off it on Saturday. There was a
Speaker 1: choice between Driscoll Ripping and Blake Bortles and Vic Faggio
Speaker 1: and crew decide to go with Brett Rippon here. Uh, Bethany,
Speaker 1: is this one of your players or no? No, this
Speaker 1: is not one of my plays. If Peyton Manning was
Speaker 1: on this team, it would have been love me some Peyton,
Speaker 1: but he is no longer with the team. Mikey anything,
Speaker 1: it's my third best bet. Come on, stop on the
Speaker 1: total though, what who are you playing? I'm playing the
Speaker 1: New York Jets, j E t s Jets, Jets Jets.
Speaker 1: Why do you really think that Denver is going to
Speaker 1: go on the road and win with Brett Rippon? Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? I'm with Bradley. I had Tampa I
Speaker 1: had them against Tampa Bay last week. They were they
Speaker 1: were awful. I was fooled by Driscoll's performance in the
Speaker 1: second half against the Steelers, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a takeaway about the Steelers defense, but this is
Speaker 1: a This is a must win game for Gaze. I
Speaker 1: think he's he's gone by Friday morning, tomorrow morning if
Speaker 1: they lose this game. If this game was on Thursday night,
Speaker 1: would he have been going already. Possibly? Yeah, So this
Speaker 1: is a must win game now. The only risky thing
Speaker 1: about this is if the Jets players want him gone,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe they're gonna lose. They'll lose this game. Sorry coach,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I agree with the line moving. I think
Speaker 1: the Jets are the winners here. I'm gonna use it
Speaker 1: as one of my best places. Wow, Mikey number three,
Speaker 1: Todd anything, No, I don't like this game. It's it's ugly,
Speaker 1: it's nasty. I'll probably just in game it see what's
Speaker 1: going on. I don't really have any opinions. The Jets
Speaker 1: killed me last week. I was up big early in
Speaker 1: the day and then Mr Sam interception pick six guy
Speaker 1: gets involved, and you know they even had a chance
Speaker 1: because he roll. He rolled them right back down the
Speaker 1: field to go seven seven. Then he was driving again.
Speaker 1: When they were down either fourteen seven or seventeen seven,
Speaker 1: he throws a pick in the end zone. So you know,
Speaker 1: I hate this game. I was harping on this all
Speaker 1: week on both the Numbers game in Primetime Action. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard of have an MSG plus
Speaker 1: show prime Time Action. I'm thinking about moving to New
Speaker 1: York City. I have to tell you so much fun.
Speaker 1: But I've been harping on it all week, maybe on
Speaker 1: guessing lines to the uncatchable past thing has become an
Speaker 1: epidemic in the league. So there were like three different games,
Speaker 1: three different games where an uncatchable pass should have been
Speaker 1: called instead of a p I and they affected the games.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Jets would have won that game
Speaker 1: against Colts, but it was seven to seven rivers through
Speaker 1: some nonsense up into the end zone. Ball could not
Speaker 1: have been caught. They threw the flag anyway, and the
Speaker 1: floodgates were open. Not that it might have changed the outcome,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, if you're not gonna call it,
Speaker 1: get the word out of the rule book. The ref
Speaker 1: The refs are fantastic in the National Football League. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you watch the Sunday Night Football game, they were
Speaker 1: only off by an entire yard on a fourth down
Speaker 1: play a terrible yeah with the zig zag spotting method,
Speaker 1: I mean that thing. That method is very strong. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you can miss a spot by an entire yard,
Speaker 1: fantastic job. NFL off as their first zig zag spotty
Speaker 1: method of the year. I'm left longing for the days
Speaker 1: of past interference challenges. There's a bad guy thought the
Speaker 1: same thing I was like. I never thought I would
Speaker 1: ask for those, but there should be challenged. Um. Best
Speaker 1: bets time, Let's start with those, Brad your number one
Speaker 1: of three best bets. Number one gonna go against Not
Speaker 1: that I'm a big Texas Cowboy fan, but I'm going
Speaker 1: against Cowboys. I'm going to Cleveland Browns plus four and
Speaker 1: a half I'd really like to see him get Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt back, because whenever Hunt that he's he's a weapon.
Speaker 1: They put you know, running the ball, put him out,
Speaker 1: spread him out wide. Hunt and Chubb or a deadly
Speaker 1: two headed monster. But the thing I really like here
Speaker 1: is I like the way the Cleveland offensive line, in
Speaker 1: both defensive lines are playing. They went out and got Conklin,
Speaker 1: they got Jedderick Wills in the draft. They already had
Speaker 1: two monsters in Sheldon Richardson and Myn Garrett, Myles Garrett
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. I like the way that the
Speaker 1: h the Browns lines are playing, and I don't like
Speaker 1: the way that the Cowboys lines are playing. They could
Speaker 1: be they could be down to Marcus Lawrence and he
Speaker 1: he could be limited as well being hurt. And whenever
Speaker 1: we thought Cowboys back, and then you thought the anchor
Speaker 1: of that team is that offensive line that big Cowboys run,
Speaker 1: feed Zeke the deck attack. Frederick retired, Collins hurt, Tyren Smith.
Speaker 1: The only one left is Zack Martin on that line
Speaker 1: where they played well against the Sehawks and the Falcons,
Speaker 1: but they got absolutely destroyed by Aaron Donald the Rams.
Speaker 1: I like the matchup for the Browns here. I don't
Speaker 1: really don't get why the Browns. I mean, from what
Speaker 1: I've seen from the Cowboys so far, I don't get
Speaker 1: why the Browns are four and a half point dog.
Speaker 1: I like the Browns and smash Dallas defense, bad, bad,
Speaker 1: and hurt. They were questionable coming into the year and
Speaker 1: now they're all injured. No all, but you know what,
Speaker 1: so but the key players. Yeah, especially Okay, so Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Brad's first best bet Bethany Well, obviously my husband plagiarized
Speaker 1: my notes because he is dying to win like me. Um,
Speaker 1: So I am going to go with the Browns as
Speaker 1: well as my first best bet here, but for a
Speaker 1: very different reason. I love the Baker Mayfield commercials. You know,
Speaker 1: he has clearly made the Browns his home like you
Speaker 1: know stadium. Yeah, yes, yes, the whole team. He's such
Speaker 1: a homebody. I'm a homebody. I'm vibing with it this week.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna We're gonna go with the Browns. Browns
Speaker 1: because of Baker Mayfield's commercials. Yes, I gotta tell you, Brad,
Speaker 1: that explanation far better than yours, and I think so
Speaker 1: far better than yours. Mikey number one, same same saying, wow, wow,
Speaker 1: guaranteed losers. This game cannot possibly win, cannot possibly has
Speaker 1: no shot the brown the Cowboys. Everybody's crying about it
Speaker 1: was a bad beat. If you had the Cowboys. I
Speaker 1: want to punch the kidding me. The game should have
Speaker 1: been over if he doesn't fumble the ball. And you
Speaker 1: know who did this? No, it wasn't your body, it
Speaker 1: was somebody else. They're like, no, it was he. I
Speaker 1: was like, are you kidding me? In the game willingly?
Speaker 1: Willingly let's go to the Boy's Like, oh no, Gil,
Speaker 1: you want watching the same game. What Ezekiel Elliott has
Speaker 1: become an energy sucking source on that team. You give
Speaker 1: him the ball, it's a zero play and it kills
Speaker 1: their drives. That offensive line cannot run block. They're okay
Speaker 1: pass blockers, but they can't run block at all. So
Speaker 1: there's no point. And I don't think. I think he's
Speaker 1: a worse pass receiving back than I thought, because he
Speaker 1: does he he drops too many balls. He does, he does,
Speaker 1: he doesn't make quick cuts. Um, I think the wrong
Speaker 1: team's favored here. I think the Browns are the better team.
Speaker 1: I really do. And I know there will be what
Speaker 1: twenty six thousand people there, uh you know, in in
Speaker 1: that that state of Texas that doesn't recognize COVID. But but, but,
Speaker 1: but but I think that the Browns are better on
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball than the Cowboys. I think
Speaker 1: that I don't know who's gonna win the NFC East.
Speaker 1: There's not one decent team in the whole lot. Your
Speaker 1: Redskins are still vi I'm not getting you. Your Redskins
Speaker 1: are still viable. There. The Eagles picked up ground on
Speaker 1: the entire division with the tie last week. Now, I
Speaker 1: understand why Peters if he ties the rest of the way,
Speaker 1: That's why I wat this thing. Great week for the
Speaker 1: Eagles too, and fourteen might get it done. But the
Speaker 1: bottom line here is I think the Browns winning the
Speaker 1: game and I'll take the four and a half. Okay, Todd,
Speaker 1: please don't say look at Todd's ever ready? What are
Speaker 1: you doing, Todd? Todd? What are you doing back there? Um?
Speaker 1: I was turning on the light? Is that okay with you? Gill?
Speaker 1: That's okay? But what it's your turn? We'd rather you
Speaker 1: be in front of the game. Are ready to go?
Speaker 1: It's okay? What would you like to pick. What's your
Speaker 1: first best bet. I would like as my first best
Speaker 1: best bet the under in the Jacksonville Jaguars against the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Bengals of forty nine. I believe Cincinnati. You read Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: What did I say? Cleveland Beals? Oh, I'm sorry. The
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars go at it with
Speaker 1: a total of forty nine, and I would like to
Speaker 1: go under that forty nine. I've been watching a lot
Speaker 1: of this Bengals now. I know Joe Burrow is the
Speaker 1: second coming of Jesus in the Messiah wrapped in one
Speaker 1: as as soon as he gets his offensive line. I
Speaker 1: never heard Jesus or the Messiah eating an offensive line.
Speaker 1: But okay, I understand Joe Burrow is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: He's fantastic. He's the best, he says, and maybe he is,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying is. And he has looked pretty good
Speaker 1: for a rookie. Cincinnati does not stun me on the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. I think they're a team
Speaker 1: that can you know, they play the Chargers a lot
Speaker 1: of field goals. They seem like a team that can
Speaker 1: get you. In nineteen twenty three, twenty four, They're not
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna just light up the scoreboard. And
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars with Minshew, he's also been pretty good. But again,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these numbers are getting inflated
Speaker 1: to the point where it's getting ridiculous. Now. It's because
Speaker 1: so many games have gone over. I believe two thirds
Speaker 1: of the games have gone over in the first three weeks.
Speaker 1: It's the most overs we've had in the first three
Speaker 1: weeks of an NFL season in many years. I saw
Speaker 1: on Twitter somebody had it listed there and it's there's
Speaker 1: obviously been a ton of overs, no doubt. But now
Speaker 1: you notice the numbers are starting to get crazy inflated,
Speaker 1: all kind of fifties all over the board and forty
Speaker 1: nine for US Cincinnati Bengal Jacksonville Jaguar. It just sounds
Speaker 1: too high to me. I'm sorry, I've got to go
Speaker 1: under under forty nine. These are not teams that are
Speaker 1: incredibly offensive. Give me the under forty nine. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get the forty nine and a half. About that. See,
Speaker 1: you see what I do. I try to make it hard,
Speaker 1: so uh, we should probably have I probably buried the
Speaker 1: headline Pittsburgh Tennessee for those of visit, of course postponed
Speaker 1: because now you have five players on the Titans and
Speaker 1: five additional Firstondel tested positive positive for COVID nineteen. First
Speaker 1: it was delayed from Sunday to perhaps Monday, then perhaps
Speaker 1: to Tuesday. Now it's delayed beyond this week and beyond
Speaker 1: next week at a minimum. So no Pittsburgh, Tennessee, which
Speaker 1: from a viewing standpoint, by the way, just let me
Speaker 1: say we hope everybody's safe and healthy from all that
Speaker 1: and all their family members. But besides that, from a
Speaker 1: football viewing standpoint, that was one of ten games early
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so you know that's all right, we still
Speaker 1: got nine games to navigate through. It's not right. It's
Speaker 1: just not fair. You don't get to watch enough. It's
Speaker 1: it's bad because you don't have enough afternoon games for
Speaker 1: businesses to sustain their crowds there because it's beIN so
Speaker 1: far from you know, ten to three. What's what's the
Speaker 1: reasoning though they want they want ratings on two or
Speaker 1: three games. That's still in good business model for the NFL.
Speaker 1: You have to have to ask bread Britain knows about
Speaker 1: all the politics that go behind who do I ask
Speaker 1: Britain Musberger, most intimately familiar with the pro sports and
Speaker 1: television It might have something to do with the fact
Speaker 1: that the NFL owners are greedy, wealthy men who just
Speaker 1: want to line their pockets and could care less about
Speaker 1: their fans. Thank you very much for the seditorial. What
Speaker 1: about the baseball owners, Todd? Do you think have any
Speaker 1: thoughts about them as a group? And so that's all
Speaker 1: your people? I usually there's a small crime behind every
Speaker 1: large fortune, so I'm probably not. By the way, I
Speaker 1: will trade. I'll trade an O and three on my
Speaker 1: picks coming up if the Reds could just get one run.
Speaker 1: Come on, just war you're kidding me? Are you holding
Speaker 1: the big future stick? I am? I am one. I
Speaker 1: have a thousand and twenty two one to make the
Speaker 1: World Series? What I bet a thousand at twenty to
Speaker 1: one when they were twenty three and twenty six to
Speaker 1: win the Pennant. That was a disgrace. What happened? Yes,
Speaker 1: I have a whole list of all their gas A
Speaker 1: guy the worst is based Ready Votos based reading. By
Speaker 1: the way, he got such a free pass because he
Speaker 1: was Votto on that Brad, you're the baseball guy. You
Speaker 1: see that play, did not Bottom was on I got
Speaker 1: up from my couch. Bottom was on second, who was
Speaker 1: running the first and second? I got up on my
Speaker 1: couch and did the whole windmill wave and I'm like,
Speaker 1: we finally got a run. Yes, And they go back
Speaker 1: and Bottos hanging out a third phase. What does happened?
Speaker 1: How did you not score? Because he leaned back to
Speaker 1: second talking about Game one of the Reds Brave Series
Speaker 1: where the Reds just left thirteen on base first and
Speaker 1: third twice but nobody out couldn't get a run in first,
Speaker 1: sitting six and seventh, inning eleven, twelve, and thirteen. It
Speaker 1: is just horrible. So anyway, we're still zero zero here
Speaker 1: deep into this game is in totals three and a half.
Speaker 1: And anyway, my first best bet in the National Football
Speaker 1: League this weekend is the Miami Dolphins. Tod Mymi Dolphins,
Speaker 1: Mymi Dolphins. Gil picked them, and they'll probably go down.
Speaker 1: I don't think those are the original lyrics. That's the remix.
Speaker 1: I'm going to Miami. You know, I was in the
Speaker 1: tank for them before the season started. They finally got
Speaker 1: off the schneide last week. They will have extra rest.
Speaker 1: Here will the Dolphins at six and a half point
Speaker 1: dogs at home against Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I love Russell Wilson. I think the world of him.
Speaker 1: He should be the m v P. However, Uh, the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks past defense is atrocious. They have given up
Speaker 1: through three games, small sample size, but still, through three
Speaker 1: games four hundred thirty point seven yards per game through
Speaker 1: the air. They're opposing white outs have destroyed them to
Speaker 1: a tune of I believe four hundred more yards wide
Speaker 1: receivers specifically than any other team's defense. Second would be
Speaker 1: a distant second would be the Atlanta Falcons. That's how
Speaker 1: bad the Seahawks past defense has been. And in fact,
Speaker 1: I think they've given up twenty six more catches to
Speaker 1: whiteouts uh than any other team through three weeks in
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's a lot of catches beyond the next
Speaker 1: worst team. UH. Going with the Dolphins here, and I
Speaker 1: know the Dolphins do not have a receiving cord like
Speaker 1: the eighties Houston Oilers or the nineties Washington Redskins that
Speaker 1: we already referred to earlier with Monk Clark and Sanders.
Speaker 1: But I think that's a lot of points to give
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Give me the Dolphins plus six and a
Speaker 1: half and I will hold my breath betting against Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: That is my pick. Nun number two, Bradley number two.
Speaker 1: This one feels like a trap to me, but I'm
Speaker 1: just not gonna try and overthink it. Take a page
Speaker 1: out of my wife's book. I'm going with the bills.
Speaker 1: How can you say that, I'm not gonna overthink it.
Speaker 1: I'll take a page out of my wife's right. There
Speaker 1: a formula for success. She's talking about intuition, Mikey. It's
Speaker 1: called intuition. Sometimes a lot of intelligence just takes you
Speaker 1: down the wrong road. Bethany has women's intuition, and sometimes
Speaker 1: that's good. Now, Mikey, you probably don't know about that,
Speaker 1: because well I won't. What does that mean? Why don't
Speaker 1: men have intuition? Why is it it's sex specific gender
Speaker 1: specific intuition? Yeah, Todd in favor of men being much
Speaker 1: more analytical than women and women being more intuitive. So
Speaker 1: you know, you get one side, you get the other.
Speaker 1: I think it's because we give birth, I really do.
Speaker 1: I think we have that ability and that just parental
Speaker 1: maternal instinct. So thanks, Todd, appreciate it. Back to pick two,
Speaker 1: What do you take it out of your wife's playbook
Speaker 1: here with this? I don't know if she picked it.
Speaker 1: I really don't, but I'm going I liked it earlier
Speaker 1: this week when I played, but I still like it
Speaker 1: at Bill is minus three. I like the Bills against
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I was down on Josh Allen going into
Speaker 1: the year, but he's been phenomenal. He has proved me wrong.
Speaker 1: Number four in the league in QBR, number two in
Speaker 1: d v O A. And I like Sean McDermott as
Speaker 1: a coach. I think he's a really good coach. I
Speaker 1: think we talked about sometimes betting coaches. I like Sean
Speaker 1: McDermott in this matchup. And while the Bill's defense has
Speaker 1: been disappointing in the standards of them kind of being
Speaker 1: coming from top five, that's kind of what they're known for,
Speaker 1: is playing the defense. They have been a little disappointing,
Speaker 1: but I like them to this matchup against the Raiders
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Raiders are really that good.
Speaker 1: I think they're a phony two and one. When they
Speaker 1: played the Panthers, the Panthers hung around in there with
Speaker 1: them the whole game. You know, Teddy two gloves and
Speaker 1: the new coach that they score on. They moved up
Speaker 1: and down the field on the Raiders. The Panthers everybody
Speaker 1: knew almost got him. Saints, I don't think they're good.
Speaker 1: I think they're phony too. That was a win, kind
Speaker 1: of like a hype win. And I think you were
Speaker 1: right in fading them with your survivor Pitt Gil taking
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I think the Patriots showed who they really
Speaker 1: are their defense. This is bad when you watch it.
Speaker 1: People just gouged Raiders defense. And the other hidden aspect
Speaker 1: of this game that I really like is who the
Speaker 1: Raiders play. Next week, they play the Chiefs. John Gruden
Speaker 1: is obsessed with the Chiefs. He wants to be the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: He when he gets frustrated with Derek Carr, whenever he
Speaker 1: likes to call him out, it's because he's not extending
Speaker 1: the play, giving the play second live. He's not taking
Speaker 1: shots down the field. And speaking of taking shots down
Speaker 1: the field, no Henry Ruggs, no Brian Edwards for the
Speaker 1: Raiders either. I find it hard uh for the Raiders
Speaker 1: to score in this game. And I think John Gruden
Speaker 1: in a bad spot sandwich between Road Patriots road Raiders.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. The Bills are a good team,
Speaker 1: they're playing well. I like the Bills to win. Ruggs
Speaker 1: absences was one of the big reasons why I took
Speaker 1: the Patriots last week in that game. And I know,
Speaker 1: for a guy who hasn't done anything quote unquote yet
Speaker 1: in the NFL, just his his sheer presence spreads the
Speaker 1: field and allows Derek Carr so many more options. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's a great point about the fact they're playing the
Speaker 1: Chiefs next week. Also, we don't often tell about that,
Speaker 1: but they John Gruden knows what's ahead for sure, Bethany. Alright,
Speaker 1: so my second pick is the Chicago Bears. And it's
Speaker 1: kind of funny. We were just talking about women's intuition
Speaker 1: and it was based on that. We were about to
Speaker 1: leave and I kissed my son goodbye. I said, I'll
Speaker 1: miss you, Boogie Bear. And then we get in the car. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Boogie Bear. And we get in the car and Brad's like, okay,
Speaker 1: instead of scrolling Pinterest for your dream kitchen, why don't
Speaker 1: you look at the lines? And I said okay, And
Speaker 1: so I pulled them up and the Bears just struck me.
Speaker 1: I left my son. The mama bear instinct so um,
Speaker 1: according to a wife, is always right. The mama instinct
Speaker 1: is unparalleled and prophetic. So Bears, it is Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: against spread Chicago Bears picked up two? What are we
Speaker 1: giving her? What are we giving her? On the points?
Speaker 1: She she gets? Uh, Bethany gets two and a half points.
Speaker 1: I like it. She gets two and a half points
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis her Mayfield commercial, Baker Mayfield commercial, Boogie
Speaker 1: bear to write those down. So far we're gonna get
Speaker 1: four and five from Bethany too. Don't don't feel like
Speaker 1: we're gonna get short changed. But no, Mikey number two,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take an under all right, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the Arizona Cardinals Carolina Panthers under gil Kyler. Murray
Speaker 1: is human, after all, he is human. What's your number
Speaker 1: that you have? What's your consensus? Fifty fifty one on
Speaker 1: the butt? Um? Look, I think that I think we
Speaker 1: weren't wrong in thinking that opening game against Carolina with
Speaker 1: the Raiders was going to be an under game, I
Speaker 1: you know, and the game went way over and so
Speaker 1: then the value on the points sort of took off
Speaker 1: from there, and I really think Bridgewater is more of
Speaker 1: a control the ball down the heat, not gonna throw
Speaker 1: the ball deep down the field. They're gonna use McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to run the ball, and they eat
Speaker 1: a lot of clock. That game in Tampa Bay really
Speaker 1: should have went under two if they don't break the
Speaker 1: run when they're trying to kill the clock. And then
Speaker 1: we saw the game clearly go under against the Chargers
Speaker 1: last week. Um Arizona to Tyler Murray. They take time
Speaker 1: off the clock, they run the ball. Three picks. I'm
Speaker 1: with Todd here about the adjustment now. I was going
Speaker 1: over is the first two weeks because I didn't think
Speaker 1: the numbers had caught up. But I think they've caught
Speaker 1: up too far now. And I think we're over adjusting
Speaker 1: to the overs because we're seeing seventy of the games
Speaker 1: go over. So I just think this is this goes
Speaker 1: back to my core and and I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: an under game this week, and this is the one
Speaker 1: that I looked at under Arizona Carolina from Mikey pick
Speaker 1: number two. So you've already got your three picks out there.
Speaker 1: Now I'm done. I think you're done. I can sweat
Speaker 1: this little excuse. I got my ass wide open on
Speaker 1: the under in this little lega game. Oh do you
Speaker 1: have it? Se Via and Lavante under two and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get the halftime zero zero right, we'll find a
Speaker 1: nice medal. Uh this just in the red still haven't scored. Oh,
Speaker 1: um Todd number two, My number two is well, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'll give you my under two because of what
Speaker 1: Mikey just said. Mikey, I I agree with you. I
Speaker 1: think there's inflation. Now the lines have gotten you know
Speaker 1: they will catch up. And um, you see all these
Speaker 1: crazy fifties all over the board. I'm going under in
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns Dallas Cowboys game. Now, I know Dallas's
Speaker 1: defense stinks. I know Cleveland Brown's defense is nothing great,
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. But fifty six fifties six
Speaker 1: is what you're telling me. That's fifty six that should
Speaker 1: be reserved for greatest show on turf, Atlanta Falcons games,
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston games. Those kind of numbers are just getting ridiculous.
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns want to feed the boat or a
Speaker 1: guy named Chubby Chub and that takes time off the clock.
Speaker 1: They're not the greatest offensive team. I mean they have
Speaker 1: moved the ball, don't get me wrong. I had them
Speaker 1: over last week in a beautiful over against your Washington
Speaker 1: football team. Gil. They move the ball. But fifties six,
Speaker 1: some of these numbers are getting like ridiculous. Now. Granted,
Speaker 1: look even the Dallas UM Seattle game, which was a
Speaker 1: ridiculous over game, it should have landed, you know, low sixties.
Speaker 1: Even that was a ridiculous game. So all I need
Speaker 1: in this game is some runs, some missed field goals,
Speaker 1: a lot of running, and you could stay under fifty
Speaker 1: six here easily. Look even in the in the Sunday
Speaker 1: Now or Monday night game. Um, you know, I had
Speaker 1: the end game over fifty six and a half in
Speaker 1: the Ravens Chiefs game, and I didn't get there because
Speaker 1: Harrison Butcker missed the field goal at the end of
Speaker 1: the first half. You get a missed field goal or two,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very hard to go over fifty six.
Speaker 1: So this isn't really about, you know, a huge analysis.
Speaker 1: This is just these numbers are getting ridiculous. Give me
Speaker 1: under fifty six. Under fifty six, Cleveland Dallas for dot.
Speaker 1: Uh my number two is. You know why I feel
Speaker 1: because you got to get the good number? And again,
Speaker 1: who does it? Who does that voice? Who is it? Number?
Speaker 1: That guy from the book he used to come into Look, Dad,
Speaker 1: you gotta know it's all about getting the good number.
Speaker 1: You gotta get the good number. That guy that god
Speaker 1: with a D. All right, Uh my number two that
Speaker 1: my number two is. And I promise you I didn't
Speaker 1: do this um because of this. But Bradley and Bethany
Speaker 1: live in Houston, Texas? Is that correct? Houston, Texas? I am.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Houston Texas everybody. I'm laying the four
Speaker 1: and a half against the Minnesota Vikings, a battle of
Speaker 1: oh and three's. Minnesota, by the way, not practicing till Saturday. Uh,
Speaker 1: they were the last team to play the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: But it might help them, but they have maybe it will,
Speaker 1: they have no positive. So this game against Houston is
Speaker 1: going off as scheduled, early early game on Sunday, one
Speaker 1: p m. Easter today am Pacific. I'm very curious why
Speaker 1: you know, we always say NFL specifically, they gotta get
Speaker 1: their reps in, they gotta get their practice in. Minnesota
Speaker 1: is not getting that this week, and the blind didn't
Speaker 1: move at all, Like that's not a thing to talk about.
Speaker 1: That's interesting to me. Uh. And then the other thing
Speaker 1: is Houston had this awful schedule to begin the season.
Speaker 1: This is the one game in that awful schedule that
Speaker 1: they absolutely have to win. Um and I think this
Speaker 1: is a game that Bill O'Brien and Deshaun Watson to
Speaker 1: figure out a way to win. Minnesota's defense is no
Speaker 1: better than it has been. Uh, you know the situation
Speaker 1: there where their defense they're not getting really any consistent
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. They comported themselves very well last
Speaker 1: week against Tennessee. I get it, but I don't trust
Speaker 1: the Minnesota defense. The secondary is young. I think it's
Speaker 1: Houston's game. Houston minus four and a half, choging up
Speaker 1: big number two. Well you go, well, thank you. You're
Speaker 1: not self defetus, Houston Texas Fanjury're like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: do that. Oh I am a self defetus. But this
Speaker 1: is the game they're gonna win. Aren't good They're gonna
Speaker 1: get there. You're a big fan of Bill O'Brien, your
Speaker 1: head coach, who probably the greatest fourth and one coaches
Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League say the
Speaker 1: rate it. I mean, they should make a statue of
Speaker 1: him and put him in the Hall of Shame. In fact,
Speaker 1: if Todd was an NFL coach, he would hire Bill
Speaker 1: O'Brien just for fourth and one consultation. Just tap his arm,
Speaker 1: coming O'Brien, tell me out here, all right, number three, Mikey,
Speaker 1: you're already happy the number three, which was j E
Speaker 1: T J E T s jets. Wow, Bradley, you're number three, okay,
Speaker 1: number three. I had have been the rules for this one, right, Gil.
Speaker 1: It was allowed, but it is allowed. It is allowed
Speaker 1: the reason it is allowed because Mike historically did this
Speaker 1: as well. Right, did I think last year? I did?
Speaker 1: First half? Bets? Okay, good, good, Okay. I want to
Speaker 1: make sure I'm going first half. If we could be
Speaker 1: done this earlier, I would have loved it. Ravens in
Speaker 1: the first half. It was minus six and a half
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week. It's minus seven now,
Speaker 1: but I still like it. Minus seven Ravens minus seven
Speaker 1: in the first half, Lamar Jackson, tip of the cap, Bradley,
Speaker 1: thank you, Mr Gil. He was oh in five win
Speaker 1: trailing at halftime and a little nugget from the Warren
Speaker 1: Sharp Stats book, teams that are winning at halftime win
Speaker 1: the game seventy eight p some of the time since.
Speaker 1: And the Ravens know that. The Ravens were unbelievable in
Speaker 1: the first half against the spread last year, where they
Speaker 1: average seventeen points per game. So far this year, they're
Speaker 1: averaging eight teen points per game. I know, small sample size,
Speaker 1: but they were two and oh in the first half
Speaker 1: against the spread before they ran into the buzz Saul
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I'm not selling the Ravens a bit
Speaker 1: off that loss, and they're not exactly going against the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs this week during going against Dwayne Haskins
Speaker 1: uh worst QBR in the NFL, worst quarterback corn in
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus d v o A. And I know
Speaker 1: it's your team, buddy, but but the best part of
Speaker 1: the Redskins. What was the strength of the Redskins skill
Speaker 1: front front seven and who's missing and Chase Young exactly
Speaker 1: and Matt I and I just gone for the year.
Speaker 1: Redskins actually pace the play pretty fast as well, So
Speaker 1: I'm on offense, so I'm not too concerned about not
Speaker 1: enough possessions to get to cover the seven. I like
Speaker 1: the Ravens for the full game to cover the thirteen
Speaker 1: or thirteen and a half. But the Ravens first half
Speaker 1: mentality to jump on people and get on their throat
Speaker 1: right from the jump. That's why I like him the
Speaker 1: best in the first half, little back door prevention. By
Speaker 1: taking the first half, you don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1: And the Ravens could not obviously have looked worse on
Speaker 1: a bigger stage than they did on Monday night. Uh.
Speaker 1: We talked about this on a Numbers game earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Do you ever remember a team there's obviously examples of this.
Speaker 1: Do you ever remember a team that was such a
Speaker 1: douze dr bob sterm a bully against inferior opponents, and
Speaker 1: then when they place somebody at their level, whether it's
Speaker 1: Kansas City this past Money and our Tennessee in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: just absolutely have no shot at coming back in games.
Speaker 1: They have no come from behind ability gets bad. And
Speaker 1: when they get behind, but but how about this gil
Speaker 1: Kansas City scored and they missed the extra point, they're
Speaker 1: up six three. The Ravens come out and they get
Speaker 1: a big run to midfield? Just tripping? What tripping? Did you?
Speaker 1: We lose this red scheme? Look at this so over?
Speaker 1: Why nothing? The game's over? They can't it's insurmountable. Insurmountable.
Speaker 1: They left see you in too much? Anyhow? Who are
Speaker 1: these people clapping? The tripping call changed the whole game
Speaker 1: because now behind the chains they had upon they got
Speaker 1: down to scores. Where was this tripping? I don't know
Speaker 1: where the tripping you like, you talked about several times
Speaker 1: go on your show. That could have completely changed the
Speaker 1: complexion of that game. And we as fans and as
Speaker 1: betters don't acknowledge that enough. Don't tell me it ended
Speaker 1: up being a blowout, but you just never know that
Speaker 1: absolutely was the fulcrum player the game. Um bethany number three?
Speaker 1: All right, Todd, this one you're gonna absolutely love. Um.
Speaker 1: I am taking the Cincinnati Bengals because I am a
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow believer. I think he's the baby goat, I
Speaker 1: really do, um so. And also he has this like
Speaker 1: California vibe to him with his blonde hair and just
Speaker 1: like his swagger. I'm originally from California, So she took
Speaker 1: over that. When did you move to Texas? When I
Speaker 1: was just turned eighteen. So she's fully adopted. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: fully adopted. I teach or I taught at Meadville High
Speaker 1: School for four years and it's very rural, a lot
Speaker 1: of thick accents and um yeah, so I picked up
Speaker 1: on it real quick. School was actually seven against the spread. Hey,
Speaker 1: they're volleyball teams number one in the state of Texas
Speaker 1: right now. Baby, So but yeah, I'm taking Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: So what's And the reason is because he's the baby Goat.
Speaker 1: Because he is the baby Goat. I like him. I
Speaker 1: don't know Baker Mayfield commercials. Yes, Boogie Bear, Yes, baby Goat. Sorry,
Speaker 1: what are you yelling for me? At his mom? What
Speaker 1: is he doing? A special guest for you here on
Speaker 1: the megapod? The big man himself. That's right, that's who
Speaker 1: I think it is. Jeff Wow, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Jeff Pearls in the house in Pittsburgh. Wow, how do
Speaker 1: we know that's Pearls. There's a guy with I'm asking
Speaker 1: a cap. We don't know. I don't Jeff Pearls. Jeff Pearls,
Speaker 1: were gonna get you on the podcast. I gotta get
Speaker 1: you on the megapod later. You know, I I Dodd's
Speaker 1: cameras at the size of a peanut. Parlay, Are you
Speaker 1: there to play tennis? Is that why you you went
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh? Yes, I am here to play Todd and
Speaker 1: tennis weather permitting right now? How far is the drive
Speaker 1: to play that road match? Yeah? No, Well I spent
Speaker 1: the night in Western Maryland the last night sleep ready
Speaker 1: to take on Toddy tomorrow. He's on he's on a drive.
Speaker 1: He's on a drive to see his girlfriend. So he
Speaker 1: decided to stop, stop through and take a beating in
Speaker 1: tennis like old times. Parlay, what do you do Thursdays
Speaker 1: at one pm Eastern? Are you available? I'm available whenever
Speaker 1: you'd like? All right, Parlay future future megapod podcast. What's
Speaker 1: the name of the podcast? Parlay the the Parlay Cast.
Speaker 1: So at some point, Gil, you might have to pick
Speaker 1: up some royalties. Hey, yeah, that's uh. I did not
Speaker 1: get approval on that name. Parlay Cast. Very nice. How
Speaker 1: many times a week do you put it out? Uh?
Speaker 1: Two as of right now, but looking looking to be
Speaker 1: three in the next week. Jesus, Okay, two's enough, Jeff,
Speaker 1: Let's I know, I know what, but what the the
Speaker 1: people that Todd's gonna come on. You gotta come on
Speaker 1: at some point, Mike's gotta come on. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good old time. This is a nice little union
Speaker 1: up in Todd's fortress here in Pittsburgh. The best part
Speaker 1: of this is that Parley is doing this thing with
Speaker 1: his arm and I forgot about that. Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1: I love that so so bad. Jeff Parlay making a
Speaker 1: guest appearance. That's a nice surprise. Good to see you
Speaker 1: guys matching outfits too. That was very cute, very cute,
Speaker 1: very nice blues on both of you. Parlay. I'll be
Speaker 1: in contact, will schedule something here. Awesome sounds good? All right,
Speaker 1: Jeff Parlay and Todd wishnep. What's the line on new
Speaker 1: tennis match? Todd's well, in a game to six, a
Speaker 1: regular tennis set to six, I'll be giving seven and
Speaker 1: a half. Seriously, what is there you guys playing with us?
Speaker 1: But it'll probably be five five. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know how he's going to get a game. Honestly, now,
Speaker 1: I'll get a game, Gil. It's not taking that sitted dad?
Speaker 1: All right? Where are we? I lost track? What are
Speaker 1: we on? Bethany has just given her a third. Oh, Todd,
Speaker 1: your third. My third pick is I'm going against Brad
Speaker 1: poor ass. I'm gonna dunk on you. That's our big lot.
Speaker 1: Brad I actually love, by the way, we're just joking with.
Speaker 1: He's outstanding guy. We all love Brad Porus. We're not
Speaker 1: really thrilled with some of his friends in the baseball world,
Speaker 1: but you know, and uh, and of course we like
Speaker 1: his wife as well. I am going with my third
Speaker 1: pick directly against Brad Porres and I'm taking the lost
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, baby, the Raiders. And here's why I'm taking
Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Raiders were in that game against the Patriots. Now,
Speaker 1: they got belichicked in the second half. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: Yes they did, and they are undisciplined, and I don't
Speaker 1: really love them that much, but I think Gruden is
Speaker 1: moving things in the right direction. They've played some of
Speaker 1: the look that game against the Saints was very impressive
Speaker 1: to me. I thought they played very well that night.
Speaker 1: Deserve to win the football game. Now you're asking a
Speaker 1: Buffalo team, to me, is a mediocre football team. They're
Speaker 1: not that great. They almost blew a twenty eight the
Speaker 1: three lead. Last week, you're asking him to fly across
Speaker 1: the country to a COVID infected city with a brand
Speaker 1: new stadium and asked them to somehow get three point
Speaker 1: win the three point spread. I don't think they can
Speaker 1: do it. This game has a feel to me. I
Speaker 1: don't think that the Bills can cover the line. Give
Speaker 1: me my old Los Vegas Raiders plus three plus three OPO.
Speaker 1: Very rude Todd was expected. Yes, what you reading about?
Speaker 1: Friends in the baseball world? I'm sorry, we can't elaborate on.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, do you know? Really? No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, nofir Okay, I'm talking to say who it is?
Speaker 1: Brad Porous has a friend in Major League Baseball who
Speaker 1: whenever I bet on him hits into double plays. Whenever
Speaker 1: I bet against him, he had three run homers every
Speaker 1: single time. It's unbelievable. I can't wait for him to
Speaker 1: hear you already going him to hear it. Remember, write
Speaker 1: it down from Mike because mikey can't wait Brad that
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding around, but he really does kill me
Speaker 1: every time I met against It's your guy. Yeah, Brad's
Speaker 1: best best Brad's best buddy. Yeah, cost us a lot
Speaker 1: unders Todd alright picked number three. By the way it
Speaker 1: picked number three was not easy to come up with.
Speaker 1: This is the problem with contest. You gotta have five five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: um and so pick. But three to me was a
Speaker 1: toss up between Arizona and Cincinnati since Bethany went with Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Cincinnati because Bethany's thirteen and two. Uh. It
Speaker 1: was a toss up between those two. Uh. I like
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I like Joe Burrow. I think this is
Speaker 1: by the way he was told by his coaches he's
Speaker 1: gotta be smarter with the football because he shouldn't take
Speaker 1: as many hits. And I'm Burrow, I'm like, how about
Speaker 1: getting me some offensive lineman for God's sakes? Uh. He
Speaker 1: is damn good. I like him. I have absolute trust
Speaker 1: in him. After two or three football games in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. It's amazing how quickly. That's why we
Speaker 1: talk about these guys. Uh like Trabiscite. Oh well, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have, you know, great players around him. Dude. I
Speaker 1: can tell Joe Burrows great from day one period. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Jackson. I think look again, can
Speaker 1: we let two or three weeks change our opinion of
Speaker 1: how we felt about a team like Jacksonville. It was
Speaker 1: mere weeks ago when we thought this team was total
Speaker 1: tanking for Trevor. I don't. I mean, they did have
Speaker 1: the Week one win. I get it. They have come
Speaker 1: to Earth that game against Miami and Jacksonville will be
Speaker 1: on extra rest here. I get it. But that game
Speaker 1: against Miami showed just how bad of a football team
Speaker 1: they are. Gardner Minshew was visibly frustrated on that football
Speaker 1: field with not being able to do anything on offense.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's only given a field goal here at home. I
Speaker 1: think this is Joe Burrow's first win as a professional quarterback.
Speaker 1: I will take Cincinnati. Thank you, Bethany pick number three.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. He remember were you a fan of Cheers?
Speaker 1: My mother didn't let me stay up at once. They're
Speaker 1: too young probably to remember. There was an episode in
Speaker 1: season two Todd where Diane was winning the football contest
Speaker 1: every week? Do you remember it? And and she and
Speaker 1: it was frustrating Sam. She would pick because of which
Speaker 1: mascot would win in a real fight, like she would say,
Speaker 1: of course a bear would be the call. And she
Speaker 1: was winning every week. To pull mascot handy gamp because
Speaker 1: I don't know f it's afropole or anything, but I
Speaker 1: just thought i'd bring that. I find that you're you're
Speaker 1: diminishing Bethany's methodology. Oh no, I didn't have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Bethany. Was just a side remark. What what's
Speaker 1: your wife's record in the contest. She doesn't play, She doesn't.
Speaker 1: She's a Seahawks fan, that's it. She just follows the
Speaker 1: Seahawks because she worked for a year at the University
Speaker 1: of Washington Hospital, So she's a die hard Seahawks fan. Bethany,
Speaker 1: you've given three picks generous enough again, Bethany, thirteen and
Speaker 1: two on the year, not in a contest, but thirteen
Speaker 1: and freaking two. Uh, and you have given your picks already.
Speaker 1: They were to recap. They were helped me out with
Speaker 1: the first one. She had Brown Bears plus two and
Speaker 1: a half. She liked Browns because of Baker Mayfield Bears
Speaker 1: plus two and a half she liked because of Buggy
Speaker 1: Boo and three because she thinks that that guy from
Speaker 1: LSU was good. Yeah, this book Bear, Baby, Goat and Baby.
Speaker 1: Do you want to give your fourth and fifth or
Speaker 1: would you like to hold that um for the priest
Speaker 1: that picks your teaser. You do whatever you want to,
Speaker 1: go ahead and give him because we'll probably, uh, we'll
Speaker 1: probably just go through a little partlay together. I went
Speaker 1: some money on five of them, you know, five team
Speaker 1: Round Robin had five team, the fours threes. I don't
Speaker 1: want to if it's before it's time, I don't want
Speaker 1: to make you come up with me. But if you
Speaker 1: already have them, if you have, you got him. Okay,
Speaker 1: number four, Oh, number four, Um, the lovely and the
Speaker 1: best competitor I've ever watched in any kind of sports.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Oh, my goodness, of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: Like there was a little more going on there, right,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Who's that? Oh he is the goat and
Speaker 1: uh very attractive. So so tom Brady, she's laying the
Speaker 1: points with the tompa what do you call him? The
Speaker 1: tomp okay, So not only the baby goat but the
Speaker 1: actual goat. Yes, uh, Tampa Bay laying seven against the
Speaker 1: charge a number five and number five is an equally
Speaker 1: attractive coach here in this situation, the Rams with Sean McVeigh.
Speaker 1: Do you like that thing with the hair that he
Speaker 1: does though, I really do it works for him, it
Speaker 1: really does. Interesting Like did you watch Hard Knocks when
Speaker 1: he was like, oh jacked, Yes, yes, Sorry, that's not
Speaker 1: the word I was going to use. But by I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable with your wife talking about how great looking
Speaker 1: all these guys are not very good, Bethany, I was
Speaker 1: on your side. What's what's puzzling Todd is that she's
Speaker 1: so into the looks and yet she's married to Brad.
Speaker 1: He is the sexiest man a lot never wanted. Mrs alright,
Speaker 1: So number five for Bethany is the rams. You're you're
Speaker 1: laying all thirteen against the giants. That doesn't deter you,
Speaker 1: not at all. Alrightnpecy goes five and oh here, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked at this point. I wouldn't. All she
Speaker 1: has to do is go three and two and then
Speaker 1: she takes over your circle. She can have in the
Speaker 1: next quarter. Okay, we're holding you that teaser of the
Speaker 1: week two team. By the way, we're doing okay on
Speaker 1: teasers this year. Everybody two teams six point teaser of
Speaker 1: the week. Brad, do you have one? Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: I do. Uh, you don't delve in this do you
Speaker 1: Beth today? Your specialty is just five picks and out,
Speaker 1: five picks and out usually. But I would love to
Speaker 1: do a teaser because I love the word. I think
Speaker 1: it's so fun when we when we started the Priest
Speaker 1: and That Picks podcast. She uh, she goes, do I
Speaker 1: get to do a teaser? I'm like, do you really
Speaker 1: want their? No, She's like, I don't really know. I
Speaker 1: just I want to do a teaser. You talk about teasers.
Speaker 1: I want to do a teaser. She likes the word unbelievable.
Speaker 1: All right, what's years. I'm gonna, as I already mentioned,
Speaker 1: Browns from four and a half, I'm gonna take him
Speaker 1: up to ten and a half. And then there's another
Speaker 1: game I like, just regular against the spread where I'm
Speaker 1: getting a lot of points. I'm gonna with the Lions
Speaker 1: up from four and a half to ten and a
Speaker 1: half against the Saints. The Lions they look good. I
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals. I like what I've seen out of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Kyler Murray. They went in the defense,
Speaker 1: played well against Kyler, made him look human. As we
Speaker 1: said before, and we already know the news is out
Speaker 1: is out. Drew Brees can't pass the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees can't pass the ball down the field. I
Speaker 1: would hope that Matt Patricia. He he frustrates me mightily,
Speaker 1: but I would hope he can put together a game
Speaker 1: plan to shrink the field on Drew Brees. Breeze can't
Speaker 1: get the boy on the field. Tenant a half points
Speaker 1: is too much. I said this on Guessing Lines the
Speaker 1: other day. I'm so tired of the Taysom Hill stuff.
Speaker 1: Why have we anointed this guy the Swiss Army knife
Speaker 1: for everything? Oh, he's that, he's just the best. Let's
Speaker 1: throw twenty million at him. Why why have we decided
Speaker 1: that about him? But like, don't get me started again. Um, Bethany,
Speaker 1: you you like the teaser, You like the word. Do
Speaker 1: you know what a teaser? You know? The six points
Speaker 1: and the two teams, you know all that stuff, right.
Speaker 1: Um he kind of explained it to me a little bit,
Speaker 1: But um, I just want to do it based off
Speaker 1: of what I like to call it, the sexy teaser. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's just taking a turn, taking a turn explicit. No,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put Tampa Bay and the Rams together
Speaker 1: in my sexy teaser. Retractive men, especially pretty good teasers.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay down to basically winning Tampa Bay minus one
Speaker 1: against the Chargers and the Rams down from thirteen to
Speaker 1: seven for young Bethany Rams. Tampa Bay two teams, six
Speaker 1: point teaser Mike Gate. I'll take the Buccaneers as well,
Speaker 1: down to one, and I'll take another team down to one.
Speaker 1: The Packers on Monday Night against the Falcons alright to
Speaker 1: win basically for both the Bucks of the Packers. Toddy number.
Speaker 1: Make sure you get the good numbers, because I like
Speaker 1: to get the good number even though I'm not really
Speaker 1: getting a good number here. I'm taking the Las Vegas
Speaker 1: Raiders up to nine. I just don't are you betting
Speaker 1: them on the money line? You love this gigd? Why
Speaker 1: do you love them so much? I just don't think
Speaker 1: the bills are that good. I really don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: what are the bills? You know who anointed them? And
Speaker 1: now you're gonna ask them to go all the way
Speaker 1: across the country to win on the road like this.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas look good against the Saints. Do you forget that?
Speaker 1: I mean they got Belichick last week. Give me Las
Speaker 1: Vegas plus the nine and then give me the Russell
Speaker 1: hustle and bustle Seattle Seahawks down to pick them. I
Speaker 1: know they're going against the great fits magic, but I
Speaker 1: think Seattle can get out of there with just the
Speaker 1: w So give me Las Vegas and Seattle, please, And
Speaker 1: I'm taking Sampa Bay, seizing them down to one uh
Speaker 1: and I am going to actually go the other way.
Speaker 1: I know this is not a Stanford Wall teaser leg,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take the Dolphins and tease them through
Speaker 1: the seven and the ten, the twelve and a half Dolphins.
Speaker 1: What did I say? Yeah? Alright, Brawley, what was your
Speaker 1: first leg? The Browns? Browns and Lions? Brownson? I want
Speaker 1: can you make this Mr Monkey palm over under? On
Speaker 1: weeks that Drew Brees gets binched? What week do you
Speaker 1: think he has, Benjamin, I don't. That's a tough one
Speaker 1: because the city, but the city, the city owes him
Speaker 1: a lot, and it's his last year. My boy, I
Speaker 1: would it's hard. I'd probably put it at put it
Speaker 1: at sixteen and a half because I don't think it's
Speaker 1: happening week SI. You know what I mean? He throws
Speaker 1: it at least as hard as Chad Pennington used to
Speaker 1: think about I mean I was talking about that the
Speaker 1: other night of the baseball game, like I thought that
Speaker 1: the chain Bieber will come out of the game. But
Speaker 1: then you think to yourself, how difficult must that conversation?
Speaker 1: Could that conversation have been for Sandy Alamar, an interim manager,
Speaker 1: to go up to Shane Bieber and say, hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for your cy young sixty game season. Uh, you're terrible tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take you out. It's an impossible
Speaker 1: conversation to have. Well, he didn't have it. It was
Speaker 1: he should have done it, but it's it's a hard conversation,
Speaker 1: and yours is exponentially worse. Right, Sean Payton to go
Speaker 1: up to the Drew Bees and said Drew Brees and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know the community super Bowl. The conversation probably should
Speaker 1: have happened in the off season, right, and this was
Speaker 1: the time to retire. It isn't this Drew Brees last season?
Speaker 1: I think he's going to NBC. Yes, it would have
Speaker 1: been last year if they have made it got to
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, you guys making him sound like
Speaker 1: he's the worst quarterback in the NFL. He's not that bad.
Speaker 1: He just can't throw the ball beyond yards. Other than that,
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean, so you just did dink it
Speaker 1: to Camara and he makes eight guys messing at toow.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford really can't throw it beyond fifteen yards either,
Speaker 1: but you know nobody talks about him by the way
Speaker 1: I tell you the story. And when I went to
Speaker 1: the when the Hall of Fame inducted Art Monk and
Speaker 1: Dark and Darryl Green in two thousand and eight, and
Speaker 1: so this was I knew this was the last my
Speaker 1: last boyhood heroes to go. I've never been a can
Speaker 1: before I went. And we found this high school field
Speaker 1: that the the high school there in Canton for Masilon,
Speaker 1: I believe it was. It's like one of the biggest
Speaker 1: high schools. Paul Brown coach there and everything. And we
Speaker 1: found like a bag of footballs on their beautiful stadium
Speaker 1: football field, and I dropped back to past. My high
Speaker 1: school buddies were there. We all met to see the
Speaker 1: skins be inducted, and I dropped back to past. I
Speaker 1: threw the ball as far as it could and it
Speaker 1: was like it's perfect spiral, and I thought I threw
Speaker 1: that ball fifty yards and my buddy Spirow came back,
Speaker 1: he caught the ball comes back. I was like, Spiral,
Speaker 1: how much did that throw? I guess gil twenty nine yards?
Speaker 1: I thought Todd. I thought he was gonna say he
Speaker 1: ruptured Achilles nine yards. I was like, okay, maybe I
Speaker 1: should lay off Drew Brees, Mike, give me this the
Speaker 1: ball back, give me the ball back, the balls back?
Speaker 1: Can I get those tennis balls back? Yeah? Bastard? Alright? Uh?
Speaker 1: Did you give your cheeser Toide? Yeah? I already forgot.
Speaker 1: You gave your cheeser because it's raiders everything for you today? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm still alive and survivor are you still alive in surviving? Yes?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? How many times are we going over this? Yes?
Speaker 1: I had two entries, one of them crapped out. The
Speaker 1: first week I've had Tennessee and Cleveland and last week
Speaker 1: New England, so I threw used. I've used Pittsburgh, Green
Speaker 1: Bay in Cleveland and I won all three and now
Speaker 1: and folks know I'm going to continue to win every
Speaker 1: single one. What I'm sorry, Why are your three better
Speaker 1: than my three? I don't unders in they're not better.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just I thought I was going to
Speaker 1: give my survivor, then you give your survivor. Well, oh,
Speaker 1: the others don't get to pick their survivors. Okay they're out. Okay, out,
Speaker 1: you're out. It's called survivors. You go ahead your what's yours?
Speaker 1: This one to survive? My pick for survivor who I
Speaker 1: have not used is the Seattle Seahawks the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Can get it done and put the winner circle. Remember, folks,
Speaker 1: Hasham will make me go sixteen to know this year
Speaker 1: because I am not in the Survivor contest to ultimately
Speaker 1: screw me and keep me from winning money and YouTube
Speaker 1: can be a big winner if you just follow me.
Speaker 1: By the way, your pick was not well received here
Speaker 1: at the D the beautiful D Hotel here in Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: by any of a city at the table. It was
Speaker 1: met with a groans. Not that's a dicey selection. We'll
Speaker 1: see how many people use it in the real Survivor
Speaker 1: this year. I don't think that many will be using this.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Which is a great strategy if
Speaker 1: you get through. I uh, because I have actual survivors strategy.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to simpletons. But go ahead, are you
Speaker 1: referring to us a sim I am actually I'm going
Speaker 1: to take and I'm not thrilled about this pick, but
Speaker 1: if I actually do the grid and my Survivor strategy
Speaker 1: and looking forward to future weeks, which I don't think
Speaker 1: Todd is really doing, let's be honest. Oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Uh. I'm gonna take the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and Survivor and hope that Anthony Lynn plays his
Speaker 1: role properly for me to advance. So I'm gonna tear
Speaker 1: a Chargers here we go. So I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That is my week for Survivor pick,
Speaker 1: because I don't really see an opportunity to use them
Speaker 1: any time else except for maybe late late late in
Speaker 1: the season, and hopefully Survivor will be over by then
Speaker 1: and I'll be your winner. So Tampa, whether the Chargers
Speaker 1: are going to have any guys get stabbed in the
Speaker 1: heart with the needle and do not do not have
Speaker 1: that information that advanced that uh. Last two questions final
Speaker 1: two questions of each and every megapod through the years
Speaker 1: are always the same. The first, which of the big
Speaker 1: favorites in your opinion is the most likely to lose outright. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of big spreads here. So the
Speaker 1: only two that qualify by our normal numbers, Well, I
Speaker 1: guess uh Seattle qualifies too. So Uh, Baltimore thirteen point
Speaker 1: favorites down the uh down inside the Beltway to Washington.
Speaker 1: Actually the stadium is uh, it's inside of building. Baltimore
Speaker 1: thirteen point favorites at Washington. Then there is the Seattle
Speaker 1: Seahawks six and a half point favorites at Miami. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Rams thirteen point favorites hosting the Giants.
Speaker 1: Pardon me, Tampa Bay seven point favorites over the Chargers. Uh,
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, Oh I short changed it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: There are some Kansas City Chiefs seven point favorites hosting
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and the San Francisco forty Niners
Speaker 1: hosting Philadelphia by Evan green Bay seven and a half
Speaker 1: Monday Night against Atlanta. I was thinking a last week's GTCH.
Speaker 1: So there's plenty of these, which Bradley, in your opinion,
Speaker 1: is the most likely to lose out right Now, I
Speaker 1: have a prediction. I think everybody's gonna pick the same team.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks. I'm wrong, You're gonna did you want me
Speaker 1: to say the Chiefs? I forgot the Seahawks. Saw Seahawks
Speaker 1: most likely lose. We used to mention when Fits gets
Speaker 1: on a role, Fits gets on a roll. I'd love
Speaker 1: to see Byron Jones come back. But I still think
Speaker 1: the strength of the Dolphins team with Xavien Howard and
Speaker 1: Noah igbanagay is can mitigate somewhat Russell Wilson, if that
Speaker 1: is even a thing. And that that Seahawks defense has
Speaker 1: been bad, they really haven't been very good. I think
Speaker 1: the Dolphins matchup well. I think Fitzpatrick will have time
Speaker 1: to pass. I think he can move the ball down
Speaker 1: the field. I think the Dolphins can score. And this
Speaker 1: is also another spot where Seattle is going from Washington
Speaker 1: to Miami, and Miami has extra rest and and and
Speaker 1: the other motivating factor. I like in Flores a lot.
Speaker 1: I do. I like Brian Flores. I think he's a
Speaker 1: good coach there one in two if they can get
Speaker 1: to two in two in this spot over Seattle, a
Speaker 1: mark he went. I think this is a spot where
Speaker 1: he knows he can kind of turn the season around.
Speaker 1: So I really, really, really like Miami to win this game.
Speaker 1: I have him overseason win till six and a half.
Speaker 1: I actually have a ticket on them winning the a
Speaker 1: f C S eleven one because I liked the number.
Speaker 1: Bethan Ney, did you want to pick one of those?
Speaker 1: So this like the person who's gonna lose? Yeah, So
Speaker 1: of all those are the biggest favorites on the board.
Speaker 1: But if one of them is going to lose? Outright,
Speaker 1: what team is the most likely to be that team?
Speaker 1: Of the big favorites, they say green Bay, Bay Bay.
Speaker 1: She didn't feel the Green Bay vibe. Not not a
Speaker 1: fan of Aaron Rodgers, I'm getting no, she hates his
Speaker 1: eyes they're big. Actually was very neutral on Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: until last week when Mike to Rico in the middle
Speaker 1: of the UH game last night, I mean last week,
Speaker 1: said that Aaron Rodgers was reading the book The Holographic Universe,
Speaker 1: which is a wild book and very very entertaining for
Speaker 1: quantum physics lovers and who people who wonder about the
Speaker 1: nature of reality, and it really made me love Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: who I was totally neutral on. And uh, it means
Speaker 1: he's a big thinker and whatever. I don't care what
Speaker 1: you guys think about him, Todd. One of my first
Speaker 1: long conversations with Todd was about quantum physics, and Todd
Speaker 1: and I got a spirited debate about the subject. So
Speaker 1: no surprise to me that that would impress you. For
Speaker 1: lovers of quantum physics, there's a set, there's a phrase,
Speaker 1: and the nature of reality and the nature pardon me.
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Seahawks, Todd. I think the most likely
Speaker 1: to lose is the San Francisco forty Niners. You know
Speaker 1: what I don't know about this team. I believe that
Speaker 1: they don't really have the same porn star loving quarterback
Speaker 1: that they used to. And uh, I have a feeling that,
Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles might come up and bite them. Bethany,
Speaker 1: you gotta love Jimmy g right, Um, not really, that's
Speaker 1: an upset right there. I'm with I'm with you, Dodd.
Speaker 1: San Francisco, too many injuries, Philadelphia is just that that
Speaker 1: you couldn't you couldn't have a worse opinion of the
Speaker 1: Eagles right now. Uh, from what you've seen the first
Speaker 1: three weeks oh two in one. A team is never
Speaker 1: as bad as they look from one week to the next.
Speaker 1: I think that if the injury angle is why I
Speaker 1: would choose the Niners here. Uh, Seattle would be my
Speaker 1: second choice on that, but San Francisco's who all go with?
Speaker 1: And then the final question if we lived in a
Speaker 1: bizarro world and we had to play a side on
Speaker 1: each and every one of these now fifteen games on
Speaker 1: the NFL slate because of course Pittsburgh and Tennessee is postponed.
Speaker 1: But you've got one free pass, Bradley, You've already given
Speaker 1: yours Thursday night, Denver in the turday, what game would
Speaker 1: it be for you? Bethany? Is there a gamer? You
Speaker 1: have no feeling? Yes? I do. Um, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: you're going to be liking liking this one, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say away from Houston, yes, Uh. I just want
Speaker 1: to stay away as from Bill O'Brien as much as
Speaker 1: I can. And he never smiles, you know, he never smiles.
Speaker 1: And I don't really like his play. Calls a whole
Speaker 1: lot the ball. I mean, you have Deshaun Watson like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Smile? You know, so as fine
Speaker 1: a reasoning as I could come up with. Well, he's
Speaker 1: always pensive. He's pensive because it's fourth down. In three
Speaker 1: quarters of a yard and he doesn't have anything that's playable.
Speaker 1: He has pensiveness on his face, hence why they normally
Speaker 1: call time out in that spot. Mike, I don't like
Speaker 1: this about Bears and Colts. I don't. I'm very confused
Speaker 1: on that game. There's a lot for me. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot there. I'm not sure I really understand either team.
Speaker 1: They might both be overrated. I don't know how good
Speaker 1: his foal is going to be through the course of
Speaker 1: a season. I mean, he had a nice quarter and
Speaker 1: a half against Atlanta, who has now become you know,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame tankers and blowing these leads. I
Speaker 1: mean it's just incredible. So that's the game. I just
Speaker 1: won't take any part of Toddy, and I think there's
Speaker 1: tons of games that shouldn't be touched. Ridiculous choices. Arizona
Speaker 1: and Carolina, I don't know. I mean, I love Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: but you know, last week they just showed me they're
Speaker 1: not elite yet. Carolina. I don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: over there. Teddy Bridgewaters and he's managing the game. He's
Speaker 1: not managing the game. I don't want any part of it,
Speaker 1: as witnessed by the fact that I could barely get
Speaker 1: to a third pick in the NFL this year. I
Speaker 1: agree this week, I agree with that completely. I hear
Speaker 1: Denver in. I mean, I'll just go through through candidates.
Speaker 1: Denver in the Jets, New Orleans at Detroit scares me, Indianapolis, Chicago,
Speaker 1: to your point, Mikey, Arizona, Carolina, kind of Jacksonville. Since that,
Speaker 1: even though that was my third pick, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't love it. Uh and then uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean on down the line, we talked about Philadelphia
Speaker 1: s Francisco as well. I'm gonna end up with Denver
Speaker 1: in the Jets, though I'm with Brad Thursday night. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, Mikey, I gotta you have conviction, But like,
Speaker 1: would it shock you if Denver won this game, wouldn't
Speaker 1: shock me. I wouldn't be shocked at any outcome. This
Speaker 1: is such an in game things, so Denver and the
Speaker 1: Jets would be my pick. Thank you too, all. Once again,
Speaker 1: Todd wish No from his lair in Pittsburgh. Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 1: Uh no problem, folks, and uh, you know, if you're
Speaker 1: not betting in game, wake up you you might really
Speaker 1: like it as a public service announcer for in game
Speaker 1: betting and Todd Wish now Mike Palm, Derek Stephen's conciliary

Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it. There's a lot, and
Speaker 1: I'll be paying zero attention to her that night, because

Speaker 1: all right. So, so, by the way, kudos to a
Speaker 1: there by the way commercial that Derek has Now that's
Speaker 1: everywhere on ESPN. That didn't cost anything. No, that was

Speaker 1: we're watching the game, and then what's it on on
Speaker 1: ESPN right now? Brad, Brad, before we go, you should
Speaker 1: tell your friend that he should ask me to bet

Speaker 1: He will also have the Triple Crown and be the
Speaker 1: greatest hitter in the history of Major League't just do
Speaker 1: it for him? Why don't you be a good person
