We won't talk about which casino, I 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.680 mean exactly mean all right, and our rotating guests for 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.039 the week, brand new guests. They flew into town. I'd 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.319 like to think just to do this podcast for sure. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.399 Maybe they needed a break too. I don't know, maybe 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.160 we need a little bit of a break. But it's 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.920 the famed mega pod Gil, so I'm thrilled that they're here. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.200 He is the host of the pre Snap Picks podcast. 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.520 It's Bradley porous. Everybody, thank you for doing this. Brad Yeah, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.680 thank you, go. I I appreciate it. Have my uh 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.320 my wife here, Bethan. She's joins us on the pre 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.920 stnat Picks podcast as well. But like I said, I 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.360 was good. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know if 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.760 you're gonna get this, Okay, al right, here they're a 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.119 professional hosts and then they're like podcast. Yeah, I think 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.120 I fall in the latter category. No, no, no, I mean, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.560 but explain why Bethany the best part of the pre 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.160 Stnap Picks podcast, and the reason that Bethany is here 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.360 is explain to everybody she So, I have my cost 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.560 co host of the Priest Nat Picks podcast is my 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.600 buddy Russ Vaughan, and we try and get in depth 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.600 and we try and make a great job. Yeah, thank you, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.960 I appreciate it. But then we have Bethany who comes 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:43.480 in and she has her own, uh exactly how she picks, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.120 and both Russ and I and I'm actually in the 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.120 circuit contest and I'm nine in six. I like to 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.040 think that's not bad, that's good, right, Yeah. But then 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.400 over here I got my wife making these picks and 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.200 she's thirteen and two thirteen and two. So the point, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.360 here's why Bethany is here, because we're going to pontificate 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.040 about all these games. And then Bethany's just gonna say here, 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:05.639 here are my picks, and these are better than all 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.320 of your. Yeah, and it's if you really want to 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.560 win and go ahead, Bethany, what would you how would 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.639 you explain to people? What what is your process of 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.400 coming up with these picks? My process is very in 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.040 depth and the thodical I um watch Netflix um, and 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.639 I scroll Pinterest and then my husband tells me what 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.320 the lines are and I go with the mother's intuition 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.840 because I'm trying to pay for college here, hopefully Harvard 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.200 Yale one day. Those are the big dreams. Um. So 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.240 if he would listen to me and take my pigs, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.640 we could pay for that college. And they just have 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.400 to let her take over from here. So we're gonna 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.040 go through our normal format and Bethany's gonna jump in 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.920 when she wants to with her picks. And then everybody 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.960 listening can decide, does our you know, our our exhaustive 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.320 research coming up with our picks, does that trump with 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.480 Bethany just comes up with whatever snap of the fingers 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.960 or whatever things she sees to go up with these picks? 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.320 Best book. I hope that Bethany continues to crush you. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.480 And that's the first because at first I thought it 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.080 would be fun, and then all of a sudden, she 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.840 just started beating me. And it's she now. She just 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.800 she gives me. She gives me a crap every time 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:16.680 she does a show. So good morning, Bethany, are you 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.880 betting these picks? Um? If my husband would let me, 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:27.040 but well, let her. Know, it's a very dictatorship. It's 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.240 a dictorial situation. At what point will Bradley start betting, Bethany? 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.560 I mean, how how big of a sample size do 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.320 we need before you'll start following? And she I'll tell 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.080 you here right now, if you go three and two 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.680 this week, you can take over the next quarter. So 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.760 she'll be eight percent for the quarter. If she does 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.200 take over just in time for regression and two would 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.280 be tied for third in the circum million contest. Right now, Gil, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.720 how by the way do you live to that at all? 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.080 How bitter are you that you're not in the contest? 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.760 Um a little better because I let him leave me 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.880 with our two children, um lovely heathens that they are 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.920 sometimes to come be in the circa. And I'm like, well, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.600 I need to pick two, obviously, obviously I need to 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:11.520 pick two. He can if he can be till you're betting, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.120 can you ve till his betting? You know, that's a 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.720 great question. You know. I love this idea, I really do. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.680 This is a really good influence. I like this. He's 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:27.640 really what state, Bethany? What state do you guys lived in? Texas? Right? Texas? Yes, sir, 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:29.880 oh Yeah, they don't allow that over there. I'm sorry. 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.080 All right, So before we get into the format here, 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.800 we'll talk about the Thursday night game. If there's anything 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.640 to talk about with the Thursday night game, not exactly 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.120 the greatest matchup. Maybe it's bettable, Uh, Mikey survivor update, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.520 circu millions update? What's that? Well? I mentioned a circu million. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.359 So there's two players that have thirteen and a half points. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.719 They're leading the way. And remember this is the final 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:54.720 week of the first quarter. More than it's more than that, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.960 it's it's like I get an update because we went 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.600 over that goes into the first place in the quarters. 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.880 So I think it's like a hundred and seventies some 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.080 thousand in his first place, and then second is seventy 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.640 five and third is fifty in the quarters. All the 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.400 people that I knew I knew. I knew a nine 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.080 oh and one. I know a nine oh and one 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.360 guy two weeks and a nine and one they crapped 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.839 out in the week three. Yeah, So there's I think 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.560 within a point and a half, there's like thirty three 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.480 people within a point and a half from thirteen and 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.520 a half to twelve that have twelve or more going in, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.560 so it should be really interesting, especially because we're paying 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.040 three spots, not one this year. So three spots in 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.920 the quarter. Yeah, each quarter pays three, so it's one 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.320 seventies something. Second place of seventy five thousand and third 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.400 is fifty. This is better. I thought, oh yeah, yeah, 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.680 and I already thought it was great. Yeah, and survivor, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.479 we over a hundred got knocked out. It's incredible, guest. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.960 So remember the first week there were seventeen entries that 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.000 didn't put a pick in. Oh did that happen again? 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.960 So now we went from thirteen eight oh five and 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.360 then the incredible second week, we're only four people were 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.719 em so we had eight oh one. So I'm going 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.280 through Tuesday night all the picks that seen how many 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.200 people were leimonated, right, So I'm sorry, I'm like, so 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.960 we should have six eighty left a hundred excuse me, 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.240 a hundred and twenty one people got knocked out by 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:18.080 their pick. But at six oh no, five five entries 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.120 and week three didn't submit thank you. Five entries. That's 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.680 worse than the seventeen and week one that is worse. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.520 They made it through two weeks and they didn't put 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.880 in a week three brightness for that. There's no excuse. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.600 It's just the week one has a three and oh Survivor. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.920 I'm sorry, say again, Todd sham has me a three 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.600 and oh in Survivor. I explained last week, I will pick. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.360 I will pick every week a Survivor pick it will win. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.960 And because I'm not in a Survivor contest, I would 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.920 have won, but didn't because I'm not in it. So 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.760 if you guys really just want to win the contest, 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.920 just go with my Survivor pick every week. I am 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.280 actually one of the six d seventy five Todds, so 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.880 pardon me. First of all, Schem for those who missed 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.200 it last week. Schem is the Hebrew word for name tame, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.720 which is the literal translation of how Orthodox Jews, which 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.320 Todd wants upon a time was for God. So God 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.040 has them in three and oh, Hashem would be the 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.400 name correct has Chem, But he I said Chem, alright, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.440 let's get m I said, you didn't hear me video 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.680 on this. Pardon me, pardon me, I apologize Jesus. It's 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.760 Jesus part of this equation. So well, denver at the 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.320 jets uh Jets are now favored by one because, apparently, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.040 on Thursday Night Football, apparently, the difference between uh, Jeff 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:38.920 Driscoll and Brett Rippon, nephew of the great Mark Rippon 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:45.599 Super Bowl twenty seven m v P from January, the Redskins, 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.000 the greatest football team there ever was not just per 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.800 me but per football outsiders, better than the eighty five Bears, 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.120 better than any Patriots iteration. I could go on about 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.240 this for an hour, but I won't. Brett Rippon, the 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.360 difference between Driscoll to Rippon apparently is four three or 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.800 four points of the line, but the difference between Mitch 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.000 Drobiscuit and Nick Foles is nothing. That's I don't know, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.800 maybe that's maybe that's what it should be. But the 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.480 Jets are now one point favorites largely because of that. Uh, 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.000 let's start with our guest Brad Porus and his lovely 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.959 wife Bethany. You guys have any thoughts on this game 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.440 at all? So I'm going to flip the script on you, Gill, 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.079 because I'm gonna go straight to where you normally go 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.760 the end of the podcast. This is a game I 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.199 want absolutely to make me bet every game, but this 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.880 one this week worst two teams ProFootball Focus, d v 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.360 o A, Foball Outsiders, and I'm pretty sure Todd Wishnet's 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.520 googl losh model hasn't as the bottom of two teams 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:42.200 as well. Good knowledge. Yeah, I mean I liked inverse defense. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.280 They looked at the first two weeks. I picked him 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.320 last week kind of screwed me over, and uh, I'm 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.520 just Brett Ripping. I don't know what I'm getting. I 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.680 don't think anybody knows what we're getting. So I didn't 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.679 really like Sam Donald coming out of us. See, we 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.319 all know about Adam Gates. I went a part of 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.480 it bred ripping at a Boise State. Just got off 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.719 the practice squad the day before game time last day, 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.439 so we got off it on Saturday. There was a 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:07.120 choice between Driscoll Ripping and Blake Bortles and Vic Faggio 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.800 and crew decide to go with Brett Rippon here. Uh, Bethany, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.719 is this one of your players or no? No, this 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.679 is not one of my plays. If Peyton Manning was 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.080 on this team, it would have been love me some Peyton, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.880 but he is no longer with the team. Mikey anything, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.400 it's my third best bet. Come on, stop on the 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.319 total though, what who are you playing? I'm playing the 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.880 New York Jets, j E t s Jets, Jets Jets. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.040 Why do you really think that Denver is going to 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.640 go on the road and win with Brett Rippon? Are 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.480 you kidding me? I'm with Bradley. I had Tampa I 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.720 had them against Tampa Bay last week. They were they 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.079 were awful. I was fooled by Driscoll's performance in the 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:49.920 second half against the Steelers, and I don't know if 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.839 that's a takeaway about the Steelers defense, but this is 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.920 a This is a must win game for Gaze. I 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.480 think he's he's gone by Friday morning, tomorrow morning if 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.600 they lose this game. If this game was on Thursday night, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.120 would he have been going already. Possibly? Yeah, So this 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.600 is a must win game now. The only risky thing 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.959 about this is if the Jets players want him gone, 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.000 maybe maybe they're gonna lose. They'll lose this game. Sorry coach, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.280 but yeah, I agree with the line moving. I think 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.839 the Jets are the winners here. I'm gonna use it 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.000 as one of my best places. Wow, Mikey number three, 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:22.199 Todd anything, No, I don't like this game. It's it's ugly, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.520 it's nasty. I'll probably just in game it see what's 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.439 going on. I don't really have any opinions. The Jets 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.559 killed me last week. I was up big early in 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.520 the day and then Mr Sam interception pick six guy 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.160 gets involved, and you know they even had a chance 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.079 because he roll. He rolled them right back down the 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.840 field to go seven seven. Then he was driving again. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.280 When they were down either fourteen seven or seventeen seven, 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.079 he throws a pick in the end zone. So you know, 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.320 I hate this game. I was harping on this all 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.480 week on both the Numbers game in Primetime Action. I 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.840 don't know if you heard of have an MSG plus 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.920 show prime Time Action. I'm thinking about moving to New 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.360 York City. I have to tell you so much fun. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.120 But I've been harping on it all week, maybe on 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.440 guessing lines to the uncatchable past thing has become an 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.520 epidemic in the league. So there were like three different games, 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.760 three different games where an uncatchable pass should have been 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.200 called instead of a p I and they affected the games. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:16.640 I'm not saying the Jets would have won that game 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.120 against Colts, but it was seven to seven rivers through 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.599 some nonsense up into the end zone. Ball could not 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.880 have been caught. They threw the flag anyway, and the 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.960 floodgates were open. Not that it might have changed the outcome, 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.000 but I'm just saying, if you're not gonna call it, 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.880 get the word out of the rule book. The ref 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.840 The refs are fantastic in the National Football League. I mean, 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.720 if you watch the Sunday Night Football game, they were 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.160 only off by an entire yard on a fourth down 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.800 play a terrible yeah with the zig zag spotting method, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.400 I mean that thing. That method is very strong. I mean, 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.240 if you can miss a spot by an entire yard, 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.640 fantastic job. NFL off as their first zig zag spotty 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.840 method of the year. I'm left longing for the days 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.839 of past interference challenges. There's a bad guy thought the 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.720 same thing I was like. I never thought I would 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.360 ask for those, but there should be challenged. Um. Best 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.520 bets time, Let's start with those, Brad your number one 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.959 of three best bets. Number one gonna go against Not 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.880 that I'm a big Texas Cowboy fan, but I'm going 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.559 against Cowboys. I'm going to Cleveland Browns plus four and 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.600 a half I'd really like to see him get Kareem 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.920 Hunt back, because whenever Hunt that he's he's a weapon. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.720 They put you know, running the ball, put him out, 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.720 spread him out wide. Hunt and Chubb or a deadly 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.000 two headed monster. But the thing I really like here 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.400 is I like the way the Cleveland offensive line, in 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.080 both defensive lines are playing. They went out and got Conklin, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.120 they got Jedderick Wills in the draft. They already had 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.880 two monsters in Sheldon Richardson and Myn Garrett, Myles Garrett 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.880 on the defensive line. I like the way that the 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.360 h the Browns lines are playing, and I don't like 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.560 the way that the Cowboys lines are playing. They could 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.480 be they could be down to Marcus Lawrence and he 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.280 he could be limited as well being hurt. And whenever 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.280 we thought Cowboys back, and then you thought the anchor 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.959 of that team is that offensive line that big Cowboys run, 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:09.360 feed Zeke the deck attack. Frederick retired, Collins hurt, Tyren Smith. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.400 The only one left is Zack Martin on that line 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.880 where they played well against the Sehawks and the Falcons, 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.920 but they got absolutely destroyed by Aaron Donald the Rams. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.160 I like the matchup for the Browns here. I don't 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.200 really don't get why the Browns. I mean, from what 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.800 I've seen from the Cowboys so far, I don't get 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.720 why the Browns are four and a half point dog. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.040 I like the Browns and smash Dallas defense, bad, bad, 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.280 and hurt. They were questionable coming into the year and 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.400 now they're all injured. No all, but you know what, 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:40.200 so but the key players. Yeah, especially Okay, so Cleveland. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:46.960 Brad's first best bet Bethany Well, obviously my husband plagiarized 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.840 my notes because he is dying to win like me. Um, 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.040 So I am going to go with the Browns as 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.760 well as my first best bet here, but for a 0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:00.240 very different reason. I love the Baker Mayfield commercials. You know, 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:05.040 he has clearly made the Browns his home like you 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.480 know stadium. Yeah, yes, yes, the whole team. He's such 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.160 a homebody. I'm a homebody. I'm vibing with it this week. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.960 So we're gonna We're gonna go with the Browns. Browns 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.040 because of Baker Mayfield's commercials. Yes, I gotta tell you, Brad, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.040 that explanation far better than yours, and I think so 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:27.960 far better than yours. Mikey number one, same same saying, wow, wow, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.600 guaranteed losers. This game cannot possibly win, cannot possibly has 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:40.240 no shot the brown the Cowboys. Everybody's crying about it 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.000 was a bad beat. If you had the Cowboys. I 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.760 want to punch the kidding me. The game should have 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.640 been over if he doesn't fumble the ball. And you 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.400 know who did this? No, it wasn't your body, it 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.360 was somebody else. They're like, no, it was he. I 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:57.360 was like, are you kidding me? In the game willingly? 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.760 Willingly let's go to the Boy's Like, oh no, Gil, 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.920 you want watching the same game. What Ezekiel Elliott has 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.160 become an energy sucking source on that team. You give 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.360 him the ball, it's a zero play and it kills 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.280 their drives. That offensive line cannot run block. They're okay 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.280 pass blockers, but they can't run block at all. So 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.720 there's no point. And I don't think. I think he's 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.040 a worse pass receiving back than I thought, because he 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.800 does he he drops too many balls. He does, he does, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.320 he doesn't make quick cuts. Um, I think the wrong 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.600 team's favored here. I think the Browns are the better team. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:31.960 I really do. And I know there will be what 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.200 twenty six thousand people there, uh you know, in in 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:41.040 that that state of Texas that doesn't recognize COVID. But but, but, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.720 but but I think that the Browns are better on 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.720 both sides of the ball than the Cowboys. I think 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.800 that I don't know who's gonna win the NFC East. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.160 There's not one decent team in the whole lot. Your 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.160 Redskins are still vi I'm not getting you. Your Redskins 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.760 are still viable. There. The Eagles picked up ground on 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.800 the entire division with the tie last week. Now, I 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.920 understand why Peters if he ties the rest of the way, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.960 That's why I wat this thing. Great week for the 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.840 Eagles too, and fourteen might get it done. But the 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.800 bottom line here is I think the Browns winning the 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.200 game and I'll take the four and a half. Okay, Todd, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.399 please don't say look at Todd's ever ready? What are 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.240 you doing, Todd? Todd? What are you doing back there? Um? 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.240 I was turning on the light? Is that okay with you? Gill? 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.040 That's okay? But what it's your turn? We'd rather you 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:21.440 be in front of the game. Are ready to go? 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:23.879 It's okay? What would you like to pick. What's your 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.840 first best bet. I would like as my first best 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:33.359 best bet the under in the Jacksonville Jaguars against the 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:40.480 Cleveland Bengals of forty nine. I believe Cincinnati. You read Cincinnati. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.680 What did I say? Cleveland Beals? Oh, I'm sorry. The 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.879 Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars go at it with 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.680 a total of forty nine, and I would like to 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.760 go under that forty nine. I've been watching a lot 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.680 of this Bengals now. I know Joe Burrow is the 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.880 second coming of Jesus in the Messiah wrapped in one 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.040 as as soon as he gets his offensive line. I 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.840 never heard Jesus or the Messiah eating an offensive line. 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.520 But okay, I understand Joe Burrow is gonna be great. 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.480 He's fantastic. He's the best, he says, and maybe he is, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.359 I'm not saying is. And he has looked pretty good 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:16.080 for a rookie. Cincinnati does not stun me on the 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.720 offensive side of the football. I think they're a team 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.760 that can you know, they play the Chargers a lot 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.359 of field goals. They seem like a team that can 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.280 get you. In nineteen twenty three, twenty four, They're not 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.840 a team that's gonna just light up the scoreboard. And 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.800 Jacksonville Jaguars with Minshew, he's also been pretty good. But again, 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.080 I think a lot of these numbers are getting inflated 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.080 to the point where it's getting ridiculous. Now. It's because 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.840 so many games have gone over. I believe two thirds 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.640 of the games have gone over in the first three weeks. 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.000 It's the most overs we've had in the first three 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.440 weeks of an NFL season in many years. I saw 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.520 on Twitter somebody had it listed there and it's there's 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.280 obviously been a ton of overs, no doubt. But now 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.520 you notice the numbers are starting to get crazy inflated, 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.560 all kind of fifties all over the board and forty 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.480 nine for US Cincinnati Bengal Jacksonville Jaguar. It just sounds 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.520 too high to me. I'm sorry, I've got to go 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.760 under under forty nine. These are not teams that are 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.120 incredibly offensive. Give me the under forty nine. I'm gonna 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.080 get the forty nine and a half. About that. See, 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:19.920 you see what I do. I try to make it hard, 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.680 so uh, we should probably have I probably buried the 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.399 headline Pittsburgh Tennessee for those of visit, of course postponed 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:33.040 because now you have five players on the Titans and 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.760 five additional Firstondel tested positive positive for COVID nineteen. First 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.480 it was delayed from Sunday to perhaps Monday, then perhaps 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.240 to Tuesday. Now it's delayed beyond this week and beyond 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.360 next week at a minimum. So no Pittsburgh, Tennessee, which 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:48.720 from a viewing standpoint, by the way, just let me 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.359 say we hope everybody's safe and healthy from all that 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.440 and all their family members. But besides that, from a 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.200 football viewing standpoint, that was one of ten games early 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.680 on Sunday, so you know that's all right, we still 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.440 got nine games to navigate through. It's not right. It's 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.600 just not fair. You don't get to watch enough. It's 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.000 it's bad because you don't have enough afternoon games for 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.960 businesses to sustain their crowds there because it's beIN so 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.280 far from you know, ten to three. What's what's the 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.760 reasoning though they want they want ratings on two or 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.240 three games. That's still in good business model for the NFL. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.600 You have to have to ask bread Britain knows about 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.840 all the politics that go behind who do I ask 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:26.200 Britain Musberger, most intimately familiar with the pro sports and 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.280 television It might have something to do with the fact 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.520
