1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. Oh and Happy Friday, everybody. 2 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire, Friday, November twenty great 3 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: Thursday night of football, Big, big weekend ahead. We will 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: be giving away money a little bit later in the show. 5 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: Very excited. I'd love to just give away money because 6 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: as we saw Thursday night, your boys went into bets. 7 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: Thank you Seattle, Arizona under hits. There was a little 8 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: bit of a sweat there in the fourth um. Really 9 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: good game. We will dive into that. We will also 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: look at a pretty significant NBA trade that went down 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: Thursday and uh, you know, nice move for the Golden 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: State Warriors. I like it. Like listen, they don't have 13 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: a lot of options given Clay Thompson situation, but it 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: was a good move. And Rob g has a incendiary 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: take that I'll try to remain calm about, but we 16 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: will unveil that in a little bit. I want to 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: quickly just start with Thursday night football, Seahawks win. Listen. 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: I told you guys, I like Arizona, but I just 19 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: had a feeling that they wouldn't be really in a 20 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: good spot here. They trailed the entire game came out 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: listless two straight three announced to start the game, and 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: they were never really able to get their patented running 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: game on track. I mean, they were in for fifty 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: seven yards. That's it, Like that's not gonna cut it. Meanwhile, 25 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: Seattle got Carlos hide back, and if you remember, without 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: Hyde or Carson, they have no running game and they 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: can't do anything. They rested for a hundred and sixty 28 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: five yards against Arizona. It was a really good rushing performance. 29 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: And here's the big picture storyline. Okay, Seattle Seahawks take 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: over first place in the a f C West and 31 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: they're about to get hot, folks, And the Seattle Seahawks 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: are probably gonna get the number one seed in the NFC. 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Yes you heard it. Seattle on pace right now to 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: get the number one seed and a bye in the 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: NFC playoffs. And I know you're saying, well, Jay, what 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Their only seven and three. You 37 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: gotta look at the schedule. Up next, the trip to 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: the East Coast to play the Eagles, who are very 39 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: hit and miss Seattle probably will be favored in that one. 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: Then they play the Giants, then they play the Jets. Okay, 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty nice to have the NFC, least at the 42 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: back end of your schedule. We know the Giants stink, Okay, 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: they've been a little competitive, a little frisky here. Seattle 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: will probably be favored by four to seven. Then they 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: play the Jets. Both those are at home, okay, and 46 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: then they go east to play Washington. So you basically 47 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: have four straight games you should win. So now you're 48 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: the seven and three quickly becomes eleven and three. Then 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: it's the rematch with the Rams, and the Rams have 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: had their number. Rams have won five of six, and 51 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: then it close out with the Niners, who are beat up. 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Kittle unlikely to be back. Jimmy g won't be there. 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: I don't think the Niners win that. So Seattle, by 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: virtue of this victory, takes the lead in the division 55 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: and probably sets himself up to win five of their 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: final six and go about thirteen and three. Um, listen, 57 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: that's definitely gonna be in play. Twelve of four, thirteen 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: and three definitely in play, and Seattle gets that number 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: one seed. And folks, I know people can be down 60 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: on Seattle for the defense. Um. Last week they held 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: the Rams and check twenty three points. This week they 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: hold the Cardinals to one. Those are two high octane 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: offenses starting to get better. Carlos Dunlap the mid season 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: pick up two sacks Thursday, two tackles for loss, including 65 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: the game winning sack on fourth down of Kyler Murray, 66 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: who nobody can sack. Okay, And I think that running 67 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: back situation is huge because what did the addition of 68 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: hide mean for Metcalfine Lockett. They were able to eat 69 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: lock it nine catches, metcalf Gat back on track with 70 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: three catches, a big TV catch, drew a huge UH 71 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: pass interference to set up a field goal late in 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: the first half. You never want to go overboard based 73 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: on one win, but things are setting up really nicely 74 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks. If you have any interest in 75 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: maybe a Super Bowl futures ticket on Seattle, now is 76 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: certainly the time to do it before they get hot. 77 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Obviously you would have liked to get it earlier in 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: the week. Um, but Seattle folks, I listen. I don't 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: love this team. I don't think they're the best in 80 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: the NFC, but when you factor in the New Orleans 81 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: Saints injury to Drew Brees, we don't know how long 82 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be out. Jamis Winston, I don't think he's 83 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: somebody I can trust. We saw Teddy Bridgewater filling admirably 84 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: last year for Breeze five games five and oh five 85 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: and oh against the spread. Do you trust Jamis Winston 86 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: to do that first big test this weekend against the Falcons? 87 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: And um money is showing in the desert on the Falcon. 88 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: So uh, the big professional gamblers already not trusting Jamis, 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: And I don't know that I do either. If Jamis 90 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: can't win these games, so he fills in for four 91 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: games and they go two and two, Seattle probably passes them. 92 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: And I know the Packers have an easy schedule. They 93 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: will certainly be in the mix um with Seattle for 94 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: the number one seed. Big spot for the Packers here 95 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: against the Culture this weekend. We will definitely talk about 96 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: that game in the Best Bet. Rob g Any thoughts 97 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: on Seattle taking down Arizona in what I thought was 98 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: a pretty good game. Yeah, I thought it was really 99 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: good game too. The one takeaway had it I know 100 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: that Kyler was a little bit banged up with the shoulder. 101 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: He said after the game he was fine, but he 102 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: could tell he was obviously a little bit limited. It 103 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: just a little um. It felt like you saw the 104 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: difference between the guy who's on the come up, which 105 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: is Kyler, and the guy who's already there and Russell Wilson. 106 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: And I know the numbers, you know, don't really bear 107 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: that out because you know Kyler through for more yards. 108 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: But just if you watch the game, you saw that 109 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson didn't make the same kind of mistakes that 110 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: a young quarterback would make. He's more of the evolved version. 111 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: Just looking at that last drive, they marched all the 112 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: way down Arizona and got right past midfield very quickly, 113 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: and suddenly, for whatever reason, Kyler Murray decided I don't 114 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: need a first down anymore and go touchdown. And it's incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, 115 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: And it's like, that's something like only a young quarterback. 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Let me say, did you think Isabella should have caught 117 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: that or the one over the middle? I thought they 118 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: were both catchable. I could have They're not gonna throw 119 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: a flag there, but it looked like on the first 120 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: one the dB was there a moment early. But again 121 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: to Larry Fitzgerald, yeah, I think you can make a 122 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: case that that could have been. I mean, but at 123 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: that point in the game, it's rare that they're going 124 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,119 Speaker 1: to make that call when it's that close. The Isabella passed, 125 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: I felt hung up in the air just the second 126 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: too long. That was about it. And and like I said, 127 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: it's not like he didn't play well or he was 128 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: a bad game. It's just you see the maturity level 129 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: difference between Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray last night. And 130 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: you know, as you said, this could be the difference 131 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: between who wins the NFC West and who's a wild card. 132 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: So that was a big game. Yeah. Arizona, by the way, 133 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: they were a little dinged up. You notice the defensive line. 134 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: I know they had some sacks early. They're down to 135 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: defensive linemen in Arizona and that hurts, you know, you 136 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: get pushed around the line of scrimmage. Puts a lot 137 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: of pressure on Kyler playing from behind all night. Um. 138 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: So that wraps up a pretty good Thursday night football 139 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: and again the undercash So we'll take that, um, rob G. 140 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Before we get to the NBA, do you want to 141 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: identify the three victors for the greatest comment on the 142 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: iTunes contest putting me on the spot, but luckily I 143 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: have them saved here right on my phone. There's there 144 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: was plenty to choose from. I will say that give 145 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: kudos out to the straight Fire listeners. A lot of 146 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: good stuff, So it was tough to nail down to three, 147 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: but I did pick three that I liked. So let 148 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: me know, Jason, if you're on board with it, give 149 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: me the executive decision to make these choices. I will 150 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: give you the three that I chose fire when ready. 151 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: The first first one I chose is from a Pirate 152 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: Stereo gave us five stars. Of course, there's what he said. 153 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: J Money Mac and Rob Jesus are the best in 154 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: the business.

I 164 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: saw a bunch of social media activity Thursday night centered 165 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: around like a wrap off on Versus. I gotta plead 166 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: ignores this is good. I was too embarrassed to ask 167 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: this when I saw it. Was this on television? And 168 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: if not, where was it? And like what what went down?

UM. 330 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: Kelly Oubre is one of the most expensive signings in 331 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: NBA histories going to the Warriors and his salaries fourteen 332 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: point four million, But it's gonna push the Warriors into 333 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: the luxury tax, so you gotta tack on an extra 334 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: sixty eight mill and essentially the Warriors owners to get 335 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Kelly bre are essentially gonna have to write a check 336 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: for in the neighborhood of a hundred million to a 337 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four million dollars for Kelly bre a 338 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: no defense playing offensive machine. Um. Listen, I think when 339 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: you lose Clay Thompson, you've got to make a move. 340 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: The fan base was devastated. Listen. It's a tough sell 341 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: that the Warriors can get back anywhere without Clay. What 342 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: can you do? You can spend money, and I respect 343 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: the Warriors for giving it a shot. I definitely do 344 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: that new arena. You gotta have fans in it. They're 345 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna be shelling out all the money to make sure 346 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: that the tests are right so they can have fans 347 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,239 Speaker 1: next year. Ubre only two years old. He pumped in 348 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: eighteen a game last year. I think he could be 349 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: a twenty two point a game guy. You get Ubre, Wiggins, Curry. 350 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if Wiseman is gonna be ready yet. Um, 351 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: you've got the makings of a team that's probably seventy 352 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: two games season. I don't know. They're probably a forty 353 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: win team, right, forty and thirty two maybe in the 354 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: five to eight playoff range. There's not a lot of 355 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: room for error. If you lose Curry, you're screwed. Um, 356 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: and you've got to hope guys like Pashal and Pool 357 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: can be pivotal off the bench. I'm too into the 358 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: Warriors to to totally sell them. Um, I like, kill 359 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: you Bray. He's just gonna have to play defense like 360 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: him and Wiggins are not known as defensive guys. But 361 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a bet over team this year because 362 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: they're gonna make a lot of threes. Okay, so this 363 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: is this is gonna lead me into my take here. 364 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: Before I get to I can ask you a question, what, 365 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: in your opinion, would constitute a successful season for this 366 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: Warrior's team. Knowing that they don't have Clay Thompson and 367 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: will assume that for now, they don't make a trade. 368 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: Just whatever they have right now. KLi Huber is their 369 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: big addition. What would you consider a successful season? So, 370 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: assuming everyone's healthy right and plays, you know, what are 371 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: sixty five games? Um, make the playoffs and without your 372 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: second best player, it's safe to say that he's your 373 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: second best player of course. Um, I think being competitive 374 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: in the first round series would be a win. Getting 375 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: out of the first round series would be a successful season. Um. 376 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: If they're the eighth seed, gonna be a tough sledding. Um. 377 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: I think they've really got to go for the five 378 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: six seed. You don't want to play the Lakers or 379 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: Clippers first round. But think about it. If Kauai loses 380 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: Paul George, what's a successful season. Obviously Paul George is 381 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: better than Clay, but you know what I mean. If 382 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: a d goes down, what's the successful season? Like anybody 383 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: loses their second best player. If Yo gets loses Murray 384 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: Denver's nothing. If Porzingis goes down, Luke has limited he 385 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: can't do that much without him, So I would say, 386 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a dillarback getting to the playoffs and 387 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: being competitive in the first round, not getting swept, winning 388 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: a couple of games, successful season. See, and I think 389 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: that that it should be the bare minimum for this team. 390 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: Well yeah, when you you sorry, let me add one thing. 391 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: When you've got a one hundred million dollar luxury tax bill, 392 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: it's probably that's not going to cut the mustard. You're right, 393 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: So they gotta get out of the first round. Well, 394 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: this is why I mean, because you brought up you know, 395 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: if Paul George gets hurt, I family Davis gets hurt 396 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: with those guys, you know, maybe not the Clippers. You know, 397 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: they're probably a bad example because they have depth, but 398 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: the Lakers are very top heavy. You know, Dallas doesn't 399 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: really have a ton of depth. That's why they had 400 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: to make a trade to UH to pick up Josh Richardson. Um. Yeah, 401 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: Portland's obviously doesn't have much jet like you know, other 402 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: than maybe Denver and the Clippers, there's nobody who's really 403 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: has more than two or three really good players than 404 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of role guys. So the Golden State Warriors, 405 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: even without Clay Thompson, who I thought if they were healthy, 406 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: they would have been the biggest test to the Lakers. 407 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: They have Steph Curry. They got a three time All 408 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: Star and All defensive player in Draymond Now, they got 409 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: you Bryan and Andrew Wiggins, which both guys are right 410 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: about eighteen to twenty points or game on on other teams. 411 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: Neither of them have ever made the playoffs. Right, that's fine. 412 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: They got a arguably the best rookie big men in 413 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: the draft. I would say he's the best, and a 414 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coach. If Steph Curry is really the 415 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: second greatest point guarder, the greatest point guard whatever your death, 416 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: somewhere in the top two, how is that not enough 417 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: for you to add minimum be getting a top four seed. Well, 418 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: now that I've given it some thought, as you were 419 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: explaining that, you you bring up some good points. Um, 420 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: let me add this. Because the Warriors missed the playoffs, 421 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: they haven't played a basketball game in eight months, They're 422 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: gonna be very well rested. You look at teams like 423 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: the Lakers, Um, they're gonna be exhausted. They were playing 424 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: in October. Season starts in December. Um, Denver Nuggets played 425 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: what three seven to seven game series? I mean they 426 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: have they had to be exhausted and the quick turnaround 427 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: time that's gonna be new for them. The Clippers, they 428 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: were playing into late September early acto. Like, there are 429 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: some of these playoff teams who were just gonna be drained, 430 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be some bad teams, I e. The 431 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: Warriors who didn't get to invite it to the bubble 432 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: and there's no excuse for them not to come out 433 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: and beat some ass like Draymond Green has to be 434 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: playing like there's no nights off. I don't think you 435 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: could take nights off. Um, So I don't know. Let 436 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Rob g and we probably say 437 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: this more for for later. But a team like the Lakers, 438 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: how many games are Anthony Davis and Lebron gonna play? 439 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: Seventy two games season? They were just playing. They just 440 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: won the title, and now you've got to run it 441 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: back two months later. I don't think that Lebron. I 442 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: know there's a narrative that he's gonna be skipping games earlier, 443 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: and this Sason, I don't think he's gonna skip I 444 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: could see him only playing like twenty minutes or something like. 445 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: But but that I don't think that's good. I don't 446 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: think you have to warm up and all that stuff, right, 447 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: I think that that's what they're gonna do. I think 448 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: with them, they're gonna say, as long as we're top 449 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: for we're okay. I don't think they're gonna come out 450 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: gangbusters trying to get home court again. I just don't 451 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: think that they'll have the last I mean, plus Lebron 452 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: so competitive, rob do you can't have him played twenty minutes. 453 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: It's a close game with four minutes left and and 454 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: not have him to go in. You know he's gonna 455 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: want to go in and win the game. Well, it's 456 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Anthony Davis Dennis Shrewder show to 457 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: start off with. There are only two of the four 458 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: young guys they have on that roster, so you'll see 459 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: that a lot. But it's just I think, going back 460 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: to the Golden State Warriors, if I look at the 461 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: Western Conference, you expect that Houston and Okay, so you're 462 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: gonna fall off Houston. We're assuming James Harden is gonna 463 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: get traded if Steph Curry cannot get his guys ahead 464 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: of Donovan Mitchell, Damian Lillard, uh Devin Booker, then is 465 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: he really is he really that good? Like that's the 466 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: question if you're gonna put him on the same you know, trajectory, 467 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: like say, hey, Russell Westbrook got to the eight seed, 468 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: and it's like Wall he should be getting put compared 469 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: to a higher level than Russell Westbrook. He should be 470 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: getting compared to a higher level than Damian Lillard where 471 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: he is all time. And especially if we got guys 472 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: like are a good buddy calling Cowherd saying there's only 473 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: four players in the NBA who you know immediately if 474 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: you have on your team as a contender, it's Lebron, Kawai, Katie, 475 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: and Steph. If Steph's really that guy, there should be 476 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: no issue whatsoever given what they currently have on the roster, 477 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: even without Lay, that they should be better than these teams. Um, 478 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: the second best point guard an NBA history. Thing. I 479 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: just do want to take credit for being the first 480 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: to say that on Cowherd show, and I got shredded 481 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: for it by the Isaiah Thomas fans. And um, I 482 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: guess there's a John Stockton contingent online. Um. The weird 483 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: thing is Stockton never had to play without Malone. Isaiah 484 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: Thomas retired at like thirty maybe it's thirty two or 485 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: thirty three, retired young. Some of these guys we never 486 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: got to see them later in their career and how 487 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: they held up. Like I I hope Curry holds up. 488 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: But this is a guy who's what a buck eighty five? 489 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: He's he's you know, these these smaller guards like Derreck Rose, 490 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: I know he played a different brand and Curry um 491 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: with driving to the basket, but some of these smaller guards, 492 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: I don't know about the longevity. Um So, yeah, I'm 493 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm bullish on Curry UM and I'm hopeful that they 494 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: can do really really well this season. Um So, what 495 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: what are you saying? If Curry plays a full season, 496 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: so does Draymond Wiggins Zubra and they missed the playoffs, 497 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: that hurts Curry's legacy. I think his legacy is pretty 498 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: much set because he has the unanimous m v P 499 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: in the three Rings. But I think the idea that 500 00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: he is I think Isaiah Thomas entered that conversation again 501 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: with him. I don't think it's a shoeing that he's 502 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: the Visaiah Thomas Asia did go to was it three 503 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: or four straight finals Um, well, he he did beat 504 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: Jordan's bird and Magic in their primes, so that that's 505 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: his calling card in that situation. Yeah, I know, it's 506 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: very no doubt about it. Um Yeah, that's interesting, isn't listen? 507 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: Rob G. This is why you're the best in the business. Bro. 508 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: All right enough, NBA, it's time for everybody's favorite portion 509 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: of the Friday Show, the best bets for the NFL weekend. 510 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching 511 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: the game. He's making money while you do it. Here's 512 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: your best bet. It's time for the best bet here 513 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: on straight fire. I thought I had a four O 514 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: last weekend, ended up three and one. The Eagles screwed me. Yeah, 515 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: they did, Philadelphia Eagles. I'm done with those frauds this year. 516 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: You guys know, sometimes you have a dicy iss gonna 517 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: make and your heart is saying one thing in your 518 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: head is saying the complete opposite other. Usually it happens 519 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: with like women, drugs, alcohol. It happens to me with 520 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: gambling frequently. And this week I do want to jump 521 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: on the Eagles. My head and the number is saying Eagles, 522 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: j come on, and my heart is saying bro, You've 523 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: been just beat up by Philadelphia, oh and three in 524 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: the circle contest this year with the Eagles, so I'm 525 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: not taking them lying in the contest of three, I'm punting. 526 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: I can't deal with the Eagles. So let's get to 527 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: the picks. I was gonna give you four again this week. However, 528 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: I had to drop one late Thursday night as I 529 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: was researching. I'll start with the one I dropped. I 530 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: dropped the Tennessee Titans, and I really liked everything I 531 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: saw about the Titans. UH. In this matchup extra time 532 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: right for them to heal following that tough loss to 533 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: the Colts. You've got a Ravens team that got beat 534 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: up by the Patriots, gave up a hundred and seventy 535 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: yards rushing. We know Lamar Jackson and the offense are broken. 536 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: We were early on that. We've been telling you they've 537 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: been leaking oil for a good four weeks now, and UM, 538 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that I trust that offense. 539 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: But the real story that I liked about UH Tennessee 540 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: here was the ability to get back to Derrick Henry 541 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: on the ground and five snaps into that Patriots game, 542 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens lost Brandon Williams their nose tackle they had 543 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: already been they didn't have Calais Campbell, and without those 544 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: two on the line, Patriots rest for a buck seventy three. Now, 545 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna say it's a monsoon Jay, come on, 546 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you Tennessee is gonna work them on 547 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: the ground. That's gonna be the game plan. My issues 548 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: and the reason I backed off Tennessee. This is how 549 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: nerdy I am with gambling guys. This is I mean, like, 550 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a loser and say this is 551 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: what it takes to be successful. But I'm going through 552 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: every team's injury report every night. I know that sounds nerdy. 553 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: It's just a quick google the Tennessee Titans. These seven 554 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: starters miss practice on Thursday. Clowney, Humphries, a Dory Jackson, 555 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: Ben Jones on the off pensive line, Saffled on the 556 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: offensive line, Kelly on the offensive line. Now, it could 557 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: just be a rest day, but seven starters missing practice, 558 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: that ain't a good sign. And Adam Humphreys is the 559 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: guy who's been a big loss. He got concussed a 560 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: few weeks back against the Bengals took a kill shot, 561 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: and without him, there's no slot receiver. The backup is 562 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: a total non factor, and the defenses have adjusted. They 563 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: don't have to cover the slot at all, so they 564 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: can focus on the tight end John hu Smith, and 565 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: they can focus on the line, and and Henry hasn't 566 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: had much room to operate at any rate. I backed 567 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: off the Titans because of the injuries. Now, if we 568 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: proceed the rest of the day and all those starters 569 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: are back, I may have to revisit. Um, but I 570 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: backed off the Titans. So my three picks for the 571 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: best bet, and UM, it feels like a three, you 572 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: know I it does. I'm gonna start. Oh boy, I'm 573 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: going back to the well. Give me the Miami Dolphins, 574 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: favored by three and a half in Denver. I don't 575 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: care if it's Brent Rippon, I don't care if it's 576 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: Drew Lock, doesn't matter to me. I'm riding the Dolphins. Now. 577 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: There is some risk here, Okay, this game on the 578 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: look ahead was a pick them. So after Denver vomited 579 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: all over themselves five turnovers, um, Miami handily beats the Chargers. 580 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: That don't look at the final score Miami owned the 581 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: second half. Um, I just say, I've got to go 582 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: back to this Miami team. They're better in defense, They're 583 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: much better in special teams. That's where they have an 584 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: edge over almost everybody they play. And I just I 585 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: can't make a case to back Denver at home. I 586 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: know the altitude is an issue. I looked at the weather. 587 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be in the high thirties, low forties. It's 588 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: whether it's not gonna be an issue. Um. And one 589 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: big thing is Denver has been prone to slow starts. 590 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: Remember against the Falcons, slow start against the Chargers, slow 591 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: start against the Raiders, slow start. For whatever reason, vic 592 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: Fngio cannot get his team up for the games. Maybe 593 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: it's all the guys on I are, um, whatever the reason, 594 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: they're slow starters. Miami has a plus of any four 595 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: point differential in the first half. That's best in the NFL. 596 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: So if you want to take a nibble on the 597 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Dolphins first half, maybe that could be worth something. I 598 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: just I know, I know Miami's gonna struggle to a 599 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: will struggle in this game. It's it's too much of 600 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: a layoup okay. I mentioned earlier in the week, Denver 601 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: against the Raiders last week. Raiders were down there. Both 602 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: starting tackles. Denver hit the quarterback zero times. I mean, 603 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: that's unacceptable. Now they'll hear about it in the film 604 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: room and they'll be amped up this week Bradley Chubb 605 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: and company. Um too, we'll have a rough game, But 606 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: this feels like seventeen to nine type Dolphins win. Um. 607 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: I like the matchups with Xavian Howard on Jerry Judy. 608 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm not starting Jerry Judy and fantasy because Howard is 609 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: so damn good. Um. I just I think Miami's aside 610 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: here special teams defense, and I think they get just 611 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: enough done on offense to win a low scoring game. 612 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: Give me the Dolphins favored by three and a half. 613 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: All right, I'm taking Aaron Rodgers on the road against 614 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: the Colts. Now, you guys know I'm bullish on the 615 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: Colts this here. M. I've been very accurate on the 616 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: Colts as well, gave him out last Thursday. I just 617 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: think this is a great spot for the Packers offense 618 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: to get right. When you look at the numbers here. Um, Yes, 619 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones has been injured. Yes, Aaron Rodgers has been 620 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: spotty this year. Yes, Davante Adams missed practice this week 621 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: with an ankle. UM. There are some questions for the Packers, 622 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: But what I can't get over here is when you 623 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: break down where the Colts have struggled and where they've 624 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: been good. They're going into a dome in Indy. Aaron 625 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: Rodgers has played three dome games this year. UM, I 626 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: think it was Texans and Saints and UM Vikings or 627 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: something like that. Aaron Rodgers twelve touchdowns, zero interceptions, seventy 628 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: three percent completions in a dome this year. He's just 629 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: slinging it around like he's dominating. And there's not gonna 630 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: be a weather element here. Obviously in the Dome there 631 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: was a bit of a weather their element last week, UM, 632 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: at home against the Jacks, he didn't look that's sharp, 633 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: But it's a JAG's easy to play down to their level. UM. 634 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: I think that return of Alan Lazard is huge. Remember 635 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: the last game he played, he just ripped the Saints 636 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: apart at like a buck forty five, receiving awesome performance. 637 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: And I do think the Colts defense is legit, no 638 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: doubt about it. They're gonna keep this close. I don't 639 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: see them getting blown out. However, looked at the quarterbacks 640 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: that this defense has faced this year. Okay, and I 641 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: don't want to hear Lamar Jackson because he's not an 642 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: m v P he was last year. He's ordinary this year. 643 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: The best highest right quarterbacks according to Pro Football Focus 644 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: that the Colts have faced Kirk Cousins in Week two 645 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: when the Vikings were reeling and Ryan Tannehill last week. 646 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: That's it. Aaron Rodgers is a massive step up in class. 647 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: I like the Packers here going on the road and 648 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: get it getting the victory. Excuse me, Jayear Alexander their 649 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: best cornerback, he's back. Kevin King their second best cornerback, 650 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: he's back. I think it'll be close, but give me 651 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: the Packers getting two points on the road in Indie 652 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: and my final pick U. It's really a line that 653 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: confused me initially. The Tampa Bay Bucks are only four 654 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 1: and a half point favorites on UM Monday Night football 655 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: and what should be a good game. I'm taking Tampa 656 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: by four and a half. I don't think this will 657 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: stick around to four and a half. My guess is 658 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: it could pick up to six. Five of course, is 659 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: a dead number. So if it's five, it could easily 660 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: go to six. This is the rams fifth trip to 661 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: the East Coast this year. I don't know what Seanan 662 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: McVeigh to did the schedule makers, but they totally shipped 663 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: on him. It's brutal, Um, that's just unfair. Five trips 664 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: to the East Coast in the first eleven weeks or 665 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: twelve weeks of the season, that's just I mean, that's wrong, um. 666 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: And the problem is they've got to make this trip 667 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: without really the heart and soul of their team. Andrew Whitworth, 668 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: the left tackle veteran. Uh, this is a guy who's 669 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, one of the premier le tackles 670 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: in the league. After he left the Seattle game last week, 671 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: I talked about with this, with this with Cowherd and 672 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: Charissa Thompson on our Monday Show. Their first drive in 673 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: the second half was scripted, went down the field, boom, touchdown. 674 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: The next three drives after that, no Whitworth against Seattle. 675 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: A terrible defense the Rams had I think thirteen plays 676 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: for twenty one yards and the inability to move the 677 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: ball with the lead. I know they're playing a bit safe. 678 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: Got me a little unnerved. That's a bad Seattle defense. 679 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: Now you've got to do it against a Tampa defense. 680 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: Second in pressure rate, second in blitz percentage. Todd Bowls 681 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: likes to get after the quarterback. Jared Goff does not 682 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: like pressure. And I remember when I picked the Dolphins 683 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: a few weeks back against the Rams, and I said, listen, 684 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna blitz the hell out of golf. They got 685 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: the cornerbacks to lock them up on the outside. And 686 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: what did they do all games? Zero blitz both safeties 687 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: at the line. Nobody deep golf was shook. Same game 688 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: plan that Brian Flores had in the Super Bowl. Okay, 689 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: I can see Tampa in corporate eating a lot of 690 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: the similar elements bum rushing golf and trying to take 691 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: this game over. Now. My concern for the Bucks is 692 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: they've played three primetime games this year, oh and three 693 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: against the spread, got their butts kicked by the Saints, 694 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: um didn't cover in a win against the Giants, didn't 695 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: cover in a loss to the Bears. Somewhat troubling. I 696 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: don't know how much that matters. I think I've read 697 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: something that boost Arians this week is going to try 698 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: to change the practice times a little bit. Maybe get 699 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: the old man Tom Brady out on the practice field 700 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: at night, because I don't know. You guys can make 701 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: jokes all you want. Forty three year old Brady hasn't 702 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: looked particularly sharp in the three primetime games. Now we 703 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: know he's great in prime time with the Patriots, but 704 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: you know, weird, dear. I will say, that's not enough 705 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: to scare me off the Bucks four and a half. 706 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: The other note, Uh, they did look bad against the 707 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: Saints twice. The Bucks in the other eight games. Are 708 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: you ready for this? Seven and one? And they're averaging 709 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 1: thirty three points again, So when they don't play the Saints, 710 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: they're hanging big points on anybody. I do like the 711 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: Rams defense, obviously. I love Jalen Ramsey, this new defensive 712 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: coordinator Brandon Staley. If you remember the podcast we did 713 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: with Preston Johnson Sports Cheetah, he talked about an article 714 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: about Staley. I read that and the game plan against 715 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: Seattle was phenomenal. However, now if you're the Rams, how 716 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: do you go about Ramsey on Mike Evans Godwin or 717 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown? And I think I noted this on one 718 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: Day's podcast. If you look closely at that Buccaneers Panthers game. 719 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: Who was the receiver on third down that Brady went 720 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: to almost every time, Antonio Brown. That's his guy. Do 721 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: you put Ramsey on him? Probably not. Do you put 722 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: him on Mike Evans maybe? Or you put them on 723 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: God when the guy who can beat you deep? Um 724 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: I do think Ali Marpett the guard one of the 725 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: best guards in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus. 726 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 1: He's back from injury. Remember he missed that Saints game 727 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: and Brady got hurt. Just beat up three picks, um, 728 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: so that will help against Aaron Donald. I like the 729 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: Bucks folks minus four and a half. So the three 730 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: best bets for this weekend Miami Dolphins favored by three 731 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: and a half, Tampa favored by four and a half, 732 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers getting two points. Guys, it 733 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: was a phenomenal week. Um. I hope you guys had 734 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: fun listening to the podcast. Next week is Thanksgiving. Be 735 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: a slightly altered schedule. We will figure that out and 736 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: tell you about it on Monday, but we'll definitely be 737 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: back next week. Talk to you that
