O. God, that's incredible. 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 2: Big bank, small bank. I like to make money. All right, 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: This is the ultimate kabine you want to pull. 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: And we are underway. 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to another episode of strong Side Fridays 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: Here at the Action Network Podcast. I'm your host, Brandon 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 3: Anderson here with Raheem Palmer, as always on a Friday, 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 3: getting you ready for a little Week fourteen. 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: Action Week fourteen. 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 3: We still got a few bye weeks left this week, 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: a little odd into December at this point, but man, 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 3: we are hitting the home stretch. It's gonna be a 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: playoffs before we know it. Are you excited that we're 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: getting there? 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: With him? 22 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: Oh? 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm definitely excited. I'm actually as we're moving forward, 24 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited that we're gonna get some Saturday NFL games 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: next week. I think that's probably one of the most 26 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: exciting parts of the season for me. As college football 27 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: season ends. We've got to close out this NFL season strong. 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: We got five weeks left, so we'll see what happens. 29 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, we get some good ones too Saturday. Normally, it 30 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 3: seems like they treat Saturday games a little bit like 31 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: those Thursday nights, like that's gonna sneak a few teams 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: on there, like, yeah, you guys like football right here, 33 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: have the Houston Texans, you know. But I think we 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: actually get Patriots Colts next Saturday. It was a pretty 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: big one coming. So we'll come back to that one, 36 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: I know, when we get to our look ahead later. Normally, 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: as you know, we do three games on today's podcast, 38 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: getting you ready for the weekend and then get our 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: best bets in there. However, we actually really like four 40 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: games this week, and our best bets are all in 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 3: those games, so we're just gonna dive in on four games, 42 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: get a little bonus preview today. Actually there's a fifth game, 43 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: rams Car is also a good one we want to 44 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: look at, but that one's a Monday, Rahim and I 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,919 Speaker 3: will preview that one on our Monday podcast before that game, 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: So if you're wondering where that one is, come back 47 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: on the Monday podcast before we get into it today. 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: Just a reminder. 49 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 3: Like usual, odds today are from bet MGM, the official 50 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: odds provider of the Action Hour podcast. Make sure to 51 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: get the app and let's jump into it. The Buffalo 52 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: Bills heading to Tampa to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 53 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 3: Big week for Buffalo, short week for Buffalo. They're just 54 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: coming off that game Monday night against the Patriots, weird 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: throwback football game. For you, is there one takeaway for 56 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: the Bills as you think about, Okay, what did we 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: learn from that team going forward about this game? 58 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: I just think they had some bad lucking. At look, 59 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: they got into the reizone multiple times and they couldn't 60 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: punch it in, and I think that was the game 61 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: the page. I mean, obviously they can't stop the run, 62 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: that's something that we knew, but at the end of 63 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: the day, the offense has got to punch it in. 64 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's about what I thought as well. 65 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: It seemed like game if you played it multiple times 66 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: in that setting. I think the Bills win the game 67 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 3: more than they lose. So I don't really come away 68 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: super worried for it, like you think, oh, it's been 69 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: the game you waited for all season. Off the bye 70 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: week at home for the division and you blew it. Eh, 71 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: it's not really that takeaway. I don't think either of 72 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: us are seeing that, and so it's it's not like 73 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: the sky is falling for Buffalo. This is a big 74 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: game though, because if they lose in Tampa, they do 75 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: fall to seven and six, and there's a lot of 76 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: AFC congestion there, they would be in a little bit 77 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: of trouble of missing the playoffs. So my next question, then, 78 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: all season long, we've talked about this game almost every week. 79 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: We've talked about, Okay, Bucks build, it's coming, It's maybe 80 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: that MVP showdown. Tom Brady and Josh Allen have been 81 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: going kind of head to head all season. For most 82 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: of the year. Finally, not now after Monday, the Bills 83 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: have been the AFC favorites. The Bucks are the NFC favorites. 84 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: Right now. The Bucks are plus five hundred to win 85 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl at bet MGM. The Bills are plus 86 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: one thousand to win the Super Bowl. Well, are you 87 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: looking at either one of those teams. 88 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: As we hit the home stretch here, I'm not necessarily 89 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: looking at the Bills because I don't think they've necessarily 90 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: impressed me too much. 91 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: This year. 92 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: But I do think the Bucks are a lot to 93 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: make it to the super Bowl. I think they can 94 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: hang with anybody, and obviously they've had some defensive injuries 95 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: all season long. The only issue this team has had 96 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: is playing on the road. 97 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: So Bucks are at home minus three and a half. 98 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: Minus three is still out a few Bucks against the 99 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: Bills to shore week for Buffalo, they're traveling to Tampa. 100 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: We know the Bucks have been way better at home 101 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: this season. How much do you make of that home 102 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: field advantage in this game. 103 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm not making much of it at all. Like, look, 104 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: I like Buffalo in this game. Buffalo is in a 105 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: great spot. My model makes this game a pickle. The 106 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Buccaneers secondary is still being done. Jamel de Schumurphy Btany 107 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: both left Sunday's game, and while they could play, this 108 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: is still a secondary that could be passed on. One 109 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: of the things we know about Buffalo is they don't 110 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: have a good run game to pass the ball all 111 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: the time. So I think this is a spot which 112 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen could rot like, what's your thoughts? 113 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's truly interesting. 114 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: So a lot of the focus I think will be 115 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: on on that other side. We Get the Bucks offense 116 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: number one by DVA, so they've been the best all 117 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 3: season by you know, adjusting for strength to schedule. Get 118 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: the Bills defense number one by dvway and especially number 119 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: one against the pass, so that's just strength against strength. 120 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: Even the run attack and run defense, it is both 121 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: really good. But yeah, I think that what we'll tell 122 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: the story of this game. The Bucks are going to 123 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: score a little bit. They're probably not their usual high score, 124 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: but they're better at home. I do think that matters 125 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 3: a little bit. But yeah, the matchup of Buffalo's offense 126 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: against Tampa's defense, that's what intrigues me because in both 127 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 3: of those cases, the numbers are down a little bit. 128 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 3: Like if you look by EPA expected points added, we're 129 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: kind of seeing, Okay, what are these teams doing lately 130 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: over the last six weeks. Bill's offense by EPA only 131 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: eighteenth in the NFL, so basically about league average defense 132 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: only seventeenth, So they're kind of mirroring each other in 133 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: falling back towards the middle of the pack. Bills offensively 134 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: actually have a negative EPA during that stretch. So I 135 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: think kind of what I thought Monday night, which is 136 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: the Bills can win if josh Allen does it. And 137 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 3: Josh Allen could have done it Monday. He had a 138 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: few throws he looked pretty good. Clearly they trusted him 139 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 3: with the big arm to make those throws. He's gonna 140 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: have to do it, and I don't know if I 141 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 3: trust him to you. 142 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that game was on him. 143 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: I think some of the play calling was a little disturbing. 144 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: They ran a little bit too much. I thought they 145 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: should have been a little bit more aggressive at times 146 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: when they had to win towards their back, like obviously 147 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 1: they can't run the ball, and this matchup you're gonna 148 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: see josh Allen just being aggressive. I really like this 149 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: spot for them. One of the turns I found interesting 150 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: is that Josh Allen is actually fifteen and eight against 151 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: the spread as an underdog throughout his career. I think 152 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: you look at the other side of the ball, even 153 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: without Sir Davis White, this is still a defense which 154 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: is first and dB away, fifth and pass Russ win 155 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: where the Bucks aren't really this power running team. So 156 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm going with Buffalo here. Three and a half is 157 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: way too high. I think he got a chance to 158 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: win his game out right. 159 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: To be honest, this is where Tridaevius Dwhite, where he 160 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 3: really this is where his absence is really gonna come 161 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: into play. Like look, against the Patriots, we already talked 162 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: about that wasn't going to be the game where they 163 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: really missed the White. The Patriots don't have any big, 164 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: physical go to receivers, and certainly when you pass three 165 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: times all game, you don't really miss your star cornerback. 166 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: Now it's Mike Evans, it's Chris Godwin, and it's Tom Brady, 167 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: who looked like he was faltering but looked really sharp 168 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: last week. Plays much better at home. I think that 169 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: that's gonna be a problem and the Bucks, you're gonna 170 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: pass the ball, They're gonna be able to move on 171 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: this defense. We know too that Buffalo has been a 172 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: high variance team and they've struggled against the top defenses 173 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: and dominate the really bad teams. Well, the Bucks are 174 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: a little better defense and certainly not a bad team offensively, 175 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: So I get it. I understand the liking the Bills here. 176 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: Tom Brady is thirty five, fourteen and six against the 177 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: spread as a one square favorite at home. Seventy one 178 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: percent cover rate there and Bruce arians is sixty seven 179 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: percent against the spread and toss up spread. So if 180 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: you can get this at three, it's moving off of 181 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: three at a lot of books. I like it a 182 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: lot at three for Tampa pass three to three and 183 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: a half four, I think, yeah, we're losing the value 184 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: and missed the key number. And we've seen a lot 185 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: of these road dogs cover, so I may be more 186 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 3: cautious there. I feel good about Tampa winning, certainly better 187 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: than you do. I don't think it's a coin flip. 188 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: The Bucks have kind of faced the easy schedule in 189 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: terms of defenses, Like they've only faced one defense which 190 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: ranks top thirteen at pressure rate, and that was the Cowboys. 191 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills are first at the NFL and pressure rate, 192 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: and they don't have to blitz a time at all. 193 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: We all know one of the ways to get to 194 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: Brady is deliver some pressure. Tom Brady is sixteen and 195 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: passer raty when he's under pressure compared to second and 196 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: passer rating when he's not under pressure. I think that's huge. 197 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: Actually, I trust Tampa's offensive line, Tristan and Wurfs and 198 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: those guys at the front. They've really kind of been 199 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: the real MVP of that team this season, so I 200 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 3: think they can protect Tom. I think the home field 201 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: does matter here. I think to Davius White is a 202 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: big loss. Let's go to my favorite game on the slate, 203 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: San Francisco in Cincinnati. I talked with this one on 204 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 3: the look Ahead. I grabbed San fran plus two and 205 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: a half, took them again at plus two on Sunday 206 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: night in the hot read, I said the Niners. 207 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: Would be favored by the end of the week. 208 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: They are favored now, so San Fran minus one on 209 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: the road in Cincinnati. The line has been moving that way. 210 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: Money's coming in on San Francisco. Here's my question. You 211 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: look at these offense the defense on both sides, what 212 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: one unit do you feel best about on the field 213 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 3: in this game. 214 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I think it's the 215 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers offense. Obviously you got George kittleback, 216 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel may Or may not play. But when you 217 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: look at this bang team, they really hadn't faced many 218 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: top offenses. Like before last week's game against the Chargers, 219 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: they had only faced one offense, which was in the 220 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: top half of the NFL and EPA per play, and 221 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: that was the Packers in Week five, and we saw 222 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: what the Chargers did to them last week. They were 223 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: one of the top offenses in the league. Now you 224 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: have the number one ranked offense to EPA per play 225 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: over the last six weeks facing this Bengals team and 226 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: then so it's just like, I think they have a 227 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: huge edge over this over this Bengals defense. 228 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. 229 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 3: I agree that the Niners offense, I think is definitely 230 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: the best unit on the field. Number one EPA, not 231 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 3: just by a little by far. Their EPA is fifty 232 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 3: percent higher than every other team in the NFL except 233 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 3: the Cardinals and the Eagles. So that is a huge margin. 234 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 3: Jimmy Garoppolo number one in EPA at quarterback, number one 235 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: in EPA, plus completion over expected. So they're hitting all 236 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: the metrics right now. And I know that the response 237 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 3: to that might be like, yeah, well, but they're missing 238 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel, this electric receiver playmaker, and they might be 239 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: missing Elijah Mitchell. I think that that's missing the point 240 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: a little bit. San Francisco is doing this not because 241 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 3: of Deebo and Elijah they're not doing it in spite 242 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: of them. But it's George Kittle, it's Trent Williams especially, 243 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: who have dominated, and it's Kyle Shanahan. It's the play 244 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 3: calling and the system, the line, the blocking, the full back, 245 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: that whole thing. Kyle can find somebody else, Kyle can 246 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: let Ayuk make some plays or find another running back. 247 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: It's not those star players like it would be with 248 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: other teams. It's the system, it's that line, it's the 249 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: dominance upfront. And Cincinnati's defense too. In those same six 250 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,239 Speaker 3: weeks where San Pran has been number one EPA, Cincinnati 251 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 3: pass defense number thirty one EPA. So I know that 252 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: we don't like to trust Garoppolo too much, but they've 253 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: they've been getting gashed by some big plays down the field. 254 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: We saw Kittle make some really big plays last week. 255 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 3: I love Sam fan Francisco in the spot all week. 256 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: I still like them even as a favorite here. I 257 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: think there's a lot of value left. 258 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: And I think also the elephant in a room is 259 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. He dis located his pinky finger on his 260 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: throw in here, and with the impact on him going 261 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: forward and that situation, and then obviously you got guys 262 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: like Frett Warner coming back to the lineup. So I 263 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: like San Francisco. You know, we'll see what happens. 264 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on San Francisco. I still like 265 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: them at minus one. I think there's still a lot 266 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 3: of value there. Also, the Bengals have been a little 267 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: over committed to the run game, and the run game 268 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: really hasn't been super successful in recent weeks. And San 269 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: Francisco's run defense has been one of the best in 270 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: leagues in this stretch as well, So, especially with that 271 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: Burrow injury, more likely to try to run the ball, 272 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 3: keep that you know electric lately, miners offense off the field. 273 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's going to work. 274 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: And the Bengals aren't getting those big plays anymore, the 275 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 3: chunk plays down the field. 276 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: I know this line is at minus one. 277 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: It feels to me like this game might not actually 278 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: be close, Like the Niners could just really put their 279 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: imprint on this game and run away with that. So 280 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: we're both on the Niners there. Obviously, you can't get 281 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: those road trends we talked about anymore, but we like 282 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 3: them a lot. 283 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 4: The Action Network podcast is proudly presented by betmgm, and 284 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: to celebrate the twenty twenty one NFL season, betmgm is 285 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 4: offering a great sign up offer for our listeners, a 286 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: one thousand dollars risk free first bet.

Not available in Nevada. Thanks so 312 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 4: much for listening. Let's get back to the show. 313 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: Our last two games are both big division rivalry games, 314 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: so I want to talk about the division on. Both 315 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: of these start in the NFC East, So Dallas goes 316 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: to Washington, and this division we've got basically these teams 317 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: pretty much are playing a round robin against each other 318 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 3: the rest of the season, like it's almost exclusively division 319 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: games in the NFC East. 320 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: So the Cowboys right. 321 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: Now are at eight and four, they're two games up 322 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: on Washington, but Washington plays both Dallas games still, so 323 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: Washington actually controls their destiny. If they went out, they 324 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 3: win the division. So I know you're Cowboys fan. I 325 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: we've both been high on Dallas all season. Dallas is 326 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: a minus six to fifty to win the division right now. 327 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: Washington plus seven to fifty. Eagles are plus one thousand. 328 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: Do you think the NFC race is still open, the 329 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: Nasset East Race or is this still Dallas? 330 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: I think this is still Dallas is to win. And 331 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: part of my reasoning for that is how I feel 332 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: about Dallas this week. The Cowboys open is five point favorites. 333 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: Obviously there's mister start when to take it down, But 334 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't agree with the line move. I think Dallas 335 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: is rightfully favored in this game. It should win. If 336 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: they pick up this win against Washington, I think that 337 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: sets this team by far. So I mean, what are 338 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: your thoughts? 339 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you, and it's the exact same thing. 340 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: I like Dallas a lot in the spot. And if 341 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: Dallas does win here, now it's a real you know 342 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: we said of Washington, control their destiny. Now if you 343 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 3: lose this one, this is the one you have to 344 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: get to be able to keep that going. I looked 345 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: into the Eagles a little bit. I really like the 346 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: Eagles right now, but they're actually at they're on by 347 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 3: this week and they already have seven losses, So there 348 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 3: are three losses behind Dallas and it's a tough road ahead. 349 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: They basically need to win out. 350 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: And beat Dallas as one of those and get another 351 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: couple Dallas losses in there. So I'm not sure that 352 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 3: the division is as open as it appears to be. 353 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: I think two Dallas is the team that we continue 354 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 3: to be we the media, the way they we're talking 355 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 3: about them, we continue to be behind by a few weeks. 356 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: You know, it took everyone a long time to say, Wow, 357 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: hey the Cowboys are actually really good, they really belong 358 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: at the top of the NFC. And now they've kind 359 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: of stunk or kind of been mediocre over the last month, 360 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: and it seems like everyone has quickly written them off. 361 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 2: I'm not really sure that they should have. 362 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: So, you know, Dallas has lost three or five. They 363 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: had that ugly game against the Chiefs where they couldn't score, 364 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 3: they laid them out to the egg in Denver, couldn't 365 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: do anything. They lost on Thanksgiving. How worried are you 366 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: about this kind of funk that the Cowboys seem to 367 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 3: be in right now. 368 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: I think a lot of their funk has to do 369 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: with health more than anything else. Obviously, you have Tyron 370 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: Smith missing Tom, you got Cede Lamb missing time, you 371 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: got Mary Cooper missing Tom. On the defensive side of 372 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: the ball, you had DeMarcus Lawrence missing time, Raady Gregor 373 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: missing Tom, Dak Prescott missed some time. I think like 374 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 1: even this week, Ezekiel Elliott is gonna miss I mean, 375 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: he's mispracticed much of this week. So it's just like, 376 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with health, 377 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: and when this team is healthy, you're gonna see this team. Bro. 378 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: This is probably the healthiest this Cowboys team has been 379 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: in a while, So I really liked them in this spot. 380 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: Washington theirqu story. They've had some positive regression over the 381 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, but outside of the Buccaneers, who 382 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: have struggled in the role. As we missed before, they 383 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: defeated the Panthers with a washed up Cam Newton. They 384 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: defeated the Seattle Seahawks with Russell Wilson in his finger. 385 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: They defeated a Raiders team truggled to score against pretty 386 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: much everybody except the Cowboys. So it's like one of 387 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: the big things in this matchup is the Cowboys defense. 388 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: You got de Marcus Lawrence Bak, you got Randy Gregory Beck. 389 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: These are two guys that ranked four and thirteenth for 390 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: pressure rate. I think they can cause some problems for 391 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: this Washington football team, who is really kind of banged 392 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: up everywhere. 393 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we are in exact alignment on what we think 394 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 3: on both of these teams. I agree that was the setup. 395 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 3: On the Dallas question, I think that this funk is 396 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 3: no funk at all. I think it's just injuries. You're 397 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: missing your best players. You're not gonna play that well. 398 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 3: Karen Smith missed three games. You didn't even mention the 399 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott injury. Who missed the game, and then you 400 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: know it takes a while to get back into things. 401 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 3: And by the way, his leg was in like fourteen 402 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: pieces a year ago, like that's still part of the 403 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: thing coming back from it as well. So I'm not 404 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 3: that worried that Dallas looks good. The numbers have been good, 405 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 3: they've been good all year. They're healthy, these guys are 406 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 3: all back now. Dak is fine, looked good last week. 407 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: Karen Smith is playing. The receivers are there, and I 408 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 3: agree in Washington too that the talk right now is like, oh, 409 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: Washington four game wins streak, like they're the team no 410 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: one wants to face right now. I'm pretty fine facing 411 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 3: Washington right now, you know. Like, so they beat Seattle, 412 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 3: Vegas and Carolina on essentially coin flip games. They won 413 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 3: by two to two and four, and those are not 414 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 3: good teams. I don't think any of those teams are 415 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Is it really impressive to win three 416 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 3: close coin flip games against non playoff teams. I think 417 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 3: that's actually unimpressive. I think actually we should think less 418 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: of Washington for struggling so much against three teams, and 419 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: the number suggests that too. So we talk about DVA 420 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: a lot this time of the year. It's important to 421 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 3: look at weighted DVOA. So that's kind of putting more 422 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 3: stock into the recent games, and you would think the 423 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: way that these teams are playing, Washington's weighted DVA should 424 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 3: be much higher lately, because look how good they've been 425 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 3: for the season. Washington is number twenty one in DVOA. 426 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: Not that good, not a playoff DVA. They're way to 427 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: DVa's twenty second. They drop in a way to DVOA 428 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 3: because we're taking the strength of schedule there and they're 429 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 3: not playing that well against these very average looking teams. 430 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: We just got some really breaking news. Ooh, it's from 431 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: this very game. Tony Power actually tot reporters the day 432 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: that he tore his left pointer fasci adoring his touchdown 433 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: run against the Saint and he's going to be a 434 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: game time decision. So does that impact your thoughts on 435 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in this match? It? 436 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't help. 437 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 3: Tony Pollard has been really good this year and that 438 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: doesn't impact my read here. That does impact my feel 439 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 3: on the Cowboys long term. He's been that you know, 440 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: the speed factor with him is what makes him so great, 441 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: and that like that makes me feel not great about 442 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: him just the rest of the season. That feels like 443 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 3: an off season recovery sort of thing to me. But uh, 444 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 3: you know, Washington is about their horrible pass defense. Both 445 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: their star pass rushers are out their thirtieth and pass 446 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 3: in secondary rating, So all the better if Zeke is 447 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: banged up and Pollard is out or limited, great throw 448 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 3: the ball to the receivers you're gonna throw all over 449 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: this defense, Like I might actually like them a little 450 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: better from that. Dak Prescott to nineteen and eight against 451 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: the spread and division game, seventy percent cover rate. This 452 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 3: is the game where after Sunday everyone's like, oh, hey, yeah, 453 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 3: that's right, the Cowboys are really good. This is the 454 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 3: get right game where Dallas looks good. I'm not too 455 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: worried about Pollard, are you? 456 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not too worried about Pollar. Just it's pretty 457 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: clear that the Cowboys actually needed a running back. They 458 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: just actually just signed Edo Smith from the Falcons. So 459 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: a lot of times when you see somebod these roster moves, 460 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: it makes it clear that one of these two guys, 461 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: between Elliet or Power, they're gonna be fun. 462 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: All right, let's hear a quick word from our sponsor 463 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 3: before we get to our last game. All right, Baltimore 464 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 3: in Cleveland. We just watched this game two weeks ago 465 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 3: on a Sunday night. We wish we hadn't, So that 466 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 3: was an awful game to watch. I think there was 467 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 3: a stretch of like five minutes of gameplay where we 468 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: had four or five turnovers. Lamar Jackson turned it over 469 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 3: four interceptions, ugly game, but the Ravens got that win. 470 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: Cleveland took the week off. We get this weird scheduling 471 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: thing where the Browns play the Ravens twice in a 472 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 3: row with the week off in between, whereas the Ravens 473 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 3: had to go play Pittsburgh and this tough game comes 474 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: down to basically the last play. And we've talked about 475 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: that a lot here. How this is like maybe a 476 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: schedule lost spot where the Ravens just it's third division 477 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 3: game in a row, Cleveland got the extra rest, it's 478 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 3: a home game for the Browns. Do how much do 479 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: you think that that weird schedule thing is going to 480 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: come into play on this game? 481 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: I think it matters a time. Look, this is the 482 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: third straight divisional game, and we all know divisional games 483 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: they're really tough matchups. And then not only is it 484 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: the third divisional game, the Ravens are riddled with injuries 485 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: like I don't know, I mean, their injury report is 486 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: it looks like they're built in a hospital. And I 487 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: said this a ton, but obviously they lost Marlon Humphreys 488 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: last week, so even a flabby and sick Larry Holmes 489 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: status Ben Roethlisberger was able to carve up this defense. 490 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: And now you got Klais Campbell missed the practice with 491 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: the illness. You got Anthony Abra knee injury. You got 492 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: defensive bat Anthony Levigne senior knee injury. Like, these guys 493 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: are all banged up. So I'm looking at this spot 494 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: as a spot where the Browns have to win this game. Like, 495 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't see how they like they just played this 496 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: team two weeks ago, they probably should have won. And 497 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: then when you look at the Ravens offense, they haven't 498 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: crecked twenty and four out of their last five games. 499 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: You got a bad defense, you got struggling offense. This 500 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: is the Browns game to win. 501 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, the scheduling spot definitely concerns me for the Raven's sake, 502 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: and I agree this is this is really really a 503 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 3: big game for Cleveland, not just for their season, but 504 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 3: I think for for like the identity of what this 505 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: team thinks that it is. That's what worried me about 506 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 3: that game two weeks ago, and it's what still worries 507 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: me a little here for Cleveland is both of these 508 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: teams think that they're the same thing. They think that 509 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 3: They're this smash mouth, run the ball, run it down 510 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: your throat, control the game, win with defense and get home. 511 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: And if you watch that game two weeks ago, only 512 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: one of the teams on the field was that and 513 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 3: it was Baltimore. Baltimore control time of possession. Even though 514 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: they kept giving the possession away every time they could, 515 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 3: they still were up like thirty five twenty five minutes 516 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 3: in time of possession. They ran the ball all game, 517 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 3: even with running backs that are off of like madd 518 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 3: In two thousand and seven on their roster. And Cleveland 519 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 3: couldn't do that. Jack Conklin is out their run game. 520 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 3: Their O line hasn't been as healthy, and their backups 521 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 3: just haven't been, you know, matching up that way. And 522 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 3: it's there's some key matchups here that I couldn't get 523 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: passed in the last game. I'm struggling to get passed here. 524 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 3: Ravens have been number three on success rate the last 525 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 3: six weeks defend by EPA, So I know that the 526 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 3: Ravens pass defense has been beatable, but they're top six 527 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 3: in a run defense and that's the matchup that matters. 528 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 3: Morgan's Cleveland here. The Browns are bottom five EPA the 529 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 3: last six and the Browns can't get off the field 530 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 3: on third down, can't get off the field in the 531 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 3: red zone, and that's where a dominant run team like 532 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 3: the Ravens could really hurt them. So I'm really torn 533 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 3: on this game because it's a huge spot for Cleveland. Like, 534 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: if you can't win this game off of bye a 535 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 3: week in the schedule spot against your rival, kind of 536 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: with the season on the line, I think you really 537 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 3: have to question your identity, Like the core of this team, 538 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 3: what are we doing here? Is Baker the guy going forward? 539 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 3: Despite all that, I still have a hard time getting 540 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 3: to the Brown side. I think I'm on the Ravens 541 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: side here. 542 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: The latest offense is struggling. I don't know how you 543 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: can bet the Ravens at this point. Before last week 544 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: they were six and winning one score games. Like I 545 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: think we're talking about a team that could possibly miss 546 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: the playoff if that continues to regrets because they're getting 547 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: boy on smoking mirrors. I gotta play a Browns and this. 548 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: I think this is the probably the best situational spot 549 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: you'll ever find in football. 550 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 3: As we wrap this up, if the Browns are the 551 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 3: play here and if the Browns win this game, that 552 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 3: division really goes up in the air then, because right 553 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 3: now Baltimore is at eight and four, Cleveland's at six 554 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: and six. Since Santy Pittsburgh are stuck in the middle, 555 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 3: if Cleveland wins this game, then they're just all smashed 556 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 3: together right in the middle there. So right now, Ravens 557 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 3: are minus one forty five to win the division. The 558 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 3: Bengals are plus two fifty Cleveland plus five to fifty 559 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh plus fourteen hundred. If you think Cleveland is 560 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 3: winning here, is there a division angle you like in 561 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 3: the AFC North. 562 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Here, there's not a divisional angle. I personally like at 563 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: this point, I think all of these teams are pretty 564 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: much equally matched. 565 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 3: I say a lot of crazy things, you know this. 566 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say something that sounds crazy even in my 567 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 3: head as it's coming out. I think, with five weeks 568 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 3: left in the season in this division, Joe Burrow's got 569 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 3: that bad finger, Baker Mayfield has been terrible all year, 570 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is struggling. Ben Roethlisberger might be the most 571 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 3: reliable quarterback in this division down the stretch here, as 572 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: wild as that seems, and I think it could put 573 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh into play plus fourteen hundred. 574 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: It's long odds. 575 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 3: So the Steelers are at six point five wins, they 576 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 3: had that tie, and the tie could come into play. 577 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 3: I think you need to get to for Pittsburgh's sake 578 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 3: ten and a half wins. They need that tie plus 579 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: ten wins. It's gonna be a tough road, but the 580 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 3: last game of the season it's Pittsburgh at Baltimore, So 581 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: it could come down to that last game, especially if 582 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 3: Baltimore loses here. And by the time that you guys 583 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: listen to this, Pittsburgh will already have a result Thursday night. 584 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 3: They probably need to win in Minnesota for this to 585 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 3: be a conversation if they get that one. The Steelers 586 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: have winnable games coming up. The Ravens still play the Packers, 587 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 3: the Browns still play the Packers. Cincinnati still plays Baltimore. 588 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 3: The Chiefs they got the Niners this week. Like we 589 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 3: talked about, really tough scalt for everyone. I don't mind 590 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 3: the fourteen hundred for Pittsburgh if you just want to 591 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 3: take kind of a longer shot here am I now 592 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: Larry Holmes's status for saying that Big Ben might be 593 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 3: the best quarterback in this division. 594 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: Nah, you're not Larry Holmes. Status's pretty clear he's not 595 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in his division. But you said he's 596 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: the most reliable, and that might be the case. I 597 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: think the thing with Ben Roethlisbergers he doesn't have a 598 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: running game. That was the most shocking thing about watching 599 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: the second half of that Ravens game last week is 600 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: that they were actually able to dominate and push that 601 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: defensive line around. Najie Harris was able to do some things. 602 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: And if they could do that, then I think the 603 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: Steelers have the receivers and they had the defense to 604 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: be able to close out this division. I mean, we 605 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: all know we heard the rumors that this could Ben 606 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: Roethlisbergers last season, so I think they go all out 607 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: for him. 608 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. 609 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: I'm really torn here, you know, with the schedule thing, 610 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 3: I think that that really is a huge factor. But 611 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: I really do like this matchup for Baltimore. It's part 612 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 3: of why I was a little bit but part of 613 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 3: why I couldn't go all in on Cleveland even back 614 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 3: of the start of the season, because I really like 615 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: this matchup here. At the end of the day, I 616 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 3: come back to two trends, and this is why I'm 617 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: on Baltimore here. Number one, Keem Stefanski is one in 618 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 3: eight against the spread in the Division, with the Browns 619 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 3: only one cover ever indivisional games. 620 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: You know what that one cover was. 621 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 3: There's the blowout against Cincinnati. So here's the other trend 622 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 3: that I have to go with. We know that this 623 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: is billed as this huge historic rivalry. Last twenty seven 624 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: Ravens Browns games, twenty three wins by Baltimore, twenty three 625 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 3: out of twenty seven won by Baltimore, and twenty one 626 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 3: of those are by more than a field goal. So 627 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 3: the Ravens just own this team and it hasn't been close. 628 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 3: I don't trust the Browns. I don't trust Defanski in 629 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 3: the division games. I don't trust the Browns against the Ravens, 630 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 3: and I can't trust them as a favorite here when 631 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 3: we've seen road teams be so good this year in 632 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 3: close games. So all of that compels me to have 633 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 3: to take the Ravens here. I get it all right, 634 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at our week fifteen look ahead 635 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 3: and get out of here. So look ahead to next weekend, 636 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 3: as I say, look ahead to next Sunday. But I 637 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 3: think that you're on a Saturday again next week, So. 638 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 2: What do you think. 639 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: I'm on the Coats plus one. I'm probably not gonna 640 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: put this in now, just because I would like to 641 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: see how this market shapes up. I want to see 642 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: if we're going to get a little bit more Patriots 643 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: money in the market. But I really like the Coats 644 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: in this spot. I think they win this game out right. 645 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are being overvied at this point. 646 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: They probably should have lost money. Nice game against the Bills. 647 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: I just think this is a really good spot for 648 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: the Colts. I think they can do some things against 649 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: this Patriots team and call some problems on defense and offense. 650 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: They could run the ball, they could pass the ball 651 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: long car Carson doesn't turn the ball over. I think 652 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: they win this game out right. So I'm looking at 653 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: the Colts. 654 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that one a lot. 655 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 3: When you mentioned that, Yeah, this is the spot where 656 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: it's finally time to fade the Patriots a little bit. 657 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 3: We've been looking for that spot, and this is a 658 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 3: good game for it, just because of that awesome run game, 659 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 3: and that's the way to beat you know, in New England, 660 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 3: not with Josh Allen passing it all over them, but 661 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: with that run game featuring so I like that spot 662 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 3: for Indy. 663 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 2: I've been debating for my pick. 664 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 3: I thought about going with the Eagles at home against Washington, 665 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: similar logical what we said earlier. I just think Washington 666 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 3: is not as good as they've looked and maybe could 667 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: get a little bit exposed this weekend if they don't, though, 668 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: this line maybe doesn't move. 669 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: It's at two and a half to Philly. I like 670 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: that one. 671 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 3: Instead, I'm gonna go with Denver at home, laying three 672 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 3: as the underdog to the Cincinnati Bengals. And it's kind 673 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 3: of back to what we said about the Bengals. I 674 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: just think that Cincinnati is not as good as people 675 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: think they are right now. I don't think the Bengals 676 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 3: are necessarily a playoff team. And if Cincinnati gets dominated 677 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 3: by the Niners like we expect that they might, Denver 678 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 3: is playing the Lions. Denver should probably get a pretty 679 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 3: comfortable looking win. It's a home game in Denver, where 680 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 3: it's all as a tough home field advantage. Teddy has 681 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 3: been Teddy covers he likes to get these games. 682 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: I think this is a. 683 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 3: Pretty even matchup, and I'm not sure the Browns aren't 684 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 3: a slightly better team here. Kind of a playoff feel 685 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 3: to this game, to where home field really should matter 686 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 3: in December in Denver, and I like the Broncos here, 687 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna grab it at plus three because I 688 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: don't know if that spot is going to be around 689 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: after we get to Sunday, and I want to get 690 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 3: that key number and get the underdog spot. 691 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not mad at that at all. Looking forward 692 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: to this weekend and next week, so make sure you 693 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: get your bets in early. 694 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: All right, Well, we did four games for you. We 695 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 3: are together on the Niners and the Cowboys. A little 696 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: nineties throwback energy on Niners Cowboys, so bet those teams. 697 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 3: And then we are head to head on the Ravens 698 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 3: Browns game and on the big one, the Bucks Bills game. 699 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 3: So we'll see Sunday how those play out. I have 700 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 3: a feeling these might be the games we come back 701 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 3: to Sunday night when we record for you guys on Monday. 702 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 3: That's gonna wrap it up today at the Action Ork 703 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 3: Podcast for a strong Side Friday.
