Speaker 1: Good morning Gil. We guest lines. That's what we do
Speaker 1: on Monday mornings here on the show, we guess lines
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Will do it for week thirteen.
Speaker 1: Now I say this every week, but good lord, we
Speaker 1: are through the buys. We only have five weeks left
Speaker 1: of the NFL season. Everybody's played eleven games down of course,
Speaker 1: to help us along, and the exercise here, the point
Speaker 1: of the exercise is tied to extract some value in
Speaker 1: the upcoming weeks NFL lines. We bring in the South
Speaker 1: Point Hotel Casino, sports book director, Ladies and gentlemen, My
Speaker 1: chrisy Andrews. Good morning, Chris, what's going on? How you
Speaker 1: doing man? How was your weekend? How was the bookmaker's weekend? Well?
Speaker 1: It was it was good, not great, but it was
Speaker 1: it was good. You know, no complaints on our end.
Speaker 1: The handle was fantastic. Yesterday we just kind of held
Speaker 1: our percentage and I was going through the games, so
Speaker 1: we didn't have any really big winds. We didn't have
Speaker 1: any really big losses. Just one of those kind of days,
Speaker 1: just kind of grinded it out, um, you know. But
Speaker 1: that's okay. That's that's kind of a bookmaker's life. That's
Speaker 1: that's fine. And yeah, I'd say all and all was
Speaker 1: pretty decent. I sort of expected that answer. By the way,
Speaker 1: let me let me tell people this, our old friend
Speaker 1: James Salinas is up to his old tricks again. Let
Speaker 1: me uh let me for folks who uh don't know
Speaker 1: James Salinas, who has been a Numbers game and Visa
Speaker 1: guest for that matter, for since our inception. James Selinas
Speaker 1: won the Westgate Super Contest in he finished in third
Speaker 1: place in ten and I believe he finished in twenty
Speaker 1: sixth place last year. He also won the first ever
Speaker 1: Visa March Madness Contest. He's just a contest uh, just expert. Well,
Speaker 1: he's up to his old tricks. The circum million third
Speaker 1: quarter comes down to tonight's game, and yes, James Salinas
Speaker 1: is in play, of course tonight's game. It's amazing Tonight's
Speaker 1: game between the Ravens and the Rams. It's three and
Speaker 1: a half in the contest, it's three and a half
Speaker 1: everywhere right now. By the way, um he needs the uh,
Speaker 1: he's got the Rams in this at plus three and
Speaker 1: a half. So he is tied with somebody for the
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty three thousand dollar quarterly prize in
Speaker 1: the Circus Sports Million that Derek Stevens and Mike Palm
Speaker 1: so ably run. Um, there is someone who is a
Speaker 1: half game back with the Ravens. So if the Ravens
Speaker 1: cover the three and a half, Selenas will not lose.
Speaker 1: But if the if the Rams get there, he will
Speaker 1: chop it into and he will be uh seventy plus
Speaker 1: thousand dollars richer. And of course he has the opportunity
Speaker 1: with the standalone game too, as does everybody who's in it,
Speaker 1: to sort of lock in a profit. So how about
Speaker 1: that Chris James Salinas. Once again, we hope to get
Speaker 1: him on the show tomorrow. I'll tell you what, that
Speaker 1: guy has one good handicapper. I mean he's been doing
Speaker 1: it for years. And uh, if he gives you a game,
Speaker 1: I would pay attention, is all I have to tell.
Speaker 1: He's very, very good the Rams tonight. He's on he's
Speaker 1: on the Rams tonight plus three and a half. Yeah
Speaker 1: and he and he was yeah, he was four and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, let's make note of that, right, he's four
Speaker 1: and oh this weekend, I just want to let people
Speaker 1: know the picks that he had this weekend were and
Speaker 1: I want to get this right. Uh, look at it
Speaker 1: real quick. He went contrarian on these, but he went
Speaker 1: he went four and oh he had let's see here
Speaker 1: the half. I'll have to I'll have to see who
Speaker 1: he had here because I cannot remember off him. But
Speaker 1: it was a contrarian deal where he had the redskins,
Speaker 1: for instance, among his picks, I know he had the giants. Um,
Speaker 1: so those were two of his four picks that he
Speaker 1: had redskins and and giants, redskins being probably the most
Speaker 1: contrarian of the bunch. And that got over where it
Speaker 1: is redskins, giants, panthers, and bills to go four and
Speaker 1: oh yesterday with with the ramps pending tonight, that dude
Speaker 1: is something. So by the way, his for those are
Speaker 1: wondering what is entry name is el Kabong Do you
Speaker 1: know what? That's a reference to Chris Elkabung el Cabo.
Speaker 1: That's there's a cartoon from that exactly right quick, let
Speaker 1: me I be not prepare that with Chrissy. That's how
Speaker 1: good Chris Andrews is exactly what it is, quick Drawma
Speaker 1: Graws alias good for you, excellent Hannah Barbara knowledge on
Speaker 1: your park Chris. So, that's what my god, I can't
Speaker 1: believe I pulled that one out. It's amazing, said I
Speaker 1: envisioned in my mind. Yeah. I think his son really
Speaker 1: loves it. So that's what he went with. All right,
Speaker 1: So let's see if we could get some lines here
Speaker 1: in week thirteen, try to extract some value. Let's begin
Speaker 1: with Thursday night, Chris Well. By the way, my my
Speaker 1: Twitter picture, my Twitter avatar is Mr Peabody. So I'm
Speaker 1: a great uh sies cartoons? What am I talking to? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Come on, wake up? Oh it's Thanksgiving. There's it's not
Speaker 1: a thursdayay night, it's a it's a triple header on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's Thanksgiving Thursday morning. Yeah, Thursday morning, yil
Speaker 1: So anyway, okay, Chicago at Detroit. Well, let's let's go
Speaker 1: through this one quickly. Chicago yesterday, they spot the Giants
Speaker 1: a touchdown, they end up holding onto a nineteen fourteen win. Uh.
Speaker 1: That extra point meant a lot to some That final
Speaker 1: extra point b the Giants, that's for sure. Mr Bisky
Speaker 1: one for seventy eight, one touchdown, two picks. He was
Speaker 1: sacked two times. Allen Robinson continues to be his big
Speaker 1: target six for one, one in a touchdown Khalil Mack
Speaker 1: with just his second sack in seven games, but that
Speaker 1: one set up a touchdown because it was a strip sack.
Speaker 1: Bears a score touchdowns on their first drives of the
Speaker 1: second half now in five straight games. File that one
Speaker 1: away in game Betters. The Bears have scored a touchdown
Speaker 1: on their first drive of the second half in five
Speaker 1: straight games now. And the Detroit Lions without Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 1: and by the way, Matthew Stafford will not be available
Speaker 1: for this game on Thanksgiving either. There is some talk
Speaker 1: that they will shut Matthew Stafford down, although Stafford says
Speaker 1: he would like to come back and play this year,
Speaker 1: but he will not plan this game. On Thursday, they
Speaker 1: go into d C and somehow that Dwayne Haskins Jr.
Speaker 1: And the Redskins beat them nineteen to sixteen. Although someone
Speaker 1: tell Dwayne Haskins Junior because he's busy taking selfies while
Speaker 1: the team is still in victory formation. Joe Fisman lost
Speaker 1: his mind. Jeff Driscoll and the Lions they lose their
Speaker 1: fourth and row third since Stafford went out with an injury.
Speaker 1: He was twenty of thirty three, one touchdown, three picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked six times by the Skins, both Scarborough
Speaker 1: though both Scarborough, sighting eighteen carries for ninety eight yards.
Speaker 1: Four turnovers for the Lions. That's what did the men
Speaker 1: minus two on turnovers at the Skin. So with no stafford,
Speaker 1: I just simply made this a pick them. Am I
Speaker 1: being lazy with that? Uh? No, not really, although I
Speaker 1: do see the Bears is a one point favorite. I see,
Speaker 1: I see a pick in a couple of spots, um,
Speaker 1: but I also see as high as one and a
Speaker 1: half and some decent spots as well. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with one. Jeezus, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that you look at. Jeff
Speaker 1: Driskwall was a road favorite last night, you know, and
Speaker 1: I know it was the Redskins, and uh they didn't
Speaker 1: play particularly well the Redskins, but you know, Jeff drisk
Speaker 1: will road favorite. They come on. I don't know like that. Um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: to talk about the Bears game for just the second gals,
Speaker 1: looking through five games, Matt the point spread matter, which
Speaker 1: is uh way more than usual this weekend, So five games, um, anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm just getting off on a little bit of a tangent.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open the Bears one. I think that's okay.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bears weren't any great shakes by any means,
Speaker 1: but you know they're gonna be a road favorite here,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. That's a tough one. Let
Speaker 1: me just climb an open one. Let me clarify what
Speaker 1: Chrissy just said there. He said five games yesterday the
Speaker 1: points spread mat nerd. What he means by that is
Speaker 1: eighty three per cent of the time historically in the
Speaker 1: NFL regular season of the time, the point spread does
Speaker 1: not matter. What that means is is that the favorite
Speaker 1: covers or the underdog wins outright eight three percent of
Speaker 1: the time. So if you could just pick a winner,
Speaker 1: the point spread doesn't matter. But there were a grand
Speaker 1: total of five games yesterday were the favorite one but
Speaker 1: did not cover. That's what Chris is referring to. Uh,
Speaker 1: and that was going back to Thursday, correct, going back
Speaker 1: to Thursday, So four yesterday, and that was one of them,
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Giants according to the closing line
Speaker 1: based on that last extra point. All right, so what
Speaker 1: are you putting up on that again? I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: the Bears one. I think that's okay. That's a tough game,
Speaker 1: you know, but the public wants to take us all right,
Speaker 1: Let's see we can get through all three Thanksgiving games.
Speaker 1: What's next? Okay, Buffalo at Dallas. Detroit is always the
Speaker 1: traditional first Thanksgiving am Dallas is always the second one,
Speaker 1: and then in recent times they've had a third Buffalo
Speaker 1: at Dallas. Pretty good game, Buffaloes eight and three now
Speaker 1: after they beat Denver twenty to three. We'll get into
Speaker 1: the Broncos later. Um, Dallas loses to the Patriots in
Speaker 1: very in clement weather in Foxborough, a lot of precipitation
Speaker 1: high wins. They lose that thirteen to nine. But that's
Speaker 1: one of those games that we were just referring to.
Speaker 1: Were the favorite one, but did not cover. Buffalo best
Speaker 1: record now eight and three through eleven games since Nix,
Speaker 1: trying to make the playoffs for the second time in
Speaker 1: three years now. Josh Allen fifteen two touchdowns, one pick,
Speaker 1: he was sacked once, Devin Singletary becoming their their guy,
Speaker 1: twenty one carries for a hundred six yards, and Frank Gore,
Speaker 1: by the way, this has nothing to do with betting,
Speaker 1: but Frank Gore passes Barry Sanders Chris for the third
Speaker 1: most rushing yards in NFL history, passing Marshall folk Um
Speaker 1: for fourth all time yards from scrimmage. By the way,
Speaker 1: so it's on the rushing list, it's Emmett Smith, Walter Payton, inc. Gore. Wow,
Speaker 1: when did that happen? It's incredible on two bum knees
Speaker 1: by two surgically repaired knees um, the Bills end up
Speaker 1: with two hundred forty four total yards rushing in this
Speaker 1: game yesterday against the Broncos. They were eight of sixteen
Speaker 1: on third down. They did have twelve penalties for ninety yards,
Speaker 1: but they limited the Broncos to one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: four yards and a grand total of nine first downs
Speaker 1: while forcing eight punts. So how much of that is
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense? How much of that is the Broncos offense?
Speaker 1: You decide. Dallas in their loss of the Patriots, Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott once he got his proper handwear, if you will,
Speaker 1: nineteen of thirty three for two twelve no touchdowns. One
Speaker 1: pick was not sacked. But the Cowboys were two of
Speaker 1: thirteen on third downs against the Pats. A Marii Cooper
Speaker 1: held without a catch for the first time in his
Speaker 1: Cowboys career. Patriots held the Cowboys without a touchdown for
Speaker 1: the first time this season. Uh. They basically did what
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick does. They took away two of Prescott's favorite targets,
Speaker 1: Cooper and Jason Winton. They stacked the box on first
Speaker 1: and second out against Zeke and Jerry Jones after the
Speaker 1: game because there was huge special teams plays yesterday. Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones quote, special teams is coaching taking a shot at
Speaker 1: the clapper and his uh and his staff with that
Speaker 1: one because they allowed to block punt, they missed a
Speaker 1: field goal, they beat twenty yards of field position with
Speaker 1: the penalty on another punt to the bad special teams
Speaker 1: day for the U Cowboys, and that might have been
Speaker 1: the difference. So it's at Dallas. It's Thanksgiving. I tend
Speaker 1: to believe a lot of that Buffalo performance yesterday was
Speaker 1: the Broncos and ft offense. So I'll say Dallas minus
Speaker 1: six and a half. Well, I like your number better,
Speaker 1: but it's seven and it's a pretty solid seven. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, we do everything in eleven at ten here
Speaker 1: at the at the South Point. So I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: seven because I don't want to, you know, play that
Speaker 1: little game and have uh six and have seven. You
Speaker 1: know that I have to fade all all week. But
Speaker 1: I do like your number better. It's seven. That is
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna open it. I have to tell you,
Speaker 1: I'm very impressive Buffalo. On last week's show, I gave
Speaker 1: about two games that I like that. Um, I like
Speaker 1: Buffalo being one green Baby in the oven. One was
Speaker 1: hugely wrong on the one that was hugely right on
Speaker 1: this one. Buffalo's defense is really really good and Brandon
Speaker 1: Allen is getting better. Uh wait, that's the wrong app
Speaker 1: to keep forgetting Allen get better? Four Alan, I can't
Speaker 1: believe it anyway. I think that they will keep this
Speaker 1: game pretty darn close. And uh, you know Mark Cooper's
Speaker 1: Zuo catches. Yeah, I guarantee somebody on Buffalo is gonna
Speaker 1: be looking at those films and figuring out how they
Speaker 1: do that. Um, but I think the six and a
Speaker 1: half is better than the seven. But I am an
Speaker 1: open seven, and I'm keeping an eye on this one.
Speaker 1: If I see that drop lower, I am going to
Speaker 1: drop lower and see see what happens. Because I think
Speaker 1: Buffalo a very live dogs. In this game, you will
Speaker 1: drop it lower with the quickness. I understand, but seven
Speaker 1: I will, I will. What's the sevens where I'm gonna?
Speaker 1: But but I like the dog. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: What's the third of the Thanksgiving games? New Orleans in Atlanta?
Speaker 1: And they played last year on this Uh? Is this
Speaker 1: going to be the new tradition New Orleans and Atlanta
Speaker 1: every Thanksgiving? I don't know it's played last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and New Orleans just played Atlanta the week before, like
Speaker 1: didn't they played? They played? Yeah, so this will be
Speaker 1: two games against each other in a three week span,
Speaker 1: actually fourteen calend fifteen calendar days, but uh, three week
Speaker 1: NFL span. New Orleans yesterday, I don't know how they
Speaker 1: beat Carolina, but they did Will Lut's thirty three yard
Speaker 1: field goal as time expired. By the way, that one
Speaker 1: just snuck through as well. SATs beat the Panthers thirty
Speaker 1: four to thirty one. Another one of those games that
Speaker 1: Chrissy was referring to were the favorite one but did
Speaker 1: not cover. They were ten point favorites. Uh, that Will
Speaker 1: LUTs field goal. And by the way, now if you
Speaker 1: look at the standings, the New Orleans Saints have a
Speaker 1: four game lead in the NFC South with five games left,
Speaker 1: so Katie Barr the door on that. But that will
Speaker 1: Let's field goal came after New Orleans went from its
Speaker 1: own fourteen yard line with one fifty one left to
Speaker 1: the Carolina fifteen with three seconds were made in set
Speaker 1: up the winning Kip kick. Rather, that was the end
Speaker 1: of a contest that basically was a roller coaster at
Speaker 1: the end. Late momentum shifts, big errors, none bigger than
Speaker 1: Carolina's kicker Joey Sly missing a twenty eight yard or
Speaker 1: twenty eight yard or just completely choked with two minutes left.
Speaker 1: By the way, he also, or I should say, he
Speaker 1: also missed two extra points earlier in the game. Um,
Speaker 1: the Saints, by the way, missed a missed two point
Speaker 1: conversion over the Saints. You have there the Panthers rather
Speaker 1: missed two point conversion earlier. There's all kinds of things
Speaker 1: that that should have gone Carolina's way that didn't. But
Speaker 1: that Sli miss came after the Panthers Eric Reid stuffed
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara on a run to the right side fourth
Speaker 1: and one from the New Orleans forty five. That set
Speaker 1: up a sequence in which Carolina coach Ron Rivera successfully
Speaker 1: challenged an officials decision not to call pass interference on
Speaker 1: a third town incomplete bass irony of ironies that this
Speaker 1: happened to the Saints. Uh, that's set up a first
Speaker 1: first and goal at the three with two twenty one left.
Speaker 1: Of course, Lie then misses the field goal. Panthers couldn't
Speaker 1: convert and so that's why they had to attempt the
Speaker 1: field goal. UM Panthers attempted to pass for a two
Speaker 1: point conversion, by the way, after their second touchdown, As
Speaker 1: I mentioned, it was broken up. Drew Brees thirty of
Speaker 1: thirty nine three eleven, three touchdowns, one pick. He was
Speaker 1: sacked twice. Sean Payton actually got mad at him once
Speaker 1: on the sideline. In this game. Michael Thomas continues to
Speaker 1: be his man. Ten catches a hundred one yards a touchdown,
Speaker 1: Jared Cook six touchdown, But the Saints were penalized heavily
Speaker 1: twelve for one twenty three in the penalty department, and
Speaker 1: then Atlanta real quickly. Uh. They lose to Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: thirty five to twenty two. I guess the Falcons are
Speaker 1: who we thought they were after a two week surge
Speaker 1: there one in four straight up in Mercedes ben Stadium.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan twenty three or forty six for two seventy one,
Speaker 1: but he was sacked six times. It was his lowest
Speaker 1: rated game of this season, despite the fact that Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley caught six passes for eighty five yards in the touchdown.
Speaker 1: So this is a revenge game, real quick for the
Speaker 1: Saints again, huge lead in the South. But the Falcons,
Speaker 1: if we recall two weeks ago in the NFL eight
Speaker 1: days ago, went in there and just destroyed them at
Speaker 1: New Orleans. I'll say it's New Orleans minus six on
Speaker 1: the road. Here, Well, I see six and a half
Speaker 1: and seven. Um, probably a little more six and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open this one seven deal. Uh. You talked
Speaker 1: about the revenge factor. I think the revenge factor will
Speaker 1: be very much in New Orleans favor this week. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, they did get really thoroughly embarrassed by this
Speaker 1: Atlanta team. Atlanta got their come up and s yesterday.
Speaker 1: Like you said, I think they are who we thought
Speaker 1: they were. They had been playing really, really well for
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, but I think they got exposed
Speaker 1: yesterday Ordinarily, you know, game like this, i'd probably favored
Speaker 1: the dog, but I don't favor the dog in this spot.
Speaker 1: They'll probably take the seven off me. So if you're
Speaker 1: out there and radio land listening, line up quick because
Speaker 1: we're gonna open at seven, they'll probably take it off
Speaker 1: me fairly quickly. But but I'm gonna take of that
Speaker 1: on New Orleans. I think New Orleans probably the right
Speaker 1: side here, and I'm not sure I'm gonna mark that
Speaker 1: as one of the games I like, but I do
Speaker 1: kind of like them. I think New Orleans stumbled to
Speaker 1: the game yesterday. They have the focus of being embarrassed
Speaker 1: by Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. In a short
Speaker 1: week like this, I ordinarily liked the better coaching staff.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably one of the better coaching staffs
Speaker 1: in the league. With New Orleans, I'm not so sure
Speaker 1: about Atlanta. So I think I favor the Saints in
Speaker 1: this one. How do you feel about the p I reversal? Jeff?
Speaker 1: Did you like it? I thought that it was p I,
Speaker 1: but I haven't. We haven't seen that overturned all a year, basically,
Speaker 1: so it was it was odd to see river On
Speaker 1: actually get that one correct. Granted, it was another another
Speaker 1: fantastic day of just ridiculously terrible and NFL officiating across
Speaker 1: the board. I agree with you, though, I think it
Speaker 1: was the right thing to do. But the fact is
Speaker 1: we don't have precedents right around the league where they've
Speaker 1: been doing that. They've been reversing, although now it seems
Speaker 1: like they're reversing some of these that perhaps a bit
Speaker 1: of a higher rate than they have been. Nonetheless, though
Speaker 1: some Saints fans and money liners will say justice was
Speaker 1: served when Slide missed the twenty eight yard and Lutz
Speaker 1: was able to speak in a thirty three yard. We
Speaker 1: will go to Sunday and we'll get some lines for
Speaker 1: week thirteen. We'll move on. Chris Andrews, the South Point

Speaker 1: you think when Brent goes back in his career and
Speaker 1: he's like, I did all these sports, I did the
Speaker 1: US Open, I did college football approval, do you think
Speaker 1: he do you think he adds the man escape stuff
Speaker 1: to that list? Now? Do you think it's part of them?
Speaker 1: I want to send a shout out. We get tweets,
Speaker 1: of course that beating in the book Shy City. Brian
Speaker 1: sent this in a little Frank Gore didn't want to
Speaker 1: let the Frank Gore thing just linger there or just
Speaker 1: sort of fall. One of my favorite Gore stats. He
Speaker 1: he tweets this out. This is not Brian talking about
Speaker 1: something that he tweeted out. Frank Gore leading the twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen Bills in rushing yards, which would be the fifteenth
Speaker 1: time in his fifteen year career that he's been his
Speaker 1: team's leading rusher. Nobody has done that, not even Emmett Smith.
Speaker 1: So another thing for the Frank Gore Hall of Fame resume.
Speaker 1: You think hall of fame resume you think he's a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Jeff, I mean he to me, he's
Speaker 1: the perfect definition of Hall of very good. But here's
Speaker 1: the problem when you're the third. I know, in baseball
Speaker 1: we have the the accumulators who make their way into
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. That's right, the counting stats. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but Gore, I mean, look longevity for a position
Speaker 1: that doesn't have longevity these days. Either. Either, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you're gonna And also, you know, you know absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know also that that he's beloved by the folks
Speaker 1: that cover the game as well, so he's gonna get
Speaker 1: in because of that as well. He's all these great stats,
Speaker 1: he's all so very passionate apparently about his Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame status as well. He'll give you his resume, so
Speaker 1: I think, I think, absolutely, Okay, he'll get in. It
Speaker 1: may not be first ball, but he'll get in. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: We're bringing Chris Andrews back from the South Point Hotel
Speaker 1: Casino Sports Book. Chrissie, shall we continue with Sunday games? Sir?
Speaker 1: Before we continue, I could see money showing on Buffalo
Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere, So I will open this game six
Speaker 1: and a half. I do see a six and a
Speaker 1: half out there, but a lot of seven, uh, you know, guys,
Speaker 1: eight moving off numbers, there's a lot of seven with
Speaker 1: juice on the dog. But I'm gonna open six and
Speaker 1: a half. I guess we do everything of eleven and
Speaker 1: time here at the South Point. It's come to me,
Speaker 1: all open six and a half the yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'll say I take the six and a half before
Speaker 1: I'd lay it. Yeah, well six and a half. That's
Speaker 1: what I figured it would be six and a half.
Speaker 1: It is now twenty minutes into the show. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go Sunday, Sunday morning, Green Bay at the New
Speaker 1: York Giants. You know, I had more difficulty, I was
Speaker 1: telling Parlay before the show. I had more difficulty coming
Speaker 1: up with this line than anything because Green Bay last
Speaker 1: night got smoked by the Niners thirties seven to eight.
Speaker 1: My goodness, did they? Uh as three point dogs? By
Speaker 1: the way, green Bay smoked thirty seven eight Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: twenty of thirty three for one oh four. Let me
Speaker 1: repeat that, Aaron Rodgers twenty of thirty three for one
Speaker 1: hundred and four yards, passing one touchdown note picks. He
Speaker 1: was sacked five times, one point seven yards per pass
Speaker 1: play when he was in the game, The Packers were
Speaker 1: one of fifteen on third downs. The Packers with a
Speaker 1: grand total of one hundred and ninety eight total yards.
Speaker 1: They got into an early hole when Fred Warner sacked
Speaker 1: Rodgers on the opening drive, forced to fumble that Nick
Speaker 1: Bosa recovered at the two forty, Niners broke it open.
Speaker 1: Then late in the first half, after forcing the Packers
Speaker 1: to punt following the two minute warning, Garoppolo throws a
Speaker 1: forty two yards of Deebo Samuel a cap of three
Speaker 1: play drive made it twenty to nothing, and then, as
Speaker 1: if that wasn't enough before the half, the Niners then
Speaker 1: fourced to three and out took over at their own
Speaker 1: forty eight. With twenty four seconds left, Garoppolo completes the
Speaker 1: twenty two yard to Kittle Chase McLauchlin forty eight yard
Speaker 1: field goal twenty three to nothing at halftime, Katie bar
Speaker 1: the door. And then there's the Giants, who, as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: lost to the Bears nineteen to fourteen. Although they did
Speaker 1: cover for most uh, they dropped their seventh straight clinched
Speaker 1: their third losing season in row. Danny Dimes twenty one
Speaker 1: of thirty six for one fifty two touchdowns, no picks,
Speaker 1: Uh sacked once. The Giants were one of twelve on
Speaker 1: third downs, they were two or four and fourth downs.
Speaker 1: They only had two forty three total yards against the Bears.
Speaker 1: Sae kwon Barkley. By the way, fifty nine yards rushing
Speaker 1: is this is a thing, Jeff, fifty nine yards rushing.
Speaker 1: For sake, kwon UH seventy two, sixty four, twenty eight
Speaker 1: and one in his previous first four games back from
Speaker 1: the high right ankle sprain, So I guess we can
Speaker 1: still chalk this up to the injury. But let me
Speaker 1: just repeat that for sake, kwon last five games seven
Speaker 1: two one and yesterday fifty nine yards. Aldre Rose's missed
Speaker 1: two field goals, New York falling to seven and twenty
Speaker 1: now straight up underhead coach Pat Shermer, seven and twenty.
Speaker 1: So because the Packers got smoked last night, Christmas was
Speaker 1: hard for me to come up with. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: act like I'm gonna kind of act like that didn't
Speaker 1: happen because it's the Giants. So I'll still say Green
Speaker 1: Bay by a touchdown on the road seven seven, you're
Speaker 1: a little high. It's six and a half. But this
Speaker 1: is a tough one for me to gil because I
Speaker 1: like green Bay going into the game yesterday along the
Speaker 1: Law of the Public was on green Bay. The Sharp
Speaker 1: guys were on San Francisco. Um, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think the Niners were actually all that great. I think,
Speaker 1: really green they was just terrible. Um. You know the
Speaker 1: one thing about Barkley, they just don't have many weapons
Speaker 1: on the Giants. I think you could really, you know,
Speaker 1: focus your defense on Barkley and take away almost every
Speaker 1: the Giants want to do. Uh, boy, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Like I said, this is a top one. I'm anna
Speaker 1: open six and now I think that's okay. But I'm
Speaker 1: not a strong opinion on this game whatsoever. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: can Rogers be as bad as he look Estra, I
Speaker 1: don't think he can, to be honest with you, But
Speaker 1: we'll see if I mean, it's a very weak defense
Speaker 1: that he's playing this week, and I think he'll be
Speaker 1: I think I think he'll rebound. Um because he really
Speaker 1: has been he has been kind of inconsistent this year.
Speaker 1: But this is the kind of defense he could get
Speaker 1: healthy with. And I think you will this week. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you this because you you just brought it
Speaker 1: up with San Francisco. Obviously Green Bay looked terrible, and
Speaker 1: you you mentioned you said, I don't think San Francisco
Speaker 1: even looked all that great in victory after New England's win,
Speaker 1: and I get it was in clement weather, but they
Speaker 1: just get by the Cowboys. Isn't the headline in the
Speaker 1: NFL that every single team is incredibly flawed and that
Speaker 1: there is just no super team at all, not even close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you look at New England. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: their defense is terrific. But I said it last week
Speaker 1: on the show. I really haven't been tested all that greatly.
Speaker 1: They're deep, their schedule gets a lot tougher down the stretcher,
Speaker 1: but including last night's game. We thought that was yesterday again,
Speaker 1: we thought that was gonna be a bigger test the defense,
Speaker 1: and they passed with flying colors. Now the weather had
Speaker 1: something to do with it, but they completely took a
Speaker 1: Maori Cooper out of that game. Zinky All Elliott has
Speaker 1: had some decent numbers, not great the decent um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, to get back to your crushing, every
Speaker 1: team is just not great. This year, and I think
Speaker 1: I think the teams that are healthy and I think
Speaker 1: playing the best defense down the stretch are probably going
Speaker 1: to be the teams that that you know, make it,
Speaker 1: uh you know, I hate to say make it to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but let's say make a deep playoffs run.
Speaker 1: And I think that's I think that's gonna be the
Speaker 1: key down the stretch because the offense is you know,
Speaker 1: can least opt in a lot of ways, and you
Speaker 1: know on a lot of the top tapes and uh
Speaker 1: Green that they'd certainly be in one of them. I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to think about all these teams, and Jeff,
Speaker 1: you help me out if I'm forgetting anybody. New Orleans
Speaker 1: probably should have lost to Carolina yesterday, just thinking about
Speaker 1: the good teams. Seattle's nine and two, But you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks they're a super team there.
Speaker 1: They're a lot of them on the strength of one guy,
Speaker 1: perhaps on each side of the ball. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: Tonight's game, in many ways, as a referendum, is an
Speaker 1: interesting game, a referendum on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: One are the Rams going to make a run here
Speaker 1: in nineteen right the year after they get to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. They're six and four right now, there's no
Speaker 1: reason they can't get to the playoffs. But a game
Speaker 1: like tonight will really show us is this team any
Speaker 1: good or are they done? You know, it's a type
Speaker 1: of game tonight where it's really a full grum game
Speaker 1: for them. And then the question I was just asking you, Crizzy,
Speaker 1: the Ravens might be that team that could show us
Speaker 1: as early as tonight that oh we're over here, we're
Speaker 1: the team that's better than everybody. So that that tonight's
Speaker 1: games super fascinating to me. With the Ravens again three
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites in this one, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I know, tell the other team that kind of keep
Speaker 1: your eye on that. And I hate to say this
Speaker 1: because we're in a very vulnerable position with them, but
Speaker 1: keep your eye on Buffalo. I mean, they could shut
Speaker 1: you down defensively. I say Josh Allen that he's getting better.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to put him in the
Speaker 1: either in the in the top half of quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the NFL. But you know, they're a team that can
Speaker 1: win some games, and uh, you know, I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be dangerous down the stretch. And in the playoffs
Speaker 1: because that defense is just that good. I'm not buying yet,
Speaker 1: but I will give you full credit if that. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do one more are on Sunday. Oh you'll love
Speaker 1: this one. You're washing your Redskins against Carolina. You cannot
Speaker 1: eliminate the Washington Redskins, Ladies and gentlemen. Before Thanksgiving dot
Speaker 1: dot dot Before Thanksgiving, Redskins are two and nine. We
Speaker 1: talked about the beating the Lions. Dwayne Haskins again when
Speaker 1: the Redskins were in victory formation was taking selfies there,
Speaker 1: so we left to get that worked out. Carolina, as
Speaker 1: we mentioned, lose to the Saints, but probably should have
Speaker 1: won that football game for many reasons. Um Quentin Dunbar,
Speaker 1: by the way, for the Redskins picked off Jeff driscoll
Speaker 1: final minute Dustin Hopkins with the go ahead field goal
Speaker 1: from thirty nine yards out with sixteen seconds left. Skins
Speaker 1: won that nineteen to sixteen break a four game losing streak.
Speaker 1: Dwyne Haskins Jr. Thirteen of twenty nine for one fifty six,
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, one pick, three sacks. Terry McLaurin was his
Speaker 1: big target, bigg Ish five for seventy two Redskins only
Speaker 1: had two hundred thirty total yards. Let's not get crazy.
Speaker 1: They had eight penalties for sixty three yards. They still
Speaker 1: are the Redskins. Josh Norman, by the way, in uniform,
Speaker 1: but only saw the field on special teams. How about that,
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, he of the large five year deal in
Speaker 1: his fourth year, only sees the field on special teams.
Speaker 1: Carolina in defeat yesterday, Kyle Allen twenty three or thirty
Speaker 1: six for two fifty six, three touchdowns and not picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked four times, and Kristin McCaffrey just Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey twenty two of sixty four with a touchdown, nine
Speaker 1: catches for sixty nine yards with an additional touchdown, and
Speaker 1: d J. Moore finally got in the end zone a
Speaker 1: couple of times, six for one twenty six for two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I'll say Carolina by ten. Yeah, you're you're right on.
Speaker 1: It's can I see one ten and a half nice,
Speaker 1: but I think ten and ten it's a good number. Yeah. Really,
Speaker 1: the Redskins were awful yesterday, Terry more awful team. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so, let's not I'll tell you what CAROLINEA.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. They could have won that game. And
Speaker 1: whatever the kicker's name is, I'm sure he's looking for
Speaker 1: a job this morning. Yeah yeah, he really cost him
Speaker 1: that game yesterday. But yeah, I think tens a good
Speaker 1: number to start. Let's not get too crazy with Washington
Speaker 1: always dangerous laying double digits. But Haskin has taken the selfie.
Speaker 1: I mean, how perfect did that? That is? Right there?
Speaker 1: What a great way to put it. How perfect is that? It? Really?
Speaker 1: HiT's poetic? Is what it is. Joe, thisman who used
Speaker 1: to wear a number seven, and who actually granted Dwayne
Speaker 1: Askin's permission to wear seven because it was sort of
Speaker 1: this semi retired number in the franchise. He just elite
Speaker 1: is not happy with that yesterday. So Carolina, mine is taken,
Speaker 1: and that's what it is. That's what you're saying. Makes
Speaker 1: makes sense to me, sir, Okay, take a break. Let's
Speaker 1: do a couple more guessing lines Week thirteen in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, trying to extract some value. I don't
Speaker 1: know if we found that much yet. See if we
Speaker 1: can't coming up on a numbers game in visa, Welcome
Speaker 1: back to a numbers game. With Gil Alexander. Back in studio,
Speaker 1: Gil Alexander with Jeff Parlay produced number five and Patient
Speaker 1: X Loose in the corner. He denies it vehemently, but
Speaker 1: we're pitting this on everybody in studio. I did not,
Speaker 1: but everybody's studio got sick. Jeff was really sick. Missi
Speaker 1: and Paul were sick as well. On the on following
Speaker 1: Money before Us, the gentile version of the show, and uh,
Speaker 1: we're all we're blaming loss Loose was the guy A
Speaker 1: hundred percent all on Lost hundred said, even though he'll
Speaker 1: deny it till the till the days, that's right, see Los,
Speaker 1: He's okay now, So just don't let it happen again.
Speaker 1: Let's get some more lines. Week thirteen, Christie Andrews is here.
Speaker 1: What do we got next? There? By the way, that's
Speaker 1: why I do this show from home, exactly, that's great.
Speaker 1: My doctor would murder my wife would murder me. She's
Speaker 1: in the next room. I did that stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: know why she would know. She stands to do pretty
Speaker 1: good if I kicked the buckets. So anyway, well that
Speaker 1: took a turn. Jeez. Yeah, well that's my believe me.
Speaker 1: That's my darling, she's I know she's listening, so she'll
Speaker 1: hopefully laugh at that. We're on the aircraft, yes like um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Next up those San Francisco forty Niners in the Baltimore Ravens. Man, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a good game. Well San Francisco. Of course, as
Speaker 1: we mentioned, they beat the h they beat the Packers,
Speaker 1: not just beat him, beat him, beat him silly. Last
Speaker 1: night again thirty seven to eight taking on the Ravens,
Speaker 1: who we have not seen yet. Again. The Ravens take
Speaker 1: on the Rams at l A tonight, their three and
Speaker 1: a half point favorites on the road in that one.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo yesterday, Jimmy g just sort of to your point, Chris,
Speaker 1: about how great were the Niners on offense. They didn't
Speaker 1: really have to do much. Fourteen of twenty for two
Speaker 1: fifty three, two touchdowns and no picks. He was sacked
Speaker 1: three times. Niners didn't convert a third down in the
Speaker 1: first half of that game. George Kittle back in the lineup,
Speaker 1: and man, is that a big difference for the Niners.
Speaker 1: Six catches for one touchdown for him back from knee
Speaker 1: and ankle injuries. The Niners um not only they go
Speaker 1: to Baltimore here, but then they go to New Orleans
Speaker 1: the following week. So that's a two game, a two
Speaker 1: week stretch here for the Niners, where we are going
Speaker 1: to the proverbial learn a lot about this football team
Speaker 1: in the next two weeks. And let me just make
Speaker 1: this note about the Niners last night. I was talking
Speaker 1: to uh Parlay about this before. They allowed seventy eight
Speaker 1: points the past three weeks in two games against Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray and Russell Wilson. Then they get the traditional pocket
Speaker 1: passer like Aaron Rodgers yesterday, and they allow a grand
Speaker 1: total of one yards on seventy plays, didn't allow a
Speaker 1: single completion longer than fifteen yards. So I'm wondering, as
Speaker 1: a sort of handicapping note with the Niners, maybe against
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, a little more of an achilles heel, if
Speaker 1: I may use that expression, thank you very much, Maybe
Speaker 1: more of an achilles heel for the Niners. Then against
Speaker 1: the pocket passer, who they just absolutely destroy, even the
Speaker 1: likes of Aaron Rodgers. So let me just sort of
Speaker 1: throw that out there. But I'll say this is a Baltimore,
Speaker 1: So I'll say it'll be Baltimore Baltimore is three and
Speaker 1: a half tonight at the Rams. I'll say there'll be
Speaker 1: three and a half at home against the Niners. Well,
Speaker 1: I keep three and a half and four. There's some
Speaker 1: lineering numbers out there that the guys who had opened
Speaker 1: it higher, who you know, going into yesterday's game. They
Speaker 1: opened the history morning like four and a half and five,
Speaker 1: which I thought was a little high, but I put
Speaker 1: it the more I looked at San Francisco. I mean,
Speaker 1: they were they were good, but I think, you know,
Speaker 1: it really was a defensive game. Here's an interesting stat.
Speaker 1: I was looking at a garoppolo. He was, you know,
Speaker 1: fourteen to twenty two or fifty three yards, twelve point
Speaker 1: seven per attempt, two touchdowns, no interceptions. His past serating
Speaker 1: was one point eight, which is terrific. This QBR eighteen
Speaker 1: point two. Oh that's interesting. Now, that is interesting. And
Speaker 1: like I said, I always don't really know what goes
Speaker 1: into QBR. I mean it's one of these like a
Speaker 1: secret recipe like Coca cola. I mean it's in a
Speaker 1: you know, safe somewhere. I don't know how they find it,
Speaker 1: but I do like looking at it. It just gives
Speaker 1: you a little bit of a different perspective. Um, because
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were that great yesterday. That's almost impossible.
Speaker 1: That's almost impossible. What you just one quarterback right at
Speaker 1: one forty five point eight, just to refresh people's memories,
Speaker 1: is out of one fifty eight point three scorely old
Speaker 1: school passer rating. The QPR is scored out of a hundred,
Speaker 1: and it was what eighteen point two? There you go? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, but anyway, I checked on that. I think
Speaker 1: three and a half and four. You know, at least
Speaker 1: I gotta check on that. I don't think I made
Speaker 1: a mistake, but I might have because anywhere I like
Speaker 1: the four a little bit. I am correct. Jeff confirms
Speaker 1: are correct. Yeah, Um, I like the four a little
Speaker 1: bit better. And it's funny because I kind of like
Speaker 1: the ramps tonight a little bit. Um, But I so,
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore won't look that great tonight and the
Speaker 1: number might come down a little bit. But I I
Speaker 1: like four a little better here. Um, I didn't know
Speaker 1: that statu you had talked about pocket passers versus mobile
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for San Francisco's defense. But I think Baltimore is
Speaker 1: just a little bit better, and I think they observed
Speaker 1: to be a four point favorite, so that's what I'm
Speaker 1: going to open them. Then, of course we've got Knight's game,
Speaker 1: so I will close that up at post time. Knight. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I use the word referendum to talk about the Rams
Speaker 1: and the Ravens tonight, Well, referendum game between the Niners
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. About the Niners next week. You know,
Speaker 1: these are these are real interesting games as we head
Speaker 1: closer and closer to the postseason. Let's do one more
Speaker 1: here Tennessee in Indianapolis. All right, well this has to
Speaker 1: be three. Let's just start there. Am I right about that? Definitely? Yes? Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: not much Chelsea could be Yeah, another a f C
Speaker 1: South game seemingly every week against two teams that are
Speaker 1: cozied up to five. Both of these teams are six
Speaker 1: and five. Tennessee against Jacksonville yesterday. By the way, Tennessee
Speaker 1: won that game forty two to twenty in a game
Speaker 1: that really wasn't that close. As it turned out, they
Speaker 1: did at his four point favorites. The Titans scored four
Speaker 1: touchdowns over a span of excuse me, six offensive plays
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Let me repeat that, four touchdowns
Speaker 1: over the span of six offensive blaze in the third
Speaker 1: quarter for the forty two to twenty route Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: talking about you know, Garoppolo only through twenty passes, Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill was fourteen of eighteen for two fifty nine two
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, UH, no picks. He was sacked once, but
Speaker 1: he did score twice on the ground seven carries for
Speaker 1: forty yards and two running touchdowns. The Titans are four
Speaker 1: in one now straight up with Tannehill as their quarterback.
Speaker 1: Remember Marcus Mariotta, everybody, anybody remember that guy? Long gone?
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry doing his late season thing. Nineteen carries a
Speaker 1: hundred fifty nine yards, two touchdowns. He becomes the first
Speaker 1: player in the NFL since two thousand six to score
Speaker 1: two touchdowns within twenty seconds. So what he did yesterday?
Speaker 1: A j Brown was Tannehill's biggest target of his fourteen
Speaker 1: completions four catches for one thirty five a touchdown. The
Speaker 1: Titans racked up four hundred and seventy one totally yards
Speaker 1: against the Jags, two hundred nineteen of which were rushing. UH.
Speaker 1: Titans tied with the Colts and the Raiders just outside
Speaker 1: the a f c's final wild Cards wild Card spot
Speaker 1: the next two opponents, by the way, with both of
Speaker 1: them on the road, this first one at Indianaples and
Speaker 1: then at the Raiders. The Colts for their part um,
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, this was a Thursday game, they lost
Speaker 1: to the Texans. Jacoby Pricette was sixteen of twenty five
Speaker 1: in that game for just one twenty nine no touchdowns.
Speaker 1: No Pixie was sack one's Jonathan Williams in Marlon max
Speaker 1: absence their biggest rushing threat one O four and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: They were nine of fifteen on third downs in that game.
Speaker 1: But it's three, and you said it's three, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing else it could be. Yeah, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: there are some like three minus so five minus thirty.
Speaker 1: So it's just gonna be three. And I think this
Speaker 1: number probably gonna stay there pretty much all week. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, Gil by the way, you were talking by
Speaker 1: QBR Marcus Mariotta, he had the lowest QBR in any
Speaker 1: starting quarterback who started any significant amount of games until
Speaker 1: he was unseated by Mason Woundolf. This dealer is a
Speaker 1: little later we will but uh, you know, Tannehill, I'm
Speaker 1: just wondering was he didn't just suffer from poor coaching.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the first round draft pick, don't
Speaker 1: forget a couple of years back. But he's playing some
Speaker 1: pretty good football. And like I said, I really like
Speaker 1: Mike Brabel was a coach. I like Frank Wright as
Speaker 1: a coach. Is I think it's a really interesting game
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I can't wait to see this
Speaker 1: one should be good. And Ryan Tannehill, of course, one
Speaker 1: of those guys who only played a couple of handful
Speaker 1: of games at quarterback in college before he was drafted.
Speaker 1: As as such in the National Football League. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: We'll get some more lines coming back right here in

Speaker 1: as they believe in analytic Yes, I am. It is
Speaker 1: a numbers game right here in Visa Vegas Stats that
Speaker 1: Information Network, Serious x M Channel two oh four, Visa
Speaker 1: dot com, the Visa A good morning to you once again.
Speaker 1: Everybody is Gil Alexander. Jeff Barrls, producer number five, is
Speaker 1: here as well, and clearly the most impressive thing on
Speaker 1: this program so far this morning is that Chris Andrews,
Speaker 1: when asked what is Elkabo, immediately said, isn't that an
Speaker 1: alias for a quick drama graw? And he's absolutely correct. Again,
Speaker 1: James will lead us tonight. Elco bong. This circu sports
Speaker 1: million quarterly needs the rams of the rams cover chop
Speaker 1: seventy plus thousand dollars in his pocket? Man, that dude,
Speaker 1: good for him. We'll try to get James on the
Speaker 1: show tomorrow, win or lose. How about that. We'll get
Speaker 1: James on there, get some of his handicapping thoughts and
Speaker 1: his approach. Let's get some more lines. Chris, by the way,
Speaker 1: el COmON Quick Drama, grow, well done, great knowledge on
Speaker 1: your part. I have so much useless information floating around
Speaker 1: in bond brain. It's ridiculous. Trap steel trap your mind.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's Philadelphia at Miami? Okay? Let me? Can
Speaker 1: I just apologize to people because about two was it
Speaker 1: like six seven weeks ago? I don't. At some point
Speaker 1: into the NFL season, we were doing quarterback tiers and
Speaker 1: my whole point of the whole subject was to show
Speaker 1: how few great quarterbacks there actually were. And I came
Speaker 1: up with a list I think of six of the time,
Speaker 1: and for some reason I felt generous and generous rather
Speaker 1: and I added Carson Wentz into that group. How stupid
Speaker 1: does that feel? Right now? Let me just the the
Speaker 1: sort of the caveat with this is Carson Wentz, doesn't
Speaker 1: have DeShawn Jackson, didn't have al Shon Jeffrey again yesterday,
Speaker 1: didn't have Nelson Aglor, didn't have Jordan Howard. Lane Johnson
Speaker 1: was out, and we've talked about for years now, a
Speaker 1: couple of years. Anyway, Lane Johnson means so much to
Speaker 1: that Eagles team in terms of just strict wins and losses.
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks left the game in the first quarter. They're
Speaker 1: starting right guard, so caveat is he They were really
Speaker 1: depleted on offense. I get it. However, if I may
Speaker 1: just say, there were some throws yesterday from Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: and this is going on for a couple of weeks now,
Speaker 1: but yesterday it was like there was one Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: where he was wide open. He could have just lollygagged
Speaker 1: into the uh into the not lolligand, but he could
Speaker 1: have just traped on into the end zone. All he
Speaker 1: died is like a little seven yard floater. Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: through that ball about fourteen yards. There was one, and
Speaker 1: he's real loose with the football of a sudden. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Carson Wentz, but
Speaker 1: the Eagles lose to the Seahawks in a game that
Speaker 1: the Seahawks probably should have won one thousand to three,
Speaker 1: but they end up losing its seventeen to nine. Do
Speaker 1: the Eagles uh? The Seahawks covered the two and a
Speaker 1: half point spread at Philly Yesterday mentioned all those guys
Speaker 1: that the Eagles were missing. Both of those offensive linemen
Speaker 1: were Pro bowlers. By the way, they couldn't do much
Speaker 1: on offense. They hurt themselves with three tone three turnovers
Speaker 1: by the way inside Seattle territory and another near midfield.
Speaker 1: By the way, rookie first round pick Andre Dillard was
Speaker 1: forced to make his first career start at right tackle
Speaker 1: after playing the left side all season, and he was
Speaker 1: benched at halftime. So that's how well that went. Wentz
Speaker 1: in the statuet thirty three or forty five for two
Speaker 1: fifty six, one touchdown, two picks, sack three times, lost
Speaker 1: two fumbles, including one on a handoff exchange. Wentz quote,
Speaker 1: I gotta be better, no excuses. It starts with me.
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz continues to be his favorite target. Twelve for
Speaker 1: ninety wanted a touchdown, So five total turnovers four the
Speaker 1: Eagles in that game minus three turnover difference, but they're
Speaker 1: going to Miami, which is always the tonic. Miami loses
Speaker 1: to Cleveland yesterday forty one to twenty four. They do
Speaker 1: not cover. But let me just say this, did anyway
Speaker 1: see that last right before Cleveland's last touchdown? There was
Speaker 1: a pick that got reversed on a flag. There was
Speaker 1: a there was a roughing flag. Did you see that play? Parlay?
Speaker 1: I did not think that flag should have had Miami
Speaker 1: me in a teaser that went down because of that call?
Speaker 1: Was that that have been thrown? Ridiculous? And so Miami
Speaker 1: doesn't cover. Probably should have, certainly should have for teasers,
Speaker 1: but they don't do anything in the end. Um Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two picks, sack four times five forty five
Speaker 1: on the grounded other touchdown. Miami secondary was missing three
Speaker 1: starters in that game yesterday. Oh that said, Philly is
Speaker 1: gonna be a seven and a half road favorite. How
Speaker 1: about that for decisiveness? Pretty pretty close? I see anywhere
Speaker 1: from seven and a half all up to nine. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think the nine is way too high here. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I kind of like your number. I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna open eight though, just kind of be
Speaker 1: in the middle. This is a tough game because I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, you know, Carson Wentz, it's not you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you should have put him word did
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely clearly? I was, Yeah, right, clearly. Well,
Speaker 1: let's not forget only a couple of years ago he
Speaker 1: was the favorite for the m v P s uh
Speaker 1: late in the season before he got hurt, you know,
Speaker 1: and then the Philly went on to win the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl without him. And we'll get the Nick Foles pretty
Speaker 1: quick too, you know. But uh, you know, he was
Speaker 1: missing an awful lot. But the Philly team is missing
Speaker 1: an awful lot. And uh, I think that's one of
Speaker 1: the key issues here, not just wins, but the whole
Speaker 1: team right now is just really really banged up. Um.
Speaker 1: I think Miami is a pretty good chance, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: certainly to cover. I don't about when, but I think
Speaker 1: they have a terrific chance of covering. I think it's
Speaker 1: just very high number. I'm going to open eight. Uh,
Speaker 1: they'll probably lay it to me, but that's okay. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take a bet on phil on Philadelphia and probably
Speaker 1: gonna need Miami in the same Philadelphia five and six,
Speaker 1: just a game out in the NFC East or Dallas
Speaker 1: or otherwise stated. The Redskins are just four out Chris,
Speaker 1: how about that for him? And there's a chance. So
Speaker 1: you're saying, there's a cheese. All right, let's do one more.
Speaker 1: So a couple more? What you gotten? Oakland had Kansas City?
Speaker 1: Oakland at Kansas City, by the way, moved to the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Moved to the afternoon. Okay, because I always chronically overrate
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Here, my my guests will probably be higher
Speaker 1: than the market. Oakland finally shows themselves, I think a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yesterday. Oakland loses to the Jets. Not just lose,
Speaker 1: they lose thirty four to three as six point excuse me,
Speaker 1: as three point three and a half point road favorites Oakland,
Speaker 1: who had, let's put it this way, they you know,
Speaker 1: if Cincinnati were any kind of a football team, Oakland
Speaker 1: probably loses that game last week to them. Oakland had
Speaker 1: a win probably against the charges they probably shouldn't have had.
Speaker 1: But they get exposed a little bit by the Jets yesterday,
Speaker 1: maybe a lot. Thirty four to three. Derek Carr fifteen
Speaker 1: of twenty seven for one twenty seven, no touchdowns, one
Speaker 1: pick was sacked ones. By the way, that pick was
Speaker 1: a pick six. He was pulled by coach John Gruden
Speaker 1: with just under two minutes left in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Now, we we go after Jared Goff when
Speaker 1: it's in clement weather. We're always like, oh, Jared Goff, California. Boy,
Speaker 1: Look how he looks like a deer in headlights. It's
Speaker 1: only thirty two degrees not not thirty two below. For
Speaker 1: goodness sake, here's Derek Carr's record Now in games where
Speaker 1: the temperature starts below fifty degrees fahrenheit, and it was
Speaker 1: forty three at kickoff yesterday. Guess what his record is
Speaker 1: in eleven games straight up? Jeff under fifty degrees and
Speaker 1: two and nine good? Not good? Uh? Glenn and Mike Glennon,
Speaker 1: or as Gruden called him in hard Knocks. Glennon was
Speaker 1: four of seven for twenty yards yesterday. Josh Jacobs ten
Speaker 1: carries thirty four yards. Oakland gets housed by the Jets.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Jet side later. Kansas City coming
Speaker 1: off the extra rest here, coming off by I'll say
Speaker 1: the Chiefs minus ten, and I'm very prepared that that's
Speaker 1: gonna be way too high. Oh, you're right on. I
Speaker 1: see a couple of nine and a halves, but ten
Speaker 1: is certainly the phenominant number. And I'm gonna open ten
Speaker 1: um far. I'd really played some pretty good football, but
Speaker 1: you know, when we look back, you know, maybe against
Speaker 1: some very weak opponents. And uh, I think that I
Speaker 1: have to take note of though um openly went. Uh
Speaker 1: they got a lot of wives guy money yesterday. Wives
Speaker 1: guys were all over Oakland. Um. So I try to
Speaker 1: take that into account because maybe they saw something that
Speaker 1: I haven't seen. But they got annihilated yesterday by not
Speaker 1: a very good team. Although we'll get to the Jets
Speaker 1: a little later. Uh So, I think ten's okay. Kansas
Speaker 1: City off some extra rest me o. Andy Reid's record
Speaker 1: off the Bay is very very good, and uh, I
Speaker 1: think ten's a good number here. I'd be careful lane
Speaker 1: too many points, but I think ten's probably a pretty
Speaker 1: decent number. Jamal Adams of the Jets yesterday after that
Speaker 1: game quote, I don't want to sound very arrogant or
Speaker 1: two cocky talking about the Raiders fans now who showed
Speaker 1: up at at this game, but I think they came
Speaker 1: in a little too happy. I think they thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be an easy game. He felt the
Speaker 1: need to say that afterwards. I kind of get it alright,
Speaker 1: So it's ten. Let's do one more Tampa at Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Oh geez, there's a game to four and seven teams. Uh,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay with their second winning their last seven games yesterday,
Speaker 1: congratulations to you Bucketeer fans. Beat the Falcons as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: thirty five to twenty two, as three point dogs went
Speaker 1: it out right, Jamis, It was good Jamis yesterday eighteen
Speaker 1: twenty three, thirteen, three touchdowns, two picks, wasn't sacked. It's
Speaker 1: his sixth straight. You fantasy folks know this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston's sixth straight three yard passing game, though, of course,
Speaker 1: in typical Jamis fashion, you have to quickly after the
Speaker 1: commissay though. Of course he's been picked off in NFL
Speaker 1: high twenty times. That is Jamis Winston. Chris Godwin continuing
Speaker 1: to be his his biggest target seven of four for
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Uh. Seems to outstat Mike Evans pretty consistently
Speaker 1: now four hundred and forty six total yards of offense
Speaker 1: for the Bucks yesterday. And then there's the Jaguars, who
Speaker 1: we mentioned got crushed by the Titans and that flurry
Speaker 1: of touchdowns in the third quarter. Nick Foles yesterday for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars thirty two for two seventy two, no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was sacked three times, Leonard four nine
Speaker 1: seven with two touchdowns. Jags were penalized eleven times for
Speaker 1: a hundred four yards. They had nine set when they
Speaker 1: played the Titans the first time the Jaguars, they sacked
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota nine times. You remember that. Not to pick
Speaker 1: on Mariota, but they sacked him nine times. Yesterday they
Speaker 1: sacked Tannehill only once. That clearly the most glaring difference
Speaker 1: between their two games against the Titans. Um, it's Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: it's Jacksonville. Both teams are met Um, it's probably not
Speaker 1: Jacksonville minus three. I just split the difference between the
Speaker 1: three and a pick him. I'll say it's Jacksonville minus
Speaker 1: one and a half. Seems fair, Yeah, very good. You
Speaker 1: know it's it's one, but mostly one and a half.
Speaker 1: Actually one and a half, so okay, you know we're
Speaker 1: talking about two b R. We caught a little while ago.
Speaker 1: Uh him, Jameis Winston Clayton. Well, he was eighteen eight
Speaker 1: or thirteen yards eleven point two per attempt. He did
Speaker 1: have those two interceptions, no sacks, three touchdowns, two interceptions,
Speaker 1: no sacks. Ninety point eight was his QBR. That's pretty high. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what all goes into it, but I
Speaker 1: went to guests did be anywhere near at ninety point
Speaker 1: eight out of a hundred to b R that that
Speaker 1: teems pretty high. Um, yeah, kind of shocking when I
Speaker 1: was going through the numbers earlier this morning. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know at Jacksonville, you know there's kind of a myth team. Uh,
Speaker 1: I guess one and a Half's okay, I could see
Speaker 1: one either either of those two numbers. I guess I'll
Speaker 1: start on one and a half. You know, like we
Speaker 1: had good jamis yesterday and oftentimes we don't get good jamis,
Speaker 1: So we'll go with one and happens. Who were the
Speaker 1: public wants to take me on? No? One. I asked
Speaker 1: a question at the end of every Beating the book
Speaker 1: Megapod that I do with Mike Palm and Todd Wishnev
Speaker 1: each and every week, and one of the final two
Speaker 1: questions is always if you if you had if we
Speaker 1: lived in a bizarro world and we had to bet
Speaker 1: a side on every single one of these games. But
Speaker 1: you were allowed one free pass. What would be the
Speaker 1: game you would want no part of? I would think
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at Jacksonville is your early it's your early
Speaker 1: front runner for that. Who knows what you get to
Speaker 1: that game. That's the leader in the clubhouse at this point. Yeah, Barlow,
Speaker 1: you agree with that. I was gonna I was gonna
Speaker 1: make it a three dollar favorite to be uh, the
Speaker 1: number one choice. Absolutely. Okay, we'll continue. We'll try to
Speaker 1: extract some value. This kind of difficult this week. Uh,
Speaker 1: these are pretty tight, these lines. We'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: get some more Week thirteen, a lot more to get to,

Speaker 1: thirteen in the National Football League. It's Skil Alexander. Jeff
Speaker 1: parl is here and of course my Chrissie Andrews on
Speaker 1: the phone the South Point Hotel, Casino sports book director. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's do some more of these, Chris. We got a
Speaker 1: whole bunch more to get to. Ok. Uh, the New
Speaker 1: York Jets at the Cincinnati Banks. The Bengals. Bengals are
Speaker 1: owing eleven. I don't know if you know that, Uh. Jets,
Speaker 1: as we've jests, as we mentioned Jeff Parl's boyhood team. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Jets crushed the Raiders, as we as we pointed out,
Speaker 1: thirty four to three. Sam Donald yesterday twenty nine for
Speaker 1: three fifteen, two touchdowns, no picks. He was only sacked
Speaker 1: once ran for another score. It's the fourth three yard
Speaker 1: game of his career, and it's the Jets the first
Speaker 1: three game winning streaking over two years since Week three
Speaker 1: through five Jeff of the seventeen season. The Jets did
Speaker 1: not punt in this game yesterday until the two minute
Speaker 1: mark of the third quarter. Robby Anderson was Donald's favorite
Speaker 1: target for for eight six and a touchdown. They out
Speaker 1: first down if you will the Raiders twenty one to ten.
Speaker 1: The Jets came in allowing the league low seventy nine
Speaker 1: point one yards per game rushing. They gave up sixty
Speaker 1: eight to the Raiders. And then there's the Bengals. UH
Speaker 1: franchise records now for the worst start in the longest
Speaker 1: losing streak. They're owing eleven. Ryan Finley yesterday twelve one touchdown,
Speaker 1: no picks, was sacked four times in their loss to
Speaker 1: the Steelers. And by the way, that loss was sixteen
Speaker 1: to ten. And boy did the Bengals have their chances
Speaker 1: in that game. Tyler Boyd five catches for one on
Speaker 1: one in a touchdown, but the Bengals were two of
Speaker 1: twelve on third downs. They only gained two hundred forty
Speaker 1: four total yards of offense. They had a chance, but
Speaker 1: Boyd made a catch was stripped by Devin Bush at
Speaker 1: the Steelers eight yard line in the fourth quarter that
Speaker 1: preserved the Steelers lead. And then Bud Dupree sacked Ryan
Speaker 1: Finley forced a fumble that he recovered with two thirty
Speaker 1: eight left to close out that ball game. So again,
Speaker 1: Bengals had their chances. They just couldn't get over the hump.
Speaker 1: And really we'll get to the Steelers. Steelers just had
Speaker 1: that one big play from Duck Hodges to James Washington.
Speaker 1: Otherwise maybe the Bengals win this, but not to be
Speaker 1: Bengals O. Eleven. I'll say the Jets, who we left
Speaker 1: remember a couple of weeks ago when Sam Darnald when
Speaker 1: they won that first game of this three game when
Speaker 1: he street Sam, Donald was like a two and seven.
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, if we went out and
Speaker 1: we can still make the playoffs. Uh, there're four and seven.
Speaker 1: There's still there's still a chance. Nobody's laughing now, but
Speaker 1: he's laughing now. Jets minus four, I will say at Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: because they're the Jets. Let's not get too crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much a solid three and a half. Hi, Wow,
Speaker 1: I thought you were high. Um, I'm not sure. I
Speaker 1: don't like your number better, but I'm gonna have put
Speaker 1: an asterisk next to this game. But this goes higher.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go high. You know. Really, the Steelers didn't
Speaker 1: win that game. The Bengals lost it, and uh we
Speaker 1: told the story a couple of weeks ago, a story
Speaker 1: time that had never been told about Kevin White, not
Speaker 1: his real name, who went crazy over the Bengals. Boy,
Speaker 1: if this one ain't making them crazy again, I don't
Speaker 1: know what. This team is just so awful. Uh, they
Speaker 1: are really bad. And the Jets, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: if Donald holds the ball, I mean, if he protects
Speaker 1: the ball, doesn't throw in your stuff, and it doesn't bubble,
Speaker 1: then they're not a bad team. They got a decent
Speaker 1: line up, and um, you know, I had a big
Speaker 1: questions about the coach, uh you know, questions about Donald
Speaker 1: of course, I think still we have to look at
Speaker 1: that going forward, because, like I said, he had this
Speaker 1: problem in college, he's had it in the pros, didn't
Speaker 1: have it yesterday. But he does not protect the ball well.
Speaker 1: But if he does, and then I think there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a cheap number. But actually three and
Speaker 1: a half. I see three and a half with juice
Speaker 1: on the dog a little bit. So I'm open three
Speaker 1: and a half. If I opened it four, I know
Speaker 1: they would jump all over. I'm gonna keep my eye
Speaker 1: on this one. I preferred higher thing, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: open three and half. Kind why would they jump on
Speaker 1: the Bengals? Though? Right, Like it seems like this is
Speaker 1: such a funny sentence, like, but why would they? Um,
Speaker 1: Zac Taylor, I think I'm made that joke yesterday. What
Speaker 1: a terrible way to die again, trampled the death by
Speaker 1: guy he's running to the counter on the Bengal. That's right,
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor just continues to look bewildered in a j green.
Speaker 1: I guess is just punting on the season. He's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I could play, but I don't really feel like it. Um, Jeff,
Speaker 1: you're a lifelong Jets fan, how do you feel about
Speaker 1: this team here? Do you think they are? Seriously the
Speaker 1: four and seven? They are not completely out there not
Speaker 1: making it because they're they That was their first win
Speaker 1: against the a f C this year, by the way, guilty,
Speaker 1: which is uh, well, if they were in the NFC East,
Speaker 1: they would be right in the thick of it because
Speaker 1: because there are three and one against the NFC East.
Speaker 1: The only loss was against with Luke Falk playing quarterback. Look,
Speaker 1: it's very simple with Sam Donald when he doesn't turn
Speaker 1: the ball over. Sam Donald's actually been pretty good in
Speaker 1: his NFL career. It's just like we talked about it
Speaker 1: after the New England game in the Miami game, when
Speaker 1: he commits turnovers, it seems to come and in droves.
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone's spiral is badly once he gets
Speaker 1: the first turnover. Yeah, just in droves. But look, he's
Speaker 1: been great the last few weeks. They played some bad teams.
Speaker 1: They played Oakland yesterday, who look that was that game
Speaker 1: was never close after the first quarter is complete annihilation
Speaker 1: after the first quarter. And look at when Donald protects
Speaker 1: the ball as Chris he said, He's right, Donald's actually
Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh. And that week one loss to the
Speaker 1: Bills for the Jets looms loss large for both teams
Speaker 1: because Buffalo is coasted into the playoffs because of that,
Speaker 1: and the Jets may miss by a game because of that. Alright,
Speaker 1: that's easy with the Jets, I said, Meg, big difference,
Speaker 1: just seven. I don't want to get too crazy about it,
Speaker 1: but that just shows you how the bottom of the
Speaker 1: a f C playoff picture is looking. Right now that
Speaker 1: there at least did it technically, Um, all right, Christmas?
Speaker 1: Next the Rams at Arizona. All right, so we haven't
Speaker 1: seen the Rams yet. They play again tonight, good game
Speaker 1: at home against the Ravens. Will learn a lot about
Speaker 1: the Rams tonight. We'll probably learn a lot about the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Um Rams at Arizona, and Arizona's coming off a bye.
Speaker 1: So it's the site unseen Rams against the three seven
Speaker 1: and one always not, you know, never fun to bet
Speaker 1: against three seven and one Arizona Cardinals. If that's a
Speaker 1: sentence that makes sense, because Kyler Murray is never fun
Speaker 1: to bet against. With the back door open. I mean,
Speaker 1: just as a placeholder, I would say Rams minus three
Speaker 1: and a half? What the what the Ravens are to
Speaker 1: the Rams tonight? I would say the Rams are to
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Yeah, pretty evenly split between three and a
Speaker 1: half and four. I think I'm gonna open it four.
Speaker 1: I expect the Rams to look good than I. Well,
Speaker 1: the RAM is just one of those interesting teams, so
Speaker 1: you look at some of the parts, is really pretty good.
Speaker 1: That they have not put it together this year, but
Speaker 1: you know they're They're a super Bowl team, you know,
Speaker 1: long ago. Let's not forget that, you know. So I mean,
Speaker 1: can they get it together? I think they can. And
Speaker 1: like I said, I expect him to play well tonight
Speaker 1: in Arizona, you know, coming off to Bye and they
Speaker 1: probably do me a little something. Still don't like the
Speaker 1: coach down there. I've had my questions right from the
Speaker 1: start from Kylo Murray. But I'm ready to take a
Speaker 1: mea call for there. He's a lot there than I
Speaker 1: than I expected him to be. Uh, But I do
Speaker 1: like the four a little bit better. Like I said,
Speaker 1: it split between three and a half and four. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open four myself and expecting ramps to show up tonight,
Speaker 1: and I think that will be the more predominant number
Speaker 1: come tomorrow morning. Have I been more than a point
Speaker 1: or point and a half away from any of these today?
Speaker 1: Like this is a far cross from a few weeks
Speaker 1: back or four weeks ago with the famous Pittsburgh Miami
Speaker 1: one when I guess seven and a half and it
Speaker 1: was fourteen and a half and like the worst guest ever.
Speaker 1: But these lines are pretty pretty logical to me so far.
Speaker 1: Today There's still like a handful of opportunities here to
Speaker 1: mess up, so let me not speak too soon. What's next?
Speaker 1: The chargers at the Broncos. Oh god, it's my Tampa baby, Jacksonville. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is just rble. Uh. I told the story on
Speaker 1: the megapod, I'll tell it right here. So when I
Speaker 1: was recovering, and again thank you to everybody who wrote
Speaker 1: such nice kind notes to me on Twitter at beating
Speaker 1: the book after my complications for my Achilles surgery, where
Speaker 1: again I had a a massive pulmonary embolism a saddle
Speaker 1: embulis a huge blood clot that was impinioning on my
Speaker 1: heart and was really touch and go there for a
Speaker 1: second for me but that was the night, like to
Speaker 1: give you an idea how completely surprising this all was
Speaker 1: with me because I was just I was just short
Speaker 1: of breath. I mean, can't be that much wrong with me.
Speaker 1: They came in there and they said, oh, we gotta
Speaker 1: give you an immediate throw back to me. We gotta,
Speaker 1: we gotta you know, we gotta take care of you.
Speaker 1: We're admitting you. I'm like, what you're admitting me? And
Speaker 1: did you give you an idea how our brains are
Speaker 1: and how it takes a while to sink in. My
Speaker 1: first thought was, wait a minute, Uh, the Chargers are
Speaker 1: playing in the Charges are playing the Chiefs in Mexico
Speaker 1: City at five AM. I gonna be okay for kick
Speaker 1: off of this game because I'd like to watch this
Speaker 1: football game. They're looking at me like I'm nuts, right,
Speaker 1: I really really so. I missed the first half of
Speaker 1: this game because I was under But by the time
Speaker 1: halftime rolled around, I was in a gurney in this
Speaker 1: in this sort of recovery room with other people in gurneys,
Speaker 1: and we couldn't see each other. We just knew each
Speaker 1: other where everyone was looking up at their own individual
Speaker 1: TV screen, and so I asked them to. So I
Speaker 1: we all watched the second half strangers in this recovery room,
Speaker 1: and when Philip Rivers and the Chargers had that last drive,
Speaker 1: it was just hilarious to hear the common They were
Speaker 1: all united by the common uh acknowledge that the Chargers
Speaker 1: were never going to win that football game, right like
Speaker 1: they had. Everybody was like Rivers, like I could hear
Speaker 1: these different things people from their own recovery beds and
Speaker 1: like same little Chargers Um. Chargers lost that game, of
Speaker 1: course to the chiefs Um they had to buy here
Speaker 1: there at Denver, Denver. Yesterday, Denver loses to Buffalo. As
Speaker 1: we mentioned twenty two three, they loses three and a
Speaker 1: half point dogs brand into Allen. There's another Allan for you,
Speaker 1: Chris Brandon Allen ten of twenty five for eighty two yards.
Speaker 1: Is that good? Zero touchdowns, one interception. He was sacked
Speaker 1: four times. Here here were his stats in the second half,
Speaker 1: three of fourteen for four yards in the second half.
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up when you factor all the Saxon.
Speaker 1: By the way, the total total passing yards in the
Speaker 1: game for the for the Broncos was forty nine passing yards.
Speaker 1: Forty nine passing yards when you factor in the sacks.
Speaker 1: Drew Lock, everybody drew Lock. He spent the past two
Speaker 1: weeks practicing since being sidelined in August by an injury
Speaker 1: to his right thumb. He would remain on i R
Speaker 1: the rest of the season if he's not activated by
Speaker 1: December three. So there is a there's a drew Lock
Speaker 1: decision coming up, if not this week then next. Not
Speaker 1: that that should excite anybody too much either. By the way,
Speaker 1: let me not make two big a deal of that.
Speaker 1: So do you make of that Chargers are at the Broncos?
Speaker 1: I mean, I could say Chargers minds three, But then
Speaker 1: I say, why would the Chargers deserve to be three
Speaker 1: point favorites? And we just saw the Broncos play fairly
Speaker 1: well here in recent times. I'll split the difference. I'll
Speaker 1: say Chargers minus one and a half on the road
Speaker 1: at Denver, Yeah, it's one and a half and one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with one and a half. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: the White guys were all over Denver ship they play
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, and you know on the pod
Speaker 1: on our show last week, I Got Love Buffalo. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody open at four and a half. Five opened at
Speaker 1: five and a half and they took it. And a
Speaker 1: lot of times I'll skip five, just go straight to
Speaker 1: four and a half when they take they you know,
Speaker 1: one of those sharp guys took the five and half.
Speaker 1: My guy, he went to four and half. I could
Speaker 1: just go back to five. Buffalo is gonna kill this,
Speaker 1: you know. And uh, obviously I'm wondering I see something
Speaker 1: really wrong here. Evidently it didn't. But you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. This is this is a terrible game, and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess one and a half between
Speaker 1: this and the Tampa Bay Again, I don't know which
Speaker 1: would be the one I stay away from the business.
Speaker 1: You imagine watching this game without a bed, So say,
Speaker 1: if betting didn't didn't exist. Two of eleven on third
Speaker 1: downs where the Broncos yesterday they had a hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty four total yards of offense on the stat sheet. Um,
Speaker 1: by the way, let me ask you a question before
Speaker 1: we get to one more. How many of these so
Speaker 1: far have been afternoon games? Because yesterday the NFL did
Speaker 1: that thing right where they had nine early games, nine
Speaker 1: early games and then two afternoon games, which is really
Speaker 1: one game staggered to the next right one uh four
Speaker 1: oh five Eastern, one oh five Pacific, then another the
Speaker 1: Patriots of the Cowboys at four UM, and then the
Speaker 1: Sunday night games. So it was like nine games at once,
Speaker 1: and then standalone's like what are they doing? So how
Speaker 1: many of these were afternoons so far? And then we've
Speaker 1: gone through uh, well seven so far, and then we've
Speaker 1: got one more. The next game is Cleveland Pittsburgh. They
Speaker 1: got foopped from a later game to one of the
Speaker 1: early games. So they probably did that because seriously, probably
Speaker 1: expecting some trouble with Cleveland to Pittsburgh and don't want
Speaker 1: to have too many drunken fans. So that's an interesting point.
Speaker 1: Much that's going to help. But that's, you know, my
Speaker 1: opinion on this. And by the way, you know you're
Speaker 1: talking about your embolism and all that. Don't do that again, Gil, Yeah,
Speaker 1: please don't do that. Don't do that. I'm sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like I said, I was like, it's just I
Speaker 1: came scooting into the e er. They told you, the
Speaker 1: doctor said that they go, well, two things. Well, we
Speaker 1: gotta hand it to you. We don't usually see usually
Speaker 1: see people coming with this scooting on into the r
Speaker 1: They usually keeled over too. We gotta go, we gotta
Speaker 1: put you under immediately, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So again, the lesson in all of this, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: listen to your bodies, Listen to you. I can attest
Speaker 1: to that I did my own stupid, stupid things when
Speaker 1: I had my disease. You know, so well, I think,
Speaker 1: can we just guys are idiots. Guys are idiots. Guys
Speaker 1: are idiots. You're one of your stories, and forgive me
Speaker 1: if i'll just I'll just offer one. Is you were out,
Speaker 1: you were short of breath, and you would meet something,
Speaker 1: you would have a lunch date, and you would tell people,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, no, go ahead, I'll meet you there. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to go to the bathroom
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But you knew that you were going
Speaker 1: to slow them down kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I always say the final night, the final night is,
Speaker 1: you know, I go get my keys from Valet. I
Speaker 1: had to walk about thirty feet to get to my car,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, can I have Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I can make it the thirty feet In
Speaker 1: the first spot that crossed my mind is steps Curry
Speaker 1: can make jump shots from here and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: I could walk that far, and we think, yeah, and
Speaker 1: listen to your bodies. All right. So you mentioned it's
Speaker 1: Cleveland at Pittsburgh. This is the the rematch, revenge, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it from that Thursday night debacle
Speaker 1: in which Myles Garrett swung Mason Rudolph's helmet at him,
Speaker 1: and Myles Garrett has done for the year regular season
Speaker 1: in playoffs because of the suspension based on that and
Speaker 1: then the fallout afterwards. Myles Garrett late last week saying
Speaker 1: that Mason Rudolph had a racial slur against him. The
Speaker 1: NFL finds no evidence of that, but on and on
Speaker 1: suspensions were rampant. UH in this situation. Marquise Pouncey served
Speaker 1: the first of his two games suspension, for instance, yesterday
Speaker 1: for kicking and punching Myles Garrett. UH. Steelers actually had
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys out. Juju was out still against
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, he was out with a concussion, James
Speaker 1: Conner with the shoulder injury, and their win against the
Speaker 1: Bengals yesterday. UM Let's start with Cleveland Baker Mayfield in
Speaker 1: that win against the Dolphins. Thirty four for three twenty seven,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked once. Nick Chupp
Speaker 1: twenty one carries a hundred six yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry ten catches one forty eight in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Oh b J six for eighty four in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: That's the first time Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr.
Speaker 1: Scored touchdowns in the same game as Brown's teammates. Hadn't
Speaker 1: done that the two of them since when they both
Speaker 1: played at l s U. I WoT that uh and
Speaker 1: then Pittsburgh and that win against Cincinnati. As we talked about,
Speaker 1: they were playing shorthanded. Probably should have lost that game.
Speaker 1: But they now have, as you very well known as
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh Steeler guy, Chris, they've got a quarterback decision.
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph was eight of sixteen eight of sixteen for
Speaker 1: eighty five yards in the first half yesterday, no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick, He was sacked once, and Mike Tomlin said,
Speaker 1: that's enough of that. Devlin Duck Hodges come back on
Speaker 1: the field five of eleven for one eighteen, most of
Speaker 1: that on at seventy nine yard or to James Washington
Speaker 1: with a stiff farm for the Ages. One touchdown that
Speaker 1: was it for a Hodges, no picks sacked twice. Benny
Speaker 1: Snell Junior out of Kentucky twenty one carries for ninety
Speaker 1: eight yards for the Steelers in Connor's absence, Washington was
Speaker 1: three of ninety eight with at seventy nine yard touchdown,
Speaker 1: ten penalty seventy six yards, on and on. Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: Cleveland at Pittsburgh. It's the rematch. And what Chrissy saying
Speaker 1: is right. The NFL braced obviously for this. I have
Speaker 1: a feeling everybody's going to be on good behavior. But
Speaker 1: because of the controversy here, if I can even use
Speaker 1: that term with the Steelers, will it be Rudolph, will
Speaker 1: it be Hodges? And I kind of think Mike Tomas
Speaker 1: got to go to Duck Hodges here. But because of that, um,
Speaker 1: this is kind of a coin flip to me, I'll
Speaker 1: say it's a pick them again. I like your number better,
Speaker 1: but I see Cleveland one and one and a half.
Speaker 1: The thing about Pittsburgh right now, you mentioned, uh, you
Speaker 1: know the players that missed yesterday, and you know you
Speaker 1: almost have to assume they're gonna miss this game too.
Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster, James Conner and Mike Pouncey is is
Speaker 1: definitely missing. You know, he's on suspension. Um that's three
Speaker 1: of their absolute biggest key guys to that offense. So
Speaker 1: they'll you know, let's assume they're missing. And at this point,
Speaker 1: that's what I would think. Uh. And about the quarterback controversy,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go with Hodges myself. I called
Speaker 1: for that yesterday during the game. But we're talking about
Speaker 1: Rudolph has the worst QBR of any player who's started
Speaker 1: any kind of significant amount of games, uh, this year.
Speaker 1: But you know, Douck Hodges was not much better yesterday. UM,
Speaker 1: Hodges two yards was twenty five point six, which is terrible,
Speaker 1: even though his passer rating was one fifteen. And again,
Speaker 1: just a different way of looking at some stats because
Speaker 1: I'm you know, we get analytical. I'm not sure always
Speaker 1: what what's more important, what isn't. But it's just a
Speaker 1: different way of looking at it. But the team did
Speaker 1: seem to have a little bit of a spark when
Speaker 1: he got in there, and Uh, I gotta say this,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not crazed by him as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: I thad be like one of these guys are gonna
Speaker 1: be serviceable as a backup throughout most of his career.
Speaker 1: But the racial thing that got acute that he was
Speaker 1: accused of. Even if he's innocent, and I hope that
Speaker 1: he is. I hope that he is. There's no way
Speaker 1: evans to say that he's not. And something I'll stay
Speaker 1: with him probably the rest of his life. And that's
Speaker 1: why I didn't. I don't like that, you know, with
Speaker 1: with no evidence whatsoever, and you know his teammates jumped
Speaker 1: in to defend them right away. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a shame that that that would
Speaker 1: get attached to a kid like that, and you know,
Speaker 1: a young player, uh like I said, with no evidence,
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, that's just the way it
Speaker 1: is in today's in today's society. All that being said,
Speaker 1: Cleveland really played well yesterday. I think they had one
Speaker 1: of those games sort of coming because they do have
Speaker 1: a very good lineup. We talked about Freddy Kitchen is
Speaker 1: not a very good coach, but they werenato the right
Speaker 1: opponent yesterday, and even then, I thought they did all
Speaker 1: they could to try to blow that game. I really
Speaker 1: did you know? So I do. I like to pick better,
Speaker 1: but I see a lot of one and a half,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna open. I'm gonna open one and see
Speaker 1: where they take me with that. But if I see pick,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to pick. And I don't think Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: should be a favorite with all the players that they
Speaker 1: do have out, But I'm not sure Cleveland should be
Speaker 1: a favorite either, And that you're talking about people on
Speaker 1: good behavior. Players on the field probably will be. The
Speaker 1: fans in the stands probably will not be good. Expect
Speaker 1: to see some fights in the stands. So I think
Speaker 1: that's why they moved this game. But drunken fans between
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Cleveland will not be a pretty site. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, Pittsburgh six and five. If the playoffs,
Speaker 1: of you, if we did the old playoffs sort of
Speaker 1: beginning right now, thing, Pittsburgh's in as the six wild
Speaker 1: card team or the second wild card team, but the
Speaker 1: sixth playoff position, the final one at six and five.
Speaker 1: Oakland and the Colts, as we mentioned, tied with them
Speaker 1: as his Tennessee at six and five, and then it's
Speaker 1: the Browns just one game back of them at five
Speaker 1: and six, so this could still happen for both of
Speaker 1: these football teams. Huge football game despite all the uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the extracurriculars from their last contest. It's an
Speaker 1: actual huge football game in terms of the season. The
Speaker 1: fates of these two nineteen seasons will come back. We'll
Speaker 1: do primetime games. By the way, the answer to the
Speaker 1: question was, there's a grand total of three afternoon games
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We have this little squorely because we have
Speaker 1: a three Thanksgiving games, but three late games on Sunday before,
Speaker 1: of course the primetime games hit. We'll talk about those
Speaker 1: with Chris. It's a numbers game guessing lines right here.
Speaker 1: Week thirteen in the National Football League at Visa. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to a numbers game with Jill Alexander and I
Speaker 1: just want to uh make some notes here or clear sometu.
Speaker 1: Indianapolis putting Eric Ebron on season ennging I r ankle injury,
Speaker 1: so that's a big loss for the Colts. And I
Speaker 1: mentioned right guard Brandon Brooks left the game in the
Speaker 1: first quarter for the Eagles yesterday. Turns out he leaves,
Speaker 1: according to reports, due to an illness related to anxiety.
Speaker 1: He's been open about dealing with anxiety. Took to social
Speaker 1: media Monday to address what happened. Um just apparently he
Speaker 1: has a he has a routine where he wakes up
Speaker 1: and does a typical routine of morning vomiting. Geez uh,
Speaker 1: and it didn't go away like it normally does. So
Speaker 1: that's what forced him out of the game for the
Speaker 1: Eagles yesterday. The NASA and vomiting came back and until
Speaker 1: he left the field. And so that's just another thing
Speaker 1: to add to the the Eagles personnel losses on offense
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Seattle Seahawks. We do have primetime game
Speaker 1: started Grocer out there Parl Barley first thing in the morning.
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to clarify that there was not
Speaker 1: an injury. Um So if you want to learn more
Speaker 1: about that, go to Brandon Brook's twitter. We got the
Speaker 1: primetime games week thirteen. Chris what he got Sunday night?
Speaker 1: Pretty good ones Sumday night, New England at Houston. They
Speaker 1: flashed up this stat yesterday. Did you see this during
Speaker 1: the Cowboys game for New England about half time yes
Speaker 1: at Gillette Stadium. I didn't know that. Uh, the the
Speaker 1: adding yesterday's victory to this, the Patriots now at Gillette Stadium.
Speaker 1: I would imagine this is under Bill Belichick. I'm guessing
Speaker 1: ninety nine in one at Gillette Stadium when leading at
Speaker 1: halftime ninety nine and one. That can't I mean, that
Speaker 1: has to extend past Belichick right now, Gillette Stadium during
Speaker 1: the Belichick because so it's all of the all of
Speaker 1: the games of Gillette rule game sorry, Raiders fans, was
Speaker 1: the last game at the old stadium there, and that
Speaker 1: was two thousand one. Yeah, okay, so well that was
Speaker 1: right around Belichick getting there right year after that was
Speaker 1: the first Super Bowl two year year two into his tenure.
Speaker 1: So ninety nine and one is what they finished with
Speaker 1: the halftime lead. They had a halftime lead yesterday. That
Speaker 1: was their nin and a hundred such instances. It's the
Speaker 1: eighteenth straight regular season win for the Patriots at home.
Speaker 1: They've won ten games and seventeen consecutive season. That goes
Speaker 1: on and on and on. But I would like to
Speaker 1: say this is Tom Brady still in the upper echelon
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Been teen of thirty seven from one nine
Speaker 1: one touchdown note picks, two sacks. Now again, horrible weather
Speaker 1: yesterday in Foxboro. Typical New England kind of winter weather,
Speaker 1: a lot of precipitation. The wind was high to kill
Speaker 1: Harry uh in Kiel Harry rather Uh seventy five player
Speaker 1: to catch a touchdown pass from Tom Brady, extending an
Speaker 1: NFL record seventy five dude to catch a touchdown pass.
Speaker 1: Different guy, that is, to catch pass from Brady. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Patriots, though, had as much trouble as the Cowboys did.
Speaker 1: Really on third downs. They were three of thirteen on
Speaker 1: third downs. There was no mohammedsan New yesterday. Philip Dorset,
Speaker 1: we're both ruled out. Uh. This is at Houston, Houston,
Speaker 1: coming off the extra rest. Now, remember they had the
Speaker 1: Thursday night win against the Colts in which Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: went nineteen of thirty two nine two touchdowns, one pick,
Speaker 1: one sack. Will Fuller the fifth seven catches for one
Speaker 1: forty DeAndre Hopkins six catches, nine, two touchdowns. They were
Speaker 1: six of twelve on third downs of that game, New
Speaker 1: England at Houston. I will say that this is New
Speaker 1: England minus three. And the reason and they don't make
Speaker 1: it more is this because if you're watching the New
Speaker 1: England Patriots, as good as that defense is again caveat
Speaker 1: and clement weather. But it even extends further back. That
Speaker 1: offense is not very good. So I'll say it's minus
Speaker 1: three on the road. You know, guilt's three with juice
Speaker 1: on the favorite. I do see some three and a
Speaker 1: half flat, uh, and three three and a half the
Speaker 1: juice on the docks. I'm the open three and a half.
Speaker 1: I'll probably take it off me, but I think that's okay.
Speaker 1: I eight to play the street three and a half
Speaker 1: game all week, especially on a night game, because we'll
Speaker 1: do a ton of business and I have to avoid that.
Speaker 1: You know, this new England team a couple of things
Speaker 1: I want to say. First of all, it reminds me
Speaker 1: of that Broncos team that won the last their last
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Peyton Manning, who was really just a
Speaker 1: show of himself at the end of the year or
Speaker 1: that whole year. Really uh he was kind of like
Speaker 1: the game manager quote unquote. Then they had a great defense,
Speaker 1: not a very good offense, won the Super Bowl. I
Speaker 1: think Brady is probably not quite as bad as Peyton
Speaker 1: of that last year. Their defense probably as good. And
Speaker 1: if you need a game manager, is there a better
Speaker 1: one than Tom Brady? And uh, you know, um, you
Speaker 1: know Kubiak was a coach for that Bronco team. Well,
Speaker 1: I thought did a terrific job, and of course you
Speaker 1: got to go to check the coach of this team.
Speaker 1: So I think they're still very, very viable as a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We got a favorite, you know, and I
Speaker 1: think they deserve to be that. They're really tough to
Speaker 1: beat down this stretch. But I do think uh Brady
Speaker 1: has certainly come back to the pack and he's probably
Speaker 1: in the upper half of quarterbacks. But a lot of
Speaker 1: that I think has to do with the fact that
Speaker 1: he knows how to win games rather than just go
Speaker 1: out of light up a scoreboard. He's not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to do that. But you know that's the NFL.
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta win games. It's not college. I
Speaker 1: mean college. You know, you go out and you gotta
Speaker 1: put you know, forty points on the board to win
Speaker 1: it in put twenty four on a you know on
Speaker 1: the board. Win most of your projemes. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we only put what they be out yesterday thirteen or
Speaker 1: what they have sixteen thirteen, whatever was, um thirteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they won. Yeah, some pretty famtom tripping calls. I
Speaker 1: don't know what Cowboys got, so yeah, boy, I don't
Speaker 1: know where that came from. I mean, I saw absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing on either one of them. Anyway, I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: three and a half. I think it should be a really,
Speaker 1: really good game. But you know, I'm not saying I'd
Speaker 1: lay the three and a half on the Patriots, but
Speaker 1: I probably lay three if that's what it was everywhere
Speaker 1: three flat. But I don't see three flat. I see
Speaker 1: three with juice on the favorite and three app juice
Speaker 1: on the dogs. I'm gonna open three and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: phantom tripping call on Travis Frederick which really stifled the
Speaker 1: Cowboys attempts to come back and win that game. By
Speaker 1: the way of ninety nine and one, the only loss
Speaker 1: was that was that that Thursday night opener against the
Speaker 1: Chiefs in twenty seventeen. The Patriots were up seventeen to
Speaker 1: fourteen at the half, lost forty two to twenty seven
Speaker 1: twenty one and thing fourth quarter for the Chiefs that night.
Speaker 1: Let's do the Monday night game real quick before we
Speaker 1: go on. I do want to say one thing. I
Speaker 1: just remember this, and I don't have the numbers with me,
Speaker 1: but Bill Walsh was kind of like the same way
Speaker 1: he wanted to build a big halftime lead and second
Speaker 1: halves he just was, you know, grinding it out, and
Speaker 1: he knew how to win football games. And I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you one of the things that you know, when
Speaker 1: I was still out there betting quite a bit, I
Speaker 1: bet second halves under on those great Niner teams because
Speaker 1: they score a lot the first half, and everybody had
Speaker 1: high numbers for the second half, and most of those
Speaker 1: second halves went on. Bill just knew how to you know,
Speaker 1: run the football, just have a very controlled path in
Speaker 1: the game. And I s go check to kind of
Speaker 1: the same thing, but the similar type quarterback too. By
Speaker 1: the way, Chrissy, let me let me, let me speak in,
Speaker 1: let me sneak in a break here. We'll come back,
Speaker 1: we'll do the Monday night game and we'll recap what
Speaker 1: we like, if anything. Tough week here week guessing lines
Speaker 1: on a numbers game right here at Welcome back to
Speaker 1: a numbers game with Alexander. All right, Chrissy, what's Monday night?
Speaker 1: We got the Vikings at the Seahawks. Vikings coming off
Speaker 1: by Seahawks remain undefeated on the road in six games,
Speaker 1: first time in franchise history. Russell Wilson thirteen of twenty
Speaker 1: five and that win against the Eagles yesterday for two yards,
Speaker 1: one touchdown, one pick. He was sacked six times. Wow,
Speaker 1: Wilson first quarterback in NFL history to start his career
Speaker 1: with eight straight winning seasons. How about that? Wilson started
Speaker 1: all one d thirty six games since his rookie season,
Speaker 1: including thirteen in the playoffs. Rashad Penny yesterday fourteen for
Speaker 1: one fifty eight yard touchdown run. When did Rochard Penny?
Speaker 1: By the way, when did Rashad Penny jeff eat Maurice
Speaker 1: Jones drew? When did he become a bowling ball? When
Speaker 1: did that happen? Good lord? Twelve penalties for ninety yards
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks yesterday. They were without Jadeveon Clowney, still
Speaker 1: got it done against the Eagles. I'll say Seattle minus
Speaker 1: two and a half at home against the Vikings. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't see any two and a halfs, but I
Speaker 1: see three with Juice on the So you know, we
Speaker 1: do everything eleven and ten, we're gonna open three. They'll
Speaker 1: probably wind up taking it off me. But I try
Speaker 1: to hold before to three as long as I can
Speaker 1: because I know if I go to two and a half,
Speaker 1: so lay it right back. And that that's the other
Speaker 1: thing we talked about. You know how many games the
Speaker 1: point Sprade comes into playing two and a half to
Speaker 1: three or three to two and a half, and see
Speaker 1: how much action you created. It's quite a bit. So
Speaker 1: you know, it's what I made for the players and
Speaker 1: the different things for books makers. Uh, you know, looking
Speaker 1: back on these, then, Chris, what do I like? I mean,
Speaker 1: this was the most pristine guessing of lines thus far
Speaker 1: this year. These were all really cozied up. So just
Speaker 1: my first instinct, and it's not much of an instinct,
Speaker 1: but my first instinct is kind of chalky, which hasn't
Speaker 1: been the case in recent weeks. Caroline is only quote
Speaker 1: unquote giving ten to the Redskins. I kind of like
Speaker 1: Carolina Casey giving ten to the to the Raiders. I
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna be high. You tell me, it's
Speaker 1: I kind of like Casey Jets only giving three and
Speaker 1: a half or whatever it is on the road there
Speaker 1: to the Bengals. Those are kind of my instincts. What
Speaker 1: do you what do you like? Real quick? I like
Speaker 1: the Bills taking well seven and you can get it,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna probably disappear quickly. In the Saints, you
Speaker 1: can probably lay six and a half. I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: at seven myself. So those those do both on Thursday,
Speaker 1: and I ard that not much, not much at Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's tough, Parlay and you reaction real quick. Tough week
Speaker 1: yet again. Yeah, very simply. I actually like I actually
Speaker 1: like my Jets laying three and a half. Cincinnati do too.
Speaker 1: I think, Sam darnall, they are they are really trying
Speaker 1: to get that playoff race. Uh, the schedule is favorable,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Chris, thank you, appreciate it. I'll talk
Speaker 1: to you soon, sir, Yes, sir, yes sir, it's stay healthy. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you you too. Chris Andrew, south Point sports Book,
