23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Volume Podcast Network. I am Chad Mellman, Chief Content Officer

00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: of the Action Network, and I am joined as I

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: am every single episode by my co host, my bff,

26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: my companion, Michael Padre professional better Simon Hunter, my brother

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: Chad's buddy. We got a lot to discuss um on

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: this episode, we will narrow down our sort of leans

29
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: for Tuesday get down to a final five. Reminder, we

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: don't have to put our picks in for our contest

31
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: until Sunday, so this five is what we believe right now.

32
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: For full transparency, we have likely bet or will bet

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: all of these games, regardless whether or not they are

34
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: final five depends on a lot of factors that happened

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: over the next forty hours. We will put our final

36
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: five in the Action Network app. Follow the phaves five

37
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: in the Action Network app. For these final five, our

38
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: other picks and I have very specific one I want

39
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: to discuss with you Foxhole from Tuesday. It was the

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Saints plus three. I loved it. That line has moved.

41
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: We got ahead of the number. Exact decision from me.

42
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Jags plus four and a half. We got ahead of

43
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: the number. It's now four. Uh, big balls we're gonna

44
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: do today. Simon said, this is what I want to

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: talk to you about. Simon says the Simon says bet

46
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: was forty nine Ers minus nine and a half. That

47
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: numbers moved. I betted at nine and a half immediately

48
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: on the podcast, used fan to a quick slip through

49
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: the Action Network at it's now eight and a half.

50
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Injuries. I mean, Kiddle might be out,

51
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: they might, they're they're they're likely to are down their

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: number one. I saw that Jeff Wilson, I believe now

53
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: was through number one, and so he was the hottest

54
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: pickup right in fantasy football this past weekend. So I

55
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: get it. That's why I'm not the biggest fan of

56
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: people betting early, especially if you're only betting one unit

57
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: per bet. We did I don't know how many games

58
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: last week. I don't know a single game that actually

59
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: came down to the spread. Well, I guess Cleveland, Cleveland

60
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: and Carolina, right because Carolina opened it four and a half,

61
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: then they closed at whatever that was minus one and

62
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: a half, So yeah, that mattered. But yeah, I'm all

63
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: about the best of the number. You know, I lived

64
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: for talking about half a point um, but yeah, that happens.

65
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's definitely good on some numbers we got.

66
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: And then again we'll talk about these other games coming up.

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: A lot of movement, right, A lot of information coming out,

68
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: So there are been lines shifting by half a point

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: or a point since just whatever the thirty six hours ago. Yeah, yeah, no,

70
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: it's great. Why we do the podcast twice a week,

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: it's why we narrow it down, it's why we talk

72
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: about these things. It all matters. Every single nickel and

73
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: dime adds up over the course of the season. We're

74
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: about long term r o I. It's not a boomer

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: plus cycle, right, Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. In

76
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: the long haul, you make right decisions, often enough on

77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: the right sides, with the right numbers, squeeze out a

78
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: little bit of profit. Again. I try to stay off

79
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: social media because I already have so much noise in

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: my life of other pros reached out to me. I

81
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: got Chad, I got other people the Action Network. That's enough.

82
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear like everyone else's opinions on

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: games because it does screw with my head. Um, it

84
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: makes you question your own picks. The amount of parlays

85
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: I saw sent to me from our picks of last

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: week terrifying, truly horrifying. I feel like these people listen

87
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: to us for our picks, but not our actual advice.

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Please guys, bet straight, just bet individually. Three and two

89
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: is the goal every week, is always the goal. That's

90
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: always what we're shooting for. I love it that you

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: guys all hit big. Seriously, it was madness how many

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: parlays were sent to me. So if you're betting a

93
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: hundred bucks on parlays, that means you should be betting

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: over a thousand dollars even more on your straight bets.

95
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: So if that's if you're doing the same one on parlays,

96
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: you are in your straight bets. No bo, you're messing up.

97
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: You gotta switch it up. Do a hundred on your

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: straight bets, tem dollars on your parlays, just please, and again,

99
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I only recommend going to three, like two to three

100
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: times parlays. I don't ever go up to five, six, seven,

101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: unless you're going with like five bucks, like really small'st amounts.

102
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: So love love seeing everyone hit big, but like that

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: was crazy. I could not believe how many people parley

104
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: at our picks together and actually worked out for him.

105
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: So awesome to see, but definitely little nerve wracking. Guy,

106
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: I am fucking begging you. Don't engage. Don't take two seriously.

107
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Social media it is a wormhole of hate and dysfunction.

108
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: In the broadest sense. There's a lot of right Backgroyd

109
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: block though. I mean, I'm I'm pretty good at right

110
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: just give it right backrd block and if they give

111
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: it back to me, they and they just are just

112
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: straight losers. I just blocked. But I'm with you, Chai.

113
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: I try not to. But it's our job. Like you

114
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: want me to go in there and post stuff. I

115
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: gotta support their action employees. I gotta repost their stuff,

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: so stuff is gonna slip through. That's true. No, that

117
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: that's a fair point. But remember last year we said

118
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: to ourselves we were getting we were too in our heads,

119
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: we were reacting too much to what was happening in

120
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: the outside world. I have been watching these lines a

121
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: week I feel great about what I'm seeing. I feel

122
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: great about the bets were making. Before we get to

123
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: all that, let's get to it. Shark calls hello, who's there,

124
00:06:51,760 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking who's calling you this week? And who? What

125
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: are they saying? Are they ripping? Are they supporting? The

126
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: biggest talk with futures. And it's hilarious because we always

127
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: talked about out of reacting. The amount of pros I

128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: talked to that, I think people should be putting money

129
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: on the Vikings, the Eagles or the Saints to when

130
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: the NFC is is crazy to me. They all think

131
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks are done. They think Green Bay has too

132
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: many issues that's gonna come up later in the season.

133
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: They don't trust the Rams, and they don't trust the

134
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: four Niners, which we're gonna get to coming up. I

135
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: just thought that was interesting. That's a lot to over

136
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: react to just one week. I can't do it. I mean,

137
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: the one that Dus standouts maybe the Buccaneers I've seen

138
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: now that God wins out, Mike Evans have popped up

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: injury reporting sort of Leonard four Nett, which is great

140
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: for our Saints. Bet Um. That was more interesting just

141
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: how much wide open the NFC is It wasn't even

142
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: just my friends too that I talked to. It was

143
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: like actual pros are like, no, it isn't like there's

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: huge market efficiency here that we should be investing in.

145
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Like the NFC is wide open, which we knew coming

146
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: in right Me and you talked about that. You went

147
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a wild card and your

148
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: championship pick. I kind of went with the boy pick.

149
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted the Bucks win in the NFC. But

150
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: it is wide open. The first game gotta call it

151
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: on was definitely that Simon says. Pick had a couple

152
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: of pros reach out to me. They think I'm overrating

153
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Trey Lance and this four Niners team, and I'm underrating

154
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks team. And I said, based on what Geno

155
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Smith had literally one good half, did you guys did

156
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: not see him in the second half? And did you

157
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: not see that defense and saw teaming up all those yards?

158
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: I get it. I would love to be down on

159
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: the forty Niners and they're kind of been a a team,

160
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: a team everyone picked coming into the euar of being

161
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: a sleeper team, and that's always a little worrisome. But

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that was a tsunami like justin Fields

163
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: to me, just made the plays to win that game.

164
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, you can hit on him for that, right,

165
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: he did not make the plays to put his team

166
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: in a position to win. But how do I know

167
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: how good their run scheme is? How do I know

168
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: this offense is gonna function even defensively? What do what? What

169
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: What I really learn about the four Niners team? So

170
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: to me, nothing's changed. I still had higher the high rating,

171
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: So I think I came on here and said I

172
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: would have taken this up to would ever was something

173
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: crazy like thirteen. I justin right because people really wearing

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: my ear and I was like, okay, I am overvaluing

175
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: clearly as fort Niners team. But they all had this

176
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: game at seven and a half eight, which is crazy

177
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: to me, and like that's why they've come in with

178
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: the public on the Seahawks team. But I'm just not

179
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: drinking a coold So now I'm getting a little worried chat.

180
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: It's feeling like a Giants Tennessee game all over again.

181
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: But luckily there are actual pros on my side of this.

182
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: But they're still they still didn't just anything. They're like

183
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: this four Nitis team this is what I felt they're

184
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna be coming to the year. Taken nothing away from

185
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: that Bears again, that was just a literal one off

186
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: tsunami freak game. Now we have trail Ants at home

187
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: playing a Seahawks team coming off a huge win. Um.

188
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: I think I saw some crazy stat that the Four

189
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: Nights just haven't played well against the Seahawks team. Since

190
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: I believe it's well, I guess who came to the Seahawks,

191
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, So maybe that was the reason why that's

192
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the team was so good against them. I just maybe

193
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: this won't be me and Chad's five because we have

194
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: other favorites fe like more. But I'm invested. I betted

195
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: down the eight and a half hit eight. I bet

196
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: it again. So it's like, what can I do? I

197
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: clearly have taken a standard on this Four Nners team.

198
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: But that was the first, definitely glaring call. The next

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: one with Carolina Pros aligned with us on Carolina. They

200
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: loved that pick against the Giants. Just what we talked about,

201
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: the seesawness of the Giants, and we can talk about

202
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: that coming up. Next one was New England, which I

203
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: am so skeptical of I don't really understand this, but

204
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: two really really smart groups hit this number, and they

205
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: hit it again, so they went up to two and

206
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: a half. And then another group I really respect came

207
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: in a hit actually Pittsburgh because again it's Tomlin at

208
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: home as a dog. I get what they're doing. Now.

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: It's like ping pong and we're going into I kind

210
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: of wanted to take New England regardless. Right, We've seen

211
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: the trend of these road teams back to back road starts.

212
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: I think was the action that we did it out chat.

213
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: It was a bed labs. But since and week two,

214
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: teams that start the season on the road week one

215
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: and then they're on the on the road again for

216
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: week two, they're eight and oh a t s since

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. My only issue with that stat is

218
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: COVID hap in the middle of that, and then the

219
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: following year was like half stadiums, right, people wearing masks still,

220
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: so there really has not been a home build advantage

221
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: from two thousand one. So it's a little bit of

222
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: a skewed stat. But I can see why people were

223
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: kind of feeling New England in this position. Again, Pittsburgh

224
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: huge division will win five turnovers and they won by

225
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: three in overtime. It's just like not a lot to

226
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: love either on this Pittsburgh side. So I am interesting

227
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: how you feel about this game. Chat we'll talk about

228
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: coming up, but I can tell you the pros love it.

229
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: They've taken a stand. They love that one and the

230
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: other one for us is gonna be the Saints every pro.

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we already made a foxhold. Bet I probably

232
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: would have made our big balls. Bet. Um, they love it.

233
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: They they're all there with us. They're just like the

234
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Saints team will just be undervalued again, is it? Dennis

235
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Allen the head coach. Ye look at his record. If

236
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: you're under the age of twenty five and you don't

237
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: remember this guy, go look up his head coaching record.

238
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: I think it was literally eight and twenty seven or

239
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: something like that career. Okay, he was bad, but I'm

240
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: kind of thinking like the view of he clearly learned

241
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: from it. They came back. Wasn't just Jameis Winson. That's

242
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: a whole mentality of a team there that came back

243
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta team. So yeah, I love love knowing

244
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: that I'm back on two big bets have already made

245
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: because I was not gonna lie to you. I was

246
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: scared about that Carolina bet, just as Baker. But the

247
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: fact that so many professionals are back on that one,

248
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: it feels it's gonna be confident. And we've seen the

249
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: number drop right, it's at two a lot of books. Now, Yeah,

250
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: you know who doesn't get scared me? I was never

251
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: scared about that that Panthers bet, I fully believe, never

252
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: nervous about the Saints. Bet. We're gonna talk about the

253
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Paths because they were on our list of teams that

254
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: we're going to think about moving in. You know, we

255
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: all know you're not scared of taking the Panthers, right.

256
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: We we heard your whole skill during the preseason. I'm

257
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: not scared of that. I'm not scary the Panthers. We know.

258
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be invalued all year. Pat, we're

259
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna talk about I'm with you on the Niners. It's

260
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: interesting to me Niner, Seahawks Bears, Packers exact same situations.

261
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: You've got two teams that are heavily favored in Week

262
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: two that lost in Week one. That a lot of

263
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: that are public teams playing against teams that upset in

264
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: week one, and those were wildly extenuating circumstances in which

265
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: both teams one. The Bears and the Seahawks in Week one,

266
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: we're both have heavy underdogs. Touchdown for the Bears, nearly

267
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown for the Seahawks. Flukish things happen in the game,

268
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: a monsoon, multiple fumbles at the goal line. There is

269
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: a massive overreaction to what the Bears and the Seahawks are,

270
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: and a massive overreaction to what people think the forty

271
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Niners and Packers no longer are. There's value in both.

272
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the nine and a half. I will

273
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: hit the eight eight and a half on the Niners.

274
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: I I might take a little taste on the Packers.

275
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm a little more skeptical, like I think the Niners

276
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: can be more of who they are this week because

277
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: last week was so strange with the rain. I'm a

278
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: little worried about the Packers just with their weapons. So

279
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: but I still love the Niners and nine and a half.

280
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: I think we're exactly on the right side and people

281
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: will be coming back and seeing how right we are.

282
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: Monday morning, we definitely we talked about that with the Bears,

283
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: right we said the value is definitely gonna be Green Bay.

284
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: The problem is we're all based on this self models.

285
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: No model can project drops, Like if Aaron's guys are

286
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: dropping those balls, what are we gonna do? So yeah,

287
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: definitely scary, but I think Chad's kind of realizing the

288
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: trends and every little thing points to in this position.

289
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: Aaron's done well every time he's been doubted anything has happened,

290
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: especially with the Bears. Like especially with the Bears for

291
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: some reason, he just performs well against him. Like I

292
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: can't tell you how much money I've lost taking Bears

293
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: in this exact spot. So I would say probably about

294
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: three or four years ago, I just flipped and it

295
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: was just like I rarely would take the Bears. That

296
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: have to be it really would have to be. Every

297
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: one in the world was on Green Bay, right. That

298
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: was one of those where it's like the three or

299
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: four points are free points to the Bears team you

300
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: are not getting this year, this is this is peak Valley.

301
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get on the Bears. Bears coming off what

302
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: was that a nine point win against a team that

303
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: got blown out in Green Bay. So I'm aligned with Chat.

304
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: It's like not gonna be one of our fives. But

305
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: it's again I hate taking these big favorites, but I

306
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: will be on Green Bay is a favorite. All right. Look,

307
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about the Saints. We talked

308
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: about the Panthers. We love them when we recorded on Tuesday.

309
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: We still love them recording today. So right now I

310
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: am saying Saints Panthers in our final five as of

311
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: right now? Well, what do you think we should we make?

312
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that Carolina takes big balls? We're taking

313
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: Baker on the road the game? You're eyeing up because

314
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think it, like I'm looking at my

315
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: seat right here. It's I mean, New England might make

316
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: me feel the grossest, but like this, this Carolina one,

317
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: it's gross. You're you're literally gotta hold your nose and

318
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you take this pick because it's like, well, the only

319
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: other one I would say, and we don't have to

320
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: put it in the final five if we want to

321
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: get too big balls. Jets j E t s Man

322
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: because I've I bet the Jets and that never moved

323
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: against me, Like I bet it. It's sick and it's

324
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: at six and a half. I love the Jets in

325
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: this spot. I stole the stat from Chris Raban and

326
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Stucky on the Action Network podcast because they had some

327
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: great stats about week two. Because week two is all

328
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: about overreaction, right, there's no data yet to make decisions.

329
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: So Week two dogs that didn't cover a week one

330
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: by seven or more the past twenty years against the

331
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: spread the next week this week, that applies to the Jets, Cardinals,

332
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: and Cowboys. By the way, we also talked about the

333
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys is a big balls I'm probably gonna play the Cowboys.

334
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: Um that numbers come down as well as eight and

335
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: a half down to seven and a half. So there

336
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: you go, uh, double digit loss in week one, six

337
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: against the spread in Week two. The past twenty years,

338
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: every trend week two dogs of six or less off

339
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: of a straight up loss against the spread. That fits

340
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers, Jacks, Jets, and Cardinals. So like in every scenario,

341
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: the Jets are coming up as a bet. I think

342
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: the Jets would be a big boss who wants to bet?

343
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: Now you're you're hunch fed on and again, this is

344
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: again a point I want to make the people about

345
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: this show. Is our whole goal here is that six percent.

346
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: More so, this is a long term bet you just

347
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: make blindly for the rest of your life every time

348
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: and you will turn their profit. Contest Wise, we don't

349
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: do that, right. We can't just throw it in because

350
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: it's a six percent clip. We need to hit above

351
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: six percent to win our contest. So like that little

352
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: edge there. I love it for long term betting. For us,

353
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't apply like are it's different rules and contests

354
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: Again later in the season, people are here, how crazy

355
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: we get with strategy. We'll literally pick games because we're

356
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: trying to catch games on people. So we're trying to

357
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: double up. We know a public's all over this in

358
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: the contest, we'll go to the other side, just try

359
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: to catch up. Even if we hate it, we gotta

360
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: do it. We'll never do that with our bets on

361
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: the show. We'll always tell you how what exactly what

362
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: I were betting where on when he's going and people

363
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: know we're on the jets. So I had the Jets

364
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: at six. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was gonna drop.

365
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: It did drop five and a half. A pro group

366
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: came in, took a position, or it could just be teasers, right.

367
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: The public came in so heavy and they teased it down.

368
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: The books are just like, all right, forget, we'll go

369
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: up to six and a half. But it's up to

370
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: six and a half, So to me, I'll take that

371
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: value again. If you've just been waiting, you might as

372
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: well wait a little longer, Like I could see this

373
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: getting seven. Especially when the injuries come out for this

374
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: Jets team, they might be down another guy in their

375
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: offensive line. You might ably get that seven. So to

376
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: me that you could wait, but I'll grab a six

377
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: and a half just in case. Jets plus six and

378
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: a half, big bald better the week. There. Here's another

379
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: thing to think about with the Jets. The total on

380
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: this game is crazy, crazy low. All right, it's at forty.

381
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: So the bookmakers are basically saying to you when they're

382
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: setting a spread that low, but said, I'm setting a

383
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: total that low, but setting a spread as high as

384
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: it is, they're kind of begging you to take the

385
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: underdog in this spot because they expect it to be

386
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: a really low scoring game and it's hard to cover

387
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: a big spread in a low scoring game, right, and

388
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: as circular, that's always favorites. I believe any any dog

389
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: over three points with a spread lower than forty it's

390
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: a crazy high cover rate, so one of those again

391
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: you know blindly play these things. But this is why

392
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: you're always looking for trends. It's an edge over the book, right,

393
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: the books they know that people have these trends. The

394
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: general republic do not know these trends. So that's again

395
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: a boring trend play. You don't need to build some

396
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: crazy math system like I built. You can just play

397
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: that trend and you will be profitable. It's there's a

398
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: reason these guys play these numbers. Oh, I love that idea.

399
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: It's like you see a total under forty, you're catching

400
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: over six points. You can do the math like you're

401
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: you're getting a lot of value in that position. So

402
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: I like that stat chet. Football season is underway, so

00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: to go back to you our final five. Get us

434
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: focused here for a second. We're putting right now, Panthers

435
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: and Saints in there. I think we both feel good

436
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: about that. But we got some other teams, right, So,

437
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Jags plus four and a half. We talked a lot

438
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: about the Jags. They're at home, divisional home dog against

439
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: a cult team that the past six seven years I

440
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: forgot they haven't won in Jacksonville. We both believe the

441
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: Jags are better than what they showed on Sunday in

442
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: that they just missed some place. They were a young

443
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: team missing plays and we're probably amped. I don't think

444
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: that happens again. I just don't think the Cults are

445
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: good enough to be more than a few ago favorite

446
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: on the road. Bang it. Jack's plus four and a

447
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: half boom and I hate it. This is probably definitely

448
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: been our contest. We just have to play. And I

449
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: can back up everything Chad just said, but it's a

450
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: simple fact of home divisional dog in week two. Not

451
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: that I want to put down the Courts and what

452
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: they've looked like, but they're just not a team that

453
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: deserves to be four points or four and a half

454
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: points favorite in this position. Like the Jaguars, like Chad

455
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: just talked about, there were really a player to a

456
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: drop or two away from stealing that game from Washington.

457
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I love love to play. It's like there's again,

458
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: there's a couple of places this week where it's like again,

459
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: I do all the work, and like then I talked

460
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: to guys, I just knew right away this is one

461
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: of those I just knew as soon as the number

462
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: was gonna come out, we're gonna be on the side

463
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: unless the Jaguars were gonna win, because I kind of

464
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars are one Houston one, what's this spread, right,

465
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe two one and a half to the Colts. I

466
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: still think they would be a favorite in this position,

467
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: just because they're wind total though, like the book still

468
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: based a lot of these early lines off wind totals,

469
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: Like the fact that New England like moved up to

470
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: whatever it was minus one against Pittsburgh. I think that

471
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: was like a wind toll thing where it's like, you know,

472
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: the the Pittsburgh was seven and a half, they were

473
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: eight eight and a half, so they gave them the

474
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: edge there. It's same in this kind of position where

475
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: it's like Colts were what nine and a half, we

476
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: were taking Jacks at six six and a half, So

477
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: I get the respect coming in on the Colts. But um,

478
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: again I like the Colts. Later in the year, Matt

479
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: Ryan gets comfortable being in a new offense on a

480
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: new team, still in a great position to fade him,

481
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: and I like what I saw for Trevor Lawrence. I've

482
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: watched that game three times now. Um, I'm just obsessed

483
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: with the Jags team. Little worrisome some of Doug Peterson's

484
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: calls on offense. Um, it's kind of feels like there's

485
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of training wheels on there with Trevor Lawrence.

486
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: But this week went in a new scheme. I'm not

487
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: trying to have to hold too much to it, but

488
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: definitely something keeping on my eye on. It's a very

489
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: basic he's running very basic offense and a little worrisome

490
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: as something that's having the invested the Jaguars were invested

491
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: in the Jaguars this week. Right now, we are invested in, uh,

492
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: the teams from my favorite divisions in football, the a

493
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: f C South and the NFC South Jack's plus four

494
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: and a half, Saints plus three, Panthers plus two and

495
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: a half. Uh. The other team on our list that

496
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: we loved forty Niners minus nine and a half. We've

497
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: talked about the Pats. I love the Niners. In this spot,

498
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel like I like the Pats a

499
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: little bit more. Yeah, I just I don't know what

500
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: the hell to do with it. Like all these other

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: pros love you too, and like I get their position

502
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: they're coming from. There's a lot of trends that favorite

503
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: what they're saying too. But I just feel like the

504
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: Patriots might be broken. Like that was is horrible. That

505
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: Miami game was truly horrible. Miami even played that well

506
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: and they kind of dominated him, Like Miami could have

507
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: easily beat them by thirty points. I mean, Mac had

508
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: no time, His receivers were not getting open. Their scheme

509
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: was just very very born. And we already talked about

510
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: this as Patricia and Judge, two guys we do not

511
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: respect or hold at any high level of like, yeah,

512
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: these guys know what they're doing coaching an offense. We

513
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: know they've never coached offense before, so I'm scared where

514
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: It's like a year ago, even I would have been

515
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: all in on this position, like this is exactly where

516
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: you take the Patriots. I don't really know what to

517
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: do with it. Like I feel like it's gonna eventually

518
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: find our way in just because guys I highly respect

519
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: are telling me to take the Patriots. Um, but I'll

520
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: tell you the favorite. I love chat like my number

521
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: one favorite favorite this week, it's gotta be the Ravens.

522
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: Like I just I keep looking at this number, and

523
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: I just keep thinking about all the everything I'm hearing

524
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: about this Miami team. Man, I love the Ravens in

525
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: this spot. I mean, a rookie head coach on the

526
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: road and first first game after a win. It's just

527
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: lining up really nice and a bunch of different little factors.

528
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: The biggest one is watching too. He's not comfortable on

529
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: that new offense. They left a lot of places in

530
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: the field of Patriots. I do not see the Ravens

531
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: making the same mistakes. Ravens offense look awful last week

532
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: in the first half. They really figured out the second

533
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 1: half like Lamar look comfortable, kind of had this thing

534
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: going to me. This is a perfect spot to take

535
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: this Ravens team. The fact that it's still under four.

536
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: I know we talked about hoping we'll get the three.

537
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Pros will let this number get

538
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: the three like they there's kind of a stance here.

539
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: We've seen the money, the tickets kind of come in

540
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: on Miami a little bit. It just just feels a

541
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: great time to take a Ravens team that they are

542
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: established or not, this up and coming team that we

543
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: think Miami is. Look, I love the Ravens here. I

544
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: only haven't bet then because I've been waiting for them

545
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: to get to the three, which is fair, you know,

546
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: But if you don't think it's going to get there,

547
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't then you know what I'm gonna do? You

548
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: know what, you don't have to though you can wait.

549
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: I just the only reason I'm taking the three is

550
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: because I just don't want to get it. I don't

551
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: want it to go back to four, Like I just

552
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: want to be safe. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel.

553
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: But like again, I do still love the four nine ers.

554
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: It's just do I feel in my in my core

555
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: what exactly I know I'm getting from the Ravens. I

556
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: really do like the Ravens. Just feel like I know

557
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: who they are. Um Lamar, I know exactly he is.

558
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: He's one of the best players in the regular season.

559
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: The guy kind of lets it, lets it, let's choke

560
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: a little bit in the playoffs. But in Week two,

561
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: in this position with this team healthy, Um, I think

562
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Stanley is supposed to be back for their offensive line.

563
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: It's just it's a nice position to take a Baltimore

564
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: Ravens team that I don't know. They're just not really

565
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: being talked about as much. I think they should be,

566
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: just because they beat the Jets team where the Miami

567
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: team was just getting so much hype, just because they

568
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: look so good against what could be a bad Patriots scene.

569
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Uh, let's put let's put the

570
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: Ravens in. Do we take the forty Niners out? Yeah?

571
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: I switched them out, all right, Ravens are in, uh too.

572
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: Other games that we've talked right now, we have Jags,

573
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: Saints Panthers, Ravens minus three and a half, so we

574
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: have four Uh, Niners are out. I got like three

575
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: games too that I'm like fighting not put in the

576
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: last spot. All right, Well, we have listed on Tuesday

577
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: Titans plus ten, Eagles minus one and a half them,

578
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: but it's it's tough. Well before we do that anything else,

579
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: because we had one other game that we kind of targeted,

580
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: which was the Raiders and the Cardinals. No, I mean,

581
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: I still I like the Raiders play, but there's just

582
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: other other games I like more like Again, it's that's

583
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: the hardest thing. It's like, I love a lot of games,

584
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: but as a pro, I try to get it down

585
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: at two sides and one total or two totals on

586
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: one side. Honestly, when I'm making like substantial bets in

587
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: these early weeks here, how about everything. But I'm saying,

588
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: like I'm putting a lot on certain things. Um to me,

589
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders, I like that number, but I don't know

590
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: if it's gonna make my top ten of my biggest bets.

591
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: So it's just it's just not what I'm heavy on.

592
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: Just because I think you lost the best number. It

593
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: was two and a half, three and a half all

594
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: up to five and a half. It's kind of a

595
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: weird dead number. So you said you had three. I

596
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: just mentioned two of them. I mentioned Titans plus ten,

597
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: Eagles minus one and a half? Who am I missing

598
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: for games? We didn't talk about that. I like, yeah,

599
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: Hotlanta starting to really drink the kool aid here. I

600
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: just watching their scheme. I love the run scheme they

601
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: have and it's just a fun, fun team. Where the Rams,

602
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're they should be catching ten

603
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: and a half against many teams, especially at Atlanta, which

604
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: I just don't see Atlanta being in many games year.

605
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: They're just gonna be one of these teams, kind of

606
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: like the Lions last year. I can just see them

607
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: always being in these close games. Um, it's all about

608
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: what number we get in the contest. Again, if it's

609
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: nine and a half, I would not do it. But

610
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: if it was ten and a half, still like close

611
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: to eleven. I like that number a lot for this

612
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta team. UM. I guess the only pauses the trends

613
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: of McVeigh extended rest after a loss. It's been good

614
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: to him. But I just love this Atlanta run team.

615
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: Like everything about the style of offense they play. They slow.

616
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna slow games down against the team like Stafford

617
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: and an offensive like to pass it, it's gonna be

618
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: hard to get in a rhythm against that kind of style.

619
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: So we saw that with New Orleans, right, Atlanta controlled

620
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: that whole game and also in the fourth quarter once

621
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: Winston got into a little bit of rhythm, he put

622
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: up sixteen straight points. So to me, like, that's that's

623
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the negative of it, where it's like if they go

624
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: three and out, their their defense could be in trouble.

625
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: But uh, because again Atlanta's defense is definitely a weakness.

626
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: But to me, it's a lot of points to be

627
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: give into a RAMS team that they just don't look right.

628
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: And again I don't take too much of just one game,

629
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: but it wasn't just like one two or little a

630
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: couple of mistakes, like a lot of issues on their

631
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: offensive line, got issues a Stafford and what he was doing,

632
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: and their defensive side of the ball, they just they're there.

633
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: They did not look prepared like on the defensive side,

634
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: which is a worry for me. So, yeah, that's too

635
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: many points to be getting a given this Rams team.

636
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Uh of the money coming in on

637
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: the Falcons right now, jeez, hopefully that's prone one because

638
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: that's scary. I guess they are a little bit of

639
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: a public dog, but all these all these big dogs

640
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: are public dogs because Atlantic covered, Houston covered, Seahawks covered,

641
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: and who am I fregatting Houston covered. So it's like

642
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: all four of these big underdogs they burned people last week.

643
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: There were Joe public and been on all these favorites.

644
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: So now they're thinking, Okay, these dogs I lost were

645
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: now all getting ten or more points, nine or more points.

646
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: I might as well just take them. So again it's

647
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: a big overreaction week. I'm not normally on a bunch

648
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: of double digit favorites, but like I like Green Bay,

649
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: I like San France, and I kind of like Broncos.

650
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: So it's it's a rare, rare from merom on the

651
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: big favorites. What do we think of? All right, So

652
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: let's put a pin in the Falcons right now, because

653
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: we also had the Titans plus ten against Buffalo and

654
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: we had the Eagles minus one and a half. I

655
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: kind of love the Eagles right now. Yeah, And I

656
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: think someone said it to me. I don't know if

657
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: how accurate is. I probably should have reached out to Evan,

658
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: but Kirk Cousins and Monday Night Games is three and

659
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: nine at s, which sounds about right right if you

660
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: think about his career and all the jokes we make

661
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: at his expense. Um. Another big thing for me was

662
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay had their left tackle on right tickle out

663
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: of that game and they had no good receivers. Now

664
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense is going against arguably the best offensive

665
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: line of football A J. Brown and Davante Smith. Jalen

666
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: Hurts has been great out was on the top quarterbacks

667
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: in football since he's become a starter. Like again, I

668
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: don't trust him sometimes, like his reads are terrible. His legs, though,

669
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: are such a weapon. Only only quarterback to run for

670
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: more first downs last year or year last year and

671
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: a half is Lamar Jackson. We know how good Lamar.

672
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: So I love the upside of this Egos team. I

673
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: think the public is kind of figuring out where. Again,

674
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting hearing from pros that they just we talked

675
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: about before the season. They were down this Egos team.

676
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: They bet they're underwin total, which I didn't really get.

677
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: They just didn't believe in Hurts. They didn't believe this defense.

678
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: So the Eagles defense got great. Was the worst tackling

679
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: team in Week one thirties they're the thirty second team.

680
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: They literally had the most mis tackles, the most broken

681
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: tackles on again on their defense. That's huge. They addressed

682
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: it this week. They've been talking about all a week.

683
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: I know that's something you can't just change in a week,

684
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: but that's great. They won a game with a glaring

685
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: weakness and how they can improve on it this week

686
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: leading up to a Vikings game in prime time. So

687
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: I get why these pros I've talked to they don't

688
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: like the Egos defense and they think this is gonna

689
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: be a shootout, and then the shootout they favored this

690
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Vikings team. But I just again, I just think this

691
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: Eagos team is just being overlooked in a bunch of

692
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: different aspects. So I still love it. That's the hardest point.

693
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: It's like, I love Tennessee too. If we're gonna do

694
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: on Monday night game, we can't do too. We have

695
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: to pick one and kind of like the bullet Well, look,

696
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: I think it's to me. I get what you're saying

697
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: about the Falcons. Yeah, I like these two more than Falcons. Honestly,

698
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I like these two more than the Falcons, and I

699
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: think I lean Eagles I'm getting a very short home

700
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 1: favorite on a Monday night game, their opening game at home,

701
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: and it to me, I love this team. I think

702
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: they have such a higher ceiling than what they're even

703
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: being given credit for right now. And I'm not a

704
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: believer in Kirk Cousins and the Vikings, yet I think

705
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: they did it against a green Bay team that is

706
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: severely deficient. They're just getting too much credit for it.

707
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: And they left. We talked about lean plays in the field.

708
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay left a lot of plays in the field.

709
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: That's a lot of plays in the field. And and

710
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: I think that some people will just look at the

711
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: final score of the Eagles game and see that it

712
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: was thirty five and not realize how thoroughly they beat

713
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: the lines. And so I don't know that they're getting

714
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: enough credit for the win. And I think the number

715
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: is a little depressed because of that. I think it's

716
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles minus one and a half and like and again,

717
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: anything under three to me is a good number. The

718
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: fact you're getting one and a half now is even better. Um.

719
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: It's just I'm honestly surprised, though the love by the

720
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: pros and the Vikings, because this has been a notorious

721
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: spot for almost all pros that fade the Vikings like

722
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: you just this is when you kind of get off.

723
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: A team has a huge divisional win at home. Now

724
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: they're going on the road in a primetime game with

725
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach. Just how happens it's Kirk Cousins

726
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know, it's just interesting that pros

727
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: are actually buying into this Viking type where I kind

728
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: of am too. Like we talked about, I don't I

729
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: don't hate the idea of bet in their Super Bowl

730
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: future because the NFC is so down right now, but man,

731
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a weird feeling come January. And it's

732
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: like I'm sitting on a Kirk Cousins ticket. He's playing

733
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady and what we're old? Am I really

734
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: feeling confident in that game? Like that's the whole thing

735
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: about doing these kind of future bets. So yeah, for

736
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: a week two as you sit here chat, I love

737
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles in this position. Um, I was hoping you're

738
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk to me the Titans just because I'm such

739
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: a homer. But when it comes to gamlet, I'm not

740
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: like I'm all four fading the Eagles because I win

741
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: both worlds. Like last week we hit the cover on

742
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: Detroit and my Eagles and the Eagles one, like, yeah,

743
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: it sucked my money line and come through on the lines,

744
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: but it's the best of both worlds. So to me,

745
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: I'd be much more happy to take the vikings here.

746
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: But it's just a bad number and the public is

747
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: making it so they bet this down our final five

748
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: as of right now, Jack's plus four and a half,

749
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: Saints plus three, Panthers plus two and a half, two favorites,

750
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: Ravens minus three and a half, Eagles minus one and

751
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: a half, only one road team, which is a little scary,

752
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really matter knocking on the door. We're

753
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: betting numbers. We're not betting. We're not trying to find balance. Okay,

754
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: I love balance, Yeah, but these are each these are

755
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: these are disconnected decisions. Each one we are believing in

756
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: in and of itself. We do not have to find

757
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: the perfect sort of formula here. We just need to

758
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: find the five games we feel great about, and with

759
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: one wins, it doesn't have an impact on the other

760
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: one winning or losing. These are five picks. I've just

761
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: laid them out to review for everybody. Simon says, for

762
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: the Niners minus nine and a half, we chose that

763
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Still like it, both of us like a

764
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: foxhol Saints plus three exact decision. I chose that on Tuesday,

765
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: Jack's plus four and a half survivor. For those who

766
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: had to choose block on Thursday, we chose the Bengals.

767
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: I still lean Bengals. I like the Broncos to well. Well.

768
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: I had a couple of people bring up to me

769
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: that that's probably the good choice next week Bengals there

770
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: at the Jets, which I said, it's fair like we're

771
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: doing the look ahead. Unfortunately, my guy travised and put

772
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: out his articles. I couldn't cheat. We do feel good

773
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: about green Bay or the n is one of these

774
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: big favorites I saw. The Bengals was nice because they

775
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: aren't such a tough division. But that's a good point

776
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: by people saying they do play the Jets next week. Again,

777
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: next week is tough. I like, I really picked up

778
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: look aheadlines while already working on one week, but that

779
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: is one of the ones that stand out kind of

780
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: the the Vikings play the lines, which is another go

781
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: one next week, so obviously you could do that, but

782
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: for this week, if you're already locked the Bengals again,

783
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: don't hate it, but what do you think about? Would

784
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: you do Green Bay or um the four Niners over

785
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals and save them for next week because only

786
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: we only have one left. We can't do two again,

787
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: We're down to one contest. I might do the Broncos

788
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: Broncos Okay, I actually really like that. Yeah, I'll do that,

789
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: and I'll check your schedule and make sure there's no

790
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: other layups. But this this feels as good as it's

791
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna get right in that division. Our big balls better

792
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: the week is the New York Jets. These are Phase

793
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: five Jack's plus four and a half, Saints plus three,

794
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: Panthers plus two and a half, Eagles one and a half,

795
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Ravens minus three and a half. It's time for scooch Roulette.

796
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: When all hope is lost, all that's left is relief.

797
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: Let's play don't roulette, Simon. We both won last week,

798
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: so I will defer to you. I really want to

799
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: go Ravens because I know it's like my favorite kind

800
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: of bet so far this week. But I'm feeling most

801
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: confident in the Saints. There's just something about the Saints

802
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: in this position at home. I just love the Saints

803
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: going against Tom. They're just it feels like the stock

804
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: on Tom's kind of going down here in the Saints

805
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 1: is going up, and that the Saints should be minus

806
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: two and a half, not plus two and a half.

807
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: So in fact, I'm getting what feels like a four

808
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: point difference is is enough for me. I can't pass on,

809
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: So I'll do the Saints. In my scutlet pick, you

810
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: will take the Saints, I'm writing that down. I will

811
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: take the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know what, it's the very

812
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: is bet that I made. I think I made it

813
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday night when it was four and a half.

814
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: I looked at the lines while watching the Sunday night game.

815
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: I saw all these numbers. The two things that stood

816
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: out to me were the Chargers plus four and a

817
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: half and the Jags plus four and a half. I

818
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: bet the Jags right away. I'm still feeling good about it. No,

819
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean again, that's that's such a fun

820
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: point about week do. It's like as soon as those

821
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: lines open, we kind of already knew what we were

822
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna do. All right, I want to remind people download

823
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: the Action Network Gap follow the phase five to get

824
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: our final locked picks for our contest. Those would be

825
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: the five picks follow the Favorites podcast. I know it's confusing,

826
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: but we separated it so we could actually have fidelity

827
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: to the five picks that we choose every week and

828
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: people can see how we do at the end of

829
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: the year. That's why we separated the two handles the

830
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 1: Favorites podcast, you'll get Simon says, exact decision, Foxhole, Big Balls,

831
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: Scoot Rouette. Oh, Simon, we didn't do our money line

832
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: round Robin, Okay, sure this one. I honestly took a

833
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: long look at it, just because usually I try to

834
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: get a lot of home dogs. We have a lot

835
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: of home dogs this week, so it was a tougher,

836
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: tougher choices. But the first one that jumped out Carolina Saints.

837
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: Chad knows real love these dogs, Jaguars, no brainers, and

838
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, who are upside dogs? You could

839
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: take that the outside chance of actually pulling these upsets.

840
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: First one that jumped out was Atlanta, the Atlanta Rams.

841
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: One that's gonna be such a huge number. I gotta

842
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: throw it in. People know I love big dogs. This

843
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: is my favorite big dog of the week. I had

844
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: to throw it in there. And who the hell is

845
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland if you getting so many points? Chad knows the

846
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,479
Speaker 1: Jets this is such a gross money line or dog,

847
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: but I do I do love the Jets to actually

848
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: have a chance of pulling it upset in this position. Okay, So,

849
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: like people are asking how how much you break it

850
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: out two times five And if you don't know what

851
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: that means, just go on the Action app. They'll they'll

852
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: give you a breakdown on what different ways you can

853
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: do around Robbins. It's the safest, most boring way to

854
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: do it. Like last week you went to two on one,

855
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: you don't lose all your money. You got a little

856
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: bit of money back. Where if you go three times

857
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: or four times, you need three or four these underdogs

858
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: to win, which is just it's really hard. So I

859
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: do two by five all right again? Download the Action

860
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,520
