00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast presented by BED three

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: sixty five. We are part of the Action Network and

3
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: live from our Tommy John Holmes Studios. I am Chad

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Millman of the Action Network. This is our Sunday night episode.

5
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: We will review the five picks we put into the

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Favorites contest, discuss why we left some out, preview the

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: early lines we already like for Week twelve. I'm joined

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: as always by my co host, my companion, my Campadre,

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: my BFF professional Better Simon Hunter Ellosa.

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: I'm in, Hello, Chad. Hey, I want to say sorry

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: about your Bears, but at least we had a winning week.

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: I have such little expectations when it comes to the

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Bears that the fact they played great for the Bears

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: and still lost the way they did is entirely on

15
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: par and the fact that Matt Ibraflus considered himself to

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: be a coaching genius who decides, yeah, I've got a

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: time out, I've got thirty seconds left in the game.

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: I can do something like maybe center the ball or

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: even hand the ball off and gain five extra yards

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: so my kick can have a little bit more loft,

21
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: so it's not a line drive as a longer kick

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: from a guy who does not have the biggest leg

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: in the world. But whatever Matt Ebraflus does, Matt Ebraflus,

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: it's why he won't be the coach of the Bears,

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: why he shouldn't been in the coach of the Bears

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: this season. The good news for us, we did have

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: an early day or a winning day, and thanks to

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: the early games, I feel like this was the most

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: stress free contest Sunday we have had all season. We're

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: three and two. Only one of those games was a

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: blowout that was the Lions. Even the games that were

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: in question, though in the early minutes, until in the

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: early games, until the final minutes, felt like we had

34
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: an edge. I'd argue that even the last game of

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: the day, which was the Chiefs and the Bills, we

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: felt like we had an edge because who would you

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: rather have have the ball that Patrick mahomes in the

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: final sixty seconds of a game. We'll get to all

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: of that. Catch every episode of The Favorites live on YouTube.

55
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: All right.

56
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Our only loss from the early slate was the Cleveland Browns.

57
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: You tried to walk me off it. I said, we

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: have to do it. It'll be good for the show. You

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: know what. The problem with the good for the show

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: logic is, which we have done often in our time together, Simon.

61
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: It's terrible for the record. Terrible for the record. The

62
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Browns had more plays we had the Browns plus half

63
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: a point. They ended up his favorites close to two

64
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: more plays, more passing yards, more first downs. They also

65
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: had only three point three yards per carry, were sacked

66
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: three times, when three or thirteen on third downs. This

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the game where they and the

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: ball down the Saints' throats and their defense was amazing,

69
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: and none of that happened.

70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got Taysom Hill. I mean Taysom Hill. I

71
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: think I had like one hundred and thirty yards rushing,

72
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: three touchdowns. It's just one of those games. I never

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: trusted it, but you loved it. The number agreed with you,

74
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: I mean professionals bet at with you. And then it

75
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: felt like everybody was giving it out and it's like,

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: oh man, is anyone taking the Saints here? It was

77
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: just all Cleveland. So yeah, that was that was a miss.

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: But it's it's just it's a tough year. Like there's

79
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: other games like I wish you would have loved more,

80
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: but you know I got while you were comping this game,

81
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: it's like, let's fade this Saints team after emotional win,

82
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: and you know, they looked ready, they looked prepared for

83
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: this game. You can't stay the same for Cleveland. Cleveland

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: just looked really dysfunctional that whole game. And yeah, they

85
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: got out played by the Saints, so yeah tough. I mean,

86
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: like you just said, though, they got blown out. So

87
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: it was like I had that one on the TV screen.

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: I just switched it off after a little while because

89
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: it's like, this is not We're not coming back. We're

90
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: down fourteen. At one point, I was like, we're not

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: getting back from this. This is not not where you

92
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: want Jameis Winston to be leading you back. Even though

93
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: he actually didn't play that bad. I will say like

94
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: he had a pretty incredible throw in the corner of

95
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: the end zone. But Jamis the defense just no showed

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: absolutely no show by the defense of Cleveland. So they're

97
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: what two and eight, Now, that's a team that's totally

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: done with the season.

99
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean our biggest fear in this game was

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Jamis actually didn't make any mistakes. The problem was their

101
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: defense didn't get any pressure. Like the premise for this

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: game was their defense would get pressure. Yeah, her defense

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: would cause Derek Carr to make the mistakes that he

104
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: always makes when he's under pressure. Because he had been

105
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: so good last week, we thought they were overvalued this

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: week by starting as a favorite. Derek Carr ended up

107
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty seven. Meanwhile, the Browns did not

108
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: stop the run. The Saints gained two hundred and ten

109
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: yards on the ground average seven yards per carry. Like pathetic,

110
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: pathetic display off of a bye against a team that

111
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: has no proven players on the edge offensively, But none

112
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: of that is as pathetic as Dustin Hopkins. Did you

113
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: see any of that?

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: I did now. I saw the game on when he

115
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: was missing all those field goals.

116
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: Dustin Hopkins missed multiple field goals in the first half,

117
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: including a thirty two yarder that was waved off because

118
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: of a New Orleans penalty. They gave the Browns a

119
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: first down on the restarted series. I'm in my head,

120
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck, Jamies is gonna throw like a pick,

121
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: so there's gonna be no chance to even kick a

122
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: shorter field goal. So of course he almost throws a

123
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: pick in the red zone. The Browns end up having

124
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: to try another field goal. Well, this time Dustin Hopkins

125
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: missus from twenty seven all around. It was. It was

126
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: now almost from the get go. They went for two

127
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: when they were down seven to six, and they scored

128
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: like just all around a bad game for the Browns.

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're just a really bad team, bad team.

130
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: We tried getting cue of it. I thought we were smart,

131
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: should just listen to our instincts, where we knew that

132
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: at plus three it was okay to take it. It was

133
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: a good number. Once it had moved as much as

134
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: it did, we should have known just stay away, And

135
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: unfortunately we did not, even though like it was a

136
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: game that we had locked in that you know, if

137
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: we had updated our picks this morning, maybe would it

138
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: have taken out because we would have had a bad

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: number on it. But yeah, unfortunately that was a game

140
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: you loved, and I really didn't hate it enough to

141
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: take it out, just because what we talked about the

142
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: Saints team, it's like they're a bad team as well.

143
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: Both these teams are bad. One team is clearly worse

144
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: right now, and that's Cleveland.

145
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also I think we just at the end

146
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: of the day, I would have been okay taking it out.

147
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: We thought we had the best of the number, and

148
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: while it hasn't mattered. It's still a bad habit to

149
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: bet against it. So we left it. There were two

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: games I think we could have put in there. I've

151
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: got those marked for after we get through our five.

152
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore at Pittsburgh. We had Pittsburgh three and a half.

153
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Congrats on us for not overthinking. Congrats on us for

154
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger on the most obvious bet on the board.

155
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Going back to last Sunday night, all the Tomlin trends

156
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: as a dog, all the Tomlin trends as a dog

157
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: at home, all the trends of Harbaugh is a favorite,

158
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: Lamar is a favorite. The trends for the underdogs in

159
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: this series, all of them went the way they have

160
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: been going for the past twenty years. Hooray.

161
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, my best bad days. Like you just said, it's

162
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: the easy ones that are hard to you know, take.

163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: Like I was with you earlier in the week, I

164
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: was like, is there something I'm missing because I didn't

165
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: get why it was still three and a half. Even today,

166
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: there was a bunch of books here in Jersey that

167
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: were still three and a half, and it just never

168
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: made sense. It's like, why aren't there professionals hammering this number.

169
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Why is this not three or two and a half

170
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: by kickoff? So that was the only thing that kind

171
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: of scared me because it felt like you just said,

172
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: way too easy. We know this matchup, we know Lamar

173
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: struggles against Pittsburgh whatever that weird voodoo is, and little

174
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: do we know it's their kicker that it cost it

175
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: for him. I mean, the Ravens, I don't know what

176
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna do. Justin Tucker, I mean, we've all been

177
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: thinking it that he's cooked. It's tough to deny it.

178
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: Like this guy can't hit him over fifty. Now he's

179
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: missing the ones under fifty, which he just never did.

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: It's tough when you're a kicker, you hit that wall

181
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's just different. And he

182
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: is a liability of this team right now. And we

183
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: got lucky for once with a kicker because, like you

184
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: just talked, with the kickers missing, at one point, we

185
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: had the Cleveland kicker miss and then they cut to

186
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: the Rams kicker missing, and then it cut to this

187
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: game with him missing. Justin Tucker, I'm like, okay, at

188
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: least we got one out of the three games here

189
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: going our way. But yeah, for once, Pittsburgh's kicker made

190
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: all his kicks for us, and we like we joke

191
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: that game is the easiest bet we make all year.

192
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: That matchup. It's you take whoever the dog is and

193
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: you bet the under, and both things were no sweats today.

194
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 2: The plus three and a half was never in doubt,

195
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: the under was never in doubt. So I wish they

196
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: could all be that easy. Sometimes the trends are just

197
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: that good chat you just can't overthink and just have

198
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: to bet these smart trends.

199
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: Well, the Steelers did make us a little bit anxious,

200
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: I will say, because they could not score touchdowns and

201
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: against Lamar Jackson, against the Ravens, as good as the

202
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Steelers defense is, and it was it was lights out today.

203
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: If you're not scoring touchdowns and you're getting the red

204
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: zone and you're only kicking field goals, you do leave

205
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: yourself open to being vulnerable to losing your bet and

206
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: losing that game, right, And there was a period in

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: the first half it felt like the Ravens could dominate

208
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: this game if they were able to get one or

209
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the first half, like convert one of those,

210
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: and they did towards the end of the first half,

211
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: but it felt like this whole game in the first

212
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: half was played between the forties right and just a

213
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: field goal kicking contest, and the Steelers kept getting it.

214
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: Did you ever feel nervous about this at all? Because

215
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit anxious about it when we

216
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: got into the second half and the Steelers like could

217
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: not get into the end zone.

218
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: No, these games are just really stupid. I mean, it's

219
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: just that all the turnovers they had as well Pittsburgh

220
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: and like you just said, they won the game, and

221
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: the Ravens scored two touchdowns, they scored zero touchdowns. Like

222
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: it's just that's how these games are. So it's like,

223
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I know people hate these teven games.

224
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: These are literally my favorite football games to watch. It's

225
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: like I love just ugly underdog, low scoring games with

226
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: the under and it's just like that's just my favorite

227
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: type of football. I know it's sickening for most people.

228
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: As a better it's just so much fun to watch

229
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: because every point matters so much. So I maybe you're right,

230
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 2: maybe the only part of me that really thought anxious

231
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: with the very end win. You know they're going for

232
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: two and it's just like Okay, could we lose this,

233
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: because then go to overtime and somehow Lamar gets the

234
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: six and we do lose. But honestly, the whole game

235
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: never really worried about it. I mean, I think we

236
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: started the game out the gates of what up six nothing,

237
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: The Ravens scored seven to six. Then at half it's

238
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: it's nine to seven. It's like, okay, as long as

239
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: they keep these this weird type of score, we're going

240
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: to cover this three and a half for three, Like

241
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: that's that's what we needed, is just a weird number

242
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: to land on it.

243
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: At fifteen ten, the Steelers were near the Ravens goal line.

244
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson got pressured. He threw the ball out of

245
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: bounds and out of the end zone, and my son,

246
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: who was sitting next to me, said, I feel like

247
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: he is in this game. I feel like he is

248
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: constantly throwing the ball away, and in my I said

249
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: out loud, that's what we like about him right now,

250
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: as opposed to someone like justin Fields. He's he's not

251
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: trying to reach very next play touchdown or interception in

252
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone and what could have

253
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: been an eighteen to ten lead turns into a Ravens

254
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: with the ball. Unfortunately, like it played out our way

255
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: and everything you said, here's the most important thing. Ravens

256
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: are now seven and four, Steelers are eight and two.

257
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: The Ravens have looked terrible at times offensively, especially against

258
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: good teams. So what do we take away from this

259
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: about the Ravens right now?

260
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: I mean, nothing's really changed. I thought they Honestly, I thought, okay,

261
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: those of I'll figure it out and win this division.

262
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, Pittsburgh now just being the Commanders and then

263
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: turn around and winning this game. It's like, how do

264
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: we not give them their flowers and take them more serious?

265
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's their their division now. But the

266
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: Ravens I was just already out on like I had

267
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: zero futures on them for the super Bowl, just because

268
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: we talk I thought last year was the peak, it

269
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: was the perfect year. This year there's gonna be too

270
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: many holes when you're paying Lamar while you're paying them,

271
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: like we're like we even talked to the Chiefs. Yet

272
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: you're seeing that with the Chiefs, right, they can't afford

273
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 2: any offensive lineman because they're giving so much money to

274
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: Mahomes and a couple other guys. So it's the same

275
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: with the Ravens. It's like, yeah, big deal that they

276
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: got Derek.

277
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

278
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: You know, Henry, he's been a game changer for them,

279
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: but they allocated money there and they've gone cheap in

280
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: other places, and you've kind of seen it this year.

281
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: It's just it's all on the mark. When he's not

282
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: on this one hundred percent a game, they're they're they're

283
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: a team you can beat, and you're you're right, Like

284
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, if he was a little better in this game,

285
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: the pittsfordh Steers probably would have rolled them like they

286
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: were moving the ball up and down the field, and

287
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: they just couldn't finish those drives. I will say, I

288
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: just remember there's one moment I was freaked out. It

289
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: was with Justin Fields. He could have got an easy

290
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: first down. He slid early to get the second and

291
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: two or second and one. Yeah, get this guy out here.

292
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: His field awareness is just zero.

293
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: He slid a yard early.

294
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

295
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: So instead of going first down and basically ending the game,

296
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: it kept the drive. It allowed the Steelers to call

297
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: time or the Ravens called time out. That was ridiculous.

298
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: A man, I don't care how the other thirty one

299
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: to doing it.

300
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Rams at New England. We bet the Rams four and

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: a half. We liked them all week, but when we

302
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: discussed it this morning, this was the game you were

303
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: most worried about.

304
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: Tell me why just for what I bet personally? Because

305
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: I told you I didn't really get the movement like

306
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: I was. I told you I was up all night

307
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: and they were down to three and a half and

308
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: I was betting it, but I was just like, what

309
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: is happening? Who is hitting this other side so heavy?

310
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna lie. I really did think we

311
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: were gonna get drake me at the end of that game.

312
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: It was just like they somehow didn't get that first

313
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: down the Rams when they could have done whatever they wanted.

314
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: It seems like every player they wanted to make is

315
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: easy with Cooper, Cup or Puka, but Stafford's like, now

316
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: let me throw it to my third tight end or

317
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: some random other guy on the outside. It's like, just

318
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: go to your best guys in these tight moments, Stafford,

319
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: come on, I don't care if they're covered. But yeah,

320
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: they punted up six. I thought, oh my god, I

321
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: can't believe this is gonna happen just because I mean,

322
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: they dominated that game, the Rams. They were clearly the

323
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: better side. But Drake May's got some moxie. That team.

324
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: They don't quit. They let him hang around. I think

325
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: at one point they were up I don't know if

326
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: we were up fourteen or maybe it was fifteen, a

327
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: random number. And you know, he comes down and gets

328
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: that touchdown and now we're only up six, and it's like, okay,

329
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: I thought the number should be six. Hopefully my model

330
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: is right and the Land's right on six, because that's

331
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: the whole reason we took this number, is like it's

332
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: under six. We think we're getting a good number here,

333
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: and the public was overacting that Patriots team, and they did.

334
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: That's what ended up being the number moved too much.

335
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: We got a good number. LANDA ray Ward should have

336
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: been Yeah, that's that was a nice cover. That was

337
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: a nice game. We talked about predicted hung in there,

338
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: kept it in there, and it was a good cover.

339
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: That was a game where it just felt like the

340
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Rams were playing with their food. Yeah, you know like

341
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: that they were. They were so much better than the Patriots,

342
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: and in the first quarter, like the Patriots were making plays,

343
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: they were getting momentum, they were building confidence, and then

344
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: from the second quarter through the third quarter, the Rams

345
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: basically went on a twenty eight to three run and

346
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: they were up twenty eight to ten. The Patriots score

347
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown at the end of the third twenty eight

348
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: seventeen sixteen or something like that. Then they get that

349
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 1: last touchdown. I was definitely thinking we're fucked because they

350
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: went back to sort of playing with their food in

351
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: the same way we hit the Saints last week at

352
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: the exact right spot. I feel like we got the

353
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Rams this week in the exact right spot. So the

354
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: challenge will be looking ahead. They've got the Eagles. It's

355
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: a primetime game, their dogs at home against the Eagles.

356
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to be excited to talk about that game

357
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: with you when we get to the week twelve lines.

358
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Detroit. This was our Big Balls bet of the week,

359
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: first time we've ever done a double digit favorite for

360
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: Big Balls Bet of the Week. We had Detroit minus

361
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: twelve and a half. As they say in Hollywood, no else.

362
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: Hello Detroit.

363
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: No.

364
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: That was the dream. That was a game we loved.

365
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: We both bet a bunch on and even if you're

366
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: betting a bad number, Like I even bet a couple

367
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 2: thirteen and a halfs and it's like, I should just

368
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 2: wait and maybe it goes back to thirteen. But I

369
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: was just I just felt like it was only going

370
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: to go up to fourteen by kickoff, but professionals held

371
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: that line, like that number really did budge back down

372
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: from fourteen to thirteen and a half. And you know,

373
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: we obviously had a good number in the contest. I

374
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: think we've bad twelve and a half, But wouldn't it mattered,

375
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: Like we even joked about, like these ermers really haven't

376
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 2: mattered for us so much in the contest. I mean,

377
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: two and a half's havelf, but other numbers, for the

378
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: most part, it's not really been landing on those numbers

379
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: as much. So that was the game where we were

380
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: final leaving it in even at a bad number. Honestly,

381
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: even at fourteen and a half, it'd have been like,

382
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'll keep it in just because I

383
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: rather have that in than the Colts and end up

384
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: being the Colts being a great bet. So yeah, that

385
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: was a great bet. What was it twenty eight to

386
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: three to start the game. That's what you need when

387
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: you bet these huge favorites, It's like you just need

388
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: a roll to completely take the other team's will. And

389
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: that's what happened. I mean, the Jaguars quit instantly like

390
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: I think they had. They started the game with three

391
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: straight rushing touchdowns, and you know, it just looked like

392
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: the Jaguars were playing in mud. And this Detroit team

393
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: is just not like they're just incredibly talented. I saw

394
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: a lot of books move them to be the odds

395
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: on favorite right now for the Super Bowl. Makes sense,

396
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: like if they get home field and they're running like this,

397
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: you don't need Aiden Hutchinson if you're putting up you know,

398
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: thirty five forty points on any giving team, any given night.

399
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, we know the deal. When this Detroit team

400
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: plays bad team Chad, we can't overreact and get word,

401
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: I've been these big numbers we just got taken. I

402
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: think now Evan could correct me if I'm wrong. I

403
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: believe double did your favorites now five and zero against

404
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 2: the spread this season.

405
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: So I looked at this game and to me, it

406
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: was the get Jared Goff the MVP game. Like Dan

407
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Campbell saw what happened last week with it, you know,

408
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: when they when they came back and with the five

409
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: picks this week, four hundred and twelve yards. I think

410
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: he was twenty four of twenty nine four touchdowns. They

411
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: kept the pedal to the medal the entire time. It's

412
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: almost like somebody was in Ben Johnson and Dan Campbell's

413
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 1: ear telling them, Okay Lamar is now completing fewer than

414
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: fifty percent of his passes. Of course, this was all

415
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: before the Bills played the Chiefs, which we'll get to

416
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: because that was our final game of the day. So

417
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: we went into the last game three and one on

418
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: the day, Patrick Mahomes as a dog and dude, twelve

419
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: minutes left, they're down twenty three fourteen. I say to myself,

420
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are dominating this game, like time the possession

421
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Really they had two good drives, but the

422
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Bills were playing better than the Chiefs were. And I

423
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: thought to myself, this is why we bet on Patrick Mahomes,

424
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: because in this moment, that's who you want to have

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: the ball. And I believe that right until the last

426
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: play of the game. Didn't work out for us, but

427
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: I never regretted betting on Patrick Mahomes.

428
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 2: The Bills.

429
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: Make me want something, throw your hands something, throw your

430
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: hand back to come.

431
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: Now the Bills. I'm making it happen now. Yeah, it

432
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: was a great run. It hurts, but you know I

433
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: make that bet every time, and we saw how it

434
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: could have worked out for us. It's pretty simple. It

435
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: was fourth and two. Josh Allen's up two. If he

436
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: gets stuff there, who knows, right, the Mahomes either drives

437
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: the field scores or he gets stuffed and that game's over.

438
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: We cover the two and a half. I hit my

439
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: under bet. It would have been really nice. Josh Allen

440
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: had a big moment right MVP moment he stepped up

441
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs for some reason didn't run a QB spine on,

442
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: which was just to me bizarre because it's like Matt

443
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: Mitchell said it. It just felt like it was a momentere

444
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's like, this is going to be in my hands,

445
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: Like I'm not gonna let someone take this moment from me.

446
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: I think he is now four and one. Maybe I

447
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: could be wrong. Four and one straight up against Mahomes

448
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 2: in the regular season, which is pretty insane. Yeah, but yeah,

449
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: pretty big time play by Josh Allen and Yeah, that

450
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: was a really fun playoff game that came down to

451
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: two or three plays that didn't go our way. And yeah,

452
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: the worst part of it's the teasers didn't cover either

453
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: for Mahomes, which head into that spot. I think Evan

454
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: said he was fourteen to zero as an underdog on teasers.

455
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: Pretty brutal. That didn't cover. So yeah, I was hoping

456
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: we'd get the back door Chad get a big scramble

457
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: I think for thirty yards. They caught it back on

458
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: a hold, made it fourth and thirteen again, and it's like, Okay,

459
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: we're dead. We're not getting this back doors. So yeah,

460
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: tough loss, but yeah, just another day betting these trends.

461
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: It's tough when they don't work out for you.

462
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: MVP adds just before the afternoon games, after the Jared Goff.

463
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: After Jared Goff threw for four hundred yards, he had

464
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: been twenty to one during the week. He had dropped

465
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: because of the five pick game before the Chiefs and

466
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: Bill's played. It was Lamar plus one thirty, it was

467
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen plus two fifty and Jared Goff plus six hundred,

468
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: so he jumped quite a bit. In the MVP tallies.

469
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: We're waiting on updated MVP adds. Post this Josh Allen game,

470
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: I amadine, and he'll now be the odds on favorite

471
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: to win the MVP, given that he just beat Patrick

472
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes did it in spectacular fashion. Alert here for.

473
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen looking for hell.

474
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: He's alon.

475
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: No, he's a flier.

476
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 3: He's a football player through and through him here, but

477
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: there's nothing there.

478
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: He goes, shan't try an excuse me touchdown?

479
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: How many quarterbacks have you ever seen hurdle anyone? Goodness,

480
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: there's no fears, no way. He was being.

481
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Pizza.

482
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: He's still going, Oh my god. The demands to do

483
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: something about this album reachous man making louder and louder.

484
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: He was Mahomesyan. He made the play that he had

485
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: to make. He hit the guys that he had to hit,

486
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: converted hard third downs, scored the game winning touchdown, you know,

487
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: converted the fourth down. Kudos Josh Allen, Kudos Buffalo Bills.

488
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell maybe buying ice cream for his entire neighborhood

489
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: tonight because he's so excited. At the very least he

490
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: gets to eat wings with gloves because all of his

491
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: fears are over now.

492
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: No chad buying ice cream for everyone in my neighborhood

493
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 3: is reserved for big playoff victories, regular season wins like this.

494
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: I celebrate the old fashioned way as a Bills fan,

495
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: which is breaking all the side mirrors off the cars

496
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: in my neighborhood.

497
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: Go Bills.

498
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: All right, here's the regrets. I don't think we seriously

499
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: discussed the Colts enough. We had the Colts in the

500
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: underdog round robin along with Atlanta, Kansas City, and Tennessee.

501
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: None of them won, but the Colts and the Steelers did.

502
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: We never had a combo about them, and I felt

503
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: like we actually liked them more after Anthony Richardson was

504
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: named the starter. Why didn't? Why do we miss that one?

505
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: I mean I loved him, It just it wasn't on

506
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: your radar. I only have so many winners in me

507
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: that should have been you that instead of Cleveland, you

508
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: should have the Colts. I got nothing to do.

509
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: I love the Colts all week.

510
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: I was never really on them. I bet them because

511
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: I liked the number, but it was like I was

512
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: never in love with it. You liked them more than me.

513
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: So I wish I could stay and be like I

514
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: knew the Colts was gonna be a great but I

515
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: honestly it wasn't on my radar. I just I didn't

516
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 2: know what Anthony Richards was going to react. He obtually

517
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: came out had an incredible game. I think at one

518
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: point he was like seven and nine passing like totally.

519
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. He ended a game like twenty thirty for two

520
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: seventy five or something like that. Yeah, and he converted

521
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: some fantastic third downs like that was a really grown

522
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: up football game for him.

523
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. So again it was it was a good bet.

524
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: I wish we had made it, but yeah, I was

525
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: never it was never one of my bigger bets this week.

526
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 2: I never would have been in one of Like I

527
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: was never going to force in. So yeah, it sucks

528
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: where you definitely liked it, but it was never one

529
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: year like, oh, we have to get this one and

530
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: we never really talked about it. Now.

531
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: Broncos was the other one. I felt like we had

532
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: done a full one to eighty on that one, and

533
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: we were all over Atlanta early in the week and

534
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: by the end of the week we really liked Denver.

535
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Chris Raybun helps though with that. Yeah, although like

536
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: when he starts bringing down all those stats, We're like, shit,

537
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: you're right. Like this Atlanta team, their offense still struggle

538
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: against good defense and Denver we've both talked about Denver

539
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: is a good defense. But bow Knicks man like that,

540
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: that was really a bon Knicks game. We talked about

541
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: it like I bet him Rookie of the Year just

542
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: because it's like, yeah, it feels like a two man

543
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: race between him and Jane Daniels. That might have been

544
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 2: his best game of the season. I mean, he played

545
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: incredible in that matchup. So yeah, the bow Knick stock

546
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: keeps going up every week.

547
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: It really does. And look, Jade Daniels is struggling.

548
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Jane Daniels is injured. That's why.

549
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean he struggled against the Eagles obviously, and

550
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: they got to him quite a bit. On Thursday night.

551
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: I was at that game. Let me just say this.

552
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I know it's sacriligious to say these things, but after

553
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: a week of going to Knicks, Bulls at MSG, Bulls

554
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: win with three free throws with three seconds left, and

555
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: then Jalen Brunson has a shot go in and out.

556
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: Then I go the next night with my kid to

557
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: Eagles commanders at the link and Saquon goes off in

558
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: the second half. It's great. Eagles dominate. First half was

559
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: so freaking boring, and these games take so long, and

560
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: it's like every five seconds there's a minute to two

561
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: minute break. And then we went. We visited the University

562
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: of Maryland, which was amazing, great campus, really impressive school.

563
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: Went to the Maryland Marquette game and that game came

564
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: down to the final seconds. Maryland was down two with

565
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds left left. A kid was on the line

566
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: to shoot two for Maryland missed them. Both game ends.

567
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: But like the in stadium, in game live experience for

568
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: basketball is just so much better in the NFL. It

569
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: just is.

570
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it all depends. I mean, you have a different

571
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: way watching football. It all depends the type of year

572
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: you are. I think you just like action, you like points,

573
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: which is nothing wrong with. Go watch NBA or go

574
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: watch NHL. That's for you. For someone like me, I

575
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: like that game. I know people didn't love if I loved.

576
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: That was an NFC East Classic. It was ugly. Every

577
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: catch mattered. I mean, guys were dropping the ball all

578
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: over the field because it's just so intense everyone's so tight.

579
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: I love that because you can feel it in the stadium.

580
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: So I get what you're saying. It's just a different

581
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: type of thing where it's like, yeah, do we both

582
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: want to see a fifty to forty five game? Sure,

583
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: I would have loved that and if the NFL game

584
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: was going crazy, but instead we got a what twenty

585
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: to twelve type of game? And that's just that's just

586
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: how it is sometimes.

587
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: First of all, don't fucking insult me with I want points.

588
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I grew up in Chicago.

589
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: You sound like a TikToker, dude. You sound like a

590
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: little little gen zer right now.

591
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Going to Bears games when it's four below and rooting

592
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: for the game to be three nothing Bears, because all

593
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: I want to do is sorry, you're soft.

594
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: Now, that was a lot.

595
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm definitely soft. I definitely thought after the game, I

596
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: don't really need to go to a game if it's

597
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: less than forty degrees. Number one, number two, it's it's

598
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: not the intensity, it's the interruptions and the commercial breaks

599
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: and the amount of time that is spent just sitting

600
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: there waiting for the next thing to happen. It could

601
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: be attention deficit. It could totally be about intention span,

602
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, as a product, the experience for

603
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: basketball was much better in game than the experience for football.

604
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, thank god, we don't have to put

605
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the Browns in the contest this week.

606
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: Looking ahead to Week twelve, the lines that we are

607
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: looking at Rounds are four point dogs at home. I

608
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: hate that I feel this way, you know, but I'm

609
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: glad we're not gonna have to put it in the contest.

610
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have an early lean on

611
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: that game.

612
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're supposed to about the Browns. You're right. I

613
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: don't want to do anything with that game. I want

614
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: to early lean Pittsburgh.

615
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: Yep, there is a game. However, a team had to

616
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: buy this week. A team looked pretty good two weeks ago.

617
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: Last week, Carolina Panthers were eleven and a half point

618
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: underdogs against Kansa Cy Chiefs.

619
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: Are you doing it?

620
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're doing it like I think it

621
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: merits attention. I'm not going to bet it right now,

622
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: but I do think it merits some attention to think about, especially,

623
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: you know. Now.

624
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: I agree that we're supposed to bet that we always

625
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: say we like to fade mahomes. But yeah, I wonder

626
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: if the our listeners will let us bet it. But

627
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: that's definitely a game that jumped out to me that

628
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: I want to bet. We just talked about it. Favorites

629
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: right now, double digits or five? And oh, I know

630
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: you you always talk about teams things being overdue. Isn't

631
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: a big dog overdue to win this year or cover

632
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: at least a big double digit spread? So yeah, that

633
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: numbers two big. I'll take it early here with you.

634
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: But I don't know if listeners will let us put

635
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: that one in. But I'm with you. I definitely love that.

636
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: I can't see that one making it into the contest.

637
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: There are loads of home dogs this week. I'm gonna

638
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: read a list of the home dogs. There are seven.

639
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me which ones you pinpointed it,

640
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: because I got a couple I want to see if

641
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: we match. The Bears are five point dogs at home

642
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. These are all home dogs that I'm reading

643
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: off Indy seven points against Detroit Giants, three against Tampa Vegas,

644
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: three against Denver Green Bay, one against San Francisco Rams,

645
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: two and a half at versus Philly Chargers plus three

646
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: versus Baltimore.

647
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean jumped that right away. I wanted to

648
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: grab the Lions at minus seven. That's already up to

649
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: minus eight. Unfortunately. I just I felt like a little

650
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: too low to me for that cold steam, but not

651
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: that it's up to eight. It's like, I don't need

652
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: to rush and take that one. If you're still able

653
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: to get seven to seven and a half, I throw

654
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: a little bit on that, just because it seems like

655
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna keep going up on this cold steam. Patriots?

656
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: Are we a suckers? Are we a sucker for trying

657
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: to take the patris a plus seven and a half?

658
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: That feels like it's a lot of points for that matchup.

659
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: I forgot who they're playing.

660
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: Hold on, they're playing Miami.

661
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was really focused on home dogs.

662
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they're on the road. I'm just taking

663
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: that one right now. They're just another big, big dog

664
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: that popped out to me. That just feels like that

665
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: number will come down just because you know, I know Miami.

666
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: They won what thirty one nineteen today, But.

667
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: That was a a scoreboard win, not a box score win.

668
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Like that game was much closer I agree about the

669
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: game than it should have been.

670
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: And I think we both agree this. This Raiders team

671
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: is totally terrible, so terrible. What do we do with

672
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: that line? You see their line against Denver, it's minus four.

673
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean you have to take the Raiders like right,

674
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: just and that to me was.

675
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: One of the fish That line's really fishy. Giants are

676
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: plus three and a half at home against Tampa.

677
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: So that's interesting, Like some of these lines have moved.

678
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: You know, obviously these were the lines before we get

679
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: on the shodow and it's been thirty minutes that we

680
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: since we started recording. So now you're saying Raiders are

681
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: up to four. They opened at three, Giants are up

682
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: to three and a half. They opened at three. Like,

683
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to be on the Giants. I'm gonna

684
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: want to be on the Raiders.

685
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: I know. It's just again we need to like pull

686
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: it back because the like this, Like today, we took

687
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: a lot of lines I normally wouldn't honestly take, like

688
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: we we joked about the Chiefs were a really public dog,

689
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh was a really public dog. And Detroit I

690
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: think it was like ninety five percent of the bets

691
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: and the tickets in the action app were on Detroit.

692
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: But we're just leaning into this year like this year

693
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: thates not matter. The public's just been winning. So normally

694
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: I'd honestly be with you and just hammering these giants

695
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 2: and radio lines. But the public has been so good

696
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: it's like, I'm not Russian. I am not rushing to

697
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 2: bet these ways unless you're been in the favorites. Then

698
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: we just talked about you should rush because Denver just

699
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: went Chatty said, went from three up to four. So

700
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: that's early professional money coming in on them, a team

701
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: I wanted to feade no matter what because of what

702
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: happened today where the Seahawks. The Seahawks pulled up a

703
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: last second win. We can get Arizona right now plus

704
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: one plus two as a yes, yes, I'm so that's

705
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: an I'm scrabbing now in case it's the same thing

706
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: as like Cleveland. Don't know if we'll bet it as

707
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: a week goes along, because it might flip. But I

708
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: could easily see this number flipping as we sit here

709
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: Sunday night, where you out with the Bears because they're

710
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: three and a half against this Vikings team.

711
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: Well it's come down. It opened at five. Wow, So

712
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: that tells me that professionals are coming in on the Bears.

713
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: And I, like, I got a lot of questions about

714
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: this Minnesota team. I just don't think Sam Darnold is

715
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: very good as a quarterback unless he's throwing to the

716
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: middle of the field. And they let Tennessee stay in

717
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: this game. So will Brian Flores be able to do

718
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: to Caleb Williams what he does to every rookie quarterback?

719
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: It's possible. Will the Bears have a come down moment

720
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 1: because they had their best game in the week where

721
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: they could run some new schemes with a new offensive coordinator,

722
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: and now there's a little bit more film on that.

723
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: Will they be emboldened like the Broncos were to come

724
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: out and just dominate after a really tough loss which

725
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: they should have won. Like, I don't know about that yet.

726
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: So for me, if it's already moved to three and

727
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: a half, we'll just fucking wait and see.

728
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: Those are the professionals who were like literally talking during

729
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: that Bears again they were gonna bet the Bears no

730
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: matter what this opening week because they just think that

731
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: Kleb looks way freer. I guess then he's had looked

732
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: in weeks and I would totally agree, do you Because

733
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 2: again I didn't watch enough of that game. My idea

734
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: was it just seemed like by free, do you mean

735
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: he's just scrambling more and running with the.

736
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: Bowls ran a lot more, But also he was It

737
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: felt like they were they were throwing more vertical passes

738
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: like downfield, like the routes he was running were the

739
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: receivers were running were just more vertical. They weren't throwing

740
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: as many crossing routes, and the players made better plays.

741
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: There were also a lot more screens, Like it was

742
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: out of his hands in about two seconds flat versus

743
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: being closer to three seconds. So who knows, maybe the

744
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: protection was a little bit better, but clearly they did

745
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: something that gave him the confidence, that gave him the

746
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: confidence to play as aggressively as he did all game.

747
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it had to do with

748
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of his hands fast.

749
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: All right, I'll throw a couple of thousand on them,

750
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: because I could see professionals betting this down the three

751
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: So because I was with for the one o'clock games

752
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: and they were just a bunch of them were just like,

753
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a bit, This will be a

754
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: good change for this Bears team. Like they seem like

755
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: they had a rhythm to them. And I honestly wasn't

756
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: watching the game enough to have an opinion on it,

757
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: but I trust their opinion. You're saying, you're kind of

758
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: seeing the same stuff. It's like, Okay, I already was

759
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: looking for a reason to fade this Viking team because

760
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: I'm with you. It's like their defense has just been

761
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: carrying them this season. Their defense is so good with

762
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: their offense. Sam Darnold's just been so inconsistently these last

763
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. And you know, now he's got another

764
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: game on the road outdoors against a divisional opponent. You

765
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: expect this to be a tough matchup for him. So yeah,

766
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Sucks. It feels like we missed the

767
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: best of it, right, But yeah, I still think three

768
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: and a half might be the best of it because

769
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: I could see this keep going down if professionals or

770
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: keep hitting this number.

771
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: Where are you at on rams plus two and a

772
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: half versus the Eagles? Versus the Eagles?

773
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: My view would is be patient if you like the Rams,

774
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: which I kind of do. But I took the Eagles

775
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: here right away at two and a half because there's

776
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 2: a couple of books at it to two and a half.

777
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: I just took that early just because I assume this

778
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: will go up to three three and a half by kickoff.

779
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 2: This is the Sunday night game, so uh, this this

780
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: makes sense right the I would say this is a

781
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 2: great test for this Eagle scheme because we've all heard

782
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: the hype right now with these rookie cornerbacks and everyone's

783
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 2: talking about how the difference they're making, and this will

784
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: be the ultimate test Cooper Cup Puoka, you know, to

785
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 2: the best in the game going against young corners. You

786
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: just think that'd be advantage to this Rams team. And

787
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: we know that this Eagles team is different on the road.

788
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: You know, Jalen Hurts is just better simply at home.

789
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: But it's a big deal. They're on extended rest and

790
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: this is a Sunday night game, so it's like coming

791
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: off of mini bye week against the Rams team that's

792
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: coming off the road. You know, this is not it's

793
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: not sure rest, but it kind of is right because

794
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: they're not getting hume till tonight. Yeah, that's that's definitely

795
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: a big deal. So I would say, if you want

796
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: to grab the early number and you like the Rams,

797
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 2: I would just wait. If you like the Eagles, I'd

798
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: grab it now because I could easily see this just

799
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 2: going up to three three and a half by Sunday night.

800
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Boy to Eagles fans, love Cooper dejan Man.

801
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you see his a T shirt? He award

802
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: you're a big wine guy. I forget now. So you know,

803
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: like if you go shopping for wines, they'll be like

804
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: the labels to say, exciting whites. Okay, So him in

805
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: this human blanker ship wore these shirts. This had exciting

806
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: whites on it, and they've got it from this guy

807
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: at the Different Mall, which if you know the local area,

808
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, different malls are like I love

809
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: Different Mall. It's our trashing mall. Like just the good

810
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: people of South Jersey send him and this other guy

811
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 2: this exciting white shirt. So just it's just hilarious. So

812
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: just we have a white safety and white cornerback who

813
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: are sick. It's it's so random, so funny.

814
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: All right, what else am I missing? You mentioned Arizona?

815
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: There is a one and a half out there by

816
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: the way.

817
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I saw too. So the twos are going

818
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: down to one and a half.

819
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: It's worth checking out. What else? What did I miss?

820
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: Just we just talked about this forty nine ers team

821
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: obviously is not the same team. Isn't this the time

822
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: to buy plus one and a half in Green Bay?

823
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: I mean you just watched that Green Bay. Something's wrong

824
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: with Jordan Love? Like, can we all agree he's just

825
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: not what he was last year? Like I know if

826
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: it's all the injuries, but he's reckless with the ball.

827
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 2: Did he have another interception in this game?

828
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: He did a costly one at the goal line.

829
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Like he just he keeps making these mistakes and

830
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to fault him to her because it's

831
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: his second year as a starter in this league. It's like,

832
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: this is what we expect. Like that last year we

833
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: talked about that was lighting in a bottle. You know,

834
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: if they would have lost that game, I might have

835
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: been more convinced to take them here. How do we

836
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: not take this Fortnite team? They have to be one

837
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: of the more desperate teams in all football, and now

838
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: they're a dog in this spot. This could be a

839
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: little bit like the Chiefs last week, where I got

840
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 2: a little bit. Maybe I'm getting a little bit blind

841
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: to it just because I love the number here. But

842
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: I make this a pick. We're getting plus one and

843
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: a half plus two right now in the forty nine ers.

844
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 2: This is just an early bet I'm going to make

845
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 2: right now. It's forty nine ers two. I just love

846
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: that number, all right.

847
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: So we're looking at the Cardinals as dogs. We're looking

848
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: at the Niners as dogs. If you like the Rams, wait,

849
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: if you like the Bears, you might want to take

850
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: the three and a half. We'll probably end up on

851
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Raiders, but we're keeping our powder

852
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: dry the last game. I think tonight has something to

853
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: do with it. The charters in the Ravens. Any initial opinion.

854
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: Here, No, I'm in no Russia about that one. Yeah,

855
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 2: they're like to me, if it goes under three, I'm

856
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: gonna take Lamar because we talked about I cap Lamar

857
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: different against Pittsburgh. Do any other team that's just for

858
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: some reason, that's just kryptonite of all the teams he plays.

859
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 2: We know the deal. If Lamar is under a three,

860
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 2: it's an auto play. Don't overthink it. He'll get back,

861
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 2: He'll get right that number. That opening number sounds right.

862
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: If the Chargers win this game tonight, this will come down,

863
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: so we'll get a better number. One. So I'm gonna

864
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: know Rush, but I do my early pick I want

865
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 2: to be on. Is this Ravens team all right?

866
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,520
