Hi everybody, how about that? I think 18 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: we watched two really good football teams, both with improved defenses, 19 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and neither played particularly well tonight. So starters over the 20 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: last few years are playing fewer snaps in preseason, and 21 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: I thought that was fairly evident. We've seen that in 22 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: college football. With a transfer portal, you know, you don't 23 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: have a preseason. In college football, it can get choppy. 24 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Even for the great teams like Ohio State, these are 25 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: much better defenses. Kansas City relied on a lot of 26 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: young players. They didn't have Chris Jones, and I yet 27 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: generated a really good pass rush, batted down several Jared 28 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: Goff throws, including a crucial fourth and two late. Now 29 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: they lost the game, but that was a big moment, 30 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: so you know, and they've got you know, Nick Bolton's 31 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: a tremendous young linebacker. They've got some young studs in 32 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: the secondary. So if you're if you're a Kansas City 33 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good defensive performance because the Lions are 34 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: going to light some people up that old line goff 35 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Omar on Saint Brown running game. Detroit's going to drop 36 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: some thirty bombs on people. And I thought Kansas City's defense, 37 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: all those young players, another year in camp, another off 38 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: season under spags, I thought the Chiefs defense was really 39 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: impressive and generated against a great O line, a pretty 40 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: consistent pass rush without Chris Jones. So for Kansas City, 41 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: it all is not lost. You didn't have Kelsey, you 42 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: didn't have Chris Jones, and you know you missed Kelsey. 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: There's one percent of the players in this league are 44 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: worth I mean, take out quarterbacks. There may be twenty 45 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: players in this league that are worth a point to 46 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: a point and a half, and Travis Kelsey's one of them. 47 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: And when you lose a Tyreek kill, as you justus 48 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: ms Schuster, Travis Kelcey becomes even more crucial. I mean, 49 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: how many passes did Tony drop tonight? How many passes 50 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: did Kansas City drop tonight? You really, I mean Travis 51 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: Kelsey would have gotten a dozen thirteen, fourteen targets, made 52 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: nine to ten catches, probably for over one hundred yards. 53 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: So they really missed Travis Kelcey tonight. His ball security, 54 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: his hands, his dependability on big third down plays. And 55 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: that's not an excuse. That's probably the difference in the ballgame. 56 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: Kelsey is that much of a security blanket in key spots. 57 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: It's like Brady and Gronk. He just is great great players, Edelman, Gronk. 58 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: How big were they in playoff games? Big games on 59 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: third down or fourth down in the red zone for 60 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: top Brady even great players have players they depend on. 61 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk to Troy. I didn't think they played necessarily 62 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: that great. I thought their O line struggled to pass protect. 63 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: I didn't think they could generate much of a run 64 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: game early, and that's for the good old line. But again, 65 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: it's the cohesion is very difficult. You're on the road, 66 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: it's loud. Kansas City played very well defensively upfront. Spags 67 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: is a great defensive coordinator, So I thought the Lions 68 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: have addressed I mean they've really the last two drafts, 69 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: the Lions know, you know, most of their talent was 70 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: on the offensive side, so their front office has done 71 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: a good job. Branch had to pick six. Hutchison's a 72 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: tremendous It's not TJ Watt yet, but he is a 73 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: tremendous He's not a Bosa yet, but he is excellent, 74 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: consistent pass rusher, great motor. Never stops out of Michigan. 75 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: So if you're if you're the Lions tonight, if I'm 76 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: a Lions fan, my take is, I didn't think we 77 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: even played that great in the first half. I thought 78 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: where you saw the Lion's strength is as the game 79 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: wore on that offensive line. They had that nine play 80 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: drive in the fourth quarter, then they had they picked 81 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: up a first down late trying to kill the clock. 82 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: That's just you know these games. Defenses early in games, 83 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City consistent pass rush, young defense. All of a 84 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: sudden that nine play drive, goff made a couple of 85 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: big throws. They start and it was a power run game. 86 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: It was clever. They had different looks, but it was 87 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: not a finesse run game. On that nine play drive. 88 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: It was a power run game. And you could see 89 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: it felt a little bit like to me that O 90 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: line kind of exerted its power a little bit in 91 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: that drive. Again, I think two really good teams to 92 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: clearly improve defenses, neither played particularly well. So if you're 93 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,119 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Travis Kelcey was clearly missed. Chris Jones didn't 94 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: feel like he was, but Travis Kelsey was clearly missed 95 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: with all the drops. And I think if you look 96 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: at Detroit, we didn't play particularly well. Couldn't some mishaps 97 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: in the first half. I didn't even think. I know 98 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: everybody loves the OC Ben Johnson for the Lions, I 99 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: didn't love his play calling in certain spots the night 100 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I really didn't. On fourth and two in the fourth quarter, 101 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, I wear my notes here. Yeah, fourth and two, 102 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: there's a minute or so, a minute and a half, 103 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: two minutes left, maybe two and a half. Run the ball. 104 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: You just had a nine play power run drive like, 105 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: run the ball. They didn't pass batted down. So I 106 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: think Detroit is flying home tonight thinking Dan campbell'son in 107 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: that locker room. Guys, this was not flawless football. We 108 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: just beat the World Champs on the road. We didn't 109 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: play that great in spots. Our pass protection wasn't great, 110 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: couldn't run the first ball of football in the first 111 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: half goff a lot of passes batted down. But I 112 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: think what you saw with that fake punt early in 113 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: the game, I think Detroit came in with a mindset, 114 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: we're taking big swings here. Ok, We're not playing the 115 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: World Champs and going conservative. To beat Mahomes, got to 116 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: take a league, got to take big cuts, big swings. 117 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Can't play not to lose. I mean, how many times 118 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: have we seen that with Mahomes. You got to play 119 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: aggressive football. And so they came in with an attitude 120 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: and I think that's what Dan Campbell has provided do 121 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: I think he's schematically brilliant. Well, he's built a very 122 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: good staff, so he knows people. That's clear. The front 123 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: office has done a really good job to build this 124 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: O line and the defense up over the last couple 125 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: of years. You know, when I do these hits, everybody 126 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: always feels good about the winning team. If I'm Detroit, 127 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: we didn't play that great and we won in Kansas City. 128 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: I think Travis Kelsey was missed. I mean, man, a 129 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: lot of drops. Now. The other thing, I don't think 130 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: Mahomes played particularly well. I thought he was behind. The 131 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: timing was off. This is the downside to not playing 132 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the preseason much. I thought Mahomes was really 133 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: hit and miss. I mean he's short, hot and deep ball. 134 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: He never does that behind on two or three guys. Now, 135 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: the drops didn't help. But you know, again, when you 136 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: don't have your security blanket, your Edelman or your Gronk 137 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: for Brady, you're forcing stuff. The timing's not perfect. So 138 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: you have young guys. Sky Moore's a young guy. I 139 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: don't have Kelsey. I didn't play much in the preseason. 140 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: This is what it looks like. So it's a go 141 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: either way game. The Lions get that big drive, that 142 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: nine play drive late wasn't pretty, was not an artistic masterpiece. 143 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: I don't think either team played particularly well, but a 144 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: tip of the captain of the Lions. Good for them. 145 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: I had him winning the NFC North. I got my team. 146 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: I think in that division, amongst the Bears, the Packers, 147 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: and the Vikings, I think they have the best offensive line. 148 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: I think the edge Green Bay for the best offensive line. 149 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: I think Goff is better than Kirk Cousins, not as athletic, 150 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: but a better pocket guy than Justin Fields, better than 151 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: Jordan love So. I think the old line and the quarterback. 152 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: I think the Lions have the best groups in their division, 153 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: and I think their defense is improved. They've branch Hutchison, 154 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: They've hitt in a couple guys, so it's an exciting time. 155 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: It's My wife is from Michigan. She doesn't follow sports 156 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: or care about it, but she knows. She knows about 157 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: the Lions, and she knows about Michigan football. So good 158 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: for Detroit. And they've had some lean decades, but it 159 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: felt big. It felt big for them, and I like 160 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: the way Detroit won. I liked that nine play drive 161 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: in the second half. That's just Dan Campbell. That's that's 162 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: fite kneecaps. That's big, tough, physical power running. Nice w 163 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: We're here, baby, football's here. We're going to bring in 164 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Jamack of the Herd Jason McIntyre to play a new 165 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: game every week called the Vaulted Challenge.

How cool is that you can prove 170 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: you're smarter than all your friends using the Vaulted Challenge App. 171 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm issuing three challenges to Jmack around this weekend's game. 172 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: He can either accept or reject my Vaulted Challenge. So 173 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: here we go. My prediction Kenny Pickett throws for more 174 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: yards than Brock Purty of San Francisco. I'm risking three units. 175 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Agree or disagree. 176 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 2: I disagree, Colin. I like Brock Purty in this spot. 177 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: I know it's a road game. We don't know the 178 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: status of George Kittle, but this is a this is 179 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: a game where he's gonna have to put the ball 180 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 2: up in the air. 181 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: I think thirty thirty. 182 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: Five pass attempts because I think they're gonna be playing 183 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: from behind, and I don't think they're gonna be able 184 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: to run on this nasty Pittsburgh defensive front. I think 185 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: this is probably a two hundred and fifty yard passing 186 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 2: game for Perdy, and I don't know that Pickle will 187 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: get there, mostly because the defense will do the job. 188 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: I like Pittsburgh in the game, and I like Purdy 189 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: through the air. 190 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: Next up, Texans Ravens. I predict Lamar Jackson has more 191 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: total touchdowns than the entire Texans offense. I'm risking seven 192 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: units on this one. Agree or disagree. 193 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna agree with you there. I'm surprised it 194 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: wasn't ten units. Goodness gracious, I mean Lamar, this could 195 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: be a bloodbath. I don't see the Texans stopping Lamar. 196 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: He's never had this many weapons. Odell Beckham's a flower 197 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: like they really are in line here to put up 198 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: forty and make a statement. We've got a new offensive coordinator, 199 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: We're moving on to a new era. And Texans and 200 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: Damiico Ryans. I'm sorry, it's an Uphill Challenge. You don't 201 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: have the forty nine ers defense you had last year. 202 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: Final Challenge Packers Bears. I'm gonna predict Justin Fields, Chicago 203 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: quarterback has more rushing yards than Aaron Jones, the top 204 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: running back for Green Bay. I'm risking two units. Agree 205 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: or disagree. 206 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: Smells like a trap. I'm gonna go ahead and disagree 207 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: with you, Colin. I think this is an Aaron Jones game. 208 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: If you've seen the injury reports, Romeo Dobbs and Christian 209 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: Watson are like, we don't know that they're not practicing 210 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: earlier in the week. It's like how healthy are they? 211 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: Then you look at the weapons outside and Jordan Love 212 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: is not gonna have many. I think this is a 213 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: heavy Aaron Jones game, probably with a dose of mister 214 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: Dylan behind him. I think Justin Fields, we know what 215 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: he can do getting loose, but all signs indicate Fields 216 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: is gonna want to win from the pocket this year. 217 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: He can't take the beating he took last year. So 218 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: I think Field's rushing yards probably diminished a little bit. 219 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: Aaron Jones I got them on all my fantasy teams. 220 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: This is probably a one twenty five one to fifty 221 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: game from Aaron Jones. All right, Colin, my first challenge 222 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: to you is that Baker Mayfield, your favorite quarterback, will 223 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 2: have more passing yards than Kirk Cousins. I'm risking four 224 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: units on this one. Agree or disagree? 225 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 1: I agree. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have shown no ability 226 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: in the last two years to run the football. Baker's 227 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: going to be forced to throw. I like their weapons. 228 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: This is one of those games that I don't like 229 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Tampa to win. I think they'll trail. I think they'll 230 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: have to throw. I think they'll have no run game. 231 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: I agree. Hmm interesting. 232 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to my next one, Texans Ravens CJ. 233 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: Stroud's debut. I predict he will have less than two 234 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: touchdown passes. I'm risking only one unit here because this, 235 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: like I said earlier, could be a blood bath and 236 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: he's airing it out. Would you agree or disagree? 237 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree because I think they'll trail and have 238 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: to throw the ball. Ravens in a prevent defense late 239 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: and CJ will actually get those you know, classic last 240 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: two to three drive yards and touchdowns to elevate his 241 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: overall numbers. I think they trail. I think it could 242 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: be ugly. He'll get a lot of those padded stats 243 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: that don't mean much. But I disagree. Garbage time. 244 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: All right, we'll wrap up with my final prediction. Most 245 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: confident here. Russell Wilson has more than two hundred and 246 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: thirty five and a half passing yards against the Raiders. 247 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: I'm winning nine units on this one. Colin a lot 248 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 2: of confidence. 249 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: Agree or disagree? I agree, and I think Denver wins, 250 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: and probably comfortably. Denver at home. Sean Payton was Coach 251 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: of the Year with the Saints his first year. He 252 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: figures stuff out quickly. I work with him in TV. 253 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: He figures stuff out quickly. Raiders are a bit of 254 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: a mess. The Chandler Jones drama, I don't love, don't 255 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: love ownership, new front Office. I agree. I think Russell 256 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: new slimmer, Russell running more play action Russell. I think 257 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: he has a pretty good day.

I feel 294 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: out the opposition, and so my Week one history is 295 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: pretty lame and the sharp is as olways Chad Milman, 296 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: the Action Network. All of our odds provided by DraftKings, 297 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: our new partner. So let's just I'm gonna just ease 298 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: my way into it. You know, there's a lot of 299 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: things I'll tell you. One of my I talked about 300 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: this all off season, and I don't know if I'm 301 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: going to make it a bet. But I said, Shane 302 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: Steikin's great. I've seen him work magic with two young quarterbacks, 303 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: and I have no idea, nor does Jacksonville know what 304 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: the hell they're getting from Anthony Richardson. I'm not going 305 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: to make that one of my picks. But a rivalry game, 306 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: you know we're going to be stunned by something week one, 307 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: So I just want a feeler on that because I 308 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: think Jacksonville is coming in with pressure and has no 309 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: idea what they're getting. I think for three hours you 310 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: can upset people when they it's just the element of surprise. 311 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 3: What would you say, I'd say you don't need a 312 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: couple of weeks to feel things out right now, Colin, 313 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: you are as sharp as a knife. The only reason 314 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: I haven't done is yet is because Jacksonville is such 315 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: a public team that I know money is going to 316 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 3: come in on them during the weekend, and by Sunday 317 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: I might get a better number. I might get Indianapolis 318 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: plus five and a half plus six. So I'm just 319 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 3: waiting for that. But look, in previous years, we've seen this. 320 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 3: Jacksonville hosts Indianapolis in Week one and everybody knows you're 321 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 3: gonna bet on Indianapolis, but you bet on Jacksonville because 322 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 3: they're the worst team and they're getting huge number. It's 323 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: the only game they win all year, and then Indianapolis 324 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 3: turns around and is fine. Now the situation is reversed. 325 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: Jacksonville is everybody's darling. They love Trevor Lawrence. This is 326 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: a terrible offensive line, maybe one of the worst offensive 327 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 3: lines in the end, and they're without Cam Robinson for 328 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 3: the first four weeks of the year. This is going 329 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: to be Indianapolis's one of their best chances to win. 330 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 3: So I love, love, love Indie as an underdog. Here 331 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 3: all right, well. 332 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet that game. I just decided. Okay, here's 333 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 1: another one. So I'm gonna say something, and you are 334 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: going to tell your friends off air. He doesn't know 335 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: what he's talking about. But here's my theory, because you 336 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: would not be rude. But I've always had this thing 337 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: about the number four embedding. So when I see three 338 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: and a half, I'm gonna take the hook in most instances, 339 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: but four is different. Vegas and the wise guys are 340 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: telling you we don't need the hook. The favorites, the 341 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: better team. So Sean Payton won Coach of the Year 342 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: first year in New Orleans. His shit works fast, and 343 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: we don't doubt the talent here, it's just the culture. 344 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: Here's what I saw. Russell Wilson loses weight by the 345 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: second preseason game. They do one series and Sean's like, Okay, 346 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: seen enough, I'm not showing you anything else. I think, Sean, 347 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: remember the first preseason game. They've played four series in 348 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: one week. All of a sudden, that next series, You're like, oh, 349 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: that looks good. Sean closed the books. We're done. I 350 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: think Denver comes out. They're great. Opening weeks in the altitude. 351 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: They beat the desert team Denver minus four Sharper square. 352 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think your instincts are all right. I love Denver. 353 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 3: I one of my biggest bets is Denver to win 354 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 3: the AFC West. I also, listen, you have to think 355 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 3: about what you just said, right, Think about Sean Payton. 356 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: Think about a defense. Think about a defense that gave 357 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 3: up more than twenty points once in the first eleven 358 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 3: weeks of the year. They could have won so many 359 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 3: games if their offense could have scored two and a 360 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 3: half touchdowns in the first eleven games of the year. 361 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 3: They lost multiple games in overtime. It wasn't until the 362 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: end of the year, where they had completely lost themselves 363 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: that their defense started to fade a little bit. They've 364 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: got really good skill position players. You've got to believe 365 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: that Sean Payton is worth several wins on top of 366 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: what they did last year. Certainly like them at over 367 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: eight and a half wins. And why not, it's not 368 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 3: going to be the Kansas City Show every single year 369 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 3: in the AFC West, and there's always a team eighteen 370 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: of the past twenty years, Colin, a team goes from 371 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: worse to first in the division? Why not Denver. So 372 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 3: all that said, this game is kind of a pass 373 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 3: for me because I don't like the number. I think 374 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: four is actually too much, and you're talking about a 375 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: divisional game, first game of the year. There's a couple 376 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: spots here where I like the favorite a lot, but 377 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: I don't like the number in these scenarios, and this 378 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: is one of those games. 379 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go to the one o'clock window. 380 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: This has been much discussed in the HERD. I don't 381 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: know if you've heard, but it's a very popular show. 382 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: Nationally. 383 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: The kids adore it, tell me about it. The old 384 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: people tolerate it. So yeah, I'm gonna take Pittsburgh plus 385 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: the points. I don't love DraftKings has it at plus two. 386 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: I like two point five. I like two and a half. Okay, 387 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: but when TJ wats healthy, they win. Mike Tomlin is 388 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: as good a coach as the league has. When he's 389 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: backed into a corner, he's playing a more talented team. 390 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: Everybody's disrespecting Kenny Pickett's I don't like Tomlin as a favorite, 391 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: but as a home dog. I remember a couple of 392 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: years ago when he went to Buffalo and they walked 393 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: in there with an old big bend. I'm like, what 394 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: did I just watch? I'm gonna take the points with Pittsburgh. 395 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: Canny Pickett once at the end of the year he 396 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: moved the chains. What do you think, Sharper Square. 397 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: You're so freaking sharp on this colin on the Favorites podcast, 398 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 3: which you know, well, this was my executive decision, meaning 399 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: it's a must bet game. I love Pittsburgh here truth 400 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 3: be told. I loved Pittsburgh when the lines opened in 401 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: I don't know May or June, and they were three 402 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 3: point underdogs at home. I think Kenny Bickett is a baller. 403 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 3: I love him as a quarterback for this team San Francisco. Look, 404 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: they're going to be a team that everyone loves to 405 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: potentially make the Super Bowl as a road favorite. Kyle 406 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 3: Shanahan is not great, just ten and eleven against the spread. 407 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: But what you said about Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin is 408 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 3: the best underdog coach in the past twenty years, literally 409 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 3: the most profitable underdog coach in the past twenty years. 410 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 3: They are fifty three thirty and four as an underdog 411 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 3: under Mike Tomlin. Pittsburgh is so I love this team. 412 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 3: I kind of love them outright, like Tomlin does really well. 413 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 3: He's twenty nineteen and covering it like as a outright 414 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 3: as an underdog. So this is a great game to bet. Also, 415 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 3: let me say one thing. TJ. Watt huge game changer. 416 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: Don't forget he was injured for a lot of the 417 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 3: season last year. Right eight and two straight up and 418 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: against the spread. Pittsburgh is when TJ. Watt is on 419 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: the field last year, so this is a much different 420 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: team with TJ. Watt. You got it back, You got 421 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 3: it back Pittsburgh. 422 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: Here as a young child, the kids in the neighborhood 423 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: would call me contrarian Colin. I'm gonna take New York 424 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: plus three and a half. Here's why. Daniel Jones may 425 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: have a ceiling, but he doesn't lose you games. He 426 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: had five picks. He's a bigger, stronger, more athletic version 427 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: of Alex Smith. There's a ceiling, but in year two 428 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: with Brian Dable, they've added an element of Darren Waller. 429 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: They're now very good at tackle both sides. Their second 430 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: round pick could be the best young center in the game. 431 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: Barkley's in house. I like their defensive front kevon Thiebaudo 432 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: a second year. I don't like Dallas's head coach. I'm 433 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: not in love with the offensive line coach. Their best 434 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: coach is their defensive coordinator, and Dak has become a 435 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: pocket passer. That's what he is now. Second year Brian 436 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: Dable at home, the world loves Dallas. I don't think 437 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: New York is a great team, but I don't see 438 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: them going off a cliff with Brian Dable. I'm gonna 439 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: take three and a half and New York Sharper Square. 440 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 3: Totally sharp, You're making the exact right move. I know 441 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 3: that New York is a better team, but close spread 442 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 3: division rivals. What's really interesting about New York, and there's 443 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 3: a similarity with Minnesota. The narrative for both teams is 444 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 3: that they won a lot of close games. The narrative 445 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 3: for Minnesota is that there's going to be huge regression 446 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 3: that they will not be able to do the same thing. 447 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 3: The narrative for New York is that Brian Dabel is 448 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: such a good coach. A lot of a lot of 449 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 3: the success they had is repeatable, and we're all sort 450 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 3: of falling into that trap a little bit that he 451 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 3: is so good he will win his team games in 452 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: ways that other coaches can't. I firmly believe that New 453 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 3: York is the right side in this game because of 454 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 3: Brian Dable, because of some of the things you just 455 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 3: said about the talent they've added. It'll be very interesting 456 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: to see if this narrative hold and if he is 457 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 3: good enough to keep this team in close games the 458 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 3: way he did last year. 459 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: It's a big game, so let's play it. 460 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: So. 461 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't love that von Miller is out for Buffalo, 462 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: and I don't love that Leslie Frasier just decided to 463 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: leave the franchise. But Buffalo is well coached. Josh Allen 464 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: is in his prime. You don't have to love either 465 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: offensive line, but old quarterbacks bad at tackle is a 466 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: real concern. We can say we don't like this Defaon 467 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: Diggs drama. We know it's gonna be fine week one. Okay, 468 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: we're not worried about a blow up now. It was 469 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: the end of last year. I get a quarterback in 470 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: his prime. They got the best tight end in the draft. 471 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: They're healthy outside of Von Miller. I don't like when 472 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady went to Tampa. What did he say? Tristan 473 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: Wurf's stafford fell apart when the O line did. Young 474 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 1: quarterbacks Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Herbert Herbert set rookie records 475 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: with a terrible old line. I think Aaron's gonna get 476 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: prickly really fast. This is a bad old line. I'm 477 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: gonna take Buffalo minus two and a half sharper square square. 478 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 3: This is a bad spot. This is a bad spot 479 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: for Buffalo, and it's a good spot for New York. 480 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: And I'll preface all of what I'm going to say 481 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 3: by saying I have Buffalo going to the super Bowl, 482 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: and I am fading New York every chance I get. 483 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: If it's the right spot. This is not the right spot. 484 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: I think it's one of the I think in a 485 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: week we're gonna love Buffalo and we're gonna hate New York. 486 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 3: But one thing New York has going for it. A. 487 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 3: It's at home, prime time. Aaron Rodgers, if he's ever 488 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: going to shine, this is the spot. B. They've got 489 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: a tremendous defensive line. Buffalo's offensive line is just not 490 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: that good. And so while Josh Allen is incredibly athletic 491 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 3: and in his prime and we'll be able to make 492 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: people miss and cover up people's mistakes, he can't do 493 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 3: it the whole game against a really good New York defense. 494 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: So this game probably should be closer to pick. And 495 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 3: you're getting two and a half points of value. We got, 496 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 3: you know, the podcast and the favorites. We get calls 497 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: from professional betters all the time. This was the game 498 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 3: they could not wait to hammer. Okay, as Is, you 499 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 3: did great, though, Colin, you did really good well, Contrarian, 500 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 3: I don't want you to feel bad about yourself. 501 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: Got that Moniker as a child, Okay. 502 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 3: Contrarian on the tough you grew up with a lot 503 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 3: of wise guys that year. 504 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: The tough streets of grayln Washington. Okay, you always convinced 505 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: me of a game to take a lot of people 506 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: like Washington this week, I don't know. Give me the 507 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: game you think I missed? Overlooked? 508 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 3: How gross do you want to be? 509 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: Oh, this is the game you play. I listen. I 510 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: can be. 511 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 3: Gross because I could go try to get you to 512 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: take Houston at plus ten. The only no, I. 513 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: Don't want to go by a kid. I can't do it. 514 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: You know. I hate big numbers. I hate big favors. 515 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 3: I know, but that's that is That is definitely a 516 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 3: game I'm going to be betting. But how about this? 517 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: And I'm surprised you didn't mention this one? Why not 518 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 3: Cleveland hosting Cincinnati? Cleveland is another one, similar to Denver. 519 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: I bet Cleveland to win the AFC North. This has 520 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: this team has a top five offensive line, They've got 521 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: a top five defensive line and incredibly talented roster, a 522 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: really good coach. You're betting on Deshaun Watson getting back 523 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: to mid level form. But Joe Burrow he's been injurered 524 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 3: week one can be challenging. We don't know what we're 525 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 3: getting out of that team yet they're on the road. 526 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: This is the spot where you find out what kind 527 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: of talent and competition Cleveland can live up to. I 528 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 3: smash Cleveland, love this spot. 529 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: For Let me throw this one at you, just interested 530 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: in your perspective. We both love Chicago. I'm going to 531 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: stay away from this game. And a lot of people 532 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: like green Bay here. What say you? 533 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? The wise guys like green Bay here a lot 534 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: more than they like Chicago. And I think it's they 535 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 3: liked it and started pounding it when the line was 536 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 3: at about two and a half. Look, there's been so 537 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 3: much hype for Chicago. I obviously love Chicago. I'm from there. 538 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 3: I talk about them often. I'm not convinced that this 539 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 3: is going to be a team you want to bet 540 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: on early. They've still got a lot of offensive line issues. 541 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 3: We don't know how accurate Justin fields can be with 542 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: Dj Moore. The defense is atrocious. It's still a team 543 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 3: to finish three and fourteen, lost ten games in a row, 544 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 3: like it is not a good spot for them. I 545 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 3: think there's a lot more to love for a Green 546 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 3: Bay's roster from top to bottom, and the fact that 547 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 3: they have seen enough of Jordan Love to feel good 548 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 3: that he can be someone who can potentially win this 549 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: game outright. So as a short underdog, the professionals are 550 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 3: back in Green Bay. 551 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: I want to stay away from Miami this year because 552 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: at TUA, I'm staying away mostly. 553 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 3: I think that's right. I like Los Angeles here. It's 554 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 3: a tricky game, though it's a really there's a lot 555 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 3: of tricky games. And the other game. By the way, 556 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 3: I know we're ending our time here, but we did 557 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 3: not talk about New England and Philadelphia, which is another game. 558 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 3: The wise guys love New England. 559 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: So I like New England, but I worry about the 560 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: right side of their old line. 561 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 3: Listen from everyone who knows more than me, call Cosel. 562 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: Does Cosell care about the right tackle? Does he have 563 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 3: the right tackle who's filling in? Graded that much below 564 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 3: the right tackle who's injured? The line moved half a 565 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 3: point off of that news, So New England is now 566 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 3: a four point underdog. I would take New England in 567 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 3: this spot. 568 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to have a cocktail. It's Thursday 569 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: game night, so I'll have clarity to sleep on that. 570 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: You may have convinced me on that one. That right tackle, 571 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: that right tackles everything. 572 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: I do what I can. This is why, this is 573 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 3: why professional betters watch preseason games. People think, oh, why 574 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 3: would you bet on preseason game? Why would you watch 575 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 3: preseason Professional betters watch preseason games. I've been in the 576 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: room with them when they're talking about this, because they 577 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 3: are grading the backup tackle and the backup guard late 578 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 3: in the second quarter, in the third quarter, all the 579 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 3: way through to the fourth quarter. Because that does make 580 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 3: a difference for a lot of teams when it comes 581 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 3: to betting on them later in the season when you 582 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 3: start to get banged up. So this is an important 583 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: right tackle. You joke, but it's it's important. But I 584 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 3: don't think it's going to matter in. 585 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: A professional betters. You know what's different about you. You're 586 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: the only one with a beautiful redhead. He has folks, 587 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: He has a beautiful Yeah, well that would go for 588 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: you too. My wife look like sisters. You very pro 589 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: sports canbeller have beautiful wives. That's just a random generalization. 590 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 3: By the way, I think they would say, oh, Colin. 591 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: You're being contrarian. Sharper square, all odds provided by draft Kings. 592 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: My friend awesome, See you later. The volume
