Speaker 3: with Chad Millman. He is the co host of that show. So,

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 3: as I said, fellas preseason football jets Browns, they get

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: things going on Thursday, August third. You know, the NFL

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: preseason has that reputation we're out degenerates. Enjoy this. It

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: gives you that itch to get set for Week one.

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: Maybe you're a college football better too. He just needs

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 3: something to sink your teeth into before the real games begin.

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: But there can be some edgitts, from what I understand,

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: some significant edges on betting preseason football. Sean Kerner, I'll

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: go to you first. What's your general outlook of preseason

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: football and how you dive into it.

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I yes, you know you could call it degenerate

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: in the sense that neither team is necessarily trying to

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: win the game. So it's interesting, you know, betting on

39
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: a game in that context. But I think if you're

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 4: paying attention closely like I am, you know, I'm projecting

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: every player for every game for daily fantasy projections, for

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: player props, so I have a good sense on like

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: which players will be on the field win. When you

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: have that level of like information, you can have a

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: big edge, and there's a bunch of different ways to

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: use information, whether it's betting on like just the first quarter,

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: just the first half, or waiting endgame to find a spot.

48
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of situations in scenarios where

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: you can find some massive edges in preseason.

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: Simon your takeaways on when you see the line come out.

51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: We'll get into Jets Browns before we conclude the program,

52
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: just to use it as an example. But when you

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: look at preseason football, what comes to mind.

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: It's evolved a lot over the years.

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: I would say before it was nationally legalized, it was

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: definitely hard to get money down on the preseason. And

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: then I'll never forget that first year that New Jersey

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: legalized and they were taking bets on the preseason. It

59
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: was probably one of the most fun I've ever had,

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: right because the books didn't limit people. They're happy to

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: take money because they were just excited for people to

62
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: come in bet football, and there was four preseason games,

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: so it was honestly, I didn't even realize it was

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: kind of the golden age of preseason football because now

65
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: it's tight. The books know that, especially if I have

66
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: a model. You can get a big, big advantage on

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: these books in preseason, so it's.

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Tough, man.

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: It's tough to get money down now, you really have

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: to work at it. Regular season. It might be a

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: little tough Sunday night, Monday morning and Tuesday to get

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: money down. But come Wednesday Thursday, the books they'll take

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: your money. Yes, the average layman fan maybe they're betting

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: five dollars on the preseason game, but the professionals are

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: betting big money because they're seeing big advantages.

76
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: It's about how good your sources are. But it's also.

77
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: About knowing these different coaches like Andy Reid, this old

78
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: guard coach. He played Mahomes in two of the three

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: preseason games last year. He might play him in the third,

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and I forget if he actually did play in the

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: throw one, but he had him playing a lot of

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: time in the preseason and his reasoning was sound. He said,

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Tyrek Hill is gone. I need him to get.

84
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: Comfortable these new our receivers. So those are little things.

85
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Are looking for those little details of just because of

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: a veteran coach. A veteran quarterback doesn't either going to

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh right Truan McVay does not care about the preseason.

88
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: You will not play Stafford at all. He won't play

89
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: many starters. Those are things Over the years you kind

90
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: of learn the rhythm of these different coaches. I really

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: take away from it. It's really professionals. I really bet it.

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: In the general public, it's like a warm up, right,

93
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: It's like them getting back into football mode. If you're

94
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: just betted casually, right, you're not putting work, You're not

95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: really studying. Now listening to these kind of smart podcasts

96
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: we're doing here at Action Network, go small, don't go

97
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: overboard because to me, preseasons where you should be putting

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot of working to get good information. You can't

99
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: just make your lazy bets on it. Try to going

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: with the game plan. That's really important here betting preseason football.

101
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of those lessons can carry over to

102
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: into the regular season. I would imagine as it pertains

103
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: to studying and sources. As you said, digesting the correct

104
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: information matters. And the key word there is correct, because

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: is a lot of information just smoke? Is it? Just

106
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: how much do you buy into what a coach says?

107
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: How much do you buy into a quarterback competition or

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: that wide receiver six or seven, trying to make a roster.

109
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: There's so many levels to it, So Kerner, when you're

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: going about preparing, I don't want to give away too

111
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: much to what the model is, but when you're processing information,

112
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: what are some dues and don'ts.

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you always have to take everything with the grain

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: of salt. And just over the years, I've understood the

115
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: coach speak when it comes to preseason, So I mean,

116
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: really what it comes down to when I'm modeling for

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: game projections is knowing which quarterback is going to be

118
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: in the game when because they're usually attached to that

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: entire unit. So when you know Simon mentioned Patrick Mahomes

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: is playing last year, he's on the field with the

121
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: first team offense, and then when he comes out and

122
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: blamed Gabbert come in this year, he's attached to the

123
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: second team offense. So you have situations where you have

124
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 4: a team really wanting to get the first unit, like

125
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 4: a full quarter of work, where the other team, you know,

126
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: they just have the second union, they're barely trying. In

127
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: those spots is when I like to attack, and you

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: have to be, you know, certain that it's going to happen,

129
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: and again it's taking years to kind of understand that.

130
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: But what I do is I actually put together this

131
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: information and package it up in like QB estimated playing

132
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: time for other people to digest. So I think that's

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: one of the best ways to kind of understand the

134
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: flow of the game and maybe look for in game

135
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: betting opportunities. But that's really when it comes to preseason betting.

136
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: That's all I'm doing is just trying to digest as

137
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: much information as possible and update my projections and everything

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: as that comes in.

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: So I'm and how about you know, and Carter mentions

140
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: quarterbacks will have situations more so to me at least

141
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: you look at like the AFC South, where you're going

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: to have an Anthony Richardson, a CJ. Stroud get their

143
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: first real crack at it, and some other scenarios like

144
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: Tampa jumps out when you got Baker Mayfield and a

145
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 3: second round pick in Kyle Trask. Is there a legitimate

146
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: competition Mac Jones Bailey ZAPPI just another example where a

147
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: Zappy or a Trask might end up getting significant time

148
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: because they want to see what they have. So when

149
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: it comes to digesting info what comes to mind.

150
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'suff definitely important right to me. The quarterback position,

151
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean, anyone knows is it's everything right and football.

152
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: That's how a lot of our models are built out

153
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: around the quarterback position. They affect the line where any

154
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: other position to sign and close. So to me, preseason,

155
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite things about it. It's I'm

156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: learning about these quarterbacks that yes they're irrelevant, but there's

157
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: always that Rock Party, right, that's that guy where when

158
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Brock Purty came on the scene, I need to go

159
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: back to preseason and watch his film and kind of

160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: figure out what this kid is. And honestly didn't help

161
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: me at all when I went back and watched his film,

162
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: because you really couldn't see how this kid's just clutch,

163
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Like when when there's a three hundred pounds lineman in

164
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: his face, he makes that right read that Shanahan likes

165
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: him to read like. It's just I love Trey Lance.

166
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: I think Trey Lance is way better than Rock Purty.

167
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: But Brock Purdy is already back from his arm injury.

168
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: That's a big deal for them this preseason, right, We're

169
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna see either Brock Purty taking those reps or if

170
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: he's not, now the four Niners have Trey Lance and

171
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: then if he's not playing, it's Sam Darnold. So to me,

172
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: that's a big advantage if you're taking the forty nine

173
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: ers this year in preseason where you know the Eagles, Yes,

174
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt's probably gonna play that much. It's Mariota, right,

175
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one playing for the Eagles this preseason.

176
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: That might give you a little more value to taking him. Right,

177
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback over say a guy who is going

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: to be playing for the Bucks. Right, that kid Trask

179
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: is a second third year player. If it's in versus Mariota,

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna give this give the advantage to Mariota

181
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: in that matchup. Now, if it's all of Tampa's number

182
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: one starters, that that again will move the line. So

183
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: that's one of those where quarterback is very important preseason,

184
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: but it's also are the starters playing who's resting? Thanks

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: Sean Nyale on the head, you really you really have

186
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: to learn what teams are bs and who are keeping

187
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: who are telling the truth because some coaches they'll flat

188
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: out a lot of the media right before the kickoff, right,

189
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: They'll be like, yeah, I'll never forget Zekle Elliott was

190
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: fully dressed. So was Dak For the Cowboys last year,

191
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: I did a large wager on the Dallas Cowboys in

192
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: the first half. They played one series, they got a

193
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: first down, then he took them out. So that's what

194
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: it says. You do need to be wary of these coaches.

195
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: They might want to just see one little thing. If

196
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: they see it, they're happy taking their guys out. So

197
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: that's why I always tell people be careful of betting

198
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: a lot because it's so much misinformation. That to me,

199
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: is most important here is you're kind of getting a

200
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: basis here for the quarterback position. That's really what you

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: want to be focused on preseason? Are the quarterbacks? Not

202
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: so much trying to make a ton of money.

203
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: Well, but you just to follow up though, you brought

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: up a good point about Mahomes and Andy Reid. Now

205
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: that just might be an Andy Reid thing where Patrick

206
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: Mahomes and we found out in that quarterback documentary on

207
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: Netflix that that dude wants to play in any any

208
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: shape or form, whether it's a preseason game, a walkthrough,

209
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: whatever it. Maybe he wants to be out there. We

210
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: didn't see as many key weapon guys like Adams last year.

211
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Tyreek kill was the example you made, They're not there.

212
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: Aren't as many of those this year now. There have

213
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: been some quarterback changes, of course, like Rogers is a

214
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: big name, a head coaching change in Denver with Sean

215
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: Payton now coaching Russell Wilson. That was a train wreck

216
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: last year. But on the subject of past catchers like okay,

217
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: I give you another one, Bryce Young all new with Sanders

218
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: and feeling they move on from DJ Moore, Are those

219
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: spots that you're circling as far as like okay, I

220
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: might see in a new coach, especially where they might

221
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: want to get see a little bit more from the

222
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: first unit.

223
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would definitely say this is we're this is

224
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: the time of year. I'm obsessed with a second, first, second,

225
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: third year quarterbacks. Like I will read all I can

226
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: about Justin Fields, I will read all I can about

227
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence Anthony. We're interested in this triokie quarterback and

228
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: the Colts. Every day I'm going over the notes from

229
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: their practices. Listen to be writers because it is a

230
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: big deal, right, You're trying to form an opinion on

231
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: these guys, and I again high on in interesting. If

232
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I think he wants to be If I think he's

233
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Look of the Year, that's someone I'm gonna

234
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: follow closely to make sure this guy is actually legit.

235
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: I'm willing to put money on him.

236
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Where Bryce Young already know what he is, right, but

237
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: anytime I see a Bryce Young article that he looked

238
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: really well in practice, it's expected. Right, he's the number

239
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: one pick, cause same field and I had with Joe

240
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. You just want to check it

241
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: in this progress so I feel like you nail it

242
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: there where it's like, Okay, I gotta really be on

243
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: top of these guys and figuring out who's legit who's not.

244
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: Just because it's a.

245
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: Big deal preseason, people might be like, oh, it's.

246
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: Not that serious. It is.

247
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Guys are playing for their jobs. Old veterans are trying

248
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: to keep their jobs over young guys. Like people might

249
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: take relaxed positions, right like Trevor Travis Kelce, he's probably

250
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: not going that hard in preseason. He's a unicorn, right,

251
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: he knows he's good. Almost every other guy in that

252
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: roster is trying to make a spot or get a

253
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: position up. So to me, it is important to watch preseason.

254
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: I know it sounds boring to people, but man, you

255
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: really got to stay these quarterbacks because it really shows

256
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: showcases their talent, especially in preseason.

257
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: Karnad one of the first things you said was coach

258
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: speak and the dress rehearsal tagline you might use on

259
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: a specific game. And I guess the good teams fall

260
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 3: under that category right where you know what you have.

261
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: Simon just kind of hit on that. But with the

262
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: teams that are a little murky, where you know you

263
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: know who the guy's going to be, you think, but

264
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: you want to see a little bit more. You want

265
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: to see reps. Another example I think is Atlanta when

266
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: they bring in give Desmond rhetor a real chance with

267
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Bjeon Robinson in the backfield, and what they've done to

268
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: make changes Houston with c J. Stroud, they changed their

269
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: whole receiving core, they added Dalton Schultz from Dallas. Just

270
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: the coach speak I can understand would be, you know,

271
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: you kind of know it's bull crap and what necessarily isn't,

272
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: But is there some value to what coaches say leading

273
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: into a game, Oh.

274
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: And you know every team is going to be a

275
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: case by case basis. I don't like to make you

276
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 4: know wide assumptions about people, but one thing I do

277
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: know is you know Simon to it like Sean McVay

278
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: doesn't play starters at all. If you're gonna be a

279
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: week one starter, he's not gonna play you. So the

280
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: Rams are always playing scrubs and more teams are kind

281
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: of going that direction. We don't really see any true

282
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: dress rehearsal games anymore. Like that used to be Week

283
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 4: three when there's four weeks of preseason. Week three was

284
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: the popular week where you could see a stud quarterback

285
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: play the entire game. You just don't see that anymore.

286
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: If you do, it's usually week two of the new

287
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: format with three weeks, so that that's one of those

288
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 4: things where we typically know going into the game a

289
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: pretty good idea of who's gonna play win. The key

290
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 4: is to react to that news as soon as you

291
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: get it, because the market does move pretty fast. So

292
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: if they were to announce, you know, Patrick Mahomes going

293
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: to play the entire first half, you can usually get

294
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 4: the number you'd probably have, like seconds before they move it,

295
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: but you could usually get the number and then they

296
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: adjust accordingly, but reacting quickly to that like more official

297
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: news where you know, if any Reid does say he's

298
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: gonna play about the half, you could typically believe him.

299
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: But it's again it's a case by case basis.

300
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: Simon, what about you? As far as incurrent laid it

301
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: out very nicely, we don't really have that four week

302
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: formula anymore. It's now three weeks, so you don't really

303
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: have that game to circle where we'll see mostly first

304
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: unit guys.

305
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: I go about preseason pretty weird. I usually bet really

306
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: small the first week, and then once I have more

307
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: data on these backups and the offense, these teams are running,

308
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: and what coaches are doing, then I'll go a little

309
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: more heavy on second week. Third week, I'll probably go

310
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: small again. So it really is only that second week

311
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: I really take advanta bunch. If you're just a boring

312
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: better right, you just want to really play it really simple.

313
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Everyone knows about the Ravens. The Ravens haven't lost a

314
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: preseason game, and I think it's what three years, sean

315
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: four years are we going on. I'll make a lot

316
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: of bets and I'll just throw the Ravens in on

317
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: a t a parlay or a teaser, whatever you want

318
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: to do. I really can't fault you for that. I

319
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of people ask about the Ravens thing.

320
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. There is no model that I can

321
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: explain what happens here with Harball and that team. But

322
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: they play really hard in the preseason, and even when

323
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: they're in games they're losing, far Ball goes all out

324
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and they usually come back and

325
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: win those games. So I don't know what to tell

326
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: people about the Ravens. They I got a lot of

327
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: questions about it. We've never seen anything like it. You

328
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: can go through all the history. The bookmakers too. They

329
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: tried to juice it up last year. They went two

330
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: and one ats last year, so the books can't catch

331
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: up to him.

332
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: Pros like me. I bet on them, but I'm scared.

333
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm betting big money on it, because

334
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm like it's eventually going to go the other way.

335
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: It's only I keep going this way for so long.

336
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: But that's I always try to tell people this. If

337
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: you're going to bet anything of preseason, please for the

338
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: love of God, bet the Ravens money line. If it

339
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: ain't broke, don't fix it. It is a lazy man's bet,

340
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: But I just I keep betting the Ravens money line

341
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: and it's been nothing but good to me.

342
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: It's kind of fascinating because they opened August twelfth against

343
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: Philadelphia at home. So is Mark Marcus Mariota going to

344
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: be the solution to knocking the Baltimore Ravens off.

345
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

346
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: Well, But of any guy that's a reputable guy, I

347
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: would imagine of him many bimes.

348
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: No, that's true.

349
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: I think he went like, oh for ten passing today though,

350
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: So he's already.

351
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: Again without giving too much away, so we got our

352
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: dress rehearsal spiel out. It's not quite the same, folks,

353
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: He's still as these guys have highlighted, you got to

354
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: really pay attention and stay locked in as the week

355
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: progresses training camp and into the preseason schedule. Favorite sources

356
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: for Intel and I realized that could be sort of

357
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: a mysterious pool of information that cannot be fully disclosed.

358
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: But Sean, do you go, do you go somewhere for

359
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: Twitter to beat reporters that kind of thing?

360
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Twitter X whatever we're calling it today

361
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: is probably my favorite.

362
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: So I have I have.

363
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: Lists, try to keep it up to date with Beat reporters.

364
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: That's really crucial, especially like leading up to the game

365
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: getting information. Sometimes you get some wacky stuff in preseason

366
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: that's not even player related. One of my favorite bets

367
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: and wins in preseason or just of all time was

368
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: I think twenty nineteen.

369
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: It was Packers Raiders.

370
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: I think the game was in like Canada or something,

371
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 4: and there's some big pothole in the end zone and like,

372
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: we can't play on this shit. So they were considering

373
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: like shortening the field, so I just instant bet the over,

374
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 4: like just sign me up, like we might get like

375
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: an eighty yard field. It was like thirty seven a half.

376
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: That's what happened. They brought the cones out, they made

377
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: the field twenty yard shorter, they removed kickoffs. I think

378
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 4: the line closed like forty one and a half or

379
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 4: something like that, and they ended up like being like

380
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 4: forty three points.

381
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: So you get.

382
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: Weird things like that, or like if they only have

383
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 4: one punter, one kicker, he gets hurt in the pregame

384
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: they have no kicker there's other things that you can do.

385
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: So preseason you.

386
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: Get some wacky stuff and they just play through it

387
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: because again, these games don't matter, but you get some

388
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: pretty big edges just by scouring Twitter and just being

389
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: one of the first people to react to the news.

390
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: So that's why I think Twitter is still the way

391
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: to go.

392
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 3: Or you have construction companies on standby.

393
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: Telling yeah too, yes, yes.

394
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: Grounds crew is curters go to that they made the

395
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: list simon the same question for you any what sort,

396
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: So not the information itself, but where the information is

397
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: coming from? Where are you looking?

398
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: And it's just funny how far football has come because

399
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: if you'll remember, if they're on remember the first Hard Knocks,

400
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: the Ravens came up to field out he played the

401
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: Vet and they refuse to play in the field. That's

402
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: how shitty the field was at the old Vet, the

403
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: old Eagle Stadium. So that would not happen anymore, that

404
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: they'd make them play that game. Yeah, So you can

405
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: do what me and Sean do, which is I have

406
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: a ton of beat writers.

407
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: Some people I really value.

408
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: If you're trying to do the lazy way, there's like

409
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: they're not even gonna call them ets, but that's what

410
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: they literally are. It's just all of the beat writers

411
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: on one feed kind of and it's just different Twitter

412
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: accounts that do that. I know Sean follows this guy.

413
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: It's at thirty two Beat Writers, so he's basically kind

414
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: of like a bot that just say someone's sweet. Spryce

415
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Young completed a pass. The student will retweet it like

416
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: it's literally a ton of BS information, but there's a

417
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: lot of good nuggets in there and you can just

418
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: all get it off from this one Twitter source. So

419
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: at thirty two BT Writers, I think he's pretty good.

420
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Like he posts a lot of the stuff in preseason

421
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: here that I really find value in. So to me,

422
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: there's just one hand all give out. I'd say follow

423
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: him for this preseason because any little thing, like literally

424
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: a guy breathes and it's impressive, he will tweet out

425
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: this this guy breathed there today and it was pretty incredible.

426
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: Like b John Robinson ran the ball really fascinated. People

427
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: are shocked that this guy can run the ball. He's

428
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: running back for the Atlanta Falcons. So it is one

429
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: of those it's gonna be a lot of information, a

430
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: lot of useless information. There are some really good gems

431
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: in there. So to me, that's one of those where

432
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: I know people hate on Twitter, they hate on social media,

433
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: these are really really great tools to use, Like you

434
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: don't have to go in there and give your opinion,

435
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: right if people annoy you, you can literally just make

436
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: a burner account where you're just following football beat writers,

437
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Like I have an account like that where I'm just

438
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: strictly using it for information. So to me, it's a tool.

439
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: And you you're Joe Public, like you're getting inside information

440
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: and you're the public. You can't beat it really, so

441
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: definitely definitely listen to beat writers on Twitter. They they

442
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: might be blown a lot of smoke up your butt,

443
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: right because they're working for the team, but overall the

444
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: information is very very very well done.

445
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: It's not like the old days though our beat writers

446
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: would get on the bus and get on the plane

447
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 3: and a lot of cases they're just doing their own thing.

448
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: A lot of times too, they're going to practices in

449
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: training camp and whatnot. But they're not I could be

450
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: wrong that they they're dialed in, don't get me wrong,

451
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 3: but it's not as close as it used to be

452
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 3: back in the back in the day where like they

453
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: were around the team all the time, all sports. I'm

454
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: glad you brought up hard knocks because looking at just

455
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: the preseason as a whole, and I mean more so

456
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: nitpicking all thirty two teams. So the Jets are going

457
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: to be on hard knocks. And there was the report

458
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 3: that came out from Adam Schefter, and I know Aaron

459
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: Rodgers has been outspoken. It's not going to be as

460
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 3: dialed in as previous years because the Jets find it

461
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: unethical to show guys getting cut, which in a way,

462
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna just find out if the guy got cut

463
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 3: or not. It's more so just how the story unfolded

464
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: and how we sab and we're sad and hopefully he

465
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: gets another opportunity. But you're going to get some intel

466
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: on what the environment's like. You know we've had We

467
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: can go down the list of all the teams that

468
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 3: have been on there but suspended players we know about that.

469
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: Some guys from the Lions. Lions really stole the headlines

470
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: in the offseason. Some other guys from other teams have

471
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 3: also been in that gambling mix. Not as many suspensions

472
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 3: for like domestic violence or just talking this year that

473
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 3: is or steroid use, whatever it may be. But when

474
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: we look at like the bigger picture, those types of

475
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: public consumption, things like a Hard Knocks, what are we

476
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: looking at their kerner potentially from any can you glean

477
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: from that?

478
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I'm not a big you know, beat on

479
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: narratives and things like that, but certainly when it comes

480
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: to Hard Knocks, I think they will get more public money.

481
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: You know, people will be interested in them and bet

482
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 4: on them, so that might inflate the number and give

483
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: us some value. But for me to like actually fade

484
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 4: the jets, it would have to be more practical, Like

485
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 4: we'd have to get where ten Boyle is going to

486
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 4: play for three quarters. That's usually what triggers a bet

487
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 4: for me, as opposed to just blindly fading the team

488
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 4: that's a Hard Knocks. But it has shown, like I

489
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: think it was Matthew Friedman put together last year, like

490
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: if you were to fade all the Hard Knocked teams,

491
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: you would have won like something over sixty percent. So

492
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 4: there could be something there, just because it probably is

493
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: inflating the lines a bit and you're probably getting some

494
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: value that way. So yeah, that is one thing that

495
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: I've been paying attention to as well.

496
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: Right, how about you, Simon.

497
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, when it comes to Hard Knocks, I'm with Sean.

498
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: It's his public perception, right, The public's going to bet

499
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: heavier on a team because now they know them better.

500
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: But I'm not too worried about the less access. I mean,

501
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: last year the lines had it. Did you see Jared

502
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: Goff talk more than three times? No, because he tried

503
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: to hide go And yeah, because he did the Rams

504
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks and he looked like an idiot. You know,

505
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: you didn't know the sun rise in the east set

506
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: in the west. It's like, I get it. I get

507
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: there's some personality I want to stay away from it.

508
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is an ego maniac. This guy is going

509
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: to love the cameras. He's one of this movies like

510
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't love the cameras. We all know Aaron Rodgers

511
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: loves cameras.

512
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: Right.

513
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: He would literally go on Pat mcav show every week

514
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: to break his own news. So that's one of those

515
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: where it's just like he's that guy that's at the bar.

516
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm not gonna drink to our tonight,

517
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: and then every night he's blacked out drunk. It's like

518
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: that's Aaron Rodgers when it comes to being on camera

519
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: and being in media. So yeah, Aaron, we get it.

520
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: You want in privacy and you just want to be

521
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: focused on the Jets. That's not really how it works

522
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: in New York. So I think it's perfect where this

523
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: is a team that arguably one of the most talented

524
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: teams in the a FC. Now they have Rogers, the

525
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: old veteran. I really do think it's gonna be a

526
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: good hard knocks for last year. You know, Dan Cambell,

527
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: the boys were fun, but they just weren't that that

528
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 1: much drama that exciting, right, So I do you think

529
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: this year is be pretty go this Jets team. There's

530
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: no value there. So I'm hoping anyone listen to this

531
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: just that will not touch this Jets team. Maybe if

532
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: they start one to three, right, that's when you come

533
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: back in another side, because they have a b real

534
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: start to their season. So that's definitely my view on

535
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: this Jets team is just wait, you're gonna get better

536
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: value to come October on this team.

537
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: You are again in August.

538
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: Outside of the narrative driven content, you guys kind of

539
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: weave this in too off the top. The quarterback information

540
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: matters quite a bit, and that's more so just team

541
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 3: specific information that you're looking at, so that info is

542
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 3: applicable for this as well. Okay, before we go, we

543
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: did mention we would touch on the Hall of Fame

544
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: game August third and Canton. The Jets will be in action.

545
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Jets, they're playing the Cleveland Browns. And

546
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 3: this one's underway on Saturday or no part of me. Thursday,

547
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: August third, National TV, NBC eight o'clock. Start lines are

548
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: up at fandle Cleveland one and a half point favorite,

549
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: minus one twenty five on the money line total. And

550
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 3: we didn't dive into a lot of totals, and but

551
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: Kerner did bring up the total example that he mentioned

552
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: back in twenty nineteen. These totals are really low in

553
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: these games because we're not getting starters. We're getting really

554
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 3: schmucks and guys selling, you know, waving creators at Walmart

555
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: down the road. Here total said at thirty three and

556
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: a half points. And outlook for this game, curter, it is,

557
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 3: it is coming up. It's very soon.

558
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's too soon to really have a heart take.

559
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 4: I haven't placed any bets or anything, but the one

560
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: thing that I do. Let so let me just backtrack.

561
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: When it comes to this game, We're not going to

562
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 4: see Aaron Rodgers play. We're not going to see Deshaun

563
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: Watson play. It's going to be all scrubs. And on

564
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: the brown side, all three quarterbacks Josh Doobbs, Dorian Thompson,

565
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: Robinson and Kellamond have rushing ability. And when it comes

566
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 4: to these games, especially an ugly Hall of Fame game,

567
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 4: that's huge because these defenses, you know, they lay back,

568
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 4: they play a very soft, vanilla based defense.

569
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: So if these.

570
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 4: Guys have rushing upside, they could pick up chunk gains

571
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: with their legs and kind of overcome the inefficient passing

572
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: game that we'll see. So I think that's kind of

573
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 4: sneaky on the brown side and for the over. And

574
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 4: on the Jet side, you know you have Zach Wilson,

575
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 4: who knows how much he's gonna play, but you know

576
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 4: he has upside, so he's good for the over. Tim

577
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: Boyle sucks, so when he's on the field, that's gonna

578
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 4: be bad. But Chris Streveler same thing. He has rushing upside.

579
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 4: So when it comes to preseason these ugly games, guys

580
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: that have rushing upside. I think the environment's a little

581
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 4: bit higher scoring than people think. So this is a

582
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: game usually it's very low scoring, but I could see

583
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 4: how this goes over, you know, thirty three and a half.

584
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 4: But again, need more information on this game, but it's

585
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: going to be ugly for sure.

586
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: Remember way back when Cleveland had a Thursday night game

587
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: and they were really digging deep into that running back

588
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: depth chart. I think Demetric Felton is still in their

589
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 3: depth chart. He was like a savior for some folks.

590
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: I remember in a Thursday night game him and somebody

591
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: else I can't remember, but that he's a back for

592
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: Cleveland that could see time. So Simon, after all everything

593
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: we just talked about, how would you just using Jets

594
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: Browns as an example is not the best one because

595
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 3: we know we're not going to get many reps or

596
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: series from starters. How would you sink your teeth into

597
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 3: potentially betting this game?

598
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: What a gift?

599
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: One more time we get to fade Zach Wilson, so

600
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be on the Browns. Talk to a good

601
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: friend of mine who's a bookmaker in Vegas. He says,

602
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: right now, it's all Jets money. So it's nice to

603
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm fading the public by taking the Browns, and I'm

604
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: also fading Zach Wilson in a sense of think Sean Nilde.

605
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of running quarterbacks on this on

606
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: this Browns team, and that's kind of like that's something

607
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: I look for, but it's something I do like where

608
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, now, if to worry about this guy

609
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: throwing stupid passes, like it's either first red or they're

610
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna pull down and run the ball. Zach Wilson, he's

611
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna try to force things in there, right. He's kind

612
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: of like one of those guys where I think he

613
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: sees right on the wall. He needs to just kind

614
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: of show up these next preseason games, keep a roster

615
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: spot these upcoming two seasons. So to me, that's the

616
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna be filling the pressure where the Browns

617
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be playing loose. It's an interesting

618
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: number if you look at the summer, it's kind of

619
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: look at a pick. It's like some books have a

620
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: minus more and a half for the Jets. It's a

621
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: weird number where all the money's been coming on the

622
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: Jets it really hasn't moved that much. So to me,

623
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: the book makers know the public like the Jets, they're

624
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna be the hard knocked team. So I'm gonna take

625
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: the value on this Browns team and just hope these

626
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: guys will turn.

627
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: The ball over.

628
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: That's the biggest way with these quarterbacks as turnovers because

629
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: their killers in preseasons. Just in such a low scoring

630
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: mat which is a turnover is such a killer. So

631
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I'll definitely on the Browns in this Hall of Fame game.

632
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: Big totals have hit at a rate of fifty five

633
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 3: percent or better when it comes to the over on

634
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 3: a total. Do you guys have anything to add on

635
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: just totals and how to caution a new better or

636
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 3: someone you know? Simon mapped it out nicely. If you're

637
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: throwing a casual five bucks or you're really not paying attention,

638
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: but you're trying to pay more attention and you see

639
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: a glaring low total, like Simon, last year, there was

640
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 3: a week in the NFL December it's the Arctic blast

641
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: week where the totals are super low. Well, folks, keep

642
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: in mind we're in the month of August. It's it's

643
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: warm pretty much everywhere. Would you caution folks on totals

644
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: just to take on totals for preseason?

645
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 4: Again, it depends on which quarterback, which unit's going to

646
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: be on the field at a given time. So when

647
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: it comes to totals, I rarely just bet the whole game.

648
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: I'm usually taking you know, the first quarter or the

649
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 4: first half, or again waiting until the second half because

650
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: I like the matchups on that back end, So I

651
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: don't think of the total as a whole. I think

652
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 4: of each quarter basically, So I think that's the best

653
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 4: way to attack when you have good information, is betting

654
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: on like individual quarters or halves as opposed to the

655
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 4: whole game. So that's usually how I attack it.

656
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: Okay, good stuff from Sean Kerner and Simon Hunter. You
