1
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Welcome the Favorite Podcast. I am Chad Milman of the

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Action Network. This is the Super Contest edition, which means

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I am going to welcome in my brother, my Action

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Network brother, in the gold Lemon maid jacket with no shirt. Yeah.

5
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean you said a week or two ago that

6
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: I was barely wearing a shirt anymore. So I figured,

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: what the hell, let's just get rid of it all together.

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: What happens when you get on the Long Island Railroad

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: in a jacket like that and no shirt? I mean

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: public transit these days, Chad is very impersonal. Everyone's just

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: got headphones in and eyes down, so really nothing. Nobody

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: even notices you. Noah, it's kind of disappointing. I hope

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: for some reaction, but it's tough to get one these days.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I know you like a reaction. Um we I can't lie.

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: I cannot lie. We'll get to business. We got to

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: talk about our picks from last week. We went three

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: and two. One of us, uh middled one of our picks,

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: and um, we can talk about that. I'm a little

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: it's very early on Thursday morning, as is our custom. Uh,

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: you've brought in a cordial Do you wanna talk about

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: what you've brought in today, I decided to bring in

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: some patron Exo cafe. For those of you who may

23
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: not be familiar, it is a coffee flavored liqueur made

24
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: with Patron Silver tequila. And if you're wondering what it

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: tastes like, it tastes exactly like what you would imagine

26
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: tequila and coffee tastes like. UM. I would describe it

27
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: favorably as Mexican rat poison. I'm not gonna allow to you. UM,

28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable with it. I've had some. It's as

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: I said, it's early. M can't lie to you. I'm

30
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: pretty hungover. Chad had two beers last I stayed out

31
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: past nine. Um. And was it a bar with a friend?

32
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Was it a wine bar? We had some dinner, the

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: bartender had a heavy, heavy, poor and before you knew it,

34
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: I did not feel comfortable and it was a long

35
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: night and so UM, I don't love the coffee liqueur.

36
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Our podcast today is fueled by Munchkin's crispy cream and

37
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: coffee flavored patrone. YEP, that pretty much summarized it. And

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a guy in a cowboy hat, sunglasses,

39
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: a gold lab maid jacket with no shirt and he's

40
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: smoking a mango vape. And I'm thinking to myself, where

41
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: did it go wrong for me? I think this is

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: where we went right. This is living, baby, you think so,

43
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: You're not just breathing today, You're not existing, you are

44
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: living today. I mean that's true. You could like you

45
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: to look at it is like I could be sitting

46
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: in an office. I could be like in another corporate gig,

47
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: behind a desk, trying to manage something. Somebody tweeted something.

48
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I've got to get mad at him for it, you know.

49
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: Instead I do get to be doing this with a

50
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: character like you, you know, trying to drink away my hangover. Um,

51
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: it'll it'll work. And talking about betting. Do you want

52
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: to talk about the middle that I did? You want

53
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: to talk about how angry you got at me on

54
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Monday night? You got angry at tot it up people.

55
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Remember one of the one of the picks was that

56
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: we had in the super contest was Denver plus five

57
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: versus Kansas City. I bet Denver plus five and a

58
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: half versus Kansas City when it opened a week ago

59
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: before the game, and then as the game got closer,

60
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: right before the game kicked off. I saw it was

61
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City minus three and a half. I'm like, wait

62
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: a second, I've already got Denver plus five and a half,

63
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: So this to me feels like a close game. It

64
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: lands on four or five and I've gotten the middle off.

65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: I bet Kenta City three and a half right now.

66
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: So I did it. So I did it. Yeah, this

67
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: guy that's both sides of the game middling two points.

68
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: He middled two points and he fucking cashed it. At

69
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: that point when I was watching that game, I was

70
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: doing a periscope at the end of the game. I

71
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: was almost hoping that I would lose my bet just

72
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: so you didn't win both, because I knew everyone knew.

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: When I saw Scott in the office the next day,

74
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: the first thing he said is that was the worst

75
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: possible outcome that could have happened, because he's going to

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: be so smug about it. Me, you smug. I specifically

77
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: did not go into the side action slack channel it's

78
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: been five minutes and five seconds and after the game,

79
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to be obnoxious. Um. I believe

80
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: Scott Miller Um wrote at Chad Moment is a minus

81
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: two hundred favorite to be asleep right now. If you

82
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: don't watch your miracle cover doesn't even count. And then uh,

83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: and then the next morning I woke up and I

84
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: wrote for the record, I was very much awake. I

85
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: chose to stay out of the channel for fear of

86
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: how much more obnoxious I could be. As I've noted

87
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: in my Moment's Red Zone Diaries column, I can make

88
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: things happen with my mind. Good fucking morning, how's the

89
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: cherry pitter working out? Didn't go that route? And then

90
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: you wrote you wrote back, shit, And then Scott Miller

91
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: wrote back, who's one of our editors? The editor? This

92
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: was the worst possible outcome, folks. So congratulations to you

93
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: from middling two points? How many points? Like is enough

94
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: to middle? Why is it bad to middle? Two point?

95
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: And when four is a key number? You've got a

96
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: huge road favorite, a team that I believed could win

97
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: the game, because I thought that we were on the

98
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: same page. Here we are, Honestly, I thought you believe

99
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: Denver was going to win that game, black Jack. Here's

100
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: what I believe. Because if you believe Denver is gonna

101
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: win the game, this is no point middling it. This

102
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: is the difference between you and me. This is the

103
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm a man of faith and you are a I

104
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: am a man of stats. I am a rational being.

105
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: I take your finger. I don't wear a great politician

106
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: jackets I look at because you don't have the confidence

107
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: to wear. It's not about confidence. I looked at the

108
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: information in front of me, and I make the best percentage.

109
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: So the best percentage play today was that black pull over.

110
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: That was the best play today. Really, that was personal.

111
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: You brought the gold lamb a up listen last week

112
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: in the super Contest. For those who don't know our goal,

113
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: here make five picks for the Las Vegas Westgates Super Contest.

114
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: The goal is for us to win one point four

115
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. So every pick has massive steaks behind it.

116
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Last week we were three and two. The week before

117
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: we were three and two and on a little bit

118
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: of a role. I think we've gotten burned last week

119
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: by the two teams we've met more than any the

120
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: Colts and the Giants, and the Giants. We gotta walk

121
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: away from really done with the Giants. So so like

122
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I've divorced myself from the Giants. Who are they playing

123
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: this week? They are playing um, the Panthers. Yeah, hello, hello, No,

124
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: we'll get there. No, no, we know better. Should we

125
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: get this thing rolling? So we say hello to our

126
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: friend Georgina Tottenham at Cardiff City Tottenham by Oh wait, sorry,

127
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: that's my other PoCA so black Jack. What flavor vapy

128
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: vaping today? Cramber today? Beautiful? Thank you for asking. Yeah,

129
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: it has more of a coffee flavor, which actually is

130
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: a nice accompaniment to the patron. Before we get started here, chat,

131
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I just want to talk for a second, because this

132
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: podcast has been wildly successful. Um. We have millions and

133
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: millions of listeners and it's just been a whirlwind. So

134
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: it gave me an idea and I took it upon

135
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: myself with the help of our producers here, to create

136
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of a spinoff. You know, the most popular thing

137
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: in podcasting is these true crime podcasts, right, things like

138
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Cereal and Sword and not the Sword and the Stone

139
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: that's a kid's thing. Sword and Scale Antonio, thank you. Um,

140
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: these things are really popular. So I decided to make

141
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: a spin off for everyone listening. This is the first

142
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: time Chad's hearing this, so his reaction will be and

143
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: it is. Uh. The working title is called The Silent Bell.

144
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Everyone in Pittsburgh is wondering what happened to a twenty

145
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: five year old man. He was last seen in two

146
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen. He's six ft one, two thirty pounds and

147
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: has a forty time at four point six seconds. Don't

148
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: want to do I don't want to have a revocation.

149
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: We happened last year, and I'm obviously I gotta do

150
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: what I gotta do, and I don't take my standing

151
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: for take myself. That Steelers running back Levian Bell. Some

152
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: say he's the best running back in the league. The

153
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: only thing is he's gone missing. See it's already Week

154
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: five of the NFL season and he hasn't shown up

155
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: for a single game. Levian Bell is the star running back.

156
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: He is one of the premier players in this league.

157
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: So Nate, where is he now? Bell has gone missing before.

158
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: The last time was on January fourteenth, two thousand eighteen,

159
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: in a Divisional round match up against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

160
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: He's also managed to go missing literally every time the

161
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: Steelers play the New England Patriots, but this time it

162
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: feels different. There are a lot of theories on Bell's disappearance.

163
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: I want that type of contract that type of long

164
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: term security. Levian Bell himself, who thought he could get

165
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars a year on the open market. See

166
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: ben't get his money. I've seen me castro building away

167
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: but get their money. But what about me? I have

168
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: another theory. I think he's been kidnapped. Do I have evidence?

169
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: Well not exactly, but people eat these true crime podcasts

170
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: up like Jamis Winston needs crab legs, so I'll worry

171
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: about evidence later. What's going on here? What are you

172
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: doing Levy on? Bell's gone missing? He's coming back a

173
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: week seven? You just announced that? Or is he? Because

174
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: can you go? I have the room until twelve and

Speaker 1: Silent Bell, that's our serial spinoff. I am so impressed,

178
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,680

00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: to be. Well. I know that. That's why I did

180
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,600

181
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I am inspired. I am totally inspired. I don't even

182
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: know what to say. I almost have tears in my eyes.

183
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: And it's not the hangover or the coffee patron is

184
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: really it's not even like the reflection from your jacket.

185
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: It's only my pride and admiration for what you put together.

186
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. That's why I do what I do.

00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: You are a creative force. Yeah, I am. Remember that.

188
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: The best part about that the was Matt Ford, our

189

Speaker 1: producer in the background, walking in and You're like, I

00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: we gotta get to business here because I do. I listen,

194
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: let's just take the first five. I got a budget meeting.

195
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: I gotta I do have a budget meut, I gotta go.

196
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: We gotta wrap this up, which weans you've got to

197
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: start this up. Georgina green Bay at Detroit Packers by one,

198
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: No thanks week two. Yeah, I kind of agree with you.

199
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Rogers didn't look right, does he? Well, he doesn't look

200
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: like because he's playing in one leg. Yeah, great observation.

201
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like bell it disappeared. I know, But

202
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: don't you kind of expect that Aaron Rodgers can play

203
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: on one leg at this point? Like, is there anything

204
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: he can't do? I had a boss. He used to say, like, uh,

205
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: let's not be the masters of the obvious modo? Right there,

206
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He doesn't look right. No, but I expect

207
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: him to be able to play on one leg. I mean,

208
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything he can to has been, yeah,

209
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: but just not very well. Yeah, that's why we're skipping

210
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: the game. I don't even know why we're talking about it.

211
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: It's the patron chad. It's gonna be interesting. Tennessee a

212
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Titans by three and a half. Give me the

213
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Yeah, come on, for once. I'm with you

214
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: on your home dog theory. I hate the Tennessee Titans.

215
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: I hate everything about him. Give me the Buffalo Bills.

216
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: Tell me why other than other than emotion like this

217
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: is our yng and yang here, I have reasons rational.

218
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I think the Bills defense is going to cause a

219
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: lot of problems for Tennessee. I do. I think the

220
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Bills defense is underrated. I think people generally are looking

221
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: at that team like it's an absolute train wreck. And listen,

222
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hasn't done a hell of a lot to

223
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: impress me. But I guess he's been better than I

224
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: thought no, No, I thought he was gonna be really

225
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: really bad, really bad. Look at what Jeff does on Twitter.

226
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be like Nathan Peterman bad. Yeah, Okay,

227
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: he's better than that. Um yeah, I think most of

228
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: this play really, to me comes down to the Bills defense.

229
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I I like their defense. I'm still not sold on

230
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee's offense at all. The fact that Marcus Mariotto was

231
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: the a f C Player of the Week last week

232
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: maybe throw up in my mouth. It's like, what were

233
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: they watching? There was nobody better, nobody. Did you see

234
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: what Tom Brady did to the Dolphins that wasn't better?

235
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: This is what's so interesting about when I listened to

236
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: you talk about games. We're both on the Bills. I'm

237
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: not on the Bills for any of the reasons. You

238
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: just why are you on the Bills? Uh? I did

239
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: watch that Titans game last week. It was a miracle.

240
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah they think the Eagles like I was all over

241
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: the Titans in that game. Uh. They every single thing

242
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: that could go right for them went right for them.

243
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: Multiple penalties on the Eagles on fourth downs when they

244
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: were triving to win the game, going forward on fourth

245
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: down to win the game, instead of kicking a tying

246
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: field goal. Like every single thing they needed to go

247
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: right went right. It's like that miracle cover, miracle win

248
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: that the Patriots had, like unique like in the Super

249
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Bowl a couple of years ago in Saint Falcons. Everything

250
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: we're right for the Titans. So now you've got a

251
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: Titans team going on the road to Buffalo. It's gonna

252
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: be very hot and Buffalo. Um wait, yeah, it's gonna

253
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: be like eighty degrees this week. Alright for serious, we

254
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: want to go to a game there in December. Read

255
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: Action Network dot Com. Read Markey Mark he's got the

256
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: uh the weather report. Um, but the Titans are just

257
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: way overvalued right now. There's no way that Titans should

258
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: be three, which insane that anyone is overvaluing the Tennessee Titans.

259
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: They are because they had a huge win against the Eagles,

260
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: and bookmakers know that people bet what they last saw,

261
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: and what they're seeing is a a Bill's team that

262
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: got blanked by the Packers and Aaron Rodgers who doesn't

263
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: look right on one leg, and a Titans team that

264
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: just came back in a miracle way against the Eagles

265
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: who never should have been favored by that much when

266
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: they were on the road against the Titans anyways, because

267
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: the Titans in the covernent all the year, because their

268
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: defense is really good. You know where people are underestimating

269
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia. Bill's mafia is gonna have a big impact

270
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: in this game. Unless unless they're fucking playing, they're not

271
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna matter. But okay, Chad doesn't matter, Bills Mafia doesn't matter.

272
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: You can't even you can't even jump on the tables anymore.

273
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: If you don't think they're jumping through tables in Buffalo,

274
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: you're out of your mind. Can we just why are

275
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: we getting mad at each other? Like we agree on

276
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: the game. It's going to be that kind of day.

277
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: We were on the same side. We got again, We

278
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: got the Bills. Georgina Jacksonville at Kansas City Chiefs by three.

279
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: This one's easy by Jacksonville. I mean the jague is

280
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: of course, thank you. This one's easy. It's a pass. Now,

281
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: it's not this game is perfectly it's not perfectly handicapped. No,

282
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: it's not. Jacksonville. Listen, you saw what what Denver was

283
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: able to do last week against Kansas City. Their defense

284
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: did slow Mahomes down. There's no doubt about it. Okay,

285
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: particularly for three quarters. That defense absolutely slowed that machine down. Okay,

286
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: and even his numbers for the whole game paled in

287
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: comparison to the first three weeks. Jacksonville's defense is markedly

288
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: better than Denver's defense. Also, their offense is better than

289
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: Denver's offense. I can't believe I'm saying this about Blake Bortles,

290
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: but he's actually having a really nice year. Okay, he's

291
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: doing well. The running game in Jacksonville is better than

292
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: the running game in Denver. And you saw Denver just

293
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: run all over Kansas City with Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. Okay,

294
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: now you're gonna bring Leonard fo Net and t J.

295
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Yelden in a right So t J. Yelden, I'll take him.

296
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: He's still better than those two. Jacksonville is a clearly

297
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: better team than Denver, and you're going to give me

298
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: three points. They saw what worked last week, what Denver did.

299
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: What worked with Denver, Jacksonville has the players to do

300
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: it even better. Again. This is this, This is honestly

301
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: why not to give our producers credit. This is the

302
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: genius of this podcast. Do you know why it is

303
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: not easy for two people who are diametrically opposite sides

304
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: of the way they handicapped games to come to a

305
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: consensus on five picks each week. True, it's actually been

306
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: pretty easy for us so far. No, it hasn't. We

307
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: haven't reached the end of the slate without five. Well,

308
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten there without pain points. Like right now,

309
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: you're I mean Jacksonville is catching three in this game. Yeah,

310
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: I I understand the language of the point spread. So

311
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: I mean what you say it? So what's part of

312
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: this So part of this equation? Do you think Kansas

313
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: City has a better game than they did against Denver.

314
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: It's not about the better game, it's about is their value.

315
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have anything because I think this

316
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: game should be a pick. All right, let's make it.

317
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: Maybe this should be a pick. Maybe we'll come back

318
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: to it. It's fine, We're allowed to put a pin

319
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: in it. You it's not gonna bote well for our

320
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: honeymoon in Italy. We'll get to our next pick in

321
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: a second. First. Keenland is a historic horse racing track

349
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: let's get on with the show. Georgina Miami at Cincinnati

350
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Bengals by six and a half. Of course, Chad likes

351
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals every week. He's like the Andy Dalton of

352
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: sports betting. Oh oh, that would imply that Chad's mediocre

353
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: at sports betting, and he's not so. Um. If Georgina

354
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: does not have a rip today calling me the middle

355
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: Monster the middle Month, you didn't do that. Now, that

356
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: was a mistake. I don't know how, because that's all

357
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm calling myself these days. Middle Months. Yeah, someone should

358
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: have thought of that. Someone wake up Georgina right now

359
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: and get her to record something fast. I know she's

360
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: got twins and it's five thirty in the morning. Who

361
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: care but wake her up? Uh that's said. I don't

362
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: like the Bengals here. Too many points. Yeah, I agree,

363
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: So they're Georgina. We're passing Baltimore at Cleveland, Ravens by three.

364
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: The Browns are so the right side in this game.

365
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: It's frightening. This is where the wise guy money is.

366
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: I am telling you right now. I am telling you.

367
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: I can look in the Action Network about the Browns.

368
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: To me, it's about It's about the Ravens. The Ravens.

369
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: The Ravens to me, are too unpredictable. One week you

370
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: see this team come out on offense and they look

371
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: like they are utterly inept and they can't do anything right.

372
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: And then the next week they come out and then

373
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: they'll put thirty five on the board. I don't know

374
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: what I'm getting from week to week with this team. Also,

375
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: their defense is pretty good, and it's gonna be the

376
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: first really good defense that Baker Mayfield's face since he's

377
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: only faced Oakland um and their defense is trash. I

378
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't love taking the Browns against that defense

379
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: for the first time. Listen to me. This is a

380
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: prime scenario. You're getting a home underdog in which their

381
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: opponent is getting nearly of the action that I gave

382
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: you a home dog with the Bills. This is I

383
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: get it's a home dog, but it's still the Cleveland

384
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: Browns and Hugh Jacksons still roaming those sidelines. Fine, fine,

385
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: guess what what. We're not going to do it, but

386
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: you know what what I'm going to bet it. I

387
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: know you're going to bet it. Allegedly your attention, please,

388
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Chad is making a bet. Allegedly, there it is. It's true.

389
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: Let's call him maybe because you might be able to

390
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: swim you on. Let's see what else we got. We

391
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: might not get anything better. This is what I decided.

392
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I decided that last one of the things that have

393
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: been going wrong for us and generally for me, is

394
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: that I was not sticking to my principles, and like

395
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: I firmly believe in playing short home favorites and home underdogs.

396
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: I think that's when like the Giants last week, and

397
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: also the Titans, and also the Cardinals, uh and so,

398
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: and also the Raiders, will you will get to the

399
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: card you hold on, We'll get to the car if

400
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: here's my point. My point is I'm not walking away

401
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: from those teams. Now. That's it's like, you play all

402
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: of those games because that's what you believe in. If

403
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: you don't play those games, then you're missing out. All right,

404
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: we'll keep it as him. Maybe let's move on. Now

405
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: you can go Georgina Denver at New York Jets by one.

406
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: So everything I said about Prince of Broncos, Um, I

407
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: can't bet the Broncos there is all right. I jumped

408
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: on this bad boy, and I think to when it opened,

409
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: the fact that the New York Jets are favorite against

410
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos that did what they did against Kansas City.

411
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: Iss it. My brain is in a pretzel right now.

412
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Are How are the Jets like still riding high on

413
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: that Lions from I don't know. I really don't know. Denver, Denver,

414
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: all day, Go ahead, Georgina, New York Giants at Carolina

415
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: Panthers by seven, No, thank you, numbers two high. Atlanta

416
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh Steelers by three. I don't like it. I

417
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: liked it when Steelers Steelers were at minus four. I

418
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: don't like this in minus three. Yeah, I don't love

419
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: it either. Um yeah, I'm with you. Next step to

420
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: Regina Oakland at Los Angeles Charges, Charges by four and

421
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: a half. I don't like it either. Hate this, hate

422
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: both teams really do, really really do Los Angeles Rams

423
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: at Seattle Rams by seven, no brainer ago, Like, we

424
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: could talk about it for the benefit of the people,

425
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: but I know what's going on in Seattle. I know

426
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: they've lost it all Thomas, who had one of the

427
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: greatest cart off moments did NFL history, when he's you know,

428
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: waving the bird at the sidelines because he's injured. Um.

429
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I like the way his teammates rallied and supported him

430
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: and didn't troll him. I know Michael Kendricks has been

431
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: suspended indefinitely. I know this team's offensive line is trash,

432
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: but I don't like any team that is as favorite

433
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: in the public's mind as the Rams. Going on the

434
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: road is a touchdown favor in a place where Russell

435
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: Wilson can back to this game at any moment, toughest

436
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: building in the NFL to play in, and that's that's

437
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Russell Wilson is going to back

438
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: to this in the fourth quarter. They're gonna be down

439
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: by like seventeen going into the fourth and they're gonna

440
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: cover this. Arizona at San Francisco is by four. I

441
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: have to tell you this is my favorite game of

442
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the week. Me too. The Arizona Cardinals boom. I have

443
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: met them on the money line. I love the Cardinals

444
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: this week more than anything. I can imagine this pet

445
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: this football season. I'll tell you why. Josh Rosen is why.

446
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: If you look at the box score from Josh Rosen,

447
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's not great, it's good. But then

448
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the film of his throws.

449
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: Look at the incompletions. Okay, Josh Rosen had six dropped

450
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: passes by his wide receiver's Chad, three of them by

451
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. And these weren't passes that were like Odell

452
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: Beckham one handed catches. These were on the money, right

453
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: on target. This kid was poisoned in the pocket under pressure.

454
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: He threw darts all day. He was accurate, he had touched,

455
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: he was able to throw the ball deep. David Johnson

456
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of looks like he's getting back into swing now

457
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: with Arizona and is look, I mean, we've got c J.

458
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: Bat Bethard Um at quarterback there. That just doesn't scare me, Like,

459
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I thought that team was lacking in

460
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: weapons when they had Jimmy Garoppolo. Although I will say

461
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: c J played pretty well this past week. Are they

462
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: asking Jimmy who in San Francisco? Maybe maybe controversy there.

463
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: There will not be a where's Jimmy video? I don't know,

464
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: Chad c J played pretty well, but either way, I

465
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: think this Cardinals team is going to get their first

466
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: win of the year this week. I love the Cardinals,

467
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: Love the Cardinals, Love the Cardinals. I've watched a lot

468
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,239
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals the past two weeks. I had him

469
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: plus six against the Bears. I had him Um plus

470
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: three and a half against our plus four against the

471
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: Seahawks last week. Their defense is starting to play a

472
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: lot better. They're pressuring the ball. The pass rush is

473
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: really strong. Uh, some of the things they weren't doing

474
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks they're starting to do. I love

475
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: him him to, Like, who's my favorite quarterback in this draft?

476
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'll tell you. Last night I

477
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: went out with a friend can't name him, and we

478
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: were having a long conversation about right Now, if you

479
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: could take you know, I'm ambarrass fan. If you could

480
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: take Mitch Trobisky, Josh Rosen or Baker Mayfield, I would

481
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: I would choose between Rosen and Mayfield before Troubinsky. And

482
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: this is true. Whisky coming off his six touchdown game

483
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: against Tempay Buccaneers. Um, he like the guy looks like

484
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: he just never thinks about the play before. He does

485
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: not look rattled, He does not look like the moment

486
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: is too big for him. Um, I really really am

487
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: impressed in the action I've seen, Like he played like

488
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: crap in that game. Like you're right, the stats did

489
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: not look good in that game again Seahawks, and he

490
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: still kept the team in the game and like was

491
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: making the throws really hard throws and so um, those

492
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: were not These weren't like little dump offs like you see, Josh.

493
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: These are You've got to be accurate. You've got to

494
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: have a strong arm. I'm all over this game, all

495
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: over it. In fact, to come on the money line,

496
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: your attention please, Chad is making a bet allegedly go

497
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: money line. I don't have the courage for that money line.

498
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: I talked madd into it. We did it together. He's weak.

499
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: Now you gotta do it. Have a little faith man,

500
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: live on the edge. This Cardinals team is winning this game.

501
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: They are winning this game, winning it. I live the Niners, dake.

502
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: They have beaten only the Detroit Lions, and that was

503
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: with the Hall of Fame quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo under center.

504
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: There's no way they're winning this game. Cardinals all day long.

505
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: Before you know it. By the way, right now, we've

506
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: got three games left and we've got we love the

507
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks plus seven. We love the Cardinals plus four, and

508
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: we love the Bills plus three and a half. Like oh,

509
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: and we also love Denver. Yeah. Interesting to me. On

510
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: to the next Minnesota at Philadelphia Eagles by three. Do

511
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: you think Carson Wentz looks a bit like Prince Harry?

512
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: Take the Eagles? He does, But I want the Vikings.

513
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't want either. I don't blame you. I like

514
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: I like Minnesota here, but I don't love it. No, no, nothing.

515
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: I love Dallas at Houston Houston by three. Oh god, no.

516
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: These teams are trashed to not doing it. It's really

517
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: interesting to me. The Cowboys over the years have just

518
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: been one of those teams that are a huge public

519
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: team right and getting all getting action no matter what.

520
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: In the Wednesday edition of The Favorite with Bob scucci um, which,

521
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: by the way, black Jack, it's the most popular edition

522
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: of the Favorites. I'm just telling you, why are you

523
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: tell me that you've got some works to do? You

524
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: don't have to bring some more. I'm showing up here

525
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: drinking fucking to kill and coffee at eight in the morning.

526
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: Well more do you want out of me? Yeah? Because

527
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: I had stopped and get treats for you. I brought

528
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: treats and I was here on time. You brought a

529
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: tiny little box of munchkins. Okay, that's what you think

530
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: of everyone in this room, Munchkins. I brought a dozen

531
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: crispy cream doughnuts, various different flavors and patrone liqueur. Okay,

532
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: that's what I think of people in the room. Munchkins.

533
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: Hello in the fourth grade was a classy gesture. So

534
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: we're passing on that. Oh. The point is The point

535
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: is that Scooch was saying nobody nobody's interested in the

536
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys anymore. This team has no personality. There's nothing to

537
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: root for on this team. Dude, How does Jason Garrett

538
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: have a job. It's weird, right, how it's so weird?

539
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: Washington at New Orleans Saints by six and a half?

540
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: Lay it? Oh God, no, no, no, I will not

541
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: lay it. You have to. You have to know the Redskins.

542
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: The Redskins askins. Can I tell you about Alex Smith?

543
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: They tell you about the Saints? They secretly stink. No

544
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: they don't, Yeah they do, No, yeah they do, Yes,

545
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Now you're wrong. I'm not wrong. Here's what's

546
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: gonna happen. This game is gonna be thirty seven seventeen.

547
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Uh an impasse. This Saints defense is horrendous. Okay, don't

548
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: be fooled by what they did to the Giants. Are

549
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: you in the team with Hotel Beckham and s Juan Barkley?

550
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Don't be fooled by that. They cannot get it right.

551
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Who are the Redskins best playmakers? By the way, Yeah,

552
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Peter, do we see what one now? Pierre Garsons

553
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Let's pass, Let's just pass. We're we're

554
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: on we're we're on such opposite sides on this game,

555
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: and the truth is we should be going back to UM.

556
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: I would say, here's what we're at right now, we're

557
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: through all the games. Okay. We both like the Bills

558
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: plus three and a half against the Titans. We both

559
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: like the Broncos as one point dogs to the Jets.

560
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: We both like the Seahawks at plus seven against the

561
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: Rams at home. Love. We are in love with the

562
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals plus four against the San Francisco forty Niners. The

563
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe's we have right now. This is Jacksonville Cleveland our

564
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville plus plus three or Cleveland plus three. Just think

565
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: about that for one second. What you just said. This

566
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: is Jacksonville plus three or Cleveland plus three. Now in

567
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: your brain, I know, because I'm looking at you. Something

568
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: goes off in your head and you know it's happening

569
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: right now, but you don't want to admit it. There's

570
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: something happening that's telling you this is ridiculous. I can't

571
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: take Cleveland over Jacksonville. It is. It is hard to say, yes,

572
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: I want the Browns against the Ravens instead of the Jaguars. Yep,

573
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: as you pour yourself another you know what, it's terrible,

574
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: but it's in front of me. Fine, I'm doing this.

575
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing this against all of my principles. Do you

576
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: want the brown slap bad. Look, I just feel like

577
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: I'm getting a home underdog. That's we're talking about. Feel

578
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: you scream at me for that every week? Tell me,

579
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: do you honestly believe the Browns have a better chance

580
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: of covering than Jacksonville? I do, fine, don Let's take

581
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: him Cleveland Bucket, Cleveland. Okay, all right, we're taking the Browns.

582
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: Where is that game? I can't even find that one

583
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: is on you, which means we will go one and

584
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: four and that will be the one that covers. I

585
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: don't mind the pressure, you know, why what do't you

586

Speaker 1: we sharp? Well? Either way, the knife needs to be

592
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: sharp to scrape this barrel because we are deep in

593
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: the trash. It's gonna be ugly, it's gonna be it's

594
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna be really really. This is one of those weekends

595
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: where in the second quarter we're gonna be convinced We're

596
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: losing every one of these games, and we're praying for

597

598
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: know on Sunday, I'm going to look at the Browns.

601
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: going to hand the Chiefs their first loss of the year.

602
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: They probably are. Maybe I'll bet the Jacks don't please.

603
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,520
