What are 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: you betting on this year in the AFC West And gentlemen, 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: let's get after it. Andrew Erickson the undertaker, Terrell Furman 14 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 1: Junior here to break it all down and let's jump 15 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: in with two feet and talk about some of the 16 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: changes here. And there's been a fair amount of them 17 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: in this division. Year over year. The Kansaity Chiefs got 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: to another Super Bowl and lost a Super Bowl and 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: typically that doesn't bode well very much for those teams 20 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: that that happens to. Historically speaking, in the last twenty 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: five years, but the Las Vegas Raider is probably the 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: biggest change because they got a new head coach, Pete Carroll, 23 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: a new quarterback, Gino Smith, a new running back Ash 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: and Genty, an other wide receiver Jack Bash and Jeremy 25 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Chin there as well. So, Terrell, let's start with you 26 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: on this one. We have a lot of turnover, a 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: new look Vegas team, new coaching staff, new systems, a 28 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: lot of new And I think there's one thing we know. 29 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: Typically when there's a lot of new, it takes little 30 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: time for things to kind of gel. Do you think 31 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 1: that is what is waiting ahead for the Las Vegas 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Raiders in twenty twenty five? 33 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 34 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: I think that is perfectly fine with the Las Vegas 35 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: Raiders and Pete Carroll here, because Pete Carroll has been 36 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: known to build programs from obscurity and bring them into 37 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 3: semi relevance. I don't need them to be a great 38 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: team here. I don't expect them to be a Super 39 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: Bowl winning team or anything like that, but semi relevant, Yeah, 40 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: they could be semi relevant. Who's the best semi relevant 41 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: quarterback out there? Geno Smith? Now completely relevant? No, that's 42 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: a different conversation, but semi relevant absolutely, and so this team, 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: I think they could absolutely be semi relevant, not only 44 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: in this division but across the league. I think they're 45 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: gonna win some games. Think that they made upgrades and 46 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: they got healthy in the spots that they need to 47 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: get healthy. At the offensive line was an issue for them, 48 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: not because of the talent that was there, but because 49 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: they were absolutely injured at that spot. Same thing along 50 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: the defensive line. They were injured in the trenches all 51 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: last season. Now they have what they feel like is 52 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: competent QB play. They feel like their offensive line and 53 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: defensive lines are healthy and they're better, and so yeah, 54 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: I think that this team actually is going to be 55 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: able to compete all right. 56 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: So certainly an upgrade at quarterback, an upgrade at running 57 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: back with Ashton Genty, and an upgrade at head coach 58 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll, a guy who you know, whatever you 59 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: think of Pig Carrol, he's been a winning football coach. 60 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: He's been around the game for a very very long time. 61 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: Andrew Rickson, My whole point though, is when there is 62 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: a lot of new and a very competitive division, I 63 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: do think things are going to be a little tough 64 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: and gonna take some time for things to gel. I 65 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be more competitive, but I just don't 66 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: know eventually if it's gonna, you know, be too little, 67 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: too late. I guess that's the point I'm making. But 68 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: what do you think about the Raiders and all this 69 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: newness surrounding the team in twenty twenty five? 70 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: I think they might be a fun team to back 71 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: against the spread because I think they'll probably underdogs and 72 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: a lot of games they'll play tight, they'll be competitive. 73 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: But when you look it up and down this division, 74 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 4: how can you not rank or, at least in my opinion, 75 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: I think you're ranking Pete Carroll and Gino Smith as 76 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 4: the worst head coach quarterback combination. And that's not to 77 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: say that they wouldn't if they were in another division. 78 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 4: You feel so much better about their win total. But 79 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 4: Harba Herbert, who are you gonna take? I'm gonna take 80 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 4: Carbon Herbert Nix and Sean Payton in year two. Maybe 81 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 4: it's debative of Nicks doesn't has a sophomore slump. I 82 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 4: could see maybe Gino and peekerro who have obviously chemistry 83 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 4: from Seattle, maybe they overlap. But Denver Broncos rosters is 84 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 4: pretty loaded on the defense side of the ball. Offensive 85 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 4: side of the ball, they'd add a lot of pieces 86 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 4: as well. And you have the Chiefs who are always 87 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: at the top. So I think that they are going 88 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: to be at one of these teams that we look 89 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: at and say they're a lot better than their record 90 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 4: because of the opponents that they have to face. 91 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: Now we know the Chargers want to run the football. 92 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: We thought that last year they just really have the 93 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: horses to do it. This year, different story. They signed 94 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Nausea Harris as a free agent. They drafted Murray and Hampton. 95 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: They also drafted Trey Harris, so hopefully he starts to 96 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: fit in sooner than later. Andrew for this Los Angeles 97 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: Charger team, I think this is a much better look 98 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: in the backfield than it was last year. A team 99 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: that certainly is going to throw the ball to and 100 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. It's not going to, you know, all of 101 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, become the twenty five hundred yard passing guy. 102 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I think everybody was overrating that a little bit last year. 103 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: In fact, he could have had a better year if 104 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: maybe Quintin Johnson could hold on to a couple more 105 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: balls here and there. That would have been nice. But 106 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: looking at what the identity of this team is, and 107 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: at least what they desire it to be, this is 108 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: a really good offseason. I feel like for the Chargers 109 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: to get closer to that. I know the playoffs didn't 110 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: end the way they wanted it to. They got embarrassed 111 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: by the Houston Texans, But Andrew, I think they can 112 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: really compete for this division this year. What do you 113 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: think about the new backfield and the new piece at 114 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver that they're flaunting this year? 115 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: I think the Chargers made a lot of great upgrades. 116 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: The identity of a Greg Roman offense is to run 117 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: the football, and last year they tried to do that 118 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 4: with not the greatest running back room they had JK. 119 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Dobbinson. 120 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: At the start of the year, it looked like he 121 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: was back, but he never ends up playing the entire season, 122 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 4: so he fizzled out. Gus Edwards was the engine behind 123 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: this Chargers backfield for too many games. He's not even 124 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 4: on a team right now. So upgrading that to a 125 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 4: stable veteran presence in Najie Harris four straight one thousand 126 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 4: yard seasons and then throwing in a first round pick 127 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: explosive O'maron Hampton. I think that tenfold that they've improved 128 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 4: across that backfield. The offensive line is really really good, 129 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: and you have multiple outs because if you end up 130 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 4: going in to shootout, well, Justin Herbert kN play in 131 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: those types of contests if they're forced to throw the 132 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: ball a little bit more so. I also really like 133 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: the Chargers heading into the season. 134 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: All right, Terrell, what do you think about this new 135 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: backfield at the very least of this Charger team with hardball, 136 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: because you know that running the ball, playing defense, that's 137 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: kind of his cornerstone. 138 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the backfield is fine. That's not my 139 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: issues with the Chargers. My issues with the Chargers is 140 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 3: the offensive line. I didn't think the offensive line was 141 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 3: good last year at all. Justin Herbert was getting beat 142 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: up and it was very up and down with the 143 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: run game at times, and you know that's what he 144 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: wants to do, run the flipball. I didn't feel like 145 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: they got very good offense line play. I thought the 146 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: interior of the offensive line was a very much a 147 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: downpoint for them, and they really didn't tackle it how 148 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: I would have liked to see them tackle it. We 149 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: know that they have the tackle spots good, Joe alt 150 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: or Shawn Slater, that's good, but those three in the middle, 151 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: they haven't figured out any type of continuity there. And 152 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: they bring in Makai Becton from this Eagles Super Bowl 153 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: winning guard now apparently, and he's supposed to be this 154 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: big thing for him, but he's still very questionable in 155 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: the pass game. He's a lot better in the run game, 156 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: so maybe the running the running game still is really solid, 157 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: but he's questionable as a pass rusher, I mean as 158 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: a pass blocker. And so I'm very, very questionable on 159 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: what center is going to look like for them, what 160 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: the guard spots are going to look like for them, 161 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: because if they don't figure that out in a division 162 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 3: that has Chris Jones, you're going to be really, really 163 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 3: frustrated more games than not. So I'm not sold on 164 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 3: the Chargers and that is a big contention point. And 165 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: then along with the defense, the defense I think is 166 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: very questionable this year. 167 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: Well, one thing that's not questionable with the defense of 168 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, and it just got better because Jday 169 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: Barron was the big first round pick for them, so 170 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: arguably the best secondary in the League one good that 171 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: that conversation. They did fortify their backfield as well R J. Harvey, 172 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: they drafted, they brought in JK. Dobbins, and then they 173 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: signed Evan Ingram who had a injury riddle season last year. 174 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: So a lot of this looks good in theory. It's 175 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: just a matter of does bo Nicks avoid that sophomore slump. 176 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: But from what you saw in the off season of 177 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: the Broncos, are you encouraged or discouraged here? 178 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: Terrell, I am encouraged. I think the Broncos have a 179 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: chance to knock the Chiefs off finally for the division lead. 180 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: I think this is going to be very competitive between 181 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: those two teams. The Broncos have built the team that 182 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: has the identity to beat the Chiefs. You have a 183 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: good offensive line, you run the football, limit mistakes, and 184 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: you play really good defense and they're stacked around all 185 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: over the defensive side of ball. So I think this 186 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: is going to be a good opportunity for Bownicks, who 187 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: was in the second year in the league, second year 188 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: with the systems, second year with this head coach, and 189 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 3: for a lot of rookie qbs, they can't say they 190 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: have that Opportunity. 191 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: Ericson what are your thoughts on the Broncos. Do you 192 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: think they can actually challenge for this division this year 193 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: with the offseason moves that they. 194 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 4: Made, I think that they'll be In the conversation, it's 195 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 4: always tough to knock off the top dog when it 196 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 4: comes to the Kansas City Chiefs, So I know that 197 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 4: they're coming off the Super Bowl loss, and a lot 198 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: of trends are that they're not great coming off losses. 199 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: But this Chiefs team has lost the Super Bowl before 200 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 4: and won the division the next year with twelve wins, 201 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 4: so not impossible that they could still repeat as division champs. 202 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 4: I will say with the Broncos, going away from the 203 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 4: bow Knicks side of things, when Sean Payton has a 204 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 4: top ten defense, which I think, I think it's safe 205 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 4: to project top ten diver Denver Broncos, even if they're 206 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: not top five, probably a top ten defense. If you 207 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: look at historically when he's been a head coach, he's 208 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 4: had a top ten defense six times. Those win totals 209 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 4: have been ten to nine, eleven, twelve, eleven, eleven, so 210 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: averaging over. 211 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 2: Ten and a half wins per year. 212 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 4: When he has a top ten defense, and that was 213 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: in a lot of seasons that were only sixteen games. 214 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 4: So the Broncos are going to be flirting with double 215 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 4: digit wins, I think, and I think that means they're 216 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 4: going to be in the conversation we saw them, I 217 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 4: think Treu made a good point where the Broncos are 218 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: made to beat the Chiefs. They should have beat them 219 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: already last year, and then the second game it was 220 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: the Chiefs playing much backups. So theoretically the Broncos should 221 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: have actually swept the Chiefs last year. I wasn't for 222 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 4: that missed field or the blocked field goal. So yeah, 223 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 4: I think that probably it's going to be a split 224 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 4: between them one and one between the Broncos and Chiefs, 225 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: and I think they'll be in contention when it's all 226 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 4: said and done. 227 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: All Right, the Kansasity Chiefs offseason looks like this. Jalen 228 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: Moore at left tackle. They re signed Hollywood Brown and 229 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: Nick Bolton, so brought back those guys, and Josh Simmons 230 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: was the big draft pick. So ericson how would you 231 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: grade the Kansas City Chiefs offseason? 232 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: I think it was pretty solid. 233 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 4: I think they addressed the offensive issues, but they had 234 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 4: across the offensive line. Drafting Josh Simmons thought was a 235 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: really good pick, and so far the health reports for 236 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: him have been very positive of him being ahead of schedule. 237 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: I know this is basically every single injured players ahead 238 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 4: of schedules, so take it with the grain of saltil 239 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 4: we actually see him play actual snaps and they do 240 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: have Jalen More Like you said, that is there. Okay, 241 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 4: he's the guy that we're going to use at least 242 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 4: in the short term, with Simmons as the long term plan. 243 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: But I think just goes back to offensive health. 244 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: Right. 245 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: Last year, Mahomes didn't have a lot of receivers. They 246 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 4: were either young, inexperienced, or injured most of the time. 247 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 4: So Rashie Rice is back. Hollywood Brown. Yes, not a 248 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 4: difference maker, but as a player that's a full time 249 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 4: contributor on an offense, I think that makes a big difference. 250 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 4: The Chiefs have traditionally rotated so many of their wide receivers. 251 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 4: I think this year they actually have a top three 252 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 4: with Brown Rice and worry that, Hey, these are our guys. 253 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: We don't have to have the. 254 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 4: Justin Watsons of the world out there running actual routes 255 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 4: that doesn't help Patrick Mahomes. So I think if this 256 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 4: offense is healthier, I think that's going to give them 257 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 4: a pathway to win the division and win a lot 258 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 4: of games. So, even if it's not to the extent 259 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: of the fifteen wins they had last year, because they 260 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 4: won all those close games, I think the Chiefs actually 261 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: could be better than they were last year but actually 262 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: win less games. 263 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 264 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: I think that's actually a very astute way of putting 265 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: at Terrell. They had so many games where the ball 266 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: really did balance their way, or maybe some calls went 267 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: their way, and they did win a ton of games, 268 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: and we kept saying, man, this Chiefs team feels a 269 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: little paper tiger this year. I don't know if the 270 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs really did enough to make me feel like they 271 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: are back to being the juggernaut of the AFC. I 272 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: still like the Ravens. I've made no bones about that. 273 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: I think they're behind the Bills. I don't even know 274 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: if they're the best team in this division. Did you 275 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: think that they did enough this offseason to plant their 276 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: flag and say, yeah, we still are. 277 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: Man, That we were just gets thrown around so loosely. Nowadays, 278 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 3: we had questions about the Chiefs. No, I had no 279 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 3: questions about the Chiefs. I said the Chiefs were like that, 280 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 3: and it didn't matter because the Chiefs were built to 281 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 3: win close games. You have Patrick Mahomes, you have Andy Reid, 282 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: They're going to win close games. It's like Mike Tomlin, 283 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 3: where you go out and you believe them in close games. 284 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: You thought we did one show where we didn't talk 285 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: about Mike Tomlin. 286 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 3: Nope, So just like that, I love them in close games. 287 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: They're going to win close games and that's just an 288 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 3: edge that they have and it's constantly the case. So no, 289 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 3: I don't think that was a one time thing. If 290 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: you put this team in a close game with Patrick 291 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 3: Mahomes behind the helm, I'm gonna like them regardless. But 292 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: what I think that I did like here is the 293 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 3: fact of their question mark here is the offensive line. 294 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: And I feel like they did a lot better than 295 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: the Chargers, who I feel like had the same question 296 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: mark along the offensive line. In the offseason, you bring 297 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 3: in more, you bring in Simmons, and you look and 298 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: you say, hey, let's develop this into something. Let's make 299 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: this something better, because if we can protect Patrick Mahomes, 300 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 3: who was sacked I believe thirty something times last year, 301 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: thirty six sacks last year, including eleven in the playoffs, 302 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: which had six sacks in the Super Bowl. So that's 303 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: something that teams clearly were not able to take advantage 304 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 3: of last year because the Chiefs still had got over. 305 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: Their win totals still looked really, really good, and everybody 306 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: was talking about the Chiefs. So I'm very, very optimistic 307 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: of the Chiefs output this year. Not well in addition 308 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: to everything Ericson said about the weapons, but because they 309 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: at least addressed the offensive line and they tried to 310 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: make strides forward. And if that offensive line looks better 311 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: than last year, then it's going to be scary. 312 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look ahead and start to 313 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: discuss the win totals.

Today, let's take a look at the 333 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: win totals first for the Denver Broncos. They range from 334 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: seven and a half nine and a half to eleven 335 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: and a half. Terrell, what's your sweet spot here for 336 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: the Denver Bronco win total? 337 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: Yes, over nine and a half wins rather easily here. 338 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: I think this is easily a double dishit win team. 339 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: The defense is strong, we talked about it. They're borderline 340 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: top five. Projecting them top ten might be too low. 341 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 3: They might might borderline be a top five defense. You 342 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 3: have Bownicks, who was in the second year of the 343 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: system with Sean Payton, and he's gonna feel better. It's 344 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: all gonna come a lot easier to him as a quarterback, 345 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: so I think he'll be able to make a lot 346 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: better decisions and be an actual game factor for them. 347 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: I don't think that he was necessarily a game factor 348 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: for me. I think the team has an overall played 349 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: really really well last year, but this year bo Nicks 350 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 3: can take that leap to where he's actually impacting the 351 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: effects of ends of games, especially when they're down. So 352 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: I really like this Broncos team, and I'm telling you, 353 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: I think this Broncos team is going to give the 354 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: Chiefs every bit of run they can for this division. 355 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 3: May they fall up short in the end, possibly, but 356 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: I think they're going to give the Chiefs every single 357 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 3: bit of run they can for the division. 358 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm where you are, Torell. I like that nine and 359 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: a half as well, and you're getting plus money on it. Still, 360 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a lock, even if bo Nicks should 361 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: regress a little bit of a sophomore and has a 362 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a slump and guys, you know, adjust 363 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: to him. I think that defense is that good that 364 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: they get still squeak out ten wins and get above 365 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: five hundred there for sure. Ericson, do you have a 366 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: favorite win total here for the Denver Broncos. 367 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 4: I definitely don't like the Broncos as much as you two, 368 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 4: but I still think that the value is taking me 369 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 4: over at nine and a half, especially at plus money 370 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 4: odds at plus one ten. And I laid out the 371 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 4: win totals with Sean Payton when he has a top 372 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 4: ten defense, so that works in his favor and can 373 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: mitigate if there is a sophomore slump with bo Nicks. 374 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: And we just look at the two matchups they have, 375 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 4: Denver has a chance to really start hot this year. 376 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: They're playing Titans and Colts. Those are their first two 377 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 4: matchups of the season. So what we saw last year 378 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 4: with Denver, they killed bad teams, They destroyed the bad team. 379 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 4: So I think right now this is an offseason bet 380 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: to make because they're probably gonna start two and zero 381 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: and you're going to see this number not be a 382 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 4: plus money anymore. 383 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: So I'm with you guys on the over. 384 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: Just for clarity, I like the Broncos. I'm not in 385 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: love with the Broncos. There is a team that I 386 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: do love in this division. We'll get to them later. 387 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Kansasity Chiefs. Here, the win total 388 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: is at nine and a half. You're getting the over 389 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: minus three hundred. 390 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 391 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: The win total here under nine and a half plus 392 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: two fifty. That's probably unlikely unless everything just completely disintegrated. 393 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: Then you have the other end of the spectrum at 394 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: thirteen and a half, where again minus four to ten 395 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: for the under and then plus three thirty for the over. 396 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: Both of those are a hard sell for me. So 397 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: we're looking at eleven and a half wins here over 398 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: under the overs plus one hundred, the unders minus one twenty. 399 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Andrew Erickson, do you have any strong feelings here about 400 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs win total. 401 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: I'm going to go over the eleven and a half. 402 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 4: I think it's more than factoring in the close games 403 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 4: that they'll probably lose more of than they did last year. 404 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: But it's eleven and a half wins, it's not thirteen 405 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 4: and a half. I'm not going up that because I 406 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: don't think they're going to reach that type of win 407 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 4: total after Sun running in all these close games last year. 408 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: So it's going to be an over for me. 409 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: All right, Terrell, you the same where Andrew Erickson is 410 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: right now eleven and a half looking at the over. 411 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 3: Yes, for me, it's gonna be the better offensive line play. 412 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 3: I mean, in a down year for the Chiefs offensive line, 413 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: there was a bunch of teams that could have capitalized 414 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 3: on it throughout the season and they were unable to. 415 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 3: I don't think that they're going to be able to 416 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 3: capitalize on the offensive line that I think is going 417 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: to be slightly better here. So I like the Chiefs 418 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 3: to continue to do what they're doing. I think that 419 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 3: they're healthier at all the skill positions, and they're gonna look, 420 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: it's gonna look a lot easier for Patrick Mahomes where 421 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 3: he's going to be able to make the right play 422 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 3: on those third downs and extend drives and put more 423 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 3: points on the board. So I like a better year 424 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: for the Chiefs here over eleven and a half wins, all. 425 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: Right, three for three here, I'm almost a stay away, 426 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: but I think they can get to twelve. I think 427 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: that's the number I'm comfortable at. Let's talk about the 428 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: Las Vegas eight is here. Their win totals arrange from 429 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: five and a half, seven and a half, nine and 430 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: a half. That's what you're looking at. The seven and 431 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: a half is probably the easiest one to disseminate here. 432 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: Over seven and a half wins at plus one thirty 433 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: five under at minus one sixty Unlessterrell, you think this 434 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: is a really tough year because this division is so strong, 435 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: in which case you are getting five and a half 436 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: wins under at plus one eighty. That's a big number 437 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: if you think they just aren't ready to compete on 438 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: the main stage with these other three teams. 439 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think this is a really competitive division. 440 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 3: I like the over seven and a half wins here 441 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: at plus money. I don't think that they're going to 442 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 3: be a horrible team. I don't think they're going to 443 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 3: be a great team. I think they're going to be 444 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 3: right along there. Eight wins, middle of the pack. Eight 445 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 3: to nine feels like where they finish at. And it's 446 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 3: really because they are healthy this year. The offensive line 447 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 3: is healthy, the defensive line is healthy. If they just 448 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: figure out what they're doing at the corner spot, and 449 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 3: they lock down what's going on in the corners. I 450 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 3: think that this defense can actually be pretty solid and 451 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: be able to save them in a few games. Whereas 452 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 3: the offense, I mean, Pete Carroll and Gino Smith have 453 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: been doing this oh we're going to be just okay 454 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 3: thing for a little while now, and so now they're 455 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 3: back together, I think is going to look exactly how 456 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 3: it did. If that offensive line gets healthy and plays 457 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 3: any better, Jeans might be really really good at running 458 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 3: back as well. I think that's gonna win them a 459 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: few games. So are they bottoming out at six five wins? 460 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think they're much closer to 461 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 3: a eight win scene. 462 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: I think they're a seven win team, So I'm gonna 463 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: think the under at minus one sixty. But really I 464 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: don't like the juice, so it's probably just to stay 465 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: away from me. I think they are a solid seven 466 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: win team. I think they're going to be competitive. They 467 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: might even cover some games, maybe even pull off a 468 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: couple upsets. I just think the division is too tough, 469 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: and we have to play that many games in your division, 470 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: and then you also have to play the Eagles this year, 471 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: they have to play, you know, I don't know if 472 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: they can necessarily score with the Cowboys if the Cowboys 473 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: are actually you know, clicking on offense for one. Some 474 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: look at the rest of the schedule too. They got 475 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: to play the Washington Commanders two. Who knows. Maybe the 476 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: Giants are improved. That defense is certainly much better and 477 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: some of the offensive pieces they added in. I don't 478 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: like the schedule for them. I like a division they're in. 479 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: I think this is an underwhelming seven win team. What 480 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: do you think, Andrew, why don't you break the tie? 481 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm with you. 482 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 4: Under seven and a half wins. I think it's more 483 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 4: like a six win team. And it's just the division 484 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 4: is really tough, and if they were playing in the NFC, 485 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 4: you'd probably feel much better about that. But you have 486 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 4: to consider that all of the Gino Smith and Pete Carroll, 487 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: what kind of success they had was in the context 488 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 4: of the NFC, which is a weaker division or it 489 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 4: has been a weaker division or conference than the AFC 490 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: because of the lack of top tier quarterbacks. But now 491 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 4: they're entering a division with three really strong quarterback options. 492 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: With Gino Smith, there now added to the fold. 493 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 4: So I want to like the Raiders, but I think 494 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 4: the best approach, and I mentioned this earlier, I think 495 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 4: they're two more. Want to bet weekly against the spread, 496 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 4: to cover games, to be competitive, to keep it tight. Absolutely, 497 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 4: that's how I think you want to approach the Raiders, 498 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 4: not betting their season long win toll, because I think 499 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 4: you're going to be pulling your hair out, but you're 500 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 4: going to be happy you back. 501 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: Them with the points every single week. 502 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: Last one here the Chargers seven and a half, nine 503 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: and a half or eleven and a half. I'm gonna 504 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: be bold here. I'm gonna say over eleven and a 505 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: half wins a plus two ninety. That's my favorite spot 506 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: right now for this team. I think they're a twelve, 507 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: maybe even thirteen win team. I'll looking at the schedule here. 508 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: We have a run here where they play the Dolphins, 509 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: the Colts, they play a rookie quarterback in the Vikings. 510 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: Then they played the Tennessee Titans, Terrell's Pittsburgh Steelers, and 511 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: then the Jacksonville Jaguars before their bye week. And I 512 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: just think that's a real great opportunity where they can 513 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: rattle off a bunch of wins, and I just like 514 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: what they've done this offseason. I like how they've addressed 515 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: the backfield. This two good monster. I think it's gonna 516 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: be very good. I think Herbert's got a lot more 517 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: to work with. It's another year with Harball in the 518 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: continuity of that system. Andrew, where are you with the 519 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: Chargers win total for this season? 520 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 4: Well, so much money betting on the Chargers historically, but 521 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: not last year. Last year was profitable because I bet 522 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 4: this over the win total last year and it worked 523 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 4: out and was basically based on the fact that Harbaugh 524 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: wins where he goes. He's a seventy percent win rate 525 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 4: in the NFL, So that's putting him over clearly over 526 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 4: nine and a half wins in a seventeen game season. 527 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 4: And entering last year, the Chargers had four straight years 528 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 4: of failing to hit their win total. Last year they 529 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 4: hit the over, and I think we're gonna get a 530 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 4: streak of over over over. So I'm going right back 531 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 4: to it didn't If it ain't, don't fix it right, 532 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 4: So taking the over so. 533 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: Which number though, because the nine and a half at 534 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: plus one hundred is is an easier money. I'm saying 535 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: that I'm going to double down on it. I know 536 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: the nine and a half at plus one hundred, and 537 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: then take the eleven and a half at plus two 538 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: ninety two and just throw a unit there too. I 539 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: so heavy units on the nine and a half and 540 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: then just one on the bigger return, just to see 541 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: if it hits. Do you think you agree with that approach. 542 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 4: I think I'm probably just a little bearish on that, 543 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 4: just because of the how good the division is. Right, 544 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: so they're dogs to win the division with the Chiefs 545 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 4: and about equal odds with the Denver Broncos. I can't 546 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 4: completly say, oh, they're gonna have more wins than Denver, 547 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 4: So that kind of gets me a little bit nervous. 548 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 4: Where I get plus plus money at over nine and 549 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 4: a half wins, I feel really good about that happening, 550 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 4: and always wonky stuff can always happen at week eighteen. 551 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: Guys are resting players, et cetera, et cetera, And then 552 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 4: you're I don't want to have one of those bad 553 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 4: beats in week eighteen. 554 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: Fair enough, Terrell, where do you see the Chargers landing 555 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: this year in the win column. 556 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 3: I'm on the complete other side of you. Both I okay, 557 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: not big on the Chargers at all, and I can't 558 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 3: take the over on a win total on a team 559 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 3: who's defense that I'm questioning on what they're gonna look 560 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: like this season. I mean, yes, the coach is cool 561 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 3: and all, but you go and you don't have Joey 562 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 3: Bost anymore. So that's something that has to be talked about. 563 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 3: You look at the secondary, and you lost both of 564 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 3: your starting corners in the secondary, both of you actually 565 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 3: lost one of them inside the division, so Fulton moves 566 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 3: inside the division. You lose a Sance Samuel Junior, and 567 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 3: the two corners that you signed to replace them are 568 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 3: Dante Jackson and Benjamin Saint Juics, who were both the 569 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 3: corners that we targeted when we were talking about player props, 570 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 3: when we're talking about fantasy, when we're talking about anything 571 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 3: on the other side. 572 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: Of the ball. 573 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 3: Last season, those were the two corners for the Steelers 574 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 3: and the Commanders that we were targeting in games, and 575 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 3: now those are their two starters. So I just don't 576 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: think that this team is going to be good enough. 577 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: And I don't think that Justin Herbert is a good 578 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: enough quarterback where if you put him in a shootout 579 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: night in night out, that he's gonna constantly get win 580 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 3: after win after win. So I think that this team 581 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 3: is going to be a lot close Raiders than they 582 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: are the Chiefs. So I like the under here, all right, So. 583 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: We'll disagree there. I don't think Joey Bosa is too 584 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: much of a loss. I mean, twenty twenty two and 585 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three can play to combined fourteen games. Last 586 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: year he played fourteen games when we had five sacks. 587 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think Joey Bosa is at 588 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: least some Yeah, it's fine. He's just overrated and he's 589 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: always hurt, and you know, I want healthy place. 590 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: Is it you hurt right now? 591 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: He is, right, yeah, yeah, he has hurt already, so 592 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, but that's the Bills problem now, not ours. 593 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: Let's get to the division winners, and I think Terrell 594 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: might have showed his hand here. But let's take a 595 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: look at the board. First. The Chiefs are at the 596 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: top of it, minus one fifteen, the Chargers at plus 597 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: three ten. I think everybody knows that's where I'm going, 598 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: So give me the Chargers there, the Broncos at plus 599 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: three forty, and then the Raiders at plus twelve hundred Terrell, 600 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: the board is yours pick the winner of the AFC West. 601 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 3: Well, for value, I'll just take the Broncos. I think 602 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: that is a good chance that is the Chiefs, and 603 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: I have a better way to play it, and I'll 604 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 3: talk about that a little bit later, But I'm completely 605 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 3: sold on the charge. Like well, I'm sold on the 606 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: Chargers not being relevant for this division. I truly think 607 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 3: that they are a lot closer and they're going to 608 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: be battling for fourth place with the Raiders, who are 609 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: not going to be a bad team. And I'm not 610 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 3: saying that either one of these two teams are going 611 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: to be a bad team. I think the loser of 612 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 3: this division has eight seven wins here, and so ultimately, 613 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: I just don't think that they have the defense, clearly 614 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 3: not the defense to the level of the Broncos. I 615 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: think they could lose both of the games against the Broncos. 616 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 3: They haven't had any type of consistency at all with 617 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: the Chiefs, So I just don't think that they're one 618 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 3: of the top two teams in the division, and so 619 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: it's value play Broncos here. But I have a better 620 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 3: way to play it and I'll save it for the end, all. 621 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: Right, Andrew Erickson. So we got one for the value, 622 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: one for the Chargers. Where are you going? 623 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 4: She's taking the layup Chiefs one division nine years in 624 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 4: a row, win every year that Mahomes is a starter, 625 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 4: So minus one fifteen for it's been a lock since 626 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 4: the last nine years. So until them, until somebod else happens, 627 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 4: I'll keep being the Chiefs to win the division. 628 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 629 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: Look, as a Patriots fan, you should know this. Remember 630 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: when you know they started losing super Bowls and all 631 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: of a sudden that started plucking around there, you know, 632 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: those kind of annoying years. I'm just saying, I think 633 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: we're in that Chiefs window. 634 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 3: Right. 635 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 4: They would always win on these weird tie breakers and 636 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 4: be a three way tie, the AFC East and the 637 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 4: Jets and sneaking the Patriots missed the playoffs because they 638 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: want to let they went eleven and five one year 639 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 4: and they. 640 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: Missed the playoffs. 641 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I guess I Look, I've never been 642 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: the guy that been against the Chiefs after that Super 643 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: Bowl last year. The age of that team where. 644 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,239 Speaker 4: They did it, They've already done this though, they've been 645 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 4: down this road. They lost the Super Bowl already, and 646 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 4: they came back and won the division and. 647 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 2: Lost an embarrassing fashion. 648 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 3: They lost in embarrassing fashion and came back in one two. 649 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: They did. 650 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: But at the time that division was an absolute joke. 651 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: It is not a joke anymore. You have one of 652 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: the best defenses in that division. You've got a young 653 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: quarterback in Justin Herbert and a very good head coach 654 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 1: in Hardball on the other team. And then you've got 655 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: a guy in Pete Carroll who's been around the league 656 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: for you know, I don't know, seven hundred years, who 657 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. The Chiefs are like a lot 658 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: of great dynasties, which if you go back to the 659 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers dynasty, absolutely great team, obviously, some of 660 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: the most talent you'll ever see on a roster. They 661 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: also benefited from a weak division, so to the Patriots, 662 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, sort of the seventies Steelers. A lot of 663 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: these teams that are dynasties, they benefit from weak divisions, 664 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: and I just don't think the division as nearly as 665 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: weak as it used to be. And they were teams 666 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: last year that really took the Chiefs to their limit. 667 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: The Texans did so, the Broncos do it. I just 668 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a much different season for them, 669 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: and I still am not sure what that offense is 670 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: going to look like with the pieces it currently has. 671 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: But that's for everybody else in the comments to decide 672 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: and get their takes let them fly on YouTube. Let's 673 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: get to our last segment here, our favorite bets and 674 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: our wildcard crazy bets for the AFC West. I'm going 675 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: to start things off here. I'm gonna take this pretty 676 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: easy here. 677 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: I think the. 678 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: Chargers make the playoffs. I think the Broncos make the playoffs. 679 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: You're getting both of those easy money minus one twenty 680 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: four for the Chargers minus one fourteen for the Broncos. Again, 681 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: I just like easy money, so I'm going to take 682 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: the lay up there. Four thousand passing yards for Justin Herbert, Yes, please, 683 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: you're getting two to one on this. I know they're 684 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: gonna run the football. He's still going to have over 685 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: four thousand passing This is twenty twenty five NFL so 686 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: this is just about him staying healthy. Ap NFL Offensive 687 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year for twenty twenty five Ash and 688 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: Jendy can get it plus two seventy. I think that's 689 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: a good look there. I think that's worth the investment. Torell, 690 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: you teased us earlier with one of your favorite ways 691 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: to approach this division. So let's unleash the Beast here. 692 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just go ahead and do it top two. 693 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 3: Any order, doesn't matter what order. Give me the Chiefs 694 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: and the Broncos to be one two in the division. 695 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what order. It could be Broncos Chiefs, 696 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 3: it could be Chiefs Broncos. But I'm convinced that I 697 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 3: don't think that the Chargers are in it for this division. 698 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it's too many question marks on the defensive 699 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 3: side of the ball. And I am not big into 700 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert as everybody else is. You said, Justin Herbert 701 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: a young quarterback. He's five years in. This is year 702 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 3: six for him. Like, at this point, what point do 703 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: you become a veteran and when do we start giving 704 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: you some more expectations of getting the job done. I 705 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 3: understand you've been heard a couple of years, but that's 706 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: that's the nature of the Beast. You gotta figure out 707 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 3: how to get it done and I just don't have 708 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: the faith that if they're in a close game, if 709 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: they're in shootouts, and he's got to constantly be perfect, 710 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 3: constantly keeps the offense going every single time with the 711 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 3: defense that isn't gonna give you any breaks. And hopefully 712 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 3: we'll see if Harball can coach this defense up where 713 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: maybe this is a non starter and they take guys 714 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 3: like Saint just who I was absolutely flaming when he 715 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: was on the Washington Commanders and make him into a 716 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 3: really good starting corner for them. But for that, I 717 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: just don't think that they're gonna be in it. I 718 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 3: really don't. So that's where I'm just putting everything at. 719 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 3: I think this is a very very good bet where 720 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 3: I feel very confident that no matter how this division 721 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 3: pans out, it's gonna be one and two at the top. 722 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: Well, he's about the same age Justin Herbert as Tyler Shuck, 723 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, So just putting that out there, he's 724 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: twenty six years old, Justin Herbert going on twenty seven. 725 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: I am, I don't remember. 726 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 3: Comparisons to Tyler Shuck is a good thing. 727 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: Man, I'm saying. You're saying he's been in the league 728 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: so long. He's just twenty six. He came into the 729 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: league when he was twenty two. He did set a 730 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: rookie passing record for yards. He did throw for five 731 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: thousand yards the next season, forty seven hundred the year 732 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: after that, before they bought him out in twenty twenty 733 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: three with a terrible season and he was hurt and 734 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: the coach got fired. And last year was the first 735 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: year in new system. He had thirty eight seventy and 736 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: again the touchdown total was lame, but he didn't have 737 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: a lot of great weapons. He took Keenan Allen away 738 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: from him. Quentin Johnson stings. You know, he was relying 739 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: basically on a rookie Lad McConkie, who was great. I 740 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: love Laden McConkie, but Lad mccakie, Trey Harris, these running backs, 741 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the Chargers are going to 742 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: be a lot to handle. Let's get Andrew Erickson's take 743 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: here some of his fun bets. What do you have 744 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: here for the AFC West. 745 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 4: Andrew, Yeah, So I'm backing the Chargers as well. That's 746 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 4: why I wore my powder blue so Chargers over a 747 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 4: nine and a half wins plus money I'm going to 748 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 4: go with the lock that's been the lock for the 749 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 4: last nine years, Chiefs to win the division at minus 750 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 4: one fifteen, I will say with the Chief's bet. I 751 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 4: don't know if I want to bet this right now, 752 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 4: because if you look at I always try to look 753 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: at some of these early schedules. So Week one, they 754 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 4: play in Brazil against the Chargers, weird game. Could the 755 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 4: Chiefs lose that game? I think it's possible. We saw 756 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 4: last year when they played in Brazil a lot of 757 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 4: weird things happened. There were guys that were wide open, 758 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 4: guys were slipping. So I think that there's some mystery, 759 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 4: a mystique to that game that could result in something 760 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 4: kind of weird happening. So and then the second game 761 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 4: they play is against the Eagles, right, so they start 762 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 4: one in one. I think you can get a better 763 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 4: record or a better number on them to win the 764 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 4: division that at minus one fifteen, you might even get 765 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 4: that plus money if the Broncos, like I said, they 766 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: start out to to Oh, you're gonna see the odds shift. 767 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 4: So that's going to keep in mind when it comes 768 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 4: to the player props. I think that this one really 769 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 4: stuck out to me. And it's not a player that 770 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 4: I particularly like. I just think the number is it's 771 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 4: just so low. Naji Harris over five hundred and twenty 772 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 4: five rushing yards. He has four straight seasons of one 773 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 4: thousand yards. The projections for betting pros have him going 774 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 4: over this number. And this is not a high number 775 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 4: to pass some of the guys that hit this number 776 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 4: last year that I honestly could not believe. But I 777 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 4: actually had to look and see Antonio Gibson, Travis etn 778 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 4: Jerome Ford like that. That's what Najierras has to do 779 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 4: in a run first offense with the Gregs. It's really 780 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 4: not a high bar to pass, even with Omaron Hampton 781 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 4: also there. 782 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: So I just think the number is just too low. 783 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 4: And then my last one, my fun one is Patrick 784 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 4: Mahomes to leave the NFL in passing touchdowns. Last year, 785 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 4: only Joe Burrow had more red zone pass attempts than 786 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 4: he did. He was second in the NFL red zone 787 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 4: pass attempts, second and expected passing touchdowns last season. He 788 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 4: was third neck category. In twenty twenty three, when Tom 789 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 4: Brady turned thirty, he threw fifty touchdowns. Mahmes it's gonna 790 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 4: be thirty this year. Maybe we have another fifty touchdown 791 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 4: season coming. 792 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, And don't forget everybody.
