19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: with Chad Millman. We're talking to Ravens, Chiefs, lions, Niners.

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Want to address a couple things Falcons did not hire

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, who I thought, if he wanted personnel control,

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: was one of the weaker candidates. I'm not interested in that.

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: They hired Raey Morris. So Raheem was a coach and

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Tampa didn't work. Was a great assistant after Brandon Staley

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: left for the Rams, became mcveigh's best friend on the

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: staff and did very, very well with a really young defense.

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Morris is one of those guys like Demiko Ryans or

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Sean McVay. Very impressive in person, kind of you know,

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: just a guy, eye contact, really smart point of view.

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: So Raheem interviews very well. I've been told that numerous occasions.

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Probably I would have gone after maybe a Mike Rabel again,

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: defensive coach. They don't have a quarterback. But I think

33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: this is what Belichick is falling into, is that it's

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: really funny that Bill doesn't really have any vulnerability, Like

35
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Bill's gonna do what Bill wants to do. That's why

36
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: he's got his kids on the staff and he hires

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: coaches who are He had a very weak staff, multiple

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: fired guys in New England, so you know Bill wants

39
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: more control than Arthur Blank and Rich McKay are willing

40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: to give, and had Bill read the room, he would

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: have known that Arthur Blank has never hired a big

42
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: time head coach. He's always given it to up and

43
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: coming coaches who don't feel like they have to own

44
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the room. Blank's a brilliant businessman. Rich McKay is excellent

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: with operations and certainly knows talent. Terry Fontineau from the

46
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Saints is a smart guy that's well thought of around

47
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: the league. I mean he's not you know, we don't

48
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: look at him quite as a less Snead maybe yet,

49
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: or a Mickey Loomis in New Orleans yet, or a

50
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman or a Brett Veach. But he is well

51
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: thought of. But I think Belichick the thing that worries

52
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: you if you're Atlanta. He's a milestone guy. Is he

53
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: really care about Atlanta? Never? Never, never coached really, I

54
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: mean head coach in Cleveland, then in New England, he

55
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: didn't know much about the NFC South. He has drafted

56
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: fifteen quarterbacks, one star Brady, one starter Garoppolo, two to

57
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: three capable backups, and ten misses. So I think Bill

58
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: was going up against recent history in Atlanta, where they're

59
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: going to take a Dan Quinn. They're going to take

60
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: a Raheem Morris. They're going to take a young, up

61
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: and coming assistant that's not going to need to dominate personnel.

62
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, the Seahawks' last two

63
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: drafts have been much stronger when John Snyder was empowered

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: by ownership and controlled the drafts. Pete in a vacuum

65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: in Seattle when Paul Allen died, had a lot of power.

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: It frustrated John Snyder, who went and sought the Detroit

67
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Lions job, got a raised. They brought him back to Seattle,

68
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: and there were some assurances that he would have more

69
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: control in the draft. I have it on two different

70
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: sources who I trust implicitly is that Pete would sometimes

71
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: have a very strong opinion and it would sway the

72
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: Seahawks rafts. And for years in a year, I was

73
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: told this for years by people in the league. I

74
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: respected that Seahawks drafts were unpredictable. Now, Pete's were very

75
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: good when he came out out of college out of

76
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: USC at a two or three year run where they're excellent.

77
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: But like most pro coaches, he's not sitting around watching

78
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: college football all Saturday. He's looking at NFL stuff, in

79
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: at NFL personnel, in film. And I thought Seattle's drafts

80
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: got much better in the last couple of years when

81
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: John Snyder exerted more power. I think Belichick's last seven

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: drafts have mostly been absolutely abysmal. Why again, I have

83
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: it sourced for multiple people that as he started stacking

84
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: rings and net worth and power, he was more difficult

85
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: for Brady to deal with. And he told mid January

86
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: the draft department, the scouts, I got it from here.

87
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: It's hard to find any hits in the last seven drafts.

88
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: On the offensive side, they've had two Pro bowlers, one's

89
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: a punter. So I don't think coach. I remember when

90
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Mike Hoggan was in Seattle years ago, great coach, he

91
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: had a little bit too much power. When he first

92
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: started in Seattle, he struggled with a couple of early drafts.

93
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: You're asking drafting is hard enough for great gms. Howie

94
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: Roseman has had huge whiffs, and how he's brilliant and

95
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: completely dedicated. So the idea that Bill Belichick, any of

96
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: these coaches want over fifty percent power. John Gruden, by

97
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: the way, with the Raiders, had the final say with

98
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock. I know that because it's sourced. Go look

99
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: at the Raiders' first round picks. In later rounds, Ruden

100
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: would let Mayock have more control. But in that first round,

101
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: there's first second round. John thought he was the television

102
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: John Gruden and exerted too much power and control and

103
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: they had multiple major whiffs. Gruden, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick,

104
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Mike Holmgren. Those are just four examples. The best way

105
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: to do it is less Snead and the Rams and

106
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, where McVeigh has absolute say, but they really

107
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: work collaboratively. They really work together very very well. Sean,

108
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: if he does have the final say, is very respectful

109
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: about it. But they're really committed to the process from

110
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: beginning to end. And last year they had a sensational

111
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: draft outside of Stetson Bennett, who had struggled, I think

112
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: with some things personally and they're not sure if that's

113
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: going to work. He was a fourth round pick, but

114
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: they nailed their second round pick, two thirds, multiple fifths.

115
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: It was a great draft for them, even picked up

116
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: some guys late in the sixth and seventh round, so

117
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: you know Belichick has got to read the room. His

118
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: drafting record is atrocious and though Raheem Morris I probably

119
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: would have gone to the offensive side, they just had

120
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: an offensive coach and it didn't work. So there is

121
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: a history in this league. Demiko Ryans is the latest.

122
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: If you have a top defensive coach and a star

123
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in c. J. Stroud certainly emerged looks like a star,

124
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: top six to seven quarterback, you can hoist trophies. I

125
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: don't think defensive coaches are as good with marginal quarterback talent.

126
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're good when they have a disruption

127
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback, a backup like a Gardner Minshew or a

128
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Shane Stikeen and Kevin Stefanski hit it out

129
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: of the park. But if you have a Lamar Jackson

130
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: or a Josh Allen or a c J. Stroud or

131
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Brady in his prime or Big Ben in his prime,

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm okay with defensive coaches. So if they nail, if

133
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: they draft the third or the fourth quarterback and nail it,

134
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris will be a fine coach if they If

135
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: they draft somebody and it doesn't hit and their marginal

136
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: he'll probably struggle it is a weak division. But Belichick

137
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: didn't get it. He didn't get the Chargers. Reportedly, Ben

138
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Johnson is a slam duncan Washington. To me, those were

139
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: the three best jobs Carolina. Nope, that's taken too by

140
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: a young coach. So and when you get older, Belichick,

141
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: a year off is not an advantage, that's not necessarily

142
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: an advantage. Sean Payton was seeing closer to his prime

143
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel seen as closer to his prime. Belichick is,

144
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: and his draft record shows it. Allergic to offense, tone deaf, offensively,

145
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: not building great staffs. He is not only past his prime,

146
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: he's well past it. Just say that, all right. Chad Milman,

00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: three and one. I had the bills. Shame on me,

150
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: everything else, everything else, I was on the right side.

151
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, no, no, no, no, no, you don't

152
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: get credit for had I bet. You either did or

153
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: you didn't. Well, there is no try. There is do

154
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: or do not. You didn't do anything last week. You

155
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: watched some football, and maybe you were right about what

156
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: you were thinking.

157
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so this week I love the picks. I think

158
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the lines are wrong this week. First of all, we

159
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: are overvaluing the Chiefs because they played a completely decimated

160
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: Miami defense in minus twenty seven degrees with a quarterback

161
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: that can't throw the ball deep. And then they play

162
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: an absolutely ravaged Bills defense missing six starters, so we're

163
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: overvaluing who they are. Baltimore is a team that wrecked

164
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco, dominated Miami, destroy Detroit. You know my favorite

165
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: number in this business, minus four. I think the Ravens

166
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: roll Mahomes is hard to blow out, but I don't

167
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: think they'll have success running it with Pacheco. Here comes

168
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey back to guard Rashi Rice. I think the

169
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Ravens are one of the best playoff bets, believe it

170
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: or not. At minus four, Sharper square.

171
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: So sharp that if you end up not betting it

172
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: and then just thinking about betting it, doing yourself a disservice.

173
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 2: It was sharp when it was minus three last Sunday.

174
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: It was sharp when it was three and a half.

175
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: It's still sharp at four. The wise guys love the

176
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: Ravens in this game. It is a scary, scary bet,

177
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: not because of what the Chiefs have done the past

178
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: two weeks, and you're using the right terminology, they're overvalued

179
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: based on their season long results. But it's still Patrick

180
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: Mahomes man, and it's still Patrick Mahomes who's nine one

181
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: and one in his career as an underdog, who's two

182
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: and zero straight up in his career as an underdog,

183
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: who's eight and three straight up in his career as

184
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: an underdog. The reason why this bet is scary is

185
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: because the idea of betting against Patrick Mahomes late in

186
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: the game and he is stepping up in the pocket

187
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: against a really good pass rush and you don't know

188
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: where the ball is going yet because you can't see

189
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 2: it on TV, and who's on the other end of it.

190
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: You have no idea, but you're pretty sure it's going

191
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: to be completed, and you're pretty sure it's going to

192
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 2: be a long pass because someone was in single coverage

193
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: and some receiver is wide open. That's the fear. So

194
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: you're right. Sharp's are on it. Sharp's love it defense

195
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: is dominating for Baltimore, and they're rush offense will destroy

196
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: the Chiefs rush defense, and the Chiefs, by the way,

197
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: missing Joe Toney, their offensive guard, who is one of

198
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: the highest rated pass blocking guards according to Pro Football Focus.

199
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: In every way, the Ravens should destroy the Chiefs, except

200
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have a cheek code and Patrick Mahomes. So

201
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: I will tell you what I've done, which is only

202
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: slightly less untoured and cowardly than claiming credit for Beth

203
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: you didn't make. I bet the Ravens minus two and

204
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: a half first half, all right, because I'm scared, because

205
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm afraid of Patrick Mahomes. But every otherwise guy is

206
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: piling in on the Ravens, and there I agree with

207
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: you one hundred percent.

208
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: All right. I like the Lions plus seven and a half.

209
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: So if you take I do this with big games.

210
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: I take the top ten players and then the top fifteen.

211
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: The Lions are stacked. I have eight seven Lions, eight

212
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: players to seven for the Niners. Now top five McCaffrey, Bosa,

213
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. But when you start extrapolating from the fourth

214
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: best player, and it's Pine sul and it's Hutcheson, and

215
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: it's Homoran Saint Brown, and it's Jared Goff's the better quarterback.

216
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: The weather's not a factor. We know This is a

217
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: team that doesn't play well and windy or cold. Weather

218
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: going to be sixty seven degrees, it's going to be dry,

219
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: There's going to be no wind. Jared Goff played plenty

220
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: of outdoor games in the Bay Area. He's fine. This

221
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: offensive line's better. The Niners offensive line center right is

222
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: actually one of the weak spots on the team. Neither

223
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: team has a great secondary. What concerns me about San

224
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: Francisco The names are bigger than the production up front. Defensively,

225
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: their rush has been hit and miss over the last

226
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: six seven weeks. Bosa absolutely, Chase Young, meh, you're not

227
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: getting the names right now. It's like a hotel chain

228
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: you went to when you were a kid. You go

229
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: about ten years later and you're like, it's kind of

230
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: an average hotel. Well, the name is bigger than the property,

231
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: right You've seen that with golf courses, hotels. I think

232
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: right now I can't unsee the Ravens crushing them or

233
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: the Packers out playing them. I think Detroit matches up,

234
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: may not win. I think seven and a half. I

235
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: think the numbers should be closer to six five and

236
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: a half. I'm taking the lion Sharper square.

237
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: So the wise guys have been on the Niners. It's

238
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why this number is moving. In fact,

239
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: it's a really interesting stat Then, the Lions are a

240
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: huge liability for the sportsbooks this weekend, not because there's

241
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: so many people on the Lions. At plus seven and

242
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: a half, there's forty four percent of the money according

243
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: to our tracking on the Lions money line. Like people

244
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: are just piling on the Lions to win this game

245
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: out right, more than they like the Lions to actually

246
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: cover the spread. But the wise guys have been on

247
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: the Niners, and there's a couple factors in play. You

248
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: cannot discount how bad this Lion's secondary is, right, look

249
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: at what they've given up to players like Nick Mullins

250
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: multiple four hundred or near four hundred yard games, Baker

251
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: Mayfield more than three to fifty, Matthew Stafford more than

252
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: three point fifty. Brock Purty. There should be no bashing

253
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: of brock Purty. All the guy has done in a

254
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: season and a half is starting is lead his team

255
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: to two different NFC title games, lead the league in

256
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: passing yards, and be as effective and efficient as any quarterback.

257
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: Kyle Shannon's Shanahan has had and he's the reason why

258
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: he is closer to winning a Super Bowl than he

259
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: has ever been. This is a much better team than

260
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: the Lions across the board, and there's a real big

261
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: factor I think for the Lions their offensive line. Jonah

262
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: Jackson isn't going to be playing in this game. When

263
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: Jonah Jackson played this past week against a heavy blitz

264
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: from the Buccaneers, zero pressures in any of his snaps,

265
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: he goes out at the end of the game seven

266
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: pressures in eighteen snaps given up by his replacement, Jared

267
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: Goff getting pressure up the middle when he cannot step

268
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: up is not the same quarterback no matter what the

269
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: conditions are. So wise guys are back in the Niners.

270
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: Here also the X factor, it's Deebo Samuel. Look when

271
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: the Niners have Deebo Samuel twelve and one this year,

272
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: winning games by an average of eighteen points per game.

273
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: There's one game when they did not win by double digits.

274
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: That was Week two on the road at the Rams

275
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: A Division game they only won by seven. Deebo is

276
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: a complete game changer, and I am checking Debo's availability

277
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: because I already bet the Niners minus six and a half.

278
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: I am checking his availability NonStop, and he's still fifty

279
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: to fifty progress. But in pain. He's a major major

280
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: factor for this game. So even without debo, the wise

281
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: guys have betting the Niners with debo, I think you'll

282
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: see this number skyrocket.

283
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: By the way, he does get a break played on Saturday. Now,

284
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: this game's on Sunday, so you get another twenty four hours,

285
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: and we know with surgery or injuries, twenty four hours

286
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: is a long time. I want to ask you about

287
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. So it was funny. I was in Los Angeles.

288
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: You know they call it the city of Angels. I've

289
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: heard that, yes, and Harbaugh's no angel But it was

290
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: non stop, wall to wall coverage of Harbaugh in Los Angeles,

291
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: the second biggest city in the country. And I said

292
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: to somebody that I know that's close to the Chargers,

293
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: I said, you guys probably made about six million dollars

294
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: yesterday in coverage. It was wall It led every newscast.

295
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the story in LA. And then

296
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: the Chargers have fifty one thousand season tickets. If they

297
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: can get to about fifty seven five, which they could

298
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: probably sell the stadium out now with Herbert and Harbaugh,

299
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: but they don't want to because as a war mother city,

300
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: they want the Denvers and Kansas cities to come in

301
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: and to be able to elevate the prices based on

302
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: how hot and how big the game is. So if

303
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: they get to like fifty seven fifty eight thousand season tickets,

304
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: that extra six thousand plus all the publicity you get,

305
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: you kind of pay for Harbaught twenty million bucks a year.

306
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: So Harbaught not that he's a bargain, but this feels

307
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: like seven of the twelve losses for the Chargers were

308
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: three or less significantly more than the league. So this

309
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 1: is not a rebuild like Houston. This is like a

310
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: five win team that could win eleven And it feels

311
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: totally reasonable. Where would you put the over under if

312
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: you had to? If you I thought to myself, am

313
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: I nuts? It's ten? Am I nuts?

314
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: So it's funny you say that, Hey, I love the

315
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: way you're thinking about the economics of this deal. It's

316
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: not that dissimilar. Remember when ESPN went out and signed

317
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: Tory Aigman and Joe Buck for eight figure yearly contracts.

318
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, what are they doing. Meanwhile, it puts him

319
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: in better with the NFL. They get better games, the

320
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: AD rates go up, they sell commercial time, the ratings

321
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: go up. Those deals were paid for in one game. Right.

322
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: You just made the same point with Harbaugh. It doesn't

323
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: matter what they pay him. They were going to pay

324
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: for it in some way, shape or form by the

325
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: publicity they were getting in the attention they were getting.

326
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, it's going to be such

327
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: a better product on the field. He is a game

328
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: changing coach. He has been that way everywhere he has gone.

329
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 2: What he does is drive the people that he works

330
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: for crazy, and that's when he ends up burning out

331
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: his welcome. But he will have this team ready to

332
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: be very competitive and be a contender in the AFC

333
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: very very quickly. When you were asking win total, my

334
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: first instinct was nine, and you're saying ten. I could

335
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: see it at ten because bookmakers might feel like they

336
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 2: can take advantage of the public and set it a

337
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: little bit higher because they can say, all right, Jim

338
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: Harbaugh is getting so much attention, we know they're going

339
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: to want to bet the over no matter what it is.

340
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: So let's set it at ten, and let's see what

341
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: we can sort of get in terms of some soccer money.

342
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: But I would not bet against Jim Harbaugh. I love

343
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: the guy, love the guy as a coach. I think

344
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: he's amazing.

345
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: So the public could do very well if Detroit wins.

346
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: But the public had a very good year betting. I

347
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: want to circle back to one of my theories on

348
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: this because I had a very good year betting, and

349
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: it took me about four weeks to figure it out.

350
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: But I was overthinking the room. And I've done this

351
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: in the AFC playoffs where I'm five and zero, basically

352
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: picking the best quarterback. I took Stroud over Flacco. The

353
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: Sharps like Flacco, and I'm taking golf to cover against Purdy.

354
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I took Love over Purdy and he outplayed them.

355
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: Is that is do you believe now on a macro

356
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: level that some I mean, you'll tweak everything you do

357
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: because you're a professional gambler. But there is a dynamic

358
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: now that has to be considered. The young quarterback that

359
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: come in, if they've got two years starting and all

360
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: those camps and the new culture. It's a cottage industry quarterback.

361
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: They're better, faster, the coaching's better, and increasingly there's more

362
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: offensive coaches, and that the best quarterback. It's hard, harder

363
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: than it's ever been to bet against them because I

364
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: find myself a default. In fact, a prime example, I

365
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: took Kyler Murray several times. I didn't think Arizona was better,

366
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: but like against Philadelphia, I'm like, Jalen's struggling. He may

367
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: be better than Kyler, but Kyler's healthy, rested. I'm taking Kyler.

368
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: Will you tweak over the course of a season seeing

369
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: these trends which appear to be substantial, it may only

370
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: be a half point to a point. But one of

371
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: the teams I didn't bet this year that a lot

372
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: of people did was the Colts because I just couldn't

373
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: buy any Gardner Minshew as much as I like Shane Steiken.

374
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: Your takeawa sort of my rambling here about this changing.

375
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: It feels like the league is slightly changing for betting.

376
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: So there's there's three different things that I want to

377
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: pick out of that. Number one great year for the

378
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: public favorites were winning at an unprecedented clip. And if

379
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: you're like me and you like to play underdogs, and

380
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: you find value in the underdogs, and When you model

381
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: these things, you're playing on the idea that bookmakers are

382
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: going to overvalue favorites because that's where they can expect

383
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: the public to come in. So they're going to give

384
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: you an advantage. This year it didn't matter as much, right,

385
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 2: So that's number one. Do I think that's a trend?

386
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 2: Do I think that there's going to be regression for that?

387
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: My guess is there will be a regression. There are

388
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: some things that are irrefutable when it comes to betting.

389
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: Regression is irrefutable, right number one. Number two the quarterbacks betting,

390
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: And we've talked about this a lot this week on

391
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: my podcast because the Chiefs and the Ravens are a

392
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: perfect example of trying to figure out when you are betting,

393
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: how to ride the wave and then get off the

394
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 2: wave before it crests. Historically, you look at Lamar Jackson

395
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: terrible as a favorite of more than three and a

396
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: half or more, Patrick Mahomes amazing as an underdog of

397
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: three or any number. Right, So last week we were

398
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: betting on the Texans because we felt like Lamar Jackson

399
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: hasn't proven it yet. We were betting on the Chiefs

400
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: because we felt like we were betting against the Chiefs

401
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: because we felt like at two and a half the

402
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: Bills were the right side and Patrick Mahomes' time has

403
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 2: passed because this team isn't as good. Missed on both

404
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: counts because the wave went one way and we were

405
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: expecting it could to go a different way with the Ravens,

406
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: and the wave went one way and we were expecting

407
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: it to stay the same with the Chiefs. And so

408
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: this week trying to thread that needle. Are we betting

409
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: on Lamar Jackson? Do we think he's over the hump

410
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: on the stressful situations and choking in the playoffs? Are

411
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: we betting on Patrick Mahomes because what we've seen out

412
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 2: of him, no matter what his team has been, has

413
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: been so good so often. That is the biggest challenge,

414
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: and adjusting that it's really really hard, and this is

415
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: a game where you sort of measure it.

416
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: The reason I'm taking Lamar over Mahomes, I consider Mahomes better,

417
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: but as I told you circumstantially with Kyler Murray, I

418
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: believe Lamar is at home with better protection and significantly

419
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: better weapons. So it's not just who's better circumstances, whether

420
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: where's the game, what are your weapons. I think with

421
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphreys coming back taking on Rashi Rice, you're not

422
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: going to run much on Baltimore. I think Mahomes is

423
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: going to be very frustrated in this game at times.

424
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: And I think Lamar, I think Jay Flowers Mark Andrews back,

425
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: he'sa Flowers has been. I mean just a seminal change

426
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 1: in his career. I mean Lamar has He's got his

427
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, Stafford is Cooper Cup, He's got his safety valve.

428
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: He never had one. It was a tight end. So

429
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: in that instance, I like Lamar because I think he'll

430
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: be the better quarterback in this game. I think Goff

431
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: will have better protection, better protection, and I'm betting that

432
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: Debo doesn't play much, so that Golf will be the

433
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: better quarterback in this game. May not win, but I

434
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: don't think you're getting forty eight snaps from Debo. I

435
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: think you're getting eighteen. And therefore, I like the weaponry

436
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: of amor on Saint Brown, Laporta, Gibbs, Montgomery, and he'll

437
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: have better protection. So in this instance, I believe I

438
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: am taking well, GoF is better than Perty is a

439
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: natural thrower. I'm taking the better quarterback circumstantially and what

440
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: he's surrounded by. So that's why I'm taking my pick.

441
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: So again this is the classic. I know that Malms

442
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: is better than Lamar. I don't think he's got great

443
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: protection this year. Now he's not getting sacked much because

444
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: he's very nimble. This Baltimore front is this is the

445
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: best linebacking crew in football. It's this front seven is

446
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: really athletic and really twitchy for big athletes, and I

447
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: think he's going to be under some dress.

448
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: So to your point about the quarterbacks, it's a little

449
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, yes, because the better

450
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: quarterback is almost always on the better team, and so

451
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: if you want to bet on the better quarterback, they're

452
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 2: almost always going to be on the favorite. And this

453
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 2: year the favors were winning at a larger clip than

454
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: they ever have before. So the real test to your theory,

455
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: and this is what's interesting about betting, is you don't

456
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: bet for the week. You bet for your life, right,

457
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: and how did you do this year? How did you

458
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: do the next year? How do you do the year

459
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: after that? Does that trend continue to hold? It's why

460
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: trends can be an interesting compliment to anything you're doing.

461
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: When you're talking about betting, we're talking about what's happening

462
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: on the field. That's really important. A trend is a

463
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: good compliment to anything you're thinking about in the field.

464
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: It's not the re and you make the bet. So

465
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: well the Kylin Cowhard good quarterback theory hold up next year.

466
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: That's when we start to know if that's really something

467
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: that is sustainable. As for the game, I think what

468
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: you're saying about the Chiefs offensive line is critical. I

469
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: think the middle of the field for the Chiefs in

470
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 2: this game against the Ravens defense is critical. The Chiefs

471
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: are not an explosive offense at all. If Marlin Humphrey

472
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: is back like you say, and he is locking up

473
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: or she rice, which is what the expectation is. The

474
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: Ravens are not the Bills who are starting aj Klein.

475
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: They are not the Dolphins who are decimated at every

476
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: level of their defense. They are Patrick Queen. They are

477
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 2: Rokwan Smith defending the middle of the field, who can

478
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: do wonders when they're patrolling that middle of the field.

479
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: And as we said before, Joe Toney offensive guard for

480
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and not going to be playing that also

481
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 2: will make it difficult for Patrick Mahomes to step up

482
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: into the pocket. There's nothing scarier for a quarterback than

483
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: not being able to step up right to roll out.

484
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: They like to be able to step up against pressure

485
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: that is coming in from the edges. I think that's

486
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: going to be a real handicap for Patrick Mahomes in

487
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: this game. So I completely agree with your theory on

488
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: why you like the Ravens and why Lamar could be

489
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: the better quarterback in this game. That's why the Sharps

490
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: believe it too.

491
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Well. Hey, before, I don't watch any streaming during the

492
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: football season, and then once the football season ends, I'll

493
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: commit to a few Netflix shows. I've peeled back. I

494
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: have Amazon for football and Netflix for my wife. I've

495
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: peeled way back on this stuff. I think these streaming

496
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: services are I like sports, I like news, I like politics.

497
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: It's all on TV. But give me one series, one

498
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: streaming series now. As I segue, probably in about a week,

499
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: as I move toward an occasional streaming show, do you

500
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: and your wife have one? I should be aware of.

501
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Colin, we have so many. And I

502
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: love how you're being with the streamers. I know you're

503
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: saving up. I know you got a lot of big plans.

504
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: Hey, you just got I got a bile Southwest Airlines

505
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: and Spirit Airlines tickets.

506
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: I understand. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you three okay.

507
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: Number One, If you're not watching The Bear, which is

508
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: on Hulu slash FX, okay, then you are missing out

509
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: on one of the best shows of the past twenty years.

510
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: This is a show. Now, granted, I'm a Chicago guy

511
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: and this is a Chicago show to culinary culinary show.

512
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: It just swept the Emmys right. Every single morning I

513
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: am watching a clip from The Bear on YouTube. I

514
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: go onto YouTube. I want to see, hey, how do

515
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: we do overnight in our clips and everything else? And

516
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: before I get there, The Bear is all over my

517
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: home feed. It is so brilliant, Colin. It is the

518
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: only show that has ever come out where I waited

519
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: long after the premiere of the second season because I

520
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: knew the second I started the show, every second I

521
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: watching it was a second closer to being over. It

522
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: is a unbelievably enriching experience. Number two, Listen, you have fine,

523
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: fine tastes. I'm gonna give you a show that was

524
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: really interesting. It's called Drops of God Apple TV. I

525
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: don't know if you want to pony up for Apple

526
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: TV plus Drops a god fascinating show about a guy

527
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: who had the most expensive fiction, the most expensive wine

528
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: collection in the world, A real terrible person as a

529
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: human being, and a father leaves the wine collection to

530
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: his daughter and one of his proteges, but they have

531
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: to answer like all these questions almost go through like

532
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: a contest to see who's going to get it. And

533
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: it is dramatic. It makes you want to drink a

534
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: bottle of wine every time you're sitting down to watch it.

535
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: I freaking loved it. Finally, I'll tell you Season five

00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: so I would pick it. I would pick it back

543
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: up for sure.

544
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,680

545
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: much bigger in person than you'd.

546
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: Think tall guy. Another Chicago guy.

547
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: He's a Chicago guy.

548
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: He is very tall guy. Loves sports games, a lot

549
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: of games. Is he stacking weights? Do you judge it?

550
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't judge. I myself am more of

551
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 1: a repetition guy than a stack weights guy. I just

552
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: want to be, you know, sort of tight, as I say,

553
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: I've had a beautiful wife, and I have to be

554
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: at my you know, it's got to be at my best.

555
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: I gotta look tight. I'm not worried about being the

556
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: biggest guy. I'm not going to be.

557
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: Your wife is beautiful. Your wife is beautiful. As we've discussed,

558
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: my wifs kind of look alike. My wife also has

559
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: red hair. They're both in the architecture and design space.

560
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: Last night, I feel like you can appreciate this. Last

561
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: night I was in the kitchen and my wife asked

562
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: me a question and I answered with a joke, kind

563
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: of one of two or three jokes I've said, probably

564
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: for the twenty something years we've been together. She looks

565
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: at me with all seriousness. She goes, look, if things

566
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: go well, you and I are going to be together

567
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: for another thirty something years. Micah, Huh. She goes, you

568
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: need to get some new material. So now I'm working

569
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: on it. I got to think of some new jokes

570
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: for the next thirty years of my life. If things

571
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: go by the way, if things go.

572
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: Well, well, she's worth keeping. My wife has an amazing

573
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: quality and I have no idea how she does it.

574
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: So if somebody tells me a funny joke, I will

575
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: walk up to a stranger within five minutes and tell

576
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: them because I can't keep it to myself. I want

577
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: to get a laugh. I want to perform and get

578
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: a laugh. Of course can't. My wife cannot only keep

579
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: a joke for twenty years. I've been with her seventeen years.

580
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 1: And she will deliver the line or the joke at

581
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: the perfect time, and I'll go, how long have you

582
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: had that? She goes, oh god, I heard that in college.

583
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you stored that for sixteen years. And it's

584
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: not just jokes. She'll have a line. And she dropped

585
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: one the other day, one of the lines she dropped

586
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: years and years ago. We had just gotten married. And

587
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm feisty, little rascible, feisty, and I was

588
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: just in one of my moods and I said you

589
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: know this, nobody, nobody that's balanced is happy. I said,

590
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: is Peyton Manning balanced? Was Michael Jordan? Balanced? Passion is

591
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: what makes people happy, finding something, falling in love with it,

592
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: kicking ass. Those are happy people. Not the web designer,

593
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: ski instructor, poet, barista. That guy's not happy. He's searching

594
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: his whole life. Well, he's balanced. And she goes, honey,

595
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: she touched me on the shoulder. You're balanced. You have

596
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: a chip on both shoulders.

597
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: Oh man, that is good.

598
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, you saved that for twelve years.

599
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: So the other day we were talking about the volume

600
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: and the growth of it, and you know, she I'm

601
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: always interested in her opinion on it. And you know,

602
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: I said, I you know, I'm I'm I'm proud of this, this, this,

603
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: And she goes, honey, it's okay to look at success.

604
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: Don't stare at it. And I wow, wow. And I

605
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: was like she was basically saying, stop patting yourself on

606
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: the back.

607
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, do the next thing, one step every day forever.

608
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: Fled.

609
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: I was just like that, that's amazing.

610
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: It's a great quality.

611
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: It is. I feel like and maybe this is a
