Speaker 1: Sharp or Square in ten minutes. But first, fake questions,

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: real answers. Stuff I want to talk about, but don't

16
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: want to wait for you to ask me the question,

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: Dear Colin. NFL ratings keep going up, NBA ratings keep plumbing.

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: What does this tell you? Well, forty five million people

19
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: watch the Niners and the Cowboys. Michael mulvihill works great

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Twitter follow works at Fox. He tracks this sort of stuff.

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Viewership for the Wildcard round increased by five point three

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: million viewers over last year. That means the increase alone

23
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: is more than what ABC, CBS, NBC averaged in all

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: their prime time this year in twenty twenty one. You know,

25
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: part of it is the NFL is no longer talking

26
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: about politics. I read radio, TV critics all the time.

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: They do not have the same access I do to

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: data about what my viewers want. At both ESPN and Fox,

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: we had data that said it turned off a lot

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: of viewers when you combined sports and politics. NFL last

31
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: year they've gotten out of the political business. Ratings are up.

32
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Look at the Grammys and Oscars. Everybody just applauds the

33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: courage of the actors for talking about politics. And only

34
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: ten million people watched the last Oscars. Only nine million

35
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: last year watched the Grammys. The NBA Finals averaged only

36
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: nine million viewers a game. Folks, The research is in.

37
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: I've worked at networks. People don't want their person who

38
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: pretends to be a lawyer talking politics at the Oscars

39
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: just to act. We have political pundits, we have politicians.

40
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: There's enough of it on Twitter, social media. Don't listen

41
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: to your media critics when they talk about the courage

42
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: of sportscasters, the courage of actors. The audience doesn't want

43
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: you mixing politics incessantly with their movies and with their sports.

44
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Nobody wants my politics, and nobody wants Rachel Maddow's football

45
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: picks just the way it is. Dear Colin, to see

46
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: there's more Twitter uproar about a Jeopardy champion crushing the

47
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: competition and making the game quote unwatchable. Yeah, actually it's

48
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: very watchable. Jeopardy is currently the highest rated non sports

49
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: program on television because Amy Schneider is crushing people. I

50
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: don't know who has convinced people that we love the underdog. No,

51
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: we don't. We like the favorites, We don't love the underdog.

52
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: The PGA had its greatest viewship when Tiger Woods was

53
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: kicking everybody's butt. The Warriors NBA Dynasty the last time

54
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: the league was highly rated. Mike Tyson Fights his pay

55
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: per views in his prime were record setting, and Jeopardy

56
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: whenever they have a Ken Jennings, whenever they have an

57
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: Amy Schneider, the ratings go up. America is not a

58
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: country that hates billionaires were fascinated by them. It's why

59
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: we watched documentaries about Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs. Jeopardy,

60
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: like other sports, is totally fair. The winners should be

61
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: the best person. You cannot legislate parody. People are not

62
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: interested in it, and we are fascinated by geniuses and

63
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: those who often pull away from us. Dear Colin, we

64
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: know your America's number one USC insider. What's the latest

65
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: on Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams. Well, maybe I'm not number one,

66
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: but certainly a very close number two. I have been

67
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: told by someone that is in a close relationship with

68
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Kayla Williams and his father that USC leads and is

69
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: likely to land him, and it's quite possible USC will

70
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: get news within the next seventy two hours. Now. USC

71
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: just landed a transfer running back from Stanford. Here's a

72
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: little insight. They're going to land another transfer running back

73
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: in the next few days. Has that for scoops? Dear Colin,

74
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: what does Russell Westbrook of the Lakers getting benched tell

75
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: you about the NBA? Well, the NBA has always been

76
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: a players league, and it's always been star driven, and

77
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: it's one of the strengths of the NBA and can

78
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: be one of its weaknesses. When the star is likable

79
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: and dominating, like Lebron and his prime or Michael Jordan

80
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: or Shack and Kobe, the ratings are strong. After Jordan left,

81
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: the league didn't really have an embraceable next star, and

82
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: the ratings dropped fifty. Do you remember that? I think

83
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: the problem with a star driven league and the NFL

84
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: is not though it has stars. The problem with the

85
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: star driven league is you often become star obsessed and

86
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: talent obsessed, and things like chemistry and coaching become less significant.

87
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed how many bad contracts there are

88
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: in the NBA? How many teams chase either over the

89
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 1: hill wash talent or talent that really is indifferent about

90
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: the sport. The Ben Simmons contract awful, John Wall contract awful,

91
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Westbrook contract offul, Kevin Love contract awful. Name one terrible

92
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: NFL contract one I can't. I mean, Kirk Cousins makes

93
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: more than many of you would want to pay him,

94
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: But what were the Vikings going to do at quarterback?

95
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: He makes in the twenty millions. There's now quarterbacks like

96
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Dak making in the forty millions. At this point, Kirk Cousins,

97
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: if not a value player, is certainly worth his money.

98
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: The NFL has a much easier time moving off stars.

99
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: I'll give an example, Cam Newton. Cam Newton's a declining star.

100
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: He gets one offer from New England, It's not a

101
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: very good one. After a year, they bail on him.

102
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: He gets a cup of coffee with Carolina, and it's

103
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: mostly over. Tim Tebow won seven straight games in a

104
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: playoff game, Denver replaced him with Peyton. He got one

105
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: more shot with the Jets. They couldn't figure out a

106
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: way to play him. It was mostly over. In the NBA,

107
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel of the Lakers, the coach had to get

108
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: permission to bench Russell Westbrook permission. It just doesn't work

109
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: that way in the NFL. Dear Colin, what did you

110
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: make a Mike McCarthy's press conference where he said, and

111
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I quote, I know how to win. Well. The thing

112
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: about resumes in the NFL is you have to be

113
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: very careful. He does have a Super Bowl win and

114
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: seven division titles, and he's won more games percentage wise

115
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: sixty one percent than Bill Parcels. But sometimes I think

116
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: we forget how bad McCarthy was at the end in

117
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Do you remember twenty eighteen McCarthy's final year

118
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: with the Packers, Aaron Rodgers led the NFL in a

119
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: fascinating stat, throwaways. It's a stat that tracks when an

120
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: offensive player, a quarterback, just throws the ball away because

121
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: he has no good options. Aaron's one of the most

122
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: nimble quarterbacks athletically, he's got one of the best arms.

123
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: He rarely gets into a desperate place. Yet in twenty eighteen,

124
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Aaron had forty seven throwaways. That is still the most

125
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: throwaways in a season since they started keeping track of

126
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: the stat. It was an indication of how little respect

127
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had for Mike McCarthy. He was literally saying,

128
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy just gave me a play that is so poor,

129
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to attempt a pass. Think about that.

130
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: That stat we forget because Aaron's been so good and

131
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: so effortless for the last three years with Matt Lafleur,

132
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: we forget how ugly it got in his last year

133
00:09:53,960 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: with the coach. All right, Chad Melman Sharper Square. He

134
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: is the chief content officer of the Action Network. All

135
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: these current odds are Fandoel odds. By the way. Okay,

136
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: so last week, I like Cincinnati is a favorite, and

137
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: the Rams is a favorite, and then I like dogs

138
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: and I got my Ars kick, so I was two

139
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: and two. Overall, I was four no on outcomes. So

140
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: this week I like all the favorites. That almost never

141
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: happens with me, So I'm very uncomfortable with that. And

142
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: but I do get to a point, there's only one

143
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: of them that makes me really uncomfortable, and let's start

144
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: with that. So at three and a half, it's telling

145
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: me to bet the Bengals, and they clearly have the

146
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: better quarterback, but I think we have a mismatch problem.

147
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee's defensive front is going to man handle

148
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals offensive line, which is the worst remaining in

149
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So the number is telling me to take

150
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: the better quarterback the Bengals. It's not a devastating home

151
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: field advantage for the Titans. That's what the number is

152
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: telling me. But I like the Titans to win and

153
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I think they'll ugly it up. But I would just

154
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: take the Bengals in this moment because I think I

155
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: think they have now they have met a personnel mismatch,

156
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to decide the game. So

157
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the Bengals plus three and a half,

158
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna lose. I would always rather

159
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: take the team I want. Generally, I picked the winner

160
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: of the game. I don't like taking a team and

161
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: then having them lose close. I'd rather just if I

162
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: like a team. I like a team. But I'm gonna

163
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: take the Bengals. They're gonna lose, but I'll take the points.

164
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: That was a sloppy, long way of talking about at

165
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Sharper Square. It's like you're twisting yourself into a pretzel

166
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: to find a reason to bet the Bengals, and it's

167
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: a terrible idea. The Titans are the wise guy said here,

168
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: don't be don't be fooled by the hook. You know,

169
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: that's what we call it when a game is on

170
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: the half point. Don't be fooled by the three and

171
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: a half. That is a lure from the bookmakers to

172
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: get the squares to come in at bet Cincinnati. The

173
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Titans are the right side in this game. So happy

174
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: because I think the team. Yeah, if you if this

175
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: game was at four, the wise guys would still be

176
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: betting on the Titans. It's the first time the Titans

177
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: have all twenty two of their starters healthy. They used

178
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: the most players in NFL history this year, ninety one players.

179
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: We have yet to see this team at full strength,

180
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: and they're the number one seed. Credit to Mike Rabel,

181
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this. We've talked about this on

182
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: the Favorites on the podcast. Like Mike Rabel, he should

183
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: be the odds on favorite to be Coach of the year.

184
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Ninety one players used. He ended up with the number

185
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: one seed in the AFC, a glee a conference that

186
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: includes the Chiefs and the Bills and the Patriots, and

187
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: this guy still had the number one seed when he

188
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: has more than nine days to prepare. He's eight no

189
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: against the spread. He's just a really, really good coach.

190
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: So now you've got a d line for the Bengals

191
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: that has a lot of that is banged up, right,

192
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: Larry Ogajobi, he's out. Trey Hendrickson is playing, but he's

193
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: coming off a concussion. You're getting Derrick Henry back and fresh.

194
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: If you've seen the video of him, he is beaten

195
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: the crap out of people that are holding the pads

196
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: on his own team. You've got You've got a j

197
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: Brown back, You've got Julio Jones who will probably play

198
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of the snaps on offense. When those

199
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: three guys are on the field, they're averaging seven yards

200
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: per play. Okay, So now you've got a team at

201
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: full strength that was number one in the conference, a

202
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: competitive conference when they weren't at full strength. There's a

203
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: little bit too much euphoria around this Bengals team. Just

204
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: take the Titans the okay, and later I'm glad because

205
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: I think they're the better team. That makes me so happy,

206
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: So I'll do that. Hey, each win with FanDuel means

236
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: have been all year rested, I like Green Bay minus

237
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: five and a half or the Sharper square. So this

238
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: is this is a hard game. It's a it's a

239
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: really hard game, and there is no real consensus on this.

240
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: The wise guys desperately want to bet the Niners at

241
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: plus six, and they generally are, but you're not going

242
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: to find anyone who is sort of saying, oh, yeah,

243
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: this is why, right, the wise guys want to bet

244
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: him because that's a big number for a Kyle Shanahan

245
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: team that has played well against the Packers before the

246
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: health of Jimmy g here is a real concern, and

247
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: not just his hand, but did he injure his throwing shoulder.

248
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: You've got below zero temperatures. Can you expect the Packers

249
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: to just dare Jimmy g to throw the ball and

250
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: then sort of try to eliminate what makes Kyle Shannon

251
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: so great as a schemer. And I mean that in

252
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: a good way and as a play caller, which is

253
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: taking advantage of what his offensive line is. Sort of

254
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: that zone blocking in the running game can do. So

255
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: the Niners on the right side. Because it's a big

256
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: number for a really good team, You're probably going to

257
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: get Bosta back. Fred Warner is definitely going to be back.

258
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: But it's not one that makes anyone comfortable. So you're

259
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: not your equivocation here, which is what I'm doing is

260
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: more It's like it's more fair, all right. My second

261
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: favorite pick of the weekend, because my favorite is the

262
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: final game Bill's Chiefs. I'll get to that in a second.

263
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: My second favorite bet of the week is Bucks minus three.

264
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: So everything went perfect against Arizona. Matt Stafford only had

265
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: to throw seventeen times. They dominate the line of scrimmage.

266
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: Arizona doubled Cooper Cup. They went to Higsby, they went

267
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: to Van Jefferson, they went to the run game, they

268
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: went to O b J. They were at home. It

269
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: was very comfortable. It's a declining Arizona defense over the

270
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: last month, and Kyler Murray played poorly. It just worked

271
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: out perfectly. Although I do worry about the health of

272
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: the buccaneers oh line. They won't be able to run.

273
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: You're asking Matt Stafford to go on the road and

274
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: throw forty times. I don't love it. Now. I will

275
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: say this, Rams are pretty healthy right now. They're probably

276
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: healthier than Tampa. But I feel pretty strongly about the

277
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: multiple ways the Bucks can win. I think they're going

278
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: to get some running back, help back. Leonard Fernette may

279
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: play I'm going to take the Bucks minus three sharper

280
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: square in a surprise. It's pretty sharp. We talked about

281
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: this on the Favorites podcast as well. I don't mean

282
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: to be shamelessly dropping it, but it's one of the

283
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: one of the segments we do is called Sharp Calls.

284
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: And we'll do the podcast on Tuesday. Then we'll do

285
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: it on Thursday, and we will talk about the calls

286
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: that we've gotten over the forty eight hours, me and

287
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: Simon Hunter, my co host from Professional Betters, saying what

288
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 1: they agreed with and disagreed with about what we had

289
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: talked about on Tuesday, and we both came in saying

290
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: we liked the Rams at plus three and the line

291
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: has actually moved down to two and a half. So

292
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: the bookma have moved it in the Rams direction, but

293
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: that's largely because of the tickets, and there have been

294
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: a lot of very well known in the industry professional

295
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: betting syndicates. These are groups that bet large amounts of

296
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: money together. They spread it out all over the country

297
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: where you know, betting is legal in so many places now,

298
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: spending big money on the bucks, really really big money

299
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: on the bucks. So the professionals are backing you up there.

300
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: Best bet of the week Kansas City minus one and

301
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: a half. There's some numbers that tell you that Kansas

302
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: City has righted the ship. Josh Allen performances tend to

303
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: be spike struggle spike struggle. I think there'll be some

304
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: pretty good pressure applied to him with Kansas City's front.

305
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: I do like over the last couple of games, Buffalo

306
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: did really make a movement toward being more balanced. They

307
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: were running the ball more with mosson Singletary more, trying

308
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: to be less dependent on Josh Allen. But it's Greg

309
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: Sell says they are still the most quarterback dependent team

310
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: in the league. I like Kansas City to win by

311
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown, a lot of points, a lot of fun

312
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: sharper square, So I'm going to equivocate a little bit here.

313
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I like the Chiefs. My professional

314
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: betting friends, Simon Hunter loves the Chiefs. In this spot,

315
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: the wise guys collectively have been coming in on the Bills.

316
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: I think you and I and Simon are all in

317
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: the minority here. And this is what we call a

318
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: pros Joe's game. If you look at the tickets, it's

319
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: coming in on the Chiefs. If you look at the

320
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: money coming in on the Bills the line, that's why

321
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: it's dropped. It was at two and a half, then

322
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: it went to two. Unfortunately, I bet the Chiefs at

323
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: minus two. Now it's at one a half one and

324
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: a half, and a lot of the like a lot

325
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: of the professionals are actually just betting the Bills to

326
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: win outright. I think there is a lot of irrational

327
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: zuberans that is happening for the Bills right now. You

328
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: ask a lot of professionals, they say they're their top

329
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: rated team. I am going back to the basics. If

330
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: you're telling me, I'm getting a once in a generation

331
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: quarterback at home who is a two time defending conference

332
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: champion against the team, and the Bills that as good

333
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: as they are right now, and we all believe They're great,

334
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: still didn't do the things they needed to do to

335
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: put themselves in a position to have home field advantage

336
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: to out the playoffs. They lost to the Jacks, right,

337
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: that was the game to me that it's going to

338
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: come back and bite them a little bit. I think

339
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: they're going to look back at that and say, Wow,

340
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: we were not consistent enough. We were not good enough.

341
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: They are built to be the Chiefs. That is the

342
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: one thing they have focused on. I don't think it

343
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: will be enough. I am with you. We are making

344
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: an executive decision. We are overriding what the wise guys

345
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: are showing us. We're on the Chiefs, all right, I'm

346
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: gonna go Titans, Packers, Bucks, chief I know four favorites

347
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: aren't going to win, but it is interesting to I

348
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: want you to think about this for the first time

349
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: that I ever remember. The best quarterback one every division

350
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: last week, the best quarterback one every playoff game except

351
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: the Dallas San Francisco game. And I don't think the

352
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: gap between Dak and Garoppolo at this point is as

353
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: massive as many would stipulate. Every NFC playoff team was

354
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: an offensive head coach. Every single NFC playoff team from

355
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles all the way up to the Packers had

356
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: an offensive coach. If you take out the NFC East,

357
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, if you take out the AFC East were

358
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: it's four defensive coaches. Take that one out. The only

359
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: division that was won by a non offensive coach was

360
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: Mike Frabel. And by the way, that may just be

361
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: because Carson Wentz makes ridiculous decisions. I don't know. But

362
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: the best quarterback this weekend Aaron Rodgers, Brady Mahomes and

363
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: three of them. That's why I have That's why I

364
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: just have just a little pause with Cincinnati because Burrow

365
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: in the last two months has just been great. In fact,

366
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: I asked this question the other day. You get named

367
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: a general manager, it's a five year contract, so you're

368
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: worried about the next five years. You have to consider everything, health, age, cap,

369
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: hit drama. What five quarterbacks do you want? So, I said,

370
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen one, Mahomes two, I said Herbert three. Burrow

371
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: for injury puts Burrow behind him, though I think he's

372
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: a better quarterback, but that nasty rookie year injury was real.

373
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, cap hit five and probably Aaron Rodgers and

374
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford after that, and people say you're out of

375
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: your mind with Aaron. But if I'm a new GM,

376
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: Aaron's a lot of work and there's so much talent

377
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: now that it is much more coachable, not as punitive

378
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: a cap hit. So as great as he is, I

379
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: also I don't see Eric. He's gonna be thirty nine

380
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: years old after the season. Is he playing at forty four?

381
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: He's not Brady. If he lost this year in the playoffs,

382
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure he's a packer. So I'm not

383
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: going to predict his future. If I told you, everything considered,

384
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: you're a GM, five quarterbacks in order, who would you take? Mahomes?

385
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes Mahomes number one? He has to be your first pick.

386
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: He has to be. It doesn't matter how much money

387
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: he is costing you. Then you fill in around it.

388
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: He can do more with less. He's the greatest quarterback

389
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: of his generation. The things he can do are don't

390
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: don't give me, don't roll your eyes, don't give me

391
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: a look. He is He just is okay like that.

392
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: That team was dreadful when the season began, and because

393
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: of him, and because of the way he adjusts the

394
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: way he plays. They are now a team that is

395
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: a number two seed in the AFC. In the AFC,

396
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: love Josh Allen, totally agree, would definitely take Josh Allen.

397
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: I would put Aaron Rodgers up there. Thirty nine is

398
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: just not as old as it used to be, and

399
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: the guy is so gifted, and I think he is

400
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: so single minded in his desire to prove everybody wrong

401
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: all the time that that will play to the GM's

402
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: advantage when they have him. I love Herbert, I am

403
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: very worried about the inconstituency and the inaccuracies. I would

404
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: take Joe Burrow before I would take Herbert. So for me,

405
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: it would be Mahomes, Alan Rogers, Burrow, Herbert, and would

406
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: Stafford or Russell Wilson b sick. No, I take Tom

407
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: Brady before I take either of those guys. Give me

408
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: two years. Give me two years of Tom Brady. I

409
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: might get three years of Tom Brady as a GM,

410
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: but I would not take Russell Wilson or Matthew Stafford. Yeah.

411
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: See that's the difference. I have. I drop friends for

412
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: two reasons. You're a bad tipper or high maintenance, you're out.

413
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: Those are my only two. So I can't deal with you.

414
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: Ever see that show Intervention I watched at one time

415
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I can't watch this. These people drive

416
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: me crazy. I neediness is a game ender for me.

417
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: So you probably have more emotional intelligence you could, baby,

418
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: said Aaron, I'd be like fog out of the office.

419
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: I can't deal with your nonsense. I just can't do it.

420
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: I can't. I have a rule in my life, and

421
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, my wife says this, Boats don't sink because

422
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: of the water around them. They sink based on how

423
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: much water you'll let into the boat. I don't want

424
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in my boat. I don't want to deal

425
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: with that nonsense. But you probably can deal with people

426
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: like that. I can't deal with high maintenance people. Well. Look,

427
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: I definitely have throughout my career and managed a lot

428
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: of talent, have abided as much as I possibly can

429
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: buy a no asshole policy. And when we've built Action Network,

430
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: we very much have tried to build it that way,

431
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: and we haven't always done it. And when we've hired

432
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: people that haven't been the right fit, who haven't gotten along,

433
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: who have been selfish about how they think about what

434
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: they're doing within the constructor of the company. They don't

435
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: last very long, right, But I'm always willing to take

436
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: the shot. I am willing to take a shot on talent.

437
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: I am willing to say, can we figure out a

438
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: way to make it work. If it doesn't work, it

439
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: doesn't work, you know, you clean your hands, you walk away.

440
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: That's that. If I'm a GM and I get Aaron

441
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers and I can have them for two years, that

442
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: might be what I need to win a super Bowl.

443
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: That might mean what I need to get a contract extension,

444
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: That might be what I need to establish my legacy

445
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: to go on the speaking tour. Like I'm thinking partially

446
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: selfishly here, what is Aaron Rodgers gonna get me? And

447
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: he's still going to be better than what is it

448
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine other quarterbacks in the NFL? He's going to

449
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: win with their MVP this year. I don't know the

450
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 1: whole Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Baker Mayfield. God, it's just

451
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, Cutler and Baker and it's a lot of work. Guy.

452
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: Come on, there's no there's no comparison between Aaron Rodgers,

453
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, and Baker Mayfield because Jay Cutler and Baker

454
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Mayfield never won anything. They didn't come through in the

455
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: clutch in any time in their careers. Aaron Rodgers has

456
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: come through in the clutch so many times. He's a

457
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: better quarterback by every measure than those guys. Amaron Rodgers

458
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame. Jay Culer is not

459
