Speaker 1: So it's a lot going on to be clear. But
Speaker 1: oh gosh, oh yeah, So I'm in because let me
Speaker 1: set the table further. I'm I text my poker buddies,
Speaker 1: because I'm in Monte Carlo and I know there's great
Speaker 1: poker in Monte Carlo, but you can't find it, like
Speaker 1: you've got to like be invited. I played in a
Speaker 1: card game in Switzerland. I played in a card game
Speaker 1: in Italy. I played in card games in France, elsewhere,
Speaker 1: but Monaco. I didn't know where to go. So one
Speaker 1: that text did not lead me to a card game.
Speaker 1: It did lead me to end up challenging helm Youth
Speaker 1: to this five thousand dollars a person survivor contest, which
Speaker 1: I then and you know, I'll be honest if you
Speaker 1: saw that long video A few cocktails in posted me

Speaker 1: he's like, okay, deal, let you know, you know what,
Speaker 1: fourteen million will make it work and then next year
Speaker 1: we'll go through all of this all over again. Euro
Speaker 1: Basket starts tomorrow and this is where demands I Am
Speaker 1: going to reveal how uncool I am justin Herbert and
Speaker 1: Madison Bearer dating, and this is where I tell you
Speaker 1: I have no idea who Madison Beer is.
Speaker 2: Nun Yeah, I've heard of her a few times. I
Speaker 2: don't I think she's probably an actor, but uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what we're not that. I'm first of all,
Speaker 1: couldn't be more proud that you're as ignorant on this
Speaker 1: topic is me. I'm sure she's lovely, she is beautiful, obviously,
Speaker 1: I don't know why she's famed.
Speaker 2: She's probably.
Speaker 1: I was gonna guess TikToker can any do any of
Speaker 1: our producers is singer. I should have looked it up.
Speaker 1: I know it singer songwriter. Oh okay, all right, sweet again.
Speaker 1: But I am not trying to be the the I
Speaker 1: don't really have a well, he's a pro athlete. It's
Speaker 1: probably some type of recovery thing. Yeah, I mean, would
Speaker 1: I wear a leg sleeve? No, I'm not a pro athlete,
Speaker 1: like I'm not.
Speaker 2: But uh.
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's no shade thrown at Madison
Speaker 1: Beer there. And I I I just truly was unfamiliar
Speaker 1: with why she was famous. But she was super like
Speaker 1: super famous evidently because what she posted. Someone posted a
Speaker 1: paparazzi picture of her and herb was like in the background,
Speaker 1: and and Charger fans were like, I think that's justin Herbert,
Speaker 1: and then they were the whole thing. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to the show to Monsday. Before we get to
Speaker 1: our all thirty two team over unders, we have news
Speaker 1: on the Browns quarterback competition.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Chador's final preseason game was a little shaky.
Speaker 2: He threw for fourteen total yards, took five sacks, And
Speaker 2: now Chador fans are coming out and saying that the
Speaker 2: team and Kevin Stefanski are conspiring against you. But also
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett just got cut. So you know, if the
Speaker 2: landscape wh changed up a little, Kenny Thicket traded to
Speaker 2: the Raiders traded, so the landscape white, it changed up
Speaker 2: over there a little bit. What's the situation looking like for.
Speaker 1: Shadur All right, well, listen, he was he started camp
Speaker 1: fourth string, he stayed fourth string. He's now third string
Speaker 1: because one of the strings is on the Raiders. And
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you the very sober analysis of this.
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna talk bigger picture of it, and then honestly,
Speaker 1: we are not going to talk about the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: and the quarterback situation again. And god willing for months,
Speaker 1: Shadora could not afford the type of performance he had
Speaker 1: in the third preseason game. It is as simple as that,
Speaker 1: when you are a late round pick rookie, you can't
Speaker 1: have a disastrous performance. You can't, and he did. It
Speaker 1: was not the coach's fault, it was not the offensive
Speaker 1: line's fault. It was he had a bad game, flatly.
Speaker 1: And the reason it is extra concerning is those of
Speaker 1: us that were skeptical that he was ever truly a
Speaker 1: first round talent. We were worried that his bad games
Speaker 1: would look a lot like that, like trying to do
Speaker 1: a little too much with his legs, overestimating his escapability
Speaker 1: and taking those big, deep, long sacks. Schador needed to
Speaker 1: thread a perfect needle, and he was. By the way
Speaker 1: early on in camp. He needed to play well in practice.
Speaker 1: It looked like he was. He needed Dylan Gabriel to
Speaker 1: struggle in practice he was. He needed to play well
Speaker 1: in the first preseason game. He did, He needed Gabriel
Speaker 1: to struggle. In the first preseason game. Gabriel didn't even play.
Speaker 1: So all of that was going best case scenario for
Speaker 1: Shador to achieve what was the only realistic goal for
Speaker 1: him this offseason, which was past Dylan Gabriel in the
Speaker 1: death chart. He was never going to be the Browns
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in Week one. It was always the Browns
Speaker 1: plan very clearly was one of the veterans is starting,
Speaker 1: and then the kids are backing him up, and all
Speaker 1: of it was going according to plan. Shadoor then suffered
Speaker 1: a slight injury which made him not able to play
Speaker 1: at all in the second preseason game. Gabriel then, after
Speaker 1: some really bad practices played quite well in the second
Speaker 1: preseason game. Then in the third preseason game, Gabriel played
Speaker 1: quite well again and Shador had a disastrous performance. And
Speaker 1: that is now that as far as the quarterback competition goes.
Speaker 1: That is not conspiratorial, That is not unfair, that is
Speaker 1: not unjust. That is life in the NFL. Is a
Speaker 1: late round draft pick. That is what happened here. Also,
Speaker 1: Shador fans need to recognize there's not a team in
Speaker 1: the league he'd start for.
Speaker 2: Not one.
Speaker 1: You're on the team with arguably the worst quarterback situation,
Speaker 1: and he is fairly right now their third best option
Speaker 1: to starting quarterback. Okay, that is where we're at now.
Speaker 1: Is that a death knell for his career?
Speaker 2: No is.
Speaker 1: Do I think he has more potential than Gabriel because
Speaker 1: of size and pedigree. I do, But if I had
Speaker 1: to from what we saw in those preseason games, if
Speaker 1: in Week one Flacco goes out, you would have to
Speaker 1: be more comfortable putting Gabriel in. That is what it is.
Speaker 1: That's not ridiculous, that's not unfair. That's not a vast conspiracy.
Speaker 1: That is what it is. The reason I find this
Speaker 1: story interesting is the reason I find a lot of
Speaker 1: things interesting is when they are symbolic for a greater
Speaker 1: problem or issue, and the Shadoor Sanders come and terry
Speaker 1: to me is a case study in what has in
Speaker 1: what is currently ailing so much of our discourse surrounding
Speaker 1: sports and other things which is either totally uninformed actors
Speaker 1: or outright bad actors churning the outrage mill to create
Speaker 1: engagement and controversy. That then the current actual media feels
Speaker 1: obligated to treat seriously because well, it's what people are
Speaker 1: talking about, and then it becomes a valid, real story.
Speaker 1: And so you have folks that absolutely know better saying
Speaker 1: things like Shadoor was out there with the fifth string
Speaker 1: offensive line, when such a thing does not exist. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: if there's not that offensive lineman was tenth on the
Speaker 1: depth chart, Well there's, yeah, I get it. But there's
Speaker 1: five offensive linemen that play at a time, and so
Speaker 1: there is the first of all, there is no such
Speaker 1: thing as a fifth string offensive line. You have people
Speaker 1: who know better saying, oh, color me shocked those offensive
Speaker 1: linemen on the field. Was Shador were cut shortly after
Speaker 1: the game? No shit, man, you're at a ninety man
Speaker 1: roster in your third preseason game. Thirty seven of those
Speaker 1: guys aren't making the team. Guess who doesn't make the team?
Speaker 1: Guys playing at the end of their preseason games. And
Speaker 1: there is just just a kernel of enough validity to
Speaker 1: the conspiracies. Because is it likely true that the head
Speaker 1: coach didn't actually want Shador and the owner told him
Speaker 1: to draft him, Yes, probably is true. Is it likely
Speaker 1: true that the head coach wanted Dylan Gabriel to win
Speaker 1: that competition because that's the quarterback he wanted, and Shador
Speaker 1: is the quarterback the owner wanted. Yes, that is likely true.
Speaker 1: Does any of that mean Shador was put set up
Speaker 1: to fail, couldn't succeed? No man, throw the ball away,
Speaker 1: don't retreat back twenty five yards, don't don't make the
Speaker 1: types of mistakes that some of us were worried you
Speaker 1: would make. And it's not again, you're fifth round pick.
Speaker 1: It's fine. But and because the owner wanted you on
Speaker 1: the team, you're likely going to get to play at
Speaker 1: some point this year, because the owner said both rookies
Speaker 1: are gonna need to play. So the way this probably
Speaker 1: goes is the Browns start the season, they're bad. Third
Speaker 1: of the way into the season, they pull the plug
Speaker 1: on Flacco. They go to Dylan Gabriel. They're still quite bad.
Speaker 1: Gabriel as in my opinion, an overdrafted third round pick.
Speaker 1: He doesn't look like the guy. And five six games
Speaker 1: later they give Shador a try, and Shador is a
Speaker 1: slightly underdrafted but still not ready fifth round pick. He
Speaker 1: doesn't look like the guy. And next year the Browns
Speaker 1: use the pick they got from the Jags and their
Speaker 1: own pick to draft their actual quarterback. That's probably how
Speaker 1: this thing's going to go, but it is the the
Speaker 1: folks out there promoting the idea league wide code read
Speaker 1: the whole league was told don't draft him, and then
Speaker 1: the Browns were told to draft him, and then internal
Speaker 1: Brown's code read only call the bad plays Kevin. And
Speaker 1: then also the same folks and I didn't understand the
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley signing. I said that from the beginning. I
Speaker 1: didn't understand Tyler Huntley playing that two minute drill. But
Speaker 1: the folks saying Shador was set up to fail with
Speaker 1: that terrible offensive line are into the same folks saying,
Speaker 1: and how dare you not put him in the two
Speaker 1: minute drill? It's not that complicated guys, and this isn't
Speaker 1: fair to Shador. He did not do this to himself, demonse.
Speaker 1: But here is a reality of it, this entire conversation
Speaker 1: and media. Maelstrom is one of the reasons he fell
Speaker 1: in the draft because he's not a stud player and
Speaker 1: once and all and no other team is having to
Speaker 1: answer questions about their deep end quarterback competition and it's
Speaker 1: the only things Defanski's had to deal with. So it's
Speaker 1: just that is what it is, and the Raiders needed pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why Gabriel was ahead of him. I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody should be calling for a conspiracy like you saw.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing. And that's what's to me
Speaker 1: so disheartening is we saw the game and people are
Speaker 1: still like, Nope, that does not jive with my priors,
Speaker 1: that does not jive with what I wanted to be true.
Speaker 1: And there is an element of have you ever watched
Speaker 1: the this this is a bridge too far, but I
Speaker 1: don't I don't care. Have you ever watched the Flat
Speaker 1: Earth documentary? You should watch it. It's really a truly
Speaker 1: fascinating ninety minutes. Okay, and these aren't bad people and
Speaker 1: it is really interesting, but the culmination of the documentary
Speaker 1: is one of the group of flat earthers saying, or
Speaker 1: spending a ton of money into getting the equipment. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get this a little wrong. The optical equipment. You
Speaker 1: would need to prove that. All right, we're gonna set
Speaker 1: up this pole and light here, and we're gonna set
Speaker 1: up another pole here, and if the earth was flat,
Speaker 1: the light will shine at this place, and if the
Speaker 1: earth was flat the light or round, the light will
Speaker 1: shine at this place. And we're gonna prove it. And
Speaker 1: they do it, and the light shows up where it
Speaker 1: would show up if the earth were round, and the
Speaker 1: reaction initially is huh, let's try it again. Then they
Speaker 1: do it again, and it is a brief questioning is
Speaker 1: the equipment broken? And then it immediately goes to Wow,
Speaker 1: the conspiracies even bigger than we thought. They've somehow hacked lighting.
Speaker 1: And there is an element of that with some of
Speaker 1: the Shadoor stuff, which was right. It was he's clearly better,
Speaker 1: He clearly should be the guy. He's clearly not getting
Speaker 1: the opportunities. They're clearly if he and Gabriel were both playing,
Speaker 1: and then they play a game. Gabriel looks good. Shador
Speaker 1: has a really really tough performance, and instead of it
Speaker 1: being like, oh, okay, that's why he was ahead of
Speaker 1: him on the depth chart, it was Wow, these sons
Speaker 1: of bitches will go to no end to stop my guy.
Speaker 1: And it's it's a little canary in the coal mine
Speaker 1: of some of the bigger issues we have right now
Speaker 1: with what is truth and what is not And so
Speaker 1: I find it interesting. I do. I know that my
Speaker 1: favorite NFL podcast, Greg Rosenthal's NFL Daily, which I'll be
Speaker 1: on later this week, actually, you know, they have done
Speaker 1: they have tried to do a They have done a
Speaker 1: really good job of like not leading with the topic
Speaker 1: every day that you know. The show's like the shows
Speaker 1: like mine lead with the juiciest thing because they're like
Speaker 1: really giving you the news and information and stuff. And
Speaker 1: I respect that entirely. But there is a deeper element
Speaker 1: to some of the Shador stuff that I find fascinating,
Speaker 1: just like there's a deeper element actually to some of
Speaker 1: the Mica stuff that I find fascinating that's actually about
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and power and things like that. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, or had a chance.
Speaker 2: If he looked better anyways, like why would they want
Speaker 2: to make him look bad? It would be in their
Speaker 2: businesses for Shador to look great by the end, even
Speaker 2: if they didn't plan on keeping him.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, guys who want to keep their
Speaker 1: jobs want their quarterback, want to put the best quarterback
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, I mean there's most of the
Speaker 1: most conspiracies Demanse fall apart at the first or second question,
Speaker 1: most like and that you just asked the first question,
Speaker 1: which is the wait, why again? Explain it to me?
Speaker 1: Just like the Chiefs, the you know, league rigged for
Speaker 1: the Chiefs conspiracy. It's like, hey, remind me again, who
Speaker 1: is the league? The thirty two teams? So why again
Speaker 1: are the Chargers in on this? Like some explain that
Speaker 1: to me? So most of them fall apart instantly, But
Speaker 1: so listen, he had a chance to pass Gabriel, and
Speaker 1: if Gabriel, and the nicer way to frame it is
Speaker 1: Gabriel after that injury and watching Shador in preseason game one,
Speaker 1: was under real pressure and Gabriel responded, and so shout
Speaker 1: out to him. All right, before we get to the
Speaker 1: micro stuff and then are over unders, the rivalries, the

Speaker 1: All right, demonse, let's do the cowboys here again, a
Speaker 1: kind of bigger picture thing. We're gonna get to our
Speaker 1: over unders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so things are getting spicy and Dallas not only
Speaker 2: has Mike Parsons not agreed on a new contract extension,
Speaker 2: but he was seen everything but sleeping on the tin
Speaker 2: at the last on the training table. So things are
Speaker 2: so bad in Dallas. You had them last and last
Speaker 2: place in your predictions a week. You also somehow connected
Speaker 2: Micah's situation to the alleged Chiefs disrespect. Did you do
Speaker 2: you mind explaining both of those?
Speaker 1: Sure, I'll start with the Chiefs one real quick. And
Speaker 1: I'm so mad it took me this long. I had
Speaker 1: this like Eureka moment because listen, I scroll Twitter, I
Speaker 1: see the other shows I see, and so many folks
Speaker 1: are Chiefs are vulnerable, Chiefs are on the downturn. Ravens
Speaker 1: and Bills have gotten better, Chiefs have gotten worse. Like
Speaker 1: you know, Chiefs are fairly you know, still really good,
Speaker 1: but they're not the caliber of those other teams that
Speaker 1: those takes are. It's not straw man. Those takes are
Speaker 1: very common this offseason. But then I realized during the
Speaker 1: Mica conversation, so many of the people who are currently
Speaker 1: arguing the Ravens are the best team in the AFC,
Speaker 1: the Bills are the best team in the AFC. When
Speaker 1: the subject of who should trade for Micah Parsons comes up,
Speaker 1: you know what, I haven't take I haven't seen, well,
Speaker 1: Kansas City better do it in order to bridge the
Speaker 1: gap between them and Baltimore. If they want to stop
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in football, Josh Allen, if they want
Speaker 1: to slow down the most dynamic duel threat we've ever
Speaker 1: seen in Lamar Jackson, the Chiefs need to go all
Speaker 1: in and trade for Michael Parsons. No one's had that
Speaker 1: take you know what, take you here every fing day.
Speaker 1: If I'm Baltimore or Buffalo, I get on the phone
Speaker 1: with Dallas right now. So finish the thought. Why who
Speaker 1: in that scenario where Baltimore or Buffalo are trading multiple
Speaker 1: first round picks and giving out a record setting contract
Speaker 1: to get a pass rushing edge defender, Who is it
Speaker 1: that they're acquiring that to beat? Not, of course, the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: because those teams they're already better. They've already, they've already,
Speaker 1: they've already ascended. I was watching, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: you all told on yourselves. You all are claiming you
Speaker 1: think Buffalo or Baltimore are better, But then you're also saying, uh,
Speaker 1: they might need to add the league's best defensive player
Speaker 1: because they need to get over the hump. What's the
Speaker 1: hump we're talking about. So that's how I connected it
Speaker 1: to the chief situation. I'm one hundred percent right. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows it. Now here's the Dallas thing. And this is
Speaker 1: what I find fascinating and the reason I want to
Speaker 1: talk about it. Jerry Jones has broken the rules and
Speaker 1: nobody but Mike Florio seems to care. He is not
Speaker 1: allowed to negotiate directly with Micah Parsons. He knows that
Speaker 1: he does not care, and he not only did it,
Speaker 1: but his stances it's a binding negotiation and he is
Speaker 1: fine with saying to the world at large, Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: nothing more to negotiate. I negotiated it with him, and
Speaker 1: it is so brazen, brazen, brazen, and credit to Durell
Speaker 1: Reeves and I think Matt Shaub are the two people
Speaker 1: who have come out and said the NFLPA needs file aggrievance.
Speaker 1: Of course they do. If a player has an agent,
Speaker 1: you are not allowed to negotiate with the player directly.
Speaker 1: And Jerry is now saying we negotiated, it's done, and
Speaker 1: if he doesn't agree to what, we have him under
Speaker 1: contract this year and franchise have them in the next
Speaker 1: two years. So I think this has gotten far uglier
Speaker 1: then the Dack situation, and I don't think it is
Speaker 1: going to be quite as simple as oh, the day
Speaker 1: before the season they re sign him. Maybe they do,
Speaker 1: and Jerry just sacrificed having my get full strength for
Speaker 1: week one for months worth the headlines, and maybe that's
Speaker 1: a good trade off for him. If I were a
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan, I'd be livid. All right, now, we do
Speaker 1: need to get to the gambling show. But first, a
Speaker 1: couple of reminders, one like rate subscribe review, the other
Speaker 1: one you asked us questions in the doc. There's it
Speaker 1: is roster cutdown day, Demons, but there's no big roster
Speaker 1: news as yet today. Yeah, man, his agent's gonna be
Speaker 1: so bid. And uh, the US Open is going on.
Speaker 1: I Am going tomorrow night. So we will have a
Speaker 1: tennis corner update fresh off a few honeyduces Thursday morning
Speaker 1: on the show. But before we get to our all
Speaker 1: thirty two over unders, let me talk to you guys

Speaker 1: All right, Demanse set us up on the Gambling Show
Speaker 1: and how we do.
Speaker 2: It favorite time of the year, So it is time
Speaker 2: to break down the win totals for the thirty two
Speaker 2: NFL teams you're gonna give your picks, and we were
Speaker 2: gonna tell us which teams you're intending to stay away.
Speaker 2: So last year you went six and two on your
Speaker 2: over unders, and even though you didn't bet these, you
Speaker 2: went twelve and seven on your stayaways. It looks like
Speaker 2: are you trying to sin on my lean stairways?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me so. Overall last year I went twenty
Speaker 1: and twelve total. Okay, twenty and twelve overall, I made
Speaker 1: eight actual bets. I was six and two on them.
Speaker 1: So the we're gonna give you all thirty two teams
Speaker 1: this year, there are ten actual bets I'm making, but
Speaker 1: I will give you the actually you know, I will
Speaker 1: tell you which way I'm going on all thirty two.
Speaker 1: But I'm only making ten actual bets. But last year,
Speaker 1: if you just bet every single team that I said
Speaker 1: over under, it would you would have had twenty wins
Speaker 1: twelve losses. And as always, all lines and odds courtesy
Speaker 1: of DraftKings. Lines and odds subject to change. So here's
Speaker 1: the deal, and we'll go over the full recap of
Speaker 1: last year's gambling show on Thursday show Demonse I forgot
Speaker 1: this absolutely crushed in the preseason gambling show, Demonse made
Speaker 1: five bets and was plus nine units on the bets
Speaker 1: because they were all big plus odds. You crushed on those.
Speaker 1: The the I believe in you. The over unders are
Speaker 1: important that you incorporate the vig on it. You can't
Speaker 1: incorporate the vig on the record, but on your bet
Speaker 1: you obviously can incorporate profit loss. We're gonna do this
Speaker 1: division by division. I'm gonna roll through them and demands
Speaker 1: that you and I will discuss them. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, in the AFC East there is not an
Speaker 1: over under that I am betting. But we'll go through
Speaker 1: them and I'll tell you which one I'm leaning. So
Speaker 1: the Bills are being listed in most places as an
Speaker 1: over under of eleven and a half, but there's been
Speaker 1: so much action on the over that it's minus one
Speaker 1: seventy five viig at the eleven and a half. So
Speaker 1: the the total for the Bills that is truly their
Speaker 1: updated total is twelve and a half. Because the the
Speaker 1: big on twelve and a half is plus one twenty
Speaker 1: five over minus one fifty under that I feel like
Speaker 1: the Bills are a twelve and five team. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're getting to thirteen wins. I could see eleven
Speaker 1: and six. I think that the so this would be
Speaker 1: to me at twelve and a half laying minus one
Speaker 1: fifty a slight under. Sean McDermott seems a little concerned
Speaker 1: about their defense to Monse but I Josh is too
Speaker 1: good and they have such an advantage of that division
Speaker 1: and owning it the way they do that, it feels
Speaker 1: like their floor is ten wins. I think they are
Speaker 1: a twelve and five team. I would go under just barely.
Speaker 1: And any of these demonse that you have a big
Speaker 1: issue with or want to add to just do it.
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of definitely on twelve and a half
Speaker 2: for the Bills, I want to schedule I season. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't feel tough going over on twelve the Bills.
Speaker 1: Issue and so and the other thing is how good
Speaker 1: do we think the AFC East is going to be?
Speaker 1: And this is where it gets tricky. Dolphin's total is
Speaker 1: seven and a half. They win win to a play
Speaker 1: and by the way, the veig is almost exactly even
Speaker 1: minus one oh five minus one fifteen over under. The
Speaker 1: vibes with the Dolphins seem to be wretched right they
Speaker 1: also win win to a plays and they have a
Speaker 1: very good d line, but Tyreek doesn't seem to want
Speaker 1: to be there. This feels like the perfect number. I
Speaker 1: am going to gosh darn it. This is why I'm
Speaker 1: not betting these I'm going to buy the slightest of margins,
Speaker 1: say under. I definitely can see them going eight and nine,
Speaker 1: but I will say it's a seven and ten Dolphins year,
Speaker 1: and I will go slightly under. It would not shock
Speaker 1: me if the Dolphins start off hot and it looks
Speaker 1: like you know the Dolphins from a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: but over the course of the season, I just can't
Speaker 1: trust them. And it seems like the team might be
Speaker 1: souring on Mike McDaniel a bit, or at least not
Speaker 1: taking them as seriously. I'm a slight under.
Speaker 2: Aren't those things kind of reversed though, to be there?
Speaker 2: And the team also isn't souring on McDaniel. No, correct, Oh,
Speaker 2: you were just saying in that case.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so no, it could. That's why I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little anxious about it, but I will
Speaker 1: go slight under. This one shocked me. Patriots over under
Speaker 1: eight and a half when that number came out, I
Speaker 1: thought it was way too high. The juice is even
Speaker 1: on both sides, minus one ten and yet despite that, Demons,
Speaker 1: I'm going over.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I believe in Mike rabel.
Speaker 2: I.
Speaker 1: They get the Dolphins in Week eighteen in New England.
Speaker 1: You love that for them. It'll be zero degrees. They
Speaker 1: get two games against the Jets, who I'll get to
Speaker 1: in a moment. Drake may will be better than he
Speaker 1: was last year. I think the Patriots win nine or
Speaker 1: ten games, can make the playoffs, and I will go
Speaker 1: over on the New England Patriots. His schedule's bad, you
Speaker 1: meaning easy or hard?
Speaker 2: Easy schedule?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I mean that's a huge piece of it.
Speaker 1: The huge piece of it is who they ended up drawing.
Speaker 1: Scheduleise Jets six and a half with heavy juice on
Speaker 1: the under. I still have to go under because all
Speaker 1: of the reports out of Jets training camp Demanse are
Speaker 1: that that offense is in real, real trouble. I like
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn. I think he's trying to build something. I
Speaker 1: think he'll build it in the mold of Dan Campbell
Speaker 1: and Detroit. But Dan Campbell's first year in Detroit it
Speaker 1: was not good. I think it will be similar with
Speaker 1: the Jets, and again I'm not betting it, but for
Speaker 1: the AFC East, Bill's Dolphins, Jets all unders, Patriots overs,
Speaker 1: and then we move to a division. I have strong
Speaker 1: feelings on a lot of these teams, but only one
Speaker 1: win total that I want to bet, and that's the
Speaker 1: AFC North. So Ravens demonse over under eleven and a
Speaker 1: half juice slightly to the over. I am not betting it,
Speaker 1: but you cannot. You can't pick a Ravens under until
Speaker 1: proven otherwise, and so to me, they are an over
Speaker 1: in Lamar. Like last year, it felt like they lost
Speaker 1: a ton of dumb games, they still won twelve and
Speaker 1: I like the move the moves they made this offseason.
Speaker 1: I think they will continue to be a regular season juggernaut.
Speaker 1: With that said, the reason this is not a bet
Speaker 1: for me is the slight concern that Derek hen we
Speaker 1: saw the last great Derek Henry season, and if that's
Speaker 1: the case, I could see them only winning eleven games.
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't shock me if this team goes fourteen
Speaker 1: and three. It would shock me if this team goes
Speaker 1: ten and seven. So because of that, I'm an over.
Speaker 1: I imagine you Demonse are a strong over for Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, yeah, definitely the best team in the NFL
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Definitely the best team in the NFL.
Speaker 2: I mean easily the top two or three. But yeah,
Speaker 2: so that's good for Listen, a lot of people think
Speaker 2: they're the.
Speaker 1: Best team in the NFL. Mena. Kimes got very mad
Speaker 1: at me because I did not, But I certainly think
Speaker 1: they are. They are set up for massive regular season success.
Speaker 1: I also think that when you were talking about like
Speaker 1: the Patriots schedule the Ravens schedules in the other direction,
Speaker 1: it is brutality for the Ravens. Now what does that
Speaker 1: mean for him? I they they typically have a tough
Speaker 1: schedule this year. To me, if you want it to
Speaker 1: hear it player, it's.
Speaker 2: Not it's not that bad. I mean, obviously you got
Speaker 2: the divisional games, but then outside of that, like you
Speaker 2: got the Rams.
Speaker 1: Then you have the divisional Yeah that's what. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have the divisional games plus the NFC North plus the
Speaker 1: other I have it right here? What's the other division
Speaker 1: that they play? Sorry I had it and now I
Speaker 1: closed it. But regardless, I think that and the AFC East.
Speaker 1: So the AFC East is not brutal, but it's certainly
Speaker 1: not an easy schedule. But there, Listen, they win seventy
Speaker 1: five percent of their games in the regular season. With Lamar,
Speaker 1: they would be an over. It's not a bet for me.
Speaker 1: Here is our first bet. The Bengals under nine and
Speaker 1: a half wins at minus one fifteen. Why is the
Speaker 1: defense going to be better than last year's And if
Speaker 1: the answer is lu an Arumo was a was a
Speaker 1: you know, an inside agent for the opposition, so be it.
Speaker 1: But I disagree. And so the the They did get
Speaker 1: Drey Hendrickson back, that does matter. I'm not dismissing that. However,
Speaker 1: sure they had him like last year and he led
Speaker 1: the NFL in sacks. I think the offensive line could
Speaker 1: be a real problem and because of that demands I
Speaker 1: think Burrow. Listen, Burrow, Chase and Higgins are gonna be great.
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be as good as they were last year?
Speaker 1: I don't know. And because of that, to me, the
Speaker 1: Bengals have a carbon copy year of last year. They
Speaker 1: win nine games, they missed the playoffs, and they fire
Speaker 1: their head coach. That is my major Cincinnati Bengals prediction
Speaker 1: is this is Zach Taylor's last year there. And here's
Speaker 1: the other thing with the Bengals. When you look at
Speaker 1: their schedule, you like to say, oh, it opened soft
Speaker 1: at Cleveland home for the Jags. They start every year
Speaker 1: so terribly. I don't know that I want my easy games.
Speaker 1: Early last year they started against New England and found
Speaker 1: a way to lose. I also think Miles Ga it
Speaker 1: could wreak some havoc in Week one against them. I
Speaker 1: just again, I'm not saying the Browns are gonna beat them.
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals aren't under and that that is
Speaker 1: a bet. This next one, Demons is such a disrespectful number. Now,
Speaker 1: the Browns total set it four and a half minus
Speaker 1: one forty five on the over, plus one twenty on
Speaker 1: the under. It's an absolute stay away. But I will
Speaker 1: if I have to pick, I will pick over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the four and a half wins when you
Speaker 1: get seventeen games. Now, now it is given the fact
Speaker 1: that they were a last place team, you look at
Speaker 1: the schedule and you're like, where are the super easy
Speaker 1: games and then you realize, like one of their strength
Speaker 1: of schedule last place games is the Niners. Like that's unlucky.
Speaker 1: The Titans is a last place schedule game. But they
Speaker 1: get the Titans demanday late in the year when cam
Speaker 1: Ward should be better. So you know that's a bummer
Speaker 1: for them. They get the.
Speaker 2: Honest the bet. Yeah, you don't even with things right?
Speaker 1: Well, no, they start unbelievable Bengals, Ravens, Packers, Lions is
Speaker 1: how they start, Like, give me a break. And then
Speaker 1: but I don't think the Steelers and Bengals are gonna
Speaker 1: be great. And the numbers four and a half, I've
Speaker 1: got to go over four and a half, and so
Speaker 1: I will go over four and a half, but it's
Speaker 1: not a bet for me. And then we get the Steelers,
Speaker 1: who cost me a ton of money last year. I
Speaker 1: faded the Steelers left and right, and they somehow found
Speaker 1: a way in to the playoffs. Their total is eight
Speaker 1: and a half. They are minus one fifteen minus one
Speaker 1: oh five. I am an under for Pittsburgh, but it
Speaker 1: is not a bet. I said this two months ago
Speaker 1: and I will stick with it. I think that we
Speaker 1: have Mike Tomlin's first losing season as Aaron Rodgers' final season.
Speaker 1: That was a take I had before they signed Rogers.
Speaker 1: Brew then made it his own take. But then he
Speaker 1: flip flopped it, so I took it back. And so
Speaker 1: I know, doubting that Tomlin can get to nine wins
Speaker 1: has only ever been a losing bet or doubting that
Speaker 1: he can get to five hundred. He did go what
Speaker 1: eight eight and one one year or something. He's never
Speaker 1: been below five hundred out of at some point, right,
Speaker 1: I would think so, And I just I I think
Speaker 1: they will have a good but not overwhelmingly dominant defense.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Rogers dk metcalf fit is a
Speaker 1: smart one like one that makes sense, and so because
Speaker 1: of that, I am going to go under on the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, which also means through two divisions, I only
Speaker 1: have one bet. The bet is Bengals under nine and
Speaker 1: a half, but I am also skewing towards unders. The
Speaker 1: only I have under for Bills twelve and a half,
Speaker 1: Dolphins seven and a half, Jets six and a half,
Speaker 1: Bengals nine and a half, Steelers eight and a half,
Speaker 1: over Brown's four and a half, over Patriots eight and
Speaker 1: a half, and over Bengals I'm sorry, and over Ravens
Speaker 1: eleven and a half. Thank you. Also, in the least
Speaker 1: shocking news ever, we are only going to do the
Speaker 1: AFC today because we're not gonna get through thirty two
Speaker 1: teams in thirty minutes. This is exactly what happened last
Speaker 1: year where Tuesday's show I tried to do some actual news,
Speaker 1: then all thirty two teams, and then what we ended
Speaker 1: up doing was some actual news sixteen teams, and then
Speaker 1: Thursday we do the NFC and all our other bets.
Speaker 1: Remind me in twenty twenty six, guys, just format it
Speaker 1: as such. But in the meantime, we still have half
Speaker 1: the conference to go through, and we have one, two, three,
Speaker 1: five bets we are making from the AFC South and
Speaker 1: the AFC West. But before we do that, I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, I am so excited it's finally here.

Speaker 1: friends at seat Geek. All right, Deman's now to the
Speaker 1: AFC out. We have the Texans nine and a half
Speaker 1: wins with minus one thirty on the under, so Vegas
Speaker 1: favoring the under for the Texans.
Speaker 2: I will go.
Speaker 1: This is a lean, not a bet, but a lean.
Speaker 1: I will go by the slightest of bits and over
Speaker 1: for the Texans. I like don't love I like the quarterback,
Speaker 1: I really like the coach. I love the defense. I
Speaker 1: think the Texans defense has a chance to be the
Speaker 1: best defense in football this year. They certainly should have
Speaker 1: the best pass defense, pass rush plus secondary in football.
Speaker 1: They could be vulnerable against the run. I'm worried about
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I'm worried about some of the receiving options,
Speaker 1: and that you know. The injuries are running back, I
Speaker 1: think are a real thing. But I like CJ. I
Speaker 1: think he needs a bounce back year. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're a dominant team. I don't think they're a super
Speaker 1: Bowl contender, but I think they can get to ten wins.
Speaker 1: So I'm and I'm getting plus money on it theoretically,
Speaker 1: even though I'm not betting it. So I'm a slight
Speaker 1: over for the Houston Texans. You were very high on
Speaker 1: the Texans last year to Monsey. Have you cooled a bit?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about CJ and Houston?
Speaker 2: I thought CJ was kind of dealing with some shoulder stuff, yes,
Speaker 2: earlier this offseason over over nine and a half. I'm
Speaker 2: honestly gonna go under nine and a half. I just
Speaker 2: don't want them to do that. I've got a bet,
Speaker 2: but I probably can't disclose now, I know. But yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Was just oh one of your bets that you're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about on Thursday. Yeah, okay, all right, but I.
Speaker 2: Mean they wait to go over. But yeah, the defense
Speaker 2: is nice, honestly, Like, logically, i'd say over six nine
Speaker 2: and a half is a little low for the Texans, but.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're going with your I understand, and nine
Speaker 1: and a half is not necessarily low for the Texans.
Speaker 1: Like I I think that's I think it's a fair number.
Speaker 1: The next team listed, it's the Indianapolis Colts. Their number
Speaker 1: is seven and a half. It is the same slight
Speaker 1: juice minus one thirty on the under. And this is
Speaker 1: a bet, and this is a bet that I love,
Speaker 1: and I am taking the under on the Colts. I
Speaker 1: am so dismayed by how they continue to handle the
Speaker 1: quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: How do they not get on the over under?
Speaker 1: Well, because Stiken always finds a way to win games.
Speaker 1: Like where they do deserve credit is they rarely bottom out? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they they so screwed. They last year they
Speaker 1: won eight games, the year before they won nine games,
Speaker 1: the year before that they won they won four or
Speaker 1: that's how they ended up drafting Richardson. But then before
Speaker 1: that nine eleven, seven, ten, like you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: they have been an under stich and they've been they've
Speaker 1: been in the mix. I think that ends this year.
Speaker 1: I do not like their weapons, I do not like
Speaker 1: their defense, I do not like Daniel Jones. And I
Speaker 1: think it is on the board that the Cults are
Speaker 1: the worst team in the league. I think that's possible.
Speaker 1: I think that there's let me put it like this,
Speaker 1: there there aren't If we did a worst team in
Speaker 1: the league draft, there wouldn't be five teams I would
Speaker 1: take before him and the.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The the other piece of it is, listen, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to act like I think Anthony Richardson's going to
Speaker 1: be good. I don't. My best would be He's never good.
Speaker 1: I also, though, think if you take a player that
Speaker 1: raw fourth overall and he's has less than one season's
Speaker 1: worth of starts, and you throw in the towel for
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones after Daniel Jones has a mediocre at best preseason,
Speaker 1: I just think that process is so backwards that you
Speaker 1: should not be rewarded for it. And I think that
Speaker 1: they are going to have a very very difficult season
Speaker 1: and Daniel, you know, wonders if they start slow, should
Speaker 1: they trade Jonathan Taylor? I don't. I'm I'm also not
Speaker 1: sure Jonathan Taylor at this point will be as you know,
Speaker 1: continue to be as good as he's been. I just
Speaker 1: I do not believe in this team. They are a
Speaker 1: heavy under for me. I think that number their win
Speaker 1: total should have been six and a half, and I
Speaker 1: still probably would have taken the under at seven and
Speaker 1: a half. I love the under almost as much as
Speaker 1: I love this over. We are so back, We are
Speaker 1: so so back. Jags over seven and a half minus
Speaker 1: one twenty five. Oh my god, I love it. I
Speaker 1: love it so much better. Coach two legit receiving threats,
Speaker 1: a real commitment this offseason. I felt to getting some
Speaker 1: of the fundamental things that were wrong with the team
Speaker 1: last year, most notably the lines better. I think Travis
Speaker 1: Hunter is going to make a legitimate and quick impact.
Speaker 1: I think that the two new offensive linemen are significant.
Speaker 1: I don't mind that they lost Kirk and Gabe Davis
Speaker 1: because I didn't think those guys were substantial players for them.
Speaker 1: And I just think that Trevor also understands this is
Speaker 1: the last year anyone cares about where he was drafted.
Speaker 1: And the fact that I can they could be below
Speaker 1: five hundred and I win this bet is just remarkable
Speaker 1: to me, And so Jaggs over seven and a half
Speaker 1: at minus one twenty five. I am all over that one, buddy,
Speaker 1: I am all over that one. Do you think I'm crazy?
Speaker 2: I think the train will was off.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I think that this this has got to be the year.
Speaker 2: It's got to be the year for Trevor.
Speaker 1: Well, I would one would. If it's not. Listen, if
Speaker 1: it's not this year, then if it's not this year,
Speaker 1: then I just have to admit defeat. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: be done, you know what I mean the five years
Speaker 1: and if it's not this year, I have to admit
Speaker 1: defeat and last one Titans over under six and a
Speaker 1: half plus one ten on the over, minus one thirty
Speaker 1: on the under. It it feels like a slight slight,
Speaker 1: slight under. I'm my hesitancy is as bad as I
Speaker 1: think the Colts are gonna be. Do I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna get two wins against the Colts and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know what I mean, you're right there.
Speaker 1: But even if you believe in cam Ward, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I believe in the coach. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I believe in the infrastructure of the team. It
Speaker 1: also feels like a six and eleven season would be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: step in the right direction and that would still be
Speaker 1: an under, so slim margin. I'm an under for the Titans.
Speaker 1: Now to my division that I'm all over, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: absolutely all over the AFC West. The Denver Broncos nine
Speaker 1: and a half. Never has a team that last year
Speaker 1: beat two quarterbacks all year that are currently starters in
Speaker 1: the league, went zero to seven in its games against
Speaker 1: playoff teams, unless you include beating the Chiefs backups as
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Gotten this much preseason smoke, under nine
Speaker 1: and a half gets me plus one ten. I think
Speaker 1: it is more than on the board that this team
Speaker 1: goes seven and ten. They are more let me put
Speaker 1: it like this, they are more likely to go seven
Speaker 1: and ten than ten and seven. I will take the
Speaker 1: Broncos and fading bow Knicks, who again was good last year.
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that he was good last year. I
Speaker 1: do doubt that he is going to have similar success
Speaker 1: this year. I will take that and I and here's
Speaker 1: the thing that I say on the front end of
Speaker 1: that demanse. They start the year off with four straight
Speaker 1: games against teams I don't really believe in. I think
Speaker 1: there is going to be a lot of Broncos, folks.
Speaker 1: I'm planning my flag on this. I think there is
Speaker 1: a chance the Broncos start like four and two, and
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with a lot of chirping because they go Titans, Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Eagles,
Speaker 1: really tough, Jets, Giants, Cowboys. How many games is that
Speaker 1: was that?
Speaker 2: Eight?
Speaker 1: That's eight games? So I think they you know what,
Speaker 1: I think they might be able to even start six
Speaker 1: and two. Don't care?
Speaker 2: Is this Sean Pete? I think year? Is this the second?
Speaker 1: Third year? Year? Third year?
Speaker 2: You don't believe? You don't think that. I mean, the
Speaker 2: Bicks just connected, they got they got ten wins last year.
Speaker 2: You're that confident in the under on the nine and
Speaker 2: a half that like, I've seen some good Bonix in
Speaker 2: the preseason.
Speaker 1: Everybody listen, everybody loves him, I get it. And everybody
Speaker 1: loves Sean Payton. Everybody loves Sean Payton almost as much
Speaker 1: as Sean Payton loves Sean Payton. I I think they
Speaker 1: could start the year off quite strong and then come
Speaker 1: November when it goes Texans, Raiders, Chiefs, Commanders, Raiders, Packers, Jaguars, Chiefs,
Speaker 1: Chargers a significant well, no, obviously not lose them all,
Speaker 1: but a significant down swing that leaves them under five
Speaker 1: hundred and on the outside looking in on the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves the Broncos this year, but me and they
Speaker 1: better start off super strong. But I am here saying
Speaker 1: I expect de Mons, a big topic in September and
Speaker 1: October on the show, to potentially be Nick ready to
Speaker 1: admit you were wrong about the Broncos. And when I
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, no, I am not. Now to the
Speaker 1: easiest bet every single year, the Chiefs hitting there over
Speaker 1: under Andy Reid. It has failed to happen one time,
Speaker 1: and they made up for it that year by winning
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The Chiefs win total getting even money
Speaker 1: over eleven and a half wins. That's an easy one.
Speaker 1: I will take over eleven and a half every day
Speaker 1: with Kansas City. Twelve and five would disappoint me. I
Speaker 1: expect thirteen and four or better. They are not going
Speaker 1: eleven and six Chiefs. We don't need to spend more
Speaker 1: time on it. Everyone knew I was going Chiefs over
Speaker 1: because it is the right bet. I am going over
Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs, and there is that. Now
Speaker 1: to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders total is six
Speaker 1: and a half. It is minus one forty five on
Speaker 1: the over. I like Gino, I love Pete Carroll. I
Speaker 1: believe in the Raiders. I am going over with the
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. It is six and a half. I
Speaker 1: think the schedule is soft. I think Genti will be
Speaker 1: a force. I think brock Bowers is going to have
Speaker 1: the best statistical season of any tight end. I believe
Speaker 1: in the Oakland Raiders one hundred percent. As far as
Speaker 1: being able to win seven games, I think they can
Speaker 1: do better than that, and we'll talk more about that
Speaker 1: on Thursday show. But I am in on the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Any objections there to Monts.
Speaker 2: I like the Raiders too this year with all the
Speaker 2: new stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then last but not least, the Chargers numbers nine
Speaker 1: and a half. This number, to me is just about correct.
Speaker 1: I will lean under, but it is not a bet.
Speaker 1: I think they probably go nine and eight and just
Speaker 1: miss out on the playoffs. But it's a lean under
Speaker 1: on the Chargers. The Rashaun Slater injury is enough to
Speaker 1: tip me over to the underside if I had em
Speaker 1: at ten wins before. So to recap, we have the
Speaker 1: Jags over seven and a half, the Chiefs over eleven
Speaker 1: and a half, the Raiders over six and a half.
Speaker 1: We have the Bengals under nine and a half, the
Speaker 1: Colts under seven and a half, the Broncos under nine
Speaker 1: and a half. Thursday, we will do the NFC. We
Speaker 1: will do our make miss playoff bets. We'll do our
Speaker 1: division winners, the Super Bowl EXACTA and Demand's top five bets,
Speaker 1: which were again plus nine units on five one unit
Speaker 1: bets last year. One of the more underrated features of
Speaker 1: our show last season. It's a great show. I have
Speaker 1: to run. Save our questions from today's show for Thursday.
Speaker 1: I have to go. We are late for everything. I
Speaker 1: can't believe football's finally here. Like great, subscribe review, do
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Talk to you guys soon. Thank you
Speaker 1: to Volume, DraftKings, Blue Duck, Boost, Mobile, Seat Geek, and
