1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire player, It's me Jason McIntyre, 3 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: Straight Fi here for Friday shep December, the fifth and 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: the first NFL game of the season is in the books. 5 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: It was a crazy, freaking game between the spitting incident 6 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: to start things, then there was a lightning delay, and 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: then there was no points after the lightning. Just a 8 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: crazy game. You had one of the best receivers in 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 2: the league with I thought three drops, but it looks 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: like he's being credited for four. We're recording this twelve 11 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: thirty Eastern time. Right after the game. I told Robgie, 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 2: I'm fired up. Let's go. Let's get this thing cooking. 13 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: We will have Are you ready for this eleven minutes 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: of best bets? Yeah, that's probably too much college football 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: and NFL. At the end of the pod, we'll get 16 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: it that some bets obviously miss a full game. Eagles 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: were six and a half, seven, eight, whatever it was. 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: Bernie Freda with a nice hit. He called it yesterday 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: getting the eight. Depending on how you feel Eagles should 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: have covered or Cowboy should have won this outright, I mean, 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: this game was crazy. All the teasers legs got home, 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: thank you, and me and my boy have five survivor 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: entries in a survivor contest here in the South Bay. 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: I think the winner gets like one hundred and eighty k. 25 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: I don't the numbers are. I've never entered it, but 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: I'm in with him. And then you know, I got 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: in on the David Baker. I'm not allowed to reveal 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 2: our pick just because you know one hundred thousand dollars 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: buy in. He's like, hey, you gotta be sworn a secrecy. 30 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: I'm like fine. That being said, let's dive right in Dallas, 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: has a chance, has multiple chances to take down the 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: Super Bowl champs, and cannot get it done. Eagles survive 33 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: and it was a survive twenty four to twenty. Neither 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: side looked great after the lightning delay was about an 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: hour in total, it was like thirty to forty five. 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: And then they come back and they got a warm up. 37 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: But it was clear afterward that the delay just screwed everyone. 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: I know some people in fantasy are really upset. AJ 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: Brown one target, one catch, eight yards and it was 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: like on the final drive for the Eagles. It was 41 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: the Jalen Hurts Show. Basically Saquon Barkley held to sixty yards. 42 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: The Eagles had are you ready for this? Two plays 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: that were explosive plays in the entire game, and they 44 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: were by Will Shipley, who did not find the end zone. 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: My prop bet it looked like on their first drive, 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: he's getting work. I was like, oh my gosh, Will Shipley, 47 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: he's getting He got three carries twenty six yards. He 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: didn't really do much in the second half. They trusted 49 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: Saquan but he had a twenty yard carry and then 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: the fifty one yard passed to Johan Dotson. Yes he's alive, folks. 51 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles had one reception over ten yards. That 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: is alarming. That's I mean, that's crazy. And it was 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: basically the Jalen Hurts show, and that's unsustainable. You cannot 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: do that all season. But it doesn't matter. All they 55 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: needed was the win. Here they get it twenty four 56 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: to twenty. It almost felt like rob this was more 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: about the Cowboys, because I'm not gonna lie. They look 58 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: pretty damn good. But how can you make it about 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: the Cowboys? When the spitting incident happened before the first 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: offensive step, and I thought that changed a complexion of 61 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: the game completely. So let's see it up here. Opening kickoff, 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: a guy on the Eagles special teams gets hurt. It 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: looked like an acl or achilles. I don't know. I 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: Rob has an update on that. Maybe maybe he does. 65 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. But he goes down in that 66 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: little break Dak Prescott, and we didn't see this view 67 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: until the lightning delay. For the longest time, it was like, 68 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Jalen Carter spit on Dak Prescott. That's 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: a fact. But when they were coming back from the 70 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: lightning delay, NBC, because there's seventy five million cameras at 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: the game, has a view of Dak Prescott look king 72 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: in the direction of Jalen Carter. Now Jalen Carter is 73 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: still at that point, like seven or eight yards away. 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: He spits on the ground in the direction of Carter. 75 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: Carter steps forward and is like, did you spit on me? 76 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: And you see Dak smile and pick his head up. Now, 77 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, by all accounts, is a good dude. Okay, 78 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: he's been a model citizen in the NFL. I know 79 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: he had the DUI before the draft, but it's hard 80 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: for me to believe Dak Prescott like had the intention 81 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 2: of trying to spit at Jalen Carter. He did spit 82 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: in his direction. That's you can't, it's inarguable. So Carter 83 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: steps forward and according to Jason Garrett for NBC, Carter said, 84 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: did you spit at me? And Dak allegedly told Carter 85 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: Jason Garrett, why would I spit at you? And that's 86 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: when Jalen Carter spat on his chest right in front 87 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: the referee. You guys know how it works in a fight. This, 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: You know, the first guy who throws the punch gets 89 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: away with it. Second he always gets in trouble. That's 90 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: in school. That's like an obvious, obvious thing. But this 91 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 2: is gonna be This is gonna be argued throughout the 92 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: weekend and probably until Monday. Rob who casts the first stone? Again? 93 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: When Dak Prescott told Jason Garrett that I said, why 94 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: would I spit at you? But in that video I 95 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: don't see Dak saying why would I spit at you? 96 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: And I watched it I recorded on my phone. Dak 97 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: spits in the direction of Carter. Carter starts walking toward him, 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: Dak little grin and then he gave the head nod 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: up like, I don't know what that's about. Maybe it's 100 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: just like two competitors. I didn't see Rob him saying 101 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: why would I spit at you? He didn't put his 102 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: arms up like why would I spit at you? You know, 103 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: like when you're asking a question to someone. But listen, 104 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 2: I'm not saying Dak was in the wrong. Clearly, Jalen 105 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: Carter was in the wrong. That's on. You don't walk 106 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: into someone and spit on them. That's freaking stupid. I 107 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 2: would guess he'll get a suspension next week, that's my guess. 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: But as soon as he went out, just clear sailing 109 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: for Javonte Williams up the middle. He had two touchdown runs. 110 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: Miles Sanders breaks off a big run like they were 111 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: able to run one hundred nineteen yards on the ground, 112 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: and like, Jalen Carter, you've got to be better, bro. 113 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: However I do, I'm gonna ask it. I don't know 114 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: the answer. But looking at the video, Rob, in my opinion, 115 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: Dak kind of sort of baited him again. Just on 116 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: that video. Do you think Dak instigated it or listen, 117 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: we obviously know Carters to blame I'm not arguing that, 118 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: but I'm wondering. My question to you, Rob, is Dak's 119 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: role in this? What do you say? 120 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I I think it's a stretch to say 121 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: that Dak instigated it because Dak Prescott is one of 122 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 3: those guys who has a reputation for being, as you mentioned, 123 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: a good dude, and he seems to be a stand 124 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: up citizen. He seems to be a well respected player 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: unless you're Michael Parsons here listing a top ten quarterback. 126 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: Last thingk and leave him off the list. 127 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: But other than that, everybody only seems to have good 128 00:06:59,000 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: things to say about Dak. 129 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: Press. 130 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: One thing he does have going for him that I 131 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: guess what do you call it? 132 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 4: Negative? And when I've said on this podcast. 133 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: Is he is one of the most sweaty qb ones 134 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: in the in the NFL, and I've talked about this 135 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: is one reason why I don't try Actually, yes, like 136 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: you watch him play and then again, this is an 137 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: inexact science. But I've said on this podcast before one 138 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: reason why I've never trusted Dak Prescott in big games 139 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: or big moments is because when he's out there, he 140 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: is dripping sweat all the time when he plays, and 141 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: that is a direct inverse to guys like Patrick Mahomes, 142 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, where it's like, no matter if 143 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: they're up, ten, down, ten, two minutes to go, two 144 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: quarters to go, they are bone dry, cool as a cucumber. 145 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: And Dak Prescott is just always sweating so much that 146 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: it's like he must be feeling the heat in some 147 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: kind of way. So I can't trust him. And that's 148 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: a long way a way of saying, is he seems 149 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: like a guy who you know. I again, just in 150 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: that video, he's lathered up, he's excited, he's ready to go, 151 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: and he kind of just spits at the ground. And 152 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: Jalen Carter, I know that he is a fantastic player, 153 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: but there were character concerns about him coming out of college. 154 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: So it's not crazy to think that Jalen Carter may 155 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: have misinterpreted that or taken it some kind of way 156 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: and took it to a level that he absolutely did 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: not need to go to. And but yeah, long about 158 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: saying I don't think Dak instigated it. 159 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, okay, fair enough, I'm not blaming Dak, but 160 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 2: it's you could see in the video he spits in 161 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: the direction of the Eagles. Now I don't think he's 162 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: spitting at Jalen Carter, but he's looking in his direction. 163 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: I it's just very difficult. I'm not again, Dak is 164 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: a good guy. Uh. That being said, so, I just 165 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: I would say that I don't want to make sweeping 166 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: conclusions here, Rob, But to me, it looked like the 167 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: Cowboys were ill prepared defensive for the pivotal third and three. 168 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 2: They go empty. The Eagles clearly couldn't do the tush 169 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: push because Landon Dickerson was hurt. Right, They did it earlier, 170 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: I think two or three times and it was successful. 171 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: And then it's third and three, game on the line. Okay, 172 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: they go empty backfield, Rob, I have never played a 173 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 2: snap of tackle football for a school in my life. 174 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: I'm watching at home, along with probably, I don't know, 175 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 2: twenty million other people. I'm assuming everybody said, bro, it's 176 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 2: gonna be a Jalen Hurts keeper. Everybody knew what was coming, 177 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurts still pulled it off. Hurts for the game, 178 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: by the way, fourteen carries sixty two yards. He only 179 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: threw for a buck fifty two nineteen of twenty three. 180 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: Very efficient. This is why to me, remember I said 181 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 2: he was the most he was the best dual threat 182 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: quarterback in the league. Like, yeah, josh Allen could do that. 183 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if Josh Allen has the tush push 184 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: in him, but to me, Hurts singularly won that game 185 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: for the Eagles, who, by the by the way, they 186 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: had at least four attempts at batted balls drop balls 187 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: that they could have intercepted, and they got none of them. 188 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: Quinjon Mitchell, the awesome corner, had one in his hands 189 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: with like three minutes left on the sideline that would 190 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: have viced the game, could not snag it in and 191 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: that ultimately Dallas had one final chance. I thought Jalen 192 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: Hurts was excellent. I do want to ask one more question, 193 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: Rob so Ceedee Lamb is I gotta call it up again, 194 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: but it looks like CD Lamb is going to be 195 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: the third highest paid wide receiver in the league on 196 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: an annual basis at thirty four mil. Jamar Chases first, 197 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: then Justin Jefferson, then CD Lamb. That's according to the 198 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: spot track. Ceed Lamb had a really good game. Seven catches, 199 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten yards, he was just eating him up. 200 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: But the drops are going to be the story. And 201 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: then he had the pivotal drop on fourth and what 202 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: was it, fourth and ten, fourth and seven, something like that. 203 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: Fourth and seven. It was a great route. He cooked 204 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: a blanket ship in a matchup that the Cowboys wo 205 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: take ten out of ten times. It was a great 206 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: pass by Dak Lamb, full extension, gets both hands on 207 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: it and cannot reel it. Now, I'm not there to 208 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: kill ceedee Lamb. I'm not gonna crush him, but if 209 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: you're making thirty four million dollars a year, you must 210 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: catch that pass. And I know that was a hard ball. 211 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: And Chris Collinsworth was excusing again on the on the call, 212 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: he was like, well, I'm not gonna call that a drop. 213 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: What the hell are you talking about, collins with your receiver, 214 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: you're picking up for your brethren. He got both hands 215 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: on it. And if he's the third highest paid wide 216 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: receiver in the league, you catch at football. And you know, 217 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: Lamb was obviously very upset. He went of the injury 218 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: tent after that, probably because he was just fricking pissed 219 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: at himself. And I don't I don't know if he 220 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: catches that, you know, Cowboys cowboy. I thought the Cowboys 221 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: are gonna win the game. Rub when they got two 222 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: chances in the fourth and the Eagles could not put 223 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: them away, I was like, I think Dallas. Now I'm 224 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 2: very negative when it comes to this kind of thing. 225 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 226 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: the nation.

In fact, 232 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: it was perfect. It was in the outstretched arms of 233 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: lam No defender could get to it. I thought it 234 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: was a great pass, and that's a drop by Lamb. 235 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was absolutely a drop one thousand percent, and 236 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 3: not just because of the caliber receiver that CD Lamb is, 237 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: Like you expect the guy who's paid like that shit 238 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: Makos kind of catches regularly, like routinely. That should be 239 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: something that's in your arsenal at all times. Secondly, the 240 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 3: reality is the gloves these guys wear have so much 241 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: tack and are so sticky that if anything touches your fingertips, 242 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: it should be a catch. 243 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 4: In the NFL period, Like I know enough. 244 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: Former NFL players, you know a lot as well, and 245 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 3: they'll tell you, Hey, the gloves these guys have now 246 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: and when they clap their hands for break, they got 247 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 3: to pull them apart because that's how much tack there is. 248 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: So ceed Lamb has to catch that. And and I 249 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: don't want to, you know, overreact. It is one game, 250 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 3: even though it was an Island Games, everybody was watching it. 251 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: But I've always been of the belief that CD Lamb's 252 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: production does not match CD Lamb the player. I have 253 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: never viewed CD Lamb as one of the upper elite 254 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: wide receivers in the NFL. 255 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: Wait, you don't have him in the Chase Jefferson. 256 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: Category, not even a little bit. 257 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: Wo Now, hold on, wait twenty twenty three, one hundred 258 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: and thirty five catches on one hundred and eighty one targets, 259 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: seventeen hundred yards, twelve touchdowns. 260 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: Oh my god, Yeah, I mean that was that was 261 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: an incredible season. And and Dak Prescott, to his credit, 262 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 3: was peppering him. You know, year and year are basically 263 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: for since his second season, he's been the number one 264 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 3: option there in Dallas, and a lot of it was. 265 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 3: And we talked about if you're a P one listener 266 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: to the pot, you'll remember that a lot of his catches, 267 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: especially the first two three even went into his fourth 268 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: year in the NFL where him in the slot that 269 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: he was not outside out wide like the prototypical number 270 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 3: one receiver is, and that's where he was doing a 271 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: lot of his damage. Eventually he moved past that, he evolved, 272 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: he became more of an outside threat. And it's not 273 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 3: to say he's not a very good receiver, say he's 274 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: not a Pro Bowl receiver. But again this is anecdotal, 275 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: But CD Lamb, when is the last time you remember 276 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: him making a big catch? This sounds very Rob Parker review. No, 277 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: I'm not trying to like pile on anything like that. Again, 278 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: it was one game, but I feel like, and if 279 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: somebody has stats to prove me wrong, I would love 280 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: to see him. But the last time I remember seeing 281 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: CD Lamb in a big game was in a playoff 282 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: game about a year and a half ago against the Packers, 283 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: and the very first drive, third down hits him right 284 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: in the hands, drop right and if you look at 285 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: Pro Football Reference and it lists his advanced stats and 286 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: his joy on everything like that. Okay, cd Lamb not 287 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: counting tonight obviously, But through the first five years of 288 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 3: his NFL career in the regular season, is credited with 289 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: thirty five drops. 290 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 4: Okay, wow. 291 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: In four playoff games, he's credited with five drops, all 292 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: right on the flip side. And this is the guy 293 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: who I believe is the gold standard when it comes 294 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: to playing red receiver in the NFL today. You don't 295 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: how many drops Justin Jefferson has had through the first 296 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 3: five years of NFL career. 297 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: I'll go with you, said, cdee Lamb had thirty three five. 298 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: I'll go with Jefferson with twenty twenty exactly. No, wow, 299 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: I did not look. 300 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: Do you know how many he's had in the postseed 301 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: now he's only played the two playoff games? 302 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,359 Speaker 4: How many? It has probably just zero? Right, Justin Jefferson 303 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: is the guy. 304 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: And I can give you a laundry list of plays where, hey, 305 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: we gotta have it on the road in Buffalo, Kirk 306 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: Cousins Yolo somewhere, JJ's down there. I'm gonna throw it 307 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 3: up and he comes down between four defenders and brings 308 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: it down with one hand, and CD Lamb, in my opinion, 309 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: again anecdotal, there are way too many instances in the 310 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: gotta have him moments where he just doesn't come up 311 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: with the big play that you need, and in this 312 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 3: case last night, it happened multiple times. 313 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, that's a tough on because I'm looking 314 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: at the playoff game log against it and that Packers 315 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: beat down seventeen targets. Now they were playing catch up, 316 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: but I think it was twenty eight to nothing nine 317 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: for a buck ten in that tough loss at Sanfray, 318 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: and he had ten catches one hundred and seventeen, I mean, 319 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: one touchdown in four playoff games. Okay, I guess this 320 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: is one of those where Cowboys fans are gonna walk away. 321 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: This would be if I was a Cowboys fan, I 322 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: was really pissed. I'd be like, bro, we paid CD 323 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: Lamb all this money and we traded away Michael Parsons, 324 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: and what happens to us when we face the Eagles? 325 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: We got nobody, nobody to contain Jalen Hurts. I mean, 326 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: he was Jalen Hurts was just every pivotal play. It 327 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 2: felt like he just scrambled for whatever he want. And 328 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: I don't know if the announcers even referenced the lack 329 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: of Michael Parsons there, but it was clear. I thought 330 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: that they missed him against Jalen Hurts, a running quarterback, 331 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: because you know, Parsons is gonna get you off your 332 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: spot and he's also gonna chase you down. Michael Parsons 333 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 2: is an animal. Cowboys have to face some more running quarterbacks. 334 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: Rob Russell Wilson if he's still considered running. Caleb Williams 335 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: is very running, very running, Jordan Love justin fields, Jaden 336 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: Daniels twice, Kyler Murray. This could be a problem from 337 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: a gambling sandpoint, I will be looking to bet quarterback 338 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 2: rushing overs against Dallas because they don't seem to know 339 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 2: how to defend them. They don't, I mean, without Michael 340 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: Parsons there, I felt like that defensive line was toothless. 341 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: The Eagles rushed thirty eight times for about fifty eight 342 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: that's they just kind of had their way on the ground, 343 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: but the rest of the game was mostly even. Listen, 344 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: if Miles Sanders doesn't fumble in the red zone and 345 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: and Cde Lamb doesn't have four drops Cowboys winning this right. 346 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 3: Rub Yeah, and actually you brought it up right at 347 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: the top of the pod. Is watching that game, I 348 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 3: came away, as you said, more impressed with Dallas than 349 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 3: I was with Philly, even though Philly got the win, 350 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: because I was expecting, like a lot of people for 351 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 3: Dallas too, especially after the Micah Parsons fiasco. Maybe they 352 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: cover the spread, but it's a backboard cover, right, like may, 353 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: they're never. 354 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: Really in it. 355 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 3: They're down early, they're playing catchup, and that's kind of 356 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 3: what happens. But no, they came out and they kicked 357 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 3: Philly in the mouth early and often they're in that 358 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: first half, Dak Prescott looked like it was twenty twenty 359 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: three Dak all over again where he was second team 360 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 3: All Pro MVP candidate. And that offensive line, the young 361 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: offensive line really came together. They're manhandling the Eagles up 362 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 3: front with no Jalen Carter. And however, to your point, 363 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, who is the most disrespected Super. 364 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 4: Bowl MVP in my recent memory. 365 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: Yep, you know, all he does is make winning play 366 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: after winning play after winning play. Like you mentioned, the 367 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: passing yards were not great, but when you're nineteen of 368 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: twenty three. You know when you're consistently moving the chains. 369 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 3: You know when you're the leading rusher on your team 370 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 3: that has Saquon Barkley on it. Like that last play 371 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: on the was the third down right to steal the game. 372 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 3: Chris collins Worth that everybody in America on TV is like, oh, 373 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: they're going empty. Jalen Hurts is going to run this football. 374 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: We all know it's coming. Good luck trying to stop it. 375 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 3: And what happens. Jalen Hurts needs three, gets you four 376 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: and a half ball game. Like that's what he does. 377 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 3: It's not always going to be flashy, it's not always 378 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 3: going to be the most prolific because he's not that 379 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: kind of He's not Lamar Jackson, he's not Josh Allen. 380 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 3: But what he does is make winning plays at the 381 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 3: biggest moments, game after game after game after game. 382 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 4: And yeah, he's he's really. 383 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 2: Good, special talent. I'll just add this. I don't want 384 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 2: to again. Week one. You don'tant to overreact. The Eagles 385 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: had nine penalties for a hum buck ten. I felt 386 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: like two of those were on long like third and fifteen, 387 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: plus there was a PI on Pickens, and there was 388 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: the in the end zone. It questionable call that it 389 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: lengthened drives, although I think Sanders fumbled like two plays 390 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: after one of those. Eagles were kind of sloppy defensively. 391 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: And I gotta ask Rob, like, if Jalen Carter doesn't 392 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 2: spit on Dak Prescott like a fool and plays the 393 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: whole game, is there a world where the Eagles pass 394 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 2: rush up the middle. Nolan Smith had a really good 395 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 2: game off the edge. He wasn't living in the back 396 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: of He had one dumb penalty that I didn't like, 397 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: the taunting one, but he was a he was wrecking things. 398 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: And if all of a sudden Jalen Carter plays that game, 399 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: is this more of an Eagles comfortably? So? Are we 400 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: overreacting to Dallas beating the Eagles without Jalen Carter. I 401 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: that's one of those I don't know, and there's no 402 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 2: right we don't know the answer. 403 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: It's hard to say that only becausebviously the game flow 404 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: would be different. You maybe you don't get as much 405 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 3: Davonte Williams in that first half, and maybe Dak is 406 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 3: slinging it more over the yard early and often. But 407 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: one thing you have to consider in a game like that, 408 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 3: even when a guy is knocked out, is every game 409 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 3: tells a different story. Like you can't just assume, Hey, 410 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 3: if so and so was there, this is a different thing. 411 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 3: And it's like, how do we know that instead of 412 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 3: Javontai Williams getting two rushing touchdowns, it's Jake Ferguson catching one, 413 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: it's you know, CD, maybe he doesn't drop four because 414 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 3: he's more involved early in the game. And with that 415 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: in mind, if Jalen Carter plays, obviously a different game. 416 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 3: But if you're Philadelphia, if Jalen Carter plays, is that 417 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: help you get the ball to aj Brown Moore? Because like, ultimately, 418 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,239 Speaker 3: I don't think that Philadelphia, as great as they are 419 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 3: running the football, I don't think you're gonna blow teams 420 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: out of the water without some threat of a passing game, 421 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And they just that's not 422 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 3: really high on their priority list. 423 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: Already cares about fantasy. But I was facing Saquon and 424 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: Javonte Williams. I guarantee you Javonte does not score twenty 425 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: fantasy points again the season. I'm almost certain of it, 426 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: all right, without further ado, let's get to best bets 427 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: for the NFL Week one and low college football as well. 428 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 429 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: the nation.

The only thing better than sitting on your 432 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: couch watching the games is making money while you do it. 433 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: Here's your best bet. 434 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to best bets for Week one 435 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: in the NFL and Week two in college football. I 436 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: still can't believe they call it week zero. 437 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 4: Kind of dumb. 438 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: Well, buzz through college first, because it's not a great weekend. 439 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: The game of the weekend in college football is Michigan 440 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: at Choklahoma. Apologies to my my buddy, son of my 441 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: son are friends and he went he's like the biggest 442 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: Oklahoma fan I know, like, listens to Oklahoma radio at 443 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 2: his house. Very smart guy. I don't want to go 444 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: against his sooners and back mister Underwood on the road, 445 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna take the five. It's kind of 446 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: a dead number. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that 447 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: Michigan is probably not as good as we saw last week. 448 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: But I don't know if Oklahoma is either I am. 449 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: The last time Oklahoma had a big game at home, 450 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 2: I feel like Jalen Milroe was bottled up and looked really, 451 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: really bad. So there's a world where they just confound 452 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: Underwood but a small bite of Michigan plus five. I 453 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 2: am on Pitt minus twenty one. I am and this 454 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: is simply a reaction to what I saw Monday night. 455 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: So Bill Belichick, on a short week after getting blasted, 456 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: now has to go on the road to Charlotte, and 457 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: somehow North Carolina is a fifteen and a half point favorite. Now, 458 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: if you watched any North Carolina and thought, oh there's 459 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: something here, go ahead, you know, don't bet this game. 460 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: But I looked at that team and they might have 461 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: a quarterback controversy. The defense is terrible, and now they 462 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: have to go on the road on a short week 463 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: against Charlotte. I'm not saying Charlotte's good, but going on 464 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: the road on a short week after getting decimated humiliated. 465 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 2: Stadium was half empty midway through the third quarter. I'm 466 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: sorry I took the fifteen and a half. I am 467 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 2: on Clemson minus thirty one and a half. I do 468 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 2: not like it. They killed me last week against LSU. 469 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 2: But and we'll see this in a second. It's just 470 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: a bounce back. It's just a spot play Dabo Dabbo, 471 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 2: however you say it, I don't know how to say it. 472 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: I don't know any humans named Dabbo except for Dabbo Sweeney. Anyways, 473 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: he was talking a lot of mess after that LSU game. 474 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 2: He's gonna rally his troops and say, hey, the season 475 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: is not over. We're in this. Let's go destroy whoever. 476 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: We're playing Clemson minus thirty one and a half. I'm 477 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: on Cincy minus twenty and a half. That comes from 478 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: a friend who is somewhat plugged into the Bearcat's program. 479 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: He thinks this is a smash spot. And finally, my boy, 480 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: who is a big college football guy, he is I 481 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: don't know if he's friends with Brad Powers, but he 482 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: is telling me you must take Texas minus thirty six 483 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: and a half. So I'm doing it now. Here's my 484 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: only issue. This is a noon game. I don't think 485 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a wild scene in Austin for a 486 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: twelve o'clock game against a bad team. And it's like, 487 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: is a stadium gonna be full? Is anybody gonna be 488 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 2: juiced up to watch arch Manning throttle San Jose State. 489 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 2: I doubt it, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I'll 490 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 2: take Texas now. The other the last one is Oregon 491 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: minus twenty eight against Oklahoma State. If you paid attention 492 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 2: earlier this week, Mike Gundy was running his mouth about 493 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 2: nil and Dan Lanning fired back, and I have a 494 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: feeling Dan Lanning could just put it on him. My 495 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 2: buddies from uh Philadelphia posted last on an ig this 496 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 2: old video of Buddy Ryan with the Eagles against the Cowboys, 497 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: and this is how bad it was. Essentially, Buddy Ryan 498 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: lined up to take a knee in victory formation right, 499 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 2: and then Randall Cunningham backed off center and threw a 500 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 2: bob with like ten seconds left. I would not be 501 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: shocked if Dan Lanning said, hey, I don't care my gun. 502 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: Are you gonna run your mouth? This is what we're doing. 503 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: And Oregon wins by a lot. Again, no significant place here. 504 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: It's college football Week two. The games are not great, 505 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: but let's move to the NFL, where the only caution 506 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: I will have is, guys, just try not to go overboard. 507 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: It does have a Christmas feel and on Christmas, you 508 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: like to go hog wild. You open every present, you 509 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 2: just go great, it's amazing. It's so easy to lose 510 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 2: your mind and your bank roll in week one because 511 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 2: you have some big feelings about lines that have been 512 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 2: out for months. And you also, oh, by the way, realize, 513 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 2: oh yeah, this uh, this team is as bad as 514 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 2: we think they are, and then all of a sudden 515 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: they're not. I just want to remind folks last year, 516 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: in the first two weeks, the New Orleans Saints looked 517 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 2: like world beaters. They were with the Kubiak system totally dominant, 518 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 2: and let me see what the scores of their first 519 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: two weeks were. But last week last season, after two weeks, 520 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: they were destroyed. Of the season. Okay, so they beat 521 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 2: the Panthers forty seven to ten in week one, You're like, 522 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, holy cow, this team is something. And 523 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 2: then they go and kick the Cowboys ass in Dallas 524 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: forty four to nineteen, and everybody's geeked. And then they 525 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 2: lost seven in a row and was like, ah, these 526 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: are okay, got it, these are the Saints. Wacky things 527 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: happen early. I saw a stat that in the last 528 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: six years, a significant underdog has been able to pull 529 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: off a big upset in Week one, whether it's the 530 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: Bengals losing. I think they lost to the Patriots. Bengals 531 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 2: have had a couple of the bad losses in there, 532 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: so just be careful that being said. And we just 533 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: watched the Eagles, so boy, that was I took a 534 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: nibble on the Chiefs SA Banus three in South Paulo 535 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 2: against the Chargers Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes September. Do I 536 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: need to say much more? And I know they lost 537 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: the lines a couple of years ago at home, guys, No, 538 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 2: Chris Jones and I don't think Kelsey played in that 539 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 2: one Chiefs Bonus three. I'm rooting Chargers, so that's an issue. 540 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 2: I don't like the Chiefs in my big money auction league. 541 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: I accidentally, well, I thought there was value. I got 542 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: Rashi Rice, I got Patrick Mahomes, and I think I 543 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: got Harrison Butker. So listen, you guys know I don't 544 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: love the Chiefs. But yeah, so anyways, let's see what 545 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: else I got here. Okay, the biggest play of the 546 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: weekend for me was the Rams Texans under forty four 547 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: bat at heavily a Wednesday and Thursday. Here's the problem. 548 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: It's down to forty three. But I don't think that's 549 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: a huge deal. So Matt Stafford took Zeroseason snaps he's 550 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: got the back injury. And if you look at last 551 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: year how the Rams ended the season, their defense was 552 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: so on fire. Meanwhile, they're facing a Texans front with 553 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: like a four new offensive line starters c J. Stroud 554 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: who was kicked around all of last year. I just 555 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: don't know how good this Houston offense is gonna be. 556 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: And so under forty four, I'm gonna look at the 557 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: first half under two in that one, I like Packers. 558 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: I have it minus two, minus two and a half. 559 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: I like the Packers in a teaser up to eight 560 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: or eight and a half. I just you could pair 561 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: it with the Broncos, you could pair it with the Falcons. 562 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: But I irrationally like the Packers, and I'm sure maybe they, 563 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 2: you know, get embarrassed again. The Lions have had their 564 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: number last three seasons Detroit five and one against the Packers. 565 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: I just think the Lions are falling off. I know 566 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: some people are not gonna to hear that. Give me 567 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: the Packers. I yes, I took a nibble on the 568 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 2: Browns plus five against Joe Burrow. As you heard yesterday 569 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: with Bernie Frado matchup, Browns are at home. There's a 570 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: lot of evidence in recent years that Burrow comes out 571 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: of the gate slow. You know, Denzel Ward is still 572 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: a not elite, but he's a very very good cornerback. 573 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 2: Bengals offensive line stinks, Bengals defense stinks. I don't see 574 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: why this can't be close, guys, I don't and a 575 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: great staff for my guy t A. The Bengals team 576 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: total has gone under in the last six meetings with 577 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 2: the Browns by eight points per game. So for whatever reason, 578 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz really has a dialed in against Burrow and 579 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: that and that, oh my gosh, Zach Taylor offense almost 580 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: forgot his name. Atlanta plus two, you know I like them. 581 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: I'm going with the Giants plus six. Yes, I know, 582 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: New York Giants grossed again. Go back to the yesterday's 583 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: pod for the lengthier breakdown on the divisional Dogs. I 584 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: have some props for you. These are not as sexy, 585 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 2: but I cannot wait to see will Micah Parsons have 586 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 2: a sack. I'm gonna bet it just for fun, I'm 587 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 2: gonna look at what's my hand? Oh, Mark Andrews against 588 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens. So you remember he dropped the huge 589 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 2: two point conversion last year against the Ravens. Do you 590 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 2: think that Lamar and company? Remember Mark Andrews took him 591 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: like weeks to speak about that defeat and he was cresfallen. 592 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 2: Do you think they're gonna try to force feet to 593 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 2: touchdown to Mark Andrews. I mean that just feels like 594 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: a layup. Okay, here it is New York Giants. I 595 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 2: haven't seen the number yet, but I'm gonna go first 596 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 2: half under on Giants Washington. I really do think that 597 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 2: Giants defense is going to be a shock to the system. 598 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 2: And I'll just remind you guys, and we talked about 599 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 2: it yesterday. Washington and the Giants played two close games 600 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: yesterday last season, so I don't see why this one 601 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 2: can also be very close the other games. I was, 602 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: oh for the contest, that's the last thing I wanted 603 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: to wrap So in the contest circa, I am looking 604 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: at Jacksonville. Did I mention I bet Jacksonville? Yeah, I 605 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: bet Jacksonville. Oh no, no, I did not because it's 606 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: up to three and a half. I missed it, so 607 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: I have not bet them. But I'm looking at Demon 608 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 2: Circa Browns and circa Denver. We'll see, I don't it 609 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: just might be too chalky. I mean, it just gets 610 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: you know. I feel like everybody who's in the circa 611 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: is gonna have Denver, and you just don't want to 612 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: be that guy that's never works out good. Green Bay 613 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: in the contest. Maybe Giants plus six Falcons, So I'm 614 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 2: looking at those six. We'll see what else emerges, but yeah, 615 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: it should be a good week one. I'll try to 616 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: maintain emotions. It's gonna be tough to keep them in check. 617 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 2: Dolphins Colts, I have nothing, but I'm looking at the 618 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: over just because you look at these defenses, they're quite bad. 619 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: But I just have no idea what to expect in 620 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 2: that game. It could be a forty one forty shootout. 621 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I just Miami. Everybody's down on them. Colts 622 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: have Daniel Jones a quarterback. Do I need to say 623 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: much more? And I guess the last one and you 624 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: know you don't want to go against Josh Allen too early. 625 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: But I just I'm thinking back to that regular season matchup, 626 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 2: and the Ravens look good and the look at the 627 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 2: Bills injuries. This defense is not really juiced up. I'm 628 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: a little worried about Buffalo, but if you want super 629 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 2: Bowl futures, Buffalo loses this game and then you maybe 630 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: add to your futures. The only problem with that is 631 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 2: this is a big one for home field advantage, and 632 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: I know there's a long way to go, but you know, 633 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: you get that early win in the conference and put 634 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 2: Baltimore behind the eight pall, everybody's gonna be chasing the Chiefs. 635 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 2: We know that. And if you can get home field 636 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: in Buffalo, I would love the Bills to get to 637 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: the super Bowl. All right, that's it for Week one. Gosh, guys, 638 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 2: I am so jacked. I will obviously have a Monster 639 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 2: Pod on Monday. We'll talk about it all. Enjoy the weekend.
