I pushed money around. I 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 2: mean I had a lot of great calls, beat every 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: line on the clothes, which was good. Had a couple 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: of blowout wins the Cardinals, the Saints, just never in doubt. 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: Unfortunately I had the Raivens under fifty one. I played 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: my one player prop of the year with Michael Gallop 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: over and he got hurt. 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 4: Bad beat.

You're gonna have bad beats go again, so 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: you cannot dwell and them. The good thing about football 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 2: is you, especially with the NFL, you have like three 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: or four days to just forget about it. You don't 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: have to come back that very next day and fire. 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: Like you know some other sports, you have to move on. 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: You have to accept that they're gonna happen. You have 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: to accept that you're gonna have two and seven days weeks. 34 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: You have to accept that you're gonna have seven and 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: two weeks. Doesn't mean that you're the greatest, better of 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: all time. Embrace the variants, yell about it a little 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: bit on Twitter event, and then move on. It's part 38 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: of the game. It's gonna happen. Now we're moving on 39 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: to weeks two and three, which are two of my 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: favorite in the entire regular season. 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 5: And I would say to your point about you know, 42 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 5: you can kind of forget about it for a few days, 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 5: but don't forget about those early lines that come out 44 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 5: like Sunday, because a lot of times there is value there, 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 5: So don't always check those lines out. 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 4: If you have the action Network app. 47 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 5: You'll be able to see all those if you follow 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 5: Stucky at Stucky two or me at Chris Raybond, you'll 49 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 5: be able to follow our bets in particular. So, and 50 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 5: that actually brings me to before we get into this, 51 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 5: if you plan a bet on any sport and still 52 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 5: haven't downloaded D three award winning Action Network. 53 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 4: App, what are you doing? 54 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 5: I mean, it's got betting tools, let's you shot for 55 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 5: the best lines, it's got analysis for myself, Stucky, the 56 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 5: whole Action Network team, and most importantly, it lets you 57 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 5: track every bet that you make.

All right, let's get right into Week 65 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 5: two because it's a big week for betting, I think, 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 5: so let's start it right off with Thursday Night Football. 67 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 5: It's not the best game. 68 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: But it's the only game tonight. 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: Let's bet Thursday night football. 70 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 5: All right, week two Thursday Night probably gonna be an 71 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 5: ugly one. Giants going to Washington to take on the 72 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 5: football team new name to be determined to spread Washington by. 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 4: Three and a half at home. The total forty and 74 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: a half. 75 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 5: And this is exactly why I say, you know, get 76 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: the Action Network AP check those lines early, follow us. 77 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: I actually bet this under when it was forty three 78 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: and a half. 79 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 5: Even when Ryan Fitzpatrick, like we knew he had an injury, 80 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 5: books still hadn't really adjusted the line as much as 81 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 5: I thought they would, and then it started coming down. 82 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 5: I guess once we found out he was out for like, 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: you know, the season, but stuck. What are your thoughts 84 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 5: overall on Giants at the football team. 85 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good snag. And forty three is a 86 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: key number in the NFL these days with the extra 87 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: point moved back even more important. Look these two teams 88 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: played last year. The Giants actually swept Washington. They won 89 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 2: twenty to nineteen in a game where Washington went for 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: two at the end of the game, much to the 91 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: chagrin than anyone who had that over and didn't get it. 92 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: The Giants won twenty to nineteen, and their other meeting 93 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: in November, the Giants won twenty three to twenty. I 94 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: think the Giants were up twenty three to three at 95 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: the half and Washington came all the way back, but 96 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: the Giants held on for a win. Well, Giants didn't 97 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: do much offensively. I don't expect them to do much offensively. 98 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: We talked about this going into last week. You know, 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: even their own players expect to slow start, right so, 100 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: and we saw that against an excellent defense in Denver, 101 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: but the offense didn't look very good. This is the 102 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: exact team that Washington's defense can dominate now. I unfortunately, 103 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: one of one of the other games I had last 104 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: week was the Washington that didn't hit was the Washington Chargers, 105 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 2: over which I mean the Chroiters have like five hundred 106 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: yards offense. 107 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 5: I'm sure you were thrilled at the play where Justin 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 5: Herbert threw the ball and they called it a fumble 109 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 5: out of the end zone. 110 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: So you were just thrilled at that that I had 111 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: the Patriots fumble that wasn't a fumble. Good week for us. 112 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 5: That just messed everything up because now it's like, how 113 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 5: do we don't know in fantasy, like what's gonna happen 114 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 5: with Damian Harris? Like Belichick is he has like two 115 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 5: fumblers on the team? Is he gonna activate to like 116 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 5: that was? That was just brutal from like everywhere. So yeah, 117 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 5: I feel you about. 118 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: It, But you look, one of the things that I 119 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: that I've said before the season that actually came to 120 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: fruition was this Washington defense is not as dominant as 121 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: people thought. It's a really good defense and arguably the 122 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: best defensive front in the entire NFL, but they benefited 123 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: from a ridiculous We went through all the quarterbacks they 124 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: played and all the banged up offensive lines on that 125 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 2: ridiculous schedule last year, and they got picked apart, specifically 126 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: on third down. But I don't think the Giants are 127 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 2: capable of doing that. We talked about the Chargers upgrading 128 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: their offensive line. The Giants haven't. And this is a 129 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: game where Washington can really dominate from the defensive line. 130 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: The Giants offense is still just a mess. There's still 131 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: not in sync. There's gonna be some teams that improve 132 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: a lot from Week one to Week two. There's gonna 133 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: be some teams that are takes a little bit longer 134 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: due to you know, COVID injuries, lack of continuity and camp. Well, 135 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: this is a short week, so you only have a 136 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: couple more days, and I didn't see anything to really 137 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: get excited about. I only make, you know, with Fitzpatrick out, 138 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: I only make I make the line a little over 139 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: three between three and three and a half. I make 140 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: the total like forty one ish, so a good grab 141 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: on the forty three. I say every year I look 142 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 2: for reasons not to play Thursday night football. The games 143 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: are usually sloppy and messy, So I'm right on with 144 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: the market here. From a side and total perspective, it 145 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me if we see another game right in 146 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: that ballpark of like twenty to seventeen, so I'll be 147 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: a viewer. It might come in live. Check out our props, 148 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: the prop coverage that we'll have out, which should be 149 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: money as always. But as of right now, this is 150 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: a pregame pass for me. 151 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think for me, Wait, giants are nothing if 152 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 5: I was to bet the aside in this one, but 153 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 5: I'm going to probably stick with my total with like 154 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 5: three points in line. Value and just sit on that, 155 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 5: and you know, maybe I'll get in on some props obviously. 156 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: But the reason I say. 157 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 5: Giants or nothing for me is you kind of mentioned 158 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 5: how the Giants did play well against this team last 159 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: year with the same two coaching staffs. 160 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 4: So and that was the first year of both respective 161 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: coaching staffs. 162 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 5: And now we're back right here again, right like, we're 163 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 5: back right here with Washington. Same deal, good defense going 164 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 5: against week quarterback, but their own quarterback is not good 165 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 5: either because now you're starting Tyler Hannike. 166 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: You know about the third starting quarterback for Washington in 167 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: the in the three games we're talking about, they had 168 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: Alex Smith started one of the games, they had Kyle 169 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: Allen start the other last year, and now at Tyer Haneke. 170 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 5: Terrible luck for Washington for fits, because I think he 171 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 5: was gonna substantially improve that team just because of how 172 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: bad or substandard the quarterback situation was for them last year. 173 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 5: But you know, it is interesting, you have some you 174 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: have a lot of trends that support kind of Giants 175 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 5: in the under. I think the values bet out of 176 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 5: the total at this point. But you know, Week two 177 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: divisional unders are fifty five and thirty eight fifty nine 178 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 5: percent since two thousand and five. According to our Action 179 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 5: Labs data, Danny Jones on the road is nine and 180 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,599 Speaker 5: four against the spread. He's four and ten against the 181 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 5: spread at home. It always seems to happen inevitably. Is 182 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 5: like the Giants play like shit at home because they're 183 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 5: just not that great. They have a shitty offensive line, 184 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: the quarterbacks below average, and then they go on the 185 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 5: road and they get a little, you know, the other 186 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 5: team gets a little overrated, and the Giants end up 187 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 5: pointing it out. So we wouldn't be surprised if the 188 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 5: Giants won this game, like in an ugly one Giants 189 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 5: or nothing if I'm betting it. 190 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 4: Let's go to the Sunday six pack for week two. 191 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: Thursday for Action, Let's crack open the Sunday six pack. 192 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 5: All right, stuck week one, we both went a two 193 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 5: out of three on our six pack. I hit my 194 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 5: total barely years as you talked about one unders, so 195 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 5: I'm up for three. 196 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: Man. There's a lot going on right as we recorded this, so. 197 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 5: Ends up moving and so I'm going to go with 198 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 5: my first pick with Minnesota plus three and a half 199 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 5: at Arizona for the first pick of the Sunday six 200 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 5: pack in Week two, and that's because number one, I 201 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 5: think this is a week two overreaction. Now, this line 202 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 5: was four and a half. It's still three and a half. 203 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 5: I like it, you know, down to here. I wiped 204 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 5: it a lot more at four and a half, obviously, 205 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 5: but as long as it's above three, I think you're 206 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 5: still getting some value here. 207 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: Minnesota, Listen, they came out of a little. 208 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 5: Bit flat in that Sincy game, you know, or I 209 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 5: shouldn't say came out flat. They kind of didn't play 210 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 5: well in the second half and into overtime more so. 211 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 5: But Arizona got the luxury of and you called it 212 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: stuck like facing his Titans team that was just a 213 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 5: little discombobulated heading into Week one. I mean, guys are 214 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 5: on the COVID list, Guys weren't practicing. Taylor Lwan came 215 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 5: out and straight up said he was asked and like 216 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 5: he was like, thank you, Chamler Jones for exposing me. 217 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 5: We'll talk about that game in a bit, but this 218 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 5: is the time to back the teams that kind of 219 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: disappointed well for the most part. You know, there's obviously 220 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 5: those exceptions, but in fade the teams that kind of 221 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 5: surprise and that the market is overreacting to. 222 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: If you look at Week two. 223 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 5: Underdogs coming off a loss, and when it's a plus, 224 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 5: the spread is plus six or less. 225 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 4: So when it's still like. 226 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 5: A reasonable, you know, reasonably close game, not some straight 227 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 5: up blowout situation like maybe the Bucks could be. So 228 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 5: Week two dogs off the loss plus six or less 229 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: fifty seven and thirty three, sixty three percent against the 230 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 5: spread since two thousand and five, according to our Action 231 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 5: Labs data. I also love backing Mike Zimmer in these 232 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 5: spots because this Vikings team, it's always kind of mediocre, 233 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 5: little above average maybe, but Mike Zimmer off a loss 234 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: thirty and fifteen against the spread. So that's two out 235 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 5: of every three since he took over as the head 236 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 5: coach of Minnesota. And I get to bet against Cliff 237 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 5: Kingsbury and on Mike Zimmer. 238 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury in two teams, and I think a reasonably 239 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: even we matched, you know, I think, you know, give 240 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: him what we saw from Arizona with JJ Watt and 241 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: Shandler Jones. 242 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 5: I'll give him a little bit of an edge because 243 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 5: I don't think we saw as much for at Viken 244 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 5: d as we wanted to see, you know, in week one. 245 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 5: I think it'll come together as the season progresses. Dalvin Cook, 246 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 5: I felt bad for him with that fumble because I 247 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 5: know he was playing with a heavy heart. You know, 248 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 5: his pops died suddenly at the end of last year. 249 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 5: He missed Week seventeen. He was just eighty two yards 250 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 5: shy of two thousand. He really wanted to win. I 251 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 5: really wanted to start off on the right foot. And 252 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 5: you know, Fumble had the key fumble waiting in that overtime. 253 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 4: So it's a tough break for him. But I think 254 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: Minnesota's capable winning this game. 255 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 5: So I'm taking them plus three and a half for 256 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 5: my first pick of the Sunday six pack in Week two. 257 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. If you didn't take them, I 258 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 2: would have. And you know, backed Cliff last week, I was. 259 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: A great call. 260 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 2: I faded him this week with plus four and a half. 261 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 2: Look to kind of set the the stage four week two. 262 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: I end up. Look early in the seasons when you 263 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: want to make your largest adjustments as a handicapper because 264 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: you're learning the most, but you don't want to overreact 265 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: and more often than not, the market does overreact to 266 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: things that we see in Week one. Just take a 267 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: look at last year. You can do this every year. 268 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: You know, the Colts lost to the Jacks, right the 269 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 2: Colts made the playoffs. The Jags still haven't won a 270 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: game since then. You know, the Bucks lost to the Saints. 271 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: Bucks went on to win the Super Bowl. The Saints 272 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 2: lost the next week is four point favorites by double 273 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 2: digits in Vegas. The Browns lost by fifty in Baltimore. 274 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: The Browns ended up being okay, like it's just one week, 275 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: one day. At a point, you don't want to overreact along 276 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: those lines. You know, if you look at home underdogs 277 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: in week two off a loss since two thousand and 278 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: three have gone forty nine thirty eight and one against 279 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: the spread, it's about fifty six and a half percent 280 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 2: and not too shatcause against the close in a very 281 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: efficient market. And you know, if you look at some 282 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: of these blowouts since two thousand and three eighteen that 283 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: cover by more than twenty seven points forty three percent 284 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: in the regular season the following week, that's at anytime 285 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: Week two, two, fourteen and one against the spread, we 286 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,599 Speaker 2: actually have that so it only happened seventeen times with 287 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: two fourteen one. We actually have three instances of it 288 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: this week. The Saints, you know, they they covered by 289 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: more than four touchdowns, the Cardinals and the Eagles against 290 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. I think that really fit applies there. 291 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: The Saints and Cardinals. Everyone said wow. And if you 292 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: look at this look aheadline with the Vikings, I mean 293 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: this was under a field goal and now you're getting 294 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: four and a half three and a half. So I 295 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: agree with you here. The Vikings do have some some 296 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: things to worry about on the offensive line, where Shad 297 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: Hill was a mess. They really need Barrymore to come 298 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: back and hope that he's so good. Their first round 299 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: draft pick Bradberry got pushed back into The Bengals really 300 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: took advantage of the interior offensive line of the Vikings. 301 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: The defense struggled, specifically in the secondary, but I'm not 302 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: as worried about Zimmer's defense. I think Minnesota is a 303 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: team that on the defensive side of the ball, and 304 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: in regardless to penalties, they had thirteen flags in the 305 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: first half. Nine accepted. That's insane. Zimmers team's usually very disciplined, 306 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: as usually the Kingsbury teams that aren't. So I'm not 307 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,479 Speaker 2: too worried about that. The defense had nine new starters 308 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: from last year. Nine, so you know, expecting some growing 309 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: pains I think is not too alarming in the first 310 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: game on the road. And hey, Patrick Peterson, I always 311 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: say a corner that's been of the team for a 312 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: while can provide some edge knowing that other team's you know, 313 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: tendencies and how the wide receivers operate in some of 314 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: the play calling. So Patrick Peterson's kind of intel might 315 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: help here. So I completely agree with you. I make 316 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: this under a field goal. It's a great by low 317 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: Sell high spot on the Cardinals, who just looked flawless, 318 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: I mean defensively and offensively, which leads me into my 319 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: first pick of the Sunday six pack and the second overall. 320 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm going with the Carolina Panthers and Sam Darnold plus 321 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: three and a half. I took plus four at BETMGM. 322 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: It's plus three and a half right now. Still like 323 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: it some there, try and see if you can find 324 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: a four. I don't know if it's going to get 325 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: back there across the board because the Saints' coaching staff 326 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: they have six offensive assistants who were tested positive for COVID, 327 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: so that's gonna hurt their preparation. But again I already 328 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: mentioned in the spot with the Saints they covered by 329 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: more than four touchdowns. Teams in that spot specifically in 330 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: Week two have been awful the next week. You know, 331 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: the Panthers didn't look great against the Jets, but I 332 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: saw enough to feel confident in backing them here against 333 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: the Saints team that still has issues. They It's one 334 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: week again. I was on the Saints. I love the 335 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: Saints last week. But what do we always talk about 336 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: on here. If you're going to fade Jamis, do you 337 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: want to do so when he's a favor. He's eighteen 338 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: ten and one against the spread as an underdog more 339 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: than a field goal. He's seven to fourteen and one 340 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: against the spread as a favorite. I can see him 341 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 2: making numerous mistakes here against Carolina's own looks and New 342 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 2: Orleans just they don't have the receivers. That's gonna hurt, 343 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: really hurt this Carolina secondary, which is suspect. And you 344 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: have to look at the other side of the I mean, 345 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: you go look at the injury report for New Orleans 346 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 2: it's not pretty. Now you have Marshawn Lattimore out, which 347 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: is just huge because this is a brand new cornerback group. 348 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 2: So I'm going to buy the Panthers here in a 349 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: spot where I'm primarily selling the Saints, who I think 350 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: just it was just their day. I think they benefited 351 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: from some humidity as well, and the track and just 352 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: everything went their way. It happens, but I think this 353 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: line should be closer to two. The look aheadline was 354 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: under a field goal, So I'm taking the Panthers plug 355 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: US three and a half on Sunday. I think they 356 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: win out right, but don't worry, We'll have plenty of 357 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: opportunities to fade good old Sammy Darnell down the stretch. 358 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 5: And on top of that, the Saints have some COVID 359 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 5: risk going on here because I think it's like six 360 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 5: members of their coaching staff plus the nutritionist plus Michael 361 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: Thomas all. 362 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 4: Came down with COVID. 363 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 5: Now, I think Sean Payton and like the Key, like 364 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 5: the Key, guys escaped it. But it's still a risk that, 365 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 5: you know, something, between now and Sunday, something could go wrong. 366 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 4: So I actually bet the under on this game as well. 367 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 5: Just because I think, you know, Saint's dealing with offensive issues. 368 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 5: Carolina's defense I think is better than people think this year. 369 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 5: I think the front seven of Carolinas is really good. 370 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean the package just got caught up 371 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 5: in it. They just laid an egg, like as much 372 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 5: as there's nothing else really to say. I mean, they 373 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 5: laid like a bigger than Titan sized egg in that 374 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 5: game because the Titans laiden Megan and the Packers laid 375 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 5: an egg. 376 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 4: So yeah, I like that one as well. 377 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and think about think about that as overreactions like 378 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: some of these. You know what happens in Week one, 379 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: Like Aaron Rodgers doesn't all a sudden stink. The Texans 380 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: offense isn't all of a sudden good. Don't ever react, Hey, 381 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,239 Speaker 2: shout out to the Texans. Don't shout out to us 382 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: because they helped us hit our Week one moneyline underdog 383 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: parlay Eagles Texans. 384 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, right off the bat. 385 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: All right. 386 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 5: For my second pick of the week two Sunday six 387 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 5: pack and the third overall pick, I am going with 388 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 5: the Tennessee Titans plus five and a half at the 389 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 5: Seattle Seahawks. We both kind of already gotten into this. 390 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 5: The Titans were not prepared in Week one, they were 391 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 5: not enough practice time, things going wrong just you know, 392 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 5: heading into the season. It wasn't an ideal spot. They 393 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 5: got blown out. So I'm buying the dip here, buying 394 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 5: the overreaction. And on the other side, we have the 395 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 5: fact that the Seahawks played essentially a carbon copy of 396 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 5: the Titans. The Seahawks played not in the team, but 397 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 5: in the fact that the Colts. If there was one 398 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 5: team that I think I think I said this on 399 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 5: the podcast, like, if there's one team that you expect 400 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 5: not to come out prepared in Week one, it was 401 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 5: probably the Colts because they just dealt with so much 402 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 5: COVID situations, parks and wentz barely practicing for a variety 403 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 5: of reasons, whether it was COVID, whether it was the foot. 404 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 4: So, you know, the Seahawks take advantage of that. 405 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 5: They get a couple of big plays, they play well, 406 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 5: but you know, they win twenty eight sixteen. You know, 407 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 5: I'm not really looking at that. It's like, oh, the 408 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 5: Seahawks got a thousand times better. I liked what I 409 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 5: saw on the Seahawks, you know, no doubt about it. 410 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 4: But I think this Titans team, they're still healthy enough. 411 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 5: You know, Tarawuan didn't have a great first game, got 412 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 5: just manhandled by Chamlra Jones, who I don't know who 413 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 5: on the Seahawks is getting five acts on tayl On 414 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 5: Taylor Luan. So like this, like the matchup here, I 415 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 5: think it kind of favors the Titans to get in 416 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 5: one of these games where when you have Derrick Henry, 417 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 5: you have aj Brown, you have Julio and offense another 418 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 5: week of practice. I think this is a little more 419 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 5: of a toss up game than people think the Titans 420 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 5: are going to be able to score on Seattle. The 421 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 5: Titans are going to you know, the Seattle's not going 422 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 5: to just be able to to I think, you know, 423 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 5: kind of coast the way they did against Indianapolis after 424 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 5: getting up in that one. I think the Titans this 425 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 5: week will be a lot more prepared. 426 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: They'll be trying to erase that early loss. 427 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 5: And again you have these Week two dogs, you know, 428 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 5: coming off that that loss in Week one, when when 429 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 5: the numbers six or less and they're they're hitting sixty 430 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 5: three percent of the time over the last fifteen years. 431 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 5: So I like Tennessee and I think even you know, 432 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 5: if you're really kind of looking to jenet out and 433 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 5: get even more action on this game, I wouldn't mind 434 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 5: Tennessee in the first half either. First half underdogs off 435 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 5: a blowout are fifty nine percent against the spread, so 436 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 5: not quite as good as as the full game number. 437 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 5: But you look at teams that lost by more than 438 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 5: twenty and that next week in the first half, they 439 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 5: are hitting at a fifty nine percent rate against the spread. 440 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 5: So whit Tennessee for the game. Don't think Seattle can 441 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 5: kill him with the pass rush away Arizona did. Think 442 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 5: Tennessee's more prepared. Think Tennessee's hungry coming off the loss. 443 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 5: And this is still a Seattle team that wins most 444 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 5: of their games by like a field goal even if 445 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 5: they do win. So you're getting five and a half here, 446 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: and I think, you know, after what Tennessee did, the 447 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 5: market's probably down on them, So maybe we even get 448 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 5: a six at some point, But for the purposes of 449 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 5: the show, I'm taking it at five and a half. 450 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 5: Tennessee an underdog at Seattle week two. 451 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: I completely agree with the principle of the play by 452 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 2: low Sell high spot and look, I'm shocked I'm saying this. 453 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: I thought I was going to be on Tennessee, especially 454 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 2: after what happened last week. And I love fading. I 455 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: love fading. Seattle is more than you know, four or 456 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: five point on a favorite. But I just don't know. 457 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: I need to see. I don't blindly to that play. 458 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: All the home doogs are the bilose. There's some there's 459 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: some art matchups. It's not just you know, here's the 460 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 2: home dog, here's the situation play. And I don't know 461 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 2: how long it's gonna take for Tennessee to get up 462 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: to speed. It could just this week of practice, boom, 463 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: they get their timing down. The offensive line has been back, 464 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 2: they got a full they got a full game in 465 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: Julio is going to be more instinct with the office. 466 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: Could be this week. But I'm going to play it 467 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: cautiously and sit on the silence here. I'm not playing Seattle, 468 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: who I was impressed with on offense, I'm just Shane 469 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: Waldron Russell Wilson looked great. But I do do think 470 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: they benefited from playing a Colts team that was dealing 471 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 2: with a lot prior to the season, and the Colts 472 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 2: also went oh for three on fourth downs. So you know, 473 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: that game could have been a lot closer than the 474 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: final score. So I can't disagree with your logic for 475 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: the reason for the play. And I wouldn't be surprised 476 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 2: as if this, you know, if that Tennessee offense gets 477 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 2: back up to where we expect it to be, I 478 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if this is the type of game. 479 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: It's just the last team with the ball wins. 480 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a I mean, and you know this is 481 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 5: you're also playing the card here, right, like I mean, 482 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: we have to for the show. So you know, looking 483 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 5: at the card, there's a couple of these, you know, 484 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 5: big spreads that I just don't want to touch. 485 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 4: Either way, like Tampa Bay. 486 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 5: So you know, five and a half, you know, when 487 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 5: you start looking at it, I mean, it's that's just 488 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 5: a bigger that's just a big number for a team 489 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 5: that I think it easily win this game, you know, 490 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 5: like Seattle is not. Oh like they're the same Seattle 491 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 5: that has had one of the best quarterbacks in the 492 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 5: league for almost a decade now, but they'll still kind 493 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 5: of play these these close games. So yeah, it's it's 494 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 5: kind of a card play, but I do like it 495 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 5: I am betting this for real, So yeah, Tennessee five 496 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: and a half. 497 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if one note like five isn't really a 498 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: key number, and for the condess wouldn't matter if you 499 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 2: have six or five and a half. Yeah, But as 500 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 2: you may, I would if you're sitting on the sidelines 501 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: hesitant here, maybe some you know, late sharp money or 502 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: late public money pushes this up. You're better off trying 503 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: to wait for a six or who knows a six 504 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: and a half than you know, having the opportunity to 505 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: you have to take five instead of five and a half. 506 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 2: But for my second pick of the Sunday six pack 507 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: and the fourth overall, I'm going with the team we 508 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 2: just talked about, the Indianapolis Colts plus four at home 509 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: against the Los Angeles Rams. First of all, I do 510 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: want to say that the Rams on offense really impressed me. 511 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: I mean, look, Stafford first game running the show in 512 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: this new offense, he looked spectacular. But let's not get 513 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: too carried away with, you know, crowning the Rams super 514 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: Bowl champions after you know, a week one primetime home 515 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 2: victory over Andy Dalton and the Bears. We're both very 516 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 2: low on this year a team that has an atrocious 517 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 2: offensive line and I think overrated defense. So as a result, 518 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: I think that the Rams love has gotten there's too 519 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 2: much Rams love in the market. After that win, people 520 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: are just assuming the cults are are awful. Now, I 521 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 2: mean this line, pre this line in the preseason look 522 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: ahead line was Colts minus one and a half. Now 523 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: there's obviously injury concerns. Covid where it was wentz last 524 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 2: week the look head line was Colts mine. I mean 525 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: Rams minus two minus two outs up to four. You've crossed, 526 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: you know, a couple key numbers, so I had to 527 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: grab the four here the Colts last week, Look, they 528 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 2: lost another opening, uh season opening. 529 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's. 530 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: Third longest streak in NFL history. It's great. 531 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 5: Reich is zero to four now, and he's a he's 532 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 5: a good coach. 533 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 4: Like they was. 534 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 5: They lost the teams that want to combined nine and 535 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 5: thirty six in his first three years that went on 536 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 5: to go nine and three, and then they lost to Seattle, 537 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 5: who's not going to go now you know they're not 538 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 5: gonna be bad. But like, it's nuts how he couldn't 539 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 5: like turn that around because he's a good coach. 540 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we mentioned. You know, the Jags loss lays bad. 541 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: They're owing sixteen cents. And but if you want to 542 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: take an optimistice, if you're a coltsman out there, they've 543 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 2: under right. They've won in Week two each of the 544 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: past three years, so they bounced back last year. I 545 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 2: was all over them against the Vikings after they lost 546 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 2: to the Jags at home. I'm back on them here. Look, 547 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 2: I'm giving you know, I'm gonna be hesitant and cautious 548 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: with some teams like Tennessee. I'm giving the benefit of 549 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 2: the doubt to the Minnesota defense and to the Colts 550 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 2: as a whole. Look, the defense, the secondary willis in particular, 551 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 2: safety struggled. It's the first game. It's Russell Wilson, and 552 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 2: all was understandable. The offensive line was a little bit 553 00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: more concerning. You know, both tackles played awful. But I 554 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: saw enough from Wentz that I don't think that he's 555 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 2: going to be, you know, the worst quarterback in the NFL. Again. 556 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: He looks much more comfortable in that system. In his 557 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 2: first game, he was fairly efficient. It wasn't just throwing 558 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 2: the ball up in the air and turning it over. 559 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: That's what he was last year, so I know it's 560 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 2: not a big hurdle to clear, but I actually thought 561 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: he looked pretty good. I expect the offensive line to 562 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: be much better this week. It would help if Eric Fisher, 563 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: who has a chance to play, can come back and 564 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 2: play left tackle for Davenport, who gave up two huge sacks. 565 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 2: I mentioned the Cults are over three on fourth down, 566 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: so they could have been. They could have made that 567 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: game a lot more competitive. The defense also settled down 568 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: in the second half. Some of that has to do 569 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: with Seattle play calling, but I think that they did 570 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: look a little better than the second half, and I 571 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: ultimately trust this staff, you know, to get it together 572 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: after a week of practice. He talked about it. They 573 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: had offensive line injuries. Covid Wentz is barely practicing, So 574 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: I think this week of practice, after getting a game, 575 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: and they'll be much better here. I think that they 576 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: can at their offensive line and their rushing attack will 577 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: actually get going against the Rams. This Rams defense, you 578 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 2: has some holes, and having Jalen Ramsey this week, it's 579 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 2: not like the Colts have a star receiver that you 580 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: take out and you know, not like the Bears, and 581 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: it matters for the Bears. They have a really good receiver. 582 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: You want to take out the Colts not really, So 583 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: whoever he's guarding, I'm sure they're going to be locked down. 584 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: I'm not part of the that play, but it's not 585 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: a huge loss for the Colts. So I think that 586 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: the Rams defense has some vulnerabilities that Chicago just wasn't 587 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: able to exploit Andy Dalton through the ball down the 588 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: field past fifteen yards one time the entire game it 589 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: was picked it was at one time. So I still 590 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: have some questions about this Rams defense outside of obviously 591 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: Donald and Ramsey, but this, ultimately, this is just I'm 592 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: trusting the Colts staff. I'm trusting that they'll be better, 593 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: especially on the offensive line this week. And I'm buying 594 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: love on the home pup here catching four in the 595 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: game that I make under a field goal in a 596 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 2: good spot. 597 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 5: I think I compare like your Titans are my Colts, 598 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 5: like the Colts are a team at This matchup is 599 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 5: more of a wait and see for me, because I 600 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 5: have question marks about the Rams defense in terms of 601 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 5: not so much the talent level, and I love Rhee Morris, 602 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: but I'm interested to see how they play this because 603 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 5: it was clear that against Chicago, even though Andy Dalton. 604 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 5: If you say who's the better player, Dave then Montgomery 605 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 5: at running back or Andy Dalton at quarterback, even though 606 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 5: you would say Montgomery, I think at this stage the 607 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 5: Rams still just. 608 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 4: Said please run on us. 609 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 5: They played two safety back, two safeties back the majority 610 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 5: of the time, or it was the disguise, and David 611 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 5: Ramsey wasn't even on Allen Robinson for most of that game. 612 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 4: He was up at the line of scrimmage. 613 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 5: So I do think Ramsey playing more at the line 614 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 5: of scrimmage getting tackles for loss helps them in this matchup. 615 00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 4: But I'm also curious. 616 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 5: To say, do the Rams just let the Coats run, 617 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 5: because I think if they do, that's not gonna turn 618 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 5: out as well as it did against the Bears. Like 619 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 5: the Coats are a team that wants to run anyway, 620 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 5: they'll be able to do more with that. You know, 621 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 5: the Bears they got a good game out of Montgomery 622 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 5: and still put up what fourteen points of offense. 623 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 4: I think the Coats will be better than that. 624 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 5: I think the Rams they played well against Chicago, but 625 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 5: they also know that defense because that's that Vic Fangio 626 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 5: Brandon's stailely defense that you talked about, like, I wouldn't 627 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 5: be surprised if Coats won this game, but I also 628 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised if they got blown out. 629 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 4: I need to see another week at least of Carson Wentz. 630 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 5: Carson Wentz since twenty eighteen, so over the last three 631 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 5: plus years, just fourteen and twenty six against the spread. 632 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: He just hasn't been effected. All right, Let's go to. 633 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 5: The fifth overall pick, my third pick at a Sunday 634 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 5: six pack. I'm taking the Eagles plus three and a half. 635 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 5: Try to get that hook. You know, a lot of 636 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 5: different spots still have it at three and a half, 637 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 5: but I have seen some books move two three. But 638 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 5: this is probably the one, and you kind of alluded 639 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 5: to it, the one spot where I'm not just going 640 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 5: on the I'm not looking. I guess to fade the 641 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 5: week one noise. I think the market is still a 642 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 5: little bit low on Philly. The reason so much isn't 643 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 5: Philly who I thought would hand to Atlanta. 644 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 4: It wasn't really a. 645 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 5: Popular call outside of this podcast, I don't think, but 646 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 5: we both thought Philly would handle Atlanta. 647 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 4: I just thought they had an edge in the trenches. 648 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 5: But here you have, First of all, I think the 649 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 5: total of this game is too high. So you know 650 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 5: right there, that's gonna yeah, that's gonna be more. That's 651 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 5: gonna be more value on the dog while we're scoring 652 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 5: a game. That's why I love the hook. But remember this, 653 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 5: Both of these teams can get pressure, they don't have 654 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 5: the blitz to do it. Philly finished number two in 655 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 5: pressure rate. Both of these teams in Week one bottom 656 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 5: form blitz rate. I just think this is gonna be 657 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 5: a defensive struggle. Looking back at San Francisco's defense, even 658 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 5: when it's clicking, what do they have trouble with? They 659 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 5: have trouble with those mobile quarterbacks because they're not necessarily 660 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 5: gonna send pressure and get guys are gonna be in 661 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 5: the back for it. So if the quarterback, you know, 662 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 5: drops back, nothing's there and pressure comes, he only he 663 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 5: has four. 664 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 4: You know, it's still five on four plus the quarterback. 665 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 5: A lot of the time, you know, to beat that pressure, 666 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 5: and Jalen Hurts could do that. San Francisco's not going 667 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 5: for eleven and a half yards for attempt this week 668 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 5: against Philly. I was really impressed with Philly's defensive and 669 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 5: I think I remember you saying like word for word, Yeah, 670 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 5: like you said word for word like Philly's defense is 671 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 5: going to make the biggest week out of any defense 672 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 5: this year. And that is looking even more like spot 673 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 5: on after Week one because in Lanta did. 674 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 4: Nothing a rookie like yeah, and Arthur Smith looked like 675 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: a rookie. 676 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 5: That's even more impressive, I think, because you know Arthur 677 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 5: Smith is pretty good coordinator. Will Atlanta played better this week? 678 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 5: Maybe not because I hate their match up against Tampa 679 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 5: Bay two. 680 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 4: I don't know. 681 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 5: If they play better, they might just be this bad. 682 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 5: But regardless, Philly at home catching three and a half, 683 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 5: San Francisco going cross country, probably a low scoring defensive 684 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 5: battle a quarterback who can San Francisco can do everything right, 685 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 5: have the right call on defense, and Philly could still 686 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 5: beat it. This is just too many points for a 687 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 5: Philly team that was dominant. Philly has offensive line that 688 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 5: can protect, they have a defensive line that can get 689 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 5: after it, so they're not really Most teams are disadvantaged 690 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 5: against San Francisco because San Francisco is going to beat 691 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 5: you in the trenches, right, San Francisco has a good 692 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 5: O line, good D line, Philly. That's not going to 693 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 5: be an issue. So now you're just talking about Jimmy 694 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 5: g versus Jayalen Hurts, and you have one of them 695 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 5: that can make better offscript praise than the others. So 696 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 5: give me the Eagles plus three and a half. 697 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. I think that unlock. The logic 698 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 2: would say, oh wait, the Eagles covered by twenty eight 699 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 2: points or whatever, and you should fail them. But you 700 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: know it's not. Science hasn't hit one hundred percent time 701 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 2: I discrewed here, I played the Eagles. I would have 702 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 2: had the Eagles in again, all three of your picks 703 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: I would have had or I had the six picks. Yeah, 704 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 2: that of my potential, and then you took three of them, 705 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 2: and then I took the three that were left, which 706 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: is pretty crazy. So we're on this and you. 707 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 5: Know what's crazy is the only one you kind of 708 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 5: disagree with me with was me betting against Seattle, Like 709 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 5: this is, this is all backwards for the Action Network 710 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 5: fl podcast Like this is this is gonna be a 711 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 5: weird ass week. 712 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, trust me, we'll have a lot of disagreement throughout 713 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 2: the year, but we're on the same page this this week. Now, 714 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 2: I'd say I had six. One of them which I 715 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 2: didn't pick, I'll talk about later and then yeah, your 716 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 2: your three. I'm sorry at seven out of the seven 717 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 2: whatever we're based on the same page this week. But yeah, 718 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 2: I agree. I think that the Eagles defense is not 719 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: being that that jump that they showed flashes and glimpses 720 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 2: of it last week is not being accounted for properly 721 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 2: in the market. I think they're going to make an 722 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 2: enormous leap this year. On top of that. Look San 723 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 2: fran they didn't escape that game without injury, and I 724 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 2: don't think that's being properly adjusted. The Eagles are fairly 725 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 2: healthy after Week one by you know, you look at 726 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 2: San France corner situation now where they're talking about bringing 727 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 2: Richard Sherman back again. I don't think that's gonna happen, 728 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 2: but that's they have a number of guys that are 729 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 2: that are banned up and Philly is significantly healthier. I agree, 730 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 2: I think the total's too high. You also have, you know, 731 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 2: two new defensive coordinators, so there's not a lot of 732 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 2: tap on what they want to do, and I think 733 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 2: that can work to their advantage. But I love what 734 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 2: this Philly defense showed in Week one. I think over 735 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 2: the first at least half the season, you're gonna see 736 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 2: this Philly defense time and time again overperform expectations. I'm 737 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 2: completely on board with you with Philadelphia. 738 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 5: And I got to give you a shout out because 739 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 5: I think you set it on the Our Win Totals 740 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 5: pod before the season with Kerner for the NFC that like, 741 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 5: you're going high upside with Philly to win a division 742 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 5: right now, like I think Philly may, especially if they 743 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 5: can pull this upset here even if they don't, though 744 00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 5: they might be in the driver's seat. 745 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I'm feeling good about that one. I 746 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,959 Speaker 2: only made two division future bets. That one I feel 747 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 2: good about at the week one. The other I don't. 748 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 2: But it takes me to my third pick in the 749 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 2: sixth overall of the Sunday six pack, the Jacksonville Jaguars 750 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 2: past six at home against the Denver Broncos. Now, I'm 751 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 2: gonna get a producer to throw in some cringe sound. 752 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 4: The guy is drunk, But there we go. 753 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 2: Here are the quarterbacks I'm backing in the Sunday six pack. 754 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: This is so weak two for me, Sam Darnold, Carson Wentz, 755 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 2: and now Trevor Lawrence. So, speaking of Trevor Lawrence, he 756 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 2: looked awful last week by any metric, if you look 757 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 2: at any all he grated out just the offense wasn't working, 758 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 2: the defense was abysmal. I mean, he threw three picks 759 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: against the worst arguably the worst defense in the NFL. 760 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 2: But it's Week one on the road in the divisional 761 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 2: game for a rookie, a top overall draft You want 762 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: to know what top overall draft picks have done. And 763 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 2: it's the reason one of the reasons we were on 764 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 2: the Texans to win that game. They're now since two 765 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 2: thousand and three, they're now oh and oh seven and 766 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 2: one straight up. Kyler Murray tied the Lions at home 767 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 2: oh seven and one straight up and one in seven 768 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 2: against the spread in Week one. Top overall draft pick 769 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 2: that year starts in Week one oh seven and one 770 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 2: straight up, one and seven against the spread. Stafford Bradford, Newton, 771 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 2: Locke Winston, Kyler Burrow and now Trevor Lawrence. What have 772 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: they done the following week, Well, they went six. They've 773 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 2: they've combined to go six and one against the spread 774 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 2: pending Lawrence's results. So obviously the market was, hey, look, 775 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 2: this kind of speaks to this whole week two of reaction. 776 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 2: Top overall pick, this quarterback is going to be great. 777 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 2: You know, shifs to bed in week one and then 778 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 2: they say, oh, this team's terrible. Usually it's a bad team. 779 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 2: So then you say, oh, well the quarterback now terrible too. 780 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 2: They had the top overall pick for a reason and 781 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 2: then they get sold. So I think there's value here, 782 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 2: which is why this line is six. This this look 783 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 2: at line was two and a half. Two and a half. Now, 784 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 2: I know Jacksonville looked awful. Denver I loved, I love Denver. 785 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 2: I will talk about my love for Denver. This line 786 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 2: should not be six. It might prove that, you know, 787 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 2: in five to six weeks, it might look like we 788 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: might look back and say, yeah, the line should have 789 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 2: been six, but we don't know that yet. And this 790 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 2: is a massive over adjustment. And I think Trevor Lawrence, 791 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 2: you can expect him to settle down to look a 792 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 2: little more comfortable in his second start. It's a guy 793 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 2: that I was high on. I know that the Jags 794 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: have issues, you know, offensive tackle, at defense, particularly in 795 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 2: the secondary. But this is still You're catching six at 796 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 2: home after that embarrassing performance. And don't sleep on the 797 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 2: fact that the humidity he's going to be one billion 798 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 2: percent in Jacksonville on Sundays and that's not something Denver's 799 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 2: used to a screen bay. How they handled it so 800 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 2: that I think is almost like an altitude edge for 801 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 2: that Denver has at home. But that humidity, it looks 802 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 2: like it's gonna be one of the like I mean, 803 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 2: people from Jacksonville, North Fort, I know how bad that 804 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 2: humidity can get. It looks like it's going to be 805 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 2: a nasty and that could work in Jacksonville's favor. Look 806 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 2: at this display does require me to fade Teddy Bridgewater 807 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 2: on the road, who's twenty two and three against the 808 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 2: spread on the road, twenty two and three. All he 809 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 2: does is is cover ball games. But look, it's still 810 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 2: a Denver team that's defense first, and this total is low. 811 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 2: Catching six at home, I have to do it. I 812 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 2: you know, it's ugly. I had to hold my nose 813 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 2: to put the bed in close. My eyes. It cement. 814 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: But this this is you know, everything that I stand 815 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: for is an NFL better. I mean I'm I project 816 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 2: the line now three and a half and now I'm 817 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 2: getting six, So give me a humid take maybe, but 818 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 2: hopefully the humidity works in our favor. And rookie quarterbacks 819 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 2: who went number one overall in the NFL Draft after 820 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 2: going one and seven against the spread in Week one, 821 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 2: can potentially improved a seven to one against the spread 822 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 2: in the week two. I'm back in the Jags, sadly. 823 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 4: Do you know the straight up record by any chance 824 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 4: for those for those quarterbacks? 825 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 2: I think just yeah, two and five. The only team 826 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 2: that got blown out was Stafford in the lines. That 827 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 2: line's team was that two thousand and nine line team 828 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 2: was awful. 829 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 4: I mean, this line is agreedious. 830 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 5: Though I was kind of hoping you would take it 831 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 5: because I didn't want to take it with my first pick, 832 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 5: and I was just like, yo, this line is off. 833 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 5: I have it at four, so I have two points 834 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 5: of value and it's set. The majority of the money 835 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 5: and bets are on the Broncos, so it's probably only 836 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 5: going up. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets to 837 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 5: six and a half. Seven, But I'm I'm just putting 838 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 5: an urban meyer on like a wait and see like, 839 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 5: I like, that's really right so far it's well, I 840 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 5: mean that was Yeah, that was one of my better 841 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 5: calls I think of the offseason. Was just like yo, 842 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 5: this Urban Meyer is just somebody to watch for it. 843 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 5: But like I agree, this line is egregious. And that's 844 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 5: why I was kind of asking you about the straight 845 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 5: up record because if I do bet the Jags in 846 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 5: this game, and it would be a real nose hold, 847 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 5: but I want more than like minus one ten, like 848 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 5: I want my I want my money line straight like 849 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, I want a reward for 850 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 5: backing this fuck boy Urban Meyer. Like it's like you 851 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like he had his team completely 852 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 5: unprepared against so like where does this what does the 853 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 5: strength of schedule say? Now? 854 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 4: Like are the. 855 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 5: Jack do the Jaguars going to the Texans slot? And 856 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 5: like the and like all these teams strength the schedules, 857 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 5: Because I mean. 858 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 4: That was bad like that. 859 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 5: There's no excuse you could lose to the Texans team 860 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 5: with a veteran quarterback who doesn't turn it over and 861 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 5: has a veteran coaching staff week one, but to get 862 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 5: blown out by the Texans week one. That was That 863 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 5: was inexcusable. So that's yeah, that's the only thing that's 864 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 5: kept me off to the spread. So if I bet this, 865 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 5: it's gonna be moneyline or nothing. That's just that's just 866 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,439 Speaker 5: where I'm going with this game. To your point about Teddy, 867 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 5: because I'll give you the Devil's advocateake. 868 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 4: He's twenty two and three against the spread on a road. 869 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 5: He's only been favored on the road four times, never 870 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 5: by more than three. 871 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a six point spread. This line is egregious. 872 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be watching this one. 873 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 5: Closely, all right. That's that doesn't for our Sunday six pack. Uh, 874 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 5: this should be an interesting one. Stuck has the Carolina 875 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 5: Panthers plus three and a half, the Indianapolis Colts plus four, 876 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 5: and the Jacksonville Jaguars plus six. Back in Donald's back 877 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 5: and Wentz back in Trevor and the humidity. 878 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 2: We two's about back in the humidity, And Yeah, a 879 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 2: lot of times I end up with a lot of 880 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 2: home dogs in Week two and a lot of ugly 881 00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 2: quarterbacks this week. 882 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 5: That's exactly approached to take early in the year, and 883 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 5: then as we get more data, our numbers are our 884 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 5: standard deviations are gonna go down. Our Deltas are going 885 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 5: to be less and then we have to find different edges. 886 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 5: But right now there's still a lot of uncertainty and 887 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 5: one day to point, like you said for is week one. 888 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 5: So to recap for my picks in the week two 889 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 5: Sunday six pack, Minnesota plus three and a half, Tennessee 890 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 5: plus five and a half, Philadelphia plus three and a half. 891 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 5: That is going to wrap our Week two Sunday six pack. 892 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 5: Let's get into our Coaches Pep Talk.

I don't 914 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 4: stopped right now. 915 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 5: All right, let's get in to our favorite total of 916 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 5: the week, the week number two. 917 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 4: I stuck. I had the first pick in a six pack. 918 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 4: H taking us away with your top total bet for 919 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 4: this week. 920 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 6: Uh, well, we've already I've already provided enough pain and 921 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 6: some of the quarterbacks are back, and so let's uh 922 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 6: make it even a more painful week and go back 923 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 6: to the well with the Raiders under after we lost 924 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 6: under fifty one in a game that was seventeen to 925 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 6: seven with nine minutes to go. 926 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 2: But we're going back to We're going to the Raiders 927 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 2: under and under forty seven at at MGM. They're traveling 928 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 2: to the Steelers is an awful spot for them. Look, 929 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 2: they they act like they won a super Bowl twice. 930 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 2: They won twice at two celebrations, and you know, now 931 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 2: a short week traveling across the country to play Pittsburgh. 932 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 2: You know, Pittsburgh. Mike tom Win, predictable, Mike Tomlin showed 933 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 2: he's the road the road underdog goat once again. 934 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 4: The greatest of all time. Look at your work and 935 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 4: the road. 936 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 5: Under master, like he got the underwent to forty three 937 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 5: and fifteen and then like yeah, his his road cover 938 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 5: rate is still astronomical. 939 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Steelers still have issues. You know, if 940 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 2: you look at that game, it was very interesting. I 941 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 2: mean they didn't they only blitzed twice. And they're front 942 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 2: their defensive front. I mean, Melvin Ingram looked great. Obviously 943 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 2: you've WoT there, but their defensive front dominated the game. 944 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Dawkins, for supposed to be their star left tackle, 945 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 2: looked awful for the Bills. Feliciano got worked for the Bills, 946 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 2: and you know, Feliciana lost a lot of weight. Dawkins 947 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 2: had COVID and maybe he's not healthy and fit yet. 948 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 2: But the Steelers defensive front dominated that game. They didn't 949 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 2: have the blitz and Buffalo couldn't do anything. But there 950 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh's offense could do anything. Fifty yards at the half. 951 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 2: Ben still just quick release average. You had the fastest, 952 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 2: the quickest release of anyone in the NFL. They're using 953 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 2: more of like an h back and they're running in 954 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 2: a little bit more. But I still don't buy this offense, 955 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 2: mainly because of the offensive line. And I actually I 956 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 2: have said this before, I think that the Raiders defense 957 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,240 Speaker 2: will be better this year. You know, they added some pieces. 958 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: Crosby looks great. Just from a schematics perspective, they'll be better. 959 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,879 Speaker 2: I think that they can get some pressure on Ben. 960 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,720 Speaker 2: Then most importantly it's actually we'll get to the Ravens 961 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 2: Chiefs game. Two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL 962 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 2: over the past two years against the Blitz have been 963 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 2: Derek Carr and Patrick Mahomes, and the Ravens went all 964 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 2: out blitz all day and it actually worked for a 965 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 2: while against the Raiders. But Derek Carr, if you can 966 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 2: just get natural pressure on them, that's how you shut 967 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 2: down the Raiders offense. Pittsburgh can do that. I think 968 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's defensive line will control this game similar to what 969 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 2: they did against the Bills last week. And I think 970 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 2: Vegas's defense is a tad bit underrated. It's still not 971 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,319 Speaker 2: a great unit, but I think it's better schematically. They 972 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 2: added some talent. It's unfortunate to lose in Gockway, it appears, 973 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 2: but just Pittsburgh offense is anemic, and you know, you 974 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 2: can't really trust Pittsburgh to come out here and blow 975 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 2: them out in this spot. They normally are a little flat, 976 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 2: and you can't really trust the Raiders to be, you know, 977 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 2: ready for this on a short week after beating the 978 00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 2: Ravens on Monday night, so you could get off the 979 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,919 Speaker 2: really flat start here, give me the under and more pain. 980 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean every wide receiver Derek Carr talks up 981 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 5: is like trash. He's like, oh yeah, Jay Jones like 982 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 5: he's like he works harder than everyone. It's like, bro, y'all, 983 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 5: still don't really have. 984 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,439 Speaker 2: I thought of you when Jay Jones have that game 985 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 2: when he touchdown. 986 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 4: Like Jesus, Like, I agree. 987 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 5: I think the Raiders offensive line isn't as good. I 988 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 5: think that was the point that they put up was 989 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 5: kind of a game script thing in terms of that 990 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 5: fourth quarter just went crazy. 991 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 4: I'm with you on that one. 992 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 5: For me, I am going to a game we actually 993 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 5: talked about earlier with my total Billy San Francisco under fifty, 994 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 5: like fifty, I did a double. 995 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 4: Take when I saw this line. I make it closer 996 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 4: to forty six. 997 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 5: I think most of us do have it in that 998 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 5: like forty five to forty seven range and our Action 999 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 5: Network pro projections here. I just think this is way 1000 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 5: too many points for two teams that are good on 1001 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 5: defense that can blitz. Both of them are bottom four 1002 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 5: and blitzerate. Okay, so in Week one they blitzed under 1003 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 5: ten percent of the time. That means they're playing seven 1004 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 5: guys in coverage. Philly was number two in pressure rate. 1005 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 5: San Francisco was middle of the pack. But that's also 1006 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 5: because there's weird game script. We know San Francisco can 1007 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,919 Speaker 5: get pressure without blitzing, So you're gonna have two teams 1008 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 5: that are gonna sit back play coverage. San Francisco is 1009 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,919 Speaker 5: the team that put up forty one points last week. 1010 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 5: You know, I think they were, you know, because of 1011 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 5: the favorite I think they're responsible for this wine kind 1012 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 5: of going up a little bit, you know, Detroit comes 1013 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 5: back on them. That's a wonky game script. But San 1014 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 5: Francisco going across the country, I mentioned it earlier, they 1015 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 5: could absolutely come out a little flat here, especially against 1016 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 5: the team who's big guys are talented, and you know 1017 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,479 Speaker 5: it's always easier for those big guys for home games. 1018 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 5: You know, it's tough to go on the road. You 1019 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 5: know you gotta be on that flight and whatnot. So 1020 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 5: I think there's way too many points. And then you 1021 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,320 Speaker 5: look at the results of how these teams play defense, 1022 00:50:55,600 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 5: getting pressure, playing coverage, not blitzing. San Francisco allowed just 1023 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 5: a three point three A dot in Philadelphia was four 1024 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:04,919 Speaker 5: point five. 1025 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 4: Like, let's say I'm wrong about Philadelphia. 1026 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 5: Let's say San Francisco comes out, it plays well, and 1027 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 5: Philly doesn't cover. I still think you get this total 1028 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 5: under because I think San Francisco is gonna have to 1029 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 5: work for their scores. I don't think they're just gonna 1030 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 5: go up and down a field on this Philly defense. 1031 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 5: I don't think Philadelphia, for that matter, is gonna go 1032 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 5: up and down the field on San Francisco. I just 1033 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 5: think Jaalen Hurts has some potential to ruin some of 1034 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 5: their calls. There's I see this game as more like 1035 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 5: a you know, a twenty four to seventeen to twenty 1036 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 5: three twenty type game, not like a CEP twenty seven 1037 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 5: to twenty four you know, thirty to twenty four type situations. 1038 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 4: So I'm all over this under. 1039 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 5: I think it's a few points too high, Like this 1040 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 5: is one of the I think I'm off on this 1041 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 5: more than I've. 1042 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 4: Been off on a total in a while. So love 1043 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,720 Speaker 4: the under fifty. 1044 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 2: I fully agree. Yeah. Again, this goes back to be 1045 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 2: thinking the Philly defense is underrated and not being properly 1046 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 2: accounted for. I don't think you see too many explosive 1047 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 2: plays yep in this one. Oh yeah, I agree with 1048 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 2: you on the under. I'll be adding that as well. 1049 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 5: Stuck going Pittsburgh Vegas under forty seven, I'm going Philly, 1050 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 5: San fran under fifty. 1051 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 3: The Action Network podcast is proudly presented by BETMGM, and 1052 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 3: to celebrate the twenty twenty one NFL season, BETMGM is 1053 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 3: offering a great sign up offer for our listeners, a 1054 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 3: one thousand dollars risk free first bet.

Thanks so much for listening. 1080 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 3: Let's get back to the show. 1081 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 4: Now it's time for our favorite teasers by do week. 1082 00:53:53,680 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, six point teasers, no two, don't change, don't. 1083 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 2: Tease me please, all right. 1084 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 5: For you guys unfamiliar with teasers, it just means that 1085 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 5: you can combine two bets and you get an allotted 1086 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,440 Speaker 5: number of extra points to take down each spread, so 1087 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 5: a more favorable spread for each of the bets that 1088 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 5: you take. So the standard is usually a six point teaser. 1089 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 5: Books usually charged minus one twenty four it. Some books 1090 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 5: have been going up in price because there is an 1091 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,920 Speaker 5: edge to these things, all right. So for example, if 1092 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 5: you've bet an eight point underdog with a six point taser, 1093 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 5: they become a fourteen point underdog. If you've been an 1094 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 5: eight point favorite with a six point teaser, now they're 1095 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 5: just a two point favorite. 1096 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 4: So the line is favorable for you. 1097 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 2: Stuck. 1098 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 5: You always talk about, you know, tease through the key numbers, 1099 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 5: the three, the four, the six, the seven. So when 1100 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 5: you can do that, you you would have an edge 1101 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 5: in these things. So every week we give our favorite teasers. 1102 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,879 Speaker 5: Stuck has some great content out at actionnetwork dot com 1103 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 5: and the Action Network app about selecting your teasers each 1104 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 5: week at action network dot com and any action app. 1105 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 4: So be sure you check that out. 1106 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 2: Stutt Yeah, just go to Google and you can go 1107 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 2: to the Action Network and search, or go to Google 1108 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 2: to search Stucky teasers. You find the one of the 1109 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 2: many articles out there, a lot of stuff that was 1110 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,840 Speaker 2: first written by Stanford Wang and then called Wang Teasers. 1111 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 2: You want to ideally tease through three and seven. So 1112 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 2: you want to bring a favorite that's between seven and 1113 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 2: a half and eight and a half down under a 1114 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 2: field goal and an underdog, you know, between one and 1115 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 2: a half and two and a half up over seven, 1116 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 2: crossing the key numbers of three and seven. If you 1117 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 2: want to pay minus one twenty or less in doing so, 1118 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 2: you pretty much have an edge. If you can do 1119 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 2: that blindly, lower the total, the better your teaser is 1120 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,760 Speaker 2: because the points are more valuable among some other factors 1121 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,800 Speaker 2: that you can check out in that article. But this 1122 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 2: week no teasers. No teasers for me, but there's no 1123 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 2: two pieces that actually fit. And I was peeking ahead 1124 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 2: of the next week. Next week we might have like 1125 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 2: there could be a big teaser week. There could be 1126 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 2: I think eight nine or ten. I was looking at 1127 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,359 Speaker 2: for my projections eight nine or ten spreads that could 1128 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 2: be between like one and three. So I'm not getting 1129 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 2: too far ahead of myself. First, we had to get 1130 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 2: through some bad quarterbacks, but that should be interesting with 1131 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 2: this week. No teasers for me, But if I had 1132 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 2: to place one, what I would do is I would 1133 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 2: throw New England. I would tease them from six. Now 1134 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 2: you're not crossing seven. We were crossing a couple key 1135 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 2: numbers from six down to zero. I know it's the 1136 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,640 Speaker 2: road division game for the first road division game for 1137 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,760 Speaker 2: a rookie, but it's also a rookie and Zach Wilson 1138 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,919 Speaker 2: for the Jets, who didn't look great last week going 1139 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,840 Speaker 2: up against Bill Belichick, who's also coming off of a loss. 1140 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 2: That the Jets not a team that I was interested 1141 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 2: in betting this week. Maybe they got the seven or 1142 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 2: seven plus and I'm sure everyone's beending the Patriots. Maybe 1143 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 2: it does, but you know, the Jets also dealt with 1144 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 2: a lot of injuries on this roster that's already awful. 1145 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 2: So I'm pretty confident in the Patriots winning. So if 1146 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 2: I had to do a teaser, I would tease them 1147 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 2: down and then I would look at maybe teasing the 1148 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 2: Bengals up in what should be a low scoring game 1149 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 2: points at a premium. It's the I know it's the 1150 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 2: Andy Dalton revenge game, but it's just a really bad 1151 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 2: week for teasers, and the Bengals line has even come down. 1152 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 2: But if you can get the Bengals, you know, from 1153 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 2: too one and a half over seven, and then teasing 1154 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,959 Speaker 2: with the Patriots to win, that's my favorite teaser option 1155 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 2: this week. But it's not a great teaser week. 1156 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of looked around and. 1157 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 5: Struggle to kind of find my two favorites, but I 1158 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 5: think I settled on two and one half is one 1159 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 5: of the ones you're going with, and that is the 1160 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 5: New England Patriots teasing them from six to zero against 1161 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 5: this Jets team. With it, if the Jets one of 1162 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 5: your best players just went down and Makai Becton Patriots 1163 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 5: defense still looked good. You know, they held the Dolphins 1164 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 5: to seventeen points. Probably could have played even better, and 1165 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 5: obviously they had some unfortunate turnovers on the other side. 1166 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 5: I don't think that happens against the Jets, I think, 1167 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 5: but I also at the same time, I think sixteen 1168 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 5: points maybe enough to beat the Jets for the second 1169 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 5: week in a row. I think it's gonna be a 1170 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 5: low scoring game. It's another total. I got at forty 1171 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 5: three and a half down to forty two now, so 1172 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 5: hope people got on that one. The Patriots on the road, 1173 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 5: they Belichick's master schemer, so no surprise that they're twenty 1174 00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 5: seven and thirteen toward the under on the road since 1175 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, so I love the under. Divisional unders also 1176 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 5: in week two are great, but you mentioned it Belichick 1177 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 5: coming off the loss forty four and twenty sixty nine 1178 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 5: percent against the spread, and then I'm gonna go with 1179 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 5: kind of a similar situation in just a. 1180 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 4: Matchup that I really like with a high total. 1181 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 5: So I like teasing it down just to get it 1182 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 5: into a reasonable range here because I think the Falcons 1183 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 5: are toasted against the Bucks. I know it's a divisional game. 1184 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 5: I know it's one of another spot where team got 1185 00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,200 Speaker 5: blown out in week one. Don't overreact, but I've been saying, 1186 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 5: like this Falcons team, they're like Arthur Smith. I love him, 1187 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 5: but this is not as talented as it used to be. 1188 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 5: I don't know if Matt Ryan is really a depth 1189 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 5: at playing without Julio, especially in this kind of You know, 1190 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,480 Speaker 5: the lines are middling on both sides, if not below average, 1191 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 5: which a lot of people will. 1192 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 4: Probably argue they are. 1193 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 5: So it's another similar matchup to Philly in the sense 1194 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 5: that you have the Falcons just getting out manned in 1195 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,440 Speaker 5: the trenches. I don't want any part of this twelve. 1196 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 4: But she liked the Bucks. She liked the Patriots, two 1197 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 4: teams I expect to win, probably handily. 1198 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 5: So that is going to wrap our teaser segment to 1199 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:54,919 Speaker 5: recap stuck going with the Patriots from six to zero 1200 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 5: and the Bengals from two and a half to eight. 1201 00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:57,680 Speaker 4: And a half. 1202 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 5: I'm going with the Patriots from six to zero the 1203 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 5: Bucks from twelve to six. All right, let's get into 1204 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 5: our money line underdog parlay turning good weekends into great weekends. 1205 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 4: It's time for the money line parlay. Ock Man. 1206 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 5: I'm hyped to to to go to this segment because 1207 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 5: we had a good start to the season. I think 1208 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 5: we ate was like a four to one parlay for 1209 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 5: the listeners with the Eagles plus one forty Addeduana being 1210 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 5: your pick and the Texans plus one thirty at home 1211 01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 5: against the Jags. 1212 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 4: Being my pick. So started off on a bang. How 1213 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 4: are we going to keep this going? Well? 1214 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 2: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Last week we 1215 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 2: had the Eagles. I am going back to the Eagles 1216 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 2: to throw them in our underdog money line parlay talked 1217 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 2: about that and I was in defense. We think is 1218 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 2: underrated injuries Sam are dealing with I don't think of 1219 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 2: being properly accounted for where I think this is closer 1220 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 2: to a coin flip game. I think the Eagles will 1221 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 2: have a good shot here, so let's throw them back in. 1222 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, so I'm going with the Eagles plus one 1223 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 2: thirty five. Now I'm curious to see, are you gonna 1224 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 2: throw the Texans in to go back to back? I 1225 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 2: hope not. 1226 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 5: I can't, man, even though I think the number might 1227 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,360 Speaker 5: be getting out of hand in that game. 1228 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 4: But like, the one thing is Cleveland was. 1229 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 5: Top three in offensive success rate against k against k C, 1230 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 5: who's so well schemed that that's still you know if Baker, 1231 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 5: like everyone's saying it, but it's it's true. You know, 1232 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 5: one Baker Mayfield mistake away, you know, one defensive mistake 1233 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 5: away for for Cleveland on the other side, or two, 1234 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 5: it could have been a different game. 1235 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,919 Speaker 4: So I wouldn't go there. We'll talk about that game. 1236 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 5: I thought about going with Jacksonville, I really did, because 1237 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 5: I just think the line is egregious. But Urban Meyer, 1238 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 5: I got it, I got it. I think you need 1239 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 5: to you need to get to win. The Jaguars went 1240 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 5: one in sixteen. I don't think the wine is high 1241 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 5: enough yet for me to go with you on the 1242 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 5: on the show. So I'm gonna go with a team 1243 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,959 Speaker 5: that I really think has a good chance of winning. 1244 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,440 Speaker 5: It's not as sexy because they're only at plus one 1245 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 5: ten at the Chicago Bears, but the Cincinnati Bengals. Listen, 1246 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 5: we saw the Bengals do it at home in Week one, 1247 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 5: so I don't want to overreact. I think the Bengals 1248 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 5: still have issues. I think they're still the worst team 1249 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 5: in that division. 1250 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,960 Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Bengals game roaring back. 1251 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 5: But I've been low on the Bears all off season. 1252 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 5: I saw nothing in Week one to make me change 1253 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 5: my mind. And everyone talks about the Andy Dalton revenge game. 1254 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 5: This is the Bengals revenge game. This is the Cincinnati 1255 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 5: revenge game for all the shit Andy Dalt, all the 1256 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,439 Speaker 5: mediocrity that Andy Dalton put him through over all these years, 1257 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 5: all the mediocrity and below averageness and early playoff exits 1258 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 5: and not making the playoffs and collapsing under pressure. I 1259 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 5: think think the Bengals got the better quarterback in this game, 1260 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 5: and outside of that, and I think these teams are 1261 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 5: pretty evenly batched. I don't like I probably because I'm 1262 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 5: lower on the Bears than the market. But you compare 1263 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 5: these two teams top to bottom, roster to roster, I 1264 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 5: say it's about a push, and the Bengals have the 1265 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 5: better quarterback. So give me the Bengals plus one ten. 1266 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 5: I think they beat the Chicago Bears in Chicago. 1267 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 2: Let's go back to back, Let's do it. 1268 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 4: Oh thank you, That's exactly the response I'm looking for. 1269 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 4: All right. 1270 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 5: So that wraps it up for our Week two moneyline 1271 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 5: underdog Parway. It's always nice to be one to zero 1272 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 5: on the season. Start going with the Eagles plus one 1273 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 5: thirty five. I'm going with the Bengals plus one ten. 1274 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 5: Now let's get into the best of the rest, which 1275 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 5: are the games that we did not hit on in 1276 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 5: any other segment. All right, let's start with a game 1277 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 5: we briefly touched on, Cleveland hosting Houston. Cleveland twelve and 1278 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,400 Speaker 5: a half point favorites. The total is forty eight. Any 1279 01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 5: thoughts on this one stuck? 1280 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 2: Now, I mean, don make it right around here. There's 1281 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,320 Speaker 2: part of me thinks that Cleveland they have a roster 1282 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 2: that's kind of built to blow out teams. They're bad teams, 1283 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 2: I should say, because they can run it, and they 1284 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,360 Speaker 2: run it so well that they can just keep piling 1285 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 2: on points against a really bad team and a really 1286 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 2: bad defense in Houston that could come crashing back down 1287 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 2: to earth here. But look, they have a lot of 1288 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,320 Speaker 2: confidence here. They might just throw shit against so much, 1289 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 2: some trick plays they already want to know Cleveland, after 1290 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 2: that Kansas City lost, maybe they come out of tat flat. 1291 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 2: I make it around thirteen. Wouldn't be surprised if the 1292 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 2: Browns win by thirty. Also, wouldn't be surprised if you 1293 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 2: know they struggle early and they win by seven to ten. 1294 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,919 Speaker 2: I make the line right around where it is pure 1295 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 2: pass for me. But Cleveland, if you want to go, 1296 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,920 Speaker 2: Chalky's a state should be a state survivor pick. 1297 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, Houston actually played Cleveland ten to seven last year. 1298 01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:56,919 Speaker 5: I think it was a win game where Nick Chubb 1299 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,600 Speaker 5: stepped out, so it probably could have been seventeen. 1300 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 2: Thank you four and a half. 1301 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think I had plus three and a 1302 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,240 Speaker 5: half so it was even tighter for me. But yeah, 1303 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 5: that thanks Nick Chubb. But yeah, too big of a line, 1304 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,320 Speaker 5: I think to bet. Cleveland also dealing with some injuries. 1305 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 5: I mean Odell Beckham was gonna miss a second straight week. 1306 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 5: Will we had Jidrich Wills. Look, you know he's not 1307 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 5: practicing Wednesday, but it could be serious. He could be 1308 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 5: out and then Treder and uh, who is a teller 1309 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 5: I think or also miss Wednesday practice. 1310 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 4: That's probably not a big deal, but not ideal. 1311 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 5: You know, I could definitely see Cleveland kind of taking 1312 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 5: Houston a little way. Although they are they will be 1313 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 5: hungry to get that win that they gave away against Case. 1314 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:43,800 Speaker 4: So I just I just don't want to bet on 1315 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 4: Cleveland as a twelve and a half point favorite. It's 1316 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:46,360 Speaker 4: just too much. 1317 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 5: But I agree survivor pick maybe a tease, but I'd 1318 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 5: rather just wait and see on Houston since they did 1319 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 5: outperform expectations in week one and just kind of stay 1320 01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 5: away from this one. 1321 01:05:58,720 --> 01:05:59,440 Speaker 4: Let's go to. 1322 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 5: Buffalo at Miami. The Bills off that upset at home 1323 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,160 Speaker 5: to Pittsburgh, now going on the road, still giving three 1324 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 5: and the hook here, I mean stuck. Buffalo had a 1325 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 5: lot of success on offense against Miami, which maybe it's 1326 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 5: due to the fact that Buffalo can run out you know, 1327 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 5: those four wide receiver sets, and Miami has two good 1328 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 5: corners but not four good corners. But some about this 1329 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 5: Buffalo offense tends to have Miami. But you're still talking 1330 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 5: about a division divisional home dog getting three and a 1331 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 5: half a week two. What do you think of this one? 1332 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1333 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 2: I mean I took Buffalo last week when these lines 1334 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 2: first popped, but it was up two and a half. 1335 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,160 Speaker 2: I wouldn't take three and a half. Now, I wouldn't 1336 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 2: like three and a half. I should say, do you 1337 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 2: get under a field goal? I like it? I mean again, 1338 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 2: Miami's turner to luck has to come to an end eventually. 1339 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 2: They won by one last week because of two fumbles, 1340 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 2: one which wasn't a fumble. It first did two fumbles 1341 01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 2: on twenty five percent of New England's possessions. Last year, 1342 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 2: they led the NFL with forcing turnovers on sixteen percent 1343 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,200 Speaker 2: of opponent possessions. Bill's really odd game last week. They 1344 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 2: were the better team statistical. They had a punt block, 1345 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 2: but they weren't themselves and part of that was Feliciano 1346 01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 2: and Dulks tackled. Were just really bad. And part of 1347 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 2: that COVID are they not fit? That remains to be seen. 1348 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 2: I think you see Zach Boss activated to help with 1349 01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 2: fast blocking and protection this week. But the Bills went 1350 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 2: man sixty percent of the time as a zone team. 1351 01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 2: Last year, they went four wide all last year. They 1352 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 2: went they played eleven personnel the entire game. You know, 1353 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 2: they were number one in the NFL and play action 1354 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:46,640 Speaker 2: rate last year like eighteen percent Week one, And it's 1355 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 2: very bizarre some of the things that I saw. Now 1356 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 2: it's only one game, and they were playing against a 1357 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 2: really good defensive line that was mauling them. Miami can't 1358 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 2: do what Pittsburgh did. I think Buffalo bounce is back here, 1359 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 2: but I can't. You can't. I can't lay over three 1360 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 2: and a half if you can get under three. I 1361 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 2: like the spot enough and to play it. Miami still 1362 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 2: has issues on offense. They didn't really do much last week. 1363 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 2: They just basically scored. They scored all touchdowns I got. 1364 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 2: They scored both times I got into the red zone, 1365 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 2: and they got some fortunate fumbles, one which wasn't a fumble. 1366 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,519 Speaker 2: Defense is going to be good, but you're right. I 1367 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:25,839 Speaker 2: think Buffalo can spread them out and have some success 1368 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 2: on offense, and I think you get a good effort 1369 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 2: from a defense that I'm high on. The defensive looked 1370 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:34,759 Speaker 2: good last week against Pittsburgh. So I like the Bills, 1371 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 2: but not laying over three numbers matter. 1372 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,600 Speaker 4: What do you think of the total because like the 1373 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,759 Speaker 4: you know in the past when. 1374 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,000 Speaker 5: Josh Allen wasn't as good, I've targeted. 1375 01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 4: You know the unders. 1376 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 5: When Buffalo goes on the road, they tend to play 1377 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,640 Speaker 5: really good defense, be schemed, and you do have this, 1378 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 5: you know week two divisional under trend. Both of these 1379 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 5: teams kind of underperformed on offense in Week one. Any 1380 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 5: thoughts on on the total here, I have no idea. 1381 01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:58,639 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying. 1382 01:08:58,720 --> 01:08:59,280 Speaker 1: I have the under. 1383 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 2: I played the under the Eagles under with you, and 1384 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:06,519 Speaker 2: I played the Raiders under small. I have this about right, 1385 01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,479 Speaker 2: But I'm also trying to be cautions unders, trying to 1386 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,959 Speaker 2: get you know, the home crowd impact. Are there any penalties? 1387 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 2: They're trying to emphasize fourth down aggressiveness, by the way 1388 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 2: on coin flip decisions where you know, could have win 1389 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 2: either way one week, but going for it doubled last 1390 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,599 Speaker 2: week compared to last year. So teams are getting even 1391 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 2: more aggressive for that. So I'm trying to be cautions 1392 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 2: with totals, don't I don't know. I'm trying to get 1393 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 2: a feel for what Buffalo is gonna do. The offensive 1394 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,680 Speaker 2: line does scare me a bit, so I don't have 1395 01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 2: a real good feel on the total here. 1396 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, it seemed high at first glance, but then I 1397 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 5: thought back to Buffalo having an offensive success against Miami 1398 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,360 Speaker 5: last year. But then I thought back to Buffalo like 1399 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 5: essentially stepping on its own feet with its offensive game 1400 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,120 Speaker 5: plan last week. So yeah, I'm probably off of this 1401 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,280 Speaker 5: this game. But it's it's weird because you mentioned they 1402 01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 5: played one one person out pretty much the whole game, 1403 01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 5: which is three wide receivers went back when tight end 1404 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,040 Speaker 5: Gabriel Davis didn't get hurt until what was it like 1405 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 5: the second third quarter, so it's not like somebody got 1406 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 5: hurt and they're like, okay, you know, now we got 1407 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 5: to go to one one personel because they also were 1408 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 5: using Mackenzie as more of a running back because they 1409 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 5: deactivated Moss, So I don't know what that was about, if. 1410 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 4: That was the game. 1411 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were playing they played Sanders over him 1412 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 2: Davis in eleven almost the entire time. 1413 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, So it didn't make like a ton of 1414 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,040 Speaker 5: that was surprising in itself because I think Davis is 1415 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,760 Speaker 5: their second best receiver. Bes we played and pretty much 1416 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:33,760 Speaker 5: every snap, which was interesting. Just some new things that 1417 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 5: didn't go exactly as Buffalo plans. 1418 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 4: So maybe we see them switch it back up to 1419 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 4: what work last year. 1420 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 5: But yeah, I think it's got to be a wait 1421 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 5: and see as a better There's nothing that screams like 1422 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 5: edge in West. Like you said, Buffalo goes down under 1423 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:51,599 Speaker 5: a field goal, which probably doesn't happen. Okay, next game, 1424 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,560 Speaker 5: Chargers minus three and a half at home against the 1425 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,839 Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys total fifty five at bet MGM, the official 1426 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:00,600 Speaker 5: odds provider of the podcast. 1427 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,599 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. I liked Dallas. 1428 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 5: That's another team I thought about taking for my money 1429 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,720 Speaker 5: mine dog. And then as we're getting set to record this, 1430 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:12,640 Speaker 5: you know, DeMarcus Lawrence go. 1431 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 4: You know, he's the word is. 1432 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,559 Speaker 5: He's gonna be out and definitely and you know defensive 1433 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 5: players aren't gonna affect the spread too too much. But 1434 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 5: I look at you know, Dallas and what they did 1435 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,560 Speaker 5: in Week one, and you know they were able to 1436 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,680 Speaker 5: hang with Tampa, which is why you know, consider them 1437 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,360 Speaker 5: against the Chargers here in this spot. But DeMarcus Lawrence 1438 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:39,400 Speaker 5: on defense got five pressures for the defense. No one 1439 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,320 Speaker 5: else got more than three, so he had almost double 1440 01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 5: pressures of anyone else. He had a team high U 1441 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 5: ninety one point four defensive grade from. 1442 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 4: Pro Football Focus. 1443 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,560 Speaker 5: No one else got higher than a seventy four, So 1444 01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 5: I mean, he was just massive on this defense. That's 1445 01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 5: not a real talented defense, not a real great defense 1446 01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,439 Speaker 5: that is being coordinated by Dan Quinn, who I mean 1447 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 5: after seeing him these last few years and then seeing 1448 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:05,879 Speaker 5: what Raheem. 1449 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,960 Speaker 4: Morris was able to do. In his place. 1450 01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,600 Speaker 5: I think there's questions about him. So now I'm just 1451 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 5: off of it. I mean, there could be a lot 1452 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 5: of points here in this chance. Maybe the only thing 1453 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 5: I can say, but what do you think? 1454 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you got this total early, great, But yeah, 1455 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,680 Speaker 2: I mean Gregory might be out to both defensive ends 1456 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,680 Speaker 2: are out, and it's a Dallas defense. It's if it's 1457 01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 2: gonna be good, it's gonna take some time. Based me, 1458 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:27,679 Speaker 2: so off, you got to remember they were right there 1459 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,679 Speaker 2: with Tampa. They got three turnovers and they were fluky. 1460 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,560 Speaker 2: There were some fluky turnovers in that game. So but 1461 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,800 Speaker 2: you have to get the Dallas offense looked spectacular. Dak 1462 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 2: looked fully healthy and phenomenal, and I really like the 1463 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 2: game plan. The offensive play calling was great. They basically said, 1464 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 2: you're not going to run against Tampa. Let's you can't, 1465 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 2: so let's just throw out the entire game. Love that, 1466 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 2: But now you lose Lyyle Collins. And this is a 1467 01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 2: huge problem last year with their tackles. I mean, he's 1468 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 2: appealing suspension. He's not playing this week. If you lose 1469 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:03,120 Speaker 2: your starting right tackle, you lose Michael Gallop. You know, 1470 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,320 Speaker 2: a good reliable clutch receiver. I love him in the 1471 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,560 Speaker 2: clutch late in games, so you know you're missing a 1472 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 2: lot of these pieces. You do have a couple extra 1473 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,160 Speaker 2: days of prep and rest against a team that played, 1474 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 2: you know, a West Coast team that played on the 1475 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 2: East Coast last week. But I made this right, you know, 1476 01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,799 Speaker 2: under a field goal, and then with all these injuries 1477 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 2: and adjustments, it's probably it's going to be right over 1478 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,639 Speaker 2: a field goal. Now the total is has been priced, 1479 01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,840 Speaker 2: has been bet up to where I think it should be. 1480 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,680 Speaker 2: This surpassed for me, should be an entertaining game, but 1481 01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:37,799 Speaker 2: I won't be involved from a betting perspective. 1482 01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'd even be careful with like, like I think, 1483 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 5: you know, Dak with great considering what the lack of 1484 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 5: practice time and the fact that he has two separate injuries, 1485 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 5: and also considering that, you know a lot of guys 1486 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 5: have been trying to come back from leg injuries and 1487 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 5: it hasn't gone as fast. But at the same time, 1488 01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,400 Speaker 5: he's still averaged six point nine yards per attempt. I mean, 1489 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 5: he threw fifty eight times, so a lot of people 1490 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 5: are looking at that and yet another four injer of 1491 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,839 Speaker 5: yard game and they're saying in three touchdowns. 1492 01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Dak played great. I mean, he played good, 1493 01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 4: but he's still we're contained. 1494 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 5: And just just speaks to why I like Teas in 1495 01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:15,439 Speaker 5: Tampa Bay against the Falcons, they still held this Cowboys offense. 1496 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 4: They threw for four inner yards, still under seven yards 1497 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:17,720 Speaker 4: in the ten. 1498 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 5: So I like the Cowboys, but if they are not 1499 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 5: gonna have any semblance of defense to where they can 1500 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 5: force those kind of turnovers or make Justin Herbert throw 1501 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,679 Speaker 5: the ball, I mean fumble ahead of the end zone. 1502 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,680 Speaker 4: Now, yeah, it's just a pass for me, all right. 1503 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 4: And then we got to talk about this one a 1504 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,040 Speaker 4: little bit. We'll wrap it up after this. 1505 01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,400 Speaker 5: But your Baltimore Ravens coming off a tough Week one 1506 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 5: loss hosting the Kansas City Chiefs, I guess the way 1507 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:51,800 Speaker 5: I want to what I want to talk to you 1508 01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 5: about the most, Like, I felt like the market was 1509 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 5: always too high on the Ravens in these matchups. 1510 01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,759 Speaker 4: Now they're all close. Look, the first two were close. 1511 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,719 Speaker 5: Games, right, and then the last one was a blowout, 1512 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,400 Speaker 5: fourteen point game. But I've always been impressed with what 1513 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 5: the Chiefs have been able to do defensively despite not 1514 01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 5: really having a great defense. Just schematically, I always felt 1515 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 5: like they played really well against Lamar. They forced him 1516 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,600 Speaker 5: to do things that he didn't want to do, and 1517 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 5: they had success. Now, I don't like what I saw 1518 01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:23,600 Speaker 5: out of Casey's defens. 1519 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 4: In Week one. I thought Lamar looked, even though it 1520 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:27,879 Speaker 4: didn't always show up on the statue. 1521 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 5: I thought he looked probably the best he's ever had 1522 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,639 Speaker 5: at parts of that Raiders game, and then at others, 1523 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,639 Speaker 5: you know, he turned them all over and that's that's 1524 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:37,840 Speaker 5: gonna cost you. But so I'm curious to hear how 1525 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 5: you think this Ravens offense matches up with with Spags 1526 01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:42,880 Speaker 5: and the Chiefs. 1527 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 2: D Yeah. I mean they've lost the last three years 1528 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,040 Speaker 2: and they've allowed over five hundred yards right around right 1529 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 2: under five hundred ards per game for the Chiefs to gain. 1530 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 2: And last I agree, Lamar looked pretty good last week. 1531 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 2: The problem was the offensive line, I mean, Villa in 1532 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 2: the way of them moving to right tackle bring him in, 1533 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,479 Speaker 2: Ronnie Stanley coming off an injury, and Ronnie Ston's In 1534 01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 2: All Pro they ranked seventy fifth and seventy ninth in 1535 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 2: pass blocking out of seventy nine tackles. 1536 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:11,240 Speaker 4: OH got. 1537 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 2: In Week one, they were awful. You know, in twenty twenty, 1538 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,880 Speaker 2: they were you know, Stanley was ninety one passing grade 1539 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,600 Speaker 2: on a lay this seventy eight. So that's one of 1540 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,800 Speaker 2: the major problems. The other thing, I don't think that, Look, 1541 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 2: you have to throw out a lot of what we 1542 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 2: saw from the Raids, and they were leading seventeen to 1543 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,880 Speaker 2: ten before a fumble with you know, ten minutes ago 1544 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 2: in the fourth. But they had a lot of you know, 1545 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,240 Speaker 2: Peters went out with an injury, Gus Edwards. This is 1546 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,680 Speaker 2: the week of the game, and you already lost all 1547 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 2: these backs. So the mesh point was a mess. The 1548 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 2: offensive line, so they and they went really simple in 1549 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 2: their play calling. They didn't call them any design lamar runs. 1550 01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:49,640 Speaker 2: They weren't in the pistol a lot. I know that 1551 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,639 Speaker 2: they were experimenting more with under the center runs in camp, 1552 01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 2: but I think that they were like, you know, they 1553 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,439 Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of time to work together, and 1554 01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 2: you know, they knew they had the Chiefs coming up. 1555 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 2: So I think the off will look a lot better 1556 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,880 Speaker 2: this week. But it is a short week coming back 1557 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:08,720 Speaker 2: from Vegas. It doesn't help against Andy Reid, who's the 1558 01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 2: most profitable coach against the spread on the road and 1559 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,040 Speaker 2: the Chiefs defense is terrible. They should get Frank Clark back. 1560 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 2: With Frank Clark's terrible, they should get Honey Badger back, 1561 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 2: which is big who missed last week. I think they 1562 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,120 Speaker 2: just held him out being cautious. But what has happened 1563 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,519 Speaker 2: in these games is the Ravens have fallen behind. And 1564 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:27,880 Speaker 2: the Ravens can just line up in this game and 1565 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,519 Speaker 2: they can run it right down the Chief's throat. The 1566 01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 2: problem is are they going to get behind? And the 1567 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 2: reason always get behind is they blitz. They all out blitz. 1568 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 2: That's what Martindale does. He did it against Car. The 1569 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:43,800 Speaker 2: car loves playing against the blitz. Just these all out 1570 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 2: cover zero blitzes. Everyone is coming, leave the corners on islands. 1571 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes eats up blitzes with his eyes closed and 1572 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 2: for fun. 1573 01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:54,640 Speaker 4: So you can't do that. 1574 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 2: But the Ravens, do you change your whole identity for 1575 01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:01,640 Speaker 2: this game? I think yes, But in the past they 1576 01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 2: haven't shown that they will do that. It's all all 1577 01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,720 Speaker 2: up to them to make the adjustments here. But you know, 1578 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 2: I think the defense is still a top five unit. 1579 01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 2: It will be fine. Jimmy Smith will see if he 1580 01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 2: comes back, that'll be big, specifically against covering Kelsey. He'll 1581 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,759 Speaker 2: probably leave him on Kelsey the entire game freeze up, Humphrey. 1582 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,720 Speaker 2: But are they gonna blitz all out Blitzer? Are they 1583 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,600 Speaker 2: gonna say We're gonna sit back, which is what you 1584 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,680 Speaker 2: need to do. We've seen the Chargers do it. You 1585 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 2: need to sit back, let Mahomes work underneath and make 1586 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,200 Speaker 2: them drive the field and then get natural pressure. The 1587 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 2: problem is the Ravens don't have good edge rush natural 1588 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 2: edge rush, so you're kind of caught in this catch 1589 01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,880 Speaker 2: twenty two of all right, I need all we do 1590 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 2: is we blitz all the time, all out. But you're 1591 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 2: playing against Mahomes and the Chief's weapons. He's gonna eat 1592 01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 2: you a lot. So then you said we're gonna sit back, 1593 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:48,840 Speaker 2: but then we have no one can get pressure and 1594 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 2: I'm just sits there and you can't guard the Chiefs forever. 1595 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,200 Speaker 2: So what needs to happen here? This is the first 1596 01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,560 Speaker 2: time that the Ravens have played the Chiefs, and you know, 1597 01:18:58,640 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 2: then two of the game one of them went to 1598 01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 2: time in Kansas City. But they've gotten behind in all 1599 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 2: of them. But this is the first time they've played 1600 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,640 Speaker 2: Kansas City at home in front of fans, so and 1601 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 2: they're gonna be desperate. The fans are gonna be raucous 1602 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 2: Sunday night. They need to come out and get a 1603 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,160 Speaker 2: lead right away. They need to use that energy and 1604 01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 2: they need to go up seven to nothing, get a 1605 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,759 Speaker 2: stop up ten nothing. And the Ravens are front runners, 1606 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,839 Speaker 2: right they they're not good at playing from behind because 1607 01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 2: then they have to throw, and you know it's they 1608 01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,640 Speaker 2: need to run the ball, control the clock. Then you 1609 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:32,680 Speaker 2: can be aggressive on defense. But the Chiefs attack their 1610 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 2: attacking style and that's that's that's how they've had such success. 1611 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,040 Speaker 2: So but then again, this line I had to play 1612 01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 2: the Ravens. It's a terrible matchup from a defensive perspective, 1613 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 2: but this line is crazy to look. I mean, this 1614 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,080 Speaker 2: is a pick minus one of the preseason. Uh, you know, 1615 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,080 Speaker 2: after adjusting for some of the injuries and some of 1616 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:51,640 Speaker 2: the things I'm worried about the Ravens. You know, I 1617 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 2: make it two two and a half. I got four 1618 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 2: earlier today. I had to take it. The Chiefs get 1619 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,680 Speaker 2: way behind. You can always take the Chiefs live the 1620 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,800 Speaker 2: chief Andy Reid's always been great against the spread, Mahome 1621 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 2: has always been great against the said, well, they're two 1622 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,439 Speaker 2: and ten against the spread in their in their past 1623 01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,560 Speaker 2: twelve games. This is crazy st that they're oh and 1624 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,800 Speaker 2: eight against the spread the last eight times they've been 1625 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,720 Speaker 2: favored by more than a field goal, yet they've won 1626 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,639 Speaker 2: all eight games. So they're gonna win by a field 1627 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 2: but they come back and they win by a field goal. 1628 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 2: Because you can never can count the Chiefs out. But 1629 01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 2: they're literally oh and eight against the spread as a 1630 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,840 Speaker 2: favorite more than a field you know, I think that 1631 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:26,600 Speaker 2: everyone knows look good the Chiefs are. Everyone wants to 1632 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,560 Speaker 2: bet on Mahomes. You're they're generally over valued by a 1633 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,320 Speaker 2: point or two. You know, was the case in the 1634 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 2: Browns game until it got bet down right before kick. 1635 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 2: I had to take the four. And you have to 1636 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 2: hope is that the Ravens is gonna lead. They should 1637 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 2: be able to run the ball at well, but if 1638 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 2: they have to play from behind, we've already seen the 1639 01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:46,759 Speaker 2: pass protection as a little iffy. That's when Spags's defense 1640 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,280 Speaker 2: will excel. So it's a fascinating chess match of who 1641 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:49,800 Speaker 2: can get off. 1642 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 5: It has to be a pass for me, just because 1643 01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:56,519 Speaker 5: I'm worried about the Ravens in this spot. I'm I 1644 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 5: always tend to be higher on the Chiefs and lower 1645 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 5: on the Ravens in their matchup because I just think 1646 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 5: the Chiefs know how to scheme on defense against Lamar. 1647 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,679 Speaker 5: It doesn't make me feel any better that the Ravens 1648 01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,160 Speaker 5: are up seventeen to seven in a game in the 1649 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 5: fourth quarter and lost. I know a lot of wonky 1650 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 5: things happen, but doesn't make me feel any better. And then, 1651 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,840 Speaker 5: like the Chiefs I would need I wouldn't even want 1652 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:24,600 Speaker 5: the two and a half, even though I think the 1653 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,439 Speaker 5: Chiefs win this game. I wouldn't even want the two 1654 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,280 Speaker 5: and a half because I don't trust Bucker to make 1655 01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 5: extra points. So now you're talking about I would need 1656 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 5: like a one and a half to come in on 1657 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 5: the Chiefs, which is not happening. 1658 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,760 Speaker 4: But I'm just not there with the Ravens right now. 1659 01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 5: You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they get it together, 1660 01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:44,880 Speaker 5: But I also don't know, like what is your general 1661 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:50,640 Speaker 5: thought on like Lamar bounce bounce it back because he 1662 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 5: had a tough game, but the Ravens are just one 1663 01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,799 Speaker 5: and four against the spread after a loss Lamar, Jackson 1664 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 5: Era and Harbaugh overall against the spread after a loft, 1665 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,080 Speaker 5: you would think, because he's one of the better coaches 1666 01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,639 Speaker 5: in the league, you know, one of those good numbers 1667 01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,559 Speaker 5: after a loss, like a Zimmer Belichick. He's just twenty 1668 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 5: and twenty seven against the spread forty three percent in 1669 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,839 Speaker 5: his career. So any thoughts on just how the Ravens 1670 01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 5: have been to bounce back. I know you're more dialed 1671 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 5: in on them than pretty much any other team. 1672 01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's much to that 1673 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 2: at all. I mean, they've had streaks where they've had 1674 01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,320 Speaker 2: a lot of injuries, which I think of that the 1675 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 2: market didn't properly account for, specifically in the secondary. So 1676 01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 2: they've had some rough stretches. But and Lamar sample size 1677 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 2: is just too small, tighty. But I think that he looked, 1678 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 2: you know, he looked great last week. The question is 1679 01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,639 Speaker 2: can he get time and we'll see what the Ravens 1680 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,760 Speaker 2: offense has cooked up. We'll see what Greg Roman had 1681 01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,680 Speaker 2: saved for the Chiefs. I assume there's going to be 1682 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 2: some some nuance and some wrinkles, but they can't fall 1683 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,439 Speaker 2: too far behind otherwise it's lights out again. 1684 01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:59,559 Speaker 4: Dammy Watkins, give him some intel. 1685 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,080 Speaker 2: Maybe Mey Wawkins revenge game. 1686 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,040 Speaker 4: All right, now, let's close it out with our Survivor 1687 01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:10,640 Speaker 4: pick of the week one pick one chance to advance. 1688 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 1: Survivor. 1689 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 5: You're going with the Browns, I'm gonna go with the Packers. 1690 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with the Packers. Browns would be my 1691 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:21,680 Speaker 5: second choice, but I looked at the Browns schedule and 1692 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:25,320 Speaker 5: there's a couple of spots where I would still take 1693 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 5: them down the road. Whereas the Packers, I mean outside 1694 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,360 Speaker 5: of I think they play a Lions in Week seventeen 1695 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 5: given what we saw, I don't you know, I mean 1696 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,799 Speaker 5: their top heavy team. You lose Adams, to lose Davante, 1697 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 5: maybe you run away with the division again. I don't 1698 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,120 Speaker 5: know if that Week seventeen is gonna be in play. 1699 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 4: I think the. 1700 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 5: Lions are even probably maybe even worse than the Texans, 1701 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 5: even though you know Lions put up a fight at 1702 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,360 Speaker 5: the end. So going with the Packers to bounce back 1703 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 5: because I don't know if I'm gonna want to play 1704 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,720 Speaker 5: him again. Hopefully that works out for both of us 1705 01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 5: and we keep it going and week two would be 1706 01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,599 Speaker 5: surprised if we don't.
