This is about trolling you because the bookmakers. 31 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look, last night was amazing. It was the 32 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Rams Chiefs. It was Monday Night football. The total on 33 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: the game was sixty three. The Rams and Chiefs combined 34 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: for sixty nine points in the second half. The first 35 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: half total was thirty one. They scored thirty six, The 36 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: second half total thirty five. They scored sixty nine. The 37 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: total total sixty three.

The total on Jared Goff touchdowns was two 40 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: and a half. He had four. The total on Patrick 41 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes was two and a half he had six um 42 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: scooch no bueno man, No, No, it was bad. It 43 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: was it was ugly and the game and the game 44 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: fell three, which is not good too. So but this 45 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: it just we've seen higher and higher total throughout the year. 46 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: We're seeing way more offense. We knew this was gonna 47 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: be a track meet just setting the total. But when 48 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: when teams start putting up a hundred points in a game, 49 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, how high are we supposed to make these totals? Um? 50 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: I kind of I heard a little bit about it 51 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: in some of my meetings today. They're like, you know, 52 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: what were you guys thinking hanging sixty three games should 53 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: have been eighty three? I mean that those are arena 54 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 1: football numbers. Uh. You know, I was watching some tweets 55 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: come across last night and uh, it looked like, you know, 56 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: a seven on seven flag football kind of you know, 57 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: just every play just you know, touchdown. So I don't 58 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: know how you're supposed to handicap those in terms of 59 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: the totals. So what are you supposed to do? Like 60 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: you've got you've got Here's a question I was asked today. 61 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: As you know, I am the chief content officer for 62 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: the Action Network.

Today I was on a radio show in Houston, 68 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows, Okay and Um. The host 69 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: asked me, Uh, what if if there was a Super 70 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Bowl between the Chiefs and the Rams, what do you 71 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: think the total would be? What? I hadn't thought of 72 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: the question as soon as he asked it. My first 73 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: instinct was seventy and based on just what the number 74 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: was for this game and whether or not there would 75 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: be a repeat performance. Uh, and you only made it 76 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: some touchdown higher than what it was yesterday. Do you 77 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: think I should have gone higher? I think so. You 78 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: want to take me hi? Uh? You would one? So 79 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: right now you're saying to me, this is crazy. You're 80 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: saying to me if the Rams and the Chiefs playing 81 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, you would set the line at what 82 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: seventy three? Well, dude, don't don't insult me for saying 83 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: seventy and then be like seventy three You can insult 84 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: me if you're like, I'm making it eighty three like 85 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: Big Tony and everybody else, so I have to work 86 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: for told me it should be, But you can't say 87 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: seventy three. I would split it. Not, I would split 88 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: the difference. I think we have to go eighty on 89 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: this game. Your face is seventy three. I mean, the 90 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: only the only thing that the Super Bowls generally, the 91 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: first halves are lower scoring because there's a lot of 92 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: a lot of nerves involved, a lot of kind of 93 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: feeling everything out, and then the second halves usually explode. 94 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: So that would be the one saving grace for making 95 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: it lower than eighty. But uh, they would still put 96 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: up sixty seventy points in the second half alone. Do 97 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: you feel like you will see a total this year 98 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: at seventy points? No, No, you know, the reality is 99 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: we still have to inch it up. You know, it's 100 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: all joking aside. I'd like to make it that high, 101 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: but for for these regular season games, we're going to 102 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: have to just keep you know, sixty sixty six, sixty 103 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: seven and inch it up. We'll rely on a lot 104 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: of the professional handicappers to kind of validate our number. 105 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Last night when we hung thirty five in the second 106 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: half that they pounded the under the Sharp guys, they 107 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: pounded it, and we we we want more on the 108 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: second half than uh probably any any Monday Night halftime 109 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: this year, just on that total. Uh So you know, 110 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: it's when they start betting the over with the public 111 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: that we're kind of in trouble. And I saw that 112 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: a little bit with one of the totals we hung 113 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: this week with the Falcons and the Saints, and uh 114 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: we hung fifty nine and not we knew the public 115 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: is going to be on you know, Saints Falcon's over, 116 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: but the Sharp guys betted over as well. So that's 117 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: that's when we start getting in trouble when when they're 118 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: they're betting the same side as the public. Fifty nine, 119 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: honest to God, as a total for the Saints Falcons, 120 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: it feels quaint, do you know what I mean? Well, 121 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: sixty one now it feels charming, like, oh cute, they're 122 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, making it sixty one. That game is gonna 123 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: land at sixty nine or seventy. It's gonna be like 124 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: one is going to be an absolute shootout on Thursday. Yeah, Hey, 125 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm afraid you're I'm afraid you're right. How much did 126 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: you how much did you lose in this game? Did 127 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: you get killed in this game? Do you get killed 128 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: in this money night game? We've had worse, We've had 129 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: worse this year. I think that the fact that, uh, um, 130 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: we had a you know, a decent Sunday save the 131 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: fact that there wasn't a lot of liability going into 132 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: Monday Night. So that's what usually determines how bad our 133 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: Monday nights ares, how bad Sundays are, And you had 134 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: a pretty good Sunday. Uh, you know, the Steelers didn't 135 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: cover the who else didn't cover? Is the Chargers didn't cover? Um, 136 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: what were some other big favorites. I mean, the Saints 137 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: covered big, but that money was coming in on Philadelphia, 138 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: so you got saved there and the Bears covered, but 139 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: I don't think you were probably getting a huge money 140 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: on the Bears. So yeah, that that was deceivingly bad. 141 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of late money came in 142 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: on the Bears, and we lost a little bit more 143 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: on that game than I thought we'd lose for Sunday 144 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: Night game. Usually, you know, the Sunday night games favorite 145 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: and over is usually bad. But because it was the Vikings. 146 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: We were getting a lot of early money on the 147 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: Vikings during the week, and but then it just all 148 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: came in late, and so we we gave a lot 149 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: back on the Sunday night game. You know what hurt me? 150 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: I had the Chiefs of the money line. Oh well, 151 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: you know what they say, what's the right side? Is 152 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: the winning side? Yeah, I've heard that. So there's no 153 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: such things a tough feat. You're either right or you're wrong. 154 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: Last night I was wrong last night you were wrong? 155 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Why was I wrong? Because? Yeah, on the total? Yeah, 156 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: way wrong on the total. Way, But what are you 157 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: supposed to do? It's like a college basketball game. Let's 158 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: say we hang you seven on a you know, Duke 159 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: North Carolina and they two hundred points. Are we supposed 160 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: to say the next time that that they play, We're 161 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: supposed to make the toll two hundred? Well? Why not? Though? 162 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Like if the if the Rams, seriously, if the Rams 163 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs playing the Super Bowl, any line you 164 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: set under seventy is going to be bed over right, 165 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: any line you set, you are gonna be lopsided. You're 166 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: gonna need the under for your lungs.

That is 180 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: not a fun day for me, And it doesn't. It's 181 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: just it's like Sunday on steroids for me. Like Sundays 182 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: are not good days now. Even if we have good Sundays, 183 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: they're not They're not fun days for me. They're just 184 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: it's just a lot of work and a lot of 185 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: anxiety and a lot of just tension. So so Thanksgiving 186 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: is just more of the same. Plus you've got your family, 187 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: plus I got my family. Yeah.

I'm like, why do you make me 197 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: sound like an ogre? Well you must be an ogre, 198 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: I guess, so it must be really horrible. They you know, 199 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: they can read body language. You know, she can probably 200 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: read your expressions, so she's anticipating the next time. By 201 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: the way, you said, they about women as if they're 202 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: like I wanted to take that back if it came 203 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: out of my mouth, as it came out, as if 204 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: they are a different species with like a different kind 205 00:13:53,920 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: of sensory perception that us mere men cannot a man gin. 206 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: They are at a higher level. They can they can 207 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: sense fear, that's what you're saying. What are you doing 208 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: right now about the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lines? 209 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Do you take that game off the board for Thursday? No? 210 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: I should have though, so actually that was I was 211 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: trying to deal with the parlay cards that had already 212 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: gone to the printers to try and change the line, 213 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: but I couldn't. Uh went on once it goes to press, 214 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean that the cards are being printed, so money 215 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: was just pouring in and it's a little toold. On 216 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: Hold on, my wife is calling me right now. It's 217 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: not only can she sense fear and body language, but 218 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: she knows when I'm talking about her in the best 219 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: possible way. Oh my god, go ahead and take that. 220 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I don't want her on the 221 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: podcasting's only and for me, her ears must have been 222 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: burning seriously, right, yeah, Stacy's the best. Um, please continue. 223 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: I apologize because the reason I'm asking that question is 224 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: because Mitch Drabinsky did not practice, and there's fears about 225 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: his availability for the game, and and that was the thing. 226 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: So we were you know, every Thanksgiving they bet the favorite, 227 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: so we all automatically hang a lot of these popular 228 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: favorites high. So the Bears are probably a point higher 229 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: than what they would normally be, and Cowboys are a 230 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: little higher and Saints are a lot higher. So we 231 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: already hung the Bears four and a half. And uh, 232 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: as predicted, a lot of the public money was coming 233 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: in on the Bears. But the sharp guys took the 234 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: four and a half. Now that was before any news 235 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: on on Mr Drobiski. They had already taken the plus 236 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: four and a half. They must have gotten they as 237 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: soon as he didn't practice. They before we even got 238 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: word of it. Uh, they took plus four, They took 239 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: three and a half, They took three and a half. 240 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Even money I just went down to three on the game. 241 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: So I went from four and a half to three 242 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: probably in the last hour or two. And just uh, 243 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, just a ton of money that uh that 244 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: came in. That kind of caught us a little flat footed. 245 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: So uh a little annoyed at that. But who are 246 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: you who are just in general, no one, no one 247 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: in particular. Just you know, it's just a lot of 248 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: times that if somebody gets that information before we did, um, 249 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: you know, which we can't make the adjustment. So and 250 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: it's not to say that you know, he still made 251 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: play and we we don't know, so, but I like 252 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: to try and be ahead of um those kind of moves. 253 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: Aren't you the guy? Aren't you the guy who knew 254 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: Eli Apple was going to be traded and then the 255 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Eagles were going after him too, and weeks before, and 256 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: yet Mitch true Bisky doesn't practice and everybody in Vegas 257 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: knows before you do. Yeah. Yeah, that's not just flat footed, 258 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: that's dereliction of duty. Hey, I was in I was 259 00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: in meetings. I was no. Oh no, I cannot accept 260 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: that as an a certain meeting. Note on a certain meetings, 261 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: you have to kind of turn off all your devices 262 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: when you go in. When you go into certain meetings, 263 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: you just are completely cut off from the outside world. 264 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: It sounds like you need to start delegating some of 265 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: your responsibilities. Let people make some decisions. That's true. The 266 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are suddenly resurgent, and between Colt McCoy being 267 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: injured and the Cowboys winning two in a row, the 268 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: line opened it nine and a half. It's been bent 269 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: down to seven and a half, which is clearly more reasonable. Um, 270 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys shouldn't be nine and a half point favorites 271 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: over anybody. No, what's your logical? Where are you at? 272 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: What's happening? Well, well, the whole thing is just you know, 273 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, especially when they're playing probably the 274 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: best that they've played all year, or at least you 275 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: know perception wise that that that's what the betters think. 276 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: So so we just went as high as we could 277 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: possibly go, knowing that the public is going to lay 278 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: these favorites. So, um, I agree with you did get corrected, 279 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: um who took took some sharp money on the Redskins. 280 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: But this will probably come right back up before kickoff time, 281 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: especially once the average uh fan kind of puts in 282 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: his his parlay's and doesn't really have a whole lot 283 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: of faith in Colt McCoy. So uh well, we'll see 284 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: how see how this line comes right back. I think 285 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: the difference between Colton McCoy and Alex Smith was three 286 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: points right around. Yeah that's right, Yeah, absolutely absolutely, yeah. 287 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: I nailed that, Yeah, nailed it. What do you make 288 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: the difference between Colt McCoy and Mark Sanchez twenty seven point? 289 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Is that about right? That's a that's about right. That's 290 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: what That's what I would make it. Yeah, Mark Sanchez 291 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: like Jesus Christ, Marks like honest to guy, I think 292 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: Nathan picks six men and Mark Sanchez have the same 293 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: point spread value. Yeah, you know, Uh, do you feel 294 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: comfortable having the Cowboys being nine and a half point favorites? 295 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: If that line goes back up, I wouldn't I hire you? 296 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: Eight eight and a half is what I had. I 297 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: wasn't higher than eight and a half. I know there 298 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: was some nine min and a half's out there, but 299 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: I'd be okay with eight and a half. All right, 300 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: not right, ye, Scooch.

We were kind of anticipating these 332 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: three Thanksgiving Day games because they're so volatile and so 333 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: much money is being bet on them, that we were saying, kind, 334 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: we've got to make the New Orleans at least eleven 335 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: on this game. And then and then after after watching 336 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans on Sunday, we're like, let's just go as 337 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: high as we could possibly go and and see if 338 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: the uh if the wise guys will take it. And uh, 339 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: first bets out of the gate, we're on the Saints. 340 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: I mean, we we hung thirteen and went right up 341 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: to thirteen and a half, took took another ten thousand 342 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: at minus thirteen and a half, uh, and then went 343 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: to fourteen. And that's when the wise guys started coming 344 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: coming in heavy on the Falcons. This line is so inflated. 345 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I mean this line really when 346 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: I say it should be a ten, I mean that's 347 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: what you know, the numbers say it should be. It's 348 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: just a bias on a high profile game on Thanksgiving 349 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: with the public is just writing the Saints every week. 350 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what number we put up there, they're 351 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: going to bet the Saints in this one. If we 352 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: hung this team, they would bet the Saints. They owned sixteen, 353 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: and so it's just a matter of what number is 354 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: going to draw some some big sharp action. And uh, 355 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, if we don't have to go to fifteen 356 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: to get the sharp action, then then we won't. So 357 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: it looks like it looks like the sharp guys don't 358 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 1: want any more of plus thirteen. So I'm actually going 359 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: to go back to thirteen and a half as we speak. 360 00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: Oh and there it is thirteen and a half like that, 361 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: do you I do? I think you changed it just 362 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: for the sound effect. Now you know we're gonna need. Actually, 363 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: I I am taking some some pretty big bets on 364 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: the Saints, just you know, in the two thousand, three 365 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: thousand dollar range here as we're as we're speaking, so 366 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: I was watching it creep up anyway. Um, you know. 367 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: So it's this is like I said, this is gonna 368 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: be like a Monday night game, like a Sunday night game. 369 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: It's all the favorites. If all the favorites come in 370 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: on early on Thanksgiving, then this this line goes right 371 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: back up to four team. I'm gonna hold off. Then 372 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: I want to bet the Falcons in this game. And 373 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wait to get the best of number. Yep. 374 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Saints can't just roll again, but 375 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: you you have to take the value in these games, 376 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: and and there's just tremendous amount of value in the 377 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: Falcons here. Again, this total is at open. New England 378 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: Patriots are nine and a half point favorites on the 379 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: road at the New York Jets. They, my friend, are 380 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: a train wreck, dumpster fire, trash of epic proportions, prime 381 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: spot for the Jets to cover. I agree with you there, 382 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: We're just so we're waiting. Uh. I mean there's a chance. 383 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: Uh Sam Donald plays here watching the quarterback situations in 384 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: a few of these games. But either way, either way, 385 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: you take ten points with the Jets at home. So 386 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: another game where probably the line should have been seven 387 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: and a a half, eight and a half. But these Thanksgiving 388 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: Day weekends, we know the town is just packed with tourists. 389 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: The tourists are gonna bet five six teams that they've 390 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: been following all year that they love to bet on, 391 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: and the Patriots are one of them. So we want 392 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: to be as you know, as high as we can. 393 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: We're not getting a whole lot of bets on the 394 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: Jets though, from the from the sharp guys, which is 395 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: a little little concerning. Um, you can't really go much 396 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: higher than or I don't want to go much higher 397 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: than ten when there's nine and a half's out there. 398 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: But well, we'll inch this game up too if we 399 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: have to. You know, you can sew it up to 400 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: eleven if you need to. Probably don't have to. I 401 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: think I think ten and a half is just such 402 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: a dude. It was another eighties movie reference. Oh I 403 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: missed it? What was what was that movie? This one 404 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: goes up to eleven? Spinal tap? Uh damn. It should 405 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: have got that one. That's like in your wheel house? Yeah, 406 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: what happened to you? Here's another shitty game. Baltimore is 407 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: tighter and a half playing favorites over the Raiders. What 408 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: the hell you do with that? It's one shitty team 409 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: against another. It's like, these lines are too high. I 410 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: can't do it anymore. You gotta take the Raiders here. 411 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: I don't want I'm not even gonna look at this game. 412 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: I hate this game. Put this game on in the 413 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: corner and let's just pretend it doesn't exist. Come on, 414 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders coming off of that big win. That was 415 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: a big game for us, by the way, against the 416 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: That was a massive game against the Cardinals. I looked 417 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday morning and like, I thought, that was gonna 418 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: be a a corner TV game and that had a 419 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: huge volume of bets, like one of the top three 420 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: or four most back games of the day. Yeah. Really 421 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: really another game that they came in late, and there 422 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: was just the three afternoon games and we were already 423 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: out of the Saints game. We were losers on that 424 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: one right out of the gate. So it was really 425 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: between uh you know, the Raider game and what was 426 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: the other afternoon game. We we were on the right 427 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: side of late there Chargers Broncos. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that 428 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: was a huge one too, so so money line bets. 429 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: Uh Chargers let that one slip away and that that 430 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: ended up being good for us, But the Raiders turned 431 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: into it. And that just goes to show the volume 432 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: of the NFL when there's just the three games, even 433 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: a even a shitty game draws a ton of action. 434 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: Watch your mouth? Why swearing? What the fund is the 435 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: matter with you? Wow? One the way you got the 436 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: kids scared? What is some kind of you know sailor 437 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: fucking convention. They don't get to come in here and 438 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: start crissening up a storm just because you're Bob Scucci 439 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: and you think you host the podcast. Man, don't make 440 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: me get Scorsese in here. You sounded a little Scorsese, 441 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: Papa cap in you. Uh, please continue talk about this 442 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: crantastic game. Ravens Ravens min minus eleven got you don't 443 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: even have anything to say about it. I got nothing 444 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: to say about this game. Zero move on. No one's 445 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: bet in this game. Literally, I think there's seventy bets. 446 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: Seventy bets so far in this game. Uh. The New 447 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: York Giants plus six and a half at Philadelphia. Um, 448 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Before the season began, I 449 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: did one thing that sounded really smart. I said I 450 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: did not believe the Philadelphia Eagles would make the playoffs. Um, 451 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: obviously I didn't think they would win their division. Less 452 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: smart in the very high stakes pool I did with 453 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: my buddies in which we each pick eight teams to 454 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and put in a sizeable chunk 455 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: of money to do so, I traded down in the 456 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: draft away from the Chiefs, thinking, well, I'll get the Giants, 457 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: and I feel like they're gamers. Nice move there, But 458 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: I was high on the Giants too at the beginning 459 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: of the year. I think everybody was. It was almost 460 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: a clue that we should just jump off on that. 461 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: Every pundit felt that this was the year the Giants 462 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: just make leaps and strides improvements. Uh, you know, new 463 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: new coaching staff, new offensive lines, defensive acquisitions. You know, 464 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: it's just and of course, uh, they're horrible. I think 465 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: it's not so much my mistake because I was only 466 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: on the Giants after you said to me otherwise, guys 467 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: are in the Giants. Yep. Yeah, well they were too. 468 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, betting the season win total. But 469 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: this is a weird line. Six points. Two teams that 470 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: are relaying the line moved down. It opened at seven, 471 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: we're down to five and a half. Now you're getting 472 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: hit with some wise guy money on this. Yeah. So 473 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: in the you know, two equally bad teams that you're getting, 474 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: you're getting six points um the rivalry and uh, I 475 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: guess a little more value on that. Which team seems 476 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: to be playing better? Even though the Giants let Tampa 477 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: Bay almost come back and win that game last week 478 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: when the Giants were a big uh, just when I 479 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: was about to say the Giants are looking pretty decent, 480 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: and then that second half they Tampa Bay brings in 481 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, they pulled Fitzpatrick and Giants almost let another 482 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: one slip away. So not a whole lot of action 483 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: on this game. I mean, this would have been a 484 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: game early in season when you look on the schedule 485 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: and you think it's going to be one of the 486 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: good ones, and the way it turns out with these 487 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: two teams, it's, uh, one of the ones that you 488 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: know they're not really gonna pay too much attention to. Well, 489 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 1: you know what, Odell Beckham said, they could still win 490 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: eight in a row, and they can't. They've won two 491 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: in a row, only six more. Yep, what are the 492 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: odds on that? She said A line on that that 493 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: would have been a good line for you that you 494 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: know seems ago to said. Whether or not that they 495 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: would go eat no Yah finished the season would have 496 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: been five thousand to one. Think about the action you 497 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: could have taken. Just like for fun, you would have 498 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: been the only book in Vegas putting up those lines. 499 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: You would have gotten some you know, commercial appeal. Someone 500 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: like the Action Network would have written about you, Yeah, 501 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: that you're too busy and meetings, turning off your phone 502 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: to really think about how to market your book. Yeah, 503 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco, speaking of, they are on the road at 504 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. God only knows who's gonna play 505 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: quarterback for them. God only knows who's gonna watch this game. 506 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: The Buccaneers are three and a half playing favorites. We 507 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: opened four on this one, and the wise guys love 508 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: the forty. Niners bet the plus four. They bet the 509 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: plus three and a half, went down the three minus 510 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: twenty and slowed everything down. But the public is still 511 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: on the Buccaneers on this one, probably at about a 512 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: three to one clip so, um, just because they're the favorites, 513 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: where we'll get some public money on them, but we've 514 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: already taken some significant money from from the sharp guys 515 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: on the Niners. You have yep, Nick Mullins fans huh huge, Yeah, 516 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: what's the showing? I don't know, Listen the next game. 517 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: We gotta run a really bad games here, but let's 518 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: pretend that they're interesting. So Cleveland at Cincinnati, this is 519 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: the huge Jackson ball. Um, I'm surprised this line knowing 520 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: that Hugh Jackson as the Browns playbook. Uh, and it's 521 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: gonna be whispering sweet nothings in Marvin Lewis's ear. I'm 522 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: surprised you haven't like moved this line of way up 523 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: because it sounds like that is just a a death 524 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: defying feat for the Browns to come in and beat 525 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: the Bengals on the road, knowing they have to go 526 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: against their old coach like that is going to be 527 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: the storyline that is going to be the lazy storyline 528 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: for the week. It will be the only storyline of 529 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: this game because, uh, nobody, nobody cares about this game 530 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: other than probably the folks in Cincinnati or Cleveland. We 531 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: have no no action on this game at all, no 532 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: sizeable bed Yeah, I mean ticket ticket count. It's probably 533 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: five to one Bengals. We're at three minus twenty. But 534 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: maybe the twenty cents is discouraging some of the sharp 535 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: guys from laying the price. But um, I could kind 536 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: of get though how the game will go to three 537 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: and a half from the I think the sharp guys 538 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: are probably gonna lay the three on this one more. 539 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: I don't see them taking the Browns in this one. 540 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: So you're probably right in that it's probably gonna get 541 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: a little higher. So we'll keep an eye on this one. 542 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: Trying to move this quick. I'm kind of annoyed with 543 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: the NFL schedulers that they made like every game after 544 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving bad. Well look and look at these huge point spreads. 545 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got double digit, double digit point spreads 546 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: in like five games this week, and it's it's ridiculous, 547 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: horrible teams make It's gonna it's gonna make the Thanksgiving 548 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: Day games that much bigger because people are just gonna 549 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: focus on those, you know, three or four big, real 550 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: good games and then the rest of the schedule is 551 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,919 Speaker 1: not gonna mean much. They're betting their cash on Thursday. Yep, 552 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: what runs? What? What? What is a good word for 553 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: a movie? Do I miss another one? Now you just 554 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: sound like my father in law. I got it, I 555 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: got it. I know what that is. I got it. 556 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: This line has moved and this was interesting to me. Uh, 557 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: Carolina opened at three, it's now at three and a half, 558 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: and the majority of the bets are coming in on Seattle. 559 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: So what I'm seeing is that the wise guys liked 560 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: Carolina as a short home favorite. That's what we're seeing 561 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: two and I I thought that they would like the Seahawks. 562 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: I was. I was a little surprised by the by 563 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: the move here. I don't know what they're they're seeing. 564 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised, uh, because I think 565 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of um public sentiment for the 566 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 1: Seahawk right now, and especially coming off that win against 567 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: the Packers, and obviously the Panthers just lost to the Lions. 568 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: Um so people are less inclined to think this is 569 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 1: a good team. I don't think they're very good team either, 570 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: but but I think the line should have been closer 571 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: to four when it opened. And so to me, there 572 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: was about a point of value for the wise guys. 573 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: Good argument. Jacksonville minus These games are like enigmas and 574 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: puzzles to me, Jacksonville minus three against Buffalo? Is it 575 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: possible I could have betting fatigue right now? In this moment? 576 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: Can I have betting fatigue? The idea of having to 577 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: think about whether or not I like Jacksonville or Buffalo 578 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: is actually dragging me down, just just to have to 579 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: try and greet into this game is just it's kind 580 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: of discouraging. I'm going with Jacksonville. No, I'm going with Buffalo. 581 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: I can't picture many people going with Buffalo and this one, 582 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: especially with the Jags looking a lot better last week 583 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: than they have previously. So um, there's really nothing to 584 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: be too encouraged about betting on the Bills here other 585 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,399 Speaker 1: than the factor at home. So um, I'm gonna move 586 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: the Jags pretty quick if we get any kind of 587 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: sizeable bet on the Jags. But right now I'm not 588 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: seeing much of anything. A lot of public money just 589 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: all on the Jags, but nothing big, no substantial bets 590 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: either way. Nothing from the sharp guys on this one. 591 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get anything. I might move it right now. 592 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Yeah, I'm gonna go to four. Now. 593 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: You're just doing it for the sound effect, you know, 594 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: like that's an easy one to do. No one's gonna 595 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: bet on this game. I can move the line of four. 596 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: It's open. It's not gonna It's like the risk analysis 597 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: here is I get to hear the horn. Yeah, that's it. 598 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: It's a good trade off. Yeah, I get to do 599 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: the horn and have a little fun and nobody's gonna 600 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: bet in this game, so it doesn't matter. Um here's 601 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: another massive number on a team that broke my heart. 602 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I finally decide last week, I'm going in on the Chargers. 603 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: I liked them as touchdown favorites against the Broncos. I've 604 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: seen them playing so well, I'm all in. Uh, and 605 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: they had that game. They should have won that game 606 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: by three touchdowns. It was that one turnover Philip Rivers 607 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: von Miller late in the third quarter, I think, and 608 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: it just changed everything. It really did, and that that 609 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: was a game the Chargers just dominated offensively. They just 610 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: drove down the field pretty much at will. There's another 611 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: point in that game that I thought was pivotal and 612 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: that uh, Philip Rivers just trying to run out the clock. 613 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: He threw the ball at a receiver's feet that that 614 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: stopped the clock as Denver, gave Denver another time out 615 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: and as it turned out, just enough time to to 616 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: come back down and kick a field goal. So uh, 617 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: there was just a lot of uh mental mistakes in 618 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: that game for a team that just I'm I was 619 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: high on the Chargers myself, and uh, just again, they 620 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: really should have won much should have won that game easy, 621 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: and uh, they just they just gave it away. And 622 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: yet they're twelve and a half place favorites right now 623 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: and they're gonna lay it and this line is gonna 624 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:42,919 Speaker 1: go up. You think so? Yeah, the Cardinals are that bad? Yeah? Absolutely? 625 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: Who did they lose to last week? Peace? Wow? Yeah, 626 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: this is another line that's going to close their team. 627 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: I would say i'd move it now, but I want 628 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: to hear that. Damn horn. Now you're just doing it 629 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: because you're there. I called you out. You're a little embarrassed. 630 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. It is going to go up. God, 631 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: that's a game I don't want to have to make 632 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: a decision on. Problem is, I'm doing this pick him 633 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: contest with my buddy, and we got to choose every 634 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: game against the spread. It's the one where the loser 635 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: gets sent like all these second place trophies, no money, 636 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: just pride. And I've killed him for the past five years, 637 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like tight and he's 638 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: just calling me and taunting me about all the trophies 639 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna buy. And I'm looking at these games and 640 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about any money. I'm only thinking about 641 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to pick this because he's going to 642 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: pick on your side and I'm gonna like lose this season. 643 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: And I'm feelingly at the Cubs like he's just in 644 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: my head right now, right exactly. Betting is the worst. 645 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: I do you know why I hate Sundays. I don't 646 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: like Mondays with name Matt Tune. This is an interesting 647 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: line to me. Miami opened as a ten point underdog. 648 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: The line has moved to eight. Ten felt really really high. 649 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: Ten felt like irrational exuberance for the Colts. Well, this 650 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: is all on. Ryan Tanneh helped the line moved down 651 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: to eight on on the news that he was upgraded. Okay, 652 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: so yeah, that that was and I agree with you 653 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: the line. The line was probably on the high side, 654 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: even even with os Weiler, and I mean it was 655 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: we we we try to go on the high side, 656 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: especially with these big favorites again because of the Thanksgiving 657 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: Day weekend and UH and the the amount of people 658 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: that are going to be in town betting all these 659 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: public teams, um, so it was it was a little inflation. 660 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: But when the news came out with Tannehill, then the 661 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: sharp guys just kind of jumped on it. So we're down. 662 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: We're down to eight and a half, and slow down, 663 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: don't We don't have much on either side of minus 664 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: eight and a half. So just off the news, you 665 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: didn't adjust the number, you would have left the number 666 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: the same, meaning Tannehill to brock Oss Wilder. Isn't that 667 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: much of a change in points, per right, But obviously 668 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: the Bettors felt differently, so they took the ten. They 669 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: took the nine and a half and some of the nine. 670 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: This is a good one. Finally, Pittsburgh at Denver. Denver 671 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: is a three point underdog at home. Tell you what, man, 672 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: not a very good football team, but they know how 673 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,720 Speaker 1: to cover. They've they've won some. They've covered some big 674 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 1: games for us, a couple of back doors, especially at home. 675 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: Uh they're on my favorites list now and uh, this 676 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: is gonna be another one. We're gonna we're to need 677 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: them in terms of parlays, but in terms of straight bets, 678 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 1: we've actually taken more on the Broncos than any other 679 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: team except the Lions, and the Lions was all on 680 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: that Trabinsky news, but we just got pounded on the 681 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: on the Broncos from the sharp guys. We opened four, 682 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: so it was probably a half a point higher than 683 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 1: what we would normally make it, but just trying to 684 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: anticipate with some of the public money, we went on 685 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: the high side. So I kind of expected them taking 686 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: the plus four, but I didn't really expect them taking 687 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 1: plus three and a half and driving it down to three. 688 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, the public will come in 689 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: on the weekend and they'll see the Steelers only laying three, 690 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 1: and they're gonna just be all over this. So it's 691 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: gonna be one of those games where the sharp guys 692 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: in the public are just on complete opposite ends. If 693 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: I want to be a sharp guy, I missed the 694 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: best of the number, you would probably recommend waiting until 695 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: Sunday so I can get in the good graces of 696 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: the number. Yeah, particularly because there's you know, there's only 697 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: it's an afternoon game. It's it's one of the late games. 698 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 1: So again, depending on how the morning goes, if a 699 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,919 Speaker 1: lot of the favorites cover in the morning, you're gonna 700 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: see a lot of the afternoon favorites get driven up 701 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: even higher. So, um, you've got a chance to get 702 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: that three and a half or even four later later 703 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: in the week. I mean guarantee the public is going 704 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: to be betting the Steelers in this one, and there's 705 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: gonna be some big public money in town, so this 706 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: line will go back up. I feel like this past 707 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 1: weekend for the Steelers was a seminal moment in their season. 708 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,720 Speaker 1: They have been through so much and between the Levy 709 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: on Bell stuff early season losses a tie, they have 710 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 1: come around. Their defense is getting significantly better. You saw 711 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: it this past weekend against the Jags. They can unload 712 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: when they have to offensively, like they found a way 713 00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,320 Speaker 1: to win that game. Pure grit, pure talent, pure want. 714 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: That was just want. It really was. Yeah that was 715 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: I am. I am both to bet a road favorite. Um, 716 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: but if I were going to pick one this week, 717 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: it would be the Steelers. M M yeah, I can 718 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,919 Speaker 1: see it. I mean I was trying to be high 719 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,760 Speaker 1: on the Steelers last week too and ended up falling 720 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: on a bad number, which you know, turn turn from 721 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: being one of the best games on the board to 722 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: being an okay game in terms of the sports book 723 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: win win loss statement. Um, so I'm gonna I'm gonna 724 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 1: be high on them most most every game. I mean, 725 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: Steelers just draw so much betting support is just incredible, 726 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: the number of people that just even non Steeler fans 727 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,240 Speaker 1: will throw the Steelers in Parley's So, um, we're always 728 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: going to be on the high side with the Steelers. 729 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: Speaking of highside, you got Sunday nights, second week in 730 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: a row. You've got the Minnesota Vikings on the TV. 731 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: There are three and a half point favorites against a reeling, 732 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: not very good, not very well coached, a little bit 733 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 1: disorganized Packers team that is probably going to need a 734 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 1: new head coach next year. Yeah. I don't disagree with 735 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: with anything you said, and we were on the high 736 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 1: side here too. We took a little bit of Packer money. 737 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a tremendous amount of sharp play, but 738 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: we took some decent sized bets on the Packers at 739 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: plus three and a half and we went to three 740 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: and a half minus twenty on the Packers. And the 741 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: public seems to be honest at about a two to 742 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: one ratio, so they haven't jumped off, and I think 743 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: we'll get pretty good two way, two way action on 744 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: this one. We saw some a lot of Viking support 745 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: against the Bears last week, and um, Vikings will still 746 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: draw a lot of betting action. You saw some size 747 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: Johnny on the Packers, Yes, we did. I'm trying to 748 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 1: make that a thing. Is it hasn't working out well, 749 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: you're hesitated, So no, not that great. It's like, uh, 750 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: if I may refer to another movie, this one from 751 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more recent, Mean Girls, one of the 752 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: characters continue to try to make fetch a thing like 753 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 1: that's so fetch. So yeah, okay, yeah, you lost me 754 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: on the Mean Girls. Alright, alright, father in law. Um, 755 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: let's just say you've got some size Johnny coming in 756 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 1: in the pack and the money is coming back in 757 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: on the Vikes, and we're moving on to Houston. Is 758 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: four point favorites against the Tennessee Titans, the kind of 759 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: fraudulent seven games in a row winning Texans versus the 760 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: inconsistent don't know who you're going to get? Uh, look 761 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: like they play hard then have a couple of stinkers 762 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Yeah, we have no line on this game yet. 763 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: Because of no line, Houston is going to be somewhere 764 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 1: around up touch almost a touchdown favorite. Um, but it's 765 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna depend on whose quarterback. And I mean 766 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: there's just injuries Tennessee on Mariota, so we gotta just wait. 767 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: He's quite listening as questionable right now, but we need 768 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more information before we hang a hang 769 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: a line on this one. But we're not real high 770 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 1: on the on this Houston team either, even though they're 771 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 1: in the middle of that winning streak and said last 772 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,839 Speaker 1: week that they shouldn't really be uh laying points on 773 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: the road like they were in that Redskins game, and 774 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: I think they still almost lost it. So they didn't cover. 775 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: They definitely didn't cover second week in row where they 776 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: second week in a row where they eat how to 777 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: win on the road in a situation where they got 778 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:09,280 Speaker 1: very lucky. Yeah. Absolutely, there was a defensive touchdown in there, 779 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: and of course, uh Alex Smith got got hurt, and 780 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,359 Speaker 1: so I mean, yeah, there was there was a lot 781 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: of things going their way there. The public loves this 782 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: team a lot more than sort of sharps like you 783 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: and I. Yeah they do, but they weren't really it 784 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a real big game last week. They weren't overwhelmingly 785 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: on h We had pretty good two way action on 786 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 1: that game last week. What was our Scoot Rowlett, what 787 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: were our Scoot Roulett picks last week? You had the 788 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: Rams at what the ran number? I had him at 789 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: two and a half. But that that was That was 790 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 1: before they moved the game to l A. A win 791 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: is a win a right the right side of the 792 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: winning side. Someone genius once said that, and uh, Chad 793 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: Millman in his head had the redskins. But I think 794 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: out loud he said the Falcons. You did love the 795 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 1: Falcons last week? That was stupid, wasn't it. I now 796 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 1: you like him again this week. Lack of options and 797 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: imagination for for a guy that hated the Falcons all year, 798 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: now suddenly you like all year eight years eight years. Yeah, 799 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 1: pretty much. I have had the same tired take on 800 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: the Falcons since you and I were doing this ed ESPN. Yeah, 801 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: I remember we have been together for a long time, 802 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 1: size Johnny, We have absolutely all right, So who do 803 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: you want to go with? I don't like hold on, 804 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:58,320 Speaker 1: hold on, scars, I gotta scars. It's so fucking hot 805 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 1: in this studio that like, I'm honestly delirious. I can't 806 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: even see. It's like foggy, and um my head is 807 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: spinning a little bit. I might be dehydrated. I can 808 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: see like a big bottle of water all the way 809 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 1: across the table from me, and I wish, I wish 810 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 1: I could have it. But it's kind of like an oasis. 811 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 1: What's going on there? What aren't you in the aren't 812 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: you in the studio? Isn't what is it? The heat 813 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: up too high? What's going on? It's like a cocoon 814 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:40,279 Speaker 1: of heat. So I'm missing my cues. We're supposed to 815 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 1: play the music. That's what I was gonna say. Here 816 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:54,439 Speaker 1: we go, talk to me, goose from there you go. 817 00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm back.
