You're having a great year 11 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: with your picks, both for the Pigs contest and just 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: in general. 13 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: And I follow you in. 14 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: The Action app so I don't really need to ask 15 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: how your season is going, but you know, how's it going. 16 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been good. 17 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 4: Usually, if it's a good year for dogs and unders, 18 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 4: that's gonna be a profitable, profitable year for most professionals, right. 19 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 4: So the fact that early on it was just so 20 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 4: good with the underdogs and the unders, it was like 21 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 4: I would have really had to have laid an egg 22 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 4: for the rest of the year for not to make 23 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 4: a profit. But luckily the Dogs they haven't been winning 24 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 4: out right as much, but they still been covering the 25 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 4: number here down the home stretch. So just a really 26 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 4: really profitable year with the public. They've been taken on 27 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 4: the chin for most of the season. 28 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's true. 29 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean underdogs, uh, And I mean it's been balanced 30 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: more on on the totals recently, you know, but those 31 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks, the unders were totally smashing uh. 32 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: And so that was a great runway for success for 33 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. And yeah, underdogs still have 34 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: been been the way to go throughout the season. And 35 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, Simon, you are a professional better. I think 36 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: there are lots of people who think that they would 37 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: love to do what you do. But you know, it's 38 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: not as uh, it's not as glamorous as I'm imagining 39 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people would imagine it to be. Can 40 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: you talk about like how you got started, like how 41 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: you got into the I guess the quote unquote like 42 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: professional side of it, you know, like transitioning from someone 43 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: who sports bets and does it profitably to someone who 44 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: does it professionally. 45 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say I got lucky where it was 46 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: just kind of those things of life where I always 47 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 4: kind of met the right people and then took advantage 48 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 4: of the situation. So I sports bet ever since I 49 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: was a kid. Like my earliest memory and someone ever 50 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 4: asked me will was that Titans Ram super Bowl from 51 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 4: a lifetime ago where the guy got tackled at the 52 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 4: one yeah, and I had the Titan side. So that 53 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 4: my first bet ever of my life. I lost against 54 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 4: my brother for whatever it was a dollar. He won 55 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 4: by one yard line on the Rams there, So that 56 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 4: was something where I got like the itch of it. 57 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 4: Then through high school always lost. I was your classic lemon, 58 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: Like even if I won big, right, you'd have like 59 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: the nice three four week run of you doing all 60 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: your stupid parlays whatever it was. And I always eventually 61 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 4: go back to the book, you know, I just would always. 62 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: I was one of those sports. 63 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: Better so didn't really take it serious. 64 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: And then when I was twenty one, I was working 65 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 4: in TV and I happened to be in Vegas and 66 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 4: I met a guy just at the table. We were 67 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 4: talking and he didn't tell me exactly that he was 68 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 4: a sports better, but kind of like reference that's what 69 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: he did for a living, and not that we hit 70 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 4: it off, but it was just like a friendship of yeah, 71 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 4: let's go grab a beer sometime, let's go grab dinner. 72 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: And that's kind of how I start off my oarlership 73 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: with I guess called my mentor Bob, and it might 74 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 4: have been I don't know. Three weeks into me and 75 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 4: him talking where he was like, would you ever want 76 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: to be a runner, and explain to me what that was, 77 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: which is basically, someone gives you a bunch of money 78 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 4: and they tell you what their picts are going to be, 79 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 4: and they tell you which sportsbooks to go to and 80 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 4: how much to bet at these sports books, and you 81 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: take the said cash they gave you, you go there 82 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 4: and make those bets for them, and you can make 83 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 4: your own bets. You can take their picks like they 84 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: don't mind, they just want their own bets. You get 85 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 4: the tickets, You bring the tickets back to that person. 86 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 4: So that's one of those where it's a job well 87 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 4: of trust, right, someone's giving you money. 88 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: That was kind of thing where he offered me a 89 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: job on trust. 90 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: I turned it down at the time just because I 91 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: was in TV and I was making a good living. Again, 92 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: I didn't really know much about sports betting at twenty one. 93 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: So then follow up three months, I was just burned 94 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: out on my job and I reached out to him 95 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: and said, Hey, is that offer still stand and he said, yeah. 96 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: You'd have to move back to Vegas. 97 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: So end up moving back there, and man, this might 98 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: have been the winner of twenty eleven. Heading into the 99 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: spring of twenty eleven and one of those where it 100 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: was kind of eye opening. It was like one of 101 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: the things I realized, Oh, these are real people that 102 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: do this, and there's a whole little underground world here 103 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: of them doing it, and there's a bunch of little 104 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 4: secrets and tricks that they all do. But the biggest thing, 105 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: the boom of the time I came in was the 106 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 4: building of models. So the Internet had been around for 107 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: a while at this point, I mean social media had 108 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: been taken off at this point, like Twitter, Facebook, everything 109 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: twenty eleven, twenty twelve. 110 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: The big thing to me was Reddit. 111 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 4: I really got into Reddit and talking to all these 112 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: other people on there that were, you know, amateur gamblers, 113 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: and so I was running for Bob and these other guys. 114 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: I was talking about these models and they're like, yeah, 115 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 4: we know about models. Like build the model out and 116 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: then we'll see how it works. 117 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. 118 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: Fell on my face the first year, like I did 119 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: a model that was probably my first time ever going 120 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: straight up broke. 121 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: I was baying. 122 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 4: I lost all my money my first year out there 123 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 4: in Vegas, and that was kind of thing where it 124 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 4: was like, yeah, I was making money off of their picks, 125 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 4: but I tried being But I think most of us 126 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 4: are where it's like, oh, I know the sport. 127 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: I've watched football, I know what I'm doing. Yeah, well 128 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: you don't. You really don't. 129 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: The more I feel like the more you watch, the 130 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: more you get tricked into it where it doesn't really 131 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 4: matter what you see. 132 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: It's all about the numbers. 133 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 4: And that's what I kind of learned the hard way, 134 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 4: where it's like I need to start really trusting the 135 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: model and stop trusting my own opinion because I didn't 136 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: know anything at the time. So that was a tough year. 137 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 4: Fast forward to so that was twenty twelve football season. 138 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 4: Fast forward to twenty thirteen. They bumped me up full time, 139 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: so I went from being a runner to actually working 140 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: with the other analysts and the other guys making bets 141 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: for a professional sports group, and I was young, especially 142 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 4: at the time. I was very young for that position 143 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 4: to be in. And it was one of those where 144 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: like if you're hungry enough, if you literally don't want 145 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 4: a life, and you put in the time, you do 146 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: get rewarded back in this business. You really do if 147 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: you put in the time, and I just dove in. 148 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 3: So I just. 149 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: Remember, like I really dove in that year in my 150 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: model got really lucky that year. The guy who was 151 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 4: our he pretty much ran our little pod, the guys 152 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: who did the NFL work. He got fired for giving 153 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: picks outside the group, which is like a big no 154 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 4: no in the gambling world where it's like, yeah, I 155 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: can give out my picks on my show, but I 156 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: already gave those out to set clients hours or days beforehand, 157 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 4: which is like no, no problem then because they already 158 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: got the best of the number. This guy was selling 159 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 4: picks on the side, which is a huge no no. 160 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 4: So luckily stepped in. It was me and another guy. 161 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: We pretty much were head to head for one one 162 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: job position for the rest of that season. I won 163 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: out at my in my specialties and again I'm not 164 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 4: the best game to game guy where there's some guys 165 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 4: who bet one unit every game. 166 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: That's not really my. 167 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: Special my specialties, there's certain games and spots I'm really 168 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: good at maximizing opportunity on and picking those spots and 169 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: putting a decent amount of money on. So kind of 170 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: separating myself with him there where they preferred that style 171 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: to his style. So then by twenty fourteen, I was 172 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: a full on, quote unquote professional where it was like, Okay, 173 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 4: I was making my living making bets and selling picks. 174 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: And then I try to explaining people of the time 175 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 4: I do bet my own money. When I'm talking about 176 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 4: betting huge amounts of money, that's my group's money. Like 177 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: you pull all the money together, the same thing with 178 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: the guy who bets cricket for us or the guy 179 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: who bets women's soccer, women's basketball. We all take money 180 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 4: from the same pool that we try to grow. So 181 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: that's that's something most peenn't understand where it's like, yeah, 182 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 4: I'm betting my own money, but whereas a group trying 183 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 4: to make a money making money together, that's the all 184 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 4: point of all working professionals together. 185 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: It's a big pool of money. 186 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Well, so you talked right there about it's a group, 187 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: it's a group effort, syndicate for lack of a better 188 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: word there, but can you so this this money? I'm 189 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: just kind of curious about it. Is it, you know, 190 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: kind of third party investor? Is it everyone pulling their 191 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: money together? Like how does that work? 192 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: So the third party would be say, I especially hear 193 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 4: in New Jersey and that's one other story, but iasically 194 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: get built out an incredible network carry New Jersey of runners. 195 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 4: So in Vegas, if you're lucky, there's six to seven 196 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 4: books that will take bets from professionals, even runners. New 197 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: Jersey we have over twenty sports books and not even that. 198 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 4: I'm right next to New York legalized state, Pennsylvania, legalized state, 199 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 4: Delaware which is kind of illegal, and Maryland where they're 200 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: just legalized, the in Connecticut which is so it's a 201 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: lot of areas for betters to get money down. So 202 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: say my group we want to get down a huge bet. 203 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 4: Someone wants to get down a huge bet on the 204 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 4: NBA game tonight. But in Vegas that's really hard to do, 205 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 4: especially without bringing attention to you, and they're going to 206 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: move the number against it. That's where the pulling of 207 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 4: the money works out where I have a lot of 208 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 4: money here, I can put it in out of the pool, 209 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 4: and when it wins, you can put it back in 210 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 4: the pool of money. So say at the end of 211 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 4: the year you kept track of how much money you 212 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: made for the group and how much money you put 213 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: into the pool, you get a kickback of that percentage. 214 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 4: So even if you had a down year, you lucky 215 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: are still going to get money back from the pool. 216 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 4: Obviously people rarely have it down years, but that's kind 217 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 4: of what it is. It's not so much of we 218 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 4: all know we're not gonna be come You're not gonna 219 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 4: become multi multi, multi multi million, Like you're not making 220 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 4: a hundred of millions of dollars bet in a year, right, 221 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 4: So if you're lucky, A great year for me would 222 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 4: be to say my pool was a million dollars. If 223 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: I could return just two million dollars, that'd be an 224 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: amazing year for me. But if I did that with 225 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 4: my clients, that'd be a disaster year because these people 226 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 4: are betting way bigger money. So I think the pool 227 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: the whole point of that is it's to help everyone 228 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 4: like in the group. So it's like I can make 229 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: my own money. But if I can make everyone else money, 230 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: that's great because in the off season, I don't I'm 231 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: not working. I don't know NBA, I don't know these 232 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 4: other sports. I still want bets. I still want to 233 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: be making money. That's what's great about pulling the money 234 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 4: out where it's like, Okay, this guy's having a great 235 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: season NBA, I don't have to make bets on the NBA. 236 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: I can just make money off him. 237 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: So it's kind of thing where it's it's as if 238 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 4: we're paying for picksburn we're getting them for free. Right, 239 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: It's like that's that's kind of the benefit of it. 240 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: But the negative of it is, Yeah, if someone's not 241 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 4: pulling their weight a year in, year out, they'll get 242 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 4: let go. We've really never had any of those kinds 243 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 4: of issues, but yeah, I would say people that want 244 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 4: to get into this line of work, it's really hard 245 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: nowadays because the lines have been blurred where like anyone 246 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: can make a model, right. I mean, that's the great 247 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 4: thing about the Internet, where it's like we all can 248 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: make models. You don't need to be in this underground 249 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: where we're like most of my stuff is tips, Like 250 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 4: a lot of if I'm making a big bet, it's 251 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: either I'm hearing something or a group by known as 252 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: all respected. They've taken a position on a team, and 253 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: I know that's a huge dvantage. I mean, my biggest 254 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: bet of the season so far was Dallas versus the Vikings. 255 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 4: Dallas were a favorite on the road in Minnesota, and 256 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 4: no one in the world understood that line. And that 257 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 4: was one of those where it's like I started betting 258 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: that Sunday night and then didn't stop betting until Saturday 259 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: at night. 260 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 3: So it's like I. 261 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: Got down a lot of money because I was able 262 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 4: to bet it all week without bringing that much attention 263 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 4: to me. I feel like that's what makes guys professionals. 264 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 4: Where you know, most amateur betters, they're just they're scared 265 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 4: to do something like that. They're scared to take those 266 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: bigger risks. I always tell people that's the hardest part 267 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 4: of it is kind of the sleepless nights and the 268 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 4: never any work. I mean, you're married, You're you're living 269 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: a pretty normal life. I have no kids, I'm not married. 270 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: I'll literally I'll put an eighty hour work weeks, like 271 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 4: I'm literally obsessed where I think even you get it too, 272 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 4: where there's some nights where you just wake up and 273 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: you just not even that you just want to work. 274 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 4: You just enjoy it and you just put the work 275 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 4: and then you go back to sleep. Whatever it is, 276 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 4: I'm obsessed with it. So I feel like if you 277 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 4: if you do this and you can handle the stress 278 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 4: of it, I feel like anyone, like a number professional. 279 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: The hardest part is money management. 280 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 4: And yeah that's something we didnt even talk about, but 281 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 4: that's like probably the biggest, the biggest deal about the 282 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: prow better. 283 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: You know. 284 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so we will get to the best bets for 285 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: the week. A couple of things here. One, I think 286 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: it's wonderful that you think I have a quote unquote 287 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: normal life. I definitely, I definitely do not have a 288 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: normal life. But the second thing, so you mentioned that 289 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys game on the road in Many, Minnesota. 290 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it about that game? 291 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: If I could say, like, other than the fact that 292 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: the the vikings were fraudulent, what was it about that 293 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: game other than that that made you look at the 294 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: situation and say, this is the spot where I'm going 295 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: all in and. 296 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: I gave out. 297 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 4: Like people can listen to my show it's free. I 298 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 4: gave out my secret sauce years ago and people still 299 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: don't listen to it. 300 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 3: It's the O line D line. That's where I really 301 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 3: do make my money. 302 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 4: Where yes, quarterback is the most important position on the field, 303 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: but so much of this game is just played within 304 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 4: the trenches of the O line D line, and that 305 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 4: is prepency of I think I at the time had 306 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 4: the Cowboys graded as my number one, number two D line. Yeah, 307 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 4: because I think this was before the foint out. I 308 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 4: was really took off, like both edges come back. So 309 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 4: I had the Egos at one, Dallas at two, and 310 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: then I had at thirty. If the thirtieth ranked O 311 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 4: line was the Vikings just because they had injuries to 312 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 4: their offensive line. Yeah, so that was a huge mismatch 313 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: where it's like, okay, that's that's a great sign. Then 314 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 4: once I got approval from my group where it was like, okay, 315 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 4: we'll back this. 316 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: Cause I said all the time, I not that I'm young. 317 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: I mean I'm old. 318 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 4: I'm in my thirties now, But they're just guys who've 319 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 4: been doing this. You know, they're in their sixties, seventies. 320 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 4: They just know it is bizarre. There is no model. 321 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 4: They just know these spots in these situations. And that 322 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 4: was one of those where like I was getting the 323 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 4: head and out from a lot of veteran guys were like, Yep, 324 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 4: this is where you this is where you take Dallas. 325 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: Now that we know Dallas was gonna want what was 326 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 4: it forty to eight? You know, well you did expect 327 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 4: that to be semi blow like then when by a 328 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 4: touchdown at least two touchdowns, just because such a bad 329 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 4: matchup for that Vikings team. So that is one of 330 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: those things where I'm trying to get better at like these, 331 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: not swallowing my pride, but like listen to the old 332 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 4: the older guys, because just the new wave everything's modeled out. 333 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 4: It's like, you know, I'm always gonna trust the numbers 334 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: over an older guy's opinion, But when it matches up together, 335 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 4: I feel like that's that's the best thing. When you 336 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: have the old school and new school that'll aligne on things, 337 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: just because they tend to always be right. Even though 338 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 4: we have the technology, they've just seen it all and 339 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: they know what to look for and they're usually right 340 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 4: in those positions. 341 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me think of I don't know, if 342 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: you ever read any of Teleeb's books. But you know, 343 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the kind of like the old traders 344 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: that he met whenever he got into into derivatives trading 345 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: and I think commodities futures trading, and how like they 346 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: didn't have any models, like but like they they were 347 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: always right, you know, like they just had sort of 348 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: this intuitive sense from having done it for decades about 349 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: where a market should be, like where the price would 350 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: go and should go. Uh So it makes me think 351 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: of that, all right. So last episode, Pat Fitzmorris and 352 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: I broke down the three Saturday games.

Simon one game that you are 368 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: on the Jags plus four hosting the Dallas Cowboys. Talk 369 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: to me about what you see in this game here? 370 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, not only is it a good spot to take 371 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: the Jaguars just because they're a team that seems to 372 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: kind of be figuring out what they are down the stretch. Here, 373 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 4: the Doug Peterson Trevor Lawrence coming into the season, I 374 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: thought that was gonna be a great combo, the fact 375 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: that he's going for him such a terrible coach to 376 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 4: a Super Bowl winning coach, Like there had to be 377 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: a big bump there. But there was bumps along the way, right. 378 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 4: They had so many games they just couldn't close it out. 379 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 4: And I do what I want to put that on 380 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawnce. I put that on Doug. But the biggest 381 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: thing here is the fact that Doug knows the Cowboys 382 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 4: so well. I mean, he played dak Man. I have 383 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 4: to look back, but I think he played him eight 384 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 4: times in his career. He just has seen a lot 385 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: of film and he's played against Dak a lot. He 386 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 4: knows exactly how to defend Doug. I mean Dak in 387 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 4: a sense that he knows this Cowboys team. But the 388 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 4: other side is it's a great look at spot for 389 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 4: this Cowboys team. This game does not really matter to them. No, 390 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 4: it matters to them next week against the Eagles on Christmas. 391 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: That's the big deal. I mean we already got was 392 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: it Parsons, I was talking about Hurts. 393 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: Right, yep? 394 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely, So you. 395 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 4: Already have Cowboys guys talking about opponent that's a week out. 396 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 4: It's a look ahead spot, it really is for this 397 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: Cowboys team. And then for the Jaguars team they can't 398 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 4: afford to drop any games. It's just kind of everything 399 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 4: for them, where this doesn't really matter that much to 400 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: the Cowboy They think they already know they're locked in 401 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 4: at the highest wild card seed. They're by far the 402 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: best team, and they're better than the Giants, They're better 403 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: than Washington. They're going ended up being that fifth seed 404 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: unless somehow they do win out in the Eagles drop 405 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 4: two here. But I look at a matchup here of Okay, 406 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 4: I know exactly what the strains are of this Dallas team. 407 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 4: Their run game is incredible. We've seen it their wide receivers. 408 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: Even even when Gallup has at a down year, he's 409 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 4: still a big body, strong receiver. But the weakness is 410 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 4: not that it's so much a weakness as their secondary. 411 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: But we've seen it last week. They're able to get people, 412 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 4: are able to go down field in the secondary like 413 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 4: that Digs. He is an incredible turnovers machine. But we've 414 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 4: seen big buyer receivers kind of get downfield on this 415 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: Cowboys team. That's what you have in the Jaguars, like 416 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 4: Zay Jones shockingly has been one of the better receivers 417 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 4: even in fantasy wise. He's been really staying up in 418 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 4: the past couple of weeks. So that's one of these 419 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 4: things you're looking at Jaguars team. The question is what 420 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 4: we're getting from Trevor Lawrence, and that's fair, but this 421 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 4: is four points, Like this is kind of ballooned up 422 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 4: where there's probably closer to three points. But the fact 423 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 4: that public is still like, I don't really know about 424 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 4: this Jaguars team. We're on the flip side. Just two 425 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 4: weeks ago, Dallas was leviewed as a top two, top 426 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 4: three team NFC. So to me, we're just getting three 427 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 4: points and then matchup that I don't really know how 428 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 4: serious Dallas is gonna be taking this, Like they know 429 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: on Christmas that's the game against the Eagles. 430 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: This game, it's kind of a tune up for them. 431 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: It's interesting. 432 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: So I haven't betted, but I have the Cowboys projected 433 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: at minus six here. The thing is, I see weaknesses 434 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: in their defense and there's a chance that I'm not 435 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: accounting enough for some of the injuries that they've had. 436 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: And so you know, the Cowboys number one in defensive 437 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: past DVOA, but they could be without all three of 438 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: their starting quarterbacks. Jordan Lewis is out, Anthony Brown is out, 439 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: and now Trevon Diggs is dealing with a thumb injury. 440 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: He's probably gonna play, but like there are issues with 441 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: him anyway, Like the best feature that he has is 442 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: intercepting the ball. It's gonna be a lot harder to 443 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 1: intercept the ball when he's got the thumb injury, and 444 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: he can be burned deep. And as you mentioned, yeah, 445 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: that Jags team, they have taken a significant. 446 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: Step forward over the past six. 447 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: Weeks, and you know part of it was, you know, 448 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was throwing some ill timed interceptions earlier in 449 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: the year, especially in the red zone. He's cleaned that up, 450 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean, no interceptions, I believe in the past six 451 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: weeks for him, you know, like he is really starting 452 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: to look like the guy who was the number one pick. 453 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: Like fantastic step forward for him. And so there's a chance, 454 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: with the injuries on the Cowboys defense and then the 455 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: strides that we've seen out of Jacksonville in the past 456 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: five or six weeks, that I haven't accounted enough for 457 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: that in my model. So even though I'm showing value 458 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys at minus six, I haven't bet it 459 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: yet because this just it feels like a spot where 460 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: I kind of know this might be where my model 461 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: isn't getting it right. 462 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that to me, is why the line moved 463 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 4: those because of the defensive injuries. Like it's just I 464 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 4: haven't talked any pro groups. I don't know I've heard 465 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 4: anyone coming heavy on the Jaguars just because there's other 466 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: dogs they like better this week. That's why I want 467 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: to grab this number early. Like you could have grabbed 468 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 4: just twelve hours ago was four and a half. Now 469 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 4: we're seeing to come down a little bit because of 470 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 4: these these injuries to Dallas. I mean, that's a big 471 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 4: deal to have guys out in your secondary where that's 472 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 4: pretty much what Jacksonville wants to do. 473 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 3: They want to tack the ball downfield. 474 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, all right. A game that I like here, 475 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if I say I like it, but 476 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: I bet it. The Steelers plus three on the road 477 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: at Carolina. And you know some of this is like 478 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: the I wouldn't say this is a Mike Tomlin raw 479 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: Ross spot, but you know Tomlin is an underdog that's historically, 480 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, a good spot to be forty nine to 481 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven and three against the spread as an underdog. 482 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 1: Even Mitch Trubisky as an underdog hasn't been horrible like 483 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: the rare spot where he's actually been profitable against the 484 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: spread fifteen eleven and two against the spread as an underdog. 485 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: And then Sam Donald, Sam Donald should almost never be 486 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: a favorite a favorite at any point. Twenty thirty and 487 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: one against the spread as as a favorite is Sam Donald? 488 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: Sorry? 489 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: Four and eight against the spread as a favorite is 490 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: Sam Donald? Twenty thirty and one against the spread for 491 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: his career. And you know, I think this is a 492 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: by low on the Steelers in a cell high on 493 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: the Panthers kind of spot. The Panthers are coming off 494 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: of a really good thirty to twenty four road underdog 495 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: win against the Seahawks. But you know, Donald, he had 496 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: just five point eight adjusted yards per attempt in that game. 497 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: That's right in line with his career average. It's not 498 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: like he did anything to win them that game. And 499 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, the Panthers, as great as they've been recently 500 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: six and two against the spread under interim head coach 501 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes. Uh, they're oh to three against the spread 502 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: this year as favorites, Right, they've been doing a lot 503 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: of their damage when they haven't had expectations in the market. 504 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: Now they actually have expectations, and I don't see that 505 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: going well. Wilkes uh to five uh oh to two 506 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: actually against this spread. Uh when he was a head 507 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: coach with the Cardinals. Uh. It's a small sample, but 508 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: it's kind of convincing, and that like they got shellacked 509 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: in both of those games when he was a favorite. 510 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: They failed to cover the spread by a margin of 511 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: thirteen point twenty five points in those games. So you know, 512 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: Wilkes when he's been favored, hasn't really been a good player. 513 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: And you know, so just a prime spot to sell 514 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: high on the Panthers. 515 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: And I think it's a good spot to buy low 516 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 2: on the Steelers. 517 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: Uh, you know last week kind of demoralizing sixteen to 518 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: fourteen loss as home favorites against the Ravens who were 519 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: playing without Lamar Jackson. We've got Kenny Pickett in the 520 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Seems highly unlo likely that he plays in 521 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: this game. But Trubisky, you know, he's a veteran, he's 522 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: better than Sam Darnold. And so I think the Steelers 523 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: have the edged quarterback. They've got the edgeit coach. And 524 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: I think the Panthers have a mediocre home field advantage. 525 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: So if you give me plus three with the Steelers 526 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: against a bad team, I'm gonna take it. 527 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say your your thinking here is right 528 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 4: in the sense that this a line is this line 529 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 4: moved a ton just based off what happened last week 530 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 4: where yeah, Carolina went to the Seahawks, they kind of 531 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 4: dominated and blew them ount in that game. 532 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: Flip side. Pittsburgh gave that game away. 533 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 4: I mean three turnovers, I think two of them were 534 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: in the red zone and a missfield goal. They lose 535 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 4: by three. What with this number of bents Steelers had won, 536 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 4: probably wouldn't be up to this what number it's at now. 537 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 4: Fear for me is just the fact that I feel 538 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 4: like it just touched on it where it's like Carolina 539 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 4: they're still playing for something. I really know what Pittsburgh's 540 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 4: playing for at this point. It kind of feels like 541 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 4: that was their season last week. Now we're hearing rumors 542 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 4: Mason Rudolph might start and teammates, you're asking for Mason 543 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 4: Rudolph to start. 544 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: Makes me a little worried to hear with this Steelers. 545 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 4: The Steelers bet Carolina they could be that team down 546 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 4: the stretch, they make a run and they make the 547 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: playoffs somehow where I left them for dead too, Like 548 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 4: Sam Darnald coming in, I mean, I couldn't believe what 549 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 4: happened last week. Maybe I was more about Geno having 550 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: a bad game, the fact that Carolina ran for two 551 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: hundred yards, But you're right, it's it's a good position 552 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 4: to be in. You're getting three points against Sam Donald 553 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 4: where there are a ton of expectations right now for 554 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 4: this team. So I get where your head's at. I 555 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 4: just I, personally, I haven't touched this one. 556 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, one game? 557 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: You do like Bucks Bengals under forty four here, talk 558 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: to us about what you're seeing. 559 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the biggest, stinkiest, fishiest lines of the week. 560 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 4: I mean the fact that the Bucks are only getting 561 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: mine or plus three at home. 562 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 3: I don't get it. I make this line six. 563 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: So when there's situations like this, we're on way off 564 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: on a line and the pros are telling me, no, 565 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 4: you want to be on the Buccaneers here, And I 566 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: said to them, I think you guys are just blindly 567 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 4: fading the Bengals because the Bengals are overvalid. We all 568 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 4: agree the Bengals, I mean, what is it, five straight, 569 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 4: six straight covers? I think they're eleven in on on 570 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 4: ats their last twelve. It's been incredible. The public has 571 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 4: been getting very fat off betting this Bengals team. But 572 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 4: I look at this Buccaneers team, I just cannot back them. 573 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 4: So if I'm looking for a huge advantage here, it's 574 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 4: gonna be the total the Bengals. Their defense has been 575 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 4: one of the best defenses offseason. I know they don't 576 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 4: get talked about because Joe Burrow is that guy. This 577 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 4: is a defense is only goiing a one touchdown the 578 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 4: second half all season. 579 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 3: That's insane. 580 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 4: The fact how far we are into the season they're 581 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 4: still playing so well. Buccaneers offense struggles. So if I'm 582 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: looking at a matchup of yeah, the Bengals moved the 583 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 4: ball last week, but you saw that was a big 584 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 4: deal that Chasers their only healthy receiver without Boyd out there, 585 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: without Higgins out there, I just don't have that expectations. 586 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow put up a ton of points against a 587 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 4: Buccaneers defense it usually plays stingy at home flip side. 588 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 4: I just don't know how the Bucks are going to score. 589 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 4: I really don't like I look at their offense. Not 590 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: only do they have really bad drops, it's everything with 591 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 4: Brady right now. He's not comfortable in the pocket, which 592 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 4: you rarely see with Brady. So the fact that the 593 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 4: total was hung so high. It took it at forty 594 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: f took it at forty four and a half. Now 595 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: it's down to forty four, I would still bet it. 596 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 4: I honestly would take it down to forty three, but 597 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 4: that's when I would probably start flipping once it gets 598 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 4: down to forty two and a half. 599 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: But I still think you're getting good value. 600 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 4: And they're calling for some rain on Sunday, so a 601 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 4: game to keep your eye on if you do want 602 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 4: this total. 603 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 3: On the under. 604 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: Interesting. 605 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: So I have this projected at forty three point four, 606 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: so I'm not you know, I'm not all that far 607 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: off from where the market is now. But to your point, 608 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: it opened higher and it has been bet down. One 609 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: thing that gives me a little bit of a pause here, 610 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: and you're right that I mean, this has been a 611 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: stingy defense for the Buccaneers, and in part because of 612 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: the defense and then their offensive inability to put up points, 613 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: this has been an under team throughout the entire season, 614 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: one of the most profitable teams to the under. The 615 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: defense isn't quite as healthy as I would want it 616 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: to be. So Jamel Dean, you know, it looks like 617 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: he's going to be out with a toe injury. 618 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: At least. 619 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: He missed practice on Wednesday and left last week early. 620 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: I'm a little skeptical that he plays Carl Nassib is 621 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: dealing with a peck injury, you know, Videveya dealing with 622 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: a calf injury, and they've got other injuries in the 623 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: secondary and some of those guys, you know, there's a 624 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: good chance that they will come back, but I'm not 625 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: sure they're gonna be at full health. So with the 626 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: defense that isn't as isn't as healthy as I would 627 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: want it to be. And like the offense is part 628 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: of it for the Buccaneers certainly, but the defense, like 629 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: they are going to need to be able to slow 630 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: down the Bengals or you know, I could see the 631 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: over hitting here, so I'm just like, I see the side, 632 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: like I lean towards your side. I just I haven't 633 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: bet it because I'm just not as confident in the 634 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: defensive health. 635 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 3: No, it's fair. 636 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, one other game here to talk about, and 637 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: this this is disgusting. I just gotta say that I 638 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: have if there's one team that I should never bet 639 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: on again this year, it's the Raiders. And I've said 640 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: it like almost every week, you know, especially like last 641 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: week after the choke job against the Rams, I was like, okay, 642 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm never betting on them. 643 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: I can't do it again. 644 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: Of course I said that the month before when they 645 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: lost to the Jeff Saturday led Colts, and was like, Okay, 646 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: I just I can't bet on this team again. 647 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: And I do it again. 648 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: I do it like it seems like every week. I 649 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: look at my projections, I look at the matchups, and 650 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: I see value on the Raiders. And so you like 651 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: Las Vegas here minus one. This number is kind of 652 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: fluctuating between plus one minus one on the Raiders. 653 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 3: I like. 654 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: I like the Raiders too. I have this number projected 655 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: at Raiders favored by one point two five points, and 656 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: so you know, if this is on the other side 657 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: of one or the other side of zero, I see 658 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: value in it here. But talk to me about the Raiders, 659 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: because like, I'm with you. It's just it hurts my 660 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: heart to be on this side. 661 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all I mean, we're getting sucked in. 662 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 4: I'm right there with you. Where like I can't get 663 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 4: this This Vegas team right. They're just one of those 664 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 4: teams that you know, even when you're covering, you've been 665 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 4: you've bet on them this year. 666 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 3: Everyone's had this film. 667 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 4: You're up by fourteen, you got no worries head in 668 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: the fourth they keep losing. They've had four games this 669 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 4: year they've lost that exact scenario. So I I'm looking 670 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 4: at a team that this has to be the lowest 671 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 4: for buying on them. Like they got embarrass in a 672 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 4: primetime game on Thursday. They've had a whole week to 673 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 4: sit on it, and the whole ten days to sit 674 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 4: on it. 675 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 3: The palls. 676 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 4: I guess the pause for most people is going to 677 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 4: be what kind of Vegas team are you getting? Because 678 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 4: week to week it is tough to know you're getting. 679 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 4: But the reason I like to value on them is 680 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 4: the fact they are getting Waller back and they're getting 681 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 4: Hunter run for It back, and that's a big deal 682 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 4: to this offense we've seen. That's really a safety blanket 683 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 4: for Derek Carr. I mean, yes, he loves Adams. We 684 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 4: saw what happened though. If you take away Adams, he 685 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 4: kind of gets a little fluster. He looks a little lost. 686 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: Now you're bringing back these other two biggest receivers. We 687 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 4: expect Jacobs to be healthy as well. Now after I 688 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 4: having an extended rest, he could get right. That's just 689 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 4: a really strong, I mean offense, and especially year against 690 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,479 Speaker 4: the Patriots team that we've seen them struggle against these 691 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 4: high powered offenses. I mean, you go through it the 692 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 4: Patriots this year, the teams they beat up on, it's 693 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: when they have backup quarterbacks and eight wins eighty three 694 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: percent of their wins this season have been have come 695 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 4: against backups. 696 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 3: So I can't overlook that. 697 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 4: But I'm with you, Like I felt sick betting this, 698 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 4: but it felt like I had to make this bet. 699 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 4: It was plus one, I took it up plus one. 700 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 4: It's down to minus one. Now in most books, i'd 701 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 4: still take that to me. Under three, you're getting good 702 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 4: value here. Is it's a big deal. The fact that 703 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 4: the Patriots are coming in. You know, they lost one 704 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: of their receivers, they lost our top running back. They're 705 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 4: getting against our Vegas team that's actually getting healthier. Now 706 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 4: to me, that's the big deal in this matchup where 707 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 4: the Patriots need to split this road games. I needed 708 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 4: to either beat the Cardinals or Vegas. I just can't 709 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: see him going to and zero on this road trip. 710 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 4: I can see him dropping this game here. 711 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's more certain that Waller returns than 712 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: that Renfro returns. But there's a chance both of those 713 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: guys suit up this weekend, and if that happens, then 714 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: I certainly am feeling much better about their raiders. Do 715 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: you have a sense, you know, like, okay, historically we 716 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: have seen assistance, former assistants or players who were under 717 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick at some point actually have success against him. 718 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would want to extend that 719 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: to Josh McDaniels, but like that potential dynamic is there. 720 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts on the sort of the 721 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: chess game matchup between Belichick and his former protege. 722 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 4: I would if he was running the same scheme, but 723 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 4: he kind of totally changed his scheme up Josh McDaniels. 724 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: He changed his scheme to fit Derek Carr's attribute. 725 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: So the fact that. 726 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 4: Belichick won't really have an advantage in that department is 727 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 4: a big deal on me. Then you look at the 728 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 4: other side, where I don't know, the defenders. The Patriots 729 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 4: really have to slow down the steam. If this was 730 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 4: outdoors in New England, man, that'd be great for this 731 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 4: New England defense. But this is indoors in Vegas. We've 732 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 4: seen how Vegas performs at home on that turf, So 733 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 4: it's just a big advantage to me. 734 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 3: To that Vegas team to be at home. 735 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Sunday night football here Commanders hosting the Giants. 736 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: We are on opposite side of this game, although I 737 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: got to say I don't feel great about the Giants 738 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: position that I have, But you like the Commander's minus four. 739 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 1: It half in a rematch of a game that we 740 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: saw just two weeks ago, and so an interesting dynamic. 741 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: You have the Commanders preparing for the Giants, playing the Giants, 742 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: going into the buy, coming out of the buy, and 743 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: playing the Giants. It's like they've had twenty one days 744 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: to prepare for this game. What are your thoughts on 745 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: the matchup we see here? 746 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely love Washington. 747 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 4: This is gonnaend up being probably my biggest bet of 748 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 4: the weekend. It's all all pointed towards it, where everyone 749 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: you talk to and on the streets, any guy you 750 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 4: talk to in the business as well, is gonna love 751 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 4: The Giants are like, yeah, they're getting four and a 752 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 4: half points against a team they just tied two weeks ago. 753 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 4: Why I look it from otherway where it's like that 754 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 4: was the game the Giants needed to steal, Like that 755 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 4: was their opportunity to think they didn't do it like 756 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 4: that tie. That was no good for them because to me, Washington, 757 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 4: they let that one get away this week, They're not 758 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 4: going to this game to me, should be closer to six. 759 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 4: The fact that it is four and a half, there's 760 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 4: a good value there on Washington. It's a primetime game. 761 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 4: It is not gonna shock anyone. Ninety percent of the money, 762 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 4: eighty seven percent of the tickets right now is coming on 763 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 4: the Giants team. So all the money, all the bets 764 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 4: are coming on the Giants. This number is just sat 765 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 4: at four and a half all week, and it's gonna 766 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 4: keep sitting there all week because once they move at 767 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 4: the four, pros like me and a lot of other guys, 768 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 4: they hit the four right away and they bumped it 769 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: right back to four and a half. So this is 770 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 4: going to be one of the bigger pros versus shows games. 771 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 4: The public will be all over on the Giants and 772 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 4: what they assume will be a close NFC East battle 773 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 4: on Sunday night. And to me, I look at this 774 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 4: Washington team that they are not in a great spot 775 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 4: to just dominate this Giants team. But it's it's all 776 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 4: there like they're rested, like you just said they had 777 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 4: twenty one days to prepare for this team twice, Like 778 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 4: that's a big deal. You don't think that's a big deal. 779 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, the Giants had to throw out their 780 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 4: game scrip, play the Eagles, get dominated by the Eagles, 781 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 4: and then turn around and play this game where Washington they 782 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 4: got to relax, get their bodies right, and then just 783 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 4: prepare for them all week. 784 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 3: So I love the summer. I would take it up 785 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 3: to six. 786 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: That's a that's a big number. Six big. 787 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, oh man betting lizard heinike Man. 788 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I also have I mean I have interested in 789 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: this on the under and uh, looking at it right now, 790 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: I believe it's around forty. Do you have any any 791 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: thoughts on the total here for this game because it 792 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: feels like, okay, divisional rematch outdoor game in December. Uh, 793 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: it feels a little bit like an underspot. But do 794 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: you have any thoughts on the total here? 795 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, our guy Chris On convinced me gave out the 796 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 4: under at that game two weeks ago. That was at 797 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 4: forty and a half. They went to overtime and he 798 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 4: still hit the under. So that was one of those 799 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 4: where It felt like I sold my soul already tatting 800 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 4: and under in this matchup. You're right, this is the 801 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 4: right thing to do is take the under in this game. 802 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 4: But I'm gonna stay away for the toll just because 803 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 4: of that. That was that to me, will be my 804 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 4: luckiest underhit of the year taking that under in that game. 805 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 3: It went to overtime and still hit forty and a half. 806 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, no, don't be scared of that number. Don't 807 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 4: be scared of Washington here. That's what the bookmakers are 808 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 4: trying to get you to do. They're like, we'll bake 809 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 4: it a big number, will be all over the Giants, 810 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 4: but it's not. It's not that big of a number 811 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 4: where these two teams are just going in very different directions, 812 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 4: and we've seen that over the last couple of weeks. 813 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 4: I really do think the Giants left that one slip 814 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 4: like that was a great spot to catch that Washington team. 815 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 4: Washington had been on a five game winning streak. They were, 816 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 4: you know, burnt out, They're about to head into their 817 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 4: bye week. The Giants had them at home. They're up 818 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 4: seven heading into the fourth quarter. All they needed was 819 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 4: a field goal to put that game away and they 820 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 4: couldn't do it. So I feel like the Giants already 821 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 4: had their game, they let it slip away, and this 822 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 4: is when Washington comes out just dominates them. 823 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, last game here to talk about Monday 824 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: night Football. I'm imagining pro that you are you will 825 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,959 Speaker 1: be looking at this game differently than I am looking 826 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: at I'll just say, like, I know, I know the 827 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: sharp side. 828 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: I know the sharp side is the Rams. I know that. 829 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: Okay, I can't help myself here I am. I am 830 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: on the Packers at minus seven here, and by the way, 831 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: I will just say, I bet this in the maximal 832 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: pain maximal pain here. I bet this in the look 833 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: ahead market at minus nine. This was before the Rams 834 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: played on Thursday Night Football, and I was thinking minus nine, 835 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: there's a chance, like I thought there was a better 836 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: chance that this would get to minus ten than minus seven. 837 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: And evidently I was wrong because the Rams went and 838 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: did what they did and this money. 839 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: Has just come in on the Rams. 840 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 1: But anyway, I logged it in the betting pros app 841 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: where you can you know, sync up with sportsbooks, you 842 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: can get free betting advice.

And you can download 847 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: the app today in the Apple or Google Play Store. 848 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: So I am on, I mean, I'm on the Packers 849 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: here and it's disgusting, but there's there's some historical trends 850 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: here Sean McVay oh to five against the spread and 851 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: temperature of no more than forty degrees, and that, I 852 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: know you can relate that to Jared Goff, but that 853 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 1: also that tied in to Stafford, Stafford zero to two 854 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: in that sample, even though Stafford had years of playing 855 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: in the very cold nfctate North Baker Mayfield eighteen thirty 856 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: three and one against the spread in all of the 857 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: years after his you know, somewhat magical rookie season. And 858 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: then for the Packers, this is the Aaron Rodgers like 859 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: total eclipse smash spot, Aaron Rodgers. A lot of quarterbacks, 860 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: they they don't overperform as favorites historically, but Rogers is 861 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: one of those, like rare cats, that actually has outperformed 862 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: expectations as a favorite. Ninety eight seventy and three against 863 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: the spread for his career as a favorite at home 864 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: sixty seven thirty seven and three against the spread, and 865 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,479 Speaker 1: then off of a buy in the regular season nine 866 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: three and one against the spread. You line all of 867 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: that up in this spot, and Rogers is four to 868 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 1: zero to one against the spread as a home favorite 869 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: off of the buy, and that like I understand, like 870 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: small sample trends, but like Rogers is in a spot 871 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: where historically things have gone well for him, and so 872 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: again I jumped on this early. I know that this 873 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: line is six and a half seven in the market, 874 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: but I still see value. I have this projected at 875 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: Packers minus nine, and the analysis here is fairly straightforward. 876 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: The Packers aren't nearly as bad as the Rams. Like, 877 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: say whatever you want about Rogers, but he's number two 878 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: in the league with nine multi touchdown passing games. He's 879 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: got a good matchup. The Rams are number twenty eight 880 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: in defensive dropback EPA. He's got Christian Watson who's playing 881 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: like you know, I don't know, the second coming of 882 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: Randy Moss, and all of it is just lining up 883 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: for Rogers in this spot. And it's a cold weather 884 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: game forecast of five degrees fahrenheit. You know, so Rogers 885 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 1: in that situation playing against a warm weather dome team. 886 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm fine laying seven with Rogers at home with eight 887 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: extra days to rest and prepare for this game. Simon, 888 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: where are you on this game? And if you have 889 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: the other side, totally fine with that. But I'll just 890 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: I'll burn my money now. 891 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 3: No, I was honestly, I came in. 892 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, I would take the 893 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,720 Speaker 4: Rams there just because of the matchup with two bad teams. 894 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 3: But I feel like you're on line with the pros. 895 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 4: I talked to a couple of pros who actually love 896 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 4: green Bay in this position, and they are open it'll 897 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 4: get back to six and a half, and as soon 898 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 4: as it did, they all hit it and went right 899 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 4: back to seven. Makes sense, Like the books, they'll be 900 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 4: happy if they need green Bay in this spot. Like, yes, please, everyone, 901 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 4: come bet Baker in this Rams team after they just 902 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 4: had a miracle comeback. I think if you are a 903 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 4: person has all twenty two and you watch the film 904 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 4: of that game, that was more about the Raiders defense 905 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 4: than anything Baker is doing. I know Baker made the throws, 906 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 4: but man was that defense run and executed terribly by 907 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 4: that Raiders team. I don't really think we're gonna get 908 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 4: that here at Green Bay like them, especially at home 909 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 4: in a prime tang game like this, and we already 910 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 4: know there's no Donald like you can run the ball, 911 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 4: There's no Aaron Donald on this Rams team. And the 912 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 4: fact that's what Green Bay wants to do it with 913 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 4: their two headed monster. I don't even have to put 914 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 4: it do much on Aaron Rodgers to me, Aaron, we 915 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 4: need him in the red zone. We've seen he's really 916 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 4: stepped up big these last couple weeks for them in 917 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 4: the red zone. And you know, Green Bay they're one 918 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 4: of those teams where it's just the flows of the season, 919 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 4: like they had that stretch in the middle of the season. 920 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 4: I think it was like I don't say Week five 921 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 4: to Week nine, where they pretty much were losing every game. 922 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 4: They just could not get out of their own way. 923 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 4: And now we've seen not that they figure out who 924 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 4: they are. You kind of see them turn a corner 925 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 4: here though they kind of the Rogers. All these guys, 926 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 4: I'm not as bad as they were earlier in the season. 927 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 4: So you're right, this number probably should be still be 928 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 4: up at nine. The fact that Baker came all the 929 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 4: way back really shouldn't matter in this matchup, just because 930 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,959 Speaker 4: it's irrelevant to it. So, you know, six and a half, 931 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 4: I would grab it on green bed at seven, I 932 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 4: just wouldn't play aside. 933 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: All right, Simon, thanks for joining us.
