1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Driving Nick Right? Episode four to ten hour,

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. Can't believe It's final the year gambling show.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: This episode of What's Right when Nick Wright is presented

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: to you, as always by boost Mobile, a reminder everyone

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: to everyone to like, rate, subscribe, and review, and a

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: reminder that all our lines come courtesy our friends at

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet Demons. Last week, we knew it was

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one. I gotta say we went

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: one in four. I don't feel badly about any of them,

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: so I hate the fact that going one and four

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: puts us a game under five hundred for the year,

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: to forty one forty two and two. But if we

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: go through the picks, we can, you know, explain away.

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's explain away, But just so,

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: we had Dallas minus six and a half at Washington

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: they won by seven. That was a good one to

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: get early. As we said, we liked getting the favorites early,

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: but that cut against us. On Jacksonville. We had Jacksonville

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: minus six and a half at Indy that went down

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: to five and a half by Friday. They ended up

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: winning by six. So those two kind of offset each other.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: So to speak.

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Then you have the three Stone losers that Pittsburgh minus

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: four at Cleveland. My concern there was exclusively if Baltimore loses,

25
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh won't care Baltimore won. Pittsburgh was peak motivated for

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: that game, and Rogers just played one of the worst

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: games anyone's played at quarterback all year. In a big spot,

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't My handicap on it was that Cleveland would

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: struggle to get to fourteen. They didn't get to fourteen.

30
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: I thought Shador would struggle against Tomlin's defense. He did,

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. That's how bad Rogers. Buffalo minus two

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: and a half against Philly, the again, that was I'm

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of it. I got it's because

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: if Buffalo, if they just don't miss the first extra point,

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't get blocked. The best cases, they win by one.

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: But it felt to me like Buffalo was the more

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: trustworthy team. I guess they weren't, but that was I

38
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: don't feel like we were way off on it. The

39
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo ended up losing by one, could have won by one.

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: We the Maybe the smarter line there is take the

41
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Eagles getting points, because a really good team getting points.

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I thought Buffalo at home, and Chicago plus three at

43
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the Niners in a game that that game was tied

44
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: seven to seven, fourteen, fourteen, twenty one, twenty eight, thirty five,

45
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: thirty five, and I'm getting three points. The Bears were

46
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: covering literally every minute of that game until the final

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: two minutes they were either covering or winning. And so

48
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: we have had three and two weeks where I felt

49
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: like I didn't my process was not as good as

50
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: this one and two week. But it is what it is.

51
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: It's one and four. It means to finish the regular

52
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: season at five hundred, I have to go three and two,

53
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: and to finish above five hundred, I have to go

54
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: four and one or five, and oh, it is what

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: it is. I also did a stupid Christmas Day teaser

56
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: that I should have just left the teasers to you.

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: I lost that one, so I had Detroit to win.

58
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: They didn't win this week though. Week eighteen always tricky,

59
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: particularly at this moment early in the week. We don't

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: have all the info, but I think I have a

61
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: sound strategy. We'll bring it to you in a moment. First,

00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 1: All right, demons, let's get to the games this week

102
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: that we are not playing.

103
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: First, stay away is Cleveland at Cincinnati. Cincinnati seven and

104
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: a half point favorites.

105
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, neither team has anything on the line. Neither

106
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: team can even play spoiler for the other team. It

107
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: feels like Cincinnati should win by a touchdown. I also wonder, though,

108
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: in this game, do we see a little Jake Browning? What?

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't you know? The what does? How much does

110
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: Burrow play? I just neither team anything to play for,

111
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: even really, draft positioning not so much. So we're staying away.

112
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Next Cleveland, plus the point should we're trying to prove

113
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: something Tennessee. Yeah, jackson Tennessee at Jacksonville. Jacksonville's twelve and

114
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: a half point favorites.

115
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: So problem here is this if during the Jacksonville game,

116
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: they see that the there are some foot off the

117
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: gas possibilities. If New England jumps out to a huge

118
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: lead and Denver jumps out to a huge lead, Jacksonville's

119
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: incentives die a bit. Now they still need to they

120
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: haven't locked up the division, so they have to win

121
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: or else Houston can steal the division from them. But

122
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't love the idea of laying a huge number

123
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: with a team that could be if you know, if

124
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Houston's losing New England and the Denver winning by a lot,

125
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Jacksonville all of a sudden is playing for nothing and

126
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: they are not going to pour it on. Plus, Tennessee's

127
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: playing a little bit better as of late. With that said,

128
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's way better than the Titans, So I'm not taking

129
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: the Titans plus points, staying away.

130
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: Next, Dallas are the Giants. Giants four point dogs.

131
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: I like Dallas in this spot, However, again, we're not

132
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna spend a lot of The stay away logic is similar.

133
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if Dak will play the whole game.

134
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: The Giants obviously, you know know they're not getting the

135
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: number one pick after the win last week. Those Jackson

136
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: Dart doesn't want them to get the number one pick anyway.

137
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 1: He wants to keep that job. But I'm just staying

138
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: away from it. Next.

139
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Next, you got New Orleans and Atlanta. Atlanta's three point favorites.

140
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah so, and that's obviously devastating for Tampa. If Atlanta

141
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: were to win this game, because then they're out no

142
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: matter what. I kind of like New Orleans the way

143
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck's been playing, but Bijon coming off, you know,

144
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: he a late push maybe for Offensive Player of the year.

145
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Scary a bit, so I'll stay away. Next.

146
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: Next, you got Indy at Houston. Houston'ston that point favorites.

147
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: What will the Colts look like with Ryley Leonard? Because

148
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is done, They're gonna start Riley Leonard this week.

149
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. Houston obviously very incentivized to win this

150
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: game because they can win the division, but they also

151
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: want to stay in the five spot, and so Houston

152
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: really needs the game. I just don't think Houston's offense

153
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: is good enough to lay ten and a half points

154
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: against anyone. So I'm staying away.

155
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 2: Next, Uh, Green Bay at Minnesota. Minnesota six and a

156
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: half point favorites. What the heck?

157
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because green Bay's they don't the green Bays

158
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: locked into the seven. Yeah, green Bay can't move, So

159
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: Max Brosmer is a six and a half point favorite.

160
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: What a weird game it all? I mean it could

161
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: be who is the Packers third string quarterback? The kid Clayton.

162
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: It could be Clayton tune against Max Brosmer. Oh, I'm

163
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: not wagering American dollars on that game. Staying away.

164
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: Next. Next, we got Chargers at Denver. Denver's thirteen point favorites.

165
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: Denver obviously has to win to be the one seed.

166
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: I also though, but I don't want to lay thirteen

167
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: points because I feel like that Trey Lance might. Yeah,

168
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Herbert's obviously out. Trey Lance might feel like this is

169
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: my opportunity. He looked fine in the preseason.

170
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Chargers too. I know it's Denvers.

171
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Well, it's just I think they're gonna be resting a

172
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: bunch of guys. But I also think it'll be a

173
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: low possession game because they're gonna be running the ball

174
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: so much. So I'm just staying away.

175
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: Next, Washington at Philly. Philly seven and a half point favorites.

176
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: So this is Philly. If Philly wins, they can get

177
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: the two seed if Chicago loses. But that also means

178
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: if they see Chicago's way ahead of Detroit, they might

179
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: start resting people. Also, I don't think Philly's offense right

180
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: now is worthy enough to lay more than a touchdown

181
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: particularly when we don't know if they're gonna be peak motivated.

182
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: Next, Oh what you got Detroit at Chicago? Chicago's two

183
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites.

184
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Chicago needs the game, but I feel like if Dan

185
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: Campbell's team isn't gonna quit on Dan Campbell and they're

186
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna want to go out a little bit better than

187
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: they looked and they're on extra extra rest. Chicago played.

188
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: When did Chicago play Sunday night? Detroit played Thursday? So

189
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm staying away. Next.

190
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Next you got the Jets at Buffalo, Buffalo seven and

191
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: a half point favorites.

192
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: The fact that Jets are the Buffalo's only seven and

193
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: a half point favorites means they're worried Josh Allen might

194
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: sit or might only play a half since we don't

195
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: know that'll stay away.

196
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: Next, Arizona at the Rams. Rams are eight point favorites.

197
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: I will bet this game on. I will bet the

198
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: Rams if Seattle win Saturday Night. If Seattle wins Saturday Night,

199
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: then the Rams are playing to be the five seed.

200
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: If the Niners win Saturday Night, then the Rams are

201
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: locked into the sixth seed. So right, So if they're

202
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: locked into the sixth seed. I wouldn't bet them. If

203
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: they're playing for the five I might or I will,

204
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: all right, demon say five games, I'm betting. Let's go all.

205
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: Right with you riding with your boy. First game you

206
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: got Tampa Bay minus two and a half at Carolina

207
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: or versus Carolina.

208
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: Sorry, Baker, just can't go out like this. They just

209
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: can't go there is. Carolina has been better. Tampa's been

210
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in football for two months.

211
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: But they're at home. They're laying less than a field goal.

212
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: To have any chance of making the playoffs, they obviously

213
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: have to win, and then they have to root for

214
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: the Saints the next day. I just don't think Tampa's

215
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna go out this sad. I'll lay the two and

216
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: a half with Tampa next.

217
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: Seattle minus won at San Francisco.

218
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't think the Niners defense, and it's thirty second

219
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: in the league in sacks, it's gonna be able to

220
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: impact Darnald the way the Rams have been able to

221
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: get to him at times this year, the way we've

222
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: seen him when he has struggled. He didn't play well

223
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: against Carolina, by the way, I think Seattle's better. I

224
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: think it makes more sense for Seattle to be the

225
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: one seed. Seattle they played early in the year, and

226
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: Seattle had the ball in Week one, had the ball

227
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: inside the red zone with a chance to seal at

228
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: the end, Darnald fumbled. I think they get back. I

229
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: think Seattle gets the one seed. I think Seattle will

230
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: lay the point. I think they went next next.

231
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 2: You got Vegas plus five and a half versus Kansas

232
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: City pad against them every week. Well, guy's going.

233
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: On, You just you just can't. I didn't bet against

234
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: them last week. I teased against them and they pushing.

235
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs offense right now just can't be five

236
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against anybody. And I'm not

237
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: saying this is how the Chiefs will operate, But what

238
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: I am saying is this, the Chief's ability to cost

239
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders the number one overall pick to prevent the

240
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Raiders from being able to fix their quarterback problem is

241
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: legitimately valuable. So it's less about the Chiefs improving their

242
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: draft status and more about the Chiefs being able to

243
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: screw the Raiders where the Raiders with a loss get

244
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: the number one pick. And even if I just don't

245
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs right now can beat anyone by a touchdown.

246
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball, they can't pass the ball,

247
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: they can't move the football, and they're on the road.

248
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have the juice of Arrowhead from last week.

249
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I'll take the Raiders plus five and a half.

250
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: Next, Miami plus twelve at New England. Baby, it's just.

251
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: A lot of points. Mike McDaniel's trying to save his job.

252
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Uh And there's usually one Week eighteen, big favorite that

253
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: needs the game that all of a sudden it's tied

254
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. It feels like it might be

255
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: this one. I know Mike McDaniel has all these awful

256
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: cold weather stats, but are those Mike McDaniel's stats or

257
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: are those TUA stats. I'm getting twelve points. I'll take

258
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Miami plus twelve and last We're gonna go out on

259
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: our shield on this one. Even though I'm so mad

260
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: at Aaron Rodgers.

261
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: Next, Pittsburgh plus three and a half versus Baltimore.

262
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't really care who's playing quarterback for Baltimore in

263
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: this game, to be honest, a banged up Lamar or

264
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Huntley that we saw last week. I'm just like Pittsburgh

265
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: getting the points. This game is going someone's winning this

266
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: game by three. I don't know who I'm getting three

267
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: and a half points, So I'll take Pittsburgh plus three

268
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: and a half. We know all the Tomlin getting Tomlin

269
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: getting points at home divisional games. I mean, I don't

270
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: know if he's ever lost. So my five picks this

271
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: week are Tampa minus two and a half against Carolina,

272
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Seattle minus one against the Niners, the Raiders getting five

273
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: and a half against Kansas City, Miami getting twelve in

274
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: New England, Pittsburgh getting three and a half at home

275
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. You ever notice how everything keeps going up?

276
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: Rints going up, streaming services going up, favorite burrito spots

287
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: a another's week, another winner. I think you started off

288
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: the year like one in four and since then you're

289
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: eight and three on teasers.

290
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it's got started off nice and then

291
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: kind of lost like three four games in a row.

292
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. I think you've only lost one since

293
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: Mila's been born. You've been red hot talk us through

294
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: last week's.

295
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: Last week's was a three team eight point teaser a

296
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: plus one hundred. We had Philly up to plus ten

297
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: and a half, they won the game. We had Jacksonville

298
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: up to plus one and a half, they won the

299
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: they won the game, and then we had Chicago up

300
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: to plus eleven. They lost, but they still covered.

301
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: It and a game it today.

302
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: It was a great teaser, Thank you, sir. And this

303
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: week is a three team eight point teaser at you

304
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: guessed it, plus one hundred, Carolina's up till plus ten

305
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: and a half, Pittsburgh go to plus eleven and a half,

306
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 2: and then Buffalo basically a pick him at plus half point.

307
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I'm feeling so.

308
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: I love the first two legs. I'm wondering if there's

309
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: a third leg I would like more.

310
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: I don't the Bills need to win the game. It's

311
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: the Jets or are they They're stuck in theirn No.

312
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: I know the Bills the Bills. Here's the thing, the

313
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: Bills need to win assuming the Bills want to move

314
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: up from seven to six. Now, they can move up

315
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: from seven to five if Houston and the Chargers lose.

316
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: But here's the scenario I'd be worried about. But again,

317
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: they're playing the Jets, so you probably chet is Houston

318
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: is rolling, and so they know they can't get up

319
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: to the five. The Bills rather be the seven and

320
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: play New England or be the six and play Jacksonville.

321
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: That's the only that's the only question is do you

322
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: know would they rather? They certainly want to be the five,

323
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: But if they know they can't be the five, do

324
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: they pull Josh Allen and say we're fine being the

325
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: seven with a rubber match against New England.

326
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: It's not the question is that the Jets are really bad,

327
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: and I think even if the Bills were trying to

328
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 2: give them the game, the Bills could still end up

329
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: winning it.

330
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's probably correct. All right,

331
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a touchdown Genie this week.

332
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: Demons, you were going, who are who AFC NFC Mike

333
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: Evans touchdown? Yeah, Mike Evans.

334
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: Plus one sixty five anytime touchdown.

335
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: I think he just needs like a five hundred yard

336
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: game to continue the one case.

337
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's all. It needs. Five hundred yard game.

338
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: So that's gonna end. But I will do a Mike

339
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: Evans anytime touchdown. I failed you guys on the offer

340
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: last week. I am not doing an offer this week,

341
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: and we are Listen, we need to go at least

342
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: three and two, just clear at least so we can

343
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: be five hundred or better. Five of the six years

344
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: we've done this, only one actual bad year, and then

345
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs staring at like an eleven and three

346
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: playoff run against the spread. That's the plan, that's the hope.

347
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: Good everyone, Happy New Year. Be safe. Even if you're sober,
