WEBVTT - NFL Week 18 Predictions: Ravens-Steelers, Seahawks-49ers, Panthers-Bucs, Lions-Bears | Nick Wright

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in What's Driving Nick Right? Episode four to ten hour,

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Week eighteen. Can't believe It's final the year gambling show.

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>This episode of What's Right when Nick Wright is presented

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to you, as always by boost Mobile, a reminder everyone

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to everyone to like, rate, subscribe, and review, and a

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>reminder that all our lines come courtesy our friends at

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>hard Rock Bet Demons. Last week, we knew it was

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a tough one. I gotta say we went

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>one in four. I don't feel badly about any of them,

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>so I hate the fact that going one and four

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>puts us a game under five hundred for the year,

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to forty one forty two and two. But if we

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>go through the picks, we can, you know, explain away.

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's explain away, But just so,

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>we had Dallas minus six and a half at Washington

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>they won by seven. That was a good one to

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>get early. As we said, we liked getting the favorites early,

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>but that cut against us. On Jacksonville. We had Jacksonville

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>minus six and a half at Indy that went down

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>to five and a half by Friday. They ended up

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>winning by six. So those two kind of offset each other.

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>So to speak.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Then you have the three Stone losers that Pittsburgh minus

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>four at Cleveland. My concern there was exclusively if Baltimore loses,

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh won't care Baltimore won. Pittsburgh was peak motivated for

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that game, and Rogers just played one of the worst

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>games anyone's played at quarterback all year. In a big spot,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't My handicap on it was that Cleveland would

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>struggle to get to fourteen. They didn't get to fourteen.

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought Shador would struggle against Tomlin's defense. He did,

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it didn't matter. That's how bad Rogers. Buffalo minus two

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and a half against Philly, the again, that was I'm

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>on the wrong side of it. I got it's because

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>if Buffalo, if they just don't miss the first extra point,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't get blocked. The best cases, they win by one.

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>But it felt to me like Buffalo was the more

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>trustworthy team. I guess they weren't, but that was I

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like we were way off on it. The

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo ended up losing by one, could have won by one.

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>We the Maybe the smarter line there is take the

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Eagles getting points, because a really good team getting points.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought Buffalo at home, and Chicago plus three at

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the Niners in a game that that game was tied

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>seven to seven, fourteen, fourteen, twenty one, twenty eight, thirty five,

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.239
<v Speaker 1>thirty five, and I'm getting three points. The Bears were

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>covering literally every minute of that game until the final

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>two minutes they were either covering or winning. And so

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 1>we have had three and two weeks where I felt

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>like I didn't my process was not as good as

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>this one and two week. But it is what it is.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>It's one and four. It means to finish the regular

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>season at five hundred, I have to go three and two,

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and to finish above five hundred, I have to go

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>four and one or five, and oh, it is what

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it is. I also did a stupid Christmas Day teaser

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that I should have just left the teasers to you.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 1>I lost that one, so I had Detroit to win.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>They didn't win this week though. Week eighteen always tricky,

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>particularly at this moment early in the week. We don't

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>have all the info, but I think I have a

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>sound strategy. We'll bring it to you in a moment. First,

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.040

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, demons, let's get to the games this week

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that we are not playing.

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 2>First, stay away is Cleveland at Cincinnati. Cincinnati seven and

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a half point favorites.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, neither team has anything on the line. Neither

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>team can even play spoiler for the other team. It

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>feels like Cincinnati should win by a touchdown. I also wonder, though,

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>in this game, do we see a little Jake Browning? What?

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't you know? The what does? How much does

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Burrow play? I just neither team anything to play for,

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>even really, draft positioning not so much. So we're staying away.

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Next Cleveland, plus the point should we're trying to prove

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>something Tennessee. Yeah, jackson Tennessee at Jacksonville. Jacksonville's twelve and

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 2>a half point favorites.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So problem here is this if during the Jacksonville game,

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>they see that the there are some foot off the

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>gas possibilities. If New England jumps out to a huge

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>lead and Denver jumps out to a huge lead, Jacksonville's

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>incentives die a bit. Now they still need to they

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't locked up the division, so they have to win

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>or else Houston can steal the division from them. But

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't love the idea of laying a huge number

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>with a team that could be if you know, if

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Houston's losing New England and the Denver winning by a lot,

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville all of a sudden is playing for nothing and

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>they are not going to pour it on. Plus, Tennessee's

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>playing a little bit better as of late. With that said,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville's way better than the Titans, So I'm not taking

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the Titans plus points, staying away.

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Next, Dallas are the Giants. Giants four point dogs.

0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I like Dallas in this spot, However, again, we're not

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna spend a lot of The stay away logic is similar.

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Dak will play the whole game.

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>The Giants obviously, you know know they're not getting the

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>number one pick after the win last week. Those Jackson

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Dart doesn't want them to get the number one pick anyway.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.559
<v Speaker 1>He wants to keep that job. But I'm just staying

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>away from it. Next.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Next, you got New Orleans and Atlanta. Atlanta's three point favorites.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah so, and that's obviously devastating for Tampa. If Atlanta

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>were to win this game, because then they're out no

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 1>matter what. I kind of like New Orleans the way

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Shuck's been playing, but Bijon coming off, you know,

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>he a late push maybe for Offensive Player of the year.

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Scary a bit, so I'll stay away. Next.

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Next, you got Indy at Houston. Houston'ston that point favorites.

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 1>What will the Colts look like with Ryley Leonard? Because

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Philip Rivers is done, They're gonna start Riley Leonard this week.

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Houston obviously very incentivized to win this

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>game because they can win the division, but they also

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>want to stay in the five spot, and so Houston

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>really needs the game. I just don't think Houston's offense

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>is good enough to lay ten and a half points

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>against anyone. So I'm staying away.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Next, Uh, Green Bay at Minnesota. Minnesota six and a

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>half point favorites. What the heck?

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, because green Bay's they don't the green Bays

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>locked into the seven. Yeah, green Bay can't move, So

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Max Brosmer is a six and a half point favorite.

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>What a weird game it all? I mean it could

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>be who is the Packers third string quarterback? The kid Clayton.

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>It could be Clayton tune against Max Brosmer. Oh, I'm

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>not wagering American dollars on that game. Staying away.

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Next. Next, we got Chargers at Denver. Denver's thirteen point favorites.

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Denver obviously has to win to be the one seed.

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I also though, but I don't want to lay thirteen

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>points because I feel like that Trey Lance might. Yeah,

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Herbert's obviously out. Trey Lance might feel like this is

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.599
<v Speaker 1>my opportunity. He looked fine in the preseason.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, Chargers too. I know it's Denvers.

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's just I think they're gonna be resting a

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>bunch of guys. But I also think it'll be a

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>low possession game because they're gonna be running the ball

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>so much. So I'm just staying away.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Next, Washington at Philly. Philly seven and a half point favorites.

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 1>So this is Philly. If Philly wins, they can get

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the two seed if Chicago loses. But that also means

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>if they see Chicago's way ahead of Detroit, they might

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>start resting people. Also, I don't think Philly's offense right

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>now is worthy enough to lay more than a touchdown

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>particularly when we don't know if they're gonna be peak motivated.

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Next, Oh what you got Detroit at Chicago? Chicago's two

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and a half point favorites.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Chicago needs the game, but I feel like if Dan

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Campbell's team isn't gonna quit on Dan Campbell and they're

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna want to go out a little bit better than

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 1>they looked and they're on extra extra rest. Chicago played.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>When did Chicago play Sunday night? Detroit played Thursday? So

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm staying away. Next.

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Next you got the Jets at Buffalo, Buffalo seven and

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 2>a half point favorites.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 1>The fact that Jets are the Buffalo's only seven and

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a half point favorites means they're worried Josh Allen might

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>sit or might only play a half since we don't

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>know that'll stay away.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Next, Arizona at the Rams. Rams are eight point favorites.

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I will bet this game on. I will bet the

0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Rams if Seattle win Saturday Night. If Seattle wins Saturday Night,

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>then the Rams are playing to be the five seed.

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>If the Niners win Saturday Night, then the Rams are

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>locked into the sixth seed. So right, So if they're

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>locked into the sixth seed. I wouldn't bet them. If

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>they're playing for the five I might or I will,

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, demon say five games, I'm betting. Let's go all.

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Right with you riding with your boy. First game you

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>got Tampa Bay minus two and a half at Carolina

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>or versus Carolina.

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Baker, just can't go out like this. They just

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>can't go there is. Carolina has been better. Tampa's been

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst teams in football for two months.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>But they're at home. They're laying less than a field goal.

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>To have any chance of making the playoffs, they obviously

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>have to win, and then they have to root for

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the Saints the next day. I just don't think Tampa's

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna go out this sad. I'll lay the two and

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>a half with Tampa next.

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Seattle minus won at San Francisco.

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Niners defense, and it's thirty second

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>in the league in sacks, it's gonna be able to

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>impact Darnald the way the Rams have been able to

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>get to him at times this year, the way we've

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>seen him when he has struggled. He didn't play well

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>against Carolina, by the way, I think Seattle's better. I

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 1>think it makes more sense for Seattle to be the

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>one seed. Seattle they played early in the year, and

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Seattle had the ball in Week one, had the ball

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>inside the red zone with a chance to seal at

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the end, Darnald fumbled. I think they get back. I

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>think Seattle gets the one seed. I think Seattle will

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>lay the point. I think they went next next.

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 2>You got Vegas plus five and a half versus Kansas

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>City pad against them every week. Well, guy's going.

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>On, You just you just can't. I didn't bet against

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>them last week. I teased against them and they pushing.

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>But the Chiefs offense right now just can't be five

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and a half point favorites against anybody. And I'm not

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>saying this is how the Chiefs will operate, But what

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I am saying is this, the Chief's ability to cost

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders the number one overall pick to prevent the

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Raiders from being able to fix their quarterback problem is

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>legitimately valuable. So it's less about the Chiefs improving their

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>draft status and more about the Chiefs being able to

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>screw the Raiders where the Raiders with a loss get

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the number one pick. And even if I just don't

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>think the Chiefs right now can beat anyone by a touchdown.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>They can't run the ball, they can't pass the ball,

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>they can't move the football, and they're on the road.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna have the juice of Arrowhead from last week.

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the Raiders plus five and a half.

0:14:55.040 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Next, Miami plus twelve at New England. Baby, it's just.

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of points. Mike McDaniel's trying to save his job.

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh And there's usually one Week eighteen, big favorite that

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>needs the game that all of a sudden it's tied

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter. It feels like it might be

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>this one. I know Mike McDaniel has all these awful

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>cold weather stats, but are those Mike McDaniel's stats or

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>are those TUA stats. I'm getting twelve points. I'll take

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Miami plus twelve and last We're gonna go out on

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>our shield on this one. Even though I'm so mad

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>at Aaron Rodgers.

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Next, Pittsburgh plus three and a half versus Baltimore.

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't really care who's playing quarterback for Baltimore in

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>this game, to be honest, a banged up Lamar or

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Huntley that we saw last week. I'm just like Pittsburgh

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>getting the points. This game is going someone's winning this

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>game by three. I don't know who I'm getting three

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and a half points, So I'll take Pittsburgh plus three

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and a half. We know all the Tomlin getting Tomlin

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>getting points at home divisional games. I mean, I don't

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>know if he's ever lost. So my five picks this

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>week are Tampa minus two and a half against Carolina,

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Seattle minus one against the Niners, the Raiders getting five

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half against Kansas City, Miami getting twelve in

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>New England, Pittsburgh getting three and a half at home

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>against Baltimore. You ever notice how everything keeps going up?

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.120

<v Speaker 1>as they remain active on the Boost Unlimited Plan. Demond's

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:16.360
<v Speaker 1>a another's week, another winner. I think you started off

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the year like one in four and since then you're

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>eight and three on teasers.

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Whatever it is, it's got started off nice and then

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of lost like three four games in a row.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Whatever it is. I think you've only lost one since

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Mila's been born. You've been red hot talk us through

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>last week's.

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Last week's was a three team eight point teaser a

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.400
<v Speaker 2>plus one hundred. We had Philly up to plus ten

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and a half, they won the game. We had Jacksonville

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 2>up to plus one and a half, they won the

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 2>they won the game, and then we had Chicago up

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 2>to plus eleven. They lost, but they still covered.

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>It and a game it today.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It was a great teaser, Thank you, sir. And this

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 2>week is a three team eight point teaser at you

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 2>guessed it, plus one hundred, Carolina's up till plus ten

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and a half, Pittsburgh go to plus eleven and a half,

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.120
<v Speaker 2>and then Buffalo basically a pick him at plus half point.

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, I'm feeling so.

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I love the first two legs. I'm wondering if there's

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a third leg I would like more.

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't the Bills need to win the game. It's

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the Jets or are they They're stuck in theirn No.

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 1>I know the Bills the Bills. Here's the thing, the

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Bills need to win assuming the Bills want to move

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>up from seven to six. Now, they can move up

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>from seven to five if Houston and the Chargers lose.

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But here's the scenario I'd be worried about. But again,

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>they're playing the Jets, so you probably chet is Houston

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 1>is rolling, and so they know they can't get up

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to the five. The Bills rather be the seven and

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>play New England or be the six and play Jacksonville.

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>That's the only that's the only question is do you

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>know would they rather? They certainly want to be the five,

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.439
<v Speaker 1>But if they know they can't be the five, do

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.199
<v Speaker 1>they pull Josh Allen and say we're fine being the

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 1>seven with a rubber match against New England.

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not the question is that the Jets are really bad,

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think even if the Bills were trying to

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.959
<v Speaker 2>give them the game, the Bills could still end up

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>winning it.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I think that's probably correct. All right,

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do a touchdown Genie this week.

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Demons, you were going, who are who AFC NFC Mike

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Evans touchdown? Yeah, Mike Evans.

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Plus one sixty five anytime touchdown.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he just needs like a five hundred yard

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 2>game to continue the one case.

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's all. It needs. Five hundred yard game.

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's gonna end. But I will do a Mike

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Evans anytime touchdown. I failed you guys on the offer

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 1>last week. I am not doing an offer this week,

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and we are Listen, we need to go at least

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 1>three and two, just clear at least so we can

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.400
<v Speaker 1>be five hundred or better. Five of the six years
