1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. What 2 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: is up straight Fire? Fam h's me Jason McIntire, Straight 3 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: Fire or Thursday, December seventh. It is actually one of 4 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: the best Thursdays in sports we've had in a long 5 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: long time. Why is that not because we have a 6 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: crappy Thursday night football games Steelers Patriots, Steelers favored by six. 7 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I might have a best bet at the 8 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: end of the episode, but it's not like big money 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: or anything. Come on the way, the way these college 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: basketball picks have been going, goodness, gracious, what a run. 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: I actually just stop betting NFL and just focus on 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: college hoops. Anyways. We also have the NBA play I'm 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: sorry not the in season semi finals this afternoon Pacers 14 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Bucks at two o'clock Pacific on espn SO five o'clock Regular, 15 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: and then Pelicans Lakers six o'clock on tnt SO. Essentially, 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: assuming you don't have like a holiday party Santa going 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: through your neighborhood, you've got an option of some pretty 18 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: good sports. Just having options is really nice, right. I 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: actually think the best best game obviously Zion versus Lebronan. 20 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: That's that's the best game. I think Lakers could be 21 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: in trouble, but that's just me. I guess before we 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 1: get to that, that the big breaking news that happened 23 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: last night was actually in the baseball world. We don't 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: do a ton of baseball on this podcast, but Juan Soto, 25 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: one of the better players in the National League, is 26 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: leaving the Padres. He was traded to the Yankees seven 27 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: player deal. Yankees' odds to win the World Series, I 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: don't know how they were fourteen hundred. I mean, the 29 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: Yankees were an eighty two and eighty team last year 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: that didn't even play like an eighty two win team. 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: I think their PITHAG was like seventy eight wins or something. 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Juan Soda to the Yankees and their odds go from 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: plus fourteen to win the World Series to plus eight 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: hundred feels a little bit of like a Yankees tax, 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: if you will. I mean, the lineup now has Soto. 36 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: Judge gian Carlos Stanton, I don't know if this is 37 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: just the beginning of the moves. He's Otani next. Every No, no, 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: that Tony's almost certainly not going to the Yankees. But 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: Sodo's an interesting character, so he's one of the best 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: young players in the league. And he's been on three 41 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: teams in like four years. Like, what's that about? Right? 42 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: He was in Washington, he was the MVP runner up. 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: Then he's traded because he's obviously not got to stick around. 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: They trade him to the Padres. And last year he 45 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: was sixth in MVP voting, and I guess the Padres decided, 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, they had some clubhouse issues, if you will. 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: I haven't read enough or asked the baseball people at 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Fox enough to know if he was at the center 49 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: of it or what I mean, why are you moving 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: off Sodo? I don't know what's going on there. Maybe 51 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: someone who who's a diehard Padres fan, I think those 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: still exist, could shed some light. But like Soto to 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the Yanks, obviously that's a big ad for them. I mean, 54 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of their lineup, it's gonna be sick. 55 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: Is the pitching gonna be there? We'll see, And obviously, 56 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: you know the Otani is the big name to watch. 57 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna get into the whole Dave Roberts, 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: the Dodgers manager. I don't know if you guys have 59 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: followed this, but essentially Otani said, we're gonna meet with teams, 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: and we don't want anybody go into the media with 61 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: anything or we'll hold it against you. We want this 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: to be private, quiet. We don't want a big to 63 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: do well. That's tough. When he's the biggest face. He's 64 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: like the face of baseball right now, you know, he's 65 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: the biggest name in baseball globally. Okay, And of course 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts either didn't get the memo or just said 67 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I don't care what Otani wants. But Dave Roberts comes 68 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: out and says, oh, yeah, we met with Otani. It 69 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: was a three hour meeting. It was great. We came in, 70 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: we talked about this that blah blah blah, and then 71 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: the Dodgers had to come out and publicly scold him 72 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: like we're sorry. It was just like that's kind of embarrassing, 73 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: Like just Dave Roberts not care. Now, cowhurt actually had 74 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: a decent theory as to that. Otani to the Dodgers 75 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: has been ticketed for months. Remember, the Dodgers kind of 76 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: cleaned up their books, got rid of some dudes, freed 77 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: up cap space, if you will, not that they really 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: needed to but they needed to shed some salary so 79 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: they could overpay Otani. And so for like, you know, 80 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: I think it's been like at least four or five 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: six months. The big rumor has been, oh, the Dodgers 82 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: are getting Otani, and Coward's theory was, well, maybe Roberts 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: did this to make it look like it wasn't a 84 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: sure thing. Everybody else thinks they have a chance, but 85 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Otani's still going there, you know. By 86 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: flaunting the rules, Oh, the Dodgers they're not gonna get 87 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: They're not gonna get Otani. Roberts screwed up, and it 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter because he's going there anyway. But this 89 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: kind of levels the playing field in the in the 90 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: general public, if that makes any sense at all. I 91 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: had not heard that theory, and that was maybe that's his, 92 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: and I thought it was. It was pretty good anyways, 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: moving on from baseball, I did want to, Uh, obviously 94 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: we don't need to talk anymore about Zack Wilson. I 95 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: know you can't stomach three days of this Zach Wilson garbage, 96 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: Like I can't deal with it. He's gonna start. Now 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting. Did you guys see what happened to 98 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: the line in the Texans Jets game. I mean it 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: was seven on like Sunday night, Monday morning, It's down 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to four at Betchris, three and a half at the 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: Super Book, three and a half, a lot of other places. 102 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: But Exac Wilson ain't worth three points now. The weather, 103 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: I think, is what is the great equalizer here. The 104 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: total has plummeted to thirty three. There's like five games 105 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: impacted massively by weather this week for the gamblers, let's 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: see it is. It looks like it's gonna be the 107 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Browns game. Go. You might as well take the under 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: on all these now, and then you know you could 109 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: hit him in game as well. But the Browns game 110 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: that total the Bears. These are the home teams Browns, Bears, Bengals, Jets, 111 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: and Ravens. All those games significantly impacted by rain, precipitation 112 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: and mostly win wind, of course, is the big win. 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: Anything over a fifteen mile an hour wins significantly hampers 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: the pass game, the kick game. And just because it 115 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: makes it like a big slog, I actually went and 116 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: took Bears on the money line last night. I told 117 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: you guys, I bet Bears. Earlier this week it was four, 118 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: was three and a half, then three, then back up 119 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: to three and a half. It's just a bad matchup outdoors, 120 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: cold weather, any precipitation. Jared Goff, we know the history 121 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: is not good. And if you guys remember he was 122 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: on the Rams and there was a Sunday night game. 123 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: I remember watching this cause one of our guests, Adam Chernoff, 124 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: who comes on, you know, once or twice a year, 125 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: he is the one who's been on this for a while. 126 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: But Jared Goff, back when he was with the Rams, 127 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: he just can't handle pressure up the middle, and he 128 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: cannot handle the precipitation, the cold weather. It's just bad 129 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: for him. You know, the quarterbacks they need the like, 130 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: you know, the big hands that they measure at the combine. 131 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: Apparently GoF has the small hands and if he, you know, 132 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: then he has to decide to I wear gloves in 133 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: the cold weather. And there was a game Rams Bears 134 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: and GoF was just an abomination. It was so horrific. 135 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: And I think it was the year the Rams went 136 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl with Golf might have been, or 137 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: maybe it was his final year, but either way, he 138 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: was so bad in that game, and now he has 139 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: to go back outdoors in Chicago. And I'm telling you, guys, 140 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: like the Bears, I know the record doesn't say they're good, 141 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: but this team's defense right now, I think, like the 142 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: last like four or five weeks has been tremendous. Like 143 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: they're I don't they're obviously not playing for the number 144 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: one pick because that's on Carolina. Like the Bears, ibra 145 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: Flus wants to keep his job. You know, if Justin 146 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: Fields had his brothers, he would stay in Chicago. You 147 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: think he wants to get cut or traded. So like 148 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: the Bears are only four and eight, but they've played 149 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: really well. And you can look at like the trend 150 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: lines November December, it's weird other than the Patriots this year. 151 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: And there was a moment where I thought the Giants 152 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: were tanking by playing DeVito. But you know, he hasn't 153 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: been as bad as he was before. I still think 154 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: he's not good. Football is back. No more preseason games. 155 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: The regular season is here.

It feels like the 170 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: only team playing not to win in tank without outwardly 171 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: tanking is the New England Patriots. You know, remember the 172 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: Belichick stuck with Mac Jones forever, stuck with him, stuck 173 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: with him, and then at that point it's like, listen, 174 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: this guy. We cannot legitimately trot him out and pretend 175 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: we're putting out of product. So we've got a bench 176 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: and we'll bring in ZAPPI. Well, Zapi couldn't get them 177 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: to the red zone once against the Chargers, and the 178 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: Chargers defense ain't great, so to me, the Patriots are 179 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: the one that are actively aggressively trying to get the 180 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: first or second pick. The Bears, I feel like my 181 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: guess will be that they'll probably play their way out 182 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: of that fifth pick. They're fifth right now. I think 183 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: they'll probably draft around tenth, but they will get Carolina's pick. Now, 184 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: Carolina is an interesting team. Remember we had him last 185 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: week in the contest, gave him out here getting points. 186 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at him again against the Saints. Now this one, 187 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: the Saints are banged up. We think it's gonna be 188 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston going in the Dome. Obviously, not a lot 189 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: to love about Carolina, but divisional matchup a banged up 190 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: Saints team. Olave obviously played really well. I had him 191 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: on my bench in fantasy, which hurt. I did not 192 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: think he would be going or effective. But there's just 193 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: not a lot to love about the Saints team right 194 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: now either side of the ball. And I think Carolina's 195 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, they're playing hard. They don't they got the 196 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: new interim coach and they're not keeping their picks, so 197 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: they want to win. You know, this guy's trying to 198 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: impress the staff. They showed well against Tampa in the rain, 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: and they covered the spread, which is most important to us. 200 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: So I think they're trying hard Arizona. You know, for 201 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: the longest time, everybody thought they were tanking. Man, this 202 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: team's really gonna screw it up. Well, I'm not gonna 203 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: go ahead and guarantee anything, but my guess would be 204 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray says, I don't want us to get a quarterback. 205 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: I got paid. I don't want to get traded to 206 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: who knows who the hell knows where, And I would 207 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: not be surprised if Arizona closed out kind of sort 208 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: of strong here. Again, I don't think they're a good team, Arizona. 209 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: Oh they're on the by this week. Yeah, but they 210 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: have three wins. I can see them finishing with four 211 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: or five. The team that I'm hoping, well, you guys 212 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: know this is the Jets. I would love for them 213 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: to finish top four, top three if possible. You know, 214 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't think Jayden Daniels is a Jet, but I 215 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: sure as I would love top three pick. Then it 216 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: gives you leverage, you can trade down. Jets have lost 217 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: five in a row, so have the Panthers. So have 218 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Washington is careening. There's a big article in 219 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: the Washington No, no, I'm sorry, it's on ESPN about the 220 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: new ownership in Washington and Josh Harris and what happened 221 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: this season. I'll just put this out there now. I'll 222 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: be pushing this narrative as we get closer to January. 223 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: I do believe Washington is a strong candidate to make 224 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: a splashy move in the draft. And if that means 225 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: going up and trying to get Caleb Williams, that might 226 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: be going up and trying to get Kelly Williams. You know, 227 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: you got a private equity guy in Harris. He was 228 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and they did the trust the process thing 229 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: and it was like we got to bottom out. We 230 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: gotta do whatever we gotta do to get top picks. 231 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: Like I mean, Caleb Williams is a DC guy. We 232 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: went to Knzaga High School in DC. Like, you don't 233 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: think that the local kid coming home would be a great, 234 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: great story for a Washington franchise that's been a train wreck. 235 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: A little over a decade ago, they made a big 236 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: splash one up and got RG three. It was that 237 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: was the most poppin' that the well then then Redskins 238 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: have been this century. Okay, one season it lasted. Then 239 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: RG three got hurt in that playoff game against Seattle. 240 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: But for a season he was just electric, the dual threat. 241 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: You know, the league is better when Washington's really good 242 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: because they're a big market. I grew up in the 243 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: DC area. I obviously did not like the then Washington Redskins. Everybody, 244 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: everybody just loved them, and like we would go I 245 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: would walk to school and like the crossing guards would 246 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: like hand out football cards and it would be like 247 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: Gary Clark and Art Monk and all this stuff, and 248 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: it was like a big Redskins town at the time. 249 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: And I just was like, you know what, everybody, everybody 250 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: in their mom's talking about this, and you know, longtime 251 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: listeners of the radio show in this podcast know that 252 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: anytime anyone's all in about something, I'm just the opposite way. 253 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: And I've see some of that in my son, which 254 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: you know is good but also not always great. And 255 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: so I was, oh, you know what, I'm from New York. 256 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Jets as my team. That's gonna be 257 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: my team. And I like the Bullets a little bit. 258 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: Washington Bullets at the time, oh gosh, they were horrific. 259 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: But again my team. I'm from New York. I like 260 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: the Knicks. Now, the Knicks were good at the time. 261 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: The Jets were in embarrassment. But so yeah, Washington being 262 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: good and going to the super Bowl and being a 263 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: dominant team, that's good for the league. Some of these 264 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: big market teams, it's not the worst thing in the world. 265 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: Now they have a new owner replacing Snyder, which is 266 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: obviously positive. So my guess is, and again this the 267 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: process hasn't even started for the draft. All these teams like, yeah, 268 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: they've been scouting these guys. Again, I don't I don't 269 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: want this to come off with some like super hot take. Yes, 270 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: Caleb william has been ticketed as the number one guy 271 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: for a while. My guess is he's not gonna go 272 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: number one, just having seen the season, knowing the history 273 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: of the draft in recent history, and knowing there's going 274 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: to be a lot of change at the top with 275 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: what may or may not happen, Chicago teams looking to 276 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: move up and make us splash play. My gut tells 277 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: me it's going to be Drake May's going to be 278 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: in the discussion. And don't be surprised if Jayden Daniels 279 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: starts to gain some traction as a potential number one pick. 280 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: Remember this stuff happened, don't scoff. This happens all the time. Okay, 281 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield kind of sort of came out of nowhere 282 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: to be the number one pick in the draft. Like, 283 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: these coaches think they can coach certain guys and they 284 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: want to outthink the room sometimes or they just see 285 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: something or get a vibe on someone that they want 286 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: that to be their dude. And you know, sometimes you 287 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: have to slam dunkin Trevor Lawrence. I don't think Caleb's 288 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: in that class. Like Caleb very very good. But now 289 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: we've seen, you know, two seasons of him with USC 290 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: and I just I wonder if some of these coaches 291 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: are going to say, you know, we're gonna have to 292 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: coach a lot of backyard stuff out of Kayleb Williams. 293 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: He's just like, I'm gonna make Whodini plays like we 294 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: saw that with Bryce Young and Alabama. He's making all 295 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: these magical plays in the pocket. Folks. That stuff does 296 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: not last. It's not sustainable. And if it doesn't work. Now. 297 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: Kaylee Williams obviously bigger than Bryce Young, wait isn't an issue, 298 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: and he's better all around prospect, but you don't want 299 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: your quarterback running around. There were some numbers floating around 300 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: about the Philadelphia Eagles, like what's wrong with the run game? 301 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: It's funny Eagles before a week ago, we're ten to one, 302 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: We're there rolling. Sure, they've needed some fourth quarter comebacks, 303 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: but they're the Philadelphia Eagles, best record in the league, 304 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl last year, We're going again. 305 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: They get smashed by San fran And now it's what's 306 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: wrong with the Philly run game? And someone broke out 307 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: that over the last two seasons their seven best EPA 308 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: run games were all last season, and it's like, well, 309 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: why aren't they running as much this season or running 310 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: as well? And you know it wasn't Miles Sanders, Folks, 311 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: trust me, DeAndre Swift has been good. And it looks 312 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: like what the problem is is Jalen Hurts is not 313 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: running as much well. Jalen Hurts signs a massive contract, 314 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: gets dinged up a little, and you've got to pick 315 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: and choose. Yeah, if it's overtime and the game's on 316 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: the line. Sure, Jalen Hurts is gonna run and score 317 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: and come out of the pocket and make the plays 318 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: and get get the game winner. But you can't have 319 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: him running for four quarters. That's not gonna hold up. 320 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: Including the bush push or the tush push or the 321 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: brotherly shove or whatever you want to call it, you 322 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: can't have him doing that repeatedly and running twelve, fifteen, 323 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: twenty times a game. You got to pick your spots. 324 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a long season marathon, not a sprint. 325 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: You don't need him running twelve times against Washington. You know, 326 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense. So the run game hasn't 327 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: totally been there, and you know, Philly is still good, 328 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: but they're not blowing people out like last year. Last 329 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: year it was like soften you up with the run 330 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: that we start hitting you over the top with Brown 331 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: and Smith and you got to respect that.

I've already told you, guys, I like 358 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: Dallas three three and a half. It's not like I 359 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: like San Fran last week, but I definitely like Dallas 360 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: as the side. I don't totally see another blot. I 361 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: can envision it, I can see it happening. I don't 362 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: think it feels to me more like a seven to 363 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: ten point game where Dallas gets the ball light Philly 364 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: can't get stops, they got the lead, and Theys salted away. 365 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: Maybe get another touchdown at the end for style points 366 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: and Dack's MVP candidacy. But yeah, Dallas is certainly a 367 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: side for me this weekend. At any rate, let's get 368 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: to the best bets. I figured we'd throw in NBA 369 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: because I am running kind of sort of hot on 370 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: college basketball. All the picks go on. Ig my buddy 371 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: over at Fox, we've been working on this system. I mean, listen, 372 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: this is not the Manhattan Project here. I don't need 373 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: to totally keep it a secret. I love sharing. I 374 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: want everybody to win. I hope you guys are cashing. Essentially, 375 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: he has the ability, well he not doesn't have the ability. 376 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: You can find this a lot of it's public information. 377 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: But you go out there, you see where the most 378 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: bets are, right, you see seventy eighty percent of the 379 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: bets one way on one side, and then you look 380 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: and see what the lines moved. And if the line's 381 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: not budgeting or it's going the other way, well we're good. 382 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: We're taking the other side. And now maybe this is 383 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: just a super incredibly hot streak. But let's see, it's 384 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: like sixteen three and sixteen four and one, and like 385 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: I would kill for that kind of streak in the 386 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: NFL kill. Now does it work in college? Maybe because 387 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: there's there's fewer bets and it doesn't take much to 388 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: move markets, whereas in the NFL, you know, the big 389 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: money can easily move markets. I don't know. It's interesting, 390 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: like why it's not as easy of a play in 391 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: any other sport. Now, maybe this works in NBA. I 392 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: haven't tried it. Obviously, there's a little more to it 393 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: than that, and you've got you got to know where 394 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: to look. But so far, it's running hot. So we're 395 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: gonna keep playing that on ig stories, I'll keep posting. 396 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: But in the NBA, I actually think and this is 397 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call an outright upset, but I will 398 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: I will consider Indiana on the money line as we 399 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: at closer. But I'm definitely taking the four and a half. 400 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 1: This is the number one offense in the league by 401 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: a mile, and Milwaukee don't play like defense. Now Indiana, 402 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: it's not like there's a great defense. This will be 403 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: an offensive showcase, obviously, and it's not like Indiana has 404 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: one guy to shut down Giannis or even really slow him. 405 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: But we've seen it done before where if you set 406 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: up the line, you know, at the foul line, and 407 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: you kind of can just keep Giannis out of the paint. 408 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: And can they do that with Obi top end Miles 409 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: Turner not a ton of size. But here's the thing. 410 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: If they're going to trade two for three with Halliburton, 411 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: healed Nemhard Matherin obviously, Bruce Brown, that addition coming over 412 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: from Denver was massive, Like they could score with anybody, 413 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: and I think four and a hav you got to 414 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: take the points with the Pacers in the early game. 415 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: I am a little concerned with the Lakers. I don't 416 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: I don't know why they're favored here. I'm obviously rooting Lakers, 417 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna bet this game. But if I 418 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: were betting, I would bet the Pelicans. I just I 419 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: think the Lakers were a phenomenal for the Suns. I 420 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: think two days after an exhausting game for Lebron and AD, 421 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: they got to go now in battle Zion Williamson and 422 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: the paint like they're not gonna have the edge in 423 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: the paint they had against Phoenix, and I worry, you know, 424 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: revenge spot for the franchise against AD. They would love 425 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: nothing more than to knock the Lakers down and the 426 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: Pels get The Pels haven't done anything in forever. And 427 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I like Zion, but obviously I'm rooting Lakers here. 428 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: I have to, you know, there's no way around it. 429 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: I just don't know if the Lakers will be able 430 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: to physically bounce back for their old guy at Lebron, 431 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: their big guy Ad. If Ruy Hachimo doesn't step up 432 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: with twenty or they're not getting contributions from from someone, 433 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: this is a game where they could really use Gabe Vincent. 434 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: They're going to need more than three scorers to beat 435 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: the Pels. I mean the Pells come in waves. I 436 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: think herb Jones will be a bit of a problem 437 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: for Lebron. Yes, I actually said that. Herb Jones one 438 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: of the really underrated defenders in this league. I think 439 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna give Lebron's a problem. So I'm excited for 440 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: the matchup. I think it'll be a great game, And frankly, 441 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm more excited for the NBA games than i am 442 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: Trubisky versus Bailey ZAPPI honestly like it's a tough sell 443 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: just to even watch this. If anybody watched the Steelers, 444 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: even against the Bengals, they were ugly, like it was hideous, 445 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: Like it's really difficult to watch bad football and bad quarterbacking. 446 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: That being said, it's the NFL. Now, I have bench 447 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: pickens in my fantasy league. My son and I are 448 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: in the playoffs in two we're trying to get in 449 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: a third. It's it's gonna be dicey five teams. That's 450 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: why you gotta head your bets. Unfortunately, the two big 451 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: money leagues looks like we're out stinks. But yeah, I've 452 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: bench pickens in fantasy because I'm like, what's he gonna 453 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: do with Trubisky at quarterback? This is just gonna be 454 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: run run. Run. The total here again under thirty. I 455 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: think you can also in game bet this. You know, 456 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: obviously a fluky special teams play a defensive touchdown. I 457 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: don't know zapi fumble, wat scoop and score that can 458 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: wreck havoc on the total. But I do think you know, 459 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: the more you get into the first quarter, if you 460 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: see no scoring. Listen, I took under twenty nine late 461 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: first quarter Chargers last week, Chargers Patriots, and that was 462 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: like ended six nothing like you could just see the 463 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: Patriots have no offense, Like if Douglas doesn't play, I 464 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: think Stevenson's out. Who's moving the football for them? What 465 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: are they doing outside of quarterback screw ups and defensive touchdowns? 466 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: I don't see how this tops thirty. Anyways, we have 467 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: a special guest tomorrow. He's been on the pod before. 468 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: You guys love him as much as any NFL guess 469 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: we have. He'll be back on tomorrow to preview NFL 470 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: Week fourteen. The season's rapidly coming to a close. I'll 471 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: talk to you then
