Speaker 1: From the King of Sports Books comes the key sports
Speaker 1: podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Joanna's
Speaker 1: Papas and Olivia Harland Decker. Welcome to Unleashed from bet MGM,
Speaker 1: the King of Sports Books. Wow, what a week of sports.
Speaker 1: The basis that's not our punchline, by the way, Wow,
Speaker 1: what a week of sports. That's me reacting to a
Speaker 1: crazy week of sports. Baseball season is coming down to
Speaker 1: the wire, Yanna, Alabama survives in the swamp against Florida.
Speaker 1: That was a crazy game and the Packers they strike back.
Speaker 1: And another absolute classic between the Chiefs and the Ravens
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football and coming up, we're going to
Speaker 1: talk all things NFL with former NFL quarterback and e
Speaker 1: pian analyst Dan Orlovsky. He is fantastic. We'll see if
Speaker 1: he thinks any team should be hit in that panic
Speaker 1: button after just two weeks. Thoughts on some of the
Speaker 1: matchups this weekend with great quarterbacks, some are former teammates
Speaker 1: of his, and thoughts on some young quarterbacks but you
Speaker 1: know you're honest. This week Dan went viral for a
Speaker 1: dog barking impersonation. We've got to ask him to do
Speaker 1: it for us. Do you think he'll do it? I
Speaker 1: think he will do it. I mean it got so big,
Speaker 1: it went around. I mean it was so accurate. I
Speaker 1: want to see if it was just a fluke or
Speaker 1: if he was using a filter, or if that was
Speaker 1: his real dog under the table, because that's how it sounds.
Speaker 1: So we'll ask him, and so you gotta, you gotta
Speaker 1: watch this, and you tell me if his lips line
Speaker 1: up with the sound it was him. Yeah, we need
Speaker 1: like an unleashed detective squad to really scour the tape.
Speaker 1: You know, I have kind of a hidden animal talent.
Speaker 1: Oh that doesn't sound good. Thank god we're on a
Speaker 1: sports podcast, because if someone just turned in there, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, okay, okay, hopefully it's it's only takes. You're
Speaker 1: not on all fours. Okay, my mom listens to this podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I mean, you know, okay, okay, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what it is before you make more inappropriate jokes.
Speaker 1: I can do a pretty good bird whistle, can you.
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're talents, you have some esoteric talents
Speaker 1: and you could kick field goals and you can make
Speaker 1: bird noises. Huh. I'll show you. My whole family were
Speaker 1: great whistlers. My grandpa r I p. He was an
Speaker 1: amazing whistler and we all kind of got it from him.
Speaker 1: But here's my bird whistle. Okay? That that was That
Speaker 1: was beautiful. I mean it could have been a bird
Speaker 1: or it could have been wind sneaking into a basement window,
Speaker 1: but it was not both. I mean that was nice.
Speaker 1: Does it work? Do you do? Do birds come over? No? No,
Speaker 1: but it always kind of make my dog look around,
Speaker 1: which I like, I need, I need to play this
Speaker 1: episode back and see if my dog reacts to dan
Speaker 1: Orlovski's barking. That was pretty good. That was good. I
Speaker 1: just kind of gave away how much of a city
Speaker 1: kid I am because I don't even know what a
Speaker 1: bird whistle does. I'm like, du to birds come over?
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do with that? I don't
Speaker 1: even know what a bird whistle is for. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you would do it. You just think of
Speaker 1: like gross pigeons in the city. Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: you don't want you don't want to call pigeons you
Speaker 1: want you don't want them closer, you want them farther away.
Speaker 1: So is there like a pigeon whistle that tells them
Speaker 1: to fly south and get out of there because their
Speaker 1: rats with wings, no armed pigeons, kind of like this,
Speaker 1: like that was horrible. I need more here. No no, okay,
Speaker 1: no no close enough, close enough, I need I need
Speaker 1: to set the water something that was horrible. Um, you know, Jhannest.
Speaker 1: Every week we're doing this bad beat of the week,
Speaker 1: so of someone who will be more embarrassed than I
Speaker 1: just was doing a pigeon impersonation. This is our winner
Speaker 1: this week. He gets a hundred bucks in credit at
Speaker 1: bet MGM. So that's pretty good, but not as good
Speaker 1: as this weekend could have been. Brad of the week.
Speaker 1: This is possible. He had a one game parlay for
Speaker 1: Vikings at Cardinals. Five of the six hit, which is
Speaker 1: really impressive. He could have won d bucks. All he
Speaker 1: needed was a lost fumble, which is frequent, that happens
Speaker 1: all the time. Get this, there were two fumbles, neither
Speaker 1: one was lost, so my man didn't get his bucks,
Speaker 1: but he did get a hundred dollars in credit at
Speaker 1: bet MGM. So just d m us hostile at bet
Speaker 1: MGM and you'll collect and I hope you can turn
Speaker 1: that into an even bigger bet this weekend, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna help you get set up for this weekend's NFL
Speaker 1: Action with Peter Andrew. That is the last segment of
Speaker 1: the show, as always, will go over all injury news,
Speaker 1: everything you need to know to place your bets for
Speaker 1: week three in the NFL. He's still one, even though
Speaker 1: he lost. It was almost right at the one yard line,
Speaker 1: just like your pigeon impression almost there. So Olivia, you know,
Speaker 1: I was stalking your Instagram stories as usual. Nice little montage.
Speaker 1: Yeah again, you made a nice little montage in Vegas,
Speaker 1: except there was one sparkling omission that I saw from Vegas.
Speaker 1: There was no Janice Papas in your compilation. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it. You know, a video I needed was us
Speaker 1: drinking Dak or He's going yes in Vegas, But that
Speaker 1: was on your phone. I should have asked you to
Speaker 1: send that to me. Yeah. I mean I watched that
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's almost like you were cutting
Speaker 1: me out. I was like, you know, you had Stephen
Speaker 1: Jackson right there, and you had them just a moment
Speaker 1: before I come to the door, and that's where you
Speaker 1: cut it. You were like you cut me out like
Speaker 1: an old like an ex best friend who you're fighting with,
Speaker 1: and you just edited me out of the picture. I
Speaker 1: promised that was not intentional. Now we just need another trip. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: and so you know, you're you live this exciting life
Speaker 1: and for bet MGM, they got you all over the
Speaker 1: place working you like a dog pun intending because that's yeah,
Speaker 1: they're working. You're like, and you you're over at Lambeau.
Speaker 1: You're over at Lambeu running around the cheese heads. What
Speaker 1: was it like? Did you see more far of jerseys
Speaker 1: Aaron Roger's jerseys? Were people drunk? Did anyone try to
Speaker 1: touch you? What's going on? We just we know over
Speaker 1: all of that last week, we are not messing around
Speaker 1: and people touching. You know. It's funny. I love going
Speaker 1: to games at Lambeau and walking through the parking lot
Speaker 1: and even we have the same four seats to every
Speaker 1: home game my family does, and I went with just
Speaker 1: my mom. You know, it's it's tough to get everyone
Speaker 1: in town for one game, so sometimes we're a little outnumbered,
Speaker 1: but usually we find friends in our section and people
Speaker 1: tell us it's their first trip to Lambeau all this
Speaker 1: and we turn instantly into tour guide mode and we're like, well, welcome,
Speaker 1: have you been to blah blah blah? Have you eaten abroad?
Speaker 1: Make sure you put sour crowd on it? Have you this?
Speaker 1: We've seen this after every first down. We've seen this
Speaker 1: after every touchdown. We like love to teach people how
Speaker 1: to Lambeau and we we did that a good bit.
Speaker 1: There's some Californians sitting behind us, so we had to
Speaker 1: tell him what was up. We had a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: great games. Started to rain a little bit, but it
Speaker 1: was an absolute last. Honest, you've got to come up
Speaker 1: for a game. I'll teach you how to Lambeau. Well,
Speaker 1: you have me up there. I mean, I'm not a Californian.
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, you do not like Californians. I read
Speaker 1: that in your void. Yeah, you could not have made
Speaker 1: that clearer. What were they talking about San Francisco or
Speaker 1: how there needs to be more taxes? What made you
Speaker 1: more upset? I'm not even touching that one. Touching that one? Really?
Speaker 1: There was another. It was a It was a huge
Speaker 1: win for the Packers, who had lost so horribly Week one,
Speaker 1: thirty eight three against the Saints, but another big win
Speaker 1: in the NFC North, which honestly I didn't see coming,
Speaker 1: even though they played a horrible team Chicago in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Chicago lost their starting QB Andy Dalton with a non
Speaker 1: contact injury. They're saying now it wasn't an a c
Speaker 1: L and it's not going to be long term and
Speaker 1: he will remain the starter. But everyone loves Justin Field,
Speaker 1: and Justin Field was not great, to be fair, when
Speaker 1: he took the field, but there's still such a high
Speaker 1: demand for the rookie quarterback out of Ohio State. Let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and listen to what Field said after the game,
Speaker 1: because this was really telling. You know, no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm I'm meant for this, and um, I'm
Speaker 1: meant to be here. I think, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: my path here has been crazy. When I was younger,
Speaker 1: I never thought I'd be in this position. So I'm
Speaker 1: here for a reason, and I definitely think that I
Speaker 1: can play better, and I just think that this is
Speaker 1: the beginning. So I'm definitely excited for the future and
Speaker 1: then excited to get back to practice. I'm under yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. The injury is not clear.
Speaker 1: Are we sure it's not his ego because people love
Speaker 1: justin Field so much. He could just have a herd
Speaker 1: ego and that takes about six days to recover from.
Speaker 1: So he'll be in starting QB this week. You know
Speaker 1: that wasn't even the only quarterback injury this past weekend.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more with that with Peter Andrew later in
Speaker 1: the show about how that affects betting lines week three.
Speaker 1: But now, y're honest, it's my favorite segment of our podcast.
Speaker 1: It is time when lead. I'm Leach. It's time to
Speaker 1: on Leach. Let me tell you something. I'll go first, Olivia,
Speaker 1: because I'm anxious to get this off my chest. As
Speaker 1: everybody knows, I don't have to repeat it. I'm a
Speaker 1: Giants fan, Okay, I support all the evil empires in
Speaker 1: New York Yankees Giants. There was a round of P
Speaker 1: P P payments that went out, disaster relief payments. I
Speaker 1: think the Giants need another round of that payment. They
Speaker 1: need to build back better. I mean, here's the deal
Speaker 1: with special teams. Here's the deal. We've been upset about
Speaker 1: the offensive line. The offensive line comes through, they build
Speaker 1: a wall. Jones is able to throw ropes. He looks
Speaker 1: great we're gonna win the game, and then on a
Speaker 1: special team's play. Look, the special teams are already wearing helmets.
Speaker 1: Do we need to put the helmets on the helmets
Speaker 1: of the special teams? I mean, how do you make
Speaker 1: that mistake a mistake on special teams to lose the game.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's almost as if we're being punished. I
Speaker 1: want to know if Jim Dolan is involved in the
Speaker 1: Giants organization right now. I want to have breakfast with
Speaker 1: the Mars and I want to know if Jim Dolan
Speaker 1: is making any of these decisions. Then we go and
Speaker 1: get the offensive coordinated from the Cowboys. Who sucks. I'm
Speaker 1: moving into lambeau Field. I've had enough. Can I move
Speaker 1: into your house? I'm going to Green Bay. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be in New York anymore. We will take
Speaker 1: you Jana's papas. We will take you gladly, and we'll
Speaker 1: teach you out to lambeau You can come over. I will.
Speaker 1: I'll go there. I'll have a heart attack from eating cheese.
Speaker 1: It's worth it. Do you feel better, my friend? I
Speaker 1: do feel better. I got that off my chest. Okay,
Speaker 1: now it's my time to unleash, and I was prepared.
Speaker 1: It's the Packers We're gonna lose Monday night. I was
Speaker 1: going to unleash on the Packers for two straight losses.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna do a positive unleash on Raven's quarterback
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson because he was incredible Sunday night against the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: They had no business when in that game, and dan
Speaker 1: Ulovski I can't wait to ask him more about it,
Speaker 1: but he has talked on ESPN about the mental resolve.
Speaker 1: He's only in year four. He's still so young, but
Speaker 1: he acts like a vet in those situations. They've been
Speaker 1: decimated on offense. They lost three running backs before Week one.
Speaker 1: They are just struggling with injuries. I love the third
Speaker 1: quarter jump past Marquis Brown that was already highlight real worthy.
Speaker 1: And then early in the fourth quarter he runs it
Speaker 1: in the end zone right corner to close the Chiefs
Speaker 1: lead to five. Then the last possession, same score, he
Speaker 1: basically runs the same play, but he cart wheels into
Speaker 1: the end zone. I've watched this over and over as
Speaker 1: a former cheerleader, I've debated was it a somersault, was
Speaker 1: that a cart wheel? Was it a one handed cart wheel.
Speaker 1: I think it's now an aerial, but we call an ariial.
Speaker 1: It's a no handed cart wheel and it was beautiful.
Speaker 1: So you know, his Fantasy football owners were not happy
Speaker 1: to see him landing on his hip. His GM probably
Speaker 1: also it was not too happy to see him land
Speaker 1: on his hip, but it was such style. It was
Speaker 1: like he was so carried away in the moment he
Speaker 1: was alone on an island, there was no one near him,
Speaker 1: and he just couldn't contain himself. He just went right
Speaker 1: for it. Again. We are now referring to this after
Speaker 1: further review as an aerial, a no handed cartwheel, which
Speaker 1: I just absolutely loved. It's almost like he's a man
Speaker 1: playing with boys, like he's the older cousin playing with
Speaker 1: younger cousins in the front yard on the holidays. Like
Speaker 1: he just makes it look so easy and he's just
Speaker 1: having so much fun. It's contagious. I don't know how
Speaker 1: anyone's not a Lamar Jackson fan. I just absolutely love him.
Speaker 1: But a couple takeaways from me from this game alone
Speaker 1: that gives me a good compass on what we can
Speaker 1: see and expect from Lamar Jackson. I love the John
Speaker 1: Harbaugh asking do you want to go for it? It
Speaker 1: shows that he has such a long leash, they have
Speaker 1: such trust. After the game, Lamar was picking up Harbaugh.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful and we don't see that all around
Speaker 1: the NFL. Just look at Giants Daniel Jones, very conservative
Speaker 1: play calling, no creativity at the line of scrimmage. They
Speaker 1: don't trust him to do stuff like that. They don't
Speaker 1: ask him his opinion. As far as we know. In
Speaker 1: all offseason, we hear about how great Daniel is, how
Speaker 1: great Daniel is, but you can tell they don't trust
Speaker 1: him as much with the play calling. So I think
Speaker 1: it shows that Lamar Jackson is light years ahead of
Speaker 1: someone like a Daniel Jones. And another thing, Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: was oh and three against Mahomes and the Chiefs, former
Speaker 1: m vps going against each other, and I started to
Speaker 1: look back at other m v P quarterbacks records against
Speaker 1: each other. Dayton Manning was oh and four against Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is now oh in six against TB twelve.
Speaker 1: They played this past weekend. So when you look at that,
Speaker 1: it's so impressive that now Lamar's got that win. You
Speaker 1: can tell he even said the monkey off my back.
Speaker 1: It was hanging over his head despite all week and
Speaker 1: saying that wasn't what it was about. It's totally what
Speaker 1: that was about. And it was a great win. Really
Speaker 1: fun to watch him. The Ravens are once again an
Speaker 1: a f C North Division favorite at plus one twenty. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love how you had to rub it in a
Speaker 1: little bit too and use the Giants as an example.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, thank you very much. The reason is because
Speaker 1: there is a cowboy spy in our organization that needs
Speaker 1: to be rooted out, and this is being done on purpose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has the wheels. Let him run. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: going to know your opinion on that, my friend. You
Speaker 1: should ask Dan Orlosky. He's coming up in a bit.
Speaker 1: He knows everything about quarterbacks. Let's see what he has
Speaker 1: to say. Now we bring in Dan Orlovsky, a twelve
Speaker 1: year NFL that you see him on ESPN as an
Speaker 1: analyst for college football and NFL, but you probably saw
Speaker 1: him on social media this week. He went viral for
Speaker 1: an amazing and kind of creepy dog barking impersonation. Dan.
Speaker 1: First of all, we gotta start, can we hear it? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you started this. In this capacity, I
Speaker 1: often get asked, how did you figure you had this
Speaker 1: quote unquote talent out? I have no idea, but this
Speaker 1: is it. I we do have two dogs, but this
Speaker 1: is it. It goes well. It's great to do because
Speaker 1: especially like outside when you're on a walk or with
Speaker 1: your family around other dogs, because it doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: it's from close, so dogs are often like what is
Speaker 1: going on right now? So yeah, I have no idea
Speaker 1: how I can do it. Have you ever like when
Speaker 1: you're when the song who Let the Dogs Out? Was popular?
Speaker 1: Did you ever hit that and people really thought dogs
Speaker 1: were in the room? Oh? No, doubt absolutely. And I'm
Speaker 1: telling you it is fascinating because I love people watching.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating to like just subtly throw it into a
Speaker 1: group again in public and just watch people be like what, what, where, where?
Speaker 1: And what is going on? At first, I didn't believe
Speaker 1: it when I first saw it, because Mina first posted it,
Speaker 1: and I didn't believe it. But now, I mean, we
Speaker 1: just saw you do it, and we didn't even give
Speaker 1: your heads up, So I'm a believer. Now I'm a
Speaker 1: little freaked out, but I'm a believer. That's awesome. Did
Speaker 1: you ever call any players where that we're um, that
Speaker 1: wasn't that good? Actually years Yeah, I never called any
Speaker 1: place like that, probably because I was trying to remember
Speaker 1: him with twenty seven words in the play call. But
Speaker 1: I never brought it onto the football field. I was
Speaker 1: just trying to survive. I was just trying to survive
Speaker 1: when I was out there. Do you do any impressions
Speaker 1: of former teammates or coaches? Are you just good at
Speaker 1: impressions in general or is that kind of No, I'm
Speaker 1: not great at impressions. My wife makes fun of me
Speaker 1: because I often try to do like British impressions accident
Speaker 1: wise and then Australian and she made you sound the same.
Speaker 1: I like have one liners from X teammates, but nothing
Speaker 1: like actual impression. I often say that Calvin Johnson was
Speaker 1: Steve Rkel from you guys remember the show Family Matters,
Speaker 1: like Calvin and the biggest dort, So we would kind
Speaker 1: of mock him in that aspect. Payton, I can do
Speaker 1: that decent, Peyton, Let's hear that, but yeah, nothing too significant,
Speaker 1: Let's hear Peyton. So Payton would come into meetings and
Speaker 1: we'd be sitting there watching the meetings and are watching
Speaker 1: take and he'd be in the meeting. He'd be like, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: Coco co co co coach and you'd be like, why
Speaker 1: is he talking like that? He Cloudy Claude, Hit Cloud
Speaker 1: and Clyde Christenson who's now with the Bucks. He'd sit
Speaker 1: there and like what Peyton, He'd be like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: so if if we get this type of front and
Speaker 1: uh in the linebacker business, if he scrapes over the top, Cloud,
Speaker 1: like over the top and then and then then the
Speaker 1: safety drops down. You see the safety drops down? What
Speaker 1: do you want me to do? And Peyton would often
Speaker 1: ask questions that he knew the coaches didn't know, answers
Speaker 1: to my God strictly to kind of make sure like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm in controling. The coach would kind of take Clyde
Speaker 1: and take like five ten seconds to figure out and
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, Cloud, you don't know the answer because
Speaker 1: I'm the only one who knows that, you know, with
Speaker 1: that kind of southern point. Now, I gotta say, I
Speaker 1: think your dog marking imprist Nation is a little bit
Speaker 1: better than your Peyton. Yeah, I think it was a
Speaker 1: little closer. Yeah, Dandiel's high though. With that, you know,
Speaker 1: the bar is said high with the dog standard is
Speaker 1: really high. Yeah, Eli is easy. You just gotta kind
Speaker 1: of contort your face and not say much and then
Speaker 1: you do want an Eli, and I just kind of yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of Eli Payton's brother, how much of a favorite
Speaker 1: do you think the Giants are to win it all?
Speaker 1: I can't say they're a significant favorite. I actually like
Speaker 1: the Giants at least a lot of their football team candidly.
Speaker 1: I think their defense and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham are
Speaker 1: really creative, you know. They I often say that one
Speaker 1: of the best things that you can do to a
Speaker 1: quarterback is constantly changing the picture on them and try
Speaker 1: to confuse them and get guys to play slow. And
Speaker 1: they expect things to be where they are and they're
Speaker 1: not there, so to speak. So you know, I love
Speaker 1: their defense. I get really concerned about their offense. I
Speaker 1: think their offense schematically is stuck in two thousand five.
Speaker 1: It's super archaic and antiquated. They're not doing the things
Speaker 1: that you watch good offenses in the NFL. The things
Speaker 1: that they do, either personnel or formation or scheme wise,
Speaker 1: they don't do any of it, and to me, that's alarming.
Speaker 1: And you're so dependent on the talent to go perform
Speaker 1: and execute that that's just not what coaching should do.
Speaker 1: It should enhance a talent advantage or minimize a talent deficit,
Speaker 1: and the Giants don't do any of that, and I
Speaker 1: think they just tax their players too much with performance.
Speaker 1: You know, Dan going to the other New York team,
Speaker 1: the Jets, there's not much to talk about there. But
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. There was so much talk preseason, even comparing
Speaker 1: him to Aaron Rodgers, Aaron singing his praises as well.
Speaker 1: We saw FEI interceptions this past weekend. Do you see
Speaker 1: that as a structural issue or do you still think
Speaker 1: there's a very high ceiling for Zack Wilson. Totally high ceiling.
Speaker 1: The best way I kind of categorized this past weekend
Speaker 1: against New England is just because you can doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you should. And a lot of young quarterbacks have to
Speaker 1: go through that, especially special ones that are incredibly talented.
Speaker 1: You get in those moments you're not gonna make that throw?
Speaker 1: What should you make that throw? You know it's this
Speaker 1: isn't Pro day and it's second and you don't just
Speaker 1: because you can fit that ball over a drop down
Speaker 1: corner and overlapping safety one time, the other ninete is
Speaker 1: going to be a pick. And so I think you
Speaker 1: just have to kind of go through those and then,
Speaker 1: you know, be really difficult on yourself when it comes
Speaker 1: to looking at it and being why did I, you know,
Speaker 1: why did I do this? What was my thought process?
Speaker 1: Can I still stay aggressive and be special without being
Speaker 1: careless in moments? And it's a good thing only if
Speaker 1: he learns from it, only if he's willing to be
Speaker 1: critical about it. But also, you don't never want to
Speaker 1: lose your stinger. You know, when Sam Donald had that
Speaker 1: crazy four or five interception a game against the Patriots
Speaker 1: a couple years ago, that was because he got confused
Speaker 1: a lot. That was not the case for Zach. Zach
Speaker 1: was just, uh, you know, I'm crazy talented and I
Speaker 1: can make these throws. And I was with Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: when we were both a little bit younger, and I
Speaker 1: used to watch tape with Matthew and he would make
Speaker 1: some throws and try some throws, and I'd be sitting
Speaker 1: there and I'd be like, dude, why are you throwing
Speaker 1: this ball? And because I can, you know, And he's like,
Speaker 1: you guess what you can't. And he wasn't saying it
Speaker 1: to be a jerk, but guys that are crazy talented
Speaker 1: like that, I think that way. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: I want to make that throw because I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm the only guy who can, and it's you just
Speaker 1: got to kind of go on this journey of learning
Speaker 1: do and don't. There's that old adage that the game
Speaker 1: slows down as you get more experienced. What's it like
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback in your first NFL start? Is
Speaker 1: the reason you're making those throws because you made those
Speaker 1: throws in college and you got away with it, and
Speaker 1: then you get into the pros and you realize, oh boy,
Speaker 1: these corners look a lot like receivers. Yeah. Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: kind of said that Week one with Zach. You know,
Speaker 1: the windows in the NFL and college are probably pretty similar.
Speaker 1: They just close a lot faster or they shrink a
Speaker 1: lot quicker. In the NFL, speed and size is a
Speaker 1: big deal. I often say playing quarterback is like, you know,
Speaker 1: when you get into a busy road or intersection and
Speaker 1: you've got to take a left hand turn and there's
Speaker 1: oncoming traffic and it's flying in your There's just not
Speaker 1: a big window for you to do it, and so
Speaker 1: often you're hesitant and because the oh my goodness, if
Speaker 1: I make the wrong timing of this turns bad things happen.
Speaker 1: That's every play for a quarterback, so to speak. You know,
Speaker 1: you just the pressure to be precise is so intent
Speaker 1: and the more comfortable you get at that timing and
Speaker 1: that again to your points seeing it slowed down, the
Speaker 1: easier things get. It just takes a lot of time.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Matthew Stafford. He's got a big game this
Speaker 1: weekend against Brady that could be an NFC Championship preview. Really,
Speaker 1: if we're looking at it, what do you like here? Um?
Speaker 1: Does it come down both quarterbacks? Yeah? I mean it
Speaker 1: often doesn't in kind of the treetop version. I often
Speaker 1: I try to do my job a little bit differently
Speaker 1: and kind of look at the big picture of it.
Speaker 1: I think when the Rams are on offense, you know,
Speaker 1: the Bucks defense right now is two big flaws for
Speaker 1: me that I did not see. They give up easy
Speaker 1: completions right now, you know. So if Matthew goes in
Speaker 1: with the mindset of being completion driven, specifically on early downs.
Speaker 1: There's so much yard effort catch against the Bucks right
Speaker 1: now because they're playing such soft coverage and they're not
Speaker 1: kind of sticky on receivers. Sean and Matthew will do
Speaker 1: a good job at that, Sean McVeigh, and then they're
Speaker 1: not getting any type of pressure around the quarterback. I'm
Speaker 1: not even talking sacks. I'm talking quarterbacks feeling pressure, you know.
Speaker 1: I think the big thing that's shown up in the
Speaker 1: two weeks for the Rams offenses the different stratosphere. Their
Speaker 1: play action pass both in the pocket and out of pocket.
Speaker 1: Game can go with Matthew, so you can get after
Speaker 1: a secondary that's beat up a little bit in Tampa
Speaker 1: right now, but also get completions. And I think when
Speaker 1: you look at the Bucks offense versus the Rams, and
Speaker 1: this is an overwhelming theme in the NFL this year
Speaker 1: and I've kind of been on it for about a
Speaker 1: month now. Teams are adamant or defense that they are
Speaker 1: gonna be adamant not to give up big plays. We
Speaker 1: are going to see so much more too high safety.
Speaker 1: If you think of an umbrella like an umbrella type
Speaker 1: of defense, you know, committing to stopping big pass plays
Speaker 1: in zone coverage and forcing teams to run the football
Speaker 1: and be patient at quarterback and play boring checkdown ball.
Speaker 1: You know, I really believe that Tampa Bay, you know,
Speaker 1: probably has to run the ball good amount against the
Speaker 1: Rams and and try to you know, They're receiver's gotta
Speaker 1: be really good at blocking. They're not gonna give up
Speaker 1: a ton of those man coverage big plays that the
Speaker 1: Bucks offense kind of wants. So Brady's completely ready to
Speaker 1: play disciplined Bolli did Ado his whole career, so in
Speaker 1: that regard, the Bucks offense should be really efficient. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the offensive line and
Speaker 1: their relationship with the quarterback because it's so important and
Speaker 1: I think for me as a Giants fan, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a topic that always comes up the Giants old line.
Speaker 1: What's the relationship behind the scenes, like with a quarterback
Speaker 1: and the offensive line? And do you think the offensive
Speaker 1: line should get paid as a committee and maybe incentive
Speaker 1: every week? And they should should they bunk together? Should
Speaker 1: they sleep at the quarter backs house? I mean, should
Speaker 1: they take maybe c I A and Secret Service training
Speaker 1: on how to how to protect him? Well, any good
Speaker 1: quarterbacks should be taking care of their offensive lineman, right,
Speaker 1: like any they should. I've been around some quarterbacks who
Speaker 1: got their offensive line some sick Christmas gifts. I'm talking
Speaker 1: impressive stuff that had many of dollars attached it, Like
Speaker 1: what's the best. The best one that I've probably ever
Speaker 1: been around was I believe it was matt shob got
Speaker 1: all of his offensive lineman two round trip first class
Speaker 1: air ticket on any airline they wanted to anywhere. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so like that, that's yeah, that's a relatively big deal.
Speaker 1: So that was a good one. Do you guys know
Speaker 1: when you used to walk into a bar years ago,
Speaker 1: like the screen that you would be able to play
Speaker 1: all those games on all our offensive lineman one of those,
Speaker 1: and that was cool just because all those guys had
Speaker 1: kids and families and so that was dope. He got
Speaker 1: dudes a bunch of really cool quads when you're Matthew
Speaker 1: got guys the extra large big green eggs the grille
Speaker 1: years ago when they just came out. So there's been
Speaker 1: some really cool gifts. Any good quarterback does that now?
Speaker 1: Joanna's are you taking notes? I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: what you're getting me for Christmas? Yeah, I'm getting you yeah,
Speaker 1: because you make me look really good on the show
Speaker 1: because you're so good at this, So I'm getting you
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. Let me ask you a question
Speaker 1: to piggyback on that. Do you think a guy like
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has an advantage because he's got so many
Speaker 1: bags that he could just buy his offensive line so
Speaker 1: many cars, and then rookie guys, it's like, hey man,
Speaker 1: you gotta get a big contract before I protect you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, Brady's got a lot of problems in his paycheck, right,
Speaker 1: so like there's an unlimited funds that he can go to.
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's taking care of those guys. And also,
Speaker 1: I mean, think of the things that Tom can give
Speaker 1: his guys that aren't material value, like hey man, you
Speaker 1: want to you want to come to you know this
Speaker 1: type of event or whatnot. The the stuff that he
Speaker 1: can bring him to. But I was fortunately some good
Speaker 1: guys got some good gifts. But I think the quarterback
Speaker 1: offensive line relationship is like the coolest one my focus.
Speaker 1: And I was lucky around big around guys. Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: was one, Peyton was one. Those guys always just wanted
Speaker 1: their offensive lineman to think that they were never above them,
Speaker 1: you know, like the really good quarterbacks want to make
Speaker 1: sure that their offensive line doesn't view them as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: They just want them to you know, you you really
Speaker 1: want those guys to know, like, I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: better than you. I only exist because of you, so
Speaker 1: to speak. I like that, you know. Earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: I went unleashed on how great Lamar Jackson was Sunday night.
Speaker 1: You said he was the best player on the field.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of good players on that field,
Speaker 1: most we're wearing a Chief jersey. But what do you
Speaker 1: mean by that? And why was he so much better
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night? I don't even think it was close
Speaker 1: that he was the best player on the field. What
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? Is So, when you get
Speaker 1: to the point of choosing, as an organization, should we
Speaker 1: pay this quarterback? I think one of the first questions
Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself is when we do and
Speaker 1: our funds are limited for everybody else, can we still
Speaker 1: win because of him? And that last Sunday Night game
Speaker 1: was a perfect example of that. You know, there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of guys and I I tier quarterbacks with
Speaker 1: you win because of you win with you win in
Speaker 1: spite of, or you lose because of I felt this
Speaker 1: way about Lamar for a while, but that was one
Speaker 1: of those vintage you won because of me games, you know.
Speaker 1: And there's just not a lot of guys on planet
Speaker 1: Earth that are in that kind of grouping. You can
Speaker 1: win a lot of games with a lot of quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and those guys should get a lot of money because
Speaker 1: it's hard to do. Yeah, there ain't a lot of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks you win games because of They had no business
Speaker 1: winning that game, they really didn't. It was an incredible
Speaker 1: performance by him, and I loved his mental resolve because
Speaker 1: the first quarter was bad and he just hung in
Speaker 1: there and got the game to the fourth quarter. I
Speaker 1: also saw you tweeted that your kids asked you if
Speaker 1: you were as fast as Kyler Murray. So my question is,
Speaker 1: how did you lie to them? Yeah? So I was
Speaker 1: sitting there actually watching take this morning and my kids,
Speaker 1: my one of my kids favorite things to do is
Speaker 1: watch Top ten, you know, And so Kyler's spin around
Speaker 1: run to the left, find ron Dale Moore was out
Speaker 1: there and they're really getting into watching football and saying
Speaker 1: and so they turned around, they're asked me like that
Speaker 1: is that what looked like you look like when you
Speaker 1: would play? And I was just like, yeah, I would
Speaker 1: do those same type of things, guys. And then I've
Speaker 1: got one son who's a lot like me, who you know,
Speaker 1: is personality wise just kind of a wise you know
Speaker 1: what like I am. And he's looked at me, He's
Speaker 1: like dead, no way, And I was like, I was like,
Speaker 1: there's no way that I ever ran remotely close to
Speaker 1: I ran a six two for as a sophomore in
Speaker 1: high school, so like I was as slow as a
Speaker 1: human he did. But you might have been the fastest
Speaker 1: kid in Connecticut though, right, not saying much and no,
Speaker 1: that is no, but even then and not saying much, Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely at your prep school, though, definitely the fastest kid
Speaker 1: and maybe the history of your prep school. How didn't
Speaker 1: go to prep school. I was a public schooler. I
Speaker 1: was a normal public schooler. Don't offend him me on it.
Speaker 1: Are you still in Connecticut now? Yeah? We moved to
Speaker 1: Connecticut about two years ago. We had right kind of
Speaker 1: near the end of my career. We moved to Philing.
Speaker 1: My wife is from there. I love Philadelphia, probably why
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit emotionally attached to Carson Wentz and
Speaker 1: then um with the ESPN and whatnot. We moved up
Speaker 1: to Westport, Connecticut about two years ago. I love Westburt.
Speaker 1: You're a Connecticut kid who loves Connecticut more you were
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart. You're Martha. Should get together and do like
Speaker 1: a social episode or show the social video sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Hey, this week we saw that Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski claims he doesn't watch game film. Do you believe that?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Rock played for probably the most detail oriented
Speaker 1: sports organization ever with one of the most detailed coaches ever.
Speaker 1: So I think Rob studies tape like you know, these
Speaker 1: intricate quarterbacks or defensive players know. But Rob definitely watches
Speaker 1: tape and knows how he's going to be matched up against.
Speaker 1: Maybe not as much nowadays that he used to. But
Speaker 1: I don't believe that for a second though. Do you
Speaker 1: think arians would be that lax, because there's no way
Speaker 1: he got away with that in New England. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: will say this. The NFL is often like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things that go into you know, respect and
Speaker 1: how you work and all that stuff. How you go
Speaker 1: play on Sundays is the biggest deal in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and so I will say, like, if you go and perform,
Speaker 1: you go and perform, and a lot of coaches won't
Speaker 1: mess with whatever you're doing as long as you're going
Speaker 1: to do your job. I don't think Tom would have
Speaker 1: allowed it, that's my thing. But I don't think Mom
Speaker 1: would have. You know, It's just Tom doesn't come as
Speaker 1: you know, I would imagine in his circle, specifically in
Speaker 1: the football circle, it was guys who did everything they
Speaker 1: could to play well. And so I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think Tom would have had any part of that. Dan.
Speaker 1: We came up with a pretty fun game for you
Speaker 1: this week. It is called Name that Dan, and we're
Speaker 1: going to read you a description of a Dan in
Speaker 1: the NFL and see if you can name who it is.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of dance in the NFL. Did
Speaker 1: you know that? Okay? I know now, so I should
Speaker 1: be good at this. Okay, the first one. This Dan
Speaker 1: retired as one of the all time great NFL quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: but is also remembered for his role in a spent
Speaker 1: Shura Pet Detective and Marino. You got it? That was
Speaker 1: too easy? Okay, he was a good movie. This is
Speaker 1: I love this Dan. Coming up. This Dan played his
Speaker 1: entire career for the same team. Became the first player
Speaker 1: in league history to throw for four thousand yards in
Speaker 1: three consecutive seasons. That Dan um the same team his
Speaker 1: whole career. So, Dan, this is a tough one. I
Speaker 1: don't know who is it. I'll give you a hint
Speaker 1: on the team. I thought it was Dan Ackroyd. Give
Speaker 1: me the team Chargers. You'll get it. Oh, Dan fous Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got it all right? How about this one? This
Speaker 1: Dan was a former teammate of yours and isn't afraid
Speaker 1: to bite an opponent's kneecap and Campbell got it quick.
Speaker 1: This Dan taste the best the best. This Dan, six
Speaker 1: time Crow Bowl offensive tackle, was not only born in Canton, Ohio,
Speaker 1: he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: He also spent twelve seasons on Monday Night Football. That's
Speaker 1: a tough one. I might say his name incorrectly, Is
Speaker 1: it Dan Dear? Yeah? I mean he said it correct
Speaker 1: home good. You could have pronounced it so on the
Speaker 1: other way with John and y'all. Alright, This Dan was
Speaker 1: drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round of
Speaker 1: the one draft, and is the brother to one of
Speaker 1: the most prolific home run hitters of all time, Dan McGuire. Yeah, great,
Speaker 1: great winstrol. Oh, that's really good. That's really good. Well,
Speaker 1: Dan Lawski, thank you so much for your time. It
Speaker 1: was so much fun picking your brain. It was a
Speaker 1: good time. I appreciate you guys, a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: We'll see you on the TV. And oh god, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have my in laws watching my dog right now.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's right here in the room. That's creepy.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dan, have a great week. Thank you dead
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. Do well. Ye, well, wow, that was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun with Dan or Lasky. I'm going to
Speaker 1: be working on my bird whistle because it is nowhere
Speaker 1: near his dog bark. Oh my gosh. Yeah. But his
Speaker 1: his manning is no good. And you let him know
Speaker 1: you shoot straight, girl, you got to hey, speaking of
Speaker 1: shooting straight, we're gonna talk Ryder Cup in a minute
Speaker 1: as we bring in bet MGM betting Expert, the Prince
Speaker 1: of Parlay's, the Sultan of Spreads are good friend, Peter Andrew.
Speaker 1: Welcome in, Peter, thanks for having me, and I just
Speaker 1: want to let everyone know I did not come up
Speaker 1: with those nicknames. I think that was all obviously I did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like him and I love a good alliteration. Sultan
Speaker 1: of Spreads, Prince of Parlay's, that's you, my friend. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's talk about NFL last weekend. And speaking of Parlay's,
Speaker 1: there was a big six teen team parlay that just
Speaker 1: hit tell us about it. Yeah, So this was a
Speaker 1: crazy couple of two games for us on our on
Speaker 1: promotional side and with a parlay as you mentioned, So
Speaker 1: we had a player going in he was fifteen out
Speaker 1: of sixteen in his parlays. He had a twenty five
Speaker 1: dollar bet to win seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: or close to it. He had all fifteen correctly money
Speaker 1: lines across the board, and then he needed the the
Speaker 1: old Detroit Lions plus four hundreds to win on on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Lucky for him. Unfortunately they didn't win, but
Speaker 1: we did offer him a settlement, so we we cashed
Speaker 1: out for a little less, so we actually still came
Speaker 1: home with about a hundred thirty thousand pretexts. So I
Speaker 1: think he comes out happy after all. Bet. I'd take
Speaker 1: that any day of the week. And then on Sunday,
Speaker 1: We actually have our brand new free to play game
Speaker 1: called King of the Weekend. We give you five games
Speaker 1: and if you get the six top scoring teams in
Speaker 1: the correct order, you win fifty thousand dollars or if
Speaker 1: there's multiple people of a share of fifty thousand. We
Speaker 1: actually had a player for the first time ever win
Speaker 1: that fifty grand right before the game's kicked off. He
Speaker 1: had changed his order and had changed and swapped around
Speaker 1: the way the Ravens and Chiefs were in his top
Speaker 1: six took home prize. So a big upsteam of customer
Speaker 1: out of New Jersey. Crazy way to end his Sunday,
Speaker 1: and then obviously Monday's game, crazy way to end for
Speaker 1: that customer with that sixteen team Parley Christmas comes early freeze.
Speaker 1: Guys say, look, sometimes when you don't get it, you
Speaker 1: still get it, just once. You think one of us
Speaker 1: would hit one of these, but not not not the
Speaker 1: Prince of Parlay's. Well, with the way I've been picking
Speaker 1: against Olivia, I think I need to start up in
Speaker 1: my betting game a little bit. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm really upset about this because now we're going into
Speaker 1: week three and this is my second time losing and
Speaker 1: I am watching these games differently now, Jannest because I
Speaker 1: just cringe what you're gonna make me say at the
Speaker 1: end of every show. For those of you who don't know,
Speaker 1: it's a punishment picks. It is so much fun. Peter
Speaker 1: picks three games, we break them down, and then we
Speaker 1: each take a pick. In the last two weeks, we've
Speaker 1: agreed on two of the three and we have to
Speaker 1: disagree on the third. And that's where I really got
Speaker 1: screwed last week because it was the Seahawks Titans. I jumped.
Speaker 1: Remember I even cut you off. I said, I take
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Yeah, well that just sucks. I'm so mad.
Speaker 1: So yeah, end of the show, I'm gonna read whatever
Speaker 1: you've typed out. Yeah, well, you know, isn't that the
Speaker 1: fun part? Though I always look forward to it. Well,
Speaker 1: it's fun for someone. Hey, before we get into those matchups,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be really fun. And Peter, you've picked
Speaker 1: some good ones for us. Let's get into Ryder Cup.
Speaker 1: I actually had the chance yesterday to meet with golf
Speaker 1: dot Com. Go check out Whistling Straits that begins on
Speaker 1: Friday opening ceremony Thursday when this drops and I've got
Speaker 1: a lot of insider info, guys, and Peter, I want
Speaker 1: to hear from a betting angle what you think of
Speaker 1: all this. Yeah, so I have my call with Sheboygan
Speaker 1: Residents Sam Decker after this. So I need to find out.
Speaker 1: I need to find out a bit about course conditions,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to. What you've reached out to the
Speaker 1: wrong Decker. You know he's not here. I'm here, He's
Speaker 1: in Toronto. It's fair enough, fair enough, we um it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really interesting couple of days. So
Speaker 1: obviously starts Friday, so a get different than normal match play.
Speaker 1: I think this is where the Europeans really have an advantage,
Speaker 1: especially of course like whistling Straits very lengthsy I think
Speaker 1: conditions are a huge factor. I really like the European
Speaker 1: team as an American. Obviously pains me to say it,
Speaker 1: but Europe plus two ten to win it all on
Speaker 1: on the three way line, they just always come out.
Speaker 1: Guys like Ian Poulter, those you know, they may not
Speaker 1: be the top ten finishers at all times, but they
Speaker 1: just know how to play in those conditions, really accurate
Speaker 1: with the iron play, knowingland to put the driver in
Speaker 1: the bag. You gotta go. You got a ton of
Speaker 1: guys like you know, Brooks and and Bryson that are
Speaker 1: big balls. But you know, if famous a fairway, you're
Speaker 1: in a lot of trouble. The next thing you know,
Speaker 1: you're one down and two down and three down, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're conceiving the match. So
Speaker 1: Europe is probably my pick to take it all come Sunday.
Speaker 1: You know, I never know when to put the driver away.
Speaker 1: In fact, I t it up basically and tell him
Speaker 1: on the green. So I t it up and I
Speaker 1: wow it with the driver. But you're right, that's that's
Speaker 1: good advice. And you think about a guy like Bryson
Speaker 1: de Shambo, the big golfer. Tons of good info. Again,
Speaker 1: if you want to catch my interview with golf dot
Speaker 1: com people, check out bet MGMs, Twitter. We really get
Speaker 1: into the nitty gritty. But look, I'm sitting here about
Speaker 1: ten minutes from the course. I'm looking out at my window.
Speaker 1: It's kind of nasty weather, guys, and it's going to
Speaker 1: be all weekend. The temperature is gonna drop. We're getting
Speaker 1: rain in and out, and the course is gonna play long.
Speaker 1: It's soft. There's gonna be a lot of wind. That's
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be a factor in an already really challenging course. Obviously,
Speaker 1: USA has lost seven of the last nine, and people
Speaker 1: are using words like desperate and existential. Whoa existential? That's
Speaker 1: hard want to say to describe the USA's position right now,
Speaker 1: because you can't lose eight of ten and their odds
Speaker 1: have even gone down It was now one ninety. Who
Speaker 1: knows how that'll keep changing. But the big storyline is
Speaker 1: the USA has had a changing of the guard, a
Speaker 1: lot of you, you know, a lot of a couple
Speaker 1: of rookies, where Europe is playing one of the best
Speaker 1: generations of Ryder Cup players ever. It's such a conflicting style.
Speaker 1: I met with shan Zac. Like I said of golf
Speaker 1: dot com, you're talking about top point scorer John rom
Speaker 1: leads the pack at plus seven fifty, and the reason
Speaker 1: why that's a safe bet is because he'll play all
Speaker 1: five matches. Whereas you look at guys like Roy McElroy,
Speaker 1: he's at plus four thousand, he probably will also play
Speaker 1: five and Tony Fen. Now, this is really good value
Speaker 1: if you want to go branch out a little bit,
Speaker 1: plus sixties six hundred he's a long hitter, he's a
Speaker 1: birdie machine. They'll need him each day, I would think
Speaker 1: as they go forward. But it's kind of funny, you know,
Speaker 1: John rom I mentioned kind of old heads playing for Europe.
Speaker 1: He's won as many Ryder Cup points as the whole
Speaker 1: U S team combined, So you can think will that
Speaker 1: help him? Will that not help him? And if you
Speaker 1: want to make a case for Europe like you are, Peter,
Speaker 1: the better value there plus two ten which may and
Speaker 1: still go up, is that the first four sessions only
Speaker 1: eight players get to play, so Europe can set some
Speaker 1: of their rookies out and completely dominate. Because the cream
Speaker 1: of the crop for Team Europe is really really good.
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. Uh he kind of named a
Speaker 1: couple that I had on the list. Rom I think
Speaker 1: is the one that really stands out to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously he's been the most consistent guy on tour this year.
Speaker 1: I think he has that bit of long ball in him,
Speaker 1: of course, but he also has just absolutely dial in
Speaker 1: with his wedges and with his iron, so I see
Speaker 1: him looking really good this week. The other person, if
Speaker 1: we go back to the US for a second, one
Speaker 1: that I'm really interested on who I think has been fair,
Speaker 1: you know, fairly consistent throughout the tour of this year.
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler plus six hundred as the top point score
Speaker 1: for US. I take a little, a little flyer on him.
Speaker 1: I think some of these guys come out and impress
Speaker 1: first Ryder Cup. A lot of them seemed like they
Speaker 1: have ice in their veins. Scottie Scheffler, Daniel Berger seemed
Speaker 1: like he was top five, top ten for locks of
Speaker 1: tournaments this year. I don't know what I'm going to
Speaker 1: see out of Kept coming off an injury, Bryce and
Speaker 1: just when he gets into trouble, it's it's bad. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a shot on some of the young boys. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that is gonna be a lot of fun to
Speaker 1: watch all weekend long. I can't believe we're sitting here
Speaker 1: in the Great US of A saying Europe's a better
Speaker 1: value in the better bet. But that's betting. Huh. We'll
Speaker 1: take whatever gives you the Monday. Let's get to football.
Speaker 1: Let's get some more money punishment. Let's break down the
Speaker 1: three games you've picked for US Chargers of Chiefs, Saints
Speaker 1: at Pat's Bucks at Rams, which we just talked with
Speaker 1: dan Orlowski about so we already know a little bit there.
Speaker 1: Chargers at Chiefs. Chiefs are the six and a half
Speaker 1: point favorite at home after a devastating loss at Baltimore,
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be a big one. Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: you know, he lost his first game ever in September,
Speaker 1: he threw his first interception ever in September, and he's
Speaker 1: going against Justin Herbert. What do you like there, Peter, Well,
Speaker 1: this all comes after our halftime Twitter special that you
Speaker 1: you guys were talking and we were just the upen
Speaker 1: the gas on on the Ravens and saying the Chiefs
Speaker 1: are gonna come off lying in the second half. Of
Speaker 1: course we were wrong, but I think the Chiefs, the
Speaker 1: Chiefs kind of needed that. I wouldn't say they played terrible,
Speaker 1: but I think that was a bit of a wake
Speaker 1: up call for them. Yeah, Lamar Jackson had an unbelievable game.
Speaker 1: I mean, just the way he can extend play is
Speaker 1: just really impressive. As usual, I think Chiefs personally come
Speaker 1: out and have a really solid performance back at home.
Speaker 1: You know what I like to in games decided by
Speaker 1: just one possession, so eight or fewer points. Since last year,
Speaker 1: Mahomes has the most wins and Herbert has the most
Speaker 1: losses eight of any quarterback in the league. So if
Speaker 1: you're looking at this line at six and a half
Speaker 1: being fewer than one possession, I definitely like Mahomes there.
Speaker 1: There are certain times when trends really kick in. I
Speaker 1: think that's a trend worth watching, don't you. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I think Chiefs on one side sounds like with Olivia,
Speaker 1: be honest, how about you. I guess that means I
Speaker 1: gotta take the Chargers. No you don't. You don't have to.
Speaker 1: I'm going to though, because I don't want to agree
Speaker 1: with you. Okay, bye. Yeah. Maybe this is the beginning
Speaker 1: of a down slide for the Chiefs. Maybe they have
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Maybe they need to have a
Speaker 1: little team meeting to two losses in a row. Maybe
Speaker 1: that loss to the Ravens sends them in a little
Speaker 1: bit of a tailspin. Let's see if I'm right. I've
Speaker 1: been right so far. You have very annoyingly you have
Speaker 1: been right so far. Okay. Saints at Pats both teams
Speaker 1: one and one, Pats two and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones is the toast of the town. He's the future.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Peter, I put more stock into
Speaker 1: the performance of the Saints from last week than I
Speaker 1: do and the Patriots. The Jets looked horrendous. Feel for
Speaker 1: I feel for Zach Wilson, the guy. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know he was sailing a couple of balls, but no
Speaker 1: protection from his team. I think me. You know, LUs
Speaker 1: three could have played the line, we would have a
Speaker 1: couple of sacks. So I don't take much stock into
Speaker 1: the past here. Saints, on the other hand, who looked
Speaker 1: really good week one against the Packers, they look terrible
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. And I know the Panthers look like
Speaker 1: they're they're a legitimate team, but Saints coming out with
Speaker 1: that little production was was a big red flag for me.
Speaker 1: So this one will be interesting. I think between you guys,
Speaker 1: all right, Olivia, I'll let you go first. I'm going
Speaker 1: to take the Saints, and I'm only doing that because
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be Chalky here and I
Speaker 1: feel like I always go with the favorite. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Saints because we saw a lot of
Speaker 1: promise week one and really disappointed in Jamis last week.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys saw that special
Speaker 1: and NFL countdown of him standing on a boast of
Speaker 1: ball on one foot and juggling and calling out the
Speaker 1: card name, and that's impressive enough. This guy can win
Speaker 1: some games. All right, Well, I'm glad you did that
Speaker 1: because I am taking the paths. I am committing trees
Speaker 1: in it against my heart. Okay, I'm doing what they
Speaker 1: call in uh an o h G. Because she's she
Speaker 1: she's cold hearted, and she goes with the mind over
Speaker 1: the heart. I'm going with the mind. The way the
Speaker 1: defenses are playing right now. The way I love Mac
Speaker 1: Jones is uh postgame press conference when he was asked
Speaker 1: about rookie quarterbacks and he said, look, he's Zach Wilson's
Speaker 1: a really good, great player. We're all gonna make mistakes.
Speaker 1: He's gonna learn. He is a very mature rookie. He's
Speaker 1: under the tutelage of the goat. I'm going with the
Speaker 1: Patriots on this one. Sorry, New York Wow. Okay. And
Speaker 1: our last game is Sunday Eastern, two undefeated teams, two
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 1: You heard what Dan Olaski had to think about it,
Speaker 1: he was teammates, of course with Matt Stafford in Detroit.
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady, this is wild to me. He's playing
Speaker 1: his first career game in Los Angeles. Yeah, I can't
Speaker 1: believe that as much as I want to say Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football, because I'm going his game of the Week
Speaker 1: nine is Packers and this is the real game of
Speaker 1: the week week. Yeah. Bucks, Rams. I think on paper
Speaker 1: right now, they're probably the two best teams in the NFL. Rams.
Speaker 1: I know I had a little bit of a of
Speaker 1: a scare last week, but they are a really well
Speaker 1: rounded team. Matthew Stafford is clearly a big, a big
Speaker 1: upgrade from from Jared Golf last year. The way Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup is playing, I think their offense can really fire
Speaker 1: on all cylinders. And they even you know, they haven't
Speaker 1: gotten people involved yet. Tyler Higbee. I think Robert Woods,
Speaker 1: you haven't seen much from them. That's just because Cup
Speaker 1: and Henderson have been really impressive, and then of course
Speaker 1: you have Bucks. On the other hand. It came out
Speaker 1: what was a Gronk two touchdowns, Mike Evans two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: Godwin had a touchdown. Brady as long as he just
Speaker 1: does this for the rest of the season. He is
Speaker 1: the clear cut m VP. This is the real game
Speaker 1: of the week for me. So I think this is
Speaker 1: the one that's going to decide everything for us and
Speaker 1: Yannice listen to this. Brady has won his last ten games.
Speaker 1: We know that that includes playoffs, obviously the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and he's thrown thirty one touchdowns in that process. In
Speaker 1: two weeks when he plays at New England when he's
Speaker 1: supposed to break the Drew Brees record, So a lot
Speaker 1: of records on the line for Brady. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: amazing if the day he retires he hasn't broken every
Speaker 1: quarterback record, right, guys, absolutely, Okay, you guys are in sync.
Speaker 1: Now we're really okay. I'm taking the Bucks. Okay, you
Speaker 1: take the Bucks. Well, here, we're gonna have to agree.
Speaker 1: After that interview with Dan and we talked about how
Speaker 1: Tommy terrific probably takes care of his old line with
Speaker 1: all the money he has and that advantage. I'm going
Speaker 1: with the Bucks too. I may even say right now,
Speaker 1: the Bucks go undefeated this season. I think Tommy's gonna
Speaker 1: run it back from that great that great season that
Speaker 1: they had that the Giants spoiled which was one of
Speaker 1: the best moments of my life. I think they just
Speaker 1: looked too good and they're having too much fun. Yeah, Bucks,
Speaker 1: we agree. Okay, well we're split here. Otherwise this what
Speaker 1: are we gonna do if we tie? If we tie,
Speaker 1: would just have to fight it out, you know, m
Speaker 1: M A s. Okay, Okay, talk about a great live stream. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we tie, I'll read the closing segment. How about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we co write it for Peter. Hey, Peter, one quick
Speaker 1: thing I want to ask you about. It's not one
Speaker 1: of our games, but to a tongue of Valoa is
Speaker 1: officially ruled out for Sunday with broken ribs. They play
Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Raiders are also a very highly talked
Speaker 1: about team, kind of a confusing team already. What's your
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway with the Raiders? Does two US injury affect
Speaker 1: that game much? Or where the Dolphins losing anyways? I
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins were losing anyways. I think defensively they
Speaker 1: have a pretty pretty good team. I've had concerns about
Speaker 1: two and since he got drafted a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's the answer. I think they
Speaker 1: look in the off season at a different quarterback. Who knows.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a a Jimmy g kind of guy that
Speaker 1: maybe moving on from a different team. They may draft
Speaker 1: someone as well, But I think he is not the answer.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't look two boys in the pocket. I
Speaker 1: think that college game this is where it does not
Speaker 1: translate nicely for a guy like him. It's interesting. A
Speaker 1: lot of quarterback injuries. The biggest one we've seen in
Speaker 1: terms of live movement is probably Tyrod Taylor out for
Speaker 1: the Texans, and then and then obviously Big Ben to
Speaker 1: see what happens there. I think those are the big
Speaker 1: live movers, but tu I don't know how much it
Speaker 1: impacts things. And then certainly the Heineke and and Fits
Speaker 1: one is another one where I think it's pretty flat,
Speaker 1: pretty even. So. I think this is a huge week
Speaker 1: for the NFL. You started seeing some of these teams
Speaker 1: that look like they're legitimate contenders, but I think lots
Speaker 1: of these games this week will dictate who's kind of
Speaker 1: gonna be there come j Anward. Thanks so much, Peter,
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Guys. Don't forget to go to
