Speaker 1: Check it on Man, no down Man, Happy Holiday, Good Monday.
Speaker 1: Mornay is a numbers game right here in Visa and
Speaker 1: the Sports Betting Network and Visa dot Com. The Visa
Speaker 1: have Fubo Sling and Game Plus guessing lines for Week
Speaker 1: sixteen of the National Football League. That's what we're here for.
Speaker 1: Christie Andrews have joined us momentarily to do that. Within
Speaker 1: the exercise, we hope to extract some value. First look
Speaker 1: at week sixteen lines. But first, yeah, I wasn't watching
Speaker 1: anything yesterday. As soon the Rams got through, right, Jason,
Speaker 1: that was Yeah, they didn't get through. They didn't get through. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: let me just say this, by the way, I had
Speaker 1: the Rams, in case you're wondering, uh as brutal as
Speaker 1: that was as big as the disappointment is of running
Speaker 1: into that iceberg in week number fifteen. I can only
Speaker 1: take solace in the fact that, for not one second
Speaker 1: was I gonna pick anyone else, Not one second. The
Speaker 1: Rams were always the planned team. By the way, the
Speaker 1: sixteen of us remaining that had the Rams, all of
Speaker 1: us took the Rams correctly. There was no other option,
Speaker 1: was not even for not even a moment's thought. So
Speaker 1: in that respect, you kind of just taken You're like,
Speaker 1: well planned it as well as it could was. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like there's any self loathing involved, which is different
Speaker 1: from previous weeks had you lost, because there were other
Speaker 1: options and there would have been a big self loathing
Speaker 1: factor as you lost. But yesterday, uh nope, any given Sunday,
Speaker 1: that's the old phrase. And the Rams couldn't get it
Speaker 1: done as seventeen and a half point favorites against the
Speaker 1: New York Jets couldn't get it done. Total no show.
Speaker 1: First half. The Jared golf face got us reminiscent of
Speaker 1: the j Cutler face and the Joe Flacco face which
Speaker 1: preceded it in its ancestry, the Jared Goff face. We'll
Speaker 1: get it in all that more and more as the
Speaker 1: as the show goes on. But that's it. I'm out.
Speaker 1: I'm Cramer. I'm out. Sixty five left, by the way,
Speaker 1: sixteen Rams and one Niners, one Bold Niners player yesterday
Speaker 1: in Circus Survivor, so sixty five remain headed into well
Speaker 1: those Steelers tonight. I suppose that could happen also, but
Speaker 1: sixty five, as of this moment, remaining in Circus survivor.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to all of them. Uh, and good for you
Speaker 1: to have avoided the rams pitfall yesterday. By the way,
Speaker 1: I said many times on this show, Week sixteen was
Speaker 1: gonna be dicey. Week seventeen was certainly going to be squirrely.
Speaker 1: There was no guarantee we're gonna get through the whole way.
Speaker 1: But I never saw Week fifty coming, never never gave
Speaker 1: it a moment's thought. Buddy, he's out too. He had
Speaker 1: the rams A mall still in it. Someone else we
Speaker 1: know who doesn't want to talk about it. Let's bring
Speaker 1: him in to do some guestig lines. Week sixteen, we'll
Speaker 1: talk more about survivors. They show goes on. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he is, my misch book. He runs the south Point
Speaker 1: Hotel Casino right here behind us, at the lovely south
Speaker 1: Point Hotel Casino, the tip of the strip. It's chrisy Andrews.
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, Chris. What's going on, pam um
Speaker 1: Let me, let's just put it this way. I personally
Speaker 1: was very happy with the RAM outcome. Yes, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you are. I'm sure you are. People can draw from that,
Speaker 1: but they will. People can understand a Chris he hates
Speaker 1: me be he has no heart or see, maybe he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk about something that's a uh well,
Speaker 1: congratulations to all again who went through. But but as
Speaker 1: I said, you know, hey, that's the game. That's the game.
Speaker 1: That's how hard it is to get through to the end.
Speaker 1: There's always pitfalls. You can't see. How did you do
Speaker 1: as a book? Yesterday and this weekend in football? Yesterday
Speaker 1: was terrible, terrible. Uh. From the beginning of the week
Speaker 1: we had lots of teasers running, not not so much.
Speaker 1: From Thursday that wasn't much. But Saturday, both favorites one
Speaker 1: and you know, one covered one didn't. But you have
Speaker 1: to start looking at teasers and the teasers and a
Speaker 1: couple of ball rams blocked out a bunch of teasers. No, no,
Speaker 1: they didn't have that many people teased from seventeen down
Speaker 1: to eleven. I mean, it's not a brilliant teaser. I
Speaker 1: don't know what you would be thinking if you did that,
Speaker 1: but I think I'm sure a couple of guys did.
Speaker 1: But otherwise, you look up and down the slate. You know,
Speaker 1: the favorites won a lot of games. I didn't cover
Speaker 1: all that many, but that's what really hurt us, and
Speaker 1: of course the biggest, you know, one of the biggest
Speaker 1: action games the year was the Saints in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: You know, we're I'm trying to look with it. We
Speaker 1: open I think we opened three. We opened three and
Speaker 1: a half. It took the three and a half down three,
Speaker 1: back up to three and a half, back down the three.
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, breeze is planned, so we
Speaker 1: go to two and a half. You know, we're stated
Speaker 1: at three. So we got bad, but we went back,
Speaker 1: we went down to three and a half. We a
Speaker 1: lot of guys taking the plus three. I finally had
Speaker 1: to go to an half. They laid it back up.
Speaker 1: I mean it. That game could not possibly have come worse.
Speaker 1: It was, you know, so huge action and from three
Speaker 1: and a half to two and a half because of
Speaker 1: you know, action of course, but and uh quarterback decision
Speaker 1: on the part of New Orleans. Um, just everything played
Speaker 1: into the hands of killing us, and and that that
Speaker 1: really hurt bad. I know exactly what that game crossed us,
Speaker 1: and it was I'll watch, So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Crimere River, as I would say, Gil Alexander Christy ed,
Speaker 1: this is a numbers game right here at Visa, the
Speaker 1: sports betting network, Visa dot Com, the Visa that Food
Speaker 1: Boast linking game plus reviewing the week gone by heading
Speaker 1: into Guessing Lives for Week sixteen, I will say this,
Speaker 1: you know again, I was able to I didn't pre
Speaker 1: flop in terms of Survivor play, didn't pre flop the Jets,
Speaker 1: but I did get them in game when they were
Speaker 1: up thirteen to nothing. It was a coin flip. So
Speaker 1: I was able to make money on the Jets and
Speaker 1: my entire weekend, just to what you're talking about, Saturday
Speaker 1: was a massive winner for me, like one of my
Speaker 1: top ten of all time. Every college football game ended
Speaker 1: up going my way with the team. But the teasers
Speaker 1: that we talked about here on this show, and I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the teaser that everybody ought to be
Speaker 1: doing Buffalo Green Bay on Saturday and if you want
Speaker 1: to get frisky, put an Indie on Sunday. All of
Speaker 1: that worked out. So it just ended up being this
Speaker 1: great haul on the one side, and then this massive
Speaker 1: Survivor disappointment, which is absolutely brutal disappointment. But again for
Speaker 1: all the reasons I stated, there was never there was
Speaker 1: never a second I wasn't gonna pick the ramps, so
Speaker 1: you just gotta eat it. You gotta eat it. That's
Speaker 1: how it works. All right. Let's talk week sixteen. Let
Speaker 1: us start with Thursday night football. Where is it Friday?
Speaker 1: How's it worked this week? Yeah, it's Friday, Christmas Day,
Speaker 1: that's right. We have the Vikings at the st alright.
Speaker 1: Not much to say about the Vikings game yesterday. They
Speaker 1: lose to the Bears. Uh, and they lose in a
Speaker 1: game where they never they never led, they trailed the
Speaker 1: whole way versus Chicago. Chicago punted only once on the
Speaker 1: opening possession of the game. I think Minnesota had a
Speaker 1: had a pick in the end zone at one point,
Speaker 1: but other than that, really that was the only time
Speaker 1: they stopped the Bears the punt on their first possession.
Speaker 1: Cousins thirty five two seventy one, two touchdowns, one pick,
Speaker 1: sack three times, Cook for one thirty two in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: He always fills up a box score, so does Jefferson
Speaker 1: eight catches for one oh four four seven total yards.
Speaker 1: But if you're not stopping the other team doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: So Minnesota, yes, mathematically they're still alive at six and eight,
Speaker 1: but they're done zo. They're done zo. Now Bears very
Speaker 1: much alive. Will get to the Bears when we get there.
Speaker 1: And then, as you mentioned, New Orleans, New Orleans loses
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs by three. Uh. And when you look
Speaker 1: at this box score, Chris, I don't really understand how
Speaker 1: they lost by only three. It's amazing they they marquee
Speaker 1: game of the week by far. As you mentioned, they
Speaker 1: lose it thirty two to twenty nine. Um Breeze was
Speaker 1: fifteen of thirty four for two thirty four, three touchdowns
Speaker 1: are one pick, and he was sacked once. But he
Speaker 1: needed more than a full quarter to complete a pass
Speaker 1: or lead the Saints to a first down. His first
Speaker 1: completion came on his seventh pass of the game. It
Speaker 1: was in the second quarter. Alvin Kamaro yes eleven for
Speaker 1: fifty four on the ground, three catches forty yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown through the air. But the the Saints had
Speaker 1: fifteen first downs to Kansas City's thirty three. They were
Speaker 1: one of ten on third down. Contrast that with Casey
Speaker 1: going nine of seventeen. They had ten penalties for ninety
Speaker 1: three yards. They were out time of possessioned if you will,
Speaker 1: by Kansas City forty one, fourteen to eighteen forty six,
Speaker 1: and yet they lost by three. They can clinch the
Speaker 1: NFC South with a win or a Tampa Bay loss
Speaker 1: next week, but as far as the number one seed,
Speaker 1: that is virtually done. So I'll say Saints by a touchdown,
Speaker 1: Saints by seven. Yeah, you're right on. You know, it's
Speaker 1: seven my numbers come day eight and a half, mostly
Speaker 1: because I just downgraded Minnesota. Uh, you know, they just
Speaker 1: look like they're ready to head south. You know, that's
Speaker 1: that's you know that that that's that for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think we know what New Orleans is, even though um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was kind of miraculous yesterday. Yeah, breeze come out
Speaker 1: over six. You know when you see that from the
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, you know, uh, you know, yeah, they struggled.
Speaker 1: It was very difficult for them, but you know, they
Speaker 1: wound up hanging in there. And I'm I'm like, you listen,
Speaker 1: we need we didn't. We didn't have a big need
Speaker 1: in that game. Kind of needed New Orleans a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, but not not much. Doesn't needed anything but
Speaker 1: a three, and of course that's what happened. But Minnesota, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I don't like this team, and you know
Speaker 1: every wise guy in town bet against them yesterday. Um,
Speaker 1: I see this. I see this team just heading south.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna open seven. That's what it is. I
Speaker 1: even see one six and a half out there. But
Speaker 1: if I've see this trending higher, I'm gonna go higher
Speaker 1: because I think, uh not so much of the Saints
Speaker 1: are so much the right side of the Minnesota is
Speaker 1: the wrong side. It appears another Kirk Cousins season will
Speaker 1: end in middling nothingness. But we'll see Minnesota mathematically alive,
Speaker 1: but not much more than that. All right, Uh, Saturday games?
Speaker 1: Do we have Saturday? Yeah? It was Saturday morning? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right? What we got Tampa at Detroit Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: yesterday sixty total yards in the first half versus Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Atlanta had a seventeen to nothing lead at the half
Speaker 1: um and then they had to seven lead, And as
Speaker 1: Ryan Clark said this morning, he said, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's arians team when the game starts, and then when
Speaker 1: you fall seventeen down, then it becomes Brady's team. Rallies
Speaker 1: the Bucks from a pair of those uh those pair
Speaker 1: of seventeen point deficits. They trailed by seventeen and the
Speaker 1: third quarter that seven deficit lad the Bucks on five
Speaker 1: straight scoring drives four touchdowns in the field goal in
Speaker 1: the second half for a thirty one to twenty seven
Speaker 1: win over the stun Falcons included a first down given
Speaker 1: Shenan again on a measurement, but four hundred sixteen total
Speaker 1: yards UH for the Bucks. Brady was thirty one of
Speaker 1: forty five for three ninety two touchdowns note picks. He
Speaker 1: was sacked three times, Evans six for one ten eight
Speaker 1: excuse me, Antonio Brown five for ninety three and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Devin White had three sacks. So Tampa Bay gets it done.
Speaker 1: We're the Falcons fans rank do you think in the
Speaker 1: Tom we hate Tom Brady mythology right behind all the
Speaker 1: A f c S teams right up there. Just brutal
Speaker 1: of course, to three deficit in the Super Bowl. Leaping
Speaker 1: to mind you said they're at Detroit. Detroit eliminated from
Speaker 1: playoff contention. Yesterday, They've allowed thirty plus points in four
Speaker 1: straight games. They've allowed forty plus US points four times
Speaker 1: this season, the most in the NFL, including yesterday when
Speaker 1: they lose the Tennessee forty six in a game quite
Speaker 1: frankly where Detroit had their opportunities but just couldn't keep
Speaker 1: up in the end. Stafford was thirty two for two
Speaker 1: fifty two, one touchdown, note picks. He was sacked zero times.
Speaker 1: Remember he played with UH with center Frank Ragnow and
Speaker 1: right tackle Tyrrell Crosby both out. Rag Now had the
Speaker 1: fractured throat. For those again scoring at home, Chase Daniel
Speaker 1: came in. He was five of six or fifty five,
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked to zero as well. No,
Speaker 1: I was not sacked at all. Marvin Jones Jr. Ten
Speaker 1: for one twelve and a touchdown. But but the Lions
Speaker 1: were minus three in turnovers. That's all you need to
Speaker 1: know against the Titans. So they got housed in the
Speaker 1: end by three touchdowns. Uh, Tampa Bay minus seven. I
Speaker 1: will say at Detroit, I a little light. It's most eight.
Speaker 1: I see I see a seven and a half the nine. Um, well,
Speaker 1: I say, you know, I'm you can't be totally sold
Speaker 1: on this, Tampa baby. I think you know. Ryan Clark,
Speaker 1: you hit it right. Becomes Tom's team in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter when they're losing and they might be losing by
Speaker 1: too much. I'm gonna open eight and a half. My
Speaker 1: numbers came to eleven in this game. Detroy just another
Speaker 1: team that I think has gone south. I don't see
Speaker 1: them having much to play for here. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open at eight and a half. And by
Speaker 1: the way, that Tampa game was one I kind of
Speaker 1: I kind of turned away in the third in the
Speaker 1: third quarter, you know, thinking well, here's one we need
Speaker 1: to knock out one teaser. We didn't knock out any
Speaker 1: we need to look out knock out one teaser game.
Speaker 1: I thought this was our game, you know, we had
Speaker 1: a lead. Um Campbell wasn't playing well, and it was
Speaker 1: but just didn't happen. But nonetheless, my numbers come a lot.
Speaker 1: Are my numbers come to eleven that I could be
Speaker 1: diminishing returns on that game, on that favorite, But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open eight and half. I just think the Lions
Speaker 1: team just terrible. Nobody wants a bet and nobody wants
Speaker 1: a walks. No one wants anything to do with them.
Speaker 1: Someone opening the app, they'll probably bet me down. But
Speaker 1: it is the opening number. If you look around the internet, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know better about the betting activity at your shop
Speaker 1: of the on the lines of their defense is just atrocious,
Speaker 1: just absolutely atrocious. So I can't blame anyone Next Saturday. Also,
Speaker 1: I would assume, yes, we've got three on Saturday Night.
Speaker 1: I like that schedule. Niners at the Cardinals, Niners at
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Uh Niners eliminated from playoff contention. They become
Speaker 1: the second Super Bowl runner up in the past thirteen
Speaker 1: seasons to finish with a losing record the next year,
Speaker 1: just the second and thirteen. Mullins thirty six. By the way,
Speaker 1: they lose to the Cowboys. I should mention that knocked
Speaker 1: out one brave survivor forty one to thirty three. They
Speaker 1: lose to Dallas. Mullins six for two nineteen two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: two picks, ack twice, Beth third in relief five of seven,
Speaker 1: but through the hail Mary at the end they got
Speaker 1: caught in the end zone. So it it up with
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and a touchdown. Born was on the
Speaker 1: receiving end of that four eight six at a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I can nine up set nine for seventy three at
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Four fifty eight total yards didn't matter. They lost,
Speaker 1: you know why because they were minus four in turnovers,
Speaker 1: all of which set up Dallas scores. That'll do it.
Speaker 1: It's all it takes. UH six This this coming game
Speaker 1: against Arizona will be the sixth of seven straight games
Speaker 1: outside of California for the Niners to finish the season
Speaker 1: after Santa Clara County band contact Sports over COVID nineteen issues.
Speaker 1: So they're vagabonds and remember um already Kyle Shanahana's on
Speaker 1: record as saying, Oh, my team's gonna be with their
Speaker 1: families on the holiday. So who knows how locked in
Speaker 1: the Niners will be for this game Arizona UH Eagles
Speaker 1: trailed them sixteen to nothing in the first quarter. I mean,
Speaker 1: Cardinals let it sixteen to nothing, but the Eagles rallied
Speaker 1: to tide at twenty six and the third quarter, Arizona
Speaker 1: responded with a go ahead touchdown drive cap by Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray's touchdown pass did DeAndre Hopkins corner Michael Jacquette was
Speaker 1: playing tight d on the play. Hopkins took the ball
Speaker 1: away anyway, held it with one hand as he fell
Speaker 1: past the pilot into the end zone. That made a
Speaker 1: lot of Arizona survivor players very happy, very sweaty game
Speaker 1: for them. Murray thirty six for four oh six, a
Speaker 1: career high three touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked once.
Speaker 1: First half, he threw for two dred sixty four yards
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Hurts by the way one seventy seven
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in the first half. Philadelphia was playing
Speaker 1: without three of its four starters in the secondary because
Speaker 1: of injuries that ended up helping Hopkins nine catches for
Speaker 1: one s nited a touchdown, five hundred and twenty six
Speaker 1: total yards for the Cardinals to four twenty two for
Speaker 1: Philly in in in in a box score anomaly, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals were minus three in turnovers. They should have won
Speaker 1: this game going away, and a couple of those were
Speaker 1: in the red zone. But they do clinch a playoff
Speaker 1: berth with a win in the Chicago loss this coming
Speaker 1: week Arizona, I'll say minus m hmm. Let's see, this
Speaker 1: is a no man's land line for me. Somewhere between
Speaker 1: the re in the seven, I'll say five and a half.
Speaker 1: It's a hard one. Well, you're a little you're a
Speaker 1: little high. My numbers come to five, so I'm kind
Speaker 1: of with you. But this I'm looking around at two
Speaker 1: and a half and four, and I'm gonna open four.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay high on this one. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of things, you know, pan against the Niners. I
Speaker 1: would say more than point for the Cardinals. You mentioned
Speaker 1: Shanahan already talking about how his team is going to
Speaker 1: be able to spend time with his family, with their
Speaker 1: families over Christmas, and uh I think that. You know,
Speaker 1: they are vagabonds. They've been on the road, what six
Speaker 1: six weeks or something like that. Uh yeah, I just
Speaker 1: there's I see a lot of things pointing against the
Speaker 1: forty Niners and Cardinals coming off. You know, a nice win.
Speaker 1: They played, They played well, they had to turnovers that
Speaker 1: kept that game close. By the way, I thought that
Speaker 1: was another game where we might knock out a few teasers,
Speaker 1: but what wasn't to be. I'm gonna stay high. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna use four, but mostly three and a half is
Speaker 1: what seems low to me. Does seem low? Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: specially knowing what we know about shanahan stance and the
Speaker 1: families of those Niners players. Let's do the last Saturday
Speaker 1: game here. Let's get this one before the break, Okay,
Speaker 1: Miami at the Las Vegas Races. Miami wins, again one
Speaker 1: they've They've won eight of ten nows and starting one
Speaker 1: in three. I had Miami yesterday. I did not understand
Speaker 1: that the New England Patriots lines all year long have
Speaker 1: made no sense to me. Week after week we've been
Speaker 1: in here, and that's the one team that I just
Speaker 1: do not understand. The lines on two was twenty of
Speaker 1: twenty six yesterday for one. That's it. That's it. Didn't
Speaker 1: throw the ball more than fifteen yards down field, no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick, sack twice Ahmed twenty three for one touchdown.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were seven of twelve on third down, one
Speaker 1: of one on fourth down against the past two hundred
Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards. They didn't have any of the receivers,
Speaker 1: so they went to the ground. It's not like New
Speaker 1: England didn't know that was gonna happen. Undrafted key Salvan
Speaker 1: Amen and veteran Matt Berrita combining for two hundred eight
Speaker 1: yards together to lead Miami to the two to twelve
Speaker 1: win over the Patriots. Thirty seven minutes twenty six seconds
Speaker 1: in time of possession over four for the Pats. They
Speaker 1: entered the game last in the league. The Dolphins did
Speaker 1: in yards per carry and Ahmed became the first a
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher since twenty eighteen. Again, three most productive
Speaker 1: receivers were out. Davonte Parker with the Hamstringer came Grant
Speaker 1: with the hamstring, Mike Gatsicki the tight end with the shoulder.
Speaker 1: They're playing the Raiders. Raiders gonna be a little bit
Speaker 1: on extra rest here, but remember they lost Derek Carter
Speaker 1: the groin injury Thursday night against uh against the Chargers
Speaker 1: and that ridiculous coaching opera between Anthony Lynn and John Bruden.
Speaker 1: Mariotta was really good in relief seventeen of twenty eight
Speaker 1: two twenty six was a financial boon for him. Nine
Speaker 1: for eight eight and a touchdown on the ground. Waller
Speaker 1: unstoppable nine for one fifty and a touchdown four hundred
Speaker 1: forty nine totally yard. They could have won in overtime,
Speaker 1: but John Gruden just refused to continue with the read
Speaker 1: option um. All four of the Raiders games against the
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Chief have come down of the final play.
Speaker 1: I will say the Dolphins by three because I don't
Speaker 1: think home field matters. Yeah, it's two and a half.
Speaker 1: My numbers come to four. One of the mess with
Speaker 1: a three on this game, So I might open the
Speaker 1: two and a half unless I see it going higher.
Speaker 1: But that the Dolphins game yesterday, that was probably our
Speaker 1: best game today and it was I want to like you, Gil,
Speaker 1: I could not understand the theory behind that move. I
Speaker 1: just didn't get it. Uh. But it's kind of with
Speaker 1: the Dolphins all year that they seem to be betting
Speaker 1: against them quite a bit. I know my numbers are
Speaker 1: always way higher on the Dolphins. It's been a good
Speaker 1: team for us this year. Like I said, I will
Speaker 1: open to an half, but if I see it going higher,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and get up that at three. Uh
Speaker 1: you got. I'm not sure who's gonna start. It looks
Speaker 1: like a good chance is gonna be Marriota for the Raiders.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that influences the number all that much.
Speaker 1: He played pretty well. Um, but uh yeah, I like
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Hearing this spot, I think, to Apps and
Speaker 1: Shade Cheap, I think there should be at least three,
Speaker 1: and like I said, my numbers from the four, I
Speaker 1: think it should be over the three. Yeah. I didn't
Speaker 1: get the New England move. I didn't get the Broncos
Speaker 1: move against the Bills on Saturday. Those were two of
Speaker 1: my contest picks. Didn't understand either of those. Just funny
Speaker 1: like almost overthinking kind of things by the market. Those two, uh,
Speaker 1: those two cases, Like I said, it's it's a weird
Speaker 1: weekend financial boon and then the Survivor disaster. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: We're guessing lines week sixteen on the numbers game in
Speaker 1: visa these sports betting that we're okay, we are on
Speaker 1: the Sunday and we have the Broncos at the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Broncos at the Chargers. Is this an afternoon game? Early game?
Speaker 1: It's an afternoon game. And this this got moved to
Speaker 1: the afternoon's first in the rotation. Sorry, afternoon, let's do
Speaker 1: first to the rotation. We'll do it out of order
Speaker 1: for this one. Well ourn exception here Jason, Jason's all
Speaker 1: the discompopulated flexible, Okay, right here behind uh Denver at
Speaker 1: the Chargers because it's a real winner of a game here.
Speaker 1: Drew Lock Saturday against the Bills was twenty thirty two
Speaker 1: for one thirty two, one touchdown, no pis sack three
Speaker 1: times one thirty two. Fourth consecutive losing season for the Broncos.
Speaker 1: First team ever to go five years without making the
Speaker 1: playoffs following a Super Bowl title. How about that first
Speaker 1: team ever after winning the Super Bowl to go five
Speaker 1: straight years not making the playoffs. Uh, Josh Allen just
Speaker 1: dismantled their secondary. Uh that secondary had lost five cornerbacks
Speaker 1: in two weeks. Five corners in two weeks. Did not understand,
Speaker 1: and yet the line moved towards the Bronco was like,
Speaker 1: I just don't understand. Brandon McManus went on the COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen reserve list. Taylor Russellino missed a fifty one yard
Speaker 1: and two extra points, So that was the fall out
Speaker 1: of that. That didn't help. Denver got housed by Buffalo
Speaker 1: in that game on Saturday, and teaser leg for everybody. Chargers,
Speaker 1: as we talked about Thursday, they'll be on extra rest.
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert Rookie of the Year come on thirty two
Speaker 1: for three four ten, two touchdowns note picks one sack
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. NFL rookie record now with with his
Speaker 1: seventh yard game twenty seven passing scores on the year,
Speaker 1: that ties Baker Mayfield for the most buy a rookie
Speaker 1: in NFL history. And he's still got two games to
Speaker 1: beat it. All that said, meg game to five and
Speaker 1: nine teams going nowhere chargers minus. I'll say four, but
Speaker 1: I know Anthony Lynn will make this, should make this lower.
Speaker 1: But I'll say four. I don't think. I think a
Speaker 1: couple of three and a halves out there with pretty
Speaker 1: heavy juice on the dog, but mostly three with juice
Speaker 1: on the favorite of three twenty three quarter. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which one I'm gonna over. By the way,
Speaker 1: my numbers when I was you know, just pure power rating, adding,
Speaker 1: adding and subtracting, my numbers came to two chargers to
Speaker 1: and so that was to the point that's way too
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go make an adjustment here somewhere
Speaker 1: that's there. I'd laid two and a heart beat. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna debate between three and three and a half where
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open, uh, because both sides with with either
Speaker 1: of those numbers, I have a lot of juice attached,
Speaker 1: you know, So I'm not sure which one I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open yet. I got un till nine o'clock to the side.
Speaker 1: But somewhere in there, three years nine o'clock, Grizzy, that's
Speaker 1: the deadline right at the end of the show, self
Speaker 1: imposed deadline. If they don't have corners. Still always check
Speaker 1: the injury reports on these, especially this time of year.
Speaker 1: But if dever doesn't have corners, I will take the
Speaker 1: Chargers there. All right, let's do one more. The Browns
Speaker 1: at the Jets, Browns at the Jets. Do we have
Speaker 1: to talk about the Jets. Brown's win yesterday? That game
Speaker 1: against the Giants was one of the worst viewing experiences
Speaker 1: ever unless you were hitting the under the whole time
Speaker 1: that it was beautiful or Cleveland. Cleveland beats the Giants
Speaker 1: last night, uh, in case you missed it, and they
Speaker 1: did so in very ho hum fashion, very ho hume fashion,
Speaker 1: by the final score of twenty to six. Mayfield seven
Speaker 1: of thirty two, twenty seven of thirty two, five in
Speaker 1: completions the whole game for two nine seven yards, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was sacked once. He led to ninety
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown drives. Brown's come very close now to
Speaker 1: ending a seventeen year playoff drought With the six win.
Speaker 1: They were nine of thirteen on third down. Giants couldn't
Speaker 1: get him off the field, highest win total ten now
Speaker 1: since their n Expansion rebirth or ten and four. And
Speaker 1: then there's the Jets. As I mentioned of course at
Speaker 1: the top with Survivor, the Jets got me. After fifty
Speaker 1: one weeks, thirteen games without a win, the Jets finally
Speaker 1: are in the chance to celebrate Uh no longer in position.
Speaker 1: Though for the topic in the NFL Draft, that was
Speaker 1: the that was the real life fallout. Fallout in quotes
Speaker 1: of that win is that now the Jaguars, by strength
Speaker 1: of schedule, have the tiebreaker for the number one pick
Speaker 1: in the draft, and Trevor Lawrence uh Jets scored on
Speaker 1: their opening possession for an eighth straight game. Donald was
Speaker 1: twenty two of thirty one for two oh seven one
Speaker 1: touchdown note picks. He was sacked twice. But here's what
Speaker 1: happened in that game, and there's so many things for
Speaker 1: those of us who had the Rams in Survivor. There
Speaker 1: was a punt block by the Jets that got them
Speaker 1: three points. Rams just couldn't do anything in the first half.
Speaker 1: They didn't show up. Rams touchdown was called back. It
Speaker 1: was a go ahead touchdown with seven thirty five to play,
Speaker 1: cam Akers eighteen yard but it was a it was
Speaker 1: wiped out by a holding penalty, but it was a
Speaker 1: legit holding penalty. The one that gets me, though, is
Speaker 1: there's a couple of them. One Nassimba Webster had a
Speaker 1: thirty four yard punt return after that on a branden
Speaker 1: Man punt. Branden Man, the punter made the tackle and
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the all twenty two footage or
Speaker 1: a wide shot. It looked like Webster could have just
Speaker 1: cut to the outside and gone to the house. Instead,
Speaker 1: he cut inside and the punter tripped him up. And
Speaker 1: then with four minutes left, instead of attempting a game
Speaker 1: tying fifty five yard field goal for Matt Gay, Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh decides to go for it and Jared Goff goes
Speaker 1: downfield throws a bomb incomplete with that Jared Goff face
Speaker 1: Again Have I mentioned that yet? Today? So many regrets.
Speaker 1: Jets win, Jags loss puts the Jags in the driver's seat.
Speaker 1: As I said for Trevor Lawrence, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: get Chrissie's reaction. I'll say the Browns by ten. Yeah,
Speaker 1: once again, I like your number better. It's mostly nine
Speaker 1: and a half. I see, I see like two tens
Speaker 1: up there with considerable juice on the dog debating on
Speaker 1: this one too. Probably open nine and a half. That
Speaker 1: is the number that's out there, But my my number
Speaker 1: is some the thirteen and a half um again probably
Speaker 1: diminishing returns on the side of the favorite there maybe
Speaker 1: looks a little bit too high, but it's cleaning teams
Speaker 1: really really good. They're they're a good, good team. But
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that the wise guys don't have
Speaker 1: any trouble betting on the Jets, which can be night
Speaker 1: sometimes because the public has no trouble betting against him.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that, but probably one and a half.
Speaker 1: I reserved the rights to change on my mic go
Speaker 1: to TN on this one, But right now I think
Speaker 1: I'm an open nine and a half in in sixteen
Speaker 1: we you know fifteen parton me? You don't know sixteen No,
Speaker 1: because they didn't play Thanksgiving. So at a fifteen opportunities,
Speaker 1: I bet against the Jet, not bet against, but took
Speaker 1: the team against the Jets and survivor eight times out
Speaker 1: of those fifteen and the eighth one the eighth one
Speaker 1: bit me. But I will tell you along the way,
Speaker 1: there were a few of those, right, the Raiders being
Speaker 1: the most obvious where the Jets were not at all
Speaker 1: a laughable team. Against the Bills, they weren't a laughable
Speaker 1: team either, So they probably should be more than a
Speaker 1: one win team, let's be honest. Yet they are not,
Speaker 1: and it's the one win that takes them out of
Speaker 1: the number one position for Trevor Lawrence. They've covered like
Speaker 1: five out of the last six spreads. They started out
Speaker 1: oh and eight against the spread, and they've really come
Speaker 1: on strong. That was going to be my last time
Speaker 1: to bet against them or to have a team against them,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't get through Jared Golf Sean McVeigh. We'll
Speaker 1: get to Jared Goff's quote coming up later. All right,
Speaker 1: what's next? The Bengals at the type We don't need
Speaker 1: much time on this. Bengals yet be even worse. Bengals
Speaker 1: at the Texans. Uh, Bengals have not played yet. The
Speaker 1: Bengals play the Steelers tonight. Steelers fourteen point favorites. Fourteen
Speaker 1: point favorites at the Bengals, who will be led by
Speaker 1: Ryan Finley tonight, so says Zack Taylor, that shouldn't change much.
Speaker 1: Houston loses to the Colts, and they do so on
Speaker 1: the final possession yet again. Yeah. Good. The previous game
Speaker 1: against the the Cults, it was a snap down six
Speaker 1: points they were they were gold to goos. Situation down
Speaker 1: six last, just over a minute left in the game.
Speaker 1: They snap it to Deshaun Watson. It was a little
Speaker 1: low and outside. He couldn't get the handle. The Culture
Speaker 1: cover and win this one. Oh my goodness, Kiki Khutai
Speaker 1: on the way to the house to tie it up,
Speaker 1: at least extra point away from tying, and it gets
Speaker 1: poked out by Darius Leonard and the Colts recover and
Speaker 1: they beat the Texans. Uh. Colts do twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 1: Amazing that both games between these two teams ended up
Speaker 1: that way. Deshaun Watson thirty three or forty one for
Speaker 1: three seventy three, two touchdowns not picks. He was sacked
Speaker 1: five times, though he always gets sacked a lot. Uh.
Speaker 1: David Johnson eleven for one oh six, eight of fourteen
Speaker 1: on third downs. The Texans were one of two on fourth.
Speaker 1: I mean it says more about the Colts. The Colts
Speaker 1: couldn't get them off the field. Chris four twenty five
Speaker 1: total yards for the Texans, but minus two in turnovers.
Speaker 1: Again the biggest one being the one I just described. Uh,
Speaker 1: no need to blue labor this. We haven't seen Cincinnati yet.
Speaker 1: But you know, usually I say in these situations, assuming
Speaker 1: there's no injuries, but like, I don't even know who
Speaker 1: the who the Bengals could have injured that would change
Speaker 1: would change this any hate to hate to be cras
Speaker 1: about it. I'll say Houston minus. I mean it's more
Speaker 1: than a touchdown. I'll say seven and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I came to seven half, it's really nine. I like
Speaker 1: the nine better. I don't think I made a proper
Speaker 1: adjustment for the Ryan Finley uh starting jobs Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: quarterback position. So uh, like I said, my numbers coming
Speaker 1: to seven half, but I they got to light. I
Speaker 1: like the nine better and that's when I'm gonna open.
Speaker 1: But again, why let's talk too much about this game? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: so far, so far, I think I like Arizona, and
Speaker 1: I like Arizona the most I think over San Francisco
Speaker 1: given all of San Francisco's vagabond ways, and I think
Speaker 1: I like Miami. If you're what was the Miami line
Speaker 1: you're putting up again two and a half. By the way,
Speaker 1: what the Raiders. I mean, other than that miracle win
Speaker 1: against the Jets, what have they lost like six out
Speaker 1: of last seven or something like that. Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: really didn't hit on that, and we talked about the Raiders.
Speaker 1: But there's another team head itself. I mean, they were
Speaker 1: they looked like a lock for the playoffs halfway through
Speaker 1: the year and they've they've really gone south. They did
Speaker 1: they did this exact same thing last year, exact same
Speaker 1: thing last year, just you know, good record midway through
Speaker 1: and then full collapse. Okay, let's do one more here,
Speaker 1: all right. How there's an interesting one. Colts at the Steelers.
Speaker 1: Colts at the Steelers. Steelers, we haven't seen either yet. Again,
Speaker 1: they play the Bengals tonight, fourteen point favorites on the road. Here,
Speaker 1: I will say, assuming no injuries right to the Steelers
Speaker 1: in any key positions. Indianapolis Beach Houston both into Houston games.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, one score closing minute, knocking at the door,
Speaker 1: Houston fumbling Coute losing it with nineteen seconds left yesterday,
Speaker 1: Ball goes into the end zone, Philip rivers through a
Speaker 1: tiebreaking touchdown past the Zach Pascal with one forty seven left,
Speaker 1: preceding that before Leonard forced Kiki Gutata fumble twenty win.
Speaker 1: Texans rallied from an early fourteen to nothing deficit to
Speaker 1: tie the score at twenty midway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: So the Colts. Here's the thing. A lot of people
Speaker 1: think the Colts defense is really, really good. I'm not
Speaker 1: so sure. Rivers ended up twenty two twenty eight yesterday
Speaker 1: for two touchdowns. No Pixie was sacked once, Chicobe were
Speaker 1: set one Kerry two yards. We know what that was.
Speaker 1: That was a snake. That's all you have to do.
Speaker 1: But the Coults were plus two in turnovers, as I mentioned.
Speaker 1: So Indianapolis jockeying for playoff position at Pittsburgh, which you
Speaker 1: could assume it's a get right game for the Steelers tonight,
Speaker 1: although we could have assumed that against the Rams about
Speaker 1: the Rams yesterday too, so you never know. But I
Speaker 1: will say Pittsburgh minus Here's the thing. Pittsburgh's got no
Speaker 1: running game and they've got no creativity on offense. Their
Speaker 1: defense is down a couple of men in of course
Speaker 1: Dupree in Bush, but still good. I mean, I'll say
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh minus three because I don't know what else to
Speaker 1: make it. Well, it's two and a half. Pittsburgh a favorite,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, and far of it is just
Speaker 1: me being me. I lowered the Steelers power rating like
Speaker 1: five points over the last couple of weeks. I mean,
Speaker 1: so I actually have the Colts a slight favorite, like
Speaker 1: a one point favorite. And I listen, I just don't
Speaker 1: like what I see out of the Steeler team. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Laethlisberger actually has had a hell of a year,
Speaker 1: but they never stretched the defense. Every pass is one
Speaker 1: of these short passes, and you know you had to
Speaker 1: pick six last week. You know, these guys sit on
Speaker 1: these routes. You know, they don't have any respect for
Speaker 1: anybody going long anymore. And then they can't run the
Speaker 1: ball at all either. Uh you know, is this a
Speaker 1: get right game for the Steelers nite? Let me, as
Speaker 1: a Steeler fan, let me say I hope so. Because
Speaker 1: they've got a couple of weeks to get some things
Speaker 1: straightened out. They better do it quick, and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure they have the personnel to actually do it. Um,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna open two and a half. You know,
Speaker 1: I think I see two and a half and some juice,
Speaker 1: But I did not like the Steelers a lot. They
Speaker 1: really show me something tonight, and no matter what they
Speaker 1: do tonight, they're playing the Bengals. You know, you can
Speaker 1: just kind of put that in your back pocket and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: it was just a bank. So I thought, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be that Swede tonight. Unless they really forget the running games,
Speaker 1: they need to throw the ball law and they just
Speaker 1: don't do it. Maybe I don't know, if Roethlisberger doesn't
Speaker 1: have time or what, but they just don't do it.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's his injury, Roethlisberger's elbow. I'm beginning to think
Speaker 1: that it's just at the end of the season, we're
Speaker 1: just he's just not able to do it anymore. Or
Speaker 1: a game he's throwing it plenty. But you know, Juju
Speaker 1: never I don't. I don't know if Juju ever became
Speaker 1: the receiver we thought he would be initially. Maybe, and
Speaker 1: it's certainly big Ben has not helped by all the
Speaker 1: drops right between Ebron and Deonte Johnson just drop fest Um.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm I'm with you all that. By the way,
Speaker 1: just to clarify some things, the Raiders were six and
Speaker 1: three after nine games this year, they've lost four or five.
Speaker 1: The only game they won the mirracle goal against the Jets.
Speaker 1: So there's the answer to that question. And uh, Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Chris chimes in earlier about what I was saying about
Speaker 1: how the the Patriots criminally overrated, it seems by the
Speaker 1: market every week. His comment was, metrics had Pats um
Speaker 1: Let's see, oh, they failed to account for the forty
Speaker 1: five to nothing nonsense win versus the Chargers, skewed numbers
Speaker 1: and lots of garbage stats by the Pats versus the
Speaker 1: Rams as well. That might have something to do with
Speaker 1: it um as well. So just him chiming in on that. Interesting.
Speaker 1: We're halfway through. Let's get one more. We'll start here,
Speaker 1: I'll give a guess and then we'll get to it
Speaker 1: after the break. Bears that the Jaguars Bears. That the
Speaker 1: Jaguars Bears. As we mentioned, they beat the Vikings. Uh
Speaker 1: and the Bears go to seven and seven and are
Speaker 1: legitimately now legitimately in the playoff picture outside looking in,
Speaker 1: but still in it. Strabiskie fifteen for two oh two,
Speaker 1: one touchdown, one pick sacked once. They never trailed against
Speaker 1: the Vikings. David Montgomery thirty two for one forty six
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That one forty six is a career high.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Chicago punt it only once in that game,
Speaker 1: on the opening possession. And then there's Jacksonville. Jacksonville. Now
Speaker 1: with their loss and the Jets win, they have the
Speaker 1: number one pick if they lose out, Trevor Lawrence ties
Speaker 1: longest losing streak, by the way, their thirteen loss in
Speaker 1: a row. Remember, they won the first game of the
Speaker 1: season against the Colts, knocked out fort of survivors. Haven't
Speaker 1: won since sixty one total yards in the first half
Speaker 1: versus the Ravens sixty one. Gardner minshow twenty two twenty
Speaker 1: six two touchdowns, he was not He did not throw
Speaker 1: a pick, but he was sacked five times. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Min shows any much better than Glennon is.
Speaker 1: Probably is. But Trevor Lawrence on the clock, I'll say Chicago.
Speaker 1: I haven't put much thought into these spreads and they
Speaker 1: haven't been that far off. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I'll say Chicago minus seven and a half. We'll take
Speaker 1: that to break and we'll continue with this second half
Speaker 1: of the week. Sixteens late with Chrissie Andrews right here
Speaker 1: on a numbers game at best these sports betting network. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're right on. There's even some sevens out there. Um,
Speaker 1: once again my numbers come to tan. I you know,
Speaker 1: I think, first of all, I think the Bears could
Speaker 1: Trabinsky could do well against the Jacksonville team. That again,
Speaker 1: I think they've just kind of given up. They know
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a whole new regime in there next year,
Speaker 1: so I don't see them playing with any intensity. And
Speaker 1: the Bears, like you said, they're they're suddenly in the
Speaker 1: playoffs hunt. But more than that, I mean every time
Speaker 1: teams step on the field on a Sunday, I mean
Speaker 1: they are, they're competitive. It's how how competitive are they
Speaker 1: during the course of the week in their preparation. Um,
Speaker 1: I like the higher number. I like I said, I
Speaker 1: see seven, so I'm gonna open seven half. That might
Speaker 1: take it off me if they do, God bless them.
Speaker 1: I think this should be higher. Um, Jacksonville legacid. They
Speaker 1: gave up and Drabinsky can play, you know, let's say
Speaker 1: nearly is expected when they drafted him against them inferior
Speaker 1: defense like this, so uh, you know, seven half it is.
Speaker 1: But if I see, Bears started out the season five
Speaker 1: and one, lost six in a row, and have won
Speaker 1: their last two against the Texans and the Vikings yesterday
Speaker 1: again a final score yesterday have thirty three to twenty seven,
Speaker 1: but never felt like the Vikings really had a shot,
Speaker 1: even though the final score was at the six points.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's do another. Okay, Carolina, you wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about against your Washington football team. Yes, the
Speaker 1: Washington football team towering over the standings of the NFC
Speaker 1: East towering. Uh, Carolina, let's start there. Carolina has lost
Speaker 1: eight of their last nine games, eight of nine. Uh,
Speaker 1: keep play against the Packers. Excuse me, yeah. Against the
Speaker 1: Packers on Saturday, they were trailing fourteen to three. In
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Carolina had first in goal at the
Speaker 1: one when Teddy Bridgewater tries leaping over the line in
Speaker 1: Green Bay's Chris Barnes not box the ball loose. Kevin
Speaker 1: King recovers the fumble, races for eight yards before more
Speaker 1: brought Dj Moore brings him down. But that was the moment,
Speaker 1: right He tried the Drew Brees wave thing and it
Speaker 1: got knocked out. He never got to the goal line.
Speaker 1: And got knocked out of his hands. And that really
Speaker 1: was everything in that game, because second half Carolina completely
Speaker 1: stifled the Packers. Packers were lucky to hold on, like
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was not happy about that win, lucky to
Speaker 1: hold on to the victory there. And for those of
Speaker 1: us who had teasers, that was more of a sweat
Speaker 1: than we wanted on the Packers. But here's the deal
Speaker 1: that I wanted to talk about. By the way, Bridgewater
Speaker 1: twenty one of thirty five for two fifty eight, no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was sack three times four for twenty
Speaker 1: six on the ground with a touchdown, but again that
Speaker 1: fumble loss. They outscored Green Bay thirteen to three and
Speaker 1: out gained them two d fourteen to forty nine. In
Speaker 1: the second half. They hold the Packers to forty nine
Speaker 1: second half yards. DJ Moore six for one thirty one
Speaker 1: thirty one. Here's what I wanted to talk about, Matt rule.
Speaker 1: Down twenty four to thirteen to seventeen left with one
Speaker 1: time out left in the game. Bridgewater too more deep
Speaker 1: pass forty yard play first and ten at the green
Speaker 1: Bay fifteen with two oh four left, and Matt rule,
Speaker 1: And I loved this move elects to kick the field goal, Chris,
Speaker 1: two oh four left. They just hit a big play
Speaker 1: there down the leven and he says, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't care that we're fifteen yards away from the
Speaker 1: end zone. Get out there. Joey's like kicked the thirty
Speaker 1: three yard or he did. He made then the subsequent
Speaker 1: kick through the end zone, still north of two minutes
Speaker 1: to oh four left, and they got a shot. By
Speaker 1: the way, it's Gil Alexander, It's Chris Andrews. This is
Speaker 1: guessing lines week sixteen of the National Football League right
Speaker 1: here on Visa in the Sports Betting Network on a
Speaker 1: numbers game. As we look back on the past weekend,
Speaker 1: look forward to the next and try to extract some
Speaker 1: value your first look at the upcoming week's lines, try
Speaker 1: to handicap and uh lay down some bets here on
Speaker 1: first impressions. So in that of doing the conventional thing
Speaker 1: that most coaches do, which is, all right, we're this
Speaker 1: close to the end zone, let's get the touchdown first,
Speaker 1: You'll see some coaches now do the Madden thing. If
Speaker 1: you've played mad and long enough, Oh, let's kick the
Speaker 1: field goal first, because then you know we'll have more
Speaker 1: time on the clock. Matt Rule did it earlier than
Speaker 1: I've ever seen anybody do it before, and he was
Speaker 1: really sharp on it because he knew, he goes, I've
Speaker 1: only got one time out left. I need to use
Speaker 1: this two minute warning to my advantage. I need that
Speaker 1: stoppage of the plot. Ye, and it was I thought
Speaker 1: that right. He played it right, and they and the
Speaker 1: defense did hold them and they were able to get
Speaker 1: the ball back. It didn't end up matriculating the ball
Speaker 1: down the field, but at least the strategy was correct.
Speaker 1: Because I saw a lot of people on Twitter saying,
Speaker 1: I can't believe he did that. It was absolutely the
Speaker 1: right thing to do. You thought that the key, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did. He did that with two oh four. I
Speaker 1: think he knew he needed that extra time out that
Speaker 1: he was gonna get with a two minute warning because
Speaker 1: he didn't have one. Uh listen, I know they played
Speaker 1: terrible in the last couple of weeks, but they got
Speaker 1: the right guy. I think it. Coach. You know, they
Speaker 1: need a lot of help up and down that roster,
Speaker 1: but they got the right guy. Coach. I think he's
Speaker 1: going to be successful in this league. I really do.
Speaker 1: That was a bold move on his part that he
Speaker 1: probably knew he was gonna get criticized for. Still needed
Speaker 1: a miracle to pull out to win, but that gave
Speaker 1: him the best chance of winning that game. And by
Speaker 1: the way, that was great for US. Eight was a
Speaker 1: great number. Four, a lot better than eleven. It was
Speaker 1: really applauding that division. The Joey Slive field goal significant
Speaker 1: to some and that's why betters were some betters were
Speaker 1: losing their minds. There was absolutely the right football thing
Speaker 1: to do and good for Matt rule. And here is
Speaker 1: the breaking news this morning. The Panthers have fired their
Speaker 1: gm UH. They fired they they fired their longtime gm
Speaker 1: UH Marty Hernie, who's responsible for getting them do a
Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls in the past. UH. Panther's owner
Speaker 1: David Tepper said that after recent conversations with Hernie about
Speaker 1: the structure of the team's football operations became clear they
Speaker 1: had some different ideas. Temper was careful to say he
Speaker 1: respected Hernie's traditional approach but hopes to blend more of
Speaker 1: a data driven process into the football operation that according
Speaker 1: to Panthers dot Com, I think sometimes you just need
Speaker 1: to start a restart, a refresh Tepper said, we did
Speaker 1: it last year. On the coaching side, maybe you could
Speaker 1: say it should have been done before. On the GM side,
Speaker 1: maybe it should have been I'm sure people may say
Speaker 1: that or otherwise on both sides. I think it's just
Speaker 1: time on both sides do that. It just seems like
Speaker 1: the right time to move forward. But here's the here's
Speaker 1: the money quote. I think you guys just had this
Speaker 1: up on the screen at Visa dot Com. This is
Speaker 1: Temper the owner talking quote. Ian Rappaport also had this
Speaker 1: at rap Sheet this morning. You look at successful organization
Speaker 1: and there's a organizations and there's a certain alignment between
Speaker 1: the head coach and the GM. To think that you
Speaker 1: can do that without some sort of alignment as nuts.
Speaker 1: So to not have a head coach with some input,
Speaker 1: with some input into that rather is stupid. Okay, He
Speaker 1: adds at the end, I love when people finish their
Speaker 1: sentences by going okay, wow. So that's there's a vote
Speaker 1: of confidence for rule if I've ever heard one, but
Speaker 1: Marty Hernie, I mean a GM that took them to
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls. Dunezo in Carolina this morning, anyway, who
Speaker 1: are there playing Washington again? That's right, Washington, Yes, Washington
Speaker 1: sixth and a Washington wins out, they go to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Got news for you. Washington loses to Seattle yesterday. Four
Speaker 1: game winning streak was snapped, but really it came down
Speaker 1: to the wire in the end, only a fIF win
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Carlos Dunlop Dunlaps shaking off a lingering
Speaker 1: foot injury, sacking Dwayne Haskins to uh clinch the win
Speaker 1: that clinched the Seahawks the playoff berth by the way.
Speaker 1: But Washington the first seven possessions of this game with
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins at quarterback three points, two turnovers, first seven possessions.
Speaker 1: Haskins ended up throwing the ball fifty five time him
Speaker 1: though he was thirty eight of fifty five for two
Speaker 1: ninety five, one touchdown, two picks. He was sacked four times.
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas thirteen catches for one oh one, Terry McLaurin
Speaker 1: seven for seventy seven, Washington nine of fifteen on third downs.
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins actually, you know he didn't do Listen, He's
Speaker 1: not scaring anybody, but he wasn't terribly horrific yesterday. Let's
Speaker 1: put it that way. How about that wasn't terribly horrific.
Speaker 1: They were using his college playbooks something like he was
Speaker 1: using the place from college. He wasn't good, but he
Speaker 1: wasn't terribly horrific. Be my words. Rob Rivera said that
Speaker 1: Alex Smith will start next week if healthy. All that said,
Speaker 1: I'll say, Washington buy a field goal, Washington minus three,
Speaker 1: and I ate it three. It's two and two and
Speaker 1: a half mostly two, but I'm open two and a
Speaker 1: half again. If if I see a three pop up,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go there, I think Alex Smith. Yeah, fifty
Speaker 1: five times seems like quite a bit. The defense still good,
Speaker 1: you know, Carolina, Like I said, they like Matt Rule,
Speaker 1: I like, you know, I've been a Teddy Bridgewater fan
Speaker 1: from day one. But there's there's certainly not playing well.
Speaker 1: I thought this number should be a legitimate three. It's not.
Speaker 1: It's two, two and two and a half. Right now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open on the high side two and a half. Okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: By the way, these lines seem pretty easy to make
Speaker 1: this week. That like, you can't be that far off
Speaker 1: on these What's next? It was gonna be interesting. Giants
Speaker 1: at the Ravens and there's really no lines out there,
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming it's because of the possibility of Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones coming back. So not that much to talking about
Speaker 1: as far as like the lines in this game. But
Speaker 1: it's the Giants and the Ravens. Does that matter if
Speaker 1: it's Daniel Jones or Cool McCoy to the line, Well,
Speaker 1: apparently it does. That's so a lot of people, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. Giants first NFL team and this game
Speaker 1: against the Browns last night. A lot of people. This
Speaker 1: is one of these Sunday night games where you're all
Speaker 1: footballed out. I know. First for those of us who
Speaker 1: had the RAMS and Survivor for instance, it like I,
Speaker 1: I just don't have it in me anymore. But of
Speaker 1: course I had this game on this entire game last night.
Speaker 1: The Giants and the Browns came down to two first
Speaker 1: half decisions. For the Giants. Quite frankly, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it goes their way if they win this anyway,
Speaker 1: but it certainly wasn't going to go their way once
Speaker 1: these two things happened. They're the first NFL team. The
Speaker 1: Giants are first NFL team with two first half turnovers
Speaker 1: on downs inside the red zone since two thousand and six.
Speaker 1: Think about that. Fourteen years it's been since a team
Speaker 1: did what the Giants did last night. Namely, they had
Speaker 1: the ball at the eight yard line, and they had
Speaker 1: the ball at the five yard line twice in the
Speaker 1: first half. The one at the eight yard line, they
Speaker 1: went into this funky little formation where they you know,
Speaker 1: it could have worked actually because Graham Gano apparently was
Speaker 1: open in the end zone, but Riley Dixon instead looked
Speaker 1: at Nick Gates is center, and he threw it high
Speaker 1: and incomplete, the Gates turning the ball over on downs
Speaker 1: and again Gano was wide open. But it was one
Speaker 1: of these places where as soon as they lined up,
Speaker 1: you're like, what are they doing? You know, it was
Speaker 1: like before the play even was running, You're like, this
Speaker 1: is not gonna work. Colt McCoy ended up nineteen of
Speaker 1: thirty one for two twenty one, no touchdowns, no picks
Speaker 1: to be sacking ones. The Giants only ended up with
Speaker 1: fourteen first downs behind Freddie Kitchens. They put up just
Speaker 1: six points against the defense. Against the defense that had
Speaker 1: given up eighty points in the past two games, they
Speaker 1: could only manage six. Look, I get it, you're still
Speaker 1: in the NFC East race, and you could have if
Speaker 1: if you had tied Washington, you have the tiebreaker and
Speaker 1: you'd be atop the NFC East. But I just I
Speaker 1: don't know. That first one was weird. The second time
Speaker 1: they decided to kick a field goal, and then the
Speaker 1: third time, I'm like, I don't know what's going on here. Baltimore.
Speaker 1: They crushed yesterday, crushed Jacksonville. They built a twenty six
Speaker 1: point halftime lead roll to a forty two seven win.
Speaker 1: Lamar seventeen of twenty two for two forty three, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick, He was sacked. Ones ten of thirty five
Speaker 1: on the ground for a touchdown, Ravens eight of twelve
Speaker 1: on third down, one of two on fourth four nine
Speaker 1: total yards. Uh, you say there's no line. I would
Speaker 1: say it's north of ten, though, I'd say ten and
Speaker 1: a half on the Ravens. That's what I would That's
Speaker 1: exactly what I made it ten and a half, no difference,
Speaker 1: you know in my numbers between McCoy and Jones. So,
Speaker 1: uh that that's exactly what I made. And I think
Speaker 1: it will open somewhere a while there. Okay, So we
Speaker 1: have one Friday game, Christmas Day and we have three
Speaker 1: Saturday games. How many early and late do we have? Jason,
Speaker 1: it's three afternoon games. I believe seven early games makes sense?
Speaker 1: Seven early, three late. Uh, let's do one more. Okay,
Speaker 1: We've got the Falcons at the Chiefs. Falcons at the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: We talked about, we talked about both of these days.
Speaker 1: Falcons losing two again, squandering to seventeen point leads against
Speaker 1: the Bucks yesterday. Mattie Ice thirty four forty nine three
Speaker 1: fifty six, three touchdowns, Doe Pixie was sacked three times,
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley ten for one sixty three at a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Atlanta failed to pick up a first down on four
Speaker 1: are of its last five possessions, the only exception being
Speaker 1: a drive that ended with a young Hay Coup's fifty
Speaker 1: two yard or with eight twenty two remaining that gave
Speaker 1: the Falcons twenty four lead, but they end up losing
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty seven. It didn't hold up. They
Speaker 1: already the Falcons had become the first team in NFL
Speaker 1: history to blow fourth quarter leads, remember of at least
Speaker 1: fifteen points in two straight games. Now this so it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It was Dan Quinn Raheem Morris. A super Bowl,
Speaker 1: not a super Bowl. It's just you Atlanta Falcons um
Speaker 1: Kansas City nine game winning streak now Patrick Mahomes twenty
Speaker 1: six forty six for two fifty four three touchdowns, wasn't
Speaker 1: I didn't throw a pick with sacked four times on
Speaker 1: the season, thirty six touchdowns and five picks, and the
Speaker 1: Chiefs can now clinch the number one seed in the
Speaker 1: a f C with the win in the Pittsburgh loss.
Speaker 1: Bad news for the Chiefs yesterday, well, it was a
Speaker 1: rookie running back Clyde Edwards Hilaire needed help to the
Speaker 1: locker room in the fourth quarter uh not putting any
Speaker 1: pressure on his left leg, but Andy Reid said that
Speaker 1: X rays were negative. Edwards Hilaire requires more evaluation today.
Speaker 1: High ankle sprain. I saw across the ticker. That's never fun.
Speaker 1: Could be worse, but that's never fun. At the end
Speaker 1: of the season, it'll be tough. Yeah, it'll be tough
Speaker 1: with yeah, this season dwindling and the playoffs looming, so
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on that. But the Chiefs do
Speaker 1: end winning it again thirty thirty two to twenty nine
Speaker 1: against the Saints in a game where the box score. Statistically,
Speaker 1: they just absolutely destroyed the Saints. We talked about it
Speaker 1: earlier and yet only one by three. And and as
Speaker 1: Chris Felika pointed out in text to us, Chrissie could
Speaker 1: have been worse. When they were up fourteen to seven.
Speaker 1: That fumble on the pup return went went into the
Speaker 1: end zone. The Saints should have landed on it, and
Speaker 1: it scored it out for a safety, so it was
Speaker 1: fourteen to nine instead of fourteen to fourteen at that point.
Speaker 1: Saints didn't take a lead briefly at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the second half, sixteen to was it fifteen to fourteen?
Speaker 1: I believe so, yeah, just so we're But look, I've
Speaker 1: been betting the Chiefs a FC futures and Super Bowl
Speaker 1: futures all year, just quietly betting them everyw I just
Speaker 1: they're head and shoulders above every team to me. And
Speaker 1: that offense is unstoppable, and it's better. They're better this
Speaker 1: year than I think they were last year when they
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. I'll say Chiefs by ten here, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's ten and ten and a half numbers
Speaker 1: only come to nine. But I gotta tell you it's
Speaker 1: I always made a joke that an annual rite a
Speaker 1: fall for me was to overrate Oklahoma and college football.
Speaker 1: Another annual rate of fall is to overrate the Falcons. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do it all that. I ain't cover a lot
Speaker 1: of numbers, and they might cover here, and probably you
Speaker 1: never have a chance to win a game. It's like
Speaker 1: that my numbers come to nine, but I see ten
Speaker 1: and ten and a half and I like that better.
Speaker 1: I like that better than my own numbers. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open a ten and a half. Uh. If you're
Speaker 1: a Falcon or a Falcon fan, you just have to
Speaker 1: be talking in your South America after you know what
Speaker 1: what they've done in the last couple of years, just
Speaker 1: you know, atrocious. So anyway, tennant ass me props suggestion, Christie.
Speaker 1: I know how much you love when I give prop suggestions,
Speaker 1: especially when they do them live on air. I know
Speaker 1: how much that tickles you. Uh, chiefs versus the field?
Speaker 1: Right now? Chiefs? Or is everybody else? To win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? What would what would people bet on the field? Like,
Speaker 1: what number would it take to bet on the field?
Speaker 1: Because there they are in the driver's seat for the
Speaker 1: number one seed, right and the buy so that's already
Speaker 1: an advantage, and then the super Bowl is is not
Speaker 1: It's not a cold weather situation. So they're going to
Speaker 1: be the favorite in the super Bowl no matter who
Speaker 1: they play. What do you think, Well, I'm trying to think, well, now,
Speaker 1: let me let me think it's true you're gonna be cold. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think right now the uh you know,
Speaker 1: I had them like plus two dollars when the super
Speaker 1: Bowl going into this weekend. Um, you know, so I
Speaker 1: think I think that's probably a little high. Uh. Let's
Speaker 1: so let's say it's like plus one. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go look through my futures, you know, wants to
Speaker 1: show into So if it's plus one eighty, you know,
Speaker 1: you need a wide spread on something like that. So
Speaker 1: minus probably like minus two twenty minus two again, you know,
Speaker 1: the field would be minus two twenty or something like that.
Speaker 1: But don't worry. I mean there's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: out there, I know who were you know, maysayers, and
Speaker 1: it might lay a price like that, but I think
Speaker 1: probably pretty close to with that, A two way price
Speaker 1: would be something like that. The way that you caught
Speaker 1: me cold to look at a little more terrible terrible
Speaker 1: of me. I apologized, and then m v P Jason
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes versus Aaron Rodgers, like, how do you decide this?
Speaker 1: At this point? Mahome is a big favorite, though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just to toss up. I mean, who's
Speaker 1: nobody knows what the criteria is. To me, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: feels more valuable if they didn't have him. I felt
Speaker 1: like a backup quarterback could probably do something with the chief.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers openly stumping about the meaning of the word
Speaker 1: valuable in m v P. Patrick Mahomes say, saying he
Speaker 1: doesn't pay attention to it. Aaron Rodgers really wants a
Speaker 1: third m v P. I love the narrative of him
Speaker 1: getting one this year. He really wants a third m
Speaker 1: v P. And Mahomes is like, I got my whole career.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Um. By the way, I heard like
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman. I was in the car on Saturday. He
Speaker 1: was talking about how valuable doesn't mean valuable, valuable means best,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, it done, Absolutely no, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: He like did a whole rant on. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: actually it done. He's got a sentiment diction. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very interesting, so we'll see anyway. Sorry to spring that
Speaker 1: on you, Chrissy, and my apologies. Um okay, the Rams
Speaker 1: at the sea Hawks. Rams at the Seahawks, so I
Speaker 1: which I thought we were done talking about this team.
Speaker 1: Apparently not. Um Rams. I don't know if you heard this,
Speaker 1: but they lost to the Jets yesterday. The Rams were
Speaker 1: total no show. So again, um, there was never a
Speaker 1: moment where I was not going to pick the Rams,
Speaker 1: nor was there a moment where I thought we had
Speaker 1: any shot of losing this. But you know, the Rams
Speaker 1: didn't show up in the first half, and that Jared
Speaker 1: Goff face was out there. Uh. Five points in the
Speaker 1: first half of the Rams, five points, one of which
Speaker 1: was blocked, a pick, a total of three points and
Speaker 1: a total of ninety seven yards in the first half
Speaker 1: of the Rams again, five points, one block to pick,
Speaker 1: three points in ninety seven yards. Jared Goff was two
Speaker 1: thirty four in the game for two oh nine, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sacked three times. This was Goff's
Speaker 1: comment after the game, quote, we have a game coming
Speaker 1: up next week that we're going to have to win anyways,
Speaker 1: and I think we know that unquote well, that's that's
Speaker 1: not very comfortable. Leader. That's about as close to a
Speaker 1: guy saying yeah, we didn't care as anything I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: The Ram were two of eleven on third downs, zero
Speaker 1: for one on four and as Jared Goff points out,
Speaker 1: they can win the NFC West with wins in their
Speaker 1: last two games, so what did they care? But again,
Speaker 1: they had their shots and still couldn't get it done.
Speaker 1: A touchdown that was called back by a penalty, a
Speaker 1: punt return that looked like it was going to the
Speaker 1: house but instead of cutting out, Webster cut in and
Speaker 1: the punter got him. Didn't try a fifty five yard
Speaker 1: to tie it. Anyway, you take your lumps. All sixteen
Speaker 1: of us in the Survivor and circus survivor who had
Speaker 1: the Rams correctly took the Rams. We had planned for
Speaker 1: it the whole time. Nothing you can do. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: just lose sixty left. Uh Seattle. They clinched a playoff
Speaker 1: birth of the ninth time in eleven seasons under Pete
Speaker 1: Carroll yesterday. They've held four straight opponents to seventeen points
Speaker 1: or fewer. Russell Wilson eighteen of twenty seven for one
Speaker 1: twenty one against that Washington defense man. That Washington defense
Speaker 1: is good. One touchdown, one pick, was not sacked, only
Speaker 1: sixteen first downs for the Seahawks and victory. That's all
Speaker 1: you have to do against Dayne Haskins. That's all you
Speaker 1: have to do. So it's the Rams at Seattle, the
Speaker 1: nine and five Rams against the ten and four Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Rams trying to win out to win the NFC West.
Speaker 1: Seahawks win this, they win the NFC West. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna be three point favorites. I'll say two and a
Speaker 1: half Seahawks minus two and a half. Yeah, if then
Speaker 1: you were from one and a half to two and
Speaker 1: a half, one and has probably a little like although
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you my numbers come to pick them
Speaker 1: on this game, but I think I am going to
Speaker 1: use the Seahawks to uh, you know. I always say,
Speaker 1: like when teams get out there on Sunday, every individual
Speaker 1: guy he's going to compete. That's just their nature. That's
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. Face with an opponent right on it.
Speaker 1: You're going to compete. What are they doing on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday? That and that this is a perfect example.
Speaker 1: The coach pretty much admitted it they did not do
Speaker 1: their preparation the way they should have against any kind
Speaker 1: of a viable opponent, and it showed on Sunday. Well,
Speaker 1: I think they will do their prep work this week.
Speaker 1: I know they will. Uh, there's a big game for them.
Speaker 1: I kind of like the Rams a little bit in
Speaker 1: this spot. I just don't think they could be nearly
Speaker 1: as bad as what they showed on last Sunday yesterday.
Speaker 1: And I still have big questions about the Seahawks team.
Speaker 1: I just I don't think they're all that good. Um,
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm gonna open right in the middle two,
Speaker 1: but because I see a lot of two and a
Speaker 1: half out there. But I kind of like the Rams
Speaker 1: a little bitness. If this game gets the three, I
Speaker 1: would definitely be on the Rams. Okay. The Eagles at
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Eagles at the Cowboys. Eagles come from sixteen
Speaker 1: down to tie up against the Cardinals yesterday, but lose
Speaker 1: by a touchdown. Great play from Kyler Murray to DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: Great catch by DeAndre Hopkins to seal the deal, But
Speaker 1: the Eagles had their chances. Jalen Hurts twenty four or
Speaker 1: forty four for three thirty eight three touchdowns, no picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked six times, couldn't leave the Eagles any
Speaker 1: points on their last two offensive drives. Philly made it
Speaker 1: to the cardinals thirty one yard line on the final
Speaker 1: drive and then Hurts threw two passes into the end
Speaker 1: zone on the final two plays, but they fell incomplete.
Speaker 1: They were plus three in turnovers and lost. That's the killer,
Speaker 1: by the way, great move by Quez Watkins on Philly's
Speaker 1: first touchdown uh in the in the first half of
Speaker 1: that game was killer. Um. Dallas beats the Niners. Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton nineteen of thirty three for two oh nine, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was sacked two times. Pollard hundred thirty
Speaker 1: two yards for scrimmage, two touchdowns on the ground. Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb five catches for eighty five yards, also had a
Speaker 1: kickoff return for a touchdown on the on side kick
Speaker 1: at the end, he took it to the house fielded
Speaker 1: it took it to the to the end zone. Fifteen
Speaker 1: total first downs for the Cowboys. That's a fifteen only
Speaker 1: two ninety one total yards and victory. As I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: plus four in turnovers. That's all you need. Four of
Speaker 1: the seven Dallas schools were set up by those turnovers
Speaker 1: from the Niners. Cowboys have to win both against Philly
Speaker 1: and the Giants, while Washington has to lose twice for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to win the NFC East once again, Washington
Speaker 1: at six and eight, both Dallas and the Giants at
Speaker 1: five and nine. The Eagles still alive at four nine
Speaker 1: and one, a game and a half back the heavily
Speaker 1: contested FC East. I'll say Philly minus three. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hear high. It's um anywhere. I even see as low
Speaker 1: as one with some juice on the save it, and
Speaker 1: as high as let me say, there was a two
Speaker 1: and a half. I think it's gone. So it's one's
Speaker 1: one an alf two. I like one and a half.
Speaker 1: My numbers came to pick him in this game, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's weird how you're just talking about turnovers
Speaker 1: Eagles had. They were plus three and turnover as you said,
Speaker 1: right plus Eagles were plus three, yeah, yeah, plus rein lost.
Speaker 1: Cowboys were plus four. I think, yeah, yeah, So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, there's I'm not sure what the take out
Speaker 1: of that, you know, but I thought pick him was
Speaker 1: a little closer to what I would like. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. I mean, he played well. There's no doubt
Speaker 1: he looks like the guy going forward. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think Carson Wentz to start packing his bags right now.
Speaker 1: But I'm but I'm want to go crazy over this
Speaker 1: Eagle team. Yet I thought picked him was a good number.
Speaker 1: So I'll open one and a half just because I
Speaker 1: see it. I see a lot of two's out there,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna open one and a half. And if
Speaker 1: they beat me up, they beat me up. But I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to go any higher than that right now
Speaker 1: on this team elimination game Eagles and Cowboys. All right,
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Okay, it's a good one. The Titans at
Speaker 1: the Packers definitely more definitely better games in week sixteen
Speaker 1: than we're a week fifteen, that's for sure. Ten and
Speaker 1: four Titans, a lettern and three Packers. Tennessee can clinch
Speaker 1: the ANFC South with a win in in Indianapolis lost.
Speaker 1: Remember the Colts play the Steelers. The Tennessee Titans. E
Speaker 1: texted last night and the only reason I knew the
Speaker 1: answer to this because I had been doing research for
Speaker 1: this show this morning show prep and he said quick
Speaker 1: without looking right now, tell me who has scored the
Speaker 1: most points in the NFL this year? What team? And
Speaker 1: because I had done the research, I guessed properly. I
Speaker 1: go Tennessee. By any chance, he goes yes, by one
Speaker 1: point over Kansas City, by two points over Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Tennessee thirty plus points five straight games. Fifth team in
Speaker 1: NFL history with five straight games, piling up at least
Speaker 1: four hundred twenty yards total offense and thirty points. Tannehill
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Lions, and the Lions defense is a sieve.
Speaker 1: Seven for two seventy three, three touchdown passes, no uh,
Speaker 1: no sack, excuse me, no picks, one sack, three for
Speaker 1: twenty one on the ground with two touchdowns, career high
Speaker 1: five touchdowns passing in running for Tannehill. But Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: is the is the engine, carries on seven yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Corey Davis four catches for one ten in
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The tight were ten of thirteen on third downs,
Speaker 1: even though they allowed seven of ten on third downs themselves.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. The Lions defense is a sieve, but
Speaker 1: the Titans Achilles is definitely their own defense. But four
Speaker 1: hundred sixty three total yards of offense. They were plus
Speaker 1: three in turnovers against the Lions. And then there's Green Bay,
Speaker 1: who I mentioned great teaser leg on Saturday. Came through
Speaker 1: in the end, but it was more of a sweat
Speaker 1: than we wanted. They reached the end zone on their
Speaker 1: first three series against the Panthers before hanging on to
Speaker 1: beat them twenty four to sixteen. They won their fourth
Speaker 1: straight despite getting out scored thirteen to three and out
Speaker 1: gained two hundred fourteen to forty nine in the second half.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not happy about it. He was twenty of
Speaker 1: twenty nine for one forty three one touchdown. Note Pixy
Speaker 1: was sacked five times five or twenty six on the
Speaker 1: ground with a touchdown season low a hundred forty three yards.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones twenty one forty five and a touchdown. Packers
Speaker 1: own a tiebreaker over the Saints after beating the Saints
Speaker 1: remember back in September thirty seven to thirty. So the
Speaker 1: Packers win here and uh it is their number one
Speaker 1: seed to be had because they will win all tiebreakers
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints. So the Packers just need
Speaker 1: one more win here down the stretch and it is
Speaker 1: theirs um all that said, I'll say Green Bay minus
Speaker 1: because of that Tennessee defense. I'll say Green Bay minus
Speaker 1: four and a half. Yeah, you're a little high. It's
Speaker 1: three and a half. I see one three out there
Speaker 1: with a lot of juice. I'm the favorite. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: my members only come to three, but I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and use three and a half there also,
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess with the three three and
Speaker 1: a half stuff on it someday and I came that,
Speaker 1: I basically gonna be heavily bet um. I would say
Speaker 1: this though about the Titans. I think they've been a
Speaker 1: little underrated all year. Even if you go back to
Speaker 1: the preseason, you know, their their season wind total was like,
Speaker 1: you know, eight or eight and a half something like that.
Speaker 1: I remember, just seeing their obvious to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I thought, we're just inordinately high. I remember saying that
Speaker 1: I didn't believe that that was the correct evaluation, since
Speaker 1: I tried to be on their side quite a bit
Speaker 1: this year, and I managed to do that. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: I listen, I'm throwing out that Green Bay game. I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened the second half. I think the
Speaker 1: Green Bay first half was much more indicative of what
Speaker 1: this team really is made up. So I'm gonna talks
Speaker 1: about that. So it's nothing against Green Bay. But I
Speaker 1: just think the Titans, you know, a little underrated, and
Speaker 1: like he had a great question there, I don't think
Speaker 1: maybe people would say the Titans. I certainly wouldn't have
Speaker 1: had the most points this year, so I think they're
Speaker 1: a tad underrated. I like three a little better, but
Speaker 1: I am an open three and a half. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess with that three three and
Speaker 1: a half, especially after yesterday getting quawbered on that Kansas
Speaker 1: City New Orleans game. But I think the Titans I
Speaker 1: kind of like them in this spot a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I only do the answer to that because I had
Speaker 1: done research and I had seen no. Five straight games
Speaker 1: with thirty plus points. Maybe it's the Titans. That's why
Speaker 1: he's asking, Um, so I got there. I've had the Titans.
Speaker 1: We do top ten rankings on Primetime Action every week.
Speaker 1: I've had the Titans in my top six the whole
Speaker 1: way through, just because I you know, I'll put it
Speaker 1: this way. I've asked the question in recent weeks to
Speaker 1: people who who's the team that the Chiefs if you
Speaker 1: gave them truth serum, Who's the team they'd least like
Speaker 1: to play in the a f C playoffs? I said Baltimore,
Speaker 1: because if Baltimore gets ahead, they've got that running game,
Speaker 1: and they've got Lamar Jackson, who could always make a
Speaker 1: mess of any player or make every play that is
Speaker 1: a mess into something great. Matt Brown, who's my co
Speaker 1: host on Primetime Action, he says it's the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: I think most people would say the Buffalo Bills. I
Speaker 1: asked that of Aaron Shots from football outsiders. He said
Speaker 1: the Titans, which was interesting too, So you get a
Speaker 1: different answer from different people. All Right, Monday Night, the
Speaker 1: Bills at the Patriots. Bills at the Patriots Bills, a
Speaker 1: f C East champions for the first time since end
Speaker 1: in New England's eleven year rain atop the division. Josh
Speaker 1: Allen wasn't even born. Yeah, wouldn't even be born. He
Speaker 1: was twenty eight of forty against the Broncos on Saturday
Speaker 1: for three d fifty nine yards, two touchdowns, no pis
Speaker 1: sacked once. Three carries for thirty three yards and two
Speaker 1: touchdowns against a team that bypassed him in the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: despite his starring just up the uh, up the uh.
Speaker 1: How can we say this the Midwest at Wyoming, just
Speaker 1: two and a half hours north of Denver. Stefon digs
Speaker 1: eleven for one forty seven Cole Beasley eight for one twelve.
Speaker 1: I was filling up a statute. Twenty nine first downs
Speaker 1: for the Bills in that game, nine of thirteen on
Speaker 1: third downs they had five hundred and thirty four total
Speaker 1: yards crushed them. And then there's New England. New England's
Speaker 1: run of it. Their NFL record eleven straight playoff appearances
Speaker 1: comes to an end with their loss to the Dolphins
Speaker 1: by ten snaps their streak of nineteen straight winning seasons.
Speaker 1: They'll finish at five hundred or worse for the first
Speaker 1: time since two thousands, a year they drafted Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: They fall one year short of matching the Cowboys NFL
Speaker 1: record of twenty consecutive winning seasons. Congratulations of the Patriots,
Speaker 1: what a run it was. It comes to an end.
Speaker 1: Contrast this with Matt Rule and the Panthers, as we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in their decision making. At the end
Speaker 1: of that game against the Path against the Packers, fourth
Speaker 1: and two at the Miami twenty two down ten with
Speaker 1: one fourteen left for the Patriots, two time outs left.
Speaker 1: New England doesn't kick the field goal, gets sacked. Ball
Speaker 1: game that cost people New England teasers. So Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: played it completely differently, and I would say kind of curiously.
Speaker 1: Newton seventeen seven for two oh nine, no touchdowns, no
Speaker 1: picksack three times, Chkobe Meyers seven for one eleven. There
Speaker 1: were two of nine on third downs, they were over
Speaker 1: one on fourth down. I will never understand the move
Speaker 1: on the Patriots. I'll say the Bill's minds seven and
Speaker 1: a half. You know, that's exactly what I made. Seven
Speaker 1: and a half. But it's all seven. Um, I don't
Speaker 1: I see one seven and a half with a time
Speaker 1: of juice on the dog. So I'm gonna open seven.
Speaker 1: But this is a curious game for uh the what's
Speaker 1: the emotional level going to be? You know the Bills
Speaker 1: one that won the the division, the Patriots that they
Speaker 1: just pack it into the Bills. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: the Bills packet and they want to go up to
Speaker 1: beat New England. But you know, I think New England
Speaker 1: has to know your cam probably not gonna be back
Speaker 1: next year. I don't know who else is going to
Speaker 1: be gone, probably a whole bunch of them, so I
Speaker 1: don't know that. I think it's an interesting emotional game.
Speaker 1: And you talk about betting, m uh, you know pre
Speaker 1: flopper in game this I think would be an in
Speaker 1: game bet if you're of that hilk. But I'm an
Speaker 1: open seven. We'll see where we go from there. So
Speaker 1: I think I like Miami and Arizona best. But this
Speaker 1: slim pickings to me. What about you, Crizzy, that's the
Speaker 1: exact thing too. I got marked on my sheet Arizona
Speaker 1: in Miami and and I'm sure by the end of
Speaker 1: the week, I'll probably have ten plays I like right now.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I will too, and all all kinds of strategies.
Speaker 1: That's why we do that, because we love it. It's
Speaker 1: in our d n A. I'm still getting around that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chrissy, appreciate it. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 1: My pleasure you doing, my friend. Good luck to all
Speaker 1: of you. First look at Week sixteen lines. Maybe you
Speaker 1: go with these instincts. I hope you played along. Good
Speaker 1: luck from all of us at decent these sports betting
Speaker 1: that way,
