It takes some long shots. 37 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: You're gonna have some ups and down. So we'll get 38 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: to somewhere long shots today, but kitchen sank all is 39 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: a favorite of mine. 40 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: In week three, Yeah, and now. 41 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: We're going to get into some picks here. We're gonna 42 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: get your first pick and obviously we're gonna be talking 43 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: about maybe a team that potentially doesn't never win you. 44 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 45 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: So last week on here we did the kitchen We 46 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: did the own two teams or was nine and I 47 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: kind of rank them on from one to nine. Who 48 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: fits the trend best on the Kitchen Sink trends. I 49 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: know your articles up each week with all the various 50 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: trends and everything. Top five Kitchen Sink teams by How 51 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: I rated them, Rams, Ravens, Giants, Colts, Panthers, All five 52 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: of them covered, all five to one outright on Sunday. 53 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: It was a big Sunday for underdogs. It's been just 54 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: a big year for underdogs. Sunday alone, Kitchen sing teams 55 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: were six and one against the spread and straight up 56 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: we had double digit wins by six and a half, 57 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: six and a half and seven and a half point underdogs. 58 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: So that's a spot I'm kind of looking at here 59 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: because with all those teams winning, we are now down 60 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: to only three teams left without a win, and we 61 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: will be betting two of those teams today. And on 62 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: the other side of things, only five teams left are undefeated. 63 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: Chief Spills, no surprises there, Seahawks, Viking Steelers, perhaps a 64 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: bit more surprising. Have an article up at Action talking 65 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: about what are the futures look like for those teams? 66 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: Are you set for the playoffs that you know? Are 67 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: we fading how to do that week to week? So today, 68 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: as we're betting for Week four, definitely looking at some 69 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: of these winless teams. 70 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: Well. Number one on the list is a winless team. 71 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: Tell me what you're looking at. It's a divisional matchup. 72 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: This is your best gat. I'm gonna go to Jacksonville. 73 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: I guess we're going to Houston on this one. Give 74 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: me the Jaguars plus six and a half in Houston. 75 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: I think, first and foremost is a great BILO spot 76 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: for Jacksonville in a division game, and it's a good 77 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: spot against what I think is like overrated Texans team. 78 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: This is a team that I think got hyped up 79 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: all off season. We're all excited. They got the new additions. 80 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: They bring in mixing, they bring in digs, lots of 81 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: new defenders. They haven't really lived up to the hype 82 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: so far. And first of all division underdogs of six 83 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: and a half for more of the first five weeks 84 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: eighty eight, fifty eight and two against the spread sixty percent, 85 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: so just right there alone. Whoever the teams are, we 86 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: know early in the season to not get too confident 87 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: in one of these big division favorites. Texans offense by 88 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: dv away. Now DVOA only means so much three weeks in, 89 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: but they're twenty sixth in DVOA, their bottom coord of 90 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: the league in running and passing. 91 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: CJ. Stroud. 92 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: I talked about him my quarterback rankings coming to this season. 93 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: I think we crowned him as this elite quarterback. So 94 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: far he has not lived up to it. He is 95 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: twenty eighth in success rate in the NFL and on 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: negative play rate from Patent Analytics negative play meaning sac 97 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: interception or fumble. 98 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 3: CJ. 99 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: Stroud is having a negative play thirteen point five percent 100 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: of his dropbacks. That ranks second to last in the NFL. 101 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Only Scaler Thompson has a worse rating in that one. 102 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: It's not a name you want to be associated with. 103 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 3: So CJ. 104 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: Stroud is where I'm looking on the matchup here. There's 105 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: a really key matchup. We all watch the Jaguars and 106 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: Monday night we watched the Bills Monday night, right, the 107 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: Jaguars were just kind of present. They were watching the 108 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Bills put up points on them. New defensive coordinator Ryan 109 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: Nielsen plays the number one most man coverage in the 110 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: NFL over fifty percent by far the most. Josh Allen 111 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: on Monday Night, as we saw, carves up man. He 112 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: has since twenty twenty on early downs forty two touchdowns, 113 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: only four interceptions versus man, twenty seven touchdowns, twenty nine 114 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: receptions against zone oops. Probably should have played some zone 115 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: against Josh Allen. They didn't. This is what Ryan Nielsen does. 116 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: He plays man all right? Well, now, CJ Stroud, how's he? 117 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: You do? 118 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: Ce Stroud is the opposite CJ. 119 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Stroud last year as a rookie against zone number one 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: in QBR eighty ninth percentile PFF grade against man. What 121 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: he's facing here twenty seventh in QBR seventeenth percentile PFF grade. 122 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: So I think there's a matchup look that you like here. 123 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: And then just looking at blind trends on teams in 124 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: a spot like this, road teams after feeling to cover 125 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: by twenty four more sixty two percent against the spread. 126 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: That's a Jacksonville spot. Winless teams against a not undefeated 127 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: winning team from week four on sixty two ats this 128 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: trend after trend end we've done on this podcast for 129 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: a few weeks. These six and six and a half 130 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: point road underdogs another spot here there. So I am 131 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: taking Jacksonville plus six. 132 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 3: And a half. 133 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: But as I want to do, I got a little 134 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: escalator for us, you know how we get in these 135 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: upsets for the season, Trevor Lawrence. As you have pointed 136 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: out repeatedly in your article, Davin has not won a 137 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: game since Thanksgiving. He is on an eight game losing streak. However, 138 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: six of the last nine Jaguars wins last season were 139 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: by double digits, and if you look in his career, 140 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: eleven out of twenty Lawrence wins in. 141 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: His career by double digits. 142 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: Average margin victory is almost twelve points a game, and 143 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: six of nine Texans losses since the Star last season 144 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: by double digits. Those six losses by an average of 145 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: nineteen points a game. So we're doing it. We gotta 146 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: do it. Sprinkle the Jaguars to win by ten minus 147 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: nine and a half alternate line plus eight thirty. Nobody 148 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: sees it coming. We're seeing it coming. We're going Jaguars 149 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: plus six and a half. But play for that ten 150 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: point win as well. 151 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: God, I love it. And the one thing I will 152 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: say about the number before we move on to your 153 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: next pick, Brandon, look ahead was three and a half. 154 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: You're getting six and a half and nothing really changed. 155 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: So you're getting some free points in a divisional matchup. No, 156 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: I can't hate it all right, let's move on to 157 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: the next pick. This one's an awesome game. It's an 158 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: awesome game because you've got just a guy going back 159 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: to a place that he can he can just oh, 160 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: he could just take it all over. So it is 161 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: Bengals Panthers. What do you like here? 162 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the Andy Dollon revenge game. Right. 163 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: So we're all excited about seeing this week. And I 164 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: think you just you talked a little bit ago about 165 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: the free points on the line. I think we're getting 166 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: some free points on this line too. So I'm going 167 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: to take the Bengals on the road the oh and 168 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: three Bengals minus the four. 169 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: I think this line is a. 170 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: Ridiculous overreaction to last week's results. We saw the Panthers. 171 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: That wasn't a kitchen sink game. That was like a 172 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: franchise kitchen sink game. That was we're on the brink 173 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: against the woebegone Raiders. We gotta solve it, and boy, 174 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: they did give them credit. We talked about on the 175 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: Tuesday roundtable. I think that was a little bit more 176 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: about the Raiders. Personally, I think the Raiders are in 177 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: big trouble the Bengals. We watched Monday night dropped to 178 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: zero to three. They lose to Washington. They can't stop 179 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: a nose. Please, everyone leaves them for dead. All right, Well, 180 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: this game was minus seven and a half on Sunday morning, 181 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 1: so we're really moving this a field goal now because 182 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: we saw Andy Dalton get in the throwback machine. If 183 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: you zoom out, look at this year compared to last year. Again, 184 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: DVA only so much this time of year, but it's 185 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: gonna crazy. Last year for the season, Panthers DVA and 186 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: offense thirty first, twenty fifth on defense so far this 187 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: year thirty first on offense, twenty first on defense, same 188 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: old Panthers. Bengals last year eleventh on offense, twenty third 189 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: by defense. 190 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: Guess what. 191 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: The defense still isn't very good, twenty fourth. The offense 192 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: is fifth. They're owing three but a top five offense 193 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: so far. And if you think of what you saw 194 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: on Monday night, there's plenty of Bengals scoring points. Also, 195 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: they the offense did their job. They seem to make 196 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: some defensive stops. So in this matchup Bengals often, I 197 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: think he's going to score. The Panthers defense is not good. 198 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: No Derek Brown, that alone, I think is a enough mismatch, 199 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: but there's a chance the Andy Dalton thing was kind 200 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: of like a one time thing. 201 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: There's no Adam Thielen. 202 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: He's out now, and I think it's a spot for 203 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: lou Henrumo to get right maybe against Andy Dalton a 204 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: little bit. 205 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: Maybe it goes that way. 206 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Even if not, I think the Bengals scoring enough to 207 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: get over the number here. Joe Burrow fourteen seven to 208 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: one ats after a loss, including seventy nine percent on 209 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: the road there, so we like the spot for him. 210 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: I know he's owing three, but he did cover in 211 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: that spot in Kansas City and probably should have got 212 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: the win there. So give me the Bengals minus four. 213 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: Just an overreaction here. 214 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: All right, for the second straight game. You're getting the 215 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: best of the number, something we like to see for 216 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: this third pick. Not all it kind of brought my 217 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: interest a little bit because you don't all the time 218 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: pick anytime touchdown bet. But we're gonna look in the 219 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 2: afternoon slate here Arizona, Washington. What are you looking for? 220 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm gonna play their rookie. 221 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Marvin Harrison Junior to scoring anytime 222 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: touchdown plus one twenty five, and I like what you 223 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: said because that's sort of the path that got me here. 224 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: You're right, I don't play touchdowns too often. Usually I 225 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: play them if I had to rule out my other 226 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: versions of the game. So where I started here. As 227 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: I looked long and hard at the over, I almost 228 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: took this on the hot read. I almost took the 229 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: over on the look ahead. It's fifty and a half. 230 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: Fifty one is a key number. We're gonna get a 231 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: lot of points here. Like the Commander's defense is the 232 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: worst in the league by DVA. Cardinals defense was my 233 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: worst team defensively by my rankings coming into the season. 234 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: Both offenses our top ten so far. Right now, Jane 235 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: Daniels is cooking. He's the Rookie of the Year favorite. 236 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: Washington has scored every drive two straight games. Seems pretty good. 237 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: I think we get a lot of points here. Fifty 238 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: is a lot. It's really hard to go over on fifty. 239 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: It's just hard to get there. I looked at it. 240 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: But sometimes there's other ways you can play an over 241 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: and guess what if we're gonna get to fifty points, 242 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: some dudes are gonna find the end zone. And I 243 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: think Marvin Harrison is some dudes. This was what we 244 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: did Monday night. I looked at that game Washington Cincinnati. 245 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: I looked at an over would have been a fine. 246 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: We went way over them are on Monday. But I 247 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: like Jamar Chase, thought he was a good angle. And 248 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: we've been playing stud receivers against Washington. Here are the 249 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: numbers for the season. Jamar Chase six catches, one hundred 250 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: and eighteen yards, two scores, got the job done. Malik 251 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: Neighbors the game before ten for one hundred and twenty seven. 252 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: He found the end zone against Tampa. Mike Evans sixty 253 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: one and two scores, Chris Godwin eighty three in a score. 254 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: Those four dudes, like the four great receivers so far 255 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: against Washington, are averaging seven and a half catches, one 256 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: hundred yards and one and a half touchdowns a game. 257 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: So Marvin Harrison Junior, remember week one long ago? 258 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 3: Oh, No, one catch four yards, He's a buss. He 259 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: can't even run down the field. 260 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: Turns out since then, nine catches, one hundred and ninety 261 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: four yards, three touchdowns, turns out he's okay. He's got 262 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: three of Arizona's five receiving touchdowns. This is a thing 263 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: that he's been good at at college as well. He 264 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: was top five back to back years in the nation 265 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: and receiving touchdowns. He actually had at least one score 266 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: ten of his last eleven games in school, and now 267 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: here he is two of his last three in the NFL. 268 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: So I like the touchdown plus one twenty five. It's 269 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: kind of my way of playing over here, but without 270 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: having to take on the leverage of the over And 271 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: he did have two touchdowns two weeks ago. We saw 272 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: that in the first quarter. He had two touchdowns four 273 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: times his last year in school. We already saw Chase 274 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: score twice on Washington. We saw Evans score twice on Washington. 275 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: Gotta do it plus nine to fifty. Sprinkle a little 276 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 1: bit on the two touchdowns for Harrison, but most of 277 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: the bet here on just the anytime touchdown one time. Finally, 278 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: end zone, mister Harrison plus one twenty five. 279 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: Well, if Washington doesn't punt again in this game, you 280 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: should get enough possessions for it to work. The other 281 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: one here is the totals up five points from the 282 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: look ahead, So you're getting a good number on like 283 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 2: you said, a high scoring game was forty five and 284 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: a half, now fifty and a half, So I like it. 285 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to your last pick here in 286 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: the first section. Now, you were buying a wide receiver 287 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: in your previous pick. In this one, you're looking at 288 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: a game that's now down three points on the total, 289 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: and you're looking to fade a wide receiver. Talk to 290 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: me about it. 291 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna take an under here on Garrett Wilson, 292 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: a guy who I like quite a bit, a guy 293 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: who have a bet on just a small play for 294 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: offensive player of the year. It's not looking great so 295 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: far because the Jets are having a hard time offensively. 296 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: So let me ruind a little bit. Jets Broncos totals 297 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: below forty. I think we're looking at likely an ugly game. 298 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: Both teams tend to be run heavy. I wish the 299 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: Jets would figure out how to let their guy here 300 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: and Rodgers throw the ball, but they just love to 301 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: hand the ball off on first and second down. 302 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: I think this is one of those games. 303 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Where it's like, uh oh, I thought we were just 304 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: ending the fourth quarter here on red zone, but this 305 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: game's already wrapping up. Jets Broncos is done twenty to seventeen, right, 306 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: like something like that. So I do like the Jets 307 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: here and now if I don't need the points. So 308 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what's the script here? Well, the 309 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: Jets offensively, so far as we've watched them, they're playing 310 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: all right. I think Aaron Rodgers looks pretty good personally. 311 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: The problem that they have is Mike Williams has not 312 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: been healthy and they just don't have a lot of weapons. 313 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: They got Garrett Wilson, and then we got Allen Lazard 314 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: or we got like whatever, one of Aaron Rodgers' friends. 315 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: He has around to throw the ball to well. Against 316 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: Denver in particular, I think that could be a problem. 317 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: Denver's got Patrick's retain, who is one of the best 318 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the league and one of the few that 319 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: still shadows opponents. So so far he's based off against 320 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: these three guys, and here's the results. DK metcalf with 321 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: certain on him three catches twenty nine yards, only four targets. 322 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: Even George Pickens' next game two catches twenty nine yards, 323 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: four targets, Mike Evans two catches seventeen yards on three targets. 324 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: They're not even getting targeted. They're getting like a one 325 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: target per quarter on average. Those three guys are two 326 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: point three catches for twenty five yards. So I am 327 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: taking Garrett Wilson on the under. I don't know if 328 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: I said this at the top. That's my fault. Garrett 329 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Wilson under fifty six and a half receiving yards and 330 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: it seems like a low number. I just think it's 331 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: not quite low enough. If you look at Wilson so far, 332 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: he does have two games at fifty seven and sixty. 333 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: He has a thirty three. We're averaging fifty yards a game. 334 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: He's getting some of the target looks, but he's also 335 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: not getting big catches. He only has four double digit 336 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: yard catches for the season, only one more than sixteen. 337 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: That was a twenty six yarder. So I think I 338 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: need volume to hit an over here. You probably need 339 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: maybe six seven eight catches. He's not really been getting that, 340 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: and Certain has not been allowing that either. So if 341 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm denver, I think that I can keep this thing close. 342 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: I can stick Certain on game here Wilson, have him 343 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: follow around the field for's the justin be mean with 344 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: Alan Lazard and Conklin and whatever.

We'll go one by one here. Please 371 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: have a little bit of juice to them, a little 372 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 2: bit of you know, a skin in the game. So 373 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: first one here, you're gonna be talking about Sunday night football. 374 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 2: Talk to me what you like in this Ravens Bills game. 375 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this game. So here, let me give 376 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: you the peck and I'll lay out the case for us. 377 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: This is the same game parlay, and you're gonna have 378 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: to get creative're gonna have to look on like the 379 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: alternate lines at your boock. We're gonna do a first half, 380 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: second half same game parlay. So I want the Ravens 381 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: in the first half and taking an alternate line Ravens 382 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: minus three and a half, so Baltimore gets up. But 383 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: then I want the Bills minus the same three and 384 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: a half in the second and half. I'm gonna put 385 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: those two together. It's a plus four to twenty five. 386 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: So here's the case. This game is awesome. This game 387 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be so much fun. Like the whole waiting 388 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: all day for Sunday night is actually this game. This 389 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: is the one that we're doing waiting all day for. 390 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: These are number one and number two on offensive. Dvoa 391 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: Bill's our first Raven second. They're both top ten on defense. 392 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: We actually haven't really gotten to see much Lamar against 393 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: Josh at their current levels. We only really have one 394 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: meeting with them. Playing like MVP type guys. I will 395 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: say I looked a lot at rushing numbers here. I 396 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: like rushing overs for both quarterbacks in a big game 397 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: that their coaches tend to like take the gloves off 398 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: and just go for the kill. So I like Lamar 399 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: over nine half attempts. I like the script for the game, 400 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: narrative wise, and That's where I'm looking at this. I 401 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: don't want to predict a winner here. I'm not really 402 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: sure who wins this game, to be honest, but here's 403 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: what I do know, and I know you know this happened. 404 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in the first half sixty five percent against 405 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: the spread for his career. It's been a little more 406 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: up and down more recently, but two out of three 407 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: for a career pretty good Allen in the second half, 408 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: exact same thing. Sixty five percent ats for him in 409 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: his career. So what do we see with Baltimore every 410 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: week when you watch they come out, they look good, 411 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: they build a lead, and then they hold on for 412 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: dear life and try to get over the line and 413 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: sometimes don't like the Raiders at the end of the game. 414 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 3: So that's the narrative we're building. 415 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: The narrative play is a Ravens lead early, minus three 416 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: and a half in the first half, so I gotta 417 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: be up by four, Maybe get a touchdown, get Justin 418 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: Tucker out of here, no field goals anymore, Just give 419 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: in the end zone, get Dereck Henry in there or something. 420 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: And then here's where I think this matters for a 421 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: lot of teams. If you get up a bunch, they're 422 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: gonna stay up a bunch. And now I don't necessarily 423 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: want the other team in the second half. I think 424 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: actually books are tweeting this as negative correlation. I think 425 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: for this game is positive correlation. If the Ravens get up, 426 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: I want the Bills. I think the Bills are going 427 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: to keep this game close. In fact, I think the 428 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: Bills are a great teaser leg. This week, they're plus 429 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: two and a half. Tease that to eight and a half. 430 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: The Bill have not lost by more than one score 431 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: in forty four regular season games. The last time they 432 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: did it and involved Frank Reich and Carson Wentz on 433 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. That's how long ago. So I knowed 434 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: the Bills keep it close, Ravens take a lead, as 435 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: they do. The Bills push back the second half as 436 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: they do. I don't really care what happens after that. 437 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: Just keep it close and do your thing back then 438 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: narrative Ravens first half, Bill second half both minus three 439 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: and a half, plus four to twenty five on the 440 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: same game parlay. 441 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, this is King first half versus 442 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 2: King second half. This is a complete narrative play, all 443 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: narrative street, everything stays straight. You'll when you're back. Congratulations. 444 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: All right, next one divisional matchup this week. Now you've 445 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: got King of the underdogs. Who's a favorite. So you've 446 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: got the Packers at home favorites. What do you like 447 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: in that one? 448 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 4: So? 449 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: Look, I'm a Vikings fan, and I struggle picking Vikings games, 450 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: but I started this one all week. The line just 451 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: feels off to me. I just think that the Packers 452 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: are the better team. We all thought so a month ago, 453 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: and now it's minus two and a half, basically calling 454 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: this a coin flip game factory in home field. So 455 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't get there in the minus two and a half. 456 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: It's three at some books now. I definitely don't want 457 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: the key number. So if I'm there and I like 458 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: a team, I look for an alternate angle. So here's 459 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: the angle. I'm gonna take the Packers, but I'm gonna 460 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: betray my own team. I'm taking the Packers minus nine 461 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: and a half. Packers to win by double digits. It's 462 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: plus three hundred. So here's the case. They are Green 463 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: Bay number three in offensive DVOA, despite two of three 464 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: games with Malik Willis, who we did not think was 465 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback two weeks ago. One game played an ice 466 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: rink in Brazil. There's still that good. Their top seven 467 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: rushing and passing, and while that happened, Jeff Hafley, the 468 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator, quietly coming around there. 469 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 3: They are top twelve defensively as well. 470 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: Just had a really nice game there for the Vikings, 471 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: obviously number one defense, they've been awesome so far, but 472 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: they've been awesome against Daniel Jones and then back to 473 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: back Shanahan offensives, which are more creative, aggressive play callers 474 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: like McDonald, like brand Flores. Those of the guys having successes, 475 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: especially two weeks in a row, get a lot of 476 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: practice in against that style of offense. Jordan Love, I 477 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: think he's back for this game. Obviously, I do not 478 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: want this pick if Love ends up not playing. But 479 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Love last season rank number two against the Blitz 480 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: on PFF grades. He had twelve touchdowns only one reception. 481 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: Jordan Love I'm rating as an elite quarterback, and he 482 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: also is playing behind what has been the number two 483 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: pass block in the NFL so far from PFF. 484 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 3: So if you bring all the pressure and. 485 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: You don't get there or you get close, but you 486 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: have an elite quarterback that can pick you apart, not 487 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: a system that's supposed to just take what's there suddenly 488 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: that can go very poorly, and it can go the 489 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: other way in a hurry. I think the Packers the 490 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: last two weeks had the biggest two weeks of the season. 491 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: We said that Sunday night. The Vikings too have not 492 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: played from behind all season. That's good, right, that's great. 493 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: We want you. 494 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: If you don't play from a hand all season, you're 495 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games. It turns out last 496 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: week we saw with the Saints what happened when you're 497 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: a front runner but aren't front running anymore. Did not 498 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: go well. They were off script. It didn't go well 499 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: for Derek Carr. We haven't seen yet what happens when 500 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota plays a close game. What happens when Sam Darnold 501 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: is behind and has to throw from me. He's not 502 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: been good outdoors in his career. What happens to Brian 503 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: Flores when he can't just blitz pass rushers all game 504 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: because you're playing an elite quarterback they can handle it, 505 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: or because you're behind right now and they man want 506 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: to run the ball, or that sort of thing. So 507 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota the belief in this team because they 508 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: haven't trailed yet, like we need. We haven't seen the 509 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: real version of the vikings. We need to see them 510 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: any game like this. And then here's where I get 511 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 1: to the aut line. And I got a couple other 512 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: kind of various ways to play Green Bay here. So 513 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: these teams have split the last four years. Obviously, you 514 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: play in the division twice a year. It's split the 515 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: series all four years, but five games in a row 516 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: are double digit games between these teams. It's a close series, 517 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: but the games haven't been close. Usually one team gets 518 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: ahead and wins relatively easily. So if I'm gonna play, 519 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: make it worthwhile, Packers double digits plus three hundred. If 520 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: you like a side here and you want to do 521 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: the futures route, Packers are plus three forty in the division. 522 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: They win this game with those Malik Willis wins. There's 523 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: something looking pretty good in the division. Obviously the Lions 524 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: are in play there as well. But then one other 525 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: future I played this in the app. This week's hopefully 526 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: you tailed. I think Jordan Love. 527 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 3: MVP is still is still available. 528 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 1: I think Malik Willis with the assist, got a couple wins. 529 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: QB wins our thing. You gotta win the game. You 530 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: got the Packers some wins. Jordan Love is sixty to 531 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: one to an MVP. 532 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 3: I think, who's. 533 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: Gonna remember in that September he didn't play games. We're 534 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna remember the moments that are coming up. Still, I 535 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: think Love still has a shot in MVP race. That 536 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: looks like Alan and not a lot of other guys 537 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: so far. So I'm gonna sprinkle some of those futures. 538 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sprinkle Packers, Mainstein and a half plus three 539 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: hundred just kind of give me a few different ways 540 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: to see what happens here. If the Packers really look 541 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: as good as they are, I think the Packers are 542 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: a quiet Super Bowl contender right now. 543 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 544 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: If Love doesn't miss any more games and the Packers 545 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: end the season on a really hot streak and do 546 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: really well, we'll have no memory of the fact that 547 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 2: Malik Willis was in these two starts. We'll just give 548 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: them to Love and have you know, the Packers are 549 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: the great record. All right. We've got one more long 550 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: shot for you. This is longer than the other one. 551 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: We give you a four to one. We give you 552 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: a three to one. Then you told you sixty to one. 553 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: Now we got something a little bit longer than that 554 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: what he got. 555 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, just real quick, Darius Robinson for Defensive Rookie of 556 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: the Year. It's eighty to one out there one book. 557 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: Hopefully you followed in the app. We got this at 558 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: one fifty to one. There, make sure that you get 559 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: the pro subscription, get those notifications on the case. Is 560 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: he's a first round pass rusher that fits the bill. 561 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: This is a wide open race. No rookie has more 562 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: than one sacker interception except a twenty six year old 563 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: rookie from the Birmingham Stallions. 564 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: In the UFL. 565 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: So I can't tell you much about Darius Robinson except 566 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals badly need dudes to pass rus bj Olargi, 567 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: o Jalari is out, Justin Jones is out. 568 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: They need guys. 569 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: Why is Robinson's out solo? He hasn't played yet. He's 570 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: eligibly come off of ir next week. I think these 571 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: odds shift that way. Just take a sprinkle. See about 572 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: a guy that can fit the profile here long term? 573 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what Brandon's telling you is just take 574 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: a few stabs right now. So anyone in that like 575 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 2: high zone, someone's gonna get a bunch of saxon and 576 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: probably take a lead. So, uh, throw a few stabs 577 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: out there before the weekend. All right, look aheadline, we're 578 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: looking to week five, But talk to me about what 579 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: your look ahead was for week four and what we 580 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 2: can be betting right now. 581 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: Looking ahead, let's look Ahead, Just give it a shot. 582 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 2: How about next week? 583 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 3: I got my mindset, got my mindset. Yeah. 584 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: So week four we did the under. We did another 585 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin the road under Steelers Colts. So hopefully we 586 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: get that under this week and other one of those 587 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: ugliest Steelers games. 588 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 3: For next week. I have to do it to my Vikings. 589 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick against my Vikings twice on the same podcast, 590 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: and I'm going with the Jets money line. It so 591 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: our first international game in London Sunday morning, Aaron Rodgers 592 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Boy, don't I know watching that one 593 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: Jets money line minus one oh four. So again, look 594 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: Ahead is about line movement. That's the play here. The 595 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: Jets are big favorites home against the Broncos bo Nicks. 596 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: On the road, you like the Jets to take care 597 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: of business. They're the Vikings are road underdogs. They haven't 598 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: trailed yet. What's it look like when they're not front runners? 599 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: What if they lose that Packers game. I think this 600 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: line effectively prices a coin flip right now. The Jets 601 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: are favorite or underdogs depending on the book you look 602 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: at by like a point either way. 603 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 3: I think they end up favorites. 604 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: I think that's the direction this line is going to 605 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: move based on the games we're going to see this weekend. 606 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers fourteen and seven straight up against the 607 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: Vikings as a favorite in his career International games. Throw 608 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: the Jaguars out their home in London, right they They're 609 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: their own thing outside of those favorites. Just win twenty 610 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: four to nine against the spread favorites and international games 611 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: not counting the Jaguars, including they've won ten of their 612 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: last eleven. Aaron Rodgers looks pretty good. You shook off 613 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: the ross and the Jets quietly are kind of shaping 614 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: their defense stop compared to what looked awful the first week. 615 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: Rineso's offense I think is the clear weeklink of the 616 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: four units in this game. And so I'm just gonna 617 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: take the money line. I think we're basically getting a 618 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: coin flip here that'll end up not price to the 619 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: coin flip by the time we get there. So get 620 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: ahead of where I think the line moves. Jets minus 621 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: one oh four on the money line. Let's play international 622 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: ball Sunday morning. 623 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: Well after the Garrett Wilson struggles against the Broncos this 624 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: week and they'll rebound and look great against the Vikings. 625 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: Right all right, Brandon, thank you, that's going to do it. 626 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 2: Here for the Action Network podcast for our Week four 627 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: best Bets in the NFL episode.
