Speaker 1: fantasy sport, there is a contest for every fan. Fan

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: Duel more ways to win. Hi, everybody, welcome in Friday morning.

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing this now for the next nineteen

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: twenty weeks. I bring in Chad Millman and we go

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: over my favorite eight bets of the week, and he

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: tells me if I'm a sharp or a square. But

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: first it's time for fake questions, real answers. There's stuff

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: I want to talk about. I don't want to wait

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: for you to ask me fake questions, real answers. Here

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: we go, Dear Colin. After a sloppy play in Week one,

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying starters need to play

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: more in the preseason. Don't you think they're getting a

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: tad carried away? Great question, Yes I do. Football teams

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: have never been refined. In September, Andy Reid, Sean McVay,

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Matt Naggie. Offensive coaches. They spend offseason scheming new plays.

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: So I do think offensive coaches have an advantage over

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: defensive coaches in September. Defenses are rarely in great form early.

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: There's a longtime baseball saying an opening day pitchers are

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: ahead of hitters. The belief is that hitters perform worse

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, therefore pitchers perform better

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. Last week, the biggest

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: numbers were put up by the Saints, Sean Payton, Cardinals,

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, Eagles, Nick Siani, Niners, Kyle Shanahan, Rams, Sean McVay.

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: September is for offensive coaches. Consider that when gambling, dear Colin,

28
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: a team needs a quarterback right now, who's a backup

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: or unsigned? Who is the first guy you'd call? Another

30
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: terrific question. He's not high profile like Cam Newton, he

31
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have endorsements. But it's remarkable to me how we

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: always forget about Nick Foles, who outdueled Tom Brady a

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, who has a career record over five hundred.

34
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: In fact, with Philadelphia, when he had decent offensive line

35
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: protection and a smart offensive coach, he was twenty one

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: and eleven and a passer rating above ninety three. He's

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: played in six playoff games, He's won four eleven tds,

38
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: five picks in a ninety nine passer rating. Nick Foles

39
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: has always been as good is his surrounding, protection and coaching.

40
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, I'm not building my franchise around him. My

41
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: argument is he's absolutely and has been for the last

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: several years, the best backup quarterback in the NFL. Dear Colin,

43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: you're plugged into USC. Why did they wait until the

44
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: season started to fire Clay Helton? Why didn't they do

45
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: it months ago, even years ago? Well, Lynn Swann gave

46
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: Clay Helton an extension, so the current athletic director, Mike Bone,

47
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: inherited along Clay Hilton contract. USC was going through some

48
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: ugly financial payouts. They didn't want to write a check

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: for twenty million dollars for a new guy and fifteen

50
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: million dollars for Clay Helton. Ideally Clay would have been

51
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: strong enough to get through this season, then they would

52
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: have written him about a five million dollar check. Instead,

53
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: they had to write him one closer to twelve. The

54
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: reality with Clay Helton is at Mike Bone, the current

55
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: athletic director, was never a huge fan. He surrounded him

56
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: with elite recruiters hoping that if he had to get

57
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: rid of Clay Helton, the next coach would inherit a

58
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: team and a roster capable of winning the Pack twelve.

59
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I believe that is true. The cupboard is not bare.

60
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Mike Bone deserves credit he two years ago realized Clay Helton,

61
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: who he inherited, was not perfect. He also realized very quickly,

62
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: if I put money into the staff, make it younger,

63
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: very good at recruiting, the next coach has a chance

64
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: to take over the team and win immediately. And I

65
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: believe if US gets it right with the coach, they'll

66
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: be favored next year in the conference. Dear Colin, which

67
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: team and fan base is the most frustrating to you

68
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: in all of sports? That's the best question. Yet it's

69
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: the United States men's national soccer team. Every time something

70
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: goes wrong, they blame the coach. In other sports, we

71
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: know inherently the coach can't control everything. Bill Belichick is

72
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: struggling to win as the greatest football coach ever without

73
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Greg Popovitch is largely considered the best strategist

74
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: in the last fifteen years in the NBA. He now

75
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: can't win without Tim Duncan, a coach, it's understood, is

76
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: only as good as his players really think. Last year,

77
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts was the best manager in baseball. But for

78
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: some reason, soccer fans keep blaming Greg Berhalter for everything. Folks,

79
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: the world's best soccer coach, whoever that may be, would

80
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: not get us to the final four in the World Cup.

81
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: This team has more offensive talent except midfield than any

82
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: team we potentially ever had. But we don't have Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England.

83
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: We don't have that level of talent. Every other fan

84
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: base realizes even great coaches have absolute limitations. Belichick Popovich

85
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: based on talent. All right, here he is Chad Millman,

86
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: Chief content Officer of the Action Network. Now, on this

87
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: show last week, Chad and I got the Steelers in Carolina, right,

88
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: we both missed on the Bears, the Chiefs Washington. He

89
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: did like he did take the Texans, so he gets

90
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: a bonus for that. I said I should have taken

91
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I think I should get a bonus for that.

92
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: But overall we were both kind of three and five

93
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: on this show. So all right, So the way this

94
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: thing works, can I get a super bonus for saying

95
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: you should be parling teams like the Texans and the Steelers,

96
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: or because I did that and it turned out to

97
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: be quite profitable. Oh all right, go ahead, thank you,

98
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: thank you. All right, but everything here is it's archived,

99
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: so there's no belogne here, no no uh knuckleballs. This

100
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: is your will be a power pitcher in this game.

101
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: I feel like life is about being judged, and if

102
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: you are not comfortable with your record, then don't do

103
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: something publicly. But you and I, we both have massive egos.

104
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: Is important for us to share what we know and

105
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: then to be praised and hopefully people will forget when

106
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: we don't do as well as we should. So every

107
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: week I'm going to bring eight games, and from this eight,

108
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick five. And the way this game works

109
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: is I give you my take on it, and you say,

110
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: sharper square and then give me what you would do.

111
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: So let's start with this. I like the Chargers. It's

112
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: now minus three and a half. I like them before,

113
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: I like them more now without DeMarcus Lawrence, easily the

114
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: best Cowboy defensive player. Is that the fact that the

115
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: Washington defense really got no pressure on Justin Herbert, and

116
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: now the Cowboys bringing a defense or front without their

117
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: best player tells me that Justin Herbert at home is

118
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of time to throw the football.

119
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: He was remarkable on third down last week, bizarrely good

120
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: seventy four percent against the Washington defense, and it should

121
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: be noted a defensive leaning staff that had more than

122
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: a week to prepare for them. Dallas has a more

123
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: offensive minded staff. I'm going to take the Chargers preferably

124
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: at minus three, but even if it's minus three and

125
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: a half, sharper square. So the Chargers are a sharp play.

126
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: But they were a sharp play when this game opened

127
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: at two and a half, yes, and now it was

128
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: bet up to three. It was bet up to three

129
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: and a half. At three and a half is not

130
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: a sharp play anymore. It's just decide that everybody is playing,

131
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: and they've been playing it more aggressively. Since the news

132
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: about about the defensive lineman whose name I just forgot,

133
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, I think, yeah, DeMarcus Lawrence. And since the

134
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: news about him came out, Michael Gallup not playing. There

135
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: have been some injuries on that team in the span

136
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: of the twenty four to forty eight hours just in

137
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. That's why it's no longer

138
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: a sharp side at three and a half. Personally, I'm

139
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: not going to play it anymore because there's an old

140
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: axium in betting, get the best of the number, and

141
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: oftentimes if you like the side but the number has

142
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: moved so far, especially over a key number like three,

143
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: and you missed it, you don't bet it because then

144
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: that's going to come back to bite you in the

145
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: long run. So I like the Chargers in this game,

146
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: I won't bet it because I don't like I don't

147
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: like the number anymore. Interesting game I feel strongly about.

148
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't like favorites. Generally, I would take the Steelers

149
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: minus five hosting the Raiders. Raiders on a short week,

150
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: I really think what Pittsburgh was able to do, which

151
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: was completely unravel a more than capable Buffalo offense at home.

152
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: We forget the Steelers were a defensive unit last year

153
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: until they fell apart. We were reminded in opening week

154
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: at Buffalo just how dominant and relentless they are. Raiders

155
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: in a short week. I don't even know if they're

156
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: particularly well coached. I feel like there are two person

157
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: offense with Derek Carr and Waller, the Steelers were able

158
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: to buy committee shut down Stefon Diggs. I would take

159
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: the Steelers a favorite to cover here sharp or dull sharp,

160
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: very sharp right side. The defense is fierce, no doubt

161
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: about it. But it was interesting about that Bill's game,

162
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: and you and I both liked the Steelers. You and

163
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: I both liked the Steelers to win in that game.

164
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger in the second half of that game. They

165
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: had a lot of troubles in the first half of offense.

166
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: In the second half of that game, he played like

167
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: a savvy veteran and when they needed to have plays

168
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: made third downs, you weren't worried that Roethlisberger was going

169
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over. And that's how they won

170
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: the game. They were methodical, they got the right plays,

171
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: they had the right turnover from special teams. I thought

172
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: they were just incredibly really well coached in that game.

173
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Great spot for Mike Tomlin that last week. That's the

174
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: only thing that scares me out this week is Mike

175
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Tomlin is amazing when he's got a row out his team.

176
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: He's less amazing when his team is favored and they're

177
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: supposed to win. But I do think this is the

178
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: right side. I'm gonna throw one at you and I

179
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: don't even know how I feel, but I'm just going

180
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: to give you my acumen here. So New England led

181
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: the NFL last weekend with Mac Jones in a particularly

182
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: captivating stat they averaged nine plays a drive and over

183
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: four minutes. Now why does that matter? Because it was

184
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: against Brian Flores, Matt Jones's numbers and Flores had more

185
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: than one week to prepare. Last year, Flores Mahomes through

186
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: three picks Jared Gough unraveled. Mac Jones can puted seventy

187
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: four percent of his throws, one sack, no turnovers in

188
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: a passer writing over one hundred. If you go back

189
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: to what Flores did to quarterbacks last year, he ate

190
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: them alive. His numbers max in his first start were

191
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: significantly better than quarterbacks last year. So that's the first

192
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: part of this. They outplayed Miami and lost, So I

193
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: find a team that lost people are down on there's

194
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: value in New England. Secondly, the Jets, this is inarguable,

195
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: could not run the football against Carolina, meaning they will

196
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: be more influenced and quarterback centric. Oh that's a shame,

197
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: because Belichick has the best record against quarterbacks under twenty

198
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: five in NFL history. I know the number six. If

199
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: it was seven night, stay away, but I have that

200
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: are swallowing the six and taking New England sharp or square? Well,

201
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: it's square because you're betting a big number on a

202
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback on the road, and the only things that

203
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: make it acceptable are the fact that it is Bill

204
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Belichick and he is the one who is the exception

205
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: to every single rule. Okay, I will be on the

206
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: Jets in this game. I think the line is inflated

207
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: because people are coming away from that game against Miami

208
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: with the same impression that you have. Mac Jones was

209
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: good on third down. He controlled the ball, he didn't

210
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: turn it over, he was preternaturally mature, all those things.

211
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't like the number. So I'll be on the Jets,

212
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: all right. So fine, that's how you see it. It's

213
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: not the sharp side by any means. All Right. The

214
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: NFL is back in FanDuel Sports Book wants you to

215

220
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,959

00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: this morning is Chiefs because they've dominated this series. They

222
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: also get Frank Clark and Honey Badger back. Same game parlay.

244
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: of betting the Seahawks last week? Did I? Yeah? I

245
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: think I did. No, No, I think I did. That's right,

246
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: that's right. So I have a rule that well coached

247
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: teams that are good, not bad teams, but capable. Well

248
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: coached teams when they play poorly or are humiliated, always

249
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: bounced back. The Colts not only lost, they were pushed

250
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: all over the field. The Rams are a good team.

251
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: This is efforts first road game. They're feeling very good

252
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: about themselves. The number was four, it's now three and

253
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: a half. I would take a well coached, talented team

254
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: and the points if it's over three against the Rams,

255
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: who we all now love, they're a little overvalued. It

256
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: was the Bears Sharper square. It is so sharp. I

257
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm watching a Ronco commercial and you are

258
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: selling me knives. That is how sharp it is. This

259
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: is exactly the side you want to be in. I

260
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: love this game. I love the Colts in this game.

261
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: I betted at four. I think three and a half

262
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: is still good. There's a stat home underdogs coming off

263
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: of a loss since two thousand and five. In Week two,

264
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: home dogs sixty three against the spread when the spread

265
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: is six or less. The Colts fit directly into that system.

266
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: That is a nice size data set. And agree with

267
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: everything you said. This is one where the market meets

268
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: the analysis meets the analysis on the field, right, And

269
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: so for me, that's one sharp play. All right, here's

270
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: another one. Gone back and forth on this, and I

271
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: like data. So I'm gonna go. Panthers plus three and

272
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: a half hosting the Saints. I was on the other

273
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: side of this, and I got a little birdie inside

274
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: the Carolina, little little insight. Carolina went into that game

275
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: against the Jets feeling they were the better side. New

276
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: coach rookie quarterback. It was a fairly conservative game plan

277
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: by Matt Rule. Darn Old. Week one gat him confidence.

278
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: The Saints meet while are not nearly as good as

279
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: everybody thinks. Today they faced a northern team in Jacksonville Heat,

280
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: which had a distracting offseason. We like the Saints and

281
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: they do have a good defensive front, but Carolina is

282
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: more than capable offensively. They're getting more than a field goal.

283
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: I think is the season progresses and Sam Darnold, remember

284
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: he did not play much in the preseason. This was

285
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: the first time live bullets. I think they open up

286
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: the offense. It's too many points. This is a big

287
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: divisional game. I'm taking Carolina plus three and a half.

288
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: So look, yeah, I love the Panthers. This is the

289
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: sharp side. Three things I want to say. One, I

290
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: love the Panthers last week against the Jets when the

291
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: number was at four because I'm really impressed with Matt Rule.

292
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: I think that defense is getting better. Two. You called

293
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: me yesterday we were talking a little bit about some games.

294
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: You were telling me how much you like the Saints,

295
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: and I said to you, I do not like this.

296
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: And I was thinking all night last night because I

297
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: like to think a lot about coming on the show.

298
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: I want to prep I want to be ready. I

299
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: want to visualize how am I going to respond to

300
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: you on the Saints And I've been researching this game

301
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: all day. Jamis Winston fourteen and one against the spread

302
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: as a favorite on the field zone looks bother Jamis Winston.

303
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: That's what Carolina is going to do. Marshawn Lattimore not playing,

304
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: that's a huge hit for the Saints defense. This game

305
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: had been lined, so if we were looking at this

306
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: game prior to this past weekend, it would have been

307
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Saints minus two. Now all of a sudden, it's it's

308
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: Saints minus four and they're traveling after coming off of

309
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: a huge blowout. That is way too much of a reaction,

310
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: too much inflation on a point spread. So I think

311
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent playing the right side in this.

312
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Here's another one. Thank you. They're It's a quality to

313
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow Chad Millman that I like in people is

314
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: that I am a believer that life is not about action.

315
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I got up this morning, I shower, I get a coffee,

316
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 1: I drive to work. Action. My life is largely driven

317
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: by my ability to react to having to get a vaccine.

318
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: My wife is mad at me by Moss's demanding that

319
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: how you handle reaction, how you react to action is overwhelmed.

320
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: The actions the easy part for all of us. It's

321
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: almost it's habitual. We do things. A lot of our

322
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: day to day lives are very habitual. It's easy. It's

323
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: reacting that matters. Joe Burrow has a really excellent quality

324
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: that Burrow throws remarkably well under duress. His numbers when pressured,

325
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: when hit, when sacked, his accuracy does not dip substantially.

326
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: This is a very good sign. He's comfortable with pressure.

327
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: He's comfortable in a muddy pocket. He is comfortable after sacks.

328
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: He is comfortable in that chaos. The Bears don't have

329
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: the pass rush they've had in previous years. I'm going

330
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: to take the Bengals to beat the Bears straight out.

331
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears locker room is great. I

332
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: like Cincinnati to upset the Bears plus one and a

333
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: half Bengals. I love your action reaction theory one hundred

334
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: percent agree. You could argue that what we do when

335
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: re react is when we are human, because that is

336
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: just pure instinct. I'm responding it's in front of me.

337
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't have time to think about it. I don't

338
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: have time to plan for it. I don't have time

339
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: to strategize. Love your take on that, hate your take

340
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: on the Bears and the Bengals. Completely disagree. I thought

341
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: the Bears played much much better than the score indicated

342
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: against the Rams, and they ran the ball very, very

343
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: well against a good running defense. Three plays mattered in

344
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: that game against the Bears defense, three plays in which

345
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford threw over the top. The Bears had defensive breakdowns.

346
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: That's what led to the Rams winning that game. The Bengals,

347
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: I agree with Joe Burrow, better quarterback, probably better locker

348
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: room right now, But the Bears at home with the

349
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: line moving in the Bengals direction. I don't want to

350
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: be on the side of the public underdog. I don't

351
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: want to be on the side of the team that

352
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: by the time this game gets kicks off, they could

353
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: be favored. That to me screams take the other side.

354
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: So for reasons both on the field and because of

355
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: what the market is doing and what the public feels,

356
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: I will be on the Bears, and I will be

357
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: on the Bears to win. I disagree with your assessment

358
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: of the line, of the spread, and of the Bengals

359
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: chances to win the game. All right, here's another one.

360
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Rarely is a top team undervalued, but the Chiefs because

361
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes became a spectator in the first half. We're pretty unimpressive.

362
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: But Frank Clark and Honey Badger didn't play against the

363
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: NFL's best rushing attack and highest graded offensive line. The

364
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs are actually undervalued here, and I only have to

365
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: swallow three and a half. Ravens are on a short week.

366
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: They're still using backups at running back. I like Kansas

367
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: City here to beat Baltimore by a touchdown. What do

368
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: you think sharp or square? I think it's pretty square.

369
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: It's decide that everybody will want to take. Betting is

370
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: about doing hard things. The hard thing is to take

371
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens as a home dog, getting the extra half

372
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: a point, getting the hook at three and a half.

373
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: It's hard to take the Ravens when they're off of

374
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: a hard loss, when they're traveling at home, when they're injured.

375
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: But it's the sharp side. I mean, you're gonna take

376
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: a home dog in this spot. And while you talk

377
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: about what the Chiefs were missing defensively, the Browns played

378
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: really really well against the Chiefs, and the Ravens have

379
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: a better defense than the Browns, and so I did

380
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: see some vulnerability on the field for the Chiefs. But

381
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: mostly the sharp side is the Ravens in the hook,

382
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw one at you. Sorry, Yeah, it's okay,

383
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: this is exploratory. This is you know, I told you

384
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: I love the Steelers this week. I loved the Colts,

385
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Panthers. Everything else is negotiable. That's

386
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: why we do this. Okay, I'm with you on all

387
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: three of those. Okay, are those are my strongest plays?

388
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: Eagles plus three and a half? Yeah, against hosting the Niners.

389
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: Now it's telling me to take the Eagles. And I

390
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: thought Jimmy Garoppolo said something interesting this week on can

391
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: Be Are the most popular radio station in the bar,

392
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: and knowing that Kyle Shanahan would hear it, is that

393
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: he said, I'm making the best of it when asked

394
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: about coming in and out of the football game. Making

395
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: the most of it is what you say when you

396
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: go on vacation and the hotel and the airline screwed you.

397
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: You're making the most of the vacation. It's what you

398
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: said in the past year with the COVID when your

399
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: kids had to homeschool and zoom school. We're making the

400
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: most of it. Jimmy Garoppolo is not happy, and Trey

401
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: Lance is not ready to play in that division. I

402
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: believe Garoppolo is better than people think and has more

403
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: leverage than people think. And I wonder if he and

404
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: the people who are his allies in that locker room.

405
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: He definitely has lots of allies in that locker room

406
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: are terribly happy with Kyle Shanahan. So whereas I think

407
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: Nick Serriani was making players cry last week reportedly in

408
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: the pregame speech, they're all in on this young coach,

409
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: as bad as he may be at the podium. So

410
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: the play is probably Eagles plus three and a half

411
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: because it's telling me to play that. So I know

412
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: what it's telling me to play. Tell me the side

413
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: you're on and why you believe strongly in the side

414
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: you're on A hundred percent, believe strongly in the Eagles

415
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: plus three and a half Philly's defense. Philly is a

416
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: team I think was primed to make the biggest leap

417
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: of the year. Their defensive line, as we saw this weekend,

418
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: is the strength of their team. The other strength is

419
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They win in the trenches, and I

420
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: know that's where San Francisco likes to win two. But

421
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: if you give me a team that can be so

422
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: physically overpowering at home as a three and a half

423
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: point favorite, that is always going to be the side

424
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: to take. And while the Lions came back and made

425
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: it a close game and for a lot of people

426
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: ended up backdooring on the spread against the Niners, the

427
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: Niners were winning that game handily. And that's what fans

428
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: are going to see. They're going to see that they

429
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: scored forty one on the Lions, and that's what carries over.

430
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: That's why the number is even inflated as it is.

431
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: So give me the Eagles plus three and a half. Also,

432
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: there is some practicality here. The cornerback situation for the

433
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Niners is not great. It's not and so they're depleted

434
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: in addition to whatever locker room turmoil there is. And

435
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: if you break it down, Jimmy Garoppolo is good, but

436
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: he had moments in that Lions game. It didn't go

437
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: as well as they should have, and so I'm all

438
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: over the Eagles at plus three and a half. By

439
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: the way, emerging young receivers Philadelphia. The Niners lost their

440
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: first or second best corner verat so yeah, that's another

441
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: reason to take Philadelphia. Here's one bill, very good team,

442
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: sloppy Week one, swallowing three and a half at Miami

443
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: Dolphins plus three and a half. The number is telling

444
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: me to take Miami. My instincts are telling me that

445
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo will bounce back, but the number is saying Miami.

446
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: So explain the side you're on to our audience, because

447
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: you are the square and I am vulnerable for going

448
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: with my gut. I'm a little like George Bush, the President.

449
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't read the pamphlets. I kind of go with

450
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: my gut too much. Yeah, the gut should tell you

451
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: that you want to take Miami. Well, no, my gut

452
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: tells me Buffalo, but the number tells me Miami. If

453
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: you were a sharp, the gut would tell you take Miami.

454
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Because it's a little the line is a little bit off. Essentially,

455
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: the bookmakers would line this at three, right. The handicappers,

456
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: the professional betters. The wise guys, they would say bills

457
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: minus three. It's three and a half if you're getting

458
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: that half a point off of a key number three,

459
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: sometimes four, seven, ten. Those are the key numbers that's

460
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: that would games land on. If you think that a

461
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: game is line to three and you can get the

462
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: half point, you take the half point, you take the

463
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: team that is at home as an underdog at three

464
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: and a half. Here's something else that's interesting that's come

465
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: up a lot on the Favorites, which is the podcast

466
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: that I do with professional better Simon Hunter for the

467
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: Volume podcast network. What's been interesting is how the legal

468
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: betting markets and the money coming in and how people

469
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: bet is impacting the point spreads because there's a lot

470
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: more money coming in that is casual betters that are

471
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: new to betting, and they are betting on public teams

472
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: who are popular, and so it's giving the underdogs bigger

473
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: spreads than they would normally have. Last week underdogs when

474
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: twelve and four underdogs won nine of sixteen games outright.

475
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: So you're talking about an opportunity in which most time

476
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: the sharp side is going to be the underdog side

477
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: because bookmakers are inflating the lines because they know they're

478
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of public money coming in

479
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: on the favorite. I want to throw one more at you.

480
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in a very giving mood, you

481
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: know what I think. As I age, I'm more of

482
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: a giver than a taker. So I'm going to give

483
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: America this one. So the Buccaneers won, but actually played

484
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: very poorly. They had penalties, they had four turnovers. They're

485
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: minus twelve and I never bet those numbers. But the Falcons,

486
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: and this is disturbing. Even bad Falcon teams have scored

487
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: at home in the Matt Ryan era. That was either

488
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: his first or second worst performance at home on that track.

489
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: They usually fast track, they play well offensively, they were abysmal.

490
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers with extra time to prep play poorly, and

491
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: one Brady with extra times always been good off buys

492
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: playoff games. It's a ridiculous number, But am I ludicrous

493
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: to think twelve is should not frighten people? And that's

494
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: a big favorite that could win. It could be an

495
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: ugly one. I think there's a twelve and a half

496
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: point favorite this weekend that I'm a big fan of,

497
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: but it is not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Right, why

498
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: it's the Cleveland Browns. I feel like, look, this is

499
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing where we'll know who's

500
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: right and who's wrong at the end of this game,

501
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: and after the first two weeks, we will have a

502
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: better sense of what the first week told us. Right,

503
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's an awkward phrasing of a sentence, but

504
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: everyone reacts to week one. I tend to try to

505
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: find the opportunities in which people are overreacting to week one,

506
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: and I am going to make the case that the

507
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: Falcons were not as bad as we thought they were

508
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: in Week one. The Eagles were extraordinarily good and they're

509
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: still not being given credit for it. I think the

510
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: Falcons ran into a really good team that we're going

511
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: to see at the end of the year is much

512
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: much better than we think. And it's a first year

513
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: head coach who is getting his feet wet and probably

514
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: was really nervous, and that game plan was not very

515
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: good and his received the Matt Ryme's receivers were not

516
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: getting open. The Bucks secondary is a little bit banged up.

517
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: I think with another week of preparation for the Falcons

518
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: and an injured secondary for the Bucks, you're getting a

519
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: better opportunity. Plus the line is so inflated because of

520
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: the Bucks being the Bucks and then winning in prime

521
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: time and the Falcons losing the way they did, So

522
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: I think you're getting a little bit of value there.

523
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: That was interesting. Take Well, this is easy. So what

524
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: we'll do every week, I'll give you eight or nine

525
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: and I have to search. I'm going to go far

526
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: and wide. I know three games I'm taking and I'm

527
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: leaning with a fourth. But that's why I do this

528
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: because my takeaway, as I told you last week, is

529
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't make my final picks until Friday morning because

530
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: I wait for COVID stuff, I wait for injury stuff.

531
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: And I learned a lot Milman, I really did. I

532
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: felt i'd learned a lot here today. So Steelers Panthers,

533
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: who was the other one? You were? We were locked

534
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: in on Colts, Steelers Panthers and Colts. Yeah, those are

535
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: my Those are the three I like. I gotta tell you,

536
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: Colts Steelers Panthers an interesting one for me. Really interested

537
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Jimmy Garoppolo being honest and acknowledging publicly.

538
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm making the most of it. You know, it's It's

539
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: always the argument, if a couple argues in public at

540
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: a party, what's the ride homelike? If they can't contain

541
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: themselves publicly at a party like a couple and they're

542
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: arguing publicly, what do they like driving home? What do

543
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: they like at home? If Garoppolo can't contain himself on KNBR,

544
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: then there's some anxiety in the room. And by the way,

545
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: most of the Niner players are on garoppolo side. Nothing

546
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: against Trey Lance, but they went to a super Bowl

547
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: with Garoppolo. He's a good looking guy, a lot of confidence.

548
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: He's a baller. They like him. He's an alpha. They

549
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: like him in that locker room, and so I And also,

550
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: I think the one thing about Philadelphia, it's an interesting

551
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: it's an interesting narrative that was set up. Greg Kosell

552
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: told me something on Thursday today and it was really interesting.

553
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: He said, what Philadelphia did a really exceptional job at

554
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: is many of the early plays by the offense were

555
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: one read plays, r pos, empty backfield, spread the defense

556
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: out where there was a pre meditated pres side to

557
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: go to for a young quarterback, and one early read.

558
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: He said later in the season that may not be

559
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: the case next year, it's not, he said, but they

560
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: set him up Jalen Hurts to do things he did

561
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: well and make the decisions almost pre snap. This is

562
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: what we're doing. And Cosell said it was really smart coaching.

563
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: They that Sarah Yanni knew what Jalen did well and

564
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: just kept going back to it and Atlanta could never

565
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: stop it. It was and he said, you know that

566
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: that's the classic get your players, find their strengths and

567
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: play to it. And Greg on film said, they really

568
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: said this is what Jalen does and we're just going

569
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: to keep doing it until they can stop it. And

570
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: he said it was really, really impressive. He also said,

571
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: two years ago this was the slowest offense in the NFL.

572
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: He goes on film. They are significantly quicker than two

573
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: years ago. There's real speed on this offense, including Jalen Hurts,

574
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: the receiver from Alabama, Riager, the TCU kid. So it

575
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: listening to co Sell really kind of shifted the way

576
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: I saw this game. I still struggle with Nick Serriani

577
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: because he fumbles around talking to the media, and I

578
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: have verbal bias. If people that speak poorly, I tend

579
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: to think less of them. It's a terrible habit. But

580
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: the president, Sean mcvagh is slick. I think he's slick, right,

581
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: he fools me. If you're good at the mic, I

582
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: think you're You know. That's why if it was up

583
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: to me, I'd hire a televangelist to run my company

584
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: and I'd end up, you know, a train wreck. Yeah, listen,

585
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I used to be beholden to

586
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: the slickness. As I've gotten older, I find I just

587
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: want substance. I want to build everything from the inside out.

588
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: I have more respect for everybody doing that than anything else.

589
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: You give me a organization, no matter what it is,

590
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: whether it's Google or YouTube or Action Network or volume,

591
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: build on the fundamentals. First, build from the inside out.

592
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: Build the foundation, then add in all the stuff that's

593
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: going to be sort of shiny bobbles. If that's what

594
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: the Eagles are doing. If the Eagles are building the

595
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: foundation and their head coach doesn't know how to speak

596
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: to the media, but he knows how to speak to

597
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: his players, and he knows what's important for them to win,

598
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: I'll buy that. I may have completely whipped on Sirianni

599
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: because I read but the stories I've wrote. When Coachell

600
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: said that, to me, it was really it was really impactful.

601
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: He's like, they really figured out what Jalen Hurts does,

602
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: and they distilled it down to a handful of things,

603
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: and they just kept going to it, and Atlanta had

604
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: no answer. Listen, mobile quarterbacks ask Nick Saban in college,

605
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to get your arms around him. I always

606
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: hear this, Oh, people wait till they figure out Lamar Jackson. Yeah,

607
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. You're not going to figure

608
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 1: out the fastest quarterback ever. I can't believe you haven't

609
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: done this take yet. I don't want my coach to

610
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: be the guy who's got instagram worthy shots at the

611
