Speaker 1: It, dude. There's so much emotion flooding, so many memories

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: to unpack. This is what's beautiful about sports. So many

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: things are beautiful about sports. It's why we do this,

00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: we are very passionate fans at heart of the teams

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: that we root for, and a lot of people who

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: we are connected within our universe are aware of how

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: passionate we are about sports and the teams that we

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: root for. Between the end of the game last night

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and when I woke up this morning, I had more

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: than two hundred texts from people congratulating me on Indiana

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: winning the national title. And I just think that's amazing that, like,

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: there's so many people who understand, like the connection that

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: we all have to sports, that they would see Indiana

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: winning and know how much I love Indiana and be

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: texting me about it. I didn't have that many people

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: reach out with night kids right like. That is astonishing

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: to me. Yesterday was so freaking glorious and again sort

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: of in the theme of sports. Let me sort of

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: put some stuff in context for you here. So I

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: had mentioned on the show that, you know, I had

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: gone to Atlanta with my buddy Matt. We've been best

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: friends in second grade, right, Me, Matt and our buddy Andy.

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: We've all been grown up together. We went to grammar

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: school together, middle school together, high school together. We all

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: went to IU. Matt and Andy went to the Big

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Ten title game. Me and Matt went to the game

36
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and then Andy met us in Miami for

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the championship game along with Matt's wife, and my wife

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: was here. So on Monday morning, me and Matt and

39
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: our wives are sitting together at breakfast. And Matt and

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: I both started dating our wives in college, and Matt

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and I were in college together. We met these women.

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: We met our wives studying abroad. They are very close friends.

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: We have had family vacations with all of our kids,

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: who are all in the same age age seven straight

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: spring breaks. Because they're in California, we're in Connecticut. The

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: spring breaks lined up. We are very very close. There's

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: no distance between us as families. Right at one point

48
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: yesterday morning and again, we had watched the Bears game together.

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: We were so antsy about that, but like the Bears,

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: we sort of we loved and they gave us a

51
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: great ride, but we didn't have expectations. And in the

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: morning at breakfast, it's about new let's say it's lunch.

53
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Lisa's mom passed away recently, my wife's dad passed away

54
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years, and they start having

55
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: this very intense conversation about grief and how they're trying

56
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: to process it but still take care of the parent

57
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: who was still alive. And in the middle of that,

58
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I look at Matt and I'm like, what do you think.

59
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: He goes, We're fucked. We completely disconnected from this very

60
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: deep conversation because I said, he said we're fucked. I go,

61
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: we're not. And what he was talking about was the

62
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: karma the Bears had lost the night before. He thought

63
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: the karma of our fandom was going to be connected

64
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: to the Bears losing and now Indiana was going to lose.

65
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: We had a good fifty team minute conversation about is

66
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: the karma connected to us or is the karma connected

67
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: to the teams? And the way it finally came down.

68
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I broke it down this way. The Bears they had

69
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: great karma this year, but they were not a team

70
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: of destiny. Their loss is not connected to our fandom

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: in Indiana's success or failure, because Indiana is better than karma.

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: They can outrun karma. They are not about this small

73
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: school that didn't do well, that doesn't have a football history.

74
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: Chris Signetti put all that aside. He said, this whole

75
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: narrative is rat poison. They are about the six seconds

76
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: that matter in the play and then what happens next,

77
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: and those players are not connected to each other. We

78
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: went through this whole thing. Our wives are having this

79
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: very intense conversation. This was our entire focus. We had

80
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: completely transitioned to putting ourselves in the mental mindset to

81
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: be at that game, to be fully committed to that game.

82
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Thirteen hours later, we're in the car leaving the stadium

83
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: and I just go Matt he goes, Yeah, I go, Matt,

84
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: he goes, You're right, the karma was not connected. I

85
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: feel like anyone who is a sports fan, tell me

86
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: you can feel that, tell me you understand that, because

87
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: like my whole day was about like peak sports fan.

88
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: It was just freaking glorious.

89
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all that stuff can matter to you,

90
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: but you know, doesn't really matter when when people praise

91
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: God the end of a football game. Was God really

92
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: reason they won that football game? But I think at

93
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: the end of the day, Kurt, then yes, yes, you

94
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: saw in that game the difference the right coach with

95
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: the right quarterback can make. Like I always say, and

96
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: that call on what was it fourth and two or

97
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: maybe it's fourth.

98
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: And five, fourth and five?

99
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: You know, it's like that, even if you said it

100
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: was a read, it was either gonna be a sneak

101
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: or like a quick pass. And I think he broke

102
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: it down where the defense was basically split and you

103
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: had to make a quick decision. You know, that was

104
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: we're playing to win. I'm not kicking the three here.

105
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: Either we get burned here, we get stopped, or we

106
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: were going for a touchdown. And you know, signetti talk

107
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: all the time, about how important coaching is, Like, I

108
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: just I can't believe it. You know, I'm gonna let

109
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: you basking it. I know you said, well, you already

110
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: turned down Penn State. There's no way he's going to

111
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: the NFL. I just can't get over how good of

112
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 3: a coach is and how there are nine opening jobs

113
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: right now, one of which could easily be filled by him.

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 3: But you know, if I'm an INDIANAFN, you know it's

115
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: gonna be tough to replace a quarterback, obviously, but if

116
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: he stays, it feels like this is just the beginning,

117
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: which is just crazy to think you guys becoming a

118
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 3: powerhouse in college football. But to go sixteen and zero,

119
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: to do that something we've never seen before. And you know,

120
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: in that game wasn't their best game, right, There's a

121
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: lot of things they did stop slopily, but all three aspects, right,

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 3: the defense showed up in the first half, the special

123
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: team showed up in the second half, and at the

124
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 3: end of the game when you needed the drive, you

125
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: needed the touchdown. You know, it's it's crazy. I can't

126
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: I still can't believe it, Chad. I'm honestly just like you,

127
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm still in shock that the Indiana Hoosiers are the

128
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: first sixteen to oh team in college for plaedistry and

129
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: won the national titles. So, yeah, congrats to you, buddy,

130
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: And I'm just happy you went down there, because it's

131
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: you know, it's as a as a fan that has

132
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: been to a Super Bowl that his team lost and

133
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: I've never gone back. It's it's a huge risk, buddy.

134
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you that that walk out

135
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: of the stadium isn't just a twenty minute walk to

136
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: your car, It's a five month walk through your life.

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: So I was so happy they won because the whole

138
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: time I was thinking, oh my god, poor Chad. Miami

139
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: has the ball, they're driving. It's on six points. They're

140
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: gonna get the touchdown here to win this game. And

141
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: like I said, the coaching matters. He took a random

142
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: time out let the defense reset led Beck in his

143
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: head say hey, I'm gonna take a deep shot here.

144
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna beat these guys in that time out and

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: threw a horrible pass in a double covered And yeah,

146
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: just again, I can't get over how great of a

147
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: coaching matermind it was. And Fernanda Mendoza your QB finally

148
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: dropped an F word. I was just so happy. I

149
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: was so happy you hear him drop that at the podium.

150
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: It's just I'm excited for Man again. It's gonna highly debated,

151
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: we'll talk about in the draft, but in that moment,

152
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: it's like, Man talk about being on the top of

153
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: the world, being your hometown team. Oh my god, they

154
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: rejected you. Life full circle. It was a beautiful moment.

155
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: Listen, it's so funny that you mentioned that walk right

156
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: because we were sitting in that game and the oh god,

157
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: we were sitting in that game, and you know the

158
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Hoosiers head first, we thought it was a first down

159
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: with just after the two minute time out, and then

160
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: they made it a second one. And then we're even

161
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: happier because we're like, okay, second one, Like they get

162
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the first down and we're in great position. Miami has

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: to start using all this time out so they'll get

164
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: the ball back with sixteen seconds left and we'll to

165
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: kick a field goal and be up six, right, and

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: then that false start happens, and we immediately looked at

167
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: each other and we're like, we just lost the national championship.

168
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: Because everyone could see how it was going to play

169
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: out like they We're going to end up having like

170
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: one hundred and two seconds, and that's plenty of time

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: in college football if youre getting first downs. So yeah,

172
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: we were starting to envision that walk back. But like

173
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: you talk about investing in teams and going to the

174
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: games and taking that risk, you know, we spend so

175
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: much time rooting for these teams and like loving these

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: teams and loving investing our time and our energy in

177
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: these teams, and like every season ends in disappointment for

178
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: every fan except for one team. And I felt that

179
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty four hours earlier with the Bears, And like, you know,

180
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: as we mentioned the last episode at as Matt Mitchell

181
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: reminded us, it's only through suffering that we feel most alive.

182
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: But to one of the biggest losers is this would

183
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: be the Cardinals winning a two years from now, the

184
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: biggest joke loser franchise, just totally getting the head coach

185
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: and turn around. I literally I'm in shock. I can't

186
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: get over it.

187
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: It is true.

188
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: I called my younger son after the game leaving the stadium,

189
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: and like, was so caught up in my feelings. I

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: just told him, like I cannot wait for him to

191
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: have this kind of experience. I don't know when it's

192
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: going to happen. I don't know what it's going to

193
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: happen when he's in college. I don't it's gonna happen

194
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: when he'sut of college. Don't know it's gonna happen when

195
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: he's in his fifties.

196
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: Like me.

197
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: I want it for him so bad. I want him

198
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: to feel this in person. It is such a freaking high,

199
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Like I haven't even felt like a functioning human being

200
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: for the past two weeks, between getting organized to go

201
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: to Atlanta, going to Atlanta that unbelievable experience, and then

202
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: turning around to decide and we're going to Miami without

203
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: even having tickets yet, and then hard Rock coming through

204
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: for us, which, by the way, in all seriousness, like

205
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: they crushed it. I was in Florida. I downloaded the

206
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: app and was online in the app in thirty seconds,

207
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: like this was a no joke, unbelievably good product. And

208
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: then I did go to the casino yesterday. A lot

209
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: of people probably saw the video that I posted. It

210
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: was bonkers. It was like being in Vegas. It was

211
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: glorious inside the casino in the sportsbook was rocking.

212
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: So before we move on, are you are you? Is there? Parade?

213
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: Is how they do it? For the who'shreason?

214
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I don't know. I can't. I

215
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: can't go to the parade somewhere. I've got to get

216
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: back to life. And by the way, Kirkwood in Bloomington

217
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: last night was literally on fire. Like what you know,

218
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: my buddy Matt, the Poles, I didn't see them grease

219
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: and polls, but my buddy Matt, his kid is a

220
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: sophomore in Indiana. He was just sending videos to us

221
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: while we were in the car driving back, like of

222
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: all the video like the craziness that was happening at

223
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: the bars. It was people were camping out, like the

224
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: bars that I used to go to in college. People

225
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: that started camping out the night before to get in.

226
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: And those are other colleges. They're probably like thirty forty

227
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: year olds.

228
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Dude. They were charging three thousand dollars for a table

229
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: to watch the championship game at some of the bars

230
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: of Bloomington last night.

231
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: Now, you guys have a huge alumni. Man, It's it

232
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: is wild final thing.

233
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: I'll said. There is just an argument that Indiana just

234
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: had the greatest college football season of all time, as

235
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned, first team that's sixteen or oh since eighteen

236
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: ninety four, second best point differential of all time, had

237
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: the Heisman winner, top five defense, top five offense, beat

238
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: Iowa on the road, beat Oregon on the road, beat

239
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Penn State on the road, beat the number one ranked

240
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: defending national champion Ohio State. Buck guys in the Big

241
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: Ten title game, as you pointed out, the only team

242
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: so far in the playoff era to win coming off

243
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: the buy, which shows you how good their coaching is.

244
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: And they dominated Alabama Oregon and then beat Miami in Miami,

245
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: and I would say it felt like a home game

246
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: for the Hoosiers, Like easily sixty five percent of the

247
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: stadium was Indiana. Like you could see the line Miami

248
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: maybe had from the fifty to like the back of

249
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: one end zone. Indiana had from the back of that

250
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: end zone all the way around to the other fifty.

251
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: It was remarkable how many Indiana fans are. It's just

252
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: just glorious. Meanwhile, just being slapped back to reality, Simon, Yeah,

253
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: one and four in the contest again last week. This

254
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: is our first one and four back to back weeks

255
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in our history, bad beats, bad calls mixed together. Bad

256
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: calls by us, by the way, not refs. I'm no

257
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot. I'm not complaining about the rest by bad

258
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: beats and bad calls did us in loss with Seattle,

259
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco under forty five and a half, New England

260
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: Houston under forty and a half, San Francisco plus seven

261
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: and a half, the Rams minus four and a half,

262
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: one with New England minus three and a half. In

263
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: our nine week hard Rock Bet contest, we are now

264
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: fifty three and forty seven with two weeks left. Let's

265
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: look at the leaderboard. In our sharp Square Pro Football contest,

266
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: four entries are now tied at the top of twenty

267
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: five wins. The entry named Roe Pomo sits on top.

268
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell looked up their tiebreaker differentials. The top two

269
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: entries are separated by under one hundred yards, so it's

270
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: going to be a dog fight to the finish folks.

271
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: Good luck.

272
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: This is our Tuesday Conference Championship Round show. We're done

273
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: with Chat's choice for the season. We're basically done with

274
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: our named bets. But Simon, you do have a Simon says,

275
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: so we'll get to that. We have a brass balls.

276
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: We'll have our normal Tuesday Thursday shows through the end

277
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: of the season. We'll do our normal Sunday pre kickoff.

278
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: We will do our Sunday night show after ram Seahawks.

279
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: These will be our final Sunday episodes. As always, we

280
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: do not do Sunday episodes on Super Bowl Sunday. We'll

281
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: have the four regular episodes over those two weeks. Okay,

282
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: final order of business. This week's slate includes sides and

283
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: totals for the conference championship games if you are in

284
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: love with these games. As we teased, we've also added

285
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: player props, one per team, all hands selected by Matt Mitchell.

286
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: We'll mention each one as we get into the show.

287
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: And of course we can't start without a word from

288
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: our friend Matt Mitchell about the Buffalo Bills doing the

289
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: right thing and firing Sean McDermott. Matt, what do you

290
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: got to say here?

291
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: I am surprised at how universally negative the reaction has been,

292
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: mostly from Bills fans because of the ascension of GM

293
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean to basically president of football Operations in a

294
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: move reminiscent of Tom Donahoe's disastrous ten year as president

295
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: twenty five years ago. I shouldn't be surprised, because only

296
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: a loser fan base like ours could see a bad

297
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: thing happen and a really good thing happened and think

298
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: that no good things have happened. They don't seem to

299
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: remember Sean McDermott running, among a million other mistakes, a

300
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: fake punt with Zamar Hamlin with the season on the line.

301
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: I would have thrown him over Niagara Falls with my

302
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: own hands after that play, and he still got the

303
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: coach and kind of rehabbed his image a lot this

304
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: year with a pretty lousy roster.

305
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: But I am not a.

306
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: Disciple of the cult of very good. The Bills are

307
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: very good. They've been very good for six years. I

308
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: am happy to slide back into the depths to spin

309
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: the wheel and perhaps become a championship team. The fact

310
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: that the players liked him a lot. I couldn't imagine

311
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: something I care less about than the players liking the

312
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: coach if it's a non championship coach like the Eagles,

313
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 4: seem to absolutely hate their coach's guts, and he's made

314
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: it two super Bowls and he's one one. We have

315
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: teams like the Patriots win super Bowls, totally bottom out,

316
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: hire a coach, fire a coach, get a whole new quarterback,

317
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: and have already exceeded our own success in the time

318
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 4: it's taken us to try to get to a super Bowl.

319
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: So like it feels ludicrous to be too upset about this.

320
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 4: And the last thing I'll say is, I'm seeing some

321
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: of the Bills mafia leadership selling a mug that says

322
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 4: Buffalo versus the refs, maybe one of the biggest loser

323
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 4: pieces of such a If everyone listening to this, if

324
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: you see me drinking out of that mug, it's because

325
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: it contains the elixir that will end my life. That's

326
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: the only excuse for drinking out of something like that.

327
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: If you're a Buffalo Bills fan, Guys, we got it.

328
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 4: We got to get our heads right and start worrying

329
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 4: about things that matter, like one championship before we all die.

330
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chip, Thank you Mad From the high to

331
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: the low. Let's get into it. New England at Denver,

332
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: this game at hard Rock Bet. I looked it up

333
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: this morning on the hard rock bed app Denver plus

334
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: five and a half the total is forty two. Look,

335
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: obviously the story here is Jared Stidham starting for bon Nix.

336
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: Line hasn't really budged since Sunday night. There's actually one

337
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: five out there, and there's there are a couple of

338
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: totals at forty one and a half. Salmon, I want

339
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: to ask you, like I thought if Bonix was starting

340
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: this line one and a half for two, you know,

341
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: a seven point swing, what do you think?

342
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: Simon says, give me the Denver Broncos. I want to

343
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: play a game.

344
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Simon says, I.

345
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: Might be putting my life savings on this Broncos team

346
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: with this number. Chat, this is how egregious this line

347
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: movement is in Wow. Yeah, it's it's too much, way

348
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 3: too much. As much respect as I'm giving to bon Nicks,

349
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: I do think.

350
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: He is a reason they are where they're at. He's

351
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: been great this year.

352
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: But I had them at a minus three and a

353
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: half point favorite, the Broncos over New England. We even

354
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: with their injuries to the wide receiver position. You're you're

355
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: telling me bow Nicks is worth eight nine points.

356
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: It's not. It's impossible.

357
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: This is just simply public overreacting investing way too much

358
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: money into just a horrible number. And you know, right

359
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: away when I saw this matchup, it's like, Okay, we'll

360
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: see you know. Can I just be patient because I

361
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 3: didn't want to say anything Sunday night. I knew right

362
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: away I'm gonna be hamming this one. I remember you

363
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: had something about Stidham and like I was messing with you,

364
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: but it was really like, okay, can this get the six?

365
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 3: And we just literally I was gonna put an obscene

366
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: amount of money on this if it ever got the six.

367
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 2: So I still might.

368
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm just grabbing the five at f now because there's

369
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: no way that professionals don't come in and just hammer

370
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: this line.

371
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we've seen it start to go down.

372
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: Me and Chat talked a little bit about it.

373
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 3: Is much praise I gave Drake May ready through three touchdowns,

374
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: it wasn't impressive. Their offense could not do anything against

375
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: that Houston defense. Now, do I think Denver's defense is

376
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: as good as Houston?

377
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: No, I do not. I do think they can get

378
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: after a quarterback.

379
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: And what have we seen so far early in Drake

380
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: May's career here chat against good defenses, seems like he

381
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: struggles to protect.

382
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: The ball, and let's just run through it again.

383
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a non biased stat two games Drake May,

384
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: he's taken ten sacks. Ten sacks again, that's yeah, that's

385
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: good defenses. He's fumbled six times, Chad, not just many fumbles,

386
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: six fumbles, and he's throwing two picks like he's just

387
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: he struggled to exactly what we thought he would struggle

388
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: right against good defenses. My whole view of that was just,

389
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: you know, last week, I thought that was a really

390
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: tough spot for Houston to walk into.

391
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: I did not I had no idea. Cesn't have to

392
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: tip a meltdown. But that's what really saved Drake May.

393
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: Right, New England fans, they should be happy, right their quarterback,

394
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: this this new toy. He did throw those three touchdowns

395
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: despite all those bad turnovers and how slotpy he played,

396
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: he showed up in the red zone.

397
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: So I get why they're so excited.

398
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: The public though, to come in with the Patriots fans

399
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 3: on this one and overreact totally to that game, and

400
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: I mean they've left the Broncos for dead, totally left

401
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: for dead. Just yeah, the media is talking about it

402
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: and it's another play where we don't have to take

403
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: the Broncos money line.

404
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: If you I am obviously gonna bet it.

405
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: It's the move here is simply taking the Broncos at

406
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: thirt you know, thirteen to one for the Super Bowl.

407
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: That's what they're at in a lot of books, like again,

408
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: they're deader than dead. They're thirteen to one and all

409
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: if they would he was winning two games. You will

410
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: never see these odds again ever in the rest of

411
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: your life because this is so unique. We've never had

412
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: a conference champion teap team. I think they've been a three.

413
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: Point dog before over three points, never in my lifetime.

414
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: And I looked Evan Adams, It's never happened before. So

415
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: this is totally unique.

416
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm about to hit people over the

417
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: head with thousands of stats because that's you know, I

418
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 3: want something to back it up here. But just strictly

419
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 3: being a better here, people, you have to understand this

420
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: is said that you need to blindly make always like

421
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: when you see this type of number with a backup quarterback, Yes,

422
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: if this was a backup quarterback who was their first

423
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 3: year in the NFL, I wouldn't be as confident about this.

424
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: We talked about he's played games, right, I know he's

425
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: won in three his career, but he's played in games

426
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: he's faced NFL competition. Now, I know this is the

427
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 3: first playoff start, which is an ideal, but it's like, Okay,

428
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 3: this is the guy that's been in Champaign's offense now

429
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 3: for two years. You expect him to be comfortable enough

430
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 3: to make plays against the Patri's defense that yes, they

431
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: are good, right, They've had good turnovers these last two games.

432
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: I really think the Chargers and Houston they are both

433
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: in my rankings and the bottom thirty of offensive lines

434
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos number two. This is night and day between

435
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 3: what you can do scheme wise, and you know, New

436
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: England's defense looked like world beaters.

437
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: I mean, let's be honest here, they've had a lot

438
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: of help.

439
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: With the weather and the I mean just pissport quarterback play,

440
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: which once again, you can say it's all about the defense,

441
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 3: but come on, CJ was so bad in that game

442
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: you can't just simply say that was defensive place.

443
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: So Chad's gonna love this one.

444
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: We got burned earlier in the playoffs fading the Carolina

445
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 3: Panthers at a nine point dog at home if the

446
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: line closes at anything above three and a half for

447
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: this Broncos team, or four, I should say, in the

448
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: last fifty years in the playoffs, dogs of four points

449
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: are more at home in the playoffs.

450
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: I don know.

451
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: Against the spread, they just don't lose. So we've seen

452
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 3: it right. The public has overreacted. This number opened at

453
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: three three and a half, immediately, got seemed to four,

454
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: immediately got seem to four and a half.

455
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: Now it's at five and a half at a couple

456
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: of different books.

457
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: So you know, I again, I'm trying to be patient here,

458
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 3: but every book maker I know is gonna be calling

459
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: me up begging me to bet Broncos for him, because

460
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: it's just going to be all Patriots money.

461
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: They're just gonna be hammering it. And you know, I

462
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: usually go and roll over my tickets.

463
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 3: I've just been letting my Patriots money sit out there

464
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: because I'm gonna go those books and just take all

465
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: that money roll it over in this process team that's

466
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: and this is probably my biggest bet of the playoffs.

467
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: I thought Newland was going to be I just cannot

468
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: believe this number is growing to five and a half

469
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: chat Wow at this point.

470
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I'm inspired, and I was with you. It

471
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: just seemed like too much of an overreaction. The evidence

472
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: we need lies in a man named Nick Foles, who

473
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: had a glorious tweet supporting the Broncos and their fans

474
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: about what is possible when a backup comes in. Obviously

475
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: he had a little bit more of a run at

476
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: the end of that Eagle season, which you're aware of,

477
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: but they still went through the playoffs as pretty big underdogs.

478
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: And I remember this very clearly. We had just launch

479
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: action in January of twenty eighteen in the middle of

480
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: those playoffs, and we rode the Eagles all the way

481
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: through the Super Bowl saying take the Eagles at five

482
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: and a half. Take the Eagles at five and a half.

483
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: So it's Jared Stadem. We have no idea, but it's

484
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good example of what can happen. He has

485
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: been an NFL quarterback. And don't forget Jared's Didham thought

486
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: he was good enough that when they drafted bo Nicks

487
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: and immediately named him the starter, he was really pissed,

488
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Like he is not a guy who's thinking I'm coming

489
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: in and I'm going to be a placeholder like maybe

490
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: say Ben Denucci, who was analyzing the game, I think

491
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: for ESPN and then tweeted about the Broncos and then

492
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now he's a backup for the

493
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Broncos playing in the AFC title game. Like you're seeing

494
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell if you're watching the video on YouTube, he's

495
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: throwing up the tweets from Nick Foles and Ben Denucci.

496
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: But wow, what a game. I'm with you one hundred percent.

497
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: Are we are totally aligned?

498
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: And people ask you, is there is he even worth

499
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: betting the Super Bowl future? Because again, I love the

500
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: number enough that's gonna be my biggest But obviously it's

501
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: really just about Champayne. Champagne is actually really good as

502
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: a dog in his career. He's twelve and ten straight

503
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: up when he's listened at a home underdog in any

504
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: game in his life. So basically, if you've bet one

505
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: hundred bucks since he started being a home dog, you'll

506
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 3: be up seven hundred and forty four dollars. I mean,

507
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 3: even this season, he's two and zero straight up as

508
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: a home dog. He beat the Packers and the Chiefs.

509
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: Thank you, Evan abramsl was a great, great pulling. You know,

510
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: just looking at all these matchups, it's like, Okay, there

511
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: has to be some negatives, right, and there is right.

512
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: The first one that jumped out to me was, okay,

513
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: what the Broncos did just play an overtime game, which

514
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: again we're gonna get to the Rams game obviously, but

515
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: the status can jump right away is well. One we

516
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: always talk about it's really tough to play playoff games

517
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: and when you add in the overtime just to wear

518
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: and tear that is that extra quarter on guy's bodies.

519
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 3: You hear expayers talk about it. It's brutal because you've

520
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: already played eighteen nineteen weeks of football. Now you're playing

521
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: an extra quarter on top of that another game, and

522
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 3: it just adds up because it's usually short week for

523
00:26:59,040 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: some of these teams.

524
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: Right. Luckily for this Brockers team, they did play on

525
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: the Saturday. But I'll just go to the steat anyway.

526
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 3: Since twenty fifteen teams off of bye I mean off

527
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 3: an overtime game facing teams that did not play an

528
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: overtime game, they are ten and eighteen straight up, eleven

529
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 3: and seventeen against the spread. So you know, plays into

530
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: what people think here, which is it's really tough to

531
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: play after a playoff game.

532
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: Another amazing staff from m Arams.

533
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: In the playoffs, when a team wins a playoff game

534
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: and now they're in the next round of a playoff game,

535
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: they're zero to five straight up one and four. I

536
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: guess it's spread since twenty fifteen, losing by fifteen points

537
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: per game. So I'm not saying it's it's not gonna

538
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: beet uphill battle right both these teams.

539
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Oh wait, what's the context for that stat you just gave.

540
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I didn't hear it.

541
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: The context is if you play an overtime game, then

542
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: you have another playoff game the next game.

543
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Got it.

544
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: The historical fact is our zero to five straight up

545
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: in one and four since twenty fifteen. And you know,

546
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: if you want to go back even further, which I

547
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: think luckily Evan did thousand since two thousand and two,

548
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: teams are just six and thirteen straight up in the

549
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: playoffs in this exact spot. So it's really hard. It's

550
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: really hard to really get that far up on Denver.

551
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: That's why it's like, don't you don't have to take

552
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 3: the money line. The straight up number is so tough.

553
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: Just just take that future on the Super Bowl future

554
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: at thirteen to one. But to me, the number that's

555
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: the key here. I'm really wanting to get people hammering

556
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 3: this five and a half number. I think that's that's

557
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 3: the key is the Patriots could win, right, Drake may

558
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 3: has been perfect this season, has not lost the road

559
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: game this year.

560
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: He's eight.

561
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: No, straight up, can they steal it White get a

562
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: field at the end of the game. Neither of us

563
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: would be shocked. But to me, that's where we talk

564
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: about the lines move too much. Three and a half

565
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: is right for this game. Five and a half. You're

566
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: getting two free points here. And I again, I can't

567
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: tell you how excited I was to see this one.

568
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, this is I love Bennett. And then as

569
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: soon as I saw those trends from Evan which I

570
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: gave out the top of the show, that plus four

571
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,959
Speaker 3: dog nine to zero last fifty years, It's like, oh

572
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: my god, this is just lining up. The public is

573
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: going to get absolutely crushed on this one because there

574
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: were just going to keep hitting this Patriots. Yes, I'm

575
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: giving out time, it says, just in case the pros

576
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: you come in and bet this down below four, but

577
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: you know five and a half that just feels a

578
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: good gift.

579
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: Do we have opinion on the total? Forty two at

580
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: hard Rock, forty one and a half other places, you know,

581
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos had a little The Broncos were ten and

582
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: eight to the end of this year. They had a

583
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: stretch where they were just giving up loads of points

584
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And it's one of the reasons

585
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: why we liked, ultimately like the over after some back

586
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: and forth waffling this past weekend, because they do give

587
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: up points in the fourth quarter when they have those moments.

588
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that's not likely to happen in this game.

589
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots were what were they hold on? Twelve and

590
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: seven to the under. One of those unders was the

591
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: last game of the season against the Chargers when no

592
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: one was playing for the Chargers. So do we have

593
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: a feeling on the under here?

594
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm honestly thinking towards the over. I'll be patient.

595
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: Another thing where I'm not going to rush to bet

596
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: it here on a Tuesday for a Sunday game and

597
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: an atmosphere or Denver that we have no idea that

598
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: what the weather could be. I mean, I don't a

599
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: huge chat, but people are going crazy. I might look

600
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: like we might get the once in a lifetime blizzard

601
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: on Sunday. So I don't know how that affects the

602
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: rest of the country on Saturday or Sunday or what's

603
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: gonna be going on in Colorado obviously, But for this one,

604
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: it's just like I said last week. If if they

605
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: show Denver and you see it's sunny, thirty five degrees

606
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: out with barely any wind.

607
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: You play the over like it's just whatever that is.

608
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: It's usually a track meet in Denver when it's it's nice,

609
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 3: cool player like that, and both these quarterbacks I think

610
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: could turn the Bowl over. Like watching Sedem's tape, he

611
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: does make great throws, high risk type of thrower. He

612
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: will try to take that risky play. We'll see if

613
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: Champayne beat that out of him these.

614
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: Last two years.

615
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: But a lot of these guys are what they are,

616
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 3: and as as good as I think he is as

617
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: a downfield thrower, he does like to take high risks.

618
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 3: So I already gave you those Drake maystats. He's been

619
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: highly turnover prone. Now going up against once again a

620
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: really good defensive line the flip side, you know, instead

621
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: of his first star. We've seen New England be really

622
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 3: great at turning teams over right now, you expect a

623
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: lot of short fields, so you know, to me, early

624
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: bets I see coming on the over I could see

625
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: professionals coming on the over here, but I could see

626
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: the public shooting towards the owner just because they're like, well,

627
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: backup quarterback two. Good defense to be low scoring, but yeah, Mari,

628
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: now makelnation is going to go the other way.

629
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: Could be a high sporting type of game.

630
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: Well, look, we wanted to mention a couple of player

631
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: props from this game. You just mentioned turnover, Jared Stadham interceptions.

632
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: We don't have to give an opinion on this yet.

633
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: His over owner is going to be set at half.

634
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: Drake May passing touchdowns, the over owner is going to

635
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: be set at one and a half in the contest.

636
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,960

671
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: the totals forty seven and a half. Pretty much locked

672
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: in at two and a half since Sunday night. A

673
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: little bit of money coming in at hard Rock because

674
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: it's at minus one twenty two and a half minus

675
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: one twenty, so we're seeing money coming in on the Seahawks. Simon,

676
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of interesting comps here, and I

677
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: want to run through sort of the circumstances for each

678
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: of the games that these two teams have played, they

679
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: split the division series. So this is the third time

680
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: to play in this year. I really want to bet

681
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, and I feel like I'm visualizing and imagining

682
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: the Rams at their peak, and too often this year

683
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: the Rams have brain farts, like they have these moments

684
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: where Matthew Stafford is missing and Sean McVay is playing

685
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: either conservatively or not aggressive enough for making bad play calls.

686
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: He've admitted he wasn't making great calls on on Sunday night.

687
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: Anyone who watched that game saw they dominated when they

688
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: ran the ball, they struggled when they were trying to

689
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: pass the ball, and he could not get his team

690
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: to commit to the run. So am I wrong for

691
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: wanting to commit to the Rams? Here?

692
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: Simon says, Now, I I'm with you.

693
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm says presented by Hard Run.

694
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 3: Back Emilia was gonna absolutely hammer the s Yhawks team

695
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: just because the like you've said, the bar is just

696
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: set so high. I think you're at the same level

697
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: as me where I've set the bar so high that

698
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: it's tough for them to even live up to that bar.

699
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: And every week they've kind of fallen short of that bar. Yeah,

700
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 3: you know they're Also, this is the first time ever

701
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: a team has not covered in the wild card round,

702
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: the divisional round and are still alive here in the

703
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 3: in the conference championship.

704
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: So this rams team.

705
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: As much grief as you want to get them, it's

706
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 3: it's hard to want to go against them because they've

707
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: just they figure out a way, they find a way

708
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: to win these games. And the regular season they kept

709
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 3: finding ways to blow games. So I'll give them respect.

710
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: Like that Panthers game, easy could have lost that game.

711
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 3: Your Bears game, they tried, I my god, did they try?

712
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 3: They give Caleb the chance to end them at the.

713
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: End there, Oh my god, did I try?

714
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 2: The defense found a way to get the turnover.

715
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: So it's just going to pass by my TikTok trend

716
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: shout out. Okay, that's fine.

717
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I'm and I'm a grown man.

718
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't have TikTok. I'm sorry, buddy.

719
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: Well, all I've done for the past twelve hours is

720
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: watch Indiana TikTok practically in tears when like they've got

721
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza's touchdown run set to like a prayer from Madonna.

722
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: And at the end you see his mom in the

723
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: wheelchair like crying hysterically, and the dad who won't stand

724
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: in cheer out of respect, not being able to stand

725
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: in cheer, and They're hugging and crying, and then I'm crying.

726
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: And then I send it to my friends. I send

727
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: it to Andy and Matt and I'm like, you, guys

728
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: are not going to be able to not cry at

729
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: the end of this. So yeah, I have TikTok because

730
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: it keeps me engaged with my community.

731
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: I got cold in my heart every time they showed

732
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: her with does I think they had the kids miked

733
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: up for the game cheed? Obviously you missed it because

734
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: you were there, And I was just like, my god, yes,

735
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: they told you. I hate the collegeway college football.

736
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: Does.

737
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 3: We're like Gus Johnson thing that kid was living in

738
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 3: a car last week. Now I scoring a touchdown and

739
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 3: they always have to try to make you cry.

740
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: I hate it. They always try to get you in college.

741
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I put you on a bad path. I

742
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: apolog Jazz. Were you were about to tell me why

743
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: we're not betting the Rams, which even though I want

744
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: to when.

745
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: I'm right there with you when you said that. That

746
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: was my initial thought to you, because it's I think

747
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: you're the same thought as me. It's that same as

748
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: the Broncos. Who is not going to be hammering the Seahawks.

749
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: Who's betting the Rams? Nobody? Like I said, they've not

750
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: covered now last two weeks, they haven't looked right in

751
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, eight weeks, like you said, they they

752
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: they kind of putter it out here at the end

753
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 3: and it's like, well, they've had a brutal run. This

754
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: will be their fourth straight road game, Like that's just

755
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 3: I know Arizona shouldn't count because it was before the playoffs,

756
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 3: but it's like, that's still a road game. They still

757
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 3: had to go on the road. That's nothing to poop

758
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: poo about. Like that's that's really hard. Like I said,

759
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 3: after eighteen games already, you know, eighteen weeks, I should say.

760
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: And now they have another three straight road games and

761
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 3: this one, you know, just again, let's just go off

762
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: the lazy stats. An extra day of rest, could that

763
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: even matter that much? Shed Yes, that's what I'm trying

764
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: to beat into people's heads here, how worn out all

765
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: these players are. Just an extra day of rest or

766
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: a wretch a rest advantage team in the conference championship

767
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: twenty seven and seventeen straight up if the team's at

768
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: home with the rest of advantage twenty one and seven,

769
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: So that twenty one and seven straight up.

770
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: So that goes for the Seahawks in Denver.

771
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: Like both of them already at an advantage just being

772
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: at home in this exact spot. And you know, the

773
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: more I try to go into it, the more I'm

774
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 3: trying to find the reasons to bet this Rams team.

775
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: It just can we talk about the injuries, right they

776
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: might be down their number one and number two quarterbacks,

777
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 3: which I don't know if Sam Donald can exploit, but

778
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: I definitely saw it.

779
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 2: The way the Bears exploited it was they could not tackle.

780
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: I think they had twenty broken tackles in that game

781
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 3: against the Rams, which is by far the most the

782
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: Rams have given up all season. Like, that's just not

783
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: the type of defense they run. Usually, they're very well coached,

784
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 3: well tackled team. What you've seen when these backup cornerbacks

785
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: are coming in, you know, they don't want to lay

786
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 3: the thump on these running backs right there, their cover corners.

787
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: There's a reason they're not starters, not not only because

788
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 3: it's not great at covering, but sometimes not great tacklers.

789
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean, how many times did your running backs break tackles?

790
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: And now you know, obviously huge blow to the lost Charbonne, which, yeah,

791
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 3: if you haven't been found with the Seahawks this year,

792
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: I know you might look at the statue like, well,

793
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 3: he's not been that impressive. He has this rare ability

794
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: to find the end zone in the in the red zone,

795
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 3: like he just always would fund the end zone. And

796
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: that was the big reason they've used this so much

797
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: down there was those tough yards you'd always fight through.

798
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 3: It was just a different style of running. And you know,

799
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: now they're down to still a great running back, but

800
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 3: it was a big deal, right, they had a two

801
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 3: headed horse that they've leaned on these last couple of weeks.

802
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: I mean Stafford that Stafford Donald's probably thrown for three

803
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 3: hundred yards in ten weeks. Like they've just totally leaned

804
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 3: into the run game and this defense then the season here.

805
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: And it's carried them.

806
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: So looking at this matchup, you know, as bad as

807
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: Darnald's injury as I think what we talk we talked

808
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: about last week, I think get twelve completions were and

809
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: seventeen past the ten they were able to hide it

810
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: right that that that game toldly went their way. This

811
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: game they won't be able to But it's another week

812
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 3: of rest on that oblique like, I think that is

813
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: gonna help him. And obviously, you know, I think Shane

814
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 3: Han sold him out, like talking about him getting shot up.

815
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: They'll do the same thing here, right, They'll shoot him up.

816
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 3: He won't be able to field it anyway. And you

817
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: know all these numbers I keep going through with this

818
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 3: RAMS team, Can they win this game? Yes, we've talked

819
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: about they've it's really hard in your division playing the

820
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: same team three times, and you know this this is

821
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 3: gonna be the toughest matchup of the Sawks of face.

822
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 3: But I feel like it's too much Overcumchad, all the

823
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 3: road games, all the injuries. It's just eventually gotta pop

824
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: up on this RAMS team. So I'm interesting what the

825
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: pros are gonna do with this number, Like I already

826
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 3: know the pros are gonna be with Mother Broncos I

827
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 3: really am to see what they're gonna do with this one,

828
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 3: because to me, you saw ten, maybe eleven of the

829
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: twenty books here in Jersey hit three and then some

830
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 3: group came in and hammered the Rams because every book

831
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 3: went right back to two and a half. So I

832
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 3: can't wait to find out more by the time we

833
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 3: get the Thursday show, what's going to that one?

834
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 2: But right away I know it's it's boring, it's shockey.

835
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: But I like both the home teams.

836
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: I like the Broncos, like the Seahawks, especially Seahawks at

837
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 3: two and a half. But I'm just being pated on

838
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: this one because it's if there's that much resistance of three,

839
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: maybe we get back to the one and a half,

840
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 3: which is what this number opened up with the Seahawks.

841
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: So it's a number ernother number.

842
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna patron on see if it does come down,

843
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: and see what the professionals doing this one. But I mean,

844
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: everyone's gonna see these trends I've talked about. Everyone's gonna

845
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 3: see these trends against the Rams. It's just it's a brutal,

846
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 3: brutal schedule for them to overcome and talk about the NFL.

847
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 3: I know they don't care, they're just trying to get

848
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 3: the TV product, but to have the Rams play Sunday

849
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 3: night and then an overtime game.

850
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just so brutal.

851
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: Now they have to go on the road and play

852
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: a Seahawks team that basically rested all their starters in

853
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, so they haven't really played a full

854
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: four quarters in three weeks. It's just it feels like

855
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: it's too much Chad. So yeah, it's people can see.

856
00:41:59,120 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: I really love this one.

857
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: I really, I really am interested whe the number goes.

858
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: Look there's a lot of comps from those two games

859
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: where the Rams really did. I'll play them in a significant,

860
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: significant way. I'm with you, though, It's why I haven't

861
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger like I want to be on the Rams.

862
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: But part of me was waiting to see if we

863
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: can get to a solid three. And also part of

864
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: me feels like it's a little bit off because I'm

865
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: imagining something that might not be there in a consistent way.

866
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you talking me down a little bit here.

867
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: I have not give a staff from Evan just just

868
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: talking about these road teams. So it's a third consecutive

869
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: road game in the playoffs. So teams in this exact spot,

870
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: this in the regular shoes, even the playoffs, they're forty

871
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 3: eight and seventy nine straight up, so thirty seven percent,

872
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: which is what you're looking at success rate or win rate.

873
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: For the Rams here.

874
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 3: When the team is lists un dog, which is what

875
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 3: the Rams are, they are twenty two and sixty seven

876
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: straight up, so even worse, twenty four percent. When we're

877
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, it's the third straight road game in

878
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs, those teams twelve and thirty straight up, so

879
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 3: twenty eight percent. That is nine and twenty eight straight up,

880
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 3: so twenty four percent. When their list is an underdog,

881
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 3: like it's just you blind the guy to bet the

882
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 3: Seahawks here, Like it's just all the numbers back up

883
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: exactly where're talking about the rest is arities too much.

884
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 3: And you know, I think, Chatty, you nail at the

885
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: top where I think it's because I'm the same way

886
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 3: where I had the ramp power rate it so high

887
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 3: coming into the I think that was week twelve or

888
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 3: week thirteen right.

889
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 2: Now, way I love everyone else, it's really come way

890
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 2: back down.

891
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 3: And after last week with the Seahawks and that performance

892
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 3: for their defense, I did bump them up to be

893
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 3: the number one team, right and it reflected I think

894
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: the books have them as maybe is a plus one

895
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 3: hundred a plus one ten super Bowl favorite right now,

896
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 3: which makes total sense. Like, of all the teams left,

897
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 3: they are by far the most complete team despite all

898
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: the questions of the quarterback position. So yeah, it's crazy

899
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 3: to think I'm talking about a Stenham versus Darnold super

900
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 3: Bowl here, but I think that's where we're looking at here.

901
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: Brother, all right, we'll get more into the total. I

902
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: want to dig in a little bit more on the

903
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: comps from those two games and see if anything sort

904
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: of moves us aggressively.

905
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: Under Again, you said we'll talk more about it. I

906
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 3: just like the mother total. I have no early play

907
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 3: here in the week. I just I've been both sides

908
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: early here. But on the total, for me, I'm not

909
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 3: rushing about it.

910
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: The player prop Jackson Smith and Jigma total touchdowns over

911
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: under a half. Matthew's staff for the longest completion will

912
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: be over under thirty nine and a half. Those will

913
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: be in the contest. Listen, we got three games left

914
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: in the season. Indiana University are the national champions in

915
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: college football. It has been a wild January. I got

916
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: to get back to a little bit of a normal life.

917
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone coming along for the ride. I appreciate Hard
