- 1:20Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I am Chat Melman, Chief content officer of the Action Network.
- 1:28Speaker 1: We are starting off week thirteen in the NFL post Thanksgiving.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I am joined as I am in every episode by
- 1:37Speaker 1: my co host, my companion, my compadre, my BFF professional
- 1:42Speaker 1: better Simon Hunter. Hello, swim in Chat out you doing, buddy.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We're going to speak in English accents for the entire
- 1:52Speaker 1: show in honor of the US playing Iran in the
- 1:56Speaker 1: World Cup, because football is in English game. We tied
- 2:02Speaker 1: England over Thanksgiving? Simon, how did that make you feel
- 2:06Speaker 1: as a citizen of both countries? As a bridge made
- 2:10Speaker 1: me feel properly embarrassed as an American. Made me feel
- 2:13Speaker 1: pretty proud to see the USA. I don't know, not
- 2:16Speaker 1: not dominated game, but they kind of did right. It
- 2:18Speaker 1: felt like they took a table in that whole match. Again,
- 2:21Speaker 1: nothing surprising here. America is very big. England's a little
- 2:25Speaker 1: island that somehow conquered the world. At one point. It
- 2:29Speaker 1: we should beat them, but yeah, my household was definitely
- 2:31Speaker 1: split I would say, uh, a lot of curse were
- 2:34Speaker 1: thrown around early on in that match, but it is fun. Again,
- 2:40Speaker 1: as as a fan of sports, you only get it
- 2:44Speaker 1: every four years, Chad, like you said, the World Cups
- 2:45Speaker 1: every four years. So having a unique experience of having
- 2:49Speaker 1: the World Cup with Thanksgiving it was interesting. I don't
- 2:53Speaker 1: know if I like it, but it was definitely interesting.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I preferred in the summer just because it's something else
- 2:58Speaker 1: to do. But listen, it's a great event. And by
- 3:01Speaker 1: the way, welcome to everybody who's listening on AMP Quick Recap.
- 3:04Speaker 1: On week twelve, before we get to week third team,
- 3:07Speaker 1: we were two and three in the contest. We lost
- 3:09Speaker 1: the foxhold Saints and plus nine and a half. Simon says,
- 3:12Speaker 1: was Jack's plus four we won that. The exact decision
- 3:16Speaker 1: was Atlanta plus four and a half lost that. Since
- 3:19Speaker 1: the minus one and a half was the Big Balls
- 3:22Speaker 1: scoot roulette, you had the Paths plus three you lost,
- 3:25Speaker 1: I had since minus one and a half I won
- 3:28Speaker 1: our final five Jags plus three and a half, Jets
- 3:31Speaker 1: minus six and a half, Atlanta four and a half,
- 3:33Speaker 1: Seattle three and a half, Saints nine and a half
- 3:36Speaker 1: Atlanta Saints fucking excruciating ex screw she aiding, just like
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Saints especially look that game exactly as we thought
- 3:49Speaker 1: it would go. We thought the Saints would have a
- 3:51Speaker 1: chance to keep it close, certainly within the nine and
- 3:54Speaker 1: a half points. Alvin Camara fumble on the one yard
- 3:58Speaker 1: line trying to get into the into the end zone,
- 4:02Speaker 1: turnover on downs with two minutes left, pick that the
- 4:06Speaker 1: Saints returned to the five yard line, only to have
- 4:08Speaker 1: it nullified by illegal hands right the same defensive back
- 4:13Speaker 1: who committed a flagrant personal foul to put the fort
- 4:18Speaker 1: in scoring position to score the field goal to put
- 4:21Speaker 1: them up thirteen nothing. It was terrible. It was fucking terrible,
- 4:26Speaker 1: along with Seattle not being able to stop Josh Jacobs
- 4:30Speaker 1: and having every chance to cover that game, and then
- 4:32Speaker 1: Atlanta that turnover at the end with the tip ball,
- 4:36Speaker 1: when you're on the goal line and you have been
- 4:39Speaker 1: going down the field running the ball with one of
- 4:42Speaker 1: the most dynamic players in Cordell Patterson, and you decided
- 4:45Speaker 1: to put it in Marcus Mariota's hands. Simon Simon, it
- 4:50Speaker 1: makes me forget about the fact we didn't get jagged.
- 4:53Speaker 1: We got lucky in that one, and that the Cardinals,
- 4:56Speaker 1: who we both had at plus one, at plus three
- 4:58Speaker 1: or plus four or whatever. We also lucky with that one,
- 5:01Speaker 1: but fuck, it was a brutal day. It was brutal. No,
- 5:05Speaker 1: I mean, that's just gambling. It makes you appreciate the
- 5:07Speaker 1: good weeks. Brother, there, we're two thirds the way done,
- 5:09Speaker 1: so it's a little sad, and we have one third
- 5:11Speaker 1: of the season left. But I look at it as, yeah,
- 5:14Speaker 1: the bounces just going our away. So I take a
- 5:17Speaker 1: little bit the blame of the sense that those are
- 5:19Speaker 1: your two babies, the Saints in Atlanta. But I agreed
- 5:21Speaker 1: with it. I liked it where you were coming from.
- 5:22Speaker 1: They're both good dogs. Where I screwed up was should
- 5:26Speaker 1: have taken the Browns. Like I feel like we talked
- 5:27Speaker 1: about earlier in the week. We're both on it. And
- 5:29Speaker 1: since he yeah, the since he one sucked because I
- 5:32Speaker 1: got scared off about a really smart group coming in
- 5:35Speaker 1: on them. Did we get lucky on that one? Sure? Alright,
- 5:38Speaker 1: Tennessee missed a field goal that game probably should have
- 5:40Speaker 1: landed on one that would have been a brute, brutal beat.
- 5:43Speaker 1: But the Saints one just irked me the worst of way,
- 5:46Speaker 1: because what all this stuff you also said happened where
- 5:49Speaker 1: they missed all these opportunities, but the the missed field goal,
- 5:53Speaker 1: the kicker stuff just kills me. It's like you have
- 5:55Speaker 1: the easiest not the easiest job, but it's it's literally,
- 5:57Speaker 1: do your job. Hit a thirty nine yard field goal
- 6:00Speaker 1: and we just needed one more field and would we
- 6:02Speaker 1: would have covered that number because then it was a
- 6:03Speaker 1: thirteen nothing game. So that was one of those where
- 6:07Speaker 1: I was hoping we would get to the three and two.
- 6:09Speaker 1: I was kind of on the Saints because as soon
- 6:11Speaker 1: as that Seahawks game started, like even we talked beforehand,
- 6:15Speaker 1: it felt really public. Um. The usually was just going
- 6:18Speaker 1: the wrong way, like Geno Smith was throwing picks. Like
- 6:21Speaker 1: you said, Jacobs is running. So this week, you know,
- 6:24Speaker 1: it feels like a good week to bounce back. There's
- 6:26Speaker 1: a lot of good matchups we like. And I talked
- 6:29Speaker 1: to you all the time, Jenn. If our worst weeks
- 6:31Speaker 1: or two and three, it's a pretty damn good year.
- 6:34Speaker 1: So through twelve weeks, we're still at sixty seven percent
- 6:37Speaker 1: for the season, still in the money. We need a
- 6:40Speaker 1: good week here though, just because we got lucky. Everyone
- 6:42Speaker 1: else had a bad week last week. So I only
- 6:45Speaker 1: lost a game. I thought we were gonna drop a couple,
- 6:48Speaker 1: but the leader only went four and one, three and two,
- 6:50Speaker 1: so we're we're in a good spot still. I feel
- 6:53Speaker 1: pretty good about the Jags a plus seven fifty to
- 6:55Speaker 1: win the a f C South, Like you look at
- 6:57Speaker 1: what they have, don't do this, don't even stops speak,
- 7:00Speaker 1: and you're gonna drink this team. They still play the
- 7:02Speaker 1: Titans twice. I think. I like their schedule. It would
- 7:05Speaker 1: be interesting if they somehow did it. But yeah, it's
- 7:07Speaker 1: it'd be pretty crazy from the official season. I don't
- 7:10Speaker 1: hate it. I don't hate it. All right, It's Week thirteen.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Here we go on Thursday night. We have the Buffalo
- 7:18Speaker 1: Bills four and a half point favorites over the New
- 7:21Speaker 1: England Patriots. Patriots are getting sixty percent of the money
- 7:26Speaker 1: this month. This line has moved down from five and
- 7:29Speaker 1: a half of the bets on the Bills. We got
- 7:32Speaker 1: a pro joe match up here. If I'm leaning one
- 7:36Speaker 1: way or the other, I leave. I'd lead New England
- 7:40Speaker 1: plus four and a half at home. Short week. It
- 7:43Speaker 1: rarely does. It rarely doesn't work out to go into public.
- 7:45Speaker 1: But I'll finally give in. I'll jump on the public
- 7:49Speaker 1: side for this game. I hate it because I want
- 7:52Speaker 1: to take a divisional dog at home, but we are
- 7:55Speaker 1: taking into like you won't take your Yeah, I just
- 8:01Speaker 1: don't know if the Patriots have done enough to stop
- 8:05Speaker 1: with Josh Allen does so well. I've seen them play
- 8:08Speaker 1: two running quarterbacks this year. You know, justin fields dead
- 8:11Speaker 1: against them, Chad. We we can't just simply throw that out.
- 8:15Speaker 1: So that's my fear right now, where it's everything in
- 8:18Speaker 1: my body. All the numbers as well, like this number,
- 8:21Speaker 1: I make it force. I'm getting value right now. All
- 8:23Speaker 1: in the Patriots screams for me to take the Patriots
- 8:26Speaker 1: in this game. But there's just something about this Bills
- 8:29Speaker 1: team that I think They've had a couple of letdown
- 8:32Speaker 1: spots here, but it's been more so about their defense
- 8:35Speaker 1: has been letting these teams back in. And I know
- 8:37Speaker 1: Mac played incredible against the Vikings, but this is not
- 8:40Speaker 1: a good matchup for him against the Bills team that
- 8:42Speaker 1: kind of takes away what he likes to do, which
- 8:44Speaker 1: is he's a type of style pass or you liked
- 8:46Speaker 1: to throw against his own The Bills don't run the
- 8:48Speaker 1: zone that often, and I know they looked, you know,
- 8:51Speaker 1: human against that Detroit team indoors there. But this is
- 8:56Speaker 1: finally going to be back in their element outdoors playing
- 8:59Speaker 1: an ugly divisional games. So I'm not gonna make it
- 9:01Speaker 1: one of our four because I already know Chad he's
- 9:04Speaker 1: doing a smart thing. Like you, you always take divisional
- 9:06Speaker 1: home dogs in these spots. It's gonna be good for you.
- 9:08Speaker 1: But I just I can't trust his Patriots defense where
- 9:12Speaker 1: I've seen them perform very well against bad quarterbacks, but
- 9:16Speaker 1: I've seen them getting torched by good quarterbacks, and especially
- 9:19Speaker 1: in mobile quarterbacks. Like not saying justin fields all world,
- 9:23Speaker 1: that's just such a huge advantage if you're another team
- 9:25Speaker 1: has slow linebackers and you're running quarterback, anytime the play
- 9:29Speaker 1: breaks down, you can take off. So Josh Allen every
- 9:33Speaker 1: week they say his arm has been getting better. Um,
- 9:35Speaker 1: you see him as a couple of throws last week.
- 9:37Speaker 1: But I do think he's improved. He has improved as
- 9:39Speaker 1: the weeks. I've gone a long here. They should have
- 9:41Speaker 1: lost that Detroit game. I think in the public's mind
- 9:43Speaker 1: they did lose it. So, uh, you know, I'm not
- 9:47Speaker 1: gonna overreact to what happened last week, and I'd probably
- 9:49Speaker 1: go Buffalo here. All right, Well, we're definitely not gonna
- 9:52Speaker 1: be the same side here. Yeah, you're going by the book.
- 9:57Speaker 1: I'm going by the book. By the way, I not
- 10:01Speaker 1: for nothing. I went by the book with the Lions
- 10:03Speaker 1: plus ten and you're like, no way, and the book
- 10:07Speaker 1: was right. I'm proud of you for winning that one
- 10:11Speaker 1: bet last week. Oh fuck you, motherfucker victory laughs. By
- 10:16Speaker 1: the way, Cincinnati, I was all over since you waved
- 10:18Speaker 1: me off that because of the fucking wise guys like
- 10:21Speaker 1: don't give me this, don't don't do not come after
- 10:26Speaker 1: me and try to be sympathetic and be like, oh,
- 10:28Speaker 1: I'm a professional guy. I had playing games I liked.
- 10:32Speaker 1: You waved me off. That's fine, it happens. We're in
- 10:34Speaker 1: a partnership here. I act like you've been there before.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Jesus Titans plus five and a half visiting the Eagles.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I love the Titans here, um mistake, Yeah, alright, genius,
- 10:53Speaker 1: tell me, tell me it's stinks. This Lions stinks. The stinks.
- 10:58Speaker 1: The stinks. Why is this not three wise? It is
- 11:00Speaker 1: not three and a half. The Titans want to run
- 11:02Speaker 1: the ball. The Eagles cannot stop the run bizarro world line,
- 11:06Speaker 1: So walk right into the fucking trap chat with the
- 11:08Speaker 1: rest of the public. Take the Titans, everyone's going to
- 11:12Speaker 1: I wanted to. I immediately was like, yeah, give me six,
- 11:15Speaker 1: thank you, and we've seen a drop, which makes you
- 11:17Speaker 1: feel great, right if you get the six nights five
- 11:19Speaker 1: and a half. But this line stinks the holy hell.
- 11:22Speaker 1: I don't know why this isn't closer to three three
- 11:24Speaker 1: and a half. That makes more sense, the babe. The
- 11:28Speaker 1: book is over valuing the Eagles still, but I don't.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I don't see that this Titans team has been winning
- 11:33Speaker 1: people in money. That was their first non cover cover
- 11:35Speaker 1: last week and seven straight weeks, so the public is
- 11:38Speaker 1: on the Titans. The public does not trust the Eagles.
- 11:40Speaker 1: The Eagles, I agree with people saying they got lucky
- 11:42Speaker 1: last week. It felt like they did. If Rogers didn't
- 11:44Speaker 1: go out, they probably weren't going to cover that game.
- 11:46Speaker 1: So me, I'm with chat right away. I wanted to
- 11:50Speaker 1: take the Titans. They're just rabel as a dog. I
- 11:52Speaker 1: blindly take the number and I take the money line. Um,
- 11:55Speaker 1: this week, I will take the Eagles in a matchup
- 11:58Speaker 1: that I think their defense is gonna get it right.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Against a team that is just simply take away the run.
- 12:05Speaker 1: What the hell is Tannehill gonna do? We've seen the
- 12:07Speaker 1: time time again. This guy cannot make the plays you
- 12:09Speaker 1: need him to make. So I'll back my Eagles here
- 12:12Speaker 1: as an under six point favorite. Titans uh, one of
- 12:18Speaker 1: the better running teams. Eagles bottom five against the run.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Eagles like to use the run. Titans best rushing defense
- 12:28Speaker 1: in the NFL. Mike Rabel, I think we've agreed. Top
- 12:33Speaker 1: five strategic coach in the NFL. He knows the rules,
- 12:38Speaker 1: he knows what his team is. He doesn't try to
- 12:41Speaker 1: get them to be what they're not. They believe in him.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Uh against the spread in his career as a favorite,
- 12:51Speaker 1: as an underdog of three or more. Um again, Like, dude,
- 12:58Speaker 1: you're going rogue two straight games, two straight games. You
- 13:02Speaker 1: are defined every precedent, every rule, everything that we know
- 13:08Speaker 1: about making smart decisions, embedding and betting the other side.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I'm curious. I wrote the book, Chat, that's the issue. Well,
- 13:15Speaker 1: actually no, I wrote the book it when you grew
- 13:19Speaker 1: in New York best sellers. The book I wrote. That's
- 13:21Speaker 1: not something on paper. Chat. Yeah, Well all I know
- 13:24Speaker 1: is right now, I'm making a note. I'm making a
- 13:26Speaker 1: note how much you love the Bills. Simon loves the Bills,
- 13:35Speaker 1: loves and Eagles. Chad loves New England and Tennessee. So
- 13:42Speaker 1: now we know, just take a step back. Don't realize
- 13:46Speaker 1: this line was plus two last week? Are the sports
- 13:50Speaker 1: books your friends, Chad? I didn't know that. Are you?
- 13:52Speaker 1: Are the sports books here just to give you money?
- 13:55Speaker 1: So you should be worried when they're out here being
- 13:57Speaker 1: like no, let's move this line from two across the
- 13:59Speaker 1: key number of three up till key number of six.
- 14:02Speaker 1: So again the pros, I think that's a smart play.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Hit in the six on the Tennessee. I agree with it.
- 14:07Speaker 1: It's fishy, fishy, fishy line, just telling people to be careful.
- 14:10Speaker 1: You're the books are not your friends. You know who's
- 14:13Speaker 1: my friend? You? Even when we're even when you know
- 14:19Speaker 1: you try to make me upset, We're still going to
- 14:21Speaker 1: be friends. Um, you know the Packers. I don't even
- 14:26Speaker 1: know he's playing quarterback for this team. I don't even
- 14:28Speaker 1: know he's playing quarterback for the Bears. Uh. But we're
- 14:32Speaker 1: talking about the Packers and the Bears, and the line
- 14:35Speaker 1: at Fanuel right now is Packers minus four. Look this
- 14:40Speaker 1: Bears team. I think Darnel Mooney out for the year,
- 14:45Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson injured, their signing safeties off the street, Justin
- 14:49Speaker 1: Fields separated left shoulder. They're still saying maybe he'll play
- 14:53Speaker 1: this weekend. Shut it down. Shut the whole fucking thing down.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Don't win another game, a really good draft pick. Get
- 15:02Speaker 1: what you need on defense, get what you need on offense.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Protect justin Field. We've seen enough about what you can
- 15:08Speaker 1: do to game plan for him. Start building towards the
- 15:11Speaker 1: next year. Don't be heroes. I don't. Yeah, I feel
- 15:18Speaker 1: like the Lions kind of telling us that Rogers will
- 15:20Speaker 1: most likely to be back now. That's moving that way, um,
- 15:23Speaker 1: which is also dumb for Green Bay. What are you
- 15:25Speaker 1: guys playing for as well? You should be trying to
- 15:27Speaker 1: get a good draft pick and showcasing Jordan's love like
- 15:31Speaker 1: this would be nice for you guys to move along
- 15:33Speaker 1: or move away from Jordan's love. In the sense that
- 15:36Speaker 1: you gave Rogers the deal. You're not getting out of
- 15:38Speaker 1: that money. That's guaranteed money you gave him, just like
- 15:41Speaker 1: sadly the Broncos that gave guaranteed money. You can't just
- 15:44Speaker 1: shift that off the books, and no one's gonna be
- 15:46Speaker 1: buying neither of those quarterbacks, in my opinion. Mean, you
- 15:48Speaker 1: never know. With Rogers, maybe people could say it was
- 15:50Speaker 1: just injuries and he had no talent around him. I
- 15:52Speaker 1: think we all can agree he just hasn't looked the
- 15:54Speaker 1: same this year. Um. So in this matchup, I'm kind
- 15:58Speaker 1: of with chat where I want to take Green Bay
- 16:00Speaker 1: that I feel like the Bears they've really reached that
- 16:02Speaker 1: point of the injuries catching up to him. I think
- 16:05Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson's now against shut down um, who's arguably their
- 16:09Speaker 1: best player this year on defense. He's a road too.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I love I love his style. I'm watching him on tape.
- 16:15Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's just all bad for the Bears team.
- 16:18Speaker 1: They've just they've kind of you know, not that they've
- 16:21Speaker 1: they've they've given away this year. But I think what
- 16:24Speaker 1: you just talked about, they had a lot to rebuild.
- 16:26Speaker 1: They need a lot of pieces, So for them tank
- 16:28Speaker 1: this year, that makes sense. Green Bay, I still think
- 16:31Speaker 1: there's somewhat of hope. So if it is Rogers, that's
- 16:33Speaker 1: the side I'll go with. But sitting here on Tuesday,
- 16:36Speaker 1: we don't know what the quarterback is. Nothing from me.
- 16:38Speaker 1: So I want to remind people because this next game
- 16:41Speaker 1: that we're talking about with the Jaguars and the Lions,
- 16:44Speaker 1: Simon and I were all over Jacksonville a plus seven
- 16:48Speaker 1: fifty to win the a f C South. We were
- 16:50Speaker 1: also all over the Lions over six and a half wins.
- 16:55Speaker 1: We were also all over the Bears under five and
- 16:58Speaker 1: a half winds, and also all over the Jets under
- 17:01Speaker 1: I think six and a half or five and a
- 17:03Speaker 1: half wins. So the Jets is done. We still got
- 17:06Speaker 1: long shots with with the other three, probably more than
- 17:09Speaker 1: probably better than long shots with the Lions and with
- 17:11Speaker 1: the Bears. So this next matchup so many implications for
- 17:15Speaker 1: us personally. Jaguars on the road at Detroit, they are
- 17:22Speaker 1: what are we seeing here? I'm looking at so many
- 17:24Speaker 1: different lines right now. Hold on down the minus one
- 17:26Speaker 1: minus one and a half. Yeah, it's minus one and
- 17:28Speaker 1: a half at fan duel. Yeah, it's coming down the money.
- 17:32Speaker 1: That's it's coming down because the money is coming into
- 17:34Speaker 1: the lines very close splits though, No, no, no, So
- 17:39Speaker 1: basically so this morning, I mean, you did that show
- 17:41Speaker 1: Green Idea, and I'd written in I don't know when
- 17:44Speaker 1: that meeting was, say nine thirties rowed in Jaguars plus
- 17:48Speaker 1: one and a half. By ten fifteen, it already flipped
- 17:51Speaker 1: the minus one for the Jaguars, So I took it
- 17:53Speaker 1: out and put a different team in just a sense
- 17:55Speaker 1: that the value was shifting so quick. I don't know
- 17:57Speaker 1: it was gonna be that time we showed up. So
- 18:00Speaker 1: this is clearly the pros are taking a stance here.
- 18:02Speaker 1: They're coming in heavy on Jacksonville. I was gonna bet
- 18:05Speaker 1: him just because I really loved what I saw for
- 18:07Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I'm sucked. I'm sucked back in chet. It's
- 18:10Speaker 1: just he literally did in that game exactly what I
- 18:14Speaker 1: envisioned him being this season. He's a big body, strong athletes,
- 18:18Speaker 1: smart and get the ball downfield. And that's what you
- 18:21Speaker 1: saw in that final two minute drive. It's really hard
- 18:24Speaker 1: to describe that look, that feeling, but that quarterback style.
- 18:27Speaker 1: That's why he was such a highly touted prospect. Not
- 18:29Speaker 1: many guys can just thread it right down the field
- 18:32Speaker 1: with pace in accuracy like he kept doing in that game.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Tight windows. So they figured it out, hopefully right, that's
- 18:39Speaker 1: what we're all seeing ourselves. Hopefully figured it out. During
- 18:41Speaker 1: the bye week. I don't know if they have. I'm
- 18:45Speaker 1: I'm terrified this number. Where I loved it at one
- 18:47Speaker 1: and a half because I thought that was great value
- 18:48Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Now it's slip the minus one and
- 18:51Speaker 1: a half. That's a little scary back in that number.
- 18:54Speaker 1: That's a big movement, that's a that's a lot of movements. So, um,
- 18:58Speaker 1: another of these games where I was on the Jaguars.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Now I'm not to wait and see and try to
- 19:02Speaker 1: figure out this out better where I could be walking into.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I just feel like the Jaguars is more play here
- 19:07Speaker 1: in Detroit. I love what they've done, but just talent wise,
- 19:11Speaker 1: the Jaguars have more of it. And I still think
- 19:13Speaker 1: that what we saw from Detroit, those coaching was that
- 19:16Speaker 1: should have beat the Bills, like the coaching, those time
- 19:19Speaker 1: out all of it at the end of the game.
- 19:21Speaker 1: That's my that's my issue with Campbell. Like I love
- 19:23Speaker 1: the Robbert Ross stuff, but the technical stuff is a
- 19:25Speaker 1: big issue. So for Doug who's been here, I just
- 19:30Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta keep going like guys and taking
- 19:32Speaker 1: the Jaguars. But I'm not gonna just give it out blindly.
- 19:35Speaker 1: This here on a Tuesday, So I'd wait and see
- 19:37Speaker 1: because you already missed the best of the value, like
- 19:39Speaker 1: the plus one and a half that was a that
- 19:40Speaker 1: was a big deal. Now that it's gone, I'd wait,
- 19:44Speaker 1: but wait for what because it's only probably gonna go. Well,
- 19:48Speaker 1: it's a plus one and a half for the Lions
- 19:50Speaker 1: right now, no clue where it's gonna go though, I
- 19:53Speaker 1: don't know we're just gonna go there. It's too early.
- 19:55Speaker 1: So do I see this every game in the three? No?
- 19:58Speaker 1: But if it does, you bet your ass. I'm on Detroit.
- 20:00Speaker 1: There's no injuries and Detroit's healthy. I will be on
- 20:03Speaker 1: Detroit to plus three because I have this game ready
- 20:05Speaker 1: to pick. That's why a goat. I thought good value
- 20:08Speaker 1: on the Jaguars. Now it's flipped a little bit, but
- 20:10Speaker 1: I just don't want to back the lines. I'd still
- 20:12Speaker 1: still like the Jaguars, but to me, I'd hope to
- 20:15Speaker 1: get it back closer to a pick or at least
- 20:17Speaker 1: minus one, just minus one and a half. I wouldn't
- 20:19Speaker 1: do that that key number. I love the lines so much.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I love betting on this team. I love rooting for
- 20:25Speaker 1: this team. They're the best. They just they bring me joy.
- 20:30Speaker 1: They really do. I might have to end up betting
- 20:32Speaker 1: the lines in that game. Sacra Fans Tournament action is

- 22:37Speaker 1: Watson's Back. Deshaun Watson is back. The Browns came through
- 22:41Speaker 1: for Jacoby Brissette in his last start of the year.
- 22:44Speaker 1: I said to my kid we were watching the game,
- 22:46Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, it's the last half of Jacoby Brissette football.
- 22:52Speaker 1: We're gonna get for a while. We better enjoy it.
- 22:55Speaker 1: We celebrated it. We celebrated it with a big win
- 22:58Speaker 1: at plus three and a half, seven point favorites on
- 23:01Speaker 1: the road. Deshaun Watson returns to Houston. The NFL was wicked.
- 23:06Speaker 1: They're just wicked, you know, making the suspension exactly what
- 23:10Speaker 1: it was to have him come back in his first
- 23:12Speaker 1: game at Houston. Is it wrong to want to take
- 23:15Speaker 1: the Texans here? Well, a lot of fans game, a
- 23:19Speaker 1: lot of love because I yelled at you last week
- 23:21Speaker 1: because you were as timents. We had to take Houston,
- 23:23Speaker 1: I said, I refused, and Miami clearly was the better side.
- 23:27Speaker 1: But that's just one of those where I I get
- 23:29Speaker 1: where Chet's coming from. These Eventually it has to catch up.
- 23:33Speaker 1: The books have to get Houston right. But I'm not
- 23:36Speaker 1: going to be the one to find out when every
- 23:37Speaker 1: week there's value on Houston. Every week they don't cover
- 23:41Speaker 1: because Houston just is bad. They are a bad team.
- 23:44Speaker 1: So I couldn't believe they didn't cover last week either,
- 23:47Speaker 1: Like they got thirty fifteen they had the ball, all
- 23:50Speaker 1: the momentum was on their side. Yeah, that was wild.
- 23:54Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm I I want to be I wanted
- 23:58Speaker 1: back Houston because we all know that Watson's gonna be rusty.
- 24:01Speaker 1: It's going to be weirdest hell for him playing back
- 24:04Speaker 1: at his old stadium in his first game back in
- 24:06Speaker 1: a regular season game and what two years. Yeah, I
- 24:12Speaker 1: don't know. I can't, can't tell the people to do it.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'll be there. I'll do the coward movement.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Just take three and a half the four first half
- 24:20Speaker 1: and just hope Watson comes out rusty, but full game
- 24:22Speaker 1: spread wise, I just there's no way chat on something
- 24:26Speaker 1: that could be like we're getting Houston in the contest.
- 24:27Speaker 1: I just god, no, no, no, no, no, that's what
- 24:31Speaker 1: I mean. That's I want't even give it out people
- 24:32Speaker 1: to bet because it's not gonna make my Big five
- 24:34Speaker 1: betting wise, all right, we still owe people of foxhold assignment.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Says in an exact decision as we run through the
- 24:40Speaker 1: lineup here, I was just thinking about that, I want
- 24:43Speaker 1: to make the Titans. My exact decision was I so
- 24:45Speaker 1: thrown by our conversation in which you're on the Eagles
- 24:48Speaker 1: that I forgot to line them up as the exact decision.
- 24:51Speaker 1: I don't know. I might have to go back to it.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Should do it, and you should say that after you bet.
- 24:54Speaker 1: You got to say in the sports books are my
- 24:56Speaker 1: friends and they want to give me money. You know what,
- 25:01Speaker 1: I don't need your attitude. I don't need you being
- 25:05Speaker 1: mean to me in the spirit of the holidays. The
- 25:09Speaker 1: holidays are over, bitch. Come on, man, the holidays are
- 25:12Speaker 1: coming up. We got Hanukkah, we got Christmas, we got
- 25:17Speaker 1: so much to look forward to. Hashtag gratitude. Come on, Simon.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Jets on the road at the Vikings. Jets are three
- 25:28Speaker 1: point underdogs in a one pm game in Minnesota with
- 25:34Speaker 1: Mike White at quarterback. The headlines. I love the New
- 25:38Speaker 1: York Post. I read it eight times a day. The
- 25:41Speaker 1: headlines yesterday, Mike White is the savior. We got a quarterback.
- 25:46Speaker 1: He threw four touchdowns in the rain against a terrible,
- 25:50Speaker 1: terrible defense that lost the only guy who could do
- 25:53Speaker 1: anything and he wasn't even that good in Eddie Jackson.
- 25:56Speaker 1: So part of me just wants to bet the Vikings
- 25:59Speaker 1: because they should. The six point favorites against Mike White.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Now going to play against a real team on the road,
- 26:05Speaker 1: not at home. I agree, I want to take the
- 26:09Speaker 1: Vikings here. I probably will. I would say the lines
- 26:11Speaker 1: kind of respected to the Jets defense. To me, that's
- 26:15Speaker 1: where the respect is coming from. Where Mike White everyone
- 26:18Speaker 1: else saw that game too, where I mean I was
- 26:20Speaker 1: locked in, we were that was one of our bigger games.
- 26:24Speaker 1: He had a bunch of drop picks and he had
- 26:26Speaker 1: a really tight window throws where the Bears defense were
- 26:29Speaker 1: right there, and it kind of you know, it was
- 26:31Speaker 1: a fifty ball and I would say nine of the
- 26:33Speaker 1: ten of the fifty balls he through, we're caught by
- 26:36Speaker 1: the Jets. The Jets do have good receivers. So um,
- 26:39Speaker 1: looking at this matchup, I feel like Chad talked about it,
- 26:42Speaker 1: where I want to take the Vikings. I like Kirk
- 26:45Speaker 1: at home in these one PM games, especially the fact
- 26:47Speaker 1: that it's Mike White on the road after a huge
- 26:50Speaker 1: win at home. Um, what they went by one, I
- 26:53Speaker 1: mean they kind of Yeah, they dominated the Bears in
- 26:55Speaker 1: that game. So extended rest as well for this Vikings
- 26:58Speaker 1: team after playing on a Thursday. Just a bunch of
- 27:01Speaker 1: little things that make me want to take the Vikings.
- 27:03Speaker 1: But the luck. The only thing gives me, Paul is
- 27:06Speaker 1: our luck metric, where I look at their luck rankings
- 27:08Speaker 1: all the time that we have at our company, and
- 27:11Speaker 1: the Vikings are by far the luckiest teams. God yeah,
- 27:15Speaker 1: it just keeps going their way. So last week too. Yeah,
- 27:19Speaker 1: So we'll wait and see. Maybe we'll be able to
- 27:21Speaker 1: get two and a half. That's the only reason I'm
- 27:22Speaker 1: not making this, my Simon says, because I'm hoping to
- 27:24Speaker 1: get two and a half on it. So just wait
- 27:26Speaker 1: see if the value will come down. Maybe the pros
- 27:28Speaker 1: will do us a favor and bet the Jets. But
- 27:30Speaker 1: it's just hard for me to back Mike White on
- 27:32Speaker 1: the road here after you got so lucky last week
- 27:35Speaker 1: against the Bears team that, like Chad just said, they
- 27:37Speaker 1: got major issues this Vikings team. Their their defense played
- 27:41Speaker 1: bad against uh MAC and the Patriots offense. I could
- 27:46Speaker 1: see them bouncing back after an extended ten days to
- 27:48Speaker 1: get right. Pittsburgh Steelers just beat the Indianapolis Colts. I
- 27:53Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say, uh you and I
- 27:57Speaker 1: at least I I'm a Kenny Pickett fan. I've liked
- 28:01Speaker 1: what I've seen from him. Admittedly did not watch a
- 28:03Speaker 1: minute of the game last night. But I've read the
- 28:05Speaker 1: stories and looked in the box score, and I've just
- 28:08Speaker 1: continued to be impressed with this guy as a gamer.
- 28:11Speaker 1: We love them coming out of the bi against the Saints,
- 28:13Speaker 1: it worked for us. We knew going against the Bengals
- 28:17Speaker 1: it was a bad side, Um, but he still played
- 28:19Speaker 1: really well in that game. I think he's a really
- 28:22Speaker 1: interesting player. The Steelers with t J. Watt are just
- 28:25Speaker 1: a much better team. But the Steelers, like basically it's
- 28:30Speaker 1: the line against the Falcons. I should have said they're
- 28:32Speaker 1: visiting the Falcons right now plus one right now? I mean,
- 28:37Speaker 1: was your initial action just did blindly take the Steelers? No,
- 28:40Speaker 1: let's take the Falcons. Yeah, I would say that was
- 28:43Speaker 1: my first one too, is just to take the Falcons
- 28:45Speaker 1: and a matchup where I do think the Falcons let
- 28:48Speaker 1: one go last week they should have won that one.
- 28:50Speaker 1: They played so well in that game against the Commanders,
- 28:53Speaker 1: they really did. It was like Matt Mitchelly even Texas
- 28:55Speaker 1: about it's like you ran the ball, we down the
- 28:57Speaker 1: field and then you throw it at the end. There.
- 28:59Speaker 1: It just Arthur Smith sometimes, man, he just tries to
- 29:03Speaker 1: be so damned smart. Um, I'm with you, chat, I
- 29:06Speaker 1: really want to take at Landing here, but I just
- 29:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pass on this game this week.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I know that sounds crazy to people because I never
- 29:13Speaker 1: really passed, but I don't really get the value on
- 29:16Speaker 1: this line. To me, I make the game one. Both
- 29:19Speaker 1: these teams, I don't know what I'm getting. Like sometimes
- 29:21Speaker 1: Kenny pickt as incredible halfs and then he'll do nothing
- 29:23Speaker 1: for another half. He's just a rookie that's inconsistent. And
- 29:28Speaker 1: Mary Odin Man, I don't know what I'm getting from
- 29:30Speaker 1: ever like he is, he is a wild card. Like again,
- 29:35Speaker 1: you go through their schedule, they're easily easily could be
- 29:38Speaker 1: leading this division by two or three games, and they
- 29:40Speaker 1: just had so many close games they couldn't pull out.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I like Atlanta as a big dog, like we took
- 29:45Speaker 1: him last week before and a half. That's where I'm
- 29:47Speaker 1: comfortable to Lanta. Anything over three. I'm comfortable to Atlanta.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Anything under three at home against a bad team. Usually
- 29:53Speaker 1: back Atlanta. For some reason, this game is giving me. Paul,
- 29:56Speaker 1: so as you sitting here at two, I just I
- 29:57Speaker 1: don't have an opinion on this one. All right, Well,
- 30:00Speaker 1: that's fair. That's that's fair. You know what's im and
- 30:02Speaker 1: that's fair and honest. That's all we can ask for.
- 30:05Speaker 1: This is gonna sound crazy. The next game up, the
- 30:09Speaker 1: Broncos plus eight and a half visiting the Ravens. Look,
- 30:15Speaker 1: we know the Broncos. They are fucking dreadful on offense
- 30:21Speaker 1: and their defense didn't play great against the Carolina Panthers.
- 30:26Speaker 1: But I do think this Ravens team is in trouble
- 30:28Speaker 1: and offensively they don't look right. Mark Andrews has not
- 30:33Speaker 1: fully recovered from his injuries. Uh, they are missing players
- 30:36Speaker 1: on the edges. Uh, They're running game is really challenged
- 30:41Speaker 1: right now. Lamar Jackson has been wildly inconsistent. That is
- 30:47Speaker 1: a big, big number against a really, really good defense
- 30:51Speaker 1: in the Broncos. Mm hmm, Well, what are we supposed
- 30:57Speaker 1: to do? Like Chad said, we're supposed to take the Broncos.
- 31:00Speaker 1: This is supposed to We're supposed to get in the
- 31:04Speaker 1: foxhole with the Broncos. Oh God, don't do this to
- 31:07Speaker 1: our fans. Don't do this to no you you want
- 31:12Speaker 1: to make it this well, I'm looking down like the
- 31:17Speaker 1: rest of the exact decisions these people, because I'm i
- 31:20Speaker 1: don't think I coun get in the fox with you
- 31:22Speaker 1: on it. I've been making too much money fading the
- 31:25Speaker 1: Broncos and taking the under. It's been one of my
- 31:28Speaker 1: more enjoyable experiences this year. You just take the other
- 31:30Speaker 1: side and you take the under. You're gonna fade the
- 31:33Speaker 1: Broncos at eight and a half. I don't know what
- 31:36Speaker 1: the hell to do with it, because I I they're
- 31:37Speaker 1: sucking me and they're like everything you just said about
- 31:40Speaker 1: the Ravens is so damn sure. That's why I like
- 31:42Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They have major issues. There are left tackles
- 31:45Speaker 1: out and standard Mark Andrews, like you just said, does
- 31:48Speaker 1: not look right. They don't have a true number one
- 31:50Speaker 1: receiver right now since Babman's gone out, So oh god,
- 31:54Speaker 1: Chad's right, like I I should because I haven't bet
- 31:56Speaker 1: this this week, and I looked through the number and
- 31:58Speaker 1: it is good. I got it at six and a
- 31:59Speaker 1: half because again, a lot of injuries to this Baltimore
- 32:03Speaker 1: team right now where denver. Their excuses aren't they of
- 32:07Speaker 1: course every team is injuries, but their excuses aren't injuries.
- 32:10Speaker 1: It's all Russell Wilson. So ah, man, that's my issue here.
- 32:14Speaker 1: It's like, I just I can't do it to people.
- 32:17Speaker 1: He's shown me nothing becauseserve me putting money on him. Um,
- 32:21Speaker 1: And at this point in the season, I make decisions
- 32:23Speaker 1: like that where it's like fucking showing me something before
- 32:26Speaker 1: I put thousands of dollars on your corpse, because that's
- 32:28Speaker 1: what he is right now, He's a corpse. Russell Wilson, So, um,
- 32:32Speaker 1: I can't. I can't sign off on a Fox Well
- 32:34Speaker 1: on this one chat. Hmm, interesting, very interesting. I feel
- 32:44Speaker 1: like you are it's weak their team, and you're kind
- 32:49Speaker 1: of changing the script on me, and like we're seeing
- 32:51Speaker 1: all these professional numbers that we know we should take.
- 32:57Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's what you've seen through
- 33:02Speaker 1: the year or like some other kind of psychological bias,
- 33:10Speaker 1: But the Patriots, the Titans, the Broncos, these are all games.
- 33:17Speaker 1: In Week five, they'd be an auto play and a
- 33:20Speaker 1: week thirteam we're seeing things differently, and I gotta tell
- 33:25Speaker 1: you it worries me. Yeah, well you're the amateur. Look,
- 33:28Speaker 1: gamba doesn't work exactly how Chad just explain that doesn't
- 33:31Speaker 1: listen to me. I'll tell you right now, stop fucking
- 33:34Speaker 1: calling me that. Because I'm not true. You just said
- 33:37Speaker 1: the most amateur thing I've ever heard said on the show.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Whatever these lines are right here, every relevant to what
- 33:42Speaker 1: the lines are in week five. I just go a
- 33:44Speaker 1: week the week brother, That's why. That's how I do it,
- 33:47Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter what happened last week or the
- 33:49Speaker 1: week before. My adjustment is on the whole season. And
- 33:52Speaker 1: I'm with you. I would love to back the broncis here.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Everything you just said it is true, Like this is
- 33:56Speaker 1: a good number. The book are giving us two free points.
- 34:00Speaker 1: I just don't trust the books. They're laying traps at
- 34:02Speaker 1: this point of the year. It's stinky lines. It was
- 34:04Speaker 1: just like last week, you love your little Bears against
- 34:07Speaker 1: the Jets. You said, that's seven points. It's a lot
- 34:09Speaker 1: of point. By the way, I never said I love
- 34:11Speaker 1: the Bears against the Jets. You don't want to take
- 34:13Speaker 1: the Jets that I didn't want to take the Jets
- 34:15Speaker 1: because we didn't know who's playing quarterback yet. And I said, yeah,
- 34:20Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that's what it comes to a
- 34:22Speaker 1: point in the season where there's a lot of things
- 34:23Speaker 1: that don't the matter. You're just playing this situation. So
- 34:26Speaker 1: I might get into it all a situation will play
- 34:28Speaker 1: with the Denver here, but I don't like it. I
- 34:30Speaker 1: just do not like the juju of coming out of
- 34:33Speaker 1: the Broncos like they got dominated by a Carolina team
- 34:37Speaker 1: and Sam Donald they got absolutely dominated last week. So
- 34:40Speaker 1: I just it's just hard for me to back a
- 34:42Speaker 1: team like this in this position. Is juju a professional
- 34:46Speaker 1: term or is that an amateur term? It could be both.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Salty Chat Commanders on the road at the Giants Commanders
- 34:56Speaker 1: are two point favorites. Simon says, do give me the
- 35:05Speaker 1: Giants plus two and a half. Hopefully you can get
- 35:07Speaker 1: the plus three if you can find it, but it's
- 35:09Speaker 1: been bent down to two and a half to it
- 35:10Speaker 1: a lot of books, just a smart playing a Giants
- 35:13Speaker 1: team that everyone hates and the Commander's team that everyone loves,
- 35:16Speaker 1: and a matchup of what does the Giants do? They
- 35:20Speaker 1: run the ball, and we've seen Washington even Atlanta was
- 35:23Speaker 1: able to run on them. Teams have been able to
- 35:25Speaker 1: run on this Washington team. And Chase Young, he's not
- 35:28Speaker 1: good against her and he's a pass rusher, so I
- 35:29Speaker 1: could care less if he's coming back this week. In
- 35:31Speaker 1: a matchup of desperation for this Giant's team. They've had us.
- 35:35Speaker 1: They are on a slide right now. They've lost two
- 35:37Speaker 1: straight welst in Detroit the Cowboys. This is a good
- 35:40Speaker 1: game for them to get right against the Commander's team
- 35:43Speaker 1: that we already talked about it. In their last seven
- 35:45Speaker 1: games or six and one, like Heineke, has been an
- 35:47Speaker 1: absolute tear. They're gonna get caught up eventually, and this
- 35:51Speaker 1: is where they do then, being a favorite on the
- 35:52Speaker 1: road and a divisional game, that's crazy to me. And
- 35:55Speaker 1: the fact that the public loves them here, that's what
- 35:57Speaker 1: gives me hope he might be to get the three.
- 35:59Speaker 1: But I grabbed and a half now just in case
- 36:01Speaker 1: this does go down to one, as the pros are
- 36:02Speaker 1: gonna coming on the Giants because it's it's just a
- 36:04Speaker 1: good spot to take a Giant thing that's undervalued right now. Yeah,
- 36:07Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. It makes no sense to me.
- 36:10Speaker 1: I'm as I'm looking at this, I'm thinking, are there
- 36:13Speaker 1: too many Giants injuries? What is the reason. It just
- 36:17Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense at all that the Commanders have
- 36:21Speaker 1: this much respect. Having seen we bet them a lot
- 36:24Speaker 1: this year, watched a lot of their games, having seen
- 36:29Speaker 1: how they win their games, even that Eagles game where
- 36:32Speaker 1: they dominated. They had a lot of luck in that game.
- 36:37Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, Taylor Heineke being a road
- 36:40Speaker 1: favorite doesn't quite make sense to me. Dolphins four and
- 36:45Speaker 1: a half point underdogs on the road at San Francisco.
- 36:52Speaker 1: This line has been moving. It has been moving. We
- 36:56Speaker 1: talked about it on green Dot Daily earlier today. When
- 37:00Speaker 1: we first started talking about it was three and a
- 37:02Speaker 1: half at our meeting. By the time we did our
- 37:05Speaker 1: stuff an hour later, it was at four. Now it's
- 37:08Speaker 1: at four and a half. Well, it's three and a half.
- 37:11Speaker 1: A FanDuel it is um Yeah, and I I stupidly
- 37:17Speaker 1: wanted to take Miami. I got sucked in on the points.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Um had had a nice phone call after we did
- 37:25Speaker 1: our live show this morning. I got a lot of
- 37:26Speaker 1: ship for it. Apparently I'm an idiot. I don't know
- 37:29Speaker 1: what to do here. I I want to make this
- 37:32Speaker 1: our foxhold bet on the four nineers because the public
- 37:36Speaker 1: loves Miami, and I'm apparently part of the public because
- 37:39Speaker 1: I was getting sucked in. Where the forty nine they're healthy,
- 37:43Speaker 1: They're completely healthy on defense. Now we've seen how their
- 37:47Speaker 1: offenses dominated and last week they shouldn't have covered like
- 37:50Speaker 1: that was a really bad game by them. Do we
- 37:53Speaker 1: see them laying two stinkers on our own? I feel
- 37:55Speaker 1: like that was a fair question I got proposed to me.
- 37:57Speaker 1: That's They're a well coached team, this four niner. So
- 38:00Speaker 1: Miami has been on an absolute tear. But like me
- 38:03Speaker 1: and Chad talked earlier this week, earlier today, who have
- 38:06Speaker 1: they played? And Chad talked about men picking them to
- 38:09Speaker 1: miss the playoffs, for them just not to win the division,
- 38:12Speaker 1: I think that's a fair play because they beat up
- 38:14Speaker 1: on bad teams in the last couple of weeks. Now
- 38:15Speaker 1: they're about to getting a really hard part of their
- 38:17Speaker 1: schedule and this is one of the tougher games we're
- 38:19Speaker 1: gonna face all year. So I want a lot of
- 38:22Speaker 1: you people I like Miami coming into it. And it
- 38:25Speaker 1: seems like I'm just a little too excited about a
- 38:27Speaker 1: team that really hasn't proven what they're worth is at
- 38:30Speaker 1: this point. So I'm flip flapping here, but I'm gonna
- 38:33Speaker 1: end up on four nine is in the sense that
- 38:35Speaker 1: I know a really smart group who's taking a position
- 38:37Speaker 1: on the four nas at three three and a half. Um,
- 38:40Speaker 1: So it's no surprise. The chat said, there's a couple
- 38:42Speaker 1: of books on the four and a half at this point,
- 38:44Speaker 1: some books still a three and a half. Just shop
- 38:46Speaker 1: around and trying to find value on this line. I
- 38:49Speaker 1: love it as the Foxholl. We've got a we've got
- 38:52Speaker 1: a new supporter in the Foxholl. Matt Mitchell was gonna
- 38:55Speaker 1: play a drop for everybody, our old friend Patrick Beverley.
- 39:00Speaker 1: You know me, regardless of what's going on, I'm a
- 39:01Speaker 1: Foxhole guy. I commit to a team, I commit to
- 39:04Speaker 1: a city. I'm a Foxhole minus three and a half
- 39:07Speaker 1: in the Foxhall. And that is an amazing drop that
- 39:12Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell. Then, uh, let me give you some stats
- 39:17Speaker 1: to back up what you were saying. And I talked
- 39:19Speaker 1: about some of this on Green Dot Daily this morning
- 39:21Speaker 1: when I was talking about how I don't like me
- 39:23Speaker 1: at Miami my rest of the year. I don't like
- 39:26Speaker 1: Miami for the rest of the year. The past six
- 39:28Speaker 1: games home versus Houston, home versus Cleveland, at Chicago, at Detroit,
- 39:34Speaker 1: home versus Pittsburgh, home versus Minnesota. The next six games
- 39:40Speaker 1: at San Francisco, at the l A Chargers, at the
- 39:43Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills home versus Green Bay at New England home
- 39:47Speaker 1: versus the Jets. They're going on the road in December
- 39:52Speaker 1: against really good teams, really competitive teams. So this is
- 39:57Speaker 1: gonna be a different look from Miami then we've seen
- 40:00Speaker 1: the previous six weeks. I love the Niners in this spot.
- 40:05Speaker 1: I'm glad you've come around. Glad we're putting them in
- 40:08Speaker 1: the foxhole. Uh. My biggest fear is that Cal Shannon
- 40:13Speaker 1: as a favorite at home is not very good. Yeah
- 40:16Speaker 1: now and again you said it. He got away with
- 40:18Speaker 1: one last week, and I totally agree like that you
- 40:20Speaker 1: should not have covered that game. Um, but laws of averages.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Maybe he's finally turned the corner. Chat we can pay
- 40:27Speaker 1: to see him do it. But it what is this
- 40:30Speaker 1: the game of the week. I feel like des by
- 40:32Speaker 1: the best matchup of the week of two teams that
- 40:34Speaker 1: whoever wins this, it's gonna prove a lot to I
- 40:36Speaker 1: don't know about Chad and me, especially that. Okay, now
- 40:39Speaker 1: I can start believing these teams because neither of them
- 40:41Speaker 1: are really played any good competition in these last couple
- 40:43Speaker 1: of weeks. Well, there's one more game that's going to
- 40:46Speaker 1: be my executive decision that I think is going to
- 40:48Speaker 1: be an even better game Seahawks. That this isn't it.
- 40:52Speaker 1: By the way, Seahawks visiting the Los Angeles Rams the
- 40:57Speaker 1: man they are falling apart their eight point underdogs at
- 41:00Speaker 1: home against the Seahawks right now. I mean, you know
- 41:06Speaker 1: this is when you listen to the book. Well, I
- 41:08Speaker 1: was impressed with the Rams, like they they played really
- 41:12Speaker 1: well against the Chiefs. They the Chiefs only covered by
- 41:16Speaker 1: kicking a field goal in the final minutes of the game.
- 41:18Speaker 1: So but that was like, that was why you're talking
- 41:21Speaker 1: about I want to take the Chiefs. And I couldn't
- 41:22Speaker 1: fight you on it where it's like those huge spreads.
- 41:25Speaker 1: You need so much luck to cover those big spreads
- 41:28Speaker 1: because football is so hard. And this Rams team, me
- 41:32Speaker 1: and Chad talked all the time about buying team at
- 41:34Speaker 1: the lowest point. That's why he wants to take the
- 41:35Speaker 1: Broncos this week, which is I'm telling you this is
- 41:38Speaker 1: probably the smart play because you're buying that the lowest point.
- 41:40Speaker 1: This is as low as it gets for this This
- 41:42Speaker 1: Rams team doesn't get any lower. There they might be
- 41:46Speaker 1: out down Aaron Donald now in this game already know
- 41:48Speaker 1: they're out the receivers. This is lows against. But we've
- 41:52Speaker 1: seen the weakness and the Seahawks team the running. They
- 41:56Speaker 1: cannot stop the run, and we know what the Rams
- 41:58Speaker 1: want to do. They want to run the ball, especially
- 42:00Speaker 1: now they have a running quarterback in there for Stafford.
- 42:02Speaker 1: So as long as Stafford doesn't rush back and come
- 42:04Speaker 1: for this game. I know it sounds weird, I'd rather
- 42:06Speaker 1: have the running quarterback in this game against the Seahawks defense.
- 42:10Speaker 1: I'll take the seven and a half. Hope they gets
- 42:11Speaker 1: back to eight. Um GRAVI eight then, because it's just
- 42:17Speaker 1: professionals are gonna take this number in the sense that
- 42:19Speaker 1: you have a divisional home dog that as bad as
- 42:23Speaker 1: they have look this Rams team, it's still McVeigh that
- 42:27Speaker 1: can scheme up away to run the ball against a
- 42:29Speaker 1: really bad stopping the run defense and the Seahawks. So
- 42:33Speaker 1: this big of a number. This is in the middle
- 42:34Speaker 1: of the season. The Seahawks like they're on a roll
- 42:36Speaker 1: for a while there. You've kind of seen them come
- 42:38Speaker 1: back down the earth these last couple of weeks. We
- 42:40Speaker 1: got obviously caught with it last week, same thing this week.
- 42:43Speaker 1: I think this line is too too high for Seahawks team,
- 42:46Speaker 1: the fact that the public is gonna be all over
- 42:48Speaker 1: this right, They're gonna be teasing this number everything so
- 42:51Speaker 1: mean every public Joe public's money line parlay taking the
- 42:54Speaker 1: Seahawks here. Um, I'll gladly take the value on the
- 42:57Speaker 1: eight with this Rams team hundred hundred percent. Who whoo
- 43:05Speaker 1: uh Our favorite team to fade on the road as
- 43:08Speaker 1: a favorite. The Los Angeles Chargers are on the road
- 43:11Speaker 1: as a favorite against the Las Vegas Raiders. The number
- 43:15Speaker 1: right now is one and a half. The Raiders are
- 43:18Speaker 1: one and a half point underdogs. The Chargers nearly gave
- 43:22Speaker 1: it away against the Cardinals, uh pulled one out, and
- 43:27Speaker 1: the Raiders did exactly the opposite, beating up on the
- 43:30Speaker 1: Seahawks in the overtime with Josh Jacobs gaining eight hundred
- 43:35Speaker 1: thousand yards in the game. It's pro Joe game. Is
- 43:39Speaker 1: now your exact decision? No? Oh fuck? Love Vegas here? Yeah,
- 43:45Speaker 1: I love it, I love Vegas here. You're gonna make
- 43:47Speaker 1: Chad force this one in on Sunday. We'll hopefully we'll
- 43:49Speaker 1: get two and a half. That would be amazing, because
- 43:50Speaker 1: too such a lame number. Um, I fucking hate pushes,
- 43:55Speaker 1: so hopefully give US two and a half. I don't
- 43:56Speaker 1: think we'll get there because the tickets are on the Chargers,
- 43:58Speaker 1: but the money is big on the Raiders and it
- 44:01Speaker 1: should be just like the Cardinals last week, like I
- 44:06Speaker 1: I understood, I got a lot of piste off people
- 44:08Speaker 1: telling me all the stats about Kingsbury after November Kingsbury
- 44:12Speaker 1: at home, and it was a simple thing where I
- 44:13Speaker 1: kept saying, the Chargers just can't be favorites. They just
- 44:17Speaker 1: can't be because whenever they win games, they always went
- 44:19Speaker 1: by one or two points. That's just how they are
- 44:21Speaker 1: and that's just up to bad coaching. That's what I
- 44:23Speaker 1: think it is with this Chargers team. They have the talent,
- 44:25Speaker 1: they just on the coaching and they don't have the players.
- 44:28Speaker 1: And their biggest issue now is that the d tackle
- 44:30Speaker 1: position at defense. They're they're an historically bad team against
- 44:33Speaker 1: the run this year historically, Like the numbers they give
- 44:36Speaker 1: up on the ground is out of this world. We
- 44:39Speaker 1: just saw the Raiders what they want to do. They
- 44:40Speaker 1: want to run the ball. Josh Jacobs and I know
- 44:42Speaker 1: he's got injuries right, he's banged up, He's resting all week.
- 44:45Speaker 1: They say he's not gonna practice all week. He's full
- 44:48Speaker 1: ago me and jaded me and Chayer catching over one
- 44:51Speaker 1: and a half with this Raiders team at home, no brainer,
- 44:54Speaker 1: player will definitely take them here. It's it's terrifying now
- 44:58Speaker 1: that I'm thinking about back in Joshua Daniels, But I
- 45:01Speaker 1: like Chad knows like this is the right spot. Right
- 45:03Speaker 1: We're getting home divisional dog and a team that wants
- 45:06Speaker 1: to run the ball against a team that just can't
- 45:07Speaker 1: stop the run and the Chargers, and there's no one
- 45:09Speaker 1: coming in to stop that. There. They are what they are.
- 45:11Speaker 1: They're not adding anyone to that d tackle position. So yeah,
- 45:14Speaker 1: give me, give me the Raiders here. Yeah, I like
- 45:17Speaker 1: that one a lot. We were building a nice little
- 45:19Speaker 1: list here of of games that will get their baby
- 45:21Speaker 1: through the thicken thing. Chad, we'll figure it in bikes.
- 45:24Speaker 1: We like the Giants, we like the Niners, we like
- 45:27Speaker 1: the Rams, we like the Raiders. We like and then
- 45:30Speaker 1: it comes to the executive decision. The Kansas City Chiefs
- 45:38Speaker 1: visiting the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bengals two and a half
- 45:44Speaker 1: point underdogs at home. We're e d and the funk
- 45:49Speaker 1: out of the Bengals right now, The choice between the
- 45:53Speaker 1: unthinkable and the impossible decision. This just makes me. I mean,
- 46:02Speaker 1: I know why, but this Bengals team, Look, we love
- 46:06Speaker 1: them in a very strange situation when you normally wouldn't
- 46:09Speaker 1: love them. A couple of weeks ago, as road favorites
- 46:12Speaker 1: against the Steelers in a shootout they won, we love
- 46:16Speaker 1: them this past weekend as short road favorites against Tennessee,
- 46:21Speaker 1: tight game, defensive battle. You love the under They had
- 46:26Speaker 1: a lot of things go against them and pulled it out.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, its fucking awesome and this defense is just
- 46:35Speaker 1: better with DJ Reader playing and likely to get Joe
- 46:39Speaker 1: Mixon back. The Bengal should not be underdogs in this game. Yeah,
- 46:43Speaker 1: and you were all over the Bengals last year in
- 46:45Speaker 1: this game least two teams played. I went against it,
- 46:48Speaker 1: got burned the following week. Yeah, it's I don't want
- 46:54Speaker 1: to I don't want to go overboard on my love
- 46:56Speaker 1: for since here right now. But it is a Joe
- 46:57Speaker 1: Burrow thing. I do think he's ascended now to be
- 47:01Speaker 1: in that conversation. Is the top five guy. He's just
- 47:04Speaker 1: he's cool man. He is Joe cool. He lost his
- 47:06Speaker 1: number one reponent, number one weapon in Jamal Chase kept
- 47:10Speaker 1: going out there, kept producing, kept doing better. Yeah, lost
- 47:14Speaker 1: Joe and mixing against you know, and one of the
- 47:17Speaker 1: best better. Yeah, it's just he's just so good at
- 47:22Speaker 1: adjusting to what he has in front of him. Now
- 47:25Speaker 1: Chase is coming back against the biggest weakness of this
- 47:28Speaker 1: Chief's team. Their secondaries filled with rookies and the second
- 47:31Speaker 1: year of players. That's their biggest achilles here this year,
- 47:34Speaker 1: the biggest achilles heal this year. So the thing you
- 47:37Speaker 1: want to do against him is go downfield with your
- 47:40Speaker 1: big body guys. And we saw the Chargers team with
- 47:43Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Keenan Allen really take it to this
- 47:45Speaker 1: Chief's defense. They struggled against those guys and they got
- 47:48Speaker 1: lucky when Mike Williams went out with an injury in
- 47:50Speaker 1: that game. This, Yeah, te Higgins here and you got
- 47:53Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. Those are a big body guys who are
- 47:56Speaker 1: can get downfield with speed. So looking up a matchup
- 47:59Speaker 1: where Ched's talked about, wanted to make this my Green
- 48:01Speaker 1: Dot Daily picked this morning, but it wasn't at three.
- 48:04Speaker 1: I wanted the plus three. Now I'm looking at in
- 48:06Speaker 1: the app right now, I don't think it's gonna get there.
- 48:08Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna drop down to two? Um,
- 48:10Speaker 1: despite the public coming in so heavy on the Chiefs
- 48:14Speaker 1: and they have trends back in it. Historically Betty Mahomes
- 48:18Speaker 1: under a field goal has been very profitable. That's that's
- 48:21Speaker 1: a nice spot to be and taking them under a
- 48:22Speaker 1: field goal. But looking at this Chief's team, if you
- 48:26Speaker 1: go through all their games, all their wins are really close.
- 48:29Speaker 1: They've had a couple a couple of big blowouts, But
- 48:31Speaker 1: if you go through it like I'm looking at right now,
- 48:33Speaker 1: most of their wins are by three or especially when
- 48:36Speaker 1: they play against teams that can put up points, they
- 48:38Speaker 1: just stay in these games because their defense really can't
- 48:40Speaker 1: get stopped. So yeah, with with Chat, I'm gonna back
- 48:43Speaker 1: it here. I'll be all over since you with him,
- 48:45Speaker 1: hopefully we can get to the three. But at two
- 48:47Speaker 1: and a half, I still think you're getting a good
- 48:48Speaker 1: key number of the since he team, I don't think
- 48:50Speaker 1: we're gonna get to three. Uh yeah, I think they're
- 48:53Speaker 1: all already giving you reduced juice on two and a half,
- 48:56Speaker 1: begging you to take it at two and a half.
- 48:57Speaker 1: So it has been interesting with with the World Cup
- 48:59Speaker 1: and all these other sports going on. Sometimes you can
- 49:02Speaker 1: wait in the big money like Joe Public. Everyone comes
- 49:05Speaker 1: in heavy Saturday nights, Sunday morning. Sometimes you you are
- 49:07Speaker 1: able to get a bump up. I would grab the
- 49:09Speaker 1: two and a half now, just to be safe. In Kisse,
- 49:11Speaker 1: it does drop it too, because that is a key number. Um.
- 49:15Speaker 1: The other thing that's really interesting to me about this
- 49:18Speaker 1: Cincinnati team is you mentioned Joe Burrow. The other day
- 49:24Speaker 1: watching the games with my kid, I said, name the
- 49:28Speaker 1: most enjoyable quarterbacks to watch, not necessarily the best, like
- 49:34Speaker 1: the guys who are just the most fun to watch.
- 49:37Speaker 1: And to me it was obviously Justin Fields, uh, Patrick Mahomes,
- 49:44Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Josh Allen. And my kids said to me
- 49:48Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, And I said, I don't love watching Kyler Murray.
- 49:51Speaker 1: You know why. He doesn't play with any joy. He
- 49:54Speaker 1: just looks mad the whole time, whereas the other guys
- 49:56Speaker 1: they look like they're having fun. They look like their
- 49:59Speaker 1: kids playing in the back are just loving what they're doing.
- 50:02Speaker 1: That you left off your boy, the guy you bet
- 50:05Speaker 1: on f m v P Jalen Hurts number two and
- 50:07Speaker 1: m v P ratings right now, Yeah, I feel like
- 50:10Speaker 1: he's he's up there with these guys. Now the he's five.
- 50:13Speaker 1: He's five. Yeah, the stuff he can do running though,
- 50:16Speaker 1: Like but coming in the year, um, I just never
- 50:19Speaker 1: envisioned what he would turn into and this year it's
- 50:22Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with saying that he's he's an elite guy
- 50:25Speaker 1: at what he can do, which is running the ball.
- 50:27Speaker 1: How do you feel about my Kyla Murray take. I
- 50:30Speaker 1: just I've been out on Kyler in the sense that
- 50:32Speaker 1: I just think his attitude such ship which so I
- 50:34Speaker 1: agree with your sense it doesn't look like he's having fun,
- 50:37Speaker 1: but we'll see. I don't want to put too much
- 50:38Speaker 1: on him. Um, it could be a Kingsbury thing, but
- 50:42Speaker 1: just the way he talks to Hopkins, he seems like
- 50:44Speaker 1: a kid that never got the ship kicked out of him.
- 50:45Speaker 1: And you could just tell Hopkins like looked at him
- 50:47Speaker 1: like I'm about to beat the ship out of this
- 50:48Speaker 1: little dude, and he didn't because he's obviously his quarterback.
- 50:51Speaker 1: But there's certain things he says that just rubbed you
- 50:54Speaker 1: the wrong way. And it's the same thing with Zach Wilson,
- 50:56Speaker 1: Like all X players shoot on Zach Wilson all last
- 50:59Speaker 1: week and then this week the Jets win, and you
- 51:02Speaker 1: could not interview a Jets player in that locker room
- 51:04Speaker 1: that didn't speak so highly of Mike Mike White. How
- 51:07Speaker 1: much do you like Mike White? How much of a
- 51:09Speaker 1: team guy he is? And that's just shade shade, shade shade,
- 51:12Speaker 1: or in exact, the quarterback position. If they if guys
- 51:15Speaker 1: even get a whiff of you being a little stuck
- 51:17Speaker 1: up asshole, they're out. And I feel like that's a
- 51:19Speaker 1: that's a big problem right now with Kyler and his teammates.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Lots of listeners are asking us about show merch because
- 51:27Speaker 1: who wouldn't want a T shirt with my face and
- 51:30Speaker 1: Simon's face on it? It has arrived. Just visit the
- 51:34Speaker 1: volume dot com, slash the dash favorites. Code Shaves twenty
- 51:40Speaker 1: gets off today through Thursday. The Indianapolis Culture eleven point
- 51:47Speaker 1: underdogs had the Dallas Cowboys. God damnit, you do we
- 51:50Speaker 1: have to do this? I mean, look, you wrote the book.
- 51:57Speaker 1: It's it's not written though you the Colts. I hate it,
- 52:01Speaker 1: just like all you hate it. It's not a contest
- 52:04Speaker 1: play now, it's been here on Tuesday. I say it's not.
- 52:07Speaker 1: But we'll see because that's crazy. That's a crazy number
- 52:11Speaker 1: for a Dallas team that cannot stop the run. Like
- 52:14Speaker 1: they are bad against the run. That is a major issue.
- 52:17Speaker 1: So a team that is bad against the run, I
- 52:20Speaker 1: always like other teams that can run the ball donnantly,
- 52:22Speaker 1: and that's what this Cold team can do. They can't
- 52:24Speaker 1: pass the ball donaltly there. That's not a strength of theirs,
- 52:27Speaker 1: but they make it work with the two added monster
- 52:29Speaker 1: in the backfield and Jonathan Taylor's looked better these last
- 52:31Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Um. The love of the public for
- 52:35Speaker 1: the Cowboys is interesting. Uh, I just I thought the
- 52:39Speaker 1: number would be ten. I'm shocked to see it now
- 52:41Speaker 1: sitting here on Tuesday, all the way up to eleven
- 52:42Speaker 1: at this point. But it makes sense. We saw the
- 52:44Speaker 1: Colts look so bad last night against the Pittsburgh team
- 52:47Speaker 1: at home. I guess it makes sense the number, so
- 52:51Speaker 1: the hesitation would just be Matt Ryan looked cooked last night.
- 52:55Speaker 1: I think he started the game one in eight um passing.
- 52:58Speaker 1: He's just he so up and down. You don't know
- 53:01Speaker 1: what you're getting week to week. And that's the hardest
- 53:02Speaker 1: part getting read on this Colds team. It's like, are
- 53:04Speaker 1: you gonna get the team that took the Chiefs to
- 53:06Speaker 1: the end and they beat them straight up and took
- 53:08Speaker 1: the Eagles to a one point game. Are you gonna
- 53:10Speaker 1: get the colds team that just looks in the maich
- 53:13Speaker 1: for a whole half because they can't move the ball. Um,
- 53:16Speaker 1: That is a tough one. So my my heart says
- 53:19Speaker 1: go with the go of the culture right now because
- 53:20Speaker 1: you're getting the value. But I feel like that's a
- 53:22Speaker 1: fair point. The Chad said, like this probably won't be
- 53:25Speaker 1: one of our five. All right, last game of the week,
- 53:36Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, who broke our heart this past
- 53:39Speaker 1: week on the road, is four point underdogs at the
- 53:42Speaker 1: Tampa Bay buccane Years. No strong opinion on this game
- 53:45Speaker 1: right now. I say Tampa in the sense that you're
- 53:50Speaker 1: getting them off such a bad loss. With Brady in
- 53:52Speaker 1: the game, they easily should have won. I mean that
- 53:55Speaker 1: was I think fourth and ten, then the joke who
- 53:58Speaker 1: touchdown the back of the end zone. It just an
- 54:00Speaker 1: incredible run by that Brown's team uh to end that game.
- 54:04Speaker 1: But I like Tampa in the sense that there there
- 54:09Speaker 1: no one's gonna betting them. They just I believe they
- 54:11Speaker 1: just lost their left tackle. Um it feels like a
- 54:15Speaker 1: lonely favorite that I'll be taking here that no one's
- 54:17Speaker 1: gonna be bet. Everyone will just take the Saints as
- 54:19Speaker 1: the dog and a match up between two teams that
- 54:21Speaker 1: are pretty equal. I make this line three and a half,
- 54:25Speaker 1: no value either way. Um, if you can get a four,
- 54:27Speaker 1: I guess you could go Saints. I just I just
- 54:29Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. Um any Dalton. We've seen him burn
- 54:32Speaker 1: me and Chad two different times to sharing prime time. Ah,
- 54:36Speaker 1: he has been anemic in prime time. He just can't
- 54:39Speaker 1: can't make throws. Um, yeah, don't. I don't think this
- 54:44Speaker 1: would be one of my bigger bets. But the more
- 54:46Speaker 1: I'm looking at, the more I'm thinking myself like this.
- 54:48Speaker 1: This usually is the time you take Tampa at home
- 54:50Speaker 1: against an indoor team that's struggling offensively, and I would
- 54:55Speaker 1: love to say their defense is the reason that the
- 54:57Speaker 1: four nighter struggled so much. But that was just a
- 54:59Speaker 1: Jimmy Garopp shooting himself in the foot kind of game
- 55:01Speaker 1: where Town doesn't usually do that. The Saints historically have
- 55:05Speaker 1: done that against him, but this year he might have
- 55:07Speaker 1: broke the curse. He beat them earlier. I think it
- 55:08Speaker 1: was week two or week three, me and Chader on
- 55:11Speaker 1: the other side of a bad Jameis Winston picks six
- 55:13Speaker 1: in that game. Um, who knows it could be Jamis
- 55:16Speaker 1: this week. I've heard some rumblings they might be Jamis,
- 55:19Speaker 1: But as we sit here right now, it's Andy Dalton
- 55:21Speaker 1: side back Tampa. Matt Mitchell is going to be out
- 55:27Speaker 1: of town next week and he will be in Vegas
- 55:30Speaker 1: for this game. So hopefully later in the week we
- 55:33Speaker 1: will develop a strong enough opinion to give him something
- 55:36Speaker 1: to root for. We'll try, but I feel like you
- 55:39Speaker 1: agree with you. Chest probably won't be one of our five. No, no, no,
- 55:42Speaker 1: there's like, yeah, there are certain spots in which you
- 55:45Speaker 1: want to back the Saints. Saints is like a short
- 55:48Speaker 1: road dog. The only thing that makes me wean a
- 55:53Speaker 1: little bit Saints is that divisional game Like at four.
- 55:58Speaker 1: You know, you play the percentages and go with the
- 56:02Speaker 1: with the dog. But this Saints team like can be
- 56:06Speaker 1: in Munich offensively like we saw it, and so it's tough.
- 56:09Speaker 1: It's a tough one. I don't have a strong opinion
- 56:11Speaker 1: on it, and it might not happen. Matt Mitchell, It
- 56:13Speaker 1: just might not happen. That's and that's kind of how
- 56:16Speaker 1: it is where you're picking games on Tuesday. It's like, yeah,
- 56:19Speaker 1: we're still trying to figure out certain matchups of you know,
- 56:23Speaker 1: got like we just got so burned from New Orleans.
- 56:26Speaker 1: It is hard for me to just be like, yeah,
- 56:28Speaker 1: take New Orleans here, where they did everything they could,
- 56:30Speaker 1: did not cover that game last week. It still is
- 56:33Speaker 1: hard for me to even start logging bets again. I'm
- 56:35Speaker 1: so upset about it. All right, so when I used
- 56:42Speaker 1: to losing this year, it's been a good year. Not
- 56:43Speaker 1: that's the problem. Foxhold forty Niners minus three and a half.
- 56:47Speaker 1: Simon says Giants plus two and a half the exact
- 56:50Speaker 1: decision since the plus two and a half our leads
- 56:54Speaker 1: right now, Vike's minus three, but we're hoping it gets
- 56:56Speaker 1: down to two and a half Giants plus two and
- 56:58Speaker 1: a half, Niners minus three and a half, Rams plus
- 57:00Speaker 1: eight Raiders plus two since he plus two and a half.
- 57:04Speaker 1: We're keeping an eye on the Colts turned up to
- 57:08Speaker 1: a spinal tap sponsored eleven um. We'll be back on Thursday,
- 57:16Speaker 1: I know we will. Simon for Simon, Hunter for Matt Mitchell.
