- 0:34Speaker 3: Hey, Chad, how are we doing? Brother?
- 0:36Speaker 1: My voice is a little scratchy at the end of
- 0:39Speaker 1: the day today, A couple of yells.
- 0:41Speaker 2: But dude, we had a thrilling early window. No joke.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Those three games we won in that window, which was Indy, Atlanta,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh, all came down to the final couple of minutes.
- 0:52Speaker 1: All of them had turnovers, safeties, touchdowns, penalties, all of
- 0:58Speaker 1: it that could have heard us. Instead they all went
- 1:01Speaker 1: our way. I chuck it up to luck and preparation. Simon,
- 1:06Speaker 1: we are three and one on the day, the Niners
- 1:09Speaker 1: being one of our biggest bets of the year.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Later tonight, how are you feeling?
- 1:14Speaker 4: Feeling pretty good? I'm feeling I'm like the same as you.
- 1:16Speaker 4: It feels like we got lucky, Like a lot of
- 1:18Speaker 4: the bets.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Definitely broke our way.
- 1:19Speaker 4: But whenever you're you know the guy you're betting on,
- 1:23Speaker 4: Like Richardson goes down, we have Minch. You come in
- 1:24Speaker 4: and we're still able to somehow cover that number. Feel
- 1:28Speaker 4: pretty lucky when me and you wouldn't switch out any
- 1:30Speaker 4: picks because we want to keep Atlanta and that was
- 1:32Speaker 4: a good number. And at landed literally right on two,
- 1:35Speaker 4: which is crazy because it's like Chris, Chris was able
- 1:37Speaker 4: to cover his two and a half. We're able to
- 1:38Speaker 4: cover our one and a half. That's always pretty nice.
- 1:42Speaker 4: But me and you said before a game on that
- 1:44Speaker 4: Pittsburgh game is like you just play the number. Forget
- 1:47Speaker 4: all the bs, all the other stuff, everything you're breaking
- 1:49Speaker 4: down all the logic to try to make of the
- 1:51Speaker 4: stupid sport we call football. That was just the classic
- 1:55Speaker 4: you take the number. Little things have to break our
- 1:57Speaker 4: way and they did. Like that game, we felt dead.
- 2:00Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know about you. I felt dead
- 2:01Speaker 4: that whole first half. It was like that offense had nothing,
- 2:04Speaker 4: Kenny had nothing. Classic example of momentum, like they get
- 2:07Speaker 4: that block, bunt flip the momentum of the game somehow. Again,
- 2:11Speaker 4: we were a down ten eight with the Ravens had
- 2:15Speaker 4: the ball getting ready to score at least kick a
- 2:17Speaker 4: field goal and the whole game flips. We get the
- 2:19Speaker 4: pick in the end zone and we ever we end
- 2:21Speaker 4: up Pittsburgh outright winning seventeen to ten.
- 2:24Speaker 1: So yeah, we're gonna we're gonna get into that game.
- 2:26Speaker 1: We're gonna get We're gonna get into that game a
- 2:28Speaker 1: little bit deeper. Incredible Sunday for convince me this morning.

- 4:55Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:56Speaker 1: We had Pittsburgh plus three and a half in the contest.
- 5:00Speaker 1: It closed at four and a half. We had Atlanta
- 5:03Speaker 1: minus one and a half in the contest. It closed
- 5:06Speaker 1: at two and a half. We had Indy plus two
- 5:09Speaker 1: and a half. We're going to get deeper into that game.
- 5:11Speaker 1: We had Denver minus two and a half. You get
- 5:14Speaker 1: what you deserve when you bet on the Broncos or
- 5:16Speaker 1: the Jets for that matter.
- 5:18Speaker 2: We have San.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Francisco minus three and a half remaining. I would say, simon,
- 5:23Speaker 1: the biggest game that we considered that we passed on
- 5:26Speaker 1: in the contest was Saints plus one and a half,
- 5:29Speaker 1: which was my exac decision this week. And the contest
- 5:33Speaker 1: is interesting, right and part of the spine of our
- 5:37Speaker 1: show is doing this contest. We got twelve thousand people
- 5:40Speaker 1: that signed up for it. We want to do it
- 5:41Speaker 1: well in the contest, and last week we were five
- 5:44Speaker 1: and zero. This week we're three and one, but we've
- 5:47Speaker 1: changed our strategy a little bit. The contest lines are dynamic,
- 5:50Speaker 1: so they're always changing. But once you lock, you're locked.
- 5:55Speaker 1: So you could lock on Thursday and if you are
- 5:57Speaker 1: happy with your numbers, you keep those.
- 5:59Speaker 2: But if you decide you.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Want to change, then you got to change everything and
- 6:03Speaker 1: go with any number that's available in the contest. So
- 6:06Speaker 1: we this morning were starting to you know, we locked
- 6:09Speaker 1: our games on Thursday, and then this morning we were
- 6:12Speaker 1: looking at the numbers. Pittsburgh was at four and a
- 6:15Speaker 1: half and New Orleans was at one and a half.
- 6:17Speaker 1: We liked both those a lot, but Atlanta had moved
- 6:20Speaker 1: to two and a half and I think, uh, and
- 6:25Speaker 1: we didn't like that, and Denver had moved to two
- 6:27Speaker 1: and a half. Denver had been at one and a half,
- 6:30Speaker 1: so we decided to stay where it was. I feel
- 6:31Speaker 1: like I'm okay with that at the end of the day.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll never complain about three and two week if
- 6:37Speaker 4: if we don't cover at four houris to night. But
- 6:38Speaker 4: we have to still have a chance at four and one,
- 6:40Speaker 4: So talk all the time. The goal is I know
- 6:43Speaker 4: it sounds boring, but the goal every week is three
- 6:45Speaker 4: and two, and that's that's been good to us. The
- 6:48Speaker 4: one year we finished in the top twenty five, that's
- 6:51Speaker 4: pretty much where we averaged.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You.
- 6:52Speaker 4: I think we went sixty two percent. Last year we
- 6:54Speaker 4: won sixty three percent. But like our own tournament here,
- 6:57Speaker 4: there are so many people. We only finished top one
- 6:59Speaker 4: hund even though we did better the year before. It's
- 7:02Speaker 4: just when you're in these huge contesters, just it's just
- 7:04Speaker 4: really hard to get to the top.
- 7:05Speaker 3: So, uh yeah, three and two, three and four and one.
- 7:09Speaker 4: That's that was the goal hopefully today and uh still
- 7:12Speaker 4: still Fredy probably confidence this forty nine ers team. So yeah,
- 7:15Speaker 4: got again. We'll dive into the games here. But I
- 7:18Speaker 4: felt like, yeah, Denver terrible read. But the other games,
- 7:22Speaker 4: like we really did talk about how we predicted how
- 7:24Speaker 4: to play out, and they kind of all did the
- 7:26Speaker 4: way we predicted. The only one that really shocked me
- 7:28Speaker 4: was that drive by CG at the end of that
- 7:31Speaker 4: Houston game, Like that was incredible where the kid did nothing,
- 7:34Speaker 4: couldn't again in the end zone all game and then
- 7:36Speaker 4: with all the pressure, everything going against them down six,
- 7:39Speaker 4: gets the ball drives.
- 7:40Speaker 3: The whole field.
- 7:42Speaker 4: What can you say about this kid from Houston just
- 7:44Speaker 4: just incredible as poise and everything just through five games
- 7:47Speaker 4: into the season.
- 7:47Speaker 1: All right, well, let's talk about that game for a minute,
- 7:49Speaker 1: because Atlanta, when we talked about this game last Sunday,
- 7:53Speaker 1: the line was three and a half and we immediately said,
- 7:57Speaker 1: we'll wait until this gets under three. And the wise
- 8:00Speaker 1: guys came in and they bet CJ. Stroud, and they
- 8:03Speaker 1: bet this number under three and a half. They bet
- 8:06Speaker 1: under three.
- 8:07Speaker 2: It got down to one.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I bet it at one and a half on the
- 8:11Speaker 1: way back, and then it started going back up.
- 8:14Speaker 2: And the wise guys loved CJ. Stroud.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And this was like there were a couple of fifty
- 8:21Speaker 1: to fifty games and we happened to be on the
- 8:23Speaker 1: right side of both of them, but this one was
- 8:26Speaker 1: dividing the betting community because of CJ. Stroud, who was
- 8:31Speaker 1: great in the game. Like that last drive. What did
- 8:35Speaker 1: you see in that last drive which put the Texans
- 8:38Speaker 1: ahead with less than two minutes left.
- 8:43Speaker 4: I mean, I just saw a guy that just didn't panic,
- 8:45Speaker 4: Like even when they're in these third I mean that
- 8:47Speaker 4: touchdown might have been on third and nine, Like he
- 8:48Speaker 4: kept getting these long third down positions and he just
- 8:51Speaker 4: never really seem phase by it, and it's like it's
- 8:55Speaker 4: just crazy. You see these other guys like Mac Jones
- 8:57Speaker 4: who looks totally lost, and these other guys in the
- 8:59Speaker 4: league that are like they've been in it for a
- 9:00Speaker 4: long time. They look completely lost, where this kid doesn't
- 9:04Speaker 4: have an all star cast around him. I mean, he
- 9:05Speaker 4: just got back his starting tackle this week. He's been
- 9:09Speaker 4: doing this weekend week out, and what I predicted about
- 9:11Speaker 4: the game came true, where it's like this kid's going
- 9:13Speaker 4: to struggle, like the film's out on him. The defenses
- 9:16Speaker 4: are taking away the things he wants to do, and
- 9:18Speaker 4: he did for three and a half quarters. The kid
- 9:20Speaker 4: couldn't play it together. But you saw in that drive
- 9:23Speaker 4: what makes him so great, which is just the accuracy,
- 9:26Speaker 4: his commness in the pocket, making the right reads and
- 9:29Speaker 4: still no turnovers. It's crazy to watch me now. So
- 9:31Speaker 4: that's why I feel really lucky we got the best
- 9:34Speaker 4: of the number when we covered the number, just because
- 9:36Speaker 4: that was the right spot, like we were fading a
- 9:38Speaker 4: rookie on the road after he's looked lights out again.
- 9:42Speaker 4: We'll talk about this upcoming week. I don't know if
- 9:44Speaker 4: we have to do it again, but the public is
- 9:47Speaker 4: just totally in love with this kid and this Houston team.
- 9:50Speaker 4: I mean, he just keeps covering them for them. So
- 9:53Speaker 4: definitely depends what side of the line you're on, but
- 9:55Speaker 4: if you're on that Houston side, you're feeling pretty happy today.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some already some numbers that I'm interested in
- 10:03Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about later in the show,
- 10:06Speaker 1: some early leans. But this game was insane, like the Falcons.
- 10:11Speaker 1: You know, we had previewed in the Favorites film session
- 10:13Speaker 1: talking about the Falcons running game, and today Desmond Ridder
- 10:17Speaker 1: was brilliant, Like I don't know where that came from,
- 10:20Speaker 1: but he was throwing darts down the scene.
- 10:22Speaker 2: He was making the right plays.
- 10:24Speaker 1: To be honest, the only reason the Falcons the Texans
- 10:26Speaker 1: were even in that game is because of back to
- 10:29Speaker 1: back fumbles on back to back drives when in the
- 10:31Speaker 1: second one the Falcons were knocking on the red zone
- 10:34Speaker 1: and so they tried to give this game away in
- 10:37Speaker 1: every possible way.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Like Desmond Ritter was was lights out.
- 10:42Speaker 1: He's now undefeated at home in college, in the NFL,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and in high school.
- 10:47Speaker 3: I think again, I just felt lucky.
- 10:49Speaker 4: The guy had seven points in the first half, like
- 10:51Speaker 4: Thank god the defense held three field goals.
- 10:55Speaker 3: We really escaped on that one.
- 10:57Speaker 2: All right, another game which actually I never felt nervous about.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Last week.
- 11:06Speaker 1: We loved Indie when it opened minus one and a half.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And on the Thursday show, Simon, you made a big
- 11:13Speaker 1: show of praising me for a call that I made,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm giving Chads flowers. I can't remember
- 11:20Speaker 1: what the game was, so I must return the favorite
- 11:24Speaker 1: this time. Last week I might have been leaning Titans
- 11:30Speaker 1: and you very politely walked me back. Some people might
- 11:35Speaker 1: have said it sounded like you were.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Mean to me, but you weren't.
- 11:38Speaker 1: And because you are very thoughtful, you in the middle
- 11:42Speaker 1: of our epic runs today you slacked me in Matt
- 11:46Speaker 1: Mitchell and told him to pull a clip of how
- 11:49Speaker 1: you said to me to walk to not like the
- 11:51Speaker 1: Titans this week.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Mitchell will drop it in the show.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So you said you thought we'd be fading Mike Vrabel
- 11:59Speaker 1: this week.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Here's the problem. They're a one point dog at Indy.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why you're fading them, Chad. You think that's
- 12:07Speaker 3: a good number. You're getting good value there.
- 12:09Speaker 2: I don't feel anything that line, come.
- 12:11Speaker 4: On, That line stinks tell me, well, let the public
- 12:14Speaker 4: bet it. We'll get the Colts as a dog. Like
- 12:17Speaker 4: people are gonna come in like you, they're gonna take
- 12:19Speaker 4: Tennessee here.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Ahh, I'm not doing anything yet. Don't be mean to
- 12:22Speaker 1: me on Sunday nights just because you haven't slept for days.
- 12:27Speaker 2: All praise to you.
- 12:29Speaker 1: You nail this because we betted at one and a
- 12:30Speaker 1: half when the culture matters one and a half, and
- 12:32Speaker 1: then we bettered again when the cults were dogs all
- 12:35Speaker 1: the way up to two and a half. The entire
- 12:37Speaker 1: world was against us in this one.
- 12:39Speaker 2: This was our Foxhole. Well done, Simon Hunter.
- 12:43Speaker 4: Yeah, another game that took a year off my life,
- 12:45Speaker 4: Like I hate sometimes you hate this job. And that's
- 12:47Speaker 4: one of them where it's like Richardson goes down. I
- 12:49Speaker 4: have a ton of money tied to this game, and
- 12:52Speaker 4: I might have been the opening drive. Tell you're going
- 12:54Speaker 4: right down the field score a touchdown. I'm just like,
- 12:56Speaker 4: well that's how it goes like.
- 12:58Speaker 3: That was a terrible read.
- 13:00Speaker 4: But luckily Minshew makes big throws and man.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Is there a better backup in football? Right now?
- 13:05Speaker 4: The kid's got two wins, you know, wins that Ravens
- 13:09Speaker 4: game wins this game, and you know you gotta be
- 13:12Speaker 4: feeling pretty good if you're a Colts van because it
- 13:15Speaker 4: seems like Richard's not that hurt, so able to get
- 13:18Speaker 4: the win. Hopefully he's back in a week or two,
- 13:21Speaker 4: and you know, you just had some bad luck. People
- 13:22Speaker 4: want to say his injury prone and everything like that.
- 13:24Speaker 4: I mean, the one play was stupid. He fell on
- 13:26Speaker 4: his back, he hit the back of his head, got concussion.
- 13:29Speaker 4: This play was just the same old big d tackle
- 13:32Speaker 4: landed on his shoulder when he took him to the ground,
- 13:33Speaker 4: and that those injuries are gonna happen in football. So
- 13:37Speaker 4: for the Colts, I hope he does come back soon
- 13:39Speaker 4: because you can see that running style when you have
- 13:41Speaker 4: to account for the quarterback that just takes the defender away.
- 13:45Speaker 4: I don't think it was Taylor had a big day either.
- 13:46Speaker 4: I think it was Moss at the really good day
- 13:48Speaker 4: for the Colts team.
- 13:49Speaker 3: So yeah, it feels good, Chad.
- 13:52Speaker 4: That we always preach it if you if you like
- 13:54Speaker 4: a number that's bad and it keeps moving against you,
- 13:56Speaker 4: you just keep betting all the way. You just trust
- 13:58Speaker 4: the model, trust the number. And couldn't get enough of
- 14:02Speaker 4: those two and a half, So they just stuck there
- 14:03Speaker 4: all weekend anyone wanted to, and people came in on
- 14:06Speaker 4: that Titans team and we just we said it last week,
- 14:08Speaker 4: that line just stunk. So Phil's going to be on
- 14:11Speaker 4: the right side of that one.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I will tell you.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I made a note in my notebook here while I
- 14:14Speaker 1: was watching the game of how I felt when Anthony
- 14:19Speaker 1: Richardson went out and Gardner Minshew came in, and I wrote,
- 14:24Speaker 1: I'm actually not that concerned. I felt like that the
- 14:29Speaker 1: Colts were playing really well, and they played with the
- 14:33Speaker 1: level of confidence that they haven't played with in the
- 14:36Speaker 1: past when Frank Reich was the coach and Shane Steichen
- 14:41Speaker 1: and Gannon two we've talked about this in Arizona, like
- 14:44Speaker 1: those two Philadelphia coordinators. They got their guys playing, and
- 14:50Speaker 1: you know, it didn't work out for the Cardinals Today.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Another game I'm glad we passed on because I was
- 14:55Speaker 1: so tempted each day to bet the Cardinals and just
- 14:57Speaker 1: stayed away from it, and also was nervous about the Bengals.
- 15:00Speaker 2: But the Colts like they play hard.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Their linebackers. Who's leading Franklin, I think as his name is,
- 15:07Speaker 1: who's leading the league?
- 15:08Speaker 2: In tackles.
- 15:09Speaker 1: They're a really interesting team. I'm not I'm fascinated by
- 15:13Speaker 1: this team.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a fun team, but they're definitely a team
- 15:16Speaker 4: it's hard to get a read on, Like a lot
- 15:17Speaker 4: of people say they just can't really get a read.
- 15:19Speaker 3: On this team.
- 15:19Speaker 4: That's why I went to Tennessee, and I totally get that.
- 15:22Speaker 4: But I feel like I do have a good read
- 15:24Speaker 4: on this team. I kind of get what they're good at,
- 15:26Speaker 4: what their strains are, and what the weaknesses are. And
- 15:28Speaker 4: you know, I'm not here to give away all the secrets,
- 15:30Speaker 4: but if I come in so hard at someone, then
- 15:32Speaker 4: they're trying to go to the other side where it's like
- 15:34Speaker 4: there's just something fishing about a line. You know, it's
- 15:37Speaker 4: usually a little indicator. Again, I don't at least Sunday shows.
- 15:40Speaker 4: It's tough because I don't have any data right, nothing's
- 15:43Speaker 4: running the model. Me and Ched are just coming on
- 15:45Speaker 4: here reacting to a live show, reacting live to the line.
- 15:48Speaker 4: So that's why it's like, yeah, I might not have
- 15:51Speaker 4: been dead on about my colts take whatever I said
- 15:54Speaker 4: Sunday night, but I do know. By Tuesday, I was like,
- 15:57Speaker 4: this is a game, We're going to be all over
- 15:59Speaker 4: So yeah, that's nice. Where my Thursday show, I was
- 16:03Speaker 4: like scared because like the line moved totally against us,
- 16:06Speaker 4: but totally worked out. We just took the value in
- 16:09Speaker 4: never a doubt in the plus two and a half.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Well, it was also fun this week because.
- 16:15Speaker 1: I felt so stupid on Sunday night when I said
- 16:19Speaker 1: I was leaning Titans and You're like, I don't.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Know if you want to do that.
- 16:22Speaker 1: And by the end of the week after you had
- 16:26Speaker 1: done Anthony Richardson in the Favorites film room and broken
- 16:29Speaker 1: him down, and even by Thursday afternoon when we were
- 16:34Speaker 1: doing the podcast and everybody else was on the Titans,
- 16:39Speaker 1: you were like, oh, I don't know, I'm getting a
- 16:40Speaker 1: litle nervous, but I'm like, you know what, I'm fully
- 16:43Speaker 1: convinced the Titan I mean, the Texans the Colts are
- 16:46Speaker 1: the right side. Because you had swayed me so aggressively,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I'll ask you one question, though, what are they good at?
- 16:56Speaker 2: I watched that whole.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Game and I cannot figure out why they keeping other
- 17:00Speaker 1: than they make their aggressive.
- 17:03Speaker 2: I think Shane Stikeen is really good coach and make.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Yeah, you say great play calling.
- 17:07Speaker 4: Lie That's what it is, right, Yeah, game in like
- 17:11Speaker 4: their situational awareness where he just calls really smart plays
- 17:15Speaker 4: on third and fourth, like yep, you know, they just
- 17:17Speaker 4: get themselves in short businesses and you know, I know how.
- 17:20Speaker 3: I don't know how much they paid Taylor, but if
- 17:23Speaker 3: they can make.
- 17:24Speaker 4: That work, that run scheme with him Moss and Richardson
- 17:27Speaker 4: when he comes back, that's that's the thing I like
- 17:29Speaker 4: about that team where it's like we already know the
- 17:31Speaker 4: kids are arm talent, it's it's the running stuff that
- 17:33Speaker 4: really brings it up. So so the offense changed when
- 17:35Speaker 4: Minshew came in. It's even if he's out next week, Richardson,
- 17:39Speaker 4: I still wouldn't be terrified. I don't know what the
- 17:40Speaker 4: Colts number is right now, but I mean we'll talk
- 17:43Speaker 4: about them. They might not be a team m'd be
- 17:44Speaker 4: scared off of if it is Minshew.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Three years, forty two million, by the way, is what
- 17:48Speaker 1: they paid Jonathan Taylor.
- 17:50Speaker 2: So but you're right, it's the play.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Calling and I made a note of that, like Stiking
- 17:56Speaker 1: is is a little bit like Mike Rabel. He he
- 18:00Speaker 1: makes the interesting, right risky call at the right time,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and because he's so consistent about how he's going to
- 18:06Speaker 1: make those calls, and they clearly practice these kinds of things.
- 18:09Speaker 1: The team believes it right, and so they're converting at
- 18:11Speaker 1: a higher level on the plays that make the game.
- 18:14Speaker 1: If there's six or seven plays in a game, they're
- 18:16Speaker 1: converting at a higher level because he's got them in
- 18:19Speaker 1: a position to do that. It's interesting you talk about
- 18:23Speaker 1: continuing to bet a game when you believe in the number.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I did that with the Colts. I did a lot
- 18:28Speaker 1: with the Steelers this week. Bet him at three and
- 18:32Speaker 1: a half, bet him at four, Bet him again at
- 18:35Speaker 1: four and a half. Bet the under Like initially we
- 18:40Speaker 1: were nervous about this game, and then we saw all
- 18:43Speaker 1: the numbers that Evan was giving us. Tomlin is an
- 18:47Speaker 1: underdog throughout his career. Tomlin is an underdog in this series,
- 18:51Speaker 1: the underdog generally in this series. Lamar as a favorite,
- 18:56Speaker 1: not being very good like again and again and again,
- 19:00Speaker 1: ended up having, you know, for me, an uncomfortable amount
- 19:04Speaker 1: of money on this game, and it was fucking zany.
- 19:11Speaker 4: Yeah, it's nice when you can kind of not I
- 19:13Speaker 4: don't want to call it lazy betting, but it's kind
- 19:16Speaker 4: of lazy, Like me and Chad pretty much said it
- 19:18Speaker 4: where it's like, we don't have a choice. We've been
- 19:20Speaker 4: betting this exact spot ever since me and Chad started
- 19:23Speaker 4: working together. We just always take the dog, especially if
- 19:25Speaker 4: it's over three and a half every time, and people
- 19:29Speaker 4: complained about it, They're like, there's more to it. You
- 19:31Speaker 4: can't just bundy bet these trends. I hate it too, people.
- 19:34Speaker 4: You think I like it when people can just lazily
- 19:36Speaker 4: be like, no, you take the dog on the under.
- 19:38Speaker 3: It's annoying.
- 19:39Speaker 4: I agree, but it wins and we just keep doing it.
- 19:42Speaker 4: You can go through all the previous times these teams
- 19:44Speaker 4: are played and what the scores were like. It sounds crazy,
- 19:48Speaker 4: but it's just history continually to repeat itself, and that's
- 19:51Speaker 4: what we happen in this game. So I had totally
- 19:53Speaker 4: given up ten to three. Kenny Pickott could not do
- 19:56Speaker 4: a single thing. I was saying what all you guys
- 19:58Speaker 4: were saying. I was like, that was such a stud
- 20:00Speaker 4: cod bet this. This offense is broken. This team has
- 20:03Speaker 4: no heart, they have no desire. And the magic happened
- 20:06Speaker 4: and they totally flipped, and me and Chad Simar are
- 20:08Speaker 4: sitting here on a money line winner on Pittsburgh and
- 20:11Speaker 4: I just came with there won seventeen to ten. Football
- 20:14Speaker 4: is just really stupid sometimes, and that's why you just
- 20:16Speaker 4: you bet the number of people like we gave you
- 20:18Speaker 4: the trends.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Everything is there next year.
- 20:21Speaker 4: If this opportunity pops up again, even if it's a
- 20:25Speaker 4: Raven's a three and a half, you already know what
- 20:26Speaker 4: me and Chad are gonna do. We're gonna take the
- 20:28Speaker 4: dog in this position. So yeah, love when the numbers
- 20:31Speaker 4: hit like that.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Chad.
- 20:33Speaker 1: I made a note in the middle of this game
- 20:35Speaker 1: two things. One, George Pickens is the only offensive weapon.
- 20:40Speaker 1: And then in the last in the last four minutes,
- 20:42Speaker 1: he made every catch that mattered. And then I wrote,
- 20:45Speaker 1: the only way the Steelers cover this game is a
- 20:49Speaker 1: big play that gives them a short field and then
- 20:53Speaker 1: fucking chaos, like there was a they had the block punt,
- 20:57Speaker 1: they had, there was the safety, then they had the fumble.
- 21:01Speaker 1: The Steelers had the fumble, I think it was on
- 21:03Speaker 1: the return kick for the safety. And then the Ravens
- 21:06Speaker 1: are driving and they have the miraculous Joey Porter junior
- 21:11Speaker 1: interception in the end zone, and then can you Pickett
- 21:16Speaker 1: hitch George Pickens for a bomb, Like, are you freaking
- 21:19Speaker 1: kidding me that they won this game? That it is
- 21:23Speaker 1: somehow simon. The Steelers are tied with the Ravens at
- 21:27Speaker 1: three and two for first place in the AFC North.
- 21:31Speaker 1: The Colts are three and two and contending in the
- 21:37Speaker 1: AFC South. What in the be jeesus is happening here?
- 21:43Speaker 3: Yeah? And uh, you know.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Again, I have no idea how the rest of the
- 21:50Speaker 4: season is going to go. But there's always times where
- 21:52Speaker 4: I feel bad for the fan bases. I feel horrible
- 21:55Speaker 4: for the Raves. They're about to be three to ozho
- 21:57Speaker 4: in their division, all games won, all the road and
- 22:01Speaker 4: it just all fell apart there at the end, Like
- 22:03Speaker 4: you're up ten eight with the ball and your your
- 22:05Speaker 4: opponent's red zone. It's just football, so sickening, Like it's
- 22:09Speaker 4: the sickest. That's why we make these bets. Like, yeah,
- 22:11Speaker 4: do I feel an idiot when we're gonna talk about Denver?
- 22:14Speaker 4: I feel like a fucking idiot. Yeah, that was horrible bet.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Horrible read. That's life betting bad teams. If I had
- 22:19Speaker 4: a model that told me they're gonna fumble the ball
- 22:21Speaker 4: three times, probably would have faded Denver probably would have
- 22:24Speaker 4: been the right read. So this is life betting bad
- 22:27Speaker 4: teams like they're gonna do sloppy, shitty stuff, and that
- 22:30Speaker 4: Pittsburgh one had all the makings of I don't know
- 22:33Speaker 4: how they're gonna get to this number, but they're gonna
- 22:34Speaker 4: somehow get to it.
- 22:35Speaker 3: And that's just a great feel when those numbers work out.
- 22:38Speaker 2: All right.
- 22:38Speaker 1: So you mentioned Denver. That's the one game that we lost.
- 22:41Speaker 1: We had Denver minus two and a half in the contest,
- 22:44Speaker 1: and I could see why, like we were just fading.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Zach Wilson.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I was a little surprised this was your best bet
- 22:50Speaker 1: of the day and convinced me that you went with
- 22:53Speaker 1: this instead of New Orleans or something else, Like we
- 22:55Speaker 1: had talked about New Orleans all week, and like we
- 22:57Speaker 1: were so in on yours, and you know, we Max
- 23:02Speaker 1: Jones is terrible. We knew that before this game we
- 23:06Speaker 1: were and we knew Matthew Judown was out and Christian
- 23:09Speaker 1: Gonzalez was out and look the Broncos, two truly incompetent teams. First,
- 23:16Speaker 1: have safety for the Jets against the Broncos, Jets couldn't
- 23:20Speaker 1: spike the ball for a field goal at the end
- 23:22Speaker 1: of the half from inside the Broncos five. The Denver
- 23:26Speaker 1: d gave up a massive touchdown run to Breis Hall, fumbled,
- 23:29Speaker 1: the Jets fumbled two punts, on one of them the
- 23:32Speaker 1: Broncos recovered and then fumbled it right back. The Jets
- 23:35Speaker 1: throw a pick six in a pick in the end
- 23:37Speaker 1: zone when they could have closed the game out, and
- 23:40Speaker 1: then the Broncos fumbled for a scoop and scorer for
- 23:42Speaker 1: the Jet to seal it.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Like I'm so glad it's over.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and it sucks. So probably the bed Denver again
- 23:50Speaker 3: next week.
- 23:51Speaker 4: But honestly, no regret. Its like I played a number there.
- 23:55Speaker 4: My read on Wilson was pretty true. I mean it
- 23:57Speaker 4: was thirteen eight a halftime, and you know, Sean Payton,
- 24:01Speaker 4: this this guy I do high in high regards. His
- 24:04Speaker 4: offense came out had four to three and outs in
- 24:05Speaker 4: the second half. Like you're not gonna win any games
- 24:09Speaker 4: like that. I don't care who you're playing against. And
- 24:11Speaker 4: unfortunately it didn't really matter what Zach Wilson did. They
- 24:13Speaker 4: had the running game working, and I think Hale the
- 24:16Speaker 4: run you're talking about was their first or maybe second
- 24:18Speaker 4: possession of the second half. He just broke a long
- 24:20Speaker 4: one for a touchdown and kind of kind of sealed
- 24:23Speaker 4: our fate. Just too many turnovers by the Broncos. So yeah,
- 24:26Speaker 4: the afternoon games weren't kind of me like, even even
- 24:30Speaker 4: though we didn't have it in there, I had a
- 24:31Speaker 4: decent amount on that Vikings not three and a half
- 24:35Speaker 4: but the four and a half, and it was just like,
- 24:37Speaker 4: you know, one of those days where you play the
- 24:40Speaker 4: numbers and it felt like a good read, but it
- 24:43Speaker 4: clearly was it. The Chiefs for the better team all day.
- 24:45Speaker 4: Even when Kelsey went out, their offense still didn't miss
- 24:48Speaker 4: a beat. So they're just gonna come to the territory
- 24:51Speaker 4: betting bad teams. They're not always gonna get there for you.
- 24:54Speaker 3: It's just how it goes.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually didn't hesitate at all on the Broncos.
- 24:57Speaker 1: I felt like, yeah, makes sense, like the numbers right,
- 25:01Speaker 1: less than a field go. The Jets haven't proven it
- 25:03Speaker 1: yet now they have, like Zach Wilson was better for
- 25:06Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. Simon, I want you and
- 25:11Speaker 1: I want everybody listening to make Little Caesars, which is
- 25:13Speaker 1: the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, part of your
- 25:17Speaker 1: game day, Simon can Little Caesars calm you down after
- 25:21Speaker 1: a tough loss on game day?
- 25:23Speaker 3: Yeah, it can.
- 25:24Speaker 2: You can calm anyone down.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Order online during our Pizza Pizza pre game one hour
- 25:29Speaker 1: before NFL games and get ready for some football and fun.

- 25:35Speaker 1: you crave. Simon what percentage of a pizza surface should
- 25:41Speaker 1: be covered in.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Toppings, all but the crust, All but the crust.
- 25:45Speaker 1: That is, basically, it's like the one hundred and two
- 25:48Speaker 1: yard run back. That's how much toppings Simon wants covering
- 25:52Speaker 1: the top of the pizza.
- 25:54Speaker 2: However you handle your Little Caesars, you win.
- 25:56Speaker 1: And speaking of winning, everyone scores with convenient delivery or
- 26:00Speaker 1: our in store pizza portal pickup. So grab some friends
- 26:03Speaker 1: and enjoy a few slices during the game. All right,
- 26:07Speaker 1: to recap our foxlaw was Indie plus two and a
- 26:09Speaker 1: half check Big Balls Bet of the Week, Pittsburgh plus
- 26:15Speaker 1: four check EXAC decision New Orleans.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Plus one and a half.
- 26:20Speaker 1: When Simon says Atlanta minus two, all right, that push,
- 26:24Speaker 1: but if you were really listening, you should have you
- 26:26Speaker 1: should have gotten it at minus one and a half.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Our round Robin. We had Pittsburgh we won. We had
- 26:31Speaker 1: Indy we won. We had the Rams we lost. We
- 26:33Speaker 1: had Minnesota we lost. We had Arizona we lost.
- 26:39Speaker 2: So two out of the five.
- 26:42Speaker 1: For those joining live right now, our Sunday Night Football
- 26:45Speaker 1: lean Simon, You and I are overloaded on San Francisco
- 26:50Speaker 1: minus three and a half. It's the remaining bet of
- 26:52Speaker 1: our phaves five to hopefully go four and one. Give
- 26:58Speaker 1: people a little bit of a rundown on why you're
- 26:59Speaker 1: still liking San Francisco.
- 27:03Speaker 4: I mean, we had a bunch of reasons, but the
- 27:05Speaker 4: biggest one is we just we'd like this matchup for
- 27:07Speaker 4: the forty nine ers.
- 27:09Speaker 3: You know, situationally, they they should win this game.
- 27:12Speaker 4: They're the better team right now, they're the healthier team
- 27:14Speaker 4: looking at this matchup. Offensively, we think they're gonna be
- 27:17Speaker 4: able to run the ball against Dallas. And you know,
- 27:19Speaker 4: I said a lot of questions about Dallas right now,
- 27:21Speaker 4: so it's not too shocking. The number has not moved
- 27:24Speaker 4: at all. If they just hang up there, it's just
- 27:26Speaker 4: stayed there all week. You know, me and Chad normally
- 27:30Speaker 4: would always be on the dog in this spot, but
- 27:32Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers is a home favorite tends to
- 27:35Speaker 4: go pretty chalky, so it's been a pretty good week
- 27:38Speaker 4: for Chalk. I think the number one bet between bets
- 27:41Speaker 4: and tickets was Miami. They covered outright, was never really
- 27:45Speaker 4: a sweat, even though they threw a pick six the
- 27:47Speaker 4: other other end zone, and Detroit, another team most publicly
- 27:51Speaker 4: bet team Double Ditch Dog covered. So hopefully the chalk'sman
- 27:55Speaker 4: keeps going good, Chad, and we get another one here
- 27:58Speaker 4: to close out Sunday night and.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Go for him.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Evan, I wonder if you could type this into the
- 28:03Speaker 1: chat while I'm saying a couple more things about this game,
- 28:06Speaker 1: But I do wonder did the Giants end up going
- 28:09Speaker 1: below that twenty percent or fifteen percent betting threshold. I
- 28:15Speaker 1: do feel like with this Niners game, until this morning,
- 28:19Speaker 1: I'm convinced me I hadn't heard anyone tell me why
- 28:22Speaker 1: they liked the Cowboys other than feeling like the teams
- 28:25Speaker 1: are evenly mashed and they're getting the hook, which to
- 28:27Speaker 1: me wasn't enough because I actually feel like the Niners
- 28:29Speaker 1: have a better coach, better scheme, better offense, equal defense
- 28:33Speaker 1: at worst.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Stucky had a little bit more.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Logic about not believing in the Niners rush defense, but
- 28:41Speaker 1: against the spread, Shanahan is above five hundred as a
- 28:45Speaker 1: fave of more than three at home. McCarthy and Deck
- 28:47Speaker 1: together are above five hundred against the spread when they
- 28:52Speaker 1: are dogs of.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Three or more on the road.
- 28:55Speaker 1: The only stat that stood out to me, which I
- 28:57Speaker 1: think plays into sort of how we think of the
- 29:00Speaker 1: Cowboys and dak as a team that tends to choke,
- 29:05Speaker 1: is he is twenty and five straight up in night
- 29:09Speaker 1: games during his career when he's a favorite, and three
- 29:12Speaker 1: and seven when he's a dog. So this is not
- 29:13Speaker 1: a spot that he tends to win. Forget about covering.
- 29:15Speaker 1: He doesn't tend to win in this.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Spot all right. Tomorrow night we got the Packers visiting
- 29:23Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders. We previewed this.
- 29:27Speaker 1: In the show last week. I think at the time
- 29:32Speaker 1: the Raiders were one point underdogs. Now they're two point favorites.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I don't love betting on a team when it swings
- 29:40Speaker 1: from underdog to favorite. The trends are against us. How
- 29:43Speaker 1: are you feeling about this?
- 29:45Speaker 4: Yeah, game, we talked a little bit about two and
- 29:48Speaker 4: a half. They're plus two and a half on Tuesday.
- 29:50Speaker 4: The Lions are running by the time we do the
- 29:52Speaker 4: show Thursday, and it was announced Jimmy would be the
- 29:54Speaker 4: starter got two and a half. I think there got
- 29:57Speaker 4: the minus two and a half. Now it's settled at
- 29:58Speaker 4: minus two. I'm with Chad like I still probably would
- 30:02Speaker 4: bet on the Raiders. I probably still will, but totally
- 30:06Speaker 4: get if you don't like this summer you just want
- 30:07Speaker 4: to skip. I just it's hard for me to back
- 30:09Speaker 4: level on the road against a Raiders team. It's just
- 30:11Speaker 4: desperate here for a win. So I'll take the tick
- 30:15Speaker 4: the home favorite here at minus two.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Simon, can you name the fastest growing ticketing app in
- 30:21Speaker 1: the United States?
- 30:23Speaker 3: Game Time?
- 30:24Speaker 2: That's right, it's.
- 30:25Speaker 1: A sponsor, game Time. I love game Time for two reasons.
- 30:28Speaker 1: One they sponsored this show, thank you very much. But
- 30:31Speaker 1: number two, I actually use game Time to buy tickets.
- 30:34Speaker 1: You guys have heard me talk about it so many times,
- 30:36Speaker 1: as recently as telling my wife to buy tickets for
- 30:40Speaker 1: a Michigan football game through game Time. It is an
- 30:45Speaker 1: amazing product. They've got amazing last minute deals on all
- 30:49Speaker 1: sorts of tickets, including pro and college football games. Speaking
- 30:53Speaker 1: of which, I'm actually going to open game Time right
- 30:56Speaker 1: now from my house. I'm looking at it I can
- 30:59Speaker 1: see games. Look, I can go see the Jets next week,
- 31:03Speaker 1: or I can go see the New York Knicks preseason
- 31:06Speaker 1: basketball less than eighty bucks. I catu see the Brooklyn
- 31:10Speaker 1: Nets preseason basketball for ten bucks. Whatever you need, no
- 31:14Speaker 1: matter where you live, download the game time app. Get

- 31:35Speaker 1: Week six, we're looking at some lines on bet three
- 31:38Speaker 1: six five right now, Simon, I wrote some down that
- 31:40Speaker 1: I thought might be early leans for US buys next week.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Are the Packers.
- 31:45Speaker 1: And the the AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 31:50Speaker 2: They're Juggernaut shut them down. First game.
- 31:54Speaker 1: I looked at Titans plus four and a half hosting
- 31:58Speaker 1: the Ravens'.
- 32:02Speaker 4: It stinks, but I'll take it because I do think
- 32:04Speaker 4: it's going to drop. But first glance, I'm just like why,
- 32:07Speaker 4: and the why in the world is just so high
- 32:09Speaker 4: that this should be three three and a half at
- 32:11Speaker 4: most it's foreign, right, So I'll take the value and
- 32:14Speaker 4: for me and chatter walk into a trap, will buy
- 32:16Speaker 4: out of it. But I got to take that early
- 32:18Speaker 4: value on Tennessee.
- 32:19Speaker 2: But why do we think it would be that right now?
- 32:23Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 32:24Speaker 4: It's a weird line. I do not get it because
- 32:27Speaker 4: I don't know all the respect given of this Ravens team.
- 32:29Speaker 4: And yeah, Tennessee played bad, but that's kind of how
- 32:32Speaker 4: divisional games go, right, And that's why I feel the
- 32:34Speaker 4: same with the Ravens, where it's like maybe this is
- 32:38Speaker 4: we're reacting to the Ravens and they're not as bad
- 32:40Speaker 4: as we perceive right now, or it's Tennessee now as
- 32:43Speaker 4: good as we perceive. But four and a half, that's
- 32:45Speaker 4: that's a huge number for this Ravens team to be catching.
- 32:47Speaker 4: So I'll walk into it right now with you chatd,
- 32:50Speaker 4: I'll grab the four and a half.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Well, I'm seeing it drop a little bit, so what
- 32:53Speaker 1: do we think about? What do we think of it
- 32:55Speaker 1: at four?
- 32:56Speaker 4: Yes, still grabbing, Like to me, it should be three,
- 32:59Speaker 4: Like that's that number makes sense here. So it's I'm
- 33:02Speaker 4: happy it's dropping because at least the smart money's coming
- 33:04Speaker 4: in on Tennessee. But like, what a weird number to
- 33:08Speaker 4: hang by the sports book.
- 33:09Speaker 2: It's so strange.
- 33:11Speaker 1: I don't get it. I totally don't get it.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Grab it, grab it.
- 33:15Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm hitting it right now because geez, Louise,
- 33:19Speaker 1: that makes no sense.
- 33:20Speaker 2: We love Rabel in this spot.
- 33:22Speaker 1: And I will say, like Tannehill is getting the ball
- 33:24Speaker 1: off faster than any player in the NFL right now,
- 33:27Speaker 1: and when he's in, like DeAndre Hopkins was amazing today.
- 33:30Speaker 1: So there were moments where it was not going to
- 33:32Speaker 1: be easy to win that game. As an Indian in Indianapolis.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Colts better, all right, another game. I looked at Denver
- 33:41Speaker 1: plus ten and a half a Kansas City on Thursday night.
- 33:45Speaker 3: We can do it. We always lose this bet. Though,
- 33:48Speaker 3: we lose this bet every time.
- 33:50Speaker 4: We make this bet every time, doesn't matter if it's Lock,
- 33:53Speaker 4: doesn't matter, if it's Wilson.
- 33:55Speaker 3: We bet.
- 33:55Speaker 4: We bet every time I do the show with you chat,
- 33:57Speaker 4: we take this number, and we somehow, we somehow always die.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Yes.
- 34:02Speaker 4: I don't know if em will have the numbers for
- 34:04Speaker 4: us by Tuesday, but I promise you.
- 34:07Speaker 3: We take this number every time.
- 34:09Speaker 4: We take them here every time, and it just never
- 34:11Speaker 4: works out for us, but we're suckers to it. I
- 34:13Speaker 4: saw it too, and it's like the same massive number
- 34:16Speaker 4: for a Thursday night on a short week.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Like Mahomes does not cover this number.
- 34:24Speaker 1: It's too big, I know, And honestly, it's entirely possible
- 34:28Speaker 1: the number goes higher based on what's happening today.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:33Speaker 4: I don't know if it goes higher though, because like
- 34:35Speaker 4: the pros will take this again a ten and a half.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
- 34:39Speaker 4: This is insane. This number is insane. So we will
- 34:42Speaker 4: take this number and we will lose this every time.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Chat. It's just it's it's truly history repeat itself.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Me and Chat can't help it. The books know it.
- 34:50Speaker 4: The public gets fat off Mahome somehow every time it
- 34:53Speaker 4: is a double digit favorite against Denver. I don't get it,
- 34:56Speaker 4: but we have to. We have to bet the stumber
- 34:58Speaker 4: number and I hate it.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Look aheadline on this with seven.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Oh shit, yeah, so that's insane.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Come on, we're betting this game, all right?
- 35:11Speaker 3: Sometimes Thank god, we can't put this in contest.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Though, Oh god, no, there's no way, all right, what
- 35:17Speaker 1: about Indy this week? And if I skip a game,
- 35:21Speaker 1: if I get a game that, like you haven't thought
- 35:23Speaker 1: about yet, please interrupt me.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Now, I grabbed India five. It's running.
- 35:26Speaker 4: It's already four and a half four at some books,
- 35:28Speaker 4: so it's just another number I'm gonna grab now. Let
- 35:32Speaker 4: the week play out, see who the quarterback is, and
- 35:34Speaker 4: if it moves against being Chad, maybe we'll get out.
- 35:37Speaker 4: But I'll just take the early value here on the
- 35:39Speaker 4: Colts team that you know, Chad said it like there's
- 35:43Speaker 4: there's a little bit of magic to this team. They
- 35:44Speaker 4: just play really hard, They're really well coached. I don't
- 35:48Speaker 4: really know if the Jaguars are good at They've just
- 35:51Speaker 4: been in England for two weeks. Like this is just
- 35:53Speaker 4: a really strange team that I'm not going to overreact
- 35:56Speaker 4: to them beating the Bills today because a lot goes
- 35:58Speaker 4: into that. The Bills just got out slow, kind of
- 36:00Speaker 4: sawd you know, Josh Allen get it together by the
- 36:02Speaker 4: second half.
- 36:03Speaker 3: But it was just too late.
- 36:04Speaker 4: So uh yeah, the grab the four and a half
- 36:06Speaker 4: another game. We'll just grab it now if we need
- 36:09Speaker 4: to go, buy out of the position. But this is
- 36:10Speaker 4: one of the first bets I made before you jumped
- 36:12Speaker 4: on a five.
- 36:14Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm glad I'm seeing the same thing
- 36:16Speaker 2: as you are. Seattle plus three, Seattle plus three, who
- 36:23Speaker 2: are they playing? I wrote the number down, but I forgot.
- 36:25Speaker 3: To playing the Bengals.
- 36:27Speaker 4: It's already gone, so we can keep it moving because
- 36:29Speaker 4: I'll probably be at the Bengals at two and a half.
- 36:31Speaker 4: But I got where youre coming from. I liked it
- 36:34Speaker 4: at three, but it's already two and a half in
- 36:35Speaker 4: a lot of books, so I might end up on Bengals.
- 36:37Speaker 4: They just they looked like they got it right today
- 36:39Speaker 4: with Joe and his deep ball to Jamar Chase.
- 36:41Speaker 3: Looks so much better, all right.
- 36:43Speaker 1: The last one that I was looking at, which made
- 36:45Speaker 1: me sick, but I had to think about it for
- 36:47Speaker 1: a second. New York Giants plus fourteen and a half
- 36:50Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills.
- 36:55Speaker 3: It's the same thing with Miami last week.
- 36:56Speaker 4: When do I ever take a public team double digits
- 36:59Speaker 4: getting ty be's a nine percent of the tickets?
- 37:01Speaker 1: Never?
- 37:02Speaker 4: But I just did with Miami because I just felt
- 37:04Speaker 4: like the line was too overrated because the Giants defense.
- 37:07Speaker 4: I don't think the books have caught up to it.
- 37:09Speaker 4: I don't know if I don't think they know it
- 37:10Speaker 4: a great. How banged up this team is offensively and defensively,
- 37:13Speaker 4: so I can't get there. But when the hardest game
- 37:16Speaker 4: isn't happen with right now, we'll just touch on it
- 37:17Speaker 4: real quick. Yeah, is Cleveland forty nine ers? It's it's
- 37:20Speaker 4: plus three for Cleveland?
- 37:22Speaker 3: What the fuck? Like?
- 37:24Speaker 4: Automatically, I bet the forty nine ers heer just in
- 37:27Speaker 4: case they do blow out the Cowboys tonight, and this
- 37:29Speaker 4: could easily get up to minus four. But another weird
- 37:34Speaker 4: number spooks the hell out of me. Just thrown a
- 37:36Speaker 4: little bit on the forty nine erser in case they
- 37:38Speaker 4: do win big tonight. But the strangest number, like the
- 37:42Speaker 4: respect they have for Cleveland right now is pretty obvious,
- 37:44Speaker 4: Like yes, they're they're inviting you to come in right
- 37:47Speaker 4: now and take forty nine ers, so be careful. I
- 37:49Speaker 4: know it's a sucker is better now and walking into it.
- 37:51Speaker 4: I'm just hoping me and chatter are right about tonight
- 37:54Speaker 4: fortynineers winning cover the number goes up to four, then
- 37:56Speaker 4: I have good value. But don't be shocked if me
- 37:59Speaker 4: and Chatted up on Cleveland next week. It just it
- 38:01Speaker 4: just looks like one of the games that will be
- 38:03Speaker 4: an Island taking. But this is a stinky number of
- 38:06Speaker 4: minus three right now. I'll take a little bit on
- 38:08Speaker 4: this forty nine ers team.
- 38:09Speaker 1: It's stinks, Simon, I'm telling you right now with stinks.
- 38:13Speaker 1: So what I missed? Did I miss any of the
- 38:15Speaker 1: lines that you might have hit already?
- 38:18Speaker 3: Uh? No, one's gonna bet it.
- 38:23Speaker 4: The only other bet I made so far is Tampa
- 38:25Speaker 4: Bay box the plus three right now against the lines.
- 38:28Speaker 4: It's just a fade off the lines of the most
- 38:29Speaker 4: type team of football right now. I like to fay
- 38:32Speaker 4: golf on the road after that kind of when outdoors.
- 38:36Speaker 4: I fucking hate it too. I get it. You're just like,
- 38:38Speaker 4: why am I doing this right now? You can wait
- 38:40Speaker 4: if you want. I'm just grabbing a case the professional
- 38:42Speaker 4: money comes in on it. But Tampa, it's a it's
- 38:45Speaker 4: a nice home dog spot to fade this Lions team.
- 38:48Speaker 3: So it sucks.
- 38:49Speaker 4: I hate that we got to do it, but I'm
- 38:50Speaker 4: taking the three right now just in case it drops down.
- 38:54Speaker 1: No, you're right, I looked at that one and sort
- 38:56Speaker 1: of ran over it and had I had that's hard.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I had ulterior motives for it, partially because preview I'm
- 39:04Speaker 1: thinking about something with the Lions for our film session
- 39:07Speaker 1: for the Favorites, and I'm like, do I want to
- 39:12Speaker 1: be talking about a team that I might want to
- 39:14Speaker 1: be betting against on that? Yea? So so I was debating,
- 39:17Speaker 1: like where am I going to land?
- 39:18Speaker 2: So I wanted to figure that out. I want to
- 39:22Speaker 2: figure that out first all.
- 39:23Speaker 3: I think it's going to go up. Honesty, I think
- 39:24Speaker 3: I'll go three and a half four if you want
- 39:27Speaker 3: to wait.
- 39:27Speaker 1: But I do want to wait. I mean, I liked
- 39:30Speaker 1: the bucks here and I feel I just.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Want people to understand that's a game we're probably going
- 39:33Speaker 3: to be on.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Yes, I one hundred percent agree, totally agree. All right,
- 39:38Speaker 1: So just to be clear, we hit the Titans that
- 39:42Speaker 1: was about four and a half, actually four running Denver,
- 39:48Speaker 1: we hit a plus ten and a half, even though
- 39:50Speaker 1: we know we're going to get killed, just for a
- 39:51Speaker 1: little taste. Don't listen, it's Sunday night, don't overload. This
- 39:56Speaker 1: is about getting the best of the number, right, and
- 39:58Speaker 1: we're like, just know that you might have to play
- 40:03Speaker 1: ugly numbers sometimes and we bet.
- 40:06Speaker 4: And sometimes it doesn't even matter, Like Chad didn't get it,
- 40:08Speaker 4: but I was on Arizona plus four and a half.
- 40:10Speaker 4: I played back small in the Bengals of two and
- 40:12Speaker 4: a half, but like my real bet was Cardinals four
- 40:14Speaker 4: and a half, had a great number, felt great all week,
- 40:18Speaker 4: got smashed. So it's like sometimes it doesn't matter if
- 40:20Speaker 4: you get the best number.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Right, and we like Indie plus five. I'm actually seeing
- 40:25Speaker 1: some five and a half's out there, simon. So if
- 40:27Speaker 1: you can get it, get it.
- 40:31Speaker 2: All right. As a reminder, the Favorite podcast is presented
