  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the favorites live on YouTube presented by draft Kings.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: The crown is yours. I'm your host, Brandon Kravitz joined
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: by the totals queen Kendra Middleton. What a weekend she had.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We will detail that and all of our wildest reactions
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to the football weekend. A lot to sort through Kendra.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I almost forgot how hectic, how stressful an NFL Sunday
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: can be once a year. It's a reminder. that you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: can't really appreciate it until you live it. I mean,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I'm on the edge of my seat. I'm stressed out
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to the max. I've probably took years off of my life.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I overbet the card. I got to learn this lesson
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: every year. How was your weekend?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I had a fantastic weekend.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I snuggled on the dog with snuggled on the couch
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: with the dog. I did not snuggle on the dog,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: snuggle on the couch with the dog. It consumed way
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: too much football. Um, I made some chicken wings, went
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: for a W a L K.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: That was pretty much my weekend.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Lots of football. The dog is in the room. She
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: can't say the word for those that are wondering why
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: she's spelling the word.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not, there are lots of words.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you have that as well. Australian shepherds are brilliant.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yes. Mine is getting old, so he's kind of dumb now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I think I could get away with walk. Sorry. I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have said that out loud. If my weekend was
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: an album title, I want you to think about this
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: for a second, too, for the weekend, the weekend that
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you had. This could go in many different directions. Okay.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Overeager bet mush, I think, would be mine. I just
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: went way too hard into the paint, oversizing my bets,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: not composed in my selections. a part of my issue
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is that I've been betting for week one for four months.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: So it's not even like I was sitting there just like,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: like a, you know, like a 14 year old who
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: got his dad's phone, just like mashing the keys on
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning. I made two bets on Sunday morning, but
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it tipped me over the scale. So I just, I'm
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: not happy with myself and I'm not happy with Kamari
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Lassiter because all would have been okay in the world.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I would have come out slightly ahead of, From Sunday
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: had Kamari Lassiter just caught the Yolo ball from Josh Allen,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but instead he drops it. And then you can't give
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Allen second opportunities. She throws a touchdown on the next
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: pass attempt. And here we are. So I'm a broken
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: up about it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: We will get into my beef with you and John
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: in a minute. But for my own sake, how many
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: bets did you have yesterday? Because I'm just not one
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: of those people. We talk about this all the time.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I make less than 10 bets on any given anything.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And that's it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding when I say this, Kendra, it is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the thing that I respect the most about you. It
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is the thing I try and learn from people that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I admire in my life. And there's a lot of them.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And the thing I try and learn from you is
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to be more composed in my betting, because when I am,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at this. When I'm not, I'm always
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bad at it. So I don't know why I do
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: this to myself. I had 13 bets going yesterday between
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: props and teasers and straight bets and It's too much.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It's too much. But a lot of that just has
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to do with, and it's a reminder for the next year.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You know, this is the first full year now that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: we've been doing this podcast.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I've always anniversary to us.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Happy anniversary.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We started, I think like really weak one last year.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So last, so this past off season was the first
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: off season where I was breaking down an NFL betting
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: card for five months. I'd never really done that before.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And it did not go well for me. So it's,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it's not even like an overthink. It's just, we just
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: have too much time on our hands.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Added to the algorithm next year.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The process was okay. I just sort of over processed.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: There was just too much. I mean, it's like, it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: kind of like it. They're Thanksgiving or whatever. Like, are
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you just, it, it's not what you eat. It's that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you never fucking stopped eating. That was the problem. Eventually,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: something's going to go wrong if you do that. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: so that was my issue. The biggest bonehead this weekend
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of the entire betting card for me was myself. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: you know what? We get it out of the way early, Kendra.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: It's all good. Now, in the contest, we still have
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to come out ahead, even though the Texans
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: bet that I nominated did not get home. It should have.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It didn't. We chose Texas.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Texas did not choose y'all.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I told... Mallory, my wife, for those that don't know
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: her name, I told her because I had live bet
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the Texas Longhorns the night before at plus two and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a half. And then they go down 20 to three.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They come all the way back and win the game.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So I win that bet. And Houston is now on
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the doorstep of covering at the end of the game
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: before Josh Allen throws that Yolo ball that doesn't get intercepted.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I said, I will line dance in the living room
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to Ella Langley. If he catches, if, if the Texans cover,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: because this would be two times in a row that
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I've miracle covered on a Texas team, I was going
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to start dancing and it didn't end up happening. So,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you know, the, the family was, uh, was saved from that. Um,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Back to the point three and two, we have an
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: opportunity to go three and two. If the Denver Broncos
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: cover two and a half, I vetoed the Ravens. My
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: apologies again on that part of the weekend of screw ups.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: What was your one?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Y'all really screwed us over. I had the Jags nominated.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I did too. That was John's fault. I'm willing to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: put that on your Stremski.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I should have used my veto on your stupid Texans bills.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: And the Ravens, I was so right about.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So I don't regret the Texans. I just regret that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: they didn't get the job done. I felt like the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: read was right. The defense was not there for them.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So the game certainly didn't go the way that I thought,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: but they should have covered that. They should have covered
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that three different times.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Can I say something?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I get that that game was high scoring, but But
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I kind of hated it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted to see.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Defensive football with, you know, some big stops. And I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: get that it was high scoring and people love. I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: think I put this in my personal notes. I heard
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: last night that it was the highest scoring week one
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: since like the merger, which is crazy that I had
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: so many unders hit.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And that's the case.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: But I just it was high scoring. I wanted to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: see more defense. I didn't have the best time watching
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: this game. And I was in very much in the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: camp that I thought that this would be one of
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the best games of the year. And I was pissed
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: that they put it in this window. I'm actually glad
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that this wasn't prime time now. Did the NFL know something?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Well, they got, they got to throw some of the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: good ones at one o'clock. That game was great. As
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: far as it being highly competitive. Um, I thought CJ
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Stroud outside of a couple of turnovers looked really good, but.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It was not the flow that we expected. And it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the reason why I have a really hard time betting
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: totals in the NFL because of things like this. I mean,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that's so game script dependent, it turns into a shootout
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: at the end. And once you get, once Josh Allen
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: starts feeling it, it's like, okay, you can have the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: best defense in the world. There's only so much that
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you can do. And, um, the, uh, the, if you
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: like defense Sunday was not for you. 96 points scored
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: in the bears Panthers game. nine and four to the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: over where the games on the Sunday card. So, uh, so.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Overs were John who tried to convince me of the Panthers.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think it was you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It was, and you know, what's crazy too, is that if,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: so if I had told you, okay, I want to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: take the Panthers and I've already seen into the future
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and Bryce young has 361 passing yards with three touchdowns
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and they score 37 points. You'd be like, bet your
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: house on it. And they still didn't.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Defense blows.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. Yes, it does. 478 yards of offense for
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers. I promise you, if I could bet this,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I would. That will not happen again all season long
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: for the Carolina Panthers. And I cannot help but stare
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: at this. this total in week two between the bears
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and the Vikings sitting at 49 and a half right now,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: that is very tempting to take the over on anything
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: involving Chicago.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Depends on Kyler.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Are we sure that it, I almost want to take
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the under of Kyler plays. He looked terrible and his,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in his early time, Carson Wentz, I will nominate him
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: for one of the awards we have.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So, uh, Let's see where to next. Again, we need
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the Broncos to cover and we'll go three and two
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: week one, which I will take. I'll accept that. What
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: is your one big takeaway this weekend? What is Kendra
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Middleton's one big takeaway from the Sunday slate?
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I know that this is a Homer take, but the
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Jags are sick. They so easily could have just come
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: out week one and took their foot off the gas.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: They absolutely didn't got to bench Trevor and, And Deshaun
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: looked like crap. This team, some of the throws that
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: he made, I just, I'm going to say this. Actually,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: this is my real one big takeaway. We are writing
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: off quarterbacks way too quickly in this league. I've been
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: experiencing it all week with Drake May here in New
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: England specifically. I went through it with Trevor there were
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: times where I was like all right I'm done with
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: this this there's no coming back from here I think
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the overall takeaway that I have is that we need
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to give some of these young guys some grace and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: some room to grow and not write them off so
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: quickly we've seen so many careers turn around over the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: last couple of years Baker Mayfield, although I did not
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: think that he had the best week, Sam Darnold, Geno
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Smith before he went back to Geno Smith, and now
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence has grown up a bit. My overall takeaway
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: is that I don't think quarterbacks develop as quickly as
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: we would like them to, and we need to really
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: just step back and give them a little bit longer
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: before we freak out as a fan base, in any
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: fan base.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look at CJ Stroud. He's had his
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: ups and downs, but People are already writing him off.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels had a rough second season. I thought he
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: looked pretty good yesterday. Jalen hurts. People were all in
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: on him. Wins the Superbowl MVPs in top fives and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: people's rankings, and then just falls all the way out
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and becomes a guy that most people would not want
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to start a franchise with. And he's somebody in a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: new offense. I thought looked pretty sharp. I mean, Justin Herbert,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know where he falls into that mix. I'm
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: thinking about some of the guys that we just haven't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: formed full opinions on yet. And, and look, some of
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: them aren't going to work out, but in the most,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: for the most part, I think you're right. I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: allowing these quarterbacks to mature, uh, especially those that go
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: through big offensive coordinator changes. I think that's, uh, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: think that's important.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say something nice about Justin Herbert. Are
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: we ready to clip?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Are we ready to clip this?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: If I am a fan of probably over 20 teams
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: in the NFL and I'm looking for a quarterback in
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the next, you know, one to three years, I would
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: take Justin Herbert over a draft pick, you know, kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of gamble.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: This could be a good year for that because there
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: are going to be some teams that are racing to
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the bottom to get one of these top picks. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I've seen enough of arch Manning to say, uh, I'm not,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think that you should be making your, your
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: regular season plans. If you're any of these NFL franchises
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: off of what this kid has looked like, you.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't make any of your plans around a number one pick.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Look at the guys in the NFL right now who
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: are crushing it and weren't number one picks.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Not sorry. You can get a quarterback further back than one.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I'd rather not.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Now a great example of how these scouts like really
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: have no idea what they're talking about. Just like the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: rest of us. Dante Moore has been, we've been told
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: for the last couple of months, this is going to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: be the top quarterback taken in the draft. It's either
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: him or arch Manning. Have you watched these guys play yet?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: They're terrible. I mean, are there at least average that
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: you can't plan your future around these quarterbacks that aren't
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: even succeeding at the college level? Um, it's yeah, it's madness. So, um,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: that's the positive. Kendra's in on the Jags. She covered
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: on the Jags. We should have nominated. We should have
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: put them in the contest. We both did nominate. If
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: we both have a nomination, it's got to go in.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, this.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I just feel like it's rude to bully our guest.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I think we need to start bullying the guests. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: would like to put my foot down on the host
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: of the show. We're bullying guests from now on. You
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and I, it's so hard for you and I to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: agree on anything. If we agree on a spread. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: it's the Jags.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Everything we agreed about this week was a W. 49ers,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: we'll get to the birds of the year and the Jags.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yep. But didn't all go well. We've got receipts.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: You got to prove it to me. I got to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: see evidence.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I'll show you the receipts.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You don't believe me? I have the receipt for it
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And this is where we're going to take our shots
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: at each other for the stupid things that we say
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: on this podcast. You've been in on the Browns all
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: off season Kendra. This might be the worst team in
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the NFL. Zero chance. This team hits their wind total
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: over Deshaun Watson is awful.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I have a theory.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I think that they are just giving Deshaun the start
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: to the season. There's no way that they can put
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: him as a starter in a home opener without absolutely
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: getting booed out of there. I don't know if you
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: saw yesterday because you're not on Jags internet. There were
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Browns fans less than 10 rows up in the stands
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: who went and bought Jags jerseys and put them on.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't think, yes, yes.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't think that you can start him at
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: your home opener without people absolutely losing their mind. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I wholeheartedly believe, yes, I have a ticket on them
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: to win. I think over five, I can't remember if
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: it's four and a half or five and a half games.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I have way too many futures to be honest. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: think it's five and a half, but if they put
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Shador in at some point, I think it's an addition
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: by subtraction situation. I don't think that they're that far
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: off talent wise, but I think the team will get
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: up for Shador.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: They were, uh, they were bad, bad. pretty bad at everything.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And Deshaun Watson actually threw a gorgeous deep ball to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Denzel Boston with two minutes left. That version of Watson
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: could be interesting, but what he looks like the other
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: 58 minutes of the game, it's just, it's not, it's
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: not good enough. And because you don't have to worry
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: about Watson, you zero in on the run and then what,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and then their defense is rebuilt too, you know? So
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: they don't, they just have no redeeming qualities. I don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: think Todd Monken's a good head coach. I don't know
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: where this team even finds whether you have four and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a half or five and a half. I don't think
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: it matters. So I don't think they're hitting the over.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I get that they lost Miles Garrett, but I do
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: think that they got better in some places. Like I
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: like the Denzel Boston addition. I like Casey Concepcion. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: really think that Jared verse is one of the most
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: valuable players with his contract being what it is at
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: his position right now. I know that they're going to
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: eventually either have to sign him or let him go,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: but I just, they got better in certain spots outside of,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you know, losing miles, but the.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Quarterback position is just such a dumpster fire.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So you said that we need to give quarterbacks a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: little more time. I wonder how long we're going to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: feel that way about cam ward and one of the
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: other teams that you've been in on the Titans are
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: right behind them. Titans Browns dolphins are in a dog
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: fight for being the worst team in the NFL.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Don't let the jets trick you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: They have tricked me. I already got them in week two. Okay.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Who are they playing?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: The Packers. I get, I know, I get it. I'm
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: sure that this is an overreaction. I don't just don't
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: think the line has moved enough.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I think the Packers are going to kick their ass.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: This is why when we agree, it's got to go
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: in the contest because there's no way.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Holy shit.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: You stress me out, man. All right.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: And I bet their money line. Okay. So, um, look,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It's hard for me to give you shit after the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: weekend that you had the weekend that you had the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: weekend that I had. They were very different. You were
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: five and one on your card. You've been talking shit
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: about Justin Herbert all off season. He was terrible. The
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Ravens smashed. The Raiders looked sharp. The Bengals defenses lights
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: out most of the game. They turned Baker Mayfield over
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: four times. I think yesterday before I move on, is
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: there anything, I mean, there's, you've got plenty to choose from.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Is there anything you want to give me shit on?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: No, just you're on my shit list right now.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So kind.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling nice today.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: You're way too nice to me.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: We're dead in the water.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: If it crashes, it crashes, right?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Never stood a chance. No.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: It was Cash.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So clutch. All right, let's get to our Cash, Crash,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and Clutch. This is our version of Hi-Lo Hero, one
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: of Kendra's favorite games to play. Cash is going to
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: be the hero of the week. That's the guy, the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: team that That won us money that we are glowing
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: about on a Monday afternoon. This is by the way,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you're well, the show that you're watching right now, every
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: single Monday, Kendra and I are going to recap the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: action that we saw on Sunday. Go over some of
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the things that we like going into next week. Thursday
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: is going to be our full preview episode. We'll chat
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: with one of our favorite guests that joins us routinely
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and all of that. So that's the schedule breakdown throughout
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: the season. Who is your cash of the week?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Birds of the year, baby birds of the year. You
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and I both have been all over the Arizona Cardinals
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: before this. Thanks to some help from with some stats
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: from Evan Abrams as well. This just felt like such
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: a layup for us. I know when we were filling
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: out our card, there was a point where we almost
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: didn't add them. And I was like, no, we have
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: to add the Cardinals. They're the birds of the year.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: And they went out there, looked good on both sides
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: of the ball. Dewey Wingard, former Jag out there with
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the pick. I just, it was a fun weekend. It
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: was a fun game. I am all in on them.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I know that they have the toughest schedule in the NFL,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: but they're feisty, man. And I love Mike LaFleur. I
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: think that he is going to be, you know what?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: I think we should pod bet him coach of the year.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that. I like that. Let's see where
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: he is. He's going to be far down this list.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I think we need to do it now.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Matt. No, that's not Matt. We're looking for Mike. Where
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: are you at, Mike? Oh, Mike LaFleur. He's 15 to one. Wow.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to get any better, to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Okay. I'm in on that.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to add this to my color-coded notes.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, we've gone color-coded. We really are hitting.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: The next level. You know I have ADHD. Come on.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Got to do it. Got to do it. Yeah. Love,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: love what I saw from the Cardinals and what they
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: do in week two is going to be fascinating. We'll
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: break this down in detail on Thursday, but they play
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks and Seattle. We know isn't going to have
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. How much do you downgrade? the Seahawks and
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: not having Darnold and going to lock. I don't know
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: that it's that much.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: We got a bird off.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: They're plus five and a half. And it looks like
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: they're taking money early on. I think I might end
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: up on the Cardinals again. I just, you know, I'm,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I would already bet this if I didn't feel like
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I was, you don't want to get your hand caught
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: in the cookie jar and betting the Cardinals right now
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: feels like that, but I would definitely lean in that direction.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty big adjustment.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't be a question.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because then we would be getting, we'd probably be
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: getting three more points. I think it would be like
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: plus eight and a half. We could get on the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Cardinals in division. Oh God, I would love that. Five
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and a half is like, you know, first of all,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a dead number, so we can wait
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: on it. I think we wait on that. If we
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: end up with four and a half, we'll be all right.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: We'll wait. We'll wait. Look at me being all composed.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: We're going to wait on that one. Mine is Tyler Shuck.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I was lighting this man up in our group chat
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: with JJ on Sunday. He looked like he forgot how
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to play quarterback. He was nine of 21 at one
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: point in the first half with no touchdowns and interception
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and a fumble. He then finished the game with a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: career high in passing yards at 410, three passing touchdowns,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: easily out dueling the quarterback on the other side, Jared Goff.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: They were a two point conversion and overtime away from
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: winning this game, a play that probably should have been
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: past interference. First quarterback of the season to throw for
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: 400 plus yards. If you had told me that I
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: would be saying that while I was watching this guy
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: in the second quarter, I would have thought you were crazy.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So hats off to you, my friend, Tyler shuck, my
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: cash of the week. And I was on the saints
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: plus seven and a half.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: My question for you about this game is who do
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: you think it said more about?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: It's a good question. I think it says more about
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the lions. I'm a little concerned. Um, this is another
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: bet that I've made. So it kind of goes counter
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to what I'm about to tell you here. Cause I'm
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: on the lions plus three and a half against the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: bills on Thursday night. Um, I just like that you're
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: getting the hook, but I am a little worried season
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: long about the lions with this up 21 to nothing
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: at home and you blow it. That defense has always
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: been the issue. Jared golf out dueled by Tyler shuck.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: They can't give the ball to Jameer Gibbs 30 times
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: a game. He's not going to survive the season that way.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I'm worried about the Lions.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to be so careful with my
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: veto for Thursday with you already that it's just.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I might have.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: To text Emerson separately. We're going to have to conspire
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: against you.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: You will not be granted extra vetoes. Okay, who is your...
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Who was your crash of the week?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: My crash is I think it's going to be Baker Mayfield.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I just you just got signed. You can't go out
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: there and put a stinker like that up. I get
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: the Bengals are a good team, but they tried to
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: give it to you at times.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And Baker just didn't take care of the football.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: He looked I just I don't know if it was
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the fact that he had the distractions with the contract
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: going on in the preseason. Everyone's talking about Quarterback's not
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: getting enough work in the preseason, but he didn't look
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: ready to go.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: He just didn't. I don't know what it was, but
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is my crash.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think some people are going to
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: look at the completion percentage and be like, nah, it
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't that bad. 23 of 28. Didn't have any touchdowns.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Took four sacks. I would venture to guess that all
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of them were on him and not the offensive line.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Their O-line wasn't as good as I think it can
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: be with the talent they have. They should have a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: top five. offensive line. I don't think they played like that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: We got to give some credit to the Bengals defensive
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: line that was able to get through, but every, it
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: seemed like every time Baker was turning the ball over,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it was because he was holding the ball too long
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: in the pocket. He had three fumbles lost all three.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: You just can't do that as six point game where
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you're right. Like the Bengals should have blown the bucks out.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: They didn't. Um, I, I definitely come away from this
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: questioning what the bucks can be offensively. They can't run
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the football. And Baker Mayfield, if he's just going to be, uh,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yolo try and save the day, holding the ball till
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: every last second, it's just not going to work. And
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: he's going to get himself hurt. He had a couple of,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of those sacks where he was slammed to
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the floor, like a pro wrestler.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Can we talk about something sneaky that the bangles did?
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Did you see them put in Joe Flacco for that
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: play to try and change?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I was very confused that they were just trying to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: draw the bucks off sides and confuse them.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I think that there was one of two things.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: They are either trying to change the cadence to draw
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: them off or if they were going to QB sneak,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I think that their thought process is do it with
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Flacco instead of Joe Burrow to keep him healthy.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I'm serious.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: It's one of those two things. It's literally one of
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: those two things.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: And it very well could be both. Let's try and
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: draw them off sides and if we like the formation
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: that they're in, then Joe can sneak it and they
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: call the timeout and they put Burrow back in, but Yeah,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that's a good call out by you. I'd never, I
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: don't think I've ever seen that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen it. I thought that
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: that was so smart. And listen, I don't think that
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: the Bengals have the smartest coaching staff in the league.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I've been rather vocal about that through the preseason. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: think that Zach Taylor probably has the shortest leash in
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the league, but that was smart. I got to say,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: just even the thought of trying to change a cadence
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: in that moment, I don't hate it at all.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I actually really, I think that that's brilliant.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: The QB sneak has never been more prevalent than it
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: is right now. The idea of having for the other
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: example of what this could have been having a quarterback
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: that's just there to mash into the offensive line. That's
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: not a bad idea either. No, I'm into this on
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: both fronts.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I like it. I thought it was really smart.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. My crash is I'm going to go back to Thursday, Friday,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: whatever day it was in Australia, but How can you
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: not be rethinking your Rams positions right now? If you
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: bought in on this team, not only do they get
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: molly whopped by the 49ers, they lost miles Garrett for
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: a month. I've downgraded them severely in my power ratings.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: They're now a top heavy bunch that simply isn't deep
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: enough to sustain their stars, either a not being good
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: or be being hurt. And I'm a little concerned about
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the Rams. This is another, I only have four bets, uh,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: for the next week. I know it sounds like I've
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: already made a million, but, uh, the giants plus seven
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: and a half on Monday night football Rams coming back
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: from Australia without miles Garrett. I think this is a
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: major concern. It'll be Aaron Donald's first game with the Rams. And,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: you know, he's looking around like, uh, this isn't exactly
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: what I thought I was getting into.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I am not going to take a victory lap after
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: week one because I could still really get got here,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: but I'm feeling pretty good about my future after watching them.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I think the most interesting storyline here, and I hate
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: to keep harping on the travel, but it's really going
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: to be was the Rams punting this game with their
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: travel schedule worth it into the 49ers really have any
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: sort of hangover. I think that that truly is going
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: to be the story of the week here between these
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: two teams. I know that miles Garrett is a huge loss.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Aaron Donald potentially coming back also a huge storyline, but
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: from as like a whole team perspective, this fascinates me
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: far more.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They were talking about that a lot on football
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: night in America last night. Can you really punt on
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: a divisional game where it kind of counts as a
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: game and a half when you consider who you're going
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: up against and how good that division is. And now
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: the Rams are, are sitting behind the Cardinals in the standings,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: which is hilarious. Awesome.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Go red birds. All right. Who is your clutch of
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the weekend?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: My clutch of the weekend. I feel like it's got,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I was going to go with Jalen Hurts. We already
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: talked about him. It's going to be Caleb Williams for me.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: We haven't talked about this came a ton.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I thought that the.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Bears offense looked absolutely surgical. Talk about a kid who
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I think just needed a little bit of time to
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: develop a 59 points from that offense is awesome. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: get that they ran the ball a lot, but I
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: really enjoyed watching the Bears.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I thought that he was fantastic.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Caleb was great. I think that if there's a futures
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: bet to add to the portfolio, it might be Caleb
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: for MVP.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: No, their schedule is way too tough. There's no way
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: he can continue this. I love Caleb. I think that
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: he's fantastic. I believe in him, but their schedule this
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: season can't do it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: So, um, the, and that would hold him back. And
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the fact that this team is as good as they
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: are running the football that might end up taking away
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: from some of the credit that he gets. Kendra's probably right.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams. Those are the short
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: shots right now for MVP. You're probably better off. If
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: you like the idea of betting Caleb, wait until he
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: has a bad game.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Don't all three of those are stinky.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I'm in Lamar. Oh my goodness.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: He can't stay healthy. He's going to shit himself in December.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Lamar on turf. I don't know why I talked to
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: you out of that. I really don't. That is one
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: of the big regrets of the weekend.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I knew it. I have been talking shit about the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Colts all preseason.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: They're going to be the worst team in this division.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I know the Titans look like ass, but I think.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: The Colts are double ass. Just in better wrapping.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: They, they at least have some redeeming quality to them.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Like they can always hand the ball off to Jonathan Taylor.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the Titans do. Well, I don't know.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I know they have a ball. I like their, I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: like Robert Sala. He was dealt a bad hand here.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: That is a bad roster. The bears ran for 292
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: yards and six touchdowns in that game. That was, it
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: was good as Caleb Williams was. They're running is elite
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: with the guys. They have offensive line. I thought they
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: were going to take a step back without Drew Dolman.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: That doesn't seem like that's the case. My clutch is
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: another team inside of the same division. The Minnesota Vikings,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz, three touchdowns.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: This game pissed me off so bad.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: What about this game?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: It just was annoying to watch.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: The freaking penalties were annoying, Kravitz.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I think the Vikings got a couple of breaks, but
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: they dominated that fourth quarter 22-0 in the final frame
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: of this game. Wentz looked bad at the beginning, but
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: he really settled in. And the most important thing he
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: did is he got Justin Jefferson involved, who looked like
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: he was about to request a trade. In the middle
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: of that game.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I'm still on it. I'm still on it. I'm sorry.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: That was my hot take of the year was that
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: he was going to request a trade, and people lost
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: it on Instagram about that, by the way. But now
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's hurt. He looked like crap before he got hurt.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: You're not going to be able.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: To ride that hand for the rest of the season.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz isn't a number one. J.J.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: McCarthy sucks. I love you, Max Brosmer, but no. What
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: are we doing here?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what the Vikings do.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they do.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Kravitz, promise me that you're not going to fall in
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: love with the fucking Minnesota Vikings right now.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: No, that's not going to be... This isn't a flag plant.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not there.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Do not fall in love with the Minnesota Vikings. This
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: is a.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Short-term, one-night stand. This is not something you can grow.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: The seeds are there, but they are not going to
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: be watered. Do not fall in love with, honestly, frankly,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: either of these teams.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: So from a football perspective, what I found fascinating about
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: this game is that Brian Flores is so dug in
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: to throwing extra pressure at quarterbacks that it wasn't working.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: For almost three full quarters. And he said, fuck it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep doing it anyway. The Packers had eight.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: They had completions of 81, 43, 42, and 30. That
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: just means you don't have enough defenders on the back end.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: You're throwing extra bodies at Jordan Love, and it wasn't working.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: And he was so dug in to this is going
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: to work. Which is crazy.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Make him be you.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: That's the crazy. That's the crazy part is that it
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: wasn't working. And then it did. And it worked all
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: at once. Jordan love was pressured on 78% of his
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: dropbacks and, and the damn broke Vikings 22 to zero
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. It was the most, it was
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the most stubborn defensive game plan that had no business
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: working and it worked. And that's why it's like, yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I respect him as a DC, as a leader, as
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: with between his over-aggressiveness and Carson Wentz and they can't
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: really run. I can't buy into the Minnesota Vikings. And
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I think maybe that's the overreaction of the weekend that
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: other people will trip into and not us is that
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Minnesota is something that they're not.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I think that the Packers were better than they showed yesterday,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: but they definitely have some lessons to learn.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I think what helps them is the coaching.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: So this is one that we have on our sheet
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: today that I don't know who to nominate for this.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: So I'm just going to defer to you. Who would
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: you nominate as the Diva of the Weekend? He's just
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: a diva.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: An impossible diva.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: What would make you say something like that?
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: It's pretty obvious.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Diva alert! Diva of the Weekend. Madison Beer. She looked
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: so good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: But.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Diva of the Weekend.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: She had the internet in a frenzy, that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Is for sure. She really had the boys going a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: little crazy. Diva of the Weekend. That's a really good question.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Diva of the Weekend. Can you give me yours?
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I don't have one, so I was really.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I need, now that I know we're going to do this,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I need to think about it. I, you.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Know, you know, I think it's one of those things
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: that you don't force it. If it's not there, I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: can't really, I need to see what, what I haven't
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: watched yet as I'm doing all of the, the recap
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: is I need post game pressers. Cause that's, that's when
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I can really make that decision.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: I have one Tom Brady dropping a butterfly reference during
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: the broadcast diva of the week right there. I did not. I,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: whatever he said about butterflies having soft legs or something.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: That was crazy, but that was a diva call.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: All right. All right. Um, A little insect terminology.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Did you hear him say that?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. He said something. You'll have to look
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: into it. There was like a play where he, someone.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Threw a pass to like the corner end zone and
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: it just like fell in their bread basket. I don't
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: know who he was throwing to, but he just goes,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: that was like a butterfly having like soft legs or something.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Butterfly with tired legs is what production saying. It was
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: so weird.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: I only saw it on red zone and I just
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: kind of was like, what did he just say?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: And so that's my diva of the weekend. Butterfly reference.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that we didn't hear that because the butterfly
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: is sort of a soft subject in the Kravitz household.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of chrysalises outside that my wife
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: was monitoring and they've disappeared. And so glad that we didn't,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: because that would have been, that could have, could have
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: wrecked the four o'clock window. And we heard about the butterflies. RIP.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: RIP to butterfly nation in my backyard. All right, let's
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: bring in the Oracle, Evan Abrams. Evan, what did you learn?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: this weekend that you will be taking with you as
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: we venture into the future?
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Uh, I, I tend to week by week, just first
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: of all, what's up guys. But also I tend to
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: look week by week by just a few stats, uh,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: a few stats that keep me grounded to see like
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: what mattered. Uh, and these are really simple, but I
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: feel like they're kind of interesting. So the teams that
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: had more third downs when 10 and four straight up 10,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: three and one against the spread, uh, pretty normal stuff, uh,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: teams who led at the half 13 and two straight
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: up 11, three and one against the spread. And then
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: this one, going into Monday Night Football, teams who won
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: the turnover battle, 12-0 straight up, 10-1-1 against the spread.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: So things of that nature I feel like continue to
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: always be important when looking at these things and trying
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: to predict week to week, which is always a difficult task.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: But they are decent predictors, and everyone has a different
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: conversation about this.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: But I feel like it's interesting nonetheless. And then the
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: other one.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. Go craft. No, I was going to ask
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: just to clarify the third down stat. That's not, that's
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: not the amount of third downs. That's the amount of
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: conversions that you have. It's like, yeah, yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Actual third downs made is all I care about in that.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Versus like the actual percentage, but these are just like
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: simple things I look at. And then one other thing
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: I'll give you is just the overreaction and like Brandon
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: and Brandon Anderson and so many other people here. We'll
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: talk about this as we get into week two, but
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: just a simple one teams to lose by more than
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: one possession, nine points or more. week one who are
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: underdogs in week two, 62% against the spread last 20 years,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: 12 straight seasons, 500 ATS or better. So pretty consistent
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: year to year. You're going to get 500 or better
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: in this. And of course, these are the worst of
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: the worst. So this would be betting Miami, betting the Colts,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: betting the Titans and betting the Browns. So good luck
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: to everybody. But year to year, this is something that
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: shows up in week two.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Who are your winners, losers?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: And is there anybody that you fell in love with
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: this weekend or that you're looking at for next week already?
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Winners and losers.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Well, I put in the chat in terms of the
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: divas stuff.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: I hated this.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Stefan digs basically cost Washington the game based on that
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: situation with the touchdown, you know, typical his situation, but
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: also the CD lamb stuff last night, like he was
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: taunting and taunting. And then they basically almost lose by
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: two scores. Things like that ground my gears. If you're
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: talking about actual overreaction, it's almost impossible what the heck
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: we do as Chicago. I mean, normally you would say
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: a team like that who scores that many points comes
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: back down to earth. Very difficult to predict. But I
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: will say this. Minnesota next week. And you get Flores
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: and the Blitz. It should be a different situation versus Carolina.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: We thought Carolina's defense was going to be a little
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: bit more feisty than this. But man, I'm telling you,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Minnesota should be different.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd, I got to be honest. He did not
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: look good yesterday.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: It was one week. Shout out Ventrell Miller.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: I think he was the highest PFF grade for the
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Jaguars yesterday.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to let them cook. I'm going to let
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: them cook.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: But if you want to look at overreaction, think about this.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: So you've got Chicago now facing that Flores and Minnesota defense,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: and Carolina is now going to get Atlanta. So if
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Atlanta still doesn't have a quarterback, Carolina's defense is probably
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: going to look much better in week two.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: That is going to be an interesting thing to look for.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Evan is what defenses that we thought were going to
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: be good, actually show up. Dallas would be another one
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: we thought was going to not be elite, but be
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: a lot better than they were last year. And they
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: just let the giants do whatever they wanted last night,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: but to expect, you know, this is one of the biggest.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: incorrect reads that I made was that with the lack
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: of teams playing their guys in the preseason, that it
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: was going to impact offenses. And it turns out that
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: it was the other way around. Defenses seem to be impact.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: by that. So is that something that you think we
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: should look for moving forward? Is the teams that we
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: think have defensive talent to whip back into shape in weeks, two, three, four.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: That's something that we should keep our eye on.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Don't take it from me. I mean, I heard Mike
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Tomlin talk about this on NBC last night, the way
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: they're doing things in the preseason. And the way they're
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: preparing seems to just be helping offenses earlier on. So
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: I think that's just something to look at, especially when
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: totals were like 43 and 22 week.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: One prior to this.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: We saw that a little bit out of the gate,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: but yesterday offenses, as we've heard everywhere.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Through the roof, one more I'll give you.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: So Houston, obviously in an absolute battle with Buffalo, letting
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: all those points up defense doesn't look fantastic. Other than
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: under D'Amico, when they allow 30 plus next week, they're eight,
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: no straight up six and two against the number. Obviously,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: you've got Cincinnati here, which is a completely different animal,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: but usually they show up the next week. But this
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: is a completely different offense with Burrow and such. So
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: be fascinating to see how that defense looks a week after.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: That is an interesting one. Texans minus three in that game.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: The Texans most points surrendered since week three of 2024.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: That was one of the key stats that I wrote
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: down this weekend. Also, Evan, last thing for you. First
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: time head coaches making their debut. I wanted to track this.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Four and two against the spread. So those guys performed
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: quite well.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Can we put that in the AI model for next year?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: That seems like more of an outlier, though. I don't
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: know if that's something that you already have.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: You just didn't use Raiders Dolphins out the window, right?
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: No. Well, actually, I did. I guess I probably didn't
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: need to. So three and one, then, in that case.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Good call. Double counted, double counted the Raiders and the, uh,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: and the dolphins. Thanks so much, Evan. Be on the
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: lookout for his, uh, you, by the way, the new primer,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: very slick and the, uh, it looks very different, but
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: what's been the feedback on that as you, as you
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: guys change the format.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, really good.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: And people like all the different things with the weather
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: and the public and this and that. So easy to
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: access the information and honestly, all the weeks are there.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: So I'm working on week two, no different, just reload.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: See what I put in there.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Cool.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: So very, very easy to toggle even for a boomer
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: sub boomer like myself. All right. For our Monday night football,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: same game parlay presented by draft Kings. The crown is yours.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: So we'll put a three-legged together here, Kendra. The first
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: is obvious because we got a hit on this in
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: order for the first weekend to be a success for us.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Broncos plus two and a half. We're consensus on that.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: So what else do you want to add to our
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: three leg same game parlay on Monday night? Broncos chiefs.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: I think we should check in with draft Kings before
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: we get to our parlay. If you listen to this show,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: you know football season is officially back. And to celebrate,

  Speaker 2: I was too excited for the same game parlay on
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Monday night. Let's get to it. Presented by DraftKings Broncos
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: plus two and a half consensus pick for us. What
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: else would you like to bring to the table on
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Monday night?
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: I would love to nominate a Jalen Waddle anytime.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: This offense could have used him last year.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: I think that that would have really put them over
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: the edge, probably would have put them into the Super Bowl.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: I get the quarterback went down, whatever. I am still
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: in the camp that there wasn't that big of a
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: drop off. But I had A.J. Brown not gotten hurt
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: the other night. It would have been the same theory
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: for me right now. You got to feed your new guy,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: got to make him confident, got to get him settled
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: in the offense. Plus 180 for a Jalen Waddle anytime.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I think we're going to get a little penguin tonight.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Okay. I like it. I got a touchdown in there
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: as well. I'm going Kenneth Walker. Anytime TD. I think
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: if this weekend taught us anything, Kendra, it's to take
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the chalky running backs to score a touchdown in some variety.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: You know, there was some public Joe out there. Who's like,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't usually bet the NFL. Let's go.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry, Jameer Gibbs, Bijan Robinson.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: To score a touchdown parlay.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I saw, I saw some really chalky parlays.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Someone put down a dollar and won like 2,800 bucks
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: on draft Kings from some really, really, really chalky stuff.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Yep. Meanwhile, I am losing on a sharp five month
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: betting spree. So here we are, but I'm not losing tonight.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker minus one 25, uh, getting him into the
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: end zone should give us at least One green check
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: on our board and defense in week one, but a rumor. Anyway,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: what I love about this, these three picks put together
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: on draft Kings, Kenneth Walker, touchdown, Jalen Waddle, touchdown Broncos
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: cover two and a half, 10 to one.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I like draft Kings. I like, I really like that.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Why should you place bets at draft Kings? Because all
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: draft Kings customers are getting a profit boost every game
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: day in the month of September. And that is why
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: the crown wins. The favorites will return on Thursday as
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: we deep dive into week two of the NFL and
