Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, presented by Draft Kings. The Crown
- 0:13Speaker 1: is yours. Happy Thursday, Week twelve has arrived. I'm Brandon Kravitz,
- 0:18Speaker 1: joined by your two faves and my two faves, the
- 0:21Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Degenerate Nation, Stucky and the Queen of
- 0:25Speaker 1: the Pod.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Miss Kendra Middleton.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Will hear from them momentarily on today's episode, will submit
- 0:31Speaker 1: our official plays of the week. We've got our stat
- 0:33Speaker 1: of the day, two Kings and a Queen parlay Kendra's
- 0:37Speaker 1: prop action or distraction, the football talk that he came for,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and hopefully we deliver some wins along the way. Let's
- 0:43Speaker 1: kick things off with Evan Abrams shrimply unbelievable stat of
- 0:48Speaker 1: the week, straight from the primer. JJ McCarthy has been awful,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and it's difficult for me to quantify just how bad
- 0:56Speaker 1: he's been, but Evan does a really nice job here.
- 0:59Speaker 1: J McCarthy seven of twenty three passing. That's thirty percent
- 1:03Speaker 1: on third and fourth downs with five yards to go
- 1:06Speaker 1: or less. Thirty quarterbacks have twenty plus pass attempts in
- 1:10Speaker 1: that spot this year. The closest to McCarthy on the
- 1:14Speaker 1: off on this scale is Jaden Daniels, who we haven't
- 1:17Speaker 1: seen too much of this year at forty three percent,
- 1:19Speaker 1: So we're talking about thirteen percentage points worse in those
- 1:23Speaker 1: third and fourth down and short situations. They play the Packers.
- 1:28Speaker 1: The Packers can't cover spreads. They're three and seven ats
- 1:32Speaker 1: this year. I would love to fade the Vikings here,
- 1:35Speaker 1: but I just don't know if I can trust the
- 1:37Speaker 1: pack with our money. Kendre, are you out on JJ
- 1:40Speaker 1: McCarthy already?
- 1:42Speaker 3: I talked about this on our show earlier this week.
- 1:45Speaker 3: I think so.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Once he released this alter ego.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Nine, shit really hit the fan with him, and I
- 1:52Speaker 3: kind of am okay with it. Once you come out
- 1:54Speaker 3: and say something like that about yourself, I think not
- 1:56Speaker 3: only is it fair for people to be like, all right,
- 1:58Speaker 3: but also maybe you should be like, maybe you shouldn't
- 2:01Speaker 3: have done that. And I get that it's like a
- 2:02Speaker 3: marketing thing or whatever. Maybe, but it just doesn't feel
- 2:06Speaker 3: like a good spot to be on either of these
- 2:08Speaker 3: teams because we talk about a week in and week out.
- 2:10Speaker 3: It's identity, right, and neither of these teams really have
- 2:13Speaker 3: an identity right now. I and I think Stucky two
- 2:16Speaker 3: would love for it to be Max Brosmer season.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are brosber Bros. Well, well you stucky,
- 2:22Speaker 1: are you? This is a hard game to buy into
- 2:26Speaker 1: because you want to bet Packers can't bet the Vikings
- 2:29Speaker 1: with this guy at quarterback right now, he just can't
- 2:31Speaker 1: complete the simple throws.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Where do you land on that?
- 2:35Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I'm out on them right now. I'm
- 2:36Speaker 5: still only a sample size of five games. It doesn't
- 2:38Speaker 5: mean that he can't turn it around. I mean there's
- 2:42Speaker 5: been countless examples of quarterbacks who are disaster in the
- 2:44Speaker 5: first year as a starter and turn around. He's right now.
- 2:48Speaker 5: He has major touch issues, like he has no touch
- 2:52Speaker 5: on his short passes, and then he has extreme mechanical
- 2:56Speaker 5: problems in the way that he's throwing the ball. I mean,
- 3:00Speaker 5: like your power has to come from your hips and
- 3:04Speaker 5: you when he throws to the left. There's a ton
- 3:06Speaker 5: of videos out about this when he throws to the left, specifically,
- 3:10Speaker 5: like he's locking out his hip and just trying to
- 3:13Speaker 5: throw it with his arm. Mean, he has a fifty
- 3:16Speaker 5: five percent catchable ball right throwing to his left. No
- 3:20Speaker 5: other quarterback in the NFL is below sixty nine. That's bad,
- 3:26Speaker 5: And like you saw it last week. There was wide
- 3:28Speaker 5: open Jefferson, a wide open Addison that he just completely
- 3:35Speaker 5: missed I think three or four times throwing to the left,
- 3:38Speaker 5: and he just has this like it's a mechanical flaw.
- 3:42Speaker 5: So that can be fixed. Maybe not overnight. They might
- 3:46Speaker 5: be an offseason thing. He generally has like the right reads,
- 3:52Speaker 5: but until I see otherwise, like from a betting perspective,
- 3:56Speaker 5: all I care about is the now, and like last
- 4:00Speaker 5: week was that was the game. You had to see it.
- 4:02Speaker 5: He was indoors against a really bad, beat up defense
- 4:06Speaker 5: after he played some tough defenses, and the fact that
- 4:10Speaker 5: it just wasn't there yet is pretty troubling. So I'm
- 4:13Speaker 5: pretty much out on him this year. It doesn't mean
- 4:15Speaker 5: he can't turn it around. I'm not a quarterback expert,
- 4:19Speaker 5: so I can't say whether or not that'll happen, but
- 4:21Speaker 5: for the time being, I'm out.
- 4:26Speaker 1: I think that we judge him more horsehly than we
- 4:29Speaker 1: judge every quarterback harshly.
- 4:30Speaker 2: But I think we we.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Hold him to a different standard because most quarterbacks don't
- 4:34Speaker 1: start their NFL career with Justin Jefferson.
- 4:37Speaker 4: I was just going to say that we had a really.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Good offensive line and a good play caller.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and n quarterback whisper as a coach.
- 4:47Speaker 5: Yeah, he definitely is in a really good spot and
- 4:51Speaker 5: we've seen O'Connell do more with less, so yeah, but
- 4:56Speaker 5: it doesn't mean that he's cooked for his career.
- 4:59Speaker 3: But it's probably be one of these guys that has
- 5:01Speaker 3: to go to another team in a couple of years
- 5:03Speaker 3: and that's when we'll see his resurgence, like the trend
- 5:06Speaker 3: that's been going on through the last couple of seasons.
- 5:08Speaker 4: On the note of.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Jordan Addison, though, I get that he hasn't had the
- 5:12Speaker 3: quarterback to throw to him that we thought maybe he would,
- 5:15Speaker 3: but I've also been kind of disappointed in how little
- 5:17Speaker 3: they do target him in the offense.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I wonder if it's just because his JJ's deep ball
- 5:24Speaker 1: is not there's nothing good and that's kind of where Jordan.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Addison, yeah, that's his Yeah. Yeah, we love this idea
- 5:33Speaker 2: from production.
- 5:33Speaker 1: The Vikings should release JJ McCarthy and then and then
- 5:37Speaker 1: re sign him, so Kevin O'Connell can reh have a
- 5:40Speaker 1: first round quarterback.
- 5:42Speaker 2: That's good.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I like that psychological game played with with JJ McCarthy.
- 5:46Speaker 1: So we have our plays that we're going to submit
- 5:48Speaker 1: at the end of the episode. Right now, we are
- 5:50Speaker 1: crossing that one. I think off the list of the
- 5:52Speaker 1: Packers favored by six and a half back to football
- 5:56Speaker 1: in a moment. Time to delve into the weird, the bizarre,
- 5:58Speaker 1: the random. Let's get it over to stuff for a
- 6:00Speaker 1: random question of the week.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Hey, this is a dumb question.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Let me ask you a personal question kind of question?
- 6:08Speaker 2: Is that is question?
- 6:11Speaker 5: All right? If sports disappeared tomorrow, all sports sports were
- 6:17Speaker 5: no longer a thing, all right? The Aliens came down
- 6:22Speaker 5: landed on Earth, took over everything, and banned sports, but
- 6:26Speaker 5: everything else is the same. What would what would you
- 6:33Speaker 5: be doing in a month? What do you think you'd
- 6:36Speaker 5: be doing in a month for work and versus what
- 6:40Speaker 5: you would want to be doing. So like your ideal
- 6:44Speaker 5: job realistic and obviously can't be like just probably be
- 6:47Speaker 5: the biggest movie star in the world or the quarterback
- 6:49Speaker 5: for the Vikings. So what would you what do you
- 6:52Speaker 5: think you'd end up doing and versus what you would
- 6:56Speaker 5: ideally want to do. I mean, I'll start, I probably
- 7:00Speaker 5: end up going back into finance in some form or fashion.
- 7:04Speaker 5: I used to. That's where I came from. Still have
- 7:07Speaker 5: a lot of you know, I still have my degree
- 7:10Speaker 5: CFA blah blah blah. So that would be the easy
- 7:13Speaker 5: jump down the line when I retire. Like the path
- 7:17Speaker 5: that I was on, I wanted to eventually become a professor,
- 7:21Speaker 5: but that's like way down the line. What I'd really
- 7:24Speaker 5: want to be doing now was open like my wife's
- 7:26Speaker 5: a phenomenal cook and bartender runs. Run a run like
- 7:30Speaker 5: a bar restaurant on in on an island somewhere. But
- 7:36Speaker 5: how about you brand them?
- 7:37Speaker 1: I think I'd become like an alien assistant at that point,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you know, I think if they're coming down and taking over,
- 7:43Speaker 1: I'd probably work for one of them.
- 7:45Speaker 2: You got to kind of get in where you fit
- 7:47Speaker 2: in a little bit.
- 7:48Speaker 1: But I I can go in a couple of different
- 7:51Speaker 1: directions here because I graduated with a psychology degree. So
- 7:56Speaker 1: what I there's what I should do, there's what I
- 7:58Speaker 1: would do, and then there's what I would love to do.
- 8:00Speaker 1: So what I should do is, I don't know, become
- 8:03Speaker 1: a social worker, a therapist, like one of those things
- 8:06Speaker 1: where I can use that degree that right now, Like
- 8:09Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there's some psychology in sports betting,
- 8:12Speaker 1: not really using it, so that.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Went to waste.
- 8:15Speaker 1: And what I would be doing is bartending, because that's
- 8:18Speaker 1: where outside of this industry, I've made the most money
- 8:21Speaker 1: in my life and I'm a pretty decent bartender and
- 8:24Speaker 1: it'll pass lifetime. But what I would love to be doing,
- 8:27Speaker 1: and I don't know if this would still exist based
- 8:29Speaker 1: on your rules of engagement here, but I always had
- 8:33Speaker 1: a dream of being a professional wrestler, and I don't
- 8:36Speaker 1: know if that counts as a sport. You know, you
- 8:43Speaker 1: would think i'd put more thought into that. I might
- 8:45Speaker 1: have to be a next week answer, but I would
- 8:48Speaker 1: definitely definitely consider that if that still counts. Those are
- 8:52Speaker 1: my three answers. I couldn't decide on one webout you, Kendra.
- 8:55Speaker 3: I think the obvious answer would be just to go
- 8:58Speaker 3: back into news, But what I would never do that.
- 9:02Speaker 4: But what I would do, I have two answers. One
- 9:05Speaker 4: I would enroll in culinary.
- 9:07Speaker 3: School immediately and like try and focus on like healthy food,
- 9:10Speaker 3: paleo food, like the Whole Vibe, or my friends and
- 9:14Speaker 3: I have joked about opening a nursing home for just
- 9:18Speaker 3: women and where you could buy like reserve like a
- 9:20Speaker 3: wing for you and your girlfriends because like, obviously the
- 9:22Speaker 3: birth rate has declined so much and women are staying
- 9:24Speaker 3: single and not getting married and having kids and like
- 9:26Speaker 3: all that stuff. So I think that I would open
- 9:29Speaker 3: like a nursing home for the girls.
- 9:33Speaker 2: That might still happen. Stucky.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me at all that Kendrick had a
- 9:36Speaker 1: fully loaded answer ready to go, Like it sounds like
- 9:39Speaker 1: she's already got a business plan for her answer.
- 9:42Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't mind, Matt that that that's gonna
- 9:45Speaker 5: be good business in the future. Nursing.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Yeah, like nursing home for the gals where everybody can
- 9:49Speaker 3: just like get hammered and hang out and like talk
- 9:52Speaker 3: shit like that is.
- 9:52Speaker 4: That's the vibe.
- 9:54Speaker 5: By the way, that this name a name generator for
- 9:58Speaker 5: pro wrestlers. You it said I in your name, but
- 10:01Speaker 5: it spit out Brian Royale with Cheese Miller. I don't know.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I don't know why I think I can make I
- 10:08Speaker 2: think I can make that work. Maybe called me the
- 10:10Speaker 2: big cheese we scatter.
- 10:12Speaker 4: Bow, well fucking wwe.
- 10:15Speaker 3: The other night we talk about that the tweets were crazy.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Someone was like talking about how a week ago he
- 10:21Speaker 3: had his ankle up his ass and now he's fighting
- 10:23Speaker 3: at WWE with the squad.
- 10:25Speaker 1: I was actually where I have him in a dynasty league.
- 10:28Speaker 1: I was a little worried about him being out there.
- 10:29Speaker 4: For that, but oh man, that was good. His live
- 10:32Speaker 4: streams are also crazy.
- 10:33Speaker 3: He did a showy of like an energy drink the
- 10:35Speaker 3: other night said he picked the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
- 10:38Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, whatever.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Evan, what would you do? The Aliens eliminated their sports?
- 10:45Speaker 1: By the way, fuck the Aliens for this.
- 10:47Speaker 4: Those really crow alien.
- 10:50Speaker 3: I think that genuinely we are an alien child Sims
- 10:53Speaker 3: video game and they just don't mess with us. Because
- 10:57Speaker 3: when you walk by an ant pile, you don't just
- 10:59Speaker 3: kick it to kick it, like unless it gets out
- 11:01Speaker 3: of control, you don't do anything. You just let it
- 11:04Speaker 3: vibe and then when it gets out of control, you
- 11:05Speaker 3: just extinguish it. I think that we are an alien's
- 11:08Speaker 3: ant pile.
- 11:10Speaker 2: That's an off season episode. Evan, what h what would
- 11:13Speaker 2: you do?
- 11:14Speaker 3: Uh?
- 11:15Speaker 6: Stocks, Weather and animals? Stocks, because like all I want those,
- 11:21Speaker 6: those would be the three avenues that'd probably take stocks
- 11:24Speaker 6: because I do it anyway. I already understand the game
- 11:27Speaker 6: weather because you don't have to be right all the
- 11:29Speaker 6: time and it's a great job, and I love animals.
- 11:32Speaker 4: So what would you do with animals?
- 11:36Speaker 3: Oh?
- 11:36Speaker 6: I mean I I mean listen, I know so many
- 11:39Speaker 6: people that have tried to be vets. Being a vet
- 11:41Speaker 6: is so difficult, the things you have to learn, like
- 11:44Speaker 6: the education in this. I'm just great with animals and
- 11:47Speaker 6: I love animals. So if you're pushing me down an avenue,
- 11:49Speaker 6: I'd probably end up going.
- 11:50Speaker 4: That avenue any like a pet sitter or.
- 11:52Speaker 6: Yeah, something I don't know, Like I try to get
- 11:55Speaker 6: education in it. There's a million different ways to get
- 11:58Speaker 6: into like trying to do it and making it a career.
- 12:01Speaker 6: But it's just if it's something you love and you
- 12:03Speaker 6: love like being with animals. I love going to zoos
- 12:05Speaker 6: in other countries, stuff like that. Like it would probably
- 12:07Speaker 6: be a direction I would had.
- 12:09Speaker 4: You could be a cat breeder.
- 12:10Speaker 1: There you go, Buck, you really got us going on
- 12:14Speaker 1: this one time to get into action or distraction.
- 12:18Speaker 5: This is distracted distract.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I'm not stacking.
- 12:21Speaker 5: I want it on the action.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Chador Sanders drawing the start for the Cleveland Browns Action
- 12:29Speaker 1: or distraction and auto fade on Shador Sanders. Whether that's
- 12:34Speaker 1: betting the raiders, whether that's betting his passing prop under
- 12:37Speaker 1: one fifty nine and a half.
- 12:38Speaker 2: In case you were.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Curious, stucky action or distraction, autophage, chador action.
- 12:44Speaker 5: I mean I'm fading should or I don't think he's ready.
- 12:49Speaker 5: Everything I've heard, he's not ready. Everything I saw last week,
- 12:51Speaker 5: he's not ready. I mean, you go back to the
- 12:57Speaker 5: preseason game against the like fourth string guys. They didn't
- 13:02Speaker 5: bring anybody to that game in Cleveland, and he took
- 13:07Speaker 5: four or five sacks in a quarter. I mean, you
- 13:09Speaker 5: go back those last two games, his last two appearances,
- 13:11Speaker 5: he has thirty one dropbacks for negative seven yards. Thirty
- 13:17Speaker 5: one dropbacks for negative seven yards. He can't have all
- 13:19Speaker 5: the blitz, can't read a defense. He's not even that
- 13:22Speaker 5: fast to get away. I know the Raiders defense isn't great,
- 13:25Speaker 5: but they take away explosive places. They're gonna make the
- 13:27Speaker 5: Browns drive the field, and they're they're just gonna send
- 13:29Speaker 5: the blitz. They're not dumb, and I don't think she
- 13:31Speaker 5: door can handle it. So like the Raiders have been awful.
- 13:33Speaker 5: Their offensive line is awful, they have no running games.
- 13:35Speaker 5: Gino has been bad. I get it all, but I
- 13:38Speaker 5: have one quarterback who's like a serviceable NFL quarterback at
- 13:42Speaker 5: home and one who's not ready. So I'm going to
- 13:45Speaker 5: side with the one who has started games and is
- 13:49Speaker 5: an NFL starting caliber quarterback. And the Browns defense is
- 13:54Speaker 5: just not the same on the road. I don't know
- 13:56Speaker 5: how many times I gotta say it. I say it
- 13:57Speaker 5: every week. I bet the Browns last week. I bet
- 13:58Speaker 5: the Browns at home almost every time. I think they're
- 14:01Speaker 5: always undervided at home overvalued on the road. Now a
- 14:05Speaker 5: lot of that comes down to their defense. Over the
- 14:07Speaker 5: past three seasons. The most profitable team in the NFL
- 14:10Speaker 5: at home, it ain't the Lions and the degenerate Dan Campbell,
- 14:14Speaker 5: It's the Browns. There's sixty three percent against the spread
- 14:17Speaker 5: at home. The least profitable team on the road, it's
- 14:20Speaker 5: the Browns. They're five and seventeen against the spread on
- 14:24Speaker 5: the road twenty two point seven percent. They're failing to
- 14:27Speaker 5: cover by about a touchdown per game, so they don't
- 14:29Speaker 5: even close. Why is that, Well, their offense always stinks
- 14:33Speaker 5: and their defense isn't dominant as dominant as it is
- 14:36Speaker 5: at home. It's a different animal at home. So I
- 14:39Speaker 5: like the Raiders.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Yeah, twist my arm on that one, Kendrew, would you
- 14:42Speaker 1: rather attack this via the Raiders side, because I kind
- 14:47Speaker 1: of get the sense that you're we're in a show
- 14:50Speaker 1: agreement here or the prop angle of just going after
- 14:54Speaker 1: Shador and maybe taking some wonders.
- 14:57Speaker 3: No, I'm all over the Raiders here as a whole
- 14:59Speaker 3: stucky a lot of what I was gonna say. But
- 15:01Speaker 3: also they've been a little inconsistent with their scoring and
- 15:04Speaker 3: who they've beat. There's really no pattern to if they
- 15:07Speaker 3: beat good teams, bad teams, whatever. I think that it's
- 15:09Speaker 3: more so that they're due for a win. Brown's on
- 15:11Speaker 3: the road. I think Shador is a bad quarterback. I
- 15:15Speaker 3: think his confidence has probably heard. I think Max Crosby
- 15:17Speaker 3: is going to have a career game this weekend. I'm
- 15:20Speaker 3: just all over the Raiders, and it's a spot for
- 15:23Speaker 3: them where they are due for a win. The Browns
- 15:25Speaker 3: have had their fun, They've beat the teams that people
- 15:27Speaker 3: didn't think that they would. I think that this says
- 15:29Speaker 3: Raiders all over it. So I'm gonna rock with the
- 15:31Speaker 3: Raiders this weekend. You can like, here's the thing. The
- 15:35Speaker 3: reason that I'm not on the Chador prop market is
- 15:37Speaker 3: because the Browns could still lose and he could have
- 15:42Speaker 3: a good showing.
- 15:43Speaker 4: It'd be great for the NFL.
- 15:44Speaker 3: It'd be great for Josina Anderson, it would be great
- 15:46Speaker 3: for the storylines, it'd be great for the.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Money of you know, the Sanders comeback. He's gonna be.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Okay, blah blah blah, that he can play a good
- 15:53Speaker 3: game and they can still lose because of the defense.
- 15:57Speaker 3: So I don't think he's gonna play a good game.
- 16:00Speaker 3: But that's the only thing holding me back is that
- 16:01Speaker 3: I do have my tinfoil hot on a little bit,
- 16:03Speaker 3: but I'm all over the Raiders here.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Evan.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I want to bring you in for this because the
- 16:07Speaker 1: betting percentages on the Action Network app are surprising to
- 16:14Speaker 1: me that I would think with the consensus that we
- 16:17Speaker 1: have on this Raiders Browns game, and we might need
- 16:20Speaker 1: to fit this into the parlay. By the way, this
- 16:24Speaker 1: feels like a pretty obvious opinion to fade a guy
- 16:27Speaker 1: that might not be ready for an NFL game. Eighty
- 16:31Speaker 1: two percent of the bets are on the Cleveland Browns.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Does that surprise you haven't?
- 16:35Speaker 6: But I was just going to say, like, he's the
- 16:37Speaker 6: most popular and polarizing person probably in the league, right
- 16:42Speaker 6: now like I think people who are gambling on him
- 16:45Speaker 6: are gambling on just like I want to bet on Shador.
- 16:47Speaker 5: Is it the right bet?
- 16:48Speaker 2: No?
- 16:48Speaker 6: I think I think we all kind of like the
- 16:51Speaker 6: Raiders in this spot. Truthfully, the angle I take in
- 16:53Speaker 6: this game is I look for like sacks between him
- 16:56Speaker 6: and Gino and the defensive lines on both sides. I
- 17:00Speaker 6: just assume that's why the total is gonna end up
- 17:02Speaker 6: closing at like thirty five.
- 17:03Speaker 5: Thirty five indoors. Yeah, there could be like twelve thirteen
- 17:06Speaker 5: sacks and again the Browns two. The reason I can't
- 17:10Speaker 5: play the under is just because I'm afraid of Like
- 17:12Speaker 5: I had the Browns plus eight and a half last week.
- 17:16Speaker 5: They were first half what about first half? Understuck maybe,
- 17:19Speaker 5: but I don't when do the short fields come, They're
- 17:21Speaker 5: gonna be pick sixes like I had for one quarter only.
- 17:25Speaker 5: I had the Browns plus eight and a half. They
- 17:27Speaker 5: were up six at home with a dominant defense, and
- 17:30Speaker 5: I was holding on for dear Low. I was like,
- 17:33Speaker 5: I'm gonna lose his bet and ended up losing by seven.
- 17:36Speaker 5: Because I should always gonna throw pick sixes. He's gonna
- 17:38Speaker 5: ge already's gonna get sacked for lost of sacked by
- 17:40Speaker 5: at the two yard line, a loss of twenty. Kyle
- 17:43Speaker 5: Hamilton did drop a pick six on just to basically
- 17:45Speaker 5: rolled out and tried to throw and it Kyle Hamilton
- 17:47Speaker 5: dropped it. He threw another awful pick. He fumbled once
- 17:51Speaker 5: on a sack, but the Browns recovered it like it
- 17:53Speaker 5: was as bad as I've ever seen it, and I
- 17:57Speaker 5: was just like, plea, it was the longest fourteen of
- 18:01Speaker 5: my life.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I was.
- 18:01Speaker 5: I just wanted the Browns to punt it on first down.
- 18:04Speaker 5: That's how bad it was. So like getting over thirty six,
- 18:08Speaker 5: it's not difficult if you throw, if there's a couple
- 18:10Speaker 5: of defensive touchdowns. But yeah, it's hard to see either
- 18:13Speaker 5: one of these offenses doing much. But it's crazy to
- 18:17Speaker 5: see a total. Is this the lowest total? Actually, there
- 18:20Speaker 5: was probably a total with it. I'm like, what's the
- 18:22Speaker 5: lowest total ever in an indoor game? We have to
- 18:25Speaker 5: do it?
- 18:26Speaker 6: Yeah, really, just you read my mind. Thirty six was
- 18:31Speaker 6: done in twenty three and twenty two Raiders Jets. Raiders
- 18:36Speaker 6: Jets in twenty twenty three was sixteen to twelve with
- 18:39Speaker 6: a thirty six total, and in twenty two Rams Broncos
- 18:43Speaker 6: was fifty one fourteen with a thirty six total. I
- 18:46Speaker 6: don't know how that was thirty six, but maybe was
- 18:49Speaker 6: that the Kendall Hinton game. I don't even remember what
- 18:53Speaker 6: year was that twenty two Christmas Rams Broncos. Was that
- 18:57Speaker 6: thirty seven?
- 18:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they had that wide receiver for
- 19:00Speaker 2: those starting at quarterback.
- 19:01Speaker 6: Maybe I don't remember.
- 19:03Speaker 5: All right, well that was that was COVID year.
- 19:07Speaker 6: Something weird happened with that game.
- 19:08Speaker 5: That was Baker versus Ross thirty six? You sure you
- 19:13Speaker 5: have that right, I'll double check.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Is that when they the.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Rams signed Baker like the week before?
- 19:21Speaker 6: Maybe that's a crazy total though, And.
- 19:23Speaker 4: Oh my god, I forgot about that because that was.
- 19:26Speaker 5: At the end of the year.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Only have a revenge game Sunday night.
- 19:30Speaker 5: Both teams were awful. I mean they were like it
- 19:33Speaker 5: was four.
- 19:33Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's a that's a thirty six. I see
- 19:36Speaker 6: a thirty six and a half on another site, that's right.
- 19:39Speaker 5: And what was the other game? Uh? The UH.
- 19:44Speaker 6: Raiders Jets twenty thirteen in Vegas thirty six and in
- 19:50Speaker 6: sixteen twelve barn Burner.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Notice a bit of a trend there. The Raiders involved
- 19:55Speaker 1: in these all right, we got stuck. We got stuck
- 19:57Speaker 1: on that game. But really good stuff there on Brown Raiders,
- 20:00Speaker 1: very actionable for the audience. Aaron Rodgers trying to play
- 20:04Speaker 1: through a fractured wrist in his non throwing hand, Kendra
- 20:08Speaker 1: action or distraction on that being a big, big impediment
- 20:14Speaker 1: to your handicap. On this game between the Steelers and
- 20:17Speaker 1: the awfully Lucky week after week Chicago Bears Bears minus
- 20:21Speaker 1: two and a half.
- 20:23Speaker 3: We swore that we weren't gonna touch this game, and
- 20:25Speaker 3: I'm still kind of there. But the thought of parkoset
- 20:29Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers really is kind of doing something for me.
- 20:33Speaker 4: Because Aaron Rodgers off.
- 20:35Speaker 3: A park we might get like vintage Rogers where he's
- 20:37Speaker 3: just like, you know what, I'm gonna go out there
- 20:39Speaker 3: and sling it because he's just gonna be.
- 20:41Speaker 4: No thoughts just yet. Have you guys ever had.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Surgery and taking a perkset, you really just your brain
- 20:47Speaker 3: just goes like numb, like it's just there's no thoughts,
- 20:50Speaker 3: no anger, You're just existing.
- 20:53Speaker 4: I'm like, purchase at Aaron Rodgers might be the truth.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he operates like that on the regular.
- 20:59Speaker 3: No he's a grudge grudge holder, like he screams at people.
- 21:03Speaker 3: He gets mad, he yells. I think Perk said Aaron
- 21:05Speaker 3: Rodgers might just have no feelings for once, and that's
- 21:08Speaker 3: kind of scary in a good way for gamblers.
- 21:10Speaker 2: So you're in on potentially the.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Fractured hand Rogers Alexa play Future.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Let's talk luck rankings.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Unlucky favored teams are a strong trend in the luck
- 21:25Speaker 1: rankings that points the way of the Kansas City Chiefs,
- 21:29Speaker 1: an unlucky team that it's favored by three. Nick Giffen
- 21:33Speaker 1: did mention in the Weekly article that he will not
- 21:36Speaker 1: be betting Kansas City because he couldn't get there on
- 21:38Speaker 1: the number, but that he will be cheering for Kansas
- 21:40Speaker 1: City to further back his luck rankings, but stucky action
- 21:45Speaker 1: or distraction on the Chiefs as a luck rankings by
- 21:49Speaker 1: for you, have you gotten to the window on this game?
- 21:53Speaker 5: I could maybe get there at flat three. For what
- 21:56Speaker 5: it's worth, I haven't had this. This nugget as the
- 22:00Speaker 5: fifteenth team since nineteen ninety to be five and five
- 22:05Speaker 5: straight up or worse and favored versus team with an
- 22:08Speaker 5: eighty percent win percentage in the They're eleventh game or later.
- 22:12Speaker 5: So five hundred are worse week eleven or later other
- 22:18Speaker 5: team as an eighty percent win percentage. This is the
- 22:21Speaker 5: fifteenth time that's happened. The other fourteen fourteen and oh
- 22:26Speaker 5: straight up twelve ozho and two against the spread for
- 22:29Speaker 5: the favored team. So yeah, I mean, like the Chiefs
- 22:34Speaker 5: definitely have been unlucky. They were lucky last year. They're
- 22:37Speaker 5: dealing with that regression this year in close games. They're
- 22:39Speaker 5: all in five and one session games. Last year I
- 22:41Speaker 5: think they were eleven and h and I mean, like
- 22:44Speaker 5: this is usually Europe. There's a tax. Like last week
- 22:47Speaker 5: there was a tax. That's why I couldn't play the Chiefs.
- 22:49Speaker 5: There was a tax on Like though it's the Chiefs
- 22:51Speaker 5: must win, there's not as much of a tax, especially
- 22:54Speaker 5: if this is a flat three. And Daniel Jones has
- 23:00Speaker 5: turned back into a pumpkin. You look at his last
- 23:03Speaker 5: two games, I mean weeks one through eight, he had
- 23:06Speaker 5: three interceptions, nine sacks and two fumbles total. The last
- 23:11Speaker 5: two games, four interceptions, twelve sacks, six fumbles, basically just
- 23:18Speaker 5: tripling everything. So Stags is gonna send them. But it's
- 23:22Speaker 5: one thing that's concerning is like how much like Jonathan Taylor,
- 23:24Speaker 5: how big of a game can he have? But yeah,
- 23:28Speaker 5: out a flat three, I think it's Chiefs or nothing.
- 23:32Speaker 5: If they lose this game, now, oh boy, it's trouble
- 23:34Speaker 5: for Kansas City. I mean, the division's already gone. They're
- 23:37Speaker 5: basically four and a half back and it's week twelve.
- 23:42Speaker 5: But the wild card, I mean they're basically two and
- 23:46Speaker 5: a half back right now because they're two back of
- 23:50Speaker 5: the Jet Like they've lost to the Jags, they lost
- 23:54Speaker 5: to the Chargers right that, they don't have any of
- 23:56Speaker 5: these head to heads, So like this game is an
- 24:00Speaker 5: and they lose this, then you don't know they head
- 24:01Speaker 5: to have with the Colts. So like, this game is
- 24:04Speaker 5: a massive swing for Kansas City season. And if they
- 24:08Speaker 5: lose this, I don't think they make the playoffs, which
- 24:10Speaker 5: is crazy to think about, but I think they might
- 24:13Speaker 5: be on the outside looking in, Whereas if the Chiefs
- 24:18Speaker 5: do win, I think they eventually will make the playoffs.
- 24:21Speaker 5: And if the Chiefs do win, gotta start talking about
- 24:26Speaker 5: the Jags and that division because they play each other
- 24:30Speaker 5: twice in December. Colts could lose again next week against
- 24:34Speaker 5: the Texans, and like it could be you could have.
- 24:36Speaker 5: It could be tied going into that. I'm scared of Jackson.
- 24:39Speaker 5: I'm scared Jags. The Jacks have the Titans and the
- 24:45Speaker 5: Cardinals the next two weeks.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Very interesting wrap to the Jags schedule because they very
- 24:51Speaker 1: much control their own destiny.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Kendra, anything on this. We touched on this.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Quite a bit on Tuesday, but anything else to add
- 24:58Speaker 1: to Chiefs before I got a doozy to wrap up
- 25:02Speaker 1: action or distraction.
- 25:03Speaker 3: I need one more week to make my mind up
- 25:07Speaker 3: about Daniel Jones. I want to see him against a
- 25:09Speaker 3: good team, see how he does before I decide that
- 25:12Speaker 3: he's back to being old Daniel Jones. I'm cheering for
- 25:16Speaker 3: the Chiefs for obvious reasons, but they're in bet jail
- 25:18Speaker 3: for me, So yeah, I the Chiefs, the Chiefs, the Patriots,
- 25:22Speaker 3: and Lad McConkie are done for the year for.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Me, or at least until the playoffs out done and
- 25:27Speaker 4: sold over.
- 25:28Speaker 1: This is my parole hearing for the Kansas City Chiefs
- 25:31Speaker 1: this week. I do have them in pocket at minus three.
- 25:36Speaker 1: The Jags right now four to one to win the
- 25:39Speaker 1: AFC South. So a bit of a correlated play, believe
- 25:42Speaker 1: it or not that if you think Kansas City's gonna
- 25:46Speaker 1: win this game. That does create value on that Jags bet.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Something to think about. Jordan Hudson is apparently a competitive cheerleader.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Probably could have guessed that if you'd given me fifteen tries.
- 25:58Speaker 1: She has a grumpy seventy three year old boyfriend who
- 26:01Speaker 1: went to watch her latest competition. Kendra, action or distraction
- 26:05Speaker 1: on that being the worst or the most down bad
- 26:09Speaker 1: thing that you have? Is that worse than the most
- 26:12Speaker 1: down bad thing that you have ever done for any
- 26:16Speaker 1: sort of somebody that you're trying to court or a
- 26:19Speaker 1: significant other.
- 26:21Speaker 2: I'm not only a better question for Stucky, now that
- 26:23Speaker 2: I say that out loud.
- 26:24Speaker 4: I'm not in a beer league, cheer competition league, whatever,
- 26:29Speaker 4: But now I've done worse. I have absolutely done worse.
- 26:36Speaker 1: We're gonna need that story, by the way, But Stucky,
- 26:38Speaker 1: or do you have.
- 26:39Speaker 4: It if you want? My mom doesn't listen to this podcast.
- 26:43Speaker 5: I don't care for I'm not discussing go bel Chick anymore.
- 26:45Speaker 5: If he called a time out last week with twenty
- 26:47Speaker 5: seconds ago down nine for no reason and then wake
- 26:52Speaker 5: Far scored on fourth down to end the game when
- 26:55Speaker 5: they were just going to run off the clock, and
- 26:56Speaker 5: it cost me money because I either team total under.
- 26:59Speaker 5: I still have no idea why call that time out?
- 27:02Speaker 5: So he will not be getting any Christmas cards for me,
- 27:04Speaker 5: and I will not be discussing his personal life moving toward.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Yea, he's clearly got a lot on his mind.
- 27:10Speaker 1: I think it's impacting his decision making across the board.
- 27:13Speaker 1: But kendrack, go ahead, We're gonna want the story.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Okay.
- 27:17Speaker 3: So in girl world, there's this like joke where the
- 27:22Speaker 3: worst boyfriend you have is when you're nineteen years old.
- 27:25Speaker 3: I have dated perfect little PhD nerdy brunette men my
- 27:32Speaker 3: entire life, except for the boy I dated when I
- 27:35Speaker 3: was nineteen, So I fall into the joke of the
- 27:39Speaker 3: worst man I dated was when I was nineteen. The
- 27:43Speaker 3: guy that I dated when I was nineteen got arrested,
- 27:47Speaker 3: went to jail for dealing drugs, dropped out of school,
- 27:52Speaker 3: quit the football, got kicked off the football team, and
- 27:54Speaker 3: moved back in with his parents and was on house arrest.
- 27:58Speaker 3: I was sneaking in an out of his window at
- 28:01Speaker 3: night so that his parents didn't catch me coming over
- 28:04Speaker 3: while he was on house.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Like ankle bracelet nol. Yeah, oh geez, yeah, that's rough.
- 28:14Speaker 4: Sorry, mom, please don't ever listen to.
- 28:15Speaker 2: The show again. It's the trust circle. I was gonna
- 28:19Speaker 2: tell you that.
- 28:19Speaker 3: I have dated like the nicest, most no not even
- 28:23Speaker 3: a speeding ticket boys.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Ever with that that nineteen year old boyfriend for some reason, just.
- 28:32Speaker 2: At point it.
- 28:34Speaker 4: Was only like four months of dating because then I
- 28:36Speaker 4: was like, I can't be dating a felon. So he did. However,
- 28:40Speaker 4: when he got out of jail.
- 28:41Speaker 3: The second time, got a burner phone and decided to
- 28:46Speaker 3: text me pretending to be one of the Patriots players
- 28:49Speaker 3: that I like did a story on that week. And
- 28:51Speaker 3: I was like, he was like pretending to be him,
- 28:52Speaker 3: and he was like, yeah, sorry, I got.
- 28:53Speaker 4: A new phone. And I was like there's no way.
- 28:55Speaker 4: And then he text me and he was like, got you, bitch,
- 28:58Speaker 4: it's so and so.
- 28:58Speaker 2: And I was like what it sounds like a great guy,
- 29:03Speaker 2: just a swell individual. Hey, here how much shot.
- 29:06Speaker 3: I sent his mugshot to my friends like when I
- 29:09Speaker 3: told them this story like later in life, and they
- 29:11Speaker 3: were like, you know what, I get it.
- 29:13Speaker 4: He's handsome.
- 29:13Speaker 2: I was like, yep, you know there's more to life, Kendra.
- 29:18Speaker 3: I do follow the sexy mugshots Instagram. If you guys don't,
- 29:21Speaker 3: it's a good one.
- 29:23Speaker 2: And here I was.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I was going to tell you guys about the time
- 29:25Speaker 1: that I bought an easy bakeup and for a girl

- 30:08Speaker 1: The crown is yours, Kendra, Talk to us, what Week
- 30:12Speaker 1: twelve prop has you in a pickle?
- 30:15Speaker 4: Okay, we're in.
- 30:16Speaker 5: A pickle, though I'm really in a pickle now, all right,
- 30:19Speaker 5: look we're gonna pickle again.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Hey, I have thirty seven different ways I could go
- 30:26Speaker 3: with this, And if you watched me fill out our
- 30:29Speaker 3: doc before the show, I filled out like three different things.
- 30:33Speaker 3: I was gonna go with the t Higgins anytime pricing
- 30:36Speaker 3: because what is going on with Joe Burrow, Like they're
- 30:38Speaker 3: refusing to rule him out, refusing to say he's not
- 30:40Speaker 3: gonna play. I think it's stupid if they push him backerly,
- 30:43Speaker 3: but obviously it's still a possibility. I don't think he's
- 30:45Speaker 3: gonna play this week, but I almost went there instead.
- 30:50Speaker 3: I did some digging, and the yardage total for BTJ
- 30:53Speaker 3: this week is sixty three and a half.
- 30:55Speaker 4: He's averaged in the mid fifties.
- 30:56Speaker 3: He's coming off an injury, can't hold onto the ball,
- 30:59Speaker 3: like literally, I think he rubs bacon grease on his
- 31:01Speaker 3: hands and gloves before every single game. I don't know
- 31:04Speaker 3: if this is so much of a pickle, but I'm like,
- 31:07Speaker 3: do I get to the window on the under? Just
- 31:09Speaker 3: because that's been his average and obviously he's been struggling.
- 31:12Speaker 3: It's like I put this in our notes. It's like
- 31:14Speaker 3: expecting a nice hour pickle and getting a hot and
- 31:17Speaker 3: spicy pickle.
- 31:18Speaker 4: But I'm still leaning the under. I just why is
- 31:21Speaker 4: this number what it is?
- 31:23Speaker 2: It's a good question.
- 31:24Speaker 1: That is a high number for a guy that's had
- 31:25Speaker 1: a real case of the dropsies this year, and we've
- 31:29Speaker 1: seen him go over that twice on the season.
- 31:35Speaker 2: I kind of love that sucky.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Any thoughts on the BTJ prophing.
- 31:40Speaker 5: I got nothing. I'm trying to figure out if Barrow's playing.
- 31:43Speaker 5: I've been doing football morning. I didn't realize that this is, like, oh,
- 31:48Speaker 5: like this might happen. This is I don't know why
- 31:50Speaker 5: they're rushing their franchise quarterback.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Back because so musing himself back here.
- 31:57Speaker 3: I did a lot of research this morning, and it's
- 31:59Speaker 3: because it's their remaining schedule and to them, they could
- 32:02Speaker 3: probably still argue to themselves that the division might still
- 32:06Speaker 3: be in play let alone like the wild card because
- 32:08Speaker 3: of what's going on with the Chiefs and the Colts
- 32:10Speaker 3: may be collapsing and all of those like different scenarios.
- 32:13Speaker 3: Zach Taylor's quotes from the press conference were pretty insane.
- 32:18Speaker 6: Like it.
- 32:19Speaker 4: He made it sound.
- 32:19Speaker 3: Like there is like a serious potential that he could
- 32:22Speaker 3: play this week, But I just I'm I'm an agreemance
- 32:25Speaker 3: with why would you rush him back?
- 32:29Speaker 5: One of the worst defen all and a bad offensive line.
- 32:31Speaker 5: But they're the face is suspended this week too.
- 32:34Speaker 4: They're the Bengals.
- 32:36Speaker 3: They're fucking morons as a franchise, Like let's just let's
- 32:39Speaker 3: just talk about it like they are one of the dumbest,
- 32:43Speaker 3: dumbest like ownership, like everything, like if there is going
- 32:47Speaker 3: if you before the season were like, if there was
- 32:50Speaker 3: going to be a franchise to rush a star player
- 32:52Speaker 3: back from an injury, who would you get it would be,
- 32:55Speaker 3: I'd be like probably the Bengals.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, by the way, practiced in full in the
- 33:00Speaker 1: last practice for the sinsa Veles, so there's a very
- 33:03Speaker 1: real chance that he does play. I did bet t
- 33:07Speaker 1: Higgins anytime touchdown, and that was just based on Jamar
- 33:11Speaker 1: Chase not playing and him being the number one guy.
- 33:13Speaker 1: But I'll love that prop even more if Burrow is
- 33:16Speaker 1: out there, even if they're rushing him back to the field.

- 34:08Speaker 1: for the reason you all came here today are two
- 34:10Speaker 1: Kings and a Queen parlay. A reminder for those out there.
- 34:13Speaker 1: We nominate two plays, see if we can find some
- 34:17Speaker 1: consensus on the board and eventually land on our team
- 34:21Speaker 1: built parlay presented by Draft Kings. The Crown is yours.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Kendra get us started.
- 34:37Speaker 3: I had the over in the Seattle and the Tennessee game,
- 34:41Speaker 3: because I was thinking forty and a half feels low
- 34:43Speaker 3: for a Seattle team that could put that up on
- 34:45Speaker 3: the on the Titans, even if they wanted to. But
- 34:48Speaker 3: the other thing is here, if we get the Sam
- 34:50Speaker 3: Donald that we got last week, he could throw some
- 34:52Speaker 3: interceptions we should get, We could get some defensive scoring.
- 34:54Speaker 3: Tennessee's good for probably ten to twelve points a game.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Feels a little low for a team that one team
- 35:00Speaker 3: that could score this on their own let alone, if
- 35:01Speaker 3: you know, kind of shit hits the fan. But we
- 35:03Speaker 3: all seem to be in consensus on Vegas. So I
- 35:05Speaker 3: think Vegas is our play before we even go any further.
- 35:09Speaker 5: I got Vegas. I kind of like the under in
- 35:11Speaker 5: Seattle Tennessee just because at Seattle could be a little
- 35:13Speaker 5: flat after that Rams game. It's outdoors. They have some
- 35:17Speaker 5: injuries on the interier offensive line, and the strength of
- 35:20Speaker 5: the Tennessee defense is their interior. The defensive line with
- 35:23Speaker 5: Sweat and Simmons. You saw that last week. They kind
- 35:25Speaker 5: of Wrecktavoc on that game. So in interior pressure coming
- 35:28Speaker 5: at Darnald, that could cause some issues. And I mean
- 35:32Speaker 5: this Seattle defense is the real deal. I'm just not
- 35:35Speaker 5: sure all Tennessee is gonna score. I mean, they have
- 35:37Speaker 5: injuries at wide receiver, their offensive line is still terrible.
- 35:42Speaker 5: Ward has been bad, Like I just don't know how
- 35:43Speaker 5: they consistently moved the ball. So yeah, let's go with
- 35:47Speaker 5: Vegas minus three and a half.
- 35:50Speaker 4: That's my Vegas baby.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the world's worst totals better in the NFL.
- 35:55Speaker 1: I just it's just not my market. So I will
- 35:59Speaker 1: doubt every once in a while, but not a strong
- 36:01Speaker 1: opinion on that. I love the Raiders, and I think
- 36:05Speaker 1: we should do it with the number. Well, it's not
- 36:07Speaker 1: even money line this, let's get our let's get banged
- 36:09Speaker 1: for our buck here, we're gonna gown Las Vegas Raiders
- 36:12Speaker 1: minus three and a half.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Stucky, what about you?
- 36:15Speaker 5: My two either will go Saints. It doesn't matter if
- 36:20Speaker 5: it's money line or spread.
- 36:22Speaker 2: This.
- 36:23Speaker 5: The Falcons I think are toast. There's a number one.
- 36:25Speaker 5: It's a horrible spot, that dream crusher spot. They lost
- 36:28Speaker 5: back to back games in overtime, one in overseas, one
- 36:33Speaker 5: back in the States. Their defense is on the field
- 36:36Speaker 5: like he he plays a game. They got to be gassed.
- 36:38Speaker 5: They were gassed the end of last week. Saints coming
- 36:40Speaker 5: off of a bye, Shuck has looked better. And there's
- 36:43Speaker 5: no Drake London. I mean, he's probably one of the
- 36:48Speaker 5: most valuable receivers in the NFL. Given how good he
- 36:51Speaker 5: is and given what's behind him. Kirk Cousins is toast.
- 36:53Speaker 5: I mean, Cousins is forty second out of forty four
- 36:56Speaker 5: quarterbacks an EPA plus completion percentage over expectation, and he's
- 37:00Speaker 5: played the Dolphins and the Panthers. He's only ahead of
- 37:03Speaker 5: McCarthy and Gabriel. He's only one of four quarterbacks in
- 37:06Speaker 5: that staff that are in the negative. The only other
- 37:08Speaker 5: one is Ward Saints, so what are they going to
- 37:11Speaker 5: try to do? They're gonna try to run the ball. Well,
- 37:12Speaker 5: the Saints defense is good against the run, top ten
- 37:14Speaker 5: EPA success rate. They're just gonna load the box. We
- 37:17Speaker 5: already saw the Falcons with Cousins and without London they
- 37:21Speaker 5: lost by twenty eight at home to the Dolphins. So
- 37:25Speaker 5: Saints should be able to run the ball here. That'll
- 37:27Speaker 5: help out Chuck, and the on off splits with him
- 37:31Speaker 5: without London are devastating. I mean, the average five point
- 37:34Speaker 5: seven yards per play with them four point four without
- 37:37Speaker 5: them run game most importantly goes from four point seven
- 37:40Speaker 5: to three point five. That's because you don't have to
- 37:42Speaker 5: worry about London. Just stack the box, contain bijon, Falcons
- 37:46Speaker 5: go to sleep. So basically, if you look at their
- 37:49Speaker 5: EPA per play without panis I mean without London, they're
- 37:52Speaker 5: basically the Browns offense and only the Titans are worse.
- 37:55Speaker 5: So I like the Saints to get it done, and
- 37:59Speaker 5: then the Cowboys. Although we need a three and a
- 38:02Speaker 5: half there, we could buy it for twenty five. I
- 38:07Speaker 5: think at DraftKings. I played this earlier in the week
- 38:10Speaker 5: at a better number, but still even at a more
- 38:12Speaker 5: expensive three and a half that that's okay for me.
- 38:15Speaker 5: I mean, this Eagles offense can't get margined on anybody.
- 38:19Speaker 5: They are who they are at this point. They have
- 38:22Speaker 5: seven of the eight wins this year by one possession.
- 38:24Speaker 5: There's seven to one and one possession games. Cowboys recent
- 38:28Speaker 5: additions on defense will help with their RUNDI play a
- 38:30Speaker 5: lot of zone on the back end. That's what we
- 38:32Speaker 5: want to do against Hurts. The Eagles can't really throw
- 38:34Speaker 5: it anyway, and I trust this Cowboys offense to score.
- 38:37Speaker 5: I know the Eagles defense really improving, but I think
- 38:42Speaker 5: this is like a field goal game either way. Dak
- 38:45Speaker 5: first the division for what it's worth, thirty one and
- 38:47Speaker 5: thirteen against the spread, just a crazy run that he's
- 38:50Speaker 5: been on for his whole career, covering by about a
- 38:52Speaker 5: touchdown per game over seventy percent against the closing number.
- 38:56Speaker 5: So those are my votes. We can go Saints money
- 38:59Speaker 5: line were spread, bull or Cowboys, but need to three
- 39:05Speaker 5: and a half.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm the Doucans, so I can't go with the Saints,
- 39:11Speaker 3: and I don't love the Cowboys, saying just because for
- 39:14Speaker 3: some reason the Eagles always find ways.
- 39:16Speaker 4: To win, but gun into my head, I'm probably gonnag
- 39:18Speaker 4: go Cowboys.
- 39:20Speaker 2: I have a really hard time getting there. On the Saints.
- 39:22Speaker 1: I do think that's the right side, but having stared
- 39:24Speaker 1: at that plus one and a half on Sunday night
- 39:27Speaker 1: and not firing on it and then looking at them
- 39:29Speaker 1: as Tyler Schuck is a favorite, I have a golden
- 39:33Speaker 1: rule in betting, don't bet irresponsible favorites, and I think
- 39:36Speaker 1: the Saints would fall into that bucket. So I have
- 39:39Speaker 1: a hard time going against my own personal philosophy.
- 39:43Speaker 2: I love the Cowboys.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Bet though, so I like both of them, but I've
- 39:47Speaker 1: already bet the Cowboys, so I'm good. I'm trying to
- 39:51Speaker 1: decide on which one to vote on here because I
- 39:53Speaker 1: already have a bet on and I'm being this is
- 39:55Speaker 1: a selfish bit of analysis here. I already have a
- 39:57Speaker 1: bet on the Cowboys, and I kind of want in
- 40:00Speaker 1: on the Saints, So part of me wants to throw
- 40:02Speaker 1: the Saints in there, just so that's my.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Way of getting in on New Orleans.
- 40:06Speaker 1: But I like the Dallas bet better, so I'm gonna
- 40:09Speaker 1: think logically and not selfishly here. I'll go Dallas, and
- 40:12Speaker 1: I do think we should buy that extra half point. Evan,
- 40:16Speaker 1: there's a there's not totally a split if we seem
- 40:19Speaker 1: to be in agreement here, But where would you land
- 40:22Speaker 1: on this?
- 40:22Speaker 2: Since there's there are some thought bubbles forming for us.
- 40:26Speaker 6: I would probably lean Saints as hard as it is
- 40:30Speaker 6: team off of by other team back to back OT,
- 40:33Speaker 6: especially with the fact coming Overseas off OT play OT
- 40:37Speaker 6: again other team off of BYE. Like I think, then
- 40:40Speaker 6: the spread is telling you that the Saints are obviously
- 40:43Speaker 6: the right direction here, even with Cousins. Here's the number
- 40:47Speaker 6: Pennis and Cousins last four games when targeting wide receivers,
- 40:51Speaker 6: not Drake London thirteen receptions on thirty eight targets absolutely bonkers,
- 40:57Speaker 6: So I assume that's going to be struggling as well
- 40:59Speaker 6: against his defense, So I probably lean sants.
- 41:02Speaker 1: All right, But Kendrick, you like the Cowboys. I like
- 41:06Speaker 1: the Cowboys. We're going Cowboys. Thank you for the analysis
- 41:09Speaker 1: of it.
- 41:11Speaker 5: But you're to go with two new plays. Your your
- 41:13Speaker 5: your plays are Bengals plus seven that that's no longer available, and.
- 41:18Speaker 4: The Lions are Yeah, that's a different number, no longer available.
- 41:22Speaker 2: What d well?
- 41:25Speaker 1: I mean it was plus seven when I started working
- 41:27Speaker 1: this morning. I got seven, all right?
- 41:32Speaker 5: Half a draftings half hmm.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Okay, let me just make my case for the Bengals.
- 41:39Speaker 2: The Lions. One is very simple.
- 41:41Speaker 1: It is Dan Campbell Jared Goff off of bye against
- 41:44Speaker 1: the team that can't stop the run. This is perfectly
- 41:47Speaker 1: catered to their ability to bloat. This they just this
- 41:50Speaker 1: is what they do. They blow bad teams out, and
- 41:52Speaker 1: they do it off of losses, and they do it
- 41:54Speaker 1: at home. I mean, this is just that's as simple
- 41:56Speaker 1: as it gets. I have not bet that one yet
- 41:58Speaker 1: for the record, This would just be I think it's
- 42:01Speaker 1: a really good nominee for the parlay. I am trading
- 42:06Speaker 1: in my sad cats for some different cats here as
- 42:09Speaker 1: far as Cincinnati goes, I might go broke fading the
- 42:12Speaker 1: Patriots this year, but I'm gonna go back for some
- 42:14Speaker 1: more pain.
- 42:15Speaker 2: I already bet this.
- 42:16Speaker 1: This number was plus eight and a half just a
- 42:19Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and I wanted in before dipped
- 42:22Speaker 1: any further. I'm not too worried about Chase being out
- 42:26Speaker 1: because T Higgins is still there. They should still be
- 42:28Speaker 1: able to throw the football. And New Orleans or New
- 42:30Speaker 1: England rather has not faced many healthy or functional offenses
- 42:35Speaker 1: this year, and I think it's helping their overall defensive
- 42:38Speaker 1: numbers and making those on that healthy.
- 42:40Speaker 5: But what now this has come down of seven. There's
- 42:44Speaker 5: variance with Burrow. We don't know if he's gonna play.
- 42:46Speaker 5: Why don't we go? It feels like a moneyline dog.
- 42:50Speaker 4: That's what I was just gonna say.
- 42:52Speaker 5: Sits due for like a just a you know where
- 42:55Speaker 5: they come out completely flat. Every NFL team is a
- 42:57Speaker 5: couple games a year where they just don't show up,
- 43:00Speaker 5: like a game at Sincy that could you know they've
- 43:03Speaker 5: been in their fat and happy in cruise control, and
- 43:05Speaker 5: then you have the upside of Barrow potentially playing.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Yeah, but this puts a lot of pressure on me, guys, because.
- 43:10Speaker 5: They now Carey doesn't put it actually puts no pressure
- 43:14Speaker 5: on you. You're taking the shot.
- 43:16Speaker 3: We're basically predicting if Joe Burrow is gonna play or not.
- 43:18Speaker 3: That's what this comes down to.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Even if Borrow doesn't play it. I don't think the
- 43:21Speaker 5: Bengals are completely out of it, like they Flacco could
- 43:24Speaker 5: just have a day.
- 43:25Speaker 4: Defense is so bad.
- 43:27Speaker 5: Yeah, but the Patriots could just have an off day.
- 43:29Speaker 5: I mean that happens in the NFL every like like
- 43:33Speaker 5: the Packers lost at home to the Panthers, the the
- 43:37Speaker 5: Lions lost to JJ McCarthy, like Matt Home.
- 43:40Speaker 1: I have an idea, so I have I have, I
- 43:43Speaker 1: have an idea here on how to handle this.
- 43:45Speaker 5: Yeah, the seven is gone, so we might as well
- 43:47Speaker 5: go money line with the upside of Barrow playing.
- 43:49Speaker 6: I mean I like both bets, Cincinnati money line and
- 43:52Speaker 6: Detroit to blow out the Giants.
- 43:54Speaker 4: I think are let's go Bengals.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Yeah, let's Cats parlay.
- 44:01Speaker 5: And it's ten. So Bengals Saints, Bengals money line Saints
- 44:06Speaker 5: money line.
- 44:08Speaker 2: That we had Dallas.
- 44:10Speaker 3: No, it's Dallas, Dallas and a three and a half
- 44:14Speaker 3: on the Cowboys, and.
- 44:19Speaker 5: We can go Raiders money line too, and then that's
- 44:22Speaker 5: eight to one.
- 44:24Speaker 2: All right, So at d Bengals money line?
- 44:28Speaker 6: Do Raiders money line?
- 44:29Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 44:29Speaker 5: Yeah, Raiders money line, Bengals money line, Cowboys plus three
- 44:32Speaker 5: and a half plus eight ten on DraftKings.
- 44:36Speaker 1: That is our two Kings and a Queen parlay presented
- 44:41Speaker 1: by DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I don't want to
