- 0:52Speaker 1: I did not know where you were. Um, I of
- 0:56Speaker 1: course I'm in Connecticut. You were in Florida. I thought
- 1:01Speaker 1: you were gonna like do it from some whatever bar
- 1:03Speaker 1: you live in when you leave the office. But you're
- 1:07Speaker 1: in Florida. That's fantastic. I know how much you hate Florida.
- 1:10Speaker 1: I know how much it pains you to go there.
- 1:12Speaker 1: I know that you are living the American dream. And
- 1:16Speaker 1: you left Florida year ago with nothing in your pocket,
- 1:20Speaker 1: just a large degree and a legal job that you quit.
- 1:24Speaker 1: You left behind. You move north to New York. You
- 1:29Speaker 1: became a bar stool sports intern because you wanted to
- 1:34Speaker 1: be in the cavern business. You want to make your
- 1:36Speaker 1: living as an analyst, and now you're doing it for
- 1:39Speaker 1: the actual network. That is a reason to give thanks.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I love everything about this. You are bringing fire today.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I love it. Well. This is an unusual week. As
- 1:54Speaker 1: you know, you're on the phone. I don't get to
- 1:57Speaker 1: see you, hold your hand, smell your vape. This is
- 2:04Speaker 1: gonna go out late Wednesday night because we're recording this
- 2:08Speaker 1: right after the lines dropped, so we can all get
- 2:11Speaker 1: to the Thanksgiving games and we can all get to
- 2:13Speaker 1: our families and our friends. But a couple of things
- 2:16Speaker 1: need to be different this week. Uh, Georgina not with us.
- 2:19Speaker 1: This week is her bye week. Matt Ford are brilliant, talented,
- 2:24Speaker 1: hipster producer. We'll be reading the lines. We are also
- 2:27Speaker 1: going to say, hey, keep reviewing this show on iTunes
- 2:30Speaker 1: and Georgina will read her favorites next week. I truly
- 2:33Speaker 1: love how much you guys ripped me every single week.
- 2:36Speaker 1: It's a joy to know that I'm going to get
- 2:38Speaker 1: a read of a review from Georgina in which the
- 2:42Speaker 1: punch line is going to be something something something, Oh
- 2:45Speaker 1: and Chad to yep. Okay, so they always go. That's
- 2:51Speaker 1: the template. Seems to be a pattern. Speaking of patterns,
- 2:57Speaker 1: black jack, last week two and three, the week before one,
- 3:04Speaker 1: three and one. Our record so far twenty three and four,
- 3:12Speaker 1: which I gotta say is pretty impressive. It's not good enough, Chad,
- 3:18Speaker 1: plain and simple. It's not good enough. All right, we
- 3:20Speaker 1: were doing well. We we got a little overconfident, we
- 3:22Speaker 1: got cocky, and now the last two weeks have come
- 3:25Speaker 1: up and bitten up square in the ass. It's time
- 3:28Speaker 1: to get back, get right and start making some good picks.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You know what we should do. Bet good teams. They
- 3:34Speaker 1: seem to win games, and they generally seem to cover.
- 3:37Speaker 1: That's a good things true. But you know, somehow we're
- 3:40Speaker 1: gonna wind up with three of the five worst teams
- 3:44Speaker 1: in the NFL. So well, I look forward to that
- 3:46Speaker 1: journey with you, Matt Forward. You are Georgina, do not
- 3:51Speaker 1: let us down. I'll try, Chad, Chicago at Detroit bears
- 3:56Speaker 1: By three. That sucked. Try again, Chicago at Detroit bears
- 4:02Speaker 1: By three. It's better. It's a little more in my
- 4:07Speaker 1: flat check like that. Genuinely, he genuinely laughed at that.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I laughed at it because I spoke to Matt before this,
- 4:15Speaker 1: and that's like, I'm just gonna play this right down
- 4:17Speaker 1: the middle. I'm not gonna try to be Georgina. And
- 4:20Speaker 1: as soon as he does that, he gets that sucked.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I didn't even know I was gonna say that until
- 4:27Speaker 1: he started reading, and I'm like, oh, it'll be funny
- 4:29Speaker 1: if I say this. Wow. Alright, So Bears Lions, Um
- 4:35Speaker 1: Chase Daniels, Chase Daniel game um without Jeff Schwartz protecting
- 4:44Speaker 1: him because Jeff Schwartz has been there for thirty of
- 4:45Speaker 1: his touchdown passes. Jeff Schwartz. Jef Schwartz has protected him
- 4:50Speaker 1: for twenty of his thirty eight career passes. So, um,
- 4:54Speaker 1: you know this game stinks. Chat. I want no part
- 4:56Speaker 1: of this game. I hate it. I hate everything about it.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I hate that I have to watch it. It is
- 5:00Speaker 1: a little bit of a bummer. Um. I was lined
- 5:03Speaker 1: up for, like, you know, these Bears, they're um bestilling
- 5:08Speaker 1: my heart by winning every week in ways that I
- 5:14Speaker 1: was not expecting. Troubisky just seems to be getting better
- 5:17Speaker 1: and better. They're putting the ball in his hands to
- 5:19Speaker 1: win games now, which I thought they should have been
- 5:22Speaker 1: doing earlier in the year. I'm sad that he's out.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I'm sad to not watch him. Uh. I agree, though
- 5:29Speaker 1: I'm not loving many of these things, giving day games,
- 5:31Speaker 1: to be honest, So let's skip over this one and
- 5:34Speaker 1: move on to the next. Washington at Dallas Cowboys by seven.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I love it. What do you love about this? Which
- 5:44Speaker 1: side the Redskins? Give me the red Skins and the
- 5:47Speaker 1: point McCoy in this spot. Coulte McCoy never lost to
- 5:52Speaker 1: the Cowboys. All right, people, listen, Coulte McCoy is one
- 5:55Speaker 1: of the highest paid backup to the NFL for a reason.
- 5:58Speaker 1: He is a decent quarterback. And you you We've seen
- 6:02Speaker 1: this happen over and over this season. Right the backup
- 6:06Speaker 1: comes in and the first game he's in, they play
- 6:09Speaker 1: really well. Afterwards, it could be a disaster, But on
- 6:13Speaker 1: a short week, with Dallas not having a ton of
- 6:15Speaker 1: time to prep for him, I think Cope McCoy can
- 6:18Speaker 1: get the job done here. I like the Redskins a
- 6:21Speaker 1: lot in this game, and you're throwing seven on the
- 6:23Speaker 1: board with the Dallas Cowboys. I don't know the Dallas
- 6:25Speaker 1: should be laying seven anybody right now, certainly not a
- 6:28Speaker 1: divisional opponent on a short week. Love the Redskins. And
- 6:33Speaker 1: you know the one thing the Redskins defense as real, well,
- 6:36Speaker 1: they stopped the run. They stopped the run. And if
- 6:40Speaker 1: you fource Dallas to become a passing offense, it ain't good.
- 6:47Speaker 1: The thing is, I don't disagree with you. I really don't. Right,
- 6:54Speaker 1: we got Skins. I think we do. I really think
- 6:59Speaker 1: we do. I'm a huge Colton McCoy fan, huge Colton
- 7:03Speaker 1: McCoy fan, um, and I think that what I've read
- 7:08Speaker 1: is how much the players are excited for Colton McCoy
- 7:12Speaker 1: and how sort of internally even the players have been
- 7:16Speaker 1: asking like, why isn't Colton McCoy just playing more? And
- 7:20Speaker 1: you saw the way they rallied around him. Um, you know,
- 7:25Speaker 1: I think he's ready to go back home to Texas
- 7:27Speaker 1: and uh and play this game tight. I agreed, love it.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Matthew Atlanta at New Orleans Saints by look look, look,
- 7:47Speaker 1: I hate to say it. The Falcons are the right
- 7:50Speaker 1: side in this game. Bookmaker Scooch. Bookmaker Scooch in the
- 7:54Speaker 1: Wednesday episode of The Favorites, which came out, you know,
- 7:57Speaker 1: twelve hours ago, UM basically said the line on this
- 8:02Speaker 1: game is ten but they are so inflating the Saints, begging,
- 8:07Speaker 1: begging for people to take the Falcons in this game.
- 8:11Speaker 1: This game opened at fourteen and a half, it got
- 8:13Speaker 1: back down to thirteen. On the podcast with Scooch, he
- 8:17Speaker 1: raised the point spread from thirteen to thirteen and a half.
- 8:20Speaker 1: He moved the line from thirteen to thirteen and a
- 8:23Speaker 1: half only to get more money to come in on
- 8:25Speaker 1: the Falcons. And he did, and he still didn't move
- 8:28Speaker 1: it back down to the problem. And this game is
- 8:32Speaker 1: gonna be a shooter. The problem. I hate the Falcons.
- 8:40Speaker 1: You need to talk me into this game. Well, I mean, listen.
- 8:44Speaker 1: The way to talk you into it is is by
- 8:46Speaker 1: using your own logic. Here, Okay, the Saints are off
- 8:50Speaker 1: of three games in a row where they have exceeded expectations.
- 8:55Speaker 1: They beat the undefeated Rams, they go on the road
- 8:57Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, put fifty on the board there. Then the
- 9:01Speaker 1: Eagles come to town with their season on the line,
- 9:04Speaker 1: and they throttle the Eagles seven. So when you talked
- 9:08Speaker 1: two weeks ago about the Saints being overvalued, I disagreed
- 9:11Speaker 1: with you. Last week I thought they were overvalued. This week,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I sure as hell think they're overvalued because You've got
- 9:17Speaker 1: the Saints coming off of just dominant wins. The Falcons
- 9:21Speaker 1: come off the game where they look like they forgot
- 9:23Speaker 1: how to score, which is not that team's m O.
- 9:26Speaker 1: That's not their personality. Their personality is a lousy defense.
- 9:29Speaker 1: But they can put points up. It's a short week,
- 9:32Speaker 1: divisional game and thirteen on the board. I bet this
- 9:36Speaker 1: line as soon as I saw it. I love the Saints.
- 9:39Speaker 1: You and I both have futures on them. Everyone knows that.
- 9:42Speaker 1: But you can't lay thirteen in a divisional game with
- 9:44Speaker 1: an offense as dangerous as the Falcons. I like the Falcons. Okay,
- 9:49Speaker 1: I will do it. Yeah. I needed you to pull
- 9:56Speaker 1: me back into rational thought. That's what I am. That's
- 10:00Speaker 1: a terrifying thing when you want me to pull you
- 10:02Speaker 1: into rational thought. I know, right, But I'm a rational
- 10:05Speaker 1: thinker and sometimes I need people to remind me of that.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And when I get irrational, when I start to get auntsie,
- 10:11Speaker 1: when I start to think, wait, am I betting the
- 10:14Speaker 1: team I've seen? Or am I betting the number? I
- 10:17Speaker 1: need someone to come back and give me ballast, give
- 10:21Speaker 1: me something to hold on to the handrail on the
- 10:25Speaker 1: roller coaster. That is our lives as betters. You are
- 10:30Speaker 1: my handrail, black Jack. All right, we got to it's
- 10:35Speaker 1: gonna be a very anxious Thanksgiving, and not just because
- 10:39Speaker 1: we're separated by thousands of miles from each other and
- 10:42Speaker 1: you're in Florida. True story. What do we got next, Mattie,
- 10:49Speaker 1: New York Giants at Philly Eagles by six, No, thank you,
- 10:56Speaker 1: I agree with you. Pass jack's Ville at Buffalo Jack's
- 11:01Speaker 1: by three Jacksonville all day long. Mm hmm. These are
- 11:08Speaker 1: still the Buffalo Bills, Chad. Don't forget because they've been
- 11:11Speaker 1: gone for a week on a bye. These are still
- 11:13Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Jacksonville played a strong game against Pittsburgh.
- 11:17Speaker 1: They choked it up late. But if Jacksonville does the
- 11:21Speaker 1: same thing they did to the Steelers to the Bills,
- 11:23Speaker 1: they win this game by twenty. I want to come
- 11:27Speaker 1: back to it. I don't disagree with you, but let's
- 11:33Speaker 1: make it a maybe. I worry about this team. I
- 11:37Speaker 1: worry about this team just sort of having lost their
- 11:44Speaker 1: ambition and their motivation and not knowing what they're playing
- 11:48Speaker 1: for anymore. I'm not sure you know that was There
- 11:53Speaker 1: were plenty of plenty of times against the Steelers where
- 11:56Speaker 1: they had ridiculously bad broken coverages. It was the second
- 11:59Speaker 1: week in a row, which this this, uh, this defense
- 12:04Speaker 1: kind of gave a game away. But the is that
- 12:10Speaker 1: the Steelers have James Conner and Juju Smith Schuster and
- 12:14Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, and the Buffalo Bills have a few guys
- 12:18Speaker 1: that they found, you know, down at Duff's eating chicken wings.
- 12:22Speaker 1: So um, they could really try to give it away
- 12:25Speaker 1: and still win the game. I mean, those are good points. Smile.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Florida Air must agree with you. Maybe it's the humidity,
- 12:31Speaker 1: because does not agree with me. Nothing about this this
- 12:34Speaker 1: state agrees with me. Certainly not. The humidity. Eighty degrees
- 12:38Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving is unnatural. It's subhuman. Why are you there?
- 12:45Speaker 1: I have family here, Channel, I want a choice. You
- 12:49Speaker 1: know what, black Jack, you're a superstar. Now you've got
- 12:55Speaker 1: a podcast, you're on television. You've got a cowboy hat,
- 12:59Speaker 1: you've got sequence shoes, you got a job. People should
- 13:05Speaker 1: come to you. That's right, that's right, Chad. This should
- 13:10Speaker 1: be happening. We should be enjoying the spread overlooking the
- 13:13Speaker 1: Santa and the mountains somewhere out in California, in a
- 13:16Speaker 1: place befitting of my stature in life instead of jump.
- 13:21Speaker 1: But here we are. Let me ask you a question.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Do you think I go to people? No, the people
- 13:29Speaker 1: come to me. That's a difference. That is the difference.
- 13:37Speaker 1: That is how you know I don't live on a
- 13:40Speaker 1: mansion and a mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut like you do.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That three is how you know I am the straw
- 13:48Speaker 1: that stirs the drink. All right, you're you're a straw
- 13:53Speaker 1: in terms of that's your body type. I don't really
- 13:59Speaker 1: how comment for that. Maddie. What's next? Thank god? You
- 14:03Speaker 1: asked Seattle at Carolina Panthers by three and a half,
- 14:09Speaker 1: and I it Oakland at Baltimore Ravens by ten and
- 14:13Speaker 1: a half. Next, yep. Next San Francisco at Tampa Bucks
- 14:19Speaker 1: by three and a half miners. Oh tell me why
- 14:28Speaker 1: I don't need it. Part of me just wanted to
- 14:31Speaker 1: say that because I felt like we couldn't say next
- 14:33Speaker 1: every single time. And there's a lot of crap games
- 14:35Speaker 1: on this board. But uh ay, the wise guys are
- 14:39Speaker 1: betting the Niners, and they moved this guy. They moved
- 14:42Speaker 1: this line down. If I were to look in, uh
- 14:45Speaker 1: the Action network gap, which is what Blackchap free, you say,
- 14:51Speaker 1: did you say it's free, don't have the by now.
- 14:53Speaker 1: If you don't have this out by now, you're an idiot. Yeah,
- 14:57Speaker 1: I think I agree with you completely. Um the line
- 15:03Speaker 1: open at three. It got that up to three and
- 15:05Speaker 1: a half. What's interesting is that of the tickets are
- 15:10Speaker 1: on the Bucks, but cent of the month, no percent
- 15:16Speaker 1: of the money is on San Francisco. So what that's
- 15:20Speaker 1: telling me is that the wise guys are on San
- 15:24Speaker 1: Francisco at um. A pretty nice clip at three and
- 15:29Speaker 1: a half. That's a huge discrepancy. All Right, I'll ribe
- 15:37Speaker 1: at San Francisco. Screw it, let's do it. Well, let's
- 15:40Speaker 1: put them maybe there Niners. Maybe little premature on the
- 15:44Speaker 1: ching ching um, but let's put them maybe there because
- 15:49Speaker 1: I don't know that we're gonna find that many games.
- 15:50Speaker 1: It's kind of a crappy week. All right. We've got
- 15:55Speaker 1: two maybes right now, just to remind people, we've got
- 15:57Speaker 1: two games on Thanksgiving that we're in. We're all in
- 15:59Speaker 1: on the Alkins plus thirteen, We're all in on the
- 16:03Speaker 1: Skins plus seven. We gotta maybe on the Jags, uh
- 16:07Speaker 1: minus three, and then maybe on the the Niners plus
- 16:12Speaker 1: three and a half. Wow, we are really living up
- 16:14Speaker 1: to our rep just taking bad teams. Alright, Chad. Before
- 16:18Speaker 1: we get to our next pick, I've got to stop
- 16:20Speaker 1: and talk for a second about an app that I've
- 16:23Speaker 1: downloaded here that everybody needs to know about. It's called
- 16:26Speaker 1: robin Hood. It's an investing app that lets you buy
- 16:30Speaker 1: and sell stocks, et f options, cryptos. All of it

- 16:53Speaker 1: and they present the data in an easy to digest
- 16:56Speaker 1: way that even people like me can understand. I am
- 16:59Speaker 1: super wealthy, black Jack, and i have a ton of
- 17:01Speaker 1: experience in the stock market, and I'm telling you right
- 17:03Speaker 1: now I downloaded the robin Hood app and it is
- 17:06Speaker 1: so easy to use. It is so intuitive. It makes
- 17:11Speaker 1: investing easier. Also, I love I'm not getting charged commissions.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'm not getting charged fees. Other brokerages they're charging me
- 17:21Speaker 1: up to ten dollars for every trade, but robin Hood
- 17:23Speaker 1: it's not charging me anything. I'm keeping all of my profits.

- 18:10Speaker 1: dot robin hood dot com. Alright, what do we got?
- 18:14Speaker 1: Maddie Cleveland at Chad's Bengals Bengals by three. Listen, this
- 18:23Speaker 1: is the huge Jackson Bowl, right, Listen to this. Listen,
- 18:26Speaker 1: listen to me. Hugh Jackson, Okay is on the sideline
- 18:34Speaker 1: whispering sweet nothings in Marvin Lewis's ear about the team
- 18:40Speaker 1: that he built, the players he coached. There's nobody in
- 18:46Speaker 1: the NFL who knows the Cleveland Browns as intimately as
- 18:51Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson. Please tell me you're joking. The fact you've
- 18:57Speaker 1: got it. You have to be joking, right, The fact
- 19:00Speaker 1: there's a punch one coming right. The fact that Hugh
- 19:02Speaker 1: Jackson is gonna be on the sideline for the Cincinnati
- 19:06Speaker 1: Bengals and then he knows as much about this team
- 19:11Speaker 1: as anybody. It is shocking to me. It is shocking
- 19:16Speaker 1: to me. It is shocking to me that the Browns
- 19:21Speaker 1: are not favored by a touchdown in this game. All right,
- 19:24Speaker 1: there it is Jesus fine, thank you God. I thought
- 19:27Speaker 1: you were really going to try to say Hugh Jackson
- 19:30Speaker 1: was an advantage. By the way, are there two people
- 19:32Speaker 1: in the NFL that deserve each other more than Marvin
- 19:35Speaker 1: Lewis and Hugh Jackson? Because I can't think of it.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Those two are destined to be together. It's pretty stunning. Cleveland.
- 19:45Speaker 1: I like Cleveland. Oh, we're not going to bet this game?
- 19:49Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I bet this game before I
- 19:51Speaker 1: bet the Niners. But the Jacks lay like Cleveland? Why not?
- 19:56Speaker 1: Why not? For once in our lives? Can we just
- 20:00Speaker 1: and we just bet on a good team? Can we
- 20:02Speaker 1: not sweat two games five years. I'll give you the
- 20:08Speaker 1: chance to bet a good team, Maddie. What's next? New England,
- 20:12Speaker 1: New York Jets, Patriots? By there it is. You want
- 20:16Speaker 1: to bet a good team New England? Lay it done.
- 20:22Speaker 1: That's not the good team that I was thinking about, Chad.
- 20:26Speaker 1: They're off of bye week playing the Jets. The last
- 20:28Speaker 1: time we saw the Jets, they got their doors blown
- 20:31Speaker 1: off by Matt Berkeley and the Buffalo Bills. Now you
- 20:36Speaker 1: get bratty off of by don't overthink this, don't be stupid,
- 20:41Speaker 1: pass pass by a million. I mean the Jets are
- 20:47Speaker 1: really the right side here? No they are not, Chad, No,
- 20:52Speaker 1: they are not. The New York Jets are not the
- 20:54Speaker 1: right side. No. They're a bad football team, very very bad.
- 20:59Speaker 1: They not be able to score points. The Patriots are
- 21:03Speaker 1: off of a bye week playing the Jets. Why why
- 21:07Speaker 1: do I have to say anything else? Aren't the Jets
- 21:11Speaker 1: off of a bye week? Yeah? And I don't think
- 21:14Speaker 1: it helps them. I think I feel better about this
- 21:21Speaker 1: game than the Niners. You think you just gave me
- 21:26Speaker 1: a lecture about how you want to bet good teams.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Here's a good team playing a lousy team. Lay the points.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. I think the Patriots are overrated.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I think you're out of your mind. We do this
- 21:39Speaker 1: every year and somehow you can still write them in
- 21:42Speaker 1: inc to be in the a f C title game.
- 21:45Speaker 1: We do this every year, and yet this is the
- 21:47Speaker 1: first year we're doing the podcast. To me that it's
- 21:51Speaker 1: the royal we Chad, it's the royal. We are right here,
- 21:56Speaker 1: very we're in a very comfortable marriage. And eight weeks
- 22:00Speaker 1: we've been doing this feels like eight years. Maybe you
- 22:05Speaker 1: should learn to count weeks, ten weeks, ten weeks, eleven weeks.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Patriots Chat, Patriots Gone, it's the Patriots, all right? To
- 22:15Speaker 1: bring this one up, Matt, Patriots. Patriots are third team
- 22:20Speaker 1: in Matt, Do you need a fucking queue? Read the
- 22:27Speaker 1: read the score, Read the line. Arizona at Los Angeles Chargers,
- 22:32Speaker 1: Chargers by twelve and a half. That's not how you
- 22:34Speaker 1: say Los Angeles. Say it right, Arizona at Los Angeles
- 22:44Speaker 1: Chargers charges by twelve and a half. Next, you can't
- 22:49Speaker 1: talk to the staff that way. Shut up. You can't
- 22:54Speaker 1: do it all right, You're not a dictator. We live
- 23:00Speaker 1: in a world, do you guys hear my family yelling downstairs.
- 23:07Speaker 1: You could be overthrown by a strong gust of wind.
- 23:10Speaker 1: All right, you can't be talking to people that way.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, Matt. It's okay, Chad, thanks black Jack.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Ready for the next game? Yes, Pittsburgh at Denver, Steelers
- 23:24Speaker 1: by three? I hate this? Oh my god, are you
- 23:34Speaker 1: kidding me? What do you? What do you like here?
- 23:38Speaker 1: Because I know what I think, but I don't want
- 23:40Speaker 1: to say it. Do you think the Broncos kind of
- 23:49Speaker 1: the Steelers are not a great road team? In Denver
- 23:51Speaker 1: is one of the toughest places to play. They just
- 23:55Speaker 1: flew to Jacksonville. Now they're flying the other way out
- 23:58Speaker 1: to Denver. I don't oh, man, I don't like it.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I don't like it. At some point the Steelers team
- 24:03Speaker 1: is gonna stub their toe. They do it every year,
- 24:06Speaker 1: and this just feels like a game where they could
- 24:09Speaker 1: have some problems. I don't know, I don't like it.
- 24:12Speaker 1: All right. Look, I actually love the Steelers in this spot,
- 24:15Speaker 1: and I hate betting road favorites. Um, but we're already
- 24:19Speaker 1: throwing caution to the win and betting a nearly double
- 24:22Speaker 1: digit road favorite in the Patriots, And like, I think
- 24:27Speaker 1: the Steelers have already stubbed their toe. I think they
- 24:30Speaker 1: stubbed their toe against the Browns early in the season.
- 24:33Speaker 1: I think they stubbed their toe when they were trying
- 24:36Speaker 1: to rectify the relationship between Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I think they stubbed their toe when they lost early
- 24:43Speaker 1: in the season. I think this team is through it.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I think this defense is getting better and better. The
- 24:50Speaker 1: fact they kept the Jaguars to the few number of
- 24:53Speaker 1: points that they did and then they were able to
- 24:56Speaker 1: come together and win that game on the road against
- 24:59Speaker 1: the best passing defense in the NFL. That and gives
- 25:04Speaker 1: me encouragement. They also are one of the ten teams
- 25:07Speaker 1: that I had to win the Super Bowl. But something
- 25:12Speaker 1: about them like I like it. All right, I'll do it.
- 25:16Speaker 1: I'll do it for Chris Raybon because he hates Vans
- 25:18Speaker 1: Joseph so much. I'll do it for him. Also, you
- 25:21Speaker 1: know what we gotta do. We gotta we gotta flip
- 25:23Speaker 1: the script. We gotta get aggressive. We've we've won games,
- 25:26Speaker 1: We've got a winning record, and that's that's valiant. That's
- 25:30Speaker 1: good in this contest. But we gotta make some moves.
- 25:34Speaker 1: We gotta start game theoryizing here, and uh, I like
- 25:38Speaker 1: going with road favorites when we need to start racking
- 25:41Speaker 1: up some wins, when people are going to be doing that.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Put it on the board. That's four Miami at Indianapolis
- 25:54Speaker 1: Colts by seven and a half. No, m mm hmm. No,
- 26:05Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like anything about it.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Tannehill's back because Tannahill's back, and you know, the Dolphins
- 26:12Speaker 1: did look all right with him. Seven and a half.
- 26:16Speaker 1: That number makes me queasy. Oh, I guess I'm just
- 26:20Speaker 1: not sure I believe that the Cults are ready to
- 26:21Speaker 1: be seven and a half point favorite. I'm not either.
- 26:24Speaker 1: But I also am not ready to buy into the
- 26:27Speaker 1: Dolphins being able to hang around. Like I don't know.
- 26:29Speaker 1: They're they're one of those teams that they either surprise
- 26:32Speaker 1: you and win the game or they just get blown
- 26:33Speaker 1: the hell out. Like I don't know. I don't like it.
- 26:36Speaker 1: I got no no feel for this. You operate on field, baby,
- 26:42Speaker 1: you damn mine? I do that, I know, all right?
- 26:49Speaker 1: All right, So what are our babies? We got one
- 26:50Speaker 1: more to film? Well, we got two more games still.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Oh all right, well let's do those. Green Bay at
- 26:58Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings by three and a half. I don't like
- 27:03Speaker 1: to hook. Nope, I don't either. What's the last one, Maddie,
- 27:11Speaker 1: Tennessee at Houston, Houston by six and a half. Do
- 27:20Speaker 1: we know what Mariota's deal is? Is he? Is he
- 27:24Speaker 1: right for this game or not? I don't think we
- 27:28Speaker 1: know yet. Yeah, that's the problem, right, because if Mariota
- 27:32Speaker 1: was playing, I would be inclined to take the point, really,
- 27:36Speaker 1: but yeah I would. Tennessee's defense has impressed me enough
- 27:42Speaker 1: that I think they can hang in a divisional game
- 27:46Speaker 1: within a touchdown. But if we're talking Blaine Gabbart, no way, no,
- 27:50Speaker 1: how not happened? So I think we have to leave
- 27:53Speaker 1: this off. All right, let me ask you this. Marcus Mariota,
- 27:58Speaker 1: He's uh, practice time was limited today. His playing status
- 28:03Speaker 1: is unclear. If Marcus Mariotta is playing, which you know,
- 28:08Speaker 1: he's got four days to to get better, I think
- 28:10Speaker 1: he can. Let's let's assume that he's going to play.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Do we like for our last pick, Tennessee plus six
- 28:20Speaker 1: and a half over Niners plus three and a half
- 28:25Speaker 1: over Jags minus three. We can stop this now. It's Jacksonville.
- 28:33Speaker 1: It's Jacksonville, clearly, the best play. Yeah. I like when
- 28:38Speaker 1: we do that part because that is like really a
- 28:41Speaker 1: clarifying moment. Yeah, there's no way you can justify taking
- 28:48Speaker 1: either one of those other teams over Jacksonville at Buffalo.
- 28:51Speaker 1: You gotta go Jacksonville. Well guess what then we're done?
- 28:58Speaker 1: We got five? Is this the mail at in pod?
- 29:01Speaker 1: Is that? What this is? Is that what we just did?
- 29:05Speaker 1: Listen to one of the Jags in this spot. One
- 29:08Speaker 1: of these two teams, Chad is going to get to
- 29:10Speaker 1: four wins on Sunday. Think about that. They played in
- 29:13Speaker 1: a think you want you want your mind to be blown.
- 29:16Speaker 1: These two teams played the playoff game last year and
- 29:19Speaker 1: now they're coming into a game, both of them at
- 29:22Speaker 1: three and seven. Jacksonville is the vastly superior team to
- 29:28Speaker 1: what Buffalo is trotting out weekend and week out. It's
- 29:31Speaker 1: not I mean, it's not close. All right, Here's what
- 29:36Speaker 1: we got. Washington Redskins plus seven against the Dallas Cowboys,
- 29:42Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons plus thirteen against the New Orleans Saints. Jacksonville
- 29:47Speaker 1: Jaguars minus three at Buffalo. That's three so far. New
- 29:53Speaker 1: England Patriots minus nine and a half after New York
- 30:00Speaker 1: Jets the Pittsburgh Steelers minus three at the Denver Broncos.
- 30:04Speaker 1: We are breaking custom, black Jack. We have three road
- 30:10Speaker 1: favorites on our list. This is how you get off
- 30:15Speaker 1: the schnide. Though, Chad, we've been getting our ass beat
- 30:18Speaker 1: the last two weeks. You gotta change it up and
- 30:21Speaker 1: pull a one eighty and just go and do something different.
- 30:23Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing, black Jack. You know what what,
- 30:30Speaker 1: I'm thankful for you as I am for you. You're
- 30:34Speaker 1: my beautiful boy. You are my beautiful boy. I want
- 30:37Speaker 1: you to have a wonderful Thanksgiving in Florida. I wanted

- 30:56Speaker 1: for Georgina for being better than Matt. So all right,
- 31:01Speaker 1: you see, that was the unnecessary point. It was unnecessary,
- 31:04Speaker 1: no argument here. I could not I could not resist that.
- 31:09Speaker 1: We also she's better at this, but you know there
- 31:12Speaker 1: was no need to say it. I'm also thankful for
