- 1:21Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I am Sad Moment, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.
- 1:29Speaker 1: If you are listening live on AMP, thank you. I
- 1:34Speaker 1: am joined as I am in every episode of the
- 1:38Speaker 1: Favorite Podcast by my bff, my companion, my compadre, Mr
- 1:41Speaker 1: Simon Hunter. Hello. Saw him in Fucking Reft Slink Kickers Chat.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Week nine, we joked like we nailed Foxhol. We nailed
- 1:55Speaker 1: Simon says, we nailed Exact Decision. We nailed the big
- 1:59Speaker 1: balls better than week we went four and one in
- 2:01Speaker 1: the contest. What did I say? I said, literally can
- 2:05Speaker 1: only get worse. The only way you could get better
- 2:08Speaker 1: is if we went five and oh in the contest.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I said, it can only get worse. This past week,
- 2:14Speaker 1: Week ten, we had the Packers plus five in the
- 2:18Speaker 1: Foxhol fantastic. Simon says Brown's plus four Exact Decision, Bears
- 2:24Speaker 1: minus two and a half Scooch Roulette, Denver plus two
- 2:27Speaker 1: and a half Steelers. Oh, I won that one Steelers
- 2:30Speaker 1: plus one and a half money Line Ron Robin. We
- 2:33Speaker 1: did have Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Green Bay Big Balls, Jacks
- 2:38Speaker 1: plus nine and a half and the Whole Kitten Camboodle.
- 2:41Speaker 1: We went two and three in the contest. It's a
- 2:43Speaker 1: weird week, you say, kickers and refs. But let's take
- 2:48Speaker 1: it back before we get into this week. Let's take
- 2:51Speaker 1: it back to very early Sunday morning. I'm at an
- 2:55Speaker 1: airport in Phoenix. I call you. We're going through our games.
- 3:00Speaker 1: What happens? Well, Chad was feeling good. He just had
- 3:03Speaker 1: a weekend with his closest childhood friends. And you're just
- 3:07Speaker 1: feeling good. You were happy, while me, the working man,
- 3:10Speaker 1: had not slept. Probably I had slept and not well
- 3:14Speaker 1: in four nights. Um, I had just never ending feeling
- 3:17Speaker 1: of impending doom. Basically, when I talked to Chat, I
- 3:19Speaker 1: always have three games that I like, like this whole year,
- 3:22Speaker 1: I've had pretty much every week, I have three or
- 3:23Speaker 1: four games I really like, and this week I too.
- 3:27Speaker 1: And even then, even when I said them out loud,
- 3:29Speaker 1: you I felt gross where I was like, I don't
- 3:31Speaker 1: even have that much faith. Can we take the bye week?
- 3:34Speaker 1: And you're in this airport and you're like, no, no, no,
- 3:36Speaker 1: let's save it, and I said, can we just take
- 3:38Speaker 1: the bye week? And he said no. He kept fighting
- 3:40Speaker 1: me on it. He said, I really like my two too. Yeah,
- 3:43Speaker 1: as the person that puts their life into football and
- 3:47Speaker 1: does nothing all a week. To have the man that
- 3:49Speaker 1: you know, vacation for a whole weekend to say, you know,
- 3:51Speaker 1: let's let's let it ride. I said, you know what,
- 3:54Speaker 1: the vibes are good right now. I have to trust Chad.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Maybe I'm overthinking this. Not gonna lie buddy. When it
- 3:59Speaker 1: was one in three, after the one PMS holy ship
- 4:02Speaker 1: was on me, I was like, how did we not
- 4:04Speaker 1: do this? I had no faith in Green Bay, especially
- 4:06Speaker 1: Green Bay. You know, I thought it was gonna be
- 4:08Speaker 1: the week of the weekend of the public, right the
- 4:10Speaker 1: public wasn'ta haveing a nice weekend. But yeah, thank god
- 4:14Speaker 1: two and three Again, those weeks don't hurt like two
- 4:16Speaker 1: and three obviously hurts, but we're only still two back
- 4:19Speaker 1: of the leader. So it's just like one of those
- 4:21Speaker 1: weeks were luckily everyone kind of did bad um so
- 4:24Speaker 1: we were able to stay afloat. But yeah, we still
- 4:26Speaker 1: have to use a bye week, and it's like it's
- 4:28Speaker 1: rare for me to you know me, it's rare so
- 4:30Speaker 1: anymore and I don't feel good. Um, I think that's
- 4:32Speaker 1: a three you off for me being like instantly firstanced
- 4:35Speaker 1: to do was like, let's take the bye week. Um,
- 4:37Speaker 1: I think that threw you off a little. It totally
- 4:39Speaker 1: threw me off. It was it just came out of
- 4:43Speaker 1: nowhere because we felt good about the games. I I
- 4:47Speaker 1: wasn't in a mental space. It was a little bit chemical.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I wasn't in a mental space to not have action,
- 4:55Speaker 1: do you know what I mean. I hadn't put myself.
- 4:58Speaker 1: We had talked about taking a bye later in the
- 5:00Speaker 1: or where there's gonna be six or seven teams I
- 5:03Speaker 1: think six teams that have a bye. And I said
- 5:05Speaker 1: that to you, and you made a really good point
- 5:07Speaker 1: that you know, there was there was uncertainty with Minnesota
- 5:10Speaker 1: and Buffalo, there was uncertainty with Arizona and the Rams.
- 5:16Speaker 1: So in essence, like there were six teams on the
- 5:19Speaker 1: by and we had four games we couldn't touch, and
- 5:21Speaker 1: then we had four four teams on a by, so
- 5:23Speaker 1: it's exactly six games, and so it was I thought
- 5:27Speaker 1: it was a really good point. But then you're like,
- 5:29Speaker 1: you know, by the way you come on the podcast
- 5:31Speaker 1: and You're always like, there's a little bit revisionist history.
- 5:35Speaker 1: You act like you were so definitive. Was the first
- 5:39Speaker 1: you were so definitive. You're like, there's two games that
- 5:42Speaker 1: I really like, and I'm like, well, there's two games
- 5:44Speaker 1: I really like. You love two games, and I love
- 5:46Speaker 1: two games. We felt strongly about four games. I think
- 5:49Speaker 1: the only game we didn't feel strongly about was Denver. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 1: but but we only felt strongly about two games. So
- 5:54Speaker 1: you each of us like two games out of the five. Well,
- 5:57Speaker 1: I loved the Steelers, and I loved the Bears, yeah,
- 6:01Speaker 1: And I like the Jags and I liked Green Pickers. Yeah.
- 6:05Speaker 1: But I know, I just had a bad feeling about
- 6:07Speaker 1: it because again, usually by by Sunday morning, I'll have
- 6:09Speaker 1: a lot of money bet, and I just didn't because they,
- 6:12Speaker 1: like I was just I had a bad feeling all week,
- 6:14Speaker 1: and I just kind of felt like we would do
- 6:15Speaker 1: I mean again, nine straight winning weeks. It's just I
- 6:19Speaker 1: wish I could come here and put my balls on
- 6:21Speaker 1: the tail, be like, yeah, this is how we do it.
- 6:22Speaker 1: But it's just not that you just don't win like that.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Football is a fucking grind. So I just had a
- 6:28Speaker 1: bad feeling. I'm glad we didn't take the buy honestly,
- 6:30Speaker 1: because two and three, yeah, that sucks. But it's like
- 6:33Speaker 1: I think it was last year, maybe the year before
- 6:35Speaker 1: you nailed it, had a week we want one of four,
- 6:36Speaker 1: and we took the bye That's what we're hoping on.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Like again, we know what's gonna happen. We're gonna go
- 6:41Speaker 1: four and one the bye week, but hopefully the spider
- 6:44Speaker 1: senses kick in again because I don't know, we kind
- 6:46Speaker 1: of saw it coming a little bit. But again, Jaguars
- 6:49Speaker 1: kicker hits one of those field goals, we're sitting here
- 6:51Speaker 1: three and two, So it's just it's just brutal when
- 6:54Speaker 1: those swings happened. Even Bears game right miss extra point.
- 6:58Speaker 1: The Bears up ten with fifty seconds left in the
- 7:03Speaker 1: third quarter and they had the ball and you throw
- 7:06Speaker 1: a pick six, you missed an extra point. You've got
- 7:10Speaker 1: god knows how many penalties like the Jags, and it
- 7:14Speaker 1: should have been a four in one week. It should
- 7:16Speaker 1: have been a fourgn one. It should have been a
- 7:18Speaker 1: three and two week at the least, like the Bears
- 7:21Speaker 1: were the better team on Sunday. It's fucking killing me
- 7:24Speaker 1: and don't you think that I Linkings ones where we
- 7:26Speaker 1: screwed up right, Like we were all over that Vikings
- 7:28Speaker 1: game and we didn't take it because it was only
- 7:30Speaker 1: four and a half in the contest where I was
- 7:32Speaker 1: sitting at six in the books, and it was just like,
- 7:35Speaker 1: we don't know what to do because again we didn't
- 7:36Speaker 1: know what the hell is going on the quarterback position.
- 7:38Speaker 1: So that that was. That was one of those I
- 7:39Speaker 1: was a brutal missed by us because we love that game.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Again we can have their money line. Obviously we both
- 7:44Speaker 1: had bet it, especially at the six six and a half,
- 7:47Speaker 1: So that was that was one of our bad misses.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Was watching the game Sunday afternoon and when the Packers
- 7:54Speaker 1: were down, I never once thought they weren't going to
- 7:58Speaker 1: cover that game. It just that to me, like I
- 8:02Speaker 1: was so in on that team, it never occurred to
- 8:05Speaker 1: me that we would have ended up one and four.
- 8:07Speaker 1: I thought your dad is dirt until it went to
- 8:08Speaker 1: overtime and I was like, okay, now when the coin toss,
- 8:12Speaker 1: lose the coin toss, and I was just like Jesus,
- 8:14Speaker 1: when will this game just end? It was one of
- 8:17Speaker 1: those days for me, But yeah, just a bad week again,
- 8:20Speaker 1: the first time all season all three of our teams lost.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It was just overall a weekend. Like again, I'll talk
- 8:26Speaker 1: about it right now. That's it. I won't even think
- 8:28Speaker 1: about it ever again. So that's how I feel about
- 8:30Speaker 1: this past weekend. Moving on. It does put me in
- 8:32Speaker 1: a bad mood. It's weird, and it hits me at
- 8:34Speaker 1: weird times, you know. I was, I was on the
- 8:36Speaker 1: bike yesterday and I'm like, fuck, we went two and three,
- 8:41Speaker 1: And like, it hit me last night when I was
- 8:43Speaker 1: watching the Washington Philly game. Even though I had the
- 8:46Speaker 1: Commanders move. The line moved last night to plus eleven
- 8:49Speaker 1: and a half, so I bet the Commanders at eleven
- 8:52Speaker 1: and a half. I had John Bates under seven and
- 8:55Speaker 1: a half receiving yards. That was like an A plus
- 8:58Speaker 1: grade with our pro tools and action labs. He had
- 9:01Speaker 1: zero receiving yards. So I ended the week, you know,
- 9:04Speaker 1: pretty strong, in a pretty strong way. I won quite
- 9:08Speaker 1: a bit. But the fans are all happy for you. Chat.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Don't be mean, don't don't be that way. I don't
- 9:15Speaker 1: say this stuff in your head, though you need this
- 9:16Speaker 1: pep talk in your own head. No one wants to
- 9:18Speaker 1: hear how you won. My egos lost. What do you
- 9:20Speaker 1: want me to clap for you? The Bears lost too,
- 9:23Speaker 1: But I fucking move on because I'm a professional, so
- 9:25Speaker 1: have you you know I moved on. I moved on?
- 9:30Speaker 1: All right? Well, you know what all we can do
- 9:34Speaker 1: is put on a podcast and do better than we
- 9:37Speaker 1: did last week. Yeah, it's already loved this week and
- 9:39Speaker 1: pared to last week. I love it, love it, already
- 9:41Speaker 1: made a couple of bets, a couple of reminders. Number one,
- 9:45Speaker 1: I say it at the end of every show. Feedback

- 11:06Speaker 1: we gotta do a foxhold. We gotta do with Simon says,
- 11:08Speaker 1: we gotta do an exact decision. We both were regretful
- 11:12Speaker 1: that we didn't bet the Panthers last week. Yeah, yeah,
- 11:17Speaker 1: I mean again. We gave out the money line to
- 11:19Speaker 1: our loyal live listeners, which was nice. Lea stay cash
- 11:22Speaker 1: with us on that. But yeah, definitely another reason why
- 11:25Speaker 1: I want to take the BIE. I was already like, man,
- 11:27Speaker 1: we we nailed that game. We didn't have it in
- 11:29Speaker 1: the contest. We should just skip this week. But this
- 11:31Speaker 1: week again, it's hard to take the favorite in a
- 11:35Speaker 1: position of both these teams seemed like equals Tennessee Packers.
- 11:41Speaker 1: It's just Rabel was a dog. I mean last week again,
- 11:45Speaker 1: they had no right winning or covering that game. They
- 11:47Speaker 1: had four their top defenders out. Tannehill doesn't look right. Still,
- 11:52Speaker 1: they got no receving weapons. Even Derrick Henry did not
- 11:55Speaker 1: have a good game to plays. They made two plays
- 11:58Speaker 1: and they won seventeen ten. And that's rebel, Like he's
- 12:01Speaker 1: just an incredible coach, gets his defense up for these
- 12:04Speaker 1: games and it's it's working. So a green Bay team
- 12:08Speaker 1: that just had this incredible victory. Man, I want to
- 12:12Speaker 1: take green Bay here because it's like this, this probably
- 12:14Speaker 1: is the right side. But if you're giving me three
- 12:16Speaker 1: or three and a half with Tennessee just a great defense,
- 12:20Speaker 1: I'm finally losing money on a team like this. Like again,
- 12:23Speaker 1: you're getting a good number against a green Bay team
- 12:25Speaker 1: that I just don't think they're that good. Even chat
- 12:27Speaker 1: today was like can they make the playoffs? And it's
- 12:29Speaker 1: like probably not right. It's like you want to think
- 12:32Speaker 1: that after they had to turn around maybe against green Bay,
- 12:34Speaker 1: I mean against the Cowboys, but that was just a
- 12:37Speaker 1: flukey situation, right. It was just a perfect matchup for them,
- 12:41Speaker 1: perfect spot for them. Again, we talked about them being undervalued.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Now this seems like the right value to me. Maybe
- 12:47Speaker 1: a little bit overvalue to Green Bay. So I'm gonna
- 12:50Speaker 1: come back to their side. I'll take Tennessee here at
- 12:52Speaker 1: three or three and a half. Don't know if we'll
- 12:53Speaker 1: make it to our contest, but I definitely think we're
- 12:55Speaker 1: getting a good number here. I feel like it's yucky
- 12:59Speaker 1: the Packers open two and a half. I think if
- 13:01Speaker 1: we were going to play it, it would have been
- 13:03Speaker 1: the two and a half um and I hate I
- 13:08Speaker 1: hate betting against this Titans team, and this feels like
- 13:13Speaker 1: the exact right number, right like I wanted to day
- 13:17Speaker 1: Green Bay. I just think this number is inflated too
- 13:19Speaker 1: much at this point. Eagles at the Colts. So now
- 13:22Speaker 1: the Eagles are without Dallas Goddard um. That was broken
- 13:25Speaker 1: live on Green Dot Daily. Simon and I were on
- 13:28Speaker 1: the Action Network Betting Agenda show Green Dot Daily noon
- 13:31Speaker 1: Eastern at Action Network HQ and the Action Network ap
- 13:34Speaker 1: Eagles off their first loss Colts the first win with
- 13:38Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday getting up a really bad Raiders team. Yeah,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I would lean Eagles here under a touchdown. I know
- 13:44Speaker 1: it's an ugly, gross road favorite, but the Eagles are
- 13:50Speaker 1: still a really good team. And the cults are inflated
- 13:54Speaker 1: here because last week they're terrible. They are the biggest
- 13:59Speaker 1: pause for me right now. I was we saw what
- 14:01Speaker 1: the Eagles defense looks like without Jordan Davis. Again. You
- 14:04Speaker 1: can talk about that until where you know sick in
- 14:07Speaker 1: the head about it, but it's just he's in your
- 14:09Speaker 1: He's gone. They're having to play Fletcher Fletcher Cox a
- 14:12Speaker 1: lot of snaps and that the tackle position. Last night
- 14:15Speaker 1: he was getting single block right. That's not like Fletcher Cox,
- 14:18Speaker 1: the guy that people think of as being all pro talent.
- 14:20Speaker 1: He is though he's old. Now he's just slow. He's different.
- 14:23Speaker 1: So maybe that's what people are betting here. The professionals
- 14:26Speaker 1: are coming in heavy because they think, Okay, the Colts
- 14:29Speaker 1: can do what they want to do in this again.
- 14:30Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to run the ball on ball,
- 14:31Speaker 1: control the clock. Again. That Ryan is clearly better than
- 14:35Speaker 1: the backup quarterback Sam. So I'm with you, chat, I
- 14:39Speaker 1: really want to take um the Eagles. I'm trying to
- 14:41Speaker 1: be smart about I did touch um a little bit,
- 14:44Speaker 1: put a little on it when it hit six and
- 14:46Speaker 1: a half, that I was gonna go back to seven.
- 14:47Speaker 1: It hasn't again, gives me a little more pause. Maybe
- 14:49Speaker 1: that's the Godhart news, but it's just a good number
- 14:52Speaker 1: on the Eagles team that people are down on now
- 14:54Speaker 1: right that they just got embarrassed in our primetime game,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and the whole cult organization is taking a vict re
- 15:00Speaker 1: lap after beating the Raiders again, their owners tweeting out
- 15:02Speaker 1: like like he's the man right now. It's it's a
- 15:06Speaker 1: bizarre world. So I'm with Chad. The Raiders are are
- 15:09Speaker 1: we the worst coach team of football right now? Might
- 15:12Speaker 1: be the worst run organization of football right now. Eagles
- 15:15Speaker 1: they're the complete opposite side of the coin. They're the
- 15:17Speaker 1: best run organization probably in football, one of the best
- 15:20Speaker 1: coaching staffs from football. You expect them to get it
- 15:22Speaker 1: right after an embarrassing loss from prime time. So I'm
- 15:25Speaker 1: with you, Job, I'll get the six and a half.
- 15:26Speaker 1: It's just a little bit hesitant on why this number
- 15:30Speaker 1: has dropped so much. Again, it opened eight eight and
- 15:32Speaker 1: a half. Now it's a six and a half. That's
- 15:34Speaker 1: a big movement. Well, it could be the goddard news,
- 15:36Speaker 1: but I do think. I do think that. Look, the
- 15:41Speaker 1: Commanders owned the line of scrimmage last night. I mean,
- 15:44Speaker 1: what do they have forty minutes of time of possession?
- 15:47Speaker 1: They Brian Robinson was going five yards before anybody touched him.
- 15:52Speaker 1: But that was the key, though, wasn't It wasn't big breaks, right,
- 15:54Speaker 1: it was he was getting those five yards and all
- 15:56Speaker 1: of a sudden, I don't know what happened, but they
- 15:59Speaker 1: were going what was eleven for twelve or twelve for
- 16:02Speaker 1: thirteen on third downs? Right was hitting his guys and shrides.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It wasn't just the running. It there beating us in
- 16:07Speaker 1: the air too. So it's like there might be major
- 16:09Speaker 1: issues on the Eagles team. That's the pause right now.
- 16:11Speaker 1: That's interesting because I was really I thought about the
- 16:14Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and what I was going to say
- 16:15Speaker 1: is that the Eagles have proven to be a really
- 16:18Speaker 1: good coaching staff, and I felt like there are probably
- 16:23Speaker 1: some adjustments to be made week to week that they
- 16:26Speaker 1: didn't make in game that would allow them to account
- 16:30Speaker 1: for the loss of Jordan Davis, which is why I
- 16:33Speaker 1: would feel comfortable. But at the end of the day,
- 16:36Speaker 1: I'm just getting a much better team at less than
- 16:38Speaker 1: a touchdown like that. To me, everything else goes away if, if,
- 16:43Speaker 1: and if I lose this bet. I'm not saying we
- 16:45Speaker 1: have to put in the contest, but it tells me
- 16:47Speaker 1: a lot more about where the Eagles are then where
- 16:50Speaker 1: we thought they were if they end up performing poorly
- 16:54Speaker 1: against the Colton. I do think if the Eagles don't
- 16:56Speaker 1: perform well, it changes sort of the scale and context
- 17:00Speaker 1: of the NFC against what we thought it might be. Yeah,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I would just say it's all about health and then
- 17:06Speaker 1: the injury bug where it's like I think the Tampa
- 17:09Speaker 1: is three and five whatever it was two exting. I
- 17:11Speaker 1: told you I still had them in my power because
- 17:13Speaker 1: the number one team i'd fear in the playoffs not
- 17:16Speaker 1: the Eagles, not the Vikings, not the Cowboys, at the Giants.
- 17:20Speaker 1: And it's a simple fact of when things get tight,
- 17:23Speaker 1: these young, inexperienced quarterbacks, they don't perform. And again that's
- 17:26Speaker 1: where I trust a guy like Tom Brady and those
- 17:29Speaker 1: teams where yeah, it wasn't on all Hurts last night,
- 17:32Speaker 1: but we saw Hurts needed to do a two minute
- 17:35Speaker 1: drill to have his team win. He went three and out,
- 17:37Speaker 1: Like we can't complain all you want about them punting
- 17:40Speaker 1: and the BS called by the ref end of the game,
- 17:43Speaker 1: but it's like Hurts had his chance, he went three
- 17:45Speaker 1: and out, they had to punt. It's it's kind of
- 17:47Speaker 1: these things where it's like, do I really think Bray
- 17:50Speaker 1: is gonna win the Super Bowl this year? No, but
- 17:52Speaker 1: it's just I know the playoffs came, even though even
- 17:54Speaker 1: when they were three and five, it's like, that's the
- 17:56Speaker 1: scary moment of it's tom first, all these inexperienced quarterbacks
- 17:59Speaker 1: and the nf see where it's like wide open, even
- 18:02Speaker 1: you today, we're talking about you, like the fourty nine ers.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Jimmy g is not good. He is not a good
- 18:06Speaker 1: quarterback right now. He's got major issues. But that's how
- 18:09Speaker 1: open the NFC is, where it's like, well, on paper,
- 18:12Speaker 1: the fort Has are probably the best team all all around.
- 18:15Speaker 1: It's like if they're healthy, they'll be the they'll probably
- 18:18Speaker 1: be the favorite. Where the Eagles right now, again it's
- 18:21Speaker 1: not a big deal. They just they lost Jordan Davis.
- 18:23Speaker 1: They lost Maddox, which is our U cornerback. That's very
- 18:26Speaker 1: for this team. And A. J. Brown wrote his ankle
- 18:29Speaker 1: so it's like, okay, if they might be down a J.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Brown as well as and got her even again, that
- 18:35Speaker 1: might start pushing me more towards this Courts Colts team
- 18:37Speaker 1: where it's like that's major injuries on this Eagle's offense.
- 18:41Speaker 1: The Cooper coupless Los Angeles Rams are visiting the New
- 18:46Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. The Saints are four point favorites right now.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Saints are kind of crap too right now, and they've
- 18:53Speaker 1: got some quarterback issues that they're trying to work out.
- 18:56Speaker 1: They're kind of becoming the team we thought they would
- 18:58Speaker 1: be kind of a middling, mediocre or no personality team.
- 19:02Speaker 1: It's kind of a past for me this game. I
- 19:04Speaker 1: don't have strong feelings on it. Yeah, I would have
- 19:07Speaker 1: loved that still in New Orleans at three, that was
- 19:09Speaker 1: a great number. Um, it's growing because again Stafford's not back,
- 19:13Speaker 1: he's still in a concussion protocol. Cooper cups now done
- 19:16Speaker 1: for at least four weeks. I love the take New
- 19:19Speaker 1: Orleans here, honestly, like this is a good matchup for them.
- 19:21Speaker 1: They can run the ball. The Rams offensive lines and
- 19:25Speaker 1: tatters like they just have a bunch of injuries. That
- 19:27Speaker 1: offensive line just a good matchup for a Saint team.
- 19:30Speaker 1: But I feel like Chad just talked about, it's like
- 19:32Speaker 1: just two really bad teams. It's it's it's hard to
- 19:34Speaker 1: get behind it. But I feel like the Saints on
- 19:36Speaker 1: the right side here, and as much you'd love to
- 19:38Speaker 1: be like, well, maybe they'll just tank. Their first round
- 19:41Speaker 1: pick is the Eagles. They traded that they traded up
- 19:43Speaker 1: to get the receiver they took last year. So the
- 19:46Speaker 1: Eagles right now the fourth pick overall thanks to the Saints.
- 19:49Speaker 1: They're not trying to tank. This head coach is not
- 19:50Speaker 1: gonna try to tank, the general managers not gonna try
- 19:52Speaker 1: to tank. So you see them playing hard, playing in
- 19:54Speaker 1: this game against a Rams team that they just seem
- 19:57Speaker 1: lost as we sit here on Tuesday, Like everything I've read,
- 20:00Speaker 1: it's just bad and negative. And again Stafford still in
- 20:03Speaker 1: concussion protocol on Tuesday. That's that's a big deal. Well,
- 20:06Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna put it on the list
- 20:07Speaker 1: for now. Again, if this got to five or four
- 20:11Speaker 1: and a half in the contest, I don't think i'd
- 20:13Speaker 1: play it. But a four, three and a half, three,
- 20:15Speaker 1: that's that's great value. Chicago Bears, who broke our hearts
- 20:18Speaker 1: this weekend. Look Justin Fields again, just electric. When I
- 20:23Speaker 1: think about Justin Fields, I was thinking about it this weekend.
- 20:26Speaker 1: I think about Justin Altuh, Josh Allen and his career progression.
- 20:32Speaker 1: He was all athletes. The first couple of years they
- 20:36Speaker 1: got Stefon Diggs, he became more accurate. I think Justin
- 20:40Speaker 1: Fields next year like that is the path of progression
- 20:45Speaker 1: he's on. Maybe I'm too excited about it. Maybe I'm
- 20:49Speaker 1: just enthralled with the way he's been playing, the way
- 20:53Speaker 1: he's being used. I will wash away the terrible pass
- 20:57Speaker 1: he made that cost the Bears the game. Chalk up
- 21:00Speaker 1: to again. Still learning, but wow, he looks like he
- 21:05Speaker 1: could beat everybody up on the field again. The Onason,
- 21:09Speaker 1: I think there's a big difference is Um Fields has
- 21:12Speaker 1: been that guy since he was probably sixteen, where Josh
- 21:16Speaker 1: Allens had to earn every little title you' put next
- 21:19Speaker 1: to his name. Again, he was sending tapes to every
- 21:22Speaker 1: d one school. I believe why Owen is the only
- 21:24Speaker 1: one that was replied to the kid. And even when
- 21:27Speaker 1: he was at y M, I think he ended up
- 21:28Speaker 1: staying right for senior Matt Mitchell, no better for me.
- 21:31Speaker 1: He didn't even do that well, right, it was just
- 21:33Speaker 1: the body type, the athleticism. We're justin fields. He had
- 21:36Speaker 1: the arm in college. I mean, hell, I remember watching
- 21:39Speaker 1: my high stand like this kid is the real deal.
- 21:41Speaker 1: You can go back and listen. Me and Chad couldn't
- 21:43Speaker 1: understand why he wasn't number two pick overall. We had
- 21:45Speaker 1: him right behind Trevor Lawrence. Again, we didn't know Zack
- 21:48Speaker 1: Wilson was gonna be this bad, but it was just
- 21:51Speaker 1: like the upside of fields and Trey Lance to me,
- 21:54Speaker 1: was so much higher than Zack Wilson's. It just didn't
- 21:56Speaker 1: make sense to me. And I would love to back
- 21:59Speaker 1: him here, but it just can't keep happening. Like this
- 22:02Speaker 1: is he's on a historical pace right now, Like he's
- 22:04Speaker 1: had back to back weeks of just insane running. Like
- 22:09Speaker 1: what do you get last week? I was a hundred
- 22:10Speaker 1: sixty three and then like it's just a week before
- 22:17Speaker 1: so so again we can ballpark and say he's averaging
- 22:20Speaker 1: over a hundred fifty yards per game last two weeks running. Um,
- 22:24Speaker 1: there has to be some point of regression there. But
- 22:28Speaker 1: I saw last week the Lions were doing a double
- 22:30Speaker 1: spy on him. They had two different guys spying him
- 22:33Speaker 1: on each side of the field, and it didn't matter
- 22:35Speaker 1: when plays broke down, he could find those alleys. He's
- 22:38Speaker 1: so quick, like he goes through those holes so fast.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So I would love to sit here and say Bears
- 22:43Speaker 1: auto play a plus three and a half. But the
- 22:46Speaker 1: right play is to take at landing here against the
- 22:48Speaker 1: Bears team that, yeah, they're performing incredibly, but an Atlanta
- 22:53Speaker 1: team that they do exactly what the Bears don't want
- 22:55Speaker 1: to do. This. There's gonna be some high flying, high
- 22:57Speaker 1: scoring kind of game. This is gonna be a slow,
- 23:00Speaker 1: dragged out, muddy the waters kind of game, which is
- 23:03Speaker 1: what Atlanta likes to play. And the fact that the
- 23:06Speaker 1: last time anyone saw Atlanta play, what was the final score, fifteen,
- 23:10Speaker 1: they got absolutely blown out by Carolina. I just know
- 23:14Speaker 1: the Bears will be the most public side this week,
- 23:16Speaker 1: So I understand it. I understand why people are gonna
- 23:18Speaker 1: take the three, But to me, this is number is
- 23:20Speaker 1: probably closer to a four four and a half than three.
- 23:23Speaker 1: So it kind of it sticks from the get go,
- 23:25Speaker 1: like the books are kind of landing a little bit
- 23:26Speaker 1: of a trap here, Um, let's see what the public
- 23:28Speaker 1: does with it. But got instincts. Again, I haven't bet
- 23:31Speaker 1: this yet. I would take Atlanta. This feels like a
- 23:32Speaker 1: good number. It's so tricky because this Falcons team can
- 23:39Speaker 1: really run the ball and this Bears team cannot stop
- 23:43Speaker 1: the run and not stop anybody. You just look in
- 23:47Speaker 1: the trenches like you're not trying to look at the
- 23:49Speaker 1: fields and the quarterback. It's literally the lines here like
- 23:53Speaker 1: it's a big discrepancy in both lines. It is where
- 23:55Speaker 1: you get a little bit blinded by Justin fields because
- 23:59Speaker 1: again my right away I was like, oh, justin fields
- 24:01Speaker 1: at a plus number, thank you, but it's a little fishy. Again,
- 24:05Speaker 1: this line was a pick um and they've moved it.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Awful lot of professional action commanders after a huge money
- 24:14Speaker 1: night game visiting the Texans, this line is three. Let
- 24:20Speaker 1: me make sure I have it correct from FANDUL right now,
- 24:24Speaker 1: because it's bouncing all over the place plus three and
- 24:27Speaker 1: a half. We both got strong opinions on this game. Well,
- 24:30Speaker 1: I figure about to make your executive decision. I am
- 24:33Speaker 1: gonna make my exact decision right now on the Houston
- 24:35Speaker 1: Texas at plus three and a half. The choice between
- 24:39Speaker 1: the unthinkable and the impossible. Executive decision this. This does
- 24:47Speaker 1: feel like a no brainer. Me and Chat and five
- 24:50Speaker 1: other people will be on Houston kicking myself. We knew,
- 24:54Speaker 1: we knew to be on the Colts last week. That's
- 24:56Speaker 1: how me and Chad make our good money. It's like,
- 24:59Speaker 1: you take these ugly dogs that everyone's shipping on all
- 25:01Speaker 1: week and everyone hates, and hell a might burn us
- 25:04Speaker 1: here with Houston, we have we have no choice here,
- 25:07Speaker 1: especially once they hit three and a half. I'll be
- 25:10Speaker 1: the sucker. Suck me in sports books. I will take
- 25:12Speaker 1: the three and a half. I'll be that sucker. But
- 25:14Speaker 1: you have to take this number. A home dog here
- 25:17Speaker 1: against a team that just won in prime time and
- 25:19Speaker 1: a divisional game. Chad just said they're a double digit
- 25:22Speaker 1: dog again. You'll see the trends that come out this week,
- 25:25Speaker 1: teams that are double digit dogs that are going on
- 25:27Speaker 1: the road as a favorite the following week. No boy, no,
- 25:31Speaker 1: So I'm I'm loving where Chad's heads at. Um. That's
- 25:35Speaker 1: why he's offering up to me. But it's just a
- 25:37Speaker 1: play that so as I saw the line game, I said, well, me,
- 25:40Speaker 1: chatter gonna look like idiots or really smart people in
- 25:43Speaker 1: like the Green Bay game. It's just you're playing the
- 25:45Speaker 1: number here. You can't look at the teams. Gotta just
- 25:48Speaker 1: look at the number and see that this is an
- 25:50Speaker 1: inflated line. She'd be closer to a pick. Three and
- 25:53Speaker 1: a half is a gift. I am so frustrated that
- 25:58Speaker 1: I betted at three, because when we looked at the
- 26:01Speaker 1: lines this morning, there were threes and there were two
- 26:04Speaker 1: and a half, and it looked like it was trending
- 26:08Speaker 1: towards two and a half. Literally an hour later. I
- 26:11Speaker 1: don't know what happened. I think people started waking up
- 26:14Speaker 1: on the West coast and after watching the Commanders last
- 26:18Speaker 1: night and just piling in on Washington, and this game
- 26:22Speaker 1: went up to three and a half. UM. But as
- 26:24Speaker 1: you say, we're hooked by the half three and a half.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Give it to me. This is the bylow cell high.
- 26:32Speaker 1: This is the bet the perception. I can tell you
- 26:35Speaker 1: that according to our luck rankings last week, the Texans
- 26:38Speaker 1: were the most unlucky team in the NFL. And by
- 26:42Speaker 1: the way, you could argue that Washington one of the
- 26:44Speaker 1: luckier teams between the refs, between the Eagles unlikely turnovers. Um. Really,
- 26:53Speaker 1: there were some plays where the Commanders could have easily
- 26:56Speaker 1: lost that game and things went right for them. Texas
- 26:59Speaker 1: had two red turnovers to red z own possessions that
- 27:02Speaker 1: turned into field goals instead of touchdowns. Um, you know,
- 27:08Speaker 1: I got it. People are gonna be like, well, the
- 27:10Speaker 1: technically just stink. We agree they're awful, but there's always
- 27:14Speaker 1: an overcorruption to these lines. They're not gonna not win
- 27:17Speaker 1: and cover every game. They're just the books aren't giving
- 27:19Speaker 1: a free money here. So again we had to take
- 27:21Speaker 1: a position when we think of lines inflated. This is
- 27:23Speaker 1: one of those games. We didn't buy the Houston last week. Right,
- 27:26Speaker 1: A lot of professionals are on Houston. I got the Giants.
- 27:29Speaker 1: I just thought it was a short number. This is inflated.
- 27:31Speaker 1: This is a good number for Houston. Lad we love
- 27:34Speaker 1: the Texans so much. The Jets on the road at
- 27:38Speaker 1: the Patriots. Patriots are three point favorites. Simon on Green
- 27:44Speaker 1: Dot Daily this morning, you made an incredible point about
- 27:47Speaker 1: the Patriots in this line compared to what it was
- 27:50Speaker 1: two weeks ago. I want you to do it here.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I want this to be our foxhold chat Foxhole. Let's
- 28:00Speaker 1: clide down into the foxhole. Last week it was uncomfortable.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Oh now two weeks coming back. It was uncomfortable. It's
- 28:09Speaker 1: not fun in the foxhole. This week should give you
- 28:12Speaker 1: a little more relief. It's not as gross, it's not
- 28:14Speaker 1: as gross usually is, but the public is coming on
- 28:17Speaker 1: the Jets. That's why I feel like it needs to
- 28:19Speaker 1: be a foxhole game where it's like people are drinking
- 28:21Speaker 1: the cool the they're coming in on the Jets, They're
- 28:23Speaker 1: coming in on You know, Mac is broken, this Patriots
- 28:27Speaker 1: team is, offense is broken. The Jets team is ascending.
- 28:31Speaker 1: But you just talked about it. We talked on Green
- 28:33Speaker 1: Dot Daily. My my favorite thing about this game is
- 28:37Speaker 1: not even two or I guess it's coming up on
- 28:39Speaker 1: three weeks, but it is two weeks pretty much. I'll go.
- 28:41Speaker 1: The Patriots came here to New Jersey, they played the Jets,
- 28:44Speaker 1: and the Jets huns state young. That line was minus three.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Patriots won that game. Okay, next week Buffalo comes to
- 28:52Speaker 1: New Jersey, they play the Jets. They lose. Right, everyone
- 28:56Speaker 1: in the world was all over the Bills. Professionals run
- 28:58Speaker 1: the Jets. But the Jets in that game out right
- 29:00Speaker 1: against the Bills. Going to a bye week. Come out
- 29:03Speaker 1: of the the bye week, now they're up, going up to
- 29:04Speaker 1: New England and the line is only plus three. That's
- 29:08Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense, right. Why would the line not
- 29:11Speaker 1: change at all when one team was on the road,
- 29:13Speaker 1: now at home. It's a simple fact that public likes
- 29:16Speaker 1: the Jets now and again, I'm looking at the app
- 29:18Speaker 1: right now, that's where the tickets are. All the people
- 29:21Speaker 1: are betting the Jets are taking them in their teasers.
- 29:24Speaker 1: This is the Patriots team that you wanted back against
- 29:26Speaker 1: the Jets team. Historically they dominate and I'm gonna have
- 29:29Speaker 1: a bye week again. I love with the Jets of
- 29:31Speaker 1: Downe I love their defense and everything about it. The
- 29:34Speaker 1: Patriots aren't a high thrown team, and to me, that's
- 29:36Speaker 1: that's the Jets bread and butter teams. I need to
- 29:39Speaker 1: throw the ball against them again. They have arguably two
- 29:42Speaker 1: of the best corners of football right now. Sauce just
- 29:45Speaker 1: a rookie, but he's a shutdown corner in this league
- 29:47Speaker 1: as we stand here. But I guess the run. You
- 29:49Speaker 1: can't move the ball against the Jets team, and that's
- 29:51Speaker 1: how they beat them last time they played each other.
- 29:53Speaker 1: So to me, this line is probably more minus five
- 29:57Speaker 1: minus four and a half. But again, they upset the
- 30:00Speaker 1: Bills that was a big deal the last time people
- 30:02Speaker 1: saw this Jets team play. So they're looking at this saying, well,
- 30:06Speaker 1: plus three in a divisional game against a Patriot teams,
- 30:08Speaker 1: it's not that good. I'll trust it. I'll just back
- 30:11Speaker 1: to defense here where I like it. The other way,
- 30:13Speaker 1: it's like, man, I'm getting three points here for a
- 30:15Speaker 1: Patriots team that knows exactly who they are. They don't
- 30:18Speaker 1: have an injury to their number one running back, their
- 30:20Speaker 1: number on running back is healthy, and he's coming out
- 30:22Speaker 1: of a bye. I just love this matchup and the
- 30:25Speaker 1: perception of what people think of this Jets team right now.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So I think we're getting free value on this Patriots team.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Do we think this Linel moved to two and a
- 30:32Speaker 1: half with all the tickets coming in on the Jets. No,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I think it's gonna go three and a half. Like
- 30:36Speaker 1: I already know a really smart group that hit this
- 30:38Speaker 1: um and they had a book go up to three
- 30:41Speaker 1: and a half already, So to me, this one, this
- 30:43Speaker 1: one will only go up. You know it could be wrong,
- 30:45Speaker 1: you never know, UM, But now, as a professional, I
- 30:49Speaker 1: just I just don't know why pros would come in
- 30:51Speaker 1: and bet the Jets here unless they know something the
- 30:53Speaker 1: public doesn't know. But to me, this is just a
- 30:55Speaker 1: bad matchup for the Jets. I don't disagree, you know,
- 30:59Speaker 1: it's a it's like such a short line. Your point
- 31:02Speaker 1: about the math and the spread is so good that
- 31:06Speaker 1: not not that none of has changed in the past
- 31:08Speaker 1: two weeks. And then the Jets beating the Bills. That's
- 31:11Speaker 1: really it. Public perception, perception, Lions on the road at
- 31:16Speaker 1: the Giants, Giants or three point favorites. This is an
- 31:19Speaker 1: interesting one to me only because I don't trust the Giants. Yeah,
- 31:25Speaker 1: and I've lost a lot of faith in the Lions,
- 31:27Speaker 1: So like I'm betwixt in between. I feel like I'm
- 31:31Speaker 1: getting sucked in the Lions. Guy couldn't believe the game
- 31:34Speaker 1: golf had against that barriers defense. But I had to
- 31:36Speaker 1: pull myself back and be like, it is the Bears defense, right,
- 31:40Speaker 1: Like that's what I keep reminding myself for it feels
- 31:42Speaker 1: like anyone really can move the ball against this barriers defense.
- 31:45Speaker 1: So yeah, I love the fade the Giants. Um, There's
- 31:51Speaker 1: just there's there's certain games they they're supposed to drop, right,
- 31:54Speaker 1: and this is one of those games. It's like, you know,
- 31:57Speaker 1: this is a lull in their season. They're begging Houston
- 31:59Speaker 1: to steal the game in Houston just could simply not
- 32:01Speaker 1: do it. This is like another game where I would
- 32:05Speaker 1: love to fade Detroit here. I'll wait, hope that gets
- 32:09Speaker 1: back to three and a half. You can grab the
- 32:10Speaker 1: three and a half. Grab Detroit, because again I don't
- 32:12Speaker 1: have This won't be one of my bigger bets because
- 32:14Speaker 1: I just I can't get it right with this giantstea eve.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Though I did get it right last week, it's I
- 32:18Speaker 1: don't think I feel like I didn't deserve to cover
- 32:20Speaker 1: last week, like I got got a little lucky there
- 32:23Speaker 1: where you know Detroit. This week we'll have to see
- 32:27Speaker 1: how's the luik goes along here. But if it stays
- 32:30Speaker 1: at three, I just won't touch it. But three and
- 32:32Speaker 1: a half I would take Detroit. They are a mercurial
- 32:39Speaker 1: team against the mercurial team. I'd almost rather like to
- 32:42Speaker 1: watch Brian Dable and Dan Campbell try to out inspire
- 32:46Speaker 1: each other. They're gonna say fist fight. I would love
- 32:48Speaker 1: to see a fist flight between those guys. I would
- 32:50Speaker 1: like to see that too, but it really least like
- 32:53Speaker 1: see them try to rally their troops. Rabel will probably
- 32:56Speaker 1: up there. I was thinking manly as coaches we got
- 32:58Speaker 1: those two are up there though. Well, Campbell for sure
- 33:02Speaker 1: more manly than Brabel. Well, I don't think he said
- 33:05Speaker 1: he cut his dick off for Super Bowl, Chad, you
- 33:06Speaker 1: know that right? What's that Rabel? He said he'd cut
- 33:09Speaker 1: his dick off to win a super Bowl? Number one? Okay,
- 33:13Speaker 1: good question, though, it's a good question, like looking through
- 33:16Speaker 1: it like Titans, Packers, Rabel, Eagles, Colts, like Sirianni. He's
- 33:22Speaker 1: not a tough guy, but he's a cool guy. Ram Saints,
- 33:26Speaker 1: no Seriana. Seems like the kind of guy. His nose
- 33:28Speaker 1: is always running in the winter, Like you know, you
- 33:30Speaker 1: had that kid in class. You always had the running nose.
- 33:32Speaker 1: That's that's serial Bears, Falcons, no Commander's Texans. I don't know.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Ron Rivera is kind of a badass. I think um Jets, Patriots,
- 33:42Speaker 1: come on, Lions, Giants. That's interesting, Dan Campbell, Panthers, Ravens,
- 33:48Speaker 1: no Brown's Bills, no Raiders, Broncos, no Bengal Steelers. Tomlin, True,
- 33:56Speaker 1: how did I forget about Tomlin? Yeah, he would just
- 33:58Speaker 1: give you one stare. Try to keep it real. Simple,
- 34:01Speaker 1: football is a game. Business is winning. Yeah, I think
- 34:06Speaker 1: I think it's a Tomlin Vrabel Campbell. Yeah, that's what
- 34:10Speaker 1: I would think. Alright, getting back to it, your Panthers
- 34:13Speaker 1: on the road, Baker Mayfield plus twelve against the Ravens.
- 34:17Speaker 1: That's too many points. Damn it, Chad. I'm not letting it.
- 34:20Speaker 1: I'm not letting you do it to us, all right.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I'm not putting in a Baker and the Panthers into
- 34:24Speaker 1: our contest, no matter what, putting the contest. But I
- 34:27Speaker 1: do think, Look, this is already a massive pros Joe's game.
- 34:31Speaker 1: We got six percent of the tickets on the Ravens
- 34:33Speaker 1: sent of the money on the Panthers, Like we are
- 34:38Speaker 1: betting the Panthers in this game. I probably won't join you.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I got one too. I just Baker is so bad,
- 34:45Speaker 1: like I throwing on his tape even when he was
- 34:48Speaker 1: at the Browns. I blamed on injuries, so I gave
- 34:50Speaker 1: him a little bit of benefit of the doubt. He's
- 34:52Speaker 1: just bad. He cannot read defenses, like at least p
- 34:55Speaker 1: J could make simply two to three reads a game,
- 34:58Speaker 1: which doesn't sound like much, but that's a big deal.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Like you can't always just go to your number one receiver.
- 35:03Speaker 1: So yeah, Chad's right, it's probably the right time to
- 35:06Speaker 1: take them. But I'll just be a coward. I'll probably
- 35:09Speaker 1: up just doing Ravens first half or something. Um. I
- 35:12Speaker 1: just I got no feel for the Panthers when it's Baker. Um,
- 35:15Speaker 1: but I would have loved it it was PJ. But Baker. No,
- 35:19Speaker 1: I'm out, Simon Hunter, professional coward? Are you so scared?
- 35:24Speaker 1: Simon so scared? Pathetic? Sad? You know Mike Vrabel Rabel
- 35:31Speaker 1: would do it all right, Well, we're not gonna put
- 35:33Speaker 1: in the contest. I'm gonna bet it. The NBA season

- 37:37Speaker 1: Brown's on the road at the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo
- 37:41Speaker 1: Bills eight and a half point favorites. I won't make
- 37:44Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell relive this past rate because that was like
- 37:49Speaker 1: to not only have it happened, but to everyone's still
- 37:51Speaker 1: be talking about it is the game of the year.
- 37:53Speaker 1: It was. You can't even turn on the television if
- 37:56Speaker 1: you're a sports fan and the Bills fan. Again, the
- 37:58Speaker 1: worst part of that Bills game, I think for those
- 38:00Speaker 1: fans was just the fact that they want to lost
- 38:02Speaker 1: it like ten times, and those are the worst games
- 38:05Speaker 1: of experience. You keep winning games and losing It's the
- 38:08Speaker 1: same game over and over again. I don't know what's
- 38:10Speaker 1: wrong with Josh like that, that game kind of falls
- 38:13Speaker 1: on his shoulders there. Those turnovers, they're a real problem
- 38:16Speaker 1: right now, Like he's on pace to add more turnovers
- 38:17Speaker 1: and he's ever had in his career. It's not like
- 38:20Speaker 1: Josh to be throwing these these just reckless interceptions. I
- 38:23Speaker 1: mean that final one, how do you shore? How do
- 38:25Speaker 1: you short on that one? Like again, your legs were working.
- 38:28Speaker 1: It's just Josh has these little moments, these decisions that's
- 38:31Speaker 1: just not like him. Where last year he just rarely
- 38:35Speaker 1: put himself in positions to turn the ball over where
- 38:37Speaker 1: it feels like this year's he's more confident his arm,
- 38:40Speaker 1: taking bigger risk and it's just not been working for him.
- 38:43Speaker 1: So in a game that we're expecting a ship ton
- 38:45Speaker 1: of snow and bad weather, I'll take the running team
- 38:48Speaker 1: and Nick Chubb. It's just what the hell am I
- 38:50Speaker 1: supposed to do here? I gotta take the plus eight.
- 38:52Speaker 1: I hate it, like I want to back the Bills
- 38:54Speaker 1: after such a bad loss like this is usually when
- 38:56Speaker 1: they killed teams. But something, something seems all about Josh Allen.
- 39:01Speaker 1: They've had three straight games now where they haven't scored
- 39:04Speaker 1: a touchdown the second half. That's not like Josh Allen,
- 39:07Speaker 1: this offense that usually make adjustments and they're more dominant
- 39:10Speaker 1: in the second half in his career. It's not been
- 39:12Speaker 1: that way this year. So eight and a half, eight points,
- 39:16Speaker 1: I'd grab it now just in case it really do
- 39:17Speaker 1: get five ft of snow up there and it's freezing cold,
- 39:20Speaker 1: and this is kind of the best game you can
- 39:22Speaker 1: imagine for a running team like the Cleveland Browns have.
- 39:24Speaker 1: But if its turns out to be alright weather, I
- 39:27Speaker 1: will shift the other side because we just saw this
- 39:30Speaker 1: Cleveland team again some past happy team. They couldn't stop
- 39:33Speaker 1: anything on offense that the Miami team was running at them. So, UM,
- 39:38Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what the what the final info
- 39:42Speaker 1: is on what the weather system supposed to because again
- 39:44Speaker 1: it's what they're they're calling for, like fift of snow
- 39:46Speaker 1: like it, it's supposed to be insane, um this Sunday
- 39:49Speaker 1: for this game, So just get ahead of it. I
- 39:53Speaker 1: gotta know, is you're grabbing just like the Vikings last week.
- 39:55Speaker 1: I have no issue grabbing the number now. You want
- 39:57Speaker 1: to buy a position later on you can. I grabbed
- 40:00Speaker 1: the and I grabbed the eight and a half just
- 40:02Speaker 1: to be sick because they do see it coming down.
- 40:04Speaker 1: If it is what they're saying it's gonna be, which
- 40:05Speaker 1: is really bad weather. I'm not afraid of that. We
- 40:08Speaker 1: got suckered in on the Browns last week, but I
- 40:11Speaker 1: think the fundamentals still apply. Maybe we're miss judging the Dolphins,
- 40:16Speaker 1: maybe we're miss judging what it's like to play the
- 40:18Speaker 1: Dolphins in Florida. But this running game for the Browns
- 40:22Speaker 1: is so attractive. No pressure from the Browns. I should
- 40:25Speaker 1: have said that the Browns had no pressure. Like Myles
- 40:27Speaker 1: Garrett if he's not getting home on toa again, you
- 40:29Speaker 1: can watch that game. There's just it's over like you
- 40:31Speaker 1: can't if you're not getting pressure, it's over right. So
- 40:34Speaker 1: that was the only thing I'd throw in where it's
- 40:35Speaker 1: like that Miami thing. I definitely got it wrong, but
- 40:39Speaker 1: I thought I had a huge advantage where that Brown's
- 40:41Speaker 1: D line. They did not show up run blocking, pass rushing,
- 40:45Speaker 1: any of it. That that was truly embarrassing. The Raiders
- 40:50Speaker 1: are visiting the Denver Broncos and it looks like the
- 40:53Speaker 1: Broncos are very short home favorites about two and a half.
- 40:58Speaker 1: It's a great stat if the Bronco's offense. Ye could
- 41:02Speaker 1: have been scoring eighteen points again, eighteen points in every
- 41:05Speaker 1: one of their games this year. Eighteen points. They'd be
- 41:09Speaker 1: what is it? Yeah? I saw that too, I know.
- 41:16Speaker 1: I mean, I know a guy who picked them to
- 41:18Speaker 1: be the one seed this year. So I couldn't imagine
- 41:20Speaker 1: being that guy. It's it's it's tough. That wasn't me,
- 41:25Speaker 1: wasn't it was just looking at this raven I mean
- 41:29Speaker 1: not Ravens, this Raiders team. I want to fade him.
- 41:32Speaker 1: You got a QB crying at the podium. You got
- 41:35Speaker 1: a head coach that says he's heard nothing about in subordination,
- 41:39Speaker 1: and guys not wanting to be there. Um train wreck,
- 41:44Speaker 1: just an absolute train wreck. And I have to take
- 41:48Speaker 1: the Raiders here. No one's gonna join me. I completely
- 41:51Speaker 1: get it. I just have to do it in this
- 41:53Speaker 1: divisional game. Like I'm hoping it gets back to three.
- 41:55Speaker 1: That'd be amazing. I know the Raiders can score as
- 41:59Speaker 1: bad as they are. At least I know they'll be
- 42:02Speaker 1: able to score. I have no idea. What Like Denver
- 42:04Speaker 1: had a whole bye week to work it out. They
- 42:07Speaker 1: put up ten points. They looked so lost. I mean
- 42:09Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just bad sack after bad sack after bad
- 42:13Speaker 1: sack in that Tennessee game, And it was real to
- 42:15Speaker 1: where I just kept getting sucked in because I think
- 42:17Speaker 1: it was ten seven and a half and whatever, they
- 42:21Speaker 1: were down fourteen to ten. I'm like, Okay, they'll drive now,
- 42:23Speaker 1: they'll get down the field now, and it just never happened.
- 42:25Speaker 1: There's just something wrong with that coaching staff and Russell
- 42:28Speaker 1: Wilson just whatever is happening there. So yeah, I like
- 42:32Speaker 1: the Raiders. Would I put in our contest at two
- 42:34Speaker 1: and a half? Hell now? But if they're nice enough
- 42:37Speaker 1: to give us a three or three and a half,
- 42:38Speaker 1: I think might commenced chat because again, this is a
- 42:40Speaker 1: field goal game in a divisional game to bottom the
- 42:43Speaker 1: barrel teams, both very desperate teams. I love the dog
- 42:47Speaker 1: in these kind of games. So give me. Give me
- 42:49Speaker 1: that three and a half. Sports Books, that two and
- 42:51Speaker 1: a half is terrible. Yeah, that number Bengals this came
- 42:55Speaker 1: is so interesting to me. Really, Bengals five favorites on
- 43:01Speaker 1: the road at the Steelers. Look, Steelers, we nailed it
- 43:07Speaker 1: last week. We loved it. We put him in the
- 43:09Speaker 1: money line around Robin We loved it. It It three, We
- 43:12Speaker 1: loved it one and a half. T J Watt coming back,
- 43:15Speaker 1: can you pick it? You know, two weeks to finally
- 43:18Speaker 1: play and finally practice with the first team. He's a gamer.
- 43:23Speaker 1: I love the kid. The stars aligned for the Steelers
- 43:28Speaker 1: as home underdogs. I'm less confident against the Bengals. Yeah,
- 43:33Speaker 1: and it's again it's people always like, oh, your professionals
- 43:36Speaker 1: were dead wrong about whatever was Denver last week, and
- 43:39Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you got I mean, like, they lost
- 43:41Speaker 1: seven figures on that one, but they got it back
- 43:43Speaker 1: easily on that Pittsburgh game. They were all over that one.
- 43:45Speaker 1: They took that number from two two and a half
- 43:48Speaker 1: all the way to minus one, minus two by kickoff. Like,
- 43:51Speaker 1: no one's perfect here, but there's always a balance to this,
- 43:54Speaker 1: And I'm with you, chat. My gut instinct was, now
- 43:58Speaker 1: you take the Pittsburgh and this the visional game at
- 44:00Speaker 1: home Mike Tomblin's spot. But is it really is it
- 44:05Speaker 1: really a spot where it's like they're probably feeling pretty
- 44:07Speaker 1: good after really dominating that game against the Saints and
- 44:11Speaker 1: the Bengals. I don't know. I look at this team
- 44:14Speaker 1: as not desperate, but a little bit like looking at
- 44:18Speaker 1: the a f C. The landscape of things. The division
- 44:21Speaker 1: is getting away from a little bit, and so are
- 44:23Speaker 1: the other other seeds to get into the playoffs. So
- 44:26Speaker 1: it's a team that kind of has a fire letar
- 44:27Speaker 1: to their ass. I feel like the Bengals is gonna
- 44:29Speaker 1: be up there right now. So, um, I would love
- 44:32Speaker 1: a four, four and a half. It's sitting a five,
- 44:34Speaker 1: wouldn't wouldn't grab it yet again at worst, I worst,
- 44:37Speaker 1: I see getting up to a six. But if anything,
- 44:39Speaker 1: I see it coming down a little back. I could
- 44:40Speaker 1: see the public and some pros ben Pittsburgh here. Um again,
- 44:44Speaker 1: we'll be able to get better value. But wait, wait
- 44:47Speaker 1: on this one to get another in your report game,
- 44:48Speaker 1: we need to see how Cincinnati is coming out of
- 44:50Speaker 1: the bye week because they've had some major issues. Chase
- 44:53Speaker 1: is still out. I've read multiple beat writers he's out
- 44:57Speaker 1: for about four weeks at least, right so that would
- 45:00Speaker 1: be this would be in that window. Yeah, I think
- 45:03Speaker 1: this is number game number three frame or week number three,
- 45:05Speaker 1: so he won't be back. What we're waiting on his
- 45:08Speaker 1: defensive side. We want to see what defenders they're getting
- 45:10Speaker 1: back for since so wait and see on this one.
- 45:12Speaker 1: Don't bet the ship, alright, So we got a Pats
- 45:16Speaker 1: minus three as the foxhole. We got a Texans plus
- 45:20Speaker 1: three and a half is my executive decision. We still
- 45:23Speaker 1: owe a Simon says, and we are landing upon the
- 45:27Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys visiting the Minnesota Vikings as very short one
- 45:33Speaker 1: point road favorites. Simon, what say you, time says take
- 45:40Speaker 1: Dimon says, we do what says Cowboys, no brainer. When
- 45:49Speaker 1: the lines come out, there's just certain games you kneel
- 45:51Speaker 1: right away you're gonna probably end up being on. This
- 45:54Speaker 1: is one of those where, even like two weeks ago,
- 45:56Speaker 1: and I saw the line for this, not that I
- 45:59Speaker 1: knew that Dallas is gonna lose that game against Green Bay,
- 46:01Speaker 1: but I knew they weren't gonna cover. For the most part,
- 46:03Speaker 1: I was just thinking, Okay, I can wait. I'll be
- 46:05Speaker 1: able to get a better line on Dallas here. It
- 46:07Speaker 1: was a pick. I was wrong. They went up to
- 46:09Speaker 1: one and a half one um right after that game,
- 46:12Speaker 1: and it went up to two for a little bit.
- 46:14Speaker 1: Got that back down. People came back on the Vikings
- 46:17Speaker 1: sitting a lot of books that minus one minus one
- 46:19Speaker 1: and a half. This is shaping up people on my
- 46:21Speaker 1: bigger bets of the year just public perception bet where
- 46:24Speaker 1: it's a team in I don't know the Cowboys that
- 46:29Speaker 1: I feel like, not that people are talking about THEMBB
- 46:32Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders last week, but they were right. They
- 46:35Speaker 1: were one of the teams putting the upper echelon. Now
- 46:37Speaker 1: after one bad loss to Green Bay, people are off
- 46:40Speaker 1: of it. People are like, no, the seams got issues,
- 46:42Speaker 1: they got holes. Is their defense really that good? They
- 46:44Speaker 1: just got torched by Aaron Rodgers who could barely throw
- 46:47Speaker 1: the ball downfield. Now they're getting Minnesota team that people
- 46:51Speaker 1: view them as being legit now right Like all every
- 46:54Speaker 1: week we kept questioning the Minnesota liking two have they beaten?
- 46:57Speaker 1: Who have they beaten? Who have they beaten? They get
- 47:00Speaker 1: a bumble at the goal line and get a win,
- 47:04Speaker 1: and now they are for real. That's how we're doing
- 47:06Speaker 1: the parameters now. So it's tough, Chad, Like what I do.
- 47:09Speaker 1: It is tough where it's like do I want to
- 47:11Speaker 1: shoot on Vikings team and they're fans right now? No, Like,
- 47:15Speaker 1: you guys are good? What are you you know? Well,
- 47:18Speaker 1: you guys think a top two, top three team in
- 47:21Speaker 1: football right now? Hell no, you guys have major problems,
- 47:25Speaker 1: major issues. Again, Josh Allen put up twenty four points
- 47:29Speaker 1: and you guys in that first half, not by himself,
- 47:31Speaker 1: they're running the ball all over you guys, like you
- 47:34Speaker 1: have major issues on this defensive side. So, um, the
- 47:38Speaker 1: big reason again this week that I'm gonna be on
- 47:41Speaker 1: this Dallas team not just because it's the bounceback spot,
- 47:43Speaker 1: but it's about in the matchup. There's different matchups that
- 47:46Speaker 1: they match up so well against his Vikings team. Again,
- 47:49Speaker 1: if you want to see a play out, you can
- 47:50Speaker 1: go to last year and watch the Cowboys played the
- 47:53Speaker 1: Minnesota Likings nack scenario. They went up to Minnesota, they
- 47:56Speaker 1: played them. The quarterback was Cooper Rush though, so if
- 47:59Speaker 1: you want to see how they scheme it up. The
- 48:01Speaker 1: defensive line has such a huge advantage here for the
- 48:04Speaker 1: Cowboys team, especially if the right now it's looking like
- 48:08Speaker 1: there might be three starting alignment out for the Vikings.
- 48:11Speaker 1: That's a big deal. So again, just going off that
- 48:15Speaker 1: already like the Cowboys, the fact that this has turned
- 48:18Speaker 1: into one of the bigger tickets the bigger public side
- 48:20Speaker 1: as well, Um not not surprising right that that people
- 48:25Speaker 1: are just like coming on Minnesota after what we just
- 48:27Speaker 1: saw them do well again win a huge game. Cowboys
- 48:30Speaker 1: in a in a big game, lost, so not surprising.
- 48:33Speaker 1: I am surprised though, that this number opened uh and
- 48:36Speaker 1: minus one minus one and a half. I thought the books, no,
- 48:39Speaker 1: they would just get the free money on the on
- 48:41Speaker 1: Minnesota and just hanging out of pick. They didn't. They
- 48:44Speaker 1: kind of let the public know that, you know, eight
- 48:45Speaker 1: and one doesn't mean ship to us, like this is
- 48:48Speaker 1: a coin flip game. Throw the records out. The Vikings
- 48:51Speaker 1: are getting the tickets, the Cowboys currently getting seventy one
- 48:57Speaker 1: of the money, so you gotta pick out of that pros.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Joe's right here. Yeah, it's just a spot. Like again,
- 49:06Speaker 1: there's nothing guaranteed. It's just one of these situations. You
- 49:09Speaker 1: just take this number every time. You're just playing the
- 49:13Speaker 1: stronger d line versus the weak offensive line, and a
- 49:16Speaker 1: team coming off the winner of the season versus a
- 49:18Speaker 1: team coming off the loss of the season. It's just
- 49:21Speaker 1: a simple spot like you don't have to think too
- 49:23Speaker 1: much into it. You just blindly take the Cowboys here.
- 49:27Speaker 1: I've blindly taken the Cowboys here, although it wasn't blind
- 49:29Speaker 1: I took him earlier this morning. I love the Cowboys.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Right now, we're we're developing a list of games we
- 49:34Speaker 1: feel pretty confident about. I feel good this week. Yeah,
- 49:38Speaker 1: Texans three and a half Pats minus three, Cowboys minus one,
- 49:41Speaker 1: Chiefs on the road at the Los Angeles Chargers. I
- 49:46Speaker 1: looked at this this morning, and look last week, I
- 49:51Speaker 1: love the Chargers at plus seven against the Niners at home.
- 49:56Speaker 1: The wise guys came in and they loved the Niners.
- 49:58Speaker 1: They moved the number up. It made no sense to me,
- 50:01Speaker 1: given the variants given justin Herbert, like too much in
- 50:05Speaker 1: play for that kind of number. I don't know if
- 50:08Speaker 1: I feel that same way about the Chiefs. Yeah, and
- 50:11Speaker 1: like I got caught. I tried playing both sides last week.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Tried playing the Charges for the game first half, and
- 50:17Speaker 1: it was just the Charges were the right side all
- 50:19Speaker 1: the way through. It's just this is when you play
- 50:21Speaker 1: the Charges. You don't play them as a three point favorite.
- 50:23Speaker 1: You don't play them when they are seven point favorite.
- 50:26Speaker 1: You're playing when they're over a three and a half dog,
- 50:28Speaker 1: when they're over seven point dog. They just they're always
- 50:30Speaker 1: in it. And again I don't get what the hell
- 50:33Speaker 1: is wrong with them, Like they held what was it?
- 50:36Speaker 1: What was the what? They put up ten points and
- 50:37Speaker 1: they held the four hours to sixteen points. Sixteen was
- 50:41Speaker 1: the final score. So to me, the Herbert stuff right
- 50:46Speaker 1: now is warranted. Right, he's not producing without his top weapons.
- 50:49Speaker 1: But I would say to people, okay, two is out
- 50:52Speaker 1: of the world right now. Right he's the second highest
- 50:54Speaker 1: graded guy. Right, he's the second MVP voting take away waddle,
- 50:58Speaker 1: take away tire kill. You don't got shipped there. So
- 51:02Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Mike Williams being out, I'm trying not to
- 51:05Speaker 1: judge him right now, because that's a big deal. I
- 51:07Speaker 1: am going to judge the coaching because I do think
- 51:08Speaker 1: the coaching for the charge is atrocious. But what the
- 51:11Speaker 1: hell are we gonna do here? Chat? I feel he
- 51:12Speaker 1: just nailed. It's like as much I don't want to
- 51:15Speaker 1: take the Chargers, I know I'm supposed to here, Like
- 51:17Speaker 1: this is a big number against the Chiefs team they
- 51:19Speaker 1: got lucky to cover last week. Like again, it's nothing
- 51:22Speaker 1: they did the other team, miskicks, That's why they covered.
- 51:26Speaker 1: I just I have to keep fading. My home is
- 51:27Speaker 1: a big favorite usually does not cover that number. So
- 51:30Speaker 1: I said it last week, just stuck to my guns.
- 51:33Speaker 1: The Chargers are probably gonna be the right side again.
- 51:35Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll walk into it. Hopefully Key Allen's back,
- 51:39Speaker 1: but I'm gonna grab the seven now just in case
- 51:40Speaker 1: he does come back. I could see this number dropping
- 51:42Speaker 1: a little bit. I took it. I felt good about it.
- 51:47Speaker 1: South of the bottom down, Mexico away. That's where I
- 51:55Speaker 1: feel in love. When the stars above can out to
- 52:00Speaker 1: play South of the bottom down Mexico. Forty Niners, Cardinals
- 52:09Speaker 1: playing in Mexico. I don't know what's going on, except
- 52:13Speaker 1: I know this. I love Kyle Shanahan. We've talked about
- 52:17Speaker 1: how much I love Kyle Shanahan. I hate Cliff Kingsberry.
- 52:21Speaker 1: We've talked about how much we hate Cliff Kingsbury as coaches.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Nothing personal. But I got a forty Niners team that
- 52:28Speaker 1: is stacked at every single key position and service at quarterback,
- 52:36Speaker 1: but defensive line, linebacker, defensive backfield stacked, wide receiver, running back,
- 52:44Speaker 1: tight end, offensive line stacked. It is a roster without
- 52:49Speaker 1: very many holes. And they're going against a Cardinals team
- 52:53Speaker 1: that I just think isn't very good. I don't think
- 52:55Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is very good. I think he's a great
- 52:58Speaker 1: athlete who is not playing up to either his level
- 53:03Speaker 1: as a skill position player or isn't being put in
- 53:06Speaker 1: a position to succeed by his coaches who are making
- 53:08Speaker 1: bad play calls. But all I know is that this
- 53:10Speaker 1: is gonna be a one dimensional team on Sunday. And
- 53:13Speaker 1: if it's one dimensional and it's Kyler Murray with the
- 53:15Speaker 1: ball in his hand against a forty Niners team, that's
- 53:18Speaker 1: gonna be able to rush the pasture with impunity. I
- 53:21Speaker 1: don't mind the big number playing in Mexico. Now, I'm
- 53:26Speaker 1: not gonna make this a bet off because I have
- 53:28Speaker 1: that I don't have that much confidence in the Cardinals.
- 53:30Speaker 1: But you know better. This is the This is where
- 53:32Speaker 1: you take the Cardinals again. The books are not your friends.
- 53:35Speaker 1: They're hanging in number without even knowing who the quarterback is,
- 53:38Speaker 1: and they're accepting large amounts of money right now on
- 53:41Speaker 1: this forty nine team. They are happily taking this money
- 53:44Speaker 1: right now. So this game just stinks Holy hell to me.
- 53:47Speaker 1: I would have been with you if it was if
- 53:49Speaker 1: it was in Arizona, because they suck at home. This
- 53:51Speaker 1: is where the books think they make their stand here.
- 53:53Speaker 1: I honestly hope it's Colt McCoy. I felt like he
- 53:56Speaker 1: ran the offense better. He got banged up, So I
- 53:59Speaker 1: have no idea who the quarterback is gonna be for Arizona.
- 54:01Speaker 1: Do not trust it. Do not trust this number. Don't
- 54:04Speaker 1: fall for what Chad's saying right now. I feel like
- 54:06Speaker 1: they're laying us a trap. Don't walk in there with Chad.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Just wait and see or if anything, going to bet
- 54:12Speaker 1: this game. But I agree with a lot of what
- 54:14Speaker 1: you're saying. But my my biggest issue is Jimmy g
- 54:17Speaker 1: I just don't like Jimmy. Don't like what I've seen
- 54:20Speaker 1: from Jimmy this year. I don't think he recovered from
- 54:22Speaker 1: that injury, which was like he was sitting on all
- 54:24Speaker 1: off season. Doesn't look like he gets the ball down field.
- 54:26Speaker 1: When he does go downfield, it's usually high and he's
- 54:29Speaker 1: he's like receivers. I mean, Nick these incredible catches for him. Man,
- 54:33Speaker 1: that's a big, big number in a divisional game like this.
- 54:35Speaker 1: But I can't do it. I wish I could come
- 54:37Speaker 1: out and be the man and be like, no, you
- 54:39Speaker 1: take the Cardinals. I can't do it because I just
- 54:41Speaker 1: I hate them. I'm with him like everything about this team.
- 54:44Speaker 1: I'm trying to take away the faces and the names,
- 54:47Speaker 1: but just such a poorly coached team of the Cardinals.
- 54:51Speaker 1: But I will not take Kyle as a big favorite
- 54:54Speaker 1: in a primetime game, and that served me well last
- 54:56Speaker 1: week taking the Chargers, even though I had no damn
- 54:58Speaker 1: idea why I was doing it. It's like you just said,
- 55:00Speaker 1: on paper, are a healthier team. They're more complete team.
- 55:04Speaker 1: They have all their weapons. It's the same thing here
- 55:06Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. It's like they're the more complete team.
- 55:09Speaker 1: They have the healthy team. Why isn't this number ten?
- 55:11Speaker 1: Like this number should be closer to ten something something
- 55:15Speaker 1: stinky here. So um, I'll stay away, won't won't have
- 55:19Speaker 1: us in their contest. But me and Chatter split on
- 55:21Speaker 1: this one. I'd go Cardinals. Cliff Kingsbury is the only
- 55:24Speaker 1: coach in the Super Bowl era with a winning record
- 55:27Speaker 1: as an underdog and a losing record is a favorite
- 55:32Speaker 1: Kendall Baker's Axeo sports newsletter today, that's bizarre. I don't
- 55:38Speaker 1: trust him. Yeah, well, look, we gave away a foxhold
- 55:41Speaker 1: Pats minus three, we gave away a sign and says
- 55:43Speaker 1: Cowboys minus one gave away an executive decision. Texas plus
- 55:47Speaker 1: three and a half. On Thursday, we will do Scoochroolett,
- 55:50Speaker 1: we will do Big Balls, We will do Moneyline Round
- 55:52Speaker 1: Robin our Leans right now for the contest Strong Leans
- 55:58Speaker 1: Texans three and a half, Pats minus three, Cowboys minus one,
- 56:02Speaker 1: Thinking about It, Chargers plus seven, Saints minus four, atlant
- 56:05Speaker 1: At minus three. I'm going to evaluate on Thursday, Browns
- 56:10Speaker 1: plus eight and Bengals minus five. Yeah. This has been
