- 1:26Speaker 1: to The Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I am Chad Mollman, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I am joined as I am for every episode, my partner,
- 1:40Speaker 1: my co host, my bff, my companion, my compadre professional
- 1:45Speaker 1: better Simon Hunter Simon. We got a lot of stuff
- 1:50Speaker 1: to get to, uh, including a very special segment from
- 1:56Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell. But before we do that, I do I
- 2:00Speaker 1: want to talk to you because we forgot to talk
- 2:03Speaker 1: about this on Tuesday. Uh, you had a bunch of
- 2:07Speaker 1: wise guys that you were hanging out with this past
- 2:09Speaker 1: weekend at the sports books for the beginning of preseason essentially,
- 2:14Speaker 1: and give me some of the insights some of what
- 2:17Speaker 1: you guys were talking about. What were you guys seeing
- 2:19Speaker 1: that made everyone excited? Well, it was a fun weekend.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. We had um I want to say,
- 2:25Speaker 1: like eleven two, I don't know twelve of my own
- 2:29Speaker 1: clients came up to oceans. It's a casino down Atlantic City.
- 2:32Speaker 1: That's pretty posh and a bunch of pros. I know.
- 2:36Speaker 1: You know, a couple of guys came down from Canada,
- 2:38Speaker 1: a couple of guys came from Maryland. We had two
- 2:40Speaker 1: guys up from Florida. You know, just came up for
- 2:42Speaker 1: the first opening week of football. Um, it's just it's
- 2:47Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of like a ritual where
- 2:49Speaker 1: you just get together the guys, you get the juices flowing,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and we always joke we try to get the scumbag
- 2:53Speaker 1: bet out of the way, so you know, we're in
- 2:56Speaker 1: a business of losing morals. My scumbag better the year
- 2:59Speaker 1: was I took Browns first half the Shawn Watson's first start. Uh,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I believe they were down thirteen nothing. DeShawn Watson was
- 3:05Speaker 1: one of seven for six yards passing. They yanke him
- 3:08Speaker 1: out of the game. There's four minutes ago, they drive
- 3:10Speaker 1: down the field, score touchdown. Jaguars turned around, throw a
- 3:13Speaker 1: pick six. They cover the first half spread fourteen thirteen.
- 3:16Speaker 1: So I won my first scumbag better of the summer
- 3:19Speaker 1: of DeShawn Watson. So it's just fun. It's literally it
- 3:23Speaker 1: feels like not that you're in a comb. I don't
- 3:26Speaker 1: wanna put that depressing, but like again, I want a
- 3:28Speaker 1: bunch of money. The NBA Finals wasn't that much fun.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I want a couple of schleck like a couple of
- 3:33Speaker 1: bucks here on the Ravens whenever. That was Thursday night.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I was going crazy. Just felt so good to be
- 3:37Speaker 1: back into our favorite game of football. Uh. Two things one,
- 3:43Speaker 1: Uh not only did you back door cover that Browns,
- 3:46Speaker 1: but it was like with thirty seconds left and the
- 3:49Speaker 1: ball was in the Jaguars receivers hands and he had
- 3:54Speaker 1: it ripped away by the Browns defensive back number one.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Number two. I believe the word you're looking for is
- 4:01Speaker 1: you want a couple of shekels. I don't even know
- 4:06Speaker 1: the saying is. It's a Jewish saying, isn't. I was Yiddish.
- 4:09Speaker 1: It's the Yiddish phrase for money. Um as your as
- 4:14Speaker 1: yours a d as your entry into Jewish culture. I'm
- 4:20Speaker 1: always here for you, buddy, You're the man. You're the
- 4:23Speaker 1: man we were supposed to have. Um My nemesis Matthew Freedman,
- 4:31Speaker 1: former Action Network analysts now at Fantasy Pros, on the
- 4:36Speaker 1: podcast as a guest. He's a great guest We love
- 4:39Speaker 1: having him come on, even though he uh left us
- 4:43Speaker 1: in despair about a year and a half ago. Matt Mitchell,
- 4:49Speaker 1: can you tell us what happened? I can. We invited
- 4:53Speaker 1: him to come on the show to be one of
- 4:55Speaker 1: our hallowed guests here in the Chambers of the Favorites,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and he had to decline, sending me this note which
- 5:03Speaker 1: I will read now. Hey, guys, I need to pass
- 5:12Speaker 1: on the Monday show. My wife and I have gotten
- 5:15Speaker 1: hooked up with the soup nazy of dog rumors, and
- 5:19Speaker 1: our dog has an appointment on Tuesday afternoon. If you're
- 5:23Speaker 1: not available to pick up your dog within fifteen minutes
- 5:26Speaker 1: of getting the message that your dog is ready, apparently
- 5:30Speaker 1: the groomer gets pissed and will remove the dog from
- 5:34Speaker 1: the client roster. And if that happens, my wife will
- 5:37Speaker 1: be intensely annoyed with me. The real issue is that
- 5:41Speaker 1: the groomer gets annoyed if you even ask her when
- 5:44Speaker 1: she might be done with the dog. So I need
- 5:46Speaker 1: to remain ready to leave the house at a moment's
- 5:49Speaker 1: notice for the entirety of a three hour window. So
- 5:53Speaker 1: that's my long winded way of saying no, But thank
- 5:56Speaker 1: you for the invitation. Honestly wish I could do it
- 6:00Speaker 1: instead of having my life controlled by a power hungry
- 6:03Speaker 1: dog um in Dubuque, Iowa and quote, I don't even
- 6:10Speaker 1: know what to say to that. That is the most
- 6:14Speaker 1: Matthew Friedman reason for not coming on a podcast I
- 6:19Speaker 1: could possibly imagine. It is precious, It is inappropriate. It
- 6:25Speaker 1: is Debuque, Iowa, Debuque, Iowa. The worst part is that
- 6:32Speaker 1: I'm certain it's true, and he should have He should
- 6:35Speaker 1: have just said I'm at the doctor, I can't do it.
- 6:39Speaker 1: He instead really put these cards on the table and
- 6:43Speaker 1: let me see him. Is a is a real look
- 6:45Speaker 1: into his life. I think he did it for our benefit.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Don't forget this is a guy who has on Twitter
- 6:51Speaker 1: in the past described the step by step process in
- 6:56Speaker 1: the middle of being going through food poisoning and try
- 6:59Speaker 1: to do in Twitter a m a at the same time.
- 7:01Speaker 1: So he clearly is shameless and has no boundaries. He's
- 7:06Speaker 1: nothing if not precious used the exact right word. So
- 7:09Speaker 1: we wish you all the best with with your dog, Matthew.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Sorry you couldn't join us. I hope his dog looks
- 7:14Speaker 1: really good and he better send us a picture maybe
- 7:17Speaker 1: we'll have him on again sometimes. And then we got
- 7:20Speaker 1: two divisions to cover today. I think they happen to
- 7:26Speaker 1: be the least interesting divisions in the NFL. One of
- 7:29Speaker 1: them is a division that I don't even think merits
- 7:34Speaker 1: attention from anybody outside of the region in which they play.
- 7:38Speaker 1: We have talked about this. It is the region with
- 7:41Speaker 1: the most nondescript helmets, with fans that don't travel, with
- 7:46Speaker 1: a fan base that doesn't extend usually beyond the city limits.
- 7:50Speaker 1: We are talking about the a f C South. We
- 7:53Speaker 1: are talking about the Colts and the Titans, and the
- 7:56Speaker 1: Jags and the Texans, and then we're also talking about
- 8:00Speaker 1: the NFC South, the Bucks and the Saints and the
- 8:03Speaker 1: Panthers and the Falcons. No one ever gives a funk
- 8:05Speaker 1: about these teams. Yeah again, I know child likes picking
- 8:09Speaker 1: on these teams. I care. I like these teams. They're
- 8:12Speaker 1: fun to me that I like their color combos. I
- 8:14Speaker 1: love all their old nicknames, the Aints, the Buccaneers, cream
- 8:18Speaker 1: cream orange skulls, Jerseys creamy, whimsical is not a Yiddish word.
- 8:23Speaker 1: That's just an old time American dessert. The fairness. To me,
- 8:28Speaker 1: I've been up since three am chat. So give me
- 8:30Speaker 1: a break here. The Falcons, Like, the Falcons have been
- 8:33Speaker 1: in the league for what sixty years, and it feels
- 8:37Speaker 1: like there's no history there. Yeah, the their history is
- 8:40Speaker 1: trading breath for up to Green Bay. Yeah, it just
- 8:43Speaker 1: feels their history is the running shoot and Gerald Riggs.
- 8:50Speaker 1: That's I guess we got to talk about them though.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers are minus to seventy to win the division.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Their win total is eleven and a half plus money
- 9:01Speaker 1: on the over look, Like, you don't bet this team
- 9:06Speaker 1: to win the division. If I were doing something with
- 9:09Speaker 1: the Bucks, here's what I would do. Simon, tell me
- 9:12Speaker 1: if you agree with this, it's a wise guy move.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I would probably the Bucks and the Packers and try
- 9:17Speaker 1: to drive my price down. That's the move you throw
- 9:20Speaker 1: with the Packers, done with the Bills. Teams you think
- 9:23Speaker 1: are locked in their division. I'll be doing it even
- 9:26Speaker 1: though we're about to talk about it. The Bucks are
- 9:28Speaker 1: a boring team, like you know what they are there, Brady,
- 9:32Speaker 1: with a bunch of really good offensive weapons around them.
- 9:34Speaker 1: You've gotten hit by the injury bug, right, We're a
- 9:36Speaker 1: little worried about what's happened to them. So far, they've
- 9:39Speaker 1: had a couple of injuries on their offensive line, but
- 9:42Speaker 1: I mean, look at this division again, we're about to
- 9:44Speaker 1: go through it. It's it's hard not to think of
- 9:46Speaker 1: them getting to eleven a half wins. Like in Brady's career, mathematically,
- 9:51Speaker 1: you always take this over a bet, like there's all
- 9:53Speaker 1: there's just people out there that just kept been betting
- 9:54Speaker 1: his under betting him getting hurt, and here we are.
- 9:57Speaker 1: What is he now? I mean, it's really is crazy,
- 10:00Speaker 1: Like I don't even know what to say or talk
- 10:02Speaker 1: about because it's like I got nothing to base it
- 10:05Speaker 1: off of. I just never seen it before. My computer
- 10:07Speaker 1: can't comprehend it, like that year Brady won the Super
- 10:09Speaker 1: Bowl with the Tampa Bay It's just it's like it
- 10:12Speaker 1: sounds fictional. You're gonna tell your kids about it, it's
- 10:14Speaker 1: not gonna sound real. Um. My favorite stat I saw
- 10:18Speaker 1: is if you just take how many playoff wins these
- 10:20Speaker 1: hats since he's thirty seven and beyond, he has the
- 10:22Speaker 1: most playoff wins in NFL history after age thirty seven
- 10:26Speaker 1: and beyond. So it's just all the numbers don't make
- 10:29Speaker 1: sense with Brady. So I don't know. I wouldn't touch
- 10:31Speaker 1: it because again we're gonna talk all these teams coming up.
- 10:34Speaker 1: If you want to bet something with this team, Chad
- 10:36Speaker 1: talked about maybe make a parlay with them with other
- 10:38Speaker 1: divisional winners take their over. But this is this is
- 10:42Speaker 1: not a fun bet. So to me, I won't invest
- 10:44Speaker 1: and hold my money up on this team all season.
- 10:46Speaker 1: There's just too many variables. It is truly amazing that
- 10:49Speaker 1: the guys years old and playing at near peak. You
- 10:56Speaker 1: could argue at peak in the nfl L When I
- 11:00Speaker 1: turned forty, I had to stop playing basketball because I
- 11:05Speaker 1: tore my labor and I broke my ribs in two
- 11:08Speaker 1: separate incidents. When I turned fifty, I broke my pinky
- 11:12Speaker 1: and I broke my thumb, just like playing catch with
- 11:15Speaker 1: the football, Like you're brittle as you get older. I
- 11:20Speaker 1: cannot believe he's able to do this. No, it doesn't
- 11:24Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. Again, we laugh about it all the time,
- 11:28Speaker 1: but it's just, you know, we all want to hate
- 11:30Speaker 1: on Brady because it's like the man lives the most
- 11:32Speaker 1: perfect life and he lives the dream. But it's like this,
- 11:35Speaker 1: this guy is the greatest athlete where PA ever gonna
- 11:38Speaker 1: see there's just nothing compared to the man is has
- 11:41Speaker 1: potential to win another Super Bowl ring and Peyton Manning
- 11:43Speaker 1: is about in the Hall of Fame. It's just you
- 11:46Speaker 1: can't really wrap your head around it. It's just crazy
- 11:48Speaker 1: what he's done and how long his careers lasted. Peyton
- 11:51Speaker 1: Manning has already been in the Hall of Fame for
- 11:52Speaker 1: like a year. It's interesting you mentioned It's interesting you
- 11:56Speaker 1: mentioned him as a great ask because people wouldn't necessarily
- 12:00Speaker 1: think of him as a great athlete, right you think
- 12:03Speaker 1: you think of like Jordan's or Lebron or Serena or
- 12:07Speaker 1: Bo Jackson or Dion right, Bruce Janner, right, Jim Thorpe.
- 12:14Speaker 1: But I actually agree with you. I think the whole fallacy,
- 12:18Speaker 1: the whole myth around Brady, that he's a guy who
- 12:22Speaker 1: didn't have any of the physical advantages and is an
- 12:24Speaker 1: underdog story is a fallacy. The guy is six four.
- 12:30Speaker 1: He was a good enough baseball player in high school
- 12:32Speaker 1: to get drafted. He was a good enough football player
- 12:35Speaker 1: in high school to be recruited by USC and Michigan.
- 12:39Speaker 1: It's not like these are these are backwater schools. These
- 12:42Speaker 1: are schools that recruit the best quarterbacks in the country,
- 12:47Speaker 1: and he just happens to be an incredible athlete. We've
- 12:50Speaker 1: seen him play golf like who also happens to have
- 12:55Speaker 1: more will and competitive spirit than anybody maybe since or
- 13:00Speaker 1: other than Michael Jordan's. It's it's a lethal combination. Yeah, no,
- 13:04Speaker 1: we'll we'll never see it ever again. I can like again,
- 13:07Speaker 1: I'll never I hope you're like, you'll never say never,
- 13:09Speaker 1: We'll never see it again. It's just to have the
- 13:12Speaker 1: matchup of him with Belichick in such a bad week
- 13:15Speaker 1: division that he just dominated for twenty years. It just
- 13:18Speaker 1: we won't see it again. So yeah, I'm just when
- 13:20Speaker 1: I think of Tampa Bay, I'm just gonna appreciate them
- 13:22Speaker 1: this year, right, just appreciate Brading his greatness. But nobody
- 13:25Speaker 1: can never say he's not a great athlete, because he's
- 13:28Speaker 1: he's like one of the best athletes ever ever. No
- 13:32Speaker 1: one else has a new coach. We don't believe in
- 13:34Speaker 1: their quarterback. New Orleans is plus three ten to win
- 13:39Speaker 1: the division. Their win total was eight and a half.
- 13:41Speaker 1: We don't know what we're getting in a new coach.
- 13:43Speaker 1: We don't know what their receiver group is going to
- 13:44Speaker 1: look like. The eight and a half is reflective of
- 13:48Speaker 1: how little bookmakers think of this division. Don't let anybody
- 13:52Speaker 1: come in because they really don't think anyone can beat
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Bucks. Yeah, talk to a lot of pros and
- 13:57Speaker 1: they like the Saints team, and I just think they're
- 14:00Speaker 1: just betting off emotion and what they think will be
- 14:02Speaker 1: fun and a team that right. They They've had the
- 14:05Speaker 1: Buccaneers number these last couple of years. They've just always
- 14:08Speaker 1: beat them. Sean Payton's gone, that's a big deal to me,
- 14:11Speaker 1: Like losing that head coach, that's gotta be that's gotta
- 14:14Speaker 1: matter for this team. So I don't know what to
- 14:17Speaker 1: do with them. Like I'm waiting on the Kamara news.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Michael Thomas has actually looked really well, like you know,
- 14:22Speaker 1: in practice for them coming back off that ankle injury.
- 14:25Speaker 1: I don't know. There's other team's division i'd rather bet
- 14:27Speaker 1: to win this division, and there's other totals i'd rather
- 14:29Speaker 1: bet where I just don't have any answer for this now.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Lan's team, I don't know what they're gonna be. I
- 14:34Speaker 1: have no idea what their coaches like. But to me,
- 14:36Speaker 1: it's not positive. You're losing a Hall of Fame coach
- 14:38Speaker 1: in Sean Payton you're going to Jamis Winston, who we
- 14:41Speaker 1: know what Jamis is, right, Like, he can have the moments,
- 14:44Speaker 1: he can have those games where he goes five touchdowns
- 14:46Speaker 1: known receptions, he's incredible, and then all three straight weeks
- 14:49Speaker 1: of one touchdown, four picks. It's just the guy has
- 14:52Speaker 1: never been consistent. He doesn't really put the work in.
- 14:55Speaker 1: And I get what the fun is in the hype
- 14:58Speaker 1: is around this New Orleans Staatets team, but you have
- 15:00Speaker 1: to take a step back and really think about is
- 15:02Speaker 1: this team really worth investing your money in for the
- 15:04Speaker 1: next nine months. I just don't see it, So I
- 15:07Speaker 1: wouldn't do it New Orleans. I would, Uh, there's other
- 15:09Speaker 1: teams we're about to talk about this division I put
- 15:11Speaker 1: my money on rather than New Orleans. What do you
- 15:13Speaker 1: think the emotion is? What do you think wise guys
- 15:15Speaker 1: are seeing in this team that makes them want to
- 15:17Speaker 1: play them. They do have a strong core of the team, right,
- 15:21Speaker 1: I mean, I know they lost their offensive lineman. I
- 15:22Speaker 1: think the one guy head down to Miami. I'd have
- 15:25Speaker 1: to look on who who moved, but I'm pretty sure
- 15:27Speaker 1: they lost their all pro left tackle. So when they're
- 15:30Speaker 1: looking at New Orleans, they're looking at a team that
- 15:32Speaker 1: they're not that much worse than Tampa Bay right on paper,
- 15:36Speaker 1: like a Tampa Bay as whole as that we really
- 15:38Speaker 1: talk about pamp Tampa Bay is some major major holes
- 15:41Speaker 1: of the offensive line in their secondary. But New Orleans
- 15:44Speaker 1: to me is it's like light years away right at
- 15:47Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Like I just I just don't see
- 15:50Speaker 1: the advantager. That's why I like this. This division is
- 15:52Speaker 1: gonna be so tricky where I get why people like
- 15:55Speaker 1: the Ones and they're excited about Jamis Winston because he's
- 15:57Speaker 1: such a fun quarterback, But eight and a half wins
- 15:59Speaker 1: is a lot of for this team like them, then
- 16:01Speaker 1: being eight and nine sounds right. I got them at
- 16:03Speaker 1: seven Ones, I got them at seven and ten, So
- 16:06Speaker 1: to me, they're getting a lot of respect from bookmakers,
- 16:08Speaker 1: but being put an eight and a half where I
- 16:10Speaker 1: just don't see it. So again, I would take their under,
- 16:13Speaker 1: but I'm not putting a lot on it. They're just
- 16:15Speaker 1: it's a team I have no fuel for because I
- 16:16Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna get from this new head coach.
- 16:19Speaker 1: You're right, I think there are more interesting teams in
- 16:22Speaker 1: this division. Obviously we're talking about Carolina and Atlanta. Last year,
- 16:27Speaker 1: we were a committed Atlanta Falcons podcast. This year, maybe
- 16:32Speaker 1: we'll we will be We'll get to them. You and
- 16:35Speaker 1: I I think are on opposite sides of Carolina there
- 16:40Speaker 1: tend to want to win the division plus one thousand
- 16:44Speaker 1: win total of six and a half. I love Carolina
- 16:51Speaker 1: over six and a half, Carolina plus one oh five
- 16:57Speaker 1: over six and a half. And you actually have a
- 17:00Speaker 1: couple of pros joining you, a couple of couple of
- 17:02Speaker 1: guys with this weekend they hit. They had a couple
- 17:05Speaker 1: of different books and they bet the over six and
- 17:07Speaker 1: a half. This was before they watched Baker play. Um.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I think after seeing Baker in that preseason game, they
- 17:13Speaker 1: probably regretted a little bit. But Caroline is an exciting team, right,
- 17:17Speaker 1: They got a good defensive cores on offense. We know
- 17:21Speaker 1: what they have, right. They have really really, really really
- 17:24Speaker 1: really put a lot of money and time into this
- 17:28Speaker 1: quarterback position. Every year it's a new QB. They went
- 17:31Speaker 1: from Teddy to Sam Donald, now they're at Baker may
- 17:35Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I mean, it's just been to me, it's
- 17:39Speaker 1: been too much that That's why I'm so down on them.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Where It's like it's no stability. And I've seen with
- 17:44Speaker 1: Baker that Stefanski Rand's one of the best offensive schemes
- 17:47Speaker 1: in all football for the Browns, right, he runs a
- 17:50Speaker 1: run first scheme, and that's what you're expecting to see
- 17:53Speaker 1: here with Carolina. So I think when the pros they're
- 17:55Speaker 1: backing what you're saying Chad is because they're saying, Okay,
- 17:59Speaker 1: this kid has orgably the best running back in football.
- 18:02Speaker 1: He's got good weapons on the outside. Can't Baker just
- 18:05Speaker 1: game managed this team to the playoffs like he did
- 18:07Speaker 1: with the Browns, which is like, how am I gonna
- 18:09Speaker 1: argue against that? Like we've seen Baker do it, right,
- 18:11Speaker 1: we saw him play an AFC Championship game against the Chiefs.
- 18:15Speaker 1: He can manage a team to that position. I I
- 18:18Speaker 1: just can't do it. Like I think it's it's too
- 18:21Speaker 1: much for him to overcome Baker where he's an undersized
- 18:24Speaker 1: quarterback that gets hurt and when he's not hurt, he
- 18:26Speaker 1: makes dumb decisions like he's just he just doesn't have
- 18:30Speaker 1: the men. It is not the mental makeup for me
- 18:32Speaker 1: to really back with my money. And that's why again
- 18:35Speaker 1: I love where Chad's head I like what these pros
- 18:38Speaker 1: are saying. With Baker in this system could be huge.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I think if Bicker did all right this year and
- 18:42Speaker 1: they hit this over right, they go seven and nine.
- 18:44Speaker 1: If they go eight and nine, yeah, give Baker another year.
- 18:48Speaker 1: And that's when I maybe back them next year if
- 18:50Speaker 1: he had another year in this offense. But his first year,
- 18:53Speaker 1: I just can't see Baker making a huge leap to
- 18:55Speaker 1: be in the playoffs and getting seven wins. It's just
- 18:58Speaker 1: it feels like it's too much for him in this
- 19:00Speaker 1: this new offensive scheme. I disagree. I think Baker's at
- 19:05Speaker 1: his best when he's playing with a team for the
- 19:09Speaker 1: first time and they can thrive off his personality and
- 19:13Speaker 1: they can see how athletic he can be and be
- 19:18Speaker 1: sort of you know, we had Ross Tucker on right
- 19:21Speaker 1: and he talked about knowing, thinking, hoping with quarterbacks and
- 19:25Speaker 1: the players in front of him, and that's their sort
- 19:27Speaker 1: of mindset with certain players. I think Baker in his
- 19:31Speaker 1: first year with the team, because of who he is,
- 19:34Speaker 1: can get a team from hoping to know, even if
- 19:39Speaker 1: it's not really the case. And I think with the
- 19:42Speaker 1: running game that he can get and the fact that
- 19:44Speaker 1: the Panthers will be better just by a virtue of
- 19:46Speaker 1: not being on the field defensively as much as they
- 19:49Speaker 1: were last year. Sick and a half. Six and a
- 19:51Speaker 1: half feels like a pretty low bar to me. And
- 19:55Speaker 1: then next year, when he's done well this year, they'll
- 19:58Speaker 1: sign him to a big deal. That's when suck. That's
- 20:00Speaker 1: when he'll get hurt. That's when he'll start to believe
- 20:02Speaker 1: the hype. That's when he'll start to try to do
- 20:04Speaker 1: too much, you know. But I think the pattern for
- 20:08Speaker 1: Baker and he is at Oklahoma too, like first year
- 20:12Speaker 1: in fucking racket ship. I love the theory. I just
- 20:17Speaker 1: I couldn't. I can't back it, can't do it all right, Well,
- 20:20Speaker 1: what do you want to say about your your favorite team?
- 20:22Speaker 1: In the Falcons one to win the division? Four and
- 20:27Speaker 1: a half? Is it a win total? And the only
- 20:30Speaker 1: reason we like them is because they're the one that
- 20:32Speaker 1: won the division way too big. Atlanta is just left
- 20:35Speaker 1: for debt like they are dead. Marcus Mariotta is their quarterback.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Don't know who Marcus Mariotte is. Some guy played at
- 20:42Speaker 1: Oregon back in the day with Chip Kelly almost want
- 20:44Speaker 1: to Heisman. He did win the Heisman. He was incredible,
- 20:48Speaker 1: and then he's just been left for debt, right, like
- 20:50Speaker 1: no one's really thought about him. He was about to
- 20:53Speaker 1: back up for Las Vegas for two years. He's just
- 20:56Speaker 1: he just isn't sexy, like kind of Chad just talking
- 20:59Speaker 1: about people get sucked into the Baker stuff because Baker,
- 21:01Speaker 1: he's a name, he's funny, he's exciting. There's no hype
- 21:04Speaker 1: around its Atlanta team. There's just nothing. It's just gross.
- 21:08Speaker 1: That's where I coming, Like, there's no chance this BET's
- 21:10Speaker 1: gonna hit. There's no way this is gonna win. But
- 21:13Speaker 1: it's too big, Like Atlanta should not be twenty to
- 21:16Speaker 1: one to win this division. They should be fourteen to one.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Fifteen to one, that's a more normal number for this
- 21:21Speaker 1: team that does have pieces on this offense, like Mariotta
- 21:27Speaker 1: as much, I loved the shot on the guy I
- 21:28Speaker 1: saw in the preseason. He's got the legs like he's
- 21:31Speaker 1: got the he can throw off balance, he has all
- 21:33Speaker 1: the skill sets. It's as if can he stay healthy
- 21:36Speaker 1: and one at that kind of long shot odds, I'm
- 21:40Speaker 1: fine with putting a hundred bucks to bucks on this
- 21:42Speaker 1: kind of bet, just just on the off chance that
- 21:44Speaker 1: you know, come December there are one or two games
- 21:47Speaker 1: back at Tampa, I can head you out of it.
- 21:49Speaker 1: So to me, if you're just looking at pure value based,
- 21:51Speaker 1: that's what I like with this division. I like this
- 21:54Speaker 1: crazy long shot at lanted team that I trust their
- 21:57Speaker 1: head coach, I trust the offense that they have there,
- 22:00Speaker 1: and I do think their defense has been much improved
- 22:02Speaker 1: of last year. So to me, I get it. Atlanta.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Everyone's all about them tanking for the season, which does
- 22:07Speaker 1: make sense. It's a great QB class coming up. I
- 22:10Speaker 1: just don't think they're that as bad as everyone's left
- 22:12Speaker 1: them to be, like they're just not one to win
- 22:15Speaker 1: this division bad like they're they're just that's just too
- 22:18Speaker 1: too extreme for this for me. So yeah, Atlanta again
- 22:23Speaker 1: not telling people to put their house on. And this
- 22:24Speaker 1: is one of my bigger bets for this division. I
- 22:26Speaker 1: think that's the best value right now. By the way,
- 22:30Speaker 1: one I'm looking in the Action Network app right now,
- 22:33Speaker 1: that is by far the longest odds to win the
- 22:37Speaker 1: division in the NFL. That is a long, long long shot.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I love this. Like, so we know about scumbag bets,
- 22:45Speaker 1: which sort of you bet on something that is totally
- 22:50Speaker 1: mean spirited, like on the on Watson in the first
- 22:53Speaker 1: half in the first preseason game that you did. What
- 22:57Speaker 1: This is just a pure garbage bet. This is a
- 23:00Speaker 1: just gross, disgusting beat. Yeah, and this is one of
- 23:04Speaker 1: these you talk all the times if it's twenty one,
- 23:06Speaker 1: I'll need to hit it once every twenty eight years.
- 23:08Speaker 1: And that's the way I look at these kind of bets.
- 23:10Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not gonna hit this already know it's
- 23:13Speaker 1: a loser. It's the same thing. Like I joke all
- 23:14Speaker 1: the time, I really did bet a lot of money
- 23:17Speaker 1: on the Jack Choirs and Detroit Lions when a Super
- 23:19Speaker 1: Bowl this year, there's zero chance that's gonna hit. I
- 23:22Speaker 1: am well aware I let money on fire. People. It's
- 23:25Speaker 1: all about positioning. It's all about hedging. Like that's literally
- 23:27Speaker 1: my job has put myself in position to hedge out
- 23:30Speaker 1: on our profits. So same thinking here Atlanta. I literally
- 23:33Speaker 1: just let that money on fire. That money does not
- 23:35Speaker 1: exist anymore because there's no way Atlanta wins this division.
- 23:38Speaker 1: But on the off chance at a forty five year
- 23:40Speaker 1: old quarterback gets hurt and the Saints are terrible and
- 23:43Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's terrible. I love the odds. I just think
- 23:46Speaker 1: it's way too much when there's just so much in
- 23:48Speaker 1: the up in the air in this division. The NFL
- 23:52Speaker 1: Week one odds are out, and now is the time

- 25:37Speaker 1: old team in the Atlanta Falcons, Let's transition to his
- 25:40Speaker 1: new team, and the a f C South The Indianapolis
- 25:43Speaker 1: Colts minus on to win the division. Their season win
- 25:49Speaker 1: total is nine and a half. I feel like bookmakers
- 25:53Speaker 1: are setting a trap with the Colts because everyone always
- 25:56Speaker 1: wants to love them. Everyone believes in Frank Reich, everyone
- 25:59Speaker 1: believes Eaves in the roster they're building and Darius Leonard
- 26:03Speaker 1: in that defense and Jonathan Stewart is going to be
- 26:05Speaker 1: the number one fantasy guy. Are we being lured into
- 26:08Speaker 1: a trap here? Simon? Yeah? And the way they're sucking
- 26:12Speaker 1: us in is what Chad just talked about. Like, I'm
- 26:14Speaker 1: I'm right there with them. I I every year I
- 26:16Speaker 1: look at this cold team. I think they're the best
- 26:17Speaker 1: team this division. And I think they're on a three
- 26:20Speaker 1: year wind streak Tennessee, Like they just keep one of
- 26:22Speaker 1: this division in the year. And before that, I think
- 26:24Speaker 1: it was a Jaguars win in this division with Blake
- 26:26Speaker 1: Bortles was a quarterback, and then before that Andrew Luck
- 26:29Speaker 1: won the division. So it's been a long time for
- 26:31Speaker 1: this cold team since they've really been on top of
- 26:34Speaker 1: this division. And I think you're gonna good number, right
- 26:37Speaker 1: if you want to bet the Colts and minus one,
- 26:40Speaker 1: that is a great number. Like, I can't knock you
- 26:42Speaker 1: for doing it. To me. I look at this team
- 26:45Speaker 1: and I just have red flag and questions. Like I
- 26:48Speaker 1: I look at their offensive line, they have some major
- 26:51Speaker 1: question marks on that left side of the line. Right,
- 26:53Speaker 1: they lost their left hackle, they lost their left guard.
- 26:56Speaker 1: That's a big deal. Yeah, I guy's coming back from injuries.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Who who's he throwing to? Right? We we know that
- 27:02Speaker 1: the cold slash year that was Corson Wentz is a
- 27:04Speaker 1: big ripe with him and he didn't have weapons on
- 27:05Speaker 1: the outside. They really haven't improved that either. Obviously, we
- 27:09Speaker 1: all know about Jonathan Taylor, the best running back in football,
- 27:11Speaker 1: and that's the key to this team. Like, that's what's
- 27:13Speaker 1: really gonna get them going. It's how he performs this
- 27:16Speaker 1: year with Matt Ryan, he's just gonna be a game manager.
- 27:18Speaker 1: The guy. Again, I don't want to shoot on that Ryan.
- 27:20Speaker 1: I like Matt Ryan. He's a Penn Charter alum. He's
- 27:23Speaker 1: a legend in my local area. But man, has he
- 27:26Speaker 1: not really done anything since Kyle Shanahan left them, Like
- 27:29Speaker 1: that was a long time ago. Him and Shane word together,
- 27:32Speaker 1: and his career has kind of just been what Matt
- 27:35Speaker 1: Ryan is. Right, Matt Ryan's above average quarterback and that's
- 27:37Speaker 1: kind of what his career has been. So, you know,
- 27:39Speaker 1: maybe a new change of scenery lights something up in him.
- 27:41Speaker 1: But I just don't see it with him. I can't
- 27:44Speaker 1: see it with this offense either, So to me, I'll
- 27:47Speaker 1: be on there under again. I hate being that guy,
- 27:50Speaker 1: but I have him in nine wins. I had him
- 27:51Speaker 1: at nine point two. So though nine point five wins,
- 27:55Speaker 1: it's a it's a slim margin. If I liked Matt Ryan,
- 27:57Speaker 1: if I like what I'm seen from them and this
- 28:00Speaker 1: preseason and reading stuff for these beat writers, maybe I'll
- 28:03Speaker 1: bump it up and I'll take that over. Because I
- 28:05Speaker 1: haven't bet it yet, but right now as I sit,
- 28:07Speaker 1: I got him great out as an under So to me,
- 28:09Speaker 1: I wouldn't touch him in divisionally, I wouldn't touch there
- 28:11Speaker 1: over yet. Does Matt Ryan get into the Hall of Fame? God,
- 28:16Speaker 1: I hope not. Like he's It's like the same thing
- 28:19Speaker 1: about Philip Rivers, Like everyone's like Philip Rivers is the
- 28:21Speaker 1: lock to get into the Hall of Fame, and it's
- 28:23Speaker 1: just I don't know, it's I know it's easier getting
- 28:26Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and it's all about you know,
- 28:27Speaker 1: these guys padding the stats and everything like that, But
- 28:30Speaker 1: there's gotta be some type of limit, Like can we
- 28:33Speaker 1: really just shove these guys in Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I just can't see that
- 28:38Speaker 1: me voting them in. But I know beat writers it's
- 28:41Speaker 1: a different story. But me personally, like a guy like
- 28:44Speaker 1: Eli Manny who didn't have the stats but has the
- 28:46Speaker 1: two Super Bowl rings, I'd put him over just because
- 28:48Speaker 1: he did it in the most important time the playoffs.
- 28:51Speaker 1: I agree. I totally agree. The other team in that division,
- 28:54Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. You know they were the number one seed
- 28:56Speaker 1: in the a f C last year. Mike Rabo was
- 29:00Speaker 1: one of those I feel like he's a little bit
- 29:02Speaker 1: more of a sophisticated Dan Campbell, Like super smart, yes,
- 29:06Speaker 1: super aggro, can get his guys motivated, um knows the
- 29:10Speaker 1: rules so well, can outplay out, scheme outcoach just about
- 29:15Speaker 1: anybody can get his team in the right position to
- 29:17Speaker 1: win at the end of the year. Like, why aren't
- 29:20Speaker 1: I bet in this team plus one seventy to win
- 29:22Speaker 1: the division given what we just said about Indianapolis. It's funny,
- 29:26Speaker 1: Like I went through my notebook from last year and
- 29:28Speaker 1: on the show if you're near the show, me and
- 29:30Speaker 1: Chad to make five picks every week for a contest
- 29:32Speaker 1: were in and Tennessee was our most profitable teams last year.
- 29:35Speaker 1: We want actually really big on them. I believe we
- 29:37Speaker 1: want big on them against the Bills. We won big
- 29:39Speaker 1: on them against the Chiefs, and there's just different games
- 29:41Speaker 1: where he kept getting rebel as a dog. Even at home.
- 29:44Speaker 1: He was a home dog, and a bunch of those
- 29:46Speaker 1: games getting over three and a half, four and a
- 29:47Speaker 1: half against these teams. We joked about it's just like
- 29:50Speaker 1: we don't get it. We don't get how their defense
- 29:52Speaker 1: was so good. But they just kept stepping up and
- 29:54Speaker 1: they kept producing. They kept beating in these close, ugly,
- 29:56Speaker 1: battled games, and that's where we see regression in this
- 29:59Speaker 1: upcoming season. They had so much good fortune last year.
- 30:02Speaker 1: They literally had the one seed, like that's even crazy
- 30:05Speaker 1: to think about, and that loaded a f C. Tannehill
- 30:08Speaker 1: somehow had the one seed last year. So you know,
- 30:11Speaker 1: I would love to say they improved this awesome, but
- 30:13Speaker 1: they didn't. Right, They lost a J. Brown, they lost
- 30:16Speaker 1: a couple of stars on the defensive side. They are
- 30:18Speaker 1: again Derrick Henry Beck, which we can all agree is
- 30:20Speaker 1: a big upgrade from what they had last year. But
- 30:22Speaker 1: it feels like it's a lot for this Tennessee team
- 30:24Speaker 1: to overcome I'm gonna keep grading out as I go here.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I got them eight point seven wins. The book's come
- 30:29Speaker 1: at nine and a half. They're nine win team. To me, like,
- 30:32Speaker 1: that's again in this division we're gonna talk about all years.
- 30:34Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a very competitive division where it
- 30:36Speaker 1: hasn't really been in the past. So I love Tennessee.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I loved Rabel I'll forever be thankful for all the
- 30:40Speaker 1: money they want us last year. But it's a new
- 30:43Speaker 1: year and they're just They're one of those teams that
- 30:45Speaker 1: scream regression on the defensive side and offensive side. So
- 30:49Speaker 1: I like taking that under. If you still can get
- 30:51Speaker 1: the nine and a half at a plus number, I
- 30:53Speaker 1: would take that number. Well, look, you you have it
- 30:55Speaker 1: graded at nine. Nine feels like the right number. And
- 30:58Speaker 1: if that's the case, take the under nine and a half.
- 31:01Speaker 1: The other team that we want to talk about here Houston.
- 31:05Speaker 1: One win in the division. Four and a half is
- 31:07Speaker 1: the win total. Davis Mills, we're both big fans. We'll
- 31:10Speaker 1: get to it in a second, but we're not going
- 31:11Speaker 1: to spend as much time on Houston as we are
- 31:13Speaker 1: on Jacksonville. I'm coming around to your way of thinking
- 31:17Speaker 1: on this plus seven fifty to win the division win
- 31:22Speaker 1: total six and a half. Simon Hunter, professional analyzer of football.
- 31:29Speaker 1: We have been talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars. I know
- 31:32Speaker 1: you've got a strong opinion. Light it up. This is
- 31:35Speaker 1: why you have on the show, brother, this is how
- 31:38Speaker 1: I make my living picking these ugly, ugly divisional winners
- 31:42Speaker 1: in the middle of July that no one wants to
- 31:43Speaker 1: talk about. Like, literally, no one else is talking about
- 31:46Speaker 1: the Jaguars in July, just me and Chad because we're
- 31:48Speaker 1: just stick in the head that way. Yeah, I love
- 31:51Speaker 1: this team for everything that we talked about earlier in
- 31:54Speaker 1: the summer. We're always looking for the ugliest girl in
- 31:58Speaker 1: the bar. It's like running joke. That's like a pro
- 32:00Speaker 1: jokeerre looking for the uthers from the bar that when
- 32:04Speaker 1: they turn the lights on, she's actually when of the
- 32:06Speaker 1: best looking girls in the bar. You just didn't know
- 32:08Speaker 1: it because she didn't look right in the lights. That's
- 32:10Speaker 1: why I feel like the Jaguars are right we're looking
- 32:11Speaker 1: at them. They look gross. They had this weird drafts
- 32:14Speaker 1: these last couple of years. They haven't had a good
- 32:16Speaker 1: coach in last I don't know five years man. When
- 32:20Speaker 1: you strip it all away, you just look on paper.
- 32:22Speaker 1: This team has a ton of talent and it's all
- 32:25Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence. And that's what I'm banking on right now.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I'm looking at Doug Peterson. He found something that Carson
- 32:31Speaker 1: Wentz and no one else has since his middle find right.
- 32:33Speaker 1: He took Carson Wentz in a second year. That's what
- 32:35Speaker 1: I'm open with. Trevor Lawrence a guy that the minute
- 32:38Speaker 1: he stepped on the field when heever whatever was eighth grade,
- 32:41Speaker 1: he never had lost. He didn't lose all went to
- 32:43Speaker 1: college and maybe lost a handful of games in college.
- 32:45Speaker 1: He's just a proven winner. And he got humbled. That's
- 32:48Speaker 1: one of my favorite thing about Trevor Lawrence experiences. He
- 32:51Speaker 1: got humbled last year like they were bad. He was bad,
- 32:54Speaker 1: That whole team was bad. And we now we've just
- 32:57Speaker 1: seen multiple guys talk about now they have a professional
- 32:59Speaker 1: in the building an Doug Peterson. I love. I love
- 33:02Speaker 1: this team so much in the sense that no one
- 33:05Speaker 1: was talking about that months ago. So we were able
- 33:06Speaker 1: to get them at plus nine hundred ten to one
- 33:09Speaker 1: to win this division at one point. Now Fandel has
- 33:11Speaker 1: them down to seven to one eighth to one, shop
- 33:14Speaker 1: around for that number. Um. I love the Jags, love
- 33:18Speaker 1: their over having an eight wins for the season. Again,
- 33:22Speaker 1: when I talk about taking them for the division, being
- 33:24Speaker 1: chatter talking about's all about putting yourself a position to hedge. So,
- 33:27Speaker 1: do I really think they're gonna the division? No, Like
- 33:29Speaker 1: I don't. I do think they're a step behind Tennessee
- 33:31Speaker 1: in the Colts. Do I think these odds are way
- 33:34Speaker 1: too extreme because they were so bad last year? Yes?
- 33:36Speaker 1: So if you if you're like me and you just
- 33:39Speaker 1: believe in the talents there on the Jaguars, which we
- 33:42Speaker 1: all know it is. They've had these high draft picks
- 33:44Speaker 1: and now the new coaching regime can come in and
- 33:46Speaker 1: shake it up, it's kind of a no brainer bet
- 33:48Speaker 1: so to me, you're getting a good plus number of
- 33:51Speaker 1: the over six and a half and for them divisionally,
- 33:53Speaker 1: how can you not bet this team? To me, Simon,
- 33:56Speaker 1: the Jags have a little bit of a Bengals vibe.
- 33:59Speaker 1: You know, there's a comp between Joe Burrow and his development,
- 34:03Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and his development. Doug Peterson, as you've mentioned
- 34:07Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz, we think he's a better coach for
- 34:09Speaker 1: quarterbacks than Zach Taylor is. There's a lot of intriguing
- 34:14Speaker 1: opportunities with this Jack's team. You don't have to take
- 34:18Speaker 1: a full unit at plus seven fifty, take like a
- 34:22Speaker 1: little taste. It's like, it's just worth it to have
- 34:24Speaker 1: skin in the game on this one. Yeah, I love that.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Should we talk about the Houston Texas one with Davis
- 34:31Speaker 1: Mills and four and a half and Lovey Smith as
- 34:34Speaker 1: the new coach, A team that is in disarray and shambles. Yeah,
- 34:40Speaker 1: it'll be quick, don't. I wouldn't do anything for them
- 34:42Speaker 1: this year, but I am excited about their future. Just
- 34:45Speaker 1: a team that means shattered me betting all season, So
- 34:47Speaker 1: it's like, don't don't even have to tie on your
- 34:49Speaker 1: money up in them. They're always gonna be underdogs. And
- 34:52Speaker 1: I just love this team. I love their defense, love
- 34:54Speaker 1: their offense, love Davis Mills. Just it's gonna be a
- 34:57Speaker 1: very fun team for me this season. Ben Houston, But
- 34:59Speaker 1: all our local listeners, don't tire your money up from
- 35:01Speaker 1: this team. Like I bet they're over, but I wouldn't
- 35:04Speaker 1: recommend it any of you. It's just not gonna be fun.
- 35:06Speaker 1: It's just gonna be one of those we're gonna be
- 35:07Speaker 1: sweating into the final week of the season, so I
- 35:09Speaker 1: wouldn't tell anyone to bet it. Just just enjoy Benn
- 35:12Speaker 1: Houston at big plus numbers this season. Look, I can
- 35:15Speaker 1: already tell you right now. We're gonna love the Texans
- 35:17Speaker 1: at plus seven and a half at home against the
- 35:20Speaker 1: Colts in Week one. Easy bet easy, just like we
- 35:25Speaker 1: love Detroit plus four and a half at home against
- 35:28Speaker 1: the Eagles in Week one. It's like, come on, man,
- 35:32Speaker 1: these are no brainers. It doesn't matter if you have
- 35:35Speaker 1: one cheek and three toes. I will be your ressa
- 35:39Speaker 1: I don't like in week one at home Chicago Bears
- 35:42Speaker 1: plus six and a half steps before. But listen, we'll
- 35:45Speaker 1: get into that. We'll get into that the weakest September six,
- 35:48Speaker 1: We're gonna cover it all well, Simon. We cover the
- 35:51Speaker 1: a f C South, we cover the NFC South. We
- 35:53Speaker 1: covered all the teams with nondescript telments that nobody cares
- 35:56Speaker 1: about unless you live in the city limits of those teams.
