- 2:16Speaker 1: and then we made it all back in November because
- 2:18Speaker 1: we are the best sports bettors in the world. I
- 2:19Speaker 1: am Chad Noman from the Action Network Chief Content Officer.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I am joined by my co host, my bff, my companion,
- 2:28Speaker 1: professional better Signment Hunter Man. It's such a different feel
- 2:33Speaker 1: this week than last week. Last week I felt like
- 2:35Speaker 1: chaos with Thanksgiving everything going on this week, it felt
- 2:38Speaker 1: like it's been going on for like a month, just
- 2:39Speaker 1: because there's no holidays, there's nothing going on. It's very
- 2:43Speaker 1: different this week. On a Thursday, Oh, it was one
- 2:46Speaker 1: game to night Chad. Kind of an easy day. Yeah,
- 2:48Speaker 1: buddy of mine, as you know, as you know, and
- 2:52Speaker 1: I'll share this with everybody else and Matt Mitchell knows.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I was in the city on Tuesday, had meetings all
- 2:57Speaker 1: day Tuesday. Woke up Wednesday morning. Uh, did a really
- 3:01Speaker 1: great run through Lower Manhattan. It's always nice to do
- 3:04Speaker 1: a run in Manhattan and like a cool sunny day.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Um got back, took a shower, was eating breakfast. Got
- 3:10Speaker 1: a call that one of the people I was in
- 3:12Speaker 1: a meeting with tested positive for COVID on Wednesday morning.
- 3:16Speaker 1: So I had to shut everything down, leave the city.
- 3:20Speaker 1: I am now. The CDC guidelines say that if you
- 3:24Speaker 1: are vaccinated and you're not showing any symptoms, you can
- 3:27Speaker 1: walk around, wear a mask, you know, take the right precautions,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and then test five to seven days later. That's the
- 3:33Speaker 1: CDC guidelines. Stacy K. Millman guidelines. Come home, don't talk
- 3:39Speaker 1: to anybody, don't even touch the dog. Get the funk upstairs.
- 3:42Speaker 1: So I am ensconced on the third floor, where luckily
- 3:46Speaker 1: we've got a guest bedroom at bathroom in my office.
- 3:48Speaker 1: This morning I woke up and I'm like, fucking bullshit,
- 3:52Speaker 1: Like I can't be held down. Fuck the matriarchy. But
- 3:56Speaker 1: now I'm realizing I don't have to drive anyone anywhere.
- 3:59Speaker 1: I don't have to feed anyone anything. I'm getting my
- 4:01Speaker 1: meals brought to me, and tonight I'm gonna watch the
- 4:05Speaker 1: Knicks Bulls game. And like there's nothing I can do
- 4:08Speaker 1: to be with anybody because my wife refuses to let
- 4:11Speaker 1: me out of the third floor. She's just sliding the
- 4:13Speaker 1: foo uneath the door for you. Basically, she's bringing it
- 4:16Speaker 1: up on a tray, leaving at the top of the steps.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I'm like, fucking Rapunzel. And then like if I come close,
- 4:23Speaker 1: she's like, don't come close, Do not come close to me. Um.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So that's what's happening in our house. Well, we're all
- 4:30Speaker 1: very thankful Chad that you don't have it, or we
- 4:32Speaker 1: don't know yet. We're hoping you don't have it. We're
- 4:34Speaker 1: hoping I don't have it. We're hoping we got a bit.
- 4:37Speaker 1: We got a lot of decisions to make. Uh, let's
- 4:40Speaker 1: see as everybody knows. Uh, it's Thursday, which means we
- 4:45Speaker 1: will narrow down the slate. There's been a lot of
- 4:47Speaker 1: market news. There have been some injury updates, especially in
- 4:50Speaker 1: games that we talked about on Tuesday. We are smashing
- 4:52Speaker 1: it lately. The last five weeks. We went three and two,
- 4:55Speaker 1: four and one, four and one, so eight and two,
- 4:58Speaker 1: eleven and four quick math. But there's a lot of
- 5:01Speaker 1: news going on, so we should probably get to it. Reminder,
- 5:05Speaker 1: our Simon says, bet was the Steelers, but you said
- 5:08Speaker 1: to wait on that, and I do believe it opened
- 5:10Speaker 1: it three and a half. Belief the line might have
- 5:12Speaker 1: gone up a little bit, Yeah, touch four and a half,
- 5:14Speaker 1: a couple of pros that better down to four still
- 5:16Speaker 1: in five four and a half at some books before
- 5:18Speaker 1: we came on. I think it was at um four
- 5:21Speaker 1: four and a half on Fandal. So that line was
- 5:24Speaker 1: gonna keep moving kind of towards the Steelers just because
- 5:27Speaker 1: what it might be out. A couple of guys might
- 5:28Speaker 1: be out for the Steelers. So I told you you'll
- 5:30Speaker 1: get a better number if you just wait on that one.
- 5:32Speaker 1: That was Simon says are FOXHLL was the New York Giants,
- 5:36Speaker 1: of which there is injury news we will discuss, but
- 5:38Speaker 1: before we get to Simon. We recorded on Tuesday. We
- 5:41Speaker 1: posted on Tuesday. Between now and between then and now,
- 5:46Speaker 1: you've probably had calls from our friends, sharp calls, Hello,
- 5:54Speaker 1: who's there? I'm talking? They did. I would say more
- 6:05Speaker 1: of the calls this week were more about the favorites.
- 6:07Speaker 1: We didn't take. A couple of guys comment and said
- 6:09Speaker 1: I was a little too heavy on the dogs, but
- 6:11Speaker 1: I mean that's natural. I love home dogs. We had
- 6:14Speaker 1: some big home dogs. Home dogs, love them, fulfilling that
- 6:17Speaker 1: that Philly post Thanksgiving accent. Home dogs are my john Yo.
- 6:24Speaker 1: I feel like the biggest one I got called about
- 6:26Speaker 1: is people love the Eagles, so they thought you were
- 6:28Speaker 1: getting a good number at six and a half. Again,
- 6:29Speaker 1: I didn't want to touch it because of the Hurts injury.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Apparently he's good to go, he will be playing, so
- 6:34Speaker 1: you can still get that number. A bunch of professionals
- 6:37Speaker 1: have taken that. A bunch of professionals have taken the
- 6:39Speaker 1: Colts at a big number against this Houston team. Interesting,
- 6:44Speaker 1: very interesting, So they liked it. It was at eight
- 6:46Speaker 1: and a half, A couple of them bet that bet
- 6:48Speaker 1: again at nine. Now I'm seeing at nine nine and
- 6:50Speaker 1: a half a couple of books. A lot of the
- 6:52Speaker 1: agreement to for us this week, like we can dive
- 6:55Speaker 1: in all the different games, but they're there with us
- 6:57Speaker 1: about our picks with the Steelers. They they're even about
- 7:00Speaker 1: the Giants, and we can talk with the Giants that
- 7:02Speaker 1: did injury to Daniel Jones. That line shot up only
- 7:04Speaker 1: to five and a half. The pros didn't really care.
- 7:06Speaker 1: They've already been it down a lot of books of
- 7:08Speaker 1: four and a half. Some books you might still find
- 7:09Speaker 1: a five. But that's why it's a little scary bet
- 7:12Speaker 1: earlier in the week. There's a lot of unknowns and
- 7:14Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of line movement. And I
- 7:16Speaker 1: got burned a little the Giants. I took it at
- 7:18Speaker 1: three and a half and it shut all up to
- 7:20Speaker 1: five and a half. So I did take it again.
- 7:21Speaker 1: But that just hurts where you didn't know that there
- 7:24Speaker 1: was a major nick injury to Daniel Jones, and that
- 7:26Speaker 1: was kind of a big news breaker. Why do you
- 7:28Speaker 1: think they're on the egos so heavily. The simple fact
- 7:31Speaker 1: that I don't I don't think they see the Jets,
- 7:34Speaker 1: you know, covering against an Eagles team, that they're better
- 7:37Speaker 1: than they showed against the Giants. I mean that that
- 7:39Speaker 1: was one of those games, or Hurts just beat himself.
- 7:41Speaker 1: The guy had three turnovers. Without those turnovers, that's a
- 7:44Speaker 1: much different closer game. So they probably looked at and said,
- 7:47Speaker 1: you know, you're under. I'm getting under a touchdown with
- 7:49Speaker 1: a playoff team. That's what Again, these professionals we've talked
- 7:52Speaker 1: about all weeks, they've been betting the Eagles. They view
- 7:54Speaker 1: them as a playoff team. That's the simple fact. They
- 7:57Speaker 1: have it as a different metric where they think the
- 7:59Speaker 1: books are the value in them. So they've just been
- 8:01Speaker 1: betting them and it's worked out some weeks. Other weeks
- 8:04Speaker 1: we've seen it. They've just been againting burned by them.
- 8:05Speaker 1: So it's interesting that they're still so committed to this team.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I really had no feel for this, but I'm I'm
- 8:11Speaker 1: in agreement with them that six and a half for
- 8:12Speaker 1: this Eagles team. That's a good number with Hurts playing,
- 8:15Speaker 1: But most books are gonna be at seven. Now, Yeah,
- 8:19Speaker 1: that number is gonna shoot up. Also, I was listening
- 8:21Speaker 1: to the Action Network podcast this morning. Uh Stucky also
- 8:24Speaker 1: loved the Eagles minus six and a half. Just thinks
- 8:29Speaker 1: this Jets team is trash And the truth is, like
- 8:32Speaker 1: Zach Wilson grated out one of the worst quarterbacks in
- 8:35Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, now he is. And that's what that
- 8:38Speaker 1: was so faithful by the Houston game. Houston, they literally
- 8:41Speaker 1: had to lose, like try to lose that game to
- 8:43Speaker 1: lose it, and that's what they pretty much did. So
- 8:45Speaker 1: that's what was so brual, Like you're up fourteen to
- 8:47Speaker 1: three on Zach Wilson, you should be good, but no,
- 8:50Speaker 1: apparently not the Houston Texas. Well, we still owe people
- 8:54Speaker 1: a big balls better the week, which I'm sure we'll
- 8:57Speaker 1: get to today. A reminder for Scoot Roulette, Um, you
- 9:02Speaker 1: were on the Steelers plus three and a half. I
- 9:05Speaker 1: am on the Falcons plus ten and a half. Kind
- 9:09Speaker 1: of aunty about it now, but we're gonna dig into
- 9:12Speaker 1: all that. Let's start. Let's start with, um, we're gonna
- 9:20Speaker 1: touch on Thursday night real quick. I guess we might
- 9:22Speaker 1: as well like a lot of you know, cameras out
- 9:25Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. Starting Tuesday, we were leaning Saints plus four
- 9:29Speaker 1: and a half. Currently, the line is it's actually up
- 9:36Speaker 1: to six right now. And I told people that's why
- 9:39Speaker 1: you waited on that it opened at six. I said
- 9:42Speaker 1: that was the better number. You should just wait because
- 9:43Speaker 1: you already missed that number. Now it's back up to
- 9:45Speaker 1: six and touch six and a half and a couple
- 9:47Speaker 1: of books for a little bit, and they got bet
- 9:49Speaker 1: back down to me. The simple bet here is just
- 9:52Speaker 1: bet the under. I don't really trust Taysom hill Um.
- 9:56Speaker 1: It might he might be three and one towards the
- 9:58Speaker 1: under the last four games he started. Uh, just a
- 10:01Speaker 1: team that plays different when he's at quarterback. They kind
- 10:03Speaker 1: of run the ball more more threard th like three,
- 10:07Speaker 1: third and two is just long drives with this team,
- 10:10Speaker 1: and that's the only way they're gonna be able to
- 10:12Speaker 1: cover and beat this Dallas team. So if I had
- 10:14Speaker 1: a preferred play, I wouldn't take either side anymore. And
- 10:17Speaker 1: I can't feel great about this really banged up Saints team.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And I guess you were getting a better number with Dallas,
- 10:23Speaker 1: but I wouldn't have taken it because I don't really
- 10:25Speaker 1: trust Das either. So for me, if I'm just gonna
- 10:27Speaker 1: make a bet on this game, I'll be on the under.
- 10:29Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the games that we are
- 10:32Speaker 1: going to think about, because I don't think this is
- 10:33Speaker 1: going to be one of our final five. On Tuesday,
- 10:36Speaker 1: the Chargers were at three and a half. The line
- 10:39Speaker 1: has now moved to three and it might get even lower.
- 10:44Speaker 1: So clearly it's a game that we were looking at
- 10:48Speaker 1: and we felt good about with the Chargers. I hope
- 10:50Speaker 1: people were able to get it. What's interesting is that
- 10:53Speaker 1: the line is moving, uh, and the money is and
- 10:58Speaker 1: and the bets are coming in on the Bengals. Yeah,
- 11:01Speaker 1: we talked that was just that was too much this
- 11:03Speaker 1: this number should be three. That's why we're saying the
- 11:05Speaker 1: value was on the three and a half. It's a
- 11:07Speaker 1: true coin flip game. Both quarterbacks have moments of brilliance
- 11:11Speaker 1: and moments of These guys are young, they're just making
- 11:14Speaker 1: a second year of mistakes. So I we again, if
- 11:18Speaker 1: we're just going off the basis, we love the Charges
- 11:23Speaker 1: team because simply because they just got really dominated by
- 11:26Speaker 1: a Denver team and since he just had one of
- 11:28Speaker 1: the best ones of the season. So we we took
- 11:30Speaker 1: that approach. We looked at it that way, and matchup wise,
- 11:34Speaker 1: I like the matchup for this Chargers offense against this
- 11:37Speaker 1: Bengals defense. So every little thing points to me liking
- 11:40Speaker 1: at three and a half. Still don't hate it at three.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That's what we talked about. We just wanted the hook
- 11:44Speaker 1: just because it's a better number. If we wake up
- 11:47Speaker 1: Sunday morning and we're still feeling like we like the
- 11:49Speaker 1: Charges and it's three and a half as our best five,
- 11:52Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate it. But it's just it's just unlikely
- 11:54Speaker 1: because we have other lines we love a little more. Yeah,
- 11:57Speaker 1: the Charges. This this feels like now that we are
- 12:02Speaker 1: back in our rhythm and we are not letting Twitter
- 12:06Speaker 1: get in our head, we are not letting things we've
- 12:08Speaker 1: seen in the field get in our head. We're seeing
- 12:12Speaker 1: the board as clearly as we're beautiful minding this thing right,
- 12:16Speaker 1: Boom boom everywhere, Like it's just they're popping up, taking
- 12:22Speaker 1: a team that just had a bad beat off of
- 12:25Speaker 1: a Bengals team that just dominated their biggest rival. Of
- 12:31Speaker 1: course you're gonna take the Chargers. That alone especial, especially
- 12:36Speaker 1: when you were getting the best number of three and
- 12:37Speaker 1: a half. That's what that's the whole point. It's like,
- 12:41Speaker 1: even when you lose these kind of games. You know
- 12:43Speaker 1: that you've got a good number, and you know that
- 12:44Speaker 1: your reasoningly was sound to take it like this is
- 12:47Speaker 1: again you just said it. This is the Bilo opportunity
- 12:49Speaker 1: on the Chargers. We're not going to talk about the
- 12:51Speaker 1: Lions and the Vikings, Like, I just don't see us
- 12:53Speaker 1: putting the Lions at plus seven. It is that our
- 12:55Speaker 1: final five. We might a lot of pros love that
- 12:59Speaker 1: one them, So I mean we'll talk Sunday about that one. Yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 1: I've had a couple of guys they love that number.
- 13:05Speaker 1: I mean they've been I would say most professionals have
- 13:07Speaker 1: been waiting for that seven and a half, Like they
- 13:10Speaker 1: just think if we keep waiting, the public will keep
- 13:12Speaker 1: betting in Minnesota. The fact that I haven't given to them,
- 13:15Speaker 1: I do think a lot of them think it's interesting
- 13:17Speaker 1: that the book this wipe on the lines of the
- 13:18Speaker 1: books making a stand on and they're saying, no, we're
- 13:21Speaker 1: not giving you that seven and a half. Take the
- 13:22Speaker 1: seven or like the people are doing with the Vikings.
- 13:25Speaker 1: They're just using it down to the one. So I
- 13:28Speaker 1: do think it's an interesting, interesting number. It's uh, I
- 13:32Speaker 1: would say, I I personally have not really touched Detroit's
- 13:36Speaker 1: money line since maybe week two. Like again we had
- 13:39Speaker 1: them week one, we got lucky with the back door.
- 13:41Speaker 1: I also had a decent amount of their money line,
- 13:43Speaker 1: which just let on fire. I kind of took the
- 13:45Speaker 1: view I need to see this team win before I
- 13:46Speaker 1: would touch their money line again. I might actually put
- 13:49Speaker 1: their money line this week. I had a couple of
- 13:51Speaker 1: professionals say they like their money line as well. So
- 13:54Speaker 1: this is uh. One of the more sneakier bets this
- 13:56Speaker 1: week is looking at this Detroit team here because I think,
- 13:59Speaker 1: let me like, what what is the logic here? What
- 14:02Speaker 1: is the math? What is the science other than the
- 14:04Speaker 1: fact is a home dog that hasn't won anything, that
- 14:08Speaker 1: is at a big number against a team that seems
- 14:10Speaker 1: to find ways every week to lose. Those are not
- 14:15Speaker 1: measurable week to week. What we are seeing on the
- 14:20Speaker 1: field is Dan Campbell calling plays, consistently, calling draws on
- 14:24Speaker 1: third and thirty two. A team that consistent yet consistently
- 14:27Speaker 1: gets into scenarios. A quarterback who was really terrible, like
- 14:32Speaker 1: truly awful and maybe playing with an injury, a defensive
- 14:37Speaker 1: secondary that is the worst in the league, um going
- 14:43Speaker 1: against feeling and justin Jefferson with no Dalvin Cook, so
- 14:46Speaker 1: the offense could be wide open. Tell me why, Tell
- 14:50Speaker 1: me why other than it's a big home dog. Professionals
- 14:57Speaker 1: would like this number. I'm not sure. I mean, I'm
- 15:00Speaker 1: with you and everything. I hate to Troy. I think
- 15:02Speaker 1: they're terrible. I think Dank Campbell is not like not
- 15:05Speaker 1: a way and over his head. But like you just said,
- 15:08Speaker 1: a lot of their play calling is so questionable. And
- 15:10Speaker 1: this team, there's certain times you think they're giving up,
- 15:13Speaker 1: but they keep these games close. I think the professor
- 15:15Speaker 1: is looking from the standpoint that Vikings just don't blow
- 15:17Speaker 1: teams out. They play every game close. Detroit plays every
- 15:20Speaker 1: game close for the most part, and metrop wise, everything
- 15:25Speaker 1: you just said so true about this this Vikings offense.
- 15:28Speaker 1: We're also gotta talk with the regressions coming for Kirk Cousins.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has been playing way above his head all season,
- 15:34Speaker 1: and we saw a little bit last week. I mean,
- 15:36Speaker 1: he was just bad on third down. So I think
- 15:39Speaker 1: it's one of those people are banking on the public
- 15:42Speaker 1: is now off of Detroit. People have moved on, and
- 15:45Speaker 1: the book's taking a stand here, leaving this number at
- 15:48Speaker 1: seven like it doesn't make sense. Why isn't moved. I
- 15:50Speaker 1: know for a fact, it's making tea's like crazy. It's
- 15:52Speaker 1: been getting bet like crazy. People are only on this
- 15:55Speaker 1: Minnesota number. It's just sitting there at seven. So if
- 15:58Speaker 1: we if if it's Sunday and it's still sitting there,
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna have to talk into it because that's
- 16:02Speaker 1: such a you gotta you gotta stand with the book there.
- 16:05Speaker 1: The bookmakers are telling you we're taking a stand on
- 16:07Speaker 1: a number. You have to ride with them. They know
- 16:09Speaker 1: what they're doing. That's how they make big money on
- 16:11Speaker 1: the kind of games like this. That's terrible. There's mark
- 16:15Speaker 1: my words, Mark my words. Come Sunday, you will not
- 16:21Speaker 1: convince me to take the lines. If it drops down
- 16:24Speaker 1: a six and a half, I guarantee it. We have
- 16:25Speaker 1: it in. Oh my god, I'm gonna hate this. I'm
- 16:28Speaker 1: gonna hate on Sunday morning so much. The Giants since
- 16:34Speaker 1: we spoke. We liked the Giants at three and a
- 16:36Speaker 1: half when Daniel Jones was the quarterback. Mike Glennan now
- 16:40Speaker 1: the quarterback. The Giant shot up to five and a half.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Immediately get block down to four and a half. We
- 16:45Speaker 1: discussed this before, you know, as we were coming down
- 16:47Speaker 1: the air, still like the Giants here. Can't can't see
- 16:49Speaker 1: any reason why I shouldn't like the Giants. It's a
- 16:52Speaker 1: dolphins like they're riding the crest right now. To talk
- 17:00Speaker 1: about regression is due for regression. He's incredibly accurate right
- 17:03Speaker 1: now that defense has had some really nice games but
- 17:07Speaker 1: also some really lucky breaks. Explained to the people why
- 17:10Speaker 1: we will still love the Giants with Mike lennanin nothing
- 17:14Speaker 1: really changed. We were in bedding because of Daniel jenonals
- 17:16Speaker 1: were bending more so of the Giants defense and their
- 17:18Speaker 1: offensive scheme that this is gonna be a kind of
- 17:20Speaker 1: game that want to keep close. I thought it was
- 17:22Speaker 1: just really interesting that I dropped down to three. No
- 17:24Speaker 1: real reason for the bookmakers have dropped it down they
- 17:26Speaker 1: did from three and a half other than the professional
- 17:28Speaker 1: money coming in. We talked about it. Shot all up
- 17:30Speaker 1: the five and a half the pros. They said, I
- 17:33Speaker 1: don't know why you guys are moving it two and
- 17:35Speaker 1: a half points for Daniel Jones. They better right back
- 17:37Speaker 1: down to four and a half. So I still think
- 17:39Speaker 1: this number might come down to four. I think you
- 17:41Speaker 1: just nailed it. To kind of where the total is
- 17:44Speaker 1: also given away a lot of vibes where it's forty one.
- 17:47Speaker 1: It's it's interesting they made it so low of a
- 17:49Speaker 1: forty one told what they're saying. Both these defenses are
- 17:52Speaker 1: really good. This is gonna be a low scoring, kind
- 17:54Speaker 1: of ugly battle game. And we're getting a lot of
- 17:56Speaker 1: points now with this Giants team and a low total.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Now we're getting four and a half. Not that it
- 18:01Speaker 1: reminds me exactly the game, but last year, Cole McCoy,
- 18:03Speaker 1: you're a good friend. He was on the Shiants team.
- 18:05Speaker 1: They went to Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks were unbelievable last year.
- 18:09Speaker 1: People forget that, and they were really dominating teams at home.
- 18:12Speaker 1: The Giants went up there, I might have been eleven
- 18:14Speaker 1: point dog or a tend at a half point dog
- 18:15Speaker 1: with Cole McCoy and one outright a good defense playing
- 18:19Speaker 1: a team that was due for aggression and that Seahawks
- 18:22Speaker 1: team last year, so kind of the same thing point
- 18:24Speaker 1: you just talked about. This Miami team is just a
- 18:26Speaker 1: little inflated right now. I feel like we're getting an
- 18:28Speaker 1: extra point point and a half off of that, getting
- 18:31Speaker 1: now an extra half a point that they the bookmakers
- 18:34Speaker 1: are giving us kind of because they really downgraded this
- 18:36Speaker 1: team with Daniel Jones being out. But I don't think,
- 18:38Speaker 1: you know, Jones has proven this season to be worth
- 18:40Speaker 1: anything more than a backup. Maybe a half point is fair,
- 18:43Speaker 1: but what does he do game by game to really
- 18:46Speaker 1: be like, Okay, this is the reason the Giants won
- 18:47Speaker 1: this game. It's only happened maybe once this entire season.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Love this. There's nothing that we've discussed so far that
- 18:55Speaker 1: makes me think in the final five. I don't like
- 18:58Speaker 1: the Giants still that five tol what of the fossil.
- 19:02Speaker 1: We haven't gotten to the big balls better the week yet.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I bet we're coming up to it, because we're gonna
- 19:09Speaker 1: talk about the Atlanta Falcons are now eleven point underdogs
- 19:15Speaker 1: at home against the Buccaneers, and we do have a
- 19:17Speaker 1: way for it pros Joe's alerts the bets on the
- 19:29Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the tickets on the Atlanta Falcons.
- 19:35Speaker 1: That's interesting. Again, we talked about just like way too
- 19:37Speaker 1: many points in division on matchup where Tampa Bay is
- 19:40Speaker 1: not fully healthy. Back to back road games, they just
- 19:43Speaker 1: haven't been the same team on the road, and you know,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I saw a crazy stat about Matt Ryan's record against
- 19:50Speaker 1: his Tampa Bay team. It's terrible. His career wise, he's
- 19:53Speaker 1: not been good against them. His career record against Tom
- 19:56Speaker 1: Brady is terrible. I don't think he's ever won a
- 19:59Speaker 1: game outright against Braiding his career, so kind of scary.
- 20:02Speaker 1: I already been on their money line, and I've already
- 20:04Speaker 1: been Atlanta, but kind of just a really weird matchup
- 20:09Speaker 1: for this Campa Bay team. I'm not feeling as good
- 20:12Speaker 1: anymore about the money line because apparently Brady just has
- 20:14Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's number. But eleven points now in divisional game,
- 20:19Speaker 1: maybe there's a trap, but I'll walk into it, like
- 20:21Speaker 1: I have to bet this number. It's it's way too inflated.
- 20:24Speaker 1: If this was nine, maybe you'd have me start thinking
- 20:26Speaker 1: a little bit about Tampa. But you're across the key
- 20:30Speaker 1: number in ten time and a half. We gotta we
- 20:32Speaker 1: gotta take we gotta take Atlanta here. Yeah, it's a
- 20:34Speaker 1: really big number. The one thing that scares me is
- 20:37Speaker 1: um Atlanta's defense is terrible. Their defensive line is terrible,
- 20:42Speaker 1: their pass rush is terrible. Well, Tom Brady just be
- 20:45Speaker 1: able to stand there for forty four years and pick
- 20:47Speaker 1: apart this defense and every single time unless Atlanta scores
- 20:51Speaker 1: every time, if Matt Ryan does what he usually does,
- 20:54Speaker 1: which is throw a stupid pick or you know, they
- 20:56Speaker 1: have a stupid fumble or whatever it is, that's the
- 21:00Speaker 1: delta between fourteen and twenty one. And that's what this
- 21:03Speaker 1: game could be the entire game. Now we're gonna need luck.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I mean, that's what burned us. We bet this earlier
- 21:08Speaker 1: in the season. It was, I believe, but the Atlanta
- 21:13Speaker 1: had the ball, like you just talked about, Matt Ryan
- 21:16Speaker 1: threw a pick six, then they went three and out.
- 21:19Speaker 1: In the Tampa Bay scored i think two more touchdowns
- 21:21Speaker 1: in a row. So that that is definitely the back
- 21:23Speaker 1: of my mind. We we're open the trends that's been
- 21:26Speaker 1: good to us this year. It keeps going, which is
- 21:28Speaker 1: Brady fading Brady on the road and obviously didn't work
- 21:30Speaker 1: out last week for us, But I mean, that was
- 21:33Speaker 1: that was insane. Lenny running that touchdown and that that
- 21:36Speaker 1: was that was one of those usually we're gonna cover
- 21:38Speaker 1: that number. So again, if you're back in Tampa Bay,
- 21:42Speaker 1: you're you're in the same standpoint as they went back
- 21:44Speaker 1: in Atlanta. You're gonna need some weird bounce to go
- 21:46Speaker 1: your way at the end of this game to cover
- 21:47Speaker 1: that number. Like you just talked about Matt Matt Ryan
- 21:50Speaker 1: is it's scary having this pig of a number with him. Oh. So,
- 21:53Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna make sound
- 21:57Speaker 1: professional decisions. The sound professional decision is to take the
- 22:03Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons as huge home underdogs. It is the sound
- 22:10Speaker 1: professional decision as the Colts visit the Texans is to
- 22:16Speaker 1: take the Colts plus ten. That Texans were eight and
- 22:20Speaker 1: a half on Tuesday. We liked it. I know you've
- 22:23Speaker 1: said you've gotten some reports that a lot of professionals
- 22:28Speaker 1: coming in on the Colts. The amount of money and
- 22:30Speaker 1: the amount of tickets on the Colts percent of the
- 22:35Speaker 1: money coming in on the Colts. That tells me that
- 22:37Speaker 1: there's professional money and public money on the Colts. What
- 22:43Speaker 1: are they seeing that we're not seeing that we would
- 22:45Speaker 1: do what is professional. They probably just loved the aspect
- 22:50Speaker 1: of the Colts play with ball control. This this is
- 22:52Speaker 1: the team that can dominate the run again, Carson, last week,
- 22:57Speaker 1: that was I think I said at five terms. I
- 22:59Speaker 1: met the cold today of mean cars fon firsonally, but
- 23:02Speaker 1: they're up twenty four to one. Last week, he had
- 23:04Speaker 1: a strip sack, Brady goes down and scores a touchdown.
- 23:06Speaker 1: He comes back, he throws a pick. He just had
- 23:08Speaker 1: three turnovers in the game. Is pretty much why the
- 23:11Speaker 1: Colts didn't win it. So I think pros are looking, Okay,
- 23:14Speaker 1: he's not gonna have that kind of game again against Houston.
- 23:17Speaker 1: And this is a big number for Houston to cover.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Where Taylor has played well since he's been back, but
- 23:22Speaker 1: he's just one man and we've seen it where he
- 23:24Speaker 1: hasn't really be able to carry this offense. Like he's
- 23:26Speaker 1: not a superstar, he's just a average, below average kind
- 23:29Speaker 1: of quarterback. So I think they're looking at the standpoint
- 23:33Speaker 1: that this Houston team, if they're getting under they're getting
- 23:36Speaker 1: under ten with the like again, the line was eight
- 23:38Speaker 1: and a half, it was nine nine a half. It's
- 23:40Speaker 1: still some books they probably just gonna have the ten
- 23:43Speaker 1: is the key number. So they're saying this cold team
- 23:46Speaker 1: one of the top teams in the a f C,
- 23:48Speaker 1: a team that's that's gonna make the playoffs, most likely
- 23:51Speaker 1: playing against the Houston team that's gonna have, you know,
- 23:53Speaker 1: a top three, top four pick. Well they won't because
- 23:56Speaker 1: they traded away. But um, I get what they're they're
- 24:01Speaker 1: looking at. We're like me and you, naturally we want
- 24:03Speaker 1: to take Houston. I will be taking Houston. This gets
- 24:05Speaker 1: a ten time a half. Nothing's changed. I'm still I
- 24:08Speaker 1: still like Houston. It's just gonna make me pause or
- 24:11Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be putting a decent amount of money
- 24:13Speaker 1: on this because of respect for these pros. Of pros
- 24:16Speaker 1: coming on big favorite, they have a good red on
- 24:18Speaker 1: that game. As Ali G says, respect alright, I don't
- 24:28Speaker 1: know that the way you describe it, I don't know
- 24:30Speaker 1: that the Texans maker of Final five, we won't get
- 24:33Speaker 1: a good number that numbers. That number is not gonna
- 24:35Speaker 1: be what we wanted to be. Right, It's an eight
- 24:37Speaker 1: and a half in the contest, probably because it locks
- 24:39Speaker 1: on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's already getting up to ten.
- 24:42Speaker 1: It could go higher. So let's tre a couple of games. Like,
- 24:45Speaker 1: we've got four or five more games to walk through here,
- 24:47Speaker 1: and I think it's important. It's a little more than
- 24:49Speaker 1: we usually have. It's cut check time. The Bears are
- 24:52Speaker 1: eight point dogs at home against Kyler Murray coming back.
- 24:54Speaker 1: I guess Cliff Kingsbury, who won't deny that he might
- 24:58Speaker 1: go to Oklahoma A home team getting a massive amount
- 25:01Speaker 1: of points. This sets up to be take the Bears.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I take the Bears? No? I hate this.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I hate that like we have to do it. I
- 25:10Speaker 1: don't want to it all though, like I usually i'd
- 25:14Speaker 1: be pounding this one like I would be the same
- 25:16Speaker 1: view as Detroit or the same view as Houston. Um,
- 25:19Speaker 1: because I now I'm getting a better number. But the
- 25:21Speaker 1: more I break down film on this that the fear
- 25:23Speaker 1: is if Arizona gets up two touchdowns, I don't know
- 25:26Speaker 1: how the Bears get back like they just naggy is
- 25:29Speaker 1: just has no imagination with the offense, and it's hard
- 25:32Speaker 1: to see how they put up points to keep up
- 25:33Speaker 1: with this Arizona team. So so one of those I'll
- 25:36Speaker 1: just wait on and I'll hope that maybe you guys
- 25:38Speaker 1: will have weather in Chicago, and then I'll be all
- 25:40Speaker 1: in on the Bears. If this is a running ball
- 25:42Speaker 1: control kind of game, I love the Bears. That's this
- 25:44Speaker 1: is the perfect stop for their offense. But there's no
- 25:48Speaker 1: real weather. It's a nice day in Chicago. Tyler Murray
- 25:51Speaker 1: doesn't have really worry about the elements. It's gonna be
- 25:53Speaker 1: It's gonna be a route probably for this Cardinals team.
- 25:55Speaker 1: They're just they have one of the best records of
- 25:57Speaker 1: football for a reason. This team is legit. They've been
- 26:00Speaker 1: winning games with Colt McCoy. Now you're getting arguably the
- 26:02Speaker 1: m VP back. It's a big upgrade. But we're just
- 26:06Speaker 1: hoping for weather because he's gonna be rusty. He's not
- 26:08Speaker 1: gonna want to be out there in the cold. Everything
- 26:10Speaker 1: is just it's really depending on the home field advantage
- 26:13Speaker 1: for this Bears team. That's why we, like you just said,
- 26:15Speaker 1: we want to take this number. This is a really
- 26:17Speaker 1: good number for a home team that they liked the
- 26:19Speaker 1: elements so well, we'll wait and see on this one.
- 26:22Speaker 1: What the Bear is gonna need, Matt Mitchell, they are
- 26:27Speaker 1: going to need to bear down hit it. Raven Steelers
- 26:44Speaker 1: like we got to talk about it. The line has
- 26:47Speaker 1: moved from three and a half. It did exactly what
- 26:49Speaker 1: you said it would. You said, wait for this number,
- 26:52Speaker 1: it's gonna move. It went up to four and a
- 26:55Speaker 1: half in some places. Still waiting on t J. Watten News,
- 26:58Speaker 1: We're expecting Joe Hayden to be back. I wonder what
- 27:01Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin is going to say about that. I'm gonna
- 27:03Speaker 1: look at Too Real close today to see if you
- 27:05Speaker 1: highly conditioned, they're ready to go, you know what I mean,
- 27:08Speaker 1: And if you're not, I'm gonna put you in the news.
- 27:10Speaker 1: You got a Ravens team that beat up a Browns
- 27:12Speaker 1: team in in prime time, even though it was ugly.
- 27:15Speaker 1: You got a Steelers team that just got throttled with
- 27:18Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger looking almost like a hundred year old man.
- 27:21Speaker 1: When is this game not close? When is the Steelers
- 27:24Speaker 1: Ravens game not a three point game? I'm so glad
- 27:27Speaker 1: you came around. That's the exact mentality you need for
- 27:29Speaker 1: this matchup, Chad. You just throw out all you throw
- 27:31Speaker 1: it all out. It doesn't matter. Lamar was havingn m
- 27:34Speaker 1: v P season and the Steelers were not good that year.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Their games are close there, It's just always close between
- 27:39Speaker 1: these teams. Historically, Lamar has been terrible against this Pittsburgh's team.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has always schemed up very well against Lamar. So
- 27:48Speaker 1: nothing changed. I love the number, so happy and moved up.
- 27:52Speaker 1: I was really happy to get at some books to
- 27:54Speaker 1: touch five at one point. I love that you nailed it.
- 27:58Speaker 1: We have to take Pittsburgh here as a home divisional
- 28:00Speaker 1: dog against the team where Lamar's had multiple interviews. Now
- 28:04Speaker 1: we talked about being six affected him. He doesn't feel
- 28:07Speaker 1: that he has the same strength. He isn't like he
- 28:09Speaker 1: says he was tired at the end of the game,
- 28:10Speaker 1: which has never really happened for him. It's only happened
- 28:13Speaker 1: when he came back from COVID. I know that wasn't
- 28:15Speaker 1: co related. He was just sick. Uh the other week.
- 28:18Speaker 1: You guys just had major stuff going on though. He
- 28:20Speaker 1: just hasn't been consistent. He hasn't been a practice consistent.
- 28:23Speaker 1: It's gonna catch up to him. And you know, you
- 28:26Speaker 1: really did nail on the head. It's if this is
- 28:29Speaker 1: If it's three, If it's more than three, like we
- 28:31Speaker 1: were talking three and a half, we would have taken it.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Now it's four and a half. Now it's four, we
- 28:35Speaker 1: still love it. We're still gonna take it. So nothing changed.
- 28:38Speaker 1: We're gonna be on Pittsburgh this Sunday. Great stats that
- 28:41Speaker 1: I'm cribbing from Stuckey on the Action Network podcast. Since
- 28:44Speaker 1: John Harbad joined the team in two thousand eight. In
- 28:48Speaker 1: this series, thirteen and thirteen in the regular season average
- 28:52Speaker 1: margin of one. Twenty of the twenty six games decided
- 28:56Speaker 1: by one possession, seventeen and decided four or last four
- 29:01Speaker 1: have gone into overtime. Faves of three or more in
- 29:04Speaker 1: this series one thirteen and two against the spread. Read
- 29:09Speaker 1: that one more time. Faves of three or more are
- 29:11Speaker 1: one thirteen and two in this series. Those little secrets
- 29:14Speaker 1: that your boy had, I don't. I can't believe Stuck
- 29:16Speaker 1: gave it out. That's an old old school pros pros nos.
- 29:19Speaker 1: So that's funny you give that out. Yeah, I didn't
- 29:21Speaker 1: want to dive in too much of That's why it
- 29:22Speaker 1: was gonna be my biggest bets. You just everyone knows
- 29:25Speaker 1: that number. You always take that, so that that's that's
- 29:27Speaker 1: great Stucky gave it out. But that's one of those
- 29:29Speaker 1: I keep for myself. Wow, look at you. It's just
- 29:32Speaker 1: a good secret. That's like, you just don't want the
- 29:34Speaker 1: public to know those kind of numbers because that the
- 29:36Speaker 1: public maybe next year that will remember that and they
- 29:37Speaker 1: will come in heavy on the dog in this matchup.
- 29:39Speaker 1: I love it every time. It just flip flops whoever
- 29:42Speaker 1: it is the dog that year you take it. It's
- 29:44Speaker 1: greater than three and a half. It's I'm not a genius.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I just keep it simple. Stupid is not that smart.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Broncos visiting the Chiefs. This game has come down. It
- 29:54Speaker 1: was at ten, now it's a nine and a half.
- 29:56Speaker 1: I think we still like the Broncos. Here we go.
- 30:00Speaker 1: It's like it's weighing on me though I told you
- 30:02Speaker 1: I I just was not gonna be happy betting it
- 30:04Speaker 1: because I just don't know what's up with Teddy. But Teddy,
- 30:07Speaker 1: Teddy Covers is a dog, divisional dog. We're gonna be
- 30:10Speaker 1: taking it. And I saw they might have a little bit.
- 30:12Speaker 1: They might have a chance of snow as well in
- 30:14Speaker 1: this game, which heavily slants towards Denver. Denver is a
- 30:18Speaker 1: run first kind of team, so that might be the
- 30:21Speaker 1: reason the numbers come down, just because that's what the
- 30:23Speaker 1: pros are bedding on. Because other than that, you just wait.
- 30:26Speaker 1: No one knows what's going on with Teddy. So I mean,
- 30:30Speaker 1: it's interesting the numbers dropped. I'm like, looking at it
- 30:32Speaker 1: right now, that's that's that is weird. It's moved down.
- 30:34Speaker 1: But some of might I know something. Some of myight
- 30:36Speaker 1: know Teddy is full go. I just I don't have
- 30:39Speaker 1: word yet if he is gonna be definitely starting the Sunday.
- 30:41Speaker 1: So you want to wait until we know I did
- 30:44Speaker 1: take it. I mean, if you can still grab a ten,
- 30:46Speaker 1: you're here in this, Yeah, grab it just for a
- 30:47Speaker 1: little bit. They can buy out. Um if he's out,
- 30:50Speaker 1: because we talked about there's I don't care. If it's
- 30:52Speaker 1: number seventeen. I'm not taking Drew Lock. He's horrible. Oh
- 30:56Speaker 1: my god, forget Drew Lock. It's a lock. We're not
- 30:59Speaker 1: taking Drew Lock. That's where it is. Yeah. If it's
- 31:02Speaker 1: third and two and he just needs a completion, I
- 31:04Speaker 1: don't trust the kid and Bill throughout three yards, not
- 31:06Speaker 1: even close. I assume I have a feeling we're coming
- 31:10Speaker 1: up to Patriots and Bills, big balls better the week.
- 31:20Speaker 1: The Bills make me throw your hand on something to
- 31:25Speaker 1: throw your hand back. Now the Bills. I'm making it happen.
- 31:30Speaker 1: People hate this bet chat hearing it from everywhere. Everyone
- 31:33Speaker 1: hates it. Professionals around the Patriots, the public on the Patriots.
- 31:37Speaker 1: What a gift, What a gift forgetting here with the Bills.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Explain it to me. It was minus two and a half,
- 31:42Speaker 1: which was a treat. Now it's back up to minus three.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Mac has been great. I got no doubt that's Mac
- 31:49Speaker 1: Jones right now. He's a witch nipple quarterback. Now we've
- 31:54Speaker 1: hit the two high level of the hype. We've got
- 31:56Speaker 1: people posting tickets to them, been on him, m VP
- 31:58Speaker 1: of the league. We got just everyone's all in on.
- 32:01Speaker 1: People are posting stats of him with Brady, like him
- 32:03Speaker 1: against Brady in their first seven games, and how he's
- 32:05Speaker 1: been better than Brady. Even the NFL is a completely
- 32:08Speaker 1: different game two years ago, So it's it's hit that level.
- 32:14Speaker 1: You're not hearing anything about the Bills. If anything we're
- 32:17Speaker 1: hearing about the Bills is just negative stuff about how
- 32:18Speaker 1: they don't match up all against his Patriots team. I
- 32:21Speaker 1: love it. I love it so much that, like I
- 32:24Speaker 1: we don't. We usually don't do Mondays. I like being
- 32:25Speaker 1: over by Sunday. We might consider this one, like we might,
- 32:29Speaker 1: I might have to play this one, but I completely
- 32:31Speaker 1: have this in our final five right now. You are
- 32:34Speaker 1: You have loved this from the beginning, And what I
- 32:37Speaker 1: know is when you love something as much as you
- 32:40Speaker 1: love this, I don't ask questions. I'm just like, all right,
- 32:43Speaker 1: we're going with it. No, No, you always ask questions.
- 32:45Speaker 1: That's why I love you, wanna That's when I immediately,
- 32:56Speaker 1: when I saw this line, I knew that it was
- 32:59Speaker 1: just gonna be all Patriots money, and I knew it
- 33:01Speaker 1: was gonna be a primetime game and they're gonna be
- 33:03Speaker 1: on the road as a dog, and that's just not
- 33:06Speaker 1: where you want to be. As it better. Um, the
- 33:08Speaker 1: books know what they're doing here. So it is interesting
- 33:11Speaker 1: that it touched down to two and a half because
- 33:13Speaker 1: they're that that means the books needed some bills money, honestly.
- 33:17Speaker 1: But then it went back up in a couple of minutes.
- 33:18Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, now they're they're just testing the
- 33:21Speaker 1: water to see what the professionals are doing. The professionals
- 33:23Speaker 1: came in heavy on the two and a half, so
- 33:24Speaker 1: nothing's changed. We still love the bills of minus three.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Did you get the two and a half? Yeah, but
- 33:29Speaker 1: not for a lot. It's gonna take me, you know,
- 33:32Speaker 1: forty five minutes to either get to fill or get
- 33:34Speaker 1: the e C. So I couldn't get on it quick enough.
- 33:37Speaker 1: But if nothing's changed, I'm still waiting a little bit
- 33:39Speaker 1: because I'm hoping the pub will keep betting it down
- 33:42Speaker 1: because again we talked about the time the public is
- 33:44Speaker 1: gonna be putting this in teasers. They're gonna be putting
- 33:46Speaker 1: the Patriots money line and money line parlays like this
- 33:48Speaker 1: will be They just like this number a lot, So
- 33:50Speaker 1: they're gonna be keep betting this number all weekend. So
- 33:52Speaker 1: I do think you could get lucky. It could touch
- 33:54Speaker 1: back down to two and a half. Yea. Well, it
- 33:56Speaker 1: was also the fact that it's the Monday and night game.
- 33:58Speaker 1: People are gonna be chasing, right. Oh yeah, I love that. Well, listen,
- 34:03Speaker 1: that was our big balls better the week. I think
- 34:08Speaker 1: we're we're zeroing in on Giants, Falcons, Steelers, Broncos, Bills.
- 34:14Speaker 1: If you asked me right now, I'd say that it's
- 34:19Speaker 1: very possible we take the Broncos out on Sunday and
- 34:22Speaker 1: put in the Chargers. That's probably to me the biggest
- 34:26Speaker 1: question mark, depending on Teddy. It's also possible we could
- 34:29Speaker 1: feel better about the Chargers than the Falcons, but I
- 34:32Speaker 1: think we feel good about the Giants, the Steelers, and
- 34:35Speaker 1: the Bills. And again, we didn't touch on a couple
- 34:38Speaker 1: of pros like just In case people are wondering about
- 34:40Speaker 1: it was that Washington number. A couple of different pros
- 34:43Speaker 1: I've talked to have hit that Washington number. That's why
- 34:46Speaker 1: it's just been sitting there. I think the books are
- 34:48Speaker 1: happy where it's at. They'll let the public keep betting
- 34:50Speaker 1: the Raiders and the pros will come in, they'll keep
- 34:53Speaker 1: taking Washington. So I don't have a great feel personally
- 34:56Speaker 1: for that game. I will, you know, eventually, probably end
- 34:58Speaker 1: up back back and this Washington team. I was just
- 35:01Speaker 1: hoping for a three, but it might not get there,
- 35:03Speaker 1: just because the professionals. Anytime it's touched it, I've just
- 35:06Speaker 1: pounded it. So it's one of those half um even
- 35:09Speaker 1: on the fence, I would not go with. Vegas Raiders
- 35:12Speaker 1: have been sitting at two and a half. Yeah, all week.
- 35:15Speaker 1: All week, They're getting all the bets. So the fact
- 35:18Speaker 1: that it hasn't moved it is a pretty good indication
- 35:20Speaker 1: of how professionals are feeling about this and what the
- 35:22Speaker 1: bookmakers know will happen. And now a word from our
- 35:29Speaker 1: friends at Fandel. The NFL playoff race is heating up

- 37:22Speaker 1: back to the show. Let's get to the money line. Parlay.
- 37:25Speaker 1: A lot of ugly dogs out there heartbroken about the Saints.
- 37:28Speaker 1: I really wanted to put that man. It's always fun
- 37:30Speaker 1: starting one of these things off on Thursday night. But
- 37:33Speaker 1: just don't. Just don't see how this team is gonna
- 37:35Speaker 1: win now with all the guys that have out on offense,
- 37:38Speaker 1: it's Kamar both their offensive tackles. They're starting Taysom Hill,
- 37:41Speaker 1: who hasn't played in weeks. Um I just don't like
- 37:44Speaker 1: the vibe. So I'll stay away from the Thursday. Let's
- 37:47Speaker 1: go to the Sunday slate for our money line round Robin.
- 37:51Speaker 1: People are gonna hate it, but we gotta do it.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Giants with the backup quarterback on the road, love it. Lines.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Haven't won a game yet this year. I'm ben it
- 38:01Speaker 1: this week. I know Chad aides it. I'm doing it.
- 38:03Speaker 1: It's it feels like it's that week. No one's gonna
- 38:06Speaker 1: be doing it. That's why we should be doing it.
- 38:08Speaker 1: But it has felt every single week like the lines
- 38:10Speaker 1: of the team. I could see it. I could see it.
- 38:13Speaker 1: I could see it. And this is the week where
- 38:15Speaker 1: nobody can just been so bad. Yeah, you see what
- 38:19Speaker 1: I'm coming from. Now, that's why we have to do it.
- 38:21Speaker 1: So we got Giants lines, me and Chad touch and
- 38:24Speaker 1: I like the Chargers. I know it's short now, it's
- 38:26Speaker 1: only down to UM plus one fifty. Still like it.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Still think you're getting ge value in the amount. Run Robin,
- 38:33Speaker 1: stay away from the Jaguars. I'll be doing that one personally.
- 38:36Speaker 1: You can stay away. I'll throw that out Washington football team.
- 38:39Speaker 1: They're a short one too. This feels safe though. Plus
- 38:43Speaker 1: and the capitalut How do we not go Stealers the Ravens.
- 38:48Speaker 1: That feels like a great fifth option there. So if
- 38:51Speaker 1: you if you're looking for a juice here one I'm
- 38:53Speaker 1: I am doing the Chargers, I mean not Chargers, the
- 38:55Speaker 1: Jaguars because something to me just feels wrong with Stafford.
- 38:59Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna be in that number. They might
- 39:01Speaker 1: lose by thirty points. This is the perfect time for
- 39:03Speaker 1: this Rams team to get right against a bad team.
- 39:07Speaker 1: At the same time, Stafford is bad. This guy is
- 39:09Speaker 1: bad right now. Me and Chad we did not trust
- 39:11Speaker 1: him coming to the year. We talked all summer about
- 39:13Speaker 1: professionals coming in on them. We just stayed away from it.
- 39:16Speaker 1: We did not trust this Rams team. It looks like
- 39:19Speaker 1: we might be right. Stafford just might not be that
- 39:21Speaker 1: kind of guy. So I will be taking this this
- 39:24Speaker 1: Jaguars team. But I'm not making people do it. I
- 39:26Speaker 1: told people on the show, I will not force in
- 39:28Speaker 1: my Jaguars bets anymore. So I get if you don't
- 39:31Speaker 1: want in your round robin. Well, look, you should explain
- 39:33Speaker 1: to people though, because it is interesting. You bet high dollars,
- 39:38Speaker 1: high volume. The NFL season is your work season, so
- 39:43Speaker 1: you're going to bet every game and a lot of
- 39:46Speaker 1: the derivatives in every single game, money lines, totals, first
- 39:49Speaker 1: halfs whatever it is, um sides. It's not like your
- 39:54Speaker 1: love with every bet you make. And Sean Zarrillo, the
- 39:58Speaker 1: baseball antist for the Action Network, talks about this all
- 40:01Speaker 1: the time. You know, he models every single baseball game.
- 40:03Speaker 1: If he can find a tiny one percent edge, a
- 40:06Speaker 1: two percent edge from his model versus what the odds
- 40:10Speaker 1: are showing, that is worth making a bet on because
- 40:13Speaker 1: in the long term those are r o I positive.
- 40:15Speaker 1: So to you when you're saying I'm throwing the Jaguars
- 40:18Speaker 1: in there, I don't love the Jaguars, but at this number,
- 40:21Speaker 1: with what I'm seeing on the other side, it's a
- 40:22Speaker 1: combination of player performance and math. The value is there.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you expected to win, but you expect in
- 40:29Speaker 1: the long term to win those bets more often than
- 40:32Speaker 1: you lose them, and that's why you decide to do that.
- 40:36Speaker 1: I never in my wilder streams how this Jaguars team
- 40:38Speaker 1: was ever going to beat the Bills. But I had
- 40:40Speaker 1: been modeled at nine. They were giving me I think
- 40:42Speaker 1: it was thirteen. That's four points. That's an extra plus
- 40:44Speaker 1: one fifty plus two hundred on the moneyline as well.
- 40:47Speaker 1: So that's that's what Chad's pretty much breaking down there.
- 40:49Speaker 1: It's like I don't believe it either. I mean, that's
- 40:52Speaker 1: that's the biggest issue I think we were run into,
- 40:54Speaker 1: is they think they know the football is one of
- 40:56Speaker 1: the most random games. That's why I feel like we
- 40:58Speaker 1: all love it. It's any given Sundays, the saying you
- 41:00Speaker 1: really never know. Um, So that's how I feel about
- 41:03Speaker 1: the Jaguars team. There's no scenari I have seen this
- 41:05Speaker 1: team winning. Trevor Lawrence, he looks lost right now. There there,
- 41:09Speaker 1: they're coaching staff there, there were like we joked about
- 41:12Speaker 1: they might be a Notre Dame or wherever comes Sunday.
- 41:15Speaker 1: So it's a lot of drama going to Jaguars. But
- 41:18Speaker 1: just on paper, yeah, I love the matchup. This is
- 41:21Speaker 1: way too many points for a Ramps team that they
- 41:23Speaker 1: have not proven to be worthy of being favored by
- 41:26Speaker 1: thirteen points at home against the Jaguars. And that's not
- 41:28Speaker 1: a terribles people think they are. So it's it's gross,
- 41:31Speaker 1: but that's what we do here. We hold our nose
- 41:33Speaker 1: and we take these bets. I don't love the randomness.
- 41:35Speaker 1: The randomness makes me sick. And every single time there's
- 41:38Speaker 1: a holding call, a pass, interference call, an interception, a
- 41:42Speaker 1: draw run for a touchdown from eighty yards to end
- 41:47Speaker 1: a half and kill your fucking total, that makes me
- 41:50Speaker 1: want to quarantine myself. No. I mean, I try not
- 41:54Speaker 1: to be too much on the reps here because people
- 41:55Speaker 1: probably get sick of that. But this year it's it's
- 41:59Speaker 1: been it's been really bad. It's really egregious. Yeah, So
- 42:04Speaker 1: I do think there areguing major changes coming down the future,
- 42:07Speaker 1: just because of all the money that the NFL is
- 42:09Speaker 1: taking in with sports betting. Now, all right, let's do
- 42:12Speaker 1: a seviva. Where are savva the survivor pool pick of
- 42:18Speaker 1: the week. The biggest ones are stay aways at this point,
- 42:28Speaker 1: where where we're gonna tell people to stay away from?
- 42:30Speaker 1: I would stay away from the vikings. The fact that
- 42:32Speaker 1: so many professionals have talked to me about betting Detroit's
- 42:34Speaker 1: money line. I haven't heard it all season, honestly, Like
- 42:38Speaker 1: they were on the barriers last week money line against them,
- 42:40Speaker 1: they didn't they've heard of the stat that I think
- 42:42Speaker 1: it was what twelve and oh road favorites against the
- 42:45Speaker 1: lines on the money line, So stay away from the Vikings.
- 42:49Speaker 1: I just don't like it. Matroplies this week. If you
- 42:53Speaker 1: have it, Colts Texans feels like a safe one. We're
- 42:56Speaker 1: Renny talked about Brady's career. I don't think he's ever
- 42:58Speaker 1: lost to Matt Ryan, but in years feel pretty safe. Man.
- 43:03Speaker 1: I would stay away from RAMS. I know it's a
- 43:06Speaker 1: big number and some people might been waiting to use
- 43:08Speaker 1: a RAMS this position. I just can't do it. Just
- 43:10Speaker 1: their mojo is so bad right now. I don't trust it.
- 43:13Speaker 1: But if you're stuck and you have to, I get it.
- 43:17Speaker 1: The RAMS then their percentage wise, they have over seventy
- 43:20Speaker 1: eight percent chance winning straight up against this Jaguars team,
- 43:24Speaker 1: So besides Tampa Bay, that's the best odds right now
- 43:28Speaker 1: to win straight off. You're never judging, And what I
- 43:32Speaker 1: mean by that is I get why you're doing it.
- 43:34Speaker 1: I understand. I can't hate on you for it. You
- 43:36Speaker 1: want to take the RAMS, I know why. I get it.
- 43:40Speaker 1: It's never like you idiot, how could you do that.
- 43:44Speaker 1: I'm just trying to warn people because it's like I've
- 43:46Speaker 1: been there. I know the feeling where it feels too good.
- 43:48Speaker 1: To be true. And that's that's just my fear of
- 43:50Speaker 1: this RAMS one. I know a couple of guys who
- 43:52Speaker 1: have been saving the RAMS just for this week, but
- 43:54Speaker 1: I just would not do. I just have bad feeling
- 43:56Speaker 1: about it. Oh in chiefs Andy Redolfs bye week. So
- 44:00Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is. Sixteen and eleven against
- 44:03Speaker 1: the spread, or straight up sixteen or eleven against the spread.
- 44:08Speaker 1: That's that's what that's what quit your day job numbers. Though.
- 44:11Speaker 1: That's a good number. It is true. So yeah, it's
- 44:13Speaker 1: against the spread. I'm assuming straight up those records prettydamn good.
- 44:17Speaker 1: So me and Chad we got burned in this exact
- 44:19Speaker 1: situation against this Denver team is a double digit underdog.
- 44:22Speaker 1: So I'm not going to recommend anyone, alright. So look,
- 44:26Speaker 1: if you've got you know, if you're thinking about Tampa,
- 44:30Speaker 1: cults are Tampa. That's what it feels like. You've got.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Cults are Tampa. Those are your choices. Stay away from
- 44:34Speaker 1: the Rams, stay away from the vikings, all right, quick
- 44:37Speaker 1: upday for you guys. The Action Network just launched a
