- 1:27Speaker 1: Volume Podcast Network. I am Chad Millman, Chief Content Officer
- 1:32Speaker 1: of the Action Network. I am joined by my co host,
- 1:36Speaker 1: my bff, my companion, my compadre, professional better Diamond Hunter.
- 1:43Speaker 1: We winners Buddy Week three wrapped three and two, eleven
- 1:49Speaker 1: and four in the contest. That's the gold, Buddy. Life
- 1:53Speaker 1: is good when you can start a year off and
- 1:55Speaker 1: not lose for a month to start the season, and
- 1:57Speaker 1: now we're gonna moving October September. Is in fact that
- 2:01Speaker 1: we won every week, I can ask for a better
- 2:02Speaker 1: start the gear chat. That's the that's the ultimate goal,
- 2:05Speaker 1: especially because what we're just building up opinions and data
- 2:07Speaker 1: right now like this this is hopefully we'll just get
- 2:10Speaker 1: better as we go along here, but can't can't start
- 2:13Speaker 1: any better again every weekend the goal is three and two.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Lucky for us, we started five and oh week one,
- 2:18Speaker 1: so our numbers are pumped up right now. Opinions and data.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Opinions and data. God, that is a great way to
- 2:25Speaker 1: describe it. As a reminder. We had the Bengals, we
- 2:29Speaker 1: had Washington. That one was a stinker, never close, wrong
- 2:33Speaker 1: side from the beginning, kind of a bummer we had
- 2:36Speaker 1: the Colts started out great, made us a little nervous,
- 2:41Speaker 1: and then they remembered they were the Colts and they
- 2:43Speaker 1: at least close it out with a win. I still
- 2:46Speaker 1: have no faith in this team long term, but that
- 2:47Speaker 1: was the right spot. We had the Jags never a sweat,
- 2:52Speaker 1: wouldn't have been a sweat at any number. We loved
- 2:54Speaker 1: him from the beginning. And we had New England three
- 2:56Speaker 1: and a half against the Ravens. I thought the Patriots
- 3:00Speaker 1: had a shot in that game. That was our big
- 3:02Speaker 1: balls better the week. It was a bet we made
- 3:06Speaker 1: in our contest. It was a game wise guys loved
- 3:09Speaker 1: the number was moving fast from three and a half,
- 3:11Speaker 1: kept moving down, down, down. You know. I think they
- 3:14Speaker 1: were a Kendrick Born fumble away from taking the lead
- 3:17Speaker 1: in that game and it and it being much closer
- 3:19Speaker 1: in the final score appeared. Yeah, definitely. The Patriots had
- 3:22Speaker 1: all the opportunities in the world. They just their their
- 3:24Speaker 1: issue this year is they turned the ball over too much,
- 3:25Speaker 1: they had fumbles, Mac had a terrible pick in the
- 3:27Speaker 1: back of the end zone. Um brutal, But again that's
- 3:32Speaker 1: kind of how it goes where it's like you're playing
- 3:33Speaker 1: the numbers and the bounces you to kind of go
- 3:35Speaker 1: your way as well. So to me, the Colts was
- 3:38Speaker 1: the prime example of shut up, you don't know anything.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I don't know anything. Whatever you watch week the week
- 3:45Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. You just gotta trust the numbers. And
- 3:47Speaker 1: that was the definition of a game. It stunked the
- 3:50Speaker 1: minute it came out. I mean, you had it. We
- 3:51Speaker 1: liked that seven, like that six and a half. Just
- 3:54Speaker 1: the game stunk once it got all way down to
- 3:56Speaker 1: four and a half. And you've got guys a gammera
- 3:57Speaker 1: of ELTONI. It's their biggest bet, and everyone's all over
- 4:00Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You're you're just feeling really good about your
- 4:03Speaker 1: position with this Colds team, because you know, the public
- 4:05Speaker 1: is absolutely pounding that number and it keeps dropping. The
- 4:09Speaker 1: book keeps them on better number. And so at four
- 4:11Speaker 1: and a half, the books clearly took a position. They
- 4:14Speaker 1: didn't think the cultuream went either. The Chiefs there they
- 4:18Speaker 1: lost that game, right, Can we say that the Colts
- 4:20Speaker 1: didn't so much. Yeah, they made the players. Of course,
- 4:23Speaker 1: Kelsey dropped a catch right in the back of the
- 4:25Speaker 1: end zone that was a touchdown. They would have been
- 4:26Speaker 1: up what ten, and then they missed the field goal.
- 4:29Speaker 1: So it was just one of the things. It was
- 4:30Speaker 1: all serendipity. It was just like, you really can't fight fate.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Colts went right down the field scored that touchdown and
- 4:37Speaker 1: that was just crazy. I mean again, that's that's why
- 4:40Speaker 1: we love betting on ugly dogs. You get these positions.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Another one we did even take but we gave out
- 4:45Speaker 1: was the Miami money line. That was such a fun game.
- 4:48Speaker 1: It was just classic. Nothing makes sense. The Bills are
- 4:52Speaker 1: by far the better team in every aspect, but Miami
- 4:55Speaker 1: made the plays. They frustrated Alan to no end, and
- 4:59Speaker 1: they like again, that was just such a bizarre game.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And that was one of those you're just playing the
- 5:03Speaker 1: number in situation and we looked like geniuses and then
- 5:06Speaker 1: the other side look like an idiot. On Washington, I'll
- 5:09Speaker 1: own that one. Definitely the worst read of the weekend.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Um still actually had chances desplay. I think at one
- 5:16Speaker 1: point the chart said, I think the Eagles had three
- 5:19Speaker 1: twenty two yards and Washington had minus one through whatever
- 5:23Speaker 1: it was at that point, it would have been two
- 5:25Speaker 1: or three quarters. That's how bad Washington was. So to me,
- 5:29Speaker 1: that was just a bad read where Washington. I don't
- 5:32Speaker 1: even want to say the team played better, it was
- 5:33Speaker 1: just Carson he held on it to too long. I
- 5:35Speaker 1: think he end up giving up nine sacks. Um. That
- 5:39Speaker 1: was just a complete meltdown by a guy that you
- 5:41Speaker 1: can see why he's been on three different teams in
- 5:43Speaker 1: three years. It's it's just it's a tough time right
- 5:46Speaker 1: now for Washington fans. Where we again, we're we're talking
- 5:49Speaker 1: about them for sure this week. Um, we talked about it.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I fell into the trap. You just don't know you're
- 5:53Speaker 1: getting week the week from that team, and they're gonna
- 5:55Speaker 1: be kind of impossible to bet all season. Yeah. I
- 5:58Speaker 1: hated that one. Hey, Carson Wentz, I feel like, you know,
- 6:01Speaker 1: we've got a couple of regrets here. You said it
- 6:03Speaker 1: the keywords opinions in data, right, So in that spot
- 6:07Speaker 1: you gotta bet the Commanders at six and a half,
- 6:11Speaker 1: buying low on them, selling high on the Eagles. It's
- 6:14Speaker 1: the right spot. It was disgusting to hold your nose.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I'm not a Carson Wentz believer despite the numbers. To me,
- 6:19Speaker 1: they're superficial, but you gotta bet it. Dolphins were gonna
- 6:22Speaker 1: talk a lot about because it's the first game on
- 6:24Speaker 1: Thursday night. I don't want to spend too much time
- 6:26Speaker 1: on that. We also just we left out sort of
- 6:29Speaker 1: the last few out were the Falcons, which ended up
- 6:34Speaker 1: being the right side and they continue to be the
- 6:37Speaker 1: wise guy Juggernaut, And we left out the Vikings, which
- 6:41Speaker 1: I just sort of hated that game the whole time.
- 6:43Speaker 1: It never made sense to me, so I'm glad we
- 6:46Speaker 1: didn't play that one. But whatever, We're three and two.
- 6:48Speaker 1: We're moving on. I want to remind everybody we will
- 6:51Speaker 1: do foxhold in this bet uh in this uh in
- 6:56Speaker 1: this show. We will do our Simon says, we will
- 7:01Speaker 1: do our executive decision. We will do our early leans
- 7:05Speaker 1: on survivor for those who have UH picks that lock Thursday,
- 7:10Speaker 1: although I don't have anyone's left and survivor. Between the
- 7:13Speaker 1: Chiefs losing and the Bills losing, I was getting messages
- 7:17Speaker 1: all week, thank god we chose the Bengals because everybody
- 7:21Speaker 1: else is out of their leagues. Um are their pools
- 7:25Speaker 1: last week. Just reminders Foxhol was Vikings minus six that's
- 7:29Speaker 1: a loss, Exact Decision, Bengals minus four and a half. Hello,
- 7:34Speaker 1: Chad Simon says Bucks minus two. Boo Simon survivor was
- 7:40Speaker 1: the Bengals and scooch row let I had the Jacks
- 7:42Speaker 1: plus seven, you with the Falcons minus one. Reminder again,
- 7:47Speaker 1: follow the phase five in the Action Network app. That's
- 7:49Speaker 1: what you get our final That's where you will get
- 7:52Speaker 1: our final five picks. Will post him in the app.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Actual Network app download for free. Follow phase five. We'll
- 7:58Speaker 1: post him in the app on Sunday after or new.
- 8:00Speaker 1: All the other picks Foxhol Exact Decision Simon says, Scoot Roulette, etcetera.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Those are under the Favorite podcast also in the Action
- 8:08Speaker 1: Network app. We split them up so we can be
- 8:11Speaker 1: very clear and full transparency on the five picks from
- 8:15Speaker 1: making every week and just track those for the record keeping.
- 8:20Speaker 1: One of the things I want to say, Sigmon, okay,
- 8:23Speaker 1: I throw my notes away here. Cancy Chiefs are a
- 8:25Speaker 1: very interesting team right now because you could easily look
- 8:29Speaker 1: at Week one and think, okay, they were better, but
- 8:32Speaker 1: they played a crappy team. We two Chargers missed a
- 8:36Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to shut down Patrick Mahomes, and by
- 8:41Speaker 1: luck of Patrick, they just did not make the right
- 8:45Speaker 1: they didn't make the interceptions, and then we three. He
- 8:48Speaker 1: looks pretty human against the Colts. So we're gonna get
- 8:53Speaker 1: to a Chiefs game. The Chiefs are playing the Buccaneers.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It's something to keep an eye on. I want to
- 9:01Speaker 1: be thinking about that. I want you to be thinking
- 9:03Speaker 1: about what I said there, because first, this was the
- 9:06Speaker 1: first game I bet this week, Dolphins at since the
- 9:10Speaker 1: Thursday night game opened Bengals one and a half, it's
- 9:15Speaker 1: now up to three and a half. Full disclosure in
- 9:18Speaker 1: the app. I bet it's Sunday night at two and
- 9:20Speaker 1: a half. It moved within five minutes. Bet the Bengals,
- 9:25Speaker 1: what say you? Oh, hey, didn't you're you're going off
- 9:28Speaker 1: the fact that Miami just played in that game, or
- 9:31Speaker 1: they're all exhausted from everything and just went on to us.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Got what their claim is a back injury, But I
- 9:36Speaker 1: think the months of us think it's a head injury.
- 9:38Speaker 1: But back of his head maybe, yeah exactly. But again,
- 9:41Speaker 1: I I gotta go with that NFL saying they apparently
- 9:44Speaker 1: haven't got in trouble yet, so maybe they're not lying,
- 9:46Speaker 1: but I don't hate it. But to me, my first
- 9:49Speaker 1: clients instinct was smash the Dolphins here, like this is
- 9:53Speaker 1: this is a great matchup for this team. But again,
- 9:56Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that because I think two is
- 9:58Speaker 1: banged up and like came in that second half. Hell,
- 10:02Speaker 1: they put up fourteen points really quick on that Bill's team,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and then they didn't get that seven until later on
- 10:08Speaker 1: and that was like what one played a waddle, I think,
- 10:10Speaker 1: and then they ran it in. Clearly something's going on there.
- 10:13Speaker 1: And they didn't really pass it with him either, because
- 10:14Speaker 1: they said when I'm taking hits. So but I just
- 10:17Speaker 1: blindly bet the Bengals right now. I don't hate the
- 10:20Speaker 1: position because you're still getting it under four, and I
- 10:22Speaker 1: think it will go up. We talked about it last
- 10:24Speaker 1: week I was on Cleveland. I usually take these home
- 10:26Speaker 1: favorites on Thursday nights. I just play it that way.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Even if the public's on it, I still ride with
- 10:32Speaker 1: it because historically works out for me. Bengals, again, I
- 10:35Speaker 1: think they're overrated and I think Miami is just as
- 10:37Speaker 1: good as them. But in this position, like Chad's kind
- 10:40Speaker 1: of thinking, here on a short week after what they've
- 10:42Speaker 1: just gone through in a couple of injuries. It's it's
- 10:45Speaker 1: a lot to ask, um of this Miami team to
- 10:47Speaker 1: go on the road and throw, on top of that
- 10:49Speaker 1: Hurricanes coming. So it just feels like there's a lot
- 10:52Speaker 1: going on these guys, these players lives and minds where
- 10:55Speaker 1: I don't know how much this game is going to
- 10:57Speaker 1: be to them. At three and oh where this band?
- 11:00Speaker 1: Those teams they're one and two, they need this game.
- 11:03Speaker 1: This is this is them kind of getting a groove right,
- 11:05Speaker 1: a big win last week, So kind of get where
- 11:08Speaker 1: Chad's coming from. At least he got the best of
- 11:10Speaker 1: the number. For me, I still don't think it a
- 11:11Speaker 1: terrible number three and a half. Um at four or
- 11:13Speaker 1: four and a half, I started thinking Miami, though. The
- 11:16Speaker 1: Dolphins one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Back
- 11:21Speaker 1: to back wins against the teams everyone thought were the
- 11:24Speaker 1: amongst the three best in the a f C along
- 11:27Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. They've played in a hundred degree weather
- 11:30Speaker 1: for two straight weeks, a lot of plays on the field,
- 11:34Speaker 1: and despite the fact that it was the visiting teams,
- 11:37Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bills that struggled in the heat.
- 11:41Speaker 1: They're still having to play in that. It takes your
- 11:43Speaker 1: body time to recover. Now they got to get on
- 11:45Speaker 1: a plane, they got to play in Cincinnati. Their quarterback
- 11:49Speaker 1: is banged up. I was only betting the number here
- 11:52Speaker 1: was to me, it was just like the Bengals should
- 11:55Speaker 1: be a field goal favorite. That's it. They weren't, So
- 11:57Speaker 1: I'm taking the half point and moving on. I also
- 12:00Speaker 1: had you in the back of my head saying favorites
- 12:03Speaker 1: tend to cover on Thursday night. They do just historically
- 12:08Speaker 1: they do. Ye. All right, Well, you're not with me
- 12:11Speaker 1: on the Bengals, so that's fine. You're kind of with me,
- 12:14Speaker 1: but you don't feel as strongly as I do. Know,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just a prime time under guy now,
- 12:17Speaker 1: like I'm I'm literally making my most money this year,
- 12:21Speaker 1: just slamming, smashing these prime time unders and they keep happening.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Last night that would even talked about the best of
- 12:27Speaker 1: the number huge last night, we I gave out what
- 12:31Speaker 1: is it thirty nine and a half Sunday morning. It
- 12:33Speaker 1: was one of my bets for Monday night. It was
- 12:35Speaker 1: still there Monday morning. Then the pros came in dropped
- 12:39Speaker 1: the thirty eight. Back up the three D and a
- 12:41Speaker 1: half game land at thirty nine. So the books were
- 12:44Speaker 1: spot on again with the numbers they make. That's the number.
- 12:48Speaker 1: It was huge there in that prime time game. But
- 12:49Speaker 1: what is it now? Seven and two if you count
- 12:52Speaker 1: last night as a loss to the unders for prime time?
- 12:54Speaker 1: UM pretty crazy start the year. Here's my problem with
- 12:58Speaker 1: UM in totals. There's too much variant and unpredictability in
- 13:04Speaker 1: the final two minutes of each half. That's why you're
- 13:07Speaker 1: just playing the number and you don't even care what happens.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like I'm just blindly playing these prime
- 13:11Speaker 1: time and there's we talk all the time. You usually
- 13:13Speaker 1: get one or two points no matter what of value
- 13:16Speaker 1: towards the under, just because the public love's betting over.
- 13:20Speaker 1: So that's why something I'm looking for This year has
- 13:22Speaker 1: been a freak year though I think it's sixty eight
- 13:24Speaker 1: percent something crazy like that right towards the unders, or
- 13:27Speaker 1: maybe it's sound a sixty three percent. Now this year
- 13:30Speaker 1: has been extreme for the start the year for unders.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I think it's historically the most unders ever have hit
- 13:35Speaker 1: through three weeks. So if you're an overs better it
- 13:38Speaker 1: is going to shift like the books will catch up
- 13:40Speaker 1: to it. This week it was eight and eight overs
- 13:42Speaker 1: unders for the past two weeks where eleven and five
- 13:44Speaker 1: eleven and five, So they're clearly making adjustments. Um, if
- 13:48Speaker 1: you're in overs better to me, there's just still a
- 13:50Speaker 1: lot of games. You've got a good value on these unders. Hey,
- 13:52Speaker 1: here's a question I got on the Twitter this week.
- 13:56Speaker 1: I want to get your opinion, because I have an
- 13:58Speaker 1: opinion of it. In fact, I'll probably start exercising it,
- 14:01Speaker 1: which was, let's say you go through week one, week two,
- 14:04Speaker 1: week three, and you're winning, do you start to adjust
- 14:07Speaker 1: your unit size? What do you mean, like bet Moore, Yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 1: I'm probably wrong. I gotta ask because, like, my biggest
- 14:14Speaker 1: week other than the super Bowl is probably weak one
- 14:17Speaker 1: just because of again bets down for five six months. Again,
- 14:21Speaker 1: it's not that much money. But then once you hit
- 14:23Speaker 1: July and books started taking the cap off, you can
- 14:25Speaker 1: really start adding up the dollars for week one. So yeah,
- 14:30Speaker 1: I would say, if you if you're feeling good and
- 14:32Speaker 1: you have a little rhythm going here, bump it up.
- 14:35Speaker 1: But nothing extreme, Like I wouldn't be double in if
- 14:37Speaker 1: say I was bet in a hundred I wouldn't start
- 14:39Speaker 1: doing two hundred, Maybe go half, maybe one fifty. Maybe
- 14:42Speaker 1: a game, keep building it up because to me, like
- 14:45Speaker 1: me and you to talk about time, you're not getting
- 14:46Speaker 1: rich this year, like this is a long term grind
- 14:50Speaker 1: out wins kind of thing. So yeah, if you if
- 14:53Speaker 1: you're hot again, hotter than me and Chad of course,
- 14:56Speaker 1: but for me, I definitely bump it up. But it's
- 14:58Speaker 1: game to game positioned by position. Like there's certain games
- 15:01Speaker 1: I just jump out, I really take a strong position
- 15:04Speaker 1: on it. And then there's other times where it's like
- 15:07Speaker 1: I've already taken a position for a lot of money
- 15:09Speaker 1: and I hear someone else is on the other side
- 15:10Speaker 1: and I have to get out of it and buying
- 15:12Speaker 1: out to real pain because you already have so much
- 15:14Speaker 1: bet into it where you guys aren't gonna be doing
- 15:16Speaker 1: that stuff. You're kind of bed into stuff. You're just
- 15:18Speaker 1: gonna let it ride. So to me, just don't overdo
- 15:20Speaker 1: it on a game. You could give a great read
- 15:22Speaker 1: because we know there's no sure things things things happen here,
- 15:26Speaker 1: So my advice would don't go crazy. I wouldn't double
- 15:29Speaker 1: it up just because we're starting so well or you
- 15:31Speaker 1: are um, kind of keep it going, but yeah, up
- 15:34Speaker 1: in a little bit. Of course, take advantage of you
- 15:36Speaker 1: being hot right now because we talk all the time.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Eventually you're going to lose, You're gonna get a little cold.
- 15:40Speaker 1: You want to take advantage when you're on a little
- 15:42Speaker 1: bit of a hot streak. Yeah, I actually it's week
- 15:44Speaker 1: three right now. Things have been going really well. I
- 15:47Speaker 1: usually examine it at the quarter pole. If I'm still
- 15:50Speaker 1: doing well after week four, then I bump it up
- 15:53Speaker 1: a little bit. And when I say a little bit
- 15:56Speaker 1: like maybe, like not, I'm not doubling like Simon says.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be eke out incrementally a little
- 16:07Speaker 1: more over the course of the season. I don't want
- 16:10Speaker 1: it to be something where it's Sunday night or Monday
- 16:14Speaker 1: night and I'm chasing because I'm down more than I
- 16:16Speaker 1: want to be, because I made stupid decisions about how
- 16:19Speaker 1: to manage my bank roll. Every professional better will tell
- 16:22Speaker 1: you managing your bank roll is the hardest and smartest
- 16:27Speaker 1: thing you can do in betting. I used to joke
- 16:30Speaker 1: that wise guys are wise guys because they know how
- 16:32Speaker 1: to keep money in their pocket. Managing your bank roll
- 16:35Speaker 1: is paramount in that process. So if you're gonna do it,
- 16:38Speaker 1: don't be an asshole. Just do it a little tiny
- 16:41Speaker 1: bit so you feel a little bit better but not
- 16:43Speaker 1: too much worse if you lose Vikings and Saints cheerios
- 16:52Speaker 1: just glorious execution. I don't know, man, this is like
- 16:56Speaker 1: a no brainer to me. You take the Vikings here, yeah, meet,
- 16:59Speaker 1: you will walk right into this trap. This game's in London,
- 17:02Speaker 1: it's early in the morning, I'm honestly. Then, just take
- 17:05Speaker 1: the sense that the books cannot get these Saints team right.
- 17:09Speaker 1: They're owing three eights, yes, clear of the books keep
- 17:11Speaker 1: putting up shipping numbers on the Saints team, they keep
- 17:13Speaker 1: not covering, and for some reason they're not justin. Maybe
- 17:16Speaker 1: we're walking into this right now because the books are
- 17:19Speaker 1: clearly saying the Saints defense is going to shut down
- 17:22Speaker 1: this Vikings offense because there's nothing in the Saints have
- 17:25Speaker 1: shown an offense to give you any hope that they
- 17:28Speaker 1: could keep up with this Vikings team on offense. So
- 17:31Speaker 1: to me, the books are clearly made a statement here
- 17:33Speaker 1: saying everyone in the world come back the Vikings, come
- 17:35Speaker 1: get them under a field goal. It stinks the holy
- 17:38Speaker 1: hell so no chance I would let Chat talk me
- 17:41Speaker 1: and putting this. We had two bad experiences with London
- 17:44Speaker 1: games where I kind of like woke up and was
- 17:47Speaker 1: just like, no, we gotta take this in the contest,
- 17:49Speaker 1: and it blew up in my face. So hopefully Chat
- 17:51Speaker 1: won't let me do it again. But this Vikings number stinks,
- 17:54Speaker 1: like I bet it too when I saw it, because
- 17:56Speaker 1: it's like, what the hell this is gonna to three?
- 17:59Speaker 1: Here we are a day and a half later, it's
- 18:00Speaker 1: still it's still a two and a half. So I
- 18:02Speaker 1: have no idea what the books think, Like they really
- 18:05Speaker 1: do believe in the Saints team. I think they're hot garbage, Like,
- 18:08Speaker 1: I don't know why they haven't adjusted on them. Give
- 18:10Speaker 1: me three and a half four, I start thinking Saints
- 18:13Speaker 1: two and a half, no brainer. Take the Vikings. Hey,
- 18:16Speaker 1: by the way, it is two and a half and
- 18:19Speaker 1: right now about of the money is on the Vikings.
- 18:26Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense. There are something we're
- 18:31Speaker 1: definitely stepping in it, do you think so? Yeah? I
- 18:34Speaker 1: mean again, the books could just be hanging a crap number.
- 18:38Speaker 1: But if if reverse Primetime spot for Kirk Cousins, maybe
- 18:41Speaker 1: that's what they're banking on Hills, He'll stink it up here.
- 18:43Speaker 1: But I don't get it. I just don't see how
- 18:45Speaker 1: the the in what world the Saints offense with a
- 18:48Speaker 1: broken Jamis can keep up with this Vikings offense. Like
- 18:52Speaker 1: the Vikings, they are really talented team, and so to me,
- 18:56Speaker 1: it's just an interesting number. It's like the books are
- 18:58Speaker 1: really again taking a position, and on the Saints team,
- 19:01Speaker 1: they're owing three. So I don't really know why they're
- 19:03Speaker 1: backing them like this. All right, well, I would love
- 19:06Speaker 1: to take this in the contest. It does not concern
- 19:09Speaker 1: me at all. I'm getting the better team against a
- 19:13Speaker 1: coach I don't believe in a quarterback who's playing with
- 19:15Speaker 1: a broken back literally uh an offense that seems like
- 19:19Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara has lost his mojo and mark ingram is
- 19:23Speaker 1: the bulk of the carries. Uh is like the guy
- 19:28Speaker 1: they're counting on the most in the backfield at eight
- 19:30Speaker 1: five years old. I just think this, like his team
- 19:33Speaker 1: is better. I'm getting the better team in a neutral
- 19:35Speaker 1: field for less than a field goal. Come man, make
- 19:40Speaker 1: of your exact decision, though, That's what I thought. That's
- 19:44Speaker 1: what I thought, kirk Man kirk Is, that's the problem Kirk.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Not that was laughing at people, but people are like,
- 19:50Speaker 1: what do you think about them? For Super but what
- 19:52Speaker 1: do you think about him for m v P. It's
- 19:53Speaker 1: just like have you watched him for ten years now?
- 19:55Speaker 1: He is what he is. It's just he's Kirk. Next game.
- 20:00Speaker 1: This is not making our list of anything at this point.
- 20:02Speaker 1: The Vikings, Josh Bills on the road at the Ravens,
- 20:07Speaker 1: the Ravens three and a half. We got a pro Joe.
- 20:10Speaker 1: We got a pro Joe. The bets on the bills
- 20:14Speaker 1: of the money on the Ravens. I know what I like. Again,
- 20:18Speaker 1: we don't really have a choice in the spot. We
- 20:20Speaker 1: have to take the Ravens. Like this is again playing
- 20:23Speaker 1: the numbers. What do we said last time? We'll take
- 20:26Speaker 1: the money line as well here with the Ravens because
- 20:28Speaker 1: historically Josh Allen beats you. He beats are pretty damn good.
- 20:31Speaker 1: But at three and a half, this is a key number.
- 20:34Speaker 1: We'll definitely be taking this number. Um the Ravens again,
- 20:39Speaker 1: Chad kind of talked about it and we we spoke earlier.
- 20:42Speaker 1: There's secondaries not look good. Just through three weeks they've
- 20:45Speaker 1: been torn up every team, but they're getting guys back.
- 20:49Speaker 1: They got guys back last week, right, those are their
- 20:51Speaker 1: first games, so they did have moments they didn't look
- 20:54Speaker 1: too good. But as the season goes along here, I
- 20:56Speaker 1: do think major adjustments from this ravens the defense. I
- 21:01Speaker 1: would have a little bit of pause about Josh Allen
- 21:04Speaker 1: here because of what he just went through and like
- 21:06Speaker 1: the position he's in here. But we looked at the forecast.
- 21:09Speaker 1: We're supposed to get this hurricane weather for the next
- 21:12Speaker 1: three days up here from I believe it's Saturday, Sunday,
- 21:15Speaker 1: and Monday. That's when this game is on Sunday. So
- 21:17Speaker 1: you're saying we're gonna have crazy storms up here, Josh Allen.
- 21:21Speaker 1: They don't run it like you look at the Bills.
- 21:23Speaker 1: That's the biggest weakness of that team by far as
- 21:25Speaker 1: they don't run the ball, they only throw it. They
- 21:28Speaker 1: were just one dimensional. Now you're gonna tell me we're
- 21:30Speaker 1: gonna have a crazy storm up here. I don't know it.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Just it feels like we're getting a good number. What's
- 21:34Speaker 1: gonna be a sloppy battle. It's Baltimore, gentlemen. The gods
- 21:38Speaker 1: will not save you. This Bills team is gonna have
- 21:41Speaker 1: to these injuries start catching up to them. They dropped
- 21:43Speaker 1: two to two and two here. That's that's pretty that's
- 21:46Speaker 1: that's not what people expected from the team that was
- 21:48Speaker 1: the most Super Bowl hyped up team here. So I'm
- 21:51Speaker 1: with people that they're gonna be feeling it. I don't
- 21:53Speaker 1: know if Josh can do much about it. Like we
- 21:55Speaker 1: saw what Miami did last week. They did too high safety.
- 21:57Speaker 1: They made him ninking dunk all the way down field
- 22:00Speaker 1: and frustrated the hell out of them. I mean, seventeen
- 22:03Speaker 1: points against that Miami defense, you expect them more out
- 22:06Speaker 1: of them. Um again, they got the safety, so they
- 22:08Speaker 1: ended up with nineteen. But it's just it was one
- 22:11Speaker 1: of those things where I saw the issues for Josh,
- 22:13Speaker 1: and I can see the Ravens doing the same exact thing.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Like that style of defense. It's not that hard to play,
- 22:18Speaker 1: So you know what, I think we should do it,
- 22:21Speaker 1: because I do think this is a foxhole bet, But
- 22:24Speaker 1: the Ravens to me at three and a half, it's
- 22:25Speaker 1: one of those I kind of I was gonna make
- 22:26Speaker 1: it time and says that I have another game. I like,
- 22:28Speaker 1: I would grab this now just in case his weather
- 22:30Speaker 1: does turn bad. I could see this get into three,
- 22:32Speaker 1: because why would no one else, everyone else be betting this.
- 22:35Speaker 1: This is a running team and bad weather. This is
- 22:37Speaker 1: kind of where you want to take this Ravens team.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Are we fox holding it? Let's fox hold the foxhole.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Let's clide down into the foxhole. Ravens plus three and
- 22:52Speaker 1: a half. You said a phrase that I feel like
- 22:55Speaker 1: it should be part of the vernacular. Too high safety.
- 23:00Speaker 1: That's like what you should call the dude in college
- 23:04Speaker 1: who stays sober when everyone else is getting high. Like
- 23:09Speaker 1: it's like a designated driver. You're the too high safety. Well,
- 23:12Speaker 1: I would it be advice to people in college, don't
- 23:14Speaker 1: hang out that too high safety. Make regrets, make mistakes.
- 23:17Speaker 1: That's the colleges speaking and regrets. The Commanders are three
- 23:24Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs on the road at the
- 23:27Speaker 1: Cooper Rush Cowboys another pro Joe the best coming in
- 23:31Speaker 1: on the Cowboys, of the money coming in on the Commanders.
- 23:35Speaker 1: I know what we just said about Carson Wentz week
- 23:38Speaker 1: to week, game to game. You gotta forget these things.
- 23:41Speaker 1: You gotta bet the number. It's another It's the same
- 23:45Speaker 1: exact scenarios last week, only with a team that's much
- 23:48Speaker 1: much worse. You gotta bet the Commanders here. I know
- 23:52Speaker 1: we're not doing it. There's no way this ends up
- 23:53Speaker 1: in our contest. Chad. Everything you just said is right,
- 23:57Speaker 1: but what do we just see the comm As biggest
- 24:00Speaker 1: weakness was I can't fucking block anyone. Now you're giving
- 24:03Speaker 1: then one of the most destroy destructive defensive players we've
- 24:07Speaker 1: ever seen him, like a Parsons, I don't know. Stinks
- 24:10Speaker 1: to holy hell Eagles fan. I'm honestly, my life has
- 24:14Speaker 1: never been better like my team's three and oh the
- 24:16Speaker 1: Cowboys legit have a QB controversy. Cooper Rush, I love
- 24:20Speaker 1: the ship on the kid made some pro throws like
- 24:23Speaker 1: good reads and put the ball in there against the
- 24:25Speaker 1: Giants defense. That was good and they were humming. I
- 24:28Speaker 1: can't believe he really did that in that primetime game
- 24:30Speaker 1: last night. So, like again, I wish it was a joke,
- 24:34Speaker 1: but it's like, I don't know him and Deck aren't
- 24:37Speaker 1: that much different if we're being honest right now. So
- 24:41Speaker 1: to me, I'm with Chad like I'll probably end up
- 24:44Speaker 1: on the Commanders. But as we sit here on Tuesday,
- 24:47Speaker 1: I got a real bad taste in my mouth with
- 24:48Speaker 1: that that Washington game again, they have all the pieces
- 24:51Speaker 1: there that Washington, that Washington offense is good. Holy sh it, man,
- 24:55Speaker 1: I don't know if it's they can't block or if
- 24:56Speaker 1: Carson just cannot understand you can't hold on the ball
- 24:59Speaker 1: from more than three to four second spot. This is
- 25:01Speaker 1: just a bad matchup for US Washington team. So I
- 25:04Speaker 1: get what Chad's coming from this kind of a prose
- 25:06Speaker 1: pro number, like you're just fading what happened last week,
- 25:10Speaker 1: But I might starving to take this Cowboys team a
- 25:13Speaker 1: little bit more serious. I need to adjust my numbers
- 25:15Speaker 1: because to me, yes, coming into last week, I would
- 25:18Speaker 1: have been on this commander of this team. Actually think
- 25:20Speaker 1: you might be getting a good number now with this
- 25:22Speaker 1: Cowboys team. They're not that bad with Cooper Rush as
- 25:24Speaker 1: their quarterback, and they're hell of a lot better than
- 25:26Speaker 1: Washington is right now. So it's it's funny you say
- 25:30Speaker 1: that about Cooper Rush. I was watching that game last night,
- 25:34Speaker 1: you know, first half, because I went to bed, uh,
- 25:37Speaker 1: and I thought to myself for a second, I forgot
- 25:40Speaker 1: who the Cowboys starting quarterback wise, and I thought, is
- 25:43Speaker 1: there going to be a quarterback controversy? And then I
- 25:45Speaker 1: remember it was back like no, they just won't you know,
- 25:49Speaker 1: they won't have it, but they could. Again my again,
- 25:54Speaker 1: the reason I say they're equal is that Cooper Rush
- 25:57Speaker 1: is cheap. Back is expensive right now, Like the town
- 26:00Speaker 1: level isn't that different where if I'm getting a huge
- 26:02Speaker 1: discount on Cooper Rush, you move deck and then you
- 26:05Speaker 1: build a team out like that's kind of the move there.
- 26:08Speaker 1: So to me, the Cowboys, I can make all these jokes.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Jerry's a crazy dude. I know he's gonna looking at
- 26:13Speaker 1: that too. And if there's an opportunity to move on
- 26:15Speaker 1: from Dak, who, let's face it, what has he really
- 26:17Speaker 1: done for that team other then making to the playoffs
- 26:20Speaker 1: and just not capitalized on that those moments. So I
- 26:23Speaker 1: just think it's interesting, like this kid wins another game
- 26:25Speaker 1: here that their favorite in their three not with Cooper
- 26:29Speaker 1: Rush after getting what was it three points Week one
- 26:31Speaker 1: with Dak against the Bucks. So it's it's gonna be
- 26:36Speaker 1: interesting this season now with this going on, because as
- 26:38Speaker 1: a fan that had two quarterbacks on the team with
- 26:40Speaker 1: the Eagles, it was a total nightmare every week like
- 26:44Speaker 1: what was going on behind closed doors? So going to
- 26:47Speaker 1: be interested to watch this Cowboys team me and both
- 26:49Speaker 1: me and Chad both had them making the playoffs this year. Honestly,
- 26:53Speaker 1: even though when Dak went down, nothing really changed for me,
- 26:55Speaker 1: not even more so. It's just like the NFC is
- 26:58Speaker 1: so wide open. I can just see a team with
- 27:00Speaker 1: a defense this could make it in this Cowboys team,
- 27:02Speaker 1: So I kind of again, I might do it justice Cowboys, right,
- 27:06Speaker 1: I think there are actually a lot better than I've
- 27:08Speaker 1: been giving them credit for. Alright, well, we still got
- 27:11Speaker 1: a signment, says in an exact decision to go Titans
- 27:15Speaker 1: plus three and a half on the road at the
- 27:19Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. I don't have a strong read on this game,
- 27:23Speaker 1: strong opinion. It feels like it's kind of at three
- 27:27Speaker 1: and a half. You kind of take the Titans at three,
- 27:30Speaker 1: you leave it alone, but not for any big, big
- 27:34Speaker 1: units here. I mean, my gut instinct was to take
- 27:38Speaker 1: um the Titans just because they've owned this cold steam
- 27:42Speaker 1: last couple of years. Vayable is just his teams have
- 27:45Speaker 1: just historically played well against his cold steam. But the
- 27:49Speaker 1: fact that it's up to three and a half stinks
- 27:51Speaker 1: to hell. But what a weird number this cold Steam
- 27:54Speaker 1: is not? Are they really that much better than Tennessee
- 27:57Speaker 1: I don't think so. Um I and I didn't think
- 28:00Speaker 1: that was so much the Colts winning is the Chiefs
- 28:03Speaker 1: just kind of blew that game last week. But yeah,
- 28:06Speaker 1: I'm with your chat. As we sit here on Tuesday,
- 28:08Speaker 1: I haven't really touched this game, and when I looked
- 28:11Speaker 1: at it again, my first opinion was just go at Tennessee.
- 28:13Speaker 1: But weird, weird number one of the weirder numbers this week,
- 28:17Speaker 1: Like definitely from an a f C South game. I
- 28:19Speaker 1: tell people of time I love the AFC South because
- 28:20Speaker 1: I feel like that's where I make my money just
- 28:22Speaker 1: because no one cares about those teams, and it's proved
- 28:24Speaker 1: out this year. We've been all over Uston, We've been
- 28:26Speaker 1: all over the jag Wires and the Colts last week.
- 28:28Speaker 1: There's just there's just something about that division that it
- 28:31Speaker 1: just you can find value because no one wants to
- 28:33Speaker 1: bet them. They're just not Excitingly football season is underway,

- 30:23Speaker 1: Browns visiting the Falcons. The Falcons look all credit to
- 30:26Speaker 1: you because I am not being a buyer. Falcons covered
- 30:29Speaker 1: against the Rams, covered against the Seahawks, covered in Week one.
- 30:33Speaker 1: They have been a covering machine this year. The wise
- 30:36Speaker 1: guy said it would be true. Now they're two point
- 30:39Speaker 1: dogs at home against the Browns. It's bullshit, man. They
- 30:43Speaker 1: should be two on one. They should have beat the Saints.
- 30:45Speaker 1: They should be tied for the division lead. I mean,
- 30:48Speaker 1: out of my victory Lap of the year gave him
- 30:49Speaker 1: out thirty five to one. They should be tied with
- 30:51Speaker 1: the lead of this division after three weeks, but they
- 30:54Speaker 1: just they gave that one away Week one again three
- 30:57Speaker 1: o eight t Shoud talked about three oh to the
- 30:59Speaker 1: over as well. This is a high powered offense with
- 31:02Speaker 1: a ship defense. So just a fun team like, if
- 31:05Speaker 1: you like betting ugly teams that are fun, Atlanta is fun.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Like they just they score a lot in a weird
- 31:10Speaker 1: offensive style with Mariota and they give up a lot
- 31:13Speaker 1: of points. So that's Brown's team. My initial instinct is
- 31:17Speaker 1: pound the Browns, like the Browns are good all around.
- 31:21Speaker 1: If for second play like he played on Thursday night,
- 31:24Speaker 1: Holy sh it, man, but the Browns are good. We
- 31:26Speaker 1: all we knew they had all the talent in the world,
- 31:28Speaker 1: they just didn't have a quarterback. This line, it kind
- 31:31Speaker 1: of makes you take a second and think it's like, Okay,
- 31:33Speaker 1: this was minus three. The Pros came in a pounded Atlanta.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Wasn't the public that came in heaving on that three.
- 31:39Speaker 1: It was the Pros. So interesting move by them, because
- 31:43Speaker 1: I honestly thought you were gonna get an overvalue Atlanta
- 31:45Speaker 1: team at this point. Um just because again they've they've
- 31:48Speaker 1: covered three straight weeks Cleveland extended rest going up gets
- 31:52Speaker 1: a team that really can't stop the running in Atlanta,
- 31:54Speaker 1: they should be able to dominate this game with Nick Chubb.
- 31:57Speaker 1: But um no, no, no real take on this game
- 32:01Speaker 1: for me yet. But I think people can already tell
- 32:03Speaker 1: which way I'm kind of lean like I like Atlanta.
- 32:06Speaker 1: I like what Atlanta does. Um, this is usually kind
- 32:09Speaker 1: of a letdown spot for this Cleveland team historically after
- 32:12Speaker 1: a big divisional win. Now they felt good for a
- 32:14Speaker 1: whole week going up against the team, they're probably not
- 32:17Speaker 1: gonna take that serious in Atlanta. This is kind of
- 32:18Speaker 1: where I want to take Atlanta, But hopefully we get
- 32:21Speaker 1: back to a better number because that one and a half,
- 32:23Speaker 1: it's not not the best home dog. There's other positions
- 32:26Speaker 1: I'd rather take. Yeah, it's a tricky game. A lot
- 32:30Speaker 1: of this comes down to coaching, right, and the Falcons
- 32:35Speaker 1: are covering slash winning I think in spite of themselves,
- 32:40Speaker 1: not because they're doing anything extraordinary consistently. Um. You know,
- 32:46Speaker 1: in that Rams game, they got a lot of turnovers
- 32:49Speaker 1: against the Seahawks. They had turnovers and they were playing
- 32:53Speaker 1: an inferior team, not discounting the fact that's hard to
- 32:56Speaker 1: go win on the road. Uh, Saints, they gave it away.
- 33:00Speaker 1: The Browns are a better coach team. And so if
- 33:04Speaker 1: you're giving me a team and saying they just gotta win,
- 33:09Speaker 1: even though it's on the road, they gotta beat an
- 33:11Speaker 1: inferior team and they're across the board better in every
- 33:13Speaker 1: other way. It's tough for me to want to back
- 33:16Speaker 1: the team that seems to win on Flukes, there's a
- 33:21Speaker 1: regression coming for the Falcons. To me, it's true. But
- 33:25Speaker 1: also we saw Cleveland give one away the Jets. We
- 33:27Speaker 1: know that the Cleveland's going to Cleveland, so that's always
- 33:30Speaker 1: part of built in betting this team. It's like they
- 33:33Speaker 1: are who we thought they were. Kind of kind of
- 33:35Speaker 1: deal with Cleveland. We still got a Simon says, we
- 33:38Speaker 1: still got an exact decision. By the way, exact decisions
- 33:41Speaker 1: crushing this year. Uh, not for nothing. Jets Steelers Steelers
- 33:49Speaker 1: minus three. Simon says, grab that Steelers minus three do
- 33:57Speaker 1: we do a lot of sciences. Hopefully he doesn't go
- 34:01Speaker 1: back up the three and a half. We can just
- 34:02Speaker 1: get a three all week in case you want to
- 34:04Speaker 1: wait on it. But I love Pittsburgh in this position
- 34:07Speaker 1: at home coming off a bad loss. Tomlin in this
- 34:10Speaker 1: spot historically has been has done well at home with
- 34:13Speaker 1: a team that they're desperate. So get the opponent. Their
- 34:16Speaker 1: name was great Faces and they're playing against the Jets
- 34:18Speaker 1: team that I thought they put well with Joe Flacco.
- 34:21Speaker 1: But we've seen their ceiling, like they're just not that good.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Like last week against the Bengals, they had different opportunities,
- 34:27Speaker 1: but when it gets a third and eight and they
- 34:29Speaker 1: make some stupid pealing out third and thirteen, that's just
- 34:32Speaker 1: the Jets, like they just keep putting themselves in bad positions.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Bengals again, they've been incredible in second half. Defensively, they're
- 34:40Speaker 1: not as good as Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh secondary is better than
- 34:42Speaker 1: the bang of secondary. So to me, if it's gonna
- 34:45Speaker 1: be Zack Wilson and his first start after not playing
- 34:48Speaker 1: a competitive game and since last year again we saw
- 34:51Speaker 1: him in preseason, he was absolutely terrible. Um, just a
- 34:55Speaker 1: bad That's why I don't get why they would do
- 34:57Speaker 1: it while they would put him in this spot against
- 35:00Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because it's literally they're just throwing them to the
- 35:03Speaker 1: Wolves like it's it's a bad position to put your
- 35:06Speaker 1: QB in. Where we know what Pittsburgh does. They run
- 35:10Speaker 1: different schemes, different blitz packages, are always throwing fake looks constantly.
- 35:15Speaker 1: That's gonna that That to me is such a freaking
- 35:18Speaker 1: huge deal to a kid like Zack Wilson on the
- 35:21Speaker 1: offensive side. I know people don't like what Trabiski was
- 35:25Speaker 1: last week, but I thought he actually did make some
- 35:27Speaker 1: good plays and they were moving the ball pretty well
- 35:30Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Just when it got the crunched on, we
- 35:32Speaker 1: saw what happened with Mitch right he tightened up. He
- 35:34Speaker 1: just could not pick up first downs and you just
- 35:36Speaker 1: couldn't put anything together. So I know people are down
- 35:39Speaker 1: on them. That's where we're getting a little bit of
- 35:40Speaker 1: value on Pittsburgh, and to me, I'll take that value
- 35:43Speaker 1: here where this Jets team they're just not good. In
- 35:46Speaker 1: the fact that Zack Wilson's coming back, it's even more
- 35:48Speaker 1: of a reason. I just cannot see how he can
- 35:50Speaker 1: put up points against this Pittsburgh's defense. Yeah, you know,
- 35:54Speaker 1: you and I talked a little bit about this on
- 35:56Speaker 1: our daily show on Action Network, Green Uh Daily. You
- 36:01Speaker 1: gotta watch it because you're getting sort of the betting
- 36:04Speaker 1: agenda for the day and during the NFL season for
- 36:06Speaker 1: the week noon Eastern. Watch it on Action Network, HQ
- 36:11Speaker 1: and Twitter, and listen to the podcast version of Green
- 36:14Speaker 1: Dot Daily wherever you like your podcasts. To me, historically,
- 36:20Speaker 1: you're talking about the Steelers not being great as favorites
- 36:24Speaker 1: at home against inferior teams and outperforming when their road dogs.
- 36:29Speaker 1: We didn't get the job done, we came up short.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Please don't talk to me about more victories are to
- 36:33Speaker 1: be disrespectful to those guys in the room. Now you're
- 36:35Speaker 1: back home. They need to win these games when they
- 36:38Speaker 1: are playing teams that are worse. They can't afford the
- 36:41Speaker 1: letdowns anymore. And I think that also plays to Mike
- 36:44Speaker 1: Thomlin's strength to be able to define the stakes for
- 36:47Speaker 1: his team in ways that he did not have to
- 36:50Speaker 1: do before because he has so much more talent. The
- 36:52Speaker 1: standard is the standard. That's our motto, that's our creed,
- 36:55Speaker 1: that's our approach time and time again. I love the
- 36:58Speaker 1: Steelers here. I think that that's are fresh. I mean
- 37:01Speaker 1: we look, we talked about this the Jets one the draft.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Everyone piled on their season win total over you, and
- 37:08Speaker 1: I went the opposite way. I don't see the Jets
- 37:11Speaker 1: being a very good team, no matter who's playing quarterback. Again,
- 37:15Speaker 1: Lucky for the Jets, like they just got to make
- 37:17Speaker 1: it for these next couple of weeks and then it
- 37:19Speaker 1: does get easier for you guys. But I just don't
- 37:22Speaker 1: think this is the this is the spot for exact
- 37:23Speaker 1: to come back. So I'm hoping it is him. That's
- 37:25Speaker 1: why i want to get this number early. But if
- 37:27Speaker 1: it's Joe Flacco, doesn't really matter to me. I still
- 37:30Speaker 1: think you're getting good number of this Pittsburgh team. Do
- 37:33Speaker 1: we like them enough to put them in the contest
- 37:34Speaker 1: right now? Simon says, I would say yeah, at like three,
- 37:38Speaker 1: I would definitely put that in, just because that's such
- 37:40Speaker 1: a good number for this team. At three and a half, four,
- 37:44Speaker 1: maybe way on a little bit, but at three, I
- 37:46Speaker 1: can't say no to that. All right, we're adding to
- 37:49Speaker 1: the list right now. We only got two teams on
- 37:51Speaker 1: their Ravens plus three and a half, Steelers minus three
- 37:53Speaker 1: next game up. I immediately thought to myself, the Jaguars
- 37:58Speaker 1: are visiting the Eagle came open at seven. It's moved
- 38:02Speaker 1: down a hair a scoche six and a half. Man,
- 38:08Speaker 1: I mean, look, what the What this is basically saying
- 38:11Speaker 1: to me is that the market really values what the
- 38:15Speaker 1: Eagles did against the Commanders a little bit more than
- 38:19Speaker 1: what the Jaguars did against the Chargers. Really, I thought
- 38:24Speaker 1: it it was I think they're valuing them kind of equally.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Like the fact that this is down to six and
- 38:28Speaker 1: a half is kind of telling. We're like, alright, people
- 38:32Speaker 1: have clearly taken position on the seven. The book's respect
- 38:35Speaker 1: enough given the six and a half. Now, Eagles are
- 38:38Speaker 1: the tease team. They're that team like last week was
- 38:40Speaker 1: the Chiefs, last week was the Bills, last week we're
- 38:43Speaker 1: the Bengals. That like, they give you this six and
- 38:45Speaker 1: a half and they said, go ahead, tease these three
- 38:47Speaker 1: teams down. If you if you hit two of them, congrats,
- 38:51Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna do it. And that's what they're
- 38:52Speaker 1: kind of giving you here. This Eagles team. There's like, alright,
- 38:55Speaker 1: all the hype. We think the Eagles are the number
- 38:57Speaker 1: one team the n NFC. There, the ives the best
- 39:00Speaker 1: offense right now, could argue they're one of the best
- 39:03Speaker 1: defenses right now playing the Jaguars team that every week
- 39:06Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has improved and like that was again, I
- 39:10Speaker 1: can't ask for much more. They should be three and
- 39:12Speaker 1: oh they let an egg against that Commander's team week one,
- 39:16Speaker 1: but they grew from it and they put up a
- 39:17Speaker 1: twenty four and nothing shut out against the Colts. And
- 39:20Speaker 1: I didn't care if Herbert's but Helsey in that game,
- 39:22Speaker 1: I don't think that mattered. Like they beat the ship
- 39:24Speaker 1: out of that Chargers team and every facet like there
- 39:28Speaker 1: they had. They've had injuries the Chargers team, but man,
- 39:30Speaker 1: like the D line of that combo of Walker and
- 39:33Speaker 1: Josh Allen on that D line, it's it's huge for
- 39:35Speaker 1: that that Jaguars team, like their their defense is flying
- 39:38Speaker 1: around and the Trevor Lawrence with that Christian Kirk Robinson
- 39:42Speaker 1: back off that major injury, he's he's one of the
- 39:44Speaker 1: top five running backs right now in football. It's all
- 39:47Speaker 1: there for this j Jacksonville team. Now you're giving me
- 39:50Speaker 1: them at six and a half against an Eagles team
- 39:52Speaker 1: that I do think they're really good, but that's a
- 39:56Speaker 1: lot of points against the team my view as a
- 39:58Speaker 1: playoff team and the Jaguars in for Doug Peterson, what
- 40:02Speaker 1: a position to be in. He knows all these guys,
- 40:04Speaker 1: like like the the ins and out of this whole team.
- 40:07Speaker 1: He coached Jalen's whole rookie year, like he's been there
- 40:10Speaker 1: with all these different players. So I know, and I've
- 40:14Speaker 1: seen the video clips of the Jaguars team. They love
- 40:16Speaker 1: Doug Peterson like they like this guy a lot. They're
- 40:19Speaker 1: gonna play for him. The revenge aspects nice. In fact,
- 40:22Speaker 1: we're getting good numbers, even better like the six and
- 40:24Speaker 1: a half. It's a really nice number to me. This
- 40:27Speaker 1: is the the Vikings game. Throw that one away. The
- 40:31Speaker 1: Eagles have been dominant, no doubt, in the first half.
- 40:34Speaker 1: They're one of the best first half teams. Back to
- 40:36Speaker 1: back weeks. They haven't support in the second half. Again,
- 40:39Speaker 1: that could be taking the foot off the gas, but
- 40:41Speaker 1: with a high powered offense like Jacksonville, I just can't
- 40:44Speaker 1: see being a blowout game like this. Jacksonville can keep
- 40:46Speaker 1: pace again. Trevor Lawrence week one one touchdown past last
- 40:50Speaker 1: uh Week two, he through for two, last week he
- 40:52Speaker 1: through for three. He's growing, He's getting better. This kind
- 40:56Speaker 1: of one of those positions where we're buying the hype
- 40:58Speaker 1: right like people knew we were gonna be at this
- 41:00Speaker 1: the Jaguars game. Regardless, it's the fact that it moved
- 41:03Speaker 1: off seven. You're not ideal, But I'll take the six
- 41:06Speaker 1: and a half. That's another key number to me. The
- 41:09Speaker 1: reason I was saying, um, I feel like they're valuing
- 41:13Speaker 1: the Eagles a little bit more is because I think
- 41:16Speaker 1: the numbers should have moved more. UM I think it
- 41:20Speaker 1: opened a little bit higher than it should have opened.
- 41:23Speaker 1: And when I saw this game on Sunday night, I
- 41:25Speaker 1: saw the Jags plus seven, and I'm like, that doesn't
- 41:29Speaker 1: make any sense to me. I didn't have the courage
- 41:31Speaker 1: to better in the moment, like I wanted to look
- 41:34Speaker 1: a little bit deeper. I saw moved to six and
- 41:37Speaker 1: a half and immediately took it because and I'll say
- 41:40Speaker 1: right now, this is my executive decision. Executive decision. Chad
- 41:44Speaker 1: Noman is proud of himself. There's so many signals about
- 41:49Speaker 1: what you what you just said about the Jaguars. Loving
- 41:54Speaker 1: Doug Peterson and I watched a lot of that Chargers game.
- 41:57Speaker 1: We're both invested in this Jaguars team. It is a
- 42:00Speaker 1: really good marriage of enthusiastic, creative coach who's super tolerant
- 42:09Speaker 1: of mistakes and not afraid to go for it in
- 42:12Speaker 1: the macro sense, with a quarterback who can sling it
- 42:17Speaker 1: with really good talent around him at he's deep at
- 42:22Speaker 1: running back, he's deep at receiver. That defense is getting faster.
- 42:27Speaker 1: I am shocked right now that if you look at
- 42:29Speaker 1: the future's odds for the a f C South Indianapolis
- 42:32Speaker 1: Colts plus one hundred Jacksonville Jaguars plus two, Like, it
- 42:37Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. What are people not seeing
- 42:40Speaker 1: about this Jaguars team that we're seeing because executive decision
- 42:45Speaker 1: this game, my friend and put on our list the
- 42:50Speaker 1: choice between the unthinkable and the impossible, executive decision, let's go.
- 43:00Speaker 1: I think that's three straight weeks Chad's executive decision the Jaguars,
- 43:03Speaker 1: it's probably gonna hit from again. No, last week my
- 43:06Speaker 1: executive decision was the Bengals, which you hated. That's fair.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Like the whole thing with me about those futures markets
- 43:13Speaker 1: is it's about the money. So unless unless the pros
- 43:17Speaker 1: and the public taking position, clearly, the books know what
- 43:19Speaker 1: they're doing. Because I saw the other day there win
- 43:21Speaker 1: their win total was still seven and a half eight
- 43:24Speaker 1: at some books. That's insane to me, Like the Jaguars
- 43:27Speaker 1: aren't gonna get to that number after what you've seen
- 43:29Speaker 1: through three weeks. So maybe the books are just being cautious, right,
- 43:32Speaker 1: because like this happens a lot of time, teams get
- 43:34Speaker 1: off the hot starts and they just fade, like they
- 43:36Speaker 1: fade as the season goes along. I can't see it,
- 43:39Speaker 1: like Trevor Lawrence throws this kid makes. There's just there's
- 43:42Speaker 1: only a handful of guys can make those kind of throws.
- 43:45Speaker 1: And you see how important coaching is. Like Urban Meyer,
- 43:49Speaker 1: what a joke. Doug already tied him and wins career
- 43:52Speaker 1: wins in the NFL, and just two and three weeks
- 43:54Speaker 1: are running this Jaguars team, Like that's how bad Urban was.
- 43:58Speaker 1: It's it's a team we love coming in for a
- 44:01Speaker 1: multiple Tudor reasons. Um, I'm trying to keep it together
- 44:04Speaker 1: because I'm so fired up about how good they are,
- 44:06Speaker 1: but just exciting if you're a Jaguar standard just a better.
- 44:10Speaker 1: It's just been a really fun to start of the
- 44:11Speaker 1: year for this team that all the stuff we talked
- 44:14Speaker 1: about has proven out right. It's amazing. Like this is
- 44:17Speaker 1: when it's really important to watch all the games because
- 44:20Speaker 1: you can see things that you don't get from just
- 44:22Speaker 1: looking at the box scores. And you watch this Jaguars
- 44:25Speaker 1: team and they're just they bought in in every single way.
- 44:29Speaker 1: They smile, they they're just having fun and they believe.
- 44:32Speaker 1: That's the belief button. Uh Seahawks on the road at
- 44:37Speaker 1: our favorite team in the NFL, the Detroit Lions. The
- 44:41Speaker 1: Lions are four and a half point favorites, look like Interestingly,
- 44:50Speaker 1: the majority of the bets, by a slight percentage, are
- 44:53Speaker 1: on the Seahawks. The majority of the money is on
- 44:56Speaker 1: the Lions at four and a half, I can tell
- 44:58Speaker 1: you a group I really respect. They hit this number
- 45:01Speaker 1: quick on the Seahawks. They they I don't know. I
- 45:04Speaker 1: don't think they're buying Detroit. Maybe it's because of the
- 45:07Speaker 1: Swift news right, Maybe Swift me out to a big
- 45:10Speaker 1: deal to them. I think it is, by the way,
- 45:12Speaker 1: do you. I don't know. I just I feel like
- 45:14Speaker 1: Detroit is such a well oiled machine offensively. It's just
- 45:18Speaker 1: like Williams looked good last week. Run on the ball
- 45:21Speaker 1: for them. Um, obviously he's no Swift. Like Swift is
- 45:24Speaker 1: the game changer. I don't really have to do with
- 45:26Speaker 1: this game, brother, Like I liked, I like the Seehawks
- 45:28Speaker 1: at six. I thought that was a good number just
- 45:30Speaker 1: because Detroit's defense is gonna give opportunities for a back
- 45:33Speaker 1: door every game. They just when teams need to put
- 45:36Speaker 1: up points and score on them. I think they're gonna
- 45:38Speaker 1: be able to do that, just because their secondary isn't
- 45:40Speaker 1: that good yet. But four and a half, making start
- 45:43Speaker 1: thinking Detroit, Like it feels like I'm starting to get
- 45:45Speaker 1: value in Detroit now. So don't sitting here on Tuesday,
- 45:48Speaker 1: don't really know what what to do with this game. Maybe
- 45:50Speaker 1: I'll lose more money taking another taking another over in
- 45:52Speaker 1: a Detroit game and letting it go by half a
- 45:54Speaker 1: point under. But this is just a team that kind
- 45:58Speaker 1: of is just fun. Like we talked coming to the air.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Love their offense, tons of questions on defense. They are
- 46:04Speaker 1: one and two through three weeks because their defense can't
- 46:07Speaker 1: stop anybody. They couldn't stop the Eagles, they couldn't stop
- 46:09Speaker 1: the Vikings. It's tough. But that's that's the honestreet about
- 46:13Speaker 1: the tree right now. So Seahawks have shown me they
- 46:16Speaker 1: can move the ball surprisingly with Gino and those offensive
- 46:19Speaker 1: weapons like Locket Metcalf, they make plays six. I definitely
- 46:24Speaker 1: am on Seahawks. Four and a half, I start thinking Detroit,
- 46:26Speaker 1: but we'll see. By thirds, I'll probably have a better
- 46:28Speaker 1: opinion on this game. Yeah, I put that down to
- 46:30Speaker 1: the watch. It's it's in my watch category. Yeah. Um
- 46:34Speaker 1: Bears plus three and a half point underdogs at the
- 46:39Speaker 1: Giants could be a battle of the two worst two
- 46:44Speaker 1: and one teams in NFL history. I think the Giants
- 46:48Speaker 1: are a little bit better than the Bears, but not
- 46:51Speaker 1: by much. They're working with bad quarterbacks all across the board.
- 46:55Speaker 1: The Giants offensive line made Cooper Rush look as good
- 46:59Speaker 1: as Dak Press out This game. No value here. I've
- 47:03Speaker 1: just got two bad teams and essentially the right number.
- 47:05Speaker 1: I have no opinion. I don't want to bet it.
- 47:08Speaker 1: If it wasn't the Bears, I wouldn't want to watch it.
- 47:10Speaker 1: I've been happy to take the Giants and minus three
- 47:13Speaker 1: minus two and a half because they are the better
- 47:15Speaker 1: team than me. But Chad's right three and a half.
- 47:19Speaker 1: This feels a smart number. Maybe I'll just be on
- 47:21Speaker 1: the under and somehow get burned about these teams. Two
- 47:24Speaker 1: teams scoring. But I kind of watched a lot of
- 47:28Speaker 1: Bears film just because I'm hoping to see some flicker
- 47:31Speaker 1: of hope for Justin Fields here. But it's not good.
- 47:36Speaker 1: He's not reading defense. He's got a happy feet, he
- 47:39Speaker 1: pulls it down too quick. Now you look at the
- 47:41Speaker 1: side the ball and Daniel Jones. He can have flashes,
- 47:43Speaker 1: he has moments. Just he is what he is. He's
- 47:46Speaker 1: an inconsistent He'll be gone out of this year kind
- 47:49Speaker 1: of quarterback. There's just there is no future for him
- 47:53Speaker 1: in New York again. They can make a crazy run
- 47:55Speaker 1: this year somehow to make the playoffs. And the Giants,
- 47:58Speaker 1: I think them and the fans are just kind of
- 48:00Speaker 1: over the Danio Jones experience. We kind of know exactly
- 48:02Speaker 1: what he is. Um, So I'm with your chat. I'll
- 48:06Speaker 1: probably end have been on the under on this one,
- 48:08Speaker 1: um and the Giants, but this would never make our contest,
- 48:11Speaker 1: just no real feel for it. But as a Bears fan,
- 48:14Speaker 1: your two on one, who would have thought had a
- 48:16Speaker 1: chance to be three and one after this game? Again?
- 48:18Speaker 1: You as much I want to show on the Bears.
- 48:19Speaker 1: They could easily win this game. It's just a bizarre
- 48:22Speaker 1: season right now for this barrious team that I had
- 48:24Speaker 1: such little expectations for and here they are two on one.
- 48:28Speaker 1: By the way, this might change everything you just said.
- 48:32Speaker 1: The line is now Giants minus three. Somebody must have
- 48:36Speaker 1: taken the Bears so across the board consensus line Giants
- 48:41Speaker 1: minus three. I think it's a pass for us. Yeah,
- 48:45Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, Like I'll throw a little in
- 48:47Speaker 1: that minus three, but this won't be my top ten
- 48:49Speaker 1: bets Chargers five point favorites at the Texans. Easy bet.
- 48:55Speaker 1: I knew as soon as it's never came out our
- 48:57Speaker 1: contest Texans every time. The Chargers have never any amount
- 49:01Speaker 1: of injuries. Guess who doesn't have any Texans. They're healthy.
- 49:03Speaker 1: They just suck. But do they suck more than five
- 49:06Speaker 1: points against his Chargers team all banged up? Hell no?
- 49:09Speaker 1: Like again, Herbert had the day of his life and
- 49:12Speaker 1: burn us in this matchup. I am happy to pay
- 49:14Speaker 1: to see it. He's not right, Like, he didn't look
- 49:17Speaker 1: right in that game. He had two throws that only
- 49:19Speaker 1: Herbert can make on third and five. The guy could
- 49:22Speaker 1: not make a completion to save his life. And he
- 49:23Speaker 1: had happy feet right like any normal humans with crack
- 49:26Speaker 1: ribs is gonna get a little scared in that pocket
- 49:28Speaker 1: after you get hit a couple of times. So the
- 49:31Speaker 1: fact that it moved off seven pisces me off because
- 49:33Speaker 1: the pros took it so early where it's like, you assholes,
- 49:36Speaker 1: how much one are you even getting down? What a
- 49:38Speaker 1: thousand bucks? And you're moving this number? That was annoying,
- 49:41Speaker 1: Like that's like in the professional ward. There's a little
- 49:43Speaker 1: bit of courtesy. They should have just waited they would
- 49:46Speaker 1: have kept this line up there because I think the
- 49:47Speaker 1: public would have came in on the Chargers and Texas
- 49:50Speaker 1: are viewed as the worst team and one of the
- 49:51Speaker 1: worst teams in football. There's two oh and one against
- 49:55Speaker 1: the spread, right, like the Texans have been in games,
- 49:57Speaker 1: they've been in close games. I'll take these I'll take
- 50:01Speaker 1: the points for this home dog. Again. We might get
- 50:03Speaker 1: talked out of it just because it's not a great number,
- 50:05Speaker 1: like we much rather have a six and a half
- 50:06Speaker 1: and seven, but against a banged up Charges defense and offense,
- 50:10Speaker 1: I gotta take this number of Texans. I just love
- 50:13Speaker 1: the fact that you're railing against greedy, wise guys right now.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Good yeah, because it's a scumbag move. It's just you're
- 50:21Speaker 1: not getting any type of real money down. You're getting
- 50:24Speaker 1: a couple of schleckels, and they're like, they're like, all right,
- 50:26Speaker 1: we'll move it. Then, Like clearly they're taking a stance
- 50:29Speaker 1: here on a Sunday and Monday morning that that number
- 50:32Speaker 1: jumped out where that's when you could have just waited
- 50:33Speaker 1: on and you would have gave everyone else a good,
- 50:35Speaker 1: good number to get on own. I love when you
- 50:37Speaker 1: try to go Yiddish. It warms my heart that you're
- 50:41Speaker 1: trying to connect with me in a real emotional way.
- 50:44Speaker 1: It's shekels what I say, that's affil of me. There's
- 50:50Speaker 1: a phrase kind of schlocky, which is like messy, lazy,
- 50:55Speaker 1: schlocky and shekels. What you basically did was say it
- 50:59Speaker 1: was combined. The two doesn't create a new definition of
- 51:01Speaker 1: what wise guys do when they're being greedy. I love it.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Print the shirts, way to go, my Hebrew friend. All right, Uh,
- 51:09Speaker 1: Cardinals on the road. At the Carolina Panthers, who we
- 51:15Speaker 1: have been loving, loving like they are they are firstborn children.
- 51:21Speaker 1: We cannot see any wrong in the Panthers right now.
- 51:25Speaker 1: The Panthers are two and a half, yeah, two two
- 51:29Speaker 1: and a half. Chad knows we're gonna be on Carolina
- 51:32Speaker 1: and I hate it, but this is my life now.
- 51:34Speaker 1: So one or two in the year betting then that
- 51:36Speaker 1: came through for us last week and I barely had
- 51:38Speaker 1: a penny on them, So I'm down a shipload compared
- 51:40Speaker 1: to what I've won on them. I gotta take them here.
- 51:43Speaker 1: The Arizona sucks like they just they have no identity
- 51:46Speaker 1: right now. I hate it. I don't even know, Like
- 51:49Speaker 1: I don't even want to do it, but I kind
- 51:51Speaker 1: of have to. Where it's Carolina A man again, I
- 51:55Speaker 1: probably won't put this in the contest because I can't
- 51:56Speaker 1: do the Baker thing. Like they didn't win last week
- 51:58Speaker 1: because of Baker. Baker, it was bad last week. They're
- 52:01Speaker 1: just no, no, they won last week, I know, but
- 52:04Speaker 1: they didn't win because of Baker. That's what I think.
- 52:06Speaker 1: I got it. I got yeah, Like that was more
- 52:08Speaker 1: like Winston. The Saints offense could do nothing in their
- 52:10Speaker 1: defense just dominated that game. I think it was like
- 52:13Speaker 1: ten nothing. He threw some little out route to his
- 52:15Speaker 1: receiver and his receiver took it eight yards and scored
- 52:17Speaker 1: it down and that was kind of the game. So
- 52:20Speaker 1: I'll be on a chat, but I'm just I'm not
- 52:22Speaker 1: gonna let you talk to me putting Carolina. I just
- 52:23Speaker 1: can't do it. Um. I just have no real read
- 52:26Speaker 1: on this team. But there's value there, Like this is
- 52:28Speaker 1: real value where you're getting under a field goal against
- 52:31Speaker 1: an Arizona team that's just bad. They're simply bad. Like
- 52:34Speaker 1: that Rams game. I think maybe ten people watched it
- 52:37Speaker 1: because it was just probably the more boring games of
- 52:38Speaker 1: the whole day, Rams dominated them and Arizona could not
- 52:41Speaker 1: get anything anything going. Like Caler Murray tried doing that
- 52:44Speaker 1: runaround thing. It only works when you're another two exhausted
- 52:47Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Doesn't work in the first quarter
- 52:49Speaker 1: when the team's got their legs. So I don't really
- 52:52Speaker 1: have a feeling towards this Arizona team, Like I can't
- 52:54Speaker 1: get a good read on them, But what I do
- 52:56Speaker 1: know is they're bad. They are one of the bad
- 52:58Speaker 1: teams in football right now. So to me, I'll be
- 53:00Speaker 1: with Chad on Carolina. But I just can't put this
- 53:03Speaker 1: in the contest. I just can't do it. People don't
- 53:05Speaker 1: let me do it. Comes on day please, Oh believe
- 53:09Speaker 1: you me, my friend, It's gonna be an exciting Sunday.
- 53:14Speaker 1: You're gonna have to follow along in the favorites, uh
- 53:16Speaker 1: in in follow the phase five in the Action Network
- 53:19Speaker 1: gap Patriots ten and half point dogs to the Packers,
- 53:23Speaker 1: No mac Jones, Brian Hoyer. It feels like a dangerous
- 53:26Speaker 1: spot to bet against the Patriots because Brian Hoyer obviously
- 53:30Speaker 1: not a starting caliber quarterback, but a reliable, steady back up.
- 53:39Speaker 1: He's a professional. That's what I was looking for. Professional quarterback,
- 53:43Speaker 1: you can keep moving. I'll probably have been on Green
- 53:46Speaker 1: Bay because they historically beat the ship out of bad
- 53:47Speaker 1: teams in this weird position. But no, like I'm with you,
- 53:51Speaker 1: I got no real read on it. I can't can't
- 53:53Speaker 1: really force it into the contest Patriots. To me, it
- 53:56Speaker 1: just seemed broken, and now that Mac's gone, I think
- 53:58Speaker 1: there will might be broken. So no, no real read. Honestly,
- 54:02Speaker 1: on this game, I'd probably be a chalk play or
- 54:04Speaker 1: just take the points just because I feel like everyone's
- 54:06Speaker 1: just gonna bet the dog in the spot. The Broncos
- 54:10Speaker 1: two point underdogs to the Las Vegas Raiders on the
- 54:15Speaker 1: road in Vegas. Boy, I gotta say, I love the
- 54:20Speaker 1: Broncos coming into the season. You love the Raiders coming
- 54:23Speaker 1: into the season. Turns out it's the Chiefs all along.
- 54:27Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, Chad saying I love the Raiders.
- 54:32Speaker 1: I had them coming third in this division. I just
- 54:34Speaker 1: had the Broncos coming in fourth. That's That's what I'm
- 54:36Speaker 1: dealing with here. People. Um yeah, I don't know when
- 54:40Speaker 1: I first law was lying? What was your first instinct?
- 54:42Speaker 1: Live life in extremes? My friend? What is our first start?
- 54:46Speaker 1: We just take the Broncos, like the Raiders are fucking broken.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is already having a closed door meetings with
- 54:52Speaker 1: the owner, Oh the ship man, Like you think it's
- 54:55Speaker 1: a ship show up in Denver. No, they're doing one.
- 54:58Speaker 1: They're slowly figuring out. They at least have an identity,
- 55:00Speaker 1: they got a good defense, they got nothing seems like
- 55:04Speaker 1: down there in Vegas. So I don't know what I'm
- 55:06Speaker 1: gonna do with this one right now. I love Denver.
- 55:09Speaker 1: I'm hoping whoever's betting the Raiders keep betting and maybe
- 55:12Speaker 1: I'll get it two and a half or three with Denver.
- 55:14Speaker 1: That'd be amazing. But to me, this is like, as
- 55:16Speaker 1: soon as I saw his number, I was like, all right,
- 55:17Speaker 1: Micha will have in the money line round Robin. It's
- 55:19Speaker 1: just we'll be on Denver. They at least know how
- 55:21Speaker 1: to win. I've seen nothing proven by this Vegas team
- 55:25Speaker 1: that they do. I'm gonna wait and see what Evan
- 55:27Speaker 1: ever put out on what to do with this number,
- 55:29Speaker 1: because I know there's a bunch of historical things where
- 55:32Speaker 1: I think that's oh and three oh and three ts.
- 55:35Speaker 1: This tends to be a good week for them, So
- 55:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait and see before I make a bet
- 55:38Speaker 1: on this game. You can't get Broncos at plus two
- 55:41Speaker 1: and a half in some places. Yeah, that's I mean,
- 55:43Speaker 1: that's pretty nice. Sunday Night football, the Chiefs are visiting
- 55:47Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, so I said, we're gonna talk about the Chiefs.
- 55:52Speaker 1: I do feel like this Chief's team is a little
- 55:56Speaker 1: more suspect than we think. They aren't the dominant and
- 56:00Speaker 1: team of years past. There's some some issues there. I
- 56:04Speaker 1: wouldn't say they're broken, you know, but they are not
- 56:07Speaker 1: as good as we thought after the first game. Evidenced
- 56:11Speaker 1: by the past two games, the Buccaneers might genuinely be
- 56:15Speaker 1: broken though, No, I don't think. I guess I'm just
- 56:18Speaker 1: a glass half full guy, right. My expectations are different.
- 56:21Speaker 1: Where it's like, I think they've looked really good and
- 56:24Speaker 1: the fact that they put the money step paying Tyrekan
- 56:26Speaker 1: and their defense and their defense is played well as well.
- 56:28Speaker 1: I'm excited, like it makes me happy about betting them.
- 56:31Speaker 1: Where it's just early weeks. They're kind of figuring out
- 56:35Speaker 1: what the hell they are. I know exactly what I'm
- 56:37Speaker 1: getting from his Chiefs team come j anyway, Like I
- 56:39Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm getting from my homes. I know
- 56:42Speaker 1: he curally can't be beat unless he beats himself. That's
- 56:44Speaker 1: what happened yesterday. He beat himself in that game. Like
- 56:47Speaker 1: Kelsey would that drop on the end zone? What can
- 56:49Speaker 1: you do? So to me, I don't overreact to it. Um, Honestly,
- 56:55Speaker 1: everything I've seen the FC, every team just has glaring
- 56:59Speaker 1: weaknesses and everyone's kind of drop trying to just dodge
- 57:03Speaker 1: this injury book. It feels like all these teams are
- 57:06Speaker 1: getting sneaked. But I mean, how the Bills they got
- 57:08Speaker 1: lucky Gabe Davis came back. You don't look right last week,
- 57:11Speaker 1: and then you look at their defense, they're just having
- 57:12Speaker 1: the guys drop all across ther secondary. I mean, the
- 57:15Speaker 1: Bengals just lost their nose tackle. They're just all these
- 57:18Speaker 1: teams are losing key position players where the Chiefs really haven't.
- 57:23Speaker 1: And I'm with you, like they looked rough last week.
- 57:25Speaker 1: They had moments they left last players on the field.
- 57:27Speaker 1: I think there are three for twelve on third downs,
- 57:29Speaker 1: which is like very out of body experience from my homes.
- 57:34Speaker 1: But that was a trap game, right cheat. We're all
- 57:35Speaker 1: over that one trying not to over react to it,
- 57:38Speaker 1: and then this number comes out, This Tampa number came
- 57:40Speaker 1: out two and a half. Holy shit, Like what that
- 57:45Speaker 1: the books are they set another trap? Here are they
- 57:48Speaker 1: really they were really doing it like that was That's
- 57:51Speaker 1: what's happening, and it is like they're clearly saying go
- 57:55Speaker 1: ahead that the Chiefs. We really believe in this Buccaneers defense,
- 57:59Speaker 1: that they're gonna be a different in this game. Because
- 58:01Speaker 1: as much as I want to agree with Chad they're broken,
- 58:04Speaker 1: I don't think they are. I think, literally, once I
- 58:05Speaker 1: get these guys back, this team is just going to
- 58:07Speaker 1: be exactly what we know they are. The Buccaneers are
- 58:09Speaker 1: gonna be able to put up points and have one
- 58:12Speaker 1: of the best defenses of football, and like to me,
- 58:15Speaker 1: if you want to bet their futures, I still think
- 58:16Speaker 1: there's values on the Bucks to win NFC. I know
- 58:18Speaker 1: the Eagles are getting all the hype right now, I
- 58:21Speaker 1: still think. I'm January Tom Brady comes up to Philadelphia,
- 58:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna be scared and I'll probably have him as
- 58:27Speaker 1: a slight favorite over the Seagules team in late January.
- 58:29Speaker 1: So as much I want to bash his Buccaneers team,
- 58:33Speaker 1: maybe I won't bet him this week because of all
- 58:34Speaker 1: the nonsense of the hurricane. This game might be moved
- 58:37Speaker 1: up now to Minnesota. That's a big deal because to me,
- 58:40Speaker 1: playing that home field in Tampa and that heat, that's
- 58:42Speaker 1: an advantage for the Florida team. Like we saw last week,
- 58:45Speaker 1: Tampa came all the way back on Green Band in
- 58:47Speaker 1: that second half. It's a it's a big deal that
- 58:49Speaker 1: heat bill has burned down the second half against Miami team. UM,
- 58:54Speaker 1: this game moves with the Minnesota Oh shit, whatever, this
- 58:57Speaker 1: line will reopen. I think it might roopen and minus
- 58:59Speaker 1: four or minus five for the Cincinnati team. Uh, the
- 59:02Speaker 1: Chief's team, I should say. And your bets been avoided,
- 59:05Speaker 1: so you can you can bet the Chiefs now. It's
- 59:07Speaker 1: it's most like you're gonna be avoided once they moved
- 59:09Speaker 1: this game to either Miami or they moved up to Minnesota.
- 59:12Speaker 1: Wherever they're gonna move it to. UM, it's gonna be
- 59:14Speaker 1: a dead number. But in in it is very talent
- 59:18Speaker 1: that the books opened this number the where they did
- 59:20Speaker 1: because they're clearly with what Chad said. Like the books,
- 59:23Speaker 1: they got a lot of questions right now about the
- 59:24Speaker 1: Chiefs team, and that's gonna make me, I need to
- 59:27Speaker 1: reevaluate them if they do lose the books this week.
- 59:29Speaker 1: But to me, I kind of throw last week out.
- 59:31Speaker 1: I just said it was just one of those games.
- 59:33Speaker 1: I think it'll be a really fun game to watch.
- 59:35Speaker 1: It's not in our contest. Rams two and a half
- 59:47Speaker 1: point dogs to the forty Niners on Monday night in
- 59:52Speaker 1: the Bay Area. This is a pro Joe right now.
- 59:55Speaker 1: It's bets on the Rams, money on the Niners. Yeah,
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: short home favorites. Everything says bet the Niners here. Kyle
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Shannon is not great in these spots and they just
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: lost arguably the most important player on offense, Trent Williams. Right.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: I think I think we're getting word now that he
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: might be gone for a couple of weeks. That's massive.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: Soon as he went out against the Broncos that they
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: could not do a thing, Yeah, and Jimmy looked terrified.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: So historically he actually owns the Rams like this. That
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: last year in that playoffs, that was the first time
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: the Rams and McVeigh had beaten them and forever, like
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: right when this never came out, I was like, Oh,
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: I want to be all over this four ninetis team.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: And then I remembered ship. Dude, They're they're literally their
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: offensive line is in shambles now. Um, Jimmy's no tray Lands.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: He can't move around and run away from that type
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: of blitz. So yeah, I would say it's most likely
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: I'll be on the Rams and the dog. Um, I'm
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: just gonna take the money line right now, and if
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: it gets up the three, I'll take the number. But
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: the two and a half, I'll just take the money
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: out of the Rams because I just think they're gonna
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: win out right. Oh that's interesting. If you think they're
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: gonna win out right, then why wouldn't we be debating
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: to have the Rams is two and a half point
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: dogs in the contest. Well, that's more many playing the
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: number in the value. I know people talk about two
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: and a half doesn't matter in these kind of games.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: I usually like divisional games like this, I usually just
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: take the money line out right, like I did last
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: night with the Cowboys. I think Cowboys were one and
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: a half or two. I just took the money line. Um,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: the same thing with here. It's like if it's three,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: which I always talked about such a key number, even
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: to an asking Remember three to me is the real
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: key number, then I'll take that number. And especially our
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: contest jaff it's three, I would definitely take it. But
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: I just hate when we do our contests and say
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: we do go four and now I hate that weight
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: that weighs the money night thing. It's truly the fucking worst.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: So that's that's the only reason I I right now
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: is say I probably wouldn't, but I just want people
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: to know I am gonna bet the Rams. I am
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: gonna take their money line. That's when we make mistakes,
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: We get caught up in the emotional decisions, don't make
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: the right decisions. So we need to suffer a little
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: bit on Monday. But you know what, it also is
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: something to look forward to. Think about it as an
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: opportunity for us. Right I'm putting the Rams down on
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: our list right now, our foxhole is Ravens plus three
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: and a half. Simon says, Steelers minus three exact decision
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Jack's plus six and a half. We are keeping an
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: eye on those three teams. Ravens three and a half,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: Steelers minus three, Jacks plus six and a half for
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: three of our faiths for five. Texas plus five is
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: on the list. And then we are keep we are watching,
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: we are watching as candidates. I put it on this
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: list Commanders plus three and a half, Falcon's plus two,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: Detroit minus four and a half, Panthers minus two and
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: a half, Broncos plus two and a half, nine uh
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: and Rams plus two and a half. Not a lot
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: of games that we feel strongly about from that list,
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: So we'll have to see if some news comes out
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: or anything else. All the lines, Brother, they're like two
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: two and a half, three survivor. It feels like we
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: only have one choice, and that being Green Bay. Yeah. Well,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: obviously we'll talk about it again on our next show,
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: but you gotta get it in now. How can you
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: not go Green Bay in this position at home against
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: his Patriots team that you know, I get they're gonna
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: be desperate, but they just don't have the skills to
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: really make you worry in this game. And the fact
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: that it's the biggest spread by far this week. It's
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: hard to pass on the screen Bay in this position
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: because again, their their division is good, like maybe you
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: already use them against the Bears. So I don't know
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: who you'd want to go for the second team, because
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: I just have nothing else that really jumps out, Like
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: you could go Giants at home against the Bears. That
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: feels very risky. Could go Bengals if you didn't use
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: them with us last week against the Dolphins again, that
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: feels risky. So to me, the biggest spread, the safest
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: one this week is Green Bay. It's so hard because
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: that's when you fall into the trap right every time.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: This past week, Wills, Chiefs, and Chargers were all all
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: open to seven point favorites. Yeah, and like again, that's
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: that's the hardest part by doing this, and like people
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: that took the Vikings, we got lucky. Like that was
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: they missed the field goal. They could have gone for
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: it all fourth down. That game was probably gonna be
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: over for Detroit. That's kind of how you live and
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: die with these survivor pools. It's just survive in advance.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: So I'll play Chalky this week because nothing really jumps out,
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: like I just don't want to do the Chargers with
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: it banged up Herbert against the Texans. I'm gonna go
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: with Green Bay here, all right, that's all we got
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: for this show. We will be back later in the week.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: We'll try to nail down our faith five will bring
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: back the big balls. Better the week for Simon Hunter,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: for Matt Mitchell, I am Chad Millman. Download the favorite
