Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Welcome the Favorites the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I am Chad Millman. As we have been doing for
- 0:17Speaker 1: the past few weeks, we are breaking down every single
- 0:21Speaker 1: team in every single division and how they've improved or
- 0:24Speaker 1: not improved according to Super Bowl odds, according to conference odds,
- 0:30Speaker 1: according to division odds since the end of last season.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Today's division maybe the worst division in all of football.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I call it the nondescript Division. I call it the
- 0:49Speaker 1: division with helmets. Nobody cares about team names that sound
- 0:54Speaker 1: like they belong in a Oliver Stone movie, with a uniforms,
- 1:01Speaker 1: fake players, fake decals. I have been against this division
- 1:06Speaker 1: for years. I think nobody cares about any of these
- 1:10Speaker 1: teams except for the people in the towns they live in.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I'm inviting the haters. It's the NFC South, my least
- 1:22Speaker 1: favorite division in football. Simon Hunter, my best friend, my companion,
- 1:31Speaker 1: the person for whom I have unconditional love. Talk to me.
- 1:38Speaker 1: How are you? But I'm shocked to hear you say
- 1:40Speaker 1: this thing was division. I actually love this division every year.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I'm one of those weird people. I love it. Maybe
- 1:45Speaker 1: maybe that's the difference between you and me, and ultimately
- 1:47Speaker 1: why you are a wise guy, and I'm just a
- 1:50Speaker 1: guy pretending to be a wise guy. But it is
- 1:53Speaker 1: to me like the Panthers and their uniforms and their helmets,
- 1:59Speaker 1: the Box and their uniforms and their helmets changing every year.
- 2:03Speaker 1: The Falcons, to me, even though they've been around forever,
- 2:06Speaker 1: still feel like an expansion franchise that nobody would ever
- 2:11Speaker 1: be interested in. Uh. The Saints are the only team
- 2:15Speaker 1: in that division to me that feels like there is
- 2:18Speaker 1: any history, character, interesting narrative ever. Like they're either really
- 2:25Speaker 1: good or they're really they're comically bad. Um Like the
- 2:31Speaker 1: Bucks are irrelevant unless they've got the greatest quarterback in
- 2:34Speaker 1: the history of football. So I I go by narratives
- 2:38Speaker 1: and sort of connection, and I have no connection here. None.
- 2:41Speaker 1: It sounds like a bitter Bears fan. That's what you
- 2:44Speaker 1: sound like. That's what you sound like, Chad. So let's
- 2:47Speaker 1: go over the NFC North. You guys have what two
- 2:49Speaker 1: super Bowls in the last thirty years. It's both Green Bay,
- 2:52Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. And I think I think the South
- 2:55Speaker 1: here has three super Bowls in the last twenty years.
- 2:58Speaker 1: So think about the history of the NFC North versus
- 3:02Speaker 1: the NFC now like versus the NFC South. Like the
- 3:06Speaker 1: Bears have six Hall of Famers in my lifetime, the
- 3:12Speaker 1: Packers have gone from one of the best quarterbacks of
- 3:15Speaker 1: all time to a guy who is better. The Vikings
- 3:18Speaker 1: have one of the most interesting narratives and stories in
- 3:22Speaker 1: football history, between losing all the Super Bowls, playing in
- 3:26Speaker 1: some of the most important games ever, playing outside now
- 3:29Speaker 1: playing inside, I always always choke and the Lions like,
- 3:34Speaker 1: you can't get more traditional than the team that anchors
- 3:36Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. I love it. No history, there's no tradition
- 3:43Speaker 1: with any of these teams in the NFC South every
- 3:46Speaker 1: year like they will anchor a corner TV game in
- 3:52Speaker 1: some sports book every single week. I do want to
- 3:56Speaker 1: talk about how I'm killing myself that me and you
- 3:58Speaker 1: didn't talk about Tebog getting released in h How do
- 4:01Speaker 1: we not bet that? How do we not bet his
- 4:03Speaker 1: under teeth? Like I remember looking at it and thinking
- 4:06Speaker 1: myself like there's no way he's going to make this team,
- 4:09Speaker 1: and not a lot of talk. Listen, Matt Mitchell has
- 4:11Speaker 1: made it clear we can't talk about the FC South today.
- 4:14Speaker 1: We're not allow to talk about the a f C South.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Next week we can talk about how much we don't
- 4:18Speaker 1: like the f C South as a division. Next week
- 4:22Speaker 1: we can only focus on the NFC South, and I
- 4:25Speaker 1: want to get into division odds, conference odds, super Bowl odds,
- 4:29Speaker 1: and totals for each of these teams, improvements for each
- 4:32Speaker 1: of these teams. Obviously, the Bucks are gonna be interesting,
- 4:35Speaker 1: But I do want you to give me your honest
- 4:37Speaker 1: take why you love this division. Is it because there's
- 4:39Speaker 1: always gambling opportunity And if you say yes, I have
- 4:42Speaker 1: a counter to that that proves my point or is
- 4:45Speaker 1: it something else? Um? I do love I mean that's
- 4:49Speaker 1: skewed a little bit. I love that there you have
- 4:51Speaker 1: two different teams here. We have Atlanta and the Saints
- 4:53Speaker 1: have both played into ours. So I mean, ever since
- 4:57Speaker 1: Drew Brees got New Orleans, that offense has been incredible.
- 5:00Speaker 1: And with Atlanta they had Mike Vick and then like
- 5:02Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. So They's just I feel like this division
- 5:05Speaker 1: has always had good teams in it. And again, the
- 5:09Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, you can say what they want. They made
- 5:11Speaker 1: it the Super Bowl Jake alone, and they made the
- 5:13Speaker 1: Super Bowl of Camp. So it's just it feels like
- 5:15Speaker 1: it's a division that produces good teams. And again, like
- 5:19Speaker 1: you said, they're not, you know, the most glamorous teams.
- 5:22Speaker 1: They're newer, they don't really get that like diehard fan
- 5:24Speaker 1: based all across the country. But I just always find
- 5:27Speaker 1: that it's good offensive teams in the NFC South. Look,
- 5:31Speaker 1: I'm a fundamental guy. I'm not a glamorous guy. Right
- 5:36Speaker 1: I live in the middle of Connecticut. I might be
- 5:40Speaker 1: a media superstar. I might have written seven books, four
- 5:45Speaker 1: of them best sellers. Chad Milman wrote a book. I
- 5:49Speaker 1: might have had glamorous, high profile positions. At some point,
- 5:54Speaker 1: you would expect Milman will show some signs of nerves.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Hasn't done any of that so far. Tonight. I might
- 6:00Speaker 1: be famous. I might have left a hugely powerful job
- 6:05Speaker 1: to help launch a company that's sold three years later
- 6:08Speaker 1: for a quarter of a billion dollars where it is
- 6:12Speaker 1: where I had to make a movie. But in my heart,
- 6:17Speaker 1: in my heart, I'm about the fundamentals. I have always
- 6:20Speaker 1: been someone who loves defense before offense. Now, I guess
- 6:26Speaker 1: since Captive run all night and to me, the fact
- 6:31Speaker 1: that this has always been a division built on offense
- 6:34Speaker 1: speaks to sort of the usfl nature of this division.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Versus what to me, the rest of the NFL is,
- 6:41Speaker 1: which is hit people in the fucking mouth, get great
- 6:44Speaker 1: middle linebackers, run it up their fucking throat, and play
- 6:50Speaker 1: great defense. That's it. That to me is the NFL
- 6:53Speaker 1: that I think is nailing. Why why I've never liked
- 6:56Speaker 1: they are indoor teams playing track meets like that's it.
- 6:59Speaker 1: That's why I don't like the NFC. South. You really
- 7:02Speaker 1: are Mike Tomlin. When I think of Chad, I think
- 7:04Speaker 1: of Mike Tomlin today. You ain't know that that's no
- 7:08Speaker 1: more now, you know what I mean? Dominate this one,
- 7:11Speaker 1: regular guy. I was just done on a FaceTime with
- 7:15Speaker 1: Patrick Keane, who is, as everyone knows, the CEO of
- 7:18Speaker 1: the Action Network. I don't know what you the polos
- 7:20Speaker 1: amateur bolltrap? All right? Do you hear, babe? Do you understand? Night?
- 7:24Speaker 1: And I have to go in the city later today.
- 7:26Speaker 1: I gotta I'm gonna I gotta have dinner with somebody,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and then I got breakfast with somebody. And after that,
- 7:31Speaker 1: my older son is coming into the city. He's gonna
- 7:33Speaker 1: meet me. He's going to college in three weeks. We're
- 7:35Speaker 1: doing one last father son hurrah in the city. On
- 7:38Speaker 1: Friday night and then we're gonna do a bunch of
- 7:40Speaker 1: things on Saturday during the day. Um, and I'm wearing
- 7:44Speaker 1: a black shirt with a collar shortly it's like a
- 7:48Speaker 1: polo type of shirt. And Patrick says to me, he goes,
- 7:51Speaker 1: you're going to the city. I'm like yeah. He goes,
- 7:53Speaker 1: you look good. I'm like thanks. He goes, you got
- 7:55Speaker 1: a new shirt on? I go no, he goes, that's right,
- 7:58Speaker 1: you would never buy a new shirt. That's me, buddy,
- 8:02Speaker 1: jokes on him, chat every shirt some days a new shirt.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Oh so true, my friend. All right, let's get to
- 8:09Speaker 1: the point. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are six and
- 8:15Speaker 1: a half to want to win the super Bowl, second
- 8:17Speaker 1: after the Chiefs. They are one to two to win
- 8:21Speaker 1: their division. Their season win total is twelve. There are
- 8:24Speaker 1: three to one to win the NFC conference title. New
- 8:31Speaker 1: Orleans is thirty one to one to win the super Bowl.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Three to one to win a division nine is their
- 8:40Speaker 1: season win total, sixteen to one to win the conference,
- 8:42Speaker 1: Atlanta si to one, super Bowl eight to one, Division
- 8:47Speaker 1: seven and a half win total one Carolina on Conference
- 8:52Speaker 1: Carolina eight to one, ten to one on the Division
- 8:55Speaker 1: seven and a half win total forty to one to
- 8:57Speaker 1: win the conference. I don't know about you. Moms are
- 9:02Speaker 1: bursting at the moment. How are we not all in
- 9:05Speaker 1: on Carolina at every level? Uh? Sam Donald, That's an
- 9:10Speaker 1: easy answer to that question. We really do. We really
- 9:14Speaker 1: not believe in Sam Donald so much that uh, that
- 9:18Speaker 1: we don't think this is a team we're taking a
- 9:20Speaker 1: flyer on. They're not because I'd rather do it on Atlanta,
- 9:25Speaker 1: where I've seen Matt Ryan do it before. And I've
- 9:28Speaker 1: never seen Sam Donald put together back to back good
- 9:30Speaker 1: games and his entire career, like ever since he's been
- 9:33Speaker 1: on the Jets, I've never seen him have back to
- 9:35Speaker 1: back really good starts. He's kind of like a bipolar quarterback.
- 9:38Speaker 1: He's good, then he's bad. He's bad, he's bad, and
- 9:40Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, he's good again. I have
- 9:43Speaker 1: high hopes from because he's so young. I feel like
- 9:45Speaker 1: maybe they can coach all his bad habits out of him.
- 9:48Speaker 1: But like I told you, we were coming slowly becoming
- 9:51Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon podcast. I don't want it to happen. I
- 9:54Speaker 1: hate Atlanta, but it's just one of those on paper,
- 9:58Speaker 1: um like and my jobs to find you value that's
- 10:02Speaker 1: the best value for this division. And we talked a
- 10:05Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago how I can't get over how
- 10:09Speaker 1: bad the public is at sports spending, the fact that
- 10:11Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are one of the highest bet teams this
- 10:14Speaker 1: year to repeat again. We haven't seen a repeat since
- 10:17Speaker 1: I think Brady didn't know for like a long time
- 10:19Speaker 1: ago a repeat happened, and the same time last year
- 10:24Speaker 1: that the Bucks are twelve the one to win Super Bowl.
- 10:26Speaker 1: They haven't changed at all from this year to last year.
- 10:29Speaker 1: They're literally the exact same team, but now the odds
- 10:31Speaker 1: are cut in half just because of public perception that,
- 10:34Speaker 1: you know, they just want a Super Bowl. People think
- 10:37Speaker 1: they're clearly the best team the NFC, where I don't.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And it's just one of these where if you're just
- 10:42Speaker 1: looking at value, the Buccaneers have zero value. They're they're
- 10:45Speaker 1: literally a Tom Brady injury away. I mean, you could
- 10:48Speaker 1: say for every team that they're injury away for the quarterback.
- 10:51Speaker 1: But no team has a quarterback that's forty four years
- 10:54Speaker 1: old entering this season except the Buccaneers. And I get it,
- 10:58Speaker 1: Tom Brady made amazing plays ast year. We talked all
- 11:01Speaker 1: the time, Chad all the little things have to go
- 11:03Speaker 1: right for the Buccaneers and win that Super Bowl last year.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And it's just so dumb that people are they're just
- 11:09Speaker 1: hurting themselves bett in this number, because again, if they
- 11:12Speaker 1: just wait a month into the season, I promise you're
- 11:15Speaker 1: gonna have better odds. There's just no way the Buccaneers
- 11:17Speaker 1: starting the year four. Now we've just seen it that
- 11:20Speaker 1: even last year they were't a great regular season team.
- 11:22Speaker 1: They lost to your Bears at home. Tom Brady forgot
- 11:24Speaker 1: what down it was. We saw them barely beat the
- 11:26Speaker 1: Giants late in the season. The Giants are an awful team.
- 11:29Speaker 1: So it's one of these where I think people are
- 11:31Speaker 1: just really hyped because of the off season what we
- 11:32Speaker 1: saw last year from the Buccaneers that any team you
- 11:36Speaker 1: bet in this division you're getting good value on simply
- 11:38Speaker 1: because the hype is so high right now in the Buccaneers.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And again, I just don't think that they're one of
- 11:43Speaker 1: these teams that deserve it. That I love Tom Brady,
- 11:46Speaker 1: but I just don't think they're a regular season team.
- 11:48Speaker 1: We saw last year. There are a playoffs. They made
- 11:50Speaker 1: good plays in the playoffs, but the regular season they
- 11:52Speaker 1: were lacking a lot of games. So for me, it's
- 11:55Speaker 1: it's definitely a value based bet here taking Atlanta win
- 11:57Speaker 1: this division of plus seven hundred. That's so interesting. I
- 12:00Speaker 1: do want to say, UH shout out to uh John
- 12:05Speaker 1: Fricky and Hugh Douglas morning radio hosts in Atlanta. For
- 12:11Speaker 1: the past two years. I've been going on Atlanta Radio
- 12:15Speaker 1: every morning at eight forty Eastern every week during the
- 12:19Speaker 1: pandemic all the time. Yesterday, UH I got fired from
- 12:25Speaker 1: Atlanta Radio and from my segment, and UH I got
- 12:32Speaker 1: a call they said they wanna start using somebody else.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Uh it's the company that owns the radio station. Is
- 12:39Speaker 1: Odyssey used to be known as Intercom. We had to
- 12:43Speaker 1: deal with Intercom for me. Stucky Colin Wilson a bunch
- 12:47Speaker 1: of people to do radio hits on enter Com stations
- 12:52Speaker 1: for the two thousand nineteen football season and it was
- 12:55Speaker 1: all over the country right there, like thirty stations. You know,
- 12:57Speaker 1: there are a bunch of us doing it. I was
- 12:59Speaker 1: doing a bunch of them. And when the season ended,
- 13:03Speaker 1: the deal was up, Like at the end of two
- 13:04Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, early in two thousand twenty, the deal was up.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I expected them to stop calling me, but two stations
- 13:12Speaker 1: kept calling me and every week eight forty in Atlanta,
- 13:16Speaker 1: nine o'clock in Baltimore, every single week, and I'm like, okay,
- 13:20Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, if they want to keep calling me,
- 13:23Speaker 1: it's ten minutes. I'll keep talking. I like the guys,
- 13:26Speaker 1: this guy John Freaky in Atlanta knows everything about gambling.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Clearly from the first time we spoke, he was like more,
- 13:34Speaker 1: he understood more about sports betting than anyone I was
- 13:36Speaker 1: talking to. So I kept doing it. They kept calling
- 13:39Speaker 1: during the pandemic. They called every week last season, they
- 13:41Speaker 1: kept calling every week this season. I let them know
- 13:43Speaker 1: when I'm going on vacations so they didn't call me.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Like yesterday, on Monday, I get a call from a
- 13:48Speaker 1: buddy of mine there who's a high ranking executive. He's like, so,
- 13:51Speaker 1: it turns out at the at the national level, we
- 13:55Speaker 1: didn't realize you were still doing the shows, and they
- 13:58Speaker 1: bought a company that is focused on sports betting, and
- 14:01Speaker 1: they want to use those people, so we can't use
- 14:03Speaker 1: you anymore. I'm like, okay, But every single I'm like,
- 14:06Speaker 1: I'm surprised I was still doing it. I can't believe
- 14:09Speaker 1: you guys do this long to call me and tell
- 14:11Speaker 1: me to stop doing the show. And um, every single
- 14:14Speaker 1: week I went on Atlanta Radio, I would all I
- 14:16Speaker 1: would do was ripped the Atlanta Falcons. That's it. That's
- 14:22Speaker 1: been me ever since the Super Bowl. I just felt
- 14:24Speaker 1: like that team was broken and it's one of those
- 14:27Speaker 1: things where they did it. They've done a cleanse. Now
- 14:29Speaker 1: they're putting up gen rid of all these guys from
- 14:31Speaker 1: that team. Um, again we talked about the off seas.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I wouldn't let you bet on them because I just
- 14:38Speaker 1: every year people have bet on Atlanta. I'm just like,
- 14:40Speaker 1: this is a loser franchise. But I just love the
- 14:44Speaker 1: value that they're getting this year, just because it's one
- 14:46Speaker 1: of those where people have the same mentality we've had
- 14:48Speaker 1: for the last three or four years, like these guys suck.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Why bet anything on Atlanta? Where I look at Arthur
- 14:54Speaker 1: Smith and I think myself, Okay, is this the year
- 14:57Speaker 1: I can get the advantage of betting this guy where
- 14:59Speaker 1: it's his first you're in Atlanta, no one's seen it coming.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Everyone's still you know, we're not really sure about the
- 15:04Speaker 1: Saints because again, the Saints won this division last year.
- 15:07Speaker 1: They were two and oh against the Bucks in the
- 15:09Speaker 1: regular season. They dominated them in the regular season. UM.
- 15:13Speaker 1: So it is interesting where the Saints are still what
- 15:16Speaker 1: let's see their plus three thirty to win this division
- 15:19Speaker 1: on vandal It's interesting to me that that that odds
- 15:23Speaker 1: are three thirty in Atlanta's plus seven hundred. I mean
- 15:27Speaker 1: to me, the Saints that I know where the quarterback
- 15:29Speaker 1: is right now, and the fact that they have the
- 15:31Speaker 1: second highest odds, it just feels like you're getting really
- 15:34Speaker 1: good value here on the simple fact that people just
- 15:36Speaker 1: do not want to bet Atlanta and they're tired of Atlanta.
- 15:39Speaker 1: And it's one of the things where we might be
- 15:41Speaker 1: able to get a year early before people catch up
- 15:43Speaker 1: to this team and get on this train. So plus
- 15:45Speaker 1: seven hundred chat, that's that's crazy good value that you're
- 15:49Speaker 1: You're completely turning me around. Um And I do think
- 15:53Speaker 1: we have to have an Arthur Smith conversation because we
- 15:59Speaker 1: we talk a lot about the Titans and and this
- 16:02Speaker 1: was before the Ryan Tannehill conversation. UM, I mean before
- 16:08Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had injured had injured his foot, and there
- 16:12Speaker 1: was uncertainty about when is he gonna play, and we
- 16:14Speaker 1: all thought Carson Wentz to be playing and we thought
- 16:17Speaker 1: there'd be a step up with the Colts with Carson
- 16:19Speaker 1: wentz Um, and we thought in Frank Right and as
- 16:22Speaker 1: the coach, we thought there'd be a step down for
- 16:24Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill because he lost Arthur Smith. And I feel
- 16:29Speaker 1: like if our logic is going to be Arthur Smith
- 16:31Speaker 1: was that important for Ryan Tannehill even as a head coach,
- 16:35Speaker 1: he can still have an impact on Matt Ryan and
- 16:38Speaker 1: the offense, then we need to give them a bump up, right,
- 16:42Speaker 1: Like we have to invest in the Arthur Smith if
- 16:44Speaker 1: we're going to divest from the Titans because he's not
- 16:48Speaker 1: there anymore. And also the Titans, do you not that
- 16:51Speaker 1: they're panicking, but they signed Julio That's a move where
- 16:53Speaker 1: they're just like, Okay, even though we're gonna have a
- 16:56Speaker 1: j Brown, we already bested a high draft pick and
- 16:58Speaker 1: Corey Davis. We need to go out there and get
- 17:00Speaker 1: Julio Jones because we just need to make sure that
- 17:02Speaker 1: tan Hill is everything he needs to have the best year.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Where they did the zac same thing on Lanta Elena.
- 17:08Speaker 1: I still not over the fact they passed on Justin Fields.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I don't get it at all. Matt Ryan has just
- 17:13Speaker 1: been a corpse in this league ever since that Super
- 17:15Speaker 1: Bowl run. And like it's the fact that they did
- 17:19Speaker 1: that shows this front offense is in a win now mode. Okay,
- 17:22Speaker 1: they passed on the quarterback of the future with the
- 17:24Speaker 1: they have a veteran quarterback where they're paying I mean,
- 17:26Speaker 1: I don't even know. It might be forty million this
- 17:28Speaker 1: year to Matt Ryan. He I think he's the highest
- 17:30Speaker 1: paid quarterback in the league or maybe number two. And
- 17:33Speaker 1: the fact they took Pitts, who, again, the hype is
- 17:37Speaker 1: so real in this kid. Like all the fantasy guys
- 17:39Speaker 1: they have him projected it to have the greatest rookie
- 17:42Speaker 1: season ever as a tight end, which again Chead, we
- 17:44Speaker 1: know that just doesn't happen. We we talked about it before.
- 17:47Speaker 1: My whole reason of being down on pitch was just because, Okay,
- 17:51Speaker 1: the best three tight ends of football right now Kelsey
- 17:54Speaker 1: fifth round pick, Kittle, fifth round pick, Waller. I think
- 17:58Speaker 1: he was drafted and got cut by the ball part.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Ravens got picked up by Oakland. That's the top Vegas.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Vegas picked up by Vegas. Damn it um. But yeah,
- 18:08Speaker 1: it's it's just one of those. That's only reason I
- 18:10Speaker 1: was so down the pits thing, but now that he's
- 18:12Speaker 1: on the team, I can't deny the talent. This kid
- 18:14Speaker 1: is unreal. I mean just watching their practice footage, he
- 18:19Speaker 1: does not drop the ball. Anything that's in his radius,
- 18:21Speaker 1: he's gonna catch it. Okay. And now we have Calvin
- 18:23Speaker 1: Ridley as well, who is graded out as a top
- 18:26Speaker 1: five pass catcher and football. Now that he's running that show,
- 18:28Speaker 1: like again, his eyes have been been up really high
- 18:31Speaker 1: to lead the league in yards. So if I'm just
- 18:33Speaker 1: going on base offense of the talent they have and
- 18:35Speaker 1: now bringing in Arthur Smith, who I think a really
- 18:38Speaker 1: smart offensive mine, I mean, chat, how can ween not
- 18:41Speaker 1: bet this team. It's just one of these things where
- 18:43Speaker 1: the arrow is just putting up in so many different
- 18:45Speaker 1: ways for this Atlanta Falcon team. Oh my god, you
- 18:48Speaker 1: have totally convinced me. It's it's it's making me crazy.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Let's keep focusing on Atlanta for one more second. We're
- 18:58Speaker 1: not betting on Atlanta sixty for to one to win
- 19:00Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I mean I did, but like it's
- 19:05Speaker 1: hard for me, Yeah, but it was. It was even
- 19:07Speaker 1: better odds than that. I think it was at seventy
- 19:09Speaker 1: one at that point that I got it. But it's
- 19:11Speaker 1: one of those where I haven't posted in the app
- 19:13Speaker 1: because it's I don't want people to do it. It's
- 19:16Speaker 1: it's honestly, like one of these bets I'm I'm making
- 19:19Speaker 1: by I truly have zero confidence in because I I
- 19:22Speaker 1: just think that how can you come back from three?
- 19:27Speaker 1: I just I I just can't see a team ever
- 19:29Speaker 1: coming back to that. So they might make the playoffs,
- 19:32Speaker 1: but it's gonna be in the fourth quarter, Matt Ryan's
- 19:35Speaker 1: gonna be up six points and he's gonna throw some
- 19:37Speaker 1: picks six or something terrible. Because like, it's just one
- 19:39Speaker 1: of these things that that has to be haunting someone
- 19:41Speaker 1: for the rest of their life. So that's why I, like,
- 19:43Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend betting them for the Super Bowl for
- 19:46Speaker 1: best odds and value. I think it's just divisional wise,
- 19:49Speaker 1: it's plus that plus seven hundreds by far the best
- 19:51Speaker 1: value for this team. I mean, someday somebody on that team,
- 19:54Speaker 1: they're gonna have to relieve themselves from the stench of
- 20:00Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. It can't be a legacy that hangs
- 20:02Speaker 1: on the team year after year, after the coach is gone,
- 20:06Speaker 1: after the quarterback is gone, Chad, what was that a
- 20:09Speaker 1: hundred years? You're not wrong. I mean, you know how
- 20:13Speaker 1: these things work. Man. It's like again, as an Eagles fan,
- 20:16Speaker 1: I still can't believe it took us with a backup
- 20:18Speaker 1: quarterback to take down Tom Brady for us to win
- 20:21Speaker 1: a super Bowl. It's like for you to get over
- 20:23Speaker 1: a curse. Teams need a miracle, and I don't know,
- 20:27Speaker 1: I just can't see Atlanta having a miracle. They don't.
- 20:29Speaker 1: It feels like we're twenty years away from Atlanta getting
- 20:31Speaker 1: Super Bowl, that that's the next regime. But I do
- 20:33Speaker 1: like what they're doing for this year alone. All right,
- 20:36Speaker 1: So eight to one, God, you've got me totally seven
- 20:39Speaker 1: seven to one, You've got me totally convinced that that
- 20:44Speaker 1: is the team to bet in the NFC South Value
- 20:50Speaker 1: Best Value Tampa one to two, uh, New Orleans three
- 20:54Speaker 1: to one, Atlanta seven to one. Caroline attended one. UH.
- 20:58Speaker 1: The total on um UH Atlanta is seven and a
- 21:04Speaker 1: half to one. If you like him at seven to
- 21:07Speaker 1: one to win the division, should we also be betting
- 21:10Speaker 1: them over seven and a half. Yeah? The wind sold
- 21:12Speaker 1: was interesting. They have seven a half and so does Carolina.
- 21:15Speaker 1: It was kind of interesting. With the bookmakers say, Okay,
- 21:17Speaker 1: one of these teams isn't is you know, probably gonna
- 21:20Speaker 1: win four games. You guys have to figure out which
- 21:22Speaker 1: one that is. So for me, just look on paper
- 21:25Speaker 1: and the coaching staffs. Again, nothing against Matt Rule. I
- 21:28Speaker 1: thought he did a great job there last year. They've
- 21:30Speaker 1: had have plenty of tough games, especially with Teddy Bridgewater
- 21:32Speaker 1: as a quarterback. But I cannot do it, cannot back
- 21:36Speaker 1: Sam Donald. I just I need to see it to
- 21:40Speaker 1: believe it. I'm one of those people where like I
- 21:42Speaker 1: might miss a year and I might be late on that,
- 21:43Speaker 1: but I feel safe for betting against it than betting Ford.
- 21:47Speaker 1: So for them, I'm on the Underworth Carolina. I was
- 21:51Speaker 1: actually liked the over on the Saints, but now going
- 21:55Speaker 1: through the roster losing Michael Thomas, they've lost two d tackles. Um,
- 22:00Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like a big deal. That's a huge
- 22:01Speaker 1: deal for that team because they didn't really have great
- 22:04Speaker 1: backups to start with for their for their D line.
- 22:06Speaker 1: So I know the Saints that when the best old
- 22:09Speaker 1: lines on football. I am a believer that they're gonna
- 22:11Speaker 1: change everything. They're gonna make it. The offense towards Taysom
- 22:14Speaker 1: Hill again, we saw him start the preseason Game one,
- 22:17Speaker 1: even though he's still the under, the underdog start Week one. UM,
- 22:21Speaker 1: I cannot take the Saints over nine anymore. It's one
- 22:24Speaker 1: of those where it feels like this will be a
- 22:28Speaker 1: rebuilding year where I was kind of high on the
- 22:29Speaker 1: Saints that, Okay, they have the pieces in place, it
- 22:32Speaker 1: seems like they're just gonna have a season from hell.
- 22:34Speaker 1: They're gonna have a lot of injuries. They're gonna have,
- 22:35Speaker 1: you know, just woes with Taysom Hill because like we
- 22:38Speaker 1: just watching that preseason game, he does not look like
- 22:41Speaker 1: a legit starter. And then when Winston came in again,
- 22:44Speaker 1: Winston looked terrible. But I cannot see Sean Payton starting
- 22:48Speaker 1: a guy who throw thirty interceptions in the season for
- 22:50Speaker 1: a whole year. He just does not fit that offense.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So again I'm gonna fade that as well. And with
- 22:56Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, I have to bet the under. I mean
- 22:59Speaker 1: it's rare. It's rare you have a team like Kansas
- 23:02Speaker 1: City Chiefs last year. I think they're fourteen and two. Um,
- 23:06Speaker 1: that was crazy, Like the fact that they won a
- 23:08Speaker 1: Super Bowl and in the following year they are fourteen
- 23:10Speaker 1: to two. I think that says more about again the
- 23:14Speaker 1: division they were in and the kind of stuff they're
- 23:15Speaker 1: playing against with the Chiefs where this year the Buccaneers,
- 23:19Speaker 1: they're the young one, the youngest teams in all football. Again,
- 23:22Speaker 1: they have Tom Brady, Okay, he's a great leader. That
- 23:25Speaker 1: defense is incredibly young. The offensive line is very young
- 23:28Speaker 1: as well. So for me, if I need to fade
- 23:31Speaker 1: a team coming off the Super Bowl, I want to
- 23:32Speaker 1: fade a team that's very young. Again, we saw it
- 23:34Speaker 1: happen in the forty nine years. They made it two
- 23:37Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They completely fell apart the next year because
- 23:39Speaker 1: they were a young team. We saw with the Rams
- 23:41Speaker 1: and they were a young team they made always two
- 23:43Speaker 1: Super Bowl they kind of fell apart the following season.
- 23:45Speaker 1: So that's what I'm betting on. I'm trying of betting
- 23:47Speaker 1: on the over, the overturn of the league and the
- 23:49Speaker 1: fact that everyone in their grandma as we've been on
- 23:52Speaker 1: the buck this year, they're they're just such a high
- 23:54Speaker 1: team because they brought back every single starter. So that's
- 23:58Speaker 1: what my job is. People, my job trying to find
- 24:00Speaker 1: value on betting against these kind of things because it
- 24:02Speaker 1: happens a lot these teams used. It just does not
- 24:05Speaker 1: work out the way people think it's gonna work out. So,
- 24:07Speaker 1: just on value alone, I have to bet the Buccaneers
- 24:10Speaker 1: under it, just because that's such a high number for them.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I think it's what twelve now for their one. Yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 1: it's too high, so I have to I have to
- 24:18Speaker 1: take that under again. I get it. People seventeen game schedule,
- 24:21Speaker 1: I know, but it's one of those where eleven and
- 24:25Speaker 1: seven sounds or eleven and six sounds more normal than
- 24:28Speaker 1: them going twelve and five or twelve, and you know,
- 24:31Speaker 1: it's just really hard for them to get above that
- 24:34Speaker 1: one tour. That's why Vegas sets it at that number
- 24:36Speaker 1: because they know people are gonna betting that over. Yeah,
- 24:38Speaker 1: at this point with the bus, you're not fading the
- 24:41Speaker 1: box is a team so much as you're fading the public.
- 24:45Speaker 1: And what it's done to the number. I mean one
- 24:49Speaker 1: to two to win the division, that's ridiculous. I don't
- 24:53Speaker 1: know that there's any other division where the odds that
- 24:56Speaker 1: we should look this up on the Action Network app.
- 24:58Speaker 1: It's free, it's award winning. People should check it out.
- 25:01Speaker 1: But I'm gonna look right now, at every other conference.
- 25:04Speaker 1: A f C North Nope Ravens plus one fifteen to
- 25:09Speaker 1: win the division. A f C South UH Titans are
- 25:13Speaker 1: minus one fifty, all right, so they're a little bit
- 25:16Speaker 1: they're not quite one to two. They're one to one fifty.
- 25:20Speaker 1: UM A f C East Bills minus one fifty. Okay, UH,
- 25:26Speaker 1: NFC North Packers minus one six five. This will be
- 25:30Speaker 1: a key test right here. A f C West Kansas
- 25:34Speaker 1: City minus to seventy. So there you go. It's that
- 25:37Speaker 1: that's the one team that UH is a bigger favorite
- 25:43Speaker 1: to win their division than the Buccaneers Dallas plus one
- 25:47Speaker 1: thirty in the NFC East and in the NFC West
- 25:49Speaker 1: San Francisco plus Okay. It's a good little exercise right there. Uh.
- 25:53Speaker 1: That shows how dominant the Chiefs are, because I mean,
- 25:56Speaker 1: does any team getting more hyped in the Chargers and
- 25:58Speaker 1: they're in their own division, they're still big of a
- 26:00Speaker 1: favorite where we have nothing like that in this division.
- 26:03Speaker 1: There is no No one's hyping up Atlanta, no one's
- 26:06Speaker 1: hyping up Carolina. No it's hyping up the Saints. It's
- 26:08Speaker 1: kind of one of these divisions where people are looking
- 26:09Speaker 1: to go it's the Bucks let's move on to the
- 26:12Speaker 1: next one. It's just that's that's what I'm looking for.
- 26:14Speaker 1: I'm looking for these division When people look at that, yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 1: that's an easy once the Buccaneers and they just move
- 26:18Speaker 1: on to the next one where again, Oh my god,
- 26:21Speaker 1: I can't believe this has turned into an Atlanta Falcons podcast.
- 26:26Speaker 1: You're not even kidding, because if we're looking at this division,
- 26:30Speaker 1: you've already taken the Falcons. You said it's seventy to
- 26:32Speaker 1: one to win the super Bowl. You like them at
- 26:35Speaker 1: seven to one to win the division. You like they're
- 26:38Speaker 1: over seven and a half win total, so you must
- 26:42Speaker 1: like one to win the conference? Like it. And I also,
- 26:48Speaker 1: we got our good friend man. Don't you're here reaching
- 26:50Speaker 1: out to us? Do you want me to read these
- 26:51Speaker 1: betch chatter? Do you want to read them all? Because
- 26:52Speaker 1: I know you love these Matt Ryan props. Dude, I
- 26:55Speaker 1: was gonna get there. I'm i'm, i'm, i'm I'm unpacking
- 26:58Speaker 1: the entirety of the team, and then I want to
- 27:01Speaker 1: get to the Matt Ryan props. So give me your
- 27:03Speaker 1: answer on the conference and then I want to get
- 27:05Speaker 1: to Matt Ryan. Of course I bet that if I
- 27:08Speaker 1: if I bet SUPERO. I bet conference as well. But
- 27:10Speaker 1: again it's it's one of these where I don't feel
- 27:13Speaker 1: confident in giving it out. That's why I don't put
- 27:14Speaker 1: in the app. Like again, this is Atlanta Falcons podcast.
- 27:18Speaker 1: We're also on Miami Dolphins podcast. I'm gonna be hyping
- 27:20Speaker 1: out Miami all year that when I did give out,
- 27:23Speaker 1: I did give them out to when the Super Bowl
- 27:24Speaker 1: because I believe in their defense. And that's That's one
- 27:27Speaker 1: of these things where if I'm gonna be betting a
- 27:29Speaker 1: Super Bowl future at this point of the year, I
- 27:31Speaker 1: have to believe in a defense, and people, you can
- 27:35Speaker 1: do your own research. I don't have to tell you
- 27:36Speaker 1: Atlanta's defense is horrible. This is an awful, awful defense.
- 27:40Speaker 1: So it's one of these where I'm betting on the
- 27:43Speaker 1: offense and the quarterback and I can't. I can't give
- 27:45Speaker 1: out Super Bowl futures to a team that, again, their defense,
- 27:49Speaker 1: I have them graded out on the bottom five. So
- 27:51Speaker 1: it's hard for me to tell people to bet those
- 27:53Speaker 1: those long shot futures just because of that. All right, Well,
- 27:56Speaker 1: then let's talk about Matt Ryan because you mentioned Kyle Pits,
- 28:00Speaker 1: you talked about Calvin Ridley, Calvin Ridley, in the sort
- 28:06Speaker 1: of earlier in the off season, had much longer odds
- 28:11Speaker 1: to lead the league in receiving yards. He's down to
- 28:15Speaker 1: about six to one best odds, but I think he
- 28:18Speaker 1: was at eighteen or but now. But what's interesting is
- 28:22Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's odds to lead the league in passing yards
- 28:26Speaker 1: have not improved greatly. He's a thirteen to one at FanDuel.
- 28:33Speaker 1: That feels like an auto bet to me. Uh. He's
- 28:37Speaker 1: at thirty eight to one to have the most passing
- 28:40Speaker 1: touchdowns and the over under on his total yards is
- 28:44Speaker 1: four thousand, five hundred and fifty point five. I don't
- 28:48Speaker 1: know how I feel about the total yardage, but well,
- 28:53Speaker 1: I guess I I guess I feel good about it
- 28:55Speaker 1: because I think you're gonna need more than yards to
- 28:57Speaker 1: lead the league in passing and I feel good it
- 29:00Speaker 1: about betting him att one to leave the league in
- 29:03Speaker 1: passing yards. I like those um of a simple thing
- 29:08Speaker 1: we talked about last year with Shaun Watson. He was
- 29:10Speaker 1: on an awful team with an awful defense, he led
- 29:12Speaker 1: the league in passing yards. So this year, I mean,
- 29:15Speaker 1: guys are really staying out, are Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott,
- 29:19Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and then Trevor Lawrence, who also has a
- 29:22Speaker 1: terrible defense. You're just looking for guys that they're gonna
- 29:24Speaker 1: be throwing the ball a lot, because again, last year,
- 29:27Speaker 1: before you got hold Joe Burrow, I think he was
- 29:29Speaker 1: like third in passing yards before he got because the
- 29:31Speaker 1: Bengals defense was horrible and he was throwing it like
- 29:33Speaker 1: fifty times a game. So that's what people need to
- 29:36Speaker 1: look out these passing yards things. You're not looking for
- 29:38Speaker 1: the guy like Mahomes. We know mo Homes the best.
- 29:40Speaker 1: We know him and Brady are the best. This is
- 29:43Speaker 1: not something they're gonna win. There are two good of
- 29:44Speaker 1: teams with too good a defense to win this kind
- 29:46Speaker 1: of thing. So I actually really liked that thirty eight
- 29:50Speaker 1: to one most passing TVs on Vanduel. That's that's pretty
- 29:53Speaker 1: tasty because again we saw a Tannhall last year. Tanna
- 29:57Speaker 1: had a lot of quick passes inside the red zone.
- 30:00Speaker 1: And I don't know that that uh that four to
- 30:05Speaker 1: one m v P, I don't know if I do
- 30:07Speaker 1: that one because I don't know if they could enough
- 30:08Speaker 1: win lost record to win that, and uh, I don't know.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I just don't feel like the value is good enough
- 30:13Speaker 1: because I feel like Matt ran should be me lower
- 30:15Speaker 1: than that, like he should be fifty two one, just
- 30:17Speaker 1: because it's been so long since we've seen him play
- 30:20Speaker 1: at m VP level. It just feels like that's that's
- 30:23Speaker 1: been bet up a little bit before you to one.
- 30:25Speaker 1: But do you like Matt Ryan one for the most
- 30:28Speaker 1: passing yards. I feel like that's some bed down as well.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I would take it. I mean, like looking at the
- 30:36Speaker 1: list of the guys ahead of him, it's it's a
- 30:38Speaker 1: fair value. Like Justin Herbert's right ahead of him. Um,
- 30:42Speaker 1: tom Brady's ahead of him. That's an awful bet. Tom
- 30:44Speaker 1: Brady lead the league in passing yards. Again, the guy
- 30:46Speaker 1: is forty four years old. Okay, he ain't leading the
- 30:49Speaker 1: league in passing yards. That team is gonna be wrong.
- 30:51Speaker 1: The ball a lot um Josh Allen to lead the
- 30:54Speaker 1: league in passing yards. Josh Allen plays outdoor in northern
- 30:58Speaker 1: New York. People don't be so dumb to make these
- 31:01Speaker 1: kind of bets. Like, just take a steck back and
- 31:03Speaker 1: think for a second. I really betting Josh Allen the
- 31:06Speaker 1: lead to leave in passing No, that that's not a
- 31:09Speaker 1: thing built to happen. Matt Ryan plays half the games indoors.
- 31:13Speaker 1: That's that's what you're looking for. You you're looking for
- 31:14Speaker 1: people the best situations. Again last year to Shaun Watson,
- 31:18Speaker 1: he played indoor. We've seen and Drew Brees multiple years
- 31:21Speaker 1: leading the league in passing he played indoor. That's the
- 31:23Speaker 1: kind of things you're looking for. People just don't try
- 31:26Speaker 1: to overthink these things. It's so simple, but people just go, oh, well,
- 31:30Speaker 1: it's Josh Allen. He was up for m v P
- 31:32Speaker 1: last year. Of course, I'll bet him the lead to
- 31:33Speaker 1: lead in passing yards. You don't want to do that.
- 31:36Speaker 1: You're trying to look for the best long shot and
- 31:37Speaker 1: best odds. So I don't hate that Matt Ryan, but
- 31:39Speaker 1: he's been beat down at one. I definitely saw him
- 31:42Speaker 1: at twenty to one earlier in the year. All right,
- 31:44Speaker 1: then I'm taking Matt Ryan to one to lead the
- 31:48Speaker 1: league in passing touchdowns. I love it. I love it unconditionally,
- 31:55Speaker 1: like I love Matt Mitchell. That's how I feel about
- 31:58Speaker 1: that prop right now. Uh not is he playing half
- 32:00Speaker 1: his games inside? Who play more than that? Because who
- 32:04Speaker 1: have games against the Saints inside? Then? Uh two other
- 32:09Speaker 1: games for other games will be in comfortable weather in
- 32:14Speaker 1: Tampa and Carolina. And he's throwing to Calvin Ridley, He's
- 32:19Speaker 1: throwing to Kyle Pitts. I don't know how Matt Ryan
- 32:23Speaker 1: isn't the odds un favorite for every passing total prop
- 32:27Speaker 1: and again, people four, they came a fourth place in
- 32:31Speaker 1: their division, fourth place schedule. That's a big deal. Like
- 32:34Speaker 1: you just heard the team's Chad mentioned trash. That's what
- 32:36Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing again. So I'm with you, Chad.
- 32:39Speaker 1: I'm told you, I'm way too hyped. I'm way too
- 32:41Speaker 1: hyped Ay Atlanta and Miami Dolphins. It's like one of
- 32:43Speaker 1: these things where I might have to bang us from
- 32:45Speaker 1: bettingham week one because I'm so blinded by the lighter
- 32:47Speaker 1: right now. Boxing legend Mannipacia returns to the ring this

- 34:39Speaker 1: in the Division seven and a half season win total
- 34:41Speaker 1: forty to one and win the conference. I know you
- 34:43Speaker 1: don't like any of these things. You've already said you
- 34:45Speaker 1: liked the under you're against Sam Donald. This to me
- 34:49Speaker 1: is where my innate fundamentals. I'm your average guy. I
- 34:55Speaker 1: love Matt Rule as a coach, and I'm willing to
- 35:00Speaker 1: bet on Matt Rule figuring something out to make this
- 35:04Speaker 1: team to will this team to eight wins. And that's
- 35:10Speaker 1: all fair. But the biggest problem, like again I'm talking
- 35:14Speaker 1: about about Sam Donald, I bet him in a D
- 35:16Speaker 1: one to win m v P. Do I believe in
- 35:18Speaker 1: that at all? No, just like I don't believe in
- 35:20Speaker 1: Trey Lance win m VP. But I can't not bet it.
- 35:23Speaker 1: It's one of these I only have to hit it
- 35:24Speaker 1: once every hundred years and I'm good, so I don't know.
- 35:27Speaker 1: It's one of these where I get what you're saying.
- 35:30Speaker 1: I love the head coach, but the defense has been
- 35:33Speaker 1: totally rebuilt. They're very young on the defensive side and
- 35:36Speaker 1: then all offensive side nothing against Christian McCaffrey, but he
- 35:40Speaker 1: went out that team really didn't miss a beat. They're
- 35:42Speaker 1: kind of like good and bad, the same team they
- 35:44Speaker 1: were before Christian McCaffrey. So of course he's an upgrade
- 35:47Speaker 1: over last year's running back, but it's not that big
- 35:50Speaker 1: of an upgrade to that team in general. And for
- 35:53Speaker 1: them to be really good, they're gonna need same Donald
- 35:55Speaker 1: take a step that he's never taken. Okay, he's I
- 35:58Speaker 1: think this is your four, now your five. Being in
- 36:00Speaker 1: this league, I just have to bet against it. It's
- 36:03Speaker 1: one of these things where again, if he had just
- 36:07Speaker 1: shown me a good season, like Carson Wentz showed me
- 36:10Speaker 1: one good season. That's why they I'm finally believing that
- 36:11Speaker 1: corson Wentz and him working out for the Colts. Sam
- 36:14Speaker 1: Donald's they're even sniffed that he's never even I think
- 36:17Speaker 1: thrown over twenty touchdowns in the season Herbert through twenty
- 36:20Speaker 1: eight touchdowns last year. I guess what, we know Herbert's
- 36:22Speaker 1: got it. We don't think Sam Donald's got it. That's
- 36:24Speaker 1: the problem where it's like you can be surrounded by trash,
- 36:28Speaker 1: talent's gonna usually win out, and it's one of these
- 36:31Speaker 1: where I was way too high on him coming out
- 36:34Speaker 1: of college. I thought the brown has made a terrible
- 36:36Speaker 1: decision when the Browns passed on him they took Baker.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Who's to say still okay, neither of these guys like
- 36:41Speaker 1: Baker didn't even sign a new contract yet, so who
- 36:43Speaker 1: really knows if the Browns even believe in Baker. But
- 36:46Speaker 1: Baker has been better than Sam Donald. He's He's definitely
- 36:49Speaker 1: looked better and been a better professional. So it's one
- 36:52Speaker 1: of these where Caroline, I think there's still a year
- 36:55Speaker 1: away that this will be one of those years where
- 36:57Speaker 1: they're gonna try to have him figure out that offense,
- 37:00Speaker 1: kind of get rid of all his demons from the Jets.
- 37:02Speaker 1: And this defense needs another year to improve because again
- 37:05Speaker 1: it's a brand new defense. They literally last year they
- 37:08Speaker 1: drafted nine different guys for this defense. So it's one
- 37:11Speaker 1: of these where I'm gonna I'm gonna take a year
- 37:12Speaker 1: and wait on this Panthers team because I do think
- 37:14Speaker 1: their future is great, but this year they're just too
- 37:17Speaker 1: far behind the other teams in this division. Here's what
- 37:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I disagree with you. I don't think
- 37:22Speaker 1: Sam Donald is a year away. I think that he
- 37:28Speaker 1: probably has more potential then we believe we have seen
- 37:33Speaker 1: on the field, and he is being put in the
- 37:36Speaker 1: right position to execute against that. And because he is
- 37:40Speaker 1: playing against defenses that just aren't very good, he's going
- 37:44Speaker 1: to get a chance to prove himself and probably sneak
- 37:47Speaker 1: a couple of wins in ways that we probably didn't
- 37:50Speaker 1: expect from Sam Donald given what we've seen from him
- 37:52Speaker 1: so far. So I am going to go against you
- 37:55Speaker 1: Simon respectfully, respect al g respect but I think the
- 38:04Speaker 1: Panthers go over seven and a half wins. Wow. I
- 38:08Speaker 1: mean again, it's it's just one of the things where
- 38:11Speaker 1: you're going against history. The only quarterback we've seen leave
- 38:13Speaker 1: a team to go another team and improved was Tannehill.
- 38:15Speaker 1: It feels like over the last twenty years, that's it.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Don you think of anyone else. I defy history. Uh,
- 38:27Speaker 1: current Warner went from the St. Louis Rams to the
- 38:30Speaker 1: Giants to the Arizona Cardinals. You could argue he improved
- 38:34Speaker 1: from the Giants to the Arizona Cardinals. That's fair, But
- 38:39Speaker 1: it's also one of those where it's like, I know,
- 38:41Speaker 1: but Sam Donald didn't take a team to the Super
- 38:43Speaker 1: Bowl beforehand. You know, uh, what about I'm telling you
- 38:50Speaker 1: have to go way back because that's the way the
- 38:51Speaker 1: NFL is now. It's like you're David Carr. You might
- 38:54Speaker 1: be all the world in college, you come to the league,
- 38:57Speaker 1: you get sacked five years straight and the rest of
- 38:59Speaker 1: your life. If you're seeing ghosts, it's just one of
- 39:01Speaker 1: these things. They can't coach it out of the guys.
- 39:03Speaker 1: That's my fear of Sam Donald. I can't know what
- 39:05Speaker 1: you're saying. You're you're trying to bring in the seeing
- 39:07Speaker 1: ghosts comment into the podcast just to denigrate my choice
- 39:12Speaker 1: of the Carolina Panthers going over seven and a half wins.
- 39:15Speaker 1: It's just mean, Simon, are you kidding me? The guy
- 39:20Speaker 1: asked for something spooky, he said, give me something spooky. Um.
- 39:24Speaker 1: I think we've kind of said everything we need to
- 39:26Speaker 1: say about the NFC South because there's not that much
- 39:30Speaker 1: to say about Tampa. You've said it fade everything. You're
- 39:32Speaker 1: just gonna fade the public on Tampa Bay New Orleans.
- 39:36Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of faith in right now
- 39:37Speaker 1: because we still don't know what they're gonna do. You
- 39:39Speaker 1: expect somewhat of a Taysom Hill oriented offense. You expect
- 39:45Speaker 1: it to be focused on him, but there's still a
- 39:48Speaker 1: lot of question marks. So we are going to be
- 39:51Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons fans. We're gonna go in on Matt Ryan
- 39:53Speaker 1: at thirty eight to one for the most passing touchdowns.
- 39:57Speaker 1: We're gonna go in on Atlanta eight to one the
- 39:59Speaker 1: wind of vision, win of it to win the division.
- 40:02Speaker 1: We're going to go in on Atlanta over seven and
- 40:04Speaker 1: a half wins. I love it, you bet. I think
- 40:08Speaker 1: tonight for this preseason game, are you just like going
- 40:11Speaker 1: to New York. I'm not been this preseason game to
- 40:12Speaker 1: New York. I'm not even thinking about it. Well, in
- 40:16Speaker 1: case people don't check the Action app, which again I've
- 40:18Speaker 1: sold out big time people. Now I don't pust plays
- 40:21Speaker 1: on Twitter. I put him in the Action app for
- 40:23Speaker 1: checking straight. Um, I have one player for this upcoming weekend.
- 40:27Speaker 1: I did the Miami Dolphins parlayd with the Tennessee Titans.
- 40:31Speaker 1: So it's um, whatever, I bet too grand and win
- 40:34Speaker 1: four grand. Uh so you know, not bad to units
- 40:38Speaker 1: for uh? Two units went four units people. So it's
- 40:41Speaker 1: one of these where I know the Buccketeers are sitting
- 40:43Speaker 1: their starters and I've seen Atlanta. Atlanta's backups are terrible
- 40:48Speaker 1: and they're not playing starters either, So I do like
- 40:50Speaker 1: Miami Tennessee in a parlay this weekend. By the way,
- 40:52Speaker 1: I remember what I wanted to say when you said it.
- 40:56Speaker 1: You said that you have a one and twenty one
- 41:00Speaker 1: bet on Sam Donald to win the m v P.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Don't give me your fucking units. How much did you
- 41:08Speaker 1: bet on Sam Donald? At a hundred? Always a grand
- 41:12Speaker 1: if I ever, if I ever post an NFL future,
- 41:14Speaker 1: it's always just a straight grand because it's easier to
- 41:16Speaker 1: track where I bet a grand. I went a D
- 41:18Speaker 1: twenty kt. That's easy to track to me betting k
- 41:22Speaker 1: and winning whatever is seventy five thousand, so it's it's
- 41:24Speaker 1: or yeah again. I came to the math out of
- 41:26Speaker 1: my head. It's one of these things where I like
- 41:28Speaker 1: just doing a thousand because it's cleaner and it's easier
- 41:30Speaker 1: for me to hedge long term. Like we talked last year,
- 41:32Speaker 1: when I did I bet the Buccaneers three different times,
- 41:35Speaker 1: I just bet it each time for grand. Each it
- 41:37Speaker 1: was at fifty odds one odds, four to one odds,
- 41:40Speaker 1: and thirty five to one odds, So it's one of
- 41:42Speaker 1: these where I just like doing the grand again Trey Lance.
- 41:45Speaker 1: I'm never gonna see that grand I let that money
- 41:47Speaker 1: on fire. I get that people, But it's one of
- 41:50Speaker 1: these things where I like to hit it once every
- 41:51Speaker 1: hundred years. That's why I make these kind of bets
- 41:53Speaker 1: where it's like it doesn't make sense. But that year
- 41:55Speaker 1: already three made that crazy run. I had to heade
- 41:58Speaker 1: it out and I was able to make a nice
- 42:00Speaker 1: penny on r G three's rookie year, almost whining the
- 42:02Speaker 1: m v P. So it's one of these things where
- 42:05Speaker 1: I try to just take advantage of the situations I'm
- 42:07Speaker 1: in where crazy long shot odds they don't might not
- 42:10Speaker 1: make sense to people in August, but then all of
- 42:12Speaker 1: a sudden December, it's like, holy shit, you know, Trey
- 42:15Speaker 1: Lance is six to one now m v P. Like
- 42:18Speaker 1: it's one of these things that's when I'm betting on
- 42:19Speaker 1: I'm betting on the crazy upside of these different players.
- 42:22Speaker 1: I explained to my wife last week, and by the way,
- 42:24Speaker 1: I do want people to follow Simon in the Action
- 42:27Speaker 1: Network gap. He mentioned that he's not putting the picks
- 42:29Speaker 1: on Twitter because he's a total corporate sellout now go
- 42:32Speaker 1: download the free award winning action network Gap used the
- 42:36Speaker 1: follow features search Simon underscore Hunter. You will find all
- 42:40Speaker 1: of his picks, uh, and you'll be better for it.
- 42:44Speaker 1: I told my wife the other day, we were having dinner,
- 42:46Speaker 1: and I was explaining to her that I can't. I
- 42:51Speaker 1: think I might have said this right, like, I will
- 42:53Speaker 1: never be able to be the kind of investor that
- 42:56Speaker 1: people are, the kind of better that you are, because
- 43:00Speaker 1: I'm not waking up in the morning and trying to
- 43:02Speaker 1: track everything that's happening in the markets overnight and seeing
- 43:06Speaker 1: the value we're thinking about. Will trade Lance end up
- 43:09Speaker 1: having a great year in six months? Can I fake?
- 43:11Speaker 1: Can I? Can I heage out of this? What can
- 43:14Speaker 1: I do with it? Um? Kudos to you, Simon Hunter
- 43:18Speaker 1: and and just some people don't worry about it. We
- 43:19Speaker 1: are when we do our contest here, we are going
- 43:21Speaker 1: to put those picks on Twitter whatever, whatever picks we
- 43:24Speaker 1: used for the contest upcoming season. I'm just saying, like,
- 43:27Speaker 1: if I make bets right now in the preseason or
- 43:28Speaker 1: anything like that I'm putting in the app, I don't,
- 43:30Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put it on Twitter. That's just what
- 43:32Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, We will keep putting the contest on
- 43:34Speaker 1: Twitter because I know people are freaking out about that
- 43:36Speaker 1: because we have people in England they can't get the app. Relax,
- 43:39Speaker 1: we are gonna be putting our picks on Twitter. It's
- 43:42Speaker 1: just easier for people to track in the app. There
- 43:44Speaker 1: will be five picks that we put on Twitter every
- 43:46Speaker 1: single week. Uh. And as partly, you know, we're part
- 43:48Speaker 1: of the Volume podcast Network. UH, and we're gonna incorporate
- 43:52Speaker 1: the five picks we talk about into a podcast I'm
- 43:54Speaker 1: doing with Colin during the football season where I'm gonna
- 43:57Speaker 1: let him know what we're thinking. He's gonna I'm gonna
- 43:59Speaker 1: judge what he's thinking. Uh. And the reason we're doing
- 44:02Speaker 1: this podcast two times a week is because what we're
- 44:04Speaker 1: thinking about on Tuesday and then what we're thinking about
