Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 0:12Speaker 1: I am Chad Mollman, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I am joined by my bff, my companion, my compadre,
- 0:21Speaker 1: professional better, Simon Hunter, my brother. You're there. Yeah. If
- 0:27Speaker 1: I always let just let you go chat, I just
- 0:28Speaker 1: wait until it's all completely out of you. But no,
- 0:30Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I got a lot of things to say.
- 0:32Speaker 1: We got a lot to do, though, the problem is,
- 0:34Speaker 1: we got a lot to do. We gotta talk Survivor.
- 0:37Speaker 1: We gotta talk Moneyline Parley, we gotta finalize Er five,
- 0:40Speaker 1: do our big balls better the week. We gotta do
- 0:46Speaker 1: sharp calls in which we get a take on what
- 0:49Speaker 1: the wise guys who call you after the Tuesday show
- 0:53Speaker 1: feel about some of your plays. I'm feeling so good
- 0:55Speaker 1: about so many of the games that we talked about.
- 0:58Speaker 1: We've got some Aaron Rodgers COVID stuff happening that we
- 1:00Speaker 1: gotta re examine because the Chiefs at one and a
- 1:03Speaker 1: half were one of the things we loved. I don't
- 1:05Speaker 1: want to dilly dally because I want to spend a
- 1:06Speaker 1: little bit more time on a Survivor this week, because
- 1:09Speaker 1: I do think for a lot of people, we're now
- 1:11Speaker 1: in the week nine. The Bengals was a big loss.
- 1:14Speaker 1: The Box was a big loss. So whereas for us,
- 1:18Speaker 1: throughout the year, we have been seeing favorites winning, and
- 1:21Speaker 1: so a lot of people were sort of hanging around
- 1:23Speaker 1: and survivor pools. Those two, I think knocked out a
- 1:26Speaker 1: lot of people, and all of a sudden, a lot
- 1:28Speaker 1: of people are seeing that there their leagues, their pools
- 1:32Speaker 1: have been cut. So I'm in a couple year and
- 1:37Speaker 1: a couple We're in one together. We're gonna talk about it.
- 1:39Speaker 1: We're surviving. I'm a survivor song for everybody. Let's get
- 1:44Speaker 1: to chef cars. Hello's there, I'm talking. What do people say?
- 1:59Speaker 1: I would say? The only person who's consistently called me
- 2:01Speaker 1: every week this season is a guy Hank, which people
- 2:03Speaker 1: do love his voice, and he talks like this, you're
- 2:06Speaker 1: making a dump pick this week. You and Chad you're
- 2:08Speaker 1: off on this one. Sounds like he's been smoking every
- 2:10Speaker 1: day since he was five years old. He hates our
- 2:13Speaker 1: Bengals pick chat, he hates it's not alone. He was
- 2:16Speaker 1: all over the Patriots last week. That was his biggest
- 2:19Speaker 1: one to me. I still have no fear. I'm still
- 2:22Speaker 1: cool with it. I mean, it is scary. That's just
- 2:23Speaker 1: sitting at two and a half in all these books
- 2:25Speaker 1: all week. But with all the Odell drama going on
- 2:28Speaker 1: with the Browns, it's kind of making me feel a
- 2:30Speaker 1: little better where it's like they're just toxic right now,
- 2:33Speaker 1: the Browns, and this is just a great bounce back
- 2:35Speaker 1: stox for the Bengals. So I'm interested you think about that.
- 2:38Speaker 1: What were people saying you about the Bengals? As I
- 2:40Speaker 1: do every Thursday, you know, I love my my Thursday mornings.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Today was a little different just because you know, it's
- 2:46Speaker 1: a little chaotic in my house this week. But I
- 2:49Speaker 1: listened to Raybond and Stucky on the Action Network podcast.
- 2:52Speaker 1: They love the Browns so much in this spot. They
- 2:57Speaker 1: want to marry the Browns to the point where they
- 3:01Speaker 1: feel undervalued. Better roster a defensive line that can rush
- 3:08Speaker 1: the pastor without needing to blitz better d v o
- 3:11Speaker 1: A defensively. I know how you feel about d v
- 3:14Speaker 1: o A, but they both looked at this game and
- 3:18Speaker 1: saw it as a smash spot for the Browns, probably
- 3:22Speaker 1: thinking the same thing. You are only opposite, which is
- 3:26Speaker 1: so much toxic drama on the Browns that you're getting
- 3:30Speaker 1: them at a discount. Yeah, it's fair if it comes
- 3:32Speaker 1: down on some day and you you want to stay
- 3:34Speaker 1: away from that same reason, I'm not gonna fight you
- 3:36Speaker 1: on just because if other professionals are reaching out to
- 3:38Speaker 1: me about it, it's always scary. So the next big one.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Two different guys set me up about. One is someone
- 3:44Speaker 1: that has never hit me up during the season, crazy
- 3:47Speaker 1: amount of respect. I'm not going to name drop him,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but people do know who he is. He hated my
- 3:52Speaker 1: take on the Ravens, hated it. He was all about
- 3:55Speaker 1: the Vikings. So a little scary because I've already bet
- 3:58Speaker 1: that I already better. Um so I bought out the position.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Now I got nothing. I'll make a little bit of money.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Now if the Vikings do cover, maybe I'll throw them
- 4:07Speaker 1: in a money line teaser the Vikings because he just
- 4:09Speaker 1: loves that number so much. But I don't know. Like
- 4:11Speaker 1: I said to him, I feel like people are just
- 4:13Speaker 1: not respecting Lamar enough. After one bad week and now
- 4:15Speaker 1: he had to buy a week. It feels like we're
- 4:16Speaker 1: getting him on a little bit of a discount. So
- 4:19Speaker 1: I respect this man enough where I'm not gonna go
- 4:21Speaker 1: against him. I'm not gonna be given out um the
- 4:23Speaker 1: Ravens anymore. But man, I hope he's right because I
- 4:27Speaker 1: really like this position for this Raidings team. What was
- 4:30Speaker 1: his take that made him think he liked the Vikings
- 4:32Speaker 1: so much? He just he he just thinks people are
- 4:36Speaker 1: overrating what happened on Sunday night, that people are just
- 4:39Speaker 1: so down now and Kirk and again he was talking
- 4:43Speaker 1: a lot of ship. Basically, he was saying, we're an
- 4:45Speaker 1: idiots for you and betting Kirk and prime time what
- 4:47Speaker 1: trusted to him. You can't just always fade Kirk and
- 4:50Speaker 1: prime Time. That's just too simple. He goes simple works.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, you got me there.
- 4:55Speaker 1: It's he sent me the numbers. It's true Kirk is
- 4:57Speaker 1: ship in prime Time. But I think the biggest factor
- 5:01Speaker 1: to him was we saw the Bengals team have the
- 5:06Speaker 1: speed to kind of shut down Lamar. I think he
- 5:09Speaker 1: believes that the Vikings have that same type of speed
- 5:11Speaker 1: on their defense, they're gonna be able to shut down
- 5:13Speaker 1: and running quarterback. So it is interesting here and this
- 5:16Speaker 1: like other people's take on these games, because it always
- 5:18Speaker 1: changed your view on different you know, matchups where I
- 5:20Speaker 1: thought they're getting a good matchup against this Vikings defense,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and now he's saying, no, go re look at those numbers.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I think the Vikings defense is a lot faster than
- 5:27Speaker 1: people give them credit for. Your honesty is so refreshing.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I got so many um comments this week about your
- 5:38Speaker 1: response to the Colts loss stuff, tasking about that game
- 5:43Speaker 1: chat this. Let me move on. This business is getting
- 5:49Speaker 1: so much bigger. There's so many more people coming into it,
- 5:52Speaker 1: so many fucking frauds. Like it's just embarrassing, right. I
- 5:56Speaker 1: just saw the other day some fucking network is starting
- 6:00Speaker 1: a new gambling show. There was a story about a
- 6:03Speaker 1: woman they hired who six months ago was in PR
- 6:07Speaker 1: and now she's being hired as a betting expert on television.
- 6:11Speaker 1: It's like, are you kidding me? It is fucking hard
- 6:16Speaker 1: to do this. And everybody comes in thinks because they
- 6:18Speaker 1: can say, I like so and so on the money line,
- 6:21Speaker 1: I like so and so is three point favorites that
- 6:24Speaker 1: they're talking about betting, and everybody else it's constantly acting
- 6:29Speaker 1: like they're never wrong, they know everything. And then we
- 6:34Speaker 1: come on the show and we talk about our failures,
- 6:36Speaker 1: we talk about being willing to change our mind and
- 6:40Speaker 1: listen to everybody. And if we feel someone who's really
- 6:44Speaker 1: good at this doesn't mean we're not good at it.
- 6:46Speaker 1: It just means, hey, they're good at it too. Maybe
- 6:48Speaker 1: they're seeing something differently. That's life, man, see all of it. Yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 1: I mean I, like I said, I definitely have an ego,
- 6:55Speaker 1: but I have an ego and checked where if I
- 6:57Speaker 1: respect you and if I respect your opinion, I'm always
- 7:00Speaker 1: to change that stuff. But I'm with you about the
- 7:03Speaker 1: front thing. I try to stay out of it. Like
- 7:05Speaker 1: people try to put me on to Twitter stuff all
- 7:07Speaker 1: the time, I try to stay away from it just
- 7:08Speaker 1: from a simple fact. If you're happy, if you have
- 7:11Speaker 1: a good life, if you enjoy what you do. If
- 7:14Speaker 1: you're not, you're not gonna be going on to Twitter
- 7:15Speaker 1: yellow people and talk ship to people and pretty much
- 7:17Speaker 1: call it other gamblers. You're too busy living your own
- 7:20Speaker 1: awesome life. So I get I I've seen it people,
- 7:23Speaker 1: I've seen you try and drag me into this Twitter drama,
- 7:25Speaker 1: especially ever since I guess you guys are posting this
- 7:27Speaker 1: Hall of Fame videos never ending stuff in my d
- 7:30Speaker 1: M right now about like all these different people talking
- 7:32Speaker 1: crap about us. I don't care. I do not care.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Maybe the off season I'll get to it. I need
- 7:37Speaker 1: to win right now, so I just have too much
- 7:39Speaker 1: ship going on to worrying about all this dram and
- 7:41Speaker 1: other people what they're doing. My advice to people would
- 7:44Speaker 1: be if someone only talks about their wins, they don't
- 7:46Speaker 1: talk about their losses, red flag. That's a media red flag.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I told you, even the best pros I know will
- 7:52Speaker 1: have years they hit. It's all about taking the dogs.
- 7:55Speaker 1: That's why we take these money along with these dogs.
- 7:57Speaker 1: We're trying to get the value back. Even if you
- 7:59Speaker 1: have a down year, could have a winning year off
- 8:01Speaker 1: these dogs. So that that would my advice to you.
- 8:03Speaker 1: If you have someone that just only posts the winds
- 8:05Speaker 1: and never the losses, stay away. That's just that's just
- 8:08Speaker 1: a big red flag because that's just this is part
- 8:11Speaker 1: of the business. You're gonna lose. It's never set in stone.
- 8:13Speaker 1: So that that is a red flag to me. What
- 8:16Speaker 1: was the other game you said? They called you about
- 8:18Speaker 1: one other game? Oh, they love our Panthers pick. So
- 8:22Speaker 1: we got that. When locked in, I probably had three
- 8:24Speaker 1: different guys say they took the four and a half
- 8:27Speaker 1: they taken the three and a half. Who cares if
- 8:29Speaker 1: it's not same Donald, Sam Donald, p J. Fleck, Where
- 8:32Speaker 1: the hell of the kid's name is? No, they're not
- 8:33Speaker 1: much the different there there. I feel like what I
- 8:38Speaker 1: saw from that kid in thefl he was good. He
- 8:41Speaker 1: was he's quick, he's fast on the move, he's good
- 8:43Speaker 1: outside the pocket. They've got to be doing the same
- 8:46Speaker 1: thing with Sam Donald. They kind of get him outside
- 8:47Speaker 1: the pocket and do things like that. And we have
- 8:49Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey coming back, and it only makes you feel
- 8:52Speaker 1: even more better about this Carolina Panthers position. So nothing's
- 8:56Speaker 1: changed there. I still love the Panthers. I believe name
- 9:00Speaker 1: is uh p J. Walker. Yeah, I was just and
- 9:06Speaker 1: p J. Fleck is a football coach with the Minnesota
- 9:10Speaker 1: Golden Gophers. You know what trail blazers do. They plaze
- 9:14Speaker 1: trails for other people to be coming late. You have
- 9:17Speaker 1: blaze trails for others who thought this was never possible.
- 9:21Speaker 1: And then I believe it's Tracy Fleck, who Lie Withers
- 9:25Speaker 1: played in Election. Wow, that's a good that's a good
- 9:28Speaker 1: name drop, which was an amazing movie. Love the Panthers.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I think you can get the Panthers. You can get
- 9:33Speaker 1: the Panthers again at plus four. I think they're back
- 9:35Speaker 1: up to four, So yes, go all in on that.
- 9:39Speaker 1: The Panthers are one of the games that I still love.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Why don't we talk about the Panthers right now? So
- 9:44Speaker 1: we love the Panthers the other day, it was at
- 9:47Speaker 1: four the other day. I have no reason not to
- 9:49Speaker 1: love the Panthers still. I think that I was wrong
- 9:54Speaker 1: about the Chargers last week against the Patriots. I think
- 9:57Speaker 1: you were wrong about the Chargers against the Patriots too, um,
- 10:01Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean we're wrong about this team. I
- 10:03Speaker 1: think our take on the Chargers might have been a
- 10:05Speaker 1: little bit wrong against that team. But the Panthers have
- 10:10Speaker 1: a much much better defense than the Chargers do. This
- 10:14Speaker 1: is gonna be probably a pass rush on like any
- 10:16Speaker 1: pass rush Mac Jones has faced this year. It's going
- 10:19Speaker 1: to be a secondary. By the way, was to find
- 10:21Speaker 1: Gilmore planning against the Patriots that is probably better than
- 10:25Speaker 1: any secondary that Mac Jones has faced all year. I
- 10:30Speaker 1: don't care who's playing quarterback for the Panthers. This just
- 10:33Speaker 1: feels like a smash spot for the for the Carolina Panthers. Yep,
- 10:36Speaker 1: back to back road games for this Patriots team with
- 10:39Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback the Chargers thing. Again, I think it's
- 10:42Speaker 1: more we just misread Herbert. He's kind of come way
- 10:45Speaker 1: back down. This guy was being talked about as one
- 10:47Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in football. Now he's probably like,
- 10:50Speaker 1: you know, maybe top eight, top ten. He's just dropped
- 10:53Speaker 1: all the way down from being that upper tier to
- 10:55Speaker 1: being in a lower tier now just because he's inconsistent.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Now let's come out that he might have an injury.
- 11:00Speaker 1: And Herbert, I mean, we'll talk about there's a bunch
- 11:02Speaker 1: of games being affected by quarterback injury. Um, so with
- 11:06Speaker 1: this game, it is brutal that if Sam Donald is out,
- 11:08Speaker 1: it's not ideal. But at the same time we talk
- 11:10Speaker 1: about PJ is not that big of a difference. He's uh,
- 11:14Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be inconsistent for sure passing, but I
- 11:16Speaker 1: feel like his athleticism will be able to take that
- 11:19Speaker 1: kind of even out that balance where this if this
- 11:21Speaker 1: kid can get outside the box and run, he is quick.
- 11:24Speaker 1: We know the Patriots have really slow linebackers. I mean,
- 11:26Speaker 1: High Tower is a dinosaur back there. I feel like
- 11:29Speaker 1: the biggest thing to me is just the rookie quarterback
- 11:31Speaker 1: on the road again, second week in a row. Mac Jones.
- 11:34Speaker 1: He has been better that I projected him to be.
- 11:38Speaker 1: But last week, I mean, he really didn't do much.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I think he was eighteen and thirty one for you know,
- 11:42Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards. It was the run game. I mean,
- 11:45Speaker 1: Damian Harris just absolutely dominated that game for that Patriots team.
- 11:48Speaker 1: So if the Carolina Panthers can make this one sided
- 11:52Speaker 1: and take away the run game for this this Patriots team,
- 11:54Speaker 1: it's all on Mac Jones's shoulder, you have to feel
- 11:57Speaker 1: good about the secondary of Carolina again. In our backs here,
- 11:59Speaker 1: so we do love this number. We say this every week.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Did what did Matt Jones do? Did he do anything?
- 12:05Speaker 1: We say that every single does make third down completions.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I try not to shoot on too hard, but I
- 12:11Speaker 1: just think the hype is getting a little too much
- 12:13Speaker 1: for this kid. The next game I want to talk about.
- 12:16Speaker 1: We promised before the season started that this would be
- 12:21Speaker 1: in Atlanta Falcons podcast. The Atlanta Falcons are six point
- 12:28Speaker 1: underdogs against the New Orleans Saints, who we don't even
- 12:32Speaker 1: know who the quarterback is going to be for the Saints.
- 12:36Speaker 1: This also feels like a letdown spot for the Saints,
- 12:41Speaker 1: a get right spot for the Falcons. I like it.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I want to put it in. I wanted to be
- 12:47Speaker 1: one of our top five along with the Panthers. Now,
- 12:50Speaker 1: are you scared at all about made Maddie Ice getting
- 12:53Speaker 1: his hand stepped on against stitches in his throwing hands?
- 12:57Speaker 1: Don't bring me down. I'm just I'm just little hesitant
- 13:00Speaker 1: about that because that is a big deal. He's gonna
- 13:02Speaker 1: be having to have a glove now in that throwing hand. Um,
- 13:06Speaker 1: it's interesting. Uh, I'm with you. I love the number
- 13:10Speaker 1: if every time. This is Taysom Hiller, the third string quarterback,
- 13:13Speaker 1: after such an emotional win like he talked about last week.
- 13:15Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of my favorite video clips I've
- 13:18Speaker 1: seen this seasons them in the locker room after winning
- 13:20Speaker 1: that game. It's like a smoke a smoke machine's going off.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Everyone's dancing, and he just turns the camera real quick
- 13:26Speaker 1: to Jamis on his crutches dancing. It's honestly hilarious. Uh So, yeah,
- 13:31Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's a great faith position. But I
- 13:33Speaker 1: would have to wait until Sunday's until I really know
- 13:35Speaker 1: more about Matt Ryan's hand and what the whole deal
- 13:38Speaker 1: will be, like how he's looking in practice. I need
- 13:40Speaker 1: all that stuff before I can put money on this.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I kind of want to take it now because that's six,
- 13:46Speaker 1: but I'm gonna roll the dice and hope it stays
- 13:48Speaker 1: at six by the time I get that information. But
- 13:50Speaker 1: why why why not take a little bit of a
- 13:52Speaker 1: taste now just to get it on the six and
- 13:55Speaker 1: by Sunday, if it's still at the sixth and you've
- 13:57Speaker 1: got the better information, you can get more. And if
- 14:00Speaker 1: it's not, you haven't over invested, Like, don't you want
- 14:03Speaker 1: to put a little bit of something when you know
- 14:05Speaker 1: it's at the number and chances are Matt Ryan is
- 14:07Speaker 1: gonna play, They're gonna shoot him up, He's going to
- 14:09Speaker 1: be able to do what he's supposed to do. I would,
- 14:12Speaker 1: but there's just just so many red flags around this
- 14:15Speaker 1: Falcons team. I mean, we've got no more Calvin Ridley,
- 14:18Speaker 1: so now their number one receivers are rookie tight end
- 14:20Speaker 1: and Pitts, who was easily taken away by the Carolina
- 14:23Speaker 1: defense last week. It's it's just a little too much
- 14:27Speaker 1: for me to be all in on the Atlanta team
- 14:29Speaker 1: where they just have so many holes in, so many weaknesses.
- 14:31Speaker 1: That's why you see the line moving up even though
- 14:33Speaker 1: we don't know who the Saints quarterback is. That's why
- 14:35Speaker 1: it's gone from five and a half to six because
- 14:37Speaker 1: I think a lot of professionals are looking in the
- 14:38Speaker 1: same way as me. It goes all right. We think
- 14:40Speaker 1: the Saints are maybe a top six, top seven team
- 14:43Speaker 1: in the NFC. Where did Atlanta? I mean, if you
- 14:48Speaker 1: just go off the top of your head, do you
- 14:49Speaker 1: think they're want to bottom? You know, five six teams
- 14:51Speaker 1: and NFC They're just it's hard to have a lot
- 14:54Speaker 1: of faith in this Atlanta team. But like he just
- 14:56Speaker 1: talked about, this is a prime letdown spot for the
- 14:59Speaker 1: Saint's team. It is uh oh, I'm seeing it, Jesus,
- 15:07Speaker 1: I'm seeing it at plus six and a half now.
- 15:11Speaker 1: So that's I mean, his and injury might be way
- 15:13Speaker 1: more for real than we know, because like it's literally
- 15:16Speaker 1: metal spikes stepped into his hand. He was gush on
- 15:18Speaker 1: blood during that game last week. You know what, Simon,
- 15:23Speaker 1: He's a fucking football player. Play the fucking game, all right.
- 15:29Speaker 1: We talked about the Patriots and Panthers, We talked about
- 15:31Speaker 1: the Vikings, and Ravens. We're a little anxious about that
- 15:34Speaker 1: right now. Uh. By the way, I'm seeing the Vikings
- 15:38Speaker 1: up to six and a half. Wow, So I was
- 15:44Speaker 1: dead on my five and a half love with Ravens.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Now that's the sixth half. He better be right. I'm
- 15:49Speaker 1: kidding now I'm with him. I I trust this man,
- 15:52Speaker 1: I trust him. Bengals two and a half. Um, there's there.
- 15:58Speaker 1: That's another one that they called about. Uh, it's another
- 16:01Speaker 1: one that I mentioned. Uh, Stucky and Raybon love the Browns.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I feel like, at the end
- 16:12Speaker 1: of the day, this isn't a this isn't a a
- 16:17Speaker 1: obvious spot for the Browns. In this scenario, we would
- 16:24Speaker 1: almost always say I want the home team that is
- 16:29Speaker 1: in a divisional matchup that is less than a field
- 16:32Speaker 1: goal favorite, and that is healthy. And then I don't
- 16:37Speaker 1: feel I don't feel differently like I know we're going
- 16:40Speaker 1: against what the wise guys called you about. I know
- 16:43Speaker 1: we're going against what Stucky and Raybon said. I said.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Then I think it's a sharp trap. It feels like
- 16:49Speaker 1: a sharp trap, like the same thing we we fell
- 16:51Speaker 1: into it last week with the Colts um the cults
- 16:54Speaker 1: where a dog. It felt like a great number and
- 16:56Speaker 1: a divisional matchup. I stepped right into it. I got
- 16:59Speaker 1: sucked in same thing of this week with the Browns.
- 17:01Speaker 1: The Browns now, people need to go look at their
- 17:04Speaker 1: offensive line. They're already down to starters. I think they're
- 17:07Speaker 1: down another starter this week. So you have a banged
- 17:10Speaker 1: up quarterback, down a bunch of starters playing against the team.
- 17:14Speaker 1: And the bang was that we talked how fluke last
- 17:17Speaker 1: week was. They were up eleven points of five minutes ago.
- 17:19Speaker 1: It all got flipped upside down. So I I'm with
- 17:24Speaker 1: them in the sense that a lot of professionals agree
- 17:26Speaker 1: with stuck like that's that that feels like a professional
- 17:29Speaker 1: play this week. But it's just the more I look
- 17:31Speaker 1: at the more it looks like a little bit of
- 17:32Speaker 1: a trap to me. So I'm I'm gooda taken Sinci.
- 17:35Speaker 1: But when it comes tounday and you're like, I can't
- 17:37Speaker 1: do it, I don't want to go against these guys,
- 17:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna agree with you, just because I've had other
- 17:40Speaker 1: professionals say they don't like it either. Alright, well, I'm
- 17:43Speaker 1: leaving them in there for now. By the way, um,
- 17:47Speaker 1: the Bengals were my Scoot Roulette pick. The Panthers were
- 17:51Speaker 1: your Scoots roulettpics. So one of us is going to
- 17:55Speaker 1: be and you were upset that I got the Bengals.
- 17:58Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. I can't walk away from
- 18:02Speaker 1: it now, I gotta go all of I can't hedge.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I can't hetge. But what's interesting? All right, So we're
- 18:11Speaker 1: gonna take the packers and chiefs off the board here.
- 18:13Speaker 1: When we talked about it the other day, Aaron Rodgers
- 18:16Speaker 1: uh was pre COVID diagnosis. Uh. Clearly his immunization uh
- 18:23Speaker 1: did not entirely protect him. Um was he vaxed? Was
- 18:27Speaker 1: he not faxed? Did he outsmart reporters by saying he
- 18:30Speaker 1: was immunized? And then nobody asked him follow up questions?
- 18:35Speaker 1: Where's the reporting going these days? Where's the skepticism? Where's
- 18:38Speaker 1: the media when you need him? Okay, that's what I
- 18:42Speaker 1: want to know. Yeah, and Uh. Again, it reaffirms everyone's
- 18:47Speaker 1: fear that people in power can get away with stuff.
- 18:49Speaker 1: And this is a prime example of a man in power.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Like I don't want to get too far into it
- 18:53Speaker 1: either because we don't want to be a political show.
- 18:55Speaker 1: But he wasn't wearing a mask after games on the field.
- 18:58Speaker 1: If you see any of this other quarter backs that
- 19:00Speaker 1: have him in backs, they're rocking mask after the games
- 19:02Speaker 1: because they can't be around people without mask on little
- 19:05Speaker 1: things like that. It doesn't really matter. Rogers can't get
- 19:08Speaker 1: found forty dollars. He'll pay that whatever it is. The
- 19:11Speaker 1: big issue now is he's gonna miss this game and
- 19:13Speaker 1: potentially the next game, which is a big deal. Um,
- 19:16Speaker 1: especially if you're someone that you bet them best record
- 19:18Speaker 1: that might be dead now with him missing these back
- 19:20Speaker 1: to back games, we'll see what it's gonna shake out.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I I'm in on the Green back. You're giving me
- 19:26Speaker 1: Green Bay plus eight plus seven and a half against
- 19:28Speaker 1: this awful Chiefs defense. I'm taking it for the same
- 19:32Speaker 1: reason I was on the chief side. I just felt
- 19:34Speaker 1: like in a coin flip game, they have the value
- 19:36Speaker 1: towards them where they're the home team. You have to
- 19:38Speaker 1: trust my homes in this position. Green Bays do for
- 19:41Speaker 1: some letdown games. I mean they have covered seven straight games. People,
- 19:45Speaker 1: that's crazy. They got blown out week one and now
- 19:46Speaker 1: they've covered seventh straight. Man, I have to take this
- 19:51Speaker 1: plus eight, but our contest it's most likely gonna be
- 19:56Speaker 1: a pick for the Chiefs. So I'm gonna trying to
- 19:59Speaker 1: have Allan's act here. I'm gonna be taken the Chiefs
- 20:02Speaker 1: probably in a contest with you. I mean, how do
- 20:04Speaker 1: we not? But I love Green Bay and I'm gonna
- 20:07Speaker 1: love Green Bay's money line and the simple fact that
- 20:10Speaker 1: if you're giving me plus two fifty, like I bet
- 20:13Speaker 1: the Giants last week, even though we had survivor and
- 20:15Speaker 1: we needed the Chiefs, I couldn't not take the Giants
- 20:17Speaker 1: money line. It's just it's instinct. Well, I'm looking at this,
- 20:20Speaker 1: I said, this is a coin flat matchup. You're giving
- 20:22Speaker 1: me an extra two hundred plus two hundred on the
- 20:24Speaker 1: money line, I'm taking it. I think the the Giants
- 20:27Speaker 1: were maybe plus three this week Green Bay. I think
- 20:30Speaker 1: they'll end up being plus two fifty, maybe plus two
- 20:32Speaker 1: seventy five once it all settles. It's hard to pass
- 20:35Speaker 1: on that number. But how do we not take mahomes
- 20:38Speaker 1: at home versus backup quarterback at a pick? Uh? It's
- 20:42Speaker 1: gonna be tough choice for people in their contest that
- 20:45Speaker 1: why is that a tough choice? Like it makes all
- 20:50Speaker 1: the sense in the world. It's tough. It's too easy,
- 20:54Speaker 1: but we have to do it. Hey, what did are?
- 20:57Speaker 1: What are a wise guy? From the beginning, say keep
- 21:01Speaker 1: it simple. Keep sometimes it's just that simple, keep it simple, stupid.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I'm just getting with the kiss bun that in now,
- 21:15Speaker 1: all right? Do it? I like it so that. Now
- 21:19Speaker 1: here's what's interesting. We like the Panthers plus four. We
- 21:23Speaker 1: like the Bengals minus two and a half. We probably
- 21:25Speaker 1: like the Fountains plus six, depending got the next two games.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna bring them up. I
- 21:30Speaker 1: have two. I love that we haven't touched yet all
- 21:32Speaker 1: we haven't listen, we have gotten there yet. I know.
- 21:35Speaker 1: We like the Chiefs at whatever number pick or minus one,
- 21:39Speaker 1: forty niners ding ding ding ding ding, or as they
- 21:46Speaker 1: say on the Tickety Talk, this is the meme that's
- 21:49Speaker 1: going around dingdong. That's so. I rarely mute words on Twitter.
- 21:56Speaker 1: That's a word I muted, or maybe bing bong. It's
- 22:00Speaker 1: something to do with the Knicks. Um there are no
- 22:03Speaker 1: louder fan bases in October November, then the Knicks shut
- 22:08Speaker 1: up Knicks fans all right, let me you guys can
- 22:10Speaker 1: go crazy in June. I can't take it in October November.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Shut up. So I've muted that anything Knicks related has
- 22:18Speaker 1: been muted on my social media. Just can't do it.
- 22:21Speaker 1: So what are we gonna do here, Chad? We love
- 22:24Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Now it's coming out. Kyler Murray
- 22:26Speaker 1: might be hurt. He might even miss this game. The
- 22:28Speaker 1: lines move from plus two and a half down to
- 22:30Speaker 1: plus one. Now for the four Niners team, nothing's changed.
- 22:33Speaker 1: We still like them. If it is Kyler playing, we
- 22:36Speaker 1: kind of knew he was hurt. You could. You could
- 22:38Speaker 1: tell last week he wasn't running with the ball in
- 22:40Speaker 1: their offense, just looked really bad against the screen Bay team.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Makes sense. Now the guy has some injuries. Um, this
- 22:47Speaker 1: is the fear with Kyler. He just is a little guy.
- 22:49Speaker 1: He gets hit wrong, he's hurt. Uh, So nothing's changed here.
- 22:54Speaker 1: If this is still at a plus number for us
- 22:57Speaker 1: with his four Knis team, we're gonna take it. And
- 23:00Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if Kyler is out, it's an automatic play.
- 23:03Speaker 1: But as you sit here today, I still love this
- 23:05Speaker 1: summer for this forty team. We love the forty Niners,
- 23:08Speaker 1: We love the Chiefs, we love the Panthers. We are
- 23:12Speaker 1: debating the Falcons and the Bengals. Now it gets interesting, Simon,
- 23:17Speaker 1: as it does every week. We've really we have so
- 23:20Speaker 1: much confidence right now and now a few words from
- 23:26Speaker 1: our friends at FANDEL. This week marks the halfway point
- 23:29Speaker 1: to the NFL season and there is a big Sunday

- 25:33Speaker 1: let's get back to the show. Tell me the game
- 25:36Speaker 1: that we haven't talked about, because I've gone through every
- 25:37Speaker 1: game that we had on our list. Tell me the
- 25:39Speaker 1: game we haven't talked about that all of a sudden
- 25:41Speaker 1: is creeping up based on market conditions, injuries, chatter, chick chat, gossip,
- 25:46Speaker 1: whatever we talked about a little bit. Herbert might be
- 25:49Speaker 1: banged up. He supposedly he's hurt. This line keeps moving
- 25:52Speaker 1: down with the Eagles. It's down to plus one. A
- 25:54Speaker 1: lot of off shore books, which I know a lot
- 25:57Speaker 1: of professionals use, and they moved numbers. I can't take notice.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Might see that stuff if they bet this down from
- 26:02Speaker 1: two and a half the down to plus one. Even tho,
- 26:05Speaker 1: when I check the action app, it says all the money,
- 26:07Speaker 1: all the tickets are pouring in on the Chargers team.
- 26:10Speaker 1: That's interesting. I think that these these pros might know
- 26:13Speaker 1: something more than we do about Herbert. Maybe he's more
- 26:15Speaker 1: injured than that's gonna let on. So if you can
- 26:18Speaker 1: still get plus two and a half, I take that now,
- 26:21Speaker 1: because if it comes out there is something going on there,
- 26:23Speaker 1: he might be banged up. You're gonna see a move
- 26:25Speaker 1: just like this Arizona line, it's gonna start dropping. So
- 26:28Speaker 1: I am in on the Eagles. We talked to me
- 26:31Speaker 1: like the matchup that the Eagles were able to run
- 26:32Speaker 1: against his Chargers team. I just don't want to do
- 26:35Speaker 1: it because the talent discrepancy. There's just so much more
- 26:40Speaker 1: talent on this Chargers team for this Eagles team. But
- 26:43Speaker 1: when you're giving me a betteran offensive line like this
- 26:45Speaker 1: Eagos team has and they've just had one of the
- 26:48Speaker 1: best running weeks we've had all season, I do think
- 26:52Speaker 1: the Eagles coach staff is gonna buy into that and
- 26:53Speaker 1: they're gonna pound the rock against this Chargers team that
- 26:56Speaker 1: cannot stop the run again. Chad loves d v O.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I think they're thirty second ranked bl A. Only a
- 27:02Speaker 1: team ahead of them are the Chiefs, which is thirty one.
- 27:05Speaker 1: We think chief defense is awful too, So just going
- 27:08Speaker 1: from that standpoint, if there's no Herbert, this is a
- 27:12Speaker 1: disaster for this Chargers team coming from West coast to east.
- 27:15Speaker 1: So if you can get two and a half, I
- 27:17Speaker 1: would just better just as an insurance to play, because
- 27:19Speaker 1: I think this Herbert injury might be more than they're
- 27:21Speaker 1: letting on in the media. That feels like inside wise
- 27:27Speaker 1: guy info because this Eagles team, we've bet him a
- 27:31Speaker 1: bunch and they're a little bit like the Jacks. They
- 27:34Speaker 1: disappoint us every time. We get them wrong every time,
- 27:37Speaker 1: every time, every single time. And so well we got
- 27:41Speaker 1: them ready with Tampa success. But that was lucky. We
- 27:46Speaker 1: have we have, we have. They have beaten up on
- 27:50Speaker 1: bad teams, destroyed bad teams, they have gotten killed by
- 27:56Speaker 1: good teams. I do think the Chargers are still a
- 27:58Speaker 1: good team. I think the Charger forget about Herbert for
- 28:01Speaker 1: a second. They ran into defenses that are elite in
- 28:06Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Ravens, and coaches that are elite
- 28:09Speaker 1: in week Martin Dale for the Ravens and there as
- 28:11Speaker 1: their coordinator in Bill Belichick for the Patriots. That that
- 28:17Speaker 1: we didn't see it with the Patriots, we did see
- 28:18Speaker 1: it with the Ravens. I just think if Herbert is healthy,
- 28:24Speaker 1: then I'm just telling you get on the number now
- 28:27Speaker 1: in case what so like, why does it make more
- 28:30Speaker 1: sense to get on the number now for the Eagles
- 28:32Speaker 1: if we think Herbert might be heard, because two and
- 28:35Speaker 1: a half is a key number, okay, especially with all
- 28:40Speaker 1: the like these are two different teams that go for
- 28:42Speaker 1: two a lot and do a lot of weird stuff.
- 28:43Speaker 1: So that's the only reason. I just think that two
- 28:46Speaker 1: and a half is it ny number to get now,
- 28:48Speaker 1: So it's a little taste. It might not be a
- 28:49Speaker 1: full unit. Yeah, yeah, I'm not. I'm not going huge
- 28:52Speaker 1: on this one. This is just one of these, I
- 28:53Speaker 1: bet now, just because you're hearing a lot of whispers
- 28:56Speaker 1: and I think they h I think the NFL has
- 29:01Speaker 1: gone way better with the whole COVID thing, like that
- 29:04Speaker 1: news has not leaked this year. Really, last year it
- 29:06Speaker 1: was leaking a lot. You would hear COVID stuff and
- 29:07Speaker 1: then a day or two later it would come out
- 29:09Speaker 1: that these players were out because of COVID. Now the
- 29:12Speaker 1: media is on top of it, like a guy gets COVID.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Schefter knows first, he puts it out there, and then
- 29:17Speaker 1: the books take the line off right away. Last year,
- 29:20Speaker 1: we had a couple of days sometimes before they would
- 29:22Speaker 1: take these lines now because they didn't know. It's been
- 29:24Speaker 1: different with that. With the QB injuries, it's like the
- 29:26Speaker 1: old time. I mean, it's always been this way. These
- 29:29Speaker 1: teams don't release injury infro. They just don't do it.
- 29:31Speaker 1: So you have to trust your sources, the stuff you're
- 29:34Speaker 1: hearing from people inside these buildings. I'm not one of
- 29:37Speaker 1: these people. These guys are contacting. They're contacting other professionals.
- 29:39Speaker 1: So I'm getting second and information. It's all about me
- 29:43Speaker 1: trusting the different information I'm getting. So a guy I
- 29:46Speaker 1: do very trust, very much as good sources, he's the
- 29:49Speaker 1: one coming about the Herbert stuff. So I'm gonna believe it.
- 29:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet the two and a half. I ken
- 29:54Speaker 1: the fact that these offshore books that I trust, that
- 29:57Speaker 1: I know professionals used, are moving it down to plus on.
- 30:00Speaker 1: That's a big deal to me because, like again, they're
- 30:03Speaker 1: moving it against all the money, all the tickets coming
- 30:05Speaker 1: in on the chargers, Like, that's a big deal for
- 30:08Speaker 1: them to move it that much. All Right, you got me.
- 30:12Speaker 1: As we speak, I am going to log into my
- 30:16Speaker 1: phone and I am just gonna bet it. I'm gonna
- 30:20Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet the Eagles and then you can buy out,
- 30:23Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do it legally. That's how I do it.
- 30:28Speaker 1: As we transition into Survivor, which deserves a little bit
- 30:33Speaker 1: of conversation today, but recap Panthers plus four. Well, Chief's
- 30:37Speaker 1: Week is in the contested pick, but that's not what
- 30:39Speaker 1: the line is anymore. Panthers plus four, Niners plus one.
- 30:42Speaker 1: We still like the Bengals minus two and a half.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Take the Eagles plus two and a half because we're
- 30:46Speaker 1: there's whispers about Herbert's health. And then we'll examine on
- 30:51Speaker 1: Sunday the Falcons and the Bengals and see if anything
- 30:54Speaker 1: else tickles our fancy where we can make some last minute,
- 30:57Speaker 1: emotionally rash decisions that we're ruin our Sunday Right, Okay,
- 31:02Speaker 1: I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Now it's time for Survivor. The Survivor Pool pick of
- 31:10Speaker 1: the week. I'm in the pool with you. I'm in
- 31:19Speaker 1: one pool where I have to still have to choose
- 31:23Speaker 1: two teams two times between weeks two and ten. I've
- 31:27Speaker 1: already done it once. I'm thinking I'm waiting until week ten.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I thought about it this week. I called Travis Reid,
- 31:32Speaker 1: who we talked about his stories all the time. He
- 31:35Speaker 1: breaks down does Survivor picks every week in Action Network,
- 31:38Speaker 1: using a lot of different philosophies and theories. He's very
- 31:40Speaker 1: good at it. He's got my favorite football model at
- 31:43Speaker 1: the Action networks. He puts crazier lines than me. He's amazing.
- 31:47Speaker 1: He's totally amazing. So I went through it with him
- 31:49Speaker 1: a little bit um we both agreed that I was
- 31:52Speaker 1: going to go with the Bills this week and then
- 31:55Speaker 1: next week I'm going to go with the Cults at
- 32:00Speaker 1: home against the Jags and the Cowboys. But I'm taking
- 32:04Speaker 1: two relatively big home favorites next week, and I'm risking
- 32:08Speaker 1: this week. A Bill's win on the road is a
- 32:12Speaker 1: huge favorite. I don't hate the Bills play. I kind
- 32:15Speaker 1: of want to save them for us, just because I
- 32:17Speaker 1: know they still have to play the Jets, which I
- 32:20Speaker 1: know people are scared of them because the whole Mike
- 32:22Speaker 1: White thing. But that's just I don't know. I don't
- 32:24Speaker 1: think it's sustainable. So so far this year, we've used
- 32:27Speaker 1: the Colts, We've used New England, we used the parent Theories,
- 32:31Speaker 1: We've used the Minnesota Cleveland since the Chiefs in l A.
- 32:36Speaker 1: So we still have a lot of good teams left.
- 32:38Speaker 1: We're looking for a layup this week. I don't hate Dallas.
- 32:41Speaker 1: They're playing Denver at home. That that feels like a
- 32:43Speaker 1: really easy pick. You want to get a little ballsy.
- 32:47Speaker 1: The Saints at home against Atlanta. That's risky with because
- 32:50Speaker 1: we don't know the whole quarterback situation. Or we can
- 32:52Speaker 1: do another safe plane take Buffalo, but I don't know
- 32:55Speaker 1: my I really want to take Miami. But if it's
- 32:58Speaker 1: Tarad Taylor, I just can't do it against Houston in
- 33:00Speaker 1: like that's a great position for Houston and bounce back.
- 33:02Speaker 1: So we have to wait and see on that one.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Because if it's Davis Mills, I will be on Miami. Um.
- 33:09Speaker 1: This kid has been awful on the road this season,
- 33:11Speaker 1: just absolutely terrible. So that is a really good wait
- 33:14Speaker 1: and see if you can get Miami out of the
- 33:16Speaker 1: way and use them now that's huge, Like you're never
- 33:18Speaker 1: gonna be able to take them again the rest of
- 33:19Speaker 1: the season. So that's one of those I'm waiting on
- 33:22Speaker 1: and see who who is the quarterback for Houston? So
- 33:25Speaker 1: what are you saying? We're waiting and it's gonna be
- 33:28Speaker 1: Miami or it's gonna be Miami's are high risk play
- 33:33Speaker 1: our our boy and safe plays Dallas because I want
- 33:36Speaker 1: to say Buffalo, But I get if people want to
- 33:37Speaker 1: use Buffalo this we can just get out of the way. Um,
- 33:40Speaker 1: But to me, I feel like we'll get a better
- 33:42Speaker 1: position taking Buffalo later on. Alright, So Dallas or Miami, yeah,
- 33:48Speaker 1: I love them. We're actually going to risk how much money?
- 33:52Speaker 1: How many people are left with this contest? About seven? Yeah,
- 33:55Speaker 1: So we started um and pull it up, started with
- 33:59Speaker 1: three thousand and down. We're gonna put that on the Dolphins.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? But this is what you gotta
- 34:05Speaker 1: do to win these things. You gotta you gotta start
- 34:07Speaker 1: playing sport now, like we've done the boring chalky things.
- 34:10Speaker 1: You just take the biggest favorites every week and you
- 34:12Speaker 1: get those out of the way. You're got to start
- 34:14Speaker 1: getting pretty wise. I mean, I don't know if you
- 34:16Speaker 1: remember last year I won my contest on the Jets.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Jets had two wins last year. I picked one of them, right,
- 34:22Speaker 1: and want to survivor contest that way. So that's what's
- 34:24Speaker 1: gonna come down in those final weeks. We're gonna be
- 34:26Speaker 1: taking some ugly teams to win this thing. So if
- 34:30Speaker 1: we can get rid of Miami, now I would be
- 34:32Speaker 1: really happy. But I'm not doing it unless it's Davis Mills.
- 34:35Speaker 1: That's that's the biggest thing here. It has to be
- 34:37Speaker 1: that kid starting well, hold on, We'll go Cowboys or Miami.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I put Cowboys in for us right now because that's
- 34:42Speaker 1: the most likely play, but we'll see we might be
- 34:44Speaker 1: changing that all right. All right. By the way, as
- 34:48Speaker 1: we speak, I have made a a small bet on
- 34:52Speaker 1: the Eagles at plus two. I'm gonna get that hook.
- 34:56Speaker 1: It's down to plus two. Down to plus two, damn.
- 34:59Speaker 1: I will be track all my bets in the Action
- 35:01Speaker 1: Network app. I've made four so far today. I will
- 35:04Speaker 1: load them into the Action Network app. You can follow
- 35:06Speaker 1: along play the game at home, my friends. You know
- 35:10Speaker 1: what we haven't done is our big Balls Better the Week?
- 35:14Speaker 1: Who good catched by you? Buddy? Yeah? Well, I'm here
- 35:17Speaker 1: here to host the show, run the traffic. Our big
- 35:20Speaker 1: Balls Better Week has to be the forty Niners. Everyone
- 35:23Speaker 1: hates that bet. I think the public is well over
- 35:27Speaker 1: on the Arizona and all the money is coming on Arizona.
- 35:30Speaker 1: So it feels like we're making a big balls here
- 35:32Speaker 1: taking the forty nine. The divisional games and what makes
- 35:34Speaker 1: football so much fun. These teams just played different when
- 35:37Speaker 1: they play their divisional opponents, So I feel like people
- 35:40Speaker 1: are gonna be with it on us. But it does
- 35:41Speaker 1: feel like a big ball has been the sense that
- 35:43Speaker 1: we're fading a Cardinals team that was undefeated until last week,
- 35:46Speaker 1: and now we're saying they're gonna lose two games in
- 35:48Speaker 1: a row. That that takes some balls. Well, listen. The
- 35:51Speaker 1: other one that we love that is getting more action
- 35:53Speaker 1: than the Cardinals right now is the Patriots against the Panthers.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Um public all in on the Patriots. We love the Panthers.
- 36:02Speaker 1: So that was my scruture. LEPPI though, so I feel
- 36:05Speaker 1: kind of bad double dipping, all right, So then let's
- 36:07Speaker 1: go with the forty forty Niners as underdogs at home
- 36:11Speaker 1: against the division leading Cardinals. Are our big balls better
- 36:16Speaker 1: the week we're doing the money line? Probably this week, Simon,
- 36:22Speaker 1: this is what I would do. I would do the Panthers,
- 36:25Speaker 1: I would do the forty Niners. Love it. That might
- 36:28Speaker 1: be all that I love right now, as we'll throw
- 36:31Speaker 1: Minnesota likns in for my boys. Throw Eagles in there.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, Now all of a sudden is getting disgusting. Oh,
- 36:41Speaker 1: this is gonna even This ISNNA the grossest part of
- 36:42Speaker 1: the whole thing, Green Bay. Throw it in there, people,
- 36:45Speaker 1: It's again. Me and Chad obviously want the Chiefs to win.
- 36:49Speaker 1: You can't pass on this value. But that's way too
- 36:51Speaker 1: many points for this bad Chief's defense to be favorite.
- 36:53Speaker 1: But you're gross, I am, You're a disgusting human being.
- 36:57Speaker 1: We are thinking about the Panthers the Chiefs at pick
- 37:01Speaker 1: if that's available in our contest plus one. We will
- 37:05Speaker 1: also discuss the Falcons plus six depending on Matt Ryan's hand,
- 37:10Speaker 1: the Bengals minus two and five minus two and a half.
- 37:13Speaker 1: If we start to unless we hear more chatter from
- 37:16Speaker 1: wise guys about the Browns, we're talking about the Eagles
- 37:19Speaker 1: plus two depending on Herbert's health. You like, Scoot trew
- 37:23Speaker 1: let your pick of the week is Carolina three and
- 37:26Speaker 1: a half minus Cincinnati minus two and a half. The
- 37:29Speaker 1: Foxhole bet is the Niners. That was the Foxhold bet.
- 37:33Speaker 1: You know what, suck it? There's it's limited. It's a
- 37:36Speaker 1: limited it's a limited palette this week. Yeah, we can't
- 37:38Speaker 1: love them all, you know, all right, you know, like
- 37:40Speaker 1: if we love them all, then we just be hacks wherever. Fine,
- 37:44Speaker 1: all right, it's big balls and it's foxholl tell you
- 37:47Speaker 1: you can't have big balls in the foxhil By the way,
- 37:52Speaker 1: let's climb down into the foxhole. Everyone would say that's
- 37:58Speaker 1: when you need your balls to be the biggest. This
- 38:00Speaker 1: when you're in the foxhol. That's true. I think when
- 38:02Speaker 1: you run out of foxhol, that's when your biggest I
- 38:04Speaker 1: think you hear in any situation where you're in a
- 38:06Speaker 1: foxhol or potentially running out of a foxhol, that's combined,
- 38:10Speaker 1: that's when you need your balls to be the biggest.
- 38:14Speaker 1: On Sunday, when we're betting on the Niners against the Cardinals,
- 38:18Speaker 1: we're gonna be foxhold, big ball in it, maybe free
- 38:20Speaker 1: ball in it. I don't know. Alright, Simon, I'm gonna
- 38:25Speaker 1: remind everybody to watch Convince Me. We might update some
- 38:27Speaker 1: of what we're thinking about on Convinced Me at Action
