  Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers had the number one overall pick. Houston Texans
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: had picks number two and three. Houston Texans' win total
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: right now is about four and a half at bet
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: three six five frame. For me, is there a team
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: in the AFC that you would say has done themselves
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the biggest service through acquisition season?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I would say no, just because like AFC to me,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the most fun this year, just because
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they have all the star power, which the star power,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, they have all the big names. I mean,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: every weekend we're gonna have really good matchups. It's truly
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Again people say this all the time, but it's really true.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Right now, we're in a golden ajor quarterback. It's just
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we lost the old guard, right the Brady's, the Breeze,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the Payton Mannings they left. There was a worry there
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be another group to step in. And it feels
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: like seamlessly the AFC is just fully on, full on reloaded.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I mean just to the top, the Josh Allen, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, the Mahomes, like those three, knowing that they're
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: probably gonna carry us.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Now chat for the execle Listen, listen, you're totally right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Look at this uh to win the AFC title at
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: bet three sixty five Chiefs plus three fifty. Patrick Mahomes
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills plus four to fifty Josh Allen Cincinnati Bengals
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: plus five hundred, Joe Burrow, New York Jets plus six fifty.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers Ravens eleven to one, Lamar Jackson Chargers twelve
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to one, Justin Herbert Jags sixteen to one, Trevor Lawrence,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: who came back from a thousand points down to beat
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert in the playoffs last year, Bully for US
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Dolphins and Tua Taga Viola by Loa Tua. Let's just
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: say Tua twenty to one. Then the Cleveland Browns with
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, who who knows? Does he revert to form
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: at twenty to one? Like all of the players on
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that list.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: You missed one. I was gonna say, keep going, you're
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: about to get the team. I was gonna say it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was my biggest, biggest winner from.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: This solver Broncos twenty to one. Rights they are so
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, look at this hold on. Patrick Mahomes
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, Josh Allen on the path like MVP caliber,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: obviously all pro pro bow caliber.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I gotta get more awards.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati, Joe Burrow certainly on the path to Hall of Fame.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: New York Jets obviously, Lamar Jackson MVP. I think the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: jury's out. How great for how long he can be?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence same great second year. Not getting over excited
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to questionable Deshaun Watson. He was a perennial MVP before
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: before the stuff that happened in Houston, and Russell Wilson
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: super Bowl champ like perennial winner until last year. So
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that conference is stacked.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's absolutely wild. That's why we saw
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you know, the Tennessee Titans, the Colts, Houston all trying
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to move up to get a quarterback, because that's the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: move now for you're the AFC. You don't want a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. You need one of these all star guys.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You need a true game changer. So the NFC, all
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: those team the NFC are just so lucky. They're just
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: so lucky that these really really high leveled, young talented
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the AFC. Just because what you just went
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: through there, Chad. It's like, you know, we saw Brady
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: just have a twenty two year career. If any of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: these guys, Mahomes, the Josh Allens, the you know, all
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: these guys, even Lamar, these guys can put together a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: good ten to fifteen years, you hit a Jackbot. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it really is a wild timer living where. You know.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Chad just mentioned Denver to me they won the offseason
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: by getting Sean Payton. I think going from what they
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: had in the head coach last year to what they
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have now, it's truly incredible because if you go back
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and watch Denver, they had all these opportunities, they had
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: all the players, all the talent, to really win games.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: They just have the coaching. So to me, that's the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: team that won the biggest this offseat. I just think
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton, whatever is left to Russell Wilson, he's going
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to get the best out of them, and he's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: gonna lie the guy like he's not gonna let him
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: have his own office, their own parking space. Be the guy,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you know, high in this throne above everyone else in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Denver that's gone now right that felt like that I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: rubbed off after one season. So to me, the biggest
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: winners right now is Denver in the division that they
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: just won't be talking about. Everyone's gonna be still talking
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: about homes, They're still gonna be talking about the Chargers.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Those are the teams that people care about where Denver.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That team is the big winner this offseason. Of they
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't lose that much talent on the defensive side of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the ball. They've approved slightly on offensive. And then they
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: got Chompayton, which I think is a top five, top
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: four coach in this league.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Six teams right now at BET three six five have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: double digit season win totals. Four of them are in
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the NFC. The two A I mean in the AFC,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the two NFC teams, Eagles and Niners. And by the way,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the Eagles are ten and a half and the Niners
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: are at eleven and a half. In the AFC, it
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: is do you want me to tell you or do
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you think you can guess for what win totals? Yeah,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the four teams with double digit win totals, Well.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I would say, I know since I know Jags, Chiefs,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and then I don't think they should be. But I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: guessing those are over ten and a half or ten.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yep, those are the four. So of those four you've
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: already told me you're taking since the under ten and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a half. Completely agree, Jags over under ten and a half.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I need to see schedule because I got him at
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: ten wins, so I would say I leaned towards the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: under for them, but I need to see the schedule
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: first before I make a pick on that. But lean under.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Bengals are at eleven and a half. By the way,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that's why you're going with the under the bill.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And what I think is the best division of football.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, completely agree, And we'll get to the Cleveland Browns,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: which would have been my team for the Seattle version
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: of the AFC of the AFC's version of Seattle, whatever
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it is. Buffalo Bills at ten and a half.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Too much, man, it's just that division is good. New
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: England's the worst team that division. New England had a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: down year last year. I really expect them to bounce
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: back from what they did last year. Miami. I can't
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: get over how good they are on paper. That's what
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I hate is when a team is so good on paper,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: because it's like, all right, well, they got to do
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it on the field. You expect regressing them from their offense. Right,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it's another year to study that offense they ran last year.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I just don't know how it's gonna come to. Is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a really good quarterback when he's healthy and protected, to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: what can make the throws when we have a weapon
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: like wad on Tyreek Hill. We talk all the time, Chad.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: They're the kind of guys that takes one catch and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they're gone. And then the Jets, we already know the deal.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: They got Aaron Rodgers, so I could see. I could
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: see them starting slow by the end of the year.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I think they'll be a really tough test for the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Bills team. So Bills, I still think They're a really
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: good teams. Still see them at being, you know, one
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the teams that make to playoffs. There's a reason
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: they're ten and a half. I think last year they
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: closed at twelve and a lot of books. It's just
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: different this year. They have a way better division. So
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: still expect the Bills to win that division. I sti't
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be as easy it's been these last
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: what two three years for them?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Kansas City eleven and a half.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I want to do here, but I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: can't do it. Of course, I want to take the under.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: All got to take the under.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Can't do it. I can't. Mahomes has been good to me.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I always take his over, and he dislocated his kneecap
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and he came back and still got his over win
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: totals for me and then won a Super Bowl. So
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. Yet. There's just certain guys. It's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: like Brady effect, where if Brady won a Super Bowl,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I would fade him. Usually I stopped doing that when
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he kept winning his governor his win totals. After he
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: won the super Bowl. It's just didn't matter. He was
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: just a machine. I feel the same way about Mahomes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Mahomes is a machine. It's like his brother's about to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: go to jail. He doesn't seem too worried about it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He was at three different parties this past week. I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: saw him an F one some at the net Gala,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Like he's all over the place. He's just a cool dude.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He's just not worried about anything. So I can't go
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: against Mahomes. I love that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Mattris max Patrick Madams on the red carpet at the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: derby and said, hey, you cost me a lot of money,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and Mahomes was like, you're just better off back at me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the damn truth.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: The thing about betting the under on the on the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Chiefs says, did you see the Chiefs losing six games
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in a season?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Because they got lucky as shit last year. I mean, if
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you go through their wins last year, they were just
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: like the Giants. They had all these coin flip games
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: they won, but instead of being the Giants, the Giants
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: were getting lucky. It was the Mahomes effect. I mean
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, she had you know better than me. Every
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: game they had they won by one possession. They beat
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars by a touchdown. They beat the Bengals by
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a field goal. They beat the Eagles by a field goal.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's just you can't teach what Mahomes does, which is
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: like the pressure is the highest, he doesn't flinch. I mean,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: fucking hey man, Mitchell knows worse than everyone else that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: thirteen seconds is truly a legacy thing of They kicked
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the ball to Mahomes. He had thirteen seconds to get
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: down the field of kick a field goal, and he
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: somehow did it. He's just I expect a ton of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: regression for the Chiefs. It was incredible how many things
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: broke their way last year. But my computer can't compute Mahomes.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Brady. My computer never compute
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: how special Brady was. The same thing with Mahomes. It's like,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I look at the math, I have them at eleven wins,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: but once we gin of the season, I'll be like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: why did I bet this under It's just it's Patrick Mahomes.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The guy does not take years off. There's just other
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: bets I'd rather make than taking their underchat.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I think at some point, you talk about a team
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: like the Giants, you talk about a team like the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Vikings who won a lot of one score games last year,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and you expect there to be a regression. I don't
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: expect that with the Chiefs because of Mahomes. I think
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: there is a huge difference between what the Giants did
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: with elevated coaching and still developing players and what the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Chiefs do with Patrick Mahomes, who has done everything that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you've just described. That is something to bet on, right,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: even if they are winning one score games, because you
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: expect them to win one score games like you expect
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: those games to go their way. So it doesn't concern
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: me betting the over now that I think that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I would say this last year was a very boring, straightforwardear,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: which I loved because I was on it, Like I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: was all over the Chiefs and the Eagles to both
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: be the one seeds and they both walked through the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: playoffs and they both covered all throughout the playoffs or
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs didn't gainst the Jaguars, but they covered the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: other two games where the year before we had the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Bengals of the Rams, both of them were the four seeds.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Like that's football, right, Chad, Like that's usually how it goes,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: where the best team usually does not make it right.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That's just how it is. And this is why we
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: love betting it too, because we like betting these ugly
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: dogs and that's kind of beneficial to us. It feels
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: this year it's the same thing. Like I hate to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: say it, but it's kind of boring, like the Eagles
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to me, of the best team in the NFC, the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are still the best tea in the AFC. It's
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: just I think Joe Burrow is right there. I get
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: why he is in most people's eyes a number two quarterback.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Or him or Josh Allen. You could foot flop them,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: but I think we all can agree it's still at
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, it just feels like it's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs since the Eagles, which crazy as it sounds.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: People last year when I was telling you to bet
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: them both to be the one seed, people didn't believe it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Last year, Like the Chiefs I think had the third
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: best odds for the Super Bowl or fourth best odds
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and the Eagles were thirty out to one. So we
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: could look like idiots come this time next year. But
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I still think head into the season, I'm most likely
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: end up with the Chiefs my number one seed for
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: THEFC and the Egos being a number one seed the NFC.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's just neither of these teams got much weaker. The
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: biggest blemish for this Chiefs team is they lost to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: row Cee. And yeah, you can say, well it's Andy
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Reid's offense. Iney would tell you injury put a lot
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: on his plate and now it's back to kind of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid's offense to run. So to me, that's the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: only real hiccup I see for this Chiefs team is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you know, they didn't lose anything on offense, they didn't
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: really lose much on defense. We expect them to be
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: back to where they were last year, which is a
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: team whether if it's one possession game, you're gonna bett
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: on my homes. You've just been in this moment. He
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: just lives for these kind of games. So it sucks,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: but it's true they're still the best team in the AFC.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I just still think since he's looking up at them
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: saying with the Bills.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: So the question I have, which I think is more
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: interesting than we think, is what team helped themselves the most.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: You've hinted at Denver, Denver Broncos, give us a little
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: more detail. I have some very specific thoughts that I
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: will follow up with about other teams.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I would say Denver for sure, but I would say
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the most a team that me and you both love
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: from last year as the Jaguars. I think they're a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: team that coming to this year. I love the fact
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that they played in a playoff game last year they
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: won it, right, and now you have a whole offseason
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of a team building confidence off of that. Right, that's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: what you love to see. Where the Eagles, they played
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Tampa the year before and they got smoked by Brady
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Hurts talk about how that was a huge motivation Tim
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: he saw what he needed to do to take it
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to the next level. Right, The playoffs are just different.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: We hear people talk all the time about that. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: think the Jaguars are a team like that, where they
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: know they're in a division that's weak. Right, they know
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the Colts are kind of on a down year. The
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Titans Weeks act being down here Houston is just a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: train wreck. So to me, the Jaguars, as much as
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I love to take their under, they should be far
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: better they were last year. They have another year in
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that offense, all the guys getting comfortable with Trevor Lawrence
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and now you're bringing to Calvin Ridley. So to me,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are going to be a really big public
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Darland this year. I love this Jaguars team. They're kind
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of a sleeper team for me to be the one
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: seed just because of that division they're in and the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: expectations I have for this team. Now, I just think
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: they had the confidence. Their biggest weakness last year, I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: think chacking agreat this is they didn't know how to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: close games out right. They started the year out with
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of sloppy losses. Games they had big leads
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and they just could not keep the foot on the gas.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I don't really see that in this company season. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: really see them building off last year. So for most
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: one offseason, I think it's gonna be For me, it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: will be the Jaguars.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: There's a couple teams that I think are really interesting.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: As soon as the Jets officially signed Aaron Rodgers, our
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: first instinct fade the Jets. They're nine and a half
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: wins right now at bet three to six five. I
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: don't think Aaron Rodgers turns them into a super Bowl team,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So they are not on my list. In fact, I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: think it's very possible. Last year, everyone thinks they're a
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: player away because of last year. They played really bad
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: teams last year and really bad quarterbacks. So it's very
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: possible that, as we talked about earlier in the week,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: like the teams that we think will look good but
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: lose a lot of games, it's possible the Jets are
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: that team. Two teams in the AFC North that I think,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: through draft and free agency combination of both got much
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: much better and helped themselves a lot Pittsburgh Steelers, who
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I think had an amazing draft and a serviceable free
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: agent acquisition season, and the Ravens, who upgraded it every
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: level offensively. So how are we not talking about the Ravens?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Is it because there are conferences their division is so good?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: No? And I hate some of the Ravens, But it's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: kind of the same thing as I feel with Dak where
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I do a little more. Lamar is one and three
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and it's because he can do all
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of his unique stuff against these bad defenses during the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: regular season, but when you get to the playoffs and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: these good defenses and the good defensive cordinators can figure
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: out your offense and shut it down. Lamar has never
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: been to overcome that. So you know they have a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: new OC now for the Ravens, maybe that'll help them.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But to me, the Ravens Chad. That's why I usually
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'd be all over them because to me, they have
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: an incredible defense. Their offense obviously can be better than
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: was last year. They should be better. I just don't
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: have faith in Lamar, the same thing as Dak. It's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: just you will never catch me placing future bets on
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys who win a Super Bowl ever. Again, same
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: with the Ravens. I just I can't do it. I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: just don't buy into it where any guy that can
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: be turned into one dimension can't win a Super Bowl.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And we saw last year with Hurts. Hurts was a
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: running quarterback. We saw him work on his pass and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: what happened to the playoffs teams? They literally basically made
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a front wall against Hurts. He said, you have to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: pass the ball to beat us. He did that in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: every playoff game. I mean hed the Super Bowl. I
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: think he threw four with three hundred yards against the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Chiefs team that they literally just made a wall five defenders.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: They said, you can't run it against us. You've got
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to pass and move the ball down the field, and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: that's what he did in that game. So I love Lamar,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: love everything about what the Ravens have done this offseason chat.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I just I cannot put money on their future just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: because his playoff record. He's just a guy that seems
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: like he gets tight in these big moments. Again one
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and three in the playoffs. It's not gonna get any
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: easier when he mixed playoffs. He's going to go against
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Josh Allen, He's going to go against the Mahomes.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: That's just too much for me to put on the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: guy that I just don't think he can overcome those
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: kind of quarterbacks.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting way to look at it. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: was thinking more about how did they help themselves to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: improve their situation throughout the entire season, not necessarily just
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But yeah, like at this point, he's
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: been in the playoffs enough and underperformed enough that you're
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: getting a pretty good indication of who he is when
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: it comes to the playoffs. And you see that a lot, right,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, even Trevor Lawrence last year,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: like these guys have been in tough spots in the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: playoffs and achieved mightily. I'm trying to think. Was Peyton
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Manning really bad in the playoffs when he started his career.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was terrible, But again I put that on
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the whole New England effect, right, he just every time
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you ran into Belichick, didn't matter of Frose, indoors, outdoors.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Belichick always had the game plan to shut him down.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: It took what that fourth and two against with the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Wells Walker play that, yeah, whipped that whole trajectory. So teams,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I agree with that point that you just made their chat. Eventually, Sure,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: lamark a break out of it. It's just I don't
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: want to be wasting my money waiting for him to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: do it. Right. I'll catch up to when he gets there.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I can't keep chasing where me and you were all
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: over the Ravens actually we love them at twenty one
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: twenty two to one for the Super Bowl, and he
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: bit us in the ass with it. So I just
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: can't do it again this year.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: The Ravens right now, by the way, are eleven to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: one to win the AFC. At bet three six five,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: they are twenty to one to win the Super Bowl.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like the Ravens. It's almost like bookmakers tease.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I would say betters who live in the middle end
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and the deep end of the pool. They know a
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: lot about betting, they know a lot about the NFL,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: they know a lot about value, and so they always
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: put the Ravens in that twenty to one range, maybe
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit eighteen, maybe a little bit twenty two,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: knowing that everyone who thinks they know about betting and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: football will bet the Ravens in that way.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: There.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: It's right because think because you think there's value there,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: but they know what you know. Yeah, so there's no
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: value there. So it's like a little bit of a
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: just to save his account for the bookmakers.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: True, you know what I mean.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I think I just figured it out. I finally figured
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: it out for the Ravens and we're getting played for fools.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I didn't bet them this year
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: at twenty to one yet because and I feel better
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: about it. Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: No, I hate it because I've been staring at it
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: ever since they started signing these guys. I'm just like, Okay,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: they're good, Like we know they got the defense. I
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: think missed the last year is the offense. I pull
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: myself back. I'm like, this is what they want you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to think. As you said here in Ma Simon, don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: do it, and I'm like you, ty I. Luckily I
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: have not fired away on the Ravens yet.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Who do we think? Uh? Like the team that has
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: declined the most this offseason compared to the rest of
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the conference.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And that's really tough with the AFC. I mean, like,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to me, a team that I just have zero faith
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm over there under is the Las Vegas Like
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: people are somebody for some reason liking them. They think
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Jimmy g is gonna come in there, He's gonna be
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: better than Derek Carr was last year. I just don't
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: see it, you know, Grooden Maydock. They've ruined that team.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: They wasted so many drafts and we've seen it time time,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and you have to build through a draft. You just
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: have to, because especially a team like them, as a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: stupid owner like the owners on stupid things, it's not
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: gonna help that team where they they have so many holes.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: So to me, Vegas seven and a half win total
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: eight at some books. I love that under I just
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: they're a team. I see a heavy rogressing, especially in
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a division that I just told you I think Denver's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be improved. Even Chargers stayed the same with the Chiefs.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I just think that's too much for them in that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: division with Las Vegas. So I get it, you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Jimmy g that's funny, exciting. It's a different quarterback for them.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It just does nothing like him and Derek Carr. They're interchangeable, right,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I think Derek car slightly better. I just don't have
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: any faith in Jimmy G. So the fact that they're
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: such a high wind total, I think it's just because
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: they're in Las Vegas. They were in say Seattle or
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: somewhere random different. I think it'd be six and a half.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: But we're getting a free extra game bumped up here
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: just because they're in Vegas. So I love that under
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Unlike the NFC, which I think is obviously more wide open,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I think in the AFC, if you didn't markedly improve,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: if you stayed the same, then you automatically declined because
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the competition is so much better. Like the middle tier
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: teams that we're talking about, the Ravens, the Steelers, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: think the Brown Jets, the Broncos, the Jets, Miami like
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: either through moves they had previously made or recent moves,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: or getting players back because they weren't at full capacity,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: they they've automatically improved. And then teams like, to me,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: when I look at this question, I automatically think about
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the Titans, like, this is a team in pure limbo.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: They've got an aging running back now who they talked
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: about the rumors that they might want to get rid
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: of this offseason. They've got an aging quarterback who they've
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: now tried to replace for two straight years that he's
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: calling deja vu, and their defense has been inconsistent. I
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: love Mike Rabel as a coach. I think he's so good,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: But who are their receivers? Who are their weapons? Like,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: you know, Chris Moore, that's what you're excited about Nick Westbrook, Aquina,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that's what you're excited about resigning him to a one
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: year deal. Like you didn't make the move in the
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: draft to go get a big name quarterback. You ended
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: up with Will Levis, who there's a lot of, you know,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: questions about this team took a step back by not
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: taking a step forward.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they could somehow get to their win
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to little just because they're played in such a weak division.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But I think Chaddy nailed it there. It's just they've
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: gotten progressively worse at every position just because they've gotten
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: older and they haven't replaced a lot of guys they've
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: let go. Right. So to me, Rabral is the only
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: reason we even pause on this. It's like, this guy
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: is such a good coach. Even last year. I mean,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: think about how they started the season. They got blown
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: out by the Bills, and I think they got destroyed
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: by the Rams. Whoever it was. Rabel got them back
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to five hundred, and then all of a sudden they
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: were leaving that division. You thought they're going away with it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I think completely fell apart at the end of the season.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I think last year was kind of their last gasp, right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: that was our last run with that group. I'm totally
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on board with Chad's saying, and again people saying I'm
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: making shit up what came out this week. Dannehill was
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: getting shopped around all offseason and at the draft by
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: multiple reports. We know this, we know they're trying to
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: move on from the guys. So to me, who knows
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in training camp. But that's the first
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: person I think of where someone goes down with a
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: knee injury. Right, there's always those quarterbacks are all right
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: being ready to be shocked. The Sam Bradford, we call it, right,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You're waiting for a team to get hurt and then
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you trade the Sam Bradford the last minute to bring
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in the next guy. That's how I feel about Tannehill.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: He's just waiting for someone to get hurt and someone
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: will trade for him. So I think he nailed a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: chad where the middle class of the AFC has just
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: gone so much better, like the Miami, the Jets, all
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: of them pushing these teams up. It's just again, we're
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: in the golden age of We're in the golden age
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of quarterback. I've just never seen a conference so stacked
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: as the AFC is. This upcoming season, which me and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Chi are gonna talk about, it makes me loves the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: NFC even more, where it's like everyone's gonna talking about
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the AFC all season. We'll get better odds on these
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: NFC teams. No one's really gonna be talking about the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Eagles of forty nine ers. All these different teams in
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the middle of the season, it's just gonna be all
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: about the AFC. So to me, that's where the value
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: is gonna be this upcoming season.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: We gotta talk about Cleveland. We gotta talk about Deshaun Watson. Yeah,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: how do we judge what happens next? Are we oracles
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and we see him playing brilliantly? Are we thinking that
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: he's lost it and he'll never get back to where
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: he was, Because that's where the value is, and there's
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: nothing to tell us right or wrong other than belief
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: or am I missing something?
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Well, the funniest thing is talking to like a lot
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of pros, especially old school pros, where they just think
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: of all the franchises through all the years. They think
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the Browns have some of the worst karma and just
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: everything around them is just terrible. Right. They literally we
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: had what was it four years and then analytically tanking
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: passing on all these quarterbacks. They finally take Baker with
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a number one pick. This kid has arguably one of
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the best rookie season we've ever seen. Following year, takes
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: them to the playoffs, gets them a playoff win. Shit,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they were a Chad Henny pass away. Yeah, from make
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: it to an AFC championship game. So it's just they
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: were this close and then they fallen all the way
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: back down. They've gotten rid of Baker. They brought in
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a new quarterback that has arguably the most baggage we've
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: ever seen for a quarterback. Whatever's going on his head
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: isn't right. We saw it last year. He just did
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: not seem like the old Deshaun Watson. He seems different.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, I've read some really smart Browns beat
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: reporters who are they're the most locked in people for
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that franchise. They say that everything at the end of
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the season was then working on this upcoming season. They
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: have purposely apparently put Watson in uncontrapositions, right, they wanted
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: to put him in bad spots to learn the offense
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. That made no sense to me, Like,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I get what they're trying to say that it's a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: spin zone. They're like, well, they're putting them in these
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: hard spots so the next year it's easier for him
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: to do this offense. Why wouln't you want to get
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Sehn Watson's confidence back? The guy had done not played
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a football game in over two years. The whole story
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: is just weird to meet, Chad. So coming to the season,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be all over this Browns team, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you nailed it off the top. I just think this
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: division is so damn good, Like the Browns have gotten better,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the Ravens have gotten better, Pittsburgh has gotten better, and
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to me, this is it for Cincy. This is the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: since He's really last great year because they still got
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: t Higgins under that cheap deal. They still got Boyd
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to receiver, and they still got Chase like that to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: me is the best receiving corps with a top five quarterback.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: We all expect Sincey to be the top there. But
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: me and Chad talked about it last year. The Ravens
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: should have won this division. We know that there is
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: opportunity to steal this division because they just beat up
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: on each other. So to me, I wanted to believe
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the Browns, Chad, but this division, I rather believe in
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or the Ravens like you talked about then, I
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: rather believe in the Browns. So I made one future
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: bet on the Browns. I won't be betting anymore. Like
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I'll take them at whatever, I got it at forty
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to one. That's it. Like usually, I'll keep doubling up
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: anymore in futures the Browns, I'm not doing it. I'm
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: gonna wait and see what Watson is because right now
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: he look broken to me. So we see big jumps
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: this year. I'll be back in on the brown team.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: But as you said here today, Chad, no, I will
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: not put another penny on this Browns team.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: The Ravens should have won the division. The Ravens should
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: have won the playoff game.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I still I have not them that ball at the.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: One before we get out of here. Any long shot
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: for MVP in the AFC, let me give you hold on,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: let me give you some Let me give you some
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: bet three six five odds for the UH we got
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes at six to one, Joe Burrow six and
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: a half to one, Josh Allen eight to one. By
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the way, Justin Herbert ten to one. Pretty good indication
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: of where the quality is for players. Jalen Hurts twelfth
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: to one. Then Lamar Aaron Rodgers to Trevor so of
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the first one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: ten players listed. One AFC player NFC one NFC player,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: And I also don't.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Hate those odds. Were hurts just because in that division
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in the NFC, especially the conference, I think he's going
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to stand above. But I honestly like the Trevor Lawrence odds.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: They've come down a little bit. I still think you're
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: getting good value there where I could see him put
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: up the stats. He's just he's in a really weak division.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I just think he has all the confidence in the world.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Everything I've seen, I just love the trajector of the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Jaguars team. So for me, if I had to pick
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: two right now, I do hurt. So I do Trevor Lawrence.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Peblue One's twenty to one. Jalen Hurts twelve to one.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say right now, I think it's worth putting
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: a little touch, just a little, a little, tiny little
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: touch justin fields twenty five to one.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Don't hate it. Yeah, I mean, I know people are
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: gonna get sick about me, and chat are going to
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: be talking about the Bears a lot. They just I
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see the schedule release because that's you know,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: that's my favorite thing that happens. But to me, the Bears,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: they're just in a prime position to have an incredible season.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Gonna be sick of it. Guy, I like, I'm already
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: getting comments on Twitter. We get it, you're a Bears fan.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Let's stop talking about the Bears. Look, I haven't talked
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: about the Bears on any version of this podcast since
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I started at ESPN in two thousand and eight. Okay,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I can't help it if all of a sudden, they're
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: one of the teams that most people are talking about.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: If you listened to the podcast on Monday. Earlier in
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: the week, Nate Tice, our guest, and Simon, when we
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: asked the question who's the team that helped themselves the
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: most in the NFC, they boasted the Bears. I didn't
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: say it. I said the Eagles.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: If people want a true story, here Chad a true story.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: To end it real quick. Yeah, this is how I
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: found Chad. My good friend, Chad Moleman, a good lifelong friend.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Now this is true a professional. Better send me a
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: clip of Chad taking the Bears at home as a
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: six point favorite over the Eagles in the divisional playoff game,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I see the guy is that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: reeal and goes I swear to God, this guy is
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: taking an unexperienced Mitch Trubisky against the defending Super Bowl
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: champion Eagles as a six point home favorite. So I
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: reach out to Chat. I said, never again in the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: rest of your life people make that mistake of taking
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: a home favorite who's never played in a playoff game before.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: So don't let Chad fully he's all in on the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Bears and they're good, but we'll be smart here. We're
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: not going to blindly bet the Bears. Don't worry people.
