- 1:22Speaker 1: to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I am Chad Moman, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It is Thursday when we are recording. We are live
- 1:35Speaker 1: on app. Welcome to those listeners. I am joined as
- 1:39Speaker 1: I am every episode by my co host, my companion,
- 1:43Speaker 1: my bff, my compadre professional better Simon Hunter. Hello, Simon,
- 1:53Speaker 1: we just got to spend lovely few days together in
- 1:57Speaker 1: New York. The last podcast we recorded live in our
- 2:01Speaker 1: new Action Network studio. Now we were both back home
- 2:06Speaker 1: getting ready to light it up. I don't know about you, Chad,
- 2:10Speaker 1: but I'm of those people that I think it's because
- 2:12Speaker 1: I've seen so many movies. The main reason I hate
- 2:15Speaker 1: going to New York. I swear every time I go there,
- 2:17Speaker 1: the zombie Apocalypse is gonna happen, or either the Aliens
- 2:19Speaker 1: are gonna land and I'm gonna be stuck in a
- 2:21Speaker 1: city with nine million people in no way out and
- 2:25Speaker 1: luckily that didnt happen. Cheat I got a little cold,
- 2:27Speaker 1: that's the only thing negative. But the rest of the trip,
- 2:29Speaker 1: he said, Chad was a good time. It was funny
- 2:32Speaker 1: around the action, people talking football. But I'm not gonna
- 2:35Speaker 1: lie to you. As soon as I got on that
- 2:36Speaker 1: train and got out of the city, I was just like, ah,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I survived. I survived at New York City just because
- 2:42Speaker 1: it does cheer you up and spit you out if
- 2:44Speaker 1: you're just working NonStop. But it was one of those
- 2:46Speaker 1: where there is a definite vibe to the city. I
- 2:50Speaker 1: think you mean you both agree on that if you've
- 2:51Speaker 1: never been in New York City, not that it makes
- 2:54Speaker 1: you feel a certain way, but it kind of does,
- 2:56Speaker 1: like it makes you feel more alive and more connect
- 3:00Speaker 1: and it's just so many people, and it's one of
- 3:01Speaker 1: those where if you're not there, you appreciate New York City,
- 3:04Speaker 1: but if you're there for more than four days, it
- 3:05Speaker 1: starts getting old pretty quick. So uh, definitely enjoyed our
- 3:08Speaker 1: time together. Brother. That's a really interesting perspective. I feel
- 3:12Speaker 1: all those same things as someone who lived in Manhattan
- 3:17Speaker 1: for twelve years and lived just outside the city for
- 3:21Speaker 1: six years and commuted into the city on a regular basis. Um,
- 3:26Speaker 1: when I lived in the city and we were about
- 3:28Speaker 1: to move out, this is this is you know, dark thoughts.
- 3:33Speaker 1: But we were living on the Upper east Side. I
- 3:35Speaker 1: would take the six train from the Upper east Side
- 3:38Speaker 1: to thirty four Street to go to my office at ESPN,
- 3:40Speaker 1: the magazine. So it's only six stops on the subway. Um.
- 3:45Speaker 1: In the last thirty days this was two thousand five,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and the last thirty days before we moved from Manhattan
- 3:51Speaker 1: to Montclair, New Jersey. We had a three year old
- 3:54Speaker 1: at the time. I would say to myself, please let
- 3:59Speaker 1: this not be the day where the city blows up,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and don't forget this is four years after nine eleven.
- 4:05Speaker 1: So like you were always sort of feeling a little
- 4:07Speaker 1: bit of that anxiety. And it's funny my wife and
- 4:10Speaker 1: I now were old and we live in Connecticut, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: like our kids are nineteen in college and sixteen and
- 4:17Speaker 1: two and a half years away from leaving, and so
- 4:19Speaker 1: we think, like, she's from Manhattan, she's from New York, right,
- 4:22Speaker 1: she grew up in Staten Island. She loves the city,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and and we always think when we go to visit,
- 4:28Speaker 1: we want to move back here, we want to get
- 4:30Speaker 1: an apartment here. Whatever, we always settle on note which
- 4:34Speaker 1: is odd. First for my wife, who is New York
- 4:37Speaker 1: to the core and she's an architect, Like she went
- 4:41Speaker 1: to she went to grad school in the city. She
- 4:44Speaker 1: went to Parsons like where we were where you know,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I stayed in Union Square, Like I was a block
- 4:50Speaker 1: from where she went to grad school. Um, so I
- 4:53Speaker 1: know that area. Well, we were always down there, and I, Um,
- 4:58Speaker 1: we now think like we couldn't live here. We would
- 5:01Speaker 1: be too afraid, Like if the apocalypse came, how wouldn't
- 5:05Speaker 1: we get out? Yeah, I thought, But I also I thought,
- 5:09Speaker 1: not that things change because of code. I lived in
- 5:11Speaker 1: the city when I used to worked back in the day,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and I used to hate it because just driving the
- 5:14Speaker 1: city is really tough. Um. The biggest change I noticed
- 5:18Speaker 1: since COVID, though, is because we had early mornings for work.
- 5:21Speaker 1: We're getting up at six seven in the morning. How
- 5:23Speaker 1: empty the streets were were it used to be back
- 5:26Speaker 1: in the day, there was always something going on. It
- 5:27Speaker 1: didn't matter if it was six or seven am. To
- 5:29Speaker 1: other people at seven six pm, right, that's just doesn't
- 5:32Speaker 1: matter that it's that time. I couldn't believe early quiet.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It was when you're getting up early in the morning,
- 5:37Speaker 1: which I see is the coolest time. Do you see
- 5:39Speaker 1: the city if you're an earlier riser. That's my recommendation
- 5:41Speaker 1: from New York City. I I'm not a big jogger,
- 5:45Speaker 1: but as you know, I'm an obsessive exerciser, and that
- 5:49Speaker 1: you're gonna live forever. I'm gonna live forever. The only
- 5:51Speaker 1: time I go for runs is in New York because
- 5:53Speaker 1: I go really early in the morning when it's empty,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and it's fantastic. Yeah, that's true, and you're not wrong.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Like you can walk around New York and when things
- 6:00Speaker 1: are going well and we had a great weekend, it
- 6:03Speaker 1: was super fun. You can feel invincible, you can feel
- 6:06Speaker 1: the energy. You can feel like I'm making it in
- 6:08Speaker 1: New York City. And then when it's going bad, like
- 6:11Speaker 1: when things are negative, it eats of you because you
- 6:12Speaker 1: just see all the negativeness of New York City, like
- 6:15Speaker 1: guys being on the corner. There's trash everywhere. It's the
- 6:18Speaker 1: smell of the air. But like Chatty said, when you're
- 6:20Speaker 1: feeling good air, it's crisp, it's beautiful, the lights, everything
- 6:24Speaker 1: it was. Uh so it was a great weekend. Matt
- 6:28Speaker 1: Mitchell was there obviously, Yeah, he was an astounding presence.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Um watching Matt Mitchell as we discussed suffer that that
- 6:37Speaker 1: that Cowboys books under bet all right, So Tuesday we
- 6:42Speaker 1: decided Simon says it was Niners Dallas under forty six
- 6:46Speaker 1: and a half. I believe, um Foxhel I left my
- 6:49Speaker 1: notes in New York, so I'm trying to do this
- 6:51Speaker 1: from memory. Foxhole was Bills minus four and a half.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Exact decision was Chief Jags under the time you could
- 6:57Speaker 1: get it at fifty two or fifty three. It's now
- 6:59Speaker 1: settle the fifty three. Um, we're gonna come up with
- 7:04Speaker 1: the big balls. We're gonna talk a little bit more
- 7:05Speaker 1: in depth now that lines have been moving and we've
- 7:07Speaker 1: been seeing more stuff about sides and totals. Before we
- 7:12Speaker 1: get to any of that, let's do some Oh wait,

- 8:10Speaker 1: You've got to subscribe to the Favorite feed before we
- 8:13Speaker 1: get to anything else. Let's get too sharp. Call hello,
- 8:21Speaker 1: who's there? I'm talking telephone right. Somebody said, I'm interested
- 8:31Speaker 1: in this one man. Every game feel, every side and
- 8:34Speaker 1: every every total feels like it could have a strong opinion.
- 8:37Speaker 1: We were talking before we got in the air. Giants
- 8:39Speaker 1: Eagles very much feels that way. But tell me who
- 8:43Speaker 1: we've been, who's been calling us about what? Let's start
- 8:45Speaker 1: off right off with the bad one, because to me,
- 8:46Speaker 1: that's that's the biggest pro verse Pro game this this week,
- 8:51Speaker 1: is that Giants Eagles game where you have pros who
- 8:54Speaker 1: have made a lot of money back in this Giant's team.
- 8:57Speaker 1: It's a team they believed in the summer. It's the
- 8:59Speaker 1: co staff, they believe in the summer. They hit gold,
- 9:03Speaker 1: they be They bet them all year, um, even last week.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Not that it was one of the biggest bets. We
- 9:10Speaker 1: just knew. Guys were staunching their ways where it's like, Okay,
- 9:12Speaker 1: you're catching three against an in Fury Vikings team, this
- 9:15Speaker 1: is the spot to take it. They didn't care. That
- 9:16Speaker 1: was Daniel Jones right first career starting the playoffs. So,
- 9:20Speaker 1: I mean Chad talked to that, Like I my first
- 9:23Speaker 1: instincts just says a better was to take that Giant
- 9:25Speaker 1: seven seven and a a half in the line opened um,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and I just knew something was a little off about it.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Died more into the numbers, and obviously there's a huge
- 9:32Speaker 1: advantage towards this Eagles team, which we'll talk about we
- 9:34Speaker 1: start talking about that game. But just from the pro aspect,
- 9:38Speaker 1: I completely got there coming from Chad. I mean, Evan
- 9:41Speaker 1: Abrams puts out that's something I need to readtweet now.
- 9:44Speaker 1: I'll put it out when we put the show out.
- 9:45Speaker 1: It's just a trend article about all the trends this week.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I mean, well, maybe you have some red down have
- 9:51Speaker 1: covered down all these trends favored this Giants team. So yeah,
- 9:56Speaker 1: a lot of pro bettors. I know they throw their
- 9:58Speaker 1: model out because you already talked about your modele. It's
- 10:01Speaker 1: not as valuable as during the regular season come playoff time,
- 10:03Speaker 1: because the playoffs it's just a different beast. I used
- 10:06Speaker 1: to talk about the time when Brady was at such
- 10:07Speaker 1: an elite level. My model never caught up to Tom Brady.
- 10:11Speaker 1: It was one of those where it couldn't take into
- 10:12Speaker 1: account what he does and what makes him so special,
- 10:15Speaker 1: which is clutch us. There's no like we have luck rankings.
- 10:18Speaker 1: I don't have a clutch ranking that doesn't that doesn't
- 10:20Speaker 1: exist for me. That's something I always had a factor
- 10:22Speaker 1: in myself. So I don't always fade my model, but
- 10:25Speaker 1: I do in the playoffs where I got a bunch
- 10:28Speaker 1: of guys are lined up on one side and my
- 10:30Speaker 1: model just seems off. I'll agree with these guys because
- 10:32Speaker 1: they're just smarter than me. I know that, like they
- 10:34Speaker 1: is no more about football than I do. This is
- 10:36Speaker 1: one of those inst instances like a couple of really
- 10:39Speaker 1: smart groups have come in on the Eagles and that's
- 10:41Speaker 1: what driving this number rough. And I even texted Chat
- 10:43Speaker 1: like we talked yesterday. I didn't get it. I thought
- 10:46Speaker 1: by today's show we'd have a seven. I really did,
- 10:49Speaker 1: because I know how many smart people are on the Giants,
- 10:51Speaker 1: uh sharp wise, I know how much the public loves it,
- 10:53Speaker 1: like this is a public darling in this line. So yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 1: well we'll talk about that game. But if people it's
- 10:59Speaker 1: just like the Seahawks last week, they want to know
- 11:01Speaker 1: me and chat. We were on the fourt inands last week.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Most of the pros were on the Seahawks. It's the
- 11:06Speaker 1: same exact situation, and you're catching over seven a half
- 11:09Speaker 1: on a divisional dog. Um they already got swept during
- 11:13Speaker 1: the regular season, which again trends back up taking the
- 11:15Speaker 1: Giants in the spot, um being a divisional dog when
- 11:18Speaker 1: the touchdown that got swept in the regular season. So
- 11:22Speaker 1: n chead, it's it's one of those where I knew
- 11:25Speaker 1: we're gonna get calls about it, and it's one of
- 11:27Speaker 1: those that I I'm trying as hard as I cannot
- 11:30Speaker 1: to make it one of my bigger bets of the playoffs,
- 11:32Speaker 1: because I just love the spot. The more I look
- 11:34Speaker 1: at this Eagles team, they're just crazy under value for
- 11:37Speaker 1: how good their offensive scheme is and their offensive line
- 11:40Speaker 1: is going against the Giants defense that is playing way
- 11:42Speaker 1: above its head. But they're about to run into what
- 11:45Speaker 1: I view was a juggernaut. So sharp calls start off
- 11:48Speaker 1: right with that one. Every other one we're kind of back.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Yet everyone likes our picks. Honestly, the pros are on
- 11:53Speaker 1: the Jaguars with us no shock that they have the
- 11:56Speaker 1: exact They can look at the xact same stuff we're
- 11:57Speaker 1: looking at. Of Jaguars will always been about the Chiefs
- 12:00Speaker 1: will always be overvalid by the public. The biggest thing
- 12:03Speaker 1: is because everyone of their grandma's gonna tease this Chiefs
- 12:05Speaker 1: team like them and the Eagles. That two teams cheeser
- 12:07Speaker 1: that's just gonna be there. So this Nember should be
- 12:09Speaker 1: closer to seven and a half. They're they're bumping eight
- 12:12Speaker 1: a half just to protect this against teasers. It's a
- 12:14Speaker 1: two and a half in a teaser. We've seen some
- 12:16Speaker 1: books touch nine, so obviously there are some pros coming
- 12:19Speaker 1: in on this Chiefs team. If you didn't graduate and
- 12:22Speaker 1: a half, which I I would just be safe. I
- 12:25Speaker 1: do think it might be able to touch nine by
- 12:27Speaker 1: this weekend, just because I do think the public will
- 12:30Speaker 1: come in heavy on the Chiefs team. It's just it's
- 12:32Speaker 1: not that I feel like it's looking very chalky this
- 12:34Speaker 1: uh the next this round, but it does feel that
- 12:37Speaker 1: way a little bit where they f C. I mean,
- 12:39Speaker 1: Chad we already talked about me and they were both
- 12:41Speaker 1: on the bills. We like the Jacks. Obviously I'm gonna
- 12:43Speaker 1: take the Jags money line as well, just because a
- 12:46Speaker 1: historical data backs up in this divisional round. If you
- 12:48Speaker 1: take like anyone taking the Giants, you have to throw
- 12:51Speaker 1: someone the money line. If you're back in the dog,
- 12:53Speaker 1: you might as well throw some division on the money
- 12:55Speaker 1: line because the return on investment of that I don't
- 12:58Speaker 1: even know. I think it was the last twenty years
- 12:59Speaker 1: I saw on thatent labs. It was like, you bet
- 13:02Speaker 1: a hunter up twenty two k on these divisional dogs
- 13:05Speaker 1: taking this number. So that's one of those where regular season, right,
- 13:09Speaker 1: me and Chad talked about we start weeding off taking
- 13:11Speaker 1: big putting big money on underdogs money lines just because
- 13:13Speaker 1: it wasn't hitting playoffs. You kind of throw that out.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You're looking at the trends. You don't really worry about
- 13:17Speaker 1: what happened during the regular season with that stuff. So
- 13:20Speaker 1: um again, if you like the Jags like we do,
- 13:22Speaker 1: taking the number, taking the money line, um, let me
- 13:26Speaker 1: let me speak to one trend um since you brought
- 13:29Speaker 1: up the trends, and it applies to both the Jags
- 13:32Speaker 1: and the Giants. Number one seeds and one against the
- 13:37Speaker 1: spread the past twenty years in this round when those
- 13:41Speaker 1: seeds are favored by less than ten points eight and
- 13:46Speaker 1: one against the spread. So we got big favorites in
- 13:51Speaker 1: the Eagles, and we got big favorites in the Chiefs,
- 13:55Speaker 1: and it's very possible we may be split. And that's
- 13:58Speaker 1: teams with above and eight percent winning percentage, right, no, no,
- 14:01Speaker 1: this is just it, okay. And so it's even worse too,
- 14:05Speaker 1: teams above teams with above winning percentage, which would be
- 14:08Speaker 1: the forty niners, the Bills, um, the Eagles and the Chiefs.
- 14:13Speaker 1: It's even worse where it's like it's the same thing.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It's like those favorites covered and when they're less than
- 14:19Speaker 1: ten point favorite. So that's one of those like I'll
- 14:24Speaker 1: keep it moving that the sharp calls were the Cowboys.
- 14:27Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it. I want to be
- 14:29Speaker 1: I want to be on the forty Niners. I just
- 14:31Speaker 1: I just know really smart guys, really smart money. So
- 14:34Speaker 1: that's the game will break down that are on the Cowboys,
- 14:36Speaker 1: So that's another one will break down. And same with
- 14:38Speaker 1: the Bills. We gave it out of four four and
- 14:40Speaker 1: a half. You've seen it, you've seen him steam up,
- 14:42Speaker 1: and no out of five five and a half. If
- 14:43Speaker 1: you're a Sinci backer, it's a dead zone number. Where
- 14:47Speaker 1: the Bills it's not. If you're a Bill's backer, you
- 14:49Speaker 1: still want to grab the five ma half just in
- 14:50Speaker 1: case it does hit that six, which means you had
- 14:52Speaker 1: to talk all the time. That's six. It hits at
- 14:55Speaker 1: whatever said, it's only just a one percent more chance
- 14:58Speaker 1: than hitting the five. At the five, that's still a
- 15:00Speaker 1: big deal long term betting. So to me, five and
- 15:03Speaker 1: a half has become a very key number. Keep being
- 15:05Speaker 1: under the six. Um, we talk all the time, the
- 15:07Speaker 1: extra points two point conversion. Six just lands at a
- 15:10Speaker 1: higher rate than they used to. So to me, if
- 15:12Speaker 1: you're a Bill's backer, yeah, it would suck if it
- 15:15Speaker 1: drops down a four and a before kickoff. No one
- 15:17Speaker 1: can predict that. I grabbed the five half just in
- 15:19Speaker 1: case it does hit the six, where once hit the six,
- 15:22Speaker 1: you're you're kind of just leaving yourself up into a push,
- 15:25Speaker 1: which I hate so um to me, the pros they
- 15:28Speaker 1: already grabbed it. I don't really think it might go
- 15:30Speaker 1: up that much because most sharp guys I talked to
- 15:33Speaker 1: they grabbed the four. They grabbed the four and a half.
- 15:35Speaker 1: And what they had done is they grabbed since he
- 15:36Speaker 1: early in the week at six and a half, so
- 15:38Speaker 1: they were like, Okay, I'll try to play a middle now.
- 15:40Speaker 1: It seems like the Bills will be one of their
- 15:42Speaker 1: bigger bets. I think everyone's looking at the model and
- 15:45Speaker 1: seeing how big of big of a deal these injuries are. Um,
- 15:48Speaker 1: I believe it's both tackles and and a guard out
- 15:51Speaker 1: for since I'm not positive it could be their center,
- 15:53Speaker 1: but I believe it's the guard that got injured last week.
- 15:56Speaker 1: So we we talk all the time. I'mportant offensive line
- 16:00Speaker 1: is it's it's so it's so important come playoff time
- 16:04Speaker 1: scheme wise too. So uh yeah, excited to break down
- 16:07Speaker 1: these four games. I was just I knew we were
- 16:11Speaker 1: getting the same side of all the pros. I'm just
- 16:13Speaker 1: shocked that so many pros are on the giants where
- 16:17Speaker 1: it just I get it, all the trends, anything backs it,
- 16:20Speaker 1: but just I feel like even you like the spiky
- 16:22Speaker 1: sense everything's kicking up here, a little bit of this
- 16:24Speaker 1: is a a funky wonky number here. Well, it's it's
- 16:28Speaker 1: truly a um let's talk about that game to start. Uh,
- 16:34Speaker 1: it's truly a trends matchups game, right, Um, and like
- 16:40Speaker 1: it's it. I think Stucky. I listened to the Action
- 16:44Speaker 1: Network pod this morning, and you know, shout out to
- 16:49Speaker 1: both Raybon and Stucky who layered in ref stats galore
- 16:56Speaker 1: to start the podcast, which I love. Um, hockey, Uh,
- 17:05Speaker 1: there was nobody likes hockey and they love to talk
- 17:10Speaker 1: about They were talking about how hockey is the guy
- 17:13Speaker 1: who loves to be the villain and like call the
- 17:16Speaker 1: penalties that makes the home town fans rained down fire. Um,
- 17:23Speaker 1: so that was funny. But also I think stuck he
- 17:26Speaker 1: pointed out Jordan Davis and Jalen Hurts in the lineup.
- 17:31Speaker 1: The Eagles didn't lose this year, so we like this
- 17:37Speaker 1: is a trend play versus a a on the field matchup, play,
- 17:42Speaker 1: and in every way the Eagles should destroy the Giants
- 17:49Speaker 1: and then forget about trends. Like what you and I
- 17:53Speaker 1: talk about more than anything is public perception and on
- 17:58Speaker 1: the field matchup and where those two things meet. I
- 18:02Speaker 1: feel like the Giants are more of a public dog
- 18:05Speaker 1: than the Eagles are a public favorite. Um Because of
- 18:10Speaker 1: the way the Eagles played the last six weeks of
- 18:12Speaker 1: the year, with Jalen Hurts being injured and Gardner Minshew
- 18:15Speaker 1: playing and having a struggle to secure the number one seed,
- 18:18Speaker 1: people just think they didn't look right. It feels to
- 18:22Speaker 1: me like this is where you go against the trend
- 18:24Speaker 1: and you take the team that is better on the field.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I just waiting on that set. I'm just waiting on
- 18:29Speaker 1: the seven. And that's what's been pissing me off though chat.
- 18:31Speaker 1: It's like, why are they're not giving us the seven?
- 18:33Speaker 1: I don't get it. Like we joke all the time,
- 18:37Speaker 1: they're not your friends. They're not being nice giving given
- 18:39Speaker 1: that extra hook on the seven and a half. We'll
- 18:43Speaker 1: talk all the time, I like I do. It is
- 18:45Speaker 1: nice when you take when you line up a line
- 18:47Speaker 1: and you take a stand with the books right. It's
- 18:49Speaker 1: nice when the book needs the same side of you need,
- 18:51Speaker 1: Like we don't always findly bet the fade the public,
- 18:53Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, but we do look for
- 18:56Speaker 1: those opportunities of being on the same side as the book,
- 18:59Speaker 1: but Roy looking for the value. And like you just said,
- 19:02Speaker 1: the Eagles, the public just their public reception has just
- 19:06Speaker 1: been dreadful the last month, I mean since the Herrist injury.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Like you said, they want Owen two with minshow and
- 19:12Speaker 1: then they barely beat the backups of the Giants, and
- 19:15Speaker 1: the public do they understand the Eagles literally didn't run
- 19:18Speaker 1: an offense in that second half. No, they just see
- 19:21Speaker 1: the final score of well the back door and they
- 19:23Speaker 1: covered the number of the Giants against this Eagles team.
- 19:25Speaker 1: So I'm right there with you. I think this is
- 19:28Speaker 1: more of a matchup of you know, pro trend and betters,
- 19:32Speaker 1: guys who just simply bet trends and make a good
- 19:34Speaker 1: living betting trends because you can do it like there
- 19:37Speaker 1: there really is a science to the trend stuff. Obviously
- 19:41Speaker 1: we don't blindly bet it, but me chat like to
- 19:42Speaker 1: use it to line up with what we're trying to
- 19:44Speaker 1: bet against. Guys to do models like me where it's
- 19:47Speaker 1: like I feel like anyone that builds a model looks
- 19:50Speaker 1: at the numbers, it's like, well, it's gonna favorite this
- 19:52Speaker 1: ego side just because they are so good on the
- 19:54Speaker 1: defensive lot and the offensive line. But um, like boring
- 19:59Speaker 1: to other people. Favorite matchup in this game. It's not
- 20:02Speaker 1: say the offense versus Devense, whatever you wanna say. It's
- 20:05Speaker 1: literally Kelsey versus Dexter Lawrence, Like I can't wait to
- 20:08Speaker 1: see that matchup. Um to all pros versus each other
- 20:11Speaker 1: in that D line and offensive line for the Eagles.
- 20:13Speaker 1: So um, yeah, this game chat, I want to seven.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Like I haven't bet that much on the seven and
- 20:20Speaker 1: a half just because I've been waiting for the seven.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I'll be pissed if it does go to eight, right
- 20:25Speaker 1: like me and you both would be a little pissed
- 20:26Speaker 1: if we missed the seven a half. So we'll see.
- 20:28Speaker 1: I probably will end up just you know, biting the
- 20:31Speaker 1: bullet and just doing and taking the seven and a half.
- 20:33Speaker 1: But I don't get it. All the money everyone I
- 20:37Speaker 1: talked to, all the tickets, even like I'm looking at
- 20:39Speaker 1: right now, they're all on the Giants and it's not
- 20:41Speaker 1: even off the seven half in any book. So I
- 20:44Speaker 1: just texted a guy and asked him, UM, wait for
- 20:46Speaker 1: his text backs if if he's if he's seen any
- 20:48Speaker 1: sevenths through the night, like when I was asleep, if
- 20:50Speaker 1: anyone books touched seven. But like I wake up through
- 20:53Speaker 1: the night and I checked my fun all the time
- 20:54Speaker 1: and I never saw a seven. So to me, the
- 20:57Speaker 1: books are cleared. Taking a stand here on the Eagles
- 21:00Speaker 1: um being chattered taking a stand as well, And we
- 21:03Speaker 1: might have a ton of egg on our face come
- 21:06Speaker 1: next to that when we come back here on the show.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Just because we already talked about all these little trends
- 21:11Speaker 1: point to backing blindly just back in the Giants here.
- 21:14Speaker 1: It's a good spot to back the best team a
- 21:17Speaker 1: t S wise this season. So the people that are
- 21:20Speaker 1: believers in them, they will be heavily rewarded. Me and
- 21:22Speaker 1: Chad who are believers in fading public perception, getting value
- 21:26Speaker 1: on a home favorite. And you know, looking at this
- 21:30Speaker 1: Eagles team that they're not even the favorite right now
- 21:32Speaker 1: in the NFC. The rookie quarterback Brock Purty and the
- 21:36Speaker 1: Fodders team is. So that lets you kind of all
- 21:38Speaker 1: you need to know about the market and what it
- 21:40Speaker 1: thinks of this egos team. I just think we're getting
- 21:42Speaker 1: a good undervalue team. Where if this number was ten, yes,
- 21:47Speaker 1: that'd be impossible for me. Each had to get off
- 21:49Speaker 1: of the giants, and then also the giants get blot
- 21:50Speaker 1: up by twenty we look like idiots. But at the
- 21:53Speaker 1: seven and a half, it's just it feels like it's
- 21:56Speaker 1: a good number, Like this number should be closer to
- 21:57Speaker 1: eight eight and a half. It's seven seven a half,
- 22:00Speaker 1: which I do think it's the slimmest amount of value.
- 22:03Speaker 1: I just think because people are that sharp, like that's
- 22:05Speaker 1: how smart these betters are. They're not gonna let it
- 22:07Speaker 1: get down below that seven or seven and a half.
- 22:09Speaker 1: So yeah, me chat are waiting for the seven. But
- 22:12Speaker 1: if if it doesn't get there, I gotta know what
- 22:14Speaker 1: you'd bet in the seven and a half. I love
- 22:16Speaker 1: how you get up in the middle of the night
- 22:18Speaker 1: regularly to check your phone to see if lines moved.
- 22:21Speaker 1: I get up regularly in the middle of the night
- 22:23Speaker 1: to pee. Now that's my forever favorite thing. If you
- 22:27Speaker 1: haven't downloaded the Action app is the one clicks one
- 22:30Speaker 1: stop shop to see all different books and what the
- 22:33Speaker 1: number is. It's just it's the ultimate game change because
- 22:36Speaker 1: back in there you have to go through every site,
- 22:37Speaker 1: which is does it sounds like a lot of work,
- 22:39Speaker 1: but it's a pain the ask to do putting your
- 22:41Speaker 1: going through each site to get each number. So once
- 22:44Speaker 1: again Action app. It's free to download, right, Chad, it's
- 22:48Speaker 1: the easy look at you one weekend in a studio
- 22:52Speaker 1: and by the way, people listening, you know, Simmons become
- 22:57Speaker 1: a remarkable media professional and in three short years he
- 23:02Speaker 1: was unreal in the studio. This weekend we were getting
- 23:07Speaker 1: all kinds of accolades from the production team. How wonderful
- 23:13Speaker 1: it was to work with Simon. Professional prepared, great on air,
- 23:18Speaker 1: so kind, so appreciative, Simon, way to go, say, if
- 23:25Speaker 1: it's only once a year, I can do it an
- 23:27Speaker 1: outdoor cat. If you gotta bring him in a couple
- 23:29Speaker 1: of times a year, if it's gonna work, oh yeah,
- 23:31Speaker 1: I totally thought, like sign is going to get us
- 23:34Speaker 1: all fired this weekend. He great. You know what I did, Chad?

- 25:54Speaker 1: said we might. We're thinking about making eagles are big balls.
- 25:56Speaker 1: You got a different big balls because I'm I'll be honest,
- 25:59Speaker 1: we do all the games. It's really giving me fits
- 26:02Speaker 1: and it's the hardest want me to click bet on
- 26:05Speaker 1: my on my computer on my phone is that Eagles game?
- 26:08Speaker 1: The seven a half is just it's making me me
- 26:10Speaker 1: feel like a coward. I'm just I hate the number.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I do too, so we do it this But this
- 26:16Speaker 1: is such a great lesson. This game. This game is
- 26:19Speaker 1: a microcosm of why betting is hard, whether you're a
- 26:23Speaker 1: professional or not, because you want to be patient, but
- 26:27Speaker 1: you want to time the market. You wanna understand the
- 26:32Speaker 1: the right side to play and when the books are
- 26:35Speaker 1: trying to bait you, but you want to understand public perception. Uh,
- 26:39Speaker 1: it's it. This is the hook is the hardest number
- 26:45Speaker 1: in sports. It is because a lot of times one
- 26:48Speaker 1: of the matter. That's what sucks where I'm trying to
- 26:50Speaker 1: overthink it. But just when you think it won't matter,
- 26:53Speaker 1: it does such a key This is such a key number.
- 26:57Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I feel get takes a little bit
- 27:00Speaker 1: of having big balls here to take a minus seven
- 27:02Speaker 1: and a half because the truth is, I think we
- 27:04Speaker 1: both think the Eagles probably should be favored by ten. Yeah. No,
- 27:08Speaker 1: if Hurts plays out the season, we dropped only one
- 27:11Speaker 1: game to Washington the whole year, and we play out
- 27:13Speaker 1: and we went all the rest of the games. You know,
- 27:15Speaker 1: this game would easily be closer to ten, especially the
- 27:18Speaker 1: fact that you know, people all year doubt of the
- 27:20Speaker 1: Eagles team. I mean, how many times I gotta say it,
- 27:23Speaker 1: NFC beast, it's by far the best division in the NFC.
- 27:26Speaker 1: And when we're sitting here looking at potential of being
- 27:29Speaker 1: an Eagles um Cowboys match, we're Giants Cowboys, uh for
- 27:33Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, which is crazy to think because
- 27:36Speaker 1: it was it two years ago we had like an
- 27:38Speaker 1: eight and nine whoever was Washington making the playoffs or
- 27:41Speaker 1: eight and eight. So it's one of those where went
- 27:43Speaker 1: from being the worst division of football to arguably one
- 27:46Speaker 1: of the best divisions of football. So the Eagles just
- 27:48Speaker 1: seemed like a battle tested team that went through a
- 27:51Speaker 1: really tough season, a lot of ups and downs, a
- 27:53Speaker 1: lot of injuries, and I like a team of adversity
- 27:56Speaker 1: and a team that is just being doubted, like we
- 27:58Speaker 1: just talked about. I can't get over it. I can't
- 28:00Speaker 1: believe Rock Party is the favor right now to win
- 28:02Speaker 1: the NFC. It just feels like the overreaction of the
- 28:05Speaker 1: public is an all time high for the FOS team
- 28:08Speaker 1: and vice versa being low on this Eagles team. That
- 28:10Speaker 1: give me it's still a class of the NFC. The
- 28:13Speaker 1: NFC East has three teams in the divisional playoffs and
- 28:18Speaker 1: one team that leads the league in congressional and federal investigations.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Nobody can say that this division underachieves ever. Again, it's
- 28:28Speaker 1: facts facts. The problem with making the Giants Eagles are
- 28:34Speaker 1: big balls is I think it does a disservice to
- 28:38Speaker 1: the listeners because we really want to wait for the
- 28:41Speaker 1: seven and like, I don't think you and I I
- 28:44Speaker 1: have not bet this game yet. I am not going
- 28:46Speaker 1: to bet it at seven and a half. I'm either
- 28:48Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna suck it up and it's gonna go
- 28:52Speaker 1: to eight and I'll end up betting it at eight anyways,
- 28:55Speaker 1: or I'm gonna wait for the seven and even at eight,
- 28:58Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bet the Eagles. I'm just wait to
- 29:00Speaker 1: see what happens with this number. So I don't think
- 29:02Speaker 1: we could do big bass because I don't think you
- 29:04Speaker 1: and I are gonna bet it at seven and a half.
- 29:06Speaker 1: I am man Mitchell hit that drop calling a chat here.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Goddamn coward, What did you say? It's my nerves, sir.
- 29:12Speaker 1: I just can't stand you anymore. Hell, you're just a
- 29:15Speaker 1: goddamn color. I won't have songs of pitches. We're afraid
- 29:19Speaker 1: to fight staying up this place of honor here. God
- 29:23Speaker 1: damn you take that seven a half? You enjoy it?
- 29:26Speaker 1: Chat now? I really don't. I just don't think we're
- 29:28Speaker 1: gonna get to the seven. I'll be honest with you,
- 29:29Speaker 1: but I completely agree with you. Everyone can wait and
- 29:32Speaker 1: hope for the seven. But like I'm I'm I'm gonna
- 29:36Speaker 1: throw a decent amount of the seven a half just
- 29:39Speaker 1: all right, Well that's different than what you were saying.
- 29:41Speaker 1: You didn't say that to me. I'm saying like I'm
- 29:43Speaker 1: waiting for it. But obviously, like comes Friday, I gotta
- 29:46Speaker 1: start getting money like I can't. I can't start just
- 29:48Speaker 1: betting everything Saturday Sunday morning. I just sadly it doesn't
- 29:52Speaker 1: work that way. Um So yeah, like bye bye tonight.
- 29:57Speaker 1: If there's still no seventh, Chad, I will start unloading
- 30:01Speaker 1: money onto the seven and a half. No no worries
- 30:03Speaker 1: from me, but we want the seven here's the beauty
- 30:06Speaker 1: now of the podcast being released by five thirty in
- 30:11Speaker 1: the evening on the day we record it. As long
- 30:14Speaker 1: as people subscribe to the favorites feed. This isn't just
- 30:18Speaker 1: a regular silly promo. This is advantageous. We can tell
- 30:24Speaker 1: them this can be our big balls, but bet it
- 30:28Speaker 1: like if it's if it hasn't moved from seven and
- 30:30Speaker 1: a half by Thursday night, big balls better the week
- 30:36Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles minus seven and a half, and I will
- 30:38Speaker 1: do the same thing. I'm not gonna say the name,
- 30:40Speaker 1: but if you open up the app, there is one
- 30:42Speaker 1: seven out there right now. Um, but it's a company
- 30:46Speaker 1: that does not sponsor us. Mhm. And then again, if
- 30:50Speaker 1: you're terrified of the seven and you want to back
- 30:52Speaker 1: a team that's been incredible in the first half, and
- 30:54Speaker 1: the Eagles, you could do that, and there's some three
- 30:56Speaker 1: and a half fours out there. I'm just a little
- 30:58Speaker 1: worried about what means chat talked about of a team
- 31:02Speaker 1: coming off a bye week sometimes starting slow, So that's
- 31:04Speaker 1: always a worry with that. So UM to me, I
- 31:07Speaker 1: don't mind the seven half as much, um, But obviously
- 31:09Speaker 1: we'll be on the Eagles first half as well, and
- 31:12Speaker 1: the pricing on the seven and a half, it's all
- 31:15Speaker 1: over the place. I'm seeing it is minus one twelve
- 31:18Speaker 1: minus one oh nine minus one ten. Like the minus
- 31:22Speaker 1: one twelve would tell me that it might be going
- 31:23Speaker 1: to eight. Uh, like some books are about to go
- 31:26Speaker 1: to eight and others are about to get back to seven.
- 31:29Speaker 1: That's that's so interesting. I told you it's pro on
- 31:33Speaker 1: pro so it depends what books limit, what guys um.
- 31:36Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely definitely split the next three hands, we're
- 31:42Speaker 1: gonna talk about them. They're not split. No, Uh, let's
- 31:45Speaker 1: talk about Jacksonville and the Chiefs. Let me ask you this.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I know you don't agree with this, but I'm on
- 31:53Speaker 1: the under and I hate correlating the under an aside
- 31:58Speaker 1: in a game. I just hate it. Yeah, yeah, because
- 32:03Speaker 1: then like I end up like having a root for
- 32:06Speaker 1: two different things. Well, that's why you always go larger
- 32:09Speaker 1: on one than the other. Like if I say I
- 32:11Speaker 1: do a side and a total, I'll go one unit
- 32:13Speaker 1: on a side and then happy unit on the under
- 32:15Speaker 1: or vice versia um, because the actuality, that is how
- 32:18Speaker 1: it is. We're like I'm gonna have fifty cameras side
- 32:21Speaker 1: and just ten k on a total, but I still
- 32:23Speaker 1: bet both, and I still have a decent amounts. I'm
- 32:25Speaker 1: gonna give out both. Um. Then I'm only you know
- 32:27Speaker 1: what I puts on the under. So I'm only going
- 32:32Speaker 1: to put fifty on the side or like thirty or forty. Um.
- 32:36Speaker 1: To me, the only fear is in Jackson Chiefs right now,
- 32:41Speaker 1: Jacks Chiefs. Um, My only fear of this game chat
- 32:43Speaker 1: is going back watched the last time they played, and
- 32:47Speaker 1: obviously Jaguars are not the same teams they were then.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Staying with the Chiefs though, I mean, they're improvements on
- 32:51Speaker 1: the defensive side has been pretty incredible the second half
- 32:54Speaker 1: of the season, just because their secondary is really young,
- 32:56Speaker 1: really really young. Um, they had they had a game
- 33:00Speaker 1: in which they want to turn up about they weren't
- 33:02Speaker 1: three and oh on turnovers and they still lost by
- 33:05Speaker 1: ten and we saw how how would happen. There's a
- 33:07Speaker 1: bunch of times they could have covered that number at
- 33:08Speaker 1: the end of that game. Uh, the Jaguars with the
- 33:10Speaker 1: Chiefs just didn't bounced their away. Where we're talking earlier
- 33:14Speaker 1: in the year when these two teams play early in
- 33:16Speaker 1: the year, and these two teams play so like one
- 33:18Speaker 1: of those where it's like I'm gonna throw it out.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Obviously the film because these teams are very different, but
- 33:23Speaker 1: you see a lot of what Andy's gonna do in
- 33:25Speaker 1: this game, where like the picking up, like not that
- 33:28Speaker 1: he was playing with his food. It felt like in
- 33:29Speaker 1: that game with My Homes a little bit though, like
- 33:32Speaker 1: a little bit. We're in the second half. They weren't
- 33:34Speaker 1: really doing much or showing much. They had multiple times
- 33:36Speaker 1: where they had run it on first time, run on second.
- 33:39Speaker 1: He would have a little you know, crazy play where
- 33:41Speaker 1: you try to pick up a first moment whatever it was,
- 33:43Speaker 1: but you let the Jags back into that game. So, um,
- 33:47Speaker 1: I was hoping the trends would back us more from
- 33:50Speaker 1: our guy Evan. They do a little bit like Favorite
- 33:52Speaker 1: Mahomes in this position as a big favorite. Obviously, this
- 33:56Speaker 1: year has not been good to them. The dogs have
- 33:58Speaker 1: been covering as a big dog, especially at home homes.
- 34:01Speaker 1: A moment's surprising. He is better on the road at
- 34:03Speaker 1: s wise he is at home. Um, you already talked
- 34:06Speaker 1: about the under. We were blindly gonna be on this
- 34:08Speaker 1: this This is just an automatic play this under. Historically
- 34:11Speaker 1: the trends back at also matchup wise, this is just
- 34:14Speaker 1: a good spot because the Jacks could totally lay in
- 34:17Speaker 1: negg here. We we just talked about there coming off
- 34:19Speaker 1: one of the biggest wins, and I don't even know
- 34:22Speaker 1: at least since Blake Mortles was there and he took
- 34:24Speaker 1: an NFC championship game. That was a moment that ownership,
- 34:27Speaker 1: front office, all of them have dreamt about of their
- 34:30Speaker 1: first overall pick. Came back at home and a huge game,
- 34:33Speaker 1: got a whole fan based route up, and it's got
- 34:36Speaker 1: all of us pros route up, like I don't get
- 34:39Speaker 1: this number at all. When I when I really honestly
- 34:41Speaker 1: put this number in my mouth, I wasn't all right seven,
- 34:43Speaker 1: which yes I would. I am half a point at
- 34:46Speaker 1: least to me, I'd be undervaluing the Chiefs just because
- 34:49Speaker 1: talking about the time they protect against teasers in the playoffs.
- 34:52Speaker 1: We saw it last week the Bengals Bills Chiefs. That
- 34:56Speaker 1: was like the ultimate chalk teaser. The bank showed a loss.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I mean, even me and she had talked about all
- 35:02Speaker 1: the time that that's even that teaser a breakers. So
- 35:04Speaker 1: that's why the books don't mind giving. They're like, yeah,
- 35:06Speaker 1: go ahead, throw a little three team. Ten point teas
- 35:08Speaker 1: are together of those teams because they know the math
- 35:11Speaker 1: works at over time. That's one of those teams is
- 35:13Speaker 1: gonna get caught. Like That's just how it is in
- 35:14Speaker 1: wild card weekend. The divisional weekend, it's way higher. I
- 35:18Speaker 1: told you the return on investment of betting these dogs,
- 35:21Speaker 1: especially these big dogs, it is very profitable in divisional round.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Chattery told you that the one seed historically, especially one
- 35:28Speaker 1: seeds out of above and eight percent win percentage, they
- 35:31Speaker 1: cover a lesson clip. So right there, that's why the
- 35:34Speaker 1: guys are kind of blindly fading the Eagles. They're blindly
- 35:37Speaker 1: fading the Bills, and they're blindly fading the Chiefs here
- 35:40Speaker 1: this week. Just because of those trends of these teams
- 35:43Speaker 1: are really high win percentages, usually underperformed in the playoffs
- 35:46Speaker 1: because the public is perception, right. We saw last week
- 35:49Speaker 1: with that Ravens again, that line was bumped up two
- 35:50Speaker 1: points just because everyone's all over Joe Burrow, on the
- 35:53Speaker 1: hype of Joe Burrow and that Cincinnati team, Like you know,
- 35:56Speaker 1: he was going up against a backup quarterback. They're gonna
- 35:59Speaker 1: steam that line up. We're me and you talked about
- 36:01Speaker 1: We're That's why we found Valley. We're not backing the
- 36:04Speaker 1: Ravens because of the quarterback. We're back in them because
- 36:06Speaker 1: of that defense. So it's the same thing with Jackson.
- 36:08Speaker 1: It's like I want to back the Chiefs, but we've
- 36:12Speaker 1: seen it time and time again. This team let these
- 36:15Speaker 1: teams back in it. So Chatt, I might be walking
- 36:18Speaker 1: into it, but there's no way of us avoiding it.
- 36:20Speaker 1: We love this Jaguars team and we're getting a great number,
- 36:22Speaker 1: a key number two at eight and a half nine
- 36:24Speaker 1: at some books. Um, I love it. But like looking
- 36:29Speaker 1: looking at this game and why I look at it,
- 36:30Speaker 1: I just I'm dreading it because it's like this ain't
- 36:34Speaker 1: no Herbert and Stanley. This is and your Reid and
- 36:37Speaker 1: my homes. This is a team that they've been to
- 36:38Speaker 1: the conference championship now four straight years or maybe it's
- 36:41Speaker 1: three years, and if they go this year before straight years,
- 36:43Speaker 1: they're just if they go this year, it will be
- 36:45Speaker 1: five five straight years. That's right, Like that's insane. So
- 36:50Speaker 1: I I wish I could come in here and puff
- 36:54Speaker 1: my chest out and uh which was about to clip
- 36:57Speaker 1: play the clip and just be like you took the
- 37:00Speaker 1: Jags Morne line, Jags upset this is destiny. This is
- 37:03Speaker 1: the Jaguars team. All right, listen, Duvall, they're doing it again.
- 37:07Speaker 1: They're counting your out. You are an afterthought. They're already
- 37:11Speaker 1: booking a dream matchup with the Chiefs and the Bills
- 37:14Speaker 1: in the a f C title. Get they're overlooking you.
- 37:17Speaker 1: But here's what they're overlooking, the upset minded spirit of
- 37:21Speaker 1: Duval County. Years ago, blank portals and the Jags knocked
- 37:24Speaker 1: off the bunted Steelers in Pittsburgh. Now you're counting out
- 37:28Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence against the defense that is given up thirty
- 37:31Speaker 1: three touchdown passes this year. That's more that the Titans
- 37:35Speaker 1: have given up. So I love me, hear you say,
- 37:37Speaker 1: do let's go. It's just hard to do against my
- 37:42Speaker 1: homes where I saw him dead, Like the Bills shot
- 37:45Speaker 1: him twice in the head last year. He was dead
- 37:48Speaker 1: and in seven seconds he got down the field and
- 37:50Speaker 1: kicked the field goal. So I just it's hard for
- 37:53Speaker 1: me to tell people to take the money line. But
- 37:56Speaker 1: I just I have to take this eight and a
- 37:57Speaker 1: half of the Jags team. But I will tell you
- 38:00Speaker 1: I don't think that's the best bet in the game.
- 38:01Speaker 1: The best bet in the game is the under. It's
- 38:04Speaker 1: the best bet for what we what we need to
- 38:06Speaker 1: happen to cover the Jags game, which is the Jacks
- 38:10Speaker 1: will slow the game down, really dreaded out and my
- 38:13Speaker 1: homes to be off killed because of that where he's
- 38:15Speaker 1: not getting enough reps and touches, where he feels off
- 38:17Speaker 1: balance after a buy a weekend, he doesn't have his
- 38:20Speaker 1: mom's games. So, um, yeah, if if that ends up
- 38:24Speaker 1: being our biggest bet in this game, if I if
- 38:25Speaker 1: I end up betting more on the under, I would
- 38:27Speaker 1: not be shocked. And I just said the trends back
- 38:29Speaker 1: it in our game script what we plan on happen
- 38:32Speaker 1: in this game. Also, that really realies heavily on the
- 38:35Speaker 1: under because if this game is going way over, I
- 38:37Speaker 1: just I think it would be tough for us to
- 38:39Speaker 1: uh cover this number, just because you don't want an
- 38:41Speaker 1: arms race between these two offenses. Yep, totally true. Um,
- 38:47Speaker 1: we like the Jags. I love the under. U. I
- 38:51Speaker 1: think it's just the way you gotta go. But you
- 38:53Speaker 1: do have to bet the Jacks. You gotta bet the Jacks. Um,
- 38:56Speaker 1: that's what we do. We do ugly things here. I
- 39:01Speaker 1: don't like it. Last week and of four games. Four games.
- 39:08Speaker 1: I miss it already. I was thinking about that because
- 39:11Speaker 1: I was making some notes this morning. What am I
- 39:14Speaker 1: gonna do next Saturday? Just talk to people and do
- 39:17Speaker 1: normal things again, not watch football. No, you're gonna tell
- 39:20Speaker 1: people there's a game. Hopefully the people you hang out
- 39:22Speaker 1: with don't know that I'm saying Saturday. Yeah, Hopefully the
- 39:25Speaker 1: people you hang out with don't know and aren't following
- 39:28Speaker 1: the season and don't realize that. You could just keep
- 39:31Speaker 1: telling like infinitely. Oh yeah, they playoffs. There's game Saturday
- 39:35Speaker 1: and Sunday until the middle of March. Um. Alright, let's
- 39:40Speaker 1: talk about the next game on the schedule. We've gone
- 39:42Speaker 1: through the Giants and the Egos. We've gone through the
- 39:45Speaker 1: Jags and the Chiefs. Uh, Cincinnati and Buffalo. Um, we
- 39:50Speaker 1: love Buffalo here by the way. In the luck rankings
- 39:54Speaker 1: from wild Card weekend, Cincinnati number one, Dallas number two,
- 40:00Speaker 1: you Jacksonville number three. Look, Cincinnati down three starters on
- 40:05Speaker 1: the offensive line. Bills have a deep past, deep defensive
- 40:10Speaker 1: line top ten and pressure rate. Cincinnati also binged up
- 40:14Speaker 1: in the secondary. Now you look at how the Bills
- 40:16Speaker 1: played against Miami. They played terribly against a backup quarterback,
- 40:22Speaker 1: and that team with a backup quarterback card every bad
- 40:26Speaker 1: break and the Bills still won Cincinnati against the backup
- 40:31Speaker 1: quarterback had only two and thirty four yards of offense
- 40:34Speaker 1: and was totally outplayed and only one because of a
- 40:38Speaker 1: miraculous yard return. Bills. You make me want to shout
- 40:48Speaker 1: wanna the camp flo pros. I have talked to you
- 40:53Speaker 1: that are on the Bengals. They're honestly thrown out everything
- 40:56Speaker 1: that thrown out trans throwing out all models, and they're
- 40:58Speaker 1: just saying, this is were you back Joe Brow when
- 41:01Speaker 1: no one believes in them? When everyone's getting off Joe this,
- 41:03Speaker 1: when you're back them? I said to them, he's still
- 41:05Speaker 1: getting all the tickets. The public is right there with you.
- 41:07Speaker 1: They all believe in them. They're all taking the stumber
- 41:09Speaker 1: just like you are. I feel like everyone's not believing
- 41:11Speaker 1: this Bills team. I think they're not overreacting to last week,
- 41:18Speaker 1: but a little bit of it right where it's like, yeah,
- 41:21Speaker 1: like how do they how do they play so bad
- 41:22Speaker 1: against the Miami team that's playing backups and as a
- 41:25Speaker 1: bunch of injuries across the board, and they had injuries
- 41:26Speaker 1: for offensive line that injuries to their defense Miami. Um,
- 41:30Speaker 1: did Miami simply get overlooked by the Bills? Will never know?
- 41:33Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's obviously the human part of it.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Where yeah, sure, when they were about to be up
- 41:38Speaker 1: twenty one nothing or whatever was seventeen nothing the Bills
- 41:41Speaker 1: maybe they took a little bit off the gas and
- 41:43Speaker 1: they got punished for that. Where that became way closer
- 41:45Speaker 1: the game, and once that had started happening, we kind
- 41:48Speaker 1: of saw it spinning there with like every little play
- 41:50Speaker 1: with Josh Allen felt like way harder than when the
- 41:52Speaker 1: start of the game. It just all looks so easy
- 41:54Speaker 1: to this Bills team. So matchup wise, I didn't. We
- 42:00Speaker 1: talked about I did not get this number when it opened, right,
- 42:02Speaker 1: There's a couple of books opened six and a half
- 42:03Speaker 1: and I was like, yikes, that is a horrible number.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Immediately bet since um because again, no one can run
- 42:09Speaker 1: a model that quick Sunday night, so bets since wake
- 42:13Speaker 1: up Sunday morning, it was already down or Monday morning
- 42:16Speaker 1: it was down to four and four and a half UM,
- 42:19Speaker 1: which made perfect sense. Then by Monday afternoon it was
- 42:23Speaker 1: down to three and a half, which again that's that
- 42:26Speaker 1: means like real pro money is coming on the since team.
- 42:29Speaker 1: And then by Tuesday whatever, two in the morning, you
- 42:33Speaker 1: saw it completely flip. You saw it already already started
- 42:35Speaker 1: going up to four or four, and alfter a couple
- 42:37Speaker 1: of books Chat I do, our show, The Day Goes by,
- 42:40Speaker 1: We Coming Today is now up through five and a half,
- 42:42Speaker 1: and almost every book there's a there's a one five
- 42:45Speaker 1: I can see right now in the app that's left
- 42:46Speaker 1: out there in sort of books. So I'm not shocked
- 42:50Speaker 1: how heavy the pros have come in. I am more
- 42:52Speaker 1: shocked the amount of money they're betting on the Bills.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Where I have my reservations because what I just talked about,
- 42:58Speaker 1: this Bill's defense has not right in a long time.
- 43:01Speaker 1: They've been giving up chunkyard, especially on the ground. Josh
- 43:04Speaker 1: Allen since the DeBow injury has not looked right. I mean,
- 43:06Speaker 1: the guy I was leading the league and um interceptions
- 43:11Speaker 1: until luckily Dak Prescott came back from injury and just
- 43:13Speaker 1: ran away with it. But there's been a lot of
- 43:15Speaker 1: questions with this Bill's team. Last year, there was no
- 43:19Speaker 1: there were none of those questions last year. They really
- 43:21Speaker 1: felt like that team where they had all everything going,
- 43:23Speaker 1: where this year. They do have questions, and I get
- 43:25Speaker 1: why the public is going in on since You because
- 43:28Speaker 1: of those questions. But me and Chad, we're just playing
- 43:30Speaker 1: a number here, and to us, this number should be
- 43:32Speaker 1: closer to six what it's about to get to. That
- 43:35Speaker 1: makes sense because of all the injuries to the offensive
- 43:37Speaker 1: line with since You where, yeah, Joe might be able
- 43:39Speaker 1: to have his moments like he did last year in
- 43:41Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I get why the pros are saying, well,
- 43:43Speaker 1: any anytime Joe's bigger dog than three, it's worked out
- 43:46Speaker 1: for me. So I'm gonna take it here because he
- 43:48Speaker 1: just plays teams close, So I get where they're coming from.
- 43:52Speaker 1: I just love this Bill's matchup so much because of
- 43:55Speaker 1: what we talked about, just the undervalue of them and
- 43:58Speaker 1: they we January kind of talked about. But the problems
- 44:03Speaker 1: they have this week already said they can fix those
- 44:05Speaker 1: problems these since the issues they can't fix it like this.
- 44:08Speaker 1: They have all these backups now on the offensive line,
- 44:10Speaker 1: that's major issues. When they have different call signs, all
- 44:12Speaker 1: these protection schemes, that's a big deal to this Bengals team. Now,
- 44:16Speaker 1: I know their front is nowhere near as good as
- 44:17Speaker 1: the Ravens front, but they still have all pros, especially
- 44:20Speaker 1: in the linebacker position on this Buffalo team, where I
- 44:22Speaker 1: know they're gonna be able to schemes to McDermott. To me,
- 44:25Speaker 1: he's one of the best defensive schemers in the game.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Like he is just a genius when it comes to
- 44:30Speaker 1: scheming up stuff defensively. And that's why the Bills since
- 44:32Speaker 1: he's been there, historically been a top five defense. Not
- 44:35Speaker 1: d v O A, not just dv O A, but
- 44:37Speaker 1: other statistics back then. So yeah, I I can't get
- 44:41Speaker 1: out of my way chat on this one. Um loved
- 44:43Speaker 1: the Bills obviously. I mean you always like in the
- 44:46Speaker 1: best of number side. I wish it's stayed at four
- 44:47Speaker 1: and a half. Four that was just a really nice
- 44:49Speaker 1: key number. But I already talked about if you can
- 44:52Speaker 1: get if you haven't gotten it, I'm still making bets
- 44:54Speaker 1: of five and a half just because I think it
- 44:56Speaker 1: will eventually get the six. We'll see. I mean, it's
- 45:00Speaker 1: doesn't touched six in any book yet, but it's it's
- 45:02Speaker 1: holding right now five and a half. So maybe that's
- 45:04Speaker 1: the resistance line of as soon as they touched six
- 45:06Speaker 1: the pros, I guess come in heavy on the other side,
- 45:08Speaker 1: But to me, I would take this up to five
- 45:11Speaker 1: and a half of this Bills team. Um, what sticks
- 45:17Speaker 1: out to me is that anytime Joe Burrow dropped back
- 45:20Speaker 1: at the end of that Bengals Ravens game, he was
- 45:25Speaker 1: cratering like just had no turn in his lap. And
- 45:28Speaker 1: like this Bills team doesn't need to blitz to get
- 45:31Speaker 1: that kind of pressure that the line can do it
- 45:34Speaker 1: all on its own. So, uh, you know, the Bills
- 45:38Speaker 1: are are a good spot here. The last game, I
- 45:41Speaker 1: wouldn't say we like divisional round and the upset here,
- 45:45Speaker 1: no one be shocked, like we've seen it all year
- 45:47Speaker 1: where every team has red zones struggles. Do we know
- 45:50Speaker 1: what weeks and what games that's going to be for
- 45:52Speaker 1: certain teams? No, that's impossible to know since that is
- 45:55Speaker 1: their strength all year. Like surprisingly, as great as their
- 45:58Speaker 1: offensive played and Joe Burrow gets all the accolades if
- 46:00Speaker 1: you go through it, a lot of the games, was
- 46:03Speaker 1: their defense really picking up the slacking of that offense,
- 46:06Speaker 1: especially earlier in the season when they were just off
- 46:08Speaker 1: such a rough start. So since see, if they didn't
- 46:10Speaker 1: have all these injuries, I would love them here, Like
- 46:13Speaker 1: to me, this would be a no brain, especially the
- 46:14Speaker 1: way the Bills have played this year, that you have
- 46:17Speaker 1: to account for all these injuries. They have to they
- 46:19Speaker 1: have to catch up to him at some point, and
- 46:20Speaker 1: that's what I think it do. I just think the
- 46:22Speaker 1: Bills are too good for a team to be this
- 46:24Speaker 1: banged up to comment and cover this number, especially when
- 46:26Speaker 1: the Bills are at home in this position. Last Give
- 46:29Speaker 1: of the Day, Cowboys visiting the Niners. Uh, we talked
- 46:33Speaker 1: about it a little bit on Tuesday. We settled on
- 46:36Speaker 1: the under being the bet that we liked the most.
- 46:38Speaker 1: It was at forty six and a half. I think
- 46:40Speaker 1: now it's down to um, you leaned Niners. I didn't
- 46:47Speaker 1: have a huge feeling about it yet wise guys coming
- 46:50Speaker 1: in hard on the Cowboys. This line has moved down
- 46:54Speaker 1: from four to three and a half. Yeah, I mean
- 46:58Speaker 1: we'll talk about because I'm just I've been in decisive
- 47:01Speaker 1: about where I took when I touched three and a
- 47:03Speaker 1: half when we came in whenever that was Tuesday morning,
- 47:05Speaker 1: I made it two bets, um, two different books on
- 47:08Speaker 1: the number, just because I was like, okay, this is
- 47:11Speaker 1: this is this Maybe this has moved too far at
- 47:12Speaker 1: this point, this is way too much renover reaction till
- 47:14Speaker 1: last week with the Cowboys. Um. But then once again
- 47:18Speaker 1: it's like, all right, maybe I shouldn't be maybe I
- 47:23Speaker 1: shouldn't be so down the Cowboys in the sense that
- 47:25Speaker 1: their struggles during the season, obviously they're not gonna supply
- 47:28Speaker 1: on the correct all those struggles. But it's more about
- 47:31Speaker 1: the Four Nins. Who the hell have they played? And
- 47:34Speaker 1: that's what I keep going back to. Where and when
- 47:36Speaker 1: I look at this Four Nights team, I think they
- 47:38Speaker 1: were incredibly lucky to be the division they're in where.
- 47:41Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, like, who was our top
- 47:43Speaker 1: competition that division? Geno Smith, the team they dominated twice
- 47:46Speaker 1: when they played them, They're just there was nothing in
- 47:49Speaker 1: that division. And then I look through it, it turns out, okay,
- 47:52Speaker 1: the financially did not play anyone. So they played two
- 47:55Speaker 1: teams that had a positive point differential. You know, those
- 47:58Speaker 1: two teams were chat like two teams all season. There
- 48:03Speaker 1: was a Seahawks at plus nine and it was the
- 48:06Speaker 1: Chiefs at plus What happened when they played the Chiefs,
- 48:12Speaker 1: I can't remember that game. They got smoked. I think
- 48:14Speaker 1: they lost like forty forty two to say they got
- 48:19Speaker 1: absolutely smoked. Um, do I think their defense is as
- 48:23Speaker 1: bad as they were in that Chiefs game? No, I
- 48:25Speaker 1: do not. But do I think there had major weaknesses
- 48:28Speaker 1: that once they faced a good offense and offense canna exploit.
- 48:31Speaker 1: I do. And I think that you're gonna get a
- 48:33Speaker 1: match up here with this Dallas team that if Dallas
- 48:36Speaker 1: is smart, they will literally give the fernand Is their
- 48:40Speaker 1: own medicine, which is you basically just gonna bleed the
- 48:43Speaker 1: clock and make it that Purty is just uncomfortable. Pretty
- 48:46Speaker 1: we've seen the time thanking. If you go back to
- 48:47Speaker 1: watch this film, unless he gets in a rhythm, he's
- 48:50Speaker 1: out of sorts. Like That's why they run so much
- 48:53Speaker 1: and give him so many play action things, because Shanahan
- 48:55Speaker 1: is literally like, Okay, I got a rookie kid here,
- 48:57Speaker 1: let me just get him some easy throats he can
- 48:59Speaker 1: live to watch and throw and see a guy catch,
- 49:02Speaker 1: just to get him comfortable and get him into a
- 49:04Speaker 1: good zone. When he doesn't get that, when he's just
- 49:06Speaker 1: uncom from the get go, he mightily struggles. And I
- 49:10Speaker 1: just love like the more I study on this team,
- 49:12Speaker 1: It's just I love the matchup, not only for the
- 49:15Speaker 1: Cowboys d line, but further offense. I just like the
- 49:18Speaker 1: way they can be able to spread teams out. I
- 49:21Speaker 1: have no idea what they're gonna do a Zeke. Their
- 49:23Speaker 1: coaching staffs not dumb. Zeke has really fallen off a
- 49:25Speaker 1: cliff here. These this last year. Pollard, since he's come
- 49:28Speaker 1: back from his injuries, looked better every week. This is
- 49:31Speaker 1: his dream matchup. This is kind of matchup where you
- 49:33Speaker 1: really would use Pollard. Where you look at that Chief's matchup,
- 49:36Speaker 1: it sounds crazy that whole match was based off their
- 49:39Speaker 1: running backs. Yes, Mahomes did a lot of stuff with
- 49:41Speaker 1: the receivers, but he was literally using his running backs
- 49:44Speaker 1: against their linebackers. So say, uh Fred's calling up a
- 49:48Speaker 1: blitz scheme for the linebackers. They're gonna send a guy
- 49:50Speaker 1: from the right side. Moments would shifts running back to
- 49:53Speaker 1: that right side and literally just dump off to it.
- 49:56Speaker 1: And it sounds stupid. They did that the whole game,
- 49:58Speaker 1: a throw or four years off Olens and it worked.
- 50:01Speaker 1: I mean, comes second half, the four were exhausted, their
- 50:04Speaker 1: linebackers were exhausted from running sidle into sideline. I think
- 50:07Speaker 1: Dallas will do the same thing here and I see
- 50:09Speaker 1: why the pros are coming into heavy ones because I
- 50:11Speaker 1: didn't like this. To me, this was just a smart under.
- 50:14Speaker 1: I could see Dak Lane an egg and I could
- 50:15Speaker 1: see pretty landing egg and this being a twenty to
- 50:18Speaker 1: ten fourteen just grinded out battle between two teams um
- 50:23Speaker 1: that have incredible D lines. Now, the pros, all these
- 50:27Speaker 1: pros I talked to, they're just they're just they're the
- 50:29Speaker 1: ones that were like, you have to go back and
- 50:31Speaker 1: watch that Chiefs take because they're just loving this Cowboys
- 50:33Speaker 1: offense matchup wise against this FOURTS defense. So, um, this
- 50:38Speaker 1: won't be one of my biggest bets of the weekend.
- 50:39Speaker 1: I can tell you this. Really smart groups have put
- 50:43Speaker 1: well into seven figures at this point on the four,
- 50:45Speaker 1: the four and a half and the three and a
- 50:47Speaker 1: half of this Cowboys team. So to me, I think
- 50:51Speaker 1: we'll eventually see some forts money coming in because I
- 50:53Speaker 1: know some pros that they're the ones that have pushed
- 50:55Speaker 1: this is up so high, and they're the ones that
- 50:58Speaker 1: they think they're the team of destiny, not the Eagles,
- 51:00Speaker 1: not the Cowboys on the Giants. They're the ones who
- 51:02Speaker 1: have been betting Purty and its four futures for a
- 51:06Speaker 1: month now, like they've just been drinking the kool aid
- 51:08Speaker 1: and it's been good to them. This team has been
- 51:10Speaker 1: covering and they've been winning these big spreads. So I
- 51:14Speaker 1: get where they're coming from. I get the love of purty.
- 51:17Speaker 1: I just look at the film and I'm like, this
- 51:18Speaker 1: guy has been very lucky and he's been playing against
- 51:20Speaker 1: very weak competition. So we're about to learn a lot
- 51:23Speaker 1: about them. I mean Shannon and we talked at him.
- 51:25Speaker 1: He's a great schemer. What's his biggest weakness? As biggest
- 51:28Speaker 1: weakness when he gets a lead heading to the fourth quarter.
- 51:30Speaker 1: So at no point with me, chat we're taking this
- 51:32Speaker 1: three and a half. Am I gonna be sweating this
- 51:34Speaker 1: unless they're getting blown out, obviously, then we're dead. We're
- 51:36Speaker 1: dead in the water with Dallas. But if say Dallas
- 51:39Speaker 1: is downten heading into the fourth quarter, I'm honestly not
- 51:43Speaker 1: that scared. Me and Chad are touchdown away from covering
- 51:45Speaker 1: this three and a half. So I'm with the pros.
- 51:47Speaker 1: I believe this is a good number. My biggest bets
- 51:49Speaker 1: gonna still be the under UM. I'm still grab it
- 51:52Speaker 1: now before it goes down below UM. But if you
- 51:55Speaker 1: already got the forty six and a half or forty six,
- 51:58Speaker 1: just wait, it could it could get better up again.
- 52:00Speaker 1: But to me, I think pros will keep taking this
- 52:02Speaker 1: under as well. Yeah, I think that a lot of
- 52:06Speaker 1: pros have this game power rated at our own four.
- 52:11Speaker 1: So I think that's why we were seeing the number
- 52:14Speaker 1: move And that narrative about who has brought pretty really
- 52:17Speaker 1: faced has become very real this week, you know, with
- 52:22Speaker 1: with less games to analyze and the ability to spend
- 52:25Speaker 1: more time on each individual game, this has become a
- 52:28Speaker 1: real conversation. Uh. And in the flip side, the way
- 52:33Speaker 1: people are thinking about the Cowboys, you know, you can
- 52:36Speaker 1: have negative biases just the way say, the same way
- 52:38Speaker 1: you can self scout against positive biases, you can self
- 52:42Speaker 1: scout against negative biases. Uh. And people saw something against
- 52:46Speaker 1: the Bucks. So I mean we still have all our
- 52:48Speaker 1: question marks about that Adack. I mean, Dak that doesn't
- 52:51Speaker 1: just get thrown out in one game like Dac. He's
- 52:53Speaker 1: had major issues this year. And am I going to
- 52:58Speaker 1: feel like an idiot taken back against grade at number
- 53:00Speaker 1: one defensive football if we get totally destroyed here? Of course,
- 53:04Speaker 1: But like Jettis talked, about we're trying to we're trying
- 53:06Speaker 1: to play a number here, and I'm not taking anything
- 53:08Speaker 1: way from Pretty. I mean Pretty. To me, he deserves,
- 53:11Speaker 1: in my opinion, to be the starter next season heading
- 53:13Speaker 1: into the camp and him and Trailians can battle it out,
- 53:15Speaker 1: and obviously Shannon will give the winner to that. But
- 53:18Speaker 1: to me, you have to respect Pretty. He's made all
- 53:20Speaker 1: the places, he's made, all the throws. They've had games
- 53:23Speaker 1: during this run, they've been down and it wasn't McCaffrey
- 53:26Speaker 1: or whatever bringing them back. It was Pretty making these
- 53:29Speaker 1: big time throws. So I'm trying to be so negative
- 53:31Speaker 1: and take anything away from the kid. I'm just simply
- 53:34Speaker 1: staying facts of this team really has not played anyone.
- 53:38Speaker 1: The fort simply have not played offensively anyone really that's
- 53:42Speaker 1: worth talking about. Like they just they've had a nice run.
- 53:45Speaker 1: They are a very good defense. We saw those holes
- 53:49Speaker 1: in their secondary, I mean that was there. Like DK
- 53:52Speaker 1: Metcalf had a really good game against him for that
- 53:54Speaker 1: Seahawks team. So that's why I completely understand where these
- 53:57Speaker 1: pros are coming from. Believing in this offense of Dak
- 54:00Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and these cowboy guys gonna move the ball
- 54:02Speaker 1: get to four. I've seen that once again. They have
- 54:05Speaker 1: faced only one top three or top five offense this season.
- 54:08Speaker 1: So I am interested to see how this game plays
- 54:10Speaker 1: out right now because I wasn't. I did not like
- 54:14Speaker 1: the Cowboys coming into it. I thought the public are
- 54:16Speaker 1: reacted to it, and it's my opinions really turned with
- 54:18Speaker 1: the amount of pros and how they've talked about this
- 54:20Speaker 1: Dallas team. Yep, totally has all right, let's recap. Simon says,
- 54:25Speaker 1: was the nine miners Cowboys under forty six and a half.
- 54:29Speaker 1: Keep trying to get it at forty six if you
- 54:30Speaker 1: can fox hole Bills minus four and a half. Definitely
- 54:33Speaker 1: feels like we fox hold that one. Exact decision Chiefs
- 54:36Speaker 1: Jags under fifty three, fifty two and a half. Our
- 54:39Speaker 1: big balls is going to be the Eagles minus seven
- 54:41Speaker 1: and a half. Let's hold off and see if you
- 54:46Speaker 1: know it's moved. Yeah, it's same se of the Cowboys,
- 54:48Speaker 1: Like if you can find a four with the Cowboys,
- 54:50Speaker 1: that's the movie. You just want to grab the best
- 54:52Speaker 1: number you can. So Sam, Cowboys grabbed the four. If
- 54:54Speaker 1: you can. Eagles, me and Chad where you talking? We're
- 54:56Speaker 1: gonna wait for the seven. If you're like me and
- 54:59Speaker 1: you can't wait any long here, I would just bite
- 55:01Speaker 1: the bullet. Grab a seven and a half. All right,
