Latest / Nate's Daily Wager / Nate's NFL Week 18 Wager with Cousin Vinny and The Gaffer
Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Natey's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20January 5th, 2025. Got it right on the first try
- 0:25today but didn't get it right on the first try yesterday.
- 0:30Talking about the date and the pick and my wager.
- 0:33Man, that that hook, that hook will get you.
- 0:37Man, I was looking good cruising most of the way, and then that
- 0:41late surge by Pittsburgh at the end and then that field goal for
- 0:46no reason other than to job me out of getting my wager.
- 0:50I'm sure there were plenty of other people on the other side
- 0:52that were all happy they got there because they win with the
- 0:55hook. I died by the hook.
- 0:57But anyways, all right, today we got some more Football Week 18,
- 1:03whole bunch of games that don't matter.
- 1:04Nothing to nobody except for players trying to keep jobs or
- 1:09coaches trying to keep jobs or owners trying to convince people
- 1:14they're trying to win when they're actually trying to lose
- 1:16because they want a better draft position.
- 1:18But so there's a whole lot of nothing and fakery going out
- 1:22there today. And but one game that I like
- 1:25that I'm looking at today is this Washington and Dallas game.
- 1:30Now I don't know who's going to win.
- 1:32I mean, Dallas has been bad. Washington has won a lot of
- 1:35games by the skin of their teeth.
- 1:37And but you know, who knows? However, one thing I do know is
- 1:41these teams like to give up points and they like to give up
- 1:43points late. Total currently is sitting at 44
- 1:461/2, which is right in that golden zone of do I go take the
- 1:50over? Do I take the under?
- 1:51I like the over when it's over 44 here, it's 44 1/2.
- 1:55Now these teams, like I said, they like to give up points and
- 1:58they like to give up points late.
- 1:59So I feel like this is never going to be out of hand.
- 2:03This is never going to be out of the potentiality of hitting that
- 2:06over no matter what happens. So the likes, you know, Dallas
- 2:10is going to try not to lose 7 at home.
- 2:12And I think Washington is working on and make sure that
- 2:16they do win so that they can get a better positioning for the
- 2:20playoffs so that they don't end up at Philly.
- 2:23So I think there's going to be some scoring and I think that's
- 2:26where we're ended up. So we're going to go over 44 1/2
- 2:30total points between the Washington Football team and the
- 2:35Dallas Cowboy team. See anything better than that?
- 2:38Pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:40to it. And I know Vinny's got something
- 2:43for you because he's cooking up something for trying to get to
- 2:4613 and five on the season, which is amazing.
- 2:49And I, I think there's like one important game I think in EPL
- 2:53today. So gaffer might be around as
- 2:55well. Boys, what you got?
- 2:59Ladies and gentlemen, English Premier League on Sundays is
- 3:02back. We've got a game right now.
- 3:05Fulham is actually losing to this other squad named Ipswich
- 3:10Town or something. One nil, some guy named Smedging
- 3:13his score. But again, as everybody knows
- 3:16out there, you listen to Coles and Vinny, you listen to Nates,
- 3:20Davey, Waitro and the gaffers got you on the soccer matches,
- 3:23on the football and man, do we got a big game.
- 3:26Later on, we got Liverpool all man, those Reds, first place
- 3:30against those struggling. Oh my gosh, those guys in 14th
- 3:34place, Manchester United, the Red.
- 3:35Devils. Playing really bad.
- 3:37They're not going to get it done today.
- 3:40Liverpools gotten going to get the three points once again,
- 3:44Gaffer told you last couple of weeks they've been on a roll,
- 3:46they've been on fire. You've been making money, making
- 3:48picks. Like gaffers telling you do it
- 3:50again, Liverpool with another three points.
- 3:52Good luck, You're going to need. It you called mini, I'm back for
- 3:57the final week of NFL season, Week 18, final week of 2024.
- 4:02I'm sitting at 12:00 and 5:00 right now.
- 4:04In a year looking the round, outgoing 13 and five on the NFL
- 4:09season here. Look at the slate of games.
- 4:11There's a lot of games that just don't matter.
- 4:13A lot of games of backups in. And really, there really is one
- 4:16game that matters this week. And then it's a Sunday Night
- 4:19Football game against the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota
- 4:22Vikings. Minnesota's traveling to Detroit
- 4:24and everything on the line first place and then C is on the line
- 4:28the first week buy is on the line and Minnesota has been
- 4:32trending hot. I think they have nine straight
- 4:34victories going on right now and the Troy has been the top dog
- 4:38all year and they've been 100 all year and they've been able
- 4:40to hang on. So everything's on the line
- 4:42here. Everyone will be watching.
- 4:43So let's put some action on this game now for who wins this game
- 4:48is really is a coin toss cause of any of those two things.
- 4:52That is one, it is going to be a tight game and two, a lot of
- 4:55points will be scored. I really like the over on this
- 4:58one, but there's been a ton of movement on the over at up to 56
- 5:02now after opening up at 52. So Cousin Vinny said, wait a
- 5:06second, I have not used a teaser yet this weekend break in case
- 5:09of emergency Cousin Vinny teaser and it is that time in week 18.
- 5:13So what are we going to do? One, we are going to tease the
- 5:18over under down from 56 to 50 points and then we're going to
- 5:23tease the Minnesota Vikings up to nine points, right?
- 5:28So there are two things I just know are going to happen.
- 5:30It's going to be a close game. Minnesota will be well within 9.
- 5:34Even if they were to fall behind early, I feel like they're going
- 5:36to make a push to come back late.
- 5:38Detroit has not had a knack for stopping teams making a late
- 5:41game surge in the fourth quarter and I expected Minnesota to do
- 5:45that if they are down and vice versa of Detroit if they are
- 5:49down. I wouldn't be surprised if this
- 5:51over under actually hits it in the third quarter.
- 5:54I think we're just padding it at this point, pushing it down from
- 5:5756 to 50. Love the over here 2 track meet
- 6:00teams going head to head last game of the season, last night
- 6:04of the season with first place on the line.
- 6:07Go with the teaser and round out your season with Cousin Vinny at
- 6:1013 and five and we'll see you in the playoffs and until then,
- 6:15Cousin Vinny with your luck of the week.
