- 0:33Speaker 1: podcast today. I'm gonna be joined as I am every
- 0:37Speaker 1: time we do this show by my bff, my companion,
- 0:40Speaker 1: my compadre. He's in the foxhole with me. He walks
- 0:45Speaker 1: into hornets nests in protective gear. He's triple vexed professional
- 0:51Speaker 1: better Simon Hunter. Before we came on here, Cam Newton
- 0:55Speaker 1: to the Carolina Panthers, what do you what do you
- 0:57Speaker 1: think of that? Is that a real signing? Is this real? Dude?
- 1:00Speaker 1: Is that serious? We we did not talk about this
- 1:02Speaker 1: before we came on the air. No I saw right
- 1:05Speaker 1: before we hopped on on social media. Cam Newton apparently
- 1:08Speaker 1: got vaccinated. So now teams are interviewing the Carolina Panthers.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Time is a flat circle. That would be crazy.
- 1:14Speaker 1: If you actually signed there, that would be nuts. I
- 1:16Speaker 1: don't know that it would do anything Honestly, if I
- 1:20Speaker 1: were the Panthers, I'd still probably start p J. Walker
- 1:25Speaker 1: this weekend. But yeah, and now he's definitely starting this week.
- 1:28Speaker 1: But I think next week they play Washington. So it's
- 1:30Speaker 1: it's just interesting all day from matchups. Big show today.
- 1:34Speaker 1: It's Thursday, so we're gonna narrow down the field, talk
- 1:37Speaker 1: about the games that on Tuesday we loved, see anything
- 1:41Speaker 1: that might have changed our minds. Um, based on the market, news,
- 1:44Speaker 1: based on injuries, based on prices changing. We're gonna do
- 1:48Speaker 1: our sharp calls. We're gonna see who the wise guys
- 1:51Speaker 1: called you about that they thought we were right or
- 1:53Speaker 1: wrong on since Tuesday. Um, we will do our big
- 1:57Speaker 1: balls better the week. Reminder, on Tuesday we said Washington
- 2:01Speaker 1: football team plus nine and a half against the Bucks
- 2:03Speaker 1: was our sign and says our foxhold was the Saints
- 2:06Speaker 1: plus three. It's already down to two and a half.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So we're not the only ones with that idea. We
- 2:10Speaker 1: will still do a money line partly, but we'll also
- 2:13Speaker 1: still offer a survivor pick. I got a lot of
- 2:15Speaker 1: feedback that, yeah, our survivor pick would say, people people
- 2:19Speaker 1: really want to survivra pick chat about it. So we'll
- 2:24Speaker 1: talk about who we would take if we were still
- 2:26Speaker 1: in it, based on the teams that we would have remaining.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I think we know who that's going to be. I'm
- 2:30Speaker 1: gonna keep track of it. So right now, we're gonna
- 2:33Speaker 1: count last week as if we took Miami instead of
- 2:35Speaker 1: taking what we did take in Dallas, so be as
- 2:38Speaker 1: if we did win. That's nice. We can live in
- 2:41Speaker 1: that alternate universe. But first let's get to it. Sharp calls, baby, Hello,
- 2:50Speaker 1: who's there. I'm talking the early it calls like god,
- 3:00Speaker 1: Sunday night and Monday morning, where guys talking about forty niners.
- 3:04Speaker 1: They love that number. They thought that you're gonna good
- 3:06Speaker 1: number four Nineers versus Cardinals at plus four. It's down
- 3:09Speaker 1: to plus three and a half in a lot of books.
- 3:11Speaker 1: The newest calls I got, people are gonna like as
- 3:13Speaker 1: much they love Miami tonight seven and a half. You
- 3:16Speaker 1: can still get that hook. They're all over it. They
- 3:18Speaker 1: think this is a really good position to be taking
- 3:20Speaker 1: this Miami team. They're undervalue. You're playing against Ravens team
- 3:24Speaker 1: that historically they beat up on really bad teams. But
- 3:27Speaker 1: it's not great when you're getting a physical team like
- 3:29Speaker 1: the Ravens on a short week in the game they
- 3:31Speaker 1: just went to over time against against the team in
- 3:33Speaker 1: Miami that they are terrible. I understand completely why people
- 3:37Speaker 1: hate this Miami team, but you just have to play
- 3:40Speaker 1: the numbers. Two. You're getting seven a half at home
- 3:42Speaker 1: on a Thursday night. It's it's it's a hard not
- 3:45Speaker 1: to agree with the professionals. This one and the other
- 3:48Speaker 1: game they really kept reaching out to me about was, uh,
- 3:52Speaker 1: they love our they love our Jets pick chat. That
- 3:57Speaker 1: was thirteen and a half and we talked about it.
- 3:59Speaker 1: It's down to twelve of it. A lot of books
- 4:00Speaker 1: now that Mike Whites announces the quarterback, So now how
- 4:03Speaker 1: much just changed there as well? Uh, I would say
- 4:07Speaker 1: the one they want us to stay away from. I
- 4:08Speaker 1: don't know if we would even do it anyway was
- 4:11Speaker 1: the Eagles. A lot of pros I've talked to like
- 4:13Speaker 1: Denver actually that matchup, so it doesn't matter anyway. We
- 4:16Speaker 1: weren't gonna do the Eagles because I've banned them for us.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But a couple of pros I've talked to they really
- 4:21Speaker 1: like Denver in this matchup at home? Why do they
- 4:23Speaker 1: like Denver? Did they say, uh, they just having the
- 4:27Speaker 1: different projections where they thought last week that Eagles game
- 4:30Speaker 1: was the perfect game for that Eagles team. They still lost.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So the one probably talked to you we had at
- 4:35Speaker 1: five and a half for Denver. Another one talked to
- 4:37Speaker 1: about at four. I had the line of three. So
- 4:39Speaker 1: I think it's a good number. That's why I kind
- 4:40Speaker 1: of like the Eagles. But if you're just looking at
- 4:44Speaker 1: pure matchup on paper, the only way to really stopped
- 4:47Speaker 1: Teddy is getting to him. The Eagles are one of
- 4:49Speaker 1: the lowest teams and pressures on quarterbacks this year. They
- 4:52Speaker 1: were the lowest sack rates of all teams this year.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I mean, our biggest, our best guy are are highest
- 4:57Speaker 1: sac rate guy, Brandon Graham. He's been out and you
- 5:00Speaker 1: really noticed that the last couple of weeks. Eagles are
- 5:02Speaker 1: just not getting to the quarterback. So I think they
- 5:04Speaker 1: looking at a position that Denver is getting healthier. They
- 5:06Speaker 1: got Jerry Judy back on all offense, it looks like
- 5:08Speaker 1: they got their running game going last week against an
- 5:11Speaker 1: Eagles team that Slade could be on the secondary. Just
- 5:14Speaker 1: a couple of different things with this defense that they
- 5:16Speaker 1: just have not been good. And I think it's five
- 5:19Speaker 1: different quarterbacks have complete over against the Eagles team. Teddy
- 5:22Speaker 1: is a really high percentage completion quarterback. This is a
- 5:25Speaker 1: really fable matchup firm. So it makes sense now when
- 5:28Speaker 1: you really look back at it, why these professionals like
- 5:30Speaker 1: Denver in this position, Well, not all of a sudden.
- 5:33Speaker 1: I love I love Denver. I wasn't even talking about it. Now.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I think it's like Denver's going to the super Bowl.
- 5:38Speaker 1: And that's why I love having different guys reach out
- 5:40Speaker 1: to me, because they kind of opened up exactly what
- 5:42Speaker 1: you're you're saying there, like it kind of opened up
- 5:44Speaker 1: an ave and I wasn't looking at it. And then
- 5:46Speaker 1: when you go back and look at it, you know what,
- 5:48Speaker 1: maybe I am too low. Maybe this line shouldn't be
- 5:50Speaker 1: three and it should be four, And they're right, you're
- 5:51Speaker 1: getting an extra point or point and a half of
- 5:53Speaker 1: value on this Denver team. So I'm right there with you.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I really didn't like Denver that much going into this week,
- 5:58Speaker 1: and now the more I think about it's like, you
- 6:00Speaker 1: know it, Actually that's a good pick. All right, Well
- 6:03Speaker 1: maybe we'll add it to the list. Um, let's start
- 6:07Speaker 1: with the game that we said with Simon says the
- 6:11Speaker 1: Washington football team plus nine and a half against the Bucks.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'll stick with it, as Simon says, but I do
- 6:18Speaker 1: have some trepidation as we get further from Tuesday and
- 6:22Speaker 1: our instant reactions. Are you feeling the same trepidation betting
- 6:27Speaker 1: against Tom Brady after a bye? Then I am no,
- 6:31Speaker 1: and you can go. Look. I think teams after a
- 6:33Speaker 1: bye this year three and nine against the spread. Tom
- 6:36Speaker 1: Brady has not covered a game on the road yet,
- 6:38Speaker 1: which is something we love. Another thing I love about
- 6:41Speaker 1: this game is I think I talked to three or
- 6:43Speaker 1: from bookmakers, and all of them are getting tons and
- 6:46Speaker 1: tons of Tampa money, tons of Tampa teasers. What is
- 6:50Speaker 1: this line done? Nothing? It's just sat there nine and
- 6:52Speaker 1: a half. So if it was going up, if it
- 6:54Speaker 1: was at eleven right now, maybe I'd be a little
- 6:56Speaker 1: worried because that means professionals of coming in bet Tampa.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It's not looking that way. It just looks like it's
- 7:01Speaker 1: all public money hitting this. Uh. You know, I can't
- 7:05Speaker 1: blame when Tom Brady, like you just said, after a boye,
- 7:07Speaker 1: you you assume they're going to get it right. But
- 7:09Speaker 1: to me, this is just a prime example why you
- 7:12Speaker 1: take this Washington team at home and kind of a
- 7:14Speaker 1: letdown spot for Tampa. But I I can't see them
- 7:17Speaker 1: really getting up for this matchup. As much as I'd
- 7:19Speaker 1: love to say Tom gets up for every game, this
- 7:22Speaker 1: is such a classic let down game for this team.
- 7:25Speaker 1: So now I'm not betting. I don't know if I'll
- 7:27Speaker 1: have him in the round robin the money line with
- 7:29Speaker 1: Washington because Tom he has the ball at anytime in
- 7:32Speaker 1: the final couple of minutes against this defense of Washington.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I just can't see Washington get stops. But at nine
- 7:39Speaker 1: and a half, this line is overvalued by two points.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I still think you're getting a great number here. I
- 7:44Speaker 1: do want it on the record. Okay, so we'll stick
- 7:46Speaker 1: with with Washington football team not and a half. We
- 7:49Speaker 1: still like it. I do want it on the record.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I still like the Lions. That numbers down to plus eight.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I like it less. You still like the Steelers. You
- 7:59Speaker 1: and I are on what they call opposite sides. Yeah
- 8:04Speaker 1: I don't. I don't love Pittsburgh. What are you walking back?
- 8:08Speaker 1: I'm a man of conviction. Definitely, I love the Lions.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I'm with you. The more I look at this is
- 8:13Speaker 1: the classic UM I'm gonna end up taking Pittsburgh and
- 8:16Speaker 1: survivor pools. And this is the game they lose against
- 8:19Speaker 1: the lines, the first one of the season for the lines.
- 8:21Speaker 1: But no, it's nothing's really changed. Yeah, I still I'm
- 8:25Speaker 1: still gonna know Ben in Pittsburgh. I still think Pittsburgh
- 8:28Speaker 1: is gonna win this game and cover this number. I
- 8:29Speaker 1: just I just have zero faith right now in the lines.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But going off our joke that the lines don't cover
- 8:36Speaker 1: one week, in the final week they cover, and they've
- 8:37Speaker 1: done it all year, this technically is one of the
- 8:40Speaker 1: weeks you take the lines to cover if you're going
- 8:42Speaker 1: off that pattern. This season, also you got the opposite
- 8:46Speaker 1: of rab Mike. I love the false enthusiasm. I'm gonna say,
- 8:52Speaker 1: we can make what do you guys quit today? They
- 8:54Speaker 1: are a home team, is a big favorite with a
- 8:58Speaker 1: quarterback that isn't playing well uh and has to score
- 9:02Speaker 1: a lot of points to cover a big number against
- 9:06Speaker 1: a team that is not going to quit. They are
- 9:09Speaker 1: gonna eat those knee caps. They are not gonna stop
- 9:12Speaker 1: until they are full. They can be down fourteen and
- 9:19Speaker 1: there's a minute left and they have just scored a
- 9:22Speaker 1: touchdown and they are going to on site kick it.
- 9:25Speaker 1: They will just keep going. So this team is Detroit.
- 9:29Speaker 1: We're gonna kick you in the teeth, and when you
- 9:30Speaker 1: punch this, we're gonna smile at you. And when you
- 9:32Speaker 1: knock us down, we're gonna get up. And on the
- 9:34Speaker 1: way up, we're gonna buy a knee cap off. All right,
- 9:37Speaker 1: We're gonna take your other knee cap. Before long, we're
- 9:39Speaker 1: there going to be the last one standing. If you
- 9:41Speaker 1: have this passion Sunday morning, we'll probably have the lines in.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Just all that. Like I was gonna bed labs before
- 9:46Speaker 1: he came on. There's a bunch of trends that favor
- 9:48Speaker 1: what you're saying right now. I think Roethlisberger has a
- 9:50Speaker 1: seven a half point favorite at home. He's owing six
- 9:52Speaker 1: in his last six covering. So a bunch of different
- 9:56Speaker 1: little trends I really favorite towards what you're saying right now.
- 9:59Speaker 1: So why are you fight me? Why even fight me?
- 10:01Speaker 1: Why say that you're gonna take the Steelers just because
- 10:04Speaker 1: I make a number in my system. So if my
- 10:07Speaker 1: system saying this number three and a half and it
- 10:09Speaker 1: was at nine now it's down to eight, I still
- 10:11Speaker 1: have to go with Pittsburgh. So it's that's how it goes, buddy. Well, listen,
- 10:15Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta break away from the system. Don't be
- 10:18Speaker 1: beholden to the math all the time. Go with your feelings. Um.
- 10:25Speaker 1: We also talked a lot about the Browns and the Patriots,
- 10:27Speaker 1: and this is one where, um, the line was at one.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Now the line is at two and a half. Uh,
- 10:37Speaker 1: so we've seen money and tickets come out in the Patriots.
- 10:42Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel like the Browns on the right
- 10:43Speaker 1: side here. If it gets the three, I might have
- 10:46Speaker 1: to be there with you. That's what I was talking about.
- 10:48Speaker 1: This line kept going up, but eventually at three, the
- 10:51Speaker 1: Browns become the value in this position. And I think
- 10:54Speaker 1: the lines just moving because of the Nick Chubb like
- 10:56Speaker 1: he he's out right, I'm pretty sure. So you know,
- 11:00Speaker 1: pros are looking at that. They're saying, okay, the best
- 11:02Speaker 1: weapon off this offense has gone now and Nick Chubb,
- 11:06Speaker 1: but I don't know it's I'm right there with you.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I don't have a great feel for it. But if
- 11:10Speaker 1: it does get the three, and if it was three
- 11:12Speaker 1: in our our contest, our imaginary contest, I guess I
- 11:15Speaker 1: would take that's uh. With the Browns. But to me,
- 11:18Speaker 1: there's other matchups that I like better and there's more
- 11:20Speaker 1: value on the lines. Yeah, I agree, I totally agree.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Um uh, let's talk about the Cowboys. Let's spend a
- 11:30Speaker 1: decent amount of time talking about the Cowboys for a second,
- 11:34Speaker 1: because well before that, I don't want to I don't
- 11:38Speaker 1: want to short change the Colts. It was a big number.
- 11:41Speaker 1: We like it as the Colts at minus ten? Do
- 11:44Speaker 1: we contest like it? Do we like it top five
- 11:48Speaker 1: like it? Or do we like it like you know,
- 11:50Speaker 1: it's the right number and it's what we should do
- 11:53Speaker 1: because this Jaguars team is coming off a big win,
- 11:55Speaker 1: the Coults are coming off of bye. It's the right
- 11:58Speaker 1: spot for them to blow a team out. Like, you
- 12:00Speaker 1: know how I go though, if it's if it's either,
- 12:02Speaker 1: I'm taking a double digit favorite, double digit dog, Like
- 12:05Speaker 1: I'd rather take the Jets of the double digit dog
- 12:07Speaker 1: than take the Colts of the double digit favorite, So
- 12:09Speaker 1: I'm always gonna go towards that. But yeah, I still
- 12:12Speaker 1: love the Colts in this matchup. This is a classic.
- 12:16Speaker 1: You just want to fade the Jaguars af there such
- 12:18Speaker 1: a huge win at home, young team, party been been
- 12:21Speaker 1: partying all week. Um, it's it's not ideal, um because
- 12:27Speaker 1: it's once again we'll be back in Carson Wentz and
- 12:30Speaker 1: that's always just the roller coaster rider roller coaster rides.
- 12:32Speaker 1: But that's a great number if it stays under twelve.
- 12:36Speaker 1: To me, that's a that's a very very fair number
- 12:38Speaker 1: for this Colts team. So I still like it. But
- 12:41Speaker 1: like we can talk about this Dallas matchup that to
- 12:44Speaker 1: me has been the most interesting movement of all the
- 12:46Speaker 1: week is how the pros are really coming in on
- 12:47Speaker 1: Atlanta and they bet this number down. Yeah, I don't
- 12:50Speaker 1: get it, and I'm with you. I like it's it's
- 12:54Speaker 1: a weird game. To me, it feels like the exact
- 12:58Speaker 1: right spot to be betting the Cowboys. From a matchup
- 13:02Speaker 1: point of view, it plays to the Cowboys strengths in
- 13:06Speaker 1: which the Falcons are a team that is going to
- 13:09Speaker 1: put the ball in the air. They are going to
- 13:11Speaker 1: be in a position where they where the Cowboys can
- 13:14Speaker 1: create turnovers. Um, the Falcons running the Russian game is
- 13:19Speaker 1: really not very good. Uh. The Cowboys are coming off
- 13:23Speaker 1: such a huge loss that you're getting a bit of
- 13:25Speaker 1: a discount on the number. Everything to me smacks take
- 13:29Speaker 1: the Cowboys here? How do you not? And that's why
- 13:32Speaker 1: I don't really get what the proser scene. This is
- 13:34Speaker 1: such a Atlanta just had a huge win against the
- 13:37Speaker 1: divisional opponent that they notoriously hate, so they've had a good,
- 13:41Speaker 1: a nice week here where the Cowboys have an embarrassing
- 13:43Speaker 1: loss at home. You know they're on it this week
- 13:46Speaker 1: with practice another trend I loved. I saw, Um what
- 13:50Speaker 1: was that? There might have been thirty one to seventeen, Um,
- 13:54Speaker 1: what was the trend? So basically, a team that covers
- 13:57Speaker 1: the final weeks, they're playing against the team that did
- 13:59Speaker 1: not cover, the team that did not cover the past
- 14:01Speaker 1: week against the team that dive covered. Now this week
- 14:04Speaker 1: it's seventeen the team covers that didn't cover the week before.
- 14:07Speaker 1: So that's a classic match up right here of that
- 14:10Speaker 1: exact scenario where Atlanta not only didn't cover as a
- 14:13Speaker 1: road dog, they want out right now going on the
- 14:15Speaker 1: road again to play Dallas at home. We didn't cover
- 14:18Speaker 1: at home as a big favorite. How do you not
- 14:21Speaker 1: just going off the bed Labs numbers? How do you
- 14:24Speaker 1: not just favorite towards the Cowboys with these kind of trends?
- 14:26Speaker 1: So it's I'm staying in my I'm staying in my
- 14:29Speaker 1: position here. I feel actually way better about this one
- 14:31Speaker 1: where Pittsburgh again, Sunday morning, you call me up chat,
- 14:33Speaker 1: you're all about Detroit. I could easily talked in the Detroit.
- 14:36Speaker 1: There's no scenario could talked to Atlanta this week. I
- 14:39Speaker 1: loved Dallas in this position, I feel like Cowboys right
- 14:42Speaker 1: now are the most solid of the games that we
- 14:47Speaker 1: are talking about, like consterms of our agreement. Yeah, all right, absolutely,
- 14:53Speaker 1: I'm still a little nervous about Washington football team, even
- 14:56Speaker 1: though even though by the way I chow was it
- 15:00Speaker 1: as my screwtrow lempic and you chose the Saints as
- 15:02Speaker 1: your screwture Lempic and I had the first pick, and
- 15:05Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Saints because now I'm like,
- 15:08Speaker 1: Saints are gonna win this game, and so I'm starting
- 15:10Speaker 1: to feel a little bit dreadful now when we talked
- 15:13Speaker 1: about the Saints. This is either a no brainer We're
- 15:16Speaker 1: gonna crush this one, or it's just a classic professional trap,
- 15:20Speaker 1: like the only people bet in the Saints here are prosed.
- 15:23Speaker 1: We might be walking right into it. I can not
- 15:26Speaker 1: do it. This is uh another trend for you friends
- 15:29Speaker 1: from our friends of bed Labs nine and O the
- 15:31Speaker 1: Saints as a road dog their last nine. So come on,
- 15:36Speaker 1: I mean, how how can we not take the Saints here?
- 15:39Speaker 1: This is also it's the overreaction game of the week, right,
- 15:43Speaker 1: and the Titans are so overvalued in the market based
- 15:48Speaker 1: on the winds they've had the past couple of weeks.
- 15:51Speaker 1: They beat the Colts in dramatic fashion with some flukiness.
- 15:55Speaker 1: They beat the Rams in dramatic fashion, meaning Derrick Henry
- 15:58Speaker 1: is out, their big dog dogs they're on the road. Yeah,
- 16:04Speaker 1: there's some there's some high variants in that game. They
- 16:07Speaker 1: didn't win because they were uh well rounded team. Um,
- 16:14Speaker 1: and the Saints defense is just so good you could
- 16:17Speaker 1: argue is probably one of the best defenses in the NFL.
- 16:21Speaker 1: And so to me, you've got Sean Payton, who's amazing
- 16:28Speaker 1: as an underdog. I listened to Stucky and Raybond on
- 16:31Speaker 1: the Action Network podcast this morning. Sean Payton the second
- 16:36Speaker 1: most profitable coach against the spread coming off of a
- 16:39Speaker 1: loss since two thousand three. Like everything screams this, this
- 16:46Speaker 1: numbers moved. It was at three. Now it's a two
- 16:48Speaker 1: and a half in a lot of places. I still
- 16:51Speaker 1: better at the two and a half. This could be
- 16:54Speaker 1: that game, It could be that Colts game from a
- 16:56Speaker 1: few weeks ago. But how do I love this? Yeah?
- 17:01Speaker 1: And I honestly would have. This has been one of
- 17:03Speaker 1: my bigger bets of the week if it was not
- 17:05Speaker 1: for the late ad of Kamara to the injury report.
- 17:08Speaker 1: He has not practiced this week. We need Kamara, I mean,
- 17:12Speaker 1: Alvin has been unbelievable this year for this team, so
- 17:16Speaker 1: we want to wait a little bit see what's going
- 17:17Speaker 1: on with that. But the fact that numbers come down
- 17:20Speaker 1: even though he might be out of this game actually
- 17:22Speaker 1: makes me feel even better. It goes oh man, the
- 17:24Speaker 1: bookmakers don't think doesn't even matter the thing of mark
- 17:26Speaker 1: Ingram can step in and be that guy for the
- 17:28Speaker 1: Saints team. So very interesting that the injury news came
- 17:31Speaker 1: out and the line moved the other way. So it's
- 17:35Speaker 1: I just want to keep my eye on it. But
- 17:36Speaker 1: apparently the bookmakers think irrelevant if this guy plays or not. Well, Look,
- 17:40Speaker 1: I think it's an indication of all the money that's
- 17:42Speaker 1: coming in on the Saints. It's all the professional money,
- 17:44Speaker 1: you know. This is that game that everybody is talking
- 17:47Speaker 1: about this week. Every week there is one of those games.
- 17:49Speaker 1: This is it. We're an agreement. Oh yeah, so right now. See,
- 18:00Speaker 1: I looked at my notes this morning before we started
- 18:02Speaker 1: the podcast, and I felt like we were going to
- 18:06Speaker 1: come out of here. We've probably three games that we
- 18:10Speaker 1: felt incredibly good about, like Lockstep, locked in come Sunday,
- 18:18Speaker 1: we're not gonna waiver and the Saints and the Cowboys
- 18:21Speaker 1: are two of those games. To me down with you there,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I mean, they're to me o the games that we
- 18:26Speaker 1: we kind of locked in on Tuesday, like we were
- 18:28Speaker 1: going to take those um the again. We can talk
- 18:32Speaker 1: about now this Denver matchup. I feel like that might
- 18:34Speaker 1: be one of the late ads we might be thrown
- 18:36Speaker 1: in there. We're not talking about it yet. It's not
- 18:38Speaker 1: it's not time for the Broncos yet. Okay, don't try
- 18:41Speaker 1: to overrun the rundown. I got my own notes. Okay,
- 18:44Speaker 1: well you got notes and I got notes. But we
- 18:48Speaker 1: got to talk about the Bills and the Jets. Because
- 18:50Speaker 1: you mentioned Mike White, the numbers moved from thirteen and
- 18:52Speaker 1: a half to twelve and a half. H The hype
- 18:55Speaker 1: is real, people. Now you got and we talked about
- 18:58Speaker 1: this a Jets team that beat the Bengals at home
- 19:04Speaker 1: as huge dogs, beat the Titans at home as huge dogs.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Their defense plays well. Mike White, maybe he's legit. Maybe
- 19:15Speaker 1: he was just a guy who had to throw at
- 19:17Speaker 1: eighty nine times and that's why he threw for five
- 19:20Speaker 1: yards or four hundred yards in that first game. But
- 19:23Speaker 1: the Bills are stumbling bumbling right now, and two touchdown
- 19:28Speaker 1: underdog at home. You blindly bet that it's not like
- 19:33Speaker 1: if we're getting back to our principles and we're not
- 19:34Speaker 1: going to be knocked off because of bad luck the
- 19:37Speaker 1: past few weeks. You take the Jets. Yeah, obviously we
- 19:41Speaker 1: loved that thirteen and a half. It's kind of tough
- 19:44Speaker 1: now that it's down to eleven twelve, but we still
- 19:46Speaker 1: like the number. We still think the values there. Uh.
- 19:49Speaker 1: The craziest thing to me is that the Tennessee Titans,
- 19:52Speaker 1: who beat the Buffalo Bills at home, played this exact
- 19:55Speaker 1: team like you just said in the in New Jersey.
- 19:58Speaker 1: They played the Jets the wide open seven and a
- 20:00Speaker 1: half by clothes. I think it was down to four
- 20:02Speaker 1: just because the pros really came in heavy on the
- 20:05Speaker 1: Jets and Tennessee had a bunch of injuries going into
- 20:07Speaker 1: that game. Okay, so that number closed at four. If
- 20:10Speaker 1: this game says closed at ten, are the Bills really
- 20:13Speaker 1: six points better than Tennessee right now? I don't think so.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Um so interesting what the bookmakers are doing here. They
- 20:20Speaker 1: they hung this pretty high just to get some public money,
- 20:23Speaker 1: you know, in a big number on a big favorite,
- 20:25Speaker 1: and make them pay to tease it down. Now they're
- 20:28Speaker 1: moving it down because that's how much professionals money coming
- 20:30Speaker 1: on the Jets. They're they're right there with us. Yeah,
- 20:33Speaker 1: they're they're saying theirselves, the NFL hasn't figured out Mike
- 20:36Speaker 1: White yet. They don't know what defense to run against them.
- 20:39Speaker 1: The Bills. It's not that we predicted this coming into
- 20:44Speaker 1: the year with um them being this bad at five
- 20:46Speaker 1: and three, again, that's not that bad, but they've had
- 20:48Speaker 1: these games they've lost they really shouldn't have lost. Now
- 20:51Speaker 1: we're kind of getting that idea that, you know, what's
- 20:54Speaker 1: exactly what we talked about the last year, Josh Youn
- 20:57Speaker 1: had the best career year of his life. We were
- 21:00Speaker 1: saying to him, do it again, and then we'll believe
- 21:02Speaker 1: in you do do it. Back to back seasons it's
- 21:05Speaker 1: not looking like it did last year. A bunch of
- 21:07Speaker 1: different things he's doing wrong. It's kind of if you're
- 21:11Speaker 1: a Bills fan, it's gonna be a little worried that
- 21:13Speaker 1: this is your franchise quarterback and he's reverting back to old,
- 21:16Speaker 1: sloppy habits from his rookie years. So as much as
- 21:19Speaker 1: we love the Jets here, this is a prime spot
- 21:21Speaker 1: to get right for Josh Down. This is one of
- 21:23Speaker 1: the worst past defenses in football, and then New York
- 21:25Speaker 1: New York Jets. They have a good front line, their
- 21:28Speaker 1: secondary is terrible. So if he's gonna figure it out,
- 21:32Speaker 1: this this has to be the matchup for Josh Down
- 21:33Speaker 1: to figure it out. But I got no issue taking
- 21:36Speaker 1: Mike White here in a backdoor situation where if he
- 21:39Speaker 1: has the ball. I'm excited to see what this kid
- 21:41Speaker 1: can do because I've only seen him maybe ten fool
- 21:45Speaker 1: drives by him in his career. He's put up points
- 21:47Speaker 1: and by eight of them, Like he he is really
- 21:50Speaker 1: good at driving the field and doing stuff with this offense.
- 21:53Speaker 1: So if the Bills keep running the defense they've been
- 21:56Speaker 1: running like they ran the last couple of weeks, they've
- 21:58Speaker 1: been running kind of a weird zone scheme where it's
- 22:00Speaker 1: kind of what these teams are doing against my homes
- 22:01Speaker 1: are just giving up the short stuff. They're letting you
- 22:03Speaker 1: run it against them, but they're gonna let you beat
- 22:05Speaker 1: them beat That's that's where Mike White thrives. That's what
- 22:08Speaker 1: the cult ran against him. He was hitting guys in
- 22:09Speaker 1: between the numbers, all up and down the field. I
- 22:11Speaker 1: mean he drove down the field is opening drive. It's
- 22:15Speaker 1: it's a it's a big number, but I'm not scared
- 22:18Speaker 1: of it. The fact that's come down is the only problem.
- 22:22Speaker 1: That's like, I'm not gonna try to harp on that
- 22:23Speaker 1: too much because episode burned us the last couple of weeks.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Is me being too much of a oh, we're not
- 22:27Speaker 1: getting the best of number. I don't want to take
- 22:29Speaker 1: this number. I feel like we have to take the
- 22:31Speaker 1: Jets as long as it's above ten and a half eleven.
- 22:36Speaker 1: What's interesting about this Bill's team is fascinating, and the
- 22:41Speaker 1: Titans team is fascinating. And what you just said about
- 22:45Speaker 1: this number and the delta of about six points of
- 22:48Speaker 1: value based on the Bookmaker's math between the Titans and
- 22:51Speaker 1: the Bills, that that that speaks to why we are
- 22:55Speaker 1: also confident about the Saints, and that the the betting
- 23:00Speaker 1: markets that are the professional betting markets of bookmakers and
- 23:03Speaker 1: wise guys, have zero respect for the Titans. They look
- 23:07Speaker 1: at that, They look at that record as completely fraudulent.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I feel better about betting the Saints now knowing a
- 23:15Speaker 1: little bit more about the sort of transitive properties of
- 23:19Speaker 1: that bill's jets number. Now I'm with you on that,
- 23:24Speaker 1: all right, I'm not I'm not uncomfortable with this. You
- 23:26Speaker 1: know what, I think? It was our friend Bruce Arians
- 23:29Speaker 1: who once said, no risk it, no biscuit. Guess what,
- 23:33Speaker 1: I fucking love biscuits. It's not really true. I'm not
- 23:37Speaker 1: a carves guy, but if I did eat carbs, biscuits
- 23:41Speaker 1: would be the carbs that I eat. Oh man, you
- 23:44Speaker 1: gotta get some Hawaiian bread. That's the car you want
- 23:46Speaker 1: to eat. We got like the Hawaiian bread in my
- 23:47Speaker 1: kitchen right now. My kids love the Hawaiian bread. They do.
- 23:53Speaker 1: By the way, thanks to UH, A lot of people
- 23:56Speaker 1: tweeted at me and said they hope my kid was
- 23:59Speaker 1: feeling better, which is really sweet of people to do. Yeah,
- 24:02Speaker 1: I got dams too, I said, tell chat this that's funny. Yeah,
- 24:07Speaker 1: he's doing well. He's sitting on the couch right now,
- 24:09Speaker 1: zooming into his classes, being treated like a king. And
- 24:15Speaker 1: now a few words from our friends at Fandel. The

- 26:28Speaker 1: not going to talk about the Vikings and Chargers. This
- 26:29Speaker 1: number has moved. Uh it's three and a half now,
- 26:32Speaker 1: it was two and a half. I think the Vikings
- 26:34Speaker 1: were the right side. Anyways, Um, we weren't talking about
- 26:37Speaker 1: on our contest. Obviously there's some COVID potential COVID issues
- 26:40Speaker 1: there and coming out. So it feels like a pass
- 26:45Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, And like the drama Dalvin Cook, like
- 26:48Speaker 1: this guy's either a victim or he's a horrible human being.
- 26:53Speaker 1: He's trying to play a victim where he did something
- 26:55Speaker 1: terrible in domestic violence case. So I'm right there with
- 26:58Speaker 1: I don't want to get burned any more by this
- 27:00Speaker 1: COVID news, by these backups. Let's just stay away from
- 27:03Speaker 1: this one. Can we talk about the Panthers and the Cardinals? Though? Please?
- 27:09Speaker 1: Are we missing an opportunity with the Panthers? One of
- 27:12Speaker 1: the reasons what's up we're on the we talk we
- 27:16Speaker 1: like the Panthers. Tuesday we did I don't have I
- 27:19Speaker 1: don't have it in my notes, do you Well? Our
- 27:20Speaker 1: big thing was we wanted to make sure Sam Arnold
- 27:22Speaker 1: was out and he is we're in, baby, dude, then
- 27:27Speaker 1: we are one hundred percent in on this game. Yeah. No,
- 27:32Speaker 1: The joke was like the line the bookmakers hang this
- 27:35Speaker 1: line saying, we don't care what the quarterback is. If
- 27:37Speaker 1: it's cool, McCoy will let it be ten. The public
- 27:40Speaker 1: is going right there with him. They're saying, you know what,
- 27:41Speaker 1: we're with you, guys. This is uh, this is a
- 27:43Speaker 1: good number. We'll take the ten. So I like this
- 27:47Speaker 1: Carolina team, but we're gonna end up on one of
- 27:51Speaker 1: these big dogs. We're definitely going the Jets over Carolina.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Um P J. Walker, He I think I feel like
- 27:58Speaker 1: his first passes a pixel X when he came in there,
- 28:01Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago, or maybe it was
- 28:02Speaker 1: a drop pick six, but it's it's scary um taking
- 28:06Speaker 1: this kid. But Cole McCoy ten point favorite, come on,
- 28:09Speaker 1: that's that's insane. Come on, man, against this deep offense
- 28:13Speaker 1: of Carolina. I mean, you gotta take care of Have
- 28:17Speaker 1: I told you my cult McCoy story, don't you dare?
- 28:22Speaker 1: Our good buddy DAVEC Chicago Bears texting me the other day,
- 28:27Speaker 1: He's like, we've heard the Dave X story. We've we've
- 28:31Speaker 1: heard the day. We've heard the cult McCoy story. We've
- 28:33Speaker 1: heard it like four times. It's more painful every time too.
- 28:35Speaker 1: That's the best part. Can I say, I'm an old
- 28:40Speaker 1: person who only has so many stories and I can't
- 28:43Speaker 1: remember them all. But we love this Panthers game. Yeah,
- 28:48Speaker 1: I do. I really love it again. I'm gonna paraphrase
- 28:52Speaker 1: Stucky here from their podcast this morning because they loved
- 28:56Speaker 1: it too, and one of the things that stood out
- 28:58Speaker 1: to me he had some great insight talking about regression.
- 29:02Speaker 1: And we've talked about this with the Cowboys a lot
- 29:04Speaker 1: in relation to their turnovers. And that's why last week
- 29:09Speaker 1: they're like, we had the Cowboys in the in the
- 29:11Speaker 1: survivor pool, but I don't think we were convinced they
- 29:13Speaker 1: were going to cover. And they are so reliant on
- 29:16Speaker 1: turnovers to create offense and UH and and win their games.
- 29:23Speaker 1: There had to be a regression. The Cardinals, according to
- 29:27Speaker 1: Stucky Uh, they fumble most in the NFL, lose the
- 29:32Speaker 1: second FEUs fumbles in the NFL. Opponents are fumbling the
- 29:36Speaker 1: second most in the NFL against them, losing the most
- 29:39Speaker 1: against them. So they're getting some really lucky bounces. And
- 29:43Speaker 1: if you look at the Niners, early fumbles led to
- 29:45Speaker 1: early points against the Browns big win, early fumbles led
- 29:48Speaker 1: at early points, Like there is a regression coming for
- 29:51Speaker 1: this team. And if it's gonna be Colt McCoy, if
- 29:53Speaker 1: there's not gonna be uh DeAndre Hopkins, if there's not
- 29:56Speaker 1: gonna be a J Green, a Panthers defense where we
- 30:00Speaker 1: you know, they want to run the ball, and the
- 30:01Speaker 1: Cardinals defense is thirty first in the NFL. And ardge
- 30:03Speaker 1: p Rush that to me, says Panthers, And the stuff
- 30:08Speaker 1: is interesting in the aggression stuff is sometimes when it
- 30:10Speaker 1: happened as quickly as you'd like it to happen. So
- 30:12Speaker 1: that is always a little bit of risk where I mean,
- 30:15Speaker 1: even just saying off the top, I had the Eagles
- 30:17Speaker 1: year we won the Super Bowl, we had the same
- 30:19Speaker 1: exact thing. We have the highest fumbling rate without losing
- 30:21Speaker 1: fumbles because our quarterback was Carson Wentz, who fumbled I
- 30:23Speaker 1: felt like every game, but so I always got it back.
- 30:25Speaker 1: So I'm with stuck you though, I I look at
- 30:29Speaker 1: this Cardinals team that I do think they're good. They're
- 30:31Speaker 1: a playoff team, no doubt. Are they the you know,
- 30:34Speaker 1: no doubt? Number one see in the NFC. You know
- 30:36Speaker 1: there's seven and one right now, everything is just going right.
- 30:39Speaker 1: I don't know about that. And the Cole McCoy back
- 30:41Speaker 1: to back starts. This is like, this is what we
- 30:44Speaker 1: always say about Cole McCoy. He can give you one
- 30:46Speaker 1: or two good starts, but eventually he's gonna fall off
- 30:47Speaker 1: a cliff. And then this matchup. You have to take
- 30:50Speaker 1: Carolina's defense. Uh, they played well against England. It was
- 30:54Speaker 1: more about Sam Donald just given three picks short fields.
- 30:56Speaker 1: That's how they lost. We got We talked about the
- 31:00Speaker 1: Broncos an Eagles, so we'll leave them on the list.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I don't think we need to say more about that.
- 31:03Speaker 1: We have two other games that we want to talk about.
- 31:05Speaker 1: The Raiders plus two and a half against the Chiefs.
- 31:09Speaker 1: You've been on the Raiders all year, and you've been
- 31:11Speaker 1: ahead of the market on them, and you've continue to
- 31:13Speaker 1: stick with them, and I have been definant. I was
- 31:16Speaker 1: right last weekend against the Giants. I feel like they're
- 31:20Speaker 1: a live dog this weekend. Yeah. But that's the scariest
- 31:23Speaker 1: part is everyone's caught up to it now with this
- 31:25Speaker 1: Chief's nonsense. Chiefs are still favorites and the crazy Part
- 31:30Speaker 1: two is the bookmakers are still respecting the Chiefs. Like
- 31:33Speaker 1: that number they hung last week, they hung the seven
- 31:35Speaker 1: and a half, or they maybe maybe one up to eight.
- 31:37Speaker 1: At one point they moved all that number all up
- 31:39Speaker 1: to eight. When Aaron Rodgers announced the out public came
- 31:42Speaker 1: in heavy. They bet it down to seven and a half.
- 31:45Speaker 1: They bet it down to seven. The bookmakers, let's stay
- 31:47Speaker 1: at seven and a half. That was an easy cover
- 31:49Speaker 1: for the public last week, fading the Chiefs. So they
- 31:52Speaker 1: might have overadjusted now at this point, but you're giving me.
- 31:56Speaker 1: I feel like the Raiders are a better team right now.
- 31:59Speaker 1: With everything that's going on in Kansas City, all the
- 32:01Speaker 1: dramas going on, my homes just hasn't looked right. That
- 32:03Speaker 1: offense does not look right. That defense is still terrible.
- 32:06Speaker 1: I mean just because that in Jordan's Loves first start
- 32:09Speaker 1: that he couldn't do anything. You only put up whatever
- 32:10Speaker 1: it was, seven points. That's that's more about the problems
- 32:14Speaker 1: of Jordan Love. Their car is gonna have a day
- 32:16Speaker 1: against his chief's defense. So I'm right there with you.
- 32:19Speaker 1: I like Las Vegas, I like them on the money line,
- 32:22Speaker 1: I'm not even taking the two and a half. This
- 32:24Speaker 1: is truly a whoever's last possession is probably gonna win
- 32:28Speaker 1: this matchup. So I like Las Vegas a lot in
- 32:31Speaker 1: this position, but I don't know if it's been one
- 32:33Speaker 1: of my best five. Um it's if it was three
- 32:37Speaker 1: or three and a half, I'd feel way better about
- 32:38Speaker 1: taking this number. I think we're narrowing down a pretty
- 32:42Speaker 1: good list though, right now for Sunday that we feel
- 32:47Speaker 1: decently strong about. Let's talk about the Niners before we
- 32:50Speaker 1: get some money line parlay and survivor. This next game
- 32:53Speaker 1: has to be our big balls Better the Week. It
- 32:55Speaker 1: must be the big balls Better the Week, because we
- 32:58Speaker 1: already did washing football team. As Simon says, you know
- 33:02Speaker 1: what we're going to talk about, New York Jets, huge
- 33:06Speaker 1: underdogs at home against the Buffalo Bills. Big balls Better
- 33:10Speaker 1: the Week. Oh my god, we almost did that in tune.
- 33:17Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this Niners game. Really interesting
- 33:20Speaker 1: to me, really interesting to me. We loved it. We
- 33:24Speaker 1: thought it was too many points in a divisional matchup.
- 33:27Speaker 1: We thought that the market was coming off the Niners
- 33:30Speaker 1: in a way that felt like it was a little
- 33:32Speaker 1: bit too much. The line has moved in the direction
- 33:36Speaker 1: of the Niners, it. It It was at four and a half.
- 33:38Speaker 1: In some places it's down to three and a half.
- 33:40Speaker 1: You were getting calls immediately that they had this power
- 33:43Speaker 1: Raider at San Francisco one. So there's still a decent
- 33:45Speaker 1: amount of value there. Talk to me, what are we
- 33:47Speaker 1: thinking right now? It's only making me feel better as
- 33:50Speaker 1: the week is going along. Here, a couple more pros
- 33:53Speaker 1: are on it. They loved the number as well. I
- 33:55Speaker 1: talked a couple of different bookmakers in the Philadelphia area
- 33:57Speaker 1: and a couple of down A c that they this
- 34:00Speaker 1: is one of their smallest handles. Like more people have
- 34:02Speaker 1: been on Washington. They're bet in the forty niners. We
- 34:05Speaker 1: got a perfect storm here. Chat. This is what I
- 34:07Speaker 1: always talk about. It's a rare opportunity where you have
- 34:09Speaker 1: a standalone game, so it's a prime time game. You
- 34:12Speaker 1: have a home team getting less than ten per cent
- 34:14Speaker 1: of the money and tener cent of the bets. All love, love, love.
- 34:18Speaker 1: If I haven't been licking my wound so hard the
- 34:21Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, this will be one of my
- 34:22Speaker 1: biggest bets of the season. Like, I'd be all in
- 34:24Speaker 1: on this bet, but I'm trying to be the professional
- 34:27Speaker 1: and say you've been cold, don't don't force the hand here,
- 34:30Speaker 1: because this is like a poker hand, Like I have
- 34:32Speaker 1: pocket aces right now, Like the only thing I can
- 34:34Speaker 1: screw me over is the flop. I'm just trying to
- 34:37Speaker 1: be smart here because this is too easy. The public
- 34:39Speaker 1: is gonna get sucked in here. Even if they have
- 34:41Speaker 1: a great Sunday, They're gonna lose it all in this
- 34:43Speaker 1: game because everyone's gonna ben in the Rams. They love
- 34:46Speaker 1: their Rams. When this moves down to three, which I
- 34:49Speaker 1: think it will, the public is gonna come in so
- 34:51Speaker 1: heavy on this number to take the four niners while
- 34:53Speaker 1: you still get the three and a half. This is
- 34:55Speaker 1: a prime, prime time to take this number. They suck.
- 34:59Speaker 1: I know, Shane Hanson Bucks, They're terrible. Everything's going wrong
- 35:01Speaker 1: for them. This is a gut right game for them.
- 35:04Speaker 1: This is like the perfect time you want to take
- 35:06Speaker 1: your You're literally buying at the lowest value of the
- 35:09Speaker 1: whole season on his four Niners team. It ain't gonna
- 35:10Speaker 1: get any lower than right now, So nothing's changed. I
- 35:13Speaker 1: still love this number. I'm just not gonna be betting
- 35:15Speaker 1: closest six figures on it, just because I've just been
- 35:17Speaker 1: that cold. Why are you so fa scared I'm a coward?
- 35:20Speaker 1: Play the drought man that I'm a sucking coward. I'm
- 35:23Speaker 1: calling you out, Simon Hunter, professional coward. What am I
- 35:29Speaker 1: looking at right now? You're a coward. You ain't nothing
- 35:33Speaker 1: but a gun. Yell a turn you know you're just
- 35:36Speaker 1: a goddamn color. It's wrong, dude, you yell you're a coward.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Pull up pants and be a man. You're gonna get that.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Don't let me down here, God damn coward, be a man,
- 35:54Speaker 1: Simon take the forty niners, pathetic. You're a coward. When
- 36:00Speaker 1: I knew you, when I knew you, you were not
- 36:03Speaker 1: a coward. This job ruined me. Chat I used to
- 36:06Speaker 1: be a man. I'd hair in my chest. Now I
- 36:08Speaker 1: shaved my chest. I feel bad. I feel bad that
- 36:10Speaker 1: I did this to you. I feel bad that I
- 36:12Speaker 1: I tempted you with fame and no fortune and this
- 36:17Speaker 1: callus on my hands. Look out, no callous easy life.
- 36:20Speaker 1: You're fucking soft. I agree with you. It sounds like
- 36:25Speaker 1: I'm forcing it in. Cowboys, Niners, Saints. I said we'd
- 36:29Speaker 1: come out of this with three that we love. We
- 36:31Speaker 1: love Cowboys, Niners and Saints. I think when we talk
- 36:34Speaker 1: on Sunday, it's going to be a debate between for
- 36:37Speaker 1: the final two Raiders, Panthers, Broncos, and we'll see what
- 36:42Speaker 1: happens with the Browns and the Lions and whoever Chris
- 36:45Speaker 1: Raybon takes on our show. We won't fade them. No
- 36:47Speaker 1: matter what. Agbon is on fire. He swept everything last
- 36:53Speaker 1: week on this podcast. Them swept. It's crazy. Whatever Raybon says,
- 36:59Speaker 1: we're just gonna be alright, Chris, Yeah, pretty much. That's it.
- 37:04Speaker 1: All right. Let's say the Survivor pool pick of the week.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Let's say, Yeah, let's say we took Miami and Survivor
- 37:18Speaker 1: last week. If we took Miami and Survivors last week,
- 37:20Speaker 1: I feel like we're taking the Bills this week on
- 37:23Speaker 1: the road. Well, then we're taking the Colts. So we
- 37:26Speaker 1: already used Colts in ours. We took them against the Texans.
- 37:29Speaker 1: So that's why we're either looking at Pittsburgh, we're the Cowboys. Well,
- 37:34Speaker 1: we're taking the Cowboys. Then we think the Cowboys are
- 37:36Speaker 1: going to cover. So love the Cowboys. We love the Cowboys.
- 37:40Speaker 1: That'd be amazing. We got burned two weeks in a
- 37:43Speaker 1: row by the Cowboys. But I have to take them
- 37:46Speaker 1: and survivor here. We gotta take them here. What about
- 37:50Speaker 1: the money line parlay. I'd be tempted on the Panthers here.
- 37:55Speaker 1: I don't hate it. So I was gonna go with
- 37:57Speaker 1: the Jets just because they're at home and I like that.
- 37:59Speaker 1: It's a bigger no uber. I know the Bills, it's
- 38:01Speaker 1: the divisional game. They need it, but that's even more reason.
- 38:04Speaker 1: I just they're there, wheels are spinning right now. I
- 38:06Speaker 1: just like the way the Jets have been playing, So
- 38:09Speaker 1: I'll throw the Jets in there kind of We'll have
- 38:11Speaker 1: Caroline and his so right now I have this is
- 38:14Speaker 1: actually a good, big, big week for this one. If
- 38:16Speaker 1: this hits, would be really nice play too. I got
- 38:18Speaker 1: the Jets, got the Washington football team, I got the Saints,
- 38:22Speaker 1: I got the Raiders, and I got the forty Niners.
- 38:25Speaker 1: I don't hate. Like if you want to add the
- 38:28Speaker 1: one in is the Seahawks. Just because Aaron Rodgers might
- 38:32Speaker 1: have really bad lasting effects from COVID. As someone that
- 38:34Speaker 1: had COVID, I still don't feel right mentally, like I
- 38:37Speaker 1: still feel like there's a little things like that where
- 38:39Speaker 1: it just it just sucks with your system. Um, so
- 38:42Speaker 1: I don't know how he affected him, but we saw
- 38:44Speaker 1: last year these other quarterbacks come back from it and
- 38:46Speaker 1: they just weren't right. Like Lamar wasn't right for a
- 38:48Speaker 1: couple of months. He he just was not in shape.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Um because again it's a it's a virus that affect
- 38:53Speaker 1: you your lungs. So we didn't really talk about the
- 38:56Speaker 1: Seahawks because I kind of want to stay away from it.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Just because Russell so got pins out of his hands
- 39:01Speaker 1: not even seven days ago. It's weird. It's just a
- 39:05Speaker 1: weird That's why that number is so weird to me,
- 39:06Speaker 1: and the fact that it's come down the professionals obviously
- 39:08Speaker 1: like the Seahawks this matchup. I just didn't really have
- 39:11Speaker 1: a feel for it. I was on the Green Bay side.
- 39:13Speaker 1: So if you throw the Seahawks money line in there,
- 39:16Speaker 1: you want to take out on these big ones in
- 39:17Speaker 1: Washington football team in the Jets, I get it. I
- 39:19Speaker 1: just like playing these big numbers because of the value
- 39:21Speaker 1: of the whole over the whole season. Yeah, guy, like
- 39:25Speaker 1: I had pins in my thumb. Oh yeah, I had
- 39:28Speaker 1: him taken out. I was I was balling the next day, really,
- 39:33Speaker 1: I mean literally crying, not falling. What was that like though?
- 39:37Speaker 1: Like did I feel normal? Like literally right afterwards? It's
- 39:41Speaker 1: fucking weird. It's really weird. But look, they'll shoot him up,
- 39:46Speaker 1: they'll wrap it, he'll play, He'll be fine. I'd rather
- 39:49Speaker 1: been on Russell Wilson seven days removed from Pins, Aaron
- 39:53Speaker 1: Rodgers off of COVID, having seen how challenging it can
- 39:57Speaker 1: be for people to come back from that, having not
- 40:00Speaker 1: act for two weeks. Yeah, that's I'm with you on that.
- 40:03Speaker 1: But I've been burned by these situations all year, So
- 40:07Speaker 1: I'll just I'll his pass. All right. We've done Survivor,
- 40:11Speaker 1: We've done Money Line Parlay, We've narrowed down our picks.
- 40:14Speaker 1: I will remind everybody watch Convinced Me Sunday mornings at
- 40:18Speaker 1: Action Network HQ eleven a m. Eastern. We'll dig in
- 40:21Speaker 1: a little deeper reminder for Scooch Roulette. I took Washington
- 40:24Speaker 1: plus nine and a half. Simon took the Saints plus
- 40:27Speaker 1: plus three. I'm kind of regretting my choice. Are big
- 40:32Speaker 1: balls better? The week is the Jets plus thirteen? Our
- 40:34Speaker 1: Simon says, it's Washington football team plus nine and a half.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Our foxhold is Saints plus three. I am Shaddon Melman
