  Speaker 1: Welcome to The Favorites, the podcast from the Action Network.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I am Chad Melman and I am going to be
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: joined by my best friend and professional better Simon Hunter.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: In a moment Simon and I haven't spoken since Sunday afternoon,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: when Simon heard me maybe in one of my most
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: vulnerable moments ever. Simon, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Uh,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it's a moment in which he heard me go from
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: euphoric to flum mixed to purely despondent and then basically
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: unable to speak. Um. It was just it was totally devastating.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking, of course about us having Arizona minus
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: two and a half in the Draft Kings pick up contest,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: watching Kyler Murray's mirror touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: give them a two point lead with two seconds left,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: only to realize when I was on the phone with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Simon Hunter that they were not going to kick the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: extra point. Simon, I think it was when I called
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you and you said, A, I can't believe we're calling
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: me and be they still got to kick the extra point.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: When I realized they weren't going to kick the extra point. Yeah,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that was They'll go down as a minute of hell
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in my life. They mixed the extra point and then
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Nick Mullen's driving the field through a pick all in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that one minute span up two of the games. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we're looking at four and one to two and three
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in a matter of one minute. That was brual Man.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So yesterday I got a text from my buddy uh Sylvie.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He is the host of co host of The Waddle
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and Sylvie Show UH in Chicago on ESPN Radio in Chicago,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and he asked me, he goes, does the Cardinals game
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: count as a bad beat because in reality, like they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: never should have been in it? And my answer was yes,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: because what happened before the extra point was miraculous and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it's not a bad beat like because of But that's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not what makes it the bad beat. The bad beat
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is that something pro forma, something that is just completely
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: standard that should happen didn't happen. And that's what makes
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it the bad beat, because the expectation at that point
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you're gonna cover and then you didn't. Missing the not
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: having the extra point kicked is what makes it a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bad beat. You don't get to not feel like you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: never were gonna win the game to begin with, because
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the touchdown was miraculous, right. That's like my buddy text
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: me the same thing goes, how is that a bad being?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, can you name me the other time team
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: kneeled down an extra point instead of kicking the extra
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: point because I can't so to me, if I can't
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: think of it, that's a bad beat. Like the same
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: thing where people are complaining so hard about the Cleveland line.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Of course bad beat man. The guy stepped out the one,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: but at the same time he was calling the backfield.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: He broke a couple of tackles, and he broke it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: down the sideline and he stepped out. It's like, that's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: what I get when people say there's some little guy
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in some basement in Switzerland that makes up these lines,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: who has the ultimate computer system. That's like the theory
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in Vegas. There's some guy in the middle of the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: mounds of Switzerland who puts these lines up, and that's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: who they steal these lines for it these sports books
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and off shore. I believe it. Man, this dude whoever
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: makes these lines, he's the goat. We had so many
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: good middle middle opportunities this week where like that Arizona game.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We're talking about you got the best of the number
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: at one and a half. A lot of the people
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: listen to this podcast and their competitions too. They had
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: one and a half with the Cardinals. That's a winner.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You took two and a half of the Bills, that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a winner. Like the fact that they're off on these
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: lines by half a point, it just shows we're like
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: we're in the dog days of football or the Vegas
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is really sharp with these lines, and if you're not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: getting the best of the number, it has a scary
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: off where Cleveland you're the wrong side the three and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a half. We talked about it that they don't cover hooks.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You're on the wrong side. Houston was the right side,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: so it was bad luck. But Scooch says, the right
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: side the winning side, my friend. As Scoot Chez. By
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the way, you mentioned, when's the last time someone didn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: kick an extra point? As Matt Mitchell, our producer, knows
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: this past week. But last week we had a video
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: go up. We do these videos called Great Moments in
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Gambling History. You put them on at Action Network HQ
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and UH. They're they're presented by DraftKings and um. We
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: did one last week, which was the most viewed one
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we've done so far this year. We've done four of them,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: which was the Bills were three and a half point
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: dogs against the Patriots. The Bills were up twenty one
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: seventeen with six seconds left, Drew Bledsoe through a hail
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: mary into the end zone. The refs called past interference,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: so there was no time left on timed down from
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the one yard line. The Patriots scored a touchdown. There
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: are u those betters are still like, well, it doesn't matter,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we got three and a half. They're going to kick
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the extra point. It's over. In protest, the Bills walk
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: off the field. Adam Vintary, the kicker for the Patriots
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: at the time, gets a direct snap, walks into the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: end zone. Patriots win by four, and that forever We'll
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: leave Pete Carroll to be the gambling gods. People love
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll just because of that moment. If you're exactly
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you remember it. Yeah, it's legendary. Hey, quick note from
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the producer here. That is the only time in NFL
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: history a pastor appearance call has been called im a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: hail mary. And as a builds fan, funk that game,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: funk the Patriots, and fuck Pete Carroll al right before
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we get to the recap. Before we get to the recap,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I just want to remind everybody, as you've heard professional Better,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Simon Hunter is joining the pod every week and together
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: we have entered the Draft Kings Pro Football pick Up
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: National Championship. We will decide what picks we should put
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in five picks every week before we get to that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: re cap. Though of this past week. One more thing,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: another reminder. We are bringing back the cash fee will
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: phrase that pays contest. We got a lot so many

• 6:59
  Speaker 1: know what we're going to be betting on in the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: draft Kings Pro Football, pick him National Championship. I went
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: over our notes, Simon, because we ended up going too
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and three this week. Okay, I went over our notes because,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: like I was so broken up on Sunday. You mentioned
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that Niners game as well, like they were on the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: verge of covering the back door and then they throw
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that interception in the end zone. The games we loved,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we loved the Bucks left out the Fins. I can't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: remember why. Oh, we left out the Fins because we
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: liked him. At two and a half, the line got
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to three, so it was a coin flip. Then in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the end between Washington and Denver for our last game,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: what happened here? This is your job. You gotta be
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: my savior. You said there was no way we'd put
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Denver in. You somehow let me course into put in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Denver in. We lost because I am an idiot man
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I just Denver just always has so much value. But
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Drew lock is just crap man throwing four interceptions in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that game after the game he had against Atlanta. Kid
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is not a pro quarterback. You will not be in
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this league. The Broncos are hoping they can go maybe
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: three and thirteen now and get a top pick because
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: he's not the answer. So it definitely hurt. And the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: funniest part was you texting me about the Washington That's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Chat, you're cursing my friend. I'm telling
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you you have the power. You text me about Washington.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: They're down twenty four to three. Guess what Washington does.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I scored twenty one straight points and cover that number
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that we would have got four and a half. So yeah, man,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it was brue especially when we talked to the fund.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I said, we literally went five and on the one pms.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough run here the four pms to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: get wins, and yeah, it didn't break our way. But
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at the same time, man, we went two and three.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: The best bets in the competition went one and four,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So overall we lost a little bit. We're still in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the top fifties. We didn't lose that much ground luckily.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: All Right, So right now, at what place are we in?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I'll have to look. We're fifty four last night, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I know a decent amount of people have the Bears.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Because the Bears, I think we're three and a half
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in the pickpool. So I'll have to look again. Jesus Christ,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we dropped from too. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We're only four behind the lead. That's what it's just,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so everything so close every week it counts, man, that's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: why we're like, yeah, that that hurts these we keep
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: losing these games by half a point. Like if you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: just add those three games this year we've lost by
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: half a point, we'd be literally back one game of
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the lead. So we just gotta keep dodging these really
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: bad weeks. As long as we'renna have own five, one
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and four, we're gonna be in the money come the end.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So I still got high hopes. I just had a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: sip of water and it was delicious. Uh. Last night
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: last night I went downstairs and my wife said to me,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: can you make it's a dickie sauce, you know, like
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the Greek yogurt sauce, and I'm like, I can do that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So I I got out the Greek yogurt, and I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: got out of cucumber, and I got out the lemon
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and the garlic, and I like graded the cucumber and like,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta squeeze out the wa or the cucumber, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I did in a bowl, and afterwards I put that
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: water in a picture and then put water and lemon
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in there. So today I'm having cucumber, lemon, lemon water,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and it's like it's it's healing. It's almost taking away
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the sting from the cardinals not covering that bet. What
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a breakdown that was, Oh my god, and I don't
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: know how to handle it. It's like I want to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: come at you for being such a nerd, but it
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: sounds amazing and delicious and I might have to make
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: some after we get done here. It's so refreshing and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it was so easy. All right, all right, listen, we
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: are in fifty four place. We got a lot to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: look forward to, we got a lot of ground to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: make up. We're only four games out of first. We're
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: still gonna make some money. And this thing, we got
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: our big balls better the week we got our Hornets
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: nest better the week, we got a Survivor Pick of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the week. We had the Packers last week. I was
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: never worried about it. It looked fantastic. I was mostly
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: worried that game was gonna go over. It did not, Simon,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Bears did not come through for you last night. We're
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: going to move on from that. The Cardinals are visiting
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and right now on DraftKings, the Cardinals are
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: three and a half point road dogs. What do we
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: think of that? Right now? You don't think about it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You just take the Seahawks. It's annoying that it's three
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and a half, um, but I'll take it. I got
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: this at five and a half, so in my mind,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I think I'm getting good value. I like the opening
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: number of four and a half. I took that. Now
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it's down to three and a half, I'll take Seahawks again.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It's just a situational play where the Seahawks. About two weeks,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they've they've looked terrible. They've had two close games with
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals. The Cardinals lost the game by three points,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and then they just won a game in dramatic fashion,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people think This is gonna be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like a spark to me. It's one of these the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Cardinals players today on Tuesday, you think they're really thinking
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: about the Seahawks. You still think they're thinking about Sunday,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and they already beat the Seahawks. The Seahawks need this
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: game desperately, especially on a two game slide. I'm happy
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to take the Seahawks here and back Russell Wilson. I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: know that the defense is played terrible for the Seahawks,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: but this just seems like a situational play where you
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: have to take the Seahawks at home here, and I'm
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: gonna take them. You bet the Seahawks at five and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: a half. You bet him again at four and a half. No,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I bet him at four and a half. I said,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I had him at five and a half. Of my Yeah, okay,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you've got empower later to five and a half five
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and a half as well. Uh, you're listen, you're against
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the wise guys in this. The money has been coming
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in obviously. You can see that the money came in
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: on this on the Cardinals at five and a half
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and four and a half. So you bet the Seahawks
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: at the middle of the number. Yeah, I'm just I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: just wanted to get it early because I was worried
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the public is gonna come in on it. But that's fine, man,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It's not even the sharp money. If you just look
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: at the numbers. It's every week these Thursday road teams
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: have been covering, and I think people are just riding
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the trend and they're thinking themselves, I'm getting three and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: a half, four and a half, five and a half
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: with a road team here, why wouldn't I take it?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So that's why to me, it feels like this is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the sharp side taking the Seahawks. It is not everyone's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: gonna take this side just because they've been so bad.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I think I'm with you. I'm with the Seahawks in mind,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: if I can get the Seahawks, like if this continues
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to move down, and it could with the money and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the and the best coming in on the Cardinals, I'm
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: gonna wait and see if I can get the Seahawks
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: at minus three. And I mean you could buy right now.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be terrible value, Probably be minus one at minus three,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: which isn't terrible. Um. In my mind, if this goes
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to my student competition, this might be our first Thursday
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Play of the Year. We might have to take this one.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, you know what, We're in fifty
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: four place, there's six weeks left in the competition. It's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: trying to make some It's time for the game theory
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to reveal itself. I'm with you. Were are We're playing
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit of The Queen's Gambit. Oh, Chad, my man.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I finally watched it. So good, right, so good. I mean,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin the ending for people, but
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that whole thing was kind of corny where it was like, oh,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the Americans are helping each other. This is so wonderful.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It was like this, chicks, hey, don't ruin it. Don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: ruin it. But I gotta tell you, that's exactly what
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I said to my wife. We were sipping our cucumber
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and lemon water. We're watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and I said to her, this, this ending is so
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not in line with the spirit of the show. Like
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the show like had an edge and it was dark
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and like like it wasn't a show in which it
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: had naturally happy endings, and like for this to be
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the ending of the show, it almost like she went soft.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody in the show went soft, Like it just sort
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of it disappointed me. It totally disappointed me. But I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: love this show regardless. She's amazing. You know, the actress game,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: but she was amazing. Stories were amazing. The obsessiveness, I
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you, the obsessiveness with chess reminded me a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: lot about like people's obsessiveness with gambling and like gambling
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: culture and sort of how you think about the moves
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and the maneuvers and all that kind of stuff. It
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: was fascinating. Yeah, and it's one of those where we
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: all went through a chess phase. I don't know if
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you either went to summer camp or you and your
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: friends used to just when you're in like six seventh
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: grade just played chess for like two months straight. We
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: all went through that phase. When you're watching, it just
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: brings it back where it was like, man, this is
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: just it is such a beautiful, simple game. And the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: fact that they nerd out on the show where they're
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: breaking it down, which is like hilarious. Listen to their like,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: oh and in nineteen thirty three he moved to queen
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: square four and it's like what is happening? But like
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the problem with gambling. It's been underground for so long,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: we don't really we have a couple of legends, like guys,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: we've written books Legends of the sports betting world. Well
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we don't have it because it's been underground for so
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: long that like we don't have these guys. So now
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that's what's cool about nowadays it's becoming legalize. You're starting
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to hear more names, and it is cool here in
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: all these like old legendary stories and you're definitely right
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: where the following the exact same people obsess about people
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: really good at sports betting, So it's it's pretty pretty
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: cool mixing the two and talking about that. I mean,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: some people would say, you're talking to one of the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: legends who's sort of defined sports betting from mainstream culture,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: apprecially saying that about me chat, you're a minch. You're
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a real minch. Like looking in the mirror, the Titans
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: on the road at the Ravens six and a half
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: point dogs, the bets of the money coming in on
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans smash the Ravens, smash the Ravens under
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a touchdown in this game, Go talk me off it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I hate it because he has looked bad Lamar and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: their offense looks so staggnant right now. But this is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: this we have to play the situation. Will buy low
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: team and the Ravens that they've played two road games
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that won one, they look terrible the other one just
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: because of the mon soon, and we've seen it. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: feel like Tannehill and not that he's turned back into
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a pumpkin, but like I don't have faith in him
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: putting putting money behind him anymore. Where Lamar, I still
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: have the idea that back my mind this this guy,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: if he has a lead, he's gonna win. But the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: statistic I saw he's oh and six now when he's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: down ten in any game. So that's one of those
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: where I'm happy to take the Ravens. And if you're
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: if you're a lot better, as soon as the Ravens
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: get down ten, you have to ride the train. You
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: have to take the Titans live. Because this is this
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: is getting to a point now with Lamar that we
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: he's had real stinker games and he loses the good
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: teams that that one we have to kind of throughout
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the Patriots because of the weather. This is not a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: good team in my mind the Titans, and I'm happy
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: riding with you and taking the mind the six and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a half. Alright, I have no concern like that to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: me is a locket in pick right now. All right,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I'll put it in. Well, let's talk about on Sunday.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Panthers minus one, minus one and a half right now
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: at DraftKings at home against the Lions. Christian McCaffrey doubtful.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater uh left the game with a right knee injury.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know his status right now. Um, there's no
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: fucking way I'm taking the Lions on the road like
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: in a gaming which is essentially winner wins. Yeah, I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: cool with pass and I'm definitely going to line side
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: in this where you're you're exactly right that the they're
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: finally banged up. The Panthers, they have too many injuries
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: for me to back. I would love to take them
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: here as a home team, but I can't do it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And if they're gonna have Golladay back on Detroit, I'm
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: happy to take Detroit. So I'm with you. Let's just
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: put let's put on the side. I want to put
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: this one in. Well, it's interesting to me that you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: like the Lions though, Yeah, it's just situational, where like
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: if I want to back and banged up Anthers team,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't feel like it's smart form. Where
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I had this line of minus two and a half
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: for the Detroit I thought this was gonna hang when
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: they put it up just because of the injury. It's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: interesting where I feel like they're saying here that Bridgewater
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna play, or maybe there's not that much
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: difference between Bridgewater and the backup QB. But I can't
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: do I would have to take the lines here, especially
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: if Teddy's not gonna practice in all week. Oh my god,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you know what's going to happen. I know we're putting
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: them there. I hate it. Fucking Sunday is gonna come
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: around and you're gonna text me and lie by the way,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: here's what happens on Sunday. On Sunday morning, when you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: usually texted me, I met my kitchen counter and I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: getting ready for the eleven am show that we do
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: on at Action Network HQ called The Innvinced Me, Convince Me,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: where like Chris Raybon and from the Action Network podcast
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and Action Network Senior writer and Matthew Friedman from the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Action Network and Sean Corner from the Action Network. They
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: all try to convince me of the side the total
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: in the player prop I should make. It's a great show, right,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm usually prepping when you're doing that, And the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: mistake I make is I don't bring my notes from
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: my office down to the third down to the first floor,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and so when you're texting me these things, I don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: remember everything we talked about my notes in front of me,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: so I know, like the lions are gonna be there.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna like, yeah, that sounds good, let's do it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna forget how much I hate the lines
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, you should just change my name
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: in your context to have a chance to win a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: million dollars. So every time I call you a text
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you you'll be like, Okay, let me go get everything
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in place here so I can give my best chance
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to win a million dollars. Yeah, like that time we
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: went one and fourth. Hey, now the Steelers are on
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the road at the Jaguars nine and a half point favorites.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: This is an ugly number for me. Um, I'd like
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to hear what you have this power rated at bets
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and money all coming in on the Steelers, but like,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: this team hasn't looked good. I had this at ten,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: it's ten and a half, so I'm getting value on
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the Jags. The thing that worries me is I've had
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: two straight weeks now. I took the jag Is against Houston,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they covered that on a little back door. Took them
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: against green Bay because we talked about on the show
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the fourteen that's a lot of points and it ended
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: up coming down to the wire. I think that what
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: they lose by four and again, like I don't want
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to do it, but we gotta take the Jacks here
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: time and a half against the Pittsburgh team that if
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we just go through the history of them and the Jacks,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: why does it feel like every time something happens with
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the Jags either beat him or keep the games close.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, we all remember that Bordles year, that Bortles
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is not a good quarterback. He went to Pittsburgh against
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Levian Bell and Antonio Brown and he outscored him. I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: think they beat the Pittsburgh that you're like forty four
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to like thirty three or something crazy like that. So
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: on my mind, it just seems like it's one of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: those teams that they just the Patriots of the Pittsburgh
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: always has problems with the Patriots and the Jaguars, And
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I'll take the ten and a half
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of the Jacks. But I don't feel great about it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: But it's just a situational play. But it's also like
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin as a coach, his team's underperformed when they
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: are going against really bad teams. We saw it against
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, it's you're so right where maybe we
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: should just put it in because we've been missing out
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: in the Jackson. We've been getting good numbers and we've
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: just been too scared to put him in. So maybe
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: we put down the side as and maybe play with
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the Sunda. Patriots UH on the road two point favorites
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Not of a sudden, the Patriots
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: are a juggernaut. UH. Two point favorites at the Texans.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: The only reason against me, pause is the Patriots have
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: had the Texas number number for I can't remember how
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: many years. But how do we not take the Texas
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: as a home dog here against the Patriots team coming
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: off a huge prime time win in a game that
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe the weather wasn't the big factor in it,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: but I can't see New England stringing together a lot
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of wins here that like this would be their third
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: win in a row. I know that Technas are horrible
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and they've played horrible against Cleveland, but it's hard for
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: me not to take the Texans here. And I'm hoping
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: this number gets the three because then it's an automatic
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: play in with Texans. If this is plus three, you
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: have to take the Texans. I think my challenge with
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the Texans this year is they're awful. Well, yeah, they're
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: just a bad football team. They're bad, Yeah, They're just
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: all around bad. And it's like I've always been a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: huge Texans backer and and like aired on the side
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of misery when it comes to betting on the Texans,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: But this year I've been avoiding it and my Sundays
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: have been a lot more pleasant. I'm with you on that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: That's the hardest part about that division is they have
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the Jags in the Houston and it they're both like
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: one and seven, Like, how do we know the Culture
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Titans are even good teams? It's like in that division,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it's it's brutal, right now, you know what, Well, obviously
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: set me up for the transition. Here the Philadelphia Eagles
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: on the road at the Browns. The Browns are three
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: point favorites. Numbers gone down from three and a half
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to three. The Eagles are dreadful. The Browns could barely
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: beat the Texans, like we got bad and worse. Here
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Eagles are awful. And this is the classic situational play
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: where you take the Eagles there. Whenever they play good
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: teams on the road where everyone leaves it for dead,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: they somehow when these games outright. So in my mind,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: taking the Eagles here, I loved it. At three and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a half the sharpest. Obviously come in because I'm the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: public is going to be all over the Browns this week,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and I have to take the Eagle. Especially if it's
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: three and a half. You're setting us up for the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: most miserable Sunday before Thanksgiving. Ever, like this day is
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: gonna fucking suck. We're gonna bet the Jags, the Texans
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. Are you kidding me? This is how we're
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: gonna win a million dollars. This is how we're going
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: into It's it's game theory season. Man, we gotta be
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: playing some fucking chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: And if chess means like the Jags, the Texans, and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna be our pawn, our rook, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: our night, I don't know if I can live with that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: That's why this game is a fucking hornet and us.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: My friend, you gotta walk in there with me. WHOA, whoa?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Did we walk into the hornets nest? I'm walking to
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a fucking hornets nest? All right? Now, be my companion.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: No one's walking in with us. No one wants to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: bet on the Eagles here, and we're due for a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: week of these ugly dogs like winning and covering out right.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: There's it's been too steady of these favorites just winning
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: out right, like the Joe Schmo betters, the guy that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: do these ten team parlays, of all the money lines
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: they've been cashing, because these favorites have just been winning
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: out right. So I'm ready for an ugly week. This
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: is gonna be a good dog week. I got a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: good feeling. I feel like this is the week where
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: we're putting our chips on the table. We're just going
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: all in and we're saying we are going for the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: win this week, and we're gonna choose all the teams
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: that we know everyone ahead of us is not gonna pick,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and we're trying to make up. It's like we're going
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: for the home run. We are trying to make it
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: all up in one week. Not at all. These are
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: just you're in good value here. This is this is
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: how it gets late in the season where you gotta
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: fade public perception. You can't really play what happened last week.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: You got to think about the whole piece and the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: team we're looking at. And in my mind, everyone this
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: week in our competition, they're all going to be on
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the Browns, They're all gonna be on the Patriots. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: it is game three where if we hit these ones,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: these are double ups where we can get good gaining
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: on these guys ahead of us. So I'm with you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It's it's ugly. I don't feel great about it, but
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I have to play these numbers because they're good lines.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: What you're saying is we got to see the whole board.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Gotta little West wing reference for the fans out there.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Next up Atlanta at New Orleans. I mean who knows
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: what's happening with Drew Brees. So let's assume that he's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: not gonna be playing for the next two weeks. That's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: actually information that we know. The question is Sean Payton
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: has said he won't say who's starting, Jamis or Taysom Hill.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: How do you rate this game? Let's assume it's gonna
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: be Jamis who gets the majority of the snaps? What
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: do you have this number at? How can I power
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: rate this? It's impossible to know without the quarterback, the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: most important position on the field. When I had to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: sign with Drew Brees, I had at minus seven. This
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: is always a battle. I would have been really happy
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to take the Falcons because I probably would have been
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: up there. But with Winston, if he's really gonna be
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the starter, we know what Jamis is. Jamis is terrible.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He might have these moments of brilliance where he throws
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a deep ball that's really good, and hey, maybe he'll
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: show up in this game his first game as a starter,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and play well. But in my mind, I had to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: take the Falcons here. It's a divisional game. Winston is
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the quarterback that should be minus three. I'm happy to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: take the plus five right now. Well, now you just
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: kind of convinced me and maybe think maybe we gotta
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: put the Falcons in here too. We might have to.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We'll keep it on the list here, but I'm excited
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to have a Sunday where we get to add the Falcons,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: my least favorite team in NFL history, uh to our
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: quest to win one million dollars. Nothing would make me
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: happier than a sunday on the couch sitting with my
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: fourteen year old son, with him watching me breakdown in
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: ways that you cannot possibly conceive and would never want
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: one of your children to see. Bye bye. I was
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: betting on the Falcons. I'll give you one good team
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: this week. I can promise you that you can, yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: one good team that you're just like, Okay, at least
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I have this one good team this week. A big
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: balls better the week now because it's gonna it's not
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: gonna take that much ball is the better? That's how
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: good this team is. How are the Jags not our
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: big balls better the week? Did we skip over that?
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Should we be making because I want to give a winner.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people like that. I don't
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: want to say how much money I lost in that
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: forty nine years game, buddy, But like truth, that was
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: a big bet for your your guy here, and situationally
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: it was smart. But the referees, the special teams. I mean,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I can't believe how many games got dictated by special
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: teams last week. And it feels like three different games
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: dictated by special teams. And we're like, we haven't really
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: had any of that this whole year. So yeah, you
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: can read it all right, man, you can read it
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: all right. It doesn't matter. It's gambling. Well listen, if
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you don't want to make the Jags the big balls
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: better the week, we gotta we gotta come up with one. Soon.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: We got the Bengals on the road, one and a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: half point dog to the Washington football team. I spoke
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: too soon, Alex Smith came back to bite me. What
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: did you take the ugly game? This is like, might
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: be on a few games I don't bet this year, Like,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: if I'm gonna end up betting it, I'll probably end
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: up on the Bengals. But man, I hate both both
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: these teams. I just like there's just so many holes
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: in different spots. And we talked about last week. I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: talked about Burrow hitting a rookie wall and it looked
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: like him and Herbert both hit one last week, And
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: in my mind, you really shouldn't take a rookie on
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the road. But I don't know. I would stay away,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: like I can't. I can't give an US an opinion
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: on it because I honestly had it that minus two
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: for Washington, they're the better team. They're probably the right side.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: But after after last week with Alex Smith, and I
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: don't like ben on Alex Smith. That's why I don't
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: want to do it again because it was just so
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: unenjoyable last week betting on him. Alex Smith, I think
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is a professional quarterback and he has succeeded in every
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: single spot he's been in. He just came out of
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a game where he threw passes and brought his team
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: back from down. The Washington football team has an incredibly
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: good defensive line. They have a good enough running game
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to control the line of scrimmage. Joe Burrow looked like
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a wreck against the Steelers, and he was a little
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: big kimpy exactly, So why wouldn't you take Everyone's gonna
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: take washing that? So to make me nervous, it's like
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: do I want it back? Yeah, but right they're not
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: going to take washing it right now and telling you
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the money and the bets are coming in on the Bengals.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Gonna why because everyone is still thinking about Washington as Washington.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: They're not thinking about then it's the team that could
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: be sort of playing its way into the playoffs in
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the second half of the year. Whereas everybody else is thinking, Oh,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: it's Joe Burrow and like he might be Rookie of
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the year. They're not. They didn't watch that game against
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the Steelers. That game didn't get any time, So like
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: they're just thinking Joe Burrow came back and it is
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: like the best quarter best young quarterback in the game.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I like. I like Washington here, all right, that's chats,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that's chat. You want to make that the big balls
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: better the week because that takes some balls to bet
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: on the pirate the one legged man. Alex Smith, Oh,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: that is not right. This man, this man is courage
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: big balls better the week. We're going with Washington. I
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: can't believe I just talked to myself into Washington. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: hate this team. Something's in that water man. We're doing it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: We're doing it, Washington, don't take it out. Oh my god,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: that was a mistake and we're gonna have like the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: worst Sunday. Ever. Let's get to the late games. We
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: got a slate of late games, and we got my
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: favorite quarterback on my favorite team to bet in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: NFL too, and the Dolphins three and a half point
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: favorite on the road against the Broncos. We gotta pass
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: on this game. This is a because A. It's a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Bilow Cell high, which means we have to take the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Broncos and we're not allowed to take the Broncos. So
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: this is a no brainer. Everything says take to take
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins in this game. I mean take the Broncos
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: in this game, and we're not allowed to. Yeah, in
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: my own pos, my own pickpoles, all this to the Dolphins.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I don't care that it's a trap and that all
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the money will be coming on the Dolphins and this
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: is the worst time to battle the Dolphins. Uh, as
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: long as Drew lock is the quarterback, I'm with you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I will not be putting money on Denver, but this
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you're on with that. This is you gotta play the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Broncos here, but we're not touching it. Because we're both
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: on Miami. We're we're done, We're done. What do you
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: think of the Jets visiting the Chargers and the fact
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that the Jets we're ten point dogs when the line opened,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and the money has come in on the Jets and
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: it's been moved to eight and a half. Those idiots, now,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I'm kidious. I don't know they're they're probably just thinking themselves.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: It's Joe Flacco verse, a rookie QB who who looked
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: like he said that wall. But in my mind, if
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: boasts back him and Ingram on those two d n s,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Flacco is going to be a statue back there. Um,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to take the Chargers, but I would not
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: put this in the competition. It's just a lot of
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: points to be laying with them. But this year we've
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: we've talked about with Joe Flacco. We just don't think
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback. I think he had his game
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: of the year last week and he still couldn't win
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that game. So I'm happy to take the Chargers this week.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, we're not doing We're not putting this
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: game in the contest. No, I'm just saying Betton Wise
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: all right, you can take the Chargers. We listen if
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you have. By the way, if you have a better
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: big balls better the week than Washington, feel free to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: overrule me. That's I'm a benevolent leader that way. That's fair. Yeah,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, Like, if you're telling me that
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the Cowboys at plus seven and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a half against the Vikings, then I might have to reconsider.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: The Packers are plus two and a half on the
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: road at Indie. M m uh ah. How do we
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: not take the Packers? Oh? I was just gonna say,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta take the Colts. I can't. I can't do it, man.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: After that, because they had such a big win and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the Packers played so bad that situational it just feels
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: like this is gonna be a really easy bounce back
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: game for Green Bay where they line up right against
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the Colts. Coults are good against the run. I think
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay scheme is gonna do well against this
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: cold front scheme, and I think they'll be able to
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: run it on and I think Roger's able to pass
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it on. So in my mind, I think I'm buying
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: low here on the Packers. I think I'm getting a
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: good number of plus two and a half. I hate
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: betting against the home team at less than three. It's
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: been good to you this year though, like this year
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: has been weird with the COVID where there hasn't been
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: a home field. So these road teams under two and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a half, they've been winning and covering. So it's one
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of those where I'm with you. Normally i'd probably play
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the Colts here, but I have to play the Packers
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: after last week. I also you mentioned the matchup. The
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Colts defense can fly around, the Colts defense can get
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback, and they created a lot of turnovers. Yeah,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I can't doubt that. But at the same time, it's
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Rivers man like. He played really well last week, so
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting this week he'll play the crap because he's
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: been doing it all year. He'll have a good week
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that a bad week. What do you have a power
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: rated at? Had a power rate of minus one Packers,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So that's what I mean. I think that. Yeah, I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: had them at a road favorite, so I think I'm
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: getting good value on the Packers, all right. Would this
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: be the Cowboys at the Vikings seven and a half
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: point underdogs? Would this be balls better the week if
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I hadn't preempted you with the Washington football team. No, honestly,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I was gonna make it. At the end of the show.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: It was probably gonna do it. Make it Houston because
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's so ugly, everyone's gonna hate it. That's why
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I was gonna take such big balls and make that
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: bet with Houston. But I'm cool with it being Washington
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: because like in my in my mind, you're you're exactly right,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: like my numbers are saying that's the right side, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm overthinking where I don't want to take them
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: because I just say back in Alex Smith. So I'm
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: good with that. But this game here, I can't do it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I cannot take the Cowboys. They they had their everything
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: game against Pittsburgh. They've had a bye week now most
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: people are gonna think they're gonna they'll be they'll help
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the young QB having more time getting right, getting us
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to the offense. I can't do it. I just I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: could see Dalvin Cook just destroying one of the worst
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: run defenses in football in the Cowboys. So I'll take
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the high number of the Vikings and I know they're
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: trying to scare me off with it, but I'm gonna
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: take this one with the Vikings. At home, we look there,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: cowboys are saying that Andy Dalton might play. That's even
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: worse for them. He's horrible. So you you like it
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: even more Dalton plays, You like the Vikings even more.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I would that guy as soon as a little thing
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: goes wrong. We've all seen her for all these years.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: He just falls apart and they're old lines, still has
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: ton of issues, and I just I can't back the Cowboys.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I know it's it's a smart side to take it
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: because it's such a big number, and Kirk Cousins really
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: can't cover big numbers like this, But this is more
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of a bet on Minnesota control in the game of
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the run game. So I like Dalvin Cook to get
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: right in this game. I like the Vikings here. We
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: have a text chain a bunch of us at the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Action Network. Matt Mitchell's on it, and last night we
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: were texting about the Bears game. The Bears were up
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: thirteen ten, and someone said to me, what the fund
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: is wrong with this team? And I said, bet the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Viking is live right now, because they're gonna win this
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: game by ten, and they came close to ten. They
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: certainly want enough to cover up by I think in
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that moment they were they were half a point underdog,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: so you clearly would have won. Um. I like this
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Vikings team. This Viking seems to me, and we've talked
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: a lot about this. Actually, Stucky and Raybond on the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Action Network NFL podcast have talked a lot about this,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Like the Vikings were gonna be one of those teams
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: that early in the year, it was gonna be sort
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: of training camp because Mike Zimmer didn't know what he
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: had on defense. He needed time to figure it out.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Now we's had that four weeks they went into the bye.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Since the bye, they've won three straight games there, four
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and five. You and I talked about betting them for
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl, and I believe we both got a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: future on them. I don't know if they're gonna win
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but I certainly liked their chances to
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs right now. Yeah, And that was actually funny.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Someone sent me a photo from I guess we'd like
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: posted up and maybe it was like May and we
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: gave out a bunch of bets and the comments are
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: hilarious because people are just so stupid on Twitter. They're
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: like yelling at us about how don't we worry about
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: talking about the Ravens like under win total and the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to win that division because I think we gave
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: out a plus like four plus four fifty maybe Pittsburgh
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: to win that division. And it's just like funny where
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: now we're at this point the season. I think we
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: both got Cardinals a like fifty to one or forty
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: five to want to win the Super Bowl. We've never
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: felt better. It's like that's a live that's a live
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: team in the NFC where all these teams, they all
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: have so many glaring weaknesses. It's such a toss up
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: year that I'm really hoping they don't do these playoff
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: formats because there's some of these tickets you have to
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: read or find print. Say they do move it to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: eight teams make the playoffs or whatever weird thing they
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: might do, they might cancel some of your future bets.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: And this is something people need to be aware of
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that it depends on the casino and where you bet it.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Some of them might cancer your future. But if they
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: change the playoffs, because that technically changes what they gave
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: out and changes the odds. So it'll be something to
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: keep your eye on. But I'm feeling good right now.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: There are futures, but are Bears. I bet they're over
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: of wins. What the hell? Man, they're five and two, now,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: they're five and five. Now I gotta sweat the seven
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and seven and a half. This is this is brutal
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: with these Bears. Man, I don't I said to my
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: in a different text change last night when minting the Bears,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I was texting with my buddy Matt, and uh, I said,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: this is a five and eleven team that's gonna go
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: higher air at the enemy. I actually want to hate
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: that move. I just I just love imagining you like
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: stopping up your stairs, going into your little office here
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: and ripping down your Bears flag and being like, that'll
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: show them. I believe the text The text last night was, uh,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: you know, we're like, is this is this the worst
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: offense that we've ever seen in our history of Bears fandom?
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: And I wrote that one first down since the second
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: quarter and fourteen total yards, it could be. And then
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the next text is after Nick Foles went down, he
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: just wrote back, I think he's dead, and I wrote back,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I wrote back, seriously, look, his foot is twitching like
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: he's dead. And and then we were like, this is
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the most Bears thing ever to actually kill their quarterback
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game, in which they're like
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: flailing away. Um. Yeah, And then we were glad he
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: was alive. I watched the second like I passed out
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: early because I had to get up to do stuff
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: this morning for obviously the podcast, And like, I watched
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the second half this morning. How do you not get
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: an offensive touchdown at home against the Vikings defense that
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: has no names on the d line, They got no
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: names in the secondary, and they might have like one
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: good safety who's been in the league forever. It's oh
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Man Bears, Bears, Bears, because that defense is such a waste,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: like one of the best defenses in league and it's
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: just wasted away. But we can we can move on, buddy,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I want to keep reliving the pain with you. That
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: is a generational comment right there, all right, Chiefs at Raiders.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are six and a half point favorites on the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: road in Las Vegas. Speaking of Eric b Enemy, future
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: coach of the Chicago Bears, I don't care that it's
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the public play of the week. I want to thank
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Vegas ahead of time for moving this down from seven.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Give me the Chiefs. Give it to me, Give it
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: to me, Give it to me. I love it. After
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: a bye week we talk all the time, Andy Reid.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: After a bye week, he just cover his baby. Don't
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: think about it. Six and a half Chiefs already lost
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Raiders that supposedly that a victory lapse
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: around their stadium and busses. Give it to me, the Chiefs, man,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the adjusted line to I'll take down mind's
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: tend and a half them. I love this with the Chiefs,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: they're gonna it feels like they're gonna beat the crap
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: out of this Raiders team. That's an interesting play. Would
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: you want this to be in the contest over the
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: crap tactics selection we have so far? I promise you won't.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Good team. This is it, baby, this is the best
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: team in football. We're gonna have to decide, like who
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: who's potentially in our top five? Then? Uh Rams visiting
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. The Rams are three three and a half
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: point underdogs in Tampa. Monday Night Football gotta play the
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Bucks here. Looking at this game, these teams match up well,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: but the Rams just lost their all pro left tackle
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: and what do we know about golf. Golf cannot handle pressure,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and in that game, after that tackle went down, they
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: really didn't do much on offense. So in my mind,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I know the Buccaneers just played the perfect game and
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: all offense, but I think this is gonna be more
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: of a defensive game for the Buccaneers. So promptime game,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady against Golf. We all know the history here.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: We all we're all gonna be taking the Tampa Bay.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure to be a public play by the
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: end of the week. But as long as it stays
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: under five, I'm happy to take the Buccaneers. Are we
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Are we ready to commit to a Monday night game?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: If we're ready to commit to a Thursday night game, Yeah,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: that's Is that too much for us in one week? Yeah?
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: It's uh, that's a lot. I mean that basically means
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: we're in agony from Thursday until Monday. Yeah, so we'll
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: text about it. But I can't see us fund the
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Monday because I like that we're done on Sundays. I
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: prefer it honestly. All right, so right now the games
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: that we love and and and again all subject to change. Seahawks,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: if we can get it minus three, we are willing
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: to bet a Thursday night game Ravens minus six and
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: a half Jags plus ten Texans plus three, which would
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: be our alternative big Balls Better the Week if if
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I'll get to it. We also like the Eagles plus
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: three against the Browns. That is our hornets nest. We
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: are walking right into it. The Big Balls Better the
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Week courtesy of Chad Millman, Washington minus one and a half.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: We also like the Chiefs minus six and a half.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: So and then we got the box. But you know what,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the bucks out because we don't want to
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: bet Monday Night. And we finally come to everyone's favorite segment,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Our Survivor, Pick Survivor Pick. Oh god, this is a
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: tough week man, where they're begging us to take the
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Vikings and they're begging us to take the Chargers, and
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: there's zero chance to use either of them. Yet what
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: do you want to do? Many? We want to keep
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: our trend going where we just fade like the Jets.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: We know for a fact they're trying to tank. They're
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: trying to get this normal and pick. There's no doubt
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: in my mind, especially after watching that Patriots game. They
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: had that game every which way and they completely gave
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: it to him at the m there. So I don't
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: hate taking the Chargers. This is a week we have
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to get ready using them. It's a little scary, but
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: in my mind it's one of those we have to
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: go against Flaccus though, right, you like the Vikings better.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I have so much more faith in the Vikings. All right,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: that should be all right. Everyone going bet Cowboys moneyline
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and we'll take the Chargers in our pitful. I'm just kidding.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: You are cursed. That you are cursed. I'm not cursed.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I live a fantastic life. You know what it is.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: It's not cursed. It's it's like I've been so lucky
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: in every other way that the betting gods. This is
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: how they choose that, This is how they choose to
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: inflict pain on me. No, No, that's the bearst QB. Yeah,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: that's how they gets you. That's that's right. Well, that's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: been a lifetime of pain and agony, and now I
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: feel badly I've passed it onto my My fourteen year
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: old was watching the game and like than just being
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: on third and long, He's like, what the fuck are
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you doing? So yeah, all right, we can just send
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: it out to the Twitter folks and we'll put the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: vikings of their chargers because everyone's gonna be in between
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: these two and that we're so do for people to
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: get knocked out these survivor pools. Man, this is like
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: getting crazy at this point. So we're gonna coin flip.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: One of these teams is losing. I feel like we
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: know that for a fact. We gotta go with the vikings.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll making an executive decision right now, putting
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: all the blame one chat. I like this feeling. I
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: feel I feel right now I'm taking full responsibility perfect

  Speaker 1: I can own it, all right. So I gave everybody
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: our picks once again, running them down. These are the games.
