- 3:02Speaker 1: I will never be back in Kentucky and Lexington the

- 3:08Speaker 1: least this form. Me and Chad talked all the time
- 3:10Speaker 1: about you know, live show. We'll try to work on
- 3:14Speaker 1: something for our northeast. People got complaints about that. But
- 3:18Speaker 1: as far as me being in lexingtonder in the football season,
- 3:21Speaker 1: this is a baby. The only time I'll be there
- 3:23Speaker 1: is for the Breeders Cups. So yeah, if you want
- 3:24Speaker 1: to come meet us, we'll be there Friday. Maybe Chad's
- 3:28Speaker 1: Chad's dipping out. Maybe in that night that city you're
- 3:30Speaker 1: gonna buy me a drink. Will be a good time.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I'll be there Thursday, I'm leaving Friday. You'll be there
- 3:35Speaker 1: Thursday night, Friday night, uhfame, We'll be hanging out with
- 3:40Speaker 1: our good friends Stucky from BBOC and the Action Network podcast.
- 3:44Speaker 1: He lives in Lexington, his wife runs a great brother.
- 3:47Speaker 1: There will be all over town on Thursday night. Dude,
- 3:50Speaker 1: listen to me, were laughing it. What's the name of
- 3:52Speaker 1: the bar? The stagger in its stagger in, We gotta listen.
- 4:03Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears have made a lot of moves in
- 4:05Speaker 1: the last forty eight hours. They got rid of ro
- 4:07Speaker 1: Kuan Smith. They just in the last ten minutes before
- 4:10Speaker 1: we came on air, traded for Chase Claypool. So I
- 4:13Speaker 1: got a text from a guy went to high school with.
- 4:17Speaker 1: His name is John gald who listens to the podcast.
- 4:20Speaker 1: He was upset about it wasn't upset, but he was
- 4:22Speaker 1: commenting on the Bears run defense. And my comment to
- 4:24Speaker 1: him was, I don't give a short about the Bears
- 4:26Speaker 1: run defense. Since the bye, they seem to have figured
- 4:30Speaker 1: out better ways to use justin fields. And the last
- 4:33Speaker 1: forty eight hours the Bears have traded to Ray, traded
- 4:37Speaker 1: away ro Kwan Smith, who they were going to have
- 4:39Speaker 1: to pay a shipload of money too, who's a great tackler,
- 4:42Speaker 1: but he's tackling a lot of guys because the Bears
- 4:44Speaker 1: defense sucks and he happens to be in the place
- 4:45Speaker 1: where you're supposed to make the most tackles. So I'm
- 4:48Speaker 1: not like looking over my shoulder thing, Oh my god,
- 4:50Speaker 1: we're getting rid of in the guy as an all
- 4:51Speaker 1: Pro linebacker when he hasn't really been an all Pro
- 4:54Speaker 1: linebacker in his career and wants a lot of money.
- 4:57Speaker 1: So I was thrilled about that trade, the Chase Claypool trade.
- 5:02Speaker 1: That one's got some lex because now you are starting
- 5:07Speaker 1: to give justin fields the weapons. You can't get a quarterback,
- 5:11Speaker 1: not give him an offensive line, make bad play calls,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and then not give him weapons and start saying he's
- 5:15Speaker 1: no good. And this is the argument for the Bears
- 5:17Speaker 1: that if they have done so many times in the past.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I like this move, like it a lot. Doesn't change
- 5:22Speaker 1: anything for this season, but I love it for the future.
- 5:25Speaker 1: For the season. Changes for me is that now he's
- 5:26Speaker 1: get to put working with him during the season, going
- 5:28Speaker 1: to an off season. And I mean, Claypool should be
- 5:31Speaker 1: your number one. We think he has a talent to
- 5:33Speaker 1: be the number one. Now he should be when he's
- 5:35Speaker 1: the main focus. But again, you guys are gonna have
- 5:38Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars now freed up. Right, you're not
- 5:40Speaker 1: gonna pay all these guys and you just got rid
- 5:42Speaker 1: of so you have a bunch of money freed up.
- 5:44Speaker 1: The hope is you do what the Bengals have tried
- 5:46Speaker 1: to do. You buy some offensive linemen. But unlike the Bengals,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you're hopefully they can work. But it's it's what other
- 5:53Speaker 1: options to the Bears have to do. They need to
- 5:54Speaker 1: spend the money surround Justin Fields the best talent that Ken.
- 5:57Speaker 1: So I like it, you guys, GM he'd drafted well
- 6:00Speaker 1: with not have that many picks on your defensive side,
- 6:03Speaker 1: keeping the young guys right, that's what he's doing now.
- 6:05Speaker 1: He's getting guys, young guys more chances to play. And
- 6:07Speaker 1: what yea, I just nailed on the head. It's like,
- 6:10Speaker 1: I love what you're seeing from the Bears. You don't
- 6:12Speaker 1: want to make the playoffs. If you're a Bears fan,
- 6:14Speaker 1: you kind of want to just see Justin Fields improve
- 6:17Speaker 1: and that's what you're seeing right now. So yeah, exciting,
- 6:19Speaker 1: exciting times for the Chad and the Bears. Now we
- 6:22Speaker 1: can talk about some winning teams like the Eagles and
- 6:24Speaker 1: the Bills, like being Matt Mitchell have I just want
- 6:27Speaker 1: the Bears. I just want the Bears to be good
- 6:31Speaker 1: enough to be optimistic. And also there's a report right
- 6:35Speaker 1: now Matt Mitchell was sending it to us in slack. UH.
- 6:38Speaker 1: One of the writers for the Texans UM says he's
- 6:43Speaker 1: not seeing wide receiver Brandon Cooks at Texans walkthrough practice
- 6:46Speaker 1: right now, which means, you know, there have been rumors
- 6:49Speaker 1: about Brandon Cooks potentially being traded. Uh. If he's not
- 6:53Speaker 1: a walk through and he's healthy, then chances are good
- 6:56Speaker 1: that he might be on the way out of Houston
- 6:58Speaker 1: as well. So, and then we went for one last week.
- 7:04Speaker 1: We are three games out of first for a million
- 7:06Speaker 1: dollars in our contest. I thought about it this morning
- 7:10Speaker 1: when I was getting ready for the day and knowing
- 7:12Speaker 1: we had the podcast. Did I even want to say
- 7:15Speaker 1: the words three games out of first for a million dollars?
- 7:17Speaker 1: Because I don't want to jinx it. It It makes me uncomfortable.
- 7:19Speaker 1: But four and one, eight straight weeks of winning records,
- 7:25Speaker 1: I know, listen, we're fucking do We're the Vikings, were
- 7:29Speaker 1: the Falcons. You know we're due for a loss, but
- 7:33Speaker 1: it feels pretty good. I mean, Chad, you can't say
- 7:37Speaker 1: you're not trying. You're you are ice cold, my friend.
- 7:40Speaker 1: But lucky for you you got your friend here, Simon.
- 7:42Speaker 1: But carre you through these dark times because it's really hard.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I get how hard it is. It's like every week
- 7:49Speaker 1: I'm second guesting to myself. I mean, Chad talks to
- 7:51Speaker 1: me Sunday morning. There's just during games, it just feels
- 7:54Speaker 1: too easy. And like again, maybe I'm we're both just
- 7:56Speaker 1: seeing the board that well, but when we talk to them,
- 7:59Speaker 1: I do think we made a little bit of tough time,
- 8:00Speaker 1: right because we're picking between lines aren't good anymore, And
- 8:03Speaker 1: for me, Chad, we're not. We're a huge stickler for lines.
- 8:06Speaker 1: But when you're sitting there and the detroits two and
- 8:08Speaker 1: a half and they're four, that's tough. When you're sitting
- 8:11Speaker 1: there and the forty nine are minus one and a
- 8:13Speaker 1: half and now they're plus whatever, it was too at
- 8:15Speaker 1: that point it was like, Okay, we're still gonna take
- 8:17Speaker 1: the four niniars. We're still believe in it, but we
- 8:19Speaker 1: knew we were taking a bad number. So the Blinds
- 8:23Speaker 1: one was just brutal in the sense that they had
- 8:25Speaker 1: twenty seven points in that first half and all we
- 8:28Speaker 1: needed was a field goal and we would have covered
- 8:30Speaker 1: that number, and instead they just could not get a
- 8:34Speaker 1: single point in the second half. So great week I
- 8:36Speaker 1: mean the Carolina will one again. That was one I
- 8:39Speaker 1: feel like you loved and I was just agreeable with you.
- 8:41Speaker 1: It's like our guy Chris Raybon is hot, He's on fire.
- 8:45Speaker 1: He came in with that pick, and I was just like,
- 8:48Speaker 1: I don't love it. It's a good number. Chad wants it.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I'll give it to him. Because again I knew I
- 8:54Speaker 1: was picking an ugly one. That one was a public
- 8:57Speaker 1: road favorite in the divisional game. I got why. It
- 9:00Speaker 1: was kind of a tough pick. But that that Carolina game, Chad,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I went from being so damn mad at you because
- 9:06Speaker 1: I was just like staying this being like, what the
- 9:09Speaker 1: hell this guy is killing me? He just he game.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Why did you give us Carolina? We should because that
- 9:14Speaker 1: picks six. You're probably feeling the same way after that
- 9:15Speaker 1: pick six with PJ. It's tough, right when you take
- 9:18Speaker 1: your dogs they threw up pick six, you think you're dead.
- 9:20Speaker 1: But that was really funked. It was. It was a
- 9:24Speaker 1: great weekend. Um to give a little more context and
- 9:27Speaker 1: remind people the conscious were in the lines lock in
- 9:30Speaker 1: the middle of the week, so those are lines that
- 9:32Speaker 1: we play, but we don't have to put our picks
- 9:34Speaker 1: in until Sunday, so we get both the benefit of
- 9:36Speaker 1: closing line value, but also games we love. We might
- 9:38Speaker 1: not have the lines that we love on Wednesday when
- 9:42Speaker 1: we love it on when they love the game on Sunday.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Everything we do as transparent as it can be. We
- 9:48Speaker 1: put the picks into the app Action Network app. It's
- 9:51Speaker 1: freak download, it's award winning. Uh. You can follow every
- 9:54Speaker 1: pick we put him in Sunday follow the phase five
- 9:57Speaker 1: in the Action Network app, and you see where we
- 10:00Speaker 1: land and I give explanations about why we're making the
- 10:02Speaker 1: games we we chose and and where the lines closed,
- 10:06Speaker 1: and what we liked the game too. If the line
- 10:08Speaker 1: that we're locking in on isn't the line that's available,
- 10:11Speaker 1: if we still like it on Sunday morning, just go
- 10:14Speaker 1: download the app, follow the phase five. We're gonna get
- 10:16Speaker 1: everything up to the minute, right, Panthers, I had to
- 10:20Speaker 1: convince you of Cowboys, we both loved. Niners was a
- 10:23Speaker 1: terrible line, but we decided to take it because we
- 10:25Speaker 1: liked the Niners regardless the Browns, we never wavered. What
- 10:29Speaker 1: I liked about this conversation was normally we don't like
- 10:32Speaker 1: the Monday night games because we just don't want to wait.
- 10:34Speaker 1: It's not because we think there's anything mathematical about it.
- 10:38Speaker 1: We're just sucking babies and don't want to wait, especially
- 10:42Speaker 1: if you hate that or if you're two and two,
- 10:48Speaker 1: So yeah, you gotta go through all day Monday, just
- 10:51Speaker 1: fitting on an egg um. But we were stuck with it,
- 10:55Speaker 1: and the Lions were two and a half. We liked
- 10:58Speaker 1: him at four, we liked him at two and a half.
- 10:59Speaker 1: We've out they were alive, underdog like money line. We
- 11:03Speaker 1: talked about that to me was a game theory. Again,
- 11:05Speaker 1: we did that a lot in the contests where I
- 11:07Speaker 1: thought the number was shipped. I said that the chat,
- 11:09Speaker 1: but I said, such ship that every one of their
- 11:11Speaker 1: grandma's gonna be on it. And I looked at the
- 11:13Speaker 1: contest of the people in our contest took that number,
- 11:17Speaker 1: only eight percent took Detroit. So that was one of
- 11:19Speaker 1: those mean chatter. Three games back. If that one hits,
- 11:22Speaker 1: we're probably two games, maybe even one game. Because it
- 11:24Speaker 1: was again the most pick play, especially by these top people.
- 11:27Speaker 1: So again, we we're gonna do that a lot of times.
- 11:30Speaker 1: People Again, people were complaining about us taking bad numbers. Again,
- 11:34Speaker 1: we haven't even talked about the bed off. But I
- 11:38Speaker 1: got here. I never thought we were gonna put the
- 11:41Speaker 1: vikings in, just because we never really talked about putting
- 11:43Speaker 1: them in. So to me, that was gonna be a
- 11:45Speaker 1: tough one to squeeze in. So the courage that that
- 11:47Speaker 1: was ugly. And there was a point on Sunday, Uh,
- 11:51Speaker 1: it was very stressful as the as the early games
- 11:53Speaker 1: were ending. My younger son turned sixteen on Friday, he
- 11:58Speaker 1: got his He got a driver's license permit in Connecticut.
- 12:02Speaker 1: You gotta have your permit for a few months again,
- 12:04Speaker 1: supervisors driving before you can get your license. He's been
- 12:07Speaker 1: wanting to drive all weekend. So I took him Saturday,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and like midway through the fourth quarter on Saturday, he's like, hey, Dad,
- 12:15Speaker 1: can we go driving me through through the fourth quarter
- 12:17Speaker 1: of the early games? And I'm like, yeah, you know what,
- 12:21Speaker 1: let's just wait until these early games end. And uh
- 12:26Speaker 1: he's like okay. I am like standing in front of
- 12:29Speaker 1: the TV and at one point I'm doing the math
- 12:30Speaker 1: in my head. The do I think right now, with
- 12:36Speaker 1: twelve seconds left and the Panthers down, I have a
- 12:41Speaker 1: better shot with them covering than I do with the
- 12:44Speaker 1: Cardinals against the Vikings with more time left on the clock.
- 12:49Speaker 1: And then I was like, would I rather win the
- 12:51Speaker 1: Panthers game and get another game in the contest or
- 12:55Speaker 1: win the bet off with Simon? And I decided, and
- 12:59Speaker 1: I slapped you as this, I'd rather lose the bet
- 13:01Speaker 1: off and win the Panthers game. And I actually said,
- 13:03Speaker 1: in my head, I think I have a better shot
- 13:04Speaker 1: to win the Panthers game, and then the Cardinals game
- 13:07Speaker 1: with a twelve second heave ho and then p J
- 13:10Speaker 1: Walker through that fucking miracle beautiful pass, and then d
- 13:14Speaker 1: J Moore took his helmet off. And then I left
- 13:17Speaker 1: when Carolina like had some crazy interception, run back to
- 13:21Speaker 1: take my kid driving, and I'm like, all right, we're
- 13:24Speaker 1: gonna be okay. But I didn't slack anybody because I
- 13:25Speaker 1: didn't want to say anything. And I got back and
- 13:28Speaker 1: saw what had happened, and it all worked out okay,
- 13:30Speaker 1: and we didn't crash, and it all worked up right.
- 13:32Speaker 1: It's a long winter way of saying we should have
- 13:34Speaker 1: been five Chad's got to learn to listen to a
- 13:36Speaker 1: guy who's are professional. As soon as he made that pick,
- 13:40Speaker 1: he already was at pcent chance of losing that bet.
- 13:42Speaker 1: And what happened. Chad lost against it too, And oh
- 13:45Speaker 1: and he lost in the scuture. Let just terrible, terrible
- 13:48Speaker 1: mistakes by Chad. Oh my god, I'm so you know what,
- 13:51Speaker 1: I'll take four and one. I'll drag you across the
- 13:54Speaker 1: finish line, getting so fucking big. We're not even going
- 13:58Speaker 1: to talk about the early few weeks of the year
- 13:59Speaker 1: where I was carrying you, where I was crushing let
- 14:02Speaker 1: where I'm making the right choices, where it's Sunday morning,
- 14:06Speaker 1: whereas it's Sunday morning, and Simon is like, all the
- 14:09Speaker 1: voices are in my head and so hard in the
- 14:11Speaker 1: first three weeks, and I don't have any data, And
- 14:13Speaker 1: I'm like, Simon, let's focus on what we know. Let's
- 14:17Speaker 1: break our bad habits, let's do the right things. So
- 14:20Speaker 1: if you need to go on the air right now
- 14:22Speaker 1: and fluff yourself because you think you gotta tell everybody
- 14:26Speaker 1: how genius you are, I won't. I'll be the bigger guy,
- 14:29Speaker 1: and I won't remind everyone I was caring you earlier
- 14:31Speaker 1: in the year. I just want to learn your lesson.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I'm trying to flip myself. I literally called you a
- 14:35Speaker 1: full last show. I haven't called anyone a full in lifetime.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I love Chad, Chad's China's Best. Don't get on Chad's case.
- 14:41Speaker 1: It's really hard to pick winners, so that that card
- 14:44Speaker 1: knows one. It was just classic right, even in the
- 14:47Speaker 1: back of your mind. You had to know and you
- 14:48Speaker 1: remain a mistake as soon as you saw their public dollars.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I have been betting as a winner for twenty years.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I wrote the book, I started the business, I built
- 14:56Speaker 1: the beat. We sold this company for two million dollars.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Don't tell me I'm not good at making bets. That
- 15:03Speaker 1: literally means zero to sports gambling. I don't care. If
- 15:06Speaker 1: you wrote a thousand books on sports gambling, you still
- 15:08Speaker 1: don't know anything compared to pros now. Chad Milman wrote
- 15:13Speaker 1: a book. I didn't really like the Vikings. I just
- 15:16Speaker 1: knew really smart group was on it. Dad came in
- 15:18Speaker 1: big ahole hunch on his Cardinals. So again, I love you.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I'm so are winning not eight weeks. Let's get to it.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Let's get to it Eagles, Texans, your Eagles in the
- 15:30Speaker 1: city of Champions. The Eagles are thirteen and a half
- 15:35Speaker 1: point favorites on the road on Thursday nights. I know
- 15:41Speaker 1: Chad gonna be in Houston, but this is just I'll
- 15:44Speaker 1: take the best team in the NFC right now against
- 15:47Speaker 1: our reallly the worst team in football that cannot stop
- 15:49Speaker 1: the run. Like I can't believe that that Houston couldn't
- 15:52Speaker 1: beat Tennessee last week. They had a rookie that couldn't
- 15:55Speaker 1: throw the ball further than ten yards. Derrick Henry was
- 15:58Speaker 1: just a man you looked like literally nf AL player
- 16:00Speaker 1: playing in a high school game. But they just could
- 16:02Speaker 1: not bring down Derrick Henry. I would love to take
- 16:04Speaker 1: a short, short week, take a big dog at home.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let them suck me in. I bet
- 16:10Speaker 1: this up the fourteen, so I think you're getting a
- 16:11Speaker 1: good number on the Eagles and Eagles first half. It's
- 16:14Speaker 1: good it's seven and oh if it's under minus six
- 16:17Speaker 1: and a half, that'd be incredible to bet, but I'm
- 16:20Speaker 1: not sure it is right now. But I just I
- 16:22Speaker 1: keep betting every week and it keeps coming through. So um,
- 16:25Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll have this in our contest. Becau. Again,
- 16:27Speaker 1: this is such a huge number. I don't think you're
- 16:29Speaker 1: doing this in the contest. It's the rare time where
- 16:31Speaker 1: it's like last week I went to and one on
- 16:33Speaker 1: the big favorites, and I like this big favorite this week.
- 16:36Speaker 1: I like the Eagles. Here, Eagles are a touchdown favorite
- 16:39Speaker 1: in the first half right now. That's a nice number.
- 16:41Speaker 1: So I take that um but definitely not a contest play.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I mean, what do you see in Houston? How do
- 16:49Speaker 1: they cover this number? They're about to get rid of
- 16:51Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks? Like, what are they doing on third downs
- 16:54Speaker 1: that gives you confidence they can keep this close. It's
- 16:57Speaker 1: not a question of what I'm seeing on the field.
- 17:01Speaker 1: It's only the situation. And honestly, if this wasn't the Eagles,
- 17:05Speaker 1: you'd be with me. What if this was the Chiefs
- 17:07Speaker 1: are the Bills, I would not be with you. If
- 17:09Speaker 1: you want, you do understand how good the Eagles are,
- 17:11Speaker 1: right the third highest odds for the Super Bowl, Yeah,
- 17:16Speaker 1: I get it, but yeah, the worst team, worst of
- 17:21Speaker 1: the NFL on a short week is a massive number. Yeah,
- 17:25Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't know. I just don't get
- 17:28Speaker 1: scared off of I mean, I feel like if this
- 17:30Speaker 1: was fourteen and maybe start leading towards you, but you
- 17:33Speaker 1: get under two touchdowns for that's a nice number two
- 17:35Speaker 1: for this Eagles team. Alright, Vikings on the road at
- 17:38Speaker 1: the Commanders. Here's the one that we both love. Simon says,
- 17:42Speaker 1: Simon says, yeah, Simon, do it? What says Simon says?
- 17:50Speaker 1: Another three and a half. I think last week we
- 17:52Speaker 1: give out Cleveland, they were just had three. This week
- 17:55Speaker 1: we got the little bump um. I don't know if
- 17:57Speaker 1: it was good because of t J. Hockins, and I
- 17:58Speaker 1: feel like it was three and a half um when
- 18:00Speaker 1: I bet it someday, you know, it's been three and
- 18:02Speaker 1: a half since it opened. Basically, Situationally, we like Washington.
- 18:07Speaker 1: We like their defense, we like the rhythm they found
- 18:09Speaker 1: on all offense. That was the first time they've come
- 18:12Speaker 1: back in a game. They were down double digits in
- 18:14Speaker 1: the fourth quarter since Mark Brunel. Like Washington has been
- 18:17Speaker 1: lost for the last like twenty years. Again, I'm not
- 18:20Speaker 1: saying Heinekes found them, but they're four and four right
- 18:23Speaker 1: now in the hardest division of football. Like you can't
- 18:25Speaker 1: just act like that's not pretty impressive. For this Washington
- 18:27Speaker 1: team that I kind of left them for dead as well.
- 18:30Speaker 1: But we've been riding in the last couple of weeks
- 18:32Speaker 1: here and they've been winning for us. I'll keep it
- 18:34Speaker 1: going again. An undervalued line. We joked, this feels like
- 18:37Speaker 1: a Carson Wentz tax, like they they're they're going off
- 18:40Speaker 1: the data from earlier in the season and Wentz was
- 18:41Speaker 1: the quarterback as well. I make this line closer two
- 18:44Speaker 1: and a half too. I'll take this every time again.
- 18:47Speaker 1: The Vikings are really good. Chad tried to catch him
- 18:50Speaker 1: last week against the Cardinals. I just they are going
- 18:53Speaker 1: to get caught. This Viking team is going to get caught,
- 18:55Speaker 1: like they keep getting away with these games that their
- 18:57Speaker 1: defense gives up a ton of yards but they get
- 18:59Speaker 1: in who prompt fumble it's on the kickoffs or dropped
- 19:03Speaker 1: punts or weird interceptions by their defense. So situationally, I
- 19:08Speaker 1: like Washington. The fact that their defense has been playing
- 19:10Speaker 1: so well, that's huge to me because I do think
- 19:12Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to get pressure pressure on Kirk here,
- 19:15Speaker 1: which is a big deal. So I'm back in heinarkey Um.
- 19:18Speaker 1: This will be three weeks straight now. I backed them,
- 19:21Speaker 1: but he's produced, He's covered for us every week we
- 19:23Speaker 1: back from chat. Yeah, I love Washington in this spot.
- 19:26Speaker 1: The Vikings are so interesting. Look last week, I think
- 19:31Speaker 1: the Cardinals had just taken the lead. The Vikings had
- 19:34Speaker 1: punted the ball the way Greg Dorch and actually Network
- 19:37Speaker 1: all time fave, going back to his college days, fumbles
- 19:40Speaker 1: the ball, the Vikings recover, they take the lead. You know,
- 19:44Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, they were up to at that point, But no,
- 19:46Speaker 1: they took the cover. You're saying, because then they went
- 19:48Speaker 1: up nine at that point. Yeah, that's right. And so
- 19:51Speaker 1: I'll be curious this week to see where the Vikings
- 19:55Speaker 1: are in the luck rankings because they're they're like the Giants, right,
- 20:00Speaker 1: they they've been getting by. Yeah, it's funny coming into
- 20:04Speaker 1: the year, like the one possession games determines everything. We
- 20:07Speaker 1: haven't talked to the Jaguars um a team that has
- 20:10Speaker 1: completely melted in one possession games. The Vikings. The Giants,
- 20:14Speaker 1: they like they flipped their whole season because they just
- 20:15Speaker 1: keep winning these one possession games. So the Vikings, to me,
- 20:19Speaker 1: the crazy part about them is the fact that Kirk
- 20:22Speaker 1: hasn't been the one biting him, right, He's been actually
- 20:24Speaker 1: functioning pretty well in that offense. UM, I just never
- 20:29Speaker 1: envisioned them being sitting here with one loss head an
- 20:31Speaker 1: end of week nine. It is crazy. And the only
- 20:33Speaker 1: lost this to the Eagles, so they're playing really well.
- 20:37Speaker 1: The Panthers, a missed field goal away from being first
- 20:40Speaker 1: place in the NFC South, are on the road at
- 20:44Speaker 1: the Bengals. There seven point underdogs, No Jamar Chase. The
- 20:54Speaker 1: Panthers are sort of probably getting out of their that
- 21:02Speaker 1: glow US against the world feeling you have when your
- 21:05Speaker 1: best players traded and your coaches fired, and you know,
- 21:12Speaker 1: the Bengals were so bad on Monday Night football that
- 21:19Speaker 1: you almost feel like you're probably getting a discount here
- 21:23Speaker 1: and the Panthers are overinflated. Yeah. I mean, obviously we
- 21:27Speaker 1: both wish it was six and a half, but this
- 21:29Speaker 1: is it feels too easy sometimes, Jen like the games
- 21:32Speaker 1: you do. I don't know if you want to make
- 21:33Speaker 1: this our foxhold bet, but it feels that way. Just
- 21:35Speaker 1: because I don't really think anyone's gonna be on the
- 21:37Speaker 1: Bengals this week. I just see everyone coming in on
- 21:39Speaker 1: the Panthers just because they don't get it. Their schedule
- 21:42Speaker 1: of losses in football. I know it sounds crazy. I
- 21:45Speaker 1: couldn't tell. I try to explain the reason to EVERYONEE
- 21:47Speaker 1: about that Brown's matchup and throwing out all the d
- 21:50Speaker 1: B O and all the crazy numbers, just in the
- 21:51Speaker 1: fact that you have to take a week. The week
- 21:54Speaker 1: and that Cincinnati game that was such a bad spot
- 21:57Speaker 1: for them, huge win. Now playing against the divisional thow
- 21:59Speaker 1: that had a bad loss on the road. Joe Burrow
- 22:03Speaker 1: now owned four against that Browns team in his career.
- 22:06Speaker 1: He just does not play well against them. So now
- 22:08Speaker 1: you get Joe at home oft an embarrassing loss like that.
- 22:12Speaker 1: I feel like every time he's in the spot, he
- 22:14Speaker 1: dominates the team. Just so happens. It's a team that
- 22:17Speaker 1: I'm with you. Yeah, I think they might be reeling
- 22:19Speaker 1: a little bit like you just lost the divisional game
- 22:21Speaker 1: that was four first in your division. Now you're going
- 22:23Speaker 1: on the road again, right back to back road games.
- 22:27Speaker 1: That's hard. That's a really tough spot to be putting
- 22:29Speaker 1: this Carolina team and PJ and PJ played so well
- 22:32Speaker 1: in that game against Atlanta. I just can't see him
- 22:35Speaker 1: doing it again against the Bengals team that their defense
- 22:37Speaker 1: those two touchdowns. I get to the Browns the second half,
- 22:40Speaker 1: first touchdowns they gave up all season the second half,
- 22:42Speaker 1: So just a bounce back spot for the Bengals. Um,
- 22:45Speaker 1: I love it. Back to back week. So I was
- 22:47Speaker 1: taking fox on a favorite fours last week. This week
- 22:50Speaker 1: the Bengals. Yeah, I'm done with that. Let's put in
- 22:52Speaker 1: the fox off. Let's clide down into the foxhole. Bills
- 23:02Speaker 1: on the road, twelve point favorites at the Jets. We
- 23:06Speaker 1: got a little bit of a pro Joe split here
- 23:10Speaker 1: the tickets on the Bills of the money on the Jets.
- 23:15Speaker 1: One of our most bed games of the week so far.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Last week, you love the Bills. Yeah, you know, kind
- 23:22Speaker 1: of a bad beat in terms of of not getting
- 23:25Speaker 1: the cover. But you know, as soon as you saw
- 23:28Speaker 1: a line up there down seventeen and you've had the ball,
- 23:31Speaker 1: you know everyone it's it's time to turn it off
- 23:34Speaker 1: and go to bed. Yeah exactly. I went to bed
- 23:37Speaker 1: last night with the Browns. They were up five nothing. Yeah,
- 23:42Speaker 1: I'm like if it, if they come back and I
- 23:45Speaker 1: miss it, that'll be time well spent sleeping. That's what
- 23:51Speaker 1: I just tweeted out that we had already won even
- 23:52Speaker 1: those third quarters. I was like, if history is made
- 23:54Speaker 1: tonight and Joe Burrow has five touchdowns in the second half,
- 23:58Speaker 1: So be it. No, this tweet is not gonna look
- 23:59Speaker 1: like idiot when I wake up, Bills are twelve point
- 24:02Speaker 1: favorites on the road of the Jets. That Bills are
- 24:04Speaker 1: probably the best two on football. They played so bad
- 24:07Speaker 1: against Green Bay and they still won by ten. The
- 24:10Speaker 1: weapons like when Diggs is good and Gabriel Davis is good.
- 24:14Speaker 1: When Josh Allen can pick up ten yards anytime he
- 24:16Speaker 1: wants to run it. The only way they lose is
- 24:18Speaker 1: if they beat themselves. Like there's just so if you're
- 24:21Speaker 1: if you're betting the Jets, you're betting on Josh Allen
- 24:23Speaker 1: having back to back bad games. And he just had
- 24:25Speaker 1: a bad game and put up twenty seven points. So
- 24:27Speaker 1: I just don't see it. Um historically again as a favorite,
- 24:30Speaker 1: Josh Allen now in his career, I think he's six
- 24:33Speaker 1: and two now as a as a double did your favorite? Um,
- 24:36Speaker 1: So keep riding the train. I'll keep back and I'm
- 24:38Speaker 1: gonna hurt me last week, that back door hurt, but
- 24:41Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let it scare me off. I'll just
- 24:42Speaker 1: take this big favorite against his Zach Wilson that Yeah,
- 24:45Speaker 1: he threw for three d fifty yards, But I think
- 24:47Speaker 1: any Jets fan would say he looked lost in that game,
- 24:50Speaker 1: and he made a lot of dumb decisions. He said
- 24:52Speaker 1: a lot of weird quotes this week that's just rubbed
- 24:54Speaker 1: a lot of people wrong. Um, But man, I I
- 24:59Speaker 1: can't believe the fact that again that Patriots game, they're
- 25:03Speaker 1: probably gonnat lose it, but it was tend to it
- 25:05Speaker 1: was ten to three, and or maybe it's ten to six,
- 25:09Speaker 1: and he throws that pick six, Matt Jones throws a
- 25:11Speaker 1: pick six and they call rough in the past or
- 25:13Speaker 1: so instead of being seventeen to six or um seventeen
- 25:17Speaker 1: to three, they call that back. Max drives the field,
- 25:20Speaker 1: they score a touchdown. Now they're up thirteen to ten,
- 25:22Speaker 1: and just completely flipped that game at one place. So
- 25:25Speaker 1: maybe I'm undervaluing the Jets here, but I just it's
- 25:28Speaker 1: no more about the Bills. I just think the Bills
- 25:29Speaker 1: are the best team of football right now. I don't
- 25:32Speaker 1: know how the Jets are going to move the ball
- 25:34Speaker 1: against this Bills team. They just it's a good matchup
- 25:37Speaker 1: offensively and defensively for this Bills team. So Um, we'll
- 25:40Speaker 1: stay away, we won't put in the contest, but I'll
- 25:42Speaker 1: probably end up taking the Bills this week. What's interesting is,
- 25:46Speaker 1: you know, last week I wanted to play the Bills
- 25:48Speaker 1: in the second half, and um, because they've been so dominant.
- 25:52Speaker 1: The line was four and a half before the game
- 25:54Speaker 1: in the second half, and then during the game it
- 25:57Speaker 1: got down to two and a half at halftime. Ay,
- 26:00Speaker 1: even though they were up I think or it was
- 26:02Speaker 1: pretty big lead at halftime. Ah, I couldn't pull the
- 26:07Speaker 1: trigger even on two and a half. I just felt
- 26:09Speaker 1: like something ain't right here and uh, and sure enough
- 26:14Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't cover in the second half. I'd
- 26:17Speaker 1: be curious to see if I feel differently this week
- 26:19Speaker 1: on the Jets. Yeah, there's the game. Worst team. You know,
- 26:25Speaker 1: nobody who can. Like the Packers are always an Aaron Rodgers.
- 26:30Speaker 1: You know Romeo Dobbs finally catching the ball pass away
- 26:33Speaker 1: from scoring. The Jets are never going to score. They
- 26:37Speaker 1: don't have good running backs, terrible terrible quarterback like they
- 26:41Speaker 1: lost their blue Chirp. They lost the horse of the
- 26:44Speaker 1: team and Bryce Hall. So I I don't want to
- 26:49Speaker 1: be the guy always taking right like we love home dogs,
- 26:52Speaker 1: big divisional dogs. I feel like I should be on
- 26:54Speaker 1: the Jets here. I just think they're realing right now.
- 26:57Speaker 1: It's just bad, bad mojo for that team after so
- 27:00Speaker 1: many big injuries. Indianapolis Colts on the road at the
- 27:08Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Patriots bounced back uh cover against the Jets.
- 27:13Speaker 1: The Colts brutal, brutal loss to Washington. Good for us.
- 27:18Speaker 1: We love Washington plus three. They're reeling right. They just
- 27:21Speaker 1: fired their offensive coordinator. Frank Reich is doing everything he
- 27:25Speaker 1: can to save his job. Sam Ellinger was kind of
- 27:28Speaker 1: blah like people would get excited about his ability to
- 27:31Speaker 1: run with the ball, but not great. Michael Pittman Jr.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Dropped an easy pass in the middle of the field
- 27:39Speaker 1: that could have gotten closer to field goal range to
- 27:41Speaker 1: end the game. I don't know, kind of a dead number. Yeah,
- 27:46Speaker 1: by the by the book that you know what we're
- 27:47Speaker 1: supposed to do here, and we're supposed to take the
- 27:49Speaker 1: Colts like this is kind of the spot you do
- 27:52Speaker 1: take them after a brutal loss like that, they go
- 27:54Speaker 1: on the road. It's usually a rallying moment for this
- 27:56Speaker 1: team against the Patriots team that I still think Mac
- 28:00Speaker 1: Jones looks broken like he didn't. He wasn't the reason
- 28:03Speaker 1: they beat the Jets, like the running game and their
- 28:05Speaker 1: defense was the reason they beat the Jets. So, UM,
- 28:08Speaker 1: I like this game to be close. I just see
- 28:10Speaker 1: these two teams are very equal. To me. We're getting
- 28:13Speaker 1: a free two and a half two points just because
- 28:14Speaker 1: the young kid on the road here. That's the fear
- 28:17Speaker 1: right with Belichick, So hard hard week for contests, like
- 28:21Speaker 1: we might have to force one of these ones in.
- 28:23Speaker 1: But just how am I gonna get behind the Colts
- 28:26Speaker 1: on the road? I can bet it. It's just hard
- 28:28Speaker 1: to make it one of my five best bets. I
- 28:30Speaker 1: just I'm scared of it. It's not even close to
- 28:33Speaker 1: a contest play. I agree with you, the Cults are
- 28:37Speaker 1: probably the right side. The Patriots are not a good
- 28:40Speaker 1: enough team to be, you know, on the plus side
- 28:44Speaker 1: of closer to being a touchdown than a field goal. Um,
- 28:49Speaker 1: but do we back Mac Jones and the contest when
- 28:52Speaker 1: we're three out from a million dollars? There's no way, Uh,
- 28:57Speaker 1: but the rates one point favorites on the road at Jacksonville,
- 29:06Speaker 1: do be back the Trevor Lawrences. The line just moved
- 29:08Speaker 1: to two money just came in on the Raiders. So
- 29:12Speaker 1: the line and the Jacks just moved to uh plus two. Look,
- 29:18Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has disappointed us NonStop, non freaking stop. But
- 29:25Speaker 1: as a dog at home against a not very good team,
- 29:30Speaker 1: I know they just got zero points the Raiders. I
- 29:32Speaker 1: feel like you didn't. You have some crazy stat earlier
- 29:35Speaker 1: in the year. Yeah, with the Colts mults at zero
- 29:37Speaker 1: points and then the next week they beat the Chiefs
- 29:39Speaker 1: out right, You're right like it when it when a team,
- 29:42Speaker 1: it's basically a stat. Like teams that don't cover and
- 29:47Speaker 1: get blown out. It's two thousand five cover clip the
- 29:53Speaker 1: following week. So like to me, I want to be
- 29:55Speaker 1: all over the Jacks like this. This feels like the
- 29:57Speaker 1: right time to take them. But every things screams. Raiders
- 30:01Speaker 1: bounce back against the Jaguars team that simply does not
- 30:04Speaker 1: know how to win every game. They have the lead
- 30:06Speaker 1: every game that everything's working for them. Trevor Lawrence, maybe
- 30:10Speaker 1: it's a maturity. He's just a maturity makes horrible decisions.
- 30:13Speaker 1: But like that game, Travisy TM was moving the ball
- 30:16Speaker 1: up and down the field on that Denver team, incredible runs.
- 30:19Speaker 1: They still couldn't manage that game, so it is you're
- 30:22Speaker 1: you're right. That's probably my worst call of the season
- 30:24Speaker 1: in the year the Jaguars, they've been so disappointed. One
- 30:27Speaker 1: score games, they just keep losing. So I don't know,
- 30:31Speaker 1: I want to take I want to take the Jaguars,
- 30:34Speaker 1: but it feels like the Raiders is probably the right
- 30:35Speaker 1: spot here. They'll be heavily bet by the public this week,
- 30:39Speaker 1: but it feels like, for a good reason, the Jaguars
- 30:41Speaker 1: simply suck. They just can't win, and every week they're
- 30:44Speaker 1: proven to us they just not they don't win, and
- 30:46Speaker 1: they don't cover. What's your rating on this game right now?
- 30:50Speaker 1: Having to pick, so again the value is on the Jaguars.
- 30:53Speaker 1: But it's just like my computer can factor in and
- 30:56Speaker 1: these guys have the loser mentality, like they just cannot
- 30:58Speaker 1: finish games and they get so caught up and so
- 31:01Speaker 1: antsy um that can't close out games. We're like, again,
- 31:04Speaker 1: we've seen the Giants were the opposite this year. Every
- 31:07Speaker 1: close game they seem like they get better and cooler.
- 31:10Speaker 1: You really gotta beat him by double jigits, double digits
- 31:12Speaker 1: to beat him this year, So Jaguars are just stay
- 31:15Speaker 1: away from me, it's so interesting, Like we really thought
- 31:21Speaker 1: this was gonna be a Trevor Lawrence year, um because
- 31:24Speaker 1: of Doug Peterson. What if he's not that good? And
- 31:28Speaker 1: I know where what twenty four games twenty five games
- 31:33Speaker 1: into his career, but and and and seventeen of those
- 31:37Speaker 1: were with Urban Meyer. Yeah, they're not that much better
- 31:40Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson than they were with Urban Meyer. Yeah,
- 31:44Speaker 1: they're definitely well coached. But I try to do the
- 31:47Speaker 1: Josh Allen thing now. I'm trying to always give guys
- 31:49Speaker 1: three years because I really did not see Josh Allen
- 31:53Speaker 1: to anyone. Did he turned into I thought he would
- 31:54Speaker 1: be like a Ryan Tannehill, a big, strong athlete that
- 31:57Speaker 1: can make a good throw right now and then. But
- 31:59Speaker 1: being the number one, one, number two best quarterback in football.
- 32:01Speaker 1: I just didn't see coming. So I'm ready to bury,
- 32:05Speaker 1: uh Mac Jones. I'm ready to bury Trevor Lawrence. Like
- 32:08Speaker 1: these guys to me, Zach Wilson, they're they're they're not good,
- 32:12Speaker 1: Like Justin Fields look like the only one that's produced
- 32:14Speaker 1: that you can see a future with. But it's too early.
- 32:16Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna keep waiting just I don't look
- 32:18Speaker 1: like an idiot because this this draft class Drevord turl
- 32:22Speaker 1: Lawrence coming and had all the accolades. So I'll give
- 32:25Speaker 1: him the time because he has the body right, He's
- 32:27Speaker 1: got the arm, he's got the skill. It's right now,
- 32:29Speaker 1: it's all mental. That's his biggest weakness. Right now, the
- 32:34Speaker 1: NBA season is underway, and it's the perfect time to
- 32:36Speaker 1: download FanDuel America's number one sports book because right now
- 32:39Speaker 1: new customers get a no sweat first bet up to
- 32:42Speaker 1: one thousand dollars plus vandel is the only sports book
- 32:45Speaker 1: that's giving all customers three months of NBA lead past
- 32:48Speaker 1: when they make a five dollar bet on the NBA.

- 34:33Speaker 1: our Simon says is Washington plus three and a half.
- 34:37Speaker 1: So far, the only game that we really love for
- 34:39Speaker 1: our final five is Washington plus three and a half
- 34:42Speaker 1: Bears five point underdogs at home against the visiting Dolphins.
- 34:50Speaker 1: We don't have a choice. Another game where we have
- 34:52Speaker 1: to do it. We have to take the Bears. I
- 34:55Speaker 1: love what I've been seeing from the Bears since the bye,
- 34:58Speaker 1: and I look, we both we're big on the Cowboys.
- 35:02Speaker 1: This past week. I came this close and right now
- 35:06Speaker 1: I'm holding my four finger and my thumb about less
- 35:11Speaker 1: than a millimeter apart from betting the Cowboys outline of
- 35:16Speaker 1: minus twenty one at plus three fifty, because that's how
- 35:20Speaker 1: sure I was the Bears. We're just gonna get tanked
- 35:23Speaker 1: in this game. But they kept it close. I'm glad
- 35:27Speaker 1: I didn't bet that outline. They kept coming back, They
- 35:31Speaker 1: had good opportunities. They beat themselves with fumbles. Justin Fields
- 35:35Speaker 1: made a stupid mistake by not touching Michael Parsons and
- 35:38Speaker 1: jumping over him, which Michael Parson's then returned to fumble
- 35:41Speaker 1: for a touchdown. But they're calling the right place for
- 35:44Speaker 1: justin fields Like I think this team is getting confident,
- 35:48Speaker 1: is what I think. And I just like them in
- 35:50Speaker 1: a position at home and an outdoor and what we're
- 35:53Speaker 1: hoping for. It might be bad weather again, this is
- 35:55Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I looked at the weather report. There's supposed
- 35:58Speaker 1: to be a little bit of raine, supposed to be
- 35:59Speaker 1: some wind. That favorite is the Bear so heavily in
- 36:02Speaker 1: this matchup where you want to be running against Miami.
- 36:04Speaker 1: You can move the ball on the ground against Miami. Again,
- 36:06Speaker 1: we just saw de Troy move it up and down
- 36:08Speaker 1: the field on them in the first half and then
- 36:09Speaker 1: just complete fall apart in the second half. Miami is
- 36:12Speaker 1: really good, but winning back to back games on the
- 36:14Speaker 1: road is tough, especially back to back games against teams
- 36:17Speaker 1: that I think we're undervalued. The Detroit pushed this week.
- 36:21Speaker 1: We're getting nice, We're getting a good points. I don't
- 36:23Speaker 1: think the Bears are that much worse than Detroit, right, Like,
- 36:26Speaker 1: should this line really be five? No? But they just
- 36:29Speaker 1: got blown out. They were have one last week or
- 36:31Speaker 1: kept it close. This line is probably closer to three
- 36:33Speaker 1: or three and a half, so that's when I have
- 36:35Speaker 1: it at so I think we're getting two points, two
- 36:36Speaker 1: and a half points of value. So as I call
- 36:38Speaker 1: I saw this line come up, I thought, Holy shi it,
- 36:41Speaker 1: Please don't trade everyone on your team, Bear, so I
- 36:43Speaker 1: can bet you this week. I like the moves they made,
- 36:46Speaker 1: like again, we already talked about it, but the fact
- 36:48Speaker 1: they're bringing Claypool now in as well, like we're expecting
- 36:50Speaker 1: to play this week, that's great. Like I just like
- 36:52Speaker 1: the Bears in this matchup and let down spot for
- 36:54Speaker 1: Miami we'll have on the money line round robin. But
- 36:57Speaker 1: this feels like Miami wins by three or whoever wins
- 36:59Speaker 1: this game is by field goal. Just a close, sloppy
- 37:02Speaker 1: battle for Miami on the road here. I hate doing
- 37:05Speaker 1: this because I hate when I tie my emotional favorites
- 37:11Speaker 1: to my decisions on this podcast. But it's got to
- 37:15Speaker 1: be an exact decision, the choice between the unthinkable and
- 37:20Speaker 1: the impossible? Are you with? Exec executive decision? When I
- 37:26Speaker 1: opened up the odds for the week and I was
- 37:29Speaker 1: thinking about the games, the games that immediately stood out
- 37:33Speaker 1: Washington plus three and a half Bears plus five. Immediately
- 37:38Speaker 1: looked at those and thought, and there are some other
- 37:40Speaker 1: ones that we're gonna get to, but of the ones
- 37:42Speaker 1: we've talked about, I think this has to go on
- 37:44Speaker 1: our our final five list. Two. Yeah. Again, it's one
- 37:48Speaker 1: of my favorite dogs this week. Yep, alright, guess what
- 37:51Speaker 1: exact decision I have made? An exact Chad has made
- 37:56Speaker 1: an executive decision on the Bears, which I hate doing.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, because I got like
- 38:03Speaker 1: four text chains about the Bears that happened on Sunday,
- 38:06Speaker 1: and it is going to be miserable when I have
- 38:08Speaker 1: to be emotionally and financially psychically invested in this team.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, that sucks less. It drops only the three,
- 38:17Speaker 1: I just can't see it's not having in the contest. Well,
- 38:21Speaker 1: it's not gonna drop to three in the next hours
- 38:25Speaker 1: just because of Chase claypool Um Packers on the road
- 38:30Speaker 1: three and a half point favorites at the Lions. Lions
- 38:33Speaker 1: this morning traded t J. Hockenson fired their defensive backs coach.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I don't know what the numbers are because I'm meant
- 38:41Speaker 1: to look them up. I would be hard pressed to
- 38:47Speaker 1: believe that a team converted more third and longs ten
- 38:55Speaker 1: or more than the Dolphins did against the Lions at
- 38:58Speaker 1: any point this season. Now their defense sucks and like, Wad, Yeah,
- 39:04Speaker 1: and I just feel bad for you, check because every
- 39:06Speaker 1: week you just wanna keep taking them because it is
- 39:07Speaker 1: good numbers every week. But we talked about like this team,
- 39:11Speaker 1: not that that they quit on their head coach. There's
- 39:13Speaker 1: just something missing there. There's something wrong and this team
- 39:16Speaker 1: can't keep games close and just bad decisions. Jared Golf
- 39:19Speaker 1: fourth and two, you need two yards, buddy, and then
- 39:22Speaker 1: you can take four shots in a row at the
- 39:24Speaker 1: end zone said he throws a bomb on fourth and two.
- 39:26Speaker 1: They never Yeah, they never get the ball back. Games
- 39:28Speaker 1: over so bad coaching dream scenario Like if I was
- 39:32Speaker 1: the owner at this point, you've already kept them, let
- 39:34Speaker 1: him go this long Campbell right it out, you're gonna
- 39:37Speaker 1: get Now, You're you're gonna guarantee yourself the top three,
- 39:39Speaker 1: top four pick in a QB heavy draft because golf
- 39:43Speaker 1: started out great, but we've seen what he is, right, Chad, Like,
- 39:46Speaker 1: we all know what golf is. So yes, me and
- 39:49Speaker 1: Chad would love to take this number. This is the
- 39:51Speaker 1: right time to take Detroit, a team that can run
- 39:53Speaker 1: the ball against a Green Bay team that cannot stop
- 39:55Speaker 1: the run if their lives depended on it. So we'll
- 39:58Speaker 1: get burned maybe, But I how do I not take Detroit?
- 40:01Speaker 1: This is just two two bad teams and in a
- 40:05Speaker 1: bad division. I take the home dog rooms every time.
- 40:08Speaker 1: And the fact that it's three and a half, I'll
- 40:10Speaker 1: get sucked in. I'll take that number. One bit of news.
- 40:13Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift not likely to get a lot of carres.
- 40:16Speaker 1: You and I both love DeAndre Swift over rushing yards.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Got a little banged up, had maybe one or two
- 40:23Speaker 1: carries at the most touchdown, got hurt. Yeah, not expected
- 40:27Speaker 1: to uh, not expected to participate? Uh or I think
- 40:32Speaker 1: Dan Campbell said this morning on his radio show he
- 40:34Speaker 1: might not be playing. Um so if that's true, then
- 40:37Speaker 1: we probably wouldn't have him in the contest. We saw
- 40:40Speaker 1: once he was out that second half they just did
- 40:41Speaker 1: nothing on all offense. Yeah, we can't. We can't count
- 40:44Speaker 1: on DeAndre Swift. Another one. We're gonna get sucked in here.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Chargers visiting Atlanta. The Falcons plus three and a half,
- 40:53Speaker 1: the NFC South leading Falcons. They have one game up
- 40:59Speaker 1: on the Tampa Bay bucket years in New Orleans Saints. Hey,
- 41:02Speaker 1: let's take a flashback to our NFC South Preview episode
- 41:06Speaker 1: from August. Well, what do you want to say about
- 41:10Speaker 1: your favorite team in the Falcons one to win the division?
- 41:14Speaker 1: Four and a half? Is it a win total? And
- 41:17Speaker 1: the only reason we like them is because they're twenty
- 41:19Speaker 1: eight to one that win the division? Way too big.
- 41:22Speaker 1: Atlanta is just left for debt. There's no hype. It's
- 41:24Speaker 1: just gross. That's where I coming. It's too big, Like
- 41:27Speaker 1: Atlanta should not be twenty to one to win this division.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I'm fine with putting a hundred bucks Torg bucks on
- 41:33Speaker 1: this kind of bet. You know, come December there are
- 41:35Speaker 1: one or two games back, I can hedge out of it.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Like they're just not one to win this division? Bad
- 41:43Speaker 1: the Falcons plus three and a half. I mean, we
- 41:45Speaker 1: don't have a choice. Like, again, this is probably gonna
- 41:47Speaker 1: be in our big balls better the week, So all
- 41:49Speaker 1: the people listening live, you're gonnahead start here, grab it
- 41:51Speaker 1: and grab it. Atlanta. I don't know how they do it.
- 41:55Speaker 1: They keep all these games close. The Chargers they like
- 41:58Speaker 1: to play in close games, they're just they they're they're oftense.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Seems like it's complete dysfunctional, while Atlanta knows exactly who
- 42:04Speaker 1: they are and what they need to do every game. So, um,
- 42:07Speaker 1: one of these dogs will go along this week and
- 42:09Speaker 1: maybe I'll back off. As I talked to other pros,
- 42:11Speaker 1: but as soon as this line came out at three,
- 42:14Speaker 1: I thought that was a nice gift. It's just the
- 42:17Speaker 1: public wants the Chargers to be good. They want them
- 42:19Speaker 1: to be good, they want them to win everything. When
- 42:22Speaker 1: they played the Seahawks, like I, everyone got off to them.
- 42:25Speaker 1: But back to Seahawks and Seahawks beat them as a
- 42:27Speaker 1: big dog. I think it was like a five point
- 42:29Speaker 1: four and a half point dog. So looking at this
- 42:32Speaker 1: Chargers team, they could have gotten things right during the
- 42:34Speaker 1: bye week. I'm willing to pay to see it. So
- 42:37Speaker 1: you're giving me three and a half with the land
- 42:38Speaker 1: at home again, I'm on a bunch of dogs this
- 42:40Speaker 1: week at home. It just seems like good numbers. I'll
- 42:43Speaker 1: let the book suck me and I'll take those numbers.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Let the public just bet the Chargers. That's what the
- 42:47Speaker 1: public should do. They'll they'll take the Chargers here. As
- 42:50Speaker 1: we're talking. The line moved from three and a half
- 42:53Speaker 1: to three. You're moving lines on this show. We still
- 43:00Speaker 1: like it at three. Al right, Yeah, I'm interested to
- 43:03Speaker 1: get your take on this one because this next one,
- 43:05Speaker 1: Seattle is on the road at the Cardinals two point underdogs.
- 43:09Speaker 1: It was two and a half. This morning. You and
- 43:11Speaker 1: I were on Green Dot Daily. Check it out noon
- 43:14Speaker 1: Eastern at Action Network HQ in the Free Action Network
- 43:17Speaker 1: app around YouTube. It's the show for Action Network fans
- 43:21Speaker 1: where we set the betting agenda for the day for
- 43:24Speaker 1: the week. Uh. Simon and I are on Tuesdays at noon,
- 43:27Speaker 1: first off the block. We talked about some games that
- 43:30Speaker 1: we like. I mentioned Seattle plus two and I liked
- 43:33Speaker 1: it too. About one it was. I mentioned two and
- 43:37Speaker 1: a half. It opened the three. It's down to two
- 43:39Speaker 1: and a half now too. You agree or disagree, we're
- 43:42Speaker 1: both blinded by the light. We love Seattle. They've been
- 43:45Speaker 1: good to us, Like we almost put them in the
- 43:47Speaker 1: contest in my US three and a half because we
- 43:48Speaker 1: just liked them that much. They're good. They're just a
- 43:51Speaker 1: good team. Gino is good right now. Like the passes
- 43:54Speaker 1: he had to lock it were incredible. His deep ball
- 43:56Speaker 1: is really good. Even DK Metcalf, who was banged up,
- 43:59Speaker 1: was making a huge place for them. I think Kenneth Walker,
- 44:02Speaker 1: the running back, has just been a lading rod for them,
- 44:04Speaker 1: Like the guy is really hard to break down, tackle
- 44:07Speaker 1: and breakdown. So everything Chad's gonna say it's true about Seattle.
- 44:12Speaker 1: I wanted to take them around. They opened up three.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I did throw a little bit on it because it
- 44:16Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is a good number. How can
- 44:18Speaker 1: I not I don't know what to do. I don't
- 44:21Speaker 1: know what to do here, Chad. It feels like I'm
- 44:23Speaker 1: being sucked in on. Here's what we know. We know
- 44:28Speaker 1: that defensively, they're relatively the same. You look at yards
- 44:31Speaker 1: per carry, same bracket, yards pertempt, defensively passing, same bracket.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Seahawks are just so superior offensively right now? Uh with
- 44:43Speaker 1: with a quarterback statistically on the stats that matter, looking
- 44:48Speaker 1: inside yards per attempt, offensively, yards percary, they're crushing it.
- 44:52Speaker 1: You know, Kenneth Walker is going to rin Rookie of
- 44:54Speaker 1: the Year at this point. He was amazing against the Giants.
- 44:57Speaker 1: The bookmakers got lazy and they opened the Cardinals of
- 44:59Speaker 1: Mine three because it was a divisional game between two, two,
- 45:02Speaker 1: they think or even, and they made them three point
- 45:04Speaker 1: favorites at home, and that's not the right side against
- 45:07Speaker 1: the people. Like right now, I'm on Seattle. Let me
- 45:09Speaker 1: talk to let me talk to the boys and find
- 45:12Speaker 1: out Me and Chat are stepping in one because this
- 45:14Speaker 1: feels too easy. I'm with Chat, Like right when I
- 45:16Speaker 1: saw that plus three, I grabbed it, not shocked at all.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Got down to two just makes me a little worried, right,
- 45:21Speaker 1: dropped down to one and a a half, and a lot
- 45:22Speaker 1: offshore books, a lot of respected books shout right up
- 45:25Speaker 1: to two and a half. So clearly a group has
- 45:27Speaker 1: made uh statement here taking Cardinals, I am buying it either,
- 45:32Speaker 1: Like again, I want to take Seattle here, so like
- 45:34Speaker 1: the number, We're gonna wait and see on this one.
- 45:37Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Rams are on the road at the
- 45:40Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are two and a half point favorites.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Breaking news literally as
- 45:50Speaker 1: we speak, the Broncos are trading Bradley Chubb too the
- 45:58Speaker 1: Dolphins for a package that includes first round pick Bradley
- 46:04Speaker 1: Chub will be playing for the Dolphins this weekend against
- 46:07Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears. Does this change how we feel
- 46:11Speaker 1: as the Bears plus five. Definitely, you're just rushing the quarterback.
- 46:16Speaker 1: That's all you gotta do. And the Bears offensive line
- 46:18Speaker 1: is terrible. No, it's a good that's a great move
- 46:21Speaker 1: for Miami. Um, but now I don't. I don't think
- 46:23Speaker 1: it changed my opinion at all. Hopefully gets us the
- 46:25Speaker 1: six that'd be nice. UM give us the public does
- 46:28Speaker 1: like that, gives us a little bump. Um. I love
- 46:31Speaker 1: it for Miami. That's a that's a key thing they've
- 46:33Speaker 1: been missing as pass for so uh in that division
- 46:37Speaker 1: where you have Josh Allen love the move. Great great,
- 46:40Speaker 1: great trade and a guy you want to pay like
- 46:42Speaker 1: that's a guy you don't mind the head of on
- 46:43Speaker 1: your team long term. So smart move by the front
- 46:46Speaker 1: office of Miami. Yeah. I don't mind giving up a
- 46:48Speaker 1: first round pick though they gotta take it away for
- 46:51Speaker 1: the Brady thing. But who knows, Maybe it's next year
- 46:54Speaker 1: they lost their own. This is the one they had
- 46:57Speaker 1: from San Francisco one from the to the pick that
- 47:00Speaker 1: San France. Wow, smart play. I think it's a great play.
- 47:03Speaker 1: Like Chubb is a known quantity, he's not old pass
- 47:06Speaker 1: rushers like you can see them playing later under the
- 47:08Speaker 1: careers being really effective. It's a it's a great move.
- 47:12Speaker 1: I'm still going to be with the Bears in my
- 47:14Speaker 1: exact decision. I'm still gonna have the Bears in the contest.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Hope we can get a better number. Bucks minus two
- 47:20Speaker 1: and a half against the Rams. Yes, please give me
- 47:25Speaker 1: Tom Brady in a desperate, desperate spot for less than
- 47:29Speaker 1: a field goal against a team that cannot move the ball.
- 47:33Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is now day to day. Allen Robinson continues
- 47:37Speaker 1: to be a challenge. Van Jefferson was non existent. Uh,
- 47:41Speaker 1: and this offensive line is as dreadful as the one
- 47:44Speaker 1: they're playing against. Sure, two broken teams. I guess we'll
- 47:49Speaker 1: take the Bucks at home. Um, just got no confidence.
- 47:53Speaker 1: This team literally just got dominated by the Ravens the
- 47:56Speaker 1: second half. And the Ravens didn't have anybody. They lost
- 47:59Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, they didn't have their top receiver and their
- 48:02Speaker 1: number one running back Baltimore still dominated them. So the
- 48:06Speaker 1: Bucks are They're bad And like me and I had
- 48:09Speaker 1: just talked earlier, we don't even feel comfortable betting them
- 48:11Speaker 1: to win their division right now, even though it's only
- 48:13Speaker 1: whatever minus one thirty minus one fifty. It's like I
- 48:17Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't know what to think of
- 48:19Speaker 1: this team. I feel like there's still a lot of
- 48:20Speaker 1: bleeding left. So I'll take Tampa. But you really would
- 48:24Speaker 1: have to convince me Sunday morning if you want to
- 48:26Speaker 1: get this one. And like, I really have to hear
- 48:27Speaker 1: from other people and from Chad where it's like, Okay,
- 48:30Speaker 1: I see what these guys are doing, because to me,
- 48:32Speaker 1: it feels like I'm just playing a fade on the Rams,
- 48:34Speaker 1: and I just think the Rams are even more broken. Um,
- 48:37Speaker 1: that's why I take Tampa. But just diving into the numbers,
- 48:40Speaker 1: Aaron Donald could kill Brady. Like again, this could just
- 48:43Speaker 1: be an easy underbet for us, UM and everyone else listening.
- 48:46Speaker 1: You don't have to take a side. But if I
- 48:48Speaker 1: had to take a side, I'm with Chad. I take Tampa.
- 48:51Speaker 1: Here in the spot. I think it'll be an interesting
- 48:53Speaker 1: conversation for us on Sunday. I don't know that we're
- 48:56Speaker 1: gonna love all right. Now. We have Washington, the Bears, Detroit, Atlanta, Seattle,
- 49:04Speaker 1: all short dogs, and I think on Sunday we're gonna
- 49:08Speaker 1: look at the Bucks. And they thought about it a
- 49:09Speaker 1: little bit more and think all right at home, there's
- 49:12Speaker 1: less than a field goal. These are two bad teams.
- 49:15Speaker 1: If it were two bad teams that we didn't have
- 49:18Speaker 1: biases against, we'd be taking the home team at less
- 49:21Speaker 1: than a field goal. It's true, now I have no
- 49:24Speaker 1: bias here. It's just like you just said, it's just
- 49:27Speaker 1: like a really stinky play. Like we're just playing strictly
- 49:29Speaker 1: the numbers, trying not to think about this game at all,
- 49:31Speaker 1: which I'm a big believer in. So yeah, you might
- 49:34Speaker 1: put it convincement. Titans on the road twelve and a
- 49:38Speaker 1: ha points underdogs against the Kansas City Chiefs. Got a
- 49:43Speaker 1: text from a buddy called Snoop. Snoopy the dog Tennessee.
- 49:48Speaker 1: So we gotta take Tennessee this week, So me'll talk
- 49:50Speaker 1: about it. I don't know what to do, like i'd
- 49:53Speaker 1: hear more from people. They love Tennessee. Why first of all,
- 49:55Speaker 1: this number I like Tennessee, the fact that it's a
- 49:58Speaker 1: huge number for the Chiefs at home them Historically they
- 50:02Speaker 1: let teams hang in us. I mean I can even
- 50:04Speaker 1: all time, and I can think of Jordan's Loves game
- 50:05Speaker 1: with Green Bay. Like that game Jordan Love might complete
- 50:09Speaker 1: a five passes. They somehow covered the eleven half spread
- 50:11Speaker 1: wherever it was that Green Bay was. I don't know
- 50:14Speaker 1: what to do. Like the Chiefs historically don't perform well
- 50:17Speaker 1: as big favorites. Um, there's usually a spot you go
- 50:20Speaker 1: the other way. So the fact that a pro text
- 50:23Speaker 1: me mid show that we need to talk about Tennessee,
- 50:26Speaker 1: you know, makes me know where the pros are at.
- 50:28Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be surprised. You're in the sharp calls.
- 50:30Speaker 1: A lot of pros are gonna be on Tennessee. I
- 50:32Speaker 1: don't know, don't feel comfortable, don't So maybe that's even
- 50:34Speaker 1: more reason of doing it. Because we leak just could
- 50:38Speaker 1: not move the ball in Houston. Houston's defense is much
- 50:41Speaker 1: worse than this Chief's defenses. And this is arrowhead, right,
- 50:44Speaker 1: So it's a lot to put it on a rookie
- 50:47Speaker 1: qb Um. Maybe it's just the fact that Derrick Henry
- 50:50Speaker 1: King Henry right now is looking like the best running
- 50:52Speaker 1: back and football doing it all. Maybe Christian mccaffres shouldn't
- 50:55Speaker 1: say that. Uh man, that's a tough one. Chat. What
- 50:58Speaker 1: are you thinking of this one? Are we going tend
- 51:00Speaker 1: to see here? Yeah, we're totally going with Tennessee here.
- 51:03Speaker 1: It's uh where you just mentioned by the way, you
- 51:06Speaker 1: didn't want to pull the trigger on Tampa to win
- 51:08Speaker 1: the NFC South. So again he Simon is talking about
- 51:12Speaker 1: on Green Dot Daily. This morning, we talked about, um,
- 51:16Speaker 1: the picks that we were looking at, and then we
- 51:18Speaker 1: talked about at this point in the year, in the
- 51:20Speaker 1: NFC South, the Falcons are in first, the box are
- 51:24Speaker 1: in second, and in the NFC NFC what was the
- 51:29Speaker 1: other division? It was West, the Seahawks were in first
- 51:34Speaker 1: and the Niners were in second. So we're talking about, like,
- 51:36Speaker 1: if you're buying futures on the division, who do you buy.
- 51:38Speaker 1: We both wanted to hold on the box and buy
- 51:40Speaker 1: the Niners. Um, but uh, I think I saw. I
- 51:47Speaker 1: looked at this this morning and thinking about today's events
- 51:50Speaker 1: and was like, yeah, I think we're gonna bet the Titans. Yeah. Again,
- 51:55Speaker 1: it just feels like a situational play in a huge
- 51:57Speaker 1: number You've seen ybel get its team up for these
- 52:00Speaker 1: kind of games, like the defenses plays for him in
- 52:03Speaker 1: these spots. So we could have Pine in our face,
- 52:05Speaker 1: mitcha and we're down twenty eight nothing and there's zero
- 52:08Speaker 1: chance that tennise you could come back in a game
- 52:10Speaker 1: like that. But we're hoping for is a thirteen to
- 52:12Speaker 1: ten half at half or something like that. Just a
- 52:14Speaker 1: game that's sloppy and tennis you can keep close, and
- 52:17Speaker 1: that's the game that they're gonna try to play. So
- 52:19Speaker 1: Big Number already got Prose texting me about dur Our
- 52:22Speaker 1: Live Show. It's probably a smart move, So I'll just
- 52:24Speaker 1: shut up and agree with chat and take that number.
- 52:36Speaker 1: The Ravens with ro Kwan Smith two and a half
- 52:39Speaker 1: point favorites on the road at the Saints. Look. Last
- 52:44Speaker 1: week we talked about this. The Saints were two and
- 52:47Speaker 1: a half point underdogs. Two point underdogs. We initially love
- 52:51Speaker 1: the Raiders. The wise guys told us in our Sharp
- 52:54Speaker 1: Call segment that the Saints were to play. They couldn't
- 52:56Speaker 1: have been more right. Yeah, now they were right, and like,
- 53:00Speaker 1: and that's what I feel like, Chad, I feel like
- 53:01Speaker 1: a dummy. I try to think I'm smarter than these guys.
- 53:05Speaker 1: It wasn't. I was an idiot. I lost a bunch
- 53:06Speaker 1: of money on that they had zero points to Raiders.
- 53:08Speaker 1: That was truly embarrassing. So yeah, I should I should
- 53:12Speaker 1: probably back the Saints here, right, this is probably gonna
- 53:14Speaker 1: be the sharp play this week back, the Saints is
- 53:16Speaker 1: a dog at home against a Ravens team that has
- 53:19Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries like that, Mark Andrew's injuries a
- 53:22Speaker 1: real problem. That guy can't go through Number Bateman's out right.
- 53:27Speaker 1: So I love they're making moves for their defense. The
- 53:31Speaker 1: issue might be the offense for them right now. And
- 53:33Speaker 1: we just saw the Saints. It looks like they're gonna
- 53:36Speaker 1: keep Kamara. Like again, we're sitting here before the trade deadline.
- 53:39Speaker 1: We don't know what his future holds. But if they
- 53:40Speaker 1: keep him, yeah, I'll take the Saints. I don't know
- 53:43Speaker 1: if I'll be one of our five because it's not
- 53:45Speaker 1: a great number. I'd rather get it in three. But yeah,
- 53:48Speaker 1: the Saints at home on a prime time game. That
- 53:51Speaker 1: fan base, you know they're gonna be going crazy. Ravens
- 53:54Speaker 1: have had a nice run here, right, they put together
- 53:56Speaker 1: some some good wins. Here feels a gonta let down
- 53:59Speaker 1: spot back to back road games for them. Uh, usually
- 54:02Speaker 1: a trip up on the second one. I I'm surprised
- 54:06Speaker 1: right at this number. I would make this closer to
- 54:08Speaker 1: a pick. So it's gonna just you talk to other
- 54:11Speaker 1: guys with their pros and see if they're back in
- 54:13Speaker 1: Ravens because this numbers moved, right. I think it was
- 54:15Speaker 1: one one and a half. Now it's up to two
- 54:17Speaker 1: two and a half. Um, someone's taking a position on it.
- 54:20Speaker 1: But yeah, got instinct. The numbers say, like my model
- 54:24Speaker 1: says everything, you take the Saints in this prime time spot.
- 54:26Speaker 1: It's kind of like Cleveland last week. Right. We just
- 54:29Speaker 1: we're taking the ugly dog in a prime time spot
- 54:31Speaker 1: because you're getting a good number, because the public is
- 54:33Speaker 1: just gonna bet the favorite. We've a lot of We've
- 54:36Speaker 1: had a lot of news this show. The Bears traded
- 54:38Speaker 1: for Chase Claypool. The Bears also happened to be our
- 54:41Speaker 1: executive decision and one of our favorite five so far.
- 54:45Speaker 1: At plus five, foxholds the Bengals minus seven. I didn't
- 54:50Speaker 1: put the Bengals in our favorite five though, which I
- 54:52Speaker 1: should Bengals minus seven, Simon says, is Washington plus three
- 54:56Speaker 1: and a half. Um, The Broncos have traded Chase clayp
- 55:02Speaker 1: traded Bradley Chubb to the to the Miami Dolphins for
- 55:05Speaker 1: a first round pick. Uh so that's exciting. UM. Reminder
- 55:12Speaker 1: that uh for everybody listening, we are headed to Lexington Kentucky.
