Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Welcome to the favorites. I am Jeff Schwartz. This is
- 0:11Speaker 1: our Monday parlay show and with me as usual when
- 0:15Speaker 1: Chad is out in his black jack fetcher and Paula Duca. Gentlemen,
- 0:19Speaker 1: how are we doing this Monday morning? Great? Shwartsy, how
- 0:22Speaker 1: about you? I'm fantastic, Polly. How you doing today, Buddy?
- 0:28Speaker 1: I'm doing great as usual on this Monday beautiful morning. Man.
- 0:32Speaker 1: What was your worst what was your worst bad beat
- 0:34Speaker 1: this weekend? Paully, I beg one of our worst beats
- 0:36Speaker 1: ever this weekend, as in a funny beat. I am
- 0:40Speaker 1: positive as Scotty Montgomery, the coach at East Carolina played
- 0:44Speaker 1: the over the intern over East Carolina against NC State
- 0:49Speaker 1: with sixty this weekend. Now, if you go look at
- 0:51Speaker 1: the steps and see State had over six hundred yards
- 0:53Speaker 1: on off East Carolina had a hundred. Well, the end
- 0:56Speaker 1: of that game, it's fifty eight. Nothing was like a
- 0:58Speaker 1: minute left in East Carolina has the ball. At this point,
- 1:02Speaker 1: they have fifty yards of offense. Guy runs the ball
- 1:05Speaker 1: fifty four yards all the way down to the NC
- 1:09Speaker 1: State like thirty yard line. They proceed to run two
- 1:13Speaker 1: more plays and not gain a yard. Now there's three
- 1:16Speaker 1: seconds left and they run out of bounds and they
- 1:21Speaker 1: start lining up to kick a field goal down fifty
- 1:24Speaker 1: eight nothing, and the under and over is sixty. Then
- 1:28Speaker 1: NC State coach starts using the kicker because he wants
- 1:32Speaker 1: the shutout, and of course to get drill it to
- 1:35Speaker 1: make a three sixty one. I think Lauren Joffrey ow
- 1:39Speaker 1: Lauren Joffy had it under. It was the most comical.
- 1:41Speaker 1: It's not it's not an awful beat, not a bad beat,
- 1:45Speaker 1: but it was the most comical beat of the NC
- 1:47Speaker 1: State coach tried to ice the kicker, and then Scotty
- 1:49Speaker 1: Montgomery actually tried to kick the drill goal down fifty
- 1:52Speaker 1: eight nothing. Have I know, we've had some rough weekends,
- 1:58Speaker 1: all three of us. What do you do? You have
- 1:59Speaker 1: a bad one this weekend? They were all bad, Jeff,
- 2:02Speaker 1: Every single one of them was bad. I mean I
- 2:05Speaker 1: had the Indianapolis Colts who lost six to nothing to
- 2:07Speaker 1: the jack Yes, the Jaguars had two hundred and eleven
- 2:10Speaker 1: total yards of offense and one a game. I had
- 2:15Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns who just got obliterated by the Texans.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I had the Steelers who choked it away at home
- 2:21Speaker 1: against the Chargers. I mean, it was just it was
- 2:23Speaker 1: a disaster of a weekend. I said this to someone
- 2:26Speaker 1: in our office this morning. Chad and I look at
- 2:29Speaker 1: gambling very very differently, and somehow we both went over
- 2:35Speaker 1: for Sunday. I don't know how that happens. Um. Your
- 2:41Speaker 1: show on Friday was contentious. It was fantastic. It was
- 2:46Speaker 1: a lot of real anger. I feel like, really like
- 2:49Speaker 1: you both despise each other's betting styles. You bet more
- 2:54Speaker 1: like a combination of the public and a little bit
- 2:57Speaker 1: of sharp and Chad obviously tries to be as sharp
- 3:00Speaker 1: all the time. And you're right to produce some interesting
- 3:03Speaker 1: result because this weekend, Look on the NFL side, it
- 3:06Speaker 1: was weird, right, we had and look and all of
- 3:08Speaker 1: us did this. So I think PAULI bet the bet
- 3:10Speaker 1: the Patriots. But you know the Vikings, right, the Vikings
- 3:13Speaker 1: felt like the right play in New England. Of course,
- 3:15Speaker 1: it wasn't the right play. They covered that as usual
- 3:18Speaker 1: at home. Um, and you know, some big favorites continue
- 3:22Speaker 1: to just you know the rams. For example, I had
- 3:24Speaker 1: Detroit plus ten. I thought that was the right place,
- 3:26Speaker 1: felt the right play the entire game. Well, guess what
- 3:28Speaker 1: they covered the very end, you know as well, there
- 3:30Speaker 1: we was just some you know, Seattle covers big as well.
- 3:33Speaker 1: There's just some weird games again this weekend. Um, and
- 3:38Speaker 1: my worst beat, I think a couple of them. I mean,
- 3:41Speaker 1: like I had Utah plus five in the Patrol Challenge game.
- 3:43Speaker 1: They lost ten to three. I mean, come on, that
- 3:45Speaker 1: was a bad DJ. I mean, listen was about ready
- 3:48Speaker 1: to take the momentum and listening, kid drops the ball,
- 3:51Speaker 1: bounces off his handstrinking kid from Washington goes seventy yards home.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Amum of that game. So just there was things like that.
- 3:59Speaker 1: And in college football, Memphis collapsed in the second half.
- 4:05Speaker 1: How about Buffalo being up twenty nine to ten against
- 4:08Speaker 1: n a U and NUI ranked offense and they scored
- 4:12Speaker 1: like thirty points in a row. There was a lot
- 4:14Speaker 1: of collapses in the second half this week, you know,
- 4:17Speaker 1: in especially college football. Yeah, I mean I think I
- 4:20Speaker 1: think my favorite, well, Texas getting not covered as pretty
- 4:24Speaker 1: brutal too in that Oklahoma game. But I had so
- 4:26Speaker 1: I had the Jets yesterday the under the under team
- 4:29Speaker 1: total of sixteen and a half. Like I knew they'd
- 4:31Speaker 1: go into Tennessee and not play well offensively. I was
- 4:34Speaker 1: certain of it. They had not played well on the
- 4:36Speaker 1: road all season. Tennessee is a really good defense, so
- 4:39Speaker 1: I was right. The Jets had five field goals on offense,
- 4:42Speaker 1: so fifteen points, but they had had to pick six
- 4:44Speaker 1: in the first quarter and went over. I mean, what
- 4:46Speaker 1: are you gonna do at that point? Um? All right,
- 4:49Speaker 1: but we're gonna have a great week of of our
- 4:51Speaker 1: parlay bets. Last week I was one in two, Chad
- 4:55Speaker 1: was one in two, Paul was one and two, and
- 4:59Speaker 1: this week I feel we're gonna have a great week. Now.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Look college football. By the way, only one college football
- 5:03Speaker 1: game this weekend Army Navy, so big slide NFL. We
- 5:06Speaker 1: can also, because parlay's last, however long you want to
- 5:09Speaker 1: make them, we can put in futures in this. We
- 5:11Speaker 1: can put a basketball game, a hockey whatever you want
- 5:13Speaker 1: to guys want to do, we can do whatever we want.
- 5:15Speaker 1: So just a quick reminder of how this works. We'll
- 5:18Speaker 1: take a look at everything that's that's ahead of us
- 5:20Speaker 1: for the week, like we talked about, like I just
- 5:21Speaker 1: mentioned Um, and we'll put him into a nine team
- 5:25Speaker 1: parlay twenty bucks a person sixty bucks to win twenty thousand.
- 5:30Speaker 1: We've been sort of close sometimes, but I think this
- 5:33Speaker 1: week we're really gonna get it. I'm gonna start us
- 5:36Speaker 1: off as usual. Let's get some some NFL action here.
- 5:41Speaker 1: The Ravens are are plus seven right now in Kansas City.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Opened at nine. I should have grabbed yester. I looked
- 5:47Speaker 1: at it yesterday, thought to myself of grabbing it. Didn't
- 5:50Speaker 1: do it. But I'll still take Baltimore plus seven. Here.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Give you a couple of reasons why. Um, Obviously I'm
- 5:57Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan. I'll sart of out there. So I
- 5:58Speaker 1: watched every Chief snap Paul Pusible. Um, and the Chiefs
- 6:02Speaker 1: have games every year that Baltimore is a perfect example
- 6:05Speaker 1: of this, of this game where they play a home
- 6:07Speaker 1: game and they just have a complete stinker. And it's
- 6:10Speaker 1: typically gets a team that runs the ball well and
- 6:12Speaker 1: plays good defense and gets what the Ravens do. They
- 6:14Speaker 1: play good defense and I run the football, especially with
- 6:16Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and they've won three straight games. Um, and
- 6:20Speaker 1: it's just just right for the Chiefs can still win
- 6:22Speaker 1: this game. I think they will, but this is ripe
- 6:24Speaker 1: for Chiefs. Three to four point victory where the Ravens
- 6:29Speaker 1: run the ball for two and fifty yards. They are
- 6:32Speaker 1: able to shut down this office just a little bit. Now,
- 6:34Speaker 1: the Chiefs did not miss Kareem Hunt yesterday. They probably
- 6:37Speaker 1: won't miss him very much. They play the Raiders, though, right,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and and the Chiefs defense all the Raiders to to
- 6:41Speaker 1: almost win that game. It was then the fourth quarter
- 6:45Speaker 1: before Chiefs added a late touchdown. So give me Baltimore
- 6:49Speaker 1: plus seven? Uh, PAULI, what do you think about that?
- 6:53Speaker 1: They've surprised me. I played against Baltimore in the last
- 6:55Speaker 1: three weeks. I mean even RG I know, I mean
- 6:59Speaker 1: like play well, Um and Jacker came in and sealed
- 7:02Speaker 1: the deal. Their defense was just uh was just dominant
- 7:07Speaker 1: to Um when they get to lead the two dangers
- 7:10Speaker 1: and you're right, they're playing the ball control game. But
- 7:14Speaker 1: he's been pretty accurate. He's been pretty good, better than
- 7:16Speaker 1: I thought he would be. Yeah, I like this pick
- 7:20Speaker 1: a lot, Jeff, because I think that after we you know,
- 7:22Speaker 1: we we saw we got another look at that Chiefs
- 7:25Speaker 1: defense against the Raiders. You know, we saw what the
- 7:28Speaker 1: Rams did, but you didn't expect the Raiders to go
- 7:30Speaker 1: in there and put thirty three on the board. H
- 7:33Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's gonna shred that Chiefs defense. I mean, they
- 7:35Speaker 1: are going to run all over them. It's it's I
- 7:39Speaker 1: think they'll absolutely hang in this game. I think seven's
- 7:42Speaker 1: too many. Um, so yeah, I'm with you. I like it, Paul,
- 7:46Speaker 1: You're up, buddy. Okay, Well, um, I'm just gonna go
- 7:50Speaker 1: with the principal. You just can't lay too many points
- 7:53Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bells being nine point favorite is just
- 7:56Speaker 1: too much for me. So I'll play the Jets in
- 7:58Speaker 1: somewhat of a revenge game. I guess, considering the Jets
- 8:01Speaker 1: got beat by the Bills, I'll have time they play,
- 8:03Speaker 1: So I'll take the nine points in Buffalo. This game
- 8:06Speaker 1: has a sel sixteen thirteen, even though the Bills I
- 8:11Speaker 1: don't know how they keep doing it consistently are in
- 8:15Speaker 1: games and maybe Josh Allen is like proven that he
- 8:18Speaker 1: has a little gusto in him and he's a winner.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I thought Darnall played a little bit better this weekend,
- 8:23Speaker 1: and like I said, after they get the gown out
- 8:25Speaker 1: n this game is sort of start to tighten up
- 8:28Speaker 1: the second time they played each other. So I'll take
- 8:30Speaker 1: the nine points. I mean, the Bills being a nine
- 8:32Speaker 1: point favorite at home, I don't think that we probably
- 8:35Speaker 1: have to go probably like six or seven years back
- 8:37Speaker 1: for them to be that bigger than the favorite at home.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But I mean, PAULI, if you can catch nine, I
- 8:43Speaker 1: absolutely would do that. Um but I mean I see
- 8:47Speaker 1: three and a half most places, so I don't it's
- 8:50Speaker 1: nine on the app That's what I didn't understand. What
- 8:52Speaker 1: if it was bound before. Well, there's one book that
- 8:56Speaker 1: has that has nine, and then there's every other book
- 9:00Speaker 1: that has Buffalo minus three and a half. Okay, that's
- 9:02Speaker 1: what I thought. I'm stupid anyway. So so you're taking
- 9:07Speaker 1: we're taking the nine. We are we gonna lock we
- 9:09Speaker 1: gotta lock this in somewhere, lock it in somewhere. So
- 9:13Speaker 1: there is a nine, black there is a nine there.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I'm looking at a nine. Okay, well we have a
- 9:17Speaker 1: nine and nine it is look at us, all right.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I like this as well. Let me come on, Buffalo
- 9:24Speaker 1: should not be nine point favorite against anybody, and it's ridiculous.
- 9:28Speaker 1: That's that's that's a mistake. And hopefully people, if you're
- 9:30Speaker 1: listening to the show this morning, go find this line
- 9:33Speaker 1: and go jump on it as quick as possible. Alright,
- 9:35Speaker 1: black Jack, you're up, buddy, all right, listen, there's no
- 9:38Speaker 1: more college football except for Army Navy. But you know what, Jeff,
- 9:40Speaker 1: no problem. We're going to the ice, brother, We're going
- 9:42Speaker 1: to the NHL. We're gonna take a look at Saturday's
- 9:46Speaker 1: slate is a game I love here and Jeff, I
- 9:49Speaker 1: know you're gonna love it. It's our Vegas Golden Nights
- 9:51Speaker 1: playing the l A King's. Vegas hasn't played quite as
- 9:55Speaker 1: well as they did last year, but there's been one
- 9:57Speaker 1: thing that still holds true. They own the Los Angeles Kings.
- 10:02Speaker 1: They've got their number, baby, they dominate that team. I'm
- 10:05Speaker 1: taking the Nights on the road Saturday, four pm Eastern.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Golden Knights money line absolutely fantastic. You know that my
- 10:16Speaker 1: hockey gambling consists of following your picks, especially if you
- 10:21Speaker 1: have the Golden Knights. I'm rolling with it. PAULI do
- 10:24Speaker 1: you are? Paul? Are you a heavy hockey gambler? No,
- 10:27Speaker 1: I don't play. I think I played one game last year,
- 10:31Speaker 1: but no, I like have my um Las Vegas Nights
- 10:34Speaker 1: Jersey because of all the money that black jack went
- 10:37Speaker 1: last year, so I was on his train. So yeah,
- 10:39Speaker 1: I'm with them. I agree with this. I'm I'm in
- 10:43Speaker 1: on this alright, guys, Let's go to my second pick. Um,
- 10:47Speaker 1: my third one is gonna be a doozy. By the way,
- 10:48Speaker 1: I have a fun I didn't have a fun third one,
- 10:50Speaker 1: but my my second one here, Let's go to Arizona
- 10:54Speaker 1: Cardinals plus two and a half at home against the
- 10:57Speaker 1: lines that this is outrageous. The lines are not good
- 10:59Speaker 1: enough to be a favorite on the road against anybody.
- 11:02Speaker 1: They can't score right now in Arizona just came off
- 11:05Speaker 1: being the Packers. It doesn't matter. The Packers maybe have
- 11:08Speaker 1: quit or not quit. They went into lambau Field and
- 11:10Speaker 1: the game the Packers had to win and won this game.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Now they go back home and everyone, of course so
- 11:17Speaker 1: far early on is taking the Lions. The line has
- 11:19Speaker 1: gone up, it might even go up even more. But
- 11:21Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense, by the way, has played decently enough,
- 11:24Speaker 1: especially at home. Look, yes, the Chargers game wasn't very good,
- 11:28Speaker 1: but Rosen keeps improving, right. I just I don't trust
- 11:30Speaker 1: the Lions quite honestly, to go on the road and
- 11:32Speaker 1: cover this spread. I don't even trust them to win
- 11:34Speaker 1: this game, quite honestly, on the road. They're a complete
- 11:37Speaker 1: wreck right now. They're four and six see me four
- 11:39Speaker 1: and eight. Um, I like the Cardinals here, and also
- 11:42Speaker 1: because the public is throwing all their money on the
- 11:45Speaker 1: Lions early on. Yeah, I actually liked it. That was
- 11:51Speaker 1: a big win for rosen Um. They moved the ball
- 11:53Speaker 1: consistently yesterday, and like Matt Stafford came down and tried
- 12:01Speaker 1: to with the back door recovery yesterday, or at least
- 12:04Speaker 1: try to. Is it me or Stafford ever gonna learn
- 12:07Speaker 1: to throw a ball less than a d eighty miles
- 12:09Speaker 1: an hour on a five yard game route from the
- 12:12Speaker 1: five yard line, Probably not God, So I actually don't
- 12:19Speaker 1: mind his pick. And you listen, when you have a
- 12:21Speaker 1: young quarterback, Craig mcvarn, we've got one quarterback and the
- 12:25Speaker 1: season's over. She's over for both teams, the younger quarterback,
- 12:29Speaker 1: and I would think the guys are gonna play more
- 12:31Speaker 1: for him and try to progress, especially for Wilkes to
- 12:34Speaker 1: first year coach. So I don't mind this play at all.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I like it. Swartsy, I like it a lot. I've
- 12:41Speaker 1: been high on the Cardinals this year. I you know,
- 12:43Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes the first year as a head coach. He
- 12:45Speaker 1: he obviously needs a little bit of experiencing game. But
- 12:48Speaker 1: everything you read coming out of Arizona is that the
- 12:50Speaker 1: players really love him. They're playing hard for him. You know.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Rosen I think is developing. It's been a little slower
- 12:55Speaker 1: than I than I kind of expected it to be,
- 12:57Speaker 1: but he's getting there. David Johnson's getting more involved lately.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Um and yeah, the Lions just don't do it for me. Man,
- 13:05Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's going on there.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Matt Patricia has not impressed. He's done some weird things,
- 13:11Speaker 1: said some weird things. I that team's done. I'm with you,
- 13:15Speaker 1: they shouldn't be a road favorite. I'm taking the points
- 13:17Speaker 1: to the home team. Because Patricia actually used that pencil.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I am not seen to use the pencil. No. I
- 13:25Speaker 1: feel like, I feel like, if you're a head coach, though,
- 13:27Speaker 1: you have to present yourself a certain manner, Like I
- 13:29Speaker 1: get the Bears. The thing. He doesn't even look like
- 13:31Speaker 1: he brushes the beard. It's just like he wakes up
- 13:33Speaker 1: in the morning. It just shows up at the facility.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Like you're a head coach. Man, It's okay to have
- 13:37Speaker 1: a beard, but like, can you brush it a little bit?
- 13:39Speaker 1: Maybe one if there's a lady rolling in there, or
- 13:43Speaker 1: a guy that has no clue. He could be mistaken
- 13:45Speaker 1: for the Christodian. How about the first game this season
- 13:50Speaker 1: he worked a backwards hat. Yeah yeah, I mean that's
- 13:53Speaker 1: when I knew Chris Mullen was a joke. When Chris
- 13:55Speaker 1: Mullen became the head coach of St. John's and he
- 13:57Speaker 1: worked shorts on the sidelines, that was it me. Wait,
- 14:01Speaker 1: I thought of MAUI like they in the opening tournaments,
- 14:04Speaker 1: they wear shorts and stuff coaches. It doesn't matter. You
- 14:06Speaker 1: don't wear shorts on the side of any program. Jack.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I don't think men should ever wear shorts unless you're
- 14:12Speaker 1: like Frank push that you wear a s should should?
- 14:17Speaker 1: Should everyone go? Should everyone do? The Mike Nolan on
- 14:20Speaker 1: the sidelines in the NFL, just wear a suit. Remember
- 14:23Speaker 1: Mike Nolan warre suit. But by the way, the suit
- 14:24Speaker 1: was like sponsored by Rebok. They wouldn't let him wear
- 14:28Speaker 1: his own suits like that, he had Rebok sponsored suits
- 14:32Speaker 1: he was wearing on the sidelines. Very awkward if it
- 14:34Speaker 1: just looked weird. If Paul la Duca were coaching an
- 14:36Speaker 1: NFL team, he would be wearing a suit. I've never
- 14:38Speaker 1: seen the man anything other than a suit or so yeah,
- 14:43Speaker 1: I would go Kane Stewart or why why can't if
- 14:48Speaker 1: baseball managers wear the uniform, which is still a weird
- 14:50Speaker 1: thing in my opinion, Gabel cabe Keatler is like there
- 14:53Speaker 1: was only coach last year. I just refused to wear
- 14:55Speaker 1: uniform at all, Like he didn'tven have it underneath right
- 14:57Speaker 1: because he just wore the pull over every game. So
- 15:00Speaker 1: how funny would be if Bill Belichick was out there
- 15:02Speaker 1: yesterday custy Adam feeling while wearing a full uniform with
- 15:07Speaker 1: New England Patriots, It would be It would be unbelievable
- 15:10Speaker 1: if he is as well Bobby Cox were Spikes his
- 15:15Speaker 1: whole career as the manager. Yeah, listen, if we're talking
- 15:20Speaker 1: about if we're talking about coaches wearing NFL uniforms, I
- 15:24Speaker 1: gotta see Andy Reid in some spandex. Oh my god.
- 15:28Speaker 1: And Raid is the best. He would not the all
- 15:33Speaker 1: white uniforms will not be good for him, not be
- 15:37Speaker 1: good for him. I love you Andy, all right, Paul.
- 15:39Speaker 1: I believe you're up, buddy. Okay, So I got theto
- 15:43Speaker 1: last week on the Texans and it was a layup.
- 15:47Speaker 1: It was a layup. I told the baker Mayfield to
- 15:50Speaker 1: joke and that the Texas going to be But now
- 15:53Speaker 1: they come back with the Texans minus five basically last
- 15:56Speaker 1: week is a weird line, right, you come back with
- 15:59Speaker 1: four and a half after the Colts get shut out.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I think the Colts, and I know you don't want
- 16:05Speaker 1: to us. I don't want to be on the sharp side,
- 16:07Speaker 1: but I think the Colts the sharp side here. So
- 16:09Speaker 1: I like the Colts plus the four and a half points.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I have a feeling that this game is to come
- 16:13Speaker 1: down and they love possession. The Colts need this game,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to run the football because they
- 16:19Speaker 1: cannot protect. They have protected Andrew Ducktis yesterday they didn't
- 16:24Speaker 1: but up till yesterday, and they're gonna have to run
- 16:26Speaker 1: the ball a little bit better. I mean, there's absolutely
- 16:28Speaker 1: no offense. I think the knee jerk reaction would be
- 16:31Speaker 1: after watching Indianapolis do nothing. Um, I think a lot
- 16:35Speaker 1: of the action there idiots on Easton saying they're on
- 16:38Speaker 1: a roll. But I just have a feeling that Indianapolis
- 16:42Speaker 1: and Andrew Luck somehow is going to stay in this game.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It's gonna be a three point game. I love this fact.
- 16:48Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even look at this. I mean,
- 16:50Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely all the public money so far
- 16:52Speaker 1: as being thrown in Texans not surprisingly after Colts get
- 16:55Speaker 1: shut up. But how often do we see Andrew luck
- 16:56Speaker 1: team get shut out? There's gotta be a notes early
- 16:59Speaker 1: in the weekend. We don't have all the information in
- 17:01Speaker 1: front of us at this time. So but like, there's
- 17:03Speaker 1: there's gotta be something where if you can shut out
- 17:05Speaker 1: the next week, you score forty points a week after, right,
- 17:07Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no way that the Coast don't
- 17:09Speaker 1: come into this game and score a lot of points.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I agree with you here, four and a half seems
- 17:12Speaker 1: like a great pick. I'm not going to throw the
- 17:15Speaker 1: flag on you here, PAULI, but I will tell you
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'm concerned. I'm concerned about this because I've I've been
- 17:20Speaker 1: on the side of fading the Texans for a few weeks.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I've been high on the Colts. I don't know, man,
- 17:26Speaker 1: at some point do we just have to look in
- 17:28Speaker 1: the mirror and realize that maybe the Texans team is legit,
- 17:30Speaker 1: Like maybe they're just really good almost. I think the
- 17:33Speaker 1: Texans for you are like the Ravens for me, like
- 17:35Speaker 1: I can't. But the difference is this team is nine
- 17:38Speaker 1: and three. Yeah, I know the Ravens, they're getting fed
- 17:42Speaker 1: Plata and amost not no way you're making this guy
- 17:44Speaker 1: can't playing bloom shacka locka. They're playing better. It's like, yeah,
- 17:48Speaker 1: I get what you're seeing. The one thing that worries
- 17:53Speaker 1: about the Texans, and this is where it looks DeShawn
- 17:57Speaker 1: Wants has not thrown for over two hundred and thirty
- 18:00Speaker 1: nine yards in the last seven games. Like this is
- 18:03Speaker 1: a passing league and they win one way, and that
- 18:08Speaker 1: to me is a concern. That's why when you have
- 18:10Speaker 1: a Colts team that's more well rounded with the way
- 18:12Speaker 1: they can win football games, That's what worries me about
- 18:16Speaker 1: the Texans is they win one star. That's the same
- 18:17Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, right, And look, I know it's maybe
- 18:19Speaker 1: tough sometimes to to convince yourself that that's a winning way,
- 18:23Speaker 1: but I can't. I can't see it. Like the Colts
- 18:26Speaker 1: can do a lot of things and they're gonna come
- 18:28Speaker 1: in this game upset, especially they lost the first game
- 18:30Speaker 1: over time and that was a close game as well.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I just I can't. Maybe the Texas win this game
- 18:35Speaker 1: by overfield goal. I don't see it, man, Yeah, I
- 18:40Speaker 1: mean that. That's why I'm not throwing the flag on
- 18:42Speaker 1: a Pouli because I think it's it's close. And you know,
- 18:45Speaker 1: you're catching four and a half indivisional game, as you said,
- 18:47Speaker 1: Andy has to have, and they're off a bad effort,
- 18:50Speaker 1: so you know, let's let's hope for the best. All right,
- 18:54Speaker 1: you're a buddy. My next pick, I'm sticking with the
- 18:56Speaker 1: NFL here, I'm taking the surest betting entire damn league,
- 19:00Speaker 1: and it's in New England. Patriots. All right. I don't
- 19:03Speaker 1: care that they're in Miami. I don't care that they
- 19:05Speaker 1: struggle in Miami. You know what I do care about
- 19:08Speaker 1: that everyone listening to this has already gone and bet
- 19:10Speaker 1: Miami plus nine and the numbers now down to eight.
- 19:13Speaker 1: All right, give me the Patriots and laying the eight points.
- 19:16Speaker 1: They are the only certainty in the NFL weekend week out.
- 19:22Speaker 1: They not only win games, they cover them. And if
- 19:25Speaker 1: you need a little extra motivation, this game matters to them,
- 19:29Speaker 1: whereas a lot of years it doesn't. Because they've got
- 19:31Speaker 1: the Texans right on their heels for the second seed
- 19:34Speaker 1: in the a f C. They're still trying to catch
- 19:37Speaker 1: Kansas City for the one seed. This game is important
- 19:39Speaker 1: to New England. New England by about a thousand. They
- 19:45Speaker 1: have struggle for whatever reason in Miami. It's very odd.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I don't get it, um, but isn't this true? Man?
- 19:51Speaker 1: We have all these teams kind of like all up
- 19:54Speaker 1: in the air, and Steelers a struggle last night, and
- 19:57Speaker 1: Chargers playing well, and the Chiefs didn't terribly great against
- 20:01Speaker 1: the Raiders, and and the Ravens of one three in
- 20:04Speaker 1: a row with them are jack like everything is kind
- 20:06Speaker 1: of like this is weird. And then look over here
- 20:07Speaker 1: in New England just quietly stomps the Vikings out playing
- 20:11Speaker 1: some good football. It's just New England's playing their football
- 20:14Speaker 1: in December like they should be. And so I agree
- 20:16Speaker 1: with you. I think they go into Miami and try
- 20:18Speaker 1: to solve this curse of the Dolphins, um and cover
- 20:21Speaker 1: this game. So I'm with you here, all right. I'm
- 20:25Speaker 1: a third pick already. Um. I said I was gonna
- 20:28Speaker 1: be weird with it. And also I'm gonna throw it
- 20:29Speaker 1: a pick. I'm not gonna take this pick, but I'm
- 20:31Speaker 1: in this parlay, but I will take it eventually. Alabama
- 20:33Speaker 1: Oklahoma under seven or nine and a half. It's gonna happen.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I'm that was gonna be my word. I'm not gonna
- 20:37Speaker 1: take it here because I found another pick that I
- 20:40Speaker 1: think is better for this week. Especially give me the
- 20:43Speaker 1: Browns at home plus one over the Panthers. First of all,
- 20:48Speaker 1: the Panthers are now like one in six against the
- 20:53Speaker 1: spread on the road or one in five agains. They're
- 20:55Speaker 1: awful on the road this season, awful on the road
- 20:58Speaker 1: this season, and for whatever reason, of course, everyone's betting
- 21:02Speaker 1: on the on the Panthers again so far. Uh in Cleveland, Yes,
- 21:05Speaker 1: Cleveland came off their worst performance of the year offensively
- 21:08Speaker 1: really may feels you know, through for a thousand yards,
- 21:10Speaker 1: but three three turnovers. Uh, they played better than the
- 21:12Speaker 1: second half of that game. The Panthers are not the Texans.
- 21:15Speaker 1: The Panthers go back on the road again. They've lost
- 21:17Speaker 1: four in a row now, Greg Olsen out for the
- 21:20Speaker 1: season with a busted up foot. Cam Newton's shoulder is
- 21:23Speaker 1: not what it used to be. They had to bring
- 21:25Speaker 1: in the backup to throw a fifty yard of hail mary,
- 21:27Speaker 1: not not seventy a fifty yard hail mary. They're bringing
- 21:30Speaker 1: the backup quarterback for that. The Panthers team looks lost
- 21:33Speaker 1: right now. Defensively, they are not what they're supposed to be.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Ron Rivera took over the defensive play calling juice from
- 21:40Speaker 1: Eric Washington. I think they're in disarray. Um. I like
- 21:44Speaker 1: the Browns here to win this game outright, and you
- 21:46Speaker 1: give me a point, I'll take it. I love it.
- 21:50Speaker 1: I love it the Panthers. I I was high on
- 21:55Speaker 1: the Panthers about three or four weeks ago, and now, Jeff,
- 21:58Speaker 1: I'm officially ready to say they stink. They stink a
- 22:04Speaker 1: bad team, and I'm gonna go one step further. They're
- 22:07Speaker 1: gonna totally finish this collapse. And Ron Rivera is out
- 22:10Speaker 1: of a job at the You know, I like I
- 22:11Speaker 1: like Rivera, and obviously I live here in Charlotte, Like
- 22:14Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of firing coaches very often. Um,
- 22:18Speaker 1: but Ron river is in a great job here. He's
- 22:19Speaker 1: been very under Ready he'll be he'll be hired in
- 22:21Speaker 1: two seconds if he gets fired. But with a new owner,
- 22:25Speaker 1: his first year owner and David Tepper, I kind of
- 22:27Speaker 1: think he's gone. I don't want to see it because
- 22:29Speaker 1: I think he's done a lot with a little at times,
- 22:31Speaker 1: and the team is not as talent as people would
- 22:33Speaker 1: like to think it is. But um, you can't start
- 22:36Speaker 1: six and two and then not make the playoffs. No, no,
- 22:39Speaker 1: it's a train wreck. What's going on there right now?
- 22:42Speaker 1: How about this stat By the way the Panthers have
- 22:44Speaker 1: been existence since I think I want to say ninety five,
- 22:47Speaker 1: I should probably know this. I played for them, they
- 22:49Speaker 1: have never had back to back winning seasons in their
- 22:52Speaker 1: franchise history. They made the playoffs three years they rode before,
- 22:55Speaker 1: but one year with seven eight and one. Yet to
- 22:58Speaker 1: have back to back winning seasons and then time. I mean,
- 23:00Speaker 1: what does that say about Ron Rivera? Jeff? I mean,
- 23:02Speaker 1: he's essentially the NFC's version of Marvin Lewis, right, but
- 23:06Speaker 1: he's made a Super Bowl. Though he made it, they lost,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I know, But I mean they've they've played well and
- 23:12Speaker 1: and an injuring part about the way they're playing now too,
- 23:14Speaker 1: is Ron Rivera is really good in December, um, which
- 23:17Speaker 1: is quite yesterday he's not. But it's interesting because they've
- 23:22Speaker 1: played well in December, and it's it's you don't normally
- 23:24Speaker 1: see this type of poor performance late in the season.
- 23:29Speaker 1: PAULI what do you think about this pick? I like
- 23:31Speaker 1: to play I I do. I mean, like I played
- 23:34Speaker 1: them in the second half yesterday, and it seems like
- 23:37Speaker 1: he Cam now is like he trusts one person. So
- 23:41Speaker 1: it was all the Christian Jeffrey every time, maybe once
- 23:44Speaker 1: in a a while the Funches and then he decides, you
- 23:47Speaker 1: know what I do not he has so many trust
- 23:49Speaker 1: is usual, trust is Christian and himself. And then they'll
- 23:52Speaker 1: throw the ball off to Funches. And you know, ever
- 23:55Speaker 1: since Oldston got hurt, they've never been back and sinking.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I don't know, oh, I mean, it's the most underachieving team.
- 24:01Speaker 1: And like I said, you have to sip the coil
- 24:03Speaker 1: with Carolina every weekend. By the way, Cam Newton is
- 24:07Speaker 1: two and nine December, that includes the lost yesterday. Said
- 24:10Speaker 1: they do plays a really good ball in the year,
- 24:11Speaker 1: but they just haven't haven't shown this year and maybe
- 24:13Speaker 1: there said there's some correction now, um kind of getting
- 24:17Speaker 1: to the mean in December football. All right, PAULI your
- 24:20Speaker 1: last pick. You're up, man, Okay, I'm gonna go, uh
- 24:24Speaker 1: maybe a little bit outside the box and teams that
- 24:26Speaker 1: I sort of didn't believe in, and I'm gonna go
- 24:29Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears plus two points against the Rams
- 24:32Speaker 1: at home. I think this is going to be the
- 24:34Speaker 1: biggest game in Chicago in a long time. And you
- 24:38Speaker 1: know the way the Bears fans um on how they
- 24:42Speaker 1: won't at least some where they're going to come out.
- 24:44Speaker 1: And you know, yesterday watching golf, I I really feel
- 24:50Speaker 1: that my homes and some of the other guys, they
- 24:53Speaker 1: stand in there a little bit more sturdier. With pressure,
- 24:56Speaker 1: you can get the chaired goff a little bit. And
- 24:58Speaker 1: I have a they're gonna come at in in so
- 25:02Speaker 1: many different ways and get in his face. Hopefully be
- 25:05Speaker 1: a nice little cold day they're in Chicago, and I
- 25:09Speaker 1: think it's just time. I think it's time for the
- 25:11Speaker 1: Bears that take that stuff. Matt Maggie is just done
- 25:13Speaker 1: unbelievable to get that game and over time. First of all,
- 25:15Speaker 1: yesterday was unbelievable. Um in whatever quarterback he throws out there,
- 25:20Speaker 1: the system is working and I think they'll be able
- 25:22Speaker 1: to put up points and I think their defense will
- 25:24Speaker 1: will will definitely show up. I don't hate it, PAULI,
- 25:29Speaker 1: I'm good with it. I think that the Bears defense
- 25:31Speaker 1: is going to be real fired up, and um, you
- 25:35Speaker 1: know the Bears are kind of the Bears remind you
- 25:37Speaker 1: a little bit of the Rams, don't they. I mean
- 25:39Speaker 1: with the way they their offense kind of works at
- 25:41Speaker 1: this point, it's it's reminiscent of it a little bit.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Trabisky is kind of following the path that Goff did.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Disappointing first year, much improved the second year. They used
- 25:50Speaker 1: Cohen and Howard really nicely. Um yeah, I don't hate
- 25:55Speaker 1: this on the road. I think the Rams in a
- 25:57Speaker 1: cold weather outdoor environment can can be can be got into.
- 26:01Speaker 1: I think this is a great pick, um Paul, because
- 26:04Speaker 1: Mr Bisky will be back. I assume um home Doog
- 26:07Speaker 1: is fantastic, and the Rams are not very good at
- 26:10Speaker 1: covering this year. They're a great team, but they're not
- 26:12Speaker 1: great at covering that you know we cover yesterday late
- 26:15Speaker 1: Todd Gurley tried not to cover. He tried to run
- 26:17Speaker 1: the clock out, and then Matt staffort through a pick.
- 26:20Speaker 1: You know, they had the ball twenty seconds left at
- 26:21Speaker 1: like the eleven and threw a pick and end zone.
- 26:23Speaker 1: They had a chance to cover that game. The lines
- 26:26Speaker 1: did so I'd like to pick here. Alright, black Check,
- 26:28Speaker 1: you're up, all right, I'm gonna go to Sunday as well, Jeff,
- 26:31Speaker 1: But I'm not going to football and going back to hockey, baby,
- 26:33Speaker 1: back to the ice. We got an NHL game that's
- 26:36Speaker 1: really piqued my interest on Sunday. It's the Philadelphia Flyers
- 26:39Speaker 1: at the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets are not only the
- 26:43Speaker 1: better team in this matchup, but they have the advantage
- 26:46Speaker 1: on the schedule as well. This game is at three
- 26:49Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern in the afternoon. The previous day, Philadelphia is
- 26:53Speaker 1: on the road in Buffalo playing a one o'clock Eastern
- 26:56Speaker 1: game against As we talked about, a very good Buffalo
- 26:59Speaker 1: save his team. Now they go second game of a
- 27:02Speaker 1: back to back on the road, second day in a row, too,
- 27:05Speaker 1: afternoon games in a row at Winnipeg. Love the Jets
- 27:09Speaker 1: take them on the money line, black Jack says. So
- 27:13Speaker 1: I'm taking the Jets on the money line, all right.
- 27:16Speaker 1: We have our nine picks. Let's recap all nine of them.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I took Baltimore plus seven against the Chiefs. I took
- 27:23Speaker 1: Arizona plus two and a half at home against the
- 27:27Speaker 1: Lines this weekend, and I ended with Cleveland plus one
- 27:30Speaker 1: against the Panthers. That as in Cleveland as well. Paula
- 27:33Speaker 1: duca Buffalo plus nine got a great number against the Jets.
- 27:37Speaker 1: You better hop on that now, people before that changes
- 27:39Speaker 1: that they're at home against the New York Jet. Second
- 27:43Speaker 1: pick took the Colts plus four and a half at
- 27:45Speaker 1: the Texas. The Colts obviously losers and six nothing yesterday.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Remarkable getting some points here like this play, and ends
- 27:52Speaker 1: with the Bears at home Big game Bears Rams Bears
- 27:56Speaker 1: plus three and a half. Blackjack. First pick going with
- 27:59Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Golden Knights against the l A Kings
- 28:02Speaker 1: on the money line, sat a little hockey action, bringing
- 28:05Speaker 1: to the Parlay podcast goes back to football for a
- 28:08Speaker 1: second pick in New England minus eight at the Miami
- 28:11Speaker 1: Dolphins and ends with another hockey play, the Winnipeg Jets
- 28:14Speaker 1: money line on Saturday against the Philadelphia seven sais that
- 28:19Speaker 1: is all that's give me the Philadelphia Flyers. Let's just say, what?
- 28:23Speaker 1: Can I throw a flag on the last one? I
- 28:25Speaker 1: want to throw a flag on the Winnipeg Jets. Yeah,
- 28:28Speaker 1: because I'm worried that they're not gonna be able to
- 28:29Speaker 1: drink beer. They're not gonna be hungover. What what the
- 28:35Speaker 1: hockey players usually get hungover, drink some beer. I'm a
- 28:38Speaker 1: little worried. I'm not going over there gonna get a
- 28:39Speaker 1: nice sleep. So I don't know, but I want to
- 28:42Speaker 1: be hungover, Polly, what the funk are you talking? What
- 28:45Speaker 1: are you talking about? They didn't get the joke, Just
- 28:49Speaker 1: go ahead to raise it from the podcast. It's not
- 28:52Speaker 1: a podcast. Is unbelievable. Why why would you do do a podcast?
- 28:56Speaker 1: What can you explain? Because I'm playing on back to
- 28:58Speaker 1: back nights? Is that what you're talking? H Yeah, back
- 29:01Speaker 1: to back nights? You ever seen, dude? You played black?
- 29:04Speaker 1: You played back to back nights all the time. You
- 29:05Speaker 1: guys drink all the time in between games. Yeah, but
- 29:08Speaker 1: then I wouldn't play. I had a backup, that's right.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I know a lot of baseball players that drink after
- 29:13Speaker 1: a night game before a day game and still play.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Come on, do a lot better one than So why
- 29:21Speaker 1: do you flag? What do you throw the flag? Then? No,
- 29:26Speaker 1: I was just saying I was just trying to make
- 29:28Speaker 1: a joke. Ah good, I mean, I can't argue with
- 29:33Speaker 1: black drinking hockey. It's money, I tell himself. What an
