  Welcome to Nate's Daily Wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
• 0:10
  am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
• 0:13
  mouth is. This is Nate's Daily Wager for
• 0:25
  January 15th, 2024 and interesting set of games
• 0:31
  yesterday. Fun to watch and unfortunately
• 0:37
  my over didn't hit They just needed one more touchdown.
• 0:42
  But for some reason Mr. Stafford just couldn't get into the end
• 0:47
  zone. Oh, pretty much all game when he
• 0:50
  got to the red zone. So, all right, but hey, Cousin
• 0:54
  Vinny, serving up winners like he does, I mean, he's been
• 0:58
  giving them to you all playoffs all season.
• 1:02
  He's got another one for you today.
• 1:03
  So listen to that. When I get done here for me, I'm
• 1:08
  looking at this home dog. You know, Philly is just not
• 1:14
  good right now. They're playing horrific.
• 1:18
  They lost their number one receiver.
• 1:20
  Jalen Hurts has a bump finger on his throwing hand.
• 1:24
  So yeah, I just don't think they're going to.
• 1:27
  I don't think they're going to be able to match up.
• 1:28
  Their secondary sucks too. And you know Mr. Baker, he's
• 1:35
  been flinging the pill and doing what he needs.
• 1:38
  So I think, I think they're going to win outright, but I'll
• 1:41
  take the points because they're at home.
• 1:43
  But I'll sprinkle a little on that money line.
• 1:44
  So we're going to take Tampa Bay Buccaneers, plus three against
• 1:49
  the Philadelphia Eagles and today's NFL wild card matchup.
• 1:53
  See anything better than that? Pound it.
• 1:55
  That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
• 1:57
  And listen to Vinny. He's got some winners for you,
• 2:00
  Vinny. Yo, let's call some Vinny.
• 2:11
  It's Monday playoff wild card weekend Monday.
• 2:14
  We got two games today. Bonus game today with the
• 2:17
  Buffalo Pittsburgh game getting moved from yesterday due to the
• 2:20
  white out conditions in Buffalo, NY.
• 2:23
  So let's jump into it today. I'm not going to pick either
• 2:26
  game. Too much uncertainty in both
• 2:28
  games. The weather provides uncertainty
• 2:30
  in the first game and then the enigma that is the Philadelphia
• 2:32
  Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers backing into the playoffs makes
• 2:36
  me reluctant to pick either team on a hunch here, but I'm going
• 2:39
  to pick on things that I do know and looking at that late game
• 2:42
  there's a couple things I know. One, Eagles secondary stinks.
• 2:46
  So for that reason alone, I love Mike Evans over 67 yards.
• 2:50
  Eagles second safeties are all banged up.
• 2:52
  Avante, Maddox or slot corner might be playing safety today
• 2:57
  and they have a couple guys who are questionable.
• 2:59
  I think Evans is going to have a field day.
• 3:01
  He is in pseudo contract year. He just has done nothing to
• 3:05
  prove everybody wrong. Couldn't be a tough one for the
• 3:07
  Eagles to defend him. The second one is Jalen Hurts.
• 3:10
  His finger is is all jacked up, dislocated middle finger on his
• 3:15
  throwing hands. The last finger to touch the
• 3:18
  ball. When you throw a spiral without
• 3:22
  A.J. Brown and a bad finger you know
• 3:25
  Jalen's going to be tucking it and running all day long.
• 3:28
  The over under on rushing attempts for him is 8 1/2 so we
• 3:32
  like the over there. I think this is Indesign.
• 3:36
  Runs alone should be, you know, 5-6 runs plus you get two or
• 3:42
  three times he's going to scramble out.
• 3:43
  I really like to hit this to hit.
• 3:45
  And then the last one, eagle second, second.
• 3:48
  Running back Kenny Gainwell rush yards in at 13 1/2.
• 3:53
  We'd like the over. Kenny Gainwell, while not the
• 3:56
  most dynamic runner, is great at picking up the blitz.
• 4:00
  Expect hot bowls to throw blitz packages at the Eagles all day
• 4:04
  long knowing that A.J. Brown is out, knowing that
• 4:08
  they've had a hard time picking them up in the previous week, so
• 4:13
  Kenny game was going to be in the game.
• 4:14
  Since he is a very good pass blocker, he can stay back, pick
• 4:17
  up the blitz. So I expect him to be in a lot
• 4:20
  of packages today on offense and I think he can have two or three
• 4:24
  runs of four or five yards and easily covered at 13 1/2 rush
• 4:28
  yard rushing yard over under. So roll these three up if you
• 4:32
  want to live on the edge and parlay them for +500 or
• 4:35
  individually take any one of them.
• 4:39
  If I had to circle one of them, actually I don't even know which
• 4:42
  one I would circle, so I'm just going to roll with the plus 500
• 4:44
  on the parlay here. And in the early game, if you
• 4:48
  want to have some action for your viewing pleasure, sprinkle
• 4:52
  little nugget on fournet to score touchdown playoff Lenny at
• 4:56
  +500. So until next week in the
• 4:59
  divisional round, it's Cousin Vinny.
