1:03
Okay okay okay we're here we're back and Christmas is over.
1:10
We are currently recording on Tuesday because of some scheduling conflicts so the lines that we
1:17
give out today may probably definitely will change. But Merry Christmas from all of us
1:26
it is week 16 or is it week 17? 17. Oh god okay. Yeah the end is nine. Yeah I am ready for the
1:37
playoffs though. I am ready to not see bad football. Bad football teams play. I'm ready for that to
1:45
not happen anymore. Just me personally. But we're gonna let's let's recap last week. It was Christmas
1:59
we had Saturday games Sunday games multiple Monday games. But this week we don't have we don't have
2:04
any Monday night games which is kind of weird. And I don't know how many do we only have one Saturday
2:12
game? Yeah I believe so. Weird I don't know. But I think it could rock. Could rock. Could rock.
2:21
Before we get into it what were our records from last week? Someone not me so I don't have to talk
2:29
about it immediately and bring the room down. Okay Chris what did you do? I had a pretty good week.
2:39
It started out terrible Thursday and whatever Christmas Eve Eve whatever day that was I was
2:46
terrible. But then Christmas Eve and Christmas day that's pretty good. I went like I went seven to
2:51
eight and five overall. So not a bad not a bad Christmas for your boy. I don't think that feeling
3:00
is shared amongst the rest of you. But Sean how did you do? Yeah you're correct in that statement.
3:11
Started off Thursday going oh and two. Christmas Eve Eve I was I went I swept the board
3:19
which I was like great good moments I'm going into Christmas Eve and then I won one bet out of
3:29
eight that I had. Oh yeah seven or eight I think.
3:38
Yep and luckily on Christmas Eve I texted the group chat and I was like hey I need a
3:46
I need a pick for the Sunday Night Football game. What do you got? And Chris responded with Patriots
3:53
plus seven and a half and I was like adding it but I can't count that on my official card.
4:01
And then Christmas I just got smoked. I went one in three. The only saving grace was the Over
4:08
in the Ravens 49ers game. It wasn't a very holly jolly Christmas if you ask me but whatever.
4:18
We're moving on. We're getting to the point where we're about to bring bets into the new year.
4:25
So let's hope some of that luck transfers over to this week. But Will what did you how did you do?
4:35
So without getting into specifics I ended up going three and nine.
4:42
Saturday didn't win a bet. Sunday won a couple. Christmas didn't win a single bet.
4:51
Oh god it was so bad. I was trying to focus on good tidings and chestnuts roasting on an open fire
5:02
on this Christmas day rather than me throwing money in the trash. So yeah I'm choosing to
5:14
put that aside. Put the aside of me having two bad weeks in a row. We're going to put that away
5:21
and we're going to lock it in a chest and we're going to throw it away and we're never going to
5:25
we're never going to think about it ever again. We're going to return to confidence
5:29
because that's what I was doing last week. I was betting scared. I was like am I bad am I good this
5:35
I was bad. All right we're back. We're officially back. I'm calling it. I'm betting on it.
5:43
I'm betting on me being back. Okay week 17. Let's get into it. First game only one Saturday game
5:51
Saturday night football. This game could be awesome. It has very high potentials of being awesome.
5:58
Talking about Lions Cowboys Cowboys at home favored by six currently it is Tuesday.
6:06
Lion could possibly change. Yeah the Cowboys lost the fraud bowl but it was close.
6:18
That one just kind of seemed like a couple different things go a different way than they
6:22
could have pulled out the dub. I don't know I still think they're a more complete team than
6:28
Miami but I don't know shows what I know I guess excuse me. Lions locked up the division. They
6:37
seem like world beaters with also doing something stupid every game. So I don't know are there
6:45
world beaters. I don't know. I think we'll find out. But anyway Lions Cowboys Cowboys
6:51
favored by six. Chris what do you think about this game. Well like you said in the beginning of
6:57
describing it this game should rock. I hope it rocks. I'm taking over 53 and a half. I believe
7:03
last week Sean read a stat that the Detroit Lions are averaging over 30 points a game when they
7:08
play inside. Is that correct. Yep that is correct. And the Dallas Cowboys play inside. So
7:17
Michigan over 30 again. Correct. Statistically speaking. Statistically speaking. So yeah and
7:24
the Cowboys we know what they do at home. They just they score. That's just what they do. So I
7:29
think this game could rock both teams 30 honestly. So I'm taking over 53 and a half. Will what are
7:36
you taking. I'm taking the same exact thing over 53. Oh my god. I am I'm retiring the prime time
7:49
under this at this point in the season. It it's done. It's done its thing. And where it's it's
7:58
leveling back off. We're moving on. We're not taking prime time under is anymore.
8:05
That doesn't mean prime time overs but are you done just like blindly betting them. Are you
8:12
never going to bet a prime time under again. I'm done. Blinding betting them. OK. This season.
8:18
Yeah I know not like for the rest of your life. You said ever again it's like well I meant this
8:25
season ever again this season. Yes because we are slowly going into when all the games are
8:33
prime time and I'm surely I'm sure as hell not going to be betting the under and every single
8:37
game. Yeah. Taking over 53. This this I didn't want it was tough picking aside. So obviously I
8:47
didn't with the Lions there. I mean they can put up points there inside. I do think that
8:57
the Cowboys are a more I don't know put together team. I don't know but they they're definitely
9:04
I definitely still think that they're one of the best teams in the league. They could be frauds but
9:11
still. So six is kind of a lot for the Lions but also the Lions could easily just do something
9:22
stupid. And you know when they do something stupid that's probably like a pick six or
9:29
or fumble recovery for touchdown something stupid. So I'm choosing points. I'm choosing over 53.
9:38
Sean what do you got. I also have the over but as I said last week this will be since the Lions
9:48
are playing indoors for the remaining remainder of the season I will be taking their team total
9:53
over 23 and a half as well. This was hard picking aside but I think
10:06
okay if these teams were to face each other in the playoffs I would hammer Detroit.
10:13
I would hammer Detroit but interesting since since this is well if if it's at the playoffs it
10:19
it's at Detroit. Yeah. Yeah. So it's on the road with the Cowboys but I I'm not betting
10:27
prime time unders anymore. They've lost four in a row. They're on a two and eight losing streak
10:33
in their last 10. It's all over for me over 53 and a half. It's high. Let's have some fun on
10:39
Saturday night. Hell yes. I took all 10 of those those two and eight bats did not go away. I know
10:48
you did. I put that I put that little stat in there just in case you were going to take the under
10:55
again. No I'm I'm done. I was really I was really hoping to persuade you out of it but
11:02
you don't have to watch this. Okay. Okay. Next game dolphins at Ravens Ravens beat the Niners.
11:12
Does that mean the Niners are not the best team in the league. Who's to say Niners are still very
11:19
good. I didn't end up watching the rest of that game. I was on the East Coast time zone
11:26
so I fell asleep on the couch and I'm a stick but I did watch the first half and Ravens they just
11:35
seemed to be able to make the play. That's that's just what it's and that's what the Niners
11:41
felt like felt like they could do throughout the season. But Ravens at home in Baltimore
11:50
favored by three and a half. I'm taking Ravens. I think that this is this is one of the better
11:57
teams that the dolphins can play and this is they got up for last week against the Cowboys.
12:03
I don't I'm not sure. That was still a close one.
12:05
I don't think they're even smoke them but definitely like more than a field goal right here. So
12:13
taking minus three and a half. They just seem really well put together. It doesn't really seem
12:18
like they have any glaring holes. I don't know. That's just what the way I see it.
12:23
Sean what do you what do you see here. Well I want to start off by saying this is
12:29
absolutely crazy to me. This game has not been flexed. This is being played at
12:34
noon. Yeah what a travesty. This is a fight for the one seed. And this is this game is
12:43
being playing being played at noon. This is the most important game of the weekend I think.
12:49
And it makes me sad that not all of America is going to be able to watch it. That just makes
12:54
me sad incredibly sad. But I really hope the NFL comes to their senses before this releases. But
13:02
anyways Ravens are on a short rest week flying back from California to play the Dolphins at home.
13:10
Dolphins finally got a decent win against a winning team. I think this one will be tight.
13:18
Could be a very defensive minded game. I do want to lean Dolphins plus three here.
13:25
But for right now I'm just going to take the under at 47. But check back on Sunday to see the
13:33
official pick. I may double dip. Not sure yet. But under 47 is my official play for the moment.
13:40
Chris what you got. This game makes me nervous because all week I've been like the Ravens are
13:49
going to beat the hell out of the Dolphins. Like it's just it's going to happen. The Ravens are
13:57
just a much better team. The Dolphins I still I know they beat the Cowboys. I still think they're
14:01
frauds. But now as we get closer I'm like the Dolphins you know like they could pull one out.
14:09
Like the Ravens are as high as a team can be right now almost. I'm sticking with it. The
14:15
Ravens minus three and a half. Miami is Miami still only beat one good team all year. And to
14:22
ask them to do it again on the road in Baltimore. They'll probably be freezing cold. That seems
14:28
like a tall task. So give me Ravens minus three and a half. I don't love it as much as I've loved
14:34
it like well the last like two or three weeks. I'm like oh the Ravens are going to stomp the
14:38
Dolphins. And I'm like yeah they'll probably win by four or five points. But that'll be good enough
14:44
to cover. So Ravens minus three and a half. This game also makes me nervous for the under
14:49
because was it two years ago when the the Dolphins came back from that crazy game. I believe it was
14:58
two years ago. And I think it was in Miami though but two literally threw for like almost 600 yards.
15:06
Yes. That was in Miami. Yeah. Yeah it was in Miami. But yeah it makes me nervous for the under
15:12
but it will be cold. Baltimore weather isn't great. So maybe it'll be a little bit rainy but
15:20
I'm a little I'm with you. I'm a little nervous on my pick as well.
15:25
Yes. Dolphins got to go into Baltimore. They're probably going to get mugged on the way in.
15:32
Just see what happens. Just see what happens. Ravens minus three and a half.
15:37
Okay. Next game. Big playoff implications. Steelers at the Seahawks. I feel like
15:46
the Seahawks never play like a regular ass game. It's always it's always kind of weird.
15:53
Steelers beat this shit out of the Bengals. Handedly quite handedly. The Seahawks beat
16:00
the Titans who aren't who have got nothing to play for by three points came back from that.
16:10
Excuse me. Great job. Yeah. Good job. Ravens are favorite by three and a half points in Seattle.
16:19
Seahawks. Yeah. Is that what I said? I said Ravens. Fuck.
16:24
Seahawks. Too many birds. Yeah. Too many stupid birds. Seahawks minus three and a half at home.
16:36
Chris. What do you think about this game? Well I didn't really know what to make of it in my stupid
16:44
dumb brain. So I went to the good folks over at Trent Center and dug up a little little stat.
16:49
Since 2015 teams who are playing the Seahawks when they are dogs between three and eight and a half
16:59
are 31, 13 and three against the spread. Six, two and two in their last 10.
17:06
Steelers plus three and a half is the play. Like you said the Seahawks never play in a normal game.
17:13
So this could easily come down to a field goal at the end to win it and they win by three or less.
17:17
So give me Steelers plus three and a half and let's keep riding Mason Rudolph.
17:26
Sean, what are you taking? I'm also taking the Steelers plus three for completely different
17:32
reasons but I do love that stat from our friends over at Trent Center. I don't think the Steelers are
17:39
very good. Still even after they're pretty impressive win on Thursday or last Thursday but
17:48
Mike Tomlin just finds ways to win in December and Seattle obviously the better team especially
17:57
being at home but is anyone going to be surprised that the Steelers can keep it close and keep Tomlin's
18:04
500 record alive? Not really and also the Steelers play the Ravens in Baltimore week 18
18:15
and I can see that record still being very much intact this season
18:20
but I'm just going to lay the points to be safe. Steelers plus three and a half.
18:26
Oh you okay? Yeah I hit my knuckle on the side of the table. Were you slamming your hand to agree?
18:34
Like yes. Celebration. Sure yeah. Was it just like fixing my headphones or anything?
18:42
I do agree with you obviously. Cool. Well what you got? I am also on the Pittsburgh Steelers here.
18:51
Like I said Seahawks never play like a real normal ass game. I did a little bit of digging
18:57
and it seems that the Seahawks in the majority of their wins this season against teams with
19:06
like a pulse they're only winning by like max three. Like if you look at all their record for
19:12
this season it's like they're winning these games by three sometimes two sometimes four points so
19:19
it's an average of three and I mean are Mike Tomlin underdog stats dead? Not yet. He's still a head
19:29
coach. I'm taking the Steelers plus three and a half here I think. Yeah who has the who's leading
19:38
that division? The Steelers division the AFC North. Ravens. Oh right. The team that's leading the AFC.
19:45
Sorry. It's been a long weekend. Hey.
19:57
Sorry. I forgot the teams for a second. Anyway I've taken pit. Next game.
20:03
Bangles at Chiefs. Chiefs lost to the Raiders.
20:06
Was that Christmas? Yeah that was yesterday. Hilarious. Yeah hilarious.
20:15
Just Patrick Mahomes just giving away the game and it was hilarious seeing the the TikToks after
20:23
of Mahomes like being like this to his receivers teaching them how to catch the ball. It was
20:31
pretty funny. Well I mean okay even Travis Kelsey tried to grab a couple of catches by one hand
20:41
and it's like hey let's not try and get on ESPN tomorrow let's just catch the damn ball
20:48
and oh god but it was funny that they lost. Yes. Chiefs are favored by seven at home.
20:57
The line feels correct. It feels correct to me but this game has me in a pretzel like I don't
21:08
want to bet on the Chiefs because they are not the Chiefs that we have come to know.
21:15
But I also don't want to bet on Jake Browning. I don't want to bet on that guy again.
21:21
I got no faith in him anymore. He crossed me. Gosh I do not know. I don't have a pick. I was hoping
21:31
that you guys could perhaps guide me in your okay. Sean go. Well Chiefs Kingdom is in absolute
21:44
shambles. The throne is collapsing and it's hilarious but Patrick Mahomes has absolutely
21:53
no help at receiver. He has literally nobody but Travis Kelsey to throw to.
22:00
So it really isn't that surprising to me that they're not like a 12 win team at this point in
22:08
the season if not if not you know more wins but Patrick Mahomes they still can't cover these
22:17
spreads larger than three. The Bengals need to win both remaining games to have a chance at the
22:23
playoffs and if the Chiefs play anywhere near as bad as they did on Christmas this could be close.
22:31
I'm taking the Bengals plus seven. Chris do you have a pick or I have the Bengals plus seven written
22:41
down. Okay and I'm just thinking like man like the Chiefs got to get right at some point right.
22:49
I mean I think they'll win. Yeah but like the Bengals stink like Browning's I mean
22:56
I know it's only been one game but he looked terrible. He also didn't have his best receiver
23:06
out there. Is he playing is Chase playing this week. I'm not I don't know I don't I'm not sure
23:12
yet I mean they practice hasn't even happened yet so. Yes that's fair. What's the total in this 44.
23:20
I don't know I didn't even look. I looked at it earlier today I'm pretty sure it's 44 I just want to see
23:30
that's my B. I guess I should have been more prepared. It just I don't know I can't see what is
23:40
correct in my brain or for what is the outcome for this game. I think it's 44 and a half so give me
23:51
that under. Neither offense is very good right now so that's also a fair pick. Yeah I don't I don't see
24:01
and the Chiefs defense is good like the Raiders didn't complete a pass in the second half.
24:07
Yeah that was crazy. That's hilarious so give me yeah give me under 44 and a half.
24:17
Okay I'll probably end up taking that under. I just I it's very difficult for me to take
24:23
either side here because she's just sliding is not playing good ball right now and Bengals are
24:29
just a product of their situation. It's they could easily you know keep it close but it's I don't
24:38
know it's just just a crap shoot. Well last game on the on the slay we'll really really dive in here
24:46
is Sunday night football Packers at the Vikings Vikings are currently favored by one and a half.
24:52
I feel like that line will change. I did hear that TJ Hawkinson is out for the
25:01
remainder of the season so that is tough. Chris what is what is what do you pick here near.
25:13
I know prime time unders are on life support right now but I'm taking under 46. This is the
25:21
definition of loser leaves town loser is eliminated from playoff contention so both defenses are
25:26
going to be playing with their hair on fire. They're not going to let anything get by them.
25:30
Yeah give me under 46 just for that like this is the season on the line for both teams so
25:36
defenses will come to play under 46. Sean what do you got. Yeah this is a playoff game. Yeah this
25:44
is a this is a playoff game both teams seven and eight one gets back into the wild card race.
25:52
Doesn't mean they'll they'll make it but this is a playoff game. Loser will be eliminated.
25:59
The winner could be two but not this is a long way to go before we we can decide that you know
26:05
like I'm going to take the Vikings here Vikings minus one and a half Vikings one by two touchdowns
26:14
in Lambo earlier this season without Justin Jefferson but also they didn't have Nick Mullins
26:20
as they're starting quarterback but Justin Jefferson should be back this week so I like the
26:28
Vikings here at home so give me the Vikings minus one and a half. Well okay I did a little digging
26:38
found a couple trend center stats and I am taking Green Bay Moneyline I think yes this is
26:48
I Packers are kind of on a slide they barely beat the Carolina Panthers last week
26:55
but I think missing TJ Hawkinson is massive and I don't I don't think Justin Jefferson
27:01
ever came back from his injury right he's I'm pretty sure he's back oh he played last week
27:09
he did this yeah yeah oh okay um I just this is this is a divisional game divisional dogs on the road
27:21
pretty good I'm taking Green Bay Moneyline here this is this is easily like I don't know
27:28
do I ball in the hand of someone that can win you a game is it Nick Mullins probably not
27:38
is it is it uh Jordan Love probably not but you definitely want that more on Jordan Love
27:47
he's like won them games this year yes I say one of those guys has won a football game this year
27:54
yes yes so I think that Green Bay Moneyline is is the play here um I the under does look
28:09
very tasty but I don't want to take it because I'm afraid I'm afraid of of unders now I'm I'm scarred
28:19
but that is the slate that's the main slate what we're talking about well hold on hold on I got
28:27
one more thing um I I respect your Packers pick they just they wronged me on Sunday they wronged
28:36
me I had Packers minus four they were up what uh at halftime it was like 23 to 10 so they were up
28:47
by 13 and then they and then in the fourth quarter it's 30 to 30 against the Carolina Panthers
28:57
and yeah they won but they didn't cover the spread so they they were they wronged me so
29:04
I respect your pick but personal personal reasons I will not be taking the Packers
29:11
I respect your decision based on those those factors I would definitely do the same in your
29:17
position okay that's the main slate um let's get into our surefire double unit plays of the week
29:25
uh I lost mine last week I think I lost mine in the week before too uh did not go very good for me
29:31
obviously um but you know what we're back we're back winning our double unit plays you got to win
29:38
those to stay afloat and this one is brought to you by the great folks over at the trend center
29:44
okay found this absolute gem of a stat okay they uh the trend center has these um these trend scores
29:55
that that rate each trend on a scale of one to 100 100 obviously being the best that you can be in
30:02
zero is don't don't bet this obviously um this one has a trend score of 100 since 1989 you would be
30:14
up 82 units taking this trend this is late season underdogs all right the play is giants
30:24
plus six and a half after week 16 underdogs with spreads under eight and the total is between 40 and
30:32
49 are 164 74 and six since 1989 that is insane plus 82 units you're a hundred dollar better you got
30:45
82 grand eight that you have you have eight grand exactly you don't have you don't have 82 thousand
30:55
dollars exactly you didn't say that that's exactly what I said Sean okay anyway why are you
31:04
well why are you just repeating what will is saying will in his math yeah Jesus giants plus six and a
31:14
half is the play against the Rams um yeah Tommy DeVito he's gonna go out with a bang he definitely did
31:22
not show up against the Eagles uh that well um but is he gonna play I don't know oh yeah Tyrod finished
31:30
that game yeah Tyrod was kind of the hero in that game he was swinging yeah yeah all right
31:37
a little more confidence here a little more confidence here taking the giants plus six and a
31:42
half Chris what is your play all right well well much like you my surefire play of the week is also
31:49
brought to you by the great folks at Trent's Center uh is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the
31:55
New Orleans Saints under 42 and a half this isn't as a deep dive of a stat this is just the last
32:02
two years but the last two years NFC South the Vision Games are 21 and 12 towards the under
32:11
eight and two in the last 10 and also the under a six and one in the last seven between these two teams
32:17
so like what more do you need and it's also a little more of the same in the same vein as the Packers
32:27
Vikings under this isn't actually it pretty much is loser lose town well if the Bucks lose they're
32:34
still in it but the Saints lose they're done so I think both defenses are gonna come to play just
32:40
yeah let's get it let's get an under let's cash yet another surefire play so Sean what are you taking
32:45
um I will also be taking uh something in the in the Bucks Saints game um I'm going to take the
32:54
Buccaneers minus three here Bucks are red white lava hot Baker Mayfield cannot be stopped Bucks
33:04
sweep this series and put the Saints out of playoffs now I've mentioned it a few times but
33:10
I have a future for the Saints to not make the playoffs and man this would cash both
33:19
and not both but you know what I mean but it would be double it would be yes it'd be double so
33:26
this is almost this is a triple unit essentially almost almost yeah well if it wins yeah yeah
33:33
yeah pretty much yeah let's go yeah let's go Bucks minus three hell yes the bake show is back
33:41
okay what is the rest of our cards um who wants to go first I went first on the surefire
33:49
Chris you go first okay actually I do want to go first because I want to talk this game out
33:54
real quick okay the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals should the Eagles be favored by
34:02
11 and a half against any NFL football team right now uh I mean the Cardinals just did get their
34:11
ass smacked with a wooden paddle I know but the Eagles they're like they're like honestly
34:19
like just like not good right now it's not like oh they're rough patch they're not a very good
34:23
football team right now 11 is a lot and it's at home right yeah I think so
34:35
yeah I don't know I have Cardinals written down here and it's Cardinals plus 11 in my notes
34:41
Philly shouldn't be double digit favorites against anyone so now but the more I look at it I'm like
34:46
they gotta get like a big win against someone yeah like um well who's leading that division
34:56
is it the Cowboys of the Eagles are they tied it's the Eagles currently yeah
35:02
I don't I just don't know well thanks to our good friends at turn center there are
35:08
three stats on the Eagles all with above 80 percentages for the Eagles minus 11
35:14
and and nothing for the Cardinals so do with that what you will
35:21
scratched it out and it is now Eagles minus 11 or is 11 and a half now I don't know
35:29
either one I'm taking it um all right so that's situated that was good talk good to talk it out
35:36
all right the rest of the ones I'm sure about uh Niners mangers over 49 uh San Francisco's pissed
35:45
they they're gonna put up some numbies in this game and I mean the commanders are god awful but
35:52
I think San Francisco can get uh five touchdowns in this game I think pretty easily so if I just
36:01
need if I just need two from the managers I'll take it so over 49 uh Raiders plus three against
36:08
the Colts Antonio Pierce might be my favorite coach of all time this guy rocks um and I hate the Colts
36:17
so Raiders plus three plus they they're just so fun the Raiders are so fun right now they're a fun
36:22
team like they're smoking you can't really say that about them in the past no actually probably
36:28
very seldom you couldn't even say that about the Raiders like six weeks ago yeah honestly
36:38
they just had to get rid of that wet blanket the head of the head coach
36:42
so if they don't make Antonio Pierce like I have no emotional stake in this team whatsoever if they
36:49
don't make him the head coach like I what's the point of watching football yeah I agree he he deserves
36:56
that job they're gonna probably hire fucking Frank Reich again it's on to like a 12 year contract
37:02
you know the Davis family but yeah so Antonio or I'm gonna say that Tony appears plus three
37:10
hey that's the same thing it's the same thing Antonio Pierce plus three against the Indianapolis
37:16
Colts all right all right serious all right Falcons plus three against the Chicago Bears Falcons
37:26
need to win this game to have a chance to make it into the playoffs and I don't believe in the
37:32
Bears like cool they're they're scrappy they're scrappy but they're beating like I know the Falcons
37:38
are not a very good team but the Bears are just being bad teams and the Falcons they have something
37:45
to play for the Bears have nothing to play for it'd be better for the Bears to lose this game actually
37:51
yeah sure yeah so yeah and then yeah that's it and then Giants plus six and a half that will
37:57
gave out and I'll be writing that as well because that stat was perfect so yeah that's the car
38:05
who wants to go next I'll go all right okay I got the bills minus 12 at home you know looking
38:14
to strengthen their playoff chances oh shit who they playing yeah yeah Pat's oh god yeah like
38:23
just one more one more Bella check beat down probably his last season in New England just
38:31
love it um I also have the Cardinals Eagles under 49 uh that's just too damn high
38:37
that's just too damn high um and especially we're going back to uh a little thing we discovered
38:46
last season but these these large spreads of you know 10 or more unders are I don't know I don't
38:53
have the exact number on it but they were good they were good I added Giants plus six and a half
39:01
uh thanks to Will and Trent Center plus I've uh did I say minus my bad Giants plus six and a half
39:10
um I also have the Raiders Colts under 44 and a half uh both teams still have a chance to win this
39:18
their respective divisions I think this will be a really tight defensive game um I also have the
39:26
49ers minus 13 and a half uh they're just pissed off they're just pissed off they're playing a bad
39:33
team and Chris you said they're gonna score five touchdowns easy easy and that's the card for right
39:41
now oh hold on well give yours I'm gonna look up the something okay uh so the rest of my card um I
39:50
have the over in the Dolphins Ravens game I'm double dipping that game uh last time they played uh it
39:58
was I believe 42 to 39 um I looked that up before the show obviously um and then the time before that
40:07
was like 50 to 10 in like 2019 it was insane um yeah I think I I'm betting this over I'm betting
40:18
this over over 47 um I hope it's uh I hope it's a really good game um and then my only other pick
40:27
is Falcons Bears under 37 and a half uh Bears have been playing pretty good defense um the Falcons
40:36
always find a way to not score a lot of points um they pretty not not smart very incompetent um
40:45
but they do they do need to win obviously um so I think the Falcons D will play better obviously um
40:54
so under 37 and that is my card um yeah all right do we have any closing thoughts? Christopher?
41:02
I am adding 49ers team total over 30 and a half I think that's I think that's a good one I've
41:11
I've said multiple times I get five touchdowns easy so I kind of have to take it yeah kind of
41:16
what's that what are the is that their set team total um I mean on five touchdowns no that's
41:24
under half Kings it's the only one without a plus sign okay so it's like minus 105 or whatever
41:32
it's minus 120 okay weird okay yeah so yeah over 30 and a half well that's six and no that's not
41:39
that's that's five touchdowns yeah you need five it's at least five or four in a field goal but yeah
41:48
yeah it's at least five math no one said we were a math podcast yes
41:58
and uh I mean the commanders have the 32nd rank defense in the league so
42:02
so now I played the worst game of the year last year last week he was so they so covered though
42:12
yeah yeah what was the line was I don't know either but I know they lost they lost okay they lost but
42:19
I I pretty sure they covered because I saw like a a trend center thing for um the 49ers
42:27
manneders game that was like uh if the team covered the spread it's like if the team failed to cover
42:39
the spread which is the 49ers and then the team covered the spread in their previous matchup
42:46
it's like so that was obviously the manneders so I'm pretty sure they they covered they did yeah
42:53
they the chests were two and a half point favorites which is very surprising
43:02
just just I know the commanders that's just such a it's just such a home spread like that's just such
43:08
a like a home team like yeah we'll give you we'll give you a field goal someone's gotta be favored yeah
43:15
yeah cool well I think that's it then we kind of covered everything from last week
43:26
pickings are a little bit slim at least on my end just because it seems that
43:32
you know we're at that point in the season where this team needs to win in order to make it to the
43:36
playoffs or you know this guy's this this team's fighting for their playoff lives this guy's got
43:41
to lock up the one seed so it's a lot of um other factors that kind of come into kind of come into
43:51
each game here um so the slate that we chose is like all right all of these games actually matter
43:59
all the rest are you know matter less you know um like I don't know I mean I guess the titans game
44:09
kind of matters because we're playing the Texans and matters for one team yes it matters for one team
44:16
that is the same thing for the the Eagles game you know they gotta they have to beat them in order
44:23
to stay competitive in the division maybe lock up the one seed in their in their division yeah I'm
44:28
just looking at this the slate there aren't any games where it's two mathematically eliminated teams
44:35
well I like I I think there's how many teams are actually eliminated I don't think it's really like
44:45
that many considering how late we are in the season yeah the Broncos aren't eliminated are they
44:51
I don't believe so somehow they are I was thinking Broncos chargers because I'm pretty sure I mean
44:59
if they're not technically mathematically eliminated there are there might as well be the
45:03
chargers because they glow give me one second here so there's one two three four six seven
45:15
there's only eight teams that are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention in week 17
45:22
how are they they are the New York Jets the New England Patriots the Tennessee Titans the Los
45:28
Angeles Chargers the New York Giants Washington Commanders Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals
45:35
no one from the NFC North is mathematically eliminated and no one from the AFC North is
45:41
mathematically eliminated so yeah and all those teams that are eliminated are playing teams that
45:47
aren't so that's yeah very interesting to see in week 17 yeah um I think it's really surprising
45:55
that the Bears aren't eliminated yet because they just keep winning like what they're what the hell
46:02
are they doing there are there a six-win team I know but in week 17 like it's I mean it's crazy
46:09
that they're not eliminated yet the Seahawks have that last seed don't they and they're seven and eight
46:15
right yeah seven and eight or something they're only a game they're a game back
46:20
so as it stands the current playoff picture is Ravens at the one Dolphins Chiefs Jags Browns
46:33
Bill's Colts 49ers Eagles Lions Bucks Cowboys Rams Seahawks that inside it's gonna be so fun
46:45
yeah yeah I mean there's it's all gonna be fun but that that's awesome
46:55
one two three four yeah I mean I think both sides could be fun honestly I mean yeah they
47:01
have the same amount of teams that the five teams that aren't eliminated yet that could still get in
47:07
but I love this time of year I think it's great when just stupid analytics and stupid stats just
47:16
come down to deciding who's in and who's out and why they're not mathematically eliminated yet I love
47:22
it yeah yes it is parts of it are electric definitely if if you were to rewind the season
47:34
and tell me that the Tennessee Titans would be worse than the Chicago Bears I might have I might
47:42
have slapped you I don't know if you guys put that together yet but I guess I know I guess I kind of
47:52
knew it but I hadn't really thought about it yeah like I know I know the Bears have more wins than
47:59
the Titans but I hadn't really processed it yeah I don't know maybe I shouldn't have said that
48:10
leaving notes oh we suck so whatever okay well hold on real quick okay just as as the playoff
48:21
standing stands I could very much see it being exactly what it is right now yeah we're like
48:31
nobody like really sneaks in it's it's I think it's pretty much set in stone at what it is
48:40
who's the team like the next team up I guess you can say in the NFC like below the Seahawks
48:47
Vikings where are they seven and eight I mean they win Seahawks lose yeah I mean that's really
48:58
that's really kind of it though like yeah everyone other than that I think it's just kind of like a
49:03
battle of seeding yeah other other than the Texans and Colts like I could see the Colt I could see
49:12
the Texans being in more than the Colts at this point just because you know Antonio Pierce and
49:19
where the Texans have to play the Titans the Raiders are they're 11th so but they could
49:28
what's crazy is that they could still win that division can they yes yeah they beat the Chiefs
49:34
they can still win this division who do they play next week next week the Raiders play the Broncos
49:43
which is a which is another great matchup because the Broncos beat the Chiefs dude if the if the
49:52
Raiders win and the Raiders already beat the Broncos week one if the Raiders I'm saying this
49:58
right now the Raiders win this week next week they're my surefire barring like and barring an
50:05
injury to someone good if they if it's like winning in they're easy yeah I think yeah I
50:17
yeah that might be a double unit play just not as a sure that might be more than double unit
50:23
responsible I don't know week 18 is gonna be crazy but we're gonna get through week 17 first
50:32
yeah I guess I don't look at it so yeah don't look at it just let things play out yeah player games
50:42
um I think that's it yeah I think that's it um crazy shit this week um definitely
50:49

51:55
and the charlotte bobcats before they renamed themselves the hornets after the first hornets

left that's such a better name yes it is the charlotte bobcats were a cursed franchise
52:09
