- 1:05Here we're back. Three for the Money. New episodes every Thursday. We're here and we're back. How many
- 1:14times am I going to say that? I'll never stop. But I did say it twice today. Okay all right we're
- 1:22back. There is no sports on other than baseball. Now that the conference finals are over for NHL
- 1:32and NBA. So I've been kind of boring the past couple days. I've seen a lot of soccer on TV.
- 1:42I haven't watched it. But I saw that it was on. And that counts for something. Was it like
- 1:53national teams or like MLS or something? It was like dude I don't even know. I couldn't tell you.
- 2:02You don't know who was playing? No there was a crazy man. I'm thinking it was some like European
- 2:07League. Okay. But it was on at night here which doesn't make a lot of sense for the time zones.
- 2:18I mean like like 10 o'clock at night or like 2 30 in the morning. Like what kind of night are we
- 2:25talking about? Like 7 p.m. I mean there's soccer played everywhere. Yeah. Could be like South America
- 2:35or something. I mean yeah. Could be. But okay I'm gonna throw it to Chris. How have you been doing?
- 2:47All right. Gambling's kind of cooled off the last few days since the calendar flipped June.
- 2:53Had some bad beats the last few days. Had a really bad beat today. Not really. I guess you
- 2:59don't want to call it bad beat. It more just really pissed me off real quick. Had Mets first
- 3:07five team togall over two and a half. Finished fifth inning with two runs. So lost. And then before
- 3:16an out was recorded in the sixth inning they scored four runs. So I was furious. But hey that's
- 3:28baseball. It's the way she goes. Yeah. I mean other than that doing all right. Hanging in there
- 3:34taking a day by day. All that all that shit. How are you doing Will? I'm doing okay. I've been
- 3:44betting here and there. Kind of like you know just sort of paying attention to to each book and
- 3:53seeing you know what what boosts are where and if I can get a free bet something like that. I'll
- 3:59just I'll just go to the trend center. Let's see since last week I'm up like two and a half units.
- 4:08Excuse me. Something like that. Thank you. But yeah I think right now. Oh I had a ten dollar
- 4:18free bet for soccer and I put it on Norway minus two twenty five and they won. So that
- 4:31paid out like four forty four. Woohoo. Let's see. Oh I had a I had insurance token. From
- 4:50from last. It was the free bet from the first bet I had for an insurance token.
- 4:55Put that on the Rockies today. And obviously I think Chris knows how that went but
- 4:59obviously they lost. I actually I was gonna say I don't remember how to finish the reds were ahead
- 5:04last time I saw. Well they won twelve to seven. Let's fucking go. And then later on tonight I have
- 5:12the Padres money line against the angels. So. Fuck the Padres. Okay. I've taken them the last two
- 5:20days against the god awful angels and they've lost. Oh. Well they're due. Yeah. I guess I just I saw
- 5:29that on trends today that was like their top trend. I could not do it. I hate the Padres right now.
- 5:37I'm sure it's probably going to win now that I'm not taking it but the Padres are on my shit list.
- 5:44That's okay. Do you respect the do you respect the trend not the team.
- 5:48Oh yeah. I mean the trend had won like 15 in a row or something like that. I would just like
- 5:54last two days I bet against the Padres or bet on the Padres against like I said the god awful
- 6:00angels and they one was first five and they pushed and the last night I had a money line
- 6:06and they were tied going into like the seventh and I think they gave up four in the seventh
- 6:11and they lost and I just I can't do it. If it was any other team I would have bet it but I
- 6:18cannot bet on the Padres right. I did it. And they're probably. What time does that start.
- 6:26Starts at 8 30. 8 30. Yeah. Okay. We have 40 minutes to convince Chris to take the Padres.
- 6:35I mean I'm about I'm thinking about taking it right now honestly. We'll see.
- 6:38I have the pirates money line right now they're ahead knock on wood. They're up by three I think
- 6:46in the seventh if they win I'll take I'll take the Padres. Okay. I used an odds boost on it.
- 6:5350% so it was at minus 150 so now I got it at plus 100. They were minus 150. Yeah. I know it's that.
- 7:03Yeah. It's pretty juicy. A little juicy. So I got it like a team total or something. That makes me
- 7:11nervous. Anyway. But yeah I'm just you know whenever I am browsing the trends I'll I'll check
- 7:23that shit out see what see what a bet MGM gives me not not a sponsor.
- 7:29I'll just boost tokens insurance tokens things like that.
- 7:35And I'll I'll bet that shit. Okay. Sean I know you're not betting. How are you doing personally?
- 7:44Um I'm good. I'm doing good.
- 7:50Yeah. No no complaints really honestly. Oh yeah. Yeah. Let's go. I'm doing pretty good.
- 7:55Vibe. Vibe dude. It's it's it's the summer.
- 8:02Like you can't be in a bad mood in the summer.
- 8:06Not it's not possible. When the Padres give up four in the bottom the seventh you can't be but it's
- 8:12it's fine. Well that's that's why I'm responsibly retired to no peace during the summertime
- 8:19because I just want to relax and just even though you know I still work a full-time job every single day but you know
- 8:28Sean's out here on summer vacation. Yeah. Honestly this is this kind of feels like the closest I've
- 8:36felt to summer vacation since. Because you're not gambling. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what that's.
- 8:43It's nice. It's nice. Okay. So in the intro I sort of mentioned how there hasn't been really
- 8:53sports in the past few days because of the conference finals those ending. But I did see
- 9:02Chris is he he perked up a little bit and he was like well well so I think is that telling me you
- 9:11have an AFL update. Oh no. Actually AFL has been rather quiet at least from what I've seen this week.
- 9:21So suspicious suspicious. Yes a little suspicious. So I'll keep I'll keep an eye on that but
- 9:28just no sport like the WNBA is not sport. No. Oh. Kate and Clark's idea of just getting body
- 9:37checked into the stands and we're like for nothing apparently. How you do.
- 9:46I mean that's honestly one of the fairest takes I've seen on all I mean honestly like that's not
- 9:53wrong like. Not not a wrong statement. It's I'm sure no I'm sure this has happened to other
- 10:04rookies as well like you know they get pushed around because they're rookies and I don't know
- 10:10man she got like I don't know. She didn't let out but also have we just not noticed because
- 10:19we haven't had a big name. I mean honestly that's fair. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
- 10:27This could be the WNBA initiation. You just get like yeah you get body slammed into the third row
- 10:33every week. It's like well fucking way she goes but they're playing on like ESPN 12 and nobody
- 10:40knows. So yeah I mean people are watching. I wouldn't be surprised if you know these girls get
- 10:51I mean I wouldn't be surprised if these girls get you know rough during these games
- 10:56like if people are acting like this is the first time it's ever happened like in the WNBA. I'm
- 11:02sure it's not. I don't know. I don't know but that is this is like we discovered some ancient
- 11:09civilization. We're like hold on. We have to learn their customs before we judge. Gotta pay your dues.
- 11:18You gotta pay your dues to make 40 grand a year. Yeah. I think Angel Reese got fined.
- 11:25It was actually not related to Caitlin Clark. This was she was like got tossed by a ref
- 11:33obviously by a ref maybe a couple nights ago. I think she got fined $300. It's kind of a lot.
- 11:40It's half their salary. It's kind of a lot. I mean it doesn't seem like a little unfair to like
- 11:49for this league to be fining people. I mean the fines are you know a step below suspension.
- 12:00I mean maybe like suspension you lose more money. Maybe I like having to do some like jumping jacks
- 12:05or something. In a sweaty gym where you could watch them. No I'm just saying if you're if you're
- 12:14getting paid pennies maybe don't find them. Okay. Have them run like run the bleachers or something.
- 12:23Don't do this shit. I'm not saying no punishment. I'm just saying fine when you're getting paid like
- 12:301200 a year. I think no matter what gender you are what sport you play whatever like if you
- 12:39if you do something that's like heinous and worth a fine you get that fine like this is something
- 12:48you do with gender it's the fact that I don't get paid. No I'm I'm just like you're getting paid
- 12:54to play a game and like it doesn't matter like it doesn't matter the dollar amount like if you
- 13:01if you fuck up then you get fined like I don't I don't think it matters the I mean look if they
- 13:10were getting five grand off there I think that's the maximum for the NHL is five grand.
- 13:16I think it's the maximum salary in the WP. It might be but like still like if you get if you
- 13:24get if you mess up and you do something if you fucking elbow somebody you get you get paid to
- 13:32play a game at the end of the day and if it comes out of it it happens in every league.
- 13:40This is really the only thing that makes them legitimate it's that they're finding their players.
- 13:45That's a Lonzo ball offered to pay Angel Reese is fine. Good on you sir.
- 13:55Yeah. Pocket changed it. Yeah.
- 14:02Fuck that guy honestly. Yeah that guy hasn't played in like a year and I mean no fault of his own
- 14:10injuries but still he hasn't played in a year and a half. Did you got I'm I'm going to switch
- 14:18topics from the NBA or for the WNBA real quick since we're on contract talks. So Justin Jefferson
- 14:26just signed his like monster deal right. Yeah. Did you know that he makes less than Ben Simmons
- 14:37per year. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that. That's insane. It is wild. Okay. Right now. Who plays more games
- 14:51next year. Justin Jefferson or Ben Simmons. Justin Jefferson. Like are you talking. No. No. More
- 14:59games. No more games. More games total or like a percentage of their season. No more games total.
- 15:07Oh I think I mean I question. I probably your question. I'd probably still go Justin Jefferson.
- 15:14Keep it in mind. One of the plays in 82 games. Yeah. I'd probably still go Justin Jefferson.
- 15:20I feel like that is the correct answer. Yeah. Yeah. I mean how many he played like 12. Ben Simmons
- 15:28played like 12 games last year or something. Let me look it up. Well what is your prediction.
- 15:35Shit man. Like I know he he like stepped away because of his mental health or something.
- 15:43I think I think if I'm remembering that correctly I think that was a couple years ago.
- 15:48Really. I thought it was like last year and it was just like I mean I can't get any worse. So
- 15:54that who like you could take your pick of the last five years when that was and you
- 15:58you there's decent chance you were right. I mean I'm just saying like everyone hates him
- 16:07and so he's probably like everyone hates me. I'm from Australia. Last year he played 15 games.
- 16:16So close. That's that's rough. Well Justin Jefferson didn't play the whole season. So that's
- 16:22why I'm looking up Justin Jefferson. I think he I think Justin Jefferson played like seven games
- 16:26before he got hurt. What was his injury though. It was probably something real.
- 16:32Yeah it was something real. It was something with his knee or something. I don't think he tore
- 16:36anything but I think it was something like with his knee. What are you laughing at Will.
- 16:45Something real. Well Ben Simmons injuries are fictitious. Yeah they're made up. He makes them
- 16:53spend Simmons hates basketball. I've been saying this for years. He hates basketball. I'm just saying
- 16:59it was a funny thing to say. It's that's what I'm like. But it's also true. It's very funny but true.
- 17:11Jordan Jefferson played or Justin Jefferson. Justin Jefferson played 10 games last year.
- 17:16So 10 games. So now it's a fair question. He plays more games. I mean Ben Simmons can't
- 17:26keep doing this right. Yes he can. Yes he can. 100 percent can. But nobody expects anything from him.
- 17:36If he plays more than 20 games people are like look at Ben Simmons he's back.
- 17:40Like nobody expects anything from him. Yeah. He can keep doing this. If he played if he didn't
- 17:51play it all of next season nobody would retire that and I this pisses me off. Just fucking retire.
- 17:57He's got to get paid somehow. Yeah but he's getting bags dude. Yeah. He's getting would you retire from
- 18:04staying money would you retire from something we were making bags. No if no I don't but it pisses
- 18:11me off. Oh yeah me too. But I'm just going to accept because I work so hard for so little and
- 18:19this man does nothing and gets so much. He worked hard at one point. There was a few year stretch
- 18:28where people were Ben Simmons was like hey this could be the guy and then he just forgot how to
- 18:35play basketball and start taking it was the process. He was a part of the process. He was. Yeah he was.
- 18:48Oh shit what was I supposed to say. That's funny. Have you all seen that meme where it's like Ben
- 18:54Simmons posted him himself to an off season workout and people are like you know the summer is
- 19:00officially here when Ben Simmons posts himself playing basketball in an empty gym.
- 19:07Man.
- 19:10That's so sad. No it's not. It's not sad. No he's making generational wealth dude jack shit.
- 19:19It's not sad. I don't care. He's not alone. Someone's got to take those pictures. Someone's
- 19:26got to pass on the ball. I guess you're right. Someone has to take the picture. Also like I
- 19:33feel no sympathy for this grifter whatsoever. Okay.
- 19:41Okay. Let's see. Do we want to get into the playoffs.
- 19:52Oh yeah. They started yet. Yeah. I mean we're talking about the matchup.
- 19:59No we can't. So fast. Yeah. So they okay. Like.
- 20:04Huh. No I just said like they both went by in like five games each.
- 20:13And then now we have like nothing for the next week. Yeah. So the Edmonton Oilers won in six
- 20:22games against the Stars and yeah definitely did not see that coming. I'm gonna be real.
- 20:29So when the Stars tied it up 2-2 that was like it's over. And then they just like caught fire.
- 20:38Now they're winning these games. And like dude this might be it man. Like this might be
- 20:46this might be Connor McDavid's first Stanley Cup. It might be because it's got to happen.
- 20:52It has to happen at some point. So what are y'all's like official. I know well you have
- 20:57an oiler's future. Sean you have an Oilers and you have the Panthers as well. I know you have an
- 21:02Eastern. No. My Eastern was the Hurricanes. Hurricanes. Okay. So I know that well you're for the Oilers.
- 21:12Sean you going for the Oilers. I'm with the Oilers. I don't think they'll win unfortunately.
- 21:19Yeah I don't think they'll win but yeah I didn't think that win last series or really honestly
- 21:24I didn't really think that win the series before either. If it's if they if they win the cup
- 21:31it's the team of destiny. Like that's what this is. And because they have no earthly business
- 21:38honestly winning this cup with them. Yeah. It's weird to say that when they also have
- 21:46the best player on the planet. Yeah I know but that's no I get what you're saying. You are you are
- 21:52right. Yeah it's just a weird thing to say. They have like three good three four great players
- 22:01while like the Panthers are like super deep. The Panthers are super deep. The Oilers have no
- 22:07goaltending like at all. Hey he showed up. He showed up. He showed up these past this. He showed
- 22:15up this series. He did. But yeah it's just I don't know. It's like the Oilers are like they're
- 22:22they have the two best players in the league but that's like that's what it just feels like.
- 22:28That feels like that's all they have while like the Panthers are just so deep.
- 22:33That it's it's it I don't know. That's why I say there'll be a team of destiny because
- 22:40McDavid has to get a cup. Yes he has to get at least one. He has to. Yeah but this is something
- 22:50I found interesting today that the top four picks from the 2020 the 2014 draft are all playing in
- 23:00the Stanley Cup final. Yep with Aaron Eckblad, Sam Reinhart, Leon Drysidle and Sam Bennett.
- 23:12Three of those players are on the Panthers. Top four picks. It's wild.
- 23:22So I unfortunately think the Panthers will take this but I'm rooting for the Oilers.
- 23:28Yeah so the nation of Canada has not won a Stanley Cup in how long? 93.
- 23:39Since 93. I think so. I think that's right. Sounds right. Who won that? The Canadians.
- 23:48Okay I know the Oilers haven't been to the finals since 1990. They haven't been to the
- 23:54finals since 04. Or the last time they won there they haven't won a cup since 1990.
- 24:03Yeah okay. Well I was just thinking like the nation of Canada has not had to stand the Cup
- 24:09winner since 93. How many fans outside of Edmonton are rooting for the Oilers?
- 24:18That's tough. I feel like all the Canadian teams hate each other. Yes it's you know it's
- 24:26what's the team. What's conservatively so. Yeah but would you root for a team that's just
- 24:32specifically in America? Is that why are you rooting for the Panthers? No I'm just saying like
- 24:38that's kind of like a narrative is how Canada has not won a cup in X amount of years.
- 24:44And now they have a chance but I feel like all the teams in Canada hate each other.
- 24:51So is the nation of Canada rooting for the Oilers or are they like no fuck this team.
- 24:58Because we hate them. They're rooting for the Oilers in the sense of like
- 25:05you know we're they're a team from Canada and like there's so few Canadian teams
- 25:13compared to other ones in America. So they're not like they're they're rooting they're you know
- 25:19I hope Edmonton wins but not so much. I was really I was really hoping a lot of Canadians and I don't
- 25:26know what the actual consensus is but I was really hoping a lot of Canadians be like no I hope the
- 25:31Oilers don't win. That way America could claim another cup because if the majority of Canadians
- 25:37are against them then America gets the claim. That's how it works.
- 25:45Well if we think about this logically. If if if the nation of Canada is rooting against the Oilers
- 25:53to win then America against the claim. That's factual. I understand the words you're saying.
- 26:00I don't understand the if the nation of Canada is overwhelmingly against the Oilers winning the cup
- 26:08then it doesn't count as Canada winning the cup. So that means America gets to claim it.
- 26:16By default. Well I don't know. That's just logic. That's just science. I don't know what is so hard
- 26:25to understand. Well logically half of Alberta is not rooting for for the Oilers because yeah I'd say
- 26:37that half is Calgary. Yeah Calgary's the other half of Alberta. And then I was thinking like
- 26:42Vancouver hates Edmonton don't they. Well they just lost to them in the playoffs. So I thought they
- 26:48also had like a rivalry. I could be totally wrong. Maybe. So they're probably rooting against them.
- 26:56Leafs and Canadians I mean like their their fan base is so die hard that like I don't know.
- 27:03I feel like they don't give a fuck about anyone outside of
- 27:06yeah Toronto and or Montreal. Yeah so cross them out.
- 27:13And so like the Lakers the Jets and Ottawa like that's
- 27:16that's and that they could be like and does anyone really care about them.
- 27:21No nobody wants to go to win a peg.
- 27:29And I mean I've heard Ottawa was pretty nice. We'll give them Ottawa.
- 27:36All right we will grant you Ottawa. I just want Canada winning a cup and then a bunch of Canadians
- 27:43to be furious. That would be hilarious. Yeah I don't think the overwhelming consensus is that
- 27:53all Canadians are against the Oilers. I feel like definitely Calgary and Vancouver any team that's
- 28:03in the West is not wanting Edmonton to win but they do want their country to finally get a cup.
- 28:12Maybe. So they're kind of like middle ground but also like if you're in the East
- 28:22like Toronto and the Canadians like they play the Panthers like pretty often.
- 28:29So they're kind of like I don't know about this team. See the vibe I get from Toronto and Montreal
- 28:38is there so like fuck everyone else. We are the best regardless of our history. That's the way I
- 28:44see it. They need to be the ones to win it first. So I think they are secret not maybe not secretly.
- 28:52I think they are wanting Edmonton to lose so they can be the first ones to win it.
- 29:00Good point. Yeah it's just like that shit is not going to happen.
- 29:04Yeah but they're delusional. So yeah.
- 29:10That's a good point. I mean they've been to a cup final recently so maybe they could get back.
- 29:17Whatever. That cup did. I mean Toronto is never going to sniff it. So I'm just saying
- 29:26Montreal it's coming home.
- 29:27This has been quite the meeting of the minds to discuss the hatred within Canada.
- 29:36That's just been I've been thinking about this for a while. It's like I feel like every Canadian team
- 29:40hates each other. So outside of like Ottawa and Winnipeg I feel they all hate each other.
- 29:49So I mean would they be happy if Edmonton. Would Canadians be happy outside of Edmonton
- 29:54if they if the orders won. It would be residual happiness. Like if they didn't want Edmonton
- 30:03to win and then they won they'd be like well at least Canada finally got one first time in 30 years
- 30:11or whatever. And that's kind of the way I see it. Okay. Like a little silence. That makes sense.
- 30:17I just wanted them all to be mad. So the United States get by default claim another cup. Well
- 30:27honestly as an American I'm kind of hoping that Canada gets a cup. Has this been too damn long.
- 30:34I don't know. No not even like a little bit. They beat us. They beat us head to head all the time.
- 30:40I want to keep the cup. Yeah. But this is the if a Canadian team is going to do it.
- 30:48It's this team. It has to be this team. I want the Oilers to win that way next year when it's
- 30:55like an American team versus an American team probably for the cup. I get to tweet like hey
- 31:01it's coming home. Just for a tweet 365 days later. I don't care. Yeah. If it's not the
- 31:13breads. Yeah sure. Which won't be right. So. But yeah it's a interesting point.
- 31:22Well this I don't even know. I'm being honest. I don't even know what side they're on. I wish I
- 31:32knew because I'm really curious now. I am too because I have seen like articles written like
- 31:40I mean I have no idea if they're like actually based in fact or not be like Canada could win
- 31:45their first cup in next many years. Do they really like not do they care but like are they
- 31:50really like wanting it. So that kind of made me think it's like I wonder if they actually like
- 31:58is that true. Yeah. I don't know. It's
- 32:07there's like Canadian bias with with each team and like TSN.
- 32:14You might as well call it Toronto Sports Network. It's it's supposed to be that's what that stood
- 32:19for. And I would believe you. It's supposed to be the sports. Yeah. But it's like very very Canadian.
- 32:29Yeah. If you watch the NHL free agent frenzy then you're it's going to be like oh the National
- 32:38Predators they they signed Ryan O'Reilly to a pretty big pretty big ticket you know for a veteran
- 32:45player. Well let's see how the signing of Ryan Reeves is going to is going to affect the Toronto
- 32:55we're live with Ryan right now in his apartment. Ryan can you help us win the Stanley Cup.
- 33:03Please. You know like I'm just going to go out there and I'm going to be physical and
- 33:07you know I'll protect the boys out there. Ryan do you think we'll go to the playoffs.
- 33:13Oh you know I'm just going to go out there and score some goals and probably not but
- 33:21so it's just like those been 30 seconds on like any other signing but as soon as the Leafs sign
- 33:30some Joe Schmo off the street just jerk them off. Yeah. So I don't know. There's a lot of bias up there.
- 33:39I think you guys might be right about like especially like the Leafs and the Canadians
- 33:45because I found a New York Times article about this Cup final. It's like why the Oilers are
- 33:52not Canada's team in the Stanley Cup final and America's team. They they like they kind of like
- 34:00interviewed some people and they were like look the vibe we got like most the majority of like the
- 34:08diehard hockey fans in Canada being actively rooting for the Oilers as if they were cheering for
- 34:15their own team. They were like no. No. It's not their team. Yeah. I mean but like they're they're
- 34:24not rooting if you're if you're they're not rooting for the nation of Canada. They're rooting
- 34:29they're not but they're also kind of rooting against the Oilers because they're not their team.
- 34:37Like that's yeah that's what's funny. That makes me so I think I think I think this might come to
- 34:45a close that Canada is not a majority of Canada is not for the Oilers to win the Cup. All right.
- 34:53Edmonton Oilers America's team. Let's go. Bring it home baby. Bring it home.
- 35:00Bring it home boys. Okay. Moving on from the NHL. We'll touch a little bit on the NBA and then we
- 35:11have some some some totals to get out to give out some some some props we like for the NFL season
- 35:20but real quick the Mavericks are going to the final with the Boston Celtics and just immediate
- 35:27first take by me. I think that this is the Mavericks shot more so than it is the Celtics.
- 35:38Like it feels like if the Mavericks don't win it they're not coming back and it feels like if
- 35:45the Celtics win it they they can they can just come back or like if they lose they can just come
- 35:51back to the finals. I get yeah I get that. Yeah because I felt the Celtics their window I mean
- 36:00it has been open open for a while and I feel like it's nowhere near closing. I mean I'm not like
- 36:06don't have my thumb on the pulse of the NBA but as a casual it feels like if they don't
- 36:12like you say if they don't win this year they could very well be back next year and the Mabs like
- 36:17I mean I know Luke is very young but like who knows how Kyrie is going to be next year even like he
- 36:24might do some weird shit off the court. Like I feel like yeah I feel like you're right well this
- 36:30is the Mabs like they have it like they have to get it now. Yeah I mean that's really all I got for
- 36:39it. I mean I might I might I might sprinkle the Mabs honestly maybe like Mabs and seven
- 36:43that could be fun. It could be fun. It could be some some fun sports on. I am definitely going to try
- 36:51and watch like all the all the Stanley Cup final games. I'm going to try to do that. I'm going to try
- 36:56to watch every every finals game like both sports. I hope they have them on alternating nights that
- 37:02would be fantastic. I think I know the NBA starts like one of them starts tomorrow.
- 37:12Tomorrow like Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's the NBA.
- 37:19I think the other one starts the next night. If I'm NBA starts Thursday June 6th NHL starts
- 37:27on Saturday. Okay. The NBA takes so many days off in between. Yeah. Okay. So that's fine.
- 37:35Sean do you have anything to add to the NBA? I mean I think it's the Celtics
- 37:46all the way. I think it might be the Mab shot but ultimately I think they're going to come up short.
- 37:55That's fair. I can't root for a Boston team. I mean I just can't. They they've had it too good.
- 38:03Who can like realistically who can root for a Boston team but you know it's it's the way the
- 38:09world works. It's just the way it just the way it works. God likes them extra. They I mean
- 38:18they are a they are a they are a whole heartedly Catholic town. You've got to respect it like.
- 38:24It's true. Maybe prayer does work. I don't know but like they must be praying for something because
- 38:36they're getting an awful lot. They're also extremely racist. Maybe that is something.
- 38:44There's a lot of parallels here with Boston in the south.
- 38:48Interesting. Well Catholics are like real like they go to like mass they put in the work.
- 38:58Oh yeah. Some southern Christians they they don't go to church as much and you know there's
- 39:04a right with that. No. It's nothing at all. Yeah. Okay let's move on.
- 39:12Before we say something really dumb. Speaking of God his favorite sport football.
- 39:20That's right. So before we get into the wind totals let's go through the the the stretch
- 39:26in December. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Let's do real real quick. Yes. One of you do that.
- 39:34Do you have a show. I do. For those of you who don't know the college football playoffs are
- 39:44expanding to 12 teams this year and from December 19th through January 20th we have
- 39:53just about 30 full days of football in a row. It's insane and beautiful and it like this.
- 40:09I'm looking at this schedule right now just going week by week and it's just so beautiful.
- 40:15Like start out December 19th Thursday night football rounds at Bengals.
- 40:25The next night the first college football game round one. Then we've got the Saturday game
- 40:34with Texans and Chiefs and Ravens and Steelers and Ravens and the 22nd get 12 NFL games.
- 40:42The next day Saints at Packers Christmas Day. We've got Chiefs at Steelers and Ravens and
- 40:51Texans a Black Friday we got Seahawks. I'm not Black Friday. I'm sorry. That's after Thanksgiving.
- 40:59The 26th we got Seahawks at Bears.
- 41:01The 29th we have another slate of 12 NFL games. The 30th we've got Lions at 49ers. New
- 41:13Year's Eve we have the college football playoffs quarters and then we take a little break. We
- 41:21take a little break. We took about a four day break but we come back. We got yeah from New Year's
- 41:28Eve to January 5th. There's a little break there but January 5th comes back strong with 16 NFL games.
- 41:40Wow. All right. I guess I can I guess I can look at what I'm going to do. It's four days though.
- 41:45Yeah. I don't see the time with your family and just bring in the new year. I don't know. Come out
- 41:52the house and then the night through the 10th we also have the college football playoffs semifinals
- 42:02then the next day through the end of the weekend. That's wild card weekend
- 42:12and then fast forward another couple of days. We got the divisional round
- 42:16and then the national championship the day after. It's beautiful. Let's go. So
- 42:27so there's division around Natty and then Super Bowl a week two weeks later. Yep.
- 42:36God. We pretty much go wild card. Take a few days off. Divisional round.
- 42:43The next day is the national championship. I got I do kind of enjoy the like after the
- 42:59college football season and like where there's just NFL. I kind of really enjoy that because
- 43:05it's like OK I can breathe. You know it's not like I don't know but but also like at that point
- 43:15it's kind of just like you know one game a week or two games a week. So it's not a lot. You don't
- 43:20get your fits. Yeah. But when it's like you know the thick of the season and it's like week seven
- 43:29of the NFL and there's like a whole big ass slate of college football games the day before it's like
- 43:37this is hard. It is hard but it's the best. The semifinals of the college football playoffs
- 43:45is only four teams. That's only two games. Yeah. It'll thin out like yeah it'll thin out.
- 43:52It'll still thin out but I give what you're saying. Yeah. I wish there were more games.
- 44:02I guarantee you if if this if this slate was on this month you would not be complaining.
- 44:11Oh no. Oh no. You know what I mean. I'm not. I will never complain about this. No. This sounds
- 44:16honestly perfect. Those four days that we have to go without football day three I'm going to be
- 44:22pissed because like the fuck there should be football. I'm so excited. That's God. I saw that
- 44:40tweet today and I was like this is this is going to be the best.
- 44:45Yeah. So yeah those four days are going to be rough but I'll yeah those you need those four days
- 44:53to be like oh yeah I'll go to the whatever with you honey like I'll go to the grocery store.
- 45:00I'm just saying that but yeah we can go out to eat tonight. Yeah totally and then I've decided to
- 45:07skip football. That's going to be awesome. Like you know what but no football like I'm not paying
- 45:16attention to football. It's just you and me. I decided to skip Tuesday night football.
- 45:22And then there's going to be plenty of Tuesday night football on during the season. She'll be like
- 45:27yeah this is fantastic. This is the best. I'm it can't get here soon enough honestly.
- 45:34Right of course. Okay so that
- 45:39transitions us into the next topic. I have two win totals here that I can talk about.
- 45:48Chris how many do you have. I have three. Sean I have three as well. Okay should I go first since
- 45:56I have two. I was going to say do we want to go like one for each and go around the room or just
- 46:02say what we got like round a lot of ours back to back. I think we just
- 46:10I think we just go. I think we just go. Okay. Okay. I guess I'll go first. Go for it. So
- 46:20my my first win total is chargers under eight and a half plus 125. All right I'm going through the
- 46:31going through the schedule here. I'm counting six wins and two toss ups and the two toss ups are
- 46:40the Denver games because I do not know what Denver game what Denver team we're going to get
- 46:49but chances are that the chargers will be better than them and if they win those two toss ups
- 46:56that's eight. I only need less than eight and a half. To me this is free money it's plus 125
- 47:05chargers today actually released Corey Linsley they're all pro center who missed 14 games last year
- 47:13and last year without him they went five and 12 and so they're going to be without him again.
- 47:18And also not to mention they they signed Christian Fulton that guy stinks and they signed Gus Edwards
- 47:29and J.K. Dobbins and as we both know as we all know from from the history of watching football
- 47:36over the past three or four years both of them are going to get injured and so that's what I got.
- 47:44I have their the chargers wins. I have Carolina Arizona Atlanta Tampa Bay because I felt like
- 47:55being nice New Orleans and Las Vegas there. I have them splitting with Las Vegas.
- 48:03So yeah man that's what I got. That's that's that first one. What do you think about that?
- 48:10I like it. I like it a lot. The chargers were very mid last year and I don't I mean I feel
- 48:20like their offense has just gotten at least on paper significantly worse. Oh yeah definitely.
- 48:27Like who's their wide receiver one Quinton Johnson. That guy sucks.
- 48:32Either him or the guy they drafted in the second round.
- 48:35Oh yeah. Who was it? His name escapes me. I should have written down. So it's either
- 48:40Quinton Johnson or Ricky or I guess Joshua Palmer who gavals but he's no wide receiver one.
- 48:47I'll be honest. So yeah I like that especially a plus money. I like that.
- 48:52Under eight and a half. Okay. My other play is the Las Vegas Raiders over six and a half wins.
- 49:02Okay. This is this is kind of a vibes play but also kind of not a vibes play. Okay. I have them
- 49:11winning a game against the chargers Carolina Miami the Falcons the Jaguars and then I have
- 49:25three toss ups both Denver games and one of the New Orleans game because I can never get a read on
- 49:31the Saints. I can never get a read on their team. Honestly I try to stay away from the Saints
- 49:37pretty much every game that they're in unless it's prime time. They're just it just feels like
- 49:43they're weird man. Yeah. I've never been able to get like a good read on them. They won nine games
- 49:50last year. Mm hmm. Who would have thought? You're gonna. Yeah that's. I can't get a read on them.
- 49:58So yeah I have six wins and three toss ups. My X factors if you will. They have Antonio Pierce.
- 50:10They hired that dude. That guy's gonna make him run through a brick wall. They signed Gardner
- 50:16Menchu which I know we all hate him but I mean if we're being honest here he plays like four games
- 50:22a year that are like really fucking good. And then all the other games are kind of toss ups.
- 50:30Have a question. Yeah. Is Menchu the starter? Like was he brought in to be the starter? I was gonna
- 50:36ask that too. Like is it O'Connell again? Because O'Connell wasn't good but he was fine. Won some big
- 50:46games with not really because of him but won some big games with him. Let me look at the depth chart
- 50:53real quick. They're they're battling. I would be very surprised if they're starting. Okay. I would
- 50:58be surprised if Menchu wasn't the starter because I feel like right now O'Connell is. But O'Connell.
- 51:07Oh well right now. That could change. That could change right now. Just saying.
- 51:12Menchu will O'Connell will start a decent amount of games if Menchu is like the starter
- 51:20and vice versa. If O'Connell is the starter Menchu will start decent games.
- 51:27Other things. They drafted Brock Bowers. That guy's awesome. They signed Alexander Mattson.
- 51:34He's pretty okay. Michael Gallup and they signed Christian Wilkins the detackle from Miami
- 51:44because Miami I think Miami is gonna stink but also like all the teams in that division are gonna
- 51:51be ass except for maybe the Jets if Aaron Rodgers decides to I don't know not be ancient.
- 51:58But Miami got a brand new defense like they did. They got rid of all of the other guys on defense.
- 52:08They have a brand new defense. And so yeah that's my pick. Raiders over six and a half minus 120.
- 52:19I feel like it's pretty good. I feel like Antonio Pierce is like that's six wins right there.
- 52:25The Raiders down the stretch with Pierce. They were my team last year. Yeah. They were like just
- 52:33blind like not just blindly bad at most because they were they were coming like regardless.
- 52:40I mean they'd be the chiefs like handedly. I think that was on Christmas day being like two
- 52:46touchdowns I think. Oh yes. That was. So yeah Pierce is he's the dude. Yeah. So
- 52:53six and a half minus 120. It's pretty good man. All right Chris what do you got. Lay it on me.
- 53:00All right. Well we'll start out team. We also can't get a read on. I got a read on this here.
- 53:08Saints over seven and a half wins minus 120 is on draft Kings. I don't know what it's like on
- 53:15other books on draft Kings is minus 120. They have the easiest schedule in the league.
- 53:20I don't know how they factor that but they have the easiest schedule in the league.
- 53:25Part of that is they play in the worst division in football. It's pretty much them. The Falcons
- 53:32are everyone thinks the Falcons are going to be amazing this year. I'm not sold.
- 53:39Cousins. I mean we don't know how he's going to be. Their defense was not good last year
- 53:45and Raheem Morris. He's been a head coach before and he's been terrible. So I don't believe in
- 53:52the Falcons as much as everyone else. I think that would be good. I think they will probably win
- 53:56that division but that's not saying much. So let's say let's say they go four and two
- 54:03in the division play. I felt like that's fair to say. They're non-divisions. They have Denver.
- 54:10They go to the Chargers. The Chargers we don't know about them. They're weird.
- 54:18Cleveland late. I think they play Cleveland in November. So if DeSean Watson will probably
- 54:22not be playing at that point. They have the Rams at home. The Rams on the road are not good.
- 54:30The Giants, the commanders and the Raiders. No offense will. The Raiders are not going to be
- 54:38very good. They're going to win seven games but this isn't one. But this isn't one of them.
- 54:43I have this as a toss up. Yes. Oh you do. Perfect. I have it as a toss up.
- 54:48Let's see. So again. Because I can't get a read on the Saints. This is saying they go four and two
- 54:53in division play. They have to get four wins in between everything I said. I say Giants,
- 55:00commanders, Broncos. Those three I'll say are pretty much wins. And I have to get a win between
- 55:10Chargers, Browns, Rams and Raiders. I say that's eight wins right there.
- 55:20They got some pretty good offseason in terms of acquiring talent. They got Chase Young.
- 55:26I totally forgot about that. So that's how we get it. And then they drafted this
- 55:34tackle out of Oregon State. The Fuonga, I believe that's how you pronounce his last name.
- 55:40They sucked running the football last year without like Alvin Camara is
- 55:45extremely good at getting the ball out of the backfield. Not great. They weren't great at
- 55:49running the ball last year so I think that'll help. I think the Saints, I mean,
- 55:53they can fuck around and win that division honestly. I don't know. I don't have a price on that in
- 56:00front of me but I mean seven and a half wins. I feel like eight wins that could get you to win
- 56:07the NFC South honestly. So yeah, Saints over seven and a half. They weren't going to go with one.
- 56:13This one made me happy. Cowboys under 10 and a half. They have won 12 games last two, three years,
- 56:24at least two years. They're not doing that this year. They have gotten worse and have done nothing
- 56:30about it. Their big offensive get this year was Ezekiel Elliott.
- 56:38They haven't done anything in the offseason. They signed some okay guys on defense, which was their
- 56:47big problem last year. They got Eric Hendricks, I think from the Chargers. He's fine but he's like
- 56:5532, 33. They signed Jordan Lewis who's a corner. He's coming off a foot injury where he missed
- 57:01like six games last year. Who knows how he's going to be but they lost Dan Quinn too. So
- 57:10I mean that's their defense right there. Their division games, I mean let's face it,
- 57:16they're probably finding as commanders and giants. Eagles, I don't know. The Eagles are hard to get a
- 57:22read on but they have that first place schedule. So they're non-division games. They have Cleveland.
- 57:29I think they opened this season with Cleveland so that could be interesting.
- 57:34And they have New Orleans. We'll see Baltimore, at Pittsburgh, Detroit, San Francisco, at Atlanta,
- 57:42Houston, Cincinnati, and then Carolina and Tampa. But like at Pittsburgh, San Francisco,
- 57:49Houston, Cincinnati, that's pretty tough. So yeah, Cowboys under 10 and a half on us. I just,
- 58:00I don't think they're going to be very good. I feel like they lost a lot and did nothing to really
- 58:05improve their team. And then last one, will you like this? Dolphins under 9 and a half plus 1-15.
- 58:13If Aaron Rodgers is healthy, they are the third best team in this division. I have no faith in this
- 58:19team whatsoever. They like opposing defenses, they have film on them now. They know how to stop them.
- 58:25I mean, who even saw towards the end of the season last year, they could not be any team worth a
- 58:31shit. So, and also, is Tua going to stay healthy a full year, two years in a row?
- 58:37No, tough to say. No, he's not. I'm not rooting for injury, never will, but that's not going to happen.
- 58:48They added Jordan Poyer and Shaquille Barrett. Fine. Pass their prime, if we're being honest.
- 58:57They're good, but they're not what they used to be. I think they're both in their 30s.
- 59:01Their schedule is not the, I mean, let's see, their division, what do you think they'll go to
- 59:08division play, three and three? You think that's fair? I mean, everyone kind of sucks in that
- 59:13division, so I think that's fair. I mean, even like they struggled with the Patriots last season.
- 59:19Yeah. And the division games are weird. Yeah. So I think, let's say they go three and three,
- 59:25maybe four and two. Their non-division is Jacksonville at Seattle, Titans at Indy, Arizona,
- 59:32at the Rams, Vegas at Green Bay, at Houston, San Francisco, at Cleveland. Not like murderers row,
- 59:41like the Cowboys, but that's not easy. Like even Jacksonville, that's not a gimmie.
- 59:48Like us come to town. I think that's Monday Night Football. And we saw last year,
- 59:52we can fuck around and win. And like, that's not like the Dolphins have some enormous home field
- 59:58advantage. Like they don't. They never, like that place sucks. So I just, I struggle to find 10 wins
- 1:00:10in this schedule. And with two, I don't think two is going to stay healthy. And yeah, so I'm taking
- 1:00:18under nine and a half at plus money. Give me that all day. So yeah, that's my third shit down.
- 1:00:24Yes. Oh yeah. When you said the dolphins will be asked, I was like, let's go.
- 1:00:31So yeah, Saints over seven and a half Cowboys under 10 and a half. Dolphins under nine and a half.
- 1:00:37John, I was on my turn. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:00:49Um, well, I want to, whoa. Sorry. Did y'all hear that? Some music started like playing through my
- 1:01:01headphones. No, I didn't hear that. Okay. Okay. Um, first off,
- 1:01:12I think you'll like this, Chris. And I think you'll like this too, Will. But, um,
- 1:01:18I think the Falcons are looking at potentially like one of their best seasons in a decade. Right.
- 1:01:29Um, yeah, the Kirk cousins has like, you know, brought some stability to the quarterback position.
- 1:01:37Um, I think they've got a, they've got a pretty good offense. Um, I think they honestly have
- 1:01:44an underrated defense and they have a pretty darn easy schedule. But expecting them to win
- 1:01:55three more games than they did last year, I don't really think so. And after wasting their
- 1:02:03first round pick on Michael Pinnick's junior, that didn't really fix anything. They didn't fix
- 1:02:11any other weak spots. Um, I think they'll definitely be better than last year, but
- 1:02:15finishing around 500 seems likely, but definitely not. They're definitely not winning 10 games.
- 1:02:29Falcons under nine and a half plus one 15.
- 1:02:34Like it. Like it. All right. They're schedule is easy, but like, let's be real, like
- 1:02:42first three games of the season, Steelers, Eagles, Chiefs, like that's just a recipe for disaster.
- 1:02:49Just coming. Is it Pittsburgh? No, it's, it's in, it's in Atlanta. Okay. That makes it winable then.
- 1:02:58It does, but um, I mean, if they go 013, that wouldn't shock me at all. Yeah. Um, I wanted to
- 1:03:07mention this because I wanted to, because when I was texting all about this, the reason like I
- 1:03:13brought this up is I saw the Steelers win total yesterday was at seven and a half. And that means
- 1:03:21that Mike Tomlin, they will not have a winning season. But yeah, but I checked today. I think
- 1:03:31I think everybody got wise and saw that because they upped it to eight and a half at like plus one
- 1:03:4060 something, which is ridiculous. But yeah, I saw it on. Oh yeah. Undraft, undrafting.
- 1:03:51Over a half plus 140. Yeah. So I was, that was going to be like my main focal point
- 1:03:57for this, which is like why I wanted to talk about it. But now I can't really give it out because I
- 1:04:04didn't take it. They still have to win nine games to finish above 500 though. I guess you, you can't
- 1:04:12go 500 anymore. So you would have to. That's true. True. So I liked seven and a half a lot more though.
- 1:04:21Oh yeah, that would be easy. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I might, I might sprinkle that. We'll see.
- 1:04:29So the next, the next team I want to talk about is the 49ers. They have an incredibly deep offense
- 1:04:38and just they, they're one of the few teams that haven't, that hasn't lost any star players. They
- 1:04:44just re-signed McCaffrey to a two year deal. Despite all, you know, all these trade rumors,
- 1:04:51it's like I ook, like Devo Samuel, like he might be moving, there might be moving on.
- 1:04:59Hitting 11 and a half on a game total for this team is almost free money. This is like one of
- 1:05:09the best teams in the league. Christian McCaffrey is the best running back in the league and the 49ers
- 1:05:15are stacked on both sides of the ball stacked. I'm going over 11 and a half here plus 105 on
- 1:05:25draft kings. They're the only team who's favored in every single game this season. So yeah, I mean,
- 1:05:33you're giving me, you're basically giving me six free games. That's what I'm hearing. Like
- 1:05:43barring in, knock on wood, barring injury. Yes. Bar, barring energy. I like that. I like, yeah.
- 1:05:52I mean, plus, plus money on the league's best team.
- 1:05:56You got to take it. You take it. That's pretty good. You got to take it. And then finally,
- 1:06:06we come to the absolute dumpster fire that is the Carolina Panthers.
- 1:06:12They had a rough season last year. They did finishing dead last and they traded their
- 1:06:21first overall pick away. Dan, unlike really any other teams that tank, I guess, there's no hope.
- 1:06:34There's no hope for the Carolina Panthers. Not right now. Definitely not. It's not even on the
- 1:06:40horizon. It's not even in the distance. There's just no hope. Do they have, they have a first
- 1:06:47run pick like next year, correct? Like this upcoming draft? Yeah, I think so. I think so.
- 1:06:54Honestly, if they want to open, they have to take it again. Yeah. But
- 1:07:01you can't be putting Bryce through all this, even though he's terrible. Like you can't be doing that
- 1:07:06to him. But yeah, they have no, they have no offensive line. The offensive line they have
- 1:07:12is a absolute mess. Bryce Young is just, he's, man, he's just having a tough time.
- 1:07:22He's just, yeah, give me the thoughts and prayers. They had the second lowest win total
- 1:07:28in the league this season. And it should probably honestly be lower than five and a half. But I'm
- 1:07:35going to take the Panthers under five and a half at minus 105. I mean, I like that honestly.
- 1:07:44Sprites is only minus 105. Who has the lowest? I don't, if they have the second lowest.
- 1:07:53I can't remember. Bronco Broncos also have five and a half.
- 1:07:56I can't remember. I'm looking at it right now. The Patriots? Patriots are four and a half.
- 1:08:08And over four and a half is minus 160. Yeah. The Patriots are going to just, hey, yeah,
- 1:08:16they're going to stink, dude. Yeah. That's going to be terrible. Yeah, I hate to say it. It's a shame.
- 1:08:23Yeah, I hate to say it. It's a shame. Okay. Well, that's, I think that's it. I think that's all we
- 1:08:31got for this week. Would you say so? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I just wanted to say this was my,
- 1:08:41the first time I was like, I really miss football. Yeah. Like I was, I was bored the other night.
- 1:08:49And I was like, flipping through YouTube videos and I saw biggest upset wins of the 2023-24
- 1:08:58college football season. And it was like 30 minutes and I watched that and I was like,
- 1:09:02God, I miss football. I have to say when I was doing research for this,
- 1:09:10it was kind of like, it took my brain a second to sort of switch, switch back into football mode.
- 1:09:16It might be time soon to restart the league. It felt, yeah. That might be like another month.
- 1:09:23That might be like another month. Yeah, you got to like finish it right before football season starts.
- 1:09:29Yeah. But yeah, no, we had doing research for this. It felt right. It felt, it felt good. I hate looking
- 1:09:38every year or every day now at like ERA and expected ERA and like all this other random
- 1:09:45bullshit. I hate it so much. And you know, that's why, that's why we're giving you the audience
- 1:09:54these 13 weeks of picks. We have 13 weeks until week one. We can make it. So let's just take it
- 1:10:02one week at a time. We just give a pick a week. I like it. But that's, I mean, what else? Pick a week.
- 1:10:07I don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, baby. Kaboom. I can't wait.
- 1:10:1913 weeks. Three for the money is a couple of the people. It's a cup of coffee. Come on. I mean,
- 1:10:25if you take out like, I mean, you're asleep and then you're asleep. Meals. Yep. And then Sunday's
- 1:10:32just fly by. I mean, it's like two weeks, really. Yeah, it's it's nothing. It's a cup of coffee.
- 1:10:39It's like a cup of coffee. It'll go by like that. Exactly.
