Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Natee daily wager. I ain't picking winners but I am
- 0:10making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20January 18th, 2025. And well, I know I don't know
- 0:25nothing about no hockey and it showed again last night.
- 0:29The had the under it went over, they got to seven goals.
- 0:33Anyway, I was in trouble early because there was a lot of
- 0:35scoring and I was just holding hoping that I'd hold on and
- 0:39wouldn't get over. But it did.
- 0:41So anyways, my losing just continues and you know, to be
- 0:47honest, I think it's you know, somewhat semi impressive to have
- 0:51the record I have because if it was flipped the other way, man,
- 0:54that would be like amazing. You know, to go 15 and two, or
- 1:00maybe it's 14 and three. That'd be a crazy.
- 1:02But you know, unfortunately it's 3 and 14.
- 1:05So I mean, that's still just as hard.
- 1:08It just sucks a whole lot more. But anyways, today we got the
- 1:13football, we got the divisional rounds, we got two games.
- 1:18I like the early game because look, we all know, we all know
- 1:22there ain't no way the Chiefs are going to lose.
- 1:24There's no way the NFL is going to let Taylor and her boyfriend
- 1:28not make it to the next round. Probably they're not going to
- 1:30let her not make it to the Super Bowl.
- 1:33All right, so we can put that to bed.
- 1:35We know Chiefs are going to win, but can the Texans keep it
- 1:39close? I think so.
- 1:41Here's why. Because the Chiefs have just
- 1:43been getting lucky all year. They've just been scraping by.
- 1:47Their record against the spread is terrible, just awful.
- 1:51And it's always because they're getting saved by some random,
- 1:54you know, yellow flag that gets thrown so that they get another
- 1:57chance. And they should have been beat
- 2:00several times, but they get, again, saved by the flag.
- 2:03So I think as long as the Texans show up, I think they can get
- 2:07there and a half is a lot to cover and I think they can keep
- 2:11it close. They're going to lose, we all
- 2:13know that, but I think they can keep it within a touchdown. 8
- 2:161/2 is more than a touchdown, so I think we're good.
- 2:20So we're going to take Houston Texans plus 8 1/2 against the
- 2:24Chiefs. Even though it's Taylor Swift,
- 2:27her boyfriend Patty Mahomes, we're just taking the cover.
- 2:31We're not betting the line. We're not even going to sprinkle
- 2:33any. We know we're not going to do
- 2:34that. So we're just going to take the
- 2:368 1/2 points against the Chiefs in today's NFL football action.
- 2:42See anything better than that? Pound it.
- 2:43That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
- 2:45And I, I think Cousin Vinny's got a little surprise for you,
- 2:49Cousin. Give him what you got.
- 2:51Your old cousin Vinny's divisional around Saturday.
- 2:53We got two games today, got the Commanders playing late against
- 3:00the Detroit Lions. Lions will be biting some
- 3:03kneecaps, and we got their early game with Patty Mahomes and the
- 3:08upstart Houston Texans coming in.
- 3:10But really, the game we love here and then I mean cosmet
- 3:13loves. This game is a Washing Command
- 3:15Commanders Detroit game. The Commanders are a frisky
- 3:19team. And when I saw this line at 9
- 3:211/2 points, man, I was like, way too many points.
- 3:25Cousin Vinny had to handicap this.
- 3:26He would handicap it at 6 1/2 at most.
- 3:30That's three points off Cousin Vinny's handicap.
- 3:34So we're going to pound and I mean pound.
- 3:36The Commanders put our faith in Jaden Daniels, the the phenom,
- 3:41the rookie phenom coming in. He's going to give the Lions a
- 3:44scare today. He's going to put points in the
- 3:46boards. I just find a good, good team.
- 3:48I think they're going to win, but I think it's going to be a
- 3:50close game. 9 1/2 points, just way too many points for a
- 3:53divisional round playoff game. And hey, don't even be surprised
- 3:56if you see the upset alert here. So because of many pounding the
- 4:009 1/2 going to the Skins correction the commanders today
- 4:05and so until next week or till tomorrow Cousin Vinny, with your
- 4:10luck of the week. Don't forget to rate, review,
