0:21
Speaker 1: myriad of creative ways to keep this party rowan. I

Speaker 1: am Chad Melman from the Action Network, joining me on
0:32
Speaker 1: the other side of two thousand nineteen, Mr black Jack Flager,
0:38
Speaker 1: How you doing, Buddy well? Vacations over? How was New
0:43
Speaker 1: Year's up on the hill in Greenwich? I had some
0:47
Speaker 1: interesting experiences the past couple of weeks. Well, my kids
0:51
Speaker 1: are older, you know, my kids are fifteen and twelve,
0:53
Speaker 1: and we went we went away with them, and we
0:55
Speaker 1: went away with my sister and her kids. And her
0:57
Speaker 1: kids are and her husband. She has nine, you know,
1:00
Speaker 1: twins in a six year old. Do you like her husband? Oh? Yeah,
1:03
Speaker 1: they're great. I love them both, just desperately. I wish
1:06
Speaker 1: we lived much closer to them. Um, and our kids
1:08
Speaker 1: are fantastic, but we've reached the age with our children
1:11
Speaker 1: where they just don't want to be with us at all.
1:16
Speaker 1: And my wife and I were commenting, how like and
1:20
Speaker 1: we were growing up sometimes when we were with our
1:22
Speaker 1: families and the other parents, or like our parents would
1:27
Speaker 1: bring a friend, like invite a friend to come on vacation,
1:30
Speaker 1: and we always thought they were just doing it to
1:31
Speaker 1: be nice. We realized that, like, we were probably miserable
1:34
Speaker 1: unless we had the friend, because our kids spent the
1:37
Speaker 1: entire time like texting with their friends, trying to be
1:40
Speaker 1: with their friends. And then we get home and our
1:43
Speaker 1: younger son just disappeared for twenty four hours on New
1:47
Speaker 1: Year's like went to a Buddies for New Year's decided
1:49
Speaker 1: to sleep over. The next day, it's like five in
1:53
Speaker 1: the afternoon, and my wife and I are like, where's
1:55
Speaker 1: that one? Like, doesn't sound like the best parenting in
1:57
Speaker 1: the world. I wasn't wasn't in any way, shape or
2:01
Speaker 1: form trying to uh to uh to lobby for Parents
2:07
Speaker 1: of the Year. How are the Greenberg's on New Year's Eve? Beautiful? Yeah?
2:11
Speaker 1: What I decided was when I got home. When I
2:14
Speaker 1: got home, I said to Stacy two thousand nineteen, We're
2:19
Speaker 1: gonna try kindness in this house. She goes, yeah, we
2:22
Speaker 1: might have gone too far into the sarcasm. All right,
2:26
Speaker 1: have you ever seen the movie The Campaign with Will
2:28
Speaker 1: Ferrell Zach Alfanakis. No, alright, then this really won't land
2:32
Speaker 1: too much. I might have to get a video with
2:35
Speaker 1: one of your kids calling me dad. Um, well, they
2:40
Speaker 1: might appreciate it maybe, But you know, we can work
2:43
Speaker 1: on our relationship for now. We can. We totally can
2:46
Speaker 1: so listen even though um the Super Concerts is over.
2:50
Speaker 1: We had so much fun doing this podcast. We're going
2:52
Speaker 1: to carry on the conceit and we're going to continue listen.
2:56
Speaker 1: I know what. I love you. I love you too happy.
3:04
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know you didn't have
3:05
Speaker 1: to yell at me. So the regular season ended, I'm
3:10
Speaker 1: gonna get to what we're gonna do. The regular season ended.
3:12
Speaker 1: We had a nice little run there and then we
3:14
Speaker 1: sort of fell off a cliff. So our regular season
3:18
Speaker 1: record the we ended in the Super Contest four mm hmm,
3:26
Speaker 1: it's yep. We were two thousand and seventy second out
3:31
Speaker 1: of two hundred people. Poor showing on our part. Um, definitely,
3:41
Speaker 1: definitely a bad showing on our part. But silver lining,
3:45
Speaker 1: I had a great week seventeen when eleven and one,
3:47
Speaker 1: so great week for me personally. And also p s
3:51
Speaker 1: A to all of you listeners out there who maybe
3:54
Speaker 1: want to get involved with gambling, but maybe people are
3:56
Speaker 1: telling you gambling is a problem. Don't do it. It's
3:58
Speaker 1: an addiction. Don't him all and stuff like that. Let
4:01
Speaker 1: me let Uncle Blackjack tell you gambling works. Black Jack
4:07
Speaker 1: goes eleven and one this week. We don't do a
4:09
Speaker 1: favorites last week. So Saturday, black Jack's going into the doctor.
4:13
Speaker 1: Turns out he's got pneumonia. Walking around with pneumonia for weeks.
4:19
Speaker 1: Has black Jack ever heard this story about Chad? He
4:21
Speaker 1: broke his back? Heard it? Not impressed by it? Anyway,
4:25
Speaker 1: black Jack's walking into a doctor's office, he gets a
4:27
Speaker 1: d M on his phone from a lovely young lady
4:30
Speaker 1: wanting picks for the week. So he's a listener of
4:33
Speaker 1: the podcast, very astute listener because she knows Chad stinks
4:38
Speaker 1: um and came to me for picks, And of course
4:40
Speaker 1: I gave them because I'm a man. People, did she Chad? Yeah,
4:46
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. We know what's in those d
4:49
Speaker 1: m um, So I give five picks. It turns out
4:53
Speaker 1: the picks go five and oh, five and oh, because
4:55
Speaker 1: that's that's how I am. So I hear back from
4:58
Speaker 1: this this young lady afterwards, and listen, Let's just say
5:02
Speaker 1: that gambling gets the job done. In more ways than one.
5:05
Speaker 1: If you know what I'm talking about, can you explain?
5:08
Speaker 1: Ask your wife? You listen, asshole, It's the year of Kindness.

5:17
Speaker 1: at me. Also, you started that sentence with asshole. Can

9:58
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazed. Ball balls, alright, God damn it,
10:03
Speaker 1: that's why they hate me. Here is what we're gonna
10:05
Speaker 1: do this season. All right, super contents over right, But
10:07
Speaker 1: we're still gonna make five picks. You and I have
10:10
Speaker 1: to agree on five picks every single week, and then
10:13
Speaker 1: we are going to bet those games in order of confidence.
10:17
Speaker 1: We will put real money down on these games. Most confident,
10:20
Speaker 1: we will put the most money down. Least confident will
10:22
Speaker 1: put the least money down. Because we happen to have
10:24
Speaker 1: the championship game for college football plus the wild card
10:27
Speaker 1: this weekend, those are gonna be the games that we choose.
10:30
Speaker 1: From here we go India Houston. Houston is a one
10:34
Speaker 1: point favorite. This line is moving the totals seven and
10:36
Speaker 1: a half. Indianapolis is a plus one o four on
10:40
Speaker 1: the money line. I got a very strong opinion on
10:42
Speaker 1: this game. I have an opinion on it as well.
10:45
Speaker 1: I like the over. I had not considered that. I
10:49
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see points here with these teams. The
10:52
Speaker 1: Colts have shown they can they can throw the ball
10:54
Speaker 1: really well and they can put points up the Texans
10:57
Speaker 1: while we give them credit for a good defense, and
10:58
Speaker 1: they absolutely have a good defense. They in the league
11:01
Speaker 1: against the past. So the Colts don't run the ball
11:04
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot, They're gonna throw it. I
11:06
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see points scored forty seven and a
11:08
Speaker 1: half en now for a playoff game. I like the
11:14
Speaker 1: total more than I like either side. Can I interest
11:16
Speaker 1: you in a side? Tell me why you like Houston.
11:20
Speaker 1: I like Houston. Uh number one. If you look at
11:24
Speaker 1: Action network dot com, the when we do our power ratings,
11:28
Speaker 1: the biggest delta meaning differential between the current spread and
11:32
Speaker 1: our power rating is in this game. This game should
11:36
Speaker 1: be lined as Houston three and a half. It is
11:39
Speaker 1: now one. That is a two and a half point difference.
11:41
Speaker 1: I already liked Houston in this game. I think their
11:44
Speaker 1: defensive line is good enough to give pressure without blitzing
11:48
Speaker 1: um against that Colts offensive line is amazing. I also
11:55
Speaker 1: like them at home. I like Deshaun Watson. I like
11:59
Speaker 1: DeAndre hop who did not drop a pass all year year.
12:04
Speaker 1: Also on Action network dot Com, Ian HARTSI did an
12:07
Speaker 1: amazing breakdown of every single matchup in the wild Card
12:10
Speaker 1: and had that note in there. Um. I feel like
12:14
Speaker 1: I'm getting the better team and going against the public
12:17
Speaker 1: because everyone is all in on whatever. People are on
12:20
Speaker 1: the cults of one nine out of ten. But you know,
12:22
Speaker 1: Houston's won. I mean what, They've dropped two out of
12:25
Speaker 1: their last twelve. I mean, yeah, you could talk me
12:29
Speaker 1: into that, So let's do it. Let's do it. I
12:31
Speaker 1: would go with Houston. I was available to be swayed
12:34
Speaker 1: on this game, and you've done it. Houston's not the
12:37
Speaker 1: only thing you're gonna do before. Oh he's gonna get
12:39
Speaker 1: some mileage out of this. But I'm gonna be nice
12:41
Speaker 1: about it. And this is I'm rooting for you. Thank you.
12:44
Speaker 1: I'm on your side, thank you. This would be nice.
12:46
Speaker 1: It's you know how I'd be nice. Okay, what's next?
12:50
Speaker 1: Seattle at Dallas. Dallas is a one point favorite. Total
12:55
Speaker 1: was forty four Seattle's minus one oh five on the money.
12:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm gonna say it. I I have
13:00
Speaker 1: been slowly coming to this point. I've been percolating, and
13:04
Speaker 1: I'm now at full brew. I like the Cowboys. You're
13:07
Speaker 1: not the only one. I like the Cowboys the Seahawks.
13:10
Speaker 1: If you would have asked me a month ago, because
13:12
Speaker 1: we've known this matchup was gonna be it for like
13:14
Speaker 1: three weeks, I would have been all over the Seahawks.
13:17
Speaker 1: But I'm on the Cowboys here, man. I think the
13:21
Speaker 1: Cowboys are one of those teams that we've been We've
13:24
Speaker 1: been putting on the back burner for a long time.
13:26
Speaker 1: The defense is really good, the running game is very strong,
13:31
Speaker 1: and listen, I understand that the Seahawks are statistically the
13:34
Speaker 1: best rushing offense in the NFL. But in one game
13:37
Speaker 1: on the road, are we talking about the running backs
13:40
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks have or are we talking about Ezekiel Elliott,
13:44
Speaker 1: who's now, you know, off a week's rest. I like
13:47
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in this spot. I just do Dallas. I
13:55
Speaker 1: feel like this season one of the things I've been
13:57
Speaker 1: doing wrong is I will have an immediate bias in
14:02
Speaker 1: a game and I will be on that team from
14:07
Speaker 1: the beginning, and then come Sunday, when I've sort of
14:10
Speaker 1: had more of a chance to do a lot more
14:11
Speaker 1: research and think about things, I'll make some more bets.
14:15
Speaker 1: And I'd have to look it up, but I fairly
14:18
Speaker 1: certainly work out I'm better percentage wise on the bets
14:20
Speaker 1: I make Sunday morning than the ones. I think you
14:22
Speaker 1: definitely are. And my first instinct in this game was Seattle,
14:28
Speaker 1: and I have been hearing more and more You've said it, Stucky.
14:31
Speaker 1: Another Action Network genius said it. You know, I called
14:34
Speaker 1: it him another genius, which would imply that thanks, I
14:37
Speaker 1: was talking about you as well. Um. I think Dallas
14:41
Speaker 1: might be the right side too. I think they are.
14:43
Speaker 1: They're at home the offense. Listen for whatever we want
14:46
Speaker 1: to say about Jerry Jones trading a one to get
14:48
Speaker 1: a Mari Cooper. It's changed the offense. It has changed
14:52
Speaker 1: their offense hasn't played this well. It's made Dac better.
14:55
Speaker 1: It's made everything better. And that defense is those linebackers,
14:59
Speaker 1: man like, if they can stay healthy, Jalen Smith and
15:03
Speaker 1: Leeton Vanderish over the next decade, I mean, those two
15:05
Speaker 1: are gonna be the best in football. It's unreal, how
15:08
Speaker 1: fair they are? I like the Cowboys here, all right,
15:12
Speaker 1: Well here's an interesting deliver. Do we like the Cowboys
15:17
Speaker 1: more than we like Houston? Is that our highest confidence
15:22
Speaker 1: pick right now? I would say have more confidence in Dallas? Yeah,
15:26
Speaker 1: I would, I would, And I can't believe I'm saying
15:30
Speaker 1: that because Russell Wilson scares me and Jason Garrett scares
15:32
Speaker 1: me probably more. But Dallas has played really good football.
15:37
Speaker 1: It's been hella hard to quit Russell Wilson in two
15:40
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen. Is that? Is that why you think my
15:44
Speaker 1: kids still talk to me? You're probably trying too hard.
15:47
Speaker 1: Just be you. That is me. No, that's that's not
15:50
Speaker 1: that's not anybody. Um. We can figure the confidence out later.
15:54
Speaker 1: Let's let's keep it rolling. Let's go to the next one.
15:56
Speaker 1: What else we got. You're so demand like, you're so
16:01
Speaker 1: trying to keep this trains here. Somebody has to l
16:05
Speaker 1: a Chargers at the Baltimore Ravens Los Angeles Jadges. Don't
16:11
Speaker 1: do that. Don't do that. Baltimore Ravens Baltimore minus two
16:15
Speaker 1: and a half. The totals forty one. The Chargers are
16:16
Speaker 1: plus one twenty on the money line. If we were
16:20
Speaker 1: in the Super Contest right now, you know what I
16:22
Speaker 1: would say, pass? Oh god, yeah, yeah, I mean probably.
16:29
Speaker 1: But I actually I like the Chargers here on the
16:31
Speaker 1: money line, and I'm gonna go one more. I also
16:34
Speaker 1: like the over this This total is stupid, stupidly low, stupid, totally.
16:39
Speaker 1: You can convince me on the over Listen. These two
16:42
Speaker 1: teams played two weeks ago. Okay, it was twenty two
16:45
Speaker 1: to ten, but look at the game the Chargers played.
16:48
Speaker 1: It was the worst game the Charges played all season. Okay,
16:50
Speaker 1: River Stars a pick on the first possession of the game.
16:53
Speaker 1: Then they have the fumble by Gates when they're driving
16:57
Speaker 1: to score late in the game. That's two possessions that
16:59
Speaker 1: ease he could have been points, putting them over this
17:02
Speaker 1: total and giving the Chargers a win. Second of all,
17:05
Speaker 1: the Charges have now seen this Ravens offense for the
17:08
Speaker 1: second time in two weeks. That's an advantage to them.
17:12
Speaker 1: It's fresh in their minds. They've gotten to see it.
17:14
Speaker 1: They know what the Ravens are gonna try to do.
17:16
Speaker 1: Rivers has played really really well on the road this year.
17:19
Speaker 1: There's seven and one on the road. This team played
17:21
Speaker 1: great on the road. I don't think they're going into
17:23
Speaker 1: this building and losing twice in two weeks. And I
17:26
Speaker 1: sure as hell am not looking at under a total
17:29
Speaker 1: of forty one in the NFL this year. No way,
17:33
Speaker 1: you just convinced me of the over awesome. That's three
17:39
Speaker 1: three right now, we got I like it. Philadelphia Eagles
17:45
Speaker 1: at the Chicago Bears, My Chicago Bears. No, I guess
17:48
Speaker 1: I know where you're going on that one. Bears are
17:51
Speaker 1: six point favorites first game. I bet five and a
17:54
Speaker 1: half first game. I bet this total is forty one.
17:57
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is basically plus two hundred of the any lie,
18:01
Speaker 1: if it's the first game you bet. Here's what I
18:03
Speaker 1: think you're going. I think you bet the Bears minus
18:06
Speaker 1: five and a half. Nope, the other side, I think
18:09
Speaker 1: you bet the Eagles plus five and a half. You
18:13
Speaker 1: got it. I'm surprised that you did that. Here's why
18:16
Speaker 1: I'm not Here's why I'm not surprised. Well, you're not
18:18
Speaker 1: surprised because you did it. That's right, and I'll tell
18:20
Speaker 1: you why. But I'm not saying that in a mean
18:22
Speaker 1: I got you. The Bears have played unbelievably well, and
18:27
Speaker 1: I like that they're at home. The defense has been great,
18:30
Speaker 1: the running game has been great, but we still don't
18:34
Speaker 1: know how much they trust their quarterback. And it hasn't
18:37
Speaker 1: been an issue for them because they've jumped on teams.
18:40
Speaker 1: This Philly team has overcome a lot to get here.
18:42
Speaker 1: This team is dead in the water five weeks ago,
18:45
Speaker 1: dead four and six. None of us thought they were
18:48
Speaker 1: coming back to make the playoffs. All of a sudden,
18:51
Speaker 1: Nick Foles comes in lights the world on fire again
18:54
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. It's a veteran group, it's a well
18:57
Speaker 1: coached group, and it's a confident group. Icago may well
19:00
Speaker 1: win this game, but this is too many points. I
19:03
Speaker 1: think the Eagles keep this close. I don't think the
19:06
Speaker 1: Bears are running away with a playoff game in their
19:08
Speaker 1: first playoff game. For most of these guys, including their
19:11
Speaker 1: head coach, couldn't disagree more. Okay, why number one defense
19:20
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Forget about that for a second, because
19:23
Speaker 1: the Vikings were number one last year and that didn't
19:25
Speaker 1: work out. Number two, Nick Foles is playing, but he's
19:32
Speaker 1: not Nick Foles. He's playing real well. He's hurt, he's
19:36
Speaker 1: got bruised ribs. Have you ever done anything with bruise
19:38
Speaker 1: ribs every day. Number three. Uh, the Eagles secondary not good,
19:49
Speaker 1: not good at all. No, it's not. But the Eagles
19:52
Speaker 1: front four very good. Going to be tougher for the
19:55
Speaker 1: Bears to run on. The Bears offense is so dynamic.
20:00
Speaker 1: It's dynamic because of Tarik Cohen and Jordan Howard. Well,
20:04
Speaker 1: what what that's like saying the the clouds are in
20:08
Speaker 1: the sky, because that's it's not the same because they're
20:12
Speaker 1: they're dynamic. Playmaking abilities are based off of the ability
20:17
Speaker 1: to run and that I think they're going to have
20:19
Speaker 1: a tougher time against that Eagles front four. I disagree.
20:22
Speaker 1: Their run game was ship this year. Believe me. Jordan
20:25
Speaker 1: Howard had eight hundred and fifty yards rushing. He averaged
20:28
Speaker 1: three point six yards per rush. He was down across
20:32
Speaker 1: the board from So you're telling the offensive dynamic of
20:34
Speaker 1: Drabinsky finish. Their offensive dynamic because of the play calling
20:41
Speaker 1: and because of the scheme and the way they line
20:43
Speaker 1: up and the way they used to recon in a
20:46
Speaker 1: variety of ways. That's what makes them dynamic. Oh, I've
20:51
Speaker 1: missed you. We're not going to agree on this game.
20:55
Speaker 1: What do you think about the total? I still think
20:56
Speaker 1: this total is low. It's playoff time, baby. Point Again,
21:02
Speaker 1: the Bears are not a team that's scoring, and I
21:04
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of faith that the Eagles are
21:07
Speaker 1: gonna be able to put up big numbers against that
21:09
Speaker 1: Bears defense. I just don't like it. All right, Well,
21:11
Speaker 1: let's go to the National Championship game, Clemson versus all Obama.
21:16
Speaker 1: All right, I have a theory on this game. Tell
21:17
Speaker 1: me what you think about this. Whatever side do you
21:20
Speaker 1: want to take here? I think you take the money line.
21:23
Speaker 1: I don't like the spread. I don't like the number.
21:25
Speaker 1: If you think Clemson is going to keep this within six,
21:28
Speaker 1: fuck it. Let's go with them to win the thing
21:30
Speaker 1: at plus two hundred. And if you like Alabama we
21:33
Speaker 1: saw last year, you can get burned with the points
21:35
Speaker 1: because sometimes the teams keep it close with him. I
21:38
Speaker 1: think you lay the juice. I think the money line
21:40
Speaker 1: is the way to go here. And honestly, you could
21:42
Speaker 1: talk me into either side. So the total the money
21:44
Speaker 1: line right now is Clemson plus total is fifty nine
21:50
Speaker 1: and a half. I would lean under in Clemson. You
21:57
Speaker 1: know what my son would say right now? Yeah, just
22:02
Speaker 1: to be mean to me, but I'm not going to
22:04
Speaker 1: do that. You wouldn't do that. It's the year of
22:07
Speaker 1: cons That's right, thanks Dad. Uh Clemson money line. I
22:14
Speaker 1: can live with that. Boom. Listen. I like what Clemson's
22:19
Speaker 1: got going. I mean, Alabama has been pushed a couple
22:22
Speaker 1: of times this year. They've been tested. Clemson hasn't. I
22:25
Speaker 1: mean other than the Syracuse game when Trevor Lawrence was
22:28
Speaker 1: out for the first you know, for the second half
22:30
Speaker 1: of the game, Clemson has just rolled. I mean that
22:34
Speaker 1: team is so good on all sides of the ball.
22:39
Speaker 1: And and Alabama. Listen, what is there to say negatively
22:42
Speaker 1: about Alabama? But we did see you know too, I
22:45
Speaker 1: have a rough game against Georgia. I would lean Clemson
22:50
Speaker 1: and it plus one six, Like, how do you how
22:52
Speaker 1: do you not take a shot at that? All right, well,
22:55
Speaker 1: we gotta rank these right now, uh, because we got
22:58
Speaker 1: to figure out, like, OA, not only four bets you
23:03
Speaker 1: wanted five. I thought we did the two that we didn't.
23:10
Speaker 1: We didn't take anything on the Bears Eagles, So we
23:14
Speaker 1: have four. I thought we did one where we didn't
23:17
Speaker 1: over and aside, no, you you didn't want to do that.
23:21
Speaker 1: If you want to take the Chargers in the over.
23:23
Speaker 1: I'm good. So right now, we've taken Houston at minus one,
23:29
Speaker 1: We've taken Dallas at minus one, We've taken the Chargers
23:34
Speaker 1: in the over. We've taken Chicago, we passed in Chicago
23:41
Speaker 1: and Philly. We took Clemps into the money line. Hey,
23:43
Speaker 1: you want you want to get crazy and take the
23:44
Speaker 1: Chargers money line? No, now you want those two and
23:47
Speaker 1: a half. I'm not convincing the Chargers, But what what
23:52
Speaker 1: final score do you see where you wear? Those two
23:54
Speaker 1: and a half are helping you? I can't really think
23:57
Speaker 1: of one. I don't what any gonna do with that game,
24:05
Speaker 1: but you just told me it was one of the
24:06
Speaker 1: ones we're taking taking the over. Okay, so then we
24:10
Speaker 1: only have four? All right? Is that what you feel
24:13
Speaker 1: best about? Like everything we've discussed that is that is available.
24:17
Speaker 1: We have the over, the total in Indie Houston at
24:22
Speaker 1: forty seven and a half. We have the total in Seattle,
24:25
Speaker 1: Dallas at forty four that the side or the money line,
24:29
Speaker 1: and Chargers Baltimore. We have the total Embarrassed Eagles at
24:32
Speaker 1: forty one. I will give the fifth pick to you
24:35
Speaker 1: will be our lowest confidence pick over Texans Colts over
24:40
Speaker 1: te Wow over Texans Colts forty seven and a half.
24:43
Speaker 1: All right, so that's where we're landing. That is, we're
24:45
Speaker 1: ranking them one to five. One most confident, five, least confident.
24:49
Speaker 1: Our least confident pick right now is the over in
24:52
Speaker 1: Texans Texans Indianapolis forty seven and a half. That leaves
24:58
Speaker 1: are most confident. I would do our next least confident
25:01
Speaker 1: pick Clemson Clemson plus six. That's four. We're on the
25:04
Speaker 1: money line. Three three is gonna be the total, and
25:11
Speaker 1: Chargers Baltimore. That's fine, all right. Two. So our second
25:17
Speaker 1: most confident pick, I think it's Houston. All right. I'll
25:20
Speaker 1: go Houston and then Dallas and then Dallas. All right.
25:23
Speaker 1: Our most confident pick the month, the one we're putting
25:26
Speaker 1: the most money on Dallas minus one against Seattle. Second
25:32
Speaker 1: most confident Houston minus one against Indie. Third most confident
25:38
Speaker 1: Chargers Baltimore over forty one. Did we say over forty
25:43
Speaker 1: one over over forty one? No, that's the least confident. No. Fourth,
25:50
Speaker 1: most confident is clming line on the money line. Fifth
25:55
Speaker 1: is Houston and Indie over and a half. That's it,
25:59
Speaker 1: we got it. Boom The Super Contest Podcast lives kind
