- 1:05Speaker 1: which is you say it, we bet it. We're gonna

- 1:14Speaker 1: we'll be back on Thursday, will narrow down the slate.
- 1:18Speaker 1: We'll focus in on the five, six, seven bets that
- 1:21Speaker 1: we love the most as we head into Sunday, which
- 1:23Speaker 1: we will put in the Action Network Gap. My brother,
- 1:27Speaker 1: what's going on, Simon and so much is change in
- 1:29Speaker 1: the week. I went from being the only guy with
- 1:31Speaker 1: the first place team to all of us have first
- 1:34Speaker 1: place teams in our own divisions tied for first place.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I should say it's uh, it's NFL. A lot of
- 1:40Speaker 1: changing pieces a week the week. Here's what's amazing, are we?
- 1:43Speaker 1: You know? Week one underdogs winning. You know, everything is
- 1:47Speaker 1: fantastic for guys like us who tend to favor playing
- 1:51Speaker 1: the underdogs. Anyways, it's brilliant. Works out perfectly. The next week.
- 1:56Speaker 1: You and I were all over the Eagles, were all
- 1:59Speaker 1: over the jagu um. We're all over Atlanta, Atlanta um,
- 2:08Speaker 1: and we get our ass handing to us. I would say,
- 2:13Speaker 1: of all the losses again, we can talk about our
- 2:16Speaker 1: bad ones, the Colts money line and Vikings money line.
- 2:19Speaker 1: The Cult should have won that game. Carson Wentz his
- 2:22Speaker 1: turnovers and decisions. The decisions he was making was the
- 2:25Speaker 1: reason they didn't win that game. The Vikings, though, the
- 2:27Speaker 1: missfield goal, oh my god, the Atlanta one, which launted
- 2:32Speaker 1: us for a long time. They were down three with
- 2:34Speaker 1: the ball in the third quarter, so I think there's
- 2:36Speaker 1: three minutes up in the third quarter. Tampa Bay scored
- 2:38Speaker 1: twenty one and answered points. You can't make it up.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It hurts, but that's why we do a value based job.
- 2:45Speaker 1: And all these people who want all that money, all
- 2:48Speaker 1: the chalk bets all day, they lost all the chiefs
- 2:50Speaker 1: while I mean, you had to walk off home run
- 2:52Speaker 1: with the Ravens. So it's the life and flow of
- 2:55Speaker 1: pro and verse. Show're gonna get the knockout blow at
- 2:57Speaker 1: the end of the day. Yeah, you gotta stick with
- 2:58Speaker 1: your principles. That's the the line. Like it's not all
- 3:01Speaker 1: of a sudden like we're only going to bet favorites
- 3:03Speaker 1: this week. We're gonna go with the what the numbers
- 3:05Speaker 1: are telling us. And when we see the value and
- 3:08Speaker 1: and you know, in the long run, if you're doing
- 3:11Speaker 1: it right, if you're doing it the way that you
- 3:13Speaker 1: know you and I have been doing it for years,
- 3:16Speaker 1: then you end up enjoying your betting experience. You are
- 3:21Speaker 1: the anomaly, You're the exception to the rule. You're the
- 3:24Speaker 1: person who has turned this into a career. Most people
- 3:26Speaker 1: are not. Most people shouldn't. Most people should just be thinking,
- 3:29Speaker 1: I want to put a few bucks down on the weekend.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I want to come out with more than I did
- 3:34Speaker 1: at the end of the season. I want to break
- 3:36Speaker 1: even at the end of the season. I want to
- 3:37Speaker 1: enjoy the experience. That's it. If anyone thinks they're doing
- 3:40Speaker 1: this to get rich, this was a very good weekend
- 3:42Speaker 1: to explain why you don't do this to get rich.
- 3:45Speaker 1: You do this too, Salt the experience, have a little
- 3:49Speaker 1: bit more fun. Also, the NFL is getting more and
- 3:54Speaker 1: more interesting because the era of of go with your gut,
- 3:58Speaker 1: cover your ass coaching is disappearing. And and you saw
- 4:04Speaker 1: it with the way the Eagles consistently went for it
- 4:08Speaker 1: at the goal line on fourth and goal. It was
- 4:11Speaker 1: costing us because we needed the points, but they were like,
- 4:14Speaker 1: four seven is worth more than three. I'll have this
- 4:16Speaker 1: team backed up, you know. Unfortunately for them, the Niners
- 4:20Speaker 1: drove the ball down yards down the field and scored
- 4:23Speaker 1: a touchdown, but analytically it was the right call. Miami
- 4:26Speaker 1: the same thing, continued to go for it on fourth
- 4:28Speaker 1: and goal. The Colts continued to go for it on
- 4:31Speaker 1: fourth and goal. The best worked out for US was
- 4:34Speaker 1: the Ravens John Harbaugh asking Lamar Jackson, do you want
- 4:38Speaker 1: to go for this on fourth and one to end
- 4:40Speaker 1: the game? Worked out great for us, but like How
- 4:43Speaker 1: does that make us rethink handicapping? How does it make
- 4:47Speaker 1: us rethink handicapping totals all this stuff When there is
- 4:52Speaker 1: more and more analytics coming into play at the goal
- 4:54Speaker 1: line on fourth downs. I believe it's even more of
- 4:57Speaker 1: a reason about these money lines on these teams. Um,
- 5:00Speaker 1: Tennessee was gonna lose that game, but they went forward
- 5:02Speaker 1: on fourth and ten, they got it, and not only
- 5:04Speaker 1: did they cover the number, they went out right. If
- 5:06Speaker 1: they didn't get it on that fourth down, guess what
- 5:08Speaker 1: they would have lost by seven. They wouldn't have covered
- 5:10Speaker 1: any of the numbers. So as a value based job,
- 5:13Speaker 1: I find myself taking more money lines on these underdogs. Um,
- 5:18Speaker 1: it did not work out for me a lot this weekend,
- 5:20Speaker 1: like that. The Atlanta one was such false hope where
- 5:23Speaker 1: it was like they're down through the ball. The Troit's
- 5:25Speaker 1: money line was I think everyone in America was behind
- 5:29Speaker 1: that because that whole twenty five dollar back kid where
- 5:31Speaker 1: it was like this kid was dollars and seven thousand
- 5:34Speaker 1: dollars and first half I was dancing. I was like,
- 5:38Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. Like Green Bay's defense overrated, Aaron
- 5:42Speaker 1: Rodgers overrated, and they came on the second half, absolutely
- 5:45Speaker 1: dominated Detroit and just completely blew that game out. So again,
- 5:49Speaker 1: as much as the Joe's won, um, they won some games,
- 5:53Speaker 1: it was definitely a split week where the pros won
- 5:55Speaker 1: a little bit and the public went a little bit.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Was kind of one of those things, uh that the dogs,
- 6:00Speaker 1: the dogs showed up at the big big dogs. None
- 6:03Speaker 1: of them want outright, which we need for Survivor contest
- 6:05Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, so we we're gonna have a very
- 6:07Speaker 1: special review at the end of the podcast. Reminder on Thursday,
- 6:11Speaker 1: we'll get into Survivor picks or five best picks, etcetera, etcetera.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So listen up for Thursday as well. Um, the only
- 6:18Speaker 1: coach not playing, the only coach who continues to play
- 6:20Speaker 1: cover your ass football. That would be Matt Nagy, who
- 6:23Speaker 1: refuses to admit what everybody else in the world can
- 6:26Speaker 1: see that Justin Field should be the starting quarterback because
- 6:29Speaker 1: he says Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback if
- 6:32Speaker 1: he's healthy. We'll get to that, I promise you. First
- 6:35Speaker 1: up on the docket Thursday Night football Bump Bump Bump, Uh,
- 6:40Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans Game open four and a half.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Now Texans plus eight, massive home underdog with a team
- 6:51Speaker 1: playing without its starting quarterback, which was the only reason
- 6:54Speaker 1: really to even think about betting on this team against
- 6:56Speaker 1: the Panthers team that now everyone in the world is
- 6:59Speaker 1: gonna be over valuating because they did what we said
- 7:01Speaker 1: they would do. Cover against the Jets, cover against the Saints.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I love this for Houston when it was too rot
- 7:08Speaker 1: because this is typical, like you just spoke about, We
- 7:11Speaker 1: knew that Carolines would come in flying high. Again. Texas
- 7:14Speaker 1: played way better than I gave him any credit before.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I thought Cleveland was gonna really show up in that game,
- 7:17Speaker 1: and they didn't. Houston hung in that game the entire time.
- 7:21Speaker 1: You want to talk about coach blunders that you should
- 7:22Speaker 1: watch this clip of the Texans head coach. He had
- 7:25Speaker 1: a penalty, he accepted it, and he was He had
- 7:27Speaker 1: a fourth and one, and instead of going for you,
- 7:30Speaker 1: punted in the middle of the field. So there's still
- 7:32Speaker 1: some coaches out there that make these bone head moves
- 7:34Speaker 1: on fourth down. But I believe what he said was,
- 7:37Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of analytics and football, but
- 7:39Speaker 1: I gotta go with my guts sometimes and his gut
- 7:42Speaker 1: told him too instead of accepting, instead of declining a
- 7:46Speaker 1: penalty and having third and ten, he accepted the penalty
- 7:49Speaker 1: for fourth and one and then punted the ball. Yeah,
- 7:52Speaker 1: so's a lot of we might be, um, we might
- 7:56Speaker 1: be looking back when it's Texas teams. Remember how good
- 7:58Speaker 1: they were for those first two weeks and then they
- 8:00Speaker 1: just completely fell apart. And I love that the pro
- 8:04Speaker 1: and me is like staring at this and going, you
- 8:06Speaker 1: gotta take the seven and a half. This is overvalued.
- 8:09Speaker 1: But because it's Thursday night, a lot of times I
- 8:12Speaker 1: like to just think to myself, how how likely is
- 8:15Speaker 1: it for this team to cover this number? And when
- 8:18Speaker 1: we're looking at Carolina, you kind of alluded to it.
- 8:20Speaker 1: This defense, they might be for real with Carolina, they
- 8:23Speaker 1: might have one of the better defense in the league.
- 8:25Speaker 1: They completely dominated the Saints. I know the Saints team,
- 8:27Speaker 1: we're missing a lot of their coaches, but that that
- 8:30Speaker 1: didn't look too flukey to me. That the Carolina's game
- 8:32Speaker 1: plan was really sound in that game. And Sam Donald,
- 8:36Speaker 1: your guy, you look good in that game as well.
- 8:39Speaker 1: And we're just looking at about offense in the town.
- 8:41Speaker 1: On both sides of the ball, I think there's a
- 8:43Speaker 1: big advantage here with Carolina, and now you're taking to
- 8:45Speaker 1: Rod Taylor out and putting in I think a rookie
- 8:47Speaker 1: quarterback for Houston. I don't know what they're gonna what
- 8:49Speaker 1: they're gonna go with, but if it's if it's the rookie,
- 8:54Speaker 1: this is a bad situation because you don't get what
- 8:56Speaker 1: maybe one practice this week before the Thursday game, because
- 8:59Speaker 1: the for a week for this team not good. Not
- 9:02Speaker 1: good for Houston hearing upset spots. So it'll be rare
- 9:05Speaker 1: for me to do the Chalky plays. But I'm gonna
- 9:07Speaker 1: take this one here with Carolina. I'll take the mind
- 9:09Speaker 1: seven and a half. I made this number eight. Yeah,
- 9:11Speaker 1: it's a it's a look. I love this Carolina team. Uh,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I love that rule. We started thinking about them last year.
- 9:18Speaker 1: It's a little bit like the Dolphins two years ago,
- 9:20Speaker 1: where we knew the Dolphins in the sort of set
- 9:24Speaker 1: the last twelve thirteen games of two thousand nineteen, they
- 9:27Speaker 1: were a team you can make money on. You could
- 9:29Speaker 1: see in the effort, you could see in the way
- 9:31Speaker 1: they were playing defense, you could see the way Brian
- 9:33Speaker 1: Flores was coaching. They were gonna be undervalued all year.
- 9:36Speaker 1: I felt that way about Carolina last year. I thought
- 9:39Speaker 1: we'd get a longer time period to enjoy some value
- 9:42Speaker 1: on Carolina. I thought we got I think we got
- 9:44Speaker 1: two weeks and that the ship is sailed on that
- 9:47Speaker 1: and it's gonna be funny looking back where not that
- 9:50Speaker 1: we're gonna say Carolina and Denver both gonna start three
- 9:52Speaker 1: and oh, but it's looking that way. One of these
- 9:55Speaker 1: teams is completely fall apart. Because you're looking at the schedule,
- 9:58Speaker 1: it goes, Okay, Denver is gonna be the Giants. They
- 10:01Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars, now they beat the Jets, and then
- 10:03Speaker 1: Carolina would beat the Texans, that would beat the Saints,
- 10:06Speaker 1: and they would beat the Jets. So it's, uh, it's
- 10:08Speaker 1: a hard it's hard to gage these three no teams
- 10:11Speaker 1: where Carolina or Denver, it's kind of pick your poison there.
- 10:13Speaker 1: One of these teams is gonna fall off massively. And
- 10:15Speaker 1: I actually feel more confident in this Carolina team just
- 10:18Speaker 1: because of the division they're in, where Denver they're in
- 10:20Speaker 1: no way harder division. So people are looking at either
- 10:23Speaker 1: team to ride in fade later on the season. I'm
- 10:25Speaker 1: gonna definitely be fading Denver later in the year. Alright,
- 10:28Speaker 1: good to know this is gonna be one of the
- 10:29Speaker 1: most bad games of the day. Los Angeles Chargers at
- 10:33Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers are six and a half
- 10:37Speaker 1: point underdogs on the road at Kansas City, the first
- 10:42Speaker 1: game on the Sunday slate. Everything in my bones is
- 10:46Speaker 1: telling me I want to take the Chargers here. We
- 10:49Speaker 1: love the Chargers here. The Chiefs are a great teams.
- 10:52Speaker 1: They're gonna win a lot of games this year. Chiefs
- 10:54Speaker 1: don't cover, and they don't have a defense to cover
- 10:56Speaker 1: with that, they are always gonna be open to a
- 10:59Speaker 1: back door. This team could be run on, they can
- 11:01Speaker 1: be passed on. It's never wracking. I don't know what
- 11:04Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna do. They're always gonna be sucept
- 11:06Speaker 1: the role or a good run team. The Chargers coming
- 11:08Speaker 1: off last week, that kind of felt like one of
- 11:10Speaker 1: those again. The bounces just didn't go their way. They
- 11:13Speaker 1: score a touchdown to take a one to seventeen lead,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and they just allowed a touchdown and they go back.
- 11:19Speaker 1: I think you of missing the field goal. Cowboys drive
- 11:21Speaker 1: the field, they kick a field goal, they win the game.
- 11:23Speaker 1: It's sick name, but that's that's how it goes and
- 11:27Speaker 1: the Chargers team is not gonna be as bad as
- 11:29Speaker 1: the public diner precede them, and the Chiefs team is.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I do see them to bounce back and win this game.
- 11:34Speaker 1: This is way too big on a number. There should
- 11:36Speaker 1: have been four and a half. Especially in divisional game
- 11:38Speaker 1: you're getting two to three points, especially if this goes
- 11:40Speaker 1: back up to seven on this Chargers team. So it's
- 11:43Speaker 1: a pro pros versus Joe game. And as a professional
- 11:46Speaker 1: and advisional game, you take this big dog here, especially
- 11:48Speaker 1: when it has a quarterback that we believe in Herbert.
- 11:52Speaker 1: What do you have this rated app four and a half?
- 11:56Speaker 1: You do so, so it's it's one of my bigger
- 11:59Speaker 1: value games on the Kansas City is always a little
- 12:02Speaker 1: bit overvalued just because of my homes. He's he should
- 12:06Speaker 1: be overvalued. He's by far the best quarterback in the league.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Total on this is fifty five and a half. I
- 12:15Speaker 1: lean under because it's divisional where both these teams are
- 12:18Speaker 1: gonna know each I think last year when they played
- 12:20Speaker 1: each other, it was like a flukey game where um
- 12:23Speaker 1: the Chiefs one, like fifteen to fourteen. It was just
- 12:25Speaker 1: really low scoring back and forth. It was Herbert's first
- 12:28Speaker 1: like official start and uh they went toe to toe
- 12:32Speaker 1: last year and played down well. So again, I like
- 12:35Speaker 1: the way the Charges match up with this Chiefs team.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I will say that justin Herbert hasn't looked as good
- 12:42Speaker 1: as he did last year, meaning he made some pretty
- 12:45Speaker 1: bad mistakes in that Cowboys game interception in the end zone.
- 12:49Speaker 1: The week before, he had made bad mistakes against the
- 12:51Speaker 1: Washington Football team through an interception in the red zone
- 12:54Speaker 1: towards their goal line in against the Against the Cowboys,
- 12:58Speaker 1: they couldn't come back from it. Against the Washington Football team,
- 13:00Speaker 1: they got lucky and we're able to come back from it.
- 13:03Speaker 1: That doesn't have me a little bit concerned. It's not good,
- 13:07Speaker 1: there's no there's no word for that. But if you
- 13:09Speaker 1: look at his third down rate, though, there's few players
- 13:12Speaker 1: better than the league than if you have a third
- 13:14Speaker 1: and ten, he's gonna get you that first down. So
- 13:17Speaker 1: I'm just never gonna feel out of this game with
- 13:19Speaker 1: Herbert Herbert. Just again. There, I think they're won their
- 13:22Speaker 1: first game by four points and they lost last week
- 13:23Speaker 1: by three points. They're always gonna be in these games
- 13:26Speaker 1: because I do believe it was a quarterback. But yes,
- 13:29Speaker 1: these these red zone turnovers are nightmarish for Herbert backers.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Do we think this will be one of the games
- 13:35Speaker 1: that we're talking about on Sundays or five best? Are
- 13:38Speaker 1: we gonna two weeks in a row bet against the
- 13:41Speaker 1: Chiefs for our lungs? We might have to because if
- 13:46Speaker 1: you've just faded the Chiefs, I think it's like nine
- 13:48Speaker 1: last the nine last games they played and they have
- 13:50Speaker 1: not covered I believe, or maybe it's eight. Uh, they've
- 13:54Speaker 1: just been overvalued and Vegas is happy to do it
- 13:56Speaker 1: because the public keeps betting the Chiefs. So if this,
- 14:00Speaker 1: if this day is above four and a half five, Chad,
- 14:02Speaker 1: that's likely we're gonna have it in the contest. Oh,
- 14:04Speaker 1: brother man, it's so hard to bet the NFL. You
- 14:09Speaker 1: gotta bounce back so quickly. You can be depressed on
- 14:11Speaker 1: Sunday night. By Tuesday morning, you have to re railling.
- 14:14Speaker 1: If not Sunday night, you gotta be railing because these
- 14:17Speaker 1: lines are coming out. You gotta get the best of
- 14:18Speaker 1: the number. Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns, my beloved Bears
- 14:23Speaker 1: on the road numbers barely moved seven and a half
- 14:26Speaker 1: point Dogs on the Road at Cleveland justin fields. We
- 14:30Speaker 1: hope he will be the starting quarterback. I thought he
- 14:33Speaker 1: looked great. I thought he made great throws. I thought
- 14:35Speaker 1: he did the typical things that rookies do, held on
- 14:37Speaker 1: to the ball too long. But he is so fucking
- 14:41Speaker 1: fast around that corner, and he can make the throws
- 14:43Speaker 1: that you need to make in the NFL accurate, not afraid,
- 14:47Speaker 1: um really strong arm. But this feels high. And then
- 14:51Speaker 1: and this number feels high to me, those are a
- 14:53Speaker 1: pro trap that we're walking right into. Because I immediately
- 14:56Speaker 1: saw this line, I loved it. Bears seven and a
- 14:58Speaker 1: half with this defense, I just feel corportal taking this team.
- 15:02Speaker 1: We were up twenty two three and we have to
- 15:04Speaker 1: sweat out twenty seventeen game because a couple of little
- 15:07Speaker 1: mistakes happened here and there in the fields. Interception in
- 15:10Speaker 1: his own back of the end zone. It's little things
- 15:12Speaker 1: like that and make you nervous with the Bears. But
- 15:14Speaker 1: just going strictly off the number, why why do I
- 15:19Speaker 1: don't know if it feels with a bookmakers know exactly
- 15:22Speaker 1: what they're doing making this seven and a half that
- 15:24Speaker 1: they know the public will happily take the seven a
- 15:26Speaker 1: half because people just don't believe in the Bears, and
- 15:29Speaker 1: they know the pros are happy to take this and
- 15:31Speaker 1: half they're both looking at this defense and they're saying
- 15:33Speaker 1: this defense can keep them in this game against Cleveland
- 15:36Speaker 1: where I don't really have faith in Baker. Baker is
- 15:39Speaker 1: not showing me in two games that he's really the
- 15:42Speaker 1: type of player to have faith in. And I think
- 15:46Speaker 1: a lot is going on there. We're not talking about
- 15:47Speaker 1: his head right now. This contract and it's I know,
- 15:49Speaker 1: it's like one of those things where people are like, oh,
- 15:51Speaker 1: he probably doesn't really care and think about the money.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I had to say, it kind of seems like he is.
- 15:55Speaker 1: He seems like he's pressing a little bit and he's
- 15:57Speaker 1: making throws that they're just not within this the ste
- 16:00Speaker 1: Fantski set up for him so it could be field
- 16:03Speaker 1: first start on the road. It's a little scary with that.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It's a rookie making his first start on the road.
- 16:08Speaker 1: But at seven and a half, this big of my number. Again,
- 16:11Speaker 1: I don't know if it's any where our best fives,
- 16:12Speaker 1: but I can promise you come Sunday, this is a
- 16:14Speaker 1: game I will be betting on for the Bears. What's
- 16:17Speaker 1: your number? Six? And a half, So it's not that
- 16:20Speaker 1: great a value. It's a it's a point, but still
- 16:22Speaker 1: that's that's that's a fair number. Six and a half.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I think as long as you're getting seven and a
- 16:26Speaker 1: half with the Bears, you kind of have to take it. Yeah,
- 16:29Speaker 1: I mean you're going through a key number. The point
- 16:31Speaker 1: going through a key number is worth considerably more than
- 16:35Speaker 1: it days if you're going from you know, a couple
- 16:37Speaker 1: of dead numbers, So that has to be taken into consideration.
- 16:41Speaker 1: This feels like a game. I almost want to put
- 16:44Speaker 1: it out in my head. I don't want to be
- 16:46Speaker 1: thinking about this game as a game we're gonna bet
- 16:48Speaker 1: because something about it doesn't feel right. But like there's
- 16:51Speaker 1: no instinctive edge. Everything you said is true. There's too
- 16:55Speaker 1: many going against both teams for me to feel like
- 16:59Speaker 1: I have it other than your number, which is a
- 17:01Speaker 1: point of value, But I'm not gonna feel that confident
- 17:04Speaker 1: about it. Very big challenge. Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 17:11Speaker 1: The overvalued Arizona Cardinals on the road, who opened his
- 17:16Speaker 1: two and a half point favorites against the Jags. Now
- 17:19Speaker 1: that number is at seven and a half. We are
- 17:22Speaker 1: going to be forced to bet the Jacksonville Jaguars again
- 17:25Speaker 1: as massive home underdogs against the team that was a
- 17:30Speaker 1: field goal away from being one and one. And when
- 17:33Speaker 1: there's not if that if that field goal goes in,
- 17:36Speaker 1: this number is probably six. Right, So, because that field
- 17:40Speaker 1: goal by the Vikings did not go in, there's numbers
- 17:43Speaker 1: now seven and a half. The Jags are terrible, like
- 17:47Speaker 1: urban Meyer is awful. He doesn't know what he's doing.
- 17:50Speaker 1: It was a disgusting display against the Broncos team that
- 17:54Speaker 1: should not have covered that game, a game that the
- 17:56Speaker 1: jack could have stolen. Tell me why I'm betting this game.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I'm so sorry people you have to do this, but
- 18:04Speaker 1: you have to bet the Jaguars. There. This is it's
- 18:09Speaker 1: not fun, it's not gonna be enjoyable game. But it's
- 18:11Speaker 1: just like the Colts last week. Even people that watched
- 18:15Speaker 1: that entire Colts game can't tell you how they covered
- 18:17Speaker 1: the three and a half against the Rams um but
- 18:20Speaker 1: they did. And that's the kind of same situation here
- 18:23Speaker 1: with the Jaguars. You have a home dog. Even me
- 18:26Speaker 1: and Cha I don't want to bet on this team
- 18:27Speaker 1: because we're so burned from them from last week. I mean,
- 18:30Speaker 1: ridiculous Trevor Lawrence. I should have stuck to my gut.
- 18:34Speaker 1: I remember watching that priests the game. I said, I
- 18:36Speaker 1: don't there's something about it. I don't like about hit
- 18:39Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence. And man, he was awful in that game.
- 18:44Speaker 1: I'll have to go through the numbers, but he had
- 18:46Speaker 1: one of the lowest, lowest accuracies of all the quarterbacks
- 18:50Speaker 1: the entire league. He had thrown some of the least
- 18:52Speaker 1: catchable balls all the quarterbacks in the league, and a
- 18:56Speaker 1: lot of red flags with urban Urban Meyers adjustments is
- 18:59Speaker 1: second half adjustments are just not good. Um, the man
- 19:03Speaker 1: truly might be overwhelmed here. So we are going to
- 19:07Speaker 1: talk about this game a lot. Um. I already know
- 19:10Speaker 1: this is gonna be you know this is This is
- 19:14Speaker 1: gonna typical games where I'm gonna hate it all week
- 19:16Speaker 1: and then probably end up putting a lot of money
- 19:18Speaker 1: on it comes Sunday. But as we sit here on Tuesday,
- 19:21Speaker 1: I cannot tell people to bet this game now. I
- 19:24Speaker 1: can't tell people put this in their best five picks. Um,
- 19:28Speaker 1: too too many things going on right now to really
- 19:30Speaker 1: bet this one where I took the seven a half
- 19:33Speaker 1: just because I'm worried I might go back to seven.
- 19:35Speaker 1: But now is the you know that was Sunday night,
- 19:37Speaker 1: now that it's Tuesday, and it's just sat there this
- 19:39Speaker 1: whole time. I don't think you need to rush to
- 19:41Speaker 1: take this number. So I wouldn't make it. My Sigmon
- 19:43Speaker 1: says game of the Day. We still got a signment,
- 19:47Speaker 1: says must Bet. I'm surprised. The Sigmon says, wasn't the Chargers.
- 19:50Speaker 1: To be honest, it was, But again, I don't want
- 19:54Speaker 1: to give these people say better right now because I
- 19:57Speaker 1: think again that could go up to seven. Again. It's
- 19:59Speaker 1: not only the Pros are gonna be bad in the Chargers,
- 20:01Speaker 1: it's that's that's the public's can becoming so heavy on
- 20:04Speaker 1: teasers on the Chiefs because again it's at six and
- 20:07Speaker 1: a half points now, so you have a six point teaser.
- 20:09Speaker 1: All you need is the Chiefs to win after they
- 20:11Speaker 1: just lost last week. A lot of traps chat, so
- 20:14Speaker 1: many traps. What if we think of the total on
- 20:16Speaker 1: the cards Jacks, it's uh fifty one and a half
- 20:20Speaker 1: love the over? Uh I am a sucker for pain,
- 20:23Speaker 1: just like we took the over where the Vikings and
- 20:24Speaker 1: the car was last week. And I might have hit
- 20:26Speaker 1: in the first half. Um Cardinals defense has problems. I
- 20:33Speaker 1: know they looked like they're all world against the Titans,
- 20:35Speaker 1: but it looked like that was just the Titans kind
- 20:37Speaker 1: of beating up themselves. The Jaguars we've seen they can
- 20:40Speaker 1: move the ball, and Trevor's Lawrence loves to turn the
- 20:42Speaker 1: ball over. So you gonna have a lot of short fields,
- 20:46Speaker 1: a lot a lot of a lot of points scored
- 20:47Speaker 1: in this matchup here. So I definitely will be on
- 20:50Speaker 1: the over in this game. You know, if I know
- 20:52Speaker 1: the public's are coming to have you on this over,
- 20:53Speaker 1: I'm gonna be right there with him. Yeah, right now
- 20:56Speaker 1: here over is getting ridiculous. The bets of the money
- 21:01Speaker 1: again a little early. You can discount the money a
- 21:04Speaker 1: little bit because it's a little could be a pro money,
- 21:06Speaker 1: but that is terrifying the money. That's never good. Sometimes
- 21:09Speaker 1: when we're doing this show, I feel a little bit
- 21:11Speaker 1: like Steve Cornaki or John King in front of the maps.
- 21:14Speaker 1: More votes are gonna come in, It's gonna balance out.
- 21:17Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel talking about the percentage
- 21:20Speaker 1: of money in bets on a Tuesday. As we head
- 21:22Speaker 1: into a Sunday, Washington football team at Buffalo Bills. Wow,
- 21:29Speaker 1: this number opened at seven. After the bills dominating performance
- 21:32Speaker 1: against Miami, it's up to eight and a half. The
- 21:35Speaker 1: total is forty five and a half. Here's my concern
- 21:39Speaker 1: the Washington football team. We were in love with their
- 21:43Speaker 1: front four and their defense. It kind of looked like
- 21:46Speaker 1: ship the first two weeks. Yeah, I hit the Bills
- 21:49Speaker 1: right when it came out with the seven, but not
- 21:51Speaker 1: because of the defense. Because it's Heineke's first road start
- 21:54Speaker 1: as a starter. Again, people forget this kid is undrafted,
- 21:57Speaker 1: undrafted quarterback. I love the way you play is uh.
- 22:00Speaker 1: He had flashes in that game where he looks like
- 22:02Speaker 1: a really good, comfortable quarterback, and these other moments where
- 22:05Speaker 1: he looks really bad. You're telling me this kid's making
- 22:07Speaker 1: his first road start against the Bills, the Bills mafia
- 22:10Speaker 1: after that huge win last week. If they didn't blow
- 22:13Speaker 1: out have such a big win last week, I'd be
- 22:15Speaker 1: all over this one for us. That's something giving me,
- 22:17Speaker 1: Paul is is it's never good to really take the
- 22:20Speaker 1: team after they just won thirty five nothing. It's usually
- 22:23Speaker 1: the following week it's not gonna be as easy for them.
- 22:25Speaker 1: But I have faith because I don't think Josh Allen
- 22:28Speaker 1: looked great against Miami fourteen points in the first half.
- 22:31Speaker 1: He wasn't throwing and making huge plays over the field.
- 22:34Speaker 1: This will be kind of a get right game for him.
- 22:36Speaker 1: This is uh, like you just talked about. The Washington
- 22:38Speaker 1: Front four hasn't really been doing much. It's just because
- 22:40Speaker 1: their secondaries looks so bad. I mean, Daniel Jones just
- 22:43Speaker 1: tore them up passing it. And now you have a
- 22:46Speaker 1: way better version Josh Allen, who's everything the Giants changes
- 22:50Speaker 1: could dream Daniel Jones would be. So we'll wait and
- 22:53Speaker 1: see if it comes down a little bit. But right now,
- 22:55Speaker 1: that's one of my few favorites that I like with
- 22:57Speaker 1: the public here. I like the bills. The bills make
- 23:02Speaker 1: me wallus out, get your files upthing town, throw your
- 23:05Speaker 1: hands up, then throw your hand back and throw all
- 23:09Speaker 1: Now the bills. I'm thinking it happens now, but for
- 23:12Speaker 1: now we're not including it in our Winnow it down
- 23:16Speaker 1: for Thursday before we winnow it down for Sunday because
- 23:19Speaker 1: the numbers a little bit inflated. Yeah, and there's other
- 23:21Speaker 1: favorites we like. We're gonna like better. Oh, I didn't
- 23:24Speaker 1: know that right now so far, Just to remind people,
- 23:26Speaker 1: we're trying to narrow it down. We usually like to
- 23:28Speaker 1: have six, seven eight games that we like heading into Thursday,
- 23:32Speaker 1: so we can come up with five after the Thursday
- 23:34Speaker 1: pod that we are focused in on, and then on
- 23:37Speaker 1: Sunday we'll really narrow it down because oftentimes some lines move,
- 23:42Speaker 1: and on Sunday we decide what we like the best.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I put those picks in the Action Network app so
- 23:48Speaker 1: you can follow along there. Indianapolis Cults at Tennessee Titan's
- 23:53Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts not looking good. Carson Wentz I still have
- 23:57Speaker 1: no idea why you've ever believed in him, even though
- 23:59Speaker 1: they paid us this weekend. He's got two spraying ankles.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Who the hell knows what's gonna happen with them. They're
- 24:05Speaker 1: five and a half point dogs on the road division
- 24:07Speaker 1: game against the Titans. I think we misread these teams.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I think the Titans are better than we thought. I
- 24:13Speaker 1: think the Coals are gonna be worse than we thought.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is just not a good quarterback. He's on
- 24:17Speaker 1: his fourth string left tackle chat. I watched this game.
- 24:21Speaker 1: He made every bad decision you commit he never makes
- 24:24Speaker 1: a good decision. They scored twenty four points. But yeah,
- 24:27Speaker 1: he holds on the ball too long. He's an idiot.
- 24:29Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. He's still making mistakes that
- 24:31Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks make. Um. He has regressed completely from the
- 24:36Speaker 1: year he almost won the MVP. So I can't fault
- 24:39Speaker 1: you in what you're saying there is There is no
- 24:40Speaker 1: defense of Carson once anymore. Another truck he played by me.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I will be on the Titans here. I know. They
- 24:45Speaker 1: just had a big emotional win in Seattle. The coaches
- 24:48Speaker 1: have a lot of issues. Man. You can say what
- 24:50Speaker 1: you wanted about Carson. He was the best quarterback on
- 24:52Speaker 1: that roster. They're gonna take a step back of the
- 24:54Speaker 1: quarterback position. Whoever they put in there. I don't know
- 24:56Speaker 1: if it's gonna be the rookie or the second year kid.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Not good. Not good for the Colts and the total.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I liked it at first, like really heavy for the under.
- 25:06Speaker 1: But now because it's not gonna be Carson's making a
- 25:08Speaker 1: little scared because, like you know, these young kids could
- 25:11Speaker 1: come in here and just start turning the bowl over
- 25:12Speaker 1: like we saw last week exactly what's had four interceptions. Um,
- 25:16Speaker 1: that's why they give me pause. This was gonna be
- 25:17Speaker 1: my bigger bets, this under because these guys usually play
- 25:20Speaker 1: towards the under. So I'm gonna wait and see, um
- 25:23Speaker 1: where this number ends up and what the quarterback situation is.
- 25:26Speaker 1: But uh, I don't really like either side that much
- 25:29Speaker 1: in this. But my bigger bet and this would be
- 25:31Speaker 1: definitely be towards the under. Did you see anything you know?
- 25:36Speaker 1: I think we've misread the Titans a little bit. I
- 25:38Speaker 1: think they found some kind of success against the Seahawks.
- 25:43Speaker 1: The reaction over reaction. They were down fourteen and the
- 25:47Speaker 1: fourth like they just had to. I mean, if there
- 25:49Speaker 1: wasn't taunting penalties, they never would have got back into
- 25:52Speaker 1: this game. They got two first downs on one drive
- 25:54Speaker 1: because of taunting penalties. So again, thanks just didn't bounce
- 25:58Speaker 1: our way shadow, It's it's only weak too. Don't overreact you.
- 26:01Speaker 1: I'm not listen, I'm not overreacting. I'm reacting. There's a difference.
- 26:05Speaker 1: There's a difference. I'm reacting and I'm also don't don't
- 26:09Speaker 1: try to say to me that I'm panicking. I am
- 26:13Speaker 1: the least panicky. Come on, all right, everybody, and That's
- 26:16Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Guys. We've made a great effort
- 26:18Speaker 1: so far. Let's just keep it off. That's right. We
- 26:21Speaker 1: can't have anyone freak out out there. Okay, you've got
- 26:24Speaker 1: a keymark a Polser. It's got too far, it's too much,
- 26:28Speaker 1: too that panic. Literally you, I've never seen you be
- 26:34Speaker 1: more Joe public than when you text me Sunday night
- 26:36Speaker 1: after the Ravens, when you said, funk we needed that.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I'm just like, there's sixteen more weeks, Chad, we don't
- 26:42Speaker 1: need ship. We can go. I owe five the next
- 26:44Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Yeah, I feel oh no, no, no,
- 26:46Speaker 1: no listen, but it's like no, no, no, no, no no,
- 26:50Speaker 1: don't add Joe cool for the podcast right now. I
- 26:53Speaker 1: know even though you were sleeping Sunday night when I
- 26:55Speaker 1: texted you, I know that you went to bed sweating
- 26:59Speaker 1: and hoping. You tell next to me during the day
- 27:00Speaker 1: on Sunday, getting upset about certain games. I don't don't
- 27:04Speaker 1: act like you're above it all. I am, though. Literally,
- 27:07Speaker 1: you know what happened chat he threw up pick six
- 27:09Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I bet more on the Ravens, and then
- 27:12Speaker 1: I went to bed. You're right, I went to bed
- 27:13Speaker 1: and I got woken up by hundreds of people texting
- 27:16Speaker 1: me saying thank you. So I didn't get your thank
- 27:18Speaker 1: you text? I got thank god we didn't funk that up. Yeah,
- 27:24Speaker 1: I forgot. Maybe my thank you text got lost in
- 27:27Speaker 1: the oh. Why the funk do we keep betting the Falcons?
- 27:30Speaker 1: When you said, when you said, by the way, good
- 27:33Speaker 1: good transition, when you said on Sunday morning, we're gonna
- 27:37Speaker 1: put the Falcons in our best five. And if they
- 27:40Speaker 1: don't do it again, if they if they do what
- 27:42Speaker 1: they did the week before, if they lose again like
- 27:44Speaker 1: they lost the week before, we never have to talk
- 27:47Speaker 1: about the Falcons again. On a self anointed by you
- 27:51Speaker 1: Falcons podcast? Done with Them? Atlanta Falcons at New York
- 27:57Speaker 1: Giants Falcons are plus three on the road. Here's the
- 28:01Speaker 1: thing I'm back in. How do we not take the
- 28:03Speaker 1: Falcons here? How do we not take the Falcons in
- 28:06Speaker 1: this game against a terrible Giants team and a terrible
- 28:10Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I'm pissed. We already missed the best of
- 28:12Speaker 1: the number. It was three and a half. I know three.
- 28:14Speaker 1: This is why I hate our job. We have to
- 28:16Speaker 1: take the Falcons here this number should be three. We
- 28:19Speaker 1: can wait maybe because of two and a half, and
- 28:20Speaker 1: we can take the Giants and try to fade the
- 28:22Speaker 1: public because I think everyone has the same mentality as you.
- 28:25Speaker 1: It's like this Giants team sucks. Everyone watched them Thursday night.
- 28:29Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of this Giants team
- 28:31Speaker 1: because it is the trap where Daniel Jones only plays
- 28:33Speaker 1: good twice a year. It's Skins Washington football team. So
- 28:36Speaker 1: I'm with you. Um, I like the Falcons here, but
- 28:39Speaker 1: I refuse to put them in our contests or our
- 28:41Speaker 1: best five. It doesn't matter if they're they're there, if
- 28:44Speaker 1: they're underdog by thirty points to the Jets. We're not
- 28:47Speaker 1: doing it until we see them actually show any signs
- 28:50Speaker 1: of life. But it is the right side right now.
- 28:53Speaker 1: By the way, the percentage of the bets and the
- 28:56Speaker 1: percentage of the money is all on the Falcons. Agree
- 29:00Speaker 1: with you. We're gonna the Giants then, yeah, yeah, Like
- 29:03Speaker 1: this game is gonna the number is gonna drop, it's
- 29:05Speaker 1: gonna go into three. At that point you got about
- 29:08Speaker 1: the Giants, Thank god, because I really don't want it better.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Like that was. I literally collapsed when they when you
- 29:16Speaker 1: threw that second pick six, I go, why what is happening?
- 29:19Speaker 1: And the guy hadn't thrown a pick in like six
- 29:22Speaker 1: weeks and you threw two picks six in the same
- 29:24Speaker 1: game you collapsed. Why why are you getting so upset?
- 29:27Speaker 1: We got sixty more weeks. What are you getting upset
- 29:29Speaker 1: about it? Because I bet real money. I bet real money.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Don't pull your double standard on me. Okay, you panicked
- 29:37Speaker 1: with the Falcons. It made you upset. I was excited
- 29:39Speaker 1: about the Ravens. I stayed up way past my bedtime
- 29:42Speaker 1: to watch it because I knew that my karma, my
- 29:44Speaker 1: good will could could bring them to victory. And it happened.
- 29:48Speaker 1: You're welcome. I did that for you, even after you
- 29:51Speaker 1: bet more money on the money line on the Ravens,
- 29:53Speaker 1: because that's what I do. I want us both to win.
- 29:56Speaker 1: You didn't need to watch it, though I told you
- 29:57Speaker 1: that was a guaranteed winner. That's right. I forgot about that.
- 30:00Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots, the Saints on
- 30:05Speaker 1: the road. Oh my god, this game has so much drama.
- 30:08Speaker 1: You've got Sean Payton, Bill Parcel's disciple, Bill Belichick, Bill
- 30:12Speaker 1: Parcel's disciple, Sean Payton offensive genius. A coach is coach,
- 30:16Speaker 1: a guy that everybody loves. Bill Belichick defensive genius, a
- 30:21Speaker 1: guy that everybody hates playing with a quarterback who makes
- 30:25Speaker 1: no mistakes, doesn't throw the ball downfield against the quarterback
- 30:28Speaker 1: who always throws the ball downfield, even into quadruple coverage,
- 30:32Speaker 1: and he's falling backwards and he's on one leg and
- 30:34Speaker 1: can't see where he's throwing it. Things plus three. I
- 30:37Speaker 1: really like the Saints. No, I hate this game. I
- 30:40Speaker 1: hate the whole thing. Okay, yeah, I was gonna I
- 30:42Speaker 1: just don't think we're gonna take this because it feels
- 30:44Speaker 1: like a really smart number. I had this game at three.
- 30:46Speaker 1: I just go towards the home team here and I'll
- 30:48Speaker 1: be on the Patriots. Um, but this isn't very I
- 30:51Speaker 1: don't see a lot of value in this game. Either
- 30:53Speaker 1: team could truly win this. Jamis Winston though, Wow, he
- 30:57Speaker 1: really really looked bad against Carolina. I know he's not
- 31:00Speaker 1: that bad, but kind of gave me like PTSD flashbacks
- 31:04Speaker 1: to his days in the Pampa Bay and it's like, Okay,
- 31:07Speaker 1: maybe we maybe we did think. Um, he'sn't exactly who
- 31:10Speaker 1: we thought he was. I think he'll be better than
- 31:11Speaker 1: he was against Carolina. But we have to trust Belichick
- 31:14Speaker 1: at home here with this defense that he has his
- 31:17Speaker 1: guys ready for this kind of matchup. So we'll we'll
- 31:20Speaker 1: take the Patriots, but there's not much value in this
- 31:22Speaker 1: line total is forty one and a half. Tiny, tiny number.
- 31:27Speaker 1: The Patriots have played with the under in two games
- 31:29Speaker 1: so far this year, about the same number. Saint or
- 31:35Speaker 1: tune out to the under as well. Yeah, but they
- 31:37Speaker 1: also scored thirty eight points in one game. Yeah, but
- 31:41Speaker 1: luckily Green Bay scored three. Yeah. Yeah, like the under.
- 31:44Speaker 1: But it's it's these load totals are always scarier. I
- 31:46Speaker 1: don't I don't put a lot on them. But this
- 31:48Speaker 1: is this is a good under matchup where Winston cannot
- 31:51Speaker 1: show up again, and we just haven't seen mac Jones
- 31:53Speaker 1: really show that he can score a lot of points.
- 31:55Speaker 1: He kind of just seems to be a game manager,
- 31:56Speaker 1: not the kind of guy that's gonna be thrown it
- 31:58Speaker 1: downfield a lot so well, or not even throw it downfield.
- 32:00Speaker 1: I mean, and he's not he's not taking the chances
- 32:04Speaker 1: to throw downfield. He's only looking for the checkdowns, the underneath,
- 32:09Speaker 1: the five yards instead of trying to get for fifty yards. Well,
- 32:12Speaker 1: it was interesting because he did have a couple of
- 32:14Speaker 1: different times like when I watched the game, but he
- 32:16Speaker 1: did and a deep deep throw, he didn't wait on it.
- 32:19Speaker 1: He just took the easy checkdown and White or you
- 32:22Speaker 1: just like you just said, he's taking a lower throat.
- 32:24Speaker 1: So maybe that's more about Max just not trying to
- 32:26Speaker 1: lose the game than win the game. I think it's
- 32:29Speaker 1: the instruction that he's getting. Yeah. Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions. Alright,
- 32:35Speaker 1: so the Lions played last night. It's Tuesday afternoon. We're
- 32:38Speaker 1: looking at the Ravens visiting the Lions. Ravens right now,
- 32:43Speaker 1: looks like they're about seven and a half. I'm seeing
- 32:47Speaker 1: a nine out there, but consensus line line at FanDuel
- 32:51Speaker 1: Ravens minus seven and a half. Look, this Lions team
- 32:55Speaker 1: is really interesting. They're playing with a lot more energy
- 32:59Speaker 1: and passion and less incompetence so far in two halves
- 33:06Speaker 1: then I thought we'd see but then in two other
- 33:10Speaker 1: halves they're completely incompetent. Right. The second half of the
- 33:12Speaker 1: Niners game amazing, The first half of the Packers game amazing.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Second half of the Packers game, first half of the
- 33:18Speaker 1: Niners game. They look like a team coach by a
- 33:21Speaker 1: guy who wants to bite kneecaps. So this team is Detroit.
- 33:24Speaker 1: We're gonna kick you in the teeth, and when you
- 33:26Speaker 1: punch this, we're gonna smile at you. And when you
- 33:28Speaker 1: knock us down, we're gonna get up. And on the
- 33:30Speaker 1: way up, we're gonna buy a knee cap off. All right,
- 33:32Speaker 1: We're gonna take your other knee cap. Before long, we're
- 33:35Speaker 1: theyre going to be the last one standing. We finally
- 33:37Speaker 1: get to see the Ravens play a bad team. It's
- 33:41Speaker 1: been two weeks. They played Oakland, who Las Vegas Raiders
- 33:45Speaker 1: who turned up to be a good team. Uh, they
- 33:47Speaker 1: played the Chiefs, so we all think is a good team.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Now they finally get the lines, so we all know
- 33:52Speaker 1: kind of suck. And we've seen it last year, the
- 33:55Speaker 1: year before, the year before that. Lamar destroys bad teams.
- 33:59Speaker 1: So it's interesting where this betting is kind of split
- 34:02Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it's like right below six
- 34:04Speaker 1: of um the money and the bets coming in on
- 34:06Speaker 1: the Ravens. Interesting where I thought more people would be
- 34:10Speaker 1: on the Ravens after such a big win. But I
- 34:13Speaker 1: guess people really do like what they saw the Lines
- 34:15Speaker 1: that said they could be competitive game. Um, I think
- 34:17Speaker 1: it's the other way. I think the Ravens kind of
- 34:20Speaker 1: a turn the corner there. People people gave it too much.
- 34:23Speaker 1: We're like, oh, look they look like they won their
- 34:25Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Look how excited and half they are like
- 34:27Speaker 1: going crazy. It's like, I mean, we didn't we just
- 34:30Speaker 1: see that with Las Vegas. We might have put too
- 34:32Speaker 1: much into that where it's like, look at that when
- 34:33Speaker 1: they had over the Ravens and they went into Pittsburgh
- 34:35Speaker 1: and just absolutely dominated. I just want to put too
- 34:38Speaker 1: much into them celebrating um like other people are. I
- 34:41Speaker 1: think that doesn't really matter as much, so as long
- 34:44Speaker 1: as just stays below what I haven't that I have
- 34:45Speaker 1: at nine and a half, I like this number for
- 34:47Speaker 1: the Ravens. Um. The Lines are a good team that
- 34:52Speaker 1: can can do something like do things where other teams
- 34:55Speaker 1: aren't gonna be able to handle. Where they have a
- 34:57Speaker 1: big D line and they have a big old line.
- 34:59Speaker 1: The Ravens a pretty much fil the exact same way,
- 35:01Speaker 1: but they have Lamar Jackson running that offense. So I love,
- 35:05Speaker 1: I love, love love UM the ravensurance. We'll talk about Thursday.
- 35:10Speaker 1: This might be one of our survivor picks because the
- 35:12Speaker 1: Ravens don't have that many easy games coming up this year.
- 35:16Speaker 1: This goes against everything you believe in. Yeah, with home dogs,
- 35:21Speaker 1: can't always can't always think. It's like we got smacked
- 35:23Speaker 1: around last week about those home dogs where it was like,
- 35:25Speaker 1: I I told you before our games you've kicked off,
- 35:27Speaker 1: I said, Chad, I have way too many I have
- 35:29Speaker 1: way too much skewed to where these home teams I
- 35:32Speaker 1: think that road teams I'm gonna eleven of five against
- 35:34Speaker 1: the spread. Um, I just don't get caught with that
- 35:37Speaker 1: same situation where it goes, Okay, Detroit his home. They
- 35:40Speaker 1: have good fans, but does that really make that much
- 35:42Speaker 1: of a difference to this. Probably not. They don't there
- 35:44Speaker 1: The Detroit fan base has been through enough. Um It's
- 35:49Speaker 1: it's one of those where I need to kind of
- 35:50Speaker 1: pull back my fan theory that the fans really dictate
- 35:53Speaker 1: and can change a game where it doesn't really look
- 35:56Speaker 1: that way. It looks like these teams are just as
- 35:58Speaker 1: fine running a silent snap. County are snapping it out
- 36:01Speaker 1: the line. So I know you're I know you're staying here, chat.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I do love taking home dogs. But we can't take
- 36:07Speaker 1: aby home dog, right we we we gotta fade some
- 36:09Speaker 1: of them. We can't take every home dog, but fading
- 36:12Speaker 1: like a near a home dog more than a touchdown,
- 36:17Speaker 1: no joke. I don't think we've ever done that. I
- 36:19Speaker 1: think like we we laugh at people who do that.
- 36:22Speaker 1: You're calling me a square This is a square play.
- 36:25Speaker 1: We deal with the Patriots against the Jets last year.
- 36:27Speaker 1: I believe that one b fuck you and your memory
- 36:32Speaker 1: right now, I should put a circle in a square
- 36:35Speaker 1: around Baltimore and added to our list of potential games
- 36:40Speaker 1: along with the Chargers plus six and a half and
- 36:43Speaker 1: the Jags plus seven and a half. That is a big,
- 36:47Speaker 1: big number to be taking for the Baltimore Ravens on
- 36:49Speaker 1: a short week on the road as more than a
- 36:52Speaker 1: touchdown favorite. We still have not gotten to the Simon
- 36:54Speaker 1: says that I'm very excited to see what that is.
- 36:58Speaker 1: By the way, the total in this game forty nine
- 37:00Speaker 1: and a half, over over over over lines. They can
- 37:05Speaker 1: actually put up some points. I know they kind of
- 37:07Speaker 1: spun their tires there. They only scored. They scored seventeen.
- 37:09Speaker 1: The first half and then zero in the second half.
- 37:12Speaker 1: They still look good moving the ball up and down
- 37:13Speaker 1: the field. I think golf still makes the right decision
- 37:16Speaker 1: around then. And we love Lamar against bad teams. The
- 37:18Speaker 1: guy just scres so many points. Love the matchup Cincinnati
- 37:23Speaker 1: Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers. So the Bengals are four and
- 37:28Speaker 1: a half point underdogs here, Steelers getting everything right now
- 37:32Speaker 1: again early, A lot of precincts to report, but Steelers
- 37:36Speaker 1: getting all the money, all the bets. This is my
- 37:38Speaker 1: signmon says play of the week. Oh God, Simon signs,
- 37:46Speaker 1: do it? We do what science says? Oh my god,
- 37:50Speaker 1: I was I was so afraid you were going to
- 37:52Speaker 1: say that. I am my God. Give your logic, give
- 37:58Speaker 1: me some data, give me something I can hang my
- 38:00Speaker 1: hat on, Give me a reason to believe. There's a
- 38:04Speaker 1: lot of trends that do go towards the Bengals side.
- 38:07Speaker 1: But the biggest, the biggest glaring thing to me is
- 38:09Speaker 1: just the injuries for the Steelers. Uh. They had a
- 38:11Speaker 1: couple of guys get here on the offensive line, TJ.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Watts hurt. They had another guy go down the defense,
- 38:17Speaker 1: I think Deante Johnson. The roar receiver got hurt as well.
- 38:21Speaker 1: This Bengal team is not that good. I'm with people,
- 38:24Speaker 1: but neither is Pittsburgh. That the offense has major issues.
- 38:27Speaker 1: And I've seen it with again, we talked all the time.
- 38:31Speaker 1: I thought the Bengals made a big mistake taking the
- 38:33Speaker 1: wide receiver over the offensive ligneman. He's been sacked nine
- 38:36Speaker 1: times now, Joe Burrow through two weeks. That is not good. Okay,
- 38:39Speaker 1: this guy's coming off major injury. Now he's been sacked
- 38:42Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. But what I did see
- 38:44Speaker 1: from him is that that never die attitude where this
- 38:46Speaker 1: kid's gonna keep slugging, He's gonna keep throwing. This offense
- 38:50Speaker 1: can move the ball, and I like it that they
- 38:52Speaker 1: can move the ball much better than this Pittsburgh tea
- 38:54Speaker 1: where Pittsburgh is kind of feeling like they're one dimensional.
- 38:56Speaker 1: They really depend on this run game and doing play
- 38:58Speaker 1: action pass off that run game. Bengals don't have that problem.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Joe bro can sling the ball up and down the
- 39:03Speaker 1: field with ease. So four and a half in a
- 39:06Speaker 1: divisional game when this number should just be three. I do.
- 39:10Speaker 1: I really like the Bengals here chat. So this this
- 39:12Speaker 1: for me is my my Simon says, player of the week.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Do you have a power rated at three? Yea at
- 39:18Speaker 1: a power rated three. What are the trends you've seen
- 39:21Speaker 1: that you like. I saw a trend that I really
- 39:25Speaker 1: like that was about teams that lost that are now
- 39:28Speaker 1: playing a road game, so it's back to back road games.
- 39:30Speaker 1: For the second game is the divisional game. So it
- 39:32Speaker 1: was something like that. I had to check that labs
- 39:34Speaker 1: again because I saw it um Monday morning, but I
- 39:37Speaker 1: might in fifty percent of the time and the divisional thing,
- 39:40Speaker 1: the team wins outright, and then it was like sixty
- 39:43Speaker 1: five percent time they cover. So this is one of
- 39:46Speaker 1: these do we just like taking the divisional road team
- 39:48Speaker 1: here because this nine should be a much smaller than
- 39:50Speaker 1: it is. But the public just saw since then I
- 39:52Speaker 1: lay a huge egg against the Bears and with Pittsburgh,
- 39:56Speaker 1: people still believe it. Like I, I kind of got
- 39:58Speaker 1: caught up in the hype as well, where it's like, man,
- 40:00Speaker 1: this defense, they're they're a real game changer. But with
- 40:03Speaker 1: all the injuries. I mean again, t J. Watt, that's
- 40:06Speaker 1: that's by far their best player on their team. He
- 40:08Speaker 1: was all over Josh Allen that Buffalo matchup without him,
- 40:12Speaker 1: without Buddy Pree who left for a different team. That's
- 40:14Speaker 1: just that's too much for the Pittsburgh overcome. Jesus Christ,
- 40:18Speaker 1: this makes me sick. When's what's this is when betting
- 40:31Speaker 1: is the grossest, It's just terrible. All right, We're heading
- 40:35Speaker 1: into a late afternoon games. First up, New York Jets
- 40:42Speaker 1: at Denver Broncos best in the league, Teddy covers Bridgewater.
- 40:49Speaker 1: The look aheadline on this just saying, folks, the look aheadline,
- 40:52Speaker 1: which is the line that was posted a couple of
- 40:54Speaker 1: weeks ago. It was five and a half. This line
- 40:57Speaker 1: is now ten and a half. God, I want to
- 40:59Speaker 1: take the Jets so bad, like so bad can we?
- 41:05Speaker 1: Luckily I made this line ten um, so the the
- 41:08Speaker 1: sharps have come in. They bed it down from eleven
- 41:10Speaker 1: and a half to ten and a half. Now I
- 41:11Speaker 1: don't need to touch it. I'll hopefully this can listen.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Number We'll get to ten so I can finally take
- 41:16Speaker 1: Denver and at worst case maybe get a Bush. But
- 41:19Speaker 1: everything points to Denver. Here Denvers d line alone, excuse
- 41:22Speaker 1: this game totally. Where the Jets have right now the
- 41:25Speaker 1: great out is the third worst old line Zach Wilson
- 41:29Speaker 1: just being put into the worst of the worst situation.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Someone was talking about why why didn't the Jets just
- 41:35Speaker 1: keep Donald and then drafted pieces around them? Okay, you
- 41:38Speaker 1: guys needed alignement, you need a wide receivers. There's so
- 41:41Speaker 1: many things lacking where no matter what rookie quarterback theyre
- 41:44Speaker 1: brought in there, they just haven't put them in the
- 41:47Speaker 1: best the best position to win. And this, this is
- 41:50Speaker 1: a very big number. But this again, this sing these
- 41:53Speaker 1: teams were mean you were gonna talk about taking Denver
- 41:54Speaker 1: for Survivor because this is a great, great opportunity their
- 41:58Speaker 1: first home game. Like ainst the Jets, I cannot see
- 42:02Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewall and Denver losing this game. So we we
- 42:06Speaker 1: will be on the number if he gets to tend.
- 42:07Speaker 1: But we will definitely be you know, this is probably
- 42:10Speaker 1: our top two we'll talk about for our Survivor picks. Yeah,
- 42:13Speaker 1: we're just gonna this will not be in the conversation
- 42:16Speaker 1: for our final five. No, it's too big, too big.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiders. The Miami Dolphins, who
- 42:25Speaker 1: have broken our heart are four point dogs. I'm incredibly
- 42:30Speaker 1: disenchanted by this team, right now, really, I love Miami here,
- 42:34Speaker 1: I need help chat. I know, I know, we don't
- 42:37Speaker 1: even know if he's going to be playing quarterback for them.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Who's gonna be paying for the Las Vegas Raiders their car?
- 42:44Speaker 1: This he might be actually hurt. And I jumped on
- 42:46Speaker 1: this a four and a half just for that exact reason.
- 42:48Speaker 1: I took the money line as well from Miami. He
- 42:51Speaker 1: might be pretty banged up and they might not be
- 42:52Speaker 1: letting onto how serious his injury is. Jacoby were set.
- 42:56Speaker 1: He's healthy. I mean, he's not good for Miami, but
- 42:58Speaker 1: he is healthy. Um, ugly, ugly game. I know I'm
- 43:03Speaker 1: gonna have a hard time commits you to put this
- 43:04Speaker 1: in our five. But this is a classic overreaction. Miami
- 43:08Speaker 1: is not as bad as they looked against Buffalo. Um,
- 43:10Speaker 1: everything just went wrong in that game. Las Vegas isn't
- 43:14Speaker 1: as good as people think they are. Are we sure
- 43:16Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is really that good? Or they just get lucky
- 43:18Speaker 1: against Buffalo and they had a block punt and Josh
- 43:20Speaker 1: Allen just couldn't figure it out a lot. It's it's
- 43:23Speaker 1: just a big kind of um, not that egg on
- 43:27Speaker 1: my face, but this is like a this is truly
- 43:29Speaker 1: a PROS game. No, no one else is betting Miami
- 43:32Speaker 1: unless they're a professional better. No, no one that watched
- 43:34Speaker 1: football last week is gonna say themselves, Oh no, this
- 43:37Speaker 1: is the time to take Miami against Las Vegas. Like
- 43:40Speaker 1: Las Vegas people, this is you've you've heard the hype.
- 43:42Speaker 1: People are really starting to get all in on this
- 43:44Speaker 1: Las Vegas team now that they're doing a I have
- 43:47Speaker 1: to stick the numbers, and I made this number three.
- 43:50Speaker 1: I leaned towards three and a half. If it's per set,
- 43:52Speaker 1: that's like the scary part. There's not that much of
- 43:54Speaker 1: a drop off between him and tua Um, but it's
- 43:58Speaker 1: it's just too much overvalue with the Las Vegas team.
- 44:01Speaker 1: They they are a very good, well oiled team, but
- 44:05Speaker 1: are they that good that this Miami defense, which we
- 44:08Speaker 1: talked about their strength, is that secondary. Going against a
- 44:11Speaker 1: team that their strength is their passing offense, it usually
- 44:14Speaker 1: favorites towards that um towards that team with Miami. So
- 44:18Speaker 1: I will wait and see what this one chat. I
- 44:20Speaker 1: won't make you make a decision right now, but we
- 44:23Speaker 1: like this a lot of four or four and a
- 44:24Speaker 1: half with Miami. Simon says, absolutely bet the Bengals, and
- 44:30Speaker 1: then he comes back and says, Hey, by the way,
- 44:33Speaker 1: I also think I want you to take the quarterback
- 44:36Speaker 1: list Miami Dolphins who basically got shut out against the
- 44:40Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills at home. You want me to take them
- 44:44Speaker 1: on the road at Las Vegas. As I think about it,
- 44:49Speaker 1: couldn't make more sense. I'm not a buyer on the Raiders.
- 44:51Speaker 1: I I haven't been impressed, Like I don't love them
- 44:55Speaker 1: as a as a I haven't been impressed with how
- 44:59Speaker 1: the Raiders are coached. Gruden usually falls apart the second
- 45:02Speaker 1: half of the season, so it might be we might
- 45:04Speaker 1: be a little too early to the party, be trying
- 45:06Speaker 1: to fade him. Um, but man, have we seen it
- 45:09Speaker 1: his is I think it's the last three years he's
- 45:11Speaker 1: coached them, they have just fallen apart in the second
- 45:13Speaker 1: half of the season. That's why I'm still fine with
- 45:16Speaker 1: thinking that. You know, our our our biggest Derrick Car
- 45:19Speaker 1: investment was we we made staking LEAs bet then when
- 45:22Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because we thought Watson was going there.
- 45:25Speaker 1: But then we like, we like Car coming to the year.
- 45:27Speaker 1: We bet him for his over of yards and I
- 45:29Speaker 1: think he's like up a hundred right now and the
- 45:30Speaker 1: closest guy in yards past this season. So we we
- 45:34Speaker 1: are we are fans of Las Vegas Raiders, but in
- 45:36Speaker 1: this game, this matchup, this is too big of a
- 45:39Speaker 1: number for a team like this, so we we will
- 45:41Speaker 1: will be on them. What do you have up? Like
- 45:44Speaker 1: I said, I headed at three when it was to
- 45:46Speaker 1: h and then moved up to three and a half
- 45:47Speaker 1: when it came out. That's probably be brus set um
- 45:50Speaker 1: because I think two has bruised lungs or something like
- 45:52Speaker 1: that brew rib cage. So it's uh, it's not looking
- 45:55Speaker 1: good for two of playing in this game. This next game,
- 45:58Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneer at Los Angeles Rams. This game opened
- 46:03Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers is one point underdogs. It was a
- 46:07Speaker 1: big to do in the sports betting world. The Buccaneers
- 46:10Speaker 1: are now one point in favorites. So much fun. This
- 46:13Speaker 1: is by far the most fun game of the year. Right, Yes,
- 46:16Speaker 1: this is the best best matchup. The two most hyped
- 46:19Speaker 1: up teams right now in the NFC are the Rams
- 46:22Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers for good reason. Um wow, that's that's
- 46:26Speaker 1: surprising it's moved that much Because I was gonna say
- 46:28Speaker 1: my favorite stat, Tom Brady, I think He's and twelve
- 46:31Speaker 1: as an underdog against the spread. I love that. Uh,
- 46:35Speaker 1: you know we're doing here, Chad. We gotta take the
- 46:37Speaker 1: Rams home dog. Public's coming in. Have you on the
- 46:41Speaker 1: Buccaneers the same reason I like Atlanta last week? There
- 46:44Speaker 1: there's a lot of holes and weaknesses on this Buccaneers
- 46:47Speaker 1: team in that secondary. They've just been banged up in
- 46:49Speaker 1: that position. It's just bad luck right now. So the
- 46:53Speaker 1: run scheme, the past scheme that the Rams are gonna
- 46:55Speaker 1: do against our front line of the Buccaneers will make
- 46:58Speaker 1: the big difference. But the big swin Stafford. I just
- 47:01Speaker 1: have faith in Stafford. With Cooper Cup, with Robert woods Man,
- 47:06Speaker 1: they just look like a well older machine right now
- 47:07Speaker 1: with the Rams. And that last week that was a
- 47:09Speaker 1: trap game. They should have lost that game. If that
- 47:11Speaker 1: was Jared Golf, they would have lost that game, no
- 47:12Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. But we've seen Stafford us a
- 47:15Speaker 1: difference maker for this team right now. So we know
- 47:18Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are gonna aren't going undefeated. They just aren't.
- 47:21Speaker 1: Last year they were the fifth seed for good reason.
- 47:23Speaker 1: They just dropped games every now and then it feels
- 47:25Speaker 1: the game they're gonna drop and the fact the public's
- 47:27Speaker 1: come in so heavy on them. It's even more of reasons.
- 47:30Speaker 1: I really like the Rams here. So I won't make
- 47:33Speaker 1: you say right now, Chad, but you know you like
- 47:36Speaker 1: this for one of our five. This is just again
- 47:39Speaker 1: a pros versus show's game. The pros are all gonna
- 47:41Speaker 1: be on the Rams here, So I won't make you
- 47:43Speaker 1: make decision now, but come Thursday, I'm probably gonna make
- 47:46Speaker 1: you make one. I don't actually mind this one, You
- 47:49Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, look, I'm not a believer in Stafford,
- 47:52Speaker 1: yet I think he still makes bad decisions, and I
- 47:55Speaker 1: think that there will be a thrower to no matter
- 47:59Speaker 1: how bad the Bucks set. And there is where Stafford
- 48:01Speaker 1: sort of forgets the context of the game. I still
- 48:05Speaker 1: think getting the Rams, who are a solid team all
- 48:07Speaker 1: the way around and have a great pass rusher and
- 48:10Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and a great all world defensive back in
- 48:14Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, this is this is a good play as
- 48:17Speaker 1: an underdog, and it might even go higher. It could
- 48:19Speaker 1: get to one and a half. You don't know, I
- 48:21Speaker 1: like this play. Let's let's uh, let's put on your
- 48:24Speaker 1: list that as one of our guaranteed five. I've boxed it.
- 48:28Speaker 1: I don't know guaranteed, but I've definitely boxed it. Um
- 48:31Speaker 1: totals fifty five. That's a big lean towards the over.
- 48:35Speaker 1: But I won't make a play on this most like
- 48:37Speaker 1: that's that's that's a little rich from my Seattle Seahawks
- 48:41Speaker 1: at Minnesota Vikings. I gotta say it, Minnesota Vikings. The
- 48:52Speaker 1: Seahawks are one and a half two point favorites. The
- 48:56Speaker 1: Vikings as a home fields juicy and delicious. I would
- 49:05Speaker 1: love to call a free money, but it's Kirk Cousins,
- 49:06Speaker 1: so I had to be careful with what I say.
- 49:09Speaker 1: But it is the right side. You bet this every
- 49:11Speaker 1: time people, every time we have Minnesota coming off two
- 49:16Speaker 1: games on the road, they are so incredibly better against
- 49:20Speaker 1: the spread at home under Zimmer everything the defense always
- 49:24Speaker 1: plays better, the offense always plays better. That place is
- 49:27Speaker 1: going to be allowed. Love it, love it, love it,
- 49:30Speaker 1: love it. Um. I get white. People have been Seattle.
- 49:32Speaker 1: You expect Seattle bounce back after that embarrassing loss. I
- 49:35Speaker 1: think they were like uh fift oh or something crazy
- 49:39Speaker 1: like that. In Seattle when they have a fourteen point
- 49:41Speaker 1: lead or fifteen point lead late in the fourth, I'm
- 49:44Speaker 1: gonna fade that bounce back. I think Minnesota actually bounce
- 49:46Speaker 1: back after that missfield goal, or we could be completely
- 49:48Speaker 1: wrong in Minnesota's season is completely tanked because of that
- 49:51Speaker 1: missfield goal, like their team just given up. But we
- 49:54Speaker 1: have to take Minnesota at home their first game at home.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Under Zimmer. You always take Minnesota at home in this position.
- 50:00Speaker 1: So I love, love this one chat. I'm really hoping
- 50:03Speaker 1: it gets two and a half. It's the public is
- 50:05Speaker 1: gonna be coming in very heavy on the Seahawks in
- 50:07Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, it's all it's all Seattle money in
- 50:11Speaker 1: best right now and again very early in the week,
- 50:14Speaker 1: all priestincts not reporting. But this will be a game
- 50:16Speaker 1: come Thursday, when the money and the bets start to
- 50:19Speaker 1: round out a little bit, the numbers coming around the shape,
- 50:21Speaker 1: we are going to be looking at the vikings because
- 50:25Speaker 1: you know why, uh, Green Bay Packers at San Francisco
- 50:33Speaker 1: forty Niners. Right now, the spread in this game Packers
- 50:37Speaker 1: plus three and a half. We are getting a lot
- 50:39Speaker 1: of comments on the Twitter sphere about our lack of
- 50:44Speaker 1: willingness to back the Niners. Really, people, because this is
- 50:46Speaker 1: my big balls better the week, Big balls Better the
- 50:51Speaker 1: Week Oh man, what is it? Love love, love the
- 50:58Speaker 1: fots in this position, congratitating Rodgers had a big win
- 51:02Speaker 1: on Monday night. Everyone's feeling good, everyone's all happy having
- 51:06Speaker 1: fun with him on Twitter. No, this is this is
- 51:09Speaker 1: when you fade Aaron Rodgers after that kind of win.
- 51:12Speaker 1: I don't like people talked about how you can't win
- 51:14Speaker 1: in Florida. This dude cannot win in California, let alone
- 51:17Speaker 1: against the fourty Niners. He never plays well against the
- 51:20Speaker 1: fourty Niners. We love Kyle Shanon's run block scheme against
- 51:23Speaker 1: this Green Bay's defense, who cannot stop the run? Even
- 51:27Speaker 1: Detroit is running all over them. Man again forty They
- 51:32Speaker 1: escaped one last week against Eagles. They they definitely should
- 51:35Speaker 1: have lost that game, but it was all because I
- 51:37Speaker 1: felt like this was a good look ahead spot for them,
- 51:39Speaker 1: and turned out the Eagles were looking at towards Dallas
- 51:42Speaker 1: because that was like you scored three points at home
- 51:45Speaker 1: late into the fourth quarter, where the Eagles did That's embarrassing.
- 51:48Speaker 1: This is the other way. Four Niners they did what
- 51:50Speaker 1: they had to do win that game. Now, I mean,
- 51:54Speaker 1: people are gonna be going crazy thinking themselves, Wow, I'm
- 51:56Speaker 1: getting Aaron Rodgers plus three and a half on the
- 51:59Speaker 1: road here, it's it's sometimes it feels a little too easy,
- 52:02Speaker 1: like the sports books do the work for us, and
- 52:04Speaker 1: that's and this instinct feels like that way where you're
- 52:06Speaker 1: you're getting a good number and the pub is coming
- 52:08Speaker 1: in very heavy on Green Bay as long as it
- 52:10Speaker 1: stays under four with the forty nine ers. So if
- 52:13Speaker 1: things went up to minus four, I would still take it,
- 52:15Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be put in the our best five picks.
- 52:18Speaker 1: This stays a three and a half or goes down
- 52:19Speaker 1: to three, you can guarantee this will be one of
- 52:22Speaker 1: me and Chad's best five picks. Well right now, you're right,
- 52:25Speaker 1: I mean again, so early, all of that's all the
- 52:27Speaker 1: money coming in on the Packers. In fact, we've got
- 52:31Speaker 1: a line change. Line change back to the old days
- 52:35Speaker 1: with Scooch. I'm what I'm looking at the board in
- 52:37Speaker 1: action network dot com and it tracks everything. I'm looking
- 52:41Speaker 1: at the public betting page on Action network dot com.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Everyone should check it out because it tells me in
- 52:47Speaker 1: real time when lines change. And so literally, as we
- 52:52Speaker 1: were talking, the price on the Packers at plus three
- 52:55Speaker 1: and a half changed, meaning that it's headed to words
- 53:00Speaker 1: going to minus three, So that's really interesting. I love
- 53:04Speaker 1: this number and I love this game. It's not that
- 53:07Speaker 1: I am saying this is like one of my favorite
- 53:09Speaker 1: bets of the weekend, but it's one of the few
- 53:11Speaker 1: times where I'm been a favorite. I'm feeling really confident
- 53:13Speaker 1: about that favorite that it's it's too too much slanted
- 53:17Speaker 1: towards the other side. Where Green Bay they I think
- 53:19Speaker 1: they had major issues, Like they were literally down seventeen
- 53:22Speaker 1: to fourteen to that Lions team who we don't think
- 53:24Speaker 1: is that good. So it's too it's gonna be too
- 53:27Speaker 1: much for them overcoming the situation. We've loved the last
- 53:31Speaker 1: four games. We love Miami plus four. We love the
- 53:33Speaker 1: Rams plus one. We love the Fikes plus two. We
- 53:35Speaker 1: like the Niners minus three and a half. Not to
- 53:37Speaker 1: mention we already like the Jacks plus seven and a half,
- 53:39Speaker 1: the Chargers plus six and a half, the Bengals plus
- 53:42Speaker 1: four and a half was a Simon says Baltimore plus
- 53:45Speaker 1: minus seven and a half. I mean, Jesus Christ, Simon,
- 53:47Speaker 1: We're all over the fucking board here. Last I make
- 53:50Speaker 1: a lot of bets man earlier in the week. It's
- 53:51Speaker 1: what I do that's what we do. It's what we do,
- 53:57Speaker 1: and now a word from our friends at FanDuel. The

- 55:52Speaker 1: Let's get back to the show. Last game on the board,
- 55:56Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys Monday Night. You just said
- 56:01Speaker 1: the Eagles were looking ahead potentially in that Niners game.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Four point dogs on the road. I gotta take the
- 56:07Speaker 1: egos here, uh coin flip game. Eagles are as bad
- 56:10Speaker 1: as they looked in that game. The the you know
- 56:14Speaker 1: hurt how to touchdowns a deep ball the guy gone
- 56:16Speaker 1: out of balance and caught it. Had another deep where
- 56:18Speaker 1: the guy took it all way down, he got tackled
- 56:20Speaker 1: like five or the six, and they couldn't put it
- 56:21Speaker 1: four tries in from the one and scoring that drive.
- 56:26Speaker 1: I I will admit it, I was too down on
- 56:29Speaker 1: this Dallas Dallas defense coming of the year. Um that
- 56:32Speaker 1: it seems like they have made the right adjustments with
- 56:35Speaker 1: Gus Bradley, He's he's coming and really reshape the Stallas defense.
- 56:39Speaker 1: I also don't want to give him too much credit.
- 56:41Speaker 1: Um the Charges kind of laid an egg in that game.
- 56:43Speaker 1: So I like this with the Eagles will always kind
- 56:46Speaker 1: of being in this matchup and always being in this game,
- 56:48Speaker 1: especially effect they're on the road now after a really
- 56:51Speaker 1: tough loss like that. It's kind of not the perfect
- 56:55Speaker 1: situation for the Eagles to be in, but it is
- 56:57Speaker 1: because now this is like, you know, a must win
- 57:00Speaker 1: aim for this team against someone I expect them to
- 57:03Speaker 1: compete against in the divisional race here, So it's gonna
- 57:06Speaker 1: it's up to four and out a lot of books
- 57:08Speaker 1: with the Eagles. You take that number and a divisional matchup,
- 57:11Speaker 1: and I would wait on it. I think you could
- 57:14Speaker 1: actually get this up to four and a half because
- 57:16Speaker 1: the public will keep coming on Dallas, especially after that
- 57:18Speaker 1: big win last week for them. The Dallas fan base,
- 57:21Speaker 1: they love to bet on their team, so you might
- 57:24Speaker 1: be able to get a better number in the public
- 57:25Speaker 1: just keeps coming on the Cowboys here. But I need
- 57:27Speaker 1: to see more from this Eagos team before I can
- 57:29Speaker 1: make an opinion on it, So I'm good with taking
- 57:31Speaker 1: the egos by would not put this is my favorite five.
- 57:33Speaker 1: I probably would stay away from this one. Yeah, alright.
- 57:37Speaker 1: To review big balls bet of the week, we're going
- 57:41Speaker 1: with the Niners minus three and a half. The Simon
- 57:44Speaker 1: says that is the Bengals plus four and a half
- 57:48Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers. We've narrowed down our early bets
- 57:52Speaker 1: list that we will discuss on Thursday, and we know
- 57:54Speaker 1: it down even more. Chargers at the Chiefs plus six
- 57:58Speaker 1: and a half the Jazz Aggs, which is gross plus
- 58:01Speaker 1: seven and a half at home against Arizona Baltimore at Detroit.
- 58:06Speaker 1: Then we gotta run in the late games. We gotta run.
- 58:09Speaker 1: Miami plus four and a half at Las Vegas Rams
- 58:12Speaker 1: plus one at home against the Box Vikes, plus two
- 58:16Speaker 1: at home against the Seahawks. Niners minus three and a
- 58:18Speaker 1: half at home against the Packers. Will review all this
- 58:20Speaker 1: on Thursday. Let me read you a review. This is
- 58:24Speaker 1: from help Me. I'm broke, and it's like this person
- 58:27Speaker 1: reached into my soul and said the meanest thing that
- 58:29Speaker 1: could possibly say. Five star review titled Chad is like Mattnege.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Chad disagreeing with Simon, who was the professional NFL better
- 58:37Speaker 1: on picks like Denver minus three is just like Mattnege
- 58:41Speaker 1: thinking Andy Dalton gives the Bears a better chance to
- 58:43Speaker 1: win over Justin Fields. Thankfully, most listeners are not like
- 58:47Speaker 1: Chad and Mattnege. We listened to the professional better. Matt
- 58:52Speaker 1: Mitchell slacked that to me in you last night. My
- 58:55Speaker 1: only comment was, this is the most hurtful thing anyone
- 58:57Speaker 1: who has ever said to me, any response to a
- 59:00Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell Simon. All these reviewers I was reading through
- 59:03Speaker 1: a bunch of them, They're just hilarious on these people.
- 59:05Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, Chad that the truth does hurt a
- 59:08Speaker 1: little bit. I'm not fucking mattni again. I'm not to
- 59:10Speaker 1: cover my ask coach. Okay, I go big risk. Nobody
- 59:14Speaker 1: can say I don't go big risk. And I'll remind
- 59:16Speaker 1: you that the most shruitful comments I've ever read is
- 59:19Speaker 1: when that guy called me the Cliff Kingsbury a podcast producers.
- 59:22Speaker 1: Words can hurt too, listeners. That's right, Words can hurt.
- 59:26Speaker 1: Comparisons to coaches that we can't stand can really hurt.
- 59:29Speaker 1: All Right, I think we've done it all. We'll be
- 59:31Speaker 1: back on Thursday. We will narrow down our pics. We
- 59:34Speaker 1: will talk about our survivor until Thursday. For Simon Hunter,
- 59:39Speaker 1: I am Chad Mewman. This has been the favorite podcast.
- 59:42Speaker 1: Download us from Apple Podcast, download us from Spotify, wherever
- 59:46Speaker 1: you can get your podcasts. Until Thursday. I love you
