- 0:01Speaker 1: Yep. Inside I want to kill myself. We are on
- 0:06Speaker 1: OWN seven run over the last two days after tonight
- 0:08Speaker 1: it was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna
- 0:12Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
- 0:15Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you above that I
- 0:18Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
- 0:20Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing, two
- 0:25Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four
- 0:28Speaker 1: that have not had a good season. Man with wookends
- 0:34Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues. I've
- 0:37Speaker 1: reached into peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my browins
- 0:42Speaker 1: hat Man, I don't know what is going on with
- 0:44Speaker 1: the Bruins arch hape? Is that what it is? I
- 0:47Speaker 1: don't even know it's It's March ninth, I think who
- 0:50Speaker 1: even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
- 0:53Speaker 1: But I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
- 0:55Speaker 1: back with you after the worst day that I could
- 0:59Speaker 1: possibly have with you, as I always am until I
- 1:03Speaker 1: die at least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday it
- 1:07Speaker 1: did not go well for me. Own five the worst
- 1:10Speaker 1: month that I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: To the slumperies, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues. Somebody
- 1:21Speaker 1: fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what I
- 1:25Speaker 1: should do at this point, other than potentially end it all.
- 1:33Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody's towed back with you? Toadstool Sports. Maybe
- 1:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna change the name of this to toad Stronamus.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I don't know yet, not after today, which I'll talk
- 1:43Speaker 1: about how bad today was tomorrow. I mean, it wasn't
- 1:46Speaker 1: that bad, but it certainly was bad enough. It wasn't good.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Uh College Football Championship action was good for me though,
- 1:53Speaker 1: so two and oh there, So yay, I guess even
- 1:57Speaker 1: though I predicted some of the other games wrong. This
- 2:00Speaker 1: this is the NFL show, though, So we're gonna try
- 2:01Speaker 1: to continue the hot streak in the NFL. Hopefully we can.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen. I don't love
- 2:08Speaker 1: this board man. The more that I broke it down,
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I just we'll get into it. Obviously.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what I usually do. We have fewer
- 2:17Speaker 1: games this week, too. There are a lot of teams
- 2:18Speaker 1: on buy this week. This is the last week of byes,
- 2:21Speaker 1: so next week onward, we're not gonna have any more buys,
- 2:25Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a little bit of a longer show.
- 2:27Speaker 1: But this week we have fewer games to break down.
- 2:30Speaker 1: We're already one to oh this week with the Detroit
- 2:33Speaker 1: Lions on Thursday. So mister Thursday Night continues to come
- 2:37Speaker 1: through there on one am I now eleven two and
- 2:41Speaker 1: one I think on Thursday nights and either three and
- 2:44Speaker 1: one or four and one on the actual plays of
- 2:46Speaker 1: going out on Thursday. So that's good, mister Pinsey, what's
- 2:51Speaker 1: up man? Thanks for hanging out double down in Indiana.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I'm all right. I mean when they were down ten
- 2:59Speaker 1: to there was more money line. You have to get
- 3:01Speaker 1: more of that live betting action. I guess I don't
- 3:05Speaker 1: like to do that. I just let it go, like
- 3:07Speaker 1: I just let the main play role. But yeah, saw Charles,
- 3:12Speaker 1: what's going on here? Like Toads still sports better? All right?
- 3:15Speaker 1: I mean it is still kind of a dig at
- 3:17Speaker 1: Dave port noise. So all right, let's get into it.
- 3:20Speaker 1: This this board is this is awful, dude, Like I'm
- 3:23Speaker 1: gonna have two plays and I'm not sure how much
- 3:25Speaker 1: I love them, to be honest, trying to be selective here,
- 3:30Speaker 1: I thought I might wind up with one play which
- 3:32Speaker 1: would be even more boring. But we're gonna get straight
- 3:35Speaker 1: into it, man. I'm gonna skip Redskins Vikings because that
- 3:39Speaker 1: is gonna be what I think is the best play
- 3:41Speaker 1: tomorrow in that game. Yeah, I mean, you're not gonna
- 3:45Speaker 1: like this. This is gonna be ugly, man. But speaking
- 3:49Speaker 1: of ugly, I mean, look at these next two games
- 3:51Speaker 1: in the one PM slate Dolphins and Jets. Are you
- 3:54Speaker 1: kidding me with this? The Dolphins are down from three
- 3:57Speaker 1: point favorite to a two and a half point favorite,
- 3:59Speaker 1: but they have fifty percent of the tickets. It's seventy
- 4:01Speaker 1: two percent of the cash on them, so the money
- 4:04Speaker 1: looks like it's coming in on the Dolphins. But let's
- 4:07Speaker 1: think about this for a minute, though. The Dolphins and
- 4:10Speaker 1: the Jets already played once, right. They played in Miami
- 4:13Speaker 1: on a Monday night game earlier this year, and the
- 4:16Speaker 1: Dolphins at home were like three point favorites, So how
- 4:19Speaker 1: could they possibly be a three point favorite on the
- 4:23Speaker 1: road this time? Like, the line seems totally out of whack.
- 4:26Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense, Like, and there weren't any
- 4:29Speaker 1: injuries in that game. I don't think right were there?
- 4:31Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember, And I know the Jets actually
- 4:33Speaker 1: outplayed them in the game. And the Jets basically lost
- 4:36Speaker 1: this game because the turnovers, Like I remember enough of
- 4:39Speaker 1: this game. Of course it was justin fields, but there's
- 4:43Speaker 1: not gonna be that much of a drop off from
- 4:46Speaker 1: fields to Tyrod Taylor. I mean, Tyrod Taylor has been
- 4:48Speaker 1: playing the last couple of weeks. Now Tua played in
- 4:50Speaker 1: this game, So like, what's the deal here? I know
- 4:53Speaker 1: ESPN doesn't show the lines anymore, at least for now.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Hopefully they bring that back. But I think I have
- 4:59Speaker 1: a good memory my autism here. I'm pretty sure that
- 5:01Speaker 1: the Dolphins were two and a half three at home here,
- 5:05Speaker 1: now they're three on the road. Like, the line just
- 5:08Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. So to me, it seems like
- 5:10Speaker 1: the line value is on the Jets, but the money
- 5:12Speaker 1: is coming in on the Dolphins. I mean, I don't
- 5:15Speaker 1: think the Dolphins are worthy of laying points on the
- 5:17Speaker 1: road basically against anybody though, so again, line value wise,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I would be looking to take the Jets here, but Situationally,
- 5:24Speaker 1: I don't really love it. I mean, Miami did come
- 5:26Speaker 1: off a pretty bad game really against the Saints last week.
- 5:30Speaker 1: It was actually a little bit better than the final
- 5:32Speaker 1: score looked, I guess because the Saints back door that cover.
- 5:36Speaker 1: We love the back door action there. This game. It
- 5:41Speaker 1: was close statistically though, so I mean not really a
- 5:43Speaker 1: misleading final at least I got my lean correct in
- 5:48Speaker 1: that game. But yeah, Miami's coming off an ugly game
- 5:50Speaker 1: against New Orleans here now they're going to play the Jets.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I mean it looks like maybe a spot where they'll
- 5:55Speaker 1: play better. Whereas the Jets actually pulled off a nice
- 5:59Speaker 1: small home upset win, which I was also correct about
- 6:02Speaker 1: that game. Got a little bit lucky maybe on that one.
- 6:06Speaker 1: The Jets pulled that win out of their ass at
- 6:08Speaker 1: the end of the game. Jets definitely got outgained in
- 6:12Speaker 1: this game. So I think that's probably what the betters
- 6:14Speaker 1: are seeing and why the money is on Miami, I
- 6:16Speaker 1: guess in the spot where Yeah, I mean the Jets
- 6:20Speaker 1: definitely got destroyed statistically in this game, they somehow won
- 6:24Speaker 1: the game anyway, So based on last week's results, Miami
- 6:28Speaker 1: being the right way to look make sense in this game.
- 6:30Speaker 1: But I don't think the line makes sense. And we're
- 6:33Speaker 1: also talking about Miami going up into cold temperatures. Remember,
- 6:37Speaker 1: so this is the time of year where you got
- 6:39Speaker 1: to look at the weather. It's not gonna be that bad.
- 6:41Speaker 1: I guess at forty three, so it's not gonna be freezing,
- 6:44Speaker 1: So that's a little bit better. But Miami and Tua,
- 6:47Speaker 1: they notoriously, they do not do well in colder weather.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Like I think Tua is like owned seven in freezing
- 6:54Speaker 1: temperatures or something like that, although lucky for him, it's
- 6:56Speaker 1: not gonna be freezing here. But I just don't know
- 6:59Speaker 1: what to do with this game, dude, Like the money
- 7:02Speaker 1: looks like it's coming in on the Dolphins, and Final
- 7:05Speaker 1: Market Read is kind of saying the Dolphins, Well, we'll
- 7:07Speaker 1: see what happens tomorrow, because I'll talk about the final
- 7:09Speaker 1: market read against tomorrow morning. I mean, I kind of
- 7:12Speaker 1: lean towards taking the Jets at plus three, but I
- 7:15Speaker 1: don't love it at all, man, So for now that'll
- 7:18Speaker 1: be my lean, I guess, but that one is one
- 7:20Speaker 1: of my weakest opinions. I might change it. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 1: the back door action pulling it out of your ass
- 7:27Speaker 1: Titans Browns. This this might be the worst game of
- 7:31Speaker 1: all time, dude, Like, you've got to be kidding me
- 7:33Speaker 1: with this matchup here, look at the total in this game,
- 7:37Speaker 1: thirty four. It looks like money's coming in on the
- 7:40Speaker 1: over here. I think it was as low as thirty
- 7:42Speaker 1: three and a half. But to me, I actually think
- 7:44Speaker 1: that total is justified. I mean, where are the points
- 7:47Speaker 1: gonna come from? This game? It's cam Ward against shar Sanders, Like,
- 7:52Speaker 1: are you like you have to be kidding me. These
- 7:54Speaker 1: offenses are both awful, unbelievably bad. And yes, obviously the
- 7:58Speaker 1: Browns have the better defense and that's why they're favored here,
- 8:01Speaker 1: other than the fact that they're at home. But to
- 8:03Speaker 1: the Browns, really, like with the the Browns with should
- 8:06Speaker 1: Earl Sanders, should they be laying three and a half
- 8:09Speaker 1: against anybody with a total of thirty four? I kind
- 8:13Speaker 1: of don't think so, Like I would lean towards taking
- 8:15Speaker 1: the points with the Titans here eighty three percent of
- 8:18Speaker 1: the tickets, only sixty seven percent of the catch Like,
- 8:21Speaker 1: why are the Browns public? Like you have to be
- 8:23Speaker 1: kidding me. The I mean, it's because nobody wants the Titans.
- 8:26Speaker 1: But seeing the Browns as a public favorite is just
- 8:29Speaker 1: unbelievably absurd to me. Man, Like, I don't think the
- 8:33Speaker 1: Browns should be favored by more than a field goal
- 8:35Speaker 1: really against anybody, like maybe not even the Raiders, to
- 8:38Speaker 1: be honest, I don't know, but I would take the
- 8:41Speaker 1: points in this one. Like this is a game where
- 8:43Speaker 1: like if either team gets to seventeen, they might win
- 8:46Speaker 1: the game. So it's like, I mean, this game, it's
- 8:50Speaker 1: gonna be real ugly, Like it shouldn't even be televised.
- 8:54Speaker 1: It's gonna be real bad. But yeah, I would lean
- 8:57Speaker 1: towards taking the points in that one. Steelers Ravens kind
- 9:02Speaker 1: of an interesting when the Ravens are now from six
- 9:04Speaker 1: and a half point favorite to a five and a
- 9:06Speaker 1: half point favorite at home. Here, there is kind of
- 9:09Speaker 1: a lot going on in this game. Both teams are
- 9:12Speaker 1: coming off looking pretty bad. Last week, Steelers basically didn't
- 9:17Speaker 1: even score against the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers got wrecked
- 9:21Speaker 1: by the Bills last week. I can bring up the
- 9:23Speaker 1: schedule like I usually do here. So I predicted that game, right,
- 9:27Speaker 1: I mean, that was the return from injury for Aaron
- 9:31Speaker 1: Rodgers though, So I always talk about how the reverse
- 9:34Speaker 1: injured player spot comes in, and sometimes the quarterback won't
- 9:38Speaker 1: do well, like Rodgers definitely did not do well in
- 9:40Speaker 1: that game. Steelers are all out of sorts and sometimes
- 9:44Speaker 1: that happens, you know, when the team has their star
- 9:46Speaker 1: player coming back, they just don't play well in that
- 9:49Speaker 1: first game back. Usually the next game back they do
- 9:51Speaker 1: play better. So the second game off the injured player,
- 9:54Speaker 1: the reverse injured player there, I do expect a better
- 9:57Speaker 1: performance out of the Steelers. I mean, this game was ridiculous,
- 10:01Speaker 1: Like the crowd was chanting like fire Tomlin. The crowd
- 10:06Speaker 1: is getting very, very restless in Pittsburgh here, even though
- 10:09Speaker 1: there's six and six. Usually Pittsburgh and Baltimore are wars.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Usually it's close, but the gap is widening over the
- 10:19Speaker 1: last couple of years and where Baltimore is the better
- 10:22Speaker 1: team at Baltimore was able to win by margin once
- 10:25Speaker 1: last year, but it was in the playoffs. And now
- 10:27Speaker 1: you do know that this is the first time they're
- 10:29Speaker 1: playing this year, and it is playoff revenge for Pittsburgh
- 10:33Speaker 1: here because they don't play again until the final week
- 10:34Speaker 1: of the season. Those are their two matchups here this year,
- 10:37Speaker 1: so that is a little bit of a factor. You know,
- 10:40Speaker 1: Pittsburgh remembers they got eliminated from the playoffs in this
- 10:43Speaker 1: exact stadium last year at Baltimore. So maybe a little
- 10:46Speaker 1: bit of extra motivation from the Pittsburgh side here. But
- 10:50Speaker 1: for the Baltimore side, they do have extra rest and
- 10:52Speaker 1: they're coming off a terrible performance as well against Cincinnati,
- 10:56Speaker 1: and that was a loss for us on the show.
- 10:58Speaker 1: The only loss last week with the play is Lamar Jackson.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I'm worried, man. Like normally I would say, yeah, Baltimore's
- 11:05Speaker 1: gonna bounce back from that because they have extra time off.
- 11:08Speaker 1: And that was a horrendous loss, Like that was the
- 11:10Speaker 1: worst loss than Pittsburgh. Like Pittsburgh lost as an underdog
- 11:14Speaker 1: at home, Okay, Baltimore loss is a huge favorite at home.
- 11:18Speaker 1: That is like more unacceptable, let's say, And they have
- 11:22Speaker 1: extra time off, so you gotta think Baltimore's work and
- 11:24Speaker 1: I'm fixing some things. The issue that I might have
- 11:26Speaker 1: with it is is Lamar Jackson actually healthy. I don't know,
- 11:29Speaker 1: because he was. He was horrible in this game. Dude,
- 11:32Speaker 1: I'm wondering if he's injured. I don't know. I mean,
- 11:35Speaker 1: I guess if he was really that injured, maybe they
- 11:36Speaker 1: wouldn't play him. But this game also it was not
- 11:39Speaker 1: what it looked like on the scoreboard though. I mean,
- 11:41Speaker 1: Baltimore had five turnovers, minus four and turnovers. You're not
- 11:45Speaker 1: gonna win the game and you're minus four and turnovers,
- 11:47Speaker 1: So I think there was more room to progress back
- 11:50Speaker 1: to some sort of mean here for Baltimore. So I've
- 11:53Speaker 1: been going back and forth on this game all week. Man,
- 11:55Speaker 1: My gut instinct was laid the points with Baltimore in
- 11:59Speaker 1: this game, with the extra time off, and based on
- 12:01Speaker 1: the fact that it's just way uglier what they did
- 12:04Speaker 1: last week because it was against a worst team, even
- 12:07Speaker 1: though it was with Joe burrow back. That was the
- 12:10Speaker 1: reverse injured player spot with borrow Man, and it was
- 12:13Speaker 1: still just awful for the Ravens there. But I think
- 12:17Speaker 1: with extra time off, that game being more embarrassing than
- 12:20Speaker 1: losing to Buffalo. I don't know, even though the public
- 12:24Speaker 1: seems to be on the Ravens side. We'll see what
- 12:25Speaker 1: the market starts looking like tomorrow, but I'm kind of
- 12:28Speaker 1: leaning towards saying lay it with the Ravens in that
- 12:30Speaker 1: one for now. But it does concern me Seahawks Falcons.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna change my opinion on this one.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I would take the points with Atlanta in this game.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Eighty two percent of the tickets, only seventy nine percent
- 12:42Speaker 1: of the cash on the Seahawks. It is the number
- 12:45Speaker 1: is down from seven and a half to six and
- 12:46Speaker 1: a half here. Obviously, if you like the Falcons, you
- 12:49Speaker 1: want to try to get at least seven on this,
- 12:51Speaker 1: and I think you probably can. Like maybe I would
- 12:54Speaker 1: even wait because I mean, if you're just gonna lose
- 12:57Speaker 1: the six and a half for a six, that doesn't
- 12:59Speaker 1: really matter. So like I would wait to see if
- 13:01Speaker 1: you can get seven to seven and a half on
- 13:03Speaker 1: this if you want Atlanta. And I do agree with
- 13:05Speaker 1: Atlanta on this one. Seattle, I don't think they're quite
- 13:09Speaker 1: as good as the record looks at this point. And
- 13:12Speaker 1: people are gonna just look at what they did last week.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Oh they beat Minnesota twenty six to nothing. Yeah, they did,
- 13:17Speaker 1: but that was because Max Brosmer. I mean, I thought
- 13:20Speaker 1: that he couldn't possibly be worse than JJ McCarthy and Maham.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Was I wrong. Max Brosner was horrible in that game,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and that was pretty much what happened in that game,
- 13:29Speaker 1: twenty six to nothing shut out. So it looks like
- 13:34Speaker 1: a good win for Seattle, but Sam Darnell was terrible
- 13:37Speaker 1: in the game. Darnald's actually been not very good over
- 13:40Speaker 1: the last three weeks man or even four weeks. I
- 13:42Speaker 1: would say he's kind of starting to regress, which I
- 13:46Speaker 1: kind of expected that a little bit. And Atlanta is
- 13:48Speaker 1: a team that can blitz. They do blitz a lot
- 13:51Speaker 1: on deepfense, and that is what Donald struggles with. So
- 13:55Speaker 1: maybe there's more game footage on him now, more footage
- 13:58Speaker 1: on him, more film on him. These teams starting to
- 14:00Speaker 1: figure out how you can counter him, because last year
- 14:03Speaker 1: it was really only Detroit and the Rams that were
- 14:05Speaker 1: able to do it. But now this season we've seen
- 14:08Speaker 1: the Rams in Minnesota do it, and maybe some more
- 14:10Speaker 1: teams are gonna do it. But Seattle's also having a
- 14:14Speaker 1: lot of travel here, dude. This is gonna be their
- 14:16Speaker 1: third road game in four weeks. It's gonna be their
- 14:18Speaker 1: fourth road game in the last six weeks, and that
- 14:20Speaker 1: can kind of take it sold to having to go
- 14:23Speaker 1: back to the East Coast again after being out on
- 14:25Speaker 1: the Pacific time zone. They were in Tennessee the week
- 14:28Speaker 1: prior to that, they were in the Pacific Times. On
- 14:30Speaker 1: the week before that at the Rams. Two weeks before that,
- 14:33Speaker 1: they were on the East Coast against Washington. So a
- 14:36Speaker 1: lot of things. I just don't like the spot here
- 14:38Speaker 1: for Seattle Man, And they do have Indianapolis next and
- 14:40Speaker 1: then a quick turnaround to the Rams after that, and
- 14:43Speaker 1: both of those games I think are a bit bigger
- 14:45Speaker 1: than this one. Atlanta's been struggling. I don't think people
- 14:48Speaker 1: really take Atlanta with Kirk Cousins seriously, especially losing to
- 14:52Speaker 1: the Jets last week. But as I just showed you,
- 14:56Speaker 1: Atlanta was better in that game than it looked man.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So Kirk Cousins, you could say he's getting a little
- 15:02Speaker 1: bit better again. I mean, he was awful the first
- 15:05Speaker 1: game that he played this year, which was the one
- 15:06Speaker 1: against Miami earlier this year. But he's been a little
- 15:09Speaker 1: bit better the last couple of games, which is good
- 15:12Speaker 1: because I kind of like Cousins. I kind of want
- 15:14Speaker 1: him to have a resurgence, and Atlanta's gonna need that
- 15:17Speaker 1: if they're gonna try to make a push here, and
- 15:19Speaker 1: they need these games more because their path to the
- 15:22Speaker 1: playoffs is to win the division. But there is a
- 15:26Speaker 1: concern about that because yeah, they gotta win the division.
- 15:28Speaker 1: But look who they play next. Man, they played Tampa Bay,
- 15:31Speaker 1: and it's revenge for Week one as well, where I
- 15:34Speaker 1: think Atlanta should have won that game in Week one.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I mean they had the game won pretty much and
- 15:38Speaker 1: yum Waiku pretty much fucked them in that game. And
- 15:41Speaker 1: he still looks like he's not good. If you saw
- 15:44Speaker 1: him completely stop on a field goal attempting to blame
- 15:47Speaker 1: the holder in that game against the Patriots, when he
- 15:50Speaker 1: just stopped and didn't even attempt the field goal. If
- 15:53Speaker 1: you saw that, it's almost like he's a Ray Finkel. Now,
- 15:58Speaker 1: for those who get that ref it's The Ace Venture,
- 16:01Speaker 1: a great movie by the way, you know, blaming Dan
- 16:06Speaker 1: Marino for the hold laces out. Dan uh, the laces
- 16:10Speaker 1: were out, but yung Waiku was saying that the ball
- 16:13Speaker 1: was slipping out of the holder's grasp. I don't know, man,
- 16:17Speaker 1: But Atlanta does have Tampa up on Thursday, though, So
- 16:20Speaker 1: I do worry about a little bit of a look
- 16:21Speaker 1: ahead here because that Tampa game is gonna be huge.
- 16:24Speaker 1: It's gonna have some divisional implications. So I do worry
- 16:27Speaker 1: about the look I had a little bit for Atlanta here,
- 16:29Speaker 1: so I would take Atlanta plus the points, but it's
- 16:33Speaker 1: not on my card. Yeah, alrighty then yep, Finkel is einhorn. Man,
- 16:41Speaker 1: I can't do a very good Ace or Jim Carrey.
- 16:46Speaker 1: All right, Colts and Jags. I don't know what to
- 16:50Speaker 1: do with this game either. Man. At first, I was
- 16:52Speaker 1: thinking the Jags were gonna kind of be a public
- 16:54Speaker 1: side here because the public doesn't want the Colts after
- 16:57Speaker 1: what they've done the last couple of weeks. But Jag
- 17:00Speaker 1: looking like they have fifty four percent of tickets fifty
- 17:02Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash on them, and the Colts
- 17:04Speaker 1: have dropped from a two and a half point favorite
- 17:06Speaker 1: to a one point favorite here. And this is a
- 17:08Speaker 1: pretty big game, man, because the winner of this game
- 17:10Speaker 1: will be in sole possession of the lead in that division.
- 17:15Speaker 1: And it's starting to look like the crazily the AFC
- 17:18Speaker 1: South is gonna get multiple teams into the playoffs, which
- 17:21Speaker 1: I really didn't think. So. My prediction preseason was Jacksonville
- 17:25Speaker 1: to win the division, and they might if they win
- 17:28Speaker 1: this game, man, And I think they might. When I
- 17:32Speaker 1: start thinking about this game more, I kind of lean
- 17:35Speaker 1: towards Jacksonville, I mean Indianapolis. Yeah, they're coming up a
- 17:38Speaker 1: couple of straight losses, but look at those games, man,
- 17:41Speaker 1: I mean they played two physical teams, man, Kansas City
- 17:45Speaker 1: and Houston, losing both games barely by three in overtime
- 17:49Speaker 1: in Arrowhead, and then last week against Houston, tough divisional battle.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Those two teams beat you up physically, man, So I
- 17:57Speaker 1: kind of worry about it for Indianapolis. Here, man, here's
- 18:00Speaker 1: a little thing for you with Indianapolis playing at Jacksonville.
- 18:04Speaker 1: I don't have enough people in the chat to really
- 18:06Speaker 1: do this, because I was gonna ask, when do you
- 18:08Speaker 1: think the last time Indy one in Jacksonville was? And
- 18:13Speaker 1: granted they've played a couple of times. I think in London,
- 18:16Speaker 1: where Jacksonville has their home game against indian London, that's
- 18:20Speaker 1: happened a couple of times. But even so, the last
- 18:24Speaker 1: time the Colts won in this stadium in Jacksonville was
- 18:30Speaker 1: eleven years ago, twenty fourteen. Indianapolis has not won in
- 18:35Speaker 1: Jacksonville since twenty fourteen, So that is not really a
- 18:39Speaker 1: trend that I'm willing to jump in front of either
- 18:41Speaker 1: here man, Yeah, your Charles, Yeah, you're close. Yeah, twenty fourteen,
- 18:46Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure is the correct answer. It's ridiculous. It's
- 18:50Speaker 1: one of the more ridiculous streaks that's out there. I
- 18:53Speaker 1: don't want to don't. I wouldn't solely base a handicap
- 18:56Speaker 1: off of that. But Jacksonville is also coming off easy
- 19:00Speaker 1: your games, though, Man, Jacksonville had an easy win over
- 19:03Speaker 1: Tennessee last week. They did have to go two Arizona
- 19:06Speaker 1: the week before then, and that wasn't as easy, and
- 19:08Speaker 1: I'm pissed that we lost on Arizona by a half
- 19:10Speaker 1: point in that one. But Jacksonville last week they had
- 19:13Speaker 1: an easy game against Tennessee and now the flight back
- 19:16Speaker 1: home for this game is not very difficult for them,
- 19:19Speaker 1: So that's not too bad. O. The way it sets
- 19:21Speaker 1: up for Jacksonville here slightly into Jacksonville for me here,
- 19:25Speaker 1: And I still don't like that. India as Daniel Jones
- 19:27Speaker 1: playing with a broken leg. I mean, it's just ridiculous, man, Yeah,
- 19:32Speaker 1: you were close, for sure. Yeah, Daniel Jones playing with
- 19:37Speaker 1: a broken fibula warris me as well. Man. We get
- 19:39Speaker 1: to the four pm say, oh no, wait, there's another
- 19:41Speaker 1: one pm game where I don't know, it looks like
- 19:44Speaker 1: something must have gotten flex here because we have stuff
- 19:46Speaker 1: all over the place here. I'll do the one PM
- 19:49Speaker 1: games still, Saints at Buccaneers. Buccaneers are out from a
- 19:53Speaker 1: seven and a half to a nine point favorite. They're
- 19:55Speaker 1: public with ninety percent of the tickets, but it looks
- 19:57Speaker 1: like the actual money is also winning the public on
- 20:01Speaker 1: that side. We see two games that look like that
- 20:04Speaker 1: here this week with the Buccaneers and the Rams. Buccaneers
- 20:08Speaker 1: ninety percent of the cash on them. I mean, I
- 20:12Speaker 1: don't really have a great reason to fade Tampa in
- 20:15Speaker 1: this game. Tampa. I mean they need to hold serve
- 20:18Speaker 1: in their division because they're still barely hanging onto this
- 20:21Speaker 1: division over Carolina right now, although they do play Carolina
- 20:25Speaker 1: once twice. Still. But the Buccaneers, I mean, they were
- 20:30Speaker 1: better than they looked last week. They had a bounce
- 20:32Speaker 1: back with that win. Baker Mayfield played. He seems to
- 20:35Speaker 1: be healthy if you look at what happened in this game. Yeah,
- 20:38Speaker 1: the Buccaneers barely won this game, but they were winning
- 20:40Speaker 1: this game by a lot more in this game, although
- 20:43Speaker 1: they got out gained, so that does worry me. Arizona
- 20:46Speaker 1: actually did kind of dominate them statistically, with over one
- 20:49Speaker 1: hundred more yards twenty two to thirteen. A Verst Downs.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Buccaneers actually did win the time of possession battle. Arizona
- 20:56Speaker 1: had two turnovers, which kind of did the minute seems
- 20:59Speaker 1: like that's happening to Arizona a lot. Man, They're out
- 21:02Speaker 1: gaining all these teams and just falling short with turnovers.
- 21:05Speaker 1: But I think what you can say is that was
- 21:07Speaker 1: a lackluster game for Tampa Bay and maybe there was
- 21:10Speaker 1: something where, you know, Baker Mayfield was out pretty early
- 21:14Speaker 1: in the previous game, so maybe he had to kind
- 21:15Speaker 1: of get his bearings again. To me, it kind of
- 21:18Speaker 1: looks like a bounce back spot for Tampa the second
- 21:21Speaker 1: game back home. Like, I don't think I would want
- 21:23Speaker 1: to take the Saints here, man, although the Saints have
- 21:26Speaker 1: played close in a good amount of their games this year,
- 21:29Speaker 1: Like they are a team that does show up and
- 21:32Speaker 1: play pretty competitively, and I think they will for this
- 21:35Speaker 1: game because it is a road revenge, you know, second
- 21:37Speaker 1: divisional matchup too. So I do a lot of times
- 21:41Speaker 1: say that you do want to look that way where
- 21:43Speaker 1: New Orleans lost to Tampa Bay twenty three to three
- 21:46Speaker 1: in New Orleans earlier this year and a lot of times.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I do say that is an angle and that second
- 21:50Speaker 1: divisional matchup happens if the road team won the first game,
- 21:54Speaker 1: and now in the second game, that team that lost
- 21:56Speaker 1: that first game at home is a divisional road underdog,
- 21:59Speaker 1: they are a pretty decent way to look in that game.
- 22:03Speaker 1: So I struggle with this game too, man. I mean,
- 22:08Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm kind of flipping myself
- 22:10Speaker 1: around here, like I want to see what the market
- 22:12Speaker 1: read looks like tomorrow leading up to the game before
- 22:15Speaker 1: I kind of actually give out a lien on this one,
- 22:19Speaker 1: because initially I was kind of thinking a Tampa Bay
- 22:22Speaker 1: is probably gonna be the lean in this one. But
- 22:24Speaker 1: I'm not so sure, man. I mean, maybe feisty Saints
- 22:28Speaker 1: team coming in, because they do. When you're a team
- 22:30Speaker 1: like the Saints and you don't have anything left to
- 22:32Speaker 1: play for in the season, one of the games you
- 22:34Speaker 1: will get up for is a game like this where
- 22:36Speaker 1: we have the potential to maybe spoil a divisional rival season.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So maybe you'll get a good effort out of New
- 22:42Speaker 1: Orleans here. So I don't know, maybe I'll flip it
- 22:44Speaker 1: around and say, maybe you do want to take the
- 22:46Speaker 1: points in that one, and then the other one PM
- 22:48Speaker 1: game that looks like it got flexed out of a
- 22:51Speaker 1: four PM game is Bengals Bills. But it seems like
- 22:54Speaker 1: it should be one of those later games where they
- 22:56Speaker 1: put some of those later games as the better games,
- 22:58Speaker 1: because this is the This is some primetime stuff here now,
- 23:01Speaker 1: man with Joe Burrow against Josh Allen, even though even
- 23:06Speaker 1: though the Bengals are barely holding on to very very
- 23:10Speaker 1: slim hopes of doing anything. Of course, if the Bengals
- 23:12Speaker 1: are gonna get into the playoffs, they're gonna have to
- 23:14Speaker 1: win their division. I mean, they're not gonna get a
- 23:16Speaker 1: wild card. I do lean to the Bills in this game.
- 23:20Speaker 1: The Bills are a six point favorite, fifty three percent
- 23:22Speaker 1: of the cash on them, fifty two percent of the
- 23:24Speaker 1: tickets coming in on the Bengals. Of course, people are
- 23:27Speaker 1: gonna comment on how it seems like Joe Burrow always
- 23:30Speaker 1: gives the Bills fits though, like Joe Burrow seems to
- 23:32Speaker 1: go into Buffalo and win, like every time he's there
- 23:36Speaker 1: as an underdog of around this magnitude. That is true,
- 23:38Speaker 1: he does do well in Buffalo. I don't disagree with that.
- 23:41Speaker 1: And now this is his second game back. And I
- 23:44Speaker 1: do realize Cincinnati does have extra time off here because
- 23:46Speaker 1: they played on Thursday on Thanksgiving night, but that was
- 23:50Speaker 1: a huge divisional primetime win over the Ravens. Man And again,
- 23:54Speaker 1: it was really pretty misleading, right because I showed you that.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I mean, Baltimore had five turnovers in the game, so
- 24:01Speaker 1: it wasn't really that much that Cincinnati did. It was
- 24:04Speaker 1: more that Baltimore just threw the game away, which I'm
- 24:07Speaker 1: still pissed about. So that game wasn't really what it
- 24:10Speaker 1: looked like on the scoreboard. Now Cincinnati is facing a
- 24:13Speaker 1: third road game in four weeks, which is pretty difficult.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And by the way, I did say that their path
- 24:18Speaker 1: to make the playoffs is to win their division. Well
- 24:20Speaker 1: guess who they play next week? Yeah, they play the
- 24:23Speaker 1: Ravens again next week. So they're in a dreaded Ravens
- 24:26Speaker 1: sandwich here, which I don't know what the raven sandwich is,
- 24:30Speaker 1: but the Baltimore sandwich. But it's a rare scenario here.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Cincinnati is going to overlook Buffalo.
- 24:36Speaker 1: I mean they shouldn't, but the Ravens games mean more, man,
- 24:41Speaker 1: and that was just a crazy upset win, so I
- 24:44Speaker 1: think it still really could be a little bit of
- 24:46Speaker 1: a letdown spot for Buffalo. I mean, I don't know
- 24:50Speaker 1: if Buffalo could still I think Buffalo could technically still
- 24:53Speaker 1: win their division, but if they're gonna do that, they
- 24:56Speaker 1: do need to beat New England on the road, and
- 24:58Speaker 1: that's next week. So Buffalo, I guess you could argue
- 25:00Speaker 1: does have a look ahead to next week because that
- 25:02Speaker 1: is a big game against New England. So I struggle
- 25:06Speaker 1: with this game. I think both teams are in bad spots.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I mean, I told you, man, I don't like this
- 25:10Speaker 1: board here, like I'm gonna lean to Buffalo, and it
- 25:12Speaker 1: looks like the market is agreeing with that, just because
- 25:15Speaker 1: I don't think the Bengals are as good as what
- 25:17Speaker 1: they looked like last week, even though I know second
- 25:19Speaker 1: game with your star star quarterback back, you are generally
- 25:22Speaker 1: gonna play better. But I don't know, man, I mean
- 25:28Speaker 1: to me, it seems like it's a like it seems
- 25:30Speaker 1: like it's a Buffalo spot. To man, Buffalo had a
- 25:32Speaker 1: much easier game last week, even though even though yeah, Buffalo,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I mean, it was like a decent win for them
- 25:42Speaker 1: on the road whatever, like they looked alright, But like
- 25:45Speaker 1: I mean, that game was over pretty pretty early on.
- 25:47Speaker 1: I would say so Buffalo. I mean, they really didn't
- 25:50Speaker 1: have to do much. Buffalo was literally just running like
- 25:52Speaker 1: counterweight with James Cook over and over again, and for
- 25:56Speaker 1: some reason the Steelers couldn't stop it. Like Mike Tomlin,
- 25:59Speaker 1: he doesn't make it adjustments, dude, he did not make
- 26:01Speaker 1: adjustments on that rushing play. The Buffalo is running all
- 26:04Speaker 1: game and with success all game last week, and which,
- 26:09Speaker 1: by the way, Baltimore might realize that this week and
- 26:12Speaker 1: just do the same thing with Derreck Henry, because I mean,
- 26:15Speaker 1: they obviously have the ability to. Although Baltimore seems to
- 26:17Speaker 1: be stupid with how they use their rushing attack. They
- 26:20Speaker 1: don't use it effectively, so I don't know. But for
- 26:22Speaker 1: Buffalo it was an easy game because they just ran
- 26:25Speaker 1: the football a lot. So I don't know. I don't
- 26:30Speaker 1: know what else to say about it. I don't think
- 26:31Speaker 1: people are gonna put that much wade into Buffalo beating
- 26:33Speaker 1: Pittsburgh like that. Public seems to be just off the
- 26:36Speaker 1: Pittsburgh train. They don't like Rogers and whatever, So I
- 26:40Speaker 1: don't know. Tough game for me to read slightly into
- 26:43Speaker 1: buffalo for now, but lobster like top lobster. Oh, that's
- 26:51Speaker 1: like a buffalo sandwich. I don't know that a lobster well,
- 26:54Speaker 1: a lobster sandwich, wouldn't that just be a lobster roll.
- 26:57Speaker 1: That's what we have up here in New England. I
- 26:58Speaker 1: don't know if I don't think you really can classify
- 27:00Speaker 1: that as a sandwich though. But we do the lobster role.
- 27:03Speaker 1: It's in like a hot dog role basically, or a
- 27:06Speaker 1: brio shroll, you know what I'm talking about. The New
- 27:10Speaker 1: England styles to do the cold one with the Mayo.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Don't want to overdo the Mayo though. All right, let's
- 27:16Speaker 1: go to the four PM games here. Oh yeah, Raven
- 27:21Speaker 1: and lobster. Yeah that's uh yeah interesting. It is a
- 27:27Speaker 1: Nephelin death squad man. All right, four pm Slate Bears Packers.
- 27:31Speaker 1: This is a big game, man, But the Packers are
- 27:34Speaker 1: a six and a half point favorite, and you know,
- 27:36Speaker 1: the public they love these, you know, shiny toys. The
- 27:40Speaker 1: public does not love green Bay because their offense is
- 27:42Speaker 1: kind of crappy, to be honest, but green Bay is
- 27:46Speaker 1: really good defensively in Chicago, I honestly don't think They're
- 27:50Speaker 1: good on either side of the ball. I keep saying it.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I know I keep being wrong about Chicago, predicting that
- 27:57Speaker 1: Chicago's gonna lose these games, But the Wheels are gonna
- 28:00Speaker 1: them off to the Chicago team, they were complete frauds.
- 28:03Speaker 1: They might be the most fraudulent team in NFL history, Dude,
- 28:06Speaker 1: Like theyk just now, just because of their last win.
- 28:09Speaker 1: They barely have a positive point differential just because they
- 28:14Speaker 1: won last week, They're like plus six now in point
- 28:17Speaker 1: differential on the entire season, and they're still negative yards
- 28:21Speaker 1: for play differential. This is gonna be their third road
- 28:24Speaker 1: game in four weeks, and they're coming off like basically
- 28:27Speaker 1: their legitimizer game. And everybody saw it on Black Friday.
- 28:31Speaker 1: They went into Philadelphia and beat the Super Bowl champs. Man,
- 28:35Speaker 1: I know Chicago wants to go into green Bay and
- 28:37Speaker 1: do it too. But green Bay, I mean, they were
- 28:40Speaker 1: a half game behind Chicago because they had that stupid
- 28:42Speaker 1: tie against Dallas earlier. So I think green Bay is
- 28:46Speaker 1: gonna have something to prove here. Man, green Bay is
- 28:48Speaker 1: the better team. It's a more difficult spot for Chicago
- 28:51Speaker 1: because they're gonna have to put in this effort multiple
- 28:53Speaker 1: games in a row like this. And for Philadelphia, I
- 28:56Speaker 1: mean Philadelphia, they really have been kind of unimpressive this year,
- 29:00Speaker 1: not that Super Bowl win, Like they don't have the
- 29:02Speaker 1: same defense as last year. Philly has not really been
- 29:05Speaker 1: great offensively this year. I mean they've been winning a
- 29:08Speaker 1: lot of games by close margins. Green Bay, I mean,
- 29:14Speaker 1: green Bay might be better than Philadelphia, man, and green
- 29:17Speaker 1: Bay's laying basically the same, maybe even a little bit
- 29:19Speaker 1: less here, Like the public's gonna look at this and say,
- 29:22Speaker 1: how is Chicago as the slightly better team and they
- 29:24Speaker 1: haven't lost since weeks and weeks ago? How are they
- 29:28Speaker 1: getting like almost a touchdown here? Like it looks so
- 29:31Speaker 1: easy to take the Bears here, But that is not
- 29:33Speaker 1: what I would do. I mean, I think there is
- 29:35Speaker 1: even let down potential. Hero though. Yeah, you could argue
- 29:38Speaker 1: the same thing for green Bay, because people did also
- 29:40Speaker 1: see green Bay on Thursday beat Detroit on Thanksgiving. That
- 29:44Speaker 1: was a big win, no doubt about it. Green Bay
- 29:47Speaker 1: got the seasons sweep of Detroit. But they do have
- 29:52Speaker 1: an extra day off at least because that was in
- 29:55Speaker 1: the afternoon on Thursday, where Chicago played later afternoon on Friday.
- 30:00Speaker 1: One extra day of rest for Green Bay here. But
- 30:02Speaker 1: both teams are gonna show up, and if that's the case,
- 30:05Speaker 1: the better team is what makes sense here. I would
- 30:07Speaker 1: lay it with the Packers, try to if you want
- 30:09Speaker 1: to do it, I would try to get it at
- 30:10Speaker 1: below seven. I have fifty three percent of the tickets
- 30:13Speaker 1: on the Bears, sixty two percent of the cash on
- 30:15Speaker 1: the Packers. I agree again, the Bears can't continue doing this. Man.
- 30:19Speaker 1: They're like a slightly below average offense and they're like
- 30:23Speaker 1: a bottom ten defense, So they just can't continue to
- 30:27Speaker 1: do this, man. Packers should be able to score against
- 30:30Speaker 1: that defense, all right. Also in the four PM slate,
- 30:35Speaker 1: I'm not going in total chronological order here because some
- 30:38Speaker 1: of these this one game is a twenty minutes earlier
- 30:41Speaker 1: than these other two. But Broncos at Raiders, the Broncos
- 30:45Speaker 1: laying eight points on the road here, eighty nine percent
- 30:48Speaker 1: of the tickets and cash on the Broncos. I know
- 30:51Speaker 1: the Broncos didn't look good. I'm on a Sunday night,
- 30:53Speaker 1: and that was a win for us with Washington plus
- 30:56Speaker 1: the points. But the Broncos are just publican away because
- 31:00Speaker 1: the public is gonna want nothing to do with the Raiders. Man,
- 31:03Speaker 1: But the Raiders did go into Mile High and they
- 31:07Speaker 1: put up a fight. Man, the Broncos only beat them
- 31:09Speaker 1: ten to seven back on that Thursday Night game a
- 31:12Speaker 1: few weeks ago. So the Raiders, I think one of
- 31:15Speaker 1: the situations where a dead team like the Raiders, one
- 31:17Speaker 1: of the situations where they will show up is to
- 31:20Speaker 1: play a divisional game like this. So I do think
- 31:22Speaker 1: you will get a decent effort out of the Raiders
- 31:24Speaker 1: in this one game here like you did the last time,
- 31:27Speaker 1: although obviously Denver might remember that game and fix some
- 31:31Speaker 1: things because they weren't good in that game. But then
- 31:34Speaker 1: on the other hand, I mean, they're on a short week,
- 31:36Speaker 1: they are having to travel cross country here like they
- 31:40Speaker 1: were in Denver. Well, they're in Denver before the bye actually,
- 31:43Speaker 1: so they did have a bye in between the two.
- 31:45Speaker 1: But they were out on the East Coast last week
- 31:47Speaker 1: late Sunday, and now they have to go back to
- 31:49Speaker 1: the they have to go all the way to the
- 31:50Speaker 1: Pacific time zone. They do have Green Bay Necks, which
- 31:54Speaker 1: maybe they'll be looking ahead to that a little bit
- 31:55Speaker 1: because that is a bigger game. So I don't know, man,
- 31:59Speaker 1: And the other thing about Denvers they just don't win
- 32:01Speaker 1: by margin like this eight point spread. They've won by
- 32:06Speaker 1: that margin, uh what twice all season. It was in
- 32:09Speaker 1: Week one at home against Tennessee where they won by
- 32:12Speaker 1: exactly eight, and then against Jake Browning the Cincinnati Bengals
- 32:16Speaker 1: they won on a Monday night game twenty eight to three.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Since then, all the rest of their wins have been
- 32:21Speaker 1: by four or fewer points every single time. Oh no, sorry,
- 32:25Speaker 1: they beat Dallas, my mistake. They crushed Dallas in the
- 32:28Speaker 1: middle of there. But all the rest of their wins
- 32:29Speaker 1: besides those have been by four. If you were so Denver.
- 32:33Speaker 1: I mean again, they're just not really built to win
- 32:35Speaker 1: by margin. Like I said last week, I wouldn't want
- 32:37Speaker 1: to lay points like this on the road. They're mostly
- 32:40Speaker 1: a defensive team. Vegas, I would think should get up
- 32:43Speaker 1: for this. I mean, everybody's just making fun of them.
- 32:46Speaker 1: They had another ugly loss last week in LA. They're
- 32:49Speaker 1: just staying in the Pacific time zone here. They've been.
- 32:52Speaker 1: This is gonna be the fourth straight week I think
- 32:54Speaker 1: that they're in the Pacific time zone. Yeah, so the
- 32:58Speaker 1: travel spot is not bad at all for Vegas. Here,
- 33:01Speaker 1: I would probably lean towards taking the points with Vegas.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I don't love it though. All right, what games so
- 33:10Speaker 1: I have left here? Rams Cardinals. This is another one
- 33:13Speaker 1: where my instinct, my first thought on this game was
- 33:16Speaker 1: to lay the points with the Rams. Public is all
- 33:19Speaker 1: over the Rams because the public doesn't like the Cardinals.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Ninety percent of tickets ninety five percent of the cash
- 33:24Speaker 1: on the Rams r up from nine and a half
- 33:26Speaker 1: to a ten point favorite. Here. Now I have you know,
- 33:31Speaker 1: I have some problems figuring this game out too, man.
- 33:33Speaker 1: The Rams, to me, I think they should be in
- 33:36Speaker 1: a bounced back spot because they went out to the
- 33:38Speaker 1: East Coast last week and they had an ugly loss
- 33:40Speaker 1: to Carolina. They didn't play well. It was a bad
- 33:43Speaker 1: game for them. Looking at the stats, I mean it
- 33:46Speaker 1: was a little bit misleading. Though the Rams are minus
- 33:48Speaker 1: three in turnovers. Man, they won the yardage battle in
- 33:53Speaker 1: the game, so it was kind of a misleading result.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Like the Rams, when you're minus three internovers, you shouldn't
- 33:58Speaker 1: only lose by three. So did play better than what
- 34:01Speaker 1: it looked like in that game. So to me, it
- 34:03Speaker 1: does seem like a bounce back spot, even though they
- 34:05Speaker 1: are having to travel back from the East Coast to
- 34:09Speaker 1: whatever time zone Arizona is in Mountain time zone or whatever.
- 34:13Speaker 1: And yes, they do have Detroit up next and then
- 34:15Speaker 1: Seattle on a Thursday, so you could argue they might
- 34:18Speaker 1: be looking ahead to those games. I don't know that
- 34:20Speaker 1: they're gonna overlook a divisional game, man, even though it
- 34:23Speaker 1: is Arizona, and Arizona is way behind everybody else. For Arizona,
- 34:28Speaker 1: I mean, they are also traveling back from the East
- 34:30Speaker 1: time zone, Eastern time zon though, because they were just
- 34:33Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay and they played pretty well. Although granted
- 34:36Speaker 1: Arizona was actually better than they looked. Both of these
- 34:38Speaker 1: teams were better than the final score indicated. Last week.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Arizona also turned the ball over. As I showed you,
- 34:45Speaker 1: they outgained Tampa. But that was a pretty big performance
- 34:47Speaker 1: from Arizona. Man against Tampa out on the East coast,
- 34:51Speaker 1: they were an underdog. They played pretty well. Now they're
- 34:53Speaker 1: coming back from that, coming back home. I mean, based
- 34:57Speaker 1: on just what these teams did last week, I kindly
- 34:59Speaker 1: in towards the Rams, but I don't think I want
- 35:02Speaker 1: to lay like ten on the road in a divisional
- 35:04Speaker 1: game with the Rams. Man and Arizona, what you can
- 35:07Speaker 1: say about them is they've been pretty feisty, let's say,
- 35:11Speaker 1: I mean the almost all their losses have come by
- 35:13Speaker 1: single digits. Other losses are by one at the forty
- 35:17Speaker 1: nine Ers, three at home against Seattle, one at home
- 35:20Speaker 1: against Tennessee, four on the road in Indianapolis, four at
- 35:26Speaker 1: home against Green Bay. Then they did get blown out
- 35:29Speaker 1: at Seattle, but the yardage battle was actually close in
- 35:31Speaker 1: that game. And then they got blown out by San Francisco,
- 35:33Speaker 1: but they actually outgained San Francisco significantly in that game.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Then their last two losses were by three and overtime
- 35:40Speaker 1: against Jacksonville at home and then three on the road
- 35:43Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay. So they played a lot of close games.
- 35:46Speaker 1: So Arizona is probably at least better than their record looks.
- 35:49Speaker 1: So again, yeah, I struggle with it, but I don't know,
- 35:54Speaker 1: maybe overall slight lean towards taking the points there, but
- 35:58Speaker 1: I don't love it at all. And I think that
- 36:01Speaker 1: does this, that that'll bring us to the best bets
- 36:04Speaker 1: except for well, the Monday night game, I don't have
- 36:06Speaker 1: a best bet on. I guess we could just briefly
- 36:09Speaker 1: talk about Monday Night now Eagles and Chargers. Eagles are
- 36:13Speaker 1: off from a two point favorite or a two and
- 36:14Speaker 1: a half point favorite. And this line seems a little
- 36:18Speaker 1: bit weird to me, man. I think it's because Justin
- 36:21Speaker 1: Herbert is questionable for the Chargers, so you have to
- 36:24Speaker 1: try to gauge, like what are they gonna do with him?
- 36:26Speaker 1: Like is Herbert actually playing or is he not playing?
- 36:29Speaker 1: Like this line almost seems to indicate that maybe he's
- 36:31Speaker 1: not playing, because would the Eagles really be this much
- 36:35Speaker 1: of a road favorite if Herbert was playing. I don't know, man,
- 36:39Speaker 1: but if he winds up playing, you're gonna see this
- 36:41Speaker 1: line come back towards the Chargers. Man, the Eagles are
- 36:44Speaker 1: public sixty eight percent of tickets, only fifty four percent
- 36:47Speaker 1: of the cash. I wouldn't really want to lay a
- 36:50Speaker 1: price with the Eagles on the road in a primetime
- 36:53Speaker 1: game where the Eagles have to go to the West Coast,
- 36:55Speaker 1: and you know I talk about this, these East coast
- 36:57Speaker 1: teams going to the West Coast. It's bad for their
- 37:00Speaker 1: biological clock in a late night game like this because
- 37:03Speaker 1: it's just late for them. So it's not great. Yeah,
- 37:06Speaker 1: short show. I like these better, man, it's been too
- 37:09Speaker 1: long anyway, so I don't I like fading these teams
- 37:13Speaker 1: when they go out to the West Coast for these
- 37:15Speaker 1: late night games. So the Philly did do it once
- 37:17Speaker 1: last year against the Rams, and they beat them anyway,
- 37:19Speaker 1: pretty handling. I think I might have had a loss
- 37:21Speaker 1: on that game too, So Philly has shown the ability
- 37:24Speaker 1: to do that though, and Philly is coming off a
- 37:27Speaker 1: couple of pretty ugly losses due I mean, they blew
- 37:29Speaker 1: a twenty one nothing lead against Dallas and then last
- 37:32Speaker 1: week they lost to the Bears, which the Eagles. Everybody
- 37:36Speaker 1: saw that on Black Friday, and the Eagles were a
- 37:38Speaker 1: favorite there. So in some ways it looks like a
- 37:40Speaker 1: bounce back for the Eagles, whereas the Chargers, I mean
- 37:44Speaker 1: they just had a whatever win last week against Vegas.
- 37:47Speaker 1: I mean it was good as a bounce back win.
- 37:50Speaker 1: They're coming out of a bye, so the Chargers will
- 37:52Speaker 1: be more rested here and they're staying at home, so
- 37:54Speaker 1: the rest and travel spot definitely does benefit the Chargers here.
- 37:59Speaker 1: We gotta know if Herbert's play or not, though, I
- 38:01Speaker 1: mean I struggle with this game a lot. Yeah, I
- 38:05Speaker 1: don't even know what I would do with it. And
- 38:06Speaker 1: because the Eagles playing on Friday, they do have extra
- 38:08Speaker 1: time off though, as well extra day day or and
- 38:12Speaker 1: a half off. So I don't know, man, I don't
- 38:15Speaker 1: know what I want to do with this game at
- 38:17Speaker 1: the moment. I mean, the market is saying to take
- 38:19Speaker 1: the points of the Chargers. Now, if Justin Herbert is out,
- 38:23Speaker 1: then you get an injured player spot coming into play
- 38:25Speaker 1: with the Chargers. I don't even know who their backup
- 38:28Speaker 1: quarterback is right now, but you'll probably get more points,
- 38:31Speaker 1: Like it might go up above a field goal if
- 38:33Speaker 1: it's announced that Herbert is not playing, and then probably
- 38:36Speaker 1: the lean has to be with the Chargers if that's
- 38:38Speaker 1: the case. If he is playing, it gets a little
- 38:41Speaker 1: bit more iffy, man, according to the market. I mean,
- 38:43Speaker 1: I guess still you'd want to lean that way, but
- 38:47Speaker 1: I don't really love it. Man. Let's go to the
- 38:49Speaker 1: best bets here. You already know what one of them is.
- 38:56Speaker 1: One of them. I mean, this is as ugly as
- 38:57Speaker 1: it gets, but you know that this is what I do.
- 39:00Speaker 1: We're gonna take the Minnesota Vikings plus the one and
- 39:02Speaker 1: a half here getting them is a little home underdog here.
- 39:06Speaker 1: The public, they're all they're all in Washington all of
- 39:09Speaker 1: a sudden, because the Vikings looked so bad last week.
- 39:13Speaker 1: By the way, you can see the look ahead here
- 39:15Speaker 1: prior to last week's games, the Vikings are gonna be
- 39:17Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite in this game,
- 39:19Speaker 1: and now they're one and a half point underdog, basically
- 39:21Speaker 1: just because of last week. Well, maybe that's not entirely
- 39:26Speaker 1: the case. I'll talk about it in a minute, because
- 39:28Speaker 1: some of it does have to do with a quarterback situation,
- 39:30Speaker 1: So I'll mention that in a minute. But it's not
- 39:33Speaker 1: based entirely off of last week's results. But sixty two
- 39:36Speaker 1: percent of tickets, fifty four percent of the cash on Washington,
- 39:39Speaker 1: so they're public public. They're more so fading the Vikings
- 39:43Speaker 1: than they are playing the Washington side the Redskins. Although
- 39:48Speaker 1: let's look at the Redskins here for a minute. Man.
- 39:50Speaker 1: We got the win on them last week, right, so
- 39:52Speaker 1: they covered. They took Denver into overtime. Of course, whenever
- 39:55Speaker 1: you played Denver, it's a tough, physical game, man, and
- 39:58Speaker 1: teams that come off of playing Denver they don't typically
- 40:00Speaker 1: do very well. This season, I think the majority of
- 40:04Speaker 1: teams after playing Denver have lost the next game. I
- 40:06Speaker 1: don't know what the record is now. It was really
- 40:08Speaker 1: bad earlier in the season, but now Washington's coming up
- 40:11Speaker 1: of that. They did have a bye prior to that,
- 40:14Speaker 1: but now they're coming up that game. They're gonna go
- 40:16Speaker 1: on the road, and they do have a divisional game
- 40:18Speaker 1: up next against the Giants, so maybe a game that
- 40:21Speaker 1: maybe they'll focus on, although probably means more to the
- 40:23Speaker 1: Giants because Washington did beat the Giants already, but still
- 40:28Speaker 1: a minute, I just don't know if Washington's gonna be
- 40:30Speaker 1: focused on Minnesota. Man, as we say, a team that's dead,
- 40:33Speaker 1: like they're not going anywhere this year, like Washington, the
- 40:36Speaker 1: games that they're gonna get up for are primetime games
- 40:39Speaker 1: like they were just up for on Sunday at home,
- 40:41Speaker 1: and maybe divisional games maybe where they could spoil seasons
- 40:46Speaker 1: for opponents, So maybe Philadelphia, Dallas those remaining games, not
- 40:50Speaker 1: a game against Minnesota. Man. I just don't see where
- 40:53Speaker 1: the motivation comes from here for Washington. And again, they
- 40:56Speaker 1: just played a tough game and almost had the win
- 40:59Speaker 1: in primetime a game it's Denver that would have been
- 41:01Speaker 1: a huge win and they fell just short. Now they
- 41:03Speaker 1: gonna go to this Minnesota team, and Minnesota looked as
- 41:06Speaker 1: ugly as it gets last week. Man, Minnesota shut out
- 41:10Speaker 1: on the road at Seattle. Now they're coming back home. Yeah,
- 41:13Speaker 1: I know they played two games on the road, but
- 41:15Speaker 1: back in home, only home game in the in a
- 41:17Speaker 1: five week stretch. Minnesota hanging on for dear life here.
- 41:21Speaker 1: I think they're gonna show up for this game, man,
- 41:23Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get a better effort here. Again,
- 41:25Speaker 1: teams also don't want to get embarrassed. When teams get
- 41:28Speaker 1: shut out like this in the NFL, usually you're gonna
- 41:30Speaker 1: get value on them in the next game. They're gonna
- 41:32Speaker 1: play better. And of course we know that was Brosmer
- 41:36Speaker 1: at quarterback there, and that was basically the reason they
- 41:38Speaker 1: lost this game was Brosmer turning the ball over maybe
- 41:41Speaker 1: one of the worst pick sixes you'll ever see in
- 41:43Speaker 1: this game. Look at the yardage in this game, Like
- 41:47Speaker 1: Seattle only won the yards volt two nineteen to one
- 41:50Speaker 1: sixty two. The game was just awful on both sides.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Minnesota got penalized at the time Minnesota lost to turn
- 41:57Speaker 1: up in a bout of five to two, negative three
- 41:59Speaker 1: into runovers. You know they're gonna use this They're gonna
- 42:03Speaker 1: use this week to clean that up, man. And I'm
- 42:07Speaker 1: gonna go against what I said last week, Brosmer is
- 42:09Speaker 1: worse than McCarthy. But guess what we're getting. We're getting
- 42:12Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy back for this game. And I know normally
- 42:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, well, that means it's a reverse injured
- 42:18Speaker 1: player spot right where the team is gonna ease up
- 42:21Speaker 1: because their quarterback comes back. Are you really gonna ease
- 42:24Speaker 1: up when you just lost twenty six to nothing. I
- 42:27Speaker 1: don't think so, man. I think Minnesota is gonna show up. Uh.
- 42:31Speaker 1: And McCarthy, I mean, I think he's gonna try to
- 42:32Speaker 1: redeem himself with some really bad performances. I know he's
- 42:35Speaker 1: not good, but he's facing a week Washington deepfense here too,
- 42:39Speaker 1: so I think he might be able to do something
- 42:41Speaker 1: against this deepense, even though I know he hasn't looked
- 42:43Speaker 1: good against you know, Chicago for example. But I you
- 42:48Speaker 1: gotta think Minnesota is at least gonna show up here
- 42:51Speaker 1: for Washington. Let's throw another angle that you hear Washington
- 42:55Speaker 1: is actually in the reverse injured players spot in this
- 42:58Speaker 1: game because Jaden Daniels is coming and Daniels has been
- 43:01Speaker 1: out since I don't even know what since this Seattle
- 43:05Speaker 1: game right. When Daniels wrecked his arm in that game
- 43:07Speaker 1: against Seattle. Almost looks RG three esque, except the arm
- 43:11Speaker 1: instead of the legs. So Daniels has missed three games
- 43:14Speaker 1: and Washington actually played fairly well in their last two games,
- 43:17Speaker 1: and now he's coming back again. When a player has
- 43:20Speaker 1: a long absence, which by the way, McCarthy's absence is
- 43:23Speaker 1: only one game, so like it's gonna be a lot
- 43:26Speaker 1: easier for McCart they just show back up after one
- 43:29Speaker 1: game that Daniel's coming off a long layoff like this,
- 43:32Speaker 1: This is the worst, like reverse injured player, spot man,
- 43:35Speaker 1: when your star quarterback has been out for a long time.
- 43:37Speaker 1: We don't even know what he's gonna be like with
- 43:39Speaker 1: his left arm, and it's his non throwing arm, but
- 43:42Speaker 1: it's not non throwing arm. We'll see how healthy it
- 43:44Speaker 1: really is. The team, you know, they might ease up
- 43:47Speaker 1: a little bit knowing that their quarterback is back. He
- 43:49Speaker 1: has to get back into rhythm and whatever. So that's
- 43:51Speaker 1: gonna throw a wrench into it. And that's also part
- 43:53Speaker 1: of the reason why the line has moved towards Washington.
- 43:57Speaker 1: I just don't really think they should be a favorite
- 43:59Speaker 1: on the road here. Man and like, is Washington really
- 44:02Speaker 1: so much better than the Vikings right now that they
- 44:04Speaker 1: should be laying points on the road. I don't really
- 44:07Speaker 1: see it. So we're gonna grab the Vikings for all
- 44:09Speaker 1: those reasons. Man. You know, the bounce back spot a
- 44:13Speaker 1: letdown spot for Washington, I think. And the worst reverse injured,
- 44:17Speaker 1: the worst reverse the worst reverse injured player spot is
- 44:21Speaker 1: the side that Washington is in. So yeah, yeah, the
- 44:25Speaker 1: Washington Engines. Yeah, the Vikings, Yeah, they're gonna have to
- 44:29Speaker 1: be the uh, the Somalian Pirates, all right. And then
- 44:32Speaker 1: the final game, I'm just gonna do it, man. On
- 44:35Speaker 1: Sunday night, We're gonna lay the points with the Kansas
- 44:37Speaker 1: City Chiefs minus three and a half. This has just
- 44:40Speaker 1: gotten too far, man, the Chiefs. We're getting live value
- 44:43Speaker 1: on the Chiefs here, and I know they're looking like
- 44:45Speaker 1: they're headed towards four. It's not much of a difference
- 44:47Speaker 1: here because I know these the timer has gone off there.
- 44:51Speaker 1: But Chiefs minus the points here, I could I could
- 44:53Speaker 1: turn it back on, I guess, or turn the timer off,
- 44:56Speaker 1: I mean, turn the banner back on. I hate, dude,
- 44:58Speaker 1: I hate a streamyard does this now? I think I
- 45:01Speaker 1: did have it off for the other one. I just
- 45:03Speaker 1: didn't have it off for this one, all right, Kansas
- 45:05Speaker 1: City three and a half four, I mean, hopefully not
- 45:08Speaker 1: too much of a difference between those two. But as
- 45:10Speaker 1: you can see, the look ahead in this game is
- 45:11Speaker 1: gonna be five and a half for the Chiefs. And now, basically,
- 45:14Speaker 1: just based off of what these teams did last week,
- 45:16Speaker 1: we're getting three and a half. So we're getting live
- 45:19Speaker 1: value on the Chiefs. Man, a team that's pretty good,
- 45:22Speaker 1: like the Chiefs getting live value like this, and pretty
- 45:26Speaker 1: much their season is kind of on the line here, man.
- 45:28Speaker 1: I know, I don't like to take teams in like
- 45:30Speaker 1: must win scenarios earlier when they're laying a favorite price
- 45:33Speaker 1: like this, but it's a short price, and I think
- 45:37Speaker 1: you're gonna see the Chiefs show up here, man, And
- 45:39Speaker 1: the public doesn't really want them based on what they've
- 45:41Speaker 1: seen recently, fifty one percent of tickets on the Texans,
- 45:44Speaker 1: sixty percent of the cash on the Chiefs. I think
- 45:47Speaker 1: the Chiefs are still the better team, man, and they're
- 45:49Speaker 1: basically getting a little bit more than home field here
- 45:52Speaker 1: at most. I think they should be a heavier favorite
- 45:55Speaker 1: than this last year in the playoffs. These two teams
- 45:57Speaker 1: faced off, and there were pretty similar teams last year, right,
- 46:00Speaker 1: Texans Chiefs, and the Chiefs were what were they like,
- 46:03Speaker 1: a nine point favorite I think in that game. So
- 46:07Speaker 1: I think you were definitely getting live value here. I'm
- 46:09Speaker 1: not saying they should be a nine point favorite this year.
- 46:11Speaker 1: They're not really as good this year, I don't think,
- 46:13Speaker 1: but the personnel is pretty similar. And again, yeah, I
- 46:17Speaker 1: think the five and a half would be about fair
- 46:19Speaker 1: in this one. Yes, I know, speaking of the playoffs,
- 46:21Speaker 1: it is playoff revenge for the Texans. Technically, the Chiefs
- 46:25Speaker 1: knocked them out of the playoffs. I think maybe two
- 46:27Speaker 1: years in a row the Chiefs knocked them out of
- 46:28Speaker 1: the playoffs. But this game, it just matters more to
- 46:32Speaker 1: the Chiefs man, I mean for the Texans. Both these
- 46:36Speaker 1: teams are fighting for wildcard positioning potentially, but the Texans
- 46:40Speaker 1: they can get into the playoffs by winning their division
- 46:42Speaker 1: as well. The Chiefs do not have that option. So
- 46:45Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I think They're gonna have more motivation here
- 46:48Speaker 1: because the Chiefs need to beat some of these wildcard
- 46:51Speaker 1: potential opponents. Here. The Chiefs already lost to Buffalo, so
- 46:55Speaker 1: that's not gonna help them. So that's a bad situation
- 46:58Speaker 1: for the Chiefs that they don't have the the tiebreaker
- 47:01Speaker 1: against Buffalo now because they lost that. I think the
- 47:04Speaker 1: Chiefs did lose the tiebreaker to another one of these
- 47:07Speaker 1: teams too, I forget which team, but they got to
- 47:09Speaker 1: get it done. Man. They cannot lose the tiebreaker to
- 47:12Speaker 1: the Texans as well. Texans again, they could still win
- 47:15Speaker 1: their division to it. They have divisional matchups remaining as
- 47:18Speaker 1: well against well. I don't think they can play Jacksonville
- 47:21Speaker 1: again though, but they could still just overtake teams in
- 47:25Speaker 1: their division. The Chiefs. Again, they can't catch Denver, so
- 47:28Speaker 1: the Chiefs need to beat these wildcard teams. And if
- 47:31Speaker 1: the Chiefs lose this game and fall below five hundred,
- 47:35Speaker 1: they're pretty much not gonna make the playoffs here. So
- 47:39Speaker 1: I know sometimes I say you shouldn't do it because
- 47:41Speaker 1: there's pressure on that team, but again, what I think
- 47:45Speaker 1: is a very very cheap price, We're gonna do it.
- 47:48Speaker 1: Chiefs also have extra rest, and they didn't look good.
- 47:51Speaker 1: People saw them on Thursday and they lost to Dallas,
- 47:54Speaker 1: so I thought they would win that game. But they
- 47:57Speaker 1: were coming up a decent win over Indy, So the
- 47:59Speaker 1: Chiefs you have a tiebreaker against Indy were Indie to
- 48:03Speaker 1: fall into the wildcard race, So that's at least good
- 48:07Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. For the Chiefs, I think a road
- 48:09Speaker 1: out of conference game just didn't matter as much to
- 48:11Speaker 1: the Chiefs, man, and they fell short against Dallas. But
- 48:14Speaker 1: now everybody saw the Chiefs lose. The Chiefs haven't looked good.
- 48:17Speaker 1: They've lost three out of four and yeah, and now
- 48:22Speaker 1: they do have extra time off though, so again they
- 48:24Speaker 1: have more rest here, which I think is good. And
- 48:26Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, what else are they gonna say? Oh yeah,
- 48:30Speaker 1: I mean looking at the recent losses, I mean their
- 48:32Speaker 1: losses were to Buffalo, Denver and then Dallas was the
- 48:35Speaker 1: ugliest one of the three. I mean, you can't really
- 48:37Speaker 1: blame them for losing those games. And they're all on
- 48:39Speaker 1: the road too. So I saw that the Chiefs are
- 48:41Speaker 1: a bad team, and they faced a very difficult schedule.
- 48:44Speaker 1: I mean, look at their schedule this year. They played
- 48:47Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Ravens, which Lamar Jackson got hurt in
- 48:51Speaker 1: the middle of that game, the Eagles, the Lions. They've
- 48:54Speaker 1: played some difficult teams, man. So the Chiefs, they're undervalue here.
- 48:58Speaker 1: They're not as bad as the record. Look, they're also
- 49:00Speaker 1: five and one at home. You're getting the Chiefs at
- 49:02Speaker 1: home where they do play a lot better. They win
- 49:05Speaker 1: at home. Man, they did lose back at home against Philadelphia,
- 49:09Speaker 1: But since then, I mean, what have they done. They
- 49:11Speaker 1: won un covered at home against Baltimore, one un covered
- 49:14Speaker 1: at home against Detroit, one uncovered at home against the Raiders,
- 49:17Speaker 1: one uncovered at home against Washington. So that's what four? Yeah,
- 49:24Speaker 1: four straight wins and covers and five straight wins at home,
- 49:28Speaker 1: and they just missed the cover against Indy. So they're
- 49:31Speaker 1: much much better at home for Houston. Houston doesn't have
- 49:35Speaker 1: the additional rest and they're coming off multiple huge wins. Man,
- 49:38Speaker 1: they beat Buffalo, which was huge for wildcard implications, but
- 49:43Speaker 1: huge win nonetheless at home in primetime on a Thursday.
- 49:46Speaker 1: We got the win on that on the show. And
- 49:48Speaker 1: then Houston they really needed the game against Indy to
- 49:51Speaker 1: get back into the divisional race, and they were able
- 49:53Speaker 1: to do it, even though it was Stroud's return last week.
- 49:56Speaker 1: That was a huge win for Houston too. So now
- 49:58Speaker 1: they're coming off playing on Sunday, so they have a
- 50:01Speaker 1: shorter week here. Than Kansas City does and winning a
- 50:04Speaker 1: huge divisional matchup on the road. Man, So I think
- 50:07Speaker 1: that makes this a bit of a bad spot, maybe
- 50:10Speaker 1: even a letdown spot for Houston here. And it's a
- 50:13Speaker 1: third road game in four weeks for Houston, which is
- 50:15Speaker 1: also not great. Playing all these road games could start
- 50:19Speaker 1: to take its toll a little bit. And we're also
- 50:22Speaker 1: looking at the fact that this is an arrowhead at night,
- 50:25Speaker 1: so the weather may become a factor here. Man, this
- 50:28Speaker 1: is a freezing temperature game twenty six degrees And C. J.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Stroud doesn't play in environments like this very often. And
- 50:35Speaker 1: I know people say, oh, but he played at Ohio State. Yeah,
- 50:38Speaker 1: but college they don't play like this deep into the season.
- 50:42Speaker 1: I know college is still going on right now, but
- 50:44Speaker 1: still they don't really play cold weather games in college
- 50:47Speaker 1: like this. Stroud, by the way, in cold weather games,
- 50:50Speaker 1: he's done it twice. I checked it out. Actually, we
- 50:54Speaker 1: can actually look at Houston the last couple of years here.
- 50:58Speaker 1: By the way, Yes, I do know Stroud has second
- 51:00Speaker 1: game back. Yes, usually teams do play better in the
- 51:03Speaker 1: game with their quarterback back for the second game back.
- 51:06Speaker 1: But Davis Mills was filling in really well. For Stroud Man,
- 51:09Speaker 1: So I don't even know how much of them an
- 51:11Speaker 1: upgrade Stroud really is at this point. But if you
- 51:13Speaker 1: look at in the past, as I mentioned, they did
- 51:16Speaker 1: lose on the road to Kansas City in January and
- 51:20Speaker 1: cold temperatures. They did lose in December late December at
- 51:23Speaker 1: Kansas City by a similar margin also last year. So
- 51:27Speaker 1: it just seems like they don't do well in Arrowhead
- 51:29Speaker 1: Man Houston, Like I just think Kansas City kind of
- 51:31Speaker 1: has their number to some extent. And then the year
- 51:34Speaker 1: before that, I went back and I looked at Stroud's
- 51:36Speaker 1: road December games outdoors, and there was only one other
- 51:41Speaker 1: one and it was earlier in December two years ago
- 51:44Speaker 1: in his rookie season, which was his best season. They
- 51:47Speaker 1: got destroyed by the New York Jets thirty to six
- 51:50Speaker 1: on the road by the Jets. Yes, and Stroud only
- 51:54Speaker 1: had ninety one passing yards in that game. So really
- 51:58Speaker 1: really ugly stuff man Stroud in December and onward when
- 52:02Speaker 1: Stroud has to go and play in cold weather environments
- 52:04Speaker 1: on the road, I believe he is owned three owned
- 52:09Speaker 1: four What did I determine there? Something like that including playoffs. Yeah,
- 52:15Speaker 1: so actually one of the games is in the well.
- 52:17Speaker 1: The other one was on the in Baltimore January twentieth,
- 52:21Speaker 1: Baltimore in the playoffs the year before that. So yeah,
- 52:24Speaker 1: cold weather games for Stroud. So basically from December onward outdoors.
- 52:29Speaker 1: He's owned four in these games in his NFL career,
- 52:32Speaker 1: and his team did not cover any of them and
- 52:36Speaker 1: they lost by like a decent margin in all of them.
- 52:39Speaker 1: So I don't like it, man, I don't like Stroud
- 52:41Speaker 1: going outdoors. We're gonna do it. We're gonna lay the
- 52:44Speaker 1: points of the Chiefs, and I think that's it. That's
- 52:47Speaker 1: the breakdown for that. That's gonna do it. Taylor Swift
- 52:52Speaker 1: are bad Bunny, Taylor Swift. I would rather have Taylor Swift, yeah,
- 53:00Speaker 1: I mean, she's at least more, she's at least American. Man.
- 53:05Speaker 1: Uh so that yeah, I would go Taylor Swift for sure.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Even though her music is garbage, it's at least I mean,
- 53:12Speaker 1: her music is less demonic at least really, although it's
- 53:16Speaker 1: mostly just about like I don't know x'es and whatever
- 53:18Speaker 1: as far as I know, I don't know. I don't
- 53:20Speaker 1: really listen to them. But bad Bunny, it's gonna be
- 53:22Speaker 1: some real like demonic stuff. Man. Yeah, yeah, that too.
- 53:27Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it. Man. My plays for
- 53:29Speaker 1: tomorrow for the NFL or Minnesota plus the points and
- 53:32Speaker 1: Kansas City minus the points. Let's get it. I'll be
- 53:36Speaker 1: back in the morning. We got some Uh, there's a
- 53:38Speaker 1: little bit of college basketball tomorrow and probably a little
- 53:40Speaker 1: bit of NBA and NHL and tomorrow night. I believe
- 53:44Speaker 1: I'll be back. I don't know what I'm gonna do, man,
- 53:46Speaker 1: because I was thinking, like, should I do like a
- 53:48Speaker 1: bowl special? But I don't even know if I should
- 53:50Speaker 1: do that, because like it's it almost doesn't even make
- 53:54Speaker 1: sense to start talking about the Bulls right away because
- 53:57Speaker 1: like so much news comes out later. So I always
- 53:59Speaker 1: talk about the Bowls on the day that they're played.
- 54:01Speaker 1: But it almost makes sense to just do it that way,
- 54:04Speaker 1: even though I know the lines move a ton sometimes
- 54:08Speaker 1: like from like the outset and you miss like line value.
- 54:11Speaker 1: But sometimes it's because the information is just not out
- 54:14Speaker 1: there yet, and then later it's like, oh, this team
- 54:17Speaker 1: is just not even gonna show up for this bowl, now,
- 54:19Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So I will do a
- 54:22Speaker 1: playoff college football playoff bracket special, though I will definitely
- 54:26Speaker 1: do that either tomorrow night or like Monday, so I'll
- 54:30Speaker 1: come back and do that. But yeah, so we we'll
- 54:34Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, Bowl previews. I just can't do it. Man,
- 54:38Speaker 1: they're gonna be again, it's gonna be like forty bowls
- 54:41Speaker 1: and like again, you don't even know who's gonna be
- 54:44Speaker 1: playing in half of them until like closer to when
- 54:47Speaker 1: the game goes. So I just don't think it's like
- 54:49Speaker 1: feasible and it would and it would be like a
- 54:51Speaker 1: three hour show for almost no reason, Thank you, sir. Yeah, Uh,

- 56:17Speaker 1: got to clean that up, but I had fun. And
- 56:20Speaker 1: then tomorrow the first episode of My Giants podcast with
- 56:25Speaker 1: Ben the Emo Ankap, who is a big Giants fan
- 56:28Speaker 1: and I am a Dart fan and I'm at least
- 56:30Speaker 1: a fan of When the Giants beat the Patriots, when
- 56:32Speaker 1: I hated the Patriots, although I now don't really hate
- 56:35Speaker 1: the Patriots in their current regime because it's being anti
- 56:38Speaker 1: Belichick to be pro Patriots. Right now, I'm patriotic again, man.
- 56:44Speaker 1: But yes, it's called the G Spot, which was my
- 56:47Speaker 1: idea to call it, to call it that the spot
- 56:50Speaker 1: for all the Giants things, and we're the homies hang
- 56:52Speaker 1: out the G Spot for the G Men. So we'll
- 56:57Speaker 1: see how that episode goes. It's a bye for the Giants.
- 57:00Speaker 1: So oh, I forgot to mention that. Yeah, there are
- 57:02Speaker 1: four teams on buy this week and they're New England, Carolina,
- 57:06Speaker 1: the Giants, and I don't even remember who the other
- 57:09Speaker 1: team is on by this week, but nobody had to
- 57:11Speaker 1: buy last week. San Francisco is the other team on bye.
- 57:15Speaker 1: And this is the last week of byes so and
- 57:19Speaker 1: not the last week of Gays. But yes, be on
- 57:23Speaker 1: the lookout for the G Spot. Man. That'll be the
- 57:26Speaker 1: Giant Podcast with me and Ben and we'll see what happens.
- 57:29Speaker 1: And Adam Nutter will be jealous of us. Maybe we'll
- 57:32Speaker 1: start letting him on. I don't know, I'm straight g's Yeah, Dave,
- 57:36Speaker 1: what's up? Man? You caught me just in time because
- 57:38Speaker 1: I'm wrapping up the show here. Yeah, I mean you
- 57:41Speaker 1: can go back and see my more full fledged analysis
- 57:44Speaker 1: on it. But I like the Packers. I would lay
- 57:46Speaker 1: the points to the but you know, dude, I hate
- 57:48Speaker 1: the bayle I don't hate the Bears as a team,
- 57:52Speaker 1: like Okay, like everybody thinks that that's the case, but no,
- 57:56Speaker 1: Like I just think that they're the most overrated NFL
- 57:59Speaker 1: team that I've ever seen. And I don't think Cale
- 58:01Speaker 1: Williams is any good. I think the Wheels are just
- 58:03Speaker 1: gonna come off of the team at some point, man.
- 58:06Speaker 1: And just again, now they're coming off like their biggest win,
- 58:09Speaker 1: like a win where they actually got a legit win
- 58:12Speaker 1: against the legit team, the Eagles. I just don't see
- 58:15Speaker 1: them repeating that again. I like the Packers in that game.
- 58:18Speaker 1: If you can lay less than a touchdown on it,
- 58:21Speaker 1: I like it. And yeah, that's gonna do it. And
- 58:24Speaker 1: for Dave once again, Vikings plus the points and Kansas
- 58:28Speaker 1: City minus the points are my actual plays here that
- 58:31Speaker 1: I'm giving out on the show. Vikings are also a
- 58:33Speaker 1: good teaser piece because they're at plus one and a half,
- 58:36Speaker 1: so you can tease them up to seven and a half.
- 58:39Speaker 1: I don't hate that idea either. But the problem is
- 58:41Speaker 1: you gotta find a team to tease them with, and like,
- 58:43Speaker 1: who do you tease them with? The Buccaneers basically got
- 58:46Speaker 1: teaser killed up to nines, you can't really tease them anymore.
- 58:51Speaker 1: You could tease the Jaguars. That might not be a
- 58:54Speaker 1: bad idea, teasing the Jags up to US seven and
- 58:57Speaker 1: a half because, as I on a two teams six
- 58:59Speaker 1: point t because like I said, the Colts have not
- 59:02Speaker 1: won in Jacksonville for eleven years, so maybe that's a
- 59:06Speaker 1: way to look in that one as well. Maybe that
- 59:08Speaker 1: would be the teaser. I don't really do teasers, but
- 59:11Speaker 1: the last one I recommended was a winner, so I
- 59:13Speaker 1: think if I was gonna do any sort of teaser here,
- 59:16Speaker 1: maybe that would be it. I mean, I suppose if
- 59:20Speaker 1: you're looking at the Jets plus two and a half,
- 59:21Speaker 1: you could tease them up to plus eight and a
- 59:23Speaker 1: half as well. I mean eight and a half Dolphins
- 59:26Speaker 1: on the road just seems just like there's no way
- 59:29Speaker 1: that they would be able to cover that, So maybe
- 59:32Speaker 1: that would be an idea as well. You could also
- 59:35Speaker 1: tease the Broncos down just to win the game. I mean,
- 59:38Speaker 1: they're probably not gonna lose that game, so there is
- 59:41Speaker 1: that as well, so some ideas there, but I like
- 59:44Speaker 1: Minnesota just win the game anyway, so that's gonna do it.
- 59:47Speaker 1: I appreciate it guys, Thanks again for hanging out everybody,
- 59:51Speaker 1: and I'll be back in the morning. Peace,
