- 1:26Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I am Chad Milman, Massive Massive Show. Today. It is Tuesday.
- 1:34Speaker 1: It is the day we go through the full slate,
- 1:36Speaker 1: talk about every single game. Me and my bff, my companion,
- 1:40Speaker 1: Michael Padre, Professional Better, Mr Simon Hunter. Hello, Chad. Listen,
- 1:47Speaker 1: we just had our longest prep meeting ever, our pre
- 1:51Speaker 1: show meeting. Matt Mitchell gave us so many notes for
- 1:55Speaker 1: the rundown, almost all of it prompted by feedback from fans.
- 1:59Speaker 1: As I have said, feedback is a gift. We love
- 2:01Speaker 1: getting it. Reminder, we're going to run through the full slate.
- 2:04Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about our Simon says, Bet, We're gonna
- 2:07Speaker 1: probably get to a foxhole, will probably do big balls
- 2:10Speaker 1: bet on Thursday, when we narrow down the slate, we
- 2:13Speaker 1: will do scooch Roulette. A couple of things that people
- 2:17Speaker 1: really waited on. I said a couple of weeks ago.
- 2:19Speaker 1: People said they didn't like having Tina our voice of scheduling.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are back on their bullshit. I said, if
- 2:28Speaker 1: the silent majority speaks up, she'll come back. The silent
- 2:31Speaker 1: majority has spoken. Most of you get that. Tina is
- 2:35Speaker 1: there to tell you what the next game is. She's
- 2:38Speaker 1: the traffic cop. People like her, they want her. I've
- 2:40Speaker 1: gotten a lot of personal d ms about it. We're
- 2:42Speaker 1: bringing Tina back. Let's do this number two. People have
- 2:47Speaker 1: asked a lot about the show Convinced Me that we
- 2:49Speaker 1: reference on the podcast. Convinced Me is a live show.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It is not a podcast. It is a live show
- 2:55Speaker 1: that we do on the Action Network HQ Twitter handle
- 2:58Speaker 1: and on the Action Network YouTube page on Sunday mornings
- 3:02Speaker 1: at eleven a m. Eastern. It's me, it's Simon, it's
- 3:05Speaker 1: other Action Network experts, Sean Kroner and Chris Raybon. The
- 3:09Speaker 1: three of them try to convince me, Chad, what bets
- 3:11Speaker 1: I should make that day, what player prop, what side
- 3:14Speaker 1: I should make, and what total I should make. The
- 3:15Speaker 1: three of them compete. I make the choice based on
- 3:18Speaker 1: their analysis. It's a really fun show. It's thirty minutes,
- 3:21Speaker 1: not a podcast. Live show you can only get at
- 3:24Speaker 1: eleven am and after you can get it through the
- 3:26Speaker 1: rest of the day. That's two. A lot of people
- 3:29Speaker 1: were getting tired of the Mike Tomlin drops. What not
- 3:33Speaker 1: that they don't like them, they just want a new one.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell has spent hours bringing in new Tomlin drops.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed them. That's right, Chad. I actually
- 3:41Speaker 1: spoke to coach Mike Tomlin about this. I told him
- 3:43Speaker 1: that our listeners thought that he had lost his edge
- 3:47Speaker 1: and that his clips were redundant and weren't fun anymore.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say about that. So be it.
- 3:54Speaker 1: We set responsibility for that. We will not go gently.
- 3:57Speaker 1: We're gonna unleash hell here in December. We're gonna go
- 3:59Speaker 1: into a mode because we have to, because that's what's required.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Let's three, Simon. If I'm missing anything, let me know. Three.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Our final picks. We're getting so many questions about our
- 4:11Speaker 1: final picks. What we do like for the five because
- 4:13Speaker 1: we'll talk about the full slate today, will narrow down
- 4:16Speaker 1: on Thursday Sunday morning, Simon and I choose our five.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I put those in the Action Network gap on Twitter.
- 4:21Speaker 1: You can download it for free, you can follow me,
- 4:23Speaker 1: you can get them. Simon also puts them out on Twitter,
- 4:27Speaker 1: so you can see him on Twitter, you can see
- 4:29Speaker 1: him in the app. What we are going to do,
- 4:31Speaker 1: because clearly we're not doing this right. We're going to
- 4:34Speaker 1: create a new handle, a new profile in the Action
- 4:37Speaker 1: Network app. Again downloaded for free. It's super easy. When
- 4:42Speaker 1: you've downloaded it. There's a little button at the bottom,
- 4:44Speaker 1: this is follow. We're going to create a handle that
- 4:47Speaker 1: says the faves five, the faves five. That's where we
- 4:53Speaker 1: will start putting our picks. Matt Mitchell, I blame you
- 4:55Speaker 1: bad producing. We should have done that from the very
- 4:58Speaker 1: beginning of the year. We'll see you guys in the
- 5:00Speaker 1: September September. I don't know what the funk you were thinking. Finally,
- 5:04Speaker 1: let's do a quick review of what happened this past
- 5:06Speaker 1: weekend because it was consequential one of your five big
- 5:11Speaker 1: bets of the year. Well, Los Angeles Chargers plus three
- 5:14Speaker 1: and a half. There wasn't a moment in that game
- 5:17Speaker 1: where I didn't think the Chargers were going to cover
- 5:19Speaker 1: that game until over time. They were just the better team.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Like the entire game, they were doing better things. I
- 5:27Speaker 1: was a little worried after that kickoff when they didn't score.
- 5:30Speaker 1: It seemed like they're play calling like inside the five.
- 5:34Speaker 1: They became a different team, and that was frustrating. We
- 5:36Speaker 1: haven't talked about it at all. I did not want it.
- 5:38Speaker 1: We didn't text about it, we didn't slack about it.
- 5:41Speaker 1: We didn't talk about it on Sunday. We have not
- 5:44Speaker 1: discussed it. This town is a make you town is
- 5:50Speaker 1: a break you down? Yeah, buddy, holy ship upsetting. I
- 5:56Speaker 1: don't even know. I still have to say, like, I
- 6:00Speaker 1: wish I didn't bet. I really do. I wish this
- 6:01Speaker 1: was a fictional show that I didn't place real money,
- 6:05Speaker 1: because that was just a kick kick in the face.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've had a few times in my
- 6:10Speaker 1: life I had other people reach out to me after
- 6:12Speaker 1: a bet and make sure I'm okay. I feel like
- 6:14Speaker 1: I got flooded with people like I was like on
- 6:16Speaker 1: suicide wash and it wasn't even that bad. It was
- 6:18Speaker 1: just like stunned. Every time someone says analytics and angel
- 6:23Speaker 1: loses its wings. And I'm not a huge social media
- 6:26Speaker 1: person in the first place, but there are certain words
- 6:28Speaker 1: I'll just blacklist, and I added that to the list.
- 6:31Speaker 1: That's my mute. I muted the word on Twitter because
- 6:33Speaker 1: I just can't take it anymore. I am all about analytics.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I'm all about the math. Like I think that's the
- 6:38Speaker 1: biggest thing they've added to football is that's that's how
- 6:41Speaker 1: you win games. The Eagle Super Bowl run with Doug Peterson,
- 6:44Speaker 1: we won because analytics. He was going from fourth downs,
- 6:47Speaker 1: but he wasn't going for it every fourth down. And
- 6:51Speaker 1: you can say which you want about that. The Chargers game,
- 6:53Speaker 1: there is no analytics in the world you can find that.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Before halftime. You don't kick a field goal there. You
- 6:59Speaker 1: have the ball all the other in the chief's territory.
- 7:03Speaker 1: If you kick a field goal, you're up seven for
- 7:05Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's a key number seven. There is no
- 7:08Speaker 1: field position there. It's before halftime. Okay, it's not as
- 7:11Speaker 1: if you miss the field goal, it doesn't matter that
- 7:13Speaker 1: the half's over. That's why you go for it on
- 7:16Speaker 1: fourth down because you're already pinning the team back defensively.
- 7:19Speaker 1: So that means, yeah, if it's the middle of the
- 7:21Speaker 1: third quarter, go for it on fourth down. If it's
- 7:23Speaker 1: fourth and two at the two, yes, I mean it
- 7:26Speaker 1: still makes me sick to my start thinking about it.
- 7:27Speaker 1: But that's what's being a pro is I chased horribly
- 7:30Speaker 1: on Saturday, and I got all the money back, thank god.
- 7:32Speaker 1: But it was all rage bet Like I told you
- 7:34Speaker 1: guys on I think it was Friday, A professional I
- 7:36Speaker 1: knew was betting you a B which is some college
- 7:38Speaker 1: football game. So I bet that took all the winnings,
- 7:41Speaker 1: put it on the Colts, and it was just pure
- 7:43Speaker 1: funk the system, funck the public, like these assholes are
- 7:46Speaker 1: giving me my money back, and I would just bummed
- 7:48Speaker 1: out because again, like you know it is we do
- 7:50Speaker 1: this show, I'm giving out the clients. It's just a
- 7:52Speaker 1: lot of people are relying on my info and in
- 7:54Speaker 1: and this is like that where you're feeling good the
- 7:57Speaker 1: entire game. It's it's the worst feeling. Clear. We we
- 8:00Speaker 1: bury it. We move on. But no, I'm I'm probably
- 8:02Speaker 1: gonna spend another hundred k on therapy trying to get
- 8:04Speaker 1: over that game. We did. We we did bury it.
- 8:07Speaker 1: And I also, like you, look, if if if the
- 8:11Speaker 1: Chargers had gotten blown out in that game, I would
- 8:13Speaker 1: feel bad. But the Chargers were in that game, and
- 8:16Speaker 1: we got burned by sort of really outside the lane,
- 8:20Speaker 1: thinking that even for a game in which we expect
- 8:23Speaker 1: outside the lane, thinking it was outside those lanes. I
- 8:26Speaker 1: like you. I bet the Colts heavy at two and
- 8:29Speaker 1: a half. I bet it. I made my money back.
- 8:32Speaker 1: We had Indian Contest, we had the Chargers the next day.
- 8:36Speaker 1: We had Denver in Atlanta. That didn't work out for us.
- 8:39Speaker 1: We did have Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh whom after the show convinced me.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I already had him at plus one and a half.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I bet him on the money line before the game,
- 8:48Speaker 1: and then when they were downten nothing, I bet him
- 8:50Speaker 1: at plus two hundred of the money line. So what
- 8:53Speaker 1: do you think of that, Simon? I was scared, honestly,
- 8:57Speaker 1: when they were down ten, I was like, oh my god,
- 8:59Speaker 1: I would They finished with a hundred and fifty yards total.
- 9:02Speaker 1: But we got to cover. That's all that matters. But
- 9:04Speaker 1: that's the classic. We didn't deserve it, but Tannehill gave
- 9:07Speaker 1: us what was a four turnovers kind of a gift
- 9:09Speaker 1: day Tennessee to just really gave away that game. Forget
- 9:12Speaker 1: the opponent, the nameless great faces. Yeah it was it
- 9:16Speaker 1: was rough. Of course, I gave it all back when
- 9:18Speaker 1: I bet the Packers minus three and a half, and
- 9:21Speaker 1: so that was kind of a kick in the Dick
- 9:23Speaker 1: the way they lost that game, so it ended up
- 9:25Speaker 1: being a pretty ugly day for me. A couple of
- 9:27Speaker 1: quick things to review. We're going to get to the show.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Last week, our foxhold bet was the Colts are Simon says,
- 9:32Speaker 1: bet was Atlanta. Scoot Roulette for Simon was the Colt
- 9:36Speaker 1: was for me? For me, it was the Falcons. So Simon,
- 9:39Speaker 1: you want Scott. I'm dominating in Scoot like you don't
- 9:42Speaker 1: want to know that record yet. Speaking of Scoot Roulette,
- 9:46Speaker 1: we may or may not have a special guest for
- 9:48Speaker 1: our last show of the calendar year. I'm just saying guests. Yeah,
- 9:58Speaker 1: and what's the exact day? Is the THIRTI big all right,
- 10:03Speaker 1: very quickly, very very quickly. We're going against all the
- 10:06Speaker 1: rules that Matt Mitchell told this pre show, which was
- 10:08Speaker 1: just be tight before you get to the games. Uh.
- 10:10Speaker 1: It is Tuesday afternoon. We're recording this. About five people
- 10:14Speaker 1: will listen to this show before the Washington football team
- 10:17Speaker 1: and the Eagles play, and before the Rams and the
- 10:20Speaker 1: Seahawks play. Do you have any thoughts on those games
- 10:23Speaker 1: right now tonight? YEP. If you for listening to this
- 10:26Speaker 1: and you're lucky enough, take Washington Football team first half
- 10:29Speaker 1: money line Worlands spread, Eagles coming off not playing any
- 10:32Speaker 1: games for over fourteen days now because they've been on
- 10:34Speaker 1: a bye week. Then the game I pushed to Tuesday, long,
- 10:38Speaker 1: long layout for an Eagles team, and they're getting good
- 10:40Speaker 1: value now in Washington football team, they're having a third
- 10:42Speaker 1: shrink quarterback coming and play for them, So to me,
- 10:44Speaker 1: this will be a sloppy first half. I'd either take
- 10:46Speaker 1: the under or just take the money line with Washington
- 10:48Speaker 1: football team trying to get a little lucky. Um. Not
- 10:51Speaker 1: a great read on that. Then the Rams Seahawks game, Like,
- 10:54Speaker 1: deep down, I wanted to just take the Seahawks. I
- 10:56Speaker 1: think you're getting a good number divisional matchup. But again
- 10:58Speaker 1: we're all talk about it's just so to predict anything
- 11:00Speaker 1: with all this crapping on the COVID, so I don't
- 11:03Speaker 1: know professional in me, it's like one of these dogs
- 11:05Speaker 1: have to cover. I would take the Seahawks here at
- 11:08Speaker 1: that number. That's a big number for this divisional matchup
- 11:10Speaker 1: and it's still Russell Wilson. Alright, Tina, welcome back from exile.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Who do we go first? San Francisco forty Niners at
- 11:19Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. This can't be right. Forty Niners on the
- 11:23Speaker 1: road three and a half point favorites against the Titans.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Come on, I know this is like the Chargers all
- 11:30Speaker 1: over again. Like, of course we're supposed to take Tennessee here. Yeah,
- 11:34Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. Probably one of the tougher teams in
- 11:38Speaker 1: all football. They're just a bruising team and they dominate
- 11:41Speaker 1: up front. And that's what's been huge for this fourty
- 11:43Speaker 1: Niners team. Is there one of the stronger teams on
- 11:45Speaker 1: offensive line and d line, and that's how they dominate
- 11:47Speaker 1: these teams to impose their will. I hate it. I
- 11:50Speaker 1: hate that we have to take Tennessee here. What we
- 11:51Speaker 1: do this is a classic. We're buying low in Tennessee.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I make this line of pick the fact again, three
- 11:57Speaker 1: and a half points. It's it's crazy, it's the hype
- 12:01Speaker 1: is as as you can get. Atlanta gave away that
- 12:03Speaker 1: game slash cover. They were I believe, over sixteen inside
- 12:08Speaker 1: the five yard line. Like again, let's let's process that
- 12:11Speaker 1: they got in there four times, it came away with
- 12:14Speaker 1: zero points inside the five yard line. WHOA, that's you
- 12:18Speaker 1: can't really depend on those kind of things. Especially with
- 12:21Speaker 1: this Tennessee team. They just had arguing one of their
- 12:23Speaker 1: worst games of the year against Pittsburgh that was completely
- 12:25Speaker 1: meltdown by them. Now they're coming home short weeks, are
- 12:29Speaker 1: feeling great. I I don't know, like, of course we
- 12:33Speaker 1: have to take Kindnessee. But if I'm gonna am I
- 12:34Speaker 1: gonna make this one of our five. I don't know, Chad,
- 12:36Speaker 1: but love love Tennessee. Here has to take this number
- 12:40Speaker 1: every time immediately. This is bright red siren inflamed. Take this.
- 12:48Speaker 1: This is crazy. The Titans defense is so much better
- 12:52Speaker 1: than we thought they were earlier in the year. The
- 12:55Speaker 1: Ford Niners are a very physical team that have also
- 12:59Speaker 1: been benefiting from having some pretty bad defenses, and this
- 13:02Speaker 1: is not a team that you can sort of make
- 13:04Speaker 1: mistakes against. The Times are getting a little bit healthier
- 13:07Speaker 1: at their skill positions. People say I'm too low in
- 13:09Speaker 1: the forty Niners. I get it. They're they're healthy, They're
- 13:12Speaker 1: clicking on all the cylinders here. But if you go
- 13:14Speaker 1: up by just the math, you're basing off the math
- 13:16Speaker 1: offline movement and adjustment and what the public is gonna do.
- 13:19Speaker 1: You're probably gotta bet in chance of covering this number. Blindly.
- 13:23Speaker 1: So that means you're already slanted towards taking this Tennessee team,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and we look at the data, it's probably gonna even
- 13:29Speaker 1: bumped that number up even more. So it's hard to
- 13:31Speaker 1: pass on this one. But I just don't know if
- 13:33Speaker 1: I can make it one of our five right now.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers. This line is escalated
- 13:40Speaker 1: a bit. Packers minus seven. Browns made a show last
- 13:45Speaker 1: night against the against the Las Vegas Raiders. Nick mullins,
- 13:52Speaker 1: he really looked, you know, serviceable and showed some heart
- 13:55Speaker 1: with that team exactly. It's I mean, there's no there's
- 14:06Speaker 1: nothing we can really do. That's that's the problem with
- 14:08Speaker 1: this season. It's like all this COVID stuff. I mean,
- 14:11Speaker 1: the worst one to me, my biggest miss last week
- 14:13Speaker 1: had to have been that Saints one. We always love
- 14:16Speaker 1: taking the Saints. We love fading Brady and the Sean Bred.
- 14:19Speaker 1: The Champagne being out was what just spooked me completely.
- 14:21Speaker 1: And it's like once again I got due by COVID.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It was it did not matter, not nothing mattered. Again.
- 14:27Speaker 1: The reason we should have taken that game was just
- 14:28Speaker 1: the defensive matchup, how they match up against Stampus. So
- 14:31Speaker 1: that's what's hard with the reading these ones. It's like
- 14:33Speaker 1: those are big misses, this Browns one. If it was
- 14:37Speaker 1: a normal year, I'd be all over the Browns, but
- 14:39Speaker 1: because of everything going with COVID, it makes me want
- 14:41Speaker 1: to go towards Green Bay. They're the healthier team. They've
- 14:44Speaker 1: been practicing the last couple of weeks together. That's the thing.
- 14:47Speaker 1: People again, these Brown's players haven't been practicing, They've just
- 14:49Speaker 1: been sitting out. They can't come into the facility. So yeah,
- 14:52Speaker 1: it's like, maybe I'll change once we maybe next show.
- 14:56Speaker 1: But as we sit here on Tuesday with limited information
- 14:58Speaker 1: we have and I don't really know, like if it's
- 15:00Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, Aaron Rodgers or case key members Aaron Rodgers
- 15:04Speaker 1: and Lambeau. Yeah, I'm I'm taking Aaron Rodgers. And it's
- 15:08Speaker 1: funny we're sitting here late December. We we joked off
- 15:11Speaker 1: somewhere about it, Chad one. That's what the Green Bay
- 15:14Speaker 1: was to win the Super Bowl one, and that was
- 15:17Speaker 1: all because of rumors about Rogers leaving. Now I think
- 15:20Speaker 1: they're what plus four fifty to win the Super Bowl,
- 15:22Speaker 1: So that's that's probably one of the few bets. I'm
- 15:25Speaker 1: gonna end up making good money on being able to
- 15:27Speaker 1: head you that out because we know they're gonna lose
- 15:29Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. That's what Green Bay does. But
- 15:32Speaker 1: right now you have to feel great if you have
- 15:33Speaker 1: one for this Green Bay team. Actually, I thought about
- 15:36Speaker 1: this the other night when they were up seventeen and
- 15:39Speaker 1: I was feeling really good, and they had the ball
- 15:41Speaker 1: on the thirty yard line of the Ravens, and I
- 15:43Speaker 1: had bet minus three and a half live, thinking I
- 15:47Speaker 1: m a live betting genius, and I had already in
- 15:50Speaker 1: my head reprogrammed how I'm betting going forward, which was
- 15:56Speaker 1: instead of feeling like I have to bet every game,
- 15:59Speaker 1: betting the game I feel most comfortable about with bigger
- 16:02Speaker 1: numbers and then adjusting those games live, especially if I
- 16:07Speaker 1: feel like the team that is better ends up down early,
- 16:10Speaker 1: because then all of a sudden, I'm just getting a
- 16:12Speaker 1: better number, and then the Packers regressed and all of
- 16:16Speaker 1: a sudden, for the first time all season, didn't cover
- 16:18Speaker 1: against the team with the backup quarterback and no defensive backs.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Now it's the never ending back doors Chad. Whatever side
- 16:23Speaker 1: we're on, I'm just assuming we're gonna get back door
- 16:25Speaker 1: now you can Alwa's coming. Doesn't it feel like we've
- 16:34Speaker 1: been playing from behind all year? Yeah, things just haven't
- 16:37Speaker 1: bounced our way. That's just gambling. I mean, you can
- 16:39Speaker 1: put all the work and all the all the time,
- 16:41Speaker 1: and you still need the ball to bounce your way.
- 16:43Speaker 1: And that's that's been It's been very humbling, humbling these
- 16:45Speaker 1: last couple of weeks where we're on the wrong side
- 16:48Speaker 1: of a lot of these ones, and a lot of
- 16:49Speaker 1: these ones that come down the final play um brutal,
- 16:52Speaker 1: especially like last night that bears they should have covered
- 16:55Speaker 1: that seven and they don't kick the extra point because
- 16:57Speaker 1: that rule and it's just like typical, typical of typical,
- 17:00Speaker 1: they don't push on that sudding. I do think it's
- 17:02Speaker 1: brought us closer. Yeah, this is when you say, I agree.
- 17:08Speaker 1: I agree. We've been in the foxhole. We haven't killed
- 17:11Speaker 1: each other, we haven't blamed each other, we haven't gotten
- 17:14Speaker 1: angry about it. We've made choices collectively individually, and it's
- 17:18Speaker 1: worked out like we're still buddies. No, it's the best.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Thank you for the olive oil. You're bet Indianapolis Cults
- 17:27Speaker 1: at Arizona Cardinals let's see, the Colts are one and
- 17:31Speaker 1: a half point underdogs on the road Arizona. Maybe their pick.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Maybe the Cardinals are pick. This is an interesting one.
- 17:40Speaker 1: This is an interesting one. Do you have a strong
- 17:43Speaker 1: opinion on this already? Of course it's the Colts. Tell
- 17:46Speaker 1: me why you think that? Well? Actually, surprisingly I love
- 17:50Speaker 1: the Arizona here, Cold Steam. It's inflated that the Cults
- 17:54Speaker 1: were plus three plus three and a half. Yeah, I'd
- 17:56Speaker 1: be all over them. But the fact that it's moved
- 17:58Speaker 1: down this number, it's the books are laying a trap. This.
- 18:01Speaker 1: This feels incredibly trappy, just like the Patriots felt against
- 18:05Speaker 1: this Cold Steam last week. Um, right now your book
- 18:09Speaker 1: you have one and a half, which means you can
- 18:10Speaker 1: tease us up to seven and a half. I just
- 18:12Speaker 1: can't see why they would be doing that. Same with
- 18:15Speaker 1: I felt with the Patriots last week. It kind of
- 18:17Speaker 1: felt like they knew people would be tasing these standalone games,
- 18:20Speaker 1: and they're giving you a number to get you across
- 18:23Speaker 1: a square number that like they know like someone especially
- 18:25Speaker 1: to me, if I see seven a half, I love
- 18:27Speaker 1: that number. The public even more so so when I
- 18:30Speaker 1: saw this line initially, I immediately saw trap Um, when
- 18:34Speaker 1: looked at the numbers, I made this line minus three
- 18:37Speaker 1: for the Cardinals. So I'm getting a point and a
- 18:38Speaker 1: half for the Cardinals. I'll take the value. But I
- 18:42Speaker 1: hate going against my cold steam because I don't know
- 18:44Speaker 1: if you remember, this is like my all end team
- 18:46Speaker 1: of this season. So I I'm just playing the position
- 18:50Speaker 1: the spots. The bookmakers had the Colts win in ten
- 18:53Speaker 1: wins before the season started and went all the way
- 18:55Speaker 1: down to eight seven and a half once Carson Wentz
- 18:57Speaker 1: got hurt to start the year. They lose this game,
- 19:00Speaker 1: they win there next to they'll finish the year tenant seven,
- 19:03Speaker 1: right where the bookmakers had. This just feels like a
- 19:06Speaker 1: scheduled boss for this Colts team, this kind of match up,
- 19:09Speaker 1: Arizona get embarrassed against the lines. I know Matt Mitchell
- 19:12Speaker 1: wants us to fade fade hard Kingsbury, but I can't
- 19:16Speaker 1: can't do in this position. Um, I'll either stay away,
- 19:19Speaker 1: I'll just take the Cardinals. Cliff Kingsbury, Well, it's interesting
- 19:25Speaker 1: because when I was first asked me the question and
- 19:28Speaker 1: you said the Colts, and then you said, actually I
- 19:31Speaker 1: love the Cardinals. Here this to me, purely thinking about
- 19:34Speaker 1: market logic was Cardinals, Cardinals, Cardinals. You got the Colts
- 19:39Speaker 1: beating the super hot everyone believes they're going to the
- 19:42Speaker 1: Super Bowl Patriots in prime time and holding them off
- 19:45Speaker 1: with a spectacular Jonathan Taylor run to really close the door,
- 19:49Speaker 1: and you got the Cardinals losing to the Lions. Like,
- 19:53Speaker 1: of course the Cardinals are going to be deflated. Of
- 19:56Speaker 1: course the Colts are going to be inflated. Of course
- 19:59Speaker 1: you're gonna go with the Cardinals in this game. Forget
- 20:02Speaker 1: about Cliff Kingsbury, forgot forget about DeAndre Hopkins dizzy playing
- 20:06Speaker 1: or not. You've got a team that all of a
- 20:08Speaker 1: sudden feels like it's season, might be spiraling, a really
- 20:12Speaker 1: good defense, and they're playing at home. They've actually been
- 20:15Speaker 1: bad at home. That's again, so there's a bunch of
- 20:17Speaker 1: little thing that's great about the Cardinal team there two
- 20:19Speaker 1: and four at home against the spread. Um, the biggest
- 20:23Speaker 1: things they might be broken. That's the biggest fear right
- 20:25Speaker 1: now is like they didn't look good against the Bears.
- 20:28Speaker 1: We were all on that. We said they got lucky
- 20:30Speaker 1: because all the short field Danny Dollon game to him.
- 20:32Speaker 1: They got dominated by the Rams again that game looks
- 20:34Speaker 1: closer on paper because they got that last touchdown the
- 20:37Speaker 1: very end of the game to make it was there.
- 20:40Speaker 1: They didn't look right in that game, and the Lions
- 20:42Speaker 1: game was wild. The Lions didn't have Swift or their
- 20:45Speaker 1: number one tight end, and they absolutely dominated this Cardinals team.
- 20:50Speaker 1: So for me, if if this wasn't such bad usual
- 20:52Speaker 1: with the Cardinals, this is no doubt would be either
- 20:54Speaker 1: my Simon says or foxhold bet Like I immediately this
- 20:57Speaker 1: one jumped off the paper to me. But the years
- 21:00Speaker 1: they're broken and we already don't like their head coach.
- 21:02Speaker 1: I mean, this is what we do. We fade this guy.
- 21:04Speaker 1: So I don't know what to think. Here is just
- 21:07Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but I just know that, I mean, they're
- 21:09Speaker 1: gonna be on the Cardinals or I'm just gonna pass
- 21:10Speaker 1: on this one. I know there's no chance I'll have
- 21:12Speaker 1: money on the Colts. It's funny when you say a
- 21:16Speaker 1: team is broken that that ascribes such an emotional element
- 21:24Speaker 1: to it. When I think of something that's broken like
- 21:28Speaker 1: the way you're describing it to me, it feels like
- 21:31Speaker 1: something that is broken emotionally. Yeah, that's what these analytic
- 21:37Speaker 1: little nerds don't get. This half of football is mental.
- 21:40Speaker 1: That's why these teams, like you just talked about that
- 21:43Speaker 1: Green Bay, they turned it off and they couldn't turn
- 21:45Speaker 1: it back on, so the Ravens were easily able to
- 21:47Speaker 1: come back on them. So we've seen the time and
- 21:49Speaker 1: time again with these football teams. These teams get these
- 21:51Speaker 1: big leads and they let them teams come back because
- 21:53Speaker 1: football is such a mental game. Momentum can flip so
- 21:57Speaker 1: easily in this kind of this sport, the way it's played.
- 21:59Speaker 1: So it's just bad juju taking the Cardinals right now?
- 22:02Speaker 1: Do you feel it too? Are you? Just like, No,
- 22:03Speaker 1: I'm not worried. I'm not worried. I think it's the
- 22:05Speaker 1: exact right spots. Take the Cardinals. Yeah, that's what I mean.
- 22:08Speaker 1: We have to either take it or pass. It's like
- 22:10Speaker 1: it's yeah, you can't take the Colts here. I'm taking
- 22:12Speaker 1: the emotion out of it, out of my decision making.
- 22:14Speaker 1: I don't disagree it's an emotional game players are playing it.
- 22:18Speaker 1: But for me, overrated, underrated, over inflated, under inflated, bad performance,
- 22:24Speaker 1: good performance, public loves it, public against it. That's checking
- 22:28Speaker 1: all the boxes. Matt Mitchell has reminded us in slack
- 22:31Speaker 1: that he he You know, he's the original fade Cliff Kingsbury.
- 22:35Speaker 1: He did a very funny video last year about how
- 22:38Speaker 1: much he hated Cliff Kingsbury the second half of the
- 22:40Speaker 1: year because he couldn't even win when he had Patrick
- 22:42Speaker 1: Mahomes of Texas Tech. Week ten of this year, Cliff
- 22:46Speaker 1: Kingsbury was beaten by Cam Newton, who has turned out
- 22:49Speaker 1: to be not so much resurgent. In week eleven, they
- 22:53Speaker 1: defeated Russell Wilson and his mangled finger. In Week thirteen,
- 22:57Speaker 1: they beat the Bears and Andy Dalton with thing but
- 23:00Speaker 1: short fields. In week fourteen, they were Matt Stafford's first
- 23:04Speaker 1: big win ever, the first time that Matt Stafford ever
- 23:06Speaker 1: beat a team five games plus over five hundred and
- 23:09Speaker 1: then in week fifteen they were destroyed by Jared goff
- 23:12Speaker 1: So two and three with wins over Andy Dalton and
- 23:16Speaker 1: a mangled Russell Wilson. That's why we're on the Cardinals
- 23:19Speaker 1: this week, folks. Right, Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons. The
- 23:27Speaker 1: Lions are say, five and a half point underdogs right now.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Oh God, I hate taking chalk like these lines have
- 23:34Speaker 1: been so good to us, but we have to at
- 23:36Speaker 1: this point, this Lines kind of moved to move too
- 23:38Speaker 1: far at this point. Jared Goffs on the COVID list,
- 23:41Speaker 1: I saw yesterday Atlanta. They're bad. Like, I'm not gonna
- 23:46Speaker 1: I'm not gonna defend it anymore. Like people keep saying
- 23:48Speaker 1: they beat they beat a bunch of nobody teams. That's fair.
- 23:51Speaker 1: This is a nobody team. Like again the Lines that
- 23:54Speaker 1: was incredible win last week, they're bad again. They've been
- 24:01Speaker 1: good against the spread, They're just not a team that
- 24:03Speaker 1: knows how to win. So them coming off a big
- 24:05Speaker 1: win like they just did. We saw what happened and
- 24:08Speaker 1: they went to go play Denver, they had a complete
- 24:10Speaker 1: letdown the following week. I guess we have to bank
- 24:12Speaker 1: on it again. But the fact that Atlanta is coming
- 24:14Speaker 1: off a bad loss, the one that they gave away
- 24:17Speaker 1: so many opportunity to score points, I just can't see
- 24:20Speaker 1: Atlanta having such a bad week. They got the veteran
- 24:22Speaker 1: quarterback and Matt Ryan, who statistically has actually been really
- 24:24Speaker 1: good this year. I know you don't think that because
- 24:27Speaker 1: we saw him go over sixteen inside the five yard line,
- 24:30Speaker 1: but Matt's been good this year, especially on throws downfield.
- 24:33Speaker 1: So against a team like Detroit that their biggest weakness
- 24:36Speaker 1: is that secondary. This is just a nice matchup for
- 24:38Speaker 1: this Atlanta team and I would take it. But again,
- 24:42Speaker 1: it's already feel confident about it, you know what I mean, Chadd,
- 24:44Speaker 1: It's like we just got burned so bad by Atlanta.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I bet this one, I think Monday night. I'll bet
- 24:49Speaker 1: it again a couple of times this week as long
- 24:51Speaker 1: as it keeps moving my way. Um, I just know
- 24:54Speaker 1: the publics can be coming on Detroit and I hate
- 24:56Speaker 1: I hate public dogs. You should hate public dogs when
- 24:59Speaker 1: they're connect to the Detroit lines. Yeah, that's I mean,
- 25:03Speaker 1: we've we've swerved on that each time they've been the
- 25:05Speaker 1: public dog, and it's worked out for us. I think
- 25:06Speaker 1: it was what the Eagles and then against Denver both times.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers, this is interesting. The
- 25:16Speaker 1: Panthers are eleven point home dogs to me when where
- 25:20Speaker 1: When I saw this, I knew this is gonna be
- 25:21Speaker 1: one of my bets. I'll do it as a foxhole.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Let's clide down into the foxhole. There's no no one
- 25:30Speaker 1: else is gonna joining us, Chad. Only a few people
- 25:33Speaker 1: will bet this number. But with all the injuries that
- 25:35Speaker 1: the Buccaneers have had, this plays right into the strength
- 25:38Speaker 1: of this Carolina team. Carolina has a really good secondary.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Now I'll have to do is double a B double grounk.
- 25:44Speaker 1: They don't have four nets. They are Ronald Jones in
- 25:46Speaker 1: that backfield. God wins out for the season. No one's
- 25:49Speaker 1: real sure if Evan's gonna play in this game. I
- 25:52Speaker 1: love I would love to take rading this bounce back position.
- 25:54Speaker 1: But the fact that this line was six and a
- 25:57Speaker 1: half seven and now it's bloomed all up to eleven
- 26:00Speaker 1: just because again Killen didn have a kicker in that
- 26:02Speaker 1: game against Buffalo. They would have covered that number if
- 26:04Speaker 1: they had a kicker. They had plenty opportunities to cover
- 26:06Speaker 1: that number, and they simply couldn't because they had to
- 26:08Speaker 1: go for it all fourth down. I think we're gonna
- 26:10Speaker 1: get the value here. I they would have covered last
- 26:11Speaker 1: week Carolina. I can see this number being eight, maybe
- 26:14Speaker 1: eight and a half, just because the Teasers, trying to
- 26:16Speaker 1: keep Tampa Bay out of that value zone. Got no
- 26:19Speaker 1: doubt Tampa bounced back here. That's just too many points
- 26:22Speaker 1: for such a banged up Tampa team. So if you're
- 26:24Speaker 1: a fan of this show. You bet these ugly games
- 26:26Speaker 1: with us. You have to bet this one. This is
- 26:28Speaker 1: an ugly number. It's divisional, they're at home. You have
- 26:32Speaker 1: to take this number. If you're listening to this show
- 26:35Speaker 1: and you don't bet this game and you like to bet,
- 26:39Speaker 1: If you're deciding on Sunday, I'm gonna put some money
- 26:41Speaker 1: on NFL football and this isn't a game you bet,
- 26:44Speaker 1: then you've learned nothing. Let me give you some context.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Right now, two of the bets are coming in in
- 26:51Speaker 1: the bucks, nearly fifty of the money coming in on
- 26:54Speaker 1: the Panthers. This is going to be the Pro Joe
- 26:57Speaker 1: game of the week. Overvalued, undervalued, home dog of more
- 27:03Speaker 1: than a touchdown, of the bets coming in on the
- 27:08Speaker 1: road favorite. All of these things singles in the noise
- 27:12Speaker 1: for the underdone Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets. Is
- 27:19Speaker 1: this the week that we bet on the Jets less
- 27:22Speaker 1: than a field goal favorite? Oh God? This Jaguars team
- 27:27Speaker 1: man so so bad. Luckily I was on the number,
- 27:31Speaker 1: but I faded them in our money Lyne round Robin,
- 27:33Speaker 1: I just said, Houston's up the plus two hundred. At
- 27:36Speaker 1: that point, we had to take Houston. So I don't
- 27:40Speaker 1: know what to make of the Jaguar team. Just looking
- 27:42Speaker 1: at on paper again, I've got to my head if
- 27:44Speaker 1: it gets the plus three, I'm it's the Jets and Jaguars.
- 27:47Speaker 1: I'll take the Jaguars plus three. It's just, how do
- 27:49Speaker 1: you have any confidence? But the quarterback Zack Wilson, he's
- 27:52Speaker 1: good for a quarter, he's terrible for three quarters. Lawrence
- 27:55Speaker 1: might be an absolute bust. His regression has been alarming.
- 27:58Speaker 1: He's gotten worse every game this year on. His full
- 28:01Speaker 1: work has gotten terrible. His reads are terrible. So yeah,
- 28:04Speaker 1: we can we can move on. I'm not betting this game.
- 28:07Speaker 1: I'll either take the plus through. I just won't touch it.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I think that's an incendiary hot take Steven a statement
- 28:14Speaker 1: to say Trevor Lawrence is a bust. Certainly he's regressed,
- 28:19Speaker 1: but that team is a fucking dumpster fire. He's got
- 28:21Speaker 1: a coach who doesn't know how to coach anyone over
- 28:24Speaker 1: twenty one years old, has no support whatsoever, and is
- 28:28Speaker 1: basically having to tell the coach, hey, you might want
- 28:30Speaker 1: to put the best players on the field. Give this
- 28:32Speaker 1: guy a chance to get right with a coach who
- 28:35Speaker 1: they believe will be there for a while with a
- 28:37Speaker 1: guy who understands how to create coherence, who understands how
- 28:41Speaker 1: to create an offense that he can learn. I'm not
- 28:44Speaker 1: ready to throw it all the way. And Trevor Lawren again,
- 28:46Speaker 1: you don't get the mental part of football, Chad, you're
- 28:48Speaker 1: a nerd. But in all the seriousness, he's wilted. He's
- 28:52Speaker 1: only the biggest loser franchise in the history of football.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Everything about him just screams Boston and even come of
- 28:57Speaker 1: the year, I didn't really trust him. I was just like,
- 28:59Speaker 1: you know what, I'll get benefit of the doubts of
- 29:01Speaker 1: these scouts are saying this kid the next Peyton, like
- 29:03Speaker 1: he's one of the best prospects coming out. He's big,
- 29:06Speaker 1: he's tall, he's strong, he's fast, good arm. His mental
- 29:09Speaker 1: is so bad, like he's just fucking stupid. So, yeah,
- 29:13Speaker 1: you're right, if they get the right coach in there,
- 29:15Speaker 1: maybe you can fix them. But to me, fading the
- 29:18Speaker 1: Jags it's easy to do. They've just never produced a
- 29:20Speaker 1: good quarterback. I mean, what Mark Brunel, when, when the
- 29:23Speaker 1: hell was that? So I don't know, just I just
- 29:26Speaker 1: don't have faith in the franchise. And their decision making.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Maybe you're right he'll be able to bounce back from it,
- 29:30Speaker 1: but I've seen it with Sam Donald. I've just seen
- 29:32Speaker 1: these quarterbacks lose it. They lose that step, they lose
- 29:35Speaker 1: that confidence. It's over. Well, look, it's no different than
- 29:40Speaker 1: the scouts saying he's the next Peyton Manning. You know,
- 29:44Speaker 1: you can be as wrong if you're being hyperbolic about
- 29:46Speaker 1: how great he can be as you are about how
- 29:49Speaker 1: bad he is after seeing no games. He's Peyton Manning
- 29:53Speaker 1: after seeing thirteen games, fourteen games, whatever it is, he's
- 29:57Speaker 1: a bust, could be somewhere in between. But just look
- 29:59Speaker 1: at your boy. Fields. Fields is being get slaughtered and
- 30:03Speaker 1: every path, every time he drops back, he's getting hit.
- 30:05Speaker 1: No matter what. He was making big throws last night,
- 30:07Speaker 1: pig throws downfield. That that's resilience. He's coming back. He
- 30:11Speaker 1: was fighting. He put that touch on end. That was
- 30:12Speaker 1: your rulling at the end of the game. That's what
- 30:14Speaker 1: you're looking for for these rookies. New York Giants at
- 30:18Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are playing at night. Their ten
- 30:21Speaker 1: point favorites in this game. Obviously a lot can change.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Mike Glennon is playing quarterback for the Giants. We don't
- 30:28Speaker 1: know enough yet to really dig in on this game.
- 30:32Speaker 1: My suggestion is what we reevaluate this game on Thursday? Yeah,
- 30:35Speaker 1: my suggestions. If you get ten and a half, I
- 30:37Speaker 1: grab it and then you can just buy out of
- 30:39Speaker 1: it later. Um, just in case the Eagles look like
- 30:41Speaker 1: ship and lose, this number will drop by like three points.
- 30:43Speaker 1: So to me, I would just take that number real quick,
- 30:45Speaker 1: because that's a that's a big, big number for a
- 30:48Speaker 1: divisional matchup between these two. They I used, I used
- 30:51Speaker 1: Simon saying no, I can't do that because, like you
- 30:54Speaker 1: just said, we don't really know what the canna happened
- 30:55Speaker 1: with this Eagles matchup, And because of I don't know,
- 30:58Speaker 1: I don't want to go against my Eagles best bet
- 31:00Speaker 1: of the week, and because of COVID a little bit,
- 31:03Speaker 1: because who knows. Los Angeles Chargers at Houston Texans. So
- 31:09Speaker 1: the Chargers break our heart, they strike a lightning boat
- 31:12Speaker 1: through the core of our beings. Talk about emotional. They're
- 31:16Speaker 1: on the road now against the Texans nine and a
- 31:18Speaker 1: half point favorites and weight on it. It's one of
- 31:22Speaker 1: those games. I just wait, you'll bet you hopefully you'll
- 31:24Speaker 1: be able to get a ten or something with Houston.
- 31:26Speaker 1: But Chargers team they usually beat up on these bad teams.
- 31:29Speaker 1: So um, I'm a little scary taking Houston team off
- 31:32Speaker 1: a win. But I've seen it time and time again.
- 31:35Speaker 1: The Houston team plays, they play well at home, and
- 31:37Speaker 1: we've seen Davis Mills say what you want about them.
- 31:41Speaker 1: He might have been the second or third best rookie
- 31:42Speaker 1: this season. I mean, the kid is again he's only
- 31:45Speaker 1: beating the Jaguars. I get that he's not that that's
- 31:48Speaker 1: nothing to really ho hum about, but a lot of
- 31:51Speaker 1: these games he keeps them in close, he makes big
- 31:53Speaker 1: throw So I don't know. I feel like the value
- 31:56Speaker 1: right now is technically on the Chargers because at the
- 31:59Speaker 1: key number of ten, but I just couldn't. I just
- 32:00Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable taking that that big of a number,
- 32:02Speaker 1: so I probably wait and hopefully take Houston here. I
- 32:06Speaker 1: agree with you. I think Texan is going to be
- 32:07Speaker 1: the right side when it all comes down to it,
- 32:09Speaker 1: and the money and the picks are coming in on
- 32:11Speaker 1: the Chargers. But if we're gonna be willing to take
- 32:13Speaker 1: the Panthers in similar situations against a much better team
- 32:17Speaker 1: in the box, I can't not take the Texans, who
- 32:20Speaker 1: I think have shown the ability to keep these games close,
- 32:23Speaker 1: and like you said, with Davis Mills perform much better
- 32:26Speaker 1: than we expected against the Charger scene. That is just
- 32:28Speaker 1: doing consistent and I think, like you talk about emotion,
- 32:32Speaker 1: it's hard to come back from what they lost on Thursday.
- 32:34Speaker 1: It isn't. It isn't though they didn't think they're in
- 32:37Speaker 1: the wrong. They thought they did everything right. So to me,
- 32:39Speaker 1: they're they're probably just thinking, you know what, that's what
- 32:41Speaker 1: we do, that's how why we are we we are
- 32:42Speaker 1: this year, so I don't seem affecting that much. But
- 32:45Speaker 1: everything you said, it's true. If you're willing to take Carolina,
- 32:48Speaker 1: you kind of have to take the Texans for the
- 32:50Speaker 1: same exact reason. It's just way too big of a
- 32:52Speaker 1: number for a team that deserve all that respect. Buffalo
- 32:56Speaker 1: Bills at New England Patriots. The Bills anywhere from one
- 33:01Speaker 1: and a half to two and a half point dogs
- 33:03Speaker 1: against the Patriots on the road. Is this the week,
- 33:08Speaker 1: my friend, were you buy into Mac Jones um again?
- 33:15Speaker 1: I would love to keep crushing Mac Jones because Patriots
- 33:18Speaker 1: fans are like the worst fan base in the world.
- 33:21Speaker 1: But he's good man. Like that was unbelievable what he
- 33:25Speaker 1: did in that Colds matchup, Like everything I thought was
- 33:28Speaker 1: gonna happen did happen. He was looked like a rookie.
- 33:30Speaker 1: He got dominated scheme wise, he just could not figot
- 33:34Speaker 1: that Colts defense, and then he figured it out and
- 33:37Speaker 1: he was very cool, common collective. Even the fact that
- 33:39Speaker 1: he was getting punched in the mouth on multiple plays,
- 33:41Speaker 1: like he was really getting hit, popping right back up,
- 33:44Speaker 1: making big throws. I fucking hate it, man, It's like
- 33:47Speaker 1: crazy the Patriots go from Tom Brady to fucking mac
- 33:49Speaker 1: Jones and honestly really pisces me off. But he's by
- 33:53Speaker 1: far the best rookie, Like I can't there's no denying
- 33:55Speaker 1: that this kid is toughest ship, he's smart, and he
- 33:58Speaker 1: makes big throws and like that of me is one
- 34:00Speaker 1: of the most important things in football. It's like, can
- 34:02Speaker 1: you get hit in the mouth, throw a bad pick,
- 34:04Speaker 1: they come out, throw a touchdown, Like that's that's how
- 34:07Speaker 1: that's how you know you can be in this league.
- 34:09Speaker 1: You just get over and move on the next play.
- 34:11Speaker 1: What the funk? This number is too too much? Like
- 34:14Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's about to be plus three? What
- 34:16Speaker 1: are we doing here? I had to take the bills.
- 34:18Speaker 1: I have to put bills and teasers. I don't know.
- 34:20Speaker 1: To me, this is like the bills, not super Bowl.
- 34:24Speaker 1: But like this is what they've been thinking about for
- 34:26Speaker 1: two weeks, Like they just want to get back at
- 34:28Speaker 1: this Patriots team so bad they got embarrassed at home.
- 34:31Speaker 1: It's it's scaring me that it's moving this much because
- 34:34Speaker 1: that means a lot of professional money is coming on
- 34:35Speaker 1: the Patriots, and they obviously have a read on this.
- 34:37Speaker 1: But the few games this week where it's a no brainer,
- 34:40Speaker 1: too easier. It's this bill is number this this number
- 34:43Speaker 1: great for teasing. You can tease it up to eight
- 34:44Speaker 1: and a half right now if you have a two
- 34:46Speaker 1: and a half line in your book. Um, I like
- 34:48Speaker 1: this bills number a lot, especially if it reaches three.
- 34:51Speaker 1: What what did you power rated at pick? I just
- 34:54Speaker 1: I honestly didn't know what to really do with it.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Like I gave a little bit of a home field
- 34:57Speaker 1: advantage of this Patriots team, so that's why I I
- 35:00Speaker 1: almost made them minus one. But based off matchups, what
- 35:05Speaker 1: what each team can do? They were they think it's
- 35:07Speaker 1: gonna be good weather in the on the East coast.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Is this upcoming? How it's like, you know, Christmas is Saturday,
- 35:12Speaker 1: they play Sunday, e supposing it supposed to be a
- 35:14Speaker 1: nice day. Everything points to me taking the bills. But
- 35:18Speaker 1: it's so hard to do on a Tuesday, That's what
- 35:19Speaker 1: I mean. Like if there was no COVID, I'd be
- 35:22Speaker 1: all over this number right now. But to me, it's
- 35:23Speaker 1: kind of one of you have to wait, just because
- 35:25Speaker 1: both these teams it's it's so it's so close. It
- 35:29Speaker 1: really is a pick, like both these teams are just
- 35:31Speaker 1: so equal. Um, I just can't give it out right now.
- 35:35Speaker 1: The Patriots have been one of your blind spots all season.
- 35:40Speaker 1: We just fucking won on the Colts against the Patriots.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Yeah once once, all right. We won Week one with
- 35:47Speaker 1: Miami against them. We won with the Saints against them twice,
- 35:50Speaker 1: three times. Somebody slam child at Chad. I feel like
- 35:54Speaker 1: I was on the Colts as much as anybody. I
- 35:56Speaker 1: might have swayed you onto the Colts. You were becoming
- 35:59Speaker 1: like a mac Jones sycophant. That's not true, anyone. We
- 36:05Speaker 1: want on the Patriots against the Tennessee Titans, which I
- 36:08Speaker 1: had to beg you to take the New England minus
- 36:10Speaker 1: six against the Tennessee Titans. So I'm I'm all right
- 36:14Speaker 1: with this Patriots team. I haven't done terrible with them.
- 36:18Speaker 1: I like the Bills in the spot too. The Holidays

- 38:36Speaker 1: we want to hold off on this till Thursday. Los
- 38:39Speaker 1: Angeles Rams at Minnesota Vikings Rams are two and a
- 38:44Speaker 1: half point favorites. Right now, take the Rams like this,
- 38:46Speaker 1: this is my Simons says bet. But the problem, I
- 38:56Speaker 1: know the problem is COVID. I would love for people
- 38:58Speaker 1: to take this number now before the Rams do play,
- 39:00Speaker 1: just in case they do blow out the Seattle team.
- 39:03Speaker 1: But I don't know what to do, just because it's
- 39:06Speaker 1: just there's so much unknowns, so much can change. But
- 39:09Speaker 1: from now until Sunday, so it's tough to say, but
- 39:12Speaker 1: we can mark it down. As my Simon says, be
- 39:14Speaker 1: very cowardly. I'm going to give you the opportunity to
- 39:18Speaker 1: change your mind on Thursday. Thank you. It's a lot
- 39:21Speaker 1: going on. It's gonna be a big public side too.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Like I sorry to cut you off, but I know
- 39:24Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna be a huge public side. But
- 39:26Speaker 1: to me, it's just crazy that numbers under three. Baltimore
- 39:30Speaker 1: Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals. The Ravens now two and a
- 39:35Speaker 1: half point dogs on the road against the Bengals, who
- 39:38Speaker 1: if you recall the last time the Ravens played the Bengals,
- 39:41Speaker 1: we said, bet the Bengals future as to win the
- 39:46Speaker 1: a f C North now because they're gonna change, And
- 39:49Speaker 1: sure enough they beat the Ravens. The odds changed now
- 39:52Speaker 1: their first place team. Yeah, there were plus a thousand
- 39:55Speaker 1: when we said that. So it's if you've been waiting
- 39:57Speaker 1: to hedge, you can hedge now. You can let it
- 40:00Speaker 1: ride if you believe in the Bengals of this matchup.
- 40:01Speaker 1: But again, you're gonna see a pattern here people. If
- 40:04Speaker 1: if this hits plus three, we take the Ravens every
- 40:07Speaker 1: single time, and this in a late December matchup, not
- 40:11Speaker 1: even going off the head coach discrepancy like hardball. Is
- 40:14Speaker 1: that much better of a head coach than well, we
- 40:17Speaker 1: have what we have with the Bengals. But to me,
- 40:21Speaker 1: this Ravens team, if they lose, they lose clothes. Okay,
- 40:25Speaker 1: and you're getting a plus three number. We've been burned
- 40:28Speaker 1: by them with these numbers. Okay, the numbers matter in
- 40:30Speaker 1: each matchup they've had. Even though they've lost these games,
- 40:32Speaker 1: they've been covering. So maybe I'll finally get burned by
- 40:36Speaker 1: finally going against the going with the Ravens team, but
- 40:39Speaker 1: I have to do it. If it's plus three in
- 40:41Speaker 1: this divisional matchup, I have to take it completely. Agree,
- 40:45Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard, Like you look at this and think, like,
- 40:49Speaker 1: what's from our Jackson's status. They're losing all these defensive backs.
- 40:54Speaker 1: But when you talk about analytics, we talked about it
- 40:56Speaker 1: earlier in the show, Hardball plays it differently than say,
- 41:00Speaker 1: Brandon Staley does. We're Brandon Staley seems to be running
- 41:03Speaker 1: some kind of meta experiment about analytics. Hardball is actually
- 41:08Speaker 1: playing the game of analytics. Soe he even even Hardball
- 41:11Speaker 1: sucked it up though, Like the first touchdown he got
- 41:14Speaker 1: when they were down fourteen, that's when you go for two,
- 41:18Speaker 1: not not the second touchdown, You go for it on
- 41:20Speaker 1: the first touchdown, because then if you missed the first touchdown,
- 41:23Speaker 1: then you go from the second touchdown and make it
- 41:25Speaker 1: a fourteen point game. So again, that's that's what I'm saying, Like,
- 41:29Speaker 1: it's it's so hard on handicap these games because these
- 41:31Speaker 1: coaches are smart, but they're fucking idiots at the same time.
- 41:33Speaker 1: It's it's just tough where it's like, yeah, hardball gets
- 41:36Speaker 1: the analytics, but he funked it up where it's like, no,
- 41:38Speaker 1: the first touchdown, you go for two, not the second touchdown.
- 41:40Speaker 1: But again, whatever, I like how I try to make
- 41:43Speaker 1: a point and then you tell me how I'm completely wrong,
- 41:46Speaker 1: but you're what you're saying is true though, like they're
- 41:48Speaker 1: more accepting of it, but it's just horriball in that instance,
- 41:51Speaker 1: messed it up. Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks Bears plus
- 41:56Speaker 1: seven at Seattle, keep it moving. Well, I'll take the
- 42:00Speaker 1: Bears and I'll lose money again because Matt Maggie is
- 42:02Speaker 1: an awful head coach. But the Bears are the worst
- 42:04Speaker 1: underdog team statistically ever under Matt Naggie. Like there's never
- 42:08Speaker 1: been a worst team at covering as an underdog than
- 42:11Speaker 1: they have been with Matt Maaggie. So I don't bet
- 42:13Speaker 1: this game. People. Yeah, there was some stat today like
- 42:15Speaker 1: three and twenty two was a dog of more than
- 42:18Speaker 1: three and a half. He's a fucking easy disaster. I
- 42:21Speaker 1: feel so bad for Bears fans. Denver Broncos at Las
- 42:25Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. Teddy's got a concussion. They broke our heart
- 42:29Speaker 1: on Sunday. God, I know, I know Teddy is not
- 42:33Speaker 1: coming back in such a great time to take Teddy.
- 42:35Speaker 1: Teddy covers as a dog on the road, so we'll
- 42:38Speaker 1: we'll pass. I'm almost positive they said, no matter what,
- 42:40Speaker 1: it's gonna be Drew lock Um this Sunday. But yeah,
- 42:44Speaker 1: after squeaking by with a Raiders money line, I don't
- 42:46Speaker 1: want to bet them again. I agree. These teams are
- 42:50Speaker 1: both the past for me right now. Pittsburgh Steelers at
- 42:54Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. The Steelers are now ten point underdogs
- 42:59Speaker 1: either way. The Chiefs, Baby, I know, I knew that.
- 43:04Speaker 1: You would think I would be on Pittsburgh, but I'm not.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I love you, Mike Tomlin. I know it's December, but
- 43:09Speaker 1: I'm not sucking down it. It's a fine line between,
- 43:13Speaker 1: you know, drinking wine and squashing grades. This is the
- 43:17Speaker 1: This is the ra Rob Mike Tomlin spot drop it,
- 43:20Speaker 1: Mitchell ra ra Mike Tomlin spot get them ready to
- 43:25Speaker 1: take the fail every series. This is when you fade
- 43:35Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin off the home win as a dog. This
- 43:38Speaker 1: will buy you by far my favorite unders of the week.
- 43:41Speaker 1: I love this under so much. I always bet the
- 43:43Speaker 1: unders anyway. With the Chiefs at home. But this Chief's
- 43:47Speaker 1: defense they again that Chargers game, they the Chargers doing
- 43:52Speaker 1: ever they want. They're going up and down the field.
- 43:53Speaker 1: That wasn't indoor game, the controlled environment. The Chiefs team
- 43:56Speaker 1: outdoors as just for some reason, really held offenses down.
- 43:59Speaker 1: So to me, this is a nice, nice spot taking
- 44:02Speaker 1: under in a favor, which is rare, usually like taking
- 44:04Speaker 1: the dog in an under position. But to me, it's
- 44:07Speaker 1: such a big total, big spread. What is I think
- 44:09Speaker 1: I have to check. I think it was and a
- 44:11Speaker 1: half ten points. It's not worth as much when if
- 44:14Speaker 1: it was forty, maybe I'd be leaning more towards Pittsburgh.
- 44:16Speaker 1: But there's enough wiggle room there that I like the
- 44:19Speaker 1: Chiefs in this position. I am shocked. It's a big,
- 44:22Speaker 1: big number for a team that has a really good
- 44:24Speaker 1: defense in the Steelers, and I think the Chiefs are overrated.
- 44:28Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean the Chiefs don't cover numbers like this.
- 44:31Speaker 1: It goes against everything we've said all year about the Chiefs.
- 44:34Speaker 1: It's gonna burn me chat. But I made the number
- 44:36Speaker 1: twelve and a half. It's ten. I think I'm getting
- 44:38Speaker 1: two and a half points of value. It's total on
- 44:43Speaker 1: this game right now is h fourty and a half
- 44:47Speaker 1: yea wow. This is the opposite of every single thing
- 44:52Speaker 1: we've talked about on this game, on this podcast all
- 44:54Speaker 1: season long. Not at all. There's times we take big favorites.
- 44:58Speaker 1: It's just very rare. It's stunning. It's stunning to me.
- 45:02Speaker 1: I know, you don't think the books. You know what
- 45:03Speaker 1: they're doing. They're fucking sucking you in, buddy. Why wouldn't
- 45:06Speaker 1: they make this seven and a half eight and a half.
- 45:08Speaker 1: They would just get the same amount of money on
- 45:10Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh team as they would on the Chiefs. But
- 45:12Speaker 1: they're putting it all up there because they need people
- 45:14Speaker 1: coming on Pittsburgh. Washington football team at Dallas Cowboys. Dallas
- 45:21Speaker 1: Cowboys ten and a half point favorites. This not knowing
- 45:25Speaker 1: about tonight, assuming Taylor Heinek is playing, this should be
- 45:28Speaker 1: Simon says, get on the fucking Washington football team right now.
- 45:33Speaker 1: How can we though we don't know who's gonna be
- 45:34Speaker 1: back from COVID, So yeah, I'm with you. Their whole
- 45:38Speaker 1: defense is back healthy, their practice all week, and their
- 45:41Speaker 1: quarterbacks come back and they practice too. Love love Washington.
- 45:45Speaker 1: We don't Dallas has not looked right. Ever, since Dacks
- 45:47Speaker 1: come back from that injury, it just has not. I mean,
- 45:50Speaker 1: they barely beat the Giants huste. What was that one
- 45:52Speaker 1: to six and one of them was a defensive touch on?
- 45:54Speaker 1: Maybe I don't even remember, but I just remember thinking
- 45:56Speaker 1: that whole time. Giants should be winning this game, or
- 45:58Speaker 1: at least covering. They just couldn't do it. Dallas's defense
- 46:01Speaker 1: is for real. They're all healthy right now. This is
- 46:04Speaker 1: another game where if I can't figure out a side
- 46:06Speaker 1: or to pick a side, I'll probably send up taking
- 46:08Speaker 1: the under in this game. Last game Monday Night Football,
- 46:17Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints. Miami is a three
- 46:24Speaker 1: point underdog. Dude, dude, give me the fucking Dolphins. Here
- 46:30Speaker 1: the love right there with you. Love love this number.
- 46:34Speaker 1: I took it a three and a half. The fact
- 46:35Speaker 1: of the money and the tickets are coming in on
- 46:38Speaker 1: the Saints and the numbers moved down to three. That's
- 46:41Speaker 1: that's best casing. That means other pro groups have hit
- 46:44Speaker 1: Miami as well. So I love this number as long
- 46:46Speaker 1: as stays above one and a half, to which again
- 46:49Speaker 1: I talked all the time too, is a key number.
- 46:51Speaker 1: I love Miami and I can see this being one
- 46:53Speaker 1: of our five. This makes no sense to me. No,
- 46:56Speaker 1: it's an overreaction to a Saints team that put up
- 46:58Speaker 1: nine points. Yeah, exactly what it is. We've got an
- 47:01Speaker 1: interesting little lineup coming on here, because I mean we're
- 47:05Speaker 1: talking about potentially the Cards, maybe maybe the Line, maybe
- 47:10Speaker 1: the Falcons, maybe the Panthers, maybe the Bills. We'll see
- 47:14Speaker 1: what happens with the Rams tonight. We might like that.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Maybe the Chiefs, which you love, like your enthusiasm was
- 47:21Speaker 1: a little overwhelming Miami. Wow, that's a lot. That's a lot.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Our foxhole is going to be the Panthers mine plus
- 47:28Speaker 1: eleven against the Bucks. Scoot Row. Let it for me, buddy.
- 47:34Speaker 1: When all hope is lost, all that's left is relief.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Let's play roulette. You're clearly killing me, so talk to me.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Screwch roulette. No brainer. We just talked about in Miami
- 47:50Speaker 1: plus Fuck you. I want to take the Dolphins, God
- 47:54Speaker 1: damn it, gotta gotta do it. I'll take the Chiefs. Wow,
- 47:58Speaker 1: look at you coming to a dark side. Yeah I was.
- 48:02Speaker 1: I was almost going to take the Cardinals. I Ll
- 48:05Speaker 1: just say that's that's probably the most pro line this week.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Honestly the Cardinals line. That's what I think too, all right,
- 48:11Speaker 1: I think we've covered it all. I think we've done
- 48:13Speaker 1: a whole show. We got in all the notes that
- 48:15Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell wanted us to get in about where to
- 48:18Speaker 1: find things and what we're doing for the rest of
- 48:20Speaker 1: the year. We got in our full slate, we got
- 48:22Speaker 1: in our foxel, we got in our assignment says Thursday.
