- 1:31Speaker 1: We are the home of the Undefeated, the Winners. I
- 1:36Speaker 1: am Chad Millman from the Action Network Chief Content Officer.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I am joined as I am every episode by my bff,
- 1:45Speaker 1: my companion, my compadre professional better Simon Hunter, Chad five,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and oh brother Mitchell hit the music, Yeah five and
- 2:13Speaker 1: fucking oh Matt Mitchell said it best over the weekend
- 2:17Speaker 1: and before we joined, this is going to be an
- 2:21Speaker 1: epic hour of insufferable self congratulation. And you know what,
- 2:27Speaker 1: I really I didn't think we were going to go
- 2:29Speaker 1: that route. And then as soon as we started recording,
- 2:32Speaker 1: I was filled with so much confidence and a bulliance.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I don't know how this won't be mentioned every other word.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Chad Millman is proud of himself. Chad, speaking for himself,
- 2:48Speaker 1: I am quick to know you're only as good as
- 2:51Speaker 1: your last win. So I'm already on to week two.
- 2:53Speaker 1: But now I mean, we'll recap it and hell yeah,
- 2:56Speaker 1: it feels good, Chad, Right, like there where we are,
- 3:00Speaker 1: we know how big the shows, and we're also we're
- 3:01Speaker 1: talking to each other. We're just like, let's not overthink
- 3:03Speaker 1: this because that's our biggest issue. We overthink stuff. Um.
- 3:08Speaker 1: And again we went with what we believed in and
- 3:10Speaker 1: a five and oh it could have been a six
- 3:12Speaker 1: and not right if they would have gave us Pittsburgh,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Me and Chad. That was the one we switched out
- 3:15Speaker 1: for the Bears. Um. It was just one of those
- 3:18Speaker 1: where it was no matter what we were getting that five.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And note which is the best way you could possibly
- 3:23Speaker 1: start the season. Unfortunately, one on one on Survivors. Uh,
- 3:27Speaker 1: that was tough. So we're only come to one survivor.
- 3:29Speaker 1: But thank we also love Seattle, and so even if
- 3:34Speaker 1: we had dropped out the Steelers and put in Seattle,
- 3:39Speaker 1: we would have done. Okay to recap for everybody. UM
- 3:44Speaker 1: our final picks and I will reiterate because I got
- 3:46Speaker 1: some questions about this week. UM. Download the Action Network Gap.
- 3:52Speaker 1: You can follow every pick that we talked about on
- 3:56Speaker 1: the podcast. We put them on two different handles to follow.
- 4:01Speaker 1: One is the Phaves five. That is where Simon and
- 4:07Speaker 1: I put the five picks. We enter into our contest.
- 4:13Speaker 1: The reason we have that is a separate handle, the
- 4:16Speaker 1: Phase five is because we want to be able to
- 4:18Speaker 1: keep track with UM as much transparency as we are
- 4:23Speaker 1: able to through the technology of what we land on
- 4:27Speaker 1: on Sunday and these picks get put in Sunday at noon,
- 4:30Speaker 1: we talk about the five we are leaning to, but
- 4:33Speaker 1: between the time we do the podcast on Thursday and
- 4:36Speaker 1: the time the picks are do, a lot of things change.
- 4:38Speaker 1: We saw it on Sunday night on Saturday. On Saturday Night,
- 4:42Speaker 1: Packers had offensive line issues. There were stories about the
- 4:45Speaker 1: Niners having offensive line issues and kit will not playing.
- 4:48Speaker 1: So we are giving you our best leans, but we're
- 4:51Speaker 1: still always gonna maybe adjust on Sunday. That's why you've
- 4:54Speaker 1: got to follow in the app. The other handle the
- 4:57Speaker 1: follow is the Favorites podcast, where we put every thing
- 5:00Speaker 1: else that we talked about, including our executive decision, our
- 5:03Speaker 1: Simon says, our big balls better the week, etcetera, etcetera.
- 5:07Speaker 1: We won five and our final teams on Sunday, Atlanta, Houston, Bears,
- 5:13Speaker 1: Minnesota and the Chiefs. When with the Chiefs at minus
- 5:17Speaker 1: three and a half because that line had moved up
- 5:19Speaker 1: in the lines for the contest lock in the middle
- 5:21Speaker 1: of the week, Simon your Simon says, was Rams plus
- 5:25Speaker 1: two and a half. I was with you. The executive
- 5:30Speaker 1: decision from me was Lins plus four. The foxhole that
- 5:34Speaker 1: we both agreed on was Cowboys plus two and a half.
- 5:37Speaker 1: That hurt the big balls better. The week Seattle plus
- 5:41Speaker 1: six and a half. Boom boom, boom, we win, Scoot
- 5:46Speaker 1: throw Let you at Houston seven and a half, Atlanta
- 5:49Speaker 1: plus five and a half. Overall, astounding, astounding week. A
- 5:56Speaker 1: lot of takeaways from week one. Are you gonna do
- 5:59Speaker 1: this to recap every week? Because this is gonna be
- 6:01Speaker 1: pretty painful on the bad weeks to just relive it
- 6:05Speaker 1: all week. This is what we do. This is what
- 6:08Speaker 1: we do. People can follow it. I get paid enough
- 6:10Speaker 1: for this. People can follow it in the Favorites, in
- 6:13Speaker 1: the in the Action Network Gap, in the Favorites podcast
- 6:16Speaker 1: handled and the Phase five so they know. But it's
- 6:19Speaker 1: worth sharing. Yeah, that's true. It's just again five and
- 6:24Speaker 1: oh it's epic. The goal is so obviously there's gonna
- 6:29Speaker 1: be some hardache coming people, but I guess this is
- 6:32Speaker 1: my life and now I'm just gonna have Chad stomping
- 6:34Speaker 1: on me on the bad weeks, but praising me during
- 6:36Speaker 1: the good ones. So it's it's fun obviously. But yeah,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and now I'm just getting the visualization of this upcoming season.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Let me say it's gonna hurt. What kind of ego
- 6:44Speaker 1: do you have that you think that it's only about you?
- 6:47Speaker 1: Am I not making picks with you? Are we not
- 6:50Speaker 1: having a conversation on Sunday on Thursday? On Tuesday? Am
- 6:56Speaker 1: I not with you? On executive decision on Foxhold on
- 6:59Speaker 1: so and says on Big Balls, we're putting it in together. Man,
- 7:03Speaker 1: It's not all on you. You don't have to carry
- 7:04Speaker 1: it on your city of Philadelphia shoulders. I needed to
- 7:11Speaker 1: hear that we're a team, okay, team sport betting. So
- 7:16Speaker 1: some of my takeaways Number one Lions exactly what we
- 7:21Speaker 1: thought we would be, right, team that does not give up,
- 7:24Speaker 1: team that covers in the back door team that I
- 7:27Speaker 1: had at plus three and a half. I also had
- 7:30Speaker 1: DJ Shark under forty one and a half receiving yards,
- 7:33Speaker 1: so him scoring the game winning touchdown was a little
- 7:37Speaker 1: bit bitter sweet. I took that bet from Sean Kroner
- 7:40Speaker 1: on our Convinced Me Show, which also crushed I think
- 7:43Speaker 1: of the nine picks we had on convinced me in
- 7:46Speaker 1: the Action Network apps Sunday mornings eleven AM. When six
- 7:50Speaker 1: and three, the Jags looked younger than we thought. Lawrence Trevor,
- 7:56Speaker 1: Lawrence missed a lot of key passes. I immediately backed
- 7:59Speaker 1: the Acts at plus four and a half. We're gonna
- 8:01Speaker 1: talk about that bears were baptized in the rain. We
- 8:05Speaker 1: were spot on. You were just so sharp about the
- 8:09Speaker 1: backlash of the backlash on Patrick Mahomes. What do you got?
- 8:13Speaker 1: What do you take aways? Just not the overreact week
- 8:16Speaker 1: one to me means nothing kind of where like whatever
- 8:19Speaker 1: I believed in going into it, I kind of gotta
- 8:21Speaker 1: stand my ground to keep believing it. So Jaguars, I'll
- 8:24Speaker 1: go glass half full. I thought they played great on
- 8:27Speaker 1: the road and it's just a couple of mishaps and
- 8:29Speaker 1: they didn't actually, like you just said, they didn't capitalize
- 8:32Speaker 1: on certain situations. Travis E. T n looked like a
- 8:34Speaker 1: guy who was playing in his first game he ever
- 8:36Speaker 1: played in. So I love the upside. Thought Lawrence made
- 8:38Speaker 1: some great throws, So I'm excited for the Jaguars. Still,
- 8:42Speaker 1: the biggest bummer for me would be I had a
- 8:43Speaker 1: lot of had a lot of opportunities. I was gonna
- 8:47Speaker 1: be able to hedge out a lot of positions just
- 8:49Speaker 1: at their week one on Atlanta and Houston and their
- 8:51Speaker 1: divisional games, where if they both would have one and
- 8:54Speaker 1: have been on top of their divisions, Man, that would
- 8:57Speaker 1: have been incredible for me to take up as it
- 9:00Speaker 1: and on either team. Um, but the Witch and Hour
- 9:02Speaker 1: didn't play out that way. So that was tough where
- 9:05Speaker 1: I kind of look forward and I'm thinking, Okay, we're
- 9:07Speaker 1: gonna get that back. Some dogs are gonna break right
- 9:10Speaker 1: for us when those ones really didn't. Um. Yeah, biggest takeaways,
- 9:13Speaker 1: don't overreact, it's this is how they Yeah, you're gonna
- 9:17Speaker 1: go through all the lines this week. People, it's gonna
- 9:20Speaker 1: feel just as gross did last week. I'm gonna ask
- 9:22Speaker 1: you do stuff you're not gonna like just because you're
- 9:24Speaker 1: just the public. You literally look at what happened last
- 9:26Speaker 1: wee can go that's what's That's what this team is,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and that's what they'll be the rest of the season.
- 9:30Speaker 1: And it's just not like a lot of different things
- 9:32Speaker 1: happened for certain teams to be in a certain situations.
- 9:35Speaker 1: We saw just in that Seahawks Bronco game. How stupid
- 9:37Speaker 1: football is. None of this makes sense, Like none of
- 9:40Speaker 1: it does. Like you know, if they sent in a simulation,
- 9:43Speaker 1: they play that game again a hundred times, I mean
- 9:46Speaker 1: at least seventy sixty five per at the time, Broncos
- 9:49Speaker 1: are probably gonna cover that number. They just were clearly
- 9:51Speaker 1: the better team. So that's what I try to try
- 9:54Speaker 1: to tell people. It's like a lot of what we
- 9:56Speaker 1: do here. Yeah, we use models and stuff off computers,
- 9:59Speaker 1: but a lot of it's human. We're talking to professionals,
- 10:01Speaker 1: other sharp groups, and just a human element of certain situations.
- 10:05Speaker 1: We talked how much about Russ going back to Seattle,
- 10:08Speaker 1: How weird that was gonna be. So to me, it's
- 10:11Speaker 1: funny where people are up on Seattle now and down
- 10:13Speaker 1: on the Broncos, and again that stuff we're gonna talk about,
- 10:15Speaker 1: don't do it. Don't do it. Kind of stick to
- 10:18Speaker 1: what you believe in head into the season, and you're
- 10:20Speaker 1: just from there, right, I mean, Chad talk At the time.
- 10:22Speaker 1: It takes a month, honestly to really figure out most
- 10:24Speaker 1: of these teams. Even then you don't really know. But
- 10:27Speaker 1: for the most part, I would say these teams I'll
- 10:29Speaker 1: really have a good handle in a month. So you
- 10:31Speaker 1: got to start five and oh and have a goal
- 10:33Speaker 1: of tenant oh this week, Chad, I'm fired up, brother,
- 10:36Speaker 1: Same with the Titans and the Giants. By the way,
- 10:38Speaker 1: like the Titans gave that game away. They got cute
- 10:41Speaker 1: so many times on third and short. The Giants scored
- 10:44Speaker 1: every time. Uh they they had bad turnovers. They were
- 10:48Speaker 1: just that team. Should have won that game, out right,
- 10:51Speaker 1: they should have won. The Giants are not a world
- 10:54Speaker 1: beating team, alright, Chades. Don't forget Green Dot Daily in
- 10:58Speaker 1: the Action Network app every day noon Eastern check it out,
- 11:02Speaker 1: setting the betting agenda for the day right off the bat.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Thursday night, Chargers visiting the Chiefs game open to three
- 11:11Speaker 1: and a half. You can still find some three and
- 11:13Speaker 1: a half out there. There is now a four Chargers
- 11:18Speaker 1: plus four that might be a reaction to Keenan Allen
- 11:22Speaker 1: not playing in the game. I was very impressed with
- 11:26Speaker 1: the Chiefs, which we expected. You and I both a
- 11:30Speaker 1: little underwhelmed by the Chargers. What say you, yeah, I
- 11:35Speaker 1: just I mean, coming in, I was just so hyped
- 11:38Speaker 1: about the Chiefs team. So that was one of those
- 11:40Speaker 1: where it's like God, that felt good, like just watching
- 11:42Speaker 1: them absolutely destroy when I've put way too much money
- 11:46Speaker 1: into the Chiefs futures, all these different things, just fading,
- 11:48Speaker 1: all the public noise about my homes. In fact, that
- 11:51Speaker 1: came out and put forty four extreme confidence the Chargers.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Other way, it's like their offense look sloppy. They had
- 11:57Speaker 1: a lot of players left on the fields out. Mike
- 12:00Speaker 1: Williams was not existent in that game, which was bizarre
- 12:02Speaker 1: to me. Um Herbert's talents unreal. Like there's a throw again,
- 12:07Speaker 1: he's he's still doing really stupid ship And that's why
- 12:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna be my issue with Herbert. He stared this down,
- 12:12Speaker 1: this post route, this this guy he really right up
- 12:14Speaker 1: the field. He stared him all the way down and
- 12:15Speaker 1: throw it between two guys with another safety coming over top,
- 12:19Speaker 1: Like I want, I got throw that only maybe the
- 12:20Speaker 1: other guys in the whole leak can make. And that
- 12:23Speaker 1: to me is Herbert's issue right now, is he's so
- 12:25Speaker 1: talented he can get away with these things where the
- 12:28Speaker 1: checkdown was there, the checkdown for an easy ten or
- 12:31Speaker 1: twenty was there, instead of taking this high risk throw
- 12:34Speaker 1: and pushing it down field. So yeah, the pro and me, God,
- 12:37Speaker 1: I want to bet this Charger's number so bad, Like
- 12:39Speaker 1: this is crazy. This number should be three, three and
- 12:41Speaker 1: a half. The fact that you said it's up to four,
- 12:44Speaker 1: I cant his weight and I'll grab the Chargers that
- 12:46Speaker 1: way cannot fault you feel like the Chiefs. To me,
- 12:48Speaker 1: the Chiefs are the better team right now, the we're
- 12:51Speaker 1: complete team, the biggest advantage right now for the Chargers
- 12:54Speaker 1: of that defense. Like Bosa, he was a game record
- 12:57Speaker 1: in that game. We saw Clil mac at At absolutely
- 13:01Speaker 1: game wrecked that game. Wow, Like that to me is
- 13:04Speaker 1: where I stopped. And I'm just like, Okay, if I'm
- 13:06Speaker 1: gonna bet it, I'll probably end up on the dog
- 13:07Speaker 1: on the under. But yeah, not knock. No chances will
- 13:10Speaker 1: be one of our five. Because there's no strong feeling
- 13:12Speaker 1: to me, and I'm a I'm a chiefs Omer. I
- 13:15Speaker 1: just really can't shick how much I love this Chief's
- 13:17Speaker 1: team and how much I love the offense they're running again.
- 13:19Speaker 1: We talked about to switch up their offense. Safeties have
- 13:22Speaker 1: to drop in. We saw what myhomes did. He just
- 13:24Speaker 1: picked them apart. So I am so fired up for
- 13:27Speaker 1: this game because to me, this might be the game
- 13:28Speaker 1: of the week. Yeah, I think it is. Uh, these
- 13:31Speaker 1: two teams when they play each other, it's just pretty
- 13:33Speaker 1: epic and you can count on And this is what
- 13:35Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about. You can count on
- 13:40Speaker 1: um unconditioned, untraditional decisions being made by the Chargers and
- 13:46Speaker 1: odd spots, which makes me worry about betting them. Normally
- 13:51Speaker 1: Charges plus four divisional game team that looked a little
- 13:54Speaker 1: bit worse, whereas the team that looks a little bit
- 13:56Speaker 1: better auto auto play. I on the Chargers on short
- 14:02Speaker 1: numbers because I can't count on them trying to get
- 14:06Speaker 1: as many points as possible. Right they are going to
- 14:11Speaker 1: go for broke. If they have a chance to go
- 14:14Speaker 1: for on fourth down at midfield, they may. If they
- 14:16Speaker 1: have a chance to go for a touchdown in the
- 14:18Speaker 1: five yard line on fourth down instead of kicking a
- 14:20Speaker 1: field goal, they may. So I don't know if they
- 14:23Speaker 1: will accrue enough points to keep it close. It's kind
- 14:26Speaker 1: of gonna be an all or nothing scenario for me.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And if you just want to acttion on this game,
- 14:31Speaker 1: I play a love from our guy Jill Galant is
- 14:34Speaker 1: Herbert their score rushing touchdown three out of four games
- 14:37Speaker 1: since in his career. He's bet against the Chiefs, he's
- 14:38Speaker 1: had a rushing touchdown. Right now, you can get a
- 14:41Speaker 1: plus four fifty at a book. I can't say you
- 14:44Speaker 1: get a plus four at vandal. So it's funny you
- 14:47Speaker 1: mentioned Jill because these any time touchdown props have become
- 14:51Speaker 1: a really big deal. People love betting him. Jill is
- 14:54Speaker 1: an expert at them. He cast a couple this past
- 14:57Speaker 1: weekend too. We will have Action Island me you Vegas
- 15:03Speaker 1: Refund Joe Gallant, Darren Ravel with market updates, presented by
- 15:07Speaker 1: Fandel Thursday, five thirty pm in the Action Network gapp
- 15:10Speaker 1: on YouTube, on Twitter, anywhere you get your Action Network content. Uh,
- 15:15Speaker 1: Joe will be on there. We'll talk about uh single game,
- 15:18Speaker 1: same game, parlays, touchdown props, all that kind of stuff.
- 15:21Speaker 1: All right, So this is gonna be a hold right
- 15:22Speaker 1: now because by the time people here our next show,
- 15:25Speaker 1: we won't be able to pick this game. So that's right,
- 15:27Speaker 1: all right, Colts on the road at the Jaguars right now,
- 15:34Speaker 1: the best number you can get is Jack's plus four
- 15:36Speaker 1: and a half. But it's minus one twelve, so it's
- 15:38Speaker 1: a little bit juiced, which means that it's probably gonna
- 15:40Speaker 1: go down to four. This approached Joe's game. Here, sixty
- 15:45Speaker 1: of the bets on the Colts, nine percent of the
- 15:50Speaker 1: money on the Jacks. And it's not like there's no
- 15:53Speaker 1: bets here. There's a decent number of bets. So I
- 15:56Speaker 1: will tell you I said this. I bet the Jacks
- 15:59Speaker 1: Sunday night at plus four and a half. I was
- 16:01Speaker 1: worried the four and a half would be gone immediately. Yeah,
- 16:04Speaker 1: no brainer, no brainer for four and four and a half.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Right when this never came out, I knew we were
- 16:10Speaker 1: gonna be on it. Uh again, we've the any time
- 16:13Speaker 1: time again. This Colds team is just historically overvalued, and
- 16:17Speaker 1: I loved it. I wanted to make it one of
- 16:19Speaker 1: our plays. But there's other games I do really like more.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Maybe by Thursday this will become I guaranteed to be
- 16:25Speaker 1: one of our five. But how do you know. I
- 16:27Speaker 1: take the Jaguars at home after a loss and position
- 16:29Speaker 1: against the Colds team that again, I don't say they're flow,
- 16:32Speaker 1: they're frauds, but they have weaknesses and those weekns is
- 16:36Speaker 1: gonna be exploited. Houston literally let them walk back into
- 16:39Speaker 1: that game. I just can't see this Jaguars team doing
- 16:41Speaker 1: the same thing. After that loss last week, they looked Yeah,
- 16:45Speaker 1: they had moments of yeah, they look kind of young
- 16:47Speaker 1: and lost, like Chad was saying, the other moments where
- 16:50Speaker 1: it's like, I can see why the hype is around
- 16:52Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in this offense and the defense. Their defense
- 16:54Speaker 1: was making plays against Wentz and there's some issues at
- 16:57Speaker 1: their quarterback positions. So yeah, I love this matchup for
- 17:00Speaker 1: this Jaguars team. Historically, they've owned the Colts at home.
- 17:04Speaker 1: We know the history of these two. So four and
- 17:06Speaker 1: four and a half. I would grab that number now
- 17:08Speaker 1: if you can at that four and a half. I
- 17:10Speaker 1: don't think I'll be there by Thursday. I'm going to
- 17:12Speaker 1: say something right now. Executive decision, the choice between the
- 17:20Speaker 1: unthinkable and the impossible. Executive decision. I love this Jack's team,
- 17:29Speaker 1: and I didn't see anything on Sunday that made me
- 17:31Speaker 1: think differently other than they're young and made bad mistakes
- 17:35Speaker 1: that can be corrected. A lot of this was on
- 17:37Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. He missed three touchdown passes. He corrects a
- 17:43Speaker 1: couple of things, he pulls back on the throttle a
- 17:47Speaker 1: little bit. Doug Peterson can get them there there's no
- 17:50Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. Jags plus four and a half
- 17:53Speaker 1: market down. Executive decision, will put it in the app
- 17:57Speaker 1: Action Network app, Follow the Favorites podcast Jack's plus four
- 18:00Speaker 1: and a half love it? Yeah, all right? Dolphins visiting
- 18:06Speaker 1: the Ravens plus three and a half. The number moved
- 18:10Speaker 1: down from four. This is an interesting team. You love
- 18:16Speaker 1: the Dolphins, Chad, I you know what I don't. They're
- 18:21Speaker 1: getting majority of the money. Good. The number opened at four.
- 18:28Speaker 1: What's come down a little bit, But I'm not sold yet.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Like I think the Patriots are worse than we think.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson is going to play his mind out.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I think that the Dolphins can be overhyped, over confident.
- 18:46Speaker 1: And it's different when you're playing a team you're better
- 18:49Speaker 1: than at home than going on the road against a
- 18:52Speaker 1: team that I think, as we've talked about, can win
- 18:55Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So as we're talking, I like the Ravens,
- 19:00Speaker 1: but I'm gonna wake because I think this number is
- 19:01Speaker 1: going to go to three. I love the Ravens and
- 19:04Speaker 1: I'm doing the exact same thing Chads do. I'm waiting
- 19:06Speaker 1: on it. This was a no brain as soon as
- 19:08Speaker 1: I watched the tape on TOA and that game. Because
- 19:10Speaker 1: I honestly watch much of that Miami game. I bet
- 19:13Speaker 1: heavy on the under and already had money in Miami
- 19:15Speaker 1: and minus two AF. We talked about Chad, We're like,
- 19:17Speaker 1: if this number is still under three, we were all
- 19:19Speaker 1: in on Miami. Unfortunately was three and a half in
- 19:21Speaker 1: our contest, so we just stayed away. But man, Miami
- 19:25Speaker 1: is going to be hyped up just because their fan
- 19:27Speaker 1: base is so ravaged. And again to Uh, he was
- 19:32Speaker 1: he was begging to throw a couple of picks in
- 19:34Speaker 1: that game against to England, and to me it said
- 19:36Speaker 1: more about New England being underprepared, which is insane for
- 19:38Speaker 1: a Belichick team. But we all heard all the stories
- 19:41Speaker 1: coming out of other camp all off season and it
- 19:44Speaker 1: turned out to be true of their offense was totally dysfunctional.
- 19:46Speaker 1: So just looking at this number, I hope Jad's right
- 19:50Speaker 1: it gets down to that. But I had this number
- 19:52Speaker 1: four anyway, so I would take it up to four
- 19:54Speaker 1: regardless with the Ravens. But I'm always looking for the
- 19:56Speaker 1: best number, so I have no problem waiting on this. Uh.
- 19:59Speaker 1: To me, again, we talked all the time about putting
- 20:01Speaker 1: favorites in this is one of the favorites I circled
- 20:03Speaker 1: right away. I love I love this Ravens team and
- 20:07Speaker 1: the fact that Lamar is now a known Miami Dolphins guy,
- 20:12Speaker 1: where he's liking Miami Dolphins pictures of him dressed in
- 20:15Speaker 1: uniform with the helm and all the gear on. He
- 20:17Speaker 1: used to say, this isn't a trial for Lamar trying
- 20:19Speaker 1: to show off to this Miami team. So everything about it.
- 20:22Speaker 1: It's his hometown team. Um, the fact that you know,
- 20:27Speaker 1: not that they didn't look great against the Jets, but
- 20:30Speaker 1: that was a little bit of sweat. There's moments there
- 20:31Speaker 1: the Jets were kind of in that game against the Ravens.
- 20:33Speaker 1: They just look sloppy. I think it's what we talked
- 20:35Speaker 1: about the time. They're current quarterbacks. They probably should have
- 20:37Speaker 1: play in the preseason. Maybe Littlemar is one of them,
- 20:39Speaker 1: because he didn't look right until that second half. So
- 20:42Speaker 1: I love this matchup Ravens at home with that defense
- 20:45Speaker 1: against an overrated Miami team where I might be one
- 20:48Speaker 1: of this bit that I have overrated him, but this
- 20:50Speaker 1: is one of those from Miami. You have to win
- 20:52Speaker 1: this game. You want to be one of the top
- 20:53Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. You want to win the division
- 20:56Speaker 1: over the over the Bills. You have to win this game,
- 20:59Speaker 1: no doubt about. This is statement game because I talk,
- 21:02Speaker 1: we think the Ravens are top two, top three team
- 21:04Speaker 1: in the a f C. So I'm excited as hell. Again,
- 21:08Speaker 1: there's a bunch of good games this week. This is
- 21:09Speaker 1: another one. It's like, great game taking the Ravens at home.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Keep anything under four, I think you're getting good value.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Well all right, So that raises the question in the
- 21:18Speaker 1: Action Network gap just now, I said an alert for
- 21:21Speaker 1: when this line gets to three. Why wouldn't I just wait?
- 21:25Speaker 1: I think it's going to get there. You're already you
- 21:27Speaker 1: know you can pay three and a half minus one
- 21:30Speaker 1: oh five. So they're gonna ask me to They're they're
- 21:35Speaker 1: begging me to bet the three and a half right now.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Why don't I just wait when I know the tickets
- 21:39Speaker 1: and the money are coming in on the Ravens on Miami.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Are they're coming on the Ravens, I mean on the
- 21:45Speaker 1: on Miami. Yeah, that's fair to wait to me. I'm
- 21:48Speaker 1: just gonna grab it just to be safe, because I
- 21:49Speaker 1: know other pros are looking at this number like I'm
- 21:52Speaker 1: not the only one that has a model or and
- 21:54Speaker 1: talking other guys. So I know a couple of groups
- 21:56Speaker 1: that are waiting for that three. See. I don't hate
- 21:58Speaker 1: it waiting for that, but it might only up there
- 22:00Speaker 1: for a second and the books will just bump it
- 22:01Speaker 1: right back to three and a half. So yeah, no,
- 22:04Speaker 1: no shoe waiting. If you're only gonna bet this game
- 22:05Speaker 1: one time, wait, mem I've to bet multiple times. I've
- 22:08Speaker 1: already hit it a couple of times. You bet games
- 22:11Speaker 1: a lot, you bet the same side a lot. I
- 22:14Speaker 1: tend not to do that. Well, you don't have a
- 22:17Speaker 1: ship huge bank roll to blow away on the games.
- 22:19Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, I love Chad. Chad is my
- 22:22Speaker 1: boss of this job. You know I won five times.
- 22:25Speaker 1: When Chad pays me for a year in two hours,
- 22:27Speaker 1: it's like high risk, high reward. I bet the Ravens
- 22:31Speaker 1: way too many times. Did I sleep at all? No,
- 22:33Speaker 1: Chad saw me Sunday morning. I literally couldn't sleep. It's
- 22:36Speaker 1: like I had way too much money out for a
- 22:38Speaker 1: week one Yeah, I got really lucky that everything pretty
- 22:42Speaker 1: much hit except like maybe one big bet. So that
- 22:44Speaker 1: that's that was probably my bigger weekends other than a
- 22:47Speaker 1: super Bowl. Why do you have to make me feel
- 22:50Speaker 1: bad about it. I'm sorry, like you're belittling me or something.
- 22:57Speaker 1: All right, Jets, Brown's Brown's minus six. Brown's broke my heart.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I don't think they should have won that game. Jets
- 23:07Speaker 1: were terrible. Of the money coming in on the Jets
- 23:13Speaker 1: right now at plus six him it yeah, because I
- 23:16Speaker 1: want to take the Jets. I feel like this is
- 23:18Speaker 1: a nice little spot for them. But hopefully that's professional money.
- 23:21Speaker 1: If that's public money, that's that's that's trouble. That's a
- 23:24Speaker 1: public dog. Um. I don't have to deal with it.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I like the Jets. Historically, teams that get blown out
- 23:30Speaker 1: at home then go on the road in week two,
- 23:31Speaker 1: I think Van put it out. They hit at sixty
- 23:33Speaker 1: or six or six. Right, Historically it's good. Right Week two,
- 23:38Speaker 1: team gets embarrassed at home, they go on the road
- 23:39Speaker 1: and they usually cover. So just playing the number, I
- 23:42Speaker 1: think you're getting good number. I had it at four.
- 23:44Speaker 1: It's alway up the six again. Flacco is bad. The
- 23:47Speaker 1: Jets are bad. I don't know if Checoble percents that
- 23:50Speaker 1: much better. I watched a decent amount of Cleveland game.
- 23:52Speaker 1: I felt like it was more about Baker that made
- 23:53Speaker 1: that Cleveland have those points that kind of kept that
- 23:56Speaker 1: game closer. If Flacco just asn't terrible as Baker was,
- 24:00Speaker 1: like he wasn't at first half. I can see the
- 24:02Speaker 1: music fling the sum which is just two really bad teams.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I don't know if you actually have on it. The
- 24:06Speaker 1: under feels safe to even though it's like I get
- 24:09Speaker 1: it other guys, like I've talked to you, pros usually
- 24:11Speaker 1: take the overs in this because they expect a lot
- 24:13Speaker 1: of turnovers. I don't. I've seen both these teams offenses
- 24:16Speaker 1: last week. They both kind of are very conservative, so
- 24:19Speaker 1: I think it's a safer playing the under um. But yeah,
- 24:22Speaker 1: I will most likely take that six six and a half.
- 24:25Speaker 1: But it's one of the games I have not bet yet.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell weighs in the New York Jets out gained
- 24:31Speaker 1: Baltimore by a hundred and four yards. Doesn't change anything
- 24:36Speaker 1: I feel about Baltimore against Miami. To me, that is
- 24:39Speaker 1: a public perception play in which public perception is leaning
- 24:43Speaker 1: too hard into the Dolphins right now. But it does
- 24:45Speaker 1: make me think about the Jets and look, we can't
- 24:48Speaker 1: lose the credit of our convictions, right if if this
- 24:52Speaker 1: were Week one, we would have played the Jets just
- 24:55Speaker 1: because we saw how bad they were doesn't mean that
- 24:58Speaker 1: the number isn't inflated on Browns who went on the
- 25:01Speaker 1: road and wanted a high profile matchup. So there's a
- 25:05Speaker 1: lot of signals there that say, betting the Jets, it's
- 25:09Speaker 1: like betting on the Seahawks plus six and a half
- 25:11Speaker 1: against the Broncos. It just might be something we have
- 25:14Speaker 1: to do that's fair, you know what I mean? Yeah,
- 25:18Speaker 1: honestly would I would like to see a go up higher.
- 25:20Speaker 1: But like the fact that so much pro money is
- 25:22Speaker 1: already coming on them, um, it could drop. So if
- 25:24Speaker 1: if you do, or if you're like Chad, you just
- 25:26Speaker 1: want to grab the six, now grab it. But I'll
- 25:27Speaker 1: wait and see, Like it's six and a half, I'm
- 25:29Speaker 1: gonna wait. I'm definitely gonna wait. Alrighty, I was just
- 25:34Speaker 1: making a note. I got a lot of notes. I
- 25:36Speaker 1: gotta run a show. Like you might just be a
- 25:38Speaker 1: professional better who's betting five times in a weekend what
- 25:41Speaker 1: I'm paying you in a year. But I'm trying to
- 25:43Speaker 1: keep a show rolling. Okay, you say it like you
- 25:48Speaker 1: say it like we're not even friends. We are friends.
- 25:51Speaker 1: I say, like, you're not really my boss, which you
- 25:53Speaker 1: say you are my boss, but I view more as
- 25:55Speaker 1: a friend. It was hurtful. I just want to say
- 25:57Speaker 1: that was hurtful. It may be good. I'm just saying
- 26:00Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's the way you refer to
- 26:03Speaker 1: me as like your boss, Like yeah, I guess, but
- 26:08Speaker 1: I don't know. We're friends, right friends. First football season

- 28:13Speaker 1: a lot of pain. I don't know how the Saints
- 28:15Speaker 1: won that game. Boy, the Falcons. It's like, here's what
- 28:19Speaker 1: I love. You know how I feel about a f
- 28:21Speaker 1: C and NFC South teams that they're totally irrelevant, No
- 28:25Speaker 1: one cares about them and outside of their specific city limits,
- 28:29Speaker 1: if they didn't exist, it wouldn't matter. The eight teams
- 28:35Speaker 1: in the NFC and a f C South, I think
- 28:38Speaker 1: they won two games, including teams that played each other
- 28:42Speaker 1: in the Colts in the Texas UH and the Buccaneers
- 28:45Speaker 1: and the Saints are the two teams that won. Saints
- 28:48Speaker 1: two and a half point home dogs. Of course you
- 28:51Speaker 1: got to play it um if you can get three,
- 28:53Speaker 1: that's great. Bets on the Bucks, money on the Saints. Pros.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Joe's give me the Saints. Foxel Yeah, easy, bad Foxhole.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Let's clide down into the foxhole. If you like this
- 29:12Speaker 1: show and you've listened to it a multiple years now.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Saints are four now against Tom Brady since he joined
- 29:18Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, and me and Chad just blindly every time
- 29:21Speaker 1: have taken the Saints because they're always under value and
- 29:24Speaker 1: for some reason their defense has just figured out Brady.
- 29:26Speaker 1: So no surprise that the public has come back in
- 29:29Speaker 1: on Tom. They forget what happened that that did not
- 29:33Speaker 1: look like the Brady of old. That game against the
- 29:36Speaker 1: Dallas team that you left a lot of points in
- 29:38Speaker 1: the field, which Brady does not do. We saw their
- 29:40Speaker 1: offensive line kind of have major problems. Right. It's like, again,
- 29:45Speaker 1: if you don't have Julio and Mike Evans, that would
- 29:48Speaker 1: be a really bad Bucks team. But luckily for him,
- 29:50Speaker 1: he's got great weapons outside. You can stay competitive, but
- 29:53Speaker 1: scary when you have a forty five year old quarterback
- 29:55Speaker 1: with that bad of offensive line. And I do think
- 29:57Speaker 1: NFC there's gonna be big, big value in this division.
- 30:00Speaker 1: And we talked I mean at this conference, we talked
- 30:01Speaker 1: about in the summer because no one knows, like how
- 30:04Speaker 1: much doubt do we have right now about Green Bay,
- 30:06Speaker 1: the Rams and the Buccaneers a lot. And again we
- 30:09Speaker 1: try not to overreact just a week one, but man,
- 30:12Speaker 1: these teams they had weaknesses last year, it felt like
- 30:14Speaker 1: they all quantified even more. It's way more, way more
- 30:17Speaker 1: weaknesses for all these teams. And we've seen the Eagles
- 30:20Speaker 1: U super OOW odds drop way down. I think they're
- 30:23Speaker 1: thirteen to one at FanDuel Um. Just because of that,
- 30:26Speaker 1: it's like the NFC seems wide open. So just this matchup.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Saints defensively match up great up with the offense there jamis,
- 30:33Speaker 1: but man hurting all over the best best interview in
- 30:36Speaker 1: football everything. He says, it's hilarious. You went into the
- 30:39Speaker 1: medical tent at one point, came back out. Where was
- 30:42Speaker 1: the pain? Jamis? Yeah, just paying It was paining everywhere,
- 30:45Speaker 1: so we gotta keep all pushing through and being resuming.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Michael Thomas looked good, right, he looked. He looked amazing
- 30:51Speaker 1: in the red zone, which was weird. Um. I don't
- 30:53Speaker 1: know if that's strategically by them not to have him
- 30:55Speaker 1: running all the way up and down the field, like
- 30:57Speaker 1: keeping his legs fresh. But the same old Michael Tom
- 31:00Speaker 1: miss and Winston is taking a huge advantage of that.
- 31:02Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I like this matchup. I can see
- 31:06Speaker 1: this being one of me and Chad's five, like you can.
- 31:08Speaker 1: I almost wanted to make it my Simon says, but
- 31:10Speaker 1: there's another game. I'm even grosser. I'm gonna get people
- 31:13Speaker 1: in on. Look, there are plus threes around. I highly
- 31:16Speaker 1: recommend you find one, uh and get it because it
- 31:20Speaker 1: is plus three and plus two and a half. And
- 31:23Speaker 1: if you get a plus three, it's at minus one
- 31:25Speaker 1: oh five, which means it's going to two and a half.
- 31:28Speaker 1: So look fast, uh assignment. I've added to our list
- 31:32Speaker 1: right now the two games that we love the most
- 31:34Speaker 1: that we are going to be debating. Jack's four and
- 31:37Speaker 1: a half Saints plus three. It's gonna be ugly every
- 31:41Speaker 1: single week. It's gonna be terrible. Patriots. This line is
- 31:46Speaker 1: all over the place. You can get the Patriots minus one,
- 31:49Speaker 1: you can get the Steelers plus two pretty much even money,
- 31:53Speaker 1: a little bit more ticket activity on the Steelers. I mean,
- 31:58Speaker 1: the Steelers are bad. We got them in the exact
- 32:01Speaker 1: right spot. It was a raw ra Mike Tomlins spot. Okay,
- 32:05Speaker 1: we knew it. Every better knew it. Plus six and
- 32:08Speaker 1: a half. They were a huge play for everybody at
- 32:10Speaker 1: the Action Network. I know Stucky on the Action Network
- 32:13Speaker 1: Pod loved him. You know, he didn't urinate down his leg. Man,
- 32:16Speaker 1: It's a great place to begin. Patriots looked terrible, terrible
- 32:21Speaker 1: against Miami. I mean it's tough, though. What do we do.
- 32:23Speaker 1: We don't know what's happened with mac. Mac apparently has
- 32:26Speaker 1: it banged up back, I can't really do much. Again,
- 32:28Speaker 1: It's a game where I looked at it instantly thinking
- 32:31Speaker 1: New England, no brainer. You take New England here. Every
- 32:33Speaker 1: time Pittsburgh huge, huge win over a divisional foe. What
- 32:38Speaker 1: was a five four turnovers by the Bengals and they
- 32:40Speaker 1: won by three more than that? Right, So it's like
- 32:45Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was gonna be an auto faith that was gonna
- 32:48Speaker 1: be an easy bet against them. I do think Mac
- 32:51Speaker 1: is good. I know he looked terrible against Miami last week,
- 32:54Speaker 1: but I do think this kid's good. So I want
- 32:57Speaker 1: to wait and see because I love this play Like
- 32:59Speaker 1: it's it's easy to bet New England in this situation
- 33:03Speaker 1: just because of what Pittsburgh didn't what that's happened to them, right,
- 33:06Speaker 1: losing a divisional game. But man, like, if Mac is out,
- 33:11Speaker 1: I can't do it. It's like who is that horrier?
- 33:14Speaker 1: I'm not even sure their backup that makes sense? So yeah,
- 33:17Speaker 1: I just I can't can't touch the game until I
- 33:20Speaker 1: know the definition of who's playing. So that's definitely when
- 33:22Speaker 1: we'll bring back up on Thursday. So now Baker is
- 33:25Speaker 1: on the road. Is a two and a half point dog.
- 33:27Speaker 1: This number has moved up. It opened it one. Now
- 33:30Speaker 1: it's a two and a half against the Giants, who like, look,
- 33:35Speaker 1: they stayed in the game against the Titans, but they
- 33:38Speaker 1: stayed in the game because the Titans were like that
- 33:42Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who I think is new it really has
- 33:46Speaker 1: to re evaluate what he's doing because the play calling
- 33:50Speaker 1: was just terrible. I watched a lot of that game.
- 33:54Speaker 1: It's one of those games where I had the Titans
- 33:55Speaker 1: in the survivor pool, so I was upset about that,
- 33:58Speaker 1: but I really wanted to be right about the Titans
- 34:00Speaker 1: at five and a half, or I wanted the wise
- 34:03Speaker 1: guys to be wrong about the Giants at five and
- 34:04Speaker 1: a half because we were so on it. So I
- 34:07Speaker 1: was rooting for the Titans and against the Giants, even
- 34:09Speaker 1: though I had no financial interest other than the survivor
- 34:12Speaker 1: pools and like fun. At half half time, we were
- 34:19Speaker 1: feeling good, thirty feel great. Yeah, we were feeling great.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Through the third quarter, they just gave the game away.
- 34:25Speaker 1: So that's again this is the Giants thing where they
- 34:29Speaker 1: had one big run by se Quon set up a touchdown.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Then they had one big catch by who was a shepherd,
- 34:34Speaker 1: some receiver Shepherd. Yeah, touchdown, right, so now it's thirteen thirteen.
- 34:40Speaker 1: This is like literally, this was one minute. They just
- 34:42Speaker 1: did all that, Like the Titans went three and now
- 34:44Speaker 1: gave it back. So they put up thirteen points in
- 34:46Speaker 1: one minute. Then I'm not even joke. I think it
- 34:50Speaker 1: was twenty eight minutes went by or twenty seven minutes
- 34:53Speaker 1: went by. The Giants did nothing right, so they're down
- 34:55Speaker 1: seven at this point. Daniel Dimes, Danny Dimes drives the field,
- 35:00Speaker 1: crushes me, and Chat scores a touchdown, gets a two pointer,
- 35:03Speaker 1: and then they missed the field goal, so yeah, magical.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Instantly knew I was going to fade a team that
- 35:09Speaker 1: won a game all three plays like that's that's a
- 35:12Speaker 1: miracle team right there. So to me, the Giants, I
- 35:15Speaker 1: was praying, even though I had money to Panthers, I
- 35:17Speaker 1: was kind of praying they were gonna lose here so
- 35:19Speaker 1: they will get a great number in this matchup because
- 35:21Speaker 1: I knew this was gonna be an easy, easy bet
- 35:23Speaker 1: taking the Panthers here. Like again, it was my own fault.
- 35:27Speaker 1: You should listen to the prosch I just said it
- 35:28Speaker 1: like every pro I knew was talking about being on
- 35:30Speaker 1: the Giants, and I just couldn't see it, and that's football.
- 35:34Speaker 1: That did not make any sense how they want to
- 35:35Speaker 1: cover that game other than it's football. It's like these
- 35:39Speaker 1: things happened. So just look at this matchup. Baker horrible
- 35:43Speaker 1: first half, incredible second half. Literally looked like he figured
- 35:46Speaker 1: out and put it together for that second half. It
- 35:47Speaker 1: was a little too late, right, can't turn it over
- 35:49Speaker 1: that many times, give that many points, I expect to
- 35:52Speaker 1: come back. They need a miracle kick, miracle field goal,
- 35:55Speaker 1: I should say, by Cleveland to win that game. So again,
- 35:58Speaker 1: we know Caroline has talent. They matched up l against
- 36:01Speaker 1: a Cleveland team that, other than the quarterback position, has
- 36:03Speaker 1: really good talents. So just going off the matchup, had
- 36:06Speaker 1: this game as a pick because again I have Carolina
- 36:09Speaker 1: graded as a higher grade. People don't realize the history.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Danny dimes at home not good. You fade Danny at home,
- 36:16Speaker 1: you bet him on the road. Historically, he's just always
- 36:18Speaker 1: been that way. So to me, hoping we get a
- 36:21Speaker 1: three Chad, but that's a contest play real life. Of
- 36:24Speaker 1: course we won the three. Three and a half would
- 36:26Speaker 1: be amazing. Still find Ben at two and a half again,
- 36:28Speaker 1: money line play if you want it, I would take
- 36:30Speaker 1: the two and a half because we've seen two and
- 36:32Speaker 1: a half actually does matter nowadays. Teams missed extra points
- 36:35Speaker 1: and that does matter the two and a half. But
- 36:37Speaker 1: I understand if you just want to do the money line.
- 36:38Speaker 1: I just I love Caroline in this position. Yeah it Uh.
- 36:43Speaker 1: This is one of those things where you've got to
- 36:45Speaker 1: watch some of the games. You've got to read the
- 36:47Speaker 1: box scores. You gotta know more than what the highlights
- 36:51Speaker 1: are telling you, because if you only watch the highlights,
- 36:56Speaker 1: Baker botched it. The Giants are a miracle team full
- 37:03Speaker 1: of guts because they went for a two point conversion
- 37:07Speaker 1: when they were down nineteen. And then the Titans, by
- 37:11Speaker 1: the way, who drove down the field and then wasted
- 37:14Speaker 1: a time, wasted time, wasted a time out, and then
- 37:18Speaker 1: went backwards to kick a forty seven year field goal
- 37:21Speaker 1: that they missed. So the Giants had no business winning
- 37:23Speaker 1: this game, and they will be worse at home because
- 37:25Speaker 1: that's what Danny Dimes does. Panthers plus two and a half.
- 37:28Speaker 1: We've just added it to the list. As always. The
- 37:33Speaker 1: three teams we love so far are in the a
- 37:36Speaker 1: f C and NFC. South Jacks, Jack Saints Panthers. Uh, reminder,
- 37:45Speaker 1: our foxhold game right now is the Saints plus three
- 37:49Speaker 1: if you can get it. Jags plus four and a
- 37:50Speaker 1: half is the exact decision. We've still got a sign
- 37:53Speaker 1: and says to talk about this is interesting, all right,
- 37:58Speaker 1: Washington commanders on the road at the Detroit Lions, who
- 38:03Speaker 1: are slight favorites. I'm seeing one and a half to
- 38:06Speaker 1: two and a half. What say you don't have a
- 38:09Speaker 1: great feeling for this game because I really wanted Detroit
- 38:11Speaker 1: to be a dog at home. I thought the public
- 38:13Speaker 1: could be all over Washington. But I think it's kind
- 38:15Speaker 1: of the Carson Wentz effect, right, They're not really buying
- 38:17Speaker 1: it and they kind of view him as a question.
- 38:20Speaker 1: A lot of questions just around this matchup. Both two
- 38:23Speaker 1: teams that could overachieve greatly this season, Like they both
- 38:27Speaker 1: have a lot of talent on offense. Both these teams,
- 38:29Speaker 1: UH with questions on their defensive side. So not gonna
- 38:33Speaker 1: be one of our five slides. Too close to evenly
- 38:36Speaker 1: matched teams leaning towards the Lions, just like them at home,
- 38:40Speaker 1: and it bounced back spot. They showed me a lot
- 38:46Speaker 1: on offense last week, like the fact that they kept
- 38:49Speaker 1: coming back again. I switched to channel as an ELS fan,
- 38:52Speaker 1: I was like, this is done. There's other games I'd
- 38:54Speaker 1: rather check out. They came back lines like they just
- 38:56Speaker 1: don't give up. There are just a gretty team have
- 39:00Speaker 1: to win this game, Like if I am going to
- 39:02Speaker 1: win any sort of futures on this team, this is
- 39:04Speaker 1: a must win. So way way bigger and more important
- 39:07Speaker 1: game for both these teams. Deaf in the lines means more.
- 39:11Speaker 1: I guess under three, under two, whatever you can get
- 39:13Speaker 1: it at. I would take the lines, but I just
- 39:15Speaker 1: can't see it. I mean, when I meet one of
- 39:17Speaker 1: our five, just because there's other favorites I like more.
- 39:20Speaker 1: You don't sound convinced, like, as I'm sitting here, I
- 39:23Speaker 1: bet that I bet the Panthers, I bet the Saints,
- 39:26Speaker 1: I bet the Jaguars. Already, I don't feel great about
- 39:29Speaker 1: betting the Lions here. I'm going to the I can
- 39:32Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. It's just yeah, it
- 39:34Speaker 1: will be one of my biggest seven or eight bets.
- 39:36Speaker 1: Probably not the Seattle Seahawks, the resurgence Seattle Seahawks. The
- 39:41Speaker 1: geno Smith doesn't get written off by himself. Seahawks. They
- 39:46Speaker 1: wrote me off. I ain't right back though, that's the problem.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Al right back, Let's go on the road. Double digit
- 39:52Speaker 1: dogs at San Francisco. Money coming in, early, money coming
- 39:57Speaker 1: in on the Seahawks. I went from not thinking the
- 40:01Speaker 1: Bears could beat the forty niners to being all in
- 40:04Speaker 1: on the Bears against the forty niners and any monsoon
- 40:10Speaker 1: we're terrible. What does your numbers say here? Simon says
- 40:15Speaker 1: that the Forts do love this game so much. It's
- 40:25Speaker 1: like classic overreaction of playing in a monsoon. There was
- 40:30Speaker 1: literally nothing you could take away from that game. Seattle
- 40:33Speaker 1: got every little break. I honestly, just looking on paper,
- 40:38Speaker 1: might run for four yards against the Seahawks defense. And
- 40:41Speaker 1: I know people think I'm more exaggerated. I'm not. That's
- 40:43Speaker 1: how bad this team has run defensively. Oh, Jamal Adams
- 40:47Speaker 1: is now out for the year. Their number one run stopper.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Problems for the Seahawks. Enjoy last night and like the fans,
- 40:55Speaker 1: everyone's all hyped. That was your Super Bowl Easy. It
- 40:59Speaker 1: was already to be a letdown spot. Um I knew
- 41:02Speaker 1: that coming in with the Seahawks. We were all over
- 41:04Speaker 1: that number. Did not see the Foeurhers playing as bad
- 41:06Speaker 1: as they did because I I didn't know the weather
- 41:08Speaker 1: it was gonna be like it was, but we were
- 41:09Speaker 1: on the Bears. But everything, everything is lined up. This
- 41:13Speaker 1: is such a nice situational play on this four nis team.
- 41:16Speaker 1: I take this up to thirteen. Um, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 41:21Speaker 1: it's I don't think you realize how bad the Seahawks
- 41:24Speaker 1: team is. Gino Smith played the half of his life.
- 41:27Speaker 1: What was the seventeen of eighteen chat or seventeen of seventeen.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I think they were up. I don't even know. It
- 41:32Speaker 1: might have been like three or three points or seven
- 41:34Speaker 1: points at half. It was just like, as as good
- 41:37Speaker 1: as Gino played, that team is just not built to
- 41:40Speaker 1: be great. This four ours team is built to be great.
- 41:43Speaker 1: The talent across the board you just couldn't see because
- 41:45Speaker 1: they're playing against the Bears in a mon soon. It's
- 41:49Speaker 1: that was crazy, Like that game made no sense. So
- 41:52Speaker 1: I love the value we're getting on the forty nine ers. Um,
- 41:54Speaker 1: we'll see what kind of number were getting the contest,
- 41:56Speaker 1: But to me, this is an auto play every time
- 42:00Speaker 1: this number with this team. You know what I love?
- 42:02Speaker 1: While you were talking, I went into the action app
- 42:07Speaker 1: hit forty niners minus nine and a half minus one
- 42:10Speaker 1: ten quick slipped right in the FanDuel had the bet
- 42:13Speaker 1: made in about fifteen seconds. Technology just beautiful. I guess
- 42:19Speaker 1: you're right. Like as soon as you said it, as
- 42:21Speaker 1: soon as you started talking about it, I started thinking, Look,
- 42:26Speaker 1: you don't have a choice. But also we're applying the
- 42:30Speaker 1: principles of a team looked horrible, look for the opportunity
- 42:34Speaker 1: to bet them as dogs, we still have to apply it.
- 42:37Speaker 1: A team looked too good, a team looked horrible, look
- 42:40Speaker 1: forward as an opportunity to bet a favorite. We can't
- 42:42Speaker 1: just bet underdogs like and ignore favorites. We see a
- 42:46Speaker 1: favorite right now? Is it nine and a half? That's
- 42:48Speaker 1: a good number. You like it at thirteen? If I
- 42:52Speaker 1: can take it nine and a a half, and people going
- 42:56Speaker 1: through the season along, I will be on Seattle a
- 42:58Speaker 1: lot like I just going through the season long. There's
- 43:00Speaker 1: not gonna be a lot opportunity with them, especially at home.
- 43:02Speaker 1: How many times they're catching a lot of points. This
- 43:05Speaker 1: is just not the time you want to back them,
- 43:06Speaker 1: Like after such an emotional win again their super Bowl.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Hell Man, I did not know Russell Wilson had russelled
- 43:13Speaker 1: so many people's feathers the wrong way. It seems like
- 43:16Speaker 1: a lot of people were better towards him in that organization.
- 43:19Speaker 1: So wow, like that's that's a lot to bounce back
- 43:23Speaker 1: from in such a what six day period for this
- 43:26Speaker 1: the Seahawks team. I just unless Trey Lances truly a bust,
- 43:29Speaker 1: that should be a layup win for this team. I
- 43:32Speaker 1: was surprised at how much he was booed. Me too,
- 43:36Speaker 1: I disagreed with that. Um as a fan, like of
- 43:39Speaker 1: an Eagles team that only had one good quarterback in
- 43:42Speaker 1: my lifetime, you could say, because I had one Super
- 43:43Speaker 1: Bowl from Nick Foles, there's no scenario I'd do Nick Foles.
- 43:48Speaker 1: But you know, the booze were flowing. It was Monday night.
- 43:50Speaker 1: They might feel bitter about it. Um. I just yeah,
- 43:53Speaker 1: me and chatter in agreement. You can't be doing booing
- 43:56Speaker 1: Hall of famers. Yeah, that was that just felt. I
- 43:59Speaker 1: thought the Seahawks fans were classier than that. Falcons on
- 44:04Speaker 1: the road at the Rams, two teams desperate for a win,
- 44:09Speaker 1: Falcons plus ten and a half. I mean the money
- 44:13Speaker 1: is coming in on the Falcons. I guess you take
- 44:17Speaker 1: the Falcons, you kind of hold your nose, But I'm
- 44:21Speaker 1: not dying too. Yeah, I'm not. It's not a contest
- 44:24Speaker 1: play No, I bet it, though. It's like I like
- 44:28Speaker 1: this Falcons team me and cha. I liked them coming in.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Did I know they're gonna be the probably best run
- 44:31Speaker 1: team of football? No, I thought it was be Baltimore.
- 44:34Speaker 1: But Cordell Patterson, Mariota, that's a nice one to punch
- 44:37Speaker 1: on the running side of things. So yeah, they're fun team.
- 44:40Speaker 1: We'll take the points with them. But I don't know.
- 44:43Speaker 1: It's extended rest for the Rams, I guess is maybe
- 44:45Speaker 1: the only reason I had a huge pause, and this
- 44:48Speaker 1: Atlanta team a little bit of you know, I don't
- 44:52Speaker 1: really know what to make of them. Like Mariota, he
- 44:55Speaker 1: had moments where he really flashed where I was like, Okay,
- 44:57Speaker 1: this this Lanta offense is gonna be really good this year,
- 45:00Speaker 1: and then you couldn't buy our first down in that
- 45:02Speaker 1: second half. So it is tough with this Atlantic team.
- 45:04Speaker 1: They have their warts um, but ten points ten a
- 45:07Speaker 1: half against a Rams team that has way more question marks, Yeah,
- 45:10Speaker 1: I get it. Where chats. I'll bet this, but won't
- 45:12Speaker 1: be one of our five Arizona Cardinals who looked terrible.
- 45:18Speaker 1: They were exactly what we thought they would be. And
- 45:19Speaker 1: this was a great example of I kind of was
- 45:22Speaker 1: leaning Cardinals on Tuesday, and you completely talked me out
- 45:26Speaker 1: of it. And I'm so glad not only did you
- 45:28Speaker 1: talk to me out of it, but we liked it
- 45:29Speaker 1: so much we put it in the contest. Game was
- 45:31Speaker 1: over four minutes in. They're on the road at the Raiders.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Raiders five and a half. Raiders look better than we planned,
- 45:38Speaker 1: or I shouldn't say better than we planned. I thought
- 45:41Speaker 1: that game was closer than even five points. And so
- 45:44Speaker 1: Raiders minus five and a half against the Cardinals team
- 45:47Speaker 1: that I think is terrible. Yeah, I know it's so chalky,
- 45:51Speaker 1: but I'm I'm I bet it. I bet them. I
- 45:53Speaker 1: think it was opened at three and a half. I
- 45:54Speaker 1: got it when I was at four. I thought about
- 45:56Speaker 1: again four and a half. I was like, you know,
- 45:57Speaker 1: I'll wait, I bet you goes back to four, and
- 45:59Speaker 1: then I went right up the five and a half.
- 46:00Speaker 1: So I clearly a group took a position on that.
- 46:03Speaker 1: I have no doubt. I'll find out who in the
- 46:05Speaker 1: next twenty four hours. I'm not going against whoever it is.
- 46:08Speaker 1: They moved a line that many points they know something,
- 46:11Speaker 1: So Auto Bay Auto played for me because those Raiders
- 46:14Speaker 1: opening opening game at home, if you remember last year,
- 46:17Speaker 1: I think it was them versus the Ravens. They were
- 46:20Speaker 1: like a six point dog at home in a money
- 46:22Speaker 1: night game and they beat them. They beat them straight up,
- 46:24Speaker 1: the Ravens. So we've learned this Raiders team, their fans
- 46:28Speaker 1: show up and they are a rowdy and they're allowed.
- 46:30Speaker 1: That's a true home field advantage there in Las Vegas.
- 46:32Speaker 1: So yeah, under six points against the Cardinals team that
- 46:36Speaker 1: I just don't have any faith in, Like chat again,
- 46:37Speaker 1: they're gonna win there, gonna cover some games. Kyler Murray
- 46:40Speaker 1: isn't out of this real talent, but this is a
- 46:42Speaker 1: bad spot for them coming to face a team that
- 46:45Speaker 1: it's just better across the board. But what about the
- 46:48Speaker 1: number if, like you didn't get it at two and
- 46:50Speaker 1: a half, three and a half, four and four and
- 46:52Speaker 1: a half, five and a half, just feels like if
- 46:55Speaker 1: we're supposed to follow the philosophy of get the best
- 46:57Speaker 1: of the number, we're a field go alof the best
- 47:00Speaker 1: the number you are, but still a good number because
- 47:03Speaker 1: it's under six, and to me, six is such a
- 47:05Speaker 1: key number, just as just as much as seven is.
- 47:08Speaker 1: So I think you are getting a good number. If
- 47:10Speaker 1: you believe in this, your team do it. If you're
- 47:12Speaker 1: a coward, you can tease it, like there's plenty of
- 47:14Speaker 1: times I'll tease it a game down because I'm a coward,
- 47:16Speaker 1: like I think I did when I give out Chiefs
- 47:18Speaker 1: and Ravens last week when I should just bet them straight.
- 47:20Speaker 1: But it's like I got such a good number now,
- 47:23Speaker 1: the number it moved, like Chad talked about. I usually
- 47:25Speaker 1: tease it because I overthink stuff, so to me, tease
- 47:29Speaker 1: it if you're scared. But five and a half is
- 47:30Speaker 1: still a good number, all right, Texans Broncos. How the
- 47:36Speaker 1: Broncos are ten point favorites over anybody right now? I
- 47:42Speaker 1: don't know really actually like the Broncos here, so we'll
- 47:45Speaker 1: just skip this on. I just look at the Broncos team.
- 47:48Speaker 1: Is they're really good? Russell Wilson is still pretty damn good.
- 47:51Speaker 1: They just made so many stupid mistakes. Their head coach
- 47:54Speaker 1: might be a complete idiot like that. That guy might
- 47:57Speaker 1: be fired mid with through the season if Elway sees
- 47:59Speaker 1: more or what that guy just did, Like I I
- 48:02Speaker 1: still can't blue what happened Yeah, I literally cannot believe
- 48:05Speaker 1: what we saw Monday night. The guy taken a chance
- 48:08Speaker 1: at a sixty four yard field goal over a rust
- 48:10Speaker 1: getting in five yards. Um bizarre. So I don't know
- 48:14Speaker 1: what to really think of them, but I do know this,
- 48:17Speaker 1: This Broncos team has tons of talent on offense and defense.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Their biggest weakness is still their offensive line looked improved though,
- 48:25Speaker 1: So yeah, I would love to come in here and
- 48:27Speaker 1: shoot on Russell Wilson and tell you to take the Texans.
- 48:31Speaker 1: And it's a good number. But I think exactly the
- 48:34Speaker 1: number eight is is the number it should be. I
- 48:35Speaker 1: had this ten ten and a half, that's where it
- 48:37Speaker 1: should be. Um won't won't really bet this one. If anything,
- 48:41Speaker 1: Uh again, the Broncos with our team, I might tease um,
- 48:45Speaker 1: but again, I don't want to go against Houston. We
- 48:47Speaker 1: love Houston. But man, this Broncos team. The only thing
- 48:52Speaker 1: slowing them down. We've seen as them right like they are.
- 48:55Speaker 1: The only issue is them right now. So Russell will
- 48:58Speaker 1: get more comfortable the season goes along. That's what I'll
- 49:00Speaker 1: bet them later in the season, is he gets more
- 49:02Speaker 1: comfortable all right now? Uh, Just there's no way I
- 49:04Speaker 1: would make this one by five, and I can just
- 49:06Speaker 1: tell Chad he doesn't really like this one either. I
- 49:08Speaker 1: don't like this at all, But then again, I don't know.
- 49:11Speaker 1: We've only got four games we love right now. Bengals
- 49:13Speaker 1: on the road, massive favorites against the Cowboys. This is
- 49:18Speaker 1: traditionally a spot where you want to bet the big
- 49:22Speaker 1: home dog. Yeah, Cowboys eight and a half. Everyone listens
- 49:27Speaker 1: is not gonna bet this meat. Chad have to bet this.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Make a donation to our favorite foundation, vandal sports book.
- 49:34Speaker 1: No one's betting this but us. It's definition of a
- 49:37Speaker 1: prose verse. Joe's game is Dak Prescott worth nine and
- 49:40Speaker 1: a half points. I don't think so. I don't think
- 49:43Speaker 1: he's that good, like I think he's really talented. Nine
- 49:46Speaker 1: and a half points. I just I can't get there
- 49:49Speaker 1: with that. So yeah, I love the public taking the Bengals,
- 49:52Speaker 1: who should play better, can't play much worse than they
- 49:54Speaker 1: did against Pittsburgh, but man, uh seven and a half
- 49:58Speaker 1: points at this point, I just I'll hold my nose
- 50:00Speaker 1: and I'll take it. Chat my build. It convinced me
- 50:03Speaker 1: on Sunday, as you say her Tuesday, I don't know
- 50:05Speaker 1: in what world do I want to be sweating Cooper
- 50:07Speaker 1: Rush on my five contest, but I'm trying to go
- 50:09Speaker 1: tenant now, so I just can't see him being it.
- 50:11Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, Tune in later this week
- 50:14Speaker 1: and it might be a big balls better the week
- 50:16Speaker 1: in fact, Packers Sunday night hosting the Resurgent, the celebrating
- 50:25Speaker 1: one win like it's Pet Beverley in the playoffs for
- 50:29Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves Chicago Bears. Look, I love the Bears.
- 50:34Speaker 1: I was standing for most of that game. After the game,
- 50:38Speaker 1: I was sitting with my kid. We watched all the
- 50:40Speaker 1: games together. He's looking at the Bears social feeds. Every
- 50:44Speaker 1: two seconds, he's like, Dad, look at this one, Dad,
- 50:46Speaker 1: look at this one. And it's just the Bears going
- 50:48Speaker 1: crazy posting on social He's like, they're posting a lot
- 50:54Speaker 1: for one win. He's like, Then then he's like, wow,
- 50:57Speaker 1: they're really posting a lot. So if a fifteen year
- 51:00Speaker 1: old kid who lives his life on social media says
- 51:03Speaker 1: you're overreacting and posting too much, he might be posting
- 51:06Speaker 1: too much. Yeah, and how do you not feel good?
- 51:10Speaker 1: To all of us? Me and you, Matt, we're all
- 51:12Speaker 1: one and oh right now I don't know if we've
- 51:14Speaker 1: ever been in one and O together, referring to the Bears,
- 51:18Speaker 1: Eagles and Bills by the way, Yeah, so uh yeah,
- 51:21Speaker 1: it's hard not to enjoy it. Like again, I should
- 51:24Speaker 1: probably tweet it. I muted the word Giants because apparently
- 51:27Speaker 1: Giants hadn't been over five sixteen and then their fans
- 51:31Speaker 1: were annoying. So um, I get it. We're all excited,
- 51:35Speaker 1: we're all one and oh uh, I don't have to
- 51:38Speaker 1: deal with this game. Chad to me like this is
- 51:39Speaker 1: another game. I'll just that's the under because I really
- 51:42Speaker 1: don't know what to do with it. I think it's
- 51:43Speaker 1: a good number. I really want to take the Bears,
- 51:46Speaker 1: but god, Aaron Rodgers burns me in this spot every
- 51:49Speaker 1: damn time, every time, and it will be hilarious. I
- 51:52Speaker 1: remember last year. I think we took the Bears. Man,
- 51:55Speaker 1: we might have had like six and a half chat
- 51:56Speaker 1: at home. We're up twelve going into the way through
- 52:00Speaker 1: the third quarter, and Aaron Rodgers somehow ran it into
- 52:03Speaker 1: the Bear end of the game for another touchow. I
- 52:04Speaker 1: think that's what we said. I own you to the
- 52:06Speaker 1: Bears fans, and it owned our cover and like we
- 52:09Speaker 1: lose this cover every time with this Bears team. But again,
- 52:13Speaker 1: I can't listen to my five, but I have to
- 52:14Speaker 1: take this number every time like the Bears. This is
- 52:17Speaker 1: an inflated line. I didn't really learn much from him
- 52:20Speaker 1: last week other than the fact that I just love Fields.
- 52:22Speaker 1: He's such a game or such hard. He didn't put
- 52:25Speaker 1: the stats right, but he made in the moments the
- 52:27Speaker 1: important place he needed to first team to win. So, um,
- 52:31Speaker 1: maybe we'll just fade green Bay being dysfunctional right now,
- 52:35Speaker 1: and I'm just reading too much into that, but I
- 52:37Speaker 1: just can't put money on green Bay right now. I
- 52:39Speaker 1: feel comfortable putting money on the Bears rather than Green Bay,
- 52:42Speaker 1: which is crazy to think. Well, the problem is, Look,
- 52:45Speaker 1: the Packers often looked dysfunctional in the first game of
- 52:47Speaker 1: the year, and their receivers were clearly terrible, and Aaron
- 52:51Speaker 1: Rodgers was clearly frustrated, But that was also the exact
- 52:55Speaker 1: right spot to play the Packers for the Vikings. You
- 52:58Speaker 1: don't really know who the Bears are yet. Playing in
- 53:02Speaker 1: a monsoon was not the right scenario to be able
- 53:06Speaker 1: to judge what this team is defensively against the quarterback
- 53:11Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers, so for me, it's probably going to
- 53:13Speaker 1: be a pass. Yeah, that's fair. Titans visiting the Buffalo Bills.
- 53:19Speaker 1: I don't know if we have any Buffalo Bills drops
- 53:22Speaker 1: because Matt Mitchell doesn't like to include those in the show.
- 53:25Speaker 1: That's true. Chatill like to keep it pretty subdued. That's
- 53:28Speaker 1: why I'm going to be taking it easy on the
- 53:29Speaker 1: bill signature shout song this year, introducing potentially a new
- 53:34Speaker 1: Josh Allen theme Metal get Toes tapping coast to coast
- 53:41Speaker 1: the Bills. The Titans are ten point underdogs. This number
- 53:46Speaker 1: has popped. This is a inflation station line. To me,
- 53:51Speaker 1: it's ugly to play it, but you kind of have to.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Primetime game. One team gut embarrassed. The other team looked
- 53:58Speaker 1: like their ship don't stay. Everyone's all in on the Bills.
- 54:02Speaker 1: Where I go back and watch the film and I
- 54:04Speaker 1: saw Josh Allen look flustered, had a bunch of turnovers,
- 54:08Speaker 1: had a bunch of under throws on his deep balls
- 54:10Speaker 1: that worked out, and the biggest advantage for him that
- 54:12Speaker 1: Rams game was the Rams could not keep on the field.
- 54:15Speaker 1: So by the second half, the Rams defense was shot
- 54:17Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen, I mean, mean, mean, Chad both agreed.
- 54:21Speaker 1: We think he's the best athlete, best player right now
- 54:24Speaker 1: in football just because of what he can do. He's bigger, faster,
- 54:27Speaker 1: stronger than everybody and has one of the best arms
- 54:29Speaker 1: in football. And it's very accurate. So scared because Josh
- 54:33Speaker 1: Allen didn't have a good game and his team won
- 54:35Speaker 1: by I don't even know what the final score was
- 54:36Speaker 1: and would have been by twenty four. It's just, man,
- 54:39Speaker 1: this Bill's team is so good. But this is gonna
- 54:42Speaker 1: be our lives chat all season. We're gonna be taking
- 54:44Speaker 1: the value on the dog, and the dog against the
- 54:47Speaker 1: Bills is always gonna be overvalue. Like this number is
- 54:49Speaker 1: bumped up probably three points just because the Titans laid
- 54:52Speaker 1: such a bad egg and the Bills look like world beaters.
- 54:55Speaker 1: So yeah, I wish I could make it one of
- 54:58Speaker 1: our five. Maybe I'll get push into it. But there's
- 55:00Speaker 1: a different game on one day that I like a
- 55:02Speaker 1: little more. Um So to me, it's it's tough where
- 55:07Speaker 1: I I just love the fact we're getting so many points,
- 55:09Speaker 1: but Josh Allen scares the ship out of me. Man,
- 55:12Speaker 1: Like I hated that experience on Thursday. He's just so
- 55:16Speaker 1: good every time he needs a first down, he gets
- 55:18Speaker 1: either run or Gabe Davis or Stefan digs Man. It's
- 55:21Speaker 1: just man bills. Bills are so complete. Well, look, let's
- 55:25Speaker 1: talk about I'm gonna bet the Titans, but it doesn't
- 55:28Speaker 1: have to be part of our part of our five
- 55:42Speaker 1: Vikings visiting the Eagles to two and a half. Money's
- 55:46Speaker 1: on the Eagles, tickets on the Vikings. Easy your ball game, buddy,
- 55:51Speaker 1: easy bet. One of the rare times I'll bet on
- 55:53Speaker 1: my favorite home team, Eagles. Such an easy bet. Like
- 55:57Speaker 1: our Eagles greatest strength has been able to run the
- 56:00Speaker 1: ball and own the offensive line, the Vikings. That's how
- 56:03Speaker 1: you can dominate this team. Like that matches up so
- 56:05Speaker 1: well for this Eagles team. The ball control, dominate the line.
- 56:09Speaker 1: Don't let Kirk Cousins get in a good comfortable position.
- 56:12Speaker 1: We're also again Kirk Cousins in prime time. People don't
- 56:15Speaker 1: forget Kirk Cousins. One pm at home auto play like
- 56:19Speaker 1: I think it's six. I think Evant tweeted that out.
- 56:22Speaker 1: It's I love the Vikings at home at one pm,
- 56:26Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins on the road in a prime time game.
- 56:29Speaker 1: I'm getting under three with the Eagles. The public is
- 56:32Speaker 1: betting all the all the tickets are coming on the vikings,
- 56:35Speaker 1: all the pros are betting the Eagles. No Brander to
- 56:37Speaker 1: me love this one. I'll try to convince Chad just
- 56:40Speaker 1: because we don't love having to wait all the way
- 56:43Speaker 1: to get our five and now, but this might be
- 56:45Speaker 1: worth it. I just love the Eagles in the spot.
- 56:47Speaker 1: This is such a great position for them to be in.
- 56:49Speaker 1: By the way, at fand right now the lot, the
- 56:52Speaker 1: Eagles are minus one and a half minus one eight team,
- 56:56Speaker 1: so that means a little bit of promotes coming on
- 56:58Speaker 1: in Minnesota. So do you wait? Yeah, obviously I would
- 57:04Speaker 1: keep waiting then because that means you could keep dropping.
- 57:06Speaker 1: But I just think they're eventually gonna come. They're gonna
- 57:09Speaker 1: come with a samdpage of me where it's just like,
- 57:11Speaker 1: this is a really good matchup for this Eagles team.
- 57:13Speaker 1: But maybe they're skeptical because they just saw the lines
- 57:16Speaker 1: do whatever they want an offense against them. But I
- 57:19Speaker 1: think that was more situational for anything else. Like the
- 57:22Speaker 1: Eagles defense was good. They just they stopped trying the
- 57:25Speaker 1: second half and they gave up whatever it was, seventeen
- 57:27Speaker 1: straight points right now, uh, the games we like Jags
- 57:34Speaker 1: plus four and a half, Saints plus three, Panthers plus
- 57:36Speaker 1: two and a half. We're getting in your big favorite
- 57:39Speaker 1: forty nine minus nine and a half, Eagles minus two,
- 57:42Speaker 1: minus one and a half. Games we are watching that
- 57:46Speaker 1: we will discuss on Thursday depending on the lines. Ravens
- 57:50Speaker 1: minus three, New York Jets plus six. You're gonna be
- 57:57Speaker 1: sick reading that chat. You literally look like you're about
- 57:59Speaker 1: to be sick just reading the Jets. I also think
- 58:02Speaker 1: we should keep an eye on the Titans plus ten.
- 58:04Speaker 1: I don't know that we want to go into Monday
- 58:06Speaker 1: night having to bets, but it definitely sticks out very
- 58:12Speaker 1: well as a dog, double digit dog coming off a
- 58:16Speaker 1: bad week, where like it just come on, what are
- 58:19Speaker 1: we doing here? We're not betting Titans plus ten. It's
- 58:23Speaker 1: like we bet the Seahawks plus six and a half
- 58:25Speaker 1: in the same spot. Yeah, and you want to give
- 58:28Speaker 1: it to our five fans that got upset at us
- 58:30Speaker 1: because their contest locks on Thursday for Survivor um our
- 58:33Speaker 1: Survivor pick and we go again Thursday. But to me,
- 58:37Speaker 1: it's situational, right, Like that's why I love our guy,
- 58:40Speaker 1: Travis Reid puts out your best options, um survivor just
- 58:44Speaker 1: mathematically like when you would be able to use the
- 58:45Speaker 1: team again and when you wouldn't be able to Bengos
- 58:48Speaker 1: jumped out to me like the Bengals in this position
- 58:50Speaker 1: against a backup quarterback. I don't know if the Bengals
- 58:53Speaker 1: will cover, but man I I can't see a world
- 58:56Speaker 1: they don't win this game. They need this game bad.
- 58:58Speaker 1: They can't start your own to this bang teams. So
- 59:00Speaker 1: they jumped out to me in the same with the
- 59:02Speaker 1: fourt Niners Niners at home in Seattle. This feels like
- 59:06Speaker 1: a no brainer. So those those to me are my
- 59:08Speaker 1: two favorites. Um, I don't know if you have other
- 59:10Speaker 1: ones you like more. Now, the team that jumped out
- 59:12Speaker 1: to me was the Bengals. Yeah, because again it's all
- 59:14Speaker 1: about when we're gonna be able to use them again.
- 59:16Speaker 1: Both those teams, their schedules are not easy alright. So
- 59:20Speaker 1: to recap forty Niners minus nine and a half foxholl
- 59:25Speaker 1: Saints plus three executive decision Jack's plus four and a
- 59:29Speaker 1: half early survivor. If you're your contest locks before Thursday, Bengals,
- 59:37Speaker 1: we will have on Thursday the big balls better the
- 59:39Speaker 1: week scooch Roulette will finalize, will get closer to finalizing.
