- 0:25Speaker 3: Three-team parlay turned to dust in your head. Now you
- 0:29Speaker 3: stare at the chips like they made you this mad.
- 0:33Speaker 2: But don't you go quiet, don't you fade from the floor.

- 0:41Speaker 2: the glass down, baby.

- 1:16Speaker 1: hold on, stay with me now.
- 1:28Speaker 2: What's up, everybody? It's Toad back with you, Toadstool Sports.
- 1:31Speaker 2: This will be the NFL Week 4 edition. This is
- 1:37Speaker 2: the hardest board that I've seen so far this year
- 1:40Speaker 2: to handicap, so I mean, I really liked the board
- 1:43Speaker 2: last week, and that didn't go well, although I got
- 1:45Speaker 2: 11 picks right against the spread. Of course, all the
- 1:48Speaker 2: ones that I got wrong basically were in my contest
- 1:51Speaker 2: entry and were plays that I gave out on the show,
- 1:53Speaker 2: although the plays on the show went one and two,
- 1:56Speaker 2: but when you really think you're seeing the week well,
- 1:58Speaker 2: that's not what you want. Of course, the Chargers failing
- 2:03Speaker 2: to cover was just absolute bullshit. Let's get into it, man.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Let's get into this week. Is it week four? Am
- 2:10Speaker 2: I getting that right? I think I am, right? um
- 2:13Speaker 2: I feel like I'm like I don't know hitting deja
- 2:15Speaker 2: vu or something here I guess we don't have any
- 2:18Speaker 2: teams on by yet until uh week five I suppose
- 2:21Speaker 2: I feel like I already did like I feel like
- 2:23Speaker 2: I already did this show but I didn't right I
- 2:25Speaker 2: don't know what's going on here man uh let's get
- 2:28Speaker 2: into it I'm just gonna run through this uh I'm
- 2:30Speaker 2: treading very carefully this week I'm gonna give out two
- 2:33Speaker 2: plays and hopefully they're the they're actually the strongest two
- 2:37Speaker 2: uh we do have London action starting with Indianapolis and
- 2:42Speaker 2: Washington playing in London. What else is new? Not at Wembley,
- 2:46Speaker 2: at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Way too many Europe games, man.
- 2:51Speaker 2: It's all fucking bullshit. Washington did play in London last year,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and I believe we lost on the show on that
- 2:58Speaker 2: game by a half point when it went into overtime.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I believe we had Washington in that game against Miami,
- 3:05Speaker 2: and wound up taking a loss there. Feels like a long,
- 3:08Speaker 2: long time ago. Both teams, I think, might have actually
- 3:11Speaker 2: played in Europe last year, though, if I'm not mistaken.
- 3:13Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, I don't think either
- 3:14Speaker 2: team has that much of a travel advantage here one
- 3:17Speaker 2: way or the other. I'm feeling this really feels like
- 3:21Speaker 2: deja vu. Like, my mind is so all over the place.
- 3:23Speaker 2: It feels like I already talked about all these games.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I guess I did not. But I think Washington is
- 3:28Speaker 2: in the worst spot here, though, if you just look
- 3:31Speaker 2: at the situation. They're coming off that big upset last week.
- 3:34Speaker 2: It was their first win, which we'll give them credit
- 3:36Speaker 2: for their first win. And sometimes when a team gets
- 3:38Speaker 2: that first win, yeah, it gets that monkey off their back.
- 3:40Speaker 2: They have the positive momentum moving forward. But the problem
- 3:43Speaker 2: is it was a big upset win over Seattle. That
- 3:46Speaker 2: was the one winner I gave out on the show
- 3:48Speaker 2: last week. But if you look into it, it was misleading.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Seattle outgained Washington by nearly 200 yards in the game.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So Washington did not legitimately win this game. There were
- 3:57Speaker 2: three turnovers from the Seattle side that really hurt them
- 4:01Speaker 2: in the game. Seattle actually lost the possession battle, but
- 4:04Speaker 2: they did win the yardage battle and the first down
- 4:07Speaker 2: battle by a lot. So this game was not really
- 4:09Speaker 2: what it looked like on the scoreboard. I'm glad we
- 4:12Speaker 2: got the win, but mistakes are part of that mental
- 4:15Speaker 2: lapse that you're handicapping here. So the fact that Seattle
- 4:19Speaker 2: made mental mistakes, that was part of the handicap here,
- 4:21Speaker 2: even though it is a fluky thing. The other thing
- 4:25Speaker 2: about this game is it was the injured player theory
- 4:27Speaker 2: for Washington. So Mariota was their starting quarterback after Daniels
- 4:31Speaker 2: went down. First game with Mariota, my feeling is that
- 4:35Speaker 2: that team usually steps up their game, that first game
- 4:38Speaker 2: of the backup QB. But then if they get a
- 4:40Speaker 2: big win in that game, the next part of the
- 4:42Speaker 2: injured player theory is that next game, they can take
- 4:46Speaker 2: a little bit of a step back because they feel like, okay,
- 4:49Speaker 2: you know, we can win with this guy. Even though
- 4:51Speaker 2: I know Mariota's played for them a lot because Daniels
- 4:53Speaker 2: keeps getting hurt, whatever, and he knows the system. So
- 4:55Speaker 2: it's not that bad of a downgrade for Washington. But
- 4:58Speaker 2: even so, I think Washington does take a little bit
- 5:00Speaker 2: of a step back in that second game off of
- 5:03Speaker 2: the big win. You know, you kind of relax like, okay,
- 5:07Speaker 2: we can win without our start or whatever. And on
- 5:09Speaker 2: the flip side of that, by the way, it was Darnold's.
- 5:11Speaker 2: first game back from injury. So it was a reverse
- 5:13Speaker 2: injured player theory for Seattle where I feel like the
- 5:16Speaker 2: chemistry kind of, you know, might not be there necessarily
- 5:20Speaker 2: with the first time your quarterback comes back. And it
- 5:23Speaker 2: might be a little bit of an issue, you know,
- 5:27Speaker 2: with like the team might get a little bit complacent
- 5:30Speaker 2: is what I'm trying to say here. But anyway, we're
- 5:33Speaker 2: handicapping Washington here right now in this game. I don't
- 5:35Speaker 2: think it's a very good spot for them. Now, Indianapolis
- 5:38Speaker 2: is also coming off a big game. They just beat
- 5:41Speaker 2: Houston and they got their first win of the season
- 5:43Speaker 2: as well. Indianapolis did. That's a big win. No doubt
- 5:46Speaker 2: about it. But the Texans have not played well so far.
- 5:48Speaker 2: They are 0-3. So maybe that win has a little
- 5:51Speaker 2: bit less luster on it. And it looked ugly, right?
- 5:55Speaker 2: Like Washington's win looks way better, like to the public eye, right?
- 6:00Speaker 2: The public's not going to care that Indianapolis won a low-scoring, ugly,
- 6:04Speaker 2: crappy game against a winless Texan team, whereas Washington won
- 6:08Speaker 2: this high-scoring game against the Super Bowl champions. That's going
- 6:11Speaker 2: to look way better in the public's eye. So I'm
- 6:14Speaker 2: going to be leaning towards Indianapolis here. Now, Indianapolis, yeah,
- 6:19Speaker 2: it's a big win, no doubt, against the Texans, but
- 6:21Speaker 2: it was also not a misleading win. They actually did
- 6:23Speaker 2: out-gain the Texans. in the game. And in fact, it
- 6:25Speaker 2: was Indianapolis that was negative three in the turnover department
- 6:28Speaker 2: and they still won. So that tells you they did
- 6:31Speaker 2: win legitimately in this game. They're going to have to
- 6:33Speaker 2: fix those, uh, turnovers though. And I believe they did lose, um,
- 6:38Speaker 2: Indianapolis is down. I think one of their, uh, wide
- 6:40Speaker 2: receivers again here, let me say, um, I believe it's Pierce, right?
- 6:44Speaker 2: Or Keenan Allen, I guess, is going to be out too.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I don't know. Pierce is on IR. So yeah, Indianapolis
- 6:50Speaker 2: is down some of their wide receivers. Washington's a bad defense, man.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Like really bad. I think worse than Indianapolis. So I
- 6:58Speaker 2: think the lean is Indianapolis here. I think it's a
- 6:59Speaker 2: better spot. Washington does have a divisional game next, by
- 7:02Speaker 2: the way, I believe against the Giants, although I know
- 7:05Speaker 2: it's not the Giants with Jackson Dart anymore. So that
- 7:07Speaker 2: has less appeal as well. But even so, Uh, Indianapolis
- 7:12Speaker 2: only plays the Steelers next, which I don't really think
- 7:14Speaker 2: is much of a look ahead. I'm disagreeing with the
- 7:17Speaker 2: market a lot this week, but this is not a
- 7:19Speaker 2: game where I'm disagreeing with it. Washington has 55% of
- 7:21Speaker 2: the tickets, 66% of the cash on Indy. Indy opened
- 7:25Speaker 2: a three point favor, but if you want Indy, you
- 7:27Speaker 2: kind of missed the boat on this. It's already up
- 7:29Speaker 2: to four and a half. Now I'm still going to
- 7:32Speaker 2: lean towards Indy though, laying the points, although it does
- 7:35Speaker 2: seem a little bit crazy, but the public is definitely
- 7:37Speaker 2: not going to want them. Um, Just seeing these teams,
- 7:41Speaker 2: seeing Indy look real ugly so far, the public is
- 7:44Speaker 2: not going to lay points like that. And yeah, it
- 7:46Speaker 2: is true that Indy has not won a game by
- 7:48Speaker 2: that margin yet this year. That is true. But I
- 7:51Speaker 2: think they're the right side in that game. That would
- 7:54Speaker 2: be my opinion. That's NFL Network at 9.30 a.m. Eastern
- 7:58Speaker 2: because it's one of the stupid London games. You've got
- 8:00Speaker 2: to make sure you're awake and you get your fantasy
- 8:04Speaker 2: lineup set and whatever. 1 p.m. slate, we have New
- 8:07Speaker 2: England at Buffalo. Buffalo, I mean, they're coming off a
- 8:11Speaker 2: bad game as a big favor, and a lot of
- 8:13Speaker 2: times I do want to look towards that team to
- 8:15Speaker 2: bounce back after a bad game like that. As a
- 8:19Speaker 2: big favor, Buffalo still wound up covering somehow against the Chargers.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Just total bullshit, man. The Chargers were winning most of
- 8:26Speaker 2: the game. The Chargers just kept failing in the red zone,
- 8:30Speaker 2: and Harbaugh made some really bizarre decisions, like going for
- 8:33Speaker 2: it on fourth and 10, only down four with six
- 8:39Speaker 2: minutes to go at their own 40. Makes absolutely no sense.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Like Chargers defense have played well during the game. You're
- 8:45Speaker 2: just going to hand Josh Allen the football at your
- 8:47Speaker 2: 40 yard line. So stupid, dude.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Whatever. Whatever.
- 8:52Speaker 2: But Buffalo coming off a scare, normally I would like that. And,
- 8:55Speaker 2: of course, we remember Buffalo lost in a highly publicized
- 8:58Speaker 2: primetime game last year against the Patriots here in Buffalo.
- 9:02Speaker 2: So you could make the argument it's kind of a
- 9:04Speaker 2: revenge spot for Buffalo here. And Buffalo's going to want
- 9:07Speaker 2: to beat New England most likely after New England won
- 9:10Speaker 2: this division last year. However, New England's been playing like
- 9:14Speaker 2: such ass that I don't actually think Buffalo's the right
- 9:17Speaker 2: side here, even though I think both teams are going
- 9:19Speaker 2: to be motivated here. Buffalo's already got a big divisional
- 9:22Speaker 2: lead here, even though they haven't played any division games yet.
- 9:26Speaker 2: So this game will matter, but still, I think Buffalo
- 9:29Speaker 2: might relax a little bit, and they maybe look too
- 9:32Speaker 2: good so far at 3-0, whereas nobody's going to want
- 9:35Speaker 2: the Patriots with the way they've looked so far. And
- 9:37Speaker 2: by the way, it is still true that Buffalo went
- 9:39Speaker 2: into New England and beat New England later in the
- 9:41Speaker 2: season last year. So you could make an argument it's
- 9:44Speaker 2: revenge for New England here, because New England... New England
- 9:49Speaker 2: lost the last game they played against Buffalo last year.
- 9:52Speaker 2: But really, I think the handicap here is New England's
- 9:55Speaker 2: coming off one of the worst losses that you'll see.
- 9:58Speaker 2: They lost 35 to 6 to Jacksonville so nobody's gonna
- 10:02Speaker 2: want them and yeah Drake Mays been awful there's no
- 10:04Speaker 2: doubt about that I think he has like 10 turnovers
- 10:07Speaker 2: already only one touchdown and like six interceptions he's been
- 10:11Speaker 2: awful but That's something you can clean up, man. You
- 10:15Speaker 2: can fix mistakes like that. It's a mental thing a
- 10:17Speaker 2: lot of times. New England actually outgained Jacksonville in that game.
- 10:21Speaker 2: So you want to talk about a misleading result? Statistically,
- 10:25Speaker 2: New England didn't outplay Jacksonville, even though they did outgain them.
- 10:28Speaker 2: But still, they did not lose that game 35-6 statistically.
- 10:32Speaker 2: You know what I mean? The stat sheet will tell
- 10:35Speaker 2: you that this game was a lot closer than the
- 10:37Speaker 2: final score indicated. So I think New England's an undervalued team.
- 10:41Speaker 2: coming into this one. And the other thing is you
- 10:42Speaker 2: can kind of just market read this where the number's
- 10:45Speaker 2: just sitting at seven, six and a half all week.
- 10:48Speaker 2: And the public's on Buffalo, 74% of tickets on them.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Although 87% of the cash also on Buffalo, but I'm
- 10:55Speaker 2: not really buying that cash disparity. I think what we're
- 10:57Speaker 2: looking at here is Buffalo getting a lot of public
- 11:00Speaker 2: action here and the line has not moved. And in
- 11:03Speaker 2: the NFL, a lot of times the books will move
- 11:05Speaker 2: that number up to try to kill teasers. But in
- 11:08Speaker 2: this case, they haven't done that. And you know they're
- 11:11Speaker 2: going to get a lot of teasers on Buffalo this
- 11:12Speaker 2: week to just win the game. It looks really easy
- 11:15Speaker 2: to tease Buffalo down. By the way, I forgot to mention,
- 11:18Speaker 2: a good teaser this week would have been Cleveland teased
- 11:21Speaker 2: up from being a 2.5-point underdog, teased them up to 8.5.
- 11:24Speaker 2: That would have been a really good teaser leg with
- 11:27Speaker 2: the fact that I like Cleveland anyway in that game.
- 11:30Speaker 2: And it was a low total. That's what you want
- 11:32Speaker 2: with these teasers. You want to go through. the key
- 11:34Speaker 2: number of three and seven. So I don't really do
- 11:36Speaker 2: much with teasers, but I probably should have mentioned that. But,
- 11:39Speaker 2: of course, it's a two-team six-point teaser is the only
- 11:43Speaker 2: teaser that is advantageous, and you have to find a partner,
- 11:47Speaker 2: like another leg. And obviously I'm not recommending Buffalo as
- 11:50Speaker 2: a teaser leg here. And you're not going through the
- 11:52Speaker 2: key number of seven because you're only on seven here
- 11:55Speaker 2: or six and a half. But my lean in this
- 11:57Speaker 2: game would be to take the points with New England
- 11:59Speaker 2: plus the seven here. And I think you can make
- 12:02Speaker 2: the argument New England's the better defense here. I know
- 12:04Speaker 2: that sounds really crazy, but Buffalo's defense has not been good, dude.
- 12:09Speaker 2: That's Buffalo's weak point is their defense. And I think
- 12:12Speaker 2: New England has actually been decent defensively here. So New
- 12:16Speaker 2: England might be able to kind of muck this game
- 12:18Speaker 2: up a little bit and hang around just with that
- 12:21Speaker 2: being the case as well. So, yeah, I would lean
- 12:23Speaker 2: New England here. Dirty Sock, what's up? Thanks for hanging out.
- 12:28Speaker 2: I don't know why people continue to come back and
- 12:29Speaker 2: listen to me when I'm getting every fucking thing wrong.
- 12:32Speaker 2: All right, next game is one of my actual bets.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Nobody's going to like this one, I don't think, but
- 12:41Speaker 2: we're going to take the New York Jets plus three
- 12:43Speaker 2: and a half here against the Chicago Bears, even though
- 12:46Speaker 2: I believe we're going to be fading my man Tyson
- 12:49Speaker 2: Bajent in this one, and I like Bajent, but really
- 12:52Speaker 2: the handicap is the situation here. Like, The public is
- 12:56Speaker 2: still going to be on the Bears. The public have
- 12:57Speaker 2: been high on the Bears since last year. They were
- 13:01Speaker 2: high on them after they scored 59 to open the
- 13:03Speaker 2: season against the Panthers. Public had a brief moment where
- 13:07Speaker 2: they jumped off the Bear train after they had that
- 13:09Speaker 2: horrible loss to the Vikings 9-3. But now they're going
- 13:13Speaker 2: to be right back on the Bears train, man, because
- 13:15Speaker 2: the public wants nothing to do with the Jets, basically, ever.
- 13:18Speaker 2: And the Bears looked awesome on Monday night, right? Case
- 13:20Speaker 2: Keenum was in there. as their quarterback. And, you know,
- 13:23Speaker 2: I talked about that game. I had the lean correct
- 13:26Speaker 2: with the Bears plus the points there. I didn't think
- 13:29Speaker 2: they were going to win by 20 points, 27 to 7. But,
- 13:34Speaker 2: you know, it was another injured player theory. It's what
- 13:37Speaker 2: I talk about time and time again. First game with
- 13:39Speaker 2: the injured quarterback, the team usually steps up their game
- 13:43Speaker 2: and usually get a lot of value on that team.
- 13:45Speaker 2: The Bears are a big home underdog in that game. Well,
- 13:47Speaker 2: three and a half point underdog in that game. And
- 13:50Speaker 2: what happened there? Well, they looked awesome. Everybody knows the
- 13:53Speaker 2: Eagles are a pretty good team, and the Bears just, like,
- 13:57Speaker 2: murdered them, basically, on the scoreboard, at least, 27-7. So
- 14:01Speaker 2: everybody's going to want the Bears after that. But what
- 14:03Speaker 2: do I always say? Again, like I just said with Washington,
- 14:07Speaker 2: the second part of the injured player theory is if
- 14:09Speaker 2: the team does really well in that first game with
- 14:11Speaker 2: the injured player... They tend to take their foot off
- 14:14Speaker 2: the gas in the next game and think, okay, we
- 14:16Speaker 2: can do this. And it's going to be like, well,
- 14:18Speaker 2: if we can beat Philadelphia, then of course we're going
- 14:21Speaker 2: to be able to beat New York, right? That's going
- 14:24Speaker 2: to be the feeling amongst the Bears, amongst the public,
- 14:27Speaker 2: amongst everyone, right? Because everybody knows the Eagles are better
- 14:30Speaker 2: than the Jets, but this is the type of situation
- 14:32Speaker 2: you do not want to play Chicago because they're going
- 14:34Speaker 2: from a home underdog where the public didn't want them
- 14:37Speaker 2: to now being a home favorite where the public is
- 14:40Speaker 2: on them. That flip week to week is something you
- 14:42Speaker 2: look for in the NFL, and you want to fade
- 14:45Speaker 2: that because usually it's a little bit of an overreaction.
- 14:48Speaker 2: So I don't like that. It will be Tyson Bajan.
- 14:50Speaker 2: And while I do think he's better than Case Keenum,
- 14:52Speaker 2: I think he has more talent. I actually like Bajan
- 14:55Speaker 2: a lot. I'm a fan. I think he's good. I
- 14:57Speaker 2: think he's better than Williams, to be honest. I still
- 14:59Speaker 2: do not like the spot for the Bears at all here.
- 15:02Speaker 2: And this is about the spot, okay? I know they're
- 15:05Speaker 2: switching quarterbacks here. Bajan does know the system. In my opinion,
- 15:09Speaker 2: he is an upgrade from Case Keenum as well. Maybe
- 15:12Speaker 2: I'd prefer a little bit of Keenum got the job
- 15:15Speaker 2: again here, but I just don't really care. This is
- 15:17Speaker 2: all about the spot. I don't consider this to be
- 15:19Speaker 2: another injured player theory here. I still consider this to
- 15:22Speaker 2: be the game after the injured player theory game, right,
- 15:25Speaker 2: where you're still playing a backup quarterback here. And worst
- 15:28Speaker 2: news for the Bears, by the way, this is a
- 15:30Speaker 2: sandwich spot because look who they play next.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Even though it's a team that's not playing well right now,
- 15:36Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, that's like the Bears' number one rival, dude.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Bears and Packers, biggest rival in the NFC North, biggest rivalry.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Those teams have a lot of history. They do not
- 15:47Speaker 2: like each other. That's a big game, man. So I
- 15:50Speaker 2: think the Bears could look right past the Jets here.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Jets are sitting at 1-2, but they've actually been not
- 15:55Speaker 2: too bad here. The Jets almost beat the Packers, and
- 15:58Speaker 2: were hanging in that game against the Lions last week, too.
- 16:01Speaker 2: And while normally I would not want a team that's
- 16:04Speaker 2: playing their third road game in four weeks, which, by
- 16:06Speaker 2: the way, I believe that is also the case with Indy,
- 16:09Speaker 2: I think. Is that right? Oh, no, Indy's playing a
- 16:12Speaker 2: neutral side game. What was I looking at then? Is
- 16:14Speaker 2: it New England? Let me see. Yeah, it's New England.
- 16:18Speaker 2: New England's also playing a third game in four weeks.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Third road game in four weeks, so... That is a
- 16:23Speaker 2: little bit of a concern with these teams. It is
- 16:25Speaker 2: a concern with the Jets as well, but this is
- 16:27Speaker 2: an easy travel spot, though, okay? They probably did not
- 16:31Speaker 2: go home, I would guess. I'd have to look to
- 16:33Speaker 2: make sure, but if they're traveling just from Detroit to Chicago,
- 16:36Speaker 2: that's an easy travel spot. And while normally I would
- 16:40Speaker 2: not want to play on a team like the Jets,
- 16:42Speaker 2: where they just came close as an underdog last time,
- 16:44Speaker 2: a fairly big underdog, a touchdown underdog at Detroit, normally
- 16:48Speaker 2: I would not want to play on the Jets after that,
- 16:51Speaker 2: but This is a horrible spot for the Bears. I
- 16:53Speaker 2: think the Jets will still show up for this game.
- 16:56Speaker 2: And the other thing I like about this is Geno
- 16:58Speaker 2: Smith has some of the best quarterback numbers in the
- 17:01Speaker 2: NFL against one deep coverage, basically, right? I think is
- 17:09Speaker 2: what it is. And that's what the Bears play the
- 17:11Speaker 2: majority of the time. Basically, they have, you know, like...
- 17:16Speaker 2: One guy in deep, like a cover one, basically, I
- 17:19Speaker 2: think is what it really is. The Bears play a
- 17:21Speaker 2: lot of that. Whatever the Bears are doing with their secondary,
- 17:25Speaker 2: that scheme that they run like over 60% of the time,
- 17:28Speaker 2: Geno Smith has like the best quarterback numbers in the
- 17:31Speaker 2: NFL this year so far against that specific type of defense.
- 17:35Speaker 2: So I think Geno Smith actually has a really good
- 17:37Speaker 2: matchup here. It's a Bears defense that's not good anyway.
- 17:40Speaker 2: The Jets are the better defense. And you know, I
- 17:42Speaker 2: like that too. The better defense getting points. That's another
- 17:45Speaker 2: reason to play the Jets here. So I like it.
- 17:48Speaker 2: This has enough to it to make the play. 61%
- 17:51Speaker 2: of tickets and 52% of the cash on the Bears.
- 17:54Speaker 2: So the Bears are the public side. The money is
- 17:57Speaker 2: not really coming in on the Bears here. So the
- 17:59Speaker 2: market read agrees with this. It's not a high total
- 18:02Speaker 2: either in the low 40s. So underdog a little bit
- 18:06Speaker 2: better when it's a low total like that. We'll take
- 18:08Speaker 2: the Jets. You know me with these ugly underdogs, man.
- 18:11Speaker 2: But I don't think the Jets are that hideous of
- 18:13Speaker 2: a team, to be honest. They've been a competitive team
- 18:16Speaker 2: so far this year. I think they're a little bit
- 18:17Speaker 2: of an undervalued team until further notice right now. Because
- 18:22Speaker 2: sitting at one and two, they still don't look good.
- 18:24Speaker 2: But they haven't played that poorly. And I believe they
- 18:27Speaker 2: played fairly well statistically against the Lions as well. And
- 18:36Speaker 2: if you look at the Bears game against the Eagles,
- 18:37Speaker 2: by the way, Yes, the Bears did out-game the Eagles,
- 18:40Speaker 2: but the Eagles also committed three turnovers in the game.
- 18:43Speaker 2: So while the Bears did win the game statistically, the
- 18:46Speaker 2: result was still skewed because the Eagles kept turning it over.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Three turnovers. If you remember correctly, there was one drive
- 18:53Speaker 2: where the game was still in reach for the Eagles,
- 18:56Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurts got hurt briefly, and they took him
- 18:59Speaker 2: out of the game briefly. And the Eagles went with
- 19:02Speaker 2: Andy Dalton, and they were like right near the goal line,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and they stalled out, and I think they wound up
- 19:08Speaker 2: not scoring, I'm pretty sure. So that really fucked up
- 19:12Speaker 2: the Eagles in that game too. I'm not saying they
- 19:14Speaker 2: would have won if that didn't happen, but that was
- 19:17Speaker 2: just another thing that happened to the Eagles in that
- 19:20Speaker 2: game that, you know, Chicago kind of lucked out a
- 19:23Speaker 2: little bit when that happened. Maybe the game would have
- 19:26Speaker 2: been different if the Eagles scored there. You never know.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I mean, your mental state can change. Alright, Jacksonville at Cincinnati.
- 19:33Speaker 2: You know what I'm going to think about this game already. Now,
- 19:37Speaker 2: I have some opinions that I don't love. There are
- 19:39Speaker 2: some games where I'm disagreeing with the market really strongly.
- 19:42Speaker 2: We have not hit any of those yet. We're hitting
- 19:45Speaker 2: one next, by the way, after this one, but this
- 19:48Speaker 2: is another one where I do agree with the market.
- 19:50Speaker 2: so I'm highly unlikely to change my pick on this
- 19:53Speaker 2: and my pick-em pools and whatever. You know what I'm
- 19:56Speaker 2: going to do with this. I already talked about it.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Jacksonville just beat the Patriots by a ton. Jacksonville's put
- 20:02Speaker 2: up over 30 points in two of their three games.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Everyone's in love with Jacksonville, man. The public loves Jacksonville.
- 20:08Speaker 2: It seems crazy to think about that when I think
- 20:10Speaker 2: the Bengals probably have the better offense here. Even though
- 20:13Speaker 2: Jacksonville does have the better defense, so I will admit,
- 20:16Speaker 2: I think Jacksonville's the better defense getting points in this game.
- 20:19Speaker 2: A lot of times I do look that way, but
- 20:21Speaker 2: I'm not going to be looking that way in this game, man.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Jacksonville's 0-1 on the road already, although yes, they were
- 20:26Speaker 2: winning most of that game against the Broncos. But still,
- 20:31Speaker 2: we're looking at last week. Jacksonville destroyed the Patriots. Everybody
- 20:34Speaker 2: knows the Patriots made the Super Bowl last year. That
- 20:36Speaker 2: win looks really good for Jacksonville. But I already showed
- 20:39Speaker 2: you the box score. The Patriots actually out-caned Jacksonville in
- 20:43Speaker 2: the game by two yards. So Patriots were minus three
- 20:46Speaker 2: in turnovers. That game was not what it looked like
- 20:49Speaker 2: on the scoreboard, okay? On the scoreboard, it should have
- 20:51Speaker 2: been like a close win for Jacksonville. So it was
- 20:54Speaker 2: a very misleading result for Jacksonville. It looks like a
- 20:56Speaker 2: really good win. where I don't really think it was.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Now Jacksonville's going on the road here, and while I
- 21:01Speaker 2: know the Bengals did beat them last year here at home,
- 21:05Speaker 2: and I believe the Bengals wound up pulling some bullshit
- 21:09Speaker 2: cover out of their ass in that game last year,
- 21:11Speaker 2: if I remember correctly. I think Jacksonville 3.5 might have
- 21:14Speaker 2: even been one of my plays, if I remember correctly.
- 21:16Speaker 3: I think the.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Bengals should have lost that game, and they somehow pulled
- 21:19Speaker 2: a four-point win out of their ass in that one.
- 21:22Speaker 2: I still don't think that's really much of a revenge
- 21:24Speaker 2: spot for Jacksonville. Yeah, they might remember going to Cincinnati
- 21:27Speaker 2: and losing last year, but whatever, man. I just don't
- 21:33Speaker 2: think that's that big of a motivating factor here. The
- 21:37Speaker 2: revenge gets overstated. The revenge that really matters is when
- 21:41Speaker 2: you're playing the team that knocked you out of the playoffs.
- 21:43Speaker 2: The team that eliminated you, the team that ended your
- 21:46Speaker 2: season last year, you're playing them for the first time.
- 21:48Speaker 2: That's the type of revenge that really matters here. That's
- 21:51Speaker 2: not what we're looking at here. And also, Cincinnati didn't
- 21:53Speaker 2: look that good last week, right? They lost to the Steelers,
- 21:57Speaker 2: and that's going to look even worse now that the
- 21:59Speaker 2: Steelers just lost to the Browns on Thursday night. So
- 22:02Speaker 2: I think the public is going to be a little
- 22:04Speaker 2: bit off of Cincinnati here. But that was a tough
- 22:06Speaker 2: divisional matchup, man. I liked the Steelers in that one.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Steelers got the job done. My concern is that maybe
- 22:14Speaker 2: that was considered to be a big game, though. I
- 22:17Speaker 2: don't like teams coming off close divisional games like that
- 22:20Speaker 2: a lot of times, so I don't think I really
- 22:22Speaker 2: want to put this on my card or anything, but
- 22:24Speaker 2: I'm going to lean towards the Bengals in this one,
- 22:25Speaker 2: and the money is definitely agreeing with that. 60% of
- 22:28Speaker 2: tickets on Jacksonville, so they're the public side, but Cincinnati's
- 22:33Speaker 2: a slight favorite here. 74% of the cash on Cincinnati.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Cincinnati's a two, two-and-a-half point favorite. And a lot of
- 22:40Speaker 2: times when it's a price in that range, I don't
- 22:43Speaker 2: really like playing the favorite because it looks like, Oh,
- 22:45Speaker 2: it's under a field goal. Like it might be too
- 22:47Speaker 2: easy to play that team. But when the public is
- 22:49Speaker 2: on the other side of that game, it's not one
- 22:52Speaker 2: of those games where I consider it being a number
- 22:54Speaker 2: that looks too easy to play. Right. Cause the public
- 22:56Speaker 2: doesn't even want Cincinnati, even though they're below a field goal.
- 23:00Speaker 2: So I like Cincinnati in that game. Um, Yes, that's right.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Andy Dalton threw a pick in the end zone. Correct.
- 23:08Speaker 2: I don't know why I was thinking it was a
- 23:09Speaker 2: turnover on downs. Wayne, what's up? Yeah, I think you're right.
- 23:12Speaker 2: It was a pick in the end zone. Uh, so yeah,
- 23:14Speaker 2: likely if a Hertz was not hurt at that time, uh,
- 23:18Speaker 2: they likely would not have turned it over at the
- 23:20Speaker 2: very least. All right. Um, Arizona and New York giants.
- 23:25Speaker 2: This is a game where I'm disagreeing with the market
- 23:27Speaker 2: read strongly. Um, If I stick to my guns on
- 23:32Speaker 2: this one, my instinct on this has me leaning to
- 23:35Speaker 2: the Giants here. This is a spot where Arizona is
- 23:38Speaker 2: playing a third road game in four weeks. But not
- 23:41Speaker 2: only that, but this is the first time they're leaving
- 23:42Speaker 2: the Pacific time zone, basically, where they played once at home. Arizona,
- 23:46Speaker 2: I mean, I still basically consider that to be the
- 23:48Speaker 2: Pacific time zone. So this is going to be their
- 23:51Speaker 2: first time not doing that. They have to go all
- 23:53Speaker 2: the way east, which I think is a little bit
- 23:55Speaker 2: difficult for these West Coast teams. Although, you know, I
- 23:57Speaker 2: always say the East Coast team going west for a
- 24:00Speaker 2: night game is worse. But still, it's not exactly good
- 24:04Speaker 2: for a West Coast team to have to go east
- 24:05Speaker 2: like this. And look at what Arizona's coming off of.
- 24:08Speaker 2: They just played a pretty good game against the 49ers, man,
- 24:11Speaker 2: where they were 7.5 underdogs in this game. when it
- 24:15Speaker 2: closed at least, and Arizona was down 17 in the
- 24:18Speaker 2: second half, and they came all the way back to
- 24:20Speaker 2: within three in the fourth quarter before they kind of faltered,
- 24:23Speaker 2: and they were actually back within two points with a
- 24:26Speaker 2: couple minutes to go in the game. So Arizona played
- 24:29Speaker 2: a really tough game against a divisional foe, and you
- 24:32Speaker 2: know I talk about this. Although Arizona actually did, you know,
- 24:35Speaker 2: statistically it looked pretty good that they dominated the time
- 24:38Speaker 2: of possession in that game, so that's good for Arizona,
- 24:40Speaker 2: but they did get out-yarded in the game by quite
- 24:43Speaker 2: a bit by San Francisco, but either way you look
- 24:45Speaker 2: at it, I see it as Arizona's coming off a
- 24:47Speaker 2: huge divisional game as an underdog where they almost pulled
- 24:51Speaker 2: off the upset, and you know I look for teams
- 24:53Speaker 2: to be flat after that. Plus, they're having to go
- 24:55Speaker 2: all the way east for this. So I don't like
- 24:58Speaker 2: Arizona in this one, man. I do not. I think
- 25:01Speaker 2: Arizona looked really good in that loss, and that's the
- 25:03Speaker 2: type of team I want to fade as well. Whereas
- 25:05Speaker 2: the Giants, what I always say, they looked really bad
- 25:09Speaker 2: in a win last week. The Giants, you know, without
- 25:12Speaker 2: Jackson Dart, what did they do? They had Jameis Winston
- 25:14Speaker 2: in there, and they beat the lowly Titans 12-7. Nobody's
- 25:20Speaker 2: going to like that result, right? And I, you know,
- 25:22Speaker 2: I do talk about how that second game with the
- 25:25Speaker 2: injured player, I usually don't like a team in that spot.
- 25:28Speaker 2: So yes, that is a negative for the Giants. After
- 25:30Speaker 2: they won a game in the injured player theory spot
- 25:33Speaker 2: last week, yes, they were able to win with Jameis
- 25:36Speaker 2: Winston there. And that's usually the game where the team
- 25:37Speaker 2: steps it up a bit. usually that team does have
- 25:41Speaker 2: a little bit of a step back in the next game.
- 25:43Speaker 2: And yes, I do realize this is not that big
- 25:46Speaker 2: of a game for the giants. They do face Washington next,
- 25:48Speaker 2: which is a bigger game, but the Cardinals play the, uh,
- 25:51Speaker 2: I believe they're playing the Seahawks next, right? Let me see.
- 25:55Speaker 2: Oh no, they're playing the lions. My mistake. That's still
- 25:57Speaker 2: a pretty big game though. The lions are one of
- 25:59Speaker 2: the best teams in the NFC. So that still could
- 26:02Speaker 2: be a look ahead for Arizona there. Either way. I
- 26:05Speaker 2: think the giants are the right side in this game. Um,
- 26:08Speaker 2: I don't feel strongly enough about it to put it
- 26:09Speaker 2: on my card or anything, and the money is completely
- 26:11Speaker 2: disagreeing with me on this. Although Arizona does look like
- 26:14Speaker 2: they're the somewhat public side too, which I did expect.
- 26:17Speaker 2: 60% of the tickets on them, but 85% of the
- 26:20Speaker 2: cash also on them. And the favorite flipped in this game.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Giants open one and a half, and now so much
- 26:27Speaker 2: money is coming in on Arizona that it's all the
- 26:29Speaker 2: way up to two and a half on Arizona. But
- 26:31Speaker 2: I think if it hits three, I think you will
- 26:33Speaker 2: see some money come back in towards the Giants here
- 26:36Speaker 2: just on... a pure numbers outlook. You know what I mean?
- 26:40Speaker 2: Like getting three, it's a key number. So some money
- 26:43Speaker 2: will come in on the Giants if people have the
- 26:46Speaker 2: ability to get plus three. And that is what I
- 26:48Speaker 2: would do if I was going to play this game.
- 26:50Speaker 2: I would try to see if it gets to three
- 26:52Speaker 2: and take the points with the Giants in that one.
- 26:54Speaker 2: But I don't feel strongly enough about it. I'm disagreeing
- 26:57Speaker 2: with the market in that one, which I don't really like.
- 27:00Speaker 2: I told you a lot of these games are tough
- 27:01Speaker 2: to figure out, man. Rams at Philadelphia. The Rams are
- 27:05Speaker 2: coming off a Sunday night game, a tough game and
- 27:08Speaker 2: mile high. And a lot of times I do look
- 27:10Speaker 2: to fade a team coming off a game like that.
- 27:12Speaker 2: But I don't think the Rams are going to overlook
- 27:14Speaker 2: the Eagles, man. So I think the Rams will show
- 27:17Speaker 2: up for this. However, the Rams have had difficulty in
- 27:22Speaker 2: Philadelphia recently, although last year really pisses me off because
- 27:25Speaker 2: the Rams, they were either one of my plays or
- 27:28Speaker 2: they were at least one of my picks in my
- 27:29Speaker 2: contest that I was in. The Rams at the Eagles.
- 27:32Speaker 2: And if you remember, the Rams were kicking a field goal,
- 27:36Speaker 2: which would have, I believe, been a game winner if
- 27:38Speaker 2: they made it at the end of the game. Had
- 27:40Speaker 2: the Rams like plus four and a half or something.
- 27:42Speaker 2: And instead it got blocked and returned the other way
- 27:45Speaker 2: for a touchdown for the Eagles. That's the only way
- 27:47Speaker 2: that the Eagles are going to cover that number was
- 27:49Speaker 2: to block the field goal. and return it for a
- 27:52Speaker 2: touchdown on literally the last play of the game, and
- 27:54Speaker 2: that's what happened, and the Eagles won by six, it
- 27:56Speaker 2: was complete fucking, or yeah, five or six, I forget,
- 27:59Speaker 2: it was complete fucking bullshit, though, yeah, just such horse shit, dude,
- 28:06Speaker 2: but the Rams, you know, they lost in the playoffs
- 28:08Speaker 2: to the Eagles, the year prior to that, although that
- 28:10Speaker 2: was a weird, like kind of snow game, but the
- 28:13Speaker 2: Rams did play well in both games. I will give
- 28:15Speaker 2: them that both games are competitive, but there are things
- 28:17Speaker 2: that I don't like about the Rams, uh, as well.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Like I said, they're coming off a big game against Denver. Um,
- 28:24Speaker 2: Things that I do like, though, they outgained Denver by
- 28:27Speaker 2: over 200 yards in this game. So even though the
- 28:28Speaker 2: Rams lost this game, they were winning the game 16-0
- 28:32Speaker 2: at halftime, and then somehow they fell apart, and they
- 28:35Speaker 2: still never trailed until really late in the fourth quarter
- 28:38Speaker 2: when they threw a pick six. Stafford threw a pick six,
- 28:42Speaker 2: and that was the first time, I believe, that Denver
- 28:44Speaker 2: took the lead in the game. And then the Rams
- 28:47Speaker 2: still took the lead back after that, by the way,
- 28:49Speaker 2: and then they lost anyway after that. But the Rams
- 28:51Speaker 2: played way better in this game than it looked. So
- 28:54Speaker 2: that is one positive for the Rams coming into this
- 28:57Speaker 2: game this week is that the Rams completely dominated this
- 29:01Speaker 2: game against Denver. It was a very misleading result that
- 29:05Speaker 2: the Rams lost that game. They totally dominated the yardage. However,
- 29:10Speaker 2: I still kind of leave Philly in this one, though,
- 29:12Speaker 2: because Philly, we just saw what they did, right, on
- 29:15Speaker 2: Monday night. And I know it's a quick turnaround time,
- 29:17Speaker 2: and I just use that as a reason to fade
- 29:20Speaker 2: the Bears, a quick turnaround time. Bears are staying at home, though.
- 29:24Speaker 2: But still, I think when you're staying at home off
- 29:26Speaker 2: a big win, you're listening to the press, and it
- 29:28Speaker 2: makes you more overconfident. That's what I think is going
- 29:30Speaker 2: to happen with the Bears. Now, Philadelphia, though, they looked
- 29:33Speaker 2: horrible on Monday night, okay? And I like to play
- 29:36Speaker 2: on teams that look horrible on Monday night. They're coming
- 29:39Speaker 2: back home.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Here.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Yes, they have to travel with one fewer day of rest,
- 29:42Speaker 2: but coming back home, it's easy. You know, it's not
- 29:45Speaker 2: like returning home from a road trip like I talk
- 29:47Speaker 2: about in other sports because you have so few games
- 29:50Speaker 2: in the NFL. The return home spot isn't really a
- 29:53Speaker 2: thing in the NFL. Philly just looks so bad on
- 29:57Speaker 2: Monday night, dude, that usually when a team looks that
- 29:59Speaker 2: bad in a very public game like that, oh, my God,
- 30:02Speaker 2: they lost 27-7 to Case Keenum. Maybe this Philly team's
- 30:06Speaker 2: not that good. That's what the public's going to be saying.
- 30:09Speaker 2: So I like Philly in this one. I don't feel
- 30:12Speaker 2: strongly enough about it because I think there are some
- 30:15Speaker 2: Some reasons to like the Rams here as well. The
- 30:17Speaker 2: Rams look like they're kind of public, but the money
- 30:19Speaker 2: is also coming in on them. They got 66% of tickets,
- 30:22Speaker 2: 80% of the cash on them. And that line has
- 30:25Speaker 2: gone up from basically two and a half through the
- 30:27Speaker 2: key number three to three and a half. So that
- 30:29Speaker 2: is a pretty key move on the Rams. So there
- 30:32Speaker 2: has been some real money driving that line on the
- 30:34Speaker 2: Rams up through that key number. So it looks like
- 30:36Speaker 2: the real money is on the Rams in this game
- 30:39Speaker 2: to some extent, but maybe at the three and a half,
- 30:41Speaker 2: it'll start coming back on the Philly side. I think
- 30:43Speaker 2: I need Philly, man. I don't know if I'm going
- 30:46Speaker 2: to change any of these opinions here, but like I said,
- 30:49Speaker 2: I'm disagreeing with the market in a lot of these
- 30:51Speaker 2: games this week, and I don't love it. That's why
- 30:54Speaker 2: I'm treading really lightly with my plays as well because
- 30:58Speaker 2: most of these games that I'm disagreeing with the market,
- 31:01Speaker 2: there are some reasons to agree with the market as well.
- 31:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 31:04Speaker 2: Even though I disagree, I think there are more reasons
- 31:07Speaker 2: to disagree, but it's games that I could see arguments
- 31:10Speaker 2: for both sides. All right. Green Bay and Tampa Bay.
- 31:15Speaker 2: What do we do with this game? I see arguments
- 31:17Speaker 2: for both sides in this one, too. Green Bay looked
- 31:19Speaker 2: really bad on Thursday night. They lost horribly to the Falcons,
- 31:23Speaker 2: although we know that the Falcons' offense is better with
- 31:25Speaker 2: Pennix in there. I mean, that's obvious, okay? So that
- 31:29Speaker 2: wasn't the Falcon team that we saw the first two weeks,
- 31:31Speaker 2: but still, Green Bay looks really ugly coming off that
- 31:34Speaker 2: loss to the Falcons. Green Bay didn't play that well
- 31:37Speaker 2: against the Jets either. However, in week one, Green Bay
- 31:40Speaker 2: actually dominated the Vikings yardage-wise, and that was one of
- 31:43Speaker 2: the most misleading results of the year. The fact they
- 31:45Speaker 2: somehow lost that game by 17 with a 200-yard edge
- 31:49Speaker 2: in the yardage. I don't get that. So I think
- 31:51Speaker 2: Green Bay's better than people think they are right now,
- 31:54Speaker 2: and they have extra rest here, right? Coming off a
- 31:57Speaker 2: real ugly game that everybody saw on Thursday. A lot
- 31:59Speaker 2: of times I do like to play on those teams
- 32:01Speaker 2: to bounce back after a game like that. The problem is,
- 32:05Speaker 2: Green Bay's laying points on the road here. The Buccaneers
- 32:08Speaker 2: are going to be in desperation mode with no wins
- 32:11Speaker 2: on the season. Green Bay has a third road game
- 32:14Speaker 2: in four weeks here, which is not that easy. And
- 32:16Speaker 2: Green Bay has to play the Bears next. And then
- 32:19Speaker 2: the Cowboys and the Lions. So those are all big games. Bears,
- 32:22Speaker 2: of course, again, is their primary rival. So you could
- 32:25Speaker 2: make the argument it's a look ahead for Green Bay.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Although I don't think they can afford to look ahead,
- 32:30Speaker 2: you know, coming off a bad loss like that. So
- 32:32Speaker 2: I still think it's kind of a positive thing. for
- 32:34Speaker 2: Green Bay, but I think it's a positive for Tampa Bay, too,
- 32:37Speaker 2: in the Battle of the Bays, because Tampa Bay, they're 0-3, dude.
- 32:40Speaker 2: They gotta get a win, so you're gonna be facing,
- 32:43Speaker 2: I think, a desperate Tampa team, and we took a
- 32:46Speaker 2: loss with Tampa last week, and they should not have
- 32:48Speaker 2: lost this game. Minnesota, in this game, Minnesota did not
- 32:52Speaker 2: even run any single play in the red zone all game. Yes,
- 32:57Speaker 2: that is correct. Minnesota never took an offensive snap, in
- 33:01Speaker 2: the red zone all game, and they still won 23
- 33:04Speaker 2: to 16. And that was because they had a punt
- 33:06Speaker 2: return touchdown early in the game. And then Baker Mayfield,
- 33:09Speaker 2: by the way, got hurt and exited the game. So
- 33:12Speaker 2: we got fucked in this game, dude. And then Minnesota
- 33:15Speaker 2: had some field goals that they made from outside the
- 33:18Speaker 2: red zone. And their only touchdown was also from outside
- 33:21Speaker 2: the red zone. Their only offensive touchdown. So this is
- 33:24Speaker 2: a misleading result. Tampa Bay lost the turnover battle. They
- 33:27Speaker 2: won the yardage battle. They got kind of screwed in
- 33:30Speaker 2: this game. You know, I'm pissed, obviously, because we had
- 33:33Speaker 2: a play on Tampa, and that one, of course, Baker
- 33:36Speaker 2: Mayfield went down. But what am I about to say,
- 33:39Speaker 2: other than the fact that this is a misleading result
- 33:41Speaker 2: with Tampa Bay? Yeah, it's the injured player theory spot
- 33:44Speaker 2: for Tampa Bay here, and they are going to be
- 33:46Speaker 2: going with Jalen Daniels, who's going to get sued by
- 33:49Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels, probably, who seems very litigious. you know, against
- 33:54Speaker 2: people using his number five at LSU or whatever. But
- 33:57Speaker 2: he probably is not going to allow Jalen Daniels to
- 34:01Speaker 2: quarterback with a similar name to him. No, I don't know.
- 34:04Speaker 2: I'm just joking around. But yes, Jalen Daniels will make
- 34:07Speaker 2: his NFL regular season debut here. He's a rookie, I believe,
- 34:12Speaker 2: was drafted by Tampa this year out of University of Kansas. Now,
- 34:17Speaker 2: he's going to be a different look from Mayfield, okay?
- 34:21Speaker 2: Like Green Bay, they were going to normally have to–
- 34:23Speaker 2: prepare for Mayfield here Jalen Daniels is more of a
- 34:26Speaker 2: dual threat quarterback he can run the football a bit
- 34:29Speaker 2: so Green Bay is going to have to prepare for
- 34:33Speaker 2: that that element from Tampa Bay's offense now whereas normally
- 34:36Speaker 2: they wouldn't have to and you know what I always
- 34:38Speaker 2: say with the injured player theory I think the team
- 34:41Speaker 2: steps up their game extra um and you uh you
- 34:46Speaker 2: get a little bit of line value on that team, right?
- 34:48Speaker 2: Because the line's going to overreact to the Baker Mayfield injury.
- 34:51Speaker 2: That's why Green Bay is a road favorite to the
- 34:53Speaker 2: degree that they are. So I think you get line
- 34:56Speaker 2: value on the injured team, like I said, on the
- 34:59Speaker 2: team with the injured quarterback. And I think the team
- 35:01Speaker 2: knows they need to step up their game. And if
- 35:03Speaker 2: they like Daniels, they're going to rally around him and
- 35:05Speaker 2: try to get him a win in his debut. You
- 35:07Speaker 2: know what I mean? Oh, he was undrafted?
- 35:09Speaker 1: All right.
- 35:10Speaker 2: For some reason, I thought he got drafted. I mean,
- 35:13Speaker 2: I thought he got drafted because he's in the NFL.
- 35:16Speaker 2: But all right, I guess he was undrafted. Either way,
- 35:19Speaker 2: that's who Tampa Bay is going with here. But I
- 35:21Speaker 2: think he's going to be a little bit difficult to
- 35:23Speaker 2: repair for just because he's a dual-threat quarterback, and there's
- 35:26Speaker 2: no film on him yet, really, except for preseason, right?
- 35:28Speaker 2: So you don't really know what Tampa's going to do offensively.
- 35:31Speaker 2: And Tampa, at 0-3, I think it's just going to be,
- 35:36Speaker 2: you know, Tampa's just going to say, fuck it, in
- 35:37Speaker 2: my opinion, and just play loose, and it's just like, whatever.
- 35:41Speaker 2: You know what I mean? pressure will be completely off
- 35:45Speaker 2: of Tampa. So I'm going to lean Tampa in this game.
- 35:47Speaker 2: But I do agree that there's a positive for both
- 35:50Speaker 2: teams here. I think both teams are in a positive
- 35:52Speaker 2: spot here. I just think there are more negatives for
- 35:54Speaker 2: Green Bay here. And Green Bay is the road favorite here,
- 35:58Speaker 2: and it's a low total. So, you know, I don't
- 35:59Speaker 2: like laying road favorites with a low total. 63% of tickets,
- 36:03Speaker 2: 63% of the cash on Green Bay. They're laying 3-3.5 here.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Low total, like I said, of 38.5. expected the points
- 36:13Speaker 2: are going to be at a premium. I would take
- 36:15Speaker 2: the points if I was going to do it. Fucked
- 36:19Speaker 2: your mother gay. What's up, man? I wouldn't say it's easy,
- 36:23Speaker 2: but I'm going to lean towards Tampa in that game.
- 36:26Speaker 2: I mean, nothing is easy. I don't call anything a
- 36:29Speaker 2: lock here, but that game is certainly not one I'm
- 36:31Speaker 2: going to play. Again, I think both teams have a
- 36:34Speaker 2: reason to show up in that game. So it's a
- 36:37Speaker 2: very difficult handicap, in my opinion. Tennessee at Baltimore. This
- 36:41Speaker 2: game is not as difficult of a handicap to me.
- 36:45Speaker 2: I have a side that I like in this game,
- 36:47Speaker 2: and this one probably is going to make my pick
- 36:49Speaker 2: five entry, to be honest. Uh, Baltimore is coming back
- 36:52Speaker 2: from Brazil. And while I believe Brazil, uh, Rio, I
- 36:56Speaker 2: believe is in the Eastern time zone. Still, that was
- 36:59Speaker 2: a big game, man. You got to have, you know,
- 37:01Speaker 2: you have an unfamiliar travel spot, Baltimore, um, Played a
- 37:06Speaker 2: big game against Dallas on an international stage. High-scoring game,
- 37:11Speaker 2: so it was a good-looking win for Baltimore. People will
- 37:13Speaker 2: give them credit for beating the Cowboys and putting up
- 37:15Speaker 2: a bunch of points, even though the Cowboys' defense is ass,
- 37:18Speaker 2: so maybe you shouldn't give Baltimore that much credit for that.
- 37:22Speaker 2: And Baltimore probably should have won that game more easily,
- 37:25Speaker 2: by the way. They let the Cowboys get back in
- 37:28Speaker 2: that game and score right near the end of the game,
- 37:30Speaker 2: pretty much. But I think Baltimore might just look right
- 37:33Speaker 2: past Tennessee. I mean, Tennessee's done nothing to look good
- 37:36Speaker 2: so far. Baltimore has a primetime game coming up next.
- 37:40Speaker 2: They're playing Sunday night. And I know it's only against
- 37:42Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons, but still a Sunday night game. You
- 37:45Speaker 2: might look ahead to that because it is a primetime game.
- 37:48Speaker 2: So there is the potential look ahead there. By the way,
- 37:51Speaker 2: next week's Monday night game is Bill's Rams. And I
- 37:55Speaker 2: don't think either team is going to, I don't think
- 37:56Speaker 2: either of those teams is overlooking their, game this week
- 38:00Speaker 2: uh you know head to that game though so I
- 38:01Speaker 2: don't think that's much of a factor even though I
- 38:04Speaker 2: don't like either of those teams this week really but
- 38:06Speaker 2: yeah I'm just pointing it out um the Thursday night
- 38:09Speaker 2: game with a quick turnaround time wait who is it
- 38:13Speaker 2: again oh Tampa is in that game against Dallas so
- 38:17Speaker 2: yeah I guess that that is a slight negative for
- 38:19Speaker 2: Tampa I guess um in their game here so that's
- 38:21Speaker 2: another thing that would give me a little bit of
- 38:24Speaker 2: hesitation on Tampa as they have a quick turnaround time
- 38:27Speaker 2: playing Thursday night against Dallas. That's a pretty big game. However,
- 38:31Speaker 2: Tampa's 0-3, man, so they can't afford to look past
- 38:34Speaker 2: anybody here. So I still think Tampa shows up for
- 38:36Speaker 2: that game. Anyway, Baltimore, I think they might look past
- 38:39Speaker 2: Tennessee here, man. It's kind of a sandwich spot with
- 38:43Speaker 2: the Sunday night game upcoming and coming back from a
- 38:46Speaker 2: big game in Brazil. Yeah, I like the Titans getting
- 38:50Speaker 2: the points here in this one. Titans haven't looked good,
- 38:53Speaker 2: you know. I mean... They look good against the Eagles, though,
- 38:56Speaker 2: two weeks ago, but people are going to forget about
- 38:58Speaker 2: that because the Titans looked really bad losing to the
- 39:01Speaker 2: James Winston Giants. Yeah, that's not good, obviously, but nobody's
- 39:05Speaker 2: going to want the Titans off of that. So you
- 39:07Speaker 2: know the public's going to only be playing Baltimore here,
- 39:10Speaker 2: and you're laying a lot of points. Baltimore has 66%
- 39:13Speaker 2: of tickets and cash on them. It's an 11.5 point spread,
- 39:16Speaker 2: and the total is not high. Total's 41.5, 42.5. Yeah.
- 39:22Speaker 2: I think it's a game where Baltimore just wants to
- 39:24Speaker 2: get in, get out, uh, get the win. I think
- 39:27Speaker 2: that they, I think it's likely they don't cover. I
- 39:30Speaker 2: like Tennessee plus the points in that one. That would
- 39:33Speaker 2: be my opinion in that game. Um, again, getting a
- 39:36Speaker 2: ton of points with a low total also is something
- 39:38Speaker 2: I like to look for. So that one might make
- 39:41Speaker 2: my contest entry because, um, you know, uh, Nancy, what's up? Um, No,
- 39:47Speaker 2: it is not a Derrick Henry revenge spot. He hasn't
- 39:51Speaker 2: been on Tennessee for years, and a running back giving
- 39:54Speaker 2: that much of a shit about the team that let
- 39:56Speaker 2: him go? No, it doesn't matter. It matters with maybe
- 40:00Speaker 2: a starting pitcher in baseball. That's pretty much about it.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Maybe a quarterback, I guess. Doesn't matter at all. Henry
- 40:08Speaker 2: has already faced Tennessee multiple times since then. Does not
- 40:12Speaker 2: matter at all. That has zero bearing on this game whatsoever.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I don't think Baltimore gives a shit about that game.
- 40:20Speaker 2: I think they overlook Tennessee. Tennessee is the right side
- 40:22Speaker 2: in that game. That is probably going to make my
- 40:24Speaker 2: contest entry at the very least. It's not a play
- 40:27Speaker 2: for me on the show here, but I think I'm
- 40:29Speaker 2: going to have to put that in the contest entry
- 40:30Speaker 2: because I feel more strongly about that than a lot
- 40:32Speaker 2: of these other games. All right, the other side of
- 40:35Speaker 2: that Rio game, Dallas just played a big game against Baltimore.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Now they're coming back from Rio as well, and they
- 40:42Speaker 2: have to play an 0-3 Houston team I'm going to
- 40:45Speaker 2: be leaning towards Houston in this one, man. Dallas does
- 40:48Speaker 2: have the quick turnaround time to Thursday, although I don't
- 40:51Speaker 2: know if they're going to look ahead to Tampa Bay
- 40:53Speaker 2: because Tampa Bay hasn't looked good, but that is still
- 40:56Speaker 2: at least an NFC matchup where, honestly, I don't think
- 40:59Speaker 2: Dallas is going to care that much about Houston here.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Houston's got the better defense at the very least, which
- 41:04Speaker 2: I usually like to play the better defense getting points,
- 41:07Speaker 2: and Houston is actually laying points in this game. But
- 41:10Speaker 2: I still like Houston here for a whole bunch of reasons. Houston,
- 41:14Speaker 2: I know they're coming off a big divisional game and
- 41:16Speaker 2: they lost, so sometimes I won't want to play on
- 41:18Speaker 2: a team after that, but come on, man. They're 0-3,
- 41:21Speaker 2: and Houston versus the Cowboys is like a one-sided rivalry.
- 41:28Speaker 2: There's no way that's true. There's no fucking way that's possible.
- 41:32Speaker 2: He's been on the Ravens for, what, like three years
- 41:34Speaker 2: at least? There's no way that that's true. And even
- 41:38Speaker 2: if it is, it does not matter at all. It
- 41:41Speaker 2: does not matter. Tennessee is the right side in that game. Houston...
- 41:46Speaker 2: this is a one-sided rivalry. Do the Cowboys don't really
- 41:48Speaker 2: give a shit about Houston, but Houston is the little
- 41:51Speaker 2: brother to the Cowboys in the state of Texas. Cause
- 41:54Speaker 2: obviously the Cowboys, they're America's team. They used to be
- 41:57Speaker 2: the only team in Texas, whatever. Well, it was them
- 41:59Speaker 2: and Houston Oilers for a while. Um, but Houston, Texas,
- 42:03Speaker 2: they're an expansion team. The Cowboys don't consider them to
- 42:05Speaker 2: be a threat or whatever. Um, You know, so I
- 42:10Speaker 2: think this is a bigger game for Houston. It's also
- 42:12Speaker 2: bigger because they're 0-3. And the other thing I like
- 42:14Speaker 2: about this is the public's going to look at this,
- 42:16Speaker 2: and the public likes offense over defense, right? And they're
- 42:19Speaker 2: going to see, well, the Cowboys have a good offense,
- 42:21Speaker 2: and they at least have one win. So why would
- 42:24Speaker 2: I want to lay points with a team that can't
- 42:27Speaker 2: score like Houston? That's 0-3, right? That's what the public
- 42:30Speaker 2: is going to think. Like, why would you lay points
- 42:32Speaker 2: with an 0-3 team with a bad offense against a
- 42:36Speaker 2: 1-2 team with a good offense, right? But that's exactly
- 42:39Speaker 2: why I would want to do that here. I think
- 42:41Speaker 2: this is one of the better opinions of the week, actually.
- 42:45Speaker 2: I like Houston. Houston also, I believe, is getting Nico
- 42:47Speaker 2: Collins back finally this week, so that should help their
- 42:50Speaker 2: offense at least, even though I don't think Stroud is
- 42:52Speaker 2: that good. I think he was a flash in the pan,
- 42:55Speaker 2: you know, his– rookie season, and then the league figured
- 42:58Speaker 2: him out after that. But even so, I like Houston
- 43:01Speaker 2: in this game. I like the better defense. I like
- 43:03Speaker 2: the spot better for Houston. Weird spot for Dallas coming
- 43:06Speaker 2: off that big game against Baltimore, coming back home here.
- 43:09Speaker 2: It's a misleading-looking line. Like, how could you possibly have
- 43:13Speaker 2: an 0-3 team that's favored, right? 0-3 teams are almost
- 43:16Speaker 2: never favored. I'm going to take a guess that In
- 43:19Speaker 2: the rare case where you have an 0-3 team that's favored,
- 43:22Speaker 2: I'm going to guess that they have a good record
- 43:24Speaker 2: at winning that game at the very least. I'm going
- 43:26Speaker 2: to guess that the majority of 0-3 teams that are
- 43:28Speaker 2: favored in their game win that game. That's just the
- 43:32Speaker 2: way that this works, man. And the money is all
- 43:34Speaker 2: over Houston here. The public is on Dallas. 72% of
- 43:37Speaker 2: the tickets on Dallas. The real money is back in
- 43:40Speaker 2: Houston to some extent. 53% of the cash. They've actually
- 43:43Speaker 2: moved up from 1.5% now to 3%. It's moved up
- 43:47Speaker 2: to that key number three. Obviously, I would have liked
- 43:49Speaker 2: it better if you could get it below three. If
- 43:51Speaker 2: you can find a two and a half. You know,
- 43:53Speaker 2: if maybe the public is going to hold this thing
- 43:55Speaker 2: down and maybe you can find a two and a
- 43:56Speaker 2: half on this. But, yeah, I think Houston's the right side.
- 44:01Speaker 2: Maybe that one makes my... That one might make my
- 44:04Speaker 2: contest entry. I'm not sure yet, man. I'm kind of pissed. JC,
- 44:09Speaker 2: what's up? Oh, my God. Hi, JC. Yes, hello, everybody.
- 44:14Speaker 2: I'm trying to... You know, I'm still pissed that I
- 44:17Speaker 2: didn't put the Browns in my contest entry, man. I
- 44:21Speaker 2: almost did. I thought it was a letdown spot for
- 44:23Speaker 2: the Steelers, and the Browns had all that history on Thursday.
- 44:26Speaker 2: I was just worried about the Thursday night history of
- 44:29Speaker 2: rookie coaches, basically. Like, that wasn't a good history. But
- 44:33Speaker 2: the Browns still got the job done. All right, Miami
- 44:35Speaker 2: and Minnesota. I think Minnesota's the most overrated team in
- 44:39Speaker 2: the NFL right now. They're 3-0, and they've done nothing
- 44:43Speaker 2: to deserve this 3-0 record, okay? They got outgamed by
- 44:46Speaker 2: 200 yards by the Packers in Week 1. Packers should
- 44:50Speaker 2: not have lost this game, and yet Minnesota somehow won
- 44:52Speaker 2: this game by 17 points. I have no fucking clue
- 44:56Speaker 2: how that happened, other than Green Bay had 12 fucking
- 44:58Speaker 2: penalties in the game. But Green Bay outgamed them by
- 45:01Speaker 2: 200 yards here. So that was a misleading result. Then Minnesota,
- 45:07Speaker 2: they won 9-3 against the Bears. Okay, great. You know, whatever.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Minnesota has a good defense. I'm not going to deny that.
- 45:13Speaker 2: Their defense is good. But then I told you last week,
- 45:16Speaker 2: Minnesota did not even get into the red zone on offense.
- 45:21Speaker 2: They had no snaps in the red zone last week
- 45:24Speaker 2: against the Buccaneers and somehow won that game because they
- 45:27Speaker 2: had one long touchdown pass and they had a punt
- 45:29Speaker 2: return touchdown there. And then Baker Mayfield got hurt. So
- 45:33Speaker 2: Minnesota is an extremely misleading 3-0. I know Kyler Murray
- 45:38Speaker 2: was hurt for the second game. I don't even give
- 45:40Speaker 2: a shit, dude. Minnesota's offense is pathetic. This is one
- 45:43Speaker 2: of the worst offenses in the NFL. I don't care. Yeah,
- 45:47Speaker 2: I know they put up 39 points in the first game. Whatever.
- 45:50Speaker 2: And Murray barely played in that game, by the way.
- 45:52Speaker 2: So Murray has only played like one real game so far.
- 45:55Speaker 2: And the offense was... putrid with him out there last
- 45:58Speaker 2: week against the Buccaneers. I don't think Murray's good. I
- 46:01Speaker 2: think he's a loser. I think he's a career loser.
- 46:04Speaker 2: You know, he wasn't good in Arizona. I don't think
- 46:07Speaker 2: he's going to be good in Minnesota either. Minnesota sucks.
- 46:11Speaker 2: I think the Dolphins are the right side in this game.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Minnesota is the most, I'm telling you, they're the most
- 46:16Speaker 2: overrated 3-0 team that I've seen in quite some time.
- 46:19Speaker 2: They've lost the yardage battle in every single game, by
- 46:21Speaker 2: the way. Minnesota has not put up more than 240
- 46:25Speaker 2: yards of offense in any of their three games so far.
- 46:28Speaker 2: They're the only team in the NFL to do that,
- 46:30Speaker 2: by the way. I believe every other team has had
- 46:32Speaker 2: at least one game where they've put up more than
- 46:35Speaker 2: 240 yards of offense. Minnesota has not done that. They're
- 46:38Speaker 2: debatably the worst offense in the NFL so far. They suck.
- 46:42Speaker 2: And is that really what you want when you're going
- 46:44Speaker 2: to lay double digits? Do you want a pathetic offense
- 46:48Speaker 2: when you have to win by double digits?
- 46:50Speaker 3: No.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Fuck no. I know how bad Miami is, and I
- 46:53Speaker 2: have hesitations about Miami because... Well, they should have covered
- 46:57Speaker 2: last week, first of all, against the Chiefs, so I'm
- 46:59Speaker 2: pissed about that shit because that was in my contest entry.
- 47:02Speaker 2: And if you saw that game, Miami was down seven
- 47:05Speaker 2: with like four minutes left in the game. And what happened? Oh, yeah,
- 47:09Speaker 2: a bullshit roughing the passer call in the end zone
- 47:12Speaker 2: when Miami was about to get the ball back down seven.
- 47:15Speaker 2: They hit Mahomes in the end zone, but they hit
- 47:17Speaker 2: him while he was throwing. It was a completely legal hit.
- 47:20Speaker 2: And because it's fucking Mahomes, up here comes the flag.
- 47:23Speaker 2: It's roughing the passer. Chiefs get an extra set of downs,
- 47:26Speaker 2: and then what do they do? Oh, yeah, they wind
- 47:27Speaker 2: up fucking scoring a touchdown. Chiefs never should have fucking
- 47:31Speaker 2: covered that number. I think the Chiefs didn't even score
- 47:35Speaker 2: in the first half of that game or something, if
- 47:37Speaker 2: I remember correctly. It was a very low score, at least.
- 47:40Speaker 2: The Chiefs scored two touchdowns late in the game. That
- 47:44Speaker 2: was a game that Miami was hanging around in that game.
- 47:46Speaker 2: So I think Miami, they do have the ability to
- 47:49Speaker 2: hang around, man. If they could do that against the Chiefs,
- 47:52Speaker 2: The Vikings have no offense. So I think Miami should
- 47:56Speaker 2: be able to hang in this game. I like Miami.
- 47:58Speaker 2: I know it's a third-row game in four weeks, whatever.
- 48:01Speaker 2: I'm not laying points with this Vikings offense. They're complete ass. And, yeah,
- 48:05Speaker 2: I know Miami's offense is ass, too. Miami might be
- 48:08Speaker 2: the only offense in the league that's worse than the Vikings, okay? Fine.
- 48:12Speaker 2: I'll give you that. Miami might be the other team
- 48:15Speaker 2: that may have done that, that's put up fewer yards
- 48:18Speaker 2: than the Vikings or whatever. Whatever. You need the Vikings
- 48:21Speaker 2: to win by more than 10 points here. I'm not
- 48:24Speaker 2: doing it. Miami's the right side in this game. Let
- 48:27Speaker 2: me see. Minnesota's got 66% of tickets, only 65% of
- 48:31Speaker 2: the cash on them. Look at the fucking total in
- 48:33Speaker 2: this game. It's 38 and a half. And you want
- 48:36Speaker 2: to lay 10 points in Minnesota? Yeah. Good luck with
- 48:40Speaker 2: that shit. No. Miami's the right side in this one.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Getting double digit points with a total of 38 and
- 48:46Speaker 2: a half in the NFL, it's almost like an automatic play.
- 48:49Speaker 2: And Again, my one hesitation with Miami really is that
- 48:53Speaker 2: that was a big game for them against the Chiefs.
- 48:55Speaker 2: When a team is hanging around like Miami did last
- 48:58Speaker 2: week as a big underdog, I don't love backing them
- 49:01Speaker 2: in the next game, but I think it's the right side.
- 49:03Speaker 2: Minnesota is just so overrated. This is a 3-0 team
- 49:07Speaker 2: versus an 0-3 team. I think it's the only one
- 49:11Speaker 2: of those. By principle alone, you've got to take the
- 49:14Speaker 2: 0-3 team against the 3-0. You've got to just do it.
- 49:17Speaker 2: I think this is the only scenario where... uh that
- 49:20Speaker 2: where we have that this week yeah i'm assuming that
- 49:23Speaker 2: long term if you play the own three team against
- 49:25Speaker 2: the spread against the three and all you're going to
- 49:27Speaker 2: win so yeah that's what we should do in that
- 49:30Speaker 2: game um you're taking a specific player to pick off
- 49:37Speaker 2: CJ Stroud. I would not do that. There's no way
- 49:40Speaker 2: I would play those fucking like lottery props. Just know
- 49:43Speaker 2: that it's basically a lottery ticket. You're just trying to
- 49:45Speaker 2: get really lucky. Um, I've already touched both JC. Um,
- 49:53Speaker 2: the week two game was a, was a weather game for,
- 49:56Speaker 2: for who, for Tampa Bay. It was, um, Which game?
- 50:00Speaker 2: Whose game are you talking about? Oh, the Chicago-Minnesota game,
- 50:04Speaker 2: you mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was, but I
- 50:06Speaker 2: don't even care. Dude, Minnesota's offense is still complete ass.
- 50:11Speaker 2: You saw what they did last week, which was literally nothing.
- 50:14Speaker 2: So that offense is terrible. I'm not, I mean, I'm
- 50:17Speaker 2: not wrong about that. Dirty Sock, yes. What's up? Yes,
- 50:22Speaker 2: thank you. That's not going to fucking happen, dude. The
- 50:26Speaker 2: Dolphins are the right side. I mean, knowing my luck,
- 50:33Speaker 2: that will be what happens, but it's not going to
- 50:35Speaker 2: be a play for me. Yes. Yes, Vikings-Bears. Yeah, correct.
- 50:41Speaker 2: You're right. That was a bad weather game.
- 50:43Speaker 3: All right.
- 50:45Speaker 2: That was the first game of the 4 p.m. slate here.
- 50:48Speaker 2: We have Kansas City and Las Vegas, a battle of
- 50:51Speaker 2: two 3-0 teams. Yeah, okay. We know who the better
- 50:55Speaker 2: team is here. It's the Chiefs. I'm not going to
- 50:58Speaker 2: buy this bullshit with the Vegas Raiders, dude. I know
- 51:01Speaker 2: the Raiders are 3-0. I know Kirk Cousins looks pretty good,
- 51:04Speaker 2: but they beat the Dolphins in week one. Okay, the
- 51:07Speaker 2: Dolphins are the worst team in the NFL. Who cares?
- 51:10Speaker 2: Then they beat this Chargers team that can't get out
- 51:12Speaker 2: of their own way. The Chargers are 3-0. Does that
- 51:15Speaker 2: win look as good right now for the Raiders? Not really.
- 51:19Speaker 2: And then what happened last week? Oh, yeah. The Raiders
- 51:22Speaker 2: were losing by two scores to the Saints yesterday. in
- 51:25Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and what happened? The Saints made history
- 51:29Speaker 2: last week, and they turned the ball over on four
- 51:32Speaker 2: straight possessions in the fourth quarter. That's never happened before
- 51:36Speaker 2: in NFL history, I believe. That's how the Raiders won
- 51:39Speaker 2: that game against the Saints. You want to talk about
- 51:41Speaker 2: a misleading result? Four straight turnovers in the fourth quarter
- 51:45Speaker 2: by the Saints. Never fucking happened in NFL history, and
- 51:48Speaker 2: that's the reason the Raiders won that game. They never
- 51:50Speaker 2: should have won this game against the Saints. The Saints
- 51:53Speaker 2: out-gamed them. The Saints were minus three in turnovers. Total
- 51:57Speaker 2: bullshit is what happened in that game. The Raiders are
- 52:00Speaker 2: not this good. I know the Raiders will get up
- 52:03Speaker 2: for a game against the Chiefs, but this game is
- 52:05Speaker 2: Chiefs or pass for me. People are going to look
- 52:08Speaker 2: at this and say, oh my God, it's 3-0 versus 3-0.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Let's take the home underdog here. no i'm not buying
- 52:14Speaker 2: it kansas city's coming off an ugly game against the
- 52:16Speaker 2: dolphins where i think kansas city just went through the
- 52:19Speaker 2: motions and yes i know they're having to go east
- 52:20Speaker 2: coast to west coast but the good news for them
- 52:23Speaker 2: is this is not a late game it's only a
- 52:24Speaker 2: 4 25 p.m eastern game so it's not a night
- 52:28Speaker 2: game for them and yeah so i don't think it's
- 52:30Speaker 2: that bad for them i think this game chiefs to
- 52:33Speaker 2: the right side in this game in my opinion the
- 52:35Speaker 2: money doesn't agree i told you the money was going
- 52:37Speaker 2: to disagree with some of my uh opinions here chiefs
- 52:40Speaker 2: are laying four and a half here 51 of the
- 52:43Speaker 2: tickets on kansas city 56 of the cash on vegas
- 52:45Speaker 2: but when are you going to get a kansas city
- 52:48Speaker 2: and raiders game where the public is not heavily on
- 52:50Speaker 2: the chiefs right like that's kind of what i'm thinking
- 52:53Speaker 2: like the public doesn't really want to back the chiefs
- 52:57Speaker 2: here yet they're clearly the better team uh you know
- 53:01Speaker 2: i mean we're still talking about chiefs raiders like even
- 53:03Speaker 2: if the raiders are a little bit better right now
- 53:06Speaker 2: The Chiefs are still like a Super Bowl contending team,
- 53:08Speaker 2: and the Raiders are still the fucking Raiders. You know,
- 53:11Speaker 2: even if they're a little bit better, Kansas City's still
- 53:14Speaker 2: going to be able to beat them. Yes. The Chiefs
- 53:21Speaker 2: have a bye next. Yeah, I mean, I don't put
- 53:23Speaker 2: much weight into the bye. Like, you know, I mean...
- 53:27Speaker 2: I think the only thing that the bye does is
- 53:30Speaker 2: it can delay a look-ahead spot. If a team has
- 53:32Speaker 2: a big game after the bye, I think that look-ahead
- 53:35Speaker 2: gets mitigated a little bit. Other than that, I don't
- 53:38Speaker 2: care if a team has a bye coming up next
- 53:40Speaker 2: unless the team's really, really roughed up and it looks
- 53:43Speaker 2: like they're just going to not care about a game
- 53:46Speaker 2: right before going into a bye and want to use
- 53:48Speaker 2: that bye to rest up. I don't think that's the
- 53:50Speaker 2: case here with Kansas City. Kansas City's coming off a
- 53:52Speaker 2: game where they didn't look good. against Miami. Again, what
- 53:56Speaker 2: do I say? When a team's a big favorite and
- 53:57Speaker 2: they don't play well, which was the case with Kansas City,
- 54:00Speaker 2: I think they play better in the next game. So
- 54:03Speaker 2: that's my opinion there. Denver and San Francisco, this is
- 54:06Speaker 2: one of the games where I'm disagreeing with the market
- 54:08Speaker 2: the most. I like the 49ers in this game. Denver...
- 54:13Speaker 2: They're coming off a game where they looked way better
- 54:15Speaker 2: than they were. It was a primetime game. Everybody saw
- 54:18Speaker 2: that game. Everyone loves the Rams here. The Rams are
- 54:21Speaker 2: still one of the Super Bowl favorites this year. Denver
- 54:23Speaker 2: beating the Rams on primetime looks awesome. You know what
- 54:27Speaker 2: I mean? So I think immediately that sets up a
- 54:29Speaker 2: spot where Denver's going to be a little bit overvalued.
- 54:32Speaker 2: Denver could be in a letdown spot off a big
- 54:34Speaker 2: game like that. That was a huge game. But it
- 54:37Speaker 2: was also misleading, as I already pointed out. The Rams
- 54:39Speaker 2: dominated this game. The Rams were winning almost the entire game.
- 54:43Speaker 2: The Rams had a huge yardage edge in the game.
- 54:46Speaker 2: They won the yardage battle by over 200 yards in
- 54:49Speaker 2: this game. So this game was not what it looked
- 54:50Speaker 2: like on the scoreboard. And you want to talk about scoreboards,
- 54:54Speaker 2: by the way. Denver's 2-1, yet Denver has only led... for,
- 54:59Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe about five minutes of game time
- 55:02Speaker 2: at most this entire season. Denver, this year, looks like
- 55:06Speaker 2: what Tampa Bay looked like last year. Remember, I kept
- 55:09Speaker 2: talking about how Tampa Bay was winning in the final
- 55:12Speaker 2: two minutes, like, you know, overcoming these late deficits in
- 55:15Speaker 2: every fucking game? Well, that's the Broncos right now. The
- 55:19Speaker 2: Broncos got killed by the Chiefs and never led in
- 55:21Speaker 2: that game, I don't believe. Then, The Broncos only led
- 55:24Speaker 2: late in the game against the Jaguars after they came
- 55:27Speaker 2: back and won. And then Denver against the Rams, they
- 55:32Speaker 2: were losing that entire game too pretty much, and they
- 55:34Speaker 2: only took the lead really late in the game as well.
- 55:36Speaker 2: So Denver has barely been leading at all this entire season.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Now they're going back out on the road to the
- 55:42Speaker 2: Pacific Coast after they were at home a mile high
- 55:45Speaker 2: the last two games. And by the way, Denver is
- 55:46Speaker 2: 0-1 on the road so far this year, so they
- 55:49Speaker 2: haven't been good on the road so far. They lost
- 55:51Speaker 2: to the Chiefs. And if it's of any importance, I've
- 55:56Speaker 2: been right about all three of Denver's games so far,
- 55:59Speaker 2: even though probably I shouldn't have been right about the
- 56:01Speaker 2: game against the Rams. As you can see, the Rams
- 56:03Speaker 2: actually dominated them, but I was correct in that game
- 56:06Speaker 2: about the final score, whatever. I don't like Denver here, man.
- 56:10Speaker 2: I just don't. And Denver does have the Chargers next too,
- 56:13Speaker 2: so I don't know. The 49ers might be a game
- 56:16Speaker 2: of less importance. to Denver right with a divisional game
- 56:19Speaker 2: up next even though the Chargers haven't looked good that's
- 56:22Speaker 2: still a divisional game coming up next for Denver so
- 56:25Speaker 2: they still might look ahead to that and as far
- 56:27Speaker 2: as the Niners the Niners didn't look that good last
- 56:29Speaker 2: week they're staying at home and they're coming off an
- 56:31Speaker 2: ugly game where they let the Cardinals get back into
- 56:34Speaker 2: that game and San Francisco had a close call in
- 56:36Speaker 2: that game what do I always say When a team
- 56:39Speaker 2: has a close call, is a big favorite, like what
- 56:41Speaker 2: happened to the 49ers, usually they refocus in the next
- 56:45Speaker 2: game and they do better. And the 49ers have been
- 56:48Speaker 2: at home since week two. They've had no true road
- 56:51Speaker 2: games so far because that first game was considered to
- 56:55Speaker 2: be a home game for the Rams, I believe. But
- 56:57Speaker 2: it was in Australia, so it was not a true
- 57:00Speaker 2: road game there. But whatever. I like the 49ers in
- 57:04Speaker 2: this one for all the reasons I stated. I know
- 57:06Speaker 2: the 49ers are a very injured team. What else is new?
- 57:10Speaker 2: They got to get rid of that electrical substation, man.
- 57:12Speaker 2: They got a lot of injuries, although wide receiver on
- 57:15Speaker 2: my fantasy team, Mike Evans, does look like he will
- 57:18Speaker 2: probably play here, and they do still have Debo, CMC, Purdy, Kittle.
- 57:23Speaker 2: Those guys are all here, so it's not too bad
- 57:26Speaker 2: for them, although they did lose Nick Bosa again, though.
- 57:30Speaker 2: I mean, again, what else is new? So they do
- 57:32Speaker 2: have some defensive injuries here as well, but Hopefully their
- 57:35Speaker 2: defense can pick up the slack a little bit there.
- 57:38Speaker 2: Denver's offense is not a prolific offense, though. But we
- 57:41Speaker 2: do see the money heavily indicating on Denver in this game,
- 57:44Speaker 2: and I do not agree with this. 61% of the
- 57:46Speaker 2: tickets on San Francisco, 64% of the cash on Denver.
- 57:50Speaker 2: So the money is backing Denver in this one. I
- 57:52Speaker 2: just don't agree. What else can I say, man? You're
- 57:55Speaker 2: looking at two and a half with San Francisco here, basically,
- 57:58Speaker 2: or three. I would lean towards laying it with San Francisco.
- 58:01Speaker 2: It's definitely not going to be on my card, but
- 58:03Speaker 2: I don't agree with the market in that one. Denver,
- 58:09Speaker 2: they had a lot of close wins last year. I
- 58:11Speaker 2: will say that. They had an easy schedule last year,
- 58:15Speaker 2: and they overperformed. They were better than they looked last year. What,
- 58:22Speaker 2: road team first half a mile high? What are we
- 58:24Speaker 2: talking about? This game is in San Francisco, and the
- 58:28Speaker 2: Broncos are the road team. And no, I lean San
- 58:32Speaker 2: Francisco in that game. All right. I think the spot
- 58:35Speaker 2: is better for San Francisco. Chargers and Seattle. Both teams
- 58:41Speaker 2: are going from East Coast to West Coast here, and
- 58:43Speaker 2: it's not a late night game, but Seattle's more used
- 58:45Speaker 2: to that type of travel, right? Because Seattle's a West
- 58:48Speaker 2: Coast team. Well, no, they both are. What am I saying?
- 58:50Speaker 2: They're both West Coast teams. What am I saying? Never mind.
- 58:54Speaker 2: But Seattle's used to returning home, at least to Seattle, right?
- 58:57Speaker 2: The Chargers don't play in Seattle very often. So the
- 59:00Speaker 2: Chargers are having to play a bunch of road games here,
- 59:03Speaker 2: or at least two road games in a row. Yeah,
- 59:05Speaker 2: so Chargers are having to play two road games in
- 59:07Speaker 2: a row here. Chargers just almost pulled off that win
- 59:10Speaker 2: against the Bills. That would have been a big win
- 59:12Speaker 2: for them. And what do I always say, man? When
- 59:15Speaker 2: a team has a big game like that and they
- 59:17Speaker 2: fall just short, I think they come up flat more
- 59:20Speaker 2: often than not in the next game, even though I
- 59:21Speaker 2: know It's the returning champion Seahawks. I don't love the
- 59:25Speaker 2: spot for the Chargers here. And they do play the
- 59:27Speaker 2: Broncos next, as I mentioned. That's going to be a
- 59:29Speaker 2: game that means more to the Chargers than the Seahawks
- 59:32Speaker 2: game does. Even though I know the Chargers are 0-3
- 59:35Speaker 2: and they kind of need to win every game. I
- 59:37Speaker 2: don't like them in this spot. And I think Seattle
- 59:39Speaker 2: is going to be focused here. So even if the
- 59:42Speaker 2: Chargers are going to be focused... I still don't like
- 59:45Speaker 2: them because Seattle's coming off that game against Washington where
- 59:47Speaker 2: I gave Washington out as a play last week. But
- 59:49Speaker 2: it was a misleading win for Washington. As I already
- 59:52Speaker 2: pointed out, Seattle won the yardage battle by 200 yards
- 59:55Speaker 2: in this game, basically. They were minus three in turnovers,
- 59:58Speaker 2: which does show that they did lack focus. in this game.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: And it was Sam Darnold's first game back as well.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: So I think there were multiple positives for Seattle here
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: coming back home. They're coming off a misleading loss. They're
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: coming off a loss where they got upset. So I
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: think both of those things indicate towards Seattle here. I
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: like playing teams off of games where they were a
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: favorite and they got upset. They tend to bounce back. Also,
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, First game back, that was one of the
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: reasons why I faded them last week, right? The reverse
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: injured player spot was part of that handicap where I
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: think when a team gets their quarterback back, especially when
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: they're 2-0, they can tend to take their foot off
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: the gas a little bit and think, oh, yeah, we're
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: getting Darnold back. This is going to be easy. So
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: they tend to not play quite as hard. And sometimes
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: there's like a chemistry thing where they have to, you know,
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: work their way. Like the offense has to kind of
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: work its way back with the quarterback there, right? But
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: I think after they get that game out of the way,
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: if they play a bad game, that second game with
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: him back, I think they tend to play much better.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: I think that's what you're going to get out of
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Seattle this time. I have to lead Seattle in this one.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: I know... They look like they're going to be a
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: public favorite here. Money looks like it is coming in
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: on Seattle, though. They have 62% of the tickets. The
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: public is definitely not playing the Chargers, but 80% of
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: the cash on Seattle. So this game does look like
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: the market does kind of agree with it. And this
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: number has gone up a little bit. It opened 6.5,
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: and it's kind of gone through the key number 7.
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: So this is one where the books did not want
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: to leave the number. at six and a half below
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: that key number where it looks really inviting to take Seattle.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: You're seeing this number creep through the key number seven
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: and a half. So that kind of tells you that
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: the books kind of do want to move this one
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: and start kind of, you know, eliminating those teasers a
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: little bit here. Um, so it seems like they're a
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: little bit more worried about Seattle winning this game outright
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: than say Buffalo, where we have not seen that number, uh,
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: go to seven and a half. Uh, so I would
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: leave Seattle here. Um, You have to lay seven now
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: with them, though, probably. I would not lay seven and
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: a half with them. Maybe seven if you're really going
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: to do it. Or, again, you could put them in
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: a Moneyline parlay. But the good news, I guess, is
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: if they hit seven and a half, then you could
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: tease them down to one and a half. So you
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: could do it that way. So, you know, if the
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: oddsmakers were going to really kill the teaser, they'd have
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: to move this to nine. So you could only tease
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: them down to three with a 6.2 team teaser. But whatever,
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: you know, based on the situation, I think Seattle's the
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: right side there. Detroit at Carolina is the Sunday night game.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: Both teams, I think, are in positive spots here to
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: some extent. Detroit's coming off not looking that good against
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: the Jets as a favorite. You know, I talk about
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: when a team has a close call as a favorite
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: like Detroit did. I think a lot of times they
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: play better in the next game. However, this is a
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: road-outdoor game, and Detroit's played one of those so far,
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: and it didn't go well. They lost at Buffalo. I'm
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: not so sure this is going to go that well
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: for them either, man. Road-outdoors game for Detroit, not exactly
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: the best scenario for them. Carolina sitting at 1-2. Carolina
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: looks real bad in losing to the Browns last week.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: Nobody's going to want Carolina after they lost to Cleveland
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: last week, but if you look at this game, it
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: was kind of misleading, man. Carolina won the yardage battle
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: by over a hundred yards. And I don't know how
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: they lost this game to be honest. Um, I think
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: maybe it was some turnovers on downs or something. Uh, yeah,
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: they were old for three on fourth down. So yeah,
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: they had three turnovers on downs. Browns only had one. Uh,
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: so that was kind of it. Carolina didn't really have
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: many turnovers here. Um, Yeah, I think it was kind
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: of a misleading result here, and it looks bad on
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: the scoreboard. Nobody's going to really want Carolina after they
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: lose to the Browns. Even if the Browns did beat
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: the Steelers, Carolina's still not going to get much credit
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: for losing to the Browns. But the good news for
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: Carolina is the Browns are a better defense than Detroit is.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: The Lions' defense is not very good, so I think
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: Carolina should be able to put up more offense in
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: this one against Detroit. Now Detroit's going to put up
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: their offense as well. Their offense is really good. Carolina's
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: defense is not that good either. So I would not
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: want to be in an under in this game, even
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: though you know what I always say about these primetime games.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: The public always plays the over. But if you want
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: to play the over in this game, you basically already
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: missed the boat because it was at 48 and a
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: half and it's already up through the key number of 51,
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: basically at a 51 and a half. Now, if you're
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: really going to play the over, I would try to
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: find the 51, which is the next key number, basically
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: after 47 or maybe 48. I would not play the
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: under in this game. I'll tell you that. I think
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: you're looking at Two teams where the offenses are going
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: to have the edge here. Two bad defenses, but I
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: don't love overs in public games. Public usually likes the over,
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: but the money is coming in on the over. 83%
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: of tickets, 95% of the cash on that, on the over.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: And it's a high total. It's high for a reason,
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: although it might be skewed a little bit high because
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: of the public getting involved in a game like that.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: But I also am going to lean to Carolina here,
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: as you probably could figure out by the way I
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: was talking. Money looks like it's on Detroit right now,
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: although they're going to kind of be the public side here.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: 60% of tickets, 72% of the cash on them. They're
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: laying 3-3.5 now, but I think based off of last
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: week's results, I think Detroit getting a win, albeit over
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: the Jets, I think in the public's eye that's at
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: least going to look better than Carolina losing to Cleveland.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: So the 3-1 Cleveland Browns, by the way. Um, yeah.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: And the public, you know, they just, they like Detroit
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: as the better team out of these two teams. And
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: while yes, Detroit is the better team. I'm not so
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: sure about the spot here. So I'm going to lead
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: towards Carolina, uh, Detroit. Um, yeah, I mean, they're, they're
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: only playing the Cardinals next. That's not really a big deal, but, uh, yeah,
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: I think the lean would be. uh, towards, uh, Carolina now,
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: by the way, I did forget to mention San Francisco,
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: one negative for San Francisco is they do play the
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Seahawks next, that is a big game, right, because the
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: Seahawks are the team that eliminated San Francisco, I'm pretty sure, right,
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: in the playoff, or no, um, yes, that's right, I
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: think that's right, uh, yeah, I believe the Seahawks eliminated
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: San Francisco in the, uh, divisional series or whatever last year.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: So that is a big game for San Francisco. So
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: you can make the argument it is a look ahead
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: for San Francisco with the Seahawks coming up next. It'll
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: be a big revenge game for San Francisco. So that's
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: one negative for San Francisco in that game. That's not
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: to be overlooked, by the way, although I'm kind of
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: still leaning San Francisco there. And then we have Monday night.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: I know I've only given out one play so far
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: on the show, but I'll give you two. I'll give
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: out a Monday night play, even though I'm going to
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: talk about it again on Monday night. But just so
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: you have it now, We're going to take the New
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: Orleans Saints minus two here. And you know part of
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: the reason for that is, this is at home, by
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: the way, for the Saints. Part of the reason for
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: that is the way that they lost to the Raiders.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: People are going to think that's bad. Oh, my God,
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: New Orleans lost to the Raiders. But I told you
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: what happened in that game. The Saints had four turnovers
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: in a row in the fourth quarter. They were going
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: to win that game, and they turned it over four
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: consecutive times, I believe the first time in NFL history.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: So that was a misleading result. The Saints were the
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: better team in that game. And what have the Saints
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: done otherwise? Oh, yeah, they just almost beat the Lions
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: on the road and did beat the Ravens on the road.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: So it's not like the Saints team has a bad-looking
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: resume so far. They do not at all. They've actually
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: looked pretty good so far. For a 1-2 team, they've
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: looked about as good as possible, really. And this is
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: going to be a big divisional game for them. New
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: Orleans will be at home here. I believe New Orleans
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: has double revenge here as well for last year because
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: I believe they lost both games to the Falcons, if
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. They lost at Atlanta in the final
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: game of the season last year, and yes, they lost
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: at home to Atlanta as well. So this is double
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: revenge for New Orleans. That might have them a little
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: bit more focused. And Atlanta's going to be in a
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: fade spot, man. I mean, look at what they did
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: last week. Yeah, they have extra time off Thursday night,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: but they looked awesome against the Packers last week, and
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: that's what everybody last saw. And you know the public
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: latches on to what they saw last. And this is
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: still going to be a third road game in four
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: weeks for Atlanta, which is definitely a negative as well.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: Coming off a big win. I think the extra rest
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: actually hurts you when you have that much time to
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: think about it. It basically functions like a bye, in
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: my opinion, when you have a long week. I think
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: if you go into that long week on a negative,
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: it helps you fix shit. But if you go into
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: it on a positive, I think that's bad because you're
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: just basking in it like, oh, man, we looked awesome.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: We got Michael Penix back. He's our guy. You know
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: what I mean? Whatever. Falcons are gearing up for hate week.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: What the fuck? Against the Saints. Whatever that is, that's
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: going to motivate the Saints even more, man. I don't
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: know what this is, but if they're calling this week
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: hate week... For the Saints, yeah, I actually don't like
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: that for Atlanta. I think that's going to motivate the
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: Saints more. So, yeah, we're going to take the Saints
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: on Monday night. I think it's a let down spot
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: for Atlanta New Orleans has 57% of the tickets right
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: now which actually surprises me you would think the public
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: would be on Atlanta right now 66% of the cash
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: on New Orleans they're laying two and a half or
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: actually you can find a two you might be able
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: to find a one and a half out there right
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: now too but yeah New Orleans is going to be
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: my other play this week so hopefully the market continues
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: agreeing with it but That's it, man. That's the show here.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: Get to do it in about an hour. That's not
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: too bad considering I'm bantering and yelling at you guys.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: Forgive me. I'm an asshole. I'm a stubborn asshole on
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: the show. I get real ornery on the show. I'm
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: more ornery when we're losing here. We had a 3-3
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: day today at least after going 0-3 early in the day.
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: My college football contest entry didn't do well, so I'm
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: fucking pissed about that. But anyway, we have two plays
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: in the NFL here. We have the Jets plus the
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: points tomorrow. I know nobody's going to like that, but dude,
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: you got to get real ugly in the NFL. It's
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: what you got to do. I'm 31 and 18 so
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: far against the spread, picking all games against the spread.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: So I know what I'm doing, even though my best
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: plays didn't work out last week. And then we're going
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: to take the Saints on Monday night, minus the two.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: Or you could play Moneyline on this too, actually, if
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: you want to, like minus 125. That's in consideration as well.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: I'll have to finalize that as far as how I
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: want to make that play, but that's going to do it.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: I appreciate everybody. Chat bumping tonight. Thank you, everybody. Had
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: several people in the chat tonight. I appreciate it. Learn
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: to tell it on Twitter. Learn to tell it on Instagram. Like,

- 1:10:40Speaker 2: and we'll have some NHL to look at as well.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: So it'll be a shorter... morning board, but it'll be
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: easier for me to focus. We'll see if I wind
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: up with any plays there. Hockey's off to a 3-0 start,
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: so I like that. I'm only 1-1 in Major League
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Baseball playoffs so far, and let's not talk about the
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: WNBA at all. How about that? Maybe I should just
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: avoid it from now on and just Go with the
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: losing season. We had a winning season last year in
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: the WNBA. I'm still up overall with the WNBA. Even
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: though this season's been bad, I'm still up by three
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: or four plays, so whatever. Anyway, like, subscribe to the
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: channel here. Hype it on mobile, whatever the fuck that does.
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: Leave good comments. Leave bad comments, and I'll get mad
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: at you and probably block you. Whatever. Do whatever you want, man,
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: at your own discretion. Listen on audio. We've had the
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: weekend spike again on audio. Let's keep that going. Hell yeah,
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: even though my college football sucked ass. I almost said
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: suck dick, and then I changed it to ass, and
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: it sounded like das. But there you go. Yeah, Apple, Spotify, Spreaker,
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: we're on there. Covered in Uke is my ukulele channel
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: on YouTube. You can check that out. Got to get
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: my latest couple of covers up there. Got to add
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: them to the Patreon feed as well. Spotify, Patreon, Uke feed.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: And you get requests that I might or might not do. Um,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: it takes me a while sometimes, but I apologize. But
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: if you want to throw me some support, Patreon, learn
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: to toad, you can go over there. And we have
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: the loser cast, uh, every, uh, Tuesday night. And hopefully
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: that does not, hopefully my picks are not losers of
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: the week. Let's put it that way. Uh, I appreciate it. Um,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: My hockey leans were good again? All right, well, that's good,
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: I guess. Good read on hockey. We won the one
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: play I gave out on an empty netter. It would
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: have been a push otherwise, but the empty netter is
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: always in consideration, man. If you have a team that
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: you think is going to be winning towards the end
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: of the game, maybe we should have played it to
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: win in regulation. Maybe I should start doing that more
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: and switch up what I do. But the empty netter,
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: it happens so often now that when you have a
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: team up one or even up more than one late
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: in the game, you know, it helps you out if
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: you're on the favorites, so yes, so I'm not going
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: to say we got lucky on it, Tampa Bay was
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: the better team in the game, I'm pretty sure, I'll
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: have to look at the box score, but yeah, let's
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: do it, I appreciate it, thanks everybody, Dirty Sock, Nancy,
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: Fuck Your Mother Gay, JC, thanks for hanging out everybody, Wayne,
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: did I get everybody? Hopefully I did, I don't know,
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: I don't want to miss anybody, hopefully I did, I
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: appreciate everybody, I got to get some sleep soon, although
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: it'll probably be another hour before I do that, but Peace. Oh,
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: and I'm going to be on a podcast tomorrow night.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: I don't know if it's live or if it's being
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: recorded tomorrow. It's going to be, what the hell is
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: that dude's name? Tommy Burgos or some shit. I apologize.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: I don't even know what the guy's name is. He's funny.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: He's pretty good on Twitter. I think it's that guy.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: I'm going to be on whatever his show is tomorrow.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: I might retweet it if he tweets it, whatever the
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: hell it is, but I guess be on the lookout
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: for that as well. That's going to do it.
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: Peace. If the dark starts talking, hand me the phone.
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: Let somebody answer, let somebody know. You do not have.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: To lose this round alone. Hold on, hold on, not tonight.
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: Not now Hold on, hold on Let me pull you
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: out That bad luck fights hard But it don't get
