- 1:05all right well forget I mentioned it but it's
- 1:09week 15 of the NFL season and and it's it's where
- 1:15it's it's it's coming down to the wire there's
- 1:17not really a lot of football left so the only
- 1:22way to treasure these last remaining few weeks
- 1:26of a full slate of football is is to bet bet
- 1:30at all take all of the games we're not doing
- 1:34that or at least i'm not but we are talking about
- 1:36a number of games this week um But first, let's
- 1:41talk about last week. So last week, I went four
- 1:43and three and I lost my surefire pick. But shout
- 1:46out to you guys for the Jags Moneyline pick because
- 1:50I double dipped in that game. It ended up going
- 1:53over. But that Jags Moneyline really helped me
- 1:57out. So shout out them. Shout out Daniel Jones
- 2:02for getting horribly injured. But but yeah, so
- 2:09four and three lost a surefire So I'm only like
- 2:12a little bit in the red from last week not too
- 2:16bad I guess I might be in the in the green because
- 2:20I also put out the The Chargers money line, which
- 2:26I mean I didn't get it. We didn't give that out
- 2:29on the show, but I want to count it because I
- 2:33want to be in the green so It counts. You're
- 2:36100 % counting. It counts. Then I'm in the green.
- 2:41Doesn't matter, baby, kaboom. Yes, the Chargers
- 2:46managed to squeak that one out by the hair of
- 2:48their chinny chin chin. I didn't watch the end
- 2:51of that game, but it worked out. So doesn't matter,
- 2:56baby, kaboom. Chris, what about you? How was
- 2:59last week? Last week was a lot of fun. Went eight
- 3:03and three. Uh, one of my surefire and, and one
- 3:07of the easiest surefire wins that I've ever had
- 3:10in the history of this program. Um, the Seahawks
- 3:12just molly walked the Falcons. Um, yeah, it was
- 3:17a lot of, a lot of fun. Had a couple plus money
- 3:19winners with the Jags and then also the Chargers,
- 3:22which were, was even money, but still had a plus
- 3:25sign next to it. So I'm counting as plus money.
- 3:27Um, yeah, a lot of fun. Eight and three. Roll
- 3:31it into this week. Um, and fuck it. Why not the
- 3:34rest of the season? So yeah. Um, pretty pumped
- 3:36for this week. Sean, how'd you do five and two
- 3:40and the picks I gave out sure fire winner. Um,
- 3:45bears lost by the hook. Fuck Joe burrow. Um,
- 3:51bills had that cover all day, but they just let
- 3:54him do whatever they wanted. Um, me and the boys
- 3:58went to the bar though ended up betting puka
- 4:01td and that cash like 10 minutes after i placed
- 4:04it so that was tight um also ended up taking
- 4:08my home's interception later that night uh thanks
- 4:11to our buddy in the group chat um and that wasn't
- 4:14the only he threw but that was plus 105 i think
- 4:18so not a bad sunday um i did fall asleep before
- 4:22the eagles chargers game last night Um, yeah,
- 4:27it fell asleep at like six, but I saw some replays
- 4:30and shout out James P Sullivan, dude. Did y 'all
- 4:34see that? He had like a career game. Four interceptions.
- 4:39That's crazy. He sounds like a civil war general.
- 4:44James P Sullivan, Sully from Monsters Inc. Like
- 4:53that you had, I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, I've totally
- 4:56forgot about that. You had my mind in a blend.
- 4:58I was like, did some chargers DVF for? No, they
- 5:04were doing like the Disney broadcast. Yeah. Yeah.
- 5:06Yeah. I monsters in characters and yeah, I get
- 5:09that now. I thought that was funny. But it was
- 5:14like, it was just snagging it four times. It's
- 5:18hilarious. I thought it was funny. Yes, it was
- 5:23quite silly how they kept mentioning the Disney
- 5:26broadcast during the regular broadcast, which
- 5:30have been proven to create some very memorable
- 5:33moments in the past few years. So why wouldn't
- 5:37you? Anyway, moving on, it's week 15. We're talking
- 5:42about like six games. We're talking about exactly
- 5:45six games. And then others if we decide to bet
- 5:49them. But the first game Divisional matchup.
- 5:53I think a lot of these are divisional matchups
- 5:55I Mean like half of them. I don't know whatever
- 5:59Bill's Patriots the Patriots are home underdogs
- 6:03by a point and a half over under is 50 and a
- 6:07half and I'm not gonna front this game has my
- 6:12brain in a mental mental torture chamber right
- 6:15now It feels like the Bills can score at will
- 6:20Um, but am I just thinking that because they
- 6:24played the Bengals and their defense stinks.
- 6:27And like that game went way, way over in it for
- 6:30a snow game, which is incredible. You don't really
- 6:33see that a lot. Um, and so, but the Patriots
- 6:37are like, I mean, they're, they have the best
- 6:39record in the NFL, but they played like no one
- 6:42except the bills. Uh, and it's, uh, it's, it's,
- 6:45it's really weird. It's, and I'm also, it feels
- 6:48like there's just going to be more snow. Because
- 6:51it's it feels a bit early in the season. I didn't
- 6:54look this up at all I probably should have It
- 6:57feels a bit early in the season to have these
- 6:59snow games. So which makes me think that there's
- 7:02just going to be more snow Which then puts my
- 7:06brain in in the mode it it's very reminiscent
- 7:09of that Bill's Patriots game like Two or three
- 7:14years ago when when when Bill Belichick was still
- 7:17the coach and he just ran it up the middle the
- 7:20entire game. And they couldn't stop them. And
- 7:26the Patriots won that game, even though the Patriots
- 7:28sucked that year. So it's I don't know. I don't
- 7:31know. I have an idea of what I want to pick.
- 7:34But I also don't. So I want to hear from from
- 7:37Sean, what do you think about this game? You're
- 7:43muted. First impression, I want to take the Patriots
- 7:49here. home dogs. But I really think the best
- 7:52play is the over at 49 and a half. Buffalo's
- 7:57defense is just dog duty, absolute cheeks. They
- 8:02just kind of let Joe Burrow do whatever he wanted
- 8:05to last week. Since he put up 25 first downs
- 8:10in average six yards per play. That's not just
- 8:15bad. That's like Drake. Drake may may might actually
- 8:20have a day bad and like this is like also but
- 8:28If the pets, you know get up Josh Allen is gonna
- 8:32go full god mode again and in the best way possible
- 8:36and This is just kind of like where he plays
- 8:39like a few football. I'm scoring every drive
- 8:41You never know when it's coming, but when it
- 8:45hits its points points, points, they're just
- 8:48flooding the board. I understand divisional games
- 8:52can get ugly. They can be slow. These these still
- 8:56these teams are still fighting for the AFC East
- 8:59and both offenses have juice. Buffalo if Buffalo
- 9:04gets role in New England have to answer even
- 9:06by accident. And I did look up the weather as
- 9:10you mentioned it. Clear skies gonna be a beautiful,
- 9:14beautiful Sunday in Foxboro. It will be a high
- 9:18of 31 degrees, but that's pretty normal for these
- 9:23two teams. Also, I've got receipts from our friends
- 9:27at the Turen Center. Patriots at home with rest
- 9:30advantage. Overs since 2012. 21 -4 -1 all time.
- 9:369 -1 in the last 10. Funny enough, the most recent
- 9:41win was against the Bills. And also, there's
- 9:45another one. Bills with rest. disadvantage over
- 9:48since 2008, 31, 18 and two all time six, three
- 9:52and one in the last 10. Uh, so bad defenses,
- 9:57a QB that can just break the game open by himself
- 10:00to our offenses, fighting division, historical
- 10:03trends, screaming for points. It's points, points,
- 10:06points over 49 and a half. Chris, what you got?
- 10:09Um, well, first I'll say, um, I'm going to double
- 10:12dip with the over, but I'm also taking the bill's
- 10:14money line. Uh, New England can't win them all,
- 10:17right? Like they have to lose at some point.
- 10:22You think so? And like you said, they haven't
- 10:25played a good team since the bills bills got
- 10:29to be looking for advantage. And I know it's
- 10:31like the oldest cliche in sports. It's hard to
- 10:33be a team twice. I think it's even harder when
- 10:36the other team is really fucking good like the
- 10:38bills are. I think the bills get revenge here.
- 10:41I think they win and Yeah. Like we mentioned,
- 10:45uh, the, I know that Buffalo defense is terrible.
- 10:47New England has the worst red zone defense in
- 10:49the NFL dead last. So, um, that's awesome. I
- 10:54think, uh, yeah, that's great for the over great
- 10:56for the bills. Um, also stat from our friend
- 11:00at trend center friends at trend center. Um,
- 11:03in the last 36 years, big ass sample size when
- 11:08a team with Um, a worst winning percentage is
- 11:13favored. They are 40, 12 and one against the
- 11:18spread when the total is more than 35 and a half.
- 11:20Obviously this total is way more than 35. Um,
- 11:24yeah, I like the bills on the money line. It's
- 11:26only, I think it's minus one on most books right
- 11:30now. So I'm just going to take, don't want to
- 11:31mess with that. Um, yeah, give me a money line.
- 11:34Also remember that trend for later in this episode.
- 11:38Spoiler may not spoiler tease. I believe in the
- 11:41biz what they call it. So yes bills moneyline
- 11:43and also adding the over Willie P what you taken
- 11:46I'm on the over You guys both made a very convincing
- 11:51argument It and that that was it was either gonna
- 11:56be Patriots or the over I just couldn't Just
- 12:01couldn't put it together so thank you, but yeah
- 12:06the over it's It just feels kind of right. I
- 12:10mean, I don't think the Patriots have a bad defense.
- 12:13I think it's very middle of the road. I did not
- 12:15know that the Patriots have the worst red zone
- 12:17defense. Very, very, very good worth noting,
- 12:22I would say. That's kind of all I got. Yes, Chris.
- 12:26I just want to add something to that. It's a
- 12:30pretty key factor. It's after week 13 and on.
- 12:36That's a yeah late in the season. Um, yeah, I
- 12:40like that. So I needed to throw that in because
- 12:43that's obviously a big parameter. So yes. Okay.
- 12:47All right. Moving on, uh, another divisional
- 12:51matchup, the Ravens at the bangles, uh, the bangles
- 12:55lost a shootout in the snow against the bills.
- 12:58Like we kind of just went over, um, the Ravens,
- 13:01um, that game went over. surprisingly, when I
- 13:07really, really needed it to go under. But it's
- 13:12the Ravens just feel like not a good team right
- 13:16now. And I don't know what's going on. They just
- 13:20it feels like they just can't put it together.
- 13:23Also, they're six seven. The Bengals are home
- 13:27dogs by two and a half. And the over under is
- 13:3052 and a half. At the risk of sounding like a
- 13:34dumb dumb right now, I'm gonna take the Bengals
- 13:36plus two and a half here. I feel like this is
- 13:40kind of the move honestly, like the Ravens, you
- 13:43don't really know who they are right now. And
- 13:45at this point in the season, you gotta know who
- 13:48you are. And based on what we know about them,
- 13:52I don't think they're gonna make the playoffs.
- 13:54It's not gonna be good for them. And so it's...
- 13:58It's like it's it's the Bengals, you know, we
- 14:01know that they can score We know that they can
- 14:03score pretty much at will right now the past
- 14:07couple of weeks and the Ravens not so much their
- 14:10defense Thought they were putting it together
- 14:12for a little bit and then I don't know the the
- 14:16groundhog went back in the hole. I Don't know.
- 14:18I don't have another saying for that, but I'm
- 14:21going Bengals plus two and a half. It's a divisional
- 14:23dog at home, so I'm hoping that bodes well for
- 14:27me. Uh, Chris, what do you think? Uh, over 51
- 14:31and a half. Um, uh, we touched on, or you said
- 14:34Bengals played in a shootout last week. I think
- 14:36it's another one. Um, I took the under last time
- 14:39these two teams played on Thanksgiving. It w
- 14:42it hit, but that easily could have gone over,
- 14:45uh, Lamar Jackson at three pretty crucial turnovers.
- 14:48One, I believe in the red zone or at least in
- 14:49Bengals territory when they're driving. I don't
- 14:52think the Bengals can force three more turnovers
- 14:54again. So yeah, give me the over. I just, both
- 14:58these defenses suck. And the QBs, while, yes,
- 15:03Lamar and the Ravens offense is not good right
- 15:06now, he still has the talent to torch a bad defense.
- 15:09So yeah, over 51 and a half. The total has gone
- 15:11over in six of the last seven times these two
- 15:14teams have played. Obviously, that one being
- 15:16last two weeks ago, three weeks ago, whenever,
- 15:19Thanksgiving. So yeah, over 51 and a half for
- 15:22me. Sean, will you take it? Ravens just look
- 15:28off right now. Oddmakers have them at two and
- 15:32a half point favorites. I kind of failed to see
- 15:36why, especially on the road. Baltimore just lost
- 15:41to a geezer with a broken wrist while the Bengals
- 15:44just put up 34 on the Bills and at one point
- 15:48led, but pretty much went toe to toe, score to
- 15:52score with the Bills. I don't really get why
- 15:55this market values the Ravens this much. But
- 16:00my biggest issue isn't with the full game. I
- 16:03think it's just how Baltimore starts. They've
- 16:06been brutal in the first half. So I will be taking
- 16:10Ravens team total first half under 13 and a half.
- 16:14They are just one in 12 in their first half season
- 16:18or team totals this season. The worst. the NFL
- 16:23by an entire mile Even if you go back to last
- 16:27season They are just five and eight in this spot.
- 16:31So they like to start slow. They just really
- 16:34it it's not a fluke I mean, honestly, this is
- 16:37just how they do. It's just like they cannot
- 16:39Get out of their own way in the first half. They
- 16:43have to figure it out But yeah, give me the Ravens
- 16:46team total first half under 13 and a half Kind
- 16:49of greasy, but I love it All right Gotcha. All
- 16:55right moving on next game another divisional
- 16:59matchup the Chargers at the Chiefs the Chiefs
- 17:02are also six seven The Chiefs are favored by
- 17:06four and a half. Listen, it's right there. This
- 17:08is the only week I get to say this The Chiefs
- 17:13are Favored by four and a half points and the
- 17:16over under is forty one and a half The Chargers
- 17:19squeaked one out against the Eagles But the Chargers
- 17:23it feels like they're just beat up which is pretty
- 17:26common for them the past couple of years, so
- 17:30the Chiefs look bad Going up against the Texas
- 17:35defense, you know, it's great defense, you know,
- 17:39but at the same time it that last game kind of
- 17:44just felt like everything that used to go the
- 17:48chief's way went the opposite. Like a drop here,
- 17:53a drop there, a call. Like nothing's nothing's
- 17:57really really kind of kicking for him right now.
- 18:00And the I think the window is still kind of open
- 18:04for them to make the playoffs. As crazy as that
- 18:08sounds. But it's Very it's very tight window.
- 18:13It's very tight window The chiefs being favored
- 18:16by four and a half It doesn't feel right to me
- 18:22I Will I'll I'll let Chris do it John. Oh, yeah,
- 18:28I want to go first cuz I got some things to say
- 18:31okay, I Hate this game. I hate this matchup.
- 18:35I don't want to pick a side I don't want to pretend
- 18:38like there's even a side to pick I don't have,
- 18:41I don't have a pick for this. I just kind of
- 18:43want to talk this out. This is just like the
- 18:47Chiefs worst season since Mahomes, in the Mahomes
- 18:52era. And they're still sniffing the playoffs.
- 18:56That's crazy. In their last 10 games, the Chiefs
- 19:00have been favored nine times, despite how bad
- 19:04they've looked. They are three and six against
- 19:08the spread in those games. And in their last
- 19:1226 games, Kansas City is just 9 -17 against the
- 19:17spread, losing five straight. They've just lost
- 19:22five straight. Yet, they still have an 11 % chance
- 19:26to make the postseason, which terrifies me because
- 19:31this is like right when you think that they're
- 19:34cooked. This is when Mahomes goes full supervillain.
- 19:40So I did find this stat for when my homes throws
- 19:44for under 200 yards The Chiefs bounce back the
- 19:48very next game They are 11 and 4 against the
- 19:51spread and teams facing the Chiefs on short rest
- 19:56They are 4 and 19 straight up 8 and 15 against
- 20:02the spread the Cowboys were one of the few teams
- 20:04that actually beat them Outright in this spot
- 20:08on Thanksgiving But let's let's flip it to the
- 20:13Chargers real quick who are nine and four coming
- 20:16off an OT win against the Eagles Sounds kind
- 20:21of cute, you know, they beat the Eagles until
- 20:24you like look at who they played they played
- 20:26the Raiders the Jags who smacked him Steelers
- 20:31which I guess you could make a case for now that
- 20:33they're leading the division Titans and Vikings
- 20:38That Vikings game was when Carson Wentz got hurt.
- 20:41So yeah, they're winning but it's just cupcakes
- 20:44and chaos at this point and Justin Herbert as
- 20:50an underdog is straight money 16 12 and 1 against
- 20:55the spread isn't as a dog 12 and 6 on the road
- 21:01or neutral site and When he's a dog of three
- 21:04or more. He is just he is 12 6 and 1 And if you
- 21:08push it to three and a half, four, he's 11 and
- 21:11two against the spread. So this game is my nightmare.
- 21:17Chiefs can't cover, but bounce back after bad
- 21:19performances, my home's on short rest is deadly.
- 21:24Chargers might be fake good, who knows, but Herbert
- 21:28as a dog is elite. These are two teams I do not
- 21:32trust facing each other with trends saying bet
- 21:35the Chargers. but also don't piss off my homes.
- 21:42What Chris, what are your thoughts after just
- 21:46my insane ramblings here? Because I have no idea
- 21:50what to take in this game. I mean, I kind of
- 21:54like I get what you're coming from, especially
- 21:56like picking a side. I don't want to do that,
- 21:59so I'm not taking under 42 and a half. Neither
- 22:03offense is good. Obviously the Chiefs offensive
- 22:05struggles have been. well -documented. The Chargers
- 22:09offense is also just, I mean, not really their
- 22:12fault, their hurt, but it's bad. It's not like,
- 22:16I know they won that game against the Eagles.
- 22:18They did not look good. Jaylen Hertz, on offense,
- 22:22they did not look good. Hertz had four turnovers
- 22:24in regulation, including two on the same play,
- 22:27and they still barely won in overtime. That offensive
- 22:33line is Swiss cheese. Herbert has no time back
- 22:36there. They can't run the ball at all unless
- 22:39it's Herbert running for his life. Uh, I think
- 22:42chief's going to be able to get after him. She's
- 22:44had a really good defense at home. Mentioned
- 22:45that last week and they, defense played fine.
- 22:49Not, I know they allowed 20 points, but they
- 22:51played well enough to keep it under. So yeah,
- 22:54going back to well under 42 and a half, a late
- 22:56season divisional game. These are usually tight,
- 22:58usually low scoring. So yeah, I struggle to see
- 23:02them scoring more than six touchdowns in this
- 23:04game. Under 42 and a half Will you got anything?
- 23:09I'm also on the under. All right, let's go it
- 23:12the chiefs. I mean putting it together on offense
- 23:15for them is seems very Not great for for for
- 23:21them in these past few weeks and The Chargers
- 23:25they're they're beat up. I think they're they've
- 23:28had they were talking on the on the broadcast
- 23:31about how many offensive line combinations that
- 23:34they've had. And it's just a tremendous amount.
- 23:38Oh, yeah, that's all. And so they're both feels
- 23:43like both of these teams are going to really
- 23:45lean on the run in this game. And it's going
- 23:50to be cold in Kansas City. You know, this time
- 23:54of year, it's like Okay, like negative two degrees.
- 23:57I didn't look that up. Don't quote me, but it's
- 24:00gonna be I just know it's gonna be cold And for
- 24:03that reason I'm taking the under under forty
- 24:05one and a half That's that's kind of all I got
- 24:10unless it's not I A little a little teaser for
- 24:16later in the show. I have a stat later But Shawn
- 24:21does that help? Well that little teaser yeah
- 24:25a little bit okay, I guess I'm on the under Kick
- 24:30off it's gonna be 20 degrees Sounds pretty cold
- 24:34pretty sunny though. No clowns clear clear skies
- 24:39Yeah, this this game sucks though I Mean you
- 24:45guys know like where I'm coming from like with
- 24:48this like if you were to pick a side like gun
- 24:50to your head You couldn't do it If I had to,
- 24:55I'd probably pick the Chargers. Because it just
- 24:59feels like the Chiefs can't cover more than two.
- 25:04It's a divisional game. A lot of crazy things
- 25:07happen. This is as back up against the wall as
- 25:12you can get, though. It'd be the Chargers. I
- 25:16mean, they can still win, but yeah, I don't...
- 25:19I know back against the wall. This is one of
- 25:21my homes kind of does this thing, but also like
- 25:24you said, like every, it seems like every bounce
- 25:27to cheese. I've gotten the last however long
- 25:29my homes has been the starting quarterback. They're
- 25:31just not getting, in fact, they're usually going
- 25:33the opposite way. So yeah, if I had to pick a
- 25:36side, it'd probably be chargers plus four and
- 25:38a half, but I mean, I can see the chiefs. They
- 25:41can still win and obviously, and not cover this
- 25:45game. I could see them winning by two, but. Yeah,
- 25:48I wouldn't know. Part of it, obviously, is why
- 25:50I take the under. Yeah. I mean, I said in week
- 25:55three that I wasn't going to pick sides in the
- 25:58Chiefs' games anymore. So I guess the under is
- 26:01my only option because I'm definitely not betting
- 26:03this over with the way that the Chiefs are playing
- 26:06and the way that the Chargers are all banged
- 26:09up, too. This game stinks. This is like a very
- 26:15important game and this game stinks. Yeah. Yes.
- 26:20Both of these teams kind of stink. But hey, that's
- 26:25football. Anyway, moving on. Packers at the Broncos.
- 26:33The Broncos are home dogs by two and a half points.
- 26:35The over under is forty three and a half. The
- 26:38Bronco did they play last week? Okay, yeah, we're
- 26:43on coast beat the Raiders by touchdown Okay,
- 26:46didn't cover didn't cover no because they they
- 26:50can't win by more than a touchdown. They're physically
- 26:53capable right Packers beat the Bears Where you
- 26:59know, we talked about on this show the Bears
- 27:01end up winning this game. They're there for real
- 27:05for real But they did it so they're not But I
- 27:12don't think they're they're not totally it's
- 27:13just kind of like This is kind of like a curse
- 27:16thing at this point, honestly And I guess I should
- 27:20have looked at the schedule see if they play
- 27:21again Because I think they they do play again
- 27:24the Bears and the Packers if I'm not mistaken
- 27:27I could be mistaken. Anyway, let's get back to
- 27:29this game I guess I'll I'll go first on this
- 27:34one. I think if you give me the Broncos that
- 27:37plus Plus money plus the points. I think I think
- 27:41I gotta take it like Honestly right now with
- 27:43how inconsistent the Packers are it feels like
- 27:47Yeah, they they win these games that like actually
- 27:51matter but it kind of feels like it's just really
- 27:56inconsistent and The only consistency we have
- 27:59in this in this matchup at least from my point
- 28:02of view is The Broncos play with their food,
- 28:05but they do squeak it out And for that I'm taking
- 28:09the plot of the the points here. I'm taking plus
- 28:11two and a half It feels like they're kind of
- 28:13just giving this to me which now that I'm saying
- 28:16it out loud feels like a rat line But it's too
- 28:19late. It's already circled on the paper Broncos
- 28:22plus two and a half. That's kind of it for my
- 28:24analysis Chris, what do you think? Well did it
- 28:28impend so he can't erase the circle Yeah, sure
- 28:35I'm taking the Packers minus two and a half.
- 28:38Um, I don't love it, but I just think, I just
- 28:41think they're the better team. And I like almost
- 28:44in every position you could argue, um, that also
- 28:47this time of year is usually when Jordan love
- 28:49and this offense kind of get it together and
- 28:53play really fucking good. Obviously the defense
- 28:55is great. Uh, I just, yeah, I just trust him
- 28:59more than the Broncos. I know Broncos as a dog,
- 29:01it's a much. different story than when they're
- 29:04a favorite. But I mean, they've been playing
- 29:06with fire a lot lately and I think they get burned
- 29:10here. Take the Packers when it's two and a half.
- 29:13I mentioned that the trendsetter set as a road,
- 29:18or not road favorite, but as a favorite against
- 29:21a team with a better winning percentage. This
- 29:22is the other time. So yeah, Packers when it's
- 29:24two and a half. I just think it's going to be
- 29:28a very tight game. All right, but I like anything
- 29:31under a field ball and taking Packers. Sean,
- 29:35did you give your pick? I did not. All right.
- 29:38What's your pick? I'm on the Broncos straight
- 29:41up money line. They've won 10 straight or 10
- 29:45overall, 10 straight, correct? I don't know.
- 29:51Okay, I think it's 10 straight, but they've definitely
- 29:54won 11 straight at home. going back to last season.
- 29:59They're outscoring their opponents by 15 and
- 30:02a half points per game at mile high. They're
- 30:05tied for the best record in the NFL at 11 and
- 30:08two. Being listed as home underdogs in this just
- 30:13doesn't make much sense to me. But they piled
- 30:19on a league high of 55 sacks. And I think that
- 30:24pressure is just going to go straight at this
- 30:26young Packers offensive line. And they just kind
- 30:29of want to run the ball, maybe project Jordan
- 30:31Love a little bit. Denver, I think they have
- 30:38the talent to neutralize Green Bay and Jordan
- 30:44Love during his Toyotathon search, if you guys
- 30:47don't know about. Toyota thought his Toyota thon
- 30:50stats. Um, I could find those a little later.
- 30:52There's a lot of thon stats. Oh yeah. Uh, Jordan
- 30:57love is like really fucking good when Toyota
- 31:00thon's going on right now. I thought that was
- 31:02just a joke. You know, it's not a joke. It's
- 31:07kind of what I don't know. I don't know the numbers
- 31:09exactly, but it's kind of what I alluded to.
- 31:10Like late in the season, this offense really
- 31:12gets going and Toyota thon is always like early
- 31:15December. For however long out He has 36 touchdowns
- 31:21in two interceptions since he's been in the league
- 31:24during whenever Toyota runs Toyota phone damn
- 31:29Pretty fucking good And a top on that Top on
- 31:38that Lafleur in December. He is 21 and for straight
- 31:43-up and 14 10 and one against the spread. So
- 31:50he's really good in December. Don't think that
- 31:52I didn't look that up, but the Packers have only
- 31:58traveled to Denver eight times in franchise history.
- 32:03Isn't that a little wild? That is wild. A little
- 32:07wild. Would you care to know their record? I
- 32:11assume it's bad. It's bad. One and seven straight
- 32:14up since 1970. The only win coming in 2007 when
- 32:22Brett Favre out -dueled Jay Cutler. Damn. Crazy.
- 32:29So I'm kind of going off history right here.
- 32:33Just one and seven straight up. That's not good.
- 32:36But honestly, if you're going to give me the
- 32:3911 and two Broncos as home dogs, I'm going to
- 32:44take it. So that's just kind of, that's just
- 32:48kind of what it is. Um, but yeah, Broncos money
- 32:52line. Oh, yes. All right. Moving on. Uh, the
- 32:58next game, uh, lions at the Rams, uh, the Rams
- 33:03are favored by five and a half points and the
- 33:05over under is 55 and a half. Um, I guess I should
- 33:08have looked this up before the show, but I feel
- 33:10like this is the highest total of the week. In
- 33:14a game that feels like the Rams can score at
- 33:18will, but also the Lions can score at will most
- 33:21of the time. With both of these teams, the Lions
- 33:24coming in with the number one offense in the
- 33:26NFL right now. And the Rams, I didn't look up
- 33:29any defensive stats, but they've sure beat the
- 33:32shit out of the Cardinals last week, which really
- 33:35helped me out. Uh, I should have made that sure
- 33:38fire. Um, but anyway, uh, let's see the Rams,
- 33:43they beat the shit out of Cardinals and then
- 33:45the lions. Are they on by last week? No, they
- 33:50put Thursday. Right. They beat the Cowboys. Yes,
- 33:53they beat the Cowboys. Um, okay. Yes. And a very,
- 33:58was that a high score? That was like 44 to 30.
- 34:01Yeah, it was exactly what it was. Boom. Like
- 34:08an elephant. Anyway, Chris, what do you have
- 34:11for this game? Sorry, that was funny. Even though
- 34:16I didn't remember who they played, but yeah.
- 34:21I'm taking the Lions plus five and a half. Usually
- 34:25Detroit on the road, not very good, but this
- 34:31is in a dome controlled environment and the Rams
- 34:33don't really have home field advantage. They
- 34:36have no fans. So yeah, I just think the Lions,
- 34:40they are, they have to start putting together
- 34:43some wins. They like, if they lose this game,
- 34:46I'm, I don't know if they're mathematically eliminated,
- 34:48but they're pretty much done. I think, um, I
- 34:51don't know if they're going to win, but I like
- 34:52them to keep close. This is also like last week,
- 34:55another Utah, give me two stats from the trend
- 34:58center. Um, since 2012 road dogs coming off a
- 35:01win versus a team who just put up 45 plus points.
- 35:04are 2912 and one against the spread nine and
- 35:07one in the last 10 also Jared golf as an underdog
- 35:10four plus points since 22 2022 is nine one and
- 35:15one against the spread. So do or die spot for
- 35:19the lions. I know this is a big game for the
- 35:20Rams to fight for division crown, even though
- 35:23I guess this is an individual game. So I don't
- 35:24know if that really matters, but, um, lions got
- 35:27to have it. So I can keep it close potentially
- 35:30went out, right? Probably won't sprinkle money
- 35:32line, but yeah, definitely plus five and a half.
- 35:35Sean, what are you taking? I'm supposed to have
- 35:38a half. You took the words right out of my mouth.
- 35:42I did find another stats. Chris took some of
- 35:45my stats that I had written down. But when Sean
- 35:50McVeigh is favored by three points or more at
- 35:54home versus teams above 500, the Los Angeles
- 35:58Rams are just seven, 11 and one. Getting a call
- 36:01right now. I don't know who you are. Sorry. But
- 36:06yes, you can say that the Lions defense is shaky.
- 36:16I think it might actually help us because I did
- 36:18find another stat about this. The Lions, when
- 36:21they have allowed 30 -plus points in back -to
- 36:23-back weeks, first to Green Bay on Thanksgiving
- 36:26and then to Dallas, Dan Campbell has been money
- 36:29after these defensive losses going 17 and 8 against
- 36:33the spread after allowing 30 plus points including
- 36:366 and 4 against the spread with Detroit. Yeah,
- 36:41it's just big number, angry team, profitable
- 36:45trends. Let the lion feast. Lions plus five and
- 36:48a half. Will, what you got? That is a lot of
- 36:52points for the Lions, so I don't hate that pick.
- 36:56However, my pick for this game is the over, over
- 36:5855 and a half. It feels like a lot of the times
- 37:03when the over is set so high that it just, it
- 37:06cruises. That's what it feels like. I didn't
- 37:08look that up. I probably should have, but I didn't.
- 37:12And so for that reason, I'm taking over 55 and
- 37:14a half. It does feel like both of these teams
- 37:17score at will no matter how good the defense
- 37:20is on the other side of the ball. I like the
- 37:26over. I want to have some fun. I want to have
- 37:27some fun. I've been betting the Rams a lot lately.
- 37:32And for the most part, it's been working out.
- 37:35But for this one, I'm taking the over. Over 55
- 37:37and a half. Let's see what happens. All right.
- 37:44Very respectable. I do respect the over. I respect
- 37:49the Lions. All right. Next game. The next game
- 37:54we're talking about is Sunday night football
- 37:57Vikings at the Cowboys. The Cowboys favor by
- 38:00five and a half points here. The Vikings beat
- 38:03the shit out of the commanders on their game.
- 38:09Commanders didn't do anything. And so Jaden Daniels
- 38:13with possibly another entry. Anyway, Cowboys
- 38:18seem to be able to just score, you know, to just
- 38:22do. I mean, that's the story of the Cowboys this
- 38:24season, being able to score but not being able
- 38:27to stop anyway. The Vikings, they've just been
- 38:30kind of ass this year in total. But Cowboys favored
- 38:37by five and a half over under 47 and a half.
- 38:41Sean, what do you think about this game? Not
- 38:44gonna think too much on this one. I'm going over
- 38:4747 and a half. Vikings just mollywopped the Manders.
- 38:52And you know, JJ didn't look that bad. Three
- 38:56TDs, only 163 yards, but he went 16 and 23. That's
- 39:02not bad. Not too shabby. So I like that going
- 39:07into Dallas versus their Swiss cheese secondary.
- 39:11Meanwhile, like you said, Cowboys just score
- 39:14at will. But they are also the league's best.
- 39:17on the over going nine and four so far. And I
- 39:21do have a little stat from our friends at the
- 39:23Trends Center. Dak is a home favorite when the
- 39:27over under is less than or equal to 48, going
- 39:3223 and four in the last seven years, going nine
- 39:36and one in the last 10. So give me the over at
- 39:4047 and a half, please. And thank you. Will, what
- 39:43do you got? I'm also on the over. I mean, it's
- 39:48just math, you know? If the Vikings can score
- 39:5230 points and the Vikings can score like, you
- 39:56know, almost 30 points, it feels like this game
- 40:00is just gonna go over, you know? It's just math.
- 40:04Math is power. I don't know if you guys know
- 40:06that. I mean, that's really all I have on this
- 40:10game. I don't really have anything else. Chris?
- 40:13What are you laughing at? I love that. It's just
- 40:16math. If both teams score a certain amount of
- 40:19points, it's going to go over. It's like, yeah,
- 40:21you could say that about every game. I'm trying
- 40:23to make it entertaining for people. I was laughing
- 40:27at Koda's silhouette coming in the door and then
- 40:32picking up Sonny. And I was like. But yes, very
- 40:38astute observation, Will. Yes. Astute. Yes. Chris,
- 40:44what do you have for this game? I got the Cowboys
- 40:46minus five and a half. Yeah, nine looked really
- 40:49good last week against the ship back commanders.
- 40:53The Cowboys defense. Obviously they're not the
- 40:5685 Bears, but I think their leaps and bounds
- 40:58better than the commanders. I don't think Washington's
- 41:02even trying at this point. I think JJ kind of
- 41:05comes back to Earth. Also, Minnesota has not
- 41:07been able to put together two solid games this
- 41:09season. They are 0 and 4 against the spread after
- 41:11a win. in 2025. Dallas kind of like Detroit.
- 41:17They I mean, they need a win. And I think they're
- 41:20going to kind of run it up here. So yeah, Cowboys
- 41:22minus five and a half. Honestly, anything under
- 41:24a touchdown love the Cowboys. Okay. All right.
- 41:28Moving on to everyone's favorite segment of the
- 41:31week. The surefire double unit guaranteed not
- 41:35to lose plays of the week. I lost mine last year.
- 41:39So I have to guarantee here. Sorry, I Couldn't
- 41:46I couldn't focus with all the huffing and puffing
- 41:48you're doing in the mic. So anyway moving on
- 41:54Yeah, I'm sure the listeners love that one My
- 42:00my surefire pick this week is the Chief's chargers
- 42:05under 41 and a half and I do have a tasty tasty
- 42:08stat from our friends over at the trend center
- 42:11chiefs home favorite unders obviously when the
- 42:15chiefs are favored and they're at home and the
- 42:19I believe the filters are between the over unders
- 42:23set at 39 and a half to like 56 Which is like
- 42:27almost all of them It's 144 58 and 2 Yes quite
- 42:34a big sample size. Give me the under in this
- 42:38game. Also, it's a divisional game. And those
- 42:41tend to go under. So and that's that's pretty
- 42:44much it. That's all I got. Sean, what do you
- 42:46think? I like your surefire pick this one thing.
- 42:52Okay, well, what what is what is your Okay. Okay,
- 42:57that's what you're asking. I got you. Um, I got
- 43:00an absolute stinker, fellas. But it cannot be
- 43:07ignored The seven and six Carolina Panthers are
- 43:12favored on the road versus the New Orleans Saints
- 43:17Right after the Saints beat the Bucks in a crucial
- 43:20game for the division I'm not saying that this
- 43:23line is wrong But what I am telling you is that
- 43:30when odd makers Think that the Panthers are going
- 43:34to over perform They under perform The Carolina
- 43:42Panthers have not won or covered a game they
- 43:46were favored in regular season or postseason
- 43:49since September of 2021 that is four full years
- 43:57without a single straight -up win or an against
- 44:01the spread win as a favorite. They are 0 and
- 44:0511 in that span. Even if you zoom out since 2020,
- 44:12Panthers 3 and 14 against the spread. Those three
- 44:16covers, Davis Mills, Zach Wilson, Dwayne Haskins,
- 44:22those are the three teams they beat. Yes. That's
- 44:25hardly impressive at all. Yeah. Bryce Young doesn't
- 44:31really change the story. He's been playing much
- 44:33better this season, but this will only be his
- 44:36third career start as a favorite. He closed minus
- 44:39two and a half versus Dallas last year and lost
- 44:4230 to 14. Earlier season, he closed at minus
- 44:47five and a half at home also against the Saints
- 44:51and lost 17 to seven. Carolina. NaNo becomes
- 44:56a road favorite for the first time since September
- 44:58of 2022 versus the Giants. Surprise, surprise,
- 45:02another game they lost 19 to 16. Finally, wrapping
- 45:07it up from our friends at the Trends Center is
- 45:09a decade long system specifically targeted for
- 45:12this situation. Fade the Panthers as favorites
- 45:17versus bad teams over the last 10 years. This
- 45:22is 24 -0. 100 % win rate 90 % ROI. It's a straight
- 45:30-ass line homie And also that includes the cash
- 45:35earlier from this year versus the New Orleans
- 45:37Saints So give me the Saints plus two and a half
- 45:41as my double unit surefire guaranteed play of
- 45:44the week Chris can you get stinkier? I believe
- 45:51I can Um, I don't know, I don't know about stinky
- 45:54year, but it's as stinky. First of all, adding
- 45:57saints plus two and after my car. Um, second
- 45:59off the Indianapolis Colts are in a bit of a
- 46:04pickle. Jesus Christ. They don't have a quarterback.
- 46:08Um, obviously Daniel Jones towards Achilles.
- 46:12That's bad. Um, Riley Leonard is week to week
- 46:15now with something. I don't know what he's, but
- 46:18I know he's hurt. They're working out Philip
- 46:20rivers. Um, I don't know why. Um, I guess he's
- 46:27a body they can put back there. Um, I don't see
- 46:31how they're going to score. Like how, how are
- 46:32they going to score points? Uh, Colts team total
- 46:34under 13 and a half. The Seattle Seahawks have
- 46:38played backup quarterbacks, two straight weeks.
- 46:42Um, this, this will be the third. And in those
- 46:44two games, they have allowed a total of nine
- 46:47points with all nine coming last week against
- 46:50Kirk Cousins and the Falcons. So. Yes, Colts,
- 46:54team total under 13 and a half, double unit guaranteed
- 46:56not to lose. Whoever they roll out there, Saints
- 47:00is just going to make it a living hell for them.
- 47:03Or Saints, Seahawks. So yeah, team total under
- 47:0713 and a half. This game's going to suck. So
- 47:10yeah, Seahawks, let's go. Uh, I'm just going
- 47:13to ride the Seahawks until the wheels fall off.
- 47:15Apparently this is the third or fourth time.
- 47:18I think they're, they've been involved in a sure
- 47:19fire this season. If it ain't broke. I mean,
- 47:23yeah, they've covered, I think all but one. So
- 47:25yeah. Which obviously they don't have to cover
- 47:27this one, but yeah, team total under 13 and a
- 47:30half. Also, hopefully it'll be 13 and a half
- 47:32when this comes out. Cause usually when I give
- 47:33up team totals, the line moves against my favor.
- 47:37Um, but I already locked it in. So. Hopefully
- 47:41it'll say 13 and a half until Thursday Yeah,
- 47:44I just don't see how they can score two touchdowns
- 47:47Okay, there it is. There's the surefire double
- 47:51unit guaranteed not to lose picks of the week
- 47:54Moving on we have our extra plays from the week.
- 47:58I don't have any I will say Okay, whatever Wait,
- 48:10what happened? I missed it. I was looking at
- 48:12this kind of just ran out of the room chasing
- 48:18the cat Trying to run a show over here Really
- 48:23funny What's that? Sonny, it's a sunny bowl bowl
- 48:30With a cat hole in his whiskers There are the
- 48:36listeners at home. Not the not the viewers Yep
- 48:42All right Extra place extra place I don't have
- 48:52any I was really really thinking about taking
- 48:55the Panthers. I'm not gonna front They're just
- 48:58scrappy. I like them. I Probably wasn't gonna
- 49:01do it. I don't have it written down. So it's
- 49:03not set in stone obviously, but but that's I
- 49:06mean that's That's all I have on that note. Sean,
- 49:10what are your extra plays? I don't have any at
- 49:14the moment because none of these games matter.
- 49:20And they're kind of not worth my attention anymore.
- 49:24Do you know what I mean? I know exactly what
- 49:26you mean. The games that we didn't talk about
- 49:34suck. So I only I really only bet the Titans
- 49:40last week just because it was a a crucial game
- 49:44like for the franchise to beat Chador Sanders,
- 49:50that's it and Luckily they won outright but yeah,
- 49:57I don't have anything else I it might change
- 50:01who knows but Unless some crazy I find some other
- 50:05crazy trend center stat to be honest If I find
- 50:08another if I find a 25 and no trend center stat,
- 50:11I'm gonna bet it that's just what it is But yeah
- 50:15for right now, that's it. I got seven games Fair
- 50:20enough Chris Chris. Do you have any other extra
- 50:22place? Yeah, well Saints plus two and a half.
- 50:25I added after Sean's Excellent explanation. But
- 50:28um, yeah, I only got one more other than that
- 50:30bears my seven half against the Browns. I know
- 50:34Shador played well. He still lost outright to
- 50:39the 1 -11 Titans at home. That's bad. That's
- 50:45really, really, really bad. I don't think he's
- 50:51going to play that well again. Obviously, turnovers
- 50:53were pretty much the reason that the Browns lost
- 50:57that game. And that's kind of what the Bears
- 50:59have been thriving on all season on defense.
- 51:01So it's kind of like a bend, bend, don't break
- 51:03and cause turnovers. So I think they'll probably
- 51:05get, I'd say at least a couple on this one off
- 51:08your door. Also the Browns defense for like supposing
- 51:13they're supposed to be like the backbone of this
- 51:14team. They have been for the last few years.
- 51:17Again, the 111 Titans hung 31 on them. That at
- 51:21home, that's very bad on the road. This defense
- 51:24really all season has not been good They're allowing
- 51:2628 points per game away from Cleveland. I Think
- 51:30Chicago they're obviously coming off a loss and
- 51:32we're gonna take out some frustration again if
- 51:35the one in eleven Titans can run it up against
- 51:37this team I think Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams
- 51:40can find a way to win by more than a touchdown.
- 51:43So yeah, I just I think the Bears are They they're
- 51:47pissed off They need a win. I think they get
- 51:50a bounce back win here and run it up on the on
- 51:52the browns. So yeah, there's my son. That's only
- 51:55an extra play. That sounds like easy money. I
- 51:58might add that. Yeah. Everyone is just crying.
- 52:02I know. And he did play well. He obviously he
- 52:04threw for like 340 yards before touchdowns. He
- 52:07did. I'm not saying he played poorly. He played
- 52:08very well, but it's against the worst team in
- 52:12the league at home tights. I think where I Think
- 52:16we're crowning him a little too early and I know
- 52:18that's kind of the narrative and he was a fifth
- 52:19-round pick So it's not like he was supposed
- 52:21to be good, but I just I Mean the shade though
- 52:28if he looks like we can talk about anybody He
- 52:32was a fifth -round pick and you'd be like, oh
- 52:34cool He lost outright to a terrible terrible
- 52:39team, but because he should or we're like, hey
- 52:41this guy look out nothing like now is Yes been
- 52:45seeing a lot of people on on X and various other
- 52:51platforms writing his dong about this this performance
- 52:57he put on but they they seem to forget he he
- 53:01didn't succeed in the most important stat. They
- 53:04lost and it's not and the Titans defense ass
- 53:08let's not be like hey they're 1 -11 but the defense
- 53:10isn't half bad kind of like last year it was
- 53:13That was sort of the narrative around the Titans,
- 53:15but I mean, the deep, this defense fucking sucks.
- 53:18So it's like, if he didn't throw for 300 yards,
- 53:21especially when you were trailing for most of
- 53:22the games, you kind of have to throw it. Like.
- 53:27Yeah. Yes. He played well, but I don't see it
- 53:30happening in two weeks. Yeah. I, uh, I was on
- 53:34X today and saw a comparison between Shador's
- 53:40first three games. and Tom Brady's first three
- 53:43games. And how Shador was much better than Tom
- 53:47Brady in his first three games. And I was like,
- 53:49what are we doing? What are we doing? What about
- 53:53Peyton Manning in his first three games? Yeah,
- 53:56like, compare him to any other quarterback first
- 53:59three games. Like... It's not... I don't know.
- 54:05It's just like the glaze is just so... It's just
- 54:11so thick. Like, it's just like, ugh. You hear
- 54:16people talk about how we played. You're like,
- 54:17oh, the Browns won by two touchdowns, right?
- 54:20No, they lost outright. So I just, I mean, I
- 54:25get why they're doing it because it should or
- 54:27and everyone, it's all the people who are like,
- 54:29hey, like he's going to be good. Stop shitting
- 54:32on him. And he actually plays well for once.
- 54:34So they're like, hey, like this is what I've
- 54:37been saying. I just think we need to pump the
- 54:39brakes here. I also think the public could be
- 54:42all over. They see Shador, who just played well,
- 54:46catching more than a touchdown against like a
- 54:47Bears team who yet, I would say got exposed,
- 54:50but finally played like poorly for the first
- 54:54time this season, or at least in a long time.
- 54:57I just don't see it. I don't see how they're
- 54:59going to hang with them. Yeah, the Bears definitely
- 55:01came down to earth a little bit. But against
- 55:05an amazing Packers team. Yeah. But Shador is
- 55:11one and two. He beat the Raiders. Congratulations.
- 55:16You should beat the Raiders. You didn't score
- 55:21double digits against the Niners who are hurt
- 55:25to all hell. I don't have anybody at home also
- 55:30like and then you lost to the Titans. You lose
- 55:34to the Titans like that's just like. I'm wearing
- 55:37a tight jersey right now. And I'm like, yo, if
- 55:39you lose to the Titans, you're bad. How many
- 55:41turnovers did he have? Was it two or three? One,
- 55:44one should or should door one. He had only had
- 55:48one interception, but he had a fumble too, didn't
- 55:49he? He had a fumble. I thought he did. Um, I
- 55:53don't remember that. Cause that was like the
- 55:54whole thing where, um, after I thought he fumbled
- 55:58and then like all of the Titans defense ran to
- 56:00the end zone is was doing like his celebration.
- 56:02And we're like, Oh, like Shame on the Titans
- 56:05for calling him. It's like well look at whenever
- 56:08cam ward has fumbled this season or gotten sacked
- 56:11Everyone does his celebration right in his fucking
- 56:13face. I Yeah, and I don't want to say he was
- 56:17the reason they lost that game because their
- 56:19defense not play well at all, but he He played
- 56:22a pretty big part in it Yes, we did protect cam
- 56:27Pretty pretty well this game. Yeah, I was miles
- 56:30Garrett only had one sack the only sack that
- 56:33they allowed that they offensive line allowed.
- 56:36I, I was terrified for Cam and obviously it could
- 56:39have been two, but I forget who was the Cleveland
- 56:43defender who he just put in the earth. And like,
- 56:47that was awesome. So I thought, yeah, I think
- 56:53the Titans are obviously terrible, but that was
- 56:56the first time where it was like, Hey, kind of
- 56:59got something here. Cause that was the first
- 57:01time they played a complete football game. in
- 57:04years. Hell yeah. I mean, I kind of, I still
- 57:10kind of think that the Seahawks game was a very
- 57:14complete football game. Yeah. It was, it was
- 57:18about as, as complete as you could get for like
- 57:23what they are against, like a, against a 10 and
- 57:26three team now. Like, yo, they were also, that
- 57:31was by far our best game of the season. And we
- 57:35had two games. They played very well, but also
- 57:37they were down like 21 -3 at one point. Like
- 57:40I know they came back covered. That was awesome.
- 57:42But I think last week, I mean, we're kind of
- 57:46splitting hairs here, but. You're right. That's
- 57:52fair. That's a fair point. All right. And Chris,
- 57:57you mentioned earlier that. The Colts are working
- 58:00out Philip Rivers. I don't know if you saw, but
- 58:02they signed Philip Rivers to the practice squad.
- 58:07He's gonna start. He's gonna start on Sunday.
- 58:11Right now he's on the practice squad. Am I wrong?
- 58:15Flacco's out there, correct? Apparently that
- 58:18was a joke. Oh, okay. I got duped. Yes. But also,
- 58:25at this point, the Bengals should cut him. or
- 58:28release him. Well, I mean, Joe gets hurt again.
- 58:32Fair enough. So I mean, like, because I mean,
- 58:37if if Joe Flacco gets cut, he's playing, he's
- 58:41playing for the Colts, which that would be his
- 58:45third team this year. Yes. Has there has there
- 58:50ever been another quarterback that's played for
- 58:52three teams in a single year? Did he play for
- 58:56the Jets? This year. I know he was on the team,
- 58:59but I don't remember if he was on the jets this
- 59:02year. Wasn't he? Who was he with before since
- 59:05then? Browns. Browns. Yeah, that was it. Okay.
- 59:08Yeah. Cause they had, they had Joe Flacco, Deshaun
- 59:12Watson. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then Dylan
- 59:14Gabriel and then Shador Sanders. And can you
- 59:16pick it? Oh yeah. Can you pick it? Yeah. Yeah.
- 59:22Obviously I should have remembered that, but
- 59:24yeah. I mean, I don't know. Maybe there's gotta
- 59:27be at some point. I might, I might look that
- 59:30up. Maybe I don't know. I also like speaking
- 59:35of just like random NFL, like history, I saw
- 59:39something on X that Jalen hurts when he threw
- 59:43the pick and also fumbled on the same play that
- 59:46he was the first player, at least since like
- 59:48the late seventies where they kind of started
- 59:51tracking these things who turned the ball over
- 59:53twice in one play. Yep, that's that's I'm surprised
- 59:58that hasn't happened at some point Well, it's
- 1:00:02just such a like. Oh, I know you should like
- 1:00:05think like how do you even do that? I know it's
- 1:00:08crazy Don't get me wrong, but I'm just surprised
- 1:00:10that a ball hadn't bounced that way once in the
- 1:00:13last 50 60 years. Yeah Yeah, I mean I get that
- 1:00:21but That's hilarious. I fucking love it. It's
- 1:00:25so funny. God. For some reason, the Google AI
- 1:00:29isn't telling me if that has happened or not.
- 1:00:35Then it hasn't. Well, you need to ask Grok, or
- 1:00:39whatever its fucking name is. It's called Grok.
- 1:00:43You got to tweet at it, though. You don't. You'll
- 1:00:49be like, hey. there's just like examples like
- 1:00:52Josh Johnson has played for 14 teams and it's
- 1:00:54like okay well did he like of course he's been
- 1:00:59on three teams in a year but has he played for
- 1:01:02three teams in a year it's just not telling me
- 1:01:05oh well well that's enough of that anyway um
- 1:01:11other news um Sean you're in the hot dog bowl
- 1:01:15great yeah let's bring this up let's talk about
- 1:01:20we don't i just wanted to pose a question to
- 1:01:22the class before we got into that um okay just
- 1:01:25about the eagles obviously they're done uh no
- 1:01:29they're not done they're not going to die they're
- 1:01:32like they're chances of having any sort of success
- 1:01:37in the postseason that's not happening um are
- 1:01:41they like i've i've struggled with this for a
- 1:01:45long time nick siriani jalen hurts Obviously
- 1:01:49has great success in this league been to two
- 1:01:51Super Bowls one one of them. You could make the
- 1:01:54argument They should have won two. I have no
- 1:01:57idea if Syria is a good head coach or children
- 1:01:59Yeah, it's pretty up in the air and it's like
- 1:02:06one of them splits off from the other Every other
- 1:02:09year I switch right before them being like, okay
- 1:02:12They're actually really good. Like I was wrong
- 1:02:15to think otherwise and then the next year comes
- 1:02:18around it's like oh they fucking suck why did
- 1:02:20i think they were ever this good yeah it's uh
- 1:02:25it's weird because when you i mean just to play
- 1:02:29devil's advocate it's like i mean none of these
- 1:02:32like jalen hurts isn't gonna play like you know
- 1:02:36butt booty ass um enough to for the eagles to
- 1:02:41move them and because he's he's been very good
- 1:02:45in all the previous years. And then like Nick
- 1:02:49Sirianni, I mean, like last year at the beginning
- 1:02:51of the year, they lost, they went like, they
- 1:02:53didn't win their their first like two or three
- 1:02:56games or something. And people were just calling
- 1:02:57for his head. And then they won the Super Bowl.
- 1:02:59And so it's, it's a very, it's very interesting
- 1:03:02dichotomy that they have right now. So it's it's
- 1:03:06kind of like, I don't, I don't think it would
- 1:03:09be smart to move off of either one of them, let
- 1:03:12alone both of them. For the next year at least
- 1:03:16but next year will probably be very telling on
- 1:03:19what what the future is because it's it's uh,
- 1:03:25it's it's weird because it's like AJ Brown like
- 1:03:28everyone's calling him a diva, but like also
- 1:03:30Like he's kind of right like he's like you guys
- 1:03:34need to throw me the ball But also like the guy
- 1:03:36who's throwing the ball is not that great And
- 1:03:38it's like that's really weird of you to say that
- 1:03:41after you win the Super Bowl I don't know. It's,
- 1:03:44there's a lot of moving parts in this. They threw
- 1:03:47him the ball Monday night and he, I mean, he
- 1:03:51had a wide open touchdown dropped. And then I
- 1:03:54forget which pick it was, but they threw it to
- 1:03:58AJ and it wasn't the best throw, but he didn't
- 1:04:00really make a great effort to try to come down
- 1:04:02with it. And then they went over his head or
- 1:04:04something and got picked. I it's like, yeah,
- 1:04:07you can say he's right, but also like they're
- 1:04:10throwing him the ball. And it's like, yes, most
- 1:04:12of the time you'll come down with it. But now
- 1:04:14it's like, yes, now you can't you can't bitch
- 1:04:17and moan all season, like throw me the football.
- 1:04:19And then they start throwing you the football
- 1:04:20and you still can't capitalize. And I know, I
- 1:04:25mean, he is a diva. Let's get that out of the
- 1:04:27way. But I don't know. Is he there next year?
- 1:04:30I don't know what his contract looks like. It's
- 1:04:33tough to say. But it is, you know, them starting
- 1:04:38to throw him the ball is fairly recent. in the
- 1:04:41last two weeks, it's definitely like coming from
- 1:04:43a an AJ Brown fantasy owner. Like previous like
- 1:04:49the first half of this year. I mean, it's wasn't
- 1:04:52great. It was not fun. It was bad. Yeah. And
- 1:04:57it's like, do I not play this guy? And it's like,
- 1:05:01well, no, I can't not play him. He's AJ Brown.
- 1:05:05He's very good. But then, you know, like uh not
- 1:05:08this past week but the week before he had like
- 1:05:1035 fantasy points it's like all right i think
- 1:05:13they still lost that game but yeah i don't know
- 1:05:16he did his he did his job i don't know i just
- 1:05:20hope we bring him home uh not till he's not till
- 1:05:25he's 33 well you think they trade him well not
- 1:05:30to the titans why not who cares so they'll trade
- 1:05:34it because the patriots will try to get him before
- 1:05:36us Where you're not using like Mike Vrabel, I
- 1:05:42mean AJ Brown and Stefan digs the same locker
- 1:05:46room Rough I think I think digs only has that
- 1:05:54one year. Yeah Yeah, that's true. It's digs early
- 1:06:0030s. I think It's weird it's like but a Couple
- 1:06:07years But he's about he's been bouncing around.
- 1:06:11I think that's because that's why I think he's
- 1:06:13a bit older than he probably is Because the Vikings
- 1:06:17the Bills the Texans the Patriots, that's four
- 1:06:20teams a lot of teams. Yeah, I Just named them
- 1:06:23all Shit man, what else we got want to talk about
- 1:06:31the hot dog bowl I guess we can talk about it
- 1:06:35Sean, what is your mentality going into the hot
- 1:06:37dog bowl? It's not the hot dog bowl. He's it's
- 1:06:40like I'm consolation bracket like he's still
- 1:06:43I'm still alive. Yeah, next week into the hot
- 1:06:47dog bracket. Yeah, hot rackets better. So okay,
- 1:06:51I'm playing our buddy Ryan. Correct. Ryan's team.
- 1:06:56It actually kind of doesn't. I beat his ass last
- 1:07:00week. Well, compared to my team. Like if you
- 1:07:05go into the ESPN fantasy app, which is the only
- 1:07:12app you should use to play fantasy football because
- 1:07:15all the other ones stink. If you go to the standings
- 1:07:23and you go to points four, Ryan is outscoring
- 1:07:28me by almost a hundred points. Not well less
- 1:07:33than a hundred points, but his points against
- 1:07:36is by far The most in the league only second
- 1:07:41in the league is Chris who made the playoffs
- 1:07:44He has 1700 points against him and He scored
- 1:07:511500 points. So he was like kind of like destined
- 1:07:56to lose He's four and ten I'm seven and seven.
- 1:08:01I'm the only like 500 person in this in this
- 1:08:05fucking bracket that pisses me off because everybody's
- 1:08:08four and ten and there's three and eleven My
- 1:08:13mentality is just I just Put the best team out
- 1:08:18there and like if I end up playing in the hot
- 1:08:21dog bowl I end up playing in the hot dog bowl
- 1:08:23It's just like it's there's nothing I can do
- 1:08:26at this point. All the good players are gone
- 1:08:28I did what I could last week. I picked up like
- 1:08:32two guys off the bench I won last week somehow
- 1:08:38because Carson or our buddy Carson He had Jalen
- 1:08:42hurts who had four interceptions, which is hilarious.
- 1:08:45So Jalen hurts got point four points. I ended
- 1:08:49up winning by Six point I ended up winning by
- 1:08:55point six Six points. Oh damn. Yeah. So yeah,
- 1:09:02it was that close. Um, I woke up this morning
- 1:09:07and I was like, what the hell happened? Like
- 1:09:10I won. Are you kidding me? Um, but I had the,
- 1:09:15this is what I'm confused about is I, I had the
- 1:09:17head to head win over the guy who got in over
- 1:09:22me. I think it goes to total points first and
- 1:09:25then head to head. It goes to total points first
- 1:09:28before head to head. I think so. I think it's
- 1:09:30what ESPN's model is. It has to hit this. I mean,
- 1:09:35it makes sense, but if I beat that guy, then
- 1:09:39like, I don't know. No, it should be in, but
- 1:09:45it's whatever. Yeah. It must go to head to head
- 1:09:48because yeah, he has like 200 more. Yeah. You
- 1:09:50got a decent team. Bo Nix could go off and Derek
- 1:09:54Henry has the ability to go off. I mean, he's
- 1:09:57playing the Bengals. So it's like that defense
- 1:10:00stinks. I just got for like, this is the first
- 1:10:03time I've missed the playoffs since I've been
- 1:10:07in the fantasy league with the boys and girl.
- 1:10:15It's not fun, is it? Well, it's not it's not
- 1:10:19fun now that we actually have like something
- 1:10:22to play for in the in the losers bracket Where
- 1:10:25you're actually like a loser other than just
- 1:10:29like I don't care anymore So this is real like
- 1:10:33unfortunate because I I won last year I won the
- 1:10:36league last year and You're still forced to care
- 1:10:40Yes, and this is Kind of awful Fantasy football
- 1:10:46is a fickle bitch. I'm not going to lie. This
- 1:10:48is like kind of terrible. Just win, baby. Yeah.
- 1:10:53So my mindset is just like put the best team
- 1:10:57that I can together and hope they ball out because
- 1:11:02I was at the store earlier today and Kerger's
- 1:11:08got some pretty good deals on hot dogs. I'm not
- 1:11:09going to lie. You can get a pack of 24 hot dogs
- 1:11:14for like $6 .99 and that's not bad. So I think
- 1:11:18the only, like I've thought about this, like
- 1:11:20if I do end up losing, the like, the positive
- 1:11:24about it is I don't have to plan my meals. It's
- 1:11:28like, I don't have to, I don't have to like know
- 1:11:31what I'm going to eat. I know I'm going to eat
- 1:11:33hot dogs for like the next four days. That's
- 1:11:35pretty cool. Yeah. It's like, there's, there's
- 1:11:39some solace like in my mind about that. But other
- 1:11:44than that, I'm like, dude, my dumps are going
- 1:11:48to be terrible. And that's like not cool. Like
- 1:11:52you're thinking too much about it. It sounds
- 1:11:54like you're preparing to lose. You need to get
- 1:11:57rid of that mentality. I'm, I'm preparing to
- 1:12:00lose, but also not like I'm mentally preparing
- 1:12:06to lose. Like I am expecting the worst. which
- 1:12:10is a very unhealthy mindset. So like many therapists
- 1:12:16have told me before, that's a very, it's a very
- 1:12:19unhealthy mindset. But yeah, so, but you can't
- 1:12:27just be like, gun ho it's like, oh, I'm not gonna
- 1:12:30lose. You know, like you have to have like some
- 1:12:33doubt in your mind. Yeah, you're not insane.
- 1:12:36Yeah, I'm not insane. So I got to like, I gotta
- 1:12:40think like if I do lose then I have to I do have
- 1:12:44to mentally prepare myself to eat 71 hot dogs
- 1:12:48and that is a mental preparation that's not like
- 1:12:53just like I'm gonna Just go out and do it that
- 1:12:58is like oh I have to sit down and eat 71 hot
- 1:13:03dogs for the next however many meals it takes
- 1:13:07to eat 71 hot dogs So Yeah, that's That's my
- 1:13:14mindset behind it. You'll be all right. Just
- 1:13:18put some veggies on the hot dog and yeah fibers
- 1:13:21good But I don't I think fiber might actually
- 1:13:24hurt me Like I feel like I just go long since
- 1:13:29you've had a vegetable No, no. No, I'm just saying
- 1:13:32because like I feel like Well fiber makes you
- 1:13:36dump, right? what's it help it helps you Tom
- 1:13:41yeah not supposed to make you dump sure but I
- 1:13:51think it I think it goes both ways a little bit
- 1:13:53it turns it into solid supposed to unless you
- 1:13:59like eat a lot of fiber then you'll get cleaned
- 1:14:02out But that's a different as different situation,
- 1:14:05but I think on that note on the dumps we We send
- 1:14:09her on home. All right Thank you so much for
