- 1:21Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites the Podcast, the live version if
- 1:25Speaker 1: you're listening to us on AMP the volume in podcast Network.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I am Chad Millman, Chief Content Officer of The Action Network.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I am joined as I am for every episode by
- 1:37Speaker 1: my co host, my companion Mike Padre might be f
- 1:40Speaker 1: f professional better Simon Hunter. Hello, Buddy, I can already
- 1:47Speaker 1: tell that you're nervous about the fact we are live,
- 1:51Speaker 1: because normally you'll be like, Chad, how you doing, buddy,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and you've got a little bit of something to say,
- 1:56Speaker 1: but you're so nervous that you're gonna get fired for
- 1:59Speaker 1: what you're saying on live radio. All you could say
- 2:02Speaker 1: was how you doing, Buddy. I actually don't even care
- 2:04Speaker 1: if I get fired, but it's more like it might
- 2:06Speaker 1: about to just ruin my life. I mean people nowadays,
- 2:08Speaker 1: can't you for the simplest things. Chad knows. I think
- 2:12Speaker 1: jokes are meant to push boundaries. I go over the
- 2:14Speaker 1: line plenty of times and Matt Mitchell luckily cuts most
- 2:17Speaker 1: of it out. Now there is no rip chord. I
- 2:19Speaker 1: can ask you where your political views are? Are you
- 2:22Speaker 1: with scientologist Chad? But I think we can just do
- 2:25Speaker 1: sharp calls either way. Nothing's really gonna change from the show.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I just might if I joke pops in my head,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I might repeat it before I actually just say it.
- 2:32Speaker 1: We're usually I would just say it without thinking, so
- 2:34Speaker 1: that will probably the biggest change. Fortunately, producer Matt Mitchell
- 2:37Speaker 1: has a pause button. It's like S and L. We've
- 2:40Speaker 1: got a seven second delay. I can't do it. We'll
- 2:43Speaker 1: do it live. We'll do it lovey. Hey, thanks chat,
- 2:47Speaker 1: Thanks Bill, O'Reilly. This is the producer Matt. As Chad

- 5:04Speaker 1: Twitter at Action Network HQ. So we will get to
- 5:07Speaker 1: our final five. We will get to our big balls
- 5:11Speaker 1: better the week. I got a pretty good feeling. I
- 5:13Speaker 1: know what it's going to be, and I'm actually feeling
- 5:15Speaker 1: really good about it. We'll do some scooch Roulette, we'll
- 5:18Speaker 1: do our money line, Underdog round Robin parlay, and of
- 5:22Speaker 1: course we will start with sharp calls. Hello, who's there?
- 5:31Speaker 1: I'm talking telephone right, Yeah, a lot of people are
- 5:40Speaker 1: hoping it's like last week where I'm getting some big bets.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I get big bets from different groups every week, it's
- 5:44Speaker 1: just certain groups where those are the ones that make
- 5:47Speaker 1: you pause because you know it's obviously a key position.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So none of those this week. I mean, I got
- 5:52Speaker 1: a couple of games. We're about to talk about where
- 5:54Speaker 1: you know, these groups have hit big, but nothing nothing
- 5:58Speaker 1: compared to what that was last week, So that that
- 6:00Speaker 1: was just one of those like I really had to
- 6:02Speaker 1: take a position because again we talked about Miami and
- 6:04Speaker 1: then obviously I learned quickly we were stepping in it
- 6:07Speaker 1: um this week. The biggest one that I think me
- 6:11Speaker 1: and you were going to disagree with them on is
- 6:12Speaker 1: they like the bills. UM, A bunch of different smart
- 6:16Speaker 1: groups of coming on the bills. They love the number,
- 6:19Speaker 1: they think the two and a half's grade number they like.
- 6:21Speaker 1: They still like him at three. UM. It's it's split
- 6:24Speaker 1: though where I know a couple of pros taking up
- 6:26Speaker 1: position on my homes, but it's not the extreme of
- 6:29Speaker 1: guys taking real money and put it on the bills
- 6:31Speaker 1: right now. So if you're trying to figure out what
- 6:34Speaker 1: side the professionals are on, I would say they feel
- 6:36Speaker 1: better about the bills, where I don't know how Chad feels.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I still feel like the chiefs are gonna be the
- 6:41Speaker 1: right side to take. Like I again, we'll break it down,
- 6:44Speaker 1: but well, let me just get my I'll quickly get
- 6:46Speaker 1: my opinion on this and we will break it down.
- 6:48Speaker 1: But it feels like if we're just looking at these
- 6:53Speaker 1: two teams on the if we're just looking at the
- 6:56Speaker 1: number and not the teams, you're automatically playing the inter doctor.
- 7:00Speaker 1: But we'll we'll dig deeper. What's your next one? Yes,
- 7:04Speaker 1: the most caveman level chat his spot on Uh, we
- 7:07Speaker 1: would definitely blindly would just take a home dog um
- 7:10Speaker 1: the next big one. I thought it was no surprise
- 7:12Speaker 1: because we had touched on it. The Saints. I knew Prue,
- 7:15Speaker 1: I knew the Pros are gonna love the Saints in
- 7:17Speaker 1: this position. It's just basically, we think something's wrong with that.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Since the offense we think we think whatever is going
- 7:23Speaker 1: on with Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow just is not
- 7:25Speaker 1: jelling right now. And the Saints team again with Hill
- 7:28Speaker 1: back there, with Andy Dalton, they just feel like they
- 7:31Speaker 1: know exactly what they are and he saw this week.
- 7:34Speaker 1: They're getting guys back. I mean, Michael Thomas is back practicing.
- 7:36Speaker 1: That's big for them getting him back. He's obviously still
- 7:39Speaker 1: does what he does. You watched him earlier in the year.
- 7:42Speaker 1: He gets open. Like again, it doesn't matter how all
- 7:44Speaker 1: these guys get if you can know how to make
- 7:47Speaker 1: and break out of routes. It's such a key thing
- 7:49Speaker 1: so that numbers are fluctuating. I was shocked to see.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I woke up one morning, was it yesterday? It might
- 7:55Speaker 1: have been down to plus one and then shot back
- 7:57Speaker 1: up to plus two. And that's back one and a half.
- 7:59Speaker 1: So if thinkly a battle of the pros versus Joe's
- 8:02Speaker 1: on that one and then the next one again no surprise.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I felt like right when the game came out, I
- 8:08Speaker 1: knew that pros were gonna love it and that I
- 8:10Speaker 1: was gonna take a position with him. The Eagles. The
- 8:13Speaker 1: Eagles were down to four and a half. You saw
- 8:16Speaker 1: a really sharp group come in heavy. They took it
- 8:18Speaker 1: at the four and a half. They shot it right
- 8:20Speaker 1: up to six six and a half. In some books,
- 8:23Speaker 1: don't feel as confident at that number. I like it
- 8:25Speaker 1: still right, we still take it there. But I mean
- 8:27Speaker 1: the four and a half, the five and a half
- 8:29Speaker 1: we talked of all the time. That's that's under the sixth,
- 8:31Speaker 1: the key number. That's just a great number. And there
- 8:33Speaker 1: was no surprise. They waited until it was official Cooper
- 8:36Speaker 1: is gonna be the quarterback, and they pounced. So yeahin
- 8:39Speaker 1: those are games real touch on. Um, I'm kind of
- 8:42Speaker 1: out probably on having the Chiefs in our contest. Will
- 8:44Speaker 1: see how Chad feels. Um, just because again I know
- 8:47Speaker 1: these smart groups. Yeah, nothing crazy money wise, but enough
- 8:51Speaker 1: like six figures better enough on the bills that give
- 8:53Speaker 1: me pause. It's like, Okay, clearly this game is more more,
- 8:57Speaker 1: more of a coin flip. And I thought it was
- 8:58Speaker 1: taking the plus three with the Chiefs at home. H
- 9:03Speaker 1: I should remind people that our foxhole bet was the
- 9:06Speaker 1: Saints plus two. Still love it, falling in love with
- 9:09Speaker 1: it a little bit more every day. We'll dig it
- 9:11Speaker 1: a little bit deeper. Simon says, what it was Atlanta
- 9:14Speaker 1: plus five and a half, and the exact decision by
- 9:18Speaker 1: me was Cleveland minus three. We didn't get any conversations
- 9:23Speaker 1: about that, but you and I will dig a little
- 9:25Speaker 1: bit deeper on those games. Um, let's start with Atlanta.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So Atlanta plus five and a half, it's your Simon says,
- 9:36Speaker 1: I really liked it at five and a half. I
- 9:41Speaker 1: think the lean for the wise guys might be on
- 9:44Speaker 1: the favor here. I think based on the fact that
- 9:48Speaker 1: you're getting a Niners defense that isn't just strong against
- 9:52Speaker 1: the rush number one against the rush and Atlanta, if
- 9:57Speaker 1: there anything, they're a rush dominant offense. And then I
- 10:01Speaker 1: think there's some law of averages regression to the mean
- 10:07Speaker 1: in play here where there could be concern. Can you
- 10:12Speaker 1: keep rolling it over in Atlanta? They're now five and
- 10:15Speaker 1: oh against the spread? Is that just going to come
- 10:18Speaker 1: back to earth for them? All of that said, I
- 10:24Speaker 1: still like it when a five and a half, I
- 10:27Speaker 1: just understand why people might have a leaning on the Niners.
- 10:30Speaker 1: What say you, Simon? I honestly think it's kind of
- 10:34Speaker 1: a perfect number. It's like every book knows that every
- 10:36Speaker 1: Joe Schmo will just throw uh san Fran into a teaser.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you are a good team look viewed as
- 10:44Speaker 1: a top three, top four team right now in the NFC.
- 10:47Speaker 1: I just think people don't realize how injured they are.
- 10:49Speaker 1: They just have a lot of injuries on that team.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Where Yeah, to meet Quitel Patterson's a big deal for Atlanta.
- 10:55Speaker 1: They're just three new guys in there. Apparently this run
- 10:57Speaker 1: scheme works and it doesn't really matter here when you've
- 11:00Speaker 1: got a guy like Marioda that can also run with it,
- 11:02Speaker 1: that's always taken one defender away that like that's why
- 11:05Speaker 1: that read options such a big deal. So I get
- 11:08Speaker 1: the pause chat because I guess you're looking for more movement.
- 11:11Speaker 1: I just think that's a smart number. Um, it touched
- 11:14Speaker 1: five and then it bounced back up to five and
- 11:15Speaker 1: a half. I have no conviction with Atlanta, Like it's
- 11:18Speaker 1: just one. There's a couple of games this week. Um,
- 11:22Speaker 1: I just feel like we have no choice and we
- 11:23Speaker 1: have to bet, Like there's just certain numbers, like this
- 11:26Speaker 1: is one of these few home dogs where it's like,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you're right, maybe this should be seven, seven and a
- 11:31Speaker 1: half because Atlanta covered last week. It's not just because
- 11:34Speaker 1: they're five and oh E T y s it's not.
- 11:36Speaker 1: But the public isn't actually hammering this number. It's kind
- 11:38Speaker 1: of been flipped, um mixed. Depends on the books you
- 11:41Speaker 1: go to and look at their numbers. It's spoke between
- 11:43Speaker 1: the public and the sharps um sides and tickets. So
- 11:47Speaker 1: I don't know. I still like Atlanta, but yeah, am
- 11:50Speaker 1: I shocked it's sitting there still five and a half.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Not really just because of the teaser factor. Again, that's
- 11:55Speaker 1: just such a big thing at the factor into nowadays
- 11:57Speaker 1: where it's like, yeah, they just gonna tease it down
- 11:59Speaker 1: to the to the minus half or one or plus
- 12:02Speaker 1: one wherever it is, and they'll just take the four
- 12:04Speaker 1: hours to win out right. I definitely still like Atlanta
- 12:07Speaker 1: plus five and a half? Do I like it as
- 12:09Speaker 1: much as some other games? Uh? That will keep it
- 12:13Speaker 1: in our final five? I'm not quite sure yet, depends
- 12:16Speaker 1: on where the numbers end up midweek. Let's go back
- 12:19Speaker 1: to the Saints for a second. I love the Saints
- 12:22Speaker 1: here doesn't love them. Here's what's really interesting to me.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And I was listening to um listening to the Action
- 12:30Speaker 1: Network podcast with Stucky and Chris Raybon earlier this morning,
- 12:34Speaker 1: and they're killing it this year. Uh and stuck. He
- 12:39Speaker 1: pointed out that the Bengals this year, their offensive line
- 12:47Speaker 1: is so bad that even the guys on the edges
- 12:51Speaker 1: who were supposed to be coming in and rebuilt offensive line,
- 12:54Speaker 1: are rating out as bottom ten for their position along
- 13:00Speaker 1: the offensive line. And while the Saints haven't been getting
- 13:03Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, they still have really good defensive ends.
- 13:08Speaker 1: And if there ever is a game where they could
- 13:10Speaker 1: get themselves healthy to start forcing more pressure, it's this game.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And the other thing that was really interesting to me.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Joe Burrow we all know is amazing against the blitz.
- 13:21Speaker 1: When he's not getting blitzed, he's a pretty average to
- 13:25Speaker 1: below average QB rating, and the Saints are not a
- 13:27Speaker 1: blitzing team. So this just feels like schematically a great
- 13:32Speaker 1: spot for the Saints, and it feels like a good
- 13:34Speaker 1: spot for a team that's now been home for two
- 13:36Speaker 1: straight weeks after playing in London, and the Bengals are
- 13:39Speaker 1: still getting sort of a post Super Bowl Joe Burrow bounce.
- 13:43Speaker 1: And it's funnyhen you just read a stalic that It's like,
- 13:45Speaker 1: imagine knowing that you have a guy that does really
- 13:48Speaker 1: well against the blitz but terrible against just four rushers,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and you still can't fix that old line. So teams
- 13:53Speaker 1: don't even need to blitz. They can just keep sending
- 13:55Speaker 1: four again. Pressure on Joe. Um. Yeah, the Saints one.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I would say, I really liked it. When I saw
- 14:03Speaker 1: the number came out, I knew I was gonna be
- 14:04Speaker 1: on it, just because like the Banga should not be
- 14:06Speaker 1: favor in this position. This is basically the public decide
- 14:10Speaker 1: in the line here. But I don't know, It's like
- 14:15Speaker 1: the more the more you read, the more you see
- 14:17Speaker 1: of Joe I just feel like they're failing. Like again,
- 14:20Speaker 1: another team that's just failed. Like you just talked about
- 14:21Speaker 1: the old line. They're probably these guys in but the
- 14:24Speaker 1: system is clearly not working, like they're still getting a pressure.
- 14:26Speaker 1: So yeah, the Saints number, we were obviously hoping to
- 14:30Speaker 1: get a better number on it, but plus two is fine.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Like again, anything above a pick to me is a
- 14:35Speaker 1: good number in this matchup. So in our contest, I
- 14:38Speaker 1: knew we were probably gonna agree on this and have
- 14:40Speaker 1: this one in there. It's just I just feel bad
- 14:42Speaker 1: for Joe. It's like this should be, this should just
- 14:45Speaker 1: be such a better season. They had the money, they
- 14:47Speaker 1: had the capital, they went on and signed the guys
- 14:49Speaker 1: for the old line, and here again we're through five weeks.
- 14:52Speaker 1: It's just not working still. So I'm I'm a hundred
- 14:55Speaker 1: done with you that the Saints just felt like me
- 14:57Speaker 1: and you were gonna be on no matter what. You're
- 15:00Speaker 1: response is so and the look on your face right
- 15:04Speaker 1: now and the way you're playing with your hair, it's
- 15:07Speaker 1: so filled with anxiety. I'm so like, I felt like
- 15:11Speaker 1: you should be saying, yeah, of course this is going
- 15:13Speaker 1: to be. This is a no brainer. By the way,
- 15:16Speaker 1: all respect. I know Joe Burrow is our teammate on
- 15:19Speaker 1: the volume. I don't give a fuck if he's having
- 15:22Speaker 1: a hard time. I don't give a fuck if like
- 15:25Speaker 1: he's not getting along with Zach Taylor, Like does he
- 15:28Speaker 1: care of our numbers tank in this podcast? No, it's
- 15:32Speaker 1: a zero sum game. Right now. The Saints are two
- 15:36Speaker 1: point underdogs at home with a better scheme and a
- 15:40Speaker 1: really good defense and Michael Thomas coming back and Alvin
- 15:43Speaker 1: Camara two weeks back and getting healthier. Give me the
- 15:47Speaker 1: Saints plus two. That's it. I don't need anxiety. Yeah, well,
- 15:51Speaker 1: you're not being crazy money on the minds feel mine is?
- 15:53Speaker 1: It feels like it's too easy chat like that. That's
- 15:55Speaker 1: my issue here. It's like this feels too easy, and
- 15:59Speaker 1: that's you moments. I've increased my units after week four,
- 16:04Speaker 1: after we I wasn't even trying to unit. I was
- 16:07Speaker 1: just just I just feel like you needed up in
- 16:08Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. I can't ask you can't text
- 16:12Speaker 1: my runners say bet this certain amount without him being like,
- 16:14Speaker 1: who is this for? Your little brother? Like I needed
- 16:16Speaker 1: to be a little more ask any questions. It wasn't
- 16:20Speaker 1: even trying to unit him. It was just a simple
- 16:23Speaker 1: I can't text on me anount you said, STI you
- 16:26Speaker 1: can't shame my unit. Um. Alright, so we love the Saints.
- 16:32Speaker 1: We still like Atlanta. Uh, let's talk about Cleveland because
- 16:38Speaker 1: it's a really interesting matchup. It doesn't make sense to
- 16:41Speaker 1: me why this game open to two and a half.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I've moved up to three. I think it's still the
- 16:45Speaker 1: right side. Uh. Cleveland has the best running offense in
- 16:49Speaker 1: the NFL. Right Nick Chubb is the best running back.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, his yards after contact would make him the
- 16:56Speaker 1: fourth highest total for rushing yards in the NFL. Right now,
- 17:00Speaker 1: he's leading the league in rushing. He's tied with Sakwon Barkley.
- 17:03Speaker 1: But if you took if you only counted his yards
- 17:05Speaker 1: after contact fifteen, he'd be fourth in the NFL and rushing.
- 17:10Speaker 1: The problem with the Browns is they can't play defense.
- 17:12Speaker 1: So essentially we liked this game. At least I did.
- 17:15Speaker 1: I bet at a two and a half because I
- 17:17Speaker 1: was getting two relatively evenly matched teams and I was
- 17:20Speaker 1: getting the home team at less than a field goal.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I still probably let play Cleveland minus three. Yeah, it's
- 17:27Speaker 1: again two and a half. I got a no issue
- 17:30Speaker 1: with it. Um, I feel like the books are kind
- 17:33Speaker 1: of looking at what you just said that if Belichick
- 17:36Speaker 1: can run the ball right and control of the clock,
- 17:39Speaker 1: just what the exact same thing that Browns want to do.
- 17:41Speaker 1: And this number is good, like this game will come
- 17:43Speaker 1: down to most likely a field goal. Um, so it is.
- 17:47Speaker 1: It is is a little worries somewhere. The more you
- 17:50Speaker 1: look at this Browns team, that's the glaren thing that
- 17:52Speaker 1: pops out as you can run the ball on them.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And that's kind of what the Patriots need to do
- 17:56Speaker 1: with the rookie quarterback starting here on the road. So
- 17:59Speaker 1: still the Browns, I'm kind of with each other, Like
- 18:01Speaker 1: I would still bet it. How the Patriots dominated Detroit
- 18:04Speaker 1: last week in the trenches, what's to say they can't
- 18:07Speaker 1: turn around to do that against Cleveland. It's all about
- 18:09Speaker 1: Bill taking the ball out of the rookie's hands. And
- 18:10Speaker 1: last year with Mac he did as much as he could.
- 18:13Speaker 1: They made it to the playoffs that way. So it's
- 18:15Speaker 1: just he kind of hasn't kind of knows he needs
- 18:17Speaker 1: to do with these young quarterbacks and put them in
- 18:19Speaker 1: the best positions. But to me, it's just like her
- 18:22Speaker 1: said's better than people realize this Browns team has been
- 18:26Speaker 1: really good. Again, if you look at them on paper,
- 18:28Speaker 1: it could easily five and oh. Every game they've lost,
- 18:31Speaker 1: they've lost by the last second field goal or a
- 18:33Speaker 1: last second touchdown from Joe Flacco. It's like they kind
- 18:36Speaker 1: of had these flutie losses share and they just played tough, tough,
- 18:39Speaker 1: tight games. I gotta know, is what you're saying. Check like,
- 18:42Speaker 1: I still don't take it. I just know means you're
- 18:45Speaker 1: gonna come Sunday and we're just gonna be like, should
- 18:47Speaker 1: we take that or should we just take one of
- 18:48Speaker 1: these eight point dogs that we like. And that's always
- 18:51Speaker 1: the hardest part about doing this. I think we could
- 18:53Speaker 1: do both. I'm not letting you get both, I'll tell
- 18:56Speaker 1: you that much. Now, start the NFL week off right

- 21:09Speaker 1: they've announced their starting Skyler Thompson. We said earlier in
- 21:15Speaker 1: the week we wanted people to wait to take Miami
- 21:17Speaker 1: before we saw who the quarterback was. Skyler Thompson gets announced,
- 21:22Speaker 1: and also the ping pong tables get removed, which clearly
- 21:28Speaker 1: the Dolphins now I mean business. The line shot up
- 21:31Speaker 1: to three and a half. As soon as it shot
- 21:33Speaker 1: out to three and a half, I bet the Dolphins
- 21:35Speaker 1: plus three and a half. Wow. I wish I had
- 21:38Speaker 1: the confidence you have. Again, I'll bably end up on this.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I'm hoping to get to the four. Um Like the
- 21:43Speaker 1: pub will just come in heavy on the Vikings against
- 21:45Speaker 1: a third string quarterback, and I'll take that value. I
- 21:49Speaker 1: don't know how to cap the game though, because to me,
- 21:52Speaker 1: the way they're talking is if is if no matter what, Um,
- 21:57Speaker 1: even if Teddy gets healthy, Bridgewater won't I'm gonna be
- 22:00Speaker 1: the quarterback. I just feel like he's playing mind games.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Like McDaniels just feels like he's playing mind games right
- 22:05Speaker 1: now with us in the media and the other team.
- 22:08Speaker 1: It's gotta be Teddy, right. If Teddy comes back and
- 22:10Speaker 1: he's cleared, they can't just they wouldn't just start that
- 22:13Speaker 1: kid that really literally could not really do anything against
- 22:16Speaker 1: that Jets team last week. Um, that would be bizarre
- 22:19Speaker 1: to me. Again, we like the matchup. The Vikings have
- 22:22Speaker 1: done a lot of traveling. They just flow a way
- 22:24Speaker 1: back for England, came home, played a game, They're flying
- 22:27Speaker 1: down to Florida. They'd be like, we're talking about that,
- 22:29Speaker 1: but in the sun for this game. A lot of
- 22:31Speaker 1: things where we just like Miami. So I'm kind of
- 22:33Speaker 1: with you. Chad, I'll blindly bet this at the number.
- 22:36Speaker 1: I'll get it whenever it gets to four through whoever
- 22:38Speaker 1: the quarterback is, I just don't know. It's doing of
- 22:41Speaker 1: my five biggest bets this week because it's just I
- 22:43Speaker 1: don't know, really had to model out this quarterback that
- 22:46Speaker 1: I really have no numbers on. Um. It's just it's
- 22:49Speaker 1: kind of the tallest up situation here. I will look.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I will remind everybody that right now the only game
- 22:54Speaker 1: we love, despite you didn't show many enthusiasm for it
- 22:58Speaker 1: because you just feel sad for Joe Burrow I do
- 23:01Speaker 1: it is the Saints plus two again we love right
- 23:05Speaker 1: now again. They talked about that there's a lot that
- 23:11Speaker 1: I've got. I've got a list of six, I've got
- 23:15Speaker 1: a list of six teens, seven that we haven't talked
- 23:20Speaker 1: about yet that we'll get to. But these were like
- 23:22Speaker 1: when we talked on Tuesday, I'm going on the list
- 23:25Speaker 1: of the games that we loved the most. And this
- 23:27Speaker 1: is interesting just how things evolve over the course of
- 23:30Speaker 1: the week. So the other one, Eagles minus four and
- 23:33Speaker 1: a half. We talked about it. It's now up to
- 23:35Speaker 1: six in some places. We both bet it. Eagles minus
- 23:38Speaker 1: four and a half. Um. Look, I'm just not a
- 23:41Speaker 1: buyer on the Cowboys. They have an amazing defense, but
- 23:45Speaker 1: they've beat up during this Cooper Rush rush. They've beat
- 23:50Speaker 1: up on a Washington A line that stinks, a Cincinnati
- 23:54Speaker 1: O line that stinks, a rams O line that stinks. Okay,
- 24:00Speaker 1: that doesn't impress me. Against the Ramps, they had fewer
- 24:05Speaker 1: first downs, they had more penalties, They average few yards
- 24:09Speaker 1: per play, They had multiple fumbles, they recovered. Cooper Rush
- 24:13Speaker 1: completed ten passes. Tony Pollard had a touchdown for fifty
- 24:17Speaker 1: seven yards, they had a fumble recovery for a touchdown,
- 24:21Speaker 1: and they blocked a punt that they converted into a
- 24:23Speaker 1: field goal. Like, this is not a dominant team in
- 24:26Speaker 1: any way. The Eagles kind of are a dominant team.
- 24:29Speaker 1: So I see why the numbers moved from four and
- 24:31Speaker 1: a half and higher. I think in the context if
- 24:34Speaker 1: we got to play a midweek number of six or
- 24:36Speaker 1: six and a half, it makes me a little bit
- 24:38Speaker 1: more nervous. But I still think the Eagles win this
- 24:41Speaker 1: game pretty handily. Yeah, and again it was no. I
- 24:44Speaker 1: was not surprised at all to hear that a bunch
- 24:45Speaker 1: of professional groups took a position on the Eagles that
- 24:47Speaker 1: that was just a really good number of four and
- 24:49Speaker 1: a half. My biggest reason I didn't really move on
- 24:51Speaker 1: it was just this Eagles team in the second half.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I just it's real like them struggling in the second half.
- 24:57Speaker 1: It's been five weeks. Every single game they've done it,
- 25:00Speaker 1: like they led teams back into these matchups and it's
- 25:03Speaker 1: it's definitely an issue. So four and a half I
- 25:05Speaker 1: love it, Like I feel like you just talked about
- 25:07Speaker 1: six six and a half. You definitely need to think,
- 25:10Speaker 1: is there is there value still on this number? Um,
- 25:12Speaker 1: I would still bet it, obviously, I still like it,
- 25:14Speaker 1: but I was gonna make one of my bigger bets
- 25:16Speaker 1: to speak of four and a half. I missed that.
- 25:18Speaker 1: So I still love the Eagles, still take a position
- 25:21Speaker 1: on them. Don't mind taking the contest either. Even if
- 25:23Speaker 1: it's six we could talk about. I wouldn't hate it. Um,
- 25:27Speaker 1: it's just it's just unluckily the fact that you know
- 25:32Speaker 1: the Cowboys usually their public darlings, I thought the public
- 25:36Speaker 1: would be all over them in this position against this
- 25:38Speaker 1: Eagles team that had such a bad game last week
- 25:40Speaker 1: against Arizona. So it's interesting what you just talked about.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at our site. A lot of the
- 25:44Speaker 1: money late has come in heavy on this Eagles team,
- 25:47Speaker 1: so they're looking like the public side right now. Saints
- 25:50Speaker 1: plus two love it. Let's talk about the Steelers plus
- 25:55Speaker 1: eight and a half because could it be? What would be?
- 26:02Speaker 1: Is it our big balls better the week? I'll do it,
- 26:08Speaker 1: but I'm gonna put it all on you. If you
- 26:10Speaker 1: if you if you want me like I stood last
- 26:12Speaker 1: week with the Jets in my heart, if you want
- 26:13Speaker 1: to stay with the Steelers in your heart, I'll do
- 26:16Speaker 1: the big balls. I'm gonna bet them. I just I
- 26:19Speaker 1: can't find any logical reason other than the fact that
- 26:22Speaker 1: who the hell are the Bucks to be getting in
- 26:24Speaker 1: the half against anybody? They just they're just not right
- 26:27Speaker 1: right now. Um, But I'll give it to you, Chack.
- 26:31Speaker 1: You've got some big balls. Making it your big balls
- 26:33Speaker 1: bet because I just this. This Steeler's team looks absolutely
- 26:36Speaker 1: broken right now in this spot. Historically, forget about, you know,
- 26:41Speaker 1: using the Action Network Action Labs database going back twenty
- 26:48Speaker 1: something years, millions of data points, teams in this spot,
- 26:53Speaker 1: they get blown out. They're heavy underdogs, and they're getting
- 27:00Speaker 1: fewer than thirty of the bets they covered a rate
- 27:06Speaker 1: historically right. Want to narrow it down even further, week
- 27:11Speaker 1: six dogs off a loss of seven or more covering
- 27:15Speaker 1: a week six dogs below against the spread since two
- 27:20Speaker 1: thousand five covering. I get it, like it's a bylow spot.
- 27:25Speaker 1: I'm a little and you just have to make like
- 27:27Speaker 1: you're just pretty. That's that's what makes it, the big
- 27:30Speaker 1: balls better the leak it is. It is by definition
- 27:34Speaker 1: we have to do. You gotta hold your nose, You've
- 27:36Speaker 1: gotta buy load, you gotta sack up. You gotta bet
- 27:39Speaker 1: the Steelers a plus eight and a half? Like do
- 27:41Speaker 1: you think this takes more balls? Do you think taking
- 27:43Speaker 1: the Panthers with a new head coach and a no
- 27:47Speaker 1: name at quarterback takes bigger balls? I just think that
- 27:49Speaker 1: was the other one I was thinking for our big balls,
- 27:51Speaker 1: But like, I just think that it takes much bigger
- 27:57Speaker 1: balls to bet a team that looks as bad as
- 27:58Speaker 1: the Dealers do to the Panthers at like what is
- 28:02Speaker 1: it plus ten right now? To take them against a
- 28:05Speaker 1: team that nobody has a lot of faith in in
- 28:08Speaker 1: the rams, that has looked really bad. Everybody's going to
- 28:11Speaker 1: be on the panthers. That doesn't take balls. I didn't split,
- 28:15Speaker 1: but that's fair. Takes balls to bet that it is.
- 28:20Speaker 1: And I won't take any of your glory if it hits.
- 28:22Speaker 1: This is This is because I am betting, But this
- 28:24Speaker 1: is truly Chad's moment. You're taking him as big balls,
- 28:26Speaker 1: but this is one where your runner goes man, whoever,
- 28:29Speaker 1: whoever you were talking to about that one. That guy,
- 28:34Speaker 1: he's got serious, serious courage, not at all. They would
- 28:38Speaker 1: all love that bet. That's a bet a bunch of
- 28:39Speaker 1: us are probably gonna make this week. I'm just saying
- 28:41Speaker 1: it's just one of those where it's like I got nothing.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Chad's exactly right, though, this is the spot play. This
- 28:46Speaker 1: is a trend play. The numbers back up to like
- 28:48Speaker 1: my numbers say, you're getting a good number here, but
- 28:51Speaker 1: it's like I have zero faith of going to the
- 28:54Speaker 1: window of this one, Like I got no faith going.
- 28:56Speaker 1: So what you're saying is you definitely do not want
- 28:58Speaker 1: to put this in the contest. Yeah, yeah, I again Sunday,
- 29:03Speaker 1: weird happens. I I don't sleep, so through the night
- 29:06Speaker 1: it could pop in my head. I can visualize it
- 29:08Speaker 1: and see it and be like you know what Chad
- 29:09Speaker 1: spot on. We'll throw it in there. But as we
- 29:11Speaker 1: sit here on Thursday morning, no, no way, all right,
- 29:15Speaker 1: how about Seattle Seahawks plus three? Here we go. That's
- 29:20Speaker 1: what I've been waiting on. Love Seattle settle. Yeah, I
- 29:23Speaker 1: love the matchup of the Seattle offense. I think Gino
- 29:28Speaker 1: is what number three and number four right now in
- 29:30Speaker 1: the league in q QBR rating and a bunch of
- 29:33Speaker 1: other past metrics. The guys on a roll there, his
- 29:37Speaker 1: outside weapons, DK metcalf locket healthy going up against the
- 29:40Speaker 1: secondary of the Cardinals that has been absolutely terrible. They
- 29:43Speaker 1: give up the thirtieth most receiving yards right now. That's
- 29:47Speaker 1: a bad spot for this Cardinals seem to be put in.
- 29:50Speaker 1: And yeah, no shock. The public is coming heavy on
- 29:54Speaker 1: the Cardinals just because there there are on paper a
- 29:57Speaker 1: better team than the Seattle team. But I still think
- 30:02Speaker 1: they're just being under a cl team again, a home dog,
- 30:04Speaker 1: divisional dog. In this position. The books might be sucking
- 30:08Speaker 1: me and chat in We'll pay for it because this
- 30:10Speaker 1: this is usually really good to us taking this number
- 30:12Speaker 1: in this position. I'm happy to take Seattle on this spot,
- 30:15Speaker 1: especially coming off such a brutal non cover last week
- 30:17Speaker 1: when they should have covered, because we're getting a little
- 30:19Speaker 1: bit of value with just the fact that people lost
- 30:21Speaker 1: money on them last week. It doesn't make any sense
- 30:24Speaker 1: to me that Arizona is and this this line is
- 30:27Speaker 1: down to based off last year though there they made
- 30:29Speaker 1: the playoffs at their win total. Yeah, the line, the
- 30:34Speaker 1: line is down to two and a half. By the way,
- 30:35Speaker 1: it's no longer at three. Still take that two and
- 30:38Speaker 1: a half. I agree, Like, it doesn't make any sense
- 30:41Speaker 1: to me. You've got a better coach and Pete Carroll
- 30:44Speaker 1: right now, as you said, a better quarterback in Geno Smith,
- 30:48Speaker 1: better weapons on the edges, a better offensive line, a
- 30:53Speaker 1: more explosive passing offense, the second most explosive passing offense,
- 30:57Speaker 1: the most explosive passing on it might be number one
- 31:00Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the second worst defense in defending
- 31:05Speaker 1: explosive past plays in Arizona. Um. Again, if we're playing
- 31:11Speaker 1: the blind game, you've got a short home dog in
- 31:15Speaker 1: a division game, you're gonna be Seattle yep. And again,
- 31:19Speaker 1: it's just there's a bunch of these bets this week.
- 31:21Speaker 1: I just felt like I didn't have a choice. That's
- 31:22Speaker 1: just automatically you just saw the number. It's like, well,
- 31:25Speaker 1: I already know inside I'm gonna be on and then
- 31:27Speaker 1: the numbers and the trends back it up and again
- 31:30Speaker 1: all the time. That's how you build out these things.
- 31:31Speaker 1: You just don't go off one thing. You're looking for
- 31:33Speaker 1: all of it connected. And that's definitely one of these
- 31:36Speaker 1: spots where Seattle I would love to fade them, um
- 31:40Speaker 1: because it's just been insane how good Gino has been.
- 31:43Speaker 1: But maybe Gino with the right pieces around him, this
- 31:45Speaker 1: is who he is. He's not that quarterback we saw
- 31:47Speaker 1: with the New York Chets. You know what he's amazing at.
- 31:49Speaker 1: He is so good at stepping up into the pocket,
- 31:55Speaker 1: towing the line of scrimmage, keeping his eyes down field,
- 31:58Speaker 1: and finding a guy who's just raised beyond all the coverage.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And he's using all of it like he's been using
- 32:06Speaker 1: Will Disley is tight end and the DK Metcalf aspect
- 32:10Speaker 1: of it, where if he's in any type of trouble
- 32:12Speaker 1: and you know what, he needs to just get rid
- 32:13Speaker 1: of it on a third down. He's doing something I
- 32:15Speaker 1: wish all quarterbacks would do. If you have a big receiver,
- 32:18Speaker 1: just throw it to your guy up in the air,
- 32:20Speaker 1: he'll either get the ball or he'll bat it down
- 32:22Speaker 1: for you. Like that's just that's just that's something I'll
- 32:24Speaker 1: never get with these big receivers. Just like, just put
- 32:26Speaker 1: your guy in the position to win. And DK has
- 32:28Speaker 1: been winning for him, and like that's that's the crazy
- 32:30Speaker 1: part by the Seattle team. As much as we praise Russ,
- 32:34Speaker 1: it's like he actually make pretty good weapons around him
- 32:36Speaker 1: up there in Seattle. It wasn't just all about Russell
- 32:38Speaker 1: Wilson these last couple of years. Alright, So, uh, we
- 32:42Speaker 1: like Seattle. We like New Orleans as always. Uh, like
- 32:47Speaker 1: the Eagles had a good number. We like the Eagles
- 32:49Speaker 1: that a good number. We still like Atlanta. But I'm
- 32:52Speaker 1: going to bring up a couple more teams. And if
- 32:54Speaker 1: I don't bring up the guy at the games that
- 32:55Speaker 1: you've liked in the last forty eight hours, Uh, are
- 33:00Speaker 1: we liking the Jets against the Packers plus seven? Yes?
- 33:05Speaker 1: And still look like I'm at seven, like seven and
- 33:07Speaker 1: a half. I mean everyone in the world that's like
- 33:10Speaker 1: the you know, the guy that likes to get the
- 33:12Speaker 1: clicks and the likes on social media is like, did
- 33:13Speaker 1: you know the Green Bay after a loss is ten
- 33:16Speaker 1: and oh straight up and TENN S A T S
- 33:18Speaker 1: Like I get it. La Fleur bounces back after all
- 33:21Speaker 1: these losses. Let's go through this year. They only had
- 33:24Speaker 1: one loss the finally week that played against the Bears.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Remember what happened in that game, Chad pretty sure fields
- 33:30Speaker 1: scored and they would have covered in that game. So
- 33:33Speaker 1: I just have a worry now with this green Bay offense.
- 33:35Speaker 1: I just don't think it consistent enough to be favored
- 33:37Speaker 1: by this many points. On the flip side, I like
- 33:40Speaker 1: what the Jets have done, like they they they drafted,
- 33:42Speaker 1: well we already talked about I didn't see these kids
- 33:45Speaker 1: impacting this early. Sauce Gardner might be a top five
- 33:48Speaker 1: corner right now. The guy is legit a shut down corner. Again.
- 33:52Speaker 1: You can say it's not a big deal because they
- 33:54Speaker 1: don't have any receivers anyway on green Bay. It is
- 33:56Speaker 1: though they can just turn them. And there's actly what
- 33:58Speaker 1: Green Bay doesn't want to be, which is one dimensional.
- 34:00Speaker 1: They're just you have to run the ball. That's gonna
- 34:02Speaker 1: be easier to prep for. Weip. On the off sensive side,
- 34:06Speaker 1: they have a nice two head of running backs right now.
- 34:07Speaker 1: They got Carter, they got the rookie Bryce that they drafted.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Um Again, Hal Holding look good the first couple of weeks.
- 34:14Speaker 1: If you look at his numbers. Now, this rookie running
- 34:16Speaker 1: back for the Jets, he's improved every single week. And
- 34:18Speaker 1: that's something we're looking for as this season goes along.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Which guys aren't gonna be shook by the league? Which
- 34:23Speaker 1: ones are gonna keep improving. That's big for this Jets team.
- 34:25Speaker 1: They need on identity. So again it's scary back in
- 34:30Speaker 1: his Zach Wilson. But at seven and a half, it's
- 34:32Speaker 1: still out there. That's seven and a half. Let's grab it.
- 34:36Speaker 1: You gotta grab it against the Green Bay team that's
- 34:37Speaker 1: just struggled this year. They the only team they really
- 34:39Speaker 1: dominated put away was the Bears, and we just touched
- 34:41Speaker 1: on it. The Bear is probably showingly lost by seven points.
- 34:44Speaker 1: So I think you're goetta good number of this Jets team.
- 34:46Speaker 1: It's gonna be a public dog, but come on it. Yeah,
- 34:51Speaker 1: I think that we need to as the pre eminent
- 34:54Speaker 1: sports betting podcast in the world. You and I need
- 35:00Speaker 1: to make a rule un sample size, like, because there
- 35:05Speaker 1: are so many Yahoo's out there now who are claiming
- 35:08Speaker 1: to be sports betting experts. We're getting Matt Lafloor tenant
- 35:13Speaker 1: oh in his career, or we're getting you know, the
- 35:16Speaker 1: Packers have done this historically. Like that's all fucking bullshit.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Give me a sample size that is at least a
- 35:24Speaker 1: hundred games. Give me a sample size that shows consistency
- 35:28Speaker 1: during the modern era of football. Don't give me sample
- 35:31Speaker 1: sizes that include what the Packers have done in fifty years,
- 35:35Speaker 1: or what have happened what has happened in a single
- 35:38Speaker 1: season with a single player, Like it's just not big enough.
- 35:42Speaker 1: The variance is too high, there's no consistency to those trends. Like,
- 35:45Speaker 1: let's just be smart about it. We're not giving you
- 35:48Speaker 1: bullshit sample sizes on the favorites. I mean I will
- 35:51Speaker 1: if anyone gets has a good sample on its small
- 35:54Speaker 1: but it's winning, send it my way. I'm not like Chat.
- 35:56Speaker 1: I'll never shoot you away. I just want winners. I'm
- 35:59Speaker 1: a fucking pure You are, okay? Uh? Do we like
- 36:04Speaker 1: the Jets enough at seven and a half to put
- 36:06Speaker 1: them in the contest? I would? Again? Who knows what
- 36:09Speaker 1: can change? Again? I think I would too. If I
- 36:11Speaker 1: wake up Sunday morning and it's like nine even some
- 36:14Speaker 1: of the bets and ninety percent of the tickets around
- 36:15Speaker 1: the Jets and it's still sitting there at seven and
- 36:17Speaker 1: a half. Yes, people, there's no way Mitchell having our contest.
- 36:20Speaker 1: But if it's come down a little bit like again,
- 36:23Speaker 1: what I'm hoping to see, which means professional money is
- 36:25Speaker 1: coming on the Jets. That's that's what I'm looking for here,
- 36:28Speaker 1: because right now I haven't heard that many pros and
- 36:30Speaker 1: the Jets it feels like they got their money last
- 36:32Speaker 1: two weeks and they're just gonna sit this one out
- 36:34Speaker 1: where I think there's still value on fate in the
- 36:36Speaker 1: Screen Bay team. I'm so nervous about it. I have
- 36:41Speaker 1: my sports book app open right now here in the
- 36:43Speaker 1: state of Connecticut where it's legal, and I see the
- 36:47Speaker 1: seven and a half and I I'm having a hard
- 36:50Speaker 1: time pulling the trigger. This is the moment of truth
- 36:52Speaker 1: and I actually can't you know what, I can't do
- 36:54Speaker 1: it right now. That's how I feel every week I
- 36:59Speaker 1: bet them the Jets. That's just that feeling of the
- 37:00Speaker 1: betting legig. It's I'm so uncomfortable doing it right now.
- 37:06Speaker 1: But we'll leave it in the contest for now. Um Uh.
- 37:10Speaker 1: The other game I think we got to talk about
- 37:12Speaker 1: is the Jags against the Yeah, I loved it. We're
- 37:17Speaker 1: hoping to get the three. We both betted it two
- 37:19Speaker 1: and a half. Again. I was gonna really lay in
- 37:21Speaker 1: big money on this one if they got the three
- 37:24Speaker 1: and never did. Once again, the pros came in back
- 37:27Speaker 1: down to two, back down to one and a half
- 37:28Speaker 1: at some books, no surprise. It's just this. This is
- 37:33Speaker 1: definition of a pick um game. The Jaguars and the
- 37:35Speaker 1: more talented team, what they do well on defense is
- 37:38Speaker 1: exactly what the Colts want to do on offense. The
- 37:40Speaker 1: Colts want to run the ball. Guess what. The Jags
- 37:42Speaker 1: are one of the best run defenses on football this year,
- 37:44Speaker 1: So bam, we just turned them into one dimensional Matt
- 37:47Speaker 1: Ryan needs to be stepping back passing. That's what you want. Again.
- 37:52Speaker 1: The Colds team, they might someone make the playoffs this
- 37:54Speaker 1: year because, like, I don't know how they're to two
- 37:56Speaker 1: and one. It's one of the more insane things that's
- 37:59Speaker 1: happened season, other than the Giants being four and one. Um,
- 38:03Speaker 1: I maybe I'm getting blind, like Chad said, maybe we're
- 38:07Speaker 1: blind to our Jaguars love. But I know a lot
- 38:10Speaker 1: of pros I love this number. I love the right
- 38:13Speaker 1: when it came out too. With the Jaguars team that
- 38:15Speaker 1: just played terrible last week, should have covered against the Eagles,
- 38:19Speaker 1: they didn't write, they had four turnovers. So I do
- 38:23Speaker 1: think we're getting a nice by low position here. And
- 38:24Speaker 1: the fact that people are betting the Colts just because
- 38:27Speaker 1: they won last week and they think they're a better
- 38:29Speaker 1: team than the Jaguars is just again that's just the
- 38:32Speaker 1: public not really knowing what they're betting on. So I
- 38:35Speaker 1: do think we're getting a good number. An automatic playing
- 38:37Speaker 1: the contest will be the Jaguars. Yea as usual, Simon.
- 38:42Speaker 1: As it comes down to it, we're betting on uh,
- 38:46Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Zack Wilson, you know Smith. We're betting on
- 38:53Speaker 1: the Saints. We don't know who the fund is playing
- 38:54Speaker 1: quarterback there um and uh we like it Land. Uh.
- 39:01Speaker 1: We got four that we feel relatively good about. Five
- 39:04Speaker 1: we feel relatively good about. Uh. I got one more game.
- 39:08Speaker 1: I want to bring up, as I said, the listen
- 39:10Speaker 1: names you just read off. That's the list of names
- 39:12Speaker 1: you read when someone for the season that contest, right,
- 39:16Speaker 1: That's how we've been winning. Just areek quarterbacks. So one
- 39:18Speaker 1: more game I want to bring up, and then I
- 39:21Speaker 1: do want to talk about the Bills in the chiefs
- 39:23Speaker 1: uh Denver Broncos five and a half at the Chargers.
- 39:27Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't bet the Broncos here?
- 39:29Speaker 1: Do we put it in the contest? I don't know,
- 39:31Speaker 1: But the Chargers are not that good of a team
- 39:33Speaker 1: and they're getting the benefit of the doubt if everyone
- 39:36Speaker 1: loves their roster. Everyone was high on them before the season.
- 39:39Speaker 1: The Broncos just consistently playing terribly. But you've got two
- 39:43Speaker 1: coaches that you can't count on, and you got about
- 39:46Speaker 1: two points two and a half points of value to me.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Um in this game, I feel like you have to
- 39:51Speaker 1: bet the Broncos. Yeah. I mean, I'm way offer. I
- 39:54Speaker 1: made it a way bigger number. Just because Russell Wilson
- 39:56Speaker 1: got that surgery this past week. I just can't let
- 39:58Speaker 1: that be a no big deal, Like that's a big deal.
- 40:01Speaker 1: It's a surgery and he's gonna turn around and play
- 40:04Speaker 1: a game seven days later. Um, we saw how a
- 40:08Speaker 1: major injury affected Herbert right. He did not look right
- 40:10Speaker 1: until a couple of weeks after that injury. It's these
- 40:13Speaker 1: guys are human like as much as much crap they
- 40:15Speaker 1: want to shoot him up with. That's that's real pain.
- 40:17Speaker 1: So I got no position on it. I told you
- 40:20Speaker 1: a bunch of guys in the same view as you
- 40:21Speaker 1: chat they said, who the hell are the Chargers were
- 40:23Speaker 1: getting this many points against the divisional foe. Um, no, no,
- 40:28Speaker 1: no read for me on this one. Like I I
- 40:30Speaker 1: wanted to bet the Chargers, I'd like to charge it
- 40:32Speaker 1: in a simple fact that this Broncos team is kind
- 40:34Speaker 1: of real in here. But like you just said, it's
- 40:38Speaker 1: it's a hard person to doing right. I really want
- 40:40Speaker 1: to take a home favorite, home divisional favorite on a
- 40:42Speaker 1: money night game or all the money and all the
- 40:44Speaker 1: tickets are coming in on the Chargers. It's just not
- 40:47Speaker 1: gonna be a winning side usually for me. But um,
- 40:49Speaker 1: we'll be split on that one. Chat. You can take
- 40:51Speaker 1: your Broncos. I'll fade them. Um another week, I'll let
- 40:56Speaker 1: rust see if you can finally look right. Because as
- 40:59Speaker 1: much as people want to blame the surgery, he missed
- 41:02Speaker 1: a wide open guy on that slant route to win
- 41:04Speaker 1: the game against the Colts last week. That had nothing
- 41:07Speaker 1: to do with his shoulder. That was all mental and
- 41:09Speaker 1: that's my issue. With him right now. He just seems
- 41:11Speaker 1: like he's mentally broken as well. Aren't we all a
- 41:15Speaker 1: little bit mentally broken? Sign Now this is me flying
- 41:19Speaker 1: high Philly's one on one in the series Eagles five
- 41:23Speaker 1: and now, I mean life is good. Uh, last game
- 41:26Speaker 1: to talk about and then we still we've we've nailed
- 41:29Speaker 1: our big ball. So we gotta do a money line
- 41:30Speaker 1: underdog parlay, which there could be many this week because
- 41:33Speaker 1: we like so many dogs. Um uh, Chiefs Bills. It's
- 41:40Speaker 1: another game. I don't have a strong opinion on it.
- 41:42Speaker 1: I might not even better until we get to the game.
- 41:46Speaker 1: I took it as soon as the three pots, I
- 41:47Speaker 1: took it, but again, Books Limited didn't get anything crazy
- 41:51Speaker 1: now maybe five figures. It's like I was, I was
- 41:54Speaker 1: hoping there was gonna stay up there for a minute
- 41:56Speaker 1: as she was. I took a little taste and a
- 41:58Speaker 1: couple of different books. It was even like, I don't know,
- 42:01Speaker 1: two hours, the line was back on the two and
- 42:03Speaker 1: a half. They know what they have here, the books.
- 42:05Speaker 1: The public is gonna be all over the Chiefs again,
- 42:08Speaker 1: I said every time every time the Pros went six
- 42:11Speaker 1: pernot the time four parsent, the time the public wins.
- 42:13Speaker 1: That's my horror support. I'm trying to do a balance
- 42:15Speaker 1: act here. I can't always blindly fade the public. I
- 42:20Speaker 1: gotta take it like I just I look at this line.
- 42:23Speaker 1: It's just like the Chiefs. Mahomes is seven oh one
- 42:26Speaker 1: as a as a dog. He's never been a home
- 42:29Speaker 1: dog in his entire career. Again, all these, all these reasons,
- 42:33Speaker 1: this is why pros like the Bills. Here. They're like,
- 42:35Speaker 1: you think the books are just giving you free money. Here,
- 42:37Speaker 1: I know they're not, but it's kind of my Homes
- 42:39Speaker 1: of the unicorn, like the guy breaks a lot of
- 42:41Speaker 1: these rules. Um, I don't know what to do with
- 42:44Speaker 1: other than the fact that I again I believe the
- 42:47Speaker 1: Bills are the number two best team in the n
- 42:50Speaker 1: f C. I've had a coming to the year and
- 42:52Speaker 1: all off season I had the Chiefs rated as my
- 42:54Speaker 1: number one team, and even when they lost are kill,
- 42:57Speaker 1: I still did. It's the simple fact that it's my
- 43:00Speaker 1: Homes has had the number against Josh Allen. I know
- 43:03Speaker 1: Josh Allen got the best of them last year and
- 43:05Speaker 1: then we saw what happened, like the playoffs came around.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Wherever the ball lasts, that's who one It's just these
- 43:10Speaker 1: guys are very evenly matched. I'm getting dog points at home.
- 43:15Speaker 1: We now how hard is to play the Arrowhead. I
- 43:17Speaker 1: can't not take the Chiefs. I just like Chad said,
- 43:20Speaker 1: I don't know if I can put him in our
- 43:21Speaker 1: contest because it's like scary as hell going against Josh Allen.
- 43:25Speaker 1: It's it's one of the worst feelings in Miami game.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Took a year off my life, like them and how
- 43:30Speaker 1: all the thing about the things you need to have
- 43:31Speaker 1: for us to cover and win that number against Miami
- 43:33Speaker 1: against the Bills, like all that stuff you need to
- 43:36Speaker 1: beat Josh Allen. It's just one of those games. Everyone's
- 43:38Speaker 1: gonna bet on it, everyone's gonna take a side. We're
- 43:41Speaker 1: all gonna kind of washing it with one eyes closed
- 43:43Speaker 1: because it's just so painful going against my Homes or
- 43:45Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They're just they're simply the best. So no
- 43:48Speaker 1: player on the Panthers you don't even want to put
- 43:50Speaker 1: that one in think about putting it in, No, because
- 43:52Speaker 1: I think the Rams are gonna kill him. The Rams
- 43:54Speaker 1: are fucking bad there, all right, you know what, and
- 43:58Speaker 1: you love the Panthers coming in. The Panthers are literally
- 44:00Speaker 1: it's as if they had two pound tumors on their body.
- 44:03Speaker 1: The coach and the quarterback. They cut it off. But
- 44:06Speaker 1: against a Rams team that I don't know if you
- 44:07Speaker 1: saw the injury report, Cooper Cup bad ankle, Aaron Donald
- 44:12Speaker 1: bad ankle, that's huge, Like that's it's say they got
- 44:15Speaker 1: four All Stars on their team. That's two of them
- 44:17Speaker 1: right there. So just anyone listening, that's something a monitor
- 44:21Speaker 1: to me, like, that's a game on Sunday. I don't
- 44:23Speaker 1: want people to be shocked at me. And Chad had
- 44:25Speaker 1: the Panthers in there. If Cooper's out, automatic play, I
- 44:29Speaker 1: don't care who they They can have a freaking trash
- 44:31Speaker 1: can literally playing quarterback Carolina, I'll play. It's just whatever
- 44:36Speaker 1: to me. Was soon as you take away the only
- 44:37Speaker 1: guy that's working right now for the Rams, that's gotta
- 44:40Speaker 1: been auto play. But I'm with you, chat like this
- 44:42Speaker 1: spot play wise should be the Rams. But funk man,
- 44:45Speaker 1: they got a lot of issues, all right, So we'll
- 44:48Speaker 1: talk about that one on Sunday. Reminder, you can follow
- 44:51Speaker 1: the pics that we uh that we play in the
- 44:53Speaker 1: Action Network app. It's for you. It's a word winning
- 44:55Speaker 1: download it now follow the phase five. You can follow
- 44:58Speaker 1: the Favorites podcast for our foxhold which is Saints plus two,
- 45:02Speaker 1: where Simon says, which is Atlanta plus five and a half.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Our exact decision with this which is Cleveland minus three?
- 45:07Speaker 1: Are big balls better the week which is Steelers plus
- 45:10Speaker 1: eight and a half? Survivor. We decided on Rams on Tuesday. Yeah,
- 45:18Speaker 1: maybe we want or Bucks And I got another one
- 45:22Speaker 1: from the third in there, Lamar Jackson twelve and oh
- 45:25Speaker 1: career against the NFC. If you still got the Ravens,
- 45:29Speaker 1: you want to use them here, don't hate it all right?
- 45:31Speaker 1: Rams Bucks are Ravens for Survivor. Before we go, we
- 45:35Speaker 1: gotta do the money line Underdog parlay. And because we
- 45:38Speaker 1: respect our new listeners who are listening live on AMP,
- 45:41Speaker 1: someone actually had a question for us about Tennessee, Alabama
- 45:44Speaker 1: this weekend, and so we're weighing on that at the end. First, Simon,
- 45:49Speaker 1: give us a money line underdog parlay. Dog your dog,
- 45:57Speaker 1: your dog blocks dog? First one, no brainer. Everyone knew
- 46:03Speaker 1: you would take a Dolphins against the Vikings. Who who
- 46:05Speaker 1: the hell of the Dolphins. I don't care if it's
- 46:07Speaker 1: a third train or Teddy. If I don't play the
- 46:09Speaker 1: number I'm definitely playing the money line, just because this
- 46:12Speaker 1: is such a bad spot for a foreign one Vikings
- 46:14Speaker 1: team that's a little fraudulent. So I'll take that one
- 46:17Speaker 1: of the money line, one of the Jaguars. There's no
- 46:19Speaker 1: value there anymore, so I'll just throw it away. Give
- 46:22Speaker 1: me the Jets, give me Atlanta, give me the Saints,
- 46:25Speaker 1: give me the Seahawks. To me, they're all good dogs.
- 46:28Speaker 1: The Chiefs. I really wanted to do it, I'm telling
- 46:31Speaker 1: you cha, I'm scared. I feel more comfortable taking the
- 46:33Speaker 1: three For some reason. I do taking the money line
- 46:36Speaker 1: because I can see this game coming down to a
- 46:37Speaker 1: field goal. But every other game I just see how
- 46:40Speaker 1: write winners like the Jets one, no one would be
- 46:43Speaker 1: shocked if they somehow beat the cream Bay anymore. Like
- 46:45Speaker 1: I would say this is crazy me two three weeks ago.
- 46:48Speaker 1: But now you just look on paper and it's just
- 46:49Speaker 1: like one team is completely going the other way. Um again,
- 46:53Speaker 1: years catch up to these teams. We see it all
- 46:55Speaker 1: the times. Teams can read rebuilding the drafts while the
- 46:57Speaker 1: other team goes the other way. It's a nice look
- 47:00Speaker 1: right now with um this Jets team. So I like it.
- 47:05Speaker 1: The only one that I'm scared about chat. I would say,
- 47:07Speaker 1: is my aim right? We've been a third stringer to
- 47:08Speaker 1: win out right, But it's just kind of all of
- 47:11Speaker 1: the averages the Vikings team. Does anyone think this team
- 47:14Speaker 1: is a twelve and five team? No, that they feel
- 47:17Speaker 1: more like a ten and seven, eleven and six kind
- 47:19Speaker 1: of teams. So we're gonna try to steal a couple
- 47:21Speaker 1: of wins from this Vikings teams. You go along here Miami,
- 47:25Speaker 1: the Jets, Atlanta, Saints, Seattle. It's weird to me that
- 47:29Speaker 1: you were only able to get barely get five figures down.
- 47:33Speaker 1: Not too much on the Chiefs at plus three I got.
- 47:36Speaker 1: I got mid five figures down because I told you
- 47:38Speaker 1: I haven't my unit size. Uh mid five figures on
- 47:41Speaker 1: the Saints A plus two before that never moved. But hey,
- 47:44Speaker 1: sometimes we're just playing different games, you know what I'm saying.
- 47:48Speaker 1: What's your take on Tennessee Alabama? Mr Simon Hunter, I
- 47:51Speaker 1: will tell you right now. Colin Wilson, who co hosts
- 47:54Speaker 1: the Big Bets on Campus podcast, everyone should listen to it.
- 47:57Speaker 1: UH with our friends Stucky. That's our college podcast. You
- 48:01Speaker 1: can watch Stuckey, Colin and uh Brett McMurphy on Saturday
- 48:07Speaker 1: Mornings Big Bets on campus college football preview show he likes,
- 48:10Speaker 1: and I forgot our Scooter row left, but I'll get
- 48:13Speaker 1: to that in a second. Kylin says, this is entirely
- 48:15Speaker 1: about Bryce Young and whether or not a players. If
- 48:17Speaker 1: he does, it's Bama. If he doesn't, it's the under
- 48:20Speaker 1: Tennessee can defend the rush, they can't defend good passing, Simon,
- 48:24Speaker 1: But you have a hot take on this. Yeah, it's
- 48:26Speaker 1: a no brainer pick. I feel like he should be.
- 48:28Speaker 1: He shouldn't even care who was a quarterback for Bama.
- 48:30Speaker 1: You just take Bammy here every time. If you got
- 48:33Speaker 1: Bama as a seven point favorite, right, and every one
- 48:36Speaker 1: of their grandma is coming in heavy on a number
- 48:38Speaker 1: that they're hanging without even know whe the quarterback is
- 48:40Speaker 1: gonna be, and then they bump it the minus seven
- 48:42Speaker 1: and a half for Bama. Come on, you just gotta
- 48:45Speaker 1: bet this every time. So I don't. I don't have
- 48:48Speaker 1: any type of trends or data backing up taking Bam
- 48:50Speaker 1: in the spot. I can tell you in my lifetime,
- 48:53Speaker 1: I always win taking Bama in this spot. I mean
- 48:55Speaker 1: just last year. Man, I forget if it was it
- 48:58Speaker 1: might be. It might have been the SEC championship game,
- 49:01Speaker 1: or it might have been. Yeah, I think it was.
- 49:03Speaker 1: It was it was Bama Georgia. Georgia was getting a
- 49:06Speaker 1: percent of the money, eight percent of the bets. Bama's
- 49:09Speaker 1: getting no love. I think Bama beat him by like twenty.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Like it's just in these positions you're getting Bama where
- 49:14Speaker 1: people are down on them, you're down on Nick Saban,
- 49:16Speaker 1: and that the percentage of all the money is coming
- 49:18Speaker 1: in a public dog. You just always take Bamma here.
- 49:21Speaker 1: So I knew a couple of guys already hit the
- 49:23Speaker 1: number at seven with Bama. They still like it at
- 49:26Speaker 1: seven and a half. Their their view of it is,
- 49:27Speaker 1: you take this up to ten and a half. I'm
- 49:29Speaker 1: not saying they think Tennessee or frauds, but that's just
- 49:33Speaker 1: kind of the word around the college world right now.
- 49:34Speaker 1: It's like it's Tennessee as good as they've looked, or
- 49:37Speaker 1: they've just had good matchups against teams that are just
- 49:39Speaker 1: not that good. Where we know Obama's there the cream
- 49:41Speaker 1: of the crop. You want to do a scooch. Let's
- 49:44Speaker 1: do some scooch roulette. When all hope is lost, all
- 49:48Speaker 1: that's left is relief. Well, let's play Scots Roulette. I
- 49:55Speaker 1: don't want to double dips, so I'll try to do
- 49:57Speaker 1: something we haven't done. Give me Seattle. I'll do a
- 50:01Speaker 1: beautiful home dog. I don't need the three. I'll take
- 50:03Speaker 1: the two and a half for Scooch. All right, I'll
- 50:05Speaker 1: take the Saints. I don't need the too. I'll take
- 50:07Speaker 1: the one and a half. And then someone knows mean Chad,
- 50:10Speaker 1: all the live listeners, we are going head to head tonight.
- 50:12Speaker 1: He's taken the Bears. I am on the Commanders. Yeah,
- 50:16Speaker 1: I am. I saw a whole report that like a
- 50:17Speaker 1: Wentz might have a torn like labor or something like that.
- 50:20Speaker 1: I love it. Give me the Commanders. This is this
- 50:23Speaker 1: is when you wanted Carson when he's hurt, because he'll
- 50:25Speaker 1: just hand the ball off. Hopefully Carson Wentz has a
- 50:27Speaker 1: torn labor. Logan Thomas out, Johan Dotson is out. I'm
- 50:31Speaker 1: a little nervous about this. For the live listeners, the
- 50:34Speaker 1: numbers moved from Bears minus one to Commanders minus one.
- 50:39Speaker 1: I worry that sharp money and yeah, and then my fandom,
- 50:44Speaker 1: like all the theories we have about betting the Steelers,
- 50:46Speaker 1: they also apply to the commanders. So um, I am
- 50:50Speaker 1: a little bit worried about it, but you know what,
- 50:52Speaker 1: I'll be watching it. And when I turned on the
- 50:54Speaker 1: lights for the video to record on Podcast Today, you
- 50:56Speaker 1: know what I was thinking. Fucking love football and I
- 51:00Speaker 1: wait for Thursday night football and I can't wait for
- 51:02Speaker 1: the Bears. And I don't care if it's as bad
- 51:03Speaker 1: as last week's game with the Broncos and whoever they played,
- 51:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch every second of it. Don't forget people,
- 51:09Speaker 1: I got live listeners unders when the total is thirty
- 51:12Speaker 1: eight or lower since two thousand seven on one toward
- 51:15Speaker 1: the under small sample. Chad love small samples, small sample,
- 51:20Speaker 1: small irrelevant sample. All right, this has been the favorite
- 51:25Speaker 1: podcast from the Volume podcast Network. I am Chad Mollman.
