  Speaker 1: sixty five, part of the Action Network. I am Chadmullman,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Chief Content Officer of the Action Network. We are continuing
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our divisional series preview today. We are talking NFC South
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to do it with my bff, my companion,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: my compadre professional letter Simon Hunter Ello Simeon.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Everyone loves the NFC South Chat. What a great show
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to have today.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So a couple couple of housekeeping things, and then I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: will tell you a funny story. Number one, big big
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: news everyone knows who listens to this show, and then
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: new listeners to the show will understand that the backbone
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for this show is during the season on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in addition to our foxhold bed, our big Balls bet
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of the Week, our executive decision our Simon says, the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: whole concentration and focuses the show is Simon and I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: debating the five best bets we like the most and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: coming to a consensus from his point of view and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: my point of view on which five bets we're going
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to put into the season long contest that we always
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: enter that is nationwide in which we can win a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: shit ton of money if we do well. We every
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: year we have done incredibly well, but every year everyone
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: else is doing incredibly well too. That's how competitive these
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: contests are. So we have finished in the money, but
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the last two years we finished with incredible records, just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: finished out of the money. We've always wanted to host
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a contest ourselves and let our listeners play along with us,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have a chance to win massive, massive prizing and compete
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: with me and Simon right, so you can see how
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you're doing against us in the process of this whole thing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So fortunately we will be having a contest this year.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: We will be hosting it ourselves. There will be big
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: money prizes we will be doing We will be doing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it in conjunction with our friends at Bet three sixty five,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: who are sponsors at the show. We're super pumped. More
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: details on that to come before we get to the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: beginning of the season, but we are thrilled that we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: get to host our own big money contest five games
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: every week season long. Plus there will be weekly contests
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that you can enter and win prizes for. If you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: end up falling off the season long contest. Early on Simon,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: look at what we're doing for our fans.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Look at us big time. We get bigger every year,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: more so than others.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know what, though, we're not so big that we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: can organize ourselves to pull off the Week one live show.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We have planned on new doing for Sunday, Sunday night
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of Week one we had talked about on the podcast.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: People have been hitting us up about it. We're rescheduling it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: scheduling conflicts. It just got really complicated for a variety
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of mundane reasons. Nothing exciting and dramatic, just scheduling issues.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So we will be rescheduling that for some time, probably
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: later September. October November is the range. As you know.

• 3:49
  Speaker 1: one eight hundred gambler. Look, I said, we're doing the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: NFC South. You said everyone's favorite conference. I can tell
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you right now. You know I've been taking notes on
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the podcast and doing all the recent search. Most of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: my notes when I've got this like a couple pages long,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it's hieroglyphics, like you can barely read the notes NFC South.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm barely filling a page. There is so little to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: say about this division. I've said this about the AFC South,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it rings even more true for the NFC South, most nondescript,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: most nondescript, least nationally recognized, least nationally relevant teams in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the NFL. It is regional to its core. Anybody out
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: outside of Carolina think about the Carolina Panthers. Anyone outside
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of Atlanta except for our very good friend Connor Powers
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: from our social team, think about the Atlanta Falcons. Does
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: anybody care about the Box if Tom Brady isn't planned
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: for the Box. The Saints, you could argue, are interesting
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to people, but I think they were only interesting when
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: they had Sean Payton, who's one of the coolest guys
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and Drew Brees, who was so consistently great.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: The only reason to pay attention to these teams, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to listen to this podcast is because there are betting opportunities.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It's fair to say, Simon, Yeah, I love the South divisions.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I love the AFC South, I love the NFC South.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: There's just the general public has Chad's mindset. They're just
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: this is uh. They hate their color schemes and they
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: just think these teams are boring. I love these teams.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: They's just always value on them during the season.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It's true, It's totally true. Nobody could pick out a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody in Europe can pick out a Carolina Panthers logo,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: but they can pick out a Green Bay Packer's logo.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: They can pick out a Chicago Bear's logo. I would
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: argue people in Tennessee can't pick out a Panther's logo
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: or whatever. We're going to bet on them because they're
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. They got Bryce Young, who was the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: first overall pick. I don't agree with it. I would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have taken C. J. Stroud. You might have taken C. J.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Stroud or Anthony Richardson. But whatever, here we are, let
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: me run down the rundown here, little insane plus one twenty.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Why are you laughing?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You're just funny man.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: You know, the other day you just called you called
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: me a douche, said you said.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: A little a little bit of a douche, a little bit.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Of a douche. And I think a buddy texted me,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: he goes, dude, takes a douche to know a douche,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: which I think is what you fact. Could that be
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: why you and I get along so well?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: We're definitely we definitely haven't know what all douche in us.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Chad that, there's no doubt about that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I think you're probably a more empathetic, sensitive, selfless person
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: than I am.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Is that really that hard? Though?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you line me up and I can't help myself.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: It's just too good, by the way, Good for you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for taking the opportunity. You know, It's funny because I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: was thinking, like only people who really know me know
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that when I was in college. When I was in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: college and I first started dating my wife, and she
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: would visit me, she was going to Michigan, I was
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: going to Indiana our senior year, and she would meet
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: my friends and they would One of my friends said
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to her, these are guys I had lived with for
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: four years at this point, they're like, you know, everyone
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: thinks Chad like he's happy and he's enthusiastic and he's smiling.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: You know, he's the most underrated dick on campus. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're calling me out for that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in some ways, that's fine.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: That's fine. We're going to talk about the NFC South
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints plus one, twenty, Atlanta Falcons plus two twenty,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Carolina plus four hundred, Tampa Bay plus seven hundred. Let's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: start from the bottom up. Okay, So Tampa Bay plus
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: seven hundred, six and a half is the win total.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: That plus one ten for the over, minus one forty
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: for the under. A dreadful, dreadful team. We don't know
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: who the quarterback is going to be. Their defensive line
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: used to be the strength of their team, ranked in
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the bottom ten by Pro Football Focus. I don't know, man.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They got They got the tenth hardest schedule in the NFL.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The winner the under is plus is minus one forty.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a real shame. They'll have a quarterback.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: If only Tom Brady was still in their team, they'd
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: probably have another shot I win this division again.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: But he ain't there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: It was a trask and Baker fighting for the number
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one quarterback position right now. So yeah, just again, you
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: want a super Bowl three years ago, you sowed your soul.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think any Tampa Bay fans gonna complain.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: It's it is what it is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: You guys are incredibly talented at the wide receiver position
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and at the linebacker position, and that's it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: That's that's basically what you guys have.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: You have really high level talent those spots, and the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: rest of the team is just gutted. So the offensive
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: line might be a little better obviously than it was
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: last year with all the injuries that had last year,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: but you lost Tom Brady.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: It's just.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna bet the under. I mean, I know a
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: couple of pros that they're very contrarian. They're like, you
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: have to take the over on this. It's just I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: asked them to give me five good reasons to take
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: this over, and I think that each of them got
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the two and that was about it. They were like, yep,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I guess this is kind of forcing it here. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: if they were a smart team, they would start trask,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: see what they have in the kid let them be terrible.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: You can get you know, a top four, top five pick,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: get quarterback in the future, and restart over. But to me,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: this is the team that you know six and a half.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: That's my only fear is at six and a half
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: that just feel so high. I just don't understand why
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this wasn't five and a half five because that's what
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I have him model allowed at. So that's my only fear.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And the books have numbers like this that I just
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: seem really off. They have the reasons, they know what
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they're doing, and everyone in the world's betting this under,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and they really haven't moved this number too much, so
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that's my only real pause.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: But I got no issue taking this under.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I got it off by a game and a half,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, under six and a half, no doubt, easy bet.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: And I bet the over just in case Baker is
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the start. I bet his over interceptions, which I believe
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: was at like twelve or thirteen. But I've been really
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: small bet just because he might not even be the starter,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and he might be benched midway through the season even
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: if he is a starter. So there's just no real
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: fun value bets to make with this Tample team. They're
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: just going to be bad. That's that's simply simply put.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I kind of feel like I feel like there's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a that's why the wise guys who are betting this
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: are betting the under. It's because it's so contrarian and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this team looks so bad and everybody believes it and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that's the consensus opinion. So they're almost obligated by professional
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: professional obligation to take the under. But sometimes the under
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is the under, right, Like we've done that with the Texans,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and seeing how bad a team is, I think one
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of the reasons why there might be a I'm sorry
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and they're taking the over because everyone else has taken
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the under. But sometimes it's just a really bad team.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I think this is a really bad team, and I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: think if Baker does start, if he starts five games,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I think you might win your interception bet.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying not to overthink it. Where that's that's
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the hardest part here in August. It's like, is this
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: too easy?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Is this is just a.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Gift by the sports bucks And every now and then
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: they do give us a gift, so this this to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: me is a nice little gift by the sports books,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: like them getting to six wins that would be a
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: good year for them, like six and eleven. I would
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: say it's pretty good for them. The only reason they
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: could get to that number is because they are in
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: this division that is so weak. But they're they're one
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: there reasons this division is weak. They're just they're just terrible.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's probably a mistake for them to get to six
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: wins because that might take him out of the running
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to have a higher draft pick.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: This is a team that just kind of needs to reload.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And so you know, if you can get one of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the top two quarterbacks in the NFL in the NFL draft,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: get Caleb Williams, you get Drake May, that might be
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: your best That might be your best play. Let's go
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to the Carolina Panthers plus four hundred to win the division.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: The win total is seven and a half minus one
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: twenty five at bet three six five plus one hundred
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to the under at the seven and a half. There's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: only two quarterbacks that are in Sean Kerner's QB Tiers
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: for Fantasy that are in Tier seven from this division,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: David Carr and Bryce Young.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Aaron Carr, you always call him David.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It's so true. Do you know why do you want
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to know why?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Because you got some type of story?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Because oh, there you go, you sound like you sound
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: like my twenty year old who want I'll say, you
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: want to know why, I'll go, oh God, tell me why.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I was just assuming you're gonna be like and I
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: visited him in Houston. I was staying at his house
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: for a week while I was writing a piece on
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: him for ESPN.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That's exactly, That's exactly exactly that. Jed So, Derek Carr,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and Bryce Young. I don't know, man like I'm not
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a buyer. I'm not a buyer on Bryce Young. I'm
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not a buyer on the Panthers team. We have been
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: big Panthers betters in the past and love them. Their
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: their defensive line. According to according to PFF, is you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: say sick, PFF says good, not great. They got Brian Burns.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: You know they got is total.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Stud right, uh contract year he will get Nick Bosa
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Joey Bosa like money when his deal is up. Nick
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Bosa right now is sitting out trying to get a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: better deal from the Niners. He wants that, you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: t J Watt that Joey Bosa's standard deal. Brian Burns
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: is in camp, he is playing, He's going to go
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: through the year. He will get that deal if he
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: is anything close to what he's been in the past
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: couple of years. Derek Brown defensive tackle, one of the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: highest graded defensive tackles according to PFF. But that might
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: be the best unit of their whole team.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's going to shock people, because I literally
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: all I did was just sho on Bryce Young for
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: six months and he costs me a lot of money,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: no fault of his own.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: But I love this team chet.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I know that people are out on I know, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: know if I'm gonna go along shot in this division,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it's not Atlanta for me, it's this team. And I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: think it's because Bryce Schunk to me, is the most
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: ready quarterback. Like, do I think his career longevity wise
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is gonna be great. No, I think he is two
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: in his size, he won't be able to take hits.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: But for year one, I love the upside of him.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: He's just.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever had a QB smarter
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: coming out of college like this kid is.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Football wise, he's.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: A genius, Like he is so good at reading defenses,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: he's so good at making mistakes and not making the
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: same mistake again, Like he's just that's why he took
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: aim number one. Like the kid is already made. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you know they're gonna talk about his ceiling everything like that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: To me, like this is his ceiling, like the next
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: year or two, I just don't know how he's gonna
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: keep getting better. It's it's all there. So you know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, Chad. They got they got holes. But
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I do think their defense is incredibly strong, Like this
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: is a really good defensive unit.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Frank Reich historically has always started slow.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Like if you go back and look at his years
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: with the Colts, I mean I have to ask Evan Abrams,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: but I feel like he never won Week one or two, right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It wasn't that always a weird thing with this with
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: them coaching them.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Like they just always started slow.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe I'd be better off waiting in season
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: getting better odds on them divisionally and their win total over.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: But you know, I've already bet it, so I got
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: them eight and a half wins for the year, so
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: obviously I'm taking the over seven and a half. Divisionally
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: bet three six five hasn't met plus four hundred. That's
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: fair that that's a good number. Like they are, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the third best team this division. Atlanta should be ahead
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: of them. Alanta has all the the the names on offense.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows all the names Alanta has all across their offense.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: But Bright shang to me, he is a winner and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: he's crazy smart, and I could see him just dragging
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: this corpse of a team to eight wins. So you know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: they're gonna need a lot of luck to win this division.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: But I think they have the opportunity there. Like again,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: it's I'm not not knocking them for drafting them Carolina, Like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: to me, their future have been better taking the other guys,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: but we're here now. Like they took Bryce s Young,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: he's leading their offense. I'm telling you, Chad, this kid
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: is fucking smart man, and like he has really really
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: good football wise, like just always improving, always learning from
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: mistakes and just recorrecting this mistake.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: So I can't believe I'm doing it.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, if I'm going with a long shot in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: this division, this is the bet i'd take. I would
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: take Carolina, not the Atlanta Falcons.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Wow, all right, when we did the AFC North podcast.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: We had not talked before the show, and after all
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: my research. It hit me the night before the show
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that I was going to love the Cleveland Browns, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I knew you were going to love the Cleveland Browns too,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and we set it together on the show and it
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: was like a nice little surprise. This is stunning to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: me because when I was doing my research, I did
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: not come to the conclusion of the Carolina Panthers because
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I did not think the rest of their roster was
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: good enough that Bryce Young could make that much of
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a difference. So what you're saying to me is astonishing,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: totally astonishing.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that, yeah, it sucks that Feeling's one of.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: His bigger, his big receivers, Like it's not ideal, but
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: you know, I think Miles Sanders will do good on
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: that team. It's just there's just a lot of stuff
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: there that I like, and the biggest key to that
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: is Bryce Young. I just think he's a ready made product.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Like if there's a guy that is ready to be
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: dropped right into the NFL, it's him. And the only
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: knock is, I don't know he's gonna hold up, Like
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he can take the hits any
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: of that stuff. You know that that to me is
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: those are words down the road. That's that's up, that's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the next couple of years for his first year in
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the league. I like him in this spot. I just
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I just like this spot he's in where he is.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know how savvy he is going to be,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: but just from what I've read, in what I've seen,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: he feels like he is the mentality of a fifth
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: year starter in this league. He just seems like very very,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: very smart. And I'm going to bank on that. Where
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I have a million more questions about the starter for
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Atlanta and and all what they're doing at the quarterback
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: position where Carolina, I know exactly what I'm getting from
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: this kid. I know exactly what's going to be this
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: upcoming season. And you know I talked about in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: draft process, I had a second round grade in the kid.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: But now that we're here and he's playing, he is
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the most ready made quarterback to come out of this
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: draft class.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: You make two interesting points, and we're going to get
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to the Falcons. You make two interesting points about the roster,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and you could sort of see what the Panthers were
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: thinking a little bit with what they've done since they
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: drafted Bryce Young. They got Bryce Young. They believe what
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you believe, right, They believe the guy is NFL ready
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: day one starter coach like Frank Wright, who can help
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: develop him, put him in situations to win, take advantage
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: of the talents, and instead of relying on having him
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: growing with other young offensive skill position players, you get
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: an Adam feel and who might be on the other side,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but it is still a really disciplined route runner, can
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: find ways to get open, can be a quarterback's best
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: friend in short yardage situations. You get a guy like
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, who I think I read the plan is
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to get him the ball fifteen times a game on
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the ground and you know, three to five times a
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: game through the air, largely in short passes. So you
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: surround him Bryce Young, being him with guys who have
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: been there, who know how to be professional football players.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: So maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just like so down
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: on the idea that I was blinded and I needed
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: your professionalism to shine a light on the opportunity.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just think everyone their favorite team in
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: this division, especially the fake pros like the guys who
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: act like they're professional betters. Is Atlanta like that? That
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: just to me seems like the easy bet for a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: lot of people. It's like, well, look at their schedule.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: They're playing a lot of rookies and all this other
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: stuff where it's like, I don't know, you shoul probably
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: dig a little deep bran into who their quarterback is
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and how he's gonna produce this upcoming season and when
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: it boils down, boils down to it, Chad, Carolina, their
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: defense is underrated at this point, Like you're you just
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: talked about a little bit where you know, the strongest
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: part of their unit is that deef D line, you know,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: the secondary and their linebacker position is pretty good. So
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: across the board, I just think last year Carolina felt
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: like a little bit of a lost cause, guy, I
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: just didn't believe in the quarterback position, where this year
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I do believe in Bryce Young.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl odds. Hell no, you can.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: You'll never catch me betting on a rookie, especially sixty
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: six to one, Like what the fuck? Like they have
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: this they're they're close to the same odds that we
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: got the Bears at Like that's crazy. So yeah, yeah, terrible,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: terrible odds for the Super Bowl futures, but Division Odds
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: think that's a good number plus four hundred.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: By the way, I mentioned that Bryce Young is in
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Sean Cruner's QB Tier seven for Fantasy. Baker Mayfield's in
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Tier ten. We're going to talk about the Falcons. We're
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: going to talk about the same he is a Tier
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: ten Chier ten. First, we're going to talk about game Time.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about game time for so long on
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: this show because I personally love game time, no joke.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: The other night talking to my wife about game Time.

• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We have been an Atlanta Falcons podcast. We've done it
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: when it's been ugly, We've done it when it's been uncomfortable.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: We love Arthur Smith. We love his scheme, run heavy.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: It plays to the strength of their offensive line, which
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: is a top ten offensive line. They drafted Bijon Dijon.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: They got weapons. I think that's why people are falling
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: in love. They got weapons, and they've seen what Arthur
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Smith has done with the likes of Cordero Patterson. They've
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: seen what he's done with people who he was just
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: bringing in off the street. He keeps skims close and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: people love him. He's a better's good friend. Yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's all if do you believe in Desmond
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Ritter or do you not? And I do not believe
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: in the kid.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So QB Tier ten according to Sean Kerner, by.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: The way, and that's right.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Again, this could easily change if they do trade for
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Tannehill or if they make a move for a quarterback.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Easily could change because they do. Drake London is an
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: incredible talent. I still don't really know about Pitts yet,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: but in his in fairness to him, he's never had
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: a quarterback like he had a broken Matt Ryan and
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: then a Mariota. It's just he really is that much
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: throwing to him. Which again that's why I shot on
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: this organization. They took a tight end at the number
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: four pick instead of taking justin fields will never make
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: sense and anyone's big board, it would never make sense
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the value. And we talk all the time, like the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: best tight ends in the league, you know, the Mark Andrews,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the Travis Kelcey's, the Kittles, they're all third, fourth, fifth
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: round picks. Like that's where you find you're dim in
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the rough at tight end position, your quarterback position. You
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: find in the first round. They went the other way.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: They're like, you know, well we'll take a tight end
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the first and we'll take our starting quarterback.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: In the third round. So Desmond.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Easily could be wrong with the kid, Like, if he
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: has the confidence he can get the ball downfield, he
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: will be a good starting quarterback. I have no idea
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: if he can do that. Last year, all the film
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I saw, he was terrified to throw over ten yards.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Like the kid will try to dink and dunk his
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: way down the field. He's not that good. He's not
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: my homes He can't do that, Like he can't read defenses.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: So you know, I would say I've talked to a
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: couple of guys, a couple of pros over the last
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: couple of months. They're all trying to convince themselves to
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: take this Falcons team. They're all trying to convince so
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the better on them divisionally, take their over win total,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Like to keep bringing up how many rookies they play
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: on their schedule, how easy their schedule is. I just
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: can't get behind Desmond Ritter.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I just can't do it.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: So this is a team that I had taken them
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: at three three to one. I believe we talked about
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: them in the year. Yeah, it was just because I
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: thought they would trade for a new quarterback. It seems
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: like this is the guy like they're gonna roll with him.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll take their under. I won't touch them divisionally.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: To me, they're just what.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Are they down to?
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: They're bound to plus two to twenty division.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I'm bet three sixty five.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Like to me, they should be closer to Carolina, like
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: they should be plus three fifty plus three hundred. So
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: clearly the big money is coming and move this number.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Somebody's believing in Atlanta, but it ain't me. So I
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: might be my foot the end of the year, Chad,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: but as we sit here right now, I just can't
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: be can't be putting money into this team positively.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting the way we talk about Arthur
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Smith being a better's good friend. I feel like bookmakers
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: recognize there's a little bit of a bias for Arthur Smith,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of a a Kyle Shanahan light reputation
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: amongst amongst people who are big fans of the NFL
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: are paying attention to schemes, paying attention to rosters. He's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: got thoughts on how to build an offense, and he's
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: able to adjust. And I think that, of course he
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: wants a great quarterback. But I think he's a coach
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: who also thinks I can probably figure out how to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: win some games with that one. And I think he's
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: getting I think he's getting a lot of credit for that.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: And we've seen it in a couple of years that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: he's been a head coach and it's paid off for people.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: So I think that's why that's why we're seeing people
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: not really caring about Desmond Ritter because he feels like
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I've got tools everywhere, I'll be fine, And.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: It's totally fair. I mean, he literally he was coach
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: or maybe he wasn't coach or almost positively was. He
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: was on Tennessee when they got that one see with
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Dan Hill, like he really did.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: That's that's what got him to the reputational before that.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: But I mean he's really good. And again Cooidell Patterson,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: the guy who was left for dead, he could play
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: turn around his career there in Atlanta, turned him into
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: a running back. And yeah, it's just it's not so
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: much about him. It's just it's all about the kid Desmond.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Like I just I just don't have a real read
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: on him. And everything I've seen from training camp is
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: again and what you expect for a first year starter.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: He'll have a great practice one day and the next
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: day he'll go one for five with two interceptions. It's
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: just up and down every other practice. So yeah, I
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: just can't get behind it. But I totally get where.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: You're coming from.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Chad like he is, you know, one of the best
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: offensive lines in all football, So can't can't can't say
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you that's not true. I mean, that run blocking scheme
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: he had last year was incredible. They just were one
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: of the best running teams in all football last year.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: So makes sense where you're coming from. But I'm gonna
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: stay in my ground and say this kid is not
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: a starting quarterback in the NFL right now.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: The Falcons have, according to Sean Kerner, the fourth easiest
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: schedule in the NFL. Between Arthur Smith, the schedule, the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: talent on the edges, Drake Londa, and Kyle Pitts bijon
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: because people are saying, you know, in a very weak
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: division eight and a half isn't impossible, sneaking out a
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: nine win division winner isn't impossible. The last team we
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: got to talk about, the New Orleans Sayings, who, according
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to Kurner, have the fifth easiest schedule a veteran in
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr talk about a team that just it lost
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: all its personality. Do you know what I mean? Like
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: even their D line, which was the anchor of their defense,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: has become one of the worst units in the league.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: So they got Dennis Allen as a coach, they got
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr, who's indiscernible from his brother, who's my age
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: as a quarterback. There's nothing to get excited about for
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: a team that's a plus one twenty winner to vision
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of nine and a half wins at plus plus one
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: ten at bet three six five nothing Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: no dilateated and gentlemen with the Saints go watching in
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm looking at this. I'm looking at
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: your face like when I'm saying this, and I'm like
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: this fucker, yeah, this guy.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: It's rare to go chalk, but I'm going chalk in
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: this division. I love the Saints. I think they're above
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: everyone else that's even close. Like I do think they're.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: The best Saints.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on. You love the Saints to win
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the division. You love them that plus one twenty.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Don't hate it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I honestly think they probably should be minus one, one,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: one thirty.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: They're just.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: You know, I think you nailed at what the public
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: opinion is on Derek Carr, like, they're just off for
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: the guy. You had a horrible year last year with
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels as head coach. I think it's gonna be
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: a lot better for him this upcoming season. I think
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: that you know, who knows what Michael Thomas will be,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: but I think he'll be more comfortable in this offense.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: You know, Chris Olave, the other wide receiver, is really
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: talented the Canada Ohio State. It's what year two for him.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: They have the talent there. But I do agree with
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: what you're saying about their defense. I think they did
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: lose some identity on that defense, where you know, they
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: were tough as.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Hell last year.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: They kind of got away from that and it came
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: back around towards the end of the season, right, they
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: did improve. I don't have much face in Dennis sound.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I'm in lockstep with Chad and Dennis Allen. I think
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: he is Historically he's a loser, but I did think
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: last year he made improvements as a coach. You know,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the the Alvin Kamar missing the first three games of
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the year is that ideal. But we talked all the
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: time like the running back position shouldn't dictate how you're
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: going to bet a team for the upcoming season, so
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: it won't let it affect me. I still think this
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: is a gritty veteran team. It's all lay out for them.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: They should win this division. I sprinkled a little bet
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: on them to be the number one seed in the NFC,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: just because what Chad is talked about. They have an
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: easy schedule and if I do think Derek Carr can
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: get back too, not even the MVP level he had
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: years ago when he was some of the Raiders were
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: still playing in Oakland. You can just get right below that,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: if you can get back to being what he should be,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: right a Kirk Cousins type, a top twelve, top fifteen
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: kind of quarterback. How do they not run away with
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: this division? I mean they are just far and above
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: the most veteran team and best team in this division.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: So little spoiler for future episodes. I only have one
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: other team I'm really high on that's the favorite to
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: lead their division. And if you know Matt Mitchell, you'll
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: know that's his favorite team in all football, So this
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: is the only other time I'm going chalk is the Saints.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I just I like the number plus one, twenty plus one, thirty,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I like the over nine and a half.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: They just.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Not that Derek Carr's got to be feeling the pressure.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: But this kind of feels like a make or break
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: season for him, right It's kind of left for dead.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: If he does have a really bad year, I think
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: they would easily move on from him. But you know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: it's it's just all there from There's no real excuses.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Like their offensive line is not that terrible. It's not
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: as bad as it was in Oakland, I mean Las Vegas.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, on the outside, if Michael Thomas gonna
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: come back to form, that's an incredible number two to have,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: like because I do think Chris Lovey is number one
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: on this team. So it's all there, Chad, it's all
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: there for them to be better this year. The big
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: question is Derek Carr. So I'm a Derek Carr believer.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I always have been. I just I liked the kid.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I think last year a lot was on him. He
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: melted it down as well. I'm gonna put a lot
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: of it on Josh mccale's too. I just didn't think
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: he put him in the best position, and clearly he
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: didn't believe it on him. I mean, they could have
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: moved on from him any quicker in this offseason, So
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: to me, I like him in a revenge bounce back spot.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Veteran quarterback on a team that they're just in.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Such a weak division, Like if they were any any
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: if they were in the NFC East, you know, if
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: they're on some of these other divisions, I would not
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: be this high on this team. But they're in the
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: NFC South and this team is just a wasteland right
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: now of quarterbacks, and Derek Carr is by far the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: best quarterback in this division, has the most talent on
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: his team. I got to take this number.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Chat.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to not trying not to be biased where
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I just love taking the big dogs. I do like Carolina,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: but in reality, my big, my biggest bet right now
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: is this team to win this division.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Well, color me surprised, Simon Color be surprised. It makes
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: all the sense in the world. I think this is
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: always an interesting conversation for me to have because it
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: reveals my biases. To me, and my blind spots when
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it comes to this stuff.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: We all have them, tho.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm so biased on the NFC South and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: so biased against Dennis Allen and so biased against Derek Carr.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Like that's totally fair.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not seeing the opportunity, right, What have we said
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: in the past, We don't get to create the opportunity,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: We just get to bet the opportunity. And clearly I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: was not seeing the opportunity, but now I do have
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to bet the opportunity. The best bets for us from
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: this division NFC South Carolina over seven and a half
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: at bet three six five right now, the New Orleans
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Saints at plus one twenty to win the division and
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: over nine and a half at plus one hundred, I mean,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: plus money on both. Are we not doing this now
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: that I look at it, now that you pointed out,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: how are we not doing this?
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I mean we're pretty two overs two unders. But that's
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: just how I view the division.
