- 1:35was not feeling very good on Thanksgiving. I went two and one on Thanksgiving, but on the whole
- 1:41slate for last week. I went five, three and one and I won my surefire. So I'm feeling pretty okay.
- 1:48I'm feeling pretty okay. I've been dog shit the past forever. I don't know. It just it feels like
- 1:56it's never ended. It feels like it has never ended. This is my first good week in a while.
- 2:01I'm gonna enjoy it. I'm not gonna talk shit. I'm gonna respect the board and just take
- 2:08take what comes to me. And Chris, how did you do? I mean, not great. Not terrible. I went
- 2:17bet the whole board went seven and eight. So bet the whole board only down a unit or yeah, only
- 2:25down a unit you don't you don't hate it. But Sunday, the noon slate, the end of the noon slate was
- 2:31not kind to me. Lost my surefire in brutal fashion. Matt Jones and the Jags backdoor cover.
- 2:39That was awful. Lost two unders in a matter of seconds. It was like the the Seahawks jets went
- 2:51over and then 30 seconds later, I think the Colts scored to go over on like the last play of the
- 2:59game. Yep. So yeah, the noon slate and then rebounded all right with the afternoon slate went.
- 3:06But it was just brutal. Lost Monday night too. Also lost Monday night in brutal fashion because
- 3:16James just could not stop throwing interceptions in the second half of that game. So the losses
- 3:24were just brutal. And but still seven and eight not the worst. All things considered. So we're
- 3:35fine. We're we still got bullets ready for week 14. Okay. Did you end up taking that Vikings
- 3:41Cardinals under? Yes, I had 45 and a half and 45. Fuck you. That was my one push. That was
- 3:52because I had 45. Yeah. That was yeah, it was a week where the losses were brutal and none of
- 3:59the wins came easy other than the bills other than that none of the wins were easy. Yeah, that
- 4:05Cardinals Vikings was was like six to three at halftime. So I just kind of honestly stopped paying
- 4:11attention. I was like, Oh, this is crude. Like I don't put my focus into other games. Don't have
- 4:17to worry about this. And then I see like halfway through the fourth quarter, I'm like, Oh my God,
- 4:20this is a sweat all of a sudden. What the hell happened? And I was fortunate enough to have 45
- 4:27in the hook. I apologize to the rest of the people on this panel who had 45 even or 44 and a half,
- 4:36depending on I don't know. Did everyone at least push wait, you had 45 and a half? Yeah, it was
- 4:43it in at 45. Yeah, he won. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I wanted to have 45 so it pushed for me. So I was
- 4:50cool with that. I also pushed. Okay, as long as anybody's lost. But I mean, when you have a six
- 4:56three game with the half and it ends up pushing that's it might as well be it feels like a loss.
- 5:02But yeah, like I said, we still got bullets for week 14. So
- 5:08let's go. Yeah. Now, how did you do? Thank you board, but I kind of love it, honestly.
- 5:15Okay. So yeah, I went seven, eight and one. I also bet the board. I went two and one on
- 5:25Thanksgiving. But I knew it was kind of going to be a bad week just the way that the Bears Lions
- 5:31game ended. Having the over in that game was I mean, just I'm glad Eberflue Scott
- 5:42kicked to the curb. He deserved it. I've never seen a more dismantle clock management. I mean,
- 5:54just what if I'm censoring myself a little bit. But yeah, it was ridiculous. Yeah, it was ridiculous.
- 6:04That's a good word. Yeah. I apologize. I didn't get my Black Friday pick in on time for the Twitter.
- 6:15I forgot the game started at two. I was at work and I got home and I was scrolling on
- 6:22TikTok and someone was like live streaming the game and I was like, Oh, shit. I forgot to bet.
- 6:28But yeah, Raiders plus 13 and a half. I ended up going on with that. I didn't take the over. Like
- 6:33I said, glad I didn't. But yeah, like Chris, the noon slate just kind of kicked me in the balls.
- 6:42It was just bad beat after bad beat to unders. I think we both have the same unders. Texans
- 6:50are Jags backdoor covered. Awful, awful, awful. Shout out, Wills, Surefire, Chargers minus one.
- 7:02That was great. And then that was just about it. That's all I want on Sunday except for the Bucks
- 7:09Panthers over. But I don't think really anyone in America watched that. I watched it. Okay. Because
- 7:16my regular bet was cooked. So I just flipped it over to the end of that game. Yeah. And I also
- 7:21lost my Surefire this week. Again, it's been a rough week, fellas. I'm not going to lie.
- 7:30Getting a little depressed, just thinking about it again. Kind of ready to move on.
- 7:36That's what we're here for. We're ready to move on to week 14 of the NFL season.
- 7:41And let's go ahead and get into these games here. All right. So first game we're really going to
- 7:46dive into here is Falcons at the Vikings. All right. The Vikings are home favorites by five and
- 7:53a half here. And both of these teams, like they're still in the mix to win their division. I mean,
- 8:02Falcons are leading their division and Vikings have won 10 games. The Lions have won 11. So they're
- 8:08still kind of neck and neck here. And you know, whatever happens on Thursday night football,
- 8:15you know, today night football, because it's Thursday. That's really TNF. Today night football.
- 8:24Yeah. Today night football. Chris is so beautiful, I said.
- 8:31Both teams kind of need a win here to stay in the race for their perspective divisions.
- 8:45I'll go ahead and take this one. Like I said, the Falcons are leading their division and the
- 8:50Vikings have not really beat the wheels off of anyone. I mean, like six of their 10 wins are
- 8:57like less than a score of a point differential, whatever. That yeah, they have a couple of wins
- 9:07by 10 points. The only team they really beat the wheels off of is the Texans in like week two or
- 9:16whatever. And that came out of nowhere. But other than that, other games have been like semi close,
- 9:22one score to 10 points, maybe 11. And for that reason, I'm taking the Falcons plus five and a
- 9:29half here. I think this is a big number. And I think that Kirk Cousins definitely wants to
- 9:35redeem himself from last week, not a good showing. I think this is a bounce back game for the Falcons.
- 9:41And Falcons could win, but also Vikings probably will win. But that's this is a big number. This
- 9:49is a big number to cover for the Vikings. And I just don't see it. I'm picking the Falcons here.
- 9:54Chris, you seem to be nodding your head in right here. I completely agree with everything you said.
- 10:02I know five and a half is a big number. I can do you one better. It is now six on DraftKings. So if
- 10:07you want to get that, I don't know if you've locked it in yet. But I got Falcons plus six in case you
- 10:15were wondering. Kirk Cousins was God awful last week, and they still almost won that game.
- 10:21Right.
- 10:23He threw four picks and they still like definitely could have won that game.
- 10:30This is, it's not a revenge game, but it's against a former team. So he knows, he knows
- 10:36Brian Flores, he knows like pretty much what is going to happen defensively in this game.
- 10:41I like Falcons also to keep it close. Like you said, Vikings have not really beaten a whole
- 10:47lot of teams like haven't beaten a lot of teams by more than a score. I actually have it right here.
- 10:52They have four wins by six plus six points or more. And the Falcons have only lost three games
- 11:00by six points or more. So I like to keep within the, in the number here. Also have
- 11:06stat from Trent Center. This is a kind of a specific one. So, Buckle. Since 1990,
- 11:13when a dog of less than 10 points is on a three plus game losing streak, and the total is between
- 11:2038 and a half and 54 and a half, that team is 216, 122 and seven against the spread, six and four in
- 11:30the last 10. Give me the Falcons plus six. I love it. I think this is Kirk Cousins,
- 11:38like I said, not revenge game, but pseudo revenge game. Sean, what do you, what do you think?
- 11:46Yeah, I'm going with the Falcons. Kirk returns to Minnesota. I mean, we're all cut from the same
- 11:52cloth here. It's no secret that Kurt had a brutal Lee awful game last week.
- 11:58Throwing four picks. But I think he is familiar with this defense. He's familiar with Brian
- 12:05Floras' schemes and his tricks. But this isn't a return, you know, a revenge type of bet. I'm just,
- 12:14I'm honestly not buying the Vikings recent five game win streak either. They played the Joe Flacco
- 12:22Colts, the shipbag Jigs, the God awful Titans, the crumbling cursed bears, and honestly, they kind
- 12:32of got a little lucky against the Cardinals. Yes, got a little lucky against Titans too.
- 12:39Sure. A lot of bullshit penalties. A lot of bullshit penalties. Sure. Lucky to cover,
- 12:45not to win. Lucky to cover. Sure. But yeah, while the Vikings started out hot,
- 12:53they had the number one defense within the first five weeks. That has since just fallen apart.
- 13:00I mean, since week six, they've fallen to nine. And since week 11, they have fallen to 20th overall.
- 13:08I mean, that's quite the downfall from first to 20th. They really haven't been able to contain
- 13:16Joe Flacco, Will Leviss or even Mack Jones. They gave up almost 350 yards to Caleb Williams,
- 13:24for God's sake. Falcons cover in the Kirk return. Falcons plus five. Or six. I haven't put it in
- 13:32yet. Whatever the Falcons number is, I'm going to take it. It's six right now. Yeah, I'm going to
- 13:37take it. Falcons points. Might have to lock that in right now or here soon. But okay, next game,
- 13:46a divisional matchup. Browns versus the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Steelers are favored by six and a
- 13:54half currently. Divisional matchup again. James Winston through the game on Monday night football
- 14:01against the Broncos that the Browns almost won that game. He just threw it away. It was just
- 14:11it was just bad. It was just bad. Sean, you go first for this this pick here.
- 14:19All right, I'm going to go a little against the grain on what I usually do. Over 44 and a half.
- 14:25Browns have a kind of piss poor defense right now and the Steelers have a legit top 10 offense at the
- 14:34moment. If this Thursday night game that they played two weeks ago in the snow, if that overcashed,
- 14:41I expect this one to cash with blind colors. Plus, James just is allergic to giving the ball
- 14:48to the other team. I've got one, two, three, I've got six stats for you. The over has gone,
- 14:57the total has gone over in four of Pittsburgh's last five games against Cleveland. The over has
- 15:04hit in six of Pittsburgh's last seven games. The total has gone over in five of Pittsburgh's last
- 15:11five games played in December. The total has gone over in four of Cleveland's last five games. The
- 15:18total has gone over in nine of Cleveland's last 13 games as an opponent in the AFC.
- 15:27And the total has gone over in five of Cleveland's last six games played in December. Yeah, give me
- 15:34the over please. Even if James is addicted to turning the ball over, he scored four touchdowns
- 15:41last week, that dude can still sling it. He can still, I mean, connect to Jerry Judy, you know,
- 15:47just throw up almost 300 yards, but whatever. Browns can score. Steelers can score. Give me the
- 15:56over. It's really that simple. Chris, what you got? I mean, you took the words right out of my
- 16:02mouth. It's over 44 and a half. How can you not bet this over after what we just saw on Monday night
- 16:08football? This is like, James is in his bag right now. Like he's throwing for 500 yards and throwing
- 16:16two picked sixes. This is what he does. He is the most electric quarterback in football right now.
- 16:24He is. That's not even available. I want him on every Browns game needs to be flexed because
- 16:33James Winston is can't miss football, but in all seriousness, he did dice up a good Denver defense
- 16:41on Monday. And I don't know if Pittsburgh defense is as good as if we're just going to do the math
- 16:48like that. I think he'll be able to have success. Denver's defense or Denver, excuse me, Cleveland's
- 16:55defense is terrible. Sean took the stat right out of my mouth. They've, excuse me, their last four
- 17:02game, four of their last five gone over. Cleveland's D has given up over 24 points in four of those
- 17:08five games. The Steelers like to chuck it as well. Russell Wilson. I mean, we know he loves the
- 17:16deep ball. He's kind of back to just prime Russ. So I really like this over. If I, if for us, I
- 17:27don't know if you guys remember this, but when we were doing our, you know, pre NFL futures show,
- 17:36I had a future on Russell Wilson to throw for over like 3000 yards or something. If he wasn't out
- 17:43for like the first five or six games, this, this would, this future would have cashed easily.
- 17:48What's he at right now? Do you have it? I don't, I just know it's going to be a loser because,
- 17:55you know, he's, he's missed five or six games, but. But yeah, no, I love this over. It's weird.
- 18:04Brown Steelers, but they're just, they're chucking the football. This isn't what I've been raised to
- 18:12been raised to believe in as a football fan, but is the world we live in, it's James, it's Russ.
- 18:19Let's go points. Will, what do you think? I liked everything that both of you guys said,
- 18:28but I'm taking a different bet. Not on the other side, but a different category. I will be taking
- 18:36these Steelers minus six and a half. I, Browns are on short rest and I, I low key think that the
- 18:47Steelers are going to beat the shit out of the Browns. And maybe, maybe not like, you know,
- 18:5840 to zero, but enough like Monday night football. I think that's what it's going to be like.
- 19:05It's going to be a high scoring game where Steelers score like 40 or something and Browns throw away
- 19:14a cover at a, with a, with a, with a James, with the famous James pick six and it ends 31 to 40
- 19:22or something like that. That is what I foresee in this game. The Steelers, they're, dare I say, back
- 19:31the past couple of years, I mean, they've been, they've been over, they've always, I mean,
- 19:35they've always been above 500 with Mike Tomlin, but like kind of not great the past couple of years,
- 19:42just, you know, just 500. But you know what I'm saying? They seem like legitimately good this year.
- 19:49Yeah. Not, not just like, oh yeah, they're 500. They'll, they'll make the playoffs and get stomped.
- 19:54It's like, no, they seem like an actually good football team. Yeah. And so that's, that's my
- 20:00pick. Steelers minus six and a half. They're at home. Pittsburgh is going to be rocking the pit.
- 20:06I don't know if they call it that. And I just think, I, James had his time. He had his, his one
- 20:14game that he returns and he was awesome. That, that snow game two weeks ago.
- 20:21Will always have it. He will always have that. But then this, this, the Steelers will have the rest.
- 20:27And that's, that's, that's my pick. Okay. Next game, another divisional matchup. Seahawks at the
- 20:36Cardinals. Cardinals are favored by two and a half. This division is also kind of wide open.
- 20:44I believe the Seahawks lead like seven. I think they have like seven wins. And then the Cardinals
- 20:51are like right behind them or something. I don't know. I looked at it, didn't write it down. Not
- 20:58going to look it up again. Chris, I'm going to throw this one to you first. What do you think about
- 21:04this game? I took over 44 and a half in the last game. Take it under 44 and a half this game.
- 21:12These two teams played two weeks ago and I took the under and it
- 21:16was the easiest bet of my life. And neither offense has really done anything last week to
- 21:25convince me otherwise. I think this is another snoozer, if I'm perfectly honest.
- 21:31Something about like the Cardinals, I don't know with them. Their offense is very much
- 21:36Jekyll and Hyde. I can't trust them to put up points. Also, honestly, same thing with the Seahawks.
- 21:42You never know which Geno you're going to get. Kind of like Jamis, except not a
- 21:46Geno Smith is the 99 cent Jamis Winston. It's like he's not as electric, but he'll throw for about
- 21:55350 few touchdowns and like two picks. But yeah, I like this under despite the Seahawks jets last
- 22:07week with a kickoff return for a touchdown and a pick six pretty much back to back. That game still
- 22:16could have gone on. It went over with like three minutes left, I think. So I'm taking this under
- 22:22again. I just don't think either offense is really capable of scoring that many points.
- 22:29So yes, under 44 and a half in a late season divisional game. Sean, what are your thoughts?
- 22:39All right. Seahawks plus two and a half. Only recently have the Cardinals become kind of a
- 22:50threat to win this division. But I would like to point I know the Seahawks are leading this division
- 23:00and I would like to point you in this direction that Kyler Murray is absolutely horrible at home
- 23:10in divisional games. Drafted in 2019. Kyler Murray has only won three divisional games at home.
- 23:23One being this season when they beat the shit out of the Rams 41 to 10. But before that he
- 23:30had not won a divisional game at home since October of 2021. I'm going to be a coward and just take
- 23:41the points and not the money line. But this spread is so close that it could come down to a field
- 23:48goal, you know where the Cardinals kick a last second field goal go up one. But yeah, this is
- 23:55just purely a Kyler is dog shit against the NFC West. And I I did my own like little trend on
- 24:06trend center where I was like, I wonder how good Kyler is in division. And overall, when he's on
- 24:15the he has I think seven more road wins in division. So he's 24. Or he is 10 and 24 in divisional games.
- 24:29Yeah, he's he's awful in division. But most of those wins have come on the road. So this being
- 24:37at home, I feel more confident in taking the Seahawks plus two and a half. Plus two and a half.
- 24:43All right, yeah, I'm taking it. I'm I'm going to be a coward and take the points. But
- 24:50that money line is looking delicious. I will say that. Come on, come on. It's two and a half points.
- 24:57Check the Twitter. Okay, check the Twitter. Well, yeah, well what you got? Oh, thank you.
- 25:07I am also on the Seahawks plus two and a half here. I don't know if you guys remember, but about
- 25:14two weeks ago, I gave out a stat very similar to Sean's. The last time the Cardinals and Seahawks
- 25:21played, it was in Seattle two weeks ago, I gave out the stat column areas five and 12 against
- 25:27the spread versus the NFC West. The Seahawks won that game. And now he is five and 13 against
- 25:36that spread. And I will continue to bet against Kyler Murray in divisional games. That's kind
- 25:43of all I really have to say about that. I mean, Seahawks, they're a divisional dog. Like, come on.
- 25:50Other than that, I mean, I think the Seahawks are they've put it together
- 25:56more better than than the Cardinals. More better. That's what I said.
- 26:01Right on my tombstone. Okay, next game. Bill's at the Rams.
- 26:13Right? Yeah. Yeah. With this. Should this be the game of the week?
- 26:18Probably. Yeah. That's what I'm that's what I'm thinking. In Los Angeles, Rams are home dogs by
- 26:26four and a half. Let's see that that you know, they're in that that division with the Seahawks
- 26:32and the Cardinals like that division still kind of wide open, kind of. I mean, it's late. It's
- 26:40it's late, but someone who goes on a run, it's it's kind of up for grabs. You know what I
- 26:48at the risk of sounding like a moron, I am going to go first here. I'm taking the Rams.
- 26:53100 hungry dog runs faster. They need to win.
- 27:00I'm taking the spread out. I don't think I don't think they'll win, but they need to play a lot
- 27:05better if they if they want to fucking do something this year. And then I have a trend center stat
- 27:12and it's titled fading teams coming off great offensive home wins
- 27:17for 439 284 and 28 against the spread. And I am taking the Rams to cover here. It's four and a
- 27:30half. I think it's for a team that really, really needs a win to stay competitive. I think this is
- 27:36a good number at the risk of being a moron and just watching this game and then the Rams getting
- 27:45their shit rocked by by Josh Allen. But for Rams, keep it close. That's all that's all I'm asking
- 27:52for. That's all I'm asking for here. Chris, what do you think? I agree. Rams plus four and a half.
- 28:02I don't it's stinky, but it feels like the smart play. Bill's coming off very emotional win in
- 28:09the snow. They clinched the division. Now they got to travel across the country. They got to play
- 28:14the Rams who are sneaky kind of red hot right now. One five or the last seven. I kind of I think the
- 28:21Rams can win this game outright, but I am also taking four and a half. Just seems like a letdown
- 28:25spot for the bills. So I'm going to ride the hot hand with Stafford and the Rams. That's pretty
- 28:30much all it is. It's it's more of a fade the bills in this spot than it is that I think the Rams are
- 28:37such a good football team. But I'm taking the Rams. Sean, what do you think?
- 28:41Well, I was going to say it's hard to not bet on the bills right now, but apparently it is hard.
- 28:47It is hard not to bet on the bills. It is hard for you to, but it's not hard for me. I mean,
- 28:56seven in a row, man. Five of those by at least five points or more. You know, in those two,
- 29:03they were division rivals being the dolphins and the Jets, which is a little concerning, but you
- 29:09know, bills just they're they're fucking different, dude. They're on something right now. They're
- 29:19just better in every single facet of this game. The only thing that kind of concerns me is the
- 29:29bills are are kind of lazy on the road. You know, they they they lost against Houston
- 29:40and the Ravens on the road. But the Rams ain't Houston or the Ravens right now.
- 29:49I feel pretty confident in taking the bills minus four and a half here.
- 29:53I mean, I just I just had this thought that, you know, the bills are on this kind of insane run
- 30:00right now. And the AFC championship, Bill's chiefs bills come out on top to face the Detroit
- 30:13Lions in the Super Bowl. How awesome would that be? Bill's Lions Super Bowl, like two dog shit
- 30:21franchises in the Super Bowl who haven't won anything. How awesome would that be? It would be
- 30:30incredible. It would be it doesn't have anything to do with my why I'm taking this pick, but I just
- 30:36had that thought. And it's got me a little hyped up. But I feel really confident in taking the
- 30:41bills minus four and a half here. Yeah, man, they're just different. They're they're on something
- 30:47right now. Josh Allen getting engaged to Hailey Steinfeld. I mean, he's he's on cloud nine right
- 30:56now. I mean, his life is just life is perfect. Yeah, it's perfect. It's so but he's he Josh Allen
- 31:07is like one of the few men who I'm not jealous of, you know, I'm like good for you, dude.
- 31:13I'm jealous. Good job, son. No, I'm very jealous of his life. He's very good at football. He's a
- 31:27multi millionaire and he's piping Hailey Steinfeld. I'm very jealous. Yeah, and he's going to cover this
- 31:33game too, which is going to rock.
- 31:34Yeah. Yeah, that's that Super Bowl would be the battle of the craziest fan bases.
- 31:49It'd be awesome, dude. Yeah, I think there'd be fights. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where is the Super
- 31:57Bowl this year? Vegas. Vegas. Oh my god, dude. Can you imagine both of those fan bases?
- 32:10It has to happen now. I mean, I'm not placed a bet just for those, you know,
- 32:17I do. I mean, I had the future on the lines when the Super Bowl. I would love it.
- 32:23Me too. Yeah, bills, mafia and Las Vegas. I don't really even give a shit if they win.
- 32:29Just I want to see the videos that come out of this. Oh, yeah.
- 32:36Let's see. I want to see something, but we can't continue. See what their odds are.
- 32:41Yeah, I want to see what the match up like the match of the specific. Yeah, like this.
- 32:47It's got to be one of the like the top three or four. Well, I couldn't find like exact matchups,
- 32:56but if you parlay the Lions Conference winner and the Bills Conference winner, it's plus 650.
- 33:07So I mean, they're the two favorites. No, they're not.
- 33:11They're not. Well, it's the Lions are the favorites and then the Chiefs are the favorites. Really?
- 33:18I thought the Bills were favorite over the Chiefs. No, no, no. Chiefs are 11-1, dude.
- 33:27The Bills beat them. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
- 33:33We'll get into it right now, actually, why the, for the Chiefs.
- 33:39Okay, right now we're talking about Sunday Night Football. Chargers at the Chiefs,
- 33:47the Chiefs at home, favored by four. Chiefs really haven't beaten the
- 33:55shit out of anyone this year, can barely cover a number. And I am going to throw this to Sean first.
- 34:04All right. In my opinion, this is the best game of the week. The slate really sucks this week.
- 34:13So let's just have some fun over 43 and a half. Chargers are an offensive tear as of late.
- 34:22Chiefs continue to be the luckiest team in the history of the league. And but, you know,
- 34:27they're also no strangers to scoring. So I love this over. It's a prime time over. Doesn't scare me
- 34:35at all. Division over. Doesn't scare me at all. This could be a shootout. Let's just, let's have fun,
- 34:42dude. That's all I got to say, really. I really have no insight, no depth other than just,
- 34:50fuck it, we ball. And they ball because they're going to score at least 44 points.
- 34:56So yeah, that's my in depth insight into this game. Chris, what do you got?
- 35:08Opposite. Okay.
- 35:10Under 43 and a half. Just I get I get your reasoning. It is best game to slate. So have some fun. I
- 35:16just don't have any confidence in either of these offenses. They just haven't shown me anything to
- 35:22what? What I don't. The chargers haven't shown you any offensive life at all. Like,
- 35:29I mean, I wouldn't say at all, but I don't really believe in them. I don't think they're like some
- 35:35prolific offense. Plus, JK Dolman's done for the season out there run game was terrible to begin
- 35:40with. And now it's done pretty much. I just don't really, I don't really believe in either of these
- 35:48offenses. I don't think the Chiefs are going to go out here and ball out. I think they're going to
- 35:51do what they do every single week, play with their food for three and a half quarters and do just
- 35:56enough to win, whether it be by their own hand or the officials. I just, I don't really see a whole
- 36:03lot of points against scoring this game. I think the last time they played this game was boring as
- 36:07shit. I think we got a repeat. So yeah, under 43 and a half. Will, who side do you want?
- 36:14Neither. Coward. He's on another side, just not you or me. I know. Coward. He has to pick.
- 36:28All right, Will, if you were to choose a side, which one would you be on?
- 36:32Well, this is the reason why I didn't choose a total. Because he's a coward.
- 36:36I am a coward. But I will, I also didn't look at it. I didn't look at the number
- 36:46for the total. 43, 43 and a half. Man, that's so low. But like, it's not high either.
- 36:56Yeah, it's not really low, but it's not high. Yeah, I guess right there. It's just right there.
- 37:03It's an NFL total. It's just like,
- 37:10like, Chiefs are going to stay, they're going to play with their food. It's exactly what Chris is
- 37:16saying. It's just like, I would say I am a little bit more of a believer in the Chargers to put up
- 37:24some points. But I also think that the Chiefs are going to play up or down whatever it has to be in
- 37:36order to win the game by one or two. And I'm taking the Chargers. I'm taking the Chargers
- 37:47plus four here. Like, it feels like such a such a such a point where everyone doesn't believe in
- 37:57the Chiefs. And then they just go on a tear, just beat the shit out of everyone. That's kind of how
- 38:04it feels. But I had there's no there's there's nothing that tells me that they're going to
- 38:10beat them by more than four. Like it's I mean, yeah, they're 11 and one, but like,
- 38:19kind of barely, they barely beat the Raiders. I wouldn't even say they're barely 11 and one.
- 38:27I mean, they're they if you could, I mean, I don't have this in front of me, but if you could count
- 38:34up the one score games the Chiefs had. Yeah, or the field goal games like it's
- 38:42a I don't understand how anyone can bet on this with confidence on the Chief side. And so I got
- 38:49to take the Chargers Chargers been playing pretty well. They've been playing good football.
- 38:56That's, that's pretty much all I got to say about that. But I have I have been scared to bet a
- 39:03and a prime time over, but also scared to bet a prime time under. So I've been trying not to do
- 39:10either of those. But yeah, well, I mean, I like that pick. I was just too much for coward to take
- 39:19it. Honestly, yeah. Chiefs I looked it up. Chiefs have had nine one score games this this season.
- 39:27I mean, they could easily be two and nine. That's what's good or two and nine score games. They're
- 39:3411. They could be three and nine. They could be they could be three and they could be the bears.
- 39:40Honestly. Yeah, they could be the bears. Also, another thing you said, like, why don't I believe
- 39:47in the Chargers offense, Kirk Cousins gift drafted that game to them and they scored 17 points.
- 39:52So, okay, here's another thing, though, is that no, like, for real, though, like the Charger,
- 40:01like whoever made this like NFL schedule, I think they kind of hate the Chargers because what was
- 40:07it like the week before they played the Rams? God, where is it? Or no, I'm sorry, the Falcons.
- 40:18Yeah, they played Monday night against the Ravens. And then they have them fly out to Atlanta for a
- 40:28noon start for like a like a player body time like West Coast 10am start. And then there's like,
- 40:38okay, here's your biggest divisional rival two time Super Bowl champ, you know, like on Sunday
- 40:46night football. You know, it's kind of it's kind of it's kind of a shit schedule coming down the
- 40:53pipe for the Ravens or I'm sorry, not the ring, the Chargers. But yeah, I will say, I will say
- 41:02something about just the schedule, not just anyone's specific schedule, but there are just so many
- 41:11divisional games in the later part of this season. Like, come on, guys, let's let's spread this out.
- 41:18This is like when shit gets interesting, though, like this is when, you know, divisions start to
- 41:23get wrapped up. And, you know, this is when things have more implications to, you know,
- 41:31playoff appearances or divisional titles and stuff like that. But I do feel like though,
- 41:38that like there are more teams who are just have all divisional games the rest of the way than
- 41:44I've remembered it saying in a while, because the Titans this week are playing their second
- 41:50divisional game this season. Yeah. And it's we only play I know the Bears are in a similar situation.
- 41:57We played the Colts, right? Colts and who? Oh, and the Texas. Yeah. Yeah. So this is our third,
- 42:03but still it's week 14. I know the Bears are in a similar situation. And there's another
- 42:09folk. There's another AFC team that was kind of like that. But I forget off the top of my head.
- 42:13But yeah, I do feel like it's more just like later in the season, you do get more divisional games
- 42:18because the schedule makes it still a TV show. You want drama. But I do feel like there are a
- 42:24lot more this season than there have been like just stacked up like on a week by week basis than
- 42:30years prior. Yeah. It I don't know. Feels like maybe a little too much. I don't know. I mean,
- 42:40I like it. It makes it a lot more entertaining. But I mean, I don't I don't like it because like
- 42:48Titans are playing the Jags this week. And then we're playing someone else next week. And then
- 42:54we're just playing the Jags again. Like I don't I need some time. I mean, that's kind of what the
- 43:01Steelers Browns are doing too. Like they played two weeks ago. Yeah, it's time. And it's the same
- 43:07thing as Cardinal Seahawks. They played two weeks ago. And they're playing again this week. So yeah,
- 43:12yeah. No, I get what you're saying. I feel like it is kind of repetitive. Yeah, it just doesn't,
- 43:17I don't know. It doesn't feel like much has changed since their last meetings. I don't know.
- 43:23It's it's like, I don't know you. You gotta have points in the season, not just all the points be
- 43:30at the end of the season. I don't know. Okay, well, that's the that's the slate if we don't have
- 43:37anything else to add. Okay, that's the slate moving on to our surefire picks of the week double unit
- 43:46guarantee not to lose. And I am going to throw it to Chris to give out his surefire first.
- 43:54What do you what is what is your pick, Chris? All right. I lost my surefire in brutal fashion
- 44:02last week. Thanks to Matt Jones and the Jacksonville Jaguars. So I am getting revenge this week.
- 44:10And who better to be my soldier than my Tennessee Titans minus three and a half against the shitbag
- 44:20Jacksonville Jaguars. Is this a Homer pick? Yeah, kind of. But I got numbies to back it up.
- 44:27The last 10 years, when the Titans and Jags have played in Nashville, the Titans are nine and one
- 44:34winning those games by an average of 10 points. Even when we were terrible, which we are right now,
- 44:42the Titans beat the Jaguars. That just happens. And I think we beat them this week. And I think
- 44:48we beat them by more than four and they get revenge for what the just the inept Houston Texans
- 44:56cannot do for me last week. The Titans come through, they cover three and a half, they get my
- 45:01revenge, they cash a surefire. Who wants to go next? Sean, what's your surefire play of the week?
- 45:11All right. On the lowest of keys, this could be a sneaky good game from really bad teams.
- 45:22Yeah, it's Jags Titans over 39 and a half. Now let's go.
- 45:27Yeah, I love it. I love it. Yeah. I'm not saying he's good. But but Will Levis has
- 45:39been quietly improving at an impressive rate over these past, you know, a few weeks that he's
- 45:46come back from his injury. He's averaging over eight and a half yards per play or per attempt,
- 45:53I should say, with Pro Bowler and WI and Tony Pollard being in the top 10 of the rushing leaders.
- 46:04The Jaguars defense just may not be able to keep up. This will also be the Titans easiest
- 46:11matchup of the season. Like you said, Chris, it's it's death, taxes and the Titans beating
- 46:18the Jaguars. It's inevitable. But the Titans defense is kind of also in a little bit of a rut.
- 46:26They're in a little bit of shambles. Even against Mac Jones, I think they just aren't clicking.
- 46:33But even with his improvement, Levis is more than likely due for an IT or two. So yeah, let's,
- 46:42I like I said, lowest of keys. This could be a sneaky good game. 39 over 39 and a half all day.
- 46:53Will, what is your surefire double unit guaranteed pick of the week?
- 46:59So I don't have a Titans play to add to the same game paroled. Fantastic.
- 47:04But it is a game that I have previously talked about on this week's show.
- 47:16It's the Falcons plus five and a half. I like this. I really, really like this. This this number
- 47:22here. Like like Chris said, it's if it's at six, I'm hammering this. I'm hammering this.
- 47:30I like them to cover the number here. I like a bounce back game. They're leading the division.
- 47:36The Bucks are slowly starting to get healthy. And like the Bucks have been losing games, but they
- 47:44have been still putting up points. It's still kind of staying semi relevant. Probably the same
- 47:52relevancy as as the Falcons actually probably more because Baker Mayfield is doing everything by
- 47:58himself. They're just not winning all the games. And the Falcons, they got to they got to win this
- 48:06game. I don't think they will, but they were going to try. Damn it. And I love this. I love them to
- 48:11cover plus five and a half or six here. But yeah, that's that's my my double unit play.
- 48:18Okay, that's a those are the surefire picks of the week. And word that was so weird.
- 48:26Two Titans picks. I don't think that's ever been done on the show. No, I'm looking something up.
- 48:34Okay, then I'm going to get into the extra plays of the week. Oh, there we go. Hold on. Okay. Hold
- 48:43on. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah, hold on. You got it. Okay. So I kind of sneaky love this as well.
- 49:02Tennessee Titans over 21 and a half total points. I thought about that. Yeah, I was looking up the
- 49:09team total. If you parlay that with Chris's surefire in my surefire, you come up with a plus 250
- 49:18same game parlay. Can yes, we have to add another leg to that. Oh, the NWI touched it.
- 49:26Automatic automatic. Oh, he's the suit we get. He's top three. Yeah, I know the books are getting
- 49:34wise. Yeah. Plus 650 plus 650 four leg Tennessee Titans over 21 and a half Nick Westbrook,
- 49:42Akinae, any time touchdown score over 39 and a half Tennessee Titans minus three and a half plus
- 49:49650. I might do that. $10 plays pays 75. That number 15 is going to look real pretty hanging
- 50:01in from the rafters and new Nissan State. Yeah, I mean, oh, we don't trade him away.
- 50:08I don't care. He is hit number 15 is retired in my heart right now. He is on an unprecedented run.
- 50:17What is the what is the W stand for again, Chris? Suck my dick. That's what it stands for.
- 50:23I'm a fucking legend every week. I just I can I am addicted to it.
- 50:33Like when you're addicted to gambling. No, I'm addicted to Nick Westbrook and
- 50:38Kine touchdowns. Like even if I wasn't gambling, I would just as a fan, I would need it every week.
- 50:44And I'm getting it every week. And just when this last week, when love has just dropped it right in
- 50:51a bucket, 30 yards out, when I saw 15 just coming up and I was like, oh, this is this is it. Like,
- 50:58I wasn't even worried. Anyone else I'd be like, hey, might drop it, might get better way. I don't
- 51:02know. But no, Nick Westbrook and Kine catches fucking touchdowns doesn't do much else, but we
- 51:07don't need him to do much else. Pro Bowl and WI right. I will say right before that play,
- 51:16sit with Will. And I was like, what the fuck are they doing? Like, yeah, I was like, what are they
- 51:26doing? And then like, he just dropped it into his hands. And I was like, oh, let's go. They just
- 51:35decided to do the touch the NWI touchdown play. Oh, yeah. It's automatic. Yeah. It's awesome.
- 51:43Yeah. NWI, I was getting to it at like plus 1300 earlier this season. It was fun. Yep.
- 51:53It's been plus 180 now plus 185 draft things as of this moment.
- 51:59They've gotten wise. Well, yeah, he's got eight touchdowns. He's tied with Amen,
- 52:04Ross, St. Brown for touchdowns. Of course, they're going to get wise on it.
- 52:09I'm just saying if I get it, if it can stand the 200s, now I gotta start getting a little
- 52:15cute and going first. And that's why I'm going to start losing money.
- 52:19Don't don't do that. Be responsible. You know, just any time you're still going to make money.
- 52:25It should be minus odds if we're being honest. Yeah, but
- 52:30get cute with first touchdowns and two or more touchdowns.
- 52:44Next week, two or more touchdowns plus 1500.
- 52:48See now, that's irresponsible because you only done that like twice.
- 52:51Yeah, that's irresponsible. But first touchdown is 900.
- 52:58Before we get into I know we still have extra play.
- 53:02We got maybe sprinkle Calvin Ridley also to do touchdown.
- 53:05Oh, yes. So that that was probably going to be a day pick for me against his former team.
- 53:14Calvin Ridley's kind of been killing it as of late. He's been putting up yards, dude.
- 53:19He hasn't, you know, he hasn't been putting up. Fuck you. God damn it.
- 53:31He hasn't reached the end zone as much as we like him to. But you know, he's
- 53:37he's been he's been getting some yards on in. They'll target him in the end zone. Like this is
- 53:43like the same way at this point, they're very much targeting and WI on the end zone.
- 53:48They will do that with Calvin Ridley this week on draft Kings, both of them to score. Parley is 850.
- 54:00Do we just add that to the parlay then? Honestly, might have to.
- 54:05Plus 1800. Is that what it is? Yeah. The parlay I mentioned plus Calvin Ridley
- 54:12any time touchdown plus 1800. I'll take. I might I might do that just for fun. I'll probably take it.
- 54:20Yeah. Yeah, let's just. It's the Jags, dude. This is like our Super Bowl. Like this is like a
- 54:26guarantee. Just having a good time. Yeah. I'm just enjoying this conversation. Anyway, we got
- 54:34a extra place. Yeah, we got some extra plays. Okay, extra plays. I'll go first. The two extra
- 54:44plays I got. I actually had the Jags Titans written down the over. So I will be taking that
- 54:51separately outside of the Surefire parlay. And then my only other play is Monday Night Football
- 54:58Bengals at Cowboys over 49 and a half or 48. Well, that's 49 because the Bengals have no defense
- 55:10and they can put. Sunny. Sunny the cat is sunny. Stupid cat.
- 55:22The Bengals have no defense and the Cowboys kind of don't either. They're starting Cooper
- 55:28Rush. He kind of sucks. But if CD lamb can just catch the ball, I don't I think this this over
- 55:37caches easily over on Monday Night Football. That's all I got. Chris. All right. Real quick.
- 55:47Real quick. What's that dude on the Bengals? Is it Hendricks? Doesn't he like lead the league
- 55:55in sacks or something? Like he's got like 13 Hendricks in Hendricks in. Yeah. Yeah. But you
- 56:02got to watch out for him though. And Cooper Rush like
- 56:08be careful. Oh, just to say, yeah, Trey Hendricks. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Hendricks. Yeah.
- 56:13Yeah. But is it my turn? Yeah. Okay. Stupid cat. Sunny. No.
- 56:27All right. Anyway, I got I got I got four extra. One courtesy of Sean. Seox was two and a half
- 56:37taken that also have been those Cowboys over 49 and a half. Just Ryan biggles over until they
- 56:44get me reason not to offense is amazing. Defense is one of the worst I've ever seen. So give me that
- 56:52over Eagles minus 12 against the Panthers. No price young's been looking good. I think it kind of
- 57:00comes to an end right now in biggle. Jesus Christ can't talk Eagles have the best pass defense and
- 57:06football. They also have the best rush offense and football and the Panthers have the worst. So I
- 57:12think they kind of just do whatever they want this game. Sorry, Bryce young written for you.
- 57:16Think you get your shit rocked this week. And the last play of the week. Bears plus four ding
- 57:26dong the bitch is dead. Matt Iberfluss out. See a bozo coaching bump or coaching firing bump.
- 57:34They bears could win this game outright. The 49ers are deader than dead. They are they they
- 57:41can't do anything. It doesn't matter who's quarterback in this team. They can't do anything.
- 57:46Iberfluss not being on this team is incredibly just beneficial. So bears come in this game outright.
- 57:53I'm taking plus four and that is the card. I'm kind of a coward because I thought the same exact
- 58:01thing about the bears like it's like I kind of want to take it but like I don't know like yeah
- 58:09the 49ers can't figure out anything right now but this is I mean the bears want to take it. I just
- 58:17didn't want to take it. The bear should have beat the lot or should have at least gone to
- 58:21Overtown with the Lions. If they can do that if they had a competent coach they probably would have
- 58:28at least gotten field ball range there. If they can go to Overtown with the best team of the one
- 58:34of the best teams the NFC they should be able to beat just the whatever 49ers or at least keep it
- 58:41within four. So yeah I'm taking the bears. I just there's got like they probably like were popping
- 58:50champagne smoking cigars in that locker room when they when it was announced Iberfluss was fired.
- 58:56I it's more of a morale bump than anything so yes bears plus four.
- 59:02Sean what are you what's the rest of your card? All right well I only had two more but now I have
- 59:10four. Yeah Bengals Cowboys over whatever you guys said you made some great points. I didn't have a
- 59:19Monday night pick but I was teetering on that line of you know over but you know these teams kind of
- 59:26suck but Jamar Chase is has like 13 touchdowns or something something insane. Yeah gonna go with the
- 59:34Bears also plus four. I was burned by the you know interim head coach trend earlier this season when
- 59:45I went against the the Saints for the Falcons as my surefire pick but whatever we're gonna move past
- 59:55him we're gonna make up for it from Bears plus four. But yeah Raiders Bucks over 46 and a half
- 1:00:06running it back to a Bucks over and I kind of wish I had been following this as well but
- 1:00:13both teams are eight and four on the over this season so let's keep that rolling. Both teams
- 1:00:19have like you know kind of middle of the road defenses and offenses that you know they they
- 1:00:27produce they can fucking score. They got playmakers. They got playmakers. Yeah Tampa Bay's offense you
- 1:00:35know rebound at home barely winning against the Panthers last week. Aiden O'Connell inner center
- 1:00:44has kind of been more impressive than what Gardner Minshew has been doing his entire life just saying.
- 1:00:53Also worthy to note these last four meetings the over is four and oh so let's keep it rolling.
- 1:01:00And then last play Panthers Eagles over 46. Now they're over for you. Panthers have been kind
- 1:01:08of sneaky good at scoring as of late and the Eagles have scored at least 24 points in their last
- 1:01:15seven games. Panthers also have the worst rushing defense in the NFL. Saquon could go absolutely
- 1:01:23feral on Sunday. He's already the lead league leader in rushing. Yords. All right. I'm just going.
- 1:01:36Panthers Eagles over 46. We're done. Okay.
- 1:01:42Okay. Rushing yards. Okay. What else. What else do we talk about. All right. We only got like
- 1:01:53nine minutes but there was something. I saw something on Twitter that was a it's like you've
- 1:02:03got to be sick for praying for the 49ers downfall. And it was you know that guy like laying in the
- 1:02:09bed you know just like dying basically. Do you guys feel that way or like do you like it.
- 1:02:21I mean this to me this is a team that has been so close for many years and has made
- 1:02:29many Super Bowl appearances and just can't get there. And you kind of like to me you almost
- 1:02:35feel kind of bad but also like this is a historic franchise that has Super Bowls that has championships.
- 1:02:45Do you feel do you feel bad for like their their injury downfall or I don't even know what to call
- 1:02:54it really. It's not really a downfall. It's just it's just unfortunate I guess. I don't necessarily
- 1:03:02necessarily feel bad. Like I don't really sympathize with a team that's been to two Super
- 1:03:08Bowls in four years. Sure. I but I'm not like saying back here like yes they're failing. Like I just
- 1:03:18like I don't it's kind of like whatever. Like I don't love to see it but also I like parody in
- 1:03:27the league so it's nice that they're taking like different shit other it happens taking a step forward.
- 1:03:33Also yeah like your window is not open forever. Like this shit happens. Like I like yeah it's I don't
- 1:03:42know I don't feel sympathy. I don't feel like happy that they're losing right now. It's just kind of
- 1:03:49like whatever honestly. Okay. Like I think the like the whole Brock party thing like you know
- 1:03:55him being Mr. O'Rilvin I think it's a cool story but like they got they got dudes everywhere but
- 1:04:06I mean the injury probably honestly this is the story of the 49ers. They'll go to the Super Bowl
- 1:04:12and then get really injured at the year or or two after and their dog shit. They get another pick
- 1:04:19and it's great. It's another another dude another weapon and then and then they're great again
- 1:04:29and then they then they have it all figured out and so it's it's also kind of like you know they
- 1:04:35have a history of like that like they've won Super Bowls like I don't it'd be different.
- 1:04:40It'd be different. It'd be different if it was like the the the bills or like the Lions like
- 1:04:50because those teams haven't done anything and now that they're good like it's I don't know it's
- 1:05:00I don't feel bad but I don't I'm not happy. I don't know. Yeah it's it's it's just kind of I
- 1:05:06more or less just think of it as like this just kind of happens you know in the NFL where you
- 1:05:13know a team catches kind of an injury bug like they placed Mattensen or not Mattensen what's
- 1:05:20Mason and yeah CMC on IR this week you know CMC's done for the year. Mason he's probably done as well.
- 1:05:33Well it's unfortunate but you know it I wasn't necessarily praying for their downfall also
- 1:05:44nah like like at all but there there are people and you know is we are Titans fans and we are
- 1:05:55AFC you know we we mostly focus on AFC teams who are the bane of our existence like the Bengals the
- 1:06:03bills the Chiefs you know teams that are just constantly beating us and you know if you're a
- 1:06:12Cowboys fan you know you're not in the same division but you you fucking hate the 49ers
- 1:06:18so I mean yeah like I mean I get that there are people that are like praying for this downfall
- 1:06:26but also is it really like it this is just kind of part of the game like also like the
- 1:06:34injuries happen this shit happens all the time yeah and it's just and like Will said like
- 1:06:42that this is the 49ers like script almost where they're bad because they're hurt and then they get a
- 1:06:49guy and then he's amazing and then they're right back in the Super Bowl two years later they'll be
- 1:06:55back like don't Brockford he's gonna get paid he's gonna get paid and he'll be back and watch out
- 1:07:05you know like it might be like we're getting close to Shanahan just camp when when the big one yeah
- 1:07:19like we've been teetering on that for a while now I feel like it's kind of starting to get there it's
- 1:07:23like I just like he's a very good coach I'm not just being that if he got far today 31 other teams
- 1:07:30would fire their coach and heartbeat or they should at least I I just don't know if he can win this
- 1:07:37super and that's a very hard thing to do but when you're in the upper echelon of coaches
- 1:07:42you gotta win a Super Bowl and I don't know I just don't know if he can he's had
- 1:07:49three chances now if you count his OC with the Falcons and just he's blown leads and all
- 1:07:56and I just don't know if he can do it yeah I think it's um it's to those being against
- 1:08:04Patrick Mahomes and the other being against Tom Brady so I do get that it's like a shit draw
- 1:08:10but you had yeah you have leads in all three one being 28 to three yeah win one yeah I mean you
- 1:08:20had three shots yeah yeah third time obviously not the charm so all right fellas I'm gonna wrap this up
