Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, presented by Draft Kings. The Crown
- 0:13Speaker 1: is yours. Happy Thursday. NFL Week eleven is here. I'm
- 0:17Speaker 1: Brandon Kravitz, joined by my two faves, the Prime Minister
- 0:20Speaker 1: of Degenerate Nations, Stucky and the Queen of the Pod,
- 0:24Speaker 1: Miss Kendra Middleton. On today's episode, we're gonna submit our
- 0:27Speaker 1: official plays of the week. We've got our stat of
- 0:30Speaker 1: the day, two Kings and a Queen Parlay. National Pickle
- 0:35Speaker 1: Day is tomorrow, so of course we've got Kendra's pickle
- 0:37Speaker 1: prop action under distraction. We've got fun, fun on top
- 0:40Speaker 1: of fun, and hopefully some winning picks along the way.
- 0:44Speaker 1: The Thursday Night Football line continues to tilt the way
- 0:47Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. We said on Tuesday it
- 0:51Speaker 1: was Pat's minus eleven and a half or pass, so
- 0:54Speaker 1: if you wanted New England, hopefully you got in on
- 0:56Speaker 1: that early. Let's kick things off with Evan Abrams Shrimp.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Unbelievable stat of the week, straight from the primer. Both teams,
- 1:04Speaker 1: in terms of the Seahawks and the Rams seven and
- 1:07Speaker 1: two entering this game in Week eleven, both teams covering
- 1:11Speaker 1: at a rate of seventy seven percent as well. First
- 1:14Speaker 1: time since nineteen ninety that we've had two teams with
- 1:17Speaker 1: a cover rate that high play against each other. After
- 1:20Speaker 1: Week ten, Sean mcvayh eleven and two ats against Seattle
- 1:25Speaker 1: in their last thirteen matchups. But this Seattle team feels different.
- 1:30Speaker 1: They are so good Seahawks now with three point dog though,
- 1:34Speaker 1: So it looks like money's coming in on the Rams. Stucky.
- 1:36Speaker 1: How did we get here with this number? This feels
- 1:40Speaker 1: like such an even matchup. The Rams don't have this
- 1:43Speaker 1: historically great home field advantage, and yet the number continues
- 1:47Speaker 1: to tilt in their direction.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Yeah, just a lot, just sharper. Money came in on
- 1:53Speaker 2: the Rams. That's pretty much what's gonna move the line
- 1:57Speaker 2: other than injury news. During the week of the NFL
- 1:59Speaker 2: S I I would at over three. I would look
- 2:05Speaker 2: at Seattle. I'm just really looking forward to this game.
- 2:08Speaker 2: There's not been many like just amazing games the NFL
- 2:12Speaker 2: this season. There's just so many bad teams. This week,
- 2:15Speaker 2: we have a couple of games where you're like, all right,
- 2:17Speaker 2: I need to tune in for this, and I think
- 2:18Speaker 2: that they'll live up to the hype. I could I
- 2:22Speaker 2: could make a case that the You know, I talked
- 2:24Speaker 2: about this last week that the Rams defense might be
- 2:27Speaker 2: a little overrated statistically. I mean over the last month
- 2:31Speaker 2: and a half. Right, they should have given up thirty
- 2:34Speaker 2: to the Colts at home, They had the drop at
- 2:36Speaker 2: the one, they had the tailor touchdown called back. They
- 2:39Speaker 2: are carved up by Matt Jones twice. And then if
- 2:42Speaker 2: you look at their other games, you know, they played
- 2:45Speaker 2: Cooper Rush when they played the Ravens, they played Tyler
- 2:48Speaker 2: Schuck in the Saints, so they've benefited from some of
- 2:51Speaker 2: their opponents. I think that that secondary is attackable. We'll
- 2:54Speaker 2: see if Sam Darnold can have more success against the
- 2:58Speaker 2: Rams than he did last year in Minnesota. A completely
- 3:01Speaker 2: different offense, but that's how his season ended last year,
- 3:05Speaker 2: and we also saw him struggle during the regular season.
- 3:09Speaker 3: But I.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Could also make the case that Seattle's defense is a
- 3:15Speaker 2: bit underrated because they played a good chunk of the
- 3:19Speaker 2: season with a lot of secondary injuries, and they've had
- 3:22Speaker 2: some guys step up. They've gotten a bit healthier on
- 3:25Speaker 2: the back end. It's a ferocious defensive line. They can
- 3:28Speaker 2: get pressure without blitzing. Coach by Mike McDonald, I mean
- 3:33Speaker 2: just the x's and o's matchup between McVeigh and McDonald.
- 3:37Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to there. But yeah, I don't
- 3:41Speaker 2: have these teams too far. Apart as far as power
- 3:45Speaker 2: ratings are concerned, the Rams offense is a machine right now,
- 3:50Speaker 2: so I could only look at Seattle. But as of
- 3:55Speaker 2: right now, I haven't gotten to the window yet.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I bet Seattle early because I thought the same thing
- 4:00Speaker 1: last week when we were having the argument about the
- 4:02Speaker 1: Packers and the Eagles. I thought, no way that number
- 4:06Speaker 1: touches three on Philadelphia. I thought the same thing going
- 4:09Speaker 1: into this one, and it looks like it might end
- 4:12Speaker 1: up closing it three and a half. So I'm sitting
- 4:14Speaker 1: on a pretty bad number here at two and a
- 4:15Speaker 1: half on Seattle. But I still like Seattle in this game,
- 4:20Speaker 1: just looking at it opinion wise, but not ahead of
- 4:23Speaker 1: it in terms of the market. Read Kendra, this is
- 4:25Speaker 1: easily the game of the week for me. Are you
- 4:28Speaker 1: an agreement there?
- 4:29Speaker 4: Yeah? I think it has to be.
- 4:31Speaker 5: I also lean Seahawks in this game haven't gotten to
- 4:34Speaker 5: the window I did here. This morning, I was listening
- 4:37Speaker 5: to a podcast that there's expected to be a massive
- 4:40Speaker 5: Seattle crowd show up for this I mean, the Seahawks
- 4:43Speaker 5: fans travel well in general, the team is good, LA
- 4:46Speaker 5: doesn't really have a ton of their own fans. I
- 4:49Speaker 5: think that there could be a heavy Seahawks crowd here,
- 4:52Speaker 5: so I think that that's something to pay attention to
- 4:54Speaker 5: as well. These are my two favorite teams in the
- 4:57Speaker 5: entire NFL together, so I think that there's no way anyone.
- 5:01Speaker 4: But me could say that this is my game of
- 5:03Speaker 4: the week.
- 5:04Speaker 1: The public percentages heavily on the side of the dog.
- 5:08Speaker 3: No surprise.
- 5:09Speaker 1: When you have two teams that are this good and
- 5:11Speaker 1: you've got one that's catching points, obviously people are going
- 5:15Speaker 1: to gravitate towards that side. Seventy four percent of the
- 5:18Speaker 1: bets seventy nine percent of the money on Seattle right now,
- 5:22Speaker 1: But the number continues to tilt the way of the Rams.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So if you're just looking at this sharp analysis, wise
- 5:28Speaker 1: it looks like the Rams are the smarter side, but
- 5:32Speaker 1: as we know in the NFL, doesn't necessarily mean that
- 5:35Speaker 1: they're going to win and cover all Right, stuck, you
- 5:37Speaker 1: what do you got? Let's dive into the weird, random,
- 5:40Speaker 1: bizarre world of the thoughts that live inside of your brain.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Hey, this is a dumb question. Let me ask you
- 5:47Speaker 3: a personal question kind.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Of question is that is question?
- 5:52Speaker 2: I saw we we minted the last penny and at
- 5:57Speaker 2: the two hundred and thirty years production is ended. Some
- 6:00Speaker 2: people collect coins, So my question for you is what
- 6:05Speaker 2: do you collect anything? And if so, what I know
- 6:08Speaker 2: that Kendra probably will answer random animals or shrimp. But Kendra,
- 6:15Speaker 2: I'll start with you. Do you collect Do you have
- 6:17Speaker 2: any weird collections?
- 6:19Speaker 4: Coins? Actually? Uh so, yeah, yeah, I like to what
- 6:24Speaker 4: I don't get.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Change very often, but every coin has like like obviously
- 6:28Speaker 5: like a marking to differentiate when it was made in
- 6:31Speaker 5: that type of thing and the year on it. So
- 6:32Speaker 5: when you look at a coin, there's like a D
- 6:34Speaker 5: marking or a C marking or whatever, and that can
- 6:37Speaker 5: also mean.
- 6:37Speaker 4: It's more valuable.
- 6:38Speaker 5: So I just like to like look at coins when
- 6:40Speaker 5: I get them and see what they're currently worth, if
- 6:42Speaker 5: they're super old or like a manu like they had
- 6:46Speaker 5: like a manufacturing issue or something like that that makes
- 6:48Speaker 5: them more valuable. And then I also have I guess
- 6:53Speaker 5: animals would be one. And then I collect trinkets from
- 6:55Speaker 5: like a little like a country I go to.
- 6:57Speaker 4: I get like a little really weird random like animal trinket.
- 7:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I had a Funko Pop collection going for a while,
- 7:06Speaker 1: but I had to cut that off. He was getting
- 7:07Speaker 1: a little expensive. And now I just have a drawer
- 7:10Speaker 1: in my garage. I can't get rid of them. There's
- 7:12Speaker 1: just a ton of Funko pops. And we were talking
- 7:15Speaker 1: about everything from like Ninja Turtles, pro wrestling, entertainment, characters
- 7:21Speaker 1: from the Office and things like that.
- 7:23Speaker 3: But the one for me that you don't know what.
- 7:27Speaker 1: It's like a bobble head that does. You can't pull
- 7:30Speaker 1: up a picture for him.
- 7:31Speaker 3: You've got to see this.
- 7:32Speaker 4: You definitely know what they are.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Tiny bodies, big head, little figure you put on the
- 7:38Speaker 1: shelf in my house.
- 7:40Speaker 3: I would grab one right now, but I'm I'm at
- 7:42Speaker 3: the office doing the show. They do have.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I have Evan Andrew Luck Funko Pop. I've got an
- 7:48Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, there you go.
- 7:52Speaker 4: You see these?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've seen them.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Okay, But every state that I go to I get
- 7:57Speaker 1: a magnet. It has to be purchased. My rule is
- 7:59Speaker 1: that it has to be purchased inside of the state.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I can't buy it online after the fact, just because
- 8:04Speaker 1: I find a better one, and it has to be
- 8:06Speaker 1: something that is identifiable to the state itself. It can't
- 8:10Speaker 1: just be one of those from like a Flying J
- 8:14Speaker 1: gas station. It's got to be something super unique to
- 8:17Speaker 1: that state. So you like in Kentucky, I've got one
- 8:20Speaker 1: that's a it's a horse stuff like that your neck
- 8:24Speaker 1: of the woods Stucky.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Guess.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I collect bourbon for our basement bar. But my favorite
- 8:33Speaker 2: thing to collect is books, like I have. I actually just.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Got How did I never notice until right now that
- 8:39Speaker 1: you have a million books behind it?
- 8:43Speaker 3: You're a fucking library.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I have a thousand and fifty I think I.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Have you read all of those?
- 8:51Speaker 2: Yeah? Not right now, but in the spring, as soon
- 8:54Speaker 2: as college basketball is over. In summer, I try to
- 8:57Speaker 2: read like thirty forty books in the offseason. I am
- 9:02Speaker 2: not I think all, but maybe ten or nonfiction. So yeah,
- 9:09Speaker 2: I have. I think I have like eight full book
- 9:11Speaker 2: shelves and bookcases in my house all filled up. I
- 9:17Speaker 2: cannot read on my phone. I cannot read it.
- 9:19Speaker 5: On a tablet, I can't nothing electronics.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Having the actual yeah, the sacond book. I love collecting.
- 9:25Speaker 2: I love showing people. I love giving people books when
- 9:28Speaker 2: they come over and I'm like and they're like, what
- 9:29Speaker 2: do you like to read? And I'll just lend it
- 9:31Speaker 2: to them and then never get it back.
- 9:32Speaker 1: But what's your favorite category of book? Is it history?
- 9:38Speaker 2: History, non fiction, sports, anything nonfiction, anything about like any
- 9:44Speaker 2: random topic. Like these books right here we have. This
- 9:48Speaker 2: is a Vietnam marine memoir, River of Doubt. This is
- 9:53Speaker 2: UH about Roosevelt's trip down the Amazon Destiny disrupted. This
- 10:00Speaker 2: is history of the world through Islamic guy. Some people
- 10:04Speaker 2: need killing. It's about the Philippines and them killing uh
- 10:09Speaker 2: like just na naming everyone, saying, calling everyone a drug
- 10:12Speaker 2: dealer and killing everyone with their.
- 10:14Speaker 4: This is so endearing, you guys, so cute.
- 10:17Speaker 1: We need an entire episode on this in the off season.
- 10:21Speaker 3: This is killing.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Giant steps is cool. This is the guy who went
- 10:25Speaker 2: from walked all around the world and like just about
- 10:29Speaker 2: all stops.
- 10:31Speaker 5: This is the same energy as when some reporter asked
- 10:33Speaker 5: Bill Belichick if he liked Christmas and he like smiled
- 10:36Speaker 5: and he was like he liked Christmas music and he
- 10:39Speaker 5: just smiled and he's like, I love all the songs.
- 10:40Speaker 4: They're my favorite.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Like this is like how I feel watching Stucky with
- 10:43Speaker 5: his books right now.
- 10:45Speaker 2: This is got King Leopold, Colonial Africa. Same with this
- 10:51Speaker 2: another Colonial Africa, American Revolutions. Carthage must be Destroyed. I've
- 10:56Speaker 2: heard that's really good one on the history of slavery.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Another anti communist book. So yeah, that's that's what I
- 11:05Speaker 2: collect and I have. So anyone's like, oh, I like
- 11:08Speaker 2: I like this topic, I'm like, oh, I got a
- 11:09Speaker 2: book about that. So that's my favorite thing to collect.
- 11:12Speaker 4: It's literally built Belichick right now.
- 11:15Speaker 2: It's not losing losing betting tickets that collect this.
- 11:18Speaker 3: That was, of course all we all do. You know,
- 11:20Speaker 3: That's that's how we got here.
- 11:22Speaker 1: But of those great stuff, time for action or distraction,
- 11:27Speaker 1: this is distracted static.
- 11:28Speaker 4: I'm not stacking.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I want it on the action.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Brian Day ball fired.
- 11:35Speaker 1: The Giants have an interim head coach, Mike Kafka be
- 11:39Speaker 1: stepping up Jameis Winston at quarterback, just like Kendra was
- 11:42Speaker 1: asking for.
- 11:43Speaker 6: I'm on fans of No Dad. I'm gonna do my best,
- 11:45Speaker 6: you know, off Sally. I'm gonna have fun, but I'm
- 11:48Speaker 6: going to execute, uh, have a surgical execution. Uh and
- 11:52Speaker 6: just and just play ball, man, Like this is something
- 11:54Speaker 6: I've been doing since I've been four years old and
- 11:56Speaker 6: I just get to do it in the greatest city
- 11:58Speaker 6: in the world. I'm gonna be saying with my son,
- 12:01Speaker 6: it's the greatest city in the world. Yeah, that's a
- 12:04Speaker 6: Hamlets in reference, if y'ah. I don't know.
- 12:06Speaker 1: And the line has been bet down from Packers to
- 12:08Speaker 1: minus they're minus eight at the beginning of the week.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Their minus six and a half right now, Kendra, action
- 12:14Speaker 1: or distraction on betting the g Men.
- 12:17Speaker 4: I think it's a distraction. I can't this game feels.
- 12:21Speaker 5: I think the Packers might actually be okay in the
- 12:24Speaker 5: stratch of it, but this current, like right now version
- 12:27Speaker 5: of the Packers kind of hot garbage, Booty Cheeks bad,
- 12:31Speaker 5: not in a good way. Booty Cheeks, they're not good.
- 12:34Speaker 5: And the Giants they're frisky and they're fun. And I
- 12:37Speaker 5: think they like each other, which is so lame and
- 12:40Speaker 5: stupid to say, but I think they like each other.
- 12:41Speaker 4: They play for each other every week.
- 12:43Speaker 5: I also am still not completely out on the idea
- 12:47Speaker 5: of backing a team after their coach gets fired.
- 12:51Speaker 4: I can't. I want to be there, but both of
- 12:55Speaker 4: these teams, just neither side of it really intrigues me
- 12:58Speaker 4: enough yeah.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Uh hard to fall in love with the Giants in
- 13:02Speaker 1: their current state. Are you are you gonna throw any
- 13:04Speaker 1: money to this is? This is the kind of dog
- 13:06Speaker 1: that usually bet stuck here. Are you in on the Giants?
- 13:09Speaker 2: No, I'm not quite there. There are there are I
- 13:11Speaker 2: do know of some sharp groups and people that did
- 13:14Speaker 2: bet the Giants, especially at over a touchdown. I mean
- 13:22Speaker 2: the Packers are beat up on offense, and the Avengers,
- 13:26Speaker 2: I mean, like the Craft injury, the Jenkins injury, They're
- 13:29Speaker 2: not healthy a wide receiver. Their offense right now is
- 13:32Speaker 2: just trying to find an identity and it's not and
- 13:37Speaker 2: it's not an overly reliable unit right now that you
- 13:41Speaker 2: want to be laying a touchdown plus with on the road.
- 13:44Speaker 2: With that said, I you know, even if they just
- 13:48Speaker 2: go hand it off the Jacobs too much, which they
- 13:51Speaker 2: can do at times, that should work. The Giants have
- 13:54Speaker 2: the worst run defense in the league. But I just
- 13:57Speaker 2: don't know what I'm I'm going to get from Jamis Winston.
- 14:00Speaker 2: He is he is super high variants. It's better than
- 14:04Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. We were saying, you gotta start Jamis here,
- 14:08Speaker 2: and like he's going to make some explosive throws. He's
- 14:15Speaker 2: going to try to make things happen with his arm,
- 14:17Speaker 2: but he also could throw three pick sixes. He's also
- 14:20Speaker 2: going to give the ball on the other team, and
- 14:22Speaker 2: this Packers defense is playing at a high level. Plus
- 14:25Speaker 2: you have to like change your entire offense. So maybe
- 14:30Speaker 2: that can work in their favor, because that's one of
- 14:32Speaker 2: the things that happens with the new coach. Right that
- 14:35Speaker 2: first game. You have new wrinkles, you showcase new things
- 14:39Speaker 2: that the other team doesn't have on film. But this
- 14:43Speaker 2: has to be a complete one eight. Like Dark's legs
- 14:47Speaker 2: were essentially an enormous part of the offense since he
- 14:53Speaker 2: took over, that's not really going to be a thing
- 14:56Speaker 2: with Jamis. So I'm curious to see what the offense
- 15:00Speaker 2: looks like this So I can't get there. I didn't
- 15:03Speaker 2: lay with the job, I didn't lay with the Packers,
- 15:05Speaker 2: but I can't quite get there on the Giants. There's
- 15:08Speaker 2: just too much uncertainty with what this offense looks like
- 15:11Speaker 2: and the fact that Green Bay should just be able
- 15:13Speaker 2: to run the ball, and there's probably gonna be some
- 15:16Speaker 2: Jamis turnovers that might end up being the difference in
- 15:20Speaker 2: the game.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Evan I know you wrote about this and the primer
- 15:24Speaker 1: Jordan Love as a favorite north of a field goal
- 15:28Speaker 1: has not been profitable.
- 15:30Speaker 3: What's the exact number on that?
- 15:32Speaker 2: And Jamis is a dog of overfield goal. I think
- 15:34Speaker 2: it's been like really good.
- 15:36Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean just looking at it right now, six
- 15:38Speaker 7: points or more. He's two and seven against the spread.
- 15:43Speaker 7: But that's like career, You've had some decent losses in
- 15:46Speaker 7: that spot. But even if you look, Packers zero to
- 15:49Speaker 7: five against the spread this season in favored by four
- 15:51Speaker 7: points or more, which honestly doesn't happen a lot because
- 15:54Speaker 7: once you start losing once or twice, is that big
- 15:56Speaker 7: of a favorite, you tend not to get that respect again.
- 16:00Speaker 7: So twenty twenty one Ravens which stuck. You might remember
- 16:03Speaker 7: Ohn five ats is four plus point favorites to ten
- 16:06Speaker 7: weeks as well, but just kind of id that you
- 16:08Speaker 7: have that type of respect.
- 16:10Speaker 8: And again this week.
- 16:11Speaker 7: On the road, so also kind of the spot with
- 16:13Speaker 7: the Giants, but I agree with stucky Jamis gives them
- 16:16Speaker 7: a better chance to win and lose the game, so
- 16:19Speaker 7: it should be fun.
- 16:20Speaker 1: A nice little nugget from Nick Giffin's luck rankings. Philadelphia's
- 16:23Speaker 1: offense has generated just nineteen and a half points per
- 16:26Speaker 1: game in four games against top ten defenses by DVOA
- 16:31Speaker 1: just eighteen points by expected score action or distractions. Stucky
- 16:36Speaker 1: on Philly team total under twenty four and a half
- 16:39Speaker 1: as a smart play this week.
- 16:42Speaker 2: I don't mind it that. I mean just that the
- 16:44Speaker 2: Eagles offense is they are who they are at this
- 16:48Speaker 2: point and they come out of the buy and it's
- 16:52Speaker 2: more of the same. The offensive line they're not fully healthy.
- 16:57Speaker 2: They've taken a step back from last year, so Barkley
- 16:59Speaker 2: can't really going and there's just no creativity with the
- 17:04Speaker 2: offensive play calling. I don't think it's going to ultimately
- 17:08Speaker 2: work out with Patola, and I think it's eventually going
- 17:11Speaker 2: to cost them in the playoffs. There's no motion, there's
- 17:15Speaker 2: no play action. I mean there's it's just all shotgun
- 17:19Speaker 2: and I mean, look at there's they're not there's no
- 17:21Speaker 2: screen game. There's nothing to like really challenge opposing defenses.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Who when you watch them like you watch the Packers
- 17:30Speaker 2: lose this. If the Packers knew every play that was coming,
- 17:33Speaker 2: and I mean throughout that entire game, they basically had
- 17:36Speaker 2: two good plays on offense. They had to dump off
- 17:39Speaker 2: the Barkley in a long pass to Devonte Smith. There's
- 17:43Speaker 2: there's just not much to like about this offense right now.
- 17:47Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean the Eagles are just until further notice,
- 17:50Speaker 2: they're an under team, and and they think every week
- 17:55Speaker 2: it's almost every week unless they're playing like the Giants
- 17:57Speaker 2: who can't stop the run. It seems like almost every
- 18:00Speaker 2: week there's like a quarter or two or like almost
- 18:03Speaker 2: an entire half where they just don't score. So it's
- 18:06Speaker 2: hard to score more than twenty four points in the
- 18:09Speaker 2: NFL when you don't score for an entire half every
- 18:14Speaker 2: other week. And would I would imagine that the Eagles.
- 18:19Speaker 2: And the other thing is that if they're up on Detroit,
- 18:23Speaker 2: when they get up on anybody, they're a team that
- 18:26Speaker 2: can just go on these long clock bleeding drives, you know,
- 18:32Speaker 2: and just eat up eight to ten minutes in the
- 18:34Speaker 2: second half when they get a lead. So I don't
- 18:38Speaker 2: mind that. Look, there's there's still major problems with this
- 18:41Speaker 2: Philadelphia offense for sure.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Kendrillya to AJ Brown saying that you can go ahead
- 18:48Speaker 1: and drop me in fantasy. I don't know that I'm
- 18:50Speaker 1: willing to go that far, But what do you make
- 18:53Speaker 1: of that.
- 18:54Speaker 5: And I actually almost sent someone I know an offer
- 19:00Speaker 5: for him, just as a joke in my personal fantasy
- 19:02Speaker 5: football league, just to see if they would actually believe
- 19:06Speaker 5: him and give him to me for cheap.
- 19:07Speaker 1: But I just a offer, I know something, did you
- 19:10Speaker 1: try and trade a kicker something.
- 19:12Speaker 5: I was just gonna offer him something stupid like facial touton.
- 19:14Speaker 5: But I didn't wind up doing it because I didn't
- 19:16Speaker 5: think that the person who had him kind of would
- 19:18Speaker 5: get the joke.
- 19:19Speaker 4: They don't follow sports as closely as the rest of.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Us in the league, so I didn't think that it
- 19:23Speaker 5: would be as funny. But yeah, that's I think that
- 19:26Speaker 5: that's maybe he will actually catch touchdown this week. Maybe
- 19:29Speaker 5: it's smok a mirror's maybe that's his way of being like,
- 19:31Speaker 5: don't drop me, actually bet on me. That would be
- 19:33Speaker 5: how I would look at it, because I'm insane. But yeah,
- 19:36Speaker 5: I kind of agree with everything Stuckie said. I just
- 19:39Speaker 5: this team on offense goes at maybe you know what,
- 19:42Speaker 5: maybe it's the Madden curse.
- 19:44Speaker 4: That's where we're at.
- 19:45Speaker 5: It is not just cursing the player this year, it's
- 19:47Speaker 5: cursing their entire offense. That's where I'm at that's my
- 19:49Speaker 5: final answer. Is the end done.
- 19:51Speaker 1: One of the bets that I made this week was
- 19:54Speaker 1: a sprinkle on a tray McBride anytime touchdown Marvin Harrison
- 19:59Speaker 1: Junior is out.
- 20:00Speaker 3: We love the tight.
- 20:01Speaker 1: End touchdown props, Kendra action or distraction on that?
- 20:04Speaker 3: Are you in or out on my McBride prop action?
- 20:09Speaker 4: You guys know that I love the tight end props.
- 20:11Speaker 5: I'm actually gonna maybe give one out in a minute
- 20:14Speaker 5: here with my pickle prop.
- 20:15Speaker 4: But I love, love, love a tight end.
- 20:17Speaker 5: I was actually looking at this earlier this morning because
- 20:21Speaker 5: of the Marvin Harrison Junior situation and the price just
- 20:24Speaker 5: was not where I wanted it to be. But I'm
- 20:26Speaker 5: totally behind this. He's the only other answer that they have.
- 20:29Speaker 5: This offense looks a lot better, looked a lot better
- 20:31Speaker 5: last week in comparison to weeks prior. You could argue
- 20:35Speaker 5: that I guess, but I am all in on the
- 20:38Speaker 5: train McBride. You guys know I love a tight end.
- 20:40Speaker 5: I love a kicker, and I love a left tackle.
- 20:42Speaker 5: So you can get into the window on pretty much
- 20:44Speaker 5: Eddie tight end prop if you present it to me.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Interesting question coming in from production here has anyone on
- 20:50Speaker 1: the show had their appendix removed.
- 20:52Speaker 3: I have not.
- 20:53Speaker 4: I don't have a gall bladder, stucky.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Have you had any organs removed?
- 20:57Speaker 2: Ah? Not that I know, So I don't know. Maybe
- 21:04Speaker 2: during a bad vendor someone took something, but not that
- 21:09Speaker 2: I know of. No, but that does say it sounds painful.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It does.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I like the McBride look. Also, on the Action Eric podcast,
- 21:16Speaker 2: we talked about Raybon and I like Dortch as well.
- 21:21Speaker 2: He's going to get increased. Looks like the Cardinals are
- 21:24Speaker 2: decimated at wide receiver still even at plus three, I
- 21:28Speaker 2: would I could only look their way, just because the
- 21:30Speaker 2: forty nine Ers defense right now is it's a sieve.
- 21:35Speaker 2: It can't It's not gonna stop anyone. I don't care who, who,
- 21:37Speaker 2: what type of offense you're playing. But we'll see how
- 21:41Speaker 2: healthy Arizona's defense is. That's important too. Oh and by
- 21:45Speaker 2: the way, I should mention that McBride has scored five
- 21:49Speaker 2: touchdowns in four games with Versette and five touchdowns in
- 21:53Speaker 2: thirty nine games with Murray. That's insane. The same amount
- 21:58Speaker 2: of touchdowns in thirty five fewer games with Persett, who
- 22:01Speaker 2: clearly looks his way and he's clearly going to get
- 22:04Speaker 2: a increased target share this week, especially in the red zone.
- 22:09Speaker 3: I would imagine what about Lamar Jackson.
- 22:12Speaker 1: I am growing concerned with him because he missed all
- 22:16Speaker 1: this time. I know it's just a Wednesday practice and
- 22:20Speaker 1: a lot of stars sit that one out, but he
- 22:23Speaker 1: didn't practice.
- 22:23Speaker 3: It was undisclosed reasons.
- 22:25Speaker 1: There's a chance for bad weather thirty five mile per
- 22:27Speaker 1: hour wind gusts off of Lake Erie in Cleveland. Are
- 22:32Speaker 1: you buying brownstock? I think stuck here. I think I
- 22:34Speaker 1: saw you put them in the app if I'm not mistaken.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Are you on the Browns this week?
- 22:39Speaker 2: I am?
- 22:40Speaker 3: Is that one you're going to tee up to us
- 22:42Speaker 3: for the parlay? Yeah?
- 22:44Speaker 2: I mean I could see it up now and just
- 22:45Speaker 2: mention it later. I mean, essentially, the Browns at home
- 22:52Speaker 2: I almost bet as a dog. I almost bet, and
- 22:55Speaker 2: I bet him as a favorite. I've bet them at
- 22:56Speaker 2: home every game this year. They only played three home games.
- 22:58Speaker 2: They haven't been at home in a month, which is
- 23:01Speaker 2: pretty crazy. They went overseas, then they went to Pittsburgh,
- 23:06Speaker 2: and then they crushed Miami. But they've only had three
- 23:08Speaker 2: home games, and by the way, they went three and
- 23:14Speaker 2: oo against spreading those games over. This is a crazy stat.
- 23:18Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't read Evans primer yet this week.
- 23:23Speaker 2: But the Browns this their defense. I talk about this
- 23:27Speaker 2: all the time. Their defense at home is historically good
- 23:31Speaker 2: and it's been one of the best units in the
- 23:33Speaker 2: NFL offense or defense over the past three seasons. They
- 23:38Speaker 2: just play up and it doesn't matter who they play.
- 23:41Speaker 2: I mean, this year they should have beat Burrow. They
- 23:43Speaker 2: held the Bengals offense to seventeen. They beat love In,
- 23:46Speaker 2: the Packers, they held them to ten, they beat the Dolphins,
- 23:49Speaker 2: held them the three and over the past three seasons
- 23:54Speaker 2: at home, the Browns are thirteen and eight against the
- 23:57Speaker 2: spread sixty two percent on the road five and seventeen
- 24:03Speaker 2: twenty two point seven percent. It's the worst in the league.
- 24:06Speaker 2: It's worse than the Titans, who never cover five and
- 24:08Speaker 2: seventeen against the spread. On the road, They've been a
- 24:11Speaker 2: They've been a touchdown plus underdog at home three times
- 24:15Speaker 2: over the past three years. They not only cover them all,
- 24:18Speaker 2: they won them all out right.
- 24:19Speaker 3: They beat the.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Packers are this year, they beat the Ravens last year,
- 24:23Speaker 2: and they beat the forty nine ers last year. So
- 24:25Speaker 2: this this is gonna be a super low scoring game.
- 24:27Speaker 2: It's gonna be weather wins, and that's not great for
- 24:31Speaker 2: Lamar's hamstring. Did I just think he didn't practice could
- 24:34Speaker 2: precautionate reasons, but he didn't. He didn't have the same
- 24:37Speaker 2: He took a lot of the hams knee.
- 24:41Speaker 4: It was, but it matters. I just think it was
- 24:43Speaker 4: a little bit about injury.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Yeah, He's just he just doesn't have the same burst
- 24:48Speaker 2: right now, the same explosiveness that I was expecting after
- 24:51Speaker 2: the extended rest following the Miami game. So and his
- 24:55Speaker 2: legs are such a huge part of everything that he
- 24:58Speaker 2: can do. And if the weather here is going to
- 25:01Speaker 2: neutralize some of the downfield passing attack, and you know
- 25:04Speaker 2: that the Browns can stop the run. I mean, Derek
- 25:06Speaker 2: Henry couldn't even get a yard in the first matchup,
- 25:08Speaker 2: and they'll get after the quarterback. And without Lamar's capability,
- 25:11Speaker 2: and with the weather impacting the downfield passing attack, that's
- 25:14Speaker 2: a huge advantage for the Browns who don't have a
- 25:17Speaker 2: downfield passing attack. Everything they want to do is run,
- 25:20Speaker 2: which you can do on this Ravens team. You know
- 25:23Speaker 2: they're without with their defensive line injuries, you can run
- 25:25Speaker 2: on them, short passes and throws to the tight end,
- 25:28Speaker 2: which again some of the things that the Ravens struggle with.
- 25:31Speaker 2: So I think this is a decent matchup for the Browns.
- 25:32Speaker 2: You'll get their best effort, and just in a game
- 25:37Speaker 2: where with a total that you know there might not
- 25:40Speaker 2: be thirty one total points in this game, taking over
- 25:42Speaker 2: a touchdown with the home dog is always going to
- 25:45Speaker 2: be intriguing. So yeah, I think the conditions and a
- 25:48Speaker 2: lot of the matchup things favor the raid favor of
- 25:51Speaker 2: the Browns here. So I took the Browns at home
- 25:54Speaker 2: or you know their defense is going to come to play.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Some of that home field advantage stuff, I think that
- 26:00Speaker 1: that's mitigated by the fact that this is a division games.
- 26:03Speaker 1: When I think about the Browns, the home field advantage
- 26:06Speaker 1: they've had over the last couple of years, a lot
- 26:09Speaker 1: of these upset wins and great performances they've had, off
- 26:13Speaker 1: the top of my head, have been against teams like
- 26:15Speaker 1: the Packers, like the forty nine ers. Does that lessen
- 26:20Speaker 1: the home field advantage because it's Baltimore, because they're used
- 26:23Speaker 1: to that environment.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Now, I mean a couple of the upsets they've have
- 26:27Speaker 2: been over the Ravens at home. I've been to a
- 26:29Speaker 2: couple of those games. I mean last last year they
- 26:30Speaker 2: beat the Ravens is ten point dogs, I believe. And
- 26:36Speaker 2: part of the reason is not only is their defense.
- 26:38Speaker 2: I can't explain why their defense plays so well at home.
- 26:42Speaker 2: It's got to be but to get conditions to help.
- 26:45Speaker 2: And the Browns offense is not an explosive offense. It
- 26:49Speaker 2: hasn't been for years. It's not a good offense, especially
- 26:51Speaker 2: this year. So in that stadium when you get the
- 26:55Speaker 2: heavy wins and just miserable weather and then the field
- 27:00Speaker 2: all of that slow. Usually when they're when they're a
- 27:02Speaker 2: big underdog, well that means the other team usually has
- 27:05Speaker 2: a good offense that's going to help stunt the opposing
- 27:10Speaker 2: offense and boost their defense. So that's probably part of it.
- 27:13Speaker 2: And that's certainly the case with the Ravens. The Ravens
- 27:15Speaker 2: have a very explosive offense, and you know, with the
- 27:19Speaker 2: dealing with the hamstring and the cold win rain, like,
- 27:23Speaker 2: I'm sure Lamar is going to be extra cautious here
- 27:25Speaker 2: against that defense, so you're not going to get his
- 27:27Speaker 2: full I don't think you think he's at one hundred percent,
- 27:30Speaker 2: But I don't think you're going to get even him
- 27:32Speaker 2: trying to. You probably get him throwing it away. More
- 27:35Speaker 2: Ravens maybe being a little bit more conservative, knowing they
- 27:38Speaker 2: don't have to put up a huge number here to
- 27:40Speaker 2: beat the Browns. So but now I think I think
- 27:43Speaker 2: it still has the same effect on the Ravens due
- 27:46Speaker 2: to the conditions. Now the familiarity, like in general home
- 27:51Speaker 2: field advantage in divisional games is less, Like when I
- 27:54Speaker 2: sign home field, it'll be less for divisional games because
- 27:56Speaker 2: you have familiarity with just a small home field, and
- 28:00Speaker 2: advantage in the NFL's diminishing each and every year. But
- 28:03Speaker 2: just having familiarity with like going to that stadium, knowing
- 28:06Speaker 2: the nuances of the kicking, especially in Shanahan, didn't know,
- 28:12Speaker 2: like the forty nine ers didn't know this last year
- 28:16Speaker 2: some of the kicking nuances in Cleveland and it cost them.
- 28:19Speaker 2: There's like the Phil Dawson flag and you can look
- 28:23Speaker 2: to see what the wins are doing in the corner
- 28:24Speaker 2: of the stadium, So some of those things, and just
- 28:27Speaker 2: like we've been to this stadium before, we know that
- 28:31Speaker 2: home field's always gonna be a little less for divisional games,
- 28:34Speaker 2: but I still think it has a major impact on
- 28:36Speaker 2: this particular matchup.
- 28:37Speaker 3: Still the comar two Kings and a Queen parlay.
- 28:40Speaker 1: We nominate our picks in just a moment, but first

- 29:15Speaker 1: Tomorrow is National Pickle Day, So no better time than
- 29:19Speaker 1: right now to ask you what is your week eleven
- 29:23Speaker 1: pickle prop?
- 29:24Speaker 3: What prop? As he in a pickle?
- 29:27Speaker 4: Okay, we're in a pickle.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Now, I'm really in a pickle?
- 29:30Speaker 5: Now?
- 29:31Speaker 3: All right? Look we're gonna pickle again.
- 29:36Speaker 5: Hot Friarmouth plus two forty. The Bengals are the worst
- 29:41Speaker 5: team in the NFL against the tight end this year.
- 29:43Speaker 5: But he hasn't been finding the end zone the way
- 29:45Speaker 5: that I personally expected him to and probably a lot
- 29:48Speaker 5: of other people.
- 29:49Speaker 4: But he had two.
- 29:50Speaker 5: Touchdowns in this matchup prior in this season.
- 29:54Speaker 4: I am curious that they're gonna find a way to.
- 29:56Speaker 5: Shut him down because obviously it could be a John
- 29:59Speaker 5: Newsmith game. He gave them a hard time last time
- 30:01Speaker 5: these two teams played each other.
- 30:03Speaker 4: The other thing I will.
- 30:03Speaker 5: Note, though I was doing some research about this earlier,
- 30:06Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is throwing way more touchdowns than it feels
- 30:09Speaker 5: like he's a top ten quarterback as far as passing
- 30:12Speaker 5: touchdowns go, probably even top seven I think I want
- 30:15Speaker 5: to say he was six or seven on that list.
- 30:16Speaker 4: So he's throwing more than we think he would do.
- 30:19Speaker 5: We take the cheese. He's currently plus two forty. I
- 30:21Speaker 5: already put it in the app. Do I feel great
- 30:23Speaker 5: about it?
- 30:24Speaker 3: No?
- 30:25Speaker 5: But I did it because I'm not a coward and
- 30:27Speaker 5: I really want to be behind my Massachusetts king, pav Fryarmuth.
- 30:30Speaker 1: This week, well, I think that that's the thing. You're
- 30:32Speaker 1: not going to make this bet and feel good about
- 30:34Speaker 1: it because Pat Fryarmouth can be an absolute non factor
- 30:38Speaker 1: any given week. He's got three catches, forget about touchdowns.
- 30:42Speaker 1: He's got three catches in his last three games, but
- 30:44Speaker 1: he roasts the Bengals routinely. Not only the game that
- 30:47Speaker 1: you're talking about from a couple of weeks ago that
- 30:49Speaker 1: was on primetime. We all remember there was a touchdown
- 30:52Speaker 1: fest and tight ends were scoring left and right, but
- 30:54Speaker 1: he scored both times he played against them last year.
- 30:57Speaker 1: So there's just something something about those that gets some
- 31:01Speaker 1: going stucky.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind him. My only fear would be like,
- 31:04Speaker 2: any way that Pittsburgh chooses to attack Cincinnati is going
- 31:08Speaker 2: to work. So like it's just like, is he in
- 31:10Speaker 2: the game plan?
- 31:13Speaker 3: That's the thing.
- 31:13Speaker 1: They rotate three guys, that's the unpredictable part. If it
- 31:17Speaker 1: was just Pat Fryermuth, well you probably wouldn't be getting
- 31:19Speaker 1: a plus two forty on it, But then it would
- 31:22Speaker 1: I would just feel so much better about it. But
- 31:24Speaker 1: if he's just not part of the game plan, then
- 31:26Speaker 1: we're just gonna get screwed in that direction.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Yeah, No, but I don't mind. I mean Cincinnati's line,
- 31:30Speaker 2: they have the worst linebacker room in the NFL. They
- 31:33Speaker 2: have the worst defense. They cannot cover tight ends, as
- 31:36Speaker 2: you mentioned, they really struggle in that department. And you
- 31:39Speaker 2: could get some wind. This is where at the time
- 31:41Speaker 2: of the year, where do you have to worry about
- 31:44Speaker 2: the weather. That would impact the downfield passing attack much
- 31:48Speaker 2: more and the Bengals much more. And the Steelers love
- 31:53Speaker 2: throwing at their tight ends Aaron Rodgers quick short passes.
- 31:57Speaker 2: That's not going to have an impact on the tight
- 31:59Speaker 2: end product and it could actually increase it for the Steelers.
- 32:03Speaker 2: So yeah, like regardless, I think the tight end room
- 32:09Speaker 2: for the Steelers. The Steelers utilize their tight tight ends
- 32:13Speaker 2: as much as anyone, although the Rams. When you're watching
- 32:15Speaker 2: that Rams seayoffs game, the Rams have used like thirteen
- 32:20Speaker 2: personnel forty percent of the time over the past month.
- 32:24Speaker 2: They're going with like multiple tight ends. They're going heavy
- 32:27Speaker 2: and throwing. That's like the new trend in the NFL
- 32:31Speaker 2: if you can throw out of heavy packages, and the
- 32:34Speaker 2: Rams are doing it as well as anyone, and the
- 32:36Speaker 2: Steelers do a good job of doing that as well.
- 32:38Speaker 2: You're going to see a lot of many two and
- 32:41Speaker 2: three tight end packages. And then regardless of the weather
- 32:43Speaker 2: of the wind, that's not going to impact Rogers getting
- 32:46Speaker 2: rid of the ball quick to those tight ends. So
- 32:48Speaker 2: I don't mind it.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Look two tight end touchdown props on today's episode, Kendra,
- 32:52Speaker 1: this must rank top three for you all time on
- 32:55Speaker 1: the favorites.
- 32:56Speaker 4: Hikels and tight ends. We're really getting after it for
- 32:58Speaker 4: me today. I appreciate it.
- 33:00Speaker 3: You guys.
- 33:01Speaker 4: I have pickle nails for tomorrow.
- 33:03Speaker 1: And people don't understand the uh we got a you
- 33:06Speaker 1: guys reference on the podcast just now. That is a
- 33:10Speaker 1: regular occurrence prior to us going live. Is the the
- 33:14Speaker 1: you guys shout out something random on the back end
- 33:17Speaker 1: from Kendra Middleton, always a classic. It's time for the
- 33:20Speaker 1: reason that you came here today. Our two Kings and
- 33:22Speaker 1: a queen parlay. We'll each nominate at least two plays.
- 33:27Speaker 1: We'll see if we can find some general consensus. We'll
- 33:29Speaker 1: slam them together and hopefully well cash in like we
- 33:33Speaker 1: did two weeks ago.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Kendra, get us started all.
- 33:45Speaker 5: Right, So this number has moved to four, but do
- 33:48Speaker 5: we want the chiefs to cover the now four? It
- 33:51Speaker 5: was three and a half when I put it in
- 33:53Speaker 5: here earlier, or do we want Jacoby Meyers anytime plus
- 33:58Speaker 5: two fifty because I I think that they're really trying
- 34:00Speaker 5: to get Jacobe Myers into the offense. I know that
- 34:04Speaker 5: Stucky has a potential nomination from this game as well.
- 34:07Speaker 5: But last week threw a touchdown to him. It was
- 34:11Speaker 5: recalled for a penalty, which makes sense. Jacksonville Jaguars penalizes
- 34:14Speaker 5: to hell most us undisciplined team that I've ever seen
- 34:16Speaker 5: in my life. So I think that they're going to
- 34:18Speaker 5: try and get him involved early and often. They have
- 34:20Speaker 5: no choice now that Travis Hunter is out for the
- 34:22Speaker 5: season as well, but to get him acclimated and get
- 34:24Speaker 5: him acclimated quickly. But I do people there's so much
- 34:28Speaker 5: money on the Chiefs as I was looking into it
- 34:30Speaker 5: this morning, But Chiefs after a by Patrick Mahomes, after
- 34:33Speaker 5: a buy and you read after a bye, all of
- 34:35Speaker 5: those statistics that people love, probably a little square of
- 34:38Speaker 5: super square on my part, but that's okay.
- 34:40Speaker 4: These are my two options for the week.
- 34:43Speaker 3: I like the Chiefs. I like the Chiefs.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Why don't we throw in because we're gonna have two
- 34:48Speaker 2: other ones, why don't we throw in just money on
- 34:50Speaker 2: like I go a little too high, but I really do.
- 34:53Speaker 2: I can't see the Chiefs losing this game after the
- 34:55Speaker 2: bye week. That Broncos aren't even fully healthy.
- 34:58Speaker 4: They're bad and they're bad. BIS looks bad.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Bonus looks bad. But uh, I could see this being
- 35:05Speaker 2: just like a Chiefs peep go win. But I think
- 35:08Speaker 2: the Chiefs are going to get it done. It's a partlay.
- 35:09Speaker 2: I do you okay? Throwing Chiefs money line down?
- 35:11Speaker 4: Chiefs money line?
- 35:12Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 35:13Speaker 4: What is it?
- 35:13Speaker 3: Probably? To back that up?
- 35:15Speaker 1: This is from Evans Primer this week, Andy Reid, Patrick
- 35:17Speaker 1: Mahomes off the by thirty four and ten straight up
- 35:21Speaker 1: or that's on extended prep but still thirty four and ten.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Mahomes and Reid against the AFC West eighty six.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Percent of the time they win.
- 35:31Speaker 1: So a lot of these and we've seen the Broncos
- 35:35Speaker 1: have trailed in seven straight games. This team is due
- 35:40Speaker 1: for a loss, so I've got no problem with it.
- 35:42Speaker 3: I think the win is the way to look.
- 35:44Speaker 4: And then minus two five is not a bad price.
- 35:47Speaker 4: That's better than I thought it would.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Be, all right, So that one is in stucky.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Wow, you guys, that was too easy. I didn't like that.
- 35:55Speaker 4: Now I'm on comfy.
- 35:58Speaker 3: The Chiefs. It's cozy.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I My first one is gonna be Cleveland. I already
- 36:04Speaker 2: talked about that game. My second one is going to
- 36:08Speaker 2: be the Jags. This is a Jags podcast. They're back
- 36:11Speaker 2: at home. When's the last time they played at home?
- 36:12Speaker 2: Over a month?
- 36:13Speaker 1: Here's the thing, it's kind of a Chargers podcast too.
- 36:15Speaker 1: It's the low key Chargers podcast, yet we brand ourselves
- 36:19Speaker 1: Jags podcasts.
- 36:20Speaker 3: And now that you get.
- 36:21Speaker 4: These two, it was a month ago. It was before
- 36:23Speaker 4: the London game. That was their last home game for Yeah, and.
- 36:25Speaker 2: It's the team they went one in three over the
- 36:27Speaker 2: past four But I mean they collapse urus the Texans,
- 36:31Speaker 2: one of the best defense, but they played that we
- 36:32Speaker 2: just talked about. They played the Seahawks and the Rams.
- 36:35Speaker 2: So I think getting back at home where they've been
- 36:37Speaker 2: good this year, getting back at home, catching three against
- 36:41Speaker 2: the Charters team that cannot block anybody, and the Jags
- 36:44Speaker 2: can get pressure. The Charters don't have an offensive line,
- 36:47Speaker 2: which means they're not going to travel well and play
- 36:49Speaker 2: well on the road. And you look at what they've
- 36:51Speaker 2: done on the road this year since they've had offensive
- 36:53Speaker 2: line Injers. I mean they lost to the Giants, they
- 36:55Speaker 2: barely beat the Dolphins by two, and then they beat
- 36:57Speaker 2: the Titans. That's not a very are encouraging road data set.
- 37:02Speaker 2: My only concern with the Jags, and also the jack
- 37:04Speaker 2: should be able to run the ball.
- 37:05Speaker 4: Here, you're missing the biggest part of all of this.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Justin Herbert cannot play. Listen, I'm gonna say this now.
- 37:13Speaker 5: The Chargers are gonna beat the shit out of the Jags,
- 37:15Speaker 5: But Justin Herbert cannot play in Jacksonville. That comeback game
- 37:21Speaker 5: in the playoffs, that was in Jacksonville. He grabs his
- 37:24Speaker 5: pants against this team consistently. However, this team is so dead,
- 37:29Speaker 5: so done for the locker room after the Travis Hunter
- 37:32Speaker 5: news absolutely disgusting. Liam Cohen is absolutely disgusted by this.
- 37:36Speaker 5: This team's falling apart. They need you, Cobey.
- 37:39Speaker 4: I can't do it. I can't get there.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Well, we sell a Jags plus three. It is on you.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Once you sell all of your stock on a team,
- 37:46Speaker 1: that's probably the time to buy in plus.
- 37:48Speaker 2: But the only thing I'm worried about I will say,
- 37:50Speaker 2: I mean, I think Breton strangely back. I've been talking
- 37:52Speaker 2: about paying his loss for a while again, and he
- 37:54Speaker 2: returned to practice yesterday. I think he's gonna play. He's
- 37:57Speaker 2: big in the red zoneses next week, tom bet. I mean,
- 38:01Speaker 2: I think anyone who can play will play this week.
- 38:03Speaker 2: This game is an enormous swing in postseason odds. Like
- 38:06Speaker 2: if the Jags win, I think they go to like
- 38:09Speaker 2: sixty percent to make it. If they lose, their down
- 38:11Speaker 2: to like twenty percent. Same with the Chargers. If they win,
- 38:14Speaker 2: they go up to like ninety. If they lose, they're
- 38:16Speaker 2: basically a coin flip. So Brian Thomas Junior returned to practice.
- 38:20Speaker 2: You have Jacoby Myers. If you can get strange back,
- 38:22Speaker 2: you can run on this Chargers defense. And that's basically
- 38:25Speaker 2: when the jat if the Jags can run the ball.
- 38:28Speaker 4: But they choose not to because they're idiots.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't think Owen's an idiot. He's
- 38:33Speaker 2: and they went against I mean the Rams, Seahawks, Texans.
- 38:36Speaker 2: You can't really run on those teams. You can run
- 38:38Speaker 2: on the charters. My only concern is that everyone is
- 38:41Speaker 2: always on the injury report yesterday. I'll see what it
- 38:42Speaker 2: looks like today. But they're like basically their entire offensive line,
- 38:46Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis Parker Washington is playing really well. There's a
- 38:51Speaker 2: lot of limited guys.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Why any time too, So that those.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Are my two options, Jags plus three at home plus
- 38:59Speaker 2: I'm I just make the line one and a half
- 39:01Speaker 2: one one and a half. So I think it's too high.
- 39:05Speaker 2: So Jags plus three at DraftKings or what are at DraftKings?
- 39:10Speaker 2: What are the Browns seven and a half?
- 39:12Speaker 4: Seven and a half?
- 39:12Speaker 1: I'm half yeah, we're gonna need Evan to break the tie.
- 39:17Speaker 3: I like both.
- 39:18Speaker 1: I just really don't want to fade this Ravens team
- 39:21Speaker 1: right now. They're just they're just rolling downhill with their
- 39:24Speaker 1: momentum starting one in five. They have to treat every
- 39:27Speaker 1: week like it's a playoff game. This is not a
- 39:29Speaker 1: sleepy spot, even though Cleveland is a really tough place
- 39:33Speaker 1: to play right now. But I like the Jags bed
- 39:35Speaker 1: a little bit more. Evan break the tie for us.
- 39:37Speaker 7: This is a house of content, and we have the
- 39:39Speaker 7: ability to take the Jaguars plus three at home.
- 39:41Speaker 8: I don't know how we don't pass that up.
- 39:44Speaker 7: Jaguars, because no matter what happens, this is the best
- 39:48Speaker 7: thing for the show. I can't believe we recou even
- 39:51Speaker 7: though Stuck he sold the entire thing and it probably
- 39:54Speaker 7: does cash.
- 39:55Speaker 8: It's Jaguars, ladies and gentlemen enjoy Well, yeah, I hate.
- 39:58Speaker 5: You guys literally every week.
- 40:01Speaker 4: There's so many knives in my back at this point.
- 40:04Speaker 4: You guys will never pull out. It's unblavle. You just
- 40:07Speaker 4: keep twisting them further in.
- 40:08Speaker 7: Front thee though, so Jack enjoy the rest.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Well, technically Stuck he handed the knife, but uh, you
- 40:15Speaker 1: know that is fair.
- 40:17Speaker 5: Can actually record my reaction if this goes down to
- 40:20Speaker 5: the wire, I'm literally gonna have to like put my
- 40:22Speaker 5: phone up in my house and just run.
- 40:23Speaker 4: I'm literally, oh my god.
- 40:25Speaker 5: When Cam Little hit that seventy yarder in the preseason,
- 40:28Speaker 5: I was running around my kitchen island and I ate
- 40:31Speaker 5: shit in a pair of socks.
- 40:32Speaker 4: So I hope that we get one of those again.
- 40:34Speaker 3: If we hit this parlay.
- 40:35Speaker 1: I needed all caps, you guys from the Kindred Middleton.
- 40:39Speaker 8: Twin Chargers by one or two. That's probably what you and.
- 40:43Speaker 4: The Chargers are gonna beat the crap out of them.
- 40:46Speaker 4: And I'm so for real.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Little versus great kick kicking matchup.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Little dicker, you love it.
- 40:52Speaker 3: I mean, that was just what a lay up that
- 40:55Speaker 3: was right there.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Panther's plus three and a half against the Atlanta Falcons
- 40:59Speaker 1: or the.
- 41:00Speaker 3: Eagles money line.
- 41:02Speaker 1: So since we're talking juicy money lines, the Eagles they have.
- 41:06Speaker 1: I was going through every team that's five and four better,
- 41:09Speaker 1: seeing if I could rank their top three wins of
- 41:13Speaker 1: the year.
- 41:13Speaker 3: The Eagles blow out the competition.
- 41:16Speaker 1: As far as if you were just saying resume builder,
- 41:18Speaker 1: like if we were treating this as if it were
- 41:20Speaker 1: college football, Chiefs, Packers, Rams, no team touches that list
- 41:25Speaker 1: of three as far as wins. Adding Detroit to that
- 41:28Speaker 1: resume nah Chef's kiss Siriani two to zero against Dan Campbell,
- 41:33Speaker 1: averaging forty one points per game against them. And another
- 41:37Speaker 1: great stat from the primer, a good week after the
- 41:41Speaker 1: bye week team five and oho straight up four and
- 41:43Speaker 1: one against the spread coming off of the game that's
- 41:46Speaker 1: off the buy so Philadelphia money line. The number continues
- 41:50Speaker 1: to tilt in that direction. If we talk about stacked
- 41:52Speaker 1: injury reports, go look at the Lions. And then the
- 41:55Speaker 1: other one is the Panthers Falcons coming back from overseas
- 41:59Speaker 1: no bye week. The Panthers already showed the match up
- 42:01Speaker 1: well with this team. They blasted them thirty to zero
- 42:04Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Carolina lost to the Saints last week.
- 42:08Speaker 1: They are not to be trusted as a favorite. They
- 42:10Speaker 1: are to be trusted as a dog. I like the
- 42:12Speaker 1: sad Cats, Kendra, which do you like better?
- 42:15Speaker 4: Habits? I fucking hate both of these same. I hate these.
- 42:21Speaker 5: I love the Falcons this week and I love the Lions.
- 42:25Speaker 4: What are we doing? I don't stuck eat, I can't.
- 42:28Speaker 5: You're gonna have you and Evan, this is in God's
- 42:31Speaker 5: hands because it can't be in mind talk amongst yourselves.
- 42:34Speaker 3: I have to play.
- 42:35Speaker 2: And I think the Eagles win. I think their defense
- 42:37Speaker 2: will be the difference, like you're getting the they're I
- 42:41Speaker 2: think their defense is going to continue trending up. And
- 42:43Speaker 2: the Lions offensive line might still be an issue.
- 42:46Speaker 8: And we can't stand either of these.
- 42:48Speaker 2: I know, I don't. I get the spot like after
- 42:53Speaker 2: an overtime game coming over back overseas. It's not great
- 42:57Speaker 2: without a bye week, and Atlanta is not a great
- 43:00Speaker 2: They don't have a great home field advantage and this
- 43:01Speaker 2: is an a visual game, but they were embarrassed the
- 43:04Speaker 2: last time on their home field against the Dolphins. They
- 43:07Speaker 2: were embarrassed by this team earlier this season, so I
- 43:12Speaker 2: think they're gonna get the Falcon's best effort. And the
- 43:14Speaker 2: Falcons at home with Penix, they're a different team. But
- 43:18Speaker 2: I mean, the Panthers could run the ball, and that's
- 43:20Speaker 2: the Falcon's biggest weakness right now, especially with that Diablo.
- 43:22Speaker 2: They can't stop the run.
- 43:24Speaker 5: I'm gonna say the Eagles money line is my choice,
- 43:26Speaker 5: just because somehow they find ways to win.
- 43:28Speaker 4: But I fucking hate both of these.
- 43:31Speaker 2: I'll say the Panthers, Oh my god, Evan, just so
- 43:36Speaker 2: Evan can break the tie, because I don't really have
- 43:38Speaker 2: a strong.
- 43:39Speaker 8: Yeah, it's Panthers. I'll go three and a half.
- 43:40Speaker 7: But I got I hate it if you could pick
- 43:42Speaker 7: a spot where you're going off a team who won
- 43:44Speaker 7: thirty nothing and then you've got San Francisco on Monday
- 43:47Speaker 7: Night football on deck, like it's just a I know
- 43:50Speaker 7: it's a division, I know it's a big deal, just
- 43:52Speaker 7: a shitty spot.
- 43:53Speaker 3: I don't want everyone.
- 43:54Speaker 8: I'll take Carolina though.
- 43:56Speaker 4: No, I'm so serious.
- 43:58Speaker 5: If my leg of this hits and the two of
- 44:00Speaker 5: you lose, I will be so insufferable for so long,
- 44:04Speaker 5: worse than usual.
- 44:05Speaker 4: I will be so beyond worse than usual. You guys,
- 44:10Speaker 4: I'm you better.
- 44:11Speaker 5: You better cross your fingers and tell pray to Evan
- 44:14Speaker 5: Abrams because he's our Jesus Christ.
- 44:16Speaker 4: It's I'm no Jack and I'm.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Getting ship on in the chat over here, Eagles money
- 44:20Speaker 1: line worst suggestion of the year. I have easily had
- 44:23Speaker 1: worse suggestions than taking the Eagles in primetime to win
- 44:27Speaker 1: a football game.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Jags plus three Panthers plus three and a half cheaps
- 44:32Speaker 2: money on plus four twenty at DraftKings.
- 44:35Speaker 8: One King and two sad Cats. It's gonna be a
- 44:37Speaker 8: good weekend.
