• 0:22

• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Giants defensive coordinator Denard Wilson called out some of his
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: defenders as, quote, traitors. He said they're traitors because they
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: don't cover the run. They don't follow the football. Can
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you unravel what that means? We'll talk about all that.

  Speaker 1: that call this show. Boy, are you in for a treat.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Not a single call. Not a single call. Now, we
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: did have the NFL schedule continue on Thursday night football.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The Chicago football team beat the New England football team.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: As Drake May threw another bonehead interception as the Patriots
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: were matriculating the ball down the field. This was in
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the first half. And he threw the ball to the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: wrong team. Right at the goal line in the end
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: zone there. Debacle. Patriots defense was terrible. So Chicago wins
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that game. Bears get to 5-2. But our lead this
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: hour is from Indianapolis. As there are said to be
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: multiple NFL teams that are on the prowl. And they
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: are interested in trading for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: The trade deadline is coming up November 10th. Mark that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on your phone calendar, November 10th. So if you didn't
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: see this, Brabson and I have been bouncing around the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: echo chamber. The last couple of days, another crappy season
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for the Colts. Indianapolis remaining undecided, reportedly, whether or not
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: they're going to get rid of their star player. This
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: after firing the incompetent Chris Ballard following a 2-4 start.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So Taylor, who's in his late 20s, he has rushed
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for about 500 yards, seven touchdowns this season. And, of course,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Colts, even if they were going to trade Jonathan Taylor,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you don't say, oh, yeah, we're really horny to trade him.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You say, oh, we're undecided. So you have the offers
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: go up, up, and away. Now, Taylor himself insists that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: he has not considered leaving, calling trade speculation a disservice
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to his teammates. Bullcrap. Now, it's not just Jonathan Taylor.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: We are looking at a possible bonfire situation. In Indianapolis,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: as name brand players like DeForest Buckner and Quentin Nelson
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: also could be put on the auctioning block there for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the team from the Hoosier State as they consider a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: full demo job on a roster. This is what happens
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: when you bet on Daniel Jones. They bet on Daniel Jones,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: who's not worth beans. And now here we are. They're
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: farting it up right and left. Anyway, good jumping off point.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. Is Jonathan Taylor too valuable
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for the Colts to trade because he's the only good
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: player they have? Or is he too valuable for the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Colts not to trade? You make the call. So I've
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: got eBay, Woodstock, and Foot Locker. And we'll combine all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of these things together, and we are not going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: keep our mouths shut because it's talk radio. So number one.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Number one. One, one, one, one, one. Number one. Can
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of worms after a minutes-long mallard deliberation of the available information.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Normally our position has always been you hold on to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the star player. You'll hold on to the star player. However,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this is the exception of the rule. It is time
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: for divorce. No marriage counseling, no couples therapy. Just split
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the assets and move on. Irreconcilable differences. They can't get along.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Taylor wants to win, right? The Colts, apparently, they're getting
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out of trying to win. And Indy isn't one player
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: away at this particular point. The Colts are one of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: those teams that's stuck in the middle. They're not one
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: player away. They're one good general manager, one good quarterback,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and about eight other good players, just miracles, if you will,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: away from ending up as a legitimately good team. Now,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you're in a division where you can suck and make
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Great thing about If you're in the NFC
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: South or the AFC South, you don't have to be
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that good. And it's kind of like a participation charity
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: thing where we get one of the bad teams in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the playoffs every year from those divisions. And so you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: don't have to be that great to make the playoffs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But to be legitimate contenders in the AFC, Indianapolis isn't that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So they should put Taylor on eBay, Jonathan Taylor. They
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: can mark him slightly used, high mileage, still normally runs
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: really great. some championship aspirations, but those are sold separately.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Those are sold separately. And so Indy is not going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to be a threat realistically for the Super Bowl before
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor starts growing mold as he has passed his
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: expiration date. So keeping him. would be akin to that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: guy that's living in his mom's basement making payments on
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a Lamborghini. Well, dude, you live in your mom's basement.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You probably should not have a Lamborghini. But I like
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the Lamborghini. But I know you don't really need the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Lamborghini because you should pay for some other stuff. If
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: somebody's offer is to the moon, I'm talking like, I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't believe they'll get a first-round pick, but a second-round
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: pick for Jonathan Taylor, you don't negotiate. You ask, hey,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: where can I send you the complimentary charcuterie board? And
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'll include... Cheese of the Month on the charcuterie board.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: All right, now page two. To the business of football,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: where the commissioner, Roger the Dodger Goodell, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: declaring that the league's inaugural sojourn to Australia, remember that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: debacle back in the beginning of the NFL season? He said, well,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it was a tremendous success. Now, Goodell singing the praises
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of the 49er-Ram game. The matchup attracted over 100,000 fans
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to the Melbourne cricket ground. Ozzy Waz was not one
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of those fans. Neither was Ozzy Momentum. I don't think
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Ozzy guy was either. So that kicked off on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a Friday morning local time in Australia. And I remember
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it was a Thursday game of the week in America.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: San Francisco famously arrived early. They got to run around Australia,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have some Vegemite, enjoy the local sights and sounds. And
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the Rams showed up about five minutes before kickoff. That's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: what they did. Maybe a little more than that, but
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: it seemed like five minutes. So the 49ers dominated that game.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And initially people thought, well, the Rams didn't play well
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: because of travel fatigue. Now we just think the Rams sucked.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And that's why they didn't play well. But Roger Goodell
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: called the contrasting travel strategies a valuable lesson, he said,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: potentially opening the door to more games. He's talking about
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: now putting NFL games in Japan, all over different Asian countries.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So the question, Roger Goodell says the NFL's Australia vacation,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: their Australian sojourn, was a, quote, tremendous success, close quote,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Agree or disagree? Agree or disagree? So I am going
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to disagree. I'm going to disagree, and here's why. The
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: commissioner has never met an NFL cash grab he couldn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: dress up as some kind of historical achievement. Raj Goodell,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced, Goodell could have been out on a boat
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in the Atlantic watching the Titanic sink. in binoculars and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: he would have called it a tremendous success because every
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: single lifeboat was occupied sure they didn't have enough lifeboats
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and pretty much everyone croaked in the ocean and they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: landed but still they had the lifeboats full and that's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: really what it was all about so they spin it
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that's what they do they spin it right this was
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a regular season nfl game not some
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: episode of the amazing race it turned out to be
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that if you keep it real I'm convinced you could
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: sell 100,000 tickets in Melbourne to watch kangaroos box Mike Tyson.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You get 100,000 men, women, and children to go to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that cricket venue in Australia to watch kangaroos box Mike Tyson.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you've created a sustainable boxing league. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: after all, remember many years ago, there was this famous
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: music concert in New York and it was, To this day,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: people still talk about it, romanticize it. 100,000 people, whatever,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: attended Woodstock. That didn't mean everybody became a hippie that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: attended Woodstock. That's not how that went. That's not the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: case at all. And ultimately, Roger Goodell is always selling
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the sizzle. And even in this case, like the fajitas
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: are barely edible, but I'm selling the sizzle. You're buying
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the sizzle on the fajitas is what you're doing. All right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: final point to New York we go, the Big Apple. Well, actually,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, where the Giants have some problems. They got
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: some problems. Their defense running amok. It's not going well
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: there for the G-men. Now, the defensive coordinator, someone named
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Denard Wilson, who's working for John Harbaugh, Denard Wilson, blasting...
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: his employees taking a shot at the defensive players that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he is in charge of coaching, who apparently have decided
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that they do not want to get into a pursuit.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: They've decided to take an anti-pursuit position, and he called
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: these players, quote, traitors, close quote. Let me repeat that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: for those of you in the back of the room.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: The Giants defensive coordinator, Denard Wilson, said, ripping his own
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: defensive players, some stumble bums here, and saying the guys
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that won't pursue the football are traitors. This following the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: recent loss to the New Orleans football team. Now, Denard
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Wilson criticizing the overall effort, warning, if you don't change
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the behaviors, we have to change the players. The Giants
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: currently rank 19th in points allowed, and they have given
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: away leads to, in a couple of games this year,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: raising eyebrows on what shoulda, coulda, woulda happened and questions
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: being asked about the accountability and are the Giants a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: nickel-and-dime operation on defense. So here's the question, and I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: know our friend the moving man, In Boston, big giant
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: apologist there. He's like, yeah, yeah, I like this. I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: like it too. So defensive coordinator Denard Wilson, here's the question.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Denard Wilson called out some of his giant defenders as
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: traitors because they don't pursue the football. Can you unravel...
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: What this means, can you unravel what this means? So
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the Giants defensive coach totally and completely broke rank here.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Modern NFL football is you never call out your players. Now,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: he didn't call out individual players, so he's okay. But
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you don't even call out your players as a group anymore.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that. So he broke ranks
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: by publicly blasting his guys. And honestly, it is a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: breath of fresh air. In fact, what I'm going to do,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and I don't normally do this, doing overnight talk radio
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: so denard wilson the giants defensive coordinator i'm gonna let
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you get your own neon eraser we have neon green
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: neon pink and you can get one of those neon
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: erasers i recommend the green uh and then you can
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: also take a brag tag so congratulations just brag away
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: because we've gone from missed tackles to treason treason you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: traitors it's so good It appears the Giants defense is
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: dealing with a massive supply chain shortage of give a damn.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: These guys just don't give a damn. They don't. They
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: have a case of IDGAF. I don't give a football,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. And it in many
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: ways is a new age zone defense. The Giants have
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: played this year. You've heard of the no fly zone.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure watching football over the years, you've heard of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the no fly zone. You're nodding your head.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: The Giants' defense is revolutionary. They've decided to go with
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the no-try zone, which is much different than the no-fly zone,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the no-try zone. It would appear they have far too
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: many passengers and not nearly enough drivers on that defensive
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: side of the football. Now, some of these guys have
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: perfected the art of looking busy while accomplishing absolutely nothing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And a lot of you have that skill that if
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you have the dreaded nine to five, it's a little
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: harder to do that if you're like a truck driver
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: or your job is to take packages off trucks or
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: something like that at a warehouse. It's a little harder
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to do that. If you have a nine to five
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: office job, I feel like it's absolutely pretty easy to go, ah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: gee whiz, I'll just pretend like I'm working and that's it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: The Giants defense should be sponsored by Foot Locker because
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: they've got 11 guys wearing sneakers and eight of them
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: appear to be absolute loafers just loafing around out there.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: And that spells trouble every single time, every single time.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And if you're talented, that's great. If you're talented and lazy,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how talented you are. You're not going
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to have much success there. It is the Ben Maler Show.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: For the rest of the hour, we have Benny versus
• 17:04

• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the big winners. We've got eight hand-picked games. We have hand-selected,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and we're going to handicap those games, the biggest matchups
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in the NFL ever. on the week seven card for Sunday.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: So we handpick those games. We'll handicap them against the spread.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: We've got the lines from draft Kings. So we'll work
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: our way through that. You can comment, no calls, but
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you can comment. We'll read as many as we can
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: on the X machine at Ben Maler. That is at

  Speaker 1: Ben Maler. So Benny versus the penny for the rest

• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Speaking of winners.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Can you handle more malar mayhem?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: It's time now for.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Step back. Benny versus the Penny.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: A staple of radio for many, many decades. Actually, I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: guess it has been a couple of decades.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Holy crap.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: And even on television. Believe it or not, this dumb
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: thing was on television for two years. It was on NBC.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it. And now we're back to our
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: roots on radio. I'm so happy to be back on
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the radio doing Benny vs.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: The Penny.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not upset at all about losing that big fat
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: TV money at all. I love the fact that we're... No,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you're laughing, Coop. No, no. I'd much rather make a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: lot less money and do it on radio. Yes.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: The man of the people.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people. It had nothing to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: do with NBC canceling the show. I love Benny vs.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Penny. So it's a labor of love. Now, Coop,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: before we get to the card here... In week seven
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of the NFL, which began with the Chicago Bears winning
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: last night, just hours ago, actually, against the Patriots. We
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: must look back to week six. Now, week six was odd.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I was in Mexico City, so I ended up putting
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the picks online, flipped the penny, the whole thing. We
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: put that up there. And so do we have the record, Coop?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Do we have the numbers, the stats to look back
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: at last week?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: We do. Okay. All right. It wasn't a great week,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: but it was a winning week for you.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Middling week.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: You went 7-6-1.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: That's above 500. Not great, but okay. And the penny?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Penny 5-8-1. All right.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of middling. And over the years,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: usually there's one or two weeks where it goes absolutely
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: bonkers and you end up winning like 11 games. We've
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not had that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Nine games is your best week so far.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, this could be the week now. There's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a couple teams that are not playing. If you look
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: at the the bye schedule in the NFL, the vacation schedule,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you will not be hearing any information as we head
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: into the full week seven card about the Buffalo Bills.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: They're five and one not playing Jacksonville for two. They're off.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: The Commanders aren't playing, and the Chargers have been off
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: all year, so they have another week off. They're 0-6,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: but those are the teams that are on the bye.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it. We'll start. These are hand-picked games.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: The top games, all the lines, courtesy of our friends
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: over at DraftKings. And we'll start with the Steelers, a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: 3.5-point favorite against the Saints. The NFL said, you know what?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: We don't care about the animals running.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Around Paris anymore.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Torching things. We're going to play a football game. Why not? Anyway, Steelers,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a three and a half point favorite. This is the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: first ever NFL game in Paris. Glad they got that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: in before Paris changes its name and France changes its name.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the Steelers, a three and a half point favorite.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It's on the NFL network. Dave Pash, whoever that is,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, and oh God, Jason Kelsey. Thank God. Is
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: his annoying wife going to be there also? Well, they'll
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: be on the call there on state-sponsored NFL media, assuming
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the game is actually played as scheduled. Temperatures in the 50s,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a chance of rain in Paris. And I mentioned the Steelers,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a three-and-a-half-point neutral side favorite. I'm going to take the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Saints in this game. International game in Paris. You've got
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the travel rest variables in this game. And the Saints
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: recently against the spread, if you look at how they've
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: performed recently, The neutral site thing is actually a good thing.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: The Saints are 2-1 away from the Bayou, away from
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the Gumbo and the Jambalaya and all that in New
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Orleans this season. They're 0-3 at home, so there's no
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: traditional Pittsburgh home field advantage. Both teams have to handle
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the international travel, and Pittsburgh worked a little overtime in
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: their last game. For the Saints here, the offense has
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: been hit and miss with Mr. Shuck under center but
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious here if you're the saints you attack
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: with chris alave who's been pretty good that pittsburgh secondary
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: while the defense overall is pretty good for pittsburgh there
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: are some options to make some plays there against the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: steelers secondary anyway bottom line i'm going to take the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: saints plus the three and a half in the first
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: ever nfo game in paris the penny picks see here.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Penny agrees with you on this one, Ben, going with
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the Saints.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: All right, we agree. All that to agree. Next up,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the 49ers, a two-and-a-half point road favorite in Georgia. And
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: they take on the Dirty Birds, the Falcons. And this
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: game on Fox. You better watch Kenny Albert and Greg Olson.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: A lot of Internet rumors that Greg Olson's going to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: torpedo Troy Aikman on Monday Night Football. Who knows if
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: that's true or not. He's still working at Fox for now.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: So he and Kenny Albert have the call. The weather
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: not a factor. This game in a dome in Atlanta.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to take the Atlanta Falcons in this game.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I like the Falcons. And the public is absolutely hammering
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the 49ers. They've got the perfect record. And it's disproportionately
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: in favor of the 49ers. But the wise guys seem
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to be picking the Falcons if you look at the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: money disparity there. So I'm on the side of the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Falcons in this game. Take advantage of the scheduling. The
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: 49ers played on Monday. Now they have one day less.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: They travel. They play the early TV window, 10 a.m.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Pacific time, obviously 1 p.m. Eastern, but body clock time
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: will be 10 a.m. The Falcons are a conundrum because
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they have some talented players. Obviously injuries are a part
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: of this. They've underachieved, and I think this is a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: sneaky good spot for them this week. 49ers, everyone's been
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: kissing their ass all week. Oh, you're great. Brock Purdy's
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the MVP. And that Falcon defense can make him uncomfortable,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you would think. Pressure up the middle, collapse the pocket,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: force Brock Purdy to throw. And you look at that
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: injury chart for the 49ers. Mike Evans and Nick Bosa
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: missed practice on Thursday. chances are one of them will
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: not play in this game. Niners have some serious problems
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. So I'm going to take
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the Falcons as a small home dog. The Penny picks
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on Penny versus the Penny.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I think you're both going to be wrong, but the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Penny agrees again.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we've spent minutes here, and we just agree.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: All right, next up, the Indianapolis Colts. They suck. The
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Colts taking on the Vikings. You look at the records
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and you wouldn't watch this game and say, well, that's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a mismatch. Colts are 2-4. Vikings off to the 5-0 start.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And the line on this game on DraftKings, Vikings a
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: 6.5-point favorite. It's on CBS with Ian Eagle and Ross Tucker.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: The weather not a factor. It's in a dome. And
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the pick is in. I'm going to take the Colts
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in this game plus the 6.5-point. I'm going to take
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts just fired their GM, Chris Ballard. You know,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: there's a stat for everything. If you go back to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: last decade, we have seen 12 teams whack their general
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: manager in seasons. It's happened 12 times over the last
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: 10 years. The record against the spread in the next
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: game for those teams, eight and four against the spread.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That's not bad. There's also a tremendous
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: amount of public money on the Vikings. This is one
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of those games where the average low-information gambler thinks that
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: it's free money. The Vikings are going to win this
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: game by 20 points, and that's it. And there's a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: lot of public bias in favor of the Vikings. And
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: so this is a good fade opportunity. Minnesota is supposed
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to get a bunch of guys back from injury. The
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: The issue is, are they going to be able to
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: play at a high level? Usually you've got to get
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: your feet underneath you and all that stuff. There's also
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the bye week, so there's some lag coming out a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: little sluggish. And Minnesota doesn't have a quarterback. That's part
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of the problem here. It's hard to trust the Vikings
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: as good as their defense is. I realize the Colts
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback either with Danny Dimes. Daniel Jones
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: with the Vikings. They got the little fella, alligator arms Murray.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: He sucks. He sucks. And unless Jonathan Taylor's traded between
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: now and Sunday, he's going to play and he can
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: run against anybody as good as Minnesota's defense is overall.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: They're obviously the better team. They've got the better record,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: all this stuff, but Indianapolis should be able to get
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: some yardage there. You would think with Jonathan Taylor, uh,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: There'll be some yards against that Brian Flores defense. Just
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: too many points. The way the Vikings offense is, it's
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: hard for me to lay six and a half. Can't
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: do it, even though the Colts aren't very good. I'll
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: take Indianapolis plus the six and a half and the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: penny picks.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: The penny picks, the pint-sized passer. Going for the Vikings.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Alligator arms. Gardner... The garden gnome, Alligator Arms Murray there.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: All right, next up for us, it's Benny versus the Penny,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: man versus metal. And we are testing every week here
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: whether someone like me who handicaps these games, looks at
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: all the numbers, all the trends, all that stuff, we
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: look at that and we're like, can I get these
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: picks right? Or do we have to just flip a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: penny and you can do better flipping a penny? And
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I have done better than the penny, but not by much.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Not by much.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: You have a nine-game lead on the penny.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but week to week, it's like a couple. I've
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: lost one week here. So, anyway. All right, the Packers
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and the Lions. Packers on the Lions. That's the next
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: game up. The Lions, the home team here. It's in
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the Motor City. The Lions, a three-point favorite. It's on Fox.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: This is the big game on Fox, America's Game of
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the Week. Kevin Burkhart and Tom Brady. have the call.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I wonder which $ 500, 000 watch Tom Brady's going to wear
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to this game. I guess we'll have to read the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: tabloids to find out. Meanwhile, the Lions coming off a bye.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: They have home field. They are the more rested team.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And that is the team I'm going to pick. I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: going to take the Lions here as a small favorite.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Lions coming off the bye week. They're getting a bunch
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of guys back. The key player here is their safety,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Brian Branch. First time this season after his Achilles injury.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: They're also getting one of their offensive linemen back. So
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you figure this should help the secondary, which has been god-awful.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, if not the worst. They're real close to
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the worst secondary in the entire NFL. And so they
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: have an advantage, a rest advantage. A lot of people
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: getting a little too giddy over Green Bay. A little
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: too giddy for me over Green Bay. And they've got
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries. Christian Watson, who seems to always
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: be hurt, their top wide receiver. Also Matthew Golden. How
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: many drops did he have against the Cowboys? Two touchdowns
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: at least. So those guys dinged up. Ankles, shoulder stuff.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: A couple offensive linemen. Now the Packers are getting Josh
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Jacobs back. He's returning from the commissioner's exempt list because
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: he apparently beat up his girlfriend. So he's going to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: be back. Lions offensively, we know they're going to score
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: with Jameer Gibbs. And that Packer defense, Micah Parsons in
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: no rush to get back. The Packer defense is okay.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's all that great. I'm going to
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: take the Lions here. I'll lay the three points coming
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: off the bye week. I'll take the rest of the team.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And the Penny picks.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: The Penny picks the Packers.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: The Penny picks the Packers. You're listening to Benny versus Penny. Now,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: we should explain how this works. Coop is the Penny.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: You flip the Penny up in the air, and– If
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: it lands on heads, what does that mean, Coop, if
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: it lands on heads?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: That is the home team. So whoever is the home team,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that's the pick for the penny.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: And if it lands on tails, it's the road team
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: because you travel, you sit on your tuchus. Planes, trains,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and automobiles, you sit on your backside. It's very scientifical.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Very scientifical how we do things on Benny versus the penny.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Next up, we've got Koopaloops Broncos taking on the Cardinals.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And this game is on CBS with our friend Kevin Harlan,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: who actually I met him at the Super Bowl a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: couple years ago. He actually admitted to listening to the show,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't lying. He named some of the callers
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: to the show. He actually does listen to the show,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: which I don't tell anybody. It's our little secret. But
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I was shocked. I thought he was full of crap.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So the Cardinals have been a terrible... team to bet
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: on at home. In fact, they are one in nine
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: against the spread at home since the start of last season.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Broncos are a four and a half point favorite in
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the dome in Glendale, Arizona, where they have every chain
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: restaurant you could possibly want. If you've ever been to Glendale, Arizona,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: any chain store, they've got all that, all that. So
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: interesting factoid on the Broncos when the opponent scores 21
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: points or more versus a team with Bo Nix running
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the offense on the other side, Denver is 7-11 straight up.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: At 20 points or less, the Broncos are 22-2 with
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix. So... The lesson is as long as the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Broncos defense doesn't allow the Cardinals to get over 21 points,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: et cetera. No, I'm going to take the Cardinals. I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: don't like the Cardinals. The Cardinals should lose this game
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: by 20 points, but I'm going to take the Cardinals
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: because I don't trust Bo Nix. I don't trust the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Broncos offense. The Broncos profile offensively. There's no way as
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a gambler you can lay over a field goal offensively.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: against that team on the road the way Bo Nix
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: is playing the Broncos offense rakes near the bottom in
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: just about every single meaningful offensive category yards per play
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: all the nerd stats the EPA metrics the third down
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: conversion rate the explosive plays I can go on and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: on Bo Nix is averaging just 5.6 yards per attempt
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: The numbers are just dreadful for Bo Nix across the board.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: So this is a game that sets up to be
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: one of those like field goal type games. And if
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you're getting four and a half points with a home team,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the way the Broncos offense is playing, you got to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: do it. And I'm going to do it. So I'm
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: going to take the Arizona Cardinals, a bad team, but
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I'll take them plus the points against the Broncos and
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a bad quarterback in Bo Nix. And now Koopaloop. Who's
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the penny like?
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Well, this is the week that Bo Nix wakes up.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Did you say that last week?
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think I said that last week.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: You didn't ask it?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: But the penny actually agrees with you going with the Cardinals.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of agreement. There's a lot of agreement. The
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: penny realizes I'm ahead, but you should try to pick
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: against me to try to gain ground. All right, we'll
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: pause for the cause here. We've got, let's see, one, two,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: three more games to go, including the Island games. So
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: we have that to look forward to. Time now, though,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: for the Insta trivia. And here it is, the Instant Tribute.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Lions quarterback Jared Goff needs just 139 passing yards against
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Green Bay this weekend to move past blank and into
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: third place by himself in NFL history for the most
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: passing yards through a quarterback's first 11 seasons. Again, Lions
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: quarterback Jared Goff needs just 139 passing yards against Green
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Bay in the Dome this on Sunday, and if he
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: does that, he'll move past Blank and into third place
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: in NFL history for the most passing yards through a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback's first 11 seasons. If you know the answer on X,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller. We'll get to that,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: and we will do it!

• 36:14
  Speaker 1: it's all been for. The World Series is here, streaming

  Speaker 1: live on Fox 1. It's the Brewers versus the Rays
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: on baseball's biggest stage. Stream it live on Fox 1.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. We go pay off the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Insta trivia, and then right back to Benny versus the Penny.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Lions quarterback Jared Goff needs just 139 passing yards against
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Green Bay this weekend to move past blank into third
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: place in NFL history. Most passing yards through a quarterback's
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: first 11 seasons. Johnny Q says Dan Marino is the answer.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Analog Al going with Brett Favre as his answer. Jeff
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Hostetler from DJ Spin, our buddy Patrick, the Padre fan
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. Page down. Mr. Unlimited, Russell Wilson, guest
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: by JT, the wingman. Who else do we have? Alf,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the alien. Rest in peace to Todd Benzinger. I saw that. Todd,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the old baseball player, died at a relative young age.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Lorena, do you have an answer, Lorena?
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Terry Crews.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: No, sorry. Derek Carr is the answer. All right, back
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to it we go. Benny versus the Benny. Here we go,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: here we go, here we go. Bengals and Ravens. Baltimore
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a small one-and-a-half point favorites on CBS. Jim Nance, hello, friends, patrons.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: And J.J. Watt have the call. In Baltimore, temperatures in
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the 60s and clear at kickoff. I'm going to take
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the Bengals in this game. We don't know as we're
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: doing this whether Lamar Jackson's going to play. He was limited.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: He missed some practice time earlier this week. He's uncertain.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And I did see a clip. It appears he's limping.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So if he does play, can he play on one leg?
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Good luck on that. I'm going to take the healthy quarterback,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, and the Bengals here. And the Bengals defense
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: can force some turnovers. Try to... contain Derrick Henry in
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that running game here. They have a rest advantage as well.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: The Bengals coming off a bye week, so a little
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: extra preparation time while the Ravens just embarrass themselves. They
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: got pantsed by the Cleveland Browns. Holy crap. So either
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's playing hurt or he's not playing. Either way,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I like my chances with Joe Burrow, although these are
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the spots typically over the years the Bengals have effed up.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to take the Bengals for Cardiac Stanley
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: plus the one and a half points and the penny picks.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Penny also likes the Bengals in this spot.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: All right, next up, Sunday Night Football. This is actually
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: a good Sunday night game. Sometimes these things suck. This
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: is good. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to it on
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Sunday night. You've got the Chiefs undefeated and the once-proud
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks who have fallen apart. Downfall of Seattle. Seattle,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: a three-point favorite. It's on NBC with Mike Tirico and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth. Temperatures in the 50s and a chance of
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: rain in Seattle on Sunday night. I'm going to take
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs in this game. I'm a little concerned because
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the public loves the Chiefs also as a road dog.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: The Sharp bettors. Typically on the opposite side of that.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to take Kansas City in Seattle. Top-ranked offense.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Strong nerd stats. All the success rate running the football
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: with Kenneth Walker. It's the Kenneth Walker Jr. Kenneth Walker,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the third revenge game here. Sam Darnold versus the way
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Darnold's playing now. versus Mahomes. Are you kidding me? Mistake
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: prone Sam Darnold. The Chiefs defense forcing mistakes into Seattle.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Darnold has struggled a lot of late sacks, turnovers, dumb plays.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take the Chiefs and I'll take the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: points here. The penny picks.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: The penny might be round, but it likes the sharps. Okay.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Don't go in with the Seahawks. That was funny.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: All right, last game quickly. We have limited time. ABC,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, they hate each other. Cowboys-Eagles,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: they hate each other, too. Cowboys a four-and-a-half point favorite.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Temperatures in the 50s in Philly. I'm going to take
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the Eagles in this game. I realize I'm betting on
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: somebody named, what, Tanner McKee or whatever his name is,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: but Dallas has the worst defense in the NFL among
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: any team that's supposed to be good. The Cowboys' offense
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: has been bad lately. I'm going to take the Eagles
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: plus the points. The penny picks! The penny agrees.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Picking the Eagles.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: All right. There you go, Dak. How's that gaudy offense
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: going for the Cowboys? Remember that? The greatest. Yeah, well,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: not the greatest. The pathetic offense for the Cowboys lately.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Not good.
