- 0:11Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
- 0:14Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you above that. I
- 0:17Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
- 0:20Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two
- 0:24Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four,
- 0:28Speaker 1: I have not had a good season. Man with wookends
- 0:33Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues, I've
- 0:37Speaker 1: reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
- 0:41Speaker 1: browins hack Man, I don't know what is going on
- 0:43Speaker 1: with the Bruins arch Haape? Is that what it is?
- 0:46Speaker 1: I don't even know it's It's March ninth, I think
- 0:49Speaker 1: who even knows? Man, I don't know what day is anymore.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I don't even know what data is anymore. Man, back
- 0:55Speaker 1: with you after the worst day that I can possibly have,
- 0:59Speaker 1: Back with you as I always am until I die
- 1:02Speaker 1: at least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday did not
- 1:06Speaker 1: go well for me. Own five the worst month that
- 1:10Speaker 1: I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this. I
- 1:13Speaker 1: don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: To the Slump series, The slump discontinuous, The slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what
- 1:24Speaker 1: I should do at this point, other than potentially end
- 1:27Speaker 1: it all. What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you.
- 1:35Speaker 1: This is better Off Dead NFL Week seven edition. We'll
- 1:41Speaker 1: talk about what happened today tomorrow morning. I'm pissed. I
- 1:45Speaker 1: don't really feel like getting into it right now. It
- 1:47Speaker 1: was a winning day, but I'm fucking pissed about multiple
- 1:51Speaker 1: of these fucking games. I'm pissed about the extra picks
- 1:54Speaker 1: that I threw into my pick six pick seven. In
- 1:57Speaker 1: college football, I'm still alive and survivor, so there is
- 2:00Speaker 1: that in college. I'll probably not be alive in NFL
- 2:03Speaker 1: anymore or in real life after this. My camera won't
- 2:06Speaker 1: fucking focus, Like, what the fuck is going on here? Man?
- 2:09Speaker 1: Fucking focus focus on my ugly face, you bitch. All right,
- 2:14Speaker 1: let's fucking go, impure hunter. What's up, man, Good to
- 2:19Speaker 1: see you. Thanks for reposting. Man. I'm on YouTube as well.
- 2:23Speaker 1: You can watch me on YouTube too. This is gonna
- 2:25Speaker 1: be the NFL show. But yes, we did have a
- 2:28Speaker 1: four and three day on the show today. My extra
- 2:31Speaker 1: throw in at the end just because it was No
- 2:33Speaker 1: King's Day. I'm like, fuck you, you don't tell me what
- 2:35Speaker 1: to do. We're gonna fucking have a play on the Kings.
- 2:38Speaker 1: And then they fucking erase a three to zero deficit,
- 2:41Speaker 1: tie it at three three, get our hopes up, send
- 2:44Speaker 1: it to overtime. So it's like, okay, we have actually
- 2:46Speaker 1: the right side here as an underdog here, and now
- 2:49Speaker 1: they just lose like a minute and a half into overtime.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Fuck you, fuck all that. So I would have been
- 2:54Speaker 1: two and o in hockey, but instead I go two
- 2:56Speaker 1: and one because I couldn't help myself. Whatever two and
- 3:00Speaker 1: two in college football is. College football hasn't been great
- 3:04Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks or just kind of
- 3:07Speaker 1: breaking even ish, although we went three and two this week,
- 3:10Speaker 1: actually because I had the winner last night in Louisville,
- 3:12Speaker 1: so I guess there was that at least, yeah, we
- 3:16Speaker 1: have that in our back pocket. At least, let's talk
- 3:19Speaker 1: about this NFL slate. Man, I'm gonna have three NFL plays.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I had difficulty even getting it to three to be honest, like,
- 3:28Speaker 1: I have one play that I really like a lot.
- 3:30Speaker 1: The other two were maybe a little bit less so,
- 3:32Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it anywhere. We're gonna have three plays.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I think they're all solid ish enough for plays. I
- 3:39Speaker 1: guess maybe I'm just not restraining myself. I gotta break
- 3:41Speaker 1: my own arm, like, stop betting these games. What the
- 3:44Speaker 1: fuck are you doing? Man? Yeah, And they're all gonna
- 3:47Speaker 1: be in the Sunday Slate. I'm not gonna do anything
- 3:50Speaker 1: with the two Monday night games, but obviously I'll talk
- 3:52Speaker 1: about them and then i'll talk about them again Monday morning.
- 3:55Speaker 1: We're gonna do the final market read tomorrow on the
- 3:57Speaker 1: show tomorrow, Very Small Board on Sunday Tomorrow, So we'll
- 4:01Speaker 1: talk about a few hockey games or whatever the hell's
- 4:04Speaker 1: going on tomorrow. Baseball I think is maybe back in
- 4:07Speaker 1: action with the ALCS. I assume it's probably going on.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So that's what we're talking about tomorrow. And I'll rant
- 4:11Speaker 1: about the college football horseshit that happened. Fuck you, Syracuse,
- 4:16Speaker 1: is what I have to say about that. And I
- 4:19Speaker 1: think probably the other was the other game that I
- 4:21Speaker 1: had a bullshit loser to. I don't even remember it
- 4:23Speaker 1: might have been. I don't even remember what it was.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I don't even want to remember. Fuck it. Let's talk
- 4:28Speaker 1: about the NFL here, man and I did bring up
- 4:30Speaker 1: the look ahead lines again. The summary of this overly
- 4:34Speaker 1: plasticized woman here. Whatever the hell this woman is, Melanie
- 4:37Speaker 1: Collins talking up talking to us about football. You think
- 4:40Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to a woman, especially when it looks
- 4:42Speaker 1: like that about football? Hell, no, I'm not gonna do that.
- 4:46Speaker 1: First game up is Rams Jaguars. We have to call
- 4:50Speaker 1: them the Jaguars because this is in London and the
- 4:53Speaker 1: Jaguars are the London team here. Rams are a three
- 4:57Speaker 1: point favorite. They're up to three with juice. It looks
- 5:01Speaker 1: like the ticket percentages on Jacksonville, which or Londonville, which
- 5:05Speaker 1: I don't really understand, fifty four percent of tickets on them,
- 5:08Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the cash coming on on the Rams.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a slight disagreement with that. I don't
- 5:14Speaker 1: like the Rams in the spot. I actually lean to
- 5:16Speaker 1: the Jaguars here. The look ahead line is three and
- 5:20Speaker 1: a half, but I don't think that's really I don't
- 5:22Speaker 1: think that makes much of a difference. Other Rams are
- 5:24Speaker 1: gonna be without Pooka and Akua, which shouldn't really affect
- 5:27Speaker 1: the line that much, although of course he is their
- 5:29Speaker 1: best wide receiver so it will affect the game play
- 5:31Speaker 1: a little bit here. But looking at the spot, I
- 5:35Speaker 1: just think that the spot is probably a little bit
- 5:38Speaker 1: better for the Jaguars here. La. They're coming off a
- 5:41Speaker 1: win over the Ravens. I mean, say what you will.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I know, it's the Ravens without Lamar Jackson. The Ravens
- 5:47Speaker 1: just totally sliding right now, just an injury plagued Baltimore team.
- 5:52Speaker 1: But it's still the Baltimore Ravens. It's still a pretty
- 5:54Speaker 1: good win for LA. On the road there, now they
- 5:57Speaker 1: gotta travel to London, so it's a second straight game
- 6:01Speaker 1: away from home here, a lot of travel. They had
- 6:03Speaker 1: to travel from West coast to East coast and now
- 6:05Speaker 1: they have to go across the Atlantic Ocean. I don't
- 6:08Speaker 1: love the spot for the Rams here, man. I think
- 6:11Speaker 1: the other thing about this is the Jags are more
- 6:13Speaker 1: used to this travel spot because the Jags are the
- 6:15Speaker 1: de facto London teams, so they play here every year,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and sometimes they play two weeks in a row in London,
- 6:22Speaker 1: so They're used to this. They know what although I
- 6:24Speaker 1: know they haven't done it under their new coach, Liam Cohen,
- 6:28Speaker 1: but a lot of their players are still there that
- 6:30Speaker 1: have done this. So the Jaguars are much more used
- 6:32Speaker 1: to this. And what did the Jaguars do. They flew
- 6:35Speaker 1: out on Monday, so immediately after they lost their game
- 6:40Speaker 1: on Sunday, just pack their bags they go. So I
- 6:43Speaker 1: think that's actually a positive because it seems to me
- 6:46Speaker 1: like if you determine, like when the teams get over
- 6:49Speaker 1: there to London, the teams that get there earlier, they
- 6:51Speaker 1: adjust to the time zone, and they have like many days,
- 6:55Speaker 1: they get, like an entire week to be adjusting to
- 6:57Speaker 1: that time zone, and then by the time Sunday comes
- 6:59Speaker 1: around their adjusted to it. Those teams tend to play
- 7:02Speaker 1: a lot better than the teams that go over there late.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Hint hint. That would be the Rams here, because the
- 7:08Speaker 1: Rams actually did not fly out until Friday, so Jacksonville
- 7:13Speaker 1: was in London already I think by Monday night, and
- 7:16Speaker 1: the Rams, who are not used to doing this, they're like, nah,
- 7:19Speaker 1: let's just go over there on Friday. So I think
- 7:21Speaker 1: that's another edge to Jacksonville here. So I think the
- 7:23Speaker 1: travel edged with Jacksonville with a familiarity of it, the
- 7:27Speaker 1: fact they're going to be more adjusted to the times
- 7:29Speaker 1: at this point, it's an advantage to Jacksonville. I know
- 7:33Speaker 1: the better coaches on the side of the rams with McVeigh,
- 7:35Speaker 1: I just don't care. I think the better spot, the
- 7:38Speaker 1: better set up here is for Jacksonville for all those reasons.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And Jacksonville did just lose last week. I know sometimes
- 7:45Speaker 1: when you lose a win streak, losing a game will
- 7:47Speaker 1: hang you over a little bit. But Jacksonville was in
- 7:50Speaker 1: a bad spot last week. Man I talked about that
- 7:52Speaker 1: they were on a short week. They had that big
- 7:54Speaker 1: win on Monday night, which was one of my plays
- 7:56Speaker 1: on the show against the Kansas City Chiefs. Looked like
- 7:59Speaker 1: we're gonna lose that game right near the end. Is
- 8:02Speaker 1: look like they were gonna fail to cover by a
- 8:04Speaker 1: half point right near the end, and Trevor Lawrence did
- 8:07Speaker 1: his version of stumblebum if you want to call it
- 8:11Speaker 1: that the Ben Johnson offensive play that he was running
- 8:13Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions, except it was not planned and
- 8:18Speaker 1: Lawrence actually fell down, wasn't touched, got up, got into
- 8:22Speaker 1: the end zone. One of the craziest winning touchdowns you'll
- 8:24Speaker 1: ever see. Coming off that huge win, Jacksonville was not
- 8:28Speaker 1: in a good spot. They were in a letdown spot.
- 8:30Speaker 1: They lost to this Seattle team. That's really surprising everyone. Man.
- 8:34Speaker 1: I don't know if I may have to reassess Sam
- 8:37Speaker 1: Darnold here, who I've always said was a bust. Maybe
- 8:41Speaker 1: you put him in a good system. Maybe he's better.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I mean it seems that way, although he's still caved
- 8:47Speaker 1: under the pressure of the big game last year. We
- 8:49Speaker 1: will see if that remains the case. But we're not
- 8:51Speaker 1: talking about Seattle yet here. We're talking about the Jags.
- 8:53Speaker 1: They had an awful offensive performance in that game, lost
- 8:56Speaker 1: twenty to twelve. I think it's gonna be good for
- 8:58Speaker 1: them after that game. Just get the fuck up, which
- 9:00Speaker 1: is what they did right away. And I think maybe
- 9:02Speaker 1: they were even looking ahead to the London game a
- 9:04Speaker 1: little bit. Man. I think maybe it was a little
- 9:06Speaker 1: bit of a sandwich spot, so not just a letdown spot,
- 9:09Speaker 1: but looking ahead to having to go to London here,
- 9:12Speaker 1: which is you know, it's at least kind of a
- 9:14Speaker 1: It's one of those isolated games that gets like national
- 9:16Speaker 1: TV attention for the people that are actually up at
- 9:21Speaker 1: nine thirty in the morning Eastern time, worth six thirty
- 9:23Speaker 1: in the morning Pacific time, so good luck for other
- 9:26Speaker 1: RAMS fans there. I want to watch this shitty game,
- 9:28Speaker 1: but in the Pacific coast time isn't that great. I'm
- 9:32Speaker 1: gonna lean to Jacksonville and that one. They'll plus the
- 9:34Speaker 1: points this board this week. I don't like the board
- 9:38Speaker 1: very much. Man. I'm just telling you right now, there
- 9:40Speaker 1: are some games that I've really struggled because I give
- 9:43Speaker 1: out an opinion on the side on every game here,
- 9:46Speaker 1: which hopefully can help people with their pick them pools.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I'm doing really well in my pick them pool, just
- 9:50Speaker 1: picking every single game. I should just bet every single game,
- 9:54Speaker 1: and I'd be winning. Man. It's doing better than my
- 9:56Speaker 1: actual plays and way better than my pick five entry,
- 9:59Speaker 1: which ridiculous. So I have those additional like cuts, like
- 10:03Speaker 1: those last cuts that don't make my actual plays, because
- 10:06Speaker 1: I think my plays are actually winning, but those last
- 10:08Speaker 1: cuts they've been bad. I don't get it. And then
- 10:11Speaker 1: my overall plays, my overall picks are just winning. So
- 10:13Speaker 1: I don't know, man, But this week I've struggled to
- 10:16Speaker 1: tell you that. Now you're gonna know what my strongest
- 10:18Speaker 1: opinions are though, because I'll tell you there are certain
- 10:20Speaker 1: games where, even if I'm not gonna give it out
- 10:22Speaker 1: as a play, it's pretty unlikely I'm gonna change my
- 10:25Speaker 1: opinion on a couple of these other games. So I
- 10:27Speaker 1: will point those out if I can. But I mean,
- 10:31Speaker 1: I mean, I might second guess myself here going through this,
- 10:34Speaker 1: but we will say blonde Laura Loomer, Yeah that. I
- 10:38Speaker 1: don't know who that woman is, Melanie Collins, but she's
- 10:41Speaker 1: she's probably a Zionist as well, just like Laura Lomer.
- 10:46Speaker 1: All Right, we get into the the actual Sunday slate
- 10:49Speaker 1: one PM. I'm gonna go based on the board again.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I went based on the schedule last week. I'm gonna
- 10:54Speaker 1: do it based on the betting order here, Raiders Chiefs
- 10:59Speaker 1: at one pm, the Chiefs from ten and a half
- 11:01Speaker 1: to twelve. So the Chiefs getting the respect from the
- 11:04Speaker 1: market again, or maybe the Raiders getting disrespect here. But
- 11:07Speaker 1: the Chiefs all of a sudden look like their offense
- 11:09Speaker 1: is starting to click here is it? And I'm not
- 11:12Speaker 1: really entirely sure about that. I mean, Mahomes has been
- 11:15Speaker 1: really good, which is good for me because I have
- 11:17Speaker 1: him on my fantasy team in my main league. He
- 11:20Speaker 1: got Xavier Worthy back and then Rashie Rice is coming
- 11:24Speaker 1: back this week. I don't know how involved Rice is
- 11:25Speaker 1: gonna be. Rice was suspended for the first six games
- 11:29Speaker 1: or whatever because he drove drunk in over one hundred
- 11:33Speaker 1: miles an hour and caused a six car pile up.
- 11:35Speaker 1: And the only reason he's probably not in jail is well,
- 11:39Speaker 1: one because he's in the NFL, but two because he
- 11:43Speaker 1: didn't kill anybody. So I think that's probably the reason
- 11:46Speaker 1: why he's on my fantasy team. By the way, I
- 11:48Speaker 1: love those fantasy players that caused six car pile ups
- 11:52Speaker 1: by driving drunk, you know, basically the speed of light.
- 11:56Speaker 1: It's fucking awesome, man, That's what I do. Charles, what's
- 11:59Speaker 1: up man? Thanks for hanging out. But yeah, the Chiefs,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I mean, their offense has been better recently. I don't
- 12:04Speaker 1: know if Rice is going to be like totally up
- 12:06Speaker 1: to speed ye though, although he's been allowed to practice
- 12:09Speaker 1: since I think week three or four. That's just what
- 12:12Speaker 1: the rule is, so he's not like coming in totally cold.
- 12:15Speaker 1: And I mean he's been in this system for a while,
- 12:17Speaker 1: so it probably won't take him that long to ramp up.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I just don't know how much they're gonna use him
- 12:21Speaker 1: in this game. Seventy three percent of tickets, seventy seven
- 12:23Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the Chiefs, it seems like
- 12:27Speaker 1: a large spread to be lame man. Total's right, kind
- 12:30Speaker 1: of in the mid level of totals here, forty five,
- 12:33Speaker 1: forty five and a half whatever. Not a high total,
- 12:36Speaker 1: not a low total. But the Chiefs they don't cover
- 12:40Speaker 1: my margin that often, man, I mean last year they
- 12:43Speaker 1: really didn't. They had a lot of one score wins.
- 12:45Speaker 1: You're asking a lot of the Chiefs to win by
- 12:48Speaker 1: margin like this. It's just not something that they tend
- 12:51Speaker 1: to do that often. And against the Raiders they actually
- 12:54Speaker 1: really struggled to do so too. They've had a lot
- 12:57Speaker 1: of really close calls against the Raiders recently, and I
- 12:59Speaker 1: think have beaten them a couple of times recently too.
- 13:02Speaker 1: So the Raiders, no matter how bad they are, they
- 13:04Speaker 1: seem to just step it up against the Chiefs every
- 13:07Speaker 1: time they played them. And the Chiefs are coming off
- 13:09Speaker 1: a really big win on Monday night that was a
- 13:12Speaker 1: statement win at bouncing back from that, or Sunday night,
- 13:15Speaker 1: excuse me, a statement win after losing a Monday Night
- 13:18Speaker 1: to the Jaguars. Sunday night, they beat the Detroit Lions
- 13:21Speaker 1: thirty to seventeen. Chiefs got some benefit of some calls
- 13:25Speaker 1: in that game. I did lean to the Chiefs in
- 13:27Speaker 1: that game. I think they probably would have won the
- 13:30Speaker 1: game anyway, but they did get a lot of a
- 13:33Speaker 1: lot of calls that went their way in that game too.
- 13:35Speaker 1: But that's a big win over Detroit. Man. And then
- 13:37Speaker 1: there was like a scrum at the end of the
- 13:39Speaker 1: game where I don't remember who the player was, but
- 13:43Speaker 1: I don't even remember exactly what. I think Mahomes went
- 13:45Speaker 1: to shake somebody's hand on Detroit and whoever the Detroit
- 13:48Speaker 1: player was refused to do so, and then Juju smith
- 13:52Speaker 1: Schuster took issue with that and was like, what the fuck, man,
- 13:56Speaker 1: why are you not shaking his hand? And then the
- 13:58Speaker 1: dude punched smith Schuster, and then smith Schuster kind of
- 14:01Speaker 1: went back at them, and then it was like this
- 14:03Speaker 1: pile up out. But it was insane, man, That's what
- 14:06Speaker 1: happened at the end of the game. However you want
- 14:08Speaker 1: to look at it. It was a big win on primetime,
- 14:10Speaker 1: emotional game. And now the Chiefs come off of that,
- 14:12Speaker 1: and they play this awful Raiders team that's in last
- 14:16Speaker 1: place in their division yet again. And then they do
- 14:18Speaker 1: have somewhat of a bigger game up next against Washington,
- 14:21Speaker 1: which is gonna be at least with Jayden and Daniels back.
- 14:23Speaker 1: And by the way, that's another primetime game. I think
- 14:25Speaker 1: that's another Monday night game. So the Chiefs. Look at
- 14:28Speaker 1: what the Chiefs have done so far. Man. They played
- 14:31Speaker 1: in Brazil against the Chargers, huge divisional game, you know,
- 14:36Speaker 1: out of country game. That was an isolated game that
- 14:39Speaker 1: everybody watched on I think a Friday night or something.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Then they played the Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Then they had a Sunday night game against the Giants.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I know the Giants sucked, but it's still a primetime game.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Then they had a huge game over Baltimore, which was
- 14:54Speaker 1: still against Baltimore. They beat Baltimore which was still Baltimore
- 14:57Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson until he got hurt in that game.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Then they played a Monday night game against Jacksonville, and
- 15:03Speaker 1: then they played a Sunday night game against Detroit. So
- 15:06Speaker 1: there's like no letup in the schedule. Man. This is
- 15:08Speaker 1: like the led up spot here, So I don't think
- 15:11Speaker 1: it's a great spot for Kansas City. I mean, I
- 15:13Speaker 1: was looking at the market and seeing the money kind
- 15:15Speaker 1: of coming in at Kansas City, and it seemed like
- 15:18Speaker 1: like the public sentiment was kind of maybe thinking that
- 15:21Speaker 1: the line maybe a little bit too big with the
- 15:23Speaker 1: Chiefs at this point. But I'm second guessing that just
- 15:26Speaker 1: based on the spot, I would not lay the points
- 15:28Speaker 1: of the Chiefs here. And then again, they have that
- 15:30Speaker 1: primetime game up after that against Washington, then they face Buffalo, Denver,
- 15:34Speaker 1: the Colts, Dallas. I mean, every one of these games
- 15:37Speaker 1: is bigger than this Raiders one. I mean, this is like,
- 15:40Speaker 1: this is the flat spot in the Kansas City schedule here.
- 15:44Speaker 1: And say what you will about the Raiders, but they're
- 15:47Speaker 1: probably gonna show up for this game at least. And
- 15:49Speaker 1: the Raiders finally got a win after not having one
- 15:51Speaker 1: six week one they were able to win. I know
- 15:53Speaker 1: it was against the Tennessee Titans. They suck, They're probably
- 15:56Speaker 1: the worst team in football, but at least that gives
- 15:58Speaker 1: the Raiders a little bit of confidence and some I
- 16:01Speaker 1: think momentum coming into this one. So I'm gonna lean
- 16:03Speaker 1: to taking the points of the Raiders in this game,
- 16:07Speaker 1: not gonna have not gonna be a play for me.
- 16:09Speaker 1: We'll just put it that way. But yeah, I'll slightly
- 16:11Speaker 1: lean to the Raiders and that one. But it's definitely
- 16:13Speaker 1: not a strong opinion roid Rage. It wasn't like one
- 16:17Speaker 1: of the big dudes though. It was like, I forget
- 16:19Speaker 1: who it was actually on Detroit. You'd have to go
- 16:22Speaker 1: look it up. It wasn't like one of their like
- 16:24Speaker 1: linemen or anything like that. I don't think it was
- 16:26Speaker 1: like the super Jack dude, Nate, what's up man? Thanks
- 16:29Speaker 1: for hanging out. Yeah, d Jasser, Toad and Crux. You've
- 16:33Speaker 1: still not figured out my my Italian last name, which
- 16:37Speaker 1: is not my actual last name, but the Italian name
- 16:40Speaker 1: that got carried through on my my mom's mom's side.
- 16:46Speaker 1: All right, this is still taking too long. I'm only
- 16:48Speaker 1: talk about two fucking games. Damn Dolphins, Browns. How about
- 16:53Speaker 1: this game? This is a great game. Also at one
- 16:56Speaker 1: pm Eastern the total the totals down from forty one
- 16:58Speaker 1: to thirty five and a half. Sounds like it's gonna
- 17:01Speaker 1: be an amazing game here. Dolphins, I mean, their offense
- 17:04Speaker 1: is just struggling. They lost Tyreek Hill this I mean,
- 17:07Speaker 1: Tua doesn't look good anymore. This Dolphins offense is just shit.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Sounds like maybe eight chan once out of there. Mike
- 17:14Speaker 1: McDaniel probably gonna get fired bad, bad times for the Dolphins. Uh, Cleveland,
- 17:20Speaker 1: at the very least, you can say Cleveland has a
- 17:22Speaker 1: pretty solid defense. They got rid of Joe Flacco, and
- 17:26Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Joe Flacco looks pretty good with
- 17:28Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean, he's got a lot, like
- 17:30Speaker 1: a decent amount of talent on that Cincinnati offense around him,
- 17:33Speaker 1: which the Browns don't have. But the Browns they're struggling offensively.
- 17:37Speaker 1: So that's why this total is this low. And the
- 17:39Speaker 1: money is coming on the under. Though, if you want
- 17:41Speaker 1: the under at this point, I don't think you could
- 17:43Speaker 1: really do it. I mean, if you've got forty one,
- 17:45Speaker 1: good for you, because that was a key number and
- 17:47Speaker 1: you got the best of it. But at this point
- 17:50Speaker 1: I don't think you could play the under. But the
- 17:51Speaker 1: money has come in that way. Browns are two and
- 17:54Speaker 1: a half point favorite Browns. When are they ever a favorite? Man?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Going up towards three here on the line, fifty five
- 18:02Speaker 1: percent ticket, seventy three percent of the cash on the Browns.
- 18:05Speaker 1: The money's coming in on the Browns. Oh and by
- 18:09Speaker 1: the way, let's sey I forgot to talk about the
- 18:10Speaker 1: look ahead line. The Chiefs were ten and a half,
- 18:12Speaker 1: by the way, in the look ahead. So the fact
- 18:14Speaker 1: which you can see here too, I think the look
- 18:16Speaker 1: ahead is kind of the opener and a lot of
- 18:18Speaker 1: these cases here, but the factor up to twelve means
- 18:21Speaker 1: that that move was basically just based off last week.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Last week's results too, so you're getting a little bit
- 18:26Speaker 1: extra value at the Raiders based on that. The look
- 18:29Speaker 1: ahead line is what the line was before last week's
- 18:31Speaker 1: games were played, so you can kind of gauge, like
- 18:33Speaker 1: what the overreaction was this week, So that line moved.
- 18:37Speaker 1: The Browns line was the same two and a half.
- 18:39Speaker 1: But I actually leaned to the Browns in this one.
- 18:41Speaker 1: They got seventy three percent of the catch. The Browns
- 18:44Speaker 1: are actually getting the money here, and I lean that
- 18:46Speaker 1: way basically because the Browns have a big defensive edge
- 18:49Speaker 1: in this game. They clearly have the better defense here.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Miami's coming up a tough game too. Man. Miami played
- 18:54Speaker 1: really well actually against the Chargers, or they played well
- 18:58Speaker 1: enough that they had the lead late in that game,
- 19:00Speaker 1: and then they had like a heartbreaking loss right at
- 19:03Speaker 1: the end. They scored with forty six seconds left. They're
- 19:07Speaker 1: actually down by thirteen in the fourth quarter, and they
- 19:10Speaker 1: scored twice in the final eight minutes, including with forty
- 19:14Speaker 1: six seconds left to take the lead over the Chargers,
- 19:18Speaker 1: and then they still lost the game on a field
- 19:20Speaker 1: goal right at the end by Dick Or the kicker.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Miami got dicked in that game and they wound up
- 19:28Speaker 1: losing the game. Just absolutely brutal. They could have had
- 19:31Speaker 1: like a decent statement win. Miami did also have three
- 19:35Speaker 1: turnovers in the game. They got outgained in the game,
- 19:38Speaker 1: so it should have been kind of an easier win
- 19:40Speaker 1: ish for the Chargers. Although I liked Miami to cover
- 19:43Speaker 1: that spread and that one they did that was one
- 19:45Speaker 1: of my leans. Didn't give it out as a play.
- 19:47Speaker 1: But the fact that Miami's coming off that brutal loss,
- 19:49Speaker 1: now they have to go on the road up to Cleveland. Miami,
- 19:52Speaker 1: by the way, they haven't been good on the road.
- 19:54Speaker 1: They lost thirty three to eight to Indianapolis, thirty one
- 19:57Speaker 1: to twenty one to Buffalo on Thursday night, lost Carolina
- 20:00Speaker 1: on the road, their own three on the road. I
- 20:03Speaker 1: lost by only three to Carolina, but it's still not good.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Now they're going up to Cleveland and we're starting to
- 20:07Speaker 1: get into fall weather man, so this is maybe gonna
- 20:10Speaker 1: be a little bit cooler. Well, it's gonna be rainy
- 20:12Speaker 1: at least. I guess it's gonna be sixty five, which
- 20:14Speaker 1: kind of surprises me because it's been like forties and
- 20:17Speaker 1: fifties up here in Boston recently. But still sixty five rain.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Not the greatest of weather, I don't think for this
- 20:24Speaker 1: Miami team. Cleveland, on the other hand, they're coming off
- 20:27Speaker 1: getting trounced by Pittsburgh, and I know I liked Cleveland
- 20:30Speaker 1: last week. It was one of my plays, even though
- 20:32Speaker 1: they were coming back from London. I just thought that
- 20:34Speaker 1: Pittsburgh had that big look ahead spot to Cincinnati coming up.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Didn't like the spot for Pittsburgh. Didn't like the fact
- 20:40Speaker 1: they went into Thereby on a really good note but
- 20:43Speaker 1: didn't happen for us. Cleveland's offense is terrible, Dyan Gabriel terrible,
- 20:48Speaker 1: but I think they could do something against this Miami defense. Man.
- 20:52Speaker 1: I mean, they're stepping down in class here Minnesota's defense.
- 20:55Speaker 1: They faced a couple of weeks ago is much better
- 20:57Speaker 1: than Miami's. It's not even close. Pittsburgh's defense hasn't been great,
- 21:00Speaker 1: but they're still better than Miami's. So Cleveland may actually
- 21:04Speaker 1: be able to just do just enough to get this
- 21:06Speaker 1: win here, and the fact they're coming off a blowout loss,
- 21:09Speaker 1: I think they're gonna maybe fix some things during the
- 21:12Speaker 1: week and maybe they look a little bit worse than
- 21:14Speaker 1: maybe they really are right now. I know they got
- 21:16Speaker 1: to get Dylan Gabriel up to speed and maybe he
- 21:18Speaker 1: won't even actually be that good. But Miami's office doesn't
- 21:21Speaker 1: look that good either, So I think it's gonna be
- 21:22Speaker 1: an ugly, low scoring game. It'll be a defensive game,
- 21:25Speaker 1: which I think does actually favor Cleveland. That's the way
- 21:29Speaker 1: that I would look Dolphins coming up that brutal loss,
- 21:32Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's the way to go. It's Mussolini, Yes,
- 21:37Speaker 1: you're correct, actually, which plays into my fascism. Toe to
- 21:42Speaker 1: scene and that's closed as well. Bonaparte, that's Bonaparte day, Bonaparte,
- 21:47Speaker 1: that's not Italian. He's the dick kicker. Yeah, the bees
- 21:53Speaker 1: will not play well in the cold ring. Who the
- 21:55Speaker 1: fuck are the bees? The Cleveland Browns the other I
- 21:59Speaker 1: don't know what we're talking about right now. You don't
- 22:01Speaker 1: think the Browns will play well in the rain? I
- 22:05Speaker 1: don't know what we're what we're alluding to there? Next
- 22:08Speaker 1: up New England at Tennessee, Patriots at Titans. Patriots are
- 22:11Speaker 1: very public side now they're laying seven on the road.
- 22:16Speaker 1: The look ahead on this was where are we at?
- 22:18Speaker 1: Was six? So the Patriots. The line's gone up a
- 22:22Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, seven is a key number here,
- 22:24Speaker 1: and it's seven even money right now on the Patriots.
- 22:26Speaker 1: You'll probably be able to get the full seven at
- 22:28Speaker 1: minus one ten on the Titans, if you really want
- 22:31Speaker 1: to do it, I would lean that way. I do
- 22:34Speaker 1: lean to the Titans here, but I do have some
- 22:36Speaker 1: reservations about it, which, of course, some of it is
- 22:39Speaker 1: that the Titans suck, but of course that's being built
- 22:41Speaker 1: into the line. Patriots, I think they're getting a little
- 22:43Speaker 1: bit too much respect, basically since they beat Buffalo. I
- 22:46Speaker 1: think they're getting a little bit too much respect. Eighty
- 22:48Speaker 1: four percent of tickets, seventy nine percent of the cash
- 22:51Speaker 1: public all over the Patriots now. But some of it is,
- 22:54Speaker 1: I mean, some of it is that the Patriots have
- 22:56Speaker 1: looked good with Drake May over the last few games.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Some of it is that the titan are just probably
- 23:01Speaker 1: the worst team in football. So all of that has
- 23:04Speaker 1: to do with why the public is on the New
- 23:07Speaker 1: England side. I think it's too many points though New England.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I mean, of course I went against them last week.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I loved New Orleans last week, and New Orleans didn't
- 23:16Speaker 1: get it done for us. They played competitively still and
- 23:19Speaker 1: only lost by six. I thought it was a major
- 23:22Speaker 1: letdown spot for New England. After New England, they basically
- 23:25Speaker 1: looked too good against Carolina, which was a win for us.
- 23:27Speaker 1: On the show, I had a New England in that
- 23:30Speaker 1: game against Carolina on the show and they blew them out,
- 23:33Speaker 1: but the score was a bit misleading. Carolina, I think
- 23:36Speaker 1: had some turnovers in the game. It wasn't a huge
- 23:38Speaker 1: yard a judge for New England in that one. And
- 23:40Speaker 1: then New England had that huge win over Buffalo, of
- 23:42Speaker 1: course on the road in primetime. Everybody saw it. But
- 23:45Speaker 1: really that's the Patriots only good win. I mean, who
- 23:48Speaker 1: else did they beat? They beat Miami at New Orleans
- 23:51Speaker 1: and Carolina. I mean, those are not impressive wins. Otherwise,
- 23:54Speaker 1: those are some of the worst teams in football, though
- 23:56Speaker 1: I know Carolina is decent ish I guess at three
- 23:59Speaker 1: and three, but those are still not very impressive wins,
- 24:02Speaker 1: and they caught Carolina in a bad spot off of
- 24:05Speaker 1: that blowout of Atlanta, which was also one of my
- 24:08Speaker 1: wins on the show. So I'll tune my own horn
- 24:12Speaker 1: when I can, but I'll admit my losses too. New
- 24:15Speaker 1: England did deserve to win against Pittsburgh, though they had
- 24:18Speaker 1: a huge turnover disadvantage in that game that costs in
- 24:21Speaker 1: that game. They should have won against Pittsburgh, So I
- 24:24Speaker 1: mean that is at least one indicator that New England
- 24:27Speaker 1: actually did have a good game against a decent team
- 24:30Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh. But still, I think at some point there's
- 24:33Speaker 1: got to be a letdown. I thought that it was
- 24:34Speaker 1: gonna be last week. It wasn't really. Now they're playing
- 24:37Speaker 1: a third road game in three weeks. That's not a
- 24:39Speaker 1: good spot either. That's kind of rare in the NFL
- 24:41Speaker 1: to have to play three road games over the course
- 24:44Speaker 1: of three straight weeks. I don't think that's great. Vrabel
- 24:49Speaker 1: will get up for it, though, because of course he
- 24:50Speaker 1: got fired by Tennessee, even though he was a good
- 24:53Speaker 1: coach for Tennessee and the Tennessee has been awful since
- 24:56Speaker 1: his firing, So Forrabel might be a little bit pissed.
- 24:59Speaker 1: So yeah, he's probably gonna be a little bit motivated.
- 25:01Speaker 1: So if the Patriots do happen to have the lead,
- 25:04Speaker 1: he's probably not not going to take his foot off
- 25:06Speaker 1: the gas. So that's kind of the one issue I
- 25:08Speaker 1: might have with Tennessee here. Other than that I would
- 25:10Speaker 1: lean that way. I still do lean that way to Tennessee.
- 25:13Speaker 1: It's just certainly it's not going to be a play
- 25:15Speaker 1: for me. Tennessee coming off another embarrassing loss, just an
- 25:18Speaker 1: ugly loss to the Raiders, which by the way, that
- 25:21Speaker 1: was their third road game in a row. Or they
- 25:24Speaker 1: had to go to Houston, Arizona and then Vegas is
- 25:26Speaker 1: going out west there, so it wasn't the greatest spot.
- 25:29Speaker 1: I didn't like Tennessee in that spot after they got
- 25:31Speaker 1: that ridiculous upset win bullshit win basically over Arizona, although
- 25:37Speaker 1: my leen was correct, and that one of my leen
- 25:38Speaker 1: was correct in the in the Vegas one too, But
- 25:41Speaker 1: coming back home, I do think Tennessee will at least
- 25:44Speaker 1: come out and show something in this game. I mean
- 25:45Speaker 1: they will probably be motivated to try to beat Vrabel
- 25:48Speaker 1: as well, to try to prove that, hey, this was like,
- 25:51Speaker 1: this is the right move to try to beat this
- 25:54Speaker 1: is the right move to get rid of vray Ball,
- 25:56Speaker 1: though I think clearly it was not. But I think
- 25:58Speaker 1: Tennessee will at least somewhat be motivated to try to
- 26:01Speaker 1: beat him. So I think that motivation does go both ways.
- 26:05Speaker 1: It's it's a pretty ugly game. It's an ugly lean,
- 26:08Speaker 1: but I would take the points to Tennessee if I
- 26:10Speaker 1: was going to play it. Oh brown Skin, Yeah, well,
- 26:13Speaker 1: I mean I don't know about that, man, because like
- 26:16Speaker 1: India has a lot of monsoons, man, So I don't know.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Saints Bears is gonna be one of my plays that
- 26:23Speaker 1: barely made the cut for me. It was my last
- 26:26Speaker 1: addition to my card. I'll leave that for the end.
- 26:29Speaker 1: For the best bets Eagles Vikings, this is a very
- 26:32Speaker 1: difficult game for me to figure out. The Eagles look
- 26:35Speaker 1: like they're still public, seventy one percent of tickets, only
- 26:37Speaker 1: seventy percent of the cash on them. Down from a
- 26:39Speaker 1: two and a half point favorite to a one and
- 26:41Speaker 1: app point favorite. So the osmakers are respecting the Eagles
- 26:44Speaker 1: enough that they're favoring them on the road. Part of
- 26:46Speaker 1: it is because the Vikings have quarterback issues. I don't
- 26:50Speaker 1: even think we know who their quarterback is going to
- 26:51Speaker 1: be here, Wentz has been filling in for JJ McCarthy.
- 26:56Speaker 1: I believe the Vikings are coming out of a bye,
- 26:58Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken by the way. The two buys
- 27:01Speaker 1: this week are Buffalo and Baltimore. Just so you know,
- 27:04Speaker 1: Minnesota and Houston I believe had byes last week, So yeah,
- 27:07Speaker 1: Minnesota is coming out of a bye. They went into
- 27:10Speaker 1: the bye with a win in London. They actually played
- 27:13Speaker 1: in Dublin and in London, so this is They haven't
- 27:16Speaker 1: played in the US since September twenty first, which is ridiculous,
- 27:22Speaker 1: but it might be a little bit of a better
- 27:24Speaker 1: spot for Minnesota for that reason. Man, I'm not gonna
- 27:26Speaker 1: say they went into the buy in a good note
- 27:28Speaker 1: necessarily because when you go into the buy in a
- 27:30Speaker 1: good note, I think that that buye disrupts your momentum
- 27:32Speaker 1: and it's bad. But I think this bye is actually
- 27:35Speaker 1: helpful to them. Even though they won their last game
- 27:37Speaker 1: in London against Cleveland. They had the advantage there because
- 27:40Speaker 1: they were only going from Dublin to London going into
- 27:42Speaker 1: that game, and the Vikings played in London last year
- 27:45Speaker 1: or two, and they had the better coach in fucking
- 27:51Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, which, by the way, I forgot to mention Cleveland.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Did Cleveland fire their coach or did they not? Like
- 27:59Speaker 1: I saw I thought as somebody tweeted out that they
- 28:01Speaker 1: fired Steffans Gear or whatever his zam is, maybe they
- 28:03Speaker 1: didn't do that. I don't know. Somebody can let me
- 28:07Speaker 1: know if they actually did. But if they did, that
- 28:09Speaker 1: would be a fired coach spot where when the team
- 28:11Speaker 1: fires their coach, I do like to look towards that team,
- 28:14Speaker 1: but I already do lean to Cleveland. If it was
- 28:16Speaker 1: a fire coach spot, would I give it out as
- 28:19Speaker 1: a play, No, probably not, But I'm just kind of
- 28:21Speaker 1: interested in knowing that just because that would be a
- 28:25Speaker 1: little bit of a stronger play on Cleveland if they did,
- 28:27Speaker 1: because the team usually gets a little bit of a
- 28:30Speaker 1: spark when they fire their coach. But anyway, back to Minnesota,
- 28:33Speaker 1: I think the buye will help them returning back home.
- 28:35Speaker 1: It was kind of an ugly game against Cleveland Man,
- 28:38Speaker 1: so they didn't exactly go into the buy in a
- 28:40Speaker 1: great note, they got an extra week to prepare for
- 28:42Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champ Philadelphia. I almost said the Philadelphia
- 28:46Speaker 1: Phillies the Philadelphia Eagles for Philly, let's call them Philly.
- 28:52Speaker 1: So at Minnesota, you know they're gonna get up for
- 28:54Speaker 1: this game at the very least Philadelphia. Of course, they
- 28:58Speaker 1: did not have a bye last week. They took a loss, though,
- 29:02Speaker 1: and they do have some time off because they played
- 29:04Speaker 1: on Thursday, so they have a kind of a mini buy,
- 29:08Speaker 1: I guess if you want to call it that. And
- 29:09Speaker 1: they didn't play well either, so they do have some
- 29:11Speaker 1: extra time off to prepare for this too. So I
- 29:13Speaker 1: think that extra time off is somewhat helpful for Philadelphia
- 29:16Speaker 1: because that was kind of an ugly loss. Or they
- 29:18Speaker 1: were a favorite against the New York Giants. Jackson dart
- 29:21Speaker 1: are really Scatterboo looked really good in that game for
- 29:25Speaker 1: the Giants. I leaned to the Giants in that one.
- 29:27Speaker 1: We had that one right on the show as a
- 29:29Speaker 1: lean with my Thursday night dominance continuing, which by the way,
- 29:34Speaker 1: I did wind up picking Cincinnati. I hes I was
- 29:38Speaker 1: going back and forth on that game, man. So I
- 29:40Speaker 1: know I was leaning to Pittsburgh that morning, but the
- 29:42Speaker 1: final market read I went with Cincinnati. So I got
- 29:45Speaker 1: yet another Thursday night game. Right, I'm seven and zero
- 29:48Speaker 1: on the Thursday night spreads, which is ridiculous. But anyway,
- 29:51Speaker 1: Philadelphia ugly loss. They had two losses in a row
- 29:54Speaker 1: as favorites to Denver and the Giants. Now they do
- 29:57Speaker 1: have extra time off here, so that is going to
- 29:59Speaker 1: be helpful to them too. So I think both teams
- 30:01Speaker 1: are gonna kind of show up for this game focused.
- 30:05Speaker 1: It's just that, I mean, it looks like the anti
- 30:08Speaker 1: public read here would be to play the Vikings and
- 30:11Speaker 1: fade the Eagles here. Man. I mean, it's it's difficult.
- 30:17Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a decent spot for the
- 30:18Speaker 1: Eagles to bounce back from that ugly loss, though. But
- 30:21Speaker 1: the Eagles really they have not been anywhere near as
- 30:24Speaker 1: good as last year. Man. Their offense has been struggling.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like they're wide receivers are just
- 30:29Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, there's something kind of wrong
- 30:32Speaker 1: with aj Brown. It looks like to me, Hurts hasn't
- 30:35Speaker 1: been very good. Barkley has been way down this year.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Don't know what's going on with that Eagles offense. And
- 30:39Speaker 1: they lost a lot of their defensive personnel from last
- 30:42Speaker 1: year too. All that's kind of a problem. So yeah,
- 30:45Speaker 1: this game is really difficult for me to read. I mean,
- 30:47Speaker 1: the if we, you know, just kind of default to
- 30:51Speaker 1: going with the market read because there's no real like
- 30:54Speaker 1: situation to really latch onto in this game. You would
- 30:57Speaker 1: have to, I guess, take the vikings plus the points.
- 30:59Speaker 1: But I mean, my initial kind of thought on this
- 31:04Speaker 1: was that I actually kind of leaned to Philly. Though
- 31:06Speaker 1: that was kind of my initial reaction on this game.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Maybe I don't still lean that way. It's gonna be difficult.
- 31:12Speaker 1: We got to figure out who the hell Minnesota. Like,
- 31:14Speaker 1: who's Minnesota starting at quarterback? Do we know? Let me
- 31:17Speaker 1: say J. J. McCarthy is questionable, So I think we
- 31:21Speaker 1: don't really know yet. I think if McCarthy is back,
- 31:24Speaker 1: I would say you've got to lean to the Eagles
- 31:26Speaker 1: that McCarthy comes back, because I think he's actually worse
- 31:29Speaker 1: than Wentz and it'll become that like kind of reverse
- 31:31Speaker 1: injured player spot when your injured quarterback comes back. There's
- 31:35Speaker 1: kind of a chemistry shift the team has to get
- 31:37Speaker 1: used to him being back in there. Sometimes the team
- 31:40Speaker 1: almost like takes their foot off the gas a little bit, thinking, hey,
- 31:42Speaker 1: we don't need to play as hard with our starter
- 31:44Speaker 1: back in here, even though maybe they think that they
- 31:48Speaker 1: need to play hard because McCarthy hasn't been good. But
- 31:51Speaker 1: if McCarthy's in there, I would almost switch my opinion
- 31:54Speaker 1: to the Eagles. Man. I think if Wentz stays in there,
- 31:58Speaker 1: maybe Minnesota makes more sense. Wins is just a more
- 32:01Speaker 1: experienced guy. Man. I think he's probably better than McCarthy
- 32:04Speaker 1: right now. So very very difficult game to figure that out.
- 32:08Speaker 1: The ugly players, well, I'm gonna give out some ugly
- 32:10Speaker 1: plays too, at least one. But the ugliest games here
- 32:14Speaker 1: are not These are not on my card. These are
- 32:16Speaker 1: just my leans. But I'm gonna make these picks in
- 32:19Speaker 1: like my overall pick them where I have to pick
- 32:21Speaker 1: every single game a barely pun. Yes, the Vikings, I
- 32:25Speaker 1: don't know if do they still have that male trans
- 32:29Speaker 1: d trans cheerleader. Whoever the hell that blade blaze, whoever
- 32:34Speaker 1: the hell that person is person? I don't know, man,
- 32:39Speaker 1: The Vikings, Yeah, I mean they're a pretty gay organization,
- 32:41Speaker 1: though generally I mean, they're they're called the Purple people eaters,
- 32:45Speaker 1: or they used to be, So what do you expect?
- 32:47Speaker 1: And they've never won a Super Bowl. I look ahead
- 32:50Speaker 1: on that game, By the way, it was Eagles minus three,
- 32:52Speaker 1: so it's a little bit shifted towards the Vikings now,
- 32:55Speaker 1: so almost like there's maybe even a little bit of
- 32:58Speaker 1: value on the Eagles at this point. But it's possible
- 33:01Speaker 1: that the line moved a little bit because of the
- 33:02Speaker 1: quarterback uncertainty, And maybe would the line actually move towards
- 33:06Speaker 1: the Vikings if it was McCarthy coming back, would it? Really?
- 33:10Speaker 1: I don't know. Man to me, I think the the
- 33:13Speaker 1: odsmakers actually realized that Wentz is better, but maybe I'm
- 33:16Speaker 1: wrong about that. Next up is Panthers Jets. I disagree
- 33:23Speaker 1: with the market in this one. The Panthers flipped from
- 33:25Speaker 1: two and a half to minus flip from plus two
- 33:27Speaker 1: and a half to minus one, I should say, so
- 33:29Speaker 1: they went from a two and a half dog to
- 33:31Speaker 1: one point favor here, So the look ahead was probably
- 33:33Speaker 1: the two and a half dog. Let me see. Yeah,
- 33:35Speaker 1: the Jets are minus two and a half on the
- 33:37Speaker 1: look ahead, but that was the look ahead. So this
- 33:40Speaker 1: opener the opener might not have been actually where the
- 33:42Speaker 1: line opened this week because it was two and a
- 33:45Speaker 1: half before last week, so it might have actually moved.
- 33:50Speaker 1: It might have actually moved towards the Panthers based on
- 33:52Speaker 1: the results last week, which is what I think happened,
- 33:55Speaker 1: because the Panthers had a big win last week and
- 33:57Speaker 1: the Jets continued to be ass So I could see
- 34:00Speaker 1: that being the case, and I think with the look
- 34:02Speaker 1: ahead being Jets two and a half and then the
- 34:04Speaker 1: line move based on what happened last week. As far
- 34:06Speaker 1: as the market percentages, though, we do see fifty nine
- 34:09Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Carolina with fifty two percent
- 34:11Speaker 1: of the tickets on the Jets. There's no way that
- 34:13Speaker 1: I buy that though. Do you really think the own
- 34:15Speaker 1: six Jets are a public ish side against a three
- 34:19Speaker 1: and three Carolina team that just beat the Dallas Cowboys.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think Carolina's got to be
- 34:26Speaker 1: the public team here. I mean, the public is only
- 34:28Speaker 1: gonna think that the Panthers is gonna win this game.
- 34:30Speaker 1: There's no way they're gonna play this Jets team. The
- 34:33Speaker 1: one drawback for the Jets is they're returning from London,
- 34:36Speaker 1: and I know, I still went with the Browns last
- 34:38Speaker 1: week on the return from London, and one of my
- 34:41Speaker 1: plays this week is gonna be on a team returning
- 34:43Speaker 1: from London, So I guess I should just you know,
- 34:46Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I should go to hell
- 34:49Speaker 1: for that. Maybe maybe I should lose all these bets
- 34:52Speaker 1: that I'm giving out on those But I still like
- 34:54Speaker 1: the play that I'm gonna give out that's on that team.
- 34:55Speaker 1: I like it a lot. It's my favorite play of
- 34:58Speaker 1: the week for the Jets. I mean, there were bad
- 35:00Speaker 1: team that's returning on from London, though, and they played well.
- 35:03Speaker 1: The Jets were one of my plays last week. It
- 35:05Speaker 1: was the only London play I've given out this year,
- 35:07Speaker 1: and they covered pretty easily against Denver, despite the fact
- 35:11Speaker 1: that Justin Fields had negative ten passing yards in the game,
- 35:16Speaker 1: which that included sacks. It wasn't all backwards throws, but
- 35:20Speaker 1: I think he had like I think his actual completions
- 35:23Speaker 1: were like forty yards worth or something, but he got
- 35:26Speaker 1: sacked so many times. I think he got sacked maybe
- 35:28Speaker 1: like seven times. That led it to a negative ten
- 35:32Speaker 1: passing yardage total. Absolutely ridiculous. But the Jets, they played
- 35:36Speaker 1: Denver tough man, and that's a physical opponent Denver. So
- 35:40Speaker 1: it's not the easiest spot for the Jets for sure.
- 35:42Speaker 1: They're coming back from London after facing a punishing defense
- 35:46Speaker 1: and actually coming close in a game where they were
- 35:48Speaker 1: seven and a half point underdogs. So yeah, I don't
- 35:52Speaker 1: love the Jets in the spot. I mean, that could
- 35:54Speaker 1: be maybe the reason why the market is coming in
- 35:56Speaker 1: on the Carolina side. But for Carolina, their own three
- 35:59Speaker 1: on the road, they lost at Jacksonville, at Arizona, and
- 36:03Speaker 1: at New England. Jacksonville, New England playing pretty well though
- 36:06Speaker 1: Arizona not. But Carolina they haven't been good on the road.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Their only wins are against Miami, who is ass Atlanta
- 36:16Speaker 1: in a very bad spot for Atlanta, which is why
- 36:19Speaker 1: I gave out Carolina in that game. And it was
- 36:21Speaker 1: a misleading final result to Atlanta outgained Carolina in that game,
- 36:24Speaker 1: which you wouldn't know it by the fact that Atlanta
- 36:27Speaker 1: lost thirty to nothing, but Atlanta had a bunch of
- 36:29Speaker 1: turnovers in the game. Yeah, Carolina got really helped out
- 36:32Speaker 1: in that game. And then Carolina had maybe their only
- 36:35Speaker 1: kind of legitimate win last week against Dallas with Rico Dowdell.
- 36:39Speaker 1: He's on my fantasy team. He's been really good against
- 36:42Speaker 1: these bad defenses in Miami. In Dallas are the Jets
- 36:45Speaker 1: of bad defense? I don't know. I mean they shouldn't be.
- 36:49Speaker 1: I mean, they've been a really good defense over the
- 36:51Speaker 1: last few years. Aaron Glenn in there doesn't seem to
- 36:54Speaker 1: be a very good coach. Also, I don't know. The
- 36:55Speaker 1: Jets haven't been excellent defensively this year, but they're still
- 36:59Speaker 1: they got to be better offensively the Miami. In Dallas, though,
- 37:02Speaker 1: you would have to think, uh so Carolina, they're having
- 37:06Speaker 1: to go on the road where they haven't been good.
- 37:07Speaker 1: They just beat Dallas, which was really a statement win.
- 37:10Speaker 1: And last time they had a statement win against Atlanta,
- 37:13Speaker 1: they went on the road and they got blasted by
- 37:15Speaker 1: New England. And that was, of course a game that
- 37:17Speaker 1: I gave out on New England. Like I said, it
- 37:19Speaker 1: was a terrible spot for Carolina. At this time, I'm
- 37:24Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant to want to fake Carolina off
- 37:26Speaker 1: of the that win over Dallas, but I do still
- 37:30Speaker 1: kind of lean that way. I don't buy that the
- 37:32Speaker 1: public is actually playing the Jets here in Carolina. Does
- 37:34Speaker 1: face the Bills next, which is a somewhat bigger opponent to,
- 37:38Speaker 1: and then Green Bay after that. So I'm gonna slightly
- 37:42Speaker 1: lean to the Jets. I mean this one, I'm kind
- 37:44Speaker 1: of hesitating on it, to be honest, because the Jets
- 37:46Speaker 1: don't seem like they're in a very good spot either.
- 37:48Speaker 1: To me. This total is just, man, it's ugly, down
- 37:51Speaker 1: from forty five to forty one, sixty percent of tickets
- 37:54Speaker 1: on the over, only fifty two percent of cash on
- 37:56Speaker 1: the over, money coming in strongly on the under. Here,
- 37:59Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an ugly game, but I
- 38:01Speaker 1: think if it's an ugly, low scoring game, I actually
- 38:03Speaker 1: think that helps the Jets because the Panthers are a
- 38:05Speaker 1: bad defense. They're more of an offensive team. So I
- 38:09Speaker 1: think if it's a lower scoring, ugly game, I think
- 38:11Speaker 1: that plays into the style that the Jets want to play.
- 38:15Speaker 1: So it's just absolutely, I mean, it's it's an ugly
- 38:18Speaker 1: game for sure. Yeah, Blade, is it Blade or Blaze?
- 38:25Speaker 1: I don't even remember oh Blade being foreshadowing? Yeah, that,
- 38:30Speaker 1: oh man, that that is a good one. I think
- 38:33Speaker 1: his name is actually Blaze, but maybe that's also foreshadowing
- 38:37Speaker 1: if they use fire to accomplish their goals. You don't
- 38:41Speaker 1: watch the Vikings games? Are you a Vikings fan? Charles,
- 38:44Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't know who your team is.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Next up we have We're in the four pm slate.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Now we got Wait, did I skip anything? What did
- 38:54Speaker 1: I do? I feel like I don't know. I felt
- 38:56Speaker 1: like I skipped something, and maybe I didn't. We got
- 38:58Speaker 1: my Indianapolis against the LA Chargers. Man, Colts, I think
- 39:07Speaker 1: are overperforming a bit. Man. The Chargers are up from
- 39:09Speaker 1: a one and after a two point favorite public taking
- 39:11Speaker 1: the Colts. They're kind of a public underdog here. Fifty
- 39:14Speaker 1: nine percent of tickets, only fifty six percent of the
- 39:16Speaker 1: cash on the Colts. And you know I warned you
- 39:18Speaker 1: about public underdogs. When the public likes a team that's
- 39:22Speaker 1: not even favored, you want to look to that team
- 39:24Speaker 1: that's the favorite. You're not having to lay too much
- 39:26Speaker 1: on the Chargers here. I'm gonna lean to the Chargers
- 39:28Speaker 1: in this game. This one. I don't think I'm gonna
- 39:30Speaker 1: change my opinion on this one. Chargers opened well the
- 39:34Speaker 1: look ahead I mean was one and a half. So
- 39:35Speaker 1: it's basically it hasn't really moved based on what happened
- 39:38Speaker 1: last week. I just think the Chargers, after not playing
- 39:41Speaker 1: that well the last few weeks, are under the radar.
- 39:45Speaker 1: They lost to the Giants. That was a horrible spot though.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I gave up the Giants as a play in that
- 39:50Speaker 1: game and Jackson Jackson darts first, start Jackson start, darts
- 39:56Speaker 1: start fart. Did you see the Jackson fart? By the way,
- 40:01Speaker 1: some Old Miss, not some I think a Georgia fan,
- 40:04Speaker 1: I mean against Ole Miss. A Georgia fan had a
- 40:06Speaker 1: Jackson fart sign. I'm like, dude, you realize he's in
- 40:09Speaker 1: the NFL now, right, He's not the quarterback for Ole
- 40:11Speaker 1: Miss anymore. I don't know, but it was on college
- 40:14Speaker 1: game day. I think it was the Georgia. It must
- 40:15Speaker 1: have been the Georgia Old Miss game. I tweeted it out.
- 40:19Speaker 1: But yeah, the Chargers after they started the season beating
- 40:22Speaker 1: the Chiefs in Brazil, huge win, beating the Raiders on
- 40:25Speaker 1: Monday night, and then beating Denver a huge divisional game
- 40:28Speaker 1: there too, three straight divisional games. It was a horrible
- 40:30Speaker 1: spot for them having to go to the East Coast
- 40:32Speaker 1: face a dart offense that had they had no game
- 40:35Speaker 1: film on. So I led to the Giants in that one.
- 40:38Speaker 1: We got that win, even though the Chargers made some
- 40:40Speaker 1: turnovers there too. Thought the Chargers were gonna maybe bounce
- 40:43Speaker 1: back in their return home, and they were looking to
- 40:46Speaker 1: do so. They were about to go up seventeen to
- 40:47Speaker 1: nothing in that game against Washington, and they turned it
- 40:50Speaker 1: over deep in Washington territory and then never scored again
- 40:53Speaker 1: and lost the game. Just pretty bad loss, really just
- 40:57Speaker 1: kind of brutal. I thought they had a much better
- 40:59Speaker 1: shot to win that game, so the public kind of
- 41:02Speaker 1: off of them a little bit. Olthough the public was
- 41:04Speaker 1: on them last week because they were playing Miami and
- 41:06Speaker 1: Miami sucks, and of course the Chargers had to go
- 41:09Speaker 1: back to the East Coast where they struggled. I thought
- 41:11Speaker 1: Miami would cover that and had a decent shot to
- 41:13Speaker 1: win outright, which was the case. Miami almost caught them.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Chargers got the win. But when you're the better team
- 41:20Speaker 1: like the Chargers and you're coming off a game where
- 41:22Speaker 1: it was an escape basically against a bad team, I
- 41:25Speaker 1: think you're gonna use that week to focus. Man. I
- 41:28Speaker 1: think they might have been even looking ahead to the
- 41:29Speaker 1: Colts because the Colts have been playing well this year,
- 41:32Speaker 1: so bad spot for the Chargers. They almost got caught.
- 41:34Speaker 1: I think they're gonna show up with a lot of
- 41:36Speaker 1: focus this week. And by the way, they're playing with
- 41:39Speaker 1: this new Charger power yellow alternate uniform. You like that shit,
- 41:44Speaker 1: I kind of like it. And this isn't a joke.
- 41:48Speaker 1: I think that when a team is playing with a
- 41:50Speaker 1: uniform that looks good, I think they play better. I'm
- 41:53Speaker 1: not joking. Like it's like when you dress like really
- 41:56Speaker 1: nice in like a suit, like I feel like shit
- 41:58Speaker 1: based on how I dress. Obviously, plays I get on
- 42:00Speaker 1: this is gonna be a horrible episode of Better Off Dead,
- 42:03Speaker 1: just like all of them because I'm always dressed like shit.
- 42:05Speaker 1: These are gonna be horrible plays, you know what I mean.
- 42:08Speaker 1: But I'm serious though, when a team plays, when a
- 42:12Speaker 1: team has a really nice looking uniform, they get like
- 42:15Speaker 1: more like swager, more confidence, they play a little bit better.
- 42:18Speaker 1: So I'm serious that I think that is a little
- 42:20Speaker 1: bit of It's a small fan I'm not gonna like
- 42:22Speaker 1: weigh that that heavily, but I think it is a
- 42:24Speaker 1: small factor for the Chargers here. And it looks like
- 42:28Speaker 1: the Lions are where and they're all black, by the way,
- 42:30Speaker 1: so that's gonna be I like that I actually like
- 42:32Speaker 1: the Lion's black uniforms. A lot of people don't like them.
- 42:35Speaker 1: It's a black helmet with the I think with the
- 42:37Speaker 1: blue lion, or no, it's a I think it's a
- 42:39Speaker 1: Is it a blue? I think it's a blue helmet
- 42:41Speaker 1: with a black lion and the rest of the uniform
- 42:43Speaker 1: is all black. I actually think it's cool looking, So
- 42:46Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'm in the minority on that one.
- 42:48Speaker 1: This Charger's uniform looks good though. I like the powder blue,
- 42:51Speaker 1: but I like this yellow too. It's flashy, man, so
- 42:55Speaker 1: no joke. I think it's a bounce back they get
- 42:57Speaker 1: to come back home here. Uh Indy on the other hand,
- 43:00Speaker 1: and I know Indy's also coming off of an escape,
- 43:02Speaker 1: which is why I don't really want to play this game.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Arizona was one of my plays last week, and Arizona
- 43:07Speaker 1: got us to cover there. Behind Jacoby Brissett baby in
- 43:11Speaker 1: the bounce back spot for Arizona and in the injured
- 43:13Speaker 1: player spot for Arizona last week, I thought they would
- 43:16Speaker 1: step up their game behind Jacoby Brissett. Brissette wasn't just
- 43:20Speaker 1: a game manager either. He actually played well in this game.
- 43:23Speaker 1: This Colts defense. I don't know. They looked a little
- 43:26Speaker 1: bit vulnerable in that game. I know they've been playing well,
- 43:29Speaker 1: but like, who have the Colts beaten? Look at their wins.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Miami Denver is their best win and they won on
- 43:35Speaker 1: a leverage call at the end of the game, which
- 43:38Speaker 1: was kind of bs. They beat Tennessee, we know they're horrible.
- 43:41Speaker 1: They beat the Raiders, they suck, and they beat Arizona
- 43:44Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback not good either, and they arguably
- 43:49Speaker 1: should have had the win against the Rams even though
- 43:51Speaker 1: they got outgained by the Rams. I'm still pissed about
- 43:53Speaker 1: a loss that I had with a play on the show.
- 43:56Speaker 1: On this show here, I gave out the Colts plus
- 43:58Speaker 1: three and a half in that game. Absolutely should have
- 44:00Speaker 1: covered that. The way that game ended was bullshit. That
- 44:03Speaker 1: would have been their best win of the season. Yeah,
- 44:05Speaker 1: they still play competitively, but that was a game where
- 44:08Speaker 1: they went out to the Pacific Coast and that was
- 44:09Speaker 1: their worst performance of the season. Now they're going back
- 44:12Speaker 1: out to the Pacific Coast again. I don't love it.
- 44:15Speaker 1: I would lean to the Chargers. It looks like Ward
- 44:21Speaker 1: is out with a concussion for the Colts too. I
- 44:23Speaker 1: don't know how much of an effect that's really gonna be,
- 44:25Speaker 1: but he's one of their cornerbacks, he's one of their
- 44:28Speaker 1: better secondary players, so that is obviously a bit of
- 44:31Speaker 1: a blow to the Colts as well. It's not gonna
- 44:33Speaker 1: affect the line that much, but not good at least
- 44:36Speaker 1: for the Colts. It would be worse if they were
- 44:39Speaker 1: playing a primetime game. I talk about that where these
- 44:41Speaker 1: more easterly teams and they have to go out to
- 44:43Speaker 1: the West Pacific coast and they have to play a
- 44:45Speaker 1: game it's really really late by their biological clock. That's
- 44:49Speaker 1: like the worst for them, which is that's gonna factor
- 44:52Speaker 1: into one of my plays this week, by the way,
- 44:54Speaker 1: not this one. This was only a four h five
- 44:56Speaker 1: pm Eastern one, so it's not gonna be a ridiculously
- 44:58Speaker 1: late game. But I still I think it's not a
- 45:00Speaker 1: good spot for the Colts really, even though it's again
- 45:03Speaker 1: kind of a bounce back spot ish off of that
- 45:07Speaker 1: close call against Arizona, But I just think LA the
- 45:11Speaker 1: spot sets up better for the Chargers. I'm not even
- 45:13Speaker 1: convinced that the Colts are the better team, by the way,
- 45:15Speaker 1: and the oddsmakers are actually telling you the Colts are
- 45:18Speaker 1: the better team right now. By lining the Chargers only
- 45:21Speaker 1: at two, I mean that's I don't know. I mean,
- 45:24Speaker 1: do you give the Chargers more than two for home
- 45:26Speaker 1: field though their home field advantage isn't that strong. But
- 45:29Speaker 1: if you think that it's two, then the books are
- 45:31Speaker 1: basically saying the Colts and the Chargers are even as
- 45:35Speaker 1: far as like what their power ratings are. But I
- 45:37Speaker 1: kind of disagree with that. I actually think the Chargers
- 45:39Speaker 1: are still the slightly better team. The Chargers are more
- 45:41Speaker 1: battle tested for sure, as I pointed out the weak
- 45:45Speaker 1: schedule that India has had so far, Chargers have faced
- 45:48Speaker 1: the Chiefs, beat them. They beat Denver. Although both teams
- 45:52Speaker 1: beat Denver, I know, they face the Raiders Giants. They suck,
- 45:56Speaker 1: Miami sucks. Washington's also better, so Chargers face some more
- 46:00Speaker 1: difficult schedule. I'm harping on the game too much, but
- 46:03Speaker 1: we're going with We're going with the lean with the
- 46:06Speaker 1: Chargers in that when it's not a pick for me,
- 46:08Speaker 1: though not a play for me. Uh, your your team
- 46:11Speaker 1: is the Panthers. That is that is brutal Jackson fart
- 46:15Speaker 1: darts Yeah, I don't know, is he shooting darts out?
- 46:19Speaker 1: Of his butthole. I mean, I don't know, cool looking
- 46:21Speaker 1: uniform boost morale, that is correct, and an ugly uniform
- 46:25Speaker 1: like the uh the Arizona Cardinals tortilla uniform. What the
- 46:28Speaker 1: fuck is that thing? I think that like negates like
- 46:33Speaker 1: it lowers your morale. Ab I think that when you
- 46:35Speaker 1: look stupid in a stupid looking uniform, I actually think
- 46:39Speaker 1: it makes you play more stupid, play stupidly. So I
- 46:43Speaker 1: think that's actually a real thing. Yeah, the psychology of
- 46:46Speaker 1: looking good, feeling good, max out the drip riz. Yeah,
- 46:49Speaker 1: this is the it's a it's a riz spot, a
- 46:52Speaker 1: rizzed up spot for the for the Chargers. There no bias,
- 46:56Speaker 1: man because I root for the Colts because I lashed
- 46:58Speaker 1: onto Peyton Manning. When I hated Belichick and Brady, I
- 47:02Speaker 1: went away from the Patriots and the Patriots were I
- 47:04Speaker 1: rooted for all the Boston teams. I still root for
- 47:07Speaker 1: all the Boston teams. You guys probably know my story.
- 47:10Speaker 1: I rooted for the Patriots in the Parcels Bledsoe, Curtis
- 47:13Speaker 1: Martin Era. I love that team. Loved those guys. Lost
- 47:17Speaker 1: the Super Bowl to Brett Farvv. Back in the nineties,
- 47:19Speaker 1: I was pissed, didn't like Brett farvv and then the
- 47:23Speaker 1: Patriots betrayed me basically, and they got Belichick and Brady,
- 47:27Speaker 1: and I was like, this Belichick guy, the way that
- 47:29Speaker 1: he screwed over the Jets to come over here, I
- 47:31Speaker 1: was like, this guy is a schmuck, he's evil, he
- 47:33Speaker 1: sucked with the Browns. Fuck that guy. I still don't
- 47:36Speaker 1: think he's a good coach. I think Brady was the
- 47:38Speaker 1: reason why he won as many games as he won.
- 47:40Speaker 1: His coach didn't like Brady either. I just think he's
- 47:42Speaker 1: a total douchebag. So I just started hating the Patriots.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Fuck him. But now I'm, you know, starting to swing
- 47:49Speaker 1: back in the other direction, you know, just I don't know.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I like this Drake may character. I like Mike Vrabel
- 47:55Speaker 1: as well. I just hate Josh McDaniels. Get rid of
- 47:58Speaker 1: that fucker, and then I'll be fully on board. But
- 48:01Speaker 1: I'm somewhat back on the Patriot train slightly. What other
- 48:05Speaker 1: games we're gonna talk about here, I mean, I'm talking
- 48:07Speaker 1: about every game. Giants Broncos is gonna be one of
- 48:10Speaker 1: my plays. It's going against the market. Read. I don't
- 48:13Speaker 1: even give a fuck. I think it's the strongest play
- 48:16Speaker 1: of the week. Washington. I'm still calling them the Redskins, man,
- 48:20Speaker 1: fucking commanders. Change your fucking name, dude, football team was
- 48:24Speaker 1: a better name. At least football team is hilarious. It's
- 48:26Speaker 1: basically like, what's the most inoffensive name that we could
- 48:29Speaker 1: think of? Oh, the football team Commanders. You can call
- 48:32Speaker 1: them the Commies because that is what they are. Fucking
- 48:36Speaker 1: DC team and they're called this militaristic bullshit. Go back
- 48:40Speaker 1: to the Redskins, man. Redskins Cowboys used to be a
- 48:44Speaker 1: huge rivalry. I mean, this is still a big divisional rivalry.
- 48:48Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't have that weight behind behind it
- 48:52Speaker 1: that it did when it was Redskins Cowboys, when the
- 48:55Speaker 1: Redskins were good in the nineties too. I remember that
- 48:58Speaker 1: as a kid, Redskins with fucking uh mo was aren't
- 49:02Speaker 1: Monk there? And whoever the hell else they had there?
- 49:05Speaker 1: Uh I forget, but yeah, the Redskins were good back then.
- 49:09Speaker 1: All right. But the Cowboys here flip from a two
- 49:12Speaker 1: point dog to a one point favorite in this game,
- 49:14Speaker 1: and I agree with this. I would lean to the
- 49:16Speaker 1: Cowboys in this game. Fifty ticket sixty six percent of
- 49:20Speaker 1: the cash on the Cowboys. So the money looks like
- 49:22Speaker 1: it is coming in on the Cowboys. Uh. The opener,
- 49:25Speaker 1: the look Ahead, I mean was Washington two and a half,
- 49:28Speaker 1: And usually I don't want to necessarily fade the look
- 49:31Speaker 1: ahead because the look ahead had Washington favored. But I
- 49:35Speaker 1: think this is some of this. I think is actual
- 49:37Speaker 1: money moving the line, because it's actually not that much
- 49:39Speaker 1: of a move to go through zero, Like if you're
- 49:41Speaker 1: between the three is like three is a key number,
- 49:45Speaker 1: but anything from like two to one to the other
- 49:47Speaker 1: side one too, Like the the books will move those
- 49:50Speaker 1: like pretty quickly. Like those numbers are they don't matter
- 49:54Speaker 1: as much. They matter more now with like two point
- 49:56Speaker 1: conversions and all that other bullshit going on, so they
- 49:59Speaker 1: do matter more than they used to, but they still
- 50:01Speaker 1: don't matter as much as the number of three obviously,
- 50:03Speaker 1: And I'm old school, so I still see like three
- 50:06Speaker 1: is key, seven is key. Washington. They're on a short week.
- 50:10Speaker 1: They played on Monday night, and yes they did lose
- 50:13Speaker 1: on Monday night to the Bears, but it was kind
- 50:15Speaker 1: of a big matchup, man. I mean it's Caleb Williams
- 50:18Speaker 1: against Jaydon Daniels, the two you know, the top two
- 50:22Speaker 1: quarterback draft picks from last year. Battling again. It was
- 50:24Speaker 1: a revenge spot for Caleb Williams. I gave up other
- 50:27Speaker 1: Bears as a lean on my show. Of course, we
- 50:29Speaker 1: got that one right on Monday Night. Big game though.
- 50:33Speaker 1: So even though, yeah, Washington was favored, and sometimes you'll say, well,
- 50:36Speaker 1: when a team is favored, they'll bounce back from that
- 50:40Speaker 1: because they'll use the you know, the week to focus
- 50:42Speaker 1: and yeah, they're gonna focus on Dallas. But it's a
- 50:44Speaker 1: short week. It's another road game. They're actually playing three
- 50:48Speaker 1: road games in four weeks. I think. I don't think
- 50:50Speaker 1: they did not have a bye yet, right, No, other
- 50:53Speaker 1: by doesn't come into week twelve, So they're playing a
- 50:56Speaker 1: lot of road games. Man. This is gonna be their
- 50:58Speaker 1: fourth road game since September eleventh. Oh god, nine to eleven.
- 51:03Speaker 1: They played on the road on Thursday night, and I
- 51:05Speaker 1: got that one right too. Hey, not one of my
- 51:08Speaker 1: plays though, But yeah, now they're playing a third road
- 51:11Speaker 1: game in four weeks. Where look at this travel they've
- 51:13Speaker 1: had to do. They went down to Atlanta and then
- 51:15Speaker 1: they had to go to the Pacific Coast to face LA.
- 51:18Speaker 1: They came back to Washington from Monday Night. Now in
- 51:20Speaker 1: a short week, they got to go to Dallas, and
- 51:22Speaker 1: they got Kansas City up next in a primetime game
- 51:25Speaker 1: that's gonna be Monday Night against Kansas City. Yeah, I
- 51:29Speaker 1: think it's a bad spot. It's they're in kind of
- 51:31Speaker 1: a Monday Night sandwich here, which is weird to say
- 51:34Speaker 1: when they're facing the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, you're usually
- 51:36Speaker 1: gonna focus on the Dallas Cowboys, but the Cowboys have
- 51:40Speaker 1: been the lesser of these two teams, you know, over
- 51:42Speaker 1: the last year or so. Obviously, even though Dallas actually
- 51:45Speaker 1: did pull off an upset I think at Washington last year,
- 51:48Speaker 1: I think Dallas pulled off an upset, and then Washington
- 51:51Speaker 1: beat Dallas in Dallas in what I think the last
- 51:54Speaker 1: week of the season maybe last year, where I think
- 51:56Speaker 1: Washington didn't even need to win the game, and they
- 51:58Speaker 1: still did something like that. But Dallas, they're coming out
- 52:02Speaker 1: of an embarrassing loss man to Carolina, There's no doubt
- 52:05Speaker 1: about it. They were playing their third road game in
- 52:07Speaker 1: four weeks, by the way, where they had to go
- 52:09Speaker 1: to Chicago, came back home, played that Barnburner Sunday night
- 52:13Speaker 1: game tie against Green Bay. Then they had to go
- 52:15Speaker 1: back out to the East Coast face The Jets thought
- 52:18Speaker 1: that was a terrible spot, but they still did well
- 52:19Speaker 1: in that game down to Carolina played them, And now
- 52:22Speaker 1: they're coming back home. So the fact that they're back home,
- 52:25Speaker 1: I think is actually gonna be more helpful to them.
- 52:28Speaker 1: So their travel is kind of like over at least
- 52:31Speaker 1: for now. So I think they're kind of bad travel
- 52:34Speaker 1: spot was somewhat last week, I would say, even though
- 52:36Speaker 1: they probably did stay on the East Coast, I would
- 52:39Speaker 1: imagine between those two games, but I think it sets
- 52:41Speaker 1: up better for Dallas. They're gonna want to try to
- 52:43Speaker 1: re establish themselves as the better team over Washington in
- 52:46Speaker 1: this division. I'm gonna lean to Dallas in this game.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Not gonna be a play for me, but it's I
- 52:52Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna change my opinion on that one.
- 52:54Speaker 1: So I think some of my stronger opinions this week
- 52:57Speaker 1: are Dallas Chargers in games that I don't have a
- 53:00Speaker 1: play on, at least I should say Dallas the Chargers. Really,
- 53:04Speaker 1: it's kind of those two, Like these other opinions I
- 53:06Speaker 1: gave it are not I would not say they're as
- 53:08Speaker 1: strong as those two. All right, what else we got here.
- 53:16Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a look some more of the chat here.
- 53:18Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Brady carried the team. Yeah, and he
- 53:21Speaker 1: was really good as an old man in Tampa too.
- 53:24Speaker 1: He was surrounded by a pretty good cast though, both
- 53:28Speaker 1: in New England and in Tampa. Because when he first
- 53:30Speaker 1: started in New England, they were winning all these close games. Man.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Of course, you know the tough rule that all that bullshit.
- 53:35Speaker 1: The Patriots won so many close games on bad calls
- 53:38Speaker 1: and on opponent mistakes. It was ridiculous. So at first
- 53:42Speaker 1: it wasn't really Brady. It was kind of like the
- 53:44Speaker 1: Patriots defense. They had a really menacing defense coming out
- 53:48Speaker 1: of that, like Parcels era, because that's kind of what
- 53:50Speaker 1: he was all about. Then it kind of became more yeah,
- 53:53Speaker 1: Brady taking over. I had some like really good seasons
- 53:56Speaker 1: there and then with Tampa. I think it was more
- 53:58Speaker 1: back to like he had a good team with Tampa,
- 54:00Speaker 1: but too though he had good receivers there, a good
- 54:02Speaker 1: defense there with Tampa. Good coach Arians I think is
- 54:06Speaker 1: actually better than Parcels Where is Arians now? I didn't
- 54:09Speaker 1: even know. Is he's still around your redskins? Guy? Yes?
- 54:14Speaker 1: I call them the Redskins. I refuse to go into
- 54:17Speaker 1: the I refuse to dabble and woke. Fuck that shit,
- 54:21Speaker 1: the colonizers. That makes them sound way too based the Blackhawks,
- 54:27Speaker 1: they were able to keep their mascot because it's if
- 54:31Speaker 1: you're literally the name of a Native American tribe, you
- 54:34Speaker 1: get to keep it, basically like the Florida State Seminoles
- 54:37Speaker 1: and the Chicago Blackhawks. Which are they named after the
- 54:40Speaker 1: Blackhawk tribe or the chief Blackhawk? I don't know, I forget,
- 54:43Speaker 1: but when it's like a specific name, it's like they
- 54:45Speaker 1: have some like agreement with that specific tribe or like
- 54:49Speaker 1: their ancestors or whatever, where they're allowed to like keep
- 54:52Speaker 1: the name. I think is what's going on. I'm pretty
- 54:54Speaker 1: sure I think that's why that's the case. It's ridiculous,
- 54:57Speaker 1: and the Chiefs and the Braves, by the way, have
- 54:59Speaker 1: been able to ke there. Oh oh, they do the
- 55:04Speaker 1: Tomahawk chop, which I think they did steal from Florida State,
- 55:07Speaker 1: though I think it was originally a Florida State thing,
- 55:10Speaker 1: and as a BC guy, I don't want to admit that.
- 55:12Speaker 1: And by the way, I have a Florida State game
- 55:14Speaker 1: on behind me right now. They were losing to Stanford
- 55:16Speaker 1: last I saw, which they're still losing. It's the third
- 55:20Speaker 1: quarter that down thirteen to ten. It was thirteen to three.
- 55:24Speaker 1: I hope Stanford wins. Man. To be honest, Siffer's got
- 55:27Speaker 1: Frank right. They got Andrew Luck in their in their
- 55:30Speaker 1: front office, like, let's go baby, they got my old
- 55:33Speaker 1: Colts dudes. Yeah, man. And I can't stand Florida State.
- 55:36Speaker 1: I can't stand Castellano's just a total dick with the
- 55:40Speaker 1: way that he left BC. I would love to see
- 55:42Speaker 1: Florida State just start collapsing. Oh man, it would be awesome.
- 55:47Speaker 1: But I already do love the fact that they're collapsing.
- 55:49Speaker 1: They're not gonna make the playoff or anything this year.
- 55:51Speaker 1: They already have three conference losses, I'm pretty sure, including
- 55:55Speaker 1: our correct bet that we gave out on the show
- 55:58Speaker 1: on Virginia. That was an awesome one. That was fun,
- 56:01Speaker 1: fun as fuck. Tomahawk chop. I like a tomawk chop,
- 56:06Speaker 1: you know, as far as the tomahawk steak, that type
- 56:09Speaker 1: of chop, the tomahawk cut, baby, that's what I raise
- 56:14Speaker 1: it up in the restaurant and go o oh before
- 56:19Speaker 1: I eat it, you know, That's what I like to
- 56:21Speaker 1: do a cigar store Indian. We actually had. There's one
- 56:23Speaker 1: in Boston, dude, so right near it's but it's like
- 56:29Speaker 1: across the street from the the Boston Common, basically on
- 56:34Speaker 1: Boylston Street. It's around the corner from Boyleston. I think
- 56:37Speaker 1: it's on Charles Street. I want is it Charles? I
- 56:40Speaker 1: think it's on Charles Right around the corner from Boylston.
- 56:43Speaker 1: There's a there's an old tobacco shop right there and
- 56:46Speaker 1: they have a cigar store Indian on the outside. I
- 56:48Speaker 1: don't know how how did they get away with it?
- 56:50Speaker 1: I don't know. It's awesome, dude, It's all it's like
- 56:53Speaker 1: wooden and it's one of those It's yeah, it's what
- 56:55Speaker 1: you think. We'll talk about Sidefeld now as well, because
- 56:59Speaker 1: there's a Sidefeld gar store Indian one as well. It's
- 57:03Speaker 1: like that Indian correct bats Yeah, yeah, Well, the Columbus
- 57:08Speaker 1: statue got fucking desecrated by the fucking leftist mob assholes
- 57:13Speaker 1: in uh Boston. Uh? Did they rename the They might
- 57:17Speaker 1: have renamed the park too. The Columbus statue was in
- 57:19Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus Park, which is in kind of like the
- 57:24Speaker 1: like this, the the Boston Harbor area, the Habba Kid,
- 57:29Speaker 1: it's it's in that Harbor area. I know exactly where
- 57:31Speaker 1: it is. There's a good old what the fuck is
- 57:35Speaker 1: it called Joe Joe's American Barn Grill right there for
- 57:39Speaker 1: you know, not not some not Boston specific food there,
- 57:41Speaker 1: I don't think, but Joe's American Barn Grill kind of
- 57:44Speaker 1: like that place. They have good bread, They got some
- 57:46Speaker 1: decent food there. There's one of those right near Christopher
- 57:49Speaker 1: Columbus Park, which is now I don't know what the
- 57:51Speaker 1: fuck that park is called now. They also took down
- 57:54Speaker 1: an Abraham Lincoln's statue by the way in uh Lincoln
- 57:57Speaker 1: Square in Boston, which is actually really oose to the
- 58:00Speaker 1: cigar store Indian that you could see them both. They're
- 58:03Speaker 1: visible from each other. They're like hundreds of feet away
- 58:07Speaker 1: from each other. Basically, there was an Abe Lincoln statue
- 58:10Speaker 1: that I think actually had a slave shining his shoes,
- 58:13Speaker 1: and people were like, oh, we can't have that, so
- 58:15Speaker 1: they so they got rid of the Lincoln statue and
- 58:17Speaker 1: there's literally just nothing there now, and I think it's
- 58:20Speaker 1: still called Lincoln Square, but the statue is just not there.
- 58:26Speaker 1: It was base. I actually don't think they should have
- 58:28Speaker 1: removed any of the statues. Man, I mean, it's all
- 58:32Speaker 1: it's all history. Although I'll be more inclined to have
- 58:35Speaker 1: that statue removed than a Columbus one. But yeah, I
- 58:40Speaker 1: don't want to get my channel nuked here. Man, we're
- 58:42Speaker 1: supposed to be talking about sports. We have one more
- 58:45Speaker 1: game here before we get to the night games and
- 58:48Speaker 1: then my best bets. Yeah, I'm not a fan of
- 58:54Speaker 1: Lincoln either, obviously one on one of the worst man
- 58:56Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, he was cracking down a free speech
- 59:00Speaker 1: in a massive way against people that spoke out against
- 59:03Speaker 1: the war. The war is not what you're told it was.
- 59:06Speaker 1: Don't want to get my channel nuked, Like I said,
- 59:10Speaker 1: all right, Packers Cardinals. Packers up from five and a
- 59:13Speaker 1: half to seven here on this line look ahead was
- 59:15Speaker 1: the five and a half. So based on the number,
- 59:19Speaker 1: it does look like maybe you're getting a little bit
- 59:20Speaker 1: of value on the Cardinals, But I don't know, man. Yes,
- 59:24Speaker 1: the Packers are public seventy eight percent of tickets, only
- 59:27Speaker 1: seventy three percent of the cash. My initial instinct on
- 59:30Speaker 1: this game was to lean to the Packers because if
- 59:32Speaker 1: you look at what happened last week, the Packers. They
- 59:36Speaker 1: played Cincinnati, and they played a pretty lackluster game against
- 59:39Speaker 1: Cincinnati against the Joe Flaco Cincinnati in his first game.
- 59:44Speaker 1: Green Bay only beat them twenty seven to eighteen. So
- 59:47Speaker 1: it was kind of just a game where I think
- 59:48Speaker 1: they just kind of went through the motions. And now
- 59:50Speaker 1: I was thinking, oh, well, now green Bay is gonna
- 59:52Speaker 1: kind of bounce back from that. Green Bay they don't
- 59:55Speaker 1: actually have a third road game in four weeks here
- 59:57Speaker 1: because they did have a bye I think after that
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Dallas game, So that was kind of a question mark
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: coming into the game against Cincinnati. It was like, well,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: did they go into the buy in a good note
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: or a bad note. I considered it to be kind
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: of a bad note because they should have beaten Dallas
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: as far as the fact that green Bay was at
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: least favored in that game, although I liked Dallas to
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: cover that one, which they did, so I thought that
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: that would be considered to be kind of a bad
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: note to go into the buy on because they were
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: the favorite against Dallas. They came out and they maybe
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: could have covered the number against Cincinnati, but they didn't.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: So now I'm thinking, oh, well, maybe off of that
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: kind of weak performance against Cincinnati. Maybe green Bay is
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: in a bounce back spot, but I'm starting to maybe
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: disagree with that a little bit. That was my first reaction,
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: just knowing what these teams did this week. And then
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: of course Arizona they played pretty well against Indianapolis. They
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: almost beat my colts on the road as a big underdogs.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: Arizona coming off a big performance as an underdog and
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: now coming back home. That's a difficult spot. When a
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: team plays really well as an underdog that and they
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: almost pull off the upset and fall short. Sometimes it's
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: gonna be a hangover spot and they don't do well
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: in the next game either. But now I'm kind of thinking,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean Arizona, I mean green Bay
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: is a pretty good team. Arizona, if they can, they'll
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: still probably get up for the game against green Bay,
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: like they'll be focused. It's more about after that Indie game.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Is Arizona gonna be like fatigued after that? That's the question.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: But green Bay, if you start looking at what their
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: schedule looks like, they got a big game up next, man,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: I believe this is a Sunday night game next week,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: and look who they're playing Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Steelers in Pittsburgh. So it's gonna be Green Bay versus
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: versus Aaron Rodgers for the first time. I'm pretty sure
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers of course went to the Jets and
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: he was hurt the first season, and then he played
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: for the Jets last year, and I believe you can
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Jets
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: did not play the Packers last year. So I'm pretty
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: sure this is the first time that Rogers faces the Packers.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big game man green Bay against
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, So it is potentially a look ahead. And
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: now the other issues that we got going on here.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is questionable illness and a calf injury, so
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: that's something to consider with green Bell, though I think
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: if he doesn't go, I don't really worry about that
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: that much because NFL running backs are really like kind
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: of plug and play. I know Jacobs is a high
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: tier running back, like he's very good, but I think
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a huge downgrade to whoever the
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: replacement is for him, because rushing attacks, they just kind
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: of they have a lot of continuity, let's put it
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: that way. But the bigger deal for this is this.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: The Packers had a five hour plane delay trying to
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: get out to trying to get out to Arizona here.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: That is not good. That could definitely affect a team, man,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: because you want to say on your schedule, you want
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: to get out, you want to get out to where
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: you're going, you know at the time that you expect
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: to be there. You get there, you gotta start practicing whatever.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: So that's going to affect I think their pre operation
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: here a little bit. That's not great. So there is
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue there with the Packers
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: as far as that plane delay. So all these things
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: to keep in mind. I'm gonna kind of go against
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: my first instinct on this one. I'll slightly lean to
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: take in the points with the Cardinals, but obviously I
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: don't feel strongly about it. So yeah, Sunday night, I'm
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: gonna have a play on Falcons versus forty nine Ers.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: We can talk about Monday night, even though we will
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: talk about Monday Night on Monday morning as well, but
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have it play on the Monday night game.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: Southern Pride the South shall rise again. Crazy game Green
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Bay against against Pittsburgh. You mean, yeah, the tickets for
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: that game in the nosebleeds are like at least three
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: hundred bucks in like the worst seats in the house,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: So like three hundred bucks for that game. It's insane.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Green They shouldn't have let it go. I don't agree
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: with that. Jordan Love is good. I'm an Aaron Rodgers fan.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: I mean, I think it made sense. I mean, the
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: way that it was going, it was just like Rogers
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: was in the same situation that Five was in when
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Rogers came in, So Rogers knew what it was like
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: from that New Quarterbacks perspective. Like if you watch Aaron
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: Rodgers Netflix documentary, he talks about it, it makes sense.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: I mean, I like Rogers. That documentary made me like
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: him a bit more too. He's an interesting dude. But
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I think he didn't want to do what Five did
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: to him. Really, I kind of just delay like that start,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: So it was kind of a mutual thing. Man. The
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: team was gonna move on from him anyway, though, I think.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: But yeah, Taylor Swift, no, she's she's gonna be at
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: the Chiefs game probably or whatever on Monday. Night. I
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: hate these Monday night double headers, dude. This one's actually
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: a double header with one game at seven pm Eastern
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: in one game at ten pm Eastern. I don't like
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: this at all. It makes Monday night way less special.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: They got to stop fucking doing this. This is the
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: first year that they've done this every fucking week, where
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: like several years since they started doing this, it was like, Okay,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: they have like Week one whatever, they have a couple
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: of Monday night games and then it goes back to
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: one Monday night game. Now it's like every goddamn week,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: and all the weeks up until this week, it's been
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: two games being played basically at the same time. What
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: the fuck is that? Dude? When you play on Monday Night,
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: it's supposed to be something special, right, Like you're supposed
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: to be the like it's the like the premier matchup
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: that week basically, right, you get that primetime slot that's
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: your thing. Now there are two it makes it less special.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: I think it's bullshit. I don't know if it means
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: the teams are gonna be like less like consider the
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: game to be less important because of this. Now, I mean,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: I don't know, how do you handicap that because usually
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: when there's one Monday night game, you usually go into
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: it saying both of the teams are gonna get up
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: for this because it's a big primetime game. Do you
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: still say that? I mean, I guess yes, but I
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: don't know. The first game is Tampa Bay at Detroit.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Detroit's gone up from four and a half point favorite
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: to a six point favorite. I really thought Tampa Bay
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: would be a public side here, like when you see
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: these games where it's two teams that are considered to
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: both be good teams. Everybody likes both their offenses. Usually,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: I think if the public sees a Lion that's a
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: little bit too big, they usually start leaning towards the underdog.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: It looks like they're not in this case. Seventy percent
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: of tickets, only fifty eight percent of the cash on
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: the Lions, so the public looks like they're coming in
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: on the Lions. Seems a little bit odd to me, man,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: I would have thought that the public would be on
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: the five and one Tampa Bay team here. Tampa Bay
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: had another good win last time against US. They had
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: a good win against San Francisco. I should say San
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: Francisco is still. I mean, they've been a very competitive
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: team this year despite all the injuries that they have,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: tons of injuries there. San Francisco had some chances to
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: maybe win that game too, and they wound up fading
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: at the end. The final score was actually a little
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: bit misleading, I think, which tends to happen with Tampa Bay.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: By the way, Tampa Bay, they've won multiple games that
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: I think they should have lost, so you can kind
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: of tell which way I'm kind of leaning. In this game.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: San Francisco actually outgained Tampa Bay in this game, but
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: they were minus two in turnovers. It's kind of the
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: reason why they lost the game. I think San Francisco
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: at least should have covered this game and they did not,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: so Tampa kind of got away with that with that
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: win a little bit there, and it was closer towards
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: the end of the game too. It was Tampa. Let
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: me see what was the I want to see the Yeah,
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: here the breakdown here. Yeah, it was an eight point
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: game very late in the game, and then Tampa kicked
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: a field goal in the final two minutes to make
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: it an eleven point game instead of eight, and it
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: was a one point game. Yeah, it was a one
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: point game late in the third quarter as well, or
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: somewhat late in the third quarter as well. But Tampa
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Bay finally had a game where they weren't losing in
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: the final minutes of the game, which has been my
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: knock on Tampa Bay. Here matters, and I think Tampa
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: Bay's record is a little bit misleading because Tampa Bay
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: they got outgained in the first game of the season
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: by Atlanta. They were losing in the final minute of
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: that game and they won, pulled it out of their ass.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: They were losing in the final minute again against Houston
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: and won. They were losing in the final minute after
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: blowing a big lead against the Jets in a game
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: that we had I believe, yeah on my show. We
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: had the Jets in that one and the Jets did
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: cover the spread, so we got to win on that one.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: But the Jets made a big comeback and actually took
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: the lead in that game in the final minute, and
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: Tampa Bay still won. They became the first team ever
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: to be losing in the first three weeks in the
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: final minute and win all three of those games. Then
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Tampa made a huge comeback against Philadelphia. They were getting
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: blown out in that game against Philadelphia. Then they had
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: that barn burner against Seattle. Seattle had kind of a
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: banged up secondary, and Tampa was losing in the final
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: like two toh eight or something of that game too.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: So the first four wins that Tampa Bay had, they
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: were losing every single one of those games in the
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: final like two minutes basically, So those games were basically
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: coin flips, and they went four to zero in those games.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: They could have gone like two and two in those
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: games quite easily. So I think the record is a
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: little bit misleading. I think the game last week was
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: a little bit misleading too. Yeah, they're gonna step it
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: up for Detroit. I mean, obviously it's the Detroit Lions.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: It's a big game. I think did Detroit knock Tampa
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: out of the playoffs the most recent time they had
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: a big game? I forget. I don't even remember, man,
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: it seems like they always have like big games here.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: I know Tampa actually beat Detroit in Detroit last year
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: in Week two, that's right, I forgot about that. That
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: was the revenge game because Detroit had eliminated Tampa Bay
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: from the playoffs the year before that. Yeah, That's what happened,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: and then Tampa Bay went in and they got revenge
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: in Week two against Detroit last year. So I think
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: it's now revenge for Detroit again because Tampa Bay beat
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: them in this place last year. So you know, Detroit's
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: gonna be focused. And I think Detroit's gonna be additionally
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: focused because they lost that Sunday night game to the Chiefs,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: and they lost ugly. I know it was a big game,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: but when you don't look good in primetime like Detroit
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: did not, I think you do bounce back after that. Yeah,
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: I know it. It's a bit of a I mean
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: it's a shorter week, I guess for Detroit just because
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: they happen to play a Sunday night game where Tampa
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: played during the day on Sunday. But still I don't
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: think that really matters that much. It's a primetime game,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: it's back at home. I actually like the Lions of
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: this game. I would go against what the cash percentage
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: is saying right now. The money is I think has
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: actually kind of come in on the Lions here. Man,
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: I don't really because I don't think this is this
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: is a false move on the Lions to be honest
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: of the line. The move up from four and a
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: half to six here, if you want the Lions, you
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: got to get it at below seven, though at the
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: very least would have been a lot better. Four and
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: a half though well, although the fives are dead numbers though,
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: so if you can get six, I mean, I think
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: that's still all right. If you want to lay the
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: points of the Lions here, that is probably the way
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: that I would lean. Again, I think the Buccaneers they're
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: a little bit overrated right now, which the Lions of
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: the Lions makers are telling you that I almost said
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: Lions makers. The Lions makers or the odds makers are
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: telling you that because they're lining the Lions is a
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: pretty significant home favorite here, more than just what their
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: home field is. So the osiks are telling you the
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: Lions are the better team. So that's something to consider
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: as well. And I think this, yeah, again, the spot
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: I think actually sets up a little bit better for
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: the Lions. So I think it was a legit move
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: going up from four and a half to seven. When
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: the line comes up four and a half, I don't
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: think you see the betters come in and try to
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: like pound that all the way up to seven, just
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: because their actual move is going to be to try
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: to take Tampa plus seven. I don't think you usually
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: see that. I think you usually see that if it's
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: really close or closer to that key number, like if
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: it opened six, then I could see maybe a false
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: move trying to get it to seven. But with four
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: and a half being the opener, I don't think so.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: I think it was a legit move. So I actually
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: like the Lions in that game. Don't know if I'm
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: gonna change my opinion on that one. Better than overseas games, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: that's true. The overseas games are just chaos, very hard
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: to predict. And then we do Texan Seahawks in the
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: lakam Oh. By the way, Buccaneers lines very high total
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: here for an NFL game, down from fifty three and
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: a half to fifty two and a half. I mean,
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: you got two good offenses year. Buccaneers have a lot
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: of injuries on their offense, so I don't know if
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: Bucky Irving is coming back at running back. I don't
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: know what's going on with him. It looks like Mike
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Evans is actually coming back in this game for the Buccaneers.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: I don't know how close he's gonna be to one
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: hundred percent or anything, but it seems like he is
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: coming back in this game. Godwin has hurt again, so
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: a very banged up Buccaneers wide receiver corp. They might
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: get Evans back at least, but they also lost what
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: the hell is their rookie the name of their rookie
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: that they have, he's hurt too. I'm pretty sure the
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: guy that Gronk can't pronounce his name aga boo boo.
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: I think it's what Gronk called him. I can't. I
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: can't remember his name now, but yeah, he's he's hurt
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: too for the Buccaneers. So I've pronounced his name correctly
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: on the show before. I just forget what the fuck
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: his name even is whatever, But yeah, I believe he's
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: hurt as well. So Tampa does have some injuries there.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: I do think the Lions are actually the better of
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: the two teams, like I said, but as far as
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: the total ninety percent of the tickets and only sixty
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: four percent of the cash on the over, the money's
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: actually coming in towards the under in this game, Like
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: maybe you think it's gonna be more of like a
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: playoff atmosphere, but I don't think I would want to
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: do it, to be honest, the public does always play
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: overs in these in these games like this, these primetime games,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: so usually you don't get value playing it over because
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: the oddsbreakers. No, the public's gonna come in on the over,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: so they have to skew the line towards the over.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: But in this game, when you do have two offenses,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: that could definitely do things. So I don't know, man,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: an under, but I wouldn't want to be holding an
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: under ticket in that game. And then Houston and Seattle
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: much lower total in this one now for forty two
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: to forty one, fifty eight percent of tickets on the over,
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: eighty six percent of the cash on the under money
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: coming in on the under. Here, this one I could
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: see being pretty low scoring. I don't know if the
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Seahawks defense is healthier, because I know they've had some
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: inj on their defense over the last couple of weeks.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: We know the Houston's defense is good and their past
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: defense is good, which can maybe potentially counter this Seahawks
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: offensive attack. Because the Seahawks have mostly had to throw
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: the ball because I believe Charbone has been hurt at
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: running back. He might be back now. But the Seahawks,
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: I think their offense has really been more of a
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: passing attack. And I still don't know if I totally
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: trust Sam Darnold. Man. I know he's been good, like
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: he looked bad early in his career with the Jets
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: with Carolina, but you know, I mean, is he actually good?
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: I still don't know. He had a pretty good season
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: last year with the Vikings. I thought it was more
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: that the system was good. Maybe the Seahawks system is
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: good too. I don't know he's playing well. Seahawks are
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: off from two and a half to three. Here sixty
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: six percent taket seventy six percent of cash on the Seahawks.
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: The money is coming in on the Seahawks here. Don't
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: know if I totally agree with that either. Seahawks obviously
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: going to be the public side. I mean, they've been
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: rolling right now. They've won four the last five games,
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: but I don't know if their wins are necessarily totally impressive.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: They beat Pittsburgh in a game on the road where
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: Pittsburgh I think had a decent amount of turnovers there,
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: beat New Orleans. I mean, not that impressive to beat
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: New Orleans. They beat Arizona on the road. We know
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Arizona is not that good. And they beat Jacksonville last
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: week in a bad spot. So still don't necessarily think
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: the Seahawks are as good as the record would indicate.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: They are coming back home here off a decent win
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: over Jacksonville, but again they caught Jacksonville in a very
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: bad spot. Seahawks do have Washington up next, so maybe
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: potentially a look ahead. They do have a bye actually
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: in then Washington, but I don't know, man, I think
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Houston might be a little bit under the radar right now,
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: just because Houston is still a pretty good defensive team,
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: and I think their defense might be able to hold
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: Seattle and check. Houston is coming out of a bye,
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: so they did have last week off, so they have
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: an extra week to get out to the Pacific coast
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: and repair for this. But they are going up to
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: the Pacific coast, so again it's a more East really team.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Houston's a Central time zone team having to go to
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: the Pacific coast, and sometimes that can fuck with your
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: biological clock. They have to play a ten pm Eastern games.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: That thing is gonna end one like one am Eastern
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: or somewhere around there, which is gonna be still midnight.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: Houston simes that is fairly difficult. So I don't really
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: want to play Houston here. And the fact they went
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: into the buy in a good note. They won their
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: first two games. They beat Tennessee, I mean whatever, and
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: then and that was my Survivor picked that week. I
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: have to pick a Survivor team this week too, I
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: don't know who it's gonna be. And then Houston beat Baltimore.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: I mean it was Baltimore without Lamar Jackson, but it
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: is still the Ravens, and Houston absolutely annihilated them in Baltimore.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: And that's how they went into the buy. So I
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: consider that to be going into the buying a good note.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: And when a team goes into a buying a good note,
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: they can't really work on fixing things because you don't
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: have anything to fix. So I do worry about that
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: aspect of it. That I don't think the buye came
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: in a good time for Houston. That it's a little
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: bit of an issue, though it might help them with
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: maybe the time zone shift that if they can get
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: out there. I don't know if they went out there
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: earlier this week or not. If they were smart they
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: should have done that, I don't know if they did though.
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean slightly to Houston in this game though,
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: just because they still do have that extra rest at
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: the very least, and I think they're the anti public
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: side here getting points here. They are the better of
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: the two defenses in my opinion, getting points, and they're
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: an ugly offense, so the public is not gonna want
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: them at all. So I would lean to taking the
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: points with Houston there against what I think might be
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: a little bit of an overrated Seattle team at this point.
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: That Seattle is also having to travel back from the
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: East Coast at the very least though, because they just
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: went to Jacksonville and they don't have a week off
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: to make that travel back, So they're shifting across time
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: zones as well here at the very least, So slightly
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: into Houston in that one. All right, that was the breakdown.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: I forgot to do the graphic, as I always do.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: I always forget who Let's go to the best bets here, man,
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: It's time let's do it. It's gonna still be ugly,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: maybe not as ugly as you want. But first of one,
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: not we're gonna go with the New Orleans Saints plus
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: four and a half. I know we lost on the
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: Saints last week, but they still played pretty competitively in
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: that game. They definitely had chances to cover that spread,
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: maybe even chances to win that game against the Patriots.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: Saints have been playing competitively all season. Man. The only
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: game where they got blown out was at Seattle, and
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: even in that game was misleading if you look at
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: the stats in that game, the Saints statistically actually matched
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: Seattle pretty well in that game. So the Saints, even
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: though they're not a good team, they've been just playing
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: with a lot of effort, man, which you like. That's
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: what you like when you have an underdog here, man,
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: just a team that's gonna come in and give you
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: effort every single week. And that's what they've been doing.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: I mean, besides the Seattle lost, look at their losses.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: They lost by seven to five one against the Giants,
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: and then they lost by six against New England. So their
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: other losses are all by one score. And that's what
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: we want here. We want them to come with them
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: one square. I know it's a little bit less than
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: that it's four and a half, but yeah, I think
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: it's a good spot. I mean, they're coming up another
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: loss going out on the road. I think it's a
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: fine spot for them to continue giving you effort. Like.
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily a bad spot or anything
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: like that for the Saints. I just think it's a
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: spot that is kind of whatever. By the way, I
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: forgot to mention the look ahead. The look at it
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: on the Lions was four and a half, which is
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: where it opened. It's gotten drilled up to six, I
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: think with actual money, and the Seahawks open at two
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: and a half and now they're sitting at three and
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: a half. So I think the line maybe moved a
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: little bit too much on the Seahawks, is kind of
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: what my read is on that. And the forty nine ers.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: By the way, well, I haven't talked about the forty
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: nine ers yet, so hang on, I'll hold off on
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: that one. Hold on, I'm jumping the gun on that.
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: Bears in this game against the Saints were a six
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: point favorite on the look ahead. If you look at
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: what they are now, they're actually down to four now,
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: so you might have to take four instead of four
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: and a half. I don't think the six was out
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: there for a long period of time. I think it
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: was mostly five five and a half, and those numbers
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: are dead numbers, so the books will just move it
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: to the four pretty easily. If you can get four
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: and a half, obviously that's better than four, but I
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: would take either one. I think it's fine here. The
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: total's not that high at forty five and a half,
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: so you're not really looking at a game that's like
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: potentially going to be like so high scoring that it's like, oh,
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: you don't want to take the underdog necessarily because the
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: offense is going to just score so much here. I
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: don't think that's really going to be the case here,
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: and I think it's a bad spot for the Bears.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: Fifty nine percent of tickets, only fifty five percent of
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: the cash on the Bears, So the public is on
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: the Bears now after the Bears have won three games
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: in a row. But I want to fade the Bears here. Man.
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: The Bears, look at what they've done throughout those games.
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: They beat Dallas, huge win, but Dallas was in a
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: bad spot in that game in my opinion, which I
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: leaned to the Bears. In that one, Dallas had beaten
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: the Giants, although that was a Russell Wilson Giants team,
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: but still was a big divisional game, and I think
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: was just a barn burner. It either went into overtime
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: or it went right to the wire, and Dallas had
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: that big Michael Parsons Bowl up next against Green Bay.
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: So it was a bad spot for Dallas having to
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: go to Chicago there, and then Chicago won a game
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: at Vegas the following week, which I don't think they
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: had any business winning this game. Man, the Bears got
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: completely outplayed by the Raiders in this one. Three fifty
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: seven to two seventy one was the yardage edge for
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: the Raiders in the game, and the Raiders were minus
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: three in turnovers with four turnovers in the game. That's
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: why they lost. And it still took a late score
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: from the Bears and a block field goal at the
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: end of the game by the Bears to actually win
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: that game. So the Bears should have lost that game.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Then they had their buy and then they came out
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: of the buy and what did we just see? They
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: beat Jayden Daniels on Monday Night. Man, that was a
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: huge win for the Bears. Like I said, that was
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: Caleb Williams against Jade Daniels, the big matchup between the
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: two top quarterbacks from the draft last year, and it
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: was revenge for Caleb Williams because he lost the game
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: last year on a hail Mary at the very end
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: of the game by Jadon Daniels in Washington in that game,
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: which I liked because I gave a Washington as a
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: play on the show in that one last year, and
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: it was because Chicago had a defender who was taunting
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: the Washington fans and didn't cover his man and left
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: him wide open. Absolutely ridiculous. But the Bears got their
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: revenge for that. They atoned for their sins. That was
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: a huge win for them on Monday Night. Now they're
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: coming off of that and they have a short week
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: and they played in the New Orleans Saints. I mean,
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: come on, man, I don't think it's a good spot
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: at all of the Bears. And they do have the
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens up next, and I know, I know it's
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: the Ravens, and the Ravens have all these injuries, but
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: it might be Lamar Jackson back in that game. Man,
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: we don't really know. Could possibly be Jackson back remains
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: to be seen. But that's still a big game, man.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: I think against the Baltimore Ravens, the Ravens are still
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: I think kind of this looming giant there. I think
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: there's still if Lamar Jackson comes back. I think the
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: Ravens are still a very formidable team. So yeah, I
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: think this is a flat spot for the Bears for sure,
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: let down spot for sure. Short week, coming off the
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: Monday night game. The later of the two Monday night
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: games as well, We'll be on the New Orleans side
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: in that one that is the first play. Next up,
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: we're gonna be on the one where I said I'm
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: going against the market read Denver Broncos minus seven. We're
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: gonna do it, even though the market is disagreeing with it.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: I think because the Broncos are coming back from London,
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: it's down from eight to seven and a half. Here,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: the Broncos were eight on the look ahead. So the
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: fact that it's been like around seven all week, you know,
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're getting a little bit of
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: value on the Broncos. I still saw sevens out there, man,
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: but you have to pay like around minus one fourteen,
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: minus one fifteen to four. I would still do that
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: instead of laying the seven and a half. And I
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: think you could do that right now. If you can
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: find seven at minus one ten, of course, do that instead.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: And I would wait, actually right now if you don't
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: see that, because I think you'll at worst you'll be
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: able to get a seven with like maybe a little
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: bit of extra juice on it if you want the
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: Broncos here. But I think the Broncos are the best
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: play of the week. Man. Again, weight around. If you
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: don't see the seven right now, wait around. I would
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: lay it probably even up to maybe even minus one
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: twenty maybe minus one fifteen is where our cap it
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: on the minus seven, and then if it gets to
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: be more expensive than that for the minus seven, maybe
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: even lay the seven and a half. I know it's
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: a key number, but I think this is a horrible
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: spot for the Giants. I know it's a really low total,
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: and I don't love laying points with a low total
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: at forty and a half year, but the money's coming
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: in a little bit on the over, so I don't know,
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: but I think the Giants are really going to struggle
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: to score in this game. Sixty six percent of tickets,
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: only fifty three percent of the cash on Denver, so
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: the money is coming in against me against Denver. I
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: know Denver's are turning over from London, and I know
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: that's a trip that they're not used to making, but
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: I just don't care that much. Like I said with
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: Cleveland last week, and I know Cleveland did not get
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: there for us, but I'm gonna talk about it again
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: with both Denver and the Jets. Here. Teams usually have
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: a buye when they come back from London. They usually
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: get that following week off, but teams are allowed to
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: request that the NFL give them a buy at a
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: different point in the season. They could say, Hey, NFL,
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: we actually want to just come back and play again,
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: and we'll take the buy somewhere else because we think
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: it's better for us if we do that. And when
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: teams do that, they actually tend to play well in
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: that week. You would think the opposite, but it's not
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: the case. For whatever reason. I think it's because they
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: explicitly requested to play. And I think that's still what
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: happened with these teams they asked to play that week.
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: That means they're going to show up for that game.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: And I think Denver is going to show up not
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: only for that reason, but because they looked like ass
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: in London and they barely beat this oh to six
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: New York Jets team and we got to win on
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: that It was a cover for the Jets. I thought
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: it was a bad spot for Denver man because Denver
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: was not used to going to London. They had just
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: beating the Philadelphia Eagles, the returning Super Bowl champs. Huge
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: win for Denver to beat Philly on the road. There
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: was their legitimate win of the season. So I thought
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: it was a major letdown spot for Denver there against
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: the Jets. They didn't cover. They won, They won really ugly,
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: and I think that's the team you want to look
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: to play on. And I'm kind of surprised the public
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: is actually on Denver. I don't buy that the public
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: is actually even on Denver here, because why would you
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: want to lay seven with a team that looked so
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: bad last week and that win against the Jets up
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: against this upstart Giants team that scored like thirty something
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: points in their last game with Jackson Dart and scatted
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: with there nobody, no public better is actually gonna be
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: laying Denver seven here. I would not think so for that.
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think. Yeah, I just don't think
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: these percentages are even accurate. To be honest, I think
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: the spot's really really I think it's slightly advantageous to
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: Denver despite the return home spot, but I think it's
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: really bad for the Giants, which I'm gonna talk about
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: in a minute. So I'm gonna suck it up and
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: do it Denver. By the way, in the Bonnicks era,
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: Denver has been really good as a favorite too. I
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: believe there eleven and one is a favorite, and their
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: only loss was this one at Indie where they only
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: lost it because of that leverage call. And last year
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: I believe they covered every single game as a favorite,
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: or maybe they didn't cover one game, maybe they were favored.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: This year, I know it's been different. They didn't cover
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: against Tennessee, but they only missed by one. They were
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: technically a favorite against Indian didn't cover, but I would
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: kind of write that off because they were just a
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: one point favorite or something on the road there. So
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: I don't count that they beat Cincinnati and covered in
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: that one as a favorite. And then yes, I know
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: they didn't cover as a favorite in London against the Jets,
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: but it was in London in a bad spot. I
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: don't care about that. Denver in the Knicks era has
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: actually been good at beating up on lesser teams as
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: a favorite, which we did see them do that last
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: time out in a spot like this against Cincinnati at home.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: I know that was against Jake Browning that Cincinnati team
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: really bad, but Denver has been good in that role.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna get a better Denver performance here.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: They're two and zero at home here so far as well,
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: they've won by at least eight and both their home
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: games so far. And for the Giants, I know, I
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: like Jackson dart I know him on records saying I
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: think he's very much legit. I think he's the next
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: like star quarterback in my opinion. I know the Giants
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: are two to one with him, but I think he
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: got to dial it back a little bit on dart Man.
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: He's been kind of a game manager since he's been
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: in there. He's not putting up huge totals. I know
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: Skataboom has looked really good as well, kind of just
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: a crazy runner where he just runs, you know, he
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: just gets really physical and just doesn't care about his body. Fine, cool,
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: but everybody saw that, and now I think everybody just
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: kind of thinks that the Giants are kind of legitimized
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: now because what did they just do last Thursday? They
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia in primetime on Thursday night and they beat
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: them thirty four to seventeen, not only a divisional rival,
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: but the returning Super Bowl champs who really have owned
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: the Giants over the last few years. That was a
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: monster win for the Giants. So I think it's a
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: major letdown spot. And I know they have extra rest
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: here coming up the Thursday game, but I think the
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: extra rest is not helpful when you're basking in that
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: win like that. I think you spend the time reading
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: your press clippings or but that's the old school way.
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: There're you know, probably no physical newspapers anymore, unfortunately, because
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: I liked them. But you're you know, reading what the
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: media saying, listening to what the media is saying about
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: your basking in that win. Now you're gonna go to
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: Mile High to Denver and Jackson Dart didn't do that
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: well in his first road game against New Orleans. They
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: didn't win the game. They started out good, but they
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: blew the game. They lost the game. They made mistakes.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: I had New Orleans as a play on my show
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: in that game, by the way, because I thought it
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: was a bit of a letdown spot for the Giants.
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: But also the Giants had a quick turnaround to Philadelphia
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: coming up after that. So I've been able to gauge
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: the Giants correctly in all of the Dark games so far.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: Let's continue doing it, man. I give it a play
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: on the first two. I was correct with my lean
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: on the third one. Let's give out a play again
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: on the Dark game, and let's get it right, man.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: How about that? They gotta go to Mile High now.
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: But not only that, but who do the Giants have
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: to play next? Oh? Yeah, they have to play the
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles again next. I don't know if I've seen
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: a spot like this in a long time, man, where
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: you have a game sandwiched in between the same divisional opponent.
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: It doesn't happen very often, and that's what the Giants
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: are up against. It is a Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: that they're in. Man, I'm gonna fucking eat this cheese steak.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: I'm gonna, yeah, this is a massive cheese steak. I'm
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: gonna gobble it up. And this isn't one of those
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: shitty cheese steaks with the cheese whiz that you get
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: from Pats or Genos. Hopefully I'm not offending any Philly
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: people there, but I mean they must know what's up.
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: Those are not the best cheese steaks, all right. If
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: you go to one of those places, yeah, fine, get
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: the cheese whizz because that's how they That's how they
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: make it at those places with the better, the better
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: cheese steak joints. They make it with the fucking the
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: Cooper sharp cheddar or whatever it is. Man, that's really
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: what you want on the I think those like Seeded
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: Rolls are way fucking better too. I forget the names.
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: There are a few plays this is a way, but
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: I think John's roast Beef is one of the best.
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: And then what the fuck is that other one that's
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: considered to be the best. I think it's actually like
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: an Italian place, but they have like an elite cheese
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: steak there. That's what this cheese steak is. Except for
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: the fact that Denver is returning home from London, which
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: is a little bit of a little bit of an issue,
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: but whatever, We're still gonna go with it here with Denver.
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: I think it's a horrible spot for the Giants. And
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: also Denver is getting green Law back in this game.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: By the way, dra Greenlaw, they're big linebacker pick up
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: from the forty nine Ers. Recuse to never be healthy.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: I don't think he's played yet this season, and he's
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: coming back, So that's gonna stack Denver's already good defense.
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: Denver has a really good defense, and this will be
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: the most difficult defense that Jackson Dart has had to
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: face so far. Man face the Chargers, they're an alright defense.
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: The Saints they're not good. I mean, they're better than
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: you think they are defensively, but they're not that good.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: And then Philly they're not what they were last year.
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: Man again, they lost a lot of their good defensive
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: players from last year. They're not a great defense this year.
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: This Denver defense is one of the top defenses in
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: the NFL, and this young Giants offense is gonna have
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: to go into high elevation and try to beat that
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: defense that's not easy. And Denver probably as a coaching
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: edge with Sean Payton too, which I think will help
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: out too. The only caveat I will point out is
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: that Dart is from Utah originally, so Dart is used
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: to playing in high elevation because that's where he played
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: in high school and whatever. So Dart did play in
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: the state of Utah and that's where he's originally from
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: and where he grew up, which does mean that he'll
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: probably actually have some hometown fans making the trip out
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: to Denver from Utah for this game. So yeah, that
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: will be a little bit of a factor a quarterback
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: when they first get into the NFL and they get
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: that kind of home hometown game. Basically, I think that
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: is what this is kind of for Dart here. The
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: quarterback does want to show something and play well, so
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: that is a factor in this game as well. But
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: I just think the spot is just way too bad
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: for the Giants here, So Denver is a play for me.
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: I know it sounded like there were a lot of
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: caveats there, but I put out all the information man,
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: just so you know, like I said, I don't think
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: the board is very strong this week, unfortunately. And then
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: my final play is in the Sunday Night and we're
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: gonna know with the San Francisco forty nine ers minus
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: one and a half. I like this one too, or
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: I should say I like fading at the Atlanta Falcons
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: in this spot. And I've been good with the Falcons
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: games too. Man, I had it right when I faded
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: the Falcons against Carolina. We can bring up the s schedule.
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: I guess yeah. With the Falcons, I wasn't right with
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: them in Week one. It wasn't a play for me,
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: but they should have won against Tampa Bay. My lean
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: was correct in their game against Minnesota. I gave out
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: a play on Carolina against the Falcons. I thought it
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: was a bad spot with the Falcons coming up that
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: huge Sunday Night win over Minnesota in the Pennix versus
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: McCarthy rematch of the College Playoff College Championship game, even
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: though McCarthy did get hurt in the game, but that
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: was a bad for Atlanta, and then they had Jayden
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: Daniels coming up next. They got blanked by Carolina in
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: a game where they actually played better than the score looked,
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: so I jumped right back in and I gave out
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: Atlanta as a play. In the following week against Washington.
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: We got that one right, So my two plays are correct.
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: And then I leaned it to Atlanta last week against
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: Buffalo and we got that one correct as well. So
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: my leads have been correct the last four weeks against Atlanta,
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: and two of them have been plays for me where
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: we went two and oh, so we're gonna go back
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: to an Atlanta game, We're gonna give out a play
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: on the forty nine ers here. I think this is
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: a bad spot for Atlanta, man, they're coming off, but
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a legitimizing win for them
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: this season. A huge primetime win. I think that was
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: Pennix's first actual prime or no, his first primetime win
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: was the Sunday night went against Minnesota, my mistake, but
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: this was like, this is his first home primetime win
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: against Buffalo. Huge game, huge win against Josh Allen Pennix
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: against that win, I mean, that's crazy, man. And now
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: they to come off that and on kind of a
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: short week because that was that was a Monday night game,
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: actually not a Sunday night. That was a Monday night game.
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: So they're on a short week off of that huge win,
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: letdown spot, they have to go to the Pacific Coast,
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: which Pennix is not used to doing that, man, even
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: though I know he played at Washington, so yeah, he
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: used to play on the Pacific Coast. But since he's
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: been in the NFL, I don't even I don't even
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: know if he's played a road game on the Pacific
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: Coast yet. And Pennix has not been good on the road.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: His only road win so far in his career, I believe,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: is that one against Minnesota. Although I know he did
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: play well on the road at Washington last year in
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: a game because I know because I gave out Atlanta
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: in that game and lost because they failed to even
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: cover as an underdog in overtime. I don't want to
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: remember that game. But Pennix is still not as good
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: on the road. Man. He's still young, he's still learning.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: He's got to go to a real hostile environment here
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: in San Francisco and play a night game at San
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: Francisco here, man, on a short week, and you know
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: I talk about it, I'm gonna say it again. Night
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: primetime games for an East Coast team going to the
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: Pacific Coast, the game's gonna end like close to midnight.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: Maybe their biological clock time that's not good. It's hard
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: for them to adjust to that. You get fatigued at
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: the end of the day, so I think it's bad
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: for their biological clock. For San Francisco, I think the
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: spot sets up better for them. Man, they're traveling back
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: to the Pacific Coast from the East as well, I know,
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: but they took a loss in a game that they
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: played a little bit better in than the score looks,
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: like I said, against Tampa Bay. Coming back home, it's
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: a big primetime game for them at home. I think
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: it's kind of a get right spot for San Francisco.
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: So I like how it sets up for San Francisco.
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: They haven't played at home since back against Jacksonville, back
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: before they had that Thursday night game against the Rams,
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: and I think they got caught in kind of a
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: divisional sandwich, man, because San Francisco had won a divisional
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: game against Arizona before we realized that Arizona sucks again,
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: and then they had that game against Jacksonville that didn't
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: really seem to matter as much to San Francisco because
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: they had to turn around on Thursday and play the
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: Rams after that, which was a much bigger games. So
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: I think they got caught against Jacksonville. But that was
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: their last home game, so I think the fact that
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: that was what they did last at home, that's gonna
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: motivate them a little bit more too, coming back home.
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: Want to redeem themselves a little bit from that bad performance.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers are getting kittled back as well, so
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: he's been out since I think the very beginning of
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: the season. So he's an elite tight end and that's
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: gonna of course help the forty nine ers offense. The
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: forty nine ers have had some offensive injuries, man, and
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: they're still playing well despite the injuries. They're four and
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: two even though they've been injured on both sides of
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: the bomb and they lost Bosa on defense. They've been
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: without Kittle, they've been without half of their wide receivers
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: with Jennings being hurt and Pearsall being hurt. Didn't get
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: shot again, but he's being he's been hurt, which is
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: at least that's preferable. Obviously. I don't know, if I
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: don't know what the situation is with Jennings and pearsall
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: by the way, if they're coming back or not. But
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: San Francisco has still been kind of like they've been
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: winning games even without all that. And the rushing attack
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: hasn't even been good, even though I think McCaffrey is healthy.
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: For some reason, the rushing attack just hasn't been that good.
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: Don't know why. But they're passing attack despite all the injuries.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: And of course I forgot to mention the injury to
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, who I don't think Purdy is actually that
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: good though. Man, I think he's kind of a mediocre quarterback.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: They've actually been good with their passing attack even without
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: Brock Purty, with mac Jones and there, mac Jones has
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: actually been better than Brock Purdy. And yes, we do
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: have to look and see is mac Jones gonna be
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: their quarterback here in this game? Again, where's the injury
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: report here? Let me see. Uh oh boy, it looks
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: like he's not listening. Oh shit, he's not listed on
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: the injury report. Hang on, No, he's out all right. Good.
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: That's good because I think mac Jones has been playing
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: better than Rock Purty. And if Purdy was coming back
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: it would be the reverse injured player spot for San Francisco.
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: When you get your starting quarterback back, you know, the
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: team can kind of take a step back a little bit.
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: You have to get used to him being back in there,
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So like the chemistry could
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: be a bit of an issue. So I like this
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: better that they're gonna have continuity with Mac Jones still
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: in there. So that's good. We're gonna have Mac Jones
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: out there. It looks like Piersoll is out, but Jennings
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: is back, so that's good at least for their receiving
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: core as well. And of course I Yuk, who's probably
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: their best wider sire. He's been out and he's still out,
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: so that's another injury they've been dealing with. San Francisco's
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: still been going through it and doing it. Man. I
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: like that. I like the fact that Mac Jones is
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: still out there. And I never thought I would say that,
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: but Jones, I think he can get the job done here, man,
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: even though the falcons past defense has actually been okay,
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: but I still think Jones can get it done here.
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: As far as the look ahead on this, we had
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: forty nine ers at minus four and a half on
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: the look Ahead, but that might have been with brock Purdy,
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: like maybe they thought brock Perdy was gonna play. But
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: still with the fact that this line is down to
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: minus one and a half here, it's definitely three and
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: a half to two. Now, I guess on the forty
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: nine ers, I think you are getting some extra value
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: on the forty nine ers though for whatever reas that.
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: Maybe I think it was just because of the brock Purty,
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: the fact that he's they thought he was coming back
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: and he's not coming back. But is he that much
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: of a drop off, Like should he be like a
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: three whatever point drop off to mac Jones? I actually
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: don't think so. Forty nine ers have been pretty good
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: with mac Jones, so we're gonna go with it. Forty
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: nine ers. Fifty six percent tickets are on the Falcons.
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: Everybody saw the Falcons pull off that upset on Monday end.
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: Now they're going from an anti public favorite. I talk
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: about this too. The Falcons were an anti public favorite
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: last week, or excuse the Falcons are an anti public underdog.
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: Excuse me. They were an anti public underdog last week,
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: and they're going to a situation where now they're a
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: public team, although they're a public underdog here. It would
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: be crazier if they're a public favorite, which they're not.
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: But still, when the public shifts sides like that one
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: week to the other, you want to fade that sentiment
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: more often than not. Fifty six percent tickets on the Falcons,
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the cash on the Niners. Yeah,
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: we'll go with the Niners here in this one, man,
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: I think it's a bad spot for Atlanta. That what
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: we're gonna do, and that is gonna do it for
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: those for those plays here, man. The three plays this
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: week one more time are the New Orleans Saints at
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: plus four and a half the Denver Broncos at minus seven,
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: which hopefully you can get the seven again like it's
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: been seven most of the week. I should have mentioned
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: that during the week on one of my shows, just say, hey,
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: get on this and then I'll do the analysis on
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: Saturday night whatever, and uh, San Francisco minus one and
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: a half, or you're basically just asking them to win
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: the game. Or if you find a money line price,
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: that's good, you could do that too. I think we're
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: good on those. Yeah, Denver, like I said, find the
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: best price that you can on that. I don't know
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: if you can still find a seven. Right before I
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: did the show, I found a minus seven at minus
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: one fourteen out there at one of the books though,
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: So I'm still counting it at minus seven because I
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: saw the minus seven with I think minus one fourteen
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: at minus one fifteen and a couple of different books
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: that are out there. So that's what we're tracking it
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: at right now. That's gonna to do it, man, keep
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: up the streak. What streak? I mean, I had another
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: winning day today, so at least there was that. I mean,
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: I've had I think only two or three losing days
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: over the last like three weeks. At least there's that.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: But football has kind of been mediocre the last couple
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: of weeks after we were really hot a few weeks
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: ago for a couple of weeks. But yeah, I'm trying
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: to win here, man, I'm trying to give out winners. Obviously,
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: who shot pieris? Think you know the answer to that?
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: It was prior to last season. Take a guess it
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: was on the streets of San Francisco. That's gonna do it.
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: I'll learn it on on Twitter and learn it on
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: on Instagram. I can check me out those places like
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: subscribe to the channel here. All that helps out. Man,
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: Interacting here helps out. I'm on the audio platform Spotify
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: and Apple. You can check me out there if you
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: listen on there. That helps me out. Reviews definitely helped
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: me out as well. It's pump these numbers up, baby,
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: as I keep saying, and covered in you because my
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: yuke channel on you to. But the yuke cover's going
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: up there. I gotta get those up to date, as
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: I keep saying. I feel like I always say that,
