- 0:42Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on with the bruins
- 0:45Speaker 1: arch hape? Is that what it is? I don't even

- 1:34Speaker 1: It's towed back with you better off dead? NFL Week three.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say about this. Man.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I got my awesome shirt on right now, you can.
- 1:45Speaker 1: You can read it. It's very related to my intro
- 1:49Speaker 1: here on Nate. What's up? Man? What happened with Oklahoma?
- 1:52Speaker 1: I know that in my pick them games that I'm
- 1:55Speaker 1: in Auburn plus the six and a half. I don't
- 1:58Speaker 1: know what the fuck happened in that game. I think
- 2:01Speaker 1: it was another bullshit game, right? Oh? Yeah, great? It
- 2:04Speaker 1: was a safety at the very end of the game. Right,
- 2:07Speaker 1: so Oklahoma had no business covering that? Yeah, I guess,
- 2:10Speaker 1: thanks for reminding me. It wasn't one of my plays.
- 2:12Speaker 1: At least this time. It was a close game. It
- 2:15Speaker 1: looks like statistically losing a cover on a safety, though,
- 2:19Speaker 1: I mean, that is that is some bullshit. Yeah, but
- 2:24Speaker 1: what what did Auburn take the safety intentionally, like what
- 2:27Speaker 1: even was it. I didn't see the end of that game.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I don't know, I didn't have an on seems like
- 2:31Speaker 1: some real bullshit though, And that pisses me off because
- 2:34Speaker 1: I had Auburn, uh with the six and a half number,
- 2:38Speaker 1: so wound up being a seven point yeah final lass
- 2:42Speaker 1: score there. I had Auburn and just in like the
- 2:46Speaker 1: ESPN pick thems, they weren't in my pick six like
- 2:48Speaker 1: money pool pick seven whatever and have them. Although I
- 2:51Speaker 1: only went four and three in those, but I mean
- 2:52Speaker 1: if you grind in those in your upmost weeks, I
- 2:55Speaker 1: mean they go all right. Like obviously all my picks
- 2:58Speaker 1: today were in those games as well, and then I
- 3:00Speaker 1: had a few extra ones. We did well today, by
- 3:03Speaker 1: the way, we had a five and two day. We
- 3:05Speaker 1: were only two and two in college football, and I
- 3:08Speaker 1: think we still want up ahead in college football because
- 3:12Speaker 1: both we had two outright underdog money line cashes, so
- 3:16Speaker 1: I think that actually put us up in college football.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And then I went three and ohero in baseball. So
- 3:23Speaker 1: in college football we had on Miami Ohio was total bullshit.
- 3:27Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw that Miami Ohio
- 3:28Speaker 1: was winning that game by multiple scores almost the entire way,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and then they wound up losing right at the end
- 3:33Speaker 1: by three points. I ain't the only time they were
- 3:35Speaker 1: not covering that game was the final score. Of course,
- 3:39Speaker 1: I did mention with a two and a half. I
- 3:42Speaker 1: didn't love the fact that the numbers two and a half.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I still thought it was a great play, though. I
- 3:45Speaker 1: thought they were gonna win the game outright. I love
- 3:49Speaker 1: that setup with the inverted by scenario. I mean, you
- 3:52Speaker 1: can go watch my analysis of it if you want.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But Miami, ohigh, they were out to a fourteen nothing
- 3:56Speaker 1: lead right away. They were winning by fourteen by ten
- 3:59Speaker 1: throughout the entire game. I'm like, all right, this is
- 4:01Speaker 1: gonna win. And then meanwhile, at the same time, Memphis
- 4:05Speaker 1: started out decent. I think they're winning outright, ten to seven.
- 4:08Speaker 1: At the beginning of the game, we had them plus seven,
- 4:10Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, they're down twenty eight
- 4:11Speaker 1: to ten. They give up twenty one unanswered points, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well, we're gonna go one to one
- 4:16Speaker 1: in these two, which we did. But it was the
- 4:19Speaker 1: exact opposite the games that I thought it was gonna be.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Is Miami Ohio wound up being the loss right at
- 4:25Speaker 1: the end, losing by a half point, losing by three,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and then Memphis one outright, so that was one of
- 4:31Speaker 1: the big ones. Memphis with a huge comeback and then
- 4:33Speaker 1: they win the game outright by one point at the end,
- 4:36Speaker 1: So we got that done. Kennesaw State, that was one
- 4:39Speaker 1: with less drama. That was a winner. I mean, they
- 4:41Speaker 1: were winning outright. I think the whole game. They wound
- 4:43Speaker 1: up winning outright. So we got that cover and outright
- 4:47Speaker 1: underdog win. And then Florida did not get there. Florida,
- 4:51Speaker 1: I mean, they definitely got outplayed statistically. Although I told
- 4:54Speaker 1: you that other defense was gonna hold them in the game.
- 4:56Speaker 1: They needed to score more on offense obviously. I mean
- 4:59Speaker 1: I thought they would be able to score against Miami's
- 5:00Speaker 1: defense a bit. The game was low scoring, which is
- 5:04Speaker 1: what you want when you have an underdog, and it
- 5:05Speaker 1: was thirteen to seven with four minutes left in the game.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Florida was was within six points with four minutes left,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean Miami got into a field goal race,
- 5:15Speaker 1: so you knew they were gonna kick a field goal
- 5:17Speaker 1: and then it's like, okay, Florida's got to drive. Now
- 5:20Speaker 1: they're down two scores of Florida. If they drove and
- 5:23Speaker 1: they kicked a field goal to get one score on
- 5:26Speaker 1: the board, then they would at least win the game.
- 5:27Speaker 1: But I think they turned it over and then Miami
- 5:30Speaker 1: scored again and then that was the end of it.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I don't know what exactly happened there, but the game
- 5:34Speaker 1: was a lot closer than the final looked. At least
- 5:36Speaker 1: the score was way closer in the final minutes, so
- 5:38Speaker 1: that pissed me off. Baseball was pretty good, though, I
- 5:42Speaker 1: mean basically no sweat on either of the first five
- 5:45Speaker 1: under A's Pittsburgh and Toronto Kansas City both. I think
- 5:50Speaker 1: both games went under full game as well, but the
- 5:52Speaker 1: first fives went over and then the Red Sox made
- 5:55Speaker 1: me sweat a little bit. They had the lead in
- 5:57Speaker 1: the game. It looked like it was gonna be over.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Like it looked like the game was gonna be over.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I should say the Red Sox were up one nothing
- 6:04Speaker 1: really early. Then it was one to one for a while.
- 6:06Speaker 1: They took a three to one lead. I think get
- 6:08Speaker 1: to the seventh and maybe even the eighth inning, whatever
- 6:10Speaker 1: it was, so I'm thinking, all right, Red Sox, they
- 6:12Speaker 1: have their better relievers available, they should get this done.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Tampa tied the game three to three, excuse me, and
- 6:19Speaker 1: then luckily for us, the Red Sox, I'll put up
- 6:22Speaker 1: three runs I believe, in the top of the ninth
- 6:25Speaker 1: inning to push it to six to three and get
- 6:27Speaker 1: that win and get out of there with the win.
- 6:29Speaker 1: So we got that win. Let's talk at NFL, man.
- 6:32Speaker 1: So it was a good day overall. The five and two.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I'll take that, and a little bit of extra bonus
- 6:37Speaker 1: with the money line cashes in football. Not bad. Oh wait,
- 6:41Speaker 1: best bets? What am I doing? No, we're not doing
- 6:43Speaker 1: best bets. We're doing the breakdown. We've got three NFL plays, man,
- 6:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the rest of these games here.
- 6:50Speaker 1: We're gonna run through the entire NFL card because that's
- 6:53Speaker 1: what we do here. Nate, thanks for hanging out. You're
- 6:55Speaker 1: the only one right now. Hopefully we get some more
- 6:57Speaker 1: people late night, degenerate out. They're showing the Oklahoma win
- 7:03Speaker 1: right now, just to rub it in my face on
- 7:04Speaker 1: ESPN right now, they're just showing the ending to the game.
- 7:09Speaker 1: So that's great. The game I have on over there
- 7:11Speaker 1: right now, I think is the Colorado game, which, by
- 7:13Speaker 1: the way, Colorado was one of my Survivor picks. I'm
- 7:16Speaker 1: in a money college football survivor pool where it works
- 7:20Speaker 1: the same way as NFL. You just have to make
- 7:21Speaker 1: two picks every week in sent a one. So my
- 7:24Speaker 1: picks this week were I'm alive obviously Colorado is one
- 7:28Speaker 1: of my two, and I think I in Mississippi State
- 7:30Speaker 1: is the other one, which they already won coloradoss I
- 7:33Speaker 1: was up twenty one to three, so they just need
- 7:35Speaker 1: to win the game outright. It's just obviously you can't
- 7:37Speaker 1: pick the same team again. But I look at the
- 7:40Speaker 1: upcoming schedules, man, like the rest of the year, I'm like, yeah,
- 7:42Speaker 1: this is the spot to use Colorado and whatever. So
- 7:46Speaker 1: even though I didn't necessarily like them recover the spread,
- 7:48Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, all right, hopefully they'll win the game outright.
- 7:51Speaker 1: We could talk about Survivor in NFL, too, so I
- 7:54Speaker 1: don't know. We'll say, Charles, what's up, man, thanks for
- 7:56Speaker 1: hanging out. Let's get into it, man, Charles, you didn't
- 7:59Speaker 1: miss anything yet. Let's go in order of the board
- 8:01Speaker 1: like I usually do. I also have the look ahead
- 8:04Speaker 1: lines up here from so the look head lines. I
- 8:07Speaker 1: always use the look aheadlines in the NFL is a
- 8:09Speaker 1: bit of a gauge. Basically, this is what was the
- 8:12Speaker 1: line before last week's games were played, so you can
- 8:16Speaker 1: kind of gauge like, how did the line move? So
- 8:18Speaker 1: like Bills were a ten and a half point favorite
- 8:20Speaker 1: before last week's games were played, and then they went
- 8:22Speaker 1: into Thursday night actually up to about a twelve point favorite,
- 8:25Speaker 1: So the line did move a little bit, and you
- 8:27Speaker 1: want to kind of check that, like was there a
- 8:29Speaker 1: reason for that line to move that much? And in
- 8:31Speaker 1: that case, I would say there wasn't. And the Dolphins
- 8:34Speaker 1: did get the cover rights, I did say I lean
- 8:36Speaker 1: that way, even though I thought it was gonna be
- 8:38Speaker 1: a lower scoring game. But the Dolphins did cover. So
- 8:41Speaker 1: Colts Titans. Colts are up from two to four and
- 8:45Speaker 1: a half here, man, which to me, that seems like
- 8:47Speaker 1: too much of a move on the Colts. To be honest, man,
- 8:50Speaker 1: I don't see a whole like I don't see much
- 8:53Speaker 1: of a reason for that, Like I don't think there's
- 8:55Speaker 1: really any huge injury. I think Tennessee it looks like
- 8:57Speaker 1: Sweat might not play. He's one of their better deep
- 9:00Speaker 1: some players. They got them from the Eagles. But that's
- 9:03Speaker 1: not going to move the line multiple points like that
- 9:06Speaker 1: just for one defensive end or whatever being out. So
- 9:09Speaker 1: I think this line is a little bit of a
- 9:11Speaker 1: I think it moved too much. Colts are a two
- 9:13Speaker 1: point favorite on the look at, so actually I think
- 9:15Speaker 1: we're seeing just like last week. I think the opening
- 9:19Speaker 1: number in some of these cases was the Lookhet. This
- 9:21Speaker 1: is up to four and a half. We do see
- 9:22Speaker 1: sixty nine percent of tickets on the Colts, eighty percent
- 9:25Speaker 1: of the cash on the Colts, though some money's coming
- 9:27Speaker 1: in on the Colts. I don't really think I can
- 9:29Speaker 1: agree with the Colts here. The Colts are my team,
- 9:31Speaker 1: of course, well not of course, because I am from Boston,
- 9:34Speaker 1: but I turn coated on the Patriots because I didn't
- 9:37Speaker 1: like Belichick or Brady. I was a Peyton manning Van,
- 9:42Speaker 1: so I latched onto the Colts. Colts are off to
- 9:44Speaker 1: a two and zero kind of a surprise start, but
- 9:48Speaker 1: because of that is the case, and now they're facing
- 9:50Speaker 1: their first road game of the season. Tennessee really hasn't
- 9:54Speaker 1: shown anything yet. I get that, but to me, I mean,
- 9:56Speaker 1: I think it just kind of looks too easy to
- 9:58Speaker 1: take the Colts, so I understand the money is coming
- 10:00Speaker 1: in on them, it looks like for now at least,
- 10:03Speaker 1: but they're a public road favor here, man, so I
- 10:06Speaker 1: would lean to the home underdog. Home underdogs have not
- 10:09Speaker 1: done that well generally in the NFL recently, but I
- 10:13Speaker 1: believe in the first like several weeks of the season,
- 10:16Speaker 1: home underdogs actually do do pretty well in recent history,
- 10:20Speaker 1: which is gonna bode well for a couple of my
- 10:22Speaker 1: place today, I think, because I think I have at
- 10:23Speaker 1: least two of them Arcade, what's up, man, thanks for
- 10:26Speaker 1: hanging out, So I do lean to Tennessee in this
- 10:29Speaker 1: one plus the points man. And also one thing to
- 10:32Speaker 1: be aware of is that own two teams straight up,
- 10:35Speaker 1: they actually cover at a pretty good rate in Week
- 10:38Speaker 1: three as well. I don't have the number in front
- 10:40Speaker 1: of me, but that is the case. And I think
- 10:43Speaker 1: it becomes even better when it's a two and oh
- 10:45Speaker 1: team against an OH and two team, because it's like
- 10:47Speaker 1: you're almost never gonna get value on that two and
- 10:49Speaker 1: oh team when they're playing an O and two team,
- 10:51Speaker 1: because who's gonna want to play the oh and two team? Right?
- 10:53Speaker 1: And people are just kind of overreacting to a small
- 10:56Speaker 1: sample size early in the season, so I do think
- 10:58Speaker 1: Tennessee is the right side. And by the way, in
- 11:01Speaker 1: this division, the underdog covered eleven of the twelve games
- 11:06Speaker 1: last year, so that's something to consider. The underdogs. We're
- 11:09Speaker 1: hitting at a ridiculous rate, just in the divisional games
- 11:13Speaker 1: in the AFC South last year. Although I think there
- 11:15Speaker 1: is one trend that goes against Tennessee or I think
- 11:18Speaker 1: they haven't covered what is it, I forget what it
- 11:21Speaker 1: is exactly. I think India has covered like a bunch
- 11:23Speaker 1: of games in a row against them. I think maybe
- 11:25Speaker 1: eight in a row, so that's that seems wrong to me,
- 11:28Speaker 1: But I heard somebody say that stat so you might
- 11:30Speaker 1: have double check that one. Indy. Now, I could see
- 11:34Speaker 1: this going both ways with Indy though, because they beat
- 11:37Speaker 1: Denver last week, and for people who didn't see that,
- 11:40Speaker 1: it came down to, like the final, it came down
- 11:43Speaker 1: to a field goal at the end of the game.
- 11:44Speaker 1: The Indie won on a field goal, but they actually
- 11:47Speaker 1: rekicked the field goal because Denver got called for leverage
- 11:50Speaker 1: and the initial field goal attempt was a miss, and
- 11:53Speaker 1: then leverage got called and then that moved the field
- 11:56Speaker 1: goal closer and then India kicked the field goal to win.
- 11:58Speaker 1: People were saying it was not the correct call leverage,
- 12:01Speaker 1: because leverage means the defense. It's illegal to have a
- 12:06Speaker 1: defender get on top of another defender to try to
- 12:09Speaker 1: get more leverage to try to block a kick, which
- 12:11Speaker 1: I don't really think Denver did. I mean, I think
- 12:13Speaker 1: it was kind of a BS call, And I am
- 12:15Speaker 1: saying that as a fan of the Colts, and I
- 12:17Speaker 1: had the Colts and pick them last week, so I
- 12:21Speaker 1: could see that going both ways because it was a
- 12:23Speaker 1: dramatic win for Indye against a Denver team that did
- 12:26Speaker 1: beat them last year during the regular season. But Indy's
- 12:29Speaker 1: probably hearing all week like, oh, Indye deserved to lose
- 12:32Speaker 1: that game. They shouldn't have won that game. When a
- 12:33Speaker 1: team wins on like a BS call like that, it
- 12:36Speaker 1: can kind of motivate that team going to the next
- 12:38Speaker 1: week to some extent because they're just hearing all week like, oh,
- 12:42Speaker 1: that team shouldn't have won. So maybe that will motivate
- 12:45Speaker 1: Indy a little bit potentially, But it is still the
- 12:48Speaker 1: first road game that could be a little bit difficult,
- 12:50Speaker 1: although it's less difficult when it's a division game. I mean,
- 12:52Speaker 1: they play at Tennessee every year, so that they have
- 12:55Speaker 1: to kind of dial it back on how difficult that
- 12:57Speaker 1: is a little bit. But value wise, I think the
- 13:01Speaker 1: value is with taking the points of Tennessee and that
- 13:03Speaker 1: one not gonna be a play for me, though Falcons
- 13:07Speaker 1: Panthers will be a play for me, So I'll give
- 13:09Speaker 1: that out at the end of the show. You probably
- 13:10Speaker 1: already know what it is. Raiders at the Washington Redskins.
- 13:16Speaker 1: This is a weird matchup. I mean, it's one of
- 13:18Speaker 1: those inner conference matches. These teams don't play each other
- 13:21Speaker 1: very often, so a lot of times the home team
- 13:23Speaker 1: is kind of the way you want to look in
- 13:24Speaker 1: games like this. I talk about this like the out
- 13:27Speaker 1: of conference road games matter the least on a team
- 13:30Speaker 1: schedule because the in conference records are what the tiebreakers
- 13:34Speaker 1: come down to. So sometimes you do want to look
- 13:36Speaker 1: to that out of conference home team. Now we have
- 13:39Speaker 1: an interesting scenario in this game where Washington is gonna
- 13:42Speaker 1: be without Jaye Daniels in this game. So that's why
- 13:44Speaker 1: the line, which initially was five and a half, I
- 13:46Speaker 1: think it might have actually been six and a half
- 13:48Speaker 1: on the look at actually it was six. It looks
- 13:50Speaker 1: like it dropped to three, and that's because Jane Daniels
- 13:54Speaker 1: is out. Fifty tickets, sixty seven percent of the cash
- 13:56Speaker 1: on Washington. Now, though Washington they do have extra time off.
- 14:01Speaker 1: We saw them on Thursday night and they didn't look
- 14:03Speaker 1: very good. They got shut down by green Bay, and
- 14:05Speaker 1: they actually got shut down worse than it looks like
- 14:07Speaker 1: on the scoreboard because they actually scored like a garbage
- 14:11Speaker 1: time touchdown at the end to make it look a
- 14:12Speaker 1: little bit closer than it was. So I was right
- 14:14Speaker 1: about green Bay in that one, but coming off kind
- 14:18Speaker 1: of an ugly game like that, even though it was
- 14:20Speaker 1: a big game, extra time off. I think the extra
- 14:23Speaker 1: time off will help Washington here in this one. But
- 14:26Speaker 1: because Jaydon Daniels is out, I actually like Washington even
- 14:29Speaker 1: more because Jade Daniels is out, because I think you
- 14:32Speaker 1: get value. So I explained this. I feel like I
- 14:34Speaker 1: have to explain, like talk about this every week almost
- 14:37Speaker 1: In the NFL, it's the injured player theory. So when
- 14:39Speaker 1: a star player for a team goes down, that only
- 14:43Speaker 1: in the first game without that player, the team knows
- 14:45Speaker 1: they have to step up their game without him, so
- 14:47Speaker 1: the team plays a little bit extra hard for that reason,
- 14:51Speaker 1: but also you get line value, so the line usually
- 14:55Speaker 1: overreacts and moves too much. I know, like two and
- 14:57Speaker 1: a half three point line move actually doesn't seem like
- 15:00Speaker 1: that much of an overreaction. You think that with Jadon
- 15:02Speaker 1: Daniels the line would actually move a little bit more
- 15:04Speaker 1: than that. But you are on the key number three now,
- 15:07Speaker 1: so laying three, I think I would lean that way
- 15:10Speaker 1: with Washington. I don't think it's gonna be a huge downgrade,
- 15:14Speaker 1: to be honest, from Jane Daniels to Marcus Mariota, who
- 15:17Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been that good in the NFL,
- 15:20Speaker 1: but I think this is a decent system for him.
- 15:22Speaker 1: He played a little bit last year in the system too,
- 15:24Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels I think was injured a little bit
- 15:26Speaker 1: last year. So Marioda does know the system. He's gotten
- 15:30Speaker 1: into games of the system. But this is a system
- 15:32Speaker 1: that kind of revolves around like having a dual threat quarterback. Essentially,
- 15:38Speaker 1: Mariota is one, so I think he can go. You
- 15:41Speaker 1: can get in there and sub in fairly well there
- 15:43Speaker 1: and the Raiders are actually on a short week, so
- 15:46Speaker 1: they kind of really draw the short end here. They
- 15:48Speaker 1: had a big divisional game on Monday night, and I
- 15:50Speaker 1: thought it was a great spot for the Raiders and
- 15:52Speaker 1: they just could not get any offense together there. That
- 15:55Speaker 1: was a big game for them against the Chargers, and
- 15:57Speaker 1: now in a short week they have to go to
- 15:59Speaker 1: an unfamiliar venue. So yeah, I would lean to Washington
- 16:02Speaker 1: in this game. I'm actually almost convincing by something to
- 16:04Speaker 1: play play Washington in this one. I think Washington is
- 16:07Speaker 1: the right side in that game, even though I don't
- 16:11Speaker 1: think Washington is as good as they were last year
- 16:14Speaker 1: or as good as people even necessarily think Packers versus
- 16:17Speaker 1: the clowns, the Cleveland Browns, I'm gonna give give out
- 16:20Speaker 1: a play on that at the end of the show too.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Still in the one PM slate here Bengals Vikings. This
- 16:27Speaker 1: is one of the weirdest games on the slate, man,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and this is one of those out of conference road
- 16:32Speaker 1: games for the Bengals. So I kind of start the
- 16:35Speaker 1: handicap by saying, Okay, that means maybe I want to
- 16:37Speaker 1: look towards the Vikings here. The way this sets up
- 16:41Speaker 1: is kind of ridiculous. We do see the Vikings up
- 16:44Speaker 1: from one and a half to three here, and the
- 16:46Speaker 1: line has moved, So the opener I think was Vikings.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Maybe yep, it was. I thought it was one. It
- 16:51Speaker 1: was one and a half. It looks like they're according
- 16:53Speaker 1: to CBS. But the reason for the line movies because
- 16:57Speaker 1: actually both teams in this case have an in your quarterback,
- 17:01Speaker 1: so you have to really try to figure out what
- 17:03Speaker 1: that's going to mean for this handicap here the Vikings,
- 17:06Speaker 1: the odds makers are basically telling you they think that
- 17:09Speaker 1: the drop off in the Bengals quarterback, which is Joe
- 17:12Speaker 1: Burrow being replaced by Jake Browning, the odds makers are
- 17:17Speaker 1: actually telling you, based on this move, that they think
- 17:19Speaker 1: that's more of a significant a significant drop off than
- 17:22Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy dropping down to Carson Wentz. And I agree
- 17:25Speaker 1: with the with the odds makers in that assessment. So
- 17:29Speaker 1: I think that line move was actually about what it
- 17:32Speaker 1: should have done. I think it was about accurate. So
- 17:34Speaker 1: I actually do lean to the Vikings in this game,
- 17:36Speaker 1: which I'll explain further in a second, But at three,
- 17:40Speaker 1: I'm not really so sure I'd really want to lay
- 17:42Speaker 1: that though the three, Like if it was below three,
- 17:45Speaker 1: maybe i'd definitely be considering it as one of my
- 17:48Speaker 1: plays tickets are on the Vikings fifty percent of the
- 17:52Speaker 1: cash on the Bengals though, so looks the money's coming
- 17:54Speaker 1: in of the Bengals for some reason. I wouldn't really
- 17:57Speaker 1: think that the public would be off of the Bengals
- 17:59Speaker 1: here because the Bengals looked a lot better last week.
- 18:02Speaker 1: So Joe Borrow went down. He's got turf toe and
- 18:05Speaker 1: somehow turf toe and he's gonna be out for three months.
- 18:08Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. Joe Borrow never stays healthy.
- 18:11Speaker 1: I mean, the Bengals are two to zero, so I
- 18:13Speaker 1: don't understand how they're not public here, Like I know
- 18:15Speaker 1: the public they know that Joe Burrow's out, but Jake
- 18:19Speaker 1: Browning led them to a win last week. They were
- 18:22Speaker 1: on the verge of losing that game. Man Jacksonville, I
- 18:24Speaker 1: said that I lead to Jacksonville in the game last week,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and they were covering literally wired to Wirre in that game.
- 18:29Speaker 1: And the only time that Jacksonville was not covering the
- 18:31Speaker 1: plus three and a half was literally the final score
- 18:34Speaker 1: when Cincinnati kicked the extra point on that final field goal,
- 18:38Speaker 1: I believe, and that was it. Jacksonville was covering the
- 18:41Speaker 1: entire game otherwise, so people I think saw that game though,
- 18:45Speaker 1: and they think, oh my god, like Jake Brown, and
- 18:47Speaker 1: he did well in that game. He led them to
- 18:48Speaker 1: that comeback win. He looks good. He's got a hot girlfriend.
- 18:51Speaker 1: If you saw wearing the span Dex out there, you know.
- 18:55Speaker 1: So I'm actually pretty shocked that the public isn't really
- 18:58Speaker 1: on Cincinnati. I would think that they would be. I
- 19:02Speaker 1: think this is a difficult spot for Cincinnati that they
- 19:04Speaker 1: are going out on the road. Yes, it is an
- 19:05Speaker 1: injured player spot, so they are gonna have that factor
- 19:10Speaker 1: in this game where they're gonna get up for it
- 19:11Speaker 1: because they know it's Joe the first game that Joe
- 19:14Speaker 1: Borrow is actually out to start the game, so they
- 19:17Speaker 1: know they're gonna have to step it up for that game.
- 19:19Speaker 1: But they do have a pretty big game against Denver
- 19:21Speaker 1: up next, going a mile high. That's gonna be kind
- 19:25Speaker 1: of a repeat of one of those crucial games late
- 19:27Speaker 1: in the season last year. That game went into overtime
- 19:29Speaker 1: last year and Cincinnati won the game to stay live
- 19:32Speaker 1: in the playoff race last year because Cincinnati they needed
- 19:35Speaker 1: that game just a little bit more at that point.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So it's gonna be more of a revenge spot for
- 19:40Speaker 1: Denver if it's revenge at all, if they really care,
- 19:42Speaker 1: But it's still a bigger game. It's a bigger conference game,
- 19:45Speaker 1: and Minnesota's just really not looked good so far. So
- 19:48Speaker 1: for me, I mean, I think Cincinnati could kind of
- 19:50Speaker 1: overlook Minnesota. Hear Man, and I think that Browning is
- 19:55Speaker 1: not quite as good as he looked last week. Yes,
- 19:57Speaker 1: he has a lot of experience, and Joe Burrow can't
- 19:59Speaker 1: seem to stay health so yeah, Browning does have experience
- 20:01Speaker 1: in this system, so that's good. In Minnesota. I think
- 20:05Speaker 1: they're kind of a plug and play offense, to which
- 20:07Speaker 1: I said coming into Week one, I thought that it
- 20:10Speaker 1: didn't even really matter who their quarterback was going to
- 20:12Speaker 1: be in that game. I thought they would win anyway.
- 20:14Speaker 1: And JJ McCarthy did lead them to a comeback in
- 20:17Speaker 1: that game, so he looked okay, but then he was
- 20:20Speaker 1: just kind of overhyped and then he was awful in
- 20:22Speaker 1: the game against Atlanta, and I guess he got hurt
- 20:25Speaker 1: at some point, so he is hurt now coming into this.
- 20:28Speaker 1: But Minnesota is gonna be going with Carson wentz Man
- 20:32Speaker 1: and cart That might actually be an upgrade, to be honest,
- 20:35Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. He looked so bad against Atlanta and everybody
- 20:38Speaker 1: saw that game because that was Sunday Night last week.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Which is why I'm even more surprised that the public
- 20:44Speaker 1: is not on Cincinnati here, because why would they want
- 20:46Speaker 1: to be on the Vikings at all? After they only
- 20:48Speaker 1: scored six points against Atlanta and they looked terrible on
- 20:51Speaker 1: Sunday Night on national TV and everybody saw that game.
- 20:55Speaker 1: I don't get it. So yes, Minnesota, they're on a
- 20:57Speaker 1: little bit of a short week because they played on
- 20:59Speaker 1: Sunday night, But a lot of times when a team
- 21:00Speaker 1: looks so bad on primetime like that, you want to
- 21:03Speaker 1: look towards that team in the next game. I think
- 21:06Speaker 1: that's gonna be the case with Minnesota. And I actually
- 21:08Speaker 1: think Carson Wentz might be an upgrade, even though I
- 21:11Speaker 1: know he's not that good, but he has a lot
- 21:13Speaker 1: of NFL experience. He did lead that Philly team to
- 21:17Speaker 1: the playoffs at least that year before he got hurt,
- 21:20Speaker 1: and then everybody remembers Nick Foles won the Super Bowl
- 21:23Speaker 1: with them. He came in basically from out of nowhere
- 21:26Speaker 1: and won the Super Bowl against the Patriots. But Carson
- 21:30Speaker 1: Wentz played like a majority of that season. Man, I
- 21:32Speaker 1: think Wentz he can get into the system and he
- 21:34Speaker 1: can play well. And Minnesota has a much much better defense.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Cincinnati's defense is still a total liability. So you're playing Minnesota,
- 21:43Speaker 1: you're on the team with the better defense at the
- 21:45Speaker 1: very least. You know me, I like defense better than offense,
- 21:48Speaker 1: although I prefer getting points or having a shorter line
- 21:52Speaker 1: on that with the Vikings. But I personally would still
- 21:54Speaker 1: lean to the Vikings in that one with the injured players.
- 21:58Speaker 1: About both teams are in it, so both teams know
- 22:00Speaker 1: they have to step up their game for the backup quarterback.
- 22:03Speaker 1: But again I think the Vikings might have a little
- 22:06Speaker 1: bit more of that factor as well there because they
- 22:08Speaker 1: looked so bad in that game. So we will the Vikings. Yeah,
- 22:12Speaker 1: they're gay, they have that whatever, like male cheerleader male.
- 22:17Speaker 1: I don't even know if he slashed she even is male.
- 22:20Speaker 1: I don't know the fruit ball. Well. The other thing
- 22:23Speaker 1: I will say about this game before I move on
- 22:25Speaker 1: is that the Vikings have the way better coach. Kevin
- 22:28Speaker 1: O'Connell is way better than Zach Taylor. Is that his
- 22:32Speaker 1: name for the Bengals. I don't think Taylor's a very
- 22:34Speaker 1: good coach at all, So I think the Vikings have
- 22:36Speaker 1: a coaching mismatch in that game as well, So I'm
- 22:39Speaker 1: gonna lean that way in that one. Rams Eagles. This
- 22:42Speaker 1: is close to being a play for me. I was
- 22:44Speaker 1: considering a play on the Rams here. Man. The Eagles
- 22:46Speaker 1: do now for four and a half to three fifty
- 22:48Speaker 1: six per tickets, fifty nine percent of the cash on
- 22:50Speaker 1: the Eagles. For now, the cash is coming in on
- 22:53Speaker 1: the Eagles. But the line did drop a little bit.
- 22:55Speaker 1: The look ahead on this was Eagles four and a half,
- 22:59Speaker 1: so look ahead the line did drop a little bit
- 23:02Speaker 1: from that, but it's not really a significant drop, I
- 23:04Speaker 1: would say. I think maybe some of that was just
- 23:07Speaker 1: money coming in on the Rams after the line opened
- 23:09Speaker 1: at the same number. Philadelphia's just looked good so far, man.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I mean, everybody knows who they are. They're the Super
- 23:15Speaker 1: Bowl champs. They beat Dallas in Week one in primetime,
- 23:18Speaker 1: big divisional win there. Dallas with Dak Prescott back, put
- 23:22Speaker 1: up a fight. Philly still won and the game was
- 23:25Speaker 1: lightning delayed, so they had to play later. Then Philly
- 23:28Speaker 1: had to face Kansas City on the road at Arrowhead
- 23:31Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl rematch with Kansas City looking for revenge.
- 23:34Speaker 1: I thought Kansas City was actually going to get the
- 23:36Speaker 1: revenge if Philadelphia still won the game. Now they're coming
- 23:39Speaker 1: up of that and they get to play the Rams,
- 23:41Speaker 1: and the Rams are going to be the team looking
- 23:43Speaker 1: for revenge here in this one. I know Philly staved
- 23:46Speaker 1: off one team that was looking for revenge, but the
- 23:49Speaker 1: Rams are looking for revenge too. Man, it's playoff revenge again.
- 23:52Speaker 1: It's the only type of revenge that really matters that much,
- 23:55Speaker 1: or one of the only types. You definitely remember who
- 23:57Speaker 1: ended your season last year, Man, and the Rams. They
- 24:00Speaker 1: went into Philadelphia last year and Philadelphia knocked them out
- 24:03Speaker 1: of the playoffs. And I had Philadelphia in that game.
- 24:06Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia was about a minus five and a
- 24:08Speaker 1: half point favorite in that game or something like that.
- 24:10Speaker 1: I think they didn't cover. They won and didn't cover.
- 24:13Speaker 1: I think if I remember correct, I think they maybe
- 24:15Speaker 1: they pushed even it was like really close to the number.
- 24:19Speaker 1: The Rams definitely could have potentially won that game. Like
- 24:22Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley broke a couple of huge runs in that
- 24:25Speaker 1: game that really helped Philly out. I think the Rams
- 24:28Speaker 1: are gonna show up for this, man, I know the
- 24:30Speaker 1: line is lower than it was in that game, So like,
- 24:32Speaker 1: why is that the case? Why are the Eagles, like,
- 24:35Speaker 1: you know, basically three and a half point favorite in
- 24:37Speaker 1: this game instead of like five, five and half where
- 24:39Speaker 1: they were in the playoffs last year? Well, the Eagles
- 24:42Speaker 1: lost a lot of their defensive players. Man, they have
- 24:44Speaker 1: mostly the same offense this year, but I think their
- 24:48Speaker 1: offense is gonna actually take a little bit of a
- 24:49Speaker 1: step back to I think they a little bit. They
- 24:52Speaker 1: overperformed a little bit last year, but their defense lost
- 24:55Speaker 1: like half. They lost like half of their defensive personnel,
- 24:58Speaker 1: like I mentioned Sweat, but they also lost Gardner, Johnson
- 25:01Speaker 1: and Slay. So this Eagles defense I don't think is
- 25:05Speaker 1: going to be as good as last year. So I
- 25:06Speaker 1: think the Rams can actually take advantage. Their offense did
- 25:10Speaker 1: actually break out a little bit last week in a
- 25:11Speaker 1: get A game where I gave out Tennessee in that game,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and Tennessee was in that game, and then the Rams
- 25:16Speaker 1: just kind of exploded late and ran away with it,
- 25:20Speaker 1: unfortunately for me. But yes, it is a second straight
- 25:23Speaker 1: road game for the Rams, so it's a little bit
- 25:24Speaker 1: of a difficult spot for them. I don't know if
- 25:26Speaker 1: they went home. Would they go home like between these
- 25:29Speaker 1: two games though, where they have to go to Tennessee
- 25:31Speaker 1: and they have to go east, or do you think
- 25:32Speaker 1: they practice. I don't know. I'd have to look that up.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Hopefully they practice somewhere out on the road, because I
- 25:37Speaker 1: wouldn't want the Rams really if they went back home
- 25:40Speaker 1: and now they have a fly across country again. Hopefully
- 25:42Speaker 1: they practice at some other facility closer to the East
- 25:46Speaker 1: coast here man and people will say, you know, it's
- 25:48Speaker 1: these West coast teams going east whatever to play a game.
- 25:51Speaker 1: It's early with their biological clock. But I always say
- 25:53Speaker 1: that that is a little bit overstated. Again, I think
- 25:56Speaker 1: the worst biological clock spot is always an East Coast
- 25:59Speaker 1: team going out west to play a late game because
- 26:01Speaker 1: they have to play really late when they're like fatigued
- 26:03Speaker 1: basically at the end of the day. So I think
- 26:05Speaker 1: that's worse. So yes, I do like the Rams here.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I think the revenge kind of puts it a little
- 26:11Speaker 1: bit over the top. It's not a play for me,
- 26:12Speaker 1: but leaning to the Rams there, Colorado's up twenty eight
- 26:17Speaker 1: to three now, so I think I will survive and
- 26:19Speaker 1: survivor Steelers Patriots. Steelers at Patriots. The Steelers are up
- 26:26Speaker 1: from one to one and a half. You're fifty two
- 26:27Speaker 1: percent tickets, fifty six percent of the cash on the Steelers,
- 26:30Speaker 1: money coming in on the Steelers here. I believe the
- 26:34Speaker 1: Patriots went in to Pittsburgh and beat Pittsburgh last yearn
- 26:37Speaker 1: though the Patriots only four wins last year. I think
- 26:40Speaker 1: they beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh last year, if I'm
- 26:42Speaker 1: not mistaken. I think the Steelers made some mistakes in
- 26:45Speaker 1: that game, so it could be a little bit of
- 26:47Speaker 1: revenge for the Steelers, But I don't know if you
- 26:50Speaker 1: really care that much about revenge for some mid season
- 26:53Speaker 1: game against some team that maybe you don't really have
- 26:55Speaker 1: that much focus on the Steelers. They've looked fairly good
- 26:59Speaker 1: so far in that they put up a lot of
- 27:02Speaker 1: offense so far. Aaron Rodgers was really good in the
- 27:04Speaker 1: first game against the Jets. He wasn't as good against Seattle, though.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I think Seattle actually does have a pretty solid defense,
- 27:11Speaker 1: maybe a little bit underrated, so Rodgers. I think he
- 27:13Speaker 1: was in a letdown spot though, because apparently that Jets
- 27:17Speaker 1: game meant a lot more to him than I thought
- 27:18Speaker 1: it did. Beating his former team now Pittsburgh going out
- 27:23Speaker 1: on the road again after a loss. Sometimes it's a
- 27:25Speaker 1: good thing to go out on the roading and after
- 27:26Speaker 1: a loss because he kind of just forget what happened
- 27:28Speaker 1: at home. But I'm not quite sure that I love
- 27:31Speaker 1: Pittsburgh here, man. Pittsburgh actually is not one in New
- 27:33Speaker 1: England since like I think two thousand and eight something
- 27:38Speaker 1: like that, which might have been the Matt Was that
- 27:39Speaker 1: the Matt Castle year or something I don't remember, but
- 27:43Speaker 1: Pittsburgh they do not do well in New England historically,
- 27:45Speaker 1: so that's something to keep in mind. The Patriots, they
- 27:48Speaker 1: might be on a little bit of an improvement trajectories.
- 27:51Speaker 1: They didn't look very good in Week one at home.
- 27:53Speaker 1: They haven't won a game at home yet, so I
- 27:54Speaker 1: think they're gonna want to get this game. Man. They
- 27:57Speaker 1: did go down on the road and beat Miami on
- 27:59Speaker 1: the oh. There's just somewhat impressive, even though I know
- 28:02Speaker 1: Miami doesn't look good at all, so people aren't gonna
- 28:04Speaker 1: put that much weighted to that. But Patriots. Still, it's
- 28:07Speaker 1: a fairly difficult road divisional game to go down and
- 28:10Speaker 1: do that in the heat maybe which you're not totally
- 28:13Speaker 1: used to all the Yeah. I mean, I don't know
- 28:15Speaker 1: how hot it really was there. But this is a
- 28:17Speaker 1: hard handicap for me, man, because there just isn't that
- 28:19Speaker 1: much of a situation to look for. To me, I
- 28:23Speaker 1: just think the Steelers are a little bit of a
- 28:25Speaker 1: public road favorite here, although I know I see more
- 28:27Speaker 1: of the money coming in on them. This is gonna
- 28:29Speaker 1: be one of the ones where I might flip flop
- 28:30Speaker 1: on this, as I say on the show, like I
- 28:33Speaker 1: do the market read here, and then as far as
- 28:35Speaker 1: like picking it, I have to pick every game and
- 28:37Speaker 1: like pick coms and whatever, So if I don't have
- 28:39Speaker 1: like a particularly strong opinion on a particular game, my
- 28:42Speaker 1: opinion actually might wind up changing right before the game
- 28:44Speaker 1: or whatever based on what I see like the late
- 28:46Speaker 1: market movement to This might be one of those games, man.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Right now, it's difficult because I initially did lean to
- 28:51Speaker 1: the Patriots. I think I still do, but now it
- 28:54Speaker 1: looks like the money might be coming in on the Steelers.
- 28:57Speaker 1: I've heard some professionals like the steel this one. I
- 29:00Speaker 1: just don't or like the Patriots. Excuse me, like the
- 29:03Speaker 1: Patriots in that one. I just don't have a strong
- 29:05Speaker 1: gauge on that game at all. Jets Buccaneers will be
- 29:08Speaker 1: my last play, so I'm gonna give that out at
- 29:10Speaker 1: the end of the show as well. Texas Jaguars to
- 29:13Speaker 1: finish off the one PM, so all my players are
- 29:15Speaker 1: gonna be in the one pm slate, not doing any
- 29:18Speaker 1: prime time this time. Texas Jaguars will get another So
- 29:23Speaker 1: the AFC seuth are actually all the teams in the
- 29:25Speaker 1: AFC South are playing each other this week. The Jags
- 29:28Speaker 1: are down from one and a half point favorite to
- 29:30Speaker 1: a one point favorite. But it looks like the Texans
- 29:32Speaker 1: are very public seventy eight percent of tickets, only seventy
- 29:35Speaker 1: four percent of cash. So this is one of those
- 29:37Speaker 1: types of things where I tell you, man, when you
- 29:39Speaker 1: have a public road underdog like that, it looks like
- 29:42Speaker 1: less of the cash is on them. I tend to
- 29:44Speaker 1: want to look towards that home favorite, so I would
- 29:46Speaker 1: lean to the Jaguars in this game because of that.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Houston's also on a short week, but both teams are
- 29:51Speaker 1: kind of off, like pretty difficult losses to be honest.
- 29:55Speaker 1: But Houston is on the short week, so I think
- 29:57Speaker 1: that makes it a little bit worse for them. Houston
- 29:59Speaker 1: coming up the really difficult loss right at the end
- 30:02Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay. That was a pretty, i would say,
- 30:06Speaker 1: heartbreaking loss, even though I know it's not like they
- 30:08Speaker 1: have like a rivalry or anything like that, Houston against
- 30:11Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But still it was a big Monday night game.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Houston probably should have won the game. I gave out
- 30:16Speaker 1: Houston as a lean in that one on my show,
- 30:19Speaker 1: and they fell just short right at the end. Their
- 30:22Speaker 1: defense just gave up a one of the only touchdown
- 30:26Speaker 1: drives for Tampa all game. Houston gave it up right
- 30:30Speaker 1: at the end. Really difficult. Now they're gonna go on
- 30:32Speaker 1: the road here to face the Jaguars. The Jags I
- 30:35Speaker 1: think are a bit improved this year, and people may
- 30:37Speaker 1: not realize that yet. People probably just won't care that much. Oh,
- 30:40Speaker 1: Jacksonville beat Carolina. People won't really be impressed by that.
- 30:44Speaker 1: But I'm impressed by what Jacksonville did last week. Man,
- 30:46Speaker 1: they basically should have beaten the Bengals last week. So
- 30:50Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence healthy and out there, this Jacksonville team
- 30:52Speaker 1: is way different than what you saw without him last year.
- 30:56Speaker 1: And I think they're a somewhat balanced team. Man, it's
- 30:58Speaker 1: not too bad, you know, and it's gonna be uh
- 31:03Speaker 1: Liam Cohen, their coach. I don't know how good he
- 31:06Speaker 1: is yet, but I believe Cohen was actually the offensive
- 31:08Speaker 1: coordinator for Tampa last year, so Baker Mayfield actually doesn't
- 31:12Speaker 1: have that much continuity there with the coordinator. I think
- 31:15Speaker 1: he's had a different coordinator every single year. Just a
- 31:17Speaker 1: tidbit there on Tampa Bay, which I'll be talking about
- 31:21Speaker 1: Tampa Bay later in the show. But yeah, I mean,
- 31:24Speaker 1: I don't really have too much of a situation I'll
- 31:26Speaker 1: read on this other than the fact that both teams
- 31:28Speaker 1: are coming off heartbreaking losses. They lost right at the end,
- 31:31Speaker 1: but Houston's is more fresh in mind because it was
- 31:33Speaker 1: on a big primetime game in Monday night, So I
- 31:35Speaker 1: think Jacksonville may be the right side in that one.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Houston's gonna have to go outdoor, so I don't know
- 31:41Speaker 1: if that's gonna affect them a bit or not. I
- 31:43Speaker 1: did point out last year at some point that c. J.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Stroud hasn't quite hasn't been quite as good in outdoor games,
- 31:51Speaker 1: although I think he does worse when it's like cold
- 31:53Speaker 1: or like bad weather and stuff like that, which is
- 31:56Speaker 1: kind of weird. Because I think he did play at
- 31:58Speaker 1: Ohio State. But in college, you don't really play late
- 32:02Speaker 1: enough into the winter that it really starts getting cold.
- 32:04Speaker 1: So but of course that's not gonna be the case
- 32:06Speaker 1: he had in Jacksonville early in the season. That's not
- 32:08Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. But they are gonna be outdoors
- 32:11Speaker 1: going into the four pm slates. We have another big
- 32:14Speaker 1: divisional game between the Broncos and the Chargers four pm Eastern. Here,
- 32:19Speaker 1: Chargers basically just sitting at a three point favorite. As
- 32:22Speaker 1: far as the look ahead in this one, I don't
- 32:26Speaker 1: know if it was that much. It probably wasn't that
- 32:27Speaker 1: much of a difference. Where was it? Where was it?
- 32:29Speaker 1: Chargers were actually one and a half, So the Chargers
- 32:31Speaker 1: are actually up to three, So that is a little
- 32:33Speaker 1: bit of a difference. It went up to a key
- 32:34Speaker 1: number three. The Chargers of the hype right now. Man,
- 32:37Speaker 1: they got sixty three percent tickets, only sixty percent of
- 32:40Speaker 1: the cash. So I think I'm gonna lean to the
- 32:42Speaker 1: Broncos in this game. Even though I came into the
- 32:44Speaker 1: season saying that I thought the Chargers had a pretty
- 32:46Speaker 1: solid chance to win this division. I thought the Broncos
- 32:50Speaker 1: might actually come in behind both the Chargers and the Chiefs.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I thought the Broncos might have that little like sophomore
- 32:56Speaker 1: slump with Bonnicks potentially there, because a lot of times
- 32:59Speaker 1: when these works quarterbacks take the league by surprise, the
- 33:02Speaker 1: league kind of figures them out a little bit. In
- 33:04Speaker 1: year two, I thought that might be the case. But
- 33:08Speaker 1: in this particular matchup, the money is kind of saying
- 33:11Speaker 1: to look towards the Denver Broncos, and I may agree
- 33:15Speaker 1: with that, even though I know it is in LA,
- 33:17Speaker 1: but LA, I mean, they don't really have them. The
- 33:19Speaker 1: Chargers don't have a huge home field advantage in this stadium. Man,
- 33:22Speaker 1: it seems like they just don't get a great crowd
- 33:24Speaker 1: there for whatever reason. Maybe it'll get better as they
- 33:26Speaker 1: continue to get better, though generally, I do think the
- 33:30Speaker 1: Chargers will do better out of the two teams this year.
- 33:32Speaker 1: But I just don't love the spot. The Chargers are
- 33:35Speaker 1: coming up Monday night, so it's a short week for
- 33:37Speaker 1: them too. They had to win a Monday Night in
- 33:39Speaker 1: a divisional game. They had to come back for Brazil
- 33:42Speaker 1: the prior week, so it's not really an easy spot
- 33:44Speaker 1: for them. They are coming back home, but they're having
- 33:47Speaker 1: to play three straight divisional games, including two isolated primetime games,
- 33:51Speaker 1: and they beat both teams, Kansas City and the Raiders.
- 33:55Speaker 1: The hype is on them, Man, it's a short week.
- 33:58Speaker 1: At some point they're gonna have to like lack effort
- 34:01Speaker 1: a little bit in some game. And I know this
- 34:03Speaker 1: is a big game still in the division, but I
- 34:05Speaker 1: think it's a more difficult spot for the Chargers here, man.
- 34:08Speaker 1: And I saw like on this TV behind me here,
- 34:11Speaker 1: I saw like some NFL shows, like show on ESPN
- 34:14Speaker 1: earlier this week where they were discussing are the Chargers
- 34:19Speaker 1: the favorite to win the AFC? So it's like everybody's
- 34:22Speaker 1: overreacting what they've seen so far, Like, yeah, the Chargers
- 34:25Speaker 1: are good. Yeah, I think they have a good chance
- 34:26Speaker 1: to win this division. Yeah, they definitely should make the playoffs.
- 34:29Speaker 1: But we have two weeks. Man, you're talking about the
- 34:32Speaker 1: Chargers winning the entire AFC already, Like, let's hold your
- 34:36Speaker 1: horses a little bit here. It's still only horrid bus
- 34:39Speaker 1: second year, I think, you know, which should be an
- 34:41Speaker 1: improvement for the first year. But the Chargers, they're just
- 34:44Speaker 1: way too hype for my liking right now. Man, in Denver,
- 34:47Speaker 1: probably gonna be a little bit pissed about the way
- 34:49Speaker 1: they lost that game, although I don't know if basically
- 34:52Speaker 1: hearing everybody saying, oh, they should have won that game,
- 34:54Speaker 1: they should have won that game. If that's gonna maybe
- 34:58Speaker 1: kind of like give them two much over confidence or whatever,
- 35:02Speaker 1: too much confidence coming into this one. We'll see. And
- 35:04Speaker 1: Broncos did lose green Law. He can never stay healthy.
- 35:07Speaker 1: He was never healthy seemingly with the forty nine ers.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Now I guess he's not healthy with the Broncos. So
- 35:12Speaker 1: the Broncos did lose him, but they still have a
- 35:15Speaker 1: solid deep beense man, so I think it's probably gonna
- 35:18Speaker 1: be a bit of a low scoring game, would be
- 35:19Speaker 1: my opinion. I mean, the oddsmakers are kind of saying
- 35:22Speaker 1: that total did go up a little bit from forty
- 35:24Speaker 1: three and a half to forty five and have but
- 35:26Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of tickets only fifty five percent of
- 35:28Speaker 1: the cash on the over, So the money seems maybe
- 35:31Speaker 1: like it's coming back in on the under in this one. Chargers,
- 35:33Speaker 1: you know, they play a slow possession style game. Broncos
- 35:37Speaker 1: have a solid deep bense, so I definitely could see
- 35:39Speaker 1: it being a bit of a low scoring game there,
- 35:41Speaker 1: which does help the underdogs case a little bit. If
- 35:44Speaker 1: that is the case Denver, I mean, they are still
- 35:46Speaker 1: coming off a game where they're probably gonna be a
- 35:48Speaker 1: little bit piss having played Indi although they do have
- 35:50Speaker 1: to go to the Pacific coast here, but it's not
- 35:52Speaker 1: a late night game at least in Denver. You know,
- 35:55Speaker 1: they're traveling through a couple of different time zones here
- 35:58Speaker 1: having last played in Indiana, So maybe a little bit
- 36:00Speaker 1: difficult that second straight road game sometimes a little bit
- 36:03Speaker 1: more difficult, But I think I still need to Denver
- 36:06Speaker 1: in that game. Not a play for me, though Saint Seahawks.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Seahawks are one of the most public teams of the week.
- 36:12Speaker 1: They're down a little bit from seven a half to seven.
- 36:15Speaker 1: As a home favorite, I think I'm probably gonna have
- 36:18Speaker 1: to go with the Seahawks and survivor or just hope
- 36:20Speaker 1: that they win, because you gotta look at future value, man,
- 36:24Speaker 1: and the Seahawks basically don't have any future value because
- 36:26Speaker 1: I don't think that they're that good and they don't
- 36:28Speaker 1: really have any survivor where the games left all season.
- 36:32Speaker 1: So I think from that perspective, I think you kind
- 36:34Speaker 1: of have to play the Seahawks in survivor in my
- 36:37Speaker 1: opinion here and hold off on some of the better teams.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Like I didn't play the Bills on Thursday. I'm saving
- 36:42Speaker 1: them because it's you gotta be low time preference man,
- 36:46Speaker 1: and think about the future value. You can't just be like, oh,
- 36:50Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the big favorite every week. I mean,
- 36:52Speaker 1: that'll last year for a little while, but it won't.
- 36:53Speaker 1: We need these like big pools. But I might have
- 36:56Speaker 1: to use the Seahawks here and just hope that they
- 36:59Speaker 1: get the job done because I'm not sure that they're
- 37:00Speaker 1: gonna cover this number. I think, of course they can
- 37:03Speaker 1: win without covering, but it might get a little iffy.
- 37:05Speaker 1: It's a low total. It's up to forty one and
- 37:07Speaker 1: a half money a little bit coming into the over though,
- 37:10Speaker 1: seventy seven percent of tickets eighty three percent of the
- 37:12Speaker 1: cash coming in the over. I don't know if that's
- 37:14Speaker 1: gonna be the case, man. Because the Seahawks, uh, their
- 37:17Speaker 1: offense hasn't looked very impressive. Sam Donald. You know me,
- 37:21Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Sam Donald fan. I think last
- 37:23Speaker 1: year is kind of a flash in the pan. I
- 37:25Speaker 1: think it had more to do with the O'Connell system.
- 37:28Speaker 1: H Donald. I mean, I know the Seahawks put up
- 37:30Speaker 1: a bunch of points last week against the Steelers, but
- 37:33Speaker 1: the Steelers defense doesn't look very good so far. The
- 37:38Speaker 1: Saints Stephens isn't that good either, So maybe Donald'll do
- 37:40Speaker 1: okay year, but I still don't think the Seahawks are
- 37:42Speaker 1: really a very good offense. The Seahawks have some injuries here.
- 37:46Speaker 1: It looks like Smith Nijigba is a game time decision,
- 37:50Speaker 1: so I don't know if he's gonna play, and Sharbonnay
- 37:52Speaker 1: is out, so I don't know who else they have
- 37:53Speaker 1: it running back, but he's not playing in this game,
- 37:56Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a little bit It's gonna be
- 37:58Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult for the Seahawks to get
- 38:00Speaker 1: their offense going. Saints' offense is miserable though, so I mean,
- 38:03Speaker 1: I could see this game be pretty low scoring the
- 38:06Speaker 1: Saints going with us Spencer Rattler still. The one thing
- 38:09Speaker 1: about Rattler is they don't put him in a position
- 38:11Speaker 1: where they're not asking him to do too much, so
- 38:15Speaker 1: they're not putting him in like risky positions. He actually
- 38:18Speaker 1: I don't think he's turned the ball over yet. So
- 38:20Speaker 1: the Saints have not turned the ball over very much yet,
- 38:22Speaker 1: so at least there's that, even though they're own two
- 38:25Speaker 1: and I talked about that already though. By the way,
- 38:27Speaker 1: the O and two teams tend to be good to
- 38:30Speaker 1: cover the spread, man, so that's something something to consider there.
- 38:34Speaker 1: I know the Texans are owing too though, and I
- 38:37Speaker 1: just kind of said that I leaned against them, But
- 38:39Speaker 1: the only two teams they do tend to cover the
- 38:41Speaker 1: spread more often than not, and I think it's better
- 38:43Speaker 1: when they're a big underdog. Usually they are an underdog.
- 38:47Speaker 1: So yeah, Saints, at least with Rattler, he's not out
- 38:51Speaker 1: there making mistakes right now, so there is that. So
- 38:55Speaker 1: he does that, but he makes a lot of just
- 38:57Speaker 1: like short throws, man, it's a lot of dink and
- 39:00Speaker 1: from the Saints' office, So it could be could be
- 39:03Speaker 1: a real ugly game there, man. As far as the side,
- 39:05Speaker 1: the Seahawks, eighty nine percent of tickets, ninety one percent
- 39:08Speaker 1: of the cashley are very public allthough looks like a
- 39:10Speaker 1: little bit more of the cash coming into them. I'm
- 39:12Speaker 1: not sure that's gonna be the case when the game
- 39:14Speaker 1: kicks off. Seahawks have Kenneth Walker the third, that's right,
- 39:19Speaker 1: So he's an experienced running backs. This shouldn't be that
- 39:21Speaker 1: much much of a downgrade than really he used to
- 39:24Speaker 1: be their starter, So that's probably not a huge downgrade
- 39:26Speaker 1: really from Charbonney. Yeah, as far as the scheduling spot here,
- 39:34Speaker 1: it's a little bit difficult for the Seahawks. They did
- 39:36Speaker 1: have a big win over Aaron Rodgers, maybe they'll consider
- 39:38Speaker 1: that to be a big win. And after this game
- 39:40Speaker 1: they have to turn around and play at Arizona divisional
- 39:43Speaker 1: matchup on Thursday night, and Arizona's two and zero right now,
- 39:46Speaker 1: so it's a bit of a look ahead spot for Seattle.
- 39:49Speaker 1: They might not totally pay attention to New Orleans with
- 39:51Speaker 1: this big divisional matchup up next man, and they have
- 39:53Speaker 1: to turn around and do that in three days basically
- 39:56Speaker 1: four days. So not really the greatest spot for Seattle
- 40:00Speaker 1: as far as that since there. New Orleans is playing
- 40:02Speaker 1: their first road game of the season, though, and that's
- 40:04Speaker 1: not that easy either, and they're coming up a pretty
- 40:06Speaker 1: big game as well where they hang in that game
- 40:08Speaker 1: against San Francisco, And I mean, usually you're gonna get
- 40:11Speaker 1: up for a game against San Francisco it's a big game,
- 40:13Speaker 1: and they are still the forty nine ers, even though
- 40:15Speaker 1: I know it was without Brock Purdy and whatever New
- 40:18Speaker 1: Orleans close game there. So having to play some pretty
- 40:22Speaker 1: tough games all in a row here though, So it's
- 40:23Speaker 1: not exactly the easiest spot for them either. I would
- 40:26Speaker 1: still slightly take in the points with the Saints overall them.
- 40:31Speaker 1: The line has hit that key number seven at least,
- 40:34Speaker 1: or the Seahawks look ahead. It was six and a
- 40:36Speaker 1: half and now it's sevens. You are getting the key
- 40:38Speaker 1: number there at least if you want to take the
- 40:40Speaker 1: underdog Dallas at Chicago. Is that the next game up? Yes,
- 40:46Speaker 1: it is. Dallas has flipped from one to that point dog,
- 40:49Speaker 1: I guess to one point favorite. They're very public though,
- 40:52Speaker 1: or fairly public, seventy nine percent of tickets, eighty percent
- 40:56Speaker 1: of the cash on them for now. But I think
- 40:58Speaker 1: I actually lead to the payers this game. Nobody's gonna
- 41:01Speaker 1: want to take the Bears here. Man. You know me
- 41:03Speaker 1: as a contrarian, I'm not gonna want to play it.
- 41:05Speaker 1: But I don't think the spot is great for Dallas.
- 41:09Speaker 1: They're coming off two big divisional games against Philly primetime,
- 41:14Speaker 1: where they played pretty close, and they had that lightning
- 41:16Speaker 1: delay thing, very weird, and then they played that barn
- 41:19Speaker 1: burner last week against the Giants. Man, it was a
- 41:23Speaker 1: big game. They got to win the divisional win. You
- 41:25Speaker 1: could say maybe they should be embarrassed because they almost
- 41:27Speaker 1: lost to the Giants. Maybe they should be, but that's
- 41:30Speaker 1: still a big divisional win in a hard fought game. Man.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Now they can go to Chicago. And what do they
- 41:34Speaker 1: have next next week in primetime? I think on Sunday
- 41:37Speaker 1: night they have the Michael Parsons Bowl. They got to
- 41:40Speaker 1: play green Bay. Dallas has to go up against Michael Parsons.
- 41:44Speaker 1: So they traded away to green Bay right before the
- 41:46Speaker 1: season started. Everybody's gonna talk about that. That's a big
- 41:49Speaker 1: game in primetime. So it's a little bit of a
- 41:51Speaker 1: sandwich spot for Dallas here and Dallas, I mean last week, man,
- 41:56Speaker 1: they made Russell Wilson look like a god. I mean,
- 41:59Speaker 1: Russe wil looked like he was done, Like he's totally washed.
- 42:02Speaker 1: He's looked awful. And Dallas's defense, at least their past
- 42:06Speaker 1: defense was so bad that Russell Wilson got like threw
- 42:10Speaker 1: over four hundred yards against them and totally lit them up,
- 42:13Speaker 1: and whereas the previous week, I was like, just bring
- 42:15Speaker 1: Jackson Dard out there, and I'm still saying that. I
- 42:17Speaker 1: still don't think Russell Wilson is even good at this
- 42:20Speaker 1: point at all. I think that's just more how bad
- 42:23Speaker 1: Dallas's defense is. So y I killing Williams. I don't
- 42:26Speaker 1: think he's good. I really don't. I mean I've made
- 42:29Speaker 1: that a point on the show. I don't think he's good.
- 42:31Speaker 1: I think he's a bust. But he gets to go
- 42:34Speaker 1: up against one of the weaker pass defenses here, man,
- 42:36Speaker 1: so he might be able to do something against this
- 42:38Speaker 1: Dallas defense that really is not good. The Bears defense
- 42:42Speaker 1: hasn't been good either, though, so this is more about
- 42:45Speaker 1: the spot. I don't think it's a bad spot for Dallas.
- 42:48Speaker 1: The Bears. I mean, they got lit up last week
- 42:50Speaker 1: bad by Detroit. Detroit got a lot of yards against them.
- 42:53Speaker 1: Chicago did have a couple turnovers in that game as well,
- 42:56Speaker 1: but it wasn't all turnovers that led to that. Chicago
- 43:00Speaker 1: they're one of those O and two teams And what
- 43:02Speaker 1: did I just say, Oh and two? Baby want to
- 43:04Speaker 1: look to play on those two teams for the most part,
- 43:07Speaker 1: and they just got that was embarrassing, man, getting blown
- 43:10Speaker 1: out like that against Detroit. But you know Detroit hearing
- 43:14Speaker 1: how bad they were against green Bay the week before that, Oh, Detroit,
- 43:17Speaker 1: Jared goth they can't play without Ben without they can't
- 43:21Speaker 1: play yeah without Ben Johnson there. So I was I
- 43:25Speaker 1: was kind of saying the same thing to some extent,
- 43:28Speaker 1: Like I thought the Bears would put up a better
- 43:29Speaker 1: performance in that game. Man, Was I wrong? I thought
- 43:31Speaker 1: the Bears deepense would be a lot better. So yeah,
- 43:35Speaker 1: I mean the Bears, it's embarrassing, man. So you know
- 43:38Speaker 1: they're going to be using this week to shore some
- 43:40Speaker 1: things up, man, and do better this time. And they
- 43:42Speaker 1: are getting to face a one dimensional Dallas offense this time.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Though Dallas could certainly throw the ball, they can't really
- 43:48Speaker 1: run it. We'll see what happens in this game. Man.
- 43:51Speaker 1: It's a very high total. I think it's the highest
- 43:53Speaker 1: total of the week. So people are talking about this total.
- 43:55Speaker 1: It's gone all the way up from forty six to
- 43:57Speaker 1: now fifty forty seven, fifty one or key numbers on total.
- 44:01Speaker 1: So it's gone right through that forty seven all the
- 44:04Speaker 1: way up to fifty and now we see eighty eight
- 44:05Speaker 1: percent of tickets are on the over. The public is
- 44:07Speaker 1: gonna want the over. I mean, of course they are.
- 44:10Speaker 1: They just saw the Bears just gave up fifty two
- 44:12Speaker 1: points last week. You know, a high scoring game on
- 44:15Speaker 1: both sides, seventy something points scored. I think both of
- 44:19Speaker 1: these teams games we had seventy something points scored, right, Dallas,
- 44:23Speaker 1: what was the scorer in that one? Yeah, both both
- 44:25Speaker 1: teams were involved in seventy plus point games last week.
- 44:28Speaker 1: So nobody in their right mind is gonna want to
- 44:30Speaker 1: play an under in this game. The total went way
- 44:33Speaker 1: up to only seventy four percent of the cash on
- 44:35Speaker 1: the over, though, So I'm insane and I'm a contrarian.
- 44:39Speaker 1: So even though I kind of see the arguments to
- 44:42Speaker 1: the over here as well, obviously, because you got two,
- 44:44Speaker 1: I mean you got a passing offense that's good on
- 44:46Speaker 1: the Cowboys side of bad passing defense there Bears defense,
- 44:49Speaker 1: it doesn't look good either. It doesn't It could be
- 44:52Speaker 1: an over. But the contrarian in me says no. It
- 44:56Speaker 1: says that the team the games were so high scoring
- 44:58Speaker 1: last week that I think in I think it might
- 45:00Speaker 1: be an under. I know it sounds crazy, but if
- 45:03Speaker 1: it's an under I think that does help the Bears,
- 45:06Speaker 1: because the Bears are not gonna be able to win
- 45:08Speaker 1: this in a shootout. Man, you cannot compete with the
- 45:11Speaker 1: Cowboys passing attack with Caleb Williams. You can't enter it
- 45:14Speaker 1: to a shootout when that's what your offense is, right.
- 45:17Speaker 1: You have to slow the Cowboys down somehow, so the
- 45:19Speaker 1: Bears they're gonna try to establish the run. I would
- 45:22Speaker 1: have to imagine to try to slow this game down.
- 45:24Speaker 1: And the only way they can win this game is
- 45:26Speaker 1: really to keep the Cowboys offense off the field for
- 45:29Speaker 1: big parts of the game. I would imagine that the
- 45:31Speaker 1: Bears should be able to, I think, do some damage
- 45:34Speaker 1: against this Cowboys defense. So lean to the Bears. Cowboys.
- 45:41Speaker 1: David Clowney, I thought I didn't even know he was
- 45:43Speaker 1: still around at all. You like the Bears, Charles, all right?
- 45:46Speaker 1: Not many people do. And I don't mean you know,
- 45:49Speaker 1: big hairy gay men. I mean I mean the Chicago
- 45:52Speaker 1: Bears football team, although maybe some of them are both,
- 45:55Speaker 1: I don't know. Then we get to the final game
- 45:57Speaker 1: in the four PM slate here Cardinal forty nine ers,
- 46:00Speaker 1: another divisional game. Forty nine ers up from one to
- 46:03Speaker 1: two here one and a half to two forty nine
- 46:06Speaker 1: ers feels like they should be more of a favorite
- 46:08Speaker 1: than this fifty three percent to take a seventy three
- 46:10Speaker 1: percent of the cash coming in the forty nine ers,
- 46:12Speaker 1: So the money is coming into the forty nine ers.
- 46:15Speaker 1: I have a hard time at this game, man, because
- 46:17Speaker 1: the reason why the forty nine ers are only two
- 46:19Speaker 1: point favorite is because brock Purdy is still out. Like,
- 46:22Speaker 1: I think if he was playing, this line would move
- 46:24Speaker 1: up to like four and a half five, I would imagine.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Let me see what was the look ahead on this
- 46:29Speaker 1: The lookout was two and a half, but I think
- 46:31Speaker 1: the look ahead was still accounting for brock Purdy being out.
- 46:33Speaker 1: I don't think he's back yet. He's doubtful, I think,
- 46:36Speaker 1: as far as it is right now, I don't know
- 46:37Speaker 1: what his injury is. But it looks like you're gonna
- 46:39Speaker 1: get more mac Jones for the forty nine ers here
- 46:42Speaker 1: now the forty nine ers, I mean, they do have
- 46:44Speaker 1: other talent on their offense, of course, so I think
- 46:46Speaker 1: Kittle might still be out too. So some'th going to
- 46:49Speaker 1: look into you there. I don't know if he's playing
- 46:50Speaker 1: in this game or not. Forty nine Ers did win
- 46:52Speaker 1: without these guys last week against the Saints, though. I
- 46:55Speaker 1: mean the Saints could be the worst team in the
- 46:57Speaker 1: NFL potentially, but are sitting at two and oh so
- 47:01Speaker 1: are the Cardinals. It's a big game for both teams.
- 47:04Speaker 1: The Cardinals, they seem to like never get over the
- 47:07Speaker 1: hump man. They do tend to play the forty nine
- 47:09Speaker 1: ers pretty tough, but usually the forty nine ers are
- 47:12Speaker 1: big favorite against them, and this time they're not. I
- 47:16Speaker 1: don't know, man, maybe the forty nine ers playing with
- 47:18Speaker 1: a little bit of a chip on their shoulder because
- 47:19Speaker 1: the line is so low. But when it's a second
- 47:22Speaker 1: game without your starting quarterback right like I talked about
- 47:25Speaker 1: last week, would have been the injured player spot for
- 47:27Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, which I mentioned last week. So
- 47:29Speaker 1: that was their first game without Brock Perdy. Sometimes when
- 47:32Speaker 1: that happens, that you step up your game for that game,
- 47:35Speaker 1: you take a step back in the second game. That
- 47:37Speaker 1: second game, you actually want to look to fade that
- 47:39Speaker 1: team in the second game with the players still injured.
- 47:42Speaker 1: So that is coming into play here in this game.
- 47:45Speaker 1: So the money is saying the forty nine Ers looks
- 47:47Speaker 1: like a pretty significant cash disparity there with the forty
- 47:50Speaker 1: nine ers. I'm not totally sure that I see that.
- 47:54Speaker 1: I mean, again, it's a big game for both teams,
- 47:56Speaker 1: so it's not like one team is going to be
- 47:57Speaker 1: distracted or whatever. Arizona, to their resume, maybe is a
- 48:02Speaker 1: little bit less impressive so far. I mean, neither team
- 48:05Speaker 1: has played very good teams so far. Both teams have
- 48:07Speaker 1: beaten New Orleans, so that's not totally impressive. But Arizona
- 48:10Speaker 1: last week, I know, they had a big lead. They
- 48:13Speaker 1: were my survivor last week. They had a big lead
- 48:15Speaker 1: in this game twenty seven to three against Carolina, and
- 48:17Speaker 1: they almost blew it at the end. But they actually
- 48:21Speaker 1: got outgained by Carolina in this one. Man, if you
- 48:24Speaker 1: go look, yeah, they got out gained three p fifty
- 48:27Speaker 1: two to two ninety three. So that's a little bit
- 48:28Speaker 1: of a red flag that Arizona at home got out
- 48:31Speaker 1: gained by the Panthers by that much. So maybe not
- 48:34Speaker 1: quite all is right with the Cardinals here, man. On
- 48:37Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers played the most difficult opponent that
- 48:40Speaker 1: either team has faced so far. As ridiculous as that sounds,
- 48:44Speaker 1: that Seattle and the forty nine ers were able to
- 48:47Speaker 1: handle their business in that game at least, although they
- 48:49Speaker 1: were definitely helped out by some mistakes and Sam Darnold
- 48:54Speaker 1: kind of crashed into his own offensive line and have
- 48:56Speaker 1: fumbled the football when Seattle was about to potentially win
- 48:59Speaker 1: the game at the end of that game with a
- 49:01Speaker 1: score in forty nine or territory forty nine ers. The
- 49:05Speaker 1: other thing they do have going for them is this
- 49:06Speaker 1: is their home opener. They haven't played at home yet,
- 49:08Speaker 1: so that's maybe that's part of the reason why they're
- 49:11Speaker 1: taking some money here. The home opener is usually a
- 49:13Speaker 1: pretty motivated spot. They don't have a big game up next.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Arizona does have to turn around and play Seattle in
- 49:19Speaker 1: a couple of days, but they're not going to overlook
- 49:21Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, so it doesn't really matter that
- 49:22Speaker 1: Arizona does have that Thursday night game coming out. It's
- 49:26Speaker 1: gonna be a difficult spot for Arizona, to be honest,
- 49:28Speaker 1: after the San Francisco game, having to turn around and
- 49:31Speaker 1: play again after this big game. I might look to
- 49:33Speaker 1: fade Arizona next on Thursday, but for now, yeah, I
- 49:38Speaker 1: guess I'll slightly lean at the market here to the
- 49:40Speaker 1: forty nine ers, but I really don't love it. I
- 49:42Speaker 1: don't have a good gauge in that game at all.
- 49:44Speaker 1: The Sunday night game is Chiefs Giants. I know, doesn't
- 49:49Speaker 1: sound like a very enticing matchup. Really, both teams are
- 49:52Speaker 1: owing to How about that man, the Chiefs are owing to.
- 49:56Speaker 1: I told you, I like they're under a season win
- 49:59Speaker 1: to a little. I said, Chiefs under, forty nine ers
- 50:02Speaker 1: over and although the forty nine ers are dealing with
- 50:05Speaker 1: injuries right now, so I matter have to be worried
- 50:06Speaker 1: about that, and I said Redskins under. So we'll see
- 50:10Speaker 1: what happens with those season win totals. Those are my
- 50:12Speaker 1: top three that I gave out on the season win
- 50:15Speaker 1: total special Chiefs are rowing too, but there's still a
- 50:17Speaker 1: six point favor here, so the books have no respect
- 50:21Speaker 1: for the Giants at all. Chiefs are down from six
- 50:23Speaker 1: and a half to six here, but eighty percent tickets
- 50:26Speaker 1: eighty eight percent of the cash coming in, so it
- 50:27Speaker 1: looks like the money is kind of actually coming in
- 50:30Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, even though they're also public, maybe the
- 50:32Speaker 1: professional money somewhat kind of agreeing with the Chiefs here.
- 50:36Speaker 1: I mean usually primetime, I mean the classic thing to
- 50:40Speaker 1: do in primetime. You want to go with the home underdog, right,
- 50:43Speaker 1: But that was the thing for years and years and years,
- 50:45Speaker 1: primetime home underdog, The home underdog, you know, steps up
- 50:48Speaker 1: their game. For the public's always on the favorite. The
- 50:50Speaker 1: home underdog steps up their game. They're being undervalued, but
- 50:54Speaker 1: the books have adjusted for that. They know that that's
- 50:57Speaker 1: the case. The books are not giving you live value
- 51:00Speaker 1: that much on the home underdog anymore. In cases like this,
- 51:02Speaker 1: maybe in this game, maybe you still are getting a
- 51:05Speaker 1: little bit alive out here because it is still the Chiefs.
- 51:08Speaker 1: It's still Patrick Mahomes. Man, this is a difficult handicap
- 51:13Speaker 1: man for me. You gotta think the Chiefs are gonna
- 51:15Speaker 1: be pissed. But they're coming off two big games. They
- 51:17Speaker 1: had to play in Brazil against the Chargers, lost that game.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Then they had Super Bowl revenge last week and they
- 51:24Speaker 1: failed to get it done against Philly. Worthy is still out,
- 51:27Speaker 1: which is great because he's on my fantasy team. Fuck you,
- 51:30Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. I do have Rashie Rice, though, so I
- 51:34Speaker 1: mean I might just maybe I should just cut Worthy
- 51:36Speaker 1: at this point, man. I mean, I don't even know.
- 51:39Speaker 1: I don't know if he's coming back before that, it
- 51:43Speaker 1: was a dislocated shoulder. I think it was a labrum
- 51:46Speaker 1: tier I thought is what it was. And he was like,
- 51:48Speaker 1: now I'll just play with like my arm in a sling.
- 51:50Speaker 1: I'm like, how the fuck can you do that as
- 51:52Speaker 1: a wide receiver, Like, you're not gonna be able to
- 51:54Speaker 1: catch any throws. You're gonna be an obvious decoy. It
- 51:56Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense anyway. The Chiefs are coming off
- 51:59Speaker 1: a bit game, They're banged up on offense. Yeah, they
- 52:03Speaker 1: are coming up that big game against Phillies, Super Bowl revenge.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Couldn't get it done. Now this is also their first
- 52:08Speaker 1: road game and they're having to go to a place
- 52:11Speaker 1: they don't usually play. It's one of those out of
- 52:13Speaker 1: conference road games. Man. And who do they play next?
- 52:16Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens, one of the top teams in the AFC.
- 52:19Speaker 1: So that's a big game up next. So it's a
- 52:22Speaker 1: little bit iffy, man. It's an iffy spot in the
- 52:24Speaker 1: schedule here. And if the Chiefs weren't zero two, I'd
- 52:27Speaker 1: probably be like, yeah, I mean, this is a major sandwich,
- 52:31Speaker 1: but I'd probably give up a play in the Giants
- 52:32Speaker 1: to be honest. But a couple of hesitations. The Chiefs
- 52:36Speaker 1: kind of need to show up and win, But the
- 52:38Speaker 1: public is gonna be saying that too. The public's gonna
- 52:40Speaker 1: be saying, there's no way the Chiefs can start this
- 52:42Speaker 1: series this season zero to three, right, There's no way
- 52:45Speaker 1: that could possibly happen. So the public is gonna be
- 52:47Speaker 1: saying that. I probably still need to the Giants slightly
- 52:51Speaker 1: in this one, but the Giants are coming up a
- 52:53Speaker 1: big game of their own. Man. They did play two
- 52:55Speaker 1: big divisional games already too, and they had that barn burner,
- 52:58Speaker 1: like I said, against Dallas, back and forth, they almost
- 53:00Speaker 1: beat Dallas, crazy game. This is a big game as well.
- 53:04Speaker 1: I understand Chiefs coming in into your place Sunday night.
- 53:08Speaker 1: You're not gonna overlook them. But still a little bit
- 53:10Speaker 1: of a difficult spot for the Giants. But it is
- 53:12Speaker 1: also their home opener, so things are gonna be a
- 53:14Speaker 1: little bit crazier there. But you know, Russell Wilson is
- 53:16Speaker 1: not gonna do what he did last week against Dallas.
- 53:20Speaker 1: I mean, bad, bad pass defense. Kansas City's defense is
- 53:23Speaker 1: a lot better than Dallas, so there's no way Russell
- 53:26Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna return to looking like an old like terrible quarterback. Again,
- 53:30Speaker 1: I would have to imagine in this game, but I
- 53:33Speaker 1: don't think either team is gonna be able to put
- 53:35Speaker 1: up a lot of points here. Man, the total UH
- 53:37Speaker 1: should be low. It's fairly low at forty four and
- 53:40Speaker 1: a half. It's gone up a little bit, seventy six
- 53:41Speaker 1: percent of tickets on the over eighty four percent of
- 53:43Speaker 1: the cash in the over. I kind of see it
- 53:45Speaker 1: being an ugly game though. Man and the Chiefs they
- 53:47Speaker 1: don't have a lot of weapons on offense right now.
- 53:49Speaker 1: They're banged up on offense. Both defenses are the better
- 53:53Speaker 1: units here. Both teams have better defenses than offenses. So
- 53:56Speaker 1: I don't really see that. I think in under maybe
- 53:59Speaker 1: it's worth a look there. And if it's low scoring,
- 54:01Speaker 1: it means the points are worth more. So I would
- 54:04Speaker 1: probably still fade the public there and lead to the Giants.
- 54:06Speaker 1: But I really don't love it. Travis Kelcey proposed the
- 54:11Speaker 1: script writers. Yeah, they're figuring out what to do, right,
- 54:14Speaker 1: so what is this now? Travis Kelcey is like the
- 54:18Speaker 1: I mean, what is he now? If the Chiefs have
- 54:20Speaker 1: a bad season this year, it's like the it turns
- 54:22Speaker 1: into like a tragedy like a Romeo and Juliet situation.
- 54:28Speaker 1: I don't know, man. And then Monday night we have
- 54:30Speaker 1: Lions Ravens a pretty big matchup on Monday Night. It
- 54:33Speaker 1: is a and NFC versus AFC matchup, so an out
- 54:38Speaker 1: of conference game here, out of conference road game for
- 54:40Speaker 1: the Lions. Now and this is actually the highest total
- 54:44Speaker 1: of the week. This one's up from fifty and a
- 54:45Speaker 1: half to fifty two and a half. And it makes sense.
- 54:47Speaker 1: I mean, the Lions are Ravens. They're probably the two
- 54:50Speaker 1: best offenses in the NFL. I mean they're crazy good,
- 54:53Speaker 1: especially the Ravens. The Ravens offense is insane. Ravens are
- 54:57Speaker 1: probably the best team in the NFL. They're power rated
- 54:59Speaker 1: as the best team in the NFL by the power
- 55:02Speaker 1: ratings of the odds makers are using it. A lot
- 55:03Speaker 1: of the handicappers use Ravens. I thought they were the
- 55:06Speaker 1: best team last year. I thought they should have won
- 55:08Speaker 1: that game against Buffalo. Uh. The defense needs a little
- 55:11Speaker 1: bit of work, though maybe on both these teams. The
- 55:14Speaker 1: Ravens defense has looked a little bit holy. And I
- 55:17Speaker 1: don't mean like god like, I mean they have holes
- 55:19Speaker 1: in their defense. Then they got to shore up a
- 55:22Speaker 1: bit man, because you always think of the Ravens as
- 55:24Speaker 1: like this, like punishing defense, right, like it was with
- 55:28Speaker 1: like Ray Ray Lewis back in the old day, the
- 55:31Speaker 1: old days there when they won that Super Bowl with
- 55:34Speaker 1: that elite defense they had in like two thousand or whatever.
- 55:37Speaker 1: But that's not the case anymore. The Ravens are crazy
- 55:39Speaker 1: offense team. Now. They should be good on both sides
- 55:42Speaker 1: of the ball, but their offense is better than their defense.
- 55:47Speaker 1: Would I play it over in this game? Though probably not.
- 55:49Speaker 1: That's up through that key number of fifty one to
- 55:51Speaker 1: fifty and a half ninety tickets, ninety four percent of
- 55:54Speaker 1: the cash people saw the Ravens put up forty plus
- 55:57Speaker 1: boys in two games already and then put up a
- 56:00Speaker 1: fifty something last week, So everybody's gonna play the over here.
- 56:04Speaker 1: So it looks like it's a contrarian move to play
- 56:06Speaker 1: the under in this one, and it might happen. I mean,
- 56:08Speaker 1: it's a playoff style of game here, right, and that
- 56:12Speaker 1: might be what happens in this game, although it is
- 56:14Speaker 1: a situation where the teams aren't that familiar with each other,
- 56:16Speaker 1: so maybe the defenses won't be able to game plan
- 56:21Speaker 1: as well, but still, I mean, yeah, I mean I
- 56:24Speaker 1: would probably lean to an under in this one too.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Is as insane as it sounds. Now, my first instinct
- 56:29Speaker 1: on the side was, oh, you have two really good
- 56:31Speaker 1: teams and the Ravens are six and a half way favorite,
- 56:33Speaker 1: which looks really, really high, right, So I was thinking
- 56:37Speaker 1: that means you want to lay the points of the Ravens.
- 56:39Speaker 1: I was expecting the Lions to be one of those
- 56:41Speaker 1: public underdogs where we have two good teams and the
- 56:44Speaker 1: line just looks to the public perception, it just looks
- 56:47Speaker 1: too high, and they come in on the underdog. I
- 56:49Speaker 1: thought that was gonna happen here, and it is not.
- 56:51Speaker 1: Sixty two percent of tickets are on the Ravens and
- 56:53Speaker 1: only fifty three percent of the cash, so the public
- 56:56Speaker 1: they want the Ravens. For whatever reason. Both these teams
- 56:59Speaker 1: are one. Everybody knows both these teams are good. So
- 57:04Speaker 1: I guess for now at least, I mean, I'll talk
- 57:06Speaker 1: about it again on Monday, but for now, I guess
- 57:08Speaker 1: I have to lead to Detroit. But man, it doesn't
- 57:10Speaker 1: seem that great. Both teams are coming off blowout wins
- 57:13Speaker 1: against the fearor Division opponents. So that's not really it's
- 57:17Speaker 1: not an advantage one way or the other. But I
- 57:19Speaker 1: thought Detroit having to go to an unfamiliar venue in Baltimore,
- 57:22Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking the spot was a little
- 57:25Speaker 1: bit better for Baltimore. So I don't know, man, We'll
- 57:27Speaker 1: see what the market does. But sometimes when I don't
- 57:29Speaker 1: have a good gauge on the game, I'll lean towards, uh,
- 57:34Speaker 1: just what the market is saying. It looks like the
- 57:37Speaker 1: Ravens have a couple of guys ruled out, possibly on
- 57:39Speaker 1: their defense. I don't even know van Ney is one
- 57:41Speaker 1: of them, and Matt Abookie I don't even know who
- 57:44Speaker 1: that is. But Ravens look like they have a couple
- 57:47Speaker 1: of injuries to deal with there. Yeah, I mean that's
- 57:50Speaker 1: a difficult game to handicap to them, man, So we'll
- 57:52Speaker 1: see what happens. I'm still surprised the Ravens of the
- 57:54Speaker 1: public side, though usually you get a public underdog when
- 57:57Speaker 1: it's a setup like that. Let's go to best bets, man,
- 58:00Speaker 1: we were ready for this. You guys are gonna hate
- 58:02Speaker 1: every single one of these, which I always say, and
- 58:06Speaker 1: I know we were bad last week. I think we
- 58:08Speaker 1: were owned three, right, It was kind of bullshit, to
- 58:10Speaker 1: be honest. NFL has not started off good. I know.
- 58:13Speaker 1: I think was it Owen three last week? Was it
- 58:16Speaker 1: really was a one and two? I don't even remember.
- 58:18Speaker 1: I think it was own three. It was just brutal, man,
- 58:21Speaker 1: fucking brutal. I think on one and five to start
- 58:24Speaker 1: the NFL season, just brutal. We gotta get a going, men,
- 58:27Speaker 1: So let's let's play some oh and two underdogs. How
- 58:29Speaker 1: about that? I think all three of these are own
- 58:31Speaker 1: two underdogs. You're gonna absolutely hate them. Think about the
- 58:34Speaker 1: ugliest underdogs that are on the board. You know what
- 58:36Speaker 1: games these are already. Literally it's gonna be the three
- 58:39Speaker 1: ugliest underdogs I think on the entire board. And the
- 58:41Speaker 1: first one is, of course, the Cleveland Browns plus seven
- 58:44Speaker 1: and a half. That's what we're going with. They're at home.
- 58:46Speaker 1: It's a home underdog with the Cleveland Browns. Man, this
- 58:49Speaker 1: is a fade of the Packers. They're very public. They're
- 58:52Speaker 1: up from seven to seven and a half. Eighty eight
- 58:54Speaker 1: percent of tickets, eighty eight percent of the cash. Public
- 58:57Speaker 1: is only gonna want to play the Packers. They've seen
- 58:59Speaker 1: what they've done so far. They've looked awesome, but I
- 59:01Speaker 1: think this is a spot where the Packers might just
- 59:03Speaker 1: look right past the Browns and the total is really low,
- 59:07Speaker 1: down from forty three to forty one. I think it's
- 59:09Speaker 1: the lowest total on the entire board. Seventy one percent
- 59:12Speaker 1: of the cash on the over in this one, So
- 59:14Speaker 1: the public just thinking, oh, the Packers could score Jordan
- 59:17Speaker 1: love whatever. I'm not going to agree with that fifty
- 59:20Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the under. I agree with
- 59:22Speaker 1: the under as well, but the totals dropped a little bit.
- 59:24Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an ugly game, man. Both
- 59:27Speaker 1: teams can play pretty solid deep manse man, and the
- 59:30Speaker 1: Browns offense is certainly not good, although I think it
- 59:33Speaker 1: gets into this lower scoring game. Of course, that's a
- 59:35Speaker 1: big spread to be laying as a road team, man,
- 59:39Speaker 1: especially with a total dis low. Every point is worth
- 59:43Speaker 1: more man in a case like that, So I think
- 59:44Speaker 1: we're getting a lot of value here if you look
- 59:46Speaker 1: at the look aheadline. Actually I thought it was a
- 59:49Speaker 1: little bit less than that. It was about the same
- 59:51Speaker 1: as Packers seven. But let's see what are the Packers
- 59:54Speaker 1: done so far? Man? I mean, people have seen what
- 59:56Speaker 1: they've done so far, They've looked excellent so far. They've
- 59:59Speaker 1: won two big already against Detroit, huge divisional game. They
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: lost both games to Detroit last year they beat them.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: That was a big win for them against Detroit Man
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: and then they followed it up beating Washing Dude. You know,
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: this upstart team was really good. Made the playoffs last year,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: made it further in the playoffs than green Bay did
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: last year. And that was on a Thursday night, So
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: everybody saw that. And now I know green Bay has
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: extra time off to prepare for this game. But when
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: you're winning like this and you're doing really well, you're
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: coming off a big win like that, what do you
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: do during that extra time off, like to prepare, Like,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: what do you have to change? You don't have anything
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: to change, So I don't think that's that helpful having
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: the extra time off. I they can kind of disrupt
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: your momentum a little bit. They have to go on
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: the road for the first time this season. It's an
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: out of conference game, which I always keep saying that
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: type of spot on the schedule is the spot that
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: means the lease to you, and it's the least familiar
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: to you. You don't go to Cleveland very often if you're
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: Green Bay. And again, what do they have up next?
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: The Michael Parsons Bowl. Michael Parrison's gonna They're gonna have
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: to face Dallas, so that is a big game after this.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: So again I think they might look right past the
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: Browns here and the Browns they're still looking for a
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: win at home. They did play well against Cincinnati and
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: we won. The Browns deepfense showed up, and last week
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: they were playing well for a while last week before
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: the game kind of just got totally out of hand.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: I mean, the game was twenty to ten going into
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, so they lost forty one to seventeen.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: But the game just totally unraveled. There was a punt
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: return touchdown at the end of the game, you know,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: I mean, it was just the game totally unraveled for Cleveland.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: It was close up until then. I gave out Cleveland
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: as a lean. I thought it was a decent lean.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: It was one of my pick fives last week too.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: It wasn't one of my plays, but it was brutal
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: last week for me. Man. But that game was a
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: lot It was actually a lot closer on the score,
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: butther than the final score. Wound up being and if
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: we look at the yardage, Cleveland outgained Baltimore in the game. Dude.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: They held Baltimore to two hundred and forty two total yards.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: Cleveland was minus two in offense. Nobody would ever think
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: that a team that lost forty one to seventeen actually
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: won the yardage battle, won the first down yardage and
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: at the time of possession edge. So I think Cleveland
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: to cover that number was absolutely the right lean in
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: that game. Man. It's just ridiculous what happened in that game.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: So Cleveland's defense was actually not bad. In that game.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: The defense was not the problem. So this Cleveland defense,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: they're not that bad. I think they can hold up here. Man.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: So you get what I think is gonna be a
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: defensive game here, two pretty strong defenses. Yeah, I think
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: we're gonna go with it. We don't know who Cleveland's
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: a quarterback is gonna because Joe Flacco hasn't really been
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: getting it done. Is he gonna It looks like he's
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: gonna start the game. I guess still he hasn't been good.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: But Cleveland's rushing attack has been okay with Judkins is
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: now they're number one Sampson's been in the mix a lot,
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: been doing pretty well forward. I mean, they have some
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: decent offensive talent there. Still. Dylan Gabriel came into the
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: game late in the game. He did throw a touchdown
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: late in the game. It was a garbage time. Maybe
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: he'll see some action in this game. I mean, we'll
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: see what happens with that. It was still will be lacko.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: But I don't think it matters which quarterback starts for
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: Cleveland here. Man, It's not gonna affect the line very much.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: It's not really gonna matter. Ugly, ugly underdogs. Man, that's
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: the name of the game. We're going with the Browns.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Next up, we're gonna go with the New York Jets
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: plus six and a half. I know we're not. I
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna get the seven on this I
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: don't think it was ever out there, But this is
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: the game that was the biggest look ahead disparity. The
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: look I had on this game was where we looking Buccaneers?
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Where are It was Buccaneers minus five and now we're
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: six and a half. Maybe it wasn't the largest disparity,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: but I think from preseason, I think it was I
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: think before the season started, I think the Buccaneers were
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: only two and a half way favorite of this game.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Now they're up to six and a half. We do
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: see eighty five percent of tickets eighty seven percent of
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: the cash coming in on them, so the money slightly
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: looks like it's on Tampa for now, but I doubt
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: that's gonna be the case come game time. It's possible
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: that some professional betters are even actually just tossing a
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: little bit of money on the Bucks just to try
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: to maybe get that key number seven. There's no reason
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: to play it now. I mean, if you want to
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: wait until tomorrow and see if you get the seven,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: you could do that, because obviously the seven is the
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: key number. You want to get those seven if you can.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: And again if the if the line winds up moving
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: to six, that's not really a big deal. Six to
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: six and a half is not that much of a difference.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: But I'm gonna recommend a playing the Jets. I think
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: this is a bad spot for the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: has some injuries to deal with. Two men I think
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: three of their offensive linemen are out. They're missing three
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: of their wide receivers, Baker Mayfield, I think is actually
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: playing injured. So there is a lot going on here
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: with Tampa that isn't that great that the public might
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: be just totally unaware of it. Tampa's coming off two
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: big wins so far. Yes, this is gonna be their
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: home opener. I get it. They played two games on
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: the road, but these are big games. They started the
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: season with a divisional game against Atlanta and then they
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: followed it up playing Monday night against Houston, So they're
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: on a short week here, haven't played a Monday night
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: after a divisional game, and they should have lost both games. Man,
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: they were losing both of these games in the final
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: minutes of the game. They wound up pulling a win
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: out of their ass in both games. They easily could
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: have lost both games. Atlanta outgained them, I think fairly
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: significantly in the first game two, which I gave out
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Atlanta as a leen. It wasn't one of my players.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: I'd be pissed. Atlanta outgained in by almost one hundred
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: yards in that game, so Atlanta probably should have won
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: that one. And then last week, I don't know what
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: the the deal was. Let me see Tampa Bay last
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: week against Houston. But Houston's also a pretty good deep bet,
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: so sometimes you play good deep bets like that, you're
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit beat up coming into the
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: next game as well. In this game, let me see
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: what happened. Tampa probably did win the ardebound this one.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: They did. They won the orange battle this one, but
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: they were still losing the game right at the end,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: although they did win the statistical matchup in that game.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: But still quick turnaround time. They got to play the Jets,
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: and then who do they play next? By the way,
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: they played the Philadelphia Eagles, they returning Super Bowl champs
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: the following week, So I think it's a big look.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: I had the man as well, so I think it's
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: a bit of a sandwich spot. You're coming off a
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: short week, playing in prime time, and then you got
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: the Eagles up next. I don't think they're gonna pay
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: that much attention to a Jets team that's zero and two,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: that really hasn't looked that good. Although the Jets did
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: play well in that first game against Pittsburgh, they outgained them,
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: they had the lead most of that game, they blew
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: it right at the end. That was one of my plays,
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: my only winning play I think so far, and the
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: Jets almost blew that cover. They wound up not winning
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: out right. And then the Jets just got handled by
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Buffalo last week and that was another one of my plays.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: So I'm on the Jets all three. Holy shit, this
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: is like last year all over again, where the Jets
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: kept losing for me, although actually this year they're one
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: and zero. They're one and one for me this year.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: But we'll see. I've played the Jets both weeks. I'm
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: playing them three weeks in a row. How about that.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: I just think that there's value to be had there.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: And the Jets. Remember what happened in this game. Man,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: Justin Fields went down with a concussion in that game.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: He's not gonna play now in this game. So it's
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: an injured player spot for the Jets as well. So
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: we have not only is a sandwich spot for Tampa Bay,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: but it's an player spot on the side of the Jets.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: And you know, I keep saying, when you're star quarter
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: or well at least your starting quarterback, I don't know
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: if he's a star. When he goes down, the team
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: usually gets up and gets ready to go. Man, they
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: usually usually get a little bit of live value because
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: of it, and the team usually focuses and does better.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe because of the Justin Field's injury, maybe
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why the line moved a
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: little bit on Tampa Bay. But I just don't think
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: there's not much of a downgrade there. Man. Other Jets
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: backup quarterback is Tyrod Taylor. He's gonna be the starter
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: in this game. So yes, the injured player theory is
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: in effect here. The team will still play better for him.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: We're getting a little bit of extra live value because
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: of him. I'm not even sure that Taylor is really
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: a downgrade man Justin Fields. I don't think he's that bad.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: He could do some things with his legs or whatever.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: But sokn Tyrod Taylor. You know, he's a little bit
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: older now. Taylor has been around for a long time.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: It's a very experienced quarterback. He's been on multiple different teams.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: And I don't know what else to say, man, but
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: Taylor's as a quarterback, it seems like whenever he goes
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: in there, he's always a backup somewhere, and he always
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: gets in because everybody's always getting injured. He always gets in.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: He tends to surprise, at least in that first game
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: the team. Just a lot of these opponents just don't
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: game plan correctly for him that first time. They don't
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: know what to expect out of him. So I think
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna maybe be able to take Tampa
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Bay by a little bit of surprise because of that.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: And we also have a pretty low total in this
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: game too, and a lot of money coming in on
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: the under extet from forty four and a half to
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: forty three, seventy and a half percent of tickets on
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: the over, seventy two percent of the cash on the under.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: And again you're getting a lot of points with an
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: underdog here in a game that's supposed to be low
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: scoring with money coming in on the under. So I
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: like that too because it means there's more value in
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: playing the underdog there. So I told you guys, you're
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: gonna hate all this. I'm kept getting crickets in the chat.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is. This is what
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: you want to do the man in the NFL. It's
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: how you find value. And then another ugly underdog to
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: finish it off. How about the Carolina pant there's plus five.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: This is again see Atlanta Falcons. I know the Falcons
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: went in and beat the Panthers. I think I gave
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: out the Panthers as a play in this matchup at
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: Carolina last year and the Falcons handled them. But I
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: think this is a spot to do it. Man. The
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: Falcons are up from two and a half to four
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: and a half here, So the line has moved on
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: the Falcons, and I don't think there's any justification for that,
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: to be honest. The look at it in this one
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: was the two and a half, so I think that
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: was the look at There are no real injuries to
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: be aware of here they would cause that line to
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: move like that, Like, why has it moved like that
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: just based on what we've seen these teams do so far?
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're definitely getting value on the Panthers, man,
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: So the line has moved unjustifiably. There's no reason for it.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Eighty percent of ticket, sixty nine percent of the cash
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: on the Falcons. They are really public with less of
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: the cash. And again, the only reason the line has
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: moved like that, I think is because of just what
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: we've seen out of these teams in the first two weeks,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: especially because Carolina doesn't look good Atlanta, Yes, they shouldn't
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: want against Tampa Bay in Week one, they played well
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: and then people saw them play well again Sunday night
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: in primetime. But that was a big game, remember, Man, Atlanta.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: That was the That was the College Football Championship revenge
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: game for Michael Pennix. That was Pennix against JJ McCarthy.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: And I know McCarthy went out of the game with
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: an injury, but that was a huge win for Michael Penix. Man,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: so big win for Atlanta was on primetime. Everybody saw
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: Atlanta do that. They looked pretty good in primetime. The
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: public is gonna only want the Falcons in this game.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: As it's a shortened week. It's a little bit of
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: a letdown spot for the Falcons, and they do have
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: a bigger game up next as well against Washington. Who
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: is gonna draw your focus more, I think because it's
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: you know, Jaydon Daniels, assuming he's gonna come back next week.
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: That's a much bigger game as well. Man Atlanta has
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: pretty much owned the series with with Carolina recently, I think,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: so they might overlook Carolina quite a bit in this game.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: Man Carolina has not really given anybody much hope of
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: doing anything so far. But the Jacksonville game, I mean
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: that just the game unraveled. Carolina had a lot of
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: turnovers in the game, so that was part of the
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: reason why they lost like that. Last week they actually
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: played better, as I showed you against Arizona. They actually
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: outgained Arizona and they did not cave in when they
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: were losing twenty seven to three. They came all the
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: way back and almost won the game. So that was
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: a big improvement over their Week one game. So Carolina
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: is trending in the right direction and this is a
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: big game for them, bigger than it is for Atlanta.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: This is the home opener for Carolina too, ma'am, and
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: I silly Carolina. At least their offense is improving with
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: all this young talent that they have on the offense.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: Their defense is a problem for sure, but the offense
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: I think is ready to go. This total is actually
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: fairly low as well, at forty four seventy tickets eighty
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: eight percent of cash on the over, though, I mean,
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: I could definitely see some arguments for an over in
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: this one, because the Panthers defense is really not good
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: and their offense might be able to put up some
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: points in this one, but I just like the side
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: man and Atlanta, by the way, they did just fire
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: or cut yungwaikup for not talking about Charlie Kirk or
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: that just he hasn't been good. He hasn't been a
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: good kicker, man, He's He basically blew the potential tie
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: at the end of that first week game where Atlanta
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: again they had the lead against Tampa Bay really late
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: in the game, Tampa Bay scored to take the lead back,
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: and then Atlanta quickly drove into field goal range again
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: in a dome and Coopho's been good for them for
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: years at this point blew that it was a forty
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: four yard field goal, makeable field goal and a dome
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: try to tie the game. He blew it. And then
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: he I guess must have not kicked well last week either,
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: because they got rid of him. So apparently the new
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: kicker is Romo. I don't know who the hell that is.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: It's Tony Romo, No, I have no idea who it is.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: But the Falcons will see if their kicker might struggle
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: a little bit. Is that's something to just be aware of.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: I guess that maybe Atlanta's kicking situation might have some
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: issues potentially, we'll see, but that's gonna do it. Man.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: That's the entire board there. Once again, the plays are
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: the ugliest plays imaginable. So enjoy the Cleveland Browns plus
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: seven and a half, the New York Jets plus six
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: and a half, and Carolina Panthers plus five. Don't you
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: love it? Like? Like John Gruden says, do you like it?
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Or do you love it? And that's what we're going with.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: A thanker, Charles, you're betting on the Jets. Let's hope
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: for it, man, I hope it happens. I think the
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: Jets might be the strongest of the three actually because
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: it has that extra injured player component to it. The
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: kicker is a pretty solid job, man, Like you don't
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: you basically don't get I mean you don't get hit,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: uh and you don't have to be used that much,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: but you do have pressure on you when the moment
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: is right, you got pressure on you. Read heart. It
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: is our resident Tampa Bay fan. He doesn't like this play,
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: but hey man, Tampa can win and not cover, right,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: so you could get that. Although I don't want Tampa
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: to win because I don't like them. That's why he
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: hates me for that. But I'm gonna roof for the
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: Jets all the way baby looks every week, I'm gonna
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: root for the Jets. How about that once again? If
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: if it happens, it happens. Man, we'll see what happens.
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: There's there's the shirt for you. Man, take this shots,
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: but we'll get the screen shots later. The video will
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: be up. You'll take that. Uh, see the Jets what
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: you want? You want? My biceps they're weak, man, I
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: don't have much of a by step. I can't do
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: shit with my biceps. The left one's even worse. Probably,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: I don't know, not much going on with that. I
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: can't really flex either. I gotta use the weights behind
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: me even more. I'm using them a little bit. That's
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: gonna do it, man. Hopefully we get some wins here.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Learn to tone on Twitter, of course, learn to tone
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: on Instagram. Late night again, not as late as last
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: last night. The college football show goes forever. The NFL

- 1:14:41Speaker 1: Like subscribe to the channel. Tell everybody about it. Hopefully
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: people like it. I know it's very long winded. I
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: want to get some wins. Today was a good day, man,
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: run a nice little run the last few days. So
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: let's keep it going and uh yeah, winning at least
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: three of the last four days at this point. We
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: won today was a pretty substantial win. Five and two.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: So and it should have been better than that. Fucking Miami, Ohio, man,
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: and even Florida could have could have come through. It
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: could have been a seven and zero sweep of the board.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: It was not that far off from being that. But yeah,
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: better off dead. Also, on the audio, you can review,
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: give me a good review as I'm belching of course

- 1:15:23Speaker 1: give me a good review on Apple, Spotify, whatever, both
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: and those are monetized to anybody listening over there. It helps,

- 1:15:42Speaker 1: So more protein. I do eat, like high percentage of
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: my diet is protein. I eat mean and eggs, man,
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: That's what I do. Had a lot today too, Panthers
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: browns and Jets. That's right, It's how you got to
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: attack the NFL. Man, It's never too long. Will thank you?
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: What do you mean Florida sucked? Florida was within six
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: points with four minutes left in that game. They were
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: down thirteen to seven with four minutes left. They I mean,
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they should have covered, but they
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: definitely could have covered in that game. It was I
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: told you their defense would at least hold Miami's offense
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: down a bit. Like if you told me Miami was
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: gonna score twenty six in the game where that Miami
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: was gonna have thirteen points with four minutes left in
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: the game, then hell yeah, Florida plus seven and a half.
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't expect Florida to just not even
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: get on the board like at all. Basically, that was
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: not what I expected. Let's get some NFL wins, man.
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: I'll see you guys tomorrow because I gotta get MLB.
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: We gotta talk about Major League Baseball in the morning.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: We have WNBA playoffs rezooming tomorrow. WNBA was off today,
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: but they are gonna be playoffs, playoffs, the semi finals.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: I believe tomorrow we're already down to just the final four.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: I think in the WNBA it's real quick man, so
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: we'll see if I can find any angles there. East
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: for now
