Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20November 23rd, 2025 and well man, that was quite the debacle
- 0:28as yeah, wasn't really in doubt that it was not going to happen
- 0:33last night. So well, hats off to the
- 0:35Huskies. They gave it to Ukla Ukla and
- 0:40just, yeah, that's the way it goes.
- 0:43I guess so, all right, out of the college game into the pros,
- 0:47looking across this slate of games, coming off a loss.
- 0:50So you know what I want to do? I'm going to look down in the
- 0:54down at the bottom. I'm looking for a game between
- 0:56Timmy and Jimmy, right? I need 2 teams that suck.
- 1:01And man, we've got a couple doozies today.
- 1:04The one that I'm focusing on is the Browns and the Raiders,
- 1:08right? We got, we got Dion's kid
- 1:10getting his first start. Just kind of backed into the
- 1:13starting role there. Not that he's earned it, just
- 1:16kind of ended up there. And then, well, we got the
- 1:19Raiders, right? So I'm looking at this game.
- 1:22I have no idea. I mean, I'm am I gonna trust the
- 1:24Raiders? No.
- 1:26Am I gonna bet with the Browns? No.
- 1:28But this is what I'm thinking. I'm looking at both these teams.
- 1:31They ain't got nothing to lose. So I think they're gonna go out
- 1:33there and just fling the ball around, right?
- 1:36They're gonna try to win. They're gonna try to like just
- 1:40score. And so either they're gonna be
- 1:42successful or they're gonna suck at it, and the defense is going
- 1:46to take advantage of that and do some scoring on their own,
- 1:49right? So I'm looking at this total.
- 1:51It's a low total because these teams suck and nobody's
- 1:54expecting them to really score or do anything productive.
- 1:57So it's sitting at 35 1/2. That's just too low even for
- 2:00these two crappy teams. Look, every once in a while
- 2:02Timmy and Jimmy get lucky and they land a shot.
- 2:05And I think that's what's going to happen.
- 2:06So I'm going to take the over. So we're going over 35.5 total
- 2:11points between the Raiders and the Browns in today's NFL
- 2:15football action. To anything better than that,
- 2:17pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:19to it. Vinnie, give him what you got.
- 2:21Gaffer. Think you're back from your
- 2:22pancakes? Tell him what to do, boys.
- 2:25You it's called Vinnie. It's week 12 and I'm on an
- 2:29absolute heater. I'm going back-to-back to back
- 2:33weeks, looking to make it four in a row.
- 2:37That's right, because of Vinnie, it's starting to come into mid
- 2:39season form, baby. And you know, this season is
- 2:43just been trash for entertainment value.
- 2:46There's a lot of bad teams, there's a lot of bad football
- 2:48being played. There's a lot of injuries.
- 2:50Yeah, that happens every year. But this year is definitely
- 2:52worse. And looking at the slate of
- 2:54games today, there's only three watchable games.
- 2:57So I'm zeroing in on one game and that is the Tampa Bay LA
- 3:01Rams game. LA is, you know, one of the best
- 3:05teams in the league, consistently atop a lot of the
- 3:07power rankings. Take that for what you will and
- 3:11you got Tampa Bay, the kind of frisky coming in and getting 7
- 3:14points. And truth be told, Cousin Vinny
- 3:17has always been a sucker for Baker juice.
- 3:21I just kind of like the way he plays.
- 3:23He just wants to pop a Zim, take a couple smelling salts and go
- 3:27out there and lead a drive down the field. 2 minute drive.
- 3:30So that's my guy and I think he's going to play well tonight.
- 3:34He's going to be upright because LA has not gotten any
- 3:37quarterback pressure F late at all.
- 3:40In fact, two games back-to-back with no QB sacks and Tampa Bay's
- 3:45been having getting roughed up. I think they've lost 3 or 4 that
- 3:48they're they're still top of the FC S, but they definitely need
- 3:51to win the game and they are still putting a point in when
- 3:55they lose. So 32 points last week.
- 3:57I mean, they're not it's not for a shortage of offense.
- 4:01And in this primetime spotlight, I do think these teams are going
- 4:04to trade blows. And I do think the box are
- 4:06frisky, and I think Baker's frisky.
- 4:09And I think they're going to keep it close at least well
- 4:11within 7 points. And if you really want to get
- 4:14frisky, you can even put a little nugget on a little
- 4:18sprinkle on the plus 250 on the Bucks to win outright, which I
- 4:21wouldn't be surprised. But for my official pick, I'm
- 4:24going to take those seven points all day long and think that the
- 4:28very least, Tampa Bay's going to make a game out of this and it's
- 4:31going to be a tight one and they're going to be well within
- 4:347 points. So drink the Baker juice and
- 4:37take the bucks. Plus seven points going in LA
- 4:42and keeping it close against the ramps.
- 4:44So until work week 13, it's Cousin Vinny with your lock of
