- 1:29Speaker 1: I'm Chad Milman, Chief Content Officer the Action Network. It
- 1:32Speaker 1: is Thursday. I am joined by my co host, professional better,
- 1:38Speaker 1: BFF compadre, companion, compatriot, all the good stuff, Mr Simon Hunter,
- 1:46Speaker 1: my man club brother. We got a lot to do today.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We're gonna do sharp calls. We're gonna nail down our
- 1:52Speaker 1: final five or get close to it, money line parlay,
- 1:55Speaker 1: big balls better the week. I got a d am
- 2:00Speaker 1: someone making a very specific request for a big balls
- 2:03Speaker 1: sort of tweak, which actually liked. I'll challenge you on that.
- 2:06Speaker 1: He wanted to come in and tweak our big balls.
- 2:10Speaker 1: It's always well, so thank you. Our balls are available
- 2:13Speaker 1: for tweaking. I guess that's what Matt Mitchell was saying.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And we'll talk about survivor. You slacked me and Matt
- 2:21Speaker 1: Mitchell last night. You know you have talked all season
- 2:24Speaker 1: long about your making three or four big plays every
- 2:27Speaker 1: year and that you have settled on one for this week.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And so we're going to talk about that as well
- 2:34Speaker 1: before we do that. Before we do that, also, I
- 2:36Speaker 1: got to remind people we we asked you. We asked
- 2:39Speaker 1: for this. We asked you to give us hyper critical
- 2:44Speaker 1: five star reviews. Say anything you want to say in
- 2:47Speaker 1: the review, be as mean as you want, We can
- 2:50Speaker 1: take it, but it had to be five stars. You delivered.
- 2:52Speaker 1: So at the end of the show we will summarize
- 2:56Speaker 1: some of the meanest reviews. A lot of these I
- 2:58Speaker 1: mentioned on Tuesday will go towards Simon's your end review,
- 3:02Speaker 1: which you just learned he's going to get the winner.
- 3:04Speaker 1: The winner is gonna get some swag from Matt Mitchell,
- 3:07Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that at the end of the show. First,
- 3:10Speaker 1: let's get to some sharp calls sharpless Hello, who's there?
- 3:18Speaker 1: I'm talking. This is when we review from the Tuesday show.
- 3:30Speaker 1: The calls Simon was getting this week from professional betters
- 3:32Speaker 1: who were critiquing or supporting some of the some of
- 3:35Speaker 1: the picks and conversations and analysis that we had Simon
- 3:39Speaker 1: take it away. I would say I got a lot
- 3:41Speaker 1: of calls about the chargers, which again we'll touch on
- 3:43Speaker 1: a little bit. No surprise there it's a standalone game.
- 3:47Speaker 1: It's a dog, it's a home dog. So yeah, again
- 3:49Speaker 1: we'll dive into that one. The guys love Pittsburgh. We
- 3:52Speaker 1: talked about that. I kind of was a little scared.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of a public play this week.
- 3:56Speaker 1: But multiple pros I love Pittsburgh. Talked to multip pros.
- 4:00Speaker 1: They love the Eagles. That's another one we gave out.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I think we give about four four and a half. Yeah,
- 4:05Speaker 1: seeing sevens now, it was the same exact thing. I
- 4:07Speaker 1: kind of got the early word and we talked on
- 4:09Speaker 1: the show. There's a COVID outbreak there and we heard
- 4:11Speaker 1: it was a bunch of D linemen. It's kind of simple. Eagles,
- 4:14Speaker 1: they want to run the ball. Now, we have a
- 4:16Speaker 1: team that is out a bunch of starters on their
- 4:18Speaker 1: D line. So I would say that a lot of
- 4:21Speaker 1: money that came in heavy on the Eagles um professional money.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And that's what everyone was just calling me about. They
- 4:26Speaker 1: were just saying, like, are you able to get forward anywhere?
- 4:28Speaker 1: That's what we're pretty much looking for. A lot of
- 4:30Speaker 1: these calls are guys are looking for best lines and
- 4:31Speaker 1: they're seeing if I can make bets in Jersey for
- 4:33Speaker 1: him because New Jersey has kind of been I don't
- 4:37Speaker 1: want to say the best state of all the states
- 4:39Speaker 1: for sports, but it really is. We have twenty books,
- 4:42Speaker 1: all different lines, a lot of online books, not just
- 4:45Speaker 1: in person sports books. So I feel like I'm like
- 4:48Speaker 1: the main middleman now. I'm getting reached out to to
- 4:50Speaker 1: have my runners make bets for people, just because you
- 4:53Speaker 1: get a lot of better options here, especially in Vegas,
- 4:55Speaker 1: where you know, give or a take, there might be
- 4:58Speaker 1: six or seven books, and a lot of those books
- 5:00Speaker 1: just run the same lines and they might run you know,
- 5:02Speaker 1: minus one fifteen minus it adds up to vic. So
- 5:06Speaker 1: a lot of these pros are looking for minus one
- 5:07Speaker 1: oh five, just straight, you know, even pick so I
- 5:11Speaker 1: would say the Eagles one was a big one. I
- 5:13Speaker 1: got a lot of calls about. And then the Broncos.
- 5:14Speaker 1: We were on that one early. We gave it out
- 5:16Speaker 1: him minus one and a half. I think it's up
- 5:18Speaker 1: to three minus two and a half and a lot
- 5:19Speaker 1: of books, and I can still see it going up.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I've plenty of pros I've talked to that they're laying
- 5:24Speaker 1: into that. I want to know one pro that's one
- 5:25Speaker 1: of his bigger bets of the year. So not nothing's
- 5:28Speaker 1: changing that angle. Still have love for that. That Denver
- 5:31Speaker 1: Bronco was bet I would say the biggest pushback I got.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It's not that surprising. My cults love. I love the cults.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Still nothing's changed there. But I know a couple of pros.
- 5:42Speaker 1: They're coming in pretty heavy on that Patriots team. The
- 5:45Speaker 1: fact the line hasn't moved honestly makes me feeling better
- 5:48Speaker 1: about my Cults position. It's just sitting there two and
- 5:51Speaker 1: a half. Even though all this money keeps coming on
- 5:53Speaker 1: the Patriots I gave to everyone's gonna have them in teasers.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Everyone's teasing that update and a half. So the bookmakers,
- 5:58Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be on the right side. They're
- 6:00Speaker 1: gonna need the Colts come Saturday night. You're right about
- 6:02Speaker 1: the Broncos. That one is Steamen. It's at minus two
- 6:05Speaker 1: and a half at a bunch of books, but you're
- 6:07Speaker 1: gonna pay extra juice. Yeah, we saw that coming. Let's see.
- 6:11Speaker 1: So that's a two and a half. The Eagles are
- 6:14Speaker 1: at seven UM. The Steelers are at plus one and
- 6:18Speaker 1: a half right now. Uh so that's still a pretty
- 6:21Speaker 1: good number. So a good opportunity to get the Steelers.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Isn't under out there. Let's talk about the Charges in
- 6:26Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Normally, we're not going to spend a lot
- 6:28Speaker 1: of time. What's up at the gift? Oh my god,
- 6:33Speaker 1: Simon right now is holding up a signed Chicago Bears helmet.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Everybody knows I love the Bears. Everybody knows Simon loves
- 6:40Speaker 1: the Eagles. The truth is that the best quarterback on
- 6:44Speaker 1: the Bears might be Nick Foles, and Nick Foles, of course,
- 6:48Speaker 1: led the Eagles to a Super Bowl. Davac from the
- 6:50Speaker 1: Chicago Bears who loses the show sent me a signed
- 6:54Speaker 1: Bears helmet, signed by Nick Foles, knowing that Simon would
- 6:59Speaker 1: have to display it because of how much he loves
- 7:01Speaker 1: Ni falls. Truly an honor just to be in the
- 7:03Speaker 1: presence of that man's signature. It's an honor, amazing, totally amazing.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I love it. Well done. I thought it was I
- 7:11Speaker 1: thought it was an evil, genius move. No, that was
- 7:13Speaker 1: a great gift, great gift. Alright, So let's talk about
- 7:17Speaker 1: the Chargers and the Chiefs. You'd slacked me in that
- 7:19Speaker 1: Mitchell last night. Say, Chargers plus three and a half
- 7:22Speaker 1: is gonna be one of your biggest Bets of the year.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Ye gave that out, I would say I got done
- 7:27Speaker 1: the show. Um made a couple of phone calls because
- 7:29Speaker 1: I was just a little unsure with my Chargers love. Basically,
- 7:33Speaker 1: when I have when I have six points a difference
- 7:36Speaker 1: than the bookmakers, it's it's red alarms to myself being like,
- 7:40Speaker 1: what am I not seeing? I gotta make sure I'm
- 7:42Speaker 1: talking on the professionals making sure they're seen the same thing.
- 7:44Speaker 1: So when I make this line chargers minus three and
- 7:48Speaker 1: it's all way up to four, which is seven points
- 7:50Speaker 1: of difference. I tried to I played a cool in
- 7:52Speaker 1: the show, but it was definitely one of those that
- 7:54Speaker 1: was gonna be when I knew I was gonna be
- 7:55Speaker 1: one of my bigger bets UM of the week, maybe
- 7:58Speaker 1: of the season. So are basically reach out to a
- 8:00Speaker 1: couple of pros. They came in heavy as well with
- 8:04Speaker 1: me on this Chargers at number at the four number
- 8:07Speaker 1: and my clients. When I sent out to get approved,
- 8:10Speaker 1: I think I might have messaged you an hour afterwards,
- 8:13Speaker 1: and it already moved all the way down from four
- 8:15Speaker 1: to three. And my advice to you was, listen, these
- 8:18Speaker 1: guys are gonna bet this but now it's gonna be done,
- 8:20Speaker 1: so no one's gonna be touching this until Thursday night.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Let the public come in Thursday morning. They'll bet it
- 8:24Speaker 1: back up the three and a half. I told you
- 8:26Speaker 1: you'd be able to get a three and a half.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Sure enough, we're seeing three and half at bet MGM
- 8:29Speaker 1: seeing a three and a half of DraftKings. Nothing's changed.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I make this number what it is because I think
- 8:34Speaker 1: the Charges are a better team, and it's scary making
- 8:38Speaker 1: one of my bigger bets of the year, especially I'm
- 8:41Speaker 1: already three and one on my big bets. I really
- 8:43Speaker 1: don't honestly need this, but it's kind of one of
- 8:45Speaker 1: those where I just feel like the opportunity is too
- 8:47Speaker 1: good not to take. And if I can fish her
- 8:49Speaker 1: four and one on big bets, it's a great year.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Three and two like, that's a good year, But I
- 8:54Speaker 1: really want that four and one record. So when I'm
- 8:56Speaker 1: looking at I'm I'm trying to be patient when I
- 8:59Speaker 1: picked my spots, and in an island game like this
- 9:01Speaker 1: is it's kind of given me the same vibes as
- 9:03Speaker 1: I had with the Rams and the Cardinals. It's a
- 9:06Speaker 1: standalone game. The public's gonna come and really have you
- 9:09Speaker 1: on one side the professionals come on the other side.
- 9:12Speaker 1: But the money is gonna be so skewed towards this
- 9:14Speaker 1: Chiefs team. All money like parlay is everyone further weekends
- 9:17Speaker 1: being set up through this Chief's game. So just looking
- 9:20Speaker 1: at it, it was, Um, it's one of those where
- 9:23Speaker 1: I'm nervous because of all the COVID stuff. Like you
- 9:25Speaker 1: just talked about, this is a bad week to make
- 9:27Speaker 1: a big bet because it literally before game time all
- 9:30Speaker 1: of a sudden, three starters could be out for this
- 9:33Speaker 1: Car Dischargers team, and what am I gonna do? I
- 9:34Speaker 1: can't buy in my position, but I just think the
- 9:37Speaker 1: number is so good, especially at three and a half, which,
- 9:39Speaker 1: like we just talked about, it's back three and a
- 9:41Speaker 1: half that it's a big deal this game tonight. I
- 9:43Speaker 1: barely slept in it all last night. And uh, I
- 9:46Speaker 1: don't know. We have like some cocktail party tonight. I
- 9:48Speaker 1: might get drunk at it. We'll see. Oh, we have
- 9:50Speaker 1: a big cocktail party tonight, the Action Network cocktail and
- 9:55Speaker 1: karaoke event. It's gonna be really fun. I'm excited about it.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Ye picked out the song Little Wayne for karaoke. I
- 10:03Speaker 1: think the company is really gonna enjoy it. It's a
- 10:05Speaker 1: little Wayne. We'll put that in your year end review
- 10:08Speaker 1: as well. Um, what do you think like right now
- 10:12Speaker 1: in some places you can get the Chargers three and
- 10:14Speaker 1: a half minus one ten, some places you can only
- 10:17Speaker 1: get them three and a half with increased juice minus
- 10:20Speaker 1: one fifteen. Do you wait, like, do you think that
- 10:24Speaker 1: money is the bets are going to continue to come
- 10:26Speaker 1: in on the Chiefs and you're gonna get better juice
- 10:29Speaker 1: on this or what? What do you think? You do
- 10:31Speaker 1: believe it's nine percent of the money of all football
- 10:34Speaker 1: games is bet the hour before kickoff. So the public
- 10:38Speaker 1: I feel like they have coming on the Chiefs, but
- 10:39Speaker 1: this is this is the right This is really gonna
- 10:41Speaker 1: come in on them. So if if you still don't
- 10:44Speaker 1: have the three and a half of your book that
- 10:45Speaker 1: you use, I would just keep waiting. I don't really
- 10:47Speaker 1: buy points. If you get up the four and it's
- 10:49Speaker 1: minus minus one twenty, I would do that too, just
- 10:51Speaker 1: because I'm betting such a large amount of money. If
- 10:54Speaker 1: someone's following on that, I just I play safe as
- 10:56Speaker 1: I can. Obviously I have a little bit obviously bet
- 10:58Speaker 1: on the chart is money line and different things like that,
- 11:01Speaker 1: but as far as six figures go, that's just gonna
- 11:05Speaker 1: be on the spread. So looking at this, um, yeah,
- 11:08Speaker 1: if you can get minus one ten plus three and
- 11:10Speaker 1: a half, of course you jump on that. I mean
- 11:11Speaker 1: even minus one fifteen is not terrible. But the key
- 11:14Speaker 1: is the three and a half. Mathematically, it's very likely
- 11:16Speaker 1: to land on three or two. Shouldn't we be making
- 11:18Speaker 1: this one of our what is the line in our contest?
- 11:22Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't even matter if it was three
- 11:23Speaker 1: will be in there, So it's in there. Yeah, all right, yeah, buddy,
- 11:28Speaker 1: all right, So this is definitely one of our top five.
- 11:30Speaker 1: We're saying it now, Chargers plus whatever. Yeah. If you
- 11:34Speaker 1: feel that little pit in your stomach and you're just like,
- 11:36Speaker 1: I don't like this. I don't like that feeling, that's
- 11:38Speaker 1: why you make this bet. It's it's it's again again.
- 11:43Speaker 1: It's a pros line. It's everyone in the world is
- 11:45Speaker 1: gonna be on that Chief's number. Chiefs have one, what
- 11:47Speaker 1: six seven straight games, They've been covering big numbers. Please people,
- 11:52Speaker 1: it's rare. Why I think I'm getting six to seven
- 11:54Speaker 1: points of value on one side. I gotta tell you,
- 11:57Speaker 1: I'm just not bothered by it right now. Cool as
- 12:02Speaker 1: a cucumber. Cool as a cucumber. We've been seeing this
- 12:05Speaker 1: all year. The Chiefs are overvalued. Now the Chiefs are
- 12:08Speaker 1: coming off of a huge win. People are thinking the
- 12:11Speaker 1: Chiefs are back. Why wouldn't I take this island? Games
- 12:14Speaker 1: of the public are on. It's nice to fad, That's
- 12:17Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. I'm just gonna go for it, all right.
- 12:19Speaker 1: So another game that you love that we talked about
- 12:22Speaker 1: that you're getting a little put a little bit of
- 12:24Speaker 1: pushback on Colts minus two and a half. I love
- 12:27Speaker 1: the Colts here too. I did a little bit more
- 12:29Speaker 1: research after we had our conversation. Colts overall Russian game
- 12:33Speaker 1: number one in the NFL, number two in the NFL
- 12:36Speaker 1: behind the Eagles, yards per carry number one in the NFL.
- 12:40Speaker 1: The Patriots rushing defense bottom third. So yeah, and look
- 12:47Speaker 1: who they played. So you're talking about an offensive line
- 12:51Speaker 1: the Colts that is super healthy against a defensive line
- 12:54Speaker 1: in the Patriots that is overvalued because of who they've played.
- 12:57Speaker 1: This line opened at one, it's now up to two
- 12:59Speaker 1: and a half. Even though all the tickets are coming
- 13:01Speaker 1: in on the Patriots I'm struggling to see what the
- 13:05Speaker 1: wise guy buddies of yours are are seeing there. So
- 13:08Speaker 1: when I sent in my big bet on the Charges,
- 13:10Speaker 1: I also sending the Colts. I wanted to make that
- 13:12Speaker 1: one of big bets, and I got rejected, so immediately
- 13:14Speaker 1: I got for my own group. Again. It's I get
- 13:17Speaker 1: a lot of ship talk to me about my lack
- 13:19Speaker 1: of respect for the Patriots all the time by guys
- 13:21Speaker 1: I work with, and they're not even it's not like
- 13:23Speaker 1: they're Bostonians. They're just like, like, you don't get it
- 13:25Speaker 1: with Bill, you don't get it. And it's like, I
- 13:27Speaker 1: fucking get a guy like I get it. It's just
- 13:29Speaker 1: I'm trying to fade a rookie quarterback here and keeps
- 13:31Speaker 1: biting the ass because he's playing out of this world.
- 13:33Speaker 1: But like you just said, on paper, I believe the
- 13:36Speaker 1: Patriots give the most explosive runs all season. We've seen
- 13:39Speaker 1: it with this Colds team. Taylor's one of the most
- 13:42Speaker 1: explosive runners of all football. He believe he leads a
- 13:45Speaker 1: league and it's not the close of broken tackles and
- 13:47Speaker 1: yards after contact. That's the perfect setup for this Patriots team.
- 13:51Speaker 1: And again, Patriots have been great against the past and
- 13:53Speaker 1: the rush, like, but against the run, they leave big
- 13:56Speaker 1: holes up that middle because that that kind of style
- 13:58Speaker 1: where they're kind of coming off really heavy off. Yeah, So,
- 14:00Speaker 1: like you just touch on it. The running things the
- 14:02Speaker 1: big deal in me, and it's also a big deal
- 14:04Speaker 1: to me. I told you just going against Mac on
- 14:07Speaker 1: the road as a rookie, I'm getting under three points
- 14:10Speaker 1: with a home team here. The Browns werened us last
- 14:13Speaker 1: week with it that that was That's one of those
- 14:16Speaker 1: that we talked about why two and a half has
- 14:17Speaker 1: become so important. These miss extra points, little things like that.
- 14:21Speaker 1: It can't happen again. That's just we can't just let
- 14:24Speaker 1: that dictate it. I still think we're getting a good
- 14:26Speaker 1: number long it's under three. I still believe three is
- 14:28Speaker 1: a key number. So to me, two and a half
- 14:30Speaker 1: that's automatic play. I feel really strongly about this one.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I agree with you a uh. To me, there's no
- 14:36Speaker 1: way this doesn't go in the contest unless there's some
- 14:39Speaker 1: massive COVID issues that happened on Sunday morning. It's an
- 14:43Speaker 1: interesting game where like we haven't really touched on futures.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I guess it's because like we have a lot of
- 14:47Speaker 1: jam packing. There are different shows. This is like a
- 14:49Speaker 1: crazy future decider in this division, and it really is
- 14:52Speaker 1: interesting if the if the Patriots win this, it's hard
- 14:54Speaker 1: not to see them taking that a FC. But if
- 14:57Speaker 1: you're like me and you like the Bills and still
- 14:59Speaker 1: steal the AFC you East, It's uh, it's a sneaky
- 15:02Speaker 1: bet to make on the Bills team right now because
- 15:04Speaker 1: I can see them dropping this game. Again. Go look
- 15:07Speaker 1: at New England schedule. It gets tough coming up here.
- 15:09Speaker 1: They don't finish with just a layup schedule. They already
- 15:11Speaker 1: played the Jets twice, so you know they got Miami left,
- 15:14Speaker 1: they got the Bills left. It's this is a big one.
- 15:17Speaker 1: So to me, I'm doubling down on that. I'm taking
- 15:19Speaker 1: the Bills when the a f C East, and I'm
- 15:21Speaker 1: gonna be taking the Cults in the spot. I like
- 15:24Speaker 1: how you're scanning the market looking for opportunities, seeing how
- 15:27Speaker 1: you can basically bundle bundle the opportunities. We love the Eagles.
- 15:32Speaker 1: The other day, if their number in the contest, which
- 15:35Speaker 1: usually locks on Tuesday or Wednesday, is four and a half,
- 15:38Speaker 1: what is it right now? It will be um interesting
- 15:41Speaker 1: seeing what they make that line. Let's see what the
- 15:42Speaker 1: Eagles are. It is six and a half, so we
- 15:45Speaker 1: probably have to lock that one in and the Chargers
- 15:47Speaker 1: are three and a half, which is nice. Isn't it
- 15:50Speaker 1: funny how last week we felt so bad about every game.
- 15:53Speaker 1: This week, we're so overconfident that it's either going to
- 15:59Speaker 1: lead to a five and not week or in five. Yeah,
- 16:01Speaker 1: I'm gonna be down down to hard. But it felt
- 16:04Speaker 1: I smelt it last week that we talked about all
- 16:06Speaker 1: the time. I just felt like a public week I
- 16:07Speaker 1: was scaring me off. I just didn't like the way
- 16:10Speaker 1: the lines are moving, the way different games were kind
- 16:12Speaker 1: of looking. The Eagles are seven everywhere else. You're right, like,
- 16:16Speaker 1: the only reason I'm not thinking about the Eagles right
- 16:18Speaker 1: now is because I know they were at four and
- 16:19Speaker 1: a half earlier in the week. It's in a reality,
- 16:23Speaker 1: seven is probably still a good number. Yeah. No, I'm
- 16:27Speaker 1: gonna try to get scared off of the fact that
- 16:28Speaker 1: we have six and a half makes it way easier
- 16:30Speaker 1: to put into our contest. But if I was a
- 16:32Speaker 1: better I would still take it at seven. I just
- 16:34Speaker 1: want to betting as much as I was going through
- 16:36Speaker 1: when I was down at four and a half. Uh okay.
- 16:40Speaker 1: So the other game that was discussed by us and
- 16:43Speaker 1: by your friends, the sharp Callers, UM the Steelers plus two.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I don't know what it is in the contest, but
- 16:52Speaker 1: this is one of those games that is bubbling up
- 16:56Speaker 1: that has a lot of people talking about it. It's
- 16:58Speaker 1: a pro joe game. Majority of the bets are on
- 17:01Speaker 1: the Titans, majority of the money is on the Steelers. Um,
- 17:06Speaker 1: it feels like it like this Titans team, what have
- 17:08Speaker 1: they done? They scored twenty points and let the Jags
- 17:12Speaker 1: stay in at the entire game. They scored thirteen against
- 17:15Speaker 1: Houston and lost. They scored thirteen against New England. This
- 17:20Speaker 1: is this is not an offense without Derrick Henry, with
- 17:25Speaker 1: no A J. Brown, Julio Jones, you know, inconsistent in
- 17:29Speaker 1: his ability to stay in the field. There their skill positions.
- 17:33Speaker 1: They're just playing it like second and third string depth
- 17:37Speaker 1: right now. Um, Steelers at home as a dog and
- 17:42Speaker 1: a must win coming off a loss and extended rest.
- 17:47Speaker 1: I mean, there's too many, there's too many signals out
- 17:50Speaker 1: to take it again. People think we hate on Tennessee
- 17:53Speaker 1: a lot. I honestly think they has been one of
- 17:54Speaker 1: the coach of your candidates this year, what he's done
- 17:56Speaker 1: with that team, all the injuries they faced, and they
- 17:58Speaker 1: keep producing many there when the worst rank defenses end
- 18:02Speaker 1: this year, they've been way above what I thought they
- 18:04Speaker 1: were going to be on defense. So this isn't so
- 18:06Speaker 1: much I'm trying to shoot on Tennessee. It's just all
- 18:09Speaker 1: the different little matchups that really go towards this Pittsburgh team.
- 18:12Speaker 1: They're way better on defense, especially, They're gonna be matchup wise,
- 18:17Speaker 1: all you have to have is two guys Shadow and Julio,
- 18:19Speaker 1: and the rest of that defense is gonna be kind
- 18:21Speaker 1: of again, what's back to, the rest of that defense
- 18:24Speaker 1: is going to cover that field where there isn't any
- 18:25Speaker 1: other explosive player. You have to really worry about the
- 18:27Speaker 1: Tennessee team. So we're getting a team that it's a
- 18:30Speaker 1: little over inflated, Like this line to me should have
- 18:33Speaker 1: been minus one to Pittsburgh just giving them the respect
- 18:36Speaker 1: at home. The fact that we were getting too still
- 18:39Speaker 1: that one and a half of most books. I love
- 18:41Speaker 1: the value. Um. The the biggest determining factor in this
- 18:46Speaker 1: game is going to be defenses. We've seen Tennessee have
- 18:52Speaker 1: certain games where they really dominated some teams. Like again
- 18:55Speaker 1: that Chiefs game, Chiefs scored what three points against them?
- 18:58Speaker 1: I could say that says more about the Chiefs team,
- 18:59Speaker 1: But I went back and watch that film Tennessee. They
- 19:02Speaker 1: got playmakers, they got guys that make plays, but they're
- 19:05Speaker 1: also stupid. So that's what we're looking for. We're looking
- 19:08Speaker 1: for a team that's young, inconsistent to make mistakes against
- 19:10Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback in Roethlisberger and all the weapons he
- 19:13Speaker 1: does around him. And like you just touched on Tomlin
- 19:16Speaker 1: at home as a dog coming off a loss as well.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I know that. Really that's a big trend to with
- 19:21Speaker 1: Tomlin as a dog coming off a loss at home.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I wonder what Mike Tomlin is going to say about that.
- 19:27Speaker 1: But y'all, game today, you ain't know that that's no
- 19:29Speaker 1: more now, you know what I mean? My kids want
- 19:32Speaker 1: to have a good we have to do it even
- 19:34Speaker 1: if we lose this bet. Everything we're doing, all the numbers,
- 19:37Speaker 1: everything points to you have to kind of make this bet.
- 19:39Speaker 1: So it is one of those I had a little
- 19:41Speaker 1: bit of pause because I liked it so much, coming
- 19:43Speaker 1: in the fact that I got reinsurance from other pros
- 19:45Speaker 1: it makes me love it even more, so I'll definitely
- 19:47Speaker 1: be on this Pittsburgh team. I mean, we've already got
- 19:50Speaker 1: four games that we love and a couple of them
- 19:52Speaker 1: were not even games that we were targeting on Tuesday.
- 19:55Speaker 1: So it's gonna be really interesting for the rest of
- 19:58Speaker 1: the show. Probably like seven games this week. I like,
- 20:01Speaker 1: like legit love well one more game that we didn't
- 20:04Speaker 1: really talk about on Tuesday or that we did, but
- 20:08Speaker 1: I want to revisit. Is the Texans is underdogs on
- 20:11Speaker 1: the road at the Jags? Do we reconsider this without
- 20:15Speaker 1: Urban Meyer? Does the Jags team play reinvigorated? Are they
- 20:18Speaker 1: feeling like they are out from under the thumb of
- 20:21Speaker 1: their evil their evil overlord? Do you have any look
- 20:25Speaker 1: up to in life other than you? Yeah? Probably. I
- 20:30Speaker 1: think Urban Meyers starting to come in my role models.
- 20:33Speaker 1: This man came in that absolutely nothing, was an asshole
- 20:37Speaker 1: to everyone he came across. I mean, just a huge
- 20:40Speaker 1: piece of ship. I saw that he got paid fifty
- 20:43Speaker 1: million to get fired from that job. Right now, he'll
- 20:46Speaker 1: get fired for cause them because it kicked Lambo. So
- 20:48Speaker 1: the lawyers have got he'll get he'll get something, but
- 20:51Speaker 1: he won't get the whole fifty I hope you're right,
- 20:53Speaker 1: because if I was in a Jackson, I would just
- 20:56Speaker 1: be like, what the are you doing here? How is
- 20:57Speaker 1: this man walking away with all that money? So I'm
- 21:00Speaker 1: glad you said that because I saw that. I'm like,
- 21:01Speaker 1: this guy's really getting paid fifty million because to meet
- 21:04Speaker 1: him and Gruden, two of the greatest thieves in American history.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I mean, Growening got paid a hundred million to get
- 21:08Speaker 1: his ass kicked every year and can come back and coach.
- 21:11Speaker 1: So I told you my whole reason for liking that
- 21:13Speaker 1: Jacks team. Um, I not that I had whispers of
- 21:17Speaker 1: him getting fired, but I had whispers of, you know something,
- 21:20Speaker 1: something might be happening with that team. I wish I
- 21:22Speaker 1: would have bet it, though, because I just didn't believe.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I really thought they were gonna m finish out the
- 21:26Speaker 1: year because of everything he'd done. And it's hilarious that
- 21:28Speaker 1: story of him kicking their ex kicker in preseason is
- 21:31Speaker 1: what kind of pushed it over the edge. But yeah,
- 21:33Speaker 1: nothing's changed. I think, um, the public I knew was
- 21:36Speaker 1: gonna come and have you on Houston. That was my
- 21:38Speaker 1: whole reason for liking the Jacks, even before Urban was fired,
- 21:41Speaker 1: the number was grown. I think it had got up
- 21:42Speaker 1: to three and a half four even before he was fired,
- 21:45Speaker 1: So the pros came in on it. Now it's up
- 21:47Speaker 1: the five and a half and a lot of off
- 21:48Speaker 1: shore books that are really respected by a lot of professionals.
- 21:52Speaker 1: That's like a clear indicator that everyone thinks what we
- 21:54Speaker 1: always think, that a team hates their coach. I remember
- 21:56Speaker 1: we bet the Vegas shit they played. Do you remember
- 21:59Speaker 1: Chad the week after they got he got fired? Yeah? Yeah,
- 22:04Speaker 1: we love them that week, right, And it's just it
- 22:06Speaker 1: feels like the same thing. You're like, everyone's gonna rally
- 22:09Speaker 1: around hating this guy. So I don't know what number
- 22:11Speaker 1: we'll get in the contest or if this will be
- 22:13Speaker 1: one of our five, but nothing's changed. I'll still be
- 22:15Speaker 1: betting it. It's a fun bet, like we love, we
- 22:18Speaker 1: love being on teams after the fire coach and everyone
- 22:20Speaker 1: hates and I feel like everyone hates Herban may even
- 22:23Speaker 1: even like the X, like the players coming out and
- 22:26Speaker 1: talking about it after he's gone. Nothing but the stain.
- 22:29Speaker 1: So this man who just was not liked by that team.
- 22:31Speaker 1: It's always interesting also to bet the team right after
- 22:34Speaker 1: the coaches fired. I think that's always a good opportunity.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Um Stuck. He actually did a great story about this.
- 22:40Speaker 1: We should People should just google Action Network Stucky NFL
- 22:45Speaker 1: coaches fired, and you will get a great story from
- 22:49Speaker 1: Stucky about how teams perform in the first game after
- 22:52Speaker 1: their coaches fired, or there's a mid season or coaching change.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Another game on our list, I'm going in order here.
- 22:59Speaker 1: We liked the Panthers at the Bills plus ten. You
- 23:05Speaker 1: said we should wait, and sure not, the line has
- 23:07Speaker 1: moved up. Here's what's interesting to me. The total on
- 23:10Speaker 1: this game is about forty four. It's a pretty low
- 23:13Speaker 1: total for a number that has such a high spread
- 23:16Speaker 1: and the majority of the money, meaning the wise guy money,
- 23:18Speaker 1: the professional money is coming in on the under. To me,
- 23:21Speaker 1: there's a correlation there. There's correlation between betting the under
- 23:25Speaker 1: at forty four forty four and a half and then
- 23:27Speaker 1: betting the Panthers a plus eleven. Given the circumstances around
- 23:32Speaker 1: these teams, Josh Allen in a walking boot, bad weather
- 23:35Speaker 1: and Buffalo the Panthers knowing that they're only going to
- 23:38Speaker 1: run the ball. It feels like a pretty good spot
- 23:41Speaker 1: for the Panthers, and we liked. Everyone's left him for Debt. No,
- 23:45Speaker 1: no one's bet in Carolina, no one's a beat Camp.
- 23:47Speaker 1: So coming in, I did really like it, but I
- 23:49Speaker 1: don't think it'll be one of my top five. Now.
- 23:51Speaker 1: I still love what everything you said, but man, that
- 23:55Speaker 1: feeling of we're down fourteen, we have Cam and now
- 23:57Speaker 1: Cam has to throw the ball and we know it
- 23:59Speaker 1: picks six is coming. It's it's just not what I
- 24:02Speaker 1: want to experience for our fans here. So um, I
- 24:04Speaker 1: still love it. Still think it's a good smart pro
- 24:06Speaker 1: number I would take in my pick pools, but I
- 24:09Speaker 1: don't know if I'll make it one of our best five. Broncos.
- 24:12Speaker 1: We discussed we still love the Broncos. We love the Broncos.
- 24:15Speaker 1: At minus two and a half, yeah, we I mean again,
- 24:17Speaker 1: we think there's more Gonna Burrows injury that's been led on.
- 24:21Speaker 1: He didn't play well for about three quarters of that
- 24:24Speaker 1: game against the fourty niners, and he did try as
- 24:26Speaker 1: hard as you could the back doorm. A lot of
- 24:28Speaker 1: that went down to the refs and Chase. I mean,
- 24:31Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel about this Bengals team.
- 24:33Speaker 1: So I know it's a make or break week for them.
- 24:36Speaker 1: The fact that I moved against him it makes me
- 24:38Speaker 1: even trust trust my numbers early on even more, where
- 24:42Speaker 1: we we just thought Denver was a good side. In fact,
- 24:44Speaker 1: the professionals came in so heavy and bet this all
- 24:45Speaker 1: way up to a key number of three two and
- 24:47Speaker 1: a half. I love Denver. I know the public are
- 24:49Speaker 1: gonna come in on this dog with since he I
- 24:52Speaker 1: get it, you're gonna points with a team that feels
- 24:54Speaker 1: are kind of a coin flip kind of game. But
- 24:56Speaker 1: to me, this should be, you know, more minus four
- 24:59Speaker 1: for Denver than is. So I still think we're gonna
- 25:02Speaker 1: good number here with this number. Team Jesus Christ. We've
- 25:04Speaker 1: already written down six games that we love. Yeah, I
- 25:07Speaker 1: told you I had like seven, leg had seven games.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I really like this is uh, this is insane all right?
- 25:13Speaker 1: Another one Tuesday, Jay Tuesday. We loved the Falcons at
- 25:22Speaker 1: plus eight and a half. It's now up to nine
- 25:25Speaker 1: and a half. But we might be on one's bettness.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I didn't really hear that many pro pros like this
- 25:30Speaker 1: number like I do. I just Shanahan is a huge
- 25:34Speaker 1: favorite at home. We always fade. This position always works
- 25:37Speaker 1: out for us. I mean one that really jumped out
- 25:39Speaker 1: to me. I think maybe just because I'm an Egos fan,
- 25:40Speaker 1: but the Eagles were doing terrible right, They're on a
- 25:44Speaker 1: big slide um. Everyone was kind of done on Carson
- 25:47Speaker 1: Wentz just did not look right. They had Nick Mullins
- 25:51Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback of the fours, and the books
- 25:53Speaker 1: had the audacity to make them minus eight at home
- 25:57Speaker 1: against the Eagles. With Nick Mollins the starting quarterback, think
- 26:00Speaker 1: heus end up winning that game, but over a touchdown
- 26:02Speaker 1: against this this four Niners team. So just going off
- 26:05Speaker 1: the over inflation of this line, the fact that publics
- 26:07Speaker 1: come keep coming in on this number and they keep
- 26:09Speaker 1: betting it up even more. Love this changed here. Love Atlanta,
- 26:13Speaker 1: love them to beat this four Niners team. We talked
- 26:16Speaker 1: about it was maybe two or three years ago, the
- 26:18Speaker 1: Super Bowl run. The four Niners had the only team
- 26:21Speaker 1: they lost to at home that year because you're Atlanta Falcons,
- 26:24Speaker 1: and they were even worse that year, the Atlanta Falcons.
- 26:26Speaker 1: This team matchup on paper, I think a lot of
- 26:29Speaker 1: excuse towards this four Owners team. On the defensive side,
- 26:32Speaker 1: the Atlanta just does not have the pieces in the
- 26:34Speaker 1: secondary to really shut down Jimmy g luckily upfront, they've
- 26:38Speaker 1: had pass rush and they've had a lot of good pressure.
- 26:39Speaker 1: You see, Jimmy g is not good against pressure. So
- 26:42Speaker 1: this is gonna be a sloppy turnover kind of battle
- 26:45Speaker 1: with you know, we're gonna get a little bit of
- 26:47Speaker 1: luck to cover this number. But I also think we
- 26:49Speaker 1: have a chance of winning this game, winning out right.
- 26:51Speaker 1: For all the big dogs this week, this is the
- 26:52Speaker 1: only one I really seen having a chance of winning
- 26:54Speaker 1: out right. So I'm still gonna be on Atlanta, still
- 26:56Speaker 1: take that number. It's just scary the line the numbers
- 26:59Speaker 1: moving against us. I know that that means no pro
- 27:01Speaker 1: money is coming on our side, and that's always scared
- 27:03Speaker 1: when we're just on an island. In that way, I
- 27:05Speaker 1: think we've got plenty of options for final five. I
- 27:07Speaker 1: don't know that we need to add it, even though
- 27:09Speaker 1: even though it is my scoot Roulette pick. Yeah, that's tough.
- 27:14Speaker 1: You're on the Colts minus two and a half. I'm
- 27:15Speaker 1: on the Falcons plus eight and a half, or I'll
- 27:18Speaker 1: take whatever wherever the number of lands. Here's another interesting
- 27:21Speaker 1: one on Tuesday Seattle was the Simon says pick a second,
- 27:24Speaker 1: Simon says, pick the first Simon says, pick was Atlanta
- 27:27Speaker 1: plus eight and a half. So people aren't getting the
- 27:30Speaker 1: best of the number on that. Simon says, pick, and
- 27:32Speaker 1: they're not getting the best of the number on a
- 27:34Speaker 1: Simon says, uh the sequel because the Seahawks on Tuesday
- 27:38Speaker 1: were at plus seven now they're a plus four and
- 27:40Speaker 1: a half. And this is another pro Joe fiercent of
- 27:43Speaker 1: the money on the Seahawks the Rams. Yeah, nothing's changed.
- 27:46Speaker 1: We talked about that was a crazy over inflated line
- 27:49Speaker 1: in a divisional rivalry matchup four and a half? Would
- 27:52Speaker 1: you still bet it? Still? Would bet it still? I mean,
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'd still take it. It It just it just sucks giving
- 27:56Speaker 1: that out because it's like we lost a lot of
- 27:58Speaker 1: that value. That's big too. Two and a half points
- 28:01Speaker 1: moved through two different key numbers as well. Now that hurts.
- 28:04Speaker 1: So I'm still on the Seahawks. That that might be
- 28:07Speaker 1: reason why it's not one of our five is it's
- 28:09Speaker 1: it's moved so much. We're losing a lot of the
- 28:10Speaker 1: value taking at this number. But it depends on what
- 28:13Speaker 1: it's at in the contest though, Yeah, that's true. I
- 28:16Speaker 1: still think this number should be closer to three and
- 28:17Speaker 1: a half. So if you're just a better out there,
- 28:19Speaker 1: I still think you're gonna get number the Seahawks team.
- 28:21Speaker 1: This is going to be a tough battle for both teams.
- 28:25Speaker 1: We talked about rams are overinflated just because they want
- 28:27Speaker 1: a prime time game again. Now I'm talking about like
- 28:30Speaker 1: thinking about talking about maybe this could be one of
- 28:31Speaker 1: our five depending on what the number is in the contest.
- 28:33Speaker 1: But it's just tough taking out four and a half
- 28:36Speaker 1: when it was seven. If you said to me on
- 28:38Speaker 1: a Thursday, I got this number three, I've got this
- 28:41Speaker 1: power raider to three three and a half, and I've
- 28:43Speaker 1: got a one and a half point advantage on the underdog,
- 28:47Speaker 1: I wouldn't be thinking about the opportunity cost lost from
- 28:51Speaker 1: the Seahawks at plus seven. I would only be thinking
- 28:54Speaker 1: I'm still getting a point and a half and I
- 28:56Speaker 1: would like I hit the go button immediately. Yeah, Like
- 29:00Speaker 1: I'm really good what I do. These bookmakers are a
- 29:02Speaker 1: million times better. So that's the scary part where when
- 29:04Speaker 1: it lands at six, you're like, oh fuck, that's why
- 29:06Speaker 1: they hung at seven when at first open. That was
- 29:08Speaker 1: why the Pros bettered at seven because the numbers should
- 29:11Speaker 1: have been six So that's always the scariest part with
- 29:13Speaker 1: bet in these kind of numbers, is um, there's a
- 29:15Speaker 1: reason they hung out that high. I'm just hoping my
- 29:17Speaker 1: initial read right that they bumped it away up there
- 29:19Speaker 1: just because of the prime time win for this Rams
- 29:21Speaker 1: team Saints Bucks. We love the Saints a plus eleven
- 29:26Speaker 1: in the past. I want to take the Saints. But
- 29:29Speaker 1: the more I read about it, the more I look
- 29:30Speaker 1: at it, this might be a sharp trap that I'm
- 29:33Speaker 1: walking right into. It feels a little too good to
- 29:35Speaker 1: be true, Like the sports books are being really nice,
- 29:37Speaker 1: so it's giving us this kind of number. Maybe talk
- 29:39Speaker 1: to two other professional groups on the Saints too. They
- 29:42Speaker 1: think we've gotten all we could get out of the
- 29:44Speaker 1: Saints run again there. I believe four and five the
- 29:48Speaker 1: last two years against this Buccaneers team, the one losses
- 29:51Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. So again they're three and
- 29:53Speaker 1: one or four and one against Brady since he's been
- 29:56Speaker 1: on the book, or No. Three and one against Brady
- 29:58Speaker 1: the one win game last year in the play up.
- 30:00Speaker 1: So the Saints have played well, They've matched up well
- 30:03Speaker 1: against this Buccaneers team. This just doesn't They just had
- 30:07Speaker 1: too much stuff going on that's gonna catch up when
- 30:09Speaker 1: they're this game in my opinion, like Taysom Hill kind
- 30:11Speaker 1: of a runforced quarterback. We know that with the finger
- 30:13Speaker 1: injury as well, that really puts some of a buy
- 30:16Speaker 1: on where they're gonna need to have to try to
- 30:17Speaker 1: run the ball against this Buccaneers front that I just
- 30:19Speaker 1: can't trust that. I cannot trust them running against this team.
- 30:22Speaker 1: You need to beat the Bucks by passing. That's not
- 30:24Speaker 1: what the Saints do well right now. So I'll bet
- 30:27Speaker 1: the Saints, but this is probably gonna be my low,
- 30:29Speaker 1: like five figures kind of bet. I doubt I crossed
- 30:31Speaker 1: in the you know, Tan k on this kind of game,
- 30:34Speaker 1: it's um, it's just too much unknown with it for
- 30:37Speaker 1: me to really put a lot of money on it anymore.
- 30:39Speaker 1: I won't do. I won't to die more than I
- 30:44Speaker 1: wouldn't either. So can we talk about the Bears for
- 30:47Speaker 1: a second. H Now that you're in the fold, now
- 30:49Speaker 1: that you've got Bears paraphernalia, now that you love them
- 30:53Speaker 1: as much as I do, when they're your second favorite team.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Bears plus three and a half plus four against the Vikings.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Vikings team that only plays one possession games, always plays
- 31:01Speaker 1: down to their opponent. You can almost guarantee whatever they
- 31:04Speaker 1: do in the first half of do the opposite in
- 31:06Speaker 1: the second half. Money coming in on the Bears. That's
- 31:09Speaker 1: coming in and the Vikings. We've got six games that
- 31:12Speaker 1: we're talking about right now that we really like for
- 31:14Speaker 1: the contest. The Bears going to be in play for
- 31:17Speaker 1: us on Sunday. Are the Bears a team to bet
- 31:20Speaker 1: right now? Of course? You know you knew we were
- 31:22Speaker 1: gonna love that number. We talked on Tuesday about. It's
- 31:26Speaker 1: it's such a again. Once again, it's another prose versus
- 31:29Speaker 1: Joe's kind of game. Obviously, I wish all these dogs
- 31:31Speaker 1: with cash rous people uh in these primetime slots, But
- 31:34Speaker 1: that's just one of you guys are gonna drop, So
- 31:38Speaker 1: I don't. I'm probably walking into taking all these home dogs.
- 31:40Speaker 1: And I hate betting Matt Naggy, So that's the only thing,
- 31:44Speaker 1: Paul for me not putting this in. The main reason
- 31:46Speaker 1: will be just because the Naggy um. He's burned me
- 31:49Speaker 1: taking the Bears as a dog on any other coach.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I believe in NFL history, the sky every time I
- 31:54Speaker 1: take the Bears as a dog, he doesn't cover. I
- 31:56Speaker 1: mean it's it's a talent. Honestly, Um, I wish I
- 32:00Speaker 1: could fade them, but they just keep getting such value,
- 32:02Speaker 1: this Bears team, because they're not as bad as they looked. Again,
- 32:05Speaker 1: Robert Quinn, he's three sacks away from breaking your guy
- 32:08Speaker 1: sack record. No one even knows that because the Bears
- 32:10Speaker 1: have just been that bad this year. Don't even cares.
- 32:12Speaker 1: They're just like, oh, they just sucked all here. So
- 32:15Speaker 1: I don't know. I have to take the Bears just
- 32:17Speaker 1: in a simple fact that Vikings always played down the competition.
- 32:19Speaker 1: They play games close. They're sucking me with three and
- 32:21Speaker 1: a half houck. I know, I know what they're doing.
- 32:23Speaker 1: They're giving me a little trap there. So yeah, I'll
- 32:26Speaker 1: bet it, but I probably won't make it one of
- 32:28Speaker 1: our five because I just feel terrible having people bet
- 32:30Speaker 1: on these ship teams and lose the money and like
- 32:31Speaker 1: such bad spots. Look, we didn't do a our big
- 32:35Speaker 1: balls better than weep. Sorry, I meant I should have
- 32:37Speaker 1: said Chargers, Oh chargers, all right, Well, listen, we had
- 32:43Speaker 1: a guy's recommendation, We had a request from jeep Glide.
- 32:49Speaker 1: A d M from jeep Glide sounds streussworthy. Oh you
- 32:55Speaker 1: know by the way I found you on Twitter. I
- 32:59Speaker 1: think that most people who reach out on Twitter through
- 33:01Speaker 1: their d m s are pretty genuine, Like they either
- 33:05Speaker 1: have a really good criticism, but they say it in
- 33:07Speaker 1: a way where they want to be constructive because they're
- 33:10Speaker 1: invested in the show or their fans of yours, or
- 33:14Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. It's like the people who
- 33:16Speaker 1: just at you in their mentions, you suck, you call
- 33:19Speaker 1: yourself a professional, You're an asshole. Those are my favorite ones.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Those are the people like I don't pay attention to
- 33:25Speaker 1: Jeep Glood. He wonders if we can do the money line,
- 33:29Speaker 1: the big ball better the Week should be a money
- 33:30Speaker 1: line underdog, and this case it is. It's the Chargers,
- 33:34Speaker 1: like but you don't like them as the big balls
- 33:38Speaker 1: better the Week. Just on the money line, you like
- 33:39Speaker 1: him the plus three and a half. No, I mean
- 33:43Speaker 1: the money money line is supposed to just be a
- 33:45Speaker 1: little percentage of your bankroll. You're giving yourself a ton
- 33:48Speaker 1: of risk taking money lines. That's why they're giving you
- 33:50Speaker 1: such nice plus numbers. That's why I like doing money
- 33:52Speaker 1: line around Robbins. I like his idea in his concept,
- 33:54Speaker 1: but the whole point of the big ball is better
- 33:56Speaker 1: as people just be taking these ugly spread numbers. So
- 33:58Speaker 1: that's kind of like my oh when I first started,
- 34:00Speaker 1: like came on your show. It's just I want people
- 34:03Speaker 1: to take ugly dogs. That's how you win good money.
- 34:05Speaker 1: You take ugly dog money lines as well. So our
- 34:07Speaker 1: money line round Robins already ugly enough that already takes
- 34:10Speaker 1: big balls to make regardless. All right, well big balls better.
- 34:13Speaker 1: The week is gonna be the Chargers plus three and
- 34:15Speaker 1: a half. We are riding big numbers with that. We're
- 34:20Speaker 1: gonna get to your five star hypercritical reviews. Let's uh,
- 34:26Speaker 1: what is happening. Look, we take the We take the
- 34:29Speaker 1: feedback seriously. It's why we asked for the hypercritical reviews.
- 34:33Speaker 1: It's why when the guy came in and said, I
- 34:36Speaker 1: don't like when you say love you at the end.
- 34:37Speaker 1: We talked about it, we voted on it. We decided
- 34:40Speaker 1: to keep doing it. We're invested just like you are.
- 34:43Speaker 1: What's our money line parlay? It's like, is it is
- 34:45Speaker 1: it a is it a seven team money line? Parlay?
- 34:54Speaker 1: Dog your dog? Your dog blocks dog? I mean obviously
- 35:00Speaker 1: got throw Chargers in there. We would like Las Vegas,
- 35:04Speaker 1: it was it was plus three when we did the
- 35:05Speaker 1: show on Tuesday. Now that's gone. They're the favorite. Kind
- 35:08Speaker 1: of makes me when I take the browns now, but
- 35:11Speaker 1: it's not enough value even throwing this MONEYLFE par Lace.
- 35:13Speaker 1: We'll just leave them out just because they're not really
- 35:16Speaker 1: change that number enough for us to make any like
- 35:18Speaker 1: real Dent Chargers love it, Pittsburgh love it, Seahawks love it. Atlanta.
- 35:26Speaker 1: I'm about it. This fifth one. People who might get
- 35:28Speaker 1: upset because we're going against ourselves with it. I'm still
- 35:31Speaker 1: in Green Bay. But the Ravens as a home dog,
- 35:33Speaker 1: you're you're getting. You're getting a good number at this point.
- 35:36Speaker 1: If it's Lamar and you're doing this on Sunday, I
- 35:38Speaker 1: put this one in. If you're gonna do it just
- 35:40Speaker 1: because you're throwing the Charges in tonight, I probably leave
- 35:42Speaker 1: it out. And I would just throw in the Bears.
- 35:45Speaker 1: I know Chad, he probably believes they have no shot
- 35:48Speaker 1: of winning. I'm right there with them. We've seen the
- 35:50Speaker 1: Vikings though. They when they have wins, when they come
- 35:53Speaker 1: off wins, they have letdowns to find games and they
- 35:55Speaker 1: just play so sloppy. It's um it's too many points
- 35:59Speaker 1: of that matchup. So to me, that's a nice little
- 36:01Speaker 1: icing on the cake. Taking that the Bears to end
- 36:04Speaker 1: it on Monday night and you can hedge out. That's
- 36:06Speaker 1: why I like doing primetime games. Taking these big dogs.
- 36:08Speaker 1: It's an easy spot to hedge. So it's a great
- 36:11Speaker 1: way to ruin your Monday night watching the Bears, ruin
- 36:15Speaker 1: your money line round robbing parlay night. What's our survivor pick?
- 36:28Speaker 1: Actually had a tough time like thinking about this one.
- 36:31Speaker 1: You're you're basically at the point now where you don't
- 36:34Speaker 1: have like that many options obviously left. It's tough for
- 36:37Speaker 1: me to tell you take the Jags, but that's one
- 36:39Speaker 1: of the teams you're gonna have left. It's tough for me, Taylor,
- 36:41Speaker 1: you take Miami against the Jets, but that's one of
- 36:42Speaker 1: the teams are gonna have left. Miami, the Jags. They
- 36:46Speaker 1: really stand out as these two teams that people most
- 36:48Speaker 1: likely have left, or the Eagles if you haven't. Somehow
- 36:51Speaker 1: I haven't used Eagles. You didn't use them against the Jets.
- 36:53Speaker 1: It's another good spot to use these teams. So I'm
- 36:55Speaker 1: trying to look at it. Obviously, there's other matchups like
- 36:57Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Yeah, that's a layup. No one's gonna have
- 37:00Speaker 1: that left. Um, no one's gonna have the Bills left.
- 37:02Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of obscure teams that people might
- 37:04Speaker 1: have left. Again, it's scary. I get it. You're taking
- 37:07Speaker 1: the Jags, but they're at home, big spot against a
- 37:11Speaker 1: rookie quarterback playing hard because they hated their past coach.
- 37:15Speaker 1: I just love it. And the fact that this number
- 37:16Speaker 1: is gonna keep growing that that has to make you
- 37:18Speaker 1: feel better about taking the Jags on the money line.
- 37:20Speaker 1: So to me, that's a sneaky play for survival pool.
- 37:23Speaker 1: All Right, we've done the money line parlot, we've done
- 37:25Speaker 1: the Survivor pool, we've done the sharp calls. We've narrowed
- 37:28Speaker 1: it down. Um, just to recap as we head into
- 37:34Speaker 1: as we head into the weekend, the games that we
- 37:37Speaker 1: are thinking about for our final five, we're definitely doing
- 37:40Speaker 1: the Chargers plus three and a half. We love the
- 37:43Speaker 1: Colts minus two and a half. And then we're gonna
- 37:45Speaker 1: be choosing from Eagles minus six and a half, Steelers
- 37:49Speaker 1: plus two, maybe the Jags minus four, maybe the Broncos
- 37:53Speaker 1: minus two and a half, maybe the Bears probably plus four.
- 37:57Speaker 1: What we're looking at I know a couple of professionals
- 37:59Speaker 1: they like the Ravens. My love for green Bay is
- 38:02Speaker 1: just the fact I think Lamar is gonna be out
- 38:03Speaker 1: and that's just a huge advantage to that Green Bay team.
- 38:06Speaker 1: So it's rare. I'm on the tchalk side, especially road chalk,
- 38:09Speaker 1: but that's just a good position of being. And now
- 38:15Speaker 1: a word from our friends at FANDEL. The NFL playoffs

- 40:32Speaker 1: it's time for the hypercritical five star reviews. We asked
- 40:38Speaker 1: for it. It's the end of the year. We're doing
- 40:40Speaker 1: our own public facing NDY the Year reviews. And let
- 40:44Speaker 1: me just say one thing I want to remind everybody
- 40:46Speaker 1: because some of the a lot of the feedback was
- 40:48Speaker 1: consistent about wanting more player props or you know, it
- 40:52Speaker 1: gets a little too talkie at times. All good, we
- 40:55Speaker 1: get it, trying to pull that back sometimes. If you
- 40:58Speaker 1: are looking for just hardcore NFL data analysis picks very
- 41:06Speaker 1: little chit chat, check out the Action Network podcast. They
- 41:09Speaker 1: went through it, especially on their their Thursday show they
- 41:13Speaker 1: do their Sunday six pack. It's an amazing show. I
- 41:15Speaker 1: listened to it every week before I get ready for
- 41:17Speaker 1: this one. Also, the award winning Fantasy Flex podcast UM
- 41:22Speaker 1: Separate Channel goes through player props, as well as everything
- 41:25Speaker 1: DFS related. So here's the summary of some of the
- 41:30Speaker 1: meanest five star reviews. We got him. Then, Matt Mitchell,
- 41:32Speaker 1: you're gonna announce the winner at the end. That's right,
- 41:35Speaker 1: we'll select a few winners. Again, we really appreciate everyone
- 41:39Speaker 1: who most importantly followed the directions. It's very manual. You
- 41:44Speaker 1: gotta follow a bunch of steps. I really, really really
- 41:47Speaker 1: appreciate that helps the show a lot. The content of
- 41:50Speaker 1: those reviews. I read every single review, one star reviews
- 41:55Speaker 1: that are mean spirited, just very kindly in the spirit
- 41:59Speaker 1: of the holiday season, go funk yourselves. I'm sure that
- 42:02Speaker 1: will fuel a million one star reviews. But again, if
- 42:05Speaker 1: you want to attack us personally or get into really
- 42:09Speaker 1: sharp criticism that you know will be read individually by
- 42:12Speaker 1: me and probably Chad Simon, you can email me any
- 42:16Speaker 1: time at podcasts at Action network dot com. You will
- 42:22Speaker 1: also be emailing podcasts at Action network dot com to
- 42:26Speaker 1: claim any prizes. That is the mechanism through which you
- 42:30Speaker 1: receive your prizes. So again, thank you for everyone who
- 42:33Speaker 1: followed instructions. We are nothing without our listeners. As a reminder,
- 42:38Speaker 1: I have been listening to this show for a really, really,
- 42:41Speaker 1: really really long time, all the way back to its
- 42:43Speaker 1: ESPN days. I love the show so much I quit
- 42:46Speaker 1: my good job, went back to school, learned audio production,
- 42:50Speaker 1: got a job at Action when it was barely a company,
- 42:52Speaker 1: so that I could eventually produce this show. So I
- 42:54Speaker 1: appreciate everyone's investment in the show and desire to improve it.
- 42:59Speaker 1: I take all of your feedback very very very seriously.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Feedback is a gift. Here are some of the gifts
- 43:06Speaker 1: are fans gave us this holiday season. Academic NFL fan
- 43:10Speaker 1: who appreciated that we stayed on topic, which is unlike
- 43:14Speaker 1: the views of many of our critics. A M. Lopez quote,
- 43:20Speaker 1: Come for the bets, stay for the Colt McCoy story,
- 43:24Speaker 1: Taser two four three six three subject line which nipple quarterback.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Thanks to j swab twenty one, who left us an
- 43:33Speaker 1: ivers review. We're saying hello to d L E ws
- 43:39Speaker 1: R e k o J who complained that he now
- 43:42Speaker 1: here's Chad saying Minnesota vikings when he sees them. Cheeky Finger,
- 43:47Speaker 1: who has been listening since Matthew Berry used to join
- 43:49Speaker 1: on Scooches show. Matthew Berry has never been on the
- 43:52Speaker 1: podcast In fact, Matthew Berry was vociferously against the idea
- 43:57Speaker 1: that fantasy was gambling and gambling over right up until
- 44:01Speaker 1: it became clear gambling is going to outpace fantasy at
- 44:03Speaker 1: some point. This is a neate Rabbits podcast. A few
- 44:06Speaker 1: people will get that, Red Devil ten who called Matt
- 44:10Speaker 1: Mitchell a dead inside Bills fan got Feeble who asked
- 44:14Speaker 1: for more player props and called Simon a miserable scrooge,
- 44:17Speaker 1: and Mohan s r O has Chad, who asked Chad
- 44:20Speaker 1: to stop ragging about his own professionalism. Can I tell
- 44:24Speaker 1: you professional? There were some mean ones in there, Matt Mitchell.
- 44:27Speaker 1: I mean that I've never been called a scrooge, So
- 44:29Speaker 1: I'm actually feeling pretty good right now. Well should you?
- 44:32Speaker 1: You are right about that? There were certainly cemtar ones
- 44:35Speaker 1: in here. Again, Tina's voice was essentially not heard last episode.
- 44:39Speaker 1: We did get some reviews begging for her return. That
- 44:42Speaker 1: is very nice. I will mostly leave Tina out of
- 44:45Speaker 1: us through the end of the season. I think that's
- 44:47Speaker 1: totally fine. Thank you everyone for your concern. She's fine professional. Yeah,
- 44:52Speaker 1: she's a pro. I do want to give a little
- 44:55Speaker 1: bit of shine to well Bosom who left by far
- 44:59Speaker 1: our longest and probably our most mean review, but again,
- 45:04Speaker 1: it was five stars, so I want to thank him
- 45:07Speaker 1: or her personally for following instructions and basically giving us
- 45:10Speaker 1: exactly what we asked for. It is very long, but
- 45:13Speaker 1: to summarize, he or she let us know that the
- 45:17Speaker 1: show is one of the best in the business when
- 45:19Speaker 1: it stays on topic, which he doesn't always do. It
- 45:21Speaker 1: would be nice if Chad could rain himself in a
- 45:24Speaker 1: little bit because in years past Scooch was able to
- 45:28Speaker 1: kind of keep him on track, but now that he
- 45:30Speaker 1: has quote a big wigged action network, it feels as
- 45:33Speaker 1: though he has a blank check to do whatever he
- 45:36Speaker 1: pleases on this show. Weekly I get regaled with not
- 45:39Speaker 1: so subtle brags about his weekly happenings. We get it
- 45:43Speaker 1: you went to MSG and didn't sit in the rafters,
- 45:45Speaker 1: but frankly, I'd rather hear about Simon's three am trip
- 45:49Speaker 1: to the bathroom and Quote. He wanted to let us
- 45:52Speaker 1: know that he appreciates Simon's in depth analysis and viewpoints.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Simon has up getting up pretty easy here, but that
- 45:58Speaker 1: the rest of the episode is like Nickelodeon's Slime Time.
- 46:03Speaker 1: Chad reminds me of Timmy Timmins, the younger brother in
- 46:06Speaker 1: the sand Lot. He went in to explain that at
- 46:09Speaker 1: great depth, and then let me know that the hokey
- 46:12Speaker 1: little drops drive me crazy. I've been conditioned to reach
- 46:15Speaker 1: my phone and find the skip ahead button when anyone
- 46:18Speaker 1: mentions Daniel Jones, or as soon as I hear the
- 46:20Speaker 1: buffalo bills mentioned for a show that delivers such professional content,
- 46:24Speaker 1: the hokey drops feeling incredibly amateurish. Thank you, I'm not
- 46:29Speaker 1: going anywhere. I would just love for you guys to
- 46:31Speaker 1: stay on track. I need your picks to remain consistently
- 46:34Speaker 1: good at picking winners, and I'd rather pay you money
- 46:37Speaker 1: in my time to listen to the extra circus peanuts
- 46:41Speaker 1: that somehow somebody thought it was a good idea to
- 46:45Speaker 1: include in this show. It goes on from there, including
- 46:48Speaker 1: Sanky very explicitly did not want to receive any Action
- 46:51Speaker 1: Network swag and that he would be embarrassed to wear it,
- 46:54Speaker 1: and said to be nice if there were some occasional
- 46:56Speaker 1: guests hosts, but please not Darren Rebel. It is a
