Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites. It's the podcast. I'm Chad Melman
- 0:15Speaker 1: from the Action Network and it is Wednesday morning, which
- 0:21Speaker 1: means I am joined by bookmaker to the United States
- 0:27Speaker 1: of America Bookmaker Emeritus, the Bookmaker Laureate. I feel like
- 0:34Speaker 1: that should be a post nominated by the federal government
- 0:39Speaker 1: from the Orleans representing BOYD Gaming, Mr Bob Robert Scucci.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Game is that Bob Scucci singing? Is that? Mr Bob Scucci?
- 1:15Speaker 1: Is that an original? Scootles? That's a that's an original song.
- 1:21Speaker 1: You wrote an original song and you wrote it about
- 1:23Speaker 1: your wife. I did you sound good in that song?
- 1:30Speaker 1: You sound really good? I love it? Thank you. I
- 1:37Speaker 1: wrote it, produced it, played the instruments everything it sounds.
- 1:41Speaker 1: How many instruments were there? Uh? Well, we just double tracked,
- 1:46Speaker 1: you know. I did the guitar, then I did rhythm
- 1:48Speaker 1: than lead, and then we did a little keyboards on
- 1:51Speaker 1: it some you know strings effect. The action you got
- 1:56Speaker 1: that night must have been ridiculous. YEA, oh my god,
- 2:11Speaker 1: that's too good. When did you write that song for
- 2:14Speaker 1: your wife? Um? Maybe three three years ago, so you
- 2:20Speaker 1: were not married yet. You guys got married, what two
- 2:22Speaker 1: and a half years ago too. Yeah, and so uh
- 2:27Speaker 1: tell me the process here. You know, I gotta tell you,
- 2:32Speaker 1: she's not gonna be happy about playing that song. She
- 2:34Speaker 1: never wanted that was like supposed to be her song.
- 2:37Speaker 1: It was just for very personal and uh, when we
- 2:42Speaker 1: made it and I'd let her listen to it, she
- 2:44Speaker 1: was just you know, overwhelmed. But she always wanted to
- 2:47Speaker 1: be a very personal, private song. And then of course
- 2:51Speaker 1: one of the other school Les members decided to post it,
- 2:54Speaker 1: which she wasn't too pleased about. So fortunately she doesn't
- 2:58Speaker 1: listen to the podcast, so maybe she I was gonna say,
- 3:00Speaker 1: you better make sure she's not listening to the podcast, brother,
- 3:03Speaker 1: because there's gonna be a lot more people listen to
- 3:05Speaker 1: that song now. She will be upset. I can tell
- 3:09Speaker 1: you you won't be getting any that night. That there
- 3:14Speaker 1: won't be any no, no, no scooch action for sure.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is so funny. She must have
- 3:25Speaker 1: heard that song and just been beside herself because I
- 3:29Speaker 1: know you, I know for a fact, you've never written
- 3:33Speaker 1: a song for anybody before in your life. No, no, yeah,
- 3:37Speaker 1: she was. She was in tears. It was pretty emotional.
- 3:40Speaker 1: How did you actually want to sing it? To kind
- 3:45Speaker 1: of make sure that answer first and then then answer
- 3:47Speaker 1: my question. She wanted you to sing it where she
- 3:49Speaker 1: wanted me to sing it at our wedding, But there
- 3:52Speaker 1: would have been no way. I wasn't that wasn't that
- 3:56Speaker 1: polished and entertainer to get up in front of all
- 3:58Speaker 1: those guys at the wet Oh my god. And so
- 4:03Speaker 1: she must have just been like, how did you lay
- 4:07Speaker 1: out that you were gonna play the song for her?
- 4:09Speaker 1: What was the scenario? Well, she knew I was meeting
- 4:13Speaker 1: with the guys you know, once a week and just
- 4:15Speaker 1: kind of messing with stuff, and I hadn't really written
- 4:17Speaker 1: anything before, but so I wanted to try and write
- 4:21Speaker 1: something that was both good and very personal. Um, it
- 4:25Speaker 1: turned out to be a little bit better than I thought.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I was just going to present it to her, But uh,
- 4:31Speaker 1: what we did was when we recorded it on all
- 4:33Speaker 1: the tracks, we just put it on a you know,
- 4:36Speaker 1: a little drive and I told her I wanted to
- 4:40Speaker 1: show her something that night when I got home and
- 4:42Speaker 1: just put it in the laptop and let her listen
- 4:44Speaker 1: to it, and she was just kind of overwhelmed by it.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And then a couple of times after that I played
- 4:49Speaker 1: it live and couple of times before that, a couple
- 4:53Speaker 1: of times after that, you got a couple of times.
- 4:55Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Listen, you want to in
- 5:00Speaker 1: a lady over, you gotta write her a song. Hey.
- 5:03Speaker 1: If you write yeah, know that that's a pent right,
- 5:07Speaker 1: You write a good song and even if you write
- 5:09Speaker 1: a bad song, and they'll be overwhelmed. It's so true.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Mm hmm. In my house, I just say to my
- 5:17Speaker 1: wife what do you think, and she just she gives
- 5:22Speaker 1: me the ghost sign or the no sign, and that's
- 5:26Speaker 1: that's that's the extent of the romance right now. Yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 1: this is how my kids are learning about sex. Uh.
- 5:33Speaker 1: The other day, my twelve year old uh was on
- 5:36Speaker 1: like you know, uh uh, what do you call like
- 5:41Speaker 1: a house party? House party is like an app where
- 5:42Speaker 1: they all talk on to each other at the same time,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and they were all daring each other to do stuff
- 5:49Speaker 1: like inappropriate in front of their parents. So my twelve
- 5:53Speaker 1: year old came down and was yelling, Dad, Dad, I
- 5:57Speaker 1: have an erection Jesus. But he had all his kids,
- 6:04Speaker 1: all his buddies on the phone. It was all his
- 6:06Speaker 1: buddies on the phone. I'm like, so, what are you
- 6:09Speaker 1: gonna do with it. Man, kids are just out in
- 6:18Speaker 1: the open now with stuff. I can't even imagine one
- 6:22Speaker 1: of his buddies, that dare was to go into the
- 6:25Speaker 1: kitchen where his mom and older brother were and start
- 6:28Speaker 1: making sex noises. No way did he do it. Did
- 6:35Speaker 1: he get grounded after that? No? The mom looked at
- 6:37Speaker 1: him like, what what are you doing? And the brother
- 6:40Speaker 1: just started laughing hysterically. Hey got to interrupt her real
- 6:49Speaker 1: quick because I'm going to go to seven and a
- 6:51Speaker 1: half on the Browns here as we speak. Okay, right,
- 6:56Speaker 1: we had to wait here about that headline change here.
- 7:00Speaker 1: I had to actually work there for a minute. Here
- 7:03Speaker 1: we go, Well let's get into it. Let's use that
- 7:07Speaker 1: as a transition alright. Uh whoa, that was a crazy
- 7:11Speaker 1: weekend last weekend. One of us went five and one
- 7:13Speaker 1: who could have been? Was it me? I believe it
- 7:16Speaker 1: was the only game I lost last weekend. Was the
- 7:18Speaker 1: first game I was convinced I might win, and um
- 7:22Speaker 1: that was the Dolphins plus seven and a half. I
- 7:26Speaker 1: won every other game, I bet, I can tell you
- 7:28Speaker 1: right now I had hold on last week I had
- 7:33Speaker 1: um Carolina plus six one that I had uh Bears
- 7:38Speaker 1: minus five one that on appreciation for Joe Philbin and
- 7:41Speaker 1: the Bears defense for the sack and then the field
- 7:44Speaker 1: goal with fifteen seconds left. UM I won Tampa Bay
- 7:47Speaker 1: plus eight and a half. Here's the interesting thing for
- 7:50Speaker 1: the middle monster MILLI Monster, I forgot. I had picked
- 7:55Speaker 1: the Ravens minus seven and a half and Pickskin pick
- 7:57Speaker 1: him against my best friend Map. And then on Sunday morning,
- 8:00Speaker 1: I bet the Bucks plus eight and a half. The
- 8:02Speaker 1: only way I win both bets is if that game
- 8:04Speaker 1: wins eight. It landed ate and appreciation to appreciation to
- 8:09Speaker 1: John Harbaugh who when they were on the seven yard
- 8:11Speaker 1: line with two minutes left just took a knee for
- 8:12Speaker 1: the final two minutes. I had the under forty three
- 8:15Speaker 1: on the Giants and Titans. Thank you p J. Walsh
- 8:18Speaker 1: from the Action Network. Down let our free, free, free
- 8:21Speaker 1: app because he convinced me that morning that was the play.
- 8:24Speaker 1: And then I had indeed minus three um in a
- 8:27Speaker 1: shut out of the Cowboys. So there you go, almost
- 8:31Speaker 1: a clean m and I think we we both had
- 8:36Speaker 1: our scootro Let pics as well. We did. We both
- 8:40Speaker 1: hit our scootro Let pics. You had forty nine and
- 8:44Speaker 1: you had the Colts. Yeah right, yep, And we have
- 8:50Speaker 1: both liked the Pittsburgh and the Fort Pittsburgh and yeah,
- 8:54Speaker 1: and the forty Niners. Yeah. I know. Initially you went
- 8:57Speaker 1: with the Bills, though, and you change you change your
- 8:59Speaker 1: mind on that. It was a good thing because I
- 9:01Speaker 1: think that was the only game of the board where
- 9:04Speaker 1: the point spread did not make a difference. So every
- 9:08Speaker 1: game on the board, if the underdog uh covered, they
- 9:12Speaker 1: won the game outright. If the favorite one, the favorite
- 9:14Speaker 1: covered every game except that one totally toats Mick goats. Um.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Let's see on the year. I think I'm doing pretty
- 9:25Speaker 1: well on the year. I think I'm like, I've gotta chat,
- 9:29Speaker 1: I gotta do the math on this. Let's get to
- 9:31Speaker 1: the games. Hold on, I'll try to do the math
- 9:33Speaker 1: on this at the end of it. Uh, but I
- 9:35Speaker 1: think I'm having a pretty good year. I'm all said
- 9:37Speaker 1: and done. Let's talk about the Saturday games. Great one
- 9:40Speaker 1: coming up, Los Angeles Chargers minus four and a half
- 9:43Speaker 1: against said Baltimore Ravens in appreciation. I like the Chargers
- 9:49Speaker 1: minus four and a half. The money is on the Chargers,
- 9:51Speaker 1: the public is on the Chargers. I think they are
- 9:54Speaker 1: so much better than the Ravens. This line is whack yo. Yeah,
- 10:02Speaker 1: we're gonna be on on the highside on this one. Uh.
- 10:04Speaker 1: The only question is, you know, they're the Chargers are
- 10:08Speaker 1: without Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen, so that it may
- 10:13Speaker 1: affect it. Uh you know, they've been trying to get
- 10:16Speaker 1: through without them the last couple of couple of games.
- 10:18Speaker 1: So but but I mean that that finished last week.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It just showed the uh, the grit of this team.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And uh, you know at home now against the against
- 10:29Speaker 1: the Ravens, they need the game. I mean they're still
- 10:33Speaker 1: they they're still just in a dog fight with Casey.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Uh So, so this one's gonna come right down to
- 10:38Speaker 1: the I mean, they're they're they're really gonna be at
- 10:41Speaker 1: the Ravens in this one. And uh, the public is
- 10:44Speaker 1: on them, the the wise guys are on them. I
- 10:46Speaker 1: see the line going up a little bit. Um, I
- 10:48Speaker 1: don't see much support for the Ravens in this one.
- 10:50Speaker 1: I'm surprised you haven't moved the line yet. Yeah, you
- 10:56Speaker 1: know what, don't do it. No no, no, no no
- 10:57Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no,
- 11:00Speaker 1: don't do it. While we're on the phone, Okay, Oh,
- 11:04Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because the podcast isn't coming out till tomorrow.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get this before it's
- 11:08Speaker 1: not gonna be Yeah, all right, are you doing it?
- 11:15Speaker 1: I want to test the waters anyway. I want to see, uh,
- 11:18Speaker 1: I want to see what they do with the five.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Probably nothing, but let's see move it to five. All right,
- 11:28Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans minus ten over the Washington. Can I call
- 11:31Speaker 1: him the Washington Dead Skins yet? Well, they came alive
- 11:36Speaker 1: Sunday or at least one game, and had it not
- 11:41Speaker 1: been for that game, oh totally. But and and I
- 11:46Speaker 1: think the only thing that uh is dissuading the public
- 11:51Speaker 1: from just burying us on Titans money is the fact
- 11:53Speaker 1: that the Redskins did come alive for that for that
- 11:55Speaker 1: one game. So uh, ten is it's just such a
- 11:58Speaker 1: big number for team that uh, you know, typically don't
- 12:02Speaker 1: put up a ton of points. So, um, well, we'll
- 12:05Speaker 1: still end up needing the Redskins for a little bit.
- 12:07Speaker 1: With the two games on Saturday, it'll just be favorite
- 12:10Speaker 1: too favorite and parlay's and teasers and everything. So we'll
- 12:13Speaker 1: still end up needing the Redskins. But it's hard to
- 12:16Speaker 1: go much higher than than than ten in this one.
- 12:19Speaker 1: A lot of money on the Skins right now, we
- 12:22Speaker 1: got a little, a little sharp money, but not not
- 12:25Speaker 1: a lot. And and with us the ticket account isn't
- 12:28Speaker 1: really overwhelming on on the Titans. Like I said, had
- 12:32Speaker 1: had the Redskins gotten blown out again, I think you
- 12:35Speaker 1: know that this line would would have been a little
- 12:37Speaker 1: bit higher and we would have seen a lot more
- 12:39Speaker 1: money on the Titans. But it just takes one week
- 12:42Speaker 1: of somebody seeing a game that just kind of puts
- 12:46Speaker 1: a little doubt in their mind. And uh, that's the
- 12:48Speaker 1: case here, Scar. We're gonna take a break to talk
- 12:51Speaker 1: about robin Hood. That's an investing app that lets you
- 12:54Speaker 1: buy and sell stocks, et f s, options, and cryptos

- 14:04Speaker 1: dot robin hood dot com. Let's get back to the show.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Let's talk about the NFC North champion Chicago Bears three
- 14:13Speaker 1: and a half point favorites on the road against the
- 14:16Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners. You know what's interesting. Last week
- 14:21Speaker 1: I was so sure of the Niners, so so sure.
- 14:25Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was the spot or
- 14:27Speaker 1: the fact they were playing a division rival, or that
- 14:29Speaker 1: you know, they had some had some evidence that they
- 14:32Speaker 1: could perform well against the Seahawks, I don't like him
- 14:34Speaker 1: as much against the Bears in the same exact spot. Um,
- 14:38Speaker 1: with that number, I agree with you. And and we
- 14:42Speaker 1: actually opened, uh four and a half, and we went
- 14:46Speaker 1: down to three and a half off of some some
- 14:50Speaker 1: sharp plays early, but then it just went completely back
- 14:53Speaker 1: up the other way. Um, we're back up to four.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I went to four just before do in the show
- 15:00Speaker 1: here went back up to four, and I could see
- 15:03Speaker 1: this line going up with ticket count wise, you know,
- 15:06Speaker 1: take the sharp guys out of the out of the
- 15:07Speaker 1: mix for a second. And this is the most lopsided
- 15:10Speaker 1: game on the board in terms of percentages of bets.
- 15:14Speaker 1: It's just overwhelming, like fifteen to one Bears to forty nine.
- 15:19Speaker 1: So I think everybody feels forty. Niners had their big
- 15:22Speaker 1: upset last week with Seattle to pull out to giant
- 15:26Speaker 1: upsets back to back, but against this team, which is
- 15:30Speaker 1: arguably one of the most improved teams, it's gonna be
- 15:34Speaker 1: a tall task. It's gonna be all this will be
- 15:36Speaker 1: our biggest game of the board. This is the only thing.
- 15:42Speaker 1: What's that they just won the division, so there's not
- 15:46Speaker 1: a lot of incentive. Maybe some incentive for placement in
- 15:51Speaker 1: UM in the conference, but I think it's gonna be
- 15:54Speaker 1: a hard task for them to get the two seed. Uh.
- 15:59Speaker 1: And they lost Eddie Jackson, and I think that's a big,
- 16:03Speaker 1: big problem for the Bears going forward. Yeah, legitimate concerns.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And uh, I don't I don't like needing the Niners
- 16:13Speaker 1: in this spot. But uh, like I said, I'm gonna
- 16:17Speaker 1: be quick to move it back up. I thought I
- 16:18Speaker 1: opened it on the high side. Uh, and I'm gonna
- 16:21Speaker 1: be quick to move it even higher. I know there's
- 16:24Speaker 1: some three and a half still out there, so at
- 16:26Speaker 1: minus four we're one of the highest. But I'm gonna
- 16:28Speaker 1: be quick to move it back up. Streak in Cleveland.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Streak in Cleveland, the Brown seven and a half point
- 16:35Speaker 1: favorites against the Bungles. Yeah. I thought for sure when
- 16:40Speaker 1: we put up seven that that would be about as
- 16:42Speaker 1: high as we could go on this one. And like
- 16:44Speaker 1: I said at the top of this show, I just
- 16:46Speaker 1: went to seven and a half. We were just getting
- 16:48Speaker 1: some pretty big money from the sharp guys on Cleveland.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Once again, we talked about the last couple of weeks,
- 16:54Speaker 1: they've just been the wise guys have loved him they
- 16:58Speaker 1: loved him even during the Owen sixty in year, so
- 17:01Speaker 1: then no reason to get off from now. At some
- 17:04Speaker 1: point they're just gonna be laying too much though, and
- 17:06Speaker 1: the and the value's got to be out of them
- 17:07Speaker 1: by now. But uh, seven and a half, that's that's
- 17:11Speaker 1: quite a bit for the Browns. Massive. I love this team, though,
- 17:14Speaker 1: I can see why they're on them for entirely different
- 17:16Speaker 1: reasons these days. Kay, if you want to expand on that, well,
- 17:24Speaker 1: I guess that will. I mean you said, the Wise
- 17:26Speaker 1: guys have always loved the Browns. It used to be
- 17:28Speaker 1: they love the Browns because they were so in theory
- 17:32Speaker 1: undervalued compared to who they were playing, because you knew
- 17:36Speaker 1: the public was going to be all over whoever the
- 17:38Speaker 1: Browns played. Now they're on the wise. The wise guys
- 17:41Speaker 1: are on it because the Browns are actually pretty good
- 17:43Speaker 1: and there's probably still a little bit of some correction
- 17:47Speaker 1: to be had by the bookmakers because of their record
- 17:50Speaker 1: and sort of because of where you had the Browns
- 17:52Speaker 1: rated when the season began. It's hard to sort of
- 17:55Speaker 1: adjust them as quickly as you would like, as you've
- 17:58Speaker 1: taught me, um so I that's why you're still getting
- 18:00Speaker 1: wise Guy Brown's money, well said, well done. I like it,
- 18:06Speaker 1: unlike you. I listen on the podcast and Jenny, Yeah, yeah,
- 18:15Speaker 1: New England Patriots are two basically two touchdown favorites over
- 18:18Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills thirteen points. I don't know, brother, Yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 1: at first glance, it looks like a lot of points,
- 18:31Speaker 1: and the Patriots aren't the same dominant Patriots team we've
- 18:34Speaker 1: seen in years past. But Buffalo has just been so
- 18:38Speaker 1: erratic as we we've seen, winning straight up as double
- 18:42Speaker 1: digit underdogs before the season and being competitive in some
- 18:47Speaker 1: games getting blown out in others. Uh. So, we opened
- 18:51Speaker 1: what we thought was high thirteen and the first couple
- 18:54Speaker 1: of bets out of the gate were plus the thirteen
- 18:57Speaker 1: and we're down to twelve and a half now. It
- 18:59Speaker 1: was all sharp money on the bills. Uh The ticket
- 19:01Speaker 1: accounts about three to one at least at our places.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Uh three three on the Patriots for everyone on the bills.
- 19:10Speaker 1: So um, the public is still gonna be laying this number,
- 19:13Speaker 1: but the big money's on the Bills, and I would
- 19:17Speaker 1: suspect that it stays that way, especially in the last
- 19:20Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I don't think I've ever seen so
- 19:23Speaker 1: many double digit underdogs winning the game straight up in
- 19:26Speaker 1: one season, much less on the last two or three weeks.
- 19:30Speaker 1: So I think the public is very aware of that
- 19:32Speaker 1: as well. So it's gonna give them a little pause
- 19:34Speaker 1: before laying twelve and a half or thirteen on almost
- 19:37Speaker 1: any game. Yeah, for sure, I'll probably be in the
- 19:40Speaker 1: bills if I play it. Maybe i'll avoid it. Tell
- 19:45Speaker 1: you what else I'm avoiding. The Indianapolis Colts is nine
- 19:48Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against the Giants. Yeah, this
- 19:52Speaker 1: was one of the games where we had probably the
- 19:54Speaker 1: biggest adjustment off of just one week. You know, normally
- 19:57Speaker 1: we don't make big adjustments with out an injury, but uh,
- 20:02Speaker 1: just the dominance of the Colts in the last game,
- 20:05Speaker 1: we know it's going to weigh on the public's mind
- 20:07Speaker 1: a little bit. So you know, once you get past
- 20:09Speaker 1: I mean, the true line on this one should really
- 20:12Speaker 1: be in the seven and a half eight range, so
- 20:15Speaker 1: about a point and a half higher than probably what
- 20:17Speaker 1: it should be, and we're already seeing indications that it's
- 20:20Speaker 1: a little on the high side. Got some wise guy
- 20:23Speaker 1: plays on the Giants. Not really enough to move it yet,
- 20:27Speaker 1: but I see this line coming down to nine eight
- 20:30Speaker 1: and a half as bad as the Giants are. Uh,
- 20:34Speaker 1: it's still a lot of points, uh for the Giants
- 20:36Speaker 1: to be getting. But is there But then again, we
- 20:39Speaker 1: know what's that go ahead and you go. I was
- 20:41Speaker 1: just gonna say. The public we know is gonna be
- 20:43Speaker 1: on on the Colts though, especially after that performance last week,
- 20:46Speaker 1: and we can see it already in some of the
- 20:48Speaker 1: parlays and the ticket account. Is there anything statistically that
- 20:53Speaker 1: makes you look at this game and say it's overvalued
- 20:55Speaker 1: or is it purely a public perception number? Just a
- 21:01Speaker 1: public perception in terms of the betting patterns of the
- 21:04Speaker 1: two teams the last couple of weeks, they've been betting
- 21:06Speaker 1: against the Giants every week. They've been betting on the
- 21:08Speaker 1: Colts every week. Uh So if the if the raw
- 21:11Speaker 1: number is eight, you know there's going to be a
- 21:13Speaker 1: slight inflation knowing that they're gonna be betting against the
- 21:16Speaker 1: Giants and on the Colts. So it's that that's really
- 21:19Speaker 1: the only the only adjustment there for the only reason
- 21:23Speaker 1: for the adjustment. Next game is interesting. There's been some
- 21:25Speaker 1: speculation this line has moved wildly. It opened green Bay
- 21:30Speaker 1: minus three and a half. Now it's Jets minus two
- 21:32Speaker 1: and a half speculation Aaron Rodgers won't play. Why did
- 21:36Speaker 1: this number move? Well, that that was it, and we
- 21:40Speaker 1: actually have it off the board right now and be
- 21:42Speaker 1: until we're we get a little bit more accurate information.
- 21:45Speaker 1: So that the big move was obviously on the news
- 21:48Speaker 1: that he might miss with the groin injury, and uh
- 21:53Speaker 1: so just playing it on the safe side for now.
- 21:54Speaker 1: We've got plenty of time to kind of make adjustments
- 21:57Speaker 1: and put it back up. But we already got hit
- 21:58Speaker 1: on the Jets a couple a couple of bets um
- 22:01Speaker 1: that that caused the move, and we tried to move
- 22:04Speaker 1: it aggressively, but um, we're just gonna keep it off
- 22:07Speaker 1: for now. Groin injury, good, groin injury. That's a tough one.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? Do you know
- 22:18Speaker 1: what I'm talking about now? Is that a movie? Oh
- 22:20Speaker 1: my god, it's it's from a sitcom from about forty
- 22:24Speaker 1: years ago called Cheers and Ted Danson who played a
- 22:29Speaker 1: bartender and an old picture for the Red Sox. Uh
- 22:34Speaker 1: he ran the bar and he was famous in Boston
- 22:38Speaker 1: and he took a job as a sportscaster and one
- 22:41Speaker 1: night on the air, he did a rap and was
- 22:44Speaker 1: talking about a player being out because of a groin injury,
- 22:47Speaker 1: and he's like, he's out because of a groin injury.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Good groin injury. I watched that show religiously and I
- 22:56Speaker 1: just for some reason, I don't remember that episode, but
- 23:00Speaker 1: sounds like I could, I could picture it. I think
- 23:02Speaker 1: you'd like it. Uh. How did the Minnesota Vikings become
- 23:05Speaker 1: a five and a half point favorite in any game
- 23:08Speaker 1: at this point here? Well, I guess they just did
- 23:09Speaker 1: have a nice wing against the Dolphins. So yeah, it's
- 23:12Speaker 1: funny how just one game can do that. And that's
- 23:14Speaker 1: when I'm saying that recent recency bias, especially if it's
- 23:19Speaker 1: a dominant win and you try to not to take
- 23:21Speaker 1: too much into account, but you know the fact that
- 23:23Speaker 1: the Lions really uh didn't look good as as well
- 23:27Speaker 1: as uh, you know, makes it an adjustment on both sides. So, uh,
- 23:32Speaker 1: we were We know the public is going to be
- 23:34Speaker 1: laying this five and a half. They already are, so
- 23:36Speaker 1: it seems like the right number. We've got a few
- 23:39Speaker 1: bets from some guys that we respect on the Lions,
- 23:42Speaker 1: so this will be one of those games where the
- 23:44Speaker 1: the sharp guys will take the home dog and the
- 23:47Speaker 1: public lay the favorite. Wait the favorite? That was a
- 23:52Speaker 1: good book. There was a book called lay the Favorite.
- 23:54Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Yeah. Uh that curse both of those teams,
- 24:00Speaker 1: the Lions and the Vikings two weeks left. I just
- 24:04Speaker 1: can't see myself wanting to get involved with either of
- 24:05Speaker 1: those teams the rest of the season. Houston Philadelphia, however, Yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 1: great matchup. This line's moved up opened to pick Eagles
- 24:19Speaker 1: minus one and a half. Yeah. Them. We have more
- 24:23Speaker 1: money on this game than any game on the board
- 24:25Speaker 1: so far this week. Like, like you said, we opened
- 24:27Speaker 1: pick went up to one and a half, and I
- 24:30Speaker 1: could understand, uh, how the move in terms of how
- 24:33Speaker 1: how good Phillies looked. Um with I mean even with
- 24:37Speaker 1: with Nick Cole nick Foles at quarterback. I mean they
- 24:40Speaker 1: actually looked better, So uh why not? We saw the
- 24:44Speaker 1: same thing happened at the end of last year and
- 24:46Speaker 1: led him to a Super Bowl. So um, I understand
- 24:50Speaker 1: the move that the public is pretty well divided on
- 24:53Speaker 1: this one. I mean, we have the exact same amount
- 24:55Speaker 1: of bets on both sides. It's just that the sharp
- 24:57Speaker 1: guys obviously like Philly in this one and drove the
- 25:00Speaker 1: lineup I want to play used in this game, do
- 25:05Speaker 1: you well, I think you'll probably see a two and
- 25:07Speaker 1: a half. Um. I don't know that it will quite
- 25:09Speaker 1: get to three, but um, it looks like it's going
- 25:12Speaker 1: in one direction. The story of my life? Was that
- 25:19Speaker 1: a song by one direction? Yeah? Okay, Dallas Cowboys seven
- 25:25Speaker 1: point favorite without Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, nobody likes the
- 25:31Speaker 1: Bucks anymore, and I can understand why. Boy, that was
- 25:34Speaker 1: the game that you uh you got the middle of
- 25:36Speaker 1: last week. Huh Chad Middleman monster? Uh no support for
- 25:43Speaker 1: the Bucket Buccaneers whatsoever? So, um, minus seven we think
- 25:48Speaker 1: is probably a solid number. It'll take uh some pretty
- 25:51Speaker 1: big bets to get us off of this number. Uh,
- 25:55Speaker 1: we don't want to get middled again. And then the
- 25:57Speaker 1: Buccaneers seemed like they're the team to cause us the
- 25:59Speaker 1: most problems with the medals. It's true. You know why.
- 26:04Speaker 1: They're swashbucklers. They're looking to steal your money. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 26:11Speaker 1: I did that. I did that right there. Mm hmm.
- 26:15Speaker 1: It's pretty clever. All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's time
- 26:19Speaker 1: to officially officially announced what I've been teasing on the podcast.

- 27:38Speaker 1: you can also keep adding me at Chad Millman on
- 27:40Speaker 1: Twitter and I'll just individually add you to the list. Scooch,
- 27:45Speaker 1: let's get back to business. I'm curious about this Atlanta
- 27:49Speaker 1: Carolina game because it opened it three and a half.
- 27:52Speaker 1: It's been bent down to two and a half. Why
- 27:54Speaker 1: is all the wise guy money coming in on Carolina?
- 27:57Speaker 1: It makes no sense, I mean coming in on Atlanta
- 27:59Speaker 1: make no sense to me. Well, I mean they did
- 28:03Speaker 1: upgrade Julio Jones to be probable, and I think initially,
- 28:07Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that he'd actually cause it.
- 28:10Speaker 1: It's part of the part of the move. But uh,
- 28:14Speaker 1: I think possibly they didn't like what they saw in Carolina,
- 28:20Speaker 1: uh Monday night against against the Saints. Um, I know
- 28:25Speaker 1: you're just not high on this Falcons team, but uh,
- 28:28Speaker 1: I think I give them a lot more credit than
- 28:30Speaker 1: than you do. Why give me a reason why? Well,
- 28:36Speaker 1: especially if Julio Jones is uh is healthy and playing.
- 28:39Speaker 1: He's just he's just a monster. Well, I'm not going
- 28:41Speaker 1: to bet him less than a field goal. I wouldn't know.
- 28:45Speaker 1: I wouldn't play him at two and a half. But
- 28:46Speaker 1: but like I said, this season that the point spread
- 28:49Speaker 1: almost doesn't matter. I don't think there's ever been a
- 28:51Speaker 1: season like this where they're less percentage, where the percentages
- 28:55Speaker 1: of games that the point spreads don't matter are are
- 28:58Speaker 1: as you know, high as this year. That is an
- 29:02Speaker 1: interesting conversation, That is an interesting one to have. I
- 29:07Speaker 1: am going to look into details on that. You should,
- 29:10Speaker 1: because I've I've never seen it. I mean, even with
- 29:13Speaker 1: such big favorites. Um, the you know, a team that's
- 29:17Speaker 1: laying sixteen, they either win by sixteen or the dog
- 29:20Speaker 1: wins straight up. You would think that those are the
- 29:22Speaker 1: games that you would have the most occurrences of a
- 29:25Speaker 1: team winning and not covering. And yet it's so it's
- 29:29Speaker 1: almost the opposite. Yeah, it's so interesting. Um, all right, Miami,
- 29:37Speaker 1: it's a four point favorite over the Jacksonville Jaguars and
- 29:39Speaker 1: the money is coming in on the jagus look a
- 29:44Speaker 1: little bit, um not so much with us, A very
- 29:46Speaker 1: little action on this game. I think this is the
- 29:49Speaker 1: least bet game on the board, at least for us. Anyway,
- 29:51Speaker 1: Oh no, I see one at the very bottom there.
- 29:54Speaker 1: It looks like we got a corner TV game. Yeah. Yeah,
- 30:00Speaker 1: it's hard to get excited about either one of these teams.
- 30:02Speaker 1: But Dolphins we have at four and a half, and
- 30:05Speaker 1: like you said, there's more money on the Dolphins, but
- 30:07Speaker 1: it's not compared to some of the other games. It's
- 30:09Speaker 1: not a lot. That game's crap. Uh. This other game though,
- 30:14Speaker 1: there's the last. I'd say three of the last four
- 30:18Speaker 1: games are really interesting to me. It's m It's where
- 30:22Speaker 1: I might want to spend some of my money this weekend.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are fourteen point dogs at home against the
- 30:29Speaker 1: reeling Rams, and right now the majority of the money,
- 30:34Speaker 1: very small volume is coming in on Arizona. I'm not
- 30:38Speaker 1: saying the majority that bets the majority of the money.
- 30:41Speaker 1: So I got some wise guy action on the Cardinals.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Not surprising double two touchdown home dog makes sense, It's
- 30:49Speaker 1: what the book tells you to play. Rams are reeling,
- 30:52Speaker 1: though you go, I mean, you go all the way
- 30:55Speaker 1: back to October when when the Rams played Green Bay
- 30:59Speaker 1: and they beat Green made by two. I think that
- 31:02Speaker 1: was the beginning of the fall from the dominance of
- 31:07Speaker 1: I don't think they've covered, uh that they might have
- 31:10Speaker 1: covered one game since then. And if you look at
- 31:13Speaker 1: like the last three, losing straight up to Philly as
- 31:17Speaker 1: a double digit favorite, losing to Chicago is a four
- 31:20Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. Um, I think they might
- 31:23Speaker 1: have gotten to cover against the Lions as like a
- 31:25Speaker 1: ten point favorite, and and that, and even in that
- 31:27Speaker 1: game it looked like the Lions were gonna cover. But
- 31:30Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about almost two months of not covering.
- 31:35Speaker 1: So had they playing any other team and you'd say, yeah,
- 31:38Speaker 1: it's an automatic take, you know, double digits at home.
- 31:41Speaker 1: It's just that the Cardinals are just so bad. Yeah,
- 31:44Speaker 1: the Rams are reeling, but the Cardinals, Cardinals are just
- 31:47Speaker 1: really bad. But having said no, no, they just can't. Uh,
- 31:53Speaker 1: we've got them ranked of the worst team in the
- 31:56Speaker 1: NFL right now and um, and they're playing up to it.
- 32:01Speaker 1: But having said that, I still think you have to
- 32:04Speaker 1: just play the percentages and take and take the points. Uh.
- 32:07Speaker 1: You know, I think with with a lot of the
- 32:09Speaker 1: teams that were so dominant at the beginning of the year,
- 32:12Speaker 1: you take the Rams the Chiefs, the Saints, all those
- 32:15Speaker 1: teams that just look like they could score it well
- 32:17Speaker 1: and they were just so dominant on offense. Something happened
- 32:20Speaker 1: around midway or week nine, week ten, where where defenses
- 32:25Speaker 1: pick up on certain things and figure out a game
- 32:27Speaker 1: plan uh that that can stop the offense. And then
- 32:30Speaker 1: if it works in one game, then the other coaches
- 32:33Speaker 1: kind of pick up on that and they realize what works.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Uh so they might take you know, for the Rams,
- 32:39Speaker 1: they might look at the how the how the Saints
- 32:41Speaker 1: beat them, and then they'll say, Okay, what did the
- 32:43Speaker 1: Saints do defensively to stop them? You know, did they
- 32:46Speaker 1: uh take away the passing lanes by golf by you know,
- 32:51Speaker 1: not not focusing on the run and um and whatever
- 32:54Speaker 1: they do. You look at each one of those two
- 32:57Speaker 1: three teams, the Rams, the Chiefs in the Saint and
- 33:00Speaker 1: offensively in the last five weeks, they were nowhere near
- 33:03Speaker 1: what they were at the beginning of the season. Listen,
- 33:07Speaker 1: the defenses in the NFL, they make adjustments. Um. But
- 33:10Speaker 1: I also think what that does for betters huge opportunities.
- 33:15Speaker 1: You've seen it with this, You've seen it with the
- 33:18Speaker 1: Saints the past few weeks too. Right, Like I have
- 33:21Speaker 1: made bank betting against the Saints, bank betting against the Rams.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Like it's been glorious to try to see the market
- 33:30Speaker 1: try to keep up with what was happening with the
- 33:33Speaker 1: Rams and the Saints knowing that they've been found out. Yes,
- 33:38Speaker 1: the Saints, I think the last three games, I think
- 33:41Speaker 1: they scored a total of nine points in just in
- 33:44Speaker 1: the first halfs they're they're they're struggling just out of
- 33:47Speaker 1: the gate. They're making adjustments in the second half, and
- 33:50Speaker 1: they're getting the winds. But I mean going back to
- 33:54Speaker 1: the Dallas game where they scored zero points in the
- 33:56Speaker 1: first half, Tampa Bay they only scored three points in
- 33:59Speaker 1: the first half, and and Monday night against Carolina they
- 34:03Speaker 1: only scored six points. So obviously there there's some defenses
- 34:06Speaker 1: that figured something out and then uh, they're making the
- 34:10Speaker 1: Saints are making adjustments to come back in the second half.
- 34:13Speaker 1: That's said the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Saints six point underdogs.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Money coming in on the Steelers. I am going to
- 34:23Speaker 1: bet the Saints as soon as this number continues to
- 34:27Speaker 1: go down. And I'm with you on that one. I
- 34:31Speaker 1: We've already moved it down. We're down to five and
- 34:33Speaker 1: a half on the game. Uh, we saw some money
- 34:36Speaker 1: coming in after Monday night when I guess, uh, just
- 34:40Speaker 1: not a not a whole lot of confidence in that
- 34:42Speaker 1: Saints team. They got the win against Carolina, but you know,
- 34:45Speaker 1: the public remembers what they saw last and UM didn't
- 34:49Speaker 1: give him a whole lot of confidence, uh to to
- 34:51Speaker 1: lay six points on New Orleans. So they they're taking Pittsburgh.
- 34:54Speaker 1: So the public's gonna take Pittsburgh in this one. Um,
- 34:58Speaker 1: But I agree with you, it gets down a little too.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Oh and I think the Saints at home is going
- 35:02Speaker 1: to be a little a little bit different story. Um,
- 35:06Speaker 1: how long do you think this game is gonna go? Uh?
- 35:11Speaker 1: I think I mean, barring an injury, probably down to five.
- 35:14Speaker 1: And you know, and I have to something from last week.
- 35:18Speaker 1: I remember saying that the Rams will never go above ten. Uh.
- 35:22Speaker 1: But against the Eagles last week, and and then the
- 35:26Speaker 1: game went up to fourteen, but that was because Carson
- 35:28Speaker 1: Wentz was out. So so barring an injury, I don't
- 35:33Speaker 1: I think it'll go down to about five, all right,
- 35:38Speaker 1: So I'll be taking the Saints eventually in this maybe
- 35:40Speaker 1: four and a half. You might lay four and a
- 35:42Speaker 1: half four and a half. I'll take that. This next
- 35:44Speaker 1: game Kansas City at Seattle, Kansas City two and a
- 35:48Speaker 1: halfway your favorite. Here's what's interesting to me right now.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Seattle plus one fift boom. Look at book it done?
- 35:59Speaker 1: Yeah you like that too, right? I love it? Yeah.
- 36:03Speaker 1: I mean Seattle really a team that's kind of flown
- 36:07Speaker 1: under the radar with regards to handicapping. I mean some
- 36:10Speaker 1: of the games that they lost, uh they played played
- 36:13Speaker 1: the Rams twice and they lost by a total of
- 36:16Speaker 1: about seven points thirty three thirty one and one of them.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Uh they so they covered I want to say seven
- 36:23Speaker 1: out of the last ten or eleven games they covered.
- 36:25Speaker 1: These games were on the other side of the ball there.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Kansas City their last five games, they haven't covered once.
- 36:33Speaker 1: So you've got two teams like again, and this goes
- 36:37Speaker 1: back to how dominant Kansas City was at the beginning
- 36:39Speaker 1: of the year and the week by week adjustment with
- 36:41Speaker 1: these lines going up and up and up, and then
- 36:43Speaker 1: the correction comes in and you look at their last
- 36:45Speaker 1: five games and they haven't covered once. So this is
- 36:48Speaker 1: a perfect spot for Seattle. But I don't even see
- 36:52Speaker 1: it as a spot where um I expect Seattle to cover,
- 36:58Speaker 1: like I expect them to win. Yeah, I mean yeah
- 37:02Speaker 1: two and a half. I mean it's the point spread
- 37:05Speaker 1: really isn't in play here. Uh, you know we've been
- 37:07Speaker 1: talking about right, but but yeah, absolutely go for the win.
- 37:11Speaker 1: I think I'm going to go for the win the
- 37:13Speaker 1: money line, I mean, why not. Yeah, that's it feels
- 37:17Speaker 1: like that's the right side to me. I think it's
- 37:20Speaker 1: a let down spot and I I think the Chargers
- 37:23Speaker 1: are gonna win the a f C West move Wow yea, Well,
- 37:28Speaker 1: it's all comes down to the game that this Ravens games. No, No,
- 37:34Speaker 1: you're totally right, right. I got lost here for a
- 37:37Speaker 1: second because if I were allegedly to bet right now,
- 37:40Speaker 1: I would look for the Saints and the Steelers, But
- 37:43Speaker 1: for some reason I can't find that game, which is weird. Um,
- 37:50Speaker 1: they might have it off the board. I mean, depending
- 37:53Speaker 1: on where you're why is it not on the board? Yeah,
- 37:57Speaker 1: because of James Conner is still a question mark. So
- 38:00Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of places are staying on
- 38:02Speaker 1: the safe side, and until they get more information on him,
- 38:06Speaker 1: he's still listened as questionable. All right, Well, one of
- 38:09Speaker 1: us allegedly just made a bet on the Seattle Seahawks
- 38:14Speaker 1: to win on the money line. Yeah, your attention please,
- 38:19Speaker 1: Chad is making a bet allegedly. Ill did it. I
- 38:26Speaker 1: did it. It's like, you know, like if you got
- 38:29Speaker 1: a kid and he goes poop in his pants and
- 38:31Speaker 1: look up and be like, I did it. I might
- 38:36Speaker 1: have just pooped in my pants. That's what this show's
- 38:40Speaker 1: regrets to talk about sex and pooping and pants. By
- 38:44Speaker 1: the way, some of the most popular podcasts in the
- 38:47Speaker 1: world are about sex and poop. We might be more
- 38:51Speaker 1: popular if we talked about sex and poop instead of betting.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Oh man, if all we did was write ballads for
- 39:01Speaker 1: jan talk about the post ballot sex and then making
- 39:05Speaker 1: nice poops, this would be like comported podcast of all time.
- 39:10Speaker 1: This would be the podcast for everybody. Would it be
- 39:15Speaker 1: some nice, niche little podcast. We'd be mass market Yeah, step,
- 39:24Speaker 1: you gotta talk about like the Broncos and the Raiders,
- 39:26Speaker 1: which no one gives a funk about. No that This
- 39:29Speaker 1: was the other game I was talking about when I
- 39:31Speaker 1: was saying that the Jaguars Dolphins was the least bet game.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Now this one is by far. This is like a
- 39:37Speaker 1: ship a ship sandwich on Monday night, Christmas Eve. How
- 39:41Speaker 1: many people on Christmas Eve are going to be glued
- 39:43Speaker 1: to the TV watching this one? Yeah, it's ridiculous. Um,
- 39:50Speaker 1: So Scoots, we have a lot to talk about right now. Um.
- 39:55Speaker 1: First off, we gotta do some scoocher let. All right, Yeah,
- 40:07Speaker 1: I'm going first, go ahead, mm hmm. I'll take the Seahawks.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, all right, Well that was one of
- 40:18Speaker 1: them I liked. I can't go with the Bears because
- 40:23Speaker 1: the lines already I've already adjusted it back up. But
- 40:27Speaker 1: I do think those sharp guys are right on the Eagles.
- 40:30Speaker 1: And I know you like the Texans, but I think
- 40:32Speaker 1: the Eagles, with that only laying one and a half
- 40:36Speaker 1: the way they're playing, that that's the one i'd go with. Uh,
- 40:42Speaker 1: I can accept that. I appreciate you for saying that. Um,
- 40:48Speaker 1: I like the Saints. I'm gonna take him on the spread,
- 40:49Speaker 1: not the money line, just because why not get the
- 40:51Speaker 1: points for some scooch roulette. I'll bet them on the
- 40:53Speaker 1: money line for real money, But in scooch your lett,
- 40:55Speaker 1: I want the cushion. Uh, listen, we all go. Also
- 40:57Speaker 1: got to tell people that next week we're gonna be off.
- 41:01Speaker 1: So do not look for a podcast, because otherwise, like
- 41:04Speaker 1: we'd be recording on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and
- 41:07Speaker 1: that's no good for you. And uh, nobody's going to
- 41:10Speaker 1: listen to a podcast. And I don't want to get
