- 1:13Speaker 1: closer to football, which we've got preseason already here. We're
- 1:17Speaker 1: closer to it means more football here as we move
- 1:20Speaker 1: into Friday.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I am happy to be on Jake, Thanks
- 1:25Speaker 2: for having me. Yes, preseason football is here. And listen, Jake,
- 1:30Speaker 2: I wanted I got a couple of things I wanted
- 1:32Speaker 2: to let you listeners know, remind them of no other
- 1:37Speaker 2: time in the preseason. Right. So you're gonna get some ties. Right.
- 1:43Speaker 2: So if you're getting plus the point, take the point.
- 1:47Speaker 2: See what I mean? If you're plus one and a half,
- 1:50Speaker 2: take the point and a half. And another good reason
- 1:52Speaker 2: to take because you know a lot of guys, what's
- 1:55Speaker 2: the point, I'll go money line, I'll get more money.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Another good reason is, Jake, let's say it's seventy. Team
- 2:02Speaker 2: scores and makes the seventeen sixteen. Hey, good goal for two.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Maybe in the regular season they might kick in an
- 2:08Speaker 2: extra point and go to overtime, but in in preseason,
- 2:13Speaker 2: you want to see team going for two. So just
- 2:16Speaker 2: wanted to let your listeners know those little points that they.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Had a good nugget to give people. You forget about that,
- 2:24Speaker 1: or I forget about that. As you said, there's no overtime,
- 2:26Speaker 1: so and it gives teams a chance to work on
- 2:28Speaker 1: things like two point conversions, something that you know they
- 2:31Speaker 1: obviously might have to do in a certain down and
- 2:33Speaker 1: distant situation or excuse me, a situational situation in a
- 2:36Speaker 1: football game, last two minutes of a ball game. Maybe
- 2:39Speaker 1: they're trying to catch up. So you're absolutely right about that, Keith.
- 2:43Speaker 1: You know you've seen some good performances for some young quarterbacks.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Carson Beck early with the Cardinals, he didn't play yesterday.
- 2:49Speaker 1: You look at Mendoza last night. You know there may
- 2:52Speaker 1: be you know, I don't want to say some some
- 2:54Speaker 1: decent youth in the quarterback class. But you know, so far,
- 2:57Speaker 1: at least it's promising. We'll see what these guys do
- 2:59Speaker 1: moving forward.
- 3:01Speaker 2: And those are great, Jake. I just state he looks fantastic. Now, Yes,
- 3:08Speaker 2: guy's gonna say, hey, going against the second team. Look
- 3:12Speaker 2: but and but he's got second team he's on inside.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Tell her you know what, it's not that he looks good.
- 3:18Speaker 2: He looks fantastic. Yes, So yeah, Jake, Uh, you're right,
- 3:22Speaker 2: some young talent out there. And hey, oh I got
- 3:25Speaker 2: a place for tonight now, Jake, you know, I'm good
- 3:29Speaker 2: at telling people how to bet, not necessarily great and
- 3:33Speaker 2: telling him who to bet home, but I gotta play.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I love tonight, Jake. I love the Broncos tonight. You
- 3:40Speaker 2: know Atlanta does the team to show up in the preseason.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I believe Denver does. Uh and Seawan Payton likes to win.
- 3:51Speaker 2: So uh yeah, Jake, I want to say I'm hot,
- 3:55Speaker 2: But I caught a couple last night. One am, I
- 4:00Speaker 2: was the Titans that wound up being a push. It
- 4:03Speaker 2: was because it was five and a half and wind
- 4:05Speaker 2: up going all the way to seven. But I caught
- 4:08Speaker 2: it at six and that's where the final was nineteen thirteen.
- 4:12Speaker 2: The other one that I had was the Chargers, and
- 4:15Speaker 2: so you know, I gotta say Pod likes to win,
- 4:21Speaker 2: you know. But tonight my play, Jake is the Denver
- 4:25Speaker 2: Broncos minus three and a half. Any thoughts on that?
- 4:29Speaker 1: No, Hey, I like it. And but you know the
- 4:31Speaker 1: thing is is how long we know this with preseason games?
- 4:33Speaker 1: Is how long this early portion of the juncture of
- 4:36Speaker 1: the preseason schedule did these starters play? You know a
- 4:39Speaker 1: lot of backups. You know, look, I think Sean Payton's
- 4:41Speaker 1: done a great job with that organization. And you know,
- 4:44Speaker 1: when you kind of look forward, excuse me into the
- 4:47Speaker 1: regular season. I mean, you're talking about the Chargers, you're
- 4:49Speaker 1: talking about the Broncos. Two teams to play in the
- 4:51Speaker 1: same division with the Chiefs. Who do you like in
- 4:54Speaker 1: that division? Because obviously the Chiefs trying to rebound off
- 4:56Speaker 1: last year, the Broncos trying to get back to where
- 4:58Speaker 1: they were, And look, Jim Harb, you're two trying to,
- 5:01Speaker 1: excuse me, continue to move that program as a contender.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Well, Jacob, I like the Chargers.
- 5:08Speaker 4: I do, but I will say this for Week one,
- 5:11Speaker 4: I like the Chiefs Uh, there's a system if if
- 5:15Speaker 4: a team got swept by a team in.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Their same division and they meet them in Week one,
- 5:21Speaker 2: they got swept the previous year, they covered like a
- 5:23Speaker 2: seventy clip and the Chiefs to play in the Broncos
- 5:27Speaker 2: Week one. And so as much as I do like
- 5:30Speaker 2: the Broncos, I'm liking the Chiefs week one, that is,
- 5:33Speaker 2: but I like the Charges to win the division, which
- 5:37Speaker 2: couldn't can't rule out Kansas City, and you can't ruin
- 5:40Speaker 2: out Denver. I appreciate you can rule out the Raiders, though.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Visit with Keith Hardy, sportsbook manager at AmeriStar Casino Friday
- 5:48Speaker 1: edition of the program. I want you to go by
- 5:50Speaker 1: and see if you have a lot of lines out
- 5:51Speaker 1: on Week one. Already Saints, Uh, they're already a touchdown
- 5:55Speaker 1: underdog at Detroit. You were mentioning some of these you
- 5:59Speaker 1: know teams, for instance, the Ravens. They're three and a
- 6:01Speaker 1: half point favorite on the road at the Colts Packers Vikings.
- 6:05Speaker 1: And again this is a couple of weeks out, still two, three, four, Uh,
- 6:08Speaker 1: Packers one one point underdog against the Vikings. There's some
- 6:12Speaker 1: really good Week one matchups in the NFL.
- 6:15Speaker 2: OH yeah, you know, you know there is uh and
- 6:19Speaker 2: uh we've got there. I just want to let you
- 6:22Speaker 2: know that you listen, there's no get ready for New
- 6:26Speaker 2: Old Giants upsetting the Dallas Cowboys Week one. I want
- 6:32Speaker 2: to say, that's the Monday night game or is it
- 6:34Speaker 2: no no time Monday night? That would be the over
- 6:37Speaker 2: Kansas City is Monday night night?
- 6:40Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 6:41Speaker 2: Yeah, so, uh, the Giants plus two and a half.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be getting that. And listen,
- 6:48Speaker 2: this is uh, no disrespect to the Cowboy fans out there,
- 6:52Speaker 2: but Jake, you know what that star is on their helmet.
- 6:55Speaker 2: You know that's not a logo. You know what that is?
- 6:58Speaker 2: Waiting one star?
- 7:00Speaker 1: Okay, I was gonna go I like that one too.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I was going to say that maybe some sort of
- 7:04Speaker 1: like uh you know, geo geo marker for like hey,
- 7:07Speaker 1: you know like Dallas, is it where the star is
- 7:10Speaker 1: so like on a map? Hey, Keith, sorry about that.
- 7:18Speaker 1: What's what's the vibe around a Maristar? You know, because
- 7:21Speaker 1: obviously there's gaming that goes on, but then people talk
- 7:23Speaker 1: about their teams. What's the energy like cood that you've
- 7:25Speaker 1: seen on Missisipi State Ole, miss as we get closer
- 7:27Speaker 1: to the season.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Well, Jake, you know the stain as always. Uh, you
- 7:33Speaker 2: know there's tons of optimism. Uh maybe a little more
- 7:37Speaker 2: for All Miss than for State. Right, but I didn't
- 7:41Speaker 2: get a future bet on an ol Miss to win
- 7:44Speaker 2: the national championship. I can't remember what it was at
- 7:48Speaker 2: the moment. I want to stay hold on. Let me
- 7:51Speaker 2: pull it up, Jake. We we just had one All
- 7:55Speaker 2: Miss to win twenty five to one. Yeah, so so yeah,
- 8:00Speaker 2: you know there's some optimism there, like I said, more
- 8:04Speaker 2: a little more so for Ole Miss than for State.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Very nice, Keith. Before we let you go, tell everybody
