- 1:21Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I am Chad Milman, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.
- 1:30Speaker 1: We are heading into week twelve. We are coming off
- 1:32Speaker 1: a fantastic four and one winning week, winning across the board,
- 1:39Speaker 1: making it back me and my bff, my companion, my
- 1:44Speaker 1: compadre professional better Simon Hunter. Hello, saw him in Dad
- 1:52Speaker 1: What a fun bounce back week, dad Man. We went
- 1:57Speaker 1: four and one. That felt great. We felt really confident.
- 2:00Speaker 1: There are a couple of things that I'm really proud
- 2:02Speaker 1: of us for. And before we get to all that,
- 2:05Speaker 1: let me do some housekeeping here. Today is Tuesday of
- 2:07Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Week. As this tradition, we will not be posting
- 2:11Speaker 1: a podcast on Thursday. It's the one day of the
- 2:13Speaker 1: year we let Matt Mitchell out of the basement again
- 2:17Speaker 1: for those of you listening live on AM, we appreciate it.
- 2:20Speaker 1: So today we will do our foxhold. We will do
- 2:23Speaker 1: our sign and says, we will do our exact decision.
- 2:25Speaker 1: We will do our scoot roulette. We will do our
- 2:28Speaker 1: big balls better the week we will do as much
- 2:30Speaker 1: as we can of the money line round Robin. We
- 2:33Speaker 1: ask for patients, We ask for understanding because it's Tuesday.
- 2:39Speaker 1: As you guys know, one of the keys to this
- 2:41Speaker 1: show is that we make decisions on Tuesday, that we
- 2:44Speaker 1: reserve the right to change on Thursday and then reserve
- 2:46Speaker 1: the right to change again on Sunday. As lines move,
- 2:49Speaker 1: as lineups come out, as injuries happen, as as coaching,
- 2:53Speaker 1: as player changes, QB changes happened. So take everything we're
- 2:56Speaker 1: saying with the usual Tuesday grain of salt. They are
- 2:59Speaker 1: lead means, they are indicators. They are meant to give
- 3:02Speaker 1: you signals as to which way we think the money
- 3:04Speaker 1: is going to go, and lines we might want to
- 3:06Speaker 1: jump on now. Um, but no that between now and Sunday,
- 3:10Speaker 1: the whole funkload can change. Assignment. Anything to add to that, Yeah,
- 3:15Speaker 1: I would say this year we've done pretty well. Me
- 3:19Speaker 1: and child will do this show. Our contest I believe
- 3:22Speaker 1: opens midday Wednesday and Wednesday night I'll put I'll put
- 3:25Speaker 1: our picks in from the Tuesday show. I feel like
- 3:28Speaker 1: most weeks we only really change maybe one or two picks.
- 3:31Speaker 1: So I feel like this year more than others Tuesday,
- 3:34Speaker 1: are we pretty much locked in and we kind of
- 3:35Speaker 1: know we like the only thing that really changes again,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and we're getting injury updates like that's a big deal,
- 3:40Speaker 1: especially if you get later into the season. So if
- 3:43Speaker 1: anything we do change picks from Tuesday on Sunday, I
- 3:47Speaker 1: would say nine percent of the time it's going to
- 3:49Speaker 1: be injury related. I would say that I'm really proud
- 3:51Speaker 1: of us because the Falcons on Sunday got down to
- 3:56Speaker 1: two and a half in the contest. They were at
- 3:58Speaker 1: three and a half. We love the Falcons at two
- 4:01Speaker 1: and a half. You talked about her and convinced me.
- 4:04Speaker 1: We betted at two and a half. We didn't like
- 4:06Speaker 1: it at three and a half, but we didn't love
- 4:08Speaker 1: the Bears enough at three and a half to make
- 4:09Speaker 1: it a contest play. So we bet the Falcons two
- 4:13Speaker 1: and a half or we did not make it a
- 4:15Speaker 1: contest play at three and a half. And I was
- 4:17Speaker 1: really proud of us for the conversation we had about
- 4:20Speaker 1: it on Sunday morning. For you, that was probably one
- 4:23Speaker 1: of your better weeks of picks. Like you were dead
- 4:25Speaker 1: on the Bengals. You love that one. You were dead
- 4:29Speaker 1: on with the forty nine Ers. Chargers, Yeah, Chargers, Uh,
- 4:34Speaker 1: it just looks like the bad miss. Obviously it was
- 4:37Speaker 1: Houston and like we both you know, we had our
- 4:39Speaker 1: question marks about it, but it's just rough. We're like,
- 4:41Speaker 1: you know a week that you know we went seven
- 4:44Speaker 1: and two or eight and two on our picks. It
- 4:46Speaker 1: was like, man, how do we let Houston sneak in there?
- 4:49Speaker 1: Like we should have should have fought it off. But
- 4:51Speaker 1: it was again, it was just a week where I
- 4:53Speaker 1: felt like the professionals took a lot of sides. Again
- 4:56Speaker 1: that that Dallas when you know that goes into that.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I would say before midnight on Sunday, I started betting it.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Basically my goal is that I'm taking a stand like that. Again,
- 5:05Speaker 1: it's there's only a couple of big bets all year.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Is to get as much money as I can down
- 5:09Speaker 1: all week without bringing too much notice to either me
- 5:12Speaker 1: or my runners. Start betting on Sunday, still betting it
- 5:16Speaker 1: comes Sunday morning, so it's just a really large wager. Again,
- 5:19Speaker 1: that's why I can get good information. I can give
- 5:21Speaker 1: good inforation win back where you know, again, I'm not
- 5:24Speaker 1: thinking huge bets like that every weekend, but there are
- 5:26Speaker 1: certain weeks Like, immediately I saw that number, I knew
- 5:28Speaker 1: it was gonna be one of those bets. Just waiting
- 5:29Speaker 1: for the information and check out again. We talked about
- 5:31Speaker 1: the D line first to OH line. That was a
- 5:34Speaker 1: huge mismatch in that game. I just want to clarify that.
- 5:37Speaker 1: People ask me like, hey, I would love to buy
- 5:38Speaker 1: you a beer. I'm down to have a drink if
- 5:40Speaker 1: you see me a sports book. I'm not there to
- 5:42Speaker 1: get a drink. I'm literally there to either make money
- 5:45Speaker 1: or drop off money and then get out. So I
- 5:47Speaker 1: had a couple of questions about that. I love the
- 5:49Speaker 1: fans again. Me and Chad met a bunch of fans.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Good at been cooler dudes. Everyone's been so nice. So no,
- 5:55Speaker 1: no negative experience for me with a fan yet. I'm
- 5:57Speaker 1: glad you said all that. Speaking of learning, the other
- 6:01Speaker 1: thing that I was really proud of us about on
- 6:03Speaker 1: Sunday you mentioned Cincinnati. I love Cincinnati. This week took
- 6:07Speaker 1: On took On, raybon un convinced me of the Steelers.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I said, we got a bet off because I love
- 6:14Speaker 1: the Bengals. It was it was everything. Normally the Steelers
- 6:18Speaker 1: would be an automatic take three and a half Tomlin
- 6:22Speaker 1: ra ra at Home Dog Divisional Dog. But it like situationally,
- 6:27Speaker 1: I just felt like the Steelers they played their hand.
- 6:30Speaker 1: They did it the week before. The Bengals are a
- 6:32Speaker 1: better team. My favorite conversation of the season was Sunday,
- 6:37Speaker 1: we're talking about the last team that we want to take.
- 6:40Speaker 1: We're talking about the Bengals. We're talking about the Niners.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You didn't love those they were big numbers. You didn't
- 6:44Speaker 1: like being on the out side. The wise guys were
- 6:46Speaker 1: on the other side. I love the Colts. You shed
- 6:50Speaker 1: your biases, you let go of your emotion. You knew
- 6:54Speaker 1: it was a big number, and we're like, let's put
- 6:56Speaker 1: in the Colts, and I just so excited for us.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean again, that's one of those which
- 7:04Speaker 1: trade information. Someone gave me that game and I was like,
- 7:07Speaker 1: all right, I'll take your word for it. Like you
- 7:10Speaker 1: like again, I had the numbers where I thought that
- 7:12Speaker 1: was game was closer to six six and a half,
- 7:15Speaker 1: So at the time I didn't think there was great value.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Where someone came back and be like, no, this number
- 7:18Speaker 1: should be three two and a half and I was like,
- 7:20Speaker 1: holy shit, all right, you think there's three and a
- 7:22Speaker 1: half points of value. So I think that was the
- 7:24Speaker 1: first thing I said to you, and you were like, okay,
- 7:26Speaker 1: Like I love that, let's let's put it in. Then
- 7:28Speaker 1: you had two really good picks. I should have bought
- 7:30Speaker 1: it on them and got rid of the Houston. But
- 7:32Speaker 1: that's how it goes. It's tough to go five and
- 7:34Speaker 1: oh as well as we see week in and week out.
- 7:36Speaker 1: So back to seventy from the season. So feeling pretty
- 7:38Speaker 1: good heading into week twelve with the bye week included.
- 7:42Speaker 1: We got five weeks left, really five weeks left and
- 7:44Speaker 1: making picks, so I gotta make him count, make him count.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Let's get rolling. Thursday is coming up. It's Thanksgiving. It's
- 7:50Speaker 1: three games, a lot of games on the board, a huge,
- 7:54Speaker 1: huge here it comes, wait for it menu, Happy Thanksgiving gamblers.
- 8:02Speaker 1: We're thankful for you. No bye weeks. Bills, Lions. The
- 8:09Speaker 1: Bills are on the road. They are nine and a
- 8:13Speaker 1: half point favorites. I think you like the Bills in
- 8:17Speaker 1: this game, and to me, I love the lines at
- 8:21Speaker 1: bet road favorites. Um, Thanksgiving, That's just what I do.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Evan AMers is gonna put out the trend. I believe
- 8:27Speaker 1: it's en a t S since two thousand three or
- 8:31Speaker 1: two thousand four. Just Road Favorites Thanksgiving. They pay out
- 8:34Speaker 1: every year. I do the same thing. I mean, people
- 8:36Speaker 1: are gonna catch on if you listen to podcasts every year.
- 8:38Speaker 1: I bet the Road Favorites and I fade the Cowboys.
- 8:41Speaker 1: It's been very profitable. The Cowboys just lay eggs on Thanksgiving.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I believe they are one in ten and they're last eleven.
- 8:47Speaker 1: A t s, just a lot of trends. I like
- 8:50Speaker 1: to ride, like going with the Bills here, I get
- 8:52Speaker 1: where Chad's coming from. Right lines, feel like they spark something.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Here is the three straight wins they have now three
- 8:57Speaker 1: straight wins and Simon, guess what, guess talk to me.
- 9:01Speaker 1: We were huge fans the Lions over five and a
- 9:06Speaker 1: half or six and a half, got to six and
- 9:08Speaker 1: a half, got up to six and a half. We
- 9:09Speaker 1: were huge fans of that. Before the season began. There
- 9:14Speaker 1: now at four wins for the year. We thought that
- 9:17Speaker 1: was a lost cause, right so we thought it was over.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I checked with Kerner Sean Kroner, I checked with Nick Giffen,
- 9:23Speaker 1: I checked with Billy Ward. I checked with all the
- 9:26Speaker 1: analytics geniuses at the Action Network team we've got a
- 9:30Speaker 1: better than average shot of the Lions covering that six
- 9:34Speaker 1: and a half wind total for the year. The three
- 9:37Speaker 1: that we loved where we should tell people three we love,
- 9:40Speaker 1: we love the Jets under five and a half. We're
- 9:41Speaker 1: gonna lose that, although who knows our reasoning, though everyone
- 9:46Speaker 1: can say they agree that we were just trying to
- 9:48Speaker 1: fade Zach Wilson were Yeah, Zack Wilson, we love the
- 9:54Speaker 1: Lions over and we love the Bears under. I think
- 9:56Speaker 1: we got a good chance at cash and two of
- 9:58Speaker 1: those three. Yeah, we'll again. It's a lot of games left,
- 10:02Speaker 1: a lot of games anyways, your love for Detroit, I
- 10:06Speaker 1: guess we won't have this one in there won't be
- 10:09Speaker 1: in the contest. Look, I feel like it's a big number,
- 10:13Speaker 1: it's a road number. It's a short week. The Bills
- 10:17Speaker 1: traveled back and forth. Uh, they finally got right, but
- 10:20Speaker 1: they did not look good in that game for most
- 10:23Speaker 1: of the game. And um, the Lions at home are
- 10:29Speaker 1: always a live dog, and you've got to be up
- 10:31Speaker 1: by I think you have to be up by seventeen
- 10:35Speaker 1: points with two minutes left and have the ball with
- 10:40Speaker 1: the Lions having no time outs left for this for
- 10:43Speaker 1: this side to be safe. That's what I can My
- 10:49Speaker 1: mindly thing is it's like the Bills have had their
- 10:51Speaker 1: stinker games and they still win them. They're due for
- 10:55Speaker 1: just a dominant performance. I just expect Josh Allen in
- 10:58Speaker 1: this primetime spot to kill team again. I thought it
- 11:01Speaker 1: was really fishy. This line was nine and a half.
- 11:04Speaker 1: I made this line seven. So historically, I think the
- 11:07Speaker 1: value is on the lines. I'm no fool here. I
- 11:10Speaker 1: know exactly what the sports perk to do, and they
- 11:12Speaker 1: have the exact same trends we do. The favorites on
- 11:14Speaker 1: the road are very profitable the teams. They're the only
- 11:17Speaker 1: road favorite this week. So I just again have to
- 11:20Speaker 1: take this number. It's it's one of those trends I
- 11:22Speaker 1: like to ride. All right, Well, you and I gonna
- 11:25Speaker 1: agree to disagree. We're on the bus getting ready to
- 11:28Speaker 1: broadcast the traditional Thanksgiving Day game, and John, as you
- 11:32Speaker 1: think about all the people around the country sitting down
- 11:34Speaker 1: to enjoy Thanksgiving with their friends and their families, we
- 11:37Speaker 1: indeed have a lot to be thankful for. To me,
- 11:39Speaker 1: there's nothing better. There's just certain things that go together,
- 11:42Speaker 1: you know, the turkey, the family, the tradition football, and
- 11:46Speaker 1: we have it all today. The Giants on the road
- 11:50Speaker 1: at the Cowboys. Cowboys nine point favorites in this game.
- 11:55Speaker 1: It feels high. It feels really really high. That feels
- 11:59Speaker 1: like I kind of want to fade the Cowboys off
- 12:03Speaker 1: of that massive win which we all saw coming and
- 12:07Speaker 1: take the Giants after finally sort of regressing a little
- 12:11Speaker 1: bit against these Detroit Lions. Yeah, I think the Giants
- 12:15Speaker 1: looked like what most people expected them to be this year,
- 12:18Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones making stupid plays on third down, not
- 12:22Speaker 1: taking the run when he should, forcing balls in there,
- 12:25Speaker 1: Quan having no no running room because the offensive line
- 12:28Speaker 1: can't get him any holes or space to break out. Again,
- 12:31Speaker 1: it's a miracle that this team has performed as well
- 12:33Speaker 1: as they have this year. The Giants, they're just regression.
- 12:37Speaker 1: We called for it, We've been calling for it. We
- 12:39Speaker 1: expected it. They tried giving that way that game away
- 12:42Speaker 1: to the Texas. The Texans are just that bad. They
- 12:44Speaker 1: couldn't take it. Detroit clearly is much better than we predicted. Again,
- 12:48Speaker 1: all week, that line was at three. The public was
- 12:51Speaker 1: all over the Giants, and clearly, you know, a quarter
- 12:54Speaker 1: to that game, you're like Okay, this is gonna be
- 12:56Speaker 1: all those games. The lines are just gonna dominate them.
- 12:58Speaker 1: So in this position in year I I I agree
- 13:01Speaker 1: with you, chat, I'm walking right into it with with
- 13:03Speaker 1: the Giants. It's like, you know, divisional game, I always
- 13:06Speaker 1: fade the Cowboys already knows me and the Giants. The
- 13:09Speaker 1: fact that the Cowboys just had arguably their best win
- 13:13Speaker 1: of the year. I mean they dominated on both sides
- 13:16Speaker 1: of the ball and every way against that Vikings team.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I think it's one of the worst losses the Vikings
- 13:20Speaker 1: ever had. Um at home again, they could have found
- 13:26Speaker 1: something here in Pollard, like he's He's produced now four
- 13:28Speaker 1: straight games, incredible games, and they're just using them really smart.
- 13:32Speaker 1: This Dallas offense, Like anytime Dac needs a big play,
- 13:35Speaker 1: if it's not just a little dump off to him,
- 13:37Speaker 1: it's a big handoff, it's a big deal. So I'm
- 13:41Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you. Of all the three games,
- 13:43Speaker 1: this is the one I had the least confidence in betting.
- 13:45Speaker 1: But I feel like Chad just talked about, it's like situationally,
- 13:48Speaker 1: we have to take it. Just the number feels like
- 13:50Speaker 1: it's grossly big just because of what happened. But I
- 13:53Speaker 1: do think, honestly, I do think the publicill end up
- 13:56Speaker 1: being on this giant side. So um as we see
- 13:58Speaker 1: here Tuesday, I bet this side it's not gonna be
- 14:00Speaker 1: one of my bigger belts about the money, uh and
- 14:05Speaker 1: the majority of the tickets are both on the Giants
- 14:08Speaker 1: at this point. By the way, what's interesting is the
- 14:10Speaker 1: Lions and uh, Lions tickets and money are just about
- 14:16Speaker 1: evenly split Lions bills. Yeah, it sounds about right. I mean, well,
- 14:21Speaker 1: we'll see how that game shapes shapes up. I kick off,
- 14:24Speaker 1: But look at you and me, a couple of wise guys.
- 14:26Speaker 1: We can't agree on it. We're on different sides of it.
- 14:29Speaker 1: That's that's pretty much. We're reflective of the public and
- 14:32Speaker 1: the and the wise guys. That's what we are. We
- 14:35Speaker 1: reflect society. Simon. Patriots at the Vikings. This one's interesting.
- 14:40Speaker 1: It's bouncing around plus three plus two and a half
- 14:43Speaker 1: plus three plus two and a half money on the Patriots, Yep,
- 14:48Speaker 1: tickets on the Vikings. Sharp call of the week. This
- 14:51Speaker 1: is one of the really smart group. Reached out to
- 14:54Speaker 1: a couple of different people telling them they're gonna be
- 14:56Speaker 1: on this one on Sunday grabbed it through while you can.
- 15:00Speaker 1: There's still threes out there, so again, they've moved the
- 15:02Speaker 1: number in a couple of books, but you can still
- 15:04Speaker 1: find a three out there if you shop around. So
- 15:05Speaker 1: I'd grab that now. It's just gonna be a professional play.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Like again, as soon as I saw this number, I
- 15:11Speaker 1: liked it. Hearing the smart groups on it gave me
- 15:14Speaker 1: more confidence. I kind of talked about chat earlier. It's
- 15:17Speaker 1: it's a classic defensive line versus all offensive line mismatch,
- 15:20Speaker 1: which we saw last week with this Vikings team. There's
- 15:23Speaker 1: just too many injuries. Again, Kirk, that game was even
- 15:25Speaker 1: on him last week. He had no time. Guys were
- 15:27Speaker 1: just in his lap that entire game. I expect the
- 15:30Speaker 1: exact same thing here. This New England team that I
- 15:33Speaker 1: know people sleep on him. They have one of the
- 15:35Speaker 1: better defenses of football, and they have the third highest
- 15:37Speaker 1: graded the line in football right now in my opinion.
- 15:40Speaker 1: So I'm looking at a team here that you know
- 15:43Speaker 1: they played bad. Like, do you think Belichick is gonna
- 15:46Speaker 1: let them get off that they won by a punt
- 15:48Speaker 1: return last week? No, He's gonna treat that as if
- 15:50Speaker 1: it's a loss. He's gonna be on their ass on
- 15:52Speaker 1: a short week. I would love to take the Vikings
- 15:54Speaker 1: in a bounce back spot. They just don't him an
- 15:56Speaker 1: offensive line. Kirk's can have no time. Cook's gonna have
- 15:59Speaker 1: no whole was to run through hate that matchup. Flip
- 16:03Speaker 1: to the other side. What do we just see? We
- 16:06Speaker 1: saw Dallas is running all over this Vikings team. What
- 16:08Speaker 1: doesn't even want to do They want to run the
- 16:10Speaker 1: ball with their two headed monster and that's how they're
- 16:12Speaker 1: gonna do in this game. So no brainer. Grabbed the
- 16:15Speaker 1: plus three. Um, hope I can convince Chad to take
- 16:18Speaker 1: this one. I know he doesn't want to do it
- 16:19Speaker 1: because it's the late night one, but I feel like
- 16:21Speaker 1: he'll come around on it. Where it's just a smart play. Again,
- 16:24Speaker 1: if you're down three offensive alignment and you already have
- 16:26Speaker 1: a bad offensive line that which the Vikings did, right,
- 16:29Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Again. I'm we're sitting here on Tuesday.
- 16:33Speaker 1: We just have to go off in branch we have
- 16:34Speaker 1: right now. This to me, that just feels like it's
- 16:36Speaker 1: gonna go down to two and a half. I just
- 16:38Speaker 1: feel like more people are gonna bet this on the
- 16:39Speaker 1: Patriots side to split. There's only one three out there
- 16:42Speaker 1: right now. Wow. So yeah, if you could get that,
- 16:45Speaker 1: I would because again, I think it's gonna keep going
- 16:46Speaker 1: because again it's it's just a smart smart spot to
- 16:50Speaker 1: take this Patriots team where I agree with people the
- 16:53Speaker 1: Vikings should bounce back. They gotta drop a couple of games. People,
- 16:57Speaker 1: This is not a team that's gonna go twelve and
- 16:58Speaker 1: five on the season. The Kings just aren't that good
- 17:01Speaker 1: to me. They're a closer to a eleven and eleven
- 17:04Speaker 1: and seven, ten and eight, ten and seven. I should
- 17:07Speaker 1: say like team, they're just they're inflated because of their record.
- 17:12Speaker 1: When you go through all those games, it was really
- 17:14Speaker 1: Kirk putting that team on his back and getting them
- 17:16Speaker 1: these bunch of wins they probably shouldn't have won. So
- 17:18Speaker 1: they have a bunch of aggression coming up. This is
- 17:20Speaker 1: one of those games I see them having aggression in. Um, yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 1: don't need the Patriots to win, We just need them
- 17:25Speaker 1: to cover two and a half, cover the three. So
- 17:26Speaker 1: I would grab that now if I could. Uh, what
- 17:29Speaker 1: did you think of? Earlier today? You and I were
- 17:31Speaker 1: on Green Dot Daily at Action Network HQ follow it
- 17:34Speaker 1: on Action Network YouTube. In the Action Network gap is
- 17:37Speaker 1: where we talk about setting the betting agenda for the
- 17:40Speaker 1: day every day at New and Eastern. I said, my
- 17:44Speaker 1: favorite bet for Thanksgiving was the Vikings first quarter minus
- 17:48Speaker 1: one and a half. It's fun. I mean, you gave
- 17:51Speaker 1: out good reasons, right, Like the Patriots haven't scored in
- 17:53Speaker 1: the first quarter. You expect Minnesota right to come out
- 17:56Speaker 1: with a good game script, right, Ryan trying to put
- 17:58Speaker 1: up points. So don't hate You're coming from only my
- 18:01Speaker 1: only knock on to be that's minus one and a half,
- 18:03Speaker 1: which is like you're kind of paying for the juice
- 18:05Speaker 1: of what you just said. The Patriots have not performed
- 18:07Speaker 1: well in the first quarter. You've been a bounce back
- 18:10Speaker 1: spot here from Kirk. I just think full game, prime
- 18:13Speaker 1: time Kirk. He's gonna put his team in trouble eventually.
- 18:16Speaker 1: I agree with you. I will be playing the Patriots
- 18:18Speaker 1: plus three. But I'm very much looking forward to just
- 18:22Speaker 1: watching the first quarter and going to bed because in reality,
- 18:25Speaker 1: in reality, like like I'm tired. By the end of
- 18:28Speaker 1: the day, I will have had a full day with
- 18:31Speaker 1: my dad, wife, my kids, my son home from college,
- 18:36Speaker 1: my seven year old niece, my stepbrother is going to
- 18:38Speaker 1: be in town. I love them. All, but it's gonna
- 18:42Speaker 1: be a lot. We will have been together for thirty
- 18:43Speaker 1: six hours by the time this game comes on the air,
- 18:47Speaker 1: and like, I'll be ready for bed at nine o'clock.
- 18:50Speaker 1: And it just feels like this will probably the only
- 18:51Speaker 1: under I'll be on. I'll be on the other two overs. Um,
- 18:54Speaker 1: this is just a classic. I'll just take this under
- 18:57Speaker 1: and hold my nose. Uh, just to to offense? Is
- 19:00Speaker 1: that seemed like they're going to struggle in in this matchup. Finally,
- 19:04Speaker 1: the Ravens visiting the Jaguars. I know you love this game.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Jacks with four point dogs at home percent of the
- 19:14Speaker 1: early money on the Baltimore Ravens. Simon says, oh boy,
- 19:21Speaker 1: oh boy, doing what people who mutat us so much goodness,
- 19:31Speaker 1: but we have to do it. This is uninflated line
- 19:34Speaker 1: the public. They have too much faith in this Ravens
- 19:37Speaker 1: team that just has not been showing us that they
- 19:39Speaker 1: deserve this much faith. Right, they've struggled these last couple
- 19:42Speaker 1: of weeks, ever since their number one receiver went down.
- 19:46Speaker 1: We've seen their issues with Mark Andrews, Right, he's just
- 19:48Speaker 1: not looked right. He's been banged up his last couple
- 19:50Speaker 1: of weeks. I just like the Jaguars. I feel like
- 19:52Speaker 1: they're a team that's getting right. Come and have a
- 19:55Speaker 1: bye week. This is a great spot for you know,
- 19:57Speaker 1: Doug in a whole week with him. I mean again,
- 20:01Speaker 1: who knows what they worked on. They he had an
- 20:03Speaker 1: interview I saw two days ago where we talked about
- 20:05Speaker 1: him and Lawrence got together. They worked on a lot
- 20:07Speaker 1: of stuff. They talked about a bunch of stuff about
- 20:09Speaker 1: what was good from the beginning of the year and
- 20:11Speaker 1: what they can work on and what they get improved on.
- 20:14Speaker 1: So again, to me, it feels like we're buying low
- 20:17Speaker 1: on the Jaguars team that don't. Like you just said,
- 20:19Speaker 1: the numbers, no one's gonna be betting them right. This
- 20:21Speaker 1: is your classic pros verse. Joe's just like last week again,
- 20:27Speaker 1: that Colts number made no sense to the public. They
- 20:29Speaker 1: didn't get what was happening, why they were getting such
- 20:31Speaker 1: a good deal and taking this Eagles team. That's the
- 20:34Speaker 1: same thing here with this Ravens team. Seven and three,
- 20:37Speaker 1: they've earned it. Like the three losses they've had this year,
- 20:40Speaker 1: they were self inflicted, right, they had the bills, They
- 20:42Speaker 1: gave that game away at the end there they had Miami.
- 20:45Speaker 1: They gave that game away. They had a lot of
- 20:46Speaker 1: self inflicted games. This just feels like got bad spot
- 20:49Speaker 1: for this Ravens team. Like they're just going up against
- 20:52Speaker 1: the team that matches up very well for them on defense.
- 20:54Speaker 1: They want to take away they run. That's what the
- 20:56Speaker 1: Jaguars excel at. Now you're forcing the Ravens. The past,
- 20:59Speaker 1: we've seen how Ravens just the passing game just isn't
- 21:01Speaker 1: there right now. So a big number at four, magging
- 21:05Speaker 1: that my Simon says, I just do. I think this
- 21:07Speaker 1: will go to three and a half three by Sunday
- 21:09Speaker 1: kick off again. This is just gonna be a professional game.
- 21:12Speaker 1: They'll take this number every time. So you can still
- 21:15Speaker 1: grab the four now at fan do I'll grab it
- 21:17Speaker 1: before it moves. I mean, what's interesting about this game,
- 21:20Speaker 1: this team is we've believed in the Jaguars so much
- 21:26Speaker 1: as much as we're in Atlanta Falcons podcast, we might
- 21:28Speaker 1: be at Jacksonville Jaguars podcast, and they have led us
- 21:32Speaker 1: down so many times this year. You know, we have
- 21:36Speaker 1: told ourselves we're not betting the Jags anymore, and yet
- 21:41Speaker 1: here we are, we see ourselves in a position of
- 21:44Speaker 1: betting the Jaguars. I'm with you. I agree, it's just
- 21:51Speaker 1: you know, it's the kind of thing that makes you
- 21:53Speaker 1: puke after thanksgetting yeah, I feel like again that's my
- 21:58Speaker 1: job to be a profession an a little better. It's
- 22:00Speaker 1: just like, get over yourself, Like, it's not the Jaguars
- 22:04Speaker 1: fault that I lost money. That's my own damn fault.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I should have known better. This feels are a good
- 22:08Speaker 1: spot to take him, So try not to blame the
- 22:09Speaker 1: Jaguars for my shortcomings. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

- 24:21Speaker 1: at the Browns. Buccaneers off by Browns getting blown out,
- 24:26Speaker 1: although I will say they got blown out late like
- 24:30Speaker 1: they were in that game, and that they played well
- 24:32Speaker 1: in that game. Three and a half right now Browns, Yeah,
- 24:36Speaker 1: so basically they're all pro center just got put on
- 24:39Speaker 1: I R. So that's like a big deal for them,
- 24:42Speaker 1: and they're run game. I want to take Cleveland, I
- 24:46Speaker 1: really do. I feel like this is the right time
- 24:48Speaker 1: to take them against a buck team that a little overvalued.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Like in games they the games, the one against the Rams,
- 24:54Speaker 1: the Rams kind of gave that game away to them,
- 24:56Speaker 1: the game they want to get the Seahawks. That was
- 24:59Speaker 1: kind of Geno revert and backed himself again. They were
- 25:02Speaker 1: losing big in that game and Gino came all the
- 25:04Speaker 1: way back. He put up a fight. He just couldn't
- 25:06Speaker 1: get there right, you know enough times so to me,
- 25:09Speaker 1: unless you have a huge, huge letdown spot from Brissett. Yeah,
- 25:14Speaker 1: this could burn us again. He's not been good this year.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Per set the Cleveland they have a bad record. They
- 25:18Speaker 1: are a bad team. So if we had to pick
- 25:21Speaker 1: between the two evils to put in one between the
- 25:24Speaker 1: Jaguars and Cleveland, we'll pick one of them. There's no
- 25:26Speaker 1: chance both these are going in the contest, so I
- 25:28Speaker 1: can tell you that much. Yeah, it's gonna be one
- 25:30Speaker 1: if you want to get. If you want to get
- 25:32Speaker 1: the hook and you like the Browns, get it now.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Because it's a three and a half. I think it's
- 25:36Speaker 1: gonna keep going up though, honestly, because yeah, just because
- 25:39Speaker 1: it's a big it's a big injury the offensive line
- 25:41Speaker 1: like that, that's a big deal. Um, we know that
- 25:45Speaker 1: team they needed they need to get the ball running
- 25:47Speaker 1: to really get things going. So uh, yeah's interesting number.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I'll be watching. But don't rush. You don't have the rusher.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Got that three and a half? All right? Well I
- 25:59Speaker 1: may have done that ready, Um, so bad on me.
- 26:04Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears are visiting the New York Football Jets.
- 26:10Speaker 1: We don't know a lot right now to me, like
- 26:13Speaker 1: this is a wait and see, don't rush. Justin field
- 26:17Speaker 1: dislocated left shoulder, non throwing shoulder, even if by some
- 26:21Speaker 1: miracle he does play, and I would say, Bears, for
- 26:26Speaker 1: God's sakes, he's proven how good he is. You've proven
- 26:30Speaker 1: what you can do with him offensively. You know what
- 26:32Speaker 1: the game plan should be next year. He's got a
- 26:35Speaker 1: dislocated left shoulder that's gonna take six weeks to heal.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Shut him the funk down, right, get as high a
- 26:42Speaker 1: pick as you can get. Get that offensive lineman. You need,
- 26:46Speaker 1: start thinking about what you need to support the defense, Like,
- 26:50Speaker 1: let's not jeopardize the next decade to play the New
- 26:54Speaker 1: York fucking Jets, who we don't even know who their
- 26:57Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be. So I don't know why
- 26:59Speaker 1: anyone's betting this game this point because people like me,
- 27:02Speaker 1: like I'm all over the Jets love the Jets. Could
- 27:04Speaker 1: give two ships through the Jets quarterback because he literally
- 27:07Speaker 1: just playing the spot situationally, the Bears. What makes them work?
- 27:12Speaker 1: Justin fields? Guess what's broken? Justin fields? It's that simple.
- 27:16Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I banged up justin fields. I love it.
- 27:20Speaker 1: He's greaty, he's tough, he's gonna try to play. The
- 27:23Speaker 1: Jets have one of the best defenses in football, Like
- 27:25Speaker 1: they're gonna beat the ship up if he does play,
- 27:27Speaker 1: I think pretty quick. I don't think he's gonna think
- 27:29Speaker 1: it's gonna be worth it. Like I think he's gonna
- 27:31Speaker 1: get banged up here if he tries to force himself
- 27:33Speaker 1: into this game. So give me anyone but Zack Wilson.
- 27:37Speaker 1: That would make my day if we found out again
- 27:39Speaker 1: Flacco as much I love to bury the guy. He
- 27:43Speaker 1: can run the system. He's got the balls to get
- 27:45Speaker 1: the ball downfield. Zack looks scared. Like Zach. We all
- 27:48Speaker 1: know he hasn't talent. It's all mental. We've seen the
- 27:50Speaker 1: time and time again. That's what most of football is
- 27:53Speaker 1: here in the quarterback position. Like these guys all talent,
- 27:56Speaker 1: once they get broken mentally, that's it again. Baker Mayfield,
- 28:00Speaker 1: you can you can throw on his film from his
- 28:02Speaker 1: rookie year. He looks like a completely different quarterback. He
- 28:05Speaker 1: had confidence, he had balls, he would go downfield. Now
- 28:08Speaker 1: he's terrified. Anytime he does go downfield, it's a force
- 28:11Speaker 1: into two guys. It's just bad reads. So, man, I
- 28:15Speaker 1: get where you're coming from. Where It's like, this is
- 28:17Speaker 1: just so gross. I don't want to touch it right now,
- 28:19Speaker 1: and there's so much unknowns, but I'm just gonna grab
- 28:21Speaker 1: it just in case it Fields is out, Like that's
- 28:24Speaker 1: a big that's gonna move this number, like this could
- 28:26Speaker 1: jump up to six. So I'll grab the four. I'll
- 28:28Speaker 1: grab the four and a half now in the Jets
- 28:30Speaker 1: and if if Justin plays, great, If not, that's okay too.
- 28:34Speaker 1: To me, the big deal is where we want to
- 28:36Speaker 1: see who the quarterback is for this Jets team, because
- 28:39Speaker 1: I don't like the juji right now with that team.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Like you can tell Zack Wilson a lot of X
- 28:44Speaker 1: players talking about him, you know, in that conference not
- 28:47Speaker 1: owning up to playing shitty and having a bad game.
- 28:49Speaker 1: That's a bad look, like really bad look. So to me,
- 28:53Speaker 1: that's a big deal. It's a really bad look. Yeah,
- 28:58Speaker 1: I'm surprised that the reaction it's gott And there's been
- 29:00Speaker 1: a lot of memes going around comparing Josh Allen to
- 29:04Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. How Josh Allen will, like after a game
- 29:08Speaker 1: when he plays badly, will sit there and just bad
- 29:11Speaker 1: mouth himself like he is the worst person in the world.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Where there's a story going around that Justin Fields in
- 29:19Speaker 1: the locker room after the game against Atlanta, stood up
- 29:22Speaker 1: and said to his defense, I apologize. This is on me.
- 29:25Speaker 1: You gave us chances to win, we didn't take advantage
- 29:28Speaker 1: of them. And then you've got Zack Wilson just being
- 29:30Speaker 1: like yeah, good, yeah, such a such a bad look.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Not do she You wouldn't be too if you look
- 29:38Speaker 1: like him. I mean he has a good looking guy. Yeah.
- 29:41Speaker 1: The Bengals are on the road at the Titans. I
- 29:46Speaker 1: love the Bengals last week, even against the good Steelers defense.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you know, it's getting into the point where
- 29:54Speaker 1: he's through the rust of not having played much during
- 29:57Speaker 1: the early part during preseason um and not done much
- 30:00Speaker 1: during the offseason. This team is just getting better. DJ
- 30:05Speaker 1: Reader is back. I think that's a big deal. What
- 30:08Speaker 1: scares me and I think I like the Bengals here.
- 30:12Speaker 1: What scares me is that the Titans continue to cover
- 30:18Speaker 1: for reasons that are unknown because they're not that good
- 30:21Speaker 1: of a team. Big balls better the week, Cincinnati Bengals,
- 30:28Speaker 1: So let me ask something. I agree, but why is
- 30:32Speaker 1: that a big balls better the week? Like taking the
- 30:34Speaker 1: big d The Titans haven't They've covered in like eight
- 30:38Speaker 1: straight weeks. Ray Blow is an underdog. We all know
- 30:41Speaker 1: the numbers this is. This is gonna be a spot chat.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I feel like we're gonna be kind of loan on,
- 30:46Speaker 1: like maybe a couple of pros will better with us,
- 30:48Speaker 1: but Joe Public will be on the Titans. They'll tease
- 30:51Speaker 1: the Titans up to eight or seven and a half,
- 30:53Speaker 1: like they're they're gonna love this number this week. Um
- 30:56Speaker 1: to me, the biggest advantages the Titans only weaknesses they
- 31:01Speaker 1: can be passed on and lucky for us. I shouldn't
- 31:04Speaker 1: say lucky, but it seems like Joe Mixon is gonna
- 31:06Speaker 1: be out. So my pe grynds are receiving back. We
- 31:09Speaker 1: saw it last week how Dominie was catching the ball
- 31:11Speaker 1: in the backfield. That's what the Bangos at Danny will
- 31:13Speaker 1: be against Tennessee. That's how they're gonna beat them. It's
- 31:16Speaker 1: passing the ball moving through the air. So giving me
- 31:18Speaker 1: this number under three, I honestly think it's a gift. Um. Again,
- 31:22Speaker 1: we saw these two teams playing the playoffs last year.
- 31:25Speaker 1: I think the Titans sacked him like ten times. I'm
- 31:27Speaker 1: not even exaggerating, and they still lost that game. This
- 31:31Speaker 1: Bengals O line is much improved. Um, this should be
- 31:34Speaker 1: a good matchup for this Bangals team. So, just based
- 31:37Speaker 1: off the regression we expect from Tennessee here, they should
- 31:40Speaker 1: drop this game. But not only that, I think they're
- 31:43Speaker 1: sucking the public in a little bit. So it's not
- 31:45Speaker 1: surprising to see the money and the tickets coming in
- 31:47Speaker 1: early on Tennessee. Um again, two and a half to
- 31:52Speaker 1: one and a half. As long as you get under three,
- 31:53Speaker 1: I would take this Bengals number. M hmm. I was
- 31:59Speaker 1: leading to that as executive decision, and you just stepped
- 32:02Speaker 1: on me. We'll do it. We all go with different
- 32:04Speaker 1: big balls. No, I'll find an exact decision. I'm just
- 32:07Speaker 1: trying to give the people winners chat. That's that's what
- 32:10Speaker 1: I try to do. Yeah, like I did last week
- 32:12Speaker 1: with Cincinnati as our big balls and the Chargers in
- 32:16Speaker 1: my scoot roulette. Don't talk to me about winners. You're
- 32:22Speaker 1: on a heater. Heater. Have you look in the app
- 32:25Speaker 1: right now? For the last thirty days, I am fucking
- 32:28Speaker 1: crushing it right, I found a fucking groove al right.
- 32:33Speaker 1: The text is a thirteen point underdogs at Miami. I mean, look,
- 32:39Speaker 1: we don't want to Yeah, we're not mad at us,
- 32:44Speaker 1: but what can we do? We have to be? What
- 32:46Speaker 1: are we supposed to do? I know I hate it?
- 32:49Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do? I won't I will
- 32:52Speaker 1: not I promise you will not hit up Chat on Sunday.
- 32:55Speaker 1: I will not say we have to put this one in,
- 32:57Speaker 1: but I will be bet in Houston. Um, it's it's bad.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Houston is bad and everywhere they are bad. It's it
- 33:07Speaker 1: is not fun again when we're down fourteen nothing in
- 33:10Speaker 1: the first quarter. That's why I'll text Chat and say,
- 33:12Speaker 1: thank God we didn't put this in our five because
- 33:14Speaker 1: it's just God, They're just bad. So yeah, I'll bet
- 33:18Speaker 1: it with the four other people. Um, it's miserable. Existence
- 33:22Speaker 1: will be one of my smaller bets. It's definitely gonna
- 33:24Speaker 1: win because no one's gonna bet, and then that's just
- 33:26Speaker 1: how it goes. But Miami is good, like a move
- 33:29Speaker 1: the ball. They're all healthy right now, to is healthy.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I get it. If you want to take Miami is
- 33:35Speaker 1: a big favorite here. Um, I just I feel like
- 33:37Speaker 1: this line is by three points higher than it should be,
- 33:39Speaker 1: so I'll just I'll take Houston. I would say nobody
- 33:44Speaker 1: should take Miami. It's either a bet Houston, or don't
- 33:48Speaker 1: bet it at all, but don't be the person who's
- 33:51Speaker 1: betting Miami. That's what like Dann Ravel is gonna bet Miami,
- 33:55Speaker 1: and I can't fault them though, like that Houston. I
- 33:57Speaker 1: said it last week. I didn't get why the Pros
- 33:59Speaker 1: were making this when they're bigger bets where Houston they're
- 34:01Speaker 1: taking a risk. He's gonna be the worst team of football.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Like they really are that bad where they could have
- 34:06Speaker 1: quit on love you at this point. And again it's
- 34:10Speaker 1: not that I think they've quit on love You. I
- 34:12Speaker 1: think the league is just figured out Davis Mills. Like
- 34:15Speaker 1: you watch him against these defenses now, he's forever uncomfortable.
- 34:19Speaker 1: He doesn't like throwing to his left, so they just
- 34:20Speaker 1: shade everything to his right and it makes him uncomfortable.
- 34:23Speaker 1: So um, that might be the major issue here where
- 34:26Speaker 1: he's just so bad and they have no other option.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Good for them, right, they're gonna tank this year. They're
- 34:30Speaker 1: gonna get a great quarterback in this draft. But for
- 34:33Speaker 1: this year, man, it's hard putting money behind this kid
- 34:36Speaker 1: at QB where he just he's regressed every week since
- 34:39Speaker 1: that Week one game against the Colts. He just has
- 34:41Speaker 1: not produced this year. Should we make this our fox off? Fuck? No, no,
- 34:46Speaker 1: stay away. Tell me how you really feel about it? Again,
- 34:50Speaker 1: I feel like we have to bet it. But people
- 34:52Speaker 1: are like yelling at us about the Houston pick and
- 34:54Speaker 1: I got it, Like that sucked, that was horrible. So
- 34:57Speaker 1: I get where they're coming from. All right, well, uh,
- 35:03Speaker 1: no one else is going to do it except for us,
- 35:05Speaker 1: that by definition puts us in the Foxhole. That's true,
- 35:09Speaker 1: just saying, and like I like, there's a lot of
- 35:12Speaker 1: games coming up. I feel mediocre about most of them. Um,
- 35:16Speaker 1: so it's tough on Tuesday. I'm not sure we'll find
- 35:20Speaker 1: a game that is a more obvious Foxhole game in
- 35:24Speaker 1: the Texans. In fact, I feel like we're doing a
- 35:26Speaker 1: disservice to the definition and who we are as a
- 35:29Speaker 1: podcast and who we are as better as if we
- 35:32Speaker 1: don't make the Texans are foxholl I mean, Jesus Christ,
- 35:36Speaker 1: you're taking that think of a stand. Yeah we can.
- 35:39Speaker 1: We can make it our fox will if you feel
- 35:40Speaker 1: that strongly. I feel strongly. Oh God, look, this is
- 35:46Speaker 1: what we do. We're betting the Jags. You just said,
- 35:49Speaker 1: Simon says, its Jags plus four. I mean come on,
- 35:55Speaker 1: this is what we do. They've shown a little life
- 35:57Speaker 1: when you poke them with a stick. Right now, we're
- 35:59Speaker 1: poking he's of the stick and we get nothing. We
- 36:01Speaker 1: bet Davis Mills, he's a back door, cover, almost cover,
- 36:06Speaker 1: get close machine. He is the guy who tempts you
- 36:11Speaker 1: late in the game, and we will be tempted when
- 36:14Speaker 1: they're down twenty and there's no reason for Miami to
- 36:18Speaker 1: play defense anymore. And Davis Mills keeps going falcons on
- 36:25Speaker 1: the road at the Commanders. I'm seeing some four and
- 36:28Speaker 1: a half's out there. Yeah, yeah, peak Commanders, this is
- 36:32Speaker 1: the peak of the Commanders. They're getting four and a half.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Maybe that's because Chase is coming back, right, that's a
- 36:38Speaker 1: big upgrade of their d line. But man, this is
- 36:42Speaker 1: crazy to think that. I mean, there's still in fourth
- 36:46Speaker 1: place the NFC East. They've turned it around again. Heineke's comment,
- 36:49Speaker 1: he's played well, he's made big throws. Their offenses clicking.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Their defense has been playing well, right. Even in that
- 36:56Speaker 1: Eagles game, they were giving up yards, but they're tough,
- 36:59Speaker 1: fault hard yards and again they were going after the ball.
- 37:02Speaker 1: They stripped the Eagles on three different plays. So to me,
- 37:06Speaker 1: Washington might be stepping in front of the train right now.
- 37:09Speaker 1: But I feel like Chad's gonna talk about like four
- 37:11Speaker 1: and a half four. It's a lot of points for
- 37:14Speaker 1: a Washington team that you know, they play teams close
- 37:17Speaker 1: in Atlanta, loves close games. All year they've played close games.
- 37:21Speaker 1: They give teams they are best shots. Especially with that
- 37:23Speaker 1: run game. They just ball control, slow the game down.
- 37:26Speaker 1: So e D and I don't mean the kind that
- 37:30Speaker 1: needs viagra. Executive decision, the choice between the unthinkable and
- 37:38Speaker 1: the impossible. Are you with ex executive decision? Come on?
- 37:45Speaker 1: Are you telling me? Taylor Heineke should be a four
- 37:49Speaker 1: or four and a half point favorite over anybody right now?
- 37:53Speaker 1: Like he is a wild card, great backup team rallies.
- 38:00Speaker 1: It's impressive what he's been doing. Beating the Eagles was impressive,
- 38:03Speaker 1: a lot of luck. Beating the Texans was impressive. We
- 38:06Speaker 1: thought the Texans would cover. But the Falcons are a
- 38:11Speaker 1: great match for this Washington team. Strength on strength, Right,
- 38:16Speaker 1: They're going to run the ball, and the Washington Commanders
- 38:21Speaker 1: they're going to try to stop the run, and they're
- 38:23Speaker 1: good at that. But this is about controlling the clock.
- 38:30Speaker 1: It's about the Falcons being very good in close games.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Eight of eleven games this year one score or less.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Seven of those games four points or less. That's why
- 38:42Speaker 1: the hook is so important here. There is a team
- 38:44Speaker 1: that just plays close games, whether they win or they lose,
- 38:47Speaker 1: they just play very close games. They don't make mistakes.
- 38:51Speaker 1: That's what you're betting beyond anything else. You're betting the
- 38:55Speaker 1: situation and you're betting the matchup. Couple people are gonna
- 39:01Speaker 1: say that Atlanta struggled on the road this year, which
- 39:03Speaker 1: is fair criticism they have. If you look at the
- 39:04Speaker 1: data this year, they have definitely struggled on the road.
- 39:08Speaker 1: There's no home field advantage here with Washington, so I
- 39:10Speaker 1: kind of throw that one out in this position. Then
- 39:13Speaker 1: for Broncos, oh god, they're two and a half point
- 39:17Speaker 1: favorites of Carolina. That's how bad Carolina is that the
- 39:21Speaker 1: Broncos are two and a half point favorites on the road,
- 39:25Speaker 1: and this Broncos team is just dreadful. This is an
- 39:28Speaker 1: auto play on the under for sure. Um, but what
- 39:33Speaker 1: do we think of the side here? I immediately regretted
- 39:36Speaker 1: spending any time on this game. Work in the number,
- 39:38Speaker 1: you're trying to figure this game out. It was truly pointless,
- 39:40Speaker 1: where it's like I don't know where I'm getting from
- 39:42Speaker 1: either quarterback. I know exactly what I'm getting from both defenses.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Chad just nailed it. I'll just take the under pass
- 39:48Speaker 1: on this game, Like am I want to take Carolina
- 39:51Speaker 1: because who the hell is Denverna be catching points right now?
- 39:53Speaker 1: They got nothing working. Um, just an absolute train wreck
- 39:57Speaker 1: of the season. It's real shame. Chad then listen to
- 40:00Speaker 1: his co host All Summer talking about how bad Russell
- 40:04Speaker 1: Wilson has that I ever imagined to be this bad. No,
- 40:07Speaker 1: this is crazy. It is crazy how bad he is
- 40:10Speaker 1: and the whole since the whole situation is so crazy,
- 40:12Speaker 1: I just can't believe they gave him that contract. Um.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Just feel so terrible with Denver fans. So, yeah, I'd
- 40:19Speaker 1: love to take Panthers here. Maybe I will if it's
- 40:21Speaker 1: same Donald at quarterback, but Baker Mayfield can't do it,
- 40:25Speaker 1: can't do it, So I'll just take the under So. Um,
- 40:28Speaker 1: we have a stat. Evan Abrams put it out. I
- 40:32Speaker 1: believe our crack research lead. The total in this game
- 40:37Speaker 1: is thirty five. Wow. I think it's one of the
- 40:40Speaker 1: lowest totals in the past twenty years. I'd still play that.
- 40:45Speaker 1: I'd still play the under. Yeah, I mean the lowest
- 40:48Speaker 1: total in college football was I think it was the
- 40:51Speaker 1: same thing. It was like thirty three or thirty four.
- 40:53Speaker 1: It went under. So I mean clearly it's sometimes you
- 40:58Speaker 1: really can't go low enough. Um. Yeah, it won't be
- 41:00Speaker 1: fun taking this on there, but I just have no
- 41:03Speaker 1: faiths in you know, these offenses where both defenses are
- 41:06Speaker 1: just really supreme. The Raiders and the Broncos went to
- 41:10Speaker 1: overtime tied at sixteen. Yeah, they just can't score Denver
- 41:17Speaker 1: and they keep everyone from scoring. Speaking of the Raiders,
- 41:21Speaker 1: they're on the road. They're three and a half point
- 41:22Speaker 1: underdogs at Seattle. No brainer. Take Seattle here every time.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Raiders coming off a big overtime divisional win, now going
- 41:31Speaker 1: on the road, back to back road games. What a
- 41:34Speaker 1: gift for the Seahawks, which we love. We love the
- 41:36Speaker 1: Seahawks team. Great fun story, only fears Gina turning back
- 41:41Speaker 1: and go Pumpkin. He's had a week now thinking about
- 41:43Speaker 1: how great has started. The year has been a little scary.
- 41:46Speaker 1: But I'll take this number every time. There are just
- 41:50Speaker 1: one team's a bottom dweller. They've been bad all season,
- 41:52Speaker 1: they had bad coaching. The other team has really again
- 41:56Speaker 1: shown all of us how dead wrong we were coming
- 41:57Speaker 1: to the season with the Seahawks team. Carol is a
- 42:00Speaker 1: way better coach when we gave him credit for right.
- 42:02Speaker 1: He's a great motivator of men, you know, has played
- 42:05Speaker 1: outstanding lee the running game and working for the Seahawks
- 42:08Speaker 1: right now, that's the raiders biggest weakness is they really
- 42:11Speaker 1: cannot stop the runs. So in this position, we know
- 42:14Speaker 1: exactly what the Seahawks are gonna do. Again, Raiders are desperate.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I get where people are gonna say, like this game,
- 42:21Speaker 1: this is gonna be a lot for them, because this
- 42:22Speaker 1: really is their season. If they can somehow pull this
- 42:24Speaker 1: one off, maybe get some more momentum, they can maybe
- 42:27Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I just don't see it, Like they
- 42:29Speaker 1: just seem like an immature team. That team has so
- 42:32Speaker 1: many issues. Again, we heard all about all the fighting
- 42:34Speaker 1: and everything like that great win, great win against Denver.
- 42:38Speaker 1: This is a completely different breed here. Like the Seahawks
- 42:41Speaker 1: have played well all season, they had one bad half
- 42:43Speaker 1: against Tampa. I'm not gonna let them throw me off that.
- 42:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep riding the Seahawks team. So I like
- 42:48Speaker 1: this number and getting under four. I think it's important
- 42:50Speaker 1: because that four is becoming more and more of a key. Uh.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Speaking of four, it looks like the send the San
- 42:58Speaker 1: Diego the Los Angeles charter is around the road visiting
- 43:01Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals as uh short road favorites. Every fiber
- 43:08Speaker 1: in my body screaming you take Arizona here. I can't
- 43:13Speaker 1: do it. I just cannot do it. That was embarrassing
- 43:16Speaker 1: what they did in Mexico. Even if Kyler comes back,
- 43:19Speaker 1: it feels like this team has lost. The locker room
- 43:22Speaker 1: is lost. Bad, just bad, bad bad, And I just
- 43:26Speaker 1: want to fade it because it's charges the favorite. Me
- 43:27Speaker 1: and Chad, we love taking the Chargers the big dog
- 43:30Speaker 1: because they always will lose by three. We hate taking
- 43:33Speaker 1: them as big favorites. So again, this is one of
- 43:36Speaker 1: those I wish we could talk about later in the week.
- 43:38Speaker 1: I would have more information on this game, But sitting
- 43:41Speaker 1: here Tuesday, I'll go chalk and I take it with
- 43:44Speaker 1: the Chargers. But it's just doesn't feel great because it's
- 43:47Speaker 1: just a bad position to be in. This is not
- 43:49Speaker 1: a game that the Chargers as favorites it's a bad spot.
- 43:55Speaker 1: The Cardinals off a huge loss in prime time, You're
- 43:59Speaker 1: automatically getting a point and a half of value here.
- 44:02Speaker 1: It's really about what is your tolerance for betting on
- 44:04Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, betting on Kyler Murray assuming that he's back.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Will this team be that much better? They are a mess?
- 44:12Speaker 1: So you've just got to really be comfortable playing a
- 44:16Speaker 1: number because that's what you're doing here. Like, I wouldn't
- 44:18Speaker 1: bet the Chargers in this spot, even though we kind
- 44:21Speaker 1: of even though like it's disgusting, because the Cardinals are
- 44:26Speaker 1: the team where the value is. Yeah, and again it's
- 44:29Speaker 1: just luckily for us, there's fifteen other games this week,
- 44:32Speaker 1: so it's just not one of those I'm gonna spend
- 44:34Speaker 1: that much time on. No, there's only four games left
- 44:36Speaker 1: to talk about. We have given away our foxhol are,
- 44:41Speaker 1: which is the Texas plus thirteen. Our Simon says Jack's
- 44:44Speaker 1: plus four our exact decision Atlanta plus four and alf
- 44:47Speaker 1: four and a half big ball since he minus one
- 44:49Speaker 1: and a half. The Rams are on the road as massive,
- 44:54Speaker 1: massive underdogs against the Kansas City Chiefs, two touchdown underdogs.
- 45:00Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do here? I have no
- 45:01Speaker 1: idea what Staffords are gonna be playing or not, So
- 45:03Speaker 1: no Stafford, no Cup. I guess I'll go Chiefs. But
- 45:07Speaker 1: me and you had to talk all the time. We
- 45:09Speaker 1: usually like to fade. My home is a big favorite,
- 45:11Speaker 1: so I know the pros will probably on the Rams,
- 45:13Speaker 1: but we got on the Chalk. I'll go with since
- 45:16Speaker 1: a year, but no real feel for this game. We're
- 45:19Speaker 1: going with the Rams. We're not We're not putting in
- 45:21Speaker 1: the contest, but if we're taking a stand right now,
- 45:25Speaker 1: we're going with the Rams. I gotta say, I gotta
- 45:27Speaker 1: The public does win though, Chad, you are aware of that,
- 45:29Speaker 1: right yeah, but not as often as the wise guys
- 45:34Speaker 1: st It feels like, alright, well, I'm just saying that
- 45:37Speaker 1: the last two picks, we have been letting the perception
- 45:42Speaker 1: of the bad team get in the way of making
- 45:47Speaker 1: the right decision. I disagree. This is this is the
- 45:52Speaker 1: problem with Chatty. But this guy gets a little bit
- 45:54Speaker 1: of power, a little bit of winning, he turns into
- 45:56Speaker 1: a fucking monster. This is why I have to keep
- 45:58Speaker 1: him locked down, keep him home, because this is what happens.
- 46:03Speaker 1: I've been saying the same thing since before you were
- 46:06Speaker 1: fucking born young. Yeah that's so. Look, we don't have
- 46:16Speaker 1: to put them in the contest. We don't have to
- 46:17Speaker 1: make him one of our other bad chance. I'm not
- 46:19Speaker 1: betting the Rams. I'm not putting I'm not asking people
- 46:22Speaker 1: to put their good money on the Rams. Okay, well
- 46:25Speaker 1: I will. I'm going to tell you I am not
- 46:28Speaker 1: afraid of that. Uh. The Saints also massive underdogs visiting
- 46:34Speaker 1: the Niners. I loved the Niners last night. I felt
- 46:38Speaker 1: very strongly about it. I feel less strong now just
- 46:41Speaker 1: because I think the delta, like the value was gone,
- 46:45Speaker 1: you know, because of how well they played. I think
- 46:48Speaker 1: we we we were riding the leading edge into the
- 46:52Speaker 1: Niners and the Saints. You know, yeah, an they're bad again. Situationally,
- 47:01Speaker 1: I feel like you'll agree, though, this is kind of
- 47:02Speaker 1: where you take the Saints like, of course you do,
- 47:06Speaker 1: is that was an incredible game. It's more about me
- 47:10Speaker 1: looking at them and thinking, Okay, they're now going to
- 47:13Speaker 1: be talked about all week, will be the most bet
- 47:15Speaker 1: team for Super Bowl, no doubt all week. Like people
- 47:18Speaker 1: are just gonna be putting money on them because the
- 47:19Speaker 1: hype is real. Because again, Jimmy earned it, like that
- 47:22Speaker 1: was his best game. Of the season, and again people
- 47:25Speaker 1: were like, well, you said Jimmy has been playing bad
- 47:27Speaker 1: this year, but the numbers bear out otherwise. It's I
- 47:29Speaker 1: was more of out looking at their schedule, Um, look
- 47:33Speaker 1: at who they played defensively, and then you add in
- 47:35Speaker 1: that he has Debo kittle Auk and again before even
- 47:40Speaker 1: the fact that McCaffrey got there, they were still a
- 47:42Speaker 1: good running team. So that was my disappoint where it's like,
- 47:44Speaker 1: this guy has all the talent around him, this team
- 47:47Speaker 1: should be scoring more, they should be doing more when
- 47:49Speaker 1: they really weren't. Again, that was the perfect game, like
- 47:52Speaker 1: running the ball, passing, it was all clicking. We all
- 47:55Speaker 1: know the NFL doesn't worked that way. It's so weak
- 47:57Speaker 1: the week there's just highs and lows. It's all about
- 47:59Speaker 1: the match as well. So for me, the Saints, you're
- 48:03Speaker 1: expecting to get a little bit more healthy here and
- 48:05Speaker 1: in the matchup where we already know the public is
- 48:08Speaker 1: gonna come in really heavy on this four Niners team.
- 48:11Speaker 1: They will be in every ten tea, I mean three
- 48:12Speaker 1: team ten point parlay like that's that's gonna be the
- 48:16Speaker 1: move this week. It is taking big favorites like this,
- 48:18Speaker 1: So there's Ben a couple of upsets along the way,
- 48:20Speaker 1: and this is one of these I have marked as
- 48:21Speaker 1: an upset um Saints. Again, it's gonna take a lot
- 48:25Speaker 1: from the win out right, But that's you expect in
- 48:27Speaker 1: these kind of games where everything broke right these last
- 48:30Speaker 1: couple of weeks for the four nineers, you expect things
- 48:32Speaker 1: not that really work and be so smooth and this
- 48:35Speaker 1: in these upcoming games. And this is one of those
- 48:36Speaker 1: games where again the Saints, they've been bad this year,
- 48:40Speaker 1: but we've seen Andy kind of figure it out. So
- 48:43Speaker 1: it's not a prime time game. It is. I guess
- 48:46Speaker 1: you could say it's a little bit of prime time.
- 48:47Speaker 1: But as long as it's not a Thursday night, Monday
- 48:50Speaker 1: night or Sunday night game, I'm gonna back any A
- 48:51Speaker 1: Dalton uh And I like him in the spot. I
- 48:55Speaker 1: would say, should we be thinking about this for Foxholme
- 48:58Speaker 1: instead of Texas? There? You, uh, foxhel were the fox.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Let's clide down into the Foxhole. I would much much
- 49:10Speaker 1: much would appreciate that much more, all right, So let's
- 49:13Speaker 1: do that. Let's do Saints plus nine and a half
- 49:15Speaker 1: for the Foxhole. Because if you look at the like
- 49:17Speaker 1: one of these things is not like the other If
- 49:19Speaker 1: you're talking about the games that are double digit or
- 49:22Speaker 1: near double digit favorites and dogs, the Saints are much
- 49:26Speaker 1: better than the Texas. They're much better than the Rams. Yeah,
- 49:29Speaker 1: and again with Houston, it feels like that's a bet
- 49:32Speaker 1: mean you're making because we know we're getting value on
- 49:34Speaker 1: the line, and we know that only five other people
- 49:35Speaker 1: are betting that, and that tends to be good for
- 49:37Speaker 1: the books. Where the Ram scares me because I feel
- 49:40Speaker 1: like that's a huge number, Like I kind of want
- 49:42Speaker 1: to take the Rams because what you just said, that's
- 49:43Speaker 1: such a huge number. The Chiefs really don't blow with
- 49:46Speaker 1: teams out like that, and that's gonna be a backdoor,
- 49:48Speaker 1: open all game where the Saints here. It just because
- 49:51Speaker 1: that we're getting two points of free value, just because
- 49:54Speaker 1: of that last game, like that big blowout in the
- 49:57Speaker 1: primetime game that was so dominant. We have to take
- 50:01Speaker 1: the three points here. The Saints um hopefully gets to ten,
- 50:04Speaker 1: like I've seen a couple of books get close. But
- 50:06Speaker 1: then you look and there's couple of books at nine.
- 50:08Speaker 1: So I grab the nine and a half just to
- 50:09Speaker 1: be safe in case it does drop down to nine
- 50:12Speaker 1: packers on the road at the Eagles seven point underdogs.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Right now, I didn't really know what the much to
- 50:19Speaker 1: do with this game. Like part of me wants to
- 50:21Speaker 1: just take green Bay blindly because we know that green
- 50:24Speaker 1: Bay wants to run the ball and we know the
- 50:25Speaker 1: Eagles have struggled against the run. Um Eagles seemed like
- 50:28Speaker 1: they're going through it right now because that injury to
- 50:30Speaker 1: god Her that was a big deal. On offense, they
- 50:33Speaker 1: had multiple times a tight ends either had drops or
- 50:35Speaker 1: made bad penalties that slowed down that offense. We've seen
- 50:39Speaker 1: it on defense, the Jordan Davis injury. They brought in
- 50:41Speaker 1: two guys who actually played well at the d tackle position.
- 50:45Speaker 1: But man, that that's that's a lot to ask picking
- 50:48Speaker 1: two guys off the street now to come and stop
- 50:50Speaker 1: Aaron jones Um and a J. Dillon Again, that's that's
- 50:53Speaker 1: what green Bay wants to do. So as an Egos fan,
- 50:56Speaker 1: I'm hoping they're cooked, like green Bay has just done
- 50:59Speaker 1: for this season. They're gonna quit on the season now
- 51:01Speaker 1: that they're they're they'll kind of give up here. But
- 51:04Speaker 1: I just can't see this green Bay team. They stick
- 51:07Speaker 1: in most of these games, and the reason they've been
- 51:09Speaker 1: bad the public is they've been favorite most weeks. We've
- 51:12Speaker 1: kind of been taking them here every now and then
- 51:14Speaker 1: as a dog, and it's been working out for us. Chad.
- 51:16Speaker 1: So in the back of my mind, I'm looking at
- 51:19Speaker 1: this number, I'm saying, okay, seven, that's a fair number.
- 51:23Speaker 1: But I leaned towards the Green Bay in this position
- 51:25Speaker 1: just because again, I think the Eagles got issues right
- 51:28Speaker 1: now with the injuries on offense and defense. Yeah, I
- 51:32Speaker 1: think they were a little bit better against the Colts.
- 51:34Speaker 1: They found a way. Obviously, they added the two defensive linemen.
- 51:38Speaker 1: I think the defensive lineman, with another week of practice,
- 51:42Speaker 1: get a little more comfortable that a little more effective.
- 51:44Speaker 1: Peckers are not a great running team, so uh, it
- 51:48Speaker 1: matches up well for them because the Eagles defensive backfield
- 51:52Speaker 1: is really good, and so I like the matchup here.
- 51:56Speaker 1: I don't have a lean because I think it's priced
- 51:58Speaker 1: about right. Yeah, it's not a it's not a contest
- 52:01Speaker 1: play for me. It just seems like what the number
- 52:04Speaker 1: should be for a prime time game. Like I already
- 52:06Speaker 1: know the public end of the night, they'll either have
- 52:08Speaker 1: the Eagles moneyline, I have him in a teaser. They'll
- 52:10Speaker 1: just take the seven, so to me that that seems
- 52:13Speaker 1: like a fair number for this game. Last game on
- 52:15Speaker 1: the board, the Steelers on the road at the Colts
- 52:18Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Jeff Saturday getting interviewed by all those
- 52:22Speaker 1: old colleagues at ESPN as a two and a half
- 52:26Speaker 1: point home favorite against the Pittsburgh Steelers in that great defense.
- 52:33Speaker 1: I don't have a strong opinion. I think I probably
- 52:36Speaker 1: lean Steelers, but not Steelers in a contest kind of way,
- 52:41Speaker 1: just sort of coaching matchup defense matchup. Yeah, another prime
- 52:48Speaker 1: time under a game. I'll just probably just take the
- 52:50Speaker 1: under let it, let it, let it play out the
- 52:52Speaker 1: way will But I don't know, just a funky number,
- 52:55Speaker 1: like I wanted to take Pittsburgh at plus three. The
- 52:58Speaker 1: fact now that it's down to two and a half
- 53:00Speaker 1: is no surprise. Like the Sharps came in they took
- 53:02Speaker 1: the three as well. Um, but now is the value
- 53:06Speaker 1: shifted to the Colts, Like should we backing the Colts
- 53:08Speaker 1: team that clearly they played better at home. Again, they
- 53:11Speaker 1: took the Eagles the whole game to beat him. They
- 53:13Speaker 1: took the Chiefs down all the way. So again, mat
- 53:17Speaker 1: Ryan's clearly a different, different player for this team, like,
- 53:20Speaker 1: so we had to throw out those couple of games
- 53:22Speaker 1: that he didn't start that might be factored into this
- 53:24Speaker 1: line here, like this game probably should be closer to
- 53:27Speaker 1: three minus three and a half, where the Colts are
- 53:30Speaker 1: most likely the better team, but just hard to get
- 53:33Speaker 1: behind them. Um at three, but at two and a half,
- 53:37Speaker 1: it makes me want to take the Colts. But if
- 53:38Speaker 1: you can still find three, I go Pittsburgh. Right, you
- 53:40Speaker 1: got j j W back, got Fitzpatrick back at defense,
- 53:44Speaker 1: embarrassing loss at home. You expect Tom gonna get the
- 53:48Speaker 1: boys right, get them bounced back in this pisition where
- 53:51Speaker 1: I don't know how Saturday, I don't know how Satura
- 53:52Speaker 1: is gonna do the loss. Right, this is the first
- 53:54Speaker 1: time he's lost as head coach. I know exactly how
- 53:57Speaker 1: Tomlin responds after losses. So, just knowing the history and
- 54:00Speaker 1: exactly I'm gonna get from the Pittsburgh team, I'll just
- 54:03Speaker 1: take the three. If I can't get the three, I
- 54:05Speaker 1: guess I'll just pass on it and go with you under.
- 54:08Speaker 1: I think that's the right call. Sim And I think
- 54:09Speaker 1: he talked yourself into making good, good decision there. Um,
- 54:14Speaker 1: all right, we've gone through every game our foxhold is
- 54:17Speaker 1: Saints plus nine and a half. Simon says Jacks plus four,
- 54:21Speaker 1: exact decision, Atlanta plus four and a half, Big Balls
- 54:25Speaker 1: since minus one and a half. The leans we have
- 54:29Speaker 1: right now, Simon, tell me if I forget anything. Jack's
- 54:33Speaker 1: plus four, Jets minus four and a half since minus
- 54:37Speaker 1: one and a half, Atlanta plus four and a half,
- 54:41Speaker 1: Seattle minus three and a half, Saints plus nine and
- 54:45Speaker 1: a half. Those are the leans for our contest. If
- 54:49Speaker 1: we decide not to take a bye, so far, we
- 54:53Speaker 1: reserve the right to change it. Reminder, Simon and I
- 54:57Speaker 1: do the show. Convinced me send mornings at eleven am
- 55:01Speaker 1: at Action Network HQ watching the Action Network GAP watch
- 55:05Speaker 1: it on YouTube. After the show was over, I called Simon.
- 55:10Speaker 1: We talked about what we've learned from the previous few
- 55:13Speaker 1: days and decided what games we're going to put in
- 55:15Speaker 1: for the contest. So this is where we lean things
- 55:18Speaker 1: could change. We owe a scoot Roulette, we own a
- 55:22Speaker 1: money line round robin. When all hope is lost, all
- 55:26Speaker 1: that's left is relief. Let's play roulette. Scootroulette. We both
- 55:34Speaker 1: won last week, so you wont and I one, so
- 55:36Speaker 1: you'd be up to um eight wins and I'm up
- 55:39Speaker 1: to nine ones, so go first. And oh yeah, by
- 55:43Speaker 1: the way, I guess it was like our social media
- 55:45Speaker 1: team tagged us and uh stuckies, Uh like six pack show,
- 55:50Speaker 1: like we have like good weeks. So I didn't know
- 55:52Speaker 1: you would go through and your right little comments when
- 55:54Speaker 1: you put our fives in there. Yeah, what's cracked me up?
- 55:58Speaker 1: Just here in Chad's view of like, I don't know,
- 56:00Speaker 1: you just put things in there that I just wouldn't
- 56:02Speaker 1: put Like it just cracks me up. But you're the
- 56:05Speaker 1: best chat I like to relay our conversation. Yeah, you
- 56:08Speaker 1: just feel like something like Simon's a fan of the Eagles,
- 56:11Speaker 1: so this is a hard pick for him to make
- 56:12Speaker 1: on the culture. It's like, couldn't be further from the truth.
- 56:15Speaker 1: I could care less, But that's what you said. That
- 56:18Speaker 1: was our conversation. I just yeah, I said, as an
- 56:21Speaker 1: Eagles fan, I hate that to do this, But that
- 56:23Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. Like I never don't make a bet
- 56:25Speaker 1: because of the Eagles. Just don't. People don't freak out
- 56:27Speaker 1: about that. Me and Chad, we're just talking nothing nothing
- 56:31Speaker 1: too serious there. Uh, We're just we're just a couple.
- 56:34Speaker 1: Of guys. Scutal funk man, this is tough to do
- 56:38Speaker 1: on Tuesday, my favorite bet. It's fucking brutal. I can't
- 56:42Speaker 1: do the Jaguars because I can't let them do that
- 56:45Speaker 1: to me. Oh God, I want too so bad? Like
- 56:48Speaker 1: give me, um? Can I get plus three on the Patriots? Sure?
- 56:53Speaker 1: All right? Give me Patriots? All right? Plus three? I'm
- 56:59Speaker 1: tap in um. Oh god, this is tough. I'm taking
- 57:05Speaker 1: Uh Jesus Christ, I can't believe it's coming down to
- 57:09Speaker 1: me for Since or the Saints. I'm taking Since minus
- 57:16Speaker 1: one and a half ship fucking terrible, right, that's terrible
- 57:23Speaker 1: for the round robin money line, round robin, sucking awful.
- 57:31Speaker 1: M yeah, all right, buck money line, around robin. Start
- 57:38Speaker 1: off with the Patriots. Do you get a little Thursday
- 57:41Speaker 1: night beginner? Oh man? Because I like these teams on
- 57:47Speaker 1: the spread, bets hard seeing them when, but we gotta
- 57:49Speaker 1: do it. Jaguars number two, our favorite big dog of
- 57:55Speaker 1: the week. Give us the Saints money line. I'll take
- 57:59Speaker 1: some of the they'll he'll help bump the number up.
- 58:03Speaker 1: I mean, Chad's right. Like again, it's it's a kind
- 58:05Speaker 1: of game where it's tough to pick it. Because we
- 58:08Speaker 1: don't know who the quarterback is going to be. But
- 58:10Speaker 1: the Chargers are just one of those teams that they
- 58:12Speaker 1: just seem like they can't win these games. So if
- 58:15Speaker 1: Chad's b are, that would take Arizona. Um, how are
- 58:19Speaker 1: we not taking Atlanta? Atlanta is a good one. I
- 58:22Speaker 1: was gonna. I was in between them or Pittsburgh. As
- 58:24Speaker 1: I sit here, you like that more than picture? Well?
- 58:27Speaker 1: I like Atlantic because it'll just boost the boost the
- 58:29Speaker 1: number a little bit. All right, let's throw out. Let's
- 58:31Speaker 1: throw out them? Should we throw out? Let's throw at Arizona.
- 58:37Speaker 1: The throw at Arizona, We'll put planning for you. I'll
- 58:41Speaker 1: throw Pittsburgh in from me, all right, all right, Pats, Jags, Saints, Pittsburgh, Atlanta.
- 58:50Speaker 1: That is our money line round robin parlay. Last week
- 58:54Speaker 1: we were right about the Lions and the Chargers. All right,
- 59:00Speaker 1: Think we've done all we can do here? Right? If
