  Speaker 1: Welcome. Do you the Favorites Friday Edition? It's the Friday Edition.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You can already here that it's black Jack. I am
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Chad Millman from the Action Network. What's your deal man?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Why are you saying what's going on? What's happening? Because
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you're over here dancing like a monkey, clapping your hands
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in a way that I've never seen an adult male
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: clap his hands. A weird start. That music gets me jazzed,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and that gets us. I like it. I feel like
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we nailed that intro music. We're a season in. That's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the keeper. I feel like we're extra close today. Yeah,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you leaned in like you were gonna kiss me before
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the show started. How are you, black Jack Fletcher? I'm good.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I'm a hundred dollars Richard. I was going to say,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I know that you feel good because last week, we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: can recall the format of the show is rapidly evolving
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: from the super contest, where we had to convince ourselves
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to five about five picks, uh two. Now we're just
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: betting each other. It changed on the fly last week
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: on the show. Because I liked the Colts, you liked
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We had a hundred dollars on that game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: You won that bet. I liked the Pats, you like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. We had fifty on that game. I won
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that bet. And I liked the Saints minus eight, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you liked the Eagles, and uh, we had fifty on
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that game. And so you wound up a hundred dollars
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: richer this weekend. You wound up with a hundred dollars
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of my money. It's too bad you couldn't find yourself
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a shirt that buttons like higher. You can use the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: money for that. So every time you say it, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: go one lower. And you know what, if you're gonna diet,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you look great. I found a nice new bronzer to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: use some. I've got a nice glow. You got a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: new wardrobe that you're buying. It's on the way, it's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on the way. Don't spoil it. But yeah, yeah, everything's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: everything's working right now. You felt pretty good about beating
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: me this weekend. You were celebrating like Saturday night. Yeah
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I was, because I knew what I had winners. You
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: did not feel like you had a winner. When Will
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: LUTs Is lining up for a kick before before they
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it's almost it was weird. It was weird that Sean
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Payton played for the field goal. That is not like him,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and they were like at the thirty something yard line,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they ran a draw, gets destroyed and they lose five
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: yards and instead of kicking what is sort of a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: much shorter field goal five yards, which is a big difference,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he's kicking a fifty three yard or That was surprisingly
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: game changing that was played. It was surprising that Peyton,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that Peyton did that. Yeah, I'll give you that. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: didn't expect him once once they lost the yardage, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: didn't think they were going to kick the field goal.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But I wasn't that worried about it. I mean, listen,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Nick Foles. Nick Foles did what Nick Foles does. He
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was driving down the field to score. So, I mean,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: who knows butterfly effect? Right, if they make that field goal,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: maybe the Eagle score touchdown. Who knows. Well, I think
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that's what would have happened. So I think, like I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think Saints probably would have backed off a little bit exactly.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I was actually worried about that. Um. For the record,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I live bet the game. I had the Saints at
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: minus a half. Also, wow, okay, good for you. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I ended up ahead for the weekend, I was, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: other than our bets, I was five and two for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the weekend, did pretty well. I'm doing a lot of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: player props, some live betting too. Yeah. Great. I'm excited
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to see what we end up doing it to each
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: other this weekend. I am too. I have a weird
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: feeling that we're actually gonna agree on a lot. Why
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: don't we welcome in Georgina's so, Chad, you say it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the year of kindness, so please be nice to Blackjack today.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Underneath that steps and then the goatee, he's rather a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: sensitive soul. Thank you. That's true. Let me tell you something, uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: speaking of a year of kindness, should we have Georgina
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: keep talking right now. I'm looking at the chuckler, all right.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So you know, I've declared the year of kindness, and um,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I've declared the year of kindness in my house as well.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And so this past weekend, me and Stacy and Zach
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and Owen we went to brunch on Sunday afternoon Sunday morning,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and like everybody was just like, you know, sniping at
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: each other, like seeing who can make the funniest, most
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: cutting comment. And I'm like you were not the winner
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of that. I'm like, listen, guys, come on, it's the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: year of kindness. Here's what we're gonna do from now on.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Uh as we did last Monday when we all sat
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: together at dinner and I said, everyone had to say
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: like something nice about Mom. Every Monday from now on,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: someone is going to have to say or text will
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: start a text Chaine, someone is gonna have to say
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: something nice about someone else in the family. There's four
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Mondays and four Mondays and every month or a family
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of four, that's what's going to happen. So I said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: since we did Mom last week, let's do me this week.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Oh I can so Monday from Monday afternoon Monday afternoon, Um,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I text everybody in the Millman family and I say, uh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my fucking kids. They never respond to any of my
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: texts that I said, okay, So I say, um, I say, hey, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it's Monday. I said. This is five nineteen on Monday evening.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It's Monday, our day of kindness, and today focuses on
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: me with exclamation points. Everyone has until bedtime to text
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this group something you like about me. That was at
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: five nineteen. Immediately I named the text chain named the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: text group Millman fam uh. The next response at five nineteen,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Owen Millman has left the converse. He literally withdrew from
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: your family. He left. He's twelve. Oh that's awesome. Zack
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Milman wrote, you give good writing advice, followed by but
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I hate the chat name Wow Millman fam Okay. So
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: then I screenshot at this. I circled the fact that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Owen left the conversation, underlined the fact that Zach criticized
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the chat name, and then I wrote, the spirit of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: kindness is not being reflected here. Did your wife say anything?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Next to nobody other than Zach responded, Wow, you are
• 6:33

  Speaker 1: like in bed and I you did not respond? She goes, no,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't. Wow. That's right. That's right. That's like, that's

• 13:49
  Speaker 1: know this, but Georgina isn't live she records these lines. Um,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the Saints are now three point favorites. Huh. And that's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: when I bet them and you bet him at three?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: What did you bet the mate last night? I am waiting.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I see that it's a three mins. And let me
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: ask you a question. Do you an honest question? I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: wanted honest answer your You know a gambling expert, You've
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: got a job at a gambling company, You've made a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: career for yourself. It's impressive that you said, thanks. I'm
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: proud of you. Thank you. Do you think I'm being
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: greedy by waiting? I don't think you're going to get better.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to two and a half? No,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: But do you think it's a three minus one? Okay?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Do you think like the like clearly the money continues
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to come in on the other side. Yeah, And I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: hear you, and I think that that's going to be
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the case for a little bit. But I think it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: going to go the other way at some point, right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to I don't know how much
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you want to play with fire on it, because I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: do think that line winds up back at three and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a half? What's the bottom here? We're recording this Thursday afternoon.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I think you're pretty damn close to it, I really do.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how much further this is
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: going to go, because you're you're going to get buy
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: back the other way, And I really do. I think
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I kick off this is three and a half, right,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: But can I get well, i'd be able to get
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: it at three minus one time? And am I really
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: like what am I getting? Like? You know what? I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: would take it at one. Yeah, I mean it's it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: ten cents. Screw it. Screw it. I'm betting it right now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I'm allegedly allegedly. Okay, I'm not really betting it. Maybe
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: betting it, all right, I might have done it. There
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you go. I think that's the way to Chad is
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: making a bet allegedly. I think that's the way to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: do it. Last night, when I saw it went down
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to three, that's when I took it. Listen, we saw
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: this game once before. To leave is going to be
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: back for the Rams, so that's a help for them.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But you know what impressed me the most about the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Saints last weekend was they were in fourteen nothing hole
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: early to Philadelphia and then three and a half quarters
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that defense pitched a shutout. I mean, they stepped up
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and played real. Big Michael Thomas was outstanding like you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: expect him to be. I think Kimara and Ingram actually
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have a better game against the Rams than they did
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. There's nothing not to like about the Saints
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: right now. I've been on the Saints all year. We
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: both have futures on them that there's nothing that is
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: deterring me from what I've thought all year long, and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that's that they're the best team in football. So I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: agree with you. That game last weekend was so interesting
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: because I was never worried the Saints were not going
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to win that game, and I just kept I bet
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the Saints live bet him. I think I said at
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: minus half a point. I could have waited and got
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: him at plus three and a half. But you just,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: like you looked at that first half a quarter interceptions,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: crazy amount of penalties that guy in number on the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on the Saints offense and Andrew's Pete, like he he
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: had so many penalties that cost them, like they really
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: were four including on the at home on the touchdown
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like a forty eight yard touchdown pass from Tashi Taysom Hill.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: So like they were clearly the better team, um, and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they were amazing once they sort of settled down. And
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: so it was that fake punt, that fake punt sort
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of that was a Sean Payton fake punt, which really
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: was interesting to me, like the fact that he later
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: in the game when they had the chance that they
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and they were driving and then they were in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: thirty thirty yard line I think thirty two yard line
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and instead of like throwing the ball and trying to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: get a little bit further down the field. I know
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: they were trying to burn some clock, but he played
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: for the field goal, and then Michael Bennett blew the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: playoff and Alvin Camara got stuffed and they lost five
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: yards and all of a sudden, instead of a forty
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: eight year of field goals to fifty three yard field
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: goal and that cost him, you know, three points there. Um,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he's usually so aggressive, so that play confused me. Ah,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: But I loved watching this team. They're the best team
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in football, playing and simple. I mean, they're the most
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: well rounded. And the other thing that you just can't
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: underestimate is that home field is incredible. That dome is
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: so loud. It is so hard to go in there
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: on the road and get your plays called and get
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: everything done in the line of scrimmage. It is I mean,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: it's one of the loudest settings I've heard. And you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: read stories. I read a story this morning by Sage
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Rosenfeld's talking about the Bounty game with far There the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: NFC Championship game years ago, and he was saying it
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was the loudest menu he's ever been in. And and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Peter King said the same thing about last weekend, that
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: it was like being in the front road at a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: rock concert, Like it's it's a very very tough place
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to play on the road. I there's just there's nothing
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: for me that gives me any pause in taking the Saints. Um,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you say it's really loud. Have you been there for
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a game? I have not been there for a game.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I have been there. When have you been there? Oh? God?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Years ago? For what? Um? I was there for the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: crawfish Festival. Yeah. I wasn't in New Orleans for the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: crawfish festival, but I was there when it was happening,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and part of it's at super Dome. Explain this to me.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I was in New Orleans just for like a trip,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Like I was just going there for a long weekend.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Is back in your lawyer married days? Yes, yes, you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: changed your life. And I went down there and they
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: were having like this giant crawfish festival in the Superdome.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so what did you do with the crawfish festival?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Et crawfish? What do you think you do there? I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: don't know, Like you eat crawfish. They got a bunch
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: of different people boiling crawfish. In different ways, different seasonings.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Ship like that you eat crawfish. Why do you have
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to get so mad at me about it? Because what
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: do you think you do with a crows? What that's like?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I went to a seafood festival. What you do there?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: You can yell at me, You can yell at me.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: What do you think I can make fun of me?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: But I am going to deflect your anger, and it's
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: just going to make me more angry. I'm going to say.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It could have been like they're teaching you how to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: catch crawfish. There could be in the Superdome. Yeah, there
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: could be like boots about, you know, crawfish. Anyone would attend, equipment,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It could be a variety of things. No, it really
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't be. But that's fine. But I have been to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the Superdome, not for a Saints game. Also, I don't
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: need to be there for a Saints game. I have ears.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I can hear it on television. I'm very very loud. Well,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the way you've said it, not that I want to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: be a dick, but the way you said it was like,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it's really loud there. I know. No. I cited to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: people who have been there and written about because you
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: knew you were walking into Like I'm going to sound
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like I was there and I'm not. I'm experienced sportswriter
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and journalists. I've been to the Superdome. Uh is it loud? Chat? Oh,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: it's quite loud. So you agree with me? We've gone
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: down this whole fucking segue for you to agree it's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: quite loud. You got anything else on this What do
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you think of the total? I think it's spot on.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I don't really have an opinion and a half the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: numbers there? Yeah, yeah, I do too. I probably play
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: it over if I was going to play it, but
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to play it. I've made four bets
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: on these two games so far, and we'll go through
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: all of them. Um, do I have anything else I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: want to say about this game? So we both agree
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: we're on the Saints at minus three, love that we're
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: gonna skip the total. We have no tension between us
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on this game. We have tension between us on the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: audible levels at the super Dome. Not really, you agree
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: with me? And sort of what else can be at
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a crawfish festival? No, no, but not in this game.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Next New England at Kansas City Chiefs by three. Here
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: we go, Baby, chief Here we go Chiefs. I hope
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to get this at two and a half. I don't
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: know if I will. Bob Scucci on the Favorite Time
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Wednesday said that he expected this to go to and
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait. I've been waiting on it. I would
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: like to get two and a half. I will take
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: three if I have to, but I'd like to get
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: two and a half. I like Kansas City here. I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: remember when these two teams played earlier in the year
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: at Foxboro and New England won the game, but it
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: was at three points. I remember watching the end of
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that game and thinking, Kansas City is a better team.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: They had better team. I think they were a little
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: bit sort of shelf shocked and overwhelmed in the beginning,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and then they got better and realized, oh my god,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: we're better than their guy. Mahomes went in there. This
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: was still relatively early in the year. Mahomes was you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: everyone was talking about what he was doing and how
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: what a surprise it was. And he went in there
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and he he was he was a little bit off
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in the first half, and he threw two picks in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the first half. They left fourteen points on the board.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: He overthrew a couple of touchdowns that were wide open,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: not what he does. And I think the Chiefs walked
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: out of that building. No, and we can beat this team.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And I just I don't see anyway they go in
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: there with a defensive game plan like what l A
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: did last week, which blows my fucking mind. What the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Chargers did. I mean the Patriots, we sat here and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: talked about it last week. They don't have a deep threat,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Rob Groun Gronkowski there. It is one catch twenty five yards,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: not a factor, Rob ground That's the one, not a
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: factor in the game. There is no deep threat on
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: their roster. And yet the Chargers sat back and played
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a soft zone all day long. No matter how much
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Brady abused them with it, they just kept playing this
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: same soft own and giving them whatever they wanted. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: can't imagine Kansas City is going to do that. Now.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: They've got Justin Houston back. Also, he wasn't there in
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: that first game. They've got a really nice pass rush
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: with him and d Ford. I like everything about Kansas
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: City here. I just do. Also, the Patriots are not
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: great on the road in the playoffs. That is something
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people sleep on. They're not great
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: on the road. A couple of things here. Number one,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: if you go to the Action Network, download the free app.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: It's free app. What is it? Plack jack, It's a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: free app chat actual network Action Network dot com. Also,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: we do a story every week about the power ratings
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of sort of from a betting perspective, and what the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: lines actually are. The delta that is the difference blackjack,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the difference between the power rating. Don't why, Chad, We're
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: trying to appeal to a broad audience. Don't sound like
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: such a fucking nerd. Just say the difference. Just say
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the difference. The Mississippi crawfish delta between the power rating
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and the point spread in both of these games, UH
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: is about one to one and a half, meaning that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: both the Saints and the Chiefs were four to four
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and a half points better than their teams. From a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: betting perspective, if you're talking looking at just the power rating,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the bookmakers have over adjusted because uh, the Rams are
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: a public team and the Saints struggled with the Eagles,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and because the Patriots so destroyed the Chargers. The look
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: aheadline on the Chiefs Patriots on Saturday after the Chiefs
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: beat the Colts, which Chiefs minus for over the Patriots.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: The second that line posted again after the Chargers lost
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to the Patriots. After the Patriots beat them up, the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Chiefs were three point favorites and the public started pounding
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs started pounding the Patriots right. So, um, that
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: line actually at one point was like minus three plus
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred for the Chiefs. I bet the Chiefs that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: minus three plus one hundred on Sunday night. I got
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a really good number. I do think it might go
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: down to two and a half. Um. I think we'll
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: get there. I think you'll see a lot of late
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: money on New England. I agree, so I might bet
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: him again at two and a half. Um. Why not?
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I think people are just and listen, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: understand it, I completely understand it. But I think people
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: are just terrified to bet against the Patriots right now.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And I get it. But you know, in Tom Brady's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: own words, they stink they can't win games. I'm not terrified.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: That's good. It also worries me that we agree on
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: both of these games, these games black Jack. Before we
• 26:33

  Speaker 1: avoid the ones written by chat though. Let's get back
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to the show. What do you think of the total here? Well,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I think the transition over I'm going to transition here,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: so uh the total right now? Um? Well, I don't
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: know if the chuckler wants us to have Georgina said no,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: let's let's never do it. So am I betting the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: under in this game due to the cold weather? What
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: do you guys think? I think this is a clear
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: over great story. This is a great betting story right
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and we had a story by Markolant on Action network
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: dot com. You can also what download the free app
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: make the nerds happy? So? Um, you know downloading the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: app pays your salary? You think it's your fucking Andy
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Dalton videos that like download the app guys? You know? So? Uh?
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Adam Chef like the other day tweeted out that the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: weather it was gonna like a polar vortexas coming. It
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: could be as low as minus two in Kansas City,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and like immediately the line dropped, and so we did
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: a story like talking about the total on this drop
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: from fifty seven down to fifty five almost immediately off
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of that news. And it wasn't just his news, Like
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: people started hitting the number because they thought it was
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be cold and whatever, right, and so we did
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a story. Obviously, in cold weather games, the temperature doesn't
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: really impact the total. And so I asked Bob Scucci
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: again in the favorite time Wednesday, I'm like, where's the floor?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: He said fifty four and a half. As soon as
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: it got to fifty four and a half, I bet it. Uh,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: it's now back up to five and a half. I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: bet the over. I think it's a clear over. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: think these two offenses are going to get whatever they want.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a repeat of their
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: first game. For the most part, I don't think that
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the defenses in this game are going to really stop
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: either side. They may it down from time to time,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: but I think these offenses are going to do whatever
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: they want, and we're going to see a total at
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: least in the sixties. So here's one thing. The Chiefs
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: defense is great at home, really good at home, under
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: rated at home. You mentioned justin Houston being back. I
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: think he's been a game changer for them. Uh. Nick Wright,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: who hosts a show on FS one. He also hosts
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a radio show that I appear on every Wednesday on
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Mad Dog Radio. And serious, are we just giving free
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: ads to every competitor right now? Adam Schefter and Nick right?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Anyone else you want to plug? Breds Burger is fantastic.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Isn't he anybody else? Um? He? Uh? He's from Kansas
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: City and he made a great point in the show
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: when I was on it yesterday, and that there is
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: no defense in the NFL that has gone that has
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a longer streak of allowing not allowing thirty points or
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: more at home than the Kansas City Chiefs. Did make
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: me want to not at the over, but I just
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: thought it was really interesting. Yeah, the Chiefs play a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: lot better. Listen, the Chiefs don't have a great defense,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: they don't they have a good pass rush, but the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: stats are a little bit misleading because they played so
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: many games so far ahead that, yeah, they gave up
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of yards and they gave up points late
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: in games because it didn't really matter. So the statistics
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: are a little bit misleading. On their defense, they're still
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: not great against the run, but we've seen it year
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: after year after year. If you're going to beat the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Patriots in the playoffs, the one thing you have to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: do is get pressure on Brady. And they've got two
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: guys who are probably the two best pass rushers left
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs outside of Aaron Donald in d Ford
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and Justin Houston. So they're built to do what they
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: need to do, alright. So to recap so far, we
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: have no action against each other because we both like
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the Saints minus three and we're not particularly in love
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: with the total in that game. We both like the
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Chiefs minus th re and we like the over in
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: this game. Um, Georgia, go ahead. So who wins the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Saints plus a hundred two Chiefs plus two
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven, Patriots plus three hundred and fifty
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: or Rams plus three hundred and sixty seven. I like
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: how she's she says the hundred. It's very formal, Jeremy
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Saints Sat. Listen, I've been on the Saints all year.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: There's no I've been on the Saints all year. We
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: both have. I've actually been to a football game when
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the Saints played on the field in New Orleans's. Um,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the Saints are the best team in football. They have
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: been all year. There's you're still getting plus money here
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: almost due to one. There's nothing not to like about
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: New Orleans. Not the best sporting of it I've ever
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: been to, though. What's the best sporting I think you've
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: ever been to? Chat? Top five l s U Alabama
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge that smells like corn dogs two thousand
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and twelve. No, I was on the sidelines. It was amazing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Alabama came back and one in the last second. Think
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: it was t J Yeldon A J. Mccaren t Jen
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: had a long touchdown run. Number four. Number two, we're
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: going on number two. UM. Probably the David Tyree catch
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl to end the Patriots undefeated season.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Number three would be UM would be the Celtics visiting
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the Lakers for Game one of the Finals the second
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: year they played each other. The Staples Center was electric.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: It was just awesome. Like it felt felt like an event.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Number four would probably be the first Holy Field of
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Lewis fight at Madison Square Garden, and number five would
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: be Carl Lewis winning the final leg of the four
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: by one at Barcelona Olympics. Wonderful. But I'm sure I'm
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: sure you've been to a lot of great festivals. I'm
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: sure you you can probably name your top five. Hey,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: here's my top five gold rope chain festivals. Here's my
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: top five rope cowboy hat festivals, my top five crawfish festivals.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Here's my top five foe for coat festivals. I'm sure
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you've been all those things that I bet they're amazing.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I've been to many events. I bet it's a great
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: listen to many events because you know what your top
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: five event is going to be. You're kind of your
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: top five then is going to be the live favorite
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: pot at Folies January twel You're going to be there,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: so probably not people can say up, come see us
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: please it was me Paul and Jeff. Maybe please, Dear
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: God just comes so like this reporter has something to
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: write about. Otherwise I'm gonna lose it. Um, Okay, what's next?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Most passing yards this weekend. Patrick Mahomes plus Tom Brady
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: plus two hundred, Drew Brees plus two or Jared Goff
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: plus two eighty five. I'm going with Jared Goff for
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the value. Here's why I think the stats are gonna
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: kill him, and they're gonna be coming back from behind
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the whole time. Boom, it's plus two eighty five. I mean, really,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you could take any one of these guys. It's well,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you literally can, because I don't think it's gonna be Brady.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's Brady because I think I think
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: they will run the ball more. Um, this is why
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: your kids don't talk to you. I'm still probably leading
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the home black Jack Fletcher has left the conversation. Watch
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: you watch. I am going to get a video if
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: if you've seen the movie The Campaign with Will Farrell
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and Zach Galifianakis, I am going to pull a page
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: out of that movie and get a video of your
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: son calling me Dad, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: So get ready. That one's coming. Let's combine the next two.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: We got two more things to cover here. Let's combine
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the next two because I think they're connected. What will
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown play next year? Bonus question? Who wins the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: super Bowl in two thousand and twenty? On this Antonio
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Brown is going to dictate who wins the Super Bowl?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Are you having a stroke? Do not criticize. I'm going
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: to tie it all together. That's what you got somewhere
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to be not particularly I have a lunch that I I
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: have to go to it, but it's a start for
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes. Um, I can't tell you who lunch
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: is with. Oh my god. He nobody gets off more
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: than this guy. On meeting with people that someone's remotely
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: heard of. No one ever asked me like, hey, what's
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: blackjack like? Um? Oh, except for your your movie producer
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: friends who want to meet with me, use you as
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: a conduit to get to me. The many its books
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: offering odds for super Bowl for next year, some really
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: interesting numbers out there. Personally, I am looking at India one,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: super excited about that one. I feel like they have
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Saints potential for next year. Um, all right, well, I've
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: laid my cards on the table, black Jack. Why didn't
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: you tell me what you're thinking about? You're wrong? All right?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: What do you got? They don't have nearly the weapons
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: necessary to win a Super Bowl. Yet tell me, give
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: me an answer. I think it's the Chicago Bears at
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: twelve to one. It's the best value. I like the
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Bears that twelve to one. I think the Bears need
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: another wide receiver. But I think second year in that
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: offense for Travisky, I think he kind of comes alive
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit. They trust him a little more. Also,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: their defense is fantastic. Twelve to one, pretty good odds
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: on a team that that looked really nice this year
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and I think is only going to get better. Um. Also,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, who the hell knows what's going to happen
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: with Kareem Hunt, But the Bears don't seem like they've
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: ruled out bringing him in next year. And if you
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: add him to that offense, that's a that's a dynamic playmaker,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: you know. Everything else notwithstanding, can't argue with that. My
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: point is Antonio Brown thinks he will be on the market.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: The Steelers have said otherwise. Um, if he is, what
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: do you mean they haven't What do you mean they
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: said they haven't had any trade talks. The Rooneys came
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: out and said that they have a hard time seeing
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: him in Steelers training camp. Oh, is that what they said? Yeah?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I thought they said they hadn't had any trade talks.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: They said they have a hard time imagining him being
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: in training camp. Well, it sounds like they're pretty much
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: going to trade him. I think they have to, and
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I would. I would put my money on the New
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: York Jets. This feels like a Jets move. The Jets
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: have a hundred million dollars in cap space, They've got
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: a new head coach, They've got the guy they think
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: is their quarterback. This feels like the Jets try to
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: turn themselves into Pittsburgh East and go out and sign
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Levian Bell and trade for Antonio Brown and think they're
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: gonna beat the Patriots. Hint, they won't. Do you think?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: This is my question? Do you think that Antonio Brown
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: will make any difference in any team's Super Bowl odds?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: The Jets are at a hundred of one. What happens
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: to those numbers of Antonio Brown goes to the Jets? Yeah?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I agree? Which team do you think Antonio Brown could
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: turn into a legit Super Bowl contender? Of the top
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: choices here? The Colts and the Cowboys. You want to
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: talk about the Colts. If the Colts added a playmaker
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: like that for Andrew Luck with t Y Hilton on
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: the other side. Now, now, now I buy it. I'm
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: all for that, I think Dallas. But Dallas doesn't have
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the draft capit after the Amari Cooper trade, so Dallas
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: is kind of out on this. What about the Colts?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: What can the Colts do? The cults have listened. The
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Colts have a hundred and twenty million in cap space,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: They have the money, and realistically they've got what nine
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: picks in this year's draft, so they can make a move.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Look at you, Yeah, I pay attention to sports. That
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: is amazing. Yeah, I don't look at spreadsheets all day. Buddy. Um,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the Colts would be the team if I was on
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: here that I would. I would go out and get
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: because I think he does make them a contender. You
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: can throw t Y Hilton Antonio Brown. You can't defend
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: those two guys. There's no fucking way nobody can defend this.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: So I'm definitely going to buy the culte. Now, I
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: just don't know if they're going to make the move.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: If they if they're willing to do it, Listen, a
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: first round draft pick gets this done right now, right now?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Do you think the cults see it as uh, their
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown away from doing this and if they get him,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: like they immediately become a legit contender and it's worth
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the first round pick? Well, I mean, look, the cults
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: are going a draft in the twenties right now. So
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: is it worth giving up a pick in the twenties
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: and still having eight more draft picks with a team
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that's really good? They're really young. They've got a lot
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: of nice young playmakers on defense. Darius Leonard was outstanding
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: this year. The offensive line with Quentin Nelson was great. Yeah. Man,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm pulling the trigger on this if I'm them.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine Andrew Luck with those two whiteouts? I mean,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: how the hell do you defend that? Cults are um
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: plus thirteen, you know, give or take plus And I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: mean t Y Hilton. People sleep on t Y Hilton
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Like he does not get the credit he deserves as
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: a top flight wide receiver. If you've got him in
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown on either side, Like, there's just no way
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to defend that. Do the Steelers trade Antonio Brown inside
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: their own conference? I don't think that matters as much.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're trading him in the division, but
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I don't really think there's anyone in the division that
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: would pull the trigger on that if the Colts offered
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: them at first. Right now, I think this deal gets stuck.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I think he gets it done. I gotta tell you,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I love what you're saying. I'm impressed with like your
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: research and the professionalism you brought to this. Thank you.
• 43:20

• 43:30
  Speaker 1: you what I'm gonna say, but i'll respond to it.
