- 1:17Speaker 1: And it's beautiful, especially this past week because Simon, Simon Hunter,
- 1:23Speaker 1: my bff, my compatrick, my companion, dude. We had we
- 1:27Speaker 1: had the good, we had the bad, we had the ugly.
- 1:31Speaker 1: We went three and two in the five picks that
- 1:35Speaker 1: we feel best about, which is a win huge r O.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I how are you? How are you feeling? I feel
- 1:43Speaker 1: pretty optimistic as an Egos fan chat, I can't lie
- 1:47Speaker 1: to you. You wake up this morning. I can't listen
- 1:49Speaker 1: to radio. Usually that's my routine, especially after a bad loss,
- 1:52Speaker 1: like to throw on the local radio. And just here
- 1:54Speaker 1: all these South Billy guys just cursing out this team.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I can't do it. Just embarrassed. Man, It's like shame,
- 2:01Speaker 1: especially because we had in our contest. I just feel shame.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Like my initial read was so spot on. I got
- 2:08Speaker 1: duped by week one. I'm embarrassed. But you know, living
- 2:11Speaker 1: you learn it's my heart was too close to it.
- 2:14Speaker 1: That's that that was the problem. Shane Shane Shane. I
- 2:26Speaker 1: love the Chicago Bears. We all know this. I was
- 2:30Speaker 1: all over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and me and
- 2:34Speaker 1: you and Sean Crooner and Chris Raybon our show convinced
- 2:39Speaker 1: me that we do Sunday mornings eleven am at Action
- 2:42Speaker 1: Network HQ. When we go over all the bets, you
- 2:44Speaker 1: guys give me your favorite bets. You try to convince
- 2:46Speaker 1: me what I should take. Pregame, we were talking about
- 2:50Speaker 1: the Browns and the Bears, and I said to you, guys,
- 2:52Speaker 1: I said, look, the Bears gonna get blown out of here.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback who holds the ball against a pass rush
- 2:59Speaker 1: that will pin its Ears back, and a coach who
- 3:03Speaker 1: is a coward, who does not know how to game plan,
- 3:05Speaker 1: who refuses to acknowledge that this guy is more talent
- 3:08Speaker 1: than anybody else, and is losing the locker room because
- 3:12Speaker 1: everyone knows justin Fields gives him the best chance to win,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and he is not willing to do anything about it.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And I thought, like Dan Orlovski on Get Up Yesterday,
- 3:20Speaker 1: this is Tuesday afternoon on Get Up Yesterday, had this
- 3:23Speaker 1: rant about it was complete and total advocation of abdication
- 3:30Speaker 1: of responsibility by Matt Nagy of the Chicago Bears. I agreed,
- 3:34Speaker 1: I like I thought she should be fired after that game.
- 3:36Speaker 1: He was terrible. That was a terrible, terrible display. Every
- 3:41Speaker 1: ex player that's talking about that game is just ripping
- 3:44Speaker 1: him apart. And that's all you need to know. I
- 3:46Speaker 1: mean that he has to have lost that out locker room.
- 3:48Speaker 1: If all these ex players feel it that way, all
- 3:51Speaker 1: the players must all feel the exacting way inside the
- 3:53Speaker 1: locker room. Obviously, you probably didn't watch that game again.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I watched again because I enjoyed that game. I got
- 3:59Speaker 1: the under that was that was a good game for me.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I think that was your under playing convinced Yes, that
- 4:05Speaker 1: was my biggest total bet of the day. And we
- 4:08Speaker 1: talked about why I like the under. Everything happened. We said,
- 4:11Speaker 1: we just didn't trust the rookie on the road and
- 4:13Speaker 1: all the inexperience. I thought it was just gonna be
- 4:15Speaker 1: a heavy running game for both teams. The Bears couldn't
- 4:17Speaker 1: do that. Um naggy though, Like again, I know you're
- 4:22Speaker 1: probably never gonna watch that game ever again. He literally
- 4:24Speaker 1: kept the same exact style of offense and Andy Dalton ran.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't find two more different players than
- 4:30Speaker 1: Fields and Andy Dalton. So yeah, as much as I
- 4:33Speaker 1: feel pity for me as an Eagles fan, I don't
- 4:37Speaker 1: compare to Bears fans. The Bears things just seems like
- 4:39Speaker 1: a whole train wreck. Well it's also it's a very
- 4:41Speaker 1: interesting thing about the NFL right now, and I want
- 4:44Speaker 1: to remind people we're gonna get to um the Simon
- 4:47Speaker 1: says bet where you say just better right away. This
- 4:49Speaker 1: past week it was the Cincinnati Bengals. UM and we
- 4:54Speaker 1: may get to a hornet's nest and then on Thursday
- 4:58Speaker 1: we'll do our big balls better the week. Um, but uh,
- 5:03Speaker 1: betting the NFL is really challenging right now. We saw
- 5:06Speaker 1: on Sunday night we had the Niners minus three, three
- 5:10Speaker 1: huge pass interference calls that really set up the Packers
- 5:15Speaker 1: for success. And you are seeing holding penalties. You know,
- 5:20Speaker 1: unconvinced me. Sean Kerner had mentioned that holding penalties have
- 5:23Speaker 1: increased to more than two a game. You're seeing it
- 5:26Speaker 1: on so many plays, but more than anything I said
- 5:32Speaker 1: this last week, the NFL is less and less about
- 5:36Speaker 1: cover your ass decision making. And it feels like the
- 5:39Speaker 1: only coach who's still doing cover your ass decision making
- 5:43Speaker 1: is Matt Nagy, who's living off a rep that he
- 5:46Speaker 1: got to coach for Andy Reid and be considered an
- 5:49Speaker 1: offensive genius, and it turns out he's afraid to make
- 5:51Speaker 1: any decision that isn't by the book, whereas every other
- 5:55Speaker 1: coach that the Browns game was perfect. Kevin Stefanski has
- 5:58Speaker 1: two different times on fourth downs in not advantageous field position,
- 6:04Speaker 1: well he decides to go for it. Mattnegie has the
- 6:08Speaker 1: same option twice and makes bad decisions about what the
- 6:12Speaker 1: Bears should do. Should they punt, should they go for it,
- 6:14Speaker 1: should they kick a field goal? Should they go for it?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Makes the wrong decision every time. This is not a
- 6:19Speaker 1: cover yours decision making league anymore. And I think basically
- 6:23Speaker 1: we're talking about simple math here. Stevanski he went for
- 6:26Speaker 1: both times on fourth down right in in the Bears
- 6:29Speaker 1: red zone. So he just kicks field goals. That's six points.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Instead he goes one for two, he gets a touchdown,
- 6:34Speaker 1: so you got one extra point. So again, simple math.
- 6:37Speaker 1: People like that's why these coaches, it's like all these
- 6:39Speaker 1: analytic guys without do they know It's like, okay, it's
- 6:42Speaker 1: just basic math. You don't have to be some guy
- 6:44Speaker 1: that went to Harvard to figure out why these decisions
- 6:46Speaker 1: are different. But now you touch on the holding penalty stuff. Chat.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I think I went four and one on the unders
- 6:52Speaker 1: I gave out. It was I think unders eleven and
- 6:54Speaker 1: five um last week. It's just the penalties, like the holding,
- 6:59Speaker 1: it just kills drives. And we saw it all last week.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I think there was one over in the one PM
- 7:04Speaker 1: games and that was the Bills Washington games. So every
- 7:07Speaker 1: other game went under for the one PM slate, So
- 7:10Speaker 1: it's you can say what you want about the players
- 7:13Speaker 1: being sloppy. I think it has a lot to do
- 7:15Speaker 1: with these refs. They're kind of overcoming things, kind of
- 7:17Speaker 1: make a correction from last year where I mean last
- 7:20Speaker 1: year at this point, the overs were hitting out of
- 7:22Speaker 1: six clip so we've seen major regression in that position.
- 7:26Speaker 1: But um, yeah, we'll talk about this upcoming week. It's
- 7:30Speaker 1: the public had their day. Um, the public pretty much
- 7:35Speaker 1: dodged a bullet on the Ravens. Every guy I knew,
- 7:39Speaker 1: every asshole in the world had them that the taking
- 7:42Speaker 1: the six off on a teaser and had the Ravens
- 7:44Speaker 1: minus one and a half. Uh, they all had Denver
- 7:47Speaker 1: in their teasers. I mean every everything hit. The only
- 7:49Speaker 1: one that really tripped people up was the Chiefs. But
- 7:52Speaker 1: no one was betting the Chiefs really heavy to be
- 7:55Speaker 1: the Chargers. You know. That wasn't like a really big
- 7:57Speaker 1: money line parlay place. So I think we have major
- 8:00Speaker 1: regression coming up this weekend where we're due. We're so
- 8:04Speaker 1: overdue for a big upset like last year. We talked
- 8:07Speaker 1: about Chad the Jaguars Week one upset the Colts that
- 8:10Speaker 1: knocked out half of all the people our survivor contest.
- 8:13Speaker 1: We haven't had that yet this year, and I mean
- 8:14Speaker 1: this is week four. We still haven't had a major upset.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So we're gonna dive into the slate here. There are
- 8:19Speaker 1: a lot of red flags this week, so I'm excited
- 8:22Speaker 1: to break it all down. Yeah. On Thursday, we will
- 8:25Speaker 1: narrow down the field. We will talk about the games that,
- 8:27Speaker 1: uh we liked the most from Tuesday, how lines have moved,
- 8:31Speaker 1: how injuries have changed our perspective, how news has changed
- 8:34Speaker 1: our perspective. We'll talk about Survivor picks, We'll talk about
- 8:37Speaker 1: money line parlays. Today is the day we go through
- 8:40Speaker 1: the entire slate um our good, bad, and ugly from
- 8:43Speaker 1: this past week. We were on the sharpest from the beginning,
- 8:46Speaker 1: nailed it. Uh. The ugly we has to be Miami,
- 8:49Speaker 1: which we escaped with a win on that one. The
- 8:53Speaker 1: bad the Eagles were just trash and we made a bad,
- 8:56Speaker 1: bad call on the Eagles at plus three and a half,
- 8:59Speaker 1: plus four against the Cowboys. We're ready to move on.
- 9:03Speaker 1: We're on to Cincinnati. Jacksonville Jaguars at Cincinnati Bengals Thursday night.
- 9:10Speaker 1: The resurgent, amazing, Bengals the Cincinnati Bengals game roaring back
- 9:20Speaker 1: look aheadline, the line that was posted, you know, in
- 9:23Speaker 1: advance of games last week. The Bengals were two and
- 9:26Speaker 1: a half point favorites. The Bengals two and one win
- 9:29Speaker 1: over Minnesota win over Pittsburgh minus seven and a half.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Whoa Nana, damn it, chat, damn it? Why do we
- 9:40Speaker 1: have to keep betting the Jaguars? What? What is? This
- 9:44Speaker 1: is such a blessing and a curse in life. It's
- 9:46Speaker 1: the truest thing I ever read with this. Um, I
- 9:49Speaker 1: hate it. I hate that we have to make this
- 9:51Speaker 1: bet because just look at the board. I love this
- 9:53Speaker 1: for our survivor pick. I mean again, we'll talk about
- 9:55Speaker 1: on Thursday. But Cincinnati, in what world do they lose
- 9:58Speaker 1: to this Jaguars team outscored probably fifty points to about
- 10:02Speaker 1: ten in the second half this year. Um, God, the
- 10:06Speaker 1: Jaguars are awful. I hate that you have to keep
- 10:08Speaker 1: betting on them. But you just talked about this line.
- 10:11Speaker 1: The look at was minus two and a half. Now
- 10:13Speaker 1: they're up the minus seven and a half. Um, yikes.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Let me frame it this way though, So let's say
- 10:20Speaker 1: we're gonna bet on the Jaguars, and we did. Last
- 10:22Speaker 1: weekend we had the Jaguars plus seven and a half
- 10:26Speaker 1: at home against the Cardinals. I thought, if there's ever
- 10:29Speaker 1: gonna be a game the Jaguars win, this is going
- 10:31Speaker 1: to be it. Um, we're just cover Like that felt
- 10:34Speaker 1: like a guarantee cover kind of game. So the question
- 10:38Speaker 1: is this team has Owen seventeen written all over it.
- 10:42Speaker 1: The coach stinks, the quarterback is young making bad decisions.
- 10:46Speaker 1: That was a horrible pick six that really cost the
- 10:48Speaker 1: Jaguars the game and cost them the cover. Uh So
- 10:54Speaker 1: why do we have to bet the Jaguars. We don't
- 10:56Speaker 1: have to bet the game, by the way, like there's
- 11:00Speaker 1: it's a point where there is diminishing returns on this precedent.
- 11:02Speaker 1: We decided where the Jaguars at the right side because
- 11:05Speaker 1: it's overvalued on the number moving so high. I don't
- 11:09Speaker 1: feel like I have to bet the Jaguars plus seven
- 11:11Speaker 1: and a half. You don't, That's that's why you get
- 11:14Speaker 1: to live a good life chat. But as a professional
- 11:15Speaker 1: I do, And I had this have four and a half.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I just did after the game with the Jaguars. No
- 11:21Speaker 1: way to I move this seven a half. So if
- 11:23Speaker 1: I think I'm getting three points of value. I bet
- 11:26Speaker 1: this number. Um, the Jaguars are terrible. Everything you said
- 11:29Speaker 1: it is so true, but since now is not as
- 11:32Speaker 1: good as people think they are. Um, they're actually our
- 11:36Speaker 1: best team right now for our competition. We're three and
- 11:38Speaker 1: oh and games involved in cincin that we picked them
- 11:40Speaker 1: twice and they won outright both ties for us, and
- 11:43Speaker 1: we faded them with the Bears and they lost. So
- 11:45Speaker 1: I I do have a pulse on this team. It
- 11:47Speaker 1: feels like with Cincinnati. And again I talked to my
- 11:50Speaker 1: Thursday nights, I usually go chalk. I usually do take
- 11:52Speaker 1: the favorite, especially home favorites. I'm not as scared of
- 11:55Speaker 1: it when it's a big number like this, but I
- 11:58Speaker 1: have to This is just it's inflated number, and this
- 12:01Speaker 1: is just a backdoor game. The Bengals defense is not
- 12:03Speaker 1: good enough to be favored by this many points. And
- 12:07Speaker 1: Lawrence he's bad right now. I mean, we haven't talked
- 12:10Speaker 1: about it yet. I believe rookies are one in ten
- 12:13Speaker 1: against the spread this season, and the only cover was
- 12:15Speaker 1: a rookie playing a rookie, and Mac Jones beaten. Um
- 12:19Speaker 1: it was Zach Wilson. So I don't know, Chad. I'm
- 12:23Speaker 1: not gonna make people do it, but this is my life.
- 12:26Speaker 1: That's like, these are the games I have to bet
- 12:28Speaker 1: because I mean, I do it enough. This is a
- 12:31Speaker 1: six kind of situation where you're just taking a team
- 12:34Speaker 1: that their own three, their own three against the spread.
- 12:37Speaker 1: We saw last year too, We talked about this, the
- 12:39Speaker 1: Jets and the Cowboys. They didn't cover for five six
- 12:42Speaker 1: weeks to start the year. So I'm not making people
- 12:46Speaker 1: better this. We're not putting this in our contest either,
- 12:48Speaker 1: Like I'm so out, but we're gonna be talking Thursday.
- 12:52Speaker 1: This might end up when our survivor picks, because I
- 12:54Speaker 1: just don't see a world where the Bengals don't win
- 12:56Speaker 1: this game at home on a short week against the awful,
- 12:59Speaker 1: awful coach at Irban. My So, when you think about
- 13:01Speaker 1: this game and I want to move on to the
- 13:03Speaker 1: next game, but uh, it's a game that's disgusting. It's
- 13:07Speaker 1: a game that you can't find any tangible reason for
- 13:11Speaker 1: the way the teams are playing to really have confidence
- 13:14Speaker 1: in the Jaguars, but you feel like you have to
- 13:16Speaker 1: bet it. You're a professional better You've got to take
- 13:18Speaker 1: every opportunity to make as much money as you can
- 13:20Speaker 1: in these five or six months. So you're betting sides,
- 13:22Speaker 1: you're betting totals, you're betting money lines, etcetera, etcetera. The
- 13:26Speaker 1: jack Sings isn't balancing their way though. That's the thing.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Like no, but here's my question. Here's my question. How
- 13:31Speaker 1: much do you end up betting on this game, like
- 13:33Speaker 1: as a percentage of bank roll in like the the
- 13:37Speaker 1: If you're normally betting, say two to three units on
- 13:41Speaker 1: a game, is this a one unit bet? How do
- 13:44Speaker 1: you determine what that is if you feel like you
- 13:45Speaker 1: have to bet it because the opportunities to make money
- 13:48Speaker 1: on the right plays is limited. It's all situational to
- 13:53Speaker 1: all I told you last week, like we do that
- 13:54Speaker 1: convinced me meeting on Friday. My two biggest bets on
- 13:57Speaker 1: Friday were the Chargers one out right and the Jaguars
- 14:01Speaker 1: who got smoked. So it is UM all about situation
- 14:05Speaker 1: and where alm angling at. But again that's the hardest
- 14:08Speaker 1: part where it's like I had a good day because
- 14:11Speaker 1: a lot of those unders hit and I hit big
- 14:12Speaker 1: on the Rams and I hit big on the Vikings,
- 14:14Speaker 1: two teams. I really liked UM that day, but I
- 14:17Speaker 1: gave a lot of it back one day night because
- 14:19Speaker 1: we talked about I took the Eagles plus four and
- 14:21Speaker 1: a half. I took the Eagles plus four. I took
- 14:22Speaker 1: him at three and a half. So that's the hardest
- 14:24Speaker 1: thing where this Jaguars because they've been so bad. Yeah,
- 14:28Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean say I had up close to
- 14:31Speaker 1: like ten K last week on them on the spread
- 14:33Speaker 1: and then probably another like two or three km their
- 14:35Speaker 1: money line, like involved in bets like that. At most,
- 14:40Speaker 1: I'll put five K on this spread. I'm just it's
- 14:42Speaker 1: one of those as a professional about this because there's
- 14:44Speaker 1: value on this line, but I'm not betting it big
- 14:46Speaker 1: again because I, like we just talked about, I thinks
- 14:49Speaker 1: something just wrong. They're like they're literally driving at the
- 14:52Speaker 1: end of the game to get this this back door
- 14:54Speaker 1: and Robinson fumbles it in the red zone, and it
- 14:57Speaker 1: just felt like every little thing that could have gone
- 14:58Speaker 1: wrong with the Jaguars kind of did, even though they
- 15:00Speaker 1: had that kick return at the end of the half.
- 15:02Speaker 1: It's it's bad there. I honestly like I wasn't giving
- 15:06Speaker 1: you much credit for how you were saying you think
- 15:08Speaker 1: Urban was gonna leave for usc. Every game that goes by,
- 15:11Speaker 1: you see wearing on this guy. I mean, if they
- 15:13Speaker 1: do start oh and seven, I think he leaves still. Yeah.
- 15:18Speaker 1: New York Giants at New Orleans Saints. The Giants the
- 15:23Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. UH lost at home to the
- 15:26Speaker 1: Falcons as favorites. UH. The one time we decided not
- 15:30Speaker 1: to bet on the Falcons because we've had enough, Even
- 15:32Speaker 1: though we knew it was the right side, we walk
- 15:34Speaker 1: away because we don't have courage of our convictions. They
- 15:38Speaker 1: are visiting the Saints. The Saints or seven and a
- 15:40Speaker 1: half point favorites. Ah, this feels wildly inflated to me,
- 15:48Speaker 1: wildly inflated. There's no reason to be making Jameis Winston
- 15:52Speaker 1: a more than touchdown favorite. I can't. I can't buy
- 15:56Speaker 1: into this team with him as the quarterback. I just
- 15:57Speaker 1: can't do it. We really wish it was still plus
- 16:00Speaker 1: nine and a half. That was a beautiful number one.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I opened at that, so I'm not shocked all it's
- 16:04Speaker 1: been bent down to seven a half. This is like
- 16:07Speaker 1: you just talked about, it's way too big of a
- 16:08Speaker 1: number for Winston that at any moment that guy drops back,
- 16:11Speaker 1: you're expecting to pick six. So I love Daniel Jones
- 16:15Speaker 1: on the road. I would have to go on bet
- 16:16Speaker 1: labs and look it up. I believe he's like ten
- 16:19Speaker 1: and five against the spread on the road in his career.
- 16:21Speaker 1: So we we take Danny Dimes on the road, we
- 16:24Speaker 1: fad him at home, and it's been working out for
- 16:26Speaker 1: US ten and four on the road against the spread.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Uh five four Leadin at home against the spread. I
- 16:34Speaker 1: mean there there it is people who follow those trends.
- 16:38Speaker 1: But there's something about the Saints that at it. I wasn't.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I just wasn't that impressed with them against the Patriots.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I thought the Patriots were who we expected them to be, right,
- 16:49Speaker 1: they were a team that struggled against a not as
- 16:52Speaker 1: good a team as we thought they would be in Miami,
- 16:55Speaker 1: dominated team that is every bit as bad as we
- 16:57Speaker 1: thought they would be in Miami. Yeah, played a team
- 17:00Speaker 1: in the Saints that is good in the trenches and
- 17:02Speaker 1: as a quarterback who still makes really, really really incredibly
- 17:07Speaker 1: bad decisions, and that's never gonna change. Jamis is as
- 17:12Speaker 1: Jamis does. I do worry about the Giants injuries. Their
- 17:16Speaker 1: defense is a little bit tattered right now. Yeah, Uh,
- 17:20Speaker 1: that's that's true, but we we talked about last week
- 17:23Speaker 1: that was such a look ahead for New England, the
- 17:25Speaker 1: same reason we really were off the Bucks. It was
- 17:27Speaker 1: just both teams are looking ahead to to this Sunday
- 17:30Speaker 1: when they're playing each other. So the Saints, I really
- 17:33Speaker 1: can't get a read on them. I don't know what
- 17:35Speaker 1: they are because they were so like thoroughly dominated by Carolina.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Maybe is that legit? You said that the Giants they
- 17:43Speaker 1: do have major injuries on their defense. But at the
- 17:45Speaker 1: same time, I mean I I believe in the Giants
- 17:50Speaker 1: team in the sense that they kind of always and
- 17:54Speaker 1: keep these ugly games close. We've we've seen it with
- 17:56Speaker 1: them to start the year. I mean, the Denver one
- 17:58Speaker 1: was was brutal, but that was weak one. They've they've
- 18:00Speaker 1: fought off in their last few games. So I'm not
- 18:04Speaker 1: gonna make you put it in, Chad, but that's it's
- 18:06Speaker 1: probably gonna be on our list, Buddy. Seven and a half.
- 18:08Speaker 1: That's that's too many points for Winston to be favorite
- 18:10Speaker 1: in a game. Oh Jesus Christ, I was thinking we'd
- 18:13Speaker 1: immediately not be having a conversation about the Giants being
- 18:17Speaker 1: on a list. Uh, And now I have to square
- 18:19Speaker 1: it because you think it will be. I'd be shocked
- 18:22Speaker 1: if we come to a consensus that the Giants are
- 18:25Speaker 1: on our Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles the last
- 18:30Speaker 1: place Kansas City Chiefs are going on the road two
- 18:36Speaker 1: Philadelphia Fly Eagles Fly. They're visiting the Eagles off of
- 18:44Speaker 1: a horrible primetime loss in which I really feel like
- 18:48Speaker 1: they gave back all the good will that you and
- 18:50Speaker 1: I gave them the first week of the season. Uh,
- 18:53Speaker 1: seven and a half point dogs at home is a
- 18:55Speaker 1: huge number for a Chiefs team that has really not
- 19:00Speaker 1: heard in its last I think they're one and ten
- 19:06Speaker 1: against the spread in the last eleven games each Dad
- 19:14Speaker 1: down by the way open eight and a half and
- 19:15Speaker 1: now it's seven and a half, and you know you
- 19:17Speaker 1: have to bet the Egos. This is typical um embarrassing
- 19:24Speaker 1: on our primetime game. I think they're horrible, their old
- 19:27Speaker 1: lines all banged up. There is no logical reason to
- 19:30Speaker 1: take the egostra other than the fact that they're not
- 19:33Speaker 1: as bad as they looked against Dallas um Man. The
- 19:37Speaker 1: Chiefs though, this this is like the game everyone's gonna
- 19:42Speaker 1: having teasers, Like, in what world do you see that?
- 19:44Speaker 1: Patrick mahomessing three straight games. I don't think it's ANFL career.
- 19:47Speaker 1: He's ever lost three straight games. Um man, scary, scary,
- 19:52Speaker 1: scary game. This one, Uh pretty much feels like, yeah,
- 19:59Speaker 1: what did this? This? I think original was six. Now,
- 20:01Speaker 1: like you said, I went to eight and a half.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Down down seven a half. This is gonna be like
- 20:05Speaker 1: a week. We're gonna talk about a bunch of these games.
- 20:06Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest descriptions of pros versus shows
- 20:09Speaker 1: a lot of these games, and this is a classic
- 20:12Speaker 1: example of every professional I know. It doesn't matter what
- 20:16Speaker 1: your opinion is on the EGNS. You bet this. You
- 20:17Speaker 1: bet this game seven and a a half at home against
- 20:20Speaker 1: the team that is got major issues right now, I
- 20:23Speaker 1: know the US had major shoes too. Something's wrong with
- 20:26Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They just don't look right like my homes
- 20:28Speaker 1: looks human. He doesn't look super human like he did
- 20:30Speaker 1: the last couple of years. So you said it, Chad,
- 20:33Speaker 1: we we have to take this number. This is just
- 20:34Speaker 1: what we do. What do you have it rated at?
- 20:38Speaker 1: I thought it was good when it opened at six.
- 20:40Speaker 1: I thought that was like I had that as a number.
- 20:42Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna moved to half a point. Um,
- 20:45Speaker 1: with the injuries, the egos have hal now to the
- 20:46Speaker 1: old line, so I had to I think I'm up
- 20:48Speaker 1: to six and a half now. But seven a half
- 20:51Speaker 1: is perfectly understandable, just because the sports books need to
- 20:54Speaker 1: protect against teasers, and that's what this number is. This
- 20:56Speaker 1: is a kind of a protection against teasers. So it's
- 21:00Speaker 1: it's scary times right now in Philadelphia. Chat, I'm not
- 21:02Speaker 1: gonna lie to this. This guy's here around. It might
- 21:03Speaker 1: be a complete disaster. Why do you say that? What
- 21:06Speaker 1: did you see that makes you say that he's just dumb? Um? Honestly,
- 21:12Speaker 1: we Miles Sanders has two carries and I both carriers
- 21:16Speaker 1: go for like I think one carry was fifteen yards,
- 21:18Speaker 1: like carriers for seven yards. Those are only two carries
- 21:21Speaker 1: the entire game. Uh, that game was one of again
- 21:26Speaker 1: he does little things where you just like, this guy
- 21:28Speaker 1: doesn't get it. And you talked about with um the
- 21:30Speaker 1: fancy going for fourth down. It was fourth and five
- 21:33Speaker 1: in midfield, Eagles for down twenty to seven at halftime,
- 21:37Speaker 1: he punted, Um, Okay, this guy doesn't get it. If
- 21:42Speaker 1: you can get points there, so you can even get
- 21:44Speaker 1: three points, it would literally be twenty seven to ten.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Then we got the Eagles will get the ball start
- 21:49Speaker 1: the second half. He didn't do that. We punted. It
- 21:52Speaker 1: was twenty seven to start the second half, and he
- 21:54Speaker 1: throws a pick six first drive and that's the ball game.
- 21:57Speaker 1: So I just think he's dumb, he's aired, he's overthinking things,
- 22:01Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be a head coach for more
- 22:02Speaker 1: than a year for this Eagles team. Everything I've seen
- 22:04Speaker 1: for this guy, he's a good rally, rally guy, he's
- 22:07Speaker 1: an assistant. This guy is not a head coach. So
- 22:10Speaker 1: that's that's why I'm so out on this Eagles team.
- 22:12Speaker 1: But at this number, I gotta bite the bullet. I
- 22:14Speaker 1: gotta take this just because this is so inflated. And
- 22:16Speaker 1: we talked that, uh, how many times have we faded
- 22:20Speaker 1: the Chiefs and it's worked out for us. It feels
- 22:21Speaker 1: like every time. So we have to keep it going
- 22:24Speaker 1: until they until they win to cover a couple of
- 22:26Speaker 1: games in a row. We'll just keep going against the
- 22:28Speaker 1: Chiefs and making money. I don't think anybody listening can
- 22:30Speaker 1: sens any bias against the coaches that are leading our
- 22:35Speaker 1: hometown teams in the Bears and the Eagles. There's nothing
- 22:40Speaker 1: yeah victriolic about any of these language. Houston Texans at
- 22:44Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The Texans are on the road, sixteen and
- 22:49Speaker 1: a half point underdogs to Matt Mitchell's looking amazing, turning
- 22:55Speaker 1: the tide, clearly getting over their issues from week one.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The Bills make men. You can something, throw
- 23:05Speaker 1: your hand on something, throw your hand back, and come
- 23:08Speaker 1: on now the Bills. I'm thinking it happen now. This
- 23:12Speaker 1: moved so I opened a fourteen. It's up to sixteen
- 23:16Speaker 1: and a half. Interestingly, the betting tickets are fifty one
- 23:23Speaker 1: forty nine in favor of the Texans right now. Yeah,
- 23:29Speaker 1: easy opinion. These either stay away, you take the Bills.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Uh cannot take David Mills on the road. This this
- 23:36Speaker 1: kid cannot put the drives together. If it's third and five,
- 23:39Speaker 1: it might as well be third and twenty for this kid.
- 23:41Speaker 1: It's just Houston is a train wreck. The only reason
- 23:44Speaker 1: we were in on them was because Tarad is just
- 23:47Speaker 1: a solid quarterback and affect these out. I cannot trust
- 23:51Speaker 1: a rookie making his first start on the road. Uh,
- 23:54Speaker 1: let alone this one. So yeah, I'm either gonna be
- 23:57Speaker 1: on the Bills or I'm just gonna be passing this game.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about it that much.
- 24:01Speaker 1: It's going to be the corner TV game right Like,
- 24:04Speaker 1: there's a lot of Bills fans, I get it, but
- 24:06Speaker 1: there's not enough Texas fans that the books are going
- 24:09Speaker 1: to think, Oh, this is a game that is attracting
- 24:11Speaker 1: people's attention. Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys. My favorite team,
- 24:17Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers four and a half point underdogs on
- 24:22Speaker 1: the road against the Dallas Cowboys. This to me is
- 24:26Speaker 1: a must bet Panthers and must play. We have to
- 24:30Speaker 1: put this one in. Cowboys have looked good and actually
- 24:33Speaker 1: a little side play. I've already bet the under in
- 24:35Speaker 1: this game as well. Dallas has played well. Doc has
- 24:37Speaker 1: played incredibly smart since he's been back, not taking too
- 24:40Speaker 1: bigger hits, making the right reads, throwing the right passes.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Carolina's defense looks for real. I know that McCaffrey injury
- 24:48Speaker 1: is gonna be a big deal, and you know we're
- 24:51Speaker 1: all waiting for the shooter drop on Sam Donald. This
- 24:54Speaker 1: just doesn't seem like a situation where it's gonna fall
- 24:56Speaker 1: apart for them. They have everything rolling they've had the
- 24:58Speaker 1: extent of time because they played there is a last
- 25:00Speaker 1: week Cowboys are feeling themselves. This line will be inflated
- 25:04Speaker 1: because of all the Cowboy loyalists bet in this lineup. Yeah,
- 25:07Speaker 1: we're taking this number, and it's interesting. These are both um,
- 25:11Speaker 1: I think they're the last two teams that are undefeated
- 25:13Speaker 1: against the spread or no denvers as well. So yeah,
- 25:18Speaker 1: this is where might be playing on fire here. But
- 25:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep Ryan with a hot hand in riding
- 25:21Speaker 1: Carolina because I just can't see their defense really again
- 25:25Speaker 1: blown out. And this is just a really good situation
- 25:28Speaker 1: where the Cowboys just had a huge, huge win and
- 25:30Speaker 1: the visional arrival. Now there's a big letdown game the
- 25:33Speaker 1: following week, so we we like this number a lot.
- 25:35Speaker 1: I've definitely I'm not doing it right now, but um,
- 25:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a decent amount invested on the money
- 25:42Speaker 1: line of Carolina. So if you want to make this
- 25:44Speaker 1: my sigmon says played chat out, I don't hate it.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Signon says sign do go. But the Panthers plus four
- 25:56Speaker 1: and a half this felt like an obvious one for
- 25:59Speaker 1: all the reason. As you just said, I do worry
- 26:02Speaker 1: a little bit. I do worry a little bit that
- 26:04Speaker 1: we have consistently undervalued the Cowboys. They looked much much
- 26:10Speaker 1: better in the opening night game than we thought they would.
- 26:13Speaker 1: They looked much much better last night. Their defense seems
- 26:17Speaker 1: to have more speed, They fly around the ball. Mike
- 26:20Speaker 1: McCarthy is still a horrible decision maker, and in a
- 26:23Speaker 1: game like this, this might be the difference between the
- 26:26Speaker 1: Cowboys winning and losing. Um So, I do have a
- 26:29Speaker 1: lot of confidence. I think Matt Rules an incredible coach.
- 26:32Speaker 1: We started seeing this last year. We've also talked about
- 26:34Speaker 1: how the opportunity to find value on a team like
- 26:38Speaker 1: the Panthers waynes much more quickly because there's more people betting,
- 26:42Speaker 1: more people seeing how well they're doing. So it's changing
- 26:45Speaker 1: their power wading for bookmakers. But this is a spot
- 26:48Speaker 1: where I do think you're getting a little bit of value.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Um So, Cowboys. Sorry, if you boys your minds three,
- 26:53Speaker 1: I'd probably be on them. That's what I had this
- 26:55Speaker 1: game at. It's just the fact that you can get five,
- 26:57Speaker 1: four and a half a different books right now. That's
- 27:00Speaker 1: it's just an inflated line. So that's why it's not
- 27:02Speaker 1: that I hate the Cowboys. It's just the line just
- 27:04Speaker 1: isn't favored their way. I neglected to ask you two
- 27:07Speaker 1: things you just mentioned. You already got the under on
- 27:09Speaker 1: this game. The total on the Panthers Cowboys is fifty
- 27:12Speaker 1: and a half. UM. We have gone through Jack's Bengals.
- 27:18Speaker 1: The total on that is uh forty five and a
- 27:21Speaker 1: half UM. Any immediate thoughts there? Yeah, I did the
- 27:27Speaker 1: over for the Bengals again. I think the Bengals defensive suspect,
- 27:31Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars defensive suspect Saints Giants was forty three.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Have you done that? Nah? Eagles Chiefs was fifty four
- 27:41Speaker 1: and a half. Have you done that? About the under?
- 27:43Speaker 1: But it's just it's literally a fade against Hurts. It's like, okay,
- 27:46Speaker 1: this this offense might be broken for this Eagles team
- 27:49Speaker 1: they had, I know they had a flukey touchdown or
- 27:51Speaker 1: two at the end of there, but their offenses, like again,
- 27:54Speaker 1: they scored eleven against the forty niners and they would
- 27:56Speaker 1: have scored seven against the Cowboys in a full game.
- 27:59Speaker 1: It was that last flukey touchdown. So I like the
- 28:02Speaker 1: under in that one. Texans Bills, did you do that yet?
- 28:05Speaker 1: That's actually took again? Took the under. People hate it,
- 28:09Speaker 1: but I'm an under guy. Um took the under again
- 28:16Speaker 1: And now a word from our friends at Fandel. The
- 28:18Speaker 1: NFL is back and Fandel's Sports Book wants you to

- 30:17Speaker 1: bets do you think you make in the first twenty
- 30:18Speaker 1: four hours of lens are open every take? But again
- 30:22Speaker 1: it's all small, like a couple couple hundred dollars here,

- 30:28Speaker 1: and then one or two couple of thousand dollar bets
- 30:30Speaker 1: just because the books limit, like they Lemon told about
- 30:33Speaker 1: Wednesday Thursday, how much you can get down? All right,
- 30:36Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns at Minnesota Vikings. It looks like I'm seeing
- 30:41Speaker 1: a couple of different things, anywhere from one and a
- 30:43Speaker 1: half to two and a half. The Browns are favored,
- 30:46Speaker 1: the Vikings at home getting points. You should have listened
- 30:50Speaker 1: to me last week. We love the Vikings and dogs
- 30:52Speaker 1: at homes chat hop on the train. Baby, why didn't
- 30:55Speaker 1: we do it? I don't remember what happened. I said,
- 30:57Speaker 1: I said, what we have to do one neither the
- 30:59Speaker 1: rams or them. We end up going to rams, which
- 31:01Speaker 1: didn't matter. Um, yeah, we we love. We talked about
- 31:06Speaker 1: it last week. Zermers. A dog at home has just
- 31:08Speaker 1: been so profitable to us over the years. This is
- 31:11Speaker 1: a typical game where we see this being a shootout
- 31:14Speaker 1: because Cleveland's defense again, they're improved, but Houston was running
- 31:19Speaker 1: all over them. They're passing all over them the same
- 31:21Speaker 1: way as the Chiefs it was more about the Bears
- 31:23Speaker 1: just having a let down game. So I like the
- 31:25Speaker 1: Vikings and I like the over. In this game, the
- 31:29Speaker 1: over has moved six points. Oh my god, never mind. Then, Yeah,
- 31:33Speaker 1: I hit that. I hit that Sunday night. That's shocking.
- 31:35Speaker 1: It's moved that much. I mean it moved from forty
- 31:39Speaker 1: seven and a half to the fifty three and a half. Yeah,
- 31:41Speaker 1: so I got a fourty and a half. Wow. Wow,
- 31:44Speaker 1: that's that's so the pros have hit that. Um, stay away, people,
- 31:49Speaker 1: that's scared. That's scary. That's a lot of money to
- 31:51Speaker 1: move at that many points. Big, that's officer bigly, That's
- 31:56Speaker 1: that's crazy. Look, I think you're a hundred percent right
- 31:59Speaker 1: about the ounds. I think there's vikings defense can get
- 32:02Speaker 1: after it. I think that um that the Browns benefited
- 32:11Speaker 1: from looking so good against a terrible, terrible, terrible Bears team,
- 32:16Speaker 1: And now you can look at the Vikings and say, Okay,
- 32:20Speaker 1: they lost to a Bengals team that might be better
- 32:22Speaker 1: than we think. Yeah, they lost to a Cardinals team
- 32:24Speaker 1: on a flute play that might be better than we think.
- 32:27Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, the Vikings being one and
- 32:31Speaker 1: two and being sort of a a underdog at home
- 32:35Speaker 1: that's undervalue makes a lot more sense. I'm gonna teaser
- 32:38Speaker 1: again too, if you're scared to take the stummach of people,
- 32:40Speaker 1: haven't having the vikings last week plus eight and a
- 32:42Speaker 1: half at home was never, never in doubt. So that's
- 32:46Speaker 1: how I feel again this week you have them over
- 32:47Speaker 1: a touchdown in a teaser, because that plus two right now? Fame?
- 32:51Speaker 1: Do I believe you take that in a teaser? But
- 32:53Speaker 1: for us, straight up, I have no problem taking this
- 32:56Speaker 1: love a lot and this is uh, this is like
- 32:58Speaker 1: you just said, there's too much faith being put into
- 33:00Speaker 1: this Browns team that shut down a rookie quarterback making
- 33:03Speaker 1: us first start on the road. I mean that game
- 33:06Speaker 1: got a lot of attention. Oh yeah, I mean people
- 33:09Speaker 1: are gonna talk about that all week. I mean, the
- 33:10Speaker 1: Naggy drama. It's just that's content king for all these channels.
- 33:16Speaker 1: But the way, here's my sid um and bubble head
- 33:20Speaker 1: Dog still the greatest quarterback in Chicago Bears history. But
- 33:25Speaker 1: I believe in Justin Fields not saying I don't. I
- 33:27Speaker 1: don't believe Matt Aggie. I am saying that right now.
- 33:30Speaker 1: We're already talking about like in the Giants plus seven
- 33:33Speaker 1: and a half, even though that's never gonna last into Thursday.
- 33:36Speaker 1: We like the Vikings plus two and a half. Um
- 33:40Speaker 1: and we like the Eagles plus seven and a half.
- 33:42Speaker 1: This is grow it's only about the worst chat you
- 33:47Speaker 1: don't want to know to be my biggest beats this
- 33:49Speaker 1: week so far, they're coming up. Oh god, well we
- 33:52Speaker 1: we also, by the way, we already decided that the
- 33:54Speaker 1: Panthers plus four and a half, as our signing says
- 33:56Speaker 1: better the week, So go bet it. Take a little
- 34:00Speaker 1: of the money line to a little bit to a
- 34:01Speaker 1: half the unit of the money line. Detroit Lions at
- 34:05Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. The game opened it Lions plus five and
- 34:10Speaker 1: a half down to Lions really plus two and a half.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Of course, we take the Bears, your Chad, the same
- 34:20Speaker 1: reason we took the Bears against Cincinnati at home. The
- 34:22Speaker 1: Bears always play better at home. You're never gonna have
- 34:25Speaker 1: a time in the season where the Lions won't be
- 34:27Speaker 1: more overvalued. Uh, they should have won last week. The
- 34:30Speaker 1: bookmakers are kind of counting as a win. The bettors
- 34:33Speaker 1: are counting as a win. They've coming heavy on the
- 34:35Speaker 1: Lions and they've completely tossed out the Bears. I'm not
- 34:37Speaker 1: making anyone bet this. There's no chances between our contests.
- 34:40Speaker 1: This is a pros versus show's game. The only logic
- 34:43Speaker 1: I can give you for taking the Bears. They're not
- 34:46Speaker 1: as bad as they look against Cleveland. It's like we
- 34:48Speaker 1: talked about, it felt like sabotage by Naggie. I know
- 34:51Speaker 1: it's not. I know, like that's just crazy conspiracy theorists
- 34:54Speaker 1: as a fan, but man like you literally watched the game.
- 34:57Speaker 1: He didn't change a single thing from Andy dlt offense
- 35:00Speaker 1: to Justin fields even though they're completely different styles. Terrifying, terrifying, terrifying.
- 35:05Speaker 1: So I will betting the Bears. By if someone came
- 35:09Speaker 1: to me and said, hey, I've I've taken the lines,
- 35:11Speaker 1: I've put them in a teaser as well, good good bet.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Because this is I I have zero confidences betting this.
- 35:17Speaker 1: I'm just betting simply the number that this should be
- 35:19Speaker 1: minus three and a half. It's minus three minus two
- 35:21Speaker 1: and a half. I take the Bears. I will say
- 35:24Speaker 1: one thing. I think that the Lions are tougher and
- 35:29Speaker 1: better than anyone who's giving them credit for. And we
- 35:32Speaker 1: all made fun of Dan Campbell. We all made fun
- 35:34Speaker 1: of the biting the kneecaps thing um. But this team, Look,
- 35:39Speaker 1: they came back strong against the Niners in Week one,
- 35:43Speaker 1: never stopped. We're the only ones that bet down on
- 35:45Speaker 1: that game. Better mid eight and a half, they played
- 35:50Speaker 1: the Packers really, really well until Jared Goff realized the
- 35:53Speaker 1: ball was wet. They went toe to toe, punching the
- 35:56Speaker 1: Ravens in the mouth. You know, I love these underdog
- 35:59Speaker 1: like parlays. I had the lines in there that would
- 36:01Speaker 1: have been a great hit for me, But as soon
- 36:03Speaker 1: as Tucker came out. I don't know about you, but
- 36:05Speaker 1: I was just like, there's no way that he misses this.
- 36:08Speaker 1: It's just that guy is one of a kind. God,
- 36:11Speaker 1: I hate kickers chat. They affect so much money in
- 36:14Speaker 1: my life. The total in this game for the Bears
- 36:16Speaker 1: lines is forty two and a half. Again another one.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I'll be eire on the under. I won't bet it.
- 36:21Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans at New York Jets right now, this game
- 36:26Speaker 1: move from the Titans three and a half the Titans
- 36:29Speaker 1: seven and a half. This is this is where you
- 36:32Speaker 1: have to reach deep down into your soul, pull up
- 36:38Speaker 1: your courage to bet the New York Jets. And if
- 36:41Speaker 1: you tell me this is you're gonna be your biggest bet.
- 36:43Speaker 1: If you tell me right now, your biggest bet is
- 36:45Speaker 1: on the New York Jets. I may have to turn
- 36:48Speaker 1: off the zoom. It's not but it's pretty close. Take
- 36:52Speaker 1: the points, take the money line. This is like one
- 36:56Speaker 1: of my favorite upsets of the day. Jets are winning
- 36:58Speaker 1: this game. I don't know how. Nothing makes sense. Love
- 37:02Speaker 1: love love love, love, love love love. The Jets in
- 37:05Speaker 1: this position are in the foxhill. I'm calling it right now,
- 37:09Speaker 1: Right now, let's climb down into the foxhole. You and
- 37:19Speaker 1: I are in the foxhill together on the New York
- 37:23Speaker 1: Football Jets. That's terrible. It is You're you're looking for logic, people,
- 37:28Speaker 1: There is no logic behind this bet. The Jets are horrible,
- 37:32Speaker 1: their old lines banged up. Their quarterback is bad, bad,
- 37:36Speaker 1: bad bad. Uh. This number is huge. This is a
- 37:40Speaker 1: way too big of a number for a Tennessee team.
- 37:42Speaker 1: That okay, huge upset win over the Seahawks. Then they
- 37:47Speaker 1: come home, they get a big win against division arrival
- 37:49Speaker 1: on the Colts, which the coult have owned that the
- 37:52Speaker 1: last couple of years. So that is a huge, huge
- 37:54Speaker 1: win for Tennessee Titans. Now they're going on the way
- 37:57Speaker 1: to play a Jets team that I don't think they
- 37:59Speaker 1: scored single point against Denver Um. Yeah, Chad, this is gross.
- 38:04Speaker 1: This is right up my alley. This is this is
- 38:06Speaker 1: what I love to do, suffer and pain. These rookies
- 38:10Speaker 1: cannot keep not covering the like eventually tide has to turn.
- 38:14Speaker 1: This is insane. Vegas has given us a lot of
- 38:16Speaker 1: a lot of points here. They're given us a lot
- 38:18Speaker 1: of value to say, please, someone save us and bet
- 38:21Speaker 1: us with the Jets. And I'm that guy. Um, I
- 38:25Speaker 1: promise you right now, I won't put this on convinced
- 38:26Speaker 1: me because I feel so terrible with the Jags, But
- 38:29Speaker 1: this is this is one of my favorite bets of
- 38:30Speaker 1: the week, the Jets plus seven a half. Jesus Christ,
- 38:36Speaker 1: something's gotta knock on these people and survivor contest like,
- 38:39Speaker 1: there's gonna be some crazy upsets this This has to
- 38:42Speaker 1: be one on on the board. I mean, Zack Wilson.
- 38:45Speaker 1: You jumped off that Zack Wilson bandwagon pretty quickly, because
- 38:49Speaker 1: three or four weeks ago you're talking about how you
- 38:51Speaker 1: think he's the best of the rookie class. Still do um.
- 38:54Speaker 1: He's just not putting position to concede. I mean my
- 38:57Speaker 1: early reads were spot on. Mac Jones. Ain't that good.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence not in a good position right now. The
- 39:03Speaker 1: head coaching is terrible. Uh, we'll see the justin fields thing,
- 39:07Speaker 1: you know. I feel about that. Ohio State doesn't produce quarterbacks.
- 39:10Speaker 1: The Bears can't draft quarterbacks. Uh. Tray Lance right now,
- 39:14Speaker 1: I think he's like third for Rookie of the Year
- 39:15Speaker 1: because he's not playing. That's that's all you have to
- 39:18Speaker 1: say about this rookie class right now. That's how bad
- 39:22Speaker 1: the rookie classes. Trey Lance has been in for like
- 39:25Speaker 1: three plays adowns, all touchdowns, and he's third in the
- 39:30Speaker 1: year in Rookie of the Year balloting. Yeah, in Rookie
- 39:32Speaker 1: of the Year odds. Oh my god, that's so true.
- 39:35Speaker 1: Indianapolis Cults at Miami Dolphins. Dolphins are very short home
- 39:41Speaker 1: favorites here. These are not very good teams. These are
- 39:44Speaker 1: teams that that are not living up to any of
- 39:46Speaker 1: the expectations that we had before the season began. The
- 39:48Speaker 1: total in this game is forty three and a half
- 39:50Speaker 1: right now, which dropped three and a half points from
- 39:53Speaker 1: I don't know about this one. Simon bet Miami, I
- 39:56Speaker 1: bet the over. Bet to pass for me. Uh, probably
- 39:58Speaker 1: won't have more than two to three in this game.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Do not want to watch it, don't care about it,
- 40:02Speaker 1: Not gonna learn anything from it. Path Washington football team
- 40:07Speaker 1: at Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons who we have loved, loved, loved,
- 40:12Speaker 1: and then the one week we know we love them
- 40:14Speaker 1: but are too scared of that, then they cover a
- 40:16Speaker 1: short favorite. I don't think this Washington football team is
- 40:19Speaker 1: good enough to be a road favorite, but I don't
- 40:23Speaker 1: think this Atlanta Falcons team is good enough to be
- 40:26Speaker 1: a winner in the NFL. Yeah, that's what that. We're
- 40:29Speaker 1: simply taking Washington just because we don't believe Atlantic can
- 40:32Speaker 1: went back to back game. Washington is a more complete team.
- 40:35Speaker 1: They have a defense that can. Again, the defenses look horrible,
- 40:38Speaker 1: but I still have faith in that defense being like,
- 40:39Speaker 1: get stops when they need to. It's gonna be a
- 40:42Speaker 1: big difference going from Josh Allen, a guy who's playing
- 40:45Speaker 1: m VP level to Matt Ryan, who, man, did he
- 40:49Speaker 1: look bad against the Giants in that game. It's crazy
- 40:50Speaker 1: they end up winning and covering that game. I like Washington.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I like to get heineyke. It's it's not the very
- 40:58Speaker 1: pro of me to not take the home dog. But
- 41:00Speaker 1: they're certain situations where I just don't do it, and
- 41:03Speaker 1: this is one of them where I just like you
- 41:05Speaker 1: just said, I can't back to Stlanta team. I don't
- 41:07Speaker 1: trust that coaching. I don't trust the offensive scheme. I
- 41:11Speaker 1: like Washington to bounce back here. It's not pro of
- 41:14Speaker 1: you at all to take the short road favorite against
- 41:20Speaker 1: and especially with the defense isn't just not very good,
- 41:25Speaker 1: Like their secondary is terrible. And we thought this front
- 41:28Speaker 1: four for Washington would get some kind of pressure. They're
- 41:31Speaker 1: not getting any Uh. They look mediocre to bad. Um.
- 41:37Speaker 1: I think I thought they had a chance to get
- 41:40Speaker 1: the bills. You didn't. You correctly predicted, Matt Mitchell correctly
- 41:44Speaker 1: predicted this would be a blowout. Josh Allen, MVP game.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Congrats who you guys are right? Um, I'm more curious
- 41:55Speaker 1: about how bad the Falcons offenses were. If Matt Ryan,
- 42:00Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, and Arthur Smith, they're terrible. And do you
- 42:05Speaker 1: want to touch on that Washington defense real quick? They
- 42:08Speaker 1: look pretty good against Herbert week one. I think that
- 42:10Speaker 1: they only end up with what points uh the Chargers
- 42:15Speaker 1: Week one Daniel Jones. Obviously that was kind of anomaly.
- 42:18Speaker 1: It was a Thursday night short week. He ran the
- 42:20Speaker 1: ball over them and then they played Josh Allen. I
- 42:22Speaker 1: guy we're talking about for m v P. So I
- 42:25Speaker 1: am with people. I get all the hate Washington's defense
- 42:27Speaker 1: is getting right now, but I'm just not ready to
- 42:29Speaker 1: be like, Okay, these guys aren't that good and they're
- 42:31Speaker 1: pretty terrible. Um, this is just a really nice bounce
- 42:34Speaker 1: back spot. So that's why I just like Washington. I've
- 42:37Speaker 1: been I've seen this movie before. That's what it feels
- 42:39Speaker 1: like where you know, I'm starting to feel a Lanta again.
- 42:41Speaker 1: I feel good after they got to win from me
- 42:43Speaker 1: outright and a cover. No, I'm not getting sucked back in.
- 42:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Washington. You just got the crack
- 42:48Speaker 1: pictoubtible by the way, literally as I'm talking, because we've
- 42:52Speaker 1: talked about this, I've got all the odds, I've got
- 42:55Speaker 1: everything in front of me looking at the Action Network.
- 42:59Speaker 1: UM page that just came in on the Washington football
- 43:03Speaker 1: team decent size bet No, oh my god, that would
- 43:09Speaker 1: have been insane. No I did send that out the
- 43:11Speaker 1: clients though, Oh my god, that's so crazy. Which was
- 43:14Speaker 1: it for I don't even I can't tell you how
- 43:18Speaker 1: much it was. I don't have I don't see it.
- 43:19Speaker 1: I just know that the number moved. Okay, that is wild.
- 43:24Speaker 1: I love that line. Church, Uh, Seahawks. Let's see here.
- 43:31Speaker 1: We are now going to the four Cloud Games, Seattle
- 43:34Speaker 1: Seahawks at San Francisco. Forty Niners. Oh gosh, oh gosh,
- 43:39Speaker 1: this line has moved to a key number. It was
- 43:41Speaker 1: nine ers three and a half. It is now Niners
- 43:44Speaker 1: minus two and a half. For the love of God,
- 43:47Speaker 1: for the love of all that is holy, I want
- 43:50Speaker 1: to take the Niners so badly here, but I'm very
- 43:54Speaker 1: concerned about that secondary and Russell Wilson, if he does anything,
- 43:58Speaker 1: drops bombs and the number of past interference penalties against
- 44:02Speaker 1: the Niners and the rookie DBS gives me payings, and
- 44:06Speaker 1: now it's impacting how I think about betting. Yep, we're
- 44:10Speaker 1: going chalk the Mahomes. Just like Russell Wilson. This would
- 44:14Speaker 1: be his third straight loss. If he loses this game.
- 44:17Speaker 1: We do not live in a world Russell Wilson will
- 44:19Speaker 1: lose three straight games. We will be taking the chalks
- 44:22Speaker 1: the plus two and a half. We will take the
- 44:24Speaker 1: Seahawks here, but you're saying we'll take the chalk, and
- 44:27Speaker 1: then you're saying we'll take Seattle. Seattle's plus two and
- 44:29Speaker 1: a half. Yeah, it's chalk though they're the public dog.
- 44:31Speaker 1: They're one of the public dogs of the week. I
- 44:33Speaker 1: bet you all the money's coming on the Seahawks. People
- 44:35Speaker 1: are thinking just like us. That's why the lines moved
- 44:37Speaker 1: so much. That's the Chalky play taking Seahawks. But I'm
- 44:40Speaker 1: cool that I like them in this position. Like Chad
- 44:42Speaker 1: just talked about the secondary and Jimmy Jimmy g Man,
- 44:46Speaker 1: he just makes some decisions where it's like, why don't
- 44:47Speaker 1: why not just put Trey Lanson and just get this
- 44:49Speaker 1: party started. We know we're not winning Super ol. Jimmy
- 44:51Speaker 1: j Well, there are plenty of times the other day
- 44:53Speaker 1: where it looked like this team isn't as an athletic,
- 44:56Speaker 1: isn't athletic enough to miss opera oportunities, And Jimmy g
- 45:02Speaker 1: just couldn't do certain things that trade Lance could, especially
- 45:05Speaker 1: in short down situations. We're aligned. I was confused because
- 45:08Speaker 1: I've never heard the term chalk used for an underdog.
- 45:12Speaker 1: I've always only heard it used for favorites, but the
- 45:15Speaker 1: way you used it was really for whoever is getting
- 45:18Speaker 1: the most bets this week, and so that makes sense.
- 45:20Speaker 1: I can live with that. Yeah. And it's like the
- 45:22Speaker 1: guy you go to the gas station, you know, he said,
- 45:24Speaker 1: who do you like this week? Fort or Seahawks. It
- 45:27Speaker 1: was like Seahawks by two touchdowns. So that's why I
- 45:30Speaker 1: just feel like the Chalky play. It's like people are
- 45:33Speaker 1: just out on the fourty niners, you know, the old
- 45:36Speaker 1: gas station test. It's my favorite one. I get it.
- 45:40Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams. The other NFC West matchup,
- 45:46Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals on the road. You're getting this at about
- 45:49Speaker 1: Rams minus four and a half. Tough game, Uh, scary
- 45:55Speaker 1: backdoor game. But I'll be on the Rams, but don't
- 45:58Speaker 1: feel confident enough to make it's one of our best
- 46:00Speaker 1: five and it'sxactly one of my bigger bets either. Um
- 46:04Speaker 1: Murray is playing at a really high level right now.
- 46:06Speaker 1: The Cardinals they have major issues on that defense, but
- 46:11Speaker 1: with this offense, they're always gonna be in it. They
- 46:13Speaker 1: just have so many weapons. So I do like the
- 46:16Speaker 1: Rams because I just like their defense be able to
- 46:18Speaker 1: get stops, but I can't be confident enough to make
- 46:20Speaker 1: this one of our best five. A little bit of
- 46:22Speaker 1: approse Joe split here. The bets are on the Rams,
- 46:29Speaker 1: the money on the Cardinals. It's because he opened at
- 46:34Speaker 1: six like that was a good number, taking the Cards
- 46:36Speaker 1: at that number, So now it's dropped way down to
- 46:38Speaker 1: four and a half. So I bet you by the
- 46:40Speaker 1: time the game gets closer, the money is definitely gonna
- 46:42Speaker 1: be shifted towards the Rams. Yeah, everything about me says
- 46:48Speaker 1: everything about this game screams take the Rams. It really
- 46:51Speaker 1: does this to me. This is this is a we
- 46:55Speaker 1: don't know who these Cardinals are yet, right, and um,
- 46:59Speaker 1: the way they beat Titans, the way they beat the Jags,
- 47:02Speaker 1: the way they beat the Vikings different ways kind of
- 47:06Speaker 1: dominated the Titans in a way nobody expected. Got lucky
- 47:10Speaker 1: against the Vikings, a team that may be better than
- 47:13Speaker 1: we think, and they held them off. So credit to them.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Won an ugly game as a big road favorite that
- 47:19Speaker 1: they should get credit for, which had flukey plays um
- 47:23Speaker 1: that normally leads to not just losing against the spread,
- 47:26Speaker 1: but losing the game out right. They did all the
- 47:30Speaker 1: right things. They did the things the winning team does,
- 47:32Speaker 1: and we know Cliff Kingsbury can win in September and October.
- 47:36Speaker 1: That's how I want to stay away. Like, like you
- 47:38Speaker 1: just said, everything points to their rams. But everything you
- 47:40Speaker 1: just said is why it's like, but the Cardinals are
- 47:42Speaker 1: in this they're a good team. So just for me,
- 47:45Speaker 1: it's it's too tight to really bet a lot of
- 47:46Speaker 1: money on this one. Have we gotten to the game
- 47:49Speaker 1: that is your biggest bet of the weekend? At Pittsburgh
- 47:52Speaker 1: Steelers at Green Bay Packers. The Steelers are seven point underdogs.
- 47:59Speaker 1: Pro games add pro game. You take the good defense
- 48:02Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh to bounce back. Roethlisberger is a moving corpse.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is playing like an m v P. Again.
- 48:09Speaker 1: I can't tell you people, Uh, do your thing, go
- 48:11Speaker 1: do your teasers, do whatever you want. With Green Bay,
- 48:14Speaker 1: it's gonna be me and three other guys be in Pittsburgh.
- 48:17Speaker 1: This is like the same thing with Miami last week.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Doesn't make any sense. The number doesn't make any sense.
- 48:23Speaker 1: But we bet the number and we take the value,
- 48:25Speaker 1: and you know, we hope that on fourth and nineteen
- 48:28Speaker 1: Roethlisberger somehow converts it and gets us a backdoor cover
- 48:31Speaker 1: because he he looks like he should retire. He he
- 48:35Speaker 1: doesn't not look like a quarterback that you still still
- 48:37Speaker 1: be playing. So it's a terrifying game. I just had
- 48:40Speaker 1: to tell people, like I had this rate up four
- 48:42Speaker 1: and a half, it's alway up to seven six and
- 48:44Speaker 1: a half. Now, that's why I take Pittsburgh here. But
- 48:47Speaker 1: it's it's disgusting. I hate that I have to bet
- 48:50Speaker 1: this game, but I have to. There's no way we're
- 48:52Speaker 1: putting in this game in our contests. No, there's I look,
- 48:55Speaker 1: there's a bunch of games I like way more. Well,
- 48:57Speaker 1: we're getting down to it, like there's not that many
- 48:59Speaker 1: games left and right now we're looking at Giants plus
- 49:02Speaker 1: seven and a half, Eagles seven and a half, Panthers
- 49:04Speaker 1: four and a half, Bikes two and a half. I
- 49:06Speaker 1: don't think we're putting the Bears minus two and a
- 49:08Speaker 1: half in the Jets plus eight in there. So like
- 49:10Speaker 1: we're not giving ourselves a ton of options on the menu.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying, Don't don't be so quick.
- 49:16Speaker 1: You're those Jets though, all right, well we'll think about it. Yeah,
- 49:20Speaker 1: if you want to take Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 49:23Speaker 1: I'm here for you. Jet. Look, Mike Tomlin is a
- 49:25Speaker 1: Rob Rock coach. There in a raw rock spot. They
- 49:28Speaker 1: need to win. What ra ra Mike Tomlin spot. We
- 49:33Speaker 1: win the game with the pool bodies right here today,
- 49:37Speaker 1: bring all the game to day. They're going into enemy
- 49:42Speaker 1: territory in a big game against the best quarterback in football.
- 49:46Speaker 1: This is exactly the spot where you take the Steelers.
- 49:48Speaker 1: It's Rob Rob, Mike, Rob Rob Mike. Let's hear it
- 49:51Speaker 1: from you, Mike. Let the greatest of all time. Look
- 49:54Speaker 1: at your work, all right. Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos
- 49:59Speaker 1: Broncos light slight home favorites. Oh goodness, this is this
- 50:04Speaker 1: is it the biggest bet of the day by far.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Love the Broncos. I got on the train last week
- 50:11Speaker 1: with Lamar and he burned me. This is not a
- 50:13Speaker 1: team below five hundred has an incredibly legit defense, and
- 50:17Speaker 1: then they've had a lot of injuries at the wide
- 50:18Speaker 1: receiver position, which is scary with Teddy Bridgewater like his
- 50:21Speaker 1: only guy left to Sutton. Lets still have no offense
- 50:24Speaker 1: and they still have a two headed horse in that's
- 50:25Speaker 1: running game. And we've seen Baltimore is not can't overcome
- 50:28Speaker 1: all these injuries. So you're telling me we're getting a
- 50:31Speaker 1: team that's getting barely ad the money any of the
- 50:33Speaker 1: tickets in Denver at home Milahai. I love it, Chad,
- 50:38Speaker 1: love it, love it, love it. This is guaranteed to
- 50:39Speaker 1: be locked in one of our five this game. The
- 50:42Speaker 1: way the tickets are trending right now, I would not
- 50:45Speaker 1: be surprised what the Ravens are if this flips like
- 50:48Speaker 1: the like the Bucks and the Rams last week, Like
- 50:52Speaker 1: ultimately on Sunday, we're gonna be betting on the Broncos
- 50:55Speaker 1: is under ducks because I've already like I've already seen
- 50:57Speaker 1: it where this is a This is one of the
- 50:59Speaker 1: bigger bets earlier the week on teasers. People are really
- 51:01Speaker 1: laying into the Baltimore Ravens. They're getting them up to
- 51:03Speaker 1: six and seven and a half seven right now, So
- 51:06Speaker 1: be careful of people. This feels like a good trap
- 51:08Speaker 1: here with the Ravens, the Broncos with Teddy Covers. You
- 51:11Speaker 1: know how I feel about him, and I feel like
- 51:12Speaker 1: we've made mistakes and not bagging him more. He's three
- 51:17Speaker 1: and notes this year, Like what the hell were you
- 51:18Speaker 1: doing show. Honestly, sometimes what you see in front of
- 51:21Speaker 1: you is what it is. You don't have to fool yourself.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Sometimes we do that. We fools like we wrote them.
- 51:26Speaker 1: I mean, I learned forget last year we took him.
- 51:30Speaker 1: I believe it's eight and a half underdog at Kansas City.
- 51:33Speaker 1: We might have been the only US and four other
- 51:35Speaker 1: people about that game, and like the last seconds, Teddy
- 51:37Speaker 1: got us that cover and that's just where it's like,
- 51:39Speaker 1: I love this guy. All he does is cover. So
- 51:41Speaker 1: I hated that we haven't we haven't used them this year.
- 51:45Speaker 1: The biggest game in the history of the NFL is
- 51:50Speaker 1: happening on Sunday night on NBC Tampa Bay Buccaneers at
- 51:56Speaker 1: New England Patriots. The New England Patriots are six and
- 51:59Speaker 1: a half point underdogs at home in this game. The
- 52:04Speaker 1: line opened to three. Oh my god. It goes against
- 52:07Speaker 1: everything I believe in. But I truly believe that the
- 52:10Speaker 1: reason why the Patriots were the team that broke every
- 52:13Speaker 1: rule for betters in the past twenty years, it's clearly
- 52:17Speaker 1: because of Tom Brady. So I'm betting on Tom Brady
- 52:20Speaker 1: to break the rules again. Is a big favorite on
- 52:22Speaker 1: the road, well, do it as a coward. That's what
- 52:24Speaker 1: I'm doing. I've already teased this game. I tease them
- 52:27Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. I did a couple of teasers with
- 52:29Speaker 1: this game, Simon Hunter, professional coward. In no world does
- 52:34Speaker 1: Tom Brady lose this game. But as a pro, this
- 52:37Speaker 1: game is gonna get up the seven seven and a half.
- 52:39Speaker 1: That's when I take the Patriots. I'm gonna keep waiting.
- 52:41Speaker 1: I haven't put a dime invested into the Patriots yet,
- 52:43Speaker 1: But even though I know I'm going to bet the Patriots,
- 52:46Speaker 1: keep waiting. This is gonna keep growing. Everyone's gonna hitting
- 52:49Speaker 1: this on money lines. Everyone's gonna hitting the teaser. People
- 52:51Speaker 1: are gonna betting the straight Tom Brady in a landslide.
- 52:55Speaker 1: Of course, little back door hope, that's all I'm hoping for.
- 52:58Speaker 1: I guess this bad secondary of the Buccaneers. I'm just
- 53:01Speaker 1: hoping that gets me in the back door when this
- 53:03Speaker 1: gets up to seven and seven a half. So if
- 53:05Speaker 1: you're with me and you want to take the Patriots
- 53:07Speaker 1: and you've already missed teasing them down to a pick
- 53:09Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers, just wait. This is gonna keep going up.
- 53:12Speaker 1: So I feel confident that I'm midle on the middle
- 53:15Speaker 1: of this game here and take the Bucks outright while
- 53:18Speaker 1: getting the seven and a half of the Patriots. I mean,
- 53:20Speaker 1: here's the problem is, Matt Jones can't throw the ball
- 53:25Speaker 1: to the back door. He doesn't. He can't see it
- 53:28Speaker 1: from where he stands. It's not in his root tree
- 53:32Speaker 1: to throw the ball through the back door because he
- 53:34Speaker 1: doesn't throw it down field. He doesn't. He's a dinging dunker.
- 53:38Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about it. That's why I never
- 53:40Speaker 1: got the hype for him at three. He is what
- 53:43Speaker 1: he is there. There is no upside like there is
- 53:45Speaker 1: with Trey Lance or Justin Fields, and these other quarterbacks
- 53:48Speaker 1: are drifted the head of him. Um mac is a
- 53:51Speaker 1: game manager, but he's actually surprisingly good shot at doing
- 53:55Speaker 1: these quick throws and intermedial thinks. He's just not a
- 53:58Speaker 1: long ball player. Like they're not gonna be flose to
- 54:00Speaker 1: big play team, the Patriots, but for them to grind
- 54:03Speaker 1: it out. I honestly like them here in this position
- 54:05Speaker 1: because they are kind of a grinded out team. So
- 54:08Speaker 1: it's it's more about how the Buccaneers are just so
- 54:10Speaker 1: banged up in the secondary that there are going to
- 54:12Speaker 1: the opportunities for Mac Jones a capitalize on that last
- 54:17Speaker 1: game on the slate, Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers,
- 54:29Speaker 1: the first game of the season without the Manning cast,
- 54:31Speaker 1: which is crushing because I've loved it. The Las Vegas
- 54:35Speaker 1: Raiders three and oh upset wins, sneaking one out against
- 54:40Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. The Chargers are three and a half
- 54:44Speaker 1: point home favorites. I love the Chargers here. I need to,
- 54:49Speaker 1: and it makes me scary. I talked to a couple
- 54:51Speaker 1: of the pros they bet this early at three, because
- 54:54Speaker 1: I was just trying to give a get a read
- 54:55Speaker 1: about how that people are feeling in Vegas, because again,
- 54:58Speaker 1: they're all a little bit of Homers. They're all going
- 54:59Speaker 1: to the these Vegas games. Now they're all becoming die
- 55:02Speaker 1: hard Las Vegas Raiders fans, and even they're like, you
- 55:06Speaker 1: know what, Chargers are the better team, They're in the
- 55:08Speaker 1: better spot. Take the Chargers here. Um, it's scaring me
- 55:12Speaker 1: a little bit, so I might flip flop on this one.
- 55:15Speaker 1: I'm not gonna really give out a pick yet. Um
- 55:18Speaker 1: I had the line of three. Now it's three and
- 55:19Speaker 1: a half, so I should be taking um. Las Vegas Raiders.
- 55:24Speaker 1: I just don't want to do it. It's just like God,
- 55:26Speaker 1: this has when grooding and really like lays an egg
- 55:28Speaker 1: but scary, scary. But people keep hitting this up chat
- 55:32Speaker 1: they bet are Derek Carr passing yards leader? If this
- 55:35Speaker 1: guy keeps playing overtime, we're gonna kill that bet. I
- 55:38Speaker 1: mean he's already played two overtime games. I think he's
- 55:41Speaker 1: up two hundred yards now, the closest guy in second.
- 55:43Speaker 1: So Derek Carr Man, we love them. It'll be an
- 55:46Speaker 1: interesting race. So I don't know who's in the second,
- 55:48Speaker 1: but watching last night, so they the Buccaneers cannot run
- 55:55Speaker 1: the ball. It's it's kind of like the same thing
- 55:57Speaker 1: in Oakland, Oklan cannot run the ball, so they just
- 55:59Speaker 1: passed the time. Alright, So here's what we got right now.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Our assignment says is the Carolina Panthers plus four and
- 56:08Speaker 1: a half plus a taste on the money line. Our
- 56:11Speaker 1: Hornets nest is the Jets plus eight plus a taste
- 56:14Speaker 1: on the money line. Feels like you might want to
- 56:15Speaker 1: parlay to a little money line parlor to the Panthers
- 56:18Speaker 1: and the Jets. Yeah, at least round robbing it. Who
- 56:23Speaker 1: would we round round. Well, let's talk about the Ron
- 56:25Speaker 1: robin on Thursday. Um, the teams that we're thinking about
- 56:28Speaker 1: that were narrowing down the field on for Thursday, Giants
- 56:32Speaker 1: plus seven and a half, Eagles plus seven and a half,
- 56:35Speaker 1: Panthers plus four and a half, Vikes plus two and
- 56:38Speaker 1: a half. I'm putting the Bears in there at minus
- 56:40Speaker 1: two and a half, Jets plus eight, Broncos minus one
- 56:46Speaker 1: right now, but probably an underdog by the time we
- 56:48Speaker 1: get to it seven games. We gotta narrow it down
- 56:51Speaker 1: to five and have some some substantive conversation about we will. Look,
- 56:56Speaker 1: there's already wanted two of those games. I could see
- 56:58Speaker 1: us dropping, and we have a game where I could
- 57:00Speaker 1: see us switching in because again, a lot of the
- 57:02Speaker 1: stuff on waynar and now it is just injury news,
- 57:04Speaker 1: because there's just a lot of stuff that happen on
- 57:06Speaker 1: Sunday that we don't have enough info on Tuesday really
- 57:08Speaker 1: give out. So I love those seven of our early picks.
- 57:12Speaker 1: That's why we do it again on Thursday. Do it
- 57:15Speaker 1: on Tuesday, look at the whole slate, do it on Thursday.
- 57:17Speaker 1: Narrow it down based on market moves, news and information,
- 57:21Speaker 1: more research than we've been able to do. Tuesday is
- 57:23Speaker 1: about getting the best of the number on our early leans. Thursday,
- 57:28Speaker 1: we will narrow it down. We will give our big
- 57:31Speaker 1: ball better the week. I know Matt Mitchell, our producer
- 57:37Speaker 1: has given us some reviews, so let me share because
- 57:40Speaker 1: we love to get the reviews in. Oh, this is interesting. Okay,
- 57:44Speaker 1: So this is a review from b Nash six five stars,
- 57:48Speaker 1: and this is all we care about. Say whatever you
- 57:50Speaker 1: want in the review doesn't matter as long as you
- 57:51Speaker 1: give you the five stars. Awesome Pod, Easy Listen, Great
- 57:54Speaker 1: Content would pay whatever it costs for them to re
- 57:56Speaker 1: record the voiceover chick who calls out the matchups. Her
- 57:59Speaker 1: voice is so annoying and I have to turn down
- 58:01Speaker 1: my radio. Also, the Simon says drop is another one
- 58:03Speaker 1: of those moments when I'm driving home and I hear
- 58:05Speaker 1: and I consider flipping my truck over the guard rail. Man.
- 58:09Speaker 1: Most hate comments I get is about the Simon says drop.
- 58:13Speaker 1: I have other people I love it, So I'm sorry
- 58:15Speaker 1: for people's love or you hate it. Matt Mitchell, Well,
- 58:20Speaker 1: I'll say this. A wise man, an expert manager, and
- 58:25Speaker 1: Chad Moment told me that feedback is a gift it's
- 58:29Speaker 1: never more of a gift than when it is critical.
- 58:32Speaker 1: And our friend B Nash six fifteen, who I assume
- 58:35Speaker 1: is a man of Nashville, I appreciate this feedback. It
- 58:37Speaker 1: will be taken under consideration. Hopefully you will not flip
- 58:41Speaker 1: this truck this week or in the weeks ahead. When
- 58:43Speaker 1: he hears these drops, I will lower their volume considerably,
- 58:47Speaker 1: try to meet you halfway there. We're not gonna swap
- 58:49Speaker 1: out Tina or voice and related to use a national treasure.
- 58:52Speaker 1: And the simon says, irritating song, it's part of it's
- 58:56Speaker 1: a lure. It will help you remember irritating pecks such
- 58:59Speaker 1: as take Carolina against America's team this week. So it's
- 59:02Speaker 1: all part of the mystique. But I do appreciate five
- 59:05Speaker 1: star reviews, even when they lambasted our show and it's
- 59:09Speaker 1: elements and I will be happy to send you some swag.
- 59:13Speaker 1: Just email the show at podcasts Plural Podcasts at Action
- 59:17Speaker 1: network dot com. Darren F six another five star review again,
- 59:21Speaker 1: keep them coming. We don't mind the criticism. We love it.
- 59:24Speaker 1: I do have a bone to pick with this one.
- 59:26Speaker 1: I've been listening to this podcast since Chad started it
- 59:28Speaker 1: with his old companion, Scooch. I want to say around
- 59:31Speaker 1: two Thou's probably close Simon, Chad's new companion, can be sharp,
- 59:35Speaker 1: but seems to live off his model, and it's constantly
- 59:38Speaker 1: off on his opinion of teams and weekly situations. Sometimes
- 59:41Speaker 1: I find myself talking back to the podcast as if
- 59:45Speaker 1: I had a mic to compare it takes on miss
- 59:48Speaker 1: scooch Roulette, which is when Scooch and I went head
- 59:50Speaker 1: to head. I also missed Chad having a stronger opinion
- 59:53Speaker 1: on the show. Chad seems to have gone full on
- 59:56Speaker 1: do what Simon says, oh and two right now, which
- 59:58Speaker 1: is wrong, and now lives his Sundays in the foxhole
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: instead of on the winning side. All in all, love
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: the show, and I'm sure Simon will bounce back because
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: this season goes on. I don't even know what to
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: say about that. I go against you all the time. Yeah,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: it seems like this guy doesn't listen to the show
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: clear enough. Last week I like the Ravens. Chad was
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: staunch and his take and take an alliance, so we
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: didn't put in the competition. But the Bills. I love
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: the Washington football team with it. This guy seems like
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: a hater. We went six percent last year and we
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: came twenty four in the whole contest. I'm trying, man,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: I'm trying to do better than last year. It's just hard.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: This ship is really hard. I will try to get
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: Chad back those old ways of the screen with me
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: more often. Hey, you know what I feel like. I
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: feel like you took that criticism harder than I did.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: I'm like Teflon man, No, I do not care. I
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: did in the media game a long time. I think
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: called terrible things. There's no more pain than looking at
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: your bank account after losing weekends. So no this, the
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: feelings are not hurt. Or you win thousands and thousands
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: of dollars every weekend, and you could have won more
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: if not for listening to me and making bad decisions
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: like not betting the Offalo bills. All right, keep those
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: five stuff reviews coming. We appreciate the criticism, Darren f
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Email podcasts at Action network dot com. We're gonna send
