Hobbies, Divas & Stupid Ties | NFL Week 5 Recap & MNF Preview · The Favorites Sports Betting Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the favorites live on YouTube presented by draft Kings.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The crown is yours. I'm your host, Brandon Kravitz joined
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: by the first lady, Kendra Middleton week five, almost a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: wrap this week was messy. It was disgusting, poorly coached.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We'll get to all of that receipts. Cash, crash, clutch.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: A word from the Oracle, Evan Abrams, who's been hard
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: at work for us, trying to discover some items of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: interest for Kendra and I. And we've got a Monday
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Night Football SGP to get to as well. What a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: sweat in London. Too much stress to start the day yesterday.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think I was talking to the guys before
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you hopped on. And I don't think that I have
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: ever been so pissed off early in the morning, especially
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: because I had to get up at.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: 530 to be at work at seven.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And so I was like halfway like through my work day.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: When all of this was going on. I'm watching this
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: at work.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: One of the co-workers at my co-workers at F1 is
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: watching me watch this game. And he goes, it's so
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: as I'm working in a sports venue, by the way,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: looks at me and verbatim says, it's so strange watching
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: women care about sports. After that whole opening sequence had
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: just gone down, I was like, I need to go home.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I can't. And then it just got worse from there.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: And I got more mad.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I really just don't understand so many things that happened
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: from this game. Can someone here, Evan Abrams, you, anyone
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: explain to me how that was not a safety? Or
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: why that was an ejection when he's just kicking a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: grown man off of him. Why we had no replays
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: for any of the penalties. There would be a penalty
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: flag thrown. They'd show the graphic and then they'd go
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to commercial. You just you can't operate that way. On
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: top of that, I'm going to get to the broadcast
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: later because it's going to receive one of.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Our rewards from me. But just what a dumpster fire.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I just ball. Don't lie. Ball. Do not lie.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles probably should have won that game,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: but we have seen Nick Sirianni screw the pooch multiple occasions.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: In fact, back-to-back weeks now, he has cost his team
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with some coaching blunders, so he will be in our crash,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I am sure of it. It was the first weekend.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Makes our bet look better. We talked about it last week.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I think him wasn't the right decision.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: No, it wasn't the right decision. Of course it wasn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the right decision. The Jags have no timeouts. So you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: give them the ball with an opportunity to, they essentially
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have one play that they can run because you can't,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: if they were to complete a 25 yard pass, they can't,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: they don't have time to clock it. So you have to,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you have to put yourself in a position where they're
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: running a play and the next play is in a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: field goal. And really the only way that happens is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: if you let them return the kick. Now it's onto
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the kick coverage team to make a tackle. which they
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: didn't do, but credit to the Jags when their guys,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: everybody I've seen the play now, a hundred times, the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Jags return team blocked to perfection. But yeah, that was,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that was very, very poorly managed by Nick Sirianni. No doubt.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was probably the wrong decision just
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: because you'd seen Josh Cameron return one earlier that was
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: recalled and you know what the Jags are capable of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: doing on special teams. And shout out Amir Abdullah. The
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: fact that there was once it was just like the craziest,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I think, random series. Yesterday was a weird day of football.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was a weird day of football. It really felt Halloween.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. I open saying it was messy
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and disgusting. That's how it felt all the way.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: But I loved it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Other than how I genuinely you guys know me like
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I get like frustrated with things. But in all seriousness,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it takes a lot for me to get angry. Like
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: if I am legitimately angry with you, like, you know
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that you messed up because I get frustrated, but I don't.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Get pissed off.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Pissed off standing on my couch yesterday, just my hands
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on my head, just screaming at my TV.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And I don't yell. I am not. I don't get loud.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not a screamer. I am not one of those people.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I just genuinely don't think in my 30 years of
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: being a Jaguars fan, I have ever been that mad
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: watching a team and I've had them get.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Back to back fucking. first overall draft picks in my lifetime.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Like I've never been that mad.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Well, it's amazing what expectations will do. You know, I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a dolphins fan. You're not going to see me get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: angry this year because the team stinks. You've gone through
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: many years of the Jacksonville Jaguars having no expectations whatsoever.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: This is the most you've expected from this team in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: your lifetime. This is the best this team has been
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: since the mid nineties. And that was before, uh, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: had any sort of, uh, idea of what you were watching.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know if you're alive yet trying
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to think of the math on 96. When were you,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: when were you born? 96, 96.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Um, I will say for me, uh, on a personal note,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: first weekend with fully healed loins and no one in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: my house was sick. So pretty chill weekend for all
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of us, but my Jackson gave me a bit of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a scare because Um, he was thrown up all over
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the house, had to take him to the vet late
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on Friday because I thought something was going on, got
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the x-rays. They said there's something in there. I wasn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: sure he's 14 years old and I've already paid a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: lot of money for surgery because this idiot already ate
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a seed in our backyard a year ago. And so
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I was really going through it. And then I was like,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to see if he passes, whatever. I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not going to get into the details, people. Don't worry.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But all is good. This is the bionic dog. I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but he's fine.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: It's It's Australian shepherds. They are made of steel.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Like seriously, truly like the things that this dog has
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: done and lived through.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I am just like, I don't understand.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But I think the other thing that you shouldn't feel
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: bad about, I don't know if you do.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I love this dog. He is my life. I would
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: literally take a bullet for him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But once they get to a certain age, like you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: honestly have to have a price tag on their head.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I really don't blame you. I like this dog is
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: literally my entire life. I am a single childless woman.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: My pets are everything to me, but if he were 14,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I would just be like, you know what?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Dipshit. Like it's kind of on you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm really glad that you said that. I'm not
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: going to, I'm not going to go into the conversation
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that I had with the vet because there's dog people
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: out there that are insane and I don't need them
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: coming for my neck, but you wouldn't have liked it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Let me just say that you would not have appreciated
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the conversation I had this weekend, but all is good.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: A quick checkup on the draft Kings contest three and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: two this week. Not bad. We definitely left some meat
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: on the bone. I was zero help to our efforts
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: this week. I mean, it is like we are trading
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the dunce cap back and forth every week.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I went to check on you last night and I
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: looked at your day and I was just disgusted for you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I felt for you. I really did.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that I'm here talking to you. I lost
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: as much money betting the NFL as I did at
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the vet office. It was a very similar bill. that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: came due.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So it was, uh, you know, are we going to get,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I think that we're probably going to get to this
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: at some point, but I think we need to have
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: our psychic back on.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So, um, should I read the, uh, should I read
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the message that I got on Tik TOK? This is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: someone that commented.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I think that she could fix us both right now.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I need you and Kendra to get Jim Jules back
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: on ASAP to follow up on that tarot card reading
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: from July. Herbert is looking exactly the way that she read,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: if not worse. I need it for my sanity. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: need to know if the cards foresee any change coming
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with the LA Chargers, please and thank you. So thank
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you for the comment.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, yeah, I think we need to
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: have her back on. Yeah, especially because like we had
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: like this idea of like a water team or whatever.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: What if she meant like instead of ocean, she meant
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: sea as in Seahawks.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Or something like that. Like the 49ers are by the oceans.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: We have the Seahawks. It's clearly not the Dolphins, but
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: they were the only water team we could think of.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I think she was cooking. We need to go back
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: and listen to that episode.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed the Super Bowl commercials
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that they've been showing on ESPN. show a wave crashing
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: into the logo. So maybe she was just seeing the logo.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe. I don't know. I think we need to have
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: her back. But anyways, back to our DraftKings contest. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you kind of.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I sucked. You guys did great. But this is sort of...
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: This is good. I mean, I had a terrible weekend betting.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of money. But as long as
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: we are delivering on the picks that we are giving
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: out on this podcast, all is right. And thanks to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Kendra and Emerson, we were able to deliver on that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Well, so let's go through these games really quick. The
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Bucs and the Cowboys. It truly just is Cowboys incompetence.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's no other way to.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Chalk this up.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I know that that probably is making our producer Gifford mad,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: but the Cowboys just continue to Cowboy. And there's really
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: no other way to put it unless you have any
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: other commentary on that. The Giants, speaking of like a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: weird weekend.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: A lot more to say on that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, on the Bucs.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. On the Giants.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: The Giants, like talking about a weird weekend.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I had this later in our notes, but I have
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: 10 other things that I can fill for the superlative
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I was going to fill it in with. Let's talk
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: about the NFC East, actually, for a second, since we're talking.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: About all of this.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The fact that all of the NFC East went 0-4
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: yesterday and two of these teams were playing each other.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: The Eagles got really lucky that the commanders messed up
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: so bad because it is taking all of the heat
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that would have been on Nick Sirianni and this team
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and putting it now on the commanders. And I have
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: to be honest, I watched Dan Quinn's press conference and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I watched Jaden Daniels press conference. And I'm really not
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: sure who to blame in this scenario for not knowing
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: how many timeouts they.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Had truly to me. It sounds like it was.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels and Dan Quinn was just kind of falling
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: on the sword for it. But Jaden seemed really frustrated
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: in his press conference as well. I'm not sure if
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: you watched this, but he was just like, oh, it
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: starts from the top.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I got to be better.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Blah, blah, blah.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Dan Quinn throwing his headset like that to me makes
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: it seem like this was on Jaden.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely was. And I was going to ask you that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: exact question today of who this was on more. The
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Giants right now sitting at three, one and one in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the NFC East. The Eagles are right behind them at
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: two and three. The Cowboys are two and three. It's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: only week five. So no matter how this was going
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to go, none of these teams were dead and none
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of these teams had secured the division. But this was
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a week where divide could have occurred and it didn't.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And or the commanders could have stayed in the mix
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than what they are right now.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And it seemed like everybody was just playing hot potato
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: with opportunities. So the way that I look at this
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: at the end of this game, The commanders get the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: ball back. There's a minute 52 on the clock. They
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: get to midfield with a minute remaining. Rashad white goes
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: up the gut. They're at about the 25 yard line.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: There's 50 seconds on the clock. At that point, it
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is on the quarterback to know what he needs to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: do to put his team in position to succeed. Yes.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn deserves blame. Yes. David Blau, the offensive coordinator
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: deserves some blame, but Jaden Daniels is taking his jolly
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: old time. He snaps the ball with 12 seconds on
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the clock and then runs into the middle of the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: giants defense. That's not Dan Quinn doing that. That's not
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the OC doing that. Clock runs out game over that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is on the quarterback to make that decision that is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: on the player. I mean, it looked to me like
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: his intention was to throw the ball, to get a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: little bit closer, throw towards the sidelines, throw it out
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of bounds, do anything except what you did. That's on
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels more than anybody else. But this is where
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I worry about that Nick Sirianni bet that we had
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: first coach to be fired because he was in the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: front of the line by the end of the London game.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And then at the end of the one o'clock games,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn just said up, excuse me. And then because
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he is going to be the one that ultimately takes
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the fall for this. But I blame Jaden Daniels.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see, I don't know about that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Just because Nick Sirianni's decision was his decision and his
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: decision alone, whereas with the commanders, there is some blame
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: for Jaden Daniels and the offensive coordinator. That's the only
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: reason that I still kind of stand where I do
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: about the sirianni bet but this division and its standings
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: right now the giants don't have their starting quarterback obviously
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like no duh they're sitting at three and one top
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of the division the eagles are two and three cowboys
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: also two and three this division still feels pretty wide
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: open like i don't expect the giants with jamis winston
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to be able to win this division but if i'm
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a cowboys fan and i'm looking at all the eagles
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: injuries right now i'm probably feeling pretty okay despite how
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: incompetent they are as a team at times Yes, I.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Think the Cowboys right now. In fact, let's see what
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the I don't know if you've taken a look at
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the division odds recently. Who do you think is the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: favorite to win this messy division right now?
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I would assume the Eagles.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It is the Eagles slightly plus 170. The Cowboys at
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: plus 180 and the Giants who are in pole position
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: right now at plus 320. That a bet anybody's trying
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to make right now.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: No, truly.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I just you know, the meme of like the two
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: girls and it's like they're having a mid off.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: That's how I feel about this entire division. Just absurd.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: All right. Anyway, well, here's the good thing is that
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: no matter how this weird game finished between the Giants
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and the commanders, we were going to cover this in
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the contest because we had the Giants plus three and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a half. So even if the commanders knew how to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: operate a clock and they made the field goal, it
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: still would have been a cover.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: The Lions helps my Giants helps my Giants future. I mean,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: they didn't lose.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: They didn't lose. That's all. I'll take it. They did
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: not lose.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I have them under seven and a half wins. That
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is getting precarious. Not because of the tie. That actually
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: helps me. But still, three wins already. Not good. Lions
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: cover in a blowout against Arizona. I was all ready
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to be on the other side. I didn't end up
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: betting the Cardinals. Thank God. they scored the opening touchdown.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And I had that thought we've all done this where
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I go, I've been wanting all week. I wanted to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: be on the Cardinals, but I was waiting for that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: six to show up. It never did. Thank goodness, because
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I would have bet them and I didn't. And I'm
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: watching them go down. They score with ease to open
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the game. And I'm thinking you fool don't second guess yourself.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And then it was all lions from there. Their defense
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: has been horrible this year. They've given up nearly 32
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: points per game. They allowed a touchdown on the opening drive,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and they turned the water off after that. So credit
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to you guys. Thank you for putting the Lions in
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the contest and giving us a win.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I've ever watched a game where
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: a team absolutely blew out an inferior opponent and did
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: not leave the game feeling any better about the team.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: And that's how I feel about the Lions.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I watched them just belt to ass the Arizona Cardinals yesterday.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: And after the game, I was like, hmm. I still
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: think that they might suck.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried about my future right now,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: especially after the Packers kind of got back on track
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: yesterday as well. But I just I don't that doesn't
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: happen for me often. But I think that the other
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: thing that we need to touch on here before we
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: move on to our last two games, Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Do we think that he's going to play for Houston
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: this week? And now he's being reunited with C.J.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Stroud. I mean, I think that it was an absolute overpay.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, do I think also that him reuniting with
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: his college quarterback and the familiarity and the chemistry that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: they have will probably really help Houston right now? Yes,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: but it feels like an overpay for something that is uncertain.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So I think that was the biggest part of the deal.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me. It was
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a second round pick. A year from now?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: No, I think the second round is 2027, and then
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they have a later pick the following year, if I'm
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: not mistaken.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that he fetched a second round pick with
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: how unproductive he's been. I'm surprised that he went.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was what, the fourth overall pick?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's done nothing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, absolutely nothing.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: But I also think Houston was Houston was the perfect
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: team to get him though. When I saw D'Amico Ryan's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: with the walk-off, Hey, by the way, we traded for
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, Jr. Baller move to do that. Drop that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: nugget at the end of the press conference.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Perfect team, by the way.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Fascinating game next week in London with the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Texans and the Jags. I'm guessing that Marvin Harrison, Jr.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Doesn't play, but I'm not sure.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: If he does, are we going to be on in
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: front anytime?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I got to see what the connection looks like. I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: not in a rush to bet on Marvin.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I kind of might be.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I hate to say I this feels like a trap
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: game for Jacksonville next week coming off of an emotional win.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I think I very much am worried about that game.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I very much if I was feeling more confident in
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the moment, I would already be on the Houston Texans
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: next week. I think the The Jags being parked over
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in London is now being over indexed into the spread.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I think this should be one and a half. It's
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: sitting at two and a half. You're getting two and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a half, even money on the Houston Texans. It feels
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: like really good value. I just took an ass kicking yesterday,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: so I need to be a little more patient. And
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the last thing I want to do, we were texting
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: about this with John Yastrzemski. There's no worse feeling than
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: starting the day. You're not even to the one o'clock
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: set and you already have an L on the ledger.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: That's just not a world I like living in.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I will say I fucking hate.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: The London games more than anything. If there is something
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: people know about me, I hate the international games, but
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: it is really nice when the Jags went in the
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: early window and then I can just exist the rest
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: of the day. I sewed a pair of pants yesterday
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: while watching football and a sweatshirt.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You sew?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's impressive. Is that a hobby or is that like
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a skill? Where would you file? What would you file?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: It's definitely not a skill. I'll tell you that. At
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: least for me, for other people, for sure. For me, no.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Somebody quick aside, somebody texted into the afternoon show I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: do in Orlando and they, they asked, um, what are
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: my hobbies outside of sports? And I was so stumped.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I had no answer. And I, so this weekend on
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Saturday during the college football games, I was researching what,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: what can a near middle-aged man do as a hobby?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: This is what, so I'm trying to figure out, I'm
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: trying to find something that Because for me, it's just
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: family time and sports and this. This is it. That's
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: my whole life. And I'm not complaining. It's a great life.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But I lack some depth. I think I need to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: add some depth to my life.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: They say whatever your hobbies were when you were, like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: 10 to 12 years old are what you should pick
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: up later in life because those are the things that
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: you enjoy, which is true because I love to, like,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: sew and stitch and, like, all that kind of stuff
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid. And now, like, I'm picking
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: it back up again. And it's been great.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. I might get into space. We'll see. Um, Seattle
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: falls short in the end, seven total turnovers in that game.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Both teams made big plays. The 49ers made more of them.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: JSN drops a pass that would have at least lined
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks up for game tying field goal all for
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not 49ers. When they advanced to five and Oh, that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: was one of my favorite plays of the weekend was
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Seattle minus the two and a half. And that went
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in the gutter Falcons Sunday night. I mean, come on.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: we got, to it. I mean, what else? How else
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: can I explain this? Tua came in. This was not
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: part of the equation for us.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really liked the Seattle thing.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: It wasn't something that I wound up getting to the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: window on.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: But how just.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: uncharacteristic for both teams with a number of turnovers. But
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: if you love defensive football, that was the game for you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: That was the game of the week. I really, I
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: had it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I had that game on solo and then everything else
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: on red zone. And it just, that was.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Talk about once again, a weird weekend of football. I,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: that was just not on my radar. And had it
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: been like a normal game, I probably think that it
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: would have been Seattle, but shout out to the 49ers,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: all of their injuries that continued to pile up yesterday.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Also, you know what? Shout out Mike Evans.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: That man is old as hell and his receding hairline
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: is crazy and he has two broken ribs and he's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: out there, you know, yelling it, having Trayvon Diggs turn
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: around because he doesn't know whose jersey it is. And
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: just what a beast performance from him yesterday.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. Just absolutely mushroom stamped that defense yesterday.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: It was awesome. I loved it. The Falcons.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I have a confession because once again, I know that
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: this is going on the Internet, but I consider it
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: to be a safe space.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I fell asleep at the start of the.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Fourth quarter on my couch, woke up drooling as overtime
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: started and got to watch that whole.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Thing play out.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: The second Kyle Hamilton secured that interception, I went click
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and rolled over and went to sleep on my couch.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I'm in a couch sleeping phase. I don't know what
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it is. I am trying to.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Sleep on my back more. And I think that my
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: couch forces me to sleep on my back. And that's
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: why I'm kind of back in the couch phase.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: But Chua, what a disaster. You, the second.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: He was coming into the game. I feel like if
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I was in the same room as Brandon Kravitz, you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: just had to go.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I did the exact same thing. I mean, to a T,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I slept on the couch last night as well. If
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to stay up late, I leave the bedroom
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: for my wife because I don't want to keep her up.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And with these late games, I mean, these games, especially
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the ones go to overtime, they're not ending until close
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to midnight on the East Coast. So burning the midnight oil,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: same exact move. I mean, it was pick, click. sleep
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: i think i was asleep within 45 seconds after that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: interception absolutely disgusting this is sort of the the bed
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: we made for ourselves trying to nab an easy win
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: with the falcons i was so desperate to add this
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to the mix thinking it would be a layup and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: of course nothing in this life.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Is and i just went belly up for it i
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: let you have it yeah yeah well that's the receipt
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that i kept.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: You got to prove it to me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I got to see evidence. I'll show you the receipts.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: You don't believe me?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I have the receipt for it right here! Mine is
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: for what you should be doing. The receipt that I have,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: because I've got them. You were the one who said
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: we need to start betting two touchdown games for these
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: stars in the NFL. And did you?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: No.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Parker Washington, Jameer Gibbs, Jaden Daniels, Christian Watson, Isaiah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I literally texted you that I was a coward. I
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: already admitted it in our group chat. I know it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: After Parker scored, I literally called myself a coward because
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I texted you guys saying that I should get on
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: his second.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: And I didn't. And Evan Abrams, we're going to speak
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: to him in a minute.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: But he confirmed that my lean, that we are having
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: a crazy two.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Touchdown season with is true.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So we might need to start thinking about getting in
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: on this. I don't know if it's already too late.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Do we think we've lost value on it? Probably because
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: we've already realized that it's happening.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Usually that's the way that it works, but you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: we try and stay ahead of the curve a little
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: bit and maybe we've got some meat left on the bone.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: By the time we get to Thanksgiving, this will definitely
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: be dead in the water. But I think we can
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: pick our spots. The tough thing is, is that this
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: is a wide ocean of star players and we've got
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to make sure that we are targeting them properly so
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: it's uh something to add to the thursday show it's.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Got to be a live bet i think.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Uh i don't really have anything else for you it's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: hard to deliver receipts when my bets hit like a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: blind man swinging a pinata this weekend um i have.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: A receipt on myself okay i like truly cannot bet
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: on or against the patriots for the rest of the
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: season It's done.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: It's over. I can't do it anymore. I've learned my lesson.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Literally, if I say that I want to put the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Patriots anywhere, I give you guys full permission to like
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: put me in handcuffs or waterboard me.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You are too close to the fire.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: It happens. I get it. I've been there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: What a day for Drake yesterday. Good for him.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Huge, huge bounce back for him. And the Patriots get
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the Jets who are covering spreads left and right. So
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: picking that game, the Patriots open as seven point favorites.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Very tough.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Which is crazy because Will Campbell went down yesterday and
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: so did Travion Henderson, and they're already dealing with all
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: the other slew of injuries.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I get that it's the Jets, but once again, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: would be on the Jets. So I'm not, this is not,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I can't, no.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: It's one of those weird things where the Patriots injuries,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: they've been better since they've been banged up. And that's,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: it's really hard to gauge that when you go, I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: should fade this team because they're injured, but they're actually 49ers.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Same thing.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: There you go. Middleton, what is your one big takeaway
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: this weekend?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Um, I have two, the referees are ruining the sport.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: It's making it unwatchable.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I think that I mentioned this last week and it
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: wasn't just the Jags game for me.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: It was across the board. I am already five weeks
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: into this.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Season, sick and tired of watching an explosive play or
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: a touchdown happen and looking for a flag immediately after
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: everything all the time, panicking about flags, just feeling like
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: there's going to be something on every single exciting play
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that happens and And it's truly ruining my enjoyment of.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: The consumption of football. It is insufferable.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I really actually am curious if there are more flags
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: being thrown through this point in the season than ever
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: before as well, because it truly feels that way. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: think after every single play, whether I'm watching a game
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: in its entirety or watching Red Zone, I'm just waiting
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: for a flag all the time.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: And then, oh, go ahead.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: No, I was going to say, I'm going to try
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and dig it back up because what you just said
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: about the flags, there have been people that have tracked this.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And as of last week, what you are saying is
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: absolutely true that we've seen more flags than usual. And
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I thought that maybe once that became public information that
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the league would take notice of it and have the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: refs dial it back. But I agree with you. It
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: felt like more of the same this weekend. I usually
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: don't go off of like the, Like the gut feeling
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that you have where you're like, it feels like there's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: more two touchdown games. It turns out there are. I
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: try not to do that because my gut with those
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: things is typically dead wrong. But it's true. It feels
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: like there's more and there are more. So continue on.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to see if I can dig back up
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the statistic that I found about flags.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And then the other thing that I have a big
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: takeaway about this weekend, not that my Gino Smith prop
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: probably would have hit. I think I would have been
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: a yard short regardless, but taking the quarterback, taking a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: knee and accounting as negative rushing yards blows.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: We've got to fix that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Like you should not be punished as a better because
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you're like the quarterback that you bet on rushing yards
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: wise is taking a knee or victory formation or whatever.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: That sucks. That sucks. That should not be a thing.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I hate it so much. I get that. It's like
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: technically a designed run or whatever. It blows. I hate it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Come on, DK. We're counting on you for this. At
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: least the NFL can, or the box scores can count
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: it however they want, but the, we need the sports
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: books to have our backs on this. I did find
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this stat. Warren sharp shared this on Twitter last week.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: If you watch the NFL and thought something doesn't feel right,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you're not alone. Number one, most flags in the league
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: over a decade through four weeks. So this again was
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: last week. This doesn't count week five. Refs are impacting
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the most critical moments of the game. Number one in
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: a red zone penalties that we've seen in a decade.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Number one in most penalties on third and fourth downs
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in the second half of games that we've seen in
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: NFL history, or at least as long as this has
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: been tracked in 17 games, touchdowns had been nullified by
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a penalty only five during this timeframe in 2025. So
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: if it feels worse, it is worse. And here we are.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Which I mean, that number has got to be even
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: higher after yesterday, because I can think of a few
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: touchdowns that were recalled yesterday due to penalties as well.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I'm still waiting to see the replay of the hold
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: that they called on Josh Cameron's kickoff return.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I'm still waiting to see it, by the way, if
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: somebody has it, please send it to me.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: We have much more to get to cash crash clutch.
• 28:38

• 28:41

  Speaker 1: a rough lesson right there.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that I can't tell that your face is
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: red either.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Not at all. Not even a little bit.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I need to get back to the beach. This is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: my pale face is showing too much of my emotion.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Who's your cash of the week? We're dead in the water.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: If it crashes, it crashes, right?
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Never stood a chance. No, it was cash.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: My cash of the week is going to be Mike Gesicki.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I once again wanted to talk about the two touchdown
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: thing here, but we already did. And I'm going to
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: say Drake May finally getting a rushing touchdown.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Those are my two caches of the week. I have
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: two units left. on Drake may for our rushing touchdown.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: We need four. We need four more.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I need him to get it together, please. But Mike
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: is sick.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: He is my cash of the week. What a King
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: revenge game for him. Your dolphins almost came back yesterday.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Kravitz.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Don't let it fool you, but they did out.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: They did out gain the Cincinnati bangles, which I did
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: not have on my bingo card. And that is not
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: something to gloss over completely. They have not done that yet.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: This year out gained an opponent. Malik Willis looked horrendous,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: horrendous to start the game. And in a comeback effort,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: at least started to put some things together and shout
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: out to Ali Gordon. You might be the real deal.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I'm an Ali Gordon truther.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: My cash is for Jordan love. Welcome to the 2026 season.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Love was dealing bomb after bomb. He had four completions
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: over 40 yards. Another one that went for 36. He
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: had that one sequence where he had three plays in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a row. Two got called back, went back to Christian
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Watson again for a touchdown. He was super impressive. And
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden the Packers who were left for dead,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: we're talking about potentially firing the coach three and two
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: tied with the bears and the lions. And they get
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Sunday night football next week. That offense
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: starting to click going up against the Dallas defense that
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't stop Jalen Daniels. Good luck. I have made one
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: bet for next week, Kendra, and it is on the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers money line on Sunday night football.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I think I think they might be right. I think
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: that they might be back.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: I do we know when Micah Parsons is expected to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: be back? Is it supposed to be late October or
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: early November?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: So this is the one that we were targeting. If
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: you remember the beginning of the season, this was the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: game that we all had circled because mid October was
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the timeframe. And then he was, it was also primetime
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: game against his former team, but I don't know how
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: he's doing. I just know that before the season, when
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: we had whatever information we did have, this was the
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: game we thought he would be back for it. Now
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that's not part of my cap on this, but boy,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: would it be nice to have Micah Parsons back in
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the fold?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's the big kind of difference
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: maker for me here is I don't I don't expect
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: him to play in this game.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be early November. But what
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: a difference maker he would be. I don't know.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can get there. It might
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: be a good spot for the Cowboys. I think that
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: they might be able to find a little bit of
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: get up after the way that the division went down.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Extra time to prepare and a bounce back opportunity. I
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: can understand the position on the Cowboys. We'll get to
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: that on Thursday. Who is your crash of the week?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Um, we already talked about Jane Daniels and Dan Quinn, um,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: and Nick Sirianni.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: So my other option, Oh wait, those are your options.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: My bad. Um, I was reading yours and not mine. Um,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: I got to go Vegas.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I just threw a bunch of names on there.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I got to go Vegas and Isaac Tesla. I went
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: into his kind of catches throughout the season as the
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: background as to why I got to the number on
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: him to target zero catches yesterday. One of them was
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: in the end zone and it was on Jared golf.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: He completely just overthrew him. Um, But considering the blowout
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and how much they spread out the scoring in the
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: offense yesterday, I was really disappointed to see him not
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: get the number of targets to be a hit for me.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: But Vegas, I think, is the true answer for me here.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: They just looked like a shell of themselves in a
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: game where I expected them to be better defensively. especially
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: because they looked really good in their opening game against
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the Patriots last year. I know that they fell off,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: you know, through the majority of the season after that,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: obviously having the number one overall pick. It was nice
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: to see Fernando Mendoza get into the game yesterday.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: But Vegas, I know that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: They there was no way that they were as good
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: of a team as their record said. But to watch
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: them just get absolutely manhandled by an injured team yesterday
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: was definitely a crash moment.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I kind of figured new England would win that game,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: but I didn't think it would look like that. And
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I live bet the Raiders plus 12 and a half
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: at halftime.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I saw that come through.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And I just, yeah, that went up in flames about
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: two minutes into the second half, just like everything else.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: The part of the problem with the Raiders, they still
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: have that Brock powers easy button that they can hit,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: but they're really having trouble finding the other thing. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: thought that thing was going to be Ashton Gentry this year.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: And I took a long shot on him for offensive
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: player of the year. well before the season started 0%
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: chance that bet hits his longest run yesterday was four
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: yards and he has failed to crack three yards per
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: carry in three of five games. He might not be good.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: We have to consider that Ashton Jenty could be a
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: bust of a first round pick. You don't need to
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: make the declaration on it yet, but it's starting to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: look bad.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's easier to tell with a position
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: like that than it is with quarterbacks. I think that
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: you really need to give quarterbacks like three-ish years to
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: develop before you make a decision on them. That's something
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I definitely learned with the Trevor Lawrence experience.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Running back should be able to hit the ground running,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: pun intended. It's not a complicated position.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: It feels like the transition to the NFL from playing
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: an easier schedule in college just didn't suit him well.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: And he's always injured. He's always injured. And that's the thing.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: The best ability is availability. And I'm not ready to
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: write him off yet. but the fat and shout out
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Dylan lobby. He was one of my like really good
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: friends in college, but him, you know, getting the number of,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: and I don't mean any disrespect in saying this, but
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: him getting the number of snaps that he did in
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: that offense yesterday, I think says a lot about where
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: they are with Ashton Gentry, considering he's like the third
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: or fourth running back on that depth chart. And he
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: was getting noticeable carries yesterday.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: And he's been great on special teams this year. So
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I understand why they wanted to give him more opportunities.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: My crash is, jayden daniels dan quinn go with them
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: nick sirianni justin herbert again i thought okay this is
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the week this is the week again we're gonna back
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the chargers like i did in you didn't learn from
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: me week three was it against the bills plus seven
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and a half they should have covered that game they're
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: up by seven late against the broncos justin herbert interception
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: late i mean bo nicks was terrible in this game
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos had no business winning this game, covering
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: this game, but that's how I feel about everyone that
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: plays against the chargers. The chargers do a lot of
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: things well, and then they just implode. I think we're
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: at the point of no return with Justin Herbert. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: don't know what else to do with this guy. He
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: looks lost.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I have two things to say about Justin Herbert.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: One, I'm going to say something nice in the fact
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: that I think the kid is tough as hell, tough
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: as nails. I mean, you saw him just getting absolutely
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: bullied yesterday and he kept getting up and he kept trying.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. I think I said this a
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I really understand that Harbaugh is in the conversation to
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: be first coach fired, but I am very much in
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: the camp that they will choose him over Justin Herbert
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: when push comes to shove. And I get that finding
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: a starting quarterback in this league is so difficult and
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: it's so hard and you don't want to go into
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: the draft and have to do that. And every single
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: time there is a draft class of quarterbacks like there's
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: about to be in 2027. it is never correct. It
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: is always an absolute bust of a draft. But that
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: being said, I really don't think that Harbaugh is as
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: much to blame here as Justin Herbert and Mike McDaniel.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I just think that they are going to be willing
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: to walk away from a quarterback who's had what five
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: or six years to prove themselves at this point than
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: a coach who's a bonafide winner. I really just wonder
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: if they are going to get to a point where yes,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: He is just, you know, above average right now and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: has not been a winner, has zero clutch.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Gene cannot win in the postseason. I almost wonder if.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Teams start calling as more injuries pile up, what they
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: would be willing to take to part ways with him.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I don't see it happening in the middle of the season,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: but I do think this is a conversation for the offseason.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to have to have a serious
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: conversation about what they want to do moving forward. And
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: maybe Justin Herbert needs a fresh slate somewhere else to be.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: The Mike, it's not working this, this new combo, not
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: working at all. I also think that a big crash overall,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: maybe there needs to be some sort of off season
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: seminar for coaches in the NFL on how to operate
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of games, Nick Sirianni, Brian Schottenheimer, There's
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: something about the international flair that makes these coaches go insane.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn this weekend. These are simple things. We should
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: not be calling out what the correct thing is to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: do from our couch. How do these guys not know
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: how to handle these late game situations? Schottenheimer against the,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: against the Ravens a week ago, kicking the ball, to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: out of the end zone and allowing Lamar Jackson to
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: run a play when they had a timeout. That's when
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you don't do that reverse situation this week with Nick Sirianni,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: no timeouts for the Jags. So you want them to
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: run a play because they're not going to be able
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: to clock it. If they end up with a reception,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: this is just such obvious stuff. And then forget about
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and Jaden Daniels. I mean, that was, we're
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: never going to see that again in our lifetimes. That
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: was so stupid, but maybe there needs to be some
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: sort of a seminar for these coaches on how to
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: operate the end of game situations.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I wholeheartedly believe that every single head coach in the
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: NFL is going to take what happened in the Commanders
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: game yesterday and show it in their weekly meetings and say,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: this better not fucking happen to us because this is embarrassing.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: And I will put you on the bench if anything
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: remotely this stupid happens and you are involved.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Let's get to our clutch of the week. I've got
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: a few cam little, I'll let you expound on him.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: If you'd like to, he was nails at the end
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: of that game. Brock Purdy was awesome. David Bailey with
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the jets recorded three of the team's eight sacks against
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the Browns becoming only the second rookie in jets history
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: to have three in one game. Shout out to Hugh Douglas,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the other in 1995. I thought Purdy was, was great
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: at the end of this game. He finished with 19
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: of 29, 189 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Mike
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Evans was such a clutch signing for them, came up
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: big and dealt with the rib injury throughout the game.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's a 49er dealing with an injury in
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: the middle of the game, but those are my clutch.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I had too many to choose. A lot of impressive performances,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: especially at the end of these games.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go on audible here. I had Amir
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Abdullah in my notes. I had Cam Little in my notes.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I had Kyle Hamilton in my notes. I think that
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I would give Kyle Hamilton my flowers if it wasn't
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Tua that he picked off, but I'm going to go
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: with Devon Hamilton, the nose tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: the backup long snapper who came into the game yesterday.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: And yes, Logan Cook did have to correct a few
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: of his high.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Snaps, but a big man being able to see through
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: his legs like that and help clutch a win for
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Like I know that I'm a Jags fan, but But Kravitz,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: you are not a 320 pound man.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Do you think that you could bend over and see
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: through your legs right now?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. I definitely could not.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Impressive stuff from a nose tackle. I have to say
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: that is going to be my clutch. Just willing to work,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: willing to show up and willing to help get a.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Win for his guys.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: No matter what the call is, I'm going to go
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: with Devon Hamilton yesterday.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: That was Devon Hamilton, the emergency long snapper. How do
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: you not have someone else on the offensive line that
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: is doing that job for you? I don't get how you,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you go from long from a potential center, perhaps that
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: would be more used to that than a defensive tackle.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. Production is putting their foot down. Yeah,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: they want one. They want one nominee. I get it.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I respect it.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: It was a crazy week. We have to talk about
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: all this stuff somehow.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: We're trying to put it into the pot here. I
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: guess if I had one, it would be Brock Purdy
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and what he did, even though he cost us the win.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I got to give credit where credit is due. Aided
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: by Sam Darnold for the second week in a row.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Darnold was picked on the opening possession. He has three
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: or I'm sorry. He has five picks in the last
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: three games. Yeah, it does make me wonder. What we
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: would be getting out of Drew Locke. But I guess
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: this is a lifetime of disappointment with Sam Darnold outside
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: of what he did last year.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not locked on Locke.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Your Diva of the Week. He's just a diva. No,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: An impossible diva.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: What would make you say something like that?
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: It's pretty obvious. Diva alert!
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: My Diva of the Week is Jason Kelsey because why
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: the hell was he allowed to call an Eagles game?
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, listening to that.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: call yesterday was insufferable and every once in a while
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: he would catch himself like glazing the eagles and he'd
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: have to be like oh well i really appreciated the
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: drags did this i thought this was awesome because he
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: would catch himself like jerking off in the middle of
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: this freaking game i'm sorry i know that i probably
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: shouldn't say that we're trying to keep a pg-13 around
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: here i hated this Unless you're going to let Tony
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Buscelli in the booth next to him or Maurice Jones-Drew
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: or whatever, this shouldn't have been allowed in the first place.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: But with the refs and Jason Kelsey both just absolutely
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: screwing the Jags yesterday, I was in fits.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: I was already pissed off. I was already mad.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: And just every single time he said something about how
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: great something about the Eagles were or he was cheering
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: for them or whatever. The only thing that I'll give
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: him credit on was he did say that that should
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: have been a safety. And I'm sorry, but anybody who's
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: been watching football for more than like a year knows that.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: So like you did your job there. I'll give it
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: to you. But I was just shocked. Diva of the week,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey. Oh my God. With his stupid spiked hair.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: I really like his wife, Kylie Kelsey. I think that
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: she's a real one, but like he shouldn't be allowed
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: to do an Eagles broadcast. I'm sorry. Like that was insufferable.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I have another three, but I'm going to, I'm going to,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to heal it back. Mine is Sean Payton
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of the Broncos taking back play calling from Davis web,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: kind of a diva move to do that. We're in
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: week five. And he gave into the fan pressure, the
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: media pressure. This is a guy that you hand picked.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: He said this week that Davis Webb is going to
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: be a head coach. So he's going to be a
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: head coach one day, but he's not good enough to
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: call plays for the team in week five. And I
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: know the Broncos won the game, but it masked how
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: bad their offense was. Cortland Sutton, Jalen Waddle had one
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: target each in the first three quarters of this game.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: They combined for four catches in the game. And that's
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: what you're cooking up. The Broncos were one for 12
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: on third down. Bo Nix fumbled twice. They had as
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: many first downs from penalties as they had passing. So
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: can somebody explain to me what they got out of
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton that they weren't getting out of the last guy?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Diva of the week was taking play calling away from
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: your OC.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just going to say it didn't look
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: any better.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: It was the exact same success rate, worst of the year,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: 27.6 in terms of their past game success rate. So
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Jason Kelsey, Divas. Let's bring in the Oracle,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Evan Abrams. Evan, what'd you learn this weekend? I don't know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: I have so much to say. I could comment on
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: this podcast.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I will say one thing.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix, I feel like is the story versus Sean Payton.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: but that's for another day.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: And yeah, but that is the, that is the story though.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: That's sort of my point. Evan is that Davis web got,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: he got yanked to the plate calling duties because Bo
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Nix isn't performing right now. This isn't a Davis web problem.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: This isn't a Sean Payton solution. This is a bone
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Nix issue right now that this offense is dealing with.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: So I do think he's the story.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: Peyton's not the solution. I'm not sure it's a Davis
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: way problem yet or will be. I think that's to
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: be decided. I think it's a bone next issue, at
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: least for now. And says something about the charge with
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: the loss yesterday. And also for Kendra, Logan Cook saves
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: the day. He's the man. He's the MVP. All goes awry. Yeah,
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: but like he doesn't do his job.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I run a Logan Cook fan page. I can't say that.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: That's fair. All right. I want to know why you
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: were going to fight Kendra on the quarterback rushing stat.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's the same thing as like, and listen, I've
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: been saved by sports books doing this as well. But like,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: it's like when a sports book like gives you like
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: a refund for like an injury. It's like, it's a
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: part of the game. Like we're not going to remove that.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a rushing.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: He's literally going back a yard. It's like part of
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: the handicap. It's part of the fun. It's like when
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: you're handicapping rushing yards, everyone says to themselves, oh, well,
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: if they win, we've got to take into effect, you
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: might lose a yard or two. It's like part of
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: the fun of it. I think it changes the bet
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: if you remove it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: It's only fun if you win.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: That's completely not true. Then you haven't gambled long enough.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: All right, on to stats. Kendra, you asked me this
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: question last week about two touchdowns. You've been mentioning it.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: I looked it up. 67 so far entering Monday Night
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: Football tied for the most we've seen in a season.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: So that's fun through five weeks. 20 more than last year.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: So you're definitely seeing more two touchdown games. I also
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: just counted quickly 13 touchdowns. I counted two touchdown games,
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: it looks like. So fun nonetheless. I have so much
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: stuff this week that you're going to have to just
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: go to the primer and I don't want to waste
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: everybody's time. But I did see you.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: You're never a waste of time, Evan. We always love
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: your time.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I did see you wanted to talk about the NFC East.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: So I did just throw up something together there. So like,
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: obviously yesterday was a cluster F. It was just absolutely ridiculous.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Nothing to talk about there. We all tweeted about it.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: But it is interesting from like a betting perspective. Favorites?
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: In the NFC East, whether they're against each other, other divisions, whatever.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: 2-6 against the spread this year. 13-18 ATS last year.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: So 15-24 if you were a favorite coming out of
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: the NFC East. You were also only 20-18-1 straight up
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: in those games. Second worst of any division. The worst
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: is the NFC South at 13-18 straight up as favorites.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: Which almost feels impossible, but is awesome. I'll give you
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: something on totals. So this is as true as could be.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Totals 39 and 39 entering Monday Night Football tonight. So
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: an even this year. But if you look closer, totals
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: of 47 or higher, 17 and 7 to the over.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Totals under 47, 32 and 22 to the under. So
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: it really does seem like the market's kind of getting
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: it right at the moment. Higher totals going over, lower
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: totals going under. I thought that was kind of fun.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: And then this one really says something about the NFL
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: in general. Teams leading by more than one possession, nine
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: plus points at any point in the game, are covering
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: just 74.6% of games through five weeks. That is the
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: second lowest win percentage since division realignment in 2002. So
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: you're leading by a lot. You're still not covering. It
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: feels like the NFL we're watching in front of us,
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: and it's exactly what's happening. sitting there. It's the lowest
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: since 2011. So it just feels like a completely different NFL,
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: and I feel like we're getting the exact same thing
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: we're seeing. And I'll give you one on the Chargers.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: Chargers 0-5, pretty much a story right now, entering the
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: season as a win total of 9.5. The last team
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: to start 0-5 with a win total this high 2004
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins behind Dave Wanstat. It has been a long
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: time and the expectations feels like it's marrying what we're seeing.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Any idea what they did in week six?
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: No, but I remember seeing them twice in my database
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: in week six and seven, which tells me they lost.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: This was in 2004, you said?
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: I'm almost positive they lost because they showed up twice
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: in the database, so. While you're looking that up, I
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: love this one because people were talking about Lions and
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: Cowboys being easy overs every week. If you would just
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: bet Cowboys and Lions over since the start of last year,
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: you'd be 31-12. That is crazy.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Also, the Chargers do have the Chiefs this week off
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: of a bye.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I can't. I think the Chargers have officially hit bet
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: prison for me.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, terrible off a buy. We all know that. Yeah, right.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Of course. The joke. The Dolphins were 0 and 5.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: You're right. After the first five weeks that season in 2005,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: they played the Bills in week six and they lost
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: 20 to 13. I don't know what the spread was.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: They didn't win a game until week seven against the St.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Louis Rams.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Can I can I just run you guys through the
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: rest of the Chargers schedule really quick?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: It's not pretty. Hold on.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: Before you do that, though, remember what we talked about
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: in the preseason. 24 games or 24 negative rest as well.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Like this team had so many terrible schedule things even
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: coming into the year. So continue, Kendra.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: They're going to play the Chiefs this week.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: And then the Rams, Texans, Ravens, Jets, Patriots, Bucks, Raiders, 49ers, Dolphins, Chiefs, Broncos.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Woof. Yeah. I mean, outside of the Dolphins, none of
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: those sound winnable. right now. Evan Abrams. Thank you so much.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Be on the lookout for the primer and more goodies
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: to come from Evan Abrams. Thank you, my friend.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Love you.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Time for our Monday night football. Same game parlay brought
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: to you by draft Kings. What are you cooking up Kendra?
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of things that I was looking at.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: And because I think that we both need, well, I
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: had an okay day yesterday, but we're both in the
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: need of a win.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give you two options on the same player,
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: just different angles.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: And I think we can have a group thing. If
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Evan would like to chime in as well, we can
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: do that. But Kyron Williams, over 23 receiving yards for
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: him is minus 115, but I could also be talked
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: into over four receptions plus 147 if we like that better.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Just because the money is a little bit better, I
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: think that if he's going to hit the yards, he'll
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: probably hit the receptions. I did have his averages pulled up,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: but I accidentally exited out of it. I kind of
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: would prefer the receiving yards, I think, but I could
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: be talked into the total receptions.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: He is averaging 43.2 receiving yards per game. I know
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: that from looking at this earlier, he has passed this
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: in three of the four so far. So you are
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: getting Kyron Williams as part of the passing attack. One
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: of the reasons that I'm going to talk about the
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Rams in a second, I like them as I like
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: their ability to throw the ball against this Bill's secondary.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Bingo.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Only concern I have is how much they're going to
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: need Kyron Williams in this game. And I don't think
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: it's much, but he has performed well. And I am
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: targeting the Rams passing attack is one of the reasons
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I like LA tonight. I think I would go with
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the yards because he only needs, he only needs one
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: big play for us to, to, to crack that 23
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: and a half. I'm going to add to, so are
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: you good with that? The Kyron Williams?
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: That's what, that's where I was leaning, but because the
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: value is better and it's a parlay, I was willing
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: to take the other side, but I agree.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: I think that the receiving yards is the way to
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: All right. Minus one 12 over 23 and a half
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: on Kyron Williams receiving yards. I like the Rams to
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: win this game. The bills defense has been letting everybody
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: get loose. Nick Giffen has, this is a luck game
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: as well. Tilting the way of the LA Rams. The
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: bills is the luckier of the two. I think it's
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: a great time to buy the super bowl favorites at
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: home in prime time, catching what I believe will be
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: a lower percentage of the overall bets as well. In fact,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: let me pull that up just so I'm not, I
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: looked at this the other day. Yep. 79% of the
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: bets on the Buffalo bills. The public has been getting
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: crushed in these prime time games being on a non-public
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Ram side. You're not going to have a lot of
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: opportunities to do that this year. Bill's defense, worst unit
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: on the field. I like the Rams. I'll take them
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: on the money line since we are parlaying this Rams
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: money line. Kyron Williams over 23 and a half receiving yards.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Do you like it?
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: I do like it.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I was also looking at some like interception props just
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: because Matt Stafford's given the ball away like nobody else.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: And Josh Allen also is up there leading the league
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: in interceptions. But I just feel like with both of them,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: I think Stafford threw two last week and Josh threw
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: one last week. I wasn't willing to double dip. Had
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: one of them kind of missed out on throwing one
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: last week, I would have been more likely. But yeah,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: I think that we might be getting back on track here,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: I like it. The books are basically saying a higher
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: probability of a Josh Allen touchdown tonight at minus one 31,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Matt Stafford at minus one 21. And I think it
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: makes sense based on what we were talking about. Yes.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Stafford is the more turnover prone of the two, but
• 55:22
