- 1:35Speaker 1: about ten bets that I've put into the Action Network app,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and on every single one of them, I've gotten some
- 1:41Speaker 1: closing line value. Doesn't mean that they're going to win,
- 1:44Speaker 1: but it does mean when I look at it, I
- 1:46Speaker 1: feel good about the decisions I've made. And honestly, it
- 1:49Speaker 1: feels like this is the first week since the season
- 1:52Speaker 1: started where I don't have just chaos swirling in my
- 1:57Speaker 1: head as I'm thinking about our and our potential lineup.
- 2:02Speaker 1: How about you, I'm.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Right there with you. I like to lie to myself
- 2:05Speaker 2: about having good closing line value as well, but at
- 2:08Speaker 2: the end of the day, what did our guys scoot?
- 2:10Speaker 2: You always say the right size the winning side, so
- 2:13Speaker 2: it don't matter if you've got the best number for
- 2:14Speaker 2: in a winner. So yeah, I'm with you. It feels
- 2:17Speaker 2: good getting some good numbers here, But yeah, like this
- 2:22Speaker 2: this week might be a slaughter for the public. Chat
- 2:25Speaker 2: like the way these betting trends are looking, the way
- 2:27Speaker 2: the numbers are moving. People love their road favorites this week,

- 2:39Speaker 2: to dive into this week again.
- 2:40Speaker 1: There are some really interesting games and closing line value.

- 3:51Speaker 1: of today, it's exciting. Week four kickoff is approaching opportunities
- 3:56Speaker 1: all over the board. As we said, let's not Diley Dally,
- 3:59Speaker 1: It's time four sharp calls Hello, who's there?
- 4:06Speaker 2: I'm talking ring telepone rate somebody saying maybe want to
- 4:12Speaker 2: do the man, And I'll just say, I do love
- 4:16Speaker 2: closing line value. I mean, Chad love it. We live
- 4:19Speaker 2: by it. But it's I try it to, you know.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I try to be real with the people here, Like
- 4:23Speaker 2: I can't get that much money down Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
- 4:26Speaker 2: The books just don't take that much money. So, you know,
- 4:31Speaker 2: a lot of the lot of the way this works
- 4:32Speaker 2: is certain sports books. I'm friendly with the people that
- 4:36Speaker 2: run it there, and my runners are too. And we
- 4:38Speaker 2: know some people and if say, like a good example.
- 4:41Speaker 2: This week, everyone in their grandmam is coming on Denver.
- 4:44Speaker 2: They're going to reach out to people like me to
- 4:46Speaker 2: get some money. On the other side, that's just the
- 4:48Speaker 2: way it is. And we will negotiate and argue about numbers.
- 4:50Speaker 2: If they have a three, I'll be like, I want
- 4:52Speaker 2: to three and a half. Don't call them lets you
- 4:54Speaker 2: have a three and a half. So that's what I'm
- 4:55Speaker 2: trying to get down is like closeline value. Yeah, I
- 4:58Speaker 2: love it early in the week, but most times, if
- 5:01Speaker 2: you want to get anything above ten k, they don't
- 5:03Speaker 2: really open the books until Wednesday, Thursday, Friday to take
- 5:06Speaker 2: those kind of bets. So yeah, that's this week the pros.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I mean, there's so much argument. The biggest argument is
- 5:14Speaker 2: going to be this Jets Chiefs game, right Chad, And
- 5:16Speaker 2: I think every pro in the world is like, give
- 5:19Speaker 2: me the ten. I dare you to give me the ten.
- 5:22Speaker 2: And we saw the ten touched at a couple of
- 5:24Speaker 2: books and it's gone, and you know, that's a game
- 5:27Speaker 2: we're going to discuss further on. But it's like, if
- 5:30Speaker 2: you listen to this show, if you want to bet
- 5:32Speaker 2: like the pros, you want to take the lines that's
- 5:34Speaker 2: a good number of a team that's undervalued against a
- 5:36Speaker 2: team that's hot, heavily overvalued. In a primetime game, you're
- 5:40Speaker 2: going to be taking the Jets with us, So no
- 5:42Speaker 2: shock in anyone. That was a big discussion. The more
- 5:44Speaker 2: shocking game to me was me and you both loved
- 5:47Speaker 2: Houston this week. I've talked to a bunch of approach
- 5:51Speaker 2: who really like Pittsburgh in the spot and Pittsburgh's you
- 5:54Speaker 2: know whatever, the reasoning is. The biggest one is they
- 5:56Speaker 2: have TJ going up against two backups at left and
- 6:00Speaker 2: right tackle, and that's a fair argument. Maybe me and
- 6:03Speaker 2: Chad won't end up on that because we won't get
- 6:04Speaker 2: to three and a half, but at three, I felt
- 6:07Speaker 2: like we got a good bet and like you said,
- 6:08Speaker 2: closing line value, that's probably not gonna go above three.
- 6:11Speaker 2: If anything, I could see it going two and a
- 6:12Speaker 2: half two. So that was a big one. In the
- 6:15Speaker 2: next game. I think everyone was in linement on even
- 6:18Speaker 2: when we did this show, it's that Tennessee. Never Chad, like,
- 6:22Speaker 2: we saw a lot of books dip down to two
- 6:24Speaker 2: one and a half. Now you've seen some money come
- 6:26Speaker 2: on the other side and went back to two, went
- 6:28Speaker 2: back up to two and a half, but definitely know
- 6:31Speaker 2: some really smart guys coming in on this Tennessee team.
- 6:34Speaker 2: They just like the spot against a Joe Burrow that
- 6:36Speaker 2: doesn't look the same, so perfect spot to Joe Burrow.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Get right. We talk all the time that's one of
- 6:41Speaker 2: the worst secondaries in football Tennessee. But the pros like Tennessee,
- 6:45Speaker 2: so we definitely feel good. And we got that number
- 6:48Speaker 2: two and a half saw a drop down, so not
- 6:51Speaker 2: too shocking. That's gonna be one of the more publicly
- 6:53Speaker 2: bet games as well. This week. One I'm shocked by,
- 6:57Speaker 2: Chad was the Bills. I thought it was gonna be
- 6:59Speaker 2: like most people like us loving this Bills team. A
- 7:03Speaker 2: lot of guys are scared of this Miami team. Chad,
- 7:05Speaker 2: and the guys who haven't been playing Miami have just
- 7:08Speaker 2: been on the sideline, Like I know, plenty of guys
- 7:10Speaker 2: that didn't go in on Denver. You know, they kept saying,
- 7:13Speaker 2: I don't know how good is this Denver defense. I
- 7:14Speaker 2: don't if they'll be able to get any stops, And
- 7:16Speaker 2: they were right. They gave up seventy points. But yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 2: we did a film session yesterday and it just I
- 7:23Speaker 2: have so much confidence right now in Josh Allen that
- 7:26Speaker 2: if you can still get two and a half, I
- 7:28Speaker 2: just don't know how you don't take this number. And
- 7:30Speaker 2: I get all the love and all the hype, and
- 7:32Speaker 2: I saw Stucky posted that hilarious joke on Twitter teams
- 7:35Speaker 2: that scored seventy points or zero to one ats the
- 7:38Speaker 2: following week, So yeah, it's stupid, but I'm trying to
- 7:44Speaker 2: be like, there's a Pros and get scared by this
- 7:45Speaker 2: Miami team. It's like, we got to stick to the numbers,
- 7:47Speaker 2: what we believe in, Chad, and that's a game we're
- 7:49Speaker 2: going to break down that. I don't know how we
- 7:51Speaker 2: won't have this in our contest at minus two and
- 7:53Speaker 2: a half. It's just such a nice number and a
- 7:54Speaker 2: good spot. So yeah, pretty not shocking that the Pros
- 8:00Speaker 2: love all the home dogs, but I was shocked by
- 8:03Speaker 2: the love for Pittsburgh, and I just I'm not seeing
- 8:07Speaker 2: with Pittsburgh chat. I just can't get behind it. So
- 8:09Speaker 2: maybe we won't take Houston and our contest out of
- 8:11Speaker 2: respect for these guys, But it definitely was shocking to
- 8:14Speaker 2: me these guys like Pittsburgh so much.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot to say about a lot of what
- 8:19Speaker 1: you just said. The Houston game is fascinating. You mentioned Stucky,
- 8:24Speaker 1: Stucky and Raybon on the Sunday six pack, which you
- 8:27Speaker 1: can catch on YouTube Wednesday nights and in the Action
- 8:31Speaker 1: Network Pod on Thursdays. They talked about this game a
- 8:34Speaker 1: lot and Raybond loved Houston. So that makes me feel
- 8:39Speaker 1: a little bit better. I'm glad to hear that we're
- 8:42Speaker 1: on the right side with Tennessee. Mimmy Buffalo look yesterday
- 8:46Speaker 1: on the film Session, which everyone needs to go watch
- 8:48Speaker 1: if you didn't, it's on YouTube. Me and Simon broke
- 8:51Speaker 1: down a play by Devon h Chan from the Dolphins
- 8:55Speaker 1: reverse where he ran through the Broncos defense and a
- 8:59Speaker 1: play by Josh Allen where he rolled out right and
- 9:02Speaker 1: hit Stefan Diggs like on a rope in the middle
- 9:05Speaker 1: of the field on a play that had completely broken down.
- 9:09Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons we like the Bills
- 9:12Speaker 1: at minus two and a half. It's why we bet
- 9:15Speaker 1: Josh Allen at ten to one as MVP, because if
- 9:18Speaker 1: they win this game, those odds are gonna be cut
- 9:21Speaker 1: in half. You know. I think there's a lot of
- 9:24Speaker 1: good stuff to talk about. It's a great week for betting.
- 9:26Speaker 1: As a reminder, you can catch every episode of The

- 9:42Speaker 1: down O games. We got to get to our Foxhoul.
- 9:44Speaker 1: We got to get to Survivor. We got to get
- 9:46Speaker 1: to the big balls bet of the week. Man, can
- 9:52Speaker 1: we talk about that Denver Bears game? Because right now
- 9:55Speaker 1: that game is at three. We liked the Bears at
- 9:59Speaker 1: three and a half. That game is at three at
- 10:01Speaker 1: bet three six five. But I'll also tell you right
- 10:04Speaker 1: now at the contest, which we're trying to be more
- 10:07Speaker 1: cognizant because these lines in the contest have been messing
- 10:10Speaker 1: with our head, that game is at three and a half.
- 10:12Speaker 1: In the contest, it's a three at bet three six five.
- 10:17Speaker 1: So we're talking about two different things here. I don't
- 10:19Speaker 1: want to confuse them. I don't like the Bears at
- 10:23Speaker 1: plus three. I do like them at three and a half.
- 10:26Speaker 1: You can't get them at three and a half in
- 10:28Speaker 1: a lot of places. Simon thoughts on the Bears at
- 10:31Speaker 1: plus three sought that the thoughts on the Bears at
- 10:34Speaker 1: plus three and a half in the contest.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't hate it. I'm trying hard not to
- 10:40Speaker 2: hate it. Chad. My fear is I just go back
- 10:43Speaker 2: and watch it tape, and like, your coaching staff is
- 10:45Speaker 2: just terrible. Like I don't know, I have no idea
- 10:48Speaker 2: what offense they're running. And it is week four, so
- 10:53Speaker 2: it's all bad. But I think we're both just going
- 10:56Speaker 2: to trust the number, trust the spot and faded. Every
- 11:00Speaker 2: team that offensively v is good, like they're gonna be
- 11:03Speaker 2: able to score against this Bears team. Chat. That's the
- 11:05Speaker 2: weary here. But their defense is so bad and they're
- 11:08Speaker 2: so bad against the run. I mean, how did like,
- 11:12Speaker 2: you guys have three really talented running backs including your quarterbacks,
- 11:15Speaker 2: so you know, I don't see how the Bears can't
- 11:19Speaker 2: stay in this game. It's just the fear here is
- 11:21Speaker 2: your guys are so mismatched at I mean, I'm not
- 11:25Speaker 2: here to shoot on fields, but Russell Wilson worse seasons
- 11:29Speaker 2: better than any season Field has ever had. And this
- 11:32Speaker 2: season you can't put the blame on Russell Wilson for
- 11:34Speaker 2: Denver struggle. He has played well in this new cheampagne system.
- 11:39Speaker 2: So these are all the fears about why I'm trying
- 11:44Speaker 2: to get there with the Bears. But I'm telling each
- 11:47Speaker 2: od I talked to a lot of pros. They want
- 11:49Speaker 2: nothing to do with this team. They got no faith,
- 11:51Speaker 2: They've seen nothing from them. Even though it's an amazing
- 11:54Speaker 2: number and a great spot to take them, they just
- 11:57Speaker 2: they're like, that's just a black hole you're gonna keep
- 12:00Speaker 2: We're gonna keep throwing money in there and it might
- 12:02Speaker 2: work out this week, but consistently, like this is a
- 12:05Speaker 2: team that I can't wait to bet in week twelve thirteen,
- 12:08Speaker 2: when everyone's officially off the tracks. But that's why it
- 12:11Speaker 2: feels like we have to take it this week where
- 12:13Speaker 2: it's like no one wants it, Like I don't even
- 12:16Speaker 2: know what when I checked it like our action app
- 12:18Speaker 2: and see there's money coming in on the Bears. I
- 12:20Speaker 2: would love to talk to these people because I've thrown
- 12:22Speaker 2: money on it, but it's like, you know, a couple
- 12:25Speaker 2: thousand bucks, Like I can't really go big on this one,
- 12:27Speaker 2: even though it's such a great number. So if it's
- 12:32Speaker 2: three and a half, it's it's way higher likely that
- 12:35Speaker 2: we have this in the contest. Then again, we talked
- 12:38Speaker 2: about earlier, which was another three and a half game,
- 12:40Speaker 2: was I was like, Okay, maybe I'd be on the Panthers.
- 12:43Speaker 2: That's gone. Bryce Sean is gonna be back. I'm totally
- 12:45Speaker 2: out on them. If it's Bryceheaan a quarterback against the Vikings.
- 12:48Speaker 2: So yeah, if we're talking about one of these ugly
- 12:50Speaker 2: home dogs, the Bears are right up there. So I'm
- 12:53Speaker 2: right there with you chat three and a half, we
- 12:55Speaker 2: probably have to have to put it in the contest.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Let me give you some stats, because I think the
- 13:01Speaker 1: Broncos have some issues that are not fixable from one
- 13:04Speaker 1: week to another. On defense, they've allowed twelve penalties that
- 13:11Speaker 1: have led to first downs. That's first overall in the NFL,
- 13:14Speaker 1: which means they're just incredibly undisciplined. And like, you don't
- 13:17Speaker 1: fix discipline from one week to the other over the
- 13:22Speaker 1: course of you know, three practices, right that needs to
- 13:26Speaker 1: be ingrained from training camp on. That's the kind of
- 13:29Speaker 1: thing you start to fix later in the year if
- 13:31Speaker 1: you're lucky enough to fix it. Eleven red zone touchdowns
- 13:35Speaker 1: most in the NFL allowed by the Broncos. But here's
- 13:38Speaker 1: one thing That's really interesting to me. Evan Abrams told
- 13:43Speaker 1: me this the other day. Remember last year, the Bears
- 13:45Speaker 1: got better when they allowed Justin Fields to run an RPO, right,
- 13:50Speaker 1: and that's when all of a sudden their offense started
- 13:51Speaker 1: to open up a little bit. Justin Fields has two
- 13:56Speaker 1: RPOs this year, Mac Jones has three. Like if ever,
- 14:01Speaker 1: there was going to be a week where I believe
- 14:03Speaker 1: the Bears will open up their offense and put Justin
- 14:05Speaker 1: Fields in a position to run on the edge, this
- 14:08Speaker 1: is the week. That's why I'm buying into the Bears
- 14:10Speaker 1: more than anything. But I'm not saying, like, oh my god,
- 14:14Speaker 1: this is like a line in the sand for me,
- 14:17Speaker 1: a deal breaker. Is that three and a half? I
- 14:19Speaker 1: think it's a part of the conversation.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm I agree.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Okay, next up Cincinnati, Tennessee. And this is where it
- 14:28Speaker 1: gets interesting, right because it's at two at that three
- 14:35Speaker 1: sixty five, and I think we loved it at two
- 14:37Speaker 1: and a half. I said it was my exec decision.
- 14:39Speaker 1: It is a two and a half in the contest,
- 14:41Speaker 1: and like, as we think about this, I said this,
- 14:43Speaker 1: and we're strategizing about the contest. We want to do better,
- 14:46Speaker 1: like we have to start locking lines on Thursday when
- 14:50Speaker 1: we if we see a majority of the lines that
- 14:52Speaker 1: we like, we're getting a little bit of an edge.
- 14:54Speaker 1: So is that two and a half in the contest?
- 14:56Speaker 1: But I think we love Tennessee either.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Way, this is a no brainer. You gotta bet this.
- 15:02Speaker 2: You gotta bet the money line. If you listen to
- 15:05Speaker 2: the show, you know the stat no one is better
- 15:07Speaker 2: straight up as a dog than Rabel in the NFL history.
- 15:11Speaker 2: So ye, yeah, you just gotta sprinkle some on the
- 15:14Speaker 2: money line and take the two and a half.
- 15:16Speaker 1: I believe Simon said this will be one of our
- 15:19Speaker 1: bets on Sunday. He said it on Tuesday. It was
- 15:23Speaker 1: my exec decision. I still love it. The wise guys
- 15:27Speaker 1: love it. All the tickets coming in on the Bengals,
- 15:30Speaker 1: all the money coming in on the Titans. That's everything
- 15:33Speaker 1: you need to know. Lock it in, Titans, Matt Mitchell.
- 15:37Speaker 1: I want confirmation that we are going to lock this
- 15:40Speaker 1: in Tennessee on Sunday. Confirmed confirmed? All right, good. It's
- 15:48Speaker 1: not our big balls, it's not our foxhol yet, but
- 15:55Speaker 1: it is a big game for us. All right, Let's
- 15:57Speaker 1: talk about Miami and Buffalo. Let's not waste time. I mean,
- 16:02Speaker 1: I get why people are nervous about it. It was
- 16:05Speaker 1: our Simon says, it's still a two and a half
- 16:08Speaker 1: across the board, but it's two and a half minus
- 16:11Speaker 1: one twenty. So this is this just feels like a
- 16:19Speaker 1: smash spot for the Bills. I know there's trends against it,
- 16:23Speaker 1: smash spot. No, it does. It does like everyone's freaking
- 16:29Speaker 1: out about Miami. Everyone is freaking out about Miami. The
- 16:33Speaker 1: Patriots played them well. Sean McDermott has played the Bills
- 16:39Speaker 1: really well. I mean has played the Dolphins really well.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Two is like his completion percentage against the Bills fifty
- 16:45Speaker 1: nine percent. No was QBR fifty nine percent, everyone else
- 16:49Speaker 1: the lowest, Like he's above eighty. So Sean McDermott knows
- 16:55Speaker 1: what to do when he's playing against TWOA and now
- 16:57Speaker 1: he's got three weeks of film and a Patriots game
- 17:00Speaker 1: to see how they were stopping him. I like the
- 17:03Speaker 1: Bills as a short home favorite. I'm just going to
- 17:05Speaker 1: love it.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going crazy on it though, Like that
- 17:10Speaker 2: Tennessee game.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I put fifty dollars on it, and to me, you know,
- 17:16Speaker 1: the books called to negotiate and I was like, listen,
- 17:21Speaker 1: I'm not going any higher than two and a half.
- 17:24Speaker 2: I would not do that. This the reason people hate
- 17:26Speaker 2: this game is it feels like whoever as the ball
- 17:28Speaker 2: lasts is probably gonna win. Right. That's and betters don't
- 17:31Speaker 2: want to put themselves in those kind of spots where
- 17:34Speaker 2: you know, say what you want about this Bills team
- 17:38Speaker 2: and how good they've looked. They got like two of
- 17:41Speaker 2: the oldest safeties in football going against Waddle and Tyreek Hill.
- 17:45Speaker 2: That's going to be a problem, and you know mcdermot's
- 17:48Speaker 2: got to scheme that up and figure out how to
- 17:50Speaker 2: keep all of it in front of them. But yeah,
- 17:53Speaker 2: it's again I'm trying not to leak confidence on this
- 17:57Speaker 2: one because I've already bet it heavily. But it's just
- 18:01Speaker 2: every day it gets a little scary as we get
- 18:03Speaker 2: closer to kickoff from mea chat where it's just I'm
- 18:05Speaker 2: so deep now now I'm about to lose a nice
- 18:07Speaker 2: house on this Miami team. If we've gone from a
- 18:10Speaker 2: nice car to a nice house. If they covered this week,
- 18:12Speaker 2: I'm getting killed here. So like, we have to trust
- 18:17Speaker 2: football in the spots, and you know, not only does
- 18:20Speaker 2: numbers say This is good. This is just how it is.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Man.
- 18:23Speaker 2: No teams go undefeated, no teams that you know you
- 18:27Speaker 2: can be the all hype team. You can have seventy
- 18:29Speaker 2: points one week and then you can be the dog
- 18:32Speaker 2: the next week and just be embarrassed what the book
- 18:34Speaker 2: is telling you with this number, Say Miami really was
- 18:38Speaker 2: that team everyone proceeds them to be, this number would
- 18:40Speaker 2: have gone from two and a half to one and
- 18:41Speaker 2: a half to be one and a half at a
- 18:43Speaker 2: pick right now, Like that's where this number would I went.
- 18:46Speaker 2: If the professionals would have said, Miami is this real team?
- 18:49Speaker 2: You've seen the professionals of coming on the bills or
- 18:52Speaker 2: they're sitting it out, and that's just how they're going
- 18:53Speaker 2: to play this one where it's like I don't know
- 18:56Speaker 2: any pros coming in on Miami because it's such a
- 18:58Speaker 2: bad spot for a team and such a letdown game
- 19:00Speaker 2: and then a divisional game. Like what's working for them
- 19:03Speaker 2: right now is I just look at the weather report
- 19:04Speaker 2: before he came on. It's perfect for what Miami wants. Right,
- 19:07Speaker 2: It's gonna be seventy you know, no rain, no nothing,
- 19:11Speaker 2: It's gonna be like the perfect day for Miami. So
- 19:14Speaker 2: they won't have. You know, what makes the Bill's home
- 19:16Speaker 2: field advantage special is that you know either the winds
- 19:19Speaker 2: or the storms that get up there in New York.
- 19:21Speaker 2: This is an early October game, So like the scheduling
- 19:23Speaker 2: guys did the Bills no favor here. But what you
- 19:27Speaker 2: just said to me is the biggest thing that when
- 19:30Speaker 2: a team like Miami plays the way they did the
- 19:33Speaker 2: week before, they're going to be the public team, like
- 19:37Speaker 2: everyone's going to love them. So we just we have
- 19:39Speaker 2: to take a stand and trust our numbers and take
- 19:41Speaker 2: the Bills. Heare, and I hope people listening to us,
- 19:44Speaker 2: I get it. You're so skeptical and you just don't
- 19:45Speaker 2: want to do it, but you kind of have to, Like,
- 19:47Speaker 2: you have to play the numbers here. You have to
- 19:49Speaker 2: play this divisional team that you're catching over under a
- 19:52Speaker 2: field goal, Like there's still plenty of two and a
- 19:54Speaker 2: half's out there, and I don't think they're going to
- 19:56Speaker 2: be there for much longer. I do think that's going
- 19:57Speaker 2: to close it three by kickoff. So so I'm gonna
- 20:01Speaker 2: trust it, Chad, We're going to have this one in
- 20:02Speaker 2: the contests minus two and a half. Give me the Bills.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a few things that are interesting.
- 20:08Speaker 1: And to your point, fifty to fifty on the tickets,
- 20:13Speaker 1: which to me says the public is really on Miami,
- 20:15Speaker 1: but eighty two percent of the money is on Buffalo,
- 20:18Speaker 1: which tells you the professionals are on Buffalo. And too,
- 20:20Speaker 1: it speaks to exactly what you just said, like the
- 20:23Speaker 1: professionals are either sitting this out or betting on Buffalo.
- 20:27Speaker 1: And so I think Buffalo has an equally good offense.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Don't forget they just demolished teams back to back that
- 20:38Speaker 1: it looked good the week before, right, and it basically
- 20:43Speaker 1: did the same thing that the Dolphins have done against
- 20:45Speaker 1: two teams that were not very good in putting up
- 20:48Speaker 1: seventy on the Broncos and winning handily in Week one,
- 20:52Speaker 1: and then you know, having a harder time with the Patriots.
- 20:55Speaker 1: But the Bills just have a better defense. And so
- 20:59Speaker 1: if we're talking about let's say Miami has a really
- 21:04Speaker 1: good offense and the Bills have a really good offense.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Let's say the let's say Miami has a spectacular offense
- 21:11Speaker 1: and the Bills have a really good offense. The Bills
- 21:14Speaker 1: have a top seven defense, They're getting the most pressure
- 21:18Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they're their blitz rate is the
- 21:21Speaker 1: lowest in the NFL. So they're getting on a four
- 21:23Speaker 1: man front and they have the most sacks in the NFL.
- 21:26Speaker 1: That's not anything that I know.
- 21:28Speaker 2: I don't want to react tough. They've played Zach Wilson,
- 21:30Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo, and Sam how.
- 21:32Speaker 1: So then you could overreact the same way for the
- 21:35Speaker 1: Dolphins offense.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's what we're not going to do with
- 21:40Speaker 2: them getting seventy. But at the same time, like we're
- 21:44Speaker 2: gonna learn a lot about the Bills defense here. This
- 21:46Speaker 2: is like my big point. Like I just told you
- 21:47Speaker 2: they got old ass. They got old ass safeties. Like
- 21:50Speaker 2: that's if I'm going to point to a weakness on
- 21:52Speaker 2: this team. They have old safeties, which they might be
- 21:55Speaker 2: smart as hell. They're gonna be able to read what
- 21:57Speaker 2: Miami is going to do, and they really keep Tyreek
- 22:02Speaker 2: and Waddell from going downfield. And like that's why I
- 22:04Speaker 2: can't wait to see it, because that's that's all this
- 22:06Speaker 2: is gonna come down to. Because I'm in total agreemance
- 22:08Speaker 2: with you. I think the Bills have a better defense
- 22:09Speaker 2: in Miami, like Miami's defense to me, is not that good.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Like they have a bunch of guys who have just
- 22:15Speaker 2: aged out. I mean Howard, who's supposed to be their
- 22:18Speaker 2: best corner. He was supposed to be their number two
- 22:20Speaker 2: because I brought in a Ramsey like that was supposed
- 22:21Speaker 2: to be their guy. That's a big deal. When now
- 22:24Speaker 2: you have Howard trying to cover digs or gave Davis,
- 22:27Speaker 2: He's going to lose that battle every time. So again,
- 22:31Speaker 2: I'm very confident in this this Bill's team. It just
- 22:34Speaker 2: means you will not be shocked if you know, with
- 22:37Speaker 2: two minutes ago, they're up three the Bills and two
- 22:41Speaker 2: as the ball and he goes on the field score
- 22:43Speaker 2: touchdowns somehow. I just wanted people to be ready for
- 22:45Speaker 2: that scenario. But don't be mad. You're playing a smart
- 22:48Speaker 2: number here and taking this bill side. And Chad just
- 22:51Speaker 2: gave out that the book he's looking at, it's eighty
- 22:53Speaker 2: percent of the money is right now in the bills.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I'm looking at one of the most public books out
- 22:57Speaker 2: there and it's about seventy percent of the money is
- 22:59Speaker 2: on my So I just want people to understand the
- 23:01Speaker 2: public is coming in on this Miami team, So don't
- 23:05Speaker 2: be scared off that our ours are showing eighty percent.
- 23:08Speaker 2: That is what Chad saying that that's pro money. Where
- 23:10Speaker 2: at most public books Right now, all the public money
- 23:13Speaker 2: is coming on this Miami team.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't wait for this game. Here's
- 23:19Speaker 1: the question, how much are we going to want to
- 23:24Speaker 1: slack Matt Mitchell during the game? And if it's going badly,
- 23:28Speaker 1: I will not include him on any of the slacks
- 23:31Speaker 1: because I will feel so sad that he has to
- 23:33Speaker 1: enjoy this.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't wait to see Matt Sunday Night. Yeah,
- 23:37Speaker 2: everyone's got to tune in.
- 23:39Speaker 1: It's by the way, everyone has to tune in Sunday
- 23:41Speaker 1: night just to deal with Matt Mitchell one way or
- 23:43Speaker 1: the other. It is classic Buffalo luck that they've got
- 23:47Speaker 1: a great team and they got to get like a
- 23:49Speaker 1: juggernaut coming in on a perfect fall day in Buffalo.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Commanders flash to eight and a half yesterday. I bet
- 23:57Speaker 1: at eight and a half. We talked a lot about
- 23:59Speaker 1: it on on Tuesday. It's at eight now. The wise
- 24:06Speaker 1: guys has some thoughts on this one.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of them are what I
- 24:14Speaker 2: already talked about. Jalen Hurts is like that guy, Like,
- 24:17Speaker 2: it's no Fluke the twenty and one straight up in
- 24:19Speaker 2: his last twenty one games, and he's dominated at home.
- 24:23Speaker 2: And the big argument for them is stop trying to
- 24:25Speaker 2: do all this work and figuring out this Eagles team
- 24:27Speaker 2: and just bet them first half. And there's like, literally
- 24:31Speaker 2: we're overthinking it trying to figure out this Eagles team. Eagles,
- 24:35Speaker 2: you know, say what you want about them and their
- 24:38Speaker 2: coaching staff. This year, they're already two to one in
- 24:41Speaker 2: the first half and over the last two years or
- 24:43Speaker 2: seventeen and six against the spread in the first half.
- 24:46Speaker 2: So it's a team that clearly they come out of
- 24:51Speaker 2: a really strong game plan and it works. So if
- 24:53Speaker 2: you're scared off about this big number back in this
- 24:55Speaker 2: Eagles team, just go first half. But we have to
- 24:59Speaker 2: take eight and a half, don't we chat on Washington.
- 25:02Speaker 2: So I'll play that number. But I just don't know
- 25:04Speaker 2: if this is gonna be one of our finalists in
- 25:06Speaker 2: the contest. Like I love the number, love the love
- 25:09Speaker 2: the whole idea behind it. But this Eagles team is
- 25:13Speaker 2: my number one Power rated team for a reason. They're
- 25:16Speaker 2: just really good across the board. And you know, Sam
- 25:19Speaker 2: played well against the Cardinals played well against Denver. Those
- 25:24Speaker 2: are two really bad teams with bad defenses, and he
- 25:26Speaker 2: looked really bad against a good defense in the Bills.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Do we think the Bill's defense is that much better
- 25:31Speaker 2: than the Eagles defense? Not really, Like I'd probably take
- 25:34Speaker 2: the Eagles defense over the Bills. So even if Sam's
- 25:37Speaker 2: not throwing four picks, I think he's gonna throw one
- 25:40Speaker 2: or two up, Like he's just gonna get pressure up
- 25:41Speaker 2: the middle. They don't have the O line to really
- 25:44Speaker 2: stop this. This Eagles d tackle in tier line. So
- 25:48Speaker 2: we're taking the eight and a half. But if people
- 25:50Speaker 2: really want my strong bet on this game, I'm just
- 25:52Speaker 2: gonna keep riding this Eagles first half trend like that.
- 25:55Speaker 2: You can say it's fluky last year, but you know
- 25:58Speaker 2: them winning eleven straight first halfs, them being seventeen and
- 26:01Speaker 2: six last two years in the first half, Like that's real,
- 26:04Speaker 2: real data that this team is well prepared and really
- 26:06Speaker 2: really run a great game script to start these games.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know why people would say anything bad
- 26:12Speaker 1: about their coaching staff. I think that Siriani is great.
- 26:18Speaker 1: I think he gets the team ready. I think he
- 26:19Speaker 1: puts together a great plan. I think they're struggling through
- 26:22Speaker 1: the first month of the season with new coordinators. Much
- 26:25Speaker 1: more offensively than defensively. Jalen Carter is going to win
- 26:28Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Year already own Jinks and Jed Yeah,
- 26:32Speaker 1: already at plus one ten at bet three six five.
- 26:37Speaker 1: But I agree with you on the contest. This is
- 26:38Speaker 1: going to be a tricky one right now. For the contest,
- 26:41Speaker 1: we have agreed. We love Tennessee, we love the Bills.
- 26:45Speaker 1: There's a couple of controversial choices coming up. Las Vegas
- 26:50Speaker 1: Raiders at Chargers plus six on Tuesday. I bet it
- 26:55Speaker 1: at six. It's now down to five and a half.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Wise guys coming in on the Raiders. I still like
- 27:01Speaker 1: the charger of the Raiders in this spot. I feel like,
- 27:07Speaker 1: if you got two knucklehead coaches and you got a
- 27:10Speaker 1: big number, take the underdog on the road in a
- 27:15Speaker 1: division game, and the stats, the systems will will back
- 27:21Speaker 1: us up.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to make it our foxhole?
- 27:24Speaker 1: Okay, Because the other two games I was thinking about,
- 27:26Speaker 1: we can talk about it right now, are the next
- 27:28Speaker 1: ones on the list, New England and Dallas and Casey
- 27:31Speaker 1: at the Jets. To me, those were going to be
- 27:34Speaker 1: Foxhole and Big Balls. But I'm fine making the Raiders
- 27:38Speaker 1: of Foxhole.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Yeah, it just feels like, all right, let's do it.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Not that everyone hates this Raiders team, but they're kind
- 27:47Speaker 2: of like the Bears of last week, of the guys
- 27:49Speaker 2: this week. You know, they're talking a lot to the media.
- 27:52Speaker 2: We got Devanta Adams saying stuff, we got Max Crosby
- 27:55Speaker 2: saying stuff to the media, Like this feels like a
- 27:58Speaker 2: team that's on the teeter of exploding and this they
- 28:00Speaker 2: really need this game, like they really need this game
- 28:03Speaker 2: to kind of save their season. So you know, whether
- 28:06Speaker 2: Jimmy G's playing or not, we didn't care. That's why
- 28:08Speaker 2: we grabbed the six. It still doesn't really matter to me.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Like I'm just I'm just fading this Chargers defense that
- 28:14Speaker 2: I don't think they can stop anybody. And you know
- 28:17Speaker 2: who whoever's back there quarterbacking this Raiders team, I think,
- 28:21Speaker 2: but it'll move the ball against them. So yeah, for
- 28:24Speaker 2: me to make this our fox Will Chat, it just
- 28:26Speaker 2: feels like not many people are going to be in
- 28:28Speaker 2: there fighting with us. Brother like this, this feels like
- 28:30Speaker 2: it's pretty empty, So I love it.
- 28:32Speaker 1: All right, Then we're going to the foxhole. You know me,
- 28:35Speaker 1: regardless of what's going on, I'm a foxhole guy. I
- 28:37Speaker 1: commit to a team, I commit to a city.
- 28:39Speaker 2: I'm a foxhole guy.
- 28:40Speaker 1: And Evan Abrams just put a stat in the script
- 28:44Speaker 1: that made me like it even more. Road Division dogs
- 28:47Speaker 1: of three and a half, of three and a half
- 28:49Speaker 1: or more the last two years thirty five and sixteen
- 28:52Speaker 1: against the spread. Now we're in the foxhole. And you
- 28:56Speaker 1: know what we got in the foxhole right now, Simon.
- 28:59Speaker 2: And you know you love that trend.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I love it. I also love when I can do
- 29:06Speaker 1: a good wordplay right right there. Off the top of
- 29:08Speaker 1: my head, New England at Dallas was minus seven now
- 29:13Speaker 1: at six and a half. I bet it at six
- 29:16Speaker 1: and a half. This was the game. When I was
- 29:17Speaker 1: doing my research on Monday, I was worried because we
- 29:21Speaker 1: had talked about New England Sunday night. I was worried
- 29:23Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I was going to have to try to
- 29:25Speaker 1: convince you that Dallas was the right side. We both
- 29:28Speaker 1: kind of came to that conclusion. Are we still feeling that? No.
- 29:35Speaker 2: I just didn't know what to do with it. I
- 29:36Speaker 2: was hoping to get some clarity for some guys because
- 29:38Speaker 2: I got this power rat to write it where it's at, Like,
- 29:40Speaker 2: I think this is a good number by the books,
- 29:42Speaker 2: it's a fair number. Like there's a lot of questions
- 29:45Speaker 2: about New England, mainly Mac Jones and what this kid
- 29:47Speaker 2: is and Dallas. You know, I tried not to overreact
- 29:52Speaker 2: to it, but like Detroit tonight, say they do go
- 29:55Speaker 2: into Green Bay and win this game, I could I
- 29:58Speaker 2: mean I could see them, you know, being right there
- 30:01Speaker 2: with Dallas or being the number three team right now,
- 30:03Speaker 2: because this is a game Detroit always loses. Tonight, like
- 30:07Speaker 2: this is a game they should lose. The public loves him,
- 30:09Speaker 2: everyone's coming in on them golf outdoors in this game.
- 30:12Speaker 2: They always lose in Lambeau. So yeah, like I'm looking
- 30:17Speaker 2: this Dallas team and I don't know if they can
- 30:20Speaker 2: fix it in one week. Chat that's the fear, Like
- 30:22Speaker 2: they need a lot to fix on that offensive line
- 30:24Speaker 2: and they have one week to do it. And now
- 30:26Speaker 2: he was coming Belichick and Belichick's defense, Like you thought
- 30:29Speaker 2: Arizona's defense played really well against Dak. You're getting like
- 30:33Speaker 2: the master and he's got the guys now like this,
- 30:36Speaker 2: I can't get a round good. This Christian Gonzales kid
- 30:38Speaker 2: is and yeah, he's really good. He's really good. Like again,
- 30:43Speaker 2: I don't even care about the last game. I went
- 30:45Speaker 2: back and watched him against Tyreek Hill like that. If
- 30:47Speaker 2: you want to watch a rookie looking like an all pro,
- 30:51Speaker 2: go watch how he played against Tyreek Hill when the
- 30:54Speaker 2: Miami played the Patriots. So you know, Bill hasn't had
- 30:59Speaker 2: a shutdown corn since Revs. And if you go back
- 31:03Speaker 2: and watch all the old film about how he designed
- 31:05Speaker 2: that defense with Revs, he would literally bring a safety
- 31:09Speaker 2: up and not even have a safety over on Revs's side.
- 31:12Speaker 2: It was truly Revs was on one side by him
- 31:14Speaker 2: his entire self. And there's a couple of times in
- 31:17Speaker 2: that Miami game where he you know, he did this
- 31:19Speaker 2: umbrella defense. People kept talking about where it's when he
- 31:22Speaker 2: did a low drop safety. So he had a guy
- 31:25Speaker 2: in press really up close on Tyree to get him
- 31:27Speaker 2: off his route, and then he had a safety really
- 31:30Speaker 2: close low down that they weren't really respecting the deep shots.
- 31:33Speaker 2: He can do that same exact style here against this
- 31:35Speaker 2: Cowboys team that who is their deep threat, Like Ceedee
- 31:39Speaker 2: Lamb's not that guy. Gallup has not been that guy
- 31:41Speaker 2: since he's come back from the injury I Cooks missed
- 31:44Speaker 2: last week. He should be back this week. I just
- 31:46Speaker 2: I don't see the wins right now for Dallas on offense,
- 31:50Speaker 2: and then flip side New England Chad. My fear is
- 31:53Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to run the ball against this
- 31:54Speaker 2: Dallas team. I just that's what England wants to do.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Like Zeke, I believe he had just as many or
- 32:00Speaker 2: maybe had more touches last week than Stevenson. It they're
- 32:02Speaker 2: kind of moving into a more two headed monster there
- 32:05Speaker 2: for New Englands running back position. So I would love
- 32:08Speaker 2: to get there with you on Dallas. I just can't.
- 32:11Speaker 2: I can't get there, can't get there at this number.
- 32:13Speaker 2: You're probably right, this probably the right time to back them.
- 32:15Speaker 2: I just it's such a big number here. I'm just
- 32:18Speaker 2: inclined to take the Patriots. It's just such a big
- 32:20Speaker 2: number for Dallas team that they're not fully healthy offensively
- 32:24Speaker 2: on the offensive line, and the books maybe they haven't
- 32:27Speaker 2: accounted for how much Digs was really worth this defense.
- 32:29Speaker 2: So we're learning a lot here about this Dallas team
- 32:32Speaker 2: and what they're going to be this upcoming season.
- 32:34Speaker 1: I'm counting on regression to the meme, and what I
- 32:36Speaker 1: mean by that is Dallas was two for five in
- 32:39Speaker 1: the red zone against Arizona, and I would expect that
- 32:44Speaker 1: is something that can get cleaned up with better play
- 32:48Speaker 1: calling and looking for Jake Ferguson more in the red zone.
- 32:55Speaker 1: So I think Dallas in this spot. It's when Dak
- 32:59Speaker 1: has historically been the guy you can count on, right,
- 33:03Speaker 1: you're getting him as a favorite at home. So I
- 33:06Speaker 1: like Dak in this spot. I like Dak and Mike
- 33:09Speaker 1: McCarthy fixing their red zone issues. So I'm riding with
- 33:12Speaker 1: the Cowboys minus six and a half. If it's seven,
- 33:14Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. But it's a six and a half,
- 33:15Speaker 1: I feel like I'm getting half a point.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Just a Scoch quick step before we move from my guy,
- 33:20Speaker 2: Evan Dallas allowing five point three yards per rush third
- 33:25Speaker 2: worse than NFL.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Right now, all right, next game, I'm gonna say it
- 33:29Speaker 1: right now, big balls better the week. We gotta take
- 33:37Speaker 1: the Jets Kansas City at the New York Jets. It's
- 33:40Speaker 1: at nine and a half. I believe it will hit
- 33:43Speaker 1: ten on Sunday. You might feel differently, but it hit
- 33:46Speaker 1: ten yesterday. For a second, I bet it, dude. This
- 33:49Speaker 1: is we missed this last week with the Cardinals, right
- 33:52Speaker 1: where nobody was backing the Cardinals as a huge home dog,
- 33:56Speaker 1: and we didn't even discuss it. This week we're discussing
- 34:00Speaker 1: right now. Sixteen percent of the tickets are on the Jets.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Only one team since twenty fourteen has closed with fewer
- 34:06Speaker 1: than twenty percent of the tickets at home in a
- 34:09Speaker 1: night game Pats plus six and a half versus the
- 34:13Speaker 1: Bucks in twenty twenty one. That was Brady's return to
- 34:18Speaker 1: New England.
- 34:19Speaker 2: I'm telling you people, the group that's coming in heavy
- 34:22Speaker 2: on this Jets team, highly respected, smart guys, back to
- 34:26Speaker 2: smart money here. Hopefully we get the ten again. Like
- 34:28Speaker 2: me and you hit the ten. I've grabbed some nine
- 34:30Speaker 2: and a halfs just in case it does drop even
- 34:32Speaker 2: more than a few books. But I'm with you. I
- 34:35Speaker 2: do think I'll get back to ten. I just the
- 34:37Speaker 2: guys I know and respect, they're going to keep hitting
- 34:40Speaker 2: the same time with touches ten. So I don't know
- 34:43Speaker 2: how they do it, Chad, I wish I could come
- 34:45Speaker 2: here and spin some people some bs. But if you're
- 34:48Speaker 2: just looking on paper, how they do this? How? Somehow
- 34:54Speaker 2: this Jets team can step up in the spot. If
- 34:57Speaker 2: if you go back and watch that second half, he's
- 35:00Speaker 2: he kind of found something there against that Patriots team
- 35:02Speaker 2: after the first half, Like again, it wasn't wasn't incredible.
- 35:05Speaker 2: They didn't come back and win. He's still he's still
- 35:08Speaker 2: Zack Wilson, but he seemed like he was making throws
- 35:12Speaker 2: that he was more comfortable with going downfield, which is
- 35:14Speaker 2: all I'm looking for. Like this kid every time checks
- 35:18Speaker 2: it down, Like that's why I hate betting on Zach Wilson.
- 35:20Speaker 2: He just checks it down every time. But in that
- 35:23Speaker 2: second half against the Patriots, he was pushing the ball
- 35:24Speaker 2: downfield and looking for his guys so that in the defense.
- 35:29Speaker 1: It was fourth and ten and they had no choice.
- 35:31Speaker 1: He checked it down.
- 35:32Speaker 2: He checked it. I can't take it. It's brutal, but
- 35:36Speaker 2: we're really back in here as his defense and we
- 35:40Speaker 2: gave the stat which you know, it didn't work out
- 35:44Speaker 2: against that Dallas team at the time, they were two
- 35:46Speaker 2: and oh straight up in two and oh against the
- 35:47Speaker 2: spread when Zach Wilson was there, seven or point more underdog. Okay,
- 35:51Speaker 2: it didn't work against Dallas. That was a letdown spot.
- 35:54Speaker 2: After there's such an emotional win against the Bills and
- 35:56Speaker 2: losing Rogers, this feels like the same as a Raiders
- 36:01Speaker 2: spot of like this is like their team against everybody,
- 36:04Speaker 2: like they got you know, we're not the only ones whispering.
- 36:09Speaker 2: You got to bring in Kirk Cousins like that. They're
- 36:11Speaker 2: hearing in the locker room. Everyone's talking about it, and
- 36:13Speaker 2: the media is asking these guys about it. They all
- 36:15Speaker 2: know and this just feels like a stand for them.
- 36:18Speaker 2: And on a primetime game where like we just said,
- 36:20Speaker 2: everyone everyone you talk to is going to have this
- 36:23Speaker 2: tease to have the Chief's money line. And you know
- 36:27Speaker 2: that Patriots game against the Bucks, they opened that line
- 36:32Speaker 2: two and a half, they went to three and a half,
- 36:34Speaker 2: went to four and a half, went to five and
- 36:35Speaker 2: a half, then closed at six six and a half
- 36:38Speaker 2: and the Patriots missed a field goal at the very
- 36:40Speaker 2: end of the game to lose that game. So the
- 36:42Speaker 2: last time this exact scenario happened where everyone in the
- 36:45Speaker 2: world was saying, this is free money, Come and bet
- 36:48Speaker 2: the Chiefs winning line, Come and bet the Chiefs on
- 36:49Speaker 2: the spread, Come put them in their teasers. It came
- 36:52Speaker 2: down to a field goal that decided all those things.
- 36:54Speaker 2: So we have to take this number. This is I
- 36:57Speaker 2: can't be gonna say this. This is probably end up
- 36:59Speaker 2: in our line around Robin and that would be so hilarious.
- 37:03Speaker 2: At the Jets start of the year two and two
- 37:05Speaker 2: was Zach Wilson their quarterback with a winner for the
- 37:07Speaker 2: Chiefs and the Bills. Football is so stupid, simon.
- 37:12Speaker 1: You'd like to speak in terms of nice houses and
- 37:16Speaker 1: nice cars. I speak in terms of the what I
- 37:22Speaker 1: call the K trifecta. I will be putting the four
- 37:27Speaker 1: to oh one K, the K one income, the five
- 37:31Speaker 1: twenty nine income, you name it, all of it going
- 37:36Speaker 1: on the Jets. I'm getting calls from bookmakers right now
- 37:40Speaker 1: begging me to stop hitting the Jets. The question is,
- 37:45Speaker 1: does this go into our contest at nine and a half?
- 37:48Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, yeah, and well you got it. You change.
- 37:51Speaker 2: You got to get a high yield savings account Okay,
- 37:53Speaker 2: five percent right now thanks to the US government. So
- 37:55Speaker 2: get on that, my guy.
- 37:57Speaker 1: No, I'm dude, believe me, I'm a totala. What you
- 38:01Speaker 1: got to look out for is the six percent CD
- 38:04Speaker 1: that is being offered certain banks right now because there
- 38:07Speaker 1: are tax implications.
- 38:08Speaker 2: That's true.
- 38:08Speaker 1: To get into that. We can get into that later,
- 38:12Speaker 1: all right, So right now, we really like Tennessee. We
- 38:15Speaker 1: really like the Bills, we really like the Jets. We've
- 38:18Speaker 1: got a couple of spots open in the contest. Pitt
- 38:21Speaker 1: at Houston. We talked about that a little bit. It
- 38:24Speaker 1: was at three and a half. Now it's to three.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I know what you're saying about t J. Watt against
- 38:28Speaker 1: the the.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Backup that cast.
- 38:32Speaker 1: But I do think that this Steelers run game, rushing
- 38:38Speaker 1: defense is terrible. I think their rushing offense is terrible.
- 38:43Speaker 1: I think that Mike Tomlin on the road as a
- 38:47Speaker 1: favorite is not the same as Mike Tomlin at home
- 38:50Speaker 1: as an underdog. So in every respect, I still like
- 38:54Speaker 1: the Texans here.
- 38:56Speaker 2: We'll just stay away from it then because I don't
- 38:57Speaker 2: want to go against the boys, and I totally get
- 39:01Speaker 2: where they're coming from. That CJ is due to lay
- 39:03Speaker 2: a total fucking egg like this, That's just how it
- 39:06Speaker 2: is with these rookies, and he is, you know, making
- 39:10Speaker 2: great reads and having great plays. He has not seen
- 39:15Speaker 2: at TJ. Watt. Like, we can say all we want
- 39:18Speaker 2: about the Jaguars team. You know, that was more of
- 39:21Speaker 2: the Jaguars, right, just laying an egg, and I don't
- 39:24Speaker 2: know if Pittsburgh is gonna be in the same spot.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Like I trust the coaching as more in Pittsburgh. But yeah,
- 39:30Speaker 2: we'll just we'll stay away from that one because we
- 39:32Speaker 2: do we have a game I do want to talk
- 39:33Speaker 2: about that they've moved to a favorite. Maybe I can
- 39:36Speaker 2: convince you to move to.
- 39:38Speaker 1: All right, well, but before we get to that, let's
- 39:41Speaker 1: do let's do one more. Then we'll get to that.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Baltimore plus three at Cleveland. We were waiting to get
- 39:47Speaker 1: to the three. It got there. I thould like if
- 39:51Speaker 1: you I like Baltimore here, I bet Baltimore plus three.
- 39:56Speaker 1: But I'm playing the number, and I'm playing sort of
- 39:58Speaker 1: the history here that you want to play the underdog
- 40:03Speaker 1: at this number in a divisional game. I also could
- 40:06Speaker 1: understand if we want to back off it, like and Stuck.
- 40:08Speaker 1: You talked about this, You've talked about this. This Brown's
- 40:12Speaker 1: defense is historically great. So I have no concerns if
- 40:16Speaker 1: we want to walk away from this.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I have no idea what to do. This
- 40:20Speaker 2: is their first real test, this Cleveland defense. But on
- 40:23Speaker 2: the flip side, like Lamar, this is terrifying for him,
- 40:27Speaker 2: like he needs he needs his O line back. So
- 40:31Speaker 2: this is one of these where if you, if you
- 40:32Speaker 2: do want to take the Ravens taker like me and
- 40:33Speaker 2: Chatter doing, We're putting a little in the three and
- 40:36Speaker 2: maybe once all these guys get cleared for Sunday and
- 40:38Speaker 2: I know who's me back and playing for, you know,
- 40:41Speaker 2: this banged up Ravens team, maybe I'll put some more
- 40:44Speaker 2: money on it. But I just I have a hard
- 40:46Speaker 2: time getting there right now because everything I've seen from
- 40:49Speaker 2: this Cleveland defense, like they're they're incredible, and they match
- 40:52Speaker 2: up so well against what this Ravens team wants to
- 40:55Speaker 2: do offensively. So yeah, like there's so many great games
- 40:59Speaker 2: this week, and this is another one where it's like,
- 41:01Speaker 2: not this decides the brown season, but if they win this,
- 41:05Speaker 2: Chad me and you are feeling like geniuses taking them
- 41:08Speaker 2: to win this division.
- 41:09Speaker 1: If they win this, all of a sudden, I get
- 41:11Speaker 1: to keep that ticket.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Yeah. But seriously, though, it's like this is just this
- 41:18Speaker 2: is one of those games where we wouldn't be shocked
- 41:21Speaker 2: if what happened in Pittsburgh happens here. Like the Browns Brown,
- 41:24Speaker 2: It's what the Brown's do, and that's what sucks where
- 41:26Speaker 2: it's like me, Chad, we love the Browns. We have
- 41:29Speaker 2: to take the three with the Ravens because of the
- 41:32Speaker 2: history and because of Lamar as a dog. Historically he
- 41:35Speaker 2: is very profitable taking as a dog in this spot.
- 41:38Speaker 2: So we'll hold our nose and take the three. Chad.
- 41:40Speaker 2: But another game, I just I just can't see us
- 41:42Speaker 2: having the contest Like it's just it's just hard for
- 41:44Speaker 2: me to get there.
- 41:45Speaker 1: All right, So the game right now, we're talking about
- 41:48Speaker 1: Tennessee Buffalo and the Jets that we really like for
- 41:52Speaker 1: the contest. It's much smaller grouping than we normally have.
- 41:56Speaker 1: I could see us wanting to get the Raiders in there.
- 41:59Speaker 1: What is the game that you want to convince me of?
- 42:03Speaker 2: And I just want to say real quick, Evan sent
- 42:04Speaker 2: us to us. Lamar eleven and two is ats as
- 42:07Speaker 2: a dog. So it's just play the numbers. People like
- 42:10Speaker 2: me and Chad. We thought maybe we'll go against them
- 42:12Speaker 2: with Cincy in week two and Lamar made us eat
- 42:15Speaker 2: our lunch. So how can I get you on the Rams? Chad?
- 42:19Speaker 1: Dude, dude, I love the Rams. I bet the last night.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Here's the thing, here's the thing, uh in like What
- 42:28Speaker 1: worries me is that that trend of teams that go
- 42:31Speaker 1: from underdogs two favorites and so yeah, yeah, you know
- 42:37Speaker 1: right now, the like that's why I bet that, because
- 42:39Speaker 1: there's there's some discrepancies here, Like the Rams are plus one.
- 42:44Speaker 1: I got them at plus one and a half last.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Night, one and a half in the contest, though, I'm
- 42:48Speaker 2: looking right now because apparently one and a half in
- 42:50Speaker 2: the contest is our sweet spot with the Saints last week.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Yeah, so if we could get the Rams at one
- 42:56Speaker 1: and a half in the contest, lock it in, then
- 42:58Speaker 1: I would say, let's start. Yeah, are lines, but I
- 43:02Speaker 1: love the Rams, you know, stuck. Last night I was
- 43:04Speaker 1: listening to the Sunday six Pack. Raybond loves the Rams
- 43:08Speaker 1: at plus one and a half, and he had great
- 43:10Speaker 1: reasons right now in the contest, the Rams half minus
- 43:15Speaker 1: a half.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Mmm, Now, yeah, that's tough, so at least we don't
- 43:23Speaker 2: have to rush to it then, But yeah, I would
- 43:25Speaker 2: have loved them in one and a half. It's just
- 43:27Speaker 2: it's a great spot for Rams team that there were
- 43:30Speaker 2: so many little bs things that happened that Bengals game,
- 43:33Speaker 2: like they had a touchdown taken away and they had
- 43:35Speaker 2: settle for a field goal from I think the three
- 43:37Speaker 2: or the four, and there's just a ut of things run.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Simon's biggest luck rankings differential this week are the Rams
- 43:45Speaker 1: and the Colts, with the Rams being the side do
- 43:47Speaker 1: you want to bet?
- 43:49Speaker 2: And that makes sense because I felt like the Colts
- 43:52Speaker 2: were the luckiest team in all football last week against
- 43:54Speaker 2: that Ravens team, Like every little thing that went right
- 43:56Speaker 2: went right their way. So yeah, yeah, like I said
- 44:00Speaker 2: on Tuesday, I love the Rams. I love them again here.
- 44:02Speaker 2: It's just they're going to just keep being undervalued by
- 44:05Speaker 2: the books, like they just the public does not respect
- 44:07Speaker 2: this team. They just don't respect Stafford. It's just the
- 44:12Speaker 2: way it is for this Rams team. So ye, if
- 44:15Speaker 2: they can win this game and then get Cooper Cup
- 44:17Speaker 2: next week and be two and two, that they're a
- 44:21Speaker 2: sneaky team, like we talked about all summer, they're a
- 44:23Speaker 2: sneaky team to win this division. Like the forty nine
- 44:25Speaker 2: ers are great. We saw the forty nine Ers did
- 44:27Speaker 2: struggle with this Rams team until that fourth quarter, right,
- 44:30Speaker 2: I think it was a twenty three to twenty game
- 44:33Speaker 2: head into the fourth and then they got the touchdown
- 44:36Speaker 2: and whatever happened. We got that late field goal give
- 44:39Speaker 2: us to cover with the Rams. But the Rams just
- 44:41Speaker 2: aren't as bad as the public received. So I love
- 44:44Speaker 2: this spot for a letdown spot for the Colts, that
- 44:47Speaker 2: bounce back spot for a Rams team that I just
- 44:49Speaker 2: think they got unlucky against that Bengals team. So it
- 44:52Speaker 2: feels good to know the luck rankings are on this
- 44:53Speaker 2: one because we talk all the time. People can hate
- 44:56Speaker 2: on the luck rankings. It works, it's profitable. We've been
- 44:59Speaker 2: bending now for over two years and it's still turning
- 45:02Speaker 2: our profit. The books haven't caught up to it. So yeah,
- 45:05Speaker 2: we looked like idiots last week with the Broncos. That
- 45:08Speaker 2: was a one off, Like, don't don't overreact to that.
- 45:10Speaker 2: This is the biggest luck discrepancy. I already love the Rams.
- 45:14Speaker 2: How do we not take this one?
- 45:15Speaker 1: There are places right now where you can still get
- 45:17Speaker 1: the Rams as a short dog. The minus a half
- 45:22Speaker 1: doesn't really bother me, so I'd be comfortable putting them in.
- 45:28Speaker 1: But you and I might have to have a conversation
- 45:30Speaker 1: after the show. Are we gonna lock in? Because there's
- 45:33Speaker 1: four that we like right now, and I think the
- 45:35Speaker 1: lines on all of them are are iffy. That's fair,
- 45:39Speaker 1: so we will talk about that. Simon. I'm gonna ask
- 45:42Speaker 1: you a question right now. Can you name the fastest
- 45:44Speaker 1: growing ticketing app in the United States?
- 45:47Speaker 2: Game Time?
- 45:48Speaker 1: Game Time. I love game Time for two reasons. One,
- 45:51Speaker 1: they sponsor this show. Two, I actually use game Time
- 45:54Speaker 1: to buy tickets. They've got amazing last minute deals on
- 45:57Speaker 1: all sorts of tickets, including pro and college football games.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I'm actually going to open game Time
- 46:04Speaker 1: from my house right here in Connecticut. I can go
- 46:09Speaker 1: to the New York Jets game on Sunday night against
- 46:10Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, and maybe Taylor Swift will be
- 46:13Speaker 1: in the house and I can get in for less
- 46:16Speaker 1: than one hundred and thirty bucks. Also, it's a beautiful
- 46:19Speaker 1: night here on the East Coast, I can go see
- 46:20Speaker 1: the New York Mets for six bucks. It's amazing.

- 47:05Speaker 1: found in this episode's description. Do you want a leg
- 47:09Speaker 1: up in the contest? Also, some listeners have reached out
- 47:12Speaker 1: regarding our NFC West preview episode from the summer. Does
- 47:17Speaker 1: Simons still think the Seahawks have arguably the best wide
- 47:21Speaker 1: receiver trio in NFL history.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Through three weeks? I would say no, that hasn't lived
- 47:29Speaker 2: up to the hype yet this point.

- 50:03Speaker 2: We got lucky last week. We just went chalk took
- 50:06Speaker 2: the Chiefs, never a doubt. Let's do the same this week.
- 50:10Speaker 2: Let everyone else sweat it out. I try to forgeret
- 50:11Speaker 2: who they're going to take. Let's just take the forty
- 50:13Speaker 2: nine ers. Yeah, there's no way they lose Arizona, and
- 50:16Speaker 2: this feels like their easiest game of the season at
- 50:18Speaker 2: home against the Cardinals after the Cardinals just won. Give
- 50:22Speaker 2: it to me.
- 50:23Speaker 1: Listen, I'm just waiting for this line to dip under
- 50:26Speaker 1: under fourteen so I can take it at thirteen and
- 50:28Speaker 1: a half.
- 50:28Speaker 2: That's fair. So I know people like to hear a
- 50:30Speaker 2: number two. I'd go Eagles we gave that hurt stat like,
- 50:35Speaker 2: I keep saving the Eagles because I really want to
- 50:36Speaker 2: use them when I have to, But for some reason,
- 50:38Speaker 2: you already took the forty nine ers. Go ahead and
- 50:41Speaker 2: use the Eagles, but the forty nine ers have to
- 50:43Speaker 2: be the play This week, as a.

- 51:39Speaker 1: the engine behind the stats and the nuggets you hear
- 51:41Speaker 1: on the show and across our network, you get the
- 51:44Speaker 1: last word. Evan, what is the last word?
- 51:47Speaker 3: So? I felt like I was way too mean last week,
- 51:50Speaker 3: So these are going to be a little bit more
- 51:51Speaker 3: in your favor, feel like, and I've been doing it
- 51:53Speaker 3: throughout the show. I was a little bit negative, so
- 51:55Speaker 3: it's time to get a little positive. But we have
- 51:57Speaker 3: to talk about the Dolphins. Going into this. Understand that,
- 52:01Speaker 3: like most league wide trends, when you talk about the
- 52:04Speaker 3: Dolphins are going to tell you that they can't keep
- 52:05Speaker 3: this up.
- 52:06Speaker 2: So this is kind of the theme.
- 52:07Speaker 3: So Dolphins are the twelfth team in the last twenty
- 52:09Speaker 3: years to be three oh straight up and against the
- 52:12Speaker 3: spread and be listed as an underdog in their fourth game.
- 52:15Speaker 3: Those previous eleven teams went two to nine straight up
- 52:18Speaker 3: and three and eight against the spread in that next game,
- 52:20Speaker 3: So basically telling you coming back to the mean, and
- 52:23Speaker 3: that tells you a little bit more towards this next one.
- 52:26Speaker 3: So this is pretty crazy. The Dolphins are averaging an
- 52:30Speaker 3: absurd eight point four yards per play this year. That
- 52:33Speaker 3: is the most through three games all time, second most
- 52:36Speaker 3: the Greatest Show on Turf in two thousand and eight
- 52:39Speaker 3: point one. So that's kind of where we are. And
- 52:41Speaker 3: usually these early high power offenses come back to reality.
- 52:46Speaker 3: Teams to average six yards per play or more going
- 52:50Speaker 3: into their fourth game thirty five, fifty six and one
- 52:54Speaker 3: thirty eight percent since twenty nineteen, so recently we've seen
- 52:57Speaker 3: more offense. Obviously this comes into play. So those are
- 53:01Speaker 3: your two dolphin stats that basically hopes that the Bills
- 53:03Speaker 3: cover the game. And I have the money line, so
- 53:05Speaker 3: let's go Bills next. This is just a fun one
- 53:09Speaker 3: and this probably doesn't have a ton of you know,
- 53:12Speaker 3: backup to it, but the Steelers are coming off of
- 53:14Speaker 3: road game in Vegas. Teams after playing the Raiders on
- 53:17Speaker 3: the road since they moved to Las Vegas are just
- 53:20Speaker 3: nine and seventeen against the spread. That's a third worst
- 53:23Speaker 3: mark of any team in the NFL. And when that
- 53:25Speaker 3: team goes from Vegas to another road game, one in
- 53:28Speaker 3: seven against the spread. So not great success but probably
- 53:33Speaker 3: more just a fun trend.
- 53:34Speaker 1: And that those Texans. Baby, Yeah, I was.
- 53:36Speaker 3: Gonna say this is a Texans podcast Chad, so I
- 53:38Speaker 3: had to go there. And then lastly, I've said this
- 53:41Speaker 3: one before, but it's worth repeating. Teams to score three
- 53:43Speaker 3: points or less the previous week sixty five forty two
- 53:47Speaker 3: and fours. That's sixty percent since twenty fifteen when those
- 53:51Speaker 3: are when they are dogs. In the next week, that
- 53:54Speaker 3: goes to forty four to twenty four and two, sixty
- 53:56Speaker 3: five percent. That is the Titans, that is the Commanders.
- 54:00Speaker 3: So this is, you know, going with the podcast this week,
- 54:02Speaker 3: just trying to help out.
- 54:04Speaker 1: You're a class act, Evan. You know what, I don't
