• 0:21
  Speaker 1: week four full breakdown preview our five official plays a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: lot of bickering to come In our future, John Yastrzemski
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: joining us today as our special guest analyst. My card
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is full. I'm way too confident in my personal slate
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this week. What could go wrong? How you feeling, Middleton?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling pretty okay. Better than I should, considering the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: season that I have had so far.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It is amazing how, and then this could be the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: factor of two halves of a whole idiot on this show,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: is that how is it that we are showing up
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in week four feeling confident? I don't get it. I
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: don't know if that speaks to positively to us or negatively. Well,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out based on how week four goes.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Let's ride three and two last week in the contest.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So things are trending in the right direction. I am
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in recovery mode over here after getting my vasectomy that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I was putting off for way too long.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And I'll ask you to save a sect of me.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Is there a better way to how are you supposed.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: To say you say the sect to me? And I
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: just say that to me.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You say tomato. I say tomato. I will tell you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that for the fellas out there that are listening or
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: watching this that are wondering, what is that like? Not
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as bad as you think. I wouldn't call it pleasant.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: They will prescribe you a Valium to take before. Ask
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for two. That would be my recommendation to you. Miraculously.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I won't get into what I want to say. Just
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: know that I have things that I want to say.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: We know. We all know. Miraculously, Joey Porter Jr. is
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: all healed. Porter was sent from the Steelers to the Cowboys,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: ending a lengthy and contentious holdout. And the Cowboys get
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: someone who can stop an opposing offense from perhaps driving
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the length of the field in six seconds. So big
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: deal for Big D.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I think the media is going to make a bigger
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: deal out of it than they should just because of
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the two franchises. But I don't think it really immediately
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: is going to do that much for the Cowboys. Do
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I think that it makes them a little bit better
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and gives them some depth?
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But the division's not as good as people thought.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's not really that big of a needle mover for me.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's more so just the thing that I
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: find funny is his back is all of a sudden better.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It took no time at all. Found the, uh, maybe
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they found Dr. Chow. It's funny how Dallas is becoming
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the land of misfit Steeler toys as well. He's not
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: going to join George Pickens over there. And there is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: reportedly a chance because of what Kendra mentioned with the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: miracle back recovery, uh, that Joey Porter Jr. could be
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: out there against the Texans. Do the Cowboys and the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Texans make it into the contest? We will find out.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Still to come, a word from the doc, Dr. David Chow.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Five contest plays fought over tooth and nail and some
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Evan Abrams trends along the way. But first, a check
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in on the kingdom that brings us all the betting goodies, DraftKings.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Dr.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: David Chow joins us from sixscore.com, our go-to source for
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: injury news, information, and pricing. Doc, I got a personal
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: question to start with before we get to the injuries.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So I just recently went under the knife and got
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a vasectomy a couple of days ago. And I feel
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like I'm recovering well, but I don't know if as
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: my medical, my go-to medical professional, you're basically my primary
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: doctor at this point. Do you have any advice on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: On when I can kind of like get back to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: normal activities, should I still be icing it a couple
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of days in? I'm just, I'm a little confused. I'm
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: lost on some details.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of ways that I could take this.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I'm buying some time to say A, no, B, no, C, no. Okay,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: let's start with D, innocuous. You're a little bit mistimed,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: my friend. You do realize the number one day to
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: get a vasectomy is right at March Madness with all
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: the games Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. That literally is the
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: number one day to get a vasectomy. So you're a
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: little mistimed on your time.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Now, listen, I was trying to go just like we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: do in the betting market, Doc. I'm trying to go
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: off the beaten path a little bit. That's such a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: cliche day to do it. I... targeted the start of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the major league baseball post-season where we have games starting
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: at 2 p.m. Eastern that go clean through the night
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and then every day. So I've targeted the baseball playoffs.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: And I guess this is what I can say. I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: orthopedic surgeon. I don't do vasectomies. I'm not up on
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: the latest, but the technology and recovery is always evolving.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Like in the beginning for concussions, it was sit in
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: a cool, dark room and don't use your mind. Now
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: the treatment for concussions is to go ahead and use
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: your mind to exercise it, you know, et cetera, to
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: stimulate it in some way, shape or form. So take
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: from that what you will. There may be altering treatments
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: in terms of vasectomies and what you should tell your wife.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I will take that under advisement. Uh, onto more pertinent news.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It looks like Puka Nakua is expected to play for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Rams. Is he going to be slowed by this
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: hip or is this a full go for the Rams stud?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And we shouldn't even worry about it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Well, look, if he's on your fantasy team, you have
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: to play Puka, right? He's playing like last week, Brock Bowers.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: He may not have been a hundred percent, but you
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: have to play him. He's back and he had a
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: great game. Now, as far as Puka is concerned, though,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know that he's 100%. It seems like he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: got a core muscle injury. And what we have to
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: look for is how explosive he is in and out
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: of breaks. The good news is he's a big body,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: talented receiver. He doesn't rely on straight, pure speed separation.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: It's a combination of things that makes him great. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: I think he still could be effective, but I don't
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: think he's 100%.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about some of these quarterback injuries.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Drake May coming out of nowhere after having an absolute
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: shit game against Jacksonville saying, oh, my shoulder's injured. What
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: do you think about Drake May before we get into
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: some of these other quarterback injuries as well?
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting. And look, I've never met Drake May,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: but like. New England fans hated me ahead of the
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl because I broke the news that his right
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: shoulder was injured. Now, isn't it ironic? They actually love
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: me now. No, Drake Bay's injured. This is why he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: not 100% and not doing well. Where is the truth?
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Always somewhere in the middle. The injury he suffered before
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: the Super Bowl should be healed by now. Maybe there's
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: an aggravation. I don't know. Look, he was listed for
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: the first time in the injury report, but full practice.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: So they're saying not a lot to see here. There's
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: usually more to the story. Like, You know, even like
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: the story about blood on the football and that's why
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: it slipped out of my hand. I don't know that
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: I buy that for this reason. Look, was there maybe
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Vaseline on the football because the athletic trainer tried to
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: stop bleeding from the center with Vaseline and Vaseline got
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: it and made it slippery? Maybe. OK, but purely blood. And,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: you know, I do surgery, orthopedic surgery. I can tell
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: you blood is tackier than water.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: And so if you can hold a sweat dripped, moist football,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: you should be able to hold blood on a football.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: But I don't know what that situation was. The bottom
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: line is the decision making isn't the shoulder. Maybe there's
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: something in the shoulder they haven't.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Told us about.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: They put them on the injury report, but that can't
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: be the whole explanation.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the word going around is labrum. Would that be
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: something that with rest in the offseason would be pretty
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: much better by now, or is it something that can
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: pop back up?
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Labrum can be lingering. Now, the AC joint that we
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: saw against the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: should be better. If there is a labral issue, that
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: is something to be of concern. We haven't specifically seen
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: that on video, but we wouldn't necessarily know that But
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: that is something that could be a big deal for
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: a quarterback.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about Lamar Jackson because it is, you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: people are assuming that he's going to play even though
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: he's had this back injury pop up. The way he
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: was celebrating after that kick didn't look like he had
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: a back injury to me. What do you think about
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: him popping up on the injury report?
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: I think it's been routine to have Lamar Jackson on
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: the injury report. And this is not a shot at
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson. Go back and look at the injury reports
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: last season and John Harbaugh's last year. Remember all the
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: controversy in the year? He basically never practiced on Wednesdays. Admittedly,
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: that was later in the season than this, and it
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: was back. It was knee. It was ankle. It was
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: roving around. And so I'm not particularly worried based off
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: of any video that we saw. Maybe his back was
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: sore from the plane ride back from Brazil. I don't know, right?
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: The bottom line is I'm not worried about that one.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I'm way more worried about their center situation, right? Center
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: number one and two, both on injury reserve. So they're
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: on center three, but it looks like they're short guards,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: but they're going to slide a guard in at center. And,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: you know, if the center is very key, obviously on
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: line protection calls. So that's going to be something to watch.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Much bigger worry there than Lamar.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Last but not least from me, talk me through this
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield injury. The screams that you allegedly could hear
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: coming out of him do not sound good.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: What is his recovery expectation from you?
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Well, look, I think all of us, it hurts when
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: you jam your thumb. He dislocated his thumb. I don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: begrudge him if he screamed.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, no, absolutely not.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: If anything, it'd be weird if he didn't, right? Especially
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: it was fourth down, the game was over. So it's
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: not like you're trying to, I'm a good leader and try,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: you know, look, the game's over. So let's, do react
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: and do what you want dislocated a thumb here. Let
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: me give you the good news and bad news. Certainly
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: you it's never good to dislocate your thumb. They're trying
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: to say there were no ligaments or tendons torn. That's
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: what the report is. I call BS on that. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: don't expect any tendons torn, but ligaments, depending on what
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: you call, you can't dislocate any joint without tearing, injuring ligaments.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: If they're calling ligaments a sprain instead of a tear,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: a grade three sprain, okay. I think what they mean
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: is no ligaments or tendons torn that need surgery.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: But there's instability of the joint. And obviously you need
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: to grip to be able to spin it. So he's out.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: The good news is because there's nothing that needs surgery,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to avoid injured reserve. And you
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: probably want to anyways, because he's your quarterback. You want
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: to keep him alive, but you know, not playing this week.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: It's Jalen Daniels, not J Jalen Daniels playing this week
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: for the Buccaneers. And, uh, you know, Baker has always
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: recovered quickly from injury. It wouldn't shock me. If he
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: tried to play the following week in week five, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: remember him playing through a shoulder dislocation on his non
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: throwing shoulder, not missing any time. Baker's always been a gamer,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: so we'll see.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And a play extender, like you talked about last week.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'm watching him run around on that fourth down.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: And there you go, another injury from extending plays. But
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I don't blame him on that one. That was fourth down,
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: end of the game. You got to try and do something, right?
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's the ones where you get hurt on
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: first and second down. I'm like, ah, you know, maybe
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: you got to live to fight another day.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Doc, let's wrap with this. I want to do something
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: different with you. And maybe this is something that we
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: do every week as a way to help us in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the handicapping process. Can you rank the it doesn't have
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to necessarily be in order, but give us the top
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: five injured units in the NFL right now. I'm talking
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: full position groups could be quarterback Rams wide receivers, for instance,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Lions offensive line. Panthers secondary. Give us the top five
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of injured units that we need to be concerned about
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: heading into week four.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Well, there's no question that you mentioned the Panthers. That
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: is one of the new ones, right? Because both cornerbacks
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: are injured. That is the new one. But they play
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: a team that has chronic secondary injuries this whole season
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Detroit Lions so is there an over to be played
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: there I get it outdoors etc Detroit has a powerful
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: offense Carolina does have some wide receiver issues but Detroit's
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: secondary score is very low at 41.4 one of the
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: lowest out there another one that I'll call out for
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: you is we've been saying all season long and it
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: got worse We've been up units with our profitable NFL
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: season guarantee up, I think, 20-some units. And part of
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: it is in week one, we said Green Bay's injured.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Some of it was their offensive line. Their offensive line's
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: gotten more injured. We took the Jets, and they covered
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: week two. Then the world saw in week three, maybe
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Green Bay is not so good anymore with Atlanta, but
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: their O-line score is 55.8, very low. The Chargers... 58.9.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Started the season injured at center and has not helped.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's why Mike McDaniel run game can't get going. Look,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: one of our easiest wagers at halftime was, look, we
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: do injuries, but we know the Chargers were injured. We
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: knew it didn't change. The run game didn't wake up
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: in the first half. The score was 10-10 based on
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: three turnovers, plus three turnovers. What do you think is
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: going to happen in the second half? You're plus three
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: on turnovers in the first half, haven't been able to
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: run the ball, and the score is 10-10? I mean,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: they were plus four on the game. That's like a 99% win,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: much less not, you know, Buffalo covered.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Last weekend. Don't remind me, Doc.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: And Washington's been injured all season. O-line especially. It's not
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: just Jaden Daniels with the elbow. That's another one that's
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: out there. And the biggest one that everyone knows about
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: is San Francisco's D-line. Look, we can't get any more
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: bad news on San Francisco's D-line. Because everyone they had
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: is out. So the only news we're getting is new
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: signings or someone coming back. And theirs is very low
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: at 44.8. But they've been winning despite that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have. They have been quite good. Sick Premium

  Speaker 1: little sleep. and all fumes, coffee, and energy. How you doing, John?
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Gang, it's a pleasure to be back.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Yes, Brandon and Kendra, I am in a glorious, glorious
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: mood today because the Yankees took care of the Red
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Sox in two games, my Yankees in two caches, it's
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Boston tears, order, and the rivalry is finally being restored
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: thanks to Cam Schlotler and Ben Rice. And the good
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: news for you guys is that I was not on
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: the favorites pod in week three because.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Not a kind Sunday to me other than Kendra's Jacksonville
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Jaguars who took care of business. And I felt great
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: about that pick. And the Broncos ended up being a winner.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: But I'm still crying about the Saints meltdown. And don't
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: get me started on those loser, fraud, gutless Los Angeles Chargers.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, John.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was one of the most torturous non-covers of
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: my entire life. I was on the Chargers. We were
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: collectively on the Chargers.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: No, I was not on the Chargers.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I just mean as the contest. If we have it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in the contest, we're in it together whether you like
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it or not.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: You're a team player at that point. You could have vetoed.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I do agree that it was a team play, but
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I wanted it to be wrong.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry because Gifford fucked up so bad.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He did. So last week.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I wanted to have this over Gifford. I'm sorry.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I will take a loss for the team to be
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: able to give Gifford shit about this.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I need context on this.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: How did Gifford drop the ball? We had the chargers
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: plus seven and a half was one of my personal
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: best bets of last week. As far as the contest goes,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it was an alternate play. We had five others that
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: collectively we liked better, but one of them was the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Falcons plus the points on Thursday night football. Gifford got
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: so busy on Thursday. He forgot to submit our plays
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: until that night. So we didn't get to cash that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in the contest and, And we had to replace it
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: with the Chargers plus seven and a half.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: That was the most inevitable outcome possible. In fact, I
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: wish I knew that was the swap because I think
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: my confidence and my feeling on that Charger game might
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: have been drastically different because.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: That's always the way it goes.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Because Gifford's such a dick sometimes that I'm like, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: need to take my shots where I can get them.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: You need material. I get it. We all need material
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: in life, Kendra. I understand. I understand.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: But you're right. What is it about?
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not feeling good about it, though.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: What is it about the gambling universe that made that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: particular situation? If there's a bet that you like, you
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: forget to place it. If there's a contest you're in,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you want to slide one in, but you get to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the site too late. It's the biggest lock in the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: universe that that bet that you don't make that you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: want to make cashes. It's like the hit rate is
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: like 99.9%.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: So from like a contest perspective, totally fair.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Now, gang, my counter to this would be like if
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: it's your own personal account and accord.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: You can't always go and bet a game live.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Like if you oversleep and you forget to go and
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: bet the London game or whatever, or maybe you're running around,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: you're at dinner, you're at the gym.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Oh crap.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: This game starts at seven.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: It starts at eight o'clock. The live line on, on
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: any of these sports books, they'll take care of you.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Don't forget about that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I like that. That's a great gambling advice, John. Let's just,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: let's just live. Let's just chase the live bet. Always.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Always and forever.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Just pick something already.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: If you don't like it you can just veto it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: all right let's get to it reminder we have five
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: picks to make for the contest to be cemented here
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: i will nominate a pair as we go through kendra
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: will nominate a pair and jj will put the icing
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: on the cake he gets one of our five plays
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and we all have vetoes that we can use throughout
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: let's start With Thursday night football Steelers Browns Browns two
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and a half point dogs total sitting at 38 and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a half. Don't look now folks with the entire AFC
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: North is two and one, which means the winner of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: this game is going to be sitting in first place,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: at least temporarily. Rogers looked as crisp as we have
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: seen him since he put on a Steelers uniform against Cincinnati.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: The question is, is it repeatable tonight? Kendra also fun
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: fact tonight is rock and roll night in Cleveland.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Rock and roll night in Cleveland. What does that mean?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It's like their theme. That's what they're doing. They're doing,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: they have like, uh, rock and roll performances. They're probably
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: bringing out like the stones.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: There's going to be some, there's some boomer acts that
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: are probably doing the national anthem and halftime, something like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I think that this is like the most mid.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Quarterback battle we're going to have all week, but I
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: guess it depends on who you trust more. And for me,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: that feels like putting a gun to my head. I
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: have absolutely no care in the world about this game.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I can't believe that this is what we're getting. I
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: just can't pick a quarterback. And that's, I think my problem.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I have a problem with this game too.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Do we believe in the Browns? I mean, I know
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: That's exactly my point, Kendra.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: See, because I.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Do, but I'm the only person on this podcast who does.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: So I feel like I'm just talking out of my ass.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: So here's the problem. I like the Browns in this spot.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: The Browns have been spunky. Very spunky since they got
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: beat down by your Jaguars. Come back against the Buccaneers.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: Find a way to win at home against Carolina. All
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: of a sudden, the Browns fans that wanted Deshaun Watson
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: cut before week one.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Are chanting his name.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Actually, I mean, it just goes to show you, so
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: many games, everything changes. That's the way it works in sports.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I also fear this could be the sort of game
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: where I bet Cleveland plus two and a half, which
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: I will.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: And then I'm watching it saying, oh my goodness, I
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: just bet the Browns. Why did I do this? Why
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: did I do this? Why did I do this?
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: And, you know, normally Pittsburgh, Brennan, these spots, they're terrible.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Like the spot to take the.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Steelers was the last week when they're getting points, when
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: they're at home.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: For years, I used to call it the Mike Tomlin
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: rah-rah special.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: I feel like I'm going to have to rebrand that
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: now because he's now in the broadcast booth.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: But I like the home team. I like points. I'm
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: not laying points with the Steelers.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: The other thing here is, though, there's no way that
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the Steelers can do what they did last week again.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Like, there's just no way. That was their Super Bowl
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem with buying either of these teams
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: is that you're buying high on both of them. You know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the Panthers dealt with major injuries that we'll get to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: when we talk about the Panthers Lions game and then
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and melted down at the end of that game, a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: game that outside of a penalty on a fourth down,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they win that game against the Browns. The Browns end
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: up winning. The Steelers have a picture-perfect performance against a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: good team in Cincinnati. I don't want to buy high
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: on either of these teams. I like the under in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: this game. I want the under.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: It's a gross game. Why not?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Disgusting game. We have seen a total of 53 Thursday
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: night football games where the total is closed under 40,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: which we're at right now. The under in those games,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: 32 and 19, including 22 and 10 in the first
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: half since 2005. To me, let's go under.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe a Jalen Warren over on yards. If you like
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, they got to run the football tonight and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: we'll move the hell on. Well, the moral of.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: The story is we're not playing this in the contest.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Hell no. Correct. Thank you. Next, we go to London, England.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, fam. Washington put up points last
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: week against Seattle, which seemed impossible. Biggest upset of week three.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: They are now three and a half point underdogs. Indianapolis Colts,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: but this is not a home game for Washington. This
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: is a London game. The Colts secondary really struggled first
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: two weeks of the season, but they played Lamar and Patrick,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, CJ Stroud minus a Nico Collins got them
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: right back on track. London games are weird. Favorites typically
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: perform well in these spots. Kendra, I could be talked
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: into the other side though. I like what I'm seeing
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: with Marcus Mariota and and these scrappy commanders. So my
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: lean is towards commanders. I would not veto it if
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you throw it in there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely not. I want nothing to do with this.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I am the one on this show who has watched
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: more London games than anybody else. And the better team
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: usually wins these games. I know that you're getting the
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: three and a half, which is ideal if you want
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: to be on the commanders.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: But I don't believe in Marcus Mariota.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: The only thing about him is that he is so
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: senior to the game that he will probably take care
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: of the football. I was looking at some interception props
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: for him. It seems like the books kind of agree
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: with that. But the Colts are far and away the
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: better team here to talk about. Everybody wanting to buy
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: into these teams right now after the wins that they
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: had last week. I think you just got to steer
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: the course and do what's right. I do not want
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: this in the contest at all. I actually kind of
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: hate the London games for any kind of betting anything,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: but no way, no how, not me.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: So I'm in agreement.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: There's no way in the world this can be a
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: contest play because this game is absolutely gross. That said,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I'd go the other way here, Brandon.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: I actually think Indianapolis can build upon the momentum of
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: beating the Houston Texans and finding a way to win
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: that game.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: And you peel back the layers. Okay, they lost in week.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: One of the Ravens.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: I think we'd all agree the Ravens are probably going
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: to be one of the best teams in the league.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: And they went toe-to-toe with the Chiefs.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: You know, even though they ended up losing that game
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: and didn't necessarily trust Daniel Jones in the overtime, I
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: had Indianapolis that week two spot getting the points.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I thought they performed well.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: I think Washington, they had their moment against Seattle last week.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: You mentioned the idea of buying low or buying high
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: on a team. We're buying high on Washington. I think
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Indianapolis is just a much better roster. You're a team
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: that's going to contend for the playoffs. You're going to
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: win this game.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Three and a half, scary.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Not endorsing a contest play, but my lean is to
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: take the better team.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I'm on the Colts. Well, and that's where my pushback is.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the Colts are actually better. I think,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: if anything, these two teams are dead even, and we're
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: just getting three and a half, in my opinion, for
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: no good reason other than perception. Do you think.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Washington a little bit better and showed you some last week?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I just think they're the same. I mean, this is
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: not a play on Washington is a better football team.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It's that these two teams are equal equally. And I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: really can't figure out, I mean, the numbers that I produce,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned many times, not gospel, there's no difference
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: between these two football teams. So why am I getting
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: three points and a hook on a quarterback that clearly
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: keeps the offense on time and on schedule and doesn't
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over against the defense that, yes, they
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: looked impressive last week. CJ Stroud and that offense, David Montgomery,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: what a waste of money that's been. And if Nico
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Collins doesn't play, they just have no one Xavier. They're
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: asking way too much of Xavier Hutchinson in this offense. Also, Evan,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I want you to chime in on this because this
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: is a stat that we will probably layer in a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: couple of times. Teams starting their non week one starter
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: are six and O is that straight up or against
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the spread?
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: Believe that's straight up came from ESPN. I mean, What
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: I have is backup quarterbacks at five and two against
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: the spread this season, which is just fantastic in itself.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: And depending on the Chicago situation, I think you have
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: like three or four this week. So definitely something with that.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: There's also definitely something with like first start and second
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: start for backups. So I can look into a little
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: bit of data there, but it's definitely different.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: But there's no way that continues, right?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that I mean, it's definitely on too much of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a heater right now, but. Marcus Mariota is one of
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the better backups in the league.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: Does the Daniel Jones in primetime trend count for standalone games?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a good question.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Also, he did. I just want to be clear on this.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: He did cover a primetime game Sunday night, week two.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: That is true. He did win, but he covered. No
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: play favorites have excelled in international games, 42, 15 and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: one straight up and 35 and 23 against the spread.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: So you guys are right. The better team typically wins
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and covers, but I'm not sure that they are. Let's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: move on. 1 PM on Sunday, Patriots bills. This one's
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: kind of dancing around between six and a half and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: seven total sitting at 48 and a half. The bills
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: are one of five unbeaten teams heading into this week.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: The Patriots are, It looks like they haven't even started
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: their season yet. The Bills turned the ball over five
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: times in their last game. Josh Allen didn't throw a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass, and yet they still won and covered. I
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: know I don't need to remind you, John Yastrzemski. And
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the Patriots did nothing right against the Jags. This is
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: such an obvious buy low on the New England Patriots,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: but I have to stop betting against the Bills. So
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I can't do this. Somebody else is going to have
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to touch it. It's obviously a Pat spot, but I
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what we do with this.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I know it's very obviously a pad spot. Drake performs
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: really well against the bills in his career. But the
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: thing is, is that this.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Whole like shoulder injury, blood bull crap is going on.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Did he cry? Did he not cry?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Uh, the thing for me is that the bills receivers
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: are injured. Keon Coleman and DJ Moore are both questionable.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I have the Patriots in federal bet prison. So I
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: also can't do this, but I did bet the under and,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: and i also you could convince me into getting to
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: the window on one of the tight ends but i
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: have officially put in the under i don't the patriots
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: clearly can't score their offense is just in shambles and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: if drake really is hurt or making bad decisions you're
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: not gonna have a good a get right game against
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: an undefeated buffalo bills team like that's just not going
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: to happen and if you know josh allen is either
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: turning i think it's going to be a josh allen
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: get right game but i don't even think that that
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: matters yes they did win last week but he turned
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: the ball over he didn't throw a touchdown i think
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: he could absolutely do that against this team but even
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: if that is the case they're not going to score
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: that many points alone.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Guys there's no way in the world i'm betting the
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: patriots No.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Can't do it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: First of all, after having the Chargers last week and
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: watching how poorly Josh Allen played for two and a half,
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: three quarters, they still found a way to win. They
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: still found a way to cover. Kendra, you watched the
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Patriots last week. That team is a hot mess.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: They're a hot mess. The quarterback, his confidence is totally shook.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Uh Vrabel is not getting the same results out of
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: the defense they had no answers for Liam Cohen in that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Offense McDaniels dude yeah all.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Of a sudden Josh McDaniels who was the toast of
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: the town in New England uh feeling the tomatoes coming
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: at his face not ideal and from like everything about
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: the spot you guys are absolutely right screams hey let's
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: buy low on the Patriots let's grab six and a
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: half points They covered, they won outright in Buffalo a
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: year ago. That kind of jump-started their run to a
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl. The problem is Buffalo early on has looked
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: like a team on a mission. And if you think
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: about statement games, they did not win the AFC East
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: a year ago.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: The Patriots are down 10%. I think they're going to
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: kick them when they're down.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: I'm not playing this as a contest play because the
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: line is a little too ratty for my liking, but
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: you tell me right now, life on the line, I
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: have to go and take one of these two teams
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: that covered a number.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I'm taking the pills.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: I need to see it from the Patriots. I agree.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm with you. Drake may six INTs and it
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: just feels like all of them are ugly. Like these
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: are all a lot of them on him, a sub
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: 60 passing rate. That's just ahead of Cooper rush and
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. And the Bills' defense is not great. They're
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: most susceptible against the run. They allowed 131 yards to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the Chargers last week, who can't run the football. But
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the Patriots can't either. So I have to find some
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: form of a football reason to back a team, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I cannot get there on the Patriots. I will say
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: that if you're out there wanting to bet New England,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: do not buy six and a half. That seven is
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the seven. There could be a seven and a half
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that pops up. That's a key number. Do not bet
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: plus six and a half on the Patriots. And the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: bills in a teaser, not the worst idea either, but
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I've had the worst luck with teasers. So I'm on
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: a nice teaser hiatus. Let's go to the next game
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: on the card. We do not have a nomination yet.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Last week, it was like we're just ripping them off
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: out of the gate. We're slow playing it here. Titans
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Ravens Ravens laying 11 and a half at home total
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: at 42 and a half. I have a feeling this
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: one's not getting in there either. Cam Ward looks like
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. If you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: can't beat Jameis Winston and a Giants team that mustered
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: 12 whole points, what are we doing? I get this
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: as a fat number, but the Titans feel as untouchable
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: as the Patriots right now, which of course is right
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: around the time that a team usually covers. I cannot
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: do it. Kendra.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I just asked GIF for what the contest line is
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: for this because if it's 11 and a half, I'm
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: absolutely in on the Titans.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: If it's the eight and a half, absolutely not.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: This feels like just one of those games where the
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Titans are going to show up because one, the Ravens
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: are coming back from Rio and we know that I
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: love to handicap travel. That is something that is just
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: one of the best things to me in this is
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: looking at who's traveling and for how long. And that
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: is a long flight from Rio back to Baltimore. The
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: other thing here is the Ravens are so injured. Their
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: injury report sucks. Lamar popped up on it this week
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: as we talked to Dr.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Chow about.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Zay is on there. Trey Hendrickson's on there. Staley, questionable
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: It just feels like with the combination of travel and
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: them being injured and Lamar having a hard time covering
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: big numbers, I know that the Titans are ass, but
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: this feels like a large enough number.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: It is 11 and a half.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I feel like I kind of have to nominate the Titans,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: you guys.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Wow. And you know what, Kendra?
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: I'm not even going to push back on it. I
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: don't think it's crazy at all. How many times have
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: we witnessed these Lamar Baltimore teams playing with their food.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Early in the year? I mean, my goodness, we saw
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: them lose outright to the.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: New Orleans Saints. And I know New Orleans is much
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: better than Tennessee. Let me make that abundantly clear. But
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: like the Raiders a couple of years ago, like there
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: have been a laundry list of games where it's like, Oh,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: why are the Ravens only up by three with four
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: minutes to go or three minutes to go? And listen,
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: he's 0-3 teams. There's a case to be made. You
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: want to bet these 0-3 teams, right? Like, I feel
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: like nobody wants to get in front of them. You're
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: going to go and take Tennessee. I am not pushing
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: back on this.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I think Baltimore does what they need to do to
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: win this game by like seven to ten points. I
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: think it's a good pick.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Kravitz, I'm going to be nice to you this week.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I have so many spreads that I like that I
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: will let you tell me that you don't love this
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: if you like, but I do love this.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be very clear. I do not
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: love it. There is no love here, but I get it.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: The levels of love here.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I'll give you, I'll give you the, um, the positive spin.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: If the Titans cover this number, Look, it's, it's, we're
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: going past 10 in the NFL. It's hard to beat
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: teams by double digits, no matter who you are. Their
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: defense hasn't given up more than 24 points and they
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: held the giants, whatever, whatever that's worth to four of
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: 13 on third down 4.1 yards per play. They have
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a 14, their 14th and success rate on the season.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: The defense could keep them in it, but Lamar is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: playing like an MVP right now. Derek Henry going up
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: against his former team. And as Evan mentioned in our
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: chat behind the scenes here, the Titans are right now
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: rocking with the worst offensive line in football. That's why
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I don't love it. There are reasons, though, so I'm
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: not going to veto this. If you're adamant about it,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you let me fill out a five-play card last week
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: because you weren't feeling it. So I'm not going to
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: push back on this one too much. Titans plus 11
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and a half is in the contest.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Let's go, Kendra.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Unless you guys have something of mine that I'm going
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: to give you that you love more, we can keep
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: it there. But I'll let you guys have a little
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: bit more say this week just because I have so
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: many things to nominate.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Just know I will hold this over your head at
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, right now Titans plus 11 and a half is
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in there and we'll see if it stays within the contest.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: And it'd be the Falcons of last week. I would
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: never let it go. I would literally never let it go.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: No, those are the ones you never forget. Jets, Bears,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Bears laying three and a half total of 43 and
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a half. Jets facing their third straight NFC North team,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: which is sort of an oddity in the schedule. Case
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Keenum hadn't started a game since 2023. Didn't matter. He
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: was perfect on Monday Night Football. 27 points on offense
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: with points left on the table. Sorry to Gilles Gallant,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: who had the Colston Loveland anytime touchdown elbow down right
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: there on the inch line. The Jets defense was good
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: in weeks one and week two. Some of that competition
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: based Tennessee, Green Bay and all of that. But they
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: were coming off of an overtime game last week and
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: they still hung with Detroit. I was lucky to get
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that cover. I was on the lines at minus six
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and a half. I kind of like the Jets here. Kendra,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, so my thing is, I was doing some research
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: this morning about this. It seems like the Bears are
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: going to play Tyson Bajan and not Case Keenum, which
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I think is insane.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. I hope, you know what? As somebody
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: who has already bet the Jets plus three and a half,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I really hope that it's Bajan.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: If it's Tyson Bajan, I'm kind of in on the Jets.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: But if it's going to be Case Keenum, I'm not.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Guys, let's make it three for three. I'm on Jets.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: To Kravitz's point, the Jets were in a brutal spot
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: last week.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Listen, I got so much shit at the beginning of
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: the year for loving the Jets.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: You don't have to convince me to go for it.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: I came on the show and fought back. And listen,
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: I'm no Aaron Glenn fan. I still think he's one
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: of the worst coaches in the league. But they have
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: significantly upgraded their talent. I mean, offensively speaking, I know
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: it's iffy if Brees Hall is going to give it
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: a go.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: They can replace him with Braylon Allen. Garrett Wilson was
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: a monster. Oh, my goodness.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: He made some unbelievable catches in that line game. Kenyon Sadiq,
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: the tight end out of Oregon, had a really nice performance.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: I like the passing game for the Jets. I'm getting
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: three and a half. The only thing that scares me here,
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: it could be a massive coaching mismatch with Ben Johnson
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: against Aaron Glenn. And remember, those guys know each other very,
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: very well from their Detroit tenure.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Kendrick, spot on. How do you not point Keenum in
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: this game? He's perfect. He's unbelievable. They're moving the ball
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: great against a really good Eagle defense. How is he
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: not the starter this week?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Can I pee on your campfire a little bit?
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. Why not?
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: The only thing, I am all down with the Jets. However,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I am going to.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Throw, I personally have already placed this, but I'm going
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: to throw Geno Smith to throw a pick out there.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I know that it's minus 140, but the thing is,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: is that he hasn't thrown a pick all season.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's so due. If you're going to tell me.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: The Jets have been due to get an interception for
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: almost two years and we're still waiting.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: So, I mean.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: If you can't tell me that Geno Smith is like
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: going to You can't... He's four weeks into the season
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: and he's not going to throw a pick.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Geno Smith, are you serious? There's no way.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing is the one thing the Bears
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: can do on defense is they'll snatch it from you.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to go Geno Smith for an interception.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I'm tailing that bet. I like that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bears do like their turnovers.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: He's doing man.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: This to me is as much about fading a public
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: darling after a win in an isolation primetime game against
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: a perceived elite opponent. It wasn't just the Bears looking
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: great in front of America with a backup quarterback. It's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: that they did it against the Eagles as well. And
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's part of what makes this an investment.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, 67% against the spread as the head coach
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bears. The guy does cover spreads, but
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the Bears are just one in four straight up the
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: week after playing in primetime. We're seeing the public get
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: absolutely crushed this year. 58% of the bets on the
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. It is time to fade Chicago, no matter
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: who is their starting quarterback. We like the Jets. plus
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: three and a half. That is in the contest as well.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Let's move to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Bengals laying two and a half total sky high, 51
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: and a half. This is the game of the week. Two,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: two and one teams elite. If I can be a
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: complete casual for a moment, this is the color contrast
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: game of the week. We've got that nice, that nice
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: teal against a nice bright orange elite stuff on the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: TV screen. two former number one picks at quarterback. We've
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: got Travis Hunter potentially matched up with Jamar chase Kendra.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I love this game. This game is fascinating. I have
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: already bet this on one side. I will wait to
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: reveal that to see if anybody else is with me
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: before making my case.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: I'm going to veto it because I don't even care
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: because you want to know the only AFC team that
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence has never beaten.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Well, Spoiler alert, the Bengals.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: That would be the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I want absolutely nothing to do with this game. For
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: some reason, it is a hump that Trevor Lawrence cannot
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: get over, even with a backup quarterback, as we witnessed
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about the magic voodoo
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: of this team. He can't beat them. I don't want
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: anything to do with it.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Cincinnati here.
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to nominate it because I don't want
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: to have to deal with one of our esteemed hosts
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: giving me crap for the next.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: Three days or four days if Jacksonville actually goes and
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: wins this game.
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: I just think it's a good spot to get in
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: on Cincinnati after a tough loss in Pittsburgh.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: They've looked pretty sound at home. Burrow still humming on offense.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: Like I know they ended up losing that game and
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: it got wonky in the fourth quarter and they had
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: no answers for Rodgers. That to me was such a
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: great stealer spot. I'm not going to crabby read too
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: much into Cincinnati, who I'm still very, very much a
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: believer in throughout the course this year. I think both these.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Teams are going to the playoffs for what it's worth.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I'm on Cincinnati. Big day for Burrow.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: Let me see Campanelli's blitzing defense have answers for Chase, Higgins, etc.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: I'm on Cincinnati lane two and a half. Sorry, Kendra.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So I like the Jags plus the two and a
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: half here, and I'll make my case for it. It
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: sounds like it's not going to make it to the
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: finish line here, but kind of like the Colts and
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the Commanders, but an enhanced elite version. I think these
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: two teams are.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Almost the same. I would put the Jags a slight
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: tick ahead, which makes the home field advantage. Essentially, I
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: think this game should be a pick as well. And
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I get that we're selling our Pat stock right now,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: but their defense had a really strong start to the season.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Elite levels of strong through the first two weeks. And
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the Jags went through them like a knife through butter.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Not every game a team plays or wins ups their
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: overall rating. That win last week for the Jags absolutely does.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And I think that this line is under-adjusted and under-accounting
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: for the fact that in a sea of decent teams
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, the Jags are near elite. The look
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: ahead on this line was exactly what it is right
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: now at two and a half. I think that the
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Jags are worth an adjustment. Basil Tootin has to have
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a good game. Jalen Warren really opened things up for
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But I think Trevor Lawrence can have a
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: really good game against this defense that, through the first
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, clearly overperformed. And Joe Burrow, not a
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: sure thing after a win. This is an Evan Abrams
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: trend stat. 12 games at home off of a straight-up loss.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: 5-6-1 against the spread in the very next game.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: Not great. Good news for Kendra and her Jaguars.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Kendra.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: No, no, you first.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: I just think, too, to push back a little bit,
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not like selling Bengals stock after last week.
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: That's a division game. That's a tough spot after the
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Steelers got embarrassed. They did come back against Pittsburgh. I
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: know Rodgers torched them, and now the narratives are Cincinnati's defense.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: It's exactly what we thought it was. Same old Bengals.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: And the Jaguars, I just feel like it's a zigzag
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: type of game. Crappy.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: That's why I think Cincinnati at home, I think, is
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: a good bounce back candidate.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I try not to just fall into the zigzag trap
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: because it's so easy to do that in the NFL.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes teams just simply go on heaters and I don't
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: think the market has completely caught up. to just how
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: good this Jacksonville Jaguars team is. The game in Denver
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: was a tough spot for them. They played well in
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: So that's a great point.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And they did.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: They played really well.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: I had Denver in that game. They played their asses
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: off in that game. Little missed a kick. A couple
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: of things went against them.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: That was not one of those games where I watched
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: them and said, oh boy, this is, they're not, like,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: that was a good, if there's such thing as a
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: good loss, it was like a good competitive.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Loss, if that makes sense. Yeah, they had a 10-point
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: lead at one point.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Can I sweeten the deal for everyone? Always.
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: Always.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: I think that the best play in this game is
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Josh Cameron for an anytime touchdown plus 750.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: If there were reception props available for him, I would
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: smash the over on them. I can't find any. If
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: you do, please hit me up. I would love to
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: find one. But he is the sneakiest guy on this
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: offense right now. He's getting all of BTJ's reps pretty much.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Trevor trusts him, doesn't trust BTJ. So any of those
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: shots that he was going to get in the end zone,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Josh Cameron eats up.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Before people figure him out to defenses, you know, people
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: betting all of those things, get in on the Josh
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Cameron stock while you can.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: And while it's still there, because people are starting to.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Figure out Parker Washington, Jacoby can't have another good week
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: after having a week like last week, you have to
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: respect him as well. I don't think people respect BTJ anymore.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: So they're going to have to move all their coverage
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: to those two guys that frees up Josh Cameron. I
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: don't think that the tight end, you know, heavy sets
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: are as popular with Liam Cohen in that offense right
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: now as they were last season.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: So get in on Josh while you can.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I don't push back on Kendra giving out Jags anytime touchdown.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: So it's just not a world that you want to
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: live in. I love it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Throwing in the parlay on Sunday.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, man.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: All right. I'm not going to officially nominate this because
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: it sounds like it's going to get vetoed. And I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: have other picks that are way more gross than the Jags.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Let's get across. The Jags are lovely.
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the Cowboys and the Texans. Texans laying
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: three at home in the battle for the Lone Star State.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Owen three start for the Texans. No problem for them.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: The last two teams to make the playoffs at Owen
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: three were the Houston Texans. So I guess they're kind
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: of right on track with what they typically do. Cowboys
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: flying back from Brazil. So maybe we've got another travel
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: fade spot here with Dallas. The Cowboys did just make
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: a trade for Joey Porter Jr. Who miraculously is going
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: to be healthy enough to play in this game. It
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: looks like we don't know that for sure yet. Questionable
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: defense versus a suspect offense. This is a really tough
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: one to pick here, folks.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, I am going to nominate, I kind of gave
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: a spoiler in our notes, but I'm going to nominate
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Houston only because I have to say they can't go 0-4,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: but this is a bet IR opportunity if they don't
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: cover this game. I once again, I'm fading the travel. I,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: or I'm betting against the travel. I just can't assume
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: that anybody after.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Traveling that long.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: And you know what, can we talk about how this
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: is low-key sneaky, a rivalry like this, like the Texas
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: thing is weird. Like this is kind of a rivalry game.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Like I know that one's NFC and one's AFC, but
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: like Texans low-key kind of hate each other.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Well, cause there's a little bit of like an inferiority
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: thing for the Texans because you know, the Cowboys are
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: America's team. The Cowboys were there first. We lost the Oilers. Now,
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, we have an expansion team. I'm
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: with that. And here's the problem, guys. I bet the Texans. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Kendra, I think you're spot on. I like the Texans
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: in the game. Like, if you're telling me right now,
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: I got to bet the game. I think Houston's defense
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: at home. Are they going to start 0-3 at home?
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: Are the Cowboys going to be able to block them?
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: I have a lot of questions. But here's the issue, Krabby.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: You hit on it, and that's why I'm kind of
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: teeing you up this way. Their offense, without Nico Collins...
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: is that as the kids like to say, Basura, it
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: is absolutely atrocious.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: It was atrocious against Indy last week. They couldn't do anything.
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: As far as scoring touchdowns against the Bengals when I
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: was on them two weeks ago.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: The line has moved from two and a half to three.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: I think it's the right side of the game.
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: I just know if we take the Texans, I'm going
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: to be cursing out their entire offense for four quarters.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: So I just want that on record.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: But the Cowboys defense sucks.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: If you can't get right against them, you're not getting
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: right against anybody. Brilliant point.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like the Cowboys defense is terrible.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Is JPJ going to play this quickly?
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's fine. I think he'll play partially.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: It's more a scheme fit thing. Is it going to
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: take him a week or two to get comfortable in
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: the defense? That'd be my question.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I don't believe that the back injury ever existed.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: It's more so can he in under five days go
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: out there and play.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: A game for this team?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think even if he does it, that's not
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't factor that into the handicap of it all.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: The Texans, this good of a Houston Texans team, and
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: I know they are injured, cannot go.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: 0-4.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: I get that the Cowboys offense is awesome, but it's
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: more so me fading the defense and just saying this team,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: this caliber, this isn't like a Patriots situation where they're
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: injured and their quarterback is struggling. CJ Stroud, I put
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: in our notes, I have him to throw a pick
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: minus 110 just because he hasn't thrown a pick all
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: season either. You're not going to survive this long without
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: doing so. I get that the Dallas defense sucks, but
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: It's more so me just statistically saying you're not going
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: to get through four weeks, CJ Stroud, without throwing an interception.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: I just, I get that I'm contradicting myself a little
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: here with both these.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Picks, but both of these things can happen.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Guys, isn't the.
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: Public going to be all over Dallas getting points in
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: this game too?
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: If I'm reading this correctly, it's about 78% on Dallas.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. It makes me like Houston even more.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Because every child in Rio de Janeiro threw out their
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: soccer balls for footballs after watching that game last week. Like,
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: I swear to God, that's what happened. I'm all over
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: Houston this week.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: I hate to say it. It's icky. I hate them.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: They're bad, but they're not going to go.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Let's get icky. Come on.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's the kind of icky I can endorse.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's probably two and a half in the
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: contest is my guess. The line has moved to three,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: but the contest lines tend to lock earlier in the week.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: We like that.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: That's good advice.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: We want that. That is an absolute positive. Texans minus
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: two and a half unless I get confirmation that it
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: has gone bigger. That will be in the contest.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Let's get icky.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Let's get icky. Talk about icky. We don't need to
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on this. Cardinals Giants. Giants
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: plus two and a half at home. Total at 44
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and a half. We have a West Coast team flying east.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: 10 a.m. Body clock for the Arizona Cardinals. The Giants
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: have a chance to advance to three and one with
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: a win in this game, which is wild given their
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: current state. No Brian Burns for the year. New York
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: was held to two of their three or has held
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: two of their three opponents to under 21 points. So
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Something's going right for New York. This is what we
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: expected going into the season is the respectability of the
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: New York Giants has been restored with John Harbaugh.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: But we do like our Redbirds on this show. I
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: don't want to touch this game. See, here's the thing
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: with the Redbirds. You like the Redbirds when you get
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: an eight and a half. You like the Redbirds when
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: you get 10. You don't like the Redbirds when you
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: lay in points.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not betting this game. I want to be very clear.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: This is a no play. There's so many games I like.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: I have a question. Is this going to be Jameis
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: or JJ?
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: It's going to be Jameis at least for the next
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: couple weeks, Kendra. It's going to take time to get
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: my namesake. acclimated with the Nagy, Roman, Callahan system.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: It's not like Jameis is up to.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: Date on it either.
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: Listen, Kendra, he's been awful, and he looks like a
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: guy who wants to go and do media and kind
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: of looks shocked by the idea that he now has
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: to be the quarterback.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: Of a team.
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: He's looked awful. I'm not defending him. But let's, like,
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: analyze this. He comes into that Ram game, awful spot.
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: Game plan for Dart, Monday night, on the road, one
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: of the best teams in the league, was not going
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: to play well. A week ago, as crummy as the
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: Titans are, the nor'easter in New York and all across
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: the East Coast, it was, thankfully I was in Tennessee,
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: so I didn't have to deal with it.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: It was miserable. Wind, rain, like not set up for success.
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: If Jameis Winston can't go and move the football against
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: the Cardinals this week, then I think that countdown for
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: McCarthy starts as soon as the next week or the following.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Week, and it's accelerated.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: But in theory, gang, this should be a spot where
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: Jameis can go and put up some points.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: And the reason I would.
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: Make the case for the Giants, I'm not betting it,
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: but if I had to play a side in the game,
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: I'd play the Giants. That respectability factor with Harbaugh, where
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: the team is just finding ways to win, where in
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: years past they did nothing but lose.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: I think coaching would end up being the difference. I
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: know that's a weird handicap on the game.
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: Arizona, I get being favored because the Giants offense is brutal.
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: Giants would pass for me.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: If the Cardinals were a smidge healthier, literally just if
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: one of those running backs was healthier or one of
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: their defensive tackles, I would be all over the Cardinals
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: in this spot. I'm telling you that now.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I am with JJ. If I had to play this game, Thankfully,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I have some composure. I don't have Kendra Middleton levels
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: of composure, but I do cap myself at some point.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: If I needed another play in my life, I would
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: take the Giants out. I would actually take them on
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: the money line. They're either going to win this game
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: or they're going to embarrass themselves.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: Lose by 10. Yeah, correct.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: You don't need to win a half.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Normally, I say when it down, take the points. This
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: is not a game you need to take the points.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: This is a strength on strength. Arizona's offense is clearly
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: superior to the Giants, but the Giants' defense is clearly superior,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: and it's the strength of the team right now. And
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I think they're still going to be able to get
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: after the passer. It's one thing with Brian Burns going down.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: They've got to do a better job of that, though, Cravey.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: They've got the talent to do it. I don't worry
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: They're not getting sacks, though. And now Burns is out
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: of the equation. So that means Carter, Thibodeau, time to
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: wake up.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll leave that one off to the side. Rams, Eagles,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Eagles plus three at home total sitting at 43 and
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: a half. Both rebound candidates here, both in prime time,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: which makes it extra unique. The Rams seem to be
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: getting Puka Nakua back. Eagles defense, a little wobbly right now,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: 27 points allowed to the Chicago Bears. They made Cam
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Ward look competent. When we look back a couple of weeks,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: 22nd and pass EPA this year, there's way too much
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: talent on that side of the ball for them to
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: be putting up numbers like this and allowing other offenses
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to thrive. the way that they are. With that said,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I'm buying the Eagles at rock bottom right here. I
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: like the Eagles plus three. That's an official nomination for me.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to hold on a second. I want
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: to nominate and I want to go the other way here.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Me too.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: Krabby, I hate to do it to you, pal. I
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: love the Rams in this spot. McVay has not had
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: a problem going to the East Coast. You mentioned the
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: coup is coming back. The Eagle offense stinks. It is awful, dude.
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: It was awful in week one against the Commanders. It
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: was awful in week two against the Crummy Titans. We
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: all watched it. And normally, these teams that stink in
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: prime time, I want to take them the next week.
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: The problem is the Rams are coming off a game.
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: They just yunked up to the Denver Broncos. I need
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: to see from the Eagles.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Crabbits.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: We have this line at what?
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Three. Yep.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Two and a half in our contest, which is even better.
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: No, we can't.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Two and a half. We can't.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Kravitz, you need to buy out of that.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: Devonta Smith was staring his ass to hell the other day.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Freaking no. Jalen Hurts is bad. He's losing his mind
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines. Bad coaching. Sirianni's seat is so hot.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, Kravitz, buy out of that.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: So I wish Puka Nakua was still out, okay, because
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I bet this earlier in the week. The line hasn't
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: budged that much since the news came in, so that
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: should give Eagles backers like myself a little bit of
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: confidence that it didn't... shape the line all that much.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was already expected that he would be back in,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: in the lineup. I would like this considerably more if
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: he didn't play, but this sets up as a strong
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: bounce back spot. And there's this, okay. You love your travel.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Is there any team in the NFL that has logged
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: more miles in the air than the LA Rams? They
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: already did the Australia trip. Now they're going from LA
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: to Philadelphia for a 1 PM kick. In a buy low,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: everybody hates the Eagles spot. This is when you bet Philly.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Matt Stafford doesn't care about the East Coast road trips.
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: And the coaching, the coaching. That's the other thing.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: It's not just the East Coast. This is an accumulation.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: We're only four weeks into the season. They're doing across
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the country and from Australia to LA. It's too much.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: This is going to catch up to them.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: You can throw a Denver flight in there too. Um,
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: I just need to see from.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: The, and off of, and off of mile high, which
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: is the stats of games off of when you go
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: from Denver off of Denver, those teams are Evan. Uh,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: there's a, there's a great stat on this. I would
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: love to be able to quote it with perfection here.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: It's like seven and 24, something ATS after you play
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: in mile high, Evan, do you have that number offhand
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: for the, after Denver trip?
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, looking at the primer right now, after looking at
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: my notes, and yeah, so it hurts even Denver. Usually
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: the stat that everyone talks about is road teams in Denver,
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: then leaving Denver. I thought it was interesting enough that
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: it even hurts Denver themselves since 2020. Denver is 11-20
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: straight up in 12-19 ATS, going on the road after
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: a home game.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: So I think even it can impact them.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: I have other plays, but just know, once again... I
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: think you're crazy.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: All right. So I think in the spirit of fairness here,
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: it is not included because we have split nominations. Is
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: that fair, Kendra?
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with it.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Moving on.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: All right. I hate you guys.
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: I will say this. I will say this. On the
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: pod I do with Stuck and Doug here, this was
• 58:52
  Speaker 7: my best bet. So I actually really like the Broncos.
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: I took them at plus three.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait. You said Broncos. Are you with me
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: or against me? Broncos and honors game. I'm on the Broncos.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Well, good.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about that later, but we're not talking.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: About the Broncos.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: No, I know.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. So, Evan, would you, like we did
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: last season, if you were to break the tie, would
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: you be on Philadelphia or L.A.? L.A.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: All right, never mind. My God! You just got Abrams'd!
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Go back in your hole, Evan.
• 59:28
  Speaker 6: By the way, Kendra, just be prepared for insufferable text
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: from our guy, Brandon.
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. If the Eagles are up like 20 to
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: 10 in the third quarter.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: And then they can't score for the last two quarters
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: and the Rams come back.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: The bird gifts that you guys are going to get.
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: I do have to say, though, this game's a little
• 59:44
  Speaker 6: personal for me.
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you why. You guys remember
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: last year, Rams-Eagles?
• 59:50
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Yes. That was the block. Worst speed of
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the year. Because the Rams were going to cover. The
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: game was over. And then the Eagles blocked the field goal.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: Blocked the stupid field goal and returned it for a
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 6: freaking touchdown.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: That was not worse for me. No way.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: That was bad. That was really bad.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: No, last year's worst one was the Raiders when Kravitz
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: didn't know.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: That he was wrong about the game.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but that was a good, but that was
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: the opposite of a bad beat. That was a good
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: beat because I won. I didn't know. I had already
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: counted the loss, but Pete Carroll kicked a field goal
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: down by 10 with no time left. Oh, I remember that.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: That was great. I had the Raiders too. That was great. See,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: we don't remember those. We remember the ones we lose.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Clearly.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Packers bucks, bucks plus three and a half total at
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: 38 and a half. It's the battle of the bays
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: and easily the ugliest game on the card. Listen to
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: some of these stats. The Packers are averaging 48.7 rush
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: yards per game. That is. by far dead last in
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: the NFL. The Buccaneers minus five in the turnover margin,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: second worst only to the Atlanta Falcons and have allowed
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: a league high 13 sacks to their quarterback. Both teams,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: bottom five and third down conversion rate. Both teams, bottom
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: six and red zone scoring. And on top of that,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: neither the Bucs or the Packers have won a game
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: against the spread since week 14 of last season. So
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: what in the war and Jalen Daniels is starting a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: quarterback for the buck. So what in the world are
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: you supposed to do with this game? Anybody touching it?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Can I just say.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: The Jalen Jaden Daniels thing is really about to mess
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: me up because I can be so dumb sometimes that
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: I know I'm just going.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: To let it slip.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: I want nothing to do with this. I don't believe
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: in either teams. Even if Baker was healthy, I wouldn't
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: want anything to do with this. The Packers are so
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: injured and the Bucks are relatively healthy other than the quarterback.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: So I just don't even know how you begin to
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: handicap this.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: I have bust PTSD from taking them last week against
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: the Vikings, which was incredibly.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: It sounds like our, it sounds like our card was
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: eerily similar last week.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: Great minds think alike or, or the opposite. Take that whatever,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: which way you'd like. Here's the, here's the problem. There's
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: no way in the world. I'm laying points with the Packers.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, they've just looked dreadful. They were dreadful against
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: the Vikings, yucking up the lead, the jet game. They
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: were incredibly fortunate. And we all saw them last week,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: Thursday night. But extra time to prepare. The Bucs with
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: a backup quarterback. And the Bucs kind of have the look, gang,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: of a team that is going to blow it TF
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: up at the end of this season.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, they have to. Todd Bowles laughing while Baker was screaming.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 6: Kendra, they just did Baker Mayfield this huge contract extension,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: which looks very regrettable. And Todd Bowles, listen, nice man,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 6: should have been fired last year. They choked the division away.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: The way that all took place. Now, they missed Liam Cohen, clearly,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: with that offense. But the Todd Bulls era needs to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 6: come to an end. I'm not taking the points with Tampa.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 6: It's Green Bay or pass for me, if you're playing
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: a game.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: Agreed.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: I look at it the other way. I think it's
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Bucs or pass. But, I mean, they.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: I think that's the best way to describe it, Kravie.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's just.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: We don't need to waste any more time on this.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Do you really want your dollars locked up on this?
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: No, we don't.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: Four o'clocks. Let's go to the Dolphins.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: Good four o'clock window, by the way. Very good four
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: o'clock window. Except for one game, of course.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Dolphins-Vikings. Vikings slaying ten and a half.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: We can just move on.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 6: Well, I was going to say, there's a case to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: be made for Minnesota absolutely blittering the Dolphins. Because remember,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: Brian Flores, coaching up against his former team, you want
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 6: to talk about a guy who is incredibly spiteful, and
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: is going to, as they said in Remember the Titans,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 6: leave no doubt, that defense is going to be blitzing.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: All day and all night.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 6: Even though the Miami offensive line actually played well against
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 6: Against Kansas City last week.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: H & M done for the year.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Cravey, sorry.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: 0-17 is on the table. It's Vikings who pass.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're a Dolphins fan. You don't need to
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: apologize to me. You get it. We get it. It
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: is what it is this year. This is not a,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: this is not a season where you need to really
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: focus on the squad. Just kind of get through it.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: And you don't have to get emotionally invested. It's kind
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: of nice.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: They don't ruin Sundays anymore. You know how nice it
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: is to not have my Sunday absolutely ruined by my
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: crummy football team. Now it's like, okay, we're moving on.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: I'm a Jaguars fan. Of course I do.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I'm Scott Hanson's adopted son. Now at this point, we're just,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: it's me in the red zone channel. Um, I do
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: think that if this is minus 10 in the contest, I,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: I think the Vikings would be worth a nomination, but anyway.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Gordon, anytime.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: I like it. Like it.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: All they have to do is get near the end zone,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: which is not going to be easy. Chiefs Raiders Raiders
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: plus four and a half total of 47 and a half.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: Fun fact for you guys. This is the 135th meeting
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: between these two teams. They've never met at 3-0 in
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: their entire history. So some history to be made on Sunday.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Mahomes is 12-2 straight up against the Raiders in his career.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: But this isn't about winning. This is about covering. Who
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: do we like? Kendra?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: I would like to nominate the Kansas City Chiefs to
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: give the Las Vegas Raiders their come-to-Jesus moment.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: You're not going to be on the Raiders in this game.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Are you serious?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Patrick beats their ass. Okay, fine.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I already bet the Raiders. I love the Raiders this week.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Line's too fat. I get the come to Jesus thing
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: very well could happen, and you can throw it in
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: my face on Monday if that's exactly the way that
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: this plays out. I think this line is too fat.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: I think this should be a field goal. The four
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: and a half does not make sense to me. This
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Raiders team is legit. And the chiefs, the chiefs have
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: a little, the chiefs have a little bit of fraud
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: in them. And I'll go over that in a minute,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: but they, just because they're the chiefs, let's not just
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: assume this is all real. Okay. So let me dig
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: into my notes here.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: So the Chiefs let the Dolphins go eight for 16
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: on third down. And they did that without Devon Achan
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: for the majority of the game. They let the Colts,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: who I think kind of stink, run up and down
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: the field on them the week prior. The Colts, in fact,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: should have won that game. They had to settle for
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: a field goal in overtime. I mean, did you see
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: their offense against Houston? The Colts are not that good.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: And they went through the Chiefs like Swiss cheese. I
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are overperforming as much as anything. This
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: should be a field goal game. And on top of it,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: while the Raiders, I think, perceptually have overperformed, they just
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: got Brock Bowers back. That guy is a matchup.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: Unguardable.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Unguardable.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: Unguardable game last week. I had the Saints against the Raiders.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: So maybe this is coming from a place of being
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: wowed because I was wowed in the game. The Raiders
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: offensive line is playing really well. You got Jente cooking.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: You got Bowers now back in the mix. Kirk Cousins
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 6: looks the best he has looked in years.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: Years, for goodness sakes. He hasn't looked this good since
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: he was with the Minnesota Vikings. And Kobe Dean, I
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: feel like, makes a play every single week. Four and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: a half points. Kubiak. This game means so much to
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: the Raiders gang. Like as far as.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: National stage, they're sending Nance and JJ Watt there. Lines
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: move from five and a half to four and a half. Kendra,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: I'm a sucker for the narrative. Give me the Raiders here.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: I will say I have two things.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: One, I do have a Bowers anytime logged because he
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: didn't score last week. I think he's a full participant
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: ready to go back in action this week.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: They're not going to limit him.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: The other thing I would like to say, are we
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: in the renaissance of the old man quarterback?
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: Uh, I think it's too early to tell what, from
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: what the Rogers.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: Rogers, Nick or case the other night, freaking Kirk cousins,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: just Marcus Mariota.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: All these old men are kicking ass.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I think because I have a quick theory on this.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: We have been so quick in the NFL to throw
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks out onto the field and then look
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: at how quick we are also to discard them as
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: not being any good because because there's the nuance of
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: the game that's being completely forgotten. It's why the Raiders
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: have been so dead set on let Fernando Mendoza learn
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: what an NFL offense actually operates like rather than throwing
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: these guys out there who are operating with the intelligence
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: of an NFL first grader while trying to run advanced
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: trigonometry and the old guys know how to do it.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's why we're seeing that Renaissance. They just
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: understand the complex offenses better than the young guys do.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: I do think that that's the case which we talk
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: about that i think semi often here but the thing
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: for me too about the chiefs they're they're healthy man
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: like they're healthy all right.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Well that's an official nominee i have i've already been
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: vetoed I want the Raiders in there.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: We can't do that.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: I like the Raiders too. See, Kravya, I'm with you
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: on this game.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: We just did the thing where you and I were
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: on the same page and he wasn't.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: And you said in fairness.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: Kendra, Kendra, Kendra, I get it. That's why it's not
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: going to be a nomination.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: I was about to be like.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 6: I'm showing fair and balanced transparency here.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: So just want that on record. I know. I was
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: team player with you. We wanted a place where we're
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: on with the Rams.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Don't fuck with me right now.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Just to review as we continue in the four o'clock.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: We've got three plays. We need two more to get
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: in there. We will have an unencumbered John Yastrzemski nomination
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: as our fifth.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: We already are on the same page. Him and I
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: for a game. I'm already aware of it.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Titans plus 11 and a half is in there. Jets
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: plus three and a half. Texans minus two and a half.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: Those are the three that we've got locked in. Let's
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: move to the Broncos and the 49ers. We already know
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: from our stat sound, Evan Abrams, he likes Denver in
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: this game. 49ers minus three Broncos fresh off of a
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: double digit comeback from Bo Nix. Stop me if you've
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: heard that before. They have wins over the Jags and
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the Rams. That looks pretty good. If this was college football,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: I think they'd be ranked number one in the country
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: after that strength of schedule. And their only loss is
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Chiefs. But now they leave mile high.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: They take on a 49ers offense that's been pretty much
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: perfect to start the year. Kendra, this is a fascinating game.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I wonder if this is the one that you'll be nominating.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: This is the one I will be nominating.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: If you couldn't tell by me and John celebrating, I it's,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: it's not so much that I don't believe in the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: 49ers as it is. I can't look at their injury report.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: and have faith in them. Whereas the Broncos, they're tested, man.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: I think that they're getting in one of these situations
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: where we're about to see them roll for a couple
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: of weeks. I could see them kind of dying down
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: towards week 10 or so, but I think that they're
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: about to roll the next couple of weeks. Genuinely, it's just,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: I cannot look at this 49ers injury report and feel
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: confident in them.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: Kendra, you absolutely nailed it. I think it's such a
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: great spot.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: To go and take the Broncos, who are going to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: be at home now for two, no, three consecutive games.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: Niners kind of had one of those games. They play
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: with their food a little bit. We saw it against
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals. Injury starting to mount.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: Just think it's let down spot city here for the Niners.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: They had the two easy games against Miami and Arizona.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: They had the big win against the Rams. Public's going
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: to grab the points with the Niners too.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: They're going to be like, oh, I'm getting two and
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: a half for three.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: San Francisco's undefeated. Brock Purdy's playing like an MVP. Altitude,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: give me the Denver defense that really.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: Came on second half of that game against the Rams
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 6: to go make another statement.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: I'm on the Broncos. I would nominate it. Let's freaking go.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: So you are right. The public is backing the San
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Francisco 49ers, 58% of the bets, but also 67% of
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: the money. So It is public support. It is financial
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: support on the San Francisco 49ers. That's a public.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: Dog with fleas, Krabby and Kensha. They got fleas.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: 26 players with an injury designation for the San Francisco 49ers.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Some weeks are so easy in having these discussions and some...
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is like pushing a boulder up a hill.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: I completely disagree with both of you. Oh my God.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: San Francisco.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Well, you can't beat them.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: You think the 49ers aren't used to having the CVS
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: injury report? Did you see them last year? They still
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: won 12 games. They dealt with injuries all year. This
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: is what they do. As long as they still have
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: that offensive line, that play caller, that quarterback who's playing
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: like an MVP and a healthy Christian McCaffrey, We're good.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: This is the Denver Broncos off of a primetime win. Now,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: this is where I agree with the public. You usually
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: like to fade them. I'm with them. I think the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: 49ers are the superior team.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: Do you know who they have on deck?
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: San Francisco.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: Seattle.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: They have Seattle on deck. You know who the Broncos
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: have on deck? The freaking Chargers. This is also a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: game that they're not, they can't look ahead, but they
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: have to.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Nah, I don't do the look ahead. That's a college thing.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: I don't do that.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: Half of their roster has an injury designation.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: I just think they're due for humbling here. The problem
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: is with the Broncos, they play every game the same.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be so annoyed in the first half.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: They'll probably be down by like 10 points.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: And they'll come back.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: And you got them just where you want them. I
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: don't trust the Broncos away from mile high. I love
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: betting Denver. I want to bet them at home. I
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: don't want to bet Bo Nix on the road. And
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: I just said that there's a home game.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: I effed up on that. My bad. This is a
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: road game for San Francisco.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: As good as statistically, this secondary has been Riley Moss
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: was torched last week by a guy by the name
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: of Kanata Mumfield. So I don't care.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: Rams do this all the time with guys. I'm not
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 6: getting nuts about that. I'm not getting nuts about that.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 6: Doesn't that seem a little too easy? Stanford says go
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: at home. Two and a half. That's what it seems
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: like to me.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: They have one receiver without a freaking injury designation, dude,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: and it's Debo.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: Stop, grab it.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: Literally.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Well, let's not ignore the fact that George Kittle is,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: you know, George Kittle counts as a wide receiver as well.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: So we're not getting there with this game. Okay.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: No, no, we can't veto your choice. This is in.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, I get this in?
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: No, we can't veto John. He gets to choose whatever
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: he wants, and he's choosing the Broncos.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: All right, fine. Broncos plus three.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I knew that I had it too good last week
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: with everything. Everything I liked. John was making it into
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: the contest.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: I was dancing over here for you to eat some crow.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: I guess this is payback, though, for us not being
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: able to get the Rams in.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: Right, Kendra?
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: I will say I like the Broncos a little more
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: than the Rams, so that's fine. Chargers and Seahawks. Seahawks
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: laying seven at home. In theory, this is where we
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: should buy the Chargers, but no thanks. Seattle just snapped
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: their 12-game winning streak with a loss to Washington. They're
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: coming back home. Twelves out for blood. No touch for me. Yeah,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: that's a Seattle or pass spot. I don't care about
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: the desperation of the Chargers. Been there, done that after
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: watching that game last week. And what I don't like
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: about the matchup, Kendra, angry, ticked off Seattle defense at
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: home against an offensive line that's in shambles. A quarterback
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: that's way too focused on his extracurriculars off the field
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: and looks like an absolute hot mess.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: Big L for the nerds on Justin Herbert, by the way.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: Big L on Justin Herbert. He's a fraud. Case closed.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: I'm on Seattle.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they would be a great teaser leg, too. Let's
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: wrap with Sunday Night Football. We'll leave Falcon Saints for
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: our Monday episode, give you the same game parlay on.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: Our recap show.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: The only thing I was going to say, if you
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: guys want me to go with a play that I
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: can get some unison on to be a team player,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: I love the Saints on Monday night.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no. Forget it. There you go. That's it.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't bet against the Falcons.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, that dome, that place.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. There's just no agreement.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: So this is how we're going to end this. I
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: don't have a play on Sunday Night Football. We can
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: preview the game. But should we let Evan throw a
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: pick in? Because we're not going.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: To endorse the Broncos. So the Broncos are going to stay.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but we need one more. The Broncos are going
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: to have to give us one. And then you're going
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: to have to give us one.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Before we get to that, let me just say a
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: little something. about Sunday night football. Lions Panthers, Panthers plus
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: three and a half. The total is 51 and a half.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: The over in this game could definitely be a play. Dr.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Chow gave us a few reasons why earlier on in
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: the episode. The Lions have scored 31 points in three
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: straight games. No team has ever started a season with
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: 31 plus in four straight. So they're looking for some
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: history there. The Panthers are without their top two starting
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: defensive backs. JC Horn, the more notable of the two.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I like the Panthers here. I already bet them Devin
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Lloyd should be back. It should at least help to
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: contain Jameer Gibbs. But if you guys are going vibes
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football with the Hurricane Katrina game in
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, Carolina never gets this spot. And they've been
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: really good at home. I don't trust that Lions defense.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: And Bryce Young quietly leading the league in passing yards
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: right now. I think they're going to be able to
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: move the ball against Detroit. I like getting the home
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: team in primetime. That will not be a popular public play.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: And the public has been getting demolished in primetime. I
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: like getting the points with the Panthers. To show I'm
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: a team player, I like it.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 6: The only thing that concerns me is that injury report
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 6: for the Panthers.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. I hate it.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: That's it? You just don't trust Carolina's defense, Kendra?
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Is that the problem? They're just so injured. They're so injured.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: I think we should put the Panthers in there. Ice it.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: Evan, can you tie break and then we can be done?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this one's just very difficult because of the corner situation.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: And also, is Coker playing?
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 7: I think he may not be.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: Last time I looked on this one, which would be.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's no update on him. He's still questionable.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, which is a little dangerous considering you're going to
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: have to keep up in this game. So I don't
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 7: think this is a contest play.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: Cool.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: I think Carolina with injuries off.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Evan, give us a contest play. All right.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Give me a contest play. I like the Broncos this week.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: That's already in.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: Other than the Broncos.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 7: We said the line in Arizona and the Giants is
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 7: one and a half.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: Two and a half, I think. Oh, it's two and
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: a half. You guys have the lines better than me,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: but I'm seeing two and a half in a lot
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: of places.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: I kind of like Arizona in that game, but it's
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: getting a little aggressive.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: One and a half contest, Evan.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: One and a half.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: Wait, and okay.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: And what about the Jets? Jets are in, right? We
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: have the Jets. Jets are in.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: Three and a half.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: Jeez, what is going on with us these days? We're
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 7: agreeing on way too much. And you guys were flipped
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 7: on the Rams, right?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: I like the Rams. Kendra likes the Rams. Someone doesn't.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: Do it to them, Evan.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Do it.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm worried about, listen, that game also has
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 7: Rams injuries, but I do like getting Puka back.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: I think the Eagles are a mess.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: Rams.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I can see it. We could do Rams. Rams. All right.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Just for the sake of time.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: Wow, Krabby is going to hate us, Kendra, this Sunday.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: He's going to hate us.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: Watch this be our 5-0 card.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: That'd be great.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: Anything less than that, and there will be disdain coming
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: from me. Contest this week. Titans plus 11 and a half.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Jets plus three and a half. Texans minus two and
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: a half. We got the Broncos at plus two and
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: a half against the 49ers and the Rams. Let's get Yankee!
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Let's get it. John Yastrzemski, the mayor of New York City.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much and go enjoy that Yankees win. Hopefully
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: the Rays don't get you.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: It should be a lot of fun, guys. Look forward
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: to it and let's make it 5-0.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: Let's go. That's going to do it for us here
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: on The Favorites. We'll be back on Monday as we
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: recap week four of the NFL season and a preview
