WEBVTT
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.440
Alright, we're back.
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:11.279
Week four of the podcast.
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:22.239
And I mean, I took a beating in real life on my bets, but the bets from the from the pod were actually kind of hitting my parlay plus 271.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.440
Hopefully you bet your entire life savings on that.
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.600
I mean, it was looking rough.
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:29.440
Eagles barely pulled it out.
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.280
Green Bay barely pulled it out.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:37.679
And Carolina, who I was most afraid of, just came out and smashed the Falcons.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.119
The Falcons are trash.
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:47.679
Um let's talk a little bit about let's talk a little bit about last week because two things happened that were bad for the pod.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.520
One, we'll start in the NFC North.
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.640
There was a team, the Chicago Bears.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.759
It was SIGs the first week, it was Cigars the second week.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:06.079
You were celebrating the Super Bowl, coming, you know, just having to roll through Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.519
And now, what do you think of the hamstring?
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.359
I mean, have you ever pulled a hamstring?
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.200
Much of straight drug abuse, bro.
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.400
Now I'm just smoking weed over here, not caring about life.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.959
Is it legal in Wisconsin?
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.000
It's not.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:20.480
It's not.
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.079
So they're definitely breaking the law.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.760
We're breaking the law on the pod.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:26.239
Okay.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.719
Dude, and I had to cross state border, state lines to get this.
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:32.159
To obtain it, huh?
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.680
Shout out, Michigan.
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:34.799
Um, yeah.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.920
So I've been holding this tantrum in, as you know, since Sunday.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.840
Um, people have been you know texting me all week, like, oh, what do you think?
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:44.319
What do you think?
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.719
And I'm like, I'm holding it in for today.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.599
We're getting everything right now, but again, the floor is yours.
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.400
Let's see what the state of the bears are.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:58.480
I I don't even know where to begin with the emotional roller coaster that was Sunday.
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.719
Because when Caleb went down originally, I text, you know, all my boys like Achilles, like right away.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:11.520
I usually, I usually am pretty good about when I see an injury on the floor, uh, I usually know it before the broadcaster knows.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:19.199
But uh, just by the way a guy, you know, holds something, or or you know, I've seen it happen so many times that it's just you know kind of natural uh for me to see it.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:30.960
But Caleb's way, the way he fell down was was so awkward because it gave, it was giving uh Achilles, but really he felt something in his hammy and then kind of just fell on his own.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.879
He put himself uh in that in that awkward position, falling back on it um on his back.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:46.879
But I don't even know why the play got to this to this point because he had Colston Loveland in front of him, and all he had to do was dump it off, and this dude walks into the end zone.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:57.199
But instead he calls him to block, and then he wants to take it in himself the last five or six yards, but it's a rainy day, it's it's absolute garbage in the red zone.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.159
Soldier field is notorious, one of the the worst turf, you know, field service forever.
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:10.639
They they fixed it in the last few years, you know, but um still it it's it's something that that has to be, you know, has to be known.
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:25.520
Um and then the way he came off, you know, he was carted off the field, he had the towel over his head, he was crying, he was giving, you know, the thumbs up as if he, you know, tore every ligament in his body and was like, I'll be back next year, you know, win one for the Gipper.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:34.479
I'm so confused because now they're like it's a grade one strain of the hammy, and he might, you know, he's not even out yet for this week.
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.599
He's doubtful, but he's not even completely out yet.
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.360
What was the dramatics?
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.879
I mean, I know he's you know, is used to living in Hollywood.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.719
Um, but what was that?
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:55.120
He made every fan in Chicago, I mean, every Bear fan across the world, I mean, hold our breath and continue to hold it long into Monday because they're like, we're gonna do further testing.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.039
And usually they wait the second day for uh imaging simply to let the swelling go down.
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:11.360
But with a hammy, I I'm not sure, you know, there was that much swelling or or or um, you know, something that needed to be weighted overnight, but it it was ominous.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:17.360
And and the Bears have never been, you know, trusting and and truthworthy with with their own fan base.
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.920
They've never been um very upfront.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:29.680
So it's always kind of, you know, Rex is our quarterback, this kind of thing, this week to week, you know, updates, but we never are are fully in the uh in the know.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.439
And this just feels ominous.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.959
It feels weird, it it feels like they're holding something back from us.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.360
Um, even after people announced that it was Hammy and my friends were texting me, it's not the Achilles.
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.759
I'm like, they're lying, it's still the Achilles.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.319
Um but yeah, it's just a weird situation, and and I don't know what to make of it, um, still to this point.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.079
Uh I don't know why, with the way that he went off.
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.600
Uh same thing.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:04.879
Like, every you looked at the and you just go, okay, Torres Achilles, like he can't walk off the field, he got carted, he has a towel over his head, he knows something is bad.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.920
Yeah, I I've strained my hamstring.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.839
I was, you know, I don't know, I don't want to brag.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.040
We're 40, bro.
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.120
We we strained our hammy getting out of bed.
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:19.360
But I was I was on a on an all-star Nashville rec league kickball team back in the day.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:19.839
Hell yeah.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:29.040
And in the finals, hell yeah, you know, I kick it, I'm running to first, and I still I want to uh let the record show I still got to first base and made it on base.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.720
But I pulled my hamstring or strained it or something.
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.800
I had to take myself out of the game, but I I walked over to the sidelines.
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:37.839
Damn.
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.639
But you know, uh You took it you took it like like a like a G.
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.439
You walked off.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:44.800
I walked off.
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.439
I didn't put the towel over my head, I gave the fans what they wanted.
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:56.560
You know, I waved to our to our fans, but I you know, but that's that's what that it's uh I would take.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.959
Yeah, we were we were a top team, Tony.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.240
I love to hear this.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:03.040
I love this making.
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.639
But it, you know, we were a top team.
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.639
Because it was co-ed, so husbands and boyfriends too.
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:11.839
I like it even more.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.480
Uh this is the first time I smiled since Sunday, so thank you.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.040
Thank you.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.560
I mean, I got a trophy.
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.319
I got my trophy up there for uh for for our team.
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.199
But here's uh um that's not a participation champion.
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:34.879
I'll give you I'll give you a quick this was good, but the first year we made the championship, um I uh we were undefeated and and we just ran through the season.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.639
We we were crushing.
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:42.000
And so I we were called the one kick wonders, like one hit wonders because it was a bunch of people in the music industry.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:53.519
And so I shaved, I went to like a black barber shop and shaved one kick wonders into my head, and I wore a beanie because it was like fall, you know, cold in Tennessee.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:01.360
I wore a beanie, and and so all we had, we we just had to win this one game, I think, and it was the championship.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:17.839
So I'm like, all right, at the end, like before like last inning, I'm gonna pull it out and just like let everybody know, like, where the chance we got smoked in the championship, and I had and I had one kick wonder shaved in my head for an entire winter.
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.959
Um, yeah, did you reveal?
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:21.920
Was there a reveal?
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.360
We were getting smashed, but I was like, guys, I did this to my head.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.519
Like now I feel so dumb.
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.920
Um, but yeah, had it shaved, had it shaved into my into my head.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.160
Uh so that's my little kickball tangent.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:56.319
But as a kickball player, I had a hamstring industry injury, and I don't understand why the trainers didn't already know it was a hamstring industry injury, and then they could just tell people, like, oh hey, reporter that's reporting, yeah, they're like he didn't tear his Achilles, like you would think they would have known right away.
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.199
Like, I didn't hear anyone say Achilles, it was just me.
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.879
It was just, you know, no, but it was the entire world.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:19.199
Like, if the reporters on Twitter and probably looking, going, Oh, he tore his Achilles because of the way he acted, like, right, why wouldn't you say on the broadcast, like, hey, he's not coming back, but we're not looking at a serious injury right here, you know.
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:24.560
Maybe a couple weeks he misses, you know, just depending on how how he can rehab.
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:34.080
Maybe he's back next week, you know, like depending like if it was like would that be the first guy ever to be carted off and then play a week and a half later.
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.480
Wow, what a Hollywood ending!
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:37.840
What a Hollywood, yeah.
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.440
Make the make the movie better.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.919
So you guys had that in Chicago.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.679
That was in the early game.
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:44.320
Yep.
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:50.320
And then we had And then you man, we had Jasus is no longer named Jasus.
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.879
He's no longer the Lord and Savior.
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.440
I have to get he was my favorite player that we had.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:05.679
Um, and you can see when he's on the field why it's worth keeping him around because we were gonna win that game.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:13.759
Uh, he had a bomb to um, I forget who it was, uh, Antonio Williams, maybe, and he overthrew him just a little bit.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:15.600
But that was a missed touchdown.
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.919
Even Mariota threw a touchdown to Diami Brown that they called no touchdown.
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:31.120
But Jaden was coming in, we were gonna tie the game, and he put his he got tripped up by our center and puts his arm on the ground and snaps his elbow.
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:39.279
And it was wild, it's just then threw the ball up, and then it was like, oh, look at his elbow, it's coming out of his arm the wrong way.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.440
Like, all right, well, that's it.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.159
And so now they're saying if he comes with the brace, he could be back in like four or five weeks.
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.559
But this is his third year.
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:57.120
He the first year was a major injury, but yeah, it's like the second, you know, last year he missed most of his games.
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.759
This year it's looking like, alright, he maybe he misses four to five weeks.
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.559
We're terri I mean, we're already 0-2.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.320
Mariota is not gonna get us, you know, wins.
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.080
So do you is it even worth him coming back?
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:16.240
But then aren't you mad though at at your coach?
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.240
I mean Mr.
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:18.799
Mr.
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.559
Hard Nips himself.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.399
What is he doing?
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.240
Go for the field goal, dude.
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.000
I'm fine with tying it up.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.960
I'm fine with it's just the last play of the first half.
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.080
You're you're cool with that play?
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.080
I'm fine with because we would have got a touchdown.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:32.879
It's Jesus.
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:33.679
Hmm.
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:35.679
Right, right, right.
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:37.200
I keep forgetting.
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:44.879
You just bet that the guy can't put his body weight on his fingertips for three seconds without his elbow snapping.
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.240
Um and I don't blame the is clearly not adding enough protein.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:58.960
Yeah, I don't blame the coats for for being like, hey, you know, hopefully our quarterback won't have to put his fingertips on the ground this play.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.480
Um so I mean I think Dan Quinn is gone.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.759
I think this is gonna be his last year.
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:11.039
We're gonna need a scapegoat anyways for not be, you know, for making the NFC title game and then being bad the last two years.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:24.720
And really, a scapegoat is just injuries, but I don't see how unless Jaden takes a team-friendly deal going into his fourth season next year, we're gonna have to decide whether to give him the fifth-year option.
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:37.279
And unless he's gonna take a team-friendly deal where he's not making, you know, 30 40 million dollars a year to play quarterback, which we probably would have had to give him if if he had done well again this year.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:43.039
If we suck this year, just there's a bunch of good quarterbacks coming out.
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:52.720
Just like I'm ready to trade Terry, I'm ready to trade Diggs, I'm ready to trade anyone with any value except for Tunzel and Cosby and Sonny Stall.
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.919
Aging wide receivers that you just signed.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.720
Sure, sure.
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.360
No, but like, could we could would someone give us a second or third for Terry?
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:08.000
Like, I I don't think that it's impossible that you know that people would do that two years ago for sure.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:19.759
Even now, I don't think I mean a third round pick, like I don't think anybody's like if you're you know I love Scary Terry, but he's been non-existent this season, and even when they have thrown to him, he just doesn't look like himself.
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:29.039
But here here's something if you're the Rams and Puka is out, do you say, okay, I will go get Diggs, or we'll go get Terry for a third round pick.
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.200
I mean, Diggs is on a one-year contract, so really, like go get Diggs.
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.399
If you're the 49ers, Terry's 30, though, too.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.360
I mean, you know what I mean?
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.519
But his contract is short because when he did that holdout, we didn't end up paying him a bunch.
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.799
So it's not a terrible his isn't even a terrible contract to take on.
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:54.799
But if he would be who I take on, he would it would be it would be F1, you know, not Diggs, but it would be scary Terry that I would take on the street.
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.919
Is is Terry a number one receiver right now?
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.960
He's not playing like that.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.360
And I've been fighting people that you know about that his entire career.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.159
I think he is.
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.039
I think he was.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.799
He was for sure, yeah.
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:07.200
Right.
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:14.399
And right now, um, you know, it's getting to that age where he's he's he's at the end of his prime, and we're gonna see.
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:19.200
I mean, like well, like we said last week, give everyone three to four weeks of grace period.
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.480
That's their preseason.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:28.799
And then when we see everyone in football shape, you know, around week four, that that's when we're gonna be able to tell if these guys are done or if they were just getting, you know, warmed up.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:34.399
But I think with Mariota throwing him, I mean, I don't to me, I don't I don't I want our third stringer to to play.
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.559
We got some rookie that we drafted.
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.080
Just let him play.
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.759
Yeah because I I at this point I don't want to win games.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.039
Uh I don't think, well, it's not that I don't want to win games.
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:51.279
I don't think we're gonna win with Mariota, but I think maybe we have a better shot, you know, at okay.
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.759
I mean, he's still bad, but like maybe he gives us a better shot.
00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:02.639
He might not make as many mistakes as this rookie who would probably come in and throw you know two picks a game.
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:13.440
Um, but at least we'll be bad and we can go get one of these like you know, if we get a top three pick, which if you're looking at the league, I mean, I know it's only two weeks.
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.039
Miami, I think, is for sure the worst team in the league.
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.159
And then I mean, who else is that who else is like really, really, really bad?
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.840
Atlanta sucks, but now they're finally gonna get Penix.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:33.840
I mean, I don't think Penix is good anyways, but at least they'll have, you know, not their third string quarterback in.
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:34.399
Yeah.
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.320
Um the Titans are great.
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.759
Cleveland already won the game.
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.519
The Titans, I think Miami and the Titans.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.360
Did we tell you about Cleveland last week?
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:41.919
We talked about it.
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:50.399
They're the worst team in the league in week one, and then week two in the NFL, recency bias, everyone still has them as the worst team in the NFL the next week.
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.440
And look what happens.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.039
I mean, I'm even guilty of it.
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.320
In our survivor pool, I'm all I already lost another team.
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:02.240
It's week three, and I've lost two out of the three damn teams I've had because I keep going against what I keep saying on the show.
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:03.840
You gotta listen to the show.
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.440
You've been crushing on the show.
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.159
You gotta listen.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.799
You've been giving up.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.879
I'm going against my own self.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.600
So I'm a little bit.
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.600
I'm the ultimate self-sabotager.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.120
I mean, I'm textbook.
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:15.919
Dang.
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.519
So I think but I think we could get something for Terry.
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.120
I think we could get something for Diggs.
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:22.399
Like, 49ers.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.080
Mike Evans is already, you know, he's not out, but he's already dinged up.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.360
They're wide, they've already got two other wide receivers who are out.
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:37.600
So, like, can you go get Terry or Diggs to just keep you know having someone that I mean Diggs has been good this year for us.
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.000
I mean, he's got three touchdowns already.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:49.519
Um but I just don't at this point, I'm just like, we can't really trust that Jaden's gonna ever be fully healthy.
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.080
So unless he gives us a team-friendly deal, try to trade him next year.
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:03.519
Like, you know, see if there's a team out there that wants to take a risk, or just keep him on he's on his rookie contract, have him fight it out with whoever we draft.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.960
And if he can beat him out and he makes it through the season, great.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.639
Then we've got a Kirk Cousins situation where we gotta franchise him for two years if he's actually good.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.799
And, you know, it is what it is, but we also have a quarterback in the waiting.
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:26.000
You know, maybe my boy Trinidad, you know, I've never gotten to root for a quarterback in college and then get him on my NFL team.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.000
So maybe, maybe we're bad enough that we get my boy Trinidad.
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.799
Um what else did you see?
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.200
So let's talk about the recency bias.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.960
I mean, the the Browns won.
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:50.399
Um, people were also talking about uh how bad the Chargers were, but then everybody kind of picked them to win again, and then now maybe the Chargers are just bad.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.200
Yeah.
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:52.879
Arizona came back to life.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.919
Everyone thought the Cardinals were better than they were, and everyone thought the Patriots had just fallen off a cliff.
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.279
Um Giants lost their quarterback, so you can't really say much for that.
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.359
But I mean that's another unfortunate situation.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.839
I mean, he got hurt on the first possession, too.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.200
Yeah, lots of quarterbacks.
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.960
They didn't even get out the gate.
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.079
They didn't even give Giants fans, you know, and that's what New York loves to do.
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.920
Rogers blew out his Achilles first possession, dark, he's gone for the year.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.519
I mean, it's terrible.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:40.960
It it is really, I mean, and it's rough when you lose your QB for the year so early, too, because then you're just like especially if you were the Giants, like you know that Jameis isn't taking you uh to the to the playoffs.
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.359
Um so then it's like, okay, do we go do we go get Flacco?
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.039
Let's not throw my boy Jameis under the bus.
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.920
Shout out to Rich.
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.839
Um another another lover of Jameis, famous Jameis.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.319
But uh So you think you think uh you think Jameis could do it?
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.599
Dude, Jameis is my guy, but but this is the situation.
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:09.599
Like you were just you were going down the right path, and I and I interrupted you um rudely, but um with these backup quarterbacks, you're not aiming for the Super Bowl anymore.
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.279
There's no more upside with these guys.
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:17.359
All you're hoping for is to sneak into the playoffs through the back door and maybe win a game in the first round.
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.279
But uh, yeah, your your actual hope for the season is dead.
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:32.000
And how do you think Jameis uh being a World Cup correspondent this summer and not practicing football helps him in the season coming up for the NFL?
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:38.079
For Jameis, someone like famous Jameis, who was drafted as a major league pitcher or outfielder as well.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.559
Um, I think it makes him better because he wasn't overthinking anything.
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:46.000
You know, he was he was worried about soccer and and and world.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.400
He was maybe learning from the world's best.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.000
He was learning from the world's best.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:56.079
And when you're when you're at that stage, I mean it's just you're dealing with the elite, the elite of the elite.
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.720
And and when when we talk about elite in America, we're talking about Jameis Winston, okay?
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:10.319
Um whether he's just being a normal person on the street, um, or an NFL quarterback, you know, by day.
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.759
Even even if he wants to throw on the old spikes and and and and the glove, plays play baseball.
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.279
I didn't know he played baseball.
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.519
Did he play baseball at Florida State too?
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:21.039
Oh, bro, yeah.
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.319
He was dominant.
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.359
He got drafted.
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:24.640
I had no idea.
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:25.519
Oh my god.
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.440
He was one of the best baseball players in the country.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:27.920
Yeah.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.640
Dang.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:29.440
Yeah.
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.240
Good for him.
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.319
And then and then he stole a crab, a crab leg in his entire career and his trajectory changed.
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.319
That was all I knew about him, besides Didn't he won the national championship.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.279
I think I bet on, right?
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.400
Didn't he win the national championship?
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:42.799
Yep.
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.119
Yep.
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.160
I think I bet I think I bet on that, on him to win.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.440
Dude, he was he was on top of the world at one point.
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.960
And I mean, his athleticism, just incredible.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.440
But the only thing is, you know, you can't fault him that much when he entered the NFL.
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.640
He's a gunslinger.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.359
You know what I mean?
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.039
He just he does not worry about the coverage.
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.960
He's a guy, he's a guy that forces to his number one receiver, no matter where he goes and what he does.
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:11.440
So if you're in fantasy, look at Malik Neighbors.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:17.119
If he's on the field, Jameis is gonna be feeding him crab legs all game.
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.680
You know who I looked to this Monday night?
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.960
I did a uh I did Rams minus uh six and a half, which hit.
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:28.240
And then I did Rams money line plus Isaiah Likely.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:32.000
Uh four uh four plus catches when we got there.
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:33.119
There you go.
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:34.079
Nicely done.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.920
You you're just absolutely destroying.
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.480
I I want to apologize last week about you know giving Stroud out.
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.160
That was another recency bias.
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:47.440
It actually worked.
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.559
He threw he he led the league in passing yards last week.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.720
352 yards, but he didn't throw no touchdowns of any kind.
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.039
So I do want to apologize for that.
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.960
I I I need to get better, you know.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.119
I I need to give you guys at least a touchdown on a side.
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:08.960
Well, I don't think you can blame Stroud for that loss, but I mean they had like 18 rushing yards or something, something crazy like that.
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.680
For sure.
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:15.519
But non-existent my Super Bowl pick of Houston Texans is not looking so hot.
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.759
The Seattle side is looking good.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.079
The Houston Texans, I don't know.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:28.079
I mean, starting 0-2 uh is bad, but I think last year they started 0-3 and still made the playoffs because their division sucks.
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:36.319
So I mean so that you know they could they there's nobody in their division that's 2-0.
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.440
So it's not like they're you know, they're really only one game behind the leader of their division.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:50.240
And so they're they're not out yet, but it and and they play Buffalo, who looks like I mean, that was your Super Bowl pick.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.920
They look legit.
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:58.000
And Cincy usually comes out slow, but this year has come out fast.
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.759
And because I'm not bad.
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.519
This is the one year I haven't put them in our survivor pool.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.440
And of course, this is the would have advanced me.
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.279
Well, no, talk about the surface.
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.079
Oh no, go ahead.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.480
Go ahead.
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.799
Yeah, no, no, because I'm not going to move on the survivor.
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.920
How depressing my life is that my Bears scored 59 last week.
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.519
I'm on top of the world smoking cigars in the studio.
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.319
And then let's fast forward seven days.
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:29.920
Dude, I'm already activating my secondary team, which is the you know the Hawks.
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.799
Like, so this is not even week three.
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.400
We're not even here yet.
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:35.920
Well, what is life?
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.200
Like, what's the meaning?
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.680
It's certainly not pro football, tell you that.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.359
And now they say uh your backup is in concussion protocol, too.
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.119
When did he get a concussion?
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:46.160
When did he play?
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:55.440
He threw four boxes that all looked like he had someone had stolen the thunder from his arm and put it into the opposite arm.
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.119
I don't know what he was doing.
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.799
Uh, you know, my boy Rich said that he was throwing up 500 balls.
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:01.359
You know what I mean?
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.599
You're like 500! Everyone had a shot at his pass.
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:08.880
I don't know what he was doing.
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:10.559
He had so much space, too.
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:19.440
These guys were given a lot of respect, but hopefully that was just because of the the the weather conditions, and maybe he has really tiny hands like like Charlie's.
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:30.640
Like, you know, it was kind of a big spot because they were still in it to win uh when he was there.
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.000
How many chances did they have?
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:36.240
Yeah, like nothing chances to friggin' win this game.
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:44.480
I mean, Minnesota just kept saying, you know what, we're not gonna score a touchdown, we're just gonna kick a couple more points and and and here you guys go.
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.799
No, no, no, thanks, Tyson said.
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.440
No thanks.
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:54.799
And we signed this dude to a two-year extension this year because you know, everyone in the city's obsessed with him.
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.240
Uh, Ben loves him.
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:04.400
Um, this guy was an absolute D2, you know, Division I double A, whatever stud uh in college, and he just never got a chance.
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:14.480
And he should be, he could be starting for a number of NFL teams at quarterback, but um, you know, we could have traded him in the offseason like we did with Justin Fields a few years ago.
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.759
Give him an opportunity to play because we like him so much.
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:23.759
But Ben was so adamant that we needed to have him as the backup for Caleb, which is fine.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.880
Um, and and we were all behind him.
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.359
I I I've been on this dude since day one.
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:34.240
I I loved him in college, and I I think he's a hell of an athlete, and I like the way you know he was raised.
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.119
And uh I wonder what they could have got for him.
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.000
That's what I'm saying.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.200
That's what I'm saying.
00:24:40.079 --> 00:25:08.000
If Caleb was still fine, you know, or didn't get this, like if he had just finished the game, whatever, and no no injury at all, would the Giants have been looking at him as somebody like, all right, look, let's, you know, trade for him, and maybe you guys could have, you know, got something, and the Giants are really over thinking, like, hey, we could win the division, you know, if we just have somebody who's not gonna throw a bunch of interceptions.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:19.680
But last week, so I mean I think the big shocker was the Saints, at least for me, was the Saints actually beating the Ravens.
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:24.079
I know you've been on the the Ravens, I mean the Saints and the Ravens too.
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.400
Yeah, but I mean no more archmanning for the Saints.
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.240
That's a I don't know.
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.480
But that was that was a big one.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:49.039
The Eagles, I I can I don't I mean they they looked bad against us, um, the Commanders week one, but it was also week one, um, and then they looked bad against the Titans, but then it was like 150 degrees on the field or something, and Saquon goes out.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:51.279
I think getting an IV, right?
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.759
Yeah, so it's like you I mean that game I can't really take anything from that.
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:05.039
Um the Browns beat the Buccaneers, um, you know, the like we said, the Raiders beat the Chargers, the Broncos beat the Jags.
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.359
I mean, it was it was close.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:21.759
Um, but like, and then the Colts like that was another recency bias where I like the Broncos, and the Broncos looked dead in the water two weeks ago, and people were writing them off, and everyone had the Jags in the Super Bowl.
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.160
So yeah, that's just the NFL duce reminding you every week.
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:27.680
Don't worry about last week.
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.960
Don't worry about last week.
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:33.759
Yeah, the Chiefs, you know, bare you know, barely hanging on to beat the Colts.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.920
Um, but let's move on to this week.
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:38.480
Yep.
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.079
This week, let's start with the since you were talking about the Survivor.
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.279
All right, I haven't lost yet.
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.359
Both my teams you haven't, you're still alive.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:46.960
I'm still alive for both of them.
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.839
I've had three entries when we started two weeks ago, and now I have one.
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.960
And they're all I'm only alive because of your Steeler pick last week, bud.
00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:58.240
Okay.
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.559
Oh my so here's who I've got going.
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.759
I've got Seattle, I'm taking them now against the Commanders.
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:17.279
Yeah, and I'm taking uh I'm taking Sincy, which I don't know who are they playing again this this week.
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.119
I've I've got I have them written down.
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:30.160
Oh, they're playing the Steelers in Pittsburgh, but here's the thing This is probably not a game you should pick on the Survivor pool because it's a division away.
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:35.200
But here's the thing Pittsburgh cannot move the football.
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:41.759
They're they're one to two weeks away from the Penn State guy being the quarterback in Pittsburgh.
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.799
Because they have to take Rogers out.
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.319
They can't move the football.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:51.680
They couldn't move the football against the Falcons, they couldn't move the football against the Patriots.
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.480
So I'm out.
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:54.720
That's why I picked the Pats like last week.
00:27:54.799 --> 00:28:00.799
It was it wasn't the how bad the Pats offense looked, it was how bad the the Steelers' offense looked.
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:07.200
The Steelers are gonna have to score two touchdowns from their defense every week.
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:12.079
And since the Bengals are rolling, I know division, but all they have to do is win.
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:13.920
They don't have to cover in our league.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.839
It's just they just have to win.
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:25.039
So I'm taking the Bengals because later on, you know, Bengals are gonna have two games against the Ravens, and I'm never gonna pick either of those.
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.519
Um so I'm just taking the Bengals now.
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:34.480
Seahawks, uh, it just seems like alright, let me just keep keep this going, get an easy win in there.
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:40.079
But here's the thing there's been so there's been huge upsets each week.
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:49.920
Arizona, first week for sure, you know, beating the Chargers, which now doesn't look like that much of an upset, but you know, first week it was.
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:56.000
Um could the Commanders beat the like who's gonna be the upset this week?
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.119
Last week, everyone like the Ravens uh or the Saints beating the Ravens killed a ton of parlays.
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.519
Um the Raiders beating the Chargers killed a ton of parlays.
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.200
What game though?
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.000
Or first, do you have your uh survivor picks?
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.039
Do you know who you're picking for your for your own?
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:25.039
Yeah, well that matters much, much less because obviously whatever I'm saying, I'm gonna do the opposite, and then I'm gonna I'm just gonna exit stage left, okay?
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:35.519
Um, all right, so obviously I gotta pull, you know, a summer of George uh Costanza type move where I'm just gonna do the opposite of whatever I think.
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:42.319
So of course, in the in the uh in the love of doing the opposite, it would mean I'm giving love to the Packers this week.
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.440
So um Green Bay's should walk through Atlanta um tomorrow night.
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:48.319
TNF.
00:29:48.480 --> 00:30:00.640
I usually don't like to do primetime games um uh it with my theory, but uh for survivor pools, but clearly my theories are out the window week three.
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.000
So uh this is usually what I used to do in gambling too.
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.519
I'm gonna press it, I'm gonna double down, and I'm gonna say, you know what?
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:09.680
Let's go with the team I hate most.
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:18.720
So then maybe it's a win-win where I can just show them some love, but it will probably end up kicking me in the in the face, and I'll end up hating them more um when they lose.
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.160
Yeah, I'm gonna go against my instincts of the primetime play.
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:31.519
Uh, I like the Saints, even though it's a little bit of a trappy um game against the Raiders, uh, coming off that huge win against against Baltimore.
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.079
But honestly, I just love the Saints this year.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.960
I I I love their offense for fantasy purposes.
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.920
Uh, I like the way they play for Survivor Pool.
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.680
Um, and honestly, I think this is gonna be the game of the week.
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.799
And I think this is one that's gonna be overlooked by everyone.
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:51.599
But Raiders Saints, 325 game um at the Superdome.
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.319
Yeah, I I I think you're gonna get all you can handle.
00:30:54.400 --> 00:31:02.400
And honestly, I don't like over-unders, but that 43 and a half for for the total is wildly low.
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:05.359
These two defenses are horrific.
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.039
They're gonna be giving it up.
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:16.799
And honestly, as long as Cousins is still at the helm, he's gonna he's gonna make some costly turnovers, as cousins is prone to doing, but he's also gonna put points up on the board.
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:18.000
He's gonna take shots.
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:25.599
And if it wasn't for Genty, I mean he dropped three passes last week that were just honestly beautiful balls right in his hands.
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:27.839
Um, something was wrong with Genty last week.
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.480
He was off.
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.759
But um, yeah, that's gonna be uh a good one.
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:36.559
And then my last one, and this is a little bit of an upset, but not really.
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:42.799
Um, I'm gonna go with the Giants uh and Jameis because they're playing the Titans, they're in New York.
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:50.079
Um, everybody, obviously in New York, is feeling really underwhelmed right now after the loss of Jackson Dart, probably for the year.
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:55.759
Um, and I think Jameis is gonna do what Jameis likes to do, and that's make people smile and make people happy.
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.240
And the Titans are gonna look for their first win of the year, they're gonna come close.
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.400
Jameis is gonna give them ample opportunities with probably four picks.
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:08.480
But the greatness about Jameis is that he forgets and moves on to the next play.
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.440
Yeah, uh, and he's gonna throw four touchdowns.
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.599
So four touchdowns, four picks, win for the Giants.
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.799
Win for the Giants.
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.359
I like that.
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.000
I I do think the Giants are gonna win as well.
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:36.559
I I'm staying away from betting it, but I do think that with a week with a week to prepare, and the Titans are just so bad that I I don't and the you know the Giants pass rush is good, and so they'll be able to get to uh Cam and mess him up.
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:51.279
So I I don't I just don't think that the Titans are gonna be able to score much, and so you know, as as long as Jameis isn't just throwing pick sixes, I think the Titans still won't put up points, um, you know, it's especially touchdowns.
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:55.440
I've got something all right, I took your advice last week.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:24.000
So, like I said when we started out, my parlay that I gave out on the on the pod hit, but my bets for the early games were just getting crushed because I had Chicago, I had Ravens in other parlays, I had Chargers, so just and I and it wasn't like I stacked up everything on every parlay, it was just that those three were on every were on uh at least one of the parlays.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:33.359
So that so my first my my early games just got cooked, but then I had a$500 winner on the later games because why?
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.440
Because I took your advice, I figured out how to do teasers on my app.
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.160
Um so what did I do?
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:50.799
I teased uh I teased um Jacksonville to um what I did was I just tried to find the number and go up a half point.
00:33:51.039 --> 00:34:01.920
So I teased Jacksonville to minus seven and a half or plus seven and a half, they lost by seven, uh but that way I just get over the number, whether it's three or seven.
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.599
Um it was Jacksonville.
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.559
Let me I gotta pull up uh pull up the bet.
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.679
Um, but it was it was uh Jacksonville.
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.000
I did lose my commander's bet.
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:19.280
Um I forget now it's dead air, nobody cares about this, but whatever.
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:20.800
I hit the I hit the bet.
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:26.239
Um I can't the thing's taking forever to pull up, but I hit I hit a three-team teaser.
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:35.440
Um so what I've got cooking for this week, I'm back to my parlay because my parlay hit, so I can't I can't go away from the parlay.
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:48.960
We've got Seattle playing against the Commanders, we got KC against the Dolphins, San Francisco against Arizona, and Buffalo against uh the Chargers.
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:53.679
That plays that pays just money line plus 133.
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.559
Here's the thing the I think we saw who the who the Cardinals were.
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.320
Like they played a great first game.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.920
I don't think that they can match with the 49ers.
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.519
Um but this they are in this division game.
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:17.599
I know you, I know you don't like the division games, but I just don't and they know each other so well.
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:21.199
They've both played so differently the first two weeks.
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:26.159
San Francisco has played like on honestly, like the best team in the NFC right off the bat.
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:32.800
And Arizona's been Jekyll and Hyde, but as we know, that can change in an instant, especially against division opponents.
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:37.199
There's a certain comfort level knowing that you see these guys twice a year every year.
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.039
You know every one of their tendencies.
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:40.480
So yeah, be careful with that.
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.360
I'm gonna give you the comfort level that I have.
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:55.039
The Cardinals just played a divisional game against somebody that they're very familiar with, and they were so familiar that the Seahawks were like, oh yeah, these guys are bums, and beat them 31-7 in Arizona.
00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:04.239
So I think that's about what's gonna happen uh with the 49ers, is that they're gonna feel comfortable on uh on smashing the on smashing the Cardinals.
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.159
In my head, Buffalo versus the city.
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.559
The Chargers wish they had Seattle's defense, but yeah.
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:09.519
Now that's true.
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.320
That's that is true.
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:11.360
I digress.
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:11.599
Yeah.
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.840
But they're but I don't think their defense is bad.
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:15.760
No, not not by any stretch.
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.760
Um and we see that the chargers suck.
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.719
So I think it's just the chart now.
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.039
This is this is another one that makes me nervous.
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.960
Here's the this is what makes me nervous.
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:33.599
Uh, but but I gotta get rid of me thinking the chargers are who I thought they were at the beginning of the season.
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:34.960
Because they're not.
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.719
The Chargers are not good.
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:40.639
Herbert has a hot girlfriend, and he's terrible.
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.239
He's not good anymore.
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:44.639
Their offensive line is banged up.
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:45.039
Yep.
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.519
They can't.
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.519
Well, they've been banged up forever, yeah.
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.880
Yeah, and they still are.
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:56.079
But but the one thing you gotta watch out with the Chargers is they're installing a completely new offense in.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:01.119
And the offensive coordinator is a friggin' psycho.
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:09.760
I love Mike McDaniel, but he is obviously uh one step you know closer to the Looney bin with joining Jim Harbaugh.
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.159
I mean, the two of them uh I think.
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:14.000
I think he's back on the drugs.
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:20.719
I would, I mean, he was he was drinking a lot uh early on in the career, but yeah, he might have switched to like a drinking problem, right?
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.400
Maybe he's popping pills or something now.
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:33.440
But I would just love to be a fly on the wall between these conversations between Harbaugh and McDaniel because it sounds like a lot of gaslighting and not listening to one another and just you know going full at it, like, let's go.
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:34.239
I want to go.
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:35.039
Do you want to go?
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:36.159
Let's go, coach.
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:37.119
Come on, coach.
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.280
All right, what are you gonna draw up for me today?
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:43.840
And we don't really ever get to uh, you know, the meat and potatoes, but yeah, give them time.
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.679
They're still installing a new offense.
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.400
Um, you know, Herbie has not looked good.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:56.400
Uh, none of the offenses look good, and that and that's just obviously um what's gonna happen when when the quarterback is not up to speed uh with the offense.
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.480
And this is another thing I'm gonna tell you.
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:08.800
You know, Justin is one of the smartest people that that I've ever worked with, um, and and one of the smartest quarterbacks um, you know, that's come through the league, you know, in a long time.
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:17.679
And if he can't retain the information that he's been given during the offseason, then your offense is too complicated, bro.
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:24.960
And I'm a big Mike McDaniel fan and believer, but if he's it he had these problems in Miami, too.
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.280
I mean, everything went bad real fast.
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:38.159
It it started great, and and then you know, a couple injuries, a couple Tyreek, you know, getting pulled over, um, incidents, and and the next thing you know questions from his quarterback.
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:45.519
Yeah, and and to a not, you know, jujitsu or no jujitsu, he was not getting out of the way of these of these uh defensive linemen.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:59.280
And the next thing you know, you look up and you're on the other coast of America, you're no longer a head coach, and you're working for someone who, when I look at Jim, I just feel like the lights are on, but nobody's home.
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:00.400
You know what I'm saying?
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.239
So uh give it time.
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:17.679
I really feel if they didn't have this stretch where you know the West Coast teams that travel east and play at noon uh on Sunday, that that's a terrible um percentage uh of West Coast teams that that you know win in that in that situation.
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:22.719
But if it wasn't that, if it was a later game, I might be taking the Chargers.
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:34.719
Honestly, I just feel like a team or even you know, in in boxing sense, uh a fighter that's backed into a corner and has nothing to lose, I mean, is gonna give you everything.
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:42.000
And right now, the Bills are sitting pretty, they're not they're not gonna be coming out of the of the gates urgent, is what I'm saying.
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.280
They're 2-0 and they've looked, you know, as good as anybody in the league.
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:48.079
And then you have the Chargers who are literally desperate.
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:49.039
I mean, this is it.
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.280
Their season is over if they go to 0-3.
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.920
So I think you're gonna get their best effort.
00:39:54.079 --> 00:40:02.079
And honestly, the one thing that you do if you're a new offensive coordinator by week three and and guys are not getting it, you simplify.
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:05.360
So this week, watch, it's gonna be such a simpler playbook.
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:19.199
They're gonna stop with the double moves, they're gonna stop with Justin trying to throw into these tight windows, and they're gonna just start giving Hampton some balls out of the backfield, they're gonna hit Johnston with some deep passes, and then let McConkey go to work in the middle of the field.
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:24.960
So uh I I'm not I'm not counting the Chargers out just yet, even though they're playing the Bills.
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:33.760
See, here's what I here's where I think the Chargers were at home both games to start the season.
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.719
Now I know they don't have a great home field advantage.
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:38.000
Yeah, none.
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:44.960
But they played against Jacoby Brissett and Kirk Cousins.
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:55.679
Now their defense is going against Josh Allen, who you know most likely if who if the season ended right now, he'd be the MVP.
00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:56.239
Yeah.
00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:07.280
I know he's not coming out, you know, they they're they're not desperate to get a win, but I also don't think that they're that Josh Allen is coming out and just messing around.
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:09.679
So I think Well no, he never does.
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:10.239
He never does.
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:16.559
I think the Chargers, yeah, they're gonna give their he's gonna be calling whatever plays he had.
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.320
There's gonna be flea flickers, there's gonna be wide receiver passes, they're gonna be doing fake punts if they have to.
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:30.559
Bills are gonna have to stay on their toes, but I just think the Bills, like, this is just not a game that they're that they're gonna lose at home.
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:33.199
Their home field advantage is great.
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:38.159
And and I so so I was I was worried when I put it on there.
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.159
I was like, man, but the chargers have just been dog shit.
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.320
So I think I think you know they are who they are.
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.800
But so I got that for the parlay.
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.840
Now, check this out.
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:51.039
Now I'm taking your advantage.
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.679
I'm gonna I'm gonna put out a teaser a week too.
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:56.320
This this is a juicy one too.
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.719
One, two, three, four, five, six leg teaser.
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:03.679
Cincinnati at six points.
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:13.119
Cincinnati moves to plus two, Buffalo moves to minus one, Seattle to minus one, KC to minus five and a half, so they can they just have to win by a touchdown.
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:17.280
San Francisco to minus two and a half, so if they win by a field goal, we're good.
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:17.840
Nice.
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:20.559
And Philly at plus one and a half.
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:23.039
That plays that pays five to one.
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:25.119
Five to one.
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:26.719
Also six-point teasers.
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.840
That's so lovely.
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:28.559
I love it.
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:33.199
I love six-point teasers, seven, ten-point teasers, even.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:39.920
I mean, and I'll lay it down, you know, back in the day on a 10-point teaser if I really felt good about two or three teams.
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:52.239
And me and Schmidt would would, you know, I introduced him to teasers, and yeah, we would sometimes just do a Saturday of just two teams at a time with 10-point teasers and just throw two or three hundred down on it.
00:42:52.400 --> 00:43:03.760
And um, we're talking about, you know, uh teams like this, like like what you just picked, where it's it's close, but you can give them a little bit of of coverage or cushion with some points.
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:06.239
I mean, my goodness, you can't ask for much more.
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:15.679
Yeah, and I think the only thing this year that's gonna kill teasers is just how many quarterbacks are are getting hurt.
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:23.199
And because if your quarterback goes down, you know, that tease number starts to look pretty hard to hit.
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:27.840
I mean, you saw it with the Giants, you saw it with the commanders.
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.039
Um I don't know.
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:40.239
That that's the only thing that I'm worried about is if a if a quarterback goes down, um is you know, maybe that doesn't hit the teaser.
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:42.239
But what about moving on to fantasy?
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:44.880
But I mean that that's that's that's football in general.
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.079
I mean, even fantasy.
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:54.719
Some leagues now are introducing uh injury insurance to where if you get a player hurt during the game, they automatically are replaced by you know a bench player.
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:57.440
But really, um you know that yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:58.400
Soft leagues, man.
00:43:58.480 --> 00:43:59.840
Soft leagues league right there.
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:01.280
Soft.
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.440
You won't see me clicking on that setting.
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:07.199
But um, yeah, dude, that's just the nature of the sport.
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:13.760
And honestly, I can tell you, um, since I was a kid, the one thing I hate, you know, more than anything about sports.
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:20.079
I mean, there's really nothing I I I don't love, but the injuries are just, you know, an absolute buzzkill.
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.480
And and it really does drag down an entire fan base with one injury.
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:34.719
Like what Caleb went through and what we went through as as a f at fan base, and you as as commander fans, um, and what New York is going through with Dart.
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:54.079
I mean, we we're all experiencing the same type of um, you know, because everybody thinks the season's over and it's week two, and you're like, Yeah, I just spent the whole offseason getting hyped for the season, and then you're like, okay, we're, you know, if Caleb's out, the Bears' chances are low.
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:56.079
If Jaden's out, we have zero chance.
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:58.400
They didn't even let us get into the season.
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:02.400
Like, they didn't even let us get they had to pull this on week two.
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.320
Like, thank you, football gods.
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:05.360
Like, appreciate it.
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.559
And especially young quarterbacks, like, you know, you could at least win.
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:10.000
Yeah.
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.159
Like when Aaron Rodgers went out, it sucked, but it's like, all right, that's an old guy.
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.480
You know, you had years of Aaron Rodgers.
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:18.079
He's old, let him die.
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:19.840
Yeah, but you had years of Aaron R.
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.639
Like, we're like, hey, we're just trying to get no.
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:26.480
I feel you never want to see it too to anyone, but yeah, especially a young kid.
00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:35.039
It's just it's so detrimental to the franchise and and and to that coaching staff, because that every coach is tied to his current quarterback situation.
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:40.079
So if it if it ends ugly, I mean that head coach is gonna be finding a new job too.
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:40.880
Yep.
00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:45.360
So let's move on to fantasy please fantasy minute.
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:48.320
I mean, I took your advice again.
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:50.000
I took a lot of players, you said.
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:51.440
I won our league again.
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:52.320
You did.
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:55.519
You're starting to look like the expert, bro.
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:55.920
I don't know.
00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:56.880
I mean, what the hell?
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:04.000
I I listened to you, but my biggest my best picks were here, and this is gonna be my fantasy strategy going forward.
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:10.719
The commander's secondary is so bad that you need to pick the number one wide receiver this week.
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:11.760
It's JSN.
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:13.360
He's good anyways.
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:17.360
He may break every receiving record that there is this week.
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:27.119
Like if he wants to do it, even with Drew Locke, even in on an in and away game, going across the country, it does not matter.
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.000
Our secondary is so bad.
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:30.559
Yeah.
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:39.199
Um so we got, so I would pick JSN, but last week I had three players that scored a bunch, and that was pretty much it.
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:44.320
I had Bryce Young, and I did he was going against the Falcons who were awful.
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:44.960
Great.
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:46.079
That was you right there.
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:50.639
CeeDee Lamb, and then I had Carolina's defense.
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:52.239
And that but those three picks.
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:57.920
I think after giving up 59, so I applaud you for showing no recency bias.
00:46:58.079 --> 00:46:58.480
Thank you.
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:01.360
I said they're playing Atlanta, and Atlanta sucks.
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.000
So Yeah, you're riding the coattails of hating Atlanta this year, and I love it.
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:06.880
I I am.
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.119
I'm going, I'm going against Atlanta and now Pittsburgh, who I picked to make the playoffs, and I've totally switched.
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.280
Now they're they're done, they're dead to me.
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:15.840
So that's the thing.
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.679
Yeah, you had to win the division.
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:25.840
Yeah, I had I had winning the division, and now I'm now I'm picking against them in uh in sort of the Survivor Week in week three.
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:27.119
Week three.
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:28.400
Week three.
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.280
So give us your fantasy this week.
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:36.559
Um I mean, you had Josh Downs you gave out last week.
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:38.400
He had a big game for the Colts.
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:38.800
Yep.
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.159
And I was just gonna say double down, double down on Downs.
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:53.519
Um double down on double downs, double downs because uh Alec Pierce, shocker, is out again for an extended amount of time with an injury.
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:55.360
Oh, tell me if you've heard this before.
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:56.239
Who would have thought?
00:47:56.559 --> 00:48:03.119
Um, yeah, I I I think it's the same exact heel that he had offseason surgery on, but it's injured again.
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:08.880
Um, this is why they signed Keenan um DUI, hardly ever caught sober Allen.
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:11.360
Uh he blew a 2-2-4, bro.
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:12.719
A 2-2-4.
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:19.360
I mean, how many vodka cranberries can you have to get a 2-2-4?
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.000
And why is your buddy not driving?
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:26.159
Yeah, dude, you have enough money to have three drivers and you picked yourself.
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:26.559
Smart.
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:27.599
All right, Keenan.
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.079
So he'll be out, we know for three games.
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:31.440
That's an NFL policy.
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:36.800
If you're, you know, if you got Keenan Allen, he's not he's not making it the whole season for sure.
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:41.679
But it's not gonna happen uh for his arraignment is not for like six weeks.
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:44.880
So I I I got his court date in the middle of November.
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:51.119
So you can ride him until then, uh, and then and then drop his ass, like you know, his his ex-girlfriend dropped him.
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:52.400
But all right, dude.
00:48:52.639 --> 00:49:00.079
So Austin or uh Dalton Kincaid, another one last week that I I'm I'm just in love with this dude.
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:08.320
And especially uh when I see a quarterback in love with his own tight end, like Allen is, um, and he's like the best player in the league.
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.119
This is can this can only lead to good things.
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:14.000
So um keep firing up Kincaid.
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:17.199
Um all right, so fantasy minute for this week.
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:22.079
First thing I'm saying is Jalen Coker is a top 10 wide receiver the rest of the year.
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:22.960
You heard me?
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:32.480
Uh he's gonna finish ahead of the number one receiver on his own team, Tet uh McMillan, um in Carolina.
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:34.960
So Tet will be inside the top 12, though.
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:42.960
So you're gonna have two Carolina receivers, top 12 this year, but go after Jalen Coker and get him if you can't, or if you don't have him right now.
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:46.159
Um George Pickens weeks are coming.
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:49.440
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but very soon.
00:49:49.519 --> 00:50:02.239
This dude's an athletic freak, and CD has been putting up such huge numbs that defenses are gonna lock in, start double teaming, and um Pickens is gonna be the recipient of some some one-on-one coverage.
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:13.599
So uh speaking of exploding, an explosion coming in the next few weeks, uh Rashi Rice of the Chiefs has been underutilized to say the least the first two weeks.
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:26.639
Um, with with Kenneth Skywalker um dominating the league uh in the way that he's running, and Kelsey has made a re-emergence, looks like his old self, and uh Xavier Worthy has has looked like a number one.
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:28.320
So watch out for Rice.
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:31.280
He's gonna be coming uh onto the scene soon.
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:36.639
This week uh at quarterback, we're gonna run with Shook again and New Orleans.
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:42.320
Uh they're playing the Raiders, and I think that one's gonna be uh a back and forth battle.
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:52.000
Uh at running back, I like your boy Rashad White from Washington because the commanders are going to be down, and when they're down, they like to fill it up with White.
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.639
He had six grabs last week, uh, 14 points in fantasy.
00:50:56.800 --> 00:51:00.559
So he's a great yeah, he's super cheap.
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:12.159
Uh, I love his availability, and the fact that he's like a Travis Achan uh um you know from from New Orleans, in the fact that like he's a poor version of that.
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:16.159
Um but yeah, absolutely great value.
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:20.880
Manny Wilson, uh Emmanuel Wilson was with the Packers the last few years.
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:28.159
If Price, if Jadarian Price is out this week for Seattle, get Manny Wilson off the wire and start him.
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:29.440
He's a nice play.
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:35.199
Um, he's he's got experience, and look at his game chart, his game logs over the last two years.
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:42.159
When he's had multiple carries, like seven carries or more, he's put up double-digit numbers in fantasy.
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:44.079
Um, so I like him.
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:45.280
Sleeper right there.
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:45.920
I like that.
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:46.480
Right?
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:52.800
Trave on Henderson from the Patriots came back last week and and had a 39-yard touchdown run.
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:54.639
Um, I love the way he looks.
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:56.559
Uh, I loved him at Ohio State.
00:51:56.719 --> 00:51:59.599
Stevenson, Ramandre um fumbled last week.
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:00.880
Fumbled again, right?
00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.199
Yep, that's another one of his issues.
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:05.840
So, you know, the Patriots don't like fumblers.
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:08.079
I think Henderson could get a little more love.
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:11.360
Um, let's go tight end, dude.
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.920
I don't know if he's AI, a bot.
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:21.280
The fake deer in the Little Caesars commercial is more real than than than George Kittle.
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:24.719
But this dude is seriously a freak of nature.
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:34.320
He tore his Achilles in friggin' January, and somehow this guy's starting, and his backup, who was supposed to be the starter, Tongis, he's out for the year.
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:41.920
Somehow he couldn't even keep up with the recovery to to build towards playing for George, um, let alone actually being on the field.
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:43.599
So this guy's a freak of nature.
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.039
Keep firing him up.
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:49.199
Um, if if an owner is feeling a little wary about Kittle, go trade for him.
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.280
I don't care that he's 32, just go and get him.
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:54.719
He showed last week that he's gonna keep getting love from Purdy.
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:55.119
Yeah.
00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:59.920
Um, Schultz is the man in Houston right now with Nico out.
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:08.079
He had 10 for 140 last week, and he's he finished as the tight end number three last year as far as catches go.
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:11.920
So he's very under the radar, probably on your wire right now.
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:16.239
And then what Adam did last week with Carolina D, we're gonna fire him up again.
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:18.159
They're playing Cleveland.
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:23.199
Um, and then a couple ads off your wire, uh, if they're available.
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:27.119
Like we said last week, Bryce Young, he's the man uh in Carolina.
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:28.880
He finally looks to be emerging.
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:31.599
Go get Caleb Johnson of the Packers.
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:35.599
Um, he looks to be the one that's gonna take that timeshare.
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:41.440
Manny Wilson, we said, of the Seahawks, Trey Tucker and Keon Coleman at wide receiver.
00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:53.679
Um, both had really nice weeks last week and look to build off it, and they have some upside because they're young and could end up being uh the number one or number two in both of their offenses.
00:53:53.840 --> 00:54:01.280
And then go and get Zach Ertz because he just signed with the Eagles when God got hurt, and he's gonna be the number one.
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:05.440
He knows the offense, knows everybody around him, so that's gonna be an easy fit.
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:17.119
And then just breaking today, um, with Jonathan Brooks out for the next six weeks for the Panthers, um, the running back, um, Austin Eckler came into Carolina to work out today.
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:24.800
So former Washington uh and charger Austin Eckler, uh, if he signs with the Panthers, I like him.
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:25.519
I like him.
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:27.840
And and he stayed in shape during the offseason.
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:32.000
So um check is if he's on your wire, because I'm guaranteeing he is.
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:32.960
Yeah, for sure.
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:35.039
Unless you're in my league, because I already scooped him.
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:36.320
You already scooped him.
00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:38.000
Already scooped him.
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:40.159
All right, let's move on to college.
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:47.599
The game of the year, the only game that mattered in college football for the whole the bait to me, college football is over.
00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:51.840
LSU talk trash on Jaden.
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:53.280
It's over.
00:54:53.599 --> 00:55:00.480
Jaden uh now he Jaden goes out anyway, so maybe maybe it was a lose-lose for both of them.
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.280
But Ole Miss beats them.
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.079
LSU tried to make a comeback, but they couldn't do it.
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:08.719
Ole Miss didn't even rush the field.
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.519
They didn't need to because that this is an easy win for us.
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:12.800
We don't need to rush the field.
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:14.800
Beating bum ass LSU.
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:17.519
Uh Lane, of course, a crybaby.
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:21.760
You know, he was talking about, oh, I wish fans showed up like this when I coached here.
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:23.280
Just a crybaby.
00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:25.440
Um, and I'm glad they lost.
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:33.519
And, you know, now all I'm looking for, if Jaden doesn't come back, is Trinidad to be the quarterback of the Washington Commanders next season.
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:40.800
And but I also want to give a shout out, big fan, Rich Cock, aka Dick Cock.
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:45.679
I don't know, I never met this guy, but he texted Tony and he was happy for me.
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:58.159
He was happy for for uh for the game coming on, and he knew how how excited I must be to be watching a true championship team like Old Miss beat some bums LSU.
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:02.320
But now they got they got us uh favored to lose this week against Florida.
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:04.000
I I don't understand college football.
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:18.079
He he was watching the game w just for your purpose because he he's a big fan of the show, and he was literally like texting me, this must be so exciting right now for Adam because his fandom is on the line.
00:56:18.159 --> 00:56:22.800
I I and I was like, I can't I I can't imagine what Adam's dealing with right now.
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:30.719
But um, yeah, we were all tuned in just to see, and and your boys your boys prevailed, so at least you're with them for one more week.
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:33.760
Even if they lose, that that was that was all we needed.
00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:35.039
We just beat LSU.
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:36.480
Oh, okay, you're on now.
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:36.960
You're in.
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:38.000
I'm just a fan, yeah.
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:38.559
Because they beat it.
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:40.159
Locked in because lock it in.
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:42.480
As much trash as I talked on LSU.
00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:44.159
If we had lost that, I would have had to leave them.
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:46.559
The fact that we beat them, cool.
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:51.199
We beat it's like uh Okay, it's like it would be like Kansas, Missouri.
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:52.719
Like you beat your rival, you're good.
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:59.440
The whole and I don't even know if they were rivals before this season because I'm this is my first year as a fan.
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:01.519
Um so I have no idea.
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:03.440
He's 26.
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:06.079
But this 26 is oldness.
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:09.440
They were rivals, and they got us losing to Florida.
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:10.719
I can't believe this.
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.519
I actually have that as the upset of my week.
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:15.440
Yeah, that was my pick to click.
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:17.599
Thanks.
00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:19.360
I can't believe this.
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:23.199
So talk about you're the one who watches college.
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:24.400
What are you seeing for this week?
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:25.280
What did you see last week?
00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:33.360
I only have to you can't tell by my picks this year that I do watch college, but like I said, um, we're all in this boat together at the beginning of the season.
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:35.519
The first four weeks were learning teams.
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:44.960
I haven't given a a serious pick um, you know, since we started this show, but every week I'm kind of throwing out um some names and numbers that have not been hitting.
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:45.920
So I hope you haven't been.
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:48.079
I think you've been gaslighting me, to be honest.
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:50.639
I hope you've been gaslighting me when I taught college.
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.119
Um, but yeah, we're we're getting close now.
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:53.760
We're getting close.
00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:56.239
I'm starting to see um a few things develop.
00:57:56.400 --> 00:57:57.199
I will say this.
00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:01.280
My ducks came out last week and answered like I I thought they would against Portland State.
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:06.559
It was the biggest um win in in uh Audsen history in Eugene, 84-0.
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:12.559
So I'm not even I'm not even backed, I'm not even throwing a backdoor brag that we beat Portland State.
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:18.880
I'm not even, but this is the type of effort that that I wanted to see last week, and this made Daddy very happy.
00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:21.280
So, all right, we're gonna go now.
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.960
The Ducks are favored on the road at USC.
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:28.239
Um, and it don't even matter because I was taking them even if they were the dogs.
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:29.679
So we're going Ducks.
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:32.239
If they lose this game, that's the season.
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:33.360
I mean, that'll be the second longest.
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:34.320
Yeah, yeah.
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.400
That's a wrap.
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.960
Um, I'm going with Florida over.
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:39.920
Sorry, buddy.
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:41.840
Wow, what is Florida?
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:44.159
What they're back in the they're in the 20s.
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:45.599
What has Florida done?
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:47.039
The Gators, baby.
00:58:48.239 --> 00:58:48.880
Florida's done.
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:53.840
I'm telling you, uh Saturday night, Saturday nights are swampy in the south.
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:57.599
Um, so Oregon and Florida are both given three.
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.079
So those are really nice, uh, nice numbers.
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:08.000
The upset special um that we're looking at is well, not really an upset special, but um Washington.
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:09.199
I'm gonna go with Washington.
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:19.519
They're playing at 10 o'clock uh Central Time, um, or you know, Midwest time, but that's eight o'clock West Coast, Pacific Coast time.
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:23.280
Minnesota has never played that late, okay, on a Saturday night.
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:27.280
Um is what I'm trying to say.
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:29.760
So those fools are done.
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.400
Um blood in the water right there.
00:59:32.559 --> 00:59:37.920
And Washington's a tough Seattle's a tough place to play in, anyway, um uh at night on the weekends.
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:42.880
And then my upset special is Tennessee is taking down your boy Arch.
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:45.199
Tennessee's beating Texas.
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:47.360
Tennessee's beating Texas.
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:48.159
Dang.
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.199
This is what I want to know, though.
00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:55.039
Florida beat Florida Atlantic 66 to 21.
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:56.880
That's a high school team.
00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.320
Then the next week, 52 to 3, Campbell.
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:02.000
Like, I never even heard of Campbell.
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:03.119
They're called the Camels.
01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:07.360
Like, I mean, I'm looking at the logo and assuming that they're called the Camels.
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:10.000
Then they barely beat Auburn.
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:11.039
Yeah.
01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:19.599
Now they're gonna, now just they're gonna be home against the, you know, to me, I would say Texas, I would have it number one.
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:23.199
If I did the rankings, I would have Texas at number one because they beat Ohio State.
01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:24.880
I'd have Ole Miss at number two.
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:25.920
There you go.
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:26.559
Think about it.
01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.400
LSU beats it.
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:36.480
LSU beats Clemson and they they make LSU jump from like 17 to 8 ahead of Ole Miss.
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:41.519
And then Ole Miss beats LSU, and we just move up a few spots.
01:00:41.599 --> 01:00:42.559
Why are we not number two?
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:44.480
And now we're playing Florida.
01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:46.239
Because you're about to find out.
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:48.400
You're about to find out why you're not number two.
01:00:48.719 --> 01:00:50.559
Florida does this every year.
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:53.119
They have more athletes than they know what to do with.
01:00:53.199 --> 01:01:00.400
They're like Alabama, they could start their third stringers and they would be like a number one, um, you know, number ones for another another program.
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:05.599
But um, Florida's just got so much talent they don't know what to do with.
01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:08.000
And when you go to the swamp.
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:10.639
When you go to the swamp, yeah, exactly.
01:01:10.719 --> 01:01:16.000
They're just that's why they they plan some cupcakes at the beginning of the year because they're trying to figure out the system.
01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:21.199
And that's a great move for a brand new regime is just to get some cupcakes, some softies on the menu.
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:25.280
Um, and and now, first, you know, first big one.
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:35.199
And being in the swamp on a Saturday afternoon, 2 30 ABC, the the ghost of Keith Jackson circling the stadium.
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:37.519
I'm telling you, that's a tough place to play, bro.
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:38.719
Tough place to play.
01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:40.559
And and I like Chambliss.
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:41.280
I mean, Chambliss.
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:42.559
Get out of here.
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:42.960
Troy.
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:44.239
Chamber too lane.
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:46.159
This guy's awful.
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:48.960
We are not losing this game.
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:49.920
Alright.
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:52.079
Let's let's giddy up.
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:56.000
All right, here's the for soccer.
01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:00.719
Okay, last week, okay, the pod was already starting, but I gave out Barcelona minus two and a half.
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:03.199
They of course smashed this week.
01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:04.880
Is uh international ball.
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:07.280
So none of the, you know, so everyone's off.
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:08.559
All your club teams are off.
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:15.760
I don't bet international ball because they're it you never really know like what they're trying.
01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:23.760
The teams are aren't necessarily it's not that they're not trying to win, but they're more trying to see what they have, in my opinion.
01:02:24.079 --> 01:02:25.199
You tell me if I'm correct on this.
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:38.239
Yes, they're more trying to see what they have on, let's say, a young kid, or like they don't Argentina doesn't, besides for it's gonna be his like last Argentina game, they don't need to see what Messi is doing, you know, what he can do.
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:44.239
Yeah, he doesn't get called out to a lot of international service, you know, when it's not you know big cups, right?
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:44.639
Exactly.
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:45.840
I mean they're not even gonna waste it.
01:02:46.320 --> 01:03:02.960
This is stuff where you you might not really know what the team is trying to do, they might be just trying to say, Hey, can we let me put a new form in and see like if they can play this style of soccer or or this over here, um, and can these players do that?
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:05.360
And so I just I stay away.
01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:06.239
What about you?
01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:07.920
What what do you do on this?
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:12.880
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, um it I I stay away too.
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:20.000
I like to just bet on basically, you know, as far as international times go, I like to bet the Euro Cup and the World Cup.
01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:22.880
And everything else I kind of stay away from.
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:31.599
Um, if you're desperate, uh, I can give you a couple I can give you a couple degenerative plays um that could work for you.
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:37.760
But namely, I'm gonna give you the player that you need to look for in the lineup, and if they're not there, then stay away.
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.880
So soccer this week, we got Norway versus Denmark.
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:47.280
This is always usually a nice Scandinavian battle, but Norway has become a new team with with a la Alland.
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:58.559
Um and if he's in the lineup, uh it I don't even know if he was if he was called, you know, onto the onto the team uh for this break since the World Cup just happened.
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:02.960
They might be giving him a rest, but if he's available, lock him up.
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.559
Portugal, it doesn't matter if Ronaldo's there.
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:09.519
I uh and I'm sick of people thinking that he makes a difference.
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:11.519
Portugal is so loaded with talent.
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:15.599
Um they are long past the days of needing Cristiano.
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:18.480
Um I think it's a hindrance now, too.
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:20.559
Like I think it is, and it was in the World Cup.
01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:20.960
You're exactly.
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:24.000
It was a hindrance for sure.
01:04:24.159 --> 01:04:25.280
They're playing Wales.
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:30.639
Um, Wales hasn't been good um since Gareth Bale in his prime.
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:33.440
So um, and then the other one is Austria.
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:37.599
They're playing Israel, who just got relegated from from group A.
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:39.920
Um, and now they're playing in B for the first time.
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:40.960
And I love Austria.
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:42.559
David Alabah.
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.440
Um Israel took a big win on the Ed Sheeran tour, though.
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:46.000
So I don't know.
01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:50.719
They might be already they might they they might that might have been their Super Bowl right there.
01:04:52.159 --> 01:04:54.800
They they got everybody kicked off that tour.
01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:59.199
So that they might they might not even be thinking about soccer.
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.960
They got they got Ed Sheeran.
01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:03.760
And he what he he owns another soccer team.
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:06.000
Man, that is phenomenal.
01:05:06.079 --> 01:05:08.880
That yeah, that's that's good work right there.
01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:24.800
Um so the the international breaks are tricky, and that goes even for the club teams because the international breaks come and your club team could lay off of you the week before you go just to give you some extra rest before you go on this break.
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:29.920
Or vice versa, on the opposite end, when you come back, they might give you a little extra rest.
01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:38.320
So, just that's another reason to be careful with the with the club teams, especially during the week, um, just off fresh off an international break.
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:39.360
That's very tricky.
01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:42.719
And uh, it's good advice from Adam, just to just stay away from that in general.
01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:56.079
Just go after the Euro Cup, go after the World Cup, um, international gambling, but stay away from the friendlies, especially because nobody cares, and um you really don't know what you're getting from game to game.
01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:06.159
But if you're bored, you got a hinkering for football, uh Or soccer, um, you know, at this point, then the MLS can be useful.
01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:07.519
Uh I know, I know, I know.
01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:08.400
I'll wait for you to stop it.
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:11.119
Tony fired off some MLS bets for me.
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:15.119
I want I want everyone, you know, to stop laughing.
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:16.719
So I'll I'll I'll wait for that.
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:27.440
But um, no, I I I gave you a good hit on Nashville last week, but you know, Colorado is an example of why the MLS can be a pain in the ass.
01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:40.639
I will say the best value in soccer gambling comes from the MLS because you won't get a game above 200, negative 200, you know, where you're putting out more than 200 to get 100 back and winning.
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:43.440
So the value's always there with the MLS.
01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:52.880
And a lot of times you can get a plus number, like a plus 105, plus 120 of a home team um if they're playing a decent um road opponent.
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:55.440
So the MLS can be very useful to you.
01:06:55.599 --> 01:06:59.440
Do not go crazy, don't put your you know, inheritance on it.
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:08.639
Uh, I'm talking like a couple hundred dollar bets here and again, and even if you lose a hundred dollar bet, isn't that the best bet to lose, though, bro?
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:12.880
Because you can seriously get that back with your next one or your next one after that.
01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:15.679
It's it's the ones where we bet 300, right?
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:20.000
And then we lose, and then you need three bets just to get you back.
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:23.840
And when you're scrambling like that, you're always gonna end up losing, right?
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:26.400
And you're gonna be be going down further.
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:30.960
So um, yeah, the MLS is great for that, good value.
01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:40.480
Um, I usually like to go with the two or three best teams in the league for that season at home, and I'll only do this on weekends.
01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:49.679
So Messi, anytime he's at home, uh anytime, Messi, anytime anywhere, I'm going with Messi um uh uh on the weekends.
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:55.679
Nashville this season has become one of the best, if not the best, home team uh in the league.
01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:02.880
Colorado's good at home, but we saw they they had a 3-1 lead late last week that I that I gave you, and unfortunately, I apologize.
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:03.920
They they gave up the show.
01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:08.880
Tony texted me like I thought I already hit the bet because I wasn't paying attention.
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:14.159
And and then he told me, literally, specifically gave me instructions not to parlay.
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:17.279
Uh, but of course I said, I'm not listening to that.
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:21.439
So I bet them both even uh single bets and then parlayed them both.
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:26.319
And yeah, Colorado was winning with like nine it like what 80 minutes left.
01:08:26.399 --> 01:08:28.880
They were up 3-1 and they ended up drawing.
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:29.520
Drawing.
01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:30.880
Um, but so yeah.
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:31.680
So I lost it.
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:33.439
Nashville Cruise, 3-0.
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:35.199
But yeah, that's that's the thing.
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:47.199
The the the teams are so pathetic in the MLS that sometimes you'll have to make sure that you're watching a pro team and not a high school soccer game in America because it is so bad sometimes.
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:50.800
Um, and I usually don't watch the games, uh, the MLS games.
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:52.159
I I can't stomach them.
01:08:52.319 --> 01:08:54.800
So um I'll just keep checking the score.
01:08:54.960 --> 01:08:56.880
Um, but yeah, I love home teams.
01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:58.880
And this year, the other one is Vancouver.
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:04.319
Vancouver spent a lot of money in the offseason, um, and they are on fire right now.
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:06.960
They're actually the hottest team in the league um at home.
01:09:07.199 --> 01:09:08.159
So, yep.
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:10.880
All right, that's that's good insights on the MLS.
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.439
Now, you said only on the week weekends.
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:15.119
Uh I don't follow MLS.
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:20.319
Do they only play on the weekends or you own or the weekend games just the bigger ones?
01:09:20.399 --> 01:09:22.880
Like why you say only bet on the weekends?
01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:28.880
It's it's I've never seen any consistency in MLS during the week.
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:33.680
Um, you know, where you can see some teams travel well.
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:44.319
Um, most teams don't travel well, but during the week you can see the most off brand, the worst road team somehow win or draw on the road.
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:46.560
It's just I've never seen any consistency.
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:50.479
It's a crapshoot of chaos, to be honest, um, during the week.
01:09:50.560 --> 01:09:53.600
And a lot of time, I mean, I don't have I don't have time for that.
01:09:53.760 --> 01:10:04.239
And there's so many other soccer leagues um going on during the week that I can catch in in Europe um and elsewhere that I'd rather throw money on actual skillful, you know what I mean?
01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:20.239
And I'm not saying the MLS isn't skillful, um, but you're getting either Messi's best friends and retirees who used to be the GOAT, or you're getting dudes who are barely hanging on by a thread and are never gonna go anywhere um, you know, to play soccer besides America.
01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:28.880
But um, you know, in in years past, or I mean in weekends past, I I've told you that I like to go to smaller leagues and get the most dominant teams.
01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:37.760
So, like this year I've told you Belgium, Clue, Klu Bruges, uh, Croatia is Hedric split, Sweden is Sirius.
01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:45.680
Um, and if Sirius is playing a team that's middle tier or below, um, even on the road, I like to ride them.
01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:52.479
They're dominant this year, and that's one of those rare teams that Homer Road, they're just gonna they're gonna walk away with the league.
01:10:52.560 --> 01:10:56.159
They're gonna be up by 20, 25 points um at the end of the season.
01:10:56.239 --> 01:11:01.199
So, and another one of my favorites all time is is from the Ukraine League, Shaktar, Dontsek.
01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:05.840
Um, especially at home, these dudes are uh are undeniable.
01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:08.880
And you know who else is crushing this year that we gave out at the beginning?
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:13.600
Was Porto, and Porto just beat Benfica like 3-1 or something.
01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:21.920
They might be my favorite club team of all club teams, um, outside of you know a couple English premiere and sp and La Liga teams.
01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:25.359
Yeah, I love Porto, always have something about them.
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:26.640
They're magical.
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:29.039
All right, well, let's see how we do this week.
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:31.920
I mean, I'm cruising on a two-week win.
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:36.800
I haven't lost uh fantasy uh DraftKings yet because of Tony's help.
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:39.279
We're gonna see if that works again this week.
01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:41.600
We're gonna try to hit the parlays, the teasers.
01:11:42.479 --> 01:11:48.479
Yeah, but the only thing that I the only thing I hope Tony gave out that was wrong was I hope Florida doesn't win.
01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:49.840
I I I hope old miss.
01:11:50.079 --> 01:11:53.199
I hope Tony's wrong on that, and I hope old miss cruises again.
01:11:54.560 --> 01:12:00.159
Sit all your bears in fantasy, please, until he comes back.
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:01.600
Yeah, all right.
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:03.359
Shout out, Vic Cop.
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:04.720
See you guys next week.
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:05.600
Big dick
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.440
Alright, we're back.
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:11.279
Week four of the podcast.
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:22.239
And I mean, I took a beating in real life on my bets, but the bets from the from the pod were actually kind of hitting my parlay plus 271.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.440
Hopefully you bet your entire life savings on that.
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.600
I mean, it was looking rough.
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:29.440
Eagles barely pulled it out.
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.280
Green Bay barely pulled it out.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:37.679
And Carolina, who I was most afraid of, just came out and smashed the Falcons.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.119
The Falcons are trash.
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:47.679
Um let's talk a little bit about let's talk a little bit about last week because two things happened that were bad for the pod.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.520
One, we'll start in the NFC North.
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.640
There was a team, the Chicago Bears.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.759
It was SIGs the first week, it was Cigars the second week.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:06.079
You were celebrating the Super Bowl, coming, you know, just having to roll through Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.519
And now, what do you think of the hamstring?
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.359
I mean, have you ever pulled a hamstring?
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.200
Much of straight drug abuse, bro.
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.400
Now I'm just smoking weed over here, not caring about life.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.959
Is it legal in Wisconsin?
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.000
It's not.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:20.480
It's not.
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.079
So they're definitely breaking the law.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.760
We're breaking the law on the pod.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:26.239
Okay.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.719
Dude, and I had to cross state border, state lines to get this.
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:32.159
To obtain it, huh?
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.680
Shout out, Michigan.
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:34.799
Um, yeah.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.920
So I've been holding this tantrum in, as you know, since Sunday.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.840
Um, people have been you know texting me all week, like, oh, what do you think?
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:44.319
What do you think?
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.719
And I'm like, I'm holding it in for today.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.599
We're getting everything right now, but again, the floor is yours.
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.400
Let's see what the state of the bears are.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:58.480
I I don't even know where to begin with the emotional roller coaster that was Sunday.
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.719
Because when Caleb went down originally, I text, you know, all my boys like Achilles, like right away.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:11.520
I usually, I usually am pretty good about when I see an injury on the floor, uh, I usually know it before the broadcaster knows.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:19.199
But uh, just by the way a guy, you know, holds something, or or you know, I've seen it happen so many times that it's just you know kind of natural uh for me to see it.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:30.960
But Caleb's way, the way he fell down was was so awkward because it gave, it was giving uh Achilles, but really he felt something in his hammy and then kind of just fell on his own.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.879
He put himself uh in that in that awkward position, falling back on it um on his back.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:46.879
But I don't even know why the play got to this to this point because he had Colston Loveland in front of him, and all he had to do was dump it off, and this dude walks into the end zone.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:57.199
But instead he calls him to block, and then he wants to take it in himself the last five or six yards, but it's a rainy day, it's it's absolute garbage in the red zone.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.159
Soldier field is notorious, one of the the worst turf, you know, field service forever.
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:10.639
They they fixed it in the last few years, you know, but um still it it's it's something that that has to be, you know, has to be known.
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:25.520
Um and then the way he came off, you know, he was carted off the field, he had the towel over his head, he was crying, he was giving, you know, the thumbs up as if he, you know, tore every ligament in his body and was like, I'll be back next year, you know, win one for the Gipper.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:34.479
I'm so confused because now they're like it's a grade one strain of the hammy, and he might, you know, he's not even out yet for this week.
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.599
He's doubtful, but he's not even completely out yet.
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.360
What was the dramatics?
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.879
I mean, I know he's you know, is used to living in Hollywood.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.719
Um, but what was that?
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:55.120
He made every fan in Chicago, I mean, every Bear fan across the world, I mean, hold our breath and continue to hold it long into Monday because they're like, we're gonna do further testing.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.039
And usually they wait the second day for uh imaging simply to let the swelling go down.
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:11.360
But with a hammy, I I'm not sure, you know, there was that much swelling or or or um, you know, something that needed to be weighted overnight, but it it was ominous.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:17.360
And and the Bears have never been, you know, trusting and and truthworthy with with their own fan base.
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.920
They've never been um very upfront.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:29.680
So it's always kind of, you know, Rex is our quarterback, this kind of thing, this week to week, you know, updates, but we never are are fully in the uh in the know.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.439
And this just feels ominous.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.959
It feels weird, it it feels like they're holding something back from us.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.360
Um, even after people announced that it was Hammy and my friends were texting me, it's not the Achilles.
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.759
I'm like, they're lying, it's still the Achilles.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.319
Um but yeah, it's just a weird situation, and and I don't know what to make of it, um, still to this point.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.079
Uh I don't know why, with the way that he went off.
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.600
Uh same thing.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:04.879
Like, every you looked at the and you just go, okay, Torres Achilles, like he can't walk off the field, he got carted, he has a towel over his head, he knows something is bad.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.920
Yeah, I I've strained my hamstring.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.839
I was, you know, I don't know, I don't want to brag.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.040
We're 40, bro.
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.120
We we strained our hammy getting out of bed.
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:19.360
But I was I was on a on an all-star Nashville rec league kickball team back in the day.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:19.839
Hell yeah.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:29.040
And in the finals, hell yeah, you know, I kick it, I'm running to first, and I still I want to uh let the record show I still got to first base and made it on base.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.720
But I pulled my hamstring or strained it or something.
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.800
I had to take myself out of the game, but I I walked over to the sidelines.
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:37.839
Damn.
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.639
But you know, uh You took it you took it like like a like a G.
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.439
You walked off.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:44.800
I walked off.
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.439
I didn't put the towel over my head, I gave the fans what they wanted.
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:56.560
You know, I waved to our to our fans, but I you know, but that's that's what that it's uh I would take.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.959
Yeah, we were we were a top team, Tony.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.240
I love to hear this.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:03.040
I love this making.
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.639
But it, you know, we were a top team.
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.639
Because it was co-ed, so husbands and boyfriends too.
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:11.839
I like it even more.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.480
Uh this is the first time I smiled since Sunday, so thank you.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.040
Thank you.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.560
I mean, I got a trophy.
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.319
I got my trophy up there for uh for for our team.
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.199
But here's uh um that's not a participation champion.
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:34.879
I'll give you I'll give you a quick this was good, but the first year we made the championship, um I uh we were undefeated and and we just ran through the season.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.639
We we were crushing.
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:42.000
And so I we were called the one kick wonders, like one hit wonders because it was a bunch of people in the music industry.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:53.519
And so I shaved, I went to like a black barber shop and shaved one kick wonders into my head, and I wore a beanie because it was like fall, you know, cold in Tennessee.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:01.360
I wore a beanie, and and so all we had, we we just had to win this one game, I think, and it was the championship.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:17.839
So I'm like, all right, at the end, like before like last inning, I'm gonna pull it out and just like let everybody know, like, where the chance we got smoked in the championship, and I had and I had one kick wonder shaved in my head for an entire winter.
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.959
Um, yeah, did you reveal?
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:21.920
Was there a reveal?
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.360
We were getting smashed, but I was like, guys, I did this to my head.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.519
Like now I feel so dumb.
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.920
Um, but yeah, had it shaved, had it shaved into my into my head.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.160
Uh so that's my little kickball tangent.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:56.319
But as a kickball player, I had a hamstring industry injury, and I don't understand why the trainers didn't already know it was a hamstring industry injury, and then they could just tell people, like, oh hey, reporter that's reporting, yeah, they're like he didn't tear his Achilles, like you would think they would have known right away.
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.199
Like, I didn't hear anyone say Achilles, it was just me.
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.879
It was just, you know, no, but it was the entire world.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:19.199
Like, if the reporters on Twitter and probably looking, going, Oh, he tore his Achilles because of the way he acted, like, right, why wouldn't you say on the broadcast, like, hey, he's not coming back, but we're not looking at a serious injury right here, you know.
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:24.560
Maybe a couple weeks he misses, you know, just depending on how how he can rehab.
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:34.080
Maybe he's back next week, you know, like depending like if it was like would that be the first guy ever to be carted off and then play a week and a half later.
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.480
Wow, what a Hollywood ending!
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:37.840
What a Hollywood, yeah.
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.440
Make the make the movie better.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.919
So you guys had that in Chicago.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.679
That was in the early game.
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:44.320
Yep.
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:50.320
And then we had And then you man, we had Jasus is no longer named Jasus.
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.879
He's no longer the Lord and Savior.
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.440
I have to get he was my favorite player that we had.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:05.679
Um, and you can see when he's on the field why it's worth keeping him around because we were gonna win that game.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:13.759
Uh, he had a bomb to um, I forget who it was, uh, Antonio Williams, maybe, and he overthrew him just a little bit.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:15.600
But that was a missed touchdown.
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.919
Even Mariota threw a touchdown to Diami Brown that they called no touchdown.
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:31.120
But Jaden was coming in, we were gonna tie the game, and he put his he got tripped up by our center and puts his arm on the ground and snaps his elbow.
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:39.279
And it was wild, it's just then threw the ball up, and then it was like, oh, look at his elbow, it's coming out of his arm the wrong way.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.440
Like, all right, well, that's it.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.159
And so now they're saying if he comes with the brace, he could be back in like four or five weeks.
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.559
But this is his third year.
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:57.120
He the first year was a major injury, but yeah, it's like the second, you know, last year he missed most of his games.
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.759
This year it's looking like, alright, he maybe he misses four to five weeks.
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.559
We're terri I mean, we're already 0-2.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.320
Mariota is not gonna get us, you know, wins.
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.080
So do you is it even worth him coming back?
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:16.240
But then aren't you mad though at at your coach?
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.240
I mean Mr.
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:18.799
Mr.
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.559
Hard Nips himself.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.399
What is he doing?
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.240
Go for the field goal, dude.
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.000
I'm fine with tying it up.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.960
I'm fine with it's just the last play of the first half.
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.080
You're you're cool with that play?
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.080
I'm fine with because we would have got a touchdown.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:32.879
It's Jesus.
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:33.679
Hmm.
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:35.679
Right, right, right.
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:37.200
I keep forgetting.
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:44.879
You just bet that the guy can't put his body weight on his fingertips for three seconds without his elbow snapping.
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.240
Um and I don't blame the is clearly not adding enough protein.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:58.960
Yeah, I don't blame the coats for for being like, hey, you know, hopefully our quarterback won't have to put his fingertips on the ground this play.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.480
Um so I mean I think Dan Quinn is gone.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.759
I think this is gonna be his last year.
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:11.039
We're gonna need a scapegoat anyways for not be, you know, for making the NFC title game and then being bad the last two years.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:24.720
And really, a scapegoat is just injuries, but I don't see how unless Jaden takes a team-friendly deal going into his fourth season next year, we're gonna have to decide whether to give him the fifth-year option.
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:37.279
And unless he's gonna take a team-friendly deal where he's not making, you know, 30 40 million dollars a year to play quarterback, which we probably would have had to give him if if he had done well again this year.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:43.039
If we suck this year, just there's a bunch of good quarterbacks coming out.
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:52.720
Just like I'm ready to trade Terry, I'm ready to trade Diggs, I'm ready to trade anyone with any value except for Tunzel and Cosby and Sonny Stall.
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.919
Aging wide receivers that you just signed.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.720
Sure, sure.
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.360
No, but like, could we could would someone give us a second or third for Terry?
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:08.000
Like, I I don't think that it's impossible that you know that people would do that two years ago for sure.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:19.759
Even now, I don't think I mean a third round pick, like I don't think anybody's like if you're you know I love Scary Terry, but he's been non-existent this season, and even when they have thrown to him, he just doesn't look like himself.
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:29.039
But here here's something if you're the Rams and Puka is out, do you say, okay, I will go get Diggs, or we'll go get Terry for a third round pick.
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.200
I mean, Diggs is on a one-year contract, so really, like go get Diggs.
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.399
If you're the 49ers, Terry's 30, though, too.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.360
I mean, you know what I mean?
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.519
But his contract is short because when he did that holdout, we didn't end up paying him a bunch.
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.799
So it's not a terrible his isn't even a terrible contract to take on.
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:54.799
But if he would be who I take on, he would it would be it would be F1, you know, not Diggs, but it would be scary Terry that I would take on the street.
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.919
Is is Terry a number one receiver right now?
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.960
He's not playing like that.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.360
And I've been fighting people that you know about that his entire career.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.159
I think he is.
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.039
I think he was.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.799
He was for sure, yeah.
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:07.200
Right.
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:14.399
And right now, um, you know, it's getting to that age where he's he's he's at the end of his prime, and we're gonna see.
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:19.200
I mean, like well, like we said last week, give everyone three to four weeks of grace period.
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.480
That's their preseason.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:28.799
And then when we see everyone in football shape, you know, around week four, that that's when we're gonna be able to tell if these guys are done or if they were just getting, you know, warmed up.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:34.399
But I think with Mariota throwing him, I mean, I don't to me, I don't I don't I want our third stringer to to play.
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.559
We got some rookie that we drafted.
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.080
Just let him play.
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.759
Yeah because I I at this point I don't want to win games.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.039
Uh I don't think, well, it's not that I don't want to win games.
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:51.279
I don't think we're gonna win with Mariota, but I think maybe we have a better shot, you know, at okay.
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.759
I mean, he's still bad, but like maybe he gives us a better shot.
00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:02.639
He might not make as many mistakes as this rookie who would probably come in and throw you know two picks a game.
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:13.440
Um, but at least we'll be bad and we can go get one of these like you know, if we get a top three pick, which if you're looking at the league, I mean, I know it's only two weeks.
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.039
Miami, I think, is for sure the worst team in the league.
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.159
And then I mean, who else is that who else is like really, really, really bad?
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.840
Atlanta sucks, but now they're finally gonna get Penix.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:33.840
I mean, I don't think Penix is good anyways, but at least they'll have, you know, not their third string quarterback in.
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:34.399
Yeah.
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.320
Um the Titans are great.
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.759
Cleveland already won the game.
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.519
The Titans, I think Miami and the Titans.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.360
Did we tell you about Cleveland last week?
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:41.919
We talked about it.
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:50.399
They're the worst team in the league in week one, and then week two in the NFL, recency bias, everyone still has them as the worst team in the NFL the next week.
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.440
And look what happens.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.039
I mean, I'm even guilty of it.
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.320
In our survivor pool, I'm all I already lost another team.
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:02.240
It's week three, and I've lost two out of the three damn teams I've had because I keep going against what I keep saying on the show.
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:03.840
You gotta listen to the show.
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.440
You've been crushing on the show.
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.159
You gotta listen.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.799
You've been giving up.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.879
I'm going against my own self.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.600
So I'm a little bit.
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.600
I'm the ultimate self-sabotager.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.120
I mean, I'm textbook.
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:15.919
Dang.
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.519
So I think but I think we could get something for Terry.
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.120
I think we could get something for Diggs.
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:22.399
Like, 49ers.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.080
Mike Evans is already, you know, he's not out, but he's already dinged up.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.360
They're wide, they've already got two other wide receivers who are out.
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:37.600
So, like, can you go get Terry or Diggs to just keep you know having someone that I mean Diggs has been good this year for us.
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.000
I mean, he's got three touchdowns already.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:49.519
Um but I just don't at this point, I'm just like, we can't really trust that Jaden's gonna ever be fully healthy.
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.080
So unless he gives us a team-friendly deal, try to trade him next year.
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:03.519
Like, you know, see if there's a team out there that wants to take a risk, or just keep him on he's on his rookie contract, have him fight it out with whoever we draft.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.960
And if he can beat him out and he makes it through the season, great.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.639
Then we've got a Kirk Cousins situation where we gotta franchise him for two years if he's actually good.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.799
And, you know, it is what it is, but we also have a quarterback in the waiting.
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:26.000
You know, maybe my boy Trinidad, you know, I've never gotten to root for a quarterback in college and then get him on my NFL team.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.000
So maybe, maybe we're bad enough that we get my boy Trinidad.
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.799
Um what else did you see?
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.200
So let's talk about the recency bias.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.960
I mean, the the Browns won.
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:50.399
Um, people were also talking about uh how bad the Chargers were, but then everybody kind of picked them to win again, and then now maybe the Chargers are just bad.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.200
Yeah.
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:52.879
Arizona came back to life.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.919
Everyone thought the Cardinals were better than they were, and everyone thought the Patriots had just fallen off a cliff.
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.279
Um Giants lost their quarterback, so you can't really say much for that.
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.359
But I mean that's another unfortunate situation.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.839
I mean, he got hurt on the first possession, too.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.200
Yeah, lots of quarterbacks.
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.960
They didn't even get out the gate.
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.079
They didn't even give Giants fans, you know, and that's what New York loves to do.
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.920
Rogers blew out his Achilles first possession, dark, he's gone for the year.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.519
I mean, it's terrible.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:40.960
It it is really, I mean, and it's rough when you lose your QB for the year so early, too, because then you're just like especially if you were the Giants, like you know that Jameis isn't taking you uh to the to the playoffs.
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.359
Um so then it's like, okay, do we go do we go get Flacco?
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.039
Let's not throw my boy Jameis under the bus.
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.920
Shout out to Rich.
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.839
Um another another lover of Jameis, famous Jameis.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.319
But uh So you think you think uh you think Jameis could do it?
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.599
Dude, Jameis is my guy, but but this is the situation.
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:09.599
Like you were just you were going down the right path, and I and I interrupted you um rudely, but um with these backup quarterbacks, you're not aiming for the Super Bowl anymore.
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.279
There's no more upside with these guys.
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:17.359
All you're hoping for is to sneak into the playoffs through the back door and maybe win a game in the first round.
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.279
But uh, yeah, your your actual hope for the season is dead.
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:32.000
And how do you think Jameis uh being a World Cup correspondent this summer and not practicing football helps him in the season coming up for the NFL?
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:38.079
For Jameis, someone like famous Jameis, who was drafted as a major league pitcher or outfielder as well.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.559
Um, I think it makes him better because he wasn't overthinking anything.
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:46.000
You know, he was he was worried about soccer and and and world.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.400
He was maybe learning from the world's best.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.000
He was learning from the world's best.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:56.079
And when you're when you're at that stage, I mean it's just you're dealing with the elite, the elite of the elite.
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.720
And and when when we talk about elite in America, we're talking about Jameis Winston, okay?
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:10.319
Um whether he's just being a normal person on the street, um, or an NFL quarterback, you know, by day.
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.759
Even even if he wants to throw on the old spikes and and and and the glove, plays play baseball.
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.279
I didn't know he played baseball.
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.519
Did he play baseball at Florida State too?
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:21.039
Oh, bro, yeah.
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.319
He was dominant.
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.359
He got drafted.
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:24.640
I had no idea.
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:25.519
Oh my god.
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.440
He was one of the best baseball players in the country.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:27.920
Yeah.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.640
Dang.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:29.440
Yeah.
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.240
Good for him.
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.319
And then and then he stole a crab, a crab leg in his entire career and his trajectory changed.
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.319
That was all I knew about him, besides Didn't he won the national championship.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.279
I think I bet on, right?
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.400
Didn't he win the national championship?
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:42.799
Yep.
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.119
Yep.
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.160
I think I bet I think I bet on that, on him to win.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.440
Dude, he was he was on top of the world at one point.
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.960
And I mean, his athleticism, just incredible.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.440
But the only thing is, you know, you can't fault him that much when he entered the NFL.
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.640
He's a gunslinger.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.359
You know what I mean?
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.039
He just he does not worry about the coverage.
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.960
He's a guy, he's a guy that forces to his number one receiver, no matter where he goes and what he does.
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:11.440
So if you're in fantasy, look at Malik Neighbors.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:17.119
If he's on the field, Jameis is gonna be feeding him crab legs all game.
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.680
You know who I looked to this Monday night?
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.960
I did a uh I did Rams minus uh six and a half, which hit.
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:28.240
And then I did Rams money line plus Isaiah Likely.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:32.000
Uh four uh four plus catches when we got there.
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:33.119
There you go.
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:34.079
Nicely done.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.920
You you're just absolutely destroying.
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.480
I I want to apologize last week about you know giving Stroud out.
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.160
That was another recency bias.
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:47.440
It actually worked.
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.559
He threw he he led the league in passing yards last week.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.720
352 yards, but he didn't throw no touchdowns of any kind.
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.039
So I do want to apologize for that.
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.960
I I I need to get better, you know.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.119
I I need to give you guys at least a touchdown on a side.
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:08.960
Well, I don't think you can blame Stroud for that loss, but I mean they had like 18 rushing yards or something, something crazy like that.
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.680
For sure.
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:15.519
But non-existent my Super Bowl pick of Houston Texans is not looking so hot.
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.759
The Seattle side is looking good.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.079
The Houston Texans, I don't know.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:28.079
I mean, starting 0-2 uh is bad, but I think last year they started 0-3 and still made the playoffs because their division sucks.
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:36.319
So I mean so that you know they could they there's nobody in their division that's 2-0.
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.440
So it's not like they're you know, they're really only one game behind the leader of their division.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:50.240
And so they're they're not out yet, but it and and they play Buffalo, who looks like I mean, that was your Super Bowl pick.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.920
They look legit.
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:58.000
And Cincy usually comes out slow, but this year has come out fast.
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.759
And because I'm not bad.
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.519
This is the one year I haven't put them in our survivor pool.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.440
And of course, this is the would have advanced me.
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.279
Well, no, talk about the surface.
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.079
Oh no, go ahead.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.480
Go ahead.
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.799
Yeah, no, no, because I'm not going to move on the survivor.
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.920
How depressing my life is that my Bears scored 59 last week.
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.519
I'm on top of the world smoking cigars in the studio.
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.319
And then let's fast forward seven days.
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:29.920
Dude, I'm already activating my secondary team, which is the you know the Hawks.
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.799
Like, so this is not even week three.
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.400
We're not even here yet.
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:35.920
Well, what is life?
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.200
Like, what's the meaning?
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.680
It's certainly not pro football, tell you that.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.359
And now they say uh your backup is in concussion protocol, too.
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.119
When did he get a concussion?
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:46.160
When did he play?
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:55.440
He threw four boxes that all looked like he had someone had stolen the thunder from his arm and put it into the opposite arm.
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.119
I don't know what he was doing.
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.799
Uh, you know, my boy Rich said that he was throwing up 500 balls.
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:01.359
You know what I mean?
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.599
You're like 500! Everyone had a shot at his pass.
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:08.880
I don't know what he was doing.
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:10.559
He had so much space, too.
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:19.440
These guys were given a lot of respect, but hopefully that was just because of the the the weather conditions, and maybe he has really tiny hands like like Charlie's.
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:30.640
Like, you know, it was kind of a big spot because they were still in it to win uh when he was there.
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.000
How many chances did they have?
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:36.240
Yeah, like nothing chances to friggin' win this game.
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:44.480
I mean, Minnesota just kept saying, you know what, we're not gonna score a touchdown, we're just gonna kick a couple more points and and and here you guys go.
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.799
No, no, no, thanks, Tyson said.
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.440
No thanks.
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:54.799
And we signed this dude to a two-year extension this year because you know, everyone in the city's obsessed with him.
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.240
Uh, Ben loves him.
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:04.400
Um, this guy was an absolute D2, you know, Division I double A, whatever stud uh in college, and he just never got a chance.
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:14.480
And he should be, he could be starting for a number of NFL teams at quarterback, but um, you know, we could have traded him in the offseason like we did with Justin Fields a few years ago.
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.759
Give him an opportunity to play because we like him so much.
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:23.759
But Ben was so adamant that we needed to have him as the backup for Caleb, which is fine.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.880
Um, and and we were all behind him.
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.359
I I I've been on this dude since day one.
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:34.240
I I loved him in college, and I I think he's a hell of an athlete, and I like the way you know he was raised.
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.119
And uh I wonder what they could have got for him.
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.000
That's what I'm saying.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.200
That's what I'm saying.
00:24:40.079 --> 00:25:08.000
If Caleb was still fine, you know, or didn't get this, like if he had just finished the game, whatever, and no no injury at all, would the Giants have been looking at him as somebody like, all right, look, let's, you know, trade for him, and maybe you guys could have, you know, got something, and the Giants are really over thinking, like, hey, we could win the division, you know, if we just have somebody who's not gonna throw a bunch of interceptions.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:19.680
But last week, so I mean I think the big shocker was the Saints, at least for me, was the Saints actually beating the Ravens.
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:24.079
I know you've been on the the Ravens, I mean the Saints and the Ravens too.
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.400
Yeah, but I mean no more archmanning for the Saints.
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.240
That's a I don't know.
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.480
But that was that was a big one.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:49.039
The Eagles, I I can I don't I mean they they looked bad against us, um, the Commanders week one, but it was also week one, um, and then they looked bad against the Titans, but then it was like 150 degrees on the field or something, and Saquon goes out.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:51.279
I think getting an IV, right?
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.759
Yeah, so it's like you I mean that game I can't really take anything from that.
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:05.039
Um the Browns beat the Buccaneers, um, you know, the like we said, the Raiders beat the Chargers, the Broncos beat the Jags.
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.359
I mean, it was it was close.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:21.759
Um, but like, and then the Colts like that was another recency bias where I like the Broncos, and the Broncos looked dead in the water two weeks ago, and people were writing them off, and everyone had the Jags in the Super Bowl.
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.160
So yeah, that's just the NFL duce reminding you every week.
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:27.680
Don't worry about last week.
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.960
Don't worry about last week.
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:33.759
Yeah, the Chiefs, you know, bare you know, barely hanging on to beat the Colts.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.920
Um, but let's move on to this week.
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:38.480
Yep.
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.079
This week, let's start with the since you were talking about the Survivor.
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.279
All right, I haven't lost yet.
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.359
Both my teams you haven't, you're still alive.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:46.960
I'm still alive for both of them.
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.839
I've had three entries when we started two weeks ago, and now I have one.
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.960
And they're all I'm only alive because of your Steeler pick last week, bud.
00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:58.240
Okay.
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.559
Oh my so here's who I've got going.
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.759
I've got Seattle, I'm taking them now against the Commanders.
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:17.279
Yeah, and I'm taking uh I'm taking Sincy, which I don't know who are they playing again this this week.
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.119
I've I've got I have them written down.
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:30.160
Oh, they're playing the Steelers in Pittsburgh, but here's the thing This is probably not a game you should pick on the Survivor pool because it's a division away.
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:35.200
But here's the thing Pittsburgh cannot move the football.
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:41.759
They're they're one to two weeks away from the Penn State guy being the quarterback in Pittsburgh.
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.799
Because they have to take Rogers out.
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.319
They can't move the football.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:51.680
They couldn't move the football against the Falcons, they couldn't move the football against the Patriots.
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.480
So I'm out.
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:54.720
That's why I picked the Pats like last week.
00:27:54.799 --> 00:28:00.799
It was it wasn't the how bad the Pats offense looked, it was how bad the the Steelers' offense looked.
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:07.200
The Steelers are gonna have to score two touchdowns from their defense every week.
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:12.079
And since the Bengals are rolling, I know division, but all they have to do is win.
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:13.920
They don't have to cover in our league.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.839
It's just they just have to win.
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:25.039
So I'm taking the Bengals because later on, you know, Bengals are gonna have two games against the Ravens, and I'm never gonna pick either of those.
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.519
Um so I'm just taking the Bengals now.
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:34.480
Seahawks, uh, it just seems like alright, let me just keep keep this going, get an easy win in there.
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:40.079
But here's the thing there's been so there's been huge upsets each week.
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:49.920
Arizona, first week for sure, you know, beating the Chargers, which now doesn't look like that much of an upset, but you know, first week it was.
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:56.000
Um could the Commanders beat the like who's gonna be the upset this week?
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.119
Last week, everyone like the Ravens uh or the Saints beating the Ravens killed a ton of parlays.
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.519
Um the Raiders beating the Chargers killed a ton of parlays.
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.200
What game though?
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.000
Or first, do you have your uh survivor picks?
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.039
Do you know who you're picking for your for your own?
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:25.039
Yeah, well that matters much, much less because obviously whatever I'm saying, I'm gonna do the opposite, and then I'm gonna I'm just gonna exit stage left, okay?
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:35.519
Um, all right, so obviously I gotta pull, you know, a summer of George uh Costanza type move where I'm just gonna do the opposite of whatever I think.
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:42.319
So of course, in the in the uh in the love of doing the opposite, it would mean I'm giving love to the Packers this week.
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.440
So um Green Bay's should walk through Atlanta um tomorrow night.
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:48.319
TNF.
00:29:48.480 --> 00:30:00.640
I usually don't like to do primetime games um uh it with my theory, but uh for survivor pools, but clearly my theories are out the window week three.
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.000
So uh this is usually what I used to do in gambling too.
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.519
I'm gonna press it, I'm gonna double down, and I'm gonna say, you know what?
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:09.680
Let's go with the team I hate most.
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:18.720
So then maybe it's a win-win where I can just show them some love, but it will probably end up kicking me in the in the face, and I'll end up hating them more um when they lose.
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.160
Yeah, I'm gonna go against my instincts of the primetime play.
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:31.519
Uh, I like the Saints, even though it's a little bit of a trappy um game against the Raiders, uh, coming off that huge win against against Baltimore.
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.079
But honestly, I just love the Saints this year.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.960
I I I love their offense for fantasy purposes.
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.920
Uh, I like the way they play for Survivor Pool.
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.680
Um, and honestly, I think this is gonna be the game of the week.
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.799
And I think this is one that's gonna be overlooked by everyone.
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:51.599
But Raiders Saints, 325 game um at the Superdome.
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.319
Yeah, I I I think you're gonna get all you can handle.
00:30:54.400 --> 00:31:02.400
And honestly, I don't like over-unders, but that 43 and a half for for the total is wildly low.
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:05.359
These two defenses are horrific.
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.039
They're gonna be giving it up.
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:16.799
And honestly, as long as Cousins is still at the helm, he's gonna he's gonna make some costly turnovers, as cousins is prone to doing, but he's also gonna put points up on the board.
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:18.000
He's gonna take shots.
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:25.599
And if it wasn't for Genty, I mean he dropped three passes last week that were just honestly beautiful balls right in his hands.
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:27.839
Um, something was wrong with Genty last week.
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.480
He was off.
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.759
But um, yeah, that's gonna be uh a good one.
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:36.559
And then my last one, and this is a little bit of an upset, but not really.
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:42.799
Um, I'm gonna go with the Giants uh and Jameis because they're playing the Titans, they're in New York.
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:50.079
Um, everybody, obviously in New York, is feeling really underwhelmed right now after the loss of Jackson Dart, probably for the year.
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:55.759
Um, and I think Jameis is gonna do what Jameis likes to do, and that's make people smile and make people happy.
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.240
And the Titans are gonna look for their first win of the year, they're gonna come close.
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.400
Jameis is gonna give them ample opportunities with probably four picks.
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:08.480
But the greatness about Jameis is that he forgets and moves on to the next play.
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.440
Yeah, uh, and he's gonna throw four touchdowns.
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.599
So four touchdowns, four picks, win for the Giants.
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.799
Win for the Giants.
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.359
I like that.
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.000
I I do think the Giants are gonna win as well.
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:36.559
I I'm staying away from betting it, but I do think that with a week with a week to prepare, and the Titans are just so bad that I I don't and the you know the Giants pass rush is good, and so they'll be able to get to uh Cam and mess him up.
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:51.279
So I I don't I just don't think that the Titans are gonna be able to score much, and so you know, as as long as Jameis isn't just throwing pick sixes, I think the Titans still won't put up points, um, you know, it's especially touchdowns.
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:55.440
I've got something all right, I took your advice last week.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:24.000
So, like I said when we started out, my parlay that I gave out on the on the pod hit, but my bets for the early games were just getting crushed because I had Chicago, I had Ravens in other parlays, I had Chargers, so just and I and it wasn't like I stacked up everything on every parlay, it was just that those three were on every were on uh at least one of the parlays.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:33.359
So that so my first my my early games just got cooked, but then I had a$500 winner on the later games because why?
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.440
Because I took your advice, I figured out how to do teasers on my app.
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.160
Um so what did I do?
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:50.799
I teased uh I teased um Jacksonville to um what I did was I just tried to find the number and go up a half point.
00:33:51.039 --> 00:34:01.920
So I teased Jacksonville to minus seven and a half or plus seven and a half, they lost by seven, uh but that way I just get over the number, whether it's three or seven.
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.599
Um it was Jacksonville.
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.559
Let me I gotta pull up uh pull up the bet.
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.679
Um, but it was it was uh Jacksonville.
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.000
I did lose my commander's bet.
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:19.280
Um I forget now it's dead air, nobody cares about this, but whatever.
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:20.800
I hit the I hit the bet.
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:26.239
Um I can't the thing's taking forever to pull up, but I hit I hit a three-team teaser.
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:35.440
Um so what I've got cooking for this week, I'm back to my parlay because my parlay hit, so I can't I can't go away from the parlay.
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:48.960
We've got Seattle playing against the Commanders, we got KC against the Dolphins, San Francisco against Arizona, and Buffalo against uh the Chargers.
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:53.679
That plays that pays just money line plus 133.
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.559
Here's the thing the I think we saw who the who the Cardinals were.
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.320
Like they played a great first game.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.920
I don't think that they can match with the 49ers.
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.519
Um but this they are in this division game.
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:17.599
I know you, I know you don't like the division games, but I just don't and they know each other so well.
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:21.199
They've both played so differently the first two weeks.
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:26.159
San Francisco has played like on honestly, like the best team in the NFC right off the bat.
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:32.800
And Arizona's been Jekyll and Hyde, but as we know, that can change in an instant, especially against division opponents.
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:37.199
There's a certain comfort level knowing that you see these guys twice a year every year.
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.039
You know every one of their tendencies.
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:40.480
So yeah, be careful with that.
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.360
I'm gonna give you the comfort level that I have.
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:55.039
The Cardinals just played a divisional game against somebody that they're very familiar with, and they were so familiar that the Seahawks were like, oh yeah, these guys are bums, and beat them 31-7 in Arizona.
00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:04.239
So I think that's about what's gonna happen uh with the 49ers, is that they're gonna feel comfortable on uh on smashing the on smashing the Cardinals.
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.159
In my head, Buffalo versus the city.
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.559
The Chargers wish they had Seattle's defense, but yeah.
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:09.519
Now that's true.
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.320
That's that is true.
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:11.360
I digress.
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:11.599
Yeah.
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.840
But they're but I don't think their defense is bad.
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:15.760
No, not not by any stretch.
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.760
Um and we see that the chargers suck.
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.719
So I think it's just the chart now.
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.039
This is this is another one that makes me nervous.
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.960
Here's the this is what makes me nervous.
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:33.599
Uh, but but I gotta get rid of me thinking the chargers are who I thought they were at the beginning of the season.
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:34.960
Because they're not.
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.719
The Chargers are not good.
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:40.639
Herbert has a hot girlfriend, and he's terrible.
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.239
He's not good anymore.
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:44.639
Their offensive line is banged up.
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:45.039
Yep.
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.519
They can't.
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.519
Well, they've been banged up forever, yeah.
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.880
Yeah, and they still are.
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:56.079
But but the one thing you gotta watch out with the Chargers is they're installing a completely new offense in.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:01.119
And the offensive coordinator is a friggin' psycho.
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:09.760
I love Mike McDaniel, but he is obviously uh one step you know closer to the Looney bin with joining Jim Harbaugh.
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.159
I mean, the two of them uh I think.
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:14.000
I think he's back on the drugs.
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:20.719
I would, I mean, he was he was drinking a lot uh early on in the career, but yeah, he might have switched to like a drinking problem, right?
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.400
Maybe he's popping pills or something now.
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:33.440
But I would just love to be a fly on the wall between these conversations between Harbaugh and McDaniel because it sounds like a lot of gaslighting and not listening to one another and just you know going full at it, like, let's go.
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:34.239
I want to go.
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:35.039
Do you want to go?
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:36.159
Let's go, coach.
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:37.119
Come on, coach.
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.280
All right, what are you gonna draw up for me today?
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:43.840
And we don't really ever get to uh, you know, the meat and potatoes, but yeah, give them time.
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.679
They're still installing a new offense.
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.400
Um, you know, Herbie has not looked good.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:56.400
Uh, none of the offenses look good, and that and that's just obviously um what's gonna happen when when the quarterback is not up to speed uh with the offense.
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.480
And this is another thing I'm gonna tell you.
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:08.800
You know, Justin is one of the smartest people that that I've ever worked with, um, and and one of the smartest quarterbacks um, you know, that's come through the league, you know, in a long time.
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:17.679
And if he can't retain the information that he's been given during the offseason, then your offense is too complicated, bro.
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:24.960
And I'm a big Mike McDaniel fan and believer, but if he's it he had these problems in Miami, too.
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.280
I mean, everything went bad real fast.
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:38.159
It it started great, and and then you know, a couple injuries, a couple Tyreek, you know, getting pulled over, um, incidents, and and the next thing you know questions from his quarterback.
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:45.519
Yeah, and and to a not, you know, jujitsu or no jujitsu, he was not getting out of the way of these of these uh defensive linemen.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:59.280
And the next thing you know, you look up and you're on the other coast of America, you're no longer a head coach, and you're working for someone who, when I look at Jim, I just feel like the lights are on, but nobody's home.
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:00.400
You know what I'm saying?
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.239
So uh give it time.
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:17.679
I really feel if they didn't have this stretch where you know the West Coast teams that travel east and play at noon uh on Sunday, that that's a terrible um percentage uh of West Coast teams that that you know win in that in that situation.
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:22.719
But if it wasn't that, if it was a later game, I might be taking the Chargers.
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:34.719
Honestly, I just feel like a team or even you know, in in boxing sense, uh a fighter that's backed into a corner and has nothing to lose, I mean, is gonna give you everything.
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:42.000
And right now, the Bills are sitting pretty, they're not they're not gonna be coming out of the of the gates urgent, is what I'm saying.
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.280
They're 2-0 and they've looked, you know, as good as anybody in the league.
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:48.079
And then you have the Chargers who are literally desperate.
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:49.039
I mean, this is it.
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.280
Their season is over if they go to 0-3.
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.920
So I think you're gonna get their best effort.
00:39:54.079 --> 00:40:02.079
And honestly, the one thing that you do if you're a new offensive coordinator by week three and and guys are not getting it, you simplify.
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:05.360
So this week, watch, it's gonna be such a simpler playbook.
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:19.199
They're gonna stop with the double moves, they're gonna stop with Justin trying to throw into these tight windows, and they're gonna just start giving Hampton some balls out of the backfield, they're gonna hit Johnston with some deep passes, and then let McConkey go to work in the middle of the field.
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:24.960
So uh I I'm not I'm not counting the Chargers out just yet, even though they're playing the Bills.
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:33.760
See, here's what I here's where I think the Chargers were at home both games to start the season.
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.719
Now I know they don't have a great home field advantage.
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:38.000
Yeah, none.
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:44.960
But they played against Jacoby Brissett and Kirk Cousins.
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:55.679
Now their defense is going against Josh Allen, who you know most likely if who if the season ended right now, he'd be the MVP.
00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:56.239
Yeah.
00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:07.280
I know he's not coming out, you know, they they're they're not desperate to get a win, but I also don't think that they're that Josh Allen is coming out and just messing around.
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:09.679
So I think Well no, he never does.
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:10.239
He never does.
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:16.559
I think the Chargers, yeah, they're gonna give their he's gonna be calling whatever plays he had.
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.320
There's gonna be flea flickers, there's gonna be wide receiver passes, they're gonna be doing fake punts if they have to.
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:30.559
Bills are gonna have to stay on their toes, but I just think the Bills, like, this is just not a game that they're that they're gonna lose at home.
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:33.199
Their home field advantage is great.
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:38.159
And and I so so I was I was worried when I put it on there.
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.159
I was like, man, but the chargers have just been dog shit.
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.320
So I think I think you know they are who they are.
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.800
But so I got that for the parlay.
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.840
Now, check this out.
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:51.039
Now I'm taking your advantage.
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.679
I'm gonna I'm gonna put out a teaser a week too.
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:56.320
This this is a juicy one too.
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.719
One, two, three, four, five, six leg teaser.
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:03.679
Cincinnati at six points.
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:13.119
Cincinnati moves to plus two, Buffalo moves to minus one, Seattle to minus one, KC to minus five and a half, so they can they just have to win by a touchdown.
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:17.280
San Francisco to minus two and a half, so if they win by a field goal, we're good.
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:17.840
Nice.
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:20.559
And Philly at plus one and a half.
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:23.039
That plays that pays five to one.
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:25.119
Five to one.
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:26.719
Also six-point teasers.
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.840
That's so lovely.
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:28.559
I love it.
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:33.199
I love six-point teasers, seven, ten-point teasers, even.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:39.920
I mean, and I'll lay it down, you know, back in the day on a 10-point teaser if I really felt good about two or three teams.
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:52.239
And me and Schmidt would would, you know, I introduced him to teasers, and yeah, we would sometimes just do a Saturday of just two teams at a time with 10-point teasers and just throw two or three hundred down on it.
00:42:52.400 --> 00:43:03.760
And um, we're talking about, you know, uh teams like this, like like what you just picked, where it's it's close, but you can give them a little bit of of coverage or cushion with some points.
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:06.239
I mean, my goodness, you can't ask for much more.
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:15.679
Yeah, and I think the only thing this year that's gonna kill teasers is just how many quarterbacks are are getting hurt.
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:23.199
And because if your quarterback goes down, you know, that tease number starts to look pretty hard to hit.
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:27.840
I mean, you saw it with the Giants, you saw it with the commanders.
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.039
Um I don't know.
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:40.239
That that's the only thing that I'm worried about is if a if a quarterback goes down, um is you know, maybe that doesn't hit the teaser.
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:42.239
But what about moving on to fantasy?
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:44.880
But I mean that that's that's that's football in general.
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.079
I mean, even fantasy.
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:54.719
Some leagues now are introducing uh injury insurance to where if you get a player hurt during the game, they automatically are replaced by you know a bench player.
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:57.440
But really, um you know that yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:58.400
Soft leagues, man.
00:43:58.480 --> 00:43:59.840
Soft leagues league right there.
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:01.280
Soft.
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.440
You won't see me clicking on that setting.
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:07.199
But um, yeah, dude, that's just the nature of the sport.
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:13.760
And honestly, I can tell you, um, since I was a kid, the one thing I hate, you know, more than anything about sports.
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:20.079
I mean, there's really nothing I I I don't love, but the injuries are just, you know, an absolute buzzkill.
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.480
And and it really does drag down an entire fan base with one injury.
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:34.719
Like what Caleb went through and what we went through as as a f at fan base, and you as as commander fans, um, and what New York is going through with Dart.
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:54.079
I mean, we we're all experiencing the same type of um, you know, because everybody thinks the season's over and it's week two, and you're like, Yeah, I just spent the whole offseason getting hyped for the season, and then you're like, okay, we're, you know, if Caleb's out, the Bears' chances are low.
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:56.079
If Jaden's out, we have zero chance.
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:58.400
They didn't even let us get into the season.
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:02.400
Like, they didn't even let us get they had to pull this on week two.
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.320
Like, thank you, football gods.
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:05.360
Like, appreciate it.
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.559
And especially young quarterbacks, like, you know, you could at least win.
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:10.000
Yeah.
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.159
Like when Aaron Rodgers went out, it sucked, but it's like, all right, that's an old guy.
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.480
You know, you had years of Aaron Rodgers.
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:18.079
He's old, let him die.
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:19.840
Yeah, but you had years of Aaron R.
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.639
Like, we're like, hey, we're just trying to get no.
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:26.480
I feel you never want to see it too to anyone, but yeah, especially a young kid.
00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:35.039
It's just it's so detrimental to the franchise and and and to that coaching staff, because that every coach is tied to his current quarterback situation.
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:40.079
So if it if it ends ugly, I mean that head coach is gonna be finding a new job too.
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:40.880
Yep.
00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:45.360
So let's move on to fantasy please fantasy minute.
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:48.320
I mean, I took your advice again.
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:50.000
I took a lot of players, you said.
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:51.440
I won our league again.
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:52.320
You did.
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:55.519
You're starting to look like the expert, bro.
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:55.920
I don't know.
00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:56.880
I mean, what the hell?
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:04.000
I I listened to you, but my biggest my best picks were here, and this is gonna be my fantasy strategy going forward.
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:10.719
The commander's secondary is so bad that you need to pick the number one wide receiver this week.
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:11.760
It's JSN.
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:13.360
He's good anyways.
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:17.360
He may break every receiving record that there is this week.
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:27.119
Like if he wants to do it, even with Drew Locke, even in on an in and away game, going across the country, it does not matter.
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.000
Our secondary is so bad.
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:30.559
Yeah.
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:39.199
Um so we got, so I would pick JSN, but last week I had three players that scored a bunch, and that was pretty much it.
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:44.320
I had Bryce Young, and I did he was going against the Falcons who were awful.
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:44.960
Great.
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:46.079
That was you right there.
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:50.639
CeeDee Lamb, and then I had Carolina's defense.
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:52.239
And that but those three picks.
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:57.920
I think after giving up 59, so I applaud you for showing no recency bias.
00:46:58.079 --> 00:46:58.480
Thank you.
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:01.360
I said they're playing Atlanta, and Atlanta sucks.
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.000
So Yeah, you're riding the coattails of hating Atlanta this year, and I love it.
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:06.880
I I am.
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.119
I'm going, I'm going against Atlanta and now Pittsburgh, who I picked to make the playoffs, and I've totally switched.
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.280
Now they're they're done, they're dead to me.
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:15.840
So that's the thing.
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.679
Yeah, you had to win the division.
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:25.840
Yeah, I had I had winning the division, and now I'm now I'm picking against them in uh in sort of the Survivor Week in week three.
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:27.119
Week three.
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:28.400
Week three.
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.280
So give us your fantasy this week.
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:36.559
Um I mean, you had Josh Downs you gave out last week.
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:38.400
He had a big game for the Colts.
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:38.800
Yep.
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.159
And I was just gonna say double down, double down on Downs.
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:53.519
Um double down on double downs, double downs because uh Alec Pierce, shocker, is out again for an extended amount of time with an injury.
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:55.360
Oh, tell me if you've heard this before.
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:56.239
Who would have thought?
00:47:56.559 --> 00:48:03.119
Um, yeah, I I I think it's the same exact heel that he had offseason surgery on, but it's injured again.
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:08.880
Um, this is why they signed Keenan um DUI, hardly ever caught sober Allen.
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:11.360
Uh he blew a 2-2-4, bro.
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:12.719
A 2-2-4.
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:19.360
I mean, how many vodka cranberries can you have to get a 2-2-4?
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.000
And why is your buddy not driving?
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:26.159
Yeah, dude, you have enough money to have three drivers and you picked yourself.
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:26.559
Smart.
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:27.599
All right, Keenan.
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.079
So he'll be out, we know for three games.
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:31.440
That's an NFL policy.
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:36.800
If you're, you know, if you got Keenan Allen, he's not he's not making it the whole season for sure.
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:41.679
But it's not gonna happen uh for his arraignment is not for like six weeks.
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:44.880
So I I I got his court date in the middle of November.
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:51.119
So you can ride him until then, uh, and then and then drop his ass, like you know, his his ex-girlfriend dropped him.
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:52.400
But all right, dude.
00:48:52.639 --> 00:49:00.079
So Austin or uh Dalton Kincaid, another one last week that I I'm I'm just in love with this dude.
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:08.320
And especially uh when I see a quarterback in love with his own tight end, like Allen is, um, and he's like the best player in the league.
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.119
This is can this can only lead to good things.
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:14.000
So um keep firing up Kincaid.
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:17.199
Um all right, so fantasy minute for this week.
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:22.079
First thing I'm saying is Jalen Coker is a top 10 wide receiver the rest of the year.
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:22.960
You heard me?
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:32.480
Uh he's gonna finish ahead of the number one receiver on his own team, Tet uh McMillan, um in Carolina.
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:34.960
So Tet will be inside the top 12, though.
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:42.960
So you're gonna have two Carolina receivers, top 12 this year, but go after Jalen Coker and get him if you can't, or if you don't have him right now.
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:46.159
Um George Pickens weeks are coming.
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:49.440
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but very soon.
00:49:49.519 --> 00:50:02.239
This dude's an athletic freak, and CD has been putting up such huge numbs that defenses are gonna lock in, start double teaming, and um Pickens is gonna be the recipient of some some one-on-one coverage.
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:13.599
So uh speaking of exploding, an explosion coming in the next few weeks, uh Rashi Rice of the Chiefs has been underutilized to say the least the first two weeks.
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:26.639
Um, with with Kenneth Skywalker um dominating the league uh in the way that he's running, and Kelsey has made a re-emergence, looks like his old self, and uh Xavier Worthy has has looked like a number one.
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:28.320
So watch out for Rice.
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:31.280
He's gonna be coming uh onto the scene soon.
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:36.639
This week uh at quarterback, we're gonna run with Shook again and New Orleans.
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:42.320
Uh they're playing the Raiders, and I think that one's gonna be uh a back and forth battle.
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:52.000
Uh at running back, I like your boy Rashad White from Washington because the commanders are going to be down, and when they're down, they like to fill it up with White.
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.639
He had six grabs last week, uh, 14 points in fantasy.
00:50:56.800 --> 00:51:00.559
So he's a great yeah, he's super cheap.
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:12.159
Uh, I love his availability, and the fact that he's like a Travis Achan uh um you know from from New Orleans, in the fact that like he's a poor version of that.
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:16.159
Um but yeah, absolutely great value.
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:20.880
Manny Wilson, uh Emmanuel Wilson was with the Packers the last few years.
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:28.159
If Price, if Jadarian Price is out this week for Seattle, get Manny Wilson off the wire and start him.
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:29.440
He's a nice play.
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:35.199
Um, he's he's got experience, and look at his game chart, his game logs over the last two years.
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:42.159
When he's had multiple carries, like seven carries or more, he's put up double-digit numbers in fantasy.
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:44.079
Um, so I like him.
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:45.280
Sleeper right there.
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:45.920
I like that.
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:46.480
Right?
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:52.800
Trave on Henderson from the Patriots came back last week and and had a 39-yard touchdown run.
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:54.639
Um, I love the way he looks.
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:56.559
Uh, I loved him at Ohio State.
00:51:56.719 --> 00:51:59.599
Stevenson, Ramandre um fumbled last week.
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:00.880
Fumbled again, right?
00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.199
Yep, that's another one of his issues.
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:05.840
So, you know, the Patriots don't like fumblers.
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:08.079
I think Henderson could get a little more love.
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:11.360
Um, let's go tight end, dude.
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.920
I don't know if he's AI, a bot.
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:21.280
The fake deer in the Little Caesars commercial is more real than than than George Kittle.
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:24.719
But this dude is seriously a freak of nature.
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:34.320
He tore his Achilles in friggin' January, and somehow this guy's starting, and his backup, who was supposed to be the starter, Tongis, he's out for the year.
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:41.920
Somehow he couldn't even keep up with the recovery to to build towards playing for George, um, let alone actually being on the field.
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:43.599
So this guy's a freak of nature.
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.039
Keep firing him up.
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:49.199
Um, if if an owner is feeling a little wary about Kittle, go trade for him.
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.280
I don't care that he's 32, just go and get him.
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:54.719
He showed last week that he's gonna keep getting love from Purdy.
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:55.119
Yeah.
00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:59.920
Um, Schultz is the man in Houston right now with Nico out.
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:08.079
He had 10 for 140 last week, and he's he finished as the tight end number three last year as far as catches go.
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:11.920
So he's very under the radar, probably on your wire right now.
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:16.239
And then what Adam did last week with Carolina D, we're gonna fire him up again.
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:18.159
They're playing Cleveland.
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:23.199
Um, and then a couple ads off your wire, uh, if they're available.
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:27.119
Like we said last week, Bryce Young, he's the man uh in Carolina.
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:28.880
He finally looks to be emerging.
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:31.599
Go get Caleb Johnson of the Packers.
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:35.599
Um, he looks to be the one that's gonna take that timeshare.
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:41.440
Manny Wilson, we said, of the Seahawks, Trey Tucker and Keon Coleman at wide receiver.
00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:53.679
Um, both had really nice weeks last week and look to build off it, and they have some upside because they're young and could end up being uh the number one or number two in both of their offenses.
00:53:53.840 --> 00:54:01.280
And then go and get Zach Ertz because he just signed with the Eagles when God got hurt, and he's gonna be the number one.
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:05.440
He knows the offense, knows everybody around him, so that's gonna be an easy fit.
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:17.119
And then just breaking today, um, with Jonathan Brooks out for the next six weeks for the Panthers, um, the running back, um, Austin Eckler came into Carolina to work out today.
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:24.800
So former Washington uh and charger Austin Eckler, uh, if he signs with the Panthers, I like him.
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:25.519
I like him.
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:27.840
And and he stayed in shape during the offseason.
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:32.000
So um check is if he's on your wire, because I'm guaranteeing he is.
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:32.960
Yeah, for sure.
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:35.039
Unless you're in my league, because I already scooped him.
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:36.320
You already scooped him.
00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:38.000
Already scooped him.
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:40.159
All right, let's move on to college.
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:47.599
The game of the year, the only game that mattered in college football for the whole the bait to me, college football is over.
00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:51.840
LSU talk trash on Jaden.
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:53.280
It's over.
00:54:53.599 --> 00:55:00.480
Jaden uh now he Jaden goes out anyway, so maybe maybe it was a lose-lose for both of them.
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.280
But Ole Miss beats them.
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.079
LSU tried to make a comeback, but they couldn't do it.
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:08.719
Ole Miss didn't even rush the field.
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.519
They didn't need to because that this is an easy win for us.
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:12.800
We don't need to rush the field.
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:14.800
Beating bum ass LSU.
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:17.519
Uh Lane, of course, a crybaby.
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:21.760
You know, he was talking about, oh, I wish fans showed up like this when I coached here.
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:23.280
Just a crybaby.
00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:25.440
Um, and I'm glad they lost.
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:33.519
And, you know, now all I'm looking for, if Jaden doesn't come back, is Trinidad to be the quarterback of the Washington Commanders next season.
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:40.800
And but I also want to give a shout out, big fan, Rich Cock, aka Dick Cock.
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:45.679
I don't know, I never met this guy, but he texted Tony and he was happy for me.
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:58.159
He was happy for for uh for the game coming on, and he knew how how excited I must be to be watching a true championship team like Old Miss beat some bums LSU.
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:02.320
But now they got they got us uh favored to lose this week against Florida.
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:04.000
I I don't understand college football.
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:18.079
He he was watching the game w just for your purpose because he he's a big fan of the show, and he was literally like texting me, this must be so exciting right now for Adam because his fandom is on the line.
00:56:18.159 --> 00:56:22.800
I I and I was like, I can't I I can't imagine what Adam's dealing with right now.
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:30.719
But um, yeah, we were all tuned in just to see, and and your boys your boys prevailed, so at least you're with them for one more week.
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:33.760
Even if they lose, that that was that was all we needed.
00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:35.039
We just beat LSU.
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:36.480
Oh, okay, you're on now.
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:36.960
You're in.
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:38.000
I'm just a fan, yeah.
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:38.559
Because they beat it.
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:40.159
Locked in because lock it in.
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:42.480
As much trash as I talked on LSU.
00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:44.159
If we had lost that, I would have had to leave them.
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:46.559
The fact that we beat them, cool.
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:51.199
We beat it's like uh Okay, it's like it would be like Kansas, Missouri.
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:52.719
Like you beat your rival, you're good.
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:59.440
The whole and I don't even know if they were rivals before this season because I'm this is my first year as a fan.
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:01.519
Um so I have no idea.
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:03.440
He's 26.
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:06.079
But this 26 is oldness.
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:09.440
They were rivals, and they got us losing to Florida.
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:10.719
I can't believe this.
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.519
I actually have that as the upset of my week.
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:15.440
Yeah, that was my pick to click.
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:17.599
Thanks.
00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:19.360
I can't believe this.
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:23.199
So talk about you're the one who watches college.
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:24.400
What are you seeing for this week?
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:25.280
What did you see last week?
00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:33.360
I only have to you can't tell by my picks this year that I do watch college, but like I said, um, we're all in this boat together at the beginning of the season.
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:35.519
The first four weeks were learning teams.
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:44.960
I haven't given a a serious pick um, you know, since we started this show, but every week I'm kind of throwing out um some names and numbers that have not been hitting.
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:45.920
So I hope you haven't been.
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:48.079
I think you've been gaslighting me, to be honest.
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:50.639
I hope you've been gaslighting me when I taught college.
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.119
Um, but yeah, we're we're getting close now.
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:53.760
We're getting close.
00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:56.239
I'm starting to see um a few things develop.
00:57:56.400 --> 00:57:57.199
I will say this.
00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:01.280
My ducks came out last week and answered like I I thought they would against Portland State.
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:06.559
It was the biggest um win in in uh Audsen history in Eugene, 84-0.
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:12.559
So I'm not even I'm not even backed, I'm not even throwing a backdoor brag that we beat Portland State.
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:18.880
I'm not even, but this is the type of effort that that I wanted to see last week, and this made Daddy very happy.
00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:21.280
So, all right, we're gonna go now.
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.960
The Ducks are favored on the road at USC.
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:28.239
Um, and it don't even matter because I was taking them even if they were the dogs.
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:29.679
So we're going Ducks.
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:32.239
If they lose this game, that's the season.
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:33.360
I mean, that'll be the second longest.
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:34.320
Yeah, yeah.
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.400
That's a wrap.
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.960
Um, I'm going with Florida over.
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:39.920
Sorry, buddy.
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:41.840
Wow, what is Florida?
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:44.159
What they're back in the they're in the 20s.
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:45.599
What has Florida done?
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:47.039
The Gators, baby.
00:58:48.239 --> 00:58:48.880
Florida's done.
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:53.840
I'm telling you, uh Saturday night, Saturday nights are swampy in the south.
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:57.599
Um, so Oregon and Florida are both given three.
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.079
So those are really nice, uh, nice numbers.
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:08.000
The upset special um that we're looking at is well, not really an upset special, but um Washington.
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:09.199
I'm gonna go with Washington.
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:19.519
They're playing at 10 o'clock uh Central Time, um, or you know, Midwest time, but that's eight o'clock West Coast, Pacific Coast time.
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:23.280
Minnesota has never played that late, okay, on a Saturday night.
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:27.280
Um is what I'm trying to say.
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:29.760
So those fools are done.
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.400
Um blood in the water right there.
00:59:32.559 --> 00:59:37.920
And Washington's a tough Seattle's a tough place to play in, anyway, um uh at night on the weekends.
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:42.880
And then my upset special is Tennessee is taking down your boy Arch.
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:45.199
Tennessee's beating Texas.
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:47.360
Tennessee's beating Texas.
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:48.159
Dang.
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.199
This is what I want to know, though.
00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:55.039
Florida beat Florida Atlantic 66 to 21.
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:56.880
That's a high school team.
00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.320
Then the next week, 52 to 3, Campbell.
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:02.000
Like, I never even heard of Campbell.
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:03.119
They're called the Camels.
01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:07.360
Like, I mean, I'm looking at the logo and assuming that they're called the Camels.
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:10.000
Then they barely beat Auburn.
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:11.039
Yeah.
01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:19.599
Now they're gonna, now just they're gonna be home against the, you know, to me, I would say Texas, I would have it number one.
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:23.199
If I did the rankings, I would have Texas at number one because they beat Ohio State.
01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:24.880
I'd have Ole Miss at number two.
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:25.920
There you go.
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:26.559
Think about it.
01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.400
LSU beats it.
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:36.480
LSU beats Clemson and they they make LSU jump from like 17 to 8 ahead of Ole Miss.
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:41.519
And then Ole Miss beats LSU, and we just move up a few spots.
01:00:41.599 --> 01:00:42.559
Why are we not number two?
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:44.480
And now we're playing Florida.
01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:46.239
Because you're about to find out.
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:48.400
You're about to find out why you're not number two.
01:00:48.719 --> 01:00:50.559
Florida does this every year.
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:53.119
They have more athletes than they know what to do with.
01:00:53.199 --> 01:01:00.400
They're like Alabama, they could start their third stringers and they would be like a number one, um, you know, number ones for another another program.
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:05.599
But um, Florida's just got so much talent they don't know what to do with.
01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:08.000
And when you go to the swamp.
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:10.639
When you go to the swamp, yeah, exactly.
01:01:10.719 --> 01:01:16.000
They're just that's why they they plan some cupcakes at the beginning of the year because they're trying to figure out the system.
01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:21.199
And that's a great move for a brand new regime is just to get some cupcakes, some softies on the menu.
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:25.280
Um, and and now, first, you know, first big one.
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:35.199
And being in the swamp on a Saturday afternoon, 2 30 ABC, the the ghost of Keith Jackson circling the stadium.
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:37.519
I'm telling you, that's a tough place to play, bro.
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:38.719
Tough place to play.
01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:40.559
And and I like Chambliss.
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:41.280
I mean, Chambliss.
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:42.559
Get out of here.
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:42.960
Troy.
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:44.239
Chamber too lane.
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:46.159
This guy's awful.
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:48.960
We are not losing this game.
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:49.920
Alright.
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:52.079
Let's let's giddy up.
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:56.000
All right, here's the for soccer.
01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:00.719
Okay, last week, okay, the pod was already starting, but I gave out Barcelona minus two and a half.
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:03.199
They of course smashed this week.
01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:04.880
Is uh international ball.
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:07.280
So none of the, you know, so everyone's off.
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:08.559
All your club teams are off.
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:15.760
I don't bet international ball because they're it you never really know like what they're trying.
01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:23.760
The teams are aren't necessarily it's not that they're not trying to win, but they're more trying to see what they have, in my opinion.
01:02:24.079 --> 01:02:25.199
You tell me if I'm correct on this.
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:38.239
Yes, they're more trying to see what they have on, let's say, a young kid, or like they don't Argentina doesn't, besides for it's gonna be his like last Argentina game, they don't need to see what Messi is doing, you know, what he can do.
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:44.239
Yeah, he doesn't get called out to a lot of international service, you know, when it's not you know big cups, right?
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:44.639
Exactly.
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:45.840
I mean they're not even gonna waste it.
01:02:46.320 --> 01:03:02.960
This is stuff where you you might not really know what the team is trying to do, they might be just trying to say, Hey, can we let me put a new form in and see like if they can play this style of soccer or or this over here, um, and can these players do that?
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:05.360
And so I just I stay away.
01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:06.239
What about you?
01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:07.920
What what do you do on this?
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:12.880
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, um it I I stay away too.
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:20.000
I like to just bet on basically, you know, as far as international times go, I like to bet the Euro Cup and the World Cup.
01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:22.880
And everything else I kind of stay away from.
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:31.599
Um, if you're desperate, uh, I can give you a couple I can give you a couple degenerative plays um that could work for you.
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:37.760
But namely, I'm gonna give you the player that you need to look for in the lineup, and if they're not there, then stay away.
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.880
So soccer this week, we got Norway versus Denmark.
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:47.280
This is always usually a nice Scandinavian battle, but Norway has become a new team with with a la Alland.
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:58.559
Um and if he's in the lineup, uh it I don't even know if he was if he was called, you know, onto the onto the team uh for this break since the World Cup just happened.
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:02.960
They might be giving him a rest, but if he's available, lock him up.
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.559
Portugal, it doesn't matter if Ronaldo's there.
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:09.519
I uh and I'm sick of people thinking that he makes a difference.
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:11.519
Portugal is so loaded with talent.
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:15.599
Um they are long past the days of needing Cristiano.
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:18.480
Um I think it's a hindrance now, too.
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:20.559
Like I think it is, and it was in the World Cup.
01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:20.960
You're exactly.
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:24.000
It was a hindrance for sure.
01:04:24.159 --> 01:04:25.280
They're playing Wales.
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:30.639
Um, Wales hasn't been good um since Gareth Bale in his prime.
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:33.440
So um, and then the other one is Austria.
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:37.599
They're playing Israel, who just got relegated from from group A.
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:39.920
Um, and now they're playing in B for the first time.
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:40.960
And I love Austria.
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:42.559
David Alabah.
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.440
Um Israel took a big win on the Ed Sheeran tour, though.
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:46.000
So I don't know.
01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:50.719
They might be already they might they they might that might have been their Super Bowl right there.
01:04:52.159 --> 01:04:54.800
They they got everybody kicked off that tour.
01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:59.199
So that they might they might not even be thinking about soccer.
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.960
They got they got Ed Sheeran.
01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:03.760
And he what he he owns another soccer team.
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:06.000
Man, that is phenomenal.
01:05:06.079 --> 01:05:08.880
That yeah, that's that's good work right there.
01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:24.800
Um so the the international breaks are tricky, and that goes even for the club teams because the international breaks come and your club team could lay off of you the week before you go just to give you some extra rest before you go on this break.
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:29.920
Or vice versa, on the opposite end, when you come back, they might give you a little extra rest.
01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:38.320
So, just that's another reason to be careful with the with the club teams, especially during the week, um, just off fresh off an international break.
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:39.360
That's very tricky.
01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:42.719
And uh, it's good advice from Adam, just to just stay away from that in general.
01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:56.079
Just go after the Euro Cup, go after the World Cup, um, international gambling, but stay away from the friendlies, especially because nobody cares, and um you really don't know what you're getting from game to game.
01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:06.159
But if you're bored, you got a hinkering for football, uh Or soccer, um, you know, at this point, then the MLS can be useful.
01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:07.519
Uh I know, I know, I know.
01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:08.400
I'll wait for you to stop it.
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:11.119
Tony fired off some MLS bets for me.
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:15.119
I want I want everyone, you know, to stop laughing.
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:16.719
So I'll I'll I'll wait for that.
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:27.440
But um, no, I I I gave you a good hit on Nashville last week, but you know, Colorado is an example of why the MLS can be a pain in the ass.
01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:40.639
I will say the best value in soccer gambling comes from the MLS because you won't get a game above 200, negative 200, you know, where you're putting out more than 200 to get 100 back and winning.
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:43.440
So the value's always there with the MLS.
01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:52.880
And a lot of times you can get a plus number, like a plus 105, plus 120 of a home team um if they're playing a decent um road opponent.
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:55.440
So the MLS can be very useful to you.
01:06:55.599 --> 01:06:59.440
Do not go crazy, don't put your you know, inheritance on it.
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:08.639
Uh, I'm talking like a couple hundred dollar bets here and again, and even if you lose a hundred dollar bet, isn't that the best bet to lose, though, bro?
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:12.880
Because you can seriously get that back with your next one or your next one after that.
01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:15.679
It's it's the ones where we bet 300, right?
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:20.000
And then we lose, and then you need three bets just to get you back.
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:23.840
And when you're scrambling like that, you're always gonna end up losing, right?
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:26.400
And you're gonna be be going down further.
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:30.960
So um, yeah, the MLS is great for that, good value.
01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:40.480
Um, I usually like to go with the two or three best teams in the league for that season at home, and I'll only do this on weekends.
01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:49.679
So Messi, anytime he's at home, uh anytime, Messi, anytime anywhere, I'm going with Messi um uh uh on the weekends.
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:55.679
Nashville this season has become one of the best, if not the best, home team uh in the league.
01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:02.880
Colorado's good at home, but we saw they they had a 3-1 lead late last week that I that I gave you, and unfortunately, I apologize.
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:03.920
They they gave up the show.
01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:08.880
Tony texted me like I thought I already hit the bet because I wasn't paying attention.
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:14.159
And and then he told me, literally, specifically gave me instructions not to parlay.
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:17.279
Uh, but of course I said, I'm not listening to that.
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:21.439
So I bet them both even uh single bets and then parlayed them both.
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:26.319
And yeah, Colorado was winning with like nine it like what 80 minutes left.
01:08:26.399 --> 01:08:28.880
They were up 3-1 and they ended up drawing.
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:29.520
Drawing.
01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:30.880
Um, but so yeah.
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:31.680
So I lost it.
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:33.439
Nashville Cruise, 3-0.
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:35.199
But yeah, that's that's the thing.
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:47.199
The the the teams are so pathetic in the MLS that sometimes you'll have to make sure that you're watching a pro team and not a high school soccer game in America because it is so bad sometimes.
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:50.800
Um, and I usually don't watch the games, uh, the MLS games.
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:52.159
I I can't stomach them.
01:08:52.319 --> 01:08:54.800
So um I'll just keep checking the score.
01:08:54.960 --> 01:08:56.880
Um, but yeah, I love home teams.
01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:58.880
And this year, the other one is Vancouver.
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:04.319
Vancouver spent a lot of money in the offseason, um, and they are on fire right now.
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:06.960
They're actually the hottest team in the league um at home.
01:09:07.199 --> 01:09:08.159
So, yep.
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:10.880
All right, that's that's good insights on the MLS.
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.439
Now, you said only on the week weekends.
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:15.119
Uh I don't follow MLS.
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:20.319
Do they only play on the weekends or you own or the weekend games just the bigger ones?
01:09:20.399 --> 01:09:22.880
Like why you say only bet on the weekends?
01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:28.880
It's it's I've never seen any consistency in MLS during the week.
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:33.680
Um, you know, where you can see some teams travel well.
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:44.319
Um, most teams don't travel well, but during the week you can see the most off brand, the worst road team somehow win or draw on the road.
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:46.560
It's just I've never seen any consistency.
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:50.479
It's a crapshoot of chaos, to be honest, um, during the week.
01:09:50.560 --> 01:09:53.600
And a lot of time, I mean, I don't have I don't have time for that.
01:09:53.760 --> 01:10:04.239
And there's so many other soccer leagues um going on during the week that I can catch in in Europe um and elsewhere that I'd rather throw money on actual skillful, you know what I mean?
01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:20.239
And I'm not saying the MLS isn't skillful, um, but you're getting either Messi's best friends and retirees who used to be the GOAT, or you're getting dudes who are barely hanging on by a thread and are never gonna go anywhere um, you know, to play soccer besides America.
01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:28.880
But um, you know, in in years past, or I mean in weekends past, I I've told you that I like to go to smaller leagues and get the most dominant teams.
01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:37.760
So, like this year I've told you Belgium, Clue, Klu Bruges, uh, Croatia is Hedric split, Sweden is Sirius.
01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:45.680
Um, and if Sirius is playing a team that's middle tier or below, um, even on the road, I like to ride them.
01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:52.479
They're dominant this year, and that's one of those rare teams that Homer Road, they're just gonna they're gonna walk away with the league.
01:10:52.560 --> 01:10:56.159
They're gonna be up by 20, 25 points um at the end of the season.
01:10:56.239 --> 01:11:01.199
So, and another one of my favorites all time is is from the Ukraine League, Shaktar, Dontsek.
01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:05.840
Um, especially at home, these dudes are uh are undeniable.
01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:08.880
And you know who else is crushing this year that we gave out at the beginning?
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:13.600
Was Porto, and Porto just beat Benfica like 3-1 or something.
01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:21.920
They might be my favorite club team of all club teams, um, outside of you know a couple English premiere and sp and La Liga teams.
01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:25.359
Yeah, I love Porto, always have something about them.
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:26.640
They're magical.
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:29.039
All right, well, let's see how we do this week.
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:31.920
I mean, I'm cruising on a two-week win.
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:36.800
I haven't lost uh fantasy uh DraftKings yet because of Tony's help.
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:39.279
We're gonna see if that works again this week.
01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:41.600
We're gonna try to hit the parlays, the teasers.
01:11:42.479 --> 01:11:48.479
Yeah, but the only thing that I the only thing I hope Tony gave out that was wrong was I hope Florida doesn't win.
01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:49.840
I I I hope old miss.
01:11:50.079 --> 01:11:53.199
I hope Tony's wrong on that, and I hope old miss cruises again.
01:11:54.560 --> 01:12:00.159
Sit all your bears in fantasy, please, until he comes back.
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:01.600
Yeah, all right.
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:03.359
Shout out, Vic Cop.
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:04.720
See you guys next week.
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:05.600
