บทถอดความฉบับเต็มของ Sharp or Square - Super Bowl LX Betting Recap & Reaction

late in the season addition to our program, So that three hundred and seventy five was basically good enough for top eight percent. I feel okay with that. Like we had a tough run there in the playoffs. You know, we cratered in the conference final weekend and in the round weekend. So I feel okay coming in where we did, considering how bad things turned there for a minute. 00:07:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, basically did nothing. You just saw that record there basically is five hundred since the cut that started. So yeah, dug ourselves into a pretty horrible hole and crawled out. And Yeah, luckily two biggest bets of the playoffs happened to be in the conference championship in the Super Bowl, So yeah, it got kind of lucky that it worked out that way. 00:07:31 Speaker 1: Our contest picks were Seattle ninus four and a half cashed, the under forty five and a half cash Formandre Stevenson under fifty three and a half rushing yards cash, Drake may Over nineteen and a half completions that cashed, the one that lost. We had the Pats plus three and a half in the first half, so we finished four and one in the Super Bowl. Our total contest record for twenty twenty five from the beginning of the season five picks every week through the playoffs, sixty and fifty fifty five percent. Basically, you tell me, as professional better you can go fifty five percent in the season. You're taking that every time. 00:08:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, but I would say we're both disappointed that that the Tennessee Tennessee Titans dictated our season. Yeah, we were in a contest for a lot of money, and I told Chad, if we had just gone the other way and the Titans, you'd both be sitting here with half a million dollars. So it's pretty sickening. We had a really good year. But that's how close to margins are. If you just lock in on the wrong team, you can't get it right. You crush yourself. And yeah, great year, But I am one of those people. I don't remember my wins. I remember every loss. And that's what's gonna hurt me in this offseason. I'm gonna be sitting there. It's gonna be I do know, May second, eleven o'clock at night and on like the damn Tennessee Titans, because well it's a ton of money. 00:08:54 Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned that, because we're gonna we're gonna get into that. And by every account I should have been freaking thrilled with the Super Bowl. But all that's in my head is the two things that kept it from being monster. Monster Sunday our name bets Chad's choice was Seattle altline minus six and a half that one Simon says was the first quarter under eight and a half, barely a sweat. There was like a second where it could have been a sweat when when the Patriots played at their best and then it, you know, went exactly our way. 00:09:28 Speaker 2: And a couple of people ask about that. Why I blindly bet that every year and shout out to our guy, Evan Adram sent me the numbers since the year two thousand in the Super Bowl first quarter under is now eighteen seven

and two. So, like I said, every year, people, you can betside, you can do all this hard work. Like I said that Tuesday show, put all your money into this bet every year because every year it's a winner. These you saw right the team's come out flat, it doesn't matter. I mean my favorite stat ever, Tom Brady, the goat, what was he playing an eleven Super Bowls? He has three total points in the first quarter in those eleven Super Bowls. So now so Josh McDaniels, Yeah, that's here's a Josh McDaniel's stat. But just to remember in the future, people, eighteen seven and two first quarter unders in the Super Bowl since year two thousand. It's a great bet every year. 00:10:18 Speaker 1: Brass Balls was New England's first drive being a punt. So we cashed on all these you just mentioned. Evan. I want to call out too, particularly prescient clips from when Evan came on the show two weeks ago. 00:10:35 Speaker 4: Obviously, everywhere you look you hear Patriots strength to schedule. I think Seahawks strength to schedule is also just as important in this game. Only eleven of one hundred and twenty Super Bowl teams had a harder strength of schedule than the Seahawks. Those eleven teams win eight and three in the Super Bowl, So I also kind. 00:10:50 Speaker 2: Of blame I like that stat that's a good step. 00:10:53 Speaker 1: I love that. 00:10:54 Speaker 4: If you look at the single postseason, I believe Darnold has the fourth highest passer rating of any quarterback all time. You look on the other side, Drake may one hundred and thirteen passer rating during the regular season down to eighty four in the playoffs. I don't really care why that's happened, but I also think that's baked into why the line maybe isn't three and it's even four and a half and five. In getting juiced up at the moment, they've won nine straight, they've covered four straight. Only four other teams have even done that nine straight in four straight, nine straight wins, four straight covers. Entering a Super Bowl twenty sixteen seventeen Patriots barely survive ors the Falcons, but won the game and covered two thousand. Ravens blew out the Giants nineteen eighty six Giants blew out the Broncos, seventy one Cowboys blew out the Dolphins. So those teams nine straight wins, four straight covers, four and oh straight up four and oh against the spread in the Super Bowl. If you think Seattle's dominant, that's the stat you want to hear. Like they're just going to roll away with this one. 00:11:51 Speaker 1: That's basically what happened, right, I mean, it was just glorious. So nice job, Evan, nice job, Brandon, nice job, Simon nice John, nice job, Chad. One online hater accused you of wearing it to pay last week because of all of our collective flaws, I feel like what you do have is an incredible nest of hair. So congrats on your YouTube pay that you were able to afford after winning so much money on the Seattle Seahawks. 00:12:29 Speaker 2: Yeah. I definitely watched that clip. It just I immediately missed that warmth of that hair. I'm not gonna lie cheat, My ears are so cold. But yeah, I Chad knows. I'm crazy, superstitious. So if I win my biggest bet of the year on the Broncos, there's no chance I'm cutting my hair before the Super Bowl. I gotta let a ride. But yeah, as soon as I woke up Monday morning, I went and got the haircut that the hair was it was too much, It got gotten too wild. But yeah, this this game, there's so many avenues to go. I did see the cal Shanan clip you saw, just because I think cow Hurt put a video out talking about because I think Colin took the Patriots, and he basically just saying how much regret he had before the game had kicked off. Because when you hear a guy like Kyle say that, a coach will never say a team has a potential getting blown out right there in the lea. 00:13:18 Speaker 1: That's what's sort of that's what shocked me, Like you never hear a coach use the term blowout. That was really really, I mean, these pregame shows are fluff, right, we talk about it all the time, you know where the show the pregame show with the stuff, not the fluff. That was the most interesting thing I've heard in the pregame show in decades. 00:13:37 Speaker 2: And it's funny because I told Chat, I've been complaining to Chat about how the college football for the National Championship game they had on you know, Nick Saban, the head coach of Notre Dame, Like they had on some really brilliant minds and we've been lacking that in my opinion on football, right, Like not to hate on these talk shows you're you're putting on these dudes or in their seventies, we haven't played the NFL and forty years and they're nonsensical. They literally give you nothing to gain from a guy like Kyle or Sean McVay. Well, anytime you hear them speak, you need to listen, like they are the smartest minds in this sport. And yeah, Kyle had a great line as well that he had. Who is he to say anything about about the Seawks. He hasn't scored a touchdown on them in the last two times they played, which I love that line where it's like he can be that humble where he knows he's one of the best minds of all football. He couldn't he can't score on them right now, like he is in full tilt mode. So yeah, going into this game again, I thought the Seas had a chance to blow them out. I really did base it on. I thought May would struggle. To me, we got luck here because Sam Darnold also struggled. 00:14:48 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was, dude, every single time he dropped back when it was still close, you know, in the first half, let's say, especially those first drives, because the way the Patriots were playing defense, they were jumping every route. I just thought, oh my god, this is going to be a recipe for some kind of pick six for the first score. That's what it looked like to me. I don't know like you saw it the same way, but it was scary to me. 00:15:15 Speaker 2: You can tell it right away when Sam's on or off, and immediately could tell he was just

off because all his throws were behind or leading. Nothing was on target the entire game, in my opinion, like the entire game, he didn't have any I mean, Drake may who played terrible, he had the best throws of the game, no. 00:15:33 Speaker 1: Doubt, like Mac Collins for the touchdown. 00:15:36 Speaker 2: And I told you going to this game, I knew, Beth. Both head coaches mentalities were the quarterback that's going to dictate who's going to win this game because one of them is going to slip up and make a mistake and a thrown over. Sam never was really put in the position for that, right. They had a couple at the very beginning, Kulback let him kind of sling it. Eventually they just turned right to the run right, and even when they got down the red zone, there was a couple of times where they needed like a thirty and seven to pick up a first down. Sam was taking the third and four throw, so like he was taking the check down to get on fourth and be on a fourth and three or fourth and two because they were gonna settle for the three. Just never put the ball on turnover. And you know, Christian Zalez did have a chance at a pick in the end zone right before half that should have been a walking touchdown. Jason and beat him easy on the route. The ball was terribly late. Yeah, behind was almost a pick. So it's like Sam on his worst game still threw for two orty yards no turnovers. On the flip side, Drake May showed his inexperience. Where we talked about coming into this, that's what I could beating home, was like, I get a probably better is Their whole point was, I can't believe it a bet on Sam Darnold was a four point favorite in the Super Bowl, and my whole view was that I can't believe you're taking Drake May under a seven point dog against the number one defense. You've seen him struggle now three straight weeks against defenses. This is gonna be the best defense he's faced. And it proved that. I mean, the way people are talking about the Seahawks now ridiculous like bears. They're not even last year's Eagles team. I honestly think was more impressive because they did against Mahomes and that Chiefs team. Like this Drake May, he looked totally out of it from the get go, like not like happy feet, bath rows, late throws. We talked about that shorter injury. I knew as soon as the game ended something would come out that he was shot up. I knew right away as soon as he missed that week of practice. It's like they're gonna baby and try to keep it cool. He's obviously got a big injury. And then you saw, you know, Will Campbell, who's been dragged through the mud, you know, fourteen pressures nfl wrecord in the Super Bowl. Basically he's playing on apparently a torn a sailor mcl like he's gonna get surgery or something like that with his knee. Don't I don't know the exact injury, but you knew this guy whose whole draft thing coming out was you have short arms, but he is so strong he's impossible to push through every play that he would just get bull rushed. He could not put any weight on that one leg. So between the May injury, the Campbell injury, like everything about that, I just I think we were both in sync of We just couldn't find a reason to back to the Patriots where me and Chad we want to bet the dogs. We talk all the time that should always be alarmed to people were so heavy into a favorite when we're such heavy dog betters, especially that trend we gave out right, it was like ten to one the last eleven Super Bowls where the spread was above four and a half. Yep, And not that we thought it was due to go the other way, but it was just like, well, this is I talked about it. I think I had gone the other way. The dog had gotten too much value that we were getting two free points on the favor That's why me and Chad both took the Seahawks team minus six and a half. Right, That's where the value to us was. Where this line just felt way off and you know, when Sunday morning came, I really did load up on the Seahucks because I just kept and the more I thought about it, I looked into it, It's like, this is such a bad matchups, this Statred's team. But I'm not gonna lie. I really did think there was a chance there for them to come back because of all those field goals, Like it was never more than a two point score game, right, and you saw Drake May the arm talent, he can strike fast. But you know, we talk of the time the game changer. The thing that decides these games with the quarterbacks are the turnovers and Drake May two picks one fumble. You know, it's just they were in an impossible snare. And at the end of the day, I don't know about you, but I am one of the people that I do blame Vrabel and Josh McDaniels. I think they totally got out coached. Scheme wise, they failed, And I hated how Vrabel was playing this game where he was playing to keep it close rather than try to win, Like I get it, you're not going for a fourth and one in your own thirty nine because it's a nine to nothing game. Or a twelve nothing game. But that that twelve nothing, I don't about you watching at home, it felt like that was forty to nothing. It's like you can't get a field goal letter go in a touchdown. So I really do question Rabel the most coming out that game, where I hated the way he coached it. He just he played too soft and kept thinking Sam will make the mistake. I'm gonna be able to get back in this game, where I just thought the other way. The Seahawks were never, never gonna let Sam don't make that mistake, and you know that's where he messed up. 00:20:09 Speaker 1: Well, that was the flip side of why we loved Seattle so much. We truly believed that what we had seen over the previous three or four weeks and the way Seattle was calling the games, they really weren't going to let him be in a position to screw it up. They had to win big against the Rams, but they had really started to figure out how to get Sam Donald to not be making mistakes. 00:20:38 Speaker 2: I agree with you, quarterback, your first

quarterback in NFL history, zero turnovers through the playoffs. 00:20:43 Speaker 1: He was amazing, totally amazing. 00:20:45 Speaker 2: He tried to make in the regular season zero in the playoffs. 00:20:49 Speaker 1: He tried. He tried to make some turnovers in the Super Bowl. 00:20:53 Speaker 2: He really concerts like he's a real gunslinger. It's like, please stop saying that. 00:20:57 Speaker 1: College Christian Gonzales out of his head that game. I mean, yeah, he was like Lester Hayes, just knock he was. 00:21:06 Speaker 2: He was. 00:21:06 Speaker 1: He was unreal the the And there was one play I think it was towards the end of the first half where the Seahawks could have gone up twelve nothing with a field goal, and to your point, twelve might as well have been forty in this game, and they did let Sam Darnold try to throw like a short out that if he was a little bit behind on that throw, that's a pick six. And so Kubiak did let him stretch a little bit. For the most part, it was, you know, give it to Kenth Walker because they had found some kind of success where they were able to run against this Patriots defense. He was, he was amazing in this game. Like you, I loaded up on the Seahawks, But but I loaded up on the Seahawks, not all at three and a half or four and a half, which was available. I did three and a half I did four and a half, I did six and a half. I did nine and a half, I did thirteen and a half, I did sixteen and a half. I did twenty one and a half and twenty five and a half. So, like my line of demarcation for break even on all of those bets was I think ten. If they won by ten, I was at least making money on those bets, and then it escalated from there. They ended up winning twenty nine thirteen. I think it was sixteen, So I ended up getting the thirteen and a half as well. And to your point about like what you remember, you know they were up twenty nine to seven, they were up twenty two points. It ends like that if the Patriots don't get that garbage touchdown, I'm having maybe the best weekend I've ever had, is a better in my entire life, because well just because like everything was compounding, right, and by the time it got to like Seattle minus twenty one and a half or something, I think it was like plus six hundred, right, and so like the biggest one was Seattle minus twenty five and a half at plus twelve hundred, which I wasn't gonna get. But then after they had that touchdown, Kenneth Walker breaks it for a long run, They're up thirty six thirteen, and it gets called back for holding penalty. And it crushed me because now all of a sudden, like what could have been a miraculous, amazing, glorious never had a day like this in my life. I took a side. I went all in on that side. I used all of our lessons and some guy held someone and it just cost me that extra you know, the final two legs of that ladder, which was it's rough, I'm not gonna lie it. 00:24:14 Speaker 2: Makes you feel better. That was like a six k not six

six figure swing for me because I had a ton of parlays tied to the under and uh yeah, the I basically I'm pretty sure I get on the show and Mac Collins anytime touchdown hit, which was really lucky, and obviously Seattle defense. Yes, I always parlay the defenses that I bet on the teams with, and uh yeah, that was a nice payout as well. So yeah, for me, you know, between Denver and the Super Bowl, close to a seven figure into the season, and between my clients and my group, a nice ten I mean eight figure, I should say end of the season, and I'm gonna get a really nice bonus, hopefully, let's see what that will be. I need golds at old time high, so probably not gonna get any gold, but yeah, having fun trying to figure out what I'm gonna pit out in just because you know, these these are long seasons, few form between great seasons, and you had to end that way in the last two games, obviously, is a great feeling, and especially a game like this where you know, confidence can always leak, especially when you have two weeks leading up to a game, and yeah, neither of us really wavered, honestly, like even talking about the sharp calls and how I was shocked to hear Summer professionals. The most shocking thing was to watch from that show, which was Thursday to Friday to Saturday to Sunday, how the money came flowing in on the Patriots. And basically, if I kickoff, I think it was like fifty of the bets and money were on the Seahawks, and obviously forty three percent was on the Patriots, which blew my mind that that many people late came in on the Patriots and we're feeling so confident about them and yeah, you were. You said you were worried about how the line had a budget. I was the other way where it's like a couple of books had gone to five here in Jersey and I immediately was just like, okay, money's pouring in here on this Patriots team. And I still know other groups like me taking positions on the Seahawks team, and now the numbers moved against it as we moved up as well. This is like alarm, belscuse. I told you the books were stuck. They could not go to six and a half. In my opinion, on the Sux, they would have shown their ass. They would have shown this is potential to be a blowout if they would have moved it. And uh, yeah, the books are going to say they didn't do great. I think that's a lot to do the predictive markets and then being dinosaurs and being slow to adjust to the new current market. But overall, you know, that was a great I'm assuming a great super Bowl for the books because you didn't get the you know, you didn't get all the big touchdown guys right like Jason didn't score. I know Walker heard them obviously, but uh and the total went under and he had a blowout. So yeah, it's like we always said, the public does win and they got smoked the regular season. They got their revenge for sure here in the playoffs and especially on this game with this was definitely we talked about it was. It was a very public side. We knew that going in

and yeah, it props to us. We didn't let it bang us off chat. We stayed, stayed to it and stayed my god, we ripped the rewards from it. 00:27:21 Speaker 1: We totally stayed focused. Good for us.

All Right, producer Matt Mitchell, he's going to join us right now because he has. While we are giving ourselves so many bouquets of flowers for our brilliant Super Bowl analysis and the courage to go with a dominant team at multiple levels, Matt Mitchell has a super Bowl bad beat to bring us back down to earth. 00:29:37 Speaker 3: Chad, I had a great super Bowl. It was absolutely my most profitable game of the entire NFL season, which is not common. 00:29:44 Speaker 2: Use. 00:29:44 Speaker 3: The Super Bowls not the payload that I that I wanted to be. It's always a mixed bag, right. It was great. I got everything I needed, right except for the two lottery tickets that I scratched, which are so stupid and so easy to understand. Because I don't usually love bad beat stories. I love turning the Super Bowl into a game of Roulette by picking exact outcomes. So I took Seattle to win by exactly twelve, and I took Seattle to win by exactly twenty two, oh, very uncommon, and they both paid one hundred to one. I bet on both of

them. And I got to experience the absolute torture chamber of seeing not one of them, but both of those differentials in the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl blowout in which basically after each after each one was established, no team had a real either possibility or incentive to score first at nineteen seven, and I thought, boy, this could really be the LT that's could be it. And then I'm like, Okay, the last all the other bets I needed, I go, what would really be great is a Seattle defensive touchdown, regular extra point. And then I'll get to twenty two, It'll be twenty nine to seven, and the next play I got exactly that nobody caught him. I felt like my soul left my body and I was watching myself watch that play from above. 00:31:17 Speaker 2: I gibble a lot. 00:31:19 Speaker 3: I gabble every I have been on six Olympic Women's hockey Games already. I gibble, I gabble a lot that experience of being like I feel like I'm being lifted above towards heaven. 00:31:33 Speaker 1: And then. 00:31:35 Speaker 3: The goddamned Patriots are like, oh, now we're pulling out all the stops, and I do I want to call out Drake May who's goddamn shouldered you didn't hurt with four minutes to go in the fucking Super Bowl, and uh fraught former Buffalo bill Stefan Diggs, who had a much worse night than I did. Uh holding on to a ball in the red zone after getting rocked and spitting the ball as if only to me to set up the touchdown. So too, Drake May and the Stefan Diggs for helping to ruin a one hunde twenty nine to seven perfect final score. I want to send to you this message. I would like to rear up and jet knife my legs and kick you both in the fucking jaw with my footbone. 00:32:29 Speaker 2: I wish my foot would go right through your skull. 00:32:32 Speaker 1: Do you drink before you came here? No? 00:32:34 Speaker 2: But I'm going to start drinking and then I'm going to come back and. 00:32:37 Speaker 1: Light you on fire. We remember the bad beats, we just do. It was a glorious game. I'm glad we got to watch it. We want to bring on right now. We want to do actually one quick word from our friends at Zebiotics, and then we've got an interview with our contest winner, Matt. The football season is over and o more getting up early on Sunday mornings to record a show looking forward to free and easy Saturday nights, enjoying some cocktails with our friends and family. Despite our incredible grit and resolve, we don't bounce back like we used to, and you've got kids to deal with every morning. That use to me choosing between a great night or a great next day. But that was before we tried pre alcohol zbiotics. Pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic, invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. To build up of this byproduct, not dehydration that's to bloom for rough days after drinking, pre alcohol produces

an enzyme to break down this byproduct. But just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Matt, you've got a special occasion coming up this week. Tell us about how you're going to manage this well, Chad. 00:34:15 Speaker 3: As you know, at the end of this week, I turn forty one, and so I'll be going to a fancy restaurant, enjoying cocktails with more than two ingredients, all the fanciest things, and I'm definitely going to make pre alcohol part of my routine. You just open up the fancy little box comes in these little airplane bottles. I just knock one back about an hour before I start, and the next morning, which is Valentine's Day for me, a lot of obligations there. I feel great, able to do all the things I want to do. I've got loads of energy. It's going to be great. And I know it's just a few weeks before your what I assume is you know, sixty fifth, seventy fifth birthday at the end of this month too, So I would highly recommend it. 00:35:00 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in training as we speak.

As promised a very special treat, we're being joined by the grand prize winner of the Sharper Square Pro Football Pickum Contest, presented by our friends at hard Rock Bet, who are so appreciative of by the way that they were willing to organize this contest and put together the prizing very late in the season because we know longtime listeners of the show have enjoyed doing it, and that includes our winner, Kingston Chen from the great state of New Jersey, the Bayonne Brother. I love New Jersey. Kingston. 00:36:22 Speaker 5: How you doing, Buddy, I'm doing great. Thank you guys for this interview. 00:36:27 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you did the contest. I'm so glad you are the grand prize winner. You went five to ohero in the last week of the contest. Tell us how you did it. 00:36:37 Speaker 5: A lot of the credit had to go to the Sharpen Square podcast. I don't have my old models. I don't have I don't research trends, so a lot of my insight and rationale behind those picks come from you guys. 00:36:51 Speaker 1: Damn straight Ye, what did you end up doing for your final five? 00:36:58 Speaker 5: If I remember, I think I picked the the Toros under I did the first half under. I also had Sam Donald throwing for under one point five touchdowns, JSN having no receiving touchdowns,

and Romandra Stevenson under for the rushing yards. 00:37:17 Speaker 1: Wow, so you didn't even do one of the sides. 00:37:20 Speaker 5: In my heart, I felt that Seattle was the better team, and I honestly felt they were going to blow out the Patriots. But then the episode winning up to the Super Bowl, you guys were talking about how a lot of the sharps were on the Patriots, so that gave me some doubt, and ultimately I just decided it was better just a void who was going to cover or who were gonna win the game altogether. 00:37:45 Speaker 1: Simon, you talked him out of the easiest bet of the day. 00:37:50 Speaker 2: Well, he did take a sharp sign tacking the under right, so at least he did follow some of the sharp with ticking the under, and he didn't follow the sharps by taking the Patriots. So I feel like he did. He did well well. He picked the spots. That's what's all about, right Chet, picking your spots. 00:38:03 Speaker 1: You picked your spots. All in all, he made some very sharp choices, right like you and I had debated the Jackson Smith and Jigba under half a touchdown so basically no touchdowns. We had talked about the Sam Darnold like the under. Those were the sharp sides. We were with him on the under and the Ramandre Stevenson under his total rushing yards too. Here's what's interesting to me, Simon. I'd like Kingston to explain himself here. You say, you don't do models, you don't do a ton of research. You mainly just listen to me and Simon throughout the year, and that's how you come up with your five picks. And congratulations again on winning. How is it that you're gleaning from whatever we're saying? Better is tellent information, then Simon and I are getting from whatever we're saying. 00:38:53 Speaker 5: I mean it comes down to look right, I went five and oh, but easily could have just went three or two or two and three. You know, the game could have easily went over on the totals if that Kenneth Walker touchdown wasn't called back to a flag. If Sam Darnold did in this Jsen on that throw where I think you got to step on Gonzales. As easily as I won the contest, I could have just also easily lost. Just thank you too hard rought Sex for sponsoring this contest, and it was super fun. Even if I didn't win, I still think it was really really fun. And I hope moving forward that they would do more confident like this. 00:39:28 Speaker 1: As long as we have a show, there's going to be a contest I'm holding our sponsor to and I think they saw how great it was.
