Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is straight Fire with Jason McIntire.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up Straight firefight, Am, It's me Jason McIntyre.
Straight Foyer for Friday, December the twelfth. It is a
dark morning in Tampa Bay. Oh my goodness, wait until
you hear Todd Bowles this morning. After the brutal Buccaneers
(00:34):
loss up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter with like
twelve minutes left, choke City by the Bucks, Todd Bules
dropped like six f bombs in the postgame presser. Looked
out of character. He wasn't even screaming. He was just
matter of factly just cursing up a storm. A crushing
loss to their playoff hopes. Tampa somehow has lost six
of their last eight games. Just an absolutely devastating stretch
(01:00):
for Baker Mayfield and company. And this is why we
don't make bold plroclamations in the NFL, like, oh, Baker
Mayfield's a franchise quarterback, Baker Mayfield's the MVP. I mean, guys,
they have lost six of eight and they're on the
verge of missing the playoffs. And we were talking about
him as the MVP when he beat the Niners earlier
other season. It's just crazy. We do have a good
Friday podcast. Of course, Joe Burrow made some comments and
(01:22):
it's like, oh boy, if he were an NBA player,
he would have demanded a trade and we would be
working on the trade machine. Bengals fans strap in gonna
be a tough few weeks and offseason, and then best
bets at the end of the podcast. But how can
we not talk about Falcons Bucks. I was honestly not
even that interested in this game. I had to drive
(01:42):
my daughter to a thing, and I'm watching the game.
It's like seven to seven, and then Atlanta takes the
lead and I think they're at fourteen ten. I was like,
oh cool, screw the Bucks. They screwed me last week
at Survivor losing to the Saints, right, and then, of course,
you know, second second half, Tampa takes the lead and
then there was a wacky Bjeon Robinson fumble. It was
(02:06):
like catches a slay at barely barely takes a step
to fumble, and it's like, really, that's a fumble. I mean,
everybody almost stopped playing because it didn't look like a fumble.
And then you think back to the Raven Steelers if
they were watching that game, They're like, wait, Isaiah likely
did not catch it, but Bjon Robinson caught it and fumbled.
(02:28):
I mean, it looked like almost the exact same playdown.
I didn't watch with the soundown, so I don't know
if herb Street and al Michael's reference that stuff. But
it was just a stunning fumble by Bijon and then
the Bucks score to go up fourteen points. They actually
take a fourteen point lead at home in the fourth
quarter with I don't know, thirteen minutes left. But the
(02:52):
Tampa defense has just been rotten for whatever reason. Kirk
Cousins owns Todd Bowles in that Tampa defense. Remember last
year we talked about it. Yesterday he went off, he
was cooking. He basically had Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, Davis
not not Davis Mills. Is it Davis Mills, Davis Stills?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
What is the guy's even freaking name? Yeah, I think
he's the guy, David Sills. Yes, I believe he's a
converted quarterback. Yeah. I think this was a guy who
was like a really highly touttered high school quarterback. In college,
I'll quickly look up his Wikipedia but apparently he was
some like legendary youth prospect and then just didn't totally
pan out in let's see here. Yeah, he he was
(03:35):
a big time. Yeah, a seventh grade quarterback. He got
I knew it. As a seventh grade quarterback. He garnered
national attention when he verbally committed to play at the USC.
He decommitted and signed to play at West Virginia. Started
as a quarterback, moved to wide receiver as a freshman.
So seventh grade verbally committed to USC. I mean seventh grade,
(03:55):
come on, guys. And then you know he played at
West Virginia and then went to community college and then
back to West Virginia, and he was actually a pretty
good wide receiver in college. So then it goes to
the pros and it's like, oh, yeah, this guy and
he bounced around the league whatever. Next thing, you know,
(04:18):
he's catching balls like he's like a number two receiver.
Last night, I could not believe it. I was like, really, now,
he did have a devastating drop that should have been
a touchdown. You're like, oh, that's that's not your wide
receiver too. But he did come up big later. So anyways,
Atlanta cuts the lead to twenty eight twenty and they
(04:39):
go for two, and here we go again with the outrage.
Do you want to win? And they missed the two,
So now you're instead of just kicking to be down seven,
you missed the two. Y're down eight. But it doesn't
matter because Baker throws a pick. On the next friggin
series brutal interception, Atlanta takes over and wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Kirk Cousins starts to cook. Now the big play was
Kirk Cousins in the red zone hits Darnell Mooney. Mooney
fumbles and I don't know if you saw it on
social media or on my Instagram, but guys, if you
see the situation, so Mooney fumbles and I count five
(05:27):
Tampa Bay Bucks within a yard of the ball. The
only guy you see is Mooney who's basically pinned to
the ground by a Tampa Bay player, and I just
it makes no sense. We were not given a clear replay. Now,
a Falcon lineman came in I don't even know who recovered.
Pretty bad job by the Amazon crew, but Tampa five
(05:49):
on one to recover a ball could not get it,
and of course, you know, a couple of plays later
they score the touchdown and they missed the two pointer again.
So now they're down twenty twenty six. You're like, all right,
all we need is a couple first downs from the Bucks.
This is salted away and we go to bed and
that Atlanta pick which goes to the Rams. Yeah, Atlanta
(06:13):
pick goes to the Rams. That could be like as
high as seven. You know, that would be amazing if
the Rams get the seventh pick. And then, of course,
you know what happens. Kirk Cousins can't do a damn thing.
I'm sorry, Baker Mayfield can't do a damn thing. He
ends up eating a sack and Baker got roughed up.
Let me just let me see here, how many times
you get dropped. Baker got sacked five times. Yeah, he
(06:35):
didn't have that same elusive scrambling ability. I'm seeing one
scramble for one yard. He just he wasn't himself in
the pocket. And for what In Atlanta, remember they invested
heavily in the off season in the pass rush, and
they had seven quarterback hits, they had five sacks, seven
(06:56):
tackles for loss. Pierced the young kid out of Tennessee.
I remember I like that trade, and obviously it didn't
totally pan out, but that's not his fault. Anyways, they
get the ball back and you're like, all right, Kirk,
what do you got? What do you got Kirk? And
this was a Kirk Cousin special. He basically gets drilled
in the pocket and fumbles and you're like, oh, there's
that Kirk Cousins. I know this guy meeting a field goal.
(07:18):
So it's either gonna be okay, the Falcons kicker will
miss or Kirk Cousins will throw a pick six or something.
Kirk Cousins fumbles in the pocket and there's a scramble
for the ball. The Bucks appear to come up with it.
The Bucks are all signaling we got it. A Buck
shows the football to the ref, but another ref comes
(07:38):
in and says no, they both had it the simultaneous
It stays with Atlanta. I was like, okay, and again
I'm not bashing Amazon. I just thought they rushed through this.
It wasn't totally explained. Well, I didn't see a good replay. Anyways,
this is how dire it was. Kirk Cousins is facing
third and twenty eight they were just down fourteen, third
to twenty eight. He hits compits for fourteen. So it's
(08:00):
fourth and fourteen and you know it, mister Sills coming
up big catching it on the sideline. Listen, smart receiver
went right past the first down marker hauls it in.
At that point, you're like, oh my gosh, is Tampa
really gonna lose? Are they really gonna lose? The kick
goes up and in and Tampa loses. Folks, Listen, I
(08:21):
like Todd Bowles, he was with the Jets back in
the day. I just I don't know how you survive
these losses. Because I got more bad news for you.
Next week they face the Panthers. If the Panthers beat
the Saints this week, and you will hear about that
game in best Bet, and Tampa goes to the Falcons
and I'm sorry, it goes to the Panthers and they lose.
(08:44):
A Bucks are not going to the playoffs. Bucks finished
with Dolphins and then Panthers again. I mean, Tampa was
so close to sewing up this division and now they
just can't get out of their own way. By the way,
I know not a lot of people love point differential,
but if you look at the point differential in that
division Carolina minus fifty, Tampa minus twenty seven, Falcons minus sixty,
(09:12):
Saints minus one oh nine. That division sucks once again.
Nobody's good. I'm embarrassed for Baker, who has regressed badly.
I think Todd Bowles could be in trouble. It's weird, Like,
you know, Bowls was on top of the world earlier
this year, but when you guys, when you have these collapses.
As of now, only two coaches have been fired. But
(09:33):
the way these things happen, they happen quickly like things
are snowballing. For Kevin Stefanski, it's very strange. I wouldn't
fire him two time Coach of the Year, but how
many games they win last year? Three and now they're
three to ten. If you go six and twenty four,
unless your name is Zach Taylor because the owner is
a joke, you getting fired and they have fired him
(09:56):
like Jonathan Gannon. Is it getting to the point where
if they lose another game by the like thirty points
to do they run Gannon? Or can he sell the
franchise on? Hey, Hey, we just got to get Kyler
out of here. And the injuries. I they come on.
I don't know is Gannon in trouble like I would
think dan Quinn is fine. It seems like Kevin O'Connell's fine.
(10:17):
I don't understand why he was in trouble anyway. Pete
Carroll's in deep trouble. I think Pete Carroll definitely gets run.
I think all the close covers for Aaron Glenn, he's fine.
Mike McDaniel might have saved his job. It's just it's
getting weird. I think the one to watch is the
Colt and Shane Stiken. Let's see how they perform another
game in Best Bet at the end of the podcast.
(10:37):
But wacky crazy stuff. It was not a visually appealing
football game. It was not a game that like you
had to lock in on. But you know, the last
ten minutes, we're pretty damn exciting.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, quickly, I want to touch on Joe Burrow's
comments this week before we get to Best Bets. So
it's weird. I did not make much of this. Initially,
when I heard it, I was like, oh, Joe Burrow's
being emo. He looks like a character on Dawson's Creek.
I mean, he looks so young when you look at
his face. And then you hear the comments, and I decided,
you know, how old is Joe Burrow? Was he twenty five,
(11:25):
twenty six? Joe Burrow just turned twenty nine years old
this week on Wednesday. I totally missed that. And then
you remember, oh, that's right. He went to Ohio State
and then transferred to LSU. Joe Burrow's only been in
the NFL six years. He's already twenty nine years old.
This isn't like some I don't know that he's still young.
(11:46):
I would say he's in his prime. But it's a
little wild that he's twenty nine already, right, that would
mean he's got I would say five more good years, like, yeah,
you sure you could be great at thirty five. But
the amount of injuries Burrows, like the broken leg in
year one, then they bounces back in year two, they
go to the Super Bowl, and then in year three,
healthy again, he's tremendous, and they go to the AFC
(12:11):
Championship Game. And lose to the Chiefs. Then in year
four gets injured missus six games or seven games, six
to seven. Last year, the defense was an abomination. He
was tremendous. And then this year he's been injured and
he will end up missing more than half the season.
So we're talking He's played six seasons and in half
of them he's played in ten or fewer games. That
(12:34):
doesn't bode well for the future. So when Joe Burrow
comes out and says, if I want to keep doing this,
then what am I trying to do with myself and
what And I have to have fun doing it, you know,
if it's not fun, then what am I doing it for?
So that's the mindset. Do I have fun playing? I
mean how much? Winning's always fun? But in general, was
it as fun as before? No, I wouldn't say it
(12:58):
was that way. So just remember year two you go
to the super Bowl, which was Marino. Like year three,
you are on the doorstep of the super Bowl. You're thinking, okay, boy, Burrow,
he's about to go on a run. It's Mahomes, it's Alan,
it's Burrow, and it's Lamar. Well. Of that quartet, only
two have been to the super Bowl, Burrow and Mahomes.
(13:21):
Lamar has two MVPs, Burrow has zero. He's got two
comeback Player of the Year awards, whatever the hell that's worth.
And Josh Allen zero super Bowl trips, one MVP. It's
just a weird the four horsemen, if you will. And
how about this, Burrow's definitely missing the playoffs this year. Well,
(13:43):
let me amend that Burrow is almost certainly missing the playoffs.
They have not been mathematically eliminated. They can still, I believe,
sneak in through the division, but they need all kinds
of help. They don't control their own destiny. Lamar. I
think I saw thirty three percent chance to make the
playoffs in NFL dot com. Patrick Mahomes below thirty percent
(14:04):
chance to make the playoffs. But I'll give you a
note on that during best Bets and then who's the
other one, Josh Allen. They're gonna make the playoffs. We'll
see also best bet this weekend on the Bills. But
you read those comments and you're like, oh, okay, And
then of course Schefter comes out and says people around
the league are looking at the Joe Burrow comments and
(14:26):
kind of he trails off with his well, Joe Burrow
hits the market. Listen. Cowhard has beaten this drum to
death that the Bengals are one of the cheapest organizations
in the league. I've done many radio and TV shows
with TJ. Huschminzata really really good dude, and he had
told me how they were so cheap that there was
(14:50):
a hot tub in the facility, but it was broken
and they just never fixed it, so the players I
couldn't even use it, and the food isn't great, and
they just don't really care. The owner is a penny pinching,
cheap ass, and as a result, you know, the scouting
department is like a joke. They just don't have a
lot of scouts. And as such, look at their drafts.
(15:12):
You know, Okay, they hit on Chase, Yeah, slam Dunk,
top top ten guy uh Burrow, Babe ho Brud nailed
T Higgins. I mean everybody knew T Higgins coming out
of clubs. It was a star.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
They've had a couple other hits, but by and large,
it's like, damn, they don't have the scouting department. The
owner's cheap. Now Burrow's chirping. Remember last year, he was
pissed about the defense, and I mean, how many things
can you change like it? Just the vibes are not
good around the Bengals obviously, But here's the worst part.
Like the idea of oh, we could go get Joe Burrow,
(15:46):
we could trade five first round picks for blah blah blah. Okay,
here's the problem when you look at his contract, just
Joe Burrow's spot track, Uh, he ain't go nowhere. Okay,
his cap hit this year forty six meal, his cap
hit next year forty seven mil, the year after that
fifty one mil. So his cap hit keeps going up,
(16:09):
meaning he's taken up sixteen percent of the cap, fifteen
percent of the cap, fifteen percent of the cap. That's
not great. Then there's a potential out if the Bengals
want to move up. They definitely don't want to move
on from Joe Burrow, so they've got him locked up.
And then, of course, remember there's a whole stupid franchise
tag twice nonsense, like that's the biggest problem in the NFL.
(16:29):
And I can't wait for someone to really take it
to the test that's drafted doesn't like the organization. I mean,
Joe Burrow can't be a free agent until twenty thirty,
and even then, at that point they couldag him. But
he's thirty four years old. So I've said this for
so many years. I would love someone to get drafted
by a team, not like the organization, not want to
(16:49):
be there and say, you know what, I don't care
about the money. I want out. I want to start
over in the NBA. I think it's if you do
six or seven six seven, six or seven years with
the team. But a lot of these guys come into
the NBA at eighteen or nineteen, not the case in
football football. You come in at twenty one, twenty two,
twenty three, So now you're basically locked up until thirty,
(17:12):
as opposed to the NBA, where it's like, yeah, you
can get out at like twenty six or twenty seven,
twenty a little younger. And NBA career is definitely longer
than the NFL careers. You know, Tom Brady's like a
massive exception, and we'll see Philip Rivers give it a
shot here, but he's been out a league for five years.
I just I love Burrow being pissed. The Bengals stink.
(17:33):
They've totally ruined any shot they have. I mean, Hendrickson
wants out every every off season. Somebody's basically squabbling with
ownership and they want to get paid and they're not
liking the discussion.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It just stinks.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And for a superstar like Burrow, you know, he could
be similar to Dan Marino gets to the Super Bowl
in year two and never gets there again. That's how
bleak it could be.

couch watching the gage is making money while you do it.
(18:15):
Here's your best bet.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
All right, let's move on to the best bets. Don't
have a ton yet for this weekend. I have Seattle
minus thirteen and a half. That was a few days ago.
I think it hit fourteen. Still don't know who's starting
(18:40):
for the UH for the Colts now. Thirteen is such
a big number, it's a little embarrassing. I'm not lying, guys.
I mean thirteen and a half is just a big number.
Because next week Seattle has the Rams on Thursday. Short
week My guess is they get a twenty one nothing lead,
one to seven, twenty four to seven, They're not going
(19:02):
to be putting forth the effort to guess separate margin.
I would guess that we'll see a lot of Charbonnet
or Kenneth Walker, maybe even the number three back, just
to assault this bad boy away, get out a dodge,
no injuries, and get ready for the biggest game of
the season for the Seahawks. I'm on the Niners minus
twelve and a half, and this is a problem giving
(19:23):
out double digit favor It's a stupid forty nine ers
against the Titans. I think they're going to be totally fine.
Niners off a bye. I have Christian McCaffrey in the playoffs.
Love it. Another big favorite, Texans minus nine and a half.
There is lowdown potential here against the Cardinals. It's interesting
if you look at the numbers, the AFC West is
(19:46):
the best division against the spread against any other division.
So for a while I'm just like, Okay, well, I'll
take either the Niners, the Rams, the Seahawks, and at
some times I would roll the dice with the Cardinals. Well,
I'd never seen to get that one right. This is
one of those weeks where it's like, Okay, the Rams,
be careful, they've got a huge match coming up. Seattle,
be careful. They got a big one. Houston Texans off
(20:09):
the Chiefs win. Maybe this is a week where some
chaos happens with the big favorites. I don't know. This
is how goofy I got. Guys, Okay, you know it.
There are five double digit favorites this week. Eagles against
the Raiders, Texans against the Cardinals, Jags against the Jets, Seahawks, Colts, Niners, Titans.
(20:32):
How do you not parlay all of them? Five teen parlay?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Just win?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's it. Just win. Now, you know, basically one hundred
wins about eighty four dollars. So it's not the greatest
bed in the world. And there is a world where
the Philadelphia Eagles continue to no show against the Raiders.
I don't see that happening. I see about I think
they'll be fine. I think of those five, I mean,
(20:59):
we don't even know who's starting for the Jets. I
don't think you can touch that game with any seriousness
not knowing who's starting. I see Breese Hall's dinged up,
but it looks like it's no Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor.
I don't know. Jacks are coming off a big one
over the Colts. Is there a letdown for them? I
think the Seahawks are going to be fine, and I
think the Niners are going to be fine. I would
say Houston scares me a little bit. And I don't
(21:23):
really know what to make of Jacksonville against the Jets.
You know, this is a Jacksonville team that's very Jekyll
and Hide. I like them a little more than others,
but you know that in the division, the way they
finish next week, they have a huge one at the Broncos,
then they go to the Colts and by that time
Philip Rivers should be fine, assuming he survived Seattle. And
(21:46):
then they close out with the Tittoons, who stink. So
we're looking at the Jags as like a three seed.
But I mean I like Liam Cohen a lot. I
just they worry me a little bit. But yes, for sure,
parlay the five big favorites, you know, and you can
put real money on that. But then you do the inverse, right,
(22:06):
You bet with the spread all five dogs for pizza money,
and that is a nice hefty payout should it happen.
It just you know, again, I'm not advocating parlays. Somebody's
gonna listen to this clip it off and rip me.
I'm not. That is an strictly entertainment bet right that.
There's no way you're going in thinking, oh, I'm gonna
(22:26):
cash it. This is where five hundred bucks on all
big five dogs to cover, Like, I personally think that's
as nine. Now, if you've got a lot of money,
you don't care, go for it. That's just not my style.
I don't. So those are some of my thoughts heading
into the weekend. And let's see here. I do have
a little bit on the Dolphins getting three and a
half against the Steelers. This TJ watt lung thing, he's
(22:48):
in the hospital. Yikes. I always get worried about the
Dolphins in cold weather. Though, we'll see umm teaser If
you're I got it, this is a decent teaser week.
I think if you tease the Bengals up to eight
and a half, I don't think they get blown out
by the Ravens, tease the Broncos up against the Packers,
I don't think they get blown out. And then you
(23:10):
tease the Rams down to just win the game. I
like that bet and then some others. Straight up, I
am on the Carolina Panthers minus two and a half.
Now it's heading toward three, might be there right now,
but I like the Panthers. I mean, we just watched.
I know everybody's gonna be like, well, they need to win.
(23:30):
Well yeah, but they need to win every week, right.
I do believe that the revenge spot coming off of
by they're getting healthier. This is one of the games
I wrote up for the website. I am still testing
it out just to make sure the site the picks
are for there. I have the Carolina New Orleans game
(23:53):
that I have the Packers Broncos game kind of went
a little bit heavy on the on the Broncos, I'm
sorry the Packers. On the Green Bay Packers, I really
like this matchup. I think everything lines up for the
Packers here in a big way. And I know it's
going against a team on a ten game winning streak
at home and that's a little risky, but I think
(24:15):
Green Bay Packers are the side for me and the
other I'm also gonna go on the on the Bills
minus one, So yes, I'm going against both teams on
the ten I'm fading both ten game winning streaks at
home a little risky. But here are the quarterbacks that
the New England Patriots have beat the season, in order. Okay, Tua,
(24:38):
Bryce Young, Josh Allen, Spencer Rattler, Cam Wore, Dylan Gabriel,
Michael Pennix, Baker Mayfield, Justin Fields, Joe Flacco, Jackson Dart.
So it's Josh Allen and a bunch of Jags. I mean, seriously, guys,
that is not a murderer's row. I know they already
beat Josh, but j mackay, they beat Josh Allen. What
are you talking about? Well, do you guys remember the
(25:00):
game Sunday at Football? Do you remember it? Essentially Buffalo
shot themselves in the foot three turnovers, Buffalo had eleven
penalties in that game. They were a bit of a
mess at home, and I think the Patriots walked it
off on like a fifty one yard field goal. Now,
(25:22):
Drake may was outstanding. It was almost as if the
Bills weren't really ready for them. But Buffalo. So yeah, Buffalo,
three turnovers, they had eleven penalties, They had six point
er yards per play, three hundred and sixty three yards.
They went up and down the field over fifty percent
on third downs, had more first downs than the Patriots.
They moved the ball with ease. Okay, but they had
(25:44):
three turnovers. That's a killer, and the penalties were brutal. Again,
you clean that stuff up, you're fine. I saw an
unbelievable stat on fourth down this season. The New England
Patriots are fourteen of eighteen. That is like Washington Commanders
last year with Jayden Daniels. Do you guys remember that
(26:09):
basically they could not they could they couldn't be stopped
on fourth down because Daniels was a cheat code. It
just worked amazingly well. That stuff kind of comes crashing down,
just like the close games for Kansas City. All this
stuff evens out in the end. So I think there's
a world where New England, by the way, twenty fourth
in the league in red zone touchdowns field goals are
(26:32):
not going to beat Josh Allen this time. And this
is one of those games where you want to take
a look at betting Josh Allen overs on rushing because
this is one of those Oh I gotta be superman, Yeah, okay,
I gotta do what I gotta do. We need this game,
gotta have it, Josh Allen, make your own decisions. Yeah,
so I am on the Buffalo Bills totals. I don't
(26:54):
oh Seahawks, colts under just thinking that the cult will
do nothing offensively, Browns Bears un. I don't know if
you guys saw windshills expected to be negative like two
negative four degrees. It's gonna be that cold in Chicago, shadoor.
Good luck three new offensive linemen. Yikes. So that's what
we got. If you look on my ig stories this weekend,
(27:14):
the site should be ready to go. We're at the
final stage. We're at the finished line. Just got every
time I think it's perfect, I got to clean something
up dealing with tech support. So yeah, that's been a
fun two weeks. Anyways, who everybody, have a fun weekend.
The holiday parties are starting. Be safe out there. See
This is straight Fire with Jason McIntire.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up Straight firefight, Am, It's me Jason McIntyre.
Straight Foyer for Friday, December the twelfth. It is a
dark morning in Tampa Bay. Oh my goodness, wait until
you hear Todd Bowles this morning. After the brutal Buccaneers
(00:34):
loss up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter with like
twelve minutes left, choke City by the Bucks, Todd Bules
dropped like six f bombs in the postgame presser. Looked
out of character. He wasn't even screaming. He was just
matter of factly just cursing up a storm. A crushing
loss to their playoff hopes. Tampa somehow has lost six
of their last eight games. Just an absolutely devastating stretch
(01:00):
for Baker Mayfield and company. And this is why we
don't make bold plroclamations in the NFL, like, oh, Baker
Mayfield's a franchise quarterback, Baker Mayfield's the MVP. I mean, guys,
they have lost six of eight and they're on the
verge of missing the playoffs. And we were talking about
him as the MVP when he beat the Niners earlier
other season. It's just crazy. We do have a good
Friday podcast. Of course, Joe Burrow made some comments and
(01:22):
it's like, oh boy, if he were an NBA player,
he would have demanded a trade and we would be
working on the trade machine. Bengals fans strap in gonna
be a tough few weeks and offseason, and then best
bets at the end of the podcast. But how can
we not talk about Falcons Bucks. I was honestly not
even that interested in this game. I had to drive
(01:42):
my daughter to a thing, and I'm watching the game.
It's like seven to seven, and then Atlanta takes the
lead and I think they're at fourteen ten. I was like,
oh cool, screw the Bucks. They screwed me last week
at Survivor losing to the Saints, right, and then, of course,
you know, second second half, Tampa takes the lead and
then there was a wacky Bjeon Robinson fumble. It was
(02:06):
like catches a slay at barely barely takes a step
to fumble, and it's like, really, that's a fumble. I mean,
everybody almost stopped playing because it didn't look like a fumble.
And then you think back to the Raven Steelers if
they were watching that game, They're like, wait, Isaiah likely
did not catch it, but Bjon Robinson caught it and fumbled.
(02:28):
I mean, it looked like almost the exact same playdown.
I didn't watch with the soundown, so I don't know
if herb Street and al Michael's reference that stuff. But
it was just a stunning fumble by Bijon and then
the Bucks score to go up fourteen points. They actually
take a fourteen point lead at home in the fourth
quarter with I don't know, thirteen minutes left. But the
(02:52):
Tampa defense has just been rotten for whatever reason. Kirk
Cousins owns Todd Bowles in that Tampa defense. Remember last
year we talked about it. Yesterday he went off, he
was cooking. He basically had Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, Davis
not not Davis Mills. Is it Davis Mills, Davis Stills?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
What is the guy's even freaking name? Yeah, I think
he's the guy, David Sills. Yes, I believe he's a
converted quarterback. Yeah. I think this was a guy who
was like a really highly touttered high school quarterback. In college,
I'll quickly look up his Wikipedia but apparently he was
some like legendary youth prospect and then just didn't totally
pan out in let's see here. Yeah, he he was
(03:35):
a big time. Yeah, a seventh grade quarterback. He got
I knew it. As a seventh grade quarterback. He garnered
national attention when he verbally committed to play at the USC.
He decommitted and signed to play at West Virginia. Started
as a quarterback, moved to wide receiver as a freshman.
So seventh grade verbally committed to USC. I mean seventh grade,
(03:55):
come on, guys. And then you know he played at
West Virginia and then went to community college and then
back to West Virginia, and he was actually a pretty
good wide receiver in college. So then it goes to
the pros and it's like, oh, yeah, this guy and
he bounced around the league whatever. Next thing, you know,
(04:18):
he's catching balls like he's like a number two receiver.
Last night, I could not believe it. I was like, really, now,
he did have a devastating drop that should have been
a touchdown. You're like, oh, that's that's not your wide
receiver too. But he did come up big later. So anyways,
Atlanta cuts the lead to twenty eight twenty and they
(04:39):
go for two, and here we go again with the outrage.
Do you want to win? And they missed the two,
So now you're instead of just kicking to be down seven,
you missed the two. Y're down eight. But it doesn't
matter because Baker throws a pick. On the next friggin
series brutal interception, Atlanta takes over and wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Kirk Cousins starts to cook. Now the big play was
Kirk Cousins in the red zone hits Darnell Mooney. Mooney
fumbles and I don't know if you saw it on
social media or on my Instagram, but guys, if you
see the situation, so Mooney fumbles and I count five
(05:27):
Tampa Bay Bucks within a yard of the ball. The
only guy you see is Mooney who's basically pinned to
the ground by a Tampa Bay player, and I just
it makes no sense. We were not given a clear replay. Now,
a Falcon lineman came in I don't even know who recovered.
Pretty bad job by the Amazon crew, but Tampa five
(05:49):
on one to recover a ball could not get it,
and of course, you know, a couple of plays later
they score the touchdown and they missed the two pointer again.
So now they're down twenty twenty six. You're like, all right,
all we need is a couple first downs from the Bucks.
This is salted away and we go to bed and
that Atlanta pick which goes to the Rams. Yeah, Atlanta
(06:13):
pick goes to the Rams. That could be like as
high as seven. You know, that would be amazing if
the Rams get the seventh pick. And then, of course,
you know what happens. Kirk Cousins can't do a damn thing.
I'm sorry, Baker Mayfield can't do a damn thing. He
ends up eating a sack and Baker got roughed up.
Let me just let me see here, how many times
you get dropped. Baker got sacked five times. Yeah, he
(06:35):
didn't have that same elusive scrambling ability. I'm seeing one
scramble for one yard. He just he wasn't himself in
the pocket. And for what In Atlanta, remember they invested
heavily in the off season in the pass rush, and
they had seven quarterback hits, they had five sacks, seven
(06:56):
tackles for loss. Pierced the young kid out of Tennessee.
I remember I like that trade, and obviously it didn't
totally pan out, but that's not his fault. Anyways, they
get the ball back and you're like, all right, Kirk,
what do you got? What do you got Kirk? And
this was a Kirk Cousin special. He basically gets drilled
in the pocket and fumbles and you're like, oh, there's
that Kirk Cousins. I know this guy meeting a field goal.
(07:18):
So it's either gonna be okay, the Falcons kicker will
miss or Kirk Cousins will throw a pick six or something.
Kirk Cousins fumbles in the pocket and there's a scramble
for the ball. The Bucks appear to come up with it.
The Bucks are all signaling we got it. A Buck
shows the football to the ref, but another ref comes
(07:38):
in and says no, they both had it the simultaneous
It stays with Atlanta. I was like, okay, and again
I'm not bashing Amazon. I just thought they rushed through this.
It wasn't totally explained. Well, I didn't see a good replay. Anyways,
this is how dire it was. Kirk Cousins is facing
third and twenty eight they were just down fourteen, third
to twenty eight. He hits compits for fourteen. So it's
(08:00):
fourth and fourteen and you know it, mister Sills coming
up big catching it on the sideline. Listen, smart receiver
went right past the first down marker hauls it in.
At that point, you're like, oh my gosh, is Tampa
really gonna lose? Are they really gonna lose? The kick
goes up and in and Tampa loses. Folks, Listen, I
(08:21):
like Todd Bowles, he was with the Jets back in
the day. I just I don't know how you survive
these losses. Because I got more bad news for you.
Next week they face the Panthers. If the Panthers beat
the Saints this week, and you will hear about that
game in best Bet, and Tampa goes to the Falcons
and I'm sorry, it goes to the Panthers and they lose.
(08:44):
A Bucks are not going to the playoffs. Bucks finished
with Dolphins and then Panthers again. I mean, Tampa was
so close to sewing up this division and now they
just can't get out of their own way. By the way,
I know not a lot of people love point differential,
but if you look at the point differential in that
division Carolina minus fifty, Tampa minus twenty seven, Falcons minus sixty,
(09:12):
Saints minus one oh nine. That division sucks once again.
Nobody's good. I'm embarrassed for Baker, who has regressed badly.
I think Todd Bowles could be in trouble. It's weird, Like,
you know, Bowls was on top of the world earlier
this year, but when you guys, when you have these collapses.
As of now, only two coaches have been fired. But
(09:33):
the way these things happen, they happen quickly like things
are snowballing. For Kevin Stefanski, it's very strange. I wouldn't
fire him two time Coach of the Year, but how
many games they win last year? Three and now they're
three to ten. If you go six and twenty four,
unless your name is Zach Taylor because the owner is
a joke, you getting fired and they have fired him
(09:56):
like Jonathan Gannon. Is it getting to the point where
if they lose another game by the like thirty points
to do they run Gannon? Or can he sell the
franchise on? Hey, Hey, we just got to get Kyler
out of here. And the injuries. I they come on.
I don't know is Gannon in trouble like I would
think dan Quinn is fine. It seems like Kevin O'Connell's fine.
(10:17):
I don't understand why he was in trouble anyway. Pete
Carroll's in deep trouble. I think Pete Carroll definitely gets run.
I think all the close covers for Aaron Glenn, he's fine.
Mike McDaniel might have saved his job. It's just it's
getting weird. I think the one to watch is the
Colt and Shane Stiken. Let's see how they perform another
game in Best Bet at the end of the podcast.
(10:37):
But wacky crazy stuff. It was not a visually appealing
football game. It was not a game that like you
had to lock in on. But you know, the last
ten minutes, we're pretty damn exciting.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, quickly, I want to touch on Joe Burrow's
comments this week before we get to Best Bets. So
it's weird. I did not make much of this. Initially,
when I heard it, I was like, oh, Joe Burrow's
being emo. He looks like a character on Dawson's Creek.
I mean, he looks so young when you look at
his face. And then you hear the comments, and I decided,
you know, how old is Joe Burrow? Was he twenty five,
(11:25):
twenty six? Joe Burrow just turned twenty nine years old
this week on Wednesday. I totally missed that. And then
you remember, oh, that's right. He went to Ohio State
and then transferred to LSU. Joe Burrow's only been in
the NFL six years. He's already twenty nine years old.
This isn't like some I don't know that he's still young.
(11:46):
I would say he's in his prime. But it's a
little wild that he's twenty nine already, right, that would
mean he's got I would say five more good years, like, yeah,
you sure you could be great at thirty five. But
the amount of injuries Burrows, like the broken leg in
year one, then they bounces back in year two, they
go to the Super Bowl, and then in year three,
healthy again, he's tremendous, and they go to the AFC
(12:11):
Championship Game. And lose to the Chiefs. Then in year
four gets injured missus six games or seven games, six
to seven. Last year, the defense was an abomination. He
was tremendous. And then this year he's been injured and
he will end up missing more than half the season.
So we're talking He's played six seasons and in half
of them he's played in ten or fewer games. That
(12:34):
doesn't bode well for the future. So when Joe Burrow
comes out and says, if I want to keep doing this,
then what am I trying to do with myself and
what And I have to have fun doing it, you know,
if it's not fun, then what am I doing it for?
So that's the mindset. Do I have fun playing? I
mean how much? Winning's always fun? But in general, was
it as fun as before? No, I wouldn't say it
(12:58):
was that way. So just remember year two you go
to the super Bowl, which was Marino. Like year three,
you are on the doorstep of the super Bowl. You're thinking, okay, boy, Burrow,
he's about to go on a run. It's Mahomes, it's Alan,
it's Burrow, and it's Lamar. Well. Of that quartet, only
two have been to the super Bowl, Burrow and Mahomes.
(13:21):
Lamar has two MVPs, Burrow has zero. He's got two
comeback Player of the Year awards, whatever the hell that's worth.
And Josh Allen zero super Bowl trips, one MVP. It's
just a weird the four horsemen, if you will. And
how about this, Burrow's definitely missing the playoffs this year. Well,
(13:43):
let me amend that Burrow is almost certainly missing the playoffs.
They have not been mathematically eliminated. They can still, I believe,
sneak in through the division, but they need all kinds
of help. They don't control their own destiny. Lamar. I
think I saw thirty three percent chance to make the
playoffs in NFL dot com. Patrick Mahomes below thirty percent
(14:04):
chance to make the playoffs. But I'll give you a
note on that during best Bets and then who's the
other one, Josh Allen. They're gonna make the playoffs. We'll
see also best bet this weekend on the Bills. But
you read those comments and you're like, oh, okay, And
then of course Schefter comes out and says people around
the league are looking at the Joe Burrow comments and
(14:26):
kind of he trails off with his well, Joe Burrow
hits the market. Listen. Cowhard has beaten this drum to
death that the Bengals are one of the cheapest organizations
in the league. I've done many radio and TV shows
with TJ. Huschminzata really really good dude, and he had
told me how they were so cheap that there was
(14:50):
a hot tub in the facility, but it was broken
and they just never fixed it, so the players I
couldn't even use it, and the food isn't great, and
they just don't really care. The owner is a penny pinching,
cheap ass, and as a result, you know, the scouting
department is like a joke. They just don't have a
lot of scouts. And as such, look at their drafts.
(15:12):
You know, Okay, they hit on Chase, Yeah, slam Dunk,
top top ten guy uh Burrow, Babe ho Brud nailed
T Higgins. I mean everybody knew T Higgins coming out
of clubs. It was a star.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
They've had a couple other hits, but by and large,
it's like, damn, they don't have the scouting department. The
owner's cheap. Now Burrow's chirping. Remember last year, he was
pissed about the defense, and I mean, how many things
can you change like it? Just the vibes are not
good around the Bengals obviously, But here's the worst part.
Like the idea of oh, we could go get Joe Burrow,
(15:46):
we could trade five first round picks for blah blah blah. Okay,
here's the problem when you look at his contract, just
Joe Burrow's spot track, Uh, he ain't go nowhere. Okay,
his cap hit this year forty six meal, his cap
hit next year forty seven mil, the year after that
fifty one mil. So his cap hit keeps going up,
(16:09):
meaning he's taken up sixteen percent of the cap, fifteen
percent of the cap, fifteen percent of the cap. That's
not great. Then there's a potential out if the Bengals
want to move up. They definitely don't want to move
on from Joe Burrow, so they've got him locked up.
And then, of course, remember there's a whole stupid franchise
tag twice nonsense, like that's the biggest problem in the NFL.
(16:29):
And I can't wait for someone to really take it
to the test that's drafted doesn't like the organization. I mean,
Joe Burrow can't be a free agent until twenty thirty,
and even then, at that point they couldag him. But
he's thirty four years old. So I've said this for
so many years. I would love someone to get drafted
by a team, not like the organization, not want to
(16:49):
be there and say, you know what, I don't care
about the money. I want out. I want to start
over in the NBA. I think it's if you do
six or seven six seven, six or seven years with
the team. But a lot of these guys come into
the NBA at eighteen or nineteen, not the case in
football football. You come in at twenty one, twenty two,
twenty three, So now you're basically locked up until thirty,
(17:12):
as opposed to the NBA, where it's like, yeah, you
can get out at like twenty six or twenty seven,
twenty a little younger. And NBA career is definitely longer
than the NFL careers. You know, Tom Brady's like a
massive exception, and we'll see Philip Rivers give it a
shot here, but he's been out a league for five years.
I just I love Burrow being pissed. The Bengals stink.
(17:33):
They've totally ruined any shot they have. I mean, Hendrickson
wants out every every off season. Somebody's basically squabbling with
ownership and they want to get paid and they're not
liking the discussion.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It just stinks.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And for a superstar like Burrow, you know, he could
be similar to Dan Marino gets to the Super Bowl
in year two and never gets there again. That's how
bleak it could be.

couch watching the gage is making money while you do it.
(18:15):
Here's your best bet.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
All right, let's move on to the best bets. Don't
have a ton yet for this weekend. I have Seattle
minus thirteen and a half. That was a few days ago.
I think it hit fourteen. Still don't know who's starting
(18:40):
for the UH for the Colts now. Thirteen is such
a big number, it's a little embarrassing. I'm not lying, guys.
I mean thirteen and a half is just a big number.
Because next week Seattle has the Rams on Thursday. Short
week My guess is they get a twenty one nothing lead,
one to seven, twenty four to seven, They're not going
(19:02):
to be putting forth the effort to guess separate margin.
I would guess that we'll see a lot of Charbonnet
or Kenneth Walker, maybe even the number three back, just
to assault this bad boy away, get out a dodge,
no injuries, and get ready for the biggest game of
the season for the Seahawks. I'm on the Niners minus
twelve and a half, and this is a problem giving
(19:23):
out double digit favor It's a stupid forty nine ers
against the Titans. I think they're going to be totally fine.
Niners off a bye. I have Christian McCaffrey in the playoffs.
Love it. Another big favorite, Texans minus nine and a half.
There is lowdown potential here against the Cardinals. It's interesting
if you look at the numbers, the AFC West is
(19:46):
the best division against the spread against any other division.
So for a while I'm just like, Okay, well, I'll
take either the Niners, the Rams, the Seahawks, and at
some times I would roll the dice with the Cardinals. Well,
I'd never seen to get that one right. This is
one of those weeks where it's like, Okay, the Rams,
be careful, they've got a huge match coming up. Seattle,
be careful. They got a big one. Houston Texans off
(20:09):
the Chiefs win. Maybe this is a week where some
chaos happens with the big favorites. I don't know. This
is how goofy I got. Guys, Okay, you know it.
There are five double digit favorites this week. Eagles against
the Raiders, Texans against the Cardinals, Jags against the Jets, Seahawks, Colts, Niners, Titans.
(20:32):
How do you not parlay all of them? Five teen parlay?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Just win?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's it. Just win. Now, you know, basically one hundred
wins about eighty four dollars. So it's not the greatest
bed in the world. And there is a world where
the Philadelphia Eagles continue to no show against the Raiders.
I don't see that happening. I see about I think
they'll be fine. I think of those five, I mean,
(20:59):
we don't even know who's starting for the Jets. I
don't think you can touch that game with any seriousness
not knowing who's starting. I see Breese Hall's dinged up,
but it looks like it's no Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor.
I don't know. Jacks are coming off a big one
over the Colts. Is there a letdown for them? I
think the Seahawks are going to be fine, and I
think the Niners are going to be fine. I would
say Houston scares me a little bit. And I don't
(21:23):
really know what to make of Jacksonville against the Jets.
You know, this is a Jacksonville team that's very Jekyll
and Hide. I like them a little more than others,
but you know that in the division, the way they
finish next week, they have a huge one at the Broncos,
then they go to the Colts and by that time
Philip Rivers should be fine, assuming he survived Seattle. And
(21:46):
then they close out with the Tittoons, who stink. So
we're looking at the Jags as like a three seed.
But I mean I like Liam Cohen a lot. I
just they worry me a little bit. But yes, for sure,
parlay the five big favorites, you know, and you can
put real money on that. But then you do the inverse, right,
(22:06):
You bet with the spread all five dogs for pizza money,
and that is a nice hefty payout should it happen.
It just you know, again, I'm not advocating parlays. Somebody's
gonna listen to this clip it off and rip me.
I'm not. That is an strictly entertainment bet right that.
There's no way you're going in thinking, oh, I'm gonna
(22:26):
cash it. This is where five hundred bucks on all
big five dogs to cover, Like, I personally think that's
as nine. Now, if you've got a lot of money,
you don't care, go for it. That's just not my style.
I don't. So those are some of my thoughts heading
into the weekend. And let's see here. I do have
a little bit on the Dolphins getting three and a
half against the Steelers. This TJ watt lung thing, he's
(22:48):
in the hospital. Yikes. I always get worried about the
Dolphins in cold weather. Though, we'll see umm teaser If
you're I got it, this is a decent teaser week.
I think if you tease the Bengals up to eight
and a half, I don't think they get blown out
by the Ravens, tease the Broncos up against the Packers,
I don't think they get blown out. And then you
(23:10):
tease the Rams down to just win the game. I
like that bet and then some others. Straight up, I
am on the Carolina Panthers minus two and a half.
Now it's heading toward three, might be there right now,
but I like the Panthers. I mean, we just watched.
I know everybody's gonna be like, well, they need to win.
(23:30):
Well yeah, but they need to win every week, right.
I do believe that the revenge spot coming off of
by they're getting healthier. This is one of the games
I wrote up for the website. I am still testing
it out just to make sure the site the picks
are for there. I have the Carolina New Orleans game
(23:53):
that I have the Packers Broncos game kind of went
a little bit heavy on the on the Broncos, I'm
sorry the Packers. On the Green Bay Packers, I really
like this matchup. I think everything lines up for the
Packers here in a big way. And I know it's
going against a team on a ten game winning streak
at home and that's a little risky, but I think
(24:15):
Green Bay Packers are the side for me and the
other I'm also gonna go on the on the Bills
minus one, So yes, I'm going against both teams on
the ten I'm fading both ten game winning streaks at
home a little risky. But here are the quarterbacks that
the New England Patriots have beat the season, in order. Okay, Tua,
(24:38):
Bryce Young, Josh Allen, Spencer Rattler, Cam Wore, Dylan Gabriel,
Michael Pennix, Baker Mayfield, Justin Fields, Joe Flacco, Jackson Dart.
So it's Josh Allen and a bunch of Jags. I mean, seriously, guys,
that is not a murderer's row. I know they already
beat Josh, but j mackay, they beat Josh Allen. What
are you talking about? Well, do you guys remember the
(25:00):
game Sunday at Football? Do you remember it? Essentially Buffalo
shot themselves in the foot three turnovers, Buffalo had eleven
penalties in that game. They were a bit of a
mess at home, and I think the Patriots walked it
off on like a fifty one yard field goal. Now,
(25:22):
Drake may was outstanding. It was almost as if the
Bills weren't really ready for them. But Buffalo. So yeah, Buffalo,
three turnovers, they had eleven penalties, They had six point
er yards per play, three hundred and sixty three yards.
They went up and down the field over fifty percent
on third downs, had more first downs than the Patriots.
They moved the ball with ease. Okay, but they had
(25:44):
three turnovers. That's a killer, and the penalties were brutal. Again,
you clean that stuff up, you're fine. I saw an
unbelievable stat on fourth down this season. The New England
Patriots are fourteen of eighteen. That is like Washington Commanders
last year with Jayden Daniels. Do you guys remember that
(26:09):
basically they could not they could they couldn't be stopped
on fourth down because Daniels was a cheat code. It
just worked amazingly well. That stuff kind of comes crashing down,
just like the close games for Kansas City. All this
stuff evens out in the end. So I think there's
a world where New England, by the way, twenty fourth
in the league in red zone touchdowns field goals are
(26:32):
not going to beat Josh Allen this time. And this
is one of those games where you want to take
a look at betting Josh Allen overs on rushing because
this is one of those Oh I gotta be superman, Yeah, okay,
I gotta do what I gotta do. We need this game,
gotta have it, Josh Allen, make your own decisions. Yeah,
so I am on the Buffalo Bills totals. I don't
(26:54):
oh Seahawks, colts under just thinking that the cult will
do nothing offensively, Browns Bears un. I don't know if
you guys saw windshills expected to be negative like two
negative four degrees. It's gonna be that cold in Chicago, shadoor.
Good luck three new offensive linemen. Yikes. So that's what
we got. If you look on my ig stories this weekend,
(27:14):
the site should be ready to go. We're at the
final stage. We're at the finished line. Just got every
time I think it's perfect, I got to clean something
up dealing with tech support. So yeah, that's been a
fun two weeks. Anyways, who everybody, have a fun weekend.
The holiday parties are starting. Be safe out there. See

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
