You're welcome, are you? It's time now Betty versus the Penny.
(00:42):
That is, we are in Week eleven of the NFL season.
Betty versus the Penny. Every single NFL game against the spread,
all the numbers all add for your dancing and dining pleasure.
We will not talk about the Packers, Giants, the Seahawks,
and the tight because they ain't playing. We already gave
(01:02):
you the pick on the radio of the Cleveland Pittsburgh game,
which was played back on Thursday night. So the way
this works it is meet Ben along with David Gascon,
who is dying dying to make an announcement before we
actually get to Benny Versus the Penny guest, go on
right now? You want to do this before because most
people don't listen to the whole podcast. Right, most people
(01:23):
don't listen to the whole podcast. But I thought this
was a part of Benny Versus the Penny. Oh, are
we okay? All right? Yeah, we'll do that, all right.
So here's the thing. All right, so before we get
to the actual NFL games, you want to hear Gascon
is recommending that we discussed this Friday night. You didn't
hear the other podcast Friday night. I have been dragged back.
I've been on television in a fair amount of time,
(01:45):
and I will be doing some television. I will be
doing some television on Friday Night. And it'll be a
high school game for Fox, right, so you better watch.
That's right? Yeah, And I'm the color commentary. I'm adding
the flavor. You're I'm flavor flavor. We're gonna bring out
a gold chain. Now. I sat next to the one
(02:08):
time in a Laker again. That guy's a trip. He's
a trip, man. I don't know, it's not even cool.
He's not even a cool guy anymore, right, come on,
I don't know. Oh he's still name dropping anyways, I
learned it from you. All Right. So there's a there's
a high school game Friday night. It's Jay Sarah versus
a Santenno's a southern California high school game. And you
(02:29):
can actually watch this on what is the Fox Sports
go app? Guest that up? Yeah? So I mean, and
so the way I'm thinking about this, if a lot
of Mallar militia people watch, like they might, they might
bring me back. Right, this could become a regular thing.
What do you want to do ask Ben during the game?
Oh yeah, if it's a boring game, we'll do ask Ben.
That'd be great. We'll take questions from like I'll put
(02:51):
Doc mic on, We'll get Lance to the bus driver,
We'll get Jay Scoop from Seattle, Bill and Iowa. Yeah,
you want me to plug your fucking show Justin and Cincinnati. Yeah, yeah,
I want you to introduce me a man that has
been blocked by Deshaun Watson and Dom COONSU William Shatner.
And yeah, I still got to figure the open and
(03:13):
how I'm going to introduce you, so I understand, well,
listen to handicap the game now, all right, So there's
no point spread as far as I know in high
school football. I don't think they put pointspreds out of
high school fotball. But I would imagine Centennial looking at
the stats and the records, I would think Centennial high
powered offense, several blue chip recruits there on that team.
(03:35):
The Jay Sarah team a younger team, I would think
Centennial's favored by like seven to ten points. However, I
think there's value with Jay Sarah here. Guess so to
handicap the game, to pick his in, I am gonna
take Jay Sarah to cover the pointspred. Centennial wins the game,
but Jay Sarah will be able to cover the point spread.
(03:56):
I love this running but I was watching some videos.
I've never even heard of this guy, Chris Street, this
running back for Jay Sarah. Who's uh he's he looks
like Darren Sprowles to me, a little small guy with
these huge thighs that runs through you can't even see him,
and then and then he just bulls you over, and uh,
I guess he's going to cal Right, what's it? Where
beast mode went, so I think the key obviously, when
(04:18):
you're on the road in a hostile environment. I learned
this from the NFL gas Gun. You have to yeah,
play Conservant, run the ball, take time off the clock, right,
and they have a great running back. Now, obviously Centennial
is gonna bottle up and try to stop Chris Stewart
and and and force Jay Sarah to to win the
game through the air. But I love it. This guy's
been been great and uh, I think you can. You
(04:39):
can hang around, keep the game close, playoff game guys
will be nervous. So I'm gonna take Jay Sarah plus
the points to cover the spread against Centennial. But Centennial
will win the game at Husky Stadium, which I thought
was in Seattle, but apparently it's in Corona, California. I
had no idea. How about that for handicapping job, guest gun.
(05:01):
You didn't give the temperature. You didn't give the broadcasters.
It'll be seventy five degrees that kick off. And to
make sure they spell my name right, all right, they
gotta spell my name correct. Please. You forgot the score too,
I forgot the score. Ye oh, the final score, all right?
The final score will be Centennial thirty eight, Jay Sarah
(05:22):
thirty one. That bomb and the Penny picks Penny is
going centennial. Oh, we have disagreement. We disagree. I just
pick underdogs, guest good, That's what I do. I pick underdogs.
I'm an underdog player, That's what That's how I roll. Plus,
I gotta I gotta pick my OC guys. You know
(05:43):
Jay Sarah, which was a high school I'm so old
it didn't even exist. Yeah, but this this conference they're in,
it just blew me away. When I was doing some
research here and I saw modern day in Saint John
Bosco and all the Santa Margarite. When I was in
high school, we played Santa Margarita and they were amazing.
Brian Finneran who was a receiver for the Atlanta Falcons.
(06:03):
He had a twin brother he played at Santa Margarita.
We played them my senior year in high school. I
believe we lost that game forty nine to three. It
just kicked our ass and h So that was that
was kind of cool. I bet you didn't think that
in twenty nineteen you'd be handicapping a prep game. No,
I have not done a high school game since I
(06:24):
was at like Saddleback College. This is crazy, but I'm
actually kind of excited about it because, as my wife says,
you have to go outside your comfort zone from time
at a time. So I'll just have fun. It'll be fun.
We'll have a good time with it. And remember, we
need the Mallard militia because I think if the Mallard
Militia watches this, because they can count how many people
are watching the scream, that that will encourage them to
(06:46):
uh maybe pay us more and use me. Again. I
don't want to do it every week, but once in
a while. I think it would be fun. Once they
play once a week, what the fuck you can? Very
busy man, I'm a very busy man, guest, gun, very
very busy. All right, are we done with that? We
move on? Can we actually get to the NFL games
that people wanted to hear? Yes, you could have yeah,
of course. Be sure to catch live editions of The

I discover the forest dot org, brought to you by

before we look ahead, we must look back. I did
not lose a game last week, and we tend guest god,
not a single incorrect thing. It's the first time in
(08:54):
my life I've gotten every game correct. Thank you very much.
Where's my congratulatory tweet? I a perfect week last week?
That's right, perfection. I'd like to give an applause to
(09:14):
the nurses, the doctors, dancetsiologists, everyone that was able to
get you in the upright position and eventually out of
the hospital. But well, it's good I didn't get like
staff infection or gang green or something like that. You
hear these stories about people that go to the hospital.
You're like, oh, man especial out of Cleveland, Right, wasn't
like a span of three or four players and a
(09:35):
two year span? Yeah, yeah, it was Tampa Bay. It
was Tampa Bay that had that. Yeah, a big problem.
All right, So it's week eleven. We did the Thursday
game on the radio, So we'll start out with Dallas
at Detroit. Now, the way this works on the handicapping side.
We break down every game, We give you some information
on every game, and and then if you if you
(09:55):
agree the way it should work. If you agree, you
do your own work, and if we line up. That's
a game she's probably been on. So Dallas five and four,
Detroit three, five and one. It's on Fox with Kevin
Burkhardt and Charles Davis. I'm sorry, this is not a
Dick Stockton game. Guess God, but you've got the Cowboys
who opened up a two and a half point favorite.
They have skyrocketed all the way up to six and
(10:16):
a half as a road favorite. It's sunny thirty three
degrees outside of ford Field, Detroit at kickoff on Sunday afternoon,
the early TV window. The pick is in and I
am taking the Detroit Lions. I am taking the Lions
here now, Matt Patricia and Detroit are going to attempt
(10:39):
to do what everyone does against the Cowboys and stop
Zeke Elliott and forced Dak Prescott to beat them. Even
if they are successful, it won't matter. Why is that?
Because it's looking like Matthew Stafford he's gonna miss this start,
which means Jeff Driskell will get another opportunity to start
for Detroit. In his first start with the Lions, his
(11:01):
claim to fame as he ran for thirty seven yards.
And the reason that's interesting is because he led the
Lions and rushing. He's the fifth different player the last
five games to lead the Lions and rushing. That's not good,
especially only had thirty seven yards. Now now, Secondly, the
Lions Achilles Heel happens to be in their secondary and
(11:22):
so while they would like to force Dak Prescott to
beat them, I think we all know that that likely
is something that Dak will be able to do. Everyone
is pollar rising the Detroit Lions defense. Detroit is twenty
eight in past defense. They're allowing two hundred and seventy
two yards per game. Now, the reason I'm taking the Lions.
(11:42):
You know, Jason Garrett's team lost to the Jets, so
anything is possible. If you lose to the Jets and
you're the Cowboys, you can certainly lose to the Lions,
who I believe are about the same maybe a little
better than the Jets. Right, and the beleaguered cowboy coach
you figure out even he can't screw it up. But
then you're like, well, I think this game will be
(12:04):
a closer game. I love home dogs. I like the
home doggie and the Cowboys they have a much more
important game for them against the Patriots. So this is
a peekaboo game where Dallas. You figure they'll be focused
because they lost to the Vikings last week and they've
not been playing very well lately. But it's a much
bigger game with the Cowboys next week with a lot
(12:27):
of national flavor to it. There's no national flavor to
this Dallas Detroit game. So the Cowboys will win, but
they won't cover the spread. Cowboys twenty eight. Jeff Drisco
on the Lions twenty four. Penny does not like your decision.
Go with the Dallas Cowboys, all right? Next up New
Orleans at Tampa Bay. The Saints seven to two, the
(12:47):
Bucks are three and six. It's on Fox, and are
we playing the Dick Stockton game? Yeah, we can. This
is not a Dick Stockton game, that is correct. It
is a Tom Brennaman Chris Spielman game. They will have
a call now. The line on this game. The Saints
opened up a five point favorite. They're a five and
a half point favorite. The New Orleans Saints favorite by
five and a half. Here. The weather mostly sunny, sixty
(13:10):
five degrees at kickoff at Raymond James Stadium for Bruce Arians,
my brother from a different mother. We wear the same hat.
And I'm gonna take the Buccaneers here, and I admit
this is not one of my greater picks, but I'm
just feeling the Buccaneers. And I'll tell you why. Drew
Brees not only did he look old against the foulcons
(13:31):
last week, but he also apparently has some kind of
rib problem, and I believe he's so stubborn he's just
going to continue playing and try to play through it
because he doesn't want to go to the bench and
then have Teddy Bridgewater light up the scoreboard again. So
something Bizarro is happening here. I would agree with most
casual people that the on paper, the Saints should win
(13:51):
this game by forty points, but they still got to
play the game. It's a road matchup generally that's problematic
over this great run of Saints football. They're not nearly
as lethal outside to buy you as they are in Louisiana.
Most teams are not as good on the road as
at home. But the Saints also as road favorites by
(14:12):
four or more points, have a three eighty five winning
percentage under Sean Payton in the recent years, and that's
that's also something to the factor, and that's not great.
Road favorites generally not a great formula to make a
lot of money. And secondly, Tampa, now they're not a
good team. They should be able to stop the running game.
(14:32):
Alvin Kamara that they've been effective against the run because
no one's even trying to run. Everyone can throw against.
The Bucks have the NFL's worst pass defense. They're allowing
two hundred ninety eight point nine yards per game. So
for me, I'm gonna need Jamis Winsted to make a
bunch of big plays. He's also thrown a bunch of
big pass numbers up. In fact, Winston's got the longest
(14:54):
active streak of three hundred plus passing games four straight
divisional games or generally close by nature. I am going
to cover my eyes here, and I'm gonna take the
Buccaneers to hang around, hang around, take that home dog
divisional game. It's not seven points, but it's five and
(15:16):
a half. Saints twenty six, Bucks twenty three Penny going
that way, going with the Buccaneers. So do we have
time to get trivial? Should we knock trivial stuff out
of there? Yeah? You know, I have a question for you,
but I'll ask you when we come to that game
in DC. But yeah, le's get trivial day, all right.
Matt Ryan needs two hundred and fifty four yards to
(15:36):
surpass Blank for the tenth most passing yards in NFL history.
Mattie Ice, he needs two hundred and fifty four yards
this weekend to pass Blank for the most or the
tenth most passing yards in NFL history. Give you the
answer in a couple of minutes. Here speaking of Atlanta,
the Falcons two and seven Carolina five and four. Is
(15:57):
this the Dick Stockton game? It is not. You are wrong,
You lose the Dick Stockton. This is the Dick Stockton game.
Our friend Dick and Mark Schlayrith have the call on Fox.
I bet you Dick Stockton wishes he was doing the
prep zone game on Friday, but he's not. He's not
allowed to do it. I think his paychecks probably a
little bit heavier. I do not think. I do not
(16:17):
think that at all anyway, this and the Panthers opened
a seven point favorite. Carolina is favored by five and
a half. The weather here mostly sunny, fifty two degrees
at kickoff at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It's a divisional matchup. The Falcons are my pick. I'm
gonna take Atlanta here, and I'll give you my logic
(16:39):
behind it now. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey a is a great player.
He's been mister consistent. He's gone seven straight games with
a rushing touchdown. He'll get his numbers here against Atlanta.
But I am banking on the Falcons trying to build
on what they did last week and not just being
satisfied that was their super Bowl. They won a game
against the Saints. They're gonna come back and commit commit
(17:00):
to the things they did last week. They changed the
defensive play calling and I don't know who the guy is.
I don't have his name hereybody, but they took it
away from the head coach and it obviously worked. The
Saints had nine points. That's it. Nine points. Now, this
is a game that you would figure Atlanta, if they
follow those same principles, should be able to attack Kyle Allen,
(17:21):
who cooled off a bit after playing pretty well the
first couple of weeks. He's been okay, but he hasn't
gotten better. Hasn't gotten better now be the big difference
is defensive tenacity. If you look at the numbers, but
you came. The Panthers lead the NFL in sacks. They've
got the most by any team through nine games since
the Chiefs back in twenty thirteen. The Falcons they are
(17:44):
thirtieth in sacks, which means that Kyle Allen should have
plenty of time to do his team his thing. But
Atlanta had six sacks against the Saints last week. So
that's why I'm saying you got to throw the numbers out,
because if that Atlanta team shows up, if you get
six sacks against the Saints, you should be able to
get four or five sacks against Carolina using simpleton knowledge.
(18:07):
So despite all that, this is also a peak a
boo situation for Carolina. They have a key NFC South
matchup with the New Orleans Saints next week, and they're
they're still thinking Carolina they can catch New Orleans in
the division. New Orleans is seven and two, Carolina is
five and four. Carolina wins this game, they get to
six wins. Let's say New Orleans stumbles in Tampa and
(18:30):
all of a sudden, next week's matchup becomes unbelievably important
and can shake up the NFC South. So when you
got the peak a boo situation and all that, and
Atlanta team feeling pretty good, hopefully they don't just pack
it and start sucking their thumb in the fetal position.
I am going to take the Carolina Panthers to win,
(18:52):
but I'm gonna take the Falcons to cover. So thirty
one thirty guests go hide the pregnant pause there. It's
all good because you don't look pregnant anymore. Petty's going
with the Panthers. I feel pregnant, though I do well,

Ryan needs two hundred and fifty four yards to surpass
blank for the tenth most passing yards at NFL history.
Fill in the blank, guest guard, show me your lightning bull?
(21:25):
Does it? Dan Fouts? Dan Fouts a great name. Nineteen
seventies eighties Chargers Football, San Diego Chargers. I love the
San Diego Chargers, No correct answer. Warren move. Hall of
Famer Warren moves the Oilers. The Oilers and a bunch
of other takings bounced around Chiefs the NFL. I think
(21:48):
he played with the Seahawks also at that's right? And
is he still a Seahawks broadcaster? Who knows Jacksonville four
and five at Indianapolis five and four? It's on CBS.
Is Andrew Catalan and James Loft didn't have the call? Now?
The Colts opened a three and a half point favorite.
They are favored now by two and a half to me,
(22:09):
mostly cloudy forty one degrees at kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium,
and the pigger is in. I'm gonna take Jacksonville in
this game. Now. A couple of things. Number one, Nick Foles,
he's back. I don't know if that's a good thing
or not. I like Gardner Minshew, but minshew mania ran
out of gas. You know that whole thing. Is it
(22:32):
a fad or is it a trend? Well, it appears
that minshew mania was a fad, not a trend. Unfortunately,
Hopefully he'll be back at some point. I like the guy,
but he did not play as well. The more he played,
the more teams figured him out. I have no idea
what to expect from Nick Foles. He's a second rate
quarterback in my book, who had an out of body
experience in Philadelphia. If the Colts had a losing record,
(22:56):
I would certainly like Jacksonville more. In this game. The
Jags are feign against teams with a five hundred winning
percentage or lower, but oh and five against teams that
are currently above five hundred, where Indianapolis is five and four,
And you look at the numbers recently, it's not been good.
The Jags are just two and seven against divisional opponents
since the start of last year, and the only teams
(23:19):
worse have been the Bengals and the Jets. It's not
good now. The second thing here for Indy it appears
that Jacobe Brissette, who's had a knee problem, didn't play
last week. He's expected to start, at least as the
time we're recording the podcast, he's going to start. And
that's a relief because Brian Hoyer completely screwed up against
the Dolphins. Hoyer has lost all all of his last
(23:41):
ten starts with four different teams and lose the Dolphins.
I mean, what are you doing and you're at home
and you got that roster. I know Vinetaris messed up
and all that. The Colts roster has been crippled. It's
not Brissett's coming back, but there's a bunch of other
guys that are either playing injured or not playing at
all on both sides of the ball. So I'm not
(24:01):
that confident in Nick Foles two point zero. But the
fact that the Colts roster is dinged up and Jacobe
Brissett likely will not be quite himself with the knee
and all that, I am all about that action. Boss.
Jacksonville will win this game out right. People say, what's
wrong with the Colts? How do they lose back to
(24:23):
back to back? Here, I'll take Jacksonville twenty Colt sixteen.
Petty likes the way you think going to Jacksonville Jaguars.

I don't even have to read it because anything on

and six at Minnesota seven and three, it's on CBS.
My tribute to Pat Summer All. Kevin Harlan and Rich
Gannon have the call. The Vikings opened up a ten
(26:50):
and a half point favorite. They are currently favored by
ten and a half. It's gonna be cloudy in thirty
six in the Twin Cities outside of US Banks Stadium.
Would be fine inside the dome. I'm gonna take the Broncos,
your Broncos in this game. Now. First of all, Denver
was able to squeeze past Cleveland, and it wasn't even
really a squeeze past because they were leading by I
(27:12):
think it was twelve points going to the fourth quarter
in that game. That was Brandon Allen's maiden voyage in Denver,
and they then had to buy a week and now
they get another chance to Alan does to show that
he's not a bum. Good luck, because Drew Locke is
lurking in the shadows there. He's going to be the
guy locked. It eventually ends up taking over, but Alan,
(27:33):
with a very conservative remedial game plan, was surprisingly solid.
The only attempted twenty passes, he completed twelve of them.
He had a couple of touchdowns, no interceptions. The issue
here it's obviously gonna be much harder against the Vikings
defense than it is against the Browns defense, and also
Vic Fangio's team, the Fatal Fly. I would really like
(27:54):
the Broncos more if they were able to create mistakes.
The Broncos have not forced a single term and over
in six games this season, so there's only three games
they forced to turnover. That is tied for the most
zero takeaway games in any season in franchise history. This
is historically bad Bronco defense as far as forcing turnovers. Now,
(28:17):
the second thing here, Minnesota. My main reason for taking
the Broncos is more against miss so I love Minnesota.
They should win the game, but Minnesota has been celebrated
not as much as the Ravens, but close all week
for beating the Cowboys in the Sunday and night game.
That's great, but I suspect they are going to have
trouble focusing. They're gonna be caught looking in the mirror
(28:40):
at how beautiful they look, and they don't because everyone's
been kissing their ass here and as a result, I
expect them to not fully be prepared in this game
is a classical letdown spot against a team with a
losing record. The Broncos defense, while they haven't forced turnovers,
they've been pretty good against the past and all Denver
(29:00):
has to do is find a little success with Philip
Lindsay running the ball and they will cover the number.
It's a double digit line. Here's a fun fact that
Broncos are nine and two when Philip Lindsley rushes for
at least seventy yards. When he doesn't, when he's held
under seventy, they're own thirteen. That's my fun fact. That's
a good fact. Thank you. Vikings twenty seven Broncos twenty
(29:27):
some odor reason. The penny is going with the Broncos too. Yeah,
I think I know the reason for that, but we
will not say. Next up the Jets jet Ets suck, Suck, Suck,
Suck suck at two and seven and Washington. Now, see,
here's the question I have for you. Is one today
eight Since you were on vacation last week at the hospital. Yeah,
I had to pay homage to you, so I like
(29:48):
to not to do the podcasts. Yeah, I told you
to do the podcast. I didn't want to. Well, I
actually I did want to. What you wanted me to
do the podcast with you from the hospital gurney, I did. Yes,
you wanted me to wear my hospital gown like the
moo yah. But I also have a of a female
friend based in New York. Congratulations, you have a female
(30:10):
and uh I was gonna have her come on and
be alongside me for the journey. But she is a
huge Jets fan and a huge utah Utes fan. So um,
so I need to get permission from you that next
time you're in the hospital, we can do this without you.
Oh yeah, I don't Well, I might be in the
hospital next week, who knows. No, come on, last time,
(30:30):
I brought you on the air with me. I lost
a job. So I lost a job. Yeah, remember twenty sixteen,
that right, we were in baklah We mean, that's right,
we're in Bakersfield. Brought you in the air, and then
I lost a job, like the whole team franchise closed down. Yeah,
that was a That was a horrible night. It was
oppressively hot. You put me in the cool zone where
(30:54):
it I'm meeting listeners. It dripped the thing, the cooling
fan dripped down and it made it look like I
pe my pants and I'm meeting listeners with this wet
spot because the fan thing broke. And uh yeah, good times,
good times. Hard to believe that team's not around. That's
where they ought to make the Houston. I think it
was our friend in Bakersfield, Rod in Bakersfield who pointed
(31:17):
this out there to me the other day. He said,
the Major League Baseball people should force the Astros to
move to Bakersfield for a couple of years and play
with the sun in center field, and they have to
play day games with the sun in center field, and
then the other team can play and they can have
their at bats at night when the sun goes down.
That'd be perfect. Yeah, all right, Jets are two and seven,
Washington's one and eight. It's on Fox. You better watch.
(31:41):
This had Dick Stockton written all over. You know who's
doing this game. This is gonna be come on, come on,
come on, I'm gonna say Mark Schlareth, And who does
Schlareth work with? No? He Schlarith works with Dick Stockton.
So um, no answer. This is someone that you you
(32:01):
like this person, Kenny Albert. Yeah, you go plots and fans,
how did you this game? Because it's a New York team,
doesn't it seem like Kenny Albert he does like the
Giants or the Jets. Every other week he's doing a
New York Day. I don't normally do the Jets on Fox,
but this for some reason, even though his games in Washington,
(32:22):
it's a Fox game, that's right, because he does like
the Capitols a lot. He does the Rangers. Yeah, okay,
I text my Buddy Sports with Coleman, who were mutual
friends with Kenny Albert, and like every night Kenny is
in a different city. Yeah, it's insane, Like and I'm asking, like,
how does he remember what hotel room is in? You know?
I would not remember. I always have to take a
(32:43):
photo with my phone. And and Kenny Albert. I don't
believe he's there yet, but Kenny Albert likely is. Remember
that movie with George Clooney, like ten years ago, Up
in the Air. Yeah, with ten frequent flyer miles. Kenny
Albert's got to be closing in on ten million frequent
(33:03):
flyer miles. It's insane. We need to have dinner with them.
I need that. I need to pick his brand. Well,
he's gonna be in Vegas next weekend for a fight.
You want to go to Vegas for the fight? I'm
doubt when you get are you gonna be allowed to go? Oh?
I don't know about that. Yeah, I'm not sure, but
that if a check see if I'm put on probation
or not have allowed out the terms of the probation.
(33:25):
So the Jets are two and seven. Washington's one at
eight on Fox the We could probably get really good
tickets because Kenny A hook is up. Oh not from
your buddy Tom Looney, No, not from me. Redskins opened
up a one and apt point favorite. They're favorite by
one mostly cloudy forty one. A kickoff at FedEx field.
I'm taking the Jets Jay eight Ts Jets Jets death. Now.
I don't love this pick because it's two bad teams.
(33:47):
Both these teams have been unsatisfactory and inadequate, and that's
an understatement. But you take the lesser of two evils
here and you go with it. Yet, Sam Darnold will
not see any ghosts this week against the Redskins defense,
even though they're getting some guys back. I saw that
Adam Gase received a vote of confidence for some reason
for the Jets, and good luck on that. Now part
(34:08):
be the rookie Dwayne Haskins. He is going to now
be the Redskins starter for the rest of the year.
He provided in all out comedy of errors in some
of these games he's played in. Now, I loved Haskins
at Ohio State, but he call what it is. He's
been a dirty diaper in the NFL. Washington now they
(34:29):
are coming off a bye week, so they had a
little extra rest. They lost to Buffalo twenty four to
nine back in Week nine. Washington has failed to get
to ten points in any of their last three games.
They've gone a month without scoring a touchdown. Very impressive.
The only concern is that the public is loading up
on the Jets. I'm never comfortable being on the side
(34:49):
of Joe Schmo. But it is two bad teams. The
Jets should win this game. I'm gonna take the Jets thirteen,
Redskins nine. In honor of Felix the Cat, We're going
with the Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. Oh, my old producer,
Felix the Cat. Very nice of you. I had a
(35:10):
producer named Felix. Did he get fired? No, he left.
He's about to have a kid, though. He's knocked up
the old lady there. Yes, it's coming out in January though. Yeah,
this Felix is a little bit different. Oh yeah, I
guess so. All right, Buffalo six and three at Miami
two and seven. It's on CBS, Spirodidas and Adam Archilletta.
(35:31):
We'll be putting lipstick on pigs calling this game. The
Bills opened up a seven and a half point favorite.
They are favored by six. It'll be partly sunny seventy
seven degrees at kickoff at hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
I'm gonna take the Bills here. Now. I don't normally
like betting favorites. I try to avoid betting favorites, but
the Dolphins blow for burrow or tank for twa campaigns
(35:54):
have taken a beating here with back to back wins,
and if they have any hopes here of a maintaining
that top three or four pick status, they gotta get
back to the losing aways. Brian Flores could be fired
they keep winning. He's going against the franchise business charter
here in Miami. I believe it is back to reality
(36:14):
this week. Ryan Fitzpatrick and friends have been playing above
their means lately. They will as surely be a bunch
of Buffalo Bills fans here from Western New York. I
think this will be like a Charger game, where there's
more fans of the other team. The only concern is
the great equalizer of turnovers, and Josh Allen is the
(36:35):
compass rose. You don't know where he's throwing the ball.
The receivers don't know where he's throwing the ball. But
Miami has not been very good at forcing mistakes. This
is one of those odd things. For example, last week
they had three takeaways the Dolphins in Indie that almost
doubled their entire season total of takeaways in one game
last week, and that was because Brian Hoyer played, and
(36:58):
they at thirteen takeaways, really tripling their season total to seven.
They went seven to twenty. There's a lot of numbers.
So I'm gonna ride with Buffalo and they should win
this game comfortably. Bills thirty four, Dolphins twenty. Penny is
going that way. Go with the Buffalo Bills in the mafia,
(37:19):
all right. Next up Houston six and three at Baltimore
seven and two. It's on CBS with Iron Eagle and
Dan Fouts, who was already referenced in this show. The
Ravens opened up a four point of actually a five
point favorite. They're favored by four now, cloudy and forty
three degrees at kickoff at M ANDT Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland,
(37:42):
with Sports with Coleman, our friend in attendance. I'm gonna
take the Texans in this game, and I'll tell you
my logic behind it. Now. First of all, Lamar Jackson
has the cleanest took us and the cleanest toes in
all of the NFL. Because the media has just been
lick lick lick. They've been given in him a bubble
bath and all because he feasted on the Bungles. Now,
(38:04):
he fattened up his stats like a turkey before Thanksgiving.
And we pointed this out on the radio show. But
this is an amazing factory. I know you don't listen
to the radio show, guest gun, but Lamar Jackson is
the greatest quarterback in NFL history against the worst of
the worst. He is mortal against average to above average teams.
Now my evidence against the Dolphins in Bengals, he is
(38:26):
averaged in two games almost fifteen yards per attempt, eight touchdowns,
non receptions. Against the seven other opponents the Ravens have
played as a passing quarterback, Lamar Jackson's averaging less than
seven yards per attempt, seven touchdowns, five interceptions. Now, I'm
not here to sing the praises of the Houston Texans
by they're certainly better playoff team right now, and they're
(38:49):
better than the Dolphins and the Bengals now. And the
other thing, Houston is coming off a bye. They had
a win over Jacksonville in London, so they've had a
little bit of extra time. This is a who would
match up for Deshaun Watson, who I've been critical of
over the years, Watson is one of the better quarterbacks
in the NFL. Against the Blitz. What are the Ravens
do on defense? Blitz blaze, blitze, blaze, blitze, blitze blatz.
(39:12):
They blitz more than any other team in the NFL.
And this should be another close game. The numbers only
four points here in this game. The Texans are one
of two teams that has not lost by more than
seven points over the last two seasons. So you think
maybe a monster teaser or something like that. The other team,
by the ways, the Chiefs. But here's another spot. We say,
(39:36):
is this where Lamar Jackson gets caught shamelessly staring at
his reflection in the mirror himself after that big victory
last week? And I say, a little of that does happen.
Plus they have a West coast trip. The Ravens play
the Rams next week in a primetime game. I'm gonna
(39:56):
take the Texans to win the game outright, Houston thirty
seven in Baltimore thirty six. Penny going that way as
well with the Houston Texans, all right? Next up Arizona
three six and one at Santa Clara eight. And oh
we start the late portion of the television window here
with this game late games, we don't have any no
more trivia from you, I have more. What the hell?
(40:18):
We only have three more games left. We relax? Okay,
all right, I know other people want to use the studio,
So anyway, it's on Fox. Chris Myers, my former colleague,
a respected member of the broadcast community, and Darryl moose Johnston,
former Cowboy, have the call. Now. The game opened up
the Niners and up fourteen point favorites down to eleven,
(40:39):
So the Niners are favorite by eleven, mostly sunny sixty
nine degrees. At kickoff at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara,
where the Niners play their home games, the pick is in.
I'm gonna take the Cardinals. And here's why. It is
not a mortal sin to lose to the Seahawks. But
if the Niners start losing this, if they lose this game,
(40:59):
that because a problem. Now I think that the Niners,
you figure, should win the game. They need to get
their mojo back against an inferior opponent. Jimmy Garoppolo has
been fine against the lightweights of the NFL. He had
good numbers when these teams played a few weeks ago,
and Arizona is twenty seventh in scoring defense, so it's
not like they have a ballhawking amazing defense. They don't,
(41:24):
but the Niners are still shorthanded. They have no George
Kittle this week. Who knows what, if anything, Emmanuel Sanders
will be able to provide. It sounds like he'll be playing,
but it could change between now and the kickoff, so
keep an eye on that. The other thing, Kyler Murray
Alligator Arms Murray has been great in garbage time. Twenty
(41:49):
five percent of this guy's passing touchdowns and twenty six
percent of Alligator Arms Murray's yards have come when the
Cardinals have trailed by multiple scores, and he's got a
ninety eight point two passer rating in those games, so
he's very comfortable when the Cardinals are way behind, and
then when the Cardinals are ahead, which doesn't happen all
(42:10):
that often. He's got a passer rating of below seventy nine,
so his numbers have been inflated by the Cardinals being
down and teams playing a soft defense against him. I
expect even more dumpster diving here. The old backdoor cover.
Anytime you get over seven points in a divisional game.
You don't ask questions. You take the points. I love
(42:31):
the double digit dogs, and I will take the forty
nine ers to win thirty three. The twenty six Cardinals
will cover penny go at the team from the Desert
Arizona Cardinals. All right, Next up, we'll get trivial in
honor of Gascon. You should get this because you're a
Bronco fanboy. Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen became the first quarterback
(42:55):
with a touchdown pass of seventy five plus yards in
his first career starts since blank. All Right, the answer
coming up here in a couple of minutes. Next game
up for US New England eight and one at Philadelphia
five and four. It's on CBS with Jim Nance and
Tony Roman. It's a big game for CBS. Patriots open
(43:17):
to three point favorite. They're favorite by three and a half.
It's gonna be cloudy, thirty nine degrees on Broad Street,
just off Broad Street there in South Philiot Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles, the Burns. I'm gonna take the Eagles in
this game. And here's why. Now you assume the Patriots
are gonna bounce back in a big way coming off
a bye week after being mollywopped by the Ravens. Bill
(43:39):
Belichick getting extra time often has been lethal. But the
Eagles also are coming off a bye week, so both
teams are coming in even in this and they should
get a big boost as well. Doug Peterson twelve and
seven against the spread when having extra time to prepare
for an opponent. Now, the reason the like Philly is
(44:00):
old dog and the Eagles have a pretty good pass rush.
The Patriot offensive line not very good. So Tom Brady
who will cover for the offensive line by throwing the
ball quickly, But he's gonna be under siege. Okay, he's
gonna be under stage now. Secondly, Philly should be able
to control the line of scrimmage on offense as well.
(44:20):
They have a pretty good offensive line. Carson Wentz is
obviously not a dual threat quarterback. Sorry if you think
he's like Lamar Jackson, he's not, and Lamar gave him
fits the last game the Patriots played. But the Eagles
can run the ball effectively with Jordan Howard and Sanders.
I believe they'll be able to run the ball a
(44:41):
little bit in this game. And I just have to
see the Patriots after that stank in Baltimore, come out
and just kick the snot out of somebody. They gotta
show me that before I get back on the Patriot bandwagon.
Because the Eagles are not a bad team, so there's
like an average NFL team. I'm gonna take the Eagles
to win the game out right. Eagles thirty, Patriots twenty seven.
(45:04):
Fly Eagles, Fly, Fly Eagles on the road to victory.
All right, let's get trivial. The answer. Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen,
the first QB with a touchdown pass of seventy five
plus yards in his first career starts since blank. I'm
(45:24):
gonna go with Dante Culpepper, good name, Vikings, Randy Moss,
big touchdown passes back in the day before he needed
a medicine man. No, the correct answer, r G three,
Robert Griffin the third when he had that breakout rookie season.
(45:46):
His first game he had an eighty eight yard touchdown
pass back in twenty twelve. Back in twenty twelve. All right,
next up Cincinnati, oh and nine at Oakland, don't do
it five and four. It's on CBS with Greg Gumbel
and Trent Green the Raiders open an eight point favorite.
They're favorite by ten and a half sixty seven degrees
(46:08):
in the Bay Area kickoff at Ring Central Coliseum, not
corporately named at all, I just called the Oakland Alameda
County Coliseum. The pick is in Gascon. Don't do it,
don't do it. Ban Gals, BEng Gals, Ben Gals, Ben
and Gals. I'm taking the Bengals, the Bungals, I am.
First of all, Listen the Raiders. You assume I was like,
(46:30):
they can't screw this up ride. Come on, this is
a show up, collect to win situation here. Just don't
commit penalties. Well, the Raiders lead the NFL and penalties
per game, so it's possible. Now you would think Derek
Carr will make enough plays here to win this game
against a second rate Bengals defense. This is a big
points all right now. I'm not gonna sit here and
(46:53):
tell you that Ryan Finley is any good. You've been
better off with Brian Finley playing quarterback if you're Cincinnati.
He look completely overmatched against the Ravens a very small
sample size. Guys can obviously get better from the first
start to the second start, because once the Raider defense
looks at that tape, they're going to start laughing and say,
we don't have to do anything. This guy sucks. And
(47:14):
now Philly's trying to audition for the Bengals starting job
in twenty twenty, but really he's just ensuring them that
they get a shot at Joe Burrow in the April draft.
Now that said, I'm gonna take the points here for
two reasons. The Raiders have yet to beat anyone by
more than eight points, and they played some bad teams. Plus,
over the long run, betting on double digit dogs has
(47:39):
proven to be a pretty good gambling strategy and it's
been very effective for me. Plus the Bengals, even though
they're terrible now, they were decent in recent years. Over
the last decade. They are four and one in California.
The Cincinnati Bengals have a fourign run record against the
teams in California they've done very well. Raiders will win,
but they won't cover. Raiders twenty eight Bengals twenty Penny's
(48:04):
going with the Raiders all rights. That just gotta pain
you as a Bronco fan. I'm not a fan, I'm
just an observer. You're an observer, Yeah, an independent observer,
not putting any money on the Bengals. You do something
you haven't died over several weeks, have taken the Dolphins?
Well yeah, but then the Dolphins all of a sudden
started covering. I've bet on the Dolphins the last three weeks.
(48:27):
I would have won won all those games, all right?
Next up Sunday Night football, Chicago, four and five at
the l A R. I am, it's five and four,
it's on NBC. You think al Michaels can join us
on Friday? He's calling this game, so he's not traveling
anywhere that high school game we're doing. That'd be great. Yeah,
al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth on the Peacock Network. The
(48:49):
Rams opened a seven and a half point favorite. There,
now you brought you brought this up? Should we do
an open like they do it? Like? Should I wear
a sweater like al Michaels? Then slide you in? Yeah?
You know what we should do? I would I'd like
to do it? Can I slide in? I wouldn't that?
That's a great idea. Guess guy, we we gotta do that.
You got let's do it? Can we do it? Yeah?
We can't. I want to slide in and I'll have
(49:10):
this goofy smile on my face too, like Chris Collinsworth,
this goofy, creepy smile. Oh, I gotta do it, We
gotta do it. Come on, think of the rate people
will be tuning in just for the open guests gun
to see me slide in like Collinsworth? How are you?
Come on? How are you on stand ups? Are you
good on opens? I haven't done one in like ten years?
(49:31):
But uh yeah, I mean it's it's all right. I mean,
you know, it's pretty simple, right, just throw a bunch
of cliches out there and uh yeah. But I remember
when I was in college and we used to do
the saddleback football and basketball inside this guy Brad Hoisteff
who I worked with, and Brad it was always funny
because he was the play by play gun. I was
the color commentator, and he would say something. I say, well,
(49:53):
that's right, Brad, you know, because he'd lead me into
something with some stat you know that's right. So that's
the key when your color commentator, whatever you say, guest gun,
like you'll lead me into an answer about the running
back for Jay Sarah right, this high school kid. I'll say,
that's right, David. He's a great player, you know, like
that's how you do it. We'll just still be like,
what's his name? Was it? Money in Major League? Okay?
He just doesn't talk at all of us like dynamite
(50:17):
color money. Yeah, well we'll see get that flop shaite
going anyway? Bears and Rams, Bears and Rams here, you know,
clear seventy two Sunday night, late evening at the Coliseum
in Los Angeles at kickoffs. Now, I love the Rams.
I'm all about the Rams. But there's no way in
(50:37):
hell I'm betting on the Rams this week. Uh No,
I hope they win. I hope I lose this bet,
but I'm taking the Chicago Bears. And I'll tell you why.
First of all, it is impossible for me, having watched
the Rams, to take the Rams and lay this number.
Jared Goff has eight interceptions seven fumbles over his last
seven games. Chicago's got a ball hawking, opportunistic defense led
(50:58):
by Khalil Mack. The Rams have a battered and broken
offensive line. This is a recipe for a whole lot
of mistakes, right, a whole lot of mistakes. Now, Secondly,
the Rams defense has been fine. It's the offense that
is broken in my opinion. No, statistically, they haven't been
(51:19):
that bad. The Rams have the NFL's number one defense
over the last three weeks. Did you know that? Yeah,
number one, last three weeks. They're allowing just twelve points
per game, and they're gonna have to play like that
to have a shot here. Mitch Trubisky is no good
I know that. And the LA offense has been more
of the middle of the Bell curve in recent weeks.
And history is not on the side of the Rams.
(51:44):
The Rams have lost six of seven to Chicago. And
check this out. I looked it up because I know,
being a Ram fan over the years, that they always
seem to lose against the Bears. And it turns out
that the Rams have a three ninety nine winning percentage
historically against Chicago. That is their worst record against any
NFC opponent in franchise history. They've not been worse against
(52:06):
anybody other than the Bears. So I hope I'm wrong,
but I'm gonna take Chicago twenty four the Rams twenty.
No way the Pennings going with the Rams either going
to Chicago Bears Dog Bears. All right, next up, Monday
Night football. I want to tell you I'm watching that game.
I'm pulling for the Rams, even though I picked the Bears.
All right, Monday Night Football Cans City six and four
(52:28):
at Mexico the Mexico Chargers, the La Chargers of as
Teca Stadium. Yes, the games in Mexico City. It's on ESPN.
So Booger Matchine going through customs with the name Booger,
Joe Testator and Booger McFarland have the call. I was
taking some notes from Joe Testator, who's a walking, talking
(52:50):
cliche gastcount so I might use some of his material.
Don't do that. He's a bit of a hardough anyway.
The Chiefs opened a three point favorite. They are favored
by four. It'll be mostly cloudy in Mexico City, sixty
five degrees at kickoff. We don't have a lot of time,
so I'm gonna take the Chiefs in this game. Taking
Kansas City A couple of reasons why a Kansas City.
(53:14):
Kansas City blew a game against the Titans last week.
The Chargers are of a similar pedigree, so you would
expect Patrick Mahomes to slice up the injury ravaged Chargers
secondary in this game. But the key is obviously in
a game like you limit the turnovers there, that's the
key in all these games where the Chargers are a
(53:34):
mash unit, they're hobbled, twisted, mutilated, all of that. They
need a witch doctor themselves at this particular point and
be While Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson have gotten a
lot of love from the media, do you know Philip
Rivers is the quarterback that has actually add lived for
an NFL leading ten created receptions. How about that pretty
(53:57):
good number? That is pretty good by Philip Rivers, the
advanced statistics from the NFL. Listen, the Chiefs, if you
lose to the Titans, you can lose to the Charges,
as we said, but I think this is a field
good situation. If the Chargers win this game, they're right
back in the divisional race. The Raiders are right back
in the thick of it right there as well, because
(54:17):
you figure they're gonna beat the Bengals. So the Chiefs
there's this is actually a big pressure spot because if
you lose, the ramifications are huge. Chiefs thirty three Chargers
twenty three penny not can upon a mash unit, but
we'll go with the La California Chargers of San Diego.
(54:40):
There you go, and that is it. That is a
rap for this edition of Benny Versus the Penny. Good luck.
Hope you win a lot of money. If you win
a lot of money, remember us. If you lose a
lot of money. This is just for entertainment purposes only.
We're not held responsible for your bad picks at all.
We'll be back in the Magic Radio Box on Sunday
night on the West Coast at eleven o'clock and that
(55:01):
would be of course two am in the East, and
we'll talk about all these NFL games in the post mortem.
Have a great weekend, be safe. I'll try to avoid
the hospital, so we'll do it again next week. Thanks.

You're welcome, are you? It's time now Betty versus the Penny.
(00:42):
That is, we are in Week eleven of the NFL season.
Betty versus the Penny. Every single NFL game against the spread,
all the numbers all add for your dancing and dining pleasure.
We will not talk about the Packers, Giants, the Seahawks,
and the tight because they ain't playing. We already gave
(01:02):
you the pick on the radio of the Cleveland Pittsburgh game,
which was played back on Thursday night. So the way
this works it is meet Ben along with David Gascon,
who is dying dying to make an announcement before we
actually get to Benny Versus the Penny guest, go on
right now? You want to do this before because most
people don't listen to the whole podcast. Right, most people
(01:23):
don't listen to the whole podcast. But I thought this
was a part of Benny Versus the Penny. Oh, are
we okay? All right? Yeah, we'll do that, all right.
So here's the thing. All right, so before we get
to the actual NFL games, you want to hear Gascon
is recommending that we discussed this Friday night. You didn't
hear the other podcast Friday night. I have been dragged back.
I've been on television in a fair amount of time,
(01:45):
and I will be doing some television. I will be
doing some television on Friday Night. And it'll be a
high school game for Fox, right, so you better watch.
That's right? Yeah, And I'm the color commentary. I'm adding
the flavor. You're I'm flavor flavor. We're gonna bring out
a gold chain. Now. I sat next to the one
(02:08):
time in a Laker again. That guy's a trip. He's
a trip, man. I don't know, it's not even cool.
He's not even a cool guy anymore, right, come on,
I don't know. Oh he's still name dropping anyways, I
learned it from you. All Right. So there's a there's
a high school game Friday night. It's Jay Sarah versus
a Santenno's a southern California high school game. And you
(02:29):
can actually watch this on what is the Fox Sports
go app? Guest that up? Yeah? So I mean, and
so the way I'm thinking about this, if a lot
of Mallar militia people watch, like they might, they might
bring me back. Right, this could become a regular thing.
What do you want to do ask Ben during the game?
Oh yeah, if it's a boring game, we'll do ask Ben.
That'd be great. We'll take questions from like I'll put
(02:51):
Doc mic on, We'll get Lance to the bus driver,
We'll get Jay Scoop from Seattle, Bill and Iowa. Yeah,
you want me to plug your fucking show Justin and Cincinnati. Yeah, yeah,
I want you to introduce me a man that has
been blocked by Deshaun Watson and Dom COONSU William Shatner.
And yeah, I still got to figure the open and
(03:13):
how I'm going to introduce you, so I understand, well,
listen to handicap the game now, all right, So there's
no point spread as far as I know in high
school football. I don't think they put pointspreds out of
high school fotball. But I would imagine Centennial looking at
the stats and the records, I would think Centennial high
powered offense, several blue chip recruits there on that team.
(03:35):
The Jay Sarah team a younger team, I would think
Centennial's favored by like seven to ten points. However, I
think there's value with Jay Sarah here. Guess so to
handicap the game, to pick his in, I am gonna
take Jay Sarah to cover the pointspred. Centennial wins the game,
but Jay Sarah will be able to cover the point spread.
(03:56):
I love this running but I was watching some videos.
I've never even heard of this guy, Chris Street, this
running back for Jay Sarah. Who's uh he's he looks
like Darren Sprowles to me, a little small guy with
these huge thighs that runs through you can't even see him,
and then and then he just bulls you over, and uh,
I guess he's going to cal Right, what's it? Where
beast mode went, so I think the key obviously, when
(04:18):
you're on the road in a hostile environment. I learned
this from the NFL gas Gun. You have to yeah,
play Conservant, run the ball, take time off the clock, right,
and they have a great running back. Now, obviously Centennial
is gonna bottle up and try to stop Chris Stewart
and and and force Jay Sarah to to win the
game through the air. But I love it. This guy's
been been great and uh, I think you can. You
(04:39):
can hang around, keep the game close, playoff game guys
will be nervous. So I'm gonna take Jay Sarah plus
the points to cover the spread against Centennial. But Centennial
will win the game at Husky Stadium, which I thought
was in Seattle, but apparently it's in Corona, California. I
had no idea. How about that for handicapping job, guest gun.
(05:01):
You didn't give the temperature. You didn't give the broadcasters.
It'll be seventy five degrees that kick off. And to
make sure they spell my name right, all right, they
gotta spell my name correct. Please. You forgot the score too,
I forgot the score. Ye oh, the final score, all right?
The final score will be Centennial thirty eight, Jay Sarah
(05:22):
thirty one. That bomb and the Penny picks Penny is
going centennial. Oh, we have disagreement. We disagree. I just
pick underdogs, guest good, That's what I do. I pick underdogs.
I'm an underdog player, That's what That's how I roll. Plus,
I gotta I gotta pick my OC guys. You know
(05:43):
Jay Sarah, which was a high school I'm so old
it didn't even exist. Yeah, but this this conference they're in,
it just blew me away. When I was doing some
research here and I saw modern day in Saint John
Bosco and all the Santa Margarite. When I was in
high school, we played Santa Margarita and they were amazing.
Brian Finneran who was a receiver for the Atlanta Falcons.
(06:03):
He had a twin brother he played at Santa Margarita.
We played them my senior year in high school. I
believe we lost that game forty nine to three. It
just kicked our ass and h So that was that
was kind of cool. I bet you didn't think that
in twenty nineteen you'd be handicapping a prep game. No,
I have not done a high school game since I
(06:24):
was at like Saddleback College. This is crazy, but I'm
actually kind of excited about it because, as my wife says,
you have to go outside your comfort zone from time
at a time. So I'll just have fun. It'll be fun.
We'll have a good time with it. And remember, we
need the Mallard militia because I think if the Mallard
Militia watches this, because they can count how many people
are watching the scream, that that will encourage them to
(06:46):
uh maybe pay us more and use me. Again. I
don't want to do it every week, but once in
a while. I think it would be fun. Once they
play once a week, what the fuck you can? Very
busy man, I'm a very busy man, guest, gun, very
very busy. All right, are we done with that? We
move on? Can we actually get to the NFL games
that people wanted to hear? Yes, you could have yeah,
of course. Be sure to catch live editions of The

before we look ahead, we must look back. I did
not lose a game last week, and we tend guest god,
not a single incorrect thing. It's the first time in
(08:54):
my life I've gotten every game correct. Thank you very much.
Where's my congratulatory tweet? I a perfect week last week?
That's right, perfection. I'd like to give an applause to
(09:14):
the nurses, the doctors, dancetsiologists, everyone that was able to
get you in the upright position and eventually out of
the hospital. But well, it's good I didn't get like
staff infection or gang green or something like that. You
hear these stories about people that go to the hospital.
You're like, oh, man especial out of Cleveland, Right, wasn't
like a span of three or four players and a
(09:35):
two year span? Yeah, yeah, it was Tampa Bay. It
was Tampa Bay that had that. Yeah, a big problem.
All right, So it's week eleven. We did the Thursday
game on the radio, So we'll start out with Dallas
at Detroit. Now, the way this works on the handicapping side.
We break down every game, We give you some information
on every game, and and then if you if you
(09:55):
agree the way it should work. If you agree, you
do your own work, and if we line up. That's
a game she's probably been on. So Dallas five and four,
Detroit three, five and one. It's on Fox with Kevin
Burkhardt and Charles Davis. I'm sorry, this is not a
Dick Stockton game. Guess God, but you've got the Cowboys
who opened up a two and a half point favorite.
They have skyrocketed all the way up to six and
(10:16):
a half as a road favorite. It's sunny thirty three
degrees outside of ford Field, Detroit at kickoff on Sunday afternoon,
the early TV window. The pick is in and I
am taking the Detroit Lions. I am taking the Lions
here now, Matt Patricia and Detroit are going to attempt
(10:39):
to do what everyone does against the Cowboys and stop
Zeke Elliott and forced Dak Prescott to beat them. Even
if they are successful, it won't matter. Why is that?
Because it's looking like Matthew Stafford he's gonna miss this start,
which means Jeff Driskell will get another opportunity to start
for Detroit. In his first start with the Lions, his
(11:01):
claim to fame as he ran for thirty seven yards.
And the reason that's interesting is because he led the
Lions and rushing. He's the fifth different player the last
five games to lead the Lions and rushing. That's not good,
especially only had thirty seven yards. Now now, Secondly, the
Lions Achilles Heel happens to be in their secondary and
(11:22):
so while they would like to force Dak Prescott to
beat them, I think we all know that that likely
is something that Dak will be able to do. Everyone
is pollar rising the Detroit Lions defense. Detroit is twenty
eight in past defense. They're allowing two hundred and seventy
two yards per game. Now, the reason I'm taking the Lions.
(11:42):
You know, Jason Garrett's team lost to the Jets, so
anything is possible. If you lose to the Jets and
you're the Cowboys, you can certainly lose to the Lions,
who I believe are about the same maybe a little
better than the Jets. Right, and the beleaguered cowboy coach
you figure out even he can't screw it up. But
then you're like, well, I think this game will be
(12:04):
a closer game. I love home dogs. I like the
home doggie and the Cowboys they have a much more
important game for them against the Patriots. So this is
a peekaboo game where Dallas. You figure they'll be focused
because they lost to the Vikings last week and they've
not been playing very well lately. But it's a much
bigger game with the Cowboys next week with a lot
(12:27):
of national flavor to it. There's no national flavor to
this Dallas Detroit game. So the Cowboys will win, but
they won't cover the spread. Cowboys twenty eight. Jeff Drisco
on the Lions twenty four. Penny does not like your decision.
Go with the Dallas Cowboys, all right? Next up New
Orleans at Tampa Bay. The Saints seven to two, the
(12:47):
Bucks are three and six. It's on Fox, and are
we playing the Dick Stockton game? Yeah, we can. This
is not a Dick Stockton game, that is correct. It
is a Tom Brennaman Chris Spielman game. They will have
a call now. The line on this game. The Saints
opened up a five point favorite. They're a five and
a half point favorite. The New Orleans Saints favorite by
five and a half. Here. The weather mostly sunny, sixty
(13:10):
five degrees at kickoff at Raymond James Stadium for Bruce Arians,
my brother from a different mother. We wear the same hat.
And I'm gonna take the Buccaneers here, and I admit
this is not one of my greater picks, but I'm
just feeling the Buccaneers. And I'll tell you why. Drew
Brees not only did he look old against the foulcons
(13:31):
last week, but he also apparently has some kind of
rib problem, and I believe he's so stubborn he's just
going to continue playing and try to play through it
because he doesn't want to go to the bench and
then have Teddy Bridgewater light up the scoreboard again. So
something Bizarro is happening here. I would agree with most
casual people that the on paper, the Saints should win
(13:51):
this game by forty points, but they still got to
play the game. It's a road matchup generally that's problematic
over this great run of Saints football. They're not nearly
as lethal outside to buy you as they are in Louisiana.
Most teams are not as good on the road as
at home. But the Saints also as road favorites by
(14:12):
four or more points, have a three eighty five winning
percentage under Sean Payton in the recent years, and that's
that's also something to the factor, and that's not great.
Road favorites generally not a great formula to make a
lot of money. And secondly, Tampa, now they're not a
good team. They should be able to stop the running game.
(14:32):
Alvin Kamara that they've been effective against the run because
no one's even trying to run. Everyone can throw against.
The Bucks have the NFL's worst pass defense. They're allowing
two hundred ninety eight point nine yards per game. So
for me, I'm gonna need Jamis Winsted to make a
bunch of big plays. He's also thrown a bunch of
big pass numbers up. In fact, Winston's got the longest
(14:54):
active streak of three hundred plus passing games four straight
divisional games or generally close by nature. I am going
to cover my eyes here, and I'm gonna take the
Buccaneers to hang around, hang around, take that home dog
divisional game. It's not seven points, but it's five and
(15:16):
a half. Saints twenty six, Bucks twenty three Penny going
that way, going with the Buccaneers. So do we have
time to get trivial? Should we knock trivial stuff out
of there? Yeah? You know, I have a question for you,
but I'll ask you when we come to that game
in DC. But yeah, le's get trivial day, all right.
Matt Ryan needs two hundred and fifty four yards to
(15:36):
surpass Blank for the tenth most passing yards in NFL history.
Mattie Ice, he needs two hundred and fifty four yards
this weekend to pass Blank for the most or the
tenth most passing yards in NFL history. Give you the
answer in a couple of minutes. Here speaking of Atlanta,
the Falcons two and seven Carolina five and four. Is
(15:57):
this the Dick Stockton game? It is not. You are wrong,
You lose the Dick Stockton. This is the Dick Stockton game.
Our friend Dick and Mark Schlayrith have the call on Fox.
I bet you Dick Stockton wishes he was doing the
prep zone game on Friday, but he's not. He's not
allowed to do it. I think his paychecks probably a
little bit heavier. I do not think. I do not
(16:17):
think that at all anyway, this and the Panthers opened
a seven point favorite. Carolina is favored by five and
a half. The weather here mostly sunny, fifty two degrees
at kickoff at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It's a divisional matchup. The Falcons are my pick. I'm
gonna take Atlanta here, and I'll give you my logic
(16:39):
behind it now. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey a is a great player.
He's been mister consistent. He's gone seven straight games with
a rushing touchdown. He'll get his numbers here against Atlanta.
But I am banking on the Falcons trying to build
on what they did last week and not just being
satisfied that was their super Bowl. They won a game
against the Saints. They're gonna come back and commit commit
(17:00):
to the things they did last week. They changed the
defensive play calling and I don't know who the guy is.
I don't have his name hereybody, but they took it
away from the head coach and it obviously worked. The
Saints had nine points. That's it. Nine points. Now, this
is a game that you would figure Atlanta, if they
follow those same principles, should be able to attack Kyle Allen,
(17:21):
who cooled off a bit after playing pretty well the
first couple of weeks. He's been okay, but he hasn't
gotten better. Hasn't gotten better now be the big difference
is defensive tenacity. If you look at the numbers, but
you came. The Panthers lead the NFL in sacks. They've
got the most by any team through nine games since
the Chiefs back in twenty thirteen. The Falcons they are
(17:44):
thirtieth in sacks, which means that Kyle Allen should have
plenty of time to do his team his thing. But
Atlanta had six sacks against the Saints last week. So
that's why I'm saying you got to throw the numbers out,
because if that Atlanta team shows up, if you get
six sacks against the Saints, you should be able to
get four or five sacks against Carolina using simpleton knowledge.
(18:07):
So despite all that, this is also a peak a
boo situation for Carolina. They have a key NFC South
matchup with the New Orleans Saints next week, and they're
they're still thinking Carolina they can catch New Orleans in
the division. New Orleans is seven and two, Carolina is
five and four. Carolina wins this game, they get to
six wins. Let's say New Orleans stumbles in Tampa and
(18:30):
all of a sudden, next week's matchup becomes unbelievably important
and can shake up the NFC South. So when you
got the peak a boo situation and all that, and
Atlanta team feeling pretty good, hopefully they don't just pack
it and start sucking their thumb in the fetal position.
I am going to take the Carolina Panthers to win,
(18:52):
but I'm gonna take the Falcons to cover. So thirty
one thirty guests go hide the pregnant pause there. It's
all good because you don't look pregnant anymore. Petty's going
with the Panthers. I feel pregnant, though I do well,
all right. Be sure to catch live editions of The

blank for the tenth most passing yards at NFL history.
Fill in the blank, guest guard, show me your lightning bull?
(21:25):
Does it? Dan Fouts? Dan Fouts a great name. Nineteen
seventies eighties Chargers Football, San Diego Chargers. I love the
San Diego Chargers, No correct answer. Warren move. Hall of
Famer Warren moves the Oilers. The Oilers and a bunch
of other takings bounced around Chiefs the NFL. I think
(21:48):
he played with the Seahawks also at that's right? And
is he still a Seahawks broadcaster? Who knows Jacksonville four
and five at Indianapolis five and four? It's on CBS.
Is Andrew Catalan and James Loft didn't have the call? Now?
The Colts opened a three and a half point favorite.
They are favored now by two and a half to me,
(22:09):
mostly cloudy forty one degrees at kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium,
and the pigger is in. I'm gonna take Jacksonville in
this game. Now. A couple of things. Number one, Nick Foles,
he's back. I don't know if that's a good thing
or not. I like Gardner Minshew, but minshew mania ran
out of gas. You know that whole thing. Is it
(22:32):
a fad or is it a trend? Well, it appears
that minshew mania was a fad, not a trend. Unfortunately,
Hopefully he'll be back at some point. I like the guy,
but he did not play as well. The more he played,
the more teams figured him out. I have no idea
what to expect from Nick Foles. He's a second rate
quarterback in my book, who had an out of body
experience in Philadelphia. If the Colts had a losing record,
(22:56):
I would certainly like Jacksonville more. In this game. The
Jags are feign against teams with a five hundred winning
percentage or lower, but oh and five against teams that
are currently above five hundred, where Indianapolis is five and four,
And you look at the numbers recently, it's not been good.
The Jags are just two and seven against divisional opponents
since the start of last year, and the only teams
(23:19):
worse have been the Bengals and the Jets. It's not
good now. The second thing here for Indy it appears
that Jacobe Brissette, who's had a knee problem, didn't play
last week. He's expected to start, at least as the
time we're recording the podcast, he's going to start. And
that's a relief because Brian Hoyer completely screwed up against
the Dolphins. Hoyer has lost all all of his last
(23:41):
ten starts with four different teams and lose the Dolphins.
I mean, what are you doing and you're at home
and you got that roster. I know Vinetaris messed up
and all that. The Colts roster has been crippled. It's
not Brissett's coming back, but there's a bunch of other
guys that are either playing injured or not playing at
all on both sides of the ball. So I'm not
(24:01):
that confident in Nick Foles two point zero. But the
fact that the Colts roster is dinged up and Jacobe
Brissett likely will not be quite himself with the knee
and all that, I am all about that action. Boss.
Jacksonville will win this game out right. People say, what's
wrong with the Colts? How do they lose back to
(24:23):
back to back? Here, I'll take Jacksonville twenty Colt sixteen.
Petty likes the way you think going to Jacksonville Jaguars.

you said, yeah, you love that? Man? You are all
(26:29):
about it. It's a good parody account. I know. Yeah.
I don't even have to read it because anything on
there you send it's it's fascinating. All right, Denver three
and six at Minnesota seven and three, it's on CBS.
My tribute to Pat Summer All. Kevin Harlan and Rich
Gannon have the call. The Vikings opened up a ten
(26:50):
and a half point favorite. They are currently favored by
ten and a half. It's gonna be cloudy in thirty
six in the Twin Cities outside of US Banks Stadium.
Would be fine inside the dome. I'm gonna take the Broncos,
your Broncos in this game. Now. First of all, Denver
was able to squeeze past Cleveland, and it wasn't even
really a squeeze past because they were leading by I
(27:12):
think it was twelve points going to the fourth quarter
in that game. That was Brandon Allen's maiden voyage in Denver,
and they then had to buy a week and now
they get another chance to Alan does to show that
he's not a bum. Good luck, because Drew Locke is
lurking in the shadows there. He's going to be the
guy locked. It eventually ends up taking over, but Alan,
(27:33):
with a very conservative remedial game plan, was surprisingly solid.
The only attempted twenty passes, he completed twelve of them.
He had a couple of touchdowns, no interceptions. The issue
here it's obviously gonna be much harder against the Vikings
defense than it is against the Browns defense, and also
Vic Fangio's team, the Fatal Fly. I would really like
(27:54):
the Broncos more if they were able to create mistakes.
The Broncos have not forced a single term and over
in six games this season, so there's only three games
they forced to turnover. That is tied for the most
zero takeaway games in any season in franchise history. This
is historically bad Bronco defense as far as forcing turnovers. Now,
(28:17):
the second thing here, Minnesota. My main reason for taking
the Broncos is more against miss so I love Minnesota.
They should win the game, but Minnesota has been celebrated
not as much as the Ravens, but close all week
for beating the Cowboys in the Sunday and night game.
That's great, but I suspect they are going to have
trouble focusing. They're gonna be caught looking in the mirror
(28:40):
at how beautiful they look, and they don't because everyone's
been kissing their ass here and as a result, I
expect them to not fully be prepared in this game
is a classical letdown spot against a team with a
losing record. The Broncos defense, while they haven't forced turnovers,
they've been pretty good against the past and all Denver
(29:00):
has to do is find a little success with Philip
Lindsay running the ball and they will cover the number.
It's a double digit line. Here's a fun fact that
Broncos are nine and two when Philip Lindsley rushes for
at least seventy yards. When he doesn't, when he's held
under seventy, they're own thirteen. That's my fun fact. That's
a good fact. Thank you. Vikings twenty seven Broncos twenty
(29:27):
some odor reason. The penny is going with the Broncos too. Yeah,
I think I know the reason for that, but we
will not say. Next up the Jets jet Ets suck, Suck, Suck,
Suck suck at two and seven and Washington. Now, see,
here's the question I have for you. Is one today
eight Since you were on vacation last week at the hospital. Yeah,
I had to pay homage to you, so I like
(29:48):
to not to do the podcasts. Yeah, I told you
to do the podcast. I didn't want to. Well, I
actually I did want to. What you wanted me to
do the podcast with you from the hospital gurney, I did. Yes,
you wanted me to wear my hospital gown like the
moo yah. But I also have a of a female
friend based in New York. Congratulations, you have a female
(30:10):
and uh I was gonna have her come on and
be alongside me for the journey. But she is a
huge Jets fan and a huge utah Utes fan. So um,
so I need to get permission from you that next
time you're in the hospital, we can do this without you.
Oh yeah, I don't Well, I might be in the
hospital next week, who knows. No, come on, last time,
(30:30):
I brought you on the air with me. I lost
a job. So I lost a job. Yeah, remember twenty sixteen,
that right, we were in baklah We mean, that's right,
we're in Bakersfield. Brought you in the air, and then
I lost a job, like the whole team franchise closed down. Yeah,
that was a That was a horrible night. It was
oppressively hot. You put me in the cool zone where
(30:54):
it I'm meeting listeners. It dripped the thing, the cooling
fan dripped down and it made it look like I
pe my pants and I'm meeting listeners with this wet
spot because the fan thing broke. And uh yeah, good times,
good times. Hard to believe that team's not around. That's
where they ought to make the Houston. I think it
was our friend in Bakersfield, Rod in Bakersfield who pointed
(31:17):
this out there to me the other day. He said,
the Major League Baseball people should force the Astros to
move to Bakersfield for a couple of years and play
with the sun in center field, and they have to
play day games with the sun in center field, and
then the other team can play and they can have
their at bats at night when the sun goes down.
That'd be perfect. Yeah, all right, Jets are two and seven,
Washington's one and eight. It's on Fox. You better watch.
(31:41):
This had Dick Stockton written all over. You know who's
doing this game. This is gonna be come on, come on,
come on, I'm gonna say Mark Schlareth, And who does
Schlareth work with? No? He Schlarith works with Dick Stockton.
So um, no answer. This is someone that you you
(32:01):
like this person, Kenny Albert. Yeah, you go plots and fans,
how did you this game? Because it's a New York team,
doesn't it seem like Kenny Albert he does like the
Giants or the Jets. Every other week he's doing a
New York Day. I don't normally do the Jets on Fox,
but this for some reason, even though his games in Washington,
(32:22):
it's a Fox game, that's right, because he does like
the Capitols a lot. He does the Rangers. Yeah, okay,
I text my Buddy Sports with Coleman, who were mutual
friends with Kenny Albert, and like every night Kenny is
in a different city. Yeah, it's insane, Like and I'm asking, like,
how does he remember what hotel room is in? You know?
I would not remember. I always have to take a
(32:43):
photo with my phone. And and Kenny Albert. I don't
believe he's there yet, but Kenny Albert likely is. Remember
that movie with George Clooney, like ten years ago, Up
in the Air. Yeah, with ten frequent flyer miles. Kenny
Albert's got to be closing in on ten million frequent
(33:03):
flyer miles. It's insane. We need to have dinner with them.
I need that. I need to pick his brand. Well,
he's gonna be in Vegas next weekend for a fight.
You want to go to Vegas for the fight? I'm
doubt when you get are you gonna be allowed to go? Oh?
I don't know about that. Yeah, I'm not sure, but
that if a check see if I'm put on probation
or not have allowed out the terms of the probation.
(33:25):
So the Jets are two and seven. Washington's one at
eight on Fox the We could probably get really good
tickets because Kenny A hook is up. Oh not from
your buddy Tom Looney, No, not from me. Redskins opened
up a one and apt point favorite. They're favorite by
one mostly cloudy forty one. A kickoff at FedEx field.
I'm taking the Jets Jay eight Ts Jets Jets death. Now.
I don't love this pick because it's two bad teams.
(33:47):
Both these teams have been unsatisfactory and inadequate, and that's
an understatement. But you take the lesser of two evils
here and you go with it. Yet, Sam Darnold will
not see any ghosts this week against the Redskins defense,
even though they're getting some guys back. I saw that
Adam Gase received a vote of confidence for some reason
for the Jets, and good luck on that. Now part
(34:08):
be the rookie Dwayne Haskins. He is going to now
be the Redskins starter for the rest of the year.
He provided in all out comedy of errors in some
of these games he's played in. Now, I loved Haskins
at Ohio State, but he call what it is. He's
been a dirty diaper in the NFL. Washington now they
(34:29):
are coming off a bye week, so they had a
little extra rest. They lost to Buffalo twenty four to
nine back in Week nine. Washington has failed to get
to ten points in any of their last three games.
They've gone a month without scoring a touchdown. Very impressive.
The only concern is that the public is loading up
on the Jets. I'm never comfortable being on the side
(34:49):
of Joe Schmo. But it is two bad teams. The
Jets should win this game. I'm gonna take the Jets thirteen,
Redskins nine. In honor of Felix the Cat, We're going
with the Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. Oh, my old producer,
Felix the Cat. Very nice of you. I had a
(35:10):
producer named Felix. Did he get fired? No, he left.
He's about to have a kid, though. He's knocked up
the old lady there. Yes, it's coming out in January though. Yeah,
this Felix is a little bit different. Oh yeah, I
guess so. All right, Buffalo six and three at Miami
two and seven. It's on CBS, Spirodidas and Adam Archilletta.
(35:31):
We'll be putting lipstick on pigs calling this game. The
Bills opened up a seven and a half point favorite.
They are favored by six. It'll be partly sunny seventy
seven degrees at kickoff at hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
I'm gonna take the Bills here. Now. I don't normally
like betting favorites. I try to avoid betting favorites, but
the Dolphins blow for burrow or tank for twa campaigns
(35:54):
have taken a beating here with back to back wins,
and if they have any hopes here of a maintaining
that top three or four pick status, they gotta get
back to the losing aways. Brian Flores could be fired
they keep winning. He's going against the franchise business charter
here in Miami. I believe it is back to reality
(36:14):
this week. Ryan Fitzpatrick and friends have been playing above
their means lately. They will as surely be a bunch
of Buffalo Bills fans here from Western New York. I
think this will be like a Charger game, where there's
more fans of the other team. The only concern is
the great equalizer of turnovers, and Josh Allen is the
(36:35):
compass rose. You don't know where he's throwing the ball.
The receivers don't know where he's throwing the ball. But
Miami has not been very good at forcing mistakes. This
is one of those odd things. For example, last week
they had three takeaways the Dolphins in Indie that almost
doubled their entire season total of takeaways in one game
last week, and that was because Brian Hoyer played, and
(36:58):
they at thirteen takeaways, really tripling their season total to seven.
They went seven to twenty. There's a lot of numbers.
So I'm gonna ride with Buffalo and they should win
this game comfortably. Bills thirty four, Dolphins twenty. Penny is
going that way. Go with the Buffalo Bills in the mafia,
(37:19):
all right. Next up Houston six and three at Baltimore
seven and two. It's on CBS with Iron Eagle and
Dan Fouts, who was already referenced in this show. The
Ravens opened up a four point of actually a five
point favorite. They're favored by four now, cloudy and forty
three degrees at kickoff at M ANDT Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland,
(37:42):
with Sports with Coleman, our friend in attendance. I'm gonna
take the Texans in this game, and I'll tell you
my logic behind it. Now. First of all, Lamar Jackson
has the cleanest took us and the cleanest toes in
all of the NFL. Because the media has just been
lick lick lick. They've been given in him a bubble
bath and all because he feasted on the Bungles. Now,
(38:04):
he fattened up his stats like a turkey before Thanksgiving.
And we pointed this out on the radio show. But
this is an amazing factory. I know you don't listen
to the radio show, guest gun, but Lamar Jackson is
the greatest quarterback in NFL history against the worst of
the worst. He is mortal against average to above average teams.
Now my evidence against the Dolphins in Bengals, he is
(38:26):
averaged in two games almost fifteen yards per attempt, eight touchdowns,
non receptions. Against the seven other opponents the Ravens have
played as a passing quarterback, Lamar Jackson's averaging less than
seven yards per attempt, seven touchdowns, five interceptions. Now, I'm
not here to sing the praises of the Houston Texans
by they're certainly better playoff team right now, and they're
(38:49):
better than the Dolphins and the Bengals now. And the
other thing, Houston is coming off a bye. They had
a win over Jacksonville in London, so they've had a
little bit of extra time. This is a who would
match up for Deshaun Watson, who I've been critical of
over the years, Watson is one of the better quarterbacks
in the NFL. Against the Blitz. What are the Ravens
do on defense? Blitz blaze, blitze, blaze, blitze, blitze blatz.
(39:12):
They blitz more than any other team in the NFL.
And this should be another close game. The numbers only
four points here in this game. The Texans are one
of two teams that has not lost by more than
seven points over the last two seasons. So you think
maybe a monster teaser or something like that. The other team,
by the ways, the Chiefs. But here's another spot. We say,
(39:36):
is this where Lamar Jackson gets caught shamelessly staring at
his reflection in the mirror himself after that big victory
last week? And I say, a little of that does happen.
Plus they have a West coast trip. The Ravens play
the Rams next week in a primetime game. I'm gonna
(39:56):
take the Texans to win the game outright, Houston thirty
seven in Baltimore thirty six. Penny going that way as
well with the Houston Texans, all right? Next up Arizona
three six and one at Santa Clara eight. And oh
we start the late portion of the television window here
with this game late games, we don't have any no
more trivia from you, I have more. What the hell?
(40:18):
We only have three more games left. We relax? Okay,
all right, I know other people want to use the studio,
So anyway, it's on Fox. Chris Myers, my former colleague,
a respected member of the broadcast community, and Darryl moose Johnston,
former Cowboy, have the call. Now. The game opened up
the Niners and up fourteen point favorites down to eleven,
(40:39):
So the Niners are favorite by eleven, mostly sunny sixty
nine degrees. At kickoff at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara,
where the Niners play their home games, the pick is in.
I'm gonna take the Cardinals. And here's why. It is
not a mortal sin to lose to the Seahawks. But
if the Niners start losing this, if they lose this game,
(40:59):
that because a problem. Now I think that the Niners,
you figure, should win the game. They need to get
their mojo back against an inferior opponent. Jimmy Garoppolo has
been fine against the lightweights of the NFL. He had
good numbers when these teams played a few weeks ago,
and Arizona is twenty seventh in scoring defense, so it's
not like they have a ballhawking amazing defense. They don't,
(41:24):
but the Niners are still shorthanded. They have no George
Kittle this week. Who knows what, if anything, Emmanuel Sanders
will be able to provide. It sounds like he'll be playing,
but it could change between now and the kickoff, so
keep an eye on that. The other thing, Kyler Murray
Alligator Arms Murray has been great in garbage time. Twenty
(41:49):
five percent of this guy's passing touchdowns and twenty six
percent of Alligator Arms Murray's yards have come when the
Cardinals have trailed by multiple scores, and he's got a
ninety eight point two passer rating in those games, so
he's very comfortable when the Cardinals are way behind, and
then when the Cardinals are ahead, which doesn't happen all
(42:10):
that often. He's got a passer rating of below seventy nine,
so his numbers have been inflated by the Cardinals being
down and teams playing a soft defense against him. I
expect even more dumpster diving here. The old backdoor cover.
Anytime you get over seven points in a divisional game.
You don't ask questions. You take the points. I love
(42:31):
the double digit dogs, and I will take the forty
nine ers to win thirty three. The twenty six Cardinals
will cover penny go at the team from the Desert
Arizona Cardinals. All right, Next up, we'll get trivial in
honor of Gascon. You should get this because you're a
Bronco fanboy. Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen became the first quarterback
(42:55):
with a touchdown pass of seventy five plus yards in
his first career starts since blank. All Right, the answer
coming up here in a couple of minutes. Next game
up for US New England eight and one at Philadelphia
five and four. It's on CBS with Jim Nance and
Tony Roman. It's a big game for CBS. Patriots open
(43:17):
to three point favorite. They're favorite by three and a half.
It's gonna be cloudy, thirty nine degrees on Broad Street,
just off Broad Street there in South Philiot Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles, the Burns. I'm gonna take the Eagles in
this game. And here's why. Now you assume the Patriots
are gonna bounce back in a big way coming off
a bye week after being mollywopped by the Ravens. Bill
(43:39):
Belichick getting extra time often has been lethal. But the
Eagles also are coming off a bye week, so both
teams are coming in even in this and they should
get a big boost as well. Doug Peterson twelve and
seven against the spread when having extra time to prepare
for an opponent. Now, the reason the like Philly is
(44:00):
old dog and the Eagles have a pretty good pass rush.
The Patriot offensive line not very good. So Tom Brady
who will cover for the offensive line by throwing the
ball quickly, But he's gonna be under siege. Okay, he's
gonna be under stage now. Secondly, Philly should be able
to control the line of scrimmage on offense as well.
(44:20):
They have a pretty good offensive line. Carson Wentz is
obviously not a dual threat quarterback. Sorry if you think
he's like Lamar Jackson, he's not, and Lamar gave him
fits the last game the Patriots played. But the Eagles
can run the ball effectively with Jordan Howard and Sanders.
I believe they'll be able to run the ball a
(44:41):
little bit in this game. And I just have to
see the Patriots after that stank in Baltimore, come out
and just kick the snot out of somebody. They gotta
show me that before I get back on the Patriot bandwagon.
Because the Eagles are not a bad team, so there's
like an average NFL team. I'm gonna take the Eagles
to win the game out right. Eagles thirty, Patriots twenty seven.
(45:04):
Fly Eagles, Fly, Fly Eagles on the road to victory.
All right, let's get trivial. The answer. Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen,
the first QB with a touchdown pass of seventy five
plus yards in his first career starts since blank. I'm
(45:24):
gonna go with Dante Culpepper, good name, Vikings, Randy Moss,
big touchdown passes back in the day before he needed
a medicine man. No, the correct answer, r G three,
Robert Griffin the third when he had that breakout rookie season.
(45:46):
His first game he had an eighty eight yard touchdown
pass back in twenty twelve. Back in twenty twelve. All right,
next up Cincinnati, oh and nine at Oakland, don't do
it five and four. It's on CBS with Greg Gumbel
and Trent Green the Raiders open an eight point favorite.
They're favorite by ten and a half sixty seven degrees
(46:08):
in the Bay Area kickoff at Ring Central Coliseum, not
corporately named at all, I just called the Oakland Alameda
County Coliseum. The pick is in Gascon. Don't do it,
don't do it. Ban Gals, BEng Gals, Ben Gals, Ben
and Gals. I'm taking the Bengals, the Bungals, I am.
First of all, Listen the Raiders. You assume I was like,
(46:30):
they can't screw this up ride. Come on, this is
a show up, collect to win situation here. Just don't
commit penalties. Well, the Raiders lead the NFL and penalties
per game, so it's possible. Now you would think Derek
Carr will make enough plays here to win this game
against a second rate Bengals defense. This is a big
points all right now. I'm not gonna sit here and
(46:53):
tell you that Ryan Finley is any good. You've been
better off with Brian Finley playing quarterback if you're Cincinnati.
He look completely overmatched against the Ravens a very small
sample size. Guys can obviously get better from the first
start to the second start, because once the Raider defense
looks at that tape, they're going to start laughing and say,
we don't have to do anything. This guy sucks. And
(47:14):
now Philly's trying to audition for the Bengals starting job
in twenty twenty, but really he's just ensuring them that
they get a shot at Joe Burrow in the April draft.
Now that said, I'm gonna take the points here for
two reasons. The Raiders have yet to beat anyone by
more than eight points, and they played some bad teams. Plus,
over the long run, betting on double digit dogs has
(47:39):
proven to be a pretty good gambling strategy and it's
been very effective for me. Plus the Bengals, even though
they're terrible now, they were decent in recent years. Over
the last decade. They are four and one in California.
The Cincinnati Bengals have a fourign run record against the
teams in California they've done very well. Raiders will win,
but they won't cover. Raiders twenty eight Bengals twenty Penny's
(48:04):
going with the Raiders all rights. That just gotta pain
you as a Bronco fan. I'm not a fan, I'm
just an observer. You're an observer, Yeah, an independent observer,
not putting any money on the Bengals. You do something
you haven't died over several weeks, have taken the Dolphins?
Well yeah, but then the Dolphins all of a sudden
started covering. I've bet on the Dolphins the last three weeks.
(48:27):
I would have won won all those games, all right?
Next up Sunday Night football, Chicago, four and five at
the l A R. I am, it's five and four,
it's on NBC. You think al Michaels can join us
on Friday? He's calling this game, so he's not traveling
anywhere that high school game we're doing. That'd be great. Yeah,
al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth on the Peacock Network. The
(48:49):
Rams opened a seven and a half point favorite. There,
now you brought you brought this up? Should we do
an open like they do it? Like? Should I wear
a sweater like al Michaels? Then slide you in? Yeah?
You know what we should do? I would I'd like
to do it? Can I slide in? I wouldn't that?
That's a great idea. Guess guy, we we gotta do that.
You got let's do it? Can we do it? Yeah?
We can't. I want to slide in and I'll have
(49:10):
this goofy smile on my face too, like Chris Collinsworth,
this goofy, creepy smile. Oh, I gotta do it, We
gotta do it. Come on, think of the rate people
will be tuning in just for the open guests gun
to see me slide in like Collinsworth? How are you?
Come on? How are you on stand ups? Are you
good on opens? I haven't done one in like ten years?
(49:31):
But uh yeah, I mean it's it's all right. I mean,
you know, it's pretty simple, right, just throw a bunch
of cliches out there and uh yeah. But I remember
when I was in college and we used to do
the saddleback football and basketball inside this guy Brad Hoisteff
who I worked with, and Brad it was always funny
because he was the play by play gun. I was
the color commentator, and he would say something. I say, well,
(49:53):
that's right, Brad, you know, because he'd lead me into
something with some stat you know that's right. So that's
the key when your color commentator, whatever you say, guest gun,
like you'll lead me into an answer about the running
back for Jay Sarah right, this high school kid. I'll say,
that's right, David. He's a great player, you know, like
that's how you do it. We'll just still be like,
what's his name? Was it? Money in Major League? Okay?
He just doesn't talk at all of us like dynamite
(50:17):
color money. Yeah, well we'll see get that flop shaite
going anyway? Bears and Rams, Bears and Rams here, you know,
clear seventy two Sunday night, late evening at the Coliseum
in Los Angeles at kickoffs. Now, I love the Rams.
I'm all about the Rams. But there's no way in
(50:37):
hell I'm betting on the Rams this week. Uh No,
I hope they win. I hope I lose this bet,
but I'm taking the Chicago Bears. And I'll tell you why.
First of all, it is impossible for me, having watched
the Rams, to take the Rams and lay this number.
Jared Goff has eight interceptions seven fumbles over his last
seven games. Chicago's got a ball hawking, opportunistic defense led
(50:58):
by Khalil Mack. The Rams have a battered and broken
offensive line. This is a recipe for a whole lot
of mistakes, right, a whole lot of mistakes. Now, Secondly,
the Rams defense has been fine. It's the offense that
is broken in my opinion. No, statistically, they haven't been
(51:19):
that bad. The Rams have the NFL's number one defense
over the last three weeks. Did you know that? Yeah,
number one, last three weeks. They're allowing just twelve points
per game, and they're gonna have to play like that
to have a shot here. Mitch Trubisky is no good
I know that. And the LA offense has been more
of the middle of the Bell curve in recent weeks.
And history is not on the side of the Rams.
(51:44):
The Rams have lost six of seven to Chicago. And
check this out. I looked it up because I know,
being a Ram fan over the years, that they always
seem to lose against the Bears. And it turns out
that the Rams have a three ninety nine winning percentage
historically against Chicago. That is their worst record against any
NFC opponent in franchise history. They've not been worse against
(52:06):
anybody other than the Bears. So I hope I'm wrong,
but I'm gonna take Chicago twenty four the Rams twenty.
No way the Pennings going with the Rams either going
to Chicago Bears Dog Bears. All right, next up, Monday
Night football. I want to tell you I'm watching that game.
I'm pulling for the Rams, even though I picked the Bears.
All right, Monday Night Football Cans City six and four
(52:28):
at Mexico the Mexico Chargers, the La Chargers of as
Teca Stadium. Yes, the games in Mexico City. It's on ESPN.
So Booger Matchine going through customs with the name Booger,
Joe Testator and Booger McFarland have the call. I was
taking some notes from Joe Testator, who's a walking, talking
(52:50):
cliche gastcount so I might use some of his material.
Don't do that. He's a bit of a hardough anyway.
The Chiefs opened a three point favorite. They are favored
by four. It'll be mostly cloudy in Mexico City, sixty
five degrees at kickoff. We don't have a lot of time,
so I'm gonna take the Chiefs in this game. Taking
Kansas City A couple of reasons why a Kansas City.
(53:14):
Kansas City blew a game against the Titans last week.
The Chargers are of a similar pedigree, so you would
expect Patrick Mahomes to slice up the injury ravaged Chargers
secondary in this game. But the key is obviously in
a game like you limit the turnovers there, that's the
key in all these games where the Chargers are a
(53:34):
mash unit, they're hobbled, twisted, mutilated, all of that. They
need a witch doctor themselves at this particular point and
be While Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson have gotten a
lot of love from the media, do you know Philip
Rivers is the quarterback that has actually add lived for
an NFL leading ten created receptions. How about that pretty
(53:57):
good number? That is pretty good by Philip Rivers, the
advanced statistics from the NFL. Listen, the Chiefs, if you
lose to the Titans, you can lose to the Charges,
as we said, but I think this is a field
good situation. If the Chargers win this game, they're right
back in the divisional race. The Raiders are right back
in the thick of it right there as well, because
(54:17):
you figure they're gonna beat the Bengals. So the Chiefs
there's this is actually a big pressure spot because if
you lose, the ramifications are huge. Chiefs thirty three Chargers
twenty three penny not can upon a mash unit, but
we'll go with the La California Chargers of San Diego.
(54:40):
There you go, and that is it. That is a
rap for this edition of Benny Versus the Penny. Good luck.
Hope you win a lot of money. If you win
a lot of money, remember us. If you lose a
lot of money. This is just for entertainment purposes only.
We're not held responsible for your bad picks at all.
We'll be back in the Magic Radio Box on Sunday
night on the West Coast at eleven o'clock and that
(55:01):
would be of course two am in the East, and
we'll talk about all these NFL games in the post mortem.
Have a great weekend, be safe. I'll try to avoid
the hospital, so we'll do it again next week. Thanks.
