On the Friday edition of The Best Of Doug Gottlieb Show: Doug talks about how the USC-Colorado game will not be very competitive on the field, but that the real spectacle will be who is at the game watching.
Doug gives out five college picks and five NFL picks for the weekend in his "5 for 5". FOX Sports College Football analyst Chris Fallica joins Doug to go over the weekend of college football wagering.
Doug weighs in on Zach Wilson and how his comments about Joe Namath are the right things to say, but now he needs to deliver on the field. Former Bucs' GM Mark Dominik joins Doug to talk about the Lions, the Bears, and all of the other major headlines around the NFL.

is the way tire buying should be. You know, it's
interesting we get to this, we get to this place
where things have jumped the shark. I even think the
(00:51):
expression jumped the shark jumped the shark for a long time,
but now.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's super appropriate.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Jumping the shark is a well, I mean, look, I
know what it's from. Let me just ask Jay stew
you know what jumping the term jumping the shark is from?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Correct? I?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay? Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Do you know what where jumping the Shark comes from? Yes, okay, Ramos.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's that's affirmative.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Okay, so we all know. And maybe that shows our age,
doesn't it. I think it shows our age.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I think each of us actually saw the episode when
it aired.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't remember seeing the episode when it aired.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh, okay, I do not. He did, Yeah, I think
John and I did. How about you and Dan might
be all too young.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I don't know, I's too young.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Like we used to watch Happy Days, so Happy Days
and like this is a weird one, right, Like Ron Howard,
who's a famous filmmaker, was the star of a show
called Happy Days, which you may shows if you watch
TV land you may see it on right.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The most famous was Arthur Funds. Really the Funds.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
A a right, But the jumping the Shark episode was
when he was the fun was water skiing and literally
jumped a shark, right, which of course was on the
you know, on the universal set where they have the
shark gauze. Right, it's kind of painfully obvious. The shark
(02:13):
didn't look real, the jump didn't look real, and it
got to the point to where they had obviously run
out of storylines, and the show was effectively over in
regards to being kind of hip, cool.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Or any have any sort of relevance. Is that? Am
I missing anything? Guys?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Uh, you forgot the fact that Fonsi was wearing a
leather jacket.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
He's wearing a leather jacket while jumping the Shark.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
And it aired in nineteen seventy seven, so I think
it totally missed you. And down right yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Was born in seventy six, born in seventy six, But
I mean, you know that show had reared and I
did grow up with cable. I was We were not
a rich kid. But you tell people you grew up
with cable, like whoa Like When I went to California
in eighty one, we had cable, and Cable had Nickelodeon,
and Nickelodeon had repeats of of you know before where
they had nick at night, they would have repeats of
(03:03):
Happy Days on and I think maybe it was on
TBS some as well, or WGN, probably WGN, which that's
how everybody knew. The cubs they were bad, and the
braves also bad.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Not so much now.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But the amazing part about the Jumping the Shark is
I think the expression still holds and people still use
it despite the fact that I would say a high
percentage of people who use jumping the shark have no
idea what jumping the shark is actually known to. Nonetheless,
(03:43):
I feel like the Colorado thing is sort of jumped
the shark, and it has to jump the shark because
they're not eventually going to be very good because I
actually believe what Dion says, like if Shador stays, they're
going to get more quality transfers, They're gonna get a
higher level of player. And you know, I don't think.
(04:07):
I think there's a world there where the Big Twelve
isn't as good as the schedule they have played. Now
they haven't played the meat of the Pac twelve yet,
but they start this weekend, or started last weekend, start
this weekend right this But I don't think the Big
twelve next year and I don't know because so much changes.
But Oregon has a fifth year starting quarterback who started
his career in the sec USC this weekend will have
(04:30):
the number one pick in the draft. Michael Pennix, who
they'll play later on the year, is very likely a
first round draft pick, although he's older as a transfer
quarterback like Washington, Oregon USC to a lesterric extent, Ucla
Utah Like these are big time programs. And again, I
know Utah is going to the Big twelve along with Colorado,
(04:51):
but look around the Big twelve, and as much as
I'm a Big twelve wonk, if we're honest, you know,
the best teams in the Big twelve aren't gonna be
in the Big twelve next year. So there's a world
where Colorado is one of the favorites to win the
Big Twelve next year. A lot has to go right,
but there's a world like that. So when I say
(05:12):
it's Chef the Shark, you're like, oh, that means you
think Colorado football is going to stink.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That's not what I said.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's more the story, the people who are jumping onto
this bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
This you know how it works. I do think it's ironic.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It's like you get people who don't follow college football
who talk about, how, you know, dramatic the changes. We
haven't seen this in college football. When across the field
you look at Lincoln Riley and just last year he
took a down trodden USC program. Granted it's USC, not
not Colorado had been bad for a long period, but
(05:48):
pretty much long period of time, never really been a
dominant program since the early nineties. But the fact is
that USC was bad. USC hires a dynamic head coach,
takes him from another program, brings his quarterback with him,
and USC was awesome last year and this year they're
one of the favorites to reach the College Football Playoff.
(06:09):
So we have seen it a guy flip a program
and do it with a transfer quarterback. And it happened
on the other side of the field where I think
it's jumped. The shark is in the people just wanting
to show up to a game. There's Boulder is amazing.
It's beautiful, it's pristine, very earthy.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You can go on hikes, of course, you can ski.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
There's good bars like but it's and a good portion
of their student body is from California, right who want
to get away to somewhere different to go to school,
but they go to Boulder and it's a lot like
I remember this when I first moved to Orange County.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This is years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
My kids were little, first time I moved out to
Orange County, and you know, during I want to say
February break. They have what's called ski And if you
were going to go to Mammoth you would see half
the families that you that you you know, lived around
in Orange County. And if you went to Hawaii, went
to Hawaii one February, there's everybody else. And that's basically
(07:15):
what Colorado is. Colorado is a bunch of people from
California pretending that they're, you know, all of a sudden
now going to be hikers and very earthy and live
off the land. But this is the ultimate game of
Hangars honors. Please try and get me in a camera
shot fox sort.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Of game like the entire Colorado thing.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And granted, Boulder much more off the beaten path than
La and in the coliseum where you could just go like, well,
you know it's in LA. I want to see a
college football game. So I popped it. But you got
Will Ferrell, you got Snoop Dogg, you got the SC
guys who have been clinging to this SC you know,
SC fandom, and Will Ferrell went there, I believe, but
(07:59):
stooped it not. But of course you know, Stoops, what
you're seeing little Wayne do snip Stoop has done for
years and then of course Colorado's bringing all those people.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, how would you I think.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Jay s dou you had a different way of looking
at it, or maybe a more terse way of looking
at it. Right, trying to think how we how we
described that on radio.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I just think it's going to be a stadium filled
with d bags tomorrow that have the money to afford
to be there, and they're going to be there to
be seen. It'll be like the LA Forum Mountain Mountain time.
I don't know where I was going to that, but yeah,
just go to be seen, not necessarily taking that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
At least what is at the Forum or now it's
at Staples. You know, maybe now at Staples is the
you know, regular season NBA Christmas Day game, Right, that
doesn't mean anything. I mean, this wouldn't mean some USC
they can't lose, but the likelihood of I'm losing the
game is not great. They're three touchdown plus favorites and
Colorado's all banged up. Yeah, it's a game that's not
(09:06):
accepted to me close, but it's gonna be a who's
who of Hey man, can I get in this camera shot?
I guess that Byer, you love going to games as
I do. If somebody say, hey, I'm gonna give you
the weekend off and give you this ticket, or you
can spend it at home with your family, would you
do it?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I would.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
I would probably go. I still think that it is
worth saying. There are certain regrets that I that I
have in my life. You know, I've never been to
a Seahawks home game despite being a fan, and I'm
regretting that I never saw Russell Wilson quarterbacked or a
legion of Boom game there. Like, even if I wanted
(09:49):
to go, you know, at some point this season, it's
still a different feel and I feel like going to
a Colorado game while there is still juice with Colorado
and this Dion start would be a story that you
would tell. No, maybe at the end is you you
know are saying that it is. But I still would
want to go to get that last shot because I
(10:12):
just don't know how much juice is left in that orange.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, and you know last year you're gonna get to
see KYLEB. Williams yeah in college, get.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
A college game.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, and he makes him Wold plays Jase, do any
chance you would go to this game?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
It will take a lot. I'm not as enthusiastic about
being at games as you guys are, but no, if
it was free and I somehow got to fly in
and out, I think there's gonna be a lot of
those people too at the game, by the way, to
go there to see who's there, as opposed to kind
of go to go to see the game. And you
(10:49):
brought up Lil Wayne by the way. Will Wayne made
it into our segment. I think it was two weeks
ago about people that are overexposed that have kind of
over overplayed their hand. And guess who ran out the
Packers last night.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He was he wrapped at the Raiders game on Sunday
night and then he ran out with the Packers. Now
he has been a Packers fan, he does own uh
as you guys know. I went and I was in
Green Bay and last March and they have this cool
area across the street from the stadium called Title Town
and they have these like brand new, I think, like
(11:24):
million dollar town homes. And I was told that Lil
Wayne does oh one that like he is a hardcore
Packers fan, but he was just at he was at
the last Colorado home game, right and he'd led them out,
and then he was at the Raider game rapping and
now he's I just like, yeah, I he I would
(11:47):
overexpose this fair, overexposed his fair, completely fair. And the
crazy part about it is like, I just we all
know what it's going to be, and we're all still
going to watch and maybe that makes us like curmudgeons,
but there's going to be more cutaways and agents texting
(12:10):
people at Fox to make sure I get.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I mean even last time, right like, why was the
Rock there? I get?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think WWE was in Denver and that was when
he's first back in WWE, so it did, in fact
make sense. But the Hangars owners, sideline pass guy who's
got nothing to do with the school and very little
to do deal with Dion and just try to catch
some of that clout. That's what this weekend is going
to be. What's occurring off the field is in many
(12:42):
ways more compelling that would be on the field. And
that's an eye roller right by the way. I just
I told people this yesterday on the show. I don't
know if people caught it. As Jaystu point out, is
that a ten o'clock start time, Yeah, usc actually, and
this is one of the they're getting ready for the
Big ten, but it's also part of their program. They
(13:03):
get up twice week six am and lift even in season.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, that just sounds awful to me. By the way,
six am.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
That means you got to make set your alarm at five,
make sure you don't oversleep, you don't sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But they'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (13:15):

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Winners, twelve we Gotta five, NFL College five on three
five five for five with Doug Gottlieb, Let's go five
kind are.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Five for five. Let's start in college football.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Clemson's taken on Syracuse and a lot of people are
down on Clemson because the Tigers, well, they lost to
Florida State and they lost to Duke. But if you
remember the Duke game, of course, you know, two block kicks,
two fumbles inside the ten, even the Florida State game
that frankly they had one last week if not for
an untimely turnof for taking on a Syracuse team that Okay,
(14:31):
look they're four to zero on the season, but let
me give you the wins Colgate, Western Michigan, the Burdue
win on the roads a good one, and Army.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Now this is going to be a zoo at the Dome.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And Clemson of course comes in as believe it or not,
a six and a half point favorite. Despite being two
and two, Clemson is a superior roster. Clemson does have
good quarterback play. Clemson, though downtrodden and out of the
national championship race already only in game five of the season.
In Week five of the season, Clemson's gonna win, Clemson's
(15:04):
gonna cover in the Battle of Orange in.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Syracuse, New York.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Colorado's taken on USC and I understand, it's very easy
to be down on USC's defense because at times they've
given up big plays, even to the likes of San
Jose State, not as much to Nevada, who's not particularly good,
or last weekend to Arizona State. But one of the
curious things that happens when you create a buzz, and
there's an absolute buzz about Colorado football that's undeniable, is
(15:34):
you start to get everybody's best shot.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Everyone gets their neck cleaned for this game, but I
mean neck cleaning. You know, you go get to clippers,
get your neck doll cleaned up, use that straight blade
razor to make sure you look good. And when USC
wants to be great, they are Colorado. They're just beaten up.
And look, they probably should have lost to Colorado State.
It wasn't like they were dominant over Nebraska. Nebraska's quarterback
(15:59):
shot himself in the foot, And yes they beat TCU,
but they had to have two timely turnovers in the
red zone by TCU in order to pull off that win. Again,
not trying to diminish what they've been able to do,
considering three and a half was the win total. But
I'm just being realistic. Here they get USC's best shot,
and that's not a good thing. USC's gonna win, US
is gonna cover now. As for the seventy three.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Man, that's a big total.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's a big, big total, especially considering the altitude that
does become a factor and the fact that USC, if
they get an early lead, a little bit like Oregon,
even though organ said they weren't taking the foot off
their gas, they will.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I like USC and the under.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
The total right now is seventy three and the line
is twenty one and a half. It drops below twenty one,
then just go crazy on USC. But I really like
USC and the under. Kansas State's on Texas and KU
continues to have just a remarkable, remarkable year under Lance Leopold,
who last year rose them prominence, and they brought back
(17:01):
a good portion of the team this year and are
healthier at quarterback. There four and oh they're taking on
Texas on the road. The total is sixty one and
a half and the lion is sixteen and a half
in favor of Texas. And remember this a Kansas team
that beat a good BYU team. They also beat Illinois
earlier this year, so it's not like they've played all
(17:23):
you know, rummy competition to this point. On the other hand,
Texas is just playing on a different level. They going
to Baylor, who's not great this year, beat them thirty
eight to six.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Wasn't competitive.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
They had Alabama's defensive backfield completely and totally lost. Yes,
you could you could wonder about how excited they are
about taking on taking on Kansas when Oklahoma is next weekend.
That's the dreaded look ahead game. But I just think
this team feels like they're wired a little bit different.
(17:56):
I like Texas to cover that gigantic spread against four
n oh Kansas. Okay, here's a curious one, right Iowa.
Brian Farrens is their offensive coordinator, and you know he's
got a what average twenty five a game and they
got to win seven games and last weekend they had
four first downs. But they're traveling home to take on
(18:18):
Michigan State. And Michigan State since Miltucker was first suspended
and then fired, they were beaten forty one to seven
and thirty one to nine. Those were both home games.
Now they're on the road. Meltucker's officially out. And remember
remember that the way in which the rules work with
the transfer portal is These players now have I believe
(18:39):
a month to decide whether or not they want to
put themselves in the portal. And you might ask yourself, okay,
but why do it now or why not play now
when you're.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Already committed to the season.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
The rules are such if you play four games or less,
that can become your red shirt year.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It doesn't even count.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I don't know how many of the best players from
Michigan State play this weekend or what their motivation is.
As for Iowa, I mean, the motivation for the coaching
staff is obvious, and the motivation for the team couldn't
be more obvious as well as they could still get
another shot because they don't play Ohio State this year.
They don't play Michigan this year. They played Purdue, they
played Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers, Illinois, Nebraska, all games they
(19:19):
could win. Motivated to do so eleven and a half
point line, give me the Hawkeyes to cover the eleven
and a half point spread and to help get Brian
Farrens closer to that average that he needs an Old
SEC matchup now in excuse me, an Old Southwest Conference
matchup now in the sec. Texas A and M is
staying on Arkansas and the Hogs are coming off two
(19:42):
really difficult losses, close losses, one to BYU at home
and last weekend at LSU and the taken on Texas
A and M. And Texas A and M lost their
starting quarterback. But Max Johnson returns. Remember Max Johnson, his dad,
Brad Johnson, was quarterback for Tampa, and of course Max
started his career at LSU and ends up at tex
A and M. And last year he was pretty good
(20:04):
when he came in as a backup. Now he gets
another chance to be the starter.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's his team.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
This is a really talent text A and M team,
and I'm not sure Max Johnson is a bad option
at all. Yes, they lost to Florida. There were some
calls that didn't go their way and didn't play as
well as probably they should have. But you go back
and look at the film and there was a couple
of fifty to fifty plays they just did not get
the calls and didn't make some plays did last weekend
against Auburn, I mean Auburn needed a crazy play even
(20:30):
to score ten points. The defense is dominant and the
offense will be better fifty three and a half. I
like the under, and I like A and M to
cover the under, and A and M to cover.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Let's get to the NFL picks.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Let's start with the game being played overseas as at
Wembley Stadium. Jacksonville is going to take on Atlanta early
in the morning. Jacksonville coming off a couple of losses,
obviously to the Chiefs and then and a disappointing one
to Houston last week. Now they take on Atlanta, who's
a surprising two and one behind a young star running back,
and they have some good talent. I like Jacksonville in
(21:09):
this jackson obviously used to playing games overseas, Jacksonville is
better than how they've played. And what do you always
hear about the NFL? Right if you don't like how
your team played, wait a week, maybe it's two weeks.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
But Jacksonville wins. They cover the three point line.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Rumblings out of Cleveland about the possibility that Deshaun Watson
doesn't play because of injury. The line right now, the
line right now is the Ravens are a one point
dog in Cleveland. So you may ask yourself self, who
is the backup quarterback to Deshaun Watson in Cleveland if
(21:47):
he doesn't play. The answer is DTR Dorian Thompson Robinson,
who's a four year starter at UCLA and a good
athlete and a good college quarterback. And you could say
that there's some actual to how Deshaun Watson used to
play running the football. And yes, the Baltimore Ravens are
completely banged up and they lost at home after having
(22:08):
a big lead to the Indianapolis Colts. That said, you
take Deshaun Watson off of this team and they don't
have Nick Chubb, and I don't like Cleveland at home.
Give me Baltimore knowing that there's a strong possibility that
Cleveland's not starting not starting Deshaun Watson at quarterback. San
(22:29):
Francisco forty nineers Welcome in the airson A Cardinals. Cardinals
have played well in all three games, and they were
awesome last weekend to beat the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys didn't
have three starting linemen as well as obviously not having
Digs in their defensive backfield. San Francisco forty nine ers
out for Blood. Out for blood in San Francisco, a
fourteen point line, perfect weather, This will be a monstrous
(22:52):
blowout win for the San Francisco forty nine ers. Give
me the Niners and that massive, massive spread. Chargers take
on the Raidest And as much as it will be
a Raider home game in LA, it hasn't bothered the
Chargers when they played in LA against the Raiders at
all times. And the Chargers no their in need of
(23:13):
a home win. Now, they did lose Mike Williams to injury,
but outside of that relatively clean Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo was
kind of a mess, right and he may not play,
and then it would be Brian Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell.
I just look at the Raiders and I don't think
they're very good. I don't obviously, you know, you got
(23:33):
one great rush in, but the defense isn't particularly good.
And I think the Chargers are far better talent wise.
And as much as there have been calls in the
question of Brandon Staley, you can say the same thing
about Josh mcdainers. Give me the Chargers and the five
point line. The Broncos take on the Bears. This one's
in Chicago, and obviously both teams should be embarrassed by
(23:56):
their performances last weekend. But I gotta tell you, I
without the starting left tackle with Chicago throwing justin fields
back out there. I know that Russell Wilson isn't the
same guy he used to be, but he's got to
be better than the guy that we've seen and that
quit that white flag that was waived in Denver. This
is one of those if you don't get it right,
everybody's gonna lose their job. I think the Broncos bo
(24:17):
up mounts back there three and a half point favorites.
Give me the Broncos on the road. Little bonus pick
for you here in the bonus Kans City Chiefs, you
got to take the power of Taylor Swift. No, I'm
not going to annoy Jason Stewart with the Taylor Swift mentioned.
I just I don't see the Jets being able to
score and the Kansas City Chiefs can score and they
(24:39):
have Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs do not. I mean,
then the Jets do not. They're nine point favorites. This
is an easy win for Kansas City. Protect Pat Mahomes,
get rid of the football and just play solid defense.
They will Chiefs win. Chiefs all cover all right, that's
it for our five for five here on the Doug
Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Five there it is five NFL five College five for
five with Doug Gottlieb.

I want to get to your bear Bets of the week.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
But let's talk about the game that Colorado has been
the highest rated in terms of TV ratings we've seen
the last I think two games they've played, and again
based upon what you read on social media, the handle
on Colorado Colorado games has been gigantic. They're once again
a three touchdown underdog, this time at home against USC.
(25:47):
Still won't have Travis Hunter, we don't know about Shiloh Sanders.
What are your thoughts on the twenty one point line
or the seventy three point total.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Seventy three spiels feel kind of high saw last week
and I know Oregon's defense is better than SC's, but
if if Hunter is not out there, and I've heard
some rumblings that we may not be able to We
were hurt his ankle light in that Oregon game last week.
I've heard he may be out as well, so that
(26:17):
that that would really limit what Colorado can do on offense,
even against an SC defense which is giving up some plays.
And look, I think they kind of sluck walked last
week in Kemp against the Sun Devils, and I think
this is an opportunity. And we talked about this earlier
at the start of the year, like typically when you
get kind of a mediocre to the subpar team, you're
(26:41):
not necessarily getting a team's best shot every week. Like
the big game teams are kind of just kind of
sliding through it is looking to get out with a win.
But because it's Keion Sanders and because of all the
hype and the social media and the ratings and and everything, like,
they are going to get everybody's best shot. I would
be surprised if that seed did not come in here
tomorrow and put up a big number on offense, especially
(27:03):
after kind of going through the motions last year. Left
week and not looking so great, So I would be
inclined to lay the twenty one and look at an
FC team total over. I know that number has kind
of come down a little bit this week. I think
it opened it twenty four or somewhere around there, and
now it's not twenty one. So could be an opportunity
here to buy a little low on the truchans.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And I'll give you a little little inside tip, but
you can't. This is for your segment, not for everybody
else's segment. That if you get the body clock, oh bodyclock,
it's early start time. USC lives twice a week at
six in the morning, and they feel like bodyclock shouldn't
be an issue issue for their guys, so they've prepared
for this all off season and regular season long. Let's
(27:46):
get to the Big twelve, which is kind of calling
itself the Big twelve, but this is an old Southwest
Conference matchup. Houston a disappointing two and two against Texas Tech,
who lost their starting quarterback for the years to close
one at West Virginia after you went down, but they
found ways to lose. You know, could have beaten Oregon
at home, had Wyoming and then there's a two and
(28:08):
a half hour delay, and then they lose at West
Virginia after Shure goes down with the broken ankle. What
are your thoughts at home at home in Lubbock as
what I'm seeing as an eight and a half point
favorite in the total of fifty two.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
You never know exactly what you're going to get from
a Denier holders and coach team. I mean, they're usually
a wide arrange array of outcomes you can get front
of anything. Taking on Tech here, a team that he's
kind of familiar with, and then Bene Soocia, who's been
around for a while. Donovan Smith, the Euston quarterback, was
it Tech last year, So I think that certainly comes
(28:43):
into play as well. He certainly won't want to go
out and prove that he can play. And again, the
Tech quarterback situation worries me a little bit. I think
there are more in the backup dings shoulder, I think
in that game last week as well, so he may
not be one hundred percent. If he's limited, then then
who the hell knows what Tech will do with quarterbacks.
(29:04):
So I think getting the eight and a half points
with Houston here despite getting drilled at TCU. I think
that feels like the right play. I just don't know
how good this tech offense is going to be without
Shucking everything. The only time they look like a real
functional offense was with Shuck running, and without him out there,
I think they're going to struggle. So give me, give
(29:25):
me the Kuchris plus eight math.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Oldest rivalry in the South is Georgia taking on Auburn.
They head down the Planes Dogs are fourteen a half
point favorites. Low total though at forty five. What are
your thoughts on Georgia Auburn.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I like the Auburn team total under fifteen and a half.
If you go back to twenty seventeen season, Auburn won
the regular season meeting and then Georgia completely annihilated them
in the SEC title game. The six games, Auburn has
scored ten, ten, six, fourteen, ten and seven in those games.
And if you look at what Auburn's offense has done
(29:57):
this year in the two Power Five games, they play again,
Thing and M and Cal two hundred and thirty yards
two hundred yards three and a half yards to play,
two offensive touchdowns and one of them came on a
seventeen yard drive. So it is clear that Auburn is
really struggling, not only at the quarterback position, but at
the offensive line as well. He's rotated for and ash
(30:19):
for it in like they really don't have a chance
right now on offense. So I found anuder fifteen and
a half. It's a team total to be very attractive.
If it's fourteen and a half, I think still take
that as well, but it's just based on how Auburn
has really struggled against this team since Georgia has become
the national power that they are.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I forgot to get into it because we started with
sc and Colorado. But tonight big game in the pack
as you have Utah four to zero dominant upfront taking
on Oregon State. We don't know about Utah cam rising
situation and of course Oregon State and DJA adalle but
coming off of their first loss of the year at
the Police, returning home playing in Core Vallas, the Beaves
(30:58):
are a four point favorite and the total is forty four.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Well, you can interpret the line move however you would like.
This game has moved from I think three three and
a half to four and a half in last twenty
four hours. So my sense is I don't think we
can expect Rising to play. I kind of think like
maybe the bye week next week has been a kind
(31:22):
of an internal kind of mark all along to get
him back out there. So I think the backup's going
to be out there again tonight, and I think in
Corvallis that's going to be a rough go. I think
it's going to be a very low scoring kind of game.
I saw Utah team total at twenty and a half.
That was what I thought was the most appealing bet
(31:43):
out there because I think they will struggle to run
the ball against the Beavers and it's going to be
up to the backup to to see what he can do.
So I would kind of look at maybe Oregon State
money line being at the line being that to move
north of the field goal and a Utah team total unders.
That's those are the two things I'm looking at to
that big, big game for Oregon State coming back off
(32:06):
that loss, and then he dj to do well and
maybe they maybe they even look at maybe bringing in
Charles for a little change of pace as well, because
it looks like Angele has kind of been pressed in
the last couple of weeks. He started off the first
couple weeks really good. In the last couple of weeks,
whether it's been film or whatever, he's kind of taking
a little bit of a step back. So so maybe
they maybe they're bringing Charles to give a little bit
of a change of pace against what is a really
(32:27):
good Utah defense.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Christ Luka joining us of course. He's the gambling expert
and analyst for Big newon Kickoff. He also has his
own podcast called bear Betts. He joins in the Doug
Gottlieb Choke here on Fox Sports Radio. Give Me, Give
Me a bonus. One kind of off the beaten path.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Picked for this weekend.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
It's a big weekend in the Sun Belt. There's some
really good Sunbolt game. Troy Georgia State is probably the
best of the games. Georgia State's four to Oh they
just be Coastal Carolina by double digits at Coastal Carolina
and now you're home against Troy and the line's only one.
It seems like a very strange line to have a
(33:04):
four and zero team up a big win at home
and you're only a one point favorite against Troy. And
that's before you kind of dive into how good the
Troy defense has been and how good Troy has been
under John Somerl the head coach, and these kind of
toss up type games where the spreads within a field
goal kind of either way. Like he's been involved in
(33:25):
six of him and they've won five out right, So
like he's a really good coach who coached defense under
Mark Stups Kentucky. I have a ton of respect for him.
There wouldn't surprise me at all if see Troy go
on the road and that defense travels them to get
a win against Orgia State.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Awesome stuff. Chris, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 1 (33:41):

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. So Zach Wilson's going
to get another shot to start for the Jets, of
course they're taking out of the Kansas City Chiefs this
upcoming weekend at home.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Not sure if.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You're aware, but Travis Kelcey is going to have a
special guest, Taylor someone named Taylor Swift joking. But the
big news in New York is not that Taylor Shift
is going to a Jets game. It's that Zach Wilson's
going to get another chance to start. And he said
this about the criticism he's heard from legendary former Jets
(34:42):
quarterback Joe Namath.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
And he's passionate.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
He obviously was one of the greats, and so that
says an offense, we got to do everything we can
just to try and prove them on and keep doing
what we can and improve. I think the guys are
feeling very optimistic. You know, we all believe in each other.
We're all right there, so excited for this week. Obviously,
Joe was an unbelievable player, but this locker is very
tight knit and we're working to get better. I'm working
to get better. I know I need to improve, and
(35:04):
I promise I'm doing everything I can to keep trying
to get better. And so the focus is just to
rely on each other in this locker room and lean
on each other because that's all we got at the
end of the day, and we're going to do everything
we can to keep improving.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Listen, all those are great answers and probably could have
used those answers last year when it was bad. But
at some point the play has to improve.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Last year it was about the play, but also about
kind of the persona and the answers, if you will.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
This year it's just about the fact that they're not
very good with him at quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
And the crazy part is that we didn't really get
a chance to see Aaron Rodgers. And even though the
skill positions skill vision players are really good and with
Aaron Rodgers you would think the line thinks, So we
don't even know if they would have been good of
Aaron Rodgers was there, but nothing was. Zach Wilson's answers
(36:01):
problem is at some point it's not about what you say,
it's about what you do, and he just hasn't done
enough to silence those critics. That sounds bad, Dan, It
sounds like bad bad for Shadow.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
Yeah, it was even worse than it sounds. He was
not good.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, what do you attest it? To other than the
fact that they were.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Better than US.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
I think, yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
I think it's it is difficult to win on foreign soil.
It's why it hasn't happened in thirty years for the Americans.
Some questions on the matchups that were sent out especially early.
No Brooks Koepka, No Justin Thomas Jordan Speeth in the
first sessions, and the US lost that for nothing. So
that's where that's where Zach Johnson is under the microscope.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
All Right, Mark Dominic joins us.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
He spent twenty years in NFL front offices and scouting,
former general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Mark
joins just on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
All Right, let's start in Miami last weekend. Have you
ever seen anything like what happened to Denver?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
It's been a long time. I mean I literally was
watched the game and never thought I'd see seventy and
it was just impressive and it was just explosion playoffs,
explosion play and there's nothing the Broncos could do about it.
And it just shows you the amount of speed, but
also that system that they take from Shanahan that you know,
Kyle's having success right now in San Francisco. Obviously he's
done success in Miami. And it's you know, when you've
(37:28):
got talented players in a quarterback, they could stay on
the field. But I didn't expect seventy. There's no way
I could thought of that.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
How much of it is Denver quitting?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I mean, like, look, you give up that many yards
on the ground in the third and fourth quarter. At
some point, at some point, it comes down to your competitiveness.
And I just know, I got to think that has
to have something.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
To do with it.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Oh, I think it does. I mean, look, this is,
you know, as tough as it gets, you know. You know,
Sean Payton was right before the season was talking bad
about Nathaniel Hackett and what was wrong with Denver Broncos,
you know, and how bad it was. And then it
turns around in Denver lets the team put seventy on them.
It's a bad look. And I agree. Sometimes when you
(38:15):
get to these kind of games, players at that point
start to think about their bodies. They start to think
about that I don't want to end up this game's over,
I don't want to get hurt, and more and more
bad plays happened because of it. I think that's what
happened is that players started to be a little more
selfish in that situation and say, hey, this thing's out
of reach, I just don't want to get hurt, and
therefore they don't play to the same level. And that's
what happened to this game.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Well what about Miami.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
They go to they go to Buffalo this weekend and obviously,
you know, I think people on many levels though Sean McDermott,
you know, cut his teeth as a defensive coordinator. Philadelphia
didn't work out great replacing Jim Johnson, and of course
in Carolina did they went to Super Bowl. Now he's
taken over defensive playing calling duties for his own team
this year. How does their defense match up with what
(38:57):
Miami likes to do?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Pretty good? I mean they've got you know, I think
that they've got some things that are happening on their
defense this year that you number one, that they're healthy
right now, which is obviously a big piece of any puzzle.
But I think they are a faster defense they were
even a year ago. And I think that's what you
when you're playing the Dolphins, you have to be and
one of those guys I think is Terrell Binard. He's
the second year player, is still going to pick up
for them last year. He's come in there and played
really fast, athletic, you know, kind of the mic linebacker,
(39:22):
but can really run and side by the sideline. And
he's been helpful as we saw it even last week,
right you got Defensive Player of the Week by his
production line. I think that's part of it. The other
part is, you know, is you know, I think again
on the back end, I think they're pretty good. But
you obviously you've got Tredavious White. They got some experience
back there with homegoing guys that have been in their
system for one, two, three, four, five, six years and
(39:45):
I think that's been important too. So they play good.
Now do they match up great? I don't think anybody
in the NFL can match up really good against the
healthy Waddle and healthy Hill. And that's going to be
a problem for anybody because you've got to decide whether
you're going to take away the deep ball like Bill
Parcells did, Bill Belichick did, or you're gonna have to
decide if you're going to you know, stop stop the
run and or stop the deep ball and give up
(40:08):
some of the run. And I think that's what you
got to decide which it is. And it didn't work
for Belichick to say, hey, look, you know i'm gonna
take this part away. I'll take away the deep ball,
and you still lose. So it's a tricky Dolphins team.
Their offensive lines played pretty good. I don't love the
matchup for the Buffalo Bills, but I had the Bills
the Super Bowl prior to the season starting. I'm not
going to come off from now.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Mark Dominic join US coach former general manager of Tampay
Buccaneers Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's
get to the Chargers and last weekend, I was told
that the Chargers are all on board, like front office
on board with going for it own twenty four fourth
in less than the yard. You know they fall back
(40:50):
on hey, conversion rate seventy five percent. We get that,
we win the game, They hold on to win their
first win of the season. What were you thinking when
you saw it?
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah, I thought it was a good call, obviously, But
the Charges, like we talked about last week, I thought
this game was much more critical for the Chargers to
get to one and two than it is the Vikings
to get to one and two. And that's because that
AFC is going to be a battle all the way
to the end, and you've got to start getting on
the wing call. And so I think the Chargers looked
at it's like, look, we've got to figure out how
to make this happen. And you know, he's certainly coach
(41:19):
Dailey's certainly been very aggressive throughout his stay there and
didn't change and I think that I guess it's not
a surprise because of how they've decided to play the
analytics portion of it, but they've been consistent doing that
all all.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Mark Dominicks is our guest here on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Okay,
so they take on the Raiders, who feel like a
bit of a mess, like Garoppolo's interceptions were bad, and
then I don't know how you kick a field goal
they're down eight.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Did you understand why they kick a field goal down eight?
Speaker 3 (41:49):
No? Not really. I don't love that kind of mindset either.
I think it's one of those things where you're you're like,
what's the point at that point? Neither you've got you're
not gonna I know, you're thinking you can score twice
or whatever it's going to be, but you know there's
huments to go in the game. You know, you know
it's not a great down and distance that you love,
but you know he's still gonna want to get the
ball back and have to score. I don't love it.
(42:11):
I mean, I don't know how I was to say it,
you know, but the problem was it was what fourth
and seven, and they were worried they couldn't make it,
and I thought they would go for it, and clearly
that didn't work out. And so you know, it's a
surprise for me the way that they played that game.
But I you know, I still think when you look
at the Pittsburgh Steelers, you look at the Raiders, Pittsburgh
(42:32):
was found a way to win that game, and sad
for the Raiders, Jimmy Garoppolo and not only looked bad
in terms of making those turnovers, but he looked bad
because I think he was already in the concussion situation
where now he's in the concussion protocol. It doesn't look
like he's going to play this week, No.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
It doesn't.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Deshaun Watson may not play this week for Cleveland they're
going to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously the Ravens
have some injury and issues, but what do you think
of their collapse last weekend at a home against the
Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Yeah, it's surprising there too. I mean obviously, you know
all along I thought, actually, Gardner, bitch, you might start
the season. It's nice to have a guy that can
go in there and win games for you when you're
needing to win. But yeah, I thought, this is a
game where you know, I think last week and kind
of prove that you just talked about a field goal.
You know, it was important for the Colts. They were
five for five on field goals and Tucker missed one.
I mean, this is a game where you know, last week,
(43:24):
what was it the Saints of the Packers, where the
same t had a chance to win the game and
miss the field goal, And so kickers still are a
big part of it. To me, this is where the
Ravens bent and didn't break. But the Colts never missed
a field goal and went five for five and you know,
those points start to rack up against a Ravens team
that you know still is trying to find the run. Game.
I think Gusadra is doing a good job, but you know,
(43:45):
they just always get banged up once one guy goes down.
That running back room in the Ravens, it's a bizarre
group of guys that can't seem to something to stand
up and stay healthy for him once somebody else goes down.
So it's going to be really important. I have Gus
Edwards out there. I do think he's a number one back. Then, well,
he just got stay healthy and I think that they
can rely on having guts out there the entire time.
This Ravens team will win those games. If they lost
(44:06):
this last week. But you know, Gay made some big ones, right.
He made three kicks over fifty yards and that's a
huge deal, and that's how they won this game.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
What's your evaluation of Jared Goff?
Speaker 3 (44:18):
You know he's building on what he did last year, right,
and then I think that's the most exciting thing. You
can sit there and safe. You're a Denver, a Detroit
Lions fan, is you know that he's played very consistent,
he's played very smart, and you know he's been able
to put this team in great situations to win ball games.
And even though you know last night was his best performance, No,
(44:38):
but wasn't good enough to make sure that they won
the game. They ran the ball preak right, David Montgomery,
you know, he turned around handed off. I think the
Sam Laporter guy has been a really big find for them,
you know, in terms of the draft and what the
impact he's having for them, Unlike any of the other
tight ends that were drafted as how to me, Sam
Laport's come out as you know, a really great draft
tight end class, and he's the guy that's really kind
(44:59):
of impacted his football team right off the bat. Not
Luke mus Grave, even though I think Muskrave is going
to be a great or craft you know, not Kincaid,
but it's been Laporta And I think when you have
that fact that you trust and you can run the
ball effectively, and he'll have gibs also in the passing game,
I think it all works together that allows Jared Golf
to be in that top twenty, top fifteen, maybe even
(45:21):
type of quarterback. And if you've got that, you got
a chance.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
So when you hear poor Man's Matt Ryan, I kind
of think Ryan Fitzpatrick mailed it.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
What do you.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
Think he could be? Matt Ryan. I don't even know
if he's a poor man's Matt Ryan, because it's not
like and I love Matt Ryan and he's going to
get a Hall of Fame jacket. But know Matt Ryan
didn't end up with any Super bowlings either and then
had a lot of success. I feel like Jared Golf
has kind of grown into or I think he is
kind of Matt Ryan, where every week you have a
chance to win. He may not be the best quarterback
in your division because that was Drew Brees, but he's
(45:51):
good enough to put you in every game every week.
And that's Jared Golf and I think that's where he's become.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
It's a great point. My thing was.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
I get that the or man's is probably what set
him off or sets people off, but it's like when
they're being compared to Matt Ryan become a bad thing.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
I don't know, I disagree. I mean again, hall of
Fame jacket's going to be on him at some point
in some point soon, and I agree Matt Ryan couldn't
quite ever have the right luck or the right play,
call it the right pass protection win that Super Bowl,
but he deserved one because he's.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
He was a Warrior, What do you think the Bears
should do?
Speaker 3 (46:24):
You know, we talked about this last week about justin fields,
and obviously, you know the concerns are there, and then
the concerns continue to show up, and I think the
Bears just play the season out and if they have to,
you know, call it, call it what it is. If
it's not there, you know the Bears are going to
have to go back to the drawing board and redraft
it up. In a class that next year is going
to be is We're going to talk about it more
(46:46):
and more as we keep going, but that's going to
be a really good class quarterbacks. I think for some
of these guys that are going to make a decision
to come out and how they're playing, it's going to
be a great quarterback class. So if there's a year
where you have to sit there and say, hey, look
we've given us the time, we've made our decision, we're
moving on, and then they'll have to move on. But
I mean, at this point, you've made your bed if
to get sleep in it, and it's going to be
a long season. I don't think the Bears worked themselves
(47:08):
out of this. I just don't think that they're overall
a good enough football team, and I think there was
a lot of hype and again even preseason, I think
we were talking and I said, I don't think he's
going to make the jump to that just lost fields
Jalen Hurts made last year. I just never saw that,
and you know right now, sadly you're not seeing it.
And I think they've got to get back to doing
(47:29):
something right. And that's when I was with coach Dungee
at the Bucks early in my career. Coach Dungee always said,
do less, do it better, and I think that's where
the Bears got to kind of tighten things down and
make sure they can do fundamental stuff good enough. And
may that be games where you lose eighteen to fourteen, yes,
but you got to start getting some confidence within that offense,
within that team, and that's doing less and doing it right.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Doug out let me show here on Fox Sports Radio.
That's the voice of Mark Dominic. Of course as a
former gentle manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Mark,
I'm super interested, okay in the Patriots and Mac Jones.
It seems to be like a reputation thing here where
I don't know, like I thought, he's played pretty well
first couple of weeks of the season. But you hear,
(48:16):
you know, bits and pieces and sniping last year is
about the coordinator. It's always been about, you know, is
he a dirty player? What do you hear about Mac
Jones as the starting quarterback of the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
Yeah, I don't think he's a dirty player. I know
that that they come across very well with sost Carter
by any chance. But you know, this is the thing
talked about the Patriots and we've talked about it too.
They're not explosive and they're not going to score points.
They just don't have those type of players in their
football team. They've got a lot of guys that you know,
have had opportunities. But there's a reason why the Patriots
are averages what seventeen points a game, just over seventeen
(48:50):
points a game, and I think that's going to be
the norm. You know, I don't think this Patriots team
is going to go out there and blow away teams.
And I think that's because Mac Jones is a good
football player, but he is not exceptional and I don't
think they've surrounded him with exceptional talent. And then I
think those two things combined are going to keep this
Patriots team down so that everybody can sider around and
look at it and go, what's wrong with Mac Jalones?
What's wrong with the saw? It's the speed on that
(49:12):
football team. They don't have enough speed on that football team.
And then continue to haunt him and just look across
at the Miami Dolphins and see the difference.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Why haven't they addressed that? I mean they went out. Look,
they went out and got a very good quarterback.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Okay, but I've heard that team is slow for the
last four or five years. Why haven't they addressed that?
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Yeah? You know, I think for me, Bill Belichick, as
great as he's as a master of a coach, you know,
he's very selfish with the draft he is. I mean
again this year he took what his first three picks
were all defense. Again, he's done that before. I know that.
You know, the year before he might have taken the
kid Cole Strange at the bottom of the first I
know he's taken Mac Jones. If you go through the
(49:53):
years and look at how many picks he puts on
the defense side of the ball, you can see why
they're struggling because he focuses so heavily on that that
side of the ball in terms of getting talent, because
that's his Nate Nate's mindset. And I also think it's
it's tough when you're the general manager and the head
coach and you can't you know, do do people have
enough confidence to walk into Bill Belichick's office and say, hey, look,
(50:16):
you know it's twenty twenty three off season. We are
slow and we've got to do something about it. And
you can build Belchico. You know, you're right, we should
do something about it. And I don't know if Bill
doesn't see it, but they certainly didn't address it by
what they did in terms of adding guys. They added
guy that you know has some size or can run
a little bit, But Mike Casecki's not a fast player,
and Stevens is not really a fast player. Zeke Elliott's
(50:38):
not really a fast player anymore, you know. Kendrick Bourne.
I mean, when you go down the list, it's like
it's pretty obvious to all of us, and yet I
think they're, you know, very comfortable with what they are
and what they've been.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Awesome stuff, Mark, really really good, Thanks so much for
joining us. Here on Doug Otleip Joe, we'll talk to
you next week.

over gentlemen, manager and of course a sky director with
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

interesting we get to this, we get to this place
where things have jumped the shark. I even think the
(00:51):
expression jumped the shark jumped the shark for a long time,
but now.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's super appropriate.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Jumping the shark is a well, I mean, look, I
know what it's from. Let me just ask Jay stew
you know what jumping the term jumping the shark is from?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Correct? I?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay? Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Do you know what where jumping the Shark comes from? Yes, okay, Ramos.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's that's affirmative.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Okay, so we all know. And maybe that shows our age,
doesn't it. I think it shows our age.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I think each of us actually saw the episode when
it aired.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't remember seeing the episode when it aired.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh, okay, I do not. He did, Yeah, I think
John and I did. How about you and Dan might
be all too young.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I don't know, I's too young.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Like we used to watch Happy Days, so Happy Days
and like this is a weird one, right, Like Ron Howard,
who's a famous filmmaker, was the star of a show
called Happy Days, which you may shows if you watch
TV land you may see it on right.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The most famous was Arthur Funds. Really the Funds.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
A a right, But the jumping the Shark episode was
when he was the fun was water skiing and literally
jumped a shark, right, which of course was on the
you know, on the universal set where they have the
shark gauze. Right, it's kind of painfully obvious. The shark
(02:13):
didn't look real, the jump didn't look real, and it
got to the point to where they had obviously run
out of storylines, and the show was effectively over in
regards to being kind of hip, cool.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Or any have any sort of relevance. Is that? Am
I missing anything? Guys?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Uh, you forgot the fact that Fonsi was wearing a
leather jacket.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
He's wearing a leather jacket while jumping the Shark.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
And it aired in nineteen seventy seven, so I think
it totally missed you. And down right yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Was born in seventy six, born in seventy six, But
I mean, you know that show had reared and I
did grow up with cable. I was We were not
a rich kid. But you tell people you grew up
with cable, like whoa Like When I went to California
in eighty one, we had cable, and Cable had Nickelodeon,
and Nickelodeon had repeats of of you know before where
they had nick at night, they would have repeats of
(03:03):
Happy Days on and I think maybe it was on
TBS some as well, or WGN, probably WGN, which that's
how everybody knew. The cubs they were bad, and the
braves also bad.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Not so much now.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But the amazing part about the Jumping the Shark is
I think the expression still holds and people still use
it despite the fact that I would say a high
percentage of people who use jumping the shark have no
idea what jumping the shark is actually known to. Nonetheless,
(03:43):
I feel like the Colorado thing is sort of jumped
the shark, and it has to jump the shark because
they're not eventually going to be very good because I
actually believe what Dion says, like if Shador stays, they're
going to get more quality transfers, They're gonna get a
higher level of player. And you know, I don't think.
(04:07):
I think there's a world there where the Big Twelve
isn't as good as the schedule they have played. Now
they haven't played the meat of the Pac twelve yet,
but they start this weekend, or started last weekend, start
this weekend right this But I don't think the Big
twelve next year and I don't know because so much changes.
But Oregon has a fifth year starting quarterback who started
his career in the sec USC this weekend will have
(04:30):
the number one pick in the draft. Michael Pennix, who
they'll play later on the year, is very likely a
first round draft pick, although he's older as a transfer
quarterback like Washington, Oregon USC to a lesterric extent, Ucla
Utah Like these are big time programs. And again, I
know Utah is going to the Big twelve along with Colorado,
(04:51):
but look around the Big twelve, and as much as
I'm a Big twelve wonk, if we're honest, you know,
the best teams in the Big twelve aren't gonna be
in the Big twelve next year. So there's a world
where Colorado is one of the favorites to win the
Big Twelve next year. A lot has to go right,
but there's a world like that. So when I say
(05:12):
it's Chef the Shark, you're like, oh, that means you
think Colorado football is going to stink.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That's not what I said.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's more the story, the people who are jumping onto
this bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
This you know how it works. I do think it's ironic.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It's like you get people who don't follow college football
who talk about, how, you know, dramatic the changes. We
haven't seen this in college football. When across the field
you look at Lincoln Riley and just last year he
took a down trodden USC program. Granted it's USC, not
not Colorado had been bad for a long period, but
(05:48):
pretty much long period of time, never really been a
dominant program since the early nineties. But the fact is
that USC was bad. USC hires a dynamic head coach,
takes him from another program, brings his quarterback with him,
and USC was awesome last year and this year they're
one of the favorites to reach the College Football Playoff.
(06:09):
So we have seen it a guy flip a program
and do it with a transfer quarterback. And it happened
on the other side of the field where I think
it's jumped. The shark is in the people just wanting
to show up to a game. There's Boulder is amazing.
It's beautiful, it's pristine, very earthy.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You can go on hikes, of course, you can ski.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
There's good bars like but it's and a good portion
of their student body is from California, right who want
to get away to somewhere different to go to school,
but they go to Boulder and it's a lot like
I remember this when I first moved to Orange County.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This is years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
My kids were little, first time I moved out to
Orange County, and you know, during I want to say
February break. They have what's called ski And if you
were going to go to Mammoth you would see half
the families that you that you you know, lived around
in Orange County. And if you went to Hawaii, went
to Hawaii one February, there's everybody else. And that's basically
(07:15):
what Colorado is. Colorado is a bunch of people from
California pretending that they're, you know, all of a sudden
now going to be hikers and very earthy and live
off the land. But this is the ultimate game of
Hangars honors. Please try and get me in a camera
shot fox sort.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Of game like the entire Colorado thing.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And granted, Boulder much more off the beaten path than
La and in the coliseum where you could just go like, well,
you know it's in LA. I want to see a
college football game. So I popped it. But you got
Will Ferrell, you got Snoop Dogg, you got the SC
guys who have been clinging to this SC you know,
SC fandom, and Will Ferrell went there, I believe, but
(07:59):
stooped it not. But of course you know, Stoops, what
you're seeing little Wayne do snip Stoop has done for
years and then of course Colorado's bringing all those people.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, how would you I think.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Jay s dou you had a different way of looking
at it, or maybe a more terse way of looking
at it. Right, trying to think how we how we
described that on radio.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I just think it's going to be a stadium filled
with d bags tomorrow that have the money to afford
to be there, and they're going to be there to
be seen. It'll be like the LA Forum Mountain Mountain time.
I don't know where I was going to that, but yeah,
just go to be seen, not necessarily taking that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
At least what is at the Forum or now it's
at Staples. You know, maybe now at Staples is the
you know, regular season NBA Christmas Day game, Right, that
doesn't mean anything. I mean, this wouldn't mean some USC
they can't lose, but the likelihood of I'm losing the
game is not great. They're three touchdown plus favorites and
Colorado's all banged up. Yeah, it's a game that's not
(09:06):
accepted to me close, but it's gonna be a who's
who of Hey man, can I get in this camera shot?
I guess that Byer, you love going to games as
I do. If somebody say, hey, I'm gonna give you
the weekend off and give you this ticket, or you
can spend it at home with your family, would you
do it?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I would.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
I would probably go. I still think that it is
worth saying. There are certain regrets that I that I
have in my life. You know, I've never been to
a Seahawks home game despite being a fan, and I'm
regretting that I never saw Russell Wilson quarterbacked or a
legion of Boom game there. Like, even if I wanted
(09:49):
to go, you know, at some point this season, it's
still a different feel and I feel like going to
a Colorado game while there is still juice with Colorado
and this Dion start would be a story that you
would tell. No, maybe at the end is you you
know are saying that it is. But I still would
want to go to get that last shot because I
(10:12):
just don't know how much juice is left in that orange.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, and you know last year you're gonna get to
see KYLEB. Williams yeah in college, get.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
A college game.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, and he makes him Wold plays Jase, do any
chance you would go to this game?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
It will take a lot. I'm not as enthusiastic about
being at games as you guys are, but no, if
it was free and I somehow got to fly in
and out, I think there's gonna be a lot of
those people too at the game, by the way, to
go there to see who's there, as opposed to kind
of go to go to see the game. And you
(10:49):
brought up Lil Wayne by the way. Will Wayne made
it into our segment. I think it was two weeks
ago about people that are overexposed that have kind of
over overplayed their hand. And guess who ran out the
Packers last night.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He was he wrapped at the Raiders game on Sunday
night and then he ran out with the Packers. Now
he has been a Packers fan, he does own uh
as you guys know. I went and I was in
Green Bay and last March and they have this cool
area across the street from the stadium called Title Town
and they have these like brand new, I think, like
(11:24):
million dollar town homes. And I was told that Lil
Wayne does oh one that like he is a hardcore
Packers fan, but he was just at he was at
the last Colorado home game, right and he'd led them out,
and then he was at the Raider game rapping and
now he's I just like, yeah, I he I would
(11:47):
overexpose this fair, overexposed his fair, completely fair. And the
crazy part about it is like, I just we all
know what it's going to be, and we're all still
going to watch and maybe that makes us like curmudgeons,
but there's going to be more cutaways and agents texting
(12:10):
people at Fox to make sure I get.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I mean even last time, right like, why was the
Rock there? I get?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think WWE was in Denver and that was when
he's first back in WWE, so it did, in fact
make sense. But the Hangars owners, sideline pass guy who's
got nothing to do with the school and very little
to do deal with Dion and just try to catch
some of that clout. That's what this weekend is going
to be. What's occurring off the field is in many
(12:42):
ways more compelling that would be on the field. And
that's an eye roller right by the way. I just
I told people this yesterday on the show. I don't
know if people caught it. As Jaystu point out, is
that a ten o'clock start time, Yeah, usc actually, and
this is one of the they're getting ready for the
Big ten, but it's also part of their program. They
(13:03):
get up twice week six am and lift even in season.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, that just sounds awful to me. By the way,
six am.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
That means you got to make set your alarm at five,
make sure you don't oversleep, you don't sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But they'll be fine.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Winners, twelve we Gotta five, NFL College five on three
five five for five with Doug Gottlieb, Let's go five
kind are.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Five for five. Let's start in college football.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Clemson's taken on Syracuse and a lot of people are
down on Clemson because the Tigers, well, they lost to
Florida State and they lost to Duke. But if you
remember the Duke game, of course, you know, two block kicks,
two fumbles inside the ten, even the Florida State game
that frankly they had one last week if not for
an untimely turnof for taking on a Syracuse team that Okay,
(14:31):
look they're four to zero on the season, but let
me give you the wins Colgate, Western Michigan, the Burdue
win on the roads a good one, and Army.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Now this is going to be a zoo at the Dome.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And Clemson of course comes in as believe it or not,
a six and a half point favorite. Despite being two
and two, Clemson is a superior roster. Clemson does have
good quarterback play. Clemson, though downtrodden and out of the
national championship race already only in game five of the season.
In Week five of the season, Clemson's gonna win, Clemson's
(15:04):
gonna cover in the Battle of Orange in.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Syracuse, New York.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Colorado's taken on USC and I understand, it's very easy
to be down on USC's defense because at times they've
given up big plays, even to the likes of San
Jose State, not as much to Nevada, who's not particularly good,
or last weekend to Arizona State. But one of the
curious things that happens when you create a buzz, and
there's an absolute buzz about Colorado football that's undeniable, is
(15:34):
you start to get everybody's best shot.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Everyone gets their neck cleaned for this game, but I
mean neck cleaning. You know, you go get to clippers,
get your neck doll cleaned up, use that straight blade
razor to make sure you look good. And when USC
wants to be great, they are Colorado. They're just beaten up.
And look, they probably should have lost to Colorado State.
It wasn't like they were dominant over Nebraska. Nebraska's quarterback
(15:59):
shot himself in the foot, And yes they beat TCU,
but they had to have two timely turnovers in the
red zone by TCU in order to pull off that win. Again,
not trying to diminish what they've been able to do,
considering three and a half was the win total. But
I'm just being realistic. Here they get USC's best shot,
and that's not a good thing. USC's gonna win, US
is gonna cover now. As for the seventy three.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Man, that's a big total.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's a big, big total, especially considering the altitude that
does become a factor and the fact that USC, if
they get an early lead, a little bit like Oregon,
even though organ said they weren't taking the foot off
their gas, they will.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I like USC and the under.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
The total right now is seventy three and the line
is twenty one and a half. It drops below twenty one,
then just go crazy on USC. But I really like
USC and the under. Kansas State's on Texas and KU
continues to have just a remarkable, remarkable year under Lance Leopold,
who last year rose them prominence, and they brought back
(17:01):
a good portion of the team this year and are
healthier at quarterback. There four and oh they're taking on
Texas on the road. The total is sixty one and
a half and the lion is sixteen and a half
in favor of Texas. And remember this a Kansas team
that beat a good BYU team. They also beat Illinois
earlier this year, so it's not like they've played all
(17:23):
you know, rummy competition to this point. On the other hand,
Texas is just playing on a different level. They going
to Baylor, who's not great this year, beat them thirty
eight to six.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Wasn't competitive.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
They had Alabama's defensive backfield completely and totally lost. Yes,
you could you could wonder about how excited they are
about taking on taking on Kansas when Oklahoma is next weekend.
That's the dreaded look ahead game. But I just think
this team feels like they're wired a little bit different.
(17:56):
I like Texas to cover that gigantic spread against four
n oh Kansas. Okay, here's a curious one, right Iowa.
Brian Farrens is their offensive coordinator, and you know he's
got a what average twenty five a game and they
got to win seven games and last weekend they had
four first downs. But they're traveling home to take on
(18:18):
Michigan State. And Michigan State since Miltucker was first suspended
and then fired, they were beaten forty one to seven
and thirty one to nine. Those were both home games.
Now they're on the road. Meltucker's officially out. And remember
remember that the way in which the rules work with
the transfer portal is These players now have I believe
(18:39):
a month to decide whether or not they want to
put themselves in the portal. And you might ask yourself, okay,
but why do it now or why not play now
when you're.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Already committed to the season.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
The rules are such if you play four games or less,
that can become your red shirt year.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It doesn't even count.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I don't know how many of the best players from
Michigan State play this weekend or what their motivation is.
As for Iowa, I mean, the motivation for the coaching
staff is obvious, and the motivation for the team couldn't
be more obvious as well as they could still get
another shot because they don't play Ohio State this year.
They don't play Michigan this year. They played Purdue, they
played Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers, Illinois, Nebraska, all games they
(19:19):
could win. Motivated to do so eleven and a half
point line, give me the Hawkeyes to cover the eleven
and a half point spread and to help get Brian
Farrens closer to that average that he needs an Old
SEC matchup now in excuse me, an Old Southwest Conference
matchup now in the sec. Texas A and M is
staying on Arkansas and the Hogs are coming off two
(19:42):
really difficult losses, close losses, one to BYU at home
and last weekend at LSU and the taken on Texas
A and M. And Texas A and M lost their
starting quarterback. But Max Johnson returns. Remember Max Johnson, his dad,
Brad Johnson, was quarterback for Tampa, and of course Max
started his career at LSU and ends up at tex
A and M. And last year he was pretty good
(20:04):
when he came in as a backup. Now he gets
another chance to be the starter.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's his team.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
This is a really talent text A and M team,
and I'm not sure Max Johnson is a bad option
at all. Yes, they lost to Florida. There were some
calls that didn't go their way and didn't play as
well as probably they should have. But you go back
and look at the film and there was a couple
of fifty to fifty plays they just did not get
the calls and didn't make some plays did last weekend
against Auburn, I mean Auburn needed a crazy play even
(20:30):
to score ten points. The defense is dominant and the
offense will be better fifty three and a half. I
like the under, and I like A and M to
cover the under, and A and M to cover.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Let's get to the NFL picks.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Let's start with the game being played overseas as at
Wembley Stadium. Jacksonville is going to take on Atlanta early
in the morning. Jacksonville coming off a couple of losses,
obviously to the Chiefs and then and a disappointing one
to Houston last week. Now they take on Atlanta, who's
a surprising two and one behind a young star running back,
and they have some good talent. I like Jacksonville in
(21:09):
this jackson obviously used to playing games overseas, Jacksonville is
better than how they've played. And what do you always
hear about the NFL? Right if you don't like how
your team played, wait a week, maybe it's two weeks.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
But Jacksonville wins. They cover the three point line.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Rumblings out of Cleveland about the possibility that Deshaun Watson
doesn't play because of injury. The line right now, the
line right now is the Ravens are a one point
dog in Cleveland. So you may ask yourself self, who
is the backup quarterback to Deshaun Watson in Cleveland if
(21:47):
he doesn't play. The answer is DTR Dorian Thompson Robinson,
who's a four year starter at UCLA and a good
athlete and a good college quarterback. And you could say
that there's some actual to how Deshaun Watson used to
play running the football. And yes, the Baltimore Ravens are
completely banged up and they lost at home after having
(22:08):
a big lead to the Indianapolis Colts. That said, you
take Deshaun Watson off of this team and they don't
have Nick Chubb, and I don't like Cleveland at home.
Give me Baltimore knowing that there's a strong possibility that
Cleveland's not starting not starting Deshaun Watson at quarterback. San
(22:29):
Francisco forty nineers Welcome in the airson A Cardinals. Cardinals
have played well in all three games, and they were
awesome last weekend to beat the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys didn't
have three starting linemen as well as obviously not having
Digs in their defensive backfield. San Francisco forty nine ers
out for Blood. Out for blood in San Francisco, a
fourteen point line, perfect weather, This will be a monstrous
(22:52):
blowout win for the San Francisco forty nine ers. Give
me the Niners and that massive, massive spread. Chargers take
on the Raidest And as much as it will be
a Raider home game in LA, it hasn't bothered the
Chargers when they played in LA against the Raiders at
all times. And the Chargers no their in need of
(23:13):
a home win. Now, they did lose Mike Williams to injury,
but outside of that relatively clean Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo was
kind of a mess, right and he may not play,
and then it would be Brian Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell.
I just look at the Raiders and I don't think
they're very good. I don't obviously, you know, you got
(23:33):
one great rush in, but the defense isn't particularly good.
And I think the Chargers are far better talent wise.
And as much as there have been calls in the
question of Brandon Staley, you can say the same thing
about Josh mcdainers. Give me the Chargers and the five
point line. The Broncos take on the Bears. This one's
in Chicago, and obviously both teams should be embarrassed by
(23:56):
their performances last weekend. But I gotta tell you, I
without the starting left tackle with Chicago throwing justin fields
back out there. I know that Russell Wilson isn't the
same guy he used to be, but he's got to
be better than the guy that we've seen and that
quit that white flag that was waived in Denver. This
is one of those if you don't get it right,
everybody's gonna lose their job. I think the Broncos bo
(24:17):
up mounts back there three and a half point favorites.
Give me the Broncos on the road. Little bonus pick
for you here in the bonus Kans City Chiefs, you
got to take the power of Taylor Swift. No, I'm
not going to annoy Jason Stewart with the Taylor Swift mentioned.
I just I don't see the Jets being able to
score and the Kansas City Chiefs can score and they
(24:39):
have Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs do not. I mean,
then the Jets do not. They're nine point favorites. This
is an easy win for Kansas City. Protect Pat Mahomes,
get rid of the football and just play solid defense.
They will Chiefs win. Chiefs all cover all right, that's
it for our five for five here on the Doug
Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Five there it is five NFL five College five for
five with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Boo Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. And
we bring him to you every week because he's the best.
Bear Bets is the podcast. Of course, you can see
him on Big Noon Kickoff. They will be at USC
Colorado in Boulder yet again, and Chris Filka joins us
now on the Doug Gotlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I want to get to your bear Bets of the week.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
But let's talk about the game that Colorado has been
the highest rated in terms of TV ratings we've seen
the last I think two games they've played, and again
based upon what you read on social media, the handle
on Colorado Colorado games has been gigantic. They're once again
a three touchdown underdog, this time at home against USC.
(25:47):
Still won't have Travis Hunter, we don't know about Shiloh Sanders.
What are your thoughts on the twenty one point line
or the seventy three point total.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Seventy three spiels feel kind of high saw last week
and I know Oregon's defense is better than SC's, but
if if Hunter is not out there, and I've heard
some rumblings that we may not be able to We
were hurt his ankle light in that Oregon game last week.
I've heard he may be out as well, so that
(26:17):
that that would really limit what Colorado can do on offense,
even against an SC defense which is giving up some plays.
And look, I think they kind of sluck walked last
week in Kemp against the Sun Devils, and I think
this is an opportunity. And we talked about this earlier
at the start of the year, like typically when you
get kind of a mediocre to the subpar team, you're
(26:41):
not necessarily getting a team's best shot every week. Like
the big game teams are kind of just kind of
sliding through it is looking to get out with a win.
But because it's Keion Sanders and because of all the
hype and the social media and the ratings and and everything, like,
they are going to get everybody's best shot. I would
be surprised if that seed did not come in here
tomorrow and put up a big number on offense, especially
(27:03):
after kind of going through the motions last year. Left
week and not looking so great, So I would be
inclined to lay the twenty one and look at an
FC team total over. I know that number has kind
of come down a little bit this week. I think
it opened it twenty four or somewhere around there, and
now it's not twenty one. So could be an opportunity
here to buy a little low on the truchans.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And I'll give you a little little inside tip, but
you can't. This is for your segment, not for everybody
else's segment. That if you get the body clock, oh bodyclock,
it's early start time. USC lives twice a week at
six in the morning, and they feel like bodyclock shouldn't
be an issue issue for their guys, so they've prepared
for this all off season and regular season long. Let's
(27:46):
get to the Big twelve, which is kind of calling
itself the Big twelve, but this is an old Southwest
Conference matchup. Houston a disappointing two and two against Texas Tech,
who lost their starting quarterback for the years to close
one at West Virginia after you went down, but they
found ways to lose. You know, could have beaten Oregon
at home, had Wyoming and then there's a two and
(28:08):
a half hour delay, and then they lose at West
Virginia after Shure goes down with the broken ankle. What
are your thoughts at home at home in Lubbock as
what I'm seeing as an eight and a half point
favorite in the total of fifty two.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
You never know exactly what you're going to get from
a Denier holders and coach team. I mean, they're usually
a wide arrange array of outcomes you can get front
of anything. Taking on Tech here, a team that he's
kind of familiar with, and then Bene Soocia, who's been
around for a while. Donovan Smith, the Euston quarterback, was
it Tech last year, So I think that certainly comes
(28:43):
into play as well. He certainly won't want to go
out and prove that he can play. And again, the
Tech quarterback situation worries me a little bit. I think
there are more in the backup dings shoulder, I think
in that game last week as well, so he may
not be one hundred percent. If he's limited, then then
who the hell knows what Tech will do with quarterbacks.
(29:04):
So I think getting the eight and a half points
with Houston here despite getting drilled at TCU. I think
that feels like the right play. I just don't know
how good this tech offense is going to be without
Shucking everything. The only time they look like a real
functional offense was with Shuck running, and without him out there,
I think they're going to struggle. So give me, give
(29:25):
me the Kuchris plus eight math.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Oldest rivalry in the South is Georgia taking on Auburn.
They head down the Planes Dogs are fourteen a half
point favorites. Low total though at forty five. What are
your thoughts on Georgia Auburn.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I like the Auburn team total under fifteen and a half.
If you go back to twenty seventeen season, Auburn won
the regular season meeting and then Georgia completely annihilated them
in the SEC title game. The six games, Auburn has
scored ten, ten, six, fourteen, ten and seven in those games.
And if you look at what Auburn's offense has done
(29:57):
this year in the two Power Five games, they play again,
Thing and M and Cal two hundred and thirty yards
two hundred yards three and a half yards to play,
two offensive touchdowns and one of them came on a
seventeen yard drive. So it is clear that Auburn is
really struggling, not only at the quarterback position, but at
the offensive line as well. He's rotated for and ash
(30:19):
for it in like they really don't have a chance
right now on offense. So I found anuder fifteen and
a half. It's a team total to be very attractive.
If it's fourteen and a half, I think still take
that as well, but it's just based on how Auburn
has really struggled against this team since Georgia has become
the national power that they are.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I forgot to get into it because we started with
sc and Colorado. But tonight big game in the pack
as you have Utah four to zero dominant upfront taking
on Oregon State. We don't know about Utah cam rising
situation and of course Oregon State and DJA adalle but
coming off of their first loss of the year at
the Police, returning home playing in Core Vallas, the Beaves
(30:58):
are a four point favorite and the total is forty four.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Well, you can interpret the line move however you would like.
This game has moved from I think three three and
a half to four and a half in last twenty
four hours. So my sense is I don't think we
can expect Rising to play. I kind of think like
maybe the bye week next week has been a kind
(31:22):
of an internal kind of mark all along to get
him back out there. So I think the backup's going
to be out there again tonight, and I think in
Corvallis that's going to be a rough go. I think
it's going to be a very low scoring kind of game.
I saw Utah team total at twenty and a half.
That was what I thought was the most appealing bet
(31:43):
out there because I think they will struggle to run
the ball against the Beavers and it's going to be
up to the backup to to see what he can do.
So I would kind of look at maybe Oregon State
money line being at the line being that to move
north of the field goal and a Utah team total unders.
That's those are the two things I'm looking at to
that big, big game for Oregon State coming back off
(32:06):
that loss, and then he dj to do well and
maybe they maybe they even look at maybe bringing in
Charles for a little change of pace as well, because
it looks like Angele has kind of been pressed in
the last couple of weeks. He started off the first
couple weeks really good. In the last couple of weeks,
whether it's been film or whatever, he's kind of taking
a little bit of a step back. So so maybe
they maybe they're bringing Charles to give a little bit
of a change of pace against what is a really
(32:27):
good Utah defense.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Christ Luka joining us of course. He's the gambling expert
and analyst for Big newon Kickoff. He also has his
own podcast called bear Betts. He joins in the Doug
Gottlieb Choke here on Fox Sports Radio. Give Me, Give
Me a bonus. One kind of off the beaten path.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Picked for this weekend.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
It's a big weekend in the Sun Belt. There's some
really good Sunbolt game. Troy Georgia State is probably the
best of the games. Georgia State's four to Oh they
just be Coastal Carolina by double digits at Coastal Carolina
and now you're home against Troy and the line's only one.
It seems like a very strange line to have a
(33:04):
four and zero team up a big win at home
and you're only a one point favorite against Troy. And
that's before you kind of dive into how good the
Troy defense has been and how good Troy has been
under John Somerl the head coach, and these kind of
toss up type games where the spreads within a field
goal kind of either way. Like he's been involved in
(33:25):
six of him and they've won five out right, So
like he's a really good coach who coached defense under
Mark Stups Kentucky. I have a ton of respect for him.
There wouldn't surprise me at all if see Troy go
on the road and that defense travels them to get
a win against Orgia State.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Awesome stuff. Chris, thanks so much for joining us.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. So Zach Wilson's going
to get another shot to start for the Jets, of
course they're taking out of the Kansas City Chiefs this
upcoming weekend at home.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Not sure if.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You're aware, but Travis Kelcey is going to have a
special guest, Taylor someone named Taylor Swift joking. But the
big news in New York is not that Taylor Shift
is going to a Jets game. It's that Zach Wilson's
going to get another chance to start. And he said
this about the criticism he's heard from legendary former Jets
(34:42):
quarterback Joe Namath.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
And he's passionate.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
He obviously was one of the greats, and so that
says an offense, we got to do everything we can
just to try and prove them on and keep doing
what we can and improve. I think the guys are
feeling very optimistic. You know, we all believe in each other.
We're all right there, so excited for this week. Obviously,
Joe was an unbelievable player, but this locker is very
tight knit and we're working to get better. I'm working
to get better. I know I need to improve, and
(35:04):
I promise I'm doing everything I can to keep trying
to get better. And so the focus is just to
rely on each other in this locker room and lean
on each other because that's all we got at the
end of the day, and we're going to do everything
we can to keep improving.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Listen, all those are great answers and probably could have
used those answers last year when it was bad. But
at some point the play has to improve.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Last year it was about the play, but also about
kind of the persona and the answers, if you will.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
This year it's just about the fact that they're not
very good with him at quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
And the crazy part is that we didn't really get
a chance to see Aaron Rodgers. And even though the
skill positions skill vision players are really good and with
Aaron Rodgers you would think the line thinks, So we
don't even know if they would have been good of
Aaron Rodgers was there, but nothing was. Zach Wilson's answers
(36:01):
problem is at some point it's not about what you say,
it's about what you do, and he just hasn't done
enough to silence those critics. That sounds bad, Dan, It
sounds like bad bad for Shadow.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
Yeah, it was even worse than it sounds. He was
not good.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, what do you attest it? To other than the
fact that they were.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Better than US.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
I think, yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
I think it's it is difficult to win on foreign soil.
It's why it hasn't happened in thirty years for the Americans.
Some questions on the matchups that were sent out especially early.
No Brooks Koepka, No Justin Thomas Jordan Speeth in the
first sessions, and the US lost that for nothing. So
that's where that's where Zach Johnson is under the microscope.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
All Right, Mark Dominic joins us.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
He spent twenty years in NFL front offices and scouting,
former general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Mark
joins just on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
All Right, let's start in Miami last weekend. Have you
ever seen anything like what happened to Denver?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
It's been a long time. I mean I literally was
watched the game and never thought I'd see seventy and
it was just impressive and it was just explosion playoffs,
explosion play and there's nothing the Broncos could do about it.
And it just shows you the amount of speed, but
also that system that they take from Shanahan that you know,
Kyle's having success right now in San Francisco. Obviously he's
done success in Miami. And it's you know, when you've
(37:28):
got talented players in a quarterback, they could stay on
the field. But I didn't expect seventy. There's no way
I could thought of that.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
How much of it is Denver quitting?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I mean, like, look, you give up that many yards
on the ground in the third and fourth quarter. At
some point, at some point, it comes down to your competitiveness.
And I just know, I got to think that has
to have something.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
To do with it.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Oh, I think it does. I mean, look, this is,
you know, as tough as it gets, you know. You know,
Sean Payton was right before the season was talking bad
about Nathaniel Hackett and what was wrong with Denver Broncos,
you know, and how bad it was. And then it
turns around in Denver lets the team put seventy on them.
It's a bad look. And I agree. Sometimes when you
(38:15):
get to these kind of games, players at that point
start to think about their bodies. They start to think
about that I don't want to end up this game's over,
I don't want to get hurt, and more and more
bad plays happened because of it. I think that's what
happened is that players started to be a little more
selfish in that situation and say, hey, this thing's out
of reach, I just don't want to get hurt, and
therefore they don't play to the same level. And that's
what happened to this game.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Well what about Miami.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
They go to they go to Buffalo this weekend and obviously,
you know, I think people on many levels though Sean McDermott,
you know, cut his teeth as a defensive coordinator. Philadelphia
didn't work out great replacing Jim Johnson, and of course
in Carolina did they went to Super Bowl. Now he's
taken over defensive playing calling duties for his own team
this year. How does their defense match up with what
(38:57):
Miami likes to do?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Pretty good? I mean they've got you know, I think
that they've got some things that are happening on their
defense this year that you number one, that they're healthy
right now, which is obviously a big piece of any puzzle.
But I think they are a faster defense they were
even a year ago. And I think that's what you
when you're playing the Dolphins, you have to be and
one of those guys I think is Terrell Binard. He's
the second year player, is still going to pick up
for them last year. He's come in there and played
really fast, athletic, you know, kind of the mic linebacker,
(39:22):
but can really run and side by the sideline. And
he's been helpful as we saw it even last week,
right you got Defensive Player of the Week by his
production line. I think that's part of it. The other
part is, you know, is you know, I think again
on the back end, I think they're pretty good. But
you obviously you've got Tredavious White. They got some experience
back there with homegoing guys that have been in their
system for one, two, three, four, five, six years and
(39:45):
I think that's been important too. So they play good.
Now do they match up great? I don't think anybody
in the NFL can match up really good against the
healthy Waddle and healthy Hill. And that's going to be
a problem for anybody because you've got to decide whether
you're going to take away the deep ball like Bill
Parcells did, Bill Belichick did, or you're gonna have to
decide if you're going to you know, stop stop the
run and or stop the deep ball and give up
(40:08):
some of the run. And I think that's what you
got to decide which it is. And it didn't work
for Belichick to say, hey, look, you know i'm gonna
take this part away. I'll take away the deep ball,
and you still lose. So it's a tricky Dolphins team.
Their offensive lines played pretty good. I don't love the
matchup for the Buffalo Bills, but I had the Bills
the Super Bowl prior to the season starting. I'm not
going to come off from now.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Mark Dominic join US coach former general manager of Tampay
Buccaneers Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's
get to the Chargers and last weekend, I was told
that the Chargers are all on board, like front office
on board with going for it own twenty four fourth
in less than the yard. You know they fall back
(40:50):
on hey, conversion rate seventy five percent. We get that,
we win the game, They hold on to win their
first win of the season. What were you thinking when
you saw it?
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah, I thought it was a good call, obviously, But
the Charges, like we talked about last week, I thought
this game was much more critical for the Chargers to
get to one and two than it is the Vikings
to get to one and two. And that's because that
AFC is going to be a battle all the way
to the end, and you've got to start getting on
the wing call. And so I think the Chargers looked
at it's like, look, we've got to figure out how
to make this happen. And you know, he's certainly coach
(41:19):
Dailey's certainly been very aggressive throughout his stay there and
didn't change and I think that I guess it's not
a surprise because of how they've decided to play the
analytics portion of it, but they've been consistent doing that
all all.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Mark Dominicks is our guest here on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Okay,
so they take on the Raiders, who feel like a
bit of a mess, like Garoppolo's interceptions were bad, and
then I don't know how you kick a field goal
they're down eight.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Did you understand why they kick a field goal down eight?
Speaker 3 (41:49):
No? Not really. I don't love that kind of mindset either.
I think it's one of those things where you're you're like,
what's the point at that point? Neither you've got you're
not gonna I know, you're thinking you can score twice
or whatever it's going to be, but you know there's
huments to go in the game. You know, you know
it's not a great down and distance that you love,
but you know he's still gonna want to get the
ball back and have to score. I don't love it.
(42:11):
I mean, I don't know how I was to say it,
you know, but the problem was it was what fourth
and seven, and they were worried they couldn't make it,
and I thought they would go for it, and clearly
that didn't work out. And so you know, it's a
surprise for me the way that they played that game.
But I you know, I still think when you look
at the Pittsburgh Steelers, you look at the Raiders, Pittsburgh
(42:32):
was found a way to win that game, and sad
for the Raiders, Jimmy Garoppolo and not only looked bad
in terms of making those turnovers, but he looked bad
because I think he was already in the concussion situation
where now he's in the concussion protocol. It doesn't look
like he's going to play this week, No.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
It doesn't.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Deshaun Watson may not play this week for Cleveland they're
going to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously the Ravens
have some injury and issues, but what do you think
of their collapse last weekend at a home against the
Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Yeah, it's surprising there too. I mean obviously, you know
all along I thought, actually, Gardner, bitch, you might start
the season. It's nice to have a guy that can
go in there and win games for you when you're
needing to win. But yeah, I thought, this is a
game where you know, I think last week and kind
of prove that you just talked about a field goal.
You know, it was important for the Colts. They were
five for five on field goals and Tucker missed one.
I mean, this is a game where you know, last week,
(43:24):
what was it the Saints of the Packers, where the
same t had a chance to win the game and
miss the field goal, And so kickers still are a
big part of it. To me, this is where the
Ravens bent and didn't break. But the Colts never missed
a field goal and went five for five and you know,
those points start to rack up against a Ravens team
that you know still is trying to find the run. Game.
I think Gusadra is doing a good job, but you know,
(43:45):
they just always get banged up once one guy goes down.
That running back room in the Ravens, it's a bizarre
group of guys that can't seem to something to stand
up and stay healthy for him once somebody else goes down.
So it's going to be really important. I have Gus
Edwards out there. I do think he's a number one back. Then, well,
he just got stay healthy and I think that they
can rely on having guts out there the entire time.
This Ravens team will win those games. If they lost
(44:06):
this last week. But you know, Gay made some big ones, right.
He made three kicks over fifty yards and that's a
huge deal, and that's how they won this game.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
What's your evaluation of Jared Goff?
Speaker 3 (44:18):
You know he's building on what he did last year, right,
and then I think that's the most exciting thing. You
can sit there and safe. You're a Denver, a Detroit
Lions fan, is you know that he's played very consistent,
he's played very smart, and you know he's been able
to put this team in great situations to win ball games.
And even though you know last night was his best performance, No,
(44:38):
but wasn't good enough to make sure that they won
the game. They ran the ball preak right, David Montgomery,
you know, he turned around handed off. I think the
Sam Laporter guy has been a really big find for them,
you know, in terms of the draft and what the
impact he's having for them, Unlike any of the other
tight ends that were drafted as how to me, Sam
Laport's come out as you know, a really great draft
tight end class, and he's the guy that's really kind
(44:59):
of impacted his football team right off the bat. Not
Luke mus Grave, even though I think Muskrave is going
to be a great or craft you know, not Kincaid,
but it's been Laporta And I think when you have
that fact that you trust and you can run the
ball effectively, and he'll have gibs also in the passing game,
I think it all works together that allows Jared Golf
to be in that top twenty, top fifteen, maybe even
(45:21):
type of quarterback. And if you've got that, you got
a chance.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
So when you hear poor Man's Matt Ryan, I kind
of think Ryan Fitzpatrick mailed it.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
What do you.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
Think he could be? Matt Ryan. I don't even know
if he's a poor man's Matt Ryan, because it's not
like and I love Matt Ryan and he's going to
get a Hall of Fame jacket. But know Matt Ryan
didn't end up with any Super bowlings either and then
had a lot of success. I feel like Jared Golf
has kind of grown into or I think he is
kind of Matt Ryan, where every week you have a
chance to win. He may not be the best quarterback
in your division because that was Drew Brees, but he's
(45:51):
good enough to put you in every game every week.
And that's Jared Golf and I think that's where he's become.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
It's a great point. My thing was.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
I get that the or man's is probably what set
him off or sets people off, but it's like when
they're being compared to Matt Ryan become a bad thing.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
I don't know, I disagree. I mean again, hall of
Fame jacket's going to be on him at some point
in some point soon, and I agree Matt Ryan couldn't
quite ever have the right luck or the right play,
call it the right pass protection win that Super Bowl,
but he deserved one because he's.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
He was a Warrior, What do you think the Bears
should do?
Speaker 3 (46:24):
You know, we talked about this last week about justin fields,
and obviously, you know the concerns are there, and then
the concerns continue to show up, and I think the
Bears just play the season out and if they have to,
you know, call it, call it what it is. If
it's not there, you know the Bears are going to
have to go back to the drawing board and redraft
it up. In a class that next year is going
to be is We're going to talk about it more
(46:46):
and more as we keep going, but that's going to
be a really good class quarterbacks. I think for some
of these guys that are going to make a decision
to come out and how they're playing, it's going to
be a great quarterback class. So if there's a year
where you have to sit there and say, hey, look
we've given us the time, we've made our decision, we're
moving on, and then they'll have to move on. But
I mean, at this point, you've made your bed if
to get sleep in it, and it's going to be
a long season. I don't think the Bears worked themselves
(47:08):
out of this. I just don't think that they're overall
a good enough football team, and I think there was
a lot of hype and again even preseason, I think
we were talking and I said, I don't think he's
going to make the jump to that just lost fields
Jalen Hurts made last year. I just never saw that,
and you know right now, sadly you're not seeing it.
And I think they've got to get back to doing
(47:29):
something right. And that's when I was with coach Dungee
at the Bucks early in my career. Coach Dungee always said,
do less, do it better, and I think that's where
the Bears got to kind of tighten things down and
make sure they can do fundamental stuff good enough. And
may that be games where you lose eighteen to fourteen, yes,
but you got to start getting some confidence within that offense,
within that team, and that's doing less and doing it right.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Doug out let me show here on Fox Sports Radio.
That's the voice of Mark Dominic. Of course as a
former gentle manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Mark,
I'm super interested, okay in the Patriots and Mac Jones.
It seems to be like a reputation thing here where
I don't know, like I thought, he's played pretty well
first couple of weeks of the season. But you hear,
(48:16):
you know, bits and pieces and sniping last year is
about the coordinator. It's always been about, you know, is
he a dirty player? What do you hear about Mac
Jones as the starting quarterback of the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
Yeah, I don't think he's a dirty player. I know
that that they come across very well with sost Carter
by any chance. But you know, this is the thing
talked about the Patriots and we've talked about it too.
They're not explosive and they're not going to score points.
They just don't have those type of players in their
football team. They've got a lot of guys that you know,
have had opportunities. But there's a reason why the Patriots
are averages what seventeen points a game, just over seventeen
(48:50):
points a game, and I think that's going to be
the norm. You know, I don't think this Patriots team
is going to go out there and blow away teams.
And I think that's because Mac Jones is a good
football player, but he is not exceptional and I don't
think they've surrounded him with exceptional talent. And then I
think those two things combined are going to keep this
Patriots team down so that everybody can sider around and
look at it and go, what's wrong with Mac Jalones?
What's wrong with the saw? It's the speed on that
(49:12):
football team. They don't have enough speed on that football team.
And then continue to haunt him and just look across
at the Miami Dolphins and see the difference.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Why haven't they addressed that? I mean they went out. Look,
they went out and got a very good quarterback.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Okay, but I've heard that team is slow for the
last four or five years. Why haven't they addressed that?
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Yeah? You know, I think for me, Bill Belichick, as
great as he's as a master of a coach, you know,
he's very selfish with the draft he is. I mean
again this year he took what his first three picks
were all defense. Again, he's done that before. I know that.
You know, the year before he might have taken the
kid Cole Strange at the bottom of the first I
know he's taken Mac Jones. If you go through the
(49:53):
years and look at how many picks he puts on
the defense side of the ball, you can see why
they're struggling because he focuses so heavily on that that
side of the ball in terms of getting talent, because
that's his Nate Nate's mindset. And I also think it's
it's tough when you're the general manager and the head
coach and you can't you know, do do people have
enough confidence to walk into Bill Belichick's office and say, hey, look,
(50:16):
you know it's twenty twenty three off season. We are
slow and we've got to do something about it. And
you can build Belchico. You know, you're right, we should
do something about it. And I don't know if Bill
doesn't see it, but they certainly didn't address it by
what they did in terms of adding guys. They added
guy that you know has some size or can run
a little bit, But Mike Casecki's not a fast player,
and Stevens is not really a fast player. Zeke Elliott's
(50:38):
not really a fast player anymore, you know. Kendrick Bourne.
I mean, when you go down the list, it's like
it's pretty obvious to all of us, and yet I
think they're, you know, very comfortable with what they are
and what they've been.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Awesome stuff, Mark, really really good, Thanks so much for
joining us. Here on Doug Otleip Joe, we'll talk to
