Lamar Mitchell bet MGM, director of Training, will do that
we'll also do the NFL pigskin pickoff and last call.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So we got a lot, oh yeah, to get to.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
In this third hour of the odd Couple on a
funky flashback Friday, and we're at two innings now yep,
one nothing, Dodgers and plays being made, all kinds of stuff.
So what part didn't you understand? So Blake Snell, So
there was a ball hit to Freddie Freeman. He throws
it to Blake Snell to try to get the third
out of the inning. There's a runner on first who's
(01:54):
running the second base right. He tries to tag the
bag first. He misses, so it's obvious that he doesn't touch.
That was what I was saying. I saw that he missed.
Used the week we I didn't know that he knew.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He knows.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
He I mean, what you're feeling for the bag and
you put your foot down.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
He knows he didn't touch the back. He threw a
laser in to get that the third picture.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Sometimes they can pitch it hit a fly fring flying
across that bag, but throwing to a base sometimes it
can be rocky.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So that was a nice throw.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Then, uh right there, all right, The commissioner. Now, I
don't understand did he did he speak to the media
before the game. He's at the Knick Celtics game, doing
like a report like.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
This is the first game on Prime this doubleheader, you
got going here Boston, New York. You York got by
twenty points by the way early the third quarter, and
so he made a point to be in the building.
This is a big deal. And credit to him for
allowing himself to be questioned about what's going on with
the Terry Rogier situation, right because one of the big
(03:03):
storylines come out of yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Was how did y'all investigating?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
How did y'all investigate it clear him and allow him
to play when the FBI's like na son, not only
has he not been.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Playing, he's going to be arrested. I'm going to be here.
So it's a little bit long.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Is about a minute thirty, But here's the exchange between
Cassidy Hubberth and Commissioner Adam Silver on Prime Video.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And Terry Rogier was allowed to keep playing after an
MBA investigation ruled that there.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Was no NBA rules violated.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
What do you make of that decision?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Amid the FBI's allegations against him.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
So what happened was because bets were placed through legalized,
legal betting companies.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
You're saying, they picked up.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Operational behavior around a particular game in March of twenty three,
and so that was brought to our attention by the
regulators and betting companies. We then looked into that situation and.
Speaker 8 (04:03):
Had very transparent about it.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
And while there was that aberrational betting, we frankly couldn't
find anything. Terry at the time cooperated. He gave the
League office his phone, he sat down for an interview,
and we ultimately concluded that there was insufficient evidence despite
that operational behavior to move forward. We then worked directly
with the law of law enforcement. As they said that
(04:28):
the press conference that the League has been cooperating, and
so that was obviously over two years ago. So the
federal government has subpoena power and threatened to put people
in jail, can do all kinds of things that a
League office can't do. So we've been working with them
since then. And of course what they announced yesterday was
an indictment. So two and a half years later, he
(04:50):
still hasn't been convicted of anything. In fairness to Terry,
he doesn't look good. But he's now been put on
administrative league and so know there's a balance here of
protecting people's rights and investigating. And as I said, we've
been working with the government and they have extraordinary powers
that a league office doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Mister Commissioner, please don't detail what the story. We already
know what happened and all that. He didn't give us
an answer, He just recounted what what the breakdown.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Of the story?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Rod.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
First of all, what happened was? I mean when he
hit me with the what happened was? It's what I knew.
Only one thing I got from that, because to your point,
he literally gave us the article. He gave us the article.
He didn't he didn't say like, you know, like we
messed up or we missed it, or maybe something. You know,
there's some things we can't I don't know something say something.
The only thing I got from that that I will
(05:42):
say is that the FBI does have subpoena power. And
the only reason why that matters to me is because
I have the power to say, well, I'm making you
come down and testify, okay, Whereas if NBA calls you
and you just say, hey, I don't want to speak, right,
I don't remember you can. They can't do anything they can.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Kelvin, you are you are giving them a pass. No,
that's just the only thing.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's a fact.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That the.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Only thing I agree.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
When you sign a contract with a league, you give
over your rights.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I'm not talking about the players. No, No, I'm talking
about people nobody, if not me, the player like Kelvin
Washing the play. But you're my barber and we've been talking.
I can subpoena you, barber. The league can't. It's all
I'm saying, not the player. I want you to Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Tom Brady refused to cooperate with the NFL, refuse to
give us for destroyed its for.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
What happened, he got suspended for four games.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, you get you don't get due It's not due process,
it's not illegal.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You're not the law of the land.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We've seen guys get suspended for going to strip clubs.
All I'm saying is when when they originally called Adam
Silver said there's some irregularity, blah blah blah, he could
have taken more action. The whole idea that he needed subpoena.
That's why they weren't able to do anything that that's
not so.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I'm just saying he's using the Only thing I'm saying
is I'm poena. But he takes you to another level.
If Terry's giving me his phone, Terry's done it, you know.
And then but we're like, man, we need to talk
to person X in person excess. I'm good, you don't
have to to you know what I'm saying. The NBA
can't do anything. FBIAN can say, hey, we need to
talk to you and if you and if you don't,
(07:29):
you'll be subpoena.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
That is a game. That is a much different thing.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
NBA can do whatever the subpoena though, No, but they
don't need the subpoena.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Well, I'm saying more information. If I subpoena you, I'm
not making it up. You're his barber who might be
in the mix of this, or so I'm making it up.
And you go, hey, Barbara, CNBA, we would like talk
to you more about Terry Vigier. I don't have anything
to say. We know we were just like, ye don't
have anything other white chemar. The n FBI can say
we're bringing you down subpoena and you got to answer
these questions on on the.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
League suspensions and all. I just gave you to Tom Brady.
Thing you can do because you signed to be a
part of that league and you go by their by laws.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Where NFL with you on that right.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But I'm just saying that, like to just say that
because they don't have subpoena power is the reason why
they didn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I don't buy that. I don't buy. I don't buy
I believe.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I don't buy that that they took an easy route
that let me get let's get.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
To our topic. I do want to get to this
really because we'll be here all night. But I did
want to play that because I didn't hear anything from
the commissioner. You did not, It was Rob g. I
think your first reaction was the right one. But but
I just thought we had heard.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
But had we had to hear from the man who's
hit spearheading the league that's under a bunch of fire.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
To nothing Dodgers. Now, who's got who got that hit? Well? Smith?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, okay, all right to nothing Dodgers running around. Second,
let's go here. Uh, the question is what all the
stuff that's going on, the gambling or whatever. I think
think this is the worst time ever to be a
sports fan, especially NBA.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I really do break it down.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I think this is if you're a sports fan and
you love the NBA, there's nothing worse than the current
NBA and the current scenario and circumstance that you're faced
right now. And here are the reasons why. Kelvin style
of play, all the threes, all that, just the style
of play isn't basketball that I love to watch and
(09:29):
watched all these games. I don't want to see teams
taking a million threes. We've seen it. The NBA All
Star Game scores over two hundred. No defense. We used
to watch the All Star Game. It was never this bad. Okay,
load management guys decide they just don't want to play,
Teams arresting people, people paying five hundred dollars for tickets,
(09:50):
and the players decide they don't want to play.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
They don't want to play back to back.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Michael Jordan this last season in the NBA played all
eighty two games like it's just that's another part of it.
But there are two other parts. The fantasy sports, which
is just ruined, just ruined.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Do you have terrible conversations with your friends because you
think it's going to talk about the game. It's just
didn't do this, he didn't do we talk about the game.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
No, they don't care about the game. It's only what
the player that they have and whether or not what
they're doing. And then the last part, which is why
to me this is relevant today is the gambling aspect
and the idea of parlays and not about winning or
my team winning. Being mad watching the game, being mad
(10:41):
that the coach pulled the player out of the game,
but he needs two more rebounds. Wait a minute, why
do you do what? He needs another assist? Get back
out there, you need another free throw?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
He what are you doing? Angry?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Your team wins but they didn't do they didn't get
your parlay. How in the world are you enjoying this
when I give you all these scenarios for the style
of play, too many threes, load management, a black guy
on the sport, paying your good heart, earn money.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Nobody's showing. And then they don't want to play.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Fantasy sports. Everything is about fantasy rather than the game
of me caring about my team and them winning.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And last the whole parlay thing.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
My god, is that really where it's about the parlay,
not that my team won ed they won by sixteen men.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That was a great game that No, now you bomthered.
Your team won. Lebron didn't get his other he missed it.
He needed one more rebound.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Dude, we are the eye No, we're the eye couple,
but on this subject we are the even couple. I
have a good friend of mine who was by far
my great friend to talk sports with. You know what
I mean, just check in wash the You know he
could be all across the country. You're watching his game
right now. World here you can just talk about the world.
(12:04):
To watch his game win, be looked great, and you
just talk who who you think is better?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What do you like?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
You crazy? I'm taking hit. Just that was my guy.
Drive home, I got an hour drive home. That's talk sports.
We all have that guy or you got several. And
he started getting heavy into parlays. He's the one guy.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He's that guy. You even go back and be like.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Remember in the old five finals when you was rooting
for man that that was my friend Nan that started
to call him and man, ah, what what happened. I
needed him to hit a mother eleven three. I'm like, what,
but ain't you going for the rooting for or that's
not even your guy like that.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I don't even know who this kid is.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I know, but I had the team at over twenty
five to three, so and it started to change everything.
I'm texting him by man, the running basket, gotta run harder,
or thought, how would you go for third and six?
And he's like, man, random game about some guy. I
needs to get two more assists, And I'm like, man,
and they ruined that friend who I relied on.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
They conversation have that sports.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I couldn't agree with you more if you're not into
it and your buddy, your buddies, that crew that used
to be all about going to the bar and watching
the game and meeting at somebody's house. It's changed everything
now to get back to everything else you were saying
style of play because it while it looks while it
may be scientifically the better thing to do to shoot
(13:21):
the three and together the D, it's also stylistically boring, right.
I like mid rangers. I like guys getting to the rack.
I like post up moves, just simply shooting threes and
and all. You know, operating like that is bad. And
as you mentioned, there was a moment when I was
questioning the competition, like everything was a business decision. U.
I gotta wait right now, low management. I don't want
(13:42):
to play because I'm not fully grady. I don't want
to play in an All Star game or the Dunk contest
because if I lose, we don't have the gain if
I don't do it. If I don't, everything became business
decisions versus just the pure love of the game. And
you start to see that now the silver lining or
the hope that I have is in this new crop
of stars win. Ben Yaba is about win ning. He
(14:03):
don't want to be just I'm good and look at
me in an All Star. He wants to win. He
wants to take your part out. He wants to dominate.
Ant is running through laughing at all these bags. Steph
get out of here, Lebron, get out of here, Luca
get out of here. So ant Man win, ben Yama,
Cooper Flagg has left to determinative. I like his motor.
Some of these young guys that are the face of
(14:23):
k cunning him. They want to win they're all in.
It gives me hope that maybe just maybe the competition,
the Karen, the want to crush each other, you know,
to not I mean, you guys can be cool, but
we don't have to be uber fragnizing in front of us.
I'm hoping we'll get back to that. But from one
of this is one of those times. For the most part,
we're on the same page with this man, all right.
(14:45):
And again that part is, it's just it has ruined
you to talk.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
To your friends anymore. Parle, Parlay, Parlay. We want to
hear from you. Where are you? Is this the worst
time ever to be a basketball fan? Right now? Really?
We'll continue this conversation next with you.

Speaker 4 (17:10):

You can't talk to nobody what I bring them a parlay.
Speaker 2 (17:15):

Speaker 6 (17:25):
This is right, This is like the best take ever.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
This is.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Along with social It's just it's just it's destroying the
joy of even talking about sports. I remember the first
time I came across this. I actually had season tickets
to the Clippers and Larry Brown's season when they had
the best record, and there were two guys sitting in
(17:53):
front of me and they were talking about different guys
on on both teams, and I said, what, why are
you even here? I mean, this is the dumbest thing
about right and watching sports, and I want to say
we all I wanted this. Last time I called was
trading uh zion and there he's got a dunk over
(18:15):
with me tonight. This is that. It is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So check it out. I appreciate it. Yes, thank you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
How about Brandon in Riverside. You're California. You're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Brandon?
Speaker 11 (18:32):
Oh Man A long time man.
Speaker 12 (18:34):
Good to hear from.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I know where you've been now. I know you disappeared
on US.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
I do the I gotta I do a lot of
overnight now so I catch I catch the podcast via
you know that's the show via podcast. Okay, I'm glad
to get you live, man. But yeah, yeah, it was
not a good week for basketball. I mean it started
off Dave war was great, all right, Baseball it starts
(18:59):
on Friday. It sounds like they get three days the showcasing,
end up showcasing, gambling and all types of problems.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
Yeah, I just I don't think it.
Speaker 10 (19:10):
Was a good week for basketball as a back, and
I'm a basketball fan, so it's just it was bad.
Like like you said, we had Wenby gave us a
good show. Lakers actually gave a good show to even
yesterday a game with the Warriors versus Nuggets. That was
a good game, but it was just it was just.
Speaker 12 (19:28):
Taking over by the you know where Chelsea Billets and
some other guys done.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
But yeah, if you tie into Brandon, appreciate the coffee,
tie into the what the Clippers are going through to
the m Yeah, it's it's a tough spot right now, NBA,
And you go ahead, guess we'll get some.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
All right, Drew in New Jersey, you're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What's up, Drew?
Speaker 8 (19:48):
Hey, I I agree that I feel like sports study
has dade the game worse. However, I think that what
Wenby did last night brought some excitement back in the
game because he did he shot one, two, two threes
the entire game, So that was amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
But the one thing, Yeah, the one thing I will
add in there. I just think that overall is sports
betting overall, just not a fan of, especially someone that
does like financial counseling in the military. The one thing,
there's two things you always see on a statement. You
always see losses in sports betting, and then you see uber.
Speaker 11 (20:20):
Eats and crazy and then uber eats.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
And then also, you have a really bad interest on
a car, you get like twenty percent even though you're
in the military. You should get six percent because that's
literally a law.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
But whoaow.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, yeah, I hate to hear it getting take advantage
of it. Yeah, man, the betting is bad. Man. It's
like nobody it wasn't more of a hidden secret rob
Now it's just pronounced. Everybody goes out there, everybody's talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Let's squeeze one more in before we get to.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Uh Lamar Mitchell and Steve de Sega Andre in Massachusetts.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, dright,
how you doing?
Speaker 13 (20:57):
Thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Listen.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
This is a great time for the NBA and my
view because we get to see a clear delineation, a
clear parallel between the leadership of the late great David Stearns,
who built the modern NBA, and how he handled crisis,
specifically when we saw some underhanded stuff going on with
the Minnesota Timberwolves in that Joe Joe Smith contract. Okay,
(21:19):
he dropped the dog on hammer. And Adam Silver, who
is his appointed protege who did handle the Donald Sterling
scandal when he first became commissioner. He handled that well.
But he is struggling mightily in my opinion, with these
recent scandals, both the gambling and then what's going on
with Steve Bomer. This is an incredibly intelligent person who
all of a sudden doesn't know what's going on in
(21:40):
the news cycle and things are slipping past them. He's
trying to duck all of these things, and I'm not
buying it. Okay, David Stern would have wrapped his hand
around this and clocked some people and showed some dog
on leadership. I know that they have, how do you
want to call it a Faustian bargain with gambling and
letting it in. You have to have it for the viewership,
But that is such a fine line the league struggle
with that. I get it, but We're not seeing clear
(22:02):
distinctive leadership from the top in the NBA. And it's
just a clear parallel to David Stern, the Angel Stern,
Rob you know what I'm talking about. He would have
got his hands around this. So that's what I'm looking
for for Adam Silver. Great time, great opportunity for leadership
in the NBA. Thanks taking a.

Speaker 12 (23:07):
You guys doing today?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Doing good? Brother as always, hopefully you're doing well too.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Man.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
We've got the World Series kicking off, We've got NBA
backs a good time.
Speaker 12 (23:15):
We got a lot going on, We got a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
All right, let's get to it, Rob, all right, let's
get it started.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
The big game of the week is Sunday when the
Steelers host the Packers, Aaron Rodgers taking on his former team.
But the Steelers are actually three point home dogs in
this game. I guess the only saving grace of the
Packers are only three versus the spread on the road.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Where are the sharps on this one?
Speaker 12 (23:40):
You know, it's we haven't moved out that number three,
We've just juiced the number. And the sharp's a been
definitely been on the juice on this, so they're definitely
on the Steeler side. Here. Looks like Joe Public is
even money. But the money on this game is definitely
in favor of the Steelers at about nine nine to one.
Quip Wow, So yeah, but the shots are definitely on
(24:03):
taking the little juice on the Steelers.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Zo all right, let's talk about a little NFC East
here on this one. We got the Eagles hosting the
Giants and this weekend they're currently going off at seven
and a half point home favors. Last time these two met,
New York dominated Philly on Thursday Night football not too
long ago. And now you've got the Eagles players calling
the game personal. I'm assuming the betters all over Philly
in this spot, right, and don't mention AJ Brown is
(24:27):
going to be out as well.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
Oh yeah, absolutely. The Sharps, Joe Public both both definitely
on the Eagles. Looking at this game here. Money's about
five to one in favor of the Eagles and ticket
counts about three to one in favor of the Eagles.
So this will definitely be a game here that the
public and Joe and the Sharps are definitely on. And
we'll probably need the Giants final less we get some
(24:50):
late money on the Giants.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
All right, it's Friday, It's nine thirty four Eastern.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Is that a home run?
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Right?
Speaker 12 (24:59):
Then?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
So they hit the wall at the home run ron
it is.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Wow, they're going crazy and Tonald, but it's Friday night
here we are nine thirty five Eastern and Aaron Glenn
is still not named the starting quarterback for a game
on Sunday against the Bengals. Two point question with this
one with the spread move if it was either Justin
Fields or Tyron Taylor? And two was anybody crazy enough
(25:26):
to take the Jets in this spot anyway?
Speaker 12 (25:29):
You know, Actually that's a that's a good question. I mean,
we've had some money once we originally opened this game.
You know, obviously they took the Bengals, and Joe Flatto
public's about five to one in favor of the Bengals.
Money though, is even steven in this situation. But whoever
they name it, I would imagine if they named Fields
(25:51):
as a starter, you might see that money. You were
at six, it might go back up to six and
a half. Tyrod Taylor if he starts, probably see the
minus six right now.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, there you have it. Yeah, there.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
This is a bad team and rough situation right now,
quarterback play wise, all right, looking at the board right now,
let's talk about this. But the Panthers are going to
host the Bills on Sunday, and I read a stat
today that those two teams combined they hit the over
a sixty eight percent clip the last couple of seasons.
So with that in mind, Lamar, how much action are
you seeing on a total of over under forty six
(26:23):
and a half?
Speaker 12 (26:24):
The public hitting Jill? The public definitely on this. Money's
about thirteen to one in favor of the over, and
ticket counts about three to one in favors over the
shots to be betting this game over over over. They
hit it a little bit on the under, but basically
been going back and forth on this, but definitely it
is a game that we're going to be looking at
the under, the hot for meath the under on this game, because,
(26:46):
like you said, these two teams combined hit the over,
and that's exactly what everyone's back right now.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All right here we go looking at the board and
the Broncos Cowboys currently has the highest posted total this week,
over under a fifty one. Denver's defense just got lit
up by the Giants and four straight Cowboy games have
gone over the total. I'm assuming that the pros and
the Joels are all taken the over in this spot.
Speaker 12 (27:15):
Rob, you should never assume you know what that will
get you ask out of you and me right in
this in this case, you're you're correct, Rob, though the
Joe's the pros. Everyone's on the over here. Money in
this situation on the over is about twenty to one,
and take account on the over in this situation is
about four to one. Shops, all of them, that's over.
(27:35):
So you know, Cowboys defense, Broncos defense. Basically, the Cowboys
haven't played well on the road defensively, and the Broncos
after that performance last week, it's going to be you know,
we'll be looking at the under on this for the house.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
All right. And lastly for me looking at the board
at the one that stands out to me as a coach.
You got them at a fourteen and a half point
home favorites against the Titans. I know Tennessee is four
and twenty against the spread the last couple seasons, but
fourteen and half a huge number in the NFL. How
much action are you seeing on the Titans here, Lamar.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
No, not trading now, not much. Kevin looks like a
ticket activity in this game is about four to one
favor of the Colts. Money is about four to one
in favor of the Colts, and the Sharps did lay
our initial fourteen late that for fourteen and a half.
So as you said, the Titans don't really cover. They
haven't covered the last two years, three years in a row.
(28:29):
And the public and the sharps are definitely on the
Colts in this situation.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
All right, another huge spread, Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs
have been looking like the Chiefs taking on bad opponents
and running up.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
The score, but like the Raiders last week.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But here they're going off at twelve and a half
point home favorites against the Commanders, who will be without
Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So we know that where are the sharps on this game?
Speaker 12 (28:55):
They we initially open this at nine, and as you see,
it's steam on the li at the twelve and a half,
They late the nine, excuse me, nine and a half,
tens and and a half, eleven, eleven and a half
up to twelve and a half. Right now, the sharps
definitely on the Chiefs. Like you said, it's a game
where the Chiefs are getting outpy on teams that are
in bad situations. Right now, Daniels is out, We've got
(29:16):
Mariota Public is in the betting. The Chiefs here have
a three to one clip and the money is also
the three to one eclip in this situation too, So
it's definitely public and the sharps are definitely on the
chiefs here.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, I get that one right there.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
All right, Lamar, we appreciate you, and Lamar, you should
hang on for a seconds so you can hear.
