Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everyone to betting pros. It's time to place
your bets. It's me Joey P joe P Zapia and
this is BP NFL. It's time to look ahead to
the early lines on week eight. We've got six teams
on a buy this week, so a shorter slate, which
is good. We could really focus ourselves. But it was
a really productive week seven. Oh baby, I hope you're
following me on there. Got those Cardinals to cover, get
(00:22):
the team total there for the Dallas Cowboys. Lots of
good things cooking, and I got a lot more things
cooking Monday night, fingers crossed. Let's see Andrew Erickson. It
was a good weekend for our Patriots as well, stopping
a mudhole covering my parlay of the week as well
Coach's w check Panthers W check, Patriots cover check. It
was a good week seven, that's for sure. And it's
(00:44):
still going with the double dip Monday night tonight, Double.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Dip Monday Night. Although I'm definitely not staying up to
watch the kickoff at ten o'clock on the Ghost.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I thought I'm the old guy in the show. You're
not gonna start happening. I'll watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'll watch it first thing in the morning, and I'm
just bet the under that game and wake up and
be like, hey it worked out. Feel great about that.
But I know the thing I was happy about was
just talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Last week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Brown's going to destroy the Dolphins was number one. It
was into heading into week seven was just Browns, all
the Browns, don't care what the line is, They're gonna
this is like the worst spot for the Miami Dolphins.
And it felt good about that. Although the Jets did
not come through as my underdog pick of the week,
it wasn't their defense's fault. It was because they can't
do anything on offense. I should have just, you know,
friends a lot, friend bet on the Jets, and that
(01:29):
should have been in the process.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's just as good as the Jets. Sometimes my friend
as good as a Jets. But yeah, look a couple
of things did not come through unfortunately too. I did
not get the over on the quinch on Judkins yardage.
I don't know how they just stopped. They just it
was like the Simpsons moment where they would like, stop, stop,
He's already dead. And that was pretty much it. There
but we want to subscribe to the channel, hang out
with us, talk betting, have some fun here on the program.
(01:52):
And of course again we're trying to get to one
hundred thousand subs this year. We can do it with
your help, So subscribe to the channel and let's kick
things off here with the first of many games here.
We've got a Thursday night game here. The Minnesota Vikings
will travel to LA to play the Chargers here in
this one. So Carson Wentz came up short last week.
We'll see if he's the quarterback or not for Thursday.
(02:13):
That is still to be determined. So let's bake that
into this conversation. Plus two and a half right now
is the best number on VP four the Minnesota Vikings,
minus two for the Chargers, the over forty two and
a half, the under forty three and a half, plus
one thirty two on the money line for Minnesota minus
one thirty four. The Chargers got their doors blown off
by the Indianapolis Colts. No shock to me, I flat
out tod you that line was wrong. And also, Jonathan Taylor,
(02:37):
how many touchdowns did he get in that game? Huh? Andrew?
How many? That's right? Three?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
See third time this season. He says three rushing.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Touchdowns and what was the Joey p bonus prop for
the touchdowns on Friday, Jonathan Taylor two touchdowns three to one.
I hope you bet that too, as.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well as my touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
There you go, there you go also scored. That's right,
that's alright, he did. So the Chargers got something improved here.
Minnesota is kind of teetering right now, like they do
not want to go three and four, So this is
a huge game here. The line feels right to me.
I think the easy way to bet this one is
to take the Chargers at home minus one thirty four.
I just think that again. I'm just gonna go with
(03:16):
this one and just close my eyes here, Like I
don't like when I saw offered the Chargers, but they
did get Khalil Mack back last week too, so that's
a huge part of this defense. And Carson Wentz just
makes two mistakes. And I don't know if you know.
JJ McCarthy's played eight quarters of football but only one
good one, so I don't think he's the answer on
a short week either. So I'll just take the Chargers
minus one thirty four money line period it's a little juice.
It's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm in I think I like the Chargers, even laying
the points at home. I don't think Hardy's gonna play.
I think he's still one week away. I've got to
shift a report that said that it was like a
six week injury, and technically that would line him up
with week nine as his potential return. Yes, Wentz is
a turnover machine, so that's a the plays into the Chargers.
And when you just look at the trends, the underdogs
(03:58):
have just dominated these Thursday night spots, specifically in the division.
Now this is a non conference type of game, so
I think this is a spot where I think the
favorites kind of bite back here, just because the trend
has been so heavy on the underdogs, especially in the
division where they just underdogs are just winning outright on
Thursday night in division. So I think that their favorites
get back to the winning column here. So I like
(04:19):
the Chargers as well.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, and look, if you've been watching on Thursday night
football shows, you've been making money on that because we
were on the Giants and that one, and we were
on even last week. Well I won't say we because
Bogman is mister Pittsburgh Sailer. But I was on the
Cincinnati Bengals big time in that game to cover. And
that's the thing. Those Indivision home underdogs, they fight in
those games, and they fight hard, they keep those games closed,
(04:41):
and sometimes, as we've seen, they win. Now, going back
three weeks on Thursday Night Football, we had an upset
two with the forty nine ers. What mac Jones went
in and beat the Rams, but again in division, this
one at a conference. Much different scenario here. So I'm
with Andrew Is and I think we're gonna be on
the same page on this next one. The Cincinnati Bengals
right now, this was minus four and a half. I've
seen them to six. Now in most markets, you're getting
(05:01):
plus six on the Jets. That's forget it. I mean
probably Tyrod Taylor, maybe Justin Fields, who knows, who cares,
It doesn't matter. Forty four is the over, forty five
and a half of the under plus two to twenty
five on the Jets on the money line. If you
like it, and I don't, so I'm gonna go. I
already bet this one on VP. I want to lock
this six and now before it grows and becomes an
unmanageable beast. So yeah, give me the Cincinnati Bengals with
(05:25):
the points here coasting. I might even tease this one
up higher seven and a half somewhere else, Like, I
just think Cincinnati Bengals are going to look They're imperfect,
not a good defensive team. But the Jets are so bad.
I think the Jets have just folded up the Tens.
I think their season is just like over done, see
you later. They quit. It's done your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't like this game. I'm probably going to put
my hard earned cash elsewhere than betting on Bengals and Jets,
just because I think that the Bengals what they do
worse is stop the run, and that's the one thing
the Jets can do offensively, at least theoretically speaking, So
I don't like that. When it comes to just the
X and o's matchup and Tyra Taylor can actually complete
a foward pass.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I didn't see much of it in the second half
of that he.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
More passes than justin fields in the last two games combined.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
The low bar a very low bar. I get.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Then the Jets covered against the Buccaneers when Tyro Taylor
was the starter earlier in the season that it was
also a road game, So again, I'm probably just gonna
stay away from this.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Not me.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm all in Bengals with the six. I feel very
good about this one, all right, Buffalo with a week
off to lick its wounds against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina
might be without Bryce Young against Monday morning recording this,
so we don't have a lot of insights to some
of these injuries. So we're looking for early value. Because
of that, Buffalo minus seven getting plus seven and a
half for the Carolina Panthers, forty seven and a half
for the over, forty eighth of the under, and then
(06:49):
plus three thirty seven for the Panthers on the money line. Look,
I don't expect Buffalo to come out here and lose
this football game. The question is the seven safe? The
way the defense is played. I have to think here
that Buffalo gets themselves together a little bit, and I
actually think it's good that this game is on the
road for them. I think they need to kind of
just go out there be road warriors, come together as
a team a little bit, and see what they can do.
(07:10):
Last time we saw them not good against the Atlanta
Falcons time before that, not good against New England Patriots.
I do think this changes here. I feel comfortable with
the seven, but I don't want it to grow anymore.
So I think there is early value here. What are
your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, I think the seven is probably where I would
feel comfortable because I agree. I think that you'll probably
see more money come in on the Bills as we
get closer to kickoffs, especially, I mean, Andy Dalton's probably
not that again. And I love my Panthers, but I
have to be honest when I say I don't think
that the line should move significantly more in the Bills
favor if Andy Dalton is the starting quarterback for the
(07:43):
Panthers and not Bryce Young. I get that theoretically, Bryce
Sung offers more quote unquote upside, but I think we've
seen Dalton in this Canal's offense functioning very high level.
He's able to move the football, they have offensive playmakers,
and the Panthers at home where they play significantly better
than they do on the road, especially on the offensive
side of the football. The Bills also, what can they
not do stop the run? What can the Panthers do
(08:05):
at one of the top ten rates in the NFL
is run the football between Rico Duo and Chewbahobber like
they have a stable of running backs, So maybe just
that's the over, like that's usually what happens when you
bet on Panthers games, especially at home, is just a
bonanza up points. So I think that's probably my lean.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, I mean forty seven and a half of the
over is not bad, but again I think I want
to lock that in or early, and I do think
that one grows as well. I think that's a very
stuide point. Next one here is a line alert for me.
I think it's wrong, just like I thought the Indianapolis
Colts one was wrong. San Francisco's four and two going
to Houston to take on the Texans. There, you're uning
plus one and a half on San Francisco, yes please,
and getting even money on it. I'm taking this right
(08:42):
now minus one and a half here for the Houston Texans.
The over under for this game is forty three and
a half right now, even money for San Francisco on
the money line. Just win straight up. You can even
find on a couple of books, So this one's easy
for me. Just give me if I'm going to get
even money from San Francisco to find a way to
win this game. If it's Rock Purty, great, if it's
Mac Jones, I don't care. I just think San Francisco
is going to beat the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Your thoughts, Yeah, I think that the value is here
on the forty nine ers because I think that I'm
not sure what the Texas could possibly do against the
Seahawks to make betters feel better about them unless their
offensive line just looks totally different coming out of their
bye week, which against Seattle, that's probably not a very
likely outcome. Again, maybe against a worse defense, especially defensive line,
(09:25):
maybe you could. Hey, the Texas look great against the
Ravens JV squad. That looked awesome, and it's really like boosted.
There's season long numbers. But I agree with you. I
think that when we're looking at this line Tuesday morning,
it's going to be forty nine ers minus two or
minus two and a half.

to the next one here on our list. The New
York Giants had one slipped through their fingers. Oh, Brian Dabole,
when will you ever learn how to manage a football
game that was not good? Not good at all? I mean, punt,
run the clock out, do more stuff, stop trying to
(10:43):
do too much, and maybe get a guy who can
make an extra point that would help too. But regardless,
the New York Giants are going to take on the Eagles.
Eagles are the for revenge here. Now, this one should
be fun. You're getting plus seven for the Giants minus
six and a half on the Eagles at home. Much
different environment now are going to It's a tougher environment
obviously for Jackson Dark to go into. But I thought
Mile High would be tough, and the Giants had that
(11:03):
game in the palm of their hand for three quarters
and they let it slip away through their fingers. Forty
two and a half of the over forty four and
a half is the under plus two eighty five on
the money line for the Giants. I'm gonna take the
Giants with the seven points here because I think I'm
learning something here with the New York Giants, which is
this team is too dumb to not know that they're
not supposed to be competing in these games. They're they're
(11:25):
they're just don't care. They play with that sort of attitude.
I think this loss will be tough. I think they
will learn from it, and I think they will be fine.
And I think, if anything, you still continue to build
confidence and say, hey, we almost beat the Broncos and
that defense in their own building, we can go beat
the Eagles. Wheready beat the Eagles. I'll take the Giants
with the seven Andrew.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, I think that's the side I agree on as well.
When I'm handicapping this game for the VP projections, it
was not nearly this wide of a gap. To your point,
we saw these teams already play, and the Giants beat
the Eagles outright pretty handedly. Now, I know that the
other circumstances will be well, Genn Carr didn't play, Okay,
that does matter, and Queen Mitchell was also injured, and
(12:06):
that matters too. But to your point, the Giants don't
really care who they seems like they're playing. They just
have these two awesome rookies on the opposite side of
the football between Jackson Nord Campscataboo, and they're just gonna
punch you in the mouth. And I yeah in division,
give me the road dog seven points.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Oh you didn't know? All right, let's go to Cleveland
and New England here, this one's gonna be in New England.
I gotta tell you, I don't love the lines on
this game. I just don't plus seven and a half
for the Cleveland Browns, minus six and a half of
the England Patriots, forty and a half for the over,
forty two and a half for the under, plus three
twenty for the Browns on the money line. I don't
like these lines. I don't like this. This is more
individual stuff for me. Here. There's a scenario where the
(12:47):
Cleveland Browns defense keeps this game tight. There's a scenario
where the New England Patriots just blow the Browns out
of the water. And you know, Gabriel makes mistakes and
all that business. So this one has some ranges outcomes
for me. I'm so confident that the Patriots will find
a way to win, but I just don't like the
lines here on this one, or the old team total too,
the over unders. I think he's a little spot on
(13:09):
as well.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Your thoughts, Yeah, this one is definitely feels like a
big number Patriots coming off three straight road victories now
going home for the first time. I like the bet
against the Browns when they're not at home, though, because
they play significantly worse on the road, and I would
say Mike Ribel might have some intel on this Browns
to remember who he was a consultant last year was
(13:33):
with the Cleveland Browns, so I think that matters. It's
a rookie quarterback. Rookie quarterbacks on the road typically are
good bets to make, especially early in the season. I'm
really afraid of Dylan Gabriel going in.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's more fear can stop the run.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I think I actually like the Patriots. Like the points
here at home. I get it seems like a big number,
but the Patriots have dominated the last couple of matchups
against bad teams. The Browns on the road are a
bad team and the only team that they beat last
week was the Dolphins, who are also bad. So I
actually like the Pats here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
If you held my feet to the fire, I would
be on the pat side as well. And I'm wearing
the New England shirt though, so this is again this
is business, not personal. I don't love this one, but
if I had to pick, that's where I'm going here.
All right, let's talk about the Baltimore Ravens at home
one in five play in the Chicago Bears. So the
Ravens have had time to figure some stuff out, do
(14:26):
some soul searching, maybe going a little couple's retreat toget.
I don't know, they gotta do something. I don't know
what's going on with this team here, but hopefully Lamar Jackson,
we're hoping is back for this one minus six here
at home. So the assumption is Lamar Jackson is back
for this game. Plus seven and a half. Here's what
you're getting for the Bears. Forty nine and a half
for the over, fifty and a half for the under,
(14:47):
plus two ninety eight for the Bears. Now that money
line is tempting. You give me three to one against
the Baltimore team that has all kinds of problems. I
get it, like it shouldn't be the case, Like Baltimore
theory with Lamar should win this football game. I think
the most tempting thing is the over forty nine and
a half. I think that's the play here.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, I think that I would agree. There's still a
lot of question marks about the Ravens in general, because
they could get a lot of their guys back healthy, right,
So that's something that we have to pay attention to
with the injury reports coming off their buy because we
don't get injury reports during the bye week, so it's
not gonna be until Tuesday or Wednesday that we figure out, Okay,
here's actually who's going to play for the Ravens this week,
because that significantly matters. Because even in Alastkame they played,
(15:29):
you saw them play a little bit better defensively because
they actually had some of their defensive guys back in
the lineup. So that's something I would keep in mind.
I think we would just shy away from it now
kind of see how things play out with because the
injuries just matter so much.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I expect Lamar to play, and I think as once
that news becomes out there, I think you will see
people bet this total up more so. I think it'd
be a lock in forty nine and a half forget.
I mean, he's already at the fifties and some books already.
You can see this one getting a fifty one fifty
two by Sunday. Like, I think there is some value
there early on the opening here. I don't know I
there's anything left here for the Miami Dolphins. We'll find out.
(16:02):
They are now one in six taking on the Falcons
at three and two. Falcons are seven and a half
point favorites at home in this one. You're getting plus
seven and a half on Miami, forty five and a
half for the over, forty six and a half for
the under, plus three twenty five on the money line
to four the Miami Dolphins. Look, this feels like a
get right spot. I'm gonna keep this one simple. All
the Bejon Robinson overs, whatever they are, I don't care
(16:25):
you considered it like a thousand. I'm taking the over.
I'm going right for Beijon in this game, and you
can have the rest of it. That's all I want
because that Dolphins defense is terrible and Bjeon Robinson is
going to have himself a day against it. Your thoughts, I'll.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Take the Falcons with the point. Were laying the points
at home. They play better at home their Dome team,
and they can run the ball effectively, and Miami Dolphins
can't stop the run in any capacity. And you have
the Falcons argub they have the best running back in
the NFL on their team, so I think that they
will bounce back after tough loss on the road Sunday
Night football against the forty nine ers. I like the
dirty Birds, all right.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers play Monday night and they have a
short week to prepare for the Saints on the road.
Saints are six and a half point underdogs. You're getting
minus five and a half for Tampa in that one
on the road forty seven and a half or the
(17:41):
over forty eight and a half for the under plus
two thirty five for the Saints on the money line.
I could see a world where in the short week
and I'll let down a little spot there, maybe, just
maybe with the buy looming, that the Saints keep this
one close. Right now, I don't have a beat on
this game. I just want to see how everybody comes
out healthy too, does it Buka play tonight? How is
Evans looked tonight? To me? This is a wait and see.
(18:03):
I don't see a lot of early value. But Andrew,
maybe you see it differently.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I like the Saints here at home. I definitely like that.
We saw it earlier in the season that the Buccaneers
blew a cover against the New York Jets after playing
on a Monday night emotional game. They run a short
week and that was at home and they ended up
blowing the cover against the Tyrod Taylor led New York
Jets team. So we always talked about this. Baker Mayfield
tonight is the spot you want to back Baker Mayfield
on the road underdog, not necessarily again, this one is
(18:29):
on the road, but in a divisional matchup. Saints actually
played pretty well against Baker Mayfield. Last years Betch Rawler
played decent, decent games against the Bucks, So I actually
like the Saints with the points at home.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
All right, Cowboys continue to put up a lot of
points themselves. The Denver Broncos came out with a miracle
victory last night. We have a minus two and a
half for the Broncos at home against the Cowboys. Plus
three and a half on the Dallas Cowboys is the
best line you'll find for them right now on VP.
Forty seven and a half of the over, forty eight
and a half for the under, plus one forty five
for the Cowboys on the money line. Now, look, the
(19:00):
Denver Broncos, you know, really should not have won that
football game. They did, so I want to give them
a lot of credit. They found a way. Bonnicks made
some big plays there too. I know the Denver Broncos
defense is great, but so is the Dallas offense. And
now they got Cebee Lambrook back and they're cooking. And
to me, I'm just looking at the total for forty
seven and a half. If this was in Dallas, it'd
(19:21):
be a smash over for me. I'm still going the over.
I'm not smashing it, but that's where I am for
this one. I think over forty seven and a half.
This is another one too that I think could grow
as the week goes on. But where are you at
with Broncos and Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I think I just like the Cowboys, you know, getting
some points here going the road that's very too necessarily
afraid of them. Who's a better quarterback, Dak Prescott Scott.
Who's got better weapons? Dak Prescott?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I did so.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
We saw the Giants go up and down on this
Denver Broncos defense. Yes, I know it's very, very good,
but I think that Dak is playing to your point,
just at this insane level right now when he has
all of his weapons. I get still I'm not concerned
about it being on the row. We'll see if there's
any type of weather implications. But I mean the Broncos
are a I know they're playing the Rockies, but it's
like a roller coaster ride with this team every single week,
(20:11):
Like which bonis are we gonna get? Because we get
really bad Bonicks for half some games, then get really
good Bonicks making plays left and right, and they should
have lost against the Giants, but they also should have
beat the Colts earlier in the season when they had
the blockfield goal. So just so many emotions with this team,
I think maybe they could be in for a more
of a letdown spot, whereas I just kind of know
what to expect from Dallas. Just the offense is gonna cook,
(20:32):
defense is gonna have a lot of points. But at
the end of the day, if I get Dak Prescott
with the ball in his hands on the final drive,
that's a bet I want to make.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Okay, Tennessee Titans take on the Indianapolis Colts. Here you
go is the biggest one of the week. Fourteen and
a half is the spread of here plus fourteen and
a half minus fourteen for the Indianapolis Colts, forty six
and a half for the under, forty four and a
half for the over, plus age fifty two for the
upset of all time here. But look, the Colts getting
two touchdowns. It field's right to me. Do I want
(21:00):
to bet it?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
But all the Jonathan Taylor for touchdown prop second handle,
So give me two more touchdowns for him in this game,
and who knows if he even plays the fourth quarter?
How things are going, he's been he's nearly MVP, like
he's not, but you know, because he's a running back,
so he'll never win it. But Jonathan Taylor has been
awesome for this team this year, and the Titans have
been dreadful and the new coach is not going to
change that necessarily. What are your thoughts? Can the Titans
(21:24):
pull themselves up by their bootstraps and cover the two touchdowns?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I don't think so. Then he makes so many mistakes.
Jeffery Simmons is hurt now, he missed the time against
the Patriots, Lugarius Sneed is injured again, so I don't
see where's the upside case for the Titans. And even
cam Ward like he's continuing to make mistakes too. I mean,
he's fumbling the ball, he's not protecting the football. So
(21:48):
there's just not a lot around him. And when your
best players are two other rookies that were drafted on
Day three, like he's throwing the Jamiir d k and
elk I a man or like those are his two
best players on offense and their rookies that were drafted
in Day three is not enough to work with, so
especially they can just feed Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I agree
with you. Just Jonathan Taylor props.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And I think the best way, too, Andrew, is to
just bet the team total here for the Colts. You know,
I'm looking for that number right now. Cooints. Well, I
don't know if it's gonna be that, but it's it's
probably gonna be. I mean, if you were gonna set
in your brain, it's over twenty seven and a half, right.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I mean the Colts have scored on better defenses thirty
five plus point.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I mean, well that's what I'm saying. It's gonna be
in the high twenties. As long as it's south of thirty.
I would bet the team total here and just not
even worry about the fourteen too, because you just never know,
like things get weird sometimes and just think, you know,
Colts look and sometimes these games are trappy too, where
teams will take somebody seriously, right, you know, but I
think the Colts will game Division game, you know those
game we're I would bet the team total of the
(22:52):
Colts here. I think that's the best thing to do.
Next up here Sunday Night football, Green Bay Packers Pittsburgh Steelers,
like that old timey football there Packers minus two and
a half Pittsburgh Steelers look at their wounds from a
butt kicker by the Bengals. There's the fall crazy good
times plus three and a half there on the Pittsburgh
Steelers forty three and a half of the over, forty
(23:14):
four and a half for the under. You can plus
one forty five for the Steelers at home on the
money line. So Mike Tomin is an underdog, right, Certainly
there's some value there. Do you want to go ahead
and lock this in, especially after what you saw maybe
out of the first half of the Packers, or you
get terrified because of what you saw the second half
of the Packers and Michael Parsons just crushing the quarterback
because Aaron Rodgers is not exactly as mobile as he
(23:37):
used to be.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I mean, you don't want to jump on Aaron Rodgers
in a celebration or else. He's gonna be a.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Very Oh yeah, I get so angry. I'll wait to
see Michael Parsons jump on him. Get angry he gets
then if I was that lineman first play the game,
I'd let Michael Parsons just run by and said, go
get some son, Go get yourself some get yourself a piece.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'm I'm going with. I like the Packers here. Now
you give me the Packers again. I like, look, they've
been in some weird spots last couple weeks. Just like
really really heavy favorites against new backup quarterbacks. It's Aaron
Rodgers versus agreement. Packers like they got to take care
of business. Jordan Love wants to show out in this game.
I like the Packers here.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Everything is aligning for the Chiefs. The stars are falling
into place here for them as they crush shut out
the Las Vegas Raiders. Now they've got Monday night football
against the Commander's team that's most likely without Jayden Daniels.
Already nine and a half point favorites in this game.
Forty eight and a half is the total you get
plus four to ten on the money line for the Commanders.
(24:36):
Marcus Mariota traveling, Look, Casey, I think is going to
whoop on the Commanders. I would lock this one in
now too. This is another early line value for me. Andrew,
Is it for you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, I would take the Chiefs. I think that it's
a good comparison. Would you rather lay the point like
this massive amount of points to the Chiefs or the Colts.
It's like, give me the give me the Chiefs, especially
a nine and a half non conference game. We'd have
to worry about the divisional stuff. Yeah, Daniels doesn't play.
What are you really expecting from Mariota with a banged
up debo? No, Terry mclaurin's it's not a firepower left
(25:08):
on this commander's team. That this has been under manned
basically since the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
It feels like, yep, that's true. So that is Week
eight in a nutshell, a lot of early values. So

Welcome in everyone to betting pros. It's time to place
your bets. It's me Joey P joe P Zapia and
this is BP NFL. It's time to look ahead to
the early lines on week eight. We've got six teams
on a buy this week, so a shorter slate, which
is good. We could really focus ourselves. But it was
a really productive week seven. Oh baby, I hope you're
following me on there. Got those Cardinals to cover, get
(00:22):
the team total there for the Dallas Cowboys. Lots of
good things cooking, and I got a lot more things
cooking Monday night, fingers crossed. Let's see Andrew Erickson. It
was a good weekend for our Patriots as well, stopping
a mudhole covering my parlay of the week as well
Coach's w check Panthers W check, Patriots cover check. It
was a good week seven, that's for sure. And it's
(00:44):
still going with the double dip Monday night tonight, Double.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Dip Monday Night. Although I'm definitely not staying up to
watch the kickoff at ten o'clock on the Ghost.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I thought I'm the old guy in the show. You're
not gonna start happening. I'll watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'll watch it first thing in the morning, and I'm
just bet the under that game and wake up and
be like, hey it worked out. Feel great about that.
But I know the thing I was happy about was
just talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Last week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Brown's going to destroy the Dolphins was number one. It
was into heading into week seven was just Browns, all
the Browns, don't care what the line is, They're gonna
this is like the worst spot for the Miami Dolphins.
And it felt good about that. Although the Jets did
not come through as my underdog pick of the week,
it wasn't their defense's fault. It was because they can't
do anything on offense. I should have just, you know,
friends a lot, friend bet on the Jets, and that
(01:29):
should have been in the process.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's just as good as the Jets. Sometimes my friend
as good as a Jets. But yeah, look a couple
of things did not come through unfortunately too. I did
not get the over on the quinch on Judkins yardage.
I don't know how they just stopped. They just it
was like the Simpsons moment where they would like, stop, stop,
He's already dead. And that was pretty much it. There
but we want to subscribe to the channel, hang out
with us, talk betting, have some fun here on the program.
(01:52):
And of course again we're trying to get to one
hundred thousand subs this year. We can do it with
your help, So subscribe to the channel and let's kick
things off here with the first of many games here.
We've got a Thursday night game here. The Minnesota Vikings
will travel to LA to play the Chargers here in
this one. So Carson Wentz came up short last week.
We'll see if he's the quarterback or not for Thursday.
(02:13):
That is still to be determined. So let's bake that
into this conversation. Plus two and a half right now
is the best number on VP four the Minnesota Vikings,
minus two for the Chargers, the over forty two and
a half, the under forty three and a half, plus
one thirty two on the money line for Minnesota minus
one thirty four. The Chargers got their doors blown off
by the Indianapolis Colts. No shock to me, I flat
out tod you that line was wrong. And also, Jonathan Taylor,
(02:37):
how many touchdowns did he get in that game? Huh? Andrew?
How many? That's right? Three?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
See third time this season. He says three rushing.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Touchdowns and what was the Joey p bonus prop for
the touchdowns on Friday, Jonathan Taylor two touchdowns three to one.
I hope you bet that too, as.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well as my touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
There you go, there you go also scored. That's right,
that's alright, he did. So the Chargers got something improved here.
Minnesota is kind of teetering right now, like they do
not want to go three and four, So this is
a huge game here. The line feels right to me.
I think the easy way to bet this one is
to take the Chargers at home minus one thirty four.
I just think that again. I'm just gonna go with
(03:16):
this one and just close my eyes here, Like I
don't like when I saw offered the Chargers, but they
did get Khalil Mack back last week too, so that's
a huge part of this defense. And Carson Wentz just
makes two mistakes. And I don't know if you know.
JJ McCarthy's played eight quarters of football but only one
good one, so I don't think he's the answer on
a short week either. So I'll just take the Chargers
minus one thirty four money line period it's a little juice.
It's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm in I think I like the Chargers, even laying
the points at home. I don't think Hardy's gonna play.
I think he's still one week away. I've got to
shift a report that said that it was like a
six week injury, and technically that would line him up
with week nine as his potential return. Yes, Wentz is
a turnover machine, so that's a the plays into the Chargers.
And when you just look at the trends, the underdogs
(03:58):
have just dominated these Thursday night spots, specifically in the division.
Now this is a non conference type of game, so
I think this is a spot where I think the
favorites kind of bite back here, just because the trend
has been so heavy on the underdogs, especially in the
division where they just underdogs are just winning outright on
Thursday night in division. So I think that their favorites
get back to the winning column here. So I like
(04:19):
the Chargers as well.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, and look, if you've been watching on Thursday night
football shows, you've been making money on that because we
were on the Giants and that one, and we were
on even last week. Well I won't say we because
Bogman is mister Pittsburgh Sailer. But I was on the
Cincinnati Bengals big time in that game to cover. And
that's the thing. Those Indivision home underdogs, they fight in
those games, and they fight hard, they keep those games closed,
(04:41):
and sometimes, as we've seen, they win. Now, going back
three weeks on Thursday Night Football, we had an upset
two with the forty nine ers. What mac Jones went
in and beat the Rams, but again in division, this
one at a conference. Much different scenario here. So I'm
with Andrew Is and I think we're gonna be on
the same page on this next one. The Cincinnati Bengals
right now, this was minus four and a half. I've
seen them to six. Now in most markets, you're getting
(05:01):
plus six on the Jets. That's forget it. I mean
probably Tyrod Taylor, maybe Justin Fields, who knows, who cares,
It doesn't matter. Forty four is the over, forty five
and a half of the under plus two to twenty
five on the Jets on the money line. If you
like it, and I don't, so I'm gonna go. I
already bet this one on VP. I want to lock
this six and now before it grows and becomes an
unmanageable beast. So yeah, give me the Cincinnati Bengals with
(05:25):
the points here coasting. I might even tease this one
up higher seven and a half somewhere else, Like, I
just think Cincinnati Bengals are going to look They're imperfect,
not a good defensive team. But the Jets are so bad.
I think the Jets have just folded up the Tens.
I think their season is just like over done, see
you later. They quit. It's done your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't like this game. I'm probably going to put
my hard earned cash elsewhere than betting on Bengals and Jets,
just because I think that the Bengals what they do
worse is stop the run, and that's the one thing
the Jets can do offensively, at least theoretically speaking, So
I don't like that. When it comes to just the
X and o's matchup and Tyra Taylor can actually complete
a foward pass.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I didn't see much of it in the second half
of that he.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
More passes than justin fields in the last two games combined.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
The low bar a very low bar. I get.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Then the Jets covered against the Buccaneers when Tyro Taylor
was the starter earlier in the season that it was
also a road game, So again, I'm probably just gonna
stay away from this.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Not me.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm all in Bengals with the six. I feel very
good about this one, all right, Buffalo with a week
off to lick its wounds against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina
might be without Bryce Young against Monday morning recording this,
so we don't have a lot of insights to some
of these injuries. So we're looking for early value. Because
of that, Buffalo minus seven getting plus seven and a
half for the Carolina Panthers, forty seven and a half
for the over, forty eighth of the under, and then
(06:49):
plus three thirty seven for the Panthers on the money line. Look,
I don't expect Buffalo to come out here and lose
this football game. The question is the seven safe? The
way the defense is played. I have to think here
that Buffalo gets themselves together a little bit, and I
actually think it's good that this game is on the
road for them. I think they need to kind of
just go out there be road warriors, come together as
a team a little bit, and see what they can do.
(07:10):
Last time we saw them not good against the Atlanta
Falcons time before that, not good against New England Patriots.
I do think this changes here. I feel comfortable with
the seven, but I don't want it to grow anymore.
So I think there is early value here. What are
your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, I think the seven is probably where I would
feel comfortable because I agree. I think that you'll probably
see more money come in on the Bills as we
get closer to kickoffs, especially, I mean, Andy Dalton's probably
not that again. And I love my Panthers, but I
have to be honest when I say I don't think
that the line should move significantly more in the Bills
favor if Andy Dalton is the starting quarterback for the
(07:43):
Panthers and not Bryce Young. I get that theoretically, Bryce
Sung offers more quote unquote upside, but I think we've
seen Dalton in this Canal's offense functioning very high level.
He's able to move the football, they have offensive playmakers,
and the Panthers at home where they play significantly better
than they do on the road, especially on the offensive
side of the football. The Bills also, what can they
not do stop the run? What can the Panthers do
(08:05):
at one of the top ten rates in the NFL
is run the football between Rico Duo and Chewbahobber like
they have a stable of running backs, So maybe just
that's the over, like that's usually what happens when you
bet on Panthers games, especially at home, is just a
bonanza up points. So I think that's probably my lean.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, I mean forty seven and a half of the
over is not bad, but again I think I want
to lock that in or early, and I do think
that one grows as well. I think that's a very
stuide point. Next one here is a line alert for me.
I think it's wrong, just like I thought the Indianapolis
Colts one was wrong. San Francisco's four and two going
to Houston to take on the Texans. There, you're uning
plus one and a half on San Francisco, yes please,
and getting even money on it. I'm taking this right
(08:42):
now minus one and a half here for the Houston Texans.
The over under for this game is forty three and
a half right now, even money for San Francisco on
the money line. Just win straight up. You can even
find on a couple of books, So this one's easy
for me. Just give me if I'm going to get
even money from San Francisco to find a way to
win this game. If it's Rock Purty, great, if it's
Mac Jones, I don't care. I just think San Francisco
is going to beat the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Your thoughts, Yeah, I think that the value is here
on the forty nine ers because I think that I'm
not sure what the Texas could possibly do against the
Seahawks to make betters feel better about them unless their
offensive line just looks totally different coming out of their
bye week, which against Seattle, that's probably not a very
likely outcome. Again, maybe against a worse defense, especially defensive line,
(09:25):
maybe you could. Hey, the Texas look great against the
Ravens JV squad. That looked awesome, and it's really like boosted.
There's season long numbers. But I agree with you. I
think that when we're looking at this line Tuesday morning,
it's going to be forty nine ers minus two or
minus two and a half.
Speaker 1 (09:39):

to the next one here on our list. The New
York Giants had one slipped through their fingers. Oh, Brian Dabole,
when will you ever learn how to manage a football
game that was not good? Not good at all? I mean, punt,
run the clock out, do more stuff, stop trying to
(10:43):
do too much, and maybe get a guy who can
make an extra point that would help too. But regardless,
the New York Giants are going to take on the Eagles.
Eagles are the for revenge here. Now, this one should
be fun. You're getting plus seven for the Giants minus
six and a half on the Eagles at home. Much
different environment now are going to It's a tougher environment
obviously for Jackson Dark to go into. But I thought
Mile High would be tough, and the Giants had that
(11:03):
game in the palm of their hand for three quarters
and they let it slip away through their fingers. Forty
two and a half of the over forty four and
a half is the under plus two eighty five on
the money line for the Giants. I'm gonna take the
Giants with the seven points here because I think I'm
learning something here with the New York Giants, which is
this team is too dumb to not know that they're
not supposed to be competing in these games. They're they're
(11:25):
they're just don't care. They play with that sort of attitude.
I think this loss will be tough. I think they
will learn from it, and I think they will be fine.
And I think, if anything, you still continue to build
confidence and say, hey, we almost beat the Broncos and
that defense in their own building, we can go beat
the Eagles. Wheready beat the Eagles. I'll take the Giants
with the seven Andrew.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, I think that's the side I agree on as well.
When I'm handicapping this game for the VP projections, it
was not nearly this wide of a gap. To your point,
we saw these teams already play, and the Giants beat
the Eagles outright pretty handedly. Now, I know that the
other circumstances will be well, Genn Carr didn't play, Okay,
that does matter, and Queen Mitchell was also injured, and
(12:06):
that matters too. But to your point, the Giants don't
really care who they seems like they're playing. They just
have these two awesome rookies on the opposite side of
the football between Jackson Nord Campscataboo, and they're just gonna
punch you in the mouth. And I yeah in division,
give me the road dog seven points.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Oh you didn't know? All right, let's go to Cleveland
and New England here, this one's gonna be in New England.
I gotta tell you, I don't love the lines on
this game. I just don't plus seven and a half
for the Cleveland Browns, minus six and a half of
the England Patriots, forty and a half for the over,
forty two and a half for the under, plus three
twenty for the Browns on the money line. I don't
like these lines. I don't like this. This is more
individual stuff for me. Here. There's a scenario where the
(12:47):
Cleveland Browns defense keeps this game tight. There's a scenario
where the New England Patriots just blow the Browns out
of the water. And you know, Gabriel makes mistakes and
all that business. So this one has some ranges outcomes
for me. I'm so confident that the Patriots will find
a way to win, but I just don't like the
lines here on this one, or the old team total too,
the over unders. I think he's a little spot on
(13:09):
as well.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Your thoughts, Yeah, this one is definitely feels like a
big number Patriots coming off three straight road victories now
going home for the first time. I like the bet
against the Browns when they're not at home, though, because
they play significantly worse on the road, and I would
say Mike Ribel might have some intel on this Browns
to remember who he was a consultant last year was
(13:33):
with the Cleveland Browns, so I think that matters. It's
a rookie quarterback. Rookie quarterbacks on the road typically are
good bets to make, especially early in the season. I'm
really afraid of Dylan Gabriel going in.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's more fear can stop the run.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I think I actually like the Patriots. Like the points
here at home. I get it seems like a big number,
but the Patriots have dominated the last couple of matchups
against bad teams. The Browns on the road are a
bad team and the only team that they beat last
week was the Dolphins, who are also bad. So I
actually like the Pats here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
If you held my feet to the fire, I would
be on the pat side as well. And I'm wearing
the New England shirt though, so this is again this
is business, not personal. I don't love this one, but
if I had to pick, that's where I'm going here.
All right, let's talk about the Baltimore Ravens at home
one in five play in the Chicago Bears. So the
Ravens have had time to figure some stuff out, do
(14:26):
some soul searching, maybe going a little couple's retreat toget.
I don't know, they gotta do something. I don't know
what's going on with this team here, but hopefully Lamar Jackson,
we're hoping is back for this one minus six here
at home. So the assumption is Lamar Jackson is back
for this game. Plus seven and a half. Here's what
you're getting for the Bears. Forty nine and a half
for the over, fifty and a half for the under,
(14:47):
plus two ninety eight for the Bears. Now that money
line is tempting. You give me three to one against
the Baltimore team that has all kinds of problems. I
get it, like it shouldn't be the case, Like Baltimore
theory with Lamar should win this football game. I think
the most tempting thing is the over forty nine and
a half. I think that's the play here.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, I think that I would agree. There's still a
lot of question marks about the Ravens in general, because
they could get a lot of their guys back healthy, right,
So that's something that we have to pay attention to
with the injury reports coming off their buy because we
don't get injury reports during the bye week, so it's
not gonna be until Tuesday or Wednesday that we figure out, Okay,
here's actually who's going to play for the Ravens this week,
because that significantly matters. Because even in Alastkame they played,
(15:29):
you saw them play a little bit better defensively because
they actually had some of their defensive guys back in
the lineup. So that's something I would keep in mind.
I think we would just shy away from it now
kind of see how things play out with because the
injuries just matter so much.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I expect Lamar to play, and I think as once
that news becomes out there, I think you will see
people bet this total up more so. I think it'd
be a lock in forty nine and a half forget.
I mean, he's already at the fifties and some books already.
You can see this one getting a fifty one fifty
two by Sunday. Like, I think there is some value
there early on the opening here. I don't know I
there's anything left here for the Miami Dolphins. We'll find out.
(16:02):
They are now one in six taking on the Falcons
at three and two. Falcons are seven and a half
point favorites at home in this one. You're getting plus
seven and a half on Miami, forty five and a
half for the over, forty six and a half for
the under, plus three twenty five on the money line
to four the Miami Dolphins. Look, this feels like a
get right spot. I'm gonna keep this one simple. All
the Bejon Robinson overs, whatever they are, I don't care
(16:25):
you considered it like a thousand. I'm taking the over.
I'm going right for Beijon in this game, and you
can have the rest of it. That's all I want
because that Dolphins defense is terrible and Bjeon Robinson is
going to have himself a day against it. Your thoughts, I'll.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Take the Falcons with the point. Were laying the points
at home. They play better at home their Dome team,
and they can run the ball effectively, and Miami Dolphins
can't stop the run in any capacity. And you have
the Falcons argub they have the best running back in
the NFL on their team, so I think that they
will bounce back after tough loss on the road Sunday
Night football against the forty nine ers. I like the
dirty Birds, all right.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers play Monday night and they have a
short week to prepare for the Saints on the road.
Saints are six and a half point underdogs. You're getting
minus five and a half for Tampa in that one
on the road forty seven and a half or the
(17:41):
over forty eight and a half for the under plus
two thirty five for the Saints on the money line.
I could see a world where in the short week
and I'll let down a little spot there, maybe, just
maybe with the buy looming, that the Saints keep this
one close. Right now, I don't have a beat on
this game. I just want to see how everybody comes
out healthy too, does it Buka play tonight? How is
Evans looked tonight? To me? This is a wait and see.
(18:03):
I don't see a lot of early value. But Andrew,
maybe you see it differently.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I like the Saints here at home. I definitely like that.
We saw it earlier in the season that the Buccaneers
blew a cover against the New York Jets after playing
on a Monday night emotional game. They run a short
week and that was at home and they ended up
blowing the cover against the Tyrod Taylor led New York
Jets team. So we always talked about this. Baker Mayfield
tonight is the spot you want to back Baker Mayfield
on the road underdog, not necessarily again, this one is
(18:29):
on the road, but in a divisional matchup. Saints actually
played pretty well against Baker Mayfield. Last years Betch Rawler
played decent, decent games against the Bucks, So I actually
like the Saints with the points at home.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
All right, Cowboys continue to put up a lot of
points themselves. The Denver Broncos came out with a miracle
victory last night. We have a minus two and a
half for the Broncos at home against the Cowboys. Plus
three and a half on the Dallas Cowboys is the
best line you'll find for them right now on VP.
Forty seven and a half of the over, forty eight
and a half for the under, plus one forty five
for the Cowboys on the money line. Now, look, the
(19:00):
Denver Broncos, you know, really should not have won that
football game. They did, so I want to give them
a lot of credit. They found a way. Bonnicks made
some big plays there too. I know the Denver Broncos
defense is great, but so is the Dallas offense. And
now they got Cebee Lambrook back and they're cooking. And
to me, I'm just looking at the total for forty
seven and a half. If this was in Dallas, it'd
(19:21):
be a smash over for me. I'm still going the over.
I'm not smashing it, but that's where I am for
this one. I think over forty seven and a half.
This is another one too that I think could grow
as the week goes on. But where are you at
with Broncos and Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I think I just like the Cowboys, you know, getting
some points here going the road that's very too necessarily
afraid of them. Who's a better quarterback, Dak Prescott Scott.
Who's got better weapons? Dak Prescott?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I did so.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
We saw the Giants go up and down on this
Denver Broncos defense. Yes, I know it's very, very good,
but I think that Dak is playing to your point,
just at this insane level right now when he has
all of his weapons. I get still I'm not concerned
about it being on the row. We'll see if there's
any type of weather implications. But I mean the Broncos
are a I know they're playing the Rockies, but it's
like a roller coaster ride with this team every single week,
(20:11):
Like which bonis are we gonna get? Because we get
really bad Bonicks for half some games, then get really
good Bonicks making plays left and right, and they should
have lost against the Giants, but they also should have
beat the Colts earlier in the season when they had
the blockfield goal. So just so many emotions with this team,
I think maybe they could be in for a more
of a letdown spot, whereas I just kind of know
what to expect from Dallas. Just the offense is gonna cook,
(20:32):
defense is gonna have a lot of points. But at
the end of the day, if I get Dak Prescott
with the ball in his hands on the final drive,
that's a bet I want to make.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Okay, Tennessee Titans take on the Indianapolis Colts. Here you
go is the biggest one of the week. Fourteen and
a half is the spread of here plus fourteen and
a half minus fourteen for the Indianapolis Colts, forty six
and a half for the under, forty four and a
half for the over, plus age fifty two for the
upset of all time here. But look, the Colts getting
two touchdowns. It field's right to me. Do I want
(21:00):
to bet it?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
But all the Jonathan Taylor for touchdown prop second handle,
So give me two more touchdowns for him in this game,
and who knows if he even plays the fourth quarter?
How things are going, he's been he's nearly MVP, like
he's not, but you know, because he's a running back,
so he'll never win it. But Jonathan Taylor has been
awesome for this team this year, and the Titans have
been dreadful and the new coach is not going to
change that necessarily. What are your thoughts? Can the Titans
(21:24):
pull themselves up by their bootstraps and cover the two touchdowns?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I don't think so. Then he makes so many mistakes.
Jeffery Simmons is hurt now, he missed the time against
the Patriots, Lugarius Sneed is injured again, so I don't
see where's the upside case for the Titans. And even
cam Ward like he's continuing to make mistakes too. I mean,
he's fumbling the ball, he's not protecting the football. So
(21:48):
there's just not a lot around him. And when your
best players are two other rookies that were drafted on
Day three, like he's throwing the Jamiir d k and
elk I a man or like those are his two
best players on offense and their rookies that were drafted
in Day three is not enough to work with, so
especially they can just feed Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I agree
with you. Just Jonathan Taylor props.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And I think the best way, too, Andrew, is to
just bet the team total here for the Colts. You know,
I'm looking for that number right now. Cooints. Well, I
don't know if it's gonna be that, but it's it's
probably gonna be. I mean, if you were gonna set
in your brain, it's over twenty seven and a half, right.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I mean the Colts have scored on better defenses thirty
five plus point.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I mean, well that's what I'm saying. It's gonna be
in the high twenties. As long as it's south of thirty.
I would bet the team total here and just not
even worry about the fourteen too, because you just never know,
like things get weird sometimes and just think, you know,
Colts look and sometimes these games are trappy too, where
teams will take somebody seriously, right, you know, but I
think the Colts will game Division game, you know those
game we're I would bet the team total of the
(22:52):
Colts here. I think that's the best thing to do.
Next up here Sunday Night football, Green Bay Packers Pittsburgh Steelers,
like that old timey football there Packers minus two and
a half Pittsburgh Steelers look at their wounds from a
butt kicker by the Bengals. There's the fall crazy good
times plus three and a half there on the Pittsburgh
Steelers forty three and a half of the over, forty
(23:14):
four and a half for the under. You can plus
one forty five for the Steelers at home on the
money line. So Mike Tomin is an underdog, right, Certainly
there's some value there. Do you want to go ahead
and lock this in, especially after what you saw maybe
out of the first half of the Packers, or you
get terrified because of what you saw the second half
of the Packers and Michael Parsons just crushing the quarterback
because Aaron Rodgers is not exactly as mobile as he
(23:37):
used to be.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I mean, you don't want to jump on Aaron Rodgers
in a celebration or else. He's gonna be a.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Very Oh yeah, I get so angry. I'll wait to
see Michael Parsons jump on him. Get angry he gets
then if I was that lineman first play the game,
I'd let Michael Parsons just run by and said, go
get some son, Go get yourself some get yourself a piece.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'm I'm going with. I like the Packers here. Now
you give me the Packers again. I like, look, they've
been in some weird spots last couple weeks. Just like
really really heavy favorites against new backup quarterbacks. It's Aaron
Rodgers versus agreement. Packers like they got to take care
of business. Jordan Love wants to show out in this game.
I like the Packers here.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Everything is aligning for the Chiefs. The stars are falling
into place here for them as they crush shut out
the Las Vegas Raiders. Now they've got Monday night football
against the Commander's team that's most likely without Jayden Daniels.
Already nine and a half point favorites in this game.
Forty eight and a half is the total you get
plus four to ten on the money line for the Commanders.
(24:36):
Marcus Mariota traveling, Look, Casey, I think is going to
whoop on the Commanders. I would lock this one in
now too. This is another early line value for me. Andrew,
Is it for you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, I would take the Chiefs. I think that it's
a good comparison. Would you rather lay the point like
this massive amount of points to the Chiefs or the Colts.
It's like, give me the give me the Chiefs, especially
a nine and a half non conference game. We'd have
to worry about the divisional stuff. Yeah, Daniels doesn't play.
What are you really expecting from Mariota with a banged
up debo? No, Terry mclaurin's it's not a firepower left
(25:08):
on this commander's team. That this has been under manned
basically since the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
It feels like, yep, that's true. So that is Week
eight in a nutshell, a lot of early values. So
make sure you go ahead and sink your sportsbooks for
free download the Betting Pros app and of course you
