Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome to the Favorites from the Action Network.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm your host, Brandon Kravitz, joined by my fellow djens,
your new crew at the Favorites Kendra Middleton, the Prime
Minister of Degenerate Nations Stucky. On today's show, we're going
to submit our official plays for week two in the
NFL Sides, Totals, props, parlays, anything and everything.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Is on the table.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Like and subscribe wherever you are tuned in, Kendra, The
feat conversation from our first episode together as a trio
took on a life of its own. Almost everybody that
I know that reached out to me about the podcast
had something to say about it. How is the reaction
and that's just me. How is the reaction on your
(00:52):
end to our first episode? I imagine some new weird
followers might be in the mix as.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well, so many new strange followers.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
The response that I got was very much, how is
this a conversation that comes up anytime somebody meets you?
Always the first two things that come up are the
feet and the shrimp, the two things that people want
to talk about all the time consistently.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That was the reaction that I got Outside of I.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Don't remember the name. What was the crazy username? I
texted you guys that followed me, and I was just like, wow.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Uh yeah, I think I already blocked that out of
my mind.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Some of the really like, really weird people.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I got some dms asking if people could sniff my
the between of my.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Toes and stuff. But we can. We can move on
from the feed talk somehow. That is always what comes
up with me, though. I guess when you Google me,
it's one of the top things that pops up.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So well, I mean it was it was a get
to know you episode, stucky what about you? Early early
returns from the Trial by Fire episode.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, people liked it so not everyone liked the feet conversation.
But I said that those people are like closeted. Maybe
those the people that really have the fetishes that are
just trying to hide it. But I do have breaking news.
Oh my god. No, they I went and got Zaxby's
this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
They forgot the sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
No, So here's the thing with Zaxby's. You have to
ask for it, you would I have to zack sauce. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You can't not have the sauce. Oh my God, this
is horrible.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yep, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
My before was open at ten thirty recording a ten
to forty five. I flew back and there's no sauce. Wait,
maybe it's in.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I think you need to go back.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
No sauce, so I can't really judge you to call
them next week. I will get the sauce as well,
but no feedback was good overall. My dog is uh
God had of surgery and uh it went okay. He's
he's hurting. It's in a lot of pain after a
CCL surgery. I mean you're like down for the count
(03:03):
for weeks and you're just drugged and it's painful. I've
had two ACL surgery, so I can only imagine. I'm
it wasn't the worst pain I ever had, but it
was close after the surgery A my a cl like
the just the absolute throbbing pain at some point when
the pain killers weren't kicked in. What is the I'll
(03:24):
ask you guys, what is the worst pain that you've
ever felt in your life? For me, I think it
was a tooth absess I had one time, and there
was nothing I could There's nothing you can do about
it until you go to the dentist that night. I
was like screaming into a pillow, was the way. It
was like unfathomable pain. That was the worst I've ever felt.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I would say the hardest.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
The hardest thing about dogs is that you can't explain
to them what's going on, so they're just in pain
and you don't know why, and it makes you really upset.
My dog had got attacked by another dog two Christmases
ago and had to have his throat stapled shut, and
it was like the most like miserable experience ever, just
because he was so sad and I couldn't explain to
him what was going on, and he's just drugged out.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So I am. I empathize with you so hard through
this most I won't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I can't talk about the most painful thing that I've
ever experienced because it was like some lady issues, and
I don't think our audience wants to go through that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
But I will say when my.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Gallbladder ruptured, that was pretty bad because I don't fit
the demographic. I was like seventeen or eighteen, so I
didn't fit the demographic of someone who would have a
gullbladder rupturing. So it took them a while to find it,
and I felt like I was fucking dying.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I can't even imagine at how about you, Graham.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I took TCU plus the points against Georgia in the
National Championship game.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
That was pretty painful. But other than that, I was
a bartender in a.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Past I mean less though you knew it was.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Over, it was like, yeah, it was a quick, swift
punch to the punch.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
To the groin.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I had this nerve pain in my foot, which doesn't
sound that extreme, but anywhere. I was a bartender in
a past life, so I was on my feet a lot,
and then I had this pain like right in the
middle of my foot and trying to stay on your
feet walk back and forth all day and act like
you're not in writhing pain. It was probably, off the
top of my head, the most pain that I've been in.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But I feel for you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
On the dog stuff, I've got a thirteen year old
Mini Australian shepherd who somehow has been hanging on, somehow
been hanging on.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
With with some level of health. So I'm sure, I'm sure,
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Depressing stories are right around the corner from the Crabit's household.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah, was our last dog. I don't know how people
deal with their dog passing like so I've been lucky
enough to never our childhood dog. I was in college
when he passed, so I didn't have to like see
it at the time. Girlfriend's dog now wife, she had
(06:00):
her childhood dog followed. He was a bar dog. He
would go to the bar with her and like he
was the best dog. He's an Austine Shepherd as well.
And at the end, it was he hit the end
of his line and she couldn't see it happen, so
like he went. He went to her parents' house for
like the last two weeks. I was like before they
had to go put him down, and we would just
(06:20):
go there and visit it all the time and lay
with him. But she couldn't see him twenty four hours.
But I wasn't that close to them, like we only
just started dating. So I like the actual like process
of that and driving them to I don't know how
anyone has ever. I don't know how I'm ever going
to deal with it, but yeah we can. Let's talk
about more more painful things, which is uhy still beats.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah exactly, especially on a day like today for all
of us. If you're looking at the date, hard not
to stand out to you for very obvious reasons. So
if we can be a distraction to you, it is
certainly something that we we wear.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
With with some honor.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The Thursday show is going to be pay heavy, and
we're going to start.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
With the shrimply unbelievable stat.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Of the week, courtesy of Action Network Director of Research
Evan Abrams, in collaboration, of course, with Kendra's pets Monica
Lashimsky and Oj Shrimpson. We had to check in on
them for the latest stats. I'm sure that they will
be getting a check from Action any moment now. Detroit
opened is a four and a half point favorite. They're
now out to six against the Chicago Bears. The Lions
(07:28):
looked pretty off last week without Ben Johnson, and now's
the real tests of who's the real engine of that
Detroit offense? Is it Detroit or is it Ben Johnson?
And keep this in mind, the Lions have won and
covered their last ten games after a straight up loss,
including a four to zho stretch against teams inside of
their division. Is that enough to make you and your
(07:50):
pregnant shrimp back the Lions.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Kendra, where are you at?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I'm going to say no, I don't think I want
anything to do with this game, just because I am
so far gone on the Lions this season. You can't
lose both your coordinators and a lot of your staff
under them and continue to be successful. We talked about
this on the Tuesday Show a little bit. I'm just
you can't. Until the Lions show me who they are
this season, I can't put my hard earned American dollar
(08:18):
behind them. And my other thing with Chicago is that
I love Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I really wanted him for the Jags.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I love Liam Cohen as well, But why would they
hire a head coach whose big thing is having a
script for his quarterback and put them put him with
someone like Caleb Williams, who's you know, bread and butter
is the opposite of that. So until these teams kind
of find their footing, until they show me who they are,
I'm not going to listen. I'm not gonna put my
dollar behind them. I just I don't know where this
(08:47):
this game is going to go. I have zero gut feeling,
and I'm a gut feeling better. I just I cannot
I'm not there I feel like.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
This is a really good tease opportunity with that number
still at six, bring that down to pick and pair
it with another that you like, and we can give
some other options.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Stuck, where do you end up landing on this?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, I have nothing as of now. I mean, I
it's not a great spot for the Bears. Right They're
played on Monday night football, going on the road now,
so shorter week, and they have some defensive injuries which
are worth monitoring. A couple of their starting cornerbacks Grady
Jared didn't practice yesterday, so they might be shorthanded defensively,
But I want nothing to do with Detroit. Also, I
(09:28):
mean you look at Tanner Engstram, what he's doing with
the Jets. He was on that staff last year, and
justin fields, that offense looked incredible. Caleb Williams, it's gonna
maybe it never works, but at the bare minimum, based
on what I saw, it's gonna take time. And he
was still inaccurate his off throw target Rave was still
too high. So yeah, look, and this is the story,
(09:50):
guy you just said. Under Dan Campbell rally game after
a loss indoors Jared Goff against the potentially short handed defense,
but that offense, I just don't trust that. The the
interior offensive line way down, the play calling, the like,
just everything was so short. There was no easy button.
So this is pure pass on National revenge weekend. There's
(10:11):
revenge matchups all over Super Bowl revenge, just as a
revenge DK Metcalf against the Steelers. There's a bunch of them.
This one I'm just gonna enjoy. I have Lions win
total under I took some Bears flyers, so I'll be
rooting for the Bears, but I'm passing on this game.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Great tweet by you, by the way, with laying out
all of the revenge narratives this weekend in the NFL,
it's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I did enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I think I also read a stat that will last
week was the first time the Lions hadn't had a
stack in like two or three seasons. I think that
the big thing for Caleb Williams this week, if they're
going to be successful, is you have to get his
confidence up. He has to score first drive, and you
cannot deviate from that plan because what I've noticed with
him is that the second his confidence is gone, that's
(10:56):
when he gets down on himself, he gets down on
his team, he loses his ability to keep his mind
in check. So if you want Caleb Williams to be successful,
he has to score opening drive and you have to
keep his confidence up, even if that's you know, not
calling the game that you want to call to better
suit him. I think that that has to be their
game of attack this week is keeping Caleb Williams mind
(11:16):
in check, making sure that you're giving him easy checkdowns,
all of those types of things, and score opening drive.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, I'm so curious to how it all works with like,
in order to operate the Ben Johnson offense optimally, you
have to understand what he wants to do. Strategic you
that you have to take those easy throws, make those
quick reads. How does how did like they find that
happy balance of like okay, but Caleb Williams some of
what he can do. Yeah, the best is the off
(11:42):
script things. How do they marry those two things? And
maybe it's just they never end up getting married, And
so I'm fascinated to watch how this progresses throughout the season.
But it's not there yet, And I think it's unfair
to think that they would be right right on the
same page in Week one, again the good Vikings defense,
so we'll see how it progresses, and we'll see how
(12:02):
the lines offense progresses without some of their coaches and
their intoier offensive line. So definitely a good data point
early in the season.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
One of the other ones that I saw that came
from Evans phenomenal research the primer, if you have not
made that a part of your weekly routine as a
sports better, you are missing out on valuable information. The
market loves the idea of a shiny new toy toy
coming in and dethroning Patrick Mahomes, unless it's the Super Bowl,
because I believe the betting splits had the Chiefs getting
(12:32):
a lot of money from the betters in terms of
that last Super Bowl. But in the regular season, Mahomes
is closed as a two and a half point favorite
or shorter at home eight times, so a small favorite
or a dog in all eight.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Of those games.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He's never seen a line move in his direction between
open and close. I find that absolutely fascinating that you
have Mahomes is either a short favorite or an underdog,
and money doesn't just pour in from from from the
public or the sharp's enough to move the line in
the direction of the Kansas City Chiefs. And yet again,
(13:07):
if you look at the line and maybe the Jalen
Carterner's news Kendras, he did not get suspended.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
You were right on that one.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, they and they came out with that exit with
with that exact phrasing of well he already served the suspension,
So there you are.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But I find that stat fascinating.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I here's my thing with this game.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I didn't put this down as something that I'm going
to bet, and I wish that I had gotten in
on it a little earlier. But the fact that they're
going to be without you know, potentially exacer' worthy.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
He's been ruled out correct or does it?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
It's not trending in that way that he's going to pay.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I don't think he's like there's a chance he would
play with a brace, but I doubt that they would.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, that's the thing is.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You can you can give me the Patrick Mahomes stats
and narratives and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
They also just traveled back from Brazil.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
That is a tough that's a lot of travel, a
lot more than like just a West coast situation or
you know, in a way after an away game coming
back home.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
That's that's stressful, especially after a loss.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Travis Kelcey is old and distracted and feeling guilty for
injuring Xavier Worthy. He came out on his podcast and
said that there was no excuse for it and that
he felt really bad. Obviously, where she Rice is suspended,
I just without Xavier Worthy, no where she raced. Travis
Kelsey being as old as he is and in his
own head, I just don't see, with how the Eagles
looked last week and the revenge tour that Jalen Carter
(14:26):
is going to be on this week, how they're going
to be able to overcome that even at home.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I disagree. I'm on the Chiefs. I bet the Chiefs.
I'd like, Yes, it's part of it is Mahomes catching
points at home. And he's twelve to two and one
against the spread as an underdog in his career eighty
six percent. A lot of times he's gone up against
teams with better rosters. I mean, how the AFC Championship game,
I had tons of Ravens futures. I'll never forget that game.
(14:54):
The Ravens were better. I think they closed it.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Four and a half five point favorites, and Chiefs did
it again. But they've done it so many times, and
when their roster is shorthanded or they're gone up against
a more talented team, I get it. It's it's very
concerning they're running games concerning their lack of receiving options.
But it feels like a game to me where Mahomes
will just find a way, they'll span the middle of
(15:17):
the field. And the Eagles defense lost a lot, and
there we talked about the Lions coordinator, the Eagles lost
Kellen Moore and that offense. Granted it's one week so
you don't really want to overreact too much, but we
saw this a couple years ago with the Eagles with
a new offense coordinator. It was a disaster and their
(15:37):
offense looked awful. I mean there was no creativity, there
was no innovation. So I'm worried about and maybe a J.
Brown's not fully healthy and you'll have one target, So
I'm worried about the Eagles offense as well. Their defense
is attackable. It feels like a Chiefs classic Chiefs voodoo game.
They just find a way to win on like a
walk off field goal.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It's it's a DeVante Smith game.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
For me.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
That's the only option for them here. He's got to
be the guy.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I just when I look at this Chiefs team and
this Chief's roster and their struggles and everything else, I
still believe in Patrick Mahomes. I think that he is
the second coming of Jesus Christ. I hate their fan base.
I think his family's annoying, whatever, But I think that
they're going through something similar that the Patriots did between
when they won the Super Bowl and what like two
thousand and four and two thousand and five and then
their next super.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Bowl that they won. They need a little bit of retooling.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
They need a little bit of a roster change, a
little bit of turnover just to keep Patrick Mahomes at
the tier that Brady was and keep chasing his numbers.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It's just I have the undergund the Chiefs win total
for the year.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I think that they just need a retooling around Mahomes
to get back to winning super Bowls again.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, who was supposed to work? Who was supposed to
be explosed? This is going to be the explosive offense,
But that was supposed to be Worthy and Rice and
now you're without either, so that's your back to like,
and then your defense isn't as good on the back
ends you're back to like. I got to dink and dunk.
I gotta just hope the play calling is phenomenal and
Mahomes is just on. But I did like him throwing
(17:01):
down the field. He was the least throwing down the
field against the Chargers. Maybe Thornton can have a big day,
but you got to break the tie here, Brandon, is.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
This a jeorgiw Smith game?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have a random prop for you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know if they're gonna even gonna make him available,
But Taekwan Thornton, Patrick Patrick Mahmes took three deep shots
to Taekwon Thornton in the first half of that game
against the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I don't think he connected on any of them.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Maybe it was there was one at the most because
he had six Fantasy points on my bench, it's one
of the reasons I remember that. But it was all
in the first half. They're clearly trying to get the
ball to this guy, and if they're without Xavier Worthy,
well why get away from that?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It would have worked.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It was just you know, a dropped pass or a
slight overthrow from Mahomes. I think they go back to that.
His number, because he's an obscure player, will be crazy low.
So I'd keep an eye on that. I'll break the tie.
I'm on the Chiefs. It was one of the first
bets that I made this week. I also have a
fun one here if if you want to take Kansas
(18:00):
City sixty four and seven straight up since twenty eighteen
after having a lead in the first quarter, it's the
best win percentage of any team in the NFL, including
twenty nine to oh in the last three seasons when
they have a lead after one. So how about this,
Chiefs win the first quarter, Chiefs win the game plus
one forty five. If you want to look at this
(18:20):
a different way, Kendrew.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I was gonna say, I do have a little nugget
as like a look ahead. A little birdie told me
that the Chiefs might be looking at trading for Tyreek Hill.
I could see it, do it, So just a little
bit of a look ahead, maybe like a second of
the seat, second and second half of the season situation.
But it sounds it sounds like that might be a
possibility that could be on the board coming soon.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Would not be great for your season long under right.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
There he's washed. I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I mean, I hope you'll help that based on whatever
they have now. But the Dolphins are gonna blow it
all up. I could so I could see a couple
of their players ending up elsewhere. Is our voice in
the sky, our own personal stapway, have an Abrams, Can
you look up something quickly? I know this is on
the spot because this these are two teams that are
(19:14):
I believe second half under gods. Because once either of
these teams gets a lead, all they want to all
they want to do is I got They'll just try
to hold the ball and go on like twelve minute
drives and they can and that Eagles can do that
run run, little pass, push push, and the Chiefs just
do that now because they only can move three yards
at a time. So these teams are the lead. I
(19:36):
mean we saw that in the Week one with the
Cowboys and Eagles game. Somehow going under what are the
Eagles last We'll say last five years, Eagles and Chiefs
second half unders, they got to be the top two.
I mean, just looking.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Up by quarterback, I feel like is the easiest way to go.
So Mahomes, you know Mahomes is he's seventy two fifty
seven and five career second half under.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
And that was inclined. That was back when he was
explosive too. Though, like correct, I feel like lately Hurts
is good too. I mean forty thirty five and one.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
But let's see, yeah, let's see like last few years
with Mahomes just to get the uh so Owen won
this year ten and nine. See the thing that skews
it all and I remember doing this in twenty three
he was seventeen and three to the second half under,
which skews it all every year of his career basically
around five hundred.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
It's at home usually, I believe the home second half.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Hunders are like twenty nine and twelve or twenty nine
and thirteen last few years. So it's arrowhead where they
usually stop you second half, no points and they in
the game just strangle out the game.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, unreal that pulling that straight from the.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Dome, by the way, impressive, major flex for Ebony.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
He's the voice of God.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You got to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Brock Purty News Kyle Shanahan said that he is a
long shot to play this week and that it's likely
going to be a mole Ti week absence. Ian Rappaport
followed that up and said that Brock Parties expected to
miss two to five weeks with a turf toe variant.
I've never heard of this before. This is like a
Marvel Multiverse injury, a turftoe variant. Looked at PFF dot com,
(21:14):
they do a good job in terms of the UH
spread worthiness of these quarterbacks. He's worth three and a
half points to the spread according to the According to
their database, this line opened at minus seven for San Francisco,
So if you were to bake in that adjustment, that
would make the Niners three and a half point favorites.
Add a sprinkle of George Kittle news and some market
sentiment towards San Francisco, and actually, you know what, scratch
(21:40):
that action is tracking seventy one percent of the tickets
to New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But it does get us to where we're at.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Niners minus three is the side stucky? Are you touching
this one or have you already?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
I'm what I want to bet on this game. It's ugly,
so no one is gonna like this. I said to myself,
if party gets ruled out. What's gonna happen is the
line's gonna drop, and I want neither part of it.
I don't want any part of either side, but I
want to bet the over after the total comes down,
Like can it get into the thirties?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Talking in game or are you talking out pre game?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I just want to see how low it goes. Where
are we at now forty forty and a half? Have
I want to see if we can get into the
thirties because look, the talent for San fran isn't great.
It's Mac Jones, but it's still like a good play
call in Shanahan. It's not a great New Orleans defense.
The Niners defense was basically reset. I like some of
the things that the Saints offense did last week. It's
(22:35):
indoors two good play callers. And the Saints are going fast,
super fast. They were the fastest team Underkelmore. They were
the highest tempo in the league last week. So they're
spreading it out, going a lot eleven personnel and going
fast with tempo. And the Niners, what's their kicking situation
gonna be? Like maybe they're just gonna go forward to
(22:56):
more and fourth downs be a little bit more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But can they sign Eddy Pinero?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Is that how they signed? I haven't even chin Well,
that's a huge upgrade. They won't miss. That's a huge
upgrade over Moody. You missed seven field goals a game.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
The worst throws dart to that man's face at night.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
They held on to him. This is why you never
draft kickers like Vin Terry wasn't drafted, Justin Tucker wasn't
drafted like a lot. You don't waste a third round
draft pick. They they selected Jake Moody in the third
round and that draft was one of the go book
up that draft. There was like Jyu Brown, Cameron Lay
(23:38):
to Robert Beale like nobody. I think de Winters is
like the their best drafting. But their second pick in
that draft was Jake Moody. Insane, don't draft a kicker.
And then they had Anchor By They just held onto
him for so long. So that's an upgrade, but ugly scary.
Who wants to bet Mac Jones Spencer Rattler over nobody.
But if this gets low enough indoors with some tempo,
(23:59):
Shannon and We'll still have some good stuff scripted up.
It's ugly That's what I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I do think you're gonna get into the thirties, Kendra.
Are you excited for the return of the Mac mac joe?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
First of all, you don't drop the kicker unless it's
Cam Little in the sixth round. Never miss an extra point,
high school, college or NFL fun sound rounds Okay? Now? Third,
agree a great second of all turf toe variant sounds
like some d shit.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Three.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I hate Mac Jones with every fiber of my being.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I hate him.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I told you guys, I was gonna let you know
why I hate him. Here is I will t ld
are this for you. One both from Jacksonville. He went
to like the hoity toity rich kid high school and
kicked everybody's ass in football because they recruited all the good.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Talent in town. Two.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I go to Auburn, he goes to Alabama. Three, I
transfer to you and h and he gets drafted by
the Patriots. Four I have to to watch him again
in Jacksonville after Trevor Lawrence gets hurt and watch him
throw more touchdowns to be TJ last season than Trevor Lawrence.
And now he's back in San Francisco. The only other
place I've ever lived that he hasn't that was mine
(25:14):
and now he's there.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Oh, I hate him so much. You have two d uys.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You get caught doing things that you should not do,
that your sister posted on the internet.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I hate him so much. I hate him. I hate him.
He's kicked my ass and every sport ever.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Except for when he was on the Jaguars and then
he forced.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Us to lose all these games because he's hot, garbage,
hot ass. I hate him.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I am I'm going to the Jags forty nine ers
game in San Francisco and I cannot wait to boo
that mf or.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Out of the stadium.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
And you're gonna wear his DUI picture when he when
he was young and he's like crying, uh A smugshot, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Right on his face.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
If he has no haters, I am dead.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I get I'm in the club. I'm in the Mac
Johns hater. I have a hilarious story. I don't know
how many people know this. When Matt before Mac Jones
committed to Alabama, he was committed to Kentucky and at
the time I was dating my wife who went to
University Kentucky. But it was much older than Mac Jones.
She's I don't know. At the time, mac Jones was
(26:17):
visiting Kentucky. This is twenty fifteen. I think he was
visiting Kentucky and he slid into my wife's DMS while
I was dating her. She was twenty fifteen, so she
was twenty five and he was in high school and
he slid into her DM saying like stop what you do.
(26:38):
I didn't know or just said to stup what you're
doing tonight. He was in high school track and my
wife showed me. I didn't even know who he was
at the time. I knew he like it was a
high recruit. And then he ended up going to Alabama
and I used to love fading him when he was
in college because he was slid into my wife's DM.
So put me on board of So maybe we should
(26:58):
bet that the Saints. I'm in Maybe the Saints is
the grouper.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Bet and his what's his pick line at his odds
to throw an interception?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I'm down for that.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
That might be I might take the over on whatever,
because I think that that is my Mac Jones revenge tour.
I'm going to bet be over on all of his
interceptions all season.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think that's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Because here's the problem, Okay, I do have to bring
us back to earth a little bit. We cannot back
the Saints right We can't back the Saints right now
because the public is getting crushed early on in this season.
The Saints are getting seventy one percent of the bets.
The Saints are terrible. Okay, I know it's Mac Jones,
and I'm with you. Hey, if you fuck with Kendra
and you fuck with Stucky, you fuck with me too. Okay,
(27:44):
I'm with you, guys, but I cannot be on the
side of seventy one percent of the bets on an
awful team. The forty nine ers are still good enough
roster wise to win this football game, and win this
football game by more than a field golf with you
on the pick, let's find the number on that.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Laying three with Sam fran just I'm looking for the
over I'm gonna be I'll probably be. I gott all
care if the public, if I'm side with the public
on some games, but I might be the only person
in the country that that's the over in this game.
Very well, good, Yeah, it sounds like you were talking
about paining. We were talking about pain. That might be
the most painful thing that I ever endure trying to
(28:22):
watch that game and rooting to get into the forties.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I would rather be on. It's more. I'm very much
an under better in comparison.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Same I hate betting overs regardless. Now I've got a
betting over with Rattler and Jones, but.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
That shit hits like crack, like cheering for an over
and cheering for scores hits.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So, speaking of the public stat that was shared via
Evan Abrams, the public went three and thirteen against the
spread last week. It was the worst Week one mark
in the NFL since Week five, or it was the
worst mark that the public had and since Week five
of twenty twenty two, the worst week one in twenty
two years of action Networks database teams with sixty percent
(29:05):
of the tickets.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm just gonna rattle these off.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
This is not a don't bet, this is a buyer
beware on the following teams. The vikings against the Falcons,
the Saints, as we've just talked about against the forty
nine ers, the Titans, Stuckey, I know that's one of
yours as well, seventy percent of the bets on the
Titans going up against the Rams, the Pittsburgh Steelers, they're
always a heavily bet public team sixty two percent, and
(29:27):
the Panthers, so I think we're gonna have sold to
us in a moment. Sixty two percent of the bets
against the Arizona Cardinals. So let's use that as a
launch pad to nominate a player too and see if
we can find some general consensus on the board and
eventually land on the cheesiest named parlay I could possibly
come up with. We're gonna call this the three Musketeers,
(29:50):
all for one and one for all. Eh, you guys
with me?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
That is such a Dodd joke. I think that we
should public leach game right now.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Bring it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That was rough, but a right, We're roll with it, okay,
all right, you know, hey, look, I'll take submissions.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But yeah, I have been working on my dad jokes
over the last five years.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So if I hit you, I should have played this.
I have that horn.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
This is just the beginning, folks, just the beginning.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I like the Jets plus six and a half, stucky,
slightly jealous of you you picked up the seven a
few days ago.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Wish I had gotten in on them a little bit earlier.
But this team runs the ball really well.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Buffalo clearly struggled in that area on Sunday night. Yes,
they won the game. They came back heroic fashion, YadA YadA.
They give up two hundred and thirty eight yards on
the ground to the Baltimore Ravens. Their secondaries beat up
as well. So I think Justin Fields can have some
success in this game home dogs of seven or more.
And this doesn't exactly qualify because I'm taking a six
(30:50):
and a half, but just to give you an idea
of the range eighteen to one and two against the
spread over the last three years in the beginning portions
of the season, first half of the I like the
Jets plus six and a half. I'll stop there, are
you guys sold on the Jets plus the number?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Or should I continue?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
I'm in on the Jets personally. May maybe a little
hangover for the Bills. I liked what I saw from Engstam.
I like what I saw from Fields like I didn't
know what that office is going to look like. The
offensive line is so improved, their tackles, Membu, the rookie
twenty six pass protection STAPs, nothing, no pressures, and he
went against Watt and that passerrush. So really liked what
(31:32):
I saw from the offensive line. And yeah, that Bill's
defense has issues right now, Like they're safeties. There a problem,
there's injuries at corner the Rundies, so asking them to
win by margin the road divisional game. I'm in on the.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Jets, Kendra.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I want to be in on the Jets. I just
once again.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Need to see their identity a little bit. I definitely
agree with Stucky's thing the other day about Justin Fields
maybe being the guy we see to be like the
Gino Smith, Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield type.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I have been chasing that high for him.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I thought that was going to be him in Pittsburgh
and that wasn't so I can't. I feel like I
no longer have the cards to play to say that
he's going to maybe be in the running for that
conversation again. But I just worry about Josh Allen being
able to expose the Jets secondary. I will say their
run game looked a lot better than I expected last week.
I just think that the Bills are way too deep
(32:22):
Bills year that you just can't convince me to bet
against the Bills out all this entire season.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I think that out of every team in the NFL,
they have the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
If there was to be a team to be perfect
and go seventeen to O this year, it's them.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Okay, well, we need consensus on this, so I'm going
to move on to the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys
minus five and a half against the Giants. They wreck
NFC East opponents that they face. I think the Giants
are still pretty awful. So when you add in the
extended rest as well smash spot for the Dallas Cowboys,
can I get some consensus?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yes, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
That is one of my bets that I gave out
this week, the Dallas Cowboys. I'm higher on the Giants
than I think a lot of people are this year,
but not until day replace Russ with Jackson Dart. I
am on the Jackson Dart train, been here since he
was at old Miss Love Jackson Dart. One of the
most disappointing bets I ever lost in my life was
when I got in early on him for Heisman odds
(33:18):
and then he kind of shited the bed last yearly
in the season. But I really think that the Giants
have done a decent job at adding depths and drafting.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I just don't think.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
That the coaching situation is doing anybody any favors. Jackson
Dart's got to be the guy. It's got to be
Dallas or nothing for me this week, I.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Can't get there. But I can't. I'm not betting the Giants.
I'll tell you that, Yeah, I need them to change Ross.
Ross was awful, and there's to build your case. Neighbors
might not be fully healthy. Wanda Robinson didn't practice yesterday.
Is Andrew Thomas going to be back? Like the line
is bad, but when he's out, it's just a disaster.
I know Parsons isn't there, but and Dak's really good
(33:58):
as a favorite. He can pull up those numbers. What
is Dak is like a six plus point favorite? Usually
pretty good, like I think, And part of that is
that they'll get a lead and then their defense historic
has been able to be aggressive and then you know
a kind of snowballs. But maybe that's not the case
anymore without Parsons. But they're gonna get pressure. It's this
(34:20):
Giants offensive line So if I were if I was
choosing between the two, I would go Jets and Kendrick
Wild go Cowboys. So we'll do one of them.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
And then how about this.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So to add to the Dak impressive in these situations
seventy one percent over the course of his career ats
against the NFC East.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
This is what he does.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
He covers what is Dak as a favorite?
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Yeah, closes well, closing six or more as a favorite
thirty one, fifteen and one, which just feels stupid in
itself as that big of a favorite, especially on the
closing line as a favorite just itself fifty to thirty
nine and two, so pretty good.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
That is dumb numbers. That's like Lamar. Lamar first half
numbers are dumb fifty nine, thirty four and two against
the spread sixty.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
The crazy thing with Lamar first half is Flacco's second,
so it's like mostly John.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Yep, that's true. But the crazy thing even as a
favorite of six plus in the first half, Lamar twelve
three and one against the spread and he's covered by
a field goal game when he's favored by like a
touchdown in the first half, it's that shock of the
speed is part of it and then the hardball effect two.
So all right, how are we going to choose? Then?
(35:33):
How are we breaking this tie?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Well?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I think because we well, yeah, because there's two, we
have two thirds. We're only on one person right now.
So Evan, you're you're officially in. You're breaking the tie.
Are we putting the Cowboys minus the points or the
Jets plus the points into the not named three most
Keteers parlay?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
I like the Jets. I mean I already bet the Jets.
I put in the ap myself. I had it at seven,
So I'm a Jets guy this week. I like the
Giants way too much. That defensive lines can cause havoc.
I mean, even with the injuries, you assume neighbors will
play like Jets.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
The Jets are in.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Let's move to Stucky sell us on one of your
plays for this week that we can get in there
as the favorites, parlay.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Does that to be on Sunday? Or are we on Monday?
Are we keeping it to the Sunday?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I don't think Yeah, I don't think it matters.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
All right, let's go Atlanta plus three and a half
Sunday night. It looks like Mooney and London are going
to play. That's important. Pennick's faredwell against the Blitz last
week against Bowls, that's important against Flores, the Vikings, short
week off a big win, a couple defensive injuries. And
I'm not fully sold on McCarthy. And I know somehow
(36:39):
NFC offensive Player of the Week, but for three quarters
it looked awful. And he was going against the Bear's
na without their top two corners, without a starting lineback,
and like, it didn't look great. And yeah, eventually he
got there, but it was with Justin Jefferson, a good
offensive line, and I know he was without his left tackle.
Might be back this week. But the Falcons anything over
a field goal here, rookie quarterback on the road, you
(37:02):
got an extra day of wrest and prepp. You should
have your receivers. And look, they should have won that
game last week. They were plus seven percent net success, right,
they dropped like three picks. Their zones were really good.
Macarth's gonnaee a lot more zone than he did last week.
Might force the ball, some couple of balls to Jefferson,
make a mistake. I'm in on the Falcons plus three
(37:22):
and a half. Brandon agree. Disagree.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I'm in. I'm in on that.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I kind of like the idea of continuing the fade
of these really strong public favorites. Last year was such
a heavy public success year that you could kind of
see this reversing course going into twenty twenty five. It's
already happened in pretty dramatic fashion. And then you have
JJ McCarthy back to back night starts for a quarterback
(37:48):
making his debut and he was a darling.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I mean, come on, this is obvious. This has crashed
back down to Earth written all over it. I'm in.
I like getting the three in the hook.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
All right. Well, my favorite bet before I get Kendra's thoughts,
because you're probably not gonna like this, because no one
is probably gonna like this is the Texans. Who wants
to bet the Texans is a favorite? Apparently me? But
that's my favorite. Be that's on Monday Night. Anything under three.
Last week was a mess offensively, but you have to
understand that before the game they ruled their guard out
(38:18):
with an abdomen injury. Hopefully he's back this week, and
he was really good in the preseason ingram. They removed him.
That changed three positions around and throughout the game. They
had seven or five or six different combinations. They had
like all these guys playing tackle. Then they had two injuries.
There was no way it was going to be functional.
So no matter what this week, I think Ingram be back,
(38:38):
that'll allow Howard go to tackle, and I think Patterson
at safety for Andrews is even better. But they'll get
a week to practice with it. Like they went into
the game game day and then had to switch up
their entire offensive three positions and then had two injuries.
It was a disaster, So it won't look that bad.
The Bucks defense is bad. They got lucky last week.
Their offensive line is a mess. They got their center
playing tackle, their guard playing center because Wurfs is out,
(39:00):
they're missing mcmill and Godwin. Still, Baker should have thrown
like three or four picks last week. They got very fortunate.
Texans get it done that defense at home. I'm trusting
them and Stroud the bounce back with a more stable
offensive line. So Texans minus two and a half, Falcons
plus three and a half. My favorite two bets, I
won't make you guys. Bet the Titans, Kenjre, You're you're
(39:21):
going to make the decision here.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
I'm more likely to be with you on the Texans
than the Falcons after what I've seen from young Waku
in his career in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
There's no way you're going to get me to back
him on.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
He might not be kicking, they might.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
They might have a and Pennick's touchdowns only, okay, and
we're going for two.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
It's not that I'm high on the Texans this year.
It's that I'm high on the Bucks having a slow start.
You could tell that they were missing Liam Cohen last week,
that their offense is getting old, that it's getting stale,
that the injuries certainly have hit them in the preseason.
Guys need to come back, need to get healthy. Like
you said, their offensive line is a mess. It's not
that I'm high on the Texans. It's just truly that
I think if the Bucks are going to have a
(40:02):
good season, it's going to take them a minute to
get into the flow of the season because so much has.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Changed for them.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
And you know, Baker Mayfield has had so many different
offensive coordinators throughout his career. I think that he's due for,
maybe like the right to have a little bit of
a slow start after this turnaround we've seen from him.
I think that they're going to be fine shit division,
and I think that it's theirs to lose. But the
Texans are good, They're good coached, they draft really well.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
They need to win.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
They also earn an ass division, but a less ass division,
so they've got to get wins where they can get them.
I think they have to take advantage of this year
at home. I would be more likely to be with
you on the Texans.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
All right, Well, I guess this is Evan Abrams podcast.
I might I might use Sennori here and just call it,
but do you have a preference. I don't.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
I'm going to allow you guys to take it. I
really don't care about it.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
All right, I'm signed with Kenju. We're going to Texans.
So Texans minus two and a half and Jets where
we're at plus six and a half is the best
price available right now? Are there any sevenths left?
Speaker 1 (41:02):
I don't see any sevens out there.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
No seven? Okay, we'll go six and a half.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
And so I hinted to this on a Tuesday show
that I am behind the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I know that it's ugly.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
I know nobody likes it. But I have some information
for you guys. But before I give you this information,
who do you think is better or worse? The Saints
or the Carolina Panthers. The Saints, but you think the
Saints are better than the Panthers.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
No, no, no, I think the Panthers are better than
the Saints.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Okay exactly.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
And last week who struggled against the Saints The Arizona Cardinals.
Last year, in the matchup between the Panthers and the Cardinals,
the Cardinals beat Arizona thirty six thirty in that overtime
matchup that knocked Arizona out of playoff contention. The Panthers
are fifteen and six against Arizona all time, and the
Panthers are six and two on the road in Arizona
(42:01):
in that all time matchup. In that game last season,
Chewba Hubbard ran for one hundred and fifty two yards
and had two touchdowns and Bryce Young threw for two
touchdowns and rushed for another. For some reason, the Panthers
have their number them getting this big of a spread.
I absolutely think that the Panthers are to play here.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
My issue with this one is I think the Panthers
are running out of wide receivers and they already traded
Adam Thielen Jalen Coker just hit the ir hunter Renfros
on the injury report already.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
He just got to the team.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
He had a monster catch.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Last week though in te Roald McMillan like Heed, but
he can't do it all himself.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
I just think they are they're a little too depleted
right now for me to back them. I have a
hard time. I have a really hard time getting behind
this one.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Thank you. Kuanu also back.
Speaker 5 (42:47):
That would be that would be helpful because his backup
was was bad. Yosh the ex packer. Yeah, the weapons
scare me a little bit. Also that the Panthers at
their defense is void of talent, so they're just running
this like basic cover three and then that's usually that's
not good against Murray and McBride. I am curious about this,
(43:08):
so I don't think I can get there. Like it
does make sense. It's like they looked awful. I mean,
if you look back historically, teams off of double digit
I think Evan probably has this. Teams off of double
digit losses that are dogs in Week two probably have
hit around like sixty sixty five percent, And yeah, like,
(43:30):
how about a team that didn't cover in week one
on the road versus a team that did twenty two
and twelve against the spread sixty five percent last ten years.
So like it makes sense, like buying low. You don't
want to overreact in week one. You want to stick
more to your priors. Like that's it's just one data
point you have to remember. But the total does feel
a little low because you just mentioned that game it
(43:53):
was thirty.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Six thirty you said, yeah, but it was also an
overtime game.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
Yeah, but so like there was still sixty points in regulation.
Now this total, and that total was like forty six
forty seven the US it was forty three and a
half indoors. I get the Panthers offense a little beat up,
but I don't know. That total seems a little bit
low for me. But why which what's your other one before.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
We the also fun fact, this is the matchup between
the two smallest quarterbacks that we've ever had ever so for.
Speaker 5 (44:23):
Post Super Bowl there was one in like the fifties
with like.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Yeah, yeah, remember him.
Speaker 4 (44:29):
I also told you guys that I am gonna back
Miami this week I'm still there. McDaniel's job watch must
win in a week to to and never loses to
the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Must win. And the thing is that it's a divisional game.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
They have to consider one Miami in September Tough we
talked about there's really no home field advantage outside of
the fact that it's the weather and New Englanders and
people who like play up here, there's no shot they're
going to be able to survive it. When you spend
an entire summer working in a New England summer environment
and compare into a Florida summer environment, I don't care
(45:02):
where you're from. Will Campbell even has struggled up here,
and he's from down south and it's not even that
hot in comparison. I thought, so, here's the thing for me,
here's the big question. Mark Gonzalez was posting. Christian Gonzalez
was posting on his Instagram like he was gonna play
this week, but the rumors coming out from the team
or that he's not, so I don't really know what
(45:23):
to expect there. When comparing the position groups, quarterback basically
a wash, I would give the edge of running back
to the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
With the secondary being injured, Tyreek.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
And Jalen Waddall obviously far superior to anything or the
Patriots have coaching.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
I probably go Rabel, but I.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
Give the edge to Miami here and they're still running
the fullback in today's NFL shout out alec Engeld on Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
I'm behind Miami this week.
Speaker 5 (45:49):
Look, I pride myself on betting the ugliest all. I
mean my college football bets this week, and are like
the worst teams in the country, and I bet some ugly's,
but I'm addicted to bend the Titans.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (46:01):
I don't have many, uh healthy habits, and that's most unhealthy.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
But this is ugly.
Speaker 5 (46:08):
I mean. Yeah, So I'm like the Panthers and the Dolphins.
So I like that You're you're trying to buy the
teams that looked awful last week. I cannot put any
money or recommend anybody put any money behind the Dolphins
right now, given the state of their offensive line, the
(46:29):
state it seems like everything in the back, like everything
could just explode, Like they could just be arguing on
the sidelines the ten minutes into this game. Their secondary
is a disaster. There's all kinds of injuries. They've all
these guys that just brought on that are like they're
relying on to pick up the defense. So what are
they doing. They're just blitzing everyone like that's just what
they're doing because they don't trust anyone in the back end.
And to a looked awful last week. I don't know
as he can cost again, I don't know he could.
(46:51):
He wasn't just system quarterback. He's been in the system
for years. He looked like he did was the first
time ever run in the system. So I'm voting by
far easily. I can't go. I'm voting for the Panthers
plus six and a half.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
I will say, Kendrew, your your mindset on the Miami
Dolphins is a winning.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Profitable mindset. This game in particular can't do it. So
I'm with you. Let's go with the Panthers plus the
six and a half.
Speaker 4 (47:20):
Quarterering you guys into betting on the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 5 (47:24):
That was very strategic. That was that was a ploy, alright,
the only other one, only other team. I really don't
want to that default Panthers in the parlor.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Well, I really just put a gun to both of
your heads and was like, choose between two shitty options.
Speaker 5 (47:44):
Perfect execution, very well done.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
The official All Favorites all day parlay.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Texans minus two and a half, Jets plus six and
a half, and the Panthers plus six and a half.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Do we may not make it on here?

Welcome to the Favorites from the Action Network.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm your host, Brandon Kravitz, joined by my fellow djens,
your new crew at the Favorites Kendra Middleton, the Prime
Minister of Degenerate Nations Stucky. On today's show, we're going
to submit our official plays for week two in the
NFL Sides, Totals, props, parlays, anything and everything.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Is on the table.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Like and subscribe wherever you are tuned in, Kendra, The
feat conversation from our first episode together as a trio
took on a life of its own. Almost everybody that
I know that reached out to me about the podcast
had something to say about it. How is the reaction
and that's just me. How is the reaction on your
(00:52):
end to our first episode? I imagine some new weird
followers might be in the mix as.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well, so many new strange followers.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
The response that I got was very much, how is
this a conversation that comes up anytime somebody meets you?
Always the first two things that come up are the
feet and the shrimp, the two things that people want
to talk about all the time consistently.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That was the reaction that I got Outside of I.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Don't remember the name. What was the crazy username? I
texted you guys that followed me, and I was just like, wow.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Uh yeah, I think I already blocked that out of
my mind.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Some of the really like, really weird people.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I got some dms asking if people could sniff my
the between of my.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Toes and stuff. But we can. We can move on
from the feed talk somehow. That is always what comes
up with me, though. I guess when you Google me,
it's one of the top things that pops up.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So well, I mean it was it was a get
to know you episode, stucky what about you? Early early
returns from the Trial by Fire episode.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, people liked it so not everyone liked the feet conversation.
But I said that those people are like closeted. Maybe
those the people that really have the fetishes that are
just trying to hide it. But I do have breaking news.
Oh my god. No, they I went and got Zaxby's
this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
They forgot the sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
No, So here's the thing with Zaxby's. You have to
ask for it, you would I have to zack sauce. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You can't not have the sauce. Oh my God, this
is horrible.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yep, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
My before was open at ten thirty recording a ten
to forty five. I flew back and there's no sauce. Wait,
maybe it's in.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I think you need to go back.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
No sauce, so I can't really judge you to call
them next week. I will get the sauce as well,
but no feedback was good overall. My dog is uh
God had of surgery and uh it went okay. He's
he's hurting. It's in a lot of pain after a
CCL surgery. I mean you're like down for the count
(03:03):
for weeks and you're just drugged and it's painful. I've
had two ACL surgery, so I can only imagine. I'm
it wasn't the worst pain I ever had, but it
was close after the surgery A my a cl like
the just the absolute throbbing pain at some point when
the pain killers weren't kicked in. What is the I'll
(03:24):
ask you guys, what is the worst pain that you've
ever felt in your life? For me, I think it
was a tooth absess I had one time, and there
was nothing I could There's nothing you can do about
it until you go to the dentist that night. I
was like screaming into a pillow, was the way. It
was like unfathomable pain. That was the worst I've ever felt.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I would say the hardest.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
The hardest thing about dogs is that you can't explain
to them what's going on, so they're just in pain
and you don't know why, and it makes you really upset.
My dog had got attacked by another dog two Christmases
ago and had to have his throat stapled shut, and
it was like the most like miserable experience ever, just
because he was so sad and I couldn't explain to
him what was going on, and he's just drugged out.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So I am. I empathize with you so hard through
this most I won't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I can't talk about the most painful thing that I've
ever experienced because it was like some lady issues, and
I don't think our audience wants to go through that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
But I will say when my.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Gallbladder ruptured, that was pretty bad because I don't fit
the demographic. I was like seventeen or eighteen, so I
didn't fit the demographic of someone who would have a
gullbladder rupturing. So it took them a while to find it,
and I felt like I was fucking dying.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I can't even imagine at how about you, Graham.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I took TCU plus the points against Georgia in the
National Championship game.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
That was pretty painful. But other than that, I was
a bartender in a.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Past I mean less though you knew it was.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Over, it was like, yeah, it was a quick, swift
punch to the punch.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
To the groin.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I had this nerve pain in my foot, which doesn't
sound that extreme, but anywhere. I was a bartender in
a past life, so I was on my feet a lot,
and then I had this pain like right in the
middle of my foot and trying to stay on your
feet walk back and forth all day and act like
you're not in writhing pain. It was probably, off the
top of my head, the most pain that I've been in.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But I feel for you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
On the dog stuff, I've got a thirteen year old
Mini Australian shepherd who somehow has been hanging on, somehow
been hanging on.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
With with some level of health. So I'm sure, I'm sure,
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Depressing stories are right around the corner from the Crabit's household.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah, was our last dog. I don't know how people
deal with their dog passing like so I've been lucky
enough to never our childhood dog. I was in college
when he passed, so I didn't have to like see
it at the time. Girlfriend's dog now wife, she had
(06:00):
her childhood dog followed. He was a bar dog. He
would go to the bar with her and like he
was the best dog. He's an Austine Shepherd as well.
And at the end, it was he hit the end
of his line and she couldn't see it happen, so
like he went. He went to her parents' house for
like the last two weeks. I was like before they
had to go put him down, and we would just
(06:20):
go there and visit it all the time and lay
with him. But she couldn't see him twenty four hours.
But I wasn't that close to them, like we only
just started dating. So I like the actual like process
of that and driving them to I don't know how
anyone has ever. I don't know how I'm ever going
to deal with it, but yeah we can. Let's talk
about more more painful things, which is uhy still beats.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah exactly, especially on a day like today for all
of us. If you're looking at the date, hard not
to stand out to you for very obvious reasons. So
if we can be a distraction to you, it is
certainly something that we we wear.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
With with some honor.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The Thursday show is going to be pay heavy, and
we're going to start.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
With the shrimply unbelievable stat.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Of the week, courtesy of Action Network Director of Research
Evan Abrams, in collaboration, of course, with Kendra's pets Monica
Lashimsky and Oj Shrimpson. We had to check in on
them for the latest stats. I'm sure that they will
be getting a check from Action any moment now. Detroit
opened is a four and a half point favorite. They're
now out to six against the Chicago Bears. The Lions
(07:28):
looked pretty off last week without Ben Johnson, and now's
the real tests of who's the real engine of that
Detroit offense? Is it Detroit or is it Ben Johnson?
And keep this in mind, the Lions have won and
covered their last ten games after a straight up loss,
including a four to zho stretch against teams inside of
their division. Is that enough to make you and your
(07:50):
pregnant shrimp back the Lions.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Kendra, where are you at?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I'm going to say no, I don't think I want
anything to do with this game, just because I am
so far gone on the Lions this season. You can't
lose both your coordinators and a lot of your staff
under them and continue to be successful. We talked about
this on the Tuesday Show a little bit. I'm just
you can't. Until the Lions show me who they are
this season, I can't put my hard earned American dollar
(08:18):
behind them. And my other thing with Chicago is that
I love Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I really wanted him for the Jags.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I love Liam Cohen as well, But why would they
hire a head coach whose big thing is having a
script for his quarterback and put them put him with
someone like Caleb Williams, who's you know, bread and butter
is the opposite of that. So until these teams kind
of find their footing, until they show me who they are,
I'm not going to listen. I'm not gonna put my
dollar behind them. I just I don't know where this
(08:47):
this game is going to go. I have zero gut feeling,
and I'm a gut feeling better. I just I cannot
I'm not there I feel like.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
This is a really good tease opportunity with that number
still at six, bring that down to pick and pair
it with another that you like, and we can give
some other options.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Stuck, where do you end up landing on this?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, I have nothing as of now. I mean, I
it's not a great spot for the Bears. Right They're
played on Monday night football, going on the road now,
so shorter week, and they have some defensive injuries which
are worth monitoring. A couple of their starting cornerbacks Grady
Jared didn't practice yesterday, so they might be shorthanded defensively,
But I want nothing to do with Detroit. Also, I
(09:28):
mean you look at Tanner Engstram, what he's doing with
the Jets. He was on that staff last year, and
justin fields, that offense looked incredible. Caleb Williams, it's gonna
maybe it never works, but at the bare minimum, based
on what I saw, it's gonna take time. And he
was still inaccurate his off throw target Rave was still
too high. So yeah, look, and this is the story,
(09:50):
guy you just said. Under Dan Campbell rally game after
a loss indoors Jared Goff against the potentially short handed defense,
but that offense, I just don't trust that. The the
interior offensive line way down, the play calling, the like,
just everything was so short. There was no easy button.
So this is pure pass on National revenge weekend. There's
(10:11):
revenge matchups all over Super Bowl revenge, just as a
revenge DK Metcalf against the Steelers. There's a bunch of them.
This one I'm just gonna enjoy. I have Lions win
total under I took some Bears flyers, so I'll be
rooting for the Bears, but I'm passing on this game.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Great tweet by you, by the way, with laying out
all of the revenge narratives this weekend in the NFL,
it's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I did enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I think I also read a stat that will last
week was the first time the Lions hadn't had a
stack in like two or three seasons. I think that
the big thing for Caleb Williams this week, if they're
going to be successful, is you have to get his
confidence up. He has to score first drive, and you
cannot deviate from that plan because what I've noticed with
him is that the second his confidence is gone, that's
(10:56):
when he gets down on himself, he gets down on
his team, he loses his ability to keep his mind
in check. So if you want Caleb Williams to be successful,
he has to score opening drive and you have to
keep his confidence up, even if that's you know, not
calling the game that you want to call to better
suit him. I think that that has to be their
game of attack this week is keeping Caleb Williams mind
(11:16):
in check, making sure that you're giving him easy checkdowns,
all of those types of things, and score opening drive.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, I'm so curious to how it all works with like,
in order to operate the Ben Johnson offense optimally, you
have to understand what he wants to do. Strategic you
that you have to take those easy throws, make those
quick reads. How does how did like they find that
happy balance of like okay, but Caleb Williams some of
what he can do. Yeah, the best is the off
(11:42):
script things. How do they marry those two things? And
maybe it's just they never end up getting married, And
so I'm fascinated to watch how this progresses throughout the season.
But it's not there yet, And I think it's unfair
to think that they would be right right on the
same page in Week one, again the good Vikings defense,
so we'll see how it progresses, and we'll see how
(12:02):
the lines offense progresses without some of their coaches and
their intoier offensive line. So definitely a good data point
early in the season.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
One of the other ones that I saw that came
from Evans phenomenal research the primer, if you have not
made that a part of your weekly routine as a
sports better, you are missing out on valuable information. The
market loves the idea of a shiny new toy toy
coming in and dethroning Patrick Mahomes, unless it's the Super Bowl,
because I believe the betting splits had the Chiefs getting
(12:32):
a lot of money from the betters in terms of
that last Super Bowl. But in the regular season, Mahomes
is closed as a two and a half point favorite
or shorter at home eight times, so a small favorite
or a dog in all eight.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Of those games.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He's never seen a line move in his direction between
open and close. I find that absolutely fascinating that you
have Mahomes is either a short favorite or an underdog,
and money doesn't just pour in from from from the
public or the sharp's enough to move the line in
the direction of the Kansas City Chiefs. And yet again,
(13:07):
if you look at the line and maybe the Jalen
Carterner's news Kendras, he did not get suspended.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
You were right on that one.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, they and they came out with that exit with
with that exact phrasing of well he already served the suspension,
So there you are.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But I find that stat fascinating.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I here's my thing with this game.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I didn't put this down as something that I'm going
to bet, and I wish that I had gotten in
on it a little earlier. But the fact that they're
going to be without you know, potentially exacer' worthy.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
He's been ruled out correct or does it?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
It's not trending in that way that he's going to pay.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I don't think he's like there's a chance he would
play with a brace, but I doubt that they would.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, that's the thing is.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You can you can give me the Patrick Mahomes stats
and narratives and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
They also just traveled back from Brazil.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
That is a tough that's a lot of travel, a
lot more than like just a West coast situation or
you know, in a way after an away game coming
back home.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
That's that's stressful, especially after a loss.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Travis Kelcey is old and distracted and feeling guilty for
injuring Xavier Worthy. He came out on his podcast and
said that there was no excuse for it and that
he felt really bad. Obviously, where she Rice is suspended,
I just without Xavier Worthy, no where she raced. Travis
Kelsey being as old as he is and in his
own head, I just don't see, with how the Eagles
looked last week and the revenge tour that Jalen Carter
(14:26):
is going to be on this week, how they're going
to be able to overcome that even at home.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I disagree. I'm on the Chiefs. I bet the Chiefs.
I'd like, Yes, it's part of it is Mahomes catching
points at home. And he's twelve to two and one
against the spread as an underdog in his career eighty
six percent. A lot of times he's gone up against
teams with better rosters. I mean, how the AFC Championship game,
I had tons of Ravens futures. I'll never forget that game.
(14:54):
The Ravens were better. I think they closed it.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Four and a half five point favorites, and Chiefs did
it again. But they've done it so many times, and
when their roster is shorthanded or they're gone up against
a more talented team, I get it. It's it's very
concerning they're running games concerning their lack of receiving options.
But it feels like a game to me where Mahomes
will just find a way, they'll span the middle of
(15:17):
the field. And the Eagles defense lost a lot, and
there we talked about the Lions coordinator, the Eagles lost
Kellen Moore and that offense. Granted it's one week so
you don't really want to overreact too much, but we
saw this a couple years ago with the Eagles with
a new offense coordinator. It was a disaster and their
(15:37):
offense looked awful. I mean there was no creativity, there
was no innovation. So I'm worried about and maybe a J.
Brown's not fully healthy and you'll have one target, So
I'm worried about the Eagles offense as well. Their defense
is attackable. It feels like a Chiefs classic Chiefs voodoo game.
They just find a way to win on like a
walk off field goal.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It's it's a DeVante Smith game.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
For me.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
That's the only option for them here. He's got to
be the guy.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I just when I look at this Chiefs team and
this Chief's roster and their struggles and everything else, I
still believe in Patrick Mahomes. I think that he is
the second coming of Jesus Christ. I hate their fan base.
I think his family's annoying, whatever, But I think that
they're going through something similar that the Patriots did between
when they won the Super Bowl and what like two
thousand and four and two thousand and five and then
their next super.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Bowl that they won. They need a little bit of retooling.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
They need a little bit of a roster change, a
little bit of turnover just to keep Patrick Mahomes at
the tier that Brady was and keep chasing his numbers.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It's just I have the undergund the Chiefs win total
for the year.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I think that they just need a retooling around Mahomes
to get back to winning super Bowls again.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, who was supposed to work? Who was supposed to
be explosed? This is going to be the explosive offense,
But that was supposed to be Worthy and Rice and
now you're without either, so that's your back to like,
and then your defense isn't as good on the back
ends you're back to like. I got to dink and dunk.
I gotta just hope the play calling is phenomenal and
Mahomes is just on. But I did like him throwing
(17:01):
down the field. He was the least throwing down the
field against the Chargers. Maybe Thornton can have a big day,
but you got to break the tie here, Brandon, is.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
This a jeorgiw Smith game?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have a random prop for you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know if they're gonna even gonna make him available,
But Taekwan Thornton, Patrick Patrick Mahmes took three deep shots
to Taekwon Thornton in the first half of that game
against the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I don't think he connected on any of them.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Maybe it was there was one at the most because
he had six Fantasy points on my bench, it's one
of the reasons I remember that. But it was all
in the first half. They're clearly trying to get the
ball to this guy, and if they're without Xavier Worthy,
well why get away from that?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It would have worked.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It was just you know, a dropped pass or a
slight overthrow from Mahomes. I think they go back to that.
His number, because he's an obscure player, will be crazy low.
So I'd keep an eye on that. I'll break the tie.
I'm on the Chiefs. It was one of the first
bets that I made this week. I also have a
fun one here if if you want to take Kansas
(18:00):
City sixty four and seven straight up since twenty eighteen
after having a lead in the first quarter, it's the
best win percentage of any team in the NFL, including
twenty nine to oh in the last three seasons when
they have a lead after one. So how about this,
Chiefs win the first quarter, Chiefs win the game plus
one forty five. If you want to look at this
(18:20):
a different way, Kendrew.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I was gonna say, I do have a little nugget
as like a look ahead. A little birdie told me
that the Chiefs might be looking at trading for Tyreek Hill.
I could see it, do it, So just a little
bit of a look ahead, maybe like a second of
the seat, second and second half of the season situation.
But it sounds it sounds like that might be a
possibility that could be on the board coming soon.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Would not be great for your season long under right.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
There he's washed. I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I mean, I hope you'll help that based on whatever
they have now. But the Dolphins are gonna blow it
all up. I could so I could see a couple
of their players ending up elsewhere. Is our voice in
the sky, our own personal stapway, have an Abrams, Can
you look up something quickly? I know this is on
the spot because this these are two teams that are
(19:14):
I believe second half under gods. Because once either of
these teams gets a lead, all they want to all
they want to do is I got They'll just try
to hold the ball and go on like twelve minute
drives and they can and that Eagles can do that
run run, little pass, push push, and the Chiefs just
do that now because they only can move three yards
at a time. So these teams are the lead. I
(19:36):
mean we saw that in the Week one with the
Cowboys and Eagles game. Somehow going under what are the
Eagles last We'll say last five years, Eagles and Chiefs
second half unders, they got to be the top two.
I mean, just looking.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Up by quarterback, I feel like is the easiest way to go.
So Mahomes, you know Mahomes is he's seventy two fifty
seven and five career second half under.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
And that was inclined. That was back when he was
explosive too. Though, like correct, I feel like lately Hurts
is good too. I mean forty thirty five and one.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
But let's see, yeah, let's see like last few years
with Mahomes just to get the uh so Owen won
this year ten and nine. See the thing that skews
it all and I remember doing this in twenty three
he was seventeen and three to the second half under,
which skews it all every year of his career basically
around five hundred.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
It's at home usually, I believe the home second half.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Hunders are like twenty nine and twelve or twenty nine
and thirteen last few years. So it's arrowhead where they
usually stop you second half, no points and they in
the game just strangle out the game.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, unreal that pulling that straight from the.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Dome, by the way, impressive, major flex for Ebony.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
He's the voice of God.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You got to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Brock Purty News Kyle Shanahan said that he is a
long shot to play this week and that it's likely
going to be a mole Ti week absence. Ian Rappaport
followed that up and said that Brock Parties expected to
miss two to five weeks with a turf toe variant.
I've never heard of this before. This is like a
Marvel Multiverse injury, a turftoe variant. Looked at PFF dot com,
(21:14):
they do a good job in terms of the UH
spread worthiness of these quarterbacks. He's worth three and a
half points to the spread according to the According to
their database, this line opened at minus seven for San Francisco,
So if you were to bake in that adjustment, that
would make the Niners three and a half point favorites.
Add a sprinkle of George Kittle news and some market
sentiment towards San Francisco, and actually, you know what, scratch
(21:40):
that action is tracking seventy one percent of the tickets
to New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But it does get us to where we're at.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Niners minus three is the side stucky? Are you touching
this one or have you already?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
I'm what I want to bet on this game. It's ugly,
so no one is gonna like this. I said to myself,
if party gets ruled out. What's gonna happen is the
line's gonna drop, and I want neither part of it.
I don't want any part of either side, but I
want to bet the over after the total comes down,
Like can it get into the thirties?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Talking in game or are you talking out pre game?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I just want to see how low it goes. Where
are we at now forty forty and a half? Have
I want to see if we can get into the
thirties because look, the talent for San fran isn't great.
It's Mac Jones, but it's still like a good play
call in Shanahan. It's not a great New Orleans defense.
The Niners defense was basically reset. I like some of
the things that the Saints offense did last week. It's
(22:35):
indoors two good play callers. And the Saints are going fast,
super fast. They were the fastest team Underkelmore. They were
the highest tempo in the league last week. So they're
spreading it out, going a lot eleven personnel and going
fast with tempo. And the Niners, what's their kicking situation
gonna be? Like maybe they're just gonna go forward to
(22:56):
more and fourth downs be a little bit more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But can they sign Eddy Pinero?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Is that how they signed? I haven't even chin Well,
that's a huge upgrade. They won't miss. That's a huge
upgrade over Moody. You missed seven field goals a game.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
The worst throws dart to that man's face at night.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
They held on to him. This is why you never
draft kickers like Vin Terry wasn't drafted, Justin Tucker wasn't
drafted like a lot. You don't waste a third round
draft pick. They they selected Jake Moody in the third
round and that draft was one of the go book
up that draft. There was like Jyu Brown, Cameron Lay
(23:38):
to Robert Beale like nobody. I think de Winters is
like the their best drafting. But their second pick in
that draft was Jake Moody. Insane, don't draft a kicker.
And then they had Anchor By They just held onto
him for so long. So that's an upgrade, but ugly scary.
Who wants to bet Mac Jones Spencer Rattler over nobody.
But if this gets low enough indoors with some tempo,
(23:59):
Shannon and We'll still have some good stuff scripted up.
It's ugly That's what I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I do think you're gonna get into the thirties, Kendra.
Are you excited for the return of the Mac mac joe?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
First of all, you don't drop the kicker unless it's
Cam Little in the sixth round. Never miss an extra point,
high school, college or NFL fun sound rounds Okay? Now? Third,
agree a great second of all turf toe variant sounds
like some d shit.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Three.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I hate Mac Jones with every fiber of my being.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I hate him.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I told you guys, I was gonna let you know
why I hate him. Here is I will t ld
are this for you. One both from Jacksonville. He went
to like the hoity toity rich kid high school and
kicked everybody's ass in football because they recruited all the good.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Talent in town. Two.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I go to Auburn, he goes to Alabama. Three, I
transfer to you and h and he gets drafted by
the Patriots. Four I have to to watch him again
in Jacksonville after Trevor Lawrence gets hurt and watch him
throw more touchdowns to be TJ last season than Trevor Lawrence.
And now he's back in San Francisco. The only other
place I've ever lived that he hasn't that was mine
(25:14):
and now he's there.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Oh, I hate him so much. You have two d uys.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You get caught doing things that you should not do,
that your sister posted on the internet.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I hate him so much. I hate him. I hate him.
He's kicked my ass and every sport ever.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Except for when he was on the Jaguars and then
he forced.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Us to lose all these games because he's hot, garbage,
hot ass. I hate him.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I am I'm going to the Jags forty nine ers
game in San Francisco and I cannot wait to boo
that mf or.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Out of the stadium.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
And you're gonna wear his DUI picture when he when
he was young and he's like crying, uh A smugshot, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Right on his face.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
If he has no haters, I am dead.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I get I'm in the club. I'm in the Mac
Johns hater. I have a hilarious story. I don't know
how many people know this. When Matt before Mac Jones
committed to Alabama, he was committed to Kentucky and at
the time I was dating my wife who went to
University Kentucky. But it was much older than Mac Jones.
She's I don't know. At the time, mac Jones was
(26:17):
visiting Kentucky. This is twenty fifteen. I think he was
visiting Kentucky and he slid into my wife's DMS while
I was dating her. She was twenty fifteen, so she
was twenty five and he was in high school and
he slid into her DM saying like stop what you do.
(26:38):
I didn't know or just said to stup what you're
doing tonight. He was in high school track and my
wife showed me. I didn't even know who he was
at the time. I knew he like it was a
high recruit. And then he ended up going to Alabama
and I used to love fading him when he was
in college because he was slid into my wife's DM.
So put me on board of So maybe we should
(26:58):
bet that the Saints. I'm in Maybe the Saints is
the grouper.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Bet and his what's his pick line at his odds
to throw an interception?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I'm down for that.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
That might be I might take the over on whatever,
because I think that that is my Mac Jones revenge tour.
I'm going to bet be over on all of his
interceptions all season.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think that's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Because here's the problem, Okay, I do have to bring
us back to earth a little bit. We cannot back
the Saints right We can't back the Saints right now
because the public is getting crushed early on in this season.
The Saints are getting seventy one percent of the bets.
The Saints are terrible. Okay, I know it's Mac Jones,
and I'm with you. Hey, if you fuck with Kendra
and you fuck with Stucky, you fuck with me too. Okay,
(27:44):
I'm with you, guys, but I cannot be on the
side of seventy one percent of the bets on an
awful team. The forty nine ers are still good enough
roster wise to win this football game, and win this
football game by more than a field golf with you
on the pick, let's find the number on that.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Laying three with Sam fran just I'm looking for the
over I'm gonna be I'll probably be. I gott all
care if the public, if I'm side with the public
on some games, but I might be the only person
in the country that that's the over in this game.
Very well, good, Yeah, it sounds like you were talking
about paining. We were talking about pain. That might be
the most painful thing that I ever endure trying to
(28:22):
watch that game and rooting to get into the forties.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I would rather be on. It's more. I'm very much
an under better in comparison.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Same I hate betting overs regardless. Now I've got a
betting over with Rattler and Jones, but.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
That shit hits like crack, like cheering for an over
and cheering for scores hits.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So, speaking of the public stat that was shared via
Evan Abrams, the public went three and thirteen against the
spread last week. It was the worst Week one mark
in the NFL since Week five, or it was the
worst mark that the public had and since Week five
of twenty twenty two, the worst week one in twenty
two years of action Networks database teams with sixty percent
(29:05):
of the tickets.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm just gonna rattle these off.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
This is not a don't bet, this is a buyer
beware on the following teams. The vikings against the Falcons,
the Saints, as we've just talked about against the forty
nine ers, the Titans, Stuckey, I know that's one of
yours as well, seventy percent of the bets on the
Titans going up against the Rams, the Pittsburgh Steelers, they're
always a heavily bet public team sixty two percent, and
(29:27):
the Panthers, so I think we're gonna have sold to
us in a moment. Sixty two percent of the bets
against the Arizona Cardinals. So let's use that as a
launch pad to nominate a player too and see if
we can find some general consensus on the board and
eventually land on the cheesiest named parlay I could possibly
come up with. We're gonna call this the three Musketeers,
(29:50):
all for one and one for all. Eh, you guys
with me?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
That is such a Dodd joke. I think that we
should public leach game right now.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Bring it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That was rough, but a right, We're roll with it, okay,
all right, you know, hey, look, I'll take submissions.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But yeah, I have been working on my dad jokes
over the last five years.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So if I hit you, I should have played this.
I have that horn.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
This is just the beginning, folks, just the beginning.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I like the Jets plus six and a half, stucky,
slightly jealous of you you picked up the seven a
few days ago.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Wish I had gotten in on them a little bit earlier.
But this team runs the ball really well.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Buffalo clearly struggled in that area on Sunday night. Yes,
they won the game. They came back heroic fashion, YadA YadA.
They give up two hundred and thirty eight yards on
the ground to the Baltimore Ravens. Their secondaries beat up
as well. So I think Justin Fields can have some
success in this game home dogs of seven or more.
And this doesn't exactly qualify because I'm taking a six
(30:50):
and a half, but just to give you an idea
of the range eighteen to one and two against the
spread over the last three years in the beginning portions
of the season, first half of the I like the
Jets plus six and a half. I'll stop there, are
you guys sold on the Jets plus the number?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Or should I continue?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
I'm in on the Jets personally. May maybe a little
hangover for the Bills. I liked what I saw from Engstam.
I like what I saw from Fields like I didn't
know what that office is going to look like. The
offensive line is so improved, their tackles, Membu, the rookie
twenty six pass protection STAPs, nothing, no pressures, and he
went against Watt and that passerrush. So really liked what
(31:32):
I saw from the offensive line. And yeah, that Bill's
defense has issues right now, Like they're safeties. There a problem,
there's injuries at corner the Rundies, so asking them to
win by margin the road divisional game. I'm in on the.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Jets, Kendra.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I want to be in on the Jets. I just
once again.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Need to see their identity a little bit. I definitely
agree with Stucky's thing the other day about Justin Fields
maybe being the guy we see to be like the
Gino Smith, Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield type.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I have been chasing that high for him.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I thought that was going to be him in Pittsburgh
and that wasn't so I can't. I feel like I
no longer have the cards to play to say that
he's going to maybe be in the running for that
conversation again. But I just worry about Josh Allen being
able to expose the Jets secondary. I will say their
run game looked a lot better than I expected last week.
I just think that the Bills are way too deep
(32:22):
Bills year that you just can't convince me to bet
against the Bills out all this entire season.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I think that out of every team in the NFL,
they have the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
If there was to be a team to be perfect
and go seventeen to O this year, it's them.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Okay, well, we need consensus on this, so I'm going
to move on to the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys
minus five and a half against the Giants. They wreck
NFC East opponents that they face. I think the Giants
are still pretty awful. So when you add in the
extended rest as well smash spot for the Dallas Cowboys,
can I get some consensus?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yes, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
That is one of my bets that I gave out
this week, the Dallas Cowboys. I'm higher on the Giants
than I think a lot of people are this year,
but not until day replace Russ with Jackson Dart. I
am on the Jackson Dart train, been here since he
was at old Miss Love Jackson Dart. One of the
most disappointing bets I ever lost in my life was
when I got in early on him for Heisman odds
(33:18):
and then he kind of shited the bed last yearly
in the season. But I really think that the Giants
have done a decent job at adding depths and drafting.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I just don't think.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
That the coaching situation is doing anybody any favors. Jackson
Dart's got to be the guy. It's got to be
Dallas or nothing for me this week, I.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Can't get there. But I can't. I'm not betting the Giants.
I'll tell you that, Yeah, I need them to change Ross.
Ross was awful, and there's to build your case. Neighbors
might not be fully healthy. Wanda Robinson didn't practice yesterday.
Is Andrew Thomas going to be back? Like the line
is bad, but when he's out, it's just a disaster.
I know Parsons isn't there, but and Dak's really good
(33:58):
as a favorite. He can pull up those numbers. What
is Dak is like a six plus point favorite? Usually
pretty good, like I think, And part of that is
that they'll get a lead and then their defense historic
has been able to be aggressive and then you know
a kind of snowballs. But maybe that's not the case
anymore without Parsons. But they're gonna get pressure. It's this
(34:20):
Giants offensive line So if I were if I was
choosing between the two, I would go Jets and Kendrick
Wild go Cowboys. So we'll do one of them.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
And then how about this.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So to add to the Dak impressive in these situations
seventy one percent over the course of his career ats
against the NFC East.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
This is what he does.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
He covers what is Dak as a favorite?
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Yeah, closes well, closing six or more as a favorite
thirty one, fifteen and one, which just feels stupid in
itself as that big of a favorite, especially on the
closing line as a favorite just itself fifty to thirty
nine and two, so pretty good.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
That is dumb numbers. That's like Lamar. Lamar first half
numbers are dumb fifty nine, thirty four and two against
the spread sixty.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
The crazy thing with Lamar first half is Flacco's second,
so it's like mostly John.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Yep, that's true. But the crazy thing even as a
favorite of six plus in the first half, Lamar twelve
three and one against the spread and he's covered by
a field goal game when he's favored by like a
touchdown in the first half, it's that shock of the
speed is part of it and then the hardball effect two.
So all right, how are we going to choose? Then?
(35:33):
How are we breaking this tie?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Well?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I think because we well, yeah, because there's two, we
have two thirds. We're only on one person right now.
So Evan, you're you're officially in. You're breaking the tie.
Are we putting the Cowboys minus the points or the
Jets plus the points into the not named three most
Keteers parlay?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
I like the Jets. I mean I already bet the Jets.
I put in the ap myself. I had it at seven,
So I'm a Jets guy this week. I like the
Giants way too much. That defensive lines can cause havoc.
I mean, even with the injuries, you assume neighbors will
play like Jets.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
The Jets are in.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Let's move to Stucky sell us on one of your
plays for this week that we can get in there
as the favorites, parlay.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Does that to be on Sunday? Or are we on Monday?
Are we keeping it to the Sunday?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I don't think Yeah, I don't think it matters.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
All right, let's go Atlanta plus three and a half
Sunday night. It looks like Mooney and London are going
to play. That's important. Pennick's faredwell against the Blitz last
week against Bowls, that's important against Flores, the Vikings, short
week off a big win, a couple defensive injuries. And
I'm not fully sold on McCarthy. And I know somehow
(36:39):
NFC offensive Player of the Week, but for three quarters
it looked awful. And he was going against the Bear's
na without their top two corners, without a starting lineback,
and like, it didn't look great. And yeah, eventually he
got there, but it was with Justin Jefferson, a good
offensive line, and I know he was without his left tackle.
Might be back this week. But the Falcons anything over
a field goal here, rookie quarterback on the road, you
(37:02):
got an extra day of wrest and prepp. You should
have your receivers. And look, they should have won that
game last week. They were plus seven percent net success, right,
they dropped like three picks. Their zones were really good.
Macarth's gonnaee a lot more zone than he did last week.
Might force the ball, some couple of balls to Jefferson,
make a mistake. I'm in on the Falcons plus three
(37:22):
and a half. Brandon agree. Disagree.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I'm in. I'm in on that.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I kind of like the idea of continuing the fade
of these really strong public favorites. Last year was such
a heavy public success year that you could kind of
see this reversing course going into twenty twenty five. It's
already happened in pretty dramatic fashion. And then you have
JJ McCarthy back to back night starts for a quarterback
(37:48):
making his debut and he was a darling.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I mean, come on, this is obvious. This has crashed
back down to Earth written all over it. I'm in.
I like getting the three in the hook.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
All right. Well, my favorite bet before I get Kendra's thoughts,
because you're probably not gonna like this, because no one
is probably gonna like this is the Texans. Who wants
to bet the Texans is a favorite? Apparently me? But
that's my favorite. Be that's on Monday Night. Anything under three.
Last week was a mess offensively, but you have to
understand that before the game they ruled their guard out
(38:18):
with an abdomen injury. Hopefully he's back this week, and
he was really good in the preseason ingram. They removed him.
That changed three positions around and throughout the game. They
had seven or five or six different combinations. They had
like all these guys playing tackle. Then they had two injuries.
There was no way it was going to be functional.
So no matter what this week, I think Ingram be back,
(38:38):
that'll allow Howard go to tackle, and I think Patterson
at safety for Andrews is even better. But they'll get
a week to practice with it. Like they went into
the game game day and then had to switch up
their entire offensive three positions and then had two injuries.
It was a disaster, So it won't look that bad.
The Bucks defense is bad. They got lucky last week.
Their offensive line is a mess. They got their center
playing tackle, their guard playing center because Wurfs is out,
(39:00):
they're missing mcmill and Godwin. Still, Baker should have thrown
like three or four picks last week. They got very fortunate.
Texans get it done that defense at home. I'm trusting
them and Stroud the bounce back with a more stable
offensive line. So Texans minus two and a half, Falcons
plus three and a half. My favorite two bets, I
won't make you guys. Bet the Titans, Kenjre, You're you're
(39:21):
going to make the decision here.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
I'm more likely to be with you on the Texans
than the Falcons after what I've seen from young Waku
in his career in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
There's no way you're going to get me to back
him on.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
He might not be kicking, they might.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
They might have a and Pennick's touchdowns only, okay, and
we're going for two.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
It's not that I'm high on the Texans this year.
It's that I'm high on the Bucks having a slow start.
You could tell that they were missing Liam Cohen last week,
that their offense is getting old, that it's getting stale,
that the injuries certainly have hit them in the preseason.
Guys need to come back, need to get healthy. Like
you said, their offensive line is a mess. It's not
that I'm high on the Texans. It's just truly that
I think if the Bucks are going to have a
(40:02):
good season, it's going to take them a minute to
get into the flow of the season because so much has.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Changed for them.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
And you know, Baker Mayfield has had so many different
offensive coordinators throughout his career. I think that he's due for,
maybe like the right to have a little bit of
a slow start after this turnaround we've seen from him.
I think that they're going to be fine shit division,
and I think that it's theirs to lose. But the
Texans are good, They're good coached, they draft really well.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
They need to win.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
They also earn an ass division, but a less ass division,
so they've got to get wins where they can get them.
I think they have to take advantage of this year
at home. I would be more likely to be with
you on the Texans.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
All right, Well, I guess this is Evan Abrams podcast.
I might I might use Sennori here and just call it,
but do you have a preference. I don't.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
I'm going to allow you guys to take it. I
really don't care about it.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
All right, I'm signed with Kenju. We're going to Texans.
So Texans minus two and a half and Jets where
we're at plus six and a half is the best
price available right now? Are there any sevenths left?
Speaker 1 (41:02):
I don't see any sevens out there.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
No seven? Okay, we'll go six and a half.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
And so I hinted to this on a Tuesday show
that I am behind the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I know that it's ugly.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
I know nobody likes it. But I have some information
for you guys. But before I give you this information,
who do you think is better or worse? The Saints
or the Carolina Panthers. The Saints, but you think the
Saints are better than the Panthers.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
No, no, no, I think the Panthers are better than
the Saints.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Okay exactly.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
And last week who struggled against the Saints The Arizona Cardinals.
Last year, in the matchup between the Panthers and the Cardinals,
the Cardinals beat Arizona thirty six thirty in that overtime
matchup that knocked Arizona out of playoff contention. The Panthers
are fifteen and six against Arizona all time, and the
Panthers are six and two on the road in Arizona
(42:01):
in that all time matchup. In that game last season,
Chewba Hubbard ran for one hundred and fifty two yards
and had two touchdowns and Bryce Young threw for two
touchdowns and rushed for another. For some reason, the Panthers
have their number them getting this big of a spread.
I absolutely think that the Panthers are to play here.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
My issue with this one is I think the Panthers
are running out of wide receivers and they already traded
Adam Thielen Jalen Coker just hit the ir hunter Renfros
on the injury report already.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
He just got to the team.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
He had a monster catch.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Last week though in te Roald McMillan like Heed, but
he can't do it all himself.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
I just think they are they're a little too depleted
right now for me to back them. I have a
hard time. I have a really hard time getting behind
this one.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Thank you. Kuanu also back.
Speaker 5 (42:47):
That would be that would be helpful because his backup
was was bad. Yosh the ex packer. Yeah, the weapons
scare me a little bit. Also that the Panthers at
their defense is void of talent, so they're just running
this like basic cover three and then that's usually that's
not good against Murray and McBride. I am curious about this,
(43:08):
so I don't think I can get there. Like it
does make sense. It's like they looked awful. I mean,
if you look back historically, teams off of double digit
I think Evan probably has this. Teams off of double
digit losses that are dogs in Week two probably have
hit around like sixty sixty five percent, And yeah, like,
(43:30):
how about a team that didn't cover in week one
on the road versus a team that did twenty two
and twelve against the spread sixty five percent last ten years.
So like it makes sense, like buying low. You don't
want to overreact in week one. You want to stick
more to your priors. Like that's it's just one data
point you have to remember. But the total does feel
a little low because you just mentioned that game it
(43:53):
was thirty.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Six thirty you said, yeah, but it was also an
overtime game.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
Yeah, but so like there was still sixty points in regulation.
Now this total, and that total was like forty six
forty seven the US it was forty three and a
half indoors. I get the Panthers offense a little beat up,
but I don't know. That total seems a little bit
low for me. But why which what's your other one before.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
We the also fun fact, this is the matchup between
the two smallest quarterbacks that we've ever had ever so for.
Speaker 5 (44:23):
Post Super Bowl there was one in like the fifties
with like.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Yeah, yeah, remember him.
Speaker 4 (44:29):
I also told you guys that I am gonna back
Miami this week I'm still there. McDaniel's job watch must
win in a week to to and never loses to
the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Must win. And the thing is that it's a divisional game.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
They have to consider one Miami in September Tough we
talked about there's really no home field advantage outside of
the fact that it's the weather and New Englanders and
people who like play up here, there's no shot they're
going to be able to survive it. When you spend
an entire summer working in a New England summer environment
and compare into a Florida summer environment, I don't care
(45:02):
where you're from. Will Campbell even has struggled up here,
and he's from down south and it's not even that
hot in comparison. I thought, so, here's the thing for me,
here's the big question. Mark Gonzalez was posting. Christian Gonzalez
was posting on his Instagram like he was gonna play
this week, but the rumors coming out from the team
or that he's not, so I don't really know what
(45:23):
to expect there. When comparing the position groups, quarterback basically
a wash, I would give the edge of running back
to the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
With the secondary being injured, Tyreek.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
And Jalen Waddall obviously far superior to anything or the
Patriots have coaching.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
I probably go Rabel, but I.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
Give the edge to Miami here and they're still running
the fullback in today's NFL shout out alec Engeld on Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
I'm behind Miami this week.
Speaker 5 (45:49):
Look, I pride myself on betting the ugliest all. I
mean my college football bets this week, and are like
the worst teams in the country, and I bet some ugly's,
but I'm addicted to bend the Titans.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (46:01):
I don't have many, uh healthy habits, and that's most unhealthy.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
But this is ugly.
Speaker 5 (46:08):
I mean. Yeah, So I'm like the Panthers and the Dolphins.
So I like that You're you're trying to buy the
teams that looked awful last week. I cannot put any
money or recommend anybody put any money behind the Dolphins
right now, given the state of their offensive line, the
(46:29):
state it seems like everything in the back, like everything
could just explode, Like they could just be arguing on
the sidelines the ten minutes into this game. Their secondary
is a disaster. There's all kinds of injuries. They've all
these guys that just brought on that are like they're
relying on to pick up the defense. So what are
they doing. They're just blitzing everyone like that's just what
they're doing because they don't trust anyone in the back end.
And to a looked awful last week. I don't know
as he can cost again, I don't know he could.
(46:51):
He wasn't just system quarterback. He's been in the system
for years. He looked like he did was the first
time ever run in the system. So I'm voting by
far easily. I can't go. I'm voting for the Panthers
plus six and a half.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
I will say, Kendrew, your your mindset on the Miami
Dolphins is a winning.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Profitable mindset. This game in particular can't do it. So
I'm with you. Let's go with the Panthers plus the
six and a half.
Speaker 4 (47:20):
Quarterering you guys into betting on the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 5 (47:24):
That was very strategic. That was that was a ploy, alright,
the only other one, only other team. I really don't
want to that default Panthers in the parlor.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Well, I really just put a gun to both of
your heads and was like, choose between two shitty options.
Speaker 5 (47:44):
Perfect execution, very well done.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
The official All Favorites all day parlay.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Texans minus two and a half, Jets plus six and
a half, and the Panthers plus six and a half.
