Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to the Favorites, presented by Draft Kings. The crown

almost to the finish line. Thank you to our guests

(00:31):
out in the archives. If you didn't catch it live

Super Bowl sixty. But we have business to attend to today.
I'm Brandon Kravitz, joined by the Favorites Croup, the Prime
Minister of djen Nation, Stucky, and the Queen of the Pod,
Miss Kendra Middleton. On today's episode, we've got action or distraction.
(00:53):
We're back to the usual standards here on the Favorites.
We've got Stucky's random question of the Week and our
official I have been waiting weeks for this. Two Kings
and a Queen parlay courtesy of Draft Kings. But first
are stat of the Week, straight from the primer. I'm
gonna give you two conflicting trends here and you guys
are gonna tell me which one holds more statistical.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Relevance to you?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So on the Patriot side, if you go back to
his time with the Titans, Mike Vrabel is the third
most profitable moneyline underdog among all coaches over the last
twenty seasons. Okay, that's the pat side. The Seahawks side
in his career as a favorite of four points or more,
Sam Darnald fifteen and one straight up, eleven and five
(01:41):
ats Kendra, Which of those do you think holds more relevance?
You don't have to reveal your pick here, but if
you're just looking at those two trends, which one of
those do you think is more relevant to the reality
of this Sunday?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I'm gonna say probably Sam Darnald, just because I think
that he's going to play a bigger role in the Seahawks'
success than Rabel will in the Patriots success. He's been
a great coach this season. Obviously, they've been the most
you know, profitable team against the spread, but I think
a lot more credit goes to McDaniels than people want
to give credit for. So I'm going to go with
(02:17):
Sam Donald just because I think so much of this
Patriots team's success on the offensive side has come from McDaniels,
and it's going to continue to have to because they're
going to have to put up more than twenty points
to beat the Seahawks defense.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So I am going to have to wind.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Up continuing to give more credit to McDaniels. Donald being
fifteen and month straight up is crazy and this is
a big moment. And I also am going to give
Sam Donald more respect than I think the national you know,
people who are on the Pats have this week.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
What about you, Stuckey.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We have twenty years of data that point to Mike
Rabel being the third most profitable moneyline underdog among coaches,
and we have I'm surprised that Sam Donald has been
a fan favored to four points or more sixteen times.
To be honest with you, but where do you land
on this? Which one do you think holds more relevancy?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
The Vrabel one for sure. I just think Donald has
been you know, over the past two seasons, has played
on teams with incredible defensive coordinators and defenses, and when
they get a lead, they can, you know, really pile
on teams and beat up on bad quarterbacks. And they
faced a lot of bad quarterbacks over the couple at
(03:29):
the past couple years. Donald's played well over the past
two years, but that's a more of a you know
who which team Donald has been on and as a
result of you know, the defenses that he's benefited from
on his own team. Whereas Vrabel, I think he is
a great coach. He is, you know, a good motivator,
(03:49):
and I do think he does little things in the
games that give the Patriots edges in terms of, you know,
understanding the rules, the little things that you think coaches
NFL coach is only thirty two of them. You think
everyone would understand, but they don't. But the game management,
the clock management, the little things like you know, when
the Broncos subbed with two thirty to go and he
(04:10):
said to his defense, they ran off like really slow
and wasted twenty five seconds. Rabel does a couple of
those things a game. So I do think that he
does provide some real alpha and I do ultimately think
that this game and most Super Bowls are decided by
(04:33):
not you know, not only the quarterbacks. Most importantly, the coaching,
where you have two weeks to prepare. This is when
you throw everything that you have out there. This is
when you come up with potential curve balls and potential
nuanced game plans that the other team isn't prepared for.
And those are the things that can decide games between
you know, two very good teams that are almost always
(04:53):
going to meet in the Super Bowl. So I do
think that the Rabel one holds more merit, and the
battle between this Patriots coaching staff and the Seahawks coaching staff,
I think is going to go along line determining who
is your Super Bowl sixty winner.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I need to know how often he was an underdog though,
because those Titans teams played in a terrible division.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I think they were underdogs quite a bit. And I'll
look up what the Patriots were as far as this
year goes, but I mean, I know they played such
an easy schedule that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That was the reason that I was often Yeah, that
was the reason I chose Jarnald was because my initial
instinct was how often was he actually a dog with
that Titans team in that division?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, as far as this year goes, the New England
Patriots were four and two against the spread as an underdog.
Now that's ats that's not necessarily straight up but just
to give you an idea, if you were looking the
way of the Patriots for this year, they were dogged
six times and they covered in four of those. But
(05:57):
I'm not sure when it comes to Tennessee. But the
Tennessee team wasn't really known. It's not like they were
given a lot of national respect.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, he never had a good quarterback ever, but still
like that division was dog shit for so long.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So I do want to stay on this game. A
lot of people tuning in that. I want to hear
the analysis. We've been previewing it in every different direction,
even bringing NBA cross sport plays into it. We'll get
to our random question of the week in a moment, Bona,
keep this ball a roll in action or distraction time?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
This is abstracted distracted.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm nottacky.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
I want it on the action.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The Seattle Seahawks are getting sixty six percent of the
betting tickets according to the Action Network app. In the
last twenty three years of bet Labs data, only seven
Super Bowl teams have closed with sixty plus percent of
the bets. Overwhelmingly, people are betting the Seattle Seahawks. Every
analyst I hear nationally certainly the public betting numbers that
(06:58):
are out there, per Action Network are telling us and
a bit with a big flashing neon sign that people
are betting the Seattle Seahawks minus the points. However, the
public has been really good at betting these Super Bowls.
When things are tilted in one direction, they are five
and two straight up against the spread. When teams are
catching sixty plus percent of the tickets. Action or distraction, Kendro,
(07:23):
the public is Super Bowl sharp.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think a lot of it has to do with one,
how much name in this year in particular, how much
name recognition is on this Seattle team versus this Patriots team.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Like this, it makes sense to.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Me why the public in this particular game would be
on them, because, like JSN, a lot of people are
talking about, you know, how good of a season he's had,
The kids love him. One of the highest selling jerseys
for Christmas this year, Sam Darnold's turnaround.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You can talk about, you know, Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
He's been really popular amongst you know, like casual fans
to talk about, especially because of Fantasy and all that
stuff this year. So I think in this year in particular,
it's just the lack of name recognition for people in
this Patriots team, because you want to bet on people
that you know, right, that are popular, like the general
public is going to continue to do that. And also
dogs have done really well in Super Bowls when betting,
(08:19):
So I would say that it's more so we talked
about this before we got on the show, right Like,
by the time that today rolled around, I had been
doing so much research and digging into this so much
that I feel like I'm starting to doubt myself in
my initial gut instincts.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So I think it's probably a little.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Bit of you know, we have watched so much of
these teams by the time this game comes around, we've
overthought it to a point that maybe that gets people
like us in trouble, and the general public is just
like we I love JSN and Cooper Cup, Let's bet
on them because it's fun, you know what I mean? Like,
I think that that's probably the way that I personally
see this.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Whether that's right or wrong, who's to say, but that I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Just yeah, I'm surprised because if I was told, Okay,
you've had seven Super Bowls over the last twenty three years,
where sixty plus percent of the bets are on one side.
And then you said, Okay, now that you have that information,
predict the record of those seven Super Bowls for the
betting public. I would not have been anywhere close to
five and two. I'm surprised that they've been that successful
(09:17):
for a game.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That is why though at.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Patrick Mahomes, so many people are for the most part,
these are probably Mahomes and Brady, So it's like those
are the that's where the public money is going to
be stucky.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
How do you read that?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Because this is the most bet game of the entire year,
and this is where the percentages perhaps matter more than
any other game that we talk about throughout the year.
And yet when it's tilted, the public has done quite well.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I mean it's seven games who cares? And then it's
one game the public can win. Any one game the
football game played with an oblong ball. There's no like
the mart We pretty much know around where the spread
should be, where these teams are power rated. Like I
don't put any marriage into it at all, zero weight
into that. I will say like a lot of times
(10:03):
people are just gonna bet what they just saw. And
that's that's why I think this line is a little
too high. People just saw the Seahawks beat the Rams,
and then the Patriots, you know, struggle against Jared Stidham,
and their offense doesn't look great. So that's what everyone
is and they're.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Reading stuckies tweets about how easy the Patriots the Patriots' schedule.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
So like, there's there's a lot of recency byes that's
always gonna happen when it comes to NFL betting, But
I think it's completely meaningless in a seven game stample size.
Plus you have to remember that, like the books, if
the Seahawks covered, they're like, who cares, Like they're they're
they're gonna get so much volume in this game, and
(10:43):
the props and the total and the parlays like that's
there that I think the Las Vegas sports with the
lost two Super Bowls, I think in fifty years, So yeah,
ultimately it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just think in general.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
The last point on this is that the the idea,
I don't think that you should base your your bet
on the side off of what the public percentages say.
But what I find interesting about it is that you
have a lot of people that are rushing to the
market to bet this that typically don't bet that are
accounting for these numbers, and then you have folks that
(11:22):
are not. They're not reacting to recency bias, and those
things would be counterintuitive. Typically the bet that is counterintuitive
is going to be the one that gets a lower
percentage of the wagers.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And yet that bet has not won over seven games.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
That it's completely meaningless as a meaning of sample size.
And I will say, like even if, just like if
you're worrying about all the public, which you shouldn't do,
the like with the public's gonna win this game. Most
people that are coming to bet this game like they're
they're gonna parlay with something. Sports folks would love, They
would not care, would not lose any sweat. There's all
(12:00):
so futures you have to consider, So the futures exposure
for certain sports books. But the sportsbook would jump for
joy and have no m no issues with the Seahawks
covering and as long as they you know, and the
game stayed under and nothing happened, and it was a
ten to nothing final, and no one scored touchdowns and
(12:21):
no one went over their yards.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, here's a question.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Then what what results let's go for both of you
very quick. A result that you think would cost the
sports books money?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
What result?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Is it even possible because of how many people bet
dumb parlays?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
No, because I think wasn't the wasn't last year's Eagles
super Bowl like the most the public had ever won
or something like that, or the Super Bowl before was,
and it still wasn't even like that insane.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I believe the only time in the last twenty years
or so were the where the actual uh books lost
money was when the Giants beat the Patriots the second time.
I mean, it really just doesn't happen. To Stucky's point,
I just wonder if there's any scenario.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, people are dumping all their money into parlays, and
I think that that's just how they're how they're gonna
make their money. Because of all the boosts and all
that crap. People think, oh, yeah, this is totally gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I just I don't. I don't see away unless this.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Is like, dude, easy that it would have to be in.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Total is like seventy five, Yeah, has three touchdowns thirty
eight thirty five, or like forty two thirty forty one
to thirty five final in overtime, and there's if.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
The defense just sits down.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Defense Like there's a defensive special teams score, there's a safety.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Kenneth Walker hits an octopus.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Yeah, yeah, there's all those all those random things like
are very high Williams favorite wins, favorite covers parlayed to
the overs, and like everyone that was supposed to score
scores and gives over their yardage. That would probly the
worst case scenario.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All right, let's talk about this injury Stucky. We had
a significant bit of news pop up last night. The
Studs safety the Unicorn, nick Emmon Warri, injured his ankle
and practice. Apparently coaches and players came over to comfort him.
There's a video of him limping into the team hotel.
Action or distraction on this injury news for Ima and.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Warri major action, Like that's something that I'm monitoring.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I have.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
The Seahawks team total under I haven't bet the side
yet leaning Patriots. I would bet the Patriots, if even
more is not one hundred percent, are out at this number.
And he's so important to everything that they do. He
enables them to do all of the things that they
do that make their defense at Unicorn. He gives McDonald
ultimate flexibility he found in even more his Hamilton, and
(15:01):
it enables them to play a ton of dime and
do it effectively. They can defend the run, they can
defend heavy packages, they can defend the pass, you know,
without having to ever take even more off the field.
And he is a major part of that defense. People
just spent a week talking about how important even where
(15:25):
it is, and how critical he's been to the success
of that defense, and I agree, I don't think people
are talking enough about his potential injury. I don't have
any insight into how serious or not it is, but
it's something that I'm monitoring, and I think it's certainly
a major late week storyline. And then on the other side,
(15:47):
they give roberts plane like how healthy is he going
to be? Eat in practice again yesterday. He hasn't practiced
in two weeks. He wasn't that effective in the Denver
game early before he left with an injury, and the
Pat's defense is much better with him in there. So
(16:10):
that's another one that I'm monitoring. So those are two
key pieces, one on each defense that could have an
impact on this game.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Harold Landry also on the more positive end of the
injury news was able to practice. He didn't even play
in the AFC Championship game. He's the sack leader for
the New England Patriots. Kenda, have you heard anything on
the optimism or lack thereof around Landry?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Honestly, it's not been a huge topic of conversation around here,
which makes me think either it's worse than people think
or better than people think.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And I really don't know where I side on that.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
At the moment, they need all.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
They can get, for sure to stop the Seattle attack.
The prop for the total number of songs performed by
Bad Bunny is set at eleven and a half. Mine
seems pretty high. I was doing some total song research.
Rihanna got up to twelve. So Kendra, action or distraction
on betting the under on Bad Bunny total songs performed.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I saw you put this in here, and I did
some research as well, and.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I have wound up on the under strong.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I'm gonna say probably like the nine or ten area,
because if you look at kind of the past performers,
like the reason Rihanna got that's got so high is
because when you think about her songs like she has
those catchy, like you know, choruses of songs, and those
are easy to switch in and out of when they're
like that upbeat, you know, Boots and Cats style music
(17:40):
that you can bop in and out of, Whereas I
think his music is more comparable to some of the
slower artists that have hit that under in the past,
where he's a storyteller in his music, so there has
to be a little bit more time for him to
be able to get that story across before moving on
to the next song.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
And also, the rumor has it right now that Cardi
b might.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Be coming on the stage, so if they play I
like It, I think that that means that she stays
around longer and that eats up more time.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Over Under one and a half Bad Bunny song streamed
by Stucky after the Super bowls completed.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I'm gonna go under.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Oh well, Stucky, you want to all right?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Sharp sharp bet sharp bets across the board on the
under there, i'd Stucky, let's dig into it back to
football in a moment. We've got our official plays coming
up Kendri's pickle prop for Super Bowl sixty. But it
is time to dive into the weird, the bizarre, the random.
I'll kick it over to Stucky for his random super
(18:39):
Bowl question of the week.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Hey, this is a dumb question.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Let me ask you a personal question kind of question?
Is that this question?
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Let's go, let's keep it super Bowl. Well, actually, the
first thing I'll say is, I you mentioned that your
kid lost his first tooth, And did I ever tell
you that my tooth fairy story? So when I was
a kid, well it was winter time, so it was
(19:12):
like December or January, and there was a huge winter
storm and we lost power in our house, and we
went to my uncle's house and we slept in like
(19:34):
all me and my cousins. We slept in the basement.
I remember we had like sleeping bags and we just
made it like this fun thing. But I lost my
my tooth. What dide? Did you lose your first tooth?
That is it different for everybody. I think it was
like seven. I don't know if it was my first
(19:55):
tooth or not, but it was definitely at an age
where my parents were still thinking that I didn't I
thought the tooth fairy was a thing, but I kind
of knew that it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
But my dad had that figured out by three, So
we go over.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
And so I lost my tooth that day. So I
brought the tooth with me. And then I'm like, well,
the tooth fairies and I didn't want to go with
my uncles because, uh I was I remember, I was
like still skeptical if that the tooth fairy was was real.
But so I was like, I don't want to go
because the tooth fairy is not going to know to
where I am if I'm not so. But my parents like,
(20:34):
now they they know where you are, no matter where
you are. So I go there. I go down the
basement in the sleep bag. I put the tooth under
my pillow, and then my dad was upstairs, and uh
was got pretty hammered. And then so he comes down
(20:58):
at like three in the morning. We were still up
the kind of still up, kind of drifting to sleep,
and my dad comes down at like three in the
morning in the dark, and uh, he had like a
handful of coins. And then he comes down and then
(21:20):
he trips on my over my brother in the sleeping bag,
falls onto like right on top of me, and then
the coins go everywhere. And then I looked at him,
and he looked at me. So that's how I confirmed
that the tooth Fairy wasn't a thing. So a very
(21:40):
awkward moment for him. I like, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Then like pretend to fly away a little bit.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I think he was like the tooth Fairy told me
to give this to you couldn't get down here or something.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know who fairy got loaded on bourbon. Sorry,
couldn't make it downstairs.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yes, that was funny. What is your worst your best
end or worst super Bowl memory? Like from a day
viewing or it could be a player a game. My
worst by far was Patriots Falcons twenty eight to three,
(22:25):
put Falcons plus four and a half. I also had
the under Falcons plus four and a half, one of
the biggest bets I've ever made. I always see these
trends about the four plus point underdogs that always cover.
I had plus four and a half with the Falcons.
They ended up closing I think three three and a half.
But that was I was at my friend. Our friends
asked me we always have a super Bowl party. We'd
stay up all night the night before, we'd drink, we'd
(22:46):
roast a butt out on the smoker and then just
make it a whole weekend. Everyone was betting the Falcons
with me. It's one of my biggest bets ever. At
one point we were jumping around like in a circle
up twenty eight to the three in front of the
TV by the end of the game. By the when
it went to overtime the coin toss. Once the Patriots
(23:07):
won the coin toss, it was a morgue at the party.
And then the Patriots score a touchdown that was absolutely miserable.
Had to go to work the next day. It was.
That was brutal twenty seventeen, last time I worked in
corporate America. Ah, so, yeah, that was the worst by far.
(23:29):
Best is Raven's winning Super Bowls. But how about you.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I was nine years old the forty nine Ers were
playing the Chargers. That was Steve Young's Super Bowl, and
my parents dragged me to their friend's house and their
kids sucked and they were around my age, but they
were just we were not friends. They were so annoying.
The parents were weird. I just remember having the worst
(23:56):
time at this party. I'm nine years old, and I
decided that moment, I am not doing Super Bowl parties anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm done. I gave it up. At nine. It was
that bad.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And while my dog is freaking out, he's upset about
it too, and uh, yeah, that's that's the one for me.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I forget what number that super Bowl was, but it
was forty nine Ers, Chargers.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
It was terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
My best was gonna be when the Patriots played the
Eagles in the Super Bowl in Jacksonville because the next
day at school, I was in third grade and everyone
was like.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Oh my god, did you stay up and watch the
Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And it was just super fun that we had something
that cool in town. And it's one of my first
super Bowl memories. My Actually, maybe my best was my
junior year up here at You and H when it
was Brady's last super Bowl with the Patriots, because I
got to go out and party all night that night,
and the streets were flooded and people were like lighting
(24:54):
stuff on fire and climbing all the buildings at school.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I don't know if I have a worst. I don't
think I've had a worst. Actually, I got a fight.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I got a fight with a boy a couple of
years ago during one of the chief Super Bowls. I
was pretty drunk, and I don't remember what year would
have been I think probably twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
But that wasn't that terrible. He kind of sucked. I
don't know. I don't think I have a bad one,
only good.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I did Panthers. My friend got so drunky. We had
to go to the hospital and he had to get
a stomach pumped. That was That was a rough one.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Actually, no, my worst My best friend got so hammered
during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
That was also one of my favorite nights.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
That she tried to punch me in the face and
I had to put her in an uber home.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
That that reminded me of. That reminds me of not
the punch, but the drinking I did. I don't think
I missed an NFL Sunday Slate. I don't in my life,
you know, since I started watching football at primetime NFL
game anything like. I mean, I was listening at listening
to the red zone while my you know, right after
my kid was being born, I had at streaming. So
(26:03):
but I did miss the Super Bowl. I missed an
entire Super Bowl except for one play. I was out
this when I was in college.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You were blackout at GW No.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
No, no, I like legitimately missed it. I was in college,
went to GW. We were down visiting my friend at JMU,
which was a great party school at least at the time,
and we were up and just partying the entire weekend.
And then it was like Sunday at ten in the morning,
(26:38):
and we were My friend came down from Philly, picked
me up on the way, and then drove me down
on like a Friday. He had to go back and
then he wanted to go back to get the Philly
bug done to Super Bowl, so he drove me back.
We ended up getting back and we stopped for lunch.
We got back at like three point thirty four o'clock. Exhausted.
(27:00):
I haven't slept in a couple of days. I was
so I was going to go out for the Super Bowl,
but then I decided against it. I was like, I'm
just so beat. So I was like, I'm just gonna
watch it in my apartment, and so I like ordered
some food and then laid down on my couch. By
the time like I got all situated, there was like
(27:22):
an hour till kick I ate, and then I was
just laying on my couch, had all my bets in.
I saw Devin Hester return the opening kick. This is
Bear's Cult super Bowl. Devin has to return the opening
kick that I woke up with with the news on
(27:42):
I fell asleep and didn't wake up until after the
super Bowl. Weirdest feeling like I missed an entire like
so and then I mean the Cult won. So all
I saw was.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Try the last time you slept in your life.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And if that happened now, because Twitter wasn't a thing,
then if that happened now and we didn't see any
stucky tweets rolling through the timeline, I would be convinced
you were.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I would call like a I would have Gifford like
message your wife on the internet and make sure you
were alive. I did miss the first half of the
Brady Buck Super Bowl because we were coming back from
Radio Row and our network cheaped out and sent us
on that flight out of Tampa.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That was my only experience on Radio Row that year.
That's another worst experience was the year the Bucks were
in the Super Bowl in Tampa and then the Radio
Row was a ghost town.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I mean there they were talking, it was rolling. Yeah,
it was I think.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
The most famous person I interviewed there was like the
city Commissioner of Tampa.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It was it was Arris.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Was just some drunk dude on the street. Was probably
the best interview I got.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It was such a waste of time. Still to come.
Speaker 1 (28:50):

Speaker 2 (29:24):
It is time for.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
The triumphant super return of Kendrew's Pickle prop.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Let's pop the jar back open. What are we looking at?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
We're in a pickle now, I'm really gonna pickle now?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
All right, look we're gonna pickle again.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Hey, so this was the I've already put this in
to the action app, but I put this in my
pickle prop because I'm hoping that it will make people
think as hard about Jake Bobo as I did, because
I don't know if that's punishment or not.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
But I did a lot of Jake Bobo research, and
I have him over half a receiving yard.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I was looking at the difference in price between him
to have a receiving yard and to have a reception,
and Kravitz and I went over this prior to us
hopping on here, but it was plus one point eighty
for a receiving yard and plus one thirty to have
a reception. Obviously, he has to get beyond the line
of scrimmage, which is probably the discrepancy in price. But
I think because Jake Bobo is a hometown kid here
(30:23):
in Massachusetts playing in a super Bowl against the Patriots,
I think that they try and target him, try and
get him a catch in this, just as like a
hey kid, you're playing in the Super Bowl against your
hometown team type of thing. So I thought there was
value in doing this, and I've had so much Jake
Bobo on my timeline that I want a reason to
low key cheer.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
For him because he's from like North Andover or something.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
But I, yeah, Jake Bobo, I've put way too much
thought into this, so it had me in a pickle.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Are you in a pickle about Jake Bobo?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I do like the idea of going price up on
the yards rather than the reception, because if Bobo does
get involved, we've seen him not catch the ball very
much this yea, but when he does it's usually.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Past the sticks. So energy, yes, very much so.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
But I've done no Bobo research among all the research
I have done, so that is all the analysis I have.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
You, I have no idea. I mean that just comes
down to the game plan. So when I would go
with the higher upside, like do they want to how
much they want to put him on the field take
sheets feed off? I don't know, but uh yeah, that's
not my specialty. That's going to come down to game plan,
how much they want to use the snack count targets.
(31:33):
But I don't hate it.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Let's get an alt line going in there too, because
if he gets a catch, he's probably going past ten yards.
So I think we could get some we could have
some fun with that one too. It is time for
the reason you all came here this week, our two
Kings and a Queen parlay. Reminder for how this works.
Because it's been a couple of weeks, we each nominate
two plays, see if we can find some general consensus
(31:56):
on the board. Evan Abrams will break ties if they exist,
and we will eventually land on our team built parlay,
our first ever as a trio for a Super Bowl.
Kendra get Us.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Started, all right, So I'm going to give you guys
a couple extra options just because I'm nice like that
and I've been all over it. One Cooper Cup for
in anytime plus two to fifty.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
I just think.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I'm in the camp that I expect the JSN Christian
Gonzalez battle to be the primary matchup for him. So
I think that that's going to free up Cooper Cup.
Plus two to fifty feels like really good odds for him.
He's obviously played in a super Bowl before, scored in
Super Bowl before, has played really well in big moments
in his career. I mean, I get the angle that
people have had that he scored against the Rams last week,
because it's like the revenge thing they wanted to get
(32:49):
him involved, get him in the end zone, whatever. For me,
it's more so him showing up in those big moments,
and I think that that's a good price for that.
Or I'll be nice and go either quarterback for a pick,
because I expect both of them to have one in
this game.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I think I like the quarterback pick. We have to
pick one. I'm gonna go with Sam Darnold.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Because I've got both of them logged in the app,
so I'm open to either.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think the pressure that New England can create in
the interior of the offensive line of Seattle is going
to force Donald into some old habits. And I think
he's also going to try and force feed JSN.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Why wouldn't you so, I think.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Over I think there is there an over one and
a half interceptions.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
In the game. Yeah, there's gotta be. I mean there's
there just has to be.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
What is that? I kind of like that. Do you
like that? Over one and a totally yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I would go with that.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I mean, I parlayed both of them to have an interception.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
So because I like, I don't mind either they throw
two interceptions either. I think there's a chance.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
That it's a parlay though, So if we want like
the more likely scenario, we don't have to get too
crazy with it.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
But I really don't care. I'm open to that as well.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Let me Yeah, this is going to be the toughest
time that we have had trying to actually put this
together on the site on the fly, because.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
There is so there's so much stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
So if anybody wants to try and figure that out
as we continue to come through this, definitely we'll do
something with the interceptions.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
I'll look as we're going moving on.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Okay, all right, so we're good on the interceptions. Yeah,
all right, Stucky, you're up.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
First. One is going to be Seattle team total under
twenty five and a half points. I like the under.
I like the Patriots from a numbers perspective. Combine them
you get Seattle going under. I think this will be
a lower scoring game. I like. Here's how I think
(34:57):
the game plays out. I think it's gonna start slow,
as most Super Bowls. I think it's gonna be a
fuel position battle. I think both offenses are gonna be
in the third and long known passing situations a lot.
What does that mean, Well, that's gonna lead to Drake
may sacks potential mistakes. One thing I'm worried about with
his total is just where do those mistakes happen the
variants and that, but they could also happen in the
(35:19):
red zone. They could kill drives, but it's gonna lead
to kill drive killing sacks because I do think you
know that, especially the left side of that Patriots offensive line,
with the simulated pressures that the Seahawks use their inability
of their receivers to get separation against the Seattle secondary,
I think it's gonna be tough sledding because remember, both
of these run defenses are elite, and I don't think
(35:42):
any either team is going to have much success running
the ball on a consistent basis, which means you're gonna
have third and seven, third and eight going up against
the Seahawks defense. Good luck. On the other side, I
think it's going to be just as difficult for Sam Darnold.
He's gonna have to deal with some Patriot it's blitz
looks he's gonna have to deal with a lot of
the stunts that the Patriots use. And then you mentioned
(36:04):
this the interior pressure. The Patriots have two of the
better interior defensive line and in terms of pressure rate
in the league, going up against a vulnerable interior offensive line.
When is Sam Darnold most vulnerable when he's dealing with
interior pressure. So I think it's gonna be tough sledding
for both offenses. I think both defensive lines have a
(36:25):
major advantage in this game, and that will be the
key storyline and trend throughout. So kind of like the
under kind of like taking the points of the Patriots,
let's combine them, go with Seahawks team total under twenty
five and a half. The other will go with let's
go Hunter Henry over thirty nine and a half for
(36:46):
seeding yards. I just think this is a great matchup
for him. By the way, he had I think one
hundred and ten yards against this Seattle, this McDonald defense
last year when these two teams played in the when
the Patriot it's were absolutely terrible on the season. The
Seahawks are they funneled to tight ends, they funnel to
(37:06):
running backs. They don't give up explosive plays like they're
going to allow looks to the tight ends. And Drake
May's gonna have to do that with it. The state
of his offensive line, with the simulated pressures. With the
ability of Seattle to ge pressure, He's gonna have to
mump it off. He's gonna have to get rid of
the ball quick. He's gonna have to, you know, throw
to Henry a bunch. I think he could get a
ton of targets here. The Seahawks on the season allowed
(37:27):
an average of six catches on eight about eight and
a half targets for sixty four yards to tight ends. Henry,
you know, he averaged three point three catches on four
point seven targets for about forty two and a half yards.
But keep in mind, the Patriots played a clown car schedule,
(37:47):
and even in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
They fled lightly.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
They were in weather, and but all year they were
up a lot right so that they weren't in trailing
game scripts. They didn't have to throw a bunch in
the second half of games like they were blowing out
a ton of teams. Like when you play the you know,
the Jets and the Dolphins every other week, you didn't
have to throw that much. So like Henry's Henry, if
the Patriots, and they're more likely than not to be
(38:13):
in a trailing game script have to throw more and
in this matchup in particular there, I don't think you'll
be able to run the ball at all, So like
where and I don't think the ride receivers are going
to be able to get separations. Where are all the
targets going? They gotta go to Henry a lot of them,
Like it's going to be Henry in the backs?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Why not receptions? Then on?
Speaker 5 (38:31):
I like receptions too, but I think that there's a
chance he gets I like the over longest reception of
seventeen and a half. Two.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
You just said something that made me think about my pick. Though.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
If you're in the camp that they're going to beat,
the Drake's going to be kind of playing from behind
and that's going to be their mo. Do you think
that he is more likely to throw an interception if
he's playing from behind and kind of getting you know,
crazy or lazy with that.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
I mean, that's just like the more likely snaro. Yeah,
I I think both at quarterbacks are going to throw
an interception. I mean, yeah, it's the odds are probably close.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
I put him in the chat.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Minus one thirty eight may minus one forty two over
two and a half.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
So there there is no prop on DK from what
I've researched very quickly of over one and a half
total interceptions in the game, but there is an over
two and a half total turnovers, So then we would
also have Drake May and Sam Darnold fumbles in there.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Yah.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Okay, I'm gonna put Evan on the case to see
if there's anything else, but I don't mind that as now,
but to get back to just to finish off Henry,
So yeah, I mean on the over the course of
the season, the Seahawks allowed twenty two This is in
nineteen games, twenty two catches of seventeen plus yards to
tie ends. And Henry had a seventeen plus yard catch
(40:05):
in twelve of twenty games. And remember clown car schedule.
They were not playing from behind a lot, and they
were playing teams that they could run on, which they're
not gonna be able to do here. And speaking of
tight end targets, McDaniels his last five Super Bowls, and
it's not all Gronk was three of the five. He
had Aaron Hernandez and Martell's Bennett were the primary tight
ends and two of the five. But his last five
(40:27):
Super Bowls, McDaniels offenses at the primary tight end averaged
six point eight catches for eighty yards. Here are the
target numbers seventeen, eleven, six, fifteen, and seven. I think
Henry gets like seven or eight targets here, and I
(40:47):
think he gets fifty plus yards, but we'll go over
thirty nine and a half for Hunter Henry. I'm also
on his over receptions and over longest catch.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
I do like receptions better. The number week get is
four plus or over three and a half. If Emon
Worri is alright, which we're not one hundred percent sure
on right now, he's going to erase somebody. It could
be de Mario Douglas, could be Hunter Henry, and that's
my concern with going that route, as if that is
the game plan, then that could be dead on arrival.
(41:18):
I think I like both. I think I would vote
Seattle team total under twenty five and a half.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
I'd be surprised if they get past that.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I was gonna say, I'm gonna be the Hunter Henry
receptions over because I see this game going one of
two ways. Either this is like a seventeen to ten
outcome if both of these quarterbacks, you know, play really
bad versions of their worst football, which would be obviously
a hit for the.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
Team total under. But the other way I see this.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Going is Seattle just beats the shit out of them,
And that's my fear is that this offense just takes
it to the pads, and the pads scoring can't keep up.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
So I'm probably and once again that will to them
playing from behind.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
So I want to say Hunter Henry receptions over Evan.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
I love both of these, to be honest with you,
So I think it's difficult kind of choosing between the two.
Speaker 6 (42:11):
The one thing I did just look out quickly the Patriots.
Yeah there give me tails.
Speaker 8 (42:16):
When the Patriots have trailed this year, Henry is twenty.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
Three of two point fifty two.
Speaker 8 (42:20):
Diggs is twenty six to two eighty six, So they
are both equally as involved in the very small amount
of time New England has trailed this year. If I
had to pick one of the two, though, I think
I would go as stuck in Henry. I think you know,
he's also it's eleven yards per reception when they've trailed,
which is kind of ridiculous for its height end, So
(42:43):
I'll go Hunter Henry, and.
Speaker 6 (42:45):
I think they both hit though to be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (42:48):
Are we going over yards or over receptions? I'll let
you decide of them.
Speaker 8 (42:51):
I mean I kind of like the over is three
and a half, so you're asking for four more? Yeah,
I think I'd go four and more.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Okay, all right, we got that, got that locked in.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
My nominees will be the first quarter under at seven
and a half or the Patriots plus the four and
a half.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
I do think a five could pop up, as it did.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Earlier in the week. I think New England is being
underestimated here. I firmly believe that if this game were
played in the regular season, if these two are still even,
let's neutral cite this, they're playing in Brazil or something,
the line would be slice in a half of where
it is right now. This is recency bias. This is
Drake May's shoulder paranoia that hit the market and Seattle
(43:37):
love that continues to fuel. Why would the books move
it they continue taking Seattle money. What I mean, it
feels like exclusively at this point. We've talked about the
betting splits earlier, over sixty percent of the bets on
the Seattle Seahawks. I think we're getting major value on
the Patriots here and if this game or any other
game throughout the season, all three of us would be
(43:58):
pounding the table for New England play plus four and
a half, no doubt in my mind. I think one
of the biggest mistakes anybody can make going into the
Super Bowl is to treat the game as if it's
like a different just a completely different game that we're playing.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
It's still football game. It's still sixty minutes. The field
dimensions are the exact same. There are pressure aspects, there's
a long halftime show, there are things to take into account,
but it's still a football game, and Pats plus four
and a half is simply good value. The other one
is the first quarter under seven and a half, and
that is more in line with looking at this from
(44:34):
a Super Bowl perspective. Pretty strong trend here, and it
makes sense too, especially with these two teams. You have
Drake may Sam Darnold that have never been in this position.
I would expect their offensive coordinators to be pretty cautious
with the game plan early on. And we've seen teams
with much better offenses than these two, at least much
better quarterback play go under in the first quarter. Last year,
(44:58):
Mahomes and Hurts Round two seven points scored in the
first quarter. Those two also had Super Bowl experience. The
game still went under in the first quarter. Chiefs Niners
zero points scored in the first quarter in Seattle's defense
number two in the NFL in terms of points per
game allowed in the first So those are my nominees.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Kendrick, where do you vote?
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I say first quarter under because both teams obviously have
baller defenses, and I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
I expect some.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Jitters from Donald and May to start, and definitely some
conservative play calling to start as well.
Speaker 5 (45:33):
Stucky, I can't go with the first quarter under. I
mean I used to bet the first quarter under every year,
but it was always it would have been ten five
years ago, so I mean books have caught up on this,
but I think they're over the past ten years. It's
the average has been less than seven.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
But this is.
Speaker 5 (45:50):
You're you're really paying for this one now, I I mean,
Big Daniels, for what it's worth, For like twenty years,
the Patriots didn't score in the first quarter, even with Brady.
It would always be like seven zero zeros earo three zero.
But I do find it funny that you were like,
don't treat this game as this is just the same
(46:11):
as any other game, and then your next bet is
about this being a different game.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I think it starts a different game and then it
becomes it's just a regular game.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
It starts a regular game, it starts it starts with
irregular and then it's a long time and then it
comes back to the regular game.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
There are there are two scenarios where I think the
game is very different the beginning because of the pressure involved.
This is the most important moment in all of these
people's lives, and it hits you the adrenaline that's been
pumping through your veins throughout the course of the day.
It's this crescendo moment everybody's nervous to fuck up.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
And then at the end of halftime.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Where you've been sitting around for thirty five minutes waiting
for bad Bunny to finish up his set list. I
think those two scenario they're playable. There are playable angles there.
Outside of that, it's a football games.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
I'm going to be shaking as on hooters.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
That's my stance on.
Speaker 5 (47:12):
I think it's a very different game, and for you know, obviously,
the pressure the you have everything else. By the way,
I haven't heard a lot of people about Brable after
a bye ye. I mean he's been very been very
good after buy historically. I I think it's very different
in that. In addition to like the pressure and the
(47:33):
crowd and all the hoopla and all the stuff you
have to deal with around it, it's the the what
you do to change, as you know, going into the
highest leverage game possible, right, So you could like the
curve balls that you come up with, the game plans have,
you know, two weeks to prepare for the highest leverage game.
You that that is what makes it so different to me,
(47:54):
Like you could see some teams completely change up things,
come in with a curve about the other team isn't expecting.
That completely changes the game. And from a handicapping perspective,
that's what makes this game, you know, a little bit
more difficult than you know. Not only is it the
last game and we have data for all the teams
in a very efficient market already, but you know, in
a week thirteen game, you can one of the things
(48:17):
I would spend a lot of my time doing, and
I spend a lot of my time doing it for
this game. But is you know, diving into the matchup
and coverages and and schematics on both ends. But both
teams know that, and that's so this is when you
would like change it up right, need to see how
maybe go more man coverage and you know things like that,
(48:38):
maybe blitz rates you change them and all kinds of
things that you can do. So that's what makes it
a different game to me. But I can't go understand
and asks. So I'm going to go Patriots plus four
and a half mine. I think this should be close
to for three and a half.
Speaker 8 (48:50):
Then stuck, He's right about one thing the total first
quarter r one thing, one at the moment, one thing
at the moment. Listen, it's you know, not everybody's perfect,
but seven and a half is very very low. Last year,
nine and a half year before that, nine and a half,
then you got some tens. It hasn't been seven and
(49:12):
a half in the Super Bowl since twenty nineteen. So
I'll go at the Patriots, especially at the four and
a half them and Warry injury.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
For the dog.
Speaker 5 (49:23):
What about this Patriots plus four and a half Seahawks
team total under twenty five and a half Drake made
a thrown interception. Sam Donald a throw an interception eight
to one.
Speaker 4 (49:40):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (49:44):
Seahawks and Patriots are kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
I mean that goes counter to what has been voted
on here. This is a democracy stuck.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
But that's that's what we voted on, right, No, we
voted for Hunter Henry.
Speaker 5 (49:56):
Oh Henry.
Speaker 6 (49:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:57):
I mean, if it's gonna be there on the I'll
change it. That is hate the one. Sorry I just
misspoke Hunter Henry four plus Patriots plus four and a
half and then.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Uh an interception from both.
Speaker 5 (50:13):
Yeah, I hate the one.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
That's that's.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
I kind of I kind of love this guys too.
I think something all right.
Speaker 5 (50:27):
I mean we want to just to choose one of
the quarterbacks and it's going to be around five to one.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, no, I hate that you got to keep the eight.
I'm hoping that this is kind of a ship show.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
Yeah, I think I think production is upset with us
because I believe the graphic is built for three legs.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
But you know, it's the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (50:47):
So we'll go back to the turnovers.
Speaker 4 (50:50):
Okay, so what do we wint?
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Well, so the other the other option, would we rather
have each quarterback to throw at least one pick or
would we rather.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Have let's do and a half?
Speaker 4 (51:01):
What does that change it?
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Two?
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I just xed out of this. I'm gonna sorry, don't worry.
We can find this very quickly. Here we go over
two and a half. We are going to X out
of the interceptions.
Speaker 8 (51:17):
Yeah for us saying this isn't a high profile game,
we're sure treating it like it.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
It is very true.
Speaker 4 (51:25):
It's just like every other football game.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Evan, Ah, not sgpe able. Okay, Wow, we're all right.
We're wrapping this podcast on this. We're going to stick
to three.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Let's pick. Let's now decide.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
This will be the next vote, last vote before the
end of the episode, Sam Darnald or Drake May who
is more likely back to the original question from Kendrick Middleton,
who's more likely to throw an?
Speaker 2 (51:51):
I n T.
Speaker 7 (51:52):
I think it's Darnald, stucky Evan, Uh, Well, let's thought
that this would.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Be the one that put people in a blender.
Speaker 6 (52:04):
It's for our for our bet, you want Donald do
do it right?
Speaker 5 (52:07):
Yeah? For our bet, we want Donald. Well, that's but
that's gonna that's only gonna be like three to one
now because it's correlated. I assume.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
Yeah, plus that one is plus three forty five. If
you go Drake May, it's plus five twenty five, So
Drake May, all right, there we go. Our two Kings
and a Queen parlay in a roundabout way has been
nominated four plus receptions for Hunter Henry Patriots plus four
and a half. Drake May throws at least one I
(52:38):
n T plus five twenty five over on Draft Kings
where the crown is yours. That'll do it for our
episodes plural over the course of the last couple of weeks.

(00:31):
out in the archives. If you didn't catch it live

Super Bowl sixty. But we have business to attend to today.
I'm Brandon Kravitz, joined by the Favorites Croup, the Prime
Minister of djen Nation, Stucky, and the Queen of the Pod,
Miss Kendra Middleton. On today's episode, we've got action or distraction.
(00:53):
We're back to the usual standards here on the Favorites.
We've got Stucky's random question of the Week and our
official I have been waiting weeks for this. Two Kings
and a Queen parlay courtesy of Draft Kings. But first
are stat of the Week, straight from the primer. I'm
gonna give you two conflicting trends here and you guys
are gonna tell me which one holds more statistical.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Relevance to you?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So on the Patriot side, if you go back to
his time with the Titans, Mike Vrabel is the third
most profitable moneyline underdog among all coaches over the last
twenty seasons. Okay, that's the pat side. The Seahawks side
in his career as a favorite of four points or more,
Sam Darnald fifteen and one straight up, eleven and five
(01:41):
ats Kendra, Which of those do you think holds more relevance?
You don't have to reveal your pick here, but if
you're just looking at those two trends, which one of
those do you think is more relevant to the reality
of this Sunday?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I'm gonna say probably Sam Darnald, just because I think
that he's going to play a bigger role in the Seahawks'
success than Rabel will in the Patriots success. He's been
a great coach this season. Obviously, they've been the most
you know, profitable team against the spread, but I think
a lot more credit goes to McDaniels than people want
to give credit for. So I'm going to go with
(02:17):
Sam Donald just because I think so much of this
Patriots team's success on the offensive side has come from McDaniels,
and it's going to continue to have to because they're
going to have to put up more than twenty points
to beat the Seahawks defense.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So I am going to have to wind.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Up continuing to give more credit to McDaniels. Donald being
fifteen and month straight up is crazy and this is
a big moment. And I also am going to give
Sam Donald more respect than I think the national you know,
people who are on the Pats have this week.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
What about you, Stuckey.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We have twenty years of data that point to Mike
Rabel being the third most profitable moneyline underdog among coaches,
and we have I'm surprised that Sam Donald has been
a fan favored to four points or more sixteen times.
To be honest with you, but where do you land
on this? Which one do you think holds more relevancy?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
The Vrabel one for sure. I just think Donald has
been you know, over the past two seasons, has played
on teams with incredible defensive coordinators and defenses, and when
they get a lead, they can, you know, really pile
on teams and beat up on bad quarterbacks. And they
faced a lot of bad quarterbacks over the couple at
(03:29):
the past couple years. Donald's played well over the past
two years, but that's a more of a you know
who which team Donald has been on and as a
result of you know, the defenses that he's benefited from
on his own team. Whereas Vrabel, I think he is
a great coach. He is, you know, a good motivator,
(03:49):
and I do think he does little things in the
games that give the Patriots edges in terms of, you know,
understanding the rules, the little things that you think coaches
NFL coach is only thirty two of them. You think
everyone would understand, but they don't. But the game management,
the clock management, the little things like you know, when
the Broncos subbed with two thirty to go and he
(04:10):
said to his defense, they ran off like really slow
and wasted twenty five seconds. Rabel does a couple of
those things a game. So I do think that he
does provide some real alpha and I do ultimately think
that this game and most Super Bowls are decided by
(04:33):
not you know, not only the quarterbacks. Most importantly, the coaching,
where you have two weeks to prepare. This is when
you throw everything that you have out there. This is
when you come up with potential curve balls and potential
nuanced game plans that the other team isn't prepared for.
And those are the things that can decide games between
you know, two very good teams that are almost always
(04:53):
going to meet in the Super Bowl. So I do
think that the Rabel one holds more merit, and the
battle between this Patriots coaching staff and the Seahawks coaching staff,
I think is going to go along line determining who
is your Super Bowl sixty winner.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I need to know how often he was an underdog though,
because those Titans teams played in a terrible division.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I think they were underdogs quite a bit. And I'll
look up what the Patriots were as far as this
year goes, but I mean, I know they played such
an easy schedule that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That was the reason that I was often Yeah, that
was the reason I chose Jarnald was because my initial
instinct was how often was he actually a dog with
that Titans team in that division?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, as far as this year goes, the New England
Patriots were four and two against the spread as an underdog.
Now that's ats that's not necessarily straight up but just
to give you an idea, if you were looking the
way of the Patriots for this year, they were dogged
six times and they covered in four of those. But
(05:57):
I'm not sure when it comes to Tennessee. But the
Tennessee team wasn't really known. It's not like they were
given a lot of national respect.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, he never had a good quarterback ever, but still
like that division was dog shit for so long.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So I do want to stay on this game. A
lot of people tuning in that. I want to hear
the analysis. We've been previewing it in every different direction,
even bringing NBA cross sport plays into it. We'll get
to our random question of the week in a moment, Bona,
keep this ball a roll in action or distraction time?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
This is abstracted distracted.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm nottacky.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
I want it on the action.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The Seattle Seahawks are getting sixty six percent of the
betting tickets according to the Action Network app. In the
last twenty three years of bet Labs data, only seven
Super Bowl teams have closed with sixty plus percent of
the bets. Overwhelmingly, people are betting the Seattle Seahawks. Every
analyst I hear nationally certainly the public betting numbers that
(06:58):
are out there, per Action Network are telling us and
a bit with a big flashing neon sign that people
are betting the Seattle Seahawks minus the points. However, the
public has been really good at betting these Super Bowls.
When things are tilted in one direction, they are five
and two straight up against the spread. When teams are
catching sixty plus percent of the tickets. Action or distraction, Kendro,
(07:23):
the public is Super Bowl sharp.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think a lot of it has to do with one,
how much name in this year in particular, how much
name recognition is on this Seattle team versus this Patriots team.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Like this, it makes sense to.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Me why the public in this particular game would be
on them, because, like JSN, a lot of people are
talking about, you know, how good of a season he's had,
The kids love him. One of the highest selling jerseys
for Christmas this year, Sam Darnold's turnaround.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You can talk about, you know, Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
He's been really popular amongst you know, like casual fans
to talk about, especially because of Fantasy and all that
stuff this year. So I think in this year in particular,
it's just the lack of name recognition for people in
this Patriots team, because you want to bet on people
that you know, right, that are popular, like the general
public is going to continue to do that. And also
dogs have done really well in Super Bowls when betting,
(08:19):
So I would say that it's more so we talked
about this before we got on the show, right Like,
by the time that today rolled around, I had been
doing so much research and digging into this so much
that I feel like I'm starting to doubt myself in
my initial gut instincts.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So I think it's probably a little.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Bit of you know, we have watched so much of
these teams by the time this game comes around, we've
overthought it to a point that maybe that gets people
like us in trouble, and the general public is just
like we I love JSN and Cooper Cup, Let's bet
on them because it's fun, you know what I mean? Like,
I think that that's probably the way that I personally
see this.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Whether that's right or wrong, who's to say, but that I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Just yeah, I'm surprised because if I was told, Okay,
you've had seven Super Bowls over the last twenty three years,
where sixty plus percent of the bets are on one side.
And then you said, Okay, now that you have that information,
predict the record of those seven Super Bowls for the
betting public. I would not have been anywhere close to
five and two. I'm surprised that they've been that successful
(09:17):
for a game.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That is why though at.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Patrick Mahomes, so many people are for the most part,
these are probably Mahomes and Brady, So it's like those
are the that's where the public money is going to
be stucky.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
How do you read that?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Because this is the most bet game of the entire year,
and this is where the percentages perhaps matter more than
any other game that we talk about throughout the year.
And yet when it's tilted, the public has done quite well.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I mean it's seven games who cares? And then it's
one game the public can win. Any one game the
football game played with an oblong ball. There's no like
the mart We pretty much know around where the spread
should be, where these teams are power rated. Like I
don't put any marriage into it at all, zero weight
into that. I will say like a lot of times
(10:03):
people are just gonna bet what they just saw. And
that's that's why I think this line is a little
too high. People just saw the Seahawks beat the Rams,
and then the Patriots, you know, struggle against Jared Stidham,
and their offense doesn't look great. So that's what everyone
is and they're.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Reading stuckies tweets about how easy the Patriots the Patriots' schedule.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
So like, there's there's a lot of recency byes that's
always gonna happen when it comes to NFL betting, But
I think it's completely meaningless in a seven game stample size.
Plus you have to remember that, like the books, if
the Seahawks covered, they're like, who cares, Like they're they're
they're gonna get so much volume in this game, and
(10:43):
the props and the total and the parlays like that's
there that I think the Las Vegas sports with the
lost two Super Bowls, I think in fifty years, So yeah,
ultimately it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just think in general.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
The last point on this is that the the idea,
I don't think that you should base your your bet
on the side off of what the public percentages say.
But what I find interesting about it is that you
have a lot of people that are rushing to the
market to bet this that typically don't bet that are
accounting for these numbers, and then you have folks that
(11:22):
are not. They're not reacting to recency bias, and those
things would be counterintuitive. Typically the bet that is counterintuitive
is going to be the one that gets a lower
percentage of the wagers.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And yet that bet has not won over seven games.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
That it's completely meaningless as a meaning of sample size.
And I will say, like even if, just like if
you're worrying about all the public, which you shouldn't do,
the like with the public's gonna win this game. Most
people that are coming to bet this game like they're
they're gonna parlay with something. Sports folks would love, They
would not care, would not lose any sweat. There's all
(12:00):
so futures you have to consider, So the futures exposure
for certain sports books. But the sportsbook would jump for
joy and have no m no issues with the Seahawks
covering and as long as they you know, and the
game stayed under and nothing happened, and it was a
ten to nothing final, and no one scored touchdowns and
(12:21):
no one went over their yards.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, here's a question.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Then what what results let's go for both of you
very quick. A result that you think would cost the
sports books money?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
What result?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Is it even possible because of how many people bet
dumb parlays?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
No, because I think wasn't the wasn't last year's Eagles
super Bowl like the most the public had ever won
or something like that, or the Super Bowl before was,
and it still wasn't even like that insane.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I believe the only time in the last twenty years
or so were the where the actual uh books lost
money was when the Giants beat the Patriots the second time.
I mean, it really just doesn't happen. To Stucky's point,
I just wonder if there's any scenario.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, people are dumping all their money into parlays, and
I think that that's just how they're how they're gonna
make their money. Because of all the boosts and all
that crap. People think, oh, yeah, this is totally gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I just I don't. I don't see away unless this.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Is like, dude, easy that it would have to be in.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Total is like seventy five, Yeah, has three touchdowns thirty
eight thirty five, or like forty two thirty forty one
to thirty five final in overtime, and there's if.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
The defense just sits down.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Defense Like there's a defensive special teams score, there's a safety.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Kenneth Walker hits an octopus.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Yeah, yeah, there's all those all those random things like
are very high Williams favorite wins, favorite covers parlayed to
the overs, and like everyone that was supposed to score
scores and gives over their yardage. That would probly the
worst case scenario.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All right, let's talk about this injury Stucky. We had
a significant bit of news pop up last night. The
Studs safety the Unicorn, nick Emmon Warri, injured his ankle
and practice. Apparently coaches and players came over to comfort him.
There's a video of him limping into the team hotel.
Action or distraction on this injury news for Ima and.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Warri major action, Like that's something that I'm monitoring.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I have.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
The Seahawks team total under I haven't bet the side
yet leaning Patriots. I would bet the Patriots, if even
more is not one hundred percent, are out at this number.
And he's so important to everything that they do. He
enables them to do all of the things that they
do that make their defense at Unicorn. He gives McDonald
ultimate flexibility he found in even more his Hamilton, and
(15:01):
it enables them to play a ton of dime and
do it effectively. They can defend the run, they can
defend heavy packages, they can defend the pass, you know,
without having to ever take even more off the field.
And he is a major part of that defense. People
just spent a week talking about how important even where
(15:25):
it is, and how critical he's been to the success
of that defense, and I agree, I don't think people
are talking enough about his potential injury. I don't have
any insight into how serious or not it is, but
it's something that I'm monitoring, and I think it's certainly
a major late week storyline. And then on the other side,
(15:47):
they give roberts plane like how healthy is he going
to be? Eat in practice again yesterday. He hasn't practiced
in two weeks. He wasn't that effective in the Denver
game early before he left with an injury, and the
Pat's defense is much better with him in there. So
(16:10):
that's another one that I'm monitoring. So those are two
key pieces, one on each defense that could have an
impact on this game.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Harold Landry also on the more positive end of the
injury news was able to practice. He didn't even play
in the AFC Championship game. He's the sack leader for
the New England Patriots. Kenda, have you heard anything on
the optimism or lack thereof around Landry?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Honestly, it's not been a huge topic of conversation around here,
which makes me think either it's worse than people think
or better than people think.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And I really don't know where I side on that.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
At the moment, they need all.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
They can get, for sure to stop the Seattle attack.
The prop for the total number of songs performed by
Bad Bunny is set at eleven and a half. Mine
seems pretty high. I was doing some total song research.
Rihanna got up to twelve. So Kendra, action or distraction
on betting the under on Bad Bunny total songs performed.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I saw you put this in here, and I did
some research as well, and.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I have wound up on the under strong.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I'm gonna say probably like the nine or ten area,
because if you look at kind of the past performers,
like the reason Rihanna got that's got so high is
because when you think about her songs like she has
those catchy, like you know, choruses of songs, and those
are easy to switch in and out of when they're
like that upbeat, you know, Boots and Cats style music
(17:40):
that you can bop in and out of, Whereas I
think his music is more comparable to some of the
slower artists that have hit that under in the past,
where he's a storyteller in his music, so there has
to be a little bit more time for him to
be able to get that story across before moving on
to the next song.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
And also, the rumor has it right now that Cardi
b might.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Be coming on the stage, so if they play I
like It, I think that that means that she stays
around longer and that eats up more time.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Over Under one and a half Bad Bunny song streamed
by Stucky after the Super bowls completed.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I'm gonna go under.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Oh well, Stucky, you want to all right?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Sharp sharp bet sharp bets across the board on the
under there, i'd Stucky, let's dig into it back to
football in a moment. We've got our official plays coming
up Kendri's pickle prop for Super Bowl sixty. But it
is time to dive into the weird, the bizarre, the random.
I'll kick it over to Stucky for his random super
(18:39):
Bowl question of the week.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Hey, this is a dumb question.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Let me ask you a personal question kind of question?
Is that this question?
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Let's go, let's keep it super Bowl. Well, actually, the
first thing I'll say is, I you mentioned that your
kid lost his first tooth, And did I ever tell
you that my tooth fairy story? So when I was
a kid, well it was winter time, so it was
(19:12):
like December or January, and there was a huge winter
storm and we lost power in our house, and we
went to my uncle's house and we slept in like
(19:34):
all me and my cousins. We slept in the basement.
I remember we had like sleeping bags and we just
made it like this fun thing. But I lost my
my tooth. What dide? Did you lose your first tooth?
That is it different for everybody. I think it was
like seven. I don't know if it was my first
(19:55):
tooth or not, but it was definitely at an age
where my parents were still thinking that I didn't I
thought the tooth fairy was a thing, but I kind
of knew that it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
But my dad had that figured out by three, So
we go over.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
And so I lost my tooth that day. So I
brought the tooth with me. And then I'm like, well,
the tooth fairies and I didn't want to go with
my uncles because, uh I was I remember, I was
like still skeptical if that the tooth fairy was was real.
But so I was like, I don't want to go
because the tooth fairy is not going to know to
where I am if I'm not so. But my parents like,
(20:34):
now they they know where you are, no matter where
you are. So I go there. I go down the
basement in the sleep bag. I put the tooth under
my pillow, and then my dad was upstairs, and uh
was got pretty hammered. And then so he comes down
(20:58):
at like three in the morning. We were still up
the kind of still up, kind of drifting to sleep,
and my dad comes down at like three in the
morning in the dark, and uh, he had like a
handful of coins. And then he comes down and then
(21:20):
he trips on my over my brother in the sleeping bag,
falls onto like right on top of me, and then
the coins go everywhere. And then I looked at him,
and he looked at me. So that's how I confirmed
that the tooth Fairy wasn't a thing. So a very
(21:40):
awkward moment for him. I like, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Then like pretend to fly away a little bit.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I think he was like the tooth Fairy told me
to give this to you couldn't get down here or something.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know who fairy got loaded on bourbon. Sorry,
couldn't make it downstairs.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yes, that was funny. What is your worst your best
end or worst super Bowl memory? Like from a day
viewing or it could be a player a game. My
worst by far was Patriots Falcons twenty eight to three,
(22:25):
put Falcons plus four and a half. I also had
the under Falcons plus four and a half, one of
the biggest bets I've ever made. I always see these
trends about the four plus point underdogs that always cover.
I had plus four and a half with the Falcons.
They ended up closing I think three three and a half.
But that was I was at my friend. Our friends
asked me we always have a super Bowl party. We'd
stay up all night the night before, we'd drink, we'd
(22:46):
roast a butt out on the smoker and then just
make it a whole weekend. Everyone was betting the Falcons
with me. It's one of my biggest bets ever. At
one point we were jumping around like in a circle
up twenty eight to the three in front of the
TV by the end of the game. By the when
it went to overtime the coin toss. Once the Patriots
(23:07):
won the coin toss, it was a morgue at the party.
And then the Patriots score a touchdown that was absolutely miserable.
Had to go to work the next day. It was.
That was brutal twenty seventeen, last time I worked in
corporate America. Ah, so, yeah, that was the worst by far.
(23:29):
Best is Raven's winning Super Bowls. But how about you.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I was nine years old the forty nine Ers were
playing the Chargers. That was Steve Young's Super Bowl, and
my parents dragged me to their friend's house and their
kids sucked and they were around my age, but they
were just we were not friends. They were so annoying.
The parents were weird. I just remember having the worst
(23:56):
time at this party. I'm nine years old, and I
decided that moment, I am not doing Super Bowl parties anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm done. I gave it up. At nine. It was
that bad.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And while my dog is freaking out, he's upset about
it too, and uh, yeah, that's that's the one for me.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I forget what number that super Bowl was, but it
was forty nine Ers, Chargers.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
It was terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
My best was gonna be when the Patriots played the
Eagles in the Super Bowl in Jacksonville because the next
day at school, I was in third grade and everyone
was like.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Oh my god, did you stay up and watch the
Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And it was just super fun that we had something
that cool in town. And it's one of my first
super Bowl memories. My Actually, maybe my best was my
junior year up here at You and H when it
was Brady's last super Bowl with the Patriots, because I
got to go out and party all night that night,
and the streets were flooded and people were like lighting
(24:54):
stuff on fire and climbing all the buildings at school.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I don't know if I have a worst. I don't
think I've had a worst. Actually, I got a fight.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I got a fight with a boy a couple of
years ago during one of the chief Super Bowls. I
was pretty drunk, and I don't remember what year would
have been I think probably twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
But that wasn't that terrible. He kind of sucked. I
don't know. I don't think I have a bad one,
only good.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I did Panthers. My friend got so drunky. We had
to go to the hospital and he had to get
a stomach pumped. That was That was a rough one.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Actually, no, my worst My best friend got so hammered
during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
That was also one of my favorite nights.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
That she tried to punch me in the face and
I had to put her in an uber home.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
That that reminded me of. That reminds me of not
the punch, but the drinking I did. I don't think
I missed an NFL Sunday Slate. I don't in my life,
you know, since I started watching football at primetime NFL
game anything like. I mean, I was listening at listening
to the red zone while my you know, right after
my kid was being born, I had at streaming. So
(26:03):
but I did miss the Super Bowl. I missed an
entire Super Bowl except for one play. I was out
this when I was in college.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You were blackout at GW No.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
No, no, I like legitimately missed it. I was in college,
went to GW. We were down visiting my friend at JMU,
which was a great party school at least at the time,
and we were up and just partying the entire weekend.
And then it was like Sunday at ten in the morning,
(26:38):
and we were My friend came down from Philly, picked
me up on the way, and then drove me down
on like a Friday. He had to go back and
then he wanted to go back to get the Philly
bug done to Super Bowl, so he drove me back.
We ended up getting back and we stopped for lunch.
We got back at like three point thirty four o'clock. Exhausted.
(27:00):
I haven't slept in a couple of days. I was
so I was going to go out for the Super Bowl,
but then I decided against it. I was like, I'm
just so beat. So I was like, I'm just gonna
watch it in my apartment, and so I like ordered
some food and then laid down on my couch. By
the time like I got all situated, there was like
(27:22):
an hour till kick I ate, and then I was
just laying on my couch, had all my bets in.
I saw Devin Hester return the opening kick. This is
Bear's Cult super Bowl. Devin has to return the opening
kick that I woke up with with the news on
(27:42):
I fell asleep and didn't wake up until after the
super Bowl. Weirdest feeling like I missed an entire like
so and then I mean the Cult won. So all
I saw was.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Try the last time you slept in your life.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And if that happened now, because Twitter wasn't a thing,
then if that happened now and we didn't see any
stucky tweets rolling through the timeline, I would be convinced
you were.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I would call like a I would have Gifford like
message your wife on the internet and make sure you
were alive. I did miss the first half of the
Brady Buck Super Bowl because we were coming back from
Radio Row and our network cheaped out and sent us
on that flight out of Tampa.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That was my only experience on Radio Row that year.
That's another worst experience was the year the Bucks were
in the Super Bowl in Tampa and then the Radio
Row was a ghost town.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I mean there they were talking, it was rolling. Yeah,
it was I think.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
The most famous person I interviewed there was like the
city Commissioner of Tampa.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It was it was Arris.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Was just some drunk dude on the street. Was probably
the best interview I got.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It was such a waste of time. Still to come.
Speaker 1 (28:50):

Speaker 2 (29:24):

Speaker 1 (29:25):
The triumphant super return of Kendrew's Pickle prop.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Let's pop the jar back open. What are we looking at?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
We're in a pickle now, I'm really gonna pickle now?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
All right, look we're gonna pickle again.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Hey, so this was the I've already put this in
to the action app, but I put this in my
pickle prop because I'm hoping that it will make people
think as hard about Jake Bobo as I did, because
I don't know if that's punishment or not.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
But I did a lot of Jake Bobo research, and
I have him over half a receiving yard.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I was looking at the difference in price between him
to have a receiving yard and to have a reception,
and Kravitz and I went over this prior to us
hopping on here, but it was plus one point eighty
for a receiving yard and plus one thirty to have
a reception. Obviously, he has to get beyond the line
of scrimmage, which is probably the discrepancy in price. But
I think because Jake Bobo is a hometown kid here
(30:23):
in Massachusetts playing in a super Bowl against the Patriots,
I think that they try and target him, try and
get him a catch in this, just as like a
hey kid, you're playing in the Super Bowl against your
hometown team type of thing. So I thought there was
value in doing this, and I've had so much Jake
Bobo on my timeline that I want a reason to
low key cheer.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
For him because he's from like North Andover or something.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
But I, yeah, Jake Bobo, I've put way too much
thought into this, so it had me in a pickle.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Are you in a pickle about Jake Bobo?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I do like the idea of going price up on
the yards rather than the reception, because if Bobo does
get involved, we've seen him not catch the ball very
much this yea, but when he does it's usually.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Past the sticks. So energy, yes, very much so.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
But I've done no Bobo research among all the research
I have done, so that is all the analysis I have.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
You, I have no idea. I mean that just comes
down to the game plan. So when I would go
with the higher upside, like do they want to how
much they want to put him on the field take
sheets feed off? I don't know, but uh yeah, that's
not my specialty. That's going to come down to game plan,
how much they want to use the snack count targets.
(31:33):
But I don't hate it.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Let's get an alt line going in there too, because
if he gets a catch, he's probably going past ten yards.
So I think we could get some we could have
some fun with that one too. It is time for
the reason you all came here this week, our two
Kings and a Queen parlay. Reminder for how this works.
Because it's been a couple of weeks, we each nominate
two plays, see if we can find some general consensus
(31:56):
on the board. Evan Abrams will break ties if they exist,
and we will eventually land on our team built parlay,
our first ever as a trio for a Super Bowl.
Kendra get Us.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Started, all right, So I'm going to give you guys
a couple extra options just because I'm nice like that
and I've been all over it. One Cooper Cup for
in anytime plus two to fifty.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
I just think.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I'm in the camp that I expect the JSN Christian
Gonzalez battle to be the primary matchup for him. So
I think that that's going to free up Cooper Cup.
Plus two to fifty feels like really good odds for him.
He's obviously played in a super Bowl before, scored in
Super Bowl before, has played really well in big moments
in his career. I mean, I get the angle that
people have had that he scored against the Rams last week,
because it's like the revenge thing they wanted to get
(32:49):
him involved, get him in the end zone, whatever. For me,
it's more so him showing up in those big moments,
and I think that that's a good price for that.
Or I'll be nice and go either quarterback for a pick,
because I expect both of them to have one in
this game.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I think I like the quarterback pick. We have to
pick one. I'm gonna go with Sam Darnold.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Because I've got both of them logged in the app,
so I'm open to either.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think the pressure that New England can create in
the interior of the offensive line of Seattle is going
to force Donald into some old habits. And I think
he's also going to try and force feed JSN.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Why wouldn't you so, I think.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Over I think there is there an over one and
a half interceptions.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
In the game. Yeah, there's gotta be. I mean there's
there just has to be.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
What is that? I kind of like that. Do you
like that? Over one and a totally yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I would go with that.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I mean, I parlayed both of them to have an interception.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
So because I like, I don't mind either they throw
two interceptions either. I think there's a chance.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
That it's a parlay though, So if we want like
the more likely scenario, we don't have to get too
crazy with it.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
But I really don't care. I'm open to that as well.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Let me Yeah, this is going to be the toughest
time that we have had trying to actually put this
together on the site on the fly, because.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
There is so there's so much stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
So if anybody wants to try and figure that out
as we continue to come through this, definitely we'll do
something with the interceptions.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
I'll look as we're going moving on.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Okay, all right, so we're good on the interceptions. Yeah,
all right, Stucky, you're up.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
First. One is going to be Seattle team total under
twenty five and a half points. I like the under.
I like the Patriots from a numbers perspective. Combine them
you get Seattle going under. I think this will be
a lower scoring game. I like. Here's how I think
(34:57):
the game plays out. I think it's gonna start slow,
as most Super Bowls. I think it's gonna be a
fuel position battle. I think both offenses are gonna be
in the third and long known passing situations a lot.
What does that mean, Well, that's gonna lead to Drake
may sacks potential mistakes. One thing I'm worried about with
his total is just where do those mistakes happen the
variants and that, but they could also happen in the
(35:19):
red zone. They could kill drives, but it's gonna lead
to kill drive killing sacks because I do think you
know that, especially the left side of that Patriots offensive line,
with the simulated pressures that the Seahawks use their inability
of their receivers to get separation against the Seattle secondary,
I think it's gonna be tough sledding because remember, both
of these run defenses are elite, and I don't think
(35:42):
any either team is going to have much success running
the ball on a consistent basis, which means you're gonna
have third and seven, third and eight going up against
the Seahawks defense. Good luck. On the other side, I
think it's going to be just as difficult for Sam Darnold.
He's gonna have to deal with some Patriot it's blitz
looks he's gonna have to deal with a lot of
the stunts that the Patriots use. And then you mentioned
(36:04):
this the interior pressure. The Patriots have two of the
better interior defensive line and in terms of pressure rate
in the league, going up against a vulnerable interior offensive line.
When is Sam Darnold most vulnerable when he's dealing with
interior pressure. So I think it's gonna be tough sledding
for both offenses. I think both defensive lines have a
(36:25):
major advantage in this game, and that will be the
key storyline and trend throughout. So kind of like the
under kind of like taking the points of the Patriots,
let's combine them, go with Seahawks team total under twenty
five and a half. The other will go with let's
go Hunter Henry over thirty nine and a half for
(36:46):
seeding yards. I just think this is a great matchup
for him. By the way, he had I think one
hundred and ten yards against this Seattle, this McDonald defense
last year when these two teams played in the when
the Patriot it's were absolutely terrible on the season. The
Seahawks are they funneled to tight ends, they funnel to
(37:06):
running backs. They don't give up explosive plays like they're
going to allow looks to the tight ends. And Drake
May's gonna have to do that with it. The state
of his offensive line, with the simulated pressures. With the
ability of Seattle to ge pressure, He's gonna have to
mump it off. He's gonna have to get rid of
the ball quick. He's gonna have to, you know, throw
to Henry a bunch. I think he could get a
ton of targets here. The Seahawks on the season allowed
(37:27):
an average of six catches on eight about eight and
a half targets for sixty four yards to tight ends. Henry,
you know, he averaged three point three catches on four
point seven targets for about forty two and a half yards.
But keep in mind, the Patriots played a clown car schedule,
(37:47):
and even in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
They fled lightly.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
They were in weather, and but all year they were
up a lot right so that they weren't in trailing
game scripts. They didn't have to throw a bunch in
the second half of games like they were blowing out
a ton of teams. Like when you play the you know,
the Jets and the Dolphins every other week, you didn't
have to throw that much. So like Henry's Henry, if
the Patriots, and they're more likely than not to be
(38:13):
in a trailing game script have to throw more and
in this matchup in particular there, I don't think you'll
be able to run the ball at all, So like
where and I don't think the ride receivers are going
to be able to get separations. Where are all the
targets going? They gotta go to Henry a lot of them,
Like it's going to be Henry in the backs?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Why not receptions? Then on?
Speaker 5 (38:31):
I like receptions too, but I think that there's a
chance he gets I like the over longest reception of
seventeen and a half. Two.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
You just said something that made me think about my pick. Though.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
If you're in the camp that they're going to beat,
the Drake's going to be kind of playing from behind
and that's going to be their mo. Do you think
that he is more likely to throw an interception if
he's playing from behind and kind of getting you know,
crazy or lazy with that.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
I mean, that's just like the more likely snaro. Yeah,
I I think both at quarterbacks are going to throw
an interception. I mean, yeah, it's the odds are probably close.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
I put him in the chat.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Minus one thirty eight may minus one forty two over
two and a half.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
So there there is no prop on DK from what
I've researched very quickly of over one and a half
total interceptions in the game, but there is an over
two and a half total turnovers, So then we would
also have Drake May and Sam Darnold fumbles in there.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Yah.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Okay, I'm gonna put Evan on the case to see
if there's anything else, but I don't mind that as now,
but to get back to just to finish off Henry,
So yeah, I mean on the over the course of
the season, the Seahawks allowed twenty two This is in
nineteen games, twenty two catches of seventeen plus yards to
tie ends. And Henry had a seventeen plus yard catch
(40:05):
in twelve of twenty games. And remember clown car schedule.
They were not playing from behind a lot, and they
were playing teams that they could run on, which they're
not gonna be able to do here. And speaking of
tight end targets, McDaniels his last five Super Bowls, and
it's not all Gronk was three of the five. He
had Aaron Hernandez and Martell's Bennett were the primary tight
ends and two of the five. But his last five
(40:27):
Super Bowls, McDaniels offenses at the primary tight end averaged
six point eight catches for eighty yards. Here are the
target numbers seventeen, eleven, six, fifteen, and seven. I think
Henry gets like seven or eight targets here, and I
(40:47):
think he gets fifty plus yards, but we'll go over
thirty nine and a half for Hunter Henry. I'm also
on his over receptions and over longest catch.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
I do like receptions better. The number week get is
four plus or over three and a half. If Emon
Worri is alright, which we're not one hundred percent sure
on right now, he's going to erase somebody. It could
be de Mario Douglas, could be Hunter Henry, and that's
my concern with going that route, as if that is
the game plan, then that could be dead on arrival.
(41:18):
I think I like both. I think I would vote
Seattle team total under twenty five and a half.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
I'd be surprised if they get past that.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I was gonna say, I'm gonna be the Hunter Henry
receptions over because I see this game going one of
two ways. Either this is like a seventeen to ten
outcome if both of these quarterbacks, you know, play really
bad versions of their worst football, which would be obviously
a hit for the.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
Team total under. But the other way I see this.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Going is Seattle just beats the shit out of them,
And that's my fear is that this offense just takes
it to the pads, and the pads scoring can't keep up.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
So I'm probably and once again that will to them
playing from behind.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
So I want to say Hunter Henry receptions over Evan.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
I love both of these, to be honest with you,
So I think it's difficult kind of choosing between the two.
Speaker 6 (42:11):
The one thing I did just look out quickly the Patriots.
Yeah there give me tails.
Speaker 8 (42:16):
When the Patriots have trailed this year, Henry is twenty.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
Three of two point fifty two.
Speaker 8 (42:20):
Diggs is twenty six to two eighty six, So they
are both equally as involved in the very small amount
of time New England has trailed this year. If I
had to pick one of the two, though, I think
I would go as stuck in Henry. I think you know,
he's also it's eleven yards per reception when they've trailed,
which is kind of ridiculous for its height end, So
(42:43):
I'll go Hunter Henry, and.
Speaker 6 (42:45):
I think they both hit though to be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (42:48):
Are we going over yards or over receptions? I'll let
you decide of them.
Speaker 8 (42:51):
I mean I kind of like the over is three
and a half, so you're asking for four more? Yeah,
I think I'd go four and more.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Okay, all right, we got that, got that locked in.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
My nominees will be the first quarter under at seven
and a half or the Patriots plus the four and
a half.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
I do think a five could pop up, as it did.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Earlier in the week. I think New England is being
underestimated here. I firmly believe that if this game were
played in the regular season, if these two are still even,
let's neutral cite this, they're playing in Brazil or something,
the line would be slice in a half of where
it is right now. This is recency bias. This is
Drake May's shoulder paranoia that hit the market and Seattle
(43:37):
love that continues to fuel. Why would the books move
it they continue taking Seattle money. What I mean, it
feels like exclusively at this point. We've talked about the
betting splits earlier, over sixty percent of the bets on
the Seattle Seahawks. I think we're getting major value on
the Patriots here and if this game or any other
game throughout the season, all three of us would be
(43:58):
pounding the table for New England play plus four and
a half, no doubt in my mind. I think one
of the biggest mistakes anybody can make going into the
Super Bowl is to treat the game as if it's
like a different just a completely different game that we're playing.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
It's still football game. It's still sixty minutes. The field
dimensions are the exact same. There are pressure aspects, there's
a long halftime show, there are things to take into account,
but it's still a football game, and Pats plus four
and a half is simply good value. The other one
is the first quarter under seven and a half, and
that is more in line with looking at this from
(44:34):
a Super Bowl perspective. Pretty strong trend here, and it
makes sense too, especially with these two teams. You have
Drake may Sam Darnold that have never been in this position.
I would expect their offensive coordinators to be pretty cautious
with the game plan early on. And we've seen teams
with much better offenses than these two, at least much
better quarterback play go under in the first quarter. Last year,
(44:58):
Mahomes and Hurts Round two seven points scored in the
first quarter. Those two also had Super Bowl experience. The
game still went under in the first quarter. Chiefs Niners
zero points scored in the first quarter in Seattle's defense
number two in the NFL in terms of points per
game allowed in the first So those are my nominees.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Kendrick, where do you vote?
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I say first quarter under because both teams obviously have
baller defenses, and I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
I expect some.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Jitters from Donald and May to start, and definitely some
conservative play calling to start as well.
Speaker 5 (45:33):
Stucky, I can't go with the first quarter under. I
mean I used to bet the first quarter under every year,
but it was always it would have been ten five
years ago, so I mean books have caught up on this,
but I think they're over the past ten years. It's
the average has been less than seven.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
But this is.
Speaker 5 (45:50):
You're you're really paying for this one now, I I mean,
Big Daniels, for what it's worth, For like twenty years,
the Patriots didn't score in the first quarter, even with Brady.
It would always be like seven zero zeros earo three zero.
But I do find it funny that you were like,
don't treat this game as this is just the same
(46:11):
as any other game, and then your next bet is
about this being a different game.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I think it starts a different game and then it
becomes it's just a regular game.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
It starts a regular game, it starts it starts with
irregular and then it's a long time and then it
comes back to the regular game.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
There are there are two scenarios where I think the
game is very different the beginning because of the pressure involved.
This is the most important moment in all of these
people's lives, and it hits you the adrenaline that's been
pumping through your veins throughout the course of the day.
It's this crescendo moment everybody's nervous to fuck up.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
And then at the end of halftime.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Where you've been sitting around for thirty five minutes waiting
for bad Bunny to finish up his set list. I
think those two scenario they're playable. There are playable angles there.
Outside of that, it's a football games.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
I'm going to be shaking as on hooters.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
That's my stance on.
Speaker 5 (47:12):
I think it's a very different game, and for you know, obviously,
the pressure the you have everything else. By the way,
I haven't heard a lot of people about Brable after
a bye ye. I mean he's been very been very
good after buy historically. I I think it's very different
in that. In addition to like the pressure and the
(47:33):
crowd and all the hoopla and all the stuff you
have to deal with around it, it's the the what
you do to change, as you know, going into the
highest leverage game possible, right, So you could like the
curve balls that you come up with, the game plans have,
you know, two weeks to prepare for the highest leverage game.
You that that is what makes it so different to me,
(47:54):
Like you could see some teams completely change up things,
come in with a curve about the other team isn't expecting.
That completely changes the game. And from a handicapping perspective,
that's what makes this game, you know, a little bit
more difficult than you know. Not only is it the
last game and we have data for all the teams
in a very efficient market already, but you know, in
a week thirteen game, you can one of the things
(48:17):
I would spend a lot of my time doing, and
I spend a lot of my time doing it for
this game. But is you know, diving into the matchup
and coverages and and schematics on both ends. But both
teams know that, and that's so this is when you
would like change it up right, need to see how
maybe go more man coverage and you know things like that,
(48:38):
maybe blitz rates you change them and all kinds of
things that you can do. So that's what makes it
a different game to me. But I can't go understand
and asks. So I'm going to go Patriots plus four
and a half mine. I think this should be close
to for three and a half.
Speaker 8 (48:50):
Then stuck, He's right about one thing the total first
quarter r one thing, one at the moment, one thing
at the moment. Listen, it's you know, not everybody's perfect,
but seven and a half is very very low. Last year,
nine and a half year before that, nine and a half,
then you got some tens. It hasn't been seven and
(49:12):
a half in the Super Bowl since twenty nineteen. So
I'll go at the Patriots, especially at the four and
a half them and Warry injury.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
For the dog.
Speaker 5 (49:23):
What about this Patriots plus four and a half Seahawks
team total under twenty five and a half Drake made
a thrown interception. Sam Donald a throw an interception eight
to one.
Speaker 4 (49:40):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (49:44):
Seahawks and Patriots are kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
I mean that goes counter to what has been voted
on here. This is a democracy stuck.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
But that's that's what we voted on, right, No, we
voted for Hunter Henry.
Speaker 5 (49:56):
Oh Henry.
Speaker 6 (49:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:57):
I mean, if it's gonna be there on the I'll
change it. That is hate the one. Sorry I just
misspoke Hunter Henry four plus Patriots plus four and a
half and then.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Uh an interception from both.
Speaker 5 (50:13):
Yeah, I hate the one.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
That's that's.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
I kind of I kind of love this guys too.
I think something all right.
Speaker 5 (50:27):
I mean we want to just to choose one of
the quarterbacks and it's going to be around five to one.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, no, I hate that you got to keep the eight.
I'm hoping that this is kind of a ship show.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
Yeah, I think I think production is upset with us
because I believe the graphic is built for three legs.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
But you know, it's the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (50:47):
So we'll go back to the turnovers.
Speaker 4 (50:50):
Okay, so what do we wint?
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Well, so the other the other option, would we rather
have each quarterback to throw at least one pick or
would we rather.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Have let's do and a half?
Speaker 4 (51:01):
What does that change it?
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Two?
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I just xed out of this. I'm gonna sorry, don't worry.
We can find this very quickly. Here we go over
two and a half. We are going to X out
of the interceptions.
Speaker 8 (51:17):
Yeah for us saying this isn't a high profile game,
we're sure treating it like it.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
It is very true.
Speaker 4 (51:25):
It's just like every other football game.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Evan, Ah, not sgpe able. Okay, Wow, we're all right.
We're wrapping this podcast on this. We're going to stick
to three.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Let's pick. Let's now decide.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
This will be the next vote, last vote before the
end of the episode, Sam Darnald or Drake May who
is more likely back to the original question from Kendrick Middleton,
who's more likely to throw an?
Speaker 2 (51:51):
I n T.
Speaker 7 (51:52):
I think it's Darnald, stucky Evan, Uh, Well, let's thought
that this would.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Be the one that put people in a blender.
Speaker 6 (52:04):
It's for our for our bet, you want Donald do
do it right?
Speaker 5 (52:07):
Yeah? For our bet, we want Donald. Well, that's but
that's gonna that's only gonna be like three to one
now because it's correlated. I assume.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
Yeah, plus that one is plus three forty five. If
you go Drake May, it's plus five twenty five, So
Drake May, all right, there we go. Our two Kings
and a Queen parlay in a roundabout way has been
nominated four plus receptions for Hunter Henry Patriots plus four
and a half. Drake May throws at least one I
(52:38):
n T plus five twenty five over on Draft Kings
where the crown is yours. That'll do it for our
episodes plural over the course of the last couple of weeks.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
