is how you start the English Premier League Chelsea Man
United Chuff Win. Welcome to another episode of Sports Gambling
with money Line Monico. I'm your host, Alex Monico. We
are cooking everywhere you look up. Over five units on
the week and two wins for everyone, all picks documented
(02:48):
on Action Network follow my picks along in addition to
the podcast, we fire every single day. There is no
Belichick days off in my degenerate land and shout out
to you. A couple of people hit me up, said
thank you. That's what it's all about. It's you and
I versus the books, my fine feathered friends and Chelsea
(03:12):
with a three nothing so lacking over Palace Man, you
with a statement five, one win, Pagma spreading the ball
like a freaking Johnny Stockton mench and we cash our
degenerate parlay of the day. But let's not get too
excited because we are going right back to settling into
some more future spets. Tons of NFL over the weekend.
(03:35):
We saw with our own eyes. I saw with my
stigmatism glasses a lot and I have settled and this
episode is going to be like a puzzle piece, so
I want you to bear with me. We're gonna start
in the Ravens nest. We're then gonna dance, and we've
our way because I have a Rookie of the Year pick.
(03:56):
After one game after one preseason week. But I also
have for you which Van Duel does Coach of the Year,
and my odds said, I'm getting for a man that
I think is absolutely a top five coach, if not
(04:17):
top seven in the league. I simply can't believe it.
All right, let's get into it, and let's dive in
with our lock of the day. Give me the Baltimore
(04:38):
Ravens over eleven wins at plus one hundred all day long.
What's go? You've heard me talk about the a f
C North a little bit. I'm on the Steelers over
eight and a half wins. I could see three of
these teams in this division making the playoffs. I, though,
(05:00):
unlike most, are not sold on the Cleveland Browns winning
this division. I am, however, sold on the Baltimore Ravens, who, oh,
by the way, have said an NFL record. They have
won eight teen straight preseason games. They beat the Saints,
(05:22):
who had all kinds of a quarterback controversy going where
everyone who's quality under center for New Orleans had to dance.
It still didn't matter. The Ravens win. What's eight? All right?
This is very simple. This team, this offense, John Harbaugh
(05:44):
and what they have defensively going into this year. They
are the team to beat in the n f C North. Now,
they didn't win the division last year Pittsburgh did, but
they absolutely still got themselves to the playoffs with the
number one rushing attack in the NFL. And we start there.
This team, just like Andy Reid, Eric b Enemy and
(06:08):
the Kansas City Chiefs, have it crafted. They have devised
an offense around Patrick Mahomes and his strengths and right
there with him of the Baltimore Ravens one hundred and
nine point nine rush yards per game last year. They
unequivocally have the best run game in the NFL. And
(06:32):
it starts and ends with Kodak Black's right hand man,
your boy, Lamar Jackson, who is absolutely in a contract
year after the money. Josh Allen just got same draft class,
just like Baker. But here's what I want to tell you.
This team, who you may say to yourself, still lacks
(06:56):
weapons offensively, win out and fix that at the wide
receiver position. They bring in Sammy Watkins. They draft Rashad
Bateman out of Minnesota. They already have Hollywood Brown, Mark Andrews,
and Miles Boykin out of and d on the roster
still going into this year. But if you look at
it like this, it's the number one rushing attack in
(07:19):
the NFL with Lamar, with j K. Dobbins, and I
ain't j Kin, We ain't kitting about this team. They
know who they are offensively and in the NFL to
know who you are. And this is almost early two
thousands and really just old school and FL you think
(07:39):
about it like this, the Ravens are showing you who
they are. They are a ground and pound when the
TLP play defense to play offense, to grind it out
type of a team, and you still can't stop it.
You can't. It's one of those offenses. We're going to
(08:03):
run it down your goal it you cannot stop us.
And you absolutely can do the best you can to
try to contain number seven and Lamar Jackson, who has
now had back to back thousand yard rushing seasons. He
has shattered every rushing record known to may and twelve
(08:27):
hundred and six rushing yards in breaks Michael Vick's record
from two thousand six, almost broke it last year on
and off year, say this all out of yourself. Jackson
that season had more rushing yards in the entire Miami
Dolphins team and only fifty one fewer yards than the
New York Jets team is a quarterback. So I'm very
(08:51):
high on what Lamar Jackson's upside is this year. And
then let's take a look at the defense. It's death
Taxes and Ravens top three, top five defense, Johnny Harbaugh
defensive mind. They come into the season top two and
points given up with eighteen point nine, top two defensively speaking,
(09:14):
top seven in Yardsborough game, and they absolutely had a
positive turnover differential. But you look at the front seven
with my boy Calais, shout out his brother Jared, good
friend of mine. McPhee, the l s Hu assassin, Patrick
Queen Bowser played above his potential last year. You have
justin Houston, ladies and gentlemen, and think about the defensive
(09:41):
backs between Marcus Peters, Marlon Humphrey and Jimmy Smith. This
could be the most lethal closest to what we saw
with Camp Chancellor with Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas. I know
they're corners and nine safeties, but what I'm telling you
is I'm old enough to know what this Ravens recipe is,
(10:06):
and I remember it to a tee what this squad's
formula has been. With an Ed Reid congrats to the
Hall of Famer, with a Ray Lewis up front, and
I'm looking at this defense and I'm seeing no holes.
And last year they gave up less than twenty points
(10:26):
per game. So if you're giving me a top two
defense with a couple of big additions this year, and
the fact that justin Houston is playing four, the Ravens
should scare everybody. They should scare everybody. So for me,
(10:51):
I'm buying eleven because I think they can get twelve.
And of course I looked at the schedule. They start
out with three of their first four, believe it or not,
against the a f C. West Vegas Chiefs. Then they
go to Detroit, then they play Denver. If they can
get out of that three and one somehow find a
(11:11):
way to take down Indie on Monday Night, Week five,
they will then get a nice little reprieve. Now the
Chargers are a reprieve, but they always play the Charger
as well. I'm from San Diego. I know the Ravens
owned the Chargers. Then they get the Bengals twice, they
get a couple of cupcakes. Look, they played the Bears,
(11:32):
they get to play Minnesota. I'm kind of pegging I'm
right at eleven and six, but I also think that
they can go twelve and five. And it's one of
those years. Contract Lamar Jackson year, number one rush, offense,
top two defense. What else do you need? Because Lamar
(11:53):
Jackson with a couple of new weapons, couple of new toys.
Sammy Watkins Bateman, I'm buying I got the top two
defense and the number one offense. Let me through it
in your gambling noggin as my lock of the day
over eleven wins plus one hundred and a top five
coach do I dare say? And Johnny Harper, who has
(12:15):
won the whole thing? What else do you want? You
don't need anything else, baby, Lock of the day. Let's
keep it move all right straight, degenerate pick. I am
(12:38):
absolutely fired up about this, My degenerate play of the day,
Degenerate Parlay of the Day, Friday cast of course, Chelsea Man,
you I can't believe Van Duels offering this. I love it.
Coach of the Year. Here we go. I am taking Shanahan,
(13:01):
Lil Wayne's right hand man at plus fourteen hundred to
become the Coach of the Year. Kyle Shanahan plus fourteen
hundred on fan duel. Give it to me, my f friends.
Here's the competition. Here's the favorite. Believe it or not,
(13:22):
Staley branded Staley the first time coach for the Chargers.
Brian Flores is tied with Shanahan, and then on down
the list. And I looked at the previous last few.
Stefanski won it last year. Then it was Johnny Harbaugh,
which was ironically enough Lamar's MVP season. Then it was
(13:45):
Matt Naggy coming in going twelve and four. Believe it
or not, the Bears were twelve and four and eighteen,
then McVeigh, then Jason Garrett, then Ronnie Rivera, and on
down the list. Here's my argument for Shanahan Gay he's
thirty one and thirty six all time to and one
the postseason. Of course he's been to a Super Bowl.
(14:07):
He is getting in tray lance the future of this organization.
There's two factors of thought here for me to fire on.
This future is number one is and it's not going
to really make sense based off who I'm going with.
Rookie of the Year but this is my inkling. He
either develops tray Lance into the top fifteen of the league,
(14:28):
they win the division, or they get to the playoffs.
That's one train of thought. Here's the other train of
thought that no one's talking about. Okay, shinning ends and
six with Lawyer, to and ten with Bethard, five and
eleven with Nick Mullins, and he's twenty four and nine
with Jimmy Garoppolo. They draft and what I think is
(14:52):
a certified stud in Sermon, Ohio State certified Tray Sermon
could be the running back steel of the year. You
have Deebo Samuel finally healthy with a yuk who should
have never dropped to this team, but he did. Top
(15:13):
two tight end and Kittle healthy, paid, fired up the defense,
top five in yards last year, top four and passing
top seven and rushing. Say it to yourself out out
twenty four and nine. Jimmy g is twenty four and
nine with the way too good looking dude to quarterback
that has absolutely been her after her after her with
(15:37):
these injuries, decimated with injuries. But you look at the
track record, what's the rush? If you're bringing out Trey Lands,
what's the rush? Give Jimmy Garoppolo under contract, healthy, finally
three for three in his debut this season. My thinking
(15:59):
is this, Trey Lance doesn't start the season under center,
Jimmy Garoppolo does, and if Jimmy Garoppolo starts to win
and starts to ball, and the Niners either win the
division or they get to the playoffs in convincing fashion,
in lust, the Chargers go out of their mind somehow
(16:21):
win twelve thirteen games because a lot of these previous
coaches outside of Stefanski last year won their division. Staley's
already inheriting Herbert. What Stefanski did by taking a brown
squaw that was under five hundred for my whole freaking
adult life and then turn them into over to me says,
that's a one off. So if you look at it,
(16:45):
you got Flores who probably won't win the division either
Staley who won't win the division. As your other two
favorites here, why not Kyle Shanahan. This is it bounce
back San Francisco year. Nick Bosa is healthy, this front
seven is menacing this run game. How's the ability to
(17:05):
be top five? You know the Shanahan way. So everyone's
on Tray Lance, but This isn't the Bears, this isn't
Andy Dalton. Jimmy G got this team new a super Bowl.
Why don't you give Jimmy G the rock and it's
his job to lose? Why can't it be I'm gonna
bank on one or two trains, I thought. But my
(17:28):
main chips in on Shanahan and win Coach of the
Year is that he starts with Jimmy G. He saves
tray Lance until they may or may not be out
to a hot start. They win well over what they're
set at, which is ten and a half, wins vandul
Haus amounts second favorite in the division, and Shanahan shocks everyone,
(17:51):
gets his record over five, gets into the postseason, makes
a little run, and we cash this plus four. It's
all so a little skewed in the sense that San
Francisco had an off year. So even if he doesn't
win the most games in the NFL, he goes a
little bit of what the Browns did before Stefanski with Kitchens,
(18:12):
I'm liking the value. I think he's a top five coach.
I think he's got the culture down there. I think
John Lynch and him are probably easily top five GM
head coach Combo in the league. I'm firing my friends.
I am firing on Kyle Shanahan plus four Let's go.

Rookie of the Year ham Na na NA fourteen A
(20:31):
twenty four a hundred and forty two yards and at
Teddy Bruce Ky with no interceptions against a very very
well coached, coached up top defense in Miami over the weekend.
The man at a hundred and six point seven QBR rating.
He had five rushes for thirty three yards and a
another Teddy Brusky on the ground, including a twenty one
(20:52):
yard run. Look, Lawrence is plus three hundred, but it's
a complete refurbishing, a complete fung swede makeover on v
H one over there in Jacksonville. Or do I dare say, bravo,
you got lant to. I just made a case. Might
not even start. He might not even start. Justin Field
showed you there is no time to waste with the
(21:16):
red rifle or, as Collins says, the beige water pistol,
there is no time to waste. Jimmy g got his
team to a super Bowl. Any Dalton is the epitome
of the upside of ten wins. Max, I just mentioned
to you this team under Matt Naggie won twelve games.
Matt Naggie is capable of stealing and pulling a rabbit
(21:36):
out of the hat something. Now the NFC North in
an off here for green Bay. Now, I've still got
green Bay to win the division. But this is my rationale.
Quarterbacks win Rookie of the Year almost always. Justin Field
is a playmaker. Guys getting shouted out by the King
on a Saturday, Dwayne Wade on a Saturday. He looks comfortable.
(21:58):
He looks like a natural born lee. He looks like
He's winning the job, and he may not have to
wait a month. This is where Trevor Lawrence has a disadvantage.
This is in Saxonville. This isn't a good defense in Jacksonville.
It's a whole new roster. A matter of fact, Minshew
has a shot at stealing the spot. I am so
(22:18):
so dialed in and focused on the fact that Fields
is going to be the guy to lose this Rookie
of the Year and we're getting five to one, twenty
dollars down to win a hundee. I mean, sign up
with my promo code Monico and tell him I sent
you Rookie of the Year Justin Fields. The man is
every component physically, He's got the mental capacity. He has
(22:42):
the ability to take over a game. You saw it
on Saturday. He did take over the game, almost fired
on Bears plus six and a half and a half time,
which they were they banks the Dolphins as soon as
this man came in and Andy Dalton knows it. I'm sorry.
It's just like toy story and he's gotta get rid
(23:02):
of his toys. Sorry Woody, Sorry Dalton. You gotta let
him go to college. It's over. Let Andy be a
serviceable backup, a value piece, and a player. Coach to Field,
wrap your arms around him, like cowards said, don't blow it,
do not blow it. All you have to do is
(23:23):
let this man start. You will take care of the rest.
Jimmy Graham looks like he's getting a re firing, a
resurgence at the tight end position. If you get to
ricohen back and you get Montgomery dancing a little one
to punch, that is a very good running game. And
Allan Robinson is a top ten wide receiver in my
(23:44):
humble opinion. Right there at the end, I truly believe
that he hasn't even had anyone to throw to him.
So I love the upside here. I don't need to
sell you anymore. Fields is starting and he's got the
best ross of all three of these guys except four,
of course, the Niners With Lance, I got some weird
(24:05):
feeling like Jimmy g Ain't going anywhere. If he does,
I'll look like a buffoon. But hey, I'll still take
Shanahan because I believe in him as a coach. But
this ain't that segment. This segment is about j F. Mr. Fields.
He's already played at a big time school. He's gone
against Alabama on the national stage, he's bawled out against Clemson.
(24:26):
I'm telling you this squad is lucky to have him
and we're lucky to watch him. Justin Fields plus five
hundred Rookie of the Year. Let's eight and that about

(03:56):

have for you which Van Duel does Coach of the Year,
and my odds said, I'm getting for a man that
I think is absolutely a top five coach, if not
(04:17):
top seven in the league. I simply can't believe it.
All right, let's get into it, and let's dive in
with our lock of the day. Give me the Baltimore
(04:38):
Ravens over eleven wins at plus one hundred all day long.
What's go? You've heard me talk about the a f
C North a little bit. I'm on the Steelers over
eight and a half wins. I could see three of
these teams in this division making the playoffs. I, though,
(05:00):
unlike most, are not sold on the Cleveland Browns winning
this division. I am, however, sold on the Baltimore Ravens, who, oh,
by the way, have said an NFL record. They have
won eight teen straight preseason games. They beat the Saints,
(05:22):
who had all kinds of a quarterback controversy going where
everyone who's quality under center for New Orleans had to dance.
It still didn't matter. The Ravens win. What's eight? All right?
This is very simple. This team, this offense, John Harbaugh
(05:44):
and what they have defensively going into this year. They
are the team to beat in the n f C North. Now,
they didn't win the division last year Pittsburgh did, but
they absolutely still got themselves to the playoffs with the
number one rushing attack in the NFL. And we start there.
This team, just like Andy Reid, Eric b Enemy and
(06:08):
the Kansas City Chiefs, have it crafted. They have devised
an offense around Patrick Mahomes and his strengths and right
there with him of the Baltimore Ravens one hundred and
nine point nine rush yards per game last year. They
unequivocally have the best run game in the NFL. And
(06:32):
it starts and ends with Kodak Black's right hand man,
your boy, Lamar Jackson, who is absolutely in a contract
year after the money. Josh Allen just got same draft class,
just like Baker. But here's what I want to tell you.
This team, who you may say to yourself, still lacks
(06:56):
weapons offensively, win out and fix that at the wide
receiver position. They bring in Sammy Watkins. They draft Rashad
Bateman out of Minnesota. They already have Hollywood Brown, Mark Andrews,
and Miles Boykin out of and d on the roster
still going into this year. But if you look at
it like this, it's the number one rushing attack in
(07:19):
the NFL with Lamar, with j K. Dobbins, and I
ain't j Kin, We ain't kitting about this team. They
know who they are offensively and in the NFL to
know who you are. And this is almost early two
thousands and really just old school and FL you think
(07:39):
about it like this, the Ravens are showing you who
they are. They are a ground and pound when the
TLP play defense to play offense, to grind it out
type of a team, and you still can't stop it.
You can't. It's one of those offenses. We're going to
(08:03):
run it down your goal it you cannot stop us.
And you absolutely can do the best you can to
try to contain number seven and Lamar Jackson, who has
now had back to back thousand yard rushing seasons. He
has shattered every rushing record known to may and twelve
(08:27):
hundred and six rushing yards in breaks Michael Vick's record
from two thousand six, almost broke it last year on
and off year, say this all out of yourself. Jackson
that season had more rushing yards in the entire Miami
Dolphins team and only fifty one fewer yards than the
New York Jets team is a quarterback. So I'm very
(08:51):
high on what Lamar Jackson's upside is this year. And
then let's take a look at the defense. It's death
Taxes and Ravens top three, top five defense, Johnny Harbaugh
defensive mind. They come into the season top two and
points given up with eighteen point nine, top two defensively speaking,
(09:14):
top seven in Yardsborough game, and they absolutely had a
positive turnover differential. But you look at the front seven
with my boy Calais, shout out his brother Jared, good
friend of mine. McPhee, the l s Hu assassin, Patrick
Queen Bowser played above his potential last year. You have
justin Houston, ladies and gentlemen, and think about the defensive
(09:41):
backs between Marcus Peters, Marlon Humphrey and Jimmy Smith. This
could be the most lethal closest to what we saw
with Camp Chancellor with Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas. I know
they're corners and nine safeties, but what I'm telling you
is I'm old enough to know what this Ravens recipe is,
(10:06):
and I remember it to a tee what this squad's
formula has been. With an Ed Reid congrats to the
Hall of Famer, with a Ray Lewis up front, and
I'm looking at this defense and I'm seeing no holes.
And last year they gave up less than twenty points
(10:26):
per game. So if you're giving me a top two
defense with a couple of big additions this year, and
the fact that justin Houston is playing four, the Ravens
should scare everybody. They should scare everybody. So for me,
(10:51):
I'm buying eleven because I think they can get twelve.
And of course I looked at the schedule. They start
out with three of their first four, believe it or not,
against the a f C. West Vegas Chiefs. Then they
go to Detroit, then they play Denver. If they can
get out of that three and one somehow find a
(11:11):
way to take down Indie on Monday Night, Week five,
they will then get a nice little reprieve. Now the
Chargers are a reprieve, but they always play the Charger
as well. I'm from San Diego. I know the Ravens
owned the Chargers. Then they get the Bengals twice, they
get a couple of cupcakes. Look, they played the Bears,
(11:32):
they get to play Minnesota. I'm kind of pegging I'm
right at eleven and six, but I also think that
they can go twelve and five. And it's one of
those years. Contract Lamar Jackson year, number one rush, offense,
top two defense. What else do you need? Because Lamar
(11:53):
Jackson with a couple of new weapons, couple of new toys.
Sammy Watkins Bateman, I'm buying I got the top two
defense and the number one offense. Let me through it
in your gambling noggin as my lock of the day
over eleven wins plus one hundred and a top five
coach do I dare say? And Johnny Harper, who has
(12:15):
won the whole thing? What else do you want? You
don't need anything else, baby, Lock of the day. Let's
keep it move all right straight, degenerate pick. I am
(12:38):
absolutely fired up about this, My degenerate play of the day,
Degenerate Parlay of the Day, Friday cast of course, Chelsea Man,
you I can't believe Van Duels offering this. I love it.
Coach of the Year. Here we go. I am taking Shanahan,
(13:01):
Lil Wayne's right hand man at plus fourteen hundred to
become the Coach of the Year. Kyle Shanahan plus fourteen
hundred on fan duel. Give it to me, my f friends.
Here's the competition. Here's the favorite. Believe it or not,
(13:22):
Staley branded Staley the first time coach for the Chargers.
Brian Flores is tied with Shanahan, and then on down
the list. And I looked at the previous last few.
Stefanski won it last year. Then it was Johnny Harbaugh,
which was ironically enough Lamar's MVP season. Then it was
(13:45):
Matt Naggy coming in going twelve and four. Believe it
or not, the Bears were twelve and four and eighteen,
then McVeigh, then Jason Garrett, then Ronnie Rivera, and on
down the list. Here's my argument for Shanahan Gay he's
thirty one and thirty six all time to and one
the postseason. Of course he's been to a Super Bowl.
(14:07):
He is getting in tray lance the future of this organization.
There's two factors of thought here for me to fire on.
This future is number one is and it's not going
to really make sense based off who I'm going with.
Rookie of the Year but this is my inkling. He
either develops tray Lance into the top fifteen of the league,
(14:28):
they win the division, or they get to the playoffs.
That's one train of thought. Here's the other train of
thought that no one's talking about. Okay, shinning ends and
six with Lawyer, to and ten with Bethard, five and
eleven with Nick Mullins, and he's twenty four and nine
with Jimmy Garoppolo. They draft and what I think is
(14:52):
a certified stud in Sermon, Ohio State certified Tray Sermon
could be the running back steel of the year. You
have Deebo Samuel finally healthy with a yuk who should
have never dropped to this team, but he did. Top
(15:13):
two tight end and Kittle healthy, paid, fired up the defense,
top five in yards last year, top four and passing
top seven and rushing. Say it to yourself out out
twenty four and nine. Jimmy g is twenty four and
nine with the way too good looking dude to quarterback
that has absolutely been her after her after her with
(15:37):
these injuries, decimated with injuries. But you look at the
track record, what's the rush? If you're bringing out Trey Lands,
what's the rush? Give Jimmy Garoppolo under contract, healthy, finally
three for three in his debut this season. My thinking
(15:59):
is this, Trey Lance doesn't start the season under center,
Jimmy Garoppolo does, and if Jimmy Garoppolo starts to win
and starts to ball, and the Niners either win the
division or they get to the playoffs in convincing fashion,
in lust, the Chargers go out of their mind somehow
(16:21):
win twelve thirteen games because a lot of these previous
coaches outside of Stefanski last year won their division. Staley's
already inheriting Herbert. What Stefanski did by taking a brown
squaw that was under five hundred for my whole freaking
adult life and then turn them into over to me says,
that's a one off. So if you look at it,
(16:45):
you got Flores who probably won't win the division either
Staley who won't win the division. As your other two
favorites here, why not Kyle Shanahan. This is it bounce
back San Francisco year. Nick Bosa is healthy, this front
seven is menacing this run game. How's the ability to
(17:05):
be top five? You know the Shanahan way. So everyone's
on Tray Lance, but This isn't the Bears, this isn't
Andy Dalton. Jimmy G got this team new a super Bowl.
Why don't you give Jimmy G the rock and it's
his job to lose? Why can't it be I'm gonna
bank on one or two trains, I thought. But my
(17:28):
main chips in on Shanahan and win Coach of the
Year is that he starts with Jimmy G. He saves
tray Lance until they may or may not be out
to a hot start. They win well over what they're
set at, which is ten and a half, wins vandul
Haus amounts second favorite in the division, and Shanahan shocks everyone,
(17:51):
gets his record over five, gets into the postseason, makes
a little run, and we cash this plus four. It's
all so a little skewed in the sense that San
Francisco had an off year. So even if he doesn't
win the most games in the NFL, he goes a
little bit of what the Browns did before Stefanski with Kitchens,
(18:12):
I'm liking the value. I think he's a top five coach.
I think he's got the culture down there. I think
John Lynch and him are probably easily top five GM
head coach Combo in the league. I'm firing my friends.
I am firing on Kyle Shanahan plus four Let's go.

Rookie of the Year ham Na na NA fourteen A
(20:31):
twenty four a hundred and forty two yards and at
Teddy Bruce Ky with no interceptions against a very very
well coached, coached up top defense in Miami over the weekend.
The man at a hundred and six point seven QBR rating.
He had five rushes for thirty three yards and a
another Teddy Brusky on the ground, including a twenty one
(20:52):
yard run. Look, Lawrence is plus three hundred, but it's
a complete refurbishing, a complete fung swede makeover on v
H one over there in Jacksonville. Or do I dare say, bravo,
you got lant to. I just made a case. Might
not even start. He might not even start. Justin Field
showed you there is no time to waste with the
(21:16):
red rifle or, as Collins says, the beige water pistol,
there is no time to waste. Jimmy g got his
team to a super Bowl. Any Dalton is the epitome
of the upside of ten wins. Max, I just mentioned
to you this team under Matt Naggie won twelve games.
Matt Naggie is capable of stealing and pulling a rabbit
(21:36):
out of the hat something. Now the NFC North in
an off here for green Bay. Now, I've still got
green Bay to win the division. But this is my rationale.
Quarterbacks win Rookie of the Year almost always. Justin Field
is a playmaker. Guys getting shouted out by the King
on a Saturday, Dwayne Wade on a Saturday. He looks comfortable.
(21:58):
He looks like a natural born lee. He looks like
He's winning the job, and he may not have to
wait a month. This is where Trevor Lawrence has a disadvantage.
This is in Saxonville. This isn't a good defense in Jacksonville.
It's a whole new roster. A matter of fact, Minshew
has a shot at stealing the spot. I am so
(22:18):
so dialed in and focused on the fact that Fields
is going to be the guy to lose this Rookie
of the Year and we're getting five to one, twenty
dollars down to win a hundee. I mean, sign up
with my promo code Monico and tell him I sent
you Rookie of the Year Justin Fields. The man is
every component physically, He's got the mental capacity. He has
(22:42):
the ability to take over a game. You saw it
on Saturday. He did take over the game, almost fired
on Bears plus six and a half and a half time,
which they were they banks the Dolphins as soon as
this man came in and Andy Dalton knows it. I'm sorry.
It's just like toy story and he's gotta get rid
(23:02):
of his toys. Sorry Woody, Sorry Dalton. You gotta let
him go to college. It's over. Let Andy be a
serviceable backup, a value piece, and a player. Coach to Field,
wrap your arms around him, like cowards said, don't blow it,
do not blow it. All you have to do is
(23:23):
let this man start. You will take care of the rest.
Jimmy Graham looks like he's getting a re firing, a
resurgence at the tight end position. If you get to
ricohen back and you get Montgomery dancing a little one
to punch, that is a very good running game. And
Allan Robinson is a top ten wide receiver in my
(23:44):
humble opinion. Right there at the end, I truly believe
that he hasn't even had anyone to throw to him.
So I love the upside here. I don't need to
sell you anymore. Fields is starting and he's got the
best ross of all three of these guys except four,
of course, the Niners With Lance, I got some weird
(24:05):
feeling like Jimmy g Ain't going anywhere. If he does,
I'll look like a buffoon. But hey, I'll still take
Shanahan because I believe in him as a coach. But
this ain't that segment. This segment is about j F. Mr. Fields.
He's already played at a big time school. He's gone
against Alabama on the national stage, he's bawled out against Clemson.
(24:26):
I'm telling you this squad is lucky to have him
and we're lucky to watch him. Justin Fields plus five
hundred Rookie of the Year. Let's eight and that about
