Into route degenerate NFL preseason fashion Washington. Who I thought
gave us a back door push. Back door push sounds
like we're trying to get through to the AMC Theater
Circle pre nineteen into a movie for free. No, we're

(02:24):
talking preseason football, Washington football team on the Monaco money line.
Two knees were down, somebody was paying, somebody rules reversed,
call changes, New England goes on for a sick, meaningless
two point victory plus a garbage touchdown and make it nine. Disgusting,

(02:46):
absolutely infuriating, But it does lead me into my Lock
of the Day today, Welcome back to Sports Gamble with
money Line Monaco. I'm your host, Alex Monico. Today we're
talking NFL. We're talking football, but we're talking with our feet,
my fine feathered friends. The English Premier League kicks off

(03:08):
this weekend, and I got a fun, little degenerate part
way for you in the middle of the show with
a book end of some NFL picks. So let's get
right into it, all right, this is what preseason is
all about. I watched the New England Patriots all day

(03:31):
last night, back and forth from the Field of Dreams.
Had the Yankees don't want to talk about it? I
am on the New England Patriots. Is it a bandwagon?
Because all I want on my Lock of the Day
here is the Patriots over nine wins at minus one forty.

(03:53):
I'm diving head first into the Bill Belichick pond bounce back,
beer pong rebuttal season. Coming off of seven and nine
under five hundred season last year. What did I see?
I saw a very very serviceable Mac Jones. First things,

(04:20):
Fox Sports One. First, Mac Jones came in. Cam Newton
was four for seven for forty nine yards. Didn't see
him too much. Last night, Matt Jones came in with
thirteen and nineteen for eighty seven yards, no mistakes, only
sack at one time. He doesn't have the athleticism that's
out of this world. He doesn't have a rock star arm.

(04:43):
But I agree with Colin. I saw Coward do a
video halfway through the game, and he's on it too.
He sees it too. This is going to be a
Patriot squad that is extremely well coached and discipline lent,
doing all of the little things like baseball manufactured runs.

(05:07):
You know, those teams, particularly in the National League, don't
always have the power, but they get guys on whether
they're walks, hit by pitches, drag bunts. Then you're button
a guy over, then you're stealing a base, then you're
doing a sack fly. All of a sudden, you're getting
runs in and you're pitching and your defense leads to
games one, and that is going to be the new

(05:30):
England Patriot Good Burger Secret Sauce. You'll look at this
completely revamped fun suede offense. There are two guys everywhere,
not super out of this world incredible, but absolutely a
serviceable offense compared to last year, John new Smith, Hunter

(05:52):
Henry two tight ends. You gotta love it. Then you're
looking at the fact that they got Nelson Aguilar and
Kendrick Warren coming in with Jacobe Myers and hopefully hopefully
to kill Harry Blossoms this season. And then on defense,
let's talk about this front seven, Matt Judon, huge pickup
from Baltimore, Kyle van Noy back in the Belichick system,

(06:18):
Dota high Tower, the Homie chase with the long luscious claim,
Matthew's old spice flow. Let's not forget about Devin mccordy
and Stefan Gilmour. This is a defense that last year
was top ten in passing defense and gave up the
seventh least points per game. If Mac Jones ends up

(06:38):
starting and I got a weird, weird feeling he might
get a shot. But even if he doesn't get a shot,
I still trust the system. This has been the longest
conversation of all time. Is it the Brady method or
the Belichick system? This will be the year the system

(07:01):
is tested. Can they run the playbook? Can they set
the plan, work the plan and ball out? And if
Matt Jones is the starter and he doesn't make mistakes.
I believe in a Sony Michelle James White, even our
boys Stevenson out at Oklahoma, fourth round draft pick turn

(07:25):
in the corner going for a hundred and twenty seven
yards on a freaking d run. If this team can
do what the NL squads do in baseball, this offensive
line is above average. I mean, David Andrews top five center,
you got Trent Brown, shack, Mason Isaiah Win. This is

(07:47):
a Tom Brady offensive line that he would have appreciated.
And quite frankly, if you game manage and you play
great past defense, and they will absolutely improve their rundee
from last year with a couple of big pickups. I mean,
you look at their front seven two. You gotta say
to yourself, with the cherry on top being in their schedule,

(08:12):
that they have the luxury and it's absolutely a luxury
of playing the a f C South, who is arguably
the worst division in football if DeShawn Watson doesn't play,
and the NFC South, who may be actually the worst
division in football outside of of course, the defending Super

(08:35):
Bowl Tom Brady champion Bucks. If you can say they'll
dominate the Jets because Bill Belichick does no matter who's
under butt fumble center. If they can eke out a
two two, do I dare say three and one a
f C South outing probably won't happen. Colton Titans are

(08:57):
very good, but if they can go a little two
and two here, little three and one, they're out of division.
Find a way to be at least three and three,
if not four and two in a perfect world, because
divisional games are different. They got a couple of games

(09:19):
that they'll probably lose guaranteed. Outside of that, From a
schematic game plan, defensive first run the ball, down your throw,
win the TP excellent special teams, Mac Jones game manage
standpoint with the idea that you have the best coach

(09:43):
in the NFL thirty six in his illustrious career, thirty
one and twelve in the playoffs, six Super Bowl wins.
He is also, as I end this segment, extra motivated
Mr Bill belly Check after the Tom Brady Super Bowl
because Tom Brady is winning the divorce right now. As

(10:05):
Colin would always say, he's absolutely winning the divorce. But
it always ain't how you start, it's sometimes how you finish.
And if this team gets to the playoffs, if this
team finds a way to be ten and seven, We're
gonna win the spet and I'm gonna have the fire.
Based off what I saw last night, it seemed like

(10:28):
a team that wanted to be there and likes each
other and in a sport like football, that can go
a long way. Bill Belichick leads the Patriots to over
nine wins this year, minus one for back of the day.
Let's keep moving, all right. English Spamin League game we

(10:59):
go this weekend kicks off today Arsenal Brentford. But I
have a degenerate parlay for you, and I don't like it.
I McDonald's love it. Chelsea over Crystal Palace on the
money line, man you, Manchester United over leads on the

(11:20):
money line. Two team parlay right back to our degenerate
special and it pays minus one oh eight one oh
weight down to win a hundred back. And why not
go with the team that won the Champions League to
kick off our degenerate first half of the parlay. Chelsea

(11:43):
fourth place last year at a nineteen and ten and
nine record, with more importantly a plus twenty two gold differential,
and they have brought back one of my favorite players
in FIFA one of the absolute studs of the entire
football soccer community. Romo Lou Lou Kaku, the Belgium wonder

(12:09):
starting this weekend with a little Silver with a little
Georgino with a Mason Mount. I mean this squad. When
Christian gets back Mandy as your keeper, who played remarkable,
remarkable defense under the Thomas Tookle regime, you gotta say
that's starting off the season with a big time w

(12:32):
against Palace. And please know this once they swap managers
the Blues Chelsea twelve clean sheets in twenty Premier League matches.
That is some FIFA formation, unreal strategy. Twelve clean sheets

(12:52):
in twenty Premier League matches. Let me say it to
you again. And what have they done against Crystal Palace?
I mean the last time Palace even one at Stanford Bridge,
which is where the match will be held, Chelsea the
home team, and twenty sixteen. Their last four visits l

(13:17):
L l L and the last two when they visited
Chelsea they didn't score a single goal. This is a
squad that lost ten matches last year on the road
a fourteenth place in the table. Premier League squad twelve
eight and eighteen minus goal differential. I'm not saying Wilfred's

(13:41):
ain't a beast. They got a couple of players, They're
not Chelsea. They're not a structured organization. They're not a
fine oiled machine with proper management and an absolute stud
to lead this squa while with Ronolulukaku a couple of

(14:02):
injuries going into this match, first match. Don't want to
get too high on Chelsea. There was a futures out
there for them to finish top four. They're absolutely finishing
top four. E Za Lee. Chelsea huge favorites and for
a good reason. Champion League Defenders kick off with the

(14:22):
w against Palace and moving over to Manchester United and leads,
adding in Vin from Real, transferring over Sancho from Barussi Adornmant.
You could not ask for a more exciting man you
squad who will be dancing at Old Trafford hosting leads

(14:46):
and yes it is a lovely historical rivalry, but I'm
not too worried about it. Man You second in the
table last year wins eleven and six plus twenty nine
gold differential, go one against lead ninth in the table
eighteen five and fifteen and we saw a Manchester United

(15:10):
squad last year. The Red Devil's do a of fancy sauce,
absolutely sauce. Last December six two leads, I mean Nate
throw rashed them. And when Man You plays at home,
some would say there may be no bigger home field advantage. Yes,

(15:31):
they did have a goalless draw at Ellen Road nil nil.
So that's what's weird about this rivalry. You never really
know how it's gonna shake out. But but preseason about
four nothing over Everton loved it. Bruno Fernandez looks on form.
You're adding in a couple of pieces. Yes, there are

(15:53):
some injuries going into this one, but we're still gonna
see Wampasaka, Linda laf McGuire, Luke Shaw, Fred Pod was
going to be dancing, Fernandez, my Man, Mason, Greenwood, Marcia
will play and of course Dean Anderson might not go.
But you got the he I mean, come on baby.

(16:15):
So for me, I like Man You at home, second
in the table behind City, expecting high things out of
them and leads they're good, but they're not great. Man
You is very good and easily has a chance to
be great this year. I will go off of this team.
Last year taking leads by four goals, confident in a

(16:38):
couple of their players, particularly this match, and protecting home court,
one of the toughest places to play in all the
English Premier League. Land just game one, Just game one
of a brand new slate. Don't want to get two
into the weeds on it, but I love man you

(16:59):
over Lead, and I love Chelsea over Palace and it
pays just about even money on fan Duel two Team

favorite play of the podcast. I'm firing on this puppy
going to Vegas next weekend with the volume sports. I

(21:48):
will be dancing a lovely dance all the way to
the window. Player prop NFL most touchdowns, give me Davante
Adams Paulus eight fifty. I'm feeling like that number is
It's like taking candy on Christmas Eve. My fine degenerate friends,

(22:13):
this man eighteen touchdowns last season eight teen. He led
all wide receivers in that category by three touchdowns. The
man only played fourteen games, one hundred and fifteen receptions,
second in the league, hundred and forty nine targets, fourth

(22:37):
in targets, five in yards, and the second man to
even come close two touchdowns. Tyreek Hill fifteen. Mahome's at
thirty five, part of the eighteen touchdowns to Adams last year.
Aaron Rodgers at forty eight. But if you listen to

(22:58):
the pod, you know I'm on Aaron Rodgers to throw
for the most touchdowns at insane value this year. Again,
back to back. Drake Jordan with it. My friends, let's
just look at the field, because last year the Want
had fourteen based off Kirk's thirty five, Evans at thirteen
mikeyev based off Brady's forty. Brady don't throw for for

(23:18):
he touchdown. Brady doesn't throw four he touchdowns. Go look
it up. Believe it's only three times in his whole career.
Kelsey's plus eight fifty Metcalf's plus nine fifty, as well
as Tyreek Hill, as well as Stefon Diggs. The only
man that I think could maybe steal this crown, this

(23:43):
belt from Davanta Adams, I would say would be Stefon
Diggs because he led the league in yards last year,
but he didn't come even close to getting in the
end zone as many times as Davante Adams. And if
we're talking discount, double check, if we're hawking. Oh, by
the way, a guy who wasn't incredibly happy because Rogers

(24:05):
was in and out out and in, I'm gonna go
the Costanza opposite. I'm gonna say Adams locks in on
a year where Rogers has no choice but to lock in,
and I'm gonna return the favor, Adams goes all out
for Rogers. Rogers goes all out for Adams. The two

(24:29):
best players on the team, the most lethal duo in
the entire NFL outside of maybe Patty Mahomes entyree Hill.
And here's the thing with the Chiefs, if you're worried
about it, Travis Kelsey is that good that Mahomes has
to spread the ball around. It's like having a big
three in the NBA. Lebron scoring is gonna go down
a little bit because a D and Russell Westbrook around

(24:51):
the team. They don't need to get in the end
zone as much as their next guy. Well, how about
in Green Bay? Who who's the two? I mean, I
know who the two is, But it ain't a J Brown,
Julio Jones. It isn't Tyreeke and Kelsey. It isn't O'Dell

(25:12):
and Lanjury. It's just Adam's apple. And he's gonna be
eaten all season long. And we're getting eight and a
half to one, eight and a half till one. Let
me repeat. Second in receptions, first in touchdowns last year

(25:32):
eighteen touchdowns. It's a touchdown more a game on average,
I mean, death taxes and de Vante catches touchdowns. It's
insane value. I love it. I think it's absolutely gonna happen.
If it doesn't, I'll kick myself in my own shins.

(25:54):
But that's it for me. Sports gambler with money line
Monica on a Friday, Give me of Patriots over nine
wins after what I saw last night. Team camaraderie, team chemistry,
a team that likes each other. And we may be
talking about a Mac Jones game manager. Give me a
little English Premier League, cheeky little parlay at minus one.
Oh wait, Chelsea and man you kicking off the table

(26:16):
with dubs and I'll take Davonte Adams to go back
to that with the most touchdowns in the NFL in
a year. Where he wants out, he stays in, he
balls out, and we're gonna cash this. I can feel
it in my gambling gut. Thank you for tuning in.
