Speaker 2 (02:49):
We can just call it that forward. I get you.
We'll do all that and much more.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Rob G family members have just lost it when it
comes to their family being, you know, stars in the
league now and them having these social media platforms. I
think it has more to do And I'm gonna say this,
not just the idea that you have a platform to
(03:16):
say something, but I do believe like where the money
is in athletics and sports, people feel like.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That the kid can't get hurt, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Like in the old days, you could get cut or
you know what I mean, or a team move off
of you or something.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Whereas now that makes so much money. I think they're
empowered by that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
My son signed up six year, one hundred and fifty
million dollar contract. I can say whatever I want, right,
I really believe that the money has something to do
with it. Barabg. We had another example of that with
the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
That's right, Roma Donzay's dad Roma Rome fit again. Rome Roma,
Roma Dunza. Okay, go ahead, because sometimes that boy good too.
He's really freaking good. He's the Bear's number one receiving option.
But he had an off game last week. In their
shootout win over Cincinnati, first time in his NFL career,
(04:12):
he was held without a catch. He was only targeted
three times, and so after the game, his father, James
went crazy on social media. He was reposting posts saying
that they should trade Rome to a team that will
actually throw to him. Another post declared that Rome should
be seeing at least ten targets per game. So it
was a big firestorm in Chicago, and today his son
(04:35):
had to answer for his dad's sweets.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
I don't make a big deal out of it.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
You know, obviously he has his opinions. I have mine,
and he's like he needs to voice those things on
social media.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
But you know that's that's his prerogatives.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
But he speaks for himself. I for myself.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Uh come and where are you on this man?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Let me go here. One of the things that we
all had this Rob g Rob Parker, Alex. Everybody had
that cousin, that sibling or that best friend that when
you hang out the ballpark, you're playing some pick up hoops,
or you go to the club. They always do the
ones writing the checks that they couldn't cash. And now
you got to be in the middle of it, like, ah, shoot,
you needn say something to him. You talking smack to her.
(05:15):
You're doing this in and to me, that's what a
lot of times. What's happening now with the advent of
social media with some of these parents, some of these friends,
some of these girlfriends, wives, husbands or whatever, is that
they start to write the checks that they can't cash.
And what I mean by that is dad can go
crazy with the Twitter fingers right, say this, say that,
and I get it. It's coming from a loving place.
(05:36):
You want the best for your son, You love your son,
You probably train your son. All that problem is when
you start saying any and everything. Now I gotta defend it.
It's coming to my social media. I'm getting at it.
I gotta go in the locker room. Does Cayleb Williams
look at me differently, like have you been whispering something
of your dad? Are you pillow talking with your girl
with your dad? You know, you're saying stuff. And then
you got to go say no, no, no, that's his opinion,
(05:57):
that's not mine. And when it keeps having repe it
ends up falling on the player. You're doing more damage
to the player when you openly criticize, regularly, routinely. Look,
I get it. We can all have a frustrated moment.
We now have the ability to get our thoughts out
there that you have just yell at a TV or
yell at your dog, yell at your simbly, your spouse
with somebody. Now you can get on the phone and
(06:19):
go on Instagram. You can go at the trolls, you
can go back at them. And I think sometimes we
forget that ends up being detrimental to your whoever the
person is in your life, in this case, his son,
Because now I gotta feel questions, Rob, Now I gotta
look at you know, wonder if my teammates looking at
me differently. Now I gotta go back and forth all day,
And to me, it's just there's no gain from it,
there's no win from it. It's gonna hurt you, it's
(06:41):
gonna make you look bad, and it's a potentially hurt
your son or your daughter of whoever the athlete is.
And there's no upside. So I just I know it's
difficult because we have the technology to respond to people.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, as hard
as it may be, because now it all comes on
him and week in week out, he's gonna have to
corrupt questions. And now we see it with some other
team Morint John Moran's dad getting into it with shot
(07:04):
Shana Sharp. They about to scrap they doing this. It's
just too much can happen. And there's no real game
when you're doing this to me.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I just I think it's terrible and I cannot I
don't have kids. I couldn't imagine embarrassing my son or daughter,
you know, by by going out and speaking out, especially
when you consider the numbers that he's already put up
this year. He leads, right, Rob g we talked about earlier.
(07:35):
He leads it almost yeah, in almost every category. It
was a bad game or whatever, and it's coming off.
It ain't coming off. The Bears got shut out eight
to nothing and he didn't get any balls or whatever.
They actually won the game and put up forty seven points.
And that's the game, right that you're going to speak
out as a win that put them at five and
(07:58):
three and a big time comeback win. And then he
has to answer and I don't care. He could say
that's my dad, I have nothing to do it or whatever. Dude,
you know that people are like he texting his dad,
whinding like whining, winding like a girl, I'm not getting
the ball whatever, and.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
His dad is just echoing no sentiments.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Right, that's not his dad.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
That's him talking to his dad, and his dad is
the one putting it out there. That's what it sounds like.
It's just like when Halliburton's dad ran out on the
court and did all that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Now? I gotta answer questions about it and.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Have to.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
And you know what, I'm glad you brought that up, Rob,
because you know what it forces to what nobody wants
to do. Halliburton had to go against his dad publicly him.
But now I gotta separate myself from you because you
did something that was not smart. Now if you're if
you're the dudes, say, now I gotta ask my pops.
He doing what he do? I do what I do that.
I don't want to do that, but when you do
(08:59):
these things, I have to. I have to and watch this, Rob,
he's a he's a he's a young quarter. He's me
phrase that young receiver. First year Caleb Williams, first year
really under Ben Johnson new system. What are you gonna do?
This isn't year eight where you could be like, look,
I'm tired of it been seven eight years and it's badness.
(09:19):
This is a handful of games into the first year.
The first year are altogether. Who's got the most receptions? Yeah?
Like give I could completely understand if this has been
three to four years of ineptitude, if he was playing
with the Panthers, playing with the Raiders, it looks horrible.
I get that. At that point, you're blowing a gasket.
I've had enough. This is they're they're They're five and three.
(09:40):
He's leading team in receptions. He looks good. Anybody who
has eyeball see that. He looks really good.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It's a connection, though doesn't feel like he has a
connection with Caleb.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And I know he wants more, without a doubt.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
He's he's a guy who want that.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
But if this is what we're doing week eight nine, Rob,
what are we gonna do? Week I said, year two
or three? If it's not going the way he wants.
You get what I mean? It's week eight. You guys
are five and three right there in the division.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I mean, I'm asking you, Rob g, I'm asking you Kelvin.
As fathers, you don't try to Are you really trying
to go out and embarrass your kids? Seriously? I just
feel like I wouldn't want to do that, and I
always I know that my parents were always conscious of that,
Like you know what I mean, like not wanting to
embarrass the kids.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I think the thing for me, Rob if he were
being defit, Let's say he had a horrible injury, and
then everybody's all, he weak, he don't want to go back.
I get that, right, This is just off of a
game you want. This is just getting more targets. In
your mind, that's not worth putting him out there. If
you just lost it because you were defending your son
who got his knee shredded and you you know what
I mean, and there are we week get back out there.
(10:51):
I can understand that because you're coming to his honor.
That's different than berating the team and the targets and
Caleb and real offense. That's that's not necessary standing up
for your son, who maybe again, let's say he stood
up for something like Colin Kaepernick type of thing, and
you were like, no, he's trying to do it for
the betterment of standing up for that. I get the
idea that you're berating a team that's five and three.
(11:13):
He's the leading receiver. They're trying to find their way.
It's the first year with the new coach, in the
new system, first year together. Okay, Loob, week eight or nine,
what are we doing here? Pops?
Speaker 8 (11:23):
In the social media era, especially, you should only be
a cheerleader. You better not say a damn thing that's
critical of your quarterback, of a teammate, of the coaching
in any way shape of critical of the city that
you're playing in.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It just doesn't make because all it w Yeah, there's
no win there.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Like Afghan Al Horford's sister, how was it to for
to talk crap about the city of Boston? And everything
she said was accurate by the way, but all it
led to you was, Hey, Al, your sister was on
social media yesterday saying there's a lot of racism in
the city of Boston. Cared weigh in on it. Right,
if he comes out and says what he honestly feels.
He's a leaning out the fan base, right, And it's
(12:01):
just like, there's no win in you going out of
your way to be critical of things you have no
control over.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And especially in this situation where you're coming off of
a big victory, right, a last second victory where you
weren't supposed to win that game, and the talk should
be about that. Being five and three in the division,
you're in the hunt. My god, they're alive. Like really,
(12:30):
it's like that, right, It's like the Marvin Harrison right,
with the same kind of thing, like, well, I ain't
saying this, but yes you are.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You went to ESPN dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, and you had these quotes about the offense and this,
and that he didn't mention that his son dropped up
to some of the easiest touchdowns ever and on some
of the other bad plays.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Also, Pops, you play with Peyton Manning. I mean, come on, Pops,
I know you want the best, but Pops, you play
with Peyton Red, You, Wayne Stokely, Edrin James, y'all had
a lot going on over there.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It was going back to Rome.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Is there a way that his dad could have conveyed
that message, yes without making.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It what you said. Problem, this is what you say.
I look at this team and I know how talented
Ben Johnson is as a play caller. We know Caleb
is a Heisman winner and my son is a beast.
I definitely expect more, you know more, whether if he
wanted to say, a better offense, you know, more continuity,
you know.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Like you can that's a really loting tweet, the tweet for.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No he pays for the one he paid for, the
one where you give it, you know, like.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Could he have just said something like, man, just wait
till they get Rome fully integrated as well?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Moving forward?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
There dynastic way to the continent. This is only year
one way two years.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Maybe what a win when you think about it that
they scored forty seven points and Rome wasn't even involved,
Like like that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Told you what? That's even scary, right that could be
you know what I'm saying, like something like that.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
That was a great one, Rob, that's a great one.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No trade him somewhere else. Targets a game.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And I'm like, Pops, this is eight game nine, dude.
We got a whole new system. I'm a rookie. We
got a nine love. We haven't had a winning record.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
It's late to the season in twenty five years, unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm just yeah, I think what's the last point for me?
One of the things that's blown me away about social media?
I think y'all will feel me on this was our
concern about young people. Ultimately, what I've been blown away
the last decade is forty fifty and sixty year olds
on social media who make a full of themselves regularly.
(14:37):
That has been the number one takeaway for me. Not
the kids. Kids actually like you. Guys are dweves, We're
going over there, kids make fun of us. It's the adults,
super big adults that do crazy, wild in anything on
social media that has been more shocking than anything.
Speaker 1 (14:52):

seven ninety nine on Fix. It's kind of It's just
(16:58):
a simple thought. You know, we all love our people,
your parents, your siblings, or your spouse, your partner, whoever.
But do you need to be on social media, especially
their star athlete, where it's only going to come back
on them. Rob and I one of you know, a
few times we agree on something where you gotta relax,
let them be because there's no win, there's no upside.
But maybe you feel differently eight seven seven ninety nine
(17:20):
on Fox.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So we got Clarence in Chicago. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
What's up Clarence?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Hey, what's up Rock the Legends? Hey, I'm good man,
first time call the long timeless my mind.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
We appreciate that. Thank you, Hey, Ron.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
One of Real Quick.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
One of my favorite ones is when you and Christmas
h trash horrors right where you were talking about Jordan. Yeah,
that was about.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Horse Brant Rob.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't know, because we came up with some nonsense
about Jordan, so we had to give him the business
right class, Yeah we did, No doubt that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
One was funny.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But yeah, romaduns ain't father. I agree with both of y'all.
I think he should be a shame to himself, like
they just came home like their biggest win or wise,
and he his thought like Rome was blocking great for
the team. And I feel like if DJ Moore not
complaint and he's getting paid, you know, highest right receiver,
(18:29):
and if he's not complaining, I don't think that your father,
well somebody else's fathership like tweeting about his son again
traded like he might mess around and trade his ass
to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
You hey, you ain't wrong when you're right class.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That's right. And then he'd be having a heart attack
on that one, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I don't know what he would say with that. I
don't know what he would saying.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
A seven seven ninety nine on Fox is our telephone
number if you want to jump in. What about Andre
and Mats? The chooses you're in the couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Dry, How are you?
Speaker 9 (19:05):
I'm doing good, Thanks for taking a call. Happy Friday.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
There's a time and place and a point where keeping
it real goes wrong, okay, and when you need your
family members to go out there and go to bat
for you and to put your messaging out. It's just
the slippery slope and it's not it's not a good thing.
And particularly Calvin you mentioned it now that.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Everybody has access to everybody else all the time visa
vis social media, it's like people can't they can't get
themselves away, they can't attach themselves, and it's just a
it's just a situation to Pandora's box.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
So relatives to Harrison Junior, Listen, there's already situation with
the Cardinals where Kyler Murray's it's already going downhill. How
is that going to help this team stabilize themselves and
try to be competitive in that in that division, that
and that and that improving division. So I'm you know,
it's just as much as it's good for clicks and
people tuning in and getting access to you, it has
(19:58):
nothing to do where there's a sets on the field,
which is why people pay attention to you in the
first place. To take a step back, get away, don't
hit that sen button.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Thanks taking the call. Yeah, I appreciate that. That's right,
don't hit that.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Hey, he brought a great point. You can just write
it all out, Rob, get it off your chest and
then delete it. You know what I mean. Sometimes you
got to just get it out. You don't have to
you don't have to post it, just say write it.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's a good I couldn't imagine my late mom going
on Twitter when I was doing first take and ripping
skip or something.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You know what I mean. I would, but here's the thing.
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
He let skip, would let Rob talk more? Or he
gonna go to another thing.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I'll say, Rob, remember what I said though, forty fifty
sixty year olds and all I said, it is the
older people that shocking me, because here's what I mean.
You're the ease of access and how much she loves you.
She could have just easily just said Skip, you're wrong.
Stop talking to myself. You know, it's so easy now
like you used to never be able to get on
(20:55):
the session.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, but but that would be I just couldn't see
like a parents want long.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Before Mama Dub. Yeah, Mama Dub might listen, but you
watch your back, Rob. She already might be.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I know you, I know your mom be listening to
the show. You go, I can't, I can't. Hey, real quick,
Mama Dub, my Mama dub and minute. She's been hanging
out with my sister in Atlanta. My sister told me.

arms with mom the other day, and I come back
in the car excited to tell her about like, oh,
I find a dealer or something. She goes before she
can even get the words out, she said, I'm listening
to Kelvin right now, and it was me and you.
She said, I'm listening to the odd couple. She shop.
My sister. She couldn't even tell us. She was so
(21:39):
into the odd couple. So shout out to Mama Dub
for always listening.
Speaker 2 (21:42):

Speaker 1 (21:46):

Speaker 4 (22:13):
All right, Steve, thank you having an excellent weekend. My friend,
our couple Rob and Kelvin on a funky flashback Friday
Eights and Pains. You sneak in during the holiday hustle
and bust of the league and help you forget the pain.
It makes some happy memories instead with just one pill,
a leap ofvides up to twists right, twelve hours of
body pay release so you can keep it moving. Use
as director signed down for our guy, Lamar Mitchell. It's right,
(22:37):
what's up Lamar.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Tonight?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We're doing great and you know Kelvin is one and
nine in his last ten picks.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
What is he won in nine ye in his last
ten picks?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
First of all, First of all, that's family business.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I want I want Lamar to know that that new
tower that putting up in Vegas has something to do
with Kelvin.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Lamar I told them I keep one in my back pocket.
That's what that one is. It's a hard reset. I
get to reset like he did with Shekel City Elizah
Hru time the rebound come back. Let's do it. I'm
gonna pull Dennis Robbins. Dennis Robbins straight rebound. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
All right, am I starting this off? Here we go,
Let's do it. I don't have the list here, I'll
go first.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
No, no, no, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. All right.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm going on the record of saying that I think
that Daniel Jones and the Colts are frauds. They beat
up on the bad teams, they lose to the good teams.
But thankfully for them, this week they get the Falcons
on the neutral site in Berlin on Sunday. How much
action are we seeing Indianapolis Minus six and a half
in this spot.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
You know, Joe Puplick is all over the Colts. They're
not buying that they're fraud The shopsmen back and forth
on the seeing initial six and a half sixty plus five.
Then we got it down to five, and then they
laid the five, and they laid to six, and now
we're back at six and a half, though, sharps have
been back all over this game, but the public definitely
(24:13):
in favor of the Colts, have five to one clips
as far as tickets on this game.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Here, all right, let's go to this one. This was interesting, Lamar.
Baltimore had one of the worst defenses in the league
the first couple of months of the season. Everybody's knew that.
We saw that. Everybody coul put up thirty forty on them.
But they've come around the last few games. The Ravens
have only allowed one passing touchdown over that stretch. Now,
with that in mind, Lamar had to assume the betters
are taken up under forty seven and a half when
(24:37):
Baltimore takes on Minnesota this week, right or where are
they at?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
No, No, we're forty We're at forty nine right now.
They have just counted this total up from forty seven
all with to forty nine. The sharps have been all over,
the public have been all over three to one ticket counts,
and money is about two to one in favor of
the over, So they're you know, they're buying this offense.
Now that Lamar happening back in action and they're buying
(25:01):
that is going to go over that total forty nine
right now.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Well by score forty himself.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, that's crazy. All right.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
We've said this before, even going back to college. Baker
Mayfield is one of the best underdog stories in football.
So it should come as no surprise then that he's
really struggled as a favorite. Baker only covers thirty eight
percent of the time when he's the favorite in his
NFL career. With that in mind, I'm assuming that the
Sharps are all over the Pats plus two and a
(25:30):
half in this game, right you know.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You know what, Rob, you will be not correct in
this situation. Shots haven't touched Shots really haven't touched this
when at all the public though, the public they like
the underdog story and they're laid in about two to
one tickets and about two to one money. They're all
over Baker and that underdog story. So shots are laid
off of Hopefully we'll see which direction they get on Sunday,
(25:55):
which the rection they wind up on Sunday morning.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
All right, well let's go here, lamar you bet MGM
director right now on with the ACAPA, Robin Kelvin on
this fucky flashback Friday. In the last nine years, Lamar,
the Jets are just one and eight coming off of
five with the average margin at least Yeah, you ain't
that about that? The brand muffin, as you'd like to say,
almost two touchdowns per game is what they've been losing by.
(26:18):
I know the Browns. Look, the Browns aren't great this season,
but I can't imagine anybody's taking a Jets plus two
in this game, right, And that's not even counting them
trading away two of their best players and Quentin Williams
and Sauce Gardner.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Delvin, You're absolutely right. I mean, this is a situation
where I mean, Dylan Gabriel, the public is all on
the money wise ticket wise five to one in favor
of the Browns, as far as tickets, seven to one
in favor of the Browns, as far as money, and
the Sharps. Once we open this number at two Jets
favor two, the Sharks pounced on plus two plus one
(26:53):
and a half plus one minus one, and now we're
at two. So that does where the shots have been
on this game. No one is really given the Jets
eighty shot here except for the except for those fellows
that are in the NYJ lockter room.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
All right, I believe that.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
All right, big game coming up Sunday night, Steelers in
the Chargers. I've read today that Mike Tomlin covers the
spread at sixty two percent clip as an underdog, and
what do you know, Pittsburgh is a two and a
half point road dog in Los Angeles. How much action
are you seeing on the Steelers here?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Kind of action from the shots? I mean, like you said,
they know Tomlin's reckoned as a dog. They beat them
when we open this initially at plus three three and
a half, they hit the plus three and now we're
down to two and a half. Public, though, is a
different than Joe. Public is definitely on the Chargers that
lay in that two two and a half three. But
(27:49):
the Shots definitely taken the plus points here and they looked,
you know, this would be Joe's versus pros.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
All right, Lavia, let's talk about it. We got to
talk about my lions. Look, they look bad last week.
I don't know what they were doing. It made me
mad against the Minnesota Vikings. But if there's a silver lining,
if there's something you can lay on, Lamri, is that
Detroit has covered the spread and twelve straight games following
a loss, and I know the spread has jumped all
the way up. It was them favored by three now
it's eight on the road against Washington. But this has
(28:17):
to be a game where the pros and the Joes
are both the line they got Detroit big or no.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah yeah, i'l right, Kevin, this is this is definitely
a seme game with the public and the pros. I
mean it's this is one of those games. I mean,
money's about three to one in favor of the Lions.
Take it's ten to one from the public on the Lion.
The pros have bet this game up from like seven
and a half, eight, eight and a half, nine, nine
(28:42):
and ours on the way to where we are right now.
So it's gonna be a game that we're definitely gonna
need Washington and hopefully they can cover the spread and
help the boys out here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm gonna tell you this, this is going to be
a signature loss for the Lions.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I'm gonna pick Washington in this game.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You already did that no playoffs, I know.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And I was right, I'm gonna pick.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I'm picking.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Why would you do it now. I'm just picking Washington.
I just want I put that out there lamorrow. Okay,
this will be the signature loss that will start the
end of the Lions making the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
This shoot lamary, lamar, lam lamar. This is what he does.
So why when the Lions beat him big, he'll go
They're supposed to, They were supposed to. Jadon Daniels didn't
even play. He think he's slick. You see what he does? Right?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Last for me, rams in forty nine. I'm not listening
to that Rams in forty nine. It should be the
game of the weekend. I saw this morning that the
line moved from the Rams minus three to the Rams
minus four and a half. That's big because eight different
games between Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan have been decided
by three points or less. With that in mind, how
(29:52):
much action are we seeing with the Niners plus four
and a half.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Very little, believe it or not? Very little. It's like
they still you know this, Matt Jones, he just keeps
going on. He's like the energizer bunny. You cut him
out and he just keeps going. The publics and the
Sharps definitely have been on the Rams minus the three,
minus the three and a half minus the four. You know,
(30:18):
they're just all over this team here. No no real
sizable action on the forty nine ers, which is kind
of unbelievable. To Today's one of those games where you
say the team's pullay close, and it's a division game,
so we'll see what happens on Sunday though.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah I know for some reason, I mean this to
forty nine ers is just no matter what injury, they
stay in these games or win these games too. Last
one here, the Jags might be five and three, but
nobody actually thinks that they're any good. In fact, Jacksonville
is one of the just three teams in the league
with the winning record but a negative point differential. So
where are the Sharps on this game? Coming up against
the Houston Texans. Jags are currently one point row favorites tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Yeah, we are just really open this game. Texans at
minus one and the Sharps took that minus one and
now we're all the way around to Jacks minus one.
So that tells you even though the Jacks have not
been impressive, the Sharps are definitely on them. The public
is on them at about two to one clip and
about two to one also as far as tickets on
(31:19):
the jack, so believe it or not, as their record goes,
they just don't believe that the Texans without C. J.
Stroud will be able to muster up any fight in
this game here.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
All right, all right, there you have it. We'll see
how it all works out.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Lamar, thank you so much, as always, always man, I appreciate.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
It, appreciate you having me fellas from the great weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:37):

M Mitchell Benham, you're gonna give us all the odds
earlier on Friday. We're gonna stick with those odds here today.
He gave you the information in the last segment, don't
blow it. Game number one, Falcons at the Colts technically
in Berlin, Danny Dimes and the fallas six and a
half point home favorites.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Rob Parker, it looks so obvious to take the Colts
in this situation. I'm gonna take the Falcons plus the points.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I'm not mad at that pick. Actually that's a lot
of points, especially on being out of the country. But
give me the Colts. Give me a bounce back, and
it picked up some nice pieces as well defensively. Give
me the Colts.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Game number two, Lamar Jackson is second game back. Had
a nice little mini bo off the Thursday night. Four
point road favorites against JJ McCarthy and the Vikings.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Dub you have a just both give us bubb Lamar,
do anyway start saying give us bouve Lamar.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I'm taking the Ravens plus minus to four and a half.
What is the four and a half? Four? Four? Yeah, yeah,
I'll take all right.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
Game number three NFL picks can pick off NFL games
against the spread. My MVP Drake may the New England
Patriots in Tampa to take on Baker Mayfield, my arch nemesis,
and the Bucks Bucks.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Two and a half point home favorites. Rob Parker, No
way that the Patriots gonna win again. I got the.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Bucks again, Yes, I mean no, I'm just saying like
they're off to a great start.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I got the Bucks. The Bucks gonna win this game,
win again the number two and a half.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Not a Bucks? Got that? Okay? I wish I could
just the Bucks, dang it.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
I wanted to go no love, no respect from my
MVP choice about Baker not covering the Spad as a favorite.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
But you care, didn't you remember you picked the Jets
go to the super Bowl?
Speaker 8 (35:47):
That was three years ago? Sorry, don't you remember? You
had Tom Brady never winning again? Quiet game number four,
the MVP front runner a quarter NFL execs Matthew Stafford
and the Rams four and a half point road favorites
in the Bay taking on Mac Jones and the forty
nine Ers.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Kevin Washington.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
This is a great divisional matchup, but give me the
give me the Rams, even though I don't feel comfortable
with Dan't gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
This is why you're won and nine your last tight.
I'm gonna take the forty nine Ers. Games are always points.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Them out right, they are they are. I can't disagree
with you eight times this game decided by three points
last week. You got it. But I'm gonna go this
way that there's too many injury, too nicked up there
and I'm gonna.
Speaker 8 (36:32):

Rodgers coming back to California to take on Justin Herbert
