I start talking. I know whatthey were discussing though, which is a
great item coming up for the holidaysea So for if you've got a golfer

they just recorded earlier this morning freshon the airwaves at five PM picks a
roll Shamannard Sixers back in action thisevening, taking on to New Orleans Pelicans.
Pelicans nine and nine on the seasonfive hundred, they are a two
point home dog to the seventy sixers. Understand we'll break that one down

(01:30):
a little bit in more detail inChampionship week, and college football is fast
approaching Friday PAC twelve Championship between Oregonand Washington. In this game, I
would put this game above the SECChampionship in my opinion, because I think
it's a slam dump. Again,we'll get into those details. What's the
difference in the game. Of course, somebody from the SEC, possibly both

(01:53):
of those teams could be in thefinal four of the College football playoff whatever
they're calling it this year PAC twelveChampionship. Man, it's gonna be a
great game. And they already playedthis game earlier this year. I have
some takes on. I was verypassionate about that loss earlier this year when
I was on the Ducks, beenfollowing along with Washington basically since that since

(02:15):
that loss, cash in a bunchof team total overs with Washington really interested
in this game and oh, bythe way, it's not a standalone on
Friday, because there is another collegefootball game that's championship, but really is
I mean, that is the bigone. So Julian Edlow from DraftKings Sportsbook
will join us at three point thirtygive us his thoughts. Who Oh,
by the way, just to letyou know, Julian top in a flight

(02:42):
ahead him to Vegas tomorrow for thePack twelve championship game. So we'll find
out where he's got his money,what his deal is for Vegas. I
think he's staying at Sarka. Idon't know. We'll find out all that
stuff. I did want to openup, but I wanted to talk some
of course NFL Week thirteen, mixin some odds and ends. But then

(03:05):
I came across the story. Ohmy goodness, I came across a story
from the fine folks over at theliverylinedot com. The great Drew Smith and
those guys are killing it. They'vebeen all over God's Greener this whole football
season. It's been funny to watchthem on socials as they're flying in for
all these away games for the Birds. And of course all we do is

(03:29):
win. So the reaction is great, and they do tremendous content over there.
And Drew's Therew's Drew. You know, Drew's been on this show many
many times. I love Drew,So I didn't know anything of it.
Like, this is the thing whenit comes to social media, with a
lot of this stuff, it's likeif you're not up on it. I'll
give you a perfect example. Lastnight, we went to the Flyers game,
myself, Powers, Sean Bernard,and John Jans. We all go

(03:52):
to the Flyers game. iHeart Tookcare of Us. Was a great time,
great seats, ugly game. Thoughfor one loss. What were you
talking about? Were talking about theGiddy situation, Josh Giddy? And there
was another one. What was iton social media? I forget the exact
details of what it was. Well, I forget the Zach same the Zach's

(04:15):
story it was. But the Giddyis is a good example where if you
have no idea, if you're noton social media, you have no idea
whateverybody's talking about. None, Like, if you don't live on social media,
if you're not checking it forty timesa day, do you really know
what the hell's going on with theGiddy Josh Giddy in the Oklahoma City.
There's probably some of you out there. We're going no, I have no

(04:35):
idea what is going on. Andapparently again alleged, just the NBA is
looking into it. He's still playingfor the Oklahoma City Thunder, but apparently
he was out there, uh,you know, flirting or being around and
underage or a minor. And sothey're digging there. You are digging on

(04:56):
that one, and of course moreinformation will be coming and we'll find out
what's true what's not. But that'sone of those stories that's on social media.
It's not on ESPN, nor shouldit be. You know, the
investigation. You got to let thesethings play out, you know, these
stories to come out of nowhere onsocial media. The one right now that
everybody's losing their mind over is thekid in the headdress that was at the

(05:19):
Vegas game represent the Kansas cityation apparentlyas a Native American, which is just
wild. But he painted his face, had the headdress, and everybody's all
losing their minds and the next thing, you know, it's like, okay,
well, why don't you do somedigging before writing that article about how
everybody should be upset and you'll findout that this kid actually has some background.

(05:41):
But again, that's another one.Like there's so many things that happen
on social media. It's like,dude, I can't keep up with all
of them. So I don't know. Apparently this happened. And I'm on
the Liberty Line just checking out whatthe guys are doing over there and phl
y sports. I got some gotnothing negative to say, you know,

(06:02):
I think that their operation is runby Gargano. Good good for them.
Like I said, I got someguys over there that I'm friendly with and
some friends that I would never sayanything negative about the whole operation. I
had no idea that a former coworkerof mine was the head of director of

(06:25):
operations Couch. Yeah. So there'san article at the Liberty Line. I
just tweeted it out, and allit is, it's another song and nants
of a guy getting in some ofthese dms and telling the line. In
my opinion, I don't really thinkit was all that bad. It's just

(06:47):
it's weird, it's creepy, it'snerdy, it's all the above. I
don't really I would not do it. I'm a married man. I have
no idea what coaches deal is oranything on those lines. But it's a
great article written by Drew Smith overat deliveryline dot com. So go check
that out. Coach, when Iworked with him for a few years,

(07:10):
he was a nerd. He wasa nerd, a dork, a nerd,
whatever you want to say, right. I just think that that's they
go hand in hand, and Ibelieve that's kind of what's happening here.
I don't know if he was underthe influence or whatnot, but he dropped
this girl DMS where he was askingher if she wanted tickets to a game

(07:36):
to an Eagles game. All right, no harm there, and then he
kind of like was like all right, I'm off and he was just on
to another thing. He's like okay, and the girl was like, oh,
are you selling tickets? And he'slike, no, I work for
a sports doc media company in Philly, I have tickets for Sunday. All
right, cool? He said,if you want to go, let me

(07:59):
know. Okay, cool, andthen he just like switched it up and
was like just hey, you don'tfollow me, And like I said,
he's just a nerd. I mean, nice guy. I don't want to
like talk bad about him. IfI ever saw him out, I'd said,
gohch what's happening man? But he'sa nerd and that's clearly what's coming

(08:20):
off here. He's getting destroyed againstthe director of operations. Though, bro,
come on, man, you know, if you're out there representing that
company, you gotta walk the fineline. He can't be You gotta be
careful. And this girl obviously tookoffense to it, and she's been firing

(08:43):
tweets left and right, getting herWell. I don't want to say that
because again, it happened to her, So she's doing handling how she wants
to. There's nothing wrong with that. I just don't know, Like,
if you read into this other thanhim being a weirdo, a dork,
a nerd, what exactly was thethe the turning point for you? Like

(09:05):
where did it go south? Andof course I'm saying it did because he's
the director of operations and you justcan't be weird like that, Like you're
representing a whole team over there,and you know a team of people that
you know think very highly of whatthey're doing over there. Although I'm not
sure a lot of people are seeingit, but they do have a lot
of big names over there. Hejust was like really relentless about this.

(09:30):
Okay, good excuse, good luck, Jess. It's just the weirdough at
ten o'clock at night. And thenhe goes this is the best part and
the line and Drew Smith's article wherehe's like, coach goes to her Okay,
enjoy heading to the ritz Carlton Lobbyfor drinks and some munchies dot dot
dot apps. What the hell?Who says that? Making me hungry?

(09:54):
Though? Great breakdown all across theboard. On the othery line, check
it out again. I worked withthis dude for many, many years,
and you know, this dude wasvery nerdy, and I'm sure that a
lot of people would be saying thesame thing. Again. That was a
long time ago, though, Sothat's why I'm kind of chuckling at this.

(10:16):
Uh but still oh true actually goesin on him. He says,
I'm not sure if he deserves apromotion for actually making real event to go
off. In all seriousness, yousimply cannot condone this type of behavior.
Women deserve better in using your platformto violate their trust by dangling false promises
of Eagles tickets. Is absolutely disgusting. Yeah, I would agree with that.

(10:37):
I would agree with that, Yeah, one hundred percent that, you
know, if that's what he wasdoing. Sure, if that's how she
took it, I get it.But who knows. Because he went on
to say, Hey, we're doinga watch party, come on out.
I think he was crossing the line. Let's put it that way, and
a little bit of a nerd slashshooting his shot and saying like and act

(11:00):
cool. Oh, I got tickets. You know it's backfiring on them because
he is getting pulled through the fire. Let's put it that way. Well,
anyways, if you want to checkit on that one, because that's
always a fun Philadelphia sports media topicto dive in. So he doesn't represent
the station that I worked for anymore, but he is with that team over
there, which was very surprising tome. I did not I haven't really

(11:22):
paid too much of the hires.My man, Devon Givens is awesome and
looking forward for his content to beback out there, and oh he's a
part of the team. They gota great NBA team over there with Bodner
and Hoffman and Devon. I reallydon't really care about the other dude.
But the and like I said,you know, well, they got the

(11:43):
national thing going too, which wassomething with Baldy out there, and then
Legler, which is good. AndI know that they started in Denver and
there they came out and like,oh, we're doing this big thing,
and then I haven't seen anything andI don't know, Like, uh,
it's just difficult, right, It'seither you're in that space and or not.
We know it better than most becausewe're trying. We've been trying to

(12:07):
be in that space for a longtime on the YouTube and the videos and
all that, and we got ourselvesto leg up. We're doing well.
But again, it's just so toughbecause there's so many podcasts are out there's
so many people out there are greatcontent creators that just you know what,
are focused on their channel, theirshow, and they're able to make it
bigger than most. I was justwatching a video of some kid that was

(12:28):
working with with the Hell is hisname Tyreek Hill, and he was talking
about how he ended up getting thegig because he shot a shot and Tyreek's
DMS and he brought him in andthis kid's just an animal of a content
creator. So I mean, look, there's a lot of talented people out
there in that space with differential differentiatesus from other places that obviously we have

(12:52):
this platform. These microphones were liveon air Fox Sports Radio, hom a
villain of a basketball let's go goodseason so far. That was a big
time win over Memphis in that championshipgame. They smashed them. A great
run out there in the Bahamas.And that's coming to wait six anyways,
Coach Camille, come on, coachoh, coach probably not gonna be good

(13:13):
for him because, like I said, he's getting absolutely torched right now with
all these people here. All right, let's keep it moving because I got
some things I got to get intoas far as the NFL is concerned.
First and foremost, let's talk aboutthe game and the forty nine ers media,
the players still stirring it up.We got the birds. Everybody's fired
up here in Philadelphia for this game. Where I stand, I've been front

(13:37):
and center from the beginning. Waskind of surprised with the number to where
it was three point spread. Fortynine ers holding steady right now, forty
seven up a tick from forty fiveand a half. If I'm not mistaken
where it opened. So We're atforty seven right now. That's where I
thought. I thought we would seepoints in this game. And if you
didn't listen to yesterday's show or MondayShow where we jabbed at it a little

(13:58):
bit, my thought process on thisgame is simply this. I think this
Eagles defense is going to be tired. It's gonna be a really tough ask
for them to slow down Christian McCaffrey. Now, does that mean I have
the Eagles losing. No. Sothat's why I think points. I think
points more than anything in this game. Hopefully it's dry on Sunday for other
people going to the game, especiallythe ones that we're at. The game

(14:20):
against Buffalo. However, I justthink that this defense is gonna be up
against it, especially with the healthof Fletcher Cox. You know how many
other players got hurt on the defensiveside of the ball. I know Lane
Johnson is supposed to be coming back, you know. So these are the

(14:41):
things that are going to hurt thatEagles defense. Number one, Number two,
the fact that they just played ninetyplus snaps against the Bills on Sunday.
I assume that this week down inNovacare is gonna be pretty light.
What could you ask that defense todo throughout the course of the week other
than just walk through. No,I don't know what a typical week is
during the season week thirteen, twelve, thirteen in between there as far as

(15:05):
hitting is concerned. But I justdon't think you're gonna be asking that defense
to do too much now, KenJalen Carter be the difference maker that he's
been all season long. Of course, Hassan Reddick, who's come on strong
in the last five or so weeks. Of course BG the animal that he
is. I'm right there with you, you know, I doubt that any
new signing is going to have animpact on this game. I don't think

(15:26):
that anybody would play. Of course, the news that came down today with
the Shaquille Barrett down at our Leonardat the airport, Philadelphia Airport where John
Clark caught the image. So ShaquilleLeonard left Dallas Cowboys about a contract,
came to Philadelphia. Will find out. But even if he's signed today,

(15:50):
he's not gonna be playing on thatgame on Sunday. I don't think who
knows. We'll see what happens there. But I just think this is a
really tough ass for this Eagles defenseto go through what they did against the
Bills ninety plus snaps, losing FletcherCox again, all the other players that
are dinged up from that game againstBuffalo that was a hard fuck game,

(16:10):
and going up against the team thathas the offensive weapons like the forty nine
ers. Oh, by the way, Shanahan, the way he calls the
run game, McCaffrey the best backin the game, I think the forty
Nineers are gonna score some points.Now. On the flip side, I
do believe that Jalen Hurts and theEagles will score points, and I think
they're going to do it by puttingit in the air. So I'm looking
at AJ Brown. We'll find outwhat Dallas Goddard is doing this week if

(16:34):
he's back. I think that's ahuge addition. As much as they were
able to win these games, youknew you felt like the offense was missing
something, and that, of courseis Dallas godd It. Goddard is really
good, a really good tight end, so he freeze things up for other
players out there, such as DeVanteor aj So I like them to put
the ball in the air run intofootball. Of course, Jalen Hurts.

(16:57):
Anytime touchdown you have to weigh onit. I like points in this game
though. It's definitely the theme forme in this game on Sunday. Looking
forward to it. But three pointsspread right now on DraftKings Sportsbook. Other
games from week thirteen and we canwe'll get into some NFL plays with Julian
Edlo from DraftKings coming up on theother side. Seahawks and Cowboys coming up

(17:18):
on Thursday night Tomorrow night, andfolks, we got our watch party.
Come on out now Maggie's under Waterfrontand we will be live starting at eight
pm. We're gonna be rocking outall night long and we're giving away a
trip to see the Eagles and thatcould be a future trip, that could
be a trip this year. We'regonna have all the details for you tomorrow,

(17:40):
but we will be giving away apair of Eagles tickets and other great
Miller like giveaways coming your way Tomorrownight Live and Maggie's on the Waterfront on
Thursday. Looking forward to that oneonce again. Cowboys and Seahawks will watch
party. We're gonna have the wholeGambler gang out there. Roy myself,
Chance and Tanzy Luke Beef Powers,but no, the whole team's gonna be

(18:03):
out there. If I forgot you, I'm sorry. Anyways, tomorrow night,
Maggi's at the waterfront, come onout for the Boys and the Seahawks.
Cowboys holding steady at nine. Ithink it came down to eight and
a half, and I'm not mistaken. Yesterday, forty seven and a half
is your total on that one.Now, Jeff Parl's joined us Live from
Las Vegas yesterday and he said hethinks that the Seahawks are absolutely cooked.

(18:23):
Now that's a good thing because theEagles have the Seahawks coming up on the
schedule as well, and that's onthe road. That's gonna be really difficult.
So as a matter of fact,it's two weeks from now, it's
on December to seventeenth, so itgoes forty nine Ers, Cowboys, and
then Seahawks and then the Giant's onChristmas Day. True story, I asked
my wife, I can go tothat Christmas Day game? That was a

(18:44):
bad idea. That was a badidea. Should not have asked. That
was like the first time that I'veever been screamed at like that, And
it was just a Honestly, itwasn't even like, hey, I want
to go. It was like,hey, they're playing on Christmas. Would
you be okay if me and yourold man went down? No, man,
it's a dieard and she just likeher face turned red on Christmas Day?

(19:08):
You're gonna leave us and go toan Eagles game and spitting I'm like,
well, it's gonna be sold out. It's not like I'm the only
one that's leaving my family to dothis bad idea. Don't skip Christmas anything
for an Eagles game. And ifyou are going, good luck to you.
I'm happy for you. But forme, that did not fly all

(19:30):
right. Staying with Week thirteen,just real quick if we can, because
a couple of games that stood outto me. We had major line movement
from the beginning of the week,and a lot of these games, uh,
the first one that I will dialup here and it seems like it's
coming back down a little bit,and that's normally what happens with a lot
of these numbers. Although this oneisn't. The Chargers is up to six.
I think that opened up at fourif I'm not mistaken, So Charger

(19:52):
as six point favorites on the roadagainst the Patriots. The Patriots are just
atrociously good. Chargers have lost three, so you have to think that they're
going to find a way to bounceback. Although what are they playing for.
They're not playing for much. They'redefinitely not going to be making the
playoffs. I don't think really stackdecked against them to do so. Anyways,
Charger six point favorites on the road, you definitely have to like LA.

(20:15):
I'm comfortable under a touchdown. You'retalking about two different teams here,
one of the worst scoring teams inthe league. I don't even know if
the Patriots averaged two touchdowns and scoringfourteen points. I do know the Chargers
are up there with twenty nine anda half. I think that's the number.
So if you want to go aheadand give it to me under a

(20:36):
touchdown, I'm all about that one. That's where I'm staying on that one,
the big one that I have myattention on more than most Broncos and
Texans. Broncos have won five straight, and I'm not here to tell you
that anything is foogazy about winning fivestraight, especially in the NFL. Before
those five were at home and theygot a lot of turnovers, a lot

(20:56):
of really bad play from the opposingteams that they were going up against.
But a win is a win,Russell. And you know what, that
defense has really turned it around morethan anything. Defense is good. Talking
about a team that gave up seventyto the Miami Dolphins, and now I'm
talking about praising. I'm praising thedefense of the Denver Broncos. It's wild

(21:18):
tough match, though, because theTexans can sling it now. Will this
be a spot where CJ. Stroudlooks like a rookie quarterback? I haven't
seen that game yet. Especially inthe last five or six games. CJ.
Stroud has looked like a polished quarterbackout there. Will this be the
game that maybe he's guessing, maybehe's forcing it. It's a three and
a half point spread. I thinkthe odds makers are kind of telling us

(21:41):
a little something there. Of course, never get beat by the hook get
that down to three, and Ithink I did earlier this week. So
I am on the Houston Texans atthree on that one, but three and
a half here, I'm still comfortable. Given three and a half, I
like the Texans to win that game. Probably watch it, it'll be a
four point win. The other gamesthat I have my ion and I'm gonna
keep it real simple, kiss,keep it simple. Stupid bad football teams

(22:07):
led by bad quarterbacks. The NewYork Jets are atrocious. I don't care
who they throw. I don't careif Aaron Rodgers is out there lefty.
I don't care if they dial upMike White and bring him back into the
equation or whatever quarterback they have onthe roster. At this point in time,
they're two and a half point dogs. They're at home. I know
the defense is good. They're cooked. They want no part of this game,

(22:29):
no part of the season, andthe Falcons actually are playing for something
the Division two and a half undera field goal. I'm taking Atlanta on
the road. I will wait andsee what the money line might be if
we get it a little tick lowery, you never know, money I might
come in on the Jets. Currentlysitting at minus one forty eight, I
don't even hate that, going downthe road and coming away with that victory
thirty four, A lo lo lolow total of thirty four. Not much

(22:52):
movement there. The other one thatI have my eye on is the Buccaneers
and the Panthers. Again, Panthersare terrible. I don't know what a
special teams coach is going to dodifferently this week to get them into the
end zone. I mean, AdamThielen is their number one player on offense.
Tells you all you need to know. Now. The Bucks have been

(23:14):
atrocious, They've been terrible, andthey can't score points. So here they
are. They're given five and ahalf. Game is in Tampa. I
could see this being a seven pointwin for the Buccaneers, So I have
no issues laying the five and ahalf. Definitely rolling with a lot of
favorites this week, but coming offof last week, that's such a bad
thing. I think we had twelvefavorites out of all the games cover last

(23:36):
year or last week, which wasjust incredible. Those are some of the
games that are jumping off at me. You got the Lions and Saints.
Detroit really got embarrassed on Thanksgiving.Are they going to be able to find
their groove against the Saints? TheSaints, that's a team that's dealing with
a ton of injuries, a lavesand concussion protocol. Will he be good

(23:56):
to go for Sunday? We'll findout they're already down so many wide receivers,
so how are they gonna make plays? I love Kamara from the standpoint
of DFS or Fantasy this week,of course, who wonn't, But for
this one right here, I thinkit's the Detroit Lions. The four points
spread on that one only because theSaints. How are they gonna score points?
Two games that I know we discussedyesterday kind of had us a little

(24:19):
guessing nine and a half for theDolphins against the Commanders. If he made
me make a play, I woulddefinitely roll with the Dolphins here, definitely
under double digits. I have noissues there. They could run the football
down the throat of Washington. Thegame is in DC. Two hasn't been
asked to do much if he hasto throw the football, don't you have
confidence with Tyreek Hill and Waddle andthat cast of weapons that he has down

(24:41):
there? So I'm gonna ride withMiami at nine and a half. Don't
really love it, but excuse me. The nine and a half, I
would just say why not? Andthen last but not least, the Cardinals
and Steelers Steelers defense, that's atotal of forty one. I don't know
how anybody looked at this game andsays, oh, I like the over.

(25:03):
You know they fire Matt Canada thatthey go for four hundred and now
of a sudden, you're throwing aforty one on the line here. Kyler
Murray's good. What is he gonnado against that defense? The Pittsburgh Steelers
defense is a top five defense inthe game. They can get after the
quarterback make life difficult. Of course, with TJ. Watt out there and
a bunch of sacks. I thinkhe's at leading the league now in sacks

(25:23):
if I'm not mistaken on that onethirteen and a half. All I know
is the Steelers and that defense.Give me the under on that one forty
one and unders have been to playall the season long. That's my thoughts
on all things for Week thirteen,the two Sunday or the two primetime games
again primetime totals under under. Imean, Jake Browning is your starting quarterback

(25:47):
for the Cincinnati Bengals. Not toomany people know who the hell he is.
Points will be a premium in thisone thirty eight. I have no
issues taking the under on that one. Jacksonville give an eight and a half
that's a lot of points. Andthen on Sunday night, let's go to
lamboll That's gonna be pretty cool.Patrick Mahomes first start on the road at
Lambeau. Six point favorites forty twois your total. Don't touch the total

(26:07):
on that one, and hopefully getourselves a good ball game in that one,
because I think that's got the makingsof Jordan Love and Mahomes going head
to head. But we'll see,because that Chiefs defense can get after Jordan
Love and make life extremely difficult forthe young quarterback who really doesn't have anybody
to throw the football too, exceptfor Christian Watson. We'll find out what
Julian Edlo has to say. He'sgonna join me on the out side representing

(26:29):
five folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook.Plus we'll get his thoughts on the NBA
and the Big One, the bigone as my guy is heading down to
Las Vegs to borrow for the Pactwelve championship game dudas Julian Edlo backed on
Friday nine and a half points spreadhere on Draftings sports Book between Oregon and

(26:51):
Washington. Find out on the otherside, it's the daily ticket back after
this, a weird outside. HelloHeaven, the Devil mak and I am
just the devil with Couse. She'sa love
