Football season has arrived, and we're kicking things off with a special guest! My wife Darby joins the podcast, bringing her credentials as a five-time fantasy football champion and reigning league winner to our NFL season preview. Though she doesn't consider herself a gambler, her player knowledge and football insights prove invaluable as we break down each NFL division.
The conversation takes several fascinating turns, from Bill Belichick's embarrassing collegiate coaching debut to the controversial Micah Parsons trade that has Cowboys fans fuming. Jerry Jones lands squarely on our "Stay Frosty" hot seat list for his handling of the situation, with Darby providing damning statistics about Dallas's playoff drought and questionable front office decisions.
Our division-by-division breakdown reveals several betting opportunities where oddsmakers might have it wrong. We both agree the Commanders at +210 represent excellent value in the NFC East, while disagreeing on whether the Packers' acquisition of Micah Parsons makes them favorites in the North. When examining long-shot Super Bowl contenders, the Steelers at 45-1 emerge as an intriguing option with Aaron Rodgers potentially revitalizing the franchise.
The episode culminates with our complete Week 1 picks against the spread, where we find surprising consensus on most matchups, including taking the Eagles over Cowboys in Thursday's opener and the Chiefs over Chargers in Friday's Brazil game. Our locks of the week feature the Buccaneers (-2) against rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and the Lions (+1.5) to upset the Packers at Lambeau.
Whether you're building your betting card for the weekend or simply preparing for fantasy football matchups, this comprehensive NFL preview provides the perfect foundation for the season ahead.

Andy (00:16):
Hey everybody.

It's Thursday, thursday night.
Football is on.
Tonight.
I got my Cowboys on, eventhough I'm not super excited
about them this season.
But we'll get into all thatlater.
I want to just get to ourspecial guest for this week.
(00:39):
We have, for the first timeever, a new guest to the podcast
.
This week I have invited theone and only my wife, darby
Royst, here.
Darby (00:51):
Hi everybody.
Andy (00:52):
Now Darby, would you consider yourself an expert
gambler?
Darby (00:56):
Absolutely not.
Andy (00:57):
Absolutely not.
Would you consider yourself acasual gambler?
Darby (01:02):
No.
Andy (01:03):
Absolutely not, absolutely not.
Yourself a casual gambler?
No, absolutely not.
But do you consider yourself anexpert in all things?
Darby (01:09):
nfl I wouldn't say expert , but I'm I know my staff pretty
well.
Andy (01:14):
I think, listen, this is a podcast where we try to toot
our own horn, here.
So then, yes I'm the best.
We're first off.
You're on the number one sportsgambling podcast in liberty
township.
I don't know if you knew thator not.
We are consistently rankednumber one in Liberty Township
gambling podcast, so welcome tothe show.
But yeah, you love the NFL.
(01:36):
Who's your favorite team?
Darby (01:37):
The Denver Broncos.
Andy (01:39):
That's right, and what was I going to ask?
So you don't really gamble alot, but you are the current
fantasy football champion Isthat correct, that's correct.
And how many times have you wonfantasy football leagues?
Rough guess.
Overall so many that you can'teven remember.
(01:59):
Huh, it's that many.
Darby (02:00):
With um.
Andy (02:02):
Just in general.
Darby (02:02):
Maybe five.
Andy (02:03):
Five time, five time Fantasy football champ in the
building here today and it knowsquite a lot about nfl, uh,
follows it, watches all thegames.
So knows her stuff here on thenfl.
So we are digging deep into ourbag of tricks this year.
Season four of the sportsbooksharps and I thought who better
(02:26):
to do an nfl preview thansomebody that won the fantasy
football league last year hasconsistently beat me in fantasy
football and I know that doesn'ttranslate one-to-one with
gambling, but you know who aregood players, you know who are
good teams, things like that.
So even if you don't know likewho's a better line jacksonville
minus three and a half oratlanta plus two or whatever
(02:48):
that kind of stuff you still cangive some advice on it.
And last year for the firsttime you did was that the first
year or is that the second year?
We did it.
Darby (02:56):
We did that picks league oh, I think that was the second
year.
That was the second year.
Andy (03:01):
Okay, so you are every week making every single game,
picking it against the spread,that's true.
So that's a lot more than I cansay for other gamblers.
Now, I don't advocate thateverybody spend money gambling
on every single game every week.
You'd be in the poor houseprobably.
Uh, the way it went.
I think I would have been alittle ahead, and I think you
would have been ahead too, if webet like ten dollars each time.
(03:23):
Uh, we were slightly ahead lastyear.
I don't remember the first yearthat we did it, but uh yeah uh,
and you can't be any worse thanour gambling group.
So we have a gambling group ofeight here on the podcast.
Uh, last week, three and fivethe gambling group went.
We lost money big time.
(03:44):
So, absolutely terrible startto the season.
John steve and I hit our locks.
Uh, most of the locks were atleast close, uh, with the
exception of one, uh, boisestate lock from uncle mike.
That was terrible.
They got blown out.
That game was awful and it wasone of those oddball times
because they were kicking offthe season.
(04:05):
It was at 5.30 Eastern onThursday last week, so it was
like the only game on and theyjust got drilled.
So, speaking of blowouts,though, I wanted to spend a few
seconds on your boy, billBelichick.
He moved.
He's in the college game now.
If you missed it, in theoffseason Belichick left the NFL
(04:27):
and moved on to GreenerPastures in North Carolina.
He is the current UNC Tar Heelshead coach and they got blown
out.
I think it was what 48 to 14 orsomething like that.
It was pretty bad.
Darby (04:46):
It was the age gap of him and his girlfriend, 30.
Andy (04:48):
it was smaller than that, wasn't it?
Darby (04:50):
no, it was the exact age gap it was the four years, was
it?
Andy (04:54):
I thought the age gap was bigger no that can't be right.
She's 24.
24 plus 34.
Darby (05:06):
44?
Andy (05:09):
No, that doesn't make sense.
Yeah, no, I think you read somefake news on that.
I think, there's almost a47-year gap.
Darby (05:17):
It was 41 to 7, and that was their age gap.
Maybe that's what?
Andy (05:22):
Oh, okay, during the game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, maybethat was it.
I can't remember, detailsaren't important.
All we know is bill belichick.
Uh, my favorite thing aboutthis well, two things about this
game was my favorite one.
Everybody on social media thattar heels went up seven nothing.
I know you weren't watching thegame, but they, they went up
seven, nothing, everybody.
(05:43):
And their brother got theirtwitter fingers out and was oh,
this is why bill bella checks agenius.
Bill bella check this.
And it's funny because asyou're scrolling through it
later in the game, sometimestwitter's out of order now, so
those things pop up when thegame's like 34 to seven at
halftime and stuff like that.
So you're reading it and you'reseeing some of these talking
(06:05):
heads on the sports channelsaying that this is exactly what
they expected and this, that.
And I'm reading it as I'mwatching them down 34 and seven
and I'm like, oh, oh, this wasfrom an hour ago, okay, so they
went up seven, nothing.
Everybody went to Twitter andthen they did not score again
until very late in the game theymade they got 14.
I think it was 48-14 was thefinal score.
(06:25):
It was just dreadful.
But then the other funny thing,as we talked about the
71-year-old I think that's hisage, 71, bill Belichick is
dating a 24-year-old and she wason the sideline during the game
.
I don't know if you saw that onsocial media, but they clips of
it where she like walks up tohim during the game and says
(06:46):
something to him and then kindof walks away and people were
going wild on social media withthat she's probably making sure
she was still getting freetuition right, exactly, a lot of
people have talked about hersorority and like how bill had
goes to the sorority parties,all these different things, like
just a bunch of jokes.
I don't think she's actuallyenrolled at unc, but the jokes
are there and, uh, it's a weird,very weird relationship.
(07:10):
So, uh, yeah, I just wanted tobring that up and uh, if you're
thinking about betting on unc,maybe don't do it.
They did not look prepared atall.
I think belichick's probablyjust mailing it in and getting
this paycheck.
But we will see about that.
Mailing it in and getting thispaycheck, but we will see about
that.
All right, I just want to talkreal quick about the two biggest
college games Texas at OSU,clemson at LSU.
(07:37):
They both won by seven, the twoteams, but ESPN, in their bout
of genius, they had multiplepeople voting for LSU ahead of
Ohio State as the number oneteam in all the land.
Now, I don't get it.
I get OSU was at home and theyonly scored 14 points or
whatever, but they won by seven,same as LSU did, and LSU didn't
(07:58):
score that many more points.
They scored 17.
So if you beat the number oneteam, you should get all the
votes for number one if you'rethe number one team, you should
get all the votes for number one.
If you're that close, like ifit's a big upset, if it's like
number 24 beats number one, whatI get the vote splitting,
whatever.
But when you're the numberthree team and you take care of
business and beat them assoundly as they did I know 14 to
(08:18):
seven doesn't sound like it wassoundly that game was never
really in doubt.
Arch Manning looked terrible atquarterback.
He did not look like a Manning,it was terrible.
He was throwing it like weirdsidearm throws, all sorts of
stuff.
So ESPN, get your stuffstraight.
And OSU is clearly the numberone team until they lose a game
(08:41):
Like that's ridiculous that youwould even think LSU is better.
We don't know anything aboutthis Clemson team, if they're
going to be any good or not.
So that's just crazy.
I think that's so flawed.
I just wanted to talk aboutthat.
And then, lastly, the one thingI wanted to talk about from a
gambling perspective the LeeCorso sendoff, of course,
famously on college game day.
(09:02):
He retired after this weekendand I didn't even think about
this until I started to see itlater in the day, but he made
six picks on college game day.
He famously Darby's looking atme like I'm not 100% who this
Lee Corso guy is.
She knows who Lee Corso is, butshe doesn't watch college game
day every Saturday like I do.
I don't know how dumb am I fornot thinking of this.
(09:26):
All six of his picks.
I should have bet them allfirst off and then I also should
have bundled them up into aparlay and bet it, because the
football gods always smile onthings like this.
All six games cover or won, sohe picks just who's going to win
the game.
All six of them.
And then the headgear pick.
For his 431st headgear pick hepicked Brutus the Buckeye, ohio
(09:51):
State's mascot.
He was 287 and 144 all-time inheadgear picks.
So yeah, next time somebody bigretires like that.
Just a mental note for yourselfIf they're an analyst or
something and they're pickinggames, you should probably bet
the games that they're doing.
So but yeah, congrats to LeeCorso in his retirement.
(10:11):
I think he's 90 or 91 years old.
So a couple of NFL rule changes.
All right, we're done withcollege for now we're going to
jump into the NFL.
Just some really minor changeshere.
Darby, overtime possession rulechange I don't even know if you
remember they were different.
The NFL has a problem with someof their rules.
(10:32):
They always had to flash themup and stuff.
But in playoff overtime bothteams were guaranteed the ball,
even if somebody scored atouchdown In regular overtime.
In the regular season thatwasn't the case, so the first
team that got the ball went downand got a touchdown.
The game was over and so theyended up changing that.
(10:54):
So now the regular season, ifthe team gets the ball, goes
down and scores a touchdown, theother team still gets one shot
at it to try and tie it up witha touchdown.
There was actually 16 overtimegames last year.
I was surprised by that.
I didn't expect there to bethat many.
Some replay changes.
I don't know what do you thinkabout this.
(11:16):
One Darby Replay official cannow overturn penalties like a
face mask, a horse collartripping or hits to the head.
Darby (11:27):
Don't you think this is just going to open it up to a
lot of interpretation.
It is so.
That doesn't include challengeslike it used to with the whole
Saints debacle where they threwa challenge.
Andy (11:37):
Oh for yeah, what was that in the end zone?
They called something.
Darby (11:40):
It was a playoff game.
Andy (11:41):
It was holding.
Darby (11:42):
No, it would have been pass interference, pass
interference.
Andy (11:44):
They didn't call it.
Darby (11:45):
They did not call it, so they're not going to throw the
challenge flag now for these.
It's just that they're not no,no, no.
Andy (11:51):
This is overturning of penalties.
Darby (11:54):
That's what I'm asking.
The coaches are not going tothrow a challenge flag.
Andy (12:09):
New York is going to come down and say you need to review
this for these they still havechallenge flags.
Oh, I know they still have,okay, okay.
But I'm asking specificallyabout yes.
Yes, new York can come in andsay hey, that that didn't look
like a face mask, we need tolook at it again.
It's only on assessed penalties.
So right now, like you know,this happens every Sunday.
They call a face mask penaltyand then they slow it down and
show the replay Guy isn'tanywhere near the face mask, the
guy's head just turned orwhatever, and you're like oh,
(12:29):
they can't review a penalty, sonow they can.
Darby (12:33):
I feel like there's more missed calls than there are.
Andy (12:36):
I agree, I agree, but you're not going to look at the
missed ones.
So now, when you see the facemask or whatever mask or
whatever, you can't review that,right.
So I don't think this reallychanges.
That's a good point.
So now that they know, it canbe reviewed, or they're gonna
just start popping flags offright there, right, we're gonna
(12:57):
end up with four hour, five hourgames, hmm.
And then this other thing, theHawkeye technology.
Hd cameras are used todetermine the ball's location
for first downs replacing thechain crew.
Any thoughts on this one?
Darby (13:11):
I like the chain crew.
I don't like that they're doingthe Hawkeye thing.
Andy (13:14):
I don't like this at all.
The chain crew will still bethere, kind of as like what do
you call it?
Like sentimental reasons, likethey're not really there, like
if something goes wrong with theHawkeye thing, they're still
there, but they'll be on thesidelines, so players will still
be running over them and stufflike that that we're accustomed
to, but now the first downs aregonna be spotted.
(13:34):
I mean, that's something Ididn't even notice.
They were doing it in thepreseason, but I didn't notice
it why didn't either?
I had no idea, so maybe we won'teven notice it, but I like the
chain gang too.
Darby (13:45):
I'm a little sad that they're being this place, the
guy that makes sure Sean McVeighdoesn't run into that, the
chain crew, the hold back guy.
Andy (13:54):
I don't know.
Yeah, are they costing otherjobs?
Yeah, we're losing.
Hold back guys, I don't know.
Beats me all right.
That's it for the rule changes.
Not a lot of rule changes.
This year they did want to banthe tush push I don't remember
if you saw that, but that didnot pass as a vote.
Now we're going to move intoour stay frosty segment.
(14:16):
Now, darby, did you make a stayfrosty?
Do you have anybody you want tostay frosty?
Oh, she's looking at me.
I will go first.
So stay frosty.
For the newer viewers here, thisis our like hot seat.
Who's a?
What head coach or GM orsomebody's on the hot seat?
So I'm gonna put up Alabamacoach Kalen DeBoer.
He just got absolutelydemolished at FSU last weekend
(14:40):
after going nine and four in hisfirst year.
They're starting the season inAlabama 0-1.
Now their upcoming two games.
They have LA, louisiana, monroeand Wisconsin.
So they're probably going to go2-1.
But I think I looked ahead attheir schedule.
I think they lose at Georgia.
I think they lose at USC.
(15:02):
I think they lose LSU game athome.
I think they lose at Tennesseeat home and I think, maybe,
maybe they lose to Oklahoma.
I think they lose LSU game athome.
I think they lose the Tennesseeat home and I think, maybe,
maybe they lose to Oklahoma.
We'll see Oklahoma sometimesfake good the Okies.
So we'll see Sooners theSooners.
Oklahoma plays Michigan thisweekend, so we'll get a good
idea if that Oklahoma team's anygood.
(15:22):
But this could be a 6-6 yearfor Alabama.
If they go 6-6, he's fired.
There's no way they're going tolet that happen in Alabama.
Nick Saban won six titles withBama and his worst season was
his very first season in 2007.
They went 7-6 that year.
After that, he never lost fourgames in the 17 seasons.
(15:43):
He was there as a head coach.
After that, he never lost fourgames in the 17 seasons.
He was there as a head coach.
So that is why I am puttingAlabama head coach Kalen DeBoer
up on Stay Frosty, stay Frosty,kalen.
All right, darby.
Darby (15:57):
Now let's hear it.
My Stay Frosty is Jerry Jones.
Andy (16:02):
Oh no.
Darby (16:09):
Jerry Jones is the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and I'm
putting him on the hot seatbecause of this old Micah
Parsons debacle.
So Micah Parsons, he's just agreat player.
He's going to be in the hall offame and Jerry Jones is acting
like it was.
You know he is literal say.
Our reasoning was that it wassimply numbers.
(16:29):
So, on my safe Rossi, I decidedto give him a few numbers to
consider he has only made fourplayoff appearances since 2000
the year 2000 there's.
It's been 30 years since theywon their last Super Bowl win.
And then I mean, can we countthe number of angry fans there's
going to be?
(16:50):
There's too many to count.
Andy (16:51):
Too many what.
Darby (16:51):
Too many to count of angry fans.
Andy (16:53):
Angry fans oh yeah.
Darby (16:55):
That whole situation was not handled well and Michael
Parsons I'm sorry was justtotally disrespected and the
whole thing.
But I think Jerry Jones hasruns his team from top to bottom
and he's a micro manager andhis number of I mean just errors
in the whole Michael Parsonssituation is awful and so I'm
(17:17):
putting him on the hot seatbecause or I'm sorry- the stay
frosty because I think untilJerry Jones is gone, I just do
not see the Cowboys doinganything, because he makes all
the decisions.
Andy (17:30):
That's fair.
That's very fair, State Frosty.
Darby (17:33):
Sorry, Cowboys fans.
Andy (17:34):
No, that's fine.
Cowboys fans will tell you heneeds the State Frosty.
Yeah, no, I'm fine with that.
The Micah Parsons thing is veryupsetting.
That, that's the Micah Parsonsthing is very upsetting.
Two first round picks in thefuture, but I just you give it
to Green Bay Two first roundpicks for Micah Parsons though.
(17:54):
First round picks can sometimesturn into pretty good players I
don't know, it could be anotherMicah Parsons.
That was a joke, yeah, I don'tknow.
The whole thing was weird Ifyou read into any of that.
Darby Jerry thought he had thedeal with Parsons, but then
(18:16):
Parsons is like you got to runit through my agent and Jerry
got all in a huff because he'slike I thought we had a deal,
why do I need to talk to youragent?
And then his agent is gettingall mad like you shouldn't talk
to my player without talking tothe agent.
Like that's the whole reason wehave agents.
It was like a whole thing andit ended with the last preseason
game.
Darby (18:35):
You even called it out, michael was asleep on the
sideline and I told any of thatthat day I was like, yeah, he's
not gonna be around for long no,he was not, so it was good to
have you here while we did Micah.
Andy (18:49):
Why?
Darby (18:50):
would you send him to a team that just annihilated your
team at the end?
Andy (18:54):
all right, all right.
I don't know he's not a good GM.
That's why he needs to go.
All right, I have an old manyells a cloud here too, I don't
know.
Do you have an old man yells acloud?
All right, we're transitioningfrom the Stay Frosty segment
into the old man yells a cloudsegment.
(19:15):
This is one.
It doesn't have to be sportsrelated.
It's often sports related, butI have one that is not sports
related Traffic signals.
What is going on?
I know my wife just shook herhead.
She doesn't understand wherethis is going.
I'm going to tell you whereit's going.
I don't think we use engineersanymore for traffic signals.
(19:36):
I don't understand the timing.
It's so off Everywhere I go.
I don't know if it's a Mason,westchester, liberty Township
issue and that's just.
You know I drive probably youknow 90% of my ventures are in
those three areas kind of area,the greater Cincinnati area,
(19:57):
let's just say it that way.
I don't understand.
Every time I get on a road Ifeel like I missed the traffic
signal by a few beats and Idon't get it.
Like I just turned right.
Why am I not hitting the nextsignal like I should just move
along and like I don't know?
That just came.
I thought of this the other day.
(20:17):
I forget where we were drivingbut, yeah, we're at main event,
and it took a million hours toget there, and it's not even
that far, and we hit everysingle traffic signal along the
way.
It must have been 15 or 16traffic stops.
We hit every single one of themand it made no sense.
So I'm either the most unluckyperson in the world or this.
(20:39):
They have just totally screwedup all these traffic signals,
and we were on the main road fora lot of that like that should
be the one that's going throughand clearing room or whatever
for all the other side streetsto turn on to it, and we just
stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
I was getting frustrated, andthen we hit it again this
morning.
When we went to the king's millshospital this morning, we hit a
(21:00):
million lights and I was likezooming up to the light and
still not making it through, andpeople in front of me would
stop or whatever.
I'm like, oh my gosh, like wecannot catch a break every time
we turn anywhere.
And then, of course, on the wayhome, though, we did seem to
flow.
Everything flowed our way, butI think, more times than not,
the traffic signals are soscrewed up I think they need to
(21:20):
go back to engineering school orsomething.
Maybe hire some purdueengineers to look into this.
Maybe not too many uc engineers, maybe that's a problem,
perhaps in this area.
So that is my.
Darby (21:35):
Uh old man yells at cloud put in more roundabouts, and it
couldn't be more of an old manthing to complain.
Andy (21:38):
Oh the traffic.
Oh, I get stuck in traffic andI can't.
I.
I work from home so I'm neverin traffic.
But what I am, I gotta complainabout it.
So it was a very old man momentright there.
All right, darby, what do you?
Got one for?
The old man yells at cloud.
Darby (21:54):
Has to be at the NFL ticket.
Oh boy so we paid for all thismoney to watch all the NFL games
, but we cannot watch anypreseason games on the ticket.
It doesn't make any sense to me, and I mean I know that not a
lot of people like to watchpreseason because it's not the
(22:14):
starters.
Even more reason why theyshould just let us watch them,
the viewers.
Andy (22:19):
Yes.
Darby (22:21):
Second.
Nfl ticket complaint is if I'mout of town, I should not be
disallowed to watch the localgame that I reside where my
residence is.
If I am out of town because itblocks it out on the ticket so I
can't watch it, and then, morethan likely, wherever I am is
not going to play it on theirlocal tv, so I have no way to
(22:43):
watch my local team.
We have so many streamingservices that should just depend
on the ip address of yourcurrent location or a new tv in
that location, whatever.
Andy (22:55):
But right, they should tweak it yes and know that
you're in the like fort waynearea or something and that the
colts are on here right, not thebangles.
Yes, yeah, because there aretimes when we travel or whatever
and we miss out on the game.
Darby (23:07):
Because, yeah, it's not on ticket you can't watch it on
a ticket, because it says it'syour local game, but then you
don't have the local cbs right,because our bill comes to a
million dollars, yeah, yeahanyways, that's my, that's my,
yale's a cloud, I think.
Andy (23:20):
I mean, and I totally agree I totally agree with you
on the preseason thing.
Only three games for each team,right?
How hard would that be?
They're recorded, they'reputting them on broadcast, so I
don't know why we can't getaccess to them.
We don't pay this because wegot a discount.
We went through Verizon and dida discount thing on it this
year, but if we had not had adiscount, I looked it up $500
(23:44):
for the ticket this year.
Crazy $500 for 17, 18 days ofgames.
Days yeah.
Darby (23:54):
Days.
Andy (23:55):
You Sunday.
Darby (23:59):
If you do anything on Sunday, you just forfeited
one-eighteenth of what you weredoing.
So every time, like Friday whenthey go play in Brazil, we have
to watch it somewhere else.
Andy (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this Friday's on YouTube.
Darby (24:09):
And then Prime gets them sometime Prime gets them.
Andy (24:11):
Yeah, thursday nights are on other things.
You've got to have a milliondifferent things.
There's one Christmas Day gameor something on Netflix.
The Black Friday game, I think,is on Netflix too.
There's a whole bunch ofdifferent streaming things for
it.
But yeah, if you pay that muchper ticket, it should just get
(24:33):
you all the games.
You shouldn't have to buy allthese sub streaming things.
The nfl makes enough money.
All right, like I said earlier,darby a bit of an nfl expert,
so we are going to do our nflpreview here on the show this
season with her.
We're going to start with thedivision winners for each
division and then we're going togo into who we think is going
to win the conference, and thenwe'll do some Super Bowl winners
(24:54):
and then we'll get to our locksat the end here.
But let's get into thedivisions Now.
I just kind of threw them inorder.
I went in an order that madesense to me.
I started in the east, but thenI went north, then south, then
west.
So I made made sense to me.
I started in the East, but thenI went North, then South, then
West.
So I made like a zigzag.
I don't know if there was abetter way that you could think
of to do it that way, but I juststarted with the NFC and I
(25:16):
started with the East.
I don't know why, but the fourteams in the NFC East, the
Eagles, are minus 140.
Then it's Command, then it'scommanders, cowboys and giants,
with all varying odds, that areplus numbers, right?
So what do you?
Who do you think?
Darby (25:33):
for the east, I'd pick the commanders we're in
alignment.
Andy (25:37):
I also picked the commanders that you can get the
commanders at plus 210.
Now the nfc east I think it'sbeen 17 years since a team
repeated as the champ, even whenthe Giants were winning, like
Super Bowls there and stuff likethat.
The Eagles won two Super Bowlsthere.
There's been, I think for thelast 17 years.
Darby (25:57):
There have been no repeats for division champs, and
this again would be anon-repeat.
Andy (26:02):
Again, not be a repeat.
The Eagles won it last year.
So, yeah, I love that.
I think you get good value withit.
Uh, so yeah, I would definitelybet the commander.
So, okay, we're in alignmentthere now.
We did not talk about theseahead of time either, so I don't
know what she's going to say onsome of these, but I like that.
I'm going to highlight that one, I'm definitely going to bet
that one, and you probably, ifyou're listening hopefully
(26:24):
you're listening before 8.15 onThursday night, because if you
are not, you may get worse oddson this.
Or actually you probably won'tchange too much, because the
Eagles are going to pound theCowboys.
Darby (26:35):
Quick stat the rate of top performers or the commanders
returning this season is 80%from 24, and the Eagles is 72.4%
.
Andy (26:46):
That's really high.
Darby (26:47):
Yeah, there you go.
Andy (26:49):
Whoa, I was going to highlight it.
I don't know how Google Word Ican't seem to get the ink to
work, so I will just make amental note.
Oh, there we go.
Highlight color.
There we go.
All right, now we're going togo to the NFC North.
This is the Packers are thefavorite here, but not by much.
(27:12):
The Packers and I'm a littlesurprised by that, since the
Lions want it so handily.
Darby (27:17):
The Lions is who I picked and I think they have the
Packers up here, or it's listedhere with the better odds
because of Micah Parsons in theMicah Parsons trade.
But people may want to keep atab on his L4, L5 injury because
I think that's going to end upcausing him issues.
Andy (27:37):
Darby coming with the doctor diagnosis here.
Micah Parsons has an injury andit may not be a full health.
Darby (27:46):
Yeah right, so I think they want to do injections for
him to make sure that he'splaying, but I don't know, we'll
see how long that lasts.
Andy (27:55):
So you have the Lions at plus 185.
I am differing from you here.
I am taking the favorite.
I'm taking the Packers at plus170.
I love Micah Parsons.
I think I honestly think thisis going to be the player that
like tips everything for thePackers.
I'm so mad Any other team inthe world would do.
(28:18):
If you ask the Chiefs, theywould gladly trade two
first-round picks for MicahParsons.
If you ask the Eagles,obviously the Cowboys aren't
going to trade him to the Eagles, but they would gladly ship two
first round picks over.
Darby (28:28):
Well, and what they came back and said was that more
teams would have been willing togive more for Micah Parsons.
But I think Jerry was spiteful.
I think he took the Packersstraight and didn't even.
I think it was a spike.
Andy (28:45):
It just makes me so mad, I can't even.
I think it was a spike.
It just makes me so bad I can'teven with this whole thing.
So, yeah, I'm gonna take thePackers, but you're taking the
Lions to win that division.
All right, let's go on to oneof the worst divisions of
football, the NFC South yeahhere too, I'm a.
Baker believer as well, allright, I'm a Baker believer as
(29:08):
well.
I'm a Bake-lever, I don't know.
I tried to combine them thatdidn't work out so well.
But yeah, the Falcons arestarting a rookie quarterback,
the Panthers stink.
The Saints have one of theworst odds to win the division,
at plus 1,800 out of all thedifferent teams.
So yeah, one of the worst oddsto win the division, at plus
(29:28):
1800 out of all the differentteams.
So yeah.
And the saints are alsostarting a guy named spencer
rattler at quarterback.
So uh, yeah, I will gladly takethe bucks there.
So we're in alignment there.
Darby (29:36):
The west nfc west 49ers are the favorite, but you got
the rams cardinals, seahawks allright, they've got defensive
rookie of the year, jerry verse,coming back and I think he's
gonna cause a lot of problemsand I love a good defense, so I
really like the rams here wellthe 49ers have a very good
defense.
They do um.
I think they lost debo, samueland I I think he was one of
(30:00):
their better players and he wentto the commanders right, yeah
left hand up yep, um, so I don'tknow.
I think after they lose linerslost devo and I thought he was a
good weapon and I like thedefense for the rams just a
little bit better than theniners all right, we differ
(30:21):
there.
Andy (30:21):
I'm taking the niners, uh, and that's only because my
season long lock is the ninersover ten and a half wins, and
that's only because my seasonlong lock is the Niners over ten
and a half wins.
So, to go along with my seasonlong lock, I think they also win
the division, and this is a bigif.
You know where I'm going withthis one, probably, if Christian
McCaffrey stays healthy,they'll be incredible.
They he sets the tone, yeah.
(30:43):
So if he's healthy, which is abig if, then I think they win
the division but, the likelihoodthat he's out by week three or
four is very high.
He gets hurt all the time.
Now I don't have him on fantasythis year, so maybe he won't
get hurt did your sister drop?
Darby (31:01):
okay on that, christian McCaffrey she did and her team
name for the listeners here isinjured reserve, because most of
her players get injured.
A lot of her players get likean unusual amount of players
like eight to ten of the peopleshe drafts okay, I got Christian
McCaffrey again this year, sosorry, christian oh no, I think
(31:23):
you got maybe I should havewaited to make my season-long
lock until the draft, so I knewthat she was drafting him.
Andy (31:31):
Oh boy, all right, so we differ there.
So now let's go up to the,let's go to the AFC, let's go to
the AFC East.
Darby (31:40):
I have the Bills.
Andy (31:41):
Bills are the favorite at minus 285.
Not only are they the favoritefor that division, they're the
biggest favorite out of all theteams to win their division.
So, yep, yeah, I'm with you100%.
I can't believe the Patriotsare the second team in there.
I don't know what happened.
What happened to the Dolphins,like?
(32:04):
Why are they so far off?
Darby (32:05):
because it's well what if two.
Andy (32:07):
It doesn't have two fingers in place.
Darby (32:09):
The whole season, yeah, when he has that's what they
call it.
Andy (32:15):
That's what social media calls it.
You didn't know.
It was called that, no oh it'swhen he's laying on his back and
his hands are up.
I'm concussed again.
Darby (32:24):
No, no, I think the.
Andy (32:27):
Dolphins will be decent.
I don't know.
The Tyreek Hill had one of hisworst seasons last year.
There's no way he has thatseason again, right.
So like I think they'll be fine.
I was very confused by that.
If you're gonna go out on alimb and this is a big limb you
could throw a little money onthe Dolphins at plus 800, I
think.
But yeah, I'm taking the billsif I'm gonna bet this one win
(32:49):
the East well, yeah, what JoshAllen gets hurt you think
there's no doubt.
No doubt, this is a stone-coldlock that got all the divisions.
This is the one you have theleast amount of doubt about.
Darby (33:05):
I don't think the bill is serious.
Andy (33:06):
Okay, all right, all right .
You know like we're picking acouple of these, the favorites
or whatever, usually like two orthree teams that made the
playoffs the year before.
Don't make it the next year.
You don't think that's thebills?
(33:29):
Okay, all right.
Too much hard knocks.
They love the.
What you saw on hard knocks,all right.
Uh, I haven't watched any ofthat either.
The afc north, the local regionfor us.
Ravens are the favorite atminus 155, followed by the
bengal steelers brown.
Darby (33:39):
Hi, I'm picking the Ravens.
I really want to say Bengalshere, but I think their
offensive line is just going tocontinue to be a huge issue for
Joe Burrow.
He was ranked last year likenumber five in sacks and I don't
think that's going to getbetter and he's had injuries
(34:01):
over the last few years anywayand I think before they're in
their defense is not good.
I don't like that anymore.
Are they angles defense?
Andy (34:10):
No I don't know.
I've got a bangles expert.
Darby (34:14):
I think their team had when they made it to the Super
Bowl, and I think they've gottena little worse every year since
Ravens.
All right, ravens have learnedsingle 155.
Andy (34:25):
I am going to not pick them, I am picking.
I'm putting on my a, a Rontinfoil hat, and I am going with
the Steelers.
I think it's tremendous valueat plus 525.
Mike Tomlin has never had alosing record as a head coach.
Darby (34:47):
I think Rodgers comes in, but we saw some light on
Rodgers' best play for the Jets.
Okay, it was him running out ofthe locker room with a flag and
that was it.
That was two years ago.
Andy (35:00):
He played some games last year.
It didn't running out of thelocker room with the flag and
that was it.
That was two years ago.
He played some games last year.
It didn't go well last year.
But the Jets are a mess of anorganization.
I think you look at what he didwith the Packers I know it's
been a couple years removed.
He was consistently placingthem in contention for the North
.
They won the North many yearswhen he was there in Green Bay.
I get he's older now but Ithink he's still got enough left
(35:29):
that the Steelers, the Stallers, win the division.
I think this is one.
I circled when he went thereand I said I think this is going
to work out for him.
I love that.
I'm getting it at plus 525.
I may bet it and then bet ittwice on Sunday.
I love this one.
This division always changes.
Who wins it too?
Also, no respect for my boy,joe Flacco, here.
The worst odds to win thedivision the Browns at plus
(35:52):
3,500.
3,500.
You're telling me Flacco can'twin that division.
Get out of here.
I might sprinkle $3 on that.
Maybe I'll put $2 in honor ofthe Powerball.
Darby (36:08):
I'll throw $2.
Flacco had a good team aroundthen.
Maybe he's getting old.
Andy (36:14):
He is old.
I just was surprised that thosewere the odds for them.
Maybe they thought Shador wasstarting.
Maybe that's why the odds wereso bad.
Maybe they need to update itbecause Flacco's in town all
right, the AFC South, anothernot so good division Texans yeah
(36:35):
, I'm boring too.
I'm going Texans.
Yeah, I know, I mean, I don'thave much to say about this.
The Jaguars always.
The dark horse always oh, it'sthe jazz is the Jags here.
Is this a year?
Trevor Lawrence puts ittogether.
Thoughts on on that.
Darby (36:50):
I think they're gonna rename the Jacksonville Jaguars
to the London somethingeventually well, what are the
Colts?
Andy (37:00):
what are the Colts doing this year with Daniel Jones a
quarterback?
What is that?
About nothing.
I just don't like it.
Darby (37:09):
But like you said, the gym or say it could be.
I know one of those miracleyears is their owner just passed
.
Andy (37:18):
That is true, their owner did pass away in between the
seasons.
So yeah, you never know.
With that, I do know that theTitans have no shot at this
division.
Alright, and then the lastdivision we're going to look at
the AFC West, the home of yourBroncos.
What are you thinking?
Darby (37:40):
I'm going to begrudgingly say the Chiefs, I really want
to say the Broncos here.
I think the Travis Kelsey,Taylor Swift wedding
announcement.
I think most or all of thegroomsmen are probably going to
be the refs, for Travis Mahomeswill probably be a redsman, oh
(38:01):
my.
And on a serious note though,the Chiefs won 13 of their
regular season games last yearby three points or less.
Andy (38:10):
Say that standing up.
Darby (38:13):
The Chiefs won 13 of their regular season games by
three points or less in 24.
Of their regular season gamesby three points or less than 24.
And in December they only won10 of their first 13 games by
seven points per year.
So all of their games last yearwere very, very close.
And I don't know, maybe luckisn't in their favor, but I
(38:36):
really want to pick the Broncoshere.
So if I'm wrong, that's finewith me.
Andy (38:40):
Yeah, no, I don't think you're.
I think you're right.
I think the Chiefs a lot ofkarma.
Yeah, you know, they say karmais a cat.
That's Taylor Swift's song line.
In case you're not familiarwith that song Karma, I am not.
This is a Swifty podcast.
Let's remind the viewers thatwe are Swifties here.
No, let's remind the viewersthat we are Swifties here.
(39:02):
No, I'm not.
All right.
Well, you're on a pro-Swiftypodcast.
But yes, I thought theengagement photo was very lovely
, very tastefully done.
Good job, travis and Tay-Tay.
Yeah, I think the Chiefs winthis again.
The Broncos may do it.
It wouldn't surprise me if theBroncos won it, because
sometimes the Chiefs stumble andstruggle a little bit in the
(39:23):
regular season.
They've got to be getting tired.
How many times can they go tothe Super Bowl and win or lose
it in a row before their team isjust exhausted?
Darby (39:33):
I'll say that Denver defense added Barron from Texas
and he didn't allow a singletouchdown in coverage last
season, which is very unusual incollege because it's not a big
defensive college is just notbig defensive teams.
But and then they also kepttheir defensive player of the
year, pat Sertan.
They just signed Bonito to afour-year extension.
(39:57):
I don't know.
I think the Denver's defense isgoing to be really good this
year.
Andy (40:01):
Okay, and any thoughts on the Harbaugh and the Chargers
and Justin air bear any hope atall that they could come up and
win the division.
Darby (40:10):
I think they're gonna be better this year than they have
been in the past few, but IDon't think they're going to be
better than the Chiefs and theBroncos.
Andy (40:17):
Okay, so you still think they finished third in the
division?
Darby (40:20):
Yeah, but it's a good division, I think.
Andy (40:22):
I know, but better, but still, third Geez.
Darby (40:25):
Better yeah.
Andy (40:26):
And no thoughts on Pete Carroll doing it with Vegas, not
this year, not this year.
He's got to get people to know,but he's got Geno.
He used to, wasn't he with Geno?
Darby (40:38):
a little bit before.
All right, not this year forthe Raiders.
Andy (40:46):
Let's talk conference winners.
Did you pick any?
I have the list up on the odds,so we'll give the people the
odds here, if you had any.
Like, who do you think to winthe NFC AFC?
Oh like a Super Bowl matchup.
Darby (40:59):
Super Bowl matchup.
I mean I'd love to see Bill'sLions.
Andy (41:12):
I think I said that last year in the Super.
Darby (41:13):
Bowl.
I'd always love to see theBroncos.
Andy (41:14):
My login expired here.
Let me check what that wouldgive the people at home here.
So if you did bills winning,all right, let me see the bills
are plus 340 and you said theLions plus 650.
(41:34):
So that's yeah, that would be apretty good payday for you
there if you bet those two andthey both happen, and if if you
parlayed them together, it wouldbe even better.
So you think that's the SuperBowl Bills and Lions.
All right, I'm very boring.
I think the Super Bowl is goingto be the Kansas City Chiefs.
(41:54):
I think the NFL will doeverything in their power to
make sure that Taylor Swift isin the Super Bowl this year.
Some have speculated that theymight get married at halftime or
she might be the halftimeperformer more.
But yeah, I think so.
Kansas City, and then, from theNFC, I'm going to take the
Green Bay Packers.
(42:15):
I talked about it earlier withParsons.
I like it.
It yeah, I know you got the eyeroll there from Darby.
They're plus 600, so I likethat.
Take a plus 400 and a plus 600.
Put them together, that's yourSuper Bowl.
That's my prediction.
Who do you have winning theSuper Bowl?
Darby (42:37):
Who did I end up picking the Chiefs?
And who or did I pick theChiefs?
Andy (42:47):
I thought you picked the Bills and the Lions.
Darby (42:50):
Bills and the Lions.
Andy (42:53):
I would say Lions.
All right, I got the Packers.
I like the odds I know, I thinkthe Micah Parsons thing tips it
.
I think that they're at.
What was their number here?
Darby (43:08):
It's so high you probably can't see it.
Andy (43:10):
No, they're one of the favorites.
They're plus 1,300 to win theSuper Bowl.
Okay, did you have anybody?
That was a long shot, like, oh,if you were going to throw a
few bucks on this team.
So the favorites are the ravenseagles bills chiefs, lions
packers those are the favoritesum broncos, bangles, bucks or
vikings okay, wait, broncos, youcould get them at 25 to 1.
(43:35):
That's a good one.
You said bangles 22-1 that's agood one.
You said bangles 22 to 1 buckslong job.
Darby (43:48):
I can't find the bucks.
Hold on 28 to 1 vikings 22 to 1, same as bangles oh, there you
go all right.
Andy (43:53):
All right, um, I talked about it earlier.
I'd give you the stall Stullers.
If you're going to do a longshot, why not go for it?
You know they're due.
They haven't won in a whilesince Big Ben was there, so 45-1
, you can get the odds on theSteelers.
If Rodgers stays healthy, Idon't think it would hurt you to
(44:13):
put a couple bucks on theStullers the bunch of yinzers
going to the Super Bowl andwinning it.
Darby (44:20):
Or a guy that cursed Aaron Rodgers' name a lot.
I'm sure love him and his oldteam.
I told you I got my tinfoil haton.
Andy (44:27):
I took a horse tranquilizer and I got my
tinfoil hat on.
I'll probably be asked to be.
Maybe I'll do a collab with JoeRogan.
We can do cross promotion.
I can bring some people to hispodcast.
Darby (44:42):
He can bring some people to mine.
Stay tuned, I'll have that uptoo.
Andy (44:45):
I don't think he has the number one sports gambling
podcast in Liberty Township, soI could do that, alright, and
then we're going to roll through.
Do you have your phone on you?
I do we're going to roll throughour picks here.
So every week Darby and I pickall the games against the spread
and, uh, we'll just give you aquick overview and have some
thoughts on it, if we have anythoughts.
(45:06):
If not, we'll just tell youwhat we thought for the game.
But it starts with thursdaynight football.
All right, cowboys at theeagles, eagles six and a half
point favorite, darby, who yougot here?
Eagles, there's no doubter.
Right, nothing to say muchthere.
That's.
It's sad but that's gonnahappen.
Friday night we have a Fridaynight game in Brazil Chiefs
three and a half favorites atChargers, but not really at
(45:28):
Chargers because it's in Brazil.
Cheese.
Yeah, chiefs as well.
I don't think air bear does it,but you had a stat there,
though, earlier about the Chiefs, how many three-point games
they had, so that technicallywouldn't cover if they won by
three.
That's true uh, and then Sunday,starting our slate, we got
minus one and a half theBuccaneers at Falcons, bucs,
(45:48):
bucs, uh, yeah, I don't havemuch to say about that one right
now.
Uh, bengals minus five and ahalf at the Browns.
Darby (45:57):
I picked Bengals, but the Browns do have a tendency to be
the one like one of the fewwins against the Bengals, and
that's why I took Browns plus5.5.
Andy (46:06):
I think you catch Flacco early.
He's been resting all summerlong.
You got a young knee Flaccothere, or whatever, in his first
game back, so I like them there.
That's the difference, I think.
Dolphins plus 1 a half at Colts.
I also have dolphins.
Daniel Jones stinks.
I don't want to take the Coltsto win any games this year.
(46:28):
Panthers plus two and a half atJacksonville.
Darby (46:33):
Jacksonville.
Andy (46:34):
I also took Jacksonville that I don't trust the Panthers,
especially on the road.
Darby (46:39):
Uh raiders readers plus three and a half.
Andy (46:42):
Now this is a west coast team traveling east.
That's fine.
You still want the raiders,plus three and a half I like the
raiders I too picked that.
Yeah, I like the raiders theretoo.
What do you got for cardinalsminus five and a half at saints
cardinals, yes, cardinals big, Ithink they roll them there.
Sp Spencer Rattler, the Saintsare going to be hard to watch
(47:06):
this year.
Steelers minus three and a halfat the Jets.
Steelers and the Steelers thereas well.
Jets, another team that will behard to watch.
Giants, another team hard towatch.
Six and a half point underdogsat Commanders.
Yep same Titans 7.5 pointunderdog at Denver.
(47:28):
I picked the Broncos that's ourfirst 4 o'clock game good luck,
Cam Ward.
I think the Broncos roll inthere.
No doubt in my mind, Sunday 4o'clock again 49ers minus 2.5 at
the Seahawks 49ers yep, same49ers boy.
We have a lot the same thisweek Lions plus one and a half
(47:49):
at.
Green Bay I picked the Lions aswell.
Darby (47:53):
I thought you wanted Green Bay all day.
Andy (47:57):
I did just pick Green Bay to win the Super Bowl but that's
sometimes the inconsistenciesthat you'll get with gambling
and stuff.
I do think Green Bay, but Ithink the Lions the way they
lost in the playoffs last year,I think they're going to come
out and whoop, I think they'llbeat the Packers.
So, yeah, I would take them.
We took them plus one and ahalf in our little gambling
group thing app, but I wouldtake them just money line to win
(48:19):
Tex half in our little gamblinggroup thing app, but I would
take them just money line to wintexans plus two and a half at
the rams.
I think the rams.
See, this is where we differ.
I took the texans, I I don'tknow stafford early in the
season, though the rams.
I'm gonna keep my texans pick,but I don't mind.
This is what I debated quite abit before I could make my
decision.
There's only a few games thisweek where I really sat and was
(48:40):
like, oh, I don't know,flip-flop, flip-flop.
Yeah, uh, sunday night footballravens plus one and a half, add
the bills I did make the ravenshere quote the derby nevermore
that's right no, I got the bills.
Nobody.
Nobody circles the wagons likethe buffalo bills.
I think the bills circles thewagons like the Buffalo Bills.
(49:06):
I think the bills beat theRavens, I yeah.
And then Monday Night FootballVikings minus one and a half at
the bears Vikings yeah, no oneand a half.
They must not trust JJ McCarthywell, he's new so okay, caleb
Williams was new last year.
He was terrible, terrible,terrible, terrible, terrible.
He did go back.
I saw I don't know if there's afake news article or not he did
go back to painting his nails.
Darby (49:27):
This off season, so maybe go in the first round when he
got drafted yes, yes.
Andy (49:33):
So caleb williams, with the finger paint on his nails
again.
You like that or no?
Darby (49:42):
paint on his nails again.
You like that, or?
Andy (49:43):
no, you don't think that helps him.
I don't.
I like the vikings.
I do too.
All right, so that's it forevery single game we just gave
you there.
Um, oh, season long locks.
Since we're starting the seasonoff, where the gambling group
always does these, I uh, withthe help of my wife here, I came
up with the 49ers over 10 and ahalf.
That's my season long lock.
Some of the other nfl ones andwe talked about on the podcast
(50:06):
last week.
Greg gave us under eight and ahalf wins for the bears.
Mike, uncle mike gave usvikings over eight and a half
wins.
I like that one too.
What do you think of that one?
Oh, my god and then Ethan gaveus bangles under nine and a half
wins.
What do you think of that?
Darby (50:27):
I Think it's gonna depend on a lot on their offensive
line bangles.
Offensive line, joe can't Imean constantly scramble out of
the pocket.
Andy (50:38):
But so you think they could go on that if their?
Darby (50:41):
offensive line is.
As bad as they might be, theymight go under nine, okay, I
don't know.
Andy (50:48):
I didn't like that one, so I stayed away from the bangles.
I couldn't decide.
I think they said that right atwhere it needs to be, nine and
a half, so I didn't want to goup or down on that.
He's very confident though, so,uh, and then, as far as lock of
the week, the gambling group, Ionly have the one so far.
Steve gave us Iowa at IowaState minus three.
Now, listen, I like it, I loveit.
(51:09):
I want some more of it.
I did a little anti Iowa parlaylast week.
I'm trying to find it here forthe people.
There was a lot of promotionaldeals or whatever.
So I sat down and cooked up inthe lab a little anti-Iowa
parlay of the weekend.
(51:29):
They were playing theUniversity of Albany, the Great
Danes, and I picked sixdifferent things.
I picked the Albany spread plus38.5.
Iowa doesn't score points, so38.5.
Immediately I was like this issuspicious Under total points of
(51:52):
49.5, again, iowa doesn't scorepoints.
First half under of 27 and ahalf total points.
Albany spread at halftime 21and a half Total points in the
first quarter under 10 and ahalf.
And Albany spread first quarterplus eight and a half.
(52:13):
I parlayed all those thingstogether and I got paid.
It was a pretty good payday.
I think it was five to one.
It paid out.
So I hit that little parlay.
I might put together a littleanti-Iowa parlay for this
weekend.
They still stink.
I don't think they score at all.
(52:33):
So if you're looking to do someunders and stuff, iowa is
always attractive for that.
But yeah, I like that.
Steve, that's a good lock.
I think Iowa State wins by morethan three and then that's it.
So my lock this week oh, laneywanted something to say there on
the podcast.
I'm giving you for my lock ofthe week.
(52:54):
I'm giving you the Tampa BayBuccaneers minus two.
On the road in Hotlanta thereare going to be four rookies
starting in Atlanta this year onboth sides of the ball.
A total of four players thatare rookies.
Give me experience in game oneof the year.
I like Baker Mayfield.
(53:15):
I'm a believer in Baker.
Michael Penix Jr, you playedquarterback at IU.
All right, you're not an NFLstarter.
I'm sorry, it's just math.
I don't like quarterbacks outof Indiana University not a
football school, not aquarterback school.
No, I'm going to take Bakerminus two over an IU quarterback
(53:37):
all days and twice on Sunday.
That is my lock of the weekTampa Bay Buccaneers minus two.
I like it.
Darby (53:43):
I'm going to take the Lions over Packers Plus one and
a half.
Lions are plus one and a half.
Andy (53:50):
Lions over Packers.
Yeah, that's your lock.
Darby (53:53):
Yeah, Lions are plus one and a half.
Andy (53:55):
Oh my, that's one I flip-flopped on and you're
saying, no flip-flop, that'syour lock of the week.
Wow, lock it in.
All right.
Any parting thoughts for thepeople this week?
Nothing, just good luckgambling.
Just good luck gambling.
There you go.
Darby (54:12):
Gamble responsibly.
Andy (54:13):
Oh, always gamble responsibly.
That's going to do it for theshow this week.
We got the dog picks coming upon Tik TOK this weekend and look
for us on Tik TOK at TSSgambling.
Our Twitter handle, also at TSSgambling very unique, different
code there.
So, yeah, that's it.
You'll find this anywhere youcan find podcasts.
So thanks everybody forlistening and good luck gambling
(54:36):
.
Darby (54:59):
Thanks everybody, thank you.
Hey everybody.
Today is Thursday, september4th and the NFL season is here.
It's Thursday, thursday night.
Football is on.
Tonight.
I got my Cowboys on, eventhough I'm not super excited
about them this season.
But we'll get into all thatlater.
I want to just get to ourspecial guest for this week.
(00:39):
We have, for the first timeever, a new guest to the podcast
.
This week I have invited theone and only my wife, darby
Royst, here.
Darby (00:51):
Hi everybody.
Andy (00:52):
Now Darby, would you consider yourself an expert
gambler?
Darby (00:56):
Absolutely not.
Andy (00:57):
Absolutely not.
Would you consider yourself acasual gambler?
Darby (01:02):
No.
Andy (01:03):
Absolutely not, absolutely not.
Yourself a casual gambler?
No, absolutely not.
But do you consider yourself anexpert in all things?
Darby (01:09):
nfl I wouldn't say expert , but I'm I know my staff pretty
well.
Andy (01:14):
I think, listen, this is a podcast where we try to toot
our own horn, here.
So then, yes I'm the best.
We're first off.
You're on the number one sportsgambling podcast in liberty
township.
I don't know if you knew thator not.
We are consistently rankednumber one in Liberty Township
gambling podcast, so welcome tothe show.
But yeah, you love the NFL.
(01:36):
Who's your favorite team?
Darby (01:37):
The Denver Broncos.
Andy (01:39):
That's right, and what was I going to ask?
So you don't really gamble alot, but you are the current
fantasy football champion Isthat correct, that's correct.
And how many times have you wonfantasy football leagues?
Rough guess.
Overall so many that you can'teven remember.
(01:59):
Huh, it's that many.
Darby (02:00):
With um.
Andy (02:02):
Just in general.
Darby (02:02):
Maybe five.
Andy (02:03):
Five time, five time Fantasy football champ in the
building here today and it knowsquite a lot about nfl, uh,
follows it, watches all thegames.
So knows her stuff here on thenfl.
So we are digging deep into ourbag of tricks this year.
Season four of the sportsbooksharps and I thought who better
(02:26):
to do an nfl preview thansomebody that won the fantasy
football league last year hasconsistently beat me in fantasy
football and I know that doesn'ttranslate one-to-one with
gambling, but you know who aregood players, you know who are
good teams, things like that.
So even if you don't know likewho's a better line jacksonville
minus three and a half oratlanta plus two or whatever
(02:48):
that kind of stuff you still cangive some advice on it.
And last year for the firsttime you did was that the first
year or is that the second year?
We did it.
Darby (02:56):
We did that picks league oh, I think that was the second
year.
That was the second year.
Andy (03:01):
Okay, so you are every week making every single game,
picking it against the spread,that's true.
So that's a lot more than I cansay for other gamblers.
Now, I don't advocate thateverybody spend money gambling
on every single game every week.
You'd be in the poor houseprobably.
Uh, the way it went.
I think I would have been alittle ahead, and I think you
would have been ahead too, if webet like ten dollars each time.
(03:23):
Uh, we were slightly ahead lastyear.
I don't remember the first yearthat we did it, but uh yeah uh,
and you can't be any worse thanour gambling group.
So we have a gambling group ofeight here on the podcast.
Uh, last week, three and fivethe gambling group went.
We lost money big time.
(03:44):
So, absolutely terrible startto the season.
John steve and I hit our locks.
Uh, most of the locks were atleast close, uh, with the
exception of one, uh, boisestate lock from uncle mike.
That was terrible.
They got blown out.
That game was awful and it wasone of those oddball times
because they were kicking offthe season.
(04:05):
It was at 5.30 Eastern onThursday last week, so it was
like the only game on and theyjust got drilled.
So, speaking of blowouts,though, I wanted to spend a few
seconds on your boy, billBelichick.
He moved.
He's in the college game now.
If you missed it, in theoffseason Belichick left the NFL
(04:27):
and moved on to GreenerPastures in North Carolina.
He is the current UNC Tar Heelshead coach and they got blown
out.
I think it was what 48 to 14 orsomething like that.
It was pretty bad.
Darby (04:46):
It was the age gap of him and his girlfriend, 30.
Andy (04:48):
it was smaller than that, wasn't it?
Darby (04:50):
no, it was the exact age gap it was the four years, was
it?
Andy (04:54):
I thought the age gap was bigger no that can't be right.
She's 24.
24 plus 34.
Darby (05:06):
44?
Andy (05:09):
No, that doesn't make sense.
Yeah, no, I think you read somefake news on that.
I think, there's almost a47-year gap.
Darby (05:17):
It was 41 to 7, and that was their age gap.
Maybe that's what?
Andy (05:22):
Oh, okay, during the game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, maybethat was it.
I can't remember, detailsaren't important.
All we know is bill belichick.
Uh, my favorite thing aboutthis well, two things about this
game was my favorite one.
Everybody on social media thattar heels went up seven nothing.
I know you weren't watching thegame, but they, they went up
seven, nothing, everybody.
(05:43):
And their brother got theirtwitter fingers out and was oh,
this is why bill bella checks agenius.
Bill bella check this.
And it's funny because asyou're scrolling through it
later in the game, sometimestwitter's out of order now, so
those things pop up when thegame's like 34 to seven at
halftime and stuff like that.
So you're reading it and you'reseeing some of these talking
(06:05):
heads on the sports channelsaying that this is exactly what
they expected and this, that.
And I'm reading it as I'mwatching them down 34 and seven
and I'm like, oh, oh, this wasfrom an hour ago, okay, so they
went up seven, nothing.
Everybody went to Twitter andthen they did not score again
until very late in the game theymade they got 14.
I think it was 48-14 was thefinal score.
(06:25):
It was just dreadful.
But then the other funny thing,as we talked about the
71-year-old I think that's hisage, 71, bill Belichick is
dating a 24-year-old and she wason the sideline during the game
.
I don't know if you saw that onsocial media, but they clips of
it where she like walks up tohim during the game and says
(06:46):
something to him and then kindof walks away and people were
going wild on social media withthat she's probably making sure
she was still getting freetuition right, exactly, a lot of
people have talked about hersorority and like how bill had
goes to the sorority parties,all these different things, like
just a bunch of jokes.
I don't think she's actuallyenrolled at unc, but the jokes
are there and, uh, it's a weird,very weird relationship.
(07:10):
So, uh, yeah, I just wanted tobring that up and uh, if you're
thinking about betting on unc,maybe don't do it.
They did not look prepared atall.
I think belichick's probablyjust mailing it in and getting
this paycheck.
But we will see about that.
Mailing it in and getting thispaycheck, but we will see about
that.
All right, I just want to talkreal quick about the two biggest
college games Texas at OSU,clemson at LSU.
(07:37):
They both won by seven, the twoteams, but ESPN, in their bout
of genius, they had multiplepeople voting for LSU ahead of
Ohio State as the number oneteam in all the land.
Now, I don't get it.
I get OSU was at home and theyonly scored 14 points or
whatever, but they won by seven,same as LSU did, and LSU didn't
(07:58):
score that many more points.
They scored 17.
So if you beat the number oneteam, you should get all the
votes for number one if you'rethe number one team, you should
get all the votes for number one.
If you're that close, like ifit's a big upset, if it's like
number 24 beats number one, whatI get the vote splitting,
whatever.
But when you're the numberthree team and you take care of
business and beat them assoundly as they did I know 14 to
(08:18):
seven doesn't sound like it wassoundly that game was never
really in doubt.
Arch Manning looked terrible atquarterback.
He did not look like a Manning,it was terrible.
He was throwing it like weirdsidearm throws, all sorts of
stuff.
So ESPN, get your stuffstraight.
And OSU is clearly the numberone team until they lose a game
(08:41):
Like that's ridiculous that youwould even think LSU is better.
We don't know anything aboutthis Clemson team, if they're
going to be any good or not.
So that's just crazy.
I think that's so flawed.
I just wanted to talk aboutthat.
And then, lastly, the one thingI wanted to talk about from a
gambling perspective the LeeCorso sendoff, of course,
famously on college game day.
(09:02):
He retired after this weekendand I didn't even think about
this until I started to see itlater in the day, but he made
six picks on college game day.
He famously Darby's looking atme like I'm not 100% who this
Lee Corso guy is.
She knows who Lee Corso is, butshe doesn't watch college game
day every Saturday like I do.
I don't know how dumb am I fornot thinking of this.
(09:26):
All six of his picks.
I should have bet them allfirst off and then I also should
have bundled them up into aparlay and bet it, because the
football gods always smile onthings like this.
All six games cover or won, sohe picks just who's going to win
the game.
All six of them.
And then the headgear pick.
For his 431st headgear pick hepicked Brutus the Buckeye, ohio
(09:51):
State's mascot.
He was 287 and 144 all-time inheadgear picks.
So yeah, next time somebody bigretires like that.
Just a mental note for yourselfIf they're an analyst or
something and they're pickinggames, you should probably bet
the games that they're doing.
So but yeah, congrats to LeeCorso in his retirement.
(10:11):
I think he's 90 or 91 years old.
So a couple of NFL rule changes.
All right, we're done withcollege for now we're going to
jump into the NFL.
Just some really minor changeshere.
Darby, overtime possession rulechange I don't even know if you
remember they were different.
The NFL has a problem with someof their rules.
(10:32):
They always had to flash themup and stuff.
But in playoff overtime bothteams were guaranteed the ball,
even if somebody scored atouchdown In regular overtime.
In the regular season thatwasn't the case, so the first
team that got the ball went downand got a touchdown.
The game was over and so theyended up changing that.
(10:54):
So now the regular season, ifthe team gets the ball, goes
down and scores a touchdown, theother team still gets one shot
at it to try and tie it up witha touchdown.
There was actually 16 overtimegames last year.
I was surprised by that.
I didn't expect there to bethat many.
Some replay changes.
I don't know what do you thinkabout this.
(11:16):
One Darby Replay official cannow overturn penalties like a
face mask, a horse collartripping or hits to the head.
Darby (11:27):
Don't you think this is just going to open it up to a
lot of interpretation.
It is so.
That doesn't include challengeslike it used to with the whole
Saints debacle where they threwa challenge.
Andy (11:37):
Oh for yeah, what was that in the end zone?
They called something.
Darby (11:40):
It was a playoff game.
Andy (11:41):
It was holding.
Darby (11:42):
No, it would have been pass interference, pass
interference.
Andy (11:44):
They didn't call it.
Darby (11:45):
They did not call it, so they're not going to throw the
challenge flag now for these.
It's just that they're not no,no, no.
Andy (11:51):
This is overturning of penalties.
Darby (11:54):
That's what I'm asking.
The coaches are not going tothrow a challenge flag.
Andy (12:09):
New York is going to come down and say you need to review
this for these they still havechallenge flags.
Oh, I know they still have,okay, okay.
But I'm asking specificallyabout yes.
Yes, new York can come in andsay hey, that that didn't look
like a face mask, we need tolook at it again.
It's only on assessed penalties.
So right now, like you know,this happens every Sunday.
They call a face mask penaltyand then they slow it down and
show the replay Guy isn'tanywhere near the face mask, the
guy's head just turned orwhatever, and you're like oh,
(12:29):
they can't review a penalty, sonow they can.
Darby (12:33):
I feel like there's more missed calls than there are.
Andy (12:36):
I agree, I agree, but you're not going to look at the
missed ones.
So now, when you see the facemask or whatever mask or
whatever, you can't review that,right.
So I don't think this reallychanges.
That's a good point.
So now that they know, it canbe reviewed, or they're gonna
just start popping flags offright there, right, we're gonna
(12:57):
end up with four hour, five hourgames, hmm.
And then this other thing, theHawkeye technology.
Hd cameras are used todetermine the ball's location
for first downs replacing thechain crew.
Any thoughts on this one?
Darby (13:11):
I like the chain crew.
I don't like that they're doingthe Hawkeye thing.
Andy (13:14):
I don't like this at all.
The chain crew will still bethere, kind of as like what do
you call it?
Like sentimental reasons, likethey're not really there, like
if something goes wrong with theHawkeye thing, they're still
there, but they'll be on thesidelines, so players will still
be running over them and stufflike that that we're accustomed
to, but now the first downs aregonna be spotted.
(13:34):
I mean, that's something Ididn't even notice.
They were doing it in thepreseason, but I didn't notice
it why didn't either?
I had no idea, so maybe we won'teven notice it, but I like the
chain gang too.
Darby (13:45):
I'm a little sad that they're being this place, the
guy that makes sure Sean McVeighdoesn't run into that, the
chain crew, the hold back guy.
Andy (13:54):
I don't know.
Yeah, are they costing otherjobs?
Yeah, we're losing.
Hold back guys, I don't know.
Beats me all right.
That's it for the rule changes.
Not a lot of rule changes.
This year they did want to banthe tush push I don't remember
if you saw that, but that didnot pass as a vote.
Now we're going to move intoour stay frosty segment.
(14:16):
Now, darby, did you make a stayfrosty?
Do you have anybody you want tostay frosty?
Oh, she's looking at me.
I will go first.
So stay frosty.
For the newer viewers here, thisis our like hot seat.
Who's a?
What head coach or GM orsomebody's on the hot seat?
So I'm gonna put up Alabamacoach Kalen DeBoer.
He just got absolutelydemolished at FSU last weekend
(14:40):
after going nine and four in hisfirst year.
They're starting the season inAlabama 0-1.
Now their upcoming two games.
They have LA, louisiana, monroeand Wisconsin.
So they're probably going to go2-1.
But I think I looked ahead attheir schedule.
I think they lose at Georgia.
I think they lose at USC.
(15:02):
I think they lose LSU game athome.
I think they lose at Tennesseeat home and I think, maybe,
maybe they lose to Oklahoma.
I think they lose LSU game athome.
I think they lose the Tennesseeat home and I think, maybe,
maybe they lose to Oklahoma.
We'll see Oklahoma sometimesfake good the Okies.
So we'll see Sooners theSooners.
Oklahoma plays Michigan thisweekend, so we'll get a good
idea if that Oklahoma team's anygood.
(15:22):
But this could be a 6-6 yearfor Alabama.
If they go 6-6, he's fired.
There's no way they're going tolet that happen in Alabama.
Nick Saban won six titles withBama and his worst season was
his very first season in 2007.
They went 7-6 that year.
After that, he never lost fourgames in the 17 seasons.
(15:43):
He was there as a head coach.
After that, he never lost fourgames in the 17 seasons.
He was there as a head coach.
So that is why I am puttingAlabama head coach Kalen DeBoer
up on Stay Frosty, stay Frosty,kalen.
All right, darby.
Darby (15:57):
Now let's hear it.
My Stay Frosty is Jerry Jones.
Andy (16:02):
Oh no.
Darby (16:09):
Jerry Jones is the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and I'm
putting him on the hot seatbecause of this old Micah
Parsons debacle.
So Micah Parsons, he's just agreat player.
He's going to be in the hall offame and Jerry Jones is acting
like it was.
You know he is literal say.
Our reasoning was that it wassimply numbers.
(16:29):
So, on my safe Rossi, I decidedto give him a few numbers to
consider he has only made fourplayoff appearances since 2000
the year 2000 there's.
It's been 30 years since theywon their last Super Bowl win.
And then I mean, can we countthe number of angry fans there's
going to be?
(16:50):
There's too many to count.
Andy (16:51):
Too many what.
Darby (16:51):
Too many to count of angry fans.
Andy (16:53):
Angry fans oh yeah.
Darby (16:55):
That whole situation was not handled well and Michael
Parsons I'm sorry was justtotally disrespected and the
whole thing.
But I think Jerry Jones hasruns his team from top to bottom
and he's a micro manager andhis number of I mean just errors
in the whole Michael Parsonssituation is awful and so I'm
(17:17):
putting him on the hot seatbecause or I'm sorry- the stay
frosty because I think untilJerry Jones is gone, I just do
not see the Cowboys doinganything, because he makes all
the decisions.
Andy (17:30):
That's fair.
That's very fair, State Frosty.
Darby (17:33):
Sorry, Cowboys fans.
Andy (17:34):
No, that's fine.
Cowboys fans will tell you heneeds the State Frosty.
Yeah, no, I'm fine with that.
The Micah Parsons thing is veryupsetting.
That, that's the Micah Parsonsthing is very upsetting.
Two first round picks in thefuture, but I just you give it
to Green Bay Two first roundpicks for Micah Parsons though.
(17:54):
First round picks can sometimesturn into pretty good players I
don't know, it could be anotherMicah Parsons.
That was a joke, yeah, I don'tknow.
The whole thing was weird Ifyou read into any of that.
Darby Jerry thought he had thedeal with Parsons, but then
(18:16):
Parsons is like you got to runit through my agent and Jerry
got all in a huff because he'slike I thought we had a deal,
why do I need to talk to youragent?
And then his agent is gettingall mad like you shouldn't talk
to my player without talking tothe agent.
Like that's the whole reason wehave agents.
It was like a whole thing andit ended with the last preseason
game.
Darby (18:35):
You even called it out, michael was asleep on the
sideline and I told any of thatthat day I was like, yeah, he's
not gonna be around for long no,he was not, so it was good to
have you here while we did Micah.
Andy (18:49):
Why?
Darby (18:50):
would you send him to a team that just annihilated your
team at the end?
Andy (18:54):
all right, all right.
I don't know he's not a good GM.
That's why he needs to go.
All right, I have an old manyells a cloud here too, I don't
know.
Do you have an old man yells acloud?
All right, we're transitioningfrom the Stay Frosty segment
into the old man yells a cloudsegment.
(19:15):
This is one.
It doesn't have to be sportsrelated.
It's often sports related, butI have one that is not sports
related Traffic signals.
What is going on?
I know my wife just shook herhead.
She doesn't understand wherethis is going.
I'm going to tell you whereit's going.
I don't think we use engineersanymore for traffic signals.
(19:36):
I don't understand the timing.
It's so off Everywhere I go.
I don't know if it's a Mason,westchester, liberty Township
issue and that's just.
You know I drive probably youknow 90% of my ventures are in
those three areas kind of area,the greater Cincinnati area,
(19:57):
let's just say it that way.
I don't understand.
Every time I get on a road Ifeel like I missed the traffic
signal by a few beats and Idon't get it.
Like I just turned right.
Why am I not hitting the nextsignal like I should just move
along and like I don't know?
That just came.
I thought of this the other day.
(20:17):
I forget where we were drivingbut, yeah, we're at main event,
and it took a million hours toget there, and it's not even
that far, and we hit everysingle traffic signal along the
way.
It must have been 15 or 16traffic stops.
We hit every single one of themand it made no sense.
So I'm either the most unluckyperson in the world or this.
(20:39):
They have just totally screwedup all these traffic signals,
and we were on the main road fora lot of that like that should
be the one that's going throughand clearing room or whatever
for all the other side streetsto turn on to it, and we just
stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
I was getting frustrated, andthen we hit it again this
morning.
When we went to the king's millshospital this morning, we hit a
(21:00):
million lights and I was likezooming up to the light and
still not making it through, andpeople in front of me would
stop or whatever.
I'm like, oh my gosh, like wecannot catch a break every time
we turn anywhere.
And then, of course, on the wayhome, though, we did seem to
flow.
Everything flowed our way, butI think, more times than not,
the traffic signals are soscrewed up I think they need to
(21:20):
go back to engineering school orsomething.
Maybe hire some purdueengineers to look into this.
Maybe not too many uc engineers, maybe that's a problem,
perhaps in this area.
So that is my.
Darby (21:35):
Uh old man yells at cloud put in more roundabouts, and it
couldn't be more of an old manthing to complain.
Andy (21:38):
Oh the traffic.
Oh, I get stuck in traffic andI can't.
I.
I work from home so I'm neverin traffic.
But what I am, I gotta complainabout it.
So it was a very old man momentright there.
All right, darby, what do you?
Got one for?
The old man yells at cloud.
Darby (21:54):
Has to be at the NFL ticket.
Oh boy so we paid for all thismoney to watch all the NFL games
, but we cannot watch anypreseason games on the ticket.
It doesn't make any sense to me, and I mean I know that not a
lot of people like to watchpreseason because it's not the
(22:14):
starters.
Even more reason why theyshould just let us watch them,
the viewers.
Andy (22:19):
Yes.
Darby (22:21):
Second.
Nfl ticket complaint is if I'mout of town, I should not be
disallowed to watch the localgame that I reside where my
residence is.
If I am out of town because itblocks it out on the ticket so I
can't watch it, and then, morethan likely, wherever I am is
not going to play it on theirlocal tv, so I have no way to
(22:43):
watch my local team.
We have so many streamingservices that should just depend
on the ip address of yourcurrent location or a new tv in
that location, whatever.
Andy (22:55):
But right, they should tweak it yes and know that
you're in the like fort waynearea or something and that the
colts are on here right, not thebangles.
Yes, yeah, because there aretimes when we travel or whatever
and we miss out on the game.
Darby (23:07):
Because, yeah, it's not on ticket you can't watch it on
a ticket, because it says it'syour local game, but then you
don't have the local cbs right,because our bill comes to a
million dollars, yeah, yeahanyways, that's my, that's my,
yale's a cloud, I think.
Andy (23:20):
I mean, and I totally agree I totally agree with you
on the preseason thing.
Only three games for each team,right?
How hard would that be?
They're recorded, they'reputting them on broadcast, so I
don't know why we can't getaccess to them.
We don't pay this because wegot a discount.
We went through Verizon and dida discount thing on it this
year, but if we had not had adiscount, I looked it up $500
(23:44):
for the ticket this year.
Crazy $500 for 17, 18 days ofgames.
Days yeah.
Darby (23:54):
Days.
Andy (23:55):
You Sunday.
Darby (23:59):
If you do anything on Sunday, you just forfeited
one-eighteenth of what you weredoing.
So every time, like Friday whenthey go play in Brazil, we have
to watch it somewhere else.
Andy (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this Friday's on YouTube.
Darby (24:09):
And then Prime gets them sometime Prime gets them.
Andy (24:11):
Yeah, thursday nights are on other things.
You've got to have a milliondifferent things.
There's one Christmas Day gameor something on Netflix.
The Black Friday game, I think,is on Netflix too.
There's a whole bunch ofdifferent streaming things for
it.
But yeah, if you pay that muchper ticket, it should just get
(24:33):
you all the games.
You shouldn't have to buy allthese sub streaming things.
The nfl makes enough money.
All right, like I said earlier,darby a bit of an nfl expert,
so we are going to do our nflpreview here on the show this
season with her.
We're going to start with thedivision winners for each
division and then we're going togo into who we think is going
to win the conference, and thenwe'll do some Super Bowl winners
(24:54):
and then we'll get to our locksat the end here.
But let's get into thedivisions Now.
I just kind of threw them inorder.
I went in an order that madesense to me.
I started in the east, but thenI went north, then south, then
west.
So I made made sense to me.
I started in the East, but thenI went North, then South, then
West.
So I made like a zigzag.
I don't know if there was abetter way that you could think
of to do it that way, but I juststarted with the NFC and I
(25:16):
started with the East.
I don't know why, but the fourteams in the NFC East, the
Eagles, are minus 140.
Then it's Command, then it'scommanders, cowboys and giants,
with all varying odds, that areplus numbers, right?
So what do you?
Who do you think?
Darby (25:33):
for the east, I'd pick the commanders we're in
alignment.
Andy (25:37):
I also picked the commanders that you can get the
commanders at plus 210.
Now the nfc east I think it'sbeen 17 years since a team
repeated as the champ, even whenthe Giants were winning, like
Super Bowls there and stuff likethat.
The Eagles won two Super Bowlsthere.
There's been, I think for thelast 17 years.
Darby (25:57):
There have been no repeats for division champs, and
this again would be anon-repeat.
Andy (26:02):
Again, not be a repeat.
The Eagles won it last year.
So, yeah, I love that.
I think you get good value withit.
Uh, so yeah, I would definitelybet the commander.
So, okay, we're in alignmentthere now.
We did not talk about theseahead of time either, so I don't
know what she's going to say onsome of these, but I like that.
I'm going to highlight that one, I'm definitely going to bet
that one, and you probably, ifyou're listening hopefully
(26:24):
you're listening before 8.15 onThursday night, because if you
are not, you may get worse oddson this.
Or actually you probably won'tchange too much, because the
Eagles are going to pound theCowboys.
Darby (26:35):
Quick stat the rate of top performers or the commanders
returning this season is 80%from 24, and the Eagles is 72.4%
.
Andy (26:46):
That's really high.
Darby (26:47):
Yeah, there you go.
Andy (26:49):
Whoa, I was going to highlight it.
I don't know how Google Word Ican't seem to get the ink to
work, so I will just make amental note.
Oh, there we go.
Highlight color.
There we go.
All right, now we're going togo to the NFC North.
This is the Packers are thefavorite here, but not by much.
(27:12):
The Packers and I'm a littlesurprised by that, since the
Lions want it so handily.
Darby (27:17):
The Lions is who I picked and I think they have the
Packers up here, or it's listedhere with the better odds
because of Micah Parsons in theMicah Parsons trade.
But people may want to keep atab on his L4, L5 injury because
I think that's going to end upcausing him issues.
Andy (27:37):
Darby coming with the doctor diagnosis here.
Micah Parsons has an injury andit may not be a full health.
Darby (27:46):
Yeah right, so I think they want to do injections for
him to make sure that he'splaying, but I don't know, we'll
see how long that lasts.
Andy (27:55):
So you have the Lions at plus 185.
I am differing from you here.
I am taking the favorite.
I'm taking the Packers at plus170.
I love Micah Parsons.
I think I honestly think thisis going to be the player that
like tips everything for thePackers.
I'm so mad Any other team inthe world would do.
(28:18):
If you ask the Chiefs, theywould gladly trade two
first-round picks for MicahParsons.
If you ask the Eagles,obviously the Cowboys aren't
going to trade him to the Eagles, but they would gladly ship two
first round picks over.
Darby (28:28):
Well, and what they came back and said was that more
teams would have been willing togive more for Micah Parsons.
But I think Jerry was spiteful.
I think he took the Packersstraight and didn't even.
I think it was a spike.
Andy (28:45):
It just makes me so mad, I can't even.
I think it was a spike.
It just makes me so bad I can'teven with this whole thing.
So, yeah, I'm gonna take thePackers, but you're taking the
Lions to win that division.
All right, let's go on to oneof the worst divisions of
football, the NFC South yeahhere too, I'm a.
Baker believer as well, allright, I'm a Baker believer as
(29:08):
well.
I'm a Bake-lever, I don't know.
I tried to combine them thatdidn't work out so well.
But yeah, the Falcons arestarting a rookie quarterback,
the Panthers stink.
The Saints have one of theworst odds to win the division,
at plus 1,800 out of all thedifferent teams.
So yeah, one of the worst oddsto win the division, at plus
(29:28):
1800 out of all the differentteams.
So yeah.
And the saints are alsostarting a guy named spencer
rattler at quarterback.
So uh, yeah, I will gladly takethe bucks there.
So we're in alignment there.
Darby (29:36):
The west nfc west 49ers are the favorite, but you got
the rams cardinals, seahawks allright, they've got defensive
rookie of the year, jerry verse,coming back and I think he's
gonna cause a lot of problemsand I love a good defense, so I
really like the rams here wellthe 49ers have a very good
defense.
They do um.
I think they lost debo, samueland I I think he was one of
(30:00):
their better players and he wentto the commanders right, yeah
left hand up yep, um, so I don'tknow.
I think after they lose linerslost devo and I thought he was a
good weapon and I like thedefense for the rams just a
little bit better than theniners all right, we differ
(30:21):
there.
Andy (30:21):
I'm taking the niners, uh, and that's only because my
season long lock is the ninersover ten and a half wins, and
that's only because my seasonlong lock is the Niners over ten
and a half wins.
So, to go along with my seasonlong lock, I think they also win
the division, and this is a bigif.
You know where I'm going withthis one, probably, if Christian
McCaffrey stays healthy,they'll be incredible.
They he sets the tone, yeah.
(30:43):
So if he's healthy, which is abig if, then I think they win
the division but, the likelihoodthat he's out by week three or
four is very high.
He gets hurt all the time.
Now I don't have him on fantasythis year, so maybe he won't
get hurt did your sister drop?
Darby (31:01):
okay on that, christian McCaffrey she did and her team
name for the listeners here isinjured reserve, because most of
her players get injured.
A lot of her players get likean unusual amount of players
like eight to ten of the peopleshe drafts okay, I got Christian
McCaffrey again this year, sosorry, christian oh no, I think
(31:23):
you got maybe I should havewaited to make my season-long
lock until the draft, so I knewthat she was drafting him.
Andy (31:31):
Oh boy, all right, so we differ there.
So now let's go up to the,let's go to the AFC, let's go to
the AFC East.
Darby (31:40):
I have the Bills.
Andy (31:41):
Bills are the favorite at minus 285.
Not only are they the favoritefor that division, they're the
biggest favorite out of all theteams to win their division.
So, yep, yeah, I'm with you100%.
I can't believe the Patriotsare the second team in there.
I don't know what happened.
What happened to the Dolphins,like?
(32:04):
Why are they so far off?
Darby (32:05):
because it's well what if two.
Andy (32:07):
It doesn't have two fingers in place.
Darby (32:09):
The whole season, yeah, when he has that's what they
call it.
Andy (32:15):
That's what social media calls it.
You didn't know.
It was called that, no oh it'swhen he's laying on his back and
his hands are up.
I'm concussed again.
Darby (32:24):
No, no, I think the.
Andy (32:27):
Dolphins will be decent.
I don't know.
The Tyreek Hill had one of hisworst seasons last year.
There's no way he has thatseason again, right.
So like I think they'll be fine.
I was very confused by that.
If you're gonna go out on alimb and this is a big limb you
could throw a little money onthe Dolphins at plus 800, I
think.
But yeah, I'm taking the billsif I'm gonna bet this one win
(32:49):
the East well, yeah, what JoshAllen gets hurt you think
there's no doubt.
No doubt, this is a stone-coldlock that got all the divisions.
This is the one you have theleast amount of doubt about.
Darby (33:05):
I don't think the bill is serious.
Andy (33:06):
Okay, all right, all right .
You know like we're picking acouple of these, the favorites
or whatever, usually like two orthree teams that made the
playoffs the year before.
Don't make it the next year.
You don't think that's thebills?
(33:29):
Okay, all right.
Too much hard knocks.
They love the.
What you saw on hard knocks,all right.
Uh, I haven't watched any ofthat either.
The afc north, the local regionfor us.
Ravens are the favorite atminus 155, followed by the
bengal steelers brown.
Darby (33:39):
Hi, I'm picking the Ravens.
I really want to say Bengalshere, but I think their
offensive line is just going tocontinue to be a huge issue for
Joe Burrow.
He was ranked last year likenumber five in sacks and I don't
think that's going to getbetter and he's had injuries
(34:01):
over the last few years anywayand I think before they're in
their defense is not good.
I don't like that anymore.
Are they angles defense?
Andy (34:10):
No I don't know.
I've got a bangles expert.
Darby (34:14):
I think their team had when they made it to the Super
Bowl, and I think they've gottena little worse every year since
Ravens.
All right, ravens have learnedsingle 155.
Andy (34:25):
I am going to not pick them, I am picking.
I'm putting on my a, a Rontinfoil hat, and I am going with
the Steelers.
I think it's tremendous valueat plus 525.
Mike Tomlin has never had alosing record as a head coach.
Darby (34:47):
I think Rodgers comes in, but we saw some light on
Rodgers' best play for the Jets.
Okay, it was him running out ofthe locker room with a flag and
that was it.
That was two years ago.
Andy (35:00):
He played some games last year.
It didn't running out of thelocker room with the flag and
that was it.
That was two years ago.
He played some games last year.
It didn't go well last year.
But the Jets are a mess of anorganization.
I think you look at what he didwith the Packers I know it's
been a couple years removed.
He was consistently placingthem in contention for the North
.
They won the North many yearswhen he was there in Green Bay.
I get he's older now but Ithink he's still got enough left
(35:29):
that the Steelers, the Stallers, win the division.
I think this is one.
I circled when he went thereand I said I think this is going
to work out for him.
I love that.
I'm getting it at plus 525.
I may bet it and then bet ittwice on Sunday.
I love this one.
This division always changes.
Who wins it too?
Also, no respect for my boy,joe Flacco, here.
The worst odds to win thedivision the Browns at plus
(35:52):
3,500.
3,500.
You're telling me Flacco can'twin that division.
Get out of here.
I might sprinkle $3 on that.
Maybe I'll put $2 in honor ofthe Powerball.
Darby (36:08):
I'll throw $2.
Flacco had a good team aroundthen.
Maybe he's getting old.
Andy (36:14):
He is old.
I just was surprised that thosewere the odds for them.
Maybe they thought Shador wasstarting.
Maybe that's why the odds wereso bad.
Maybe they need to update itbecause Flacco's in town all
right, the AFC South, anothernot so good division Texans yeah
(36:35):
, I'm boring too.
I'm going Texans.
Yeah, I know, I mean, I don'thave much to say about this.
The Jaguars always.
The dark horse always oh, it'sthe jazz is the Jags here.
Is this a year?
Trevor Lawrence puts ittogether.
Thoughts on on that.
Darby (36:50):
I think they're gonna rename the Jacksonville Jaguars
to the London somethingeventually well, what are the
Colts?
Andy (37:00):
what are the Colts doing this year with Daniel Jones a
quarterback?
What is that?
About nothing.
I just don't like it.
Darby (37:09):
But like you said, the gym or say it could be.
I know one of those miracleyears is their owner just passed
.
Andy (37:18):
That is true, their owner did pass away in between the
seasons.
So yeah, you never know.
With that, I do know that theTitans have no shot at this
division.
Alright, and then the lastdivision we're going to look at
the AFC West, the home of yourBroncos.
What are you thinking?
Darby (37:40):
I'm going to begrudgingly say the Chiefs, I really want
to say the Broncos here.
I think the Travis Kelsey,Taylor Swift wedding
announcement.
I think most or all of thegroomsmen are probably going to
be the refs, for Travis Mahomeswill probably be a redsman, oh
(38:01):
my.
And on a serious note though,the Chiefs won 13 of their
regular season games last yearby three points or less.
Andy (38:10):
Say that standing up.
Darby (38:13):
The Chiefs won 13 of their regular season games by
three points or less in 24.
Of their regular season gamesby three points or less than 24.
And in December they only won10 of their first 13 games by
seven points per year.
So all of their games last yearwere very, very close.
And I don't know, maybe luckisn't in their favor, but I
(38:36):
really want to pick the Broncoshere.
So if I'm wrong, that's finewith me.
Andy (38:40):
Yeah, no, I don't think you're.
I think you're right.
I think the Chiefs a lot ofkarma.
Yeah, you know, they say karmais a cat.
That's Taylor Swift's song line.
In case you're not familiarwith that song Karma, I am not.
This is a Swifty podcast.
Let's remind the viewers thatwe are Swifties here.
No, let's remind the viewersthat we are Swifties here.
(39:02):
No, I'm not.
All right.
Well, you're on a pro-Swiftypodcast.
But yes, I thought theengagement photo was very lovely
, very tastefully done.
Good job, travis and Tay-Tay.
Yeah, I think the Chiefs winthis again.
The Broncos may do it.
It wouldn't surprise me if theBroncos won it, because
sometimes the Chiefs stumble andstruggle a little bit in the
(39:23):
regular season.
They've got to be getting tired.
How many times can they go tothe Super Bowl and win or lose
it in a row before their team isjust exhausted?
Darby (39:33):
I'll say that Denver defense added Barron from Texas
and he didn't allow a singletouchdown in coverage last
season, which is very unusual incollege because it's not a big
defensive college is just notbig defensive teams.
But and then they also kepttheir defensive player of the
year, pat Sertan.
They just signed Bonito to afour-year extension.
(39:57):
I don't know.
I think the Denver's defense isgoing to be really good this
year.
Andy (40:01):
Okay, and any thoughts on the Harbaugh and the Chargers
and Justin air bear any hope atall that they could come up and
win the division.
Darby (40:10):
I think they're gonna be better this year than they have
been in the past few, but IDon't think they're going to be
better than the Chiefs and theBroncos.
Andy (40:17):
Okay, so you still think they finished third in the
division?
Darby (40:20):
Yeah, but it's a good division, I think.
Andy (40:22):
I know, but better, but still, third Geez.
Darby (40:25):
Better yeah.
Andy (40:26):
And no thoughts on Pete Carroll doing it with Vegas, not
this year, not this year.
He's got to get people to know,but he's got Geno.
He used to, wasn't he with Geno?
Darby (40:38):
a little bit before.
All right, not this year forthe Raiders.
Andy (40:46):
Let's talk conference winners.
Did you pick any?
I have the list up on the odds,so we'll give the people the
odds here, if you had any.
Like, who do you think to winthe NFC AFC?
Oh like a Super Bowl matchup.
Darby (40:59):
Super Bowl matchup.
I mean I'd love to see Bill'sLions.
Andy (41:12):
I think I said that last year in the Super.
Darby (41:13):
Bowl.
I'd always love to see theBroncos.
Andy (41:14):
My login expired here.
Let me check what that wouldgive the people at home here.
So if you did bills winning,all right, let me see the bills
are plus 340 and you said theLions plus 650.
(41:34):
So that's yeah, that would be apretty good payday for you
there if you bet those two andthey both happen, and if if you
parlayed them together, it wouldbe even better.
So you think that's the SuperBowl Bills and Lions.
All right, I'm very boring.
I think the Super Bowl is goingto be the Kansas City Chiefs.
(41:54):
I think the NFL will doeverything in their power to
make sure that Taylor Swift isin the Super Bowl this year.
Some have speculated that theymight get married at halftime or
she might be the halftimeperformer more.
But yeah, I think so.
Kansas City, and then, from theNFC, I'm going to take the
Green Bay Packers.
(42:15):
I talked about it earlier withParsons.
I like it.
It yeah, I know you got the eyeroll there from Darby.
They're plus 600, so I likethat.
Take a plus 400 and a plus 600.
Put them together, that's yourSuper Bowl.
That's my prediction.
Who do you have winning theSuper Bowl?
Darby (42:37):
Who did I end up picking the Chiefs?
And who or did I pick theChiefs?
Andy (42:47):
I thought you picked the Bills and the Lions.
Darby (42:50):
Bills and the Lions.
Andy (42:53):
I would say Lions.
All right, I got the Packers.
I like the odds I know, I thinkthe Micah Parsons thing tips it
.
I think that they're at.
What was their number here?
Darby (43:08):
It's so high you probably can't see it.
Andy (43:10):
No, they're one of the favorites.
They're plus 1,300 to win theSuper Bowl.
Okay, did you have anybody?
That was a long shot, like, oh,if you were going to throw a
few bucks on this team.
So the favorites are the ravenseagles bills chiefs, lions
packers those are the favoritesum broncos, bangles, bucks or
vikings okay, wait, broncos, youcould get them at 25 to 1.
(43:35):
That's a good one.
You said bangles 22-1 that's agood one.
You said bangles 22 to 1 buckslong job.
Darby (43:48):
I can't find the bucks.
Hold on 28 to 1 vikings 22 to 1, same as bangles oh, there you
go all right.
Andy (43:53):
All right, um, I talked about it earlier.
I'd give you the stall Stullers.
If you're going to do a longshot, why not go for it?
You know they're due.
They haven't won in a whilesince Big Ben was there, so 45-1
, you can get the odds on theSteelers.
If Rodgers stays healthy, Idon't think it would hurt you to
(44:13):
put a couple bucks on theStullers the bunch of yinzers
going to the Super Bowl andwinning it.
Darby (44:20):
Or a guy that cursed Aaron Rodgers' name a lot.
I'm sure love him and his oldteam.
I told you I got my tinfoil haton.
Andy (44:27):
I took a horse tranquilizer and I got my
tinfoil hat on.
I'll probably be asked to be.
Maybe I'll do a collab with JoeRogan.
We can do cross promotion.
I can bring some people to hispodcast.
Darby (44:42):
He can bring some people to mine.
Stay tuned, I'll have that uptoo.
Andy (44:45):
I don't think he has the number one sports gambling
podcast in Liberty Township, soI could do that, alright, and
then we're going to roll through.
Do you have your phone on you?
I do we're going to roll throughour picks here.
So every week Darby and I pickall the games against the spread
and, uh, we'll just give you aquick overview and have some
thoughts on it, if we have anythoughts.
(45:06):
If not, we'll just tell youwhat we thought for the game.
But it starts with thursdaynight football.
All right, cowboys at theeagles, eagles six and a half
point favorite, darby, who yougot here?
Eagles, there's no doubter.
Right, nothing to say muchthere.
That's.
It's sad but that's gonnahappen.
Friday night we have a Fridaynight game in Brazil Chiefs
three and a half favorites atChargers, but not really at
(45:28):
Chargers because it's in Brazil.
Cheese.
Yeah, chiefs as well.
I don't think air bear does it,but you had a stat there,
though, earlier about the Chiefs, how many three-point games
they had, so that technicallywouldn't cover if they won by
three.
That's true uh, and then Sunday,starting our slate, we got
minus one and a half theBuccaneers at Falcons, bucs,
(45:48):
bucs, uh, yeah, I don't havemuch to say about that one right
now.
Uh, bengals minus five and ahalf at the Browns.
Darby (45:57):
I picked Bengals, but the Browns do have a tendency to be
the one like one of the fewwins against the Bengals, and
that's why I took Browns plus5.5.
Andy (46:06):
I think you catch Flacco early.
He's been resting all summerlong.
You got a young knee Flaccothere, or whatever, in his first
game back, so I like them there.
That's the difference, I think.
Dolphins plus 1 a half at Colts.
I also have dolphins.
Daniel Jones stinks.
I don't want to take the Coltsto win any games this year.
(46:28):
Panthers plus two and a half atJacksonville.
Darby (46:33):
Jacksonville.
Andy (46:34):
I also took Jacksonville that I don't trust the Panthers,
especially on the road.
Darby (46:39):
Uh raiders readers plus three and a half.
Andy (46:42):
Now this is a west coast team traveling east.
That's fine.
You still want the raiders,plus three and a half I like the
raiders I too picked that.
Yeah, I like the raiders theretoo.
What do you got for cardinalsminus five and a half at saints
cardinals, yes, cardinals big, Ithink they roll them there.
Sp Spencer Rattler, the Saintsare going to be hard to watch
(47:06):
this year.
Steelers minus three and a halfat the Jets.
Steelers and the Steelers thereas well.
Jets, another team that will behard to watch.
Giants, another team hard towatch.
Six and a half point underdogsat Commanders.
Yep same Titans 7.5 pointunderdog at Denver.
(47:28):
I picked the Broncos that's ourfirst 4 o'clock game good luck,
Cam Ward.
I think the Broncos roll inthere.
No doubt in my mind, Sunday 4o'clock again 49ers minus 2.5 at
the Seahawks 49ers yep, same49ers boy.
We have a lot the same thisweek Lions plus one and a half
(47:49):
at.
Green Bay I picked the Lions aswell.
Darby (47:53):
I thought you wanted Green Bay all day.
Andy (47:57):
I did just pick Green Bay to win the Super Bowl but that's
sometimes the inconsistenciesthat you'll get with gambling
and stuff.
I do think Green Bay, but Ithink the Lions the way they
lost in the playoffs last year,I think they're going to come
out and whoop, I think they'llbeat the Packers.
So, yeah, I would take them.
We took them plus one and ahalf in our little gambling
group thing app, but I wouldtake them just money line to win
(48:19):
Tex half in our little gamblinggroup thing app, but I would
take them just money line to wintexans plus two and a half at
the rams.
I think the rams.
See, this is where we differ.
I took the texans, I I don'tknow stafford early in the
season, though the rams.
I'm gonna keep my texans pick,but I don't mind.
This is what I debated quite abit before I could make my
decision.
There's only a few games thisweek where I really sat and was
(48:40):
like, oh, I don't know,flip-flop, flip-flop.
Yeah, uh, sunday night footballravens plus one and a half, add
the bills I did make the ravenshere quote the derby nevermore
that's right no, I got the bills.
Nobody.
Nobody circles the wagons likethe buffalo bills.
I think the bills circles thewagons like the Buffalo Bills.
(49:06):
I think the bills beat theRavens, I yeah.
And then Monday Night FootballVikings minus one and a half at
the bears Vikings yeah, no oneand a half.
They must not trust JJ McCarthywell, he's new so okay, caleb
Williams was new last year.
He was terrible, terrible,terrible, terrible, terrible.
He did go back.
I saw I don't know if there's afake news article or not he did
go back to painting his nails.
Darby (49:27):
This off season, so maybe go in the first round when he
got drafted yes, yes.
Andy (49:33):
So caleb williams, with the finger paint on his nails
again.
You like that or no?
Darby (49:42):
paint on his nails again.
You like that, or?
Andy (49:43):
no, you don't think that helps him.
I don't.
I like the vikings.
I do too.
All right, so that's it forevery single game we just gave
you there.
Um, oh, season long locks.
Since we're starting the seasonoff, where the gambling group
always does these, I uh, withthe help of my wife here, I came
up with the 49ers over 10 and ahalf.
That's my season long lock.
Some of the other nfl ones andwe talked about on the podcast
(50:06):
last week.
Greg gave us under eight and ahalf wins for the bears.
Mike, uncle mike gave usvikings over eight and a half
wins.
I like that one too.
What do you think of that one?
Oh, my god and then Ethan gaveus bangles under nine and a half
wins.
What do you think of that?
Darby (50:27):
I Think it's gonna depend on a lot on their offensive
line bangles.
Offensive line, joe can't Imean constantly scramble out of
the pocket.
Andy (50:38):
But so you think they could go on that if their?
Darby (50:41):
offensive line is.
As bad as they might be, theymight go under nine, okay, I
don't know.
Andy (50:48):
I didn't like that one, so I stayed away from the bangles.
I couldn't decide.
I think they said that right atwhere it needs to be, nine and
a half, so I didn't want to goup or down on that.
He's very confident though, so,uh, and then, as far as lock of
the week, the gambling group, Ionly have the one so far.
Steve gave us Iowa at IowaState minus three.
Now, listen, I like it, I loveit.
(51:09):
I want some more of it.
I did a little anti Iowa parlaylast week.
I'm trying to find it here forthe people.
There was a lot of promotionaldeals or whatever.
So I sat down and cooked up inthe lab a little anti-Iowa
parlay of the weekend.
(51:29):
They were playing theUniversity of Albany, the Great
Danes, and I picked sixdifferent things.
I picked the Albany spread plus38.5.
Iowa doesn't score points, so38.5.
Immediately I was like this issuspicious Under total points of
(51:52):
49.5, again, iowa doesn't scorepoints.
First half under of 27 and ahalf total points.
Albany spread at halftime 21and a half Total points in the
first quarter under 10 and ahalf.
And Albany spread first quarterplus eight and a half.
(52:13):
I parlayed all those thingstogether and I got paid.
It was a pretty good payday.
I think it was five to one.
It paid out.
So I hit that little parlay.
I might put together a littleanti-Iowa parlay for this
weekend.
They still stink.
I don't think they score at all.
(52:33):
So if you're looking to do someunders and stuff, iowa is
always attractive for that.
But yeah, I like that.
Steve, that's a good lock.
I think Iowa State wins by morethan three and then that's it.
So my lock this week oh, laneywanted something to say there on
the podcast.

(52:54):
