Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome players, You're welcome. Are it's time now, Penny Penny,
that it is. We are back at it, trying to
make you money and trying not to embarrass ourselves picking
NFL games as we head into week four and now
we already had the Thursday night game. You know the
(00:23):
outcome there, We had the Eagles. Uh, that was the
the pick. We picked the Eagles on the game. So
we'll we'll we'll get into the rest of the weekend.
Now we will not be talking about the Jets. They
are not playing, will not be talking about the forty Niners.
Jets are oh in three forty Niners or three and oh,
but those are the teams we've started the bye weeks.
And there's only two teams that are by on the
(00:43):
bye week this week, so we're gonna talk about them.
But guess God is with me on this now. Guest Gone,
you are the keeper of the stats. Before we look forward,
we must look back and see how we did here
as we try to buck the odds and pick winners
and and all that in the NFL. And so the
question here Gascon is how did we do pressing our luck?
(01:06):
Pressing our luck a week ago? Man? It was a
bounce back week for you versus the Penny, and it
was a dynamite Week number three you are twelve up
and just four down. And week number three, that's a
job that this is three. By the way, this is
tried too and tested. Week week one you were thirteen
(01:30):
and three and then week number three twelve and four.
So that is lights out for two to three weeks.
We will forget Week two. I was my week too, right,
it was like six, six and ten. Yeah, so I
was four under five hundred then, but I'm way over
five hundred on the year, like if you bet every game,
which you shouldn't do. Yeah, And I think the biggest
thing for you is that you finally got away after
two weeks. You finally got away from the Miami Dolphins,
(01:53):
finally divorced yourself from that. Yeah. I learned a valuable,
valuable lesson there. And for those that are new to
this podcast, many versus the Penny. We did this on
radio probably for fifteen years or so, we did many
versus the Penny, but I feel like it works better
here on the podcast because I would I'm obsessive with
these notes, right, I I try to absorb all this material,
(02:15):
So I wouldn't I would put a lot of time
handicapping these dopey games, and I wouldn't be able to
get it all out there because we because on the radio,
we have time restraints that we don't have on the
podcast and all that. So my advice has always been
people email me from time to time they say, well,
what's this all about? Should I just bet every game? No,
you should not bet every game. Your money management is
the key to gambling. It's becoming more popular. But money
(02:37):
management is important here. But it's also the way I
look at this is that you you. I will give
you my opinion on the game. Now, if my opinion
aligns with your opinion, that's a game you should probably
been on because we agree. But and and sometimes we
maybe I'll be able to twist your mind around doing
mind mind hack and be able to twist you around
(02:58):
and do a different way. But so so that's how
you should do betty versus Penny. But let's get right
into it. We I did bring back some questions. I
got some complaints of people, Hey, you didn't put any
dopey questions in. So we'll get trivial, which is a
word uni Loony used to say to me when I
would do the instant trivia and all that, and so again.
The goal this year that we're pressing our luck. Big money.
We want big money. No wammies, no wammies. All right,
(03:24):
all right, here we go Carolina at Houston one in
two versus two and one. It's on Fox with Kenny
Albert and Ronde Barber. The Texans opened a four point favorite.
There a four and a half point favorite. The pick
is in. I'm gonna take the Carolina Panthers here. Now
a couple of reasons why I know people are not
buying what Kyle Allen is selling. He only played one
(03:47):
game here this year, but he pitched a gem in
Arizona last week. This is a much more difficult test.
I believe the value is on the side of Carolina.
The pa there's played a complete game last week. They
will look to use that obviously, is a catalyst there
to chest springboard their season back to after losing back
(04:09):
to back home games. How do you make up for
a home loss win a game on the road. That's
how how you do it? Uh. And then secondly, when
you bet on the Texas, you're dependent on Deshaun Watson,
which Deshaun Watson will show up. Watson has been like
the volatile stock, right up and down and all the round. Uh.
For example, he played like flatulence against Jacksonville a couple
(04:31):
of weeks back, and then was dominant Deshaun Watson against
the Chargers in l A this past week. But that
lack of consistency is disturbing as a gambler, and the
Panthers have an above average pass rush. We know the
offensive line for the Texas has much maligned and whatnot.
I expect this to be a fifty fifty game, which
(04:52):
means gonna be a tight game, even though it's not
a divisional game, it's an interconference game. But I'm really
banking on the act that I'm right that Kyle Allen
is a at least a slightly above average quarterback, that
he's somehow got the cheek code here and teams haven't
figured him out yet. And if I'm right about that
and everything was better because of Kyle allen better quarterback play,
(05:14):
then Carolina will be in the winner circles. I think
they win the game out right. I don't need the points.
I'll take two points. Carolina Houston. Unlike you, the Penny
likes to Shan Watson will take the Houston Texans. Be
sure to catch live editions of The Ben Miller Show
weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
(05:36):
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. All right,
let's get trivial. Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield five interceptions in
the fourth quarter through the first three weeks of the season.
That is tied with Blank for the most by any
quarterback over his team's first three games of a season
in the last twenty five years. Again, Baker Mayfield five
(06:00):
interceptions in the fourth quarter this year, tied with Blank,
the most by any qb over the first three games
of the season in the past twenty five years. I'll
fill in the blank in a couple of minutes. So
if you have the answer, just hold onto it. Just
hold on to it. Next up, Cleveland at Baltimore. It's
on CUBAZ with Greg Gumbel and Trent Green. The Ravens
(06:21):
opened up a five point favorite. They are a seven
point favorite at home in Maryland. Give me Sonny and
eighties six degrees at kickoff at M ANDT Bank Stadium.
I'm taking the Brownies in this game, I'm gonna take Cleveland.
I know that's not the popular pick by popular people,
but I'll tell you why. First of all, Cleveland, they're
(06:42):
in the eye of the storm right now. This offseason
makeover has not paid dividends, obviously, yet they're under five hundred.
They had some embarrassing losses to start the year. Here
this would be the perfect time to turn the ship around.
Here with Baker Mayfield, who has been a total bust
of an abject failure at quarterback. He'ste and bad throws
(07:04):
in the NFL. I'm surprised he's not higher than that.
But it's not like the receivers have dropped that many passes.
They dropped six passes, but that that number wouldn't go
up that much. Baker Mayfield's completing fifty six point nine
percent of his passes. That is worst among quarterbacks who
have started three games. There's no one worse than Baker
Mayfield as far as accuracy. His quarterback rating of seventy
(07:26):
is also dead last in the NFL garbage So why
am I taking the Cleveland Browns? Why would I do that?
Because I don't believe in the Ravens defense and any
there's a scenario where Mayfield can have a breakoud game.
The Ravens defense is a soft spot there. Twenty seven
and past defense ahead of the Dolphins by three yards.
(07:46):
All right, they're barely ahead of the Dolphins. This is
an opportunity for Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry to abuse
that secondary. But Mayfield's gotta get him the ball. There's
gonna be open receivers here. There's gonna be chunk plays, big,
big yardage place here for the Browns this week. They
gotta take advantage now. The second thing and you know,
the end of the yang here is Lamar Jackson. Uh.
(08:09):
The story is the first two weeks, Lamar Jackson has
has come come of age. He's evolved. He's he's now
a legit passing quarterback. Well, based on last week, that
looks like smoking mirrors against He put up those great
numbers against horseship teams, the Dolphins and the Cardinals, and
then he got smashed around by the Vanilla Kansas City
(08:30):
Chiefs defense. He was atrocious. Not only was the quarterback,
he was a trocy hadn't uh you know, no touchdowns
last week, no touchdown passes average barely six yards per attempt,
barely fifty completion percentage, and had a passer rating of seventy.
And that's that's that's the old Lamar Jackson from last year.
That kind of performance that you expected, and and and
(08:53):
the other thing. You're the reason like the Browns. Browns
have a pretty good defense, pretty good even the tenth
best past the fence in the NFL. Cleveland. You look
at this here, they really they the two games they
lost here, they had some issues. They played well against
the Jets, a bad team. Obviously the Ravens a better team.
But if the if the Browns can win this game.
(09:14):
The last time they get off to a two start
on the road was all right, n uh. In this rivalry,
the road team has covered twelve of the last eight team.
But as we say every week, one of the mantras
of our show Benny versus the penny. Anytime you get
over seven points in a divisional game. Divisional games are
usually closer. You don't ask questions, you take two points,
(09:37):
You put a smile on your face. Browns will win
this game out right, Browns twenty four Ravens twenty penny
is telling you here and going with the Cleveland Browns.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Let's pay off the Let's get trivial question. Baker Mayfield
(09:59):
five in or exceptions in the fourth quarter, tied with
blank for the most by any quarterback over the first
three games of the season in the past twenty five years.
What's your answer, guest? Normally I think you'd go with
a Manning here, but I will go deeper into the
pocket and I'll say Brett Farve. Yeah, Brett far is
not a bad option. He would be at the tail
end of that last twenty five year run. Actually not
(10:22):
the tail and the second half of his career. That's
that's not it. Uh. It is Ryan fitzpatro Yan Fitzpatrick.
And it was only a couple of years ago. Uh boy,
it's hard to I think he was in Buffalo. He's
changes teams every year. He changes teams like Floyd maywe
their changes underwear. It's a daily experience, al right. Next up,
(10:44):
keep the train moving. Gascon wants to go quick. He
wants to get the hell out of here. Washington, oh
and three at the New York Giants one and two.
It's on Fox. You Better wash. Tom Brennan and Chris
Spielman on the call. Here. The Giants opened a three
point favorite, actually a two point favorite. There a three
point favorite. The weather mild whether seventies seven agrees, mostly
(11:08):
sunny in Jersey at MetLife Stadium, scheduled for kickoff. I've
gone back and forth in this game, but ultimately i
decided that I'm gonna take the Giants. I don't like
this per se because I'm going with the public. Uh
And and there's an obsession with Danny dimes mania here
Daniel Jones, who gave the Giants franchise a shot of
adrenaline for a team that was in disarray. But remember,
(11:33):
the perception would be much different here. If Tampa May
makes that field goal, You'll be like, well, he played well,
but they didn't win the game. Right. He would have
eaten an l in his maiden voyage as a quarterback.
But Jones, he was he was the only bugaboos. He
He fumbled a couple of times, and and you fumble,
you know that's a fifty fifty thing when you fumble
and all that. But I read a stat that Pro
(11:56):
Football Focus had that since they've been around doun. Daniel
Jones is the first quarterback ever pressured at least twelve
times that had a perfect passer rating. So he was
cool under pressure. Who is a cucumber as the old
cliche goes, And he was pressured one percent of his
snaps last week, So I bring that up. You know,
(12:18):
the Redskins do not have a great defense. They're trying
to redeem themselves here. That's the second thing embarrassed on
National TV. They're down twenty eight to nothing to the
Chicago Bears. Uh and so it's great that they want
to bounce back, but can they Like Washington is a
team that is a hot mess. They play hard for
Jay Gruden. They have some grit, they have some pesky players,
(12:41):
but you gotta have talent and they are lacking in
that department. If one player sums up the Redskins, it's
Landon Collins. Landing Collins is the guy that the Redskins
just made the highest paid safety in NFL history give
at eighty four million dollar contract. So far this season,
the highest is paid safety in NFL history has zero interceptions,
(13:04):
zero fumbles, force, zero sacks, zero passes defended, and he's
also missed a bunch of tackles. You talk about a
return on investment for for the Redskins from landing Collins
and in the Washington secondary has been been embarrassing. I
believe that Daniel Jones will play very well in this game.
(13:26):
He'll put up his numbers, he will turn the ball
over a couple of times. It'll be a back and forth,
high scoring game. Redskins will put up some points against
the soft cheese Giants defense. But in the end, Giants
thirty four, Redskins thirty penny, who's going with the g man.
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
(13:47):
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports
Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app
search f s R to listen live. All right. Next
up the LA Chargers at the Miami Dolphins. It's on CBS.
Tom Carthy and Jay Feely will have a lot of
garbage time here. Dolphins owing three charges, one and two
line on this game open at sixteen. It's anywhere from
(14:08):
sixteen to sixteen and a half. The line I have
says sixteen, so we'll use that. Uh and I am
gonna take the charges here. I'm gonna take the charges.
I don't love this pick per se, but the Chargers
because they've been malingering. They have, they've been in games,
they've lost here, but they've made some some stupid place
Philip Rivers in particularly late in games, the old war horse,
(14:31):
Philip Rivers, the old veteran. The Chargers ranked fifth in
the NFL in total yards, but there are twenty one
in points per game, so there's a lack of execution
in the red zone. And Philip Rivers has been great
for three quarters. He can't put that fourth quarter uh
stigma behind the first three quarters, Rivers is completing over
(14:51):
seventy of his passes no interception, but in the fourth
quarter he's completing barely fifty of his path no touchdowns,
two interceptions. In the first three games of the year,
he's been back. Now the Miami game is usually an
extra bye week here, but you still have to show up.
Dating back the week seventeen of last season, the Dolphins, congratulations,
(15:16):
they have become the first team to lose four consecutive
games by at least twenty five points. You gotta go
back to the Boston Patriots in in the nineteen nineteen
sixty nine seasons, the last time that happens. So congratulations
to the Dolphins franchise. You've done a wonderful job. I
(15:36):
did find a positive. The Dolphins of their passes have
traveled over twenty yards down field, alright, twenty yards down here.
That's the highest in the NFL. Of course, most of
those passes dropped incomplete. And you've got Josh Rosen, who
I love how bad the Dolphins are that people are saying, well,
(15:57):
Josh Rosen was a breath of fresh air. He had
a passer rating of seventy three and completed fifty of
his passes and is considered and no touchdowns at halftime,
and people say, oh, I'm very impressive, and all I mean,
it's ridiculous. Now. Typically I would say take the points,
take the points, don't bet the game, take the points.
But the Dolphins aren't trying. They are not trying. The
(16:20):
Charges will be the desperate team here. They don't want
to start out one and three. One and three is
a bad situation. Two and two is acceptable. Chargers thirty
seven Dolphins seventy penny agrees with you. Going with the
bolts all right. Next up, it's Penning versus the Penny
will keep the train moving. Oakland one and two at Indianapolis.
(16:41):
This game is on CBS and it's a game with
Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. They will call the game.
The Colts open a six point favorite. They are favored
by seven. The weather in this situation four degrees, not
that it matters. It's in the dome, will be partly
sunny if you're in Indianapolis. The pick is in on
(17:03):
the Raiders and the Colts. I've gone back and forth
on this game, but ultimately I've I've landed on taking
the Raiders, and I'm gonna take the Raiders on the points,
and I understand any strategy here. They're gonna ride the
Marlon Mack Express train and they're gonna play close to
the vest with Jacobe Brissette, power running game and all
that stuff. UH and any should jump out to an
(17:25):
early lead. The Colts have been very good at home.
They won their last seven home games going back to
last year, back when Andrew Luck was there, and they
have not won eight consecutive games since the Peyton Manning
years back in the first decade of the two thousand's.
Here and so we'll see that the Raiders traditionally have
been terrible against the Colts in any they haven't won there.
(17:46):
They don't play that often, but they haven't won there
since and that was when our former Fox Sports Radio colleague,
Jim Mora I was coaching and Rich Gannon was the
Raiders quarterback the last time they won in Indianapolis. But
the reason that I the many reason I bet against
the Colts is the public is laying the lumber. This
(18:07):
is one of the most lopsided games this weekend. Over
sevent of the bets have been on the Colts. I
love to be a contrarian. I love to be against
the public and be on the side of the sharp guys.
So getting a touchdown with a team that is still
trying to win. Unlike the Dolphins, I figured the Raiders
haven't completely given up hope. They're not a hopeless bunch yet,
(18:30):
even though they look like a Pop Warner team against
the Vikings last week, I expect a better effort, a
more competitive game. You don't really get blown out back
to back games. So and also the Colts could be
looking ahead. I believe they play the Chiefs in Week five.
Indianapolis will win the game, but they won't cover the spread.
Colts twenty eight, Raiders twenty three. Not this time for
(18:53):
the penny. They like the Indianapolis Colts. All right, we'll
keep it going. Next up Kansas City three and oh
at Detroit to oh and one. It's on Fox. You
better watch Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis and the Fox
box that Rocks calling the game. The Chiefs opened to
six point favorite. They are currently a six and a
half point favorite. I'm told this is the first game
(19:16):
that Patrick Mahomes has played indoors as an NFL player.
He used to dominate when he was a Texas Tech
in dome environments, but this is the first time as
an NFL quarterback. The pick is in and I am
taking the Lions. I'm gonna take the Lions here to
cover the spread. And this is the ultimate contrarian pick here.
It is uh. This is another acid test for Destroit.
(19:40):
The Lions defense. I feel like they have overachieved that
some of the numbers are skewed because they gave up
a bunch of points in the fourth quarter to tie
the Cardinals. But now they go into the lab against
the Chiefs where Kansas City has scored twenty five or
more points in twenty five consecutive games. That's a long
his street in NFL history. But I actually like the
(20:04):
Lions defense to hold their own here Trey Flowers and
snacks Harrelson. When I say hold their own, I'm saying
that the Chiefs aren't gonna score fifty in this particular game.
But you also have about a fifty percent chance to
win a bet when you take around seven points. Through
the first three games of the season, all right, forty
(20:27):
seven point nine percent of NFL games have been decided
by six points or less. And uh, and so you've
got that working for you as well. And is this
a letdown spot for Kansas City? Why would it be
a letdown spot? The Chiefs just won a big game
against the Ravens last week, a game that many people
had circled on the schedule earlier in the year. See
(20:49):
how they would do against Lamar Jackson. Now they play
an NFC opponent, a team nobody gets up to play
the Lions. And then you have another showcase game next
week against the Colts, which is a bigger game for
Kansas City. Uh, She's still win the game. But I
believe they'll give up some puts. The Chiefs defense will
(21:10):
will regress here, and I'm not buying there. The real
McCoy Chiefs thirty four, Lions twenty eight. No chance in
hell of pennies following in this one. They're going with
Kansas City. You can have knocked yourself out with Kansas City,
and the Chiefs should win the game by ten fifteen
(21:31):
thousand points. But this Lions team, I like the way
they're playing right now. They're off the grid. Uh so
I'm going with it. All right, let's get trivial again here.
It's penny versus the penny. As you know from the podcast,
Frank Gore was the leading rusher for either team in
Buffalo's win over Cincinnati last week. Right, he led the
(21:53):
game in rushing yards. At age thirty six, he is
the oldest player to be leading rusher in an NFL
game since Blank. All right, since Blank. Frank Gore, at
age thirty six, the oldest player to lead an NFL
game in rushing yards since Blank. Will give me the
answer in a couple of minutes. Next up New England
three and oh at Buffalo three and oh it's on CBS.
(22:16):
I an Eagle and Dan Fouts will be an Orchard Park,
New York's gonna be a a nice day in in
in Orchard Part, New York, sixty five degrees, mostly sunny.
Patriots open a six point favorite. They are a seven
point favorite. Now. I went back and forth on this
game also, but I settled on taking I'm gonna cover
(22:36):
my my eyes here and I'm gonna hold my nose,
which apparently is running. I'm gonna take the Buffalo Bills.
I And this is a great Patriots team. They're off
to the greatest start in this last twenty years of
dynasty for Bill Belichick. They appear to be the cream
of the crop. They've they've gone scorched earth against the
weaklings of the NFL, and the Bills haven't really played
(22:56):
anybody of No, they played the Bangals and the two
teams in who are claiming to be from New York,
the Giants and the Jets even like playing New Jersey.
This is not great competition. And this is the degree
of difficulty goes up a lot for Buffalo, but it
also goes up a lot for the Patriots. The Steelers
appear to be a bad a bad team judging by
their record, and they didn't show up for that game
(23:18):
in New England. And then they played the Dolphins and
they played the Jets. So the Patriots haven't played anybody
yet either. So that to me, that's equal. Uh. And
you know, I feel like, you know, it's a little
insane to the membrane here because New England's point differential
is thirty six points higher than any other team. The
Cowboys are number two, thirty six points better than the
numbers are skewed. And now then the thing that scares
(23:40):
me about Buffalo, and you gotta factor this in Josh
Allen is he's a compass rose. He doesn't know where
the ball is going and could go north, southeast, west,
you name it. And he turns the ball over a
lot in his young career, and that will kill you.
That will that will make this a thirty ford a
nothing type of game if he plays a game like that.
(24:02):
But I believe Buffalo and they're not gonna win the game.
I don't think I'm crazy. I'm not that crazy. Like
a ship out a shifout rats rat, as they say,
is that the phrase guest ship house house rat to
pick pick Buffalo to win this game. Uh, However, they
have more than a putcher's chance. They can hang in there.
It's a divisional game. Remember the bed rock. We talked
(24:24):
about it, Benny versus the penny. When the wise guys
give you seven points and more in the divisional game,
you take the points. Even in a Bill's Patriots game,
this is a much bigger game for the Buffalo Bills.
This is an acid test game to show that there's
some legitimacy that this team is not a fraud. And
so they're at home a lot of enthusiasm there. People
will be throwing dildos on the field that Tom Brady.
(24:46):
Uh So, it's a big statement game. It's not as
big a statement game for the Patriots. I mean they've
been they put they're like every every years they wait
till the playoffs for their statement games. Patriots will win
the game, but the Bills will keep it close. Low
scoring game. Patriots twenty Bills sixteen. Penny likes you. They're
going with the Bills and the mafia. All right. Next up,
(25:10):
let's pay off the trivia. Let's get trivia. The question
was Frank gored at age thirty six, with the leading
rusher in the Bills Bengals game leading rusher there, and
he's the oldest player to lead the NFL an NFL
game and rushing since blank. Alright, gascot, you like old
guys who are older than me. What's your answer. I'm
(25:31):
gonna go with Curtis Martin on this one. It's not
a bad guess, but it's not right the correct answer,
and you should kick yourself because this guy is a devil.
Bronco Mike Anderson, No, John Elway. John Elway, believe it
or not. At age thirty eight and what I believe
(25:52):
was his final season in a December game, he was
the leading rusher, the quarterback, the leading rusher, uh in
in that game at age thirty. So that's that's the
record to break. And that seems like a record that
will last long. I don't how many running actually played
to the forty. Maybe Frank Gore will be that guy.
(26:12):
All right? Next up, I say, you said running back
and it wasn't thinking quarterback, but I said leading rusher. Yeah. Sorry,
that's a good question, thank you. Uh. Next up, Tennessee
at Atlanta. A couple of one in two teams. It's
on CBS. Former Laker and Nicks played by play guy
Spiro Adidas and Adam Archiletta, who's claimed to famous working
(26:33):
with me at the NBC Sports Network. Uh Falcons opened
up a three and a half point favorite. They're currently
favored by four. I'm all in on the Tennessee Titans,
which sounds crazy the way they played against Jacksonville, but
the Falcons are teetering on the brink. Actually, both these
teams are. Dan Quinn is barely hanging on to his job.
He's living in that fish bowl in Atlanta and outside
(26:55):
of a turnaround, he's dead man coaching here. Atlanta has
been by and large a second division outfit. The Falcons
have a feeble run defense, and that's the main reason
I expect Derrick Henry to have a big bounce back
boomerang game here for Tennessee, the entire team out of Nashville.
(27:16):
We'll find out what kind of pride they have at
being embarrassed on National TV last week. They've had a
lectra time, lectra time to get ready to play the
Thursday night game last week. Plus Marcus Mariota, who you
don't want to bet on Mariota. He had a backwards
performance there. It's almost like he needs to get a
GPS to find the end zone. It's Brotal, the guy
leads the NFL with seventeen sacks has generally been either
(27:40):
bad or average every game. Uh that said, this is
a much better Titans team that will show up this
week and again trying to avoid the one in three start.
This This is a team that has matched up the
last couple of years very well against the the week
lenks of the end fell that the soft serve the
(28:01):
non physical teams. Atlanta is in that category. Uh so.
And also, I am I am told by some of
my moles here that the big the big whales, the
big gamblers. Uh, they are all over the Titans. I'm
gonna take there, all over the Titans. I'm on their side.
Titans twenty four Falcons. One man, this is scary for
(28:26):
the Penny too. She has gone with the Titans. Alright,
so we agree on that game. Next up, let's get
to the Lake games. All right. We're in the late
games here, as we keep the ship moving on Benny
versus the Penny, Tampa Bay one and two at the
L A. Rra Ams on Fox. It's on Fox. Chris
Myers and Darryl Johnson. I want you to know, guest
on that I I might actually go to this game
(28:49):
because I got a message from a former colleague of
mine at Fox Sports Radio, the great t J Reeves,
who I followed him on the weekends, and he is
the radio sideline reporter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and
he's gonna be intended. He asked me if I was
gonna be the Game's like, well, I'm not planning on
going to the game, and then he told me he
was gonna be there. So I said, okay, I'll see
(29:09):
if I can get in there at the last minute,
and then I can I can choose. It's kind of good.
We haven't I haven't taught to him a long time.
He's he's down in Tampa. He's a regular down There
was a weekend host here, all right, Fox Sports Radio.
So that'll be great you get to Yeah, I love
I love t J. And we had some fun with
him back in the day, and so it's always good.
He's part of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association, Guest,
(29:30):
which you will soon be part of once they hear
this podcast. But most of those people go up and
up right, they they go to climb onto higher stages.
Is that accurate? Uh? Not everyone? Uh, We've got guys
making French fries, not everyone, you know. All Right, Well,
I hope, so, I hope, I'm I hope. I'm a
part of that upper echelon. You're just as likely to
be the face of the NFL network like andrews Ceciliano
(29:53):
or make make cheeseburgers and push shopping carts, so that
those are good jobs people need. But anyway, alright, so
Tampa Bay and the Rams. The Rams open a nine
point favorite, They're a ten point favorites, gonna be seventy
five degrees that kick off at the Colisseum in Los Angeles.
I'm gonna take the Buccaneers here, even though I love
the Rams Tampa Bay, their defense is is not horrific.
(30:18):
Their fourteenth and yards, they're actually better this year than
the Cowboys statistically. And I love how Shaq Barrett, the
guy that got away from Denver, has played. He's the
new QB Killer for the Tambay Buccaneers, bringing back memories
of war and Sap and some of those great uh
Brooks and some of those great defensive players back in
the day. As he's off to a record setting start
(30:38):
for sacks the first three weeks of the year. The Rams.
The main reason not to take the Rams is because
they have no dimensions to their offense. They're a grinded
out team right now. Jared Golf has yet to have
a dominant performance. Todd Gurley is half the man he
used to be in the backfield. Uh. And so I
(30:59):
know the Ms are somehow three, you know, but they're
doing it with ugly, grind out wins. They're not getting
a lot of style points. You said, well, Tampa Bay
is a bad team. They should blow the doors. Yeah,
they should. But Jamis Winston, who's played very well in
the first half of games, he's been a mistake prone
mess in the second half. I saw a stat his
passer rating is a hundred eleven before halftime. In the
(31:22):
second half it's below sixty. And the Rams mob squad,
that defense is too legit to quit. They have a
very good defense. There's some of these veterans they brought
in so far have found the fountain of youth. But again,
the main reason that I'm gonna bet against the Rams
to cover is Jared Goff. He's like a lost puppy
(31:42):
dog and you're gonna have to keep scoring poth Now.
The thing that could change this if if Famous Jamis
throws three interceptions and a couple of pick six is.
Obviously the Rams will win this game forty to ten.
But I say that doesn't happen. Buccaneers old hang around
ten points is too many and in the Rams also
have I believe they played the Thursday game next week.
I think they played the Seahawks next week, so they
(32:04):
have a short short week peek ahead NFC West rival
Rams thirty one bucks, three penny going with the Rams
all night? Damn right, can ram it all day? You
can ram it all right? All right? Seattle two and one,
(32:25):
Arizona O two and one, It's on Fox, and get
another Dick Stockton game for the Arizona Cardinals. I feel
like Dick Stockton is the personal broadcaster for the Arizona Cardinals. Uh.
I think this is. And it's at least the second,
if not the third, Cardinals game. Mr Stockton has done.
Dick Stockton and Mark schlay Rith on the call on
(32:47):
this game. The Seahawks opened at three point favorite. They're
favorite by five, and I am all over Seattle in
this game. I don't no gonna like road favorites. That's
a bad formula. But I'm gonna take the Sea Seahawks.
Here a couple of reasons why number one Russell Wilson
is licking his chops. The Cardinals are missing both starting
(33:07):
defensive backs. You could not ask for a better opportunity
to go blitz Creek if you're Seattle. I guesst a
divisional opponent. I sometimes I say, well, watch out for
the wounded bear, but don't watch out for the wounded Cardinal.
I again, I typically don't like road favorites, but this
is an exception of the rule. I also love the
fact Seattle lost last week, so you have the zig
(33:29):
zag theory in play here, a little more pep in
their step. Russell Wilson has been great coming off a loss.
I think sixteen and eight the number against the spread
over over the years here in that situation recent years,
well not that recent, but but anyway. Secondly, uh, you
know who has the most bad throws in the NFL?
(33:52):
Which quarterback has the most bad throws? Ding Ning? Nick
Nick Ning? This guy has been overmatched by the NFL.
It's not his fault. She have been the number one
pick Anyone with half a brain knows that uh Murray
is pacing the NFL and bad throws. He leads the
NFL and pass attempts, but he's not even in the
top ten in yards because he's averaging six point one
(34:12):
yards per a tempt That is thirty in the NFL.
Only Mitch Trabiskie has been worse among quarterbacks. We have
started three games, so it's a hard sell. Cardinals have
been a terrible home team going back to last year.
There one eight and one and they're the worst in
the NFL. They ranked last in the NFL and points
per game and yards per game at home in that span.
(34:35):
Seahawks thirty, Cardinals twenty. Penny likes you to going with
the Seahawks four more more. Alright, Next up Minnesota at Chicago,
too and one versus two and one. It's on CBS.
Jim Nance and Tony Romo. Bears open a three point favorite.
There are two and a half point favorite now mild
(34:55):
weather at Soldier Field seventy seven degrees. I'm going with
the public, which is not a good thing, but I'm
taking the Vikings here. Minnesota is gonna have to ride
that Dalvin Cook train. Cook leads the NFL and rushing
he's off to an Adrian Peterson type start, and Mike
Zimmer he's running the hide the quarterback offense, trying to
hide Kirk Cousins. Vikings are second in the NFL and
(35:17):
rushing yards per game. Olio Ravens have been better in Minnesota.
They average the second fewest passing yards per game. That
actually will help the Vikings win this game because the
Bears are a very opportunistic defense, a h picking off
quarterbacks and whatnot, So the Micings will play close to
the vest. Does Bears have a great defense, They had
a dominant performance there against Chicago, or a gainst Washington
(35:40):
and Chicago. But I don't trust Rubisky not only a quarterback,
he's terrible, twenty seventh ranked quarterback in the NFL. This
game will be tight. Vikings will pull the upset Minnesota
twenty four the Bears twenty three. Think with Minnesota all
right next to Jacksonville at Denver, it's on CBS. Andrew
(36:03):
Catalan and James Lofton have the call. It'll be sunny eighties,
six degrees that the stadium may now call empower field
at Mile High. I don't know if I like that
or not. I know, but they didn't ask me. I
didn't cut a check. Uh. I'm gonna take now the
line Broncos a three point favorite. I'm gonna take Jacksonville.
And I'm also going with the public on this. To me,
(36:25):
this matchup favorite Jacksonville. Everyone's waiting for Gardner midshow to
suck and have a bad game. The guy seems unfazed
by all this. He's unencumbered by the level of competition.
I expect more good stuff. He's accurate. When you're accurate,
you don't have many bad games when you're accurate. I'm
in on the Minshoe mania. So far in twenty nineteen,
(36:45):
Denver has a total of three quarterback hits, no sacks,
and no turnovers. They stink el stink aru And as
Emmanuel Sanders said after the game last week against the Packers,
the Broncos are living in a world of suck. Denver's
law seven straight games while scoring fewer than seventeen points
per game. I know that includes last year, obviously, but
(37:07):
the trend has continued. The main reason I like Jacksonville.
What is their moniker? What are they known as Sacksonville?
Right Joe Flacco has been in the pressure cooker all season.
Entering this week, jump ball Joe has been hurried twenty
two times, most in the NFL. And you look at Jacksonville. Now,
they had nine sacks last week, but they're tied for
(37:27):
the NFL leading with thirteen sacks. They will be all
over Joe Flacco's junk. I'm taking Jacksonville to win the
game out right, Go Jags go to seventeen penning On
the opposite way with the Denver Broncos. You want a
quick fun fact that I was gonna do a trivial
(37:48):
but let's give you the fun factor, uh this weekend
in Denver. Gardner Minshew might have used this on the
Overnight Show last night, but Gardner Minshew can join Blank
as the only player in NFL history with a ninety
five or better quarterback rating in each of their first
four games. The answer, who do you think get? Is
real quick? It's Aaron Brooks. Aaron Brooks Now, it's Mark Ripping.
(38:16):
How obscure? I love when the answer is obscure? How
obscure is that most people super Bowl quarterback? Though? Mark Alright?
Sunday Night Football, Dallas three and Oh at New Orleans
two and one. It's on NBC without Michaels and Chris Collinsworth,
the Little Sunday Night Action. Cowboys are two and a
half point favor They opened it one and a half.
The pick I'm taking the Cowboys, I'm taking again. The
(38:39):
Saints were essentially handed the game last week by the Seahawks.
They played football follies. They lost the statuet New Orleans,
they won the game. That is not a sustainable formula.
New Orleans average just five point three yards per play.
They had only two hundred sixty total yards. Seattle averaged
almost seven yards per play. They had five fifteen yards
(39:01):
fifteen yards, and they lost the game. In other words,
it's unsustainable. As we said, Teddy Bridgewater is gonna have
to get better. The Cowboys have a pretty good defense.
The Saints need more chunk plays. He's averaged less than
seven yards per attempt Bridgewater, and I know why he's
doing that. They're playing it close to the vest Minnesota
conservative dumb down offense. But you gotta gotta give me more.
(39:23):
You gotta give me more. The Cowboys with a win
would be off to their best start in twelve years
since seven when they started out five and oh, Dallas.
Dallas has the Packers next week, all right, so they
have the package next week? Will they be caught in
that spot looking at I say no. It's a national
televised game. Uh, you don't get extra credit for beating
(39:46):
Drew Brees and the Saints. But this is a golden
opportunity to win in a hostile environment. Cowboys will pull
it out. Dallas one. New Orleans is twenty three penny
tailing your hair going to Cowboys. Last one, all right?
Last one? Monday Night Football, Cincinnati, oh in three, Pittsburgh,
(40:07):
oh and three. It's on ESPN, Joe Testa Tour and
Booger Booger McFarland. The Steelers opened a three and a
half point favorite. They are currently favorite by four. The
pick is in Oh, p you what stinks? I'm taking
the Bengals. Uh. The reason why Cincinnati actually has more playmakers.
It seems odd to say that in a Bengal Steelers
(40:29):
game because normally that's the other way. But the Bengals
have more playmakers here. This should be a field goal game.
This should be anybody's game. You're getting over a field goal.
I like taking the points in games like that, Andy
Dalton is a better quarterback than Mason Rudolph. Very rarely
is Andy Dalton the better quarterback in the matchup the Bengals,
As I said, they have more weaponry. The Steelers are
(40:49):
the second worst team in third down defense in the NFL,
so there's an opportunity for the Bengals to keep the
change moving. Only the Redskins have been worse. And my
favorite stat is some up the lazy river of mediocrity
of Pittsburgh is Mason Rudolph in his first start with
the Steelers against the forty niners. You know many passes
(41:09):
he completed. We used this on the Overnight Show, but
maybe you missed it. How many passes he completed that
traveled more than one yard downfield? The answer is too
that it not happens. It's a guy named Tim Tebow
in his heyday. So I realized I'm going against the
trend here. Over the years, Pittsburgh has been pure cash,
(41:31):
straight cash hoby in primetime games. They're ten and five
against the spread the last fifteen Monday Night Football games
previous fifteen instances. But this is a bad team and it's,
you know, be a close game you like the points
divisional game Bengals twenty Steelers nineteen paying agreement here going
(41:53):
with the Bungles. All right, that'll put the baby to bed.
Thank you. Gag on Gascony and email us a Real
Fifth Hour with F I F T H Real Fifth
Hour at Ben mallor follow us on Twitter at Ben
Mallory whatever your Twitter account is, Guests, David J. Gascon Yes,
you can follow me there of course. All right, have
a great weekend. We'll see how we did. We'll have
(42:15):
the next radio show Sunday night in the Monday, and
we will have the the reaction to how we did
on Benny versus Penny. Have a great weekend. Thank you
for downloading
Welcome players, You're welcome. Are it's time now, Penny Penny,
that it is. We are back at it, trying to
make you money and trying not to embarrass ourselves picking
NFL games as we head into week four and now
we already had the Thursday night game. You know the
(00:23):
outcome there, We had the Eagles. Uh, that was the
the pick. We picked the Eagles on the game. So
we'll we'll we'll get into the rest of the weekend.
Now we will not be talking about the Jets. They
are not playing, will not be talking about the forty Niners.
Jets are oh in three forty Niners or three and oh,
but those are the teams we've started the bye weeks.
And there's only two teams that are by on the
(00:43):
bye week this week, so we're gonna talk about them.
But guess God is with me on this now. Guest Gone,
you are the keeper of the stats. Before we look forward,
we must look back and see how we did here
as we try to buck the odds and pick winners
and and all that in the NFL. And so the
question here Gascon is how did we do pressing our luck?
(01:06):
Pressing our luck a week ago? Man? It was a
bounce back week for you versus the Penny, and it
was a dynamite Week number three you are twelve up
and just four down. And week number three, that's a
job that this is three. By the way, this is
tried too and tested. Week week one you were thirteen
(01:30):
and three and then week number three twelve and four.
So that is lights out for two to three weeks.
We will forget Week two. I was my week too, right,
it was like six, six and ten. Yeah, so I
was four under five hundred then, but I'm way over
five hundred on the year, like if you bet every game,
which you shouldn't do. Yeah, And I think the biggest
thing for you is that you finally got away after
two weeks. You finally got away from the Miami Dolphins,
(01:53):
finally divorced yourself from that. Yeah. I learned a valuable,
valuable lesson there. And for those that are new to
this podcast, many versus the Penny. We did this on
radio probably for fifteen years or so, we did many
versus the Penny, but I feel like it works better
here on the podcast because I would I'm obsessive with
these notes, right, I I try to absorb all this material,
(02:15):
So I wouldn't I would put a lot of time
handicapping these dopey games, and I wouldn't be able to
get it all out there because we because on the radio,
we have time restraints that we don't have on the
podcast and all that. So my advice has always been
people email me from time to time they say, well,
what's this all about? Should I just bet every game? No,
you should not bet every game. Your money management is
the key to gambling. It's becoming more popular. But money
(02:37):
management is important here. But it's also the way I
look at this is that you you. I will give
you my opinion on the game. Now, if my opinion
aligns with your opinion, that's a game you should probably
been on because we agree. But and and sometimes we
maybe I'll be able to twist your mind around doing
mind mind hack and be able to twist you around
(02:58):
and do a different way. But so so that's how
you should do betty versus Penny. But let's get right
into it. We I did bring back some questions. I
got some complaints of people, Hey, you didn't put any
dopey questions in. So we'll get trivial, which is a
word uni Loony used to say to me when I
would do the instant trivia and all that, and so again.
The goal this year that we're pressing our luck. Big money.
We want big money. No wammies, no wammies. All right,
(03:24):
all right, here we go Carolina at Houston one in
two versus two and one. It's on Fox with Kenny
Albert and Ronde Barber. The Texans opened a four point favorite.
There a four and a half point favorite. The pick
is in. I'm gonna take the Carolina Panthers here. Now
a couple of reasons why I know people are not
buying what Kyle Allen is selling. He only played one
(03:47):
game here this year, but he pitched a gem in
Arizona last week. This is a much more difficult test.
I believe the value is on the side of Carolina.
The pa there's played a complete game last week. They
will look to use that obviously, is a catalyst there
to chest springboard their season back to after losing back
(04:09):
to back home games. How do you make up for
a home loss win a game on the road. That's
how how you do it? Uh. And then secondly, when
you bet on the Texas, you're dependent on Deshaun Watson,
which Deshaun Watson will show up. Watson has been like
the volatile stock, right up and down and all the round. Uh.
For example, he played like flatulence against Jacksonville a couple
(04:31):
of weeks back, and then was dominant Deshaun Watson against
the Chargers in l A this past week. But that
lack of consistency is disturbing as a gambler, and the
Panthers have an above average pass rush. We know the
offensive line for the Texas has much maligned and whatnot.
I expect this to be a fifty fifty game, which
(04:52):
means gonna be a tight game, even though it's not
a divisional game, it's an interconference game. But I'm really
banking on the act that I'm right that Kyle Allen
is a at least a slightly above average quarterback, that
he's somehow got the cheek code here and teams haven't
figured him out yet. And if I'm right about that
and everything was better because of Kyle allen better quarterback play,
(05:14):
then Carolina will be in the winner circles. I think
they win the game out right. I don't need the points.
I'll take two points. Carolina Houston. Unlike you, the Penny
likes to Shan Watson will take the Houston Texans. Be
sure to catch live editions of The Ben Miller Show
weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
(05:36):
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. All right,
let's get trivial. Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield five interceptions in
the fourth quarter through the first three weeks of the season.
That is tied with Blank for the most by any
quarterback over his team's first three games of a season
in the last twenty five years. Again, Baker Mayfield five
(06:00):
interceptions in the fourth quarter this year, tied with Blank,
the most by any qb over the first three games
of the season in the past twenty five years. I'll
fill in the blank in a couple of minutes. So
if you have the answer, just hold onto it. Just
hold on to it. Next up, Cleveland at Baltimore. It's
on CUBAZ with Greg Gumbel and Trent Green. The Ravens
(06:21):
opened up a five point favorite. They are a seven
point favorite at home in Maryland. Give me Sonny and
eighties six degrees at kickoff at M ANDT Bank Stadium.
I'm taking the Brownies in this game, I'm gonna take Cleveland.
I know that's not the popular pick by popular people,
but I'll tell you why. First of all, Cleveland, they're
(06:42):
in the eye of the storm right now. This offseason
makeover has not paid dividends, obviously, yet they're under five hundred.
They had some embarrassing losses to start the year. Here
this would be the perfect time to turn the ship around.
Here with Baker Mayfield, who has been a total bust
of an abject failure at quarterback. He'ste and bad throws
(07:04):
in the NFL. I'm surprised he's not higher than that.
But it's not like the receivers have dropped that many passes.
They dropped six passes, but that that number wouldn't go
up that much. Baker Mayfield's completing fifty six point nine
percent of his passes. That is worst among quarterbacks who
have started three games. There's no one worse than Baker
Mayfield as far as accuracy. His quarterback rating of seventy
(07:26):
is also dead last in the NFL garbage So why
am I taking the Cleveland Browns? Why would I do that?
Because I don't believe in the Ravens defense and any
there's a scenario where Mayfield can have a breakoud game.
The Ravens defense is a soft spot there. Twenty seven
and past defense ahead of the Dolphins by three yards.
(07:46):
All right, they're barely ahead of the Dolphins. This is
an opportunity for Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry to abuse
that secondary. But Mayfield's gotta get him the ball. There's
gonna be open receivers here. There's gonna be chunk plays, big,
big yardage place here for the Browns this week. They
gotta take advantage now. The second thing and you know,
the end of the yang here is Lamar Jackson. Uh.
(08:09):
The story is the first two weeks, Lamar Jackson has
has come come of age. He's evolved. He's he's now
a legit passing quarterback. Well, based on last week, that
looks like smoking mirrors against He put up those great
numbers against horseship teams, the Dolphins and the Cardinals, and
then he got smashed around by the Vanilla Kansas City
(08:30):
Chiefs defense. He was atrocious. Not only was the quarterback,
he was a trocy hadn't uh you know, no touchdowns
last week, no touchdown passes average barely six yards per attempt,
barely fifty completion percentage, and had a passer rating of seventy.
And that's that's that's the old Lamar Jackson from last year.
That kind of performance that you expected, and and and
(08:53):
the other thing. You're the reason like the Browns. Browns
have a pretty good defense, pretty good even the tenth
best past the fence in the NFL. Cleveland. You look
at this here, they really they the two games they
lost here, they had some issues. They played well against
the Jets, a bad team. Obviously the Ravens a better team.
But if the if the Browns can win this game.
(09:14):
The last time they get off to a two start
on the road was all right, n uh. In this rivalry,
the road team has covered twelve of the last eight team.
But as we say every week, one of the mantras
of our show Benny versus the penny. Anytime you get
over seven points in a divisional game. Divisional games are
usually closer. You don't ask questions, you take two points,
(09:37):
You put a smile on your face. Browns will win
this game out right, Browns twenty four Ravens twenty penny
is telling you here and going with the Cleveland Browns.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Let's pay off the Let's get trivial question. Baker Mayfield
(09:59):
five in or exceptions in the fourth quarter, tied with
blank for the most by any quarterback over the first
three games of the season in the past twenty five years.
What's your answer, guest? Normally I think you'd go with
a Manning here, but I will go deeper into the
pocket and I'll say Brett Farve. Yeah, Brett far is
not a bad option. He would be at the tail
end of that last twenty five year run. Actually not
(10:22):
the tail and the second half of his career. That's
that's not it. Uh. It is Ryan fitzpatro Yan Fitzpatrick.
And it was only a couple of years ago. Uh boy,
it's hard to I think he was in Buffalo. He's
changes teams every year. He changes teams like Floyd maywe
their changes underwear. It's a daily experience, al right. Next up,
(10:44):
keep the train moving. Gascon wants to go quick. He
wants to get the hell out of here. Washington, oh
and three at the New York Giants one and two.
It's on Fox. You Better wash. Tom Brennan and Chris
Spielman on the call. Here. The Giants opened a three
point favorite, actually a two point favorite. There a three
point favorite. The weather mild whether seventies seven agrees, mostly
(11:08):
sunny in Jersey at MetLife Stadium, scheduled for kickoff. I've
gone back and forth in this game, but ultimately i
decided that I'm gonna take the Giants. I don't like
this per se because I'm going with the public. Uh
And and there's an obsession with Danny dimes mania here
Daniel Jones, who gave the Giants franchise a shot of
adrenaline for a team that was in disarray. But remember,
(11:33):
the perception would be much different here. If Tampa May
makes that field goal, You'll be like, well, he played well,
but they didn't win the game. Right. He would have
eaten an l in his maiden voyage as a quarterback.
But Jones, he was he was the only bugaboos. He
He fumbled a couple of times, and and you fumble,
you know that's a fifty fifty thing when you fumble
and all that. But I read a stat that Pro
(11:56):
Football Focus had that since they've been around doun. Daniel
Jones is the first quarterback ever pressured at least twelve
times that had a perfect passer rating. So he was
cool under pressure. Who is a cucumber as the old
cliche goes, And he was pressured one percent of his
snaps last week, So I bring that up. You know,
(12:18):
the Redskins do not have a great defense. They're trying
to redeem themselves here. That's the second thing embarrassed on
National TV. They're down twenty eight to nothing to the
Chicago Bears. Uh and so it's great that they want
to bounce back, but can they Like Washington is a
team that is a hot mess. They play hard for
Jay Gruden. They have some grit, they have some pesky players,
(12:41):
but you gotta have talent and they are lacking in
that department. If one player sums up the Redskins, it's
Landon Collins. Landing Collins is the guy that the Redskins
just made the highest paid safety in NFL history give
at eighty four million dollar contract. So far this season,
the highest is paid safety in NFL history has zero interceptions,
(13:04):
zero fumbles, force, zero sacks, zero passes defended, and he's
also missed a bunch of tackles. You talk about a
return on investment for for the Redskins from landing Collins
and in the Washington secondary has been been embarrassing. I
believe that Daniel Jones will play very well in this game.
(13:26):
He'll put up his numbers, he will turn the ball
over a couple of times. It'll be a back and forth,
high scoring game. Redskins will put up some points against
the soft cheese Giants defense. But in the end, Giants
thirty four, Redskins thirty penny, who's going with the g man.

(14:08):
sixteen to sixteen and a half. The line I have
says sixteen, so we'll use that. Uh and I am
gonna take the charges here. I'm gonna take the charges.
I don't love this pick per se, but the Chargers
because they've been malingering. They have, they've been in games,
they've lost here, but they've made some some stupid place
Philip Rivers in particularly late in games, the old war horse,
(14:31):
Philip Rivers, the old veteran. The Chargers ranked fifth in
the NFL in total yards, but there are twenty one
in points per game, so there's a lack of execution
in the red zone. And Philip Rivers has been great
for three quarters. He can't put that fourth quarter uh
stigma behind the first three quarters, Rivers is completing over
(14:51):
seventy of his passes no interception, but in the fourth
quarter he's completing barely fifty of his path no touchdowns,
two interceptions. In the first three games of the year,
he's been back. Now the Miami game is usually an
extra bye week here, but you still have to show up.
Dating back the week seventeen of last season, the Dolphins, congratulations,
(15:16):
they have become the first team to lose four consecutive
games by at least twenty five points. You gotta go
back to the Boston Patriots in in the nineteen nineteen
sixty nine seasons, the last time that happens. So congratulations
to the Dolphins franchise. You've done a wonderful job. I
(15:36):
did find a positive. The Dolphins of their passes have
traveled over twenty yards down field, alright, twenty yards down here.
That's the highest in the NFL. Of course, most of
those passes dropped incomplete. And you've got Josh Rosen, who
I love how bad the Dolphins are that people are saying, well,
(15:57):
Josh Rosen was a breath of fresh air. He had
a passer rating of seventy three and completed fifty of
his passes and is considered and no touchdowns at halftime,
and people say, oh, I'm very impressive, and all I mean,
it's ridiculous. Now. Typically I would say take the points,
take the points, don't bet the game, take the points.
But the Dolphins aren't trying. They are not trying. The
(16:20):
Charges will be the desperate team here. They don't want
to start out one and three. One and three is
a bad situation. Two and two is acceptable. Chargers thirty
seven Dolphins seventy penny agrees with you. Going with the
bolts all right. Next up, it's Penning versus the Penny
will keep the train moving. Oakland one and two at Indianapolis.
(16:41):
This game is on CBS and it's a game with
Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. They will call the game.
The Colts open a six point favorite. They are favored
by seven. The weather in this situation four degrees, not
that it matters. It's in the dome, will be partly
sunny if you're in Indianapolis. The pick is in on
(17:03):
the Raiders and the Colts. I've gone back and forth
on this game, but ultimately I've I've landed on taking
the Raiders, and I'm gonna take the Raiders on the points,
and I understand any strategy here. They're gonna ride the
Marlon Mack Express train and they're gonna play close to
the vest with Jacobe Brissette, power running game and all
that stuff. UH and any should jump out to an
(17:25):
early lead. The Colts have been very good at home.
They won their last seven home games going back to
last year, back when Andrew Luck was there, and they
have not won eight consecutive games since the Peyton Manning
years back in the first decade of the two thousand's.
Here and so we'll see that the Raiders traditionally have
been terrible against the Colts in any they haven't won there.
(17:46):
They don't play that often, but they haven't won there
since and that was when our former Fox Sports Radio colleague,
Jim Mora I was coaching and Rich Gannon was the
Raiders quarterback the last time they won in Indianapolis. But
the reason that I the many reason I bet against
the Colts is the public is laying the lumber. This
(18:07):
is one of the most lopsided games this weekend. Over
sevent of the bets have been on the Colts. I
love to be a contrarian. I love to be against
the public and be on the side of the sharp guys.
So getting a touchdown with a team that is still
trying to win. Unlike the Dolphins, I figured the Raiders
haven't completely given up hope. They're not a hopeless bunch yet,
(18:30):
even though they look like a Pop Warner team against
the Vikings last week, I expect a better effort, a
more competitive game. You don't really get blown out back
to back games. So and also the Colts could be
looking ahead. I believe they play the Chiefs in Week five.
Indianapolis will win the game, but they won't cover the spread.
Colts twenty eight, Raiders twenty three. Not this time for
(18:53):
the penny. They like the Indianapolis Colts. All right, we'll
keep it going. Next up Kansas City three and oh
at Detroit to oh and one. It's on Fox. You
better watch Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis and the Fox
box that Rocks calling the game. The Chiefs opened to
six point favorite. They are currently a six and a
half point favorite. I'm told this is the first game
(19:16):
that Patrick Mahomes has played indoors as an NFL player.
He used to dominate when he was a Texas Tech
in dome environments, but this is the first time as
an NFL quarterback. The pick is in and I am
taking the Lions. I'm gonna take the Lions here to
cover the spread. And this is the ultimate contrarian pick here.
It is uh. This is another acid test for Destroit.
(19:40):
The Lions defense. I feel like they have overachieved that
some of the numbers are skewed because they gave up
a bunch of points in the fourth quarter to tie
the Cardinals. But now they go into the lab against
the Chiefs where Kansas City has scored twenty five or
more points in twenty five consecutive games. That's a long
his street in NFL history. But I actually like the
(20:04):
Lions defense to hold their own here Trey Flowers and
snacks Harrelson. When I say hold their own, I'm saying
that the Chiefs aren't gonna score fifty in this particular game.
But you also have about a fifty percent chance to
win a bet when you take around seven points. Through
the first three games of the season, all right, forty
(20:27):
seven point nine percent of NFL games have been decided
by six points or less. And uh, and so you've
got that working for you as well. And is this
a letdown spot for Kansas City? Why would it be
a letdown spot? The Chiefs just won a big game
against the Ravens last week, a game that many people
had circled on the schedule earlier in the year. See
(20:49):
how they would do against Lamar Jackson. Now they play
an NFC opponent, a team nobody gets up to play
the Lions. And then you have another showcase game next
week against the Colts, which is a bigger game for
Kansas City. Uh, She's still win the game. But I
believe they'll give up some puts. The Chiefs defense will
(21:10):
will regress here, and I'm not buying there. The real
McCoy Chiefs thirty four, Lions twenty eight. No chance in
hell of pennies following in this one. They're going with
Kansas City. You can have knocked yourself out with Kansas City,
and the Chiefs should win the game by ten fifteen
(21:31):
thousand points. But this Lions team, I like the way
they're playing right now. They're off the grid. Uh so
I'm going with it. All right, let's get trivial again here.
It's penny versus the penny. As you know from the podcast,
Frank Gore was the leading rusher for either team in
Buffalo's win over Cincinnati last week. Right, he led the
(21:53):
game in rushing yards. At age thirty six, he is
the oldest player to be leading rusher in an NFL
game since Blank. All right, since Blank. Frank Gore, at
age thirty six, the oldest player to lead an NFL
game in rushing yards since Blank. Will give me the
answer in a couple of minutes. Next up New England
three and oh at Buffalo three and oh it's on CBS.
(22:16):
I an Eagle and Dan Fouts will be an Orchard Park,
New York's gonna be a a nice day in in
in Orchard Part, New York, sixty five degrees, mostly sunny.
Patriots open a six point favorite. They are a seven
point favorite. Now. I went back and forth on this
game also, but I settled on taking I'm gonna cover
(22:36):
my my eyes here and I'm gonna hold my nose,
which apparently is running. I'm gonna take the Buffalo Bills.
I And this is a great Patriots team. They're off
to the greatest start in this last twenty years of
dynasty for Bill Belichick. They appear to be the cream
of the crop. They've they've gone scorched earth against the
weaklings of the NFL, and the Bills haven't really played
(22:56):
anybody of No, they played the Bangals and the two
teams in who are claiming to be from New York,
the Giants and the Jets even like playing New Jersey.
This is not great competition. And this is the degree
of difficulty goes up a lot for Buffalo, but it
also goes up a lot for the Patriots. The Steelers
appear to be a bad a bad team judging by
their record, and they didn't show up for that game
(23:18):
in New England. And then they played the Dolphins and
they played the Jets. So the Patriots haven't played anybody
yet either. So that to me, that's equal. Uh. And
you know, I feel like, you know, it's a little
insane to the membrane here because New England's point differential
is thirty six points higher than any other team. The
Cowboys are number two, thirty six points better than the
numbers are skewed. And now then the thing that scares
(23:40):
me about Buffalo, and you gotta factor this in Josh
Allen is he's a compass rose. He doesn't know where
the ball is going and could go north, southeast, west,
you name it. And he turns the ball over a
lot in his young career, and that will kill you.
That will that will make this a thirty ford a
nothing type of game if he plays a game like that.
(24:02):
But I believe Buffalo and they're not gonna win the game.
I don't think I'm crazy. I'm not that crazy. Like
a ship out a shifout rats rat, as they say,
is that the phrase guest ship house house rat to
pick pick Buffalo to win this game. Uh, However, they
have more than a putcher's chance. They can hang in there.
It's a divisional game. Remember the bed rock. We talked
(24:24):
about it, Benny versus the penny. When the wise guys
give you seven points and more in the divisional game,
you take the points. Even in a Bill's Patriots game,
this is a much bigger game for the Buffalo Bills.
This is an acid test game to show that there's
some legitimacy that this team is not a fraud. And
so they're at home a lot of enthusiasm there. People
will be throwing dildos on the field that Tom Brady.
(24:46):
Uh So, it's a big statement game. It's not as
big a statement game for the Patriots. I mean they've
been they put they're like every every years they wait
till the playoffs for their statement games. Patriots will win
the game, but the Bills will keep it close. Low
scoring game. Patriots twenty Bills sixteen. Penny likes you. They're
going with the Bills and the mafia. All right. Next up,
(25:10):
let's pay off the trivia. Let's get trivia. The question
was Frank gored at age thirty six, with the leading
rusher in the Bills Bengals game leading rusher there, and
he's the oldest player to lead the NFL an NFL
game and rushing since blank. Alright, gascot, you like old
guys who are older than me. What's your answer. I'm
(25:31):
gonna go with Curtis Martin on this one. It's not
a bad guess, but it's not right the correct answer,
and you should kick yourself because this guy is a devil.
Bronco Mike Anderson, No, John Elway. John Elway, believe it
or not. At age thirty eight and what I believe
(25:52):
was his final season in a December game, he was
the leading rusher, the quarterback, the leading rusher, uh in
in that game at age thirty. So that's that's the
record to break. And that seems like a record that
will last long. I don't how many running actually played
to the forty. Maybe Frank Gore will be that guy.
(26:12):
All right? Next up, I say, you said running back
and it wasn't thinking quarterback, but I said leading rusher. Yeah. Sorry,
that's a good question, thank you. Uh. Next up, Tennessee
at Atlanta. A couple of one in two teams. It's
on CBS. Former Laker and Nicks played by play guy
Spiro Adidas and Adam Archiletta, who's claimed to famous working
(26:33):
with me at the NBC Sports Network. Uh Falcons opened
up a three and a half point favorite. They're currently
favored by four. I'm all in on the Tennessee Titans,
which sounds crazy the way they played against Jacksonville, but
the Falcons are teetering on the brink. Actually, both these
teams are. Dan Quinn is barely hanging on to his job.
He's living in that fish bowl in Atlanta and outside
(26:55):
of a turnaround, he's dead man coaching here. Atlanta has
been by and large a second division outfit. The Falcons
have a feeble run defense, and that's the main reason
I expect Derrick Henry to have a big bounce back
boomerang game here for Tennessee, the entire team out of Nashville.
(27:16):
We'll find out what kind of pride they have at
being embarrassed on National TV last week. They've had a
lectra time, lectra time to get ready to play the
Thursday night game last week. Plus Marcus Mariota, who you
don't want to bet on Mariota. He had a backwards
performance there. It's almost like he needs to get a
GPS to find the end zone. It's Brotal, the guy
leads the NFL with seventeen sacks has generally been either
(27:40):
bad or average every game. Uh that said, this is
a much better Titans team that will show up this
week and again trying to avoid the one in three start.
This This is a team that has matched up the
last couple of years very well against the the week
lenks of the end fell that the soft serve the
(28:01):
non physical teams. Atlanta is in that category. Uh so.
And also, I am I am told by some of
my moles here that the big the big whales, the
big gamblers. Uh, they are all over the Titans. I'm
gonna take there, all over the Titans. I'm on their side.
Titans twenty four Falcons. One man, this is scary for
(28:26):
the Penny too. She has gone with the Titans. Alright,
so we agree on that game. Next up, let's get
to the Lake games. All right. We're in the late
games here, as we keep the ship moving on Benny
versus the Penny, Tampa Bay one and two at the
L A. Rra Ams on Fox. It's on Fox. Chris
Myers and Darryl Johnson. I want you to know, guest
on that I I might actually go to this game
(28:49):
because I got a message from a former colleague of
mine at Fox Sports Radio, the great t J Reeves,
who I followed him on the weekends, and he is
the radio sideline reporter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and
he's gonna be intended. He asked me if I was
gonna be the Game's like, well, I'm not planning on
going to the game, and then he told me he
was gonna be there. So I said, okay, I'll see
(29:09):
if I can get in there at the last minute,
and then I can I can choose. It's kind of good.
We haven't I haven't taught to him a long time.
He's he's down in Tampa. He's a regular down There
was a weekend host here, all right, Fox Sports Radio.
So that'll be great you get to Yeah, I love
I love t J. And we had some fun with
him back in the day, and so it's always good.
He's part of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association, Guest,
(29:30):
which you will soon be part of once they hear
this podcast. But most of those people go up and
up right, they they go to climb onto higher stages.
Is that accurate? Uh? Not everyone? Uh, We've got guys
making French fries, not everyone, you know. All Right, Well,
I hope, so, I hope, I'm I hope. I'm a
part of that upper echelon. You're just as likely to
be the face of the NFL network like andrews Ceciliano
(29:53):
or make make cheeseburgers and push shopping carts, so that
those are good jobs people need. But anyway, alright, so
Tampa Bay and the Rams. The Rams open a nine
point favorite, They're a ten point favorites, gonna be seventy
five degrees that kick off at the Colisseum in Los Angeles.
I'm gonna take the Buccaneers here, even though I love
the Rams Tampa Bay, their defense is is not horrific.
(30:18):
Their fourteenth and yards, they're actually better this year than
the Cowboys statistically. And I love how Shaq Barrett, the
guy that got away from Denver, has played. He's the
new QB Killer for the Tambay Buccaneers, bringing back memories
of war and Sap and some of those great uh
Brooks and some of those great defensive players back in
the day. As he's off to a record setting start
(30:38):
for sacks the first three weeks of the year. The Rams.
The main reason not to take the Rams is because
they have no dimensions to their offense. They're a grinded
out team right now. Jared Golf has yet to have
a dominant performance. Todd Gurley is half the man he
used to be in the backfield. Uh. And so I
(30:59):
know the Ms are somehow three, you know, but they're
doing it with ugly, grind out wins. They're not getting
a lot of style points. You said, well, Tampa Bay
is a bad team. They should blow the doors. Yeah,
they should. But Jamis Winston, who's played very well in
the first half of games, he's been a mistake prone
mess in the second half. I saw a stat his
passer rating is a hundred eleven before halftime. In the
(31:22):
second half it's below sixty. And the Rams mob squad,
that defense is too legit to quit. They have a
very good defense. There's some of these veterans they brought
in so far have found the fountain of youth. But again,
the main reason that I'm gonna bet against the Rams
to cover is Jared Goff. He's like a lost puppy
(31:42):
dog and you're gonna have to keep scoring poth Now.
The thing that could change this if if Famous Jamis
throws three interceptions and a couple of pick six is.
Obviously the Rams will win this game forty to ten.
But I say that doesn't happen. Buccaneers old hang around
ten points is too many and in the Rams also
have I believe they played the Thursday game next week.
I think they played the Seahawks next week, so they
(32:04):
have a short short week peek ahead NFC West rival
Rams thirty one bucks, three penny going with the Rams
all night? Damn right, can ram it all day? You
can ram it all right? All right? Seattle two and one,
(32:25):
Arizona O two and one, It's on Fox, and get
another Dick Stockton game for the Arizona Cardinals. I feel
like Dick Stockton is the personal broadcaster for the Arizona Cardinals. Uh.
I think this is. And it's at least the second,
if not the third, Cardinals game. Mr Stockton has done.
Dick Stockton and Mark schlay Rith on the call on
(32:47):
this game. The Seahawks opened at three point favorite. They're
favorite by five, and I am all over Seattle in
this game. I don't no gonna like road favorites. That's
a bad formula. But I'm gonna take the Sea Seahawks.
Here a couple of reasons why number one Russell Wilson
is licking his chops. The Cardinals are missing both starting
(33:07):
defensive backs. You could not ask for a better opportunity
to go blitz Creek if you're Seattle. I guesst a
divisional opponent. I sometimes I say, well, watch out for
the wounded bear, but don't watch out for the wounded Cardinal.
I again, I typically don't like road favorites, but this
is an exception of the rule. I also love the
fact Seattle lost last week, so you have the zig
(33:29):
zag theory in play here, a little more pep in
their step. Russell Wilson has been great coming off a loss.
I think sixteen and eight the number against the spread
over over the years here in that situation recent years,
well not that recent, but but anyway. Secondly, uh, you
know who has the most bad throws in the NFL?
(33:52):
Which quarterback has the most bad throws? Ding Ning? Nick
Nick Ning? This guy has been overmatched by the NFL.
It's not his fault. She have been the number one
pick Anyone with half a brain knows that uh Murray
is pacing the NFL and bad throws. He leads the
NFL and pass attempts, but he's not even in the
top ten in yards because he's averaging six point one
(34:12):
yards per a tempt That is thirty in the NFL.
Only Mitch Trabiskie has been worse among quarterbacks. We have
started three games, so it's a hard sell. Cardinals have
been a terrible home team going back to last year.
There one eight and one and they're the worst in
the NFL. They ranked last in the NFL and points
per game and yards per game at home in that span.
(34:35):
Seahawks thirty, Cardinals twenty. Penny likes you to going with
the Seahawks four more more. Alright, Next up Minnesota at Chicago,
too and one versus two and one. It's on CBS.
Jim Nance and Tony Romo. Bears open a three point favorite.
There are two and a half point favorite now mild
(34:55):
weather at Soldier Field seventy seven degrees. I'm going with
the public, which is not a good thing, but I'm
taking the Vikings here. Minnesota is gonna have to ride
that Dalvin Cook train. Cook leads the NFL and rushing
he's off to an Adrian Peterson type start, and Mike
Zimmer he's running the hide the quarterback offense, trying to
hide Kirk Cousins. Vikings are second in the NFL and
(35:17):
rushing yards per game. Olio Ravens have been better in Minnesota.
They average the second fewest passing yards per game. That
actually will help the Vikings win this game because the
Bears are a very opportunistic defense, a h picking off
quarterbacks and whatnot, So the Micings will play close to
the vest. Does Bears have a great defense, They had
a dominant performance there against Chicago, or a gainst Washington
(35:40):
and Chicago. But I don't trust Rubisky not only a quarterback,
he's terrible, twenty seventh ranked quarterback in the NFL. This
game will be tight. Vikings will pull the upset Minnesota
twenty four the Bears twenty three. Think with Minnesota all
right next to Jacksonville at Denver, it's on CBS. Andrew
(36:03):
Catalan and James Lofton have the call. It'll be sunny eighties,
six degrees that the stadium may now call empower field
at Mile High. I don't know if I like that
or not. I know, but they didn't ask me. I
didn't cut a check. Uh. I'm gonna take now the
line Broncos a three point favorite. I'm gonna take Jacksonville.
And I'm also going with the public on this. To me,
(36:25):
this matchup favorite Jacksonville. Everyone's waiting for Gardner midshow to
suck and have a bad game. The guy seems unfazed
by all this. He's unencumbered by the level of competition.
I expect more good stuff. He's accurate. When you're accurate,
you don't have many bad games when you're accurate. I'm
in on the Minshoe mania. So far in twenty nineteen,
(36:45):
Denver has a total of three quarterback hits, no sacks,
and no turnovers. They stink el stink aru And as
Emmanuel Sanders said after the game last week against the Packers,
the Broncos are living in a world of suck. Denver's
law seven straight games while scoring fewer than seventeen points
per game. I know that includes last year, obviously, but
(37:07):
the trend has continued. The main reason I like Jacksonville.
What is their moniker? What are they known as Sacksonville?
Right Joe Flacco has been in the pressure cooker all season.
Entering this week, jump ball Joe has been hurried twenty
two times, most in the NFL. And you look at Jacksonville. Now,
they had nine sacks last week, but they're tied for
(37:27):
the NFL leading with thirteen sacks. They will be all
over Joe Flacco's junk. I'm taking Jacksonville to win the
game out right, Go Jags go to seventeen penning On
the opposite way with the Denver Broncos. You want a
quick fun fact that I was gonna do a trivial
(37:48):
but let's give you the fun factor, uh this weekend
in Denver. Gardner Minshew might have used this on the
Overnight Show last night, but Gardner Minshew can join Blank
as the only player in NFL history with a ninety
five or better quarterback rating in each of their first
four games. The answer, who do you think get? Is
real quick? It's Aaron Brooks. Aaron Brooks Now, it's Mark Ripping.
(38:16):
How obscure? I love when the answer is obscure? How
obscure is that most people super Bowl quarterback? Though? Mark Alright?
Sunday Night Football, Dallas three and Oh at New Orleans
two and one. It's on NBC without Michaels and Chris Collinsworth,
the Little Sunday Night Action. Cowboys are two and a
half point favor They opened it one and a half.
The pick I'm taking the Cowboys, I'm taking again. The
(38:39):
Saints were essentially handed the game last week by the Seahawks.
They played football follies. They lost the statuet New Orleans,
they won the game. That is not a sustainable formula.
New Orleans average just five point three yards per play.
They had only two hundred sixty total yards. Seattle averaged
almost seven yards per play. They had five fifteen yards
(39:01):
fifteen yards, and they lost the game. In other words,
it's unsustainable. As we said, Teddy Bridgewater is gonna have
to get better. The Cowboys have a pretty good defense.
The Saints need more chunk plays. He's averaged less than
seven yards per attempt Bridgewater, and I know why he's
doing that. They're playing it close to the vest Minnesota
conservative dumb down offense. But you gotta gotta give me more.
(39:23):
You gotta give me more. The Cowboys with a win
would be off to their best start in twelve years
since seven when they started out five and oh, Dallas.
Dallas has the Packers next week, all right, so they
have the package next week? Will they be caught in
that spot looking at I say no. It's a national
televised game. Uh, you don't get extra credit for beating
(39:46):
Drew Brees and the Saints. But this is a golden
opportunity to win in a hostile environment. Cowboys will pull
it out. Dallas one. New Orleans is twenty three penny
tailing your hair going to Cowboys. Last one, all right?
Last one? Monday Night Football, Cincinnati, oh in three, Pittsburgh,
(40:07):
oh and three. It's on ESPN, Joe Testa Tour and
Booger Booger McFarland. The Steelers opened a three and a
half point favorite. They are currently favorite by four. The
pick is in Oh, p you what stinks? I'm taking
the Bengals. Uh. The reason why Cincinnati actually has more playmakers.
It seems odd to say that in a Bengal Steelers
(40:29):
game because normally that's the other way. But the Bengals
have more playmakers here. This should be a field goal game.
This should be anybody's game. You're getting over a field goal.
I like taking the points in games like that, Andy
Dalton is a better quarterback than Mason Rudolph. Very rarely
is Andy Dalton the better quarterback in the matchup the Bengals,
As I said, they have more weaponry. The Steelers are
(40:49):
the second worst team in third down defense in the NFL,
so there's an opportunity for the Bengals to keep the
change moving. Only the Redskins have been worse. And my
favorite stat is some up the lazy river of mediocrity
of Pittsburgh is Mason Rudolph in his first start with
the Steelers against the forty niners. You know many passes
(41:09):
he completed. We used this on the Overnight Show, but
maybe you missed it. How many passes he completed that
traveled more than one yard downfield? The answer is too
that it not happens. It's a guy named Tim Tebow
in his heyday. So I realized I'm going against the
trend here. Over the years, Pittsburgh has been pure cash,
(41:31):
straight cash hoby in primetime games. They're ten and five
against the spread the last fifteen Monday Night Football games
previous fifteen instances. But this is a bad team and it's,
you know, be a close game you like the points
divisional game Bengals twenty Steelers nineteen paying agreement here going
(41:53):
with the Bungles. All right, that'll put the baby to bed.

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
