Not much going broke on football.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
We both are.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Football have liver disease because of it.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Bro I it was so bad that the remaining money
you have my in my account curly on the hard
rock app. I didn't want to touch it on the
last last night's game, I didn't want touch it. I
had to urge it do with and like I didn't
feel anything.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
I didn't feel either way with the game. So I'm like,
I'm not touching it. I just thought I'm just an
enjoy the game.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
That's it. That's it.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
So yeah, what a weekend for us. By the way,
thank you once again having this Sunday at your home
on on on on Saturday. We had a great time,
although the result was not what we wanted. The course,
no man, a ton of money.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Man, your kids are hustlers.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
You want.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
I want to know how to gamble and win is.

Speaker 7 (02:10):
What I know.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
My kids hustles. You had forty dollars, oh my.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
God, pretending they can barely swim, and next thing you know,
they can send back and forth on water on my pool.
I should have known it was a hustle when the
younger one did a first on a practice attempt one.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
And then they want to do it again full of ship.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (02:39):
They didn't want to double down when I offered fifty
bucks on the.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Ring toss game.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Thanks Uncle, Zach.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'm sure they're gonna be asking every week, hey, uh.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Again, guys, man, we have two buyers going this week
on the on the dock, yet we have the Texans
and the Vikings on buys.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Zach always asked us of these two teams on the bias,
who needs more?

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Who was the two teams?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I'm sorry Texanton, Texanan Vikings, Oh Ship Vikings.

Speaker 7 (03:17):
Man.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
I don't think they ever expected this season to go
this way.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I mean three and two though, so they're they're still
in a decent spot.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:28):
I think when they were expecting three and two is
with J. J. McCarthy, not with a backup.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Who.

Speaker 8 (03:35):
Man, did they run into pure luck over the weekend
going against Cleveland.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
That game?

Speaker 6 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I would I wouldn't say the same.
I think both these teams need it, really, but I
think Houston. I think Houston finally got on the gutter.
But but Minnesota, I will say, because McCarthy, I mean
in the injury nextra week off should should.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Probably I would imagine be back next after the bye
I would imagine, yeah, you know.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
So, because they were saying they it was gonna be
out for an experient period of time, but not this long.
So i'd imagine after the bi week to bring them back.
I mean three three to two to throw a quarterback
is actually not a bad spot to be in. But
the NFC is tough though. I mean you see how
the things playing out in the NFC, like, you can't
you can't go away games right now at this point,
you can't get away games if you if your goal
is get to the playoffs, you gotta win the games

(04:23):
that that Browns game could have been a.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Disaster for the af might send to the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Wait, AFC South, Yeah, so Colts obviously, who's who's the third?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Maybe Houston funning into the other.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
We'll see.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
I mean they got, they got took advantage of a
bad Tennessee team and of course the Raveners who don't
have anybody you know.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
So anyway, here we go, Uh you got Thursday football?

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Here upon US Eagles at Giants, Zach Eagles at some
point favorite see over under though it's forty and a half.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Oh Man.

Speaker 8 (05:04):
After watching Jackson Dart in Game two. I don't care
what's going on with Philly.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Give me Philly.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Yeah, my gut, my gut says to take my gut
says take Philly as well, because because they're again for
five weeks in there do they finally do a complete game.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
But this is a divisional game. The Giants, you know
they should have one on Sunday, Bro, they lost that game.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
How do you?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
How do you turn to How do you turn the
ball over on five straight possessions? Is beyond me?

Speaker 8 (05:41):
How do you?

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I've never heard of.

Speaker 8 (05:45):
I can't, or at least I cannot remember a team
having three guys lose fumbles Like I just cannot ever
remember that happening.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Doesn't The equipment.

Speaker 8 (05:56):
Manager walked by and the lather on stick them be like,
this can't happen anymore.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Something do something, but uh, Eagles win. I agree with
you on that, but I'm gonna say the over in
this one, actually forty a half is low enough. And
my way, Dart looks pretty good, Yeah, looks really good.
He's Mooney offense. He made some league rows on on
on the again it's the same, so calm down, but
he looks like he looks like he belongs.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
He like he belongs. So we'll see how this thing
grows going forward.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
And again the priority for the Giants is, in my opinion,
is developed dark more thing else I'm looking at wins
and losses. I'm gonna development. So all right, we had
a sun name of Mosa game and this in London
also too.

Speaker 8 (06:38):
I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
I know, I know it's overseas.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
I know it's overseas, but it's uh, bron Broncos at Jets,
the Broncos at sad point favorite.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
The over under ZAC is forty three and a half.

Speaker 8 (06:49):
You really have to feel bad for these English fans
getting to watch football when it's the Jets showing up.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
But give me denver. I think I think that defense
will pre pray on them or prey on.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
It is London and lo you got the Broncos.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, Broncos should have more, should get more turnovers?

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Then yeah, Bobby, Honestly, bro.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
The Jets was so bad last week and given all
the walk into the year, call me crazy year.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Broncos win the point here.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Because that was the only losses year this year they
had was well, the Buffalo game of this week two,
but Every little game they played this year has been
relatively nip and tuck. They've been competitive most of the year.
This can't seem to get to win. And look, I
was soft on Denver. I was like, I'm there now
the Broncos. They're a real team. But you do for
lockdown too also, and the season. What the seasons taught

(07:55):
me to four six weeks in is that not every
week is the same, you know. So, uh, give me
just the points here. I'm just taking a shot in
the dark here for this one. Just on the points,
all right. We got Cardinals at Colts. The Colts are
seven point favorites. The over under Zach is forty seven.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh man, I don't know what's one to do more here.

Speaker 8 (08:17):
I love the Colts in the game and I love
the over in the game, but give me Anda Jones
to cover the spread.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Dude.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
I'm bought in. And I remember was saying I need
eight weeks before I make it. I feel like this
is a contender. I might be there now, but it's
my defaul because the rest of the conference it sucks.
Buffle's not runn away with this conference at all. It's
Josh Allen bust ballfers bad right now. All the top
teams in the division, in the divisions, the Chargers that

(08:46):
just lost Hampton on I ar the running back. That's huge, Okay,
the lost in a row. The Chiefs lost a game
to Jacksonville. So everything around the AFC is it's telling
me that's wide open. So would it surprise you right
now that the Colts playing in the age title game
at this point basically will be seen right now for

(09:07):
five week example.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
No, not at all, because what they what they do
sustained a long time. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
You you take the Colt to take the take the
the over, I'll take you over here, actually be honest,
because again, well, Arizona bounce back and play a better game.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
I think Arizona's a better road team Ouncy than the
home team. Honestly, I'll think you over this one.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
So all right, we got Chargers at Dolphins. Charge are
four point favorites over under it's forty three.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
Oh man, this has gotta be a get right game
for the Chargers, right. Dolphins look horrendous and I hate
saying that living down here, but yeah, give it, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
They got They gotta get right because you can't you
can't be three, you know, be civil contender and then
lose you in a row, you know, one of those
lost just because Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
But I'm gonna take the under. This one actually.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Spent a hard time scoring points. He's like lately, I
don't know why, and the Dolphins or just whatever. So
the best bet is under for me, Give me under.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
This one, all right.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
We got Browns at Steelers. The Steelers of five and
a half point favorites. The over under is thirty eight.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
That's way too low and under.

Speaker 8 (10:21):
All right. Dylan Gabriel might be a second start out,
but he didn't look too bad game one, and I
just feel like the Steelers have not played defense at
all this season.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Hmm. So you're taking uh.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Over thirty eight?

Speaker 4 (10:45):
He said, you over?

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Mmmm.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
So you saw Joe got traded there right, Yeah, to
the Bengals, so he'll get murdered there too. Also, wait,
is browning out now something?

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Well? I think he's being bitched mm hmm. But honestly,
I could not believe they did not go after Jamis Smnson.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Only that, so check this out. Not only they trade,
they it was a pick swap too. Also. Yeah, so okay,
I think Cleveland got a fifth rounder back for him.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, Cleveland gave a flackwn a sixth for a fifth.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
Round, Which means if you put if you're a Giant,
you put Winston or even Russ on the market right now,
you're getting back at least a third fourth, right.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Well, I mean if it was Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, here's the thing to Also, I'm Cincinnati. Why don't
you call Russell Wilson. You can still save your season.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
You're you're still too and I mean going to the game,
you're still two and two, two and three in a
week AFC.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Do you at least try to save.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Your season this point because at the raid's going right now,
we're not gonna see Joe Brogen this year because they're
not gonna win on the game, probably to fuck December.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
And at that point, why would you bring Burrow back?

Speaker 8 (12:05):
Yeah, it makes no sense, Russell Wilson, I personally instead however.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Even either one, but at least us put up some
wins on the board for you and keep it in
the race.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
You already got two wins on the bord right as
it is right now, and and and the way things
like the AOC, we're gonna say eight or nine win
team make the playoffs. So if you can at least
get a couple more Wednesday down December and get Burrow
back to play me for football, I mean, what are
they doing? I don't I don't get it. I don't
get I'm sorry, Joe Flacco, come on, Joe Flacco. Yeah,

(12:41):
I don't get it. Anyway, I had picked to cover
this game off by They're another team that's do a
complete game. And knowingly that if I'm Pittsburgh, you look
at the vision. Ravens are struggling, right, Ravens are in
the barrel, Browns ball and the barrel. Bengals suck. There
is no excuse right now you have three one to
just run away with the fucking thing. There's no excuses

(13:03):
point out. So run away the thing. Your goal. If
I'm the Steelers, your goal right now is number one. C.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, I just don't know if Aaron Rodgers can even
run away from Miles Garrett.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
So right, I'll take put this one because Cleveland, I mean,
they're gonna start doing gay ruling. Let's see if Steelers
even steps up. Finally, we'll see, all right, you got
Cowboys at Panthers. The Cowboys are three point favoritesy over
under is forty nine.

Speaker 8 (13:31):
Zach Oh, I love the Cowboys in this That offense
is so good right now if it will if Dallas
had any kind of defense, there would be legitimate talk
about Dack being an MVP candidate.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
Agreed, But enough huge numbers on offense. But they just
have no defense. And I again do have zero faith
in Carolina.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
So you gonna go Dallas, right, Absolutely, yeah, I see that.
But again, much like last week, I thought about the
Cowboys playing in New York, it's the Jets.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
This is a game that historically they would lose. You
stop buying in all Their offense is playing great. Okay,
you're playing Carolina should win that game, right, and then
they lose that game. Now, I'm not gonna sit and
sit and pick Carolina in it. So the best bat
is taking me over. You know, only at least Bryce.
I suely Bryce a mom here this week just because
of the fact that that was even sucks. Dollas wins

(14:34):
a game probably, but I'll see a lot of points
in the border. It's gonna be over this one. I'll
tell you what though. My bet now for uh for
eight and a half wins plus is actually alive again.
If they win this game, yeah, then I feel bad
now because then if they had to beat in Green Bay,
that's four wins on the border.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Ready, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
We'll see, we'll see, all right. We have just a
hurt interesting game here. We have Seahawks at Jaguars. Uh,
the Jets as one point favorite. The over under is
forty six and a half sack.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
I'm a play safe and take the over. I mean,
Sam Donald can put up points against anybody. I should
just take Seattle.

Speaker 8 (15:17):
But because of my preseason prediction to Jacksonville, which if
Jacksonville does win this week, I'd like a little apology from.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Kyle if they if they win this week, yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
You guys doubting My projection of Jacksonville being.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Good this year was this was this seven half wins,
the over run the number.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
Yeah, and if they win this week, they're they're five.
So I'll I'll make sure I'll make you gets a
message that being said, I'm with you the over, I'm
with you. I also have you over in this game
as well. This is gonna be a really good game.
This is actually my do the best game of the
week possibly there'll be top two, top three definitely.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
I'm taking all the over this one as well too.
All right, we have Rams at Ravens. This would have
been a market game. But you know, obviously thinks are
back at the Ravens Rams and so on that point,
favorites the over under ZAC is forty four and a half.

Speaker 8 (16:19):
Shit, Honestly, the Rams might be able to put up
forty four points by themselves.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
And we saw we saw last week because the Texans
did it.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
That defense is how ofrendous.

Speaker 8 (16:31):
So I won't play it safe and just take the
Rams to cover. But yeah, I love the I would
I would I do a two teamer right here, Rams
in the over, and I wouldn't even be scared.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
What's your best bets on the Rams?

Speaker 5 (16:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:49):
I actually disagree here on the on ther or on
other part. Let take the under this one.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
I think it will be like probably thirty seven, thirty
seven to seven game something like that, that nature thirty
five to fucking three, I don't know, some shit. But
they get thirty plus and then they call off the Dogs.
They questions it, now, huh.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
You're taking the under.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
I'm taking the under.

Speaker 8 (17:14):
Yeah, you're you're predicting like thirty five to thirty, so
winning by covering the spread by thirty and you'd rather
chance then.

Speaker 6 (17:24):
I think that they'll score a lot of points, and
they'll but they'll call the dogs off in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Here's my question to you.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
Are the Ravens done here or do you think this
is still a chance they can get back in this
whole thing with Lamar's back.

Speaker 8 (17:38):
I even when Lamar coming back, I don't believe they
have a chance. That defense is so bad, that team
is so uninspired. I think to see the rap already
on them.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
Are you guys, are any guys coming back in that
school weeks that can after the buy because that yeah,
this rams game right, they have to buy and then
the schedu gets a little bit softer for the next
month or so so that there's opportunity to get back
into the race.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Who's coming back on defense?

Speaker 4 (18:02):
That I don't know. I don't know. Mulla Humphings. Is
he coming back?

Speaker 8 (18:08):
Has he been able to cover a single wide receiver
yet this season? No, they had, They're dead last than defense.
There's no reason to even care if anyone on defense
comes back.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
I'm holding a hope that they can they get Lamar
back after the bye, and then you don't lose more
than three games of the year. Look, we saw the
we saw the Bengos last year. The Bengals were a
tyereakeray for making a player last year, same situation.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
So I'm not I'm not gonna.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
I'm not ready tom ount this yet because if there's
a team cable winning ten games in a row, it's
this one. But again, we gonna see environment. Plus the
AFC is still wide open in my opinion. So but
I'm gonna take the under this one, all right. We
have Patriots at Saints. The Patriots at three and a
half pint favorites the over under Zack, it's forty six.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
I know the Saints one last week, but man, there's
no reason this line should be this low.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Give me the Patriots, all right. Drake may is starting
to play.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
Like he belongs Endless League as a bona fide starter,
So yeah, give me the Patriots.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Probably win this game. MoMA, take me under. I don't know,
I'm mistaking the under this one. I don't know why, man,
I don't know, but.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Drake Man is great. It's a question, are you believe
in the pass now? You still want to see more.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
No, I think they're a are away from competing for spot.
But no, I certainly believe in Drake May's a quarterback.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
I do do.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
People are Patch fans are a whole lot of thurstay
this week. I'm like, that's a good win. And I'm
not saying I'm not a good win at all, but
that's a little more because you're the same team and
also lost to the Raiders a big one.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Okay, who might be worsing football right now? So let's
let's calm that ship down a little bit. You know
what I'm saying. They lost the Raiders, and who wasn't
lost to this year? I forgot.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
I can't remember ship.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
It was a week three? It really was? Was it Carolina?

Speaker 7 (20:10):
No?

Speaker 6 (20:11):
No, it wasn't what Carolina? But I mean, let make
a case. Let's just calm down. Big one was Buffalo.
Let's calm down a little bit. Mo'ma take the under this.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
One, all right?

Speaker 5 (20:19):
We have the Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
No, actually they beat the Dolphins week two.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
Now I'm gonna look at right now, let's see new
Eing and Patriots week number three.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Let's see, all right, they lost to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
Now, that's the game they should have won, because that
was the game they lost. They had two goal line turnovers.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Remember, Yeah, so.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
We'll see, we'll see, all right, this fucking game Titans
at Raiders. The Raiders of five favorites, the over under
Zach forty one and a half. I don't know why
anyone watches this game. That's why it's such a rest.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
Well. I love what our buddy Chris called it, man
the toilet bowl right here.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
I'll play save. I'll pick the under in this game.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
Really, yeah, I'm one of the way. I'm going to
over in this one. It's low enough, four to one
and a half.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
I believe.

Speaker 8 (21:33):
Geno Smith has nine interceptions already on the season, and
Tennessee does play defense, so.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
I think, yeah they do.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
But that numbers is too spicy. Twenty three twenty You
know they got the over run last week twenty two
twenty one. Guess the Cardinals by way. What a way
to win your first game of the year.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Huh.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (21:57):
The fact a guy on Arizona dropped the ball intentionally
right before the goal line on a touchdown celebration.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
No one would care if they won the game anyway.
That changed the game.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Yeah, it would have been up twenty eight to six.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
Right in the fourth quarter. Yeah, yeah, that would kill
the Titans' chances. But yeah, but yeah, give me over
this one, all right? We got Niners at Bucks.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
The Bucks are three point favorasy over under Zach As
forty seven and a half.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Can Tampa really come back again? And who's playing quarterback
for the forty nine ers this week?

Speaker 6 (22:42):
OHT know, man, But right now they have a sort
of Richards there because both guys can do the job.
You're a big, pervy guy, but Mac Jones's played phenomenal
in the spots he's been in.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Just because I have no idea who's going to be
playing quarterback, give me the Bucks.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
I'm with you two Bucks as well too. I think
the Bucks are do a complete game. Another team that
had the four and one but every game had to
come come back from from behind. I think you'll do
a big game. And I think also the Niners coming
off that even though so even though it's a long
rest of week because they play on Thursday football, I
think the emotion of beating the Rams way he did
last week to get up again. I guess the Bucks,

(23:21):
I don't know I believe. I believe this Bucks team.
They're getting healthier too. On top of that, they are dangerous. Shit,
they are very dangerous. So give me a Buckser big
of me and field right now my MVP in the
league currently. All right, we got Bengals at Packers.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
The Packers of fourteen point favorites. The over under Zach
is forty five.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah, the Packers. It's not even like it's a get
right game or trap game or anything like this.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
The Bengals are.

Speaker 8 (23:54):
The worst team in football right now. Last three weeks,
there is no team than the Bengals.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
So that wont the clip? Dude, seriously want the cliff.
I'm there with you.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
Two. Also, I think fourteen points a team coming for bye.
Joe Flack is probably gonna be started this week.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
I think not sure.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Maybe maybe it's Browning but on a short leash, just
a bad bad sign. Give me give me the package
to cover fourteen as well. All right, this is the
game of the week here, Lions at Chiefs. The Chiefs
are two and a half point favorites. The over under
Zach is fifty two.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
Oh, give me the Lions. I'm sorry, the Lions are
gonna devastate them, all right. There's a team who is
playing on all cycles defense, special teams, offense, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
They are playing lights out right now.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
They are the best team in footballright now. Yes, they
are the best team fotball right now. But I'm gonna
say the over this one actually because I'm I'm scared
to pick against the Chiefs because your office is actually back.
No for nothing, office is playing better now and they
didn't get guys back after this week. But the Troy

(25:08):
is the better team right now. I'll go over in
that one.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
I'm just it's just strange to.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
Me that we were all we said a couples ago
when it started going two, could we see them own three?

Speaker 4 (25:20):
And now we're spot under two and three, and could
we see it she's at two and four?

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Yes, I mean probably because who are playing by versus
of the schedule, But to kind of put that this
kind of frame that in your.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Head though, like that's weird. But I'll go over this one.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
I think the Troy just won the game, but I
think the best bets over to be safe, all right,
And I think we have two Monday night games.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
I'm mistaken this week.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Uh, we got first Bills at Falcons. The Bills are
four point favorites. The over under Zach is fifty.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Oh. I love the other all right.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
I don't even try and pick the winner in this game,
because I had, I could justify the Bills covered, I
could justify Atlanta.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Havn't a shot to Land. Just give me the over.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, I right there with you two. Also, I have
the other over as well. I like Buffalo. I'm not
knocking them here. They're a little overrated. Can we can?
We can we call space straight here? The first four games,
who they play so outside Baltimore healthy Week one? Who

(26:28):
they played?

Speaker 6 (26:29):
The Saints, the Dolphins, and who's ever seen they played
some other ship team they played okay there in there
and knowing that they barely want that Saints game was
late in the fourth quarter, little fourth quarter. Dolphins game
is under the wire. I mean, I know we love
Josh Allen. Josh Allen is to me right now Phia
the best scoring football now curly, But that doesn't mean

(26:51):
the Bills are what they are supposed to be. Like,
the Bills are by default the best team in AOC,
but it's the gap team. Doumb Number two is not
that big right now, which is which is not actually
not a good thing because the USA AMC is not
that good.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
These are minds, you know. Side with team is probably cults.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
I honestly, I'd take the Cults are the Bills right now.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
I bro honestly, if I'm looking at this, I'm looking
at this right now. This is verbatim, just looking at
as what we see right now.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
I agree with you.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Yeah, Bill, the Bills run game is atrocious, all right.
You're your only weapon is Josh Allen.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, I mean James Cook is not bad, but I
guess it's han't. He really hadn't a chance to really
get him off yet. So the Bills are a good team.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
And and look, I said, there's social contender, but there's
been to me, there hasn't been any separation yet, in
real separation anyway, So I'll go over in this one
as well. But I gotta see a Bills win against
a solid team that I need a centage to win.
The Ravens game week and it's not Central Wind obviously, no,

(28:03):
So give me give me over here though.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
Orr.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
And finally, the last game of the weekend on a
football second game Bears at Commanders. The commanders of four
and a half win favorites. The over undersack is fifty.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Oh, this is an easy over. I mean each team
leads points, they just they give.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
They allow their opponents to score twenty anywhere from twenty
three to twenty seven points every game, if not more so. Yeah,
without hesitation, I bet the over on this game.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
Really, I see a point there. I'm one on the
way that I went under. And maybe if I'm mimicking
the game last year where the Hill Mary game, this
is the game that. This is the game last year
that the Bears were four and two the Hail Mary
Maye won five and two, and then when they lost
that game to the Hill Mary, they lost every single
game ust of the year until weeks week eighteen when

(28:59):
they're out of contention. Anyway, Okay, so back to the
scene in crime for for for the Bears, I'll go
under this one.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
This is gonna be a fun game.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
The Beer is one that one of my most intriguing
teams in the league right now, watching week to week
because I'm I'm for some reason, I'm very investing kill Williams.
I want to see this kid develop and he's this
year's so many signs that he's he's figured out a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Now there's another game.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
To prove, to prove to people that still thought that
he was overrated. You know, so I uh, this is
I'm a quarters game. It's actually my it's actually one
of my my three best favorite games to watch this weekend, honestly,
So there you go, all right, by way. Also, I
didn't tell you I also won this week again Week five,
not yeah, you had a he had a rough week.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
I think I had let me see, like like eight wins.
I think yeah, one two, three, one two, three, four
five eight, and you had six. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
So and that's now three weeks for me, and tis
all right. Before we get out of here, buddy, this
week's FS you minute. Let's recap the game because Miami
last week. My takeaway is this all your long been
saying college football that you can make a case for
as much as nine teams or ten teams that if

(30:20):
they won a national championship would have surprise me because
they felt wide open. That changed this weekend for me.
To me, it's only two teams I can see when
the national twel right now, now, things like I said,
it still fluid, things can changing weeks to come. But
to me, the clear cut Tier one teams.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Are just two. It's Ohio State, It's Miami. That's it.
I want to who Miami?

Speaker 8 (30:45):
No, I know who Miami's played to justify that. Who
is Ohio State played?

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Nobody yet? But again, Ohio State is the national champs.
They'll get my default, they'll get the trust.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Like I get I get it. I guess I say,
we have three teams. I don't believe organists yet.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
You don't believe in Oregons, but you believe in a
team that's skated by on that then other teeth against
the trash team in Texas.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
There's good now in hindsight, But again there you also
talking about the defending national champs.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
That's the thing with a whole new starting quarterback, a
freshman starting quarterback.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
I mean, what we gotta see there's I gotta see
the schedule. First off, well, we gotta see there what
they're looks like in terms of like game syner for
games that on the on the docket, that we can
start judging. But right now, to me, it's it's it's
less about Ohio STATEUS point. Now obviously I'm going based
on the on the history and and what they've done
and who they are. But I mean this week with Illinois,

(31:54):
so there's one Senator game on underdocket for them in
Illinois depends in game two weeks would have been a
big game, but Penn State ship the Vegas UCLA they
didn't even rank anymore deserve.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
And then other than that, the next game on this
is uh, Michigan.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
That's it, that's it.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
So there are very few opportunities from Ohio State to
slip up. I expect Ohio State to be unfeated by
the end of this year. Miami separated themselves. Also this weekend,
Miami has legit wins on their schedule. Yeah, Nor Dame,
us F Florida State on the road.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
Oh, I mean the win against Florida now looks way
bettering how Florida dominated Texas.

Speaker 6 (32:38):
So I'm looking at the Miami schedule right now quick.
I'm just not my schedule, quick, Miami Hurricane schedule.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
So they have Louisville from.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
You, a win.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
Stanford should be a win. SMU should be a win, dude.
They got a cake walk to the to the AC's title.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
Here.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
The toughest game on on the schedule is probably Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
Louisville is a good team, man, don't look past them.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Yeah, but they're at home, though, they're at home. And
the thing about Miami, it really scares me. They are
good in the best spot possible in collegeotball.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
In the trenches.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
On both sides of the lines, offense, different lines, they
are dogs. And there they are put together like a
Big ten team.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
That's a problem. That's that's the.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
Way Bama, Georgia, all these schools, you know, the last
fucking fifteen years. One he has to have great players.
But in the trenches they were dominant. And that's where
Miami is dominant right now, in the trenches.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
I hate to say it.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
I gotta ask ahead sc schools. But you said Miami
is good in the trenches like a Big ten school.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Yeah, well, at Ohio State, you know those teams.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Michigan you know, yeah, yeah, at least.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
It's sorry I sec bias. I apologize.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
So.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
But Florist State, like I said, came off flat.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
They had they had they had the crowd with them
in the first first quarter, and when they when they
stopped on the when the Dems stopped on the first drive,
I'm like, put these fuckers away. Now they didn't do it.
I before we knew what the game was done. Yeah,
so it is one of us. Anyway, we have a
Pittsburgh this week on I believe that's a road game.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
For the Knowles, they are currently ten and a half
point favorites, the over under and a half. Where do
you stand for? Stay down in the right, No. Twenty
five the country.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
The goal here at this point is to win, win
enough games to you know, get a good Bowl game,
maybe get lucky in Stacey tell game.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
I doubt it, but you know what are you standing? Stump?

Speaker 5 (34:44):
And now I'm on the fire Mike Norvel train again.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
That's the same three years in a row man on
this on the show, You've been saying that literally on.

Speaker 8 (34:52):
That train all over and then we lose to Pittsburgh
being a ten point favorite, and we looked bad.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
I won't be that chan. That's so hard. Fire him?
Of course, I know we got no money to pay.
Pays his clause, So build what's his bio? You know
I could have worn I heard it's like seventy freaking
million dollars. What Yeah, it's something.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
And they're not doing that. No, they're not doing that. Sorry, exact,
you don't get in your way.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
When I heard it's like.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
If they didn't finally the last year's two in ten spot,
they already have three one more winning in the last year.
That's not happening now, I think again, I just want
this team to just continue with some games, get back
in the top fifteen. See, you got a shot in
into the playoff. I doubt it, but anything, it's wide open.
Teams have got knocked out. Their name was has two
losses also, so and I'll say what helps their case.

(35:48):
The bam will win week one is still going to help.
And as long as teams stuck get knocked out of
that spot like Penn State and others, you know. And
I think also them coming back and the ex mind
me late that game help them. They didn't get embarrassed
had had they had that twenty eight and three score
held maybe out a top twenty five. The fact that'

(36:09):
still ranked right now, I think it's it's a respect
to them coming back in the game and actually making
a competitive late so and those things matter. And yeah,
when he's looking at top twelve teams and ranking them
and put them in spots. Those things do matter.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
It was never competitive, No, no, dude, I agree with you.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
It was are competitive.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
But they got back in the game enough to where
had they got an Onsie kick and covered, they could
have won that game. So the same and voters voters
looking at that kind of stuff too also. All right,
So anyway, Zach, go luck with your picks because you
need it. All right, buddy, Uh, look for another way
to swindle, you know, twenty dollars my kids, twenty all

(36:48):
the money again this.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Week this week.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
I gotta work on Saturday.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
All right, we'll talk soon. Hope you get the other
on Sunday. Who watch them some games?

Speaker 5 (36:56):
All right?

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Man, all right, buddy, all right. Later, got to sleep.
