on whatever you want to hear.

45
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,120
Uh, okay.

46
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Mostly unbiased.

47
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,480
I'm biased when it comes to the Pelicans.

48
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040
I'm biased when it comes to the Patriots.

49
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,200
I barely talk Yankees because it was just before my fans perspective.

50
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:31,880
Um, but everybody else unbiased opinion regarding the sports world and what is going down in

51
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,080
the latest sports world, but let's get on to the show.

52
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,360
It's the middle NFL season.

53
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,360
I know it's week four.

54
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,960
I know we four started last night.

55
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,960
I get it.

56
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:47,600
I totally understand that we four started last night in a great game, uh, in a divisional

57
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,080
game that we'll talk about later.

58
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,400
Um, but when the NBA drops a bomb like this in their off season, you have to start with

59
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,440
it as Dane time has officially ended in Portland.

60
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,880
However, it has a new home.

61
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,920
He will be tapping his watch in green and white for the Milwaukee bucks standing next

62
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
to Yannis Antetokounmpo as Damien Lillard.

63
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,320
Any three team deal has been traded to the Milwaukee bucks.

64
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,360
Um, not the Miami.

65
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,240
So this has a lot of different facets, a lot of different areas that can discuss.

66
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,720
First I'll give you guys all the details.

67
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,160
That's fully shared on all just in time for social medias.

68
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Damien Lillard is the Milwaukee books received Damien Lillard in this trade.

69
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Portland Portland receives a pretty good haul.

70
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Drew Holliday, Deandre Aiden, uh, to money camera, a Camaro, a 20, 29 unprotected first

71
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,720
round pick and a swap rights with the books in 20, 28 and 2030.

72
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,600
And the Phoenix suns who helped facilitate this trade obviously received Yusef Nurtkic,

73
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Yusef Nurtkic from Portland, Grayson Allen, uh, Nasir Little and Keon Johnson is what

74
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,080
the spinning suns, um, return.

75
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,880
So there's a lot of different angles.

76
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,720
You can discuss this trade.

77
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,720
So I will start off with the angle.

78
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,920
If you're the bucks, if you're the Milwaukee bucks, this was a move to keep Yannis in a

79
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,920
Milwaukee uniform.

80
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,920
Yes.

81
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,920
Short term.

82
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,920
I think you're a better basketball team.

83
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Now you're going to miss your holidays defensive prowess.

84
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,640
You're going to miss, um, those assets later down the line.

85
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Grayson Allen's a good three and deep player.

86
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,120
You're going to miss maybe potentially miss that 20, 29 unprotected first.

87
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,200
That's what five years out or six years out.

88
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,480
I mean, that's after Dane's contract is over.

89
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,680
That's after Yannis's next contract will be over.

90
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Um, so those, so that could be interesting in terms of if that unprotected first round

91
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,720
pick ends up being a top three pick with a generational talent, you know, it's one of

92
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,480
those butterfly effect moments.

93
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,480
You keep it.

94
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,720
It ends up being in the 20s or the 30s because you're winning titles.

95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,360
Um, it's useless.

96
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,600
You're traded as a top three pick and the next Carmella Anthony, Dwayne Wade, um, Luca

97
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Troy Young is that pick, you know, next Yannis is that pick, you know, it's, uh, it's one

98
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,800
of those situations where that pick will look at in six years and go, man, that was a hell

99
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,520
over pick to give up for this, especially cause they didn't win a title, especially

100
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,280
because you know, it, who it became.

101
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,640
It had been worth way worse than it was.

102
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,560
Or we could look at it and say, man, they won three titles in five years.

103
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,920
Um, there are dynasty and that pick is in the thirties.

104
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,960
Who gives, you know, who cares or that picks in the late twenties on 30 teams that picks

105
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,000
in the late twenties, who cares?

106
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Um, and so that's the only thing that we can discuss.

107
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,720
Again, the swap rights are useless unless for some reason Portland is better than Milwaukee

108
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,240
and then that's why it becomes important.

109
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Otherwise they're useless.

110
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Um, so let's stick to what we know.

111
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,400
So if you're, if you're the Milwaukee Bucks, you're, you're thinking title of us.

112
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,720
This move was made for two folds.

113
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,680
It was made for the short term because now you, this season and next season, you have

114
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,720
one of the best, if not the best tag team in the NBA.

115
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,000
For the first time in Dame's life, he's playing with somebody demarcably better than him.

116
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,160
And for the first time in Yannis life, he's playing with a bona fide type of top 15 player.

117
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,360
Um, Damian Lewis is a top 75 player all time.

118
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,360
He's a future Hall of Famer.

119
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Um, he's Dame time.

120
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,360
He's big, he's big time.

121
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,360
He's box office.

122
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Um, we've seen him in multiple situations.

123
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,360
We've seen him wave off Paul George.

124
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,360
We've seen him, uh, go toe to toe with the Codin State Warriors.

125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Um, we'll see, we'll see them in color on his side.

126
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,360
We've seen him in a lot of different capacities.

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,360
We've never seen him with his title contention.

128
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,360
At no point in Portland were they title contenders at all.

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,360
And if anybody's trying to trick themselves in Portland, and I, and hey, I love Portland

130
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,360
as a fan base, uh, Damian Lewis, he's a top, he's a top, he's a top, he's a top, he's

131
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:44,840
a top 25, um, uh, if anybody who wrote a whole info from our contact, I don't know if I

132
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:54,740
mentioned it just before, but my contact was not responding the recall me that I felt

133
00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:57,060
is trying to trick themselves into thinking Portland

134
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:00,820
was ever a title contender in the West is,

135
00:08:00,820 --> 00:08:02,820
is just that, it's tricking themselves,

136
00:08:02,820 --> 00:08:04,300
it's deceiving themselves,

137
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,220
it's allowing themselves to have mental anguish

138
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:09,020
and pain that they don't deserve.

139
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:10,460
They'd be like me as a Pelicans fan saying,

140
00:08:10,460 --> 00:08:14,020
man, remember that year that Steph hit the shot

141
00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:15,220
of only they didn't get hurt.

142
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:18,180
Now, Rondo's convinced they won the title,

143
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:20,400
he's on the team, he would know better than I,

144
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
but, it was Demarcus Cousins' year,

145
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,100
but, it would be foolish of me as a fan to say,

146
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,740
man, the Pelicans should have won the title,

147
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:30,620
or the Pelicans wouldn't have had a contention,

148
00:08:30,620 --> 00:08:31,460
they weren't.

149
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:33,380
And the same thing with Portland,

150
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:36,140
like, at no point in Portland's history,

151
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:38,420
they made it to the Western Conference Finals,

152
00:08:38,420 --> 00:08:41,380
and I still would not have deemed them a title contender.

153
00:08:43,060 --> 00:08:45,120
So, Dane, for the first time in his career,

154
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,560
goes into a season, the favorite to win the title,

155
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,820
because he's rolling with, to me,

156
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:51,220
the best player on the planet,

157
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:52,300
and that's Giannis Antetokounmpo.

158
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,100
Well, Alehima Jokic, the top two player on the planet,

159
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,780
and that's Giannis Antetokounmpo.

160
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:01,060
If you're Portland, you have,

161
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:05,020
I go to Phoenix first, and I go to Portland.

162
00:09:05,020 --> 00:09:08,380
If you're Phoenix, you have now,

163
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:10,580
hey, you got rid of Deandre Aiden,

164
00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:12,940
grain it, grain it.

165
00:09:12,940 --> 00:09:16,300
You did pick up Yusef Nerkic's bad contract,

166
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:17,340
but you got rid of Deandre Aiden,

167
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:18,780
you got that out of the building.

168
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:22,340
You add Wing Dep, and Grayson Allen, let's see a little,

169
00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:23,580
and Kion Johnson.

170
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:25,840
Now, none of these guys are gonna win you an NBA title,

171
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,180
but KD needs a night off, Book needs a night off,

172
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:31,940
Bill needs a night off.

173
00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:34,340
Any one of the last three I name could fill into their roles,

174
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:35,500
or fill into their spots.

175
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:36,700
Not necessarily fill their roles,

176
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,300
but you would be comfortable enough

177
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:40,900
to say we're not gonna get destroyed because of blah.

178
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:46,300
Because of stars, I expect them Phoenix play heavy minutes,

179
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:47,980
so you can kinda say we're not getting destroyed

180
00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:49,460
because of blah.

181
00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:51,660
And so, that was huge for Phoenix,

182
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:55,060
because they pretty much, I mean, to me,

183
00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:57,220
I would stand at them running seven people

184
00:09:57,220 --> 00:09:59,540
for most of the year, I mean, playing 10,

185
00:09:59,540 --> 00:10:01,940
but three other people playing three, four minutes a game,

186
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:04,500
primarily a seven man rotation for most of the year.

187
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:06,260
Now, Grayson Allen's a rotational piece.

188
00:10:06,260 --> 00:10:07,260
Let's see a little of when he's healthy

189
00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:08,340
to play in that rotation.

190
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:10,420
Kion Johnson, I've seen him play in rotations.

191
00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:13,920
So, now you have 10 to 11 people

192
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,860
that they can comfortably roll in.

193
00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:18,860
Now, with a roster, with a front four that big,

194
00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:23,500
do you ever decide to go with

195
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:26,700
the bench guys for too long?

196
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:31,700
Probably not, but it does give credence to,

197
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:33,540
on a playoff game, playoff series,

198
00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:37,940
you need more than just your seven guys.

199
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:40,780
You know, it's probably just a foul trouble, et cetera.

200
00:10:40,780 --> 00:10:45,340
You need some more players ready to go,

201
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:47,020
capable guys ready to go,

202
00:10:47,020 --> 00:10:48,940
people who just aren't going to

203
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,660
get absolutely destroyed out there,

204
00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:56,220
but they are going to work every single day

205
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:57,500
in order to become better.

206
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,740
So, if you were in Phoenix's case,

207
00:10:59,740 --> 00:11:02,180
those role players were gonna be huge,

208
00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:07,180
because they allowed you to play at a different pace,

209
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:09,940
especially in the playoffs.

210
00:11:09,940 --> 00:11:11,660
Now, you know, I'm not saying that

211
00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:14,020
with a team of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal,

212
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:16,460
Yousef Nerkic, Devin Booker,

213
00:11:16,460 --> 00:11:18,860
that Grayson Allen is going to decide

214
00:11:18,860 --> 00:11:21,700
who wins or loses the NBA Finals,

215
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:23,540
but it does give you the ability to play

216
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:24,620
a little bit differently,

217
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:26,340
it does give you the ability to play more physically.

218
00:11:26,340 --> 00:11:27,820
Maybe one of those games where Kevin Durant

219
00:11:27,820 --> 00:11:30,060
has two fouls with two minutes left in the first quarter,

220
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:31,820
you're not necessarily thinking,

221
00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:33,140
well, he can survive on defense

222
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:34,620
with two minutes to keep him in the game.

223
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:36,500
You'll just pull him, put Grayson Allen in,

224
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,340
lose the offense effectively,

225
00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:40,060
but you got a great catch and shoot guy,

226
00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:41,720
and you get the defender.

227
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Flipping it over to the side of Portland,

228
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,200
you have an asset now.

229
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,800
So De'Andre Aiden is gonna be a guy you keep around

230
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,120
for, you know, three years, probably three to four years,

231
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,680
he matches your team timeline.

232
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,360
He's not in his prime here or entering his prime.

233
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,320
The guy who's there has not arrived yet.

234
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,320
So Aiden has the ability here to get a fresh restart,

235
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040
that potentially moving J.M.Current,

236
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,640
he can have an opportunity to be really, really good

237
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,720
for a very long time in Portland.

238
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,360
But Portland has probably the most interesting asset

239
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,320
in the NBA, that's Drew Holliday.

240
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,840
Drew Holliday doesn't match up timeline-wise

241
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,040
with the Portland Trailblazers.

242
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,360
He's in his mid-30s, he's trying to win now.

243
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,160
Portland's gonna go full on rebuild.

244
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,000
And when you got a two-way guard on a contract next year,

245
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,240
because you're gonna have to get extended,

246
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,520
there won't be something insane.

247
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,520
He's a very two-way guard,

248
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,160
probably one of the best two-way guards in the NBA.

249
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,160
And he has the ability to clamp down your number one guard,

250
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,600
along with score the ball.

251
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,480
It was all that shit when Millerton went down,

252
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,760
Drew decided, okay, I'm gonna pick my offense up.

253
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,720
And just immediately started to score the ball a lot more.

254
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640
So that's a huge sign, if you are Portland,

255
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,200
that you can move him.

256
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
People are gonna get desperate for players.

257
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Right, and usually a trade like this

258
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,640
doesn't happen so close to training camp,

259
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,160
because usually teams would immediately pivot

260
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,480
during training camp,

261
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,200
and try and get themselves another guy.

262
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,040
But me personally,

263
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,880
I don't think he ever reports to Portland.

264
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,000
It makes no sense.

265
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,680
He's in his mid-30s,

266
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,280
everyone else on Portland that matters is 25, 26 or younger.

267
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,600
He's looking for a win-out situation.

268
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,600
Portland's at least two to three years off.

269
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,200
And there's gonna be so many suitors

270
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,840
lining up to try and come get him.

271
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,240
Boston should be one of his online lines.

272
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Golden State should be the first in that line.

273
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,360
New Orleans, Philly,

274
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,600
just to name a few of the teams

275
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,280
that I think make the most sense for Drew Holliday

276
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,120
to get redirected out of Portland

277
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,840
into a contenders uniform,

278
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,680
somewhere where he can make a big difference right now

279
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:45,520
on the winning,

280
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,920
and not just the fact that he's running around the court,

281
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,880
but he does make an impact, like I said, on the winning.

282
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,400
So I think that, again, New Orleans,

283
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Golden State for a redirection of Chris Paul,

284
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:04,720
Boston to try and combat what just happened in Milwaukee.

285
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Those are the three teams to me that jump out,

286
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,960
again, very quickly.

287
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Now, could a trade happen?

288
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,720
Drew Holliday ends up somewhere we don't know.

289
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,400
It's very possible Miami missed out on Dame.

290
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Could they land Drew Holliday as well?

291
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Or Drew Holliday instead?

292
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,360
So very interesting.

293
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,360
I think they were in the NBA for kind of 24 hours, I guess,

294
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,960
in the NBA, what was happening.

295
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,160
And then Phoenix Suns continued to skirt

296
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,680
around the second tax apron.

297
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,000
By this time, they started taking on a pretty

298
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
and free agency.

299
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,600
They took on a really, really bad contract,

300
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,720
and you said Nurgitz.

301
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,520
So they continue to dance around the second apron

302
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,000
and free agency, and they also continue to move your way

303
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,040
into the title picture.

304
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Now, Dame and Giannis is maybe the best one-two punch

305
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,000
since Shaq and Kobe in terms of a big and a little.

306
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,640
But we are dead.

307
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,040
Well, LeBron and AD, well, that book kind of big.

308
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,920
Only a big and a little, Shaq and Kobe.

309
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,440
So we're definitely going to be playing a lot of basketball

310
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,080
below the rim.

311
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,240
And I said that NBA was kind of shifting towards anywhere

312
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,760
with the advent and the prevalence of three-point

313
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,880
shooting, but this is going to be a game that you play

314
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,000
below the rim almost at all times.

315
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,880
But up next, we are going to shift to the NFL.

316
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:51,760
So I'll talk about going down with the shield.

317
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Welcome back into the show.

318
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,160
And now we're jumping into the NFL,

319
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,360
which is what the sport of our main season right now.

320
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,360
But now we're going to talk about week three.

321
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,880
Then, of course, we'll talk about week four.

322
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,160
Then we'll have Jack's pack are increasingly, well,

323
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,200
are consistently rather successful at NFL betting

324
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,200
segment, NFL week three had some storylines in it

325
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,720
all over the place.

326
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,080
First, we're going to start off with the Cowboys being upset

327
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,600
by the Arizona Cardinals.

328
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,680
Now, the Cardinals have looked promising all year.

329
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,600
Now, of course, they're without Kyle O'Mara right now,

330
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,720
as he's recovering from ACL surgery.

331
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,080
But they were expected to be in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes,

332
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,360
meaning like tanking out and looking to get Caleb Williams

333
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,400
and new run for Kyle O'Mara.

334
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,640
And I kind of spoke to a lot of people out and they trade

335
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,200
out as a Simmons, gave them to the Giants, basically nothing,

336
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,680
although he's done nothing for the Giants.

337
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,280
So potato, potato.

338
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,240
But I spoke to several people about the Arizona Cardinals.

339
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,200
And I kept reverberating back to financially,

340
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,520
it makes no sense to tank.

341
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,400
People are thinking kind of weird,

342
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,820
because you're going to give Caleb Williams a dead cap hit

343
00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:22,440
of $80 million if you move Kyle O'Mara after next season.

344
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,680
But after this season, he's $80 million.

345
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,360
You can't cut him, it's $200 million or $150 million,

346
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:29,200
something like that.

347
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,280
But if you trade him, you eat his guaranteed contract hit.

348
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,560
So it doesn't behoove you to tank with Kyle O'Mara

349
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,960
on the roster, because then two of your best assets

350
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,680
are going to be quarterbacks.

351
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,880
One would be Caleb Williams,

352
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,480
the generational prospect you tank to get,

353
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,000
and the other being Kyle O'Mara,

354
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,920
who would still have a B-O excess of $150 million

355
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,080
in the contract.

356
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,220
So it doesn't financially behoove you to tank.

357
00:17:56,220 --> 00:18:00,400
It actually does better if you play kind of decent,

358
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
give Kyle a shot to come back on a team that's still trying,

359
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,000
give him a couple of warm-up games,

360
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,360
get ready for next season,

361
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,560
draft him a Marvin Harrison, Jr.,

362
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,400
and then draft him a great left tackle.

363
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,640
Whoever the best left tackle is in college,

364
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,520
you know, draft the best tackle in college

365
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,160
and build the offense.

366
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Because they look pretty solid with Josh Dobbs.

367
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Week one didn't go so well for them,

368
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,400
but they had the lead in week two,

369
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,760
a good lead in week two, blew it.

370
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,320
And so week three, they came out,

371
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,480
and I'm thinking they're going to do the same thing.

372
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,800
They're going to take a lead on Dallas,

373
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,160
and then Dallas is going to realize, hey,

374
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,320
or Arizona is going to realize we should be tanking,

375
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,000
not for Caleb Williams, but for Marvin Harrison, Jr.,

376
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,940
and then lose the game.

377
00:18:42,940 --> 00:18:45,640
But no, they kept their foot down on Dallas.

378
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaking with a friend of mine,

379
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,180
and he was saying it's hard to take in the NFL,

380
00:18:51,180 --> 00:18:53,880
because in the NBA,

381
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,560
tanking is so accepted that people who are part of

382
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240
tank jobs, like players, even coaches,

383
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,480
will get another job.

384
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,200
If that staff gets fired or that player gets,

385
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,000
you know, they're released or whatever,

386
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,280
they'll get another job,

387
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,140
because tanking is so widely accepted.

388
00:19:09,140 --> 00:19:11,640
In the NFL, tanking is

389
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720
discouraged heavily,

390
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,480
and it kind of seems like quitting,

391
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,960
but the game is so violent,

392
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,880
you can't half speed football, you'll get hurt.

393
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,280
And also, those guys live on non-guaranteed contracts.

394
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,120
So that sixth round rookie that's starting now

395
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:32,080
because the team traded out the two veterans for draft picks,

396
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,360
he's putting on a show or trying to,

397
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,520
because he's trying to either make that team keep him,

398
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,200
he's on, or he's trying to effectively force the hand up

399
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,120
of another GM to pick him up.

400
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,360
And so, it's hard to tank in the NFL.

401
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,040
Coaches too, you know,

402
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,400
you could be a position coach forever,

403
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,620
never even a coordinator interview.

404
00:19:51,620 --> 00:19:54,960
And, you know, coaching your DBs incorrectly,

405
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,420
just so they play it bad, just to get points,

406
00:19:57,420 --> 00:19:59,720
just so you get the number one pick doesn't help you,

407
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,800
because if that team decides to let you go,

408
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,720
and everybody else see, well, your DBs on film

409
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,840
did everything wrong, why would we hire you?

410
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,840
You know, it's a spot where in the NFL you can't tank,

411
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,000
it's not good for you as a business to tank.

412
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,520
And so they ultimately defeated the Cowboys.

413
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Now the Cowboys may have been dealing

414
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,300
with an emotional letdown,

415
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:22,440
because they had just lost Trayvon Diggs 40 out before

416
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,440
for the season two at 20 ACL.

417
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,000
So maybe they were scrambling defensively.

418
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,520
You can kind of tell they had planned

419
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,020
on running man coverage in that game,

420
00:20:31,020 --> 00:20:33,440
because Arizona's defense isn't that explosive,

421
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,260
Arizona's receivers rather, aren't that explosive.

422
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:39,680
So you can definitely tell that the plan was to run

423
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080
a lot of man coverage, which left the cornerback

424
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,760
opposite Stephon Gilmore, a lot of man coverage.

425
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,840
And it just put the Cowboys into a bad spot.

426
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,440
It felt like Arizona, every time they needed

427
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,720
to get something, got it.

428
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,400
Offensively, it just was a bad spot to me

429
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,780
for Dallas to be in.

430
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
And the Cardinals ultimately take the game.

431
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:03,680
Now the Cardinals are an interesting spot,

432
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,020
because they have their own pick,

433
00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:06,280
and they have Chicago's pick.

434
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,420
Chicago, not Chicago, they have Houston's pick.

435
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:12,800
And Houston actually looks pretty solid right about now.

436
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,440
CJ Strahd looks damn good.

437
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,600
She's playing in a quarterback position.

438
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,140
He's one of three players ever.

439
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,040
To have 900 yards and seven touchdowns,

440
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,320
something like that in their first three starts.

441
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,480
I mean, he's looking, or nine touchdowns,

442
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,040
maybe whatever, it's gonna be seven touchdowns.

443
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,680
He's looking damn good right now.

444
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,800
As far as, he's my early candidate for rookie of the year.

445
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,360
I think I picked him going into the season.

446
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,660
I'm gonna stick with that.

447
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:40,660
He is looking really, really good right now for Houston.

448
00:21:41,060 --> 00:21:44,380
D'Amico-Ryans and that Houston Texas organization

449
00:21:44,380 --> 00:21:46,820
seems to have their next franchise quarterback.

450
00:21:46,820 --> 00:21:48,940
But what it does is it makes that Cardinals pick

451
00:21:48,940 --> 00:21:52,060
a little less, that Cardinals trade for that pick

452
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:53,380
a little less valuable.

453
00:21:53,380 --> 00:21:55,460
Because instead of potentially being two top fives,

454
00:21:55,460 --> 00:21:56,980
it may end up being a five and a nine.

455
00:21:56,980 --> 00:21:58,980
It may end up being a four and a 10.

456
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:01,660
So it can make that pick just a little bit less valuable,

457
00:22:01,660 --> 00:22:04,120
although if you really want a certain player,

458
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:05,900
you can package the two picks and go get

459
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,060
whatever pick you want.

460
00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:13,660
All right, so now that we've gotten through that,

461
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:15,860
let's just discuss the NFL.

462
00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:19,240
The NFL gives you treats every week.

463
00:22:20,260 --> 00:22:22,180
They give you joys every week.

464
00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:23,860
They give you spectacular games,

465
00:22:23,860 --> 00:22:27,840
Seas, Saints, Packers, especially that ending, every week.

466
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:31,940
Sea Lions, Chiefs, week one, every week.

467
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:34,180
They give you an impact game.

468
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:35,860
They give you a close game.

469
00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:37,740
They give you a frustrating game.

470
00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:40,980
See Colts, Ravens in overtime.

471
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:44,840
They give you all these different games every week.

472
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,860
But also the NFL showcases every week

473
00:22:47,860 --> 00:22:49,540
why it's the not for long league.

474
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:56,060
All right, because on top of giving you legitimate good,

475
00:22:56,060 --> 00:23:01,060
they give you awful, I mean absolutely awful, right?

476
00:23:07,060 --> 00:23:10,220
They give you awful moments.

477
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:18,140
And some of these moments and some of these players

478
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:20,460
we're gonna discuss are awful.

479
00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:25,460
The Chicago Bears is an unmitigated disaster.

480
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,880
To me, the Chicago Bears are doing the most obvious

481
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560
tank job in the NFL in a long time.

482
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,480
The building effectively imploded sometime last week.

483
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,640
The defensive coordinator resigned.

484
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,680
Justin Fields openly said coaching

485
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,840
is the reason he's not playing well.

486
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,640
There was a rumor that the later proven false FBI raid

487
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,160
on the former defensive coordinator's house.

488
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,160
I mean, it's just what's going on on Hallis Lane.

489
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,480
The part that I struggle with the Bears

490
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,180
is that I can see the talent.

491
00:24:09,180 --> 00:24:11,760
I can see Justin Fields in a vacuum of the talent.

492
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,080
I can see DJ Moore in a vacuum of the talent.

493
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,080
Hell, I can see Lazy Chase Claypool in a vacuum as a talent.

494
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,280
The problem is that A, they're not in the vacuum

495
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,400
and B, whenever they get into the real world,

496
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,900
it just, it comes apart.

497
00:24:28,180 --> 00:24:29,680
And so that's something that the Bears

498
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,180
just have to figure out.

499
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:33,320
What is the balance between being

500
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,480
a really, really good football team

501
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,840
and a not so great football team

502
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,200
and they've gotta figure out the balance

503
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,040
because right now they are struggling here.

504
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,560
If I'm the Bears, I take another couple of weeks

505
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,920
of really going for it

506
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,840
and then I start planning for the future.

507
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,840
I traded away some talent.

508
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,440
I traded DJ Moore to the Patriots right now

509
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,940
for a second round pick.

510
00:24:54,940 --> 00:24:56,960
I traded Chase Claypool away.

511
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,840
Probably also for a third or fourth round pick.

512
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,660
I'm trying to think who needs a receiver.

513
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,280
Chargers, just also receiver.

514
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Like I'd call them and be like,

515
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,800
Chase Claypool for a fourth.

516
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,920
You know, like I just, I would start building

517
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,560
for the future if you're just looking at 0-4 or 0-5.

518
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,480
If I'm Chicago, I start building for the future

519
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,520
and I tell Justin Fields,

520
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,720
hey, I hope you didn't buy your home

521
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,840
because we're gonna get the number one pick.

522
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,920
We're gonna go Caleb Williams.

523
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,480
So I hope you didn't buy your home

524
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,560
and be looking to move on

525
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,060
because you cannot continue to torture

526
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:31,840
that amazing fan base in Chicago

527
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,960
with that nonsense that's within Chicago.

528
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,320
Cincinnati Bengals, really quickly.

529
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Just like the Bengals won their game

530
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,000
and it is a WTF moment.

531
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Joe Burrow entered that game against the Los Angeles Rams.

532
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960
Again, the Bengals again did squeak out and win.

533
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,360
Joe Burrow entered that game with a damaged calf.

534
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,820
The entire world knew the calf was damaged,

535
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,920
especially his coaching staff.

536
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,160
And Joe, Joseph Byte Burrow,

537
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,360
I wanna say Joe Byte,

538
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:12,360
Joseph Burrow dropped back 54 times,

539
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,680
throwing 49 passes in a game against Aaron Donovan

540
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,360
in that pass rush and that defense, 54 times.

541
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:25,160
The crazy part is Joe Mixer was actually getting

542
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,700
pretty good yards per carry that game.

543
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,800
So it wasn't like rushing wasn't working.

544
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,720
They just didn't want to, 54 times.

545
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,720
That is job, that is workplace endangerment.

546
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,680
If I've ever heard it.

547
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,000
I'm already on a calf that you think

548
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,400
could be potentially torn.

549
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:52,280
And you want to drop back 54 times.

550
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,400
That is, I,

551
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,780
every time he dropped back, I would get nervous.

552
00:26:59,780 --> 00:27:02,200
Every time a Rams jersey got too close,

553
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,000
I would get nervous.

554
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,080
The bingles and those amazing uniform

555
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,600
with the white helmet, with the white,

556
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,440
oh, that's nice.

557
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,520
The white base of the black stripe, that's nice.

558
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,540
But every single time,

559
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,860
I would just get nervous.

560
00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:20,040
Every single time he dropped back,

561
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,480
I would just get nervous.

562
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,000
Like this can't end well, this can't possibly go right.

563
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,560
And he would get up,

564
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,600
it may be a little slow this time,

565
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,040
but he would get up.

566
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,620
And it's just like, absolutely hell.

567
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,920
What's Cincinnati put Joe Burrell through?

568
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,320
The Saints absolutely collapsed in that game

569
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,720
against the NBA Packers.

570
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,540
Derek Carver went down with proven to be an AC joint injury.

571
00:27:44,540 --> 00:27:47,240
James Winston came in up 17-0 mid-third quarter

572
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,800
and lost the game in regulation.

573
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,200
You know, and they did the harness,

574
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,200
and that'd be great.

575
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,240
As you guys know, if you listen to me,

576
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,560
I am a high school football coach.

577
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,880
We have a coach on staff

578
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,780
who says that we have certain players

579
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:02,820
who are determined to not be great.

580
00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:04,460
James Winston played that game

581
00:28:04,460 --> 00:28:06,180
like they told him don't blow that game,

582
00:28:06,180 --> 00:28:10,480
and instead they should have told him don't be great.

583
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,580
Because that's pretty much what happened.

584
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:13,740
He struggled the whole way through.

585
00:28:13,740 --> 00:28:16,820
Felt like to me he was playing anti-James Winston football.

586
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:18,900
So instead of no risk and no biscuit,

587
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,840
pretty much is what he was living.

588
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,620
Bruce Arias kind of used no risk and no biscuit

589
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:24,840
as an excuse or as a phrase

590
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,740
to continue to put the ball in harm's way.

591
00:28:26,740 --> 00:28:30,700
James literally lived no risk and no biscuit for a night.

592
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:34,240
To me it cost the New Orleans Saints the football game.

593
00:28:35,740 --> 00:28:37,380
Fans were outraged.

594
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,260
Many people were calling for taste of him and et cetera,

595
00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:43,260
but ultimately that did not happen.

596
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:46,100
And James and Jordan Love ultimately led the comeback

597
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:47,200
to win the game.

598
00:28:48,500 --> 00:28:49,800
All right, Jets.

599
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,700
And this is like, this is my last point about week three.

600
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:55,580
The Jets, what you are doing right now,

601
00:28:55,580 --> 00:28:57,740
G Young Joe Douglas, head coach Rob Vassala,

602
00:28:57,740 --> 00:29:02,340
what you are doing right now is workplace intellectual

603
00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:05,100
athletic malfeasance.

604
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:06,780
This was happening in New York.

605
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:10,240
You are allowing a really, really good roster,

606
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,540
52 really, really good players to go to hell

607
00:29:13,540 --> 00:29:16,860
in a hand basket for one in Zach Wilson.

608
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:19,640
That is a disaster.

609
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,260
It's despicable.

610
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:23,280
It's downright deplorable.

611
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,300
It's a fireable offense.

612
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:29,280
It is a life, it is a black balling offense.

613
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,880
For y'all to sit there at one New York place,

614
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,580
I think is the address, and to watch Zach Wilson practice,

615
00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:40,540
to watch Zach Wilson play, to hear Zach Wilson talk,

616
00:29:40,540 --> 00:29:44,620
and instead of apologizing to your team

617
00:29:44,620 --> 00:29:47,240
and getting in a quarterback like a Carson Wentz

618
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,620
prior to an injury like a James Winston,

619
00:29:49,620 --> 00:29:53,460
instead of getting some of those guys in place

620
00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:56,140
so that they may begin to help you turn this ship around,

621
00:29:56,140 --> 00:29:58,100
you are going to continue to create

622
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:02,260
and continue to allow that nonsense,

623
00:30:02,260 --> 00:30:05,740
that ridiculousness, that thing that makes me

624
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:09,020
turn off Jets games, that thing that made Joe Namath

625
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:13,900
rip him apart in the media, you're gonna allow Zach Wilson

626
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:17,040
to continue to ruin his organization this season.

627
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,100
Because now, even if he's bringing in a quarterback,

628
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:20,300
it's gonna take him two weeks,

629
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:23,060
which means Zach Wilson's gonna start another two weeks,

630
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:26,020
and he's going to continue to wreck your franchise,

631
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:27,700
and another two weeks started for Zach Wilson,

632
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,620
you might as well get prepared for 2024.

633
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:34,300
He is a disaster, they need to release him expeditiously,

634
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:36,900
and he is going to continue to bring down the organization

635
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:38,480
until he is finally removed.

636
00:30:40,140 --> 00:30:43,340
But up next, we're going to shift into week four,

637
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:44,780
including a recap of last night's

638
00:30:44,780 --> 00:30:49,780
Bay of the Net action.

639
00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:07,660
Welcome back into the show,

640
00:31:08,220 --> 00:31:11,940
and now we're going to discuss NFL week four,

641
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:13,300
the upcoming week.

642
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:14,900
I know you guys try to get you guys

643
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:16,420
this show on Wednesday morning,

644
00:31:16,420 --> 00:31:18,340
say you're getting it Friday afternoon,

645
00:31:18,340 --> 00:31:20,540
my apologies, had some scheduling conflicts,

646
00:31:20,540 --> 00:31:23,820
but I wanted to make sure you guys got this information out

647
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:27,580
and got to hear it prior to the weekend being kicked off.

648
00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:32,020
But last night, we had a very interesting,

649
00:31:32,020 --> 00:31:34,340
or potentially interesting rather,

650
00:31:34,340 --> 00:31:37,180
Thursday night football game between the Detroit Lions

651
00:31:37,180 --> 00:31:38,820
and the Green Bay Packers.

652
00:31:38,820 --> 00:31:41,220
To me, it showcased the class the Lions are in,

653
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,300
they separated themselves from the North.

654
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:45,180
Green Bay should have lost last week

655
00:31:45,180 --> 00:31:46,300
to the New Orleans Saints,

656
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:47,460
so we just spoke about that,

657
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:49,020
or you guys heard about that.

658
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:51,580
Derek Carr goes down with what proves to be

659
00:31:51,580 --> 00:31:53,020
an AC joint injury,

660
00:31:53,020 --> 00:31:55,700
Jameis comes in, does a whole lot of nothing,

661
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:57,360
and the Packers are able to storm back

662
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,340
from 17-0 to a victory.

663
00:32:00,340 --> 00:32:03,040
And so, you go into this week,

664
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,100
I think a lot of that emotional high

665
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,460
might have still been there from last week with the Packers.

666
00:32:07,460 --> 00:32:09,220
And so when they came out flat,

667
00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:11,140
they kind of just took all the spark in the air

668
00:32:11,140 --> 00:32:12,660
out of the room,

669
00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:15,980
and the Lions show again why they've separated themselves

670
00:32:15,980 --> 00:32:17,460
from the NFC North.

671
00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:18,820
I definitely expect them to win

672
00:32:18,820 --> 00:32:22,020
their first NFC North division ever,

673
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:25,960
and their first division since it was the NFC Central

674
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,100
in the late 90s.

675
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:31,020
And so they just found out to separate themselves.

676
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:33,700
But towards the end of that game, man,

677
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:39,620
some bad coaching came out, right?

678
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:43,220
There was no reason to make a few of the decisions

679
00:32:43,220 --> 00:32:45,580
that they made from a coaching staff.

680
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:47,620
From a player's perspective standpoint,

681
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:50,420
Quay Walker jumping over the long snapper

682
00:32:50,420 --> 00:32:52,420
in an attempt to block the field goal,

683
00:32:52,420 --> 00:32:54,660
first of all, it is illegal to jump over a center

684
00:32:54,660 --> 00:32:55,620
from that far.

685
00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:58,020
It is illegal to jump over anybody from that far.

686
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:03,160
I just, I don't understand what Quay Walker was doing there.

687
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,220
There was no benefit to it at all.

688
00:33:05,220 --> 00:33:06,640
He didn't block the kick.

689
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,340
And I looked at my wife and I said,

690
00:33:08,340 --> 00:33:10,500
that is an awful mistake.

691
00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:12,780
Because now worst comes to worst.

692
00:33:12,780 --> 00:33:14,100
Seriously, for the Lions,

693
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,100
he takes two and a half more minutes off the clock

694
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:17,100
to get the field goal.

695
00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:18,820
So now you're in the exact same situation,

696
00:33:18,820 --> 00:33:21,760
but you're down two, two and a half more minutes

697
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,220
before you are able to even begin

698
00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:27,660
to try and recover from it.

699
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:32,500
It was just a great ball game in general.

700
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:35,900
I said, Jordan Love showed me a little fight at the end,

701
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:38,700
but Jared Goff and his high powered offense,

702
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:40,300
along with that defense, a little bit too much.

703
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,220
They forced Jordan Love into an inception.

704
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:45,100
Jared Goff was looking like a legitimately,

705
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:48,100
like an NFL quarterback, like a starter in this league.

706
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,460
And they were just too much for the new Green Bay Packers.

707
00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:56,540
But now we're gonna jump into some games.

708
00:33:56,540 --> 00:33:57,940
We pick a few of them.

709
00:33:57,940 --> 00:33:58,860
So if we pick them,

710
00:33:58,860 --> 00:34:02,700
we are not going to jump in Jack's Pack,

711
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:06,700
but we are going to discuss the games that,

712
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:08,940
we're gonna discuss all the games that I want to discuss.

713
00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:11,460
We're just not gonna pick the ones that are in Jack's Pack.

714
00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:14,380
To press game up, Ravens at Brown,

715
00:34:14,380 --> 00:34:15,420
or Raven versus the Browns.

716
00:34:15,420 --> 00:34:18,640
Now this game feels like a Browns victory,

717
00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:21,100
and it's not in Jack's Pack.

718
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:22,740
So I'm gonna say Brown's victory.

719
00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:25,140
The reason being is the Ravens look like

720
00:34:25,140 --> 00:34:27,500
an infirmary war from World War II.

721
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:30,260
They have more names on the injury reserve

722
00:34:30,260 --> 00:34:33,540
than probably the rest of the league put together.

723
00:34:33,540 --> 00:34:35,480
The Ravens, or the injury report rather,

724
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,620
the Ravens are beat up.

725
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:40,180
They play a physical style even with Todd Monkhan.

726
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:44,580
I already said LaMarr Jackson beefed up last year.

727
00:34:44,580 --> 00:34:45,780
We kept that beef on,

728
00:34:46,700 --> 00:34:50,540
because they are going to take a beating

729
00:34:50,540 --> 00:34:52,260
just with this new system.

730
00:34:52,260 --> 00:34:54,020
Guys stepping around my whole time.

731
00:34:54,020 --> 00:34:59,020
So with that being said,

732
00:35:00,380 --> 00:35:02,500
I believe the Browns are gonna be too much for them.

733
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:03,860
That edge rush from Miles Garry,

734
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:05,220
pass shows from Miles Garry,

735
00:35:06,140 --> 00:35:07,500
Grand Dale put in the back.

736
00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:10,420
I mean, I definitely think that,

737
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:13,620
I definitely think that

738
00:35:15,420 --> 00:35:19,020
the Ravens are gonna struggle against the Browns defense.

739
00:35:19,020 --> 00:35:21,440
No real separators still in Baltimore.

740
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,220
I knew the Browns were gonna take that game

741
00:35:23,220 --> 00:35:24,420
fairly comfortably.

742
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:29,420
I'd say about nine points, 24 to 16.

743
00:35:29,860 --> 00:35:33,420
So that was eight points, 24, 16 Browns.

744
00:35:35,260 --> 00:35:37,500
Next up we got the Bengals and the Titans,

745
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:40,740
which the next four games are all in Jack's pack.

746
00:35:40,740 --> 00:35:44,080
So we won't pick them, but we will talk about them.

747
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,440
So the Bengals and Titans are a very interesting matchup.

748
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,540
The Bengals probably the thing you can have them in

749
00:35:48,540 --> 00:35:49,700
is their secondary.

750
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,500
The Titans strength at this point in time

751
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:53,700
is probably their receivers

752
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:55,660
and their own line in terms of pass protection.

753
00:35:55,660 --> 00:35:58,300
So it's gonna be a very interesting combination.

754
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,660
Trey Hendrickson is gonna decide a lot

755
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:01,740
for the Cincinnati Bengals

756
00:36:01,740 --> 00:36:05,020
because he's able to just flat out wreck a game

757
00:36:05,020 --> 00:36:07,380
with the way he's able to rush the passer.

758
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:10,260
And then of course, Joe Burrow's health.

759
00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:11,780
He escaped against Jeffrey Simmons,

760
00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:14,220
throwing 50 feet, he escaped against Aaron Donner rather,

761
00:36:14,220 --> 00:36:15,820
throwing 54 passes.

762
00:36:15,820 --> 00:36:18,020
And I kind of feel like at a certain point,

763
00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:20,700
they have to realize what is best for Joe Burrow

764
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:22,460
just to give the ball 30, 35 times,

765
00:36:22,460 --> 00:36:24,060
Joe mixing other running backs.

766
00:36:25,940 --> 00:36:30,200
So now you got Jeffrey Simmons across from you in Tennessee,

767
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,260
much better defensive coordinator,

768
00:36:31,260 --> 00:36:34,100
defensive coach with Mike Vrabel involved.

769
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:37,100
And so I just think that repeatedly dropping back

770
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
is gonna be a recipe for disaster.

771
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:42,540
And then flip side to the Titans,

772
00:36:42,540 --> 00:36:45,120
you've got to find a way to mitigate the negative effects

773
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,700
of Ryan Tannehill,

774
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,940
along with keeping guys like Derrick Henry

775
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:53,260
fully, fully engaged in the Tennessee experience as well.

776
00:36:53,260 --> 00:36:56,620
So again, to give him a balance 35, 30 to 40 run game,

777
00:36:56,620 --> 00:36:57,820
because if you allow Trey Henderson

778
00:36:57,820 --> 00:36:59,740
to just continue to tee off on people,

779
00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:02,660
he's gonna make a lot of history and a lot of money.

780
00:37:02,660 --> 00:37:07,660
So that is my synopsis on being with Titans.

781
00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:13,200
Oh, Ezekiel Elliott returns to Dallas for the first time

782
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,580
as a New England Patriots visitor.

783
00:37:16,580 --> 00:37:18,640
It's not just the fact that he's playing his old team,

784
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,580
he's playing his old team in his old building.

785
00:37:21,580 --> 00:37:25,340
Ezekiel Elliott, like I said, returns to Dallas as a visitor.

786
00:37:25,340 --> 00:37:27,260
He returns as a New England Patriot.

787
00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:28,980
And to be honest, he's starting to look like

788
00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:31,340
running back one in New England.

789
00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:33,740
Emma Remandre to me on one A and one B now,

790
00:37:33,740 --> 00:37:36,820
there's no real one two anymore.

791
00:37:36,820 --> 00:37:38,820
Ezek may end up getting a contract extension

792
00:37:38,820 --> 00:37:41,060
from the Patriots, he's playing really, really well.

793
00:37:41,060 --> 00:37:43,420
It wouldn't shock me if he got a contract extension.

794
00:37:43,420 --> 00:37:44,660
He's like, he's come in the building,

795
00:37:44,660 --> 00:37:47,100
put his head down, went to work, lost a few pounds,

796
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:50,620
cut off his hair, he looks to be ready to roll

797
00:37:52,060 --> 00:37:53,860
for a few years in New England.

798
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:55,820
And so it'd be interesting to see what happens there.

799
00:37:55,820 --> 00:37:59,380
But Ezekiel Elliott, he played seven years in Dallas,

800
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:02,460
started this new wave, him and Dak.

801
00:38:02,460 --> 00:38:05,940
So it'd be very interesting to see how his emotions are

802
00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:07,740
entering that building.

803
00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:09,460
If they're the tribute video,

804
00:38:09,460 --> 00:38:13,460
if all the 21 Zeke Juries, I'm sure that'll be in the crowd,

805
00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:15,420
kind of showing him some love and appreciation

806
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:17,260
for giving them a great seven years.

807
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:21,940
And the battle of the bottom.

808
00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:26,420
The Dumpster Bowl, the Toilet Bowl, the,

809
00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:31,420
oh, this is on TV, ah, game, is Bears and Broncos.

810
00:38:32,020 --> 00:38:36,500
Now, the Broncos just lost a football game 70 to 20.

811
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:38,700
The Bears lost a football game by about 30,

812
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:40,340
35 points themselves.

813
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:44,100
One has a quarterback, people think a wash,

814
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:45,380
and it's too old.

815
00:38:45,380 --> 00:38:49,020
The other has a quarterback, people think never had it.

816
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:51,980
Both of them have solid defensive players.

817
00:38:51,980 --> 00:38:53,780
Both of them are pretty decent skill players.

818
00:38:53,780 --> 00:38:55,940
Both quarterbacks oddly kind of remind of each other

819
00:38:55,940 --> 00:38:57,700
when they're both playing like this.

820
00:38:59,780 --> 00:39:02,100
And both have, well, Sean Payton cast a check

821
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:03,300
that currently his team's not,

822
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,980
well, it's wrote a check his team's currently not catching.

823
00:39:05,980 --> 00:39:09,780
The Chicago Bears is kind of wading through the water

824
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:11,140
of Justin and Phil's situation,

825
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:12,540
because I believe that if he doesn't turn around

826
00:39:12,540 --> 00:39:14,380
and turn around quickly and dramatically,

827
00:39:14,380 --> 00:39:17,220
he's gonna be an ex-Chicago Bear sooner rather than later,

828
00:39:17,220 --> 00:39:19,980
because the new GM is gonna want his own guy.

829
00:39:20,820 --> 00:39:25,140
And so it is the battle of the Toilet Bowl.

830
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:27,940
It's not great at all.

831
00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:31,380
But they have the ability, in this case,

832
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:34,940
to try and both teams have a chance to bounce back.

833
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:37,220
If you're the Bears, you have a chance to launch

834
00:39:37,220 --> 00:39:38,700
and kind of get some respectability

835
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:40,380
into a 5-6 win season.

836
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:42,860
If you're the Broncos, you still have playoff aspirations.

837
00:39:42,860 --> 00:39:45,340
Now I get it, you're a weather there with 0-3.

838
00:39:46,820 --> 00:39:51,100
You have an opportunity here to launch from this point on.

839
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:52,660
Again, you're in the same division as the Chargers

840
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:54,540
and the Chiefs, that's not fun.

841
00:39:54,540 --> 00:39:56,220
But you have the ability here to launch

842
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:58,420
and try and salvage some of this season

843
00:39:58,420 --> 00:40:00,540
and do your absolute best to save it.

844
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:02,660
You know, you got Russell Wilson,

845
00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:03,500
give him some confidence,

846
00:40:03,500 --> 00:40:04,980
give that defense some confidence,

847
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:07,740
or find out if you gotta make some staff personnel changes

848
00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:08,580
immediately.

849
00:40:08,580 --> 00:40:10,580
I would have fired the DC after giving him 70.

850
00:40:10,580 --> 00:40:12,660
But he's trying to figure out if you gotta do some staff

851
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:15,060
or personnel changes.

852
00:40:15,060 --> 00:40:19,020
But up next, we're going to jump into our continuing success

853
00:40:19,020 --> 00:40:21,300
of our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack.

854
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:24,460
["Jax Pack Theme Song"]

855
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:29,460
["Jax Pack Theme Song"]

856
00:40:38,780 --> 00:40:43,620
Welcome back into the show.

857
00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:47,460
And now we're jumping into our continuously successful

858
00:40:47,460 --> 00:40:50,140
NFL betting segment, Jax Pack.

859
00:40:50,140 --> 00:40:52,660
We are working on our third consecutive winning week

860
00:40:52,660 --> 00:40:55,060
in a row, three in two in all three weeks,

861
00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:57,220
which brings our total to nine in six,

862
00:40:57,220 --> 00:40:59,660
including undefeated, as you heard me,

863
00:40:59,660 --> 00:41:02,500
undefeated three and oh on our lock bets.

864
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:03,500
You don't believe me?

865
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:05,540
Check, check, check, check my last episodes.

866
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:07,060
They're timestamped, go write to Jax Pack

867
00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:08,580
and check my last episodes.

868
00:41:08,580 --> 00:41:11,500
We are three and oh right now on our lock bets,

869
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:12,980
nine and six total.

870
00:41:12,980 --> 00:41:14,860
It gives a 60% win rate.

871
00:41:14,860 --> 00:41:17,180
I say it every week and I'm gonna continue saying it.

872
00:41:17,180 --> 00:41:18,820
To be a professional gambler,

873
00:41:18,820 --> 00:41:22,620
you want your success rate to be around 54 to 56%.

874
00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:24,980
We are currently hitting 60% right now

875
00:41:24,980 --> 00:41:26,780
on our point spread selections

876
00:41:26,780 --> 00:41:28,780
and I'm trying to keep the momentum rolling.

877
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,260
We have one lock this week as always.

878
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:35,340
The lock, like I said, last week is like a two unit bet.

879
00:41:35,340 --> 00:41:37,260
So a unit bet is whatever you're comfortable betting.

880
00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:39,460
So if you bet $10 on a game,

881
00:41:39,460 --> 00:41:41,020
one unit for you would be $10,

882
00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:43,340
a two unit bet would be $20.

883
00:41:43,340 --> 00:41:45,060
If you're a $100 gambler,

884
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:47,140
then a one unit bet for you is $100,

885
00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:49,140
a two unit bet would be $200.

886
00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:52,940
So our locks, I treat them as two unit bets.

887
00:41:52,940 --> 00:41:55,540
And the rest of the bets are one unit,

888
00:41:55,540 --> 00:41:57,340
standard one unit bets.

889
00:41:57,340 --> 00:41:59,140
But let's get right into it.

890
00:41:59,140 --> 00:42:01,140
So we have our first game,

891
00:42:01,140 --> 00:42:03,220
which is our lock Saints minus three and a half

892
00:42:03,220 --> 00:42:04,220
over the Bucks.

893
00:42:06,060 --> 00:42:07,620
It's a home game from New Orleans.

894
00:42:07,620 --> 00:42:08,900
So that's automatically three points.

895
00:42:08,900 --> 00:42:11,140
I think they're just a little bit better team.

896
00:42:11,140 --> 00:42:13,100
Mike Evans usually plays horrible

897
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:14,420
against Marshawn Lattimore.

898
00:42:14,420 --> 00:42:16,180
He has been ever since the big incident

899
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:18,100
that first started their rivalry.

900
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:19,580
The pass rush is going to cave in

901
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:22,580
the Tampa Bay offensive line.

902
00:42:22,580 --> 00:42:24,780
The pass rush of New Orleans, they play physical.

903
00:42:24,780 --> 00:42:26,260
Tom Brady struggled to beat him.

904
00:42:26,260 --> 00:42:28,700
I think Brady only beat him one time in his time in Tampa.

905
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:30,380
And in that one time, he was in the playoffs.

906
00:42:30,380 --> 00:42:31,900
Now it was a time that mattered.

907
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,780
It was a time to ultimately kick catapulted Tampa

908
00:42:34,780 --> 00:42:36,460
into the Superbowl.

909
00:42:36,460 --> 00:42:38,700
But he only beat them one time.

910
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:41,180
I think he ever beat them in the regular season.

911
00:42:41,180 --> 00:42:43,620
In the dome is loud, it's raucous.

912
00:42:43,620 --> 00:42:45,900
They hate the NFC South and they show it.

913
00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:48,900
They say with Mike Evans always struggling against

914
00:42:50,380 --> 00:42:52,020
Marshawn Lattimore,

915
00:42:52,020 --> 00:42:54,100
adding in that pass rush versus Baker Mayfield.

916
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:55,500
Baker's playing with his confidence.

917
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:57,860
It's time for Baker to let you down.

918
00:42:57,860 --> 00:43:01,460
I think New Orleans wins it by about 10, 27, 17.

919
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:06,260
Patriots plus six and a half at the Cowboys.

920
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:10,100
I think the Pacemen win this game all right.

921
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:12,740
Dallas is going to struggle without Trayvon Deeks

922
00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:15,380
for a while, because they kind of have to figure it out.

923
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:18,420
And the benefit of Dallas was they can kind of,

924
00:43:18,420 --> 00:43:20,740
along with the defensive line made by Michael Parsons

925
00:43:20,740 --> 00:43:21,980
and that pass rush,

926
00:43:21,980 --> 00:43:24,740
they kind of was sending in extra blitzers

927
00:43:24,740 --> 00:43:27,060
because they knew they had Trayvon Deeks to find Gilmore.

928
00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:29,540
I have two of the best six or seven cover corners

929
00:43:29,540 --> 00:43:30,940
in the league.

930
00:43:30,940 --> 00:43:35,180
And so I could send some hell at you in terms of blitzing.

931
00:43:35,180 --> 00:43:37,700
So now only is Michael Parsons coming.

932
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:38,980
I'm sending in a blitz.

933
00:43:38,980 --> 00:43:41,340
And your receivers are blanketed from the snap.

934
00:43:41,340 --> 00:43:42,580
Use your outside receivers.

935
00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:43,900
So you gotta figure out how to operate

936
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:46,580
through the middle of the field quickly.

937
00:43:46,580 --> 00:43:49,060
And that was a rough recipe for a lot of people

938
00:43:49,060 --> 00:43:52,380
trying to go against that Dallas defense.

939
00:43:52,380 --> 00:43:55,060
And so the Patriots however,

940
00:43:55,060 --> 00:43:56,940
have their office lines getting healthy.

941
00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:59,660
They have receivers that can operate anywhere on the field.

942
00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:01,620
And what people realized last week,

943
00:44:01,620 --> 00:44:03,580
I noticed there had been a lot of the commentary

944
00:44:03,580 --> 00:44:07,700
and the discourse is that running at Michael Parsons works.

945
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:09,860
He struggles against to just stop a run

946
00:44:09,860 --> 00:44:11,980
that's coming straight at him.

947
00:44:11,980 --> 00:44:15,460
And so running directly at Michael Parsons

948
00:44:15,460 --> 00:44:17,780
seems to be negatively affecting him.

949
00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:20,020
It's at least slowing down his pass rush.

950
00:44:20,020 --> 00:44:21,900
Games where teams run right at him

951
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:23,500
more often than they want to rate from him.

952
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:28,500
His pass rush rate is significantly reduced.

953
00:44:28,940 --> 00:44:32,460
And so I think that that's what the league is gonna do.

954
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:34,900
Bill O'Brien is gonna attack right at Michael Parsons.

955
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:37,180
This game is gonna be a game that's gonna be slower.

956
00:44:37,180 --> 00:44:38,540
Zeke's gonna get 20,

957
00:44:38,540 --> 00:44:40,340
Zeke might get 20 carries on Sunday.

958
00:44:40,340 --> 00:44:41,420
It's gonna be emotional.

959
00:44:41,420 --> 00:44:43,860
He's playing over his skis emotionally.

960
00:44:45,260 --> 00:44:47,260
I think the players are gonna run the ball at Michael Parsons.

961
00:44:47,260 --> 00:44:48,100
They're gonna do their best

962
00:44:48,100 --> 00:44:49,940
to keep it away from that pass rush.

963
00:44:49,940 --> 00:44:52,500
You can have the Cowboys inside.

964
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:55,700
So Michael Parsons to the middle is very available.

965
00:44:55,700 --> 00:44:58,300
To the outside, to the other side gets a little fishy,

966
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:01,060
but you can take that team if you come through the middle.

967
00:45:01,060 --> 00:45:02,340
And so I think that New England

968
00:45:02,340 --> 00:45:04,060
may end up flat out winning this game,

969
00:45:04,060 --> 00:45:05,300
but I definitely think they're a little bit more

970
00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:06,140
than a touchdown.

971
00:45:06,140 --> 00:45:08,340
So I've got New England plus six and a half.

972
00:45:08,340 --> 00:45:13,340
Jets plus eight and a half at the Chiefs, versus the Chiefs.

973
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:18,100
All right, so this one, I'm confident in this one.

974
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:20,100
Probably my least favorite number this week,

975
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:21,140
but I am confident in this one

976
00:45:21,140 --> 00:45:23,140
because of the Jets defense.

977
00:45:23,140 --> 00:45:24,980
Kansas City's offense looks like something

978
00:45:24,980 --> 00:45:27,380
out of a horror movie at times.

979
00:45:27,380 --> 00:45:28,980
They just don't look right.

980
00:45:28,980 --> 00:45:32,500
And so with the Jets coming in with that elite level defense,

981
00:45:32,500 --> 00:45:35,940
they're gonna keep New York in every single game.

982
00:45:35,940 --> 00:45:37,620
I think that New York is going to,

983
00:45:37,620 --> 00:45:39,020
they're gonna be forced to run the ball this week

984
00:45:39,020 --> 00:45:41,740
with a lot of Breece Hall, a lot of Dalvin Cook,

985
00:45:41,740 --> 00:45:44,620
try and run the ball right at Kansas City,

986
00:45:44,620 --> 00:45:46,780
because Zach Wilson's just not gonna do it.

987
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:48,420
And if he throws too many in the substance game,

988
00:45:48,420 --> 00:45:50,100
got a hand quickly.

989
00:45:50,100 --> 00:45:53,700
But I just think that the Jets are gonna keep this game

990
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:54,940
closed defensively.

991
00:45:54,940 --> 00:45:57,180
I think it'll be a low scoring contest.

992
00:45:57,180 --> 00:45:59,180
I can see the Jets eking out two touchdowns,

993
00:45:59,180 --> 00:46:01,420
however, against that defense.

994
00:46:01,420 --> 00:46:08,100
So I have the Kansas City Chiefs winning 20 to 13.

995
00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:11,540
Broncos minus three and a half at the Bears.

996
00:46:11,540 --> 00:46:13,700
The Chicago Bears, the worst team in the NFL.

997
00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:16,220
And at this point, I believe they're literally tanking.

998
00:46:16,220 --> 00:46:19,020
The Denver Broncos have every reason to not tank.

999
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:20,980
This is one of those games where if Sean Payton

1000
00:46:20,980 --> 00:46:23,940
is going to ever consistently win in Denver,

1001
00:46:23,940 --> 00:46:26,020
if Russell Wilson's ever going to,

1002
00:46:26,020 --> 00:46:28,580
to me, get his Hall of Fame chances back,

1003
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:30,300
they're gonna have to blow the Bears out.

1004
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:31,580
They're gonna have to dominate the Bears

1005
00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:32,900
from the time the ball is kicked.

1006
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:35,900
We don't lose 70 to 20 in the NFL

1007
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:38,420
and then lose the next week and keep jobs.

1008
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:40,740
So I think that they're going to have to dominate the Bears

1009
00:46:40,740 --> 00:46:41,820
from the opening jump.

1010
00:46:41,820 --> 00:46:44,140
I think they handled the Bears early.

1011
00:46:44,140 --> 00:46:46,620
Kansas City just punched on the Bears quickly.

1012
00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:49,980
I think the Broncos are gonna get Chicago out of there

1013
00:46:49,980 --> 00:46:51,740
sooner rather than later.

1014
00:46:51,740 --> 00:46:55,260
And they win the game 27 to 10.

1015
00:46:56,620 --> 00:46:59,780
And then Bengals minus two and a half at the Titans.

1016
00:46:59,780 --> 00:47:01,100
I'll take the Bengals here.

1017
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:03,260
I've got the Bengals winning by,

1018
00:47:03,260 --> 00:47:05,780
it's gonna be closer just because of the inability

1019
00:47:05,780 --> 00:47:07,940
of Joe Burrow in order to,

1020
00:47:09,180 --> 00:47:12,700
in order to throw the ball down the field.

1021
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:13,820
He's still trying to adjust to doing,

1022
00:47:13,820 --> 00:47:16,860
get basically pushing off, not his foot.

1023
00:47:16,860 --> 00:47:18,460
And so I think the Titans are gonna be able

1024
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:21,460
to get some pressure in there, slow down the run game.

1025
00:47:21,460 --> 00:47:22,620
I just don't trust Ryan Tanner.

1026
00:47:22,620 --> 00:47:23,900
He'll do anything productive.

1027
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:26,500
The Bengals are gonna load up to stop Derrick Henry.

1028
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:28,180
I just think that the Bengals are gonna ultimately

1029
00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:30,380
squeak out enough points.

1030
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:33,660
To me, the defense the Bengals played last week

1031
00:47:33,660 --> 00:47:35,620
is a better defense than they're playing this week.

1032
00:47:35,620 --> 00:47:37,900
And so even though Mike Varebo is a hell of a coach,

1033
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:39,820
I just think that the Bengals squeak out enough points

1034
00:47:39,820 --> 00:47:44,020
to cover the three 2017 Bengals.

1035
00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:46,660
So just to recap, got Saints minus three and a half

1036
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:48,660
over the Bucs in our lock of the week.

1037
00:47:48,660 --> 00:47:50,940
Pats plus six and a half over the Cowboys.

1038
00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:53,260
Jets plus eight and a half over the Chiefs.

1039
00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:55,860
Broncos minus three and a half over the Bears.

1040
00:47:55,860 --> 00:47:58,820
Bengals minus two and a half over the Titans.

1041
00:47:58,820 --> 00:48:01,540
But up next, we're going to have our Jets hot take,

1042
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:04,260
which is going to be about the WNBA's only hope.

1043
00:48:04,260 --> 00:48:27,780
bibliography.

1044
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:35,460
Welcome in to the show.

1045
00:48:35,460 --> 00:48:41,220
And now we're going to talk about the WNBA and their only hope that they have left in

1046
00:48:41,220 --> 00:48:45,420
the WNBA to stop the Las Vegas Aces and that's the New York Liberty.

1047
00:48:45,420 --> 00:48:47,260
I know Connecticut Sun fans.

1048
00:48:47,260 --> 00:48:48,740
I know WNBA fans.

1049
00:48:48,740 --> 00:48:50,260
They're trying to sell me on the Connecticut Sun.

1050
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:53,380
I'm with you, except I'm not.

1051
00:48:53,380 --> 00:48:57,380
The only the Las Vegas Aces, I believe lost six games all season.

1052
00:48:57,380 --> 00:48:58,380
Three of them went to the Liberty.

1053
00:48:58,380 --> 00:49:02,460
That means the rest of the WNBA combined beat them three times.

1054
00:49:02,460 --> 00:49:07,740
If there is any chance for somebody to beat the Las Vegas Aces three out of five times,

1055
00:49:07,740 --> 00:49:10,460
it is the New York Liberty.

1056
00:49:10,460 --> 00:49:12,340
That is the only hope.

1057
00:49:12,340 --> 00:49:15,300
Someone cue up Princess Leia.

1058
00:49:15,300 --> 00:49:18,340
Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

1059
00:49:18,340 --> 00:49:21,500
The New York Liberty, you're the W's only hope.

1060
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:22,980
Now I'm rooting for the Aces here.

1061
00:49:22,980 --> 00:49:24,780
I'm pulling for them.

1062
00:49:24,780 --> 00:49:28,180
The W basketball, I've noticed, grows with dynasties.

1063
00:49:28,180 --> 00:49:31,300
Every great growth period in the NBA came with the dynasty.

1064
00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:36,780
When the WNBA was at its most popular, the two most popular periods in the NBA history,

1065
00:49:36,780 --> 00:49:40,340
its inception, the dynasty comments won four in a row.

1066
00:49:40,340 --> 00:49:43,540
And then during the era of the Lynx, where they won like four out of six or four out

1067
00:49:43,540 --> 00:49:46,160
of seven or something like that.

1068
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,860
That is when the WNBA was the most popular.

1069
00:49:48,860 --> 00:49:53,940
And then currently, after the Wubble, it grew tremendously.

1070
00:49:53,940 --> 00:49:59,260
And then also in the NBA, tremendous areas of growth.

1071
00:49:59,260 --> 00:50:02,780
The 60s with Bill Russell, and it fell off in the 70s.

1072
00:50:02,780 --> 00:50:05,700
They were the dominant champion.

1073
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:10,540
And then the 80s, it gets saved because of Magic and Bird.

1074
00:50:10,540 --> 00:50:17,260
In the 80s, Magic has five titles, Bird has three, Isaiah has, or in the 80s, yeah, between

1075
00:50:17,260 --> 00:50:23,300
79 and 90, when the NBA gets saved, because they come in into 79, Magic has five, Bird

1076
00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:26,340
has three, Zeke has two, Dr. J has one.

1077
00:50:26,340 --> 00:50:29,220
Directly after them, Michael Jordan wins six in eight years.

1078
00:50:29,220 --> 00:50:32,380
When it's not Michael Jordan, it's Hakeem Olajuwon.

1079
00:50:32,380 --> 00:50:38,140
Then it goes right into Kobe and Shaq for three years.

1080
00:50:38,140 --> 00:50:39,140
And then guess what?

1081
00:50:39,140 --> 00:50:43,060
The NBA dovetails because there's no dynasty.

1082
00:50:43,060 --> 00:50:46,980
And then LeBron arrives to the forefront.

1083
00:50:46,980 --> 00:50:50,420
He's winning MVP, and he's in the finals every year, and the NBA skyrockets.

1084
00:50:50,420 --> 00:50:52,440
And then the Warriors and the skyrockets again.

1085
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,420
The NBA, well, basketball in general, is built on dynasties.

1086
00:50:55,420 --> 00:50:56,980
Football doesn't want dynasties.

1087
00:50:56,980 --> 00:50:59,100
Football wants parity.

1088
00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:01,220
Basketball wants dynasties.

1089
00:51:01,220 --> 00:51:04,700
So I'm rooting as a WNBA fan for the 80s to win this year and next year.

1090
00:51:04,700 --> 00:51:05,700
Just win three in a row.

1091
00:51:05,700 --> 00:51:09,260
Just win three in a row and just be a dominant team, dominant organization, because then

1092
00:51:09,260 --> 00:51:14,940
the WNBA can literally put the league on their backs, and they carry them into the next era

1093
00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:16,060
of the WNBA.

1094
00:51:16,060 --> 00:51:20,820
But the only hope for any other fan base in the WNBA for that not to happen is that the

1095
00:51:20,820 --> 00:51:24,860
Liberty win against the Connecticut Sun, plain and simple.

1096
00:51:24,860 --> 00:51:30,580
So I think that the WNBA title will be the Las Vegas Aces, and I think they'll play the

1097
00:51:30,580 --> 00:51:32,900
Connecticut Sun, and they'll beat them in four games.

1098
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:35,740
Alyssa Thomas and DeWana Biner ain't enough.

1099
00:51:35,740 --> 00:51:40,400
And so I just think that the Aces will win, and they will ultimately show up and show

1100
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:49,100
out against the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA finals.

1101
00:51:49,100 --> 00:51:53,660
But that is all I have for you guys today.

1102
00:51:53,660 --> 00:51:58,660
I hope you guys have a great rest of your weekend.

1103
00:51:58,660 --> 00:52:03,500
Appreciate you guys for sticking around with me today.

1104
