Welcome into the show.

15
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,280
So excited to have you guys here with me on a Wednesday morning.

16
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,560
Well, recording is Tuesday night.

17
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,600
By the time you hear this, Wednesday morning, excuse my voice.

18
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,560
My voice is a little bit odd.

19
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,800
I've been feeling under the weather the past few days.

20
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,720
For some reason, my voice decided that it wanted to go out.

21
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,520
It sounds like me after I finish coaching.

22
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,960
For those of you who don't know, I am a high school football coach, defensive coordinator.

23
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,560
We're four on four right now.

24
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Shout out to Baker Buffaloes.

25
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,000
But it sounded like my voice right after I'm finished coaching.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,920
And so, again, I sound a little bit like Doc Rivers.

27
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,840
But, again, excuse me.

28
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,560
I apologize for my voice.

29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,840
I've been feeling under the weather the past few days.

30
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,680
But I wanted to make sure I came in and recorded and gave you guys some content for this week.

31
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Because I know that you guys look forward to my podcast.

32
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,400
Especially my fans over in Southeast Asia, Germany, France, picking up as well.

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,040
And of course, my American friends.

34
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,640
I always love you guys.

35
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:36,240
But we're going to jump right into the show.

36
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,480
As you heard in the intro, we've got last week and this week at the NFL.

37
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,880
We've got Jax back, which has taken a hit last week.

38
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Last week was brutal.

39
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,640
Then we have touch on the NBA.

40
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:47,640
The NBA is back.

41
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:51,080
And then we'll have Jax hot take.

42
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,560
But the NBA is back.

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:02,760
I am watching currently the tail end of Lakers and Nuggets, which I'll touch on that probably

44
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,960
later in the show.

45
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,040
But the NBA is back.

46
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,840
So excited the NBA is back.

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Nikola Jokic looks really, really in shape, which should be scary for the rest of the

48
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,840
NBA.

49
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,840
He doesn't have his baby fat on.

50
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,920
We got to talk about the NBA now, I guess.

51
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:21,020
He doesn't have his baby fat on.

52
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:25,880
So that's got to be terrifying for the rest of the NBA.

53
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,160
And in regards to the Lakers, they look good.

54
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,960
I just think there's a lot of new moving pieces.

55
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,000
I think the Lakers might be one of the teams that start off 5 and 5, 6 and 6, 5 and 7.

56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,200
And then kind of have to roll their way into maybe an 8, 9, 10 game win streak where they

57
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,720
go from 8th in the West, 9th in the West to 1st or 2nd.

58
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,520
I think they're going to be one of those kind of teams.

59
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,040
They have to figure out what they're going to do with Cameron.

60
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Jackson Hayes looks out of place.

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,960
Gabe Vincent doesn't really know what shots he wants to take.

62
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,280
And even in year 21, LeBron is the ecosystem.

63
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920
So when he's on the court, the Lakers look like one of the better teams that you're going

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,160
to see in basketball.

65
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,160
He's off the court.

66
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,880
They get there playing the Nuggets, but he's the lookalike of a team that was struggling

67
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,880
to make the playoffs.

68
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,000
It's not something you want considering that LeBron has spoken about how he wants Anthony

69
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,520
Davis to take over at this age and stage in AD's career.

70
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,840
A hell of a player by Ricky Jackson.

71
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:27,840
Sheesh.

72
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:28,840
Oh, sorry.

73
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,040
I can tell you he was called a pope, my apologies.

74
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,680
But you got a lot of guys on Denver that just know their role.

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
The guys who came back from last year know what they're doing.

76
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Yo Kitsch, Bron, Brady Jackson, KCP, Aaron Gordon, Jamar Murray.

77
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,140
Interesting switch decision there.

78
00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:54,720
Those guys just know what they're doing.

79
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,480
And so out of the 10 guys that are playing, that have played, seven of them were key rotational

80
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,560
guys last year.

81
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,240
So Denver, Michael Porter Jr., Denver knows pretty much how they want to play.

82
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,320
I'm looking at the court now for the Lakers.

83
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,080
There was three Lakers on it.

84
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Two Lakers on it from the start of last season.

85
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,600
Not one Laker on it from the start of last season being Anthony Davis.

86
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:30,640
Of course, D-Lo and Hachimura coming with the trade deadline, Vincent and you can't

87
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,640
see who the fifth started.

88
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,840
Oh, that's Cam Reddish arrive in his off season.

89
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:40,400
So the Lakers are going to try and figure their way out.

90
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,560
They cut the lead down on Denver.

91
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Denver pushes it back out.

92
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,680
And then it would be very interesting as well in the second game with Phoenix and Golden

93
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,640
State because Phoenix has a depth problem thanks to them deciding to blow completely

94
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:00,640
through the second luxury tax, which if you guys know anything about the luxury tax system,

95
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,960
that is the way to go.

96
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,600
And so if you guys are unfamiliar with the luxury tax, especially with the second luxury

97
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,600
tax apron, if you decide to blow through it, you guys go to the second, you might want

98
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,600
to blow through it because the penalties for being one penny over are so painful.

99
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:28,600
You might as well just blow through it because one penny over means that, you know, you're

100
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,040
restricted, but you can't use second round picks and trades and you can't, you got to

101
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
go player for player in every trade, player for player and dollar for dollar in every

102
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,880
trade.

103
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,720
You can't acquire cash in a deal.

104
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,720
It's just, it's so many restrictions.

105
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,080
Um, I don't know, might have experience tomorrow night.

106
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,080
That'd be interesting.

107
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:53,480
I got to arrive at Victorin Bayama, but um, officially, but there's so many restrictions

108
00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:02,080
to being a second apron team that Boston, Golden State, Phoenix, uh, they've just decided

109
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,920
that we're going to blow through it.

110
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,160
There's no point in being one penny in it.

111
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,360
We're going to sign for agents all the way to it and then resign our guys all the way

112
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:19,640
through it and we'll just be a ridiculously, um, sorry, uh, we'll just be a ridiculous

113
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,200
really, uh, high tax team.

114
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:29,720
Uh, Denver, uh, wouldn't go into the tax like that for, uh, Bruce Brown.

115
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,320
So Lakers blew through it, uh, or it got right up to it.

116
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,280
So there's, uh, multiple teams that just decided we're going to blow right through it.

117
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,680
Don't really care.

118
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,080
Because once you won penny over, you figured it's the cost of winning a championship.

119
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,560
You'll pay extra 200, 250 million dollars in luxury tax over four or five years.

120
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,280
If it guarantees you a title, I mean, it's how most owners kind of look at it.

121
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,340
And so that's what most owners decided to do.

122
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:57,280
So that, uh, so Phoenix did that.

123
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,680
My HPA came in, of course, Kevin Durant trade, Bradley Bill trade, Chris Paul trade, all

124
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,720
within six months of each other and also handed out a bunch of contract extensions.

125
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,520
Um, he also made the move of course to get rid of the Andre Aiden, which, uh, helped

126
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,280
facilitate some bench movement back.

127
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,880
Um, but, and then he helped facilitate the Damien Lillitray to Milwaukee.

128
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,560
Um, they got some big movement back, but for the most part it's built around the big four,

129
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,680
uh, Booker, Katie, uh, Bradley Bill, and now Yousef Nurgich.

130
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,200
Uh, and so it's been around the big three though, Booker, Katie, and Bradley Bill.

131
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,280
Um, now who are they going to guard?

132
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Absolutely no idea.

133
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,480
I don't know who Bradley Bill is going to guard on the basketball court.

134
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,120
Um, and in the event that they do have an injury, like Bradley Bill has a back situation,

135
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,800
who's going to step up is Grayson Allen.

136
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:58,160
You know, like it kind of falls off the map and their weakness of lack of depth pops through,

137
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,680
uh, tremendously whenever one of them is down.

138
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,680
So that's going to be something to keep our eye on with Phoenix, how they move and maneuver

139
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,680
without Bradley Bill.

140
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:12,720
I'm sure for one game it won't be that big of a problem, but if Bradley Bill's back becomes

141
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,000
a lingering thing because Bill has had injury concerns.

142
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,960
Kevin Durant has missed time with injury.

143
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,240
Devin Booker is the 30th title of the group.

144
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,440
He's missed some time with injury, which feels like the modern take on every NBA player.

145
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,840
Who misses time with injury?

146
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,760
And so that's just the way it's going to go in Phoenix.

147
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,600
They're going to have to depend on health, which is why I didn't really pick Phoenix

148
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,440
to go very far because again, they're going to have to depend on health.

149
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Um, it doesn't tend to make this an NBA topic, but hey, love it.

150
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Um, and so since we're here, I might as well do my awards.

151
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,120
I'm an individual award person.

152
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,600
I'm not into all NBAs, all that stuff.

153
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,760
I don't pick them, but I will pick the big five.

154
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,480
So MVP, defensive player of the year, sixth man of the year, most improved and then coach

155
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,520
of the year.

156
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:13,280
And so my MVP selection, I think Giannis goes and gets it again.

157
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800
I just think he has the ability to play with Damian Lowe this year.

158
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,760
He's going to see more space than he ever has in his life.

159
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,680
I just think Giannis, well, since he became the Giannis we know now, I just think Giannis

160
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:28,520
is going to see so much space that he's going to easily dominate in the paint, you know,

161
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,200
30 and 12, 30 and 15 might be regular stat lines for him.

162
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:42,440
And because of which I can see Giannis winning the MVP award for my most, for my sixth man

163
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,040
of the year.

164
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,440
Um, that one is a little bit tricky because these lineups, I think going to shuffle so

165
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,200
much, but one candidate I would drive the train for is Chris Paul.

166
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,160
As you guys know, Chris Paul's on the Golden State Warriors now after getting bounced a

167
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,660
couple of locations in the off season, feeling so Washington into Golden State.

168
00:11:02,660 --> 00:11:07,800
I think that Chris Paul has the opportunity here to win sixth man of the year.

169
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,080
I don't see, I don't see Chris Paul starting.

170
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Now Chris Paul has started every single game of his NBA career, his entire NBA career.

171
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,440
I just don't see Chris Paul starting.

172
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,680
It doesn't make basketball sense.

173
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,480
If you look at it, do you really want to start a lineup with Chris Paul who can't guard anybody

174
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,480
these days?

175
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Steph Curry who you don't want guarding anybody these days?

176
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,200
Clay Thompson who last year with a shell of himself on defense.

177
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins are starting lineup.

178
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,000
That means your tallest player is six foot seven.

179
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,200
You can only, and even with that little, even with that small of a lineup, your switching

180
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160
versatility doesn't involve either of your guards.

181
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:04,920
So you're in a situation where you're in an awful spot if you are the Golden State Warriors

182
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,200
by starting Chris Paul.

183
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:13,040
However, if you start Kavon Looney, now you have a real big, you still are in the same

184
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,800
Swiss limitations, but at least now you have a real big.

185
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,040
And Chris Paul come off the bench, captain of your second unit, he's the best second

186
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,520
unit leader arguably ever.

187
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,400
I mean, we're talking him and Manu Janobili.

188
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,880
And so if I'm Chris Paul, that's the decision I make with the organization.

189
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,200
I say Chris Paul is my sixth man of the year.

190
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,240
Oh, I also do Ricky of the Year as well.

191
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,480
I'm sorry.

192
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,440
For Coach of the Year, I think Coach of the Year is an interesting pick.

193
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,480
I think it's going to be Darvin Ham.

194
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,480
Either Darvin Ham or Willie Green.

195
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,840
You know, I'm going to go Willie Green.

196
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,840
I'm not going to go Darvin Ham.

197
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,280
I'm going to go Willie Green here with the New Orleans Pelicans.

198
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,520
And this may be hard overhead here because my head's saying Darvin Ham, but it may be

199
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,520
hard overhead here.

200
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,520
But I think the Pelicans have finally figured out for the most part the health situation

201
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,760
of their big three.

202
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,120
Now obviously it all hinges on Zion.

203
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:17,560
If Zion can find a way to play 60 games, I think they'll win 48 of the 60 he plays, win

204
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,840
eight of the 22 he doesn't, and they're a 50-60 winning team.

205
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600
You know, it's just, it's that simple in New Orleans.

206
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,080
If he can play 65 games, they may win 40, you know, they may win 50-52 with those.

207
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,760
17 he doesn't play, they win five.

208
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240
They're a 57-win team, probably number one seed.

209
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,080
People forgive before he goes down in December.

210
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,600
Even with Brandon Ingram already being down, the Pelicans were tied for first with the

211
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,240
Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference in the middle of December.

212
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:51,040
However, then he goes down, Ingram's already out, the team dovetails.

213
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,160
That is the kind of firepower New Orleans possesses.

214
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,200
CJ McCullough must fix his hand injury.

215
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,120
Zion Williamson looks to be in the best shape he's been in since his NBA career started.

216
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,760
Brandon Ingram, of course, is there.

217
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160
They still have Jonas Valanchunas.

218
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:12,080
You know, they have a lot of those guys still readily available to play in New Orleans.

219
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,760
So I just think that it is the opportunity for the Pelicans to put it all together.

220
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,000
And I think Michael, oh, not Michael Malone, I was talking about the Nuggets thing.

221
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,160
Willie Green wins Coach of the Year in the NBA.

222
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:33,360
Defensive Player of the Year, that's an award that kind of varies up and down.

223
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,560
But I'm going to give it to Joel Embiid.

224
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:43,040
I think that Embiid is going to have to anchor the defense in Philly even more than usual.

225
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,400
And so I just think that he's going to have to anchor that defense, like I said, a little

226
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:52,160
bit more than usual in Philly, especially with the drama with James Harden.

227
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,560
And so I just think they're going to have to lean a little bit more on the defensive

228
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,560
end.

229
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,480
They're going to have to be better than an anchor than a 7'2", 7'3 guy in Joel Embiid.

230
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,560
And so I think that Embiid is going to win Defensive Player of the Year.

231
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,440
For my Rookie of the Year, I think it's going to be easily Victor Wimbenyama.

232
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,760
Now I think Chet is going to give him a run for his money because Chet didn't play last

233
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,760
year.

234
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,840
So the NBA has that real rule that's not like in any other sport.

235
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,960
If you don't play a minute in your Rookie of the Year, you can technically redshirt.

236
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:32,360
James Embiid redshirted two years, Blake Griffin redshirted, Ben Simmons had the redshirt year.

237
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240
Julius Randall didn't because he got hurt like on his first play.

238
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,680
But it's like, you know, Blake Griffin had the redshirt year.

239
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,240
So if you don't play, you can kind of redshirt your first year rookie, your first year, and

240
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,780
then have your real two of your contract be your rookie in the NBA.

241
00:15:50,780 --> 00:15:54,800
And so Chet is going to be in that Rookie of the Year race with Victor.

242
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,280
So the two long lanky forward center guys are going to be in the same Rookie of the

243
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,280
Year race.

244
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,920
I just think that Victor is going to have so much hype coming in.

245
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:09,480
It's going to be like LeBron and Mello where Chet numbers may look a little better, maybe.

246
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,840
But Victor is going to have the momentum.

247
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,520
Plus Chet's on a better team.

248
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,680
Chet has SGA, Josh Giddy, J-Dub, J-Will, Lou Dort.

249
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,440
He has guys, Victor Oladipo I think now.

250
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,160
He has guys that are going to put up their own numbers.

251
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,760
And so it may take away from his offensive counting numbers.

252
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,560
And so Victor is on the team with Jeremy Shone in prayers.

253
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,040
So I think he's going to have the opportunity to put up more counting numbers.

254
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,200
So Victor Winbyama wins Rookie of the Year.

255
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,840
I think that's everything.

256
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,520
MVP, six man Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year.

257
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600
So I'm not going to think of.

258
00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,320
But anyway, so now we're going to transition into the NFL, which will be talk about NFL

259
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:22,000
Week 7.

260
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:35,840
Welcome back into the show.

261
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,080
And I'm going to go into my originally planned A block, which was just talk about NFL Week

262
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,080
7.

263
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,880
I started rolling about the NBA.

264
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,120
I was like, Hey, I want to touch on it.

265
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:47,920
But then it kind of expanded.

266
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,720
So we're going to talk about the NBA.

267
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,720
But now to our regularly scheduled A block again, NFL Week 7.

268
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,880
A lot of interesting games happened last week.

269
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,360
Um, that was some shockers as well.

270
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:04,920
Patriots beat the Bills.

271
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,920
That was shocking.

272
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,880
Oh, as you guys know, I'm a Patriots fan.

273
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,000
I had completely abandoned ship.

274
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:17,760
I even picked Buffalo in my very ill-fated Jax pack.

275
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,000
I picked Buffalo, I said the Patriots are cooked.

276
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,280
And then day of game day.

277
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:32,080
Um, way up to an article, nice article, several reporters, um, that Bill Belichick had indeed

278
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:42,360
signed a contract extension, a lucrative contract extension at that, um, to remain GM and head

279
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,020
coach of the team.

280
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:49,620
So that was interesting because if you guys remember, I kind of been saying that maybe

281
00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:56,760
the Patriots plan is they're doing their reset year that they have their draft picks that

282
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,840
they have after this year, $100 million plus in cap space.

283
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,620
They possess most of their young players.

284
00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:07,840
They have, um, staff stability.

285
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,200
Sorry, my mouth got stuck there.

286
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,160
Yoke is ridiculous.

287
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,880
Um, they have staff stability because Belichick is not going anywhere.

288
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,600
O'Brien's not going anywhere.

289
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,160
Draw Mayo is not going anywhere.

290
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Um, the higher ups in the organization is not going anywhere.

291
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,640
You know, you have staff stability.

292
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:33,800
Reset year, just go 4 and 13, pick a really, really good left tackle, see what you have

293
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,880
in Mack Jones and kind of go from there.

294
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Uh, which side note, right after my, uh, Chris Paul for six man of the year thing, the Warriors

295
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
start him tonight because Draymond Green's out, whatever.

296
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,400
Um, but yeah, it's kind of the things where, you know, you kind of see what you have on

297
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440
the team and you can kind of retool.

298
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,200
This is a draft and an off season that can fix a lot of New England's problems.

299
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,640
T Higgins is going to be available.

300
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,240
The Bengals for some odd reason didn't trade him for a first round pick in the draft.

301
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,840
Um, so T Higgins is going to be available.

302
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,720
I think the Patriots should go and pay him.

303
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,000
I think that the Patriots should make a move on our running back.

304
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,720
Zeke is trying to bounce back.

305
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,080
Ramon J. Stevenson seems to be a shell of himself.

306
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,120
Uh, a couple offense alignment, some speed on the outside, quarterback.

307
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:25,120
Patriots are back in business.

308
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:27,760
Uh, they can do all that one off season, especially with the amount of money they're going to

309
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,600
have available in the salary cap and the draft fix they possess as well.

310
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Um, smart spending and smart drafting the Patriots could be back.

311
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,760
Maybe not to total dominance, but to where kind of what they're used to seeing them

312
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,360
in one off season.

313
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:49,640
Um, and so the thing is though, go to the game with the Bills, I pretty much decided

314
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,640
that Patriots season was over.

315
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Uh, they were going to lose to the good teams, battle the struggling teams, beat the bad

316
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,480
teams and as I said, go to the off season four and 13, five and 12 and then see what

317
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,480
happens.

318
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,720
But they beat the Bills.

319
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,720
They beat the Bills physically.

320
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,320
They beat the Bills schematically.

321
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,040
They got enough of a bad game from Josh Allen and they got enough of a great game from Mack

322
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,000
Jones and they were able to win.

323
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,760
Uh, to get their second win of the season.

324
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,120
The Patriots now have two wins, both are in division.

325
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,680
Uh, they beat the Jets and they beat the Bills.

326
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,080
Now they got the Dolphins.

327
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,040
So maybe they go three for three in the division.

328
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,920
I'm not sure, but we're going to definitely keep our eye on the Patriots game.

329
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,120
Uh, the Bills just didn't look like themselves.

330
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:37,800
Honestly, I'm not sure if it was a great Patriots game, which the Bills been a little off, but

331
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,360
the Bills didn't like themselves and the Bills come right after that game where they had

332
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,840
that really awkward thing with Brian Debel and the Giants, they didn't look good in that

333
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,840
game either.

334
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,880
Um, and so to go into the Patriots game and look as rough as they did, something's going

335
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,880
on in Buffalo.

336
00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:01,240
Uh, it's feeling like we're on the down slope of the, um, Josh Allen roller coaster.

337
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:10,000
The Baltimore Ravens absolutely, and I mean this as kindly as I can, wrecked the Detroit

338
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Lions.

339
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,640
Absolutely disrespected the city of Detroit, um, abused the state of Michigan.

340
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,360
Uh, I believe that I heard the city cry.

341
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,360
It was rough.

342
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,520
I think Motown, the building burned down.

343
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,760
Like it was rough in Detroit.

344
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,200
In Baltimore, I'm glad it wasn't a home game.

345
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,080
I mean Baltimore absolutely went to work.

346
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,400
They put on a show, Lamar Jackson was dancing around the Lions, finding receivers in the

347
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,400
end zone.

348
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,960
Schematically, it like the Lions did not practice all week.

349
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,200
They were not prepared for anything the Ravens were doing.

350
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,040
Um, and it's not high school football, you know, where you get that really good private

351
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,920
school that happens to be in the same district as the all right public school.

352
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,480
And then the private school just runs away from them hides.

353
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,240
This isn't college football with Alabama.

354
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Like yeah, Alabama and South East center both division one for our programs.

355
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:13,880
But if they play Alabama win by, you know, 60, this is two NFL teams.

356
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000
It's two highly paid quarterbacks, two highly paid coaches.

357
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,440
Everybody on the roster is making it's trying to make money to feed their families.

358
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,720
Then the Baltimore Ravens absolutely pick the lions apart.

359
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,960
Like they knew everything that was going to happen.

360
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,800
And they just absolutely destroyed the Detroit Lions.

361
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,880
Absolute great win from the Baltimore Ravens organization.

362
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,960
They are springboarding their way up.

363
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,280
And the scary part about it was the Ravens didn't like they care.

364
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:47,320
You know, like you win a game like that, you're jumping, you're bouncing, you're celebrating,

365
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,880
you're doing this, that and the third.

366
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,680
The Ravens was like, all right, onto the next thing because they have bigger goals and aspirations.

367
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,160
They want the Super Bowl.

368
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,720
And so that's what the Ravens looking for.

369
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:04,440
And that was a determined destruction that they put together after last game.

370
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,840
So absolute big, big kudos to the Baltimore Ravens organization for the way that they

371
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:15,080
played that game.

372
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:22,880
The Eagles defeated the Miami Dolphins in a game again where physicality reigns supreme.

373
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:28,040
The Philadelphia Eagles were able to tush push like five or six times.

374
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720
A brotherly shove, whichever one you prefer.

375
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,200
They were AJ Brown is continuing his high streak.

376
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:40,840
He now has five games over 125 yards receiving continuing his high streak as well.

377
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,040
Jalen Hurts looked somewhat like the Jalen Hurts.

378
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,760
We seen last year, he had his moments there not running nearly as much.

379
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,000
I think that's by design.

380
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,960
The menace and then when you go look more into the game, the Miami Dolphins, Tyree Hill

381
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,840
got off.

382
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:00,840
Not much else did.

383
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,680
The loss of Devon A. Kane or a Shane, a Kane.

384
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,680
I think it's a Kane.

385
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,720
I'm gonna go with the Kane.

386
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:13,440
The loss of him is showing because the one thing that this offense, this version of the

387
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:21,600
Kyle or the Mike Shanahan offense had over the other versions that exist in Arthur Smith

388
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:28,560
runs it in Tennessee, but Kyle Shanahan of course runs it in San Francisco.

389
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,160
Sean McVey runs it in Los Angeles.

390
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:37,160
The difference between their versions and Miami's versions is that Miami's versions

391
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,920
are just so fast.

392
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,000
Tyree Hill, Jalen and Wilder, Devon A. Kane.

393
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,160
I mean they think they're still responsible for the top seven fastest runs with the ball

394
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,160
in the league.

395
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,320
They're just so much faster.

396
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,160
So yes, the scheme is really, really good, but if I get to the really, really good scheme,

397
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,520
really, really fast, it makes it incredibly hard to stop.

398
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,080
And so that was the issue that a lot of people have with them.

399
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,000
It's like we're already out-schemed and we have to almost be early to stuff because of

400
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,880
how much faster they are.

401
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,520
And if we're wrong on what we're early to, you might as well go ahead and put up seven

402
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,520
points.

403
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,120
I mean that's kind of what most people are going through.

404
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:23,600
Well, with our A. Kane out, you can overplay the pass because the speed isn't there at

405
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,120
running back that it was previously.

406
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:27,120
Not that kind of speed.

407
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:28,120
Sure, they're fast.

408
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:31,320
They're gonna have running backs, but they're not elite.

409
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,640
I make fast people look slow, fast.

410
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:44,360
And so now people are kind of overplaying the pass as opposed to being stuck between

411
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,280
the middle.

412
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,520
And so that's affecting Miami's pass game, which in turn affecting their run game because

413
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
now you don't have that elite speed guy to get around the outside.

414
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,680
Even when the play breaks down, he's just going around you.

415
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
And it's limited play action.

416
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,160
People are still reacting to pass first.

417
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,320
And so it's affecting the Miami Dolphins offense.

418
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,720
And you were able to see when Philly brought in some of those exotic pressures, Miami had

419
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,720
trouble kind of picking them up at certain points.

420
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,840
And Tua for the first time all season looked a little frazzled.

421
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,600
Not a lot, not a lot by any means, but it was enough to where it wasn't his usual comfortable.

422
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,080
I'm gonna just pick you apart because I have the fastest team over in the prep for him.

423
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,760
A damn accurate quarterback.

424
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,720
He was forced to, he was forced to pat the ball a couple of times.

425
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,040
The timing was a little off.

426
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:41,080
Again, it wasn't anything super major, but it was enough to affect the Dolphins offense.

427
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,800
And for the first time all season, make it look mundane.

428
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:55,000
And my last point I'm going to talk about before I get into news is Brock, Mr. Irrelevant

429
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,400
Purdy.

430
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,560
I do this because I love this, honestly.

431
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,880
And I do this because I want you guys to have the best information, have the best news as

432
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,120
unbiased as possible.

433
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,560
I tell you my biases before they even start.

434
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:20,600
The Yankees, it's LSU, it's LeBron, and it's the Pelicans.

435
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,880
I tell you this before it starts.

436
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,160
So if you hear bias in one of those topics, you can't say Justin never told you because

437
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,520
I'm telling you right now what my bias is like.

438
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Okay.

439
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,560
Let's just, we got that out of the way?

440
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,560
We got that out of the way.

441
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,720
All right.

442
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:55,440
I told you last week for the first time in his life, he, Brock Purdy specifically, had

443
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:02,760
to discover what it was like to live like the rest of the quarterbacks live.

444
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,680
Nobody else in the league has all pro everythings.

445
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,600
Nobody else in the league has highest paid everythings.

446
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,000
Nobody else in the league has the highest paid left tackle and the highest paid running

447
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,880
bag and the highest paid inside linebacker and not one of the highest paid, it's not

448
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,200
the highest paid DB core and one of the highest paid receivers in the league.

449
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,200
No one else has that.

450
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,760
Mathematically, it doesn't work.

451
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,360
Brock Purdy makes 800 grand against salary cap.

452
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:36,160
So that leaves the entire salary cap to fill in the roster.

453
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:42,000
Last week, he lost some of his all pros and he looked pretty human.

454
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:50,120
He actually lost a start, which at that point was deemed nearly impossible.

455
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,520
And then this week, having all week to practice without those guys, even getting some of them

456
00:29:54,520 --> 00:30:00,560
back, Christian McCaffrey played, Trent Williams, I think, played.

457
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,240
I know he got Debo back.

458
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,200
He looked human again, even throwing two fourth quarter interceptions and ultimately costing

459
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:17,320
him a C in the game and now he's lost two starts in his career.

460
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,320
Brock Purdy is not that good.

461
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,400
Accurate, I give you that.

462
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,360
He threw a couple of beautifully timed passes in the last game.

463
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,120
I give you that.

464
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,560
I give you that entirely.

465
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,480
He threw a couple of beautifully timed passes, especially right across the middle.

466
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,480
I give you that.

467
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,080
Right?

468
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,400
But he's just not that good.

469
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,400
He's just not.

470
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,400
Sorry.

471
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,040
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

472
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,760
I don't want to be this guy.

473
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,280
I'm simply telling you the truth, but don't hit your wagon to Brock Purdy.

474
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,480
This is an opportunity for you to be on the right side of history.

475
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Do you want to be on the side of the people that make sense or Brock Purdy?

476
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:12,040
You want to be on the side of the people who worked in scouting and he was the dead last

477
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,400
pick in the NFL draft and the only team to come out and the only report that has come

478
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,200
out and said that they wanted him to be their quarterback even on the practice squad or

479
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,880
for agent signing is Minnesota Vikings.

480
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Do you want to be right?

481
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Or do you want to be on the side of Brock Purdy?

482
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Do you want to be the hot taking machine who can 20 years from now say, man, I've seen

483
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,440
that seventh round pick coming?

484
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,880
Or do you want to be right?

485
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:45,400
See, this is not a situation where it's a negotiable moment.

486
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,600
It's a non-negotiable.

487
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,040
What's going to happen is Brock Purdy is going to turn back to the pumpkin that he is.

488
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,800
It is not an offensive Brock Purdy.

489
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,680
I promise it's not personal.

490
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,960
He's just going to return back into the pumpkin instead of Cinderella's horse John carriage

491
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,160
with the beautiful horses and the glass slipper and all that stuff.

492
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:10,920
He's going to lose all of that and then turn back into the pumpkin that we know and did

493
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,680
not love him as an Iowa state.

494
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:19,240
I promise it's going to happen as the day is long as the sun raises in the sky.

495
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,320
Rock Purdy will turn back into well, Brock Purdy.

496
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:30,600
Um, can I say that a lot of last year, eventually he has to return back to my friend eventually

497
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,020
and they stayed it off.

498
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:35,440
I think Philly might have did it to him in the playoffs last year, but they stayed it

499
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,440
off.

500
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,440
He was injured.

501
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,000
The excuse city, um, injuries legitimate though.

502
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,440
And then I, and then he came out this year, still winning games.

503
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:52,080
I said, you know, he, maybe, maybe I, I almost chugged some of the Kool-Aid.

504
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,780
Maybe he's just that real.

505
00:32:56,780 --> 00:33:03,680
And then I started seeing signs of he's not, he's just Brock Purdy.

506
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:13,160
He is we thought he was, he is exactly what you thought he was.

507
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:20,480
Pretty okay quarterback starter, low end, but starter, nothing you shine your organization's

508
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,480
futures on.

509
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,480
It's okay.

510
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,480
It's one of those moments you get the opportunity to be right.

511
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:33,280
So if I'm the, if I'm on the right side of history, if I'm being smart, I, I choose the

512
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,200
side of rock party is going to turn back into Brock Purdy.

513
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,720
That's just me.

514
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,640
But anyway, let's go into news.

515
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,640
Quick hitters.

516
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,040
The New England Patriots have waived Malik Willis, Malik Cunningham.

517
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,040
My apologies.

518
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,880
Uh, they just signed into an extension about 10 days ago.

519
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,480
One of those weird language based extensions, but he, uh, he was waived by the New England

520
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,480
Patriots.

521
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,200
Um, today, um, the Tennessee Titans are expected to.

522
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:09,360
Potentially play Malik Willis, which is why I think I'm Malik Willis and, uh, Will Levis

523
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,400
as Ryan Tannehill is out.

524
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,560
So they have two young quarterbacks, both picked them back to back drafts.

525
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,740
Uh, neither one first on traffic.

526
00:34:16,740 --> 00:34:20,960
So now they have the opportunity to see both of them play and appear like they're going

527
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,320
to take it.

528
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:29,440
Uh, Zach Ertz and Isaiah Nguyen, uh, the, uh, the chief Cardinals and Dolphins respectively

529
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,720
have both been placed on IR for a, uh, duality of elements.

530
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:41,160
Uh, Marvin Jones Jr. decided to leave football, um, the Detroit Lions do the personal family

531
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,160
matters.

532
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,880
The Lions has since waived him as a result.

533
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,240
The Rams have released Brett Maher as a result of missed kicks.

534
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:54,920
Oh, and lastly, unfortunately, Kansas City Chiefs, where I received with Justin Ross,

535
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,600
who just seemed to be turning a corner in his career.

536
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:04,720
Uh, it's been charged with multiple, uh, counts, including battery.

537
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:20,240
But up next, we're going to shift into NFL week eight.

538
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:45,000
Welcome into the show.

539
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:52,400
And now we're going to talk about NFL week eight and what's happening this current week.

540
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,720
Starting off with Thursday night football, the Bucks and the Bills.

541
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:58,240
Now we spoke about the Bucks and the Bills earlier.

542
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,240
We won't pick this game.

543
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:00,240
It is in our NFL.

544
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:01,240
No, it's actually okay.

545
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:02,240
We can pick this game right now.

546
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,880
Uh, producer just told me, uh, we can pick this game right now.

547
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,440
It is in, uh, not in our Jax pack.

548
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,820
So therefore we can pick it disgusting and full.

549
00:36:11,820 --> 00:36:16,880
So we talked about in the second segment, how Josh Allen's in that streak.

550
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:24,120
He's in that odd space where he'll have two, three to four games where it's just like,

551
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,360
Josh, what are you doing?

552
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,000
You know, and it's just, it's just Josh, what Josh, what are you doing?

553
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,520
Um, and then the offense looks just shoveled and you guys weird Stefan digs that ain't

554
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:43,240
going on and they've been playing off the past couple of weeks and playing off offensively

555
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:45,600
with going against Bill Belichick is one thing.

556
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:46,600
It's totally understandable.

557
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,440
Bill Belichick is the best defensive mind ever.

558
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,440
It's totally understandable.

559
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,600
They look off against giants and against the giants team.

560
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,640
When the bill, when the bills were at home, that everyone knew the designs were trying

561
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:05,080
to make the game short and not necessarily get into any kind of real battle, um, especially

562
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:13,840
offensively and they were, man, not long at all away and they're potentially Tyra Taylor

563
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:21,080
checking out, um, of the play on the goal line in the first half from the giants winning

564
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,080
that game.

565
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,520
Um, so that's, I mean, that's the situation.

566
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,880
That's the, um, that's the situation going on in Buffalo right now.

567
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,560
Um, and Tampa Bay is playing with a lot of confidence.

568
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,280
He and his plan better than anybody thought they would play.

569
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,160
Um, myself included a Baker Mayfield hasn't tanked yet.

570
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,720
I think it's going to happen, of course, but he hasn't quite taint yet.

571
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,880
Um, Mike Evans is still producing at a high level.

572
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,880
That defense is rolling.

573
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,400
I'm going to actually go with Tampa and the upset here on Thursday night, uh, in Buffalo.

574
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,640
I think Tampa gets it done.

575
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Uh, and I think Tampa gets it done close 20, uh, four to 20.

576
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,400
I think that Buffalo comes up in the red zone small at times, smaller than they should be

577
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,080
given the talent that they have.

578
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,640
Uh, I think Tampa squeaks out.

579
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,000
Mike Evans gets a long one.

580
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Uh, they may pop one in the running game, big return sets up a short field for Baker,

581
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,760
knock in some field goals and you win the game 24 to 20.

582
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,440
Um, so that is how I think bucks and bills are going to go.

583
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:31,120
Uh, sticking in the ASE East, but traveling South way South, uh, the New England Patriots

584
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,960
take their annual trip to the Miami dolphins.

585
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,480
Now usually this game is in, I call it weather crisis spot.

586
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:45,040
It's either really early where Miami's 95 degrees fill or it's really late where Miami

587
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,040
was 85 degrees.

588
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,440
They're 80 degrees, but New England's 20, you know, so you're flying in, you're shivering,

589
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:55,120
you're shivering all week and then you fly off Friday and land in this beautiful, warm,

590
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,360
thick, humid air and it's cramped city.

591
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:03,080
Are you moving slow as it or goes the other way where it's pretty decently warm in New

592
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,520
England, it's 80, 85 every day.

593
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,720
Miami is 95, 100 again, humid area, it's cramped city.

594
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:15,640
Being that it's this time of year, late October, the temperatures are in the same area and

595
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,980
it's not nearly as humid as it would be known in Miami.

596
00:39:19,980 --> 00:39:26,040
So the weather advantage Miami would normally carry in this game is not nearly as impactful

597
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,520
as it normally is.

598
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:34,140
Now good teams get embarrassed, usually play really, really well the next week.

599
00:39:34,140 --> 00:39:37,280
Do I think that the dolphins will win the game?

600
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,280
I do.

601
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,280
I think they'll win the points spread.

602
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,840
I believe it was eight and a half, nine most plays.

603
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:42,840
I think it'll be close on the points spread.

604
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,600
I say I think it'll be a six point game.

605
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:50,320
Things going on with Miami organizationally that people are kind of cracking the code

606
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,320
a little bit.

607
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,840
Um, just a little bit.

608
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,120
I'm not saying they're solved by any means, but people are starting to slow them down

609
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,120
week by week.

610
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,880
They're getting a little bit slower and a little bit slower and a little bit slower.

611
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,000
I think this game is decently low scoring.

612
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,600
I got 23 17 of dolphins.

613
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:13,600
I think they get in the end zone, you know, two, three times and you know, whatever 24

614
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,080
17 somewhere in there.

615
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,960
Uh, dolphins, I think they win the game, but it's a game where, you know, pages had a

616
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:27,120
ball late, you know, down seven down six, three, four minutes left for timeout or dolphins

617
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,520
have it up six, four minutes left.

618
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:35,280
Pat said, you know, it'll be somewhere where the last couple of minutes of the game matters.

619
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,040
I think it'll be a really close football game.

620
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,840
I think the dolphin dolphins ultimately squeak it out.

621
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:48,360
Uh, we're going to skip over the battle for New York because that is in my Jack's pack

622
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,400
and we're going to go over the battle of the top picks as well.

623
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,680
Also in my Jack's pack, but we are going to go into the Browns at the Seahawks.

624
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,720
I guess it's an interesting game.

625
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:04,120
It's a cross country travel game as pretty much all of Seattle games are except for us

626
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,120
in the division.

627
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,320
Um, but Cleveland goes across the country to play Seattle.

628
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,680
Cleveland is bringing in one of the angriest defenses and one of the meanest defense I've

629
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,680
seen in a while.

630
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,200
Uh, they gave up a lot of points with the Colts, but a lot of it was flukey plays.

631
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,840
Um, and so I think that the Browns are going to go in there against Seattle, a team that's

632
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,720
a little less pop happy than the Colts.

633
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,480
The Colts are kind of playing with house money.

634
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,640
And so they're going forward.

635
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,520
I think Seattle is going to play a little more of a stage of the game, which allows

636
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,360
Myles Garrett to go off a little bit more.

637
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,080
That Browns defense is hungry.

638
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,080
It's active.

639
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,440
They will turn you over and they will try to score off state turnovers.

640
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,840
We've seen multiple big turnovers, back including TJ White.

641
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,000
But what Myles Garrett did in the last game, man, jumped over the line, blocked the field

642
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
goal.

643
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,000
He got our safety.

644
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,600
Um, he had multiple, two or three sacks.

645
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,000
Um, he was absolutely all over the place.

646
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,440
Undoubtedly the best player on both teams.

647
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,720
The most dominant player on defense last week by far.

648
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:11,000
Um, he played absolutely hell of a game.

649
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:17,200
And so I think he brings that momentum into, um, Seattle.

650
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,480
And the Browns get a victory, uh, with PJ Walker in the center, 24-20.

651
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,920
I mean, the Browns get a victory there.

652
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,400
A big defensive plays insider.

653
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,880
You know, it's a second and 12 and then becomes third and 19 because of Myles Garrett's sack

654
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,640
or a strip fumble or, you know, I think the defense makes a play for Cleveland when they

655
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:40,120
need it and they squeak out a four point victory, 24-20.

656
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:45,360
And then the last game I want to take a gander at is a Cincinnati Bengals at the San Francisco

657
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:46,360
49ers.

658
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,520
A game that has a lot of potential.

659
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:56,520
The 49ers to me are one game away from panicking because up until a couple weeks ago, Brad

660
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,520
Perry never lost.

661
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,000
Now, obviously he was going to lose eventually, but he had never lost.

662
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,920
He definitely had not lost two in a row with the second one totally being his fault.

663
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,920
That had not happened.

664
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:13,560
Uh, Christian McCaffrey has entered for a record of 16 consecutive games with a touchdown

665
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,560
from scrimmage.

666
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:22,760
Um, you know, he's, he's getting help from his all pros and yet he threw the game away.

667
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,800
Like I said, two in the seven in the fourth quarter is unacceptable.

668
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,200
You're not going to win a football game like that.

669
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:34,000
And so the 49ers are the first time could potentially looking at Perry down the hallway

670
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,360
going he may not be perfect.

671
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:41,600
Um, and then the Bengals, man, huge opportunity for the Bengals here to go into San Francisco

672
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,000
and have all the confidence in the world because not many people go into San Francisco.

673
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,520
I don't even think the San Francisco 49ers to begin with, but definitely not a lot of

674
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:55,320
people go into San Francisco, into Levi's Stadium, um, and defeat the 49ers.

675
00:43:55,320 --> 00:44:00,520
That usually doesn't happen, but with Brock Purdy has a struggle in the past couple of

676
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,120
weeks, especially in the last week's fourth quarter, this is an opportunity for the Bengals

677
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,520
to get a huge win that they normally would not be able to get.

678
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,240
And I'm going to pick them to get it.

679
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:14,320
Uh, I think they, uh, now they're going to have a block Nick Bosa and that pass rush

680
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,320
the 49ers.

681
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,640
But I think that Brock Purdy is going to be so not viable on the other end that they're

682
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:26,920
able to, um, get a victory for the Bengals 27 to 24.

683
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:33,000
It'll be closer to come down to even McPherson or Moody knocking in the kick is how the game's

684
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,000
going to go.

685
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,760
But 27, 24 Cincinnati Bengals.

686
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:57,760
But up next, we are going to shift to our NFL betting segment.

687
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:17,760
Welcome into the show.

688
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,360
And now we're on to our NFL betting segment.

689
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:22,360
Jack's pack.

690
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:29,320
It was a rough week for the first time since I've been doing this.

691
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,120
I went oh, and five.

692
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,120
Oh, that's interesting.

693
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,120
Nerd kids, K.O.

694
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,120
Cause okay, nevermind.

695
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:39,840
So Cody's going to be the fifth starter in the event Bradley bills healthy cause Alan

696
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:40,840
Grayson, Alan's sorry.

697
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,840
Okay.

698
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,840
Okay.

699
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:52,280
Um, but, um, for the first time since doing this, when oh, and five, when oh, and five,

700
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,120
first time doing this, that was rough.

701
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,560
And we had a couple of games that were right on the edge, like a Cleveland minus two.

702
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,360
And then when my one, uh, we had a couple of, I had another one that was really right

703
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,880
on the edge that we ultimately just didn't get, unfortunately.

704
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,280
Um, but we're going to bounce back this week.

705
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,480
We are 14 and 19 on the season.

706
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,480
Not great.

707
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:22,180
Um, so to give you a percentage on that, we are as at 14 of 19 on the season.

708
00:46:22,180 --> 00:46:26,440
Uh, which comes out to 40%.

709
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:34,000
So we are about 16, 17% under what we want to be, which again is a professional gambler

710
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,080
rank of, um, 55 to 56%.

711
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,080
We are at 40%.

712
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,080
So we're going to bounce back.

713
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,920
Our locks are hitting at about 57%.

714
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,840
So our last is professional gambler, four, four and three in our locks.

715
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,520
Uh, then we went oh, and five last week.

716
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:55,840
So that was not great, but like I said, we are going to bounce back this week.

717
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,080
I can assure you of that.

718
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,160
We're going to come back with a vengeance this week.

719
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,240
We're going to start off with the battle of New York.

720
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:11,360
Um, I, uh, jets minus three at the Giants take the jets.

721
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:17,120
I just think defensively the Jessica dominant this game.

722
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,760
The Giants are going to struggle to score the basketball period.

723
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:21,760
Not the basketball.

724
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:22,760
So I'm watching basketball.

725
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,320
The Giants are going to struggle to score the football plain and simple.

726
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:32,240
Um, and I think Zach Wilson can eke out 17 points.

727
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:38,680
I don't think the Giants are getting 10 as great as, you know, Brian David is his job

728
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,240
as solid as Tyra Taylor has looked.

729
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:43,920
The jets are going to torture the Giants offense.

730
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:49,280
I think it's going to be an ugly low scoring like 17 to 10 kind of game.

731
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,280
That's all I need to cover.

732
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,880
Uh, so man, hell, it might be 17 to 12.

733
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,040
That's all I need to cover.

734
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:01,760
Uh, so the jets minus three at the Giants take the jets.

735
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,480
Vikings and they pick them at the Packers take the Vikings.

736
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,640
Uh, something's going on with the Packers.

737
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,240
They're running out of love for Jordan.

738
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,920
Uh, he's struggling now.

739
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,280
He can't, he's not even turning it on in the fourth quarter.

740
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,720
It's just not coming on.

741
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:22,920
Uh, I don't know what's going on exactly with, um, the Greenway of Packers offense.

742
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,800
I don't think they're developing, uh, Jordan love.

743
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,200
Well, I think the lead's catching on to what they want to do with him and he's not adjusting

744
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,200
well.

745
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:37,640
Um, so something going on with that, uh, organization offensively and the frustration are beginning

746
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,040
to leak out.

747
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,840
Minnesota is playing with house money.

748
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:46,400
They have found how to get Jordan Addison loose.

749
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:51,280
Um, they do really, really well with the tight end position with TG Hawkinson.

750
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,400
He's starting to get his catches and targets as well.

751
00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:00,000
Um, and so there's just a lot of positive happening with Minnesota defensively.

752
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,000
They look really, really good.

753
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:07,460
Um, and so I just think that, uh, Minnesota is going to win, uh, the game, which of course

754
00:49:07,460 --> 00:49:09,040
covers the Pickle.

755
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:16,600
And the battle of the top two picks in the draft, um, CJ Stroud needs some Texans with

756
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,680
a three, a three point favorite over the Carolina Panthers.

757
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,880
Um, my lock of the week, take the Texans.

758
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:23,880
They're just a better team.

759
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,880
She has a better quarterback.

760
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,640
The Panthers are still not one of a game in CJ's, in Bryce Young's career.

761
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,680
She has a better quarterback.

762
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,200
Um, the Texans are the better team.

763
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,760
The Texans are actually, you know, playing to win games.

764
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,600
The Panthers are playing because they can't practice all week.

765
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,640
Um, and still click the paychecks.

766
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,600
Then the Texans are going to run away and hide with this game.

767
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,920
This is maybe a double, maybe a 14, 17 point kind of game.

768
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:57,320
Uh, the Texans are going to destroy the Panthers and of course cover the three points.

769
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:02,480
The Las Vegas Raiders at the Lions, Lions minus eight.

770
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,600
Uh, take the Lions here.

771
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,880
The teams get, they get beat, they get embarrassed.

772
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,440
Especially the way the Lions got embarrassed.

773
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,080
Especially how they come home.

774
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,080
They're going to want to defend themselves.

775
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,080
They're going to want to bowl up.

776
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,080
They're going to want to come back.

777
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,080
That was the worst game in the Dan Campbell era.

778
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,120
Um, and so they were absolutely pummeled and embarrassed.

779
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,040
I think they're going to bounce back and show that they have some kind of grit in there.

780
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,200
Uh, you know, get up and bite off a kneecap on the way up in the words of Dan Campbell.

781
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:38,160
And so I think they run away and hide from the Raiders and they cover the eight points.

782
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,040
And then lastly, but certainly not least, Bears at Chargers, Chargers minus eight and

783
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:43,040
a half.

784
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,040
Take the Chargers.

785
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,880
Same, same concept.

786
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,560
The Chargers were handled, uh, by the Kansas City Chiefs.

787
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,760
They struggle, uh, they struggled offensively the past couple of weeks.

788
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,880
They've already had defensive struggles.

789
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,900
As you guys know, they are the worst total defense, uh, in the NFL since Justin Herbert's

790
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:04,600
first game was started when he started unexpectedly because the doctor tried to puncture, had

791
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,560
to kill Tyra Taylor and punctured his lung.

792
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:07,560
Uh, okay.

793
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,480
He didn't literally try to kill Tyra Taylor, but he stabbed Tyra Taylor and punctured his

794
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:12,480
lung.

795
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:17,520
And so ever since that game, the Chargers have had the worst defense in the NFL in history,

796
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,840
um, in that time span to start a quarterback's career.

797
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,760
And so I think this is a get right game for the Chargers.

798
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,800
Now they have a week of tape on that Bears quarterback as Justin Fields remains out due

799
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,640
to his thumb grip, or he's dislocated thumb.

800
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,200
Uh, and so they get a week of tape on him and I think the Chargers run away and hide

801
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,320
from the Bears pretty early.

802
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,400
Or they get way out in front early.

803
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:48,200
Uh, Herbert puts on a masterclass and the Chargers win covering the eight and a half.

804
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,560
So again, I have Jets minus three over the Giants, the Vikings, and you pick them over

805
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:53,560
the Packers.

806
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,120
Texans minus three over the Panthers, which is my lock of the week.

807
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:03,360
Our two unit bet, Raiders, uh, Lions over the Raiders minus eight, uh, for the Lions

808
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,160
and then Chargers minus eight and a half over the Bears.

809
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,520
Now up next, we're going to shift into our Jax hot tape, which we're going to talk about

810
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:36,720
at the University of Michigan, Scandal.

811
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:51,640
Welcome back into the show and into Jax hot take, which is going to be a discussion or

812
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:56,600
a take on the University of Michigan football, um, sign stealing scandal.

813
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:03,000
So it came out a few days ago that Michigan was on the investigation again under Jim Harbaugh

814
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
again.

815
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,800
This time was interesting.

816
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,160
Um, so reportedly they were stealing signs.

817
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:14,760
They were having someone, which again, everyone still signs for lack of a word, just to be

818
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:21,160
clear, but they were having someone, uh, travel to different games with their opponents and

819
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:26,440
to record or write down or whatever the signs of the opposing team.

820
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,280
So what's the sign go to?

821
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:29,280
What is the play?

822
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:30,660
What does the sign go to?

823
00:53:30,660 --> 00:53:31,660
What is the play?

824
00:53:31,660 --> 00:53:35,840
Uh, even if there's no more than run pass and kind of, you know, it greatly helps you

825
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:41,280
out if you know, it's a run arts pass more than just tendencies.

826
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,280
What's the sign?

827
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:43,280
What's the play?

828
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,280
What's the sign?

829
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,280
What's the play?

830
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:54,120
Um, and so, um, when it came out, cruelly, or not cruelly is a bad word.

831
00:53:54,120 --> 00:54:03,320
When it came out shadily, my brain went, or I thought, Hey, this will be really easy to

832
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,680
get out of.

833
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:10,200
Take some GA or somebody that not necessarily you don't like, but you know, don't have a

834
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,520
big future in this business.

835
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:20,080
Take some low level assistant, get them to sign the NDA, say he did it, give them $150,000

836
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:25,520
a package, $200,000 a package and end of story.

837
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:33,440
You know, you, you, you, you take a, a small reduction in something, pay a big fine, give

838
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,880
him money on the side, end of story.

839
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,440
Right.

840
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:44,560
And that's basically exactly what the University of Michigan has done.

841
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:50,720
Um, so the person they've done it to is Connor Stallions has become an escape go from Michigan.

842
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:55,840
They have paper trails of him paying for tickets to games, different opponents.

843
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:03,800
They have him, um, on video now where, and they did the paper trail is a paper trail

844
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:10,120
where, oh, he bought tickets and then he transferred them to this account or he bought tickets

845
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,120
for this game.

846
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:16,160
So for that game and how is this person who's making, you know, a 65 grand a year buying

847
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,240
all these premium seats, all these big games.

848
00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:20,240
We'll do, we'll do.

849
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:21,240
Right.

850
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:24,280
That's, that could be easily explained away.

851
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:30,160
Maybe they used to, I don't know, but you can somewhat, I'm sure smart people somewhere

852
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,600
with given time and resources can explain that away.

853
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:43,720
It's can't explain away is the video that came out and it was a video of Stallions gaze

854
00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:47,160
with GA standing right next to the defensive coordinator.

855
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,240
When they're playing Ohio state's first drive of the game, very first out again, there's

856
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:53,360
no tendencies in this game.

857
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,360
Nothing.

858
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:59,720
Ohio state comes to the line and does their famous check with me where everybody stands

859
00:55:59,720 --> 00:56:04,520
up and they, and they get to play, you know, it's just called check with me.

860
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:05,520
Right.

861
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,640
So show the formation, you're hiking, see if you're running moves and you check up

862
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,280
the sideline.

863
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:16,640
When they did the check with me, you can see in the video Stallions and the defensive coordinator

864
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:22,200
look to the sideline, not just like look to their own team to try and get, not look to

865
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,280
their team on the field to try and get them lined up position or whatever.

866
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,360
They look straight at the Ohio state sideline.

867
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:35,600
Once the signal comes in as Ohio state is turning back to the line of scrimmage, the

868
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:42,880
entire area of Michigan's players and staff are pointing to the sky signaling pass.

869
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,800
There is Stallions running right in the ear of the defensive coordinator.

870
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:56,560
The entire secondary is signal, the entire, not secondary sideline is signaling pass.

871
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:02,760
The GA, the defensive coordinator, players, they're all jumping and pointing to the sky

872
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:03,880
signal to pass.

873
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,520
It's the very first series of the game and you, it's hard to get Tennessee that strong

874
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,600
from an A-Rate team that they're going to pass and you got it from Ohio state pretty,

875
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,480
I mean, so by the angle, it's not like Ohio state's in the middle of the field.

876
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:17,480
It's third and 17.

877
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:22,060
I mean, it's probably, you know, it's inside the 30.

878
00:57:22,060 --> 00:57:28,840
It's where it run passes either one and they're all jumping signaling pass after seeing the

879
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,000
signal from the Ohio state sideline.

880
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,840
And so it looks like they're going to scapegoat kind of Stallions in this.

881
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,120
Ironically, I believe he follows Justin Thomas' voice.

882
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,320
He's interacted with the Pays a couple of times.

883
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,360
And so it was kind of weird seeing the name like that name looks familiar.

884
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,320
I think it's him.

885
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,760
So I hope it's one of the ways to it's bad, but he's going to get fired.

886
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,080
Ultimately, he might get scapegoated from the business.

887
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,520
But it, it seems like they're trying to do underhanded tactics.

888
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,600
I thought nobody would notice somebody put the PIP trail together.

889
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,680
He gets blamed for it, you know, end of discussion kind of thing.

890
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,000
But I think that he's the scapegoat.

891
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,960
I don't know if he actually was sent to do it.

892
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:19,440
I don't know how he's a scapegoat, but I think he's the either the unwilling or the willing

893
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:27,920
scapegoat to this plan by the University of Michigan football program to steal signs.

894
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,720
But that is all I have for you guys today.

895
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,800
I thank you guys for powering through my voice.

896
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,800
For those of you who are concerned how I feel, I feel fine.

897
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,120
No congestion, no headache, you know, anything like that.

898
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,440
My voice sounds absolutely awful.

899
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,160
But that is all I have for you guys today.

900
00:58:47,160 --> 00:59:16,280
This is your host, Justin Jackson signing out.

901
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:29,560
Thank you.
