1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Nice college slate tomorrow, good stuff on Sunday. We'll hit

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:11,240
all that with our executive here. Just We talked about

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,599
food early in that first segment, but this man knows

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:15,359
a thing or two I guess about fine dining too,

5
00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:18,760
Especially it's Allegiant Stadium. The one only John Murray joins

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,079
us now, the VP here at the super book as

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,239
we go behind the counter with him, or should I

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,079
say we go behind the table with John Murray? How

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,120
was your Monday night, buddy?

10
00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: Not much of a game? Yeah, I mean, what did

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:31,679
you guys think of that game?

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,719
Speaker 3: The Raiders looked like high schoolers trying to tackle George Pickens,

13
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:38,640
but we were luckily enough. I got invited in the Westgate

14
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:42,439
suite and we had some of our VIP players out there.

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,039
Speaker 2: The food and drink made up for the game I

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,560
was working. I had a beer, some of our guests

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,759
set a few more than a beer, and the food

18
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:54,320
was amazing.

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,399
Speaker 3: The food spread at Allegiant Stadium was just off the charts,

20
00:00:57,799 --> 00:00:58,439
off the charts.

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,039
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen the King Crab concession stand? I've

22
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:04,760
missed it. I've been to Legion for several events, but

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,760
I have yet to see the because.

24
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,439
Speaker 1: Because when he was eating didn't come from the concourse

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:10,959
stamp that.

26
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:13,799
Speaker 2: You get up.

27
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: But when you get up on that level, what you

28
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,400
get is it's it's cool. Because you've got different restaurants

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,879
from around the valley. They they showcase their food and

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,200
in a lot of cases, the chef himself or herself

31
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,239
will be there standing right there telling you what it is.

32
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: The only, uh, the only.

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: Downside of the game, other than the game being awful,

34
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:38,200
the other downside of the game was I was in

35
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,560
our box and the box to my left, I saw

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,480
a couple of Raider greats.

37
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: Go in there. Jay Schrader was.

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: In the box to my left, and I was I

39
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:52,280
was sitting next to our general manager, Cammy Christensen, and I.

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: Go, that's Jay Schrader. I know, Jay, that'd be great.

41
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,599
I'll introduce you. And then he skipped over our box.

42
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,319
Your greats didn't come into the Westgate box. Well what

43
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:03,000
happened there?

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: You gotta notified me, buddy. Yeah. I would have lined

45
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:07,079
it up for it.

46
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:08,039
Speaker 2: I would have looked cool.

47
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would NFL quarterble. I hope, I

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,000
hope you told Cammy that's you know. Courtesy of the

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,120
TC Martin is a good point.

50
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: So I said that we that you know, Jays is

51
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,840
a regular guest on TC Martin, So am I here?

52
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,319
You know I actually did say that, and Marco D'Angelo

53
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:29,680
and Marco D'Angel, you know, Allegiance Stadium is I will

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,879
say this. I grew up going to Redskins games as

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,400
a very young kid at RFK Stadium and then of

56
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,960
course at what was then called FedEx Field they called some.

57
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:43,599
Speaker 2: Other stupid name. Now, going to a game in an

58
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:45,919
Allegiance Stadium in the suite is not like that. It's

59
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,479
a very different.

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,199
Speaker 1: Food is totally different than it's also freezing cold.

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bathrooms are filthy.

62
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: Uh. Going at Allegiance Stadium is a very different experience.

63
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: So you talk about the food there, and if you

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,039
ever go down to the field level where for the

65
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,599
season ticket holders the vip R, that food is very

66
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,800
good too. I can't didn't we go in there? When

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,960
didn't I take you in there? When you went for

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,280
the food is it's identical. It's identical. And they'll put

69
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:19,240
out the spread. I mean you're talking. You know, you're

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,400
getting the steaks, you're getting the prime rib. They even

71
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,919
had wag the last time I was down there. So

72
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:29,400
they they do it well, and so where John was sitting.

73
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,319
Now here's a funny story. So we go up to

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,240
the media, right and you know in the media has

75
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,120
their food and don't get me wrong, it's it's okay,

76
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,439
it's not what what that VIP area is or what

77
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,080
John was having. Right. So guy gets in and he's

78
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,520
got this two like here's one or two pizzas from

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,960
Pizza Rock, all right, and we had to stop there

80
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,960
on the one fifty level whatever said, and the guy

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,800
says uh, And everybody's going, oh boy, that's pretty good.

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,879
Smells pretty good. They go, yeah, taking this to Mark

83
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,759
Davis's sweet really, So Mark is bypassing wow, yeah, and

84
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:03,879
he's living on the pizza.

85
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: He wants to go to Pizza Up is pretty good.

86
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have that's a pretty simple guy though. He

87
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,879
likes the steaks and stuff. But you know, it's like

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,479
they give you that pizza different.

89
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: The game, Well, what do you you know?

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: What do you what do you think exactly about the

91
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:22,240
Raiders current plan? Because I'm watching the game and I

92
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,079
know Gent he's a good player and Bowers is a

93
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:25,800
really good player.

94
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: But if you're the Raiders and you've got that roster.

95
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: You can't be using a top ten draft pick on

96
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:35,079
a tight end and another top ten draft pick.

97
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:37,759
Speaker 2: On a running back. They've got bigger holes to fill.

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: Correct.

99
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,199
Speaker 2: I said this.

100
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: I did a show yesterday with Marco's friend Kelly in Vegas,

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,079
and Marco and her are very close, and I just said,

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,720
this team needs to get serious, man. They need to

103
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:54,560
get serious about building a roster the correct way. And

104
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,800
when you have holes all over the field, you don't

105
00:04:57,879 --> 00:04:59,720
use a top ten pick on a running back.

106
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: Hey, we said this over and over that you don't

107
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:10,680
pick that running back. Especially I agree, coming from Boise State,

108
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:12,639
come from the mount West. You can't name me the

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,360
last high profile you know, Bell cow Near Hall of

110
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,959
Fame running back that came out of the Mountain West.

111
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,199
But at number six, you can't do it when you

112
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,920
need help on the offensive line. Now, the reason why

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,839
they probably didn't go to the offensive line because the

114
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:29,240
top tackle or two was not there. You don't want

115
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,279
to waste it on a center or guard. I get that,

116
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,600
but there are so many things we had talked about

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560
that after the draft, and we're talking about now and

118
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,879
then now you're looking at the pass run ratio of

119
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,240
forty two passes last week to eight. Okay, so that's

120
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,160
an issue. So my opinion of this and is that

121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,399
you've got so much turnal turnover in this front office

122
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,319
and the coaching staff. Think about it, John five coaches

123
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,079
since they relocated here since twenty twenty three general managers

124
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:03,160
and two presidents. Not even the Carolina Panthers can match that, okay, nobody.

125
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:08,079
And Steve Burline was with him because he was broadcasting

126
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,759
the Cowboys game and we were sitting there talking with

127
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,480
some of the Cowboys people and they're trying to say, Okay,

128
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,399
what are we gonna get tonight. They talk to him

129
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:16,000
after the game and this and that, and they go, hey,

130
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,120
we're all high again. And Berlin goes, consider the source, though,

131
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,720
who you beat tonight before you start getting excited, Because

132
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:24,680
the Cowboys got the Eagles and the Chiefs on Thanksgiving

133
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,240
and then the Lions and this and that, And I said,

134
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,399
you know, guys, this could be, in my opinion, the

135
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:33,879
worst roster in all the NFL. I mean, yes, Tennessee's

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,040
bad Carolina to a certain degree. I'll take Carolina's quarterback

137
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,920
over the Raiders right now. But I think that there's

138
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,240
such a problem here with the hierarchy. Why you're having

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,800
these issues because you have so many gms this and

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,519
now you bring in a guy like Pete Carroll and

141
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,399
he clearly deferred last week to Chip Kelly because in

142
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,199
the postgame press conference, Pete Carroll says, I understand the

143
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240
run pass ratio, and he goes, I was influenced, you know,

144
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,199
you know by what was happening. Wait, wait, he's influenced.

145
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,600
What does that tell you? That's all Chip Kelly, of course, right.

146
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,680
And then now spy techs here. So you got a

147
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,680
spy Tech vision, you got a Peak vision, and you

148
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,439
got a chip vision here. This is the This is

149
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:18,040
my opinion, what the problem is.

150
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: You got to get everybody on the same page. You

151
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:20,040
got it.

152
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,759
Speaker 3: And I say this because it was astonishing to see

153
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:28,040
that crowd and Marco is telling me that the cheapest

154
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:30,240
price to get in was eleven hundred bucks set upstairs.

155
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:32,160
And I know it's because of the Cowboys. I get that,

156
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,680
But imagine if the Raiders were good. Imagine if the

157
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,879
Raiders were doing what New England is doing this season,

158
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040
or what Denver is doing this season. Fill in any

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,439
team you want think about how big that would be

160
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,480
for this city, this town. They I really would like

161
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,319
to see the Raiders get serious. And they are an

162
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:51,879
unseerious organization.

163
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,079
Speaker 4: There's no direction, There's no question about that. And you

164
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,000
compared him to being the worst roster and you said

165
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,959
even worse than Tennessee. Least Tennessee went out and drafted

166
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
a quarterback. Yeah, we don't know if it's gonna be

167
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,519
a good draft choice or not, but you least have

168
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:10,040
some kind of hope for the future. You came in

169
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:13,519
with the Yeah, you came in with a retread. What

170
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,759
what is your end game? How far did you think

171
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:18,279
you were gonna go with Geno Smith?

172
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,079
Speaker 2: It just two more years of Geno Smith? Markle Well,

173
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:22,920
they gave a three year deal.

174
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,199
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they can get out of the deals,

175
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,639
but there's no there's no direction there. Like he said,

176
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,519
they don't know what they're doing. And I just I

177
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,320
consider them a very unseerious organization right now. And I

178
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,919
think it's it's a bummer for the city.

179
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: It's now that they're un serious. They believe that they're

180
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:40,200
making the right music. I mean, you get a guy

181
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,320
like Pete Carroll and most most teams would killed to

182
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,159
have a Pete Carroll. But again, what's the existing roster

183
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:50,720
he's taking over? Just terrible. I mean, you just you

184
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:53,000
said one of the guys, all right. They have two

185
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,519
above average players, Max Crosby on the defensive side of

186
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,039
the ball and Brought Bowers, and that's it. There's no

187
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,000
one else that is even above average, right, I mean

188
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,080
not that I know. That is hence why I say

189
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:10,600
it is one of the two three worst rosters in

190
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,399
all football. You're not gonna win with that roster.

191
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,399
Speaker 2: So anyway, Carolina's roster is much better than the Raiders.

192
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: There you go, so it is the worst roster Carolina, Tennessee.

193
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:19,919
Speaker 2: I think Carolina's got a few players out there.

194
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: They never rebounded from the unfortunate incident of having to

195
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,440
let John Gruden go.

196
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: They never rebounded. I would say that they never rebounded

197
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:33,840
from trading John Gruden in two thousand and one. Okay,

198
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:36,240
the organization has never been the same since then.

199
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: Then.

200
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,919
Speaker 3: It looked like they were on the right track when

201
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,639
they hired John Gruden.

202
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: And I think Marco is exactly right.

203
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 3: I actually said that to the people I was sitting

204
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,159
with on Monday night. No doubt they've never recovered from

205
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,679
losing John Gruden no either time exactly.

206
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Okay, let's look ahead to Sunday's game, a battle of

207
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,440
two and eight teams, Raiders and the Browns. And I

208
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:03,600
know a person last night that said he couldn't give

209
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,600
away his tickets for this game. You're talking about the

210
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,600
eleven hundred dollars true story. I mean, who really wants

211
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,080
to go to this game unless hey come to the

212
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,759
game enjoying. We've got some TVs that maybe we could

213
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:16,120
switch the TVs in the suite to eat some of

214
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,360
John Murray shrimp or something like that. That's only reason

215
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,200
you would go to this game on a one oh

216
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,320
five when you got other quality games at one twenty five.

217
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,159
But anyway, with all that being said, Shader Sanders getting

218
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,519
his first professional start, what are you seeing from a

219
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,799
betting perspective? Or are you even seeing action on this game?

220
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,399
Because usually we will say, well if the Panthers are

221
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:37,240
playing the Browns or in these games like no action whatsoever?

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,200
How is this playing out at the window?

223
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: Well, those shrimp are pretty exclusive. We're not gonna give

224
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,480
those away. Yeah, I started that. I would say surprised.

225
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: Me at least Sharp guys betting the Raiders, and we've

226
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,080
seen the Raiders move from three to four. I don't

227
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,960
know if that's because Shador Sanders is starting for Cleveland.

228
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,759
Maybe it is a little bit. I saw a little

229
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:05,080
bit of him on Sunday. He's doing what a lot

230
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,120
of young quarterbacks do, which is when the first read

231
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,600
is not there, he's ducking his head and it's like,

232
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,200
no way, man, you got to keep looking around. He

233
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:16,720
just that guy's covered, oh boy, and he just ducks

234
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,840
his head and starts trying to scramble out of there.

235
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: That's not going to work in the NFL.

236
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: And if he does that on Sunday, Raiders might be

237
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:26,120
three and eight come Monday.

238
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: We're not. From the total perspective, thirty six and a half,

239
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:32,639
the conventional wisdom says, I mean Cleveland's defense is so

240
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:36,720
rock solid. I'm just fearful, Like, okay, they're two in eight.

241
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:40,600
They continue to lose, you know, you know, because defense

242
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,960
is all about passion and fire and emotion, and you know,

243
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:47,600
at what point do you say, you know, wow, this

244
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,879
this season's over. I start looking at the Bahamas coming

245
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,200
up here in January, you know, I mean, this has

246
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,279
doesn't have thirteen to nine written all over it.

247
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: Though, Well, that's what you saw out of the Raiders

248
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,679
secondary on Monday night, you know, very lack of days

249
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,519
ago efforts to tackle the receivers of Dallas. If that's

250
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:11,879
what you're gonna get. I mean, it's possible. But one

251
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:13,600
thing that could one thing that could push.

252
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:14,519
Speaker 2: A total like this over.

253
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 3: The total is so low, and you've got a rock

254
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,879
solid Cleveland defense that might be able to force turnovers,

255
00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:24,639
and you've got a quarterback for Cleveland that might be

256
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,480
in the mood to give a few turnovers away and

257
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,919
that could lead to it to some points.

258
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Margre.

259
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:31,879
Speaker 4: You know, there's no question about that. And when you

260
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,360
have teams at the end of the season like this

261
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,480
where I look at do end game wagering, because if

262
00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:43,799
you have a team like that and one thing goes bad,

263
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,600
that's when it'll spiral out of control. They could throw

264
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,279
it in in a hurry. But as far as Sanders goes, you,

265
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,879
a quarterback couldn't have looked any worse than he looked

266
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:57,559
when he came in last week. Yes, but in fairness

267
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,559
to him, he's never been a great prep guy. Okay,

268
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,279
that's been one of the knocks on him. And if

269
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:07,200
you're not expected to start, how much work you really

270
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,279
think this guy in focus had coming into that game.

271
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,960
It's gonna be a different story this week. This is

272
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,200
his maybe one and only chance to make a mark

273
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,840
in the NFL, to show that he's worth something. He's

274
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:22,480
gonna get all the first string snaps this week. He's

275
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,200
gonna have a game plan that's devised for him, not

276
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,919
Dylan Gabriel when you came in. I trust the defense

277
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,360
of Cleveland. I don't trust the offense of the Raiders.

278
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:39,320
We saw what the Raiders weren't able to do against

279
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,759
one of the worst defenses last week, and everybody's making

280
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,039
a big deal. Well, Dallas just got Williams. You know

281
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:48,159
that instantly improved the defense.

282
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:49,159
Speaker 1: Just stop.

283
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 4: Okay, it was the ineptness of the Raiders. Not that

284
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:57,240
much of an improvement on the Dallas defense. If he

285
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,639
just doesn't make mistakes, I think the defense can carry them.

286
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:04,080
And I've always been a proponent if I have the

287
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360
better defense getting points, That's where I'm going to start

288
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:10,120
my handicap. And that's clearly with Cleveland.

289
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: Okay, no doubt about that, Yeah, no doubt. And Gino

290
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Smith is not exactly lighting the world terable all day.

291
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: But Gino Smith, my fellow mountaineer, pains me to say it,

292
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480
but he's not playing well.

293
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:29,159
Speaker 1: Let me pose a question to you guys, and this

294
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,240
kind of translates maybe into the betting as well too,

295
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:34,000
But how do you feel as we are now eleven

296
00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:38,840
twelve weeks into this season where we're talking every week

297
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:42,960
about Kansas City and Buffalo and Baltimore could maybe even

298
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,120
miss the playoffs, which I still think is kind of

299
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:47,559
highly unlikely. But the Chiefs are a five hundred team

300
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:52,759
right now. Do you prefer to see are these teams

301
00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:59,080
struggle or are you more inclined to like we're either

302
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,879
rooting for the New England's and the Denvers and these

303
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:04,639
younger quarterbacks of the world, or do you want to

304
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,320
see Patrick Mahomes and josh Allen Lamar Jackson get it

305
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,759
together because you think it's gonna be a better brand

306
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,279
of postseason football, because for the first time in a

307
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,720
long time, we're talking about New England and based you know,

308
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:20,120
a young quarterback in Drake may Bow Nix and Denver

309
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,120
all Right throwing the Chicago Bears. On the NFC side,

310
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,159
we're seeing teams traditionally at the bottom, and now all

311
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,360
of a sudden they are at the top and they're

312
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,879
in control of their own destinacy, destiny. What do you

313
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:32,639
prefer to see here?

314
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: I think it's great in the AFC, I think, And

315
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,320
what I like about it is, let's like you mentioned

316
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,919
New England and Denver. Let's say they win their respective divisions,

317
00:15:40,919 --> 00:15:44,039
which it looks like they will. Now Josh Allen and

318
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,960
Patrick Mahomes are gonna have to go on the road,

319
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:49,440
and it's gonna set up really from the start of

320
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,039
the AFC playoffs great matchups, and I don't know, I.

321
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,559
Speaker 2: Think it's more interesting, okay, And then are.

322
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: They going to be able to fight their way through

323
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,879
those games to get back to where they're facing each other?

324
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:05,200
I don't know, because I think Buffalo is a lousy

325
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,399
football team. I don't like their coach, Their defense is lousy.

326
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,919
They just have this one guy who happens to be

327
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,399
their quarterback, which is the most important position, and I

328
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,519
think he is the best player in the league and

329
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:19,080
arrest of the team I think is pretty bad.

330
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,399
Speaker 2: Can he overcome I mean, I hope.

331
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,519
Speaker 3: We'd agree that New England and Denver have significantly better

332
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,159
rosters than Buffalo.

333
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,279
Speaker 2: I think they do.

334
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: Can he overcome that on the road in the playoffs?

335
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:36,480
I think is a very interesting storyline. Same thing with Mahomes.

336
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:40,279
Can Mahomes win three road playoff games and get back

337
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:41,519
to his million Super Bowl?

338
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:44,519
Speaker 2: I think he could, But Willie, I don't know. I

339
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:45,879
think it's interesting.

340
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:49,799
Speaker 4: New England is the story and I think New England is.

341
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:51,639
Speaker 1: For real.

342
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: People keep waiting for them to make the step back.

343
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Drake May is playing good football and they play sound defense,

344
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,039
and what you know they've done, you know, with you know,

345
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,200
the head coach coming in from Tennessee and getting what

346
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,400
he's done in one year, it's incredible. But I'm gonna

347
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:14,000
spin in this back a second. And you're saying the

348
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:17,039
teams that you know, we're accustomed to seeing, and we

349
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,240
talked about it last segment. It's Baltimore, It's Buffalo, It's

350
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:24,400
Kansas City. Right now, Kansas City and Buffalo, neither one

351
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,079
of them have a road to the playoffs at home.

352
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,160
They've got to go on the road. Baltimore is the

353
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,799
one team of that trio that I'm gonna still beat

354
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,079
this till the finish line. They're gonna win the AFC

355
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,640
North and they're gonna have a home game and then

356
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:44,039
when they go on the road, they're gonna be the

357
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,720
experienced team playing one of these upstarts Denver or New England,

358
00:17:50,079 --> 00:17:52,640
which if they get healthy and get this fixed in

359
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,039
the last week, what they do. They threw in a

360
00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:57,920
clunker against Cleveland where they looking past Cleveland they should

361
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,759
and that's one of your division rivals. It always plays,

362
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:03,200
you know, one of the two games tough every year.

363
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:06,559
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Baltimore, though, I'm gonna say what

364
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,839
John said about Buffalo. I don't I don't think the

365
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,119
Buffalo roster is that as bad as you do. They

366
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,559
still have some talent, like you said, Josh Allen, but

367
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,359
Josh Allen can go south in a heartbeat for a

368
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,599
couple of plays. And we saw and we saw it,

369
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,880
we saw it last night, right and I don't think

370
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,039
I think Baltimore is in that same vein Eve when

371
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:30,000
you look at that roster, okay, before you could say

372
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,400
Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry and you start there, and

373
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:36,319
neither one of those guys is at the level that

374
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,240
we want to see. Derek Henry has been non functional

375
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,799
for them for the most part, and Jackson clearly is injured,

376
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,000
and I think this injury is lingering and will continue

377
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,440
to linger if he doesn't, you know, rest anymore. So

378
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:52,799
I think that Buffalo and Baltimore are all question marks

379
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:55,880
since Kansas City I think has the best roster and

380
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,799
anything they've added to that roster, and they've had some

381
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,799
unfortunate losses like the game last week where if it

382
00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:06,559
wasn't for Mahomes' interceptions and the penalties, they probably beat

383
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:09,799
Denver last week. So you know, I still think that

384
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,880
those three teams can be very, very good. And that

385
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:17,920
narrative about bo Nix and Drake may what are they

386
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,559
gonna do even if they have home field advantage, what

387
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,720
are they going to do against the upper Chelalont opponent,

388
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:24,680
Because for the most part, like New England, has not

389
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:27,759
played a real tough schedule. Still, it's a good story.

390
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:30,240
It's cool, you know. So I don't know. And then

391
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,000
on the flip side over the NFC, you got the Eagles,

392
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,640
and everyone's bad mouth in the Eagles, and I know,

393
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:38,000
but they continue to win. They win ugly.

394
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: They're a tough watch.

395
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: They're a tough watch, but they're tough defensively, too. Look

396
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,680
what they did Detroit defensively.

397
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,759
Speaker 2: They're more than tough defensively. Yeah.

398
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: And you know, I was asked this week by Fox

399
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,160
Sports to power rate the teams, and I had Philly.

400
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:54,599
I had Philly just below the Rams one and two.

401
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,480
You know, I just think they're tough to watch. They

402
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,880
don't really play a brand of football that if you

403
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,240
neutral and you didn't have money on them, that you'd

404
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:06,480
enjoy watching. But they're they're front four defensively, and their

405
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:09,200
offensive line. You know, they're the best NFL team in

406
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,319
the trenches without a doubt.

407
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,279
Speaker 4: The Kansas City last year.

408
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Real quick, where's the money going to the NFL side

409
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,799
for Sunday and Monday.

410
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 3: We took a little bit of money on Dallas. Dallas

411
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,119
this morning, we're down to three on that game. Monday

412
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,759
night is getting a lot of steam. They laid six

413
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,359
six and a half seven San Francisco at home against Carolina.

414
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,160
Carolina could be in first place on Monday on Tuesday morning.

415
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:36,319
If the Rams beat the Bucks, which they probably will

416
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:39,079
according to the point spread, and they spring and upset

417
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,759
they be in Carolina, they would be in first place

418
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,319
in the NFC South Tuesday morning.

419
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: That's kind of shocking.

420
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:49,839
Speaker 3: I think I'd say those two New Orleans got some

421
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,519
sharp money against Atlanta. That's a dut of a game, right, Yeah,

422
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:55,960
And Arizona got a little bit of sharp money. They're

423
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,839
home against Jacksonville.

424
00:20:57,599 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Interesting, all right, appreciate the time as all is. John

425
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,640
great stuff, all right, and then John will not be

426
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,720
with us next week because he's going to be, you know,

427
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,119
living the life of luxury this time down in San Diego.

428
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: I'll be at del Mar losing all my money, and

429
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:14,279
I don't even honestly, it doesn't even bother me, totally

430
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:15,359
unfazed by the whole thing.

431
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,839
Speaker 2: It's just money. It's rather be at del Mar.

432
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,839
Speaker 1: He wants to look, you know, where the surf meets

433
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:20,200
the turf.

434
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: Baby, of course, I always always want to be there.

435
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,039
Speaker 1: All right, Go get yourself a Tanner's Burger. Tanner's no, no,

00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,119

440
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,880
We got a Tanner got a situation at del Mar

441

you got a situation.

442
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,079
Speaker 2: We're well taken care of by the fine folks.

443
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:46,079
