1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is the best betting show ever.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,119
And when I mean ever, I mean at least over

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,039
the last six minutes here, Joe and Airy longside. Well,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,480
we don't want arts. First of all, I am sorry

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,559
Art that I disrespected you like that. Let me get

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,399
your name in there so we can we make sure

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,000
that we don't ever make that mistake again. So hold

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,519
on one second on, I promise we're going to get

9
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:30,839
you all squared away here, because nobody wants to be

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,159
known as Lawrence Presman, who, by the way, is trying

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,240
to convince me that he's not actually laying on the

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,600
beach right now, that he is somehow doing well in

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,799
his poker tournament. But I think you and I both

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,039
know that is not the case. But he is enjoying

15
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:48,520
the warm weather here in South Florida, Art, which I'm

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,679
guessing is half the battle. But there you go. Now

17
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:54,079
it's Art to see or not Lawrence President. So we

18
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:58,159
welcome you back in now, Art unfortunately mislabeling you there

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,320
as the press. But we got a lot going on

20
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,400
coming up this week. We got a lot going on

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,959
here today. We got plenty of college basketball, huge conference

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,840
games coming up today. We got NBA, you got NHL,

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,599
but of course we got divisional matchups We've got also, well,

24
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:21,079
we got one more game to crown a national champion

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,079
in college football. But let's start like we usually do

26
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:27,799
on a Tuesday with you, because I'm dying and now

27
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:31,400
feels like the public might have had themselves a halfway

28
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:35,640
decent weekend here in wild card weekend. How did the

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,879
books do after everything was said and done?

30
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe, you know, putting my name as Lawrence Pressman,

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,840
it's like a as fantasy and having a punishment. I

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,400
think that's like my fantasy punishment is to be Lawrence Pressman.

33
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: For the day.

34
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:51,519
Speaker 1: You know that's correct?

35
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: All right? I paid my dues and I'm good. But

36
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:56,799
you know, yeah, yeah, Joe.

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,519
Speaker 2: As far as the weekend goes, you know, we'll just

38
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:01,959
start with Saturday and obviously the Rams. We had talked

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,359
earlier in the week where there was a lot of

40
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:05,519
Ram money. Hey listen, if the Rams would have lost

41
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:07,959
out ready, that would have been awesome because you would

42
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:11,719
have crushed all the parlays early. But the Rams covering

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,159
was a really good result, it really was. And then

44
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:17,639
we get to the sets the night game, and we

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,000
would have had a banner day if green Bay would

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,400
have won that game and held on. They didn't, so

47
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:25,439
it ended up being like just a wash of a

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,879
day for us. Green Bay really killed us blowing that

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,719
game that way, and then we get to Sunday, and

50
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:31,599
Sunday was awesome.

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,319
Speaker 3: You get to that Jacksonville game.

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: Jacksonville closed what one and a half two in that game,

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960
so obviously a ton of Jacksonville money.

54
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,199
Speaker 3: Buffalo winning outright was enormous.

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: We had talked all week about San Francisco that that

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,199
was our biggest knee because it felt like it was

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,159
just one way traffic on Philly. That thing was three

58
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,840
and a half, got up to six. The sharps and

59
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,479
the publics were there, all the teasers, all the moneyline

60
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:01,599
parlays were on Philly. So San Francisco big outcome for us.

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,120
And then the night game, once you got to that,

62
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:07,199
it kind of was a wash as far as a

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,400
result for US. I mean, maybe a little bit of

64
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:12,800
money we made on New England, but San Francisco carried

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,000
the day for us. Sunday was a banner day for us,

66
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,879
and then last night a little bit of a loss

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,919
on Houston early in the week. We took a ton

68
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:26,639
and I mean a ton of sharp Pittsburgh money, but

69
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,240
the public and everyone else kind of overwhelmed that with

70
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:31,439
the Houston money and a lot of things that were

71
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:34,759
tied into Houston on Monday night as far as parlays

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,599
and teasers and parlay cards and all that. So a

73
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,479
little bit of a loss, but overall, because Sunday was

74
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,639
so good and that San Francisco win, it was a

75
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:43,960
winning weekend for us.

76
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:48,919
Speaker 1: We had I know, we talked about it on Friday Art.

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,080
We had Buffalo becoming very public, but that wasn't the

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560
public running to the window flipping that line before kickoff there.

79
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:02,000
So that was a big, big move before. And we

80
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:04,639
had mentioned the only game all week where the pros

81
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:08,360
and the Joe's were aligned seemed to be that Philadelphia game.

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,879
You said you couldn't find anybody coming to the window

83
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:14,360
to bet the forty nine ers, uh, And it was

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,920
just one way money Pros and Joe's. And of course

85
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:23,279
that is the biggest head scratcher upset of the of

86
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:27,759
the weekend. But in hindsight, it probably should not have

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,800
been that big a surprise to a lot of people.

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,519
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I would totally agree.

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: You know, I think a lot of people in the

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,439
end when you actually watch that game and look at

91
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:39,879
that game, Yeah, Philly's offense is so challenged. It's like,

92
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,040
how are they gonna go and cover a six point game?

93
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,040
Despite all the San Francisco injuries and obviously they had

94
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,319
even more on Sunday with Kettle going down. It's like

95
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,600
a team every week. It's the you know, the wounded

96
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:55,120
Warriors just going through. But yeah, I mean, you're right

97
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,480
about that Jacksonville game. I thought a Buffalo would be

98
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,600
pretty public, and they were, but right, it's it's not

99
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,839
the public that's going to move an opening number of

100
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,839
Buffalo early from one to them being a two point

101
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:10,279
dog by kickoff. So clearly we took a ton of

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,399
sharp and then we started to see some public Jacksonville money.

103
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: We really did.

104
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:18,199
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, And then of course most places I don't

105
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:20,439
know what you club, but most places where I think

106
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,720
fifty one hour, fifty two and a half somewhere in

107
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,160
that ballpark for that total and what at Land fifty one?

108
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:32,240
So yeah, yikes, that was that was very interesting as well.

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,560
But how about rewind it the friday we talked about

110
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,319
Oregon being also against Indiana. You had mentioned Indiana had

111
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,600
become the public darling, you were getting nothing but Indiana money.

112
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,600
If I remember quikly, it was a little bit of

113
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:52,079
a push for Oregon late, but for the most part,

114
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:55,639
it was over before it began. How did that? How

115
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,639
did the books do with Indiana and Oregon in Indiana

116
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,000
kill you?

117
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they did.

118
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: Listen, there was a little bit of support for Oregon,

119
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,839
but I think the overwhelming Indiana money that has just

120
00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:10,879
been coming through this whole tournament and then Indiana and

121
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,600
we'll talk about it too in the championship game. You know,

122
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,680
with them being the favorite that they are, they're very

123
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,920
popular in the moneyline favorite parlays. Indiana is always going

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,480
to be one of the two or three or four

125
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,079
legs in somebody's parlay because they just go out and

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,160
they beat everyone by forty. So, I mean people are

127
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,360
using Indiana like the free Bingos square now, so and

128
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:31,560
that's no different once we get to this championship game.

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,399
Speaker 3: You've already seen that.

130
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Yep, that is for sure, all right, Art, So let's

131
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,040
start there as we try to figure out where the

132
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,240
money is going this week and will we saw the

133
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,040
look ahead ART one five, five and a half for

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,399
an Indiana for Miami game. You and I talked about

135
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:54,839
that on Friday, and then you know, they absolutely steamrolled Oregon.

136
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,439
Then we saw seven and a half as an open

137
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,920
and unless it has been all Indiana ever since, correct,

138
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,800
I mean I saw maybe eight and a half's yesterday

139
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:10,120
pretty prevalent. I even saw nine in the market yesterday.

140
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,519
Steve and I talked about it and said, listen, if

141
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,439
you like Miami, there is no rush. It feels like

142
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,399
to have to bet Miami at this point because if

143
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,839
that money is coming, it is likely going to be

144
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,720
later in the week. Art They're going to see how

145
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,800
far this line gets pushed towards Indiana. But it feels

146
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,800
like that might be the only money you're just getting

147
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,079
so far in this one.

148
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And you mentioned it.

149
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: We opened seven and a half, we're now eight and

150
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,360
a half, and this is something we've talked about on

151
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:43,120
this show. Right we're starting to be around dead numbers,

152
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,079
So what's the difference. I mean, you know, eight, eight

153
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,199
and a half, nine, nine.

154
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:47,439
Speaker 3: And a half.

155
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: You're right, I think we're going to see eventually how

156
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,480
high we could push this number. You've already seen the

157
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:55,920
money line stuff with Indiana. People are coming to the

158
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,079
window and lay in three thirty, lay in three forty

159
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600
to win a coupleule of dimes because Indiana has just

160
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:03,519
been that team.

161
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:03,879
Speaker 1: Now.

162
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:06,759
Speaker 2: We have also mentioned we get murdered on Miami in

163
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,399
the futures, so we're rooting for Indiana, but we're also not,

164
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,560
you know, over here, just trying to give Indiana money away.

165
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,240
We're just gonna book the game the way we're.

166
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: Gonna book it. And I think I'm with you, guys.

167
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,319
Speaker 2: I think this thing's gonna approach ten I think if

168
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:24,560
you like Miami, you like Miami on the money line,

169
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:29,600
I think you wait because the Indiana story is just overwhelming.

170
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,200
I haven't heard one person talk about Miami this week

171
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:34,320
or leading up to this game, and I think you're

172
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,039
just gonna continue with that. It's gonna continue to be

173
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:38,080
Indiana money here.

174
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: It feels a lot like that forty nine Ers Eagles game.

175
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,840
You know, we just could not find anybody wanting to

176
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,879
back the can't find anybody wanted to back Miami except

177
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:53,279
this six son of a bitch right here, all right,

178
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,399
So plenty of time there. Interestingly enough, as much of

179
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,000
as a move that we've seen and continue to see. Uh.

180
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,279
On the side, are not a lot of movement in

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,399
the total forty eight and a half isn't open still

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,480
forty eight and a half. You tend to usually get

183
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,679
those kinds of moves on the total when the limits

184
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,279
are higher later in the week or before kick. When

185
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,559
do you usually see the push with the total?

186
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you'll see some probably total money later

187
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:22,600
in the week. And I think this is one two

188
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,279
where you'll see the public coming and want to bet

189
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
the over. They're just gonna want to bet a championship

190
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:29,639
game over and maybe you know, the sharp guys are

191
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,120
waiting to see this is total get pushed up a

192
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,000
little bit and maybe we want to come in and

193
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:36,080
fire on the under.

194
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: Just haven't seen that yet. Really, just for.

195
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: Us, the main moves have been on the money line

196
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,879
and on the side. Because you said we haven't budgeted

197
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:46,240
off our forty eight and a half.

198
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:49,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And that seems to be pretty steady here.

199
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,279
Not so much though, lack of movement in the divisional

200
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,320
rounds now that we know everything that is set up

201
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,759
here are and I think the one game that stuck

202
00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:06,159
out to everybody was the Denver and Buffalo game where

203
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:09,320
Buffalo opens up as that small favorite right one, one

204
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,559
and a half and it's like deja vu all over

205
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,679
again because they just did that with Jacksonville. But Jacksonville

206
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,519
ended up going off as the favorite. We're starting to

207
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,840
see some movement in that direction already are but Denver

208
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,919
feels like maybe they're the public side here early on.

209
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,080
What are you seeing in this game for us?

210
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,399
Speaker 2: And we did open Buffalo as a small favorite minus one,

211
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,759
and our initial bets early bets, and I mean, this

212
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:40,279
is as public as it gets. A couple of you know,

213
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,759
money line stuff on Buffalo, you know, laying minus one, fifteen,

214
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,759
that type of stuff, and then one of our sharpest

215
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,399
NFL accounts did take Denver plus one, so we moved,

216
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,919
we moved to pick on the game. And I'm with

217
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:56,360
you on this. I think this is gonna be public's

218
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,159
gonna be all over Buffalo again. And I think the

219
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,200
sharp guys, and we've seen it early, are gonna look

220
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,639
to take Denver here. And this is a game, It

221
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:07,720
would not shock me if Denver closes as a one

222
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,240
to one and a half point favorite. It feels like

223
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,759
Denver is getting no respect. They haven't gotten a lot

224
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,519
of respect all year pretty much in the betting market.

225
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,960
It felt like, and I think buff Buffalo is going

226
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,080
to start to go on this you know ride here

227
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,799
with Josh Allen saying, Oh, he's going to make the

228
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,159
super Bowl and you're gonna really see And you gotta

229
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:27,039
remember too, the later we get in these playoffs, especially

230
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,399
super Bowl, you start to see way more public money. Yeah,

231
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,240
there's way more public money each round you go in

232
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,399
these playoffs. It always happens.

233
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, big time here. And we've had a couple

234
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:42,960
of days we you know, a couple of those games

235
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,519
after Saturday, we knew what the matchups were gonna be.

236
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:49,480
We knew the forty nine ers winning were heading back

237
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:54,279
to a very familiar foe there in Seattle, and we

238
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,240
saw what look ahead there. Six and a half maybe seven,

239
00:11:57,879 --> 00:11:59,399
saw a lot of seven and a half. So I

240
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,200
think we're still at seven and a half here art

241
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,679
with Seattle and the forty nine ers. Not a lot

242
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,320
of movement on your end either here.

243
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: We opened seven, we moved to seven and a half,

244
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,080
and that was just a market move for us. It's

245
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,159
not like we took a bet on seven and pushed

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,200
us to the seven and a half. We didn't want

247
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,080
to be at seven. We said, you know what, we'll

248
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,080
go to seven and a half. We almost too, And listen,

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,240
when the market moves like that, then it's like, well

250
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:25,039
does someone want to come take seven in a half

251
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,200
And no one has bit yet on that. So now listen,

252
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,399
we know Seattle, when you sit at that seven seven

253
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,000
and a half gonna be very popular in moneyline parlays

254
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,360
and very popular and teasers.

255
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,759
Speaker 3: There's no doubt we will be rooting for San Francisco.

256
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like once again you're gonna need the

257
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,639
forty nine ers to make it a very profitable weekend

258
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,279
for the books there. And the Rams opened up three

259
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,879
and a half against Chicago. But I don't know, I'm

260
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,320
starting to see maybe a four or two pop up

261
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,639
in the market here, are you seeing any? And boys,

262
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Chicago's becoming more and more public by the week here,

263
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:02,480
So what are we thinking the bears at home? Nobody

264
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:04,440
gives them a chance, and yet all they do is win.

265
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: I keep hearing art, It's true, nobody gives them a chance.

266
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:10,879
We opened three and a half on La we are

267
00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:13,360
now four once again, that is a market move as well.

268
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,600
We didn't necessarily take a bet that moved.

269
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:15,879
Speaker 1: Us to four.

270
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: It's funny our total.

271
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: I think we opened at fifty one, got as high

272
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,240
as fifty two, then we saw some sharp money bring

273
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,399
us back down to our opener fifty one. So for us,

274
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,000
really the total has been the big move in the game.

275
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,919
And let me say this on the futures, as we

276
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,799
talk about Miami killing us in college, the one team

277
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,679
we really need to avoid winning.

278
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl is the Rams.

279
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,519
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be root.

280
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

281
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: Oh, many have not stuff betting the Rams all year.

282
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,720
And I'll say this too. The Rams are huge two

283
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:48,720
in those exacts, you know, like Rams beat Patriots, Rams

284
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,440
beat Bills. Like if the Rams getting to the super

285
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,080
Bowl is even bad for us. So we really want

286
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,919
to avoid the Rams. We hope we get they get

287
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,360
picked off here in the next couple of weeks.

288
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: What we got, of course, after last night and CJ.

289
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,279
Stroud turning the ball over it can't hold on to

290
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,080
it three times and still somehow or other, the Steelers

291
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480
couldn't take advantage. But now Houston passed to head to

292
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,480
Foxborough to take on New England. Look ahead, I saw

293
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,960
two and a half in some spots threes. It feels

294
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
like that's kind of what we're at right now. Still

295
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960
a lot of threes, but it looks like we got

296
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,799
some tickets and money on Houston here. But boy, nigga,

297
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,960
are they gonna win another game strictly by defense? Aren't?

298
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:34,440
I don't know.

299
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,159
Speaker 2: Well, you know, their defense is good enough to win

300
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:40,840
a championship, now is their offense?

301
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: I don't think so. That defense is phenomenal. I'll say this.

302
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:48,039
Speaker 2: We had had a debate on if Houston wins that

303
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,559
game last night, how do we open the game. If

304
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:52,480
it's a tight game, maybe they win in a last

305
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,759
second field goal. Maybe you open New England three. But

306
00:14:55,879 --> 00:14:58,120
the way they dominated and the way that defense played,

307
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,320
and I get it, New England's way bet other than

308
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,279
Pittsburgh and Houston's gotta go on the road again and

309
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,879
win a playoff game. We decided, hey, let's open New

310
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:08,279
England two and a half. We feel comfortable there at

311
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,320
the two and a half. Nobody's wanted to lay us

312
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,200
two and a half. Now, you know, under a field

313
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600
goal with a home favorite in a playoff game, nobody

314
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,879
has done it yet. Now, obviously that line has had

315
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,879
the least amount of shelf life because obviously just came

316
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:20,960
out late last night.

317
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: We'll obviously be able to.

318
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: Talk about that game a little bit further as we

319
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,399
go down here on the weekend. Listen, a lot of

320
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:28,279
these games have barely had move in. We're gonna see

321
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:30,559
a lot more moving here in the next couple of days.

322
00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:34,120
But we felt comfortable with you with Houston and New England,

323
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,879
New England being a two and a half point favorite.

324
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: What's the biggest handled game you think this weekend? All right,

325
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:43,600
what's gonna what's gonna garner the most, the most handled?

326
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:44,120
You think?

327
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,679
Speaker 2: It's a great question. I think the Rams and Bears

328
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,200
are gonna be great there. Yeah, I could see that

329
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:54,600
because we're talking.

330
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: I mean the Rams.

331
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,879
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta remember for us who we have,

332
00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:00,960
the California influx that comes into town.

333
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: So we get that. The Bears are the Bears, and

334
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,080
they're very.

335
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: The late game on Sunday.

336
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the late game on Sunday. I think that

337
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:10,879
really helps you know.

338
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now listen, once you get to this stage,

339
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,440
you're gonna get tremendous handle. Yeah, You're gonna get tremendous handled.

340
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,000
But I would say, right now, I think the Bears

341
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Rams gonna get your highest hand.

342
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:25,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's gonna be your Sunday night game. Houston,

343
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:29,480
New England will be the three o'clock game on Sunday.

344
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,440
So a lot still gonna happen between now and then,

345
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:35,919
though Art certainly from the book perspective and the lines

346
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,759
will keep an eye on it all week long. But

347
00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:41,080
you know, as we get ready to wrap up the

348
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,879
football season here, let's not forget we got plenty of

349
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:47,519
NBA and of course college basketball action. It is a

350
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,360
loaded slate here today of conference games in college hoops.

351
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:56,480
What are you seeing on the hardwood? NBA, college basketball, NHL?

352
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:59,000
Anything crazy as well here so far this morning.

353
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely give us some stuff in all three Let's start

354
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,599
with the NHL saw some overnight money on the Islanders,

355
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,839
and we also saw some overnight money on Utah the Mammoth.

356
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,319
They've been pretty good at home. They are at home tonight.

357
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,880
When you go to the NBA in the big game,

358
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,160
okay See in the Spurs, I mean it feels like,

359
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,519
okay See really needs to win this game and prove

360
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,759
themselves that they can actually beat the Spurs. Okay, see,

361
00:17:22,759 --> 00:17:25,200
we opened seven, we're now eight on the game. They're

362
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,720
going to be super popular as well in all the

363
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,720
money line parlays for the daily stuff. So obviously if

364
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,440
we can get the Spurs to win outright, that'd be

365
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,039
great because we'll knock all those thunder money lines out.

366
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,400
We've seen the over creep up two from two twenty

367
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,480
eight and a half to two thirty. And then in

368
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:43,400
College A and M took some money. Believe they're at

369
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,400
Tennessee they took plus money or took money at plus

370
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,359
nine and a half. U console really good over money

371
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,400
on the road at newly ranked Seat and Hall over

372
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:55,440
one thirty one now one thirty four, so.

373
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,319
Speaker 3: You've seen a three point move to the over there.

374
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,759
Speaker 2: And Oklahoma at home against Flow Oklahoma took money at

375
00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:02,480
plus six.

376
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: Wow, so there you go. Oh you at home against

377
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,640
Florid who just destroyed Tennessee. Who's home against Texas A

378
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,599
and M there, and yeah, Seaton Hall and Yukon, interesting right,

379
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:18,960
I mean Yukon hasn't fared very well there against Seaton Hall,

380
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,559
especially at Seaton Hall over the last couple of seasons here,

381
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,880
so that should be a good still feels like one

382
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,119
thirty three is a ridiculously low number, and now it's

383
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,359
up to one thirty four, like it's been. They keep

384
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,680
betting the over there doesn't shock me. Art, So we

385
00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:38,799
got a little sub for everyone here. Moving forward, NBA

386
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,400
and you know, college hoops NHL certainly going to be

387
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,480
front and center moving forward. Do you usually see the

388
00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:50,160
transition art from right around now we're less football, now

389
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,119
we start to see a little more interest, a little

390
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,880
more handled towards the college basketball realm here or does

391
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,839
it stay pretty pretty steady from here moving forward?

392
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,079
Speaker 3: I always say it like this.

393
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: You know what the college basketball season, let's say starts

394
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:08,200
November sixth. The guys who bet college basketball the whole year,

395
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,119
they're betting on November sixth. The public and the people

396
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,920
who just realize, oh wait, there's a college basketball season

397
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,279
going on.

398
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: They get involved the week after.

399
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl.

400
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's.

401
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:23,079
Speaker 2: Like they start remembering, oh wait, there's other sports, and

402
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,240
then you know, you're really deep in a conference play.

403
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,920
Then you're gonna get close to your conference tournaments. Then

404
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,000
you really start to see the public start to creep

405
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,599
in on the other sports. But the guys who bet

406
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:36,160
NHL NBA College Basketball. They're there from day one, you

407
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,160
know that. I mean, you know, they don't even care

408
00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:41,759
about the football games, most of them. You know, we

409
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:45,559
have some accounts we see on November sixth, and then

410
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,359
we see to the end what April first second, whenever

411
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,440
the championship game is, and then we don't see in

412
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,200
the rest of the year. They are strictly college basketball accounts.

413
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,920
We have plenty of people like them.

414
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's certainly there are some huge games coming up.

415
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,680
How else the time to get back into the swing

416
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,680
of things here. And if you're just watching college basketball,

417
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,319
you're going wait a minute, Kansas is at fog Allen

418
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,920
and they're an underdog. Like, what in the world has

419
00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:15,640
happened here? Yeah, it's been that kind of season so far.

420
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:19,680
Welcome to the new nil in college Hoop's gonna make

421
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,359
things very interesting. Moving forward to art, all right, so

422
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,880
we've got everyone caught up. Of course, we'll have more

423
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,240
as the week progresses here, but it is time for

424
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,599
our Parlay of the Day art. So before we get

425
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,880
everyone else's picks here, Parlay of the Day can be

426
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,720
in any sport here today and you got a little

427
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:44,920
something for everyone. So what direction are you heading here tonight?

428
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: I always love the fired coach angle, and someone did

429
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,960
that in the NHL yesterday the Columbus Bluejackets fired their coach.

430
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,960
They're at home tonight against the Flames, who are no good.

431
00:20:58,519 --> 00:21:00,680
I gotta lay one thirty, but I'm gonna do it.

432
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:04,720
Give me Columbus at home minus one thirty against the Flames.

433
00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: Got to love it, all right, Art, this Caesar. If

434
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,640
it ain't bron don't fix it, min Man. That's what

435
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,519
we say here. Fired coaches system has been money. Let's

436
00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:20,079
get it to cash again here tonight. All right, Art,

437
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,720
we'll talk to you again tomorrow. We'll have more updates

438
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:27,160
across the board. What's going on though? I imagine pretty interesting

439
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,880
time here at the book leading up to, of course

440
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,319
the Super Bowl, and then not a lot of time

441
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,000
to waste because March Madness will be just a month

442
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,880
away after that, and then all hell breaks loose. So

443
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,759
it's a little crazy for you now over at the

444
00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:40,240
West Gate.

445
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, playoff football mode is huge, and

446
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,839
you know, we really get into.

447
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: You know, longer I listen. The football season's always that way,

448
00:21:49,559 --> 00:21:50,359
and we.

449
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: Recognize there's only a handful of games left, but we

450
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,519
start putting up a lot more content, a lot more props,

451
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:58,680
a lot more you know, index props, general game props.

452
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,480
Try to start to book all these NFL playoff games

453
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,400
like mini super Bowls with more options. So it's a

454
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,759
really fun time for us. A busy time, but a

455
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:08,240
fun time.

456
00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:12,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. About two and a half weeks away from pitchers

457
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:14,559
and catchers to Art. So I'll just remind you of

458
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,079
that that's around the corn World Baseball Classic should be

459
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,599
a whole lot of fun coming up, Man, Art, this

460
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,079
sees enjoyed the day. Man, we appreciate the time. As always.

461
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:26,599
We'll talk to you again, Omar. All right, Merril, So

462
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:33,119
Art is going with his usual fired coaches system. There

463
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,559
the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in the NHL. Now it

464
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,640
is up to you and I not to screw this

465
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:43,279
three leg parlay of the day up. And we got

466
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:45,119
plenty of games to look at it too, a lot

467
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,799
of NBA, a lot of college basketball here. So which

468
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,440
side or which league are you looking to go with

469
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:56,759
for your end of the parlay of the day.

470
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: A little bit of a sharp money move, but I

471
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,880
think there's still some value at seven o'clock Eastern tonight

472
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:06,480
in the ACC College Hoops, Mimia Florida opened is about

473
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,480
a two and a half point favorite over Notre Dame.

474
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,240
Isn't it a appro pro that they're playing Notre Dame

475
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:13,319
in college hoops? And you got to figure that's a

476
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,400
huge spot for Notre Dame, right, the team that kept

477
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,759
them out of the college football playoffs. Well, the sharp

478
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:20,799
mightey doesn't feel that way. They're back in Miami of

479
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:23,240
Florida open two and a half. It's now up to

480
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:25,079
four and a half, even five at some of the

481
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,400
sharper allshore books, and I agree with that move tonight.

482
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,640
I think Miamia Florida is the better team in this game,

483
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,839
and if you're going to play it, I would lay

484
00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:35,680
it with the Hurricanes. It would have been a great

485
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,039
college football game we saw the opening week of the season.

486
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,400
But now we're getting in college hoops tonight, and one

487
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,079
thing that jumps out to me, but Miami of Florida

488
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:45,119
a really good offensive team this season and get it

489
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,240
done really at both ends of the court. Off to

490
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:49,880
a three to zero starting the ACC. You look at

491
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,880
this matchup tonight as well against Notre Dame. I think

492
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,319
One of the edges Miami's going to have is not

493
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,480
only the offensive edge, but also with the tempo. Notre

494
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,319
Dame likes to play slow half court basketball, Miami's gonna

495
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:02,200
speed it up. And normally I side with the slower

496
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,759
half court team at home, but I just don't think

497
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:08,319
that matchup's gonna work tonight. Also, Miami does not rely

498
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,519
on the three point shot much. They're an excellent two

499
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:13,880
point shooting team scoring down low, and Notre Dame does

500
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,640
not force turnovers, So short money's on Miamia, Florida. I

501
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,839
would agree with that move tonight.

502
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's funny. I've been watching Steve all day long.

503
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,680
What a battle in the marketplace on the total. In

504
00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:28,039
that game, it opened up one forty four and a half,

505
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,920
and at about nine thirty this morning, it got steamed

506
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,400
down to as low as one forty one and a half.

507
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,759
And we know, listen, Notre Dame and Shrewsbury's not gonna

508
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:39,599
be running up and down the court in any way,

509
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:43,440
shape or form here. But about an hour and a

510
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,559
half later it got jacked all the way back up,

511
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:49,440
steams all the way back up to one forty four,

512
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:51,640
one forty four and a half only to get hit

513
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,319
a game to go back the other way, and now

514
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,920
once again, sure enough the over money has come in.

515
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:01,799
So it's funny watching how that happened different hours during

516
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:04,440
the day. You can see the different steam moves across

517
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,279
the board multiple books. But we got two competing groups.

518
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:11,319
One thinks the unders to play in that game and

519
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,799
one thinks the over is, which likely means it's somewhere

520
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:16,400
in the middle. There isn't it, Steve.

521
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: Well, I think you could definitely make a case the

522
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,160
side and total or codependent. Right, So we saw that

523
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,359
early money coming to Miamia, Florida from two and a

524
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,640
half up to four and a half five That would

525
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,039
probably coincide with money coming on the over as well,

526
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:30,559
because Miami likes to play fast and Notre Dame plays slow,

527
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,079
and whichever team dictates the tempo side total probably correlated.

528
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,000
So a two team parlay with Miami over or Notre

529
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:40,599
Dame under probably would not be a bad investment tonight.

530
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,559
Speaker 1: Like it all right, I am gonna go in the

531
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,519
NBA then, and I am going to I am going

532
00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:51,160
to look at the Houston Rockets at home, who have

533
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:53,279
not played a home game. It feels like in a

534
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,400
very very very long time. But this starts a five

535
00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,400
game homestand that they will be on and boil. It's

536
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,000
gotta be a little embarrassing right coming off a loss

537
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:07,599
to Sacramento. You couldn't beat Portland not once, but twice,

538
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:10,160
So I think they're gonna be glad to get home.

539
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,920
They're taking on a Chicago team who will have no Josh,

540
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,279
getting old Colby White very hard. I think for Chicago

541
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,720
to be competitive without them. This will be Sangoon's second

542
00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:26,279
game back. I believe now from the injury. I would

543
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:29,799
look for Houston to light up Chicago in this one here.

544
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:32,839
I know it's thirteen, but it's thirteen for a reason.

545
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,359
I think Chicago's got a game tomorrow night against Utah

546
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,279
in which they'll probably get everybody back. But it feels

547
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:44,440
like this is one of those scheduled losses here Maryland.

548
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,480
It feels like Houston has a little frustration they might

549
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:50,359
want to get out tonight. So I'll take Houston for

550
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:55,000
my end of the of the parlay of the day.

551
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,480
So there you got it. We've got one NBA one

552
00:26:57,599 --> 00:27:02,279
college and of course Art and the n h L guys.

553
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:05,519
Don't forget hit that light button, hit the subscribe button.

554
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:08,000
We do have a surprise for you, though, Prez.

555
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:09,319
Speaker 4: Even though he.

556
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,799
Speaker 1: Still claims to be at the poker table, Meryl is

557
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:17,960
apparently gonna drop in with a big announcement. He's got

558
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,880
a big play here tonight. He also has a couple

559
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,359
of plays in the NHL that he wants to give out,

560
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,839
so we'll hear from him shortly. But that does remind

561
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,039
me that, you know, it's now that I get the pres.

562
00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:34,720
I can't get that picture out of my head here Meryl,

563
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,799
because now it is time for some business here. And

564
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,319
yet when it comes to the PRES, he's all about business. Apparently,

565
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:45,119
how about you tonight doing a loaded slate? What do

566
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,680
you got rolling over at wager Talk?

567
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: I like Eli wears that suit in more than one location.

568
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:52,839
It went from the Halloween party to the football stadium

569
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,440
where he's now apparently the halftime entertainment. He doesn't realize

570
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,880
that the outfit is the entertainment, not what he thinks.

571
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,839
But hey, leisure suit, whatever floats your boat, my man,

593
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,480
those five dollar plays and let's make it a profitable

594
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,920
night here, Steve. Just like well, the Houston Texans did

595
00:29:16,359 --> 00:29:19,319
last night. Now that we know what the divisional round

596
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,559
is going to look like here Houston on its way

597
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,440
to New England, and we talked to Art earlier and

598
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,480
Art said, listen, whatever we see right now, we're likely

599
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:35,279
going to see maybe some different moves in different numbers

600
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,279
as the week and of course the limits rise. But

601
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,119
he also showed that looks like Denver in some spots

602
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,799
is already starting to get a little bit of love

603
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:50,480
in the marketplace because they were a dog to open.

604
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,000
We talked about that yesterday, Steve, and now it looks

605
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,240
like in a lot of spots Denver minus one here,

606
00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:00,480
and it wouldn't shock me if this continent used to

607
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,000
go in that direction. How about you.

608
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:06,599
Speaker 4: It's tricky because I think the situational setup, as we

609
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:09,720
talked about yesterday, definitely favored the Broncos and they were

610
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:11,039
a home dog. They were a one one and a

611
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:13,039
half point home dog Monday yesterday and we first started

612
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,079
talking about it. Now they're a pick them to one

613
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,920
point favorite in most spots, and historically speaking, having to

614
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,839
buy having home field has been worth four to five points.

615
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,880
It's a strong situational set up. Buffalo also last second

616
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,920
win come from behind when on the road now, traveling

617
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,559
cross country, playing in the thin air and altitude on

618
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,599
a short week against arrested team, huge situational edge for Denver.

619
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,119
The problem is, I'm not a believer in Denver. I

620
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:38,920
want to fade them. I think they're a phony one seed.

621
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,759
They won the majority of their games by less than

622
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,400
a score this season, and that does mean something. But

623
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680
then again, they're the better defensive team as well, So

624
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,240
we get the situational set up the better defense with Denver,

625
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:50,440
I can understand why there has been some money coming

626
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,359
on the Broncos and why they're a slight favored now.

627
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also I mean, now that we know it's

628
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,119
Houston and New England, two and a half is what

629
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,440
the Westgate all with a couple of spots opened up

630
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,599
at two and a half late last night. But we

631
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,960
wake up here today and it looks like three across

632
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,759
the board here, and I think that it feels like

633
00:31:13,359 --> 00:31:17,200
Houston could get a little bit public as the week progresses,

634
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:20,759
because that defense is what everybody focuses on. But if

635
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:25,160
we're being honest, Meryl, you know both offenses. I think

636
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,599
we question, right New England, who the hell have you played?

637
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,559
This will be the best defense they have played in

638
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Houston all year long. And Houston, I mean three turnovers.

639
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,480
You can get away with that against Pittsburgh. I don't

640
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,839
know even get away with that with New England. So

641
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,960
this is a tricky game, and I think the market

642
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,200
I don't know that we get back over a field

643
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,720
goal here. I don't think we get to three and

644
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,359
a half at any point. We might get back down

645
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,200
to two and a half.

646
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 4: Though, Oh we're geting to three and a half. Selth

647
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,519
point is dealing it right now. I'm looking at the

648
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:00,640
Ossite screen, Yeah, on Tuesday afternoon, and so I mean

649
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,039
this is we're seeing three a halbs. Even money, by

650
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:06,319
the way, in your defense, has happened about twenty five

651
00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:08,359
minutes ago, so when you last look before the show,

652
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,359
it was three. But yeah, about one thirty eastern south

653
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,200
Point and some other books went to three and a half.

654
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:16,680
So we're definitely seeing it now. Total has not moved

655
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,440
and it's hovering on that key number of forty one one. Yeah,

656
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,559
about a three to four percent chance of game lands

657
00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:24,799
exactly forty one points twenty one to twenty twenty four

658
00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:27,480
to seventeen thirty one ten there's so many margins that

659
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:30,079
get you there. I will say last night, when I

660
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:32,599
was watching the game, thought that New England would be

661
00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:34,640
at least a field goal favorite. So, you know, I

662
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,559
think two and a half was a bad opener. I

663
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:39,279
don't feel like Houston's necessarily a public team still. You know,

664
00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:42,359
the Texans have been a fade the public team for years,

665
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,720
and they've gotten good the last few seasons. New England's

666
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,559
still a big name franchise. And I also watched the

667
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:51,160
game last night was thinking, how could you not play

668
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,839
the under? I mean, we just saw them play a

669
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,440
good Chargers defense. Texans statistically are the best d in

670
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,359
the NFL this year points allowed, nan yards allowed, and

671
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,880
LA held the Patriot offense and check. You know, the

672
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,640
big knock on New England this year was that they

673
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,480
didn't play anybody, and when they did step up against

674
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,559
good defensive teams, they were held in check at times.

675
00:33:10,319 --> 00:33:11,960
With that said, though, you know, Joe, when you have

676
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,240
two teams coming off low scoring games, it seems a

677
00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:17,119
little too obvious, right, So yeah, we'll see the under.

678
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,960
It seems like the play and at forty one there

679
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,039
is probably some value DraftKings has a forty and a

680
00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:25,359
half already out there, but it's juice to the over.

681
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,920
Fan too has a forty one and a half Juice

682
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,160
to the under. Everybody else is a forty one. Yeah,

683
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:32,319
so you could definitely shop around right now in that total,

684
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:34,039
it's been moving a little bit depending on what book

685
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:34,519
you look at.

686
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I have my Odds Logic page open, Maryland.

687
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:41,640
I don't have any books that'd see three and a half.

688
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:44,759
I got all books that say three circa said three.

689
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,200
But everything is getting juiced right now here on that side.

690
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,440
Now if we do go I'm looking.

691
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: At Odds Logic. You don't have self point at three

692
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,440
half point?

693
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:56,799
Speaker 1: No, I don't have that as one of the books

694
00:33:56,799 --> 00:33:59,279
that's on my page that oh I got you.

695
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:01,759
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, that's right, and that's one of the more

696
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,799
square books. To put it nicely out there. In Vegas,

697
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:08,880
they kind of limited winners at times, so that's interesting

698
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,280
as well that it's going up there. We'll see where

699
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,840
the public comes in. You know, all more data on

700
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,639
that hitting towards the week, and I'm gonna do videos

701
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:18,360
for all these games on Thursday and Friday, so we'll see,

702
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:20,360
you know, we'll see if Houston becomes a public team

703
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,320
or not. They just didn't look very impressive last night,

704
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,960
so I'm just not so sure the public's gonna be

705
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:26,559
jumping on board with them this week.

706
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: Hey, I am showing fifty one percent of the ticket,

707
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,559
sixty three percent of the early money towards Houston. But

708
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,000
it's it's clear this might be one of those situations

709
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:40,000
where it might get split down the middle before it's

710
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,280
all said and done. But even all the books, the

711
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,960
Circus of the World, the even DraftKings, Bet MGM, superb

712
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,440
all are juiced big time here at minus three, So

713
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:57,079
that could be if you, I would say, if you

714
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,519
like New England, get the three, because it certainly seems

715
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:03,239
to be heading in that direction, doesn't it.

716
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: Dave, Yes, Yes, and three and a half flat at Southway.

717
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,360
But there are some other books that have minus three

718
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,480
and a half even so you're exactly right. It's being

719
00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:13,480
juiced on three juice the other way on three and

720
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:15,320
a half. You're not getting two and a half again,

721
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,199
that number's gone. I guess the only you know, little

722
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,119
point would be how much juice do you lay on three?

723
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:24,000
But yeah, minus three with New England, I'm pretty sure

724
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,840
it's gonna be the best number you get with the Patriots,

725
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:28,119
just depends on maybe how much juice you have to pay.

726
00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's that's gonna be an interesting one to

727
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,880
follow because it's still pretty new and early in the week.

728
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,760
We'll see what happens once the limits get jacked up there.

729
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,599
But we have seen a little bit of movement in

730
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:45,880
the total market with Chicago and the Rams as well. Merrill.

731
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,239
We're seeing forty nine and a half's now opened at

732
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,719
fifty one. It was kind of stagnant twenty four hours ago,

733
00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:56,480
but it appears we've got we've got some under money

734
00:35:57,079 --> 00:35:59,639
hitting the market with the Rams in Chicago, and I'm

735
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,519
that weather report gets a little bit closer. I'm sure

736
00:36:03,559 --> 00:36:06,000
that's gonna flucch Awight as well.

737
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Rams are a tricky team with totals

738
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,880
because they're as explosive offensively as anybody in the league,

739
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,239
but they're actually one of the best defenses. Also bears

740
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,760
good offense, not a good defense. And you know, I said,

741
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,679
Denver's kind of a phony number one seed. I think

742
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,559
it's because their offense is no good. Chicago, my opinion,

743
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:23,239
is a phony number two seed because I think their

744
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,079
defense is no good, so you could always, you know,

745
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:27,880
take some of that out of the equation by looking

746
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,440
at team totals Rams team totals twenty seven and a half,

747
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:34,199
Bears twenty two and a half. So you could just play,

748
00:36:34,199 --> 00:36:35,760
you know, if you like the over in the game,

749
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,639
just play the RAM team total over twenty seven and

750
00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:41,639
a half, because they do have a good defense that

751
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:44,119
could maybe hold Chicago and check. We saw Green Bay

752
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:46,320
hold them in check at times in the game a

753
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,239
few weeks ago, and even for the majority of the

754
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,519
game the other night. And let's not forget Jo. You know,

755
00:36:50,519 --> 00:36:53,679
we talked about first quarter unders, first half unders. Yeah,

756
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,639
those did extremely well this week, even though some of

757
00:36:55,639 --> 00:36:58,840
those games opened up in the second half. It's probably

758
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,760
another strategy of they'll need to work, especially on Saturday

759
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,840
when you have two teams at home that have been

760
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,280
laid off for a couple of weeks. You know, first

761
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,760
quarter under his first half hundreds if you like unders

762
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,280
and games, might be a better way to attack. In fact,

763
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,079
that New England game, let's look at what the first

764
00:37:14,119 --> 00:37:16,519
half under is. First half under there is twenty and

765
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:19,519
a half. It's kind of an ugly number. Yeah, and

766
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,280
then first first quarter under in that New England Houston game,

767
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,639
it's seven and a half juiced under, well seven over.

768
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,199
I mean, it just shows they've caught onto that concept.

769
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,519
We got nine and a half's under in both games

770
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:34,760
on Saturday. Every good concept. I have the odds makers

771
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,679
priced me up. They do it.

772
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, job, the market jumps all over it. But listen,

773
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,880
we told you yesterday it was ugly. I mean it

774
00:37:42,039 --> 00:37:44,559
was eighteen and a half nineteen I think in that

775
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,239
Pittsburgh and Us again, and it was sorry, it's uh.

776
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,960
I can't see us getting to twenty points in the

777
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,599
first half of that game, and they barely got to

778
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:58,239
nine last night, So that was that was a definitely

779
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,320
disgusting game last night. It looks like we've got some

780
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,719
bigger totals coming up this week, but those are the

781
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,639
big line moves early. But it's only Tuesday. Wait until

782
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:12,599
those limits start opening up and there's only four games

783
00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:15,239
on the board, which means there's gonna be a lot

784
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,639
more public money flowing in at some point here during

785
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:22,199
the week, and we'll get you covered there, all right. NBA,

786
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,880
merrill back at it here tonight, boyt. That was some

787
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:31,320
ugly games. Last night in the Association, I had Dallas

788
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,480
and I almost couldn't watch it without trying to throw

789
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:36,599
up here, But they ended up getting you done for

790
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,880
us last night. Nothing worse than betting bad teams and

791
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,599
hoping for good things. But we got a couple of

792
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:46,559
those games on the board here tonight. So talk to

793
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:49,039
me here, give us an idea of some of these

794
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:51,480
games here, and give us a breakdown on what you're

795
00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:52,400
looking at.

796
00:38:54,159 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 4: Gonna look at two late night NBA games for Tonite

797
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,840
Hawks Lakers at ten forty Eastern also Portland. Golden stated

798
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,679
the eleven pm Eastern. We're going late night to say

799
00:39:02,679 --> 00:39:05,239
the least here, and let's start with that Atlanta Lakers

800
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,360
game to ten forty eastern. Obviously some uncertainty with the

801
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,440
Hawks recent trades and whatnot. Porzingis has been ruled out

802
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,599
tonight with the achilles. Luke Canard is questionable to play.

803
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,119
But the big news here is that Doncic has on

804
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:20,159
the injury report and as of Tuesday afternoon, he is

805
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,079
questionable whether he's going to go tonight with the groin.

806
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:26,639
And that's why we see currently in this line is

807
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,480
Atlanta as a substantial road favorite here of a field

808
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,239
goal full field goal open minus one, it's now minus three.

809
00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:34,440
Totals dropped a little bit from two thirty three and

810
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,199
a half down to two thirty one and a half.

811
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,239
Just not sure if I trust the Hawks yet to

812
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,360
be fully focused and ready to roll. With that said, though,

813
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,280
they are playing good basketball, three straight wins and covers

814
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,079
their last three. They've gone five and two straight up

815
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,920
and going back further, they're now seven and two against

816
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,280
the spread their last nine. But if you look at

817
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,639
the totals in these games, they've been staying under the total.

818
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:58,000
Six of their last seven have gone under, and it's

819
00:39:58,039 --> 00:39:59,920
because their defense has started to show up here with

820
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:01,920
those three straight wins, it's been on the defensive side

821
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,519
of the ball. Lakers, meanwhile, zero and three straight up

822
00:40:04,519 --> 00:40:07,119
in ats their last three, maybe don't have dontic tonight.

823
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:09,559
I would lean under in this game here between the

824
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:11,760
Hawks and Lakers. It's dropped a little bit, but still

825
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,480
some value under two thirty one and a half in

826
00:40:14,519 --> 00:40:16,719
that game and then the late game at eleven PM

827
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,920
Eastern Portland and Golden State a similar situation here. Golden

828
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,079
State should be pretty focused after the loss in their

829
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:25,760
last game against Atlanta. That team the Hawks just beat

830
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,559
was Golden State. Warriors have still won three of their

831
00:40:28,639 --> 00:40:31,559
last four straight up, though defense has been suspect, though

832
00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:34,079
they've given up over fifty percent shooting in five of

833
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:36,840
their last seven games. But it might not matter tonight

834
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,239
because the Trailblazer is one of the worst offensive teams

835
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,760
in the league. They've shot forty three percent or worse

836
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:44,440
in three of their last five games, in five of

837
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,079
their last seven, and despite doing that, they have still

838
00:40:48,119 --> 00:40:50,119
won five of their last six games straight up and

839
00:40:50,119 --> 00:40:53,000
against the spread, a recent loss against New York. Not

840
00:40:53,039 --> 00:40:55,119
a believer in Portland, though this line's gone from nine

841
00:40:55,159 --> 00:40:56,239
and a half up to ten and a half. I

842
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,320
think they're a little bit of a phony team. Should

843
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,880
be a focused spot tonight for Golden State. I would

844
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,519
take a look at the Warriors and lay the ten

845
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:04,800
and a half in this one, so under Lakers Hawks

846
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:07,320
and a bounce backspot for Golden State minus the ten

847
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,239
and a half. Two late night games for Tuesday, and

848
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,760
don't forget it is five dollars Tuesday, I've got a

849
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,039
five dollar best bet in the NBA in a different game,

00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,320
great stop Meryll.

855
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,599
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some college basketball games here tonight.

856
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,320
We'll start with one of them right off the bat

857
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,159
that you don't often see, and that is fog Allen

858
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,840
and Kansas being at home and being a dog, Meryll,

859
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:50,800
and that never ever happens, but that hows when Iowa State,

860
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,440
I guess comes to town right now. But this is

861
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,280
a pretty big road test for Iowa State here to

862
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,719
go to fog Allen. You know, Peterson Weathery plays long

863
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,679
enough for or doesn't play long enough. It feels like

864
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,079
he's you know, he's playing long enough in big twelve

865
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,960
games to get his twenty some points and then all

866
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,079
of a sudden his legs can't go and he's on

867
00:42:12,119 --> 00:42:15,400
the bench when ice packs and everything else. So you

868
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,079
really got your moneys, weren't there, Bill self? My goodness?

869
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:23,199
But the question is do we trust in Iowa State team?

870
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:26,559
So win and win by you know, more than a

871
00:42:26,599 --> 00:42:28,719
bucket is what it looks like. Now, this was as

872
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,360
high as four and a half before we started to

873
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,239
see some buyback. I think it's three now in a

874
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,280
lot of spots in the market. But man, you don't

875
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,719
get to see Kansas as a home dog very often here.

876
00:42:42,039 --> 00:42:44,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is something to that, and obviously every team

877
00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:46,800
is different every season, but when you have a historically

878
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,320
strong program, historically strong court like that, it does catch

879
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,679
your attention. And we talked about the NFL playoffs. You know,

880
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,960
blindly playing home underdogs for over forty some years now

881
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,079
has been a seventy percent playing in the NFL postseason.

882
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:00,559
We saw the Panthers almost win out as a double

883
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:03,360
digit dog, you know. We saw the Bears went out

884
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,639
as well, So I do put some credence in that.

885
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:07,800
It's very difficult to say lay the points here with that.

886
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,480
Iwa State, even though they are the better team on

887
00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:12,840
paper this year also I was State sixteen, and oh

888
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,199
straight up, you know, we saw Michigan just lose recently.

889
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,320
I think Michigan's the best team in college basketball. When

890
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,719
you're undefeated and running like that, you almost start playing

891
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,519
tight at some point, Whereas I think Kansas has less

892
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:24,000
to lose here. They're off to a one and two

893
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:26,920
start in the conference. They're a home dog tonight, so

894
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,039
we'll dig into the matchup a little bit here. I

895
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:31,239
still have Kansas as a top twenty program, so it's

896
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,000
not like there are a much weaker squad this year.

897
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,119
There's still, you know, probably a four or five seed

898
00:43:35,199 --> 00:43:36,880
in the NCAA Tournament. I was State, it's a one

899
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,239
or two seed. So this isn't a complete mismatch. And

900
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,840
then if you look at the pace of play, both

901
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,800
teams like an upper tempo pace of play. What it's

902
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,519
going to come down to, I think is really if

903
00:43:46,559 --> 00:43:48,559
i Was State hits here at three pointers, the second

904
00:43:48,639 --> 00:43:51,360
best three point shooting team in the country, yeah, forty

905
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,960
one percent. Kansas is the sixth best three point defense

906
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,880
in the country twenty eight percent. On the road, it's

907
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,719
tougher to shoot and make your shots. Hard to predict

908
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,199
three pointers, just like it's hard to predict turnovers and football,

909
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:05,960
and that's usually what decides both sports. But I get

910
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,239
a sneaking suspicion tonight, Joe that Iowa State might not

911
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,920
be quite as strong from three, and that could be

912
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,000
the difference in this game. So yeah, I think Kansas

913
00:44:13,039 --> 00:44:14,800
definitely could pull the upset which is hard to believe.

914
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,440
We're saying it's an upset they beat I was stayed

915
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:16,840
at home.

916
00:44:17,159 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well again, they're not going to shoot forty one

917
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,480
percent the entire season Iowa State from three, So this

918
00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:24,639
could be this could be a little bit of a

919
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:28,519
regression coming here tonight at fog Allen. That place will

920
00:44:28,559 --> 00:44:31,840
be rocking. Also, I can't figure out. One of the

921
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,840
other flips that we've seen here today is with my

922
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,960
boys in Stillwater in Oklahoma State and they opened up

923
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,880
as a two point dog with Baylor come into town.

924
00:44:41,599 --> 00:44:45,400
But Baylor sucks. I don't care who they have in

925
00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:48,960
the portal that came there at twenty eight years old

926
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,039
NBA player doesn't make a difference. I mean, they have

927
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:57,360
dropped three straight. Houston destroyed them seventy seven to fifty five.

928
00:44:57,519 --> 00:45:00,519
They were two and a half point home dog there

929
00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:03,599
and it wasn't even close. Oklahoma State. It's eleven and

930
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,119
zero back in gallagha Iva there. Now, they did cover

931
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,360
against Iowa State even though they got destroyed eighty three

932
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,800
to seventy one, but they were eighteen and a half

933
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,360
point road dogs in that one. The market is flipped it.

934
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,400
The market does not trust Baylor in this spot, so

935
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,599
they went from a two point favorite to now a

936
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,280
dog here. You know, Baylor zero and two in Big

937
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,960
Twelve road games so far. Oklahoma State much better at

938
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,360
home than they have been on the road. And I

939
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,920
gotta kind of agree with the market. I can't trust

940
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,480
Baylor offensively right now.

941
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I rate these two teams almost dead equal, Joe

942
00:45:40,519 --> 00:45:43,800
am I they're both barely top fifty teams. Like you said,

943
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,719
both off t the go. Oklahoma start off to the

944
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:49,039
Baylor off to the OZH and three starting conference. I

945
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:52,280
really don't think there's much of a difference between these squads.

946
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,760
So I think that's one of the reasons we've seen

947
00:45:54,559 --> 00:45:56,400
some money coming to Oklahoma State. Is I just don't

948
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:57,840
as you said, I don't think Baylor should have been

949
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,280
a road favor. Minus two especially was a stranger. We're

950
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,440
a thought in this game, even at the Pickham price range. Now,

951
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,360
I think there's some value with Oklahoma State fifth fastest

952
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,519
tempo in the country. They like to get up and down.

953
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,079
Baylor likes that play at style of play as well,

954
00:46:11,199 --> 00:46:13,719
so I don't think either team will be unhappy with it.

955
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,239
Both teams are very good offensive teams. Both offenses hold

956
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,760
the edge total, though has actually dropped one sixty eight

957
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,119
and a half down to one sixty six. We always

958
00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:25,119
talk about how the highest totals go over, lowest totals

959
00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:27,320
go under under. I think there's some value with the

960
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,239
over in this game, now over one sixty six and

961
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,400
at a Pickham range, I probably lean in Oklahoma State

962
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,079
is I favored them buy a couple of baskets here,

963
00:46:34,079 --> 00:46:35,760
but the total might be the best way to attack this.

964
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,880
Two fast paced teams and two offenses that hold the edge.

965
00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think that this should be a go.

966
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,199
And there's a lot of those across the board here

967
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,519
tonight in college basketball. It is a huge sleigh tier.

968
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:56,199
But we also have, of course, our mail bag that's

969
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,239
coming up here where some of the viewer question and

970
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:06,320
comments there from yesterday's show will highlight. But first, like promised,

971
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:10,480
we have a very special visitor, and I mean special

972
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,119
because the Pres is special. But Pres is here. He's

973
00:47:14,159 --> 00:47:17,679
got a great opportunity for you guys tonight. Not to mention,

974
00:47:18,119 --> 00:47:21,679
he's got an NHL rundown he's going to go through. So, Pres,

975
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:23,760
what do you got going for us here today?

976
00:47:24,039 --> 00:47:27,639
Speaker 5: Joe and Airy thanks for doing this. It's time for

977
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:30,639
your NHL rundown, everybody, and I came on today's show

978
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:33,119
even though I made Day two of the poker tournament

979
00:47:33,159 --> 00:47:35,480
and starting in an hour. I came on because I

980
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:37,280
have one of those must bet plays.

981
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:37,639
Speaker 1: Today.

982
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,519
Speaker 5: It's a customer appreciation Tuesday. It's five dollars and I

983
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,239
have one of my probably the single most consistently profitable

984
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,960
bet I ever make in my life, and it is today,

985
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:50,719
and it is.

986
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,159
Speaker 1: Very very rare.

987
00:47:52,199 --> 00:47:54,679
Speaker 3: We only had one of these recently and we won it.

988
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 5: Bottom line, guys, as I got a four percent NHL

989
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,400
play tonight. To give you perspective, this is a money

990
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,960
line bet. I am on an eight and two run

991
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,559
in these I am forty one and seventeen in these plays.

992
00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:14,039
That's sixty seven percent since twenty twenty two.

993
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:15,519
Speaker 1: That is correct.

994
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 5: Since the beginning of the twenty twenty two season. I

995
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,719
am forty one and seventeen in these plays. This is

996
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,159

code inside there for you. Okay, guys, we've got our

1001
00:48:43,079 --> 00:48:47,400
NHL rundown coming your way. Let's get straight into it.

1002
00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:50,199
A whole lot of games tonight. We're going to start

1003
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,960
right off the bat with Vancouver playing Ottawa. I like

1004
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,800
the under in this game. It is six. Vancouver struggling

1005
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,599
to score. We saw then put up a nothing against

1006
00:48:59,679 --> 00:49:05,400
the Leafs. Take under the total of six. Washington playing Montreal,

1007
00:49:05,519 --> 00:49:08,719
all I like this game to go under the total

1008
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:12,719
of six as well. I also lean on Washington, but

1009
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,960
I don't like the line. Tampa Bay playing Pittsburgh. I

1010
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:18,880
like over the total of six here, guys, keep taking,

1011
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:23,159
keep taking Pittsburgh games over. Keep looking to take Tampa

1012
00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:25,719
Bay games over. You should win on a regular basis.

1013
00:49:26,039 --> 00:49:30,039
Calgary playing Columbus. I look at Columbus here at minus

1014
00:49:30,119 --> 00:49:35,400
one forty against Calgary. Detroit hosting on the road playing

1015
00:49:35,559 --> 00:49:38,719
Boston tonight. I like under the total. You can get

1016
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,159
a six and a half there, guys, so look to

1017
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:46,920
take that. Carolina playing Saint Louis. Look, Carolina, this team

1018
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,679
is going over, and Saint Louis they're struggling. I like

1019
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,400
Carolina here, but I like them in regulation. I don't

1020
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,880
want to lay minus one sixty five, especially with their

1021
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:02,119
goaltending problems. Take Carolina in regulation. Take Edmonton and Nashville

1022
00:50:02,199 --> 00:50:04,840
to go over six and a half, and take Edmonton again.

1023
00:50:05,559 --> 00:50:10,480
I gave it out on my Instagram channel yesterday. Take

1024
00:50:10,599 --> 00:50:14,280
Edmonton again, New York Islanders playing Winnipeg. I like the

1025
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,159
under in this game, and I like the under in

1026
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,360
the Toronto Utah game. A great ever by Toronto last night.

1027
00:50:21,559 --> 00:50:24,159
Bad spot with Toronto as well. I do like Utah

1028
00:50:24,159 --> 00:50:27,559
and I take them in regulation, and I like Dallas

1029
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:32,760
over Anaheim. Guys, thanks for listening, and please, if you

1030
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,719
don't mind, five dollars head over grab my four percent

1031
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,599
NHL money line bet. This is as big a play

1032
00:50:40,119 --> 00:50:42,880
as I give out, and they're very very rare.

1033
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. Back to Joe and Steve. Always good

1034
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,440
to see the press. Probably have to see him again tomorrow,

1035
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:55,639
buts hopefully he gets through with that poker tournament wins

1036
00:50:55,639 --> 00:50:59,400
a few bucks. Either way, we're gonna call Shenanigans on

1037
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,639
them when again. Back here tomorrow, Meryl, let's take a

1038
00:51:02,639 --> 00:51:04,920
look at the mail bag here, Steve. A lot of

1039
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,719
folks love to see you here on the show at

1040
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:12,639
the Best Betting Show ever, which is always great. Somebody

1041
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,119
what I think it was ghost Win Sports wants to

1042
00:51:16,159 --> 00:51:20,400
know how much longer can the Bears continue to be

1043
00:51:20,519 --> 00:51:24,480
the cardiac kids and win games like they have done.

1044
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,039
They can they run the table? Art said the Bears

1045
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:33,639
would be devastating to the books in the future markets.

1046
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,199
If the Bears actually get to the Super Bowl and

1047
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,679
win it, that would be a That would be a

1048
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,000
bad situation for the book. But I don't know that.

1049
00:51:43,159 --> 00:51:45,679
You feel like the rucket the luck is running out

1050
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:46,800
here with the Bears. Meryl.

1051
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna be an underdog in every remaining game.

1052
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,039
They'd have to win three more straight games, and underdogs,

1053
00:51:53,039 --> 00:51:55,159
they'd have to win four straight as a dog. Now,

1054
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,760
it's not a coincidence that they make comebacks. They remind

1055
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,800
me so much of not my Washington Commanders last season.

1056
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,760
Young quarterback come from behind, wins questionable defense, and we

1057
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,800
saw the Commanders come back down to earth. It was

1058
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,599
my strongest season totals win play probably in several years,

1059
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:13,480
under nine and a half. We've cashed it before their

1060
00:52:13,519 --> 00:52:15,960
bye week, and by the way, Dangles getting hurt it

1061
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,159
was factored into that handicap because I thought he was

1062
00:52:18,199 --> 00:52:20,239
a ticking time bomb running the ball as much as

1063
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,239
he does. Caleb Williams, bigger, stronger, doesn't run as much,

1064
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,679
so that's not as likely. But you still win with

1065
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,079
defense with championships. Now, I think Denver's a little phony

1066
00:52:28,119 --> 00:52:30,679
as well, because they don't have enough offense. And as

1067
00:52:30,679 --> 00:52:33,639
I pointed out yesterday, teams that win close games, margin

1068
00:52:33,679 --> 00:52:36,880
of victory matters, and that's how the points spread is said.

1069
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,440
It's margin of victory and schedule strength. The Bears, the Broncos,

1070
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,000
teams like that that keep having narrow wins, The Commanders

1071
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:45,920
last year, the Chiefs last year fit that category, and

1072
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,239
we saw how they regress this year. So yeah, I

1073
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,039
don't think the Bears run the table here, and they're

1074
00:52:50,039 --> 00:52:53,159
definitely a regression candidate even next season, maybe if they

1075
00:52:53,159 --> 00:52:55,400
don't shore up that defense a little bit in the offseason.

1076
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: I agree there. Also, we've got Dennis Carter, ju says,

1077
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,840
you know, John Elway used to be called the comeback kid. Meryll,

1078
00:53:04,519 --> 00:53:06,960
He says, he guess is Josh Allen has got to

1079
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,519
be the new comeback kid. Listen, I could say Caleb

1080
00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:12,239
Williams is the new comeback kid. Would have spenny games

1081
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,199
as they have done, but I think they've won in

1082
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,639
the you know, in spite of him. But Josh Allen,

1083
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,360
Now that's somebody that has not just been doing it

1084
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,800
one season. He's all he does in December and January,

1085
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,639
Steve is that when the game and the teams in

1086
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:31,599
the competition is better, all he does is win games.

1087
00:53:31,639 --> 00:53:34,760
I mean, it's even against this defense of Denver, who,

1088
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,639
by the way, over the last couple of weeks of

1089
00:53:36,679 --> 00:53:40,239
the season, is not the same suffocating defense that it

1090
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,800
was earlier in the year. But he plays his best

1091
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,039
against better defenses. He always has. That's just that's you know,

1092
00:53:48,079 --> 00:53:52,360
you don't come across that. But comeback, kid, I'm sure

1093
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,079
he'd rather not have to comfort behind in the fourth

1094
00:53:55,159 --> 00:53:57,920
quarter of the second half, merrill of every game. But

1095
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,719
it does feel a lot very But you know, John

1096
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,800
Elway asked what we're getting from man.

1097
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that because that last question

1098
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,079
I was about to say. You know another team that

1099
00:54:08,119 --> 00:54:10,880
comes to mind with all these comebacks and questionable defenses

1100
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,079
the Buffalo Bills. Their run d gives up just like Chicago.

1101
00:54:14,119 --> 00:54:16,320
Both give up over five yards of carry that's half

1102
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,719
a first down every time the team opponent runs the ball,

1103
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,239
you can't. That's not sustainable normally. The difference, though, is

1104
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,239
it's not a fluke. They come back because Caleboys was

1105
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,480
playing great, Jayden Daniels played great last year and Josh

1106
00:54:26,519 --> 00:54:28,639
Allen's better than both of them. And what is it

1107
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:31,559
I think now thirty six come from behind wins in

1108
00:54:31,599 --> 00:54:33,840
the fourth quarter or whatever that stat was they showed

1109
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,000
last week it was thirty five as he was driving

1110
00:54:36,039 --> 00:54:38,719
down the field. I don't remember the exact qualifier. I

1111
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,920
think maybe it was fourth quarter comeback in his career.

1112
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,840
So now it's thirty six. So yeah, there's something to that,

1113
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,920
right and John Elloy there was, and they're both really good.

1114
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,519
They're MVP caliber quarterbacks. And I will say, you know,

1115
00:54:48,519 --> 00:54:52,280
we talked about this yesterday, like if experience matters, it's

1116
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,480
like the Rams, the forty nine ers and maybe the Bills, Theos,

1117
00:54:55,559 --> 00:54:57,199
like the only three teams left in the playoffs that

1118
00:54:57,199 --> 00:54:59,960
you could say have any kind of big game experience,

1119
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,280
whether in the conference title game or even the Super Bowl.

1120
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,639
And there again you start looking at the quarterbacks for

1121
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,559
those teams. Matthew Stafford's the favorite to be MVP. Drake

1122
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:11,159
May is the second favorite, but he doesn't have the experience.

1123
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,599
But Josh Allen is up there as well. He has

1124
00:55:13,639 --> 00:55:16,000
the experience. And I'll even throw rock Party. I don't

1125
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,840
know if he has all the experience, but he's been

1126
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,400
clutched now, been there for a few years. And was

1127
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,159
he in the super Bowl? He made the super Bowl

1128
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:23,719
that first year, right, yeah, but he.

1129
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: Didn't play because that's where they had to go, like uh.

1130
00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 4: He when they remember his rookie year. If they made

1131
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:30,360
it or not.

1132
00:55:32,079 --> 00:55:33,559
Speaker 1: To the NFC Championship.

1133
00:55:33,599 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 4: I believe they lost it home. I think to they

1134
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,440
maybe the Eagles or somebody.

1135
00:55:37,519 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Josh Johnson, yeah yeah, yeah.

1136
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 4: So we have two and a half qualifiers Stafford and

1137
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,119
Allen and then maybe Party. And I will say this

1138
00:55:48,119 --> 00:55:50,519
too about the Niners. You look up Mac Jones's numbers,

1139
00:55:50,519 --> 00:55:52,079
they were five and three with them. I think they're

1140
00:55:52,119 --> 00:55:54,199
like eight or nine and one now with Party this year.

1141
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,280
Whatever the record is, Mac Jones is like yards per

1142
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,400
pass QB rating, We're almost identical in the games he played.

1143
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,960
So could also make an argument maybe the San franc

1144
00:56:03,039 --> 00:56:05,760
system is just good and you know, Shanahan and whatnot.

1145
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:08,760
But yeah, if you really break it down, simplistically, it's

1146
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,000
gonna be Rams Bills, right, but I still don't trust

1147
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
that Buffalo defense. But that's another reason I'm not big

1148
00:56:13,039 --> 00:56:15,039
on Chicago. They'd have to get through both the Rams

1149
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,639
and Seattle, who I think are probably the two most

1150
00:56:17,639 --> 00:56:18,760
complete teams right now.

1151
00:56:19,079 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he actually did. He actually made it to

1152
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:24,760
the super Bowl. They lost to the Chiefs in twenty

1153
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,360
twenty four. You're right, twenty three, twenty four, right, and

1154
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,880
five and two in the playoffs, so.

1155
00:56:32,519 --> 00:56:34,559
Speaker 4: You know, Okay, Yeah, I thought he maybe made his

1156
00:56:34,639 --> 00:56:36,440
rookie season because that's where he came out of nowhere,

1157
00:56:36,519 --> 00:56:38,320
started the second half of the season and had the

1158
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,719
monster run. Okay, so I throw him in the mix.

1159
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,239
He's got super Bowl experience, yep. I'd say, if you

1160
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,960
can win the conference championship, you have experienced at that point.

1161
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,519
Speaker 1: We got there, I agree. Yeah, And now you know,

1162
00:56:48,559 --> 00:56:51,440
and they've pulled off some upsets his rookie year twenty

1163
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,280
twenty two. They ended up beating the Seahawks in the

1164
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,679
wild card. They beat the Cowboys in the Divisional, but

1165
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,840
they lost to the Eagles. That's when they had the

1166
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,159
go I think wildcat or whatever the hell that was.

1167
00:57:02,199 --> 00:57:04,840
It was Actually he was araz It's been that long.

1168
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 4: I thought two rookie Seaton, Yeah, yep, man ten years old.

1169
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,199
I could tell you every score of every Super Bowl

1170
00:57:11,199 --> 00:57:13,159
for the first twenty years, and I can't even tell

1171
00:57:13,159 --> 00:57:15,239
you played in it two years ago. I didn't remember.

1172
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,239
I knew they were in it recently. And that might

1173
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,320
start irrelevant hewers out there, but it's just like you're

1174
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,679
talking about twenty games every day and every sport. It

1175
00:57:22,719 --> 00:57:25,119
just starts to yep, overload.

1176
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: First rookie quarterback since Russell Wilson in twenty twelve to

1177
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,800
win a playoff game. That's who he is, Mister irrelevant

1178
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,880
kind of and nobody puts him in that category. It's

1179
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,000
so funny nobody looks at him that. But I mean,

1180
00:57:39,039 --> 00:57:41,880
the guy is certainly when it comes to experience, you

1181
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,800
have to take what he brings to the table pretty well.

1182
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,360
And again to go on the road and do it

1183
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,599
was pretty down impressive even against you know that Philadelphia offense.

1184
00:57:51,679 --> 00:57:54,840
But we'll the luck run out against Seattle this week.

1185
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,320
I don't know, are we really banking on Sam Donald

1186
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:02,960
if you had, I mean, just from a quarterback perspective,

1187
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,360
who's got more experience? Brock Perty or Sam Donald in

1188
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:06,800
his spot.

1189
00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:09,119
Speaker 4: Great, great point. I was just going to say there

1190
00:58:09,159 --> 00:58:11,480
was a name I did not mention during that whole conversation.

1191
00:58:11,559 --> 00:58:13,239
If you were calling it was on purpose. I did

1192
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:15,360
not mention Sam Donald. He does not quit. He does

1193
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,280
not fit any of those qualifiers. Now Drake May doesn't either,

1194
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,039
but May's just like the second of the MVP odds

1195
00:58:21,079 --> 00:58:22,639
right now. So I think he's had a slightly better

1196
00:58:22,639 --> 00:58:25,840
season than Donald. Yep, strall, you know Strald that has

1197
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,719
had some wins in the playoffs. But if you really

1198
00:58:28,719 --> 00:58:31,599
look at it, it's an interesting system to use as well.

1199
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:33,760
In the NFL. During the regular season, we talked about

1200
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,280
Kansas being a rare home dog.

1201
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 1: Yep.

1202
00:58:36,199 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 4: Getting the better quarterback as an underdog price in the

1203
00:58:38,599 --> 00:58:41,920
NFL is probably. I haven't back tested that. Probably should.

1204
00:58:42,239 --> 00:58:44,199
You'd have to put some quantifiers on it. You'd almost

1205
00:58:44,239 --> 00:58:46,800
have to do it by hand, because you know, I

1206
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,880
don't know you quantify who was the better quarterback maybe

1207
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,320
career QB rating or something, or for that season. You

1208
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,000
could do something like that. But the eyeball test, I

1209
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,599
think we would all agree that party has had the

1210
00:58:56,599 --> 00:58:59,639
better career consistently than Donald getting him as a dog

1211
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:03,519
of a yep. And we also have the quick revenge spot,

1212
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:07,559
you know, Bowl rematches. The team that lost the regular

1213
00:59:07,559 --> 00:59:09,519
season game is five and one. The only one that

1214
00:59:09,559 --> 00:59:11,519
buck that trim was all miss beating Tulane is like

1215
00:59:11,519 --> 00:59:14,920
a three touchdown favorite, and that's a quick rematch there

1216
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,280
too with Seattle San fran YEP. I'll be interesting to

1217
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,280
see what the public lines up on that one.

1218
00:59:20,119 --> 00:59:24,119
Speaker 1: Five and two in the postseason with Super Bowl experience,

1219
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:27,880
you know, let me know when Sam Donald gets those

1220
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,639
you know, five wins in the postseason, Let's see how

1221
00:59:30,679 --> 00:59:33,400
that rolls out there. But that's why I got to

1222
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:37,280
play the game, and they'll do that on Sunday. Final game,

1223
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,320
I believe, of the two on Saturday. San Francisco Seattle

1224
00:59:42,239 --> 00:59:45,159
is the late game on Saturday, Buffalo and Denver is

1225
00:59:45,199 --> 00:59:48,880
the four to thirty game, and then Houston and New

1226
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,880
England kicks it off on Sunday at three. So that

1227
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,039
final game is going to be Rams versus Chicago this week,

1228
00:59:56,079 --> 01:00:00,119
and that'll be Sunday night at six thirty. So a

1229
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,159
lot can happen between now and then, but we will

1230
01:00:03,159 --> 01:00:06,360
certainly keep you posting art the season all week long.

1231
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,719
Steve Merrill always a pleasure man. It's been a lot

1232
01:00:09,719 --> 01:00:12,039
of fun having you on the show. And you and

1233
01:00:12,119 --> 01:00:17,679
I both press well Thursday Thursday exact press confirmed. Yes

1234
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:18,199
he's flying.

1235
01:00:18,239 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 4: Apparently he told me today I'm doing to day and Thursday,

1236
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,119
so you have him tomorrow. Yes, he's your responsibility, and

1237
01:00:25,119 --> 01:00:28,440
then Thursday were okay, and then Friday he get him again.

1238
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,679
I would assume yes.

1239
01:00:30,159 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Really think this would be great if we can only

1240
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,559
get Brian Power in, that would be really a homecoming.

1241
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,679
