1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Fad in the public has been fantastic this year in

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,759
the NFL, hitting over sixty percent, and the public is

3
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:08,960
active again here in week fourteen. The six most public

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,320
games for the NFL this Sunday, coming up right here,

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,320
right now, HISUS Steve merrillwager Talk dot Com, right back

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,000
here on wager Talk TV. And as I mentioned, fad

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,920
in the public's worth great all season long, hitting over

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,760
sixty percent one again last week three and one against

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,199
the spread.

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,199
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is that.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Last week all four public teams won outright, but only

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,559
one of the four covered the spread. And that's exactly

13
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:33,960
why long term fad in the public is a money maker,

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,840
and especially later in the season. We see this phenomenon

15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,240
happen year after year as the points spreads become more inflated,

16
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:43,600
especially against bad teams, and while teams might win, they

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,359
no longer cover, and that was the case last week.

18
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:47,359
We'll see if it holds up again this week. I'm

19
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:49,439
going to give you the four official public plays and

20
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:51,880
then two additional leans as well that just missed out

21
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:54,640
just a bit outside some bonus coverage for you. And oh,

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,119
by the way, red Flag Alert Public Underdog on the

23
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,399
board this Sunday as well, one of the biggest public

24
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:01,640
dogs I've seen all season.

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,039
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a moment.

26
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: Let's start, though, with some of the public favorites on

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,920
the early card. We'll go down in schedule order, as

28
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,799
we always do, and the first one's an ugly one

29
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:14,599
one o'clock Eastern Cleveland and Tennessee. The Cleveland Browns making

30
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,079
the public list for maybe the first time this season.

31
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,760
I'd have to check the notes. I know we've played

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,079
against them several times, but the public's played against them

33
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:24,680
rather But what they've done even more often is play

34
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:27,400
against the Tennessee Titans. And that's exactly why Cleveland is

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,239
a public play this week. You know, as I always say,

36
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,959
it's not necessarily because someone's getting one sided actions, just

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,760
because nobody wants to play the other team. Tennessee's a

38
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,400
pure play against and I don't disagree. One of the

39
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,799
filters I like to use is not playing bad teams,

40
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:43,000
and that's a pretty good filter with the Titans this season.

41
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,640
They are just one and eleven straight up now, and

42
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,400
they've only covered five times all year. But what's interesting,

43
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,680
they've covered three of their last four games against the spread.

44
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:55,159
Despite losing all four straight up. So here we go again.

45
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,959
Late in the season. The Titans continue to lose straight

46
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,840
up zero to four, but three and one against the spread.

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,760
And if I had to play this game, I'd probably

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,359
lean towards the Titans, not in a hurry to lay

49
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,439
points with the Cleveland Browns team that's only won three

50
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,719
games all season. Look aheadline this summer was Cleveland minus

51
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:13,840
one and a half. I always point that out because

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,919
it's interesting to see how teams have performed outperformed three

53
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,919
to nine. Browns now laying a field goal more than

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,280
the summer line. I don't think that necessarily makes any sense.

55
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,039
And one other thing we got to talk about in

56
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,520
this game. The lowest total we're gonna probably see all

57
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,800
season thirty four, and there's really not any weather issues.

58
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,719
This is just because these are two terrible offensive teams.

59
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:35,240
I always say the lowest totals go under, the highest

60
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,560
totals go over. Thursday Night Football Lions and Cowboys was

61
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,319
a shootout. That total was around fifty four, and it

62
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,080
was a shootout as expected. This total is low, However,

63
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,080
there's not much value left if you just do some

64
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,199
basic math the Titans games. This year have averaged about

65
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:52,280
forty one and a half against the schedule that's averaged

66
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:53,000
forty four and a half.

67
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: That's three points below average.

68
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,199
Speaker 1: Cleveland games have averaged only about thirty eight and a

69
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,039
half against the schedule that's averaged about forty six and

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,800
a half, so that's eight unders. So combined these two

71
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,919
teams are about eleven points below average. But the average

72
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,759
schedule play has been about forty five forty six. That

73
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,639
gets you down to thirty four to thirty five. So

74
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,719
the total is pretty much where it should be. Two

75
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,319
bad offenses, two bad passing teams. I would lean towards

76
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:16,960
a dog in what should be a low scoring game

77
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,680
Tennessee plus four. Fade the public in that one at

78
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,439
one eastern. All right, Another game on the one go oh,

79
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,520
by the way, cam Ward against Shadar Sanders.

80
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: Both have been not good this season.

81
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,719
Speaker 1: One of the point that as well, too young quote

82
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,960
unquote superstar quarterbacks have obviously not been getting it done.

83
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:32,719
Speaker 2: All right.

84
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: The next game is also at one o'clock eastern. This

85
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:36,879
is the other home favorite that the public is using

86
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:38,520
the public's on the road teams and all the other

87
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,360
games coming up, but the two home teams are using

88
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,800
in Cleveland and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers minus eight and

89
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,599
a half against New Orleans. Similar situation here. The public

90
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:50,400
continues to fade New Orleans each and every week, and

91
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:52,599
for the most part, with some success. Thanks for having

92
00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:55,800
a terrible season entering here just two and ten straight up,

93
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:58,159
but despite being just one and two straight up their

94
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:00,800
last three, they have covered two of those last three games.

95
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,280
And they were one of those public play against teams

96
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,680
last week that lost but covered, and that was the

97
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:07,759
public was on the Dolphins minus of five five and

98
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,400
a half. Well, the Saints only lost by four points

99
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,439
and Tampa's not exactly lightening it up one in three

100
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:16,040
straight up oh and four against the spread, and Tampa

101
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
another one of those teams last week that the public

102
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:21,000
was on that won straight up by three but failed

103
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,839
to cover as the four point favored against Arizona. So

104
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,240
here again, if you're looking to fade the public, hold

105
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,399
your nose. Take the adjusted line value here with the

106
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:31,680
New Orleans Saints. And speaking of adjusted line value, this

107
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,360
line is actually where it was supposed to be this year.

108
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:35,759
The summer line was nine and a half. Now it's

109
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,480
just eight and a half. Saints were expected to be bad,

110
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:40,879
and they've been bad. Tampa was expected to be a

111
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:43,399
little bit better than they've been. As I mentioned, they've

112
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:45,240
gone just one and three straight up their last four

113
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040
oh and four against the spread. I'm not in a

114
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,000
hurry to lay eight and a half points of the

115
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,519
Bucks another spot. I can't really make a case for

116
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,680
the Saints, but I do think it could be the

117
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,959
contrarian call here and fad in the public. By the way,

118
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,120
if you like Tampa I would much rather play them

119
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,240
on a teaser and get them down to mind two

120
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,160
and a half. I think that makes some sense in

121
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:05,040
this one, as they are likely to probably win the game,

122
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,040
but once again the inflated line they might not cover.

123
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,199
If you like Tampa, I would play the teaser option

124
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,040
at minus.

125
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,399
Speaker 2: Two and a half.

126
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Otherwise I would rather have the Saints with the eight

127
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,720
and a half points spread at one eastern.

128
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: All right, we'll keep it rolling here.

129
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,079
Speaker 1: Another public play on the four o'clock eastern card, and

130
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,000
this is one of those road teams is the Denver

131
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,759
Broncos minus seven and a half against the Las Vegas

132
00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:29,639
Raiders on the road and Broncos nine straight wins. Of course,

133
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,800
they made the video. Last week another one of those

134
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:34,959
teams that won the game straight up but failed to cover,

135
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:37,240
and that was the Denver Broncos last week on Sunday

136
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,759
Night Football, and as you recall, also gave you the

137
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:41,759
Sunday Night videos I do every week. And by the way,

138
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,360
I've got the Texans Chiefs video free here on the channel.

139
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,199
Also your Monday Night video between the Eagles and Chargers.

140
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,800
Be sure to check those out as well. Here I

141
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,279
always give you the Thursday Night Prime games. Gave you

142
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:54,160
the Lions this week now eleven and three in your

143
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,560
Prime games this year. Sunday Monday Night Football free every week.

144
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,759
Gave you the Commanders last week as a free play

145
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,279
in that video. Also recommended them here in the fade

146
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,199
the public video and guess what, they became a four

147
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,399
percent strong best bet from my clients as well at

148
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,680
wager talk dot com. Everybody loved the Broncos. But one

149
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,199
thing I pointed out is that Denver, while they're winning,

150
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:16,839
they're not winning by margin. Nine straight wins, but it

151
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:20,319
was another win by less than a field goal, basically

152
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,639
in overtime by a single point. In fact, seven of

153
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:27,959
the Broncos last eight wins have come by four points

154
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,079
or less, and six of the last seven have come

155
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,360
by three points or less. So yes, Denver's winning, but

156
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:36,759
they're not winning by margin. So here again the seven

157
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,759
and a half. I could see a situation where Denver

158
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,079
wins this game, but they don't cover. Just like last week,

159
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:43,480
I would lean towards the Raiders plus the seven and

160
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,879
a half. Six and seven are both extremely key numbers,

161
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,839
and you have them both working for you here in

162
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:50,800
this game. And by the way, the look aheadline in

163
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:53,560
the summer was Denver minus three and a half. Now

164
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,360
it's seven and a half. Broncos have won nine straight,

165
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,920
but they've only won one of those last eight games

166
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:01,199
by more than four points. I could see this being

167
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,920
another one of those close wins. They have been a

168
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,360
great favorite straight up and not against the spread here

169
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,360
the past few months. Raiders meanwhile, bad offensive team, no

170
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,360
question about it. And if they get behind in this game,

171
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,319
they're in trouble because they don't throw the ball well.

172
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,480
But Denver's not a real explosive offense. On the season,

173
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,759
the Broncos are averages five point five yards per play

174
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:21,879
against teams that allow five point eight. Raiders have actually

175
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,160
been a decent defensive team this year, given up five

176
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:27,639
point four against teams that allow or that average five

177
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,480
point six, should be another one of those low scoring games.

178
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,720
If you look at the total forty and a half

179
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,800
forty one, a very key number, by the way, about

180
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,519
a three to four percent chance game, LANs On exactly

181
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,560
forty one forty and a half is indicating it should

182
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,040
be a low scoring game. And there again, I think

183
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,319
that gives the underdog Raiders or a chance to stay

184
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,040
within the number and keep it close at plus seven

185
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,639
and a half. If you're looking to fade the public

186
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,519
in that one, that's at for Eastern. All right, let's

187
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:54,360
get to that public dog. I got two additional games

188
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:56,079
that are just a bit outside from making the cut.

189
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,800
I'll give you those bonus games in a moment, but

190
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,120
let's get to the public dog of the week. And

191
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,879
this is one of the biggest public dogs as far

192
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,279
as points spread we're going to see all season, and

193
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,000
that's the Chicago Bears. The dub Bears plus six and

194
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,600
a half at four to twenty five Eastern. This is

195
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,079
a late astern national TV game for most markets at

196
00:08:14,079 --> 00:08:15,000
four to twenty five Easter.

197
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:15,839
Speaker 2: Look, I get it.

198
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,959
Speaker 1: On the surface, this line does seem high, especially considering

199
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,240
the Bears have been a red hot team over the

200
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,439
past couple months. After starting the season zero to two

201
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,160
straight up and against the spread, they've gone nine to

202
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:28,959
one straight up, eight and two against the number their

203
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,439
last ten games, the most profitable team in the NFL

204
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,600
since mid September, and really the best team at nine

205
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,320
and one straight up, and we see this happen. It's

206
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,080
you know, I talk a lot about the financial markets

207
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,559
and the correlations between the betting markets. When a stock bottoms, know,

208
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,559
we never try to catch a falling knife. I always

209
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,360
talk about that, but when it finally has that bottoming process,

210
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,039
there's often tremendous upside in the near future. And over

211
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:54,200
the last decade, the Chicago Bears have probably been the

212
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,440
worst point spread team in the NFL year after year.

213
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:59,279
Always expected that breakout and never happened. Well, I think

214
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,960
it's happening, and it often takes the markets the betting

215
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,399
public a little time to adjust, and that's why we've

216
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:06,519
seen on this nine to one straight up run, they

217
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,519
also go eight and two against the spread, including several

218
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,799
outright underdog wins. We saw the opposite with the Patriots

219
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:14,679
a few years ago when they got really bad fast.

220
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,279
The markets couldn't catch up to how bad they've gotten

221
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:18,960
when they were probably the best points spread team in

222
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,879
the league for over a decade. So yes, it's risky

223
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:25,039
to fade Chicago in this situation, catching almost a full touchdown.

224
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,200
But I love fading public dogs, especially more than a

225
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,000
field goal. You know, sometimes a one or two point

226
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,320
public dog is dicey because it's really not much of

227
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,559
an underdog. When you get to three and a half

228
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,960
or more, and we only have a few of these

229
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,519
each year, it's usually a very strong fade play. And

230
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,799
this is one of my favorite filters, probably my favorite

231
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:44,279
filter of all with this public data. So yes, I

232
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:46,279
like the Packers in this game. I would look to

233
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:48,279
fade the Bears and be very careful. You don't have

234
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,919
to play the Packers. I just would not be in

235
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,519
Chicago in this one, as they are a public dog

236
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,919
at plus six and a half in long term well

237
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,759
over sixty percent. Fading these type of plays on the blind,

238
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,759
of course, I use this as a filter. I always

239
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:01,519
dig and I do think there's some other reasons you

240
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:04,200
can make a case for green Bay. Yes, they're coming

241
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,240
off the big win against Detroit. You could say this

242
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,879
is a flat spot, but that was the Thursday Thanksgiving games.

243
00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:12,000
They've had nine days or yeah, about nine days I

244
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,440
believe what Thursday to Sunday, nine days of rest and

245
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,879
recoup time to get ready for this game ten days later.

246
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,320
And also they're in good current form three straight wins

247
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:25,120
and they've covered two of the last three with a push. Meanwhile,

248
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,320
while the Bears have been red hot, this is a

249
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,240
tough spot here, coming off the win against Minnesota. Against

250
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,399
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia on Friday, they got a little bit

251
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:35,440
of a mini by all, so they've had eight days off,

252
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:37,200
but that was a big win on the road as

253
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,960
a touchdown dog against the defending Super Bowl champs, and

254
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
now taking a huge step up in class I think

255
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,440
against a team that's in much better current form. Philadelphia

256
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,399
is struggling offensively and they could not take advantage of

257
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,279
a bad Bears defense. Green Bay has been mediocre at

258
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:53,440
times offensively this year, but they are an above average

259
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480
passing team, and the Bears have both a bad run

260
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,879
D giving up over five yards of carry and a

261
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:00,679
bad pass D giving up over seven yards of pass

262
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,480
on the season. Chicago's allowing six point three yards per

263
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:06,720
play against teams at average just five point five, green

264
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:09,360
Bays averaging five point seven. I think the Packers can

265
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,279
put some points up in this game, and I would

266
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,519
fade the public in this one, fade that public dog

267
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,840
with the Green Bay Packers Chicago once again, the public

268
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,519
play in this one at plus six and a half.

269
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:20,759
That's a four to twenty five Eastern little national TV

270
00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:24,919
action for you on the Lake card on Sunday. Hey,

271
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,080
comment below, what are your thoughts on those four public

272
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,480
plays sides? Do you agree with them or you're fading them?

273
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,120
You know, we don't just blindly fade the public who

274
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:32,720
use this as a filter, but I think all four

275
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:36,039
do present opportunities to fade. This week in the NFL

276
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:39,360
and once again overall this season hitting over sixty one percent,

277
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,519
actually sixty one and a half percent to be exact,

278
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:44,000
when you include the bonus opinions. I'm gonna give you

279
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,159
two more bonus opinions right now, two more public sides

280
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:49,879
that were just a bit outside from making the official cut.

281
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,840
These are still games you might want to take a

282
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,120
look at fading. Well, not necessarily. I actually agree with

283
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,759
one of those. I'll save that for the end, but

284
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,200
let's start at about one o'clock Eastern's game Seattle Seahawks. The

285
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,960
points against Atlanta. Seattle's currently minus seven in some spots,

286
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,960
six and a half in others six and a half

287
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,679
to seven, but it is public I expected to go

288
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:10,559
high and by kickoff the more sevens out there. If

289
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,240
you like the Seahawks, grab the six and a half now,

290
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,679
if you'd like, Atlanta should be definitely getting a plus seven.

291
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: And I think this is.

292
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: Another situation we could maybe fade the big favorite here.

293
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720
Would not be surpriseding the Falcons keep this within the number.

294
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,120
Seahawks lost their opener against Seattle to start the season,

295
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,080
and they have quietly won what is a nine of

296
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,440
their next eleven as they stand nine and three in

297
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,120
the season, so what nine and two their last eleven

298
00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:34,799
after that opening season loss. And they've also go nine

299
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,919
to two against the spread since that opening season loss. So,

300
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:40,360
just like the Bears, Seahawks have been the other most

301
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,799
profitable team in the NFL since early September. Not the

302
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,639
case for Atlanta. Falcons showed some life early in the

303
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,919
season with that three and two straight up in ATS

304
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,919
start and they've taken it on the chin since losing

305
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,480
six of their last seven, just one and six straight

306
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,720
up their last seven, and they've only covered two of

307
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:58,360
those games with a push. This is what we talk

308
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:00,679
about a contrarian play here. I think we're starting to

309
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,440
get some line value look ahead line this summer. The

310
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,360
Falcons were going to be a home favorite in this game.

311
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,799
Just a few months ago. Atlanta would have been about

312
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:09,759
a one and a half point favorite. Now they're a

313
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:12,159
six and a half to seven point home dog, and

314
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,679
the recent results the last two months couldn't be any

315
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,840
more extreme. Falcons are still capable at times this year,

316
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,679
They've been kind of a bipolar team, but they do

317
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,080
have some decent performances. They beat the Bills, for example.

318
00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,320
They also beat Minnesota twenty two to six in that

319
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:28,240
Sunday night game in Week two, in which they had

320
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,039
more rushing yards and allowed in the total game. So

321
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,440
they have shown the opportunity to compete. And while I

322
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,399
think Seattle is a good team this season, the Seahawks

323
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:38,360
might be in a little bit of a letdown spot

324
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,639
here in this one. After the big win against the

325
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,399
Vikings last week at twenty six nothing home shutout win.

326
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,360
Now traveling cross country and playing the early start at

327
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,759
one Eastern, which means it's a ten am start for

328
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:52,519
the Seahawks. Remember when the Rams went to Jacksonville a

329
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,000
few weeks ago and lost by almost thirty. Well, this

330
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:57,159
situation kind of reminds me of that same setup. I

331
00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:59,799
think the Falcons are capable of enough team to hang

332
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,120
or maybe even pull the upset. I would fade the

333
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:03,960
public with this one and take a look at Atlanta

334
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,919
plus the six and a half to plus seven at

335
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:08,440
one Eastern. All right, Hey, look, we're fading the public

336
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,240
in most games this week, but there is one game

337
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,720
in which I agree with the public, and that's the

338
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:14,480
last one that just missed the cut. The La Rams

339
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:16,840
minus eight and a half, and Rams are coming off

340
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:18,600
a real bad effort last week, so I'm not in

341
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:20,080
a hurry to fade them in this one. I still

342
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,799
think they're one of the best teams in the NFL.

343
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,559
Had their six game win streak snap, they'd gone six

344
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,559
and no straight up, five and one against the spread,

345
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,440
and then a little bit of a clunker against the

346
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,919
Panthers last week on the road. Is a ten point favorite,

347
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,679
lost outright thirty one to twenty eight, but as is

348
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,080
often the case, turnovers made that score a little bit misleading,

349
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,919
as they still had over four hundred and twenty total

350
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,279
yards of offense. The difference was three turnovers to none,

351
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,720
and they still almost won the game outright, as long

352
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,440
as they keep the turnovers and check, which I think

353
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,840
they will. By the way, they'd only had two total

354
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,679
turnovers total in their previous six games before last week.

355
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,799
That was that one outlier that we see every once

356
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:57,960
in a while with good teams. Rams are still a

357
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
solid team on both sides of the ball, defensive team,

358
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720
and we just can't trust the Cardinals. This is a

359
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:05,759
team that after a two and oh start to the season,

360
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:09,600
has now lost nine of their last ten games, going

361
00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:12,559
one to nine straight up their last ten. They have

362
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,759
covered a few of those, they've been feisty. So once again,

363
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:17,440
maybe a spot here where the Rams win by seven

364
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,639
they don't cover. I'm not trying to take a team

365
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:21,039
I don't think can win the game. I look for

366
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:23,000
the Rams to get back on track. If you're going

367
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,360
to play it, I would lay it. I would not

368
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,879
look to fade the public with the La Rams minus

369
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:27,480
eight and a half.

370
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:28,559
Speaker 2: All right, there you go.

371
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Those are the six public plays this week, well really

372
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080
four official public plays as I said, Cleveland Browns minus four,

373
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,759
Tampa Bay Buccaneers minus the eight and a half. Those

374
00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:39,559
both are home favorites at one Eastern, then on the

375
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Lake card. The other two official public plays this week

376
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Denver Broncos minus seven and a half and also the

377
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,919
Chicago Bears plus six and a half. Is that public

378
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,919
dog of the week. Two additional games that were just

379
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480
a bit outside for making the cut. Additional public leans

380
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:55,759
on the Seattle Seahawks minus six and a half to

381
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,279
minus seven and the one I actually agree with, the

382
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,559
La Rams minus the eight and a half that's on

383
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,279
the Lake card at four twenty five eastern.

384
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,519
Speaker 2: Whoo, there you go.

385
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: Lots of information. Always try to jam pack it for

386
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:08,120
you know. There are thirteen games, well actually twelve games

387
