Speaker 1: Welcome to Wage to Talk Today, the gold standard of
sports betting shows, where we talked the talk and walk
the walk despite our Christmas hangovers. It's Football Friday. We
got a massive slate. We got bowl games, We've got
NFL matchups. Dan is here with us. We may or
may not have Yanni on the show, but we do
definitely have Teddy covers. Who is gonna break down the
pop Tart Bowl, the infamous pop Tarts Bowl. We got
to sell me. We got Ravens and Packers. Marco's going
to join us. We've got the sauce for the week.
He's gonna break down a couple of games. Then Dan
and I are going to do our super contest pick five. Dan,
I'm gonna bring you in here real quick. I did
not do any of my pick five Super Contest plays yesterday,
and I'm glad I didn't. I would have lost.
Speaker 2: I would not your god, I didn't use any of them.
But I lean towards the Vikings kind of just that
stink around the Lions. But the thing for me is
if people were laying this this crazy spread with the Broncos,
like have you been paying attention? Like look at the
teams that they have barely beaten. And the Broncos are
very good. Don't get me wrong, there's a reason why
they were those big favorites, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But as far as putting that on your card, I think.
Speaker 2: That was a pretty tough look, you know, because this
is just a team that hasn't won with regularity as
far as margin is concerned, and you're asking them to
do it in a Christmas game. When you got to
question the minds even a team who's motivated like them
to be pushing for that one seed. You're still playing
a football game on Christmas against the division rival, and
you're asking to cover thirteen thirteen and a half points.
Speaker 3: That was when I was talking with Karen.
Speaker 2: I filled in on puck time and that was one
of his lone losers, and I was like, Karen, just
confer with me, buddy. I would have told you, you don't.
You don't lay points like that on Christmas. On Christmas
is when you when you're you're giving. You're not taking
on risky. Now the season of given. If you did that,
you did well because dogs dogs were barking.
Speaker 1: Yes, I actually had a thought, I'm like, I wonder
if like I wonder if Sean Payton has the chance
to blow out the Chiefs and won't he won't do
that to Andy Reid at the end of the season.
Speaker 3: I think if they could have, they would have.
Speaker 2: Honestly, does Peyton really strike you as a guy who's
gonna be like, I'm gonna pull off my horses, Mister
bounty Gate's gonna pull off his horses. I think if
they could have, they would have rolled up on that team,
and I think that's probably why people probably were eyeing
backing them. Honestly, I don't I don't think there's much
because they're a little brother that's been beat up on
for how many years?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So you finally have a chance to punch your big brother,
you're gonna take that. It's just they don't have the offense.
Speaker 4: For it, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, Dan's gonna come back in here
a little bit later. We're gonna do our super Contest picks.
Let's bring on Teddy Covers. Teddy, I always touch on
NBA here a little bit before we get started it.
You and I have talked about this Oklahoma City Thunder
and the Wins record, and boy, they have a kryptonite,
don't they the San Antonio's. I guess all you have
to do is have Victor Webbin Yama and if the
selling Castle and Harper and Deer and I guess that's
all you have to have chinks in the armor here
or bumping the road for OKAC.
Speaker 5: So just quick thought on what happened in the NFL yesterday.
We're not gonna see this happen again in a long time.
There were three third string quarterbacks that got to start yesterday,
and the three third stringers went three and oats, which again,
when you talk about the pantheon of the NFL, the
third string quarterbacks are the ones who really can't play.
And we saw that from Max Prosber. You know, Oliduken
wasn't exactly light enough the scoreboard. And I'll give Josh
Johnson credit Washington, But yeah, the third stringers three and
oh at ats and third string qbs. I've learned over
the years the hard way. I don't want money on
third string quarterbacks very often. But if you played them yesterday,
you got a nice Christmas surprise. When it comes to
Oklahoma City and San Antonio, my clients and I like
this matchup a lot, because we talked about it last
week where okc's power rating is literally as high as
any team that I've ever had in my twenty eight
years making power ratings in Vegas.
Speaker 4: So okac's power rated through the roof.
Speaker 5: And they clearly have a team that, you know, San
Antonio matches up with them three ways.
Speaker 4: San Antonio has the I call it the youthful energy.
Speaker 5: You know, they've got the same energy level that Okay
they said, not a veteran team loaded with guys that
are just trying to make it through until they can
start picking up the play in April.
Speaker 4: This is a youthful energy team.
Speaker 5: And the Spurs have it. The Spurs have the depth
that Okayse has. Okay See is an extraordinarily deep team.
San Antonio goes twelve deep. So the energy, the useful energy,
the depth, and they have the defense.
Speaker 4: You know, the.
Speaker 5: Spurs can defend the thunder without fouling over and over again.
There aren't many teams that seem to be able to
do that. So it's been easy for my clients and
I when it comes to these matchups. I've been playing
San Antonio, We've been cashing winning bets. We had another
one yesterday. You know, revenge, no revenge. Spurs right now
are playing at that level. And you asked me about
a month ago, who's Okayc's toughest tast And I'm like,
the stan Antonio is a team to watch out for.
Speaker 4: And I continue to believe that now.
Speaker 5: It doesn't mean that if San Antonio and Oklahoma City
meeting the playoffs before the finals, that could mean someone
else comes out of the West. But the Spurs are
exactly the team that could give OKAC problems. We've seen
it now three times in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: I love Wemby coming off the bench. I think it's
I think it's a fascinating twist. I know they're not
gonna keep doing it, but there's something, there's something really
amazing about watching the starters and then all of a
sudden Wemby comes in off the bench. I will tell you, Teddy. So,
when the Spurs played the Thunder on the twenty third,
which was my birthday, I had that game on, But
before that, I had a player prop in the Wizard's
Hornets game. Just having watching those two teams, You're like, Wow,
this Wizard's and Hornets team, They're like one hundred years
away from the level of the under it and the.
Speaker 3: Spurs was like, is this the same league?
Speaker 1: Are all four of these teams in the same league?
How is this possible? So it was very very interesting. So, yeah,
we got some Spurs fans here in the chat. Spurs
will win the Western Conference. It's really interesting, really interesting.
All right, Teddy, let's get into some football games here.
We're gonna start with the Pop Tarts Bowl. Georgia Tech BYU.
We got BYU. I would say they probably have the
stability edge. Georgia Tech has some unknowns. That's probably why
we're getting this minus four over under fifty six big
number here. How do you break this game down?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is a game where my initial lean
and my current opinion do not match, So in those
situations from a client standpoint, I don't play it. Because
my initial leen on this game was towards the Georgia
Tech Yellow jackets plus the points. And of course, looking
at the odds logic live on screen right now, seeing
b YU mostly minus fours out there, there are some
three and a halfs, there are some foreur and a half,
there are a prominent four and a halfs popped up
at Circa. They took YU money, which is interesting because
there are three and a halfs out there, and someone
at Circa just bet the four up to four and
a half. Not necessarily the sharpest move that you can find,
yet Circa most assuredly one of the sharpest books you
can find. So we're seeing three and a half, four,
four and a half for the number four, the prevailing
number total sitting at fifty six for this ballgame. And
my initial lean towards Georgia Tech had everything to do
with the quarterback position in general in ball games. I
want the senior starters. I want the old guys. I
want the Haines King. I don't want the freshman and
the bear Bachmeiers the world and Haines King has been
such a leader for Georgia Tech throughout his career there.
The team buys into what he's selling. He's even an
extraordinary playmaker, obviously a dual threat QB. He's a guy
as an hunderdog that you take seriously. That being said,
that was my first lean was we want Haines King
plus points. And then you start reading everything and from
interest standpoint, everything that could go right has gone right
for BYU this Bowl season. Basically, nobody's opting out. All
their key players are in. They kept their head coach
and his staff. Satake was, you know, supposedly flirting with
the Penn's State job. I think Penn State was flirting
with the TAKI. I'm not sure he was flirting the
other way around. But coach, players, everybody's in for BYU.
And we think about BYU season, all right, and Georgia Tech,
by the way, there, they've got a new OC. They're
replacing Buster Faulkner. He took the Florida offered the winter
of your job, so it's going to be Chris Wankie
uh calling plays in the Pop Tarts dole in the
Pop Tarts Bowl. And they suffered some personnel losses on
the off side of the football, which is certainly a concern.
BYU is a team in general, they're going to have
the advantage in the trenches. BYU kids, many of them
go on Mormon missions. They come back, they're a little
bit older, they're a little bit stronger, and when BYU
is battling teams in the trenches, that size and experience
tends to stand out. Now, the two losses this year
they both came to the same opponent, Texas Tech. And
what's its strength In Texas Tech. They're extraordinarily strong in
the trenches, off of the line, defensive line. That's where
the Red Raiders were so dominant this season, and that's.
Speaker 4: The only games that BYU lost.
Speaker 5: I'm not convinced that Georgia Tech's gonna be able to
battle and match by you strengthen the trenches, which has
me leaning here towards the favorite minus three and a half.
Speaker 4: Like I said, still available.
Speaker 5: We're both here in Las Vegas and throughout the United
States and the global community. So yeah, it's favorite or
passed for me in this one, which is a flip
for my initial opinion.
Speaker 4: Initially I was looking at the.
Speaker 1: Dog moved to NFL Ravens Packers checked the injury report
this morning. Lamar Jackson is doubtful.
Speaker 3: Is that a bad thing?
Speaker 1: Like this recent version of Lamar Jackson. I just think
he's clearly injured. I'm wondering if this is not the
worst thing in the world for this Ravens team. We
got Green Bay minus four. You're dealing with injury to
their quarterback, but we got a very low total over
under forty and a half, wondering what you think about
Lamar probably being out for this one.
Speaker 5: So obviously Jackson hasn't practiced all week and downgraded a doubtful.
We're talking about a two time MVP. Baltimore's record with
Lamar Jackson seventy nine and thirty five, including the playoffs
at sixty nine percent winning percentage. They averaged close to
twenty eight points per game in Lamar Jackson era with
Jackson behind center. Without him, they averaged sixteen points a game,
all right, So we're talking about nearly a twelve points
per game differential. And you look at the straight up
record with the backup and I just lost it right here,
five and twelve.
Speaker 4: Including the postseason without Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 5: So clearly there's a drop off from the good Lamar
Jackson to the backups that baughmore has been running out
there when Jackson's been hurt. That being said, Andy Lang,
you are one hundred percent correct in that Lamar Jackson
hasn't been close to being healthy, all right. He's been
as banged up as any quarterback in this league. He
was on the injury report for three different injuries three
different weeks. He's missing practice every week. He isn't able
to run the football, and when Lamar Jackson is a
pocket passer, the Ravens are an elite and we've seen
that pretty clearly one in five ats their last six
ball games. Here, it looks like Ty Hunley's going to
get the start. I'm Hunley saying all the right things,
doing all the right things, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 4: But it's not like Hunley.
Speaker 5: And know there's a reason that Humley's a backup quarterback
and has been his career as a backup quarterback. He's
a long way from being elite. And Baltimore right now
in the trenches is not a team that is dominating
by any stretch of the imagination. Again, they've been getting
killed against his spread. The only points by victory in
their last six games was that twenty four to nothing
shoutout against the against the Bengals, a game where the
Ravens defense showed up when we look at the Green
Bay side of the equation, though they've got QB issues
as well, and significant quarterback issues. Again, we're recording this
on Friday, the game plays tomorrow. We haven't seen love
in practice, you know, love to practice but limited. He's
got concussion issues, you know, and the backup Malik Willis
has injury issues as well. Both those guys listened as
questionable for Green Bay. So it's not like we know
the Packers are gonna have a great quarterback in this ballgame.
Speaker 4: By the way, their third.
Speaker 5: Stringer, Clayton Tune, he didn't even play the preseason here.
He played the preseason in Arizona in a different offense
and got signed at the end after Sean Clifford looks
so bad, they're like, we can't have Clifford as our
third stringer. Let's sign this guy. So it's not like
Tune has any experience running this offense. You know, he's
never runner, He's never taken a snap from the starting center.
So you know, we talk about Okay, I came back
the most disappointing team in the NFL this year in Baltimore.
Baltimore is the single biggest disappointment. Who's banged up or
I can back a team that again. They just clinched
their playoff spot yesterday when the Lions lost Green Bays
in all right, and they could have their third string
QB as well. So for me, we're not playing inside. Here,
we're looking at the total. We're looking at two offenses
that I expect to be struggling. We're looking at two
defenses that have been solid all season, two defenses that
are playoff caliber.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's a low total. Forty still too high.
Forty and a.
Speaker 5: Halfs are out there under the number four Packers and Ravens.
I'm not expecting a touchdown fest at Lambeau on Saturday night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great call. Hard to see these offenses
putting up some big numbers. So Teddy covers, how was
your Christmas? By the way, what are you doing Christmas?
Speaker 4: And we went to Korean barbecue last night?
Speaker 1: Perfect, Wen, it's a perfect Christmas.
Speaker 5: We're gonna watched a little bit of I didn't even
watch that much football.
Speaker 4: I had NBA. I was watching NBA boy in the NFL.
There wasn't a lot too be excited about the NFL.
Speaker 5: So I watched a bunch of basketball yesterday and then
went out there and I went out Familia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Netflix and Amazon that did not work out well
for them to have the third street quarterbacks in those games.
That's a lot of money for some bad football. So
all right, where you do sell me and just been
but tell everyone what you have up for wage to
talk for this weekend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's been a pretty good run down the
stretch here. The bull season has gotten off to a
great start. One hundred percent so far this Bowl season
five and ohero with the college playoff balls dating back
to last Bowl season. So Bulls has gone really well.
NBA has gone really well of late, seven to one
the last eight. NFL's in good current forum right now.
Forget any plays. I'm not gonna hype any plays.
Speaker 4: Get a package. Guys got up oarver with this. We
got this Christmas package, don't we.
Speaker 5: That's that's as good a deal as you can find.
What's the promo code Christmas twenty five.
Speaker 4: I think it is.
Speaker 3: XMUS two five XMUS.
Speaker 5: Yeah, x miss two five is a great deal over
the Christmas holidays. You're going to get twenty five off
everything and anything again x miss two five at checkout site.
Speaker 4: Why promo use it for me? You can use it
for any buddy.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: But like this ten day pass is a good deal
right now. Ten days for nine and nine bucks. That's
less than ten dollars a day and get you through
all the holidays, most of the bulls to be honest
in the next ten days, obviously the NFL for the
next two weekends. That's a good package to get the
ten day package. We get it right now nine to
nine bucks and use that XMUS two to five at checkout.
Speaker 4: Take an additional twenty five percent off. That, my friends,
is a good.
Speaker 1: Deal, smoking deal. Now it's time for the segment that
everybody wants and everybody needs. It's sell me. Before we
do this, though, Dan, we have to be very clear
on how you guys can win, because apparently nobody got
the memo last time.
Speaker 2: Take it down for talk very slowly here and break
it down how people can win a free three day
flex path.
Speaker 3: These are all the only instructions you have to follow.
Speaker 1: Andy, Teddy and I are going to break down a
game that Dan is going to randomly pick in the
comment section after the show. You pick which one of
us you agree with, Andy or Teddy. All you need
to type is the name of the handicapper that you
agree with and your wager talk name. That's it, no explanation,
no no description, just the name of the handi kapper
that you agree with and your wager talk user name Teddy.
Last week the winner was literally the only person that
put their wage talk user name in. That's why they run,
because they were the only smart more trying to give
away stuff here, we're trying to give away. So all right, Dan,
explain how selomy works and then give us the game
and the teams.
Speaker 3: We look forward to this every week.
Speaker 2: These two guys they break down sides blindly in the
sell me segment. That's right, we now have a sounder
for the selling segment. How about that, gentlemen, production value
through the roof here. But basically, I pick a game.
I give these guys a side. They don't know which
which game they're handicapping, they don't know which team they're handicapping,
and then they make a case for it right here,
right now, These aren't client plays for these guys. They
are advocating a side blindly here, and you comment with
who you agree with and your wager Talk username, and
you're entered into win a three three day flex pass.
My reputation precedes me, guys, because Leno already knows the
disgusting games on the board is what I typically I Raiders.
Speaker 3: Giants was in the running. I want to hear some
thoughts on this game. Guys.
Speaker 2: I'm really intrigued by the Texans taking on the Chargers
this one. You know you got two's out there, one
and a half. This is essentially a pick the winner
type game. And these are two playoff teams, two teams
surging in the AFC playoff hunt. So I figured a
little Christmas present for the folks. Let's not go dumpster diving.
Let's talk of marquee matchup. Teddy already gave you a
play on one of the Saturday games here Baltimore and
Green Bay. The other one is Houston and the LA Chargers. Andy,
you're gonna be assigned this home favorite. You're gonna let
us know why the Chargers are going to be covering
at home against the Houston Texans. But Teddy decide that
I kind of think you might be getting a little
discount here with Houston off of that ugly win against
the Raiders. Maybe this line dropping a little bit because
of the fact they struggled against a division sharing team
with the LA Chargers in the Raiders last week. So
Houston Texans, La Chargers, Teddy, sell me on this dog, Buddy, Oh,
sell you on Houston I want you to sell me
on Houston.
Speaker 4: Oh that's easy, okay, And really this is when we
think about what has happened with the Charge.
Speaker 5: Charge have been on a remarkable run. What have we
got for LA? They've won now seven straight ball games?
Speaker 4: All right, I'm sorry, that's Houston.
Speaker 5: Sorry, the Chargers have on Fourth Street and seven of
their last eight ball games.
Speaker 4: But the one area that we've seen consistent struggles obviously
for the Chargers, they've got offensive line issues, all right,
and they've been able to overcome that with the fact that, ay,
their defense is played great and b they've been able
to get the ball out of Philip Rivers hands very quickly. Well,
what does Houston do as well as any team in
the league. First, they blow up the line of scrimmage,
all right. That Texans DL is no joke. I would
expect them to own the line of scrimmage against LA.
But that's not enough, all right. You can't just blow
up lunch shop. You also have to be able to
stop those quick dink dunks out of the hand of
Justin Herbert.
Speaker 5: And boy that Texans have the cornerbacks to do it.
You know, they're still very much playing for a Division title.
And I think that in a situation like this, where
I'm confident that Houston's defense can stop offense, this.
Speaker 4: Might well be a wrong team favorite scenario.
Speaker 2: Texans easy choice, Wow, Andy, a WTF special. You don't
have a choice but to not agree, because I want
you breaking down the Chargers here.
Speaker 3: Sell me on that NFL side, Andy.
Speaker 1: Christmas Sales and CJ Stroud two things that are very limited.
All Right, you got CJ. Stroud? Who do we watch
him struggle against this Raiders team? This guy is inconsistent.
He does not have a three hundred yard game passing
yet this year. And you say, well it was the Raiders.
He didn't pass for very many yards. That means they
must have rushed the ball. Well, yeah, three point two
yards per carry against the Raiders, a team that is
benching brock Bauers and is throwing in the towel on
this season. The Texans do have an elite defense. Do
they have an elite quarterback? I can't really make the case.
Do they have an elite coach? I certainly can't make
the case for that. Meanwhile, I've got a Chargers team
that dominated this same Raider team coming out of the
bye week, and then they beat the two teams that
were in the Super Bowl last year. Then they go
on the road, they dominate Dallas. They put up huge numbers. Uh,
this is a Texans team that, when it comes down
to it, the offense just isn't going to be keep
up keeping up with the Chargers. The Chargers didn't have
to do a whole lot offensively last week. Herbert is
feeling a lot more comfortable with the club or whatever
he has on his hand. We've got Amari and Hampton back.
I get the much better offense, I get the much
better coach, and I get the home team coming off
of a really, really big win. Meanwhile the Texans coming
off of a not so impressive win. Give me the
better quarterback, give me the better offense, give me the
better coach, Chargers and the cover.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just to be I think I might have
said Philip.
Speaker 5: Did I say Philip Rivers was.
Speaker 3: For the Chargers?
Speaker 4: It was many years. It's justin.
Speaker 5: Herbert now apologized if I got that wrong. But I
know in the chat they were making fun of you,
So I think I might have might.
Speaker 2: Say, who would have thought that in twenty twenty five
that Philip Rivers is playing for any football team, Teddy,
so the day after Christmas, we'll give you a pass there,
but let us know if you want to win a
three three day flex pass here, guys, comment below Andy
and your Way to Talk user name if you think
the Houston Texans or the Los Angeles Chargers are going
to cover, And comment below if you think the Houston
Texans will cover with Teddy and your Way to Talk username,
and you're entered in. Has to be active the video
goes live. Comment below, folks, and you'll be entered in.
I always love that I get guys. I will say
one thing about that gross thirty nine and a half
point total. This might be a first team to seventeen,
first team to fourteen kind of game. We could have
a little bit of a slobber knocker here. That total
is ugly, folks. Teddy always a pleasure man. Hope you
had a great holiday and you know we'll see you
next week. Appreciate it, buddy, cheers.
Speaker 4: Look forward to it, guys. Good luck this weekend, and
Merry Christmas everybody, and to.
Speaker 2: You Teddy and to you. Yeah, and I love that time.
I had to mix it up because you know we
have Marco waiting here in the win.
Speaker 3: I was, I was.
Speaker 2: I wanted to have a time when Marco didn't come
on and be like, Dan, you are one sick bastard.
Speaker 3: I am, but maybe for other reasons this time.
Speaker 1: So all right, So here's here's the thing, Memphis money.
You gotta wait till the show's over. You gotta put
it in the comments section. You did do it right,
that's what it should look like. But do it after
the show. Yes, exactly, so after the show in the
comments section. So we're gonna get to Marco here real quick, Dan,
let me do a quick steamer port. Since we didn't
have Yanni, it looks like we're not gonna have them today,
so I can go over some lines that have moved in,
some big moves. College football will start there today. Money
has come in on New Mexico, so closer to kick off,
it looks like if you want to take New Mexico,
take them now. If you want to take Minnesota, just
wait a little bit. We have big money coming in
on Florida International that has dipped below the key number
of seven, So if you like UTSA, you can get
them minus six and a half games tomorrow The biggest
move by far was Army. Obviously, that whole situation is bizarre,
but basically Army is facing Yukon and they are big favorites.
If you want to take Army, I'd take them sooner
rather than later. Money has come in a little bit
on Clemson that is still below three, but my guess
is once those threes pop up, there will be buy
back on Penn State. So you heard Georgia Tech and
by you already got broken down. Let's take a look
at the NFL lines. Money. The line has moved on
Green Bay, but I would wait if you're gonna make
a bit on that, just wait until you get official
quarterback news for coming out of Green Bay. Baltimore. It
looks like Lamar is going to be out, and then yeah,
Houston Chargers. That is just dancing around between a pick.
And it looks like there are some minus twos in there,
so some of these books may jump to two and
a half, but I doubt we see a three on
that one. Money has come in on Cincinnati that has
moved over the key number of seven and a half.
It looks like some books are starting to drop down
to seven, so we're getting buy back on Arizona. That's
one of the most terrifying phrases I've used all week.
Buy back on the Arizona Cardinals. Here's another scary one.
Money's coming in on Cleveland. There's there's the second most
terrifying phrase I've heard all week. Money is coming in
on Tampa Bay. If you want to get Tampa Bay,
grab him now because there are six and a half
popping up and seven's will surely be there to come.
In New England still below fourteen thirteen and a half's
are out there against the hapless Jets, but that would
be one. If you want to get two touchdowns, you're
gonna have to grab them now because that'll be fourteen
on kickoff.
Speaker 2: So yes, over thirteen hundred people watching here live. One
thing I would like to mention as that was the
steam Report. While Yanni is not with us, he's getting
a Friday off here folks working hard. But I would
be remiss if we didn't mention that this coming Sunday
is it was brought to you by Yanni. Even though
it was not Yanny, it was Andy the Greek with
ste bet with a's in the steam room. Essentially what
the steam room is is on Sunday mornings, you know,

in Marco.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a segue. You don't hear off in Markt.
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 6: Belated Happy birthday, Andy, And you got two things before
we get started. First of all, Dan, you are still
a sick bastard, because if there was ever a week
that we needed garbage, I wanted to hear them break
down Raiders and the Giants why neither one should win
that game because they both have two wins and they're
vying for the number one playoffter and you drop the ball.
I am absolutely disappointed in you. And you know it's
a day after Christmas, and if it wasn't, if it
was the day before Christmas, you would have gotten a
lump of coal from I'm telling you that right now.
Speaker 3: I don't pick dog shit, and I still get reamed,
this is, this is, this is, I.
Speaker 6: Can't wait, this is the week you're supposed to have it.
When if we had two teams two and thirteen trying
not to win a game, it's a very fair question.
Speaker 3: You can probably count on one hand.
Speaker 6: And Katie, I just wanted to jump in when you
did the great breakdown of the Andy the Greek Report,
I wanted to explain one of those line moves. What
it's about that Cleveland line move against Pittsburgh dropping from
four to four to three and a half to three.
That's really not money coming in. What it was is
the books protecting themselves because once you had the word
that Lamar Jackson's not gonna play for Baltimore on Saturday,
that makes Baltimore's chances of winning on Saturday a little tougher.
And if Baltimore does lose on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Cleveland
game becomes meaningless as Pittsburgh clinches the division before they
take the field on Saturday. So that's the reason from
the four to three. Not exactly money, but people that
were getting head of the line move while they could
still get it, but the books wanted to protect themselves
because that line will drop even further if Baltimore does
lose on Saturday.
Speaker 1: It makes sense. I still think Baltimore may be better
off with Huntley rather than this injured.
Speaker 6: I agree, I agree. I think they're they're actually andy,
you know, they're both the same type of quarterback style wise. Obviously,
when Lamar Jackson's healthy, he's a much better quarterback. But
the problem is Lamar Jackson's always hurt. In Lamar Jackson,
we're hearing some other things coming out of Baltimore, you know,
the stories about I just think they're gonna play harder
for Huntley than they are gonna play for Lamar Jackson.
In my opinion, I hate to say that, but I
think it's gonna be an interesting off season because I
think the way the contract's written, he's gonna be responsible
for like twenty four percent of the payroll the cap
hit next year on this swing year of the contract.
That's gonna be kind of tough to to, you know,
if you eat that and try to build the rest
of the team around him. And that's why we're seeing
this team year by year getting thinner and thinner. They
got too much money in the wrong places.
Speaker 1: It's amat and when they signed these big quarterback contracts,
the team just these rookie deals are are are like
gold in the NFL. So let's go to the Texas Bowl.
Our resident LSU fan in the chat r J has
strong opinions about this. What years mark we got LSU
versus Houston. Can we say a bit of a weird
season for LSU?
Speaker 2: You think?
Speaker 6: Now? The thing of it is, you know when you
handicap these bowl games, you know, we're always trying to
look at you know, who wants to win, where's the
motivation and so forth. And I'm gonna be honest, when
you start to handicap this, it's tough to make it
a case for the LSU side, even though I'm gonna
get there at the end of the day with LSU. Obviously,
you look at LSU when you say they're going to
this bowl, the Texas Bowl, how excited can they be? Well? Yeah,
you go back to the beginning of the season, and
this is a team that was ranked in the top
ten and really thought to be a team, a contender
for the national championship. And I'll be honest, I thought
they were myself, and the season just fell apart. They
fired Brian Kelly. Now you get to the bowl game,
you've got opt outs galore. On the LSU side. They're
not gonna have quarterback Garrett Nussmayer, which they didn't have
him down the stretch. Anyways, Houston looks to be at
full strength. Houston's playing in Houston, so obviously there's gonna
be a bias with the crowd. All of that's lining
up to you on the surface. Oh, let's just go
ahead and grabston. They're even the favorite over an SEC school.
But I'm sorry, I'm still looking at a Big twelve
school against an SEC school that, yes, is gonna have
a lot of backups in the game. But when you
look at most of the SEC teams, you know a
lot of their backups can start on other teams. Let's
be honest about that, and I think LSU is gonna
be okay in this game. We know Lane Kiffin takes
over after the Bowl game, so it's interim head coach
Frank Wilson for one more game. He's one in three
in the four games that he has coached since they
fired Brian Kelly. But at the end of the day,
when you look at the games, most of the games
have been competitive. Why because LSU plays outstanding defense. Houston's
bread and butter is their ground game. They've had three
straight games where they've rushed for two hundred yards or
more on the ground. Look at those who they've played,
Team don't play really good defense. LSU strength has been
their defense, especially against the run. LSU without question has
played the much tougher schedule than Houston is play backup
quarterback Van Bruton. He's done well. I mean, he's gotten
stronger in each game. You look, he's got a QB
rating of one twenty two. I think he's gonna be
okay facing this Houston defense rather than facing the SEC
defenses that he's had to face. And I always say,
and even with the backups, I still say LSU has
the better defense. I can get points with the better defense.
That's where I'm gonna go. End of the day, I'll
take LSU plus the points.
Speaker 1: In this one, you got disagreement from the LSU fan, Marco.
Speaker 6: I thought I had so much disagreement there that you
guys dropped me there.
Speaker 1: No, I was looking at what our Jay's opinion was
on this one. Not an SEC team. That's great. Love
you love you, r J. All right, let's move to
the NFL. But actually before we do this, Marco, this
has been such a weird season for your Steelers. I
gotta get your opinion on what just what's what's the
season been like from a Steelers fans perspective, There's been
some weird games.
Speaker 6: Oh, there's been absolutely a ton of weird games in
you know, last week. I mean, it was so crazy
the ending there where nobody knew what what happened at
the end. Was it a touchdown, wasn't a touchdown? The
referees are looking at they're talking with one another, and
then after like what three minutes, four minutes go by,
you know, and remember this is just a couple of
days after we had that Seattle fiasco with that two
point conversion on Thursday night, with the referees changing, they
come out in the referee. You know, it was one
of those good news bad news. You know, which do
you want first? Well, I think you should have started
with the bad news first, because the referee comes out
at the end of the.
Speaker 7: Game and goes the result of the play is a touchdown,
and the crowd erupts in Detroit thinking they won the game,
and he goes. However, I don't there was so much
noise after the eruption of the touchdown announcement that I
don't think three quarters of the crowd realized that he
was about to say the game's over.
Speaker 6: Detroit loses. It's crazy. And I happen to be at
the Westgate, our good friends at the Westgate on Sunday,
and you want to talk about the place going nuts
because there were so many money line parlays to Detroit,
teasers to Detroit. They erupted thinking they won the game two.
It just it's been a crazy year and the Steelers
to be where they're at now. And what was more
amazing for the Steelers. Remember it was less than a
month ago that they were chanting fire Mike Tomlin and
then last week the Steelers put up four hundred and
eighty one yards of offense on Detroit. Granded. Detroit's got
injuries on you know, to the defense, but still Pittsburgh
hasn't had a four hundred and eighty one yard offensive
outputs uh since Ben Roethlisberger's been gone. And we're talking
Ben Roethlisberger a few years, you know, back when he's
still uh you know, was it full strength. It's just
been a crazy season.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: I just you know, the fans are happy right now.
But what's gonna happen whenever they lose in the first
round again, you know, is that going to erase everything
they did? Down the stretch because it's going to be
the same old story.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like it just follows Aaron Rodgers around.
I think he just brings chaos and weirdness and like.
Speaker 6: Believe it or not, people, you know, I didn't know
how the Pittsburgh fan base would embrace Aaron Rodgers. He's
slowly won them over over the course of the season.
He did a nice gesture, which is something he's done
everywhere he's been. He all of his offensive linemen got
you know, super nice gifts for him from Christmas. He
bought them all. I think, uh, you know, quads, off
you know, off road stuff. I mean, you know not
We're not talking about cheap gifts. Okay, you know he
takes care of players and the fans right now, you
know they're buying it because Aaron Rodgers is a winner
and does he got one more left in the tank?
You know, take them on a magical ride. We'll see
where this goes.
Speaker 1: Well, let's go to another game here. Incredible game Eagles Bills.
I was kind of chuckling, like this Bills team. They
got to be like can we can't we catch up
with New England this week? It's like, No, New England's
facing the Jets. That can we catch up with him?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 1: No, they're facing the Dolphins like every week, it's like
the Bills have this tough game in New England's facing
the Jets again. So the Patriots they're gonna be playing
at one. I believe this game is afternoon, so we're
gonna know what happened there. But this is a great game.
This is Dan's Eagles versus Ross the Boss's Bills. How
do you break this game down?
Speaker 6: Well, I'll start with saying this will be a great
plug for Marco's Delhi. This is one of the games.
It is on this week's Marco's Delhi. And I'll explain
why when I give you the breakdown. But if you
like the way I'm about to break this game down,
that's what Marco's delis all about. It's about trap games.
It's about sandwich spots, situational spots. I look at games
a different way, and you know it's great for you.
You know, if you like the way I do, it
put you on a winner, even if you don't like
the side I come with. If I get you off
of a game not to play it, you know that's
actually more beneficial to you because if I give you
a winner, you make one unit, but if I take
you off a loser, I actually saved you one point
one units with the juice. So this is a trap
game in my opinion. And what I mean by that
is you look at this line. Philly clinched the division
last week with their win over Washington, so Philly set
Buffalo still needs wins. Okay, now they're in the playoffs,
don't get me wrong, but Buffalo has two things to
play for. One is what you just mentioned. Buffalo has
an opportunity to catch New England if New England stubs
their toe, so in comes Buffalo with a need to win. Buffalo,
as I said, is already in the playoffs. But are
they going to be the five, six or seven seed
depends on what they do the last two weeks, so
they do have a reason to play as far as
positioning goes. Also based on looking at this line, Buffalo
with need at home. And this line opened under a
feel goal. It opened to two and a half, and
my bells and whistles arms went off. Right then, I'm saying,
this line smells fishy. You got Buffalo that's got n
Philly really doesn't have need. They're in and won their division.
Why is this under a field goal? And we've seen
Buffalo put up big offensive numbers in the last several weeks.
This looks like they're absolutely begging you to take Buffalo.
And I thought it was low at two and a
half and the line continues to drop, it's down to
one and a half. Smells fishy. And when a line
smells fishy to me, that's when my trap alert goes on,
and it's lining me up on Philadelphia. And if you
look at cincinnat or look at Buffalo, remember three weeks ago,
Cincinnati came in here with their offense which is explosive,
but a defense that's a sieve, and they had Buffalo
on the ropes. If it wasn't for Joe Burrow throwing
back to back interceptions picks in that game in the
fourth quarter, they don't come back and win that game.
It was a thirty nine to thirty four win. Cincinnati
dominated that game for three and a half quarters. I'm
gonna take Philly here now that they won the division
they got, you know, they can play loose. I'm going
to take them in this one. Plus the points don't
know how Dan feels about that one. Usually I'm picking
against his Eagles, but I like him this week in
this game.
Speaker 2: Well, your microphone didn't turn off, so you know, I
had to like what you were saying there, Marco. But
one thing I would also throw in there, you know,
because there is questions about, you know, how is the
motivation for either of these teams. One thing I will
say is whenever there is a plus sign next to
the Philadelphia Eagles name, that has been a great spot.
Nick Sirianni is a guy who he thrives in motivating
his guys.
Speaker 3: That's really all he brings to the table at sharing
schematic differences.
Speaker 2: But over the last two seasons, Eagles five and oh
straight up five and zero against the spread when they
are getting points. So a barking dog here against the
team who really hasn't been all that dominant at home.
I typically am fading my Eagles too. Marco is an
emotional hedge, but I think this should be pick them
at worst, and in some spots that is what it is.
So if you're getting points, I think this is a
no brainer. Teaser leg for sure is if as long
as you're not having to pay minus one thirty five
to take the Eagles up to seven and a half.
It's it's a no brainer if you have a good
priced teaser shop, which in twenty twenty five is being
coming increasingly hard to find. But that's probably that's probably
the way that I would attack it. But you know,
music to my ears, Marco, what do you have rocking?
Because with that x miss twenty five deal that we
have going, people can take twenty five percent off even
already heavily discounted things over at the page. So when
they head on over to WT dot buzz backslass MD,
what kind of stuff will they find?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and guys, that q pon code X. You know
x MISS twenty five. That's not just on daily packages,
it's weekly packages, monthly package. You can even grab a
full season at a twenty five percent discount with that,
and it's gonna be a jam packed weekend. Guys, we
got football galore, You've got bowl games all weekend. You've
got you know, NFL Saturday and Sunday. So jump on board.
In guys, the Bulls. Last year I went nine and four,
This year four and two so far. One of those
two losses not a good Christmas Eve present, I had
cal that was a tough one to swallow on Christmas
Eve up twenty one to nothing and end up losing
on next to the last play of the game. But
five percent plays will be included any that we have
in this coming week. We're forty and eighteen since February
twenty twenty four with those, So take advantage of a
package this week and save yourself twenty five percent with
that cupeont code.
Speaker 2: All right, Marco, this is the time when we get
to let you off the leash and we talk the
wing sauce of the week. If you haven't joined us before,
we get to get unfettered looks at Marco. This has
been one of my favorite things this season, is letting
Marco shine. So the wing sauce of the week, what's
the hot take that we're looking at this week?
Speaker 6: The hot take this week is Marco called an audible one,
you guys, and he didn't let you know, no sauce
of the week because it's Christmas and we had Marco
clause on bed on it this week. Well, we were
spreading cheer on bed on it. Marco clause is delivering
who got lumps of coal? Oh yes, yes, we've got
a few. Okay, and Marco's gonna start with last Saturday
Texas A and m head coach Mike Elko. Okay, all right,
in a scoreless game with two minutes to play in
the first half, and it's a scoreless game because neither
quarterback is any good in that game, and you're playing
with wind gust of thirty miles an hour at times.
Field goal kickers are struggling, quarterbacks are struggling. So it's
fourth and four with two minutes to play, and you're
at your own forty six yard line, fourth and four.
Time to punt. But no, Mike Elko got a great idea.
You know what, Let's go for it. But no, we
don't go forward in a traditional factor and have our
quarterback out there. Let's send the punter out there to
run a fake, fake punt and throw the football in
wind gusts. Yeah that's a great idea. Yeah, that didn't
work out, and it led Miami down the field. However,
with those win gusts, Miami missed the short field goal,
the forty yard field goal right before the half anyway,
so he got a reprieve. So first lump of coal
for stupidity goes to Mike Elko. Second lump of coal
goes to Green Bay. Romeo Dobbs, Oh, you're on the
hands team.
Speaker 8: You got one job, and not only you got one job,
you get probably the best bounce in football on an
on side kick, right up into your bread basket, and
you fumble the on sidekick.
Speaker 6: I think there was only five on sidekicks made this
year for the entire season. The probability factor I think
was like two or three percent chance of making an
on sidekick. Yeah, you fumbled. They get the ball, they
go down, score the game tying touchdown, and then end
up winning it in overtime. Lump of coal for Romeo
Dobbs and the last one. This is a three parter,
but it's all involving the same people. We're gonna give
the Detroit Lion defense, the Detroit Lion offense, and head
coach dam Campbell all lumps of coal and the defense.
When we say we talked about it. They let the
Steelers have four hundred and eighty one yards of offense.
You get a lump of coal. You know, the Lions offense,
you can't score two weeks, you struggle, and last yesterday,
six turnovers. You get a lump of coal, but the
biggest lump of coal, and this one gets not in
your stocking, Dan, Gamble, I'm hitting you over the head
with it, okay, because in that Steeler game, it's the
second drive of the game, you're up, you're down three
to nothing, and it's fourth and three. You've had fourth
and three, fourth and goal from the three. I should say,
you've already had three cracks at the end zone and
you haven't gotten in tie the fricking game and kick
the field goal. Guess what if he had to kick
that field goal in the first quarter and tie the
game at three to three, the score at the end
of the game would not have been twenty nine to
twenty four, meeting a touchdown to win. It would have
been twenty nine seven meeting just the field goal on
that final play of the game to get in there.
You've done it so many times this year, Dan, I
know as you say, that's who we are. Well, you
know what, you get a lump of coal on your head.
Merry Christmas from Marco Claus.
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it well. Although with with a.
Speaker 2: Triple coler for the Detroit Lions I joked about when
you were breaking down the Eagles, we left your mic on.
I'm shocked the show's still running because the Detroit office
has to be screaming at their TVs after Mark was
although they probably agree with you rough season there for
the way.
Speaker 6: Hey, you know what, I just you know, I've pissed
off half of the NFC North this year, like.
Speaker 4: You asleep.
Speaker 6: Man, that's it, guys, Sorry for the.
Speaker 1: Audible, great stuff, Marco.
Speaker 3: Appreciate you, Marco, best of luck, brother.
Speaker 6: All Right, I have a good week, guys.
Speaker 2: Let's cash Yeah, let's check out that x miss two
five and maybe maybe uh Detroit office did cut them
off that way. He was saying, cut some tickets or
cash some tickets. Man, they're not happy about the triple Coler.
Speaker 1: Can I can I say something real quick? You're Dan
and I'm I'm glad I can say this because somebody
in the chat just agreed with me. Thank you, Captain Cush.
The big helmets just I'm still not I'm still not
used to the big helmets.
Speaker 3: It's tough to see.
Speaker 2: It's a tough look, you know, especially when especially when
it's a diminutive guy like like Romeo Dobbs with the
Guardian cat looks ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It looks like one of the characters in Spaceballs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: I know it's for safety.
Speaker 3: I know it's for safety, but I just can't.
Speaker 1: Quite get over the hump mentally. I still chuckle when
I see it a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, especially when it's like peeling off it Just it
looks kind of bush. It really does. And not to say,
like dude.
Speaker 2: Anything, even if it's reducing concussions, you know, eighteen percent
or whatever, like all for it. I can plays as
a guy who played football, as a guy who played
center and has knocked his head quite a few times,
I'm all for it.
Speaker 3: But the look is, it's pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Listen. I agree, Like I'm just saying that. I the
look of it is, it just takes me off guard.
I'm glad it's safe. I wish everybody.
Speaker 2: That's what That's what we're saying. You know, all for it,
you know what I mean? But it does it looks
like you ever play do you remember?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a Golden nine where you could put it
on a big head mode. That is, it feels like
big head mode on gold NYE, let's.
Speaker 1: Do some free plays for the people here. Dan, you
want to start with WTFLFG.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it, man and and guys. This segment
we started off WTF and LFG. Basically if you again,
if you never joined us, what we do is I
give a play once solo play. It could be prop,
could be side, could be total, could be any sport,
and you the chat and Andy decides as if it
is a WTF, if we're fading that play, or if
it is an lf and we're backing that play. This
is what it kind of looks like with Andy's face
Sometimes he goes the hell are you thinking? Y says,
let's catch these tickets. Dan, Well, after we started zero
and to Andy, we have been on a roll since
we've gone seven and one since that point.
Speaker 3: We just cashed on Thursday.
Speaker 2: A lot of folks in the chat weren't agreeing with
my thought that Aaron Jones would be going over his
attempts because he had an ankle injury. Doesn't matter if
you have an ankle injury and you're the only running back.
He soared over fifteen and a half. Sixteen and a half,
so it wins at any number. We're going back to
a running back prop here, Andy, and let's take a
look at that Eagles and Bill's game. A lot of
people are talking about Saquon Barkley and oh my goodness,
he's playing the worst rush defense. His yardage total in
this Andy is now one hundred and two. One oh
two and a half is the yardage total that we
have for Saquon. I'm not going to make a case
for the under, but don't bet that play, folks. Don't
bet Saquon to go over one hundred and two rushing yards.
If you want to bet Saquon, tail me on this plan.
Take his longest rush over sixteen and a half yards.
It's only minus one fourteen at the blue book. Sixteen
and a half is the number basically painted. It's been
rough going for Saquon. If you remember, Andy, we actually
bet him under eighty and a half rush yards. We
cashed because he got pulled out of the game because
he played so well, so we still cash regardless. He's
gone over one hundred yards twice in the last three games,
so he's finally starting to find his stride. Once it
was really a hull hum year. I think the offensive
line picking up some of their woes has been a
big part of that. But now facing against this thirtieth
ranked rush defense in the league, running backs currently averaging
over five yards per carry versus defense, it's exactly what
Saquon Barkley needs to to, you know, continue this kind
of upswing that he's had. However, you know, having a
guy who struggled all year, who's averaged around seventy rush
yards per game, one hundred yar isn't the way to
bet him. He's cashed this over his longest run three
straight games. I think it becomes four straight against this
A broken tackle can get you seventeen plus yards against
this rush defense. Who guys like you know, backup running
backs for the Cleveland Browns went over this number. You know,
guys like Woody Marks went over this number. Now you
have a Saquon Barkley who's surging at the end of
the year. I think sixteen and a half is a
really good way if you want a better running back
prop in this game. I wanted Tank Bigsby. Nobody's offering him.
Let's go over sixteen and a half on the longest
rush for Saquon WTF or LFG, My friend.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an LFG. We'll get to why I
we'll get to fading the Bills rush defense in all
around the world and why I agree with it. But yeah,
these rush defenses, they're not getting better as the season
goes on. They're getting worse. And this is a Bills team,
this is their big Achilles heel. It has been all year.
It hasn't gotten better. They get they got some guys
back healthy, and then they immediately got hurt. So I
saw that number from Saquon and that's the books just
telling you everything you need to know. Like they're not
giving you the free over on the run it.
Speaker 3: So it's an FU line, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Our late friend Dave Sheriffan would refer to that, you know,
longtime odds maker. He would say sometimes they would sit
back in the book and they would say, all right,
you know, we know that this is probably gonna hit,
but if you want to bet at FU, here you
go one hundred and two rush yards for a guy
averaging seventy one yard yards per game.
Speaker 3: I'm finally getting a lot of lfg's here in the chat. Andy,
so we love it.
Speaker 2: Comment after the video goes live and let us know
if you're tailing or if you are fading. And Andy
another comment, we got elite dB an elite defensive back
twenty one. He's wondering we got any NBA play as well.
You've come to the right choice because Andy Lamb not
only has some NBA plays, he has plenty more for
you here coming up in all around the world.
Speaker 1: Correct, Andy, Yeah, I'll go through some NBA plays that
I like. The Boston Celtics minus eight and a half
against the Pacers coming out of holiday. I would say
that eight and a half at home for the Pacers
a little bit too much. This is a Pacers team.
It's actually playing tough. They're just losing, which is what
they should be doing. They're primed for good. This is
a team that's probably gonna cover a lot of games
and just be one of the top one of the
worst three teams record wise in the lead, So I
would lean that way. I would also look at the
Pelicans plus five and a half against the Suns at home. Again,
I like these home teams getting money. Zion coming off
the bench has been really good for this team. I
talked about how he's thin, he looks healthy, and this
is a Phoenix team that I think the shine is
starting to wear off a Phoenix. I would gladly take
those points, and then who would have thunked the Portland
Trail Blazers. It's basically a pick them against this Clippers team.
This Clippers team is fade fade, fade. It's a disastrous
season for them. And you want to talk about a
couple guys that I don't see motivated coming out of
a break. That's James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. My favorite
player prop that will be a client play. It's going
to be an obscure one here, guys. It's Bub Carrington
over eight and a half points for the Washington Wizards.
We had a bet on him the other night to
go over his points and he got in foul trouble
immediately and just barely went under his total. The books
have lowered this number. He's gonna get his normal minutes
coming off the bench. He goes up against backup guards
and he should have success at numbers eight and a half.
So that will be a client play. So there's a
few NBA plays for you we do all around the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just you're you're, You're a man of the people. Man,
they said, give us NBA bets. We had Mike Chiming
and he was like, no, NBA is crazy. It is crazy.
That's why we hit it. Here at the end, brother,
you got it. You gotta stay tuned, and.
Speaker 1: Friday Friday is Football Friday.
Speaker 2: Well, comprehension at an all time low, Andy, But let's
comprehend how to bet some of these free plays that
you got for the folks.
Speaker 3: It's all around the world.
Speaker 2: And Andy and I still have our five NFL side
picks coming up, you guys, So a loaded Friday show.
After Andy just gave you, like four NBA free plays,
what are we going all around the world with?
Speaker 4: Brother?
Speaker 1: We're hitting NFL pretty hard. We'll go to this Giants
Raiders game, Jackson Dart under thirty and a half rushing yards.
I think they finally finally got to Jackson Dart and
they were like, stop riding the ball. You can't go
to the blue tent anymore. So last week, Dan, he
did nothing. He threw for thirty three yards. Last week,
I will repeat that he threw for thirty three yards.
He only got credited with a couple of rushes. So
I like Jackson dart to go under Saints Titans Tayji
Spears over seventeen and a half receiving this play has
been fantastic. He's gone over in nine out of ten
games this season. He has two or more catches in
the full ten games that he's played. And then I'm
taking your quarterback, Dan. Rushing is a way to fade
this Bills defense. I don't like this big Saqua number.
They're gonna be holes galore in that line, and Jalen
Hurts does a great job of exploiting it. He's not
the fastest guy in the world, but he knows how
to gets to the sideline extend drives. I like him
to go over thirty two and a half rushing. So
those are three NFL props that I would keep my
eye on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2: And if you remember, there was a game that the
Eagles played in the rain against the Bills. I think
it was in twenty twenty three before they completely collapsed.
His rushing yards, I mean he averaged I think it
was like thirty one yards per rush or something in
that game. It was something crazy. He was just ripping
them off. Is laying back for the Birds probably not.
I mean, I think he's available, but I think the
Eagles are kind of viewing this as they're basically going
to be locked in as the three seed barring some craziness.
So probably you rest him your rest Jalen Carter. Even
though they are available, there's been no words. I haven't
seen him at practice this week, for what it's worth,
and so it's a good question there though, And I
agree with John.

Speaker 2: And you know, just hitting that like button and subscribing
goes a long way for all the free action that
we give you here.
Speaker 4: Andy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody already asked about darts. Let's do these, Let's
do these picks. Let's do the pick five and then
all if I can find Yeah, we'll.
Speaker 2: Get the darts for the after hours, folks, as we've
already gone over an hour here.
Speaker 1: Andy, Okay, all right, let's do the pick five. I'll
go first, But I do agree with the chargers over
the Texans. This offense just doesn't quite just doesn't quite
have the zest. And I think this Chargers team might
be peaking going into the playoffs. This would be a
scary team to play. I do love this Ravens team
at the Packers. I think they're going to be better
with Huntley, and I don't trust this Packers team without
Jordan Love. I know Malik Willis has had his moments,
but I just I just like this Ravens team without
Lamar Jags at Colts, our defense can't stop anybody. The
jag are a jar, not right now like they look
so good, and Phil Rivers put up some big numbers,
but it's our defense without Sauce Gardner, we can't stop anybody.
So Jags I like big and I just want to
fade this Jets team. I want this Patriots team under fourteen,
so I'll take that one. And then the Saints minus
two and a half at the Titans. I hate this day,
and because I have a future on the Saints under
six and a half wins, which looked like a lock,
and they've won three straight and now they get like Titans,
Jets or Tights, I can't remember who they finished out
the season with So now I'm gonna have to freaking
hedge if they win this game, and I think they
are going to I think, I don't think they're that bad.
I think Tyler Shuck's pretty good. He's got really good
chemistry with a Labbe. They're on their seventeenth string running back,
and yet they just keep getting these bad teams. I
think they win and cover and they put me in
a horrible position where I get a hedge out of
a freaking season win total that looked like it was
a slam dunk. Literally a month ago, it was like,
all I need is for the Saints to not win
the last six games of the season, and now they
and what happened, Yeah, they may do that.
Speaker 2: So that's clearly you know, a lot of people towards
the end of the year, it's like, oh, they're playing
for draft position. Like it was very clear that the
Saints said, hey, we're kind of in this murky position
right here.
Speaker 3: What do we have in you know?
Speaker 2: So they clearly have said, screw the draft position, let's
get building blocks for next year. And this is about
building up a coach and building up a culture. Props
to Kellen Moore. You know this, this season could have
went completely different. Props to Kellen Moore. We would love
to still have you in Philadelphia. I was hoping they
would suck so he would leave there and come back.
That's not going to happen. Five picks for me and
my man Adam Rosenberg. Not sure if we're going to
get a show. There's some sick kids in the household
for my man Berg, so you're all do a solo show.
But you can get the plays here. We're a little
bit head to head. We're taking Houston plus one and
a half. I think you're getting a discount Houston. Yes,
the offense is really bad. Yes they're going against this
Chargers defense, but this Chargers defense went they play good defense,
or this Chargers offense when they've played good defenses, and
this cornerbacks can certainly match up with what the Chargers
like to do and air the ball out. So I
think this could be a little bit of a wrong
team favored. So I would take the points there the
way that I would really bet it. Take Houston as
that other teaser, like with my Philadelphia Eagles, take them
both up to seven and a half. I think this
is a three point game either way. Same way that
you were saying about, you know, just laying it with
the Jags. I feel like you do that with Seattle.
This Carolina team, Yes, they've been the nice surprise of
the year, but this Seattle team has just been absolute
animals on the road under Mike McDonald. Mike McDonald, so
I'm not afraid to lay in the seven and a half.
I think Carolina is going to be an extremely public dog.
I think Seattle gets home by margin Tampa Bay. This
is just a fact, Quinn Viewers sucks. Next game, San
Francisco going against the Chicago Bear. San Francisco looks like
they are the quietest eleven win team that I that
I have ever seen. Like no one is talking about
the fact that this team is just on an absolute
role right now. Chicago is the flavor of the week
for sure, as they're a team who's exceeded the expectations.
San Francisco has done the same thing. And you know
this is essentially whoever wins this game is going to
be Coach of the Year. And Shanahan after the bye week,
not that they're coming off the bye, his teams after
the bye week occurs he's an insane against the spread
guy once he's able to make adjustments, and especially when
you have a team who needed to get healthy and
then just the This game doesn't mean much for the Rams,
especially if San Francisco ends up winning. Atlanta has been
a fun home dog this entire season. Beat the Bills
out right. Getting eight and a half against a Rams
team that may not be all that motivated, I think
is a kind of no brainer for Atlanta, who for
the last few weeks. I'm not a Raheem Morris guy,
but this team is clearly playing to not get their
head coach fired. I think Rams probably win by more
of like a field goal. I think eight and a
half is a little bit crazy getting them over the
key numbers. So final one is Atlanta on a little
ugly action there for you Monday.
Speaker 1: Night foot All right, Well, you guys asked for a
darts play. I'm gonna get one. And there's a reason
why I'm gonna bring this up is because this is
a hilarious story. So Clayton and Zanveld, Yeah, over five
and a half sets here, this goes off tomorrow. I
have to bring up Clayton dan uh, are you aware
of how Johnny Clayton advanced.
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of how Johnny Clayton, nor who he
is or how he advanced, and he so fill me in.
Speaker 1: Okay, He's a legendary darts player, been around forever. Johnny
Clayton was supposed to play a guy named Dom Taylor.
Dom Taylor got suspended last year for failing a drug test.
This isn't darts, by the way, So this guy failed
a drug test. They interviewed him about failing the drug
test last year and he told everybody he was very
sorry and he felt terrible. And then that afternoon he
got suspended again for a drug test and had to.
Speaker 3: Force and what drugs are we testing?
Speaker 1: They haven't said it, but literally they asked him about
being suspended last year for failing a drug test. He
said he felt terrible and it would never happen again,
And it literally happened again a couple hours later and
he had to forfeit a match. So we're gonna take
them over. Zonaveld had a nice win again.
Speaker 6: It was it was.
Speaker 1: An upset, but he beat Michael Smith three one. These
guys are pretty good. They're fairly equal. Clayton should win,
but I like zonavel to keep this thing competitive. Takeover
five and a half sets, bangs your darts play bang.
Speaker 2: I mean, Andy, this was a football Friday of all
