Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.
If you are new, we always start this show by
being transparent. There were no shows over the weekend. We
do this Monday through Friday, but I believe Friday. I
can't remember Friday. I think Friday was good. But over
the weekend, I know NBA and college basketball perfect. Didn't
lose a game football, I just got whooped up and down.
I just I think I went I want four and
eleven or something like that. So football was terrible, college
basketball and NBA was perfect. But ironically, I had my
best bet of the NFL Week sixteen tonight, and I
put it in last week, so I think my most
confident bet will be better. But Veno is good to
be back with you. How's everything going with you?
Speaker 2: Things are good Saturday. It's funny you mentioned it because
there are some times on this show where you know,
you use the phrase shoot or shoot, and Saturday I
just was like, you know, what four sports going on?
Generally I'll take the card and carve it down a
little bit because you don't want to give too much action.
But now we took a shot on Saturday. It was
twelve and three. Nice for twelve and two and a
fourteen play day all the way until that Oregon game,
which I had Oregon and somehow James Madison, you know,
can do no wrong ninety nine yard drive to end
the game. But that aside, was a really really solid
twelve and four Saturday, followed up by a three and
two yesterday. However, I will gripe just a little bit
five percent played Detroit Lions team total over twenty eight
and a half score, two touchdowns on the final drive,
both called back for PI which hurt a little bit,
but it was still a three two day and made profits.
So it was a great weekend. Six and one college
football last seven. So we're storming through these bowl games
pretty well too. I've been good. No complaints around here
other than you know, wait, when you're winning that much, key,
you want to win everything, you know what I mean,
You're like, damn Oregon, why do you want to wreck
my twelve and two by making it twelve and three?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What was that at the end of that Detroit game,
they're making up new rules. I don't know what was
going on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, you know, as it had no business
being in that good of a position. Anyway, because Detroit
was allows you all game one. But once they get
you there and they score a touchdowns, like, oh my god, right,
and then they call it back, and then they score
it again and then they call it back. Somebody get
that referees name because I don't like him too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, stop playing with our emotions and our wallets. All right,
let's get to actionable info for today. We have seven
NBA games, and we do have a Monday night football game.
Start off with Hornets and Cavaliers. This one opened up
minus nine. It still looks like nine and total open
two thirty four and a half. That's gone all the
way up. Besides two thirty nine and a half. As
far as injuries, you have Colkburnner, Sexton, and Grant Williams
out for Cleveland. Still knows Strews, Nance or Mobley. You
have Porter, Mitchell and Merrill all probable. It is the
first game of a back to back for these Hornets.
We do have a bit of rest for these Cavaliers,
I think two days off for them. And the Cavs
did lose to this Hornets team earlier in the season,
so a chance to get a little bit of revenge
for them and the Cavaliers. I'm not mistaking. I'm just
gonna double check. They did lose their last games as well.
They lost the Bulls. I mean they lost twice in
the rows. They lost three in a row. As a
matter of fact, Sovino, it does stand out to me
that the Cavaliers have lost three in a row and
they're laying nearly double digits. But I'm not going to
try to be too smart here. I mean, I keep
saying this Calves team, they just stink right now, Like
they don't play any defense. And you know, I always say,
if you can't can't trust you to get stops, how
can I expect you to win by big margin. They're
not wasting at all, So it's absolutely not I would.
I would go Hornets plus or stay out the way.
As far as the site is concerned. How do you
feel about it?
Speaker 2: You know? Yeah, I mean the Calves they've rapidly climbed
the hell no list five and fifteen against the spread
last twenty There's just no way, and they're generally a
favorite in every single game they play. They just they
don't win, they don't cover, they don't do much of
anything except give up points. I mean, if you want
to look at Charlotte's team total, I wouldn't be opposed
to that. The Bulls, even with that quick turnaround. I
don't know will put revenge in quotation marks, but it
was a quick turnaround off of a loss to the
same team, and the Bulls just came out and destroyed
them again, even worse the second time. So I can't
get anywhere near the Cavaliers in this game for them
at this point in time, if I'm going to get involved,
it's probably going to be toward a total, although their
totals are extremely high priced because odds makers have caught
on they score, they don't defend. It's really a crazy situation.
I think we talked a little bit about it last
week real quick that they had come out and said
the general manager came out and said that the only
untouchables on this team are Mitchell and Mobley. Other than that,
you know, call us and tell us who you want
and we'll see if we can work it out. So
it's a far cry from what it was last year
with Cleveland. I don't know what the issue is, but
it's been going on for a while. SKI five and
fifteen last twenty against the spread is a it's a
sign of being far over valued in the market. So
you can't play a team it's overvalued and be it's
a sign that they're just eroding from within somehow, some way.
No play here unless you where to choose some form
of total. I don't think I could talk you off
any angle Charlotte team total. I'm just trying to look
really fast while we're still on this game is one
fourteen and a half. I don't know. The Calves give
up one fifteen pretty easily nowadays. We'll see how it goes,
but I probably won't be involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that could be a way to look at it
as well. Just fade that Calves defense. I can definitely
get behind that. Next game we will go Pacers and
Calves open up minus tennis up to twelve for the
Celtics and total hasn't really moved too much. There you
have McConnell, Nie Smith, Shepherd and topping out Wash questionable
take them out. So for this one here, robno both team.
I'm sorry. Pacers are the ones on the furst of
a back to back and four nights vert the Celtics. Celtics, Well,
I'll start with this I would like Wash to be
in there if I'm gonna make a bet on the under.
But you are missing some pace off the bench with
TJ McConnell out in this game. Neither one of these
teams has been playing well much pace lately. Pulling up
the last five games twenty seventh and twenty second, I mean,
I was just talking from the top of my head,
but yeah, not much pace for both of these teams.
Pace is a bottom ten offensive ready team in that
same span. I don't know, I you know, I'm thinking
we get a slower, lower scoring game here. Can you
talk me off and under?
Speaker 2: It's hard to because I know you often say that
and I agree with it that when the defense performs bad.
I guess what I say is coaches like to fix
what went wrong the prior time. In Indiana gave up
like a forty four point first quarter the other day,
and I'm sure Rick Carliles and on two police, so
I would look for a little more focus on Indiana's
defensive end. I guess That's where I'm trying to get
with all these comparisons. But I do believe Indiana will
try and play a little better defense and then to
that I'll add again because we talk every day on
this Monday through Friday on this show. But I know
that you were expecting a little bit of regression in
Boston Celtics shooting right. They were shooting like crazy for
a few games, and it did come back to earth
a little bit last game, and I wouldn't be surprised
if it comes to Earth comes back to earth a
little bit more here. I mean, you just can't shoot
as good as they have been shooting. In fact, as
I look now, three of the last four from three
point range, Boston is thirty one percent or worse. And
so if Indiana brings us a little bit of defense
to the table here, and like you say, there's some
offense missing from this one, I could totally see Under
in this game. Again. Let's go back to an earlier
little conversation we had. You told me Jalen Brown's a
liar rob, you know, and there is no fast pace
to this team, and the statistics back it up. So
I would probably look Under as well. Think and thinking
from the Indiana perspective that what happened last game forty
four point first quarters, you got to straighten those things out.
So I think Indiana will be a little bit more
defensive minded tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad. Uh yeah, we kind of agreeing on
that one. I think I have to push the button
on that under in that game. Let's keep going down
the list. You know, the injury report is crazy today,
and so honestly my favorite bet. Like I said, I
made my bet last week for the NFL the five percent,
but I was taking my time a little bit with
NBA today because it's just an injury report land mine.
So that's why I'm saying, you know, I'm thinking about
taking this and taking that because I wanted to wait
a little bit today. But MAV's and Pelicans it did
open minus too, and it looks like a pick them
right now to the open two thirty seven. It's as
high as two forty and a half. As far as
the injuries are concerned. Murray's out for the Pelicans, so
they're pretty healthy. He's been out for Dallas though Cooper
flag is questionable, Max Christie's questionable, Clay is probable flag.
He's been playing kind of good lately. Rober you know that.
I mean, you would have told me earlier in the season.
I might not have cared but he's been playing all
right lately. Both teams are on the front of a
back to back here. The thing for me is you
could be missing flag for one, and I just the
Pelicans have been They've been making me money. I've been
backing them every single game, and they just continue to cover.
They've covered nine out of ten games.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit different here because you're asking
him to actually win. They have one ford their last five.
I don't know. I just I like what I'm saying
from Repulicans right now. I think they're playing with energy,
they're playing well playing, they're even playing defense. Like the
only way I can look in his game is to
back the Pelicans. As far as the total, I'll leave
that to Ravino. But honestly, Pelicans been playing so fast.
Now I'm thinking about it, you know, it's probably only
the over. If I'm thinking it's gonna be a Pelicans game,
They're at home, probably control the pace. I'll agree with
the market. I'll say Pelicans and over in this game.
How do you feel about it, Ravino?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with the market. A Pelicans to
your point, nine to three over the total last twelve
their team total nine to three to the over last twelve.
I think we broke down the numbers the other day
about their straight up record as opposed to their as
opposed to their ATS record. You know, weren't winning games,
but certainly covering games, and that continued on through four
straight covers for them. Now five straight covers, excuse me,
and they're winning games all of a sudden. So the
Dallas side runner look at it in Cooper Flag, I
think I saw right before we came on that he
was at shoot around today with or not that upgrades
him from questionable or not, I'm not sure, but he
was at shoot around, and to your point, he's been
playing so well lately, I don't think a guy like that,
if there's any way he can play, I think he
probably will. So maybe Cooper Flagg does play in this game.
And Dallas has certainly been a team geared toward overs
this season, faster pace, less defense, ad involved now, but
Gafford and Lively not, so there's less rim protection for
this team overall. I don't know these New Orleans games,
and I've been successful last couple you've been betting them sidewise,
I've actually been on a few overs here where they've
paid off. Just they're playing really well and fast, and
Dallas is kind of doing the same. So to me,
the market move this one total wise the correct way.
I wouldn't want to single out either team here. I
think I want him both should be a little back
and forth. And I'm trying to remember I should look
this up, but I know because we've said it before.
This is a New Orleans team that Dallas laid eight
and a half two earlier in the season when New
Orleans was on a back to back and New Orleans
came in and beat them. And I don't have their
earlier season results right in front of me. I'm trying
to look up whether those were overs or not. But
they were? Were they over?
Speaker 1: You mean that game?
Speaker 2: Well, they played twice back to backs, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have both of those games here. They one
of them went under by one point and the other
one was another under.
Speaker 2: So and they were a while ago, right, they got
to be.
Speaker 1: A I mean one was on November fifth, the other
one was on November twenty first. But this Pelicans team
probably since right after that, I don't know, they just
been playing looking different to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they creditated on current form. Current form
is way different than what it was then, right, I mean,
so I think that both these teams fast scoring, I
could agree with over to forty and a half.
Speaker 1: All right, I like it. I like what we're talking
about in this game. Shout out to Garth Drake with
the five dollars. Dono says he likes Pelican's team total
over one eighteen and a half. MAVs have allowed one
to twenty plus and four of their last five RO games. Definitely,
definitely can get involved with that or endorse that. Appreciate you,
Garth Drake. Next game will go Jazz and Nuggets. It
opened fifteen and a half actually and came down as
low as thirteen. I'm seeing out there the total different
story went from two forty four and a half as
high as two fifty and a half. And for the
injury report, yeah you know two fifty and a half.
You heard that right, no errors. Marketing is questionable, Kevin
Love is out, kneeing is out for Denver, Peyton Watson
is questionable. There's no bron and no Gordon. I mean
miss a lot of points without marketing for sure. These
are two teams two absolutely no defense, robno like this
should just be like it's gonna be worse than the
open gym, open run, Like it's gonna be just get
whatever you want at the rim, take as many threes
as you want. Just who can I score?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 1: I feel like? So I understand why the Totos words
at can we still bet it? Man? And to what
we said? I mean, we talked about Denver's hit one
twenty two plus and so many games right anymore? So
it's it's just tough. I mean, I think Denver can
blow them out, though I do I disagree with the
line coming down unless you tell me marketing is playing,
then I have I can understand. But other than that,
Denver over, I don't know. I don't know Denver one
thirty one and a half. I'm ana posit to you.
I'm gonna take a look at what Utah has been
given up. But sing's kind of steep, probably, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I laughed immediately when you said two
fifty one and a half. But I was thinking more
towards a team total, which you know, it's been an
automatic mechanical play for me to just get the Denver
team total over. But they might have priced me out here.
One thirty one and a half is a lot to ask.
I mean, it's all got to go right basically. I
mean it has been for Denver, but I don't know
that I want to back that necessarily. I don't mind
the one twenty two and a half's the one twenty
four and a halves. But when we get up here,
you know, the odds makers are just saying they're stopping
me from coming to the windows. Enough here comes ve.
You know, put the stuff signed up one thirty one
and a half, and yeah you can't. It makes you
think twice three times, et cetera. I don't know that
I could get there. Do you want it disqualify Utah
their offense entirely and not get to the full game total?
I'm not sure it. Two fifty one is a ton.
I mean I can't play it. Let's put it this way.
I can't play it under. I'm hesitant to play it
over in either form either.
Speaker 1: Let me read this go ahead one seven to one
twenty eight. That's two fifty five, one thirty five to
one forty three. That's what two seventy eight, seventy one,
thirty three to seventy three one one twenty six.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they're getting there there. Can we get
Utah to give us enough without marketing? I guess would
be the next question.
Speaker 1: We last two games I have, but it's a tough ass.
Speaker 2: You just like I say, I can't play under hesitant
to play over last thing, I'll say real quick, you
covered it a second ago. But I will also thank
Garth Drake for the donation. You know, he's in on
our college basketball show every morning donating too. So obviously
all of us at wage your talk appreciate you, Garth
coming through and watching and taking care of us in
that way, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: People looking at these and Garth too, looking at Joker
tribal double.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who's gonna stop them? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Hard to argue, Hard to argue for sure, Casey says, man,
how are these scores even possible? Once Jutah has George,
I think they should help the total.
Speaker 2: He had a big night at the other night. I
think he had thirty eight.
Speaker 1: He's been scoring a lot. He's definitely been scoring a lot.
It's one way ticket, one way ticket, man over or nothing,
Nuggets or nothing for me? All right, move over to
another big point spread game at least okay See opened
sixteen and a half down to fifteen and a half.
Total went up from two twenty seven and a half
as high as two thirty and a half. And let
me actually refresh these injuries just to make sure man
for this game. This one is just CVS style receipt.
Uh yeah, Clark, Edie, Jerome, Morant, Pippin, Small Williams. Everybody
out for the Grizzlies. Did they even have anybody coming
off the bench tonight? I don't know. Rabino, b okay See,
william is questionable, Caruso, Jane Hardenstein, Homegren, topic Williams, everybody's out,
nobody wants to play to night, Robino, I don't know.
I can't lay. I mean, I don't know if I
can bet this game. Maybe I go with the A
first quarter over. I mean you are missing a lot
of room protection. No Hardenstein, no home Grin, no Edie,
no Clark No. I mean that's the only way I
can think to bet this game. Mark, you still did
push it up full game. I do think there will
be points. The problem I have is if Okayse's blowing
them out, I don't know, is there enough in the
tank like, how many guys are on the bench tonight.
That's what I worry about. So I'm thinking points early, Rob.
You know, how do you view Memphis and Okay see.
Speaker 2: Well, can you can you get to the window three times?
Assuming that you did against Minnesota the other night? I'm
not sure that you did. I know we talked about
it on the show, But can you get to the
win three times in a row with Okay c first half? After?
You know, I don't even know what the halftime score was.
I know they lost to Minnesota straight up. I forget
what the halftime scroll was. But they hadn't performed first
half real well last couple. Maybe they get it here.
I've worried for the Memphis guards Ski. I mean, you
take a look at that starting lineup and it's Cam
Spencer and Cedric Coward. You know, with the defensive matchup
of case, I'm Wallace and lou Dort, that's tough for
their guards. I could see Oklahoma City turning them over here.
They usually always have enough where depth is concerned. They're
going to be down to about eight tonight. But for
that for the other side, I just I don't know, Man,
it doesn't look like a heck of a lot of
scoring coming from that backcourt. Jah was terrific the other
night as far as assisting and scoring without him, you know,
Cam Spencer is not necessarily a playmaker. The Yukon shooting
guard is basically a shooting guard. He's not really a
starting point, so I think he might get harassed by
okay see, I could see Oka See getting the job
done early here ski honestly, and then just taking a
break maybe with SGA, who doesn't play fourth quarters in
routes anyway for the most party, since the bench for
fourth quarters. But if I would look okay see, I
think I could look early, especially off of the loss
to Minnesota. There's just a certain mentality and focus about
that team where they likely care right off the bat
against Memphis, where I don't know, Memphis will probably care too.
But I don't like that backcourt matchup whatsoever, offensively or defensively.
I mean, I'm looking here to find out who in
the world is going to stop SGA from scoring points
without fouling him? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe, First, is there first half team totals for some
of these maybe first yeah, sixty or sixteen?
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't.
Speaker 3: They don't want our money tonight they don't want it
because this is kind of steep, or maybe they're just
I mean say, we're gonna have to pay because I
still think they can get there.
Speaker 1: But it's just I'm gonna have to think twice that
these numbers. All right, keep going down the list here
with up Gearmo shout out to my guy right there.
I hope all as well. Next game up, we have
Magic and Warriors opened up. Warriors minus five looks like
five and a half totals come down from two twenty
nine and a half to twenty seven and a half.
Seth Curry and our Horford will not see the court tonight.
Or Orlando, you have Franz and Mo Wagner both out,
Castleton out sugs is doubtful, and then you of the
Silver questionable and pretty pretty big injury report for this
Magic team. First of a back to back for them
coming off of an overtime game versus the Jazz. Okay,
if you know I've been thinking about this all morning,
really Warriors, I mean I'm being more specific. I mean, yes,
the Warriors, but probably seventy five percent. Steve Kerr, I
don't trust like if you tell me I can go
coach the team and put the players I want on
the court. I'm gonna go run through the window and
back to the Warriors on the spread the night. But
having to play lineup roulette with Steve Kerr, I just
I don't know if I'm in for that. I'm in
too that, you know, But I don't believe like I
do think they need wins. Obviously, the below five hundred
Kerr was pasted before they won their last game. They're
gonna be hungry to win. They're at home. I just
think this Magic team is a fade, Like I thought
that they were a play in here. Let me pull
up their schedule. It was a game they were like
I think there were plus five or I don't know whatever.
I'm looking at their schedule. God lost by double digits
to the Nuggets, lost by double digits to the Knicks,
struggling with Utah with no marketing and overtime. I want
to paye this the injury report. I want to pade
this Magic team mine, you know, slightly going towards Golden State.
I think it's going the right way. I think we
take the Dubs tonight. What do you think you're rob.
Speaker 2: You know, well, they did help me cash. The other night,
I tried the Golden State Phoenix because they just played
that back to back against them. The first game was
like ninety nine to ninety eight last week, and so
I played it over the second time around, and they
both shot well and it did get well over, So
we cash that ticket. Could be a little bit of
a springboard for a Golden State. You know, there was
some we talked about the Steve Kurz stuff last week,
you know, last year of contract. Maybe he's checked out,
et cetera, et cetera. His lineups, his rotations make no sense.
He schedules losses for this team. It just it is
what it is. But I'm not sure that this will
be one here. It's bad enough not to have Franz
Rogner out in your lineup, but then when they take
Suggs out of there, they become a little bit of
a different team. Jalen Suggs really is the more I
see of Orlando a key to the ignition for that team,
and substituting in for Anthony Black, who's not necessarily the
same point guard whatsoever. Tristan da Silva more defensive oriented
than offensive. I don't I just think those two pieces
out of their starting lineup limit them a little bit,
whereas the other side could, Like I said, that could
be a springboard game. So if I had to play,
I would play Olden State. I'm not sure. I don't know.
To twenty seven and a half always looks appealing in
modern day NBA, but I don't know that I could
get there with the over there either. I think if
I had to, probably be on Warriors side and probably
no look at the total. The more I think about it,
just just Warriors.
Speaker 1: We're in agreement on that. They did let us know
in the chat that marketing will play tonight, So.
Speaker 2: Fifty one here we come.
Speaker 1: Hey man, you can see it in nice three hundred
point games tonight. Yeah, definitely gonna take a look at
that spread is coming down totals in that movie. Maybe
the total is already adjusted for I don't know. But
next game up we have. Last game in the NBA,
Blazers and Pistons opened up minus four and a half
for the Pistons. Looks like six even six and a
half's out there. Total came down from two thirty eight
as low as two thirty four and a half during
its probable. Howland is questionable. Jeremy Grant is questionable. For
this Blazers team, still know Scoot, Drew, Tybo or Wesley.
We just make sure there's no injury of course for
this game. No, it's not. This has been the Blazers row.
I mean they've covered every game as a home dog.
You know, they have one looked okay lately, but they
played some bombs. They played I think the Kings twice
at the same time. This Pistons team, I don't think
they've looked so great in their last three row games.
They might have lost them all or maybe they just
didn't cover them. But I think it's Blazers are nothing
for me in this game. Ralphino, any thoughts from you here?
Speaker 2: Well, there is a huge disparity, right. I think we
talked about the Blazers from the other perspective last week.
As a home favorite, they haven't covered a single game
as a home favorite. They didn't cover that night. I
think they beat Sacramento by one or two. Sacramento didn't
have zach Lavine, and yet as a home underdog they
do the job almost every time. I have difficulty betting
against Detroit the way they've been playing this year, blew
Charlotte out the other night. I think that was probably
to be expected. In fact, now that I look at
my own spreadsheet here, I had played Detroit the other night,
laying ten and a half to Charlotte based on the
fact that Charlotte had scored those eighty points in the
first half against Atlanta the game before, and I just
didn't think Charlotte was coming back with that type of
shooting effort. They didn't. Detroit wins by twenty six, had
won at Boston a couple of games before that, three
covers in their last four. I don't want to bet
against the Portland Ats trend as the home dog, but
I don't want to bet against the Pistons either, because
it's another team like Okasee that just seems to be
focused night in night out. They had that little spell
where they weren't playing well, but seem to have picked
it up a little bit lately. So for me, it's
probably a no play. Total wise, Portland's been pretty much
an overplay for me. Here we're looking at that was
high two thirty eight. I guess the people who came
first got the better of the number two thirty four
and a half now makes you think a couple of times.
But I probably won't play ski because I like, you know,
sometimes you don't like either side and you wish they
weren't playing each other. This case, I kind of like
both sides in which they weren't playing each other, So
I'll let it go.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. We do have a little bit of a
Monday night er football and lines. I mean, you did
move from the opener was what five and a half
or six? We're looking at four and a half right now.
I mean different numbers depending where you shop. I see
a four and a half and I see a five
and a half, So obviously, you know, make sure you
line shot depending what side you like. Total of forty
six here, Rob, you know, I want to pull up
the schedule. But off the top of my head, the
first thing I think, here, Philip Rivers, what are we
going to get from my guy, my old charger. I
feel like he played pretty well in that last game.
I mean, you know, as far as the circumstance, he
played pretty well, and I think that I think he can.
It's repeatable, Like I don't think he necessarily has to
do too much in this game. Forty nine Ers. That's
a team I don't know how much I necessarily trust.
They've been so inconsistent to me all season. I know
that the Colts kind of crash. Maybe when was it
when the quarterback went down? But Colts are our team
that's still not out of it yet, right and have
a good defense to have a good old line. I
think they can run the ball. I think the defense
can play well. I think the Coast can stay in
this game if they're running the ball. I don't think
we're going to Philip Rivers can't push the ball downfield.
So if I'm thinking like that, I would have to
think under forty six as well. Any thoughts on this game, Ravino.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean your last thirty five to forty seconds
there pretty much are my exact thoughts here. A couple
of things, first off, I think. First off, let's say
this Indianapolis offensive line is upper echelant as far as
the NFL offensive lines are concerned. There's no doubt about that.
And if you needed any more evidence that the offensive
line is really good, all you have to do is
look to last week's game against Seattle, who has a
defensive front and a run stopping front that's as good
as any you can get, and really, Philip Rivers was
protected nicely in that game. Ski Now Fan Cisco has
nowhere near the ability of Seattle to stop the run
or get to the passer. So you would think the
old line at home this time, not in Seattle, would
protect Rivers really well. Hand off the tailor, let's open
some holes, get that thing going. And I agree with
you too that you know, what we saw the other
day kind of indicates that they just wanted to throw
checkdowns short passes. Rivers is accurate, but not a strong
arm quarterback. I don't think that a week of practice
is gonna help Philip Rivers launch these forty yard verticals,
although I'm sure that you know in that indie playbook
they wish they had them, because San Francisco saw the
tape last week, and I would imagine they're defensively, they're
gonna all be within ten yards of the line of scrimmage.
This guy can't push it. We're gonna cover guys tight,
We're gonna make tackles as soon as they catch the ball.
Seattle wound up doing that in the second half last week,
and it got them back in the game. The actually
got them to win. So all that being said, I'll
just close it with the other part of your thought,
which was Indianapolis defense played superb against Seattle last week.
They were great, held Seattle to eighteen point six field goals.
San Francisco's only asset this year and the reason why
they are where they are has been that offense, and
if the Colts slow it down even a little bit,
forty six just seems too high to me. To tell
you the truth, I think Indy has to find a
new way to win games. I think they figured that
out last week. Hey, we can win these low scoring games.
We came to Seattle lost eighteen sixteen. That's as good
as it gets. We can go home now and beat
San Francisco low scoring. So I think that the philosophy
has changed for Indy. I would look under hopefully you
don't get beat by you know, defensive scores and crazy stuff.
But if the game goes as you would blueprint it,
I think it choose clock and gets under forty six
points here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're pretty much in agree on this game. Yeah,
just looking at the I mean that should be the
game plan for the Coast to run the ball I mean,
looking at the forty nine ers eight, the tight ends
we're running on them. The Browns were able to run
on them. I think the Panthers word too. It's just yeah,
I agree, I agree, Robo. So that's the slave for today.
Let's see what can we do. I gotta throw some
stuff up promo wise, having a double check, but I
know this should probably still be good full court all
access past three days of NBA and college basketball for
only forty nine bucks. That is a good one, veno.
I don't want to get in trouble here, so I'm
just gonna I'm just gonna leave it at that for
right now, and I'm gonna pass it to you and
ask you if there's anything else you'd like to promote.
If you have a best bet for the show, we
love to hear it. If you don't, all.
Speaker 2: Good, yeah, real quick, I'll just one more time, because
here's where we get into a huge amount of college
football six and one. College football seven plays over the
weekend usually heats up this time of year. There is
a bowl package available as these games go by, guys,
they reduced the rate. I think it started when sixty
nine came down to one twenty nine. Go ahead and
check wager talk dot com. You get a really good
discounted price on what I don't know, thirty four thirty
five bowl games, playoff games, FCS Championship game that's left.
So I would leave you with that college football has
been really, really good lately and you can get a
good reduced price all the way through the National Championship
best bets. You know, I came in here skied prior
to when we went on and told you that I
really wasn't thrilled with much of anything here. But as
usual when we talk these games out, something winds up
standing out to me. And what winds up standing out
to me here is this Charlotte team total. I will
preface it by saying I didn't release this as a
client play yet. I haven't bet it yet, but I'm
going to go ahead and play this game, so therefore
I'll release it as a best bet for the show.
The team total is one fourteen and a half for Charlotte.
Great shooting game against Atlanta followed up by an eighty
six point effort. You know me, I'm always big at
the bounce backs. Gonna play with pace Calves. Give it up.
Even if the Calves win the game, they're liable to
give up one to fifteen. So for me, best bet
for the show. Top of the cards Charlotte Hornets team
total over one fourteen and a half.
Speaker 1: Good stuff from Ron Vino. Man. Like I said on
the top of the show, I really want to take
my time to make my best today. It's a lot
that I like. I just don't want to push the
button too early and we get some more of this
injury report nonsense. I have seven games on my short list.
Speaker 2: It is Christmas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some people don't want to play, some people are
ready to just go. I just don't want to be
on the wrong side. So seven players on my short list.
I'm probably gonna, you know, show up all my plays
around two between two and three pm, you know, closer
to the tip off as I can get. We're still
giving some people some time to follow, so I'm not
going to leave a best bet today. Tomorrow we still
have a big slate. Maybe I'll be able to get
to the window earlier and maybe give you guys two
best best for tomorrow. But I did give you all
of my opinions what I'm liking, and yeah, if you
want to follow my best bet for tonight, my top play,
I mean, my four percents in Higher Fit fourteen of nineteen. Lately,
I do have a five percent tonight, So you know,
I always say I appreciate you taking the time to
break these games down with me. Helps out my process.
I'm sure it helps out everybody else as well, and
people in the chat, we appreciate you. Just good people,
good energy, good capers. Everybody's sharing information, trying to win.
That's what I'm about. We're about over here, So best
of luck everybody on all your action. We'll be back
again tomorrow
