1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,359
If you are new, we always start this show by

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,160
being transparent. There were no shows over the weekend. We

4
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:17,120
do this Monday through Friday, but I believe Friday. I

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,120
can't remember Friday. I think Friday was good. But over

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:25,280
the weekend, I know NBA and college basketball perfect. Didn't

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,640
lose a game football, I just got whooped up and down.

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,159
I just I think I went I want four and

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,200
eleven or something like that. So football was terrible, college

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,840
basketball and NBA was perfect. But ironically, I had my

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,719
best bet of the NFL Week sixteen tonight, and I

12
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:52,960
put it in last week, so I think my most

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,920
confident bet will be better. But Veno is good to

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520
be back with you. How's everything going with you?

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: Things are good Saturday. It's funny you mentioned it because

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,400
there are some times on this show where you know,

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,840
you use the phrase shoot or shoot, and Saturday I

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,120
just was like, you know, what four sports going on?

19
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,000
Generally I'll take the card and carve it down a

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,000
little bit because you don't want to give too much action.

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,159
But now we took a shot on Saturday. It was

22
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,920
twelve and three. Nice for twelve and two and a

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,680
fourteen play day all the way until that Oregon game,

24
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:35,920
which I had Oregon and somehow James Madison, you know,

25
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,359
can do no wrong ninety nine yard drive to end

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,200
the game. But that aside, was a really really solid

27
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:44,959
twelve and four Saturday, followed up by a three and

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,159
two yesterday. However, I will gripe just a little bit

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,359
five percent played Detroit Lions team total over twenty eight

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,599
and a half score, two touchdowns on the final drive,

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,120
both called back for PI which hurt a little bit,

32
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:01,319
but it was still a three two day and made profits.

33
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:06,079
So it was a great weekend. Six and one college

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,919
football last seven. So we're storming through these bowl games

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,719
pretty well too. I've been good. No complaints around here

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
other than you know, wait, when you're winning that much, key,

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,919
you want to win everything, you know what I mean,

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,199
You're like, damn Oregon, why do you want to wreck

39
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:25,599
my twelve and two by making it twelve and three?

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? What was that at the end of that Detroit game,

41
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:30,479
they're making up new rules. I don't know what was

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,120
going on there.

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, you know, as it had no business

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,719
being in that good of a position. Anyway, because Detroit

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,719
was allows you all game one. But once they get

46
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:44,039
you there and they score a touchdowns, like, oh my god, right,

47
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:45,759
and then they call it back, and then they score

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,039
it again and then they call it back. Somebody get

49
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,719
that referees name because I don't like him too much.

50
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, stop playing with our emotions and our wallets. All right,

51
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:04,159
let's get to actionable info for today. We have seven

52
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,560
NBA games, and we do have a Monday night football game.

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Start off with Hornets and Cavaliers. This one opened up

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,639
minus nine. It still looks like nine and total open

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,439
two thirty four and a half. That's gone all the

56
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,680
way up. Besides two thirty nine and a half. As

57
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,919
far as injuries, you have Colkburnner, Sexton, and Grant Williams

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,800
out for Cleveland. Still knows Strews, Nance or Mobley. You

59
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:39,039
have Porter, Mitchell and Merrill all probable. It is the

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400
first game of a back to back for these Hornets.

61
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:43,639
We do have a bit of rest for these Cavaliers,

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,280
I think two days off for them. And the Cavs

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,479
did lose to this Hornets team earlier in the season,

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,080
so a chance to get a little bit of revenge

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080
for them and the Cavaliers. I'm not mistaking. I'm just

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,919
gonna double check. They did lose their last games as well.

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840
They lost the Bulls. I mean they lost twice in

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,800
the rows. They lost three in a row. As a

69
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,639
matter of fact, Sovino, it does stand out to me

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,800
that the Cavaliers have lost three in a row and

71
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,879
they're laying nearly double digits. But I'm not going to

72
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,840
try to be too smart here. I mean, I keep

73
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,599
saying this Calves team, they just stink right now, Like

74
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680
they don't play any defense. And you know, I always say,

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,399
if you can't can't trust you to get stops, how

76
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:23,600
can I expect you to win by big margin. They're

77
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,399
not wasting at all, So it's absolutely not I would.

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800
I would go Hornets plus or stay out the way.

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,839
As far as the site is concerned. How do you

80
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,360
feel about it?

81
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: You know? Yeah, I mean the Calves they've rapidly climbed

82
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,040
the hell no list five and fifteen against the spread

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,959
last twenty There's just no way, and they're generally a

84
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,240
favorite in every single game they play. They just they

85
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240
don't win, they don't cover, they don't do much of

86
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,079
anything except give up points. I mean, if you want

87
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,480
to look at Charlotte's team total, I wouldn't be opposed

88
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,560
to that. The Bulls, even with that quick turnaround. I

89
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,279
don't know will put revenge in quotation marks, but it

90
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:04,199
was a quick turnaround off of a loss to the

91
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,560
same team, and the Bulls just came out and destroyed

92
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,759
them again, even worse the second time. So I can't

93
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:13,279
get anywhere near the Cavaliers in this game for them

94
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:16,720
at this point in time, if I'm going to get involved,

95
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:20,399
it's probably going to be toward a total, although their

96
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,639
totals are extremely high priced because odds makers have caught

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,079
on they score, they don't defend. It's really a crazy situation.

98
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,040
I think we talked a little bit about it last

99
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,759
week real quick that they had come out and said

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,759
the general manager came out and said that the only

101
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,720
untouchables on this team are Mitchell and Mobley. Other than that,

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839
you know, call us and tell us who you want

103
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:42,759
and we'll see if we can work it out. So

104
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,160
it's a far cry from what it was last year

105
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,959
with Cleveland. I don't know what the issue is, but

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,680
it's been going on for a while. SKI five and

107
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:56,360
fifteen last twenty against the spread is a it's a

108
00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:58,959
sign of being far over valued in the market. So

109
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,439
you can't play a team it's overvalued and be it's

110
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,160
a sign that they're just eroding from within somehow, some way.

111
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,920
No play here unless you where to choose some form

112
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:11,720
of total. I don't think I could talk you off

113
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,959
any angle Charlotte team total. I'm just trying to look

114
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,160
really fast while we're still on this game is one

115
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,639
fourteen and a half. I don't know. The Calves give

116
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,639
up one fifteen pretty easily nowadays. We'll see how it goes,

117
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:25,959
but I probably won't be involved.

118
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:28,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that could be a way to look at it

119
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,879
as well. Just fade that Calves defense. I can definitely

120
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:36,040
get behind that. Next game we will go Pacers and

121
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,480
Calves open up minus tennis up to twelve for the

122
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:44,360
Celtics and total hasn't really moved too much. There you

123
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:49,160
have McConnell, Nie Smith, Shepherd and topping out Wash questionable

124
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:56,959
take them out. So for this one here, robno both team.

125
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:58,920
I'm sorry. Pacers are the ones on the furst of

126
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:05,240
a back to back and four nights vert the Celtics. Celtics, Well,

127
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,000
I'll start with this I would like Wash to be

128
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,399
in there if I'm gonna make a bet on the under.

129
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,399
But you are missing some pace off the bench with

130
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,759
TJ McConnell out in this game. Neither one of these

131
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,759
teams has been playing well much pace lately. Pulling up

132
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,519
the last five games twenty seventh and twenty second, I mean,

133
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,040
I was just talking from the top of my head,

134
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,920
but yeah, not much pace for both of these teams.

135
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,639
Pace is a bottom ten offensive ready team in that

136
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,879
same span. I don't know, I you know, I'm thinking

137
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,079
we get a slower, lower scoring game here. Can you

138
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,079
talk me off and under?

139
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,639
Speaker 2: It's hard to because I know you often say that

140
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:52,360
and I agree with it that when the defense performs bad.

141
00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:54,399
I guess what I say is coaches like to fix

142
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:56,759
what went wrong the prior time. In Indiana gave up

143
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,680
like a forty four point first quarter the other day,

144
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:02,279
and I'm sure Rick Carliles and on two police, so

145
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,800
I would look for a little more focus on Indiana's

146
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,079
defensive end. I guess That's where I'm trying to get

147
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,279
with all these comparisons. But I do believe Indiana will

148
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:13,920
try and play a little better defense and then to

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,480
that I'll add again because we talk every day on

150
00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:20,079
this Monday through Friday on this show. But I know

151
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,600
that you were expecting a little bit of regression in

152
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,759
Boston Celtics shooting right. They were shooting like crazy for

153
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,399
a few games, and it did come back to earth

154
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,240
a little bit last game, and I wouldn't be surprised

155
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,080
if it comes to Earth comes back to earth a

156
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,159
little bit more here. I mean, you just can't shoot

157
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,519
as good as they have been shooting. In fact, as

158
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:42,200
I look now, three of the last four from three

159
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:46,080
point range, Boston is thirty one percent or worse. And

160
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,279
so if Indiana brings us a little bit of defense

161
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,120
to the table here, and like you say, there's some

162
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:53,440
offense missing from this one, I could totally see Under

163
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,519
in this game. Again. Let's go back to an earlier

164
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,879
little conversation we had. You told me Jalen Brown's a

165
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:05,080
liar rob, you know, and there is no fast pace

166
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,200
to this team, and the statistics back it up. So

167
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,039
I would probably look Under as well. Think and thinking

168
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,879
from the Indiana perspective that what happened last game forty

169
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,480
four point first quarters, you got to straighten those things out.

170
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,360
So I think Indiana will be a little bit more

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,519
defensive minded tonight.

172
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad. Uh yeah, we kind of agreeing on

173
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,919
that one. I think I have to push the button

174
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,440
on that under in that game. Let's keep going down

175
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,039
the list. You know, the injury report is crazy today,

176
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,960
and so honestly my favorite bet. Like I said, I

177
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,919
made my bet last week for the NFL the five percent,

178
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,200
but I was taking my time a little bit with

179
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,919
NBA today because it's just an injury report land mine.

180
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:49,639
So that's why I'm saying, you know, I'm thinking about

181
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,240
taking this and taking that because I wanted to wait

182
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,559
a little bit today. But MAV's and Pelicans it did

183
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,759
open minus too, and it looks like a pick them

184
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,320
right now to the open two thirty seven. It's as

185
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,919
high as two forty and a half. As far as

186
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,279
the injuries are concerned. Murray's out for the Pelicans, so

187
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,120
they're pretty healthy. He's been out for Dallas though Cooper

188
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,639
flag is questionable, Max Christie's questionable, Clay is probable flag.

189
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,320
He's been playing kind of good lately. Rober you know that.

190
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,559
I mean, you would have told me earlier in the season.

191
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,440
I might not have cared but he's been playing all

192
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:27,519
right lately. Both teams are on the front of a

193
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,840
back to back here. The thing for me is you

194
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:36,799
could be missing flag for one, and I just the

195
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:39,879
Pelicans have been They've been making me money. I've been

196
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:42,240
backing them every single game, and they just continue to cover.

197
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,320
They've covered nine out of ten games.

198
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: I know.

199
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,399
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit different here because you're asking

200
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,399
him to actually win. They have one ford their last five.

201
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,480
I don't know. I just I like what I'm saying

202
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:58,080
from Repulicans right now. I think they're playing with energy,

203
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,639
they're playing well playing, they're even playing defense. Like the

204
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,519
only way I can look in his game is to

205
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,960
back the Pelicans. As far as the total, I'll leave

206
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,879
that to Ravino. But honestly, Pelicans been playing so fast.

207
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:14,639
Now I'm thinking about it, you know, it's probably only

208
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,679
the over. If I'm thinking it's gonna be a Pelicans game,

209
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,320
They're at home, probably control the pace. I'll agree with

210
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,720
the market. I'll say Pelicans and over in this game.

211
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,200
How do you feel about it, Ravino?

212
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with the market. A Pelicans to

213
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080
your point, nine to three over the total last twelve

214
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,120
their team total nine to three to the over last twelve.

215
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:34,840
I think we broke down the numbers the other day

216
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,960
about their straight up record as opposed to their as

217
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,080
opposed to their ATS record. You know, weren't winning games,

218
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,960
but certainly covering games, and that continued on through four

219
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,120
straight covers for them. Now five straight covers, excuse me,

220
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,759
and they're winning games all of a sudden. So the

221
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:56,320
Dallas side runner look at it in Cooper Flag, I

222
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,320
think I saw right before we came on that he

223
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,120
was at shoot around today with or not that upgrades

224
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:03,919
him from questionable or not, I'm not sure, but he

225
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,000
was at shoot around, and to your point, he's been

226
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,360
playing so well lately, I don't think a guy like that,

227
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,120
if there's any way he can play, I think he

228
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,960
probably will. So maybe Cooper Flagg does play in this game.

229
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,360
And Dallas has certainly been a team geared toward overs

230
00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:28,879
this season, faster pace, less defense, ad involved now, but

231
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:32,759
Gafford and Lively not, so there's less rim protection for

232
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,360
this team overall. I don't know these New Orleans games,

233
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,639
and I've been successful last couple you've been betting them sidewise,

234
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,559
I've actually been on a few overs here where they've

235
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,159
paid off. Just they're playing really well and fast, and

236
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:49,080
Dallas is kind of doing the same. So to me,

237
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,720
the market move this one total wise the correct way.

238
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,799
I wouldn't want to single out either team here. I

239
00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:57,919
think I want him both should be a little back

240
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,840
and forth. And I'm trying to remember I should look

241
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,120
this up, but I know because we've said it before.

242
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,120
This is a New Orleans team that Dallas laid eight

243
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,399
and a half two earlier in the season when New

244
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,360
Orleans was on a back to back and New Orleans

245
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,000
came in and beat them. And I don't have their

246
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,519
earlier season results right in front of me. I'm trying

247
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,240
to look up whether those were overs or not. But

248
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,600
they were? Were they over?

249
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,519
Speaker 1: You mean that game?

250
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:26,639
Speaker 2: Well, they played twice back to backs, right.

251
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have both of those games here. They one

252
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,120
of them went under by one point and the other

253
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,759
one was another under.

254
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: So and they were a while ago, right, they got

255
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,240
to be.

256
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: A I mean one was on November fifth, the other

257
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:45,039
one was on November twenty first. But this Pelicans team

258
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,679
probably since right after that, I don't know, they just

259
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,080
been playing looking different to me.

260
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they creditated on current form. Current form

261
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,399
is way different than what it was then, right, I mean,

262
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,559
so I think that both these teams fast scoring, I

263
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,559
could agree with over to forty and a half.

264
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: All right, I like it. I like what we're talking

265
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,879
about in this game. Shout out to Garth Drake with

266
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,919
the five dollars. Dono says he likes Pelican's team total

267
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,519
over one eighteen and a half. MAVs have allowed one

268
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,200
to twenty plus and four of their last five RO games. Definitely,

269
00:14:21,399 --> 00:14:25,039
definitely can get involved with that or endorse that. Appreciate you,

270
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,720
Garth Drake. Next game will go Jazz and Nuggets. It

271
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:32,600
opened fifteen and a half actually and came down as

272
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,279
low as thirteen. I'm seeing out there the total different

273
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,960
story went from two forty four and a half as

274
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,720
high as two fifty and a half. And for the

275
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:43,840
injury report, yeah you know two fifty and a half.

276
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:50,080
You heard that right, no errors. Marketing is questionable, Kevin

277
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,759
Love is out, kneeing is out for Denver, Peyton Watson

278
00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:59,639
is questionable. There's no bron and no Gordon. I mean

279
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,639
miss a lot of points without marketing for sure. These

280
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:08,440
are two teams two absolutely no defense, robno like this

281
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,840
should just be like it's gonna be worse than the

282
00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:15,399
open gym, open run, Like it's gonna be just get

283
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,120
whatever you want at the rim, take as many threes

284
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,720
as you want. Just who can I score?

285
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: Who?

286
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I feel like? So I understand why the Totos words

287
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,440
at can we still bet it? Man? And to what

288
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,840
we said? I mean, we talked about Denver's hit one

289
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:39,440
twenty two plus and so many games right anymore? So

290
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:44,080
it's it's just tough. I mean, I think Denver can

291
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,679
blow them out, though I do I disagree with the

292
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,440
line coming down unless you tell me marketing is playing,

293
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,279
then I have I can understand. But other than that,

294
00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:00,320
Denver over, I don't know. I don't know Denver one

295
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,639
thirty one and a half. I'm ana posit to you.

296
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:05,159
I'm gonna take a look at what Utah has been

297
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:07,639
given up. But sing's kind of steep, probably, you know.

298
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I laughed immediately when you said two

299
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,720
fifty one and a half. But I was thinking more

300
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:16,159
towards a team total, which you know, it's been an

301
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:19,720
automatic mechanical play for me to just get the Denver

302
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,679
team total over. But they might have priced me out here.

303
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,240
One thirty one and a half is a lot to ask.

304
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,080
I mean, it's all got to go right basically. I

305
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,360
mean it has been for Denver, but I don't know

306
00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:37,039
that I want to back that necessarily. I don't mind

307
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:39,799
the one twenty two and a half's the one twenty

308
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,919
four and a halves. But when we get up here,

309
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:45,799
you know, the odds makers are just saying they're stopping

310
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,879
me from coming to the windows. Enough here comes ve.

311
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,080
You know, put the stuff signed up one thirty one

312
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:56,039
and a half, and yeah you can't. It makes you

313
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,440
think twice three times, et cetera. I don't know that

314
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,559
I could get there. Do you want it disqualify Utah

315
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,640
their offense entirely and not get to the full game total?

316
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,680
I'm not sure it. Two fifty one is a ton.

317
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,559
I mean I can't play it. Let's put it this way.

318
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:19,839
I can't play it under. I'm hesitant to play it

319
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,839
over in either form either.

320
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,279
Speaker 1: Let me read this go ahead one seven to one

321
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,160
twenty eight. That's two fifty five, one thirty five to

322
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:36,240
one forty three. That's what two seventy eight, seventy one,

323
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,599
thirty three to seventy three one one twenty six.

324
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,799
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they're getting there there. Can we get

325
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,400
Utah to give us enough without marketing? I guess would

326
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,440
be the next question.

327
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: We last two games I have, but it's a tough ass.

328
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: You just like I say, I can't play under hesitant

329
00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:07,599
to play over last thing, I'll say real quick, you

330
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,039
covered it a second ago. But I will also thank

331
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:15,279
Garth Drake for the donation. You know, he's in on

332
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:19,160
our college basketball show every morning donating too. So obviously

333
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,759
all of us at wage your talk appreciate you, Garth

334
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:25,680
coming through and watching and taking care of us in

335
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,920
that way, appreciate it.

336
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: People looking at these and Garth too, looking at Joker

337
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:34,559
tribal double.

338
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who's gonna stop them? Yeah?

339
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:44,519
Speaker 1: Hard to argue, Hard to argue for sure, Casey says, man,

340
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:48,359
how are these scores even possible? Once Jutah has George,

341
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,640
I think they should help the total.

342
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:54,599
Speaker 2: He had a big night at the other night. I

343
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,519
think he had thirty eight.

344
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: He's been scoring a lot. He's definitely been scoring a lot.

345
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:05,400
It's one way ticket, one way ticket, man over or nothing,

346
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,559
Nuggets or nothing for me? All right, move over to

347
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:13,359
another big point spread game at least okay See opened

348
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,119
sixteen and a half down to fifteen and a half.

349
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,039
Total went up from two twenty seven and a half

350
00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:24,160
as high as two thirty and a half. And let

351
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,519
me actually refresh these injuries just to make sure man

352
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:31,400
for this game. This one is just CVS style receipt.

353
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:42,359
Uh yeah, Clark, Edie, Jerome, Morant, Pippin, Small Williams. Everybody

354
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240
out for the Grizzlies. Did they even have anybody coming

355
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,480
off the bench tonight? I don't know. Rabino, b okay See,

356
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:58,319
william is questionable, Caruso, Jane Hardenstein, Homegren, topic Williams, everybody's out,

357
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,440
nobody wants to play to night, Robino, I don't know.

358
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,680
I can't lay. I mean, I don't know if I

359
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,119
can bet this game. Maybe I go with the A

360
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,480
first quarter over. I mean you are missing a lot

361
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,240
of room protection. No Hardenstein, no home Grin, no Edie,

362
00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:25,759
no Clark No. I mean that's the only way I

363
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:28,480
can think to bet this game. Mark, you still did

364
00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:30,759
push it up full game. I do think there will

365
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:33,960
be points. The problem I have is if Okayse's blowing

366
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,599
them out, I don't know, is there enough in the

367
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,079
tank like, how many guys are on the bench tonight.

368
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,799
That's what I worry about. So I'm thinking points early, Rob.

369
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,720
You know, how do you view Memphis and Okay see.

370
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:52,799
Speaker 2: Well, can you can you get to the window three times?

371
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,240
Assuming that you did against Minnesota the other night? I'm

372
00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:57,839
not sure that you did. I know we talked about

373
00:20:57,839 --> 00:20:59,759
it on the show, But can you get to the

374
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:04,519
win three times in a row with Okay c first half? After?

375
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,799
You know, I don't even know what the halftime score was.

376
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:09,039
I know they lost to Minnesota straight up. I forget

377
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:12,000
what the halftime scroll was. But they hadn't performed first

378
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,480
half real well last couple. Maybe they get it here.

379
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,279
I've worried for the Memphis guards Ski. I mean, you

380
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,880
take a look at that starting lineup and it's Cam

381
00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:25,000
Spencer and Cedric Coward. You know, with the defensive matchup

382
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:28,960
of case, I'm Wallace and lou Dort, that's tough for

383
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,240
their guards. I could see Oklahoma City turning them over here.

384
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,279
They usually always have enough where depth is concerned. They're

385
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:41,680
going to be down to about eight tonight. But for

386
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,319
that for the other side, I just I don't know, Man,

387
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,279
it doesn't look like a heck of a lot of

388
00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:51,559
scoring coming from that backcourt. Jah was terrific the other

389
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,680
night as far as assisting and scoring without him, you know,

390
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,599
Cam Spencer is not necessarily a playmaker. The Yukon shooting

391
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,240
guard is basically a shooting guard. He's not really a

392
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:08,440
starting point, so I think he might get harassed by

393
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,920
okay see, I could see Oka See getting the job

394
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,279
done early here ski honestly, and then just taking a

395
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:19,400
break maybe with SGA, who doesn't play fourth quarters in

396
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,000
routes anyway for the most party, since the bench for

397
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,680
fourth quarters. But if I would look okay see, I

398
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,839
think I could look early, especially off of the loss

399
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:32,200
to Minnesota. There's just a certain mentality and focus about

400
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,400
that team where they likely care right off the bat

401
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,640
against Memphis, where I don't know, Memphis will probably care too.

402
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,000
But I don't like that backcourt matchup whatsoever, offensively or defensively.

403
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,240
I mean, I'm looking here to find out who in

404
00:22:46,279 --> 00:22:49,960
the world is going to stop SGA from scoring points

405
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,079
without fouling him? Yeah?

406
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: Maybe, First, is there first half team totals for some

407
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,799
of these maybe first yeah, sixty or sixteen?

408
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't.

409
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 3: They don't want our money tonight they don't want it

410
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,640
because this is kind of steep, or maybe they're just

411
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,519
I mean say, we're gonna have to pay because I

412
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:16,680
still think they can get there.

413
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: But it's just I'm gonna have to think twice that

414
00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:26,440
these numbers. All right, keep going down the list here

415
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:29,440
with up Gearmo shout out to my guy right there.

416
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,359
I hope all as well. Next game up, we have

417
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:40,559
Magic and Warriors opened up. Warriors minus five looks like

418
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,839
five and a half totals come down from two twenty

419
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,640
nine and a half to twenty seven and a half.

420
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,359
Seth Curry and our Horford will not see the court tonight.

421
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:54,799
Or Orlando, you have Franz and Mo Wagner both out,

422
00:23:55,519 --> 00:24:00,279
Castleton out sugs is doubtful, and then you of the

423
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:04,200
Silver questionable and pretty pretty big injury report for this

424
00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:08,200
Magic team. First of a back to back for them

425
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,880
coming off of an overtime game versus the Jazz. Okay,

426
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,880
if you know I've been thinking about this all morning,

427
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:22,119
really Warriors, I mean I'm being more specific. I mean, yes,

428
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,359
the Warriors, but probably seventy five percent. Steve Kerr, I

429
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,599
don't trust like if you tell me I can go

430
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,240
coach the team and put the players I want on

431
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:35,119
the court. I'm gonna go run through the window and

432
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,359
back to the Warriors on the spread the night. But

433
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,279
having to play lineup roulette with Steve Kerr, I just

434
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:45,799
I don't know if I'm in for that. I'm in

435
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,200
too that, you know, But I don't believe like I

436
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480
do think they need wins. Obviously, the below five hundred

437
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,640
Kerr was pasted before they won their last game. They're

438
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,359
gonna be hungry to win. They're at home. I just

439
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,279
think this Magic team is a fade, Like I thought

440
00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:07,359
that they were a play in here. Let me pull

441
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,400
up their schedule. It was a game they were like

442
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,359
I think there were plus five or I don't know whatever.

443
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:19,839
I'm looking at their schedule. God lost by double digits

444
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:23,400
to the Nuggets, lost by double digits to the Knicks,

445
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,880
struggling with Utah with no marketing and overtime. I want

446
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,960
to paye this the injury report. I want to pade

447
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,759
this Magic team mine, you know, slightly going towards Golden State.

448
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:38,759
I think it's going the right way. I think we

449
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:41,119
take the Dubs tonight. What do you think you're rob.

450
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: You know, well, they did help me cash. The other night,

451
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:49,160
I tried the Golden State Phoenix because they just played

452
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,400
that back to back against them. The first game was

453
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,000
like ninety nine to ninety eight last week, and so

454
00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:59,119
I played it over the second time around, and they

455
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,319
both shot well and it did get well over, So

456
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,640
we cash that ticket. Could be a little bit of

457
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,799
a springboard for a Golden State. You know, there was

458
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,119
some we talked about the Steve Kurz stuff last week,

459
00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:12,640
you know, last year of contract. Maybe he's checked out,

460
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,640
et cetera, et cetera. His lineups, his rotations make no sense.

461
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,599
He schedules losses for this team. It just it is

462
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,160
what it is. But I'm not sure that this will

463
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,839
be one here. It's bad enough not to have Franz

464
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,880
Rogner out in your lineup, but then when they take

465
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:31,880
Suggs out of there, they become a little bit of

466
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,279
a different team. Jalen Suggs really is the more I

467
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:38,720
see of Orlando a key to the ignition for that team,

468
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:43,039
and substituting in for Anthony Black, who's not necessarily the

469
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:48,160
same point guard whatsoever. Tristan da Silva more defensive oriented

470
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,920
than offensive. I don't I just think those two pieces

471
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,039
out of their starting lineup limit them a little bit,

472
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,079
whereas the other side could, Like I said, that could

473
00:26:57,079 --> 00:26:58,880
be a springboard game. So if I had to play,

474
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,079
I would play Olden State. I'm not sure. I don't know.

475
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:06,839
To twenty seven and a half always looks appealing in

476
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,200
modern day NBA, but I don't know that I could

477
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,839
get there with the over there either. I think if

478
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:16,960
I had to, probably be on Warriors side and probably

479
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,200
no look at the total. The more I think about it,

480
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:20,640
just just Warriors.

481
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:23,599
Speaker 1: We're in agreement on that. They did let us know

482
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,160
in the chat that marketing will play tonight, So.

483
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: Fifty one here we come.

484
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: Hey man, you can see it in nice three hundred

485
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:38,640
point games tonight. Yeah, definitely gonna take a look at

486
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,160
that spread is coming down totals in that movie. Maybe

487
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,079
the total is already adjusted for I don't know. But

488
00:27:46,319 --> 00:27:48,359
next game up we have. Last game in the NBA,

489
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,519
Blazers and Pistons opened up minus four and a half

490
00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:56,559
for the Pistons. Looks like six even six and a

491
00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:59,480
half's out there. Total came down from two thirty eight

492
00:27:59,519 --> 00:28:02,160
as low as two thirty four and a half during

493
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,079
its probable. Howland is questionable. Jeremy Grant is questionable. For

494
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,359
this Blazers team, still know Scoot, Drew, Tybo or Wesley.

495
00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:13,160
We just make sure there's no injury of course for

496
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,920
this game. No, it's not. This has been the Blazers row.

497
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:21,720
I mean they've covered every game as a home dog.

498
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:27,559
You know, they have one looked okay lately, but they

499
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:30,720
played some bombs. They played I think the Kings twice

500
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:34,759
at the same time. This Pistons team, I don't think

501
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,119
they've looked so great in their last three row games.

502
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,960
They might have lost them all or maybe they just

503
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,359
didn't cover them. But I think it's Blazers are nothing

504
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,920
for me in this game. Ralphino, any thoughts from you here?

505
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:49,799
Speaker 2: Well, there is a huge disparity, right. I think we

506
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480
talked about the Blazers from the other perspective last week.

507
00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:54,720
As a home favorite, they haven't covered a single game

508
00:28:54,759 --> 00:28:57,119
as a home favorite. They didn't cover that night. I

509
00:28:57,119 --> 00:28:59,839
think they beat Sacramento by one or two. Sacramento didn't

510
00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:05,160
have zach Lavine, and yet as a home underdog they

511
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,960
do the job almost every time. I have difficulty betting

512
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,720
against Detroit the way they've been playing this year, blew

513
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,640
Charlotte out the other night. I think that was probably

514
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,920
to be expected. In fact, now that I look at

515
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,160
my own spreadsheet here, I had played Detroit the other night,

516
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,440
laying ten and a half to Charlotte based on the

517
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,960
fact that Charlotte had scored those eighty points in the

518
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,880
first half against Atlanta the game before, and I just

519
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,799
didn't think Charlotte was coming back with that type of

520
00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:40,720
shooting effort. They didn't. Detroit wins by twenty six, had

521
00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:43,759
won at Boston a couple of games before that, three

522
00:29:43,839 --> 00:29:46,519
covers in their last four. I don't want to bet

523
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:51,680
against the Portland Ats trend as the home dog, but

524
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,200
I don't want to bet against the Pistons either, because

525
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,759
it's another team like Okasee that just seems to be

526
00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:00,559
focused night in night out. They had that little spell

527
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,319
where they weren't playing well, but seem to have picked

528
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:05,200
it up a little bit lately. So for me, it's

529
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,119
probably a no play. Total wise, Portland's been pretty much

530
00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:13,000
an overplay for me. Here we're looking at that was

531
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:15,200
high two thirty eight. I guess the people who came

532
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,880
first got the better of the number two thirty four

533
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,720
and a half now makes you think a couple of times.

534
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:24,079
But I probably won't play ski because I like, you know,

535
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,240
sometimes you don't like either side and you wish they

536
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,119
weren't playing each other. This case, I kind of like

537
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,599
both sides in which they weren't playing each other, So

538
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,279
I'll let it go.

539
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Fair enough. We do have a little bit of a

540
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:46,319
Monday night er football and lines. I mean, you did

541
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,880
move from the opener was what five and a half

542
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,799
or six? We're looking at four and a half right now.

543
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:55,680
I mean different numbers depending where you shop. I see

544
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,319
a four and a half and I see a five

545
00:30:57,359 --> 00:31:01,240
and a half, So obviously, you know, make sure you

546
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:04,400
line shot depending what side you like. Total of forty

547
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,920
six here, Rob, you know, I want to pull up

548
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,200
the schedule. But off the top of my head, the

549
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:19,200
first thing I think, here, Philip Rivers, what are we

550
00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:23,960
going to get from my guy, my old charger. I

551
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,359
feel like he played pretty well in that last game.

552
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,119
I mean, you know, as far as the circumstance, he

553
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:37,359
played pretty well, and I think that I think he can.

554
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,000
It's repeatable, Like I don't think he necessarily has to

555
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:44,279
do too much in this game. Forty nine Ers. That's

556
00:31:44,279 --> 00:31:47,240
a team I don't know how much I necessarily trust.

557
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,240
They've been so inconsistent to me all season. I know

558
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:54,640
that the Colts kind of crash. Maybe when was it

559
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,119
when the quarterback went down? But Colts are our team

560
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,359
that's still not out of it yet, right and have

561
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,240
a good defense to have a good old line. I

562
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,279
think they can run the ball. I think the defense

563
00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:11,200
can play well. I think the Coast can stay in

564
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,079
this game if they're running the ball. I don't think

565
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:16,839
we're going to Philip Rivers can't push the ball downfield.

566
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,559
So if I'm thinking like that, I would have to

567
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:23,880
think under forty six as well. Any thoughts on this game, Ravino.

568
00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: Well, I mean your last thirty five to forty seconds

569
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,400
there pretty much are my exact thoughts here. A couple

570
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,400
of things, first off, I think. First off, let's say

571
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,240
this Indianapolis offensive line is upper echelant as far as

572
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,759
the NFL offensive lines are concerned. There's no doubt about that.

573
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:43,960
And if you needed any more evidence that the offensive

574
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,440
line is really good, all you have to do is

575
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,880
look to last week's game against Seattle, who has a

576
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,599
defensive front and a run stopping front that's as good

577
00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:56,200
as any you can get, and really, Philip Rivers was

578
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,759
protected nicely in that game. Ski Now Fan Cisco has

579
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:04,640
nowhere near the ability of Seattle to stop the run

580
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,119
or get to the passer. So you would think the

581
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,480
old line at home this time, not in Seattle, would

582
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,200
protect Rivers really well. Hand off the tailor, let's open

583
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:18,559
some holes, get that thing going. And I agree with

584
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:20,960
you too that you know, what we saw the other

585
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:23,160
day kind of indicates that they just wanted to throw

586
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,240
checkdowns short passes. Rivers is accurate, but not a strong

587
00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:33,680
arm quarterback. I don't think that a week of practice

588
00:33:33,759 --> 00:33:36,960
is gonna help Philip Rivers launch these forty yard verticals,

589
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,519
although I'm sure that you know in that indie playbook

590
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:43,119
they wish they had them, because San Francisco saw the

591
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,039
tape last week, and I would imagine they're defensively, they're

592
00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:49,440
gonna all be within ten yards of the line of scrimmage.

593
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,279
This guy can't push it. We're gonna cover guys tight,

594
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,920
We're gonna make tackles as soon as they catch the ball.

595
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,039
Seattle wound up doing that in the second half last week,

596
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:00,000
and it got them back in the game. The actually

597
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,799
got them to win. So all that being said, I'll

598
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:06,920
just close it with the other part of your thought,

599
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,360
which was Indianapolis defense played superb against Seattle last week.

600
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,360
They were great, held Seattle to eighteen point six field goals.

601
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,480
San Francisco's only asset this year and the reason why

602
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:21,360
they are where they are has been that offense, and

603
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,400
if the Colts slow it down even a little bit,

604
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,800
forty six just seems too high to me. To tell

605
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,639
you the truth, I think Indy has to find a

606
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:30,400
new way to win games. I think they figured that

607
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,800
out last week. Hey, we can win these low scoring games.

608
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,960
We came to Seattle lost eighteen sixteen. That's as good

609
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,719
as it gets. We can go home now and beat

610
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,599
San Francisco low scoring. So I think that the philosophy

611
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:45,599
has changed for Indy. I would look under hopefully you

612
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:49,360
don't get beat by you know, defensive scores and crazy stuff.

613
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,360
But if the game goes as you would blueprint it,

614
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,800
I think it choose clock and gets under forty six

615
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,320
points here.

616
00:34:58,039 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're pretty much in agree on this game. Yeah,

617
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:04,639
just looking at the I mean that should be the

618
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,079
game plan for the Coast to run the ball I mean,

619
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:08,840
looking at the forty nine ers eight, the tight ends

620
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,679
we're running on them. The Browns were able to run

621
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,800
on them. I think the Panthers word too. It's just yeah,

622
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,639
I agree, I agree, Robo. So that's the slave for today.

623
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:25,440
Let's see what can we do. I gotta throw some

624
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,159
stuff up promo wise, having a double check, but I

625
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:34,400
know this should probably still be good full court all

626
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,159
access past three days of NBA and college basketball for

627
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,519
only forty nine bucks. That is a good one, veno.

628
00:35:41,159 --> 00:35:43,119
I don't want to get in trouble here, so I'm

629
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:46,440
just gonna I'm just gonna leave it at that for

630
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:47,880
right now, and I'm gonna pass it to you and

631
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,519
ask you if there's anything else you'd like to promote.

632
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,519
If you have a best bet for the show, we

633
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,599
love to hear it. If you don't, all.

634
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: Good, yeah, real quick, I'll just one more time, because

635
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,239
here's where we get into a huge amount of college

636
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,880
football six and one. College football seven plays over the

637
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,480
weekend usually heats up this time of year. There is

638
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:14,159
a bowl package available as these games go by, guys,

639
00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:16,519
they reduced the rate. I think it started when sixty

640
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:19,119
nine came down to one twenty nine. Go ahead and

641
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:21,440
check wager talk dot com. You get a really good

642
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,480
discounted price on what I don't know, thirty four thirty

643
00:36:25,519 --> 00:36:29,960
five bowl games, playoff games, FCS Championship game that's left.

644
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,519
So I would leave you with that college football has

645
00:36:32,559 --> 00:36:34,239
been really, really good lately and you can get a

646
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,480
good reduced price all the way through the National Championship

647
00:36:38,159 --> 00:36:42,719
best bets. You know, I came in here skied prior

648
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,320
to when we went on and told you that I

649
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,880
really wasn't thrilled with much of anything here. But as

650
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,039
usual when we talk these games out, something winds up

651
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:57,639
standing out to me. And what winds up standing out

652
00:36:57,679 --> 00:37:01,079
to me here is this Charlotte team total. I will

653
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:03,719
preface it by saying I didn't release this as a

654
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,719
client play yet. I haven't bet it yet, but I'm

655
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,920
going to go ahead and play this game, so therefore

656
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,159
I'll release it as a best bet for the show.

657
00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:14,599
The team total is one fourteen and a half for Charlotte.

658
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:19,320
Great shooting game against Atlanta followed up by an eighty

659
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,960
six point effort. You know me, I'm always big at

660
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,639
the bounce backs. Gonna play with pace Calves. Give it up.

661
00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:27,400
Even if the Calves win the game, they're liable to

662
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,119
give up one to fifteen. So for me, best bet

663
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:32,360
for the show. Top of the cards Charlotte Hornets team

664
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,039
total over one fourteen and a half.

665
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: Good stuff from Ron Vino. Man. Like I said on

666
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,400
the top of the show, I really want to take

667
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,920
my time to make my best today. It's a lot

668
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,719
that I like. I just don't want to push the

669
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,039
button too early and we get some more of this

670
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:51,119
injury report nonsense. I have seven games on my short list.

671
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: It is Christmas.

672
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, some people don't want to play, some people are

673
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:58,000
ready to just go. I just don't want to be

674
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,239
on the wrong side. So seven players on my short list.

675
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,719
I'm probably gonna, you know, show up all my plays

676
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,159
around two between two and three pm, you know, closer

677
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:11,079
to the tip off as I can get. We're still

678
00:38:11,079 --> 00:38:13,719
giving some people some time to follow, so I'm not

679
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,239
going to leave a best bet today. Tomorrow we still

680
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,119
have a big slate. Maybe I'll be able to get

681
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,320
to the window earlier and maybe give you guys two

682
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,559
best best for tomorrow. But I did give you all

683
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:27,920
of my opinions what I'm liking, and yeah, if you

684
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,719
want to follow my best bet for tonight, my top play,

685
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,320
I mean, my four percents in Higher Fit fourteen of nineteen. Lately,

686
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,679
I do have a five percent tonight, So you know,

687
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:42,559
I always say I appreciate you taking the time to

688
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:44,880
break these games down with me. Helps out my process.

689
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,880
I'm sure it helps out everybody else as well, and

690
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:54,800
people in the chat, we appreciate you. Just good people,

691
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,320
good energy, good capers. Everybody's sharing information, trying to win.

692
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,760
That's what I'm about. We're about over here, So best

693
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,320
of luck everybody on all your action. We'll be back

694
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,079
again tomorrow
