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 and another good day yesterday, let's pull it
up just I could be specific, so it looks like
four and one Falcons plus five and a half was
my top play Repelicans cash bejone over fifteen and a half.
Longest reception cash Nuggets and Kings. I was mad at
myself for a lot of the game for not taking
Nuggets team total over, but I ended up getting there
at the last second with the full game over two
thirty nine, So that did hit and the loser was
in college basketball Rio Grande University, Texas, Rio Grande. I
guess that business being on that game, you know, yeah, yeah,
I don't know what I'm doing with that, but you know,
it's good to be back with you everything.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was good, Ski, and it was really good
because I haven't had a lot of big, big plays recently,
but I have one last night and we talked about
it here. I'm the Tampa Bay team total over. They
don't win the game. In fact, I go back to
the show and run the tape back. I think we
could have parlayed with each other because I know you
had a lean towards Atlanta, and I had the Tampa
Bay team total. That gets there. NBA, I did have
the Nuggets team total over, so the one thirty six
was nice. That was two and oh and then college
who Virginia Tech Western Carolina over was nice. And I
had the Missouri team total up and over ninety two
they had fifty two at halftime. I thought I was
in the clear, but sort of let off the gas
pedal against a team they were twenty seven point favorites
against and only wund up with eighty five. So three
and one will take. It was a good day, and
for what it's worth, it actually pushed me back to
number one in the NFL. At wager talks, it was
a good.
Speaker 1: Night nice all right, let's see if we can we
can keep it up here today we have most games,
it looks like we've had all week in the NBA,
at least on Friday. So we'll start at the top.
Cleveland Washington Open fourteen and a half. That's where we're sitting.
Total though, has gone up from two thirty eight and
a half. That's how it's two forty four and a
half and when I look at who is on the
injury report, Jared Allen, Merrill nets Struce, all out for
Cleveland Blood, Chris Middleton, Corey Kispert, Alex R. Malac Brandham
all out, Yeah, all out for this Wizards team. It's hard.
I mean it's hard for me to back this Wizards team,
like I've just seeing them. They'll be in a game
for three They're being a game for two and a half, quarters,
three quarters, and it just absolutely implode. The Cavs still
a team I just don't trust, defensibly, especially without Jared Allen,
And I don't like that, you know, marrows out to
space the floor. This is the game I'm ultimately going
to stay away from. But you know, is there anything
you'd like here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I didn't play ski. I see the total has
taken a ton of money, up six points all the
way to two forty four. I don't know that I
could argue that because, again, to your point, we've kind
of harped on it on this show, the lack of
deep that's shown by the Cavaliers for the majority of
the season. But I think it's still scored like crazy.
Washington gives it up like crazy. So I don't know.
Maybe early money was right. I don't think I'll find
my way to the over in that game. But I
have a lot of difficulty with most of these games.
They just because as I said, yes say, I don't
know what the long layoff does to these teams. It's
probably specific to each team. But you know, yesterday we
saw the Pelicans who actually had played on my They
come up with one hundred and forty three. They look
pretty good in their effort. But some of these teams
that haven't played since last Sunday or Saturday playing now
on Friday, I just don't know how to react to
whether it'll be rest or rust.
Speaker 1: Very fair, very fair, pretty big break. So we shall see.
Speaker 2: On that one.
Speaker 1: Not a game I want to get involved with. Hawks
and Pistons did open up six and a half for Detroit.
Looks like seven and a half total hasn't really moved.
Don't only see Jones on the Isaac Jones on the
injury report for the Pistons for Atlanta, though Dante Terristic
porzingis treyon all out. I don't know. I feel like
this Hawks team matches up okay with the Pistons, Like
maybe if I like Atlanta. I just want to take
Jaysen Johnson over hit his points or pr a or
something like that. But I want to think Atlanta can
stay in this game here, Robie, no any opinion from
you on Atlanta in Detroit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would look Atlanta's way, just because Detroit's been
on such a slide. And again, I don't know if
the layoff was good for Detroit to not have played
in a while. But you know, they are one in seven.
I think I'm staring at here. Ats last eight games
one in seven played, Atlanta only beat them by one
point ninety nine ninety eight very recently first of December.
So for those reasons, I think I would like to
look towards Atlanta first, just because Detroit's not playing nearly
as well as they were playing at the beginning of
the season. Asking them to cover and win by eight
is a little bit much. However, again, the dilemma I
run into is maybe they needed to break, maybe they
needed to regroup and get back to where they were
started the season. So very very slight leaned towards the
Atlanta Hawks here, plus the points money's going against me here,
But I might lean that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking, honestly, you know, these first few games,
I'm not really liking the last the last few games,
I'm liking a lot more. So I'm gonna just keep
going down the list here. Bulls and Hornets did open
three and a half for the Bulls, looks like three
total came down from two thirty three and a half low.
It's two twenty nine. As far as the injuries, a
lot of them. Collins, Trey, Jones, korro Jyalen Smith, Kobe
Watt all probable, Dinsumer and hurt Her out for Charlotte.
Di Balte probable, LaMelo Conton, Trey Man, Colin Sexton, and
Williams look like they're all out for this Charlotte Hornets team.
I know, you know, I don't really trust the offense
that's going to be out there. I want to stay under,
but I also don't trust the defense. Not a game
I love. But the market did push the total down.
I guess I'd have to agree with that. What do
you think I.
Speaker 2: Can't play the bull The Bulls have fallen off a
cliff two and eleven ats three and ten straight up
last thirteen. Nothing going right for them to keep all
that talk early on about defense right out the window.
They're giving up a ton of points each and every night. Now,
I would have been to Charlotte if not for the
injury list. Probably could have gotten to Charlotte team total,
to tell you the truth, if not for the injury
list here. But again, like you say, there's just not
enough to like either side or total in these first
few games to commit or have any conviction taking a
stance here. I could not play Chicago. I mean there's
no way it would have to be Charlotte or nothing
in some way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: All right, let's not waste any time. We will go
and I think I'm missing it. I'm missing a game here,
so I won't have the banner right now. But Indiana,
that's how much I care about this game. I guess
Indiana and Philadelphia seven and a half, Lox like seven.
So it came down from two twenty nine and a
half to two twenty four and a half for Philly
and be as probable. Maxie is questionable. Oubres out, Wilfer's
out the same. My thing just refreshed and went to
a different page. But the same people were out for
the for the Pacers. Yeah, you know, I don't understand
why this line is where it's at with Maxi downgraded questionable. Honestly,
I feel like it should be it should be a
lot lower. So I don't know. I don't like when
the line feels real funny like this is it? Why
would it still be seven? With MAXI? Question? Well, are
they saying he's still going to play? What do you
think about this game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It makes no sense. Ski. First of all, you
can't I mean, Tyrese Maxi is the guy, right, We're
not telling anybody anything they don't already know, and it
almost is telling us that he's going to play. I mean,
with the numbers sticking where it is. If that's the case,
I would have been on over as well. But I'll
say this, I've really liked the way Indiana's played lately.
I know they haven't racked up a ton of wins,
but they seem to be getting better and better and better.
We've talked about their health throughout the season not being great.
It looks to me still this could be one of
those games. Sk'll say this where later on in the day, right,
take advantage of just been over in this contest because
I don't think there's gonna be a lot of defense
on the floor, and I do think there'll be a
lot of back and forth up and down, whether it's
Tyres or not Tyree's. And in that case, you wait
this thing out, he's ruled potentially out and you getting
even better number. No bet on the game. But I
could be one who goes against the green where that
total is concerned and plays over.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna move over to the next game here,
you know that is Jazz and Grizzlies. This one, this
one's interesting to me too. Opened up six and a half,
looks like seven seven and a halfs out there. Total
went from two thirty nine and a half as high
as to forty two and a half. Look at the
injury report for Utah only knee Yang is out. Everybody
else available for Memphis though, you do have Ja Morant probable,
but still no Clark. There's no Edy again, Jerome Contard,
Pittman small all out. This This is like, why are
the Grizzlies still when it's seven here? The Grizzlies defenses
look good. The Jazz defense has looked pathetic. I mean,
I guess you can start there and there at home,
but the Grizzlies offense hasn't looked great. Maybe they're going
to get a boost with John right there. I don't know.
This line is a seven for a reason, seven and
a half for a reason. Rabino, what do you think
about Utah and Memphis?
Speaker 2: You know, if we could trust any consistency out of
Utah's road offense, I would have played Total pretty easily
here up and over. But again it's something that we've
documented a lot on this show, Utah's discrepancy between what
they score at home and what they score on the road.
And it's not like they can't score on the road,
it's the consistency of them doing it because they can
easily go from one oh one to one one on
the road. If I knew they were going to get
to one twenty, they might against this Memphis defense, again, Zachy,
he's not in the game. That's basically all of their
rim protection, and without him you get to the hoop
a little bit easier if you're Utah. So I could
probably build a case if I really wanted to to
play this game over with job back, because Utah is
not going to stop anybody from scoring. But the number
is up there ski to forty three and a half,
and you know, the road with a road team that
has not scored consistently enough to although I'll say this, boy,
you look at their game logs and they can give
up one thirty in an instant, Hutah can and you
don't have to do much as the road underdog here
to get it up and over at that point. So
it would be the only way I look. I would
have to look Memphis Utah over the total here or
else just not play all right.
Speaker 1: Over the total. I can understand that as well. Yeah,
I think it's moving in the right direction. I agree
with that. Play on over. I will write that on
my shortlist. Actually, so my bad here, give me Utah
over or on the short list? All right, Nets and
mass this is the game I'm pretty interested in here
opened up minus seven looks like eight pretty much everywhere.
Total open two twenty four and a half, down as
low as two twenty one and a half for Brooklyn,
No high Smith, still no camp Thomas. For Dallas, you
have Dangelow, Russell questionable, Daniel Gafford doubtfo still no Kyrie
for them. Man, you know this one it is for me.
It just boils down to I don't view Dallas as
this kind of a team to be laying eight points.
I don't really care who it's against, unless maybe it's
the Wigards. Maybe they deserve but I don't know. The Nets.
I feel like they've been playing solid basketball lately, or
at least, you know, better basketball than they have earlier
in the season lately. And the Mavericks they're zero to
five as a own favorite this year, they're gonna have
to show me that they can win by margin that
they ferreed it out. I think combination of those things.
Just it's Nets or nothing for me at plus eight.
How do you feel about this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Just I mean to put even more context to
your point, this is a Dallas team that actually was
an eight or something point favorite over New Orleans on
this floor in New Orleans in a back to back situation,
and New Orleans won the game straight up. So they
talk about untrustworthy.
Speaker 1: Oh Dallas, Yeah, I remember that game. Actually now you
say that, right, Yeah, I mean you can't.
Speaker 2: That's at that time and maybe still is.
Speaker 3: I think New Orleans is a little better now than
they were then, But that might have been one of
the worst teams in the NBA and Dallas couldn't even
win a game straight up, But that when I have
notice to your ski.
Speaker 2: What I went over some stuff this morning was six
and oh to the over is the Dallas team total
in their last six games. So they've been scoring a
little bit better. You know, we talked about or we
talk about their bigs being an asset, but when you
don't have Lively or Gaffard and all you have is
a D who the only thing I read about a
d nowadays is where he's going to get traded to.
There's not a lot of protection at the rim for
them either. So Brooklyn, in all likelihood, I think can
stay in this game. I think your points will taken.
You can't trust Dallas laying a number like this. We
just laid up the reason why the question becomes do
I think the game is an over or an under?
And Dallas's team total kind of suggests to me, and
especially since they have no rim protection on the other side,
or limited rim protection on the other side, that maybe
this line has moved in the wrong direction where total
is concerned. Dallas has been scoring good enough lately and
the nets seem like, don't get theirs here too, so
that might be one I end up playing Dallas.
Speaker 1: I can't understand. I don't want to. I'm leave the
total to you. B Man says mav has been playing
good last five. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that, Rob.
You know, but the nets have to I mean next
one three the last five games. You know that's playing
alright too. It's it's these eight points we gotta worry
about here. If it's maths that ye, there's the equalizer,
this mass pick them. Okay, we're talking a different game here,
but plus eight I think they can be competitive. Also,
you know that game we were talking about. It might
have been after that game. Maybe it's another one. But
nim Har was saying, I think we're trying to give
a d the ball too much. I just you didn't
hear that one.
Speaker 2: No, that point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to give ad the ball too much.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I don't like Dallas in this game. It's
it's next plus eight for me, next one up, last one.
In the NBA, Wolves and Warriors open the Warriors minus two,
see one and a half. Most places total open two
twenty seven and a half. That's how it's two thirty
one and a half. Looking at the injury report, Anthony
Edwards is questionable. Colony's out, no Draymond, no Horford, Jackson
Davis is probable. You would hate to be missing two
bigs versus Minnesota team. It's the first thing I think
about here for the Warriors. But if the if Minnesota
is minus Anthony Edwards, I mean missing a big chunk
of offense versus four years team as well. If Anthony
was placed, you know, obviously I think, well, here's here's
what I'm thinking. You know, the Wolves ended the Warrior
season last year, and I just know teams always remember that,
and you know, when they stick it back to you know,
stick it back to him the next time they see him.
Warriors at home. Minnesota has not been good on the
road this season, at least as far as ats. I know.
This one is just to pick them Minnesota. I feel
like they beat up on the less stands and even
they've been playing the less stands and not covering lately.
I feel like Minnesota has just been a fade lately, honestly,
but they have. They've been sneaking away with some wins
and not covering. Then they finally caught up and I
think they lost their last game in the Phoenix. I
think the Warriors come with the greater energy from the gate.
I think it's Warrior's first half, and I think it's
Warriors full game. I haven't got there yet, but that's
my thoughts.
Speaker 2: You know what, do you think I could see it,
especially if Anthony Edwards doesn't go. I mean, Minnesota is
one of those teams ski that I mean, we kind
of put Denver in that basket of teams that just
you know, they score. Minnesota scored real well, just don't
stop anybody anymore. It's like they could care less on
the defensive end at this point in time. That's why
they don't get a lot of covers because they they're
still priced kind of in the premium range. But well,
let's go ahead, let's let's use your adage here. If
you can't get stops, we can't trust you. This game
doesn't land in that type of point spread. But I'm
just trying to point out where Minnesota sits right now.
They sit as a team that can score and doesn't
really defend. For Golden State, it's probably going to have
to be a game where they want the point. They
want the scoreboard to be higher. I think this game
is going to go over. I think Golden State with
I mean without Dreymondo, without Forford. It's just the defensive
capacity on that side of the Floyd, just to me,
is not really good. So for Golden State, it's got
to be a one to twenty four plus point effort
out of them tonight, which you can get to against Minnesota.
They allow a lot of people to get more than
their share of points. I would look either Golden State
team total over or a full game over. Probably more
full game over, but I stopped there because Anthony Edwards
if he doesn't play, I don't know if I want
to be on full game over. In that case, I
would lean towards the solo team total of Golden State.
I think that's the side I would go to. Here.
Just don't see a lot of Minnesota's defense at this
point in time, and I think Golden State's going to
play really fast basketball tonight and probably score on Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I can agree with that. It definitely seems like more
of an over game, especially without some of those bigspert
the Warriors, They're gonna have to score. I agree with that,
all right, that's the NBA car for today. You know,
you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Lately,
I've been getting the football a little bit later, and
it's been working out for me. I've just been focusing
more on basketball throughout the week, and you know, it's
been working working well for me. But I mean, we
do usually talk about a little bit of NFL Week fifteen,
So I'm gonna just scroll down the list and talk
about a few games that maybe jump out to me. Actually,
I think I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to your
ear boys first. How about that we already uh we
just saw my guys on Monday, your guys Denver and
green Bay. I think that's a pretty good game right there.
That one open minus one for green Bay looks like
two or two and a half auto went from forty
one and a half as high as you know, I
see forty two and a half pretty much everywhere. Denver
the their top team in the league so far this season,
as far as record wise, eleven and two. I believe
haven't lost so far at home, if I'm not mistaken.
How many games have they won in a row? I mean,
they won, they won a lot of games in a
row too, nine ten games in a row, something like that.
I don't know, they're underdogs. Is Denver being disrespected here? Yeah,
it's Denver being disrespected. What do you I know you
usually like Denver to do versus the less Dands. What
do you think they're going to do versus green Bay
this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean if I played them, it wouldn't be
based on their offense. But I agree with you. I
was kind of shocked that they were listed as a
home underdog and green Bay took a little bit of
money on top of that, not a lot, but a
little bit of money towards the green Bay side. I
will say again that I don't know what everybody's so
impressed with the green Bay Packers. I know they're getting wins.
You know, they're nine to four I think straight up,
and they've gotten Josh Jacobs. The last couple of weeks
has gotten untracked a little bit, But they didn't play
a clean second half last week in Chicago, and they
played half a football game. You played really good in
the first half and you say, Wow, green Bay's good,
and then you watch the second half you're like, Nah,
maybe they're not that good. If Denver was any better offensively,
I would like them a little bit more. My inclination
is to play under in this game. The weather's going
to be pretty good, surprisingly for Denver Colorado in December,
so weather won't be a problem in this game. But
I think I thought forty two and a half was
a little high. Denver's pass rush is crazy good, and
Jordan Love will make mistakes if you get to him,
and of course Bo Knicks will make mistakes if you
get to him as well. Maybe not turnover wise, but
poor passes take he doesn't take sacks, he'll do the
wrong thing with the football. So I would probably look
under ski I didn't bet it. I am a little
bit shocked at green base given the points here. I
think if you have to play a side, I would
take Denver plus, and probably you wouldn't even take the plus.
I'd probably just play a money line on their home field.
To win a game, both teams need to win There's
no more incentive for one side than the other here.
The only thing is it's a non conference game, which
doesn't factor into tie breakers.
Speaker 1: I understand why you feel that way. Justin Coland feels
that way too. I mean it seems pretty easy to
go to the window, and but the Broncos, I think
majority of people are going to do that. I'm not
going to do that. I'm pretty sure I will be
on the Packers in this game. I'm pretty certain this
Broncos team they're not that good. They're fraud They're not
that good. They've been teetering on the loss and all
of these wins, like if I just pull up, let
me pull up their schedule, actually that game. I mean
all of these games. I don't even have to point
out one. They've been so close to just losing every
single week. I feel like Broncos are overrated, you know.
I think it's pretty telling where the line is at
right now. So I like the Packers. I'll disagree with
you on this one, Ravino, I'm gonna call you a
homer in this one.
Speaker 2: Save some money here. Yeah, there's no affection for me
with that offensive Denver and Sean Payton's play calling for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about my boys, the Chargers coming
off that win. That was a nice win. In that
last one. I did have them. Now they go into
Kansas City to face the Chiefs. Open the minus four
and a half for Kansas City up to five and
a half, maybe might go towards six. Total came down
from forty four and a half to forty one and
a half. I can understand why the totals come down
and the city so banged up. I mean, the offensive
line is just as banged up as the Chargers. Right,
It's gonna either have to be quick passes and yards
after catch or for my homes and probably for the
Chargers too if they elect to pass, or it's gonna
be a heavy run game. And I do trust the
Chargers to run on the Chiefs, you know how. I
keep saying the Chargers definitely can run block, they cannot
pass protect, and you have two good running backs there,
you know, to do the job for the Chargers. So
if I think the path is both teams running the ball,
it's a lot tiktick tick tick tick tick. So I
pretty much agree with the line the total coming down,
And man, I want to say Kansas.
Speaker 2: City is dead.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just they're too banged up. I feel
like I've seen enough and you know that's my guy
too over there, Mahomes. But I think it's time to
throw in the flag. What do you think here between
Chiefs and Chargers.
Speaker 2: Well, situationally, first off, it's more difficult for LA right
they played Monday night. Now they got a short work week,
go play Kansas City, a team who, like you say,
they're not mathematically eliminated, but they're very close to being
mathematically eliminated. So this is their last gas effort right here.
Chargers are four and out inside the division. They win
this and they end up in some kind of tie
with Denver, they'll win the tiebreaker, but Kansas City's defensive
front should be able to do some damage Ski. The
Eagles didn't have Jalen Carter Monday night, and it seemed
to me Justin Herbert with that bad left hand, was
running for his life the whole game. I think he
had like ten or eleven carries. Every time he dropped back,
he was under siege. So I think Case's going to
get to the quarterback here. Chargers will have to run.
They didn't do a great job of it against the Eagles.
Five field goals and the one in overtime that wins it.
But if you turn it the other way, just flip
it over. I think you said it already. Kansas City's
offensive line can't protect my homes at all.
Speaker 3: In LA can come.
Speaker 2: After U two. They came after Jalen Hurts, and that
game that we watched Monday night, to me looks very
similar to this one that we're going to see on
Sunday after almost the same thing. Nobody can block, nobody
can protect who's going to make the big play for
the Eagles. They got the fifty two yard run out
of Saquan, but the Chargers fought it off on their
home field. And it's going to be like thirteen degrees
here in this game, which may affect the bad hand
end of Herbert more than it would Mahomes, that quarterback.
I guess that's where I have to come down on
this game, is do I think that Patrick Mahomes can
make more plays under pressure than justin Herbert can tough decision?
But maybe I would lean Kansas City. But there's nothing
that they've done recently that suggests that they're going to
win a game like this, So we'll see how it goes.
It's a difficult game to play, probably under what's the
total in this game.
Speaker 1: By the way, forty one and a half that came
down from forty four and a half.
Speaker 2: It still seems high. Ski twenty four to seventeen, you
still win if you're betting on under. It for one
of these teams to get to twenty four might be
a miracle. What do we see Monday night? It was
twenty two to nineteen? Is that right? Forty one got
all kinds of field goals in that game. I think
under might be the best play here, tell you the truth.
People have gotten to it and made the number a
little bit less valuable. But a lot of games land
on forty one.
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know, all right, kind of we kind
of agree on that game. Detroit and the Rams just
Rams open four and a half and is up to
six total, up from fifteen and a half to fifty five.
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 1: I just think the Rams are better. I just think
the Rams are better. That's just it is what it is.
And the Rams can do whatever they want with a
banged up Detroit team. I feel like, just like almost
like Kansas City, maybe not as extreme, but Detroit just
two banged up and Rams have too many weapons. It's
Rams are nothing for me in that one. How do
you feel, well?
Speaker 2: I mean, Detroit and they're banged up in bad places
banged up where they're you know, their strength lives in
the offensive line that's banged up, and they're banged up
in the secondary, and you just don't want to play
Kua and Devonte Adams and Stafford in that passing game
right now. Detroit the past couple of weeks, they can't
stop anybody, and I don't know how they're going to
stop the Rams. The question is can Detroit score with them?
And you know, the Rams pass rush is so good
Ski that front seven is so good that there's gonna be,
in my estimation, at least at least two to three
more possessions where the Rams stop Detroit and Detroit can't
stop the Rams. And so when you start adding stuff
up like that, you say two to three possessions, what
does that worth? It's probably worth seven points. We're only
laying six six and a half, so I would be
on Rams. I think Rams total is probably good. I
don't see Detroit holding anybody under thirty in their current state.
So there's a couple of ways that I'll be looking
at that. But certainly the Rams look like a good
side of team that needs to win. They're both desperate
and boyd Detroit rich Scott weaponry. But I don't know.
People have bet this thing to fifty five for a reason. Obviously,
I'm going to see a lot of points here, probably rams,
maybe a little ramped team total.
Speaker 1: All right, you know, maybe this will be the last
one here Buffalo and New England. I feel like Buffalo
definitely needs wins. I mean, I think buff actually, no,
Buffalo can still win the division, right They need to
win this game though, So it's a huge game. The
question is our question for me at least is as
a New England. I mean, they did be Buffalo earlier
in the season, but I mean it's Buffalo even good.
This year's Buffalo really is good. That's the question. I'm
not sure New England. Have they just been you know,
benefits of an easy schedule. Absolutely, this is a tough game.
For that reason. I can understand why the total is
going up a little bit there. I want to say,
I trust Josh Allen Moore and I trust Jake may
Drake May so I'll lean right now. I guess Bills
and Over this game is tough. Any thoughts from.
Speaker 2: You, Yeah, situational, I think you would lean on Buffalo
reasons you described it really I mean New England's three,
you know in a division, Like you say, if Buffalo
loses this game, there is no divisional hope. And if
I look really quick here at conference standings, they're six
right now. A loss probably kicks them out of playoff
the playoff race for at least a week. There's a
couple of eighty five's behind them. But you could argue
the fact that Buffalo was lucky to win last week.
Joe Burrow was absolutely dominant in the snow. I think
it was like twenty two for twenty six at one
point against the defense. And if it isn't for a
couple of freakish tipped passes that Buffalo picked off in
the fourth quarter almost within like two minutes of each other,
Buffalo doesn't even win that game thirty nine to thirty four.
In the final, the one thing Buffalo can do, really,
really well is run the football. They might be one
of the best running teams where they are one of
the best running teams in the NFL. And I think
where New England's defense is concerned, been more worried about
their past defense this season in their run defense, So
Buffalo into a New England strength. I think The point here, Ski,
is that situationally it all adds up for Buffalo. Fundamentally
it kind of leans towards New England and they're the
home team here, makes it real tough. I don't know.
I wouldn't talk to anybody off either side, but I
don't think I'll play.
Speaker 1: All right. You know, I think we did a pretty
good job here. Unless there's anything else you would like
to talk about in the NFL enough full movie right along?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what. I'll say this guys over at
wager talk dot com and we're off with win last night,
but I do have another big play up and available there.
We won't talk about it here, but have been running
really really good in NFL. This is kind of promo
on top of everything else. Sorry about that the bad
out of line here, out of order, but go ahead
and pick that up at wager talk dot com. I
don't see another game here, Ski that really. I'll say this.
I'll say this real quick for those watching the Minnesota
Dallas game on Sunday night. To me, now that CDE
Lamb has been cleared is a I don't know. I
don't know if I should use this phrase, but I'll
use it anyway looks to me like a dead nuts
over forty seven and a half in a Dallas game
when Dallas is at home, the way they score at home,
and Steeddee Lamb's gonna play and JJ McCarthy and company
looked a little bit more settled in offensively last week.
So to me, I would say very quickly that the
Minnesota Dallas is a game that appeals to me, that
can going over forty seven and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd probably just I'm knowing, you know, the Cowboys
this year, I'll just not that they can't go over,
but I would just chopping in half and do the
first half. But good stuff for Ravino. Before we go
to best bets, Let's go ahead and put some of
that stuff we usually do put up here, and we'll
start with Weekend Warrior. If you will like every football
play you know Saturday, Sunday and Monday night football, including
five percents, you can get them for only forty nine dollars.
If you're looking for some basketball and get the full
court All Access pass, that is three days of NBA
and college basketball for only forty nine bucks, you can
go long term get five hundred bucks off of one
year past that comes out to just one twenty five
a month. And if you pick up Robno for a year,
for example, you'll get a twenty five percent bonus coupon
that you can use on myself. And yeah, I think
that that kind of wraps up that promo. So best bets,
I'm gonna pass it right back to you, Rob. You know,
if there's anything else you'd like to promote, go for it.
If you have a best bet for the show, we'd
love to hear it.
Speaker 2: All Right, I used up my promotion time. I'm done
with that. You know what, Ski, I didn't really I
don't think I let anybody in any type of good
direction in the NBA today. So what I'll do is
I'll leave you a best bet on a college basketball
game that I played tonight. I know it's a little
random we're going off the board on an NBA show here,
but Xavier plays at home against Missouri State tonight. I
won't quit the firm detail here, but they are a
team under Richard Patino that's been better and better and
better as the games go by. Their team total is
eighty three and a half tonight. That game I haven't
played already it is a client selection over eighty three
and a half. So I'll leave you that as a
best bet here Today's Xavier out of College Hoop for
those who do play their team total eighty three and
a half up and over tonight in that game.
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff for Ravino and for myself. I
will go ahead and go with you know, talk it
out here on the show, opening up my wallet. We're
gonna go with the Nets plus the eight points. Just
Dallas just not a believer and then being a favorite,
especially this big They've covered zero out of five games
as a home favorite so far this year. I understand
they've been playing a little bit better, but you know,
a combination of that and you know, I mentioned in
the comments from them hard about we're trying to get
Anthony Davis wall too much. I just don't don't think
everything is quite where they needed to be chemistry wise
right there yet. So I like the Nets plus all
those points. I think they can keep this one respectable
as my best bet for the show. You know, I
always appreciate you taking the time to do the show
with me. Helps my process. I'm sure it helps everybody
else as well. People out there in the chat. We
appreciate you tapping in, sharing your insight, you know, helping
everybody get to the window. And appreciate you guys supporting
the show. If you get the like buddon we youd
appreciate it. Best of luck everybody on all your action tonight.
We'll be back on Monday and we will catch you
all then
