[Music] baby we new lab yeah yeah come on yeah come on now this the black sheep sticking it homeb I need a crib like I'm Gat just understand to prove I ain't got compete ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the number one sports Ben Vibe on the planet boom veterans minimum at veterans minimum all things veterans minimum God we look good man that's what a great Cup by Brian Brian is learning a thing or two in there he is after all this time he's sharp yeah shout out to Brian one time good job Brian you know you figur the Rings might weigh his fingers down I always wonder that about your technical directors but Brian not only looks fashionable on the hands but he's quick with the hands too yeah that's good on him yeah I always I describe Brian to people I'm like yo our Tech guy is a [ __ ] wizard he is yeah he was measuring stuff literally 2 minutes before the show started I'm imagining he's this is just him like he he thought about it on the drive over I got to measure that I got to be the best technical director uh on the planet so that's what they do that's what good technical directors do shout out to Brian man one time for the one time man let's go let's go let's dive into the show though man actually first of all let me ask you this let me ask you this um give me your thoughts on overreactions the episode right what uh did you get any crazy feedback from what we were talking about was there anything that jumped out to you after recording cuz sometimes we'll finish recording and then something will cross my mind and I'm like damn I wish I would have said that any anything you want to um from this past Monday's episode from the Monday the fact that we didn't talk about Tyreek Hill is kind of crazy that part like as I was driving home I was like and I was speeding a little bit I was like oh my God I could have what Tyreek Hill had happen yeah right now did you watch the body cam footage I did yeah the officer was Cuban bro bad look for the people had that been uh uh Yan Carlos Stanton uh four years ago or whenever he was playing in Miami dude he he doesn't get a ticket he doesn't get detained Tyreek Hill though I mean that Cuban officer didn't give a [ __ ] yeah it it was it was a nasty video man it was uh you know the thing that really upset me the most bro is especially nowadays it's there's such a wild divide just in general with everything um I know we said that the show is going to be a lot different this year there's not going to be politic talks not that no whoa whoa whoa got arrested this is this is we're not we're not doing that we're not doing that but I will say it was just it's just unfortunate man that whenever you have an incident like that or just anything there's no like people can't just say yo that was kind of crazy that that happened right like there's there's people saying oh no Tyreek was out of line it's like bro it's [ __ ] excessive [ __ ] right 100% and from what I understand you don't have to have your window roll down like after you you could like talk through the window I didn't know bro there's certain things about cops that I don't know yeah yeah I don't even know if what I'm saying is true that's that's the that's why we stay out of this [ __ ] in the first place but it yeah it was wild it was wild and yo I I will say I feel like the way he hand he's handled it since hats off to him cuz he easily could have just been up there and and like just dumped on the cops and he say you know in in the future it's something he would like to do I don't know if that's really true oh it's not true Nick Nick Nick I don't I don't think that's something that uh he's going to entertain in the future but I think the way he handled it in post it could have been a lot worse um but yeah man it's just a sad situation and you got to imagine like bro that's Tyreek Hill that's that's the face of Miami sports right now imagine if it wasn't Tyreek and to see that happen that's the thing that was really sad and unfortunate man but I'm glad it didn't it didn't get too crazy because it could have gotten way worse yeah um but yeah it was kind of a Power Trip too from uh your people yeah from a crazy Cuban bro a Cuban in Miami yes he's probably seen some stuff too bro no Cubans love America more than Cubans that are in Miami yeah they love America and they do not care about American football at all that's a that's a fact yeah and and yo also last thing on that man I loved I loved how he handled it uh during the game too like you know he scored the touchdown and then he had the celebration it was it was perfect you know a lot of the sports books got crushed in week one from a anytime touchdown scorer standpoint like a lot of the obvious guys scored touchdowns in week one Tyreek Hill Justin Jefferson Cooper cup saquan Barkley Jonathan Taylor uh Josh Allen scored like a lot of the guys you would expect would score scored and then if you go even back a week ago to the Thursday night football game a lot of boosts on first TD score Derrik Henry and he scored the first touchdown the same thing with saquan and it's a market that kind of saved my week one you know went two and three against the spread um couple of couple of plays I felt really good about crashed and burned and then the ones that I was kind of hesitant on were the ones that end up covering and it's funny how sometimes you'll go into weeks and say bro I love this play yeah and then it doesn't deliver but anytime touchdown I went five of six the only one I missed on was Marvin Harrison Jr and they keep showing that [ __ ] highlight and it's frustrating cuz I'm like y i get it bro I get it right we we'll talk about Marvin in a little bit yes we will yeah man I just wanted to to to ask you that question before we started recording um you know when you said the obvious people scoring touchdowns week one uh you know who didn't score a touchdown week one that was kind of shocking Christian mcaffrey Christian mcaffrey yeah uh it's kind of hard to score a touchdown in Street close yeah um it's kind of impossible actually so he ruined a lot of people's anytime touchdown parlay going into a Monday how sick would you be going five legs through a a six-leg parlay you have Christian mcaffrey and then hours before the game you get told he's not playing do you think do you think you can make like a petition to see if you can get your money back so I think in scenarios like that they get voided okay I think if you don't play but again you know it it's something I tell a lot of people man and I'm L posting about and there was an incident in the UFC a couple months ago that I was on the wrong wrong side of it and of course you always remember it when it doesn't go in your favor so what happened a couple months ago was Chris Chris Weidman was fighting Bruno Silva and he gets a third round stoppage in which there was a I poke or a low blow I don't exactly remember what it was but that led to the stoppage the announcer reads the scorecard as Chris widman third round stoppage TKO some sports books paid that out if you had Chris Weidman by Finnish if you had Chris Weidman by TKO if you had third round props they paid you out other sports books didn't and there's rules you need to read with the sports books and it's very important cuz bro no one ever reads any of the disclaimers yeah no come on what do you do when you get the thing that says agree to terms and conditions you hit the check you scroll all the way down until it gives you the option to to check it and then hit next yeah a lot of these Sports books though they have rules and regulations in place that say in MMA for example it's whatever is read in the cage is the official decision MH then they got overturned by the commissions to a no contest and I ended up getting losses on my I didn't even get them voided so there are certain scenarios there was the famous Draymond Green story where he played I think 30 seconds because there was like a consecutive streak or there was something going on and then and then he got pulled and there was some Insider information that people knew this was going to happen and they were same game parlaying under under under under on everything get like a 8 to1 payout and then it came out like yeah I was only doing it because it was Clay's I think it was Clay's return game he just wanted to be active for mhm so it gets suspect you need to read these rules cuz some sports books would pay it out some sports books now it's they have to play a certain amount of time right like for for an NFL game to be graded I believe it's 55 minutes of game time so if the game the game goes into the third quarter and then there's a crazy thunderstorm then those tickets get voided but if it's you know four minutes left in the fourth quarter and there's a thunderstorm well that's the official grade so it's very important man you have to be reading these rules and regulations even though it sucks and I'll be honest I don't always do it until I get [ __ ] over the way I did and then I'm going back and I'm like oh my God what is happening yeah bro right so with Christian mcaffrey he doesn't play as high as minus 300 to score a touchdown um which is a crazy price to be paying true it's a very volatile thing to be laying three to one on a guy to score a touchdown it' be interesting what was his first time touchdown do you know uh I think I saw like plus plus 300 plus 280 maybe I mean that's the play if you're making any right at that point it's the same thing I do with big favorites in fighting if a guy isus 18800 and I see his submission prop is minus 150 but his TKO is plus 300 I'm betting the plus 300 just playing the numbers there it's a minus 18800 favorite I'm going just take the chance and it's happened with Bo nickel right I had bo nickel one time to win by TKO 3 to1 he was minus 20 800 I got lucky there CU all his wins were by submission but that's the thing with playing the numbers there you just try to find a good number and you try to play the numbers in certain scenarios right like you obviously know this guy's going to go out there and stch this dude true but that's how you do it so in regards to your question I know I kind of went long with it there no but it was very important because uh it should get voided if he doesn't play the casinos do have the final say even if it's not in the terms and conditions based on what I was told by a gambling lawyer it's like there's nothing that you can do they make their own rules they're governed by their own body um and that's why when it comes to a situation like this a lot of people get screwed out um I I asked you I was like do you think this Chris mcaffrey thing is illegal like is it illegal to withhold this information um from the public all the way up until game time he was nowhere on any of the injury reports so there's a lot right because I was I was posting about this when Jordan Mason kind of snitched on the team in the postgame interview 100% did they asked him when did you know you were going to start and he said oh Friday that triggered everybody look I love the NFL the the NFL at its core is the backbone of all the success I've had in content creating however there's not a more hypocritical League I think ever they love we're pro player SA safety let's play on Thursday right uh we're pro player safety um let's uh you pass a concussion protocol even though we kind of know you're [ __ ] up it's okay you'll go back in there right there there's a lot of things the the contracts aren't guaranteed which is a big one so a guy that's making that's on a rookie deal he's undrafted and he has a stinger he can't afford to not play because he has to go out there and then what happens he runs the risk of getting hurt and making it even worse there's so many things right that's wrong with the NFL and we can't be naive and ignorant when it comes to the NFL in sports betting for the longest time they neglected it for the longest time you weren't allowed to say that oh they're a three-point favorite you had to have loopholes in the conversations on game shows saying ah they're going to win by two scores yep and you know that the line is minus 7 you're like oh George on TV who's the sports betting guy is telling me they're gonna win by two scores okay let me take the Bears minus seven yeah or they'll say ah I think it's going to be a field goal game let me take the Packers plus seven I mean so hypocritical to the point where we never thought a professional sport team would end up in the city of Las Vegas bro hold on the gambling capital of the world that that's that's the top one yes what about now every Network that covers the NFL you have to have the point spread on you have to talk about props and yard yard totals and over unders there there's live odds that flash through the broadcasting why is that the NFL is the number one league in the country by a landslide like if you look at the top 10 the neelen ratings you look at the top 10 list every year hell if you go top 25 bro it's like 23 of the 25 are NFL related and then there's like a random maybe American Idol finale yeah it has to be some a debate right it's you know a famous show has its like series finale you know [ __ ] like that yeah House of dragon or sh dude even like the NFL draft like beats the NBA Finals yeah so it's the number one league in the country and now every every NFL team has a deal with a sports book true so I say all that this is a wild story to have break because if they knew that he was out from Friday which they did because we have the source he was told it the person who replaced him told guy who replaced them told us you're you're walking a fine line where you're pissing off a lot of people there's a lot of money involved in this um the reason why some of these contracts these players are getting why the league is making more money why the TV deals are are going through the roof is because you have that influence man I've told this story so many times I'll never forget bro back in like 2016 2017 I think it was 2016 cuz I've told you I used to play daily fantasy yeah and and I had one season where I won like close to like $70,000 I thought I was going to be a professional DFS player like I was all in I would definitely think that too after 70k it was it was wild it was the greatest stretch ever I fixed my parents like bathroom uh fixed my dad's teeth fixed the basement got a new puppy shout out to Jazzy I got the puppy um just mad [ __ ] B sneakers like the whole nine right and I remember that year there was a Thursday night football game and I was watching it and I think was like Titans Jaguars and I know that's like the running joke like Titans Jaguars but I'm pretty sure it was a Titans Jaguars game and it wasn't a ridiculous score and my mom just came in and she was like yo why are you watching this I was like you know she's like what' you bet on is it fantasy implications and that always resonated with me it's like yo that's the only reason why I'm watching this game 100% and a lot of it too man like one of the reasons why I don't I truly don't like going to football games cuz it takes away from your comfort ability and I guess the being able to see multiple games at once too first of all this is what we do now right like content creators we talk about the NFL so I want to have my eyes on all the games I like having my laptop open I could look at live lines I could look at my fantasy team there's a lot of [ __ ] going on that I want to be monitoring and then when I'm there I feel like the TV product is also amazing right you have your Red Zone you have your Direct TV you have all the [ __ ] that you're doing all YouTube yeah YouTube rip Rip but it's it's the product has gotten so bad but I also think that a lot of it man it's it's the sports betting and I know we've kind of went on a couple of different tangents but I like saying Controlled Chaos this thing with mcaffrey you're walking off F line dude you know a lot there there are there's a lot of people that think this [ __ ] is all rigged and uh it's fixed and when you have things like this it's kind of sketchy man you you can't you can't be withholding information like that from the public and then to tie it into the Monday night football game this is why it's very important to understand betting lines you know that the line didn't move on this game mcaffrey got ruled out it stayed at three and a half it's crazy it dropped down to minus three San Francisco because people were hammering the Jets and then what happens now is whatever your perception of mcaffry was and look offensive player of the year we love mcaffrey he's a white running back there's there's not many hey he's doing well he's doing well right and and look he's a he's one of the best players in the league but what this shows you now is is if mcaffrey is out don't adjust your ratings and your power rankings for the 49ers this dude came in had over 140 yards from scrimmage violated the Jets scored touchdowns you didn't even realize that mcaffrey wasn't playing and now it tells you what the Vegas sports books value mcaffrey when he's out especially now that you've seen the replacement if the replacement went in there and had two fumbles had 13 carries for 40 yards and it looked bad now you're like oh [ __ ] you know what when mcaffry is not in there it's a two-point swing it's worth it it's worth it yeah I think yeah the the books at that moment in time they were also handcuffed I mean you got to think they're getting the information at the same time too if they make a crazy over reaction like it hurts their bottom line they had a lot of action on that game I would imagine I mean you're talking M hundreds of millions of dollars that are are being thrown into that Monday Night Football game so I wouldn't necessarily expect a game that has that much action on it to move a substantial amount like even if it was okay so if it was Brock py do you think it moves oh yeah totally well that's the thing it's the quarterback that moves it m like and especially a couple years ago um Dak Prescott got hurt in week one and then he didn't play week two and they were playing the Bengals at home and they went from a three-point favorite Dallas was at home in week two to a seven-point underdog and the backup was Cooper rush and and I remember being on the show I'm pretty sure I was in Vegas at the time being on the show saying hey Cowboys plus seven and they're going to win outright and I think they won by a field goal and it's because you seen the quarterback before right you've seen the backup come in that's why it's the quarterback is the only one that really matters and then there's a couple guys TJ watt if he's not in yeah that's going to skew the line or at least it should because I think there's some ridiculous number that they're like one and 16 without him in the lineup and they give up like 70 more yards when he's not on the field it's just these ridiculous Trends and then when when you think about it uh with with this Jordan Mason stuff you know he said that he didn't like he didn't like the question and the information must be credible and accurate and timely uh said someone from the league about the injury report and again you always hear this right the Integrity of the League it's the Integrity of the league that gets questioned when you have things like this yeah that's why you have to I mean I guess mo i in the NFL there's so many story lines you know this is going to be lost in the shuffle and literally 72 hours we're going to completely have forgotten about this because he will have been cleared to play by that point in time um but if he didn't like you were saying before the the 49ers are fine Brock py I I think this is the season where I stop hating I think I've been a very I've been a brock py hater Yeah Yeah couple people in the Discord have felt that way too shouts to Mark uh Mark in the Discord is like yo George better start paying some [ __ ] respect you know what respect respect is paid uh because what he did to that that Jets defense I I think it's part Shanahan system and when you have bro months to prepare for this game I I would take Shanah hand over uh Salah any day of the week um so that didn't necessarily surprise me that it was that lob sided but he made all the all the right plays I think are you worried about the Jets because Jordan Mason gets 140 plus yards and there was really never a point in time in that game where you didn't feel like the 49ers were not going to win it yeah I know they were my Super Bowl pick so maybe people are saying I'm just saying this because I'm biased um by the way a lot of people think I'm a Jets fan because I'm from New York I'm not I'm a Jets fan this year though well maybe because I am like I'm I'm starting this campaign every time that you talk bad about the Giants I'm going to just do the the carousel post Giants fans are dumb that's probably why bro they're like he's moved on yeah yeah yeah it's I got out that toxic relationship um ironically enough right it's it's the only thing that you could be in [ __ ] relationship and you're kind of tied to it for the rest of your life being a Giants fan no being a sports fan being a sports fan yeah like a real sports fan no matter how bad it gets like like I like to tell girls I'm like my best quality is that I'm loyal and they're like it's a red flag when a guy says that they're loyal say no no I've been a Mets and nicks fan my whole life it's been pain right it's been a lot of pain and I am I'm going down with the ship I'm no man is an island I'm going down with them and if the girl doesn't understand that she's not the one she's not the one yeah you got to understand you got to understand like Giants and Mets what is that it shows character bro like as the one thing I used to say as a Mets fan and I still do it's like it was so easy to be a Yankee fan growing up bro of course you got Jeter pada Mo pet it like they were winning right the Pinstripes are [ __ ] iconic dude like being a Mets fan is [ __ ] lame it sucks I would say yo it develops character you know that I am down for the Long Haul I am loyal I have perseverance and and when it gets ugly the boy ain't leaving that's my uh that should be my hinge bile yeah and if you don't get this move on move on Boom move on uh with the Jets though right it's over for them they got the ball ran think so they got the ball ran all over uh all over the field by somebody that we didn't even know 48 hours ago and it just gives me the remnants of uh same old Jets no so I I I strongly disagree I think I feel better about them losing that game than I did going into the season and here's why Aaron Rogers looks good man he made a couple of throws that you're saying to yourself okay this is he still got it you still got it bum Bumm bum you still got it it that that that was my takeaway uh Garrett Wilson caught like four passes on that that opening drive that they scored a touchdown there their their touchdown that they scored on uh he made a throw to Alan Lazar that I think no Jets fan has ever seen their quarterback complete like down the sideline um Aaron Rogers made Alan Lazard competent like he was like the number one waiver guy in all of fantasy football this week and dude they lost best team in the league best team this team just went to the Super if I'm a Jets fan I feel good that all right Rogers took a couple hits he's fine um more than a couple yeah he took a lot of hits yeah and look Bree Hall didn't get the the job done in week one but that's also a good team if they would have lost to the Giants or to the Raiders or to to the Panthers I'd be like holy [ __ ] them winning the Super Bowl is [ __ ] ridiculous but dude they were uh four and a half Point Underdog they were plus 180 on the money line it was expected for them to lose I know it was my favorite pick of the week last week and it didn't hit but I feel good about it man I I I like what I saw and you lost to a really good team right do you feel how do you feel about Baltimore cuz they lost to the Chiefs they're 0 and one but I feel I actually I feel about Baltimore is that it's the same Baltimore until proven otherwise so they're going to be fine though they're going to be fine but they are gonna rely on Lamar Jackson to do everything right and same thing that situation that the bills are in sure but I feel I feel better about these teams having lost because I took a lot out of that I'm a I'm a glass half full kind of guy anyway but I think it was promising and look man you lost to the ners bro you're going to lose to good teams it was their home opener Monday Night Football my concerns was coming into the year was the coaching and I feel like the coach sucks like Robert Salah is this defensive guy and the defense got carved up mhm and they didn't have their best player but again also I got to take a step back and say Kyle Shanahan is what the best coach in the league second definitely a top three coach in the league yeah so if I'm a Jets fan i' I'd feel I feel good about it this next week is I guess the biggest week in Jets football history nah I don't get that crazy why why you say that cuz if you they go 0 and2 versus the Tennessee Titans I know they're on the road but they're favorites yeah I mean it just doesn't seem like they've uh done what it takes to like Elevate themselves past like what the public perception is I mean yes we're we're giving you a pass with the 49ers if the Titans beat them yeah it's panic button oh no yes or no no no 100% yeah it's a different conversation come Monday everything I just spent five minutes on if they lose to Tennessee yeah then it's then it's same old Jets what were we thinking M but if you are the Jets and you'll hear them when we get to our game picks this is a game you go out there and you win by double digits that's what I was hoping if you want to be taken seriously right we talk about this all the time the prime time Factor we saw them Ling Prime Time some people don't feel the way I do same old Jets like you you feel same old Jets I don't I took a lot of Promise out of that and I'm looking at the mistakes that the Titans made in week one do you know that teams that were underdogs that had a 17 or more point lead at any time in the game were 66 one and one against the spread in that game and they didn't even cover against the Bears yeah I watched it unfold live an an oage Casino in Tulsa Oklahoma as I was sipping a shitty blue moon from a plastic cup oh that was and we'll we'll go over more we'll get to them in a little bit Titans I think I I think that I want to put a bow on this conversation with one more talking point about the injury reports and and things being hidden from the public yes we were doing the show together last year when bejan Robinson got one touch in a football game correct and he was the number eight pick overall he was a top 10 pick yeah bcal running back got one carry and then the report came out after yeah there was some disciplinary things going on or he might have been hurt I don't remember it was a flu I think he was sick but he wasn't on the injury report and people lost their [ __ ] again there's a lot of money involved there was another incident back in 2019 I remember cuz I bet this game the the Steelers were playing Ben rothberger was the quarterback was not on the injury report at all sorry he appeared on the injury report that Wednesday and it was uh and the the the injury was rest yeah and then he leaves the game on Sunday with elbow issues and then the reports come out that they knew about these elbow issues dude that's the quarterback yeah you need to know about that the injury report it's a conflicting conversation some people agree some people disagree it has to do with the betting it's not gamesmanship I think Gam mhip is one of the dumbest things I hear in sports and in fighting do you know that uh I did I tell you they're doing it for SEC football this year really what are they doing the injury report oh yeah first time ever in college football history so why do you think they're doing that there's a lot of money involved bro especially in that conference there's a lot of money involved and have you watched um so the injury report right just to stay on this topic it was created for the sports books to be able to adjust their ratings and knowing that certain players aren't playing because if you know a quarterback is playing and then he's not playing that's that's a massive swing right did you watch the Netflix thing on uh onich stallion no no no no so the the the guy from Michigan right that was stealing all the signs what was his name Connor stallions okay uh yo I'm sorry bro if if I'm watching a game and this means handoff left that's on you that I'm able to figure that out corre I don't think that's cheating I think that's yo lie cheat and steal bro I'm going to gain an edge if pickoff play is coming in baseball and bro that's that's your job for not hiding it I'll tell you a funny story I went to a high school football game I was like 24 25 one of my friends younger brothers was playing it it was a playoff game we were in the crowd we were hammered uh highlevel dejing at a high school football game being tank right and I'm sitting on the sideline behind the other team's bench and they're yelling out Yukon Yukon people are blitzing Syracuse Syracuse people are blitzing Wisconsin Wisconsin badger badger and I'm watching it and mind you I'm tank now right and I'm like yeah every time I go to my boy who whose brother's playing I'm like bro every time they yell out of school they Blitz he goes yeah I was like yeah just look at it BMA B they're blitzing he texts his brother they they get in contact they make their adjustments say end up winning the game look at Lambo doing it for the high school yeah I mean we had to for the culture but is that is that cheating or is that you're giving out your cues and you're an idiot like an idiot keep it keep it hidden when I played when I played football bro we used to have calls that had to do with like uh topics in school so I'll give you an example the math department was on the third floor so anything we said with math was a three count snap count algebra algebra uh trigonometry like any [ __ ] like that and then science was on the fourth floor chemistry chemistry unless you went to the school you had no idea what it was right right you know like [ __ ] like that oxygen whatever it was those were the calls and if you're if you're saying like I said that means hand off left that's not nah [ __ ] that bro why am I getting in trouble dude I'm I'm if I can gain the system I'm going to do it I think it was ridiculous like the whole Michigan [ __ ] and yeah and look now now if you're using if you're doing what the Astros did and there's like maybe Electronics involved and [ __ ] like that no but if you're just the guys on the sideline cares even what the Astros did who gives a [ __ ] you know how hard it is to play these Sports yeah you know how hard it is to play these Sports and cheat without getting caught yeah it's pretty [ __ ] impossible so I I'm a fan of it and you what are the the rupper cussions are are what the Astros are World Series champions and Michigan wins a national championship ship cheat when the saints had bounties on people's heads and we were pumping In Crowd noise we won Super Bowls when Bill bich was stealing every sign uh and filming practices he won Super Bowls yeah there a strong correlation to my franchise is we are uh adopting cheating as a a court principal and winning titles my my uh best friend in Buffalo he would just be like hey man be better that was just be better right again if if this signal if that means that it's it's a play action pass and I could pick that up that's your fault yeah I'm sorry I'm GNA I'm going to take an advantage now in college football they have the comms so they have the iners for uh the quarterback and then one player on defense um I've always wondered this and I guess somebody can figure this out for us and and let us know in the DMS wouldn't it be easy to steal that radio frequency from what is being hacker [ __ ] bro if Michigan is paying a dude $125,000 to study signs and give a report back I'm sure the the university would gladly pay $2 million to figure out a way to steal frequencies I'm sure it wouldn't even be that hard yeah I don't I don't get it man like it's just a weird thing like you see it in soccer sometimes when players you see it on the international level when games go to penalty kicks and two guys are playing say It's Brazil Croatia and you have a couple guys on Brazil and a couple guys on Croatia that play on the same club team they both play for Real Madrid they go to penalty kicks and the one penalty kick taker for Brazil is about to take the penalty kick and he knows where he always goes he tells his goalie yo right there right there bro he's going to go there he's going to go there and then he saves it is that is that cheating or is that oh maybe don't go there yeah no that's you know you know that [ __ ] Luca Modric knows that Rodrigo always goes bottom right they go the other way I think that's fair game bro if I could cheat the system like that I'm not taking steroids I'm not taking Peds I'm capitalizing on you being dumb yeah that that to me is yeah that's I'm gonna I'm gonna take that Advantage except with the injury reports we got to cut that [ __ ] out no the injury reports is different man injury reports is different um let us type of cheating we don't like yeah let us know what you guys think I think it's a fascinating conversation it's uh and it's going to keep happening bro it's going to keep happening these these Sports books are not going anywhere we had the conversation about the stock market versus sports betting it's only growing and growing and growing and there's more people talking about it and it's covered on a on a national scale and in mainstream media so it's a fascinating conversation it's not going to be the last time that you see this right you see athletes are getting picked apart for betting and whatnot so yeah let us know in the comments what you guys think and uh it won't be the last time we'll be revisiting this oh 100% that's for sure uh George a couple of injury news that I want to discuss with you so we didn't really talk much about uh Jordan love getting hurt which is wild because it was at the very end of the game and so it's like fresh bro like yeah we didn't even see if he can make it back out that's the part that's got everybody wondering uh is it a ACL tear is it an MCL tear the MRI results haven't been released yet have they so they did put out a report that he's going to be out for four to eight weeks okay um there is a slight possibility so again how I mentioned before about you got to know your sports books some places have the Colts and Packers game up some don't there is a possibility that laflor said he might be playing this week so you never know my the the question I want to ask you is do you buy into this notion that it's because they played in Brazil and a lot of these injuries happen on field conditions right I root for a team that plays at mlife Stadium which is a nightmare like the amount of people that have had season ending injuries over there because of the turf hell even Aaron Rogers last year was at mlife Stadium uh the 49ers one year they played back-to-back weeks in New York and that was a season from how that they had where everybody was getting hurt left and right the World Cup Final in 2026 is going to be over there it's it's very concerning I know a lot of Club teams are already like [ __ ] man we pay this guy 50 million euros a year and now you got to go play on that [ __ ] do you buy into this notion about the field being the issue that he got hurt no not on this one I've I've seen a lot of other think that's the answer I agree I I I but I did see a lot of slipping early on I mean we we had mentioned on Monday show saquon's first Carry he face pled which was not the the most uh welcoming way to start the the 2024 season but yeah it was a blatant penalty I mean the fact that they didn't call that was insane because even when you watch it in slow-mo the way he grabs his leg um I was actually on the treadmill today and I watched a 15minute video on a doctor talking about like the force that was being put on it and he was pretty confident that even though it may not have been a full ACL tear it's going to take exactly 48 weeks to fully recover from uh an injury like that and I don't I don't blame it on Brazil though I think that's a weak type excuse especially given the video evidence now there was there other players that got uh was there any like acl's or like blown out ankles in that game no but I I feel like they I I just took it at as unfortunate mhm it it was a bam bam play he got rolled up on um I thought it was an ACL right away always do whenever an injury like that occurs just like the way the the knee bends but then you'll see other times where a guy gets lit up and like he completely folds like his shoulder hits his ankle and then he gets up and like Sprints back to the hole you're like what the hell yeah I know the human body really interesting I don't look at that as as it being a field issue um but what I it was just unfortunate yeah yeah I all pack fans though should be extremely worried because is it Malik Willis that's getting the start this week I believe so they were they were talking to Ryan Hill about bringing him in there too yeah I know that's the thing that's the the late scramble is Flo still available is what they're uh thing bro even better Brett Favre Brett Favre bro with the Tommy Copper on where we a triple Tommy Copper uh wristband arm sleeve shoulder vest he would I am confident in this cuz Aaron Rogers is playing and he's a grandpa Brett Favre can come into a game and put up more yards than Caleb Williams did week one I am I am very confident in that actually that'd be hilarious bro what would the line be on that you it would be plus money but it it would be uh every time that Tyson goes back and and fights everyone's always like it's the Nostalgia Factor oh he still got it in him right yeah it it it was unfortunate though man because like with Jordan love they were you know they were my Super Bowl representative out out of the NFC um I actually put a wager on Packers Jets to be the Super Bowl at 120 to one and after Jordan love got hurt on Saturday and the report came out I actually cashed it out because now I'm like all right they're not going to have Jordan love and in the event that the Jets do go down I'll probably get a better number I'm still going to bet it at some point in the season right um if they could weather the storm here the Packers and look their schedule isn't that ridiculous it's not as if the Packers have this like murderers role coming up cuz I remember saying that if they could win this game it should be pretty favorable right like they play they play the the Packers uh sorry the Packers play the Colts this week then they got the Titans and they got Minnesota yeah and then they have the Rams and then Cardinals at home and then the Texans at home so it's like all right a couple tough games there are going to be tough games but I think it's a a favorable schedule for them if they did have Jordan love now with him not there it's definitely going to be concerning man um you gota you gota wait and see what happens but I think I think long term it's not season ending if you're the Packers you're like yo let's be two and three when he comes back at wors two and four but we need to have two wins by the time he comes back so maybe they could steal one of these games here they better they better or else it's going to be a uphill battle in that uh what's going to be a tighter NFC North people would think yeah it seems like it yeah it seems like people are uh the only team to lose in that division yeah in week one yeah uh another another injury that I definitely want to highlight is Puka Puka is on the IR for at least four weeks MH um you know he should have been rookie of the year last year man [ __ ] that would have been such a great call dude oh we got screwed bro I I really do I'm salty about this [ __ ] I'm going be remembering puka I'm going be remembering Caffrey the way I do James Harden you know James Harden when Russell Westbrook lost Kevin Durant and Russ won MVP yeah it was James Harden had a monster season as well and I had said he was like 20 to one uh put a l scoring title yeah he bro he won he was like 35 and a half points or something he was he was going crazy they had eight more wins than the Thunder and everyone that listens to the show they always hit me up when I start going on this rant they're like bro let it go I'm like no I'm not I'm not not same thing with puka and mcaffrey because I think it was like 111 rebounds was the reason why he didn't win it cuz he would have average the triple double also but anyway puka last year he sets all these records and I think when we were talking about the Rams on the preview show I was high on Cooper Cup coming into this year um dude had 20 targets he had nine at halftime even what puka still on the field because a lot of people are saying well he had all these you know he had 14 catches and you know he went from 80 to one now he's the fifth favorite for offensive player of the year it's like no no no Cooper Cup last year was killing it bro you know the last couple weeks eight for 115 in a touchdown 6 for 40 in a touchdown eight for 111 in a touchdown remember everybody thought puka was going to like steal his touches out of out of the thin air it's like no he is their offense yeah he was just he's still main read number one you saw it right away in the first half with puka out there on the field mhm and that was why I was Pro Rams I wanted to pick the Rams as a team that was going to regress and even though they lost week one I I loved what I saw from them there was three teams that lost week one that I still I still feel good or even better about them the Jets the Ravens and the Rams and Cooper cup is back bro he's 31 years old the the chemistry that he has with Stafford from day one when they got there it it's been unbelievable and I think I was telling people yo draft Cooper cup over puka you could get him four rounds later in drafts because it's the new it's the new F it's the new girl next door a new shiny toy yeah she's younger right he's got long hair yeah she's in her 20s he was in the commercials with Troy palalo The Head and Shoulders he was doing things like that it's the new fling and that's what you wanted that's what people wanted but it's like yo Cooper cup is still that boy yeah with the Rams and he's first read so I think it's going to continue I think uh I think we got to have Cooper Cup every week and and and take his catches in the anytime Department I think the catches were great dude his catches were six and a half he he he did that in the first half yeah he catched it it was like minus 110 14 yeah it was crazy it was crazy but I think with with the puka thing it's not season ending um and I think that the the Rams offense I'm worried about their offensive line that was concerning but they were missing a tackle too so maybe that plays in to it but I'm not worried about the Rams and I think puka is going to come back and he's going to have an impact right away and I think even when he comes back I think you should still look at the Cooper cup props take him over because people people have a misconception sometimes that just because two good players are on the field that it takes away from one or the other and it doesn't sometimes it improves both of them it's the T Higgins thing you know T higgins's numbers are actually better with Jamar Chase on the field as opposed to off and usually you would say oh he's not on the field more targets for T Higgins it's like no it's he gets one more Target per game and his yardage is down because now he's the main attraction so having the two guys on the field yeah so I think that's something to look for when when when puka comes back and as far as his injury it was an injury that he was carrying into the season from from the summer and look it was just unfortunate but again it's not season ending and it's going to happen a lot of guys are going to get hurt unfortunately that's just the game but I think this is more of a pro Cooper cup thing and pro Rams even with this injury than it is like it being so devastating yeah no I'm 100% with you the the Rams are fine I knew that that Rams Lin game was going to be extremely close it's amazing the way that the scheduling worked out for the for the Lions this week because they get to play the Buccaneers so it's back to back weeks for them where they get to play uh their playoff opponents from last year which is super dope to me it's like back-to-back Revenge games but the Rams uh no no need to fear when you have Matt Stafford at the helm uh who dare I say is uh better than Aaron Rodgers ever since we had that debate I can't stop thinking now that Matt Stafford's better than Aaron roggers I'm I'm I'm firmly planted in it man look uh he I don't think I've been happier for a dude winning a champ Championship more that didn't play for my team than Matthew Stafford oh yeah and again biased cuz I bet them to win the Super Bowl that year but dude there's so we talk about this so many times and it's unfortunate that people get this reputation in sports that they're not winners or they're not successful because their team sucks and so much of it bro is where you end up and who drafts you and then there's a lot of [ __ ] that goes into it right the owner needs to be competent the GM the head coach your players need to stay healthy your players need to be good and productive and he was just buried in Detroit and you know real recognizes real game recognizes game the consensus in the league was always bro Stafford is that guy but we just don't see they win five games they win seven games I think he's won double digits in Detroit twice yeah and he never had a 100 yard rusher until Reggie Bush got there and his main weapon retired early like that was what the lines were known as and look some times you get that one ring and it's like oh [ __ ] he's he's always been this good and for him to win that late in his career like he did it was what year 13 or 14 that he won it with the Rams very recent yeah and it goes It goes a long way man I wouldn't go that far cuz I still think that I think Mahomes and Rogers are the two best quarterbacks I've seen just the wow the wow throw we like holy [ __ ] how do you make that oh my God see but you everybody does this all right can we just put them all three together this is starting to get into like the when when you get the LeBron Jordan debate and people are like well but Kobe yeah you know what I mean it's the Rings though man people bring up the Rings it's so so dismissive of [ __ ] I I I don't like Tom Brady's nowhere in that conversation yeah we all know Tom Tom threw a boring ball you throw a football better than Tom Brady I wouldn't go that far I I I do think I throw a very good we got to shoot a video bro I've been telling you this we got it cuz a lot of people like combine throws a lot of people are like yo bro you're not I want to see Lamb on the on the roll out where you have to Under Pressure you're rolling out this way throwing across your body 60 yard bro I could I could sling I could sling I need to see it we need to have proof now we need to have proof um all right let's get into a patreon read why you do that I got to take Le dude all right yeah you go and use the bathroom while I do some

day comes from Discord and patreon member Thomas Robinson uh no show Thomas thoughts on building self-confidence and how do you maintain it whether it's in the gym whether it's in relationships whether it's in life whether it's in work thoughts on this one I thought this was interesting uh life is as simple as doing the things that make you happy and you have to really break that down into what that means for your life I always tell people the best way to build self-confidence is do all the chores that you were told to do as a kid literally clean your house do the laundry take the trash out like take your mind off of I guess the the day-to-day minutia of like going to work and [ __ ] like life really is as simple as you can complete a task you feel good so try to find a way to complete lots of tasks in a day that make you feel good and before you know it your your self-confidence will go up because completing tasks makes you happier that's the way I look at life like I I think it's a especially easy to tell somebody who just like lost a job like don't get all sad and [ __ ] don't feel like you're not still worth something you're still worth something because you are able to you know make yourself happy and you do that by doing all the little things right Mike Tomlin once told me that I like that I like that you know I always I always push back on people when they're like dude don't be upset it's like no I think you should be I think it's normal to be upset right like how uh we were talking it's the duration of how long you allow 100 and that's what I was going to get yes right like circumstances everything now I have a I call it the 48 hour rule when something goes south um I have a issue with the car or a girl tells me it's over or I get into an argument with someone I'll be honest bro for two days I'm kind of [ __ ] like I'm I'm really down on myself but then after that it's like slap myself silly it's time to get back to whatever work we got to do correct so yeah I think that's a normal thing we were talking about Caleb Williams on the preview show how I don't have a problem with him after his season ends him going and crying to his mom now if he was doing that after every game he Caleb we got to talk this is now this an issue now this getting crazy but that's I think that's a normal thing I think that shows that you care when it comes to self-confidence my my answer to this is it ties into self-awareness which is one of my biggest it's probably one of my biggest uh characteristics I proud myself on being self-aware I never asked for something I feel like I haven't deserved or earned and even then I kind of don't and I think it's being honest with yourself and it ties into how much time you've put into things you know people talk about impostor syndrome right especially in the content space it's such a like hot button topic gosh I suffer from impostor syndrome I'm in front of cameras now they're I I I don't uh I feel like I've put enough time in now the people that I work with have kind of put a battery in my back the feedback I get from people it's like no I belong now MH so I don't believe in that imposter syndrome I've also been doing this for about a decade and it's the same thing I tell people you know there's so many microcosms of like jiujitsu which is a super big passion of mine and then like the content creating right it's like dude you gotta some people are starting shows now it's like bro you haven't even gotten a stripe on your white belt I'm a black belt in this [ __ ] it takes it takes a while and then I tell some people like yo you've put in the work for so long on your craft that at some point the impostor syndrome yeah I had it four years ago five years ago for a sec you know no I had it for I had it for a decent amount of time where I'd be like damn bro why am I talking to this person now it's like why aren't I talking to this person why haven't I gotten this chance and it goes back to the self-awareness it goes back to the time that you put into your craft and it it just goes a long way I'll tell you a quick person personal story man one time cuz you know I work with uh Cameron and mace on their show and I produce and edit that shout out to it is what it is but uh for so many times bro coming up in this like industry and then in this game of content creating George I would I would give people ideas and they would kind of laugh at them it's like I didn't have the resume or I didn't have the credibility even though I was building on my show and it was successful and I was happy with it public perception is you don't have the numbers that we should take you seriously right and I remember just uh giving them a suggestion on something like on on the last time they filmed and then they came back the next week and they were doing it and then they're doing the suggestion that I laid out to them and then I come in and I'm fixing the camera and I'm like geeked out I'm smiling like this and then Cameron's like yo what's good bro you got some [ __ ] yesterday is that why you're like all giddy and [ __ ] and I was like I was like no man it's just you know and I told them what I just told you now and they kind of dismissed and then mace came into the control room he's like yo let me talk to you for a second he's like how long you've been doing this I'm like yeah about like 9 years now he's like you know if you're an expert in your field now if you ever wanted to make a hip-hop album I hope you would come and ask me and killer about this right right right like you would want you go to The Experts yeah you go to the people that know what they're doing and to tie this all into the self-confidence thing it's you've put time into something and you've dedicated and and if you're self aware and you understand it that you are like imposter syndrome and self-confidence man it's when you see someone that has confidence bro it's like infectious like you like being around those people 100% And there's just an energy about it and I hate using that word too cuz it's like oh energy and spirituality it's like all that corny [ __ ] but there's also some to it too eore was a character right eore was a sad [ __ ] like that's you don't want to be that and that's what uh Winnie the Pooh taught us Winnie the Pooh is good for showing us what not to be that's an Eeyore and so that's the the I guess my last thing on the self-confidence is um when you look at yourself in the mirror every day you better be willing to accept what you've put forth uh effort wise that day to your dreams cuz if you're cheating yourself no wonder you're not confident in yourself you son of a [ __ ] you're lazy like it was funny it's not hard I uh me and Brian talk about this the second Brian reference on this episode and he hasn't paid us for all of these but he should maybe maybe he should swing another middle finger in our direction we we talk often about like there's some people we know that are into like the spiritual space and you know like self-improvement and I think it's important right and for look for me it doesn't do anything but for others I know it's helped them and like look man if it works for you it works for you bro for me I just find a lot of things corny and I find a lot of people corny and and there's probably people that feel that way about me too right so it's cool like it is what it is whatever makes you happy like very rarely am I upset about anything that makes someone happy it's like why should I bro do your thing right I say all that because one time I was out with like a bunch of a bunch of like these guys from like Vegas and [ __ ] and we're all talking and everyone's kind of going around the circle and they're kind of just like telling their upbringing and [ __ ] and I was just like yeah bro I was a [ __ ] loser until about like four years ago and then the one kid was like dude don't talk about yourself that way like you shouldn't be so mean to yourself so I was like no no I I prefer that cuz that's how I improve yeah right what works for you might not work for me and what works for me might not work for you I like people in my life being like yo bro stop yeah you're dressing you're doing you're doing soft soft [ __ ] right now like you're you're acting soft I think that's the male approach to like when when you you got to snap your boy out of it yeah dude and all my friends to this day bro like I'm so grateful for the people I grew up with and I've I've given big love to my parents obviously but man they would [ __ ] rip into me cuz my mom would be like yo look it's wild out there people are going to be mean now if the people that love you are mean to you [ __ ] George telling you some [ __ ] is not going to sting as much you be like yo bro my mom at 26 true story was like what girl wants to be with you bro you're you're 250 lbs you got no ambition no drive like you love this podast podcast [ __ ] but you're not even dedicated to that like of course you're single of course you're a [ __ ] loser that's how I was like that's what helped me and thank God I had those people in my life to tell me that right cuz now we're a stud and we're [ __ ] we're just out here you know what I'm saying self-confidence selfconfidence baby five years from yeah five years from that moment right yeah God damn that's pretty tragic though mom said that that definitely stung a little bit 48 hour rule we flushed it after yeah and then you got after it you know you you go you get a nice workout in you you you start to improve your life you crank one like a soldier and you just move on bro that's the way to do it man that's a true flush that's a the cleanse male cleans that's a male cleanse do it like a man and we move on all right and let's move on to week two pics great question uh no show Thomas and again send us your questions man we're gon do this every week uh this segment is brought to you by patreon another cheap plug patreon.com veterans minimum all right George yes uh recap from last week I went two and three against the against the number though we did go three and three if we include the toxic one but I don't want to include that I feel good that we said hey Bill's minus 6 and a half just be very careful just seemed fishy that the line opened up two weeks ago and it never moved uh that is always very hesitant and it's just toxic right they're not good for you even though it's appealing and she's hot we got to stay awake so I went two and three against the spread uh crash and burn on urita boy was that ugly um also Adriana did not hit for us and again if you guys are new to the show um just another quick rundown what these mean is we have erselita it's the ugliest pick of the week but we have to play it Adriana I think Adriana Lima at her absolute prime was the hottest woman that ever lived on the planet great girl uh that's the favorite pick of the week trust in l you have to bet this one Colts plus two and a half last week um Raiders plus three for me Raiders plus three for you uh in this economy is it doesn't matter you have to play this that was a Giants for me and boy did that one suck also the toxic one is just be careful that line is suspicious it's going to kill the most betters and it did and then this is why no one will remember your name uh we were on the Pats plus nine so just a little rundown of what each pick stands for George lead us off with uh let's go uh let's go urita uh I I chose the under for uh Primetime football on Sunday night with the Rams and the lions and it did go under that game at Halftime you already started to get the the vibe and the feel that it was going to go under so this week for erselita I'm going to choose the nastiest under that you can possibly take Chargers Panthers under 39 points uh why even put this game on tele television this is uh this is a game that is going to be extremely ugly I don't think the Chargers offense is going to put up uh the amount of points that the Saints did they run the ball they're conservative I also have this feeling Nick that the Carolina Panthers played so bad week one that this is the last week that they care you know why because like it's like you you get that first initial loss it you don't necessarily give up Hope on the season but if it happens back-to-back week weeks where you get 40 points put on you it's over your season's done I want the under in this game I'm not going to watch it because I know it's going to be a snoozefest lots of field goals um but it's it's ugly and it's urita for the fact that the Chargers could put up 60 points on this team there's uh there's some interesting stats back in this so Justin Herbert the under in the last three seasons 21 and 10 in 31 regular season starts um the most profitable quarterback to the under in that span and you would imagine it being the complete opposite like Justin Herbert laser rocket arm and all this [ __ ] and Keenan and Eckler and Mike Williams uh not the case um I like it man look you also gave out the Rams under on prime time you're on yeah that's why I'm I'm continuing with my urita unders yeah no it's good man look unders and and I kind of was making fun of you on that it's like this guy is not fun guy roots for unders but yo it's it's a high rate man it's it's a boring thing it's like betting fights to go the distance no one likes that [ __ ] ugly as [ __ ] you it's ugly as [ __ ] yeah shout out to urita um what about you I'm G do it again oh my God say it okay yo hear me out I'm not a believer of yo never am I doing this again um but I'mma do it again we're back on the Panthers baby plus six and a half how bad could it be how bad could it be no but on a serious note right I got some stats here for you you ready for this yeah Panthers had the worst loss of week one losing by 37 points to the Saints which by the way if I lose a game I want it lost like that yeah I prefer I prefer being put out my misery with a bet than me losing on a back door cover field goal or yeah I lost two games on the hook or the guy the guy like drops a pass that would have gave him over where it's like half a yard right the amount of parlays where people lose by half a yard no I rather lose by 37 points than having no chance so they lose by 37 points to the Saints in the last 20 years teams to lose by 35 points or more as fourpoint underdogs the next game ready for this 50 18 and two against the number 73% so teams that get blown out by 35 or more and then our underdogs the next week of four or more points a 73% trend in your favor um I'm going on the Panthers man uh look they should have a big crowd at the game because tickets are 74 cents so Carolina let's keep pounding uh yeah get it together and let's bounce back Curry back out there six and a half man let's not forget this team beat the Texans last year they uh Bryce Young's best game was against the Packers both at home yeah this is It's the Chargers on the road as a favorite and then when you look at the betting the betting splits here you have uh you have a a Pros versus Joe's game man and and the line moved Four Points which is significant um from Two and a Half open to sorry three and a half open to 6 and a half now uh so three-point move um I'm going I'm going with the pan Panthers man or celita um yeah do do I bounce back with a trust trust lamb yeah yeah because you you got to build the the confidence back in in your picks for these people j e golly run it back Jets Jets Jets listen man you don't like the Titans I don't like the Titans the line on this game was minus four it is now Min - three and a half you have 79% of the bets coming in on the Titans while 6 7% of the money is coming in on the Jets this is going to determine one thing for me for the Jets moving forward we said it earlier on the show and I'm going to repeat it if you are a Super Bowl Contender if you are a team that a lot of you a lot of us think you are an 11 to 12 win team you have to win this game by double digits you have to go into Tennessee you lose on Prime Time morale is low people are saying same old Jets like George was saying to open up the show this is where if you want to be taken serious you have to win this game 2713 uh 28 to 14 maybe put up a 30 spot yeah you should be able to move the ball on this Titans team and that's what I'm looking for I'm looking for the Jets to bounce back this is the Trust In lamb and by the way a lot of people are asking especially people in Vegas like why lamb growing up that was my nickname back home it's because I'm Greek my friend group we had four Nick D's everyone had a nickname and mine was lamb so uh yeah Greek Easter rotisserie the lamb the whole nine amazing food great and if people join the Discord and put in your picks they would refer to you as the hero look what I did there whoa that's a that's that's a Greek food reference Los out there the Jets minus three and a half is the trust and L pick of the week um what do you got trust and George captain George Captain George pick of the week is going to be Tampa Bay getting seven points playing the Detroit Lions this is a playoff rematch from last year and the one thing I noticed and we that discussed earlier like the the Lions although they did address the corner position in the draft and terryon Arnold is is a dog like he he is a good player he went up against Cooper cup and Cooper cup torched him all night I think the same thing happens with Mike Evans um people want the Lions here's the thing it kind of plays into the same spot where the Jets are I think the Jets are going to win I don't think they're going to cover I think the lions are going to win I don't think they're going to cover and I think that they're in that category of team right the teams that blow people out of the water are the Chiefs are the 49ers are the are the Eagles right and I think maybe the Jets and the lions are in that class just below it but I like Tampa Bay a lot here in this spot I think they have a [ __ ] ton of Confidence from week one uh a lot of people I don't know if it was just the preseason hype with jayen Daniels and the commanders that's still a very average football team um and I don't think there should be a a crazy overreaction uh on the on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but give them seven points versus the Lions who give up a lot of points I love it damn I hate the to burst your bubble and to [ __ ] on your parade but oh give me the numbers that don't go my way some Trends are not in favor of Captain George this week so the Bucks closed as four-point favorites against the commanders this week they're seven-point dogs to the Lions since 1990 a year before the boy was born we've only seen four teams win by 17 or more points in week one and then be dogs in week two by seven or more the Rams were this last year those four teams are one and three against the spread 0 and four straight up losing by almost 18 points a game wow and check this one out Jared G lot of negative stigma around him his whole career 12 and3 against the number in week one and two in his careers the best ATS of any quarterback in the last 20 years and I believe this game is in Detroit once again he it be interesting to see oh wait did you say that stat included being a underdog of seven or more points it's only happened 17 times or is it just Underdog the next week just Underdog the next week see cuz that's the and I I wanted to clarify because seven to me is just too much yeah like when you're an underdog in some of those situations it probably was a lot closer I would imagine in spreads like you're you're talking about a like this team won the division and that playoff game last last year was extremely competitive it wasn't a blowout it came down to the last drive and just like how all lions games do so I I don't see them uh covering the spread that's why I love Tampa I I'm glad you you brought that statup though so if I do lose I could be like [ __ ] Nick how to bring up the stat it ruined it for me uh I'm gonna go to my favorite pick of the week and for me this one um I I said it on Monday and I'm going to double down on it um um it's the Ravens man the Ravens now are minus eight and a half Point favorites I thought it was going to go up it's actually going down and you have some reverse line movement in this one right so you have 72% of the bets are coming in on the Raiders but the but more money is coming in on the Ravens and the line moved down right and I think the Ravens just destroy them dog walk yeah I I'm looking at like a 30 to 10 344 garbage touchdown like it's they're GNA do do you remember the Lions Ravens game last year in Baltimore where like they beat him by like four touchdowns it was like a 38 to7 that's what I kind of think happens here and again 72% of the bets are coming in on the Raiders 78% of the money is coming in on Baltimore and the line is moving down from 9 and a half now it's 8 and A2 I just think they have extra time to prepare do Baltimore um and look it's going to be a trendy trendy pick in Eliminator pools uh I think it's the right pick this week and I'm just leaning towards that man I think that they go in there and and they they beat the [ __ ] out the Raiders who got a travel from La down to Baltimore yeah that it's the travel mixed with last week the Raiders got the the ball ran all up and down the field and that was the former Ravens uh the JK Dobbin and what's the other back's name for the Chargers uh Gus Edwards Gus Edwards right they got him in the in the package deal and they went wild I can only imagine when a competent running back um you know takes on that Raiders defense now here's the thing that I'm somewhat worried about Nick with the Ravens because this was the the stigma with King Henry King Henry doesn't necessarily get going till like mid October so should we be worried if if Derrik Henry doesn't rush for 100 yards this game like would you be worried if he got 20 let's say 22 carries and 100 yards L I don't think I'd be worried I think he looked I think they just need to feed him more that's all he had Tes you can't split that many touches with Lamar yeah yeah that's the thing that I'd be worried about but all right let's let's bring through the rest of these um can I give you my uh my uh toxic one the one I would be car careful about hit it uh Eagles minus 6 and a half I think I would just be a little cautious Monday Night Football uh you know the line move three points from minus three and a half to 6 and a half there I would just be a little careful I do want to mention the the this is why no one will remember your name the play I really like Bengals plus six I know it's bad in Cincinnati but man they always get up for this game against Kansas City momes is 38 and 42 48% career against the number when he's a favorite of more than a field goal this line is at six points it moved from minus three to minus 6 momes in games in which the line moves two points towards his team is 10 13 and two against the number and look man I think I don't think the Bengals are going to win this game though they would definitely be live in like a money round moneyline parlay and whatnot but they just play them so well every game that they played against each other has been a field goal game and I'm giving three extra points here and maybe they get T Higgins back and you know Jamar Chase he's going to be in the anytime TD parlay that we got 100% uh he just shows up in this game man so I think that that's that's the one that I'm looking at with uh the Bengals I'm not playing Kansas City in this spot put it to you this way I'm playing Cincinnati only and then the last one in this economy it's it's uh it's a Cowboys minus 6 and a half I love it now this would be a that was my best pick of the week right so that would be a spot and I'll let you elaborate more but the reason why I like that one is because both team are both teams are coming off Monster wins if it was the Cowboys coming off a monster win and then the Saints would have lost that game I'd feel very different but the fact that both won I like it and they're at home it's the home opener for Dallas minus 6 and a half I think this might be a alt spread kind of parlay weekend for me yeah start looking for some like a minus 9 and a half that yeah I know you got to get creative cuz minus 13 and a half Baltimore the first week of the NFL you never think like all right which we're you you're afraid to put in big money on where the blowouts blowouts are going to come from I mean I guess we could have all thought the P Panthers were going to suck that would have made sense to me I um crap where was I going with this oh last week Derek Carr was hit one time yeah how many times does michah Parsons smack Derek Carr one time on the first drive I think three and out I think Derek Carr gets sacked uh up to five times this game we'll see if how good the offensive line is and uh they better not miss their their big time shot plays to rased Shahed which were good for about two to three of those a game if we miss all of those the Saints will lose by 20 points like no exaggeration this Cowboys team yeah is is maybe they're in that category that we were talking about earli earlier yeah we're teams that can honestly uh blow the brakes off of people can we do uh let's start doing this every week give me give me two guys you got scoring a touchdown this week give me Mike Evans okay give me Ezekiel Elliott o Zeke and Mike Evans I'm GNA go Jamar Chase and Travis Kelce all right we got to put it in so we're going to do a four- leg parlay every week we're going to do this there'll be a graphic uh shout outs to the guy that made the graphic last week they got a lot of good feedback on those um yeah great graphics guy we got uh aka me he doing it adding more to the repertoire uh all right just quick little rundown I like the Jets minus three and a half I like the Panthers plus 6 and a half I like the Cowboys uh minus 6 and a half I'm worried about the Eagles minus 6 and a half and I like the Bengals plus six in this economy those are my picks what do you got I got the Chargers versus p under 39 points I got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers getting seven points versus the Lions I got the Cowboys minus six and a half versus the Saints the toxic one to watch out for is definitely the Eagles like Nick said and then in this economy I like the Rams money line and I know it's it I I was kind of taking it like in this economy like you you're not going to look out on the Rams uh being underdogs like this I'm trying to oh my gosh hold on one sec here yeah bro against the Cardinals and you didn't let me go on my Marvin Harrison rant so maybe I'm just going to tease the people with this go on Tik Tok and watch why Marvin Harrison wasn't good week one and Nick it's going to disappoint you because I think he might have been the bust of the draft wow yeah and we'll just I hope not cuz he's in the offensive Rookie of the Year paray I know but Nick he's moving he's moving slow yeah you know there's D1 speed and there's NFL speed I think we we thought that there would be that correlation I'm going to end I'm going to end the show with this if if if it turns out that he is not what we thought he would be no more using the term generational Talent it's done for anything we can't do it nah cuz he was a generational Talent so we'll saywan Barkley though this year it is generational uh there you have it guys thank you for listening all things veterans minimum or at
