Speaker 3: Speaking of the time power Ball boys billion, yeah, billion, three.

00:02:37
Speaker 1: Billion right now, I believe the lump Sun payout is five hundred and eighty three million dollars.

00:02:42
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, yeah, I think that's what it is, right, texting talking about what we're gonna buy if we win.

00:02:50
Speaker 1: Dude, we were texting about it, because that's that was is what would he do anything for? No, Well, because I saw I was driving on the highway and I saw the power Balls at one point one, and so that night was Saturday. I texted clam buddy, it might be time put on.

00:03:03
Speaker 3: I got two tickets. I already had twenty dollars worth, but we came up Sure, I got two numbers, right though, So that's you know, I'm thinking maybe we could this next time.

00:03:10
Speaker 4: It'll so when.

00:03:11
Speaker 2: I haven't done the power Ball thing, does it happen like they do the balls and stuff?

00:03:15
Speaker 1: Like everything I'm well every Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday night. Actually, wait, as we were talking, I was like googling it and they have like the whole thing. We're like, they have the ball that's rolling around and it comes down like first numbers five.

00:03:26
Speaker 4: The old school way.

00:03:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there was like ten tickets.

00:03:30
Speaker 4: Nobody won. Nobody, not the jackpot, not the jacket.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: A few people have won like either five numbers, four numbers, but not not the tickets.

00:03:37
Speaker 1: One million dollars in this last one, which was Monday night, and then I think two won two million dollars. But at one point three.

00:03:44
Speaker 5: And it just keeps going up. Somebody just keeps in a reset.

00:03:47
Speaker 3: Right now, is like the fourth or fifth largest jack bar right now?

00:03:51
Speaker 1: Buddy, Yeah, it was crazy. My wife, My wife just got back from Canada. We were talking about it last night and I was like, it might be time to like try to make it an investment on this, like go in with like a thousand, you know, like why not, like you might have to go in responsibly. And she's like, I was looking at it. It's like the lump sum. So it's one point three. The lump sum is five eighty three million. But then you get tax again. So really your payout it's three hundred and seventy one well tax in Tennessee federal tax. The federal gets this as well.

00:04:21
Speaker 3: It's it is a scam the fact that we pay into this and then they tax on on this before you get it. So that's why, see, I'd rather take the lump sum and invest it. I got a good team around me. You know, you want to take that thirty year payout. You'll get more money, but they're holding on to the money. They're just letting me in a crew and their interest, so you're getting a chill.

00:04:41
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how far I went is I looked at the loves it was just like three seventy one one is after taxes and everything. If I put that in a five percent non tax i bond, it's eighteen point seventy five million dollars a year tax free. You're sitting, you're chilling.

00:04:57
Speaker 3: But what's more fun than how much you can make is what would be your first purchase. That's what I'd like to know from the boys. We talked about, Hey, golf Stream buying some property. What would be your first purchase? Now you can tell me about you and Charles, you know, you know, like you're not gonna tell anybody.

00:05:13
Speaker 1: I think that's the first question is who you are? Who are you telling if you win the lot.

00:05:16
Speaker 4: I'm not telling nobody, but win.

00:05:19
Speaker 3: A secret to the financial team, get our ducks in a row.

00:05:23
Speaker 2: But you're saying if I win one point, they probably get a jet.

00:05:32
Speaker 1: Enthusiasm on the show.

00:05:33
Speaker 4: Like what type of jet are we talking at?

00:05:34
Speaker 1: Like big guy?

00:05:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, okay, golf.

00:05:40
Speaker 3: Shame if that's a big one, six fifty or seven hundred, what are we thinking?

00:05:44
Speaker 1: Seven sounds like a bigger number.

00:05:46
Speaker 5: Give me the bigger one.

00:05:47
Speaker 1: Got the bed in that thing?

00:05:49
Speaker 3: A couple of TV probably starling, yeah gotta.

00:05:55
Speaker 1: If I won the lottery, I would tell nobody, just my wife. I probably fly my financial team have signed n d A and then tell him what happened. And then I'd probably sell my house and get a smaller house. So people are like, I must be up a tailor. I think I don't know if he's doing okay, And then there would be signs I would have a go through.

00:06:11
Speaker 4: Would you tell the boys?

00:06:13
Speaker 1: Probably not. We would know though, just g No, I'd be still be every day because when we were texting about I'm not telling anybody. I'm like, yo, that's not my personality at all. My personality would for sure.

00:08:25
Speaker 6: Remember that I was here with that mcne McNee.

00:08:35
Speaker 4: That put it live.

00:08:38
Speaker 1: NFL Week one, Before we get into it, talk to me about the jitters. You have Week one of the NFL season.

00:08:44
Speaker 4: Man, it's crazy like playing jitters. Yeah, man, god damn yeah, it's it's the it's probably the worst Week one jitters because you know, you don't know what, what's what's going to happen? You expecting the team to be great, but you know they're shitty and you're going out there.

00:09:00
Speaker 6: You gotta put your put the team on your back. You know that shit is nerve wracking because you got to show up, you know what I mean? Like, man, you we had to.

00:09:07
Speaker 4: Show up.

00:09:11
Speaker 3: Any when you but I bet you expectations were different from when you played for the forty nine Ers versus Titans, I know, for you know, playing in Green Bay every year was kind of super Bowl or bus When you had Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback and you had the pieces we had every year was like all right, this is our especially you know, winning the Super Bowl in twenty ten my second year and then just twenty eleven fifteen to one. You figured the next year it was gonna be the next year. So expectations were always just like all right, here we go again.

00:09:38
Speaker 4: But it was exciting.

00:09:39
Speaker 3: It's an exciting time and I still get those like the training camp you know in August is in the air. I know we're in the September now, but like it's exciting. I'm happy to be a fan now. You know, all that anxiety nerves and whatnot are calmed down a little bit, but yeah, there's something in the air.

00:09:54
Speaker 5: Week one, I was in fight or flight the entire time.

00:09:58
Speaker 2: There's just a situation. Yeah, it's like, okay, you know, my first year, I was on peace squad. Second year when I made the team, I'm thinking, like, you gotta I gotta get a tackle. I got you gotta make a player. You can get cut. Like when I became the starter, it's like, I gotta play at the level to keep my job. I can't get injured. If you're injured, you gotta play through injured because you never want to be off the field for somebody else to like overtake your spot with the Titans. I remember going into Week one in twenty eighteen, I was playing both like the mic and MO. They called the week side the MO by the kind of know both spots. The entire week I was playing MO, and then on the walk through Saturday before the game, Coach Tide comes up to me. He's like, hey, you gotta you gotta do the mic the mic spot this week, which the mic is what I did training campaign. I was doing the MO studying for the Texans the entire time then you flip the mic. So I was just in fire or Flight basically my entire career, except for the last few years when I'm kind of, well.

00:10:51
Speaker 1: You were playing for fun.

00:10:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like when I'm playing, of course, yeah, of course I'm playing to half fun.

00:10:55
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying like you're.

00:10:56
Speaker 3: Just yeah, yeah, because you know we have an energy a we'll see week one yeah, where hey we need you back out.

00:11:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, the couple of years where I got to sit out the fourth preseason, like you're flying high, You're feeling good, You're you're like grateful, You're like, oh fuck, this is awesome. But like all the other years besides, like the last couple when I just felt like I was playing with house money, where it's like, I'm just going to enjoy playing this game since I loved it so much growing up. But the anxieties and everything and stress that comes with it, that shit is real.

00:11:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's real.

00:11:25
Speaker 1: I'm I'm via stories like the rookies that are going in the Week one because they're just so excited, Like when my first year at the Titans, it's like we end up going too and fourteen, but like in camp, I'm like, you know, we could win the super Bowl, Like this is gonna be amazing. I have no idea about the talent level we have or anything. We go in the first game against Kansas City beat their ass twenty fourty ten. I'm like, yo, we got a fucking squad out here, and then we don't want another games like week not. But like as a rookie, when you're playing as a rookie, you're just like, yo, this is amazing. I'm I'm playing in the NFL. Like you have like an okay game, a bad game, it's like, or I can work on that, but like this is fucking dope.

00:11:57
Speaker 2: And everybody on your team's like a great player. Like everybody your team's like a good player. You play against other punchy like, yeah, they're pretty.

00:12:03
Speaker 1: When we're having this like small conversation on this thing about your career and like you're at USC where it's like you guys are gonna win ten eleven games every single year, and then you go to the Packers and it's like you guys are to win your division every single year. With Aaron Rodgers, he kind of had a luxury of knowing you're always gonna win.

00:12:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean it's yeah, it's nice having a quarterback. I learned that, you know, drafted with Aaron as a quarterback, Like you just you take it for granted. I think the Packers fan base takes that for granted as far to Rogers to love, but ultimately for me, like I didn't even going to the Rams my last year year eleven, I had Jared Goff who's still playing at a high level, but he wasn't Aaron Rodgers, and I was like, wow, I miss Aaron, Like he's that good and he can get you to the next level. But yeah, I mean, so much of your success based on the whether it's tackle, tight end, linebacker, is based on quarterback play in some of these skilled positions. So yeah, I was fortunate in that regard. I played for you know too great a great program, great or organization, and we just had great pieces in place to get us to the next level.

00:13:03
Speaker 4: Especially coaching too. You had a long time coach Bay as well, so that goes along with I remember.

00:13:09
Speaker 2: When your defense was just you guys are the topic. Obviously you had Aaron Rodgers, but just the topic of conversation because of Lebo and all the different things that you guys did dom Caper.

00:13:21
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

00:13:21
Speaker 2: But it was the year where you guys played. It's like the defenses. You guys played against each other and talked about the schematics and how you guys did everything under the sun.

00:13:29
Speaker 5: You were having basically everybody on the line of scrimmage.

00:13:31
Speaker 3: Standing up, psycho personality, one line man running around.

00:13:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.

00:13:37
Speaker 3: It was fun, beautiful. Let's get at the games.

00:13:40
Speaker 1: Let's enjoy this. Let's enjoy this.

00:13:41
Speaker 3: Can we enjoy something real quick? Before ut? So, I just, you know, I know these might be banned by the NFL, but I figured i'd uh, you know, bring.

00:13:53
Speaker 4: Oh why you got these?

00:13:57
Speaker 3: Don't worry about don't worry about this said, this is the greatest wake years.

00:14:46
Speaker 5: There wasn't one.

00:14:49
Speaker 4: Just they just squeeze it. Sorry, hold on, fuck, let's get it cracking.

00:14:59
Speaker 3: Don't addition, I was just still watering before subscribe, before hitting out, before heading out. When that first defensive series after kickoff will go down to kick off kick off?

00:15:15
Speaker 1: That right there, I guess all the nerves like go away before every single drop. Yeah, where the turners come up?

00:15:25
Speaker 4: Why why ban that?

00:15:26
Speaker 1: Though? That like wakes us up.

00:15:29
Speaker 3: That's what they're banning the supply.

00:15:32
Speaker 5: But we can get it, basically, what did That's what.

00:15:35
Speaker 4: You gotta be.

00:15:36
Speaker 3: You gotta bring yourself so yeah, yeah, you gotta bring it.

00:15:39
Speaker 1: You might be a little confidence locker room glue guy, right.

00:15:43
Speaker 4: You gotta bringing yourself.

00:15:46
Speaker 1: Your division. I know handed can backer from me and the landing. That's all you get it from us.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: Will brings next week the expectation he's sitting for, he's hitting for. These intros have to come with something every week. Expectation.

00:16:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, goddamn win up an episode to bring you michelob Ultra brought to you by Michel Bulshu Superior light beer. The delicious taste of victory deserves something equally superior. Cheer on your team with Michelo Ultra at two point six carbs and ninety five calories. It's a superior smooth taste worth playing for. Mikeelob ultra superior light beer chiefs the Chargers to playing in Brazil. You already went over this. Kansas City's favored by three total points in that game is forty six and a half. The laning.

00:16:28
Speaker 4: Welly all know what time it is.

00:16:29
Speaker 6: Man, don't play with me, bro, I'm bringing belt to ass all week. Every week, I'm going Chargers money.

00:16:36
Speaker 3: Oh WHOA, I thought I thought we were I thought you were going with cheese with that.

00:16:39
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, asked the Charges money line plus one forty two in the FANDUL Sportsbook. Can I tell you something? Yeah, last year, every pick you make your moving. You're taking the favorite, and they're moving the line to make it a little bit better for you. So you have like minus three hundred odds coming out like this. I don't know if it's the salts or the attitude, but something strange.

00:16:57
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what I'm saying. I'm all about belt to add. I'm telling y'all this Belta ass this year, belt t Ass, I'm not playing all my picks for me it's gonna be great. I'm just saying, so you're gonna so you're gonna go with I'm doing Chargers.

00:17:11
Speaker 6: And the only reason why I'm going Chargers against the Chiefs is because last year they allowed the fewest points in the NFL under Jesse uh Mentor. And now you got Khalil Mack and Don James coming back leading that defense. They're gonna be physical like always, especially under Jim Harrorball. I know what they're gonna bring. Like I said, I coached with them last year, so I'm excited to see what they do.

00:17:32
Speaker 4: They're on offense. You got Lad mcconkeye. Oh yeah, white white team.

00:17:37
Speaker 6: Player went nuts last year, breakout as a rookie. We're trying to see this dude step that up this year. Adding Keenan Allen to help him. That's big. Justin Herbert, I I mean, y'all know what he can do. He can run, he can throw the ball. The guy's exciting on the field. Quarterback top five. I've done said this how many times and I beat you know, I bet we want.

00:17:58
Speaker 1: He said in that chair last year and you go about quarterbacks, nothing talking about Apparently he knows a little something about quarterback.

00:18:03
Speaker 4: You was right on the absolutely and I was right on bot Remember I was right about the Chargers game till we bet that game.

00:18:09
Speaker 1: And you might have been right about the Chargers game. But being the top five quarterback, you're not like that's you.

00:18:13
Speaker 6: So he not a tough Let's not get off Let's not get off topic. And for the last reason good quarterback is because they do have a top defense, right and that defense is going to disrupt stop that rhythm of the Chiefs. If they could do that, it's gonna be a game. And I feel like the Chargers is gonna come off the top. That's why I'm taking their money on.

00:18:32
Speaker 3: I respectfully disagree in your opinion. Now, this is a great AFC West Divisional matchup. Last two games last year under hardball decided by one touchdown or less. However, the Chargers did not eclipse one hundred yards rushing in both of those games. So what do they do this offseason? They go out, they get Najie Harris, they get O Marion. It's got some great singles, by the way, you know what I'm saying, Uh, damn, you can't joke like that?

00:19:03
Speaker 1: Why not?

00:19:05
Speaker 5: You can't learn from jp P.

00:19:06
Speaker 1: You know it is true?

00:19:09
Speaker 5: Is true?

00:19:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right? Stay away from five works, okay, be safe? All right?

00:19:13
Speaker 3: But or okay, didn't clips one hundred yards? They go and get him, But I don't think that's gonna be the difference. I see the shuffled Chargers offensive line with Slater out moving all over Pipkins. You bring in Makay Deckton. I see Chris Jones or Carl lockt this if I can get that name correct, making some type of big play, sack, forced fumble to separate this game, winning by one possession, one score again, I take the Chiefs start off.

00:19:39
Speaker 4: One to know?

00:19:40
Speaker 3: Oh want to know?

00:19:42
Speaker 1: I love to break down my book.

00:19:43
Speaker 4: You taking money line or a spread I'm gonna take.

00:19:47
Speaker 5: We're picking the game, we're picking the spread.

00:19:50
Speaker 1: We're picking the spread. We're picking you want to go money line trying to get him?

00:19:56
Speaker 5: You're trying to get him to be that money line Delaney on the favorites.

00:19:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Clay. I love the breakdown by both of you guys. Phenomenal stuff. The only thing I have to do is back up with a little bit of data right here, I mean Week one Kansas City Chiefs away games they're six and oh against the spread. That's what the Internationally, they're three and oh against the spread as well. Chargers they're zero and three against the spread. Everything you said, everything you said, give me the Chiefs covera this game.

00:20:23
Speaker 2: Jim Harball is five and oh against the spread home Openers. I like the Chargers there, first in points on defense last year, first in the red zone on defense last year. Where I see an issue for Kansas City. He's not having Rashi Rice. He's under a suspension right now. And when you look at their line of scrimmas, they had a lot of problems last year. Mahomes was sacked the most in his career, and on the left side they didn't do a whole lot. You got what's his name, Josh Simmons. He was the second rounder that they picked, and then you have a second year player at the left guard spot. I still see the Chargers being able to expose that left side of line of scrimmage. I see the Chiefs having problems. I like the Chargers in this game. I like the Chargers plus three with the points. I also think this is a heavy week one NFL under week oh.

00:21:09
Speaker 1: I think under Onders you can go almost across the board. I love everything he said. Chargers are technically the home team that they are playing in Brazil, right right, yea, they are playing in Brazil, and I think they lost Joe Toney as well.

00:21:20
Speaker 5: That's not are you you were talking? We were talking about the Chargers, are you saying, Rashaan Slater?

00:21:25
Speaker 1: No, yeah, exactly they yeah.

00:21:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, yeah, forgot about that one. Okay, down the middle, flit down the middle.

00:21:34
Speaker 8: I like that.

00:21:35
Speaker 1: I like that's gonna pull us. I like it a lot. All right, I'll go, I'll do it.

00:21:40
Speaker 4: Let's see.

00:21:42
Speaker 2: I'm sorry them smelling saw its kind of yeah yeah, leaking out up here and felt it again.

00:21:48
Speaker 1: I kind of stared for a minute. Are at the Seahawks. The Seahawks are favored by two and a half points. Total points in that game is forty three and a half. I think the biggest question mark around the forty nine ers and white people are down on them. As they were, they didn't do a great job of stay healthy. They lost a couple of defensive linemen. This year, they're healthy. Christian McCaffrey is back. I know they lost Deebo Samuel, but I'm a believer in brock perty not only on the field, but off the field. I thought it was a little Western commercial while he was dancing up and down. I can get behind that kind of personality, kind of making fun of yourself a little bit. I like them going into Seattle. I liked them playing against that stubborn defense. I like them covering that spread.

00:22:26
Speaker 4: I'm with you, Taylor.

00:22:28
Speaker 1: I mean Clay might be partnering up the whole week.

00:22:31
Speaker 3: So if we look at last year, they split the games, I was without CMC. I like the fact we talk about health. This is the healthiest date they're going to be all season.

00:22:40
Speaker 4: You got Brock.

00:22:40
Speaker 3: They paid the man. He's going to continue to live up to those expectations. Organization puts all the trust in him. Kittle. CMC is Duan Jenn explaining he's back from Yeah. If I know there's a contract issue, I still hurt. I think he's coming off at ACL. I don't want to. I don't wanna, Uh, buddy, who got out lot Pierce All he's playing No, no, no, no, I'm talking about the receiver Ricky Pierson, Florida guy. They're gonna expect big things out of him. Could you lose Deebo Samuel. But nonetheless I give the advantage to the forty nine's because they have the superstar advantage. It's gonna be tough going to Seattle, but I see a healthy forty nine Ers team hard to beat.

00:23:22
Speaker 1: See. I like that.

00:23:23
Speaker 6: You say that, but you gotta remember Seattle had shut down corners in safety last year. They were ranked probably in the top ten within the top ten. You got rig Wooden Walling, he had fourteen pass breakups, three interceptions. You got Julian Love one hundred and nine tackles, twelve breakups, three interceptions, two forced fumbles.

00:23:43
Speaker 4: Those boys are gonna be out there trying to compete.

00:23:46
Speaker 6: Like you said, they do have a high power offense on the forty nine Ers, so you got to have a high power defense.

00:23:51
Speaker 4: And then you have the.

00:23:52
Speaker 6: Linebackers they had, I want to say they defense. Seattle defense was top in the top ten, ranked number five. So those boys are not playing. They're coming after this boys. It's gonna be a matchup. They play at the twelfth Man Stadium where you you've been there before.

00:24:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what it is, like what it's about.

00:24:09
Speaker 6: I'm just saying it's gonna be a tough atmosphere for those boys. So I'm going with the Seattle Seahawk.

00:24:15
Speaker 5: The dogs at home.

00:24:16
Speaker 4: I'm going with the dogs.

00:24:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you're getting the Legion of Boom era of defense mixed up with last year's defense. Last year, Seattle was twenty seventh against the run. They were thirty first in third down with forty nine ers being healthy. This year, obviously everybody is aware of Shanahan's creativity their run game. I feel like if they win on first down, that's gonna be the key to keep them manageable down in distance. The continuity across the old line with San Francisco. I like San Francisco. Brock Perty's paid. Now you got see everybody again. They're healthy, buy their stock while they're healthy.

00:24:50
Speaker 5: I like the Niners of this.

00:24:51
Speaker 1: I also like to point out one more thing. I'm not gonna let one of these shows go by without mentioning Trent Williams.

00:24:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, even.

00:24:58
Speaker 1: If we're going to talk about forty some weeks, I just gotta mention Trent Williams. That's our goal.

00:25:03
Speaker 5: A couple of day, just a couple of data points.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: Seattle won and six against the spread in their last seven home games one and six versus the forty nine Ers in their last seven matchup with Gino Smith.

00:25:12
Speaker 4: We got a whole new quarterback. Who's Donald? Come on now, don't player.

00:25:15
Speaker 1: Donald came from Kevin o'connells Minnesota Vikings offense that he got his PhD in football.

00:25:20
Speaker 4: With coping Ac out there running that offense. Run kicker, no DK postnoun like Smith. They got Smith, Cooper Cup, they got Kenneth Walker the third. I mean they got some power on that offense.

00:25:39
Speaker 3: Now I like their offense. I think, yeah, they're going to establish the run. It's gonna be I think everything we saw last year from Gino Smith like throw that offense out the window. I think they're going to establish the run, not turn the ball over as you see Sam Donald do last year. And I think it's going to be a new Seattle that just grinds it out. They had ten wins last year.

00:25:58
Speaker 2: But yeah, and Niners had a shaky defense last year at the X factor though slid coming back as the DC for San fran.

00:26:05
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you they looking at how they looking at film from last year. They was in the gun. They're not gonna be in the gun this year because, like I said, they got a new offense coordinator, they're gonna be under the center. That's gonna throw to San Francisco forty nine ers off a little bit. That's just what I feel.

00:26:19
Speaker 1: I also like like Sam Darnold. He had a hell of a year for the Minnesota Vikings last year, but at the end of the year he fumbled the value of the Lions they got in the playoffs as well, like had two bad games.

00:26:28
Speaker 6: True football season didn't end it because he got paid, got paid, and now he's the starting quarterback.

00:26:35
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, all good points, All good points.

00:26:39
Speaker 2: Gino Smith. Now with the Raiders, we got the Raiders at New England. New England's favored two and a half in this game, the over unders forty three and a half. Vrabel Pete Carroll for the regime.

00:26:51
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, this is a twelve o'clock game. It's gonna be a Scott Hansen game for me. Okay, it's gonna be a red zone game. I'm gonna just tune in to see how gent does. And I want to get this Travon Henderson because these are two coaches, you know, established coaches who I believe are turning these organizations around. I still think it's early, and it's not only early in the season, early in their tenure. They're obviously this being their first game. But I think what we're gonna see is what Sean Payton did with the Broncos and what we're seeing Harball do with the Charges. But for me, I'm gonna way for Scott Hanson to show me these touchdowns. I know you boys are, you know, loyalists to Brave, so I'm gonna let you hit on that. Which who Scott Hanson, I didn't give it yet, but I do like the Patriots. I think the fact that they're in Foxborough, they're gonna probably bring all the dogs out grong who knows, yeh Edelman. I know Tom probably can't be there, but I think there's just gonna be too much fanfare. We're gonna show up.

00:27:49
Speaker 4: Tom gonna be on the Raiders side. Yeah, yeah, he won't call it. But Stevenson starting or Henderson do we know.

00:27:59
Speaker 1: Right now now?

00:28:00
Speaker 2: Is in the depth charge but Hendrickson, keep your eye when they get in the fringe area in the ring.

00:28:07
Speaker 1: He was cooking some fellows out there. And also they showed a couple joint practice clips the kids.

00:28:12
Speaker 6: The kids got his That's why I chose the Patriots to win the division, and I'm going to ride with you.

00:28:18
Speaker 4: I am taking the Patriots as well. I can't go against Brabel. I just can't. Straight up.

00:28:24
Speaker 1: You want me to go first, you want to go go ahead, because I personally don't know. I'll tell you what I think. I think Mike Rabel is an incredible head coach. I think he what he does the best job of is scouting the other coaches their tendencies and how he can manipulate their weaknesses against them to win the football game. The issue I see with Mike Rabel and his strengths is here, he doesn't know what kind of play he's going to get out of Ashton Genty, what he's going to get out of Colton Miller, who's gonna get at Gino Smith? More than anything, chip Kelly just came back from college. He was in Philly, and there's not a whole lot you can't go back to Philly, and these are his tendencies because Chip Kelly is known for having a great offensive brain. So it's kind of like a we'll wait and see and based on what they give us is what we'll put out there. And then Pete Carroll, I mean you know all about I mean he won a Super Bowl. A guy was an episote study at USC When I look at chip Kelly, him being in Philly before he got drunk with power, they had a hell of an offense and then they started to fall apart a little bit. Then Howroy Rosmen ended up taking over again. Chip Kelly goes to college, has an incredible season, wins the national championship with Ohio State. Now he's back with the Raiders as in an OC position and the perfect position you should be in with the offense he wants with a running back who's going to get him down. Hell, I see the Raiders covering this game. I see the Raiders winning this game. I also will Campbell rookie fourth overall pick a lot of people coming at him about how short his arms are. He is going to be a state. He's going to be a guy that plays twelve fifteen years in the league. You know, I don't know if it's a Pro Bowl, All Pro guy, but he's gonna be a guy's like, holy shit, dude, he's still playing dark kids are having kids, and he's still in the league doing his thing. He is a rookie right now. That defensive line. If I'm the Raiders, I'm Pete Carroll, I'm taking the Commodore Condor.

00:30:08
Speaker 5: Oh maxx Crosby.

00:30:10
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Max put him over on that right side of the defense.

00:30:14
Speaker 4: He reminds me of you so well.

00:30:16
Speaker 1: Will Campbell.

00:30:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I ain't even played it down though.

00:30:18
Speaker 1: Come on, hey, look I do this episode. I like that.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: I like Chip Kelly, I like chip Kelly and the Gino Smith combination Ashton Genty. Really it's who's going to show up outside of Max Crosby on the defensive side. They have backers with the Landon Roberts whoill knock your dick in the dirt. You got Devin White who's over there. Is he going to get back to his days of when he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But who's going to show up defensively for the Raiders? To me, that's the question mark. But as far as offensively, Pete Carroll, chip Kelly, I hate picking against Rabes right now because I feel like they kind of revamped both sides of the ball with starters. But who's gonna block Max out of Morgan Moses and Will Campbell. Hell of a first day for those boys.

00:31:06
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders, and outside of the Raiders to yeah, outside of Harold Landry. I don't see a lot of pass rush out of the Patriots from the small sample size.

00:31:16
Speaker 2: I was able to see when we were there. They do like the the youth and the ability and the potential that is there. Like cats you want walking off the bus.

00:31:25
Speaker 5: But yeah, who's gonna.

00:31:26
Speaker 3: How are the Raiders scoring?

00:31:27
Speaker 4: That's what I know.

00:31:28
Speaker 3: Because Gino doesn't have DK, he doesn't have Lock, he doesn't have Smith and Jig Bob.

00:31:35
Speaker 1: Bowers Myers.

00:31:36
Speaker 3: Oh, they drafted a buddy in the second round out of tc U. Uh white boy again Jack Bashash Bash Yeah, Bash, But I'm working Cooper.

00:31:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, he so got some juice.

00:31:53
Speaker 1: I think. I think this is a heavy workload for Ash and Gent. I think you run the ball, you allow the you allow the run game to open up the play action pass. You catch those zones in the middle, you attack them in the middle of the defense, and you keep moving forward. It's it's a fun game. I think if we're in week four, five six, I think Rabel has enough sample size. I think Stretch has enough of a sample size to pick up on tendancies and this game goes the other way. I think it's the not knowing what they're gonna get on the Patriots side or on the Raider side that makes you say, Okay.

00:32:21
Speaker 5: You see a lot of twelve personnel with Brock Bowers and Michael By.

00:32:24
Speaker 4: Definitely, Yeah, you have to those two dudes out there. You gotta see that.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: Twelve is not It's like twelve, but it's not twelve. It's like having you in the fields. Yeah, you have a tight end. He's got a tight end number, but he's also you get to.

00:32:35
Speaker 5: Receiver.

00:32:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, twelve percent usually.

00:32:37
Speaker 4: Put they both block.

00:32:38
Speaker 2: Though they both blocked, I understand, like and I I don't want to get You can show ten looks, you can show eleven looks.

00:32:47
Speaker 4: You can do all type of stuff.

00:32:48
Speaker 2: Traditional twelve but one in the backfield.

00:32:51
Speaker 6: But look at quick stat on a on a Patriots at home So opening day home record is thirty six, twenty nine. Overall is twenty twenty three fifteen at Jelas Stadium, including eleven and three at home on kickoffs, opening kickoffs, right kickoff day, meaning yeah, okay, I just wanted to make sure you understood that. And the Raiders have not won at Gulais Stadium since two thousand and two.

00:33:15
Speaker 5: How many times they played there?

00:33:16
Speaker 4: Who knows?

00:33:21
Speaker 9: You can't look up giving It's like Bill Belichick first year as a head coach with the Patriots.

00:33:33
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, with the Patriots.

00:33:35
Speaker 1: Yeah he coach.

00:33:36
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, make Ray will know what time it is he was there.

00:33:41
Speaker 1: There's know what time it is, Patriots, but that Patriots, Patriots, Bills, Bills.

00:33:46
Speaker 3: Raider Patriots for the next Bills.

00:33:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, cop Raiders.

00:33:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm Raiders.

00:33:58
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:33:58
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football, Yeah, Ravens. They have Buffalo, Buffalo favored by one and a half. The over under on this game is fifty and a half. I got the over, Clay, you want to start this thing off?

00:34:09
Speaker 1: You got the over.

00:34:10
Speaker 3: I got the over all, right, listen. I picked the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl. I picked Lamar Jackson to win the MVP, and I think it starts Week one. We all know Josh Allen, can you know? He can score points at will, He can do whatever he wants. But I'm going with the better overall roster right here, and that's the Baltimore Ravens. The better quarterback, the better running back, the better defense. You looked at their games last year, they split whatever week it was. When they play him during the regular season, Derek Henry rushes for two hundred yards. You look at the playoff game, Baltimore turns it over three times, Andrews drops that two pointer to take him into overtime or to tie it up at least didn't give the ball to Derek Henry enough. I think they absolutely feed him this time against the middle of the pack run defense that the Bills have. I think he runs for another two hundred. I think the Ravens win this handedly with the handed handedly, Like you know, two scores. Two scores is a lot.

00:35:13
Speaker 2: I like the Ravens pick. The only thing that makes me nervous about the Ravens is just how sloppy they can play. Like I remember watching that game last year. Who were they playing the Chiefs in the opener, just fall starts penalties, doing things to shoot themselves in the foot. They were still in the game. Oh buddy the tight end, Yeah, Isaiah, likely at the very end of the game. I do like the Ravens.

00:35:33
Speaker 5: I also like the under in this game.

00:35:36
Speaker 1: Just I think Week one unders are the clearest path to success when you're thinking about betting on NFL. Week one unders is always the I like where your heads out when you look at Week one of last year against Kansasy Chiefs at Kansas City. At that point, John Harball is trying to figure out what's he gonna do with Derrick Henry because Lamar Jackson, you know, like seventy five percent of his snaps before Derrick Henry was in the shotgun, you know, having having the back off to his right or left. Derrick Henry hates having the shotgun RPO type of rethinks. So they have to figure out a way to how do we get in the center and get Derek Henry downhill. Obviously they figured out that out last year. The stat that I have that makes me go for the Ravens is Lamar Jackson's twelve and two against the spread when he's an underdog. I think that is I mean, I picked the Bills. What's up?

00:36:19
Speaker 5: Goodt good stat.

00:36:20
Speaker 1: I like the Bill. I like the Bills a long term. I like the Bills in the Super Bowl. I like the Bills winning the Super Bowl. Obviously they were my futures pick. I like the Ravens covering here.

00:36:31
Speaker 4: I'm taking Ravens money line.

00:36:34
Speaker 6: They gonna win the game, playing the symbol they fueled off from last year and losing to these boys. I just feel like they got something, that they got something to prove.

00:36:41
Speaker 3: There's a lot of clips out there right now. A lot of times, you know, after the season last year was last year, there's a lot of clips coming out of there talking about I'm not gonna say Redange, but like they want to get there. As Shannon Sharp says, their retribution, they were Ravens across the board. Don't like that.

00:37:00
Speaker 1: I don't triple A stats are never bowed well for us. Makes you want to slip towards me.

00:37:04
Speaker 4: But the Ravens is going to be I think the Ravens are ready this year, man.

00:37:08
Speaker 1: I mean they understand their offense a little bit better for sure with Derek, they know how to use them.

00:37:12
Speaker 4: And then on the defense, they got ten out of eleven.

00:37:15
Speaker 1: Trying to think like this.

00:37:19
Speaker 2: Or Alexander, Yeah, and this is the number one defense, number one, the number one defense in the.

00:37:24
Speaker 4: Game, number one. I had that number one defense in the game.

00:37:26
Speaker 1: Ravens.

00:37:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they like I like under Yeah.

00:37:32
Speaker 1: I just go back to Rochester, New York, and we're sitting there watching Josh Allen give us, give us that handshake, saying why you shook hands like that and then only missed two passes in the entire practice. It's just so relaxed. You're talking about, be relaxed catching.

00:37:45
Speaker 4: That out Baltimore Ravens. I'm taking the Ravens straight.

00:37:50
Speaker 1: I like it Monday, Monday Night Football. We interrupt this episode to bring you Form Energy.

00:37:56
Speaker 2: Form Energy delivers best in class taste with natural flavors and zero sugar. Form Energy has natural caffeine derived from green tea. Form comes in a variety of flavors. Your boy is holding the orange Fury right here. You got Scream and Freedom, you got Blue Blitz, grape Smash, and it's.

00:38:12
Speaker 1: Perfect for those who put in the work.

00:38:14
Speaker 2: If you're like my boy Clay here, where you're somebody who wakes up in the morning, gets a workout and puts in a full day of work and still gives it there all when they come home.

00:38:22
Speaker 5: That's Form Energy. You're a Form Energy guy. Form Energy. We do the work back to this episode.

00:38:28
Speaker 1: Vikings are at the Bears. Let's see here Minnesota favorite at minus one and a half. The towel points in the game is forty four and a half points. A lot of question marks in this game about Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. I know a month ago there's like clips coming out, our conversations coming out about Ben Johnson getting mad at Caleb Williams because he's not understanding the play calls, he's not processing and understanding the game a whole lot. You think they start to work on it. You see like the couple press conferences between then and their last preseason game of Ben Johnson saying, yeah, we've kind dug down the place book a little bit, We're giving it a little step by step. Caleb seems to be receptive towards that his processes are getting better. And then you get to this last preseason game and Ben Johnson is having a lot of conversation revolving around the first two drives, how they've been lethargic and they've been plagued by lethargic player on the oppositive side of the ball. Their entire camp go over to the Minnesota side. You got JJ McCarthy getting his first start. He had a meniscus last year, was not ended up not playing, got it repaired. I think that was the long term best move for him. Kevin O'Connell is on a x's and o's like local Minnesota radio station show. Give me a conversation about JJ's processes, his routine, the meditation, how he's picking up the playbook. He feels very comfortable about his quarterback with the weapons that he has going into Week one. If I'm just looking at the two press conferences that I watched most recently, you feel a head coach Ben Johnson has a lot of criticism revolving around his leadership capabilities. Come from the Detroit Lions, and they have a proven head coach Kevin O'Connell who seems very calm, very stoic about his quarterback, even though he's a first year starter, it's his second year in that offense. For those reasons, I'm going to take Minnesota cover just one and a half.

00:40:09
Speaker 4: See that scared me. You just said the key thing.

00:40:11
Speaker 6: It's his second year, but it's still his first year, no game time experience. He's going out there. Obviously, we know they playing in Bears, but they do got Kevin Byrn out there, no for making interceptions, picking off young guys now to read the offense very well.

00:40:25
Speaker 4: That's a tough one, man, it's a tough one. So Bears money line, Bears money one. Yeah.

00:40:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, taking the dogs and you're gonna get put out pretty quick or you're gonna be looking pretty damn good getting back.

00:40:44
Speaker 4: I'll tell you. Belta as Man season, you gotta think about it. They revamped that old line they brought in with Joe j Jackson, Joe Toney, Drew Dolman, Right.

00:40:58
Speaker 6: I mean that's just to help that run game. You got Swift back there. He balled out last year. I think he's gonna come back and have it even a better year.

00:41:05
Speaker 5: This and he's reconnected with because Johnson Johnson.

00:41:08
Speaker 1: Can I tell you a quick story. So this weekend, we're leaving Ohio State Texas and as we're walking out, we hear a voice in the background, So you guys get kicked out, refer to the Dave Portnoy, not big a lot in the stadium, and we look back. We're joking around and this guy walks up there. It's like, hey, Ryan Poles, nice to meet you, and I'm like talking, I don't know the name, and will Is like, hey, first off, I won't say it's great to meet you. I'm trying to who the fuck's GM for the Bears. He is there watching the game and his he was lighting up about Colston Lovelin. This guy's coming. He loves his blocking abilities, he loves his catching abilities. So I like, I like, where your heads? My worry is, what's the head of the snake. It's the quarterback. And I think there's been a lot of disruption between head coach and quarterback that we've seen in the public eye.

00:41:51
Speaker 4: I mean, they got a lot of young guys on on for the Bears. So we're gonna see, We're gonna see what's going It comes.

00:41:57
Speaker 2: Down to Caleb Williams. This is his Obviously it's everybody's biggest year, but this is his biggest year quarterback.

00:42:05
Speaker 5: Generational quarterback. Like he's got the roster.

00:42:08
Speaker 2: You talked about it, DeAndre Swift, you got DJ Moore, Roma Doonza, you got Luther Burden that they drafted out of the Missour this year, you got Colson Loveland and Cole Comet. They revamped the old line spent a lot of money to bring in Joe Toney, Drew Dolman, and Jonah Jackson. You've got Darnell right, is he gonna be the guy that they drafted out of Tennessee Braxon Jones at the left tackle. But they got the guys that bring in a Grady Jarrett from the Atlanta Falcons who's good on defense.

00:42:31
Speaker 1: You got Kevin Byrd in the back end. Montese Sweat on the other side, like they have the roster.

00:42:36
Speaker 2: It's all about Caleb Williams and if Ben Johnson and him and him can get in line and he can execute the offense the way Ben Johnson sees it, whether or not it's dumbed down from what he was doing in Detroit, because when he's in Detroit, everybody's catching the ball. The creativity that Ben Johnson has, it's all their motions everything. But can Caleb Williams Williams retain all of this stuff, dish the ball out to all these guys and make the offense it's effective and make Ben Johnson's offense work for him. I like Minnesota. I think there's it's valid. All the question marks, what's JJ McCarthy are going to be like, but Kevin O'Connell. He's proven it doesn't matter who the quarterback is. They do it year in and year out. You got Justin Jefferson. They spent money on the old line as well. They have a lot of new faces, but getting Ryan Kelly and Willie Fries out of Indianapolis, they're going to help. Offensively, they live under center. They're one of the top teams when it comes to play action pass and they brought over to compliment Aaron Jones Jordan Mason from the forty nine ers who can run the ball really well. So I think again they're gonna live through the run game. You got play action passes being set up for Justin Jefferson.

00:43:38
Speaker 5: TJ.

00:43:39
Speaker 2: Hockinson is healthy, he's with them this year. Addison, Yeah, you got Addison which Addison has suspended.

00:43:46
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah for the car duy are the best six d Yeah he got but.

00:43:54
Speaker 2: Still they bring in Adam Thieling back. You still got Jalen Naylor. Is it Naylor Jay? Yeah, Jalen Naylor. Defensively, Flores is one of the best in the game period. They're like they're they're like the only team that have like three guys over seven sacks because all the different packages and everything else. They got a good linebacker unit. They got guys up front. I like Minnesota in this game because to me, it's like, who's Caleb Williams gonna be? And I think that answers far to be determined.

00:44:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, talking aboutressures to JJ, didn't fel like he has a whole lot of press. Like you feel like, Okay, there's gonna be growing pains with kid, But it's like you got to show us now, like get out of the nail salon.

00:44:29
Speaker 2: It's time to figure it out. They went out and got guys for you. This is they got the coach for you, Like this is the year for Caleb.

00:44:34
Speaker 1: It seems like the coach is not happy. Boy.

00:44:36
Speaker 3: It's just just a few short months ago. I'm in front of millions and millions of fans boldly predicted, boldly that the Bear still suck. Okay, now I know this this and this pains me to say it, but I got the Bear's money line here over the Vikings. Let me tell you why. All right, they the Vikings take a step back at quarterback. I know you got JJ McCarthy, who does you know? Yeah, he's going into a second year, but he's go no experience. The Bears defense is real. Yeah, okay, so they're gonna give them problems, is what I'm saying. They also got Justin Jefferson coming off a hamstring? Is he one hundred percent?

00:45:12
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:45:13
Speaker 3: Jordan Addison suspended, like yeah, Thelans, you know, But who do they have out there? Aaron Jones can't carry the load by himself. I don't see their offense playing really well. And I tell you what, there's not a team that wins the offseason more than the Chicago Bears. They don't actually win the offseason, but there's always hype, there's always.

00:45:34
Speaker 4: Hope about it.

00:45:35
Speaker 3: But those clips I saw in the preseason, Ben Johnson's offense, despite you know, the quotes that are coming out about you know, working with Caleb, that drive they had on whatever it was. I know it's just preseason. I know it's just preseason. But I'm buying the hype for Week one and Week one only. I got the Bears, yes, and very both of you, very brave.

00:45:57
Speaker 1: Yes.

00:45:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, I see a gritty win by the Vikings. I like the underdooe this game.

00:46:03
Speaker 1: Give me the underfall. The games this underweek underwek underweek big especially Chief Chargers.

00:46:08
Speaker 4: Do not put that on my record.

00:46:10
Speaker 1: None of that, None of that the one I love Vikings, Yeah fresh Parlay, No, no True Classic friend fault.

You can find True Classic at Amazon and Costco, Sam's Club and Target nationwide, or online at true Classic dot com for its lash bustin, look good, feel good, play good. Let's get back to this episode.

00:47:00
Speaker 2: But this week we got the Detroit Lions at the Green Bay Packers Jared Golfers, Jordan Love. The Packers are favored at home with two and a half points. By two and a half points. The over under on this game is forty seven and a half. We gotta let the green Bay legend himself.

00:47:17
Speaker 4: Boys.

00:47:19
Speaker 3: There is thirty one other NFL organization fan bases who are envious of the Green Bay Packers after their recent acquisition of Micah Parsons. A little birdie was in my ear a couple days before. Didn't know if this was going to happen, but I loved it and when it came true. This is not something they normally do. This isn't the Green Bay the draft and developed green Bay Packers. I know we talked about bringing in Reggie White, Charles Woods, and now Micah Parsons. They're showing with bringing in Josh Jacobs, who's buddy who had all those interceptions? Nixon No, Yep, yep, Xavier Mcheal McKinney, and now bringing in Micah. They're all in one in five and the NFC North last year is not going to cut it. Despite making the playoffs, they are good. We I'm gonna put me back on the team. We are trying to get over the hump here and does one guy win you the Super Bowl? No, but I think it brings a certain aura to the team. I think it shows the locker room what they're about. So enough about the Packers. The Lions, on the other hand, losing both coordinators, I'm not going to say that. I think the Packers are a better team come Week one. I think they're playing at Green Bay. I think the atmosphere is gonna be electric. I see the Packers taking this one. I see him, I see him covering over forty seven and a half.

00:48:44
Speaker 1: Over.

00:48:46
Speaker 2: I enjoy as well. Yeah, yeah, but I like the Packers. I'm with I'm with Clay on this one. Not to mention you bring in Michael Parsons. They're all in on getting after this year. They needed more pass rush, more sacks. They go out and get it with Parsons being on the opposite side of your boy Rashaan Gary and then even the acquisition the drafting in the first round.

00:49:09
Speaker 1: Of Matthew Golden.

00:49:11
Speaker 2: But Jordan Love, listen, we're healthy right now, he said, thirty something starts. This is the year for the Green Bay Packers. You didn't mention the second level, but Edrian Cooper and kway Walker both absolute dogs.

00:49:25
Speaker 1: Who's going to pick up the.

00:49:26
Speaker 2: Slack for JayR Alexander you got, you got Nixon on one side, you got Nate Hobbs, both former teammates of mine. Nate Hobbs on the other side, who's gonna step up there with Alexander leaving? I do like the Packers. I like the Packers a lot. They were your boys super Bowl pick. I'm even more proud to say that now that they have Michael Parsons.

00:49:46
Speaker 4: Is playing.

00:49:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing.

00:49:49
Speaker 5: He got an epidural, he played it.

00:49:50
Speaker 1: He played a game of chess with the Dallas cowboy, is what he did.

00:49:53
Speaker 4: I've heard.

00:49:54
Speaker 5: I think both sides. I think both sides won that trade.

00:49:58
Speaker 3: Who Dallas?

00:49:58
Speaker 5: I think Dallas won that.

00:49:59
Speaker 3: Te I think that's yet to be determined.

00:50:09
Speaker 5: I like the Packers. I like the Packers.

00:50:10
Speaker 4: I like the Lions. Money line straight up, this motherfucker straight coming back.

00:50:17
Speaker 10: You got daven Man, Derek Barnes. They about to be all over life game like we'd be on Hot ticket and mat Yeah right, the.

00:50:35
Speaker 2: Question mark I got with the Lions and Taylor you can speak to this too, because I know you know the old line inside now.

00:50:40
Speaker 1: But they got new faces. Man, They've they lost.

00:50:43
Speaker 2: I forget how many guys are your boy glass Cow going to center full Tosco.

00:50:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they lose Kevin Zeiler to the Tennessee Time. Frank Ragnow, who is one of the best centers in the entire league, he ends up retiring. My understanding is he's the heart and sold it off the time. He's not the most talented guy. Because you have the Taylor deck Swell on both sides. They're a top three combo in the entire league, maybe behind the Eagles and hard for me to say another one and then possibly the Eagles. That is to me the biggest loss for the Lions. I love Graham Glasgow. He was obviously very good at guard last year. He moves in a center. I know Graham personally by playing with that Michigan. He's a very smart, very capable player. I don't know if he's the uh, he's gonna be verbal as a leader that Frank Ragnow possibly was. Frank Ragnell gives me Ben Jones vibes. There was a there was a game we played against the Jets. Our guard was not playing well, our left guard, so we pulled the left guard. We put in a different center and Ben came and played left guard next to me instead of the center making the call. Ben was still staying up there pointing left and right, who's the mic? What's the safety rotation? All that Frank Ragnell gives me that vibe. So the biggest question, the biggest pain point for me isn't Lions losing their OC. It isn't lines losing their DC. I think Jared Goff is a capable and smart enough quarterback to be very demanding about what he likes and does not like. I think it comes down to the center being gone in the leadership hole that is now missing with the Lions, which makes me towards edge the Packers.

00:52:07
Speaker 2: That's wrong because it's like Glasgow ceiling not as high as rag now. But he'll be confident enough, like he'll be solid, But what are your guards going to be?

00:52:15
Speaker 1: Like? That interior is massive, especially when you're a team that's known for running the football.

00:52:19
Speaker 4: Run the football, ye, I mean, but they got they got the bast.

00:52:21
Speaker 5: Packers got the run defense to one of the best in the league.

00:52:25
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark. Yeah, Kenny Clark's dog too.

00:52:29
Speaker 4: Like Michael is not a He not a run stopper. Definitely not a run stopper.

00:52:35
Speaker 1: No, he's I mean, he's a hen blows up runs. He will gives up.

00:52:42
Speaker 4: Around J. J.

00:52:43
Speaker 1: Watt. You look at Brian Cushing and you go, hey, buddy, you gotta make him right, Yeah, because he's gonna go you know, b gaps in the a gap. Michael Parsons has that free ing to do those.

00:52:53
Speaker 4: I know, That's what I'm saying, because he can do what he wants when on the field.

00:52:56
Speaker 1: Let's get to that trade for a second, because I think we obviously don't know who the true winner of that trade is until we see the picks are on how those picks developed for Dallas. Jerry Jones when he sits there and does a press confidence of like, who says we can't go get a Pro Bowl player?

00:53:10
Speaker 5: Now we can.

00:53:11
Speaker 1: We are drafted developed team, which they are, like they have drafted numerous Pro bowlers. They have so much talent on their team. Every single year, it's always a culture or it's like too much distraction within that building that doesn't allow them to be successful. But buddy, like you got a kid, Micah Parsons, who is a generational talent. He is one of those keys. Twenty five twenty six years old, with like he has his ceiling of what his potential is. You get Kenny Clark, who's a great run stopper. He's a great leader for the Packers for a very long time. But you you're basically punting on the season, being like we're gonna be really great down the road, and the Packers are saying, like, hey, we can actually win now. I think I think Dallas right now, you look at Dallas, but like you guys have lost that trade until further notice. Right now, Mike Parsons, when it comes to the back, I think that's chess. One of the easiest things to fake in the league is the best you hear from trainers all the time. Five s one over here. I know he's got real issues, but other guys like they're not feeling it. They got mas can come back clean, and they still they still hurt. I think when negotiations started getting personal between Jerry Jones and Michael Parsons, like who what what? Owner goes up to the player and negotiates the contract, then goes to the agent and says, hey, we got it all. Figure out. That was a lie, crazy old school that was a handshake.

00:54:25
Speaker 5: Also loves a handshake.

00:54:27
Speaker 3: You know, thatshake. I love to have him.

00:54:30
Speaker 4: You know that was a lie that dude didn't go up there and greeted nothing, and then he might have think.

00:54:36
Speaker 2: You ever heard the negotiation story with Tony Romo, No, you should check that out. Legitimately, him and the parcels like had him in a small room and they were trying to get him to sign this. And ultimately Romo like postured up, kept his poison everything else, and Jerry was like, I respected it of him.

00:54:52
Speaker 1: They gave him the contract that Romo had wanted.

00:54:54
Speaker 2: But they got the deal done right there when they're sitting, like Romo said that, they were sitting like knee to knee is him parcel They're trying to get him out of practice, trying to get him to sign and uh, it's a cool story, but I believe that he might have had Parsons one on.

00:55:08
Speaker 3: You look at how much the pass rusher market went up just this offseason. I think Max was the first one to stop. Max Crosby at thirty nine million, miles, Garrett forty not I'm making TJ want forty five, Micah forty seven. I mean it went up seven eight million dollars in one offseason, which is unheard of, so it very well could have been a handshake.

00:55:30
Speaker 1: You miss not being in.

00:55:34
Speaker 3: That's why I'm playing in the Power.

00:55:38
Speaker 6: But when the Dallas, when Jerry Jones says our team got better after that trade, I fucking threw up in my mouth.

00:55:46
Speaker 2: Man, Like I respectfully, if I were to play the other side and disagree with you, we know how important culture is in the locker room. Dallas was a bottom five defense across the board last year. It's not like he was so all world. And then there's this, there's this part of being such a freaking so good at an organization to where you have the pod going, you have all the stuff going to where Micah is kind of transcending beyond the defense to where he's playing Michael Parson's ball. However he wants to play because he knows he's got the entire city, He's got everything on his side.

00:56:19
Speaker 1: You go to the Packers, you might.

00:56:20
Speaker 2: Have initially a little bit more of team playing team defense because you're fitting into a different puzzle. You're around different faces, different coaches, a different locker room. So that's where I find myself saying, like I feel like this was a win for both sides because it could have gotten to a point where even players are saying, I don't.

00:56:37
Speaker 1: Know this thatk did have. Hey, now we know what we're doing. We can move forward, kind of like this was a good thing to happen.

00:56:42
Speaker 2: Who knows, you can read in between the lines, but to where players are probably we got to figure out if this dude's even gonna be on the field with this. As great as he is, he's gonna get you sacks and everything else, but you still need to get better in a bunch of other categories. Getting two first round picks to where they have four in the next two years, and you bring a cornerstone or a leadership culture guy, good player out of a three time Pro Bowl with Kenny Clark, That's where, in my opinion, I feel like they won because you kind of get rid of, Hey, this is becoming this is getting a little too this problem. This food's getting spoiled over here. We need to get it while the values where it's at. We can get better down the road, maybe look to the future, but it's not like you're gonna get any worse this year. Based on the way that they performed defensively last year.

00:57:19
Speaker 4: He's either a genius or he backshit crazy because he got rid of a problem. Because yeah, he do have a podcast, and I feel like he think that podcast is what made him who he is with football, is the reason.

00:57:29
Speaker 2: Why did you twitter? Argue with that with anybody too? Yeah, so yeah, absolutely, you gotta respect.

00:57:35
Speaker 6: But then he goes and tell Green Bay Packer fans one day I'm just gonna disappear.

00:57:40
Speaker 4: You're gonna find me in Africa.

00:57:43
Speaker 6: I don't want to hear that as a fan that a player we just bring in, we giving him forty seven million a year says yeah, one day I.

00:57:51
Speaker 4: May just disappear on y'all and be in Africa.

00:57:56
Speaker 1: Like that's crazy.

00:57:58
Speaker 2: There's a side of like the individ is your player, individual player brand building that we all respect because it's like, get whatever you can out of the league because it's gonna get everything it can out of you. And then there's also the part of us that's also team locker room for the logo, the name on the front and everything else where. It's like, yeah, I can see why. Like to me, it's like this is a win for all sides. Green Bay going to get trying to go get their championship, get a high end, high level pass rusher and an icon with Michael Parsons and Dallas.

00:58:27
Speaker 5: Let's just let's turn the page. Let's move on, let's go try to win some games.

00:58:33
Speaker 4: Like it's going to be. Well, we're gonna keep our eyes on this one.

00:58:36
Speaker 3: It's gonna be outside of Micah though, I think this also shows not only that the fan base and the organization, but Jordan Love especially. We gotta get it down. Yeah, we don't know what the playoff record is. I think it's a little shaky. Obviously had that game against Dallas where he showed out, but then you know he's had a couple interceptions. We had the forty nine ers a couple of years ago.

00:58:57
Speaker 5: Last year, I really injured last year going it living into.

00:59:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean twenty ten, we had twenty two people on IR and hey, Rob made it work. So all I'm saying is they we are, we are all in.

00:59:09
Speaker 4: But who's your receivers? Though? You see when you say a Rod, you got to think about the guys y'all had on offense.

00:59:15
Speaker 3: We did have, Yeah, we did have Well I got him right here for hey, So here's Christian Watson still I think he's still nursing his acl But you got Golden who I heard as the best hands on the team route runner. If Jordan Love can throw it to Tucker Kraft a little craft, you know about one thousand yards this year. I want to say it was six seven eight hundred last year. Romeo Dobbs, Jayden reed like they've got a good draft and develop. Gotta stay healthy, gotta stay healthy. Everyone's got to stay healthy. But I see this has got to be Jordan Love's year to most definitely to take it over.

00:59:52
Speaker 4: We're at the Boys.

00:59:54
Speaker 5: You went Lions money line, Yeah yeah, would you go again?

00:59:59
Speaker 4: So we got off.

01:00:02
Speaker 1: Okay at the Boys parlay.

01:00:04
Speaker 2: Anytime touchdown here fellas anytime touchdown this our parlay.

01:00:08
Speaker 1: We went maybe one for twenty.

01:00:11
Speaker 2: Last year, I believe is the correct number one in the majority until I think Clay came up, was rocking with us to the majority of the parlays. With three Lake parlays this year, we bump it up to four. We look at what we did last year, let's move it up another.

01:00:24
Speaker 1: Let's go down. I saw this card and I thought to myself, we're starting one to know yet, and it's like, no guarantees, right, no guarantees, but nine, you can't tell me this one doesn't hit anytime? Touchdown player Derrick Henry, who would have thought low hanging fruit dropping the bucket?

01:00:45
Speaker 6: Next, Jamar Gibbs, let's go Ashton Genty, Let's get the rookie a touchdown.

01:00:50
Speaker 3: You're scar No, he's switch changed because you guys are I love these bits, So I changed my soul. Originally I had DeVante Adams. I figure I didn't hate that. We talked this offseason. He said he was doing all right. All right, he said he was doing right. But I'm worried, not about Matthew Stafford's health, none of that. I just I worry about the opportunity. I do think he will get one. He's had all off season to work on those red zone routes. He's a veteran. Mcvay's gonna want to get him the ball. But I switched over to CMC a little safer pick getting him back on the field healthy against the Seahawks. I see that one hitting. Hey, truth be told, I gotta give a shout out to my brother here, because you know my brother, your boy. Yeah, my boy, my brother, my bro, he's a He hit me with a stat he was in the top point three percent of Fan Duel Anytime touchdown betters. And when I send him to DEVONDI goues.

01:01:42
Speaker 1: I like it.

01:01:42
Speaker 4: But what about this?

01:01:43
Speaker 3: Sent me a list Chase Brown, CMC, James Connor, Nico Collins, Drake Line, and I said, just give me CMC. Let's just make it. Shout out Brian to be mad. And Fandel doesn't like it when I say it, because you know they want your money. We're all about winning over here.

01:01:56
Speaker 2: Okay, great, Sorry, gonna get spicy two with Drake London, big time red zone threat.

01:02:03
Speaker 5: But again I wanted to go, let's go running back.

01:02:05
Speaker 4: I'm running running back.

01:02:07
Speaker 1: It's more comfortable to go.

01:02:08
Speaker 3: So so what is that now?

01:02:10
Speaker 4: What are those odds? Eight and forty seven plus eight forty seven?

01:02:13
Speaker 1: You get those four?

01:02:14
Speaker 2: Jamir gives CMC, Ashton gent and Derrick Henry that is plus eight forty seven the Fan Duel sportsbook. When he was going with the DeVante Adams, I want to say we were touching around plus twelve hundred.

01:02:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, we was twelve hundred at first.

01:02:26
Speaker 1: Which I know you've loved four digits on your parlays. Yeah, that's like crazy Jesus all the way with the PARLAYSA five.

01:02:33
Speaker 6: Will if you do go Adams is plus twelve eighty two. If y'all want to take better.

01:02:40
Speaker 3: He might as well.

01:02:41
Speaker 4: But I want to take it.

01:02:42
Speaker 3: I love you want to start.

01:02:43
Speaker 1: We're going with the bangers at him as well, Drake London, No, I drink davante Drake London, you're gonna.

01:02:52
Speaker 5: Do I'm gonna do this one and I might go a little six piece?

01:02:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your start with going with a bang six? No? No, no, no, Let's win, try and win. Let's set the home for the season.

01:03:01
Speaker 10: I said that, like, let's go one to know first, nobody got a hotay they want to give out?

01:03:08
Speaker 1: I don't know.

01:03:08
Speaker 5: I don't have one.

01:03:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I wait, everybody want.

01:03:12
Speaker 1: You want week one to kind of Yeah? You want a few weeks one out week two? Yeah? I just thought we was I thought we was that one.

01:03:20
Speaker 4: I ain't gonna I'm gon way to everybody else go.

01:03:22
Speaker 1: Have you got something to say?

01:03:23
Speaker 4: No, I'm way to everybody else go because I'm a team player.

01:03:26
Speaker 5: What do you mean by everybody else?

01:03:28
Speaker 1: Go? Like we have a parlay.

01:03:29
Speaker 6: We all get a juicy parlay and we give it so we know might be on the internet today, probably not closer to game time.

01:03:37
Speaker 4: I'll post minds on the internet. Then next week let's do it.

01:03:39
Speaker 2: Let's let's since you have viewers, like, just say what it is. I'm saying, like I don't have mine, but it'll be closer to kickoff.

01:03:46
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh, let me put my log back in. You got official recognition? Yeah, that little code it makes you somehow like it skips that now I think you can check off that probably a little.

01:04:03
Speaker 6: So here here go a little little juicy layup, you know what I'm saying, a little juicy layout. Chargers money line that's plus one forty five, Patriots minus two and a half, Coats minus half.

01:04:16
Speaker 4: Ainything? How you said zero point five half?

01:04:19
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, yeah, might as well just did to pick them though, Like, might as well just do the Coats money line.

01:04:24
Speaker 6: Yea, but yeah, Jags minus three point, Jags minus three and a half. I'm trying to get a juicy parlay that's gonna hit. Just listen to me. And then I'm taking Bear's money line that's plus one oh five altogether, that's plus three thirty three, twenty.

01:04:40
Speaker 3: Two, three thirty three, twenty thirty three thousand, thirty and wrote like, yeah, one extra digit there, it's all good. Yeah, there's it, I said thirty three twenty two. Three of those three of those picture put in rewind, put that in post.

01:04:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, Colt's favorite by half a point. There's money line. Alright, that's right right there.

01:05:05
Speaker 3: You ain't fucking with it.

01:05:06
