Just wanted to mention four podcasts for me this week. We got Sunday night right now, live on Netflix. I'm going to do something Tuesday morning and then Wednesday night Thursday and I'm going to be live after both games, so a big four spot and then you're going to be on the ringer game show.

Now called ringer wise guys. We'll be live on Twitch. We have a whole plan for the big Friday weekend show. The games are starting. Do you like this Wednesday Thursday?

Three days. I kind of do. I like three days. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we waited long enough.

“Eight months of soccer and horseshit basketball.”

No, thanks. We're good. Yeah, man. Three days. Very excited.

podcast because Roger Cadell got extended, right? That's what this is. Right. He got extended over Christian Gonzalez. I have no idea if I'm going to put my corner back for this Seattle game.

Then we have our fantasy draft on Tuesday too. We got that. We got games Wednesday night, game Thursday night, all kinds of stuff to talk about. We have an action packed plan for this, by the way. We're new guests.

All ends first. And then afterwards, we're going to have our annual futures draft, which we usually, we usually do closer to the FC NFC thing, but the season, I can't remember, I'd ever starting this late. I know there are reasons for that with the calendar, but we're new guests on the power

that be. Don't ever start at this late again, like we're, we're ready in July. All our research is done. We have, I really felt ready this week, like I was ready to get going, but I know with the Labor Day.

I was watching college football. Watch college football all day. Yesterday, UCLA want to know, dramatic, pulled away from cow in the second half. Back out, that was fun, the Michigan game. Before we get to the lines, what was your take on the Michigan game, and did you lose

money? No, I didn't lose money, but I just, you know, my take is, okay, a couple of things.

One, a hell Mary should never be completed.

Like it should be like one in a hundred, not one in ten. So play some F and defense, that's my big takeaway.

“Secondly, can we get the stadium clock with the official clock to sync up?”

Like you and I, if we put our iPhones on a desk, it's going to go to eight o'clock at the exact same time, even though if you're AT&T and I'm Verizon or you've got your phone wherever, and I got my, why can't we get that to sync up? And then all this nonsense goes away. And Michigan's not that good, is the other take on, right?

Like Western Michigan really took it to them, because that's one of the tough games that in UCLA schedule is they have to go to Michigan. And then after you watch the yesterday, it's like, I feel in less scared of that one. Michigan people going crazy. Yeah, we did it, take that screw you in the ones I was like, hey, you have six losses

on your schedule. A and B, you really lost that game, because you storm the field after beating Western F and Michigan. Right. That's a loss.

Sorry. I also felt like we watch a lot of these. That was one of the only times I've seen them be like, oh, no, actually there's a split second left one more play. Usually when that's anywhere near zero, games over everybody walks on the field, all

that stuff. All right.

So background, if you've never watched this before, because we are doing this on Netflix

this year, we guess the lines, we send them to each other. Neither of them look. I try to be surprised. You look after I send the lines. And we have done this now for 20 years, and it started back when we were working together

at Jimmy Kimmeliv. You were doing it on your own with Parley Kid, we would send an office. We had desk right next to each other. And you'd get a U.S. edit ad on a Monday. You were sitting today.

You were sitting today. Yeah, I explained to people. Well, that is. So USA, it was a newspaper that went back to the day people would read a newspaper and set it on the online.

And you would read the lines that out guests and we would go back and then when I stopped the work at Jimmy Kimmeliv, you'd just started calling me on Sunday night. We started doing it.

This is year 20, it's an actual anniversary. It's really excited. There's a lot of pride involved, even though we really, anyone could shoot at any time because the every line is available from now until January, but we really do our best. I don't know.

We avoid like seven months worth of people cheating on our behalf. Yeah, I mean, people don't believe us. We're on gambling threads where somebody will bring up some and move back, hey, hey, get that off here. Right, right.

We really want to wait. I did see the patch Seattle line early. It was mistakenly. It was on a patch thing. So I had told you that ahead of time.

So we're just going to call that a draw. I have not seen any of the other lines until this weekend after I sent you my picks. Because, you know, I wanted to start thinking about them. And so I looked at some of them for teaser potentials, but I'm going to pretend to be surprised for most of these.

“And year 20, I think I'm 15, 3 and 1 or something over the 19 years lost.”

I don't know. Probably something. Who was last shot? I didn't remember. Isn't that bad?

Like, we don't even have any stakes. I'm talking about all this pride. I can't remember. We may have even tied. I think you won.

No, you won. I think I won. It's like in wrestling when we just have these title matches, but it just ends up being a countout. They would do it in the 70s and 80s.

So because it's ours and count it out. I keep even you by countout. I can't think of the strap on. Right. I can't take it.

A couple of things for a week one. Just to remember. And we'll talk about this all week on our shows. But the week one, divisional home underdogs. Usually you want to grab those and we'll see if we have any coming up.

Just in general, underdogs over, basically, they touched down or more.

Pretty favorable. I don't want to read all the percentages and records because nobody wants that. But it's just two things to keep in mind. It feels like every year, two or three of those, two or three of those get you. And in general, the underdogs.

It's a little shaded. It's like, what is it? Like, 55%. It's a little red. And it's a bummer, too, because the seven plus point underdogs are the teams we hated when

we did the over under wind totals, right? Like, I don't like the browns. I'm not taking the car, you know, and then, but yeah, no, they do cover, they'll necessarily win. And the big thing we're going to be looking, whoa, a bunch of things.

First of all, there's some great matchups. Yeah. But there's also, we, we, we bookmarked this last year. The game that ends up meaning the exact opposite of what it seemed like after a week one.

And last year was Raiders' Pats. The Raiders won it in New England. And it just seemed like, oh, the Pekaro, oh my God. And then, oh, the Pats, same old Pats, maybe it was a Mayos fault. And then by week 10, it seemed like the most ridiculous result of the season.

So we're going to try to figure that out as we guess lines first.

I had a couple of mailback questions really quick before we go. And this is a really important one. Barkley brought this up on my podcast, from Kyle Rector, is Jerry Jones still with us.

“How many years has he owned the cowboys and we haven't heard a peep?”

Interesting. So Barkley's theory is he actually likes his team this year and he scaled back. No, that's the one. That's the one. Right?

That Charles Barkley. OK. All right. Jones is like, I actually like what we did. I'm not going to be a problem this year.

Have we heard from him? You follow the cowboys much more close to than I do. Has he had a press conference? Where is he? What's happening with him? He's not doing as many. He would do these weekly interviews on the local dollar stations.

Not really doing those. Parlay that with the fact that, you know, last August, I think it was really right about this time of the year or in September. But he, yeah, he won. I, my comparsons agents back and tried to cut right.

Then he went to the mother or the family.

Like, it was always about, I think you're right.

And whichever Barkley you're talking about, I think he's right, too. Well, the thing is, we always used to have a joke and made August that Jerry just would make a decision. Like, I'm going to lead first take for a through straight day. So I'm going to do something.

I mean, they're going to decide. I'm not giving me an extension to somebody. I'm obviously giving an extension, too. Or I'm going to get into it with somebody. She just didn't do it this year.

Kyle Rector actually said, someone get Pablo Torres to get to the bottom of this. So that was funny. Yeah. Pablo Tory, big week for him. But Pablo Tory, that could be a good podcast.

If Jerry went on here from Jerry by week four, I must feel like that's an emergency episode of Pablo's pod. Where do this guy go? I like that.

“Listen, whatever takes Pablo's attention away from the two of us, I think is a good thing.”

That would be great. Yeah. Pablo. I mean, this was this cupper thing. I still can't believe it.

Not only was Pablo right, but on top of it, the cuppers, I can't even tell you the text threads of mine. I talked about a little of my pod on Thursday, but the fans are outraged. Yeah, everyone's like, get, get, get this is like, get us out of this. It's like being at a restaurant where they tell you, you had a reservation for 730, and they're

my car. What up? Give me out of this. Yeah. Every cupper fan.

“Pablo should be the interim owner, I think, of the team.”

I think that should be his prize for cracking the store.

That's a good idea. Yeah. Making like the front office guy, him and Sammy Coppupman, I would go for that. It's so funny, you and I and House were talking about the Shawn Watson has any player in the four major sports crippled their franchise for as long as the Shawn Watson has.

That contract, that trade, whatever it is. Good job. Good job. They would probably screw it up. Yeah.

And now it's now there. One, too. You could pick whoever wants one. The only other mail bag I just wanted to throw at you, because I was like when people call us out together, Leo from Pembroke Mass called us the nick names are, and he said

I'm going to throw a literal dart against the Simmons in South Nickname board and see if it sticks. Jackson Dart as we know is a reckless idiot dare devil, much like evil can evil. But he might be as the kid say, and South might say, "Mid, I give you mid, evil can evil."

Oh, nice.

That's a Jackson dart, Nickname.

Mid, evil can evil. It's a thinker. Can I, can we do it? What's this guy's name? You can workshop it.

It's Leo from Pembroke Mass. We don't want to do anything. Right away. Yeah.

“Because we play the Giants in six days and seven days.”

So I'm in a minute, evil can evil. Yeah. It throws for four touchdowns. Good point. Yeah.

All right. Guess the lines. We make guesses. Whoever comes close to Swin's year 20, Wednesday night, Seahawks Patriots. It is in Seattle.

The Super Bowl champs are eight, four, and three against the spread in the kickoff game. And the idea of my starting all pro quarterback is going to be playing in this game. It's just the weirdest thing I've ever watched. Like where the spoon got this giant extension, thinking as the same agent as Gonzalez,

it's an argument who's better where the spoon or Gonzalez. You can make a case either way, but they're both young, same draft, equally, really, really really good elite cornerbacks. Seattle immediately paid their guy. No one's going to not paid their guy and I have no idea if he's going to play.

With all that said, I'm going to, we tied on this already, but it's Seattle 3.5. I would have guessed if I hadn't seen the line, probably a whiff, I probably would have said four. Did you think 3.5? I think I would have said it.

That's four, too. It's exactly the same as the Super Bowl, or at least what had opened that.

“But yeah, why couldn't people go eight months without sending you the line?”

Isn't anything sacred? I saw it on Patriots Twitter. I saw one of the guys I talked about it. I just couldn't avoid it because he did the thing you just did about the exact same line. It's a Super Bowl.

Yeah, right, right. I try to get him knees, if I see any number, but I couldn't avoid it. I almost forget, yeah, that's a tough one to forget, but I almost forget immediately. Did you say eight, four, one? I wrote that the defending champ is 17 and four as it designated home team in the last 21.

I guess that's before they should be doing this Thursday game. Yeah, I had to kick off game. Kick off game. I'll get a little different, then, because sometimes I would have this on a Sunday this one. I really do this.

I think the pats are alive dog in this one. I'm not saying this. It's not spam bill. Seattle has some secondary stuff going on. They have sharpness, not, you know, not going to be there yet.

They're basically riding this rookie running back.

And the pats have eight months to think about this game and revenge and I don't know. I just, I love the seahawks. I like their overs. We talked about it. We're going to talk about them more in the future thing, but I like catching them here

instead of week 12. I guess it would be my point. I like it. That's one. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Like they don't have their stuff settled. They took them the second round. It's going to actually really play for them. He's out for the area broke his ankle.

Think the cornerback stuff's a little shaky with them. So it's a nice spot for the pats. Devil's advocate. Devil's advocate Drake may be because there isn't as much time in between the Super Bowl and you don't game one because it's going to be a little scared again when he sees that defense.

It's going to get, do that thing where he drops the ball. It's like he just rooting and strike man out. That was so helpful. That was incredible. You're rooting against any of your quarterbacks.

You should try it. It's fun. This day night, the Rams are playing the 40 diners and it's in Australia and both teams have done different travel plans for this. You guys talked about it a little on ringer wise guys on Friday.

This is becoming the most fascinating strategy thing. I can't, I can't believe how different the two things is. And it's one game, whoever wins, that will just now become the strategy for the rest of mankind. The Rams have decided to fly in 24 hours before the game and then just get the fuck out

right after. And the 40 diners are going to get there. They're going to try to acclimate. I've asked around. I don't know if you've asked around, but anyone I know who's done this flight thinks this

is insane by the ramps, like actually objectively insane. What's your take? My take is I want to write down every week, the big, big three narratives of the week. And if you bet accordingly, how do you do, I bet you don't do it as well.

It's a little bit of an arrogant move by the Rams.

And for the 49ers, it was easy. Let's take it. Let's fly as far away from that cancer box as early as we can on a practice field.

“But yeah, I think you need, that flight, this is not like a three-hour flight, like, you”

know, this is like from Philly to Miami or something. This is kind of, I mean, you're going to want to stare at the toilet moving backwards for three days before you want to practice, like, this is a lot of good stuff to look at. That's the furthest you've flown. Probably Hawaii.

What? Like why? No, we, oh, no, you've gone Europe, what is that 11 hours? That's right. Yep.

I just don't, 24 hours. And I can't really sleep on planes to begin with. And I feel like I would lose my mind. I heard Palacero was talking about this on the ringer and a felt show because he's, he's got to go.

He's going for Netflix. Yep. It was an interesting, like, watching strategy for this where some people think don't watch movies because movies have to start finish and movie engine, like, oh my God, I still have 20 hours like watch TV shows, it's more addictive.

“So watch a show where you have to be like, ah, I got to finish and try to just go on like”

an eight episode binge. My point is, like, this is the, it's so long, if to think about shit like this. And I just, I don't understand, I think it's so arrogant by them to do this. The other thing is, like, the 49ers were smart about it because a lot of those guys, they're banged up every preseason, right?

They have 10 guys going in who are questionable and they're probably like, hey, we got to get them, if we could leave in June, let's do that because who knows if they're going to survive this flight. Right. They, for the others, why don't you get away for their practice field? Yeah.

They left it dry. We may have to get like, I'll practice squad guys in there because I don't know if anyone's going to make it to the finish line. They might actually become normal human beings again after a week away from the Electro Magnet. Like, that is this, I can barely speak.

I mean, this is, this is like, you know, I'm going to take in this as a ramps home game. The ramps for foot at this game as a home game, right? And now it's even less of a home game because they're getting their late, they're giving themselves every disadvantage they can't. You guys had a really good conversation about this on Friday or whatever Thursday when you

did the NFC West and ring or wise guys, and we talked about it too last week.

I always get a little nervous with the super teams thing, the line is super high and

we'll probably, I know I have one in our future's draft. This feels like a nice time to catch them to at the start of the year with all the hype. Anyway, I have a, I did Ram's minus four for my guess. Would you have? We split this.

I said three and it's three and a half. See, that works right in the middle. You grew with that. I'm trying to think. Just really a thing, messed it up, messed it up at all, if that an actual home game.

Is it four and a half, five? If it's in LA, yeah, four and a half, yeah, five. It's in the Bible, it's a, yeah, they, they may have screwed themselves here. This is a healthiest of four denies will be all year. So if you had to bet an underdog between paths plus three and a half and nine are plus

three and a half. You know, Thomas, they're Friday, but where are you, are you leaning or do either of those like tasty? Just say one. You don't have to say San Francisco, but I really want to monitor this narrative, this

popular narrative thing and see, like this is a top three, like would you agree, this is a top three narrative, the Rams getting their late, like we should keep track of the other. Oh, that's true. I had come, like any time a narrative can cause me to have a conversation with my wife.

I feel like that's a huge one for the NFL. I was like, what do you think of this? I was left six days before the games, the Rams are just saying fucking going right in. Which team would you bet on just knowing that? She's like, that's crazy.

The first day you're there, your head spinning, like you're trying, I mean, I was just

embossed him for five days. I woke up at, you know, six o'clock time, and where I was, and I was only gone five days. And it was in the same country.

“You should tell her, like, honey, I took your advice, we bet $600,000 on the 49ers,”

tell her Friday morning, so if she says, winner loose, well, these two games are great. Yeah. We're two for two, and then the Sunday Marquis game, which I have as the Texans and the Bills in Houston, and I think that we have two different games. We have the what the fuck just happened game, which we cover with Raiders Pat's last year.

We'll, we'll come up with candidates for that. Texans Bills in Houston has all the makings of the overreaction game. Whoever wins this game, it's going to be Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday. This is it. The AFC runs through them, and it does a matter, which one wins.

The AFC's going to run through one of them. And the other white way, oh, the loser's in a little bit of trouble here. Right. They're scheduled. We're going over the loser schedule.

No question about it Sunday night.

Yeah. Texans lose the CJ Strahd conversation, start that night. Right. When we're doing guest lines on Sunday night, it's CJ Strahd will be involved five minutes. The Bills lose.

Then you can zag with a McDermott. He was the fall guy, but their defense look worse, and DJ Moore didn't help him. John, so we can only do so much. Yeah, I could hear it. Let's just do that podcast now.

And then we'll be guest lines. We'll do our next one. There it is. Yeah. I had Texans minus one and a half at home.

Yeah.

So this is our first tick tack.

I had Buffalo minus one and a half, and I'm right. Now, could tick tack over to your direction. But right now, wait a second. The Texans, a Super Bowl favorite, yes. In some respects, 15 that I would certainly, coming out of the AFC, the AFC favorite, I guess.

“A team that I think will be in the Super Bowl against Seattle, is not even a home favorite”

against the Bills who lost to who they lose to in the playoffs. Dens the right. Denver. Yeah. Very last minute.

Yeah. I think Houston's going to be in the Super Bowl to make it one-and-a-half. So if this game was in Buffalo, it would be Buffalo by three. Yeah, I guess so. I guess so.

Well, I don't agree with this at all, so. This is the only week I'm kind of not going to be five points off on a spread, because I sort of know, I don't have a bottle. But the power rankings are kind of right there in terms of over underwinds, right? And I think it's a little bit of a break for Buffalo getting this defense before they

get in the rhythm. I know you could say the same about an offense, but this is why in the play, Houston on the turf in September, I think the same kind of thing. That's when I would sign up for that. I thought defenses were better coming out of the gate than offenses.

I don't know if he'll be shut down, just, you know, two scores of game like this early on. That's a great game. I have two watchables.

“I think this is also a really good game, just from a, I don't know what's going to happen”

with you. You're going. You're going Texans. Teaser. No question.

Put that north of seven. If it stays, if it remains one to half. So we change the rules for ring or one oh seven this year. Wait. You like the rules, right?

I like it. Yeah. I guess we can announce this right now, this is huge. We talked fandle our friends into giving us a very special price on teasers this year. Yeah.

And I think it's going to be for bets up to $50. We are bringing back the teasers. This is a huge passion point of us.

We used to love teasers, the, basically everybody changed juice on them.

And it's a little like what happened in Blackjack, we're all the sudden we were, we weren't getting the same price when you get a Blackjack. Can't find any three to two tables. Yeah. Yeah.

Up on three to two, now you're going to be six to five. So we asked fandle, we talked to them and we lobbied them and we convinced them to let us bring back teasers this year. So the juice is going to be minus one ten on every, on any one teaser that you do for the week, you use our little code, we'll announce all that stuff later in the week.

So you're, you're suggesting Texans to plus seven and a half, maybe even take the over underdown put it with another game and that could be a potential fun one for your first teas. Far be it from you or I to explain the way to play a teaser, but the experts say that that's the way to do it.

If you take the plus six for the plus one and a half, if you adjusted six points, you're crossing the three, you're crossing the four, you're crossing the six, you're crossing the seven and you like used to the win this game anyway. So that would be the way. And people say you're not just like straight up, you like fandle has it at minus one

ten big deal, everybody else has these at minus one thirty nine minus one forty. Right. That's good. That's good. One thing with the teaser, the funniest thing with the teasers, like twice a year house

and I tea somebody through the zero and Raheem reacts like we threw a Molotov cocktail in his apartment. It's the most. Nothing upsets Raheem part right more than crossed.

So basically if you had like Texans were minus two and a half and I teased them the plus

three and a half, that's a good way to basically Molotov cocktail Raheem. He can't remember from that for a half hour. So one thing you can't do, you can't teased through the zero ever, man, you're losing a point. Oh, it's just gone.

It's a five point. It's not a six point. I'm blue again this year, not going to apologize either. The other rewatchables game we have are watchables game. It's in Indianapolis our first, or I guess our second home underdog, I'm guessing it's

“Ravens add Indianapolis and I think the Ravens are going to be favored and I have the Ravens”

favored by two and a half. Let me find this. All right, I had four. I thought the Ravens by four and it's three and a half.

Three and a half. Yep. Oh, I skipped, I somehow, I'm so attracted to get so I skipped the other one. Sorry.

First, Baltimore three and a half Indianapolis, a team that I think a lot of people are

pretty lukewarm on, everyone wants to see Daniel Jones, everyone's excited about the Ravens. Everybody already has the pencil name for six and one and start seven. I have multiple Ravens, but God, I hate the hook. I hate that this is a three and a half, this makes me nervous. This feels like a classic, I don't know, I don't like it, so don't you feel like

just, what do you like it or not? It's a team you like, if it's team you picked last week to go way over the total or over the total versus a team you picked to go under, just go with what you have, right, for week one.

“Like if you have to, if you have to look stupid, then it's on you for waste and research”

for three months. That's kind of what I'm doing here. But that was my column, I wrote, I meant two thousands. I wrote the symbiotics column and it was basically like, you have the whole off season to figure out who you like and you got to stick to your guns the first two, three

weeks. So, it's the only time we're going to be right and I feel like Daniel Jones, this is another narrative, right? Either he gets buried by the media or praised as an exame Donald, I feel like there's no one between.

Right. I will probably, my guess is I would probably think the Ravens money line and put that with something because the hook scares me. T's it through zero? Were you up or down on the cults, I can't remember?

No, I'm down. You were under, right? Yeah. Yeah. The other watchable is an awesome game, Bengals bucks, fantasy guys all over the place

in this game. It's in Cincinnati. The Bengals just continue to be the sexiest off season team. Everybody's just all in, people love them and everybody loves the bucks at the ringer, too.

I heard your NFC Southpie. I mean, I talked about it. You were, you had the NFC South when we did overunders. Everybody going seven and 10. I made an passion case why I thought Tampa was a great value.

Even if you look this weekend, Tampa over eight and a half. So just to go nine and eight in a shitty division, it was still pretty good odds.

“I think it was like plus one ten, just for them to win nine games.”

I'm in on Tampa. I was cycling the Bundo was also in on them because I was waiting for him to make some long and passion case why they were a full-skilled, but I'm like, I like the front seven. I think they're going to score.

I think Baker was hurt last year. I'm not scared of the bulls thing yet. They usually start out fast and then fade as the year goes along. And I don't know. I just like this spot for them.

So I went, Bengals minus three was my pick. All right, Bengals minus three now I lost this. I said Bengals minus three, it's three and a half. So we split it. God, I haven't hit one yet.

I don't know, man. I just, I'm really going to, when you tell me, you're like, oh, I made all these NFC soundbats, futures, I'm like, you don't tell me it's like you're cheating on your why I'm like, don't even, I don't want to, don't tell me, I don't want to hear it. I'm going to do bad things with that information.

So I think you compare Banning on the NFC sound adultery. It's worse.

It's probably like some kind of second degree.

Somebody's got to win the NFC sound. I know, they just, they hurt my feeling so much the box. They were better than every team last year. I don't understand. I don't understand.

I know. The better made a good point about how bad their defense was. So there were basically 28th EPA, the last six, seven games. I can't defend that.

“I think my sag on that division is it's been so bad and so erratic and so stupid for so”

many years. Got to come around. That it's not scared everyone off from even looking at their logic. I just think if you look at it logically, they easily have the most talent. It's not even close.

And they have, they're, they're draft their way better. Baker being healthy. I think really matters. I like some of their skill guys. I just, to me, they're alive dog in that game.

And the team they're playing is similar to what you're saying. Right? A lot of talent up and down the roster for Cincinnati.

At least offensively, you know, I know Jack Taylor always wants to fast forward to

week four because we've got one and two. Oh, sorry. I got some funny Bengals fan emails that were upset that I was so down on their offensive line. What?

They were like, it's eating through like, it's not good, but it's not. Bad. You're wrong. Our offensive line. If you look at Stad A, Stad B, Stat C, even Brandon Thorne, who's the guy I get

most of my offensive line opinions from because he's the best at this. He studies it. Go check out his sub-stack if you love offensive line stuff. He DM me and was like, they're not that bad. They're not like, they were a couple years ago.

He wasn't saying they were good, but he was like, they're not that bad. It's an exact and pressure rate like, I'll help deep do I have to look into this.

They do have a couple above average guys on the line. I don't know. It's, are they as bad as Washington? No.

Are they as bad as their first four or the five draft picks defensive, defensively, they're

awful too, right? They scored like 27, the 33, two games in a row and law 37, two games in a row and lost both games.

“So, they between the offensive line and defense, that's what I worry about a little.”

They load up on defense, but I'm still trying to figure out the whole thing where we made the defense better because this will make it easier for Joe Burrow, right? Okay. So, your defense is going to get out the field more often. So that means Joe Burrow is on the field more often.

How does that make it easier for him if you're still not blocking for them? They claim they're going to block from, my memory of the Bengals the last couple years is Joe Burrow just running for his life over and over again and taking huge hits. Yeah. I don't see the camera on Burrow as they drafted defense after defense after defense.

He's saying, oh, wow, this is going to help me. This is great. You know, it helps some blockers. Anyway, we'll see that one.

Bucks is looming as my favorite one.

So with ringer 707, we're going to do four picks. I'm doing four picks with house on Thursday night. You're going to do four picks on your show, ringer fantasy, ringer NFL. We're all going to make four. And then we're saving the fifth spot for Sunday morning because we want to get more

info. That was our biggest.

“The thing we're all frustrated with last year is locking these picks on Thursday”

and you and House that I would be texting each other on Sunday morning like, god damn, like, I really like this team. I wish I had them and whatever, so now that's where we're doing it. Okay. We're going to take a break.

We're going to come back. We're going to finish the guest lines and we're going to do the future draft. Let's do it all. This episode is brought to you by Mikkelob Ultra. It's a small moment where we have the most fun sometimes, like having a friendly little

competition with your friends sees the fastest or could put better in the back yard or who

can get to somebody's else's house or the better route. Whatever it is, even better, if put some Mikkelob Ultra in the line or refreshing way to up the stakes, like, me and House are going to pick games against each other on Thursdays to send a fel season. Maybe we keep track in ways of Mikkelob Ultra's six packs.

I'm happy to do that. Maybe Mikkelob Ultra will make a special BS podcast or ringer six packs. And then we could, we could barter them back and forth. Whatever it is. By the way, they should do that for us.

Superior is worth playing for Mikkelob Ultra, Superior Lightbear, and refer a chance to when Superior Soccer Basketball Golf Prizes at Mikkelob Ultra.com/SuperiorAccess, enjoy responsibly and cooperate at 2026, and House are Bush, Mikkelob Ultra, Lightbear, St. Louis, Missouri. So I was telling you under the break about my contact one situation, but I have terrible eyesight as you know, like really, really awful eyesight, and my contacts have to be,

I have to order them in advance. It takes them like four or five weeks for them to make my contacts. I can't just be like, oh, I'll get them online, like they actually have to like, you know, I'm like minus 10. Every six months, I'm supposed to change them.

I thought I'd change them in March, but it was actually January. So I realized this four weeks ago, I'm on month nine with these contacts, and the new contacts are coming this week. And I'm now at the point where it's like, I can't really read that well anymore. And it's like sliced alone, next to Adrian's bed, trying to read it, as she's in the

coma.

“Um, it's just like blotchy, so anyway, that's why I'm squinting and looking because I have”

four more days. My contacts are like about literally about to die in my ass. Oh my god. Yeah. It takes up, but there's no, there's no temporary fix.

Okay. Oh, I guess you have the ones in now, right? I really need my, I, I, I really need to figure out my, I think. Hmm. There's, how is, how have they not figured out eyesight better at this point?

Like I don't know. For when they were doing the surgery and it was made like six, yeah, the Lasix, but it's, I'm not eligible for that because my eyes are so bad, but I think it's just not figured out any of this. Hmm.

Anyway, that's why I'm pouring a hot water and lemon in your eyes. Maybe that's what it is. Oh, it's, oh, we're going to. All right, guess the lines. Fairly, we watch most Detroit is home for the New Orleans Saints and I think we watch

it. I think they're going to make this a movie. And I can't see it. I can't see if it's free watching was the watch most. Fairly watch most.

I'm not sure if it's free watching. This is one of those games where I have a big opinion on one and a lesser opinion on the other, and I'm just going to go with the, I'll tell you, I'm going to go with the bears here, but I do wonder, here's another narrative. Is this the, you know, this is one of the team can't stand a play in 103 degree heat game. There's always one. So glad he brought this up.

Let's party with talk about this every year. Carolina, Tampa, Miami. Jackson Jacksonville.

“Yeah, those four, you just, you have to look at the weather as it gets within three days.”

And if any of those are going to be 80, like 82, 83 or above. You're going to have the road teams going to have problems.

And we see it and they die in the second half and it's just that thing that happens.

And it's like, yeah, the mama says 83, but trust me, it's 177 degrees on the field. Right. Who's the former kid to go to J. Feeleer that that other guy they have? And it's like, guys, it's so hot down here. I can't even see it yet. And then you're like, nothing.

I bet on the road team. This nipples around. Yeah. That feels bears Panthers. It feels like a stay with me.

Next one is Jaguar's Browns. I put this as a fairly watchable only because of the Sean on the road. This weird Jaguar's team. This has all the making of that Raiders pass game from last year where everybody puts the Jaguars and this looks like a let's be careful to me game.

I have Jaguar seven and a half over the Browns. Yeah, you got it. I said seven, I thought that was enough. It is seven and a half exactly. But I'm not fired.

What? Yeah. This is bad now, right? What do you have? I have three in a row. Yeah, it's six to five.

Okay. Yeah. All right. But yeah, I just, I think this is a boss watch to Sean until until we've had enough. Making fun.

Couldn't agree more. I'll put it in the four box in the early slope. I didn't tell you this, but my daughter has a game. I should be saying this on Sunday at 11 a.m. PT.

Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is for some reason.

I think that's happening. So I'm going to have her game on the big TV. I'm going to have the red zone on another TV. And then probably Bill's Texans and those would be my three. Wow.

I can't not put her on the big TV. Like this is her last season. No, you have to watch. But can't they get, you could get them to move it. Can't you?

“Honestly, I'm completely outraged by the Emerson coaches on this.”

Mmm. Coach, Sue, and Coach Collins just in all time outraged to put this against the week one NFL. How does it feel like a personal attack? Yeah, of course. No, it's like, I think it's the only Sunday afternoon game they have.

So I would be by myself.

I don't want to be near anyone.

And I feel like everything's going to be tied together in some way. I don't know if there's a way to parlay her game with any of these games. I love it. Sorry. Oh, I don't.

I don't watch this. Sean throw forward instructions. Yeah, it's all right.

“I think I think it really is your score in the second half.”

The Sean was going for a fifth interception. I had to switch it. Uh, jaguar's brows. Jaguars look like I can stay away. All right.

Packers at Vikings. Yep. I think this is going to be another home dog. So a lot of the Vikings. I think out of the 32 teams.

I think have had the widest array of opinions in all the preseason pots. People are like adamant that they love the Vikings this year. And then other people are like, that team's going to suck. They don't have talent. I've only heard the former that, you know, this is all.

It's defense.

They know what they're doing.

Nobody can name three good guys in their defense. But the defense is awesome. Such a step up. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's like. Flores does the matter who he has. Yeah.

Yeah. It matters a little bit who he has. Flitzing schemes are the best. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't really know how they won those last four games. And Kyle Murray is a step up. But he's also, we talked about last week by every metric. He's not going to make just a Jefferson. Yeah.

A superstar. Yeah. Packers feeling a little nobody believes in us too. Yeah. Everybody's kind of kicked them in the curb.

Parsons isn't coming back until midway through the year, et cetera, et cetera. I have Packers minus two over the Vikings. Probably too high. All right. After the stare at this now.

Yeah. I don't really believe it. I had Packers by one and a half. And it's Vikings by one and a half. Whoa.

Let's end the tick tack. I guess because there's a lot of Kyle Murray buzz. I mean, he hasn't been a one point favorite since some and I see a lot of a lot of. I don't love the Packers buzz to with no Parsons. Yeah, right.

Their defense without a. Okay. We lost the home dog. Yep. This last one.

I've already made the teas with this team. I put them with. I put them in a money parlay with UCLA last night. Thanks again. Bob Chesney.

Um. Eagles home for Washington. I feel like this particular matchup has lost everybody. Significant amount of money over the last 10 years. Sure.

“How many times like what what has gone right in an Eagles Washington game from a betting standpoint for anyone you know, including us?”

I can't think of one thing. Yeah. I'm usually you're right. This should be a stay away for sure. And it's like a 425 kickoff.

So that there's always a weird one in there.

And Washington has a real aroma about them. And it's not a positive aroma. It's it's an odor and the Eagles. You know, they're going to go 11 and 6 like they always do. And this just seems like a layup.

Why is in this line going to be higher than my guess, which is Eagles minus six at home? It's not even that high. It gets you. You get the nod here because it's five and a half and I said four and a half. Oh.

Yeah. That's an absurd price for the Eagles that that's basically bait. It's basically everybody's been burned by this game so many times you're getting two free points. This line should be seven and a half and you're the very first trend. You'd read off right the division opponents getting whatever seven seven and a half.

So they don't don't make it that high. That's also a gigantic narrative that you know, Command is online sucks. It does. Because it does suck.

It's sitting in their eulogy. Yeah, against this loaded defense. I guess so.

“I think I'm just too into Jane Daniels and sure.”

I don't even know why. Would you make stewers? Falcons of fairly watchable or a poop factor or a rewatchable. Your pick. It's a pretty watchable.

It's a. I guess fairly watchable. Could you have to. I hate him. I'm not putting this on.

I'm watching Zoey over this one. Well, I'll move it up because otherwise we would have had four. Poop factors could do that. Stewers Falcons. I do think this is a fairly watchable because.

I'm really sure to see how bad the Falcons are. I think that's a team that over the course of the month. Everybody has turned on and you could see it with the with the lines. Even, you know, since we talked about it last week, I think the juices moved even further ahead of them.

On Fando where they have the winning and losing record bets, the losing record bet. There's actually been action on them. They moved up. I think they're like 12 to one now for.

That is to be like over 21. There's Mike McCarthy. There's some stewers could be a little bit. Sleepy and the AFC is like a 10 or 11 in team. I have stewers minus three and a half.

Let's one two. I said three. I made it, uh, the made it three and a half. Four, five, six, seven. Eight.

Eight to six for you. Yeah. I don't want to watch this. The Falcons, I've read two 16 and one all time against the stelers. And they have no one to rush the quarterback.

So Roger's going to look good. Here.

“Can I give you some reasons to watch other than gambling?”

Sure. Who's playing quarterback for the Falcons? Yeah. I know you hate that. I'm.

I'm literally asking. Do you know who's playing? Because I don't know who's playing. They didn't announce it. Yeah.

Right? So he doesn't know who's had no training camp or two of who should be out of the league. And it's going to be one of those, too.

Um, with the stewers that a front seven that is always great.

It feels like the first two months and then loses team as it goes. But so why isn't this higher? Just because you're trying to think of their win totals. The stelers are eight and a half, right? That land is down.

They six and a half. What do we have? The land is basically six and a half. Yeah. Yeah.

Stewards at home. At least out the words. Don't team outdoors. Right. Perfect.

Already. Salas revenge. Um. Titans home for the jets.

“I can't say the Titans had a, had a lot of buzz coming out of the preseason.”

Um. Can't say there's a lot of excitement about this team. Um. A little bit of buzz. Um.

Um. I have the Titans as home underdogs in this game. I have jets minus one and a half. Yeah. This is your.

Um. Or it's one, I think. And the one we differ the most. I said. Okay.

I said Titans by two and it's Titans by two and a half. So I get this. Ooh. Okay. Well, we'll see.

When it usually went off by that many points. That means I'm going to, I'm going to bet. Well, I'm going to bet on myself. I'm going to bet on myself on this one. I don't think the Titans should be favored of good.

Anybody. Whoever wins, let's just not do the could they make the playoffs could. Let's just not do it. I mean, here. Here's what scares me.

House said he looked back over the summer. He has eight week one wagers on the jets. So maybe it's bad before September. Jesus. What's open.

Eight hundred. Number. That game is more fun than Raiders dolphins. Which is in Vegas. Kirk Cousins.

Malik Willis. Two teams that had been thrown around the. The number on Pick Race. I have Vegas minus two and a half over the dolphins. I have Vegas minus two and a half as well.

And it's three and a half. Hmm. By the way, we just put a pole on a pole up about the. About the jet's Titans. So because we're.

We had such a disparity. All right. All right. Well, Kirk Cousins. We'll see what the Netflix people think.

Let me ask you this. I don't want to really want to watch any of that game. I'm just going to ask you. Does the US open men's finals get a bigger screen than Miami. Las Vegas and the Simmons household.

No. I don't care about the US open five. Oh, huh. Okay. I did.

I did stay up till over two o'clock. When I was in Boston, watching's bear of almost.

Blow it in round one, which would have been the first time.

That's happened as a one seed losing in a major. It was like in 30 years. The answers are going nuts. And I got sucked in and then I was up till three in the morning after. That's great.

I gave tennis a compliment saying the night edition of tennis and exciting night game. The disparity between a exciting day game is unlike any and on any other sport.

“I have a hot take and I think it were Eduardo needs to get ready to cook this out.”

Because I feel really strongly about it. I've watched tennis my whole life. I play tennis. I love tennis. tennis matches are too long.

Ooh. We've lost a narrative with this. These guys are too good. The the rallies and the points. And these these matches are four and a half hours routinely now.

Yeah. And I just think it's absurd and I've talked about this forever. I don't think anything should be four and a half hours. Like literally anything. Movies.

Sporting events. Adinner. Anything. I don't want to do anything. I don't want to do anything.

I don't want to do anything for four and a half hours. That's supposed to be entertainment. Yeah. And I just think they really have to rethink this. And all the tennis players are going to be like,

That's crazy. Fuck you. Go fuck yourself. I get it. But I think they should seriously think about changing the sets from six to five for winning the set.

Oh, sick. Change in the set. See, I was going to propose. See, I bet tennis all the time because it's on dirt a day before out of seven. Well, they do two out of three sets for men's.

When it's not a major, it's in the like this. If you're watching the Cincinnati open on a Wednesday. It's like that's two out of three.

Women are always two out of three.

You would just go to five instead of six. Whatever we have to do to not make this four and a half hours.

I just don't think it's that entertaining.

And I like tennis. And I'm sure you brought me a morning watching one. You did. I know. And the whole time.

I'm like, why the fuck is this four and a half hours? It's absurd. In baseball, it's when the baseball game's got too long. What do we do? We're like, this is too long.

Let's get a pitch clap. We got a fixus and tennis. It's like, Oh, Joe convention about to have a stroke on the court. This is great. What's wrong?

He's dying. Like, I mean, what's fun about this? It's a lot. Joe, this could even like hit balls back in the fifth set. Yeah.

He was just like letting that letting serves go because he was trying to say. His energy for when he served. And it's like, once we get to that point, I just think it's much harder to play than it was during the Mac and Rob Borger. And just what it just is. So our flying around for every point.

I'll give you that.

“And that's why maybe the night game is better.”

That's why you won't have to worry about everyone dropping dead from heat stroke. But you'd have to check the ratings. I feel like a lot of people start tuning in and that fifth set. They'd also tune in if it was five five games instead of six. All right, I don't care as much.

I'm sorry. Yeah, you're, I forgot. I shouldn't have done this to you when you were in football mode. I'm really care. We mean you don't care.

You better not run this tennis. I know. I brought it up.

But I just, I never really thought about it.

Charger's Cardinals in LA. A rare LA football game where they're not going to be. They lose by fans from the other team because we don't know. The many areas on a cardinal fan. Won't see a lot of boot of Baker jerseys.

I'm going to outside of so far. This is also a classic teaser. I have Chargers minus eight. Let me find this. Oh, I had eight and a half.

It's nine and a half. Hmm. What way high on this? Yeah, because they don't want us to tease because they knew we can mid spin. Mm-hmm.

All right, those are three poop factors. Same thing. Cowboys, giants. At New York. You're going to be favored.

You're going to be favored. You're going to be favored this game. Cowboys minus two and a half. I had Cowboys minus three.

And I was bummed to see that it was two and a half.

Not because you got it because now I have to think about. I mean, this is potentially awesome for you. You get an immediate crack at celebrating my grief. Minutes after. Yeah, I'm not coming right on.

Game winning 72 yard feel go at the buzzer. So I think you lay this back down. Oh, really? I do. I love the Cowboys this year.

I know, everybody. I'm looking at them for best record in the NS, like the one seed. All that shit. Yeah. We just get used to the giants.

Everybody gets off our case for a minute. It's somehow we've won nine episodes. I'm already a basket case about this matchup. What did the Bundos say?

“17 of the 26 guys from last year's defense are no longer on the team?”

For Dallas? Yeah. Yeah, that should be all. Yeah, you guys are going to be good this year. Yep.

Yeah. And there's a poll up now. And that's like, we'll shall be shedding tears next Sunday night. I mean, either way, I think it's yes. I think it was very smart to stay away from medieval conneval.

Yeah. I don't want any part of that. Yeah. Talk to me next Monday. So we have giants as a home dog.

Panthers. Wait, did you win? To have a chance. 10. I think I won.

You're one in 10 night. We have four home dogs. I think we're. I think we're both going to hit this one. This is the most obvious tick-tech one of all time.

Monday night can't city at home for Denver. And I have chiefs minus one and a half. I swear on my kids, I achieved minus two. And it is two and a half. Hmm.

See how that works, people? See how on satisfying that it was. We split. I feel like we cheated. We tied way one.

I feel like you cheated. I have a 89. 10 to 13. 10 to 10 including ties. There you go.

Chiefs minus two and a half, huh? What do we listen with the chiefs here? It's my home's nine months after an ACL. Yeah. It's Kelsey three months after he got married.

It's a complete overhaul of dad and all these young people. They have a young secondary. It's a team that I feel like is going to take five, six weeks to be whatever. It's going to be week one again, Sean Payton and the Broncos. A team that felt like they should have made this Super Bowl last year.

That feels like they're better, even though the schedule is not better. I just don't see how the chiefs are favorite like this. This is feels like a mom's read thing.

“I think Fandle's throwing their hands in the air a little bit here.”

Like the chiefs would normally be the three point favorite, right? But what people aren't talking about is this is bone X's rehab game too. Right? We didn't see him. He got hurt in middle January.

That's fair. Messed up his legs, so it's like, all right, let's say, I mean, they pushed it as late as they could. Monday night for my homes to rest up surprise.

All right, so we tied.

“No, I will not be crying according to our Netflix faithful 67%.”

Thanks, guys. Appreciate that. So they said, that's what they say. They're never wrong. Future's draft.

It's time. Let's go. Come on.

I'll give you the first pick.

Since I beat you last year and guess the lines. So that enables you to get the first pick. You're also going to be in this. I look, I look back. We gave out 34 futures bets each today.

We're going to try for 100 each, but no. But I thought I was like, oh, we did well. We both gave out winners and then super fan Chris Haynes reported. Simmons ended up up 3.98 units. It was down 11.94 units.

Oh, you were down last year? Yeah, I guess I was down. I blame the chiefs. So part of the art of this is we want to have some winners that are going to be around even plus 110 plus 115.

Yeah.

“But we want to have some long shots too.”

And we want to be able to go back and forth. And and have a nice mix of both, but really try to hit. Like one of the ones I hit last year was Mike Frable, coach of the year. That was like, I don't know, 10 to 1 or 12 to 1. Right, putting one unit on all of these.

So you hit one of those and it's worth like 10. So the art of this is some long shots. Right, staples and go all the way around. You've the first pick. We say one unit.

We recommend one unit is $10,000, but whatever you guys want to say. $10,000 per unit. Okay. It's how we're going to do this.

Take I go first, then you take two or we just go back and forth.

I'm fine. Just going back and forth. It's up to you though. All right. I'm going to start with my favorite.

And I can't believe it involves the jets doing something somewhat positive, but it does. Okay. The New York jets to come in third place at even odds. I think this hits by three or four games on either side.

I think the paths and bills are 10 plus. I think the dolphins are four minus. They have not built their team like the jets have their jets are actually trying to win. I believe it or not. I have the jets at six wins.

I think this is a lock of all locks, especially if my amm is battling for that first pick in December. Late December. Give me jets third place. Plus 100. I had it written down.

It's great. It's a good one. It's great.

Ironically, my first pick was going to be a variation of that.

The falcons. By the way, you can find all these unfandel, including the exact order bets for divisions, but also you can bet on the jets to be third place. I have a parlay. The falcons and the dolphins.

To both be in fourth place. Plus 343 unfandel, at least yesterday when I did all my work.

“By the way, if you want to throw a Minnesota in there, which I'm not going to do, plus 1056.”

But falcons doffins is my first pick. Plus. I like that. It's like a two-a-terror. Two-a-killed.

Both the teams. You're right. It's like a two-a-two timer. Yeah, that's it. I honestly can't figure out how either of these teams don't finish fourth.

I think your road map for the ASEs is a lot easier because we're going to have the jets at least trying for the first few weeks. I don't know if they're going to have an ASEs left or left. They don't seem to be carried off. Falcons, I think the saints or the Panthers would just have to really stink. But I don't, I just don't see how the Falcons aren't in fourth place.

So anyway, that's my first one. What do you got? Uh, about this. Chargers get eliminated in the first round. The playoffs.

Plus 172. One out. The last three years they've made the playoffs. I think they're going to enter as a three seed. They're going to scoop people up a little bit.

I'm going to go into the home. I have a losing to the 60 to chiefs and round one. Chalk that up is a one or one way or another they're losing in the first round. So this is just a Herbert shorting value. Yeah.

Right. It's pretty good. It's like how we would bet my homes every year. And then okay, every three years they'll win the Super Bowl. This is this is the other version of that.

Yeah. So ways you lose. They don't make the playoffs or they're the one seed. Right. All of their scenarios you're in play.

I don't really like that. Okay. Oh man. So many good ones left. Are you done?

You could tap out if you want. No, I have so many. I really love this one. I'm not going to do it. I'll do one that that I love that I've wagered on myself.

I have Houston and Seattle both to make the playoffs. It's plus plus one 12 on fan door. Basically even odds. And I don't see a world where either of these teams don't make the playoffs

Now, I've learned my lesson from last year because we got burned.

We'd had some three team play off stuff. And what what I took away from that by mistake and in my lesson going forward is three teams are just opening the door for. We're shit to happen to stick with the two you really like. One in each conference they're not, you know, they're going to be each be doing their own thing.

I just think Houston's defense and Seattle's defense. Those are going to be two of the three best defenses in the league. I just be shocked if either of these teams didn't win ten. Plus one 12 sounds great sign me. I like that.

I haven't bolted back in the playoffs. Why not a plus money. Yeah, who beat us last year? I in general. Can City, can City killed us last year?

And Detroit, the job Detroit too. But can City killed us? We lost multiple.

“It honestly ruined what should have been an awesome year for me.”

Right. But I had all these different can City bets that murdered me. Yeah. But all right. All right.

You're up. I have this by only NFC South bet. God bless you. You're going to have it doesn't. But it's a it's a cousin Sal special on fan little bill.

You could check it out. On the ring settals right there. Okay. All right. It's a combination bet NFC West to have more wins than the NFC South.

The and the AFC West to have more wins than the AFC North. So okay. Say that again. I forgot already. Now NFC West to have more wins than the NFC South.

Okay. So that's been Seattle. Yes. That's by 10. AFC West to have more than the AFC North.

So you have the, you know, you could have three double digit win teams. And if the Raiders are competitive. I guess you need North. We need the chiefs. Yeah.

Yeah. You need Cleveland. That to be good.

“You you're hoping Cincinnati's not like an 11 win team.”

And I don't think Pittsburgh's going to be very good. That's plus 165. If you put those together. Wow. That's a really good one.

The AFC part makes me a little more nervous. Yeah. I think they other one. I thought was great. But I like the juice.

The plus 165. You mentioned the NFC South. He got me excited. So I'm going to bang this up. Tampa to win the NFC South plus 175.

I honestly. This is America. But this is still the price. I don't understand it at all. Plus 175.

You're the best team. This is like you went to the doctor. And I say, hey, you got to stop drinking. Now, again, whatever doctor. And you get to the parking lot.

You're doing shot to you. I'm ice over the car. Like what? Why? With the NFC South enough.

One of the things that's appealing is a different team seems to win this stupid division. About Tampa and a few in a row. But usually when we have the screwed up divisions, a different team wins every year. And it's out who's up this year, Tampa didn't win last year. Okay.

Yeah. So what was that? Tampa plus 175 signed me up just to win. Okay. All right.

One more sale special on Fandal. Curse the ringer. Rams win the West. The NFC West. Yep.

Chargers make the playoffs and Cardinals lose their first five.

That's just the fun one. Plus 250. Yeah. Cardinal playoffs. Zona loses their zone.

It goes on five. They have the most owner's schedule in the week. They're at the Giants week four. I feel like that's their best shot. Otherwise they're such an edgen point dog.

Yeah. Yeah. You really. You did your homework this year. I can tell.

That's a bad one. Always works off. Yeah. All right. I'm going to take this off the board.

It's a defensive one. I can probably get this later. But I want to do this. It's not a jinx. As you know, I like winning more than jinxing your teams.

I have Dak Prescott to win the MVP at 181. I just like the odds. I think that team.

“I think one of those two NFC teams is going to be really good.”

Especially because of those four washed in Giants games. It's just like your team. We talked about it earlier. Jericho quiet. It's notable.

He's got weapons. He's, they figured out the pick and sing. He's going to be able to, they're going to be able to run the ball. I just like the odds. I don't understand why his odds are 181.

But Burro is like five to one. So you got to be, yeah, that shouldn't be that wide. But he should be right in there with the rest of the favorites. If Dallas is 12 and five or 13 and four, Dax is going to win the MVP because the freaking media machine behind the Cowboys,

you know, right anyway. I like the app. Don't, don't make, don't clip that off. Go, hell, don't, don't even bother with that. That's nice and everything.

I appreciate it. But anyway, we forgot to welcome Tony Romo to the podcast. Yeah, he's going to be, he's over my own business. It's going to be the last season. Yeah.

Tony's got some time now. He's going to hang with us. Yeah.

He's going to always invited on the podcast to join us.

The real Tony. All right. That's good. I mean, I, I like Dax for like most passing yards and passing touch sounds. And when he, I just wanted a Dax problem before you grabbed one.

Yes. I knew, I figured you had to grab one. That's fine. Okay. You know, he's not in the NFC South, right?

You're still okay. Making a future. I'm okay. All right. This is stupid.

You're going to hate this. But. Zack Teller. Coach of the year. That plus 2700 now.

I think I got.

“I think he's either first coach fired or coach of the year.”

Yes. Nothing in the middle.

And our friends at Fandal are too nice to let us bet for first coach fired.

So 11, 12, maybe 13 win bangles could get Zack Teller some hardware. Imagine that. 2700. Who do you think is going to be the first coach fired if it's not Zack Taylor? Oh.

Oh, no. I feel like we talked about this. What's going to be some run. Because balls would be up there. Tampa starts out slow.

Yeah. But it's less than you think. Right. It's just let there's less candidates this year. Because we are.

I know there is. It's just let there's less candidates this year. Because we are. I know there is. It's just let there's less candidates this year.

Because we are. I know there is. It's just let there's less candidates this year. Because we are. I know there is.

There's just less candidates this year. Because we are. There's just less candidates this year. There's just less candidates this year. There's just less candidates this year.

There's just less candidates this year. There's just less candidates this year. There's just less candidates this year. There's just less candidates this year. - Expect, Aaron Glany, if it's just, oh yeah,

Aaron Glany, he's just a little bit last year. - Yeah, yeah. - That team has to get an interception. - All right, okay, that was my, you go. - All right, I'm gonna take this off the board.

Just 'cause I don't want you to have it. Price on the Seahawks. Rookie, Notre Dame. 750.5 yards rushing. This is over under on Fandel.

He was being drafted like a $25 to $30 running back. If he doesn't get 750 yards, somebody got hurt. Like with the way that team runs the ball, the zone blocking, which I'm sure they kept. And I, seven, it's a 17 game season.

750 yards, that's 45 yards a game. - Right.

- So he'd basically have to get hurt, not to hit that.

“I think they're gonna need 'em, I don't know,”

I don't know if Sharberna's coming back. The other guys are all third string, fourth string, running backs. I think they're gonna use this guy and ride him, and I'm grabbing it.

750. It's reminds me of a book last year, which was one of mine that hit, and it hit in like nine weeks. But it was like, who, who else are they throwing it to? Other than him and Mike Evans, like we just watched it.

So anyway, price 750.5. - That is a low total. So what does that 40 should be play 17 games? It's like 47 yards a game? - It's a crazy total.

- Yeah, I don't really understand. - I'm right, price is right for price. I'm gonna write that down over 750 and a half. - All right, I'll stay rookie here since we're doing rookie, I picked this award,

they're offensive rookie of the year. Correct, we two are the last three. I'm gonna say two and a half really, 'cause I book, who you brought up, was in the driver's seat for like nine weeks before,

just disappeared. - He got hurt. - Baker got hurt. - Yeah, he killed a lot of fantasy teams too. The John Stripling, oh, for the 49ers, plus 850,

got hurt, out, Ricky Piersle on IR, who knows what value could they sign if he plays whatever kiddle starts banged up. I think this is plenty of opportunity to catch passes from Perti, who was like top,

I think eight in yards per game. This guy had back to back 800 yards with Ole Miss, who might have the Mike Evans injury, like that's the point. - Yeah, right, so he got Evans there.

So he had four catches in the preseason

“and all over 10 yards, I think he's gonna be,”

I'm gonna go Ole Roy at plus 850, and I think like you can get him for most receiving yards to a plus 470, but 850 for these purposes, this is my pick. - And that was 20 to 1 at one point.

It was pretty high at Stripling. - Stripling that drop, yeah, that's the best number. - So T-Mac won last year, yep. He came on late like a freight train,

normally I'm always afraid of Ricky receivers,

but the two almost won last year. - Okay, I have another one. This is... This is the goofiest one, and I can't decide. Ah fuck, I'm just gonna do it.

Okay, this is a parlay with three receivers. This is one of the only ones, yeah. Matthew Golden on the Packers to get 600 plus receiving yards. Jalen Coker on the Panthers to get 600 plus receiving yards. And Reheat Shaheed, Rashid Shaheed, 500 plus yards.

Receiving.

- Wow. - And the only way I lose that is if one of those guys gets hurt for half this season. Shaheed is the number two receiver on the... - Yeah, I'll explain, is that it?

- And if you remember, like they traded mid-season and they were trying to figure out how to use them, but he's their deep threat. I'd feel like he's 500 seems low. You could talk me in the 750 for him.

Coker, who, holy cross zone, awesome playoff game last year against the Rams. I think he was like 12 for 140. He was hurt for most of the years. Gonna be the number two receiver.

Basically, he was out of the loop for three bonds, came back.

And then Golden, the Packers went from five receivers to three. So if you think Jordan loves gonna throw from 354,000 yards, he's got craft and three receivers. All of those receivers should be over 600. So plus 561 for me for that.

- Those make sense. - But it's too many overs. - Like this is how... - It's how it is. - Money, just bad fibers.

“- That's why I said this was badly one of these.”

- All right, let me show you how it's done. - Okay. - Puka, under 107 and a half receptions. - I love it. - Now I know he had 129 last year.

And so this would be a big drop-off. But not that big, if you have to sit two or three games for unforeseen reasons, or for scene reasons. So he's got some groin stuff going into the season. That's the groin stuff we know about.

- So least of his problems. - Yeah, exactly.

- So 104 105 catches would still be incredible.

108 over let's say 14 games is like eight catches a game. I don't think, like, also the starters might not even play the fourth quarter and some of these ram blowouts. So I really like the under, I don't rule for injuries,

but also there's a comeback from Australia. - Yeah, that's the other day. - Yeah. (laughing) - They're going in there, leaving the next day.

It's like 50/50, he's at the plane. - A rest it for fornicating with a kangaroo. - Yeah, which apparently is illegal. - I love this one, that's a great one.

“Especially if the kangaroo thing happens.”

Now, you're catching somebody the year after the best year of their life, right. Somebody took a lot of big hits who already might have some injury stuff going and definitely have some other stuff going.

So I really like that one. Okay, can't believe this is still on the board. I looked at this as under seven and a half plus two ten, but I'm gonna go one higher 'cause I just wanna win this.

Washington and Atlanta, both under eight and a half wins. Eight and a half wins, both teams, plus one twelfth. - It's good. - I just thought of it. - See, there's two.

- Who's gonna put the South and everything, man? Just open up a waffle house in your backyard already. What are you doing? - Who's going nine and eight out of that combo? - Neither, I had to do that.

- Plus one twelfth, yeah. - Plus one twelfth, I love it. - Okay, I like that. - What do you got? - By the way, I should mention

on the Washington, Atlanta, the two NFC team. We talked about this last week, but these are the two NFC teams. I'm just shorting everywhere I can. - I just think both of them are gonna be bad

and I still feel like the market is not adjusted. I don't really have an AFC team like this that I feel like everybody's off on. I think you could make the cases, like Indianapolis, I was excited

and I think you went under for us that was one of your favorite buddies. - Yeah, yeah. - But I don't feel like it's like, I feel like these are short things.

- Wow. - But these teams cannot go nine and eight. - Yeah, no, no. - I just don't see a world where either team is that, Washington, Camp Block, Atlanta is in a quarterback.

- And Atlanta has probably the worst front seven and either conference. So, I just, that signed me. - Why don't you bet them to go all one five? I'm sure there's odds on that.

I don't know where they are, but I might have the worst front. - I might have the worst front. - You could just follow them losing over and over. - All right, this is better, you're not gonna like this,

but you could do this with any team you like in this division, I think. - Okay. - Green Bay to be the two seed at plus a thousand. - I have them the way the vision,

I have them the one in the division at plus 280, but I think it's a better bet and you just do this with the NFC North Winter who should have not as many wins as the NFC West Winter,

“but I think more than the Cowboys Eagles,”

I know you're high on the Cowboys and certainly more than the South Winter, right? - So, the West team, the West Winter is the one seed, and then I think the NFC North is the two.

- So basically, instead of betting Packers

to win the division, yeah, you're betting them to be the two seed because you're gaming that to be the second best division in the conference. - They'll have more wins than you're,

they basically just have to have more wins than the Eagles or Cowboys or your Tampa Bay box, whoever you have. - Ten to one odds, pretty good.

- I don't have the bearers to win, I have the vision, right?

“- I have the lines, you don't have the lines, all right?”

So you'll get the, I don't like it though, it's to me that you're afraid of the NFC South, I'm afraid of the NFC North, NFC North, yeah. Okay. (sighs)

I can't believe I'm doing this one. You're gonna be so mad, it's another NFC South bet. What's a matter with you, what happened? Baker Mayfield, 4,000 plus passing yards plus 340. So, I like that this, I studied it two years ago.

He threw for 4,500 yards. Last year he was on pace to do it, before seven parts of his body got injured and then everybody else got injured. I think their offense is gonna be good.

- 4,000, 17,000 game, that's 200 and what, 230 yards of hand? - It's a pretty good game, yeah. - Every bone is body broken last year, but if he goes 17 games. - Offense of line, didn't have worse last year.

He has his left tackle back. I think they have a top four offensive line, I think they're gonna protect him.

“I think he plays 17 games and I think he gets this easily.”

I looked at the 4,500, too, as 19 and one, thought about it long and hard, that that was aggressive, but he did do it two years ago. - Did you mention the contract here? - I remember, that's his contract here as well.

- A little FU as well, a little FU as well. - All right, what do you got? The only thing is that defense has, if their defense is better, that hurts there into his numbers a little bit,

but as long as we're talking 4,000 plus, about Trevor Lawrence, plus 160, not as good a number, but probably because he had 4,000, seven last year, and a team led the league and drops, 45 drops. - I love this.

- So if you cut that number to 30, which is still really bad, he should go away over this number. Like you could escalate at the 4,100, you should be okay there, too,

but I'm gonna go to law 4K plus 160. - I love it, and I'm gonna follow it up with another 4K bet, okay? Caleb Williams, plus 210. - It's good one.

- All the same reasons you said, I actually think they're positioned to throw the ball a bit more this year than they did last year. You're two of Ben Johnson. I feel like Caleb's gonna be better this year.

Their schedule is fairly hard, which I like, you almost want the games that are going to come down the fourth quarter where you know the guys out there.

“I think that's what her Drake may last year”

with some of the passing stuff 'cause sometimes the games were done,

but Caleb's just never going to throw for 4,000 yards,

like he's gonna do it at some point. - Just to keep the joke going. - Yeah. - Wanna keep going? Do you have another 4,000 yards?

- Okay. - Oh, I don't know if I have a 4,000 yards or something, but similarly, Christian Watson, 10 plus receiving touchdowns is plus 340. - Wow.

- So he's never part of that wide receiver. Slog is no longer part with the, yeah, they could love, could focus on him and read and craft and golden, like you said. He typically gets between six and seven touchdowns,

but at the he-ups at the double digits, gets behind the defense a lot. So do that 10 times plus 340. - Sadly, after having been burned by him multiple times in fantasy, I don't know if I can support him

or Christian Watson best. - Fine. - Yeah. I can't support this bet though. David Montgomery, now in the Houston Texans,

1000 yard rushing season, just needs a thousand. 1000 one would get it, just a thousand, give me to four digits, plus two, 20. Good defense. Is that sharing it with Gibbs or anything like that?

Oh, actually he's gonna be a workhorse. I just feel like a lot of 20 for 72, 19 for 75, 22 for 68. 1000 yard, 17 games. That's less than 60 a game and he's way, way, way better

than anyone that had last year. And it was the biggest hole they had last year. So, I like that, plus two to one for that. - Less, take some heat off of Woody Marx.

- Yeah, I always try to go by his yards per carry,

but it's not really fair 'cause he's a goal line vulture. So he's getting a lot of one and two and three yards. - He has to move the chainser. - Right, and that's a key point.

Like they had him out there inside the four. Chew and up is, now he's gonna actually go. All right, you're up. All right, here's a weird one. Fant Joseph, assistant coach of the year.

They have this on Fandel 11 to one. One in previous year's by Josh McDaniels, Ben Johnson, Jim Schwartz. The Denver defense right up there with you. - All right, I didn't even look at this one.

- Yeah, the 68, 63, sacs the last two years.

He came in second last year of Ant Joseph

to Josh McDaniels. He had like 80 votes, McDaniels have one, 30 or something.

“So, I think he wins it this year, plus a 100.”

Was Mike McDaniel the favorite for this? - Mr. Ben. - Yes, I believe he was. - Yep, now I can't find it. - Who's your Dallas defensive coordinator?

Christian Parker, 34 years old. - It could be another one, good one. - If you guys go from like one of the five worst defenses in the league to like, 14th, yeah, that's true. I'm rooting for vats Joseph though.

- All right, go on big upside for this one. I can't believe he didn't take it. It had sour it and all over it. Malique, what you're talking about, Willis. Thousands of yards rushing this year, plus 850.

- I have something like that. Damn it. - That is the most salbet possible, plus 850. He's gonna run the ball 10 times again. Maybe 12th.

- Oh, great, two of them. He might have a game where he's like 22 for 70. I don't know. But plus 850, I couldn't resist. - All right, this is the one I couldn't resist.

Malique, Willis, God forbid we have, we don't have Malique, Willis, future. - Yeah. - So there's some special section. - Most quarterback rushing yards is plus 500.

- Oh, that's even better than mine. - No, I don't know if it is, but he's gonna have 2,000 yards rushing. Unfortunately, he only like 600 or so are gonna be beyond the line of scrimmage.

- Forget about that, it's the facts. - Yeah, yeah, but they don't count against you. But that you don't get things for sac,

“so I think plus 500 could work out for 'em.”

We haven't seen a lot of them in pre-says and whatever, it's not like he's playing games, but I do wonder if there's gonna be a really funky team to play. Whereas just like a lot of running and weird shit

and almost like watching some of the stuff you say I was doing last night. Pell kill a teaser with a fourth quarter, seven-year-art touchdown run against us somewhere. Mark it down, I'm marking it down.

I'm also gonna mark down this one. Seattle and New England together, over eight and a half wins. You like that piece?

'Cause there's a third piece coming.

Rams under 13 and a half. You put those together plus 145. So Rams go 13 and 4 are worse. I'm basically getting win. Because Seattle and New England are both winning nine games.

Plus 145. Interesting. I really like that one.

“I was trying to figure out different ways”

to bet against the Rams. And that I just feel like them going 14 and 3 seems absurd. With a top heavy roster with the schedule they have, the Aaron Donald plant probably playing 30 plays a game for the first three months of the year.

Some of the schedule shit. It's a Australia game. Like if they lose that Australia game or they go in 14 and 3, so I want to figure out something with that. All right, I feel like an idiot

'cause I did all this research and I fell out with the Rams. I mean, we'll give our Super Bowl pick at the end. Is that what we'll do? Sure, that's one.

Yeah, so, but I like the first two.

It's hard to believe a year ago, Patriots and Seattle were favored to not make the playoffs. Like going into this, just outrageous. I'm gonna do it to you what you did to me here with Drake, maybe.

What do I want to do here? You're gonna probably should I want to do 35 plus touchdowns or do I want to do AJ Brown to attend plus? All right, I'm gonna do AJ Brown 10 plus. You're assuming touchdown.

I knew I should have taken it. I think that's a really good comment. I had to read down. You gotta read, it's not enough to read it right now. Plus 240, there's a world I hate to say this

and there's an emotional edge where maybe throws for 41 touchdowns, 39 touchdowns, and AJ Browns can't reach 10 of those plus 240. It's a great bet. I also looked at the 12 touchdowns for this,

which I think was, what was that? Like plus 300, something more, yeah, more, yeah, more, yeah, yeah. So you got it plus 125, plus 240, 10 plus. Plus 240, I get it on there. I wrote down plus 125 for that.

It's like your 10 or for eight. I mean, it's over on there is, is like, should you eight or 10? I did 10, 10, okay. Yeah.

All right, well, then I'm gonna have to get you back. Miles Garrett defense and player of the year, four to one. I know it was on your list because I know it was on your list. I know you've been looking at it and you've probably been in real life and he will have one of those.

He's just gonna love being center of attention and being in big games. And here's the other thing with this.

I was looking at his sacks where he'd have like 14, 15, and 17. He'd there in these games where they're down by 20 points,

you know, in the beginning of the third quarter.

He, like, when you have somebody like that and you're up 10 in the fourth quarter, when you know the other team is passing all the time, that's when people get sacks. So he's gonna be in these situations that he's been in

four times a year for the last five years. And now it's gonna be over and over again, but he's gonna try to be Marianne or Rivera in these games. So, I feel like he got like 25 sacks this year. - That's easily the smartest thing you've said in the last.

- Thank you. - Yeah, that's the trend. - That's good. I didn't realize, yeah. I mean, how does he get all these sacks for the Browns

when the team is just running the ball trying to hold a lead? And he did it anyway. And now it's the opposite. Good job by you. - It sounds good.

“- That's what Lombardio is just to talk about.”

Like these pass rushes when you have leads. That's when you really want the pass rush because when you know that the other team's gonna do, and you have these teams that have a good pass rush, but they're offense sucks and they're down 10.

It's like, well, what's the point of having a good pass rush? - It seems running the ball. - All right, they're certainly. - All right, I'm gonna let me do one of these 'cause I lose sleep over these one team like Detroit

or the Chiefs doesn't make the play off, so I'm taking teams to not advance to the postseason. I'm taking the Colts, taking the Browns, taking the Giants, I'm taking the Jets. - I'm taking the Cardinals.

And it's only plus 156, I gotta tell you something. I'm not worried about any goddamn one of them, right, the second. Thank you in advance to Danny Dimes and Darton, the Sean, and Jacobian Gino, good lord, those names,

plus 156. - So indeed Indianapolis is the one that could screw you here. - Probably. - There's smart people on the Giants. Smart people on playing for the Giants,

they're on the Ducky was on the Giants, which I was shocked by. It's like the big, basically using the new coach theory with the Giants, that Harba, you know, changing, which I love the new coach, Sarah,

I just don't know if Harba is an upgrade from Brian Dayba on that way, maybe a wrong old coach. - Yeah. - I don't know. - You're a boomer.

- Remember, of the New York Giants? I drive without Travis. - The flame of odds went way, way up after that. - Okay, Vikings fourth in the NFC North, plus 175 is off the hood.

I don't like that. I didn't wanna parlay that with anything. That's just a straight up.

“I think they're the worst team in the division.”

I think KOC is an outside chance for first coach. I am just in disbelief with the love for Calamari. I don't get it at all. We'll see, I'm happy to be wrong.

We always need more good quarterbacks,

but I just like that team by far the least in that division. So plus 175 sounds great. - Good for you, man. You did it.

I have a couple of these. You tip me off to these team acts to have more wins than team Y. Love these. You know what, since you did the Vikings,

I'll do this too. Chargers, more wins in the Vikings. Mine is 130. I just did the math. I have the bolts win in the AFC West

and I do not have the Calamari lead Vikings at 500. - Mine is 130. - Mine is 130. - Chargers, more than Vikings. That's a really good one.

Okay. I'll keep the momentum going with what you want to do here.

I'll keep the momentum going 30 second plus.

- You know what? I don't like your attitude, so I'm gonna take Calboys over 10 and a half plus 500. Take a little time on it. Plus 500, is that right?

Plus 500. - Ordin, burn and money. - I like this because instead of betting the division, betting them to go 11 and 6, they'd win the division, but the division odds are plus 170.

- Right. - No, 11 and 6, I get plus 500 for that. Sign me up, why would I not do that instead of betting them on the division? - That's right.

- I'd rather have the 5 to 1, 11 and 6. - Love and fame. - I hate this a lot. - Jinks, I'm betting your team. - That was my team.

- That was my team. - That was a good work. - Listen. - I'm not lying this year in the Cowboys. I have actual money in the Cowboys this year.

I'm gonna be rooting for them to win. And you just kind of fucking suck it up and get used to it. - Wow. - This is what we're doing. - We're both rooting for the Cowboys this year.

- Maybe you'll be more depressed next time. - Yeah. - We'll both be depressed together. - What do you got? - Be John Robinson, I know you didn't like him.

We talked about it, the ringer fantasy draft. If you had gotten too seed, or if you had dropped to you, or the number two pick, I took, most rushing yards, plus 750, he was fourth with 14, 78 last year behind Taylor, Henry and Cook.

- Yeah. - Out three or older than he is.

“I think they're gonna lean on him a lot.”

If you're right, and Atlanta can't figure out

and he's used to it, so plus 750 for most yards. - I'm gonna follow that up with Falcons under five and a half wins. Plus, plus 190. - Wow, been that like 90 seconds since you're here. - Yeah.

- Good, plus 190. Falcons five and 12 are worse.

“I think they will have any top five pick next year.”

- That's back up. - Yeah, that's pretty good. All right, how about this? This is an exact finished parlay. - Oh, Raiders' fourth.

- Yeah.

- Gets third, already like that.

Cardinals' fourth, plus 229. - Raiders' fourth, Gets third, Cardinals' fourth. - Plus T29? - Who scores, who scores me there? - Honestly, nobody, it's maybe the Gets.

- Good man. - That's really good. - We'll take it. I'm gonna put C-Hawks NFC West plus 210 on the board. I just like the odds.

- No, for the life of me do not understand why they are such prohibitive underdogs against the ramps. I don't get it. I think both teams are probably two of the best teams in the league, but I don't understand why there's a dramatic disparity

between the two. - Which was better? - There's way, way more room for error with the ramps. - Right. - You're talking like seven eight guys

where two go down and it's a different team. They've no depth at all. - Yeah. Should be able to bet that we can't team the sides it

'cause they're always seems to.

- The edge. - It's a full one. - Yeah. - All right, as long as you have plus 210 on your mind, this is my Falcons, the Colts on their six and a half.

Plus 210. Just the Colts. - It's Colts. - Colts in mind, under six and a half, plus 210, both of them. - No, no, just the Colts.

- Oh, just the Colts. - Yeah. - Are they regular seven a half? - Yep. - Thanks, though.

- Yeah, so there you go. - So that's a six and a 11. - Six and a 11. - Did you tell the bundle you're doing this? - Yeah, he endorses it.

He covers his eyes and he knows what's coming. Because that was ridiculous with Daniel Jones did.

“And I think he's gonna have the toughest time”

coming back from this injury. And then what?

Richard said it's like third string.

- String. - We're skipping over these injuries, not you and I, but just in general, like everybody is superhuman and just come back right away from ACLs and Achilles. And you know, Tatum came back for the Celtics.

They ramped them up and misgames seven. - Quickly, he used to know when the AFC South. It's still plus 120. I like them so much more than every other team in that division.

And really it would be only Jacksonville who is coming off as we discussed in the over underpied. It's like not only is there a regression candidate, but they had an abysmal draft, you know. They lost their first pick in the hunter trade.

Nobody liked the rest of the guys they took. They lost Travis, CTN. And I just accused them better in them. So plus 120 sounds fantastic. - I'm with you.

- Can I pick you back a plus 120 Texan's bet too? - Yeah, it is it. - The Texans tab more wins than the Eagles. I just look at my, I see 12 is bigger than nine. - Right.

- I think that's honestly, I think they can win that by two games, at least. - Mal, man, you're gonna be mad at me. I have another one. Houston and Seattle over nine and half wins each. - Alright.

- Tampa over eight and a half wins. Plus more, 22. I need 210 and 7's from Houston and Seattle and 98 from Tampa, plus 22. Signed me up, sounds great.

I have broken by rule of not putting three teams in a parlay with all granders. - I just didn't. - You had a real run. - Yeah, you know what?

- I'm not gonna apologize. - Not even one commercial break. - Nine and a half each. And then Tampa over eight and a half. I would honestly be stunned if they couldn't win nine games.

That just means Baker got hurt or their left tackle got hurt. - I hate to do this as a friend, but I really wanna root against Tampa and for Atlanta now, so that you hate the NFC South as much as I do.

“And it's the only way this is gonna change.”

- Yeah, this is the only way I'm gonna learn. - Okay. - Fair. - Alright, what do you got? - We'd run it out here.

- Yeah, 'cause I have a lot more. - No, no, no, I can make another offense for a few of the year, pick two, right? Can I have a couple? We're just the one.

- Chico B Lane. On the NFC side. USC guy, third round pick for the Ravens. Harbour on Neville would start these guys. He would like these, like not first rounders.

He was a third round pick, so he would send them right to the special teams. - Right. - But he's getting first string reps with Jesse Mithers, virgin of the Ravens,

so I think it's worth it at plus 2,200. Chico B Lane. Welcome to Team Sal. - Plus 2,200 is nice odds.

I'm gonna do this as a tandem, just because I think it's a tandem bet. So it's two bets, but I like the two as a combo,

“because I think it has to be one of these two teams.”

- Okay. - Baltimore 1 seed plus 500, Houston 1 seed plus 750, that you do both and try to hit one.

So basically, it's one unit each, I mean, they're out two units,

are I'm up four units or I'm up six and a half units, but it's basically a bet on Baltimore or Houston will be the one seed. Fando if you wanna throw that up as a ringer feature bet, knock yourself out, but I think it's those two.

I don't see any other team in the AFC, having a better record than those two teams. - So you're saying the West Battles each other? - Yeah. - There are winners 11 games.

- I think it's probably Baltimore's, do the same. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's basically, I like the Baltimore for the one seed, 'cause the schedule with Houston as the hedge plus 750. - Okay.

- That's the move. - I kind of enjoyed that one. - Yeah, that's a good one. You took me through it. - What do you got next?

- Let me do, let me do Parker Washington over four and a half touchdown receptions, minus one 22. - You, mother.

“- I knew you had it, and I think you're gonna bid,”

would you have for $11 on him to know our draft? - I love Parker Washington. - Five or more touchdowns, minus one 22. - Oh man, that's a what's going. - It's minus one 22 though?

- minus one 22. - Okay, all right, good afford. - I'll take the other, where's the other Parker? Isn't there a Parker Washington? - Oh, yeah.

- I have him a thousand yards plus one 65, not that. So we both, we both have Parker Washington insurance. - Yeah.

- I thought he was incredible down the stretch last year.

I love him. - It's just, he put it together. He was open all the time. Teams knew he was gonna get open, and then he would get open and Lawrence found him

and he's awesome. I think he's the best receiver on that team. - Yeah. - They're just at past game in general, it's gonna be great, I think. - All right, emotional head share.

- Oh boy. - Hertz 10 plus rushing touchdowns plus 145. - You know, it was hit like every year.

“- It did, I don't think it didn't hit last year, right?”

I'm pretty sure it took a tumble last year, 'cause that whole offense, right? - Right. - Not good. And here I am like singing songs about how oh,

the Tush push only worked 64% of the time versus 81%, but he's gonna shove it right up my keyster now again. Yeah. Yeah, he had eight last year, 14, 15, 13, and 10, the four years before, they'll hit 10.

- They're gonna play with a little more pace this year too, it sounds like. - Yeah. - So would you get for odds for that? Plus 145, and then more.

- All right. Continuing with my Baltimore theme last year, I hit the coach of the year, in this year, I think I'm gonna hit it as well. Jesse Binter, plus 850, for coach of the year.

I think it's a good way to bet the one seed with Baltimore, and I probably just should've done that instead of what I did, but they won, I think, they either won eight games or nine games last year, I can't remember.

But if they're a 12 or 13 win team, yeah, combined with all the stuff we've been reading, which we talked about on the podcast week, about how much the players love him, blah, blah, blah, blah. - I just think he's every year there's a guy

that comes in, who is the hottest assistant, who comes in, and it's just an awesome coach right away. Two years ago was McDonald, last year Ben Johnson, this year it's gonna be him. I just, I think it's gonna be him.

So plus 850 for that. - It's good one. - I have Zach Teller, and you have, so I'll be funny if it's one of those two. - You have Zach Teller, the way better juice.

- It's stupid, yeah. - I'm, Dolphin's worst record. Let me just grab this plus two, it's funny. You wanna win money? How much you wanna win, Bill?

You wanna win 22 million?

- Better millionaire. - On 10 million, on Dolphin's worst. Plus two, 20, way too many young players, way too much dead cap money. We went over it last week, disgusting.

Sorry, we'll equal us, but this is what it's gonna be. That's a good one. It was on my list. Did I do what, I did Washington under yet? Have I done that?

- I don't think alone. - Yeah, I'm gonna do Washington under five and half wins. Plus, plus two, 20, just like the value. Because I have the Atlanta one that I took earlier.

So basically, if one of those hit, I'm up, right?

It's basically a Washington or Atlanta two to one odds that one of them will go five and 12 or worse. And I think I think both of them could, but yeah, plus two, two. - You hate houses team, Thursday, nights are gonna be fun.

- The ironic thing, house is like me, when his team sucks, he'll be the first to tell you

“and I think he thinks they're gonna suck.”

- Yeah, it does. - Yeah. - And it's felt like we called her regression last year, right? Then, do you think we should have called this podcast Harlan Cohen's guest alliance?

Is it Sun Netflix? - Oh, is it Kobe and Harlan Kobe and Harlan Cohen? - I don't know. - He's the guy that's on Netflix. We hit, like very few people get to put their name

in front of the show. Like Tyler Perry gets to do this. - Well, and obviously didn't work 'cause you don't know how to say, it's Harlan Kobe, Harlan Kobe, COBE, yeah. - Yeah, he puts his name in the front of the shows

and they always crush on the streamers, interesting.

- When we could have done Harlan Kobe's guest alliance year 20 and I wonder if it would have done better on Netflix. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's a good, yeah.

- It's a two-light. - Let's put a poll up, see if it's two-light. - All right, this is a thinker, but yeah. - Pat's succeed is plus a thousand. I like them make the playoffs, it's really good.

- But not one of the vision. - Yeah. - I don't think they'll have as many wins as the two West teams that make it, but still enough to get to the postseason,

I like them, looking for the seven seed, too. But the six seed is plus a thousand, and I do think you can track your brain and hedge out of it, too. We've 18 somehow.

- Really smart. I was looking at them at that two-wind the AFCs plus 140. And I was gonna do it later, but since you just directly attacked me, I'm gonna do it right now, paths to win the AFCs plus 140.

I said this to you and did the overrunters. I have no idea why them and Buffalo don't have the same odds. Nobody can explain it. Buffalo, as gamers, as people who think about the lines in the action, when something doesn't add up

to what it actually should be, just because a team is popular or there's narratives that I've nothing to do with the actual thing. That's what you wanna be. This Buffalo thing, everybody just has decided

Josh Allen is gonna win 11 games for the rest of his life.

“And there's, I think there's some real question marks”

with them. And for some reason, people have way more question marks with the paths. I'm not saying who's right or who's wrong. But to me, it's either or.

They have won 11 games, six years in a row. Haven't they? I get it, but they just fired their coach. Yeah. And it's like, Joe Brady's gonna be great.

I don't know, is he? What are your favorite Joe Brady moments? It could be the new variable, who knows? Maybe, make variable had one though. He'd gone to the AFC title game.

Well, is that a giant? It's Joe Brady done. How big of a favor it's all there for that, for the division? The Buffalo is a slate favorite for the division. And there are minus and the paths are plus 140.

Yeah. I'm saying they should be the same odds. So I'm grabbing the action, that's fine. What do you got?

“Well, I think you have one of these, but you haven't said it yet.”

And I think if you give this guy protection, and let him sling it, and the Chargers end up with 12 wins, that 111 for Justin Herbert, for MPP, is a fun that. Yeah. I like it.

I'm too high on the Chargers. Who are you too high on? Ravens? I'm too high on the Chargers. You know, I was gonna be there with you until the center got hurt and the left

guard center, right guard combo, everybody who is like, this is gonna be a bomb and a bull. That really scared me. It's a slater's the key. I have a Herbert one as well, then I'm gonna get off here.

I think it's slightly better odds than what you just did.

And it's basically the same bet.

Justin Herbert, 4,500 yards, 12 to 1. Oh yeah. Now I looked up, because I was like, he's thrown for somewhere around there, right? He threw for 5000 yards once. Yep.

That's in 2021 range and now I'm like Daniel and they're gonna have actually a healthy offensive line. This is one of my favorite bets. Let me write that down. Would you say 4,500?

4,500 yards, 12 to 1. Yeah, that's great. So you figure he has a 475 yard game and like a 460 right? He'll get close to 1,000 in 2 games and then the rest, like where there, it's just like a shootout, whatever happens.

And then I just need to keep him healthy the rest of the way and I'm gonna get my 45, I like that. Yeah. All right. All right.

What do I do? So you're gonna hate this? OK. But who do you have for come back play the year?

And I like it. It doesn't mean he has to win 12 games. So I've boycott this bet after whatever when they change the rules about what constituted to come back. I just got too confused.

But you're right. It's probably something like that. Don't we want something to scream about? Like, yeah, like this is they tell you Aaron Donald is not eligible because you can't be retired and come back.

And yet he's sitting there as a third favorite of plus 850.

Why can he be retired and come back? Is that the definition of a come back? I think it is. Football for three years and then that came back. Yeah.

Guess who's coming back? Aaron Donald. Yeah.

“I think he counts as a come back player.”

Yeah. I find it hard to believe my homes is to get a win this unless he gets like seven and 10. Yeah. He's such a big favorite though.

Plus 150. All right. Another favorite of mine. What am I favorite guys in the league Mallory took him in our ringer fantasy draft right ahead of me.

I was upset about it. I tried to I didn't want to give it to the satisfaction. Brock Bowers, 1000 yards plus 135. That's a couple things for this. One when he's actually healthy.

He gets between 90 and 130 yards. That's one. Two.

There's always less late games and you need stuff to root for in the late games.

And most of the time, it's just two shit teams playing each other that you can't believe you bet on the game. Right. It's really fun. I just root for Brock Bowers to make catches.

Right. That's two. Three. Their receivers are other than maybe Miami, the worst receivers in the league. But Miami does that but anyone like Brock Bowers.

“Like Kupiak even said he had a quote last week about what's that guy's name Jack Beck?”

Yeah. Yeah. Jack Beck, are you saying it? And they asked Kupiak like, is anybody stood out so far in the receiver room? And he was like, no.

He's in peace. He's like, the answer is, no, they are not. So trade talker. Whatever talker. Yeah.

But Bowers, I just think as long as it doesn't get hurt, and that's problem with all these.

But I don't want to get a thousand yards.

And we've got like 12 games and get a thousand yards. Yeah, that's true. That's a good one. Yeah, because Kupiak and they work well together, Kupiak and cousins traditionally. So yeah.

Okay. Yeah, I'm going to write that there. What do you got? What do you got? You got a row.

I just did that. Bill's more wins in the chiefs, minus 120. Could be a lot more. But I have an 11 to 10. And again, Bill's 11 plus wins six years in a row.

That's minus minus 120. Minus 120. Okay. I had a bunch of over-the-cheap spets I wanted to do. And I got psyched out. You did?

I did.

“I just, I think the chiefs, I don't think they have the talent.”

I don't think they're going to be good in yet. I don't want to bet against them because the legal will be so invested in trying to get them to 10 wins and trying to get them to be good. And I just, I don't want to be on the other side of that. Just been burned by them over the years.

Okay. I'm almost out of things. You want to speed around five more each? I have more each. What do you want to do?

Yeah. Well, I'm running out of ones I really like, but one of them is Bears over nine and half wins plus 120. Okay. 10 and seven I win.

And I still, I'm still a fan, the regression and the harder schedule thing. I just think that team has a lot of talent and I really believe in Ben Johnson as we talked about in the over under's last week. I think he is a top five six seven coach in the league. And I find it hard to believe he's going to go to nine and eight with the weapons that they

have. I don't see it. To go one. To go one. Caleb Downs, defensive rookie of the year plus seven hundred, half to have it.

Half to have it on my ledger. Really nice. God bless us, kid. Already a great leader. Maybe the best leader we've ever had through three preseason games.

Such a home run pick. Is that the giants passed on him, right? They'd think the lineman. Yeah. Well, they got, yeah.

So they, right, they went the other way with it. Yep. Just a huge mistake. Just a show, just show a lot. Did we do a Bucca 1000 yards at plus one 50, I don't think we did?

No. Yeah. I'm taking it. I mean, he almost had this and half the season last year is going to have to do it. I have a lot of, now I know exactly what your fantasy team is going to look like Tuesday.

I'm off for value and I don't understand who else is catching a thousand yards on that team out of all the receivers they have when Mike Evans is in the team anymore. You're going to baker and all his receivers, you know what I'm going to want. That's great. I'll take it off.

I'm not going to have any Falcon. You're going to brock Bowers. Yeah. Um, how about Stafford Bowers passing yards plus 500, why not MVP, you know, get through

I know I want to get to myself with Puka under, but yeah, it sort of like three tight ends.

Totally wrong over the place. Yeah.

“Um, I'm going to do another David Montgomery bet because for some reason you left me both”

of the good ones. David Montgomery eight touchdowns, just eight minus one. That's good too. That's better. Eight.

Rushing, right? Rushing. Yeah. I think it's just touchdowns. There's it.

I thought it was touchdowns either way. I'll take it at eight minus one or two. All right. Uh, here we go. Who's going to tap out?

Oh, we do. No. We forgot to call this the Fogga to chow draft. You got that, sorry. And tap out.

Dandel Jones under 18 to half touchdown passes plus one, you get a plus number for that.

I don't think she's good for one a game under 18 and a half touchdowns.

Place 13 games. It's going to have to get like one and a half a game. I don't know. What are the odds on that? Plus one or two.

That's right there.

“So, you know, my dad has six brothers and sisters.”

Yeah. Michael Chuck, who's been, um, topic of a lot of conversation over the years, love Uncle Chuck. Great athlete, um, quirky. One of the things with Chuck eats a lot goes out to dinner over eats like combination

or Brad, but also like a golden retriever, like if you just left too much food out and can't stop eating and then it's sick. Um, stayed with my dad last month. When he stays over, he needs a chair in his bedroom that he can sit in because routinely he eats too much and he can't lie down so he has to get up and he wants to sit in a chair

so he can digest better. So when they come, when he comes, they have to make sure that's a man and chair there on it. Why? And so they went, they took him, like, even Lewis or something when he was in town.

He ate way too much and my daughter was with them to watching him just in this belief how much he was eating.

Like it was how seed style.

And then the next day he's like, yeah, I had to sleep in the chair. Uncle Chuck. Oh, my shirt is my hero. Yeah. It makes the t-shirts.

The chair starts in the bed or he starts in the chair. He starts in the bed, but it's like eventually knows he has to end up in the chair. Oh, this is bread. This is our bread, bread. Yeah.

Oh, that's a means. This is like house happening on the phone booth, that's time. Then had no phone. It's just right in the phone booth, Portland. Uncle Chuck.

Yes. Why am I out? Please. All right, last one. We're last couple.

Well, then we're going to do a Super Bowl, right? All right. I'll do one. Do I? Am I up?

You had Dean of Jones as your guy. Yeah. Okay. Man, I really did everything. I did everything I wanted to do, except for...

Oh. Come on. Uncle Chuck's waiting. It's okay. Sleepy.

Yeah. I think I'm tapping out. Really? I think I'm down in a Super Bowl pick. Oh.

Yeah. I'm tapping out. Oh, I'll do. I'll take a flyer. No, I'm out.

I'm tapping. Oh, do we do? Do we do? Do we do?

“Oh, do we do, do we do price for offensive rookie the year?”

You do. I think we do. 700 yards or something. Yeah. I'll do.

Yeah. We do price offensive rookie the year plus 650. Okay. I'm not doing either Cleveland receiver. I looked at that long and hard.

I got excited about Boston. I actually had that bet. They're going to have four different things. They're going to have four different things. Yeah.

The quarterback things. The disaster. Yeah. I'm trying to think if there's another category we miss completely. But what we're going to do?

Could always say. Yeah. We're good. What is it? Well, my personal price is the Rams over bills at plus 3,000 to 50 Rams over bills.

And if it turns out to be the Jack score, which I have it as when it will, 31, 16 pays 50,700. No, I made that up, but 31, 16 Rams beat the bills in so far this year. And what are the odds at that happens? Plus 30, 50 plus 30, 50.

So basically 30 to 1. Yep. Bill's final. We got there. And what are you going with?

Don't say the Patriots. Come on. I feel like you've picked the bills to win the Super Bowl at least four times. And when you think about it, there's no drummer picked and picking the bills when they've never won a Super Bowl.

And we told them. I did it last year. And then it's the playoffs and Josh Allen's overthrowing somebody in the end zone and the bill. And it's like, why is anyone betting on this?

Like, if it happens, it happens, but we shouldn't be something to put money on. But we can't do this.

well, they didn't do it last year either. I don't know. They've won it these years. My Super Bowl pick is Seattle over Houston. Seattle going back to back.

It's plus 53, 40.

So it's basically 54 to 1 odds.

Wow. I'd normally avoid the back to back Super Bowl champ. The lack of respect for Seattle, this whole offseason has been truly breathtaking. And if there's ever a team that can be the nobody believes in us back to back Super Bowl champ, I think we found it.

People don't believe in Sam Darnall. I even, you guys are talking about the NFC West thing. Like, he led the division in receptions last year. Are we sure he was even that good in the playoffs? Are we sure the running backs are good?

Kubeak with that. Now that he's in Vegas, or they can be able to run the ball, their defenses worse. Angela's harder, the Rams are a super team. This is just, this is that nobody believes in us like Schmorgasport. Is that they completely disrespected?

They won the title last year, even the Super Bowl, even the line for week one was disrespectful three and a half. Playing a team, they killed the Super Bowl eight months ago. It's because it's Sam Darnall. I mean, let's face it, right?

I think that's what Corps. Yeah, of course. Because you wouldn't be shocked after saying all that and I posed this to the ring of wise guys. If he had like 22 interceptions, and by the way, his interceptions went up.

“Last year, from the year before, I think he plays worse defenses this year on paper.”

But are you going to be shocked if he becomes like the Sam Darnall, the Jets, or like a little worse? I don't know. It's more of a bet for me, I'm McDonald. And the fact that he just might be 2000s bellcheck again, this team, even the games

they lost. They almost, you know, dating back to like a year and a half. And I just, I love that everybody does not believe in them. It fits my, it fits my profile. Boy, I can't even tell you you're going to root for on Wednesday.

So what was your, what was your favorite of that? That's not funny. What was your favorite of all your things?

We did like almost 80, it feels like the first one, the Jets, and that's sick, not

discussing at the Jets to come and third is my favorite after all this. I think my favorite is Houston and Seattle, both to make the playoffs plus one, 12. But that's a really like Falcon stuff, and so the first two I took, the fourth place plus 343. Yeah, your favorite has to be the NFC South, so.

Yeah. All right. That's really fun. Just so people know the plan. We give these out on Netflix, and then we jump in your 2002 Dodge and Trepid, and we drive

to the Kentucky Tennessee border, and we place these bets, and then we drive back hopefully in time for pets to see OX kick off, and we did that with Harlan Cobin, and with Harlan Cobin. The three of us, it's going to be the next movie. We do everything by the book, and you're going to wear a seat belt, everything.

I've been wearing a seat belt for the last month. I'm still not, I'm still unclear why people, this made people so upset, like if I had said I was smoking 10 cigarettes a day, would that people make people more or less upset than the seat belt? I think it's right up there.

Let's take baby doll, for instance.

“I think this is something I could see, baby doll, our agent, our crazy agent to a not”

you. By the way, you throw out there that you can't see, you're flicking Helen Keller, you're not able to see. No, I can't see her. I can't see close.

I see far. Great. Isn't a windshield close? Yeah. Wow.

That's shit that goes on. It's close. Thanks for making a worse. No, you're using it now. It's good.

Today's parent corner. I'm squinting. It's brought to you by Instagram. Instagram, Tina Counts have automatic protections on by the fault, built in content settings for the content teens can see, and I can't see.

Contact limits for who can contact them and time management tools, like daily time limits, and sleep mode. I left that. It's so dry. Teens are automatically placed in the Tina Counts and teens under 16 when they

the parent's permission to change any of these settings to be less strict. Instagram will continue adding, built in safety features to help create age-appropriate experiences. I have to do in this. I think I ran that directly.

“I think I'm going to have a five minute select.”

So hold on. We got to do it. It was instant card. I ran it wrong. It's interstellar.

I don't know. It was a Instagram. That was Instagram. I got that right. Okay.

You're up first. All right. I have two beach stories with the summer officially wound down here. Yeah. Last week, my youngest 12-year-old Harrison and I, we're going to go to the beach.

I'm like, we're running out of days here. So, he brings his surfboard. We stopped at the convenience store, get some fruit sandwiches, chips, drinks, and we walked down to the beach. I lay it all out on the blanket.

I'm like, let's eat first and then we'll go in the, in the, in the sea and it'll be great.

And he says, uh, he's like, no, no, no, I got to go, I got to go. The waves are good. They could go away. They go away. He's like, yeah, it really could get less and, you know, the, it could be shorter

All right. Fine. So now all the foods out. I'm like recording him. He's like, get it.

“Getting a couple and I'm getting some good shots and then someone sets up a blanket right”

in front of me. And so now I can't record. So I have to walk down and record him. I'm just want, I just want a minute of him and then I'll walk back some recording him. And I just happen to look back and they're a 30 F and C equals on our blanket.

And they just devoured everything, the sandwiches, the chips, and I can running up there like I'm a mad bad. They took the tub of watermelon, which is heavy for a bird. He scumbag rat birds took everything, everything, everything. And a half hour later, Harrison comes out out of the ocean.

I'm like, well, we got some bad news. I'm like, the food has got. He's like, how much? And like, all of it. Literally all of it.

Yeah, it's all of it. Yeah, it's all of it. It's like a little scrapple lettuce on the blanket, but a single will be there in a minute to get there. All right.

So that's that story. Can I, can I interrupt you, Chris? Yeah. That was my fault. Completely my fault.

My kids are in. What does Seagulls bring to the table? No, I know. It's kind of an underrated. They don't get enough scoring bird.

I feel awful. Who has a good Seagull story? Anyway, keep going. I have a good one. My father hated him so much.

He would maybe plant alcohols around the blanket. Yeah. He's a bad dude. Poof. Not good for Seagulls.

You've got to breathe the back of the, uh, probably should have said that. Anyway, it's for that life. All right. There we go. All right.

Okay. So fast forward, another beach door to a couple days ago, our friend Brad.

How would you describe for our first time, Netflix?

Actually, he's been on Netflix. He was in that hitchhiker, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that Wheelding hitchhiker. Thank you. Spend on this pod with us.

Yes. He's been, we've done, fun stuff for them. Go back and listen. He's just a crazy person. He, he fled, he joined the Navy to, um, escape, paying gambling.

That's, he doesn't have a nervous system.

“I think would be the best way to describe them.”

That's the way, the way he is day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute is like, if somebody came in right now and threw fireworks into the studios, I was doing the pod and I jumped up because I was scared. Right. That's kind of him all the time.

Exactly. And he's loud and he's boisterous and he's a very confident, right? Very confident. Go after you. A lot of opinions.

The drafts going to be fun with him, just going after. So anyway. All right. So he's come. I have custody of him for a couple days when he Kimmel's on hiatus and he comes

out and he's like, I only want to go to the beach. So you would think if you only want to go to the beach, you would bring a bathing suit. But being 53 years old and having lived here a couple decades, he doesn't own a bathing suit. So I have to lend them some bathing suit.

Yeah. Oh, no. That's it. I lend them a bathing suit, I don't expect to see it again. So he goes right for the ocean when we get there and he is getting pound.

He's getting slammed to shit by the waves and he's screaming at the waves while he's getting slammed. He's like turned it off. Turn it off. It's like a lot of it is for show, but he's also getting like throwing around and also

doesn't know how to like the drawstring is a foreign concept to him. He just puts it on.

I guess he's never had a bathing suit before and someone is getting hit by the waves.

His, his, my bathing suit is immediately coming down. So he's nude and he's screaming in the ocean and onlookers watching from the beach, the reaction range from somewhere between thoroughly amused and considering pressing charges. Right. So after, I'm not getting like 20 minutes of this, my son Jack comes up to me.

“He's like, hey, I think we should get him out.”

I'm like, all right. Let's get him out. I'm on the thoroughly amused side, but let's get him out. Well, we should mention you're awesome video tape in this. Yeah, so I'll say that video later.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I'm pretty, I said that to you and like the lifeguard walks up to him is like, hey, should you get him out? He's asking me if I should get him out.

Like this is a situation like he should probably be in there, but he doesn't want to touch Brad. And so I'm right. I was to pull him out. He's like, what do you do?

What are you doing? I pull him out. I'm like, you're nude. You're screaming. You're a menace.

I have to get, yeah. Not the fucker. I was just having fun out there. Like having fun. You're dying. Well, in the lifeguard thought he was drowning, right?

Yeah, the lifeguard's like, hey, go get him. He's drowning. That's not a lifeguard thing to do. Anyway, that's that. I mean--

I mean-- I mean-- I mean--

I mean, here's the thing.

He can't keep his normal pants on. Everyone in LA has seen his butt back for 23 years. So putting the bathing suit on him, I don't know how tight the jaw string would have to be. It's true.

Yeah. I should have tucked it to him. Yeah. Yeah, you might have heard do the thing where they painted it on.

So you can figure it out. Brad. I have two stories both about walks. Yeah.

“I went back to Boston for my daughters first two games.”

Walking to the game. And it's kind of like drizzling a little bit. We're walking through the city. And I'm walking with-- My daughters are there.

I'm walking with her boyfriend, the famous Hank. Hmm. And my son Ben. And I feel like this thing hit my head, which I thought was water. But I was like, man, that felt heavy.

Pull my head up. And it's a giant green bird shit. That's just a clump. And I throw that. So now it's on my hand.

I'm wiping on the thing. But then-- And Ben and Hank are horrified. But I'm like, no, no, this is good luck. Yeah.

This is a big Italian thing. I wrote about this in 2004 when the red socks that whole playoff run. I got shit on by a bird. And I did wash the shirt because it was good luck. And I have a whole comma bat at it.

So I'm saying, this is great luck.

There's no way-- there's always not scoring tonight.

Which we could have bet on it.

“But they don't have a lot of D3 women soccer.”

Anyway, she did score. It was a good start for the season. I get to the game and people are like, hey, Bill. And I'm like, don't shake my hand. Hold on.

I got bird. I walked like an extra 15 years. So anyway, that was one. The other one is, go to Fenway with my dad and my son and Hank. And my dad takes new breed meets us there.

And then we're going to walk back to his place after, which I would say is a 25-minute walk. We leave Fenway. They get killed by the Mariners. It was the one good game.

The Mariners have played probably in 10 days. And I want to mention just as an aside. I hate the Mariners with the passion of seven hills. Wow. We have so many of them on our fantasy team.

Katie Anderson, who they yanked around forever, finally brought up. And now he's not even doing as well as we thought. George Kirby, who-- I would rather quit fantasy baseball than have him again.

Josh Nailer, who's been pretty good this year. And Lip through-- He just didn't run out of double play. Right.

We've got the second baseman, bobbled the ball.

Throwes at the-- and somehow they still get Josh Nailer in the double play, because the whole team is quit on the manager. And then Muñoz, the best closeer Nail, who's blown nine saves a year. And every time he comes in, he throws a hundred miles an hour.

And people just hit it everywhere. I hate this team. I can't even imagine how Mariners feel. I don't know why they haven't fired Dan Wilson, except there's a theory that they want the Mariners to come.

They want the Mariners to feel happy after the year. So they're saving the Dan Wilson firing. Anyway, we lose to the fucking Mariners. And we're leaving Fenway. And my dad's like, we should take a cab.

Now it's like this huge mass of people. And we're like, now we'll walk slow. Ask this guy. There's a cab drive. There's like, how much we tell the address.

He's like, 35. Like, we're not paying 35 to go. It's a short walk. Dad, you'll be fine. We're walking.

He starts complaining halfway through. My dad's 78. He's doing the 14 months till being 80. We stopped at one intersection. He puts his hand on the meter.

And he says he has a pulled grind. He's like, I pulled my grind a few months ago. And so now we're arguing about his pulled grind on the intersection. Hey, pulled the grind out. What are you like playing pickleball?

Get to the house. He's completely wiped out. And then the next day, he's supposed to go to the museum with Ben. And and bail is because he was still worn out from the Fenway park. 25 minute walk, which we then argued about for the rest of the way.

“And he's like, you should be more supportive.”

I have a pulled grind. And I guess this is just what our relationship is going to be like with our parents for the rest of our lives. I am 1,000% on his side with this pulled the grind. 25 minute walk. 25 minute walk.

25 minute walk. First of all, the meat heads who are going to approach you. Yeah, I love what you do, man. Hey, you know what you should do. You should talk about it.

When Tatum and then Brown and then like, oh, but how do you even deal with that for 25 minutes? 35. Who the fruit cared? I thought you were going to say it was like, like, It's a nice day.

It was a nice, nice walk. That's a nice walk. That was going slow anyway. To the now you agreed that growing. 70.

Wow. I didn't want to pull the grind. So now I felt like I was like an elder abuser. Yeah. Yeah, it's then then he wouldn't go to the museum the next day.

Wow. That sucks. And then I should mention during parent corner. We have a new strategy with my mom. Yeah, because you'll know this because the Italian side.

They want to be invited, but they never want to come.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. So we now call my mom every time we're doing anything. Because she'll turn it down. But then she feels like we thought about her and we asked her.

They want to go this labor day party tonight. Starts at six o'clock. There's no way she's going. But now she feels, you know, she feels like, oh, they thought of me. They were nice stuff to invite me.

And you see how wind points invited them to do something

I know you identify them.

Right. That's good, of course. Are you making our walk? Is that why she's ever going? My mom walks every day.

“My mom was outraged that my dad wouldn't.”

He was like, this is why we got divorced. That's why. That's why. So that's going to be mad at me. I don't know.

I love it. Like 20 short slow 25 minute walk. Yeah. That's 78. Yeah.

I mean, you power walked through the 16 chapel. I mean, it's just a foreign concept. Well, when we went to the Reds X game, I didn't see him on the injured report. Like, shouldn't they put questionable question? What pulled great?

You took your Mariners frustration out on a 78 year old man. Very sad. One other thing on Fenway Park. They have the Fenway Frank, which is delicious. But they also have the jumbo Fenway Frank.

It's like a fatter better one.

I think it's the best hot dog of.

Really? It's really delicious. And they have the spicy brown mustard too. I just. Oh, they do have it.

Okay. So I think they're like one of four parks that have the spicy brown. They must have been a lawsuit there somewhere. Yeah. Because it doesn't.

Dodger Stadium does not. Yeah. They only have like the gross yellow. The yellow for seven year old kids. Yellow mustard.

No. Can we make this a passion thing for us for the rest of the year. It's for more spicy brown mustard.

“And it's like that's what goes for the hot dog.”

Of course. The only thing I could think is there was a lawsuit. Someone burnt their tongue or some idiot complaining that that was that. Oh, like it was too spicy. Yeah.

So just make a nice spicy yellow. Yeah. I just forgot how good that jumbo dog is. Mm. This is great.

Had a great time. Anyway, that is a. That's parent corner for us. It was brought to my Instagram. Instagram teen accounts come with automatic protections.

That limit who can contact teens. The content they can see in the time they spend on the app. Learn more about teen accounts and Instagram's ongoing work. To protect teens online at instagram.com/teenaccounts. I pulled it off.

Comes with automatic erections. Protection. Damn it. I can't read. I screwed up again.

Oh, man. All right. That's it. We did it. Let me say what thing.

I won't get us a trouble. But with the hack thing. And I just. I'm not going to get us a trouble here. So you went to length you went through to get rid of your daughter's boyfriend.

It was. It that it was Tony's. I don't ask. I can't believe it. And it knows.

I feel the opposite. I love Hank. I didn't want to put Hank in jeopardy. He fell for it. Hook line and see.

I think it was a Tony's soprano. Really was. I mean, he's got to work release. He has to get out for three hours to go to Red Sox. Can't with you.

It's very sad. Listen. It was a very funny bit. And the podcast last week. And probably probably colored my opinion on whether it should stay.

Because we're always going to go for the comedy first.

Right. This week, you're going to get in trouble. Because your dad was feeding up a son of a single. It's just how it's going to go. You fed your dad to the seagulls.

They're going to walk. They're going to walk. They did. His tongue is mystery pulled. Great.

People already mad at me. They say I instigated that whole story. Hank story. And I feel like I. I feel like I'm the guy.

I run interference on some of your controversial. Yeah.

“I remember when you at the time you wanted to come out and brag about tossing your jury summons”

in the trash. And I'm like, Oh, don't do it. You're going to get in trouble. And you know, like, yeah, we made that up. You made that up.

That's it for Harlan Coben's guest to lunch. You're 20. Check that out. Thanks. Eduardo and Chris and Gahau and Jack and everybody at Spotify.

Jack Wilson, just a complete maniac runs production for us. And just went in on went in today. Just wanted to make sure everything goes right. He did. Where do you go?

And you went into work to help produce us. Oh. Neither of us are there. And then with thanks everybody who vote on the polls. Thanks to everybody who sent a mail back.

So when we come back on Sunday, it will be after Cowboys, Giants. It will either be both of us happy because we have Cowboys, but it's for a press following sound. Me screaming at you.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Don't screw me. Give me one week.
