What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Anything Better podcast for NFL week number 12. Dude, it's over every time it starts. I don't even know what's going on, but I'm your host, Paul. That's your host. I say that I love out a lot of things. Yeah, hey, we are here. I'm in New York, Bill's over there. We got Jake the Snake on the injury report coming in soon, and of course, we can't forget

the Greek freak Andrew Thelmeless. Before the show started, we were talking about head cases. Let me ask you this question to start the show, Bill. Name a head case, because you know I love him. You know I love him. I got the Randy Moss is one of my favorite, the Alan Iverson. I don't think Randy Moss was a head case. No, he had his moments, but name a head.

I don't think he was. I think he was misunderstood. Yeah. I wouldn't call him a head case. He's one of my all-time favorites. All right. But name a head case that won. in any sport

well baseball doesn't count because there's so many of them maybe football too but name like a a football player or a basketball player headcase that won because it's rare it's rare oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no especially

especially not not in basketball not in basketball there's been plenty of fucking I got to send this to this guy he's asked me about this fucking coffee shop. It's a very important thing to me, Paul, sorry. There are so many fucking headcases that have won fucking NBA championship.

Ron Ortest, the first one I think is Ron Artest, Meadow World Peace. He won one, right? He won a couple of them. Yeah, but him, I feel like he was like, is he a head case or is he on his own fucking, he's in his own matrix? Because I love that guy,

and at the end of the day, he delivered and he didn't take away from the team. A head case to me, I'm going to speak in code here. It goes, you've got to choose between this guy and that guy. You got to get this coach out of here. I need more free agent help. Like, okay, now I just described like five people off the top of your head and the fucking NBA who have rings that that's how they operate.

All right. I think we have different definitions of head case. I'm thinking of like the- You say to the coach, you got to get these guys the fuck out of my way. Yeah, I guess that's a headcase, too. I guess there's two of them. I'm talking about the trouble guy off the field. I'm talking about...

Oh, off the field. I'm talking about the guys that were like... You're talking about sending a dick pick and taking public funds to finance the volleyball. You're talking about like that. I thought you meant in the locker room, Paul. I'm sorry. No, I'm talking about two different things.

Paul, you're fading away again. You're blurring out on me. I don't know. That fucking camera, dude, I swear to... What do you want for Chris? Christmas, a new fucking anything better camera. Right when he said I look crisp, too. Yeah, I'm talking about the guy that like, dude, why is he at a nightclub the night before?

Because he's good. I'm talking about the good player that does dumb shit. Have any of them won? What about the guy who had the Glock in his sweatpants and somehow pulled the trigger and shot himself in the leg? Guy, I have a name names. Didn't he win one with you guys? No, that's common. Now, he talks about it all the time.

That's Plaxico Burr's. But he did that, I guess, after they won. But yeah, you know what? That's a great call because that's why Pittsburgh got rid of him. Pittsburgh got rid of him because they said he was a head case. Listen, but is that a head case or is it just someone who didn't take a gun safety course? I don't want to do that to Placisco. I love that guy.

I love, dude, Placiscoe was huge for us and he really helped Eli, too. 100%. Yeah, dude, so did your defensive line. It's kind of funny all these years later, Eli gets the credit for beating. Belichick and the Patriots. It's like, I kind of think it was their defensive front four was taking Tom off his spot. He wasn't

at least in 07, dude. I thought that whole, your whole front floor, man, were just they would, you were in his kitchen the whole fucking day. It's funny you said that because OCU Minora said that he looked at tape and he saw a tick that Brady had and he like talked to the defensive team

and that was the time Brady got sacked five times, which he never did before. Listen, it definitely was the defensive line why we won. Eli didn't make mistakes. Your defensive line was like super-sized linebackers. They weren't fat guys trying to bull rush. These guys were fucking Adonisers, and they manhandled our fucking offensive line. Yep, yep.

All right. Well, before we start, we got a shout out our sponsors. It's the BetMGM app. Best Lines out there, guys, you know what to do.

Paul, you got that down, dude. You were like an auctioneer speed on that one. Oh, dude, you know what I mean?

This is what I do. I'm back. Paul is back. Tell the people what you did last week, Paul. Tell them what you did. I went, listen, I went three and one, and I'm still in double-digit losses, so I didn't do much.

I need more. And once again, once again, I get burned by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But time out. Time out. I want to give a shout out the fact that you didn't fucking do this after one week of winning.

Like you see like, I love when people do, they shush a crowd and they're down by 14 because they just fucking, they scored a touchdown. It's like, dude, you're losing. Dude. The Patriots played the Falcons and their wide receiver. What the fuck's his name? He's fantastic. Drake London. Oh, that kid could play.

Yeah. No, do you get like three touchdowns? Every time he did this and every time they were losing and then they lost the game, it's like, it's, it's. like we're winning. I'm allowed to cheer, man. I don't have anything all week. This is the one thing I got. Don't take it away from me. The celebration should be when the game is clearly over and determined by that play. Period. Period. Period. Walk off home run. All bets are off. I mean, walk off home run. All of that shit, dude. All of that shit is just, it's so normal now. But I remember when people started doing it, it was always like, yeah, it's just,

like self-congratulatory shit Paul can you imagine killing on stage and you get an applause break and you just go like this dude but I will say this a walk off home no no better up bombing for fucking 10 minutes and then finally getting a fucking laugh and then shushing shushing

shushing your hecklers dude I got to say though a walk off Walk-off home run in the World Series. For me, you do anything. Hey, my pants would be off by the time I got the home play. A walk-off home run to win a World Series, the guy could do, Joe Carter, the Toronto Blue Day.

The way Joe Carter did it was great. Yeah, jumping up and down like a little kid. But that thing flipping the bat and then saying every curse word as you look down at the dugger. Fucking that's your fucking fucking motherfucker. It's the stupidest shit. Even if you're a good baseball player, seven times out of ten you're going back to the dugout failing.

At that point, he'd be, you fucking suck, you fucking motherfucker. Why don't you do that? That's the only thing about Kevin Garnett that drove me nuts. Kevin Garnett would hit like a mid-range and just be back it up and go, it's like, all right, dude. It's like, come on. I love Kevin, but he did do that. And it got worse towards the end of his career.

I think he knew. I think he knew he had lost his steps. And now he was just trying to. He was trying to make up for that half a step you lose as you get older by, like, fucking, you know, with the attitude. Oh, that's great. Well, listen. He didn't get a fucking lay up. What the fuck was that shit?

It's like, hey, man, you know, it's fucking seven or four, first quarter. All right. We got week 12 here. Okay, we got week 12 here. It's an even number, which means I believe it's my first pick this week. Well, Paul, what the first thing I noticed is it's week 12 and most of the spreads are greater than 12. Jake, oh my God, it's just the person I want to talk to. Jake, why am I looking at 10.5, 13 and a half, 13 and a half? Even like, there's a bunch of six and a half big spreads this week. Are people hurt? Yes, probably, depending on which game we're looking at. The Browns Raiders game is the one I'll bring up first because Shador Sanders is going to make his debut. And I'm very excited because we both went to Boulder. So I'm excited to see him out there, get his first start. um the bangles you guys both had a big rivalry when you were there

absolutely i already was a little intimidated by your swagger man i don't want to start anything but it's nice that you guys are friends again yeah exactly yeah diana's you know had to intervene but but yeah no uh very sorry i just came out there um and then i don't know if you i sent the video to you guys but um jimar chase and jalen ramsi got into a fight um on the field um on the field and then the NFL looked into it and realized Jamar Chase spat on Jalen Ramsey so he suspended for the Patriots game

but there was an odd choice to spit on somebody that has never that has never entered my head to ever do I had a friend to spit on me and after he sped on me we just both started swinging it was not it's the most basically it's over

it's the most disrespectful it's nuts you would think like lamas and camels will get in the more fistfights the way that they, the amount of people they spit on. You ever see that shit? You come up to me I mean, even if you got to hit the fucking thing. You got to start, you have to start swinging. Dude, a camel

screaming is one of the most terrifying. The camel, you see that video where the camera goes, eh, it's horrifying. Yeah, I remember I can't do the obvious joke with that. Okay.

I was just saying, I remember Shane Sharp was saying, like, you spit on the ground, but not a person. So you're saying the person's, like, worse, you know, worth less than the ground. So I don't know. That always stuck with me. Fitting on the ground. I mean, that's sort of a classic. That's almost, that, that lives in the world of slapping someone with a white glove. You spit on somebody?

Italians and Greeks would do this thing where they would go, you know, remember even Karen said it in Goodfellas. because she would spit on a floor. I never understand. It's almost like a fuck you, you know, but like, you know. Oh, in her own floor, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. Hey, Paul, what do you think? What do you think when someone's in a conversation with you and they accidentally spit on you and they try to play it off like they didn't?

You should be able to slap them, right? No. Accident is different than I'm intentionally spending on you. So wait, is chase out? No, but you know, they see it. Then they see you fucking go like this and they still don't do anything. I mean, you get him one of those. give him one of those oh dude when somebody does that and you just go i don't like when somebody

gets it on my hand and then i don't know if i like the person i don't tell them i just kind of secretly wipe it if i like him if i don't like him i go whoa dude those are a comedian i work with a long time ago so you ever talk to somebody i don't know if he still does the bit though the guy doesn't write enough so maybe i don't want to do it i saw the bit 30 years ago hey paul some people right you know hey um so yeah jaces yeah he's suspended for the game um so he won't play but there was a report yesterday saying joe burrow practiced fully so it's possible that he returns this week instead of for thanksgiving um that's what i wonder why the patriots bengals was six and a half i'm like joe burrow's coming back we're in cincinnati and that's six and a half okay

yeah so it's it's 50 50 now you know we'll know more later in the week but um that's the news right now Who do the Bengals have? Tyrod Taylor? No, that's back in. The guy, Blacko, Flacco, is still out there. Oh, Flacco. Yeah, yeah. Tyraud Taylor's one of the best names in the NFL. Yeah, he's actually starting this week for the Jets.

They bench Justin Field, so it's funny you brought that up. That poor bastard can't get a break. Yeah, and then the Texans aren't going to start C.J. Stroud tonight against the bills. It's going to be another Davis Mills start for them. Oh, okay. That changes things. And what about Aaron Rogers?

Is Aaron Rogers not playing for the Steelers, broken wrist? Yeah, he's probably not playing, but they're saying he's trying to play. I can't imagine he's going to play on a fractured wrist, though. I mean, throwing hand or the other hand? It's the other hand.

So, you know, that's kind of like what they're saying. They're like, oh, he's trying to play through it with whatever. Well, they don't really hit quarterbacks anymore. No, but he's not hard. He can play quarterback with a fucking sling at this point. have you handy. Yeah,

I see it to catch it like this, the snap. Scambling for a first down. Is Daniel

Jones playing? For the Colts? Yes, he is. And then the Packers

have an injury too. They're running back Josh Jacobs might not play. So that's a pretty big one. He's a really

great player for them. And Jackson Dart is back. Jackson Dart is back for the Giants against the Lions. That's what it sounds like, yeah, he's back practicing at least, you know, concussions are tricky, you know,

and they're a lot more stripped now. Thankfully, they're a lot more stripped now about those. Is it true, the lines aren't dressing their puncher this week? I don't know. You guys hear, oh, you guys hear about this one's being headcases. The Cowboys, they bench their two receivers for the first drive at that Raider game.

I guess they were out in Vegas partying is like what came out later. They said they saw one of them throwing up in a casino. I think it was Lamb, actually. even though you would expect it to be Pickens. But, yeah. I don't know. I thought that was an interesting story.

I mean, what do they think? It's like such a crazy, like, I remember when I was a kid, they said Las Vegas would never have a sports team because they don't want to have people around that. And now look at us. We're doing a sports gambling podcast. And now they have a football team, a hockey team. They're getting a baseball team. And they're going to get a basketball team, too.

Oh, my God. The NBA is going to do that. Jesus. That's the easiest game to fucking fix. Whoa. Yeah. Paul, this is the end of times. Dude, I'll tell you what.

This is Jesus right now waiting to come back. When fucking the Vegas, whoever has their first fucking game. Now that, yeah, okay, all right. You know, in tag team wrestling when the guy's getting beaten, the other one's going like this? So, dude, if I'm... I'm wearing a row. Dude, this lovely lady asks me if I want to go to a hot tub,

but I'm going to say, no, she's a fan. I'm going to, it's a hot tub. I mean, I was, I was doing. Doing it for the franchise. Doing it for the fans. We have a hot tub in the facility for our muscles. What am I going to do? Did we not talk about being a little more friendly with the fans to help the NFL product?

That's right. Fans are the most important part of it. I didn't have to bring those three women back to show them my fucking rings. They wanted to see them. We watched four episodes of the office. That's what we were doing in there. Oh, God. That'd be hilarious.

All right, well. I'm offended. I'm offended that you think I would do something like that. Come on. I'm a man of God. What are we doing? I'm a man of God. I was trying to get her on the straight and narrow.

Oh. Yeah, exactly. Jesus says, that's why I have all these chains, the cross chains. Oh, dude. And the way she was committed to her job, I got something out of that. I got something out of that for Sunday. Dude, she was dedicated, prepared. What do you want me to do?

Hey, they all bought in. They brought into the system. They weren't overt. The casino looks the other way. We are in a recession right now, and I'm a big believer in spreading your money around if you have it. Dude, the sushi restaurant just put in a fountain. The guy, the owner asked me to come by.

going to do? Ask my wife, I love a fountain. I love a fountain. I was so upset we weren't staying at the Monte Carlo. I could watch that music with those fouls and a couple of hookers all night long. All right. Well, Jake the Snake, you just changed me with the, I was going to take the Texans tonight, but you know what? I do not like no C.J. Stroud. So I'm going to end that line just changed, which means there's a lot of movement there. So I'm going to do something here. I didn't think I was going to do and this is a team I didn't think I was going to ever

take, but you know what? The Chicago Bears, the Chicago Bears keep proven to me every week, every week that they win. The Chicago Bears are what, 7 and 3? 7 and 3. First of the NFC. Chicago Bears keep showing up in the end of the game to get it done.

it's less than three. They are at home, and Aaron Rogers has a broken wrist. I think it's irresponsible of the Pittsburgh Steelers to put him in that game, even though it's his opposite hand, which means the second guy's coming in, and I love the home team minus two and a half. So I am taking the Chicago Bears. Andrew, what's my record? How the fuck was I 19 and 19? I lost three games, and now I have 23 losses. So you were, yeah, you were 16 and 19. we thought you were 19 and 19. Oh, this is the final total right here. Dude, there's no fucking way to beat these cunts.

So, Paul, I don't give a fuck how many good weeks you have in a row. Every time you get your nose above the fucking water, these cunts come back. Bill, how do we have to be? Bill and I are all tied. Oh, Andrew, too. Yeah, Jake, you, me, and Bill are all tied. You guys are only three and a half games back. I am.

19, 23, and two. That's pretty funny. Because Jake was up. Yeah, I went to a four and a half back. Paul. And there's this week 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Paul, you could do this. I have it. Andrew. You got to go three and one. The rest of the, do you do this, Paul? This is what you do. Paul, this is what the fuck you do. I thought I thought I was 13 and a half back. This says 14 and a half back. But you know what? I'll go back and look too. But I think it's off by a game. Do you know what I do, Paul? I slowly fade away during the holidays. We'll see.

No, I don't say that. You got this, Bill. No, no, I got busy. I had acting work. I didn't even watch any fucking games. I can't pick any. Nobody likes me. All right, sorry, I'm catastrophized.

Where that goes? But, yeah, O' and four last week, I got to bounce back, too. Yeah, but, you know, when you're a playboy and you don't get in until five in the morning, you miss those early games. Forget about the one. Dude, what did Spain do that they deserved that fucking game last week? Jesus Christ. Can we send them a good product? Are they trying to go global? They are. They are.

That was the last international game of the year, thankfully, for us. Paul, it's getting late in the season. It's getting late early, as the great late Yogi Beres says. It's getting late early. Getting late early. I'm going to take the Eagles minus three going into the Cowboys. I don't know. They just haven't fucking...

They're going to shake off the Super Bowl win? Paul, are they finally going to do that? Is everybody healthy? Like, when are they going to start being what they could be? Yeah. Why not this week? Yeah, and it's only a three-point spread. I'm only laying three points.

And all those other fucking games scare the shit out of me. 10-5, 13-5, 13-5. 13-5 is nuts. I had that last week. I had 13. I had 13 points and I pushed. I know. With the Patriots in.

Well, I think what's it called? I think that with the Eagles going to A.J. Brown now and Sequin is starting to really get back to kind of business. I like that pick, especially at three. Speaking of three, I am giving Trevor Lawrence one. I'm giving Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars one more. shot at the plate. I'm letting them get in the batters box one more time. Okay. They are playing the Cardinals who just got smoked. I know my homecoming theory with the line, but I got to see the Jacksonville Jaguars one more time to see. I think they're the better team with the better

quarterback. I'm going to take Jacksonville to win by three in Arizona. The line was two and a half right before we did a half hour ago. The line was two and a half, which pisses me off. I'm going to take them to win by a field goal. You know, Paul, I got to tell you, I am terrified of the NFC South, and you have you fucking put on your bathing suit, and you've grabbed your nose, and you've just jumped, the Buccaneers, the Jaguar. You didn't want you, you've gone right in.

I don't know what it is about the NFC South. The games never come on. I don't even know what's going. If they got rid of those four teams, it would take me about five weeks to realize it even happened. I commend your courage. All right. Speaking of courage, I don't know why.

I just think Joe Burroughs are really experienced quarterback. I think six and a half points is a lot of points to get at home. The Patriots are winning. They're not necessarily, you know, dominating mid-range teams. You know, I know we beat the Jets by 13, but like I just like that half. If it was six, I would have stayed away. Six and a half at home. I think the Patriots win.

I don't think they win by a touchdown. I'm taking smoking Joe Burrow, a tale of two Joe's this year out there in Cincinnati. I'm taking the Bengals. And Paul, you know what? If they win next week when Joe Burrow comes back, they might be my AFC Jaguars. Okay. I like it. I like it.

I like the pick. I'm going to do something wild here. I'm going to take a dog. I'm going to take a dog, and I'm going to take the Carolina Panthers on Monday night football on the road, getting seven. I just think that they, I think they're coming, they're coming off of a, are they coming off of a buy or not yet? No, they won, they beat Atlanta. No, it wasn't Atlanta? Well, they won last week.

I think it was Atlanta. They, they're kind of turned a corner. The Panthers have turned a corner. And I know, I know Brock Purdy's back, but I think seven points is a lot. I could see a little backdoor touchdown there at the end to get closed. Keep it clean, huh? Hey. I'm going to take the Panthers getting seven on the road on Monday night football.

Bryce, he's under the lights, right? He's under the lights. Primetime game. You know, to your point, Paul, the fanglers are six and five. So if they win this game, they have a chance. They could potentially win the division because they're only a half game back with Tampa. Jake, would you say this is a statement game? The statement game for both teams, yeah, because Niners are seven-four.

So, I mean, we'll see. I just picture a topless woman walking past, Jake, going like this to his head rough. and just keep going right now. How you doing? Nothing would surprise. You kisses them on the cheeks. Hey, thanks for last night.

I know that was just sex, but it was worth it. See you next time in town. I'll see you the next time in the town, honey. Go ahead, Bill. It's up. You're up. Oh, Jesus Christ.

I'm going to take the Vikings. getting six and a half going into Green Bay. I like six and a half in a division rivalry. They live right next to each other. They're not afraid to be outside in the cold, even though they play indoors in Minnesota, Paul. Right. It's going to happen.

They got Sam Darnold. Sam, gosh, Darnold. Sam, dude, that's a... No, they don't. Who are you talking about? They have J.J. McCartney. Yeah. That was last one.

Wait. J.J. McCartee. he was a coach. No, you're thinking of a quarterback. Dude, I'm so out of the look. You know what, whatever. I like the color purple. You think that's why Prince

picked purple. He was from Minnesota, too. Was that his way of saying he was a Vikings fan? I think the Vikings, like Prince, are going to go crazy like it's 1999. Lambofeelia go. There's some catchphrases for you. I'll take the Vikings, not knowing who their

quarterback is. All right. Well, I don't like the half a point, I've been bitten on the half a point. We've all been bitten by the half a point. But I'm going to do something because I truly believe right now that the Kansas City Chiefs,

I really believe this is it. They're five and five. They keep losing games. The look on Mahomes' face after the last loss was the first time I saw now they're going, hey, is he going to go to the Jets if they don't win and is he going to fucking rebuild that?

You start hearing things like that. I'm like, it's way too early for that. I don't don't like the half a point, but the chiefs are coming off of a bad loss at home. Minus, they're going against Daniel Jones and the Colts. But I'm going to take the chiefs to have a bounce back, as Bill says, a statement game to save their season now. Because I think that if this is the time. So there you go. I agree with all that.

That half a point is scary. I swear to God, if it's 22, 19. Dude, I know this guy, he's in his 80s. It's been playing, you know, been in Vegas for a long time. And I can't say it on the air, but what he said about the half a point. It's a fucking great joke. It's wild. But, like, I can't do it on the internet.

Next time, we hang. Yeah. I'll let you know. And if you're a fan of my shit and you come out to go see me and there's an opportunity, I will tell you the joke. It is a joke, but it is not a joke that you can do on a sports podcast. You know, with somebody as wholesome as bad. MGM. You know, they're just, you know, I know they're involved in sports gambling, but I feel their heart is in the right place. Absolutely. Like if Julia Roberts playing a hooker was running a

sports gambling site, I feel like it would be bet MGM. I'm expecting a card from them for complimenting them like that. How was the Whiskey a Go-Go show, by the way? Oh, I had a great time. You know, they're trying to say that was the first stand-up show there ever. I can't believe that that would be true. The amount of comedians and a musician, Sam Kinnison, Steve Martin, Woodrow, Allen. I mean, somebody must have gone down. He took out his, he probably electrified his clarinet, came down there, open to the runaways. All right, that was just for me. Okay.

Oh, Billy Punch drunk this week. Paul, my God, Jesus Christ, I should have brought my glasses to look at all these fucking spreads. I got nothing, Paul. Paul, I don't have anything. I would literally throw a dart at this right now. For some reason, like an asshole, Paul, I'm gravitating towards that Raiders Browns game. Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah. Shador Sanders, first start. I believe. You got Pete Carroll. Why does it have to be four? Why can't it be three? The holidays. I can't, you know,

can't you just have a holiday line? Just one game. Dude, God, I see a degenerate. What spot you'll win? I see a degenerate talking to his bookie before, like, legalize. And he's like, come on, come on. Dude, it's, come on, Joey, it's, it's Christmas. Can you just give me a half a point?

Come on. How long we've been working together, Joey? Give me half a point. I'll give me the fucking, you can make the Vig a little more. Take a little more juice on the back end. Just give me the three. Joey, look at your car. We both know I'm making the payments.

Me? Joey, I know your mother. I know your mother. Come on, Joey. Give me four. And then he does, and he goes, and he goes, hey, you know, I took a shot. I tried.

I tried. My mother always told me. It never hurts to ask. Hey, Bill, Bill. Oh, yeah. Come on, you see. Oh, he turned it. That is the darkest video on the Internet.

When he's standing on, this is so stupid. This is so stupid. I have to know what he had riding on that game. Oh, my God. I'm so happy his horse won, but I'm also sad for him because I know he's going to come back the next day and do it again because he won. Talk about this classic clip of this guy watching the ponies. All right, fuck it. Just to keep the show going, I'm going to take the Raiders minus four.

Sneaky Pete, I think he stays in that night, doesn't go down to the Vegas strip like fucking some of those guys on the Cowboys. I think he focuses on it. He's got an ego. I think he's going to be extra chewing that gum this week. He's putting on a crisper pair of cackies this week. New balance. Fuck that. I'm taking the Browns plus four.

Fuck that. I'm not going with it. I'm not doing it. Oh. No, no, no. I want to root. I want to root for that kid. Fuck it.

I do, too. I'm hanging up there. Why would you root against him because he's Dion's son? I get the whole Rolex and the Rolls Royce around. school. I get that, and I get that, you know, but dude, you don't root against a kid. Oh, the guy likes to dress nice. And here's the deal. He likes to

have a nice car. He likes the women that like that stuff. Who is he hurting? The egos of fat sports writers. Yeah. Wearing Hawaiian shirts. Never, never came close to top shelf pussy. That's why they don't

like them. Hey, Bill, let me answer your question. If me, your friend who you've known, Verzzi for a long time. If I was able to drive a Rolls-Royce and have a fucking Rolex on college campus, would I do it? Oh, 100%. I'd be walking around a bowl. You would pull up shirtless

wearing a fur. Especially at Boulder. You'd still be a great guy. I would be a great guy. You would still be a nice guy. I'm like, my dad's a coach. What do I'm going to to still have a drink? Hey, I'll introduce you to the boosters. I don't know what to tell you.

Am I supposed to say no? to this? I'd go up to the fat fuck writer who talks shit. I go to come to my come to my dorm. I'm having a little party. Some people I want to introduce you to. Next write-up be incredible. You know, I had this guy wrong. This guy's a nice guy. Now he would burn you. He'd burn you.

He would take all the fucking accoutrements in your fucking party and then he would write a fucking hit piece. I'm like, I got you blown. You fat fuck. Nobody, I did that. I talked to her. All right. Sorry, this is a clean show. I spread the

all around the field. How am I the bad guy? You got the balls to write that about me? When I had you, I hooked you up with her. You fat fuck. You're going to show up in a Camry and you get your dick sucked by that. And this is the article I get. Oh, God, it's great.

Fucking Band-Aid-Colid fucking Camry. Oh, that's so funny. I let you take that. the Rolls-Royce around campus. I let you ride the rolls around campus. We're good together. All right. There you guys go.

Those are our picks for week number 12. And right now, it is time for Bill to sing. We are on a little cold street, guys, with the Monday night special. We've hit a drought. We've had a little lake effect snow on our Monday night picks. Let's be honest.

We came out of the gate. We came out of the gate. Hey, we're in the corner. We were flipping the bat. We were yelling people in the dugout. We were pointing, shushing. Oh, yeah, the whole thing. Uh, we got to get one here. We got to get one here. So let it rid of the dirty bird. It is time for the Monday night. Okay, I'll do it. All right, everybody. Okay, it's time to let the Monday night special win some money for you. Let the Monday not Spatio, win some fucking money for you. Come on, Paul. What do we got this week?

We've got the Panthers and the 49ers. What's say you? We've got the Panthers, 49ers. It is a touchdown spread, seven points. Hey, Andrew, can we get the underover on this game? I'm going to say 46, my guess. It seems... I would say 44.

Andrew, you there? So specific. I feel like one of those guys would be right. Yeah, you don't have to be nice. Tell us what it is. I know you know it. I don't know. No, it's 49 and a half.

49 and a half? 49 and a half. They expect the high scoring game. All right. What? High scoring game, Paul, you know. I mean, one team's not going to score 49 points, Paul. I pick the Panthers, but I like the, I like San Fran and the money line.

Okay. Let's go by the hedge. I like, I like San Fron and the money line. money line. I just think the seven points is a lot. So, um, you can take, uh, well, we know a guy, we know a guy that said, I'm a lot. I'm a lot. You shouldn't be. Probably me. Um, I mean, you can take McCaffrey. Jake, you compared to this guy, it's not even, I couldn't even do a comparison. That's how opposite it is. Oh, wow.

It's probably the most contrast opposite thing I've ever seen. I couldn't even give you an example. You're a nice, humble guy who's really good at what he does. I appreciate that. You never forgot where you came from. No. Guy takes it. He's got all this money.

He won't even buy a picture to fucking put it on his wall. That's how fucking humble this guy is. The first time Paul and I really hung out together, this person was around and Paul goes I really liked how you push back I was like we're gonna get along

just fine Paul oh he figured I'm he's a fucking baby he's like literally 10 seconds so Paul goes oh you're Greek and Italian I go yeah I'm half Greek

half Italian you don't meet a half Greek half Italian everywhere literally six seconds has been spent on this topic and yeah yeah we get it we get it and Paul look at each other

like no no we just we just finished the sentence. We didn't even get into it. The only person I knew who didn't have a weak bladder but still needed adult diapers. I didn't know where you're going. That's hilarious. I think the 49ers at home any line, right? I mean, unless you guys want to go the other way to take the Panthers with the points, whatever you want. No, I like the money line because I don't want to be rooting against your bet. So I like the money.

money line. I think the 49ers eke this out. Paul, I kind of like the way you're looking at this game, Paul. McCaffrey to get a touchdown is probably I think you know what it is? I think this is going to be a game where the Panthers score and they need one score and have to do an onside kick and don't get it. One of those deals, but I do like the Niners with the money line. So we can do it. And I

like the Panthers with the points. However you want to fucking do it, Paul. I just got to the Panthers are a tough fucking team. The Panthers are six and five getting seven. You want to take them? I think you're on to something, Paul. Yeah, the Panthers, you know? They want to walk around, Paul.

Hey, they need a little walking around money. All right. All right, fuck it. Let's just fucking put up balls on the table the week before Thanksgiving. We're going to roll with the cats. We're going to go on a fucking cat's right. All right. So we got, all right, so that's the first leg of our bet is we are going to take the Carolina

Panthers on Monday night football, getting seven. What's phase two? throw us a bone here, Jake. A couple of people you can take to get a touchdown. I mean, McCaffrey is definitely the most popular choice even though he's on the Niners. And then Bryce Young

and the Panthers running back, Rico Doddle is very good too. So those are kind of the three that I would look at. There's a question I have, Paul. Do you think it hurts us like every fucking week, we like, we pick a team and then we start betting all the offensive shit the other team's going to do. I mean, you know, let's go Bryce Young

to throw one of the Panthers. Let's do that. Yeah, I like that a lot. And then I think we, you guys want to go, you want to do, we haven't done this in a while. You want to go under the 49 points or you want to go over or you don't want to touch it. I have no feeling on that. Yeah. I have a strong feeling that the Panthers could win this game, definitely cover. I like all of that stuff.

That over under shit is, is, it's, it's poison. Yeah. I don't like, I would stay away from that. Um, Jake, what's the, by the way, I want to let the people know, Bill. We've never done that. So you people that don't know, Jake the Snake gives us a report every week. This isn't just,

he's not just here to show off his good looks, okay, and, you know, take the time off of his fucking crazy date. No, he does the work, he puts the work, and he gives us an amazing report.

He breaks everything down. It's all written out. It's a, he sends a document. Dude, I didn't write that much, hey, I didn't write that much in all the high school,

all right? So Jake, are the Panthers got a good defense or no? it's a good question it's been like kind of up and down you know like I think the Niners will be able to move the ball on them that that would be my prediction but they're much improved from last year

that they can get they can get stops but like yeah it's tough to say probably middle of the road would be fair characterization there for sure Andrew are we able to do anything fun are we able to do like a is Bet MGM going to let us do like a force

Always, Paul. Have fun. What do you want? Can we do a kicker to kick over a 50-yarder? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those are, I mean, the odds are probably available. Why not? Let's have fun. We're taking the fucking Panthers. All right. Let's do that. And it doesn't matter what kicker. So here's what we want to do. Either kicker. Either kicker kicks a 50 or more. So 5-0 counts or more. And then we'll take the Panthers with the points and we'll take Bryce Young of the Panthers to throw one.

I think that's a fun one. I think Paul Verzzi has found his fucking, he's got it back. If I win this week, I'm going to come in here a little, little more arrogant. I'm not going to say you're going to wear a button down, but you're not necessarily going to button all the buttons. I'm going to here. You're going to show a little chest. This is why you know how Paul has been doing is.

How much chest air is showing? Or how many chains are. I think I won the next three weeks. I was just shirtless. Jake goes, how many chains are out? Paul, I am not seeing your fucking, your gold, man. I haven't seen that this season.

I know. You know what? I went three and one last week. Let's take it out. That was a nice one. You're like the athlete at the end of his career has one more good game. And for a brief moment, you saw flashes of his youth.

To end the fantastic career. All right, Paul. There you have it, guys. We got our picks. We got our Monday night special is the Carolina Panthers getting seven. Bryce Young to throw a touchdown and any of the NFL, any of the kickers in the game kicking a 50 or longer field goal will be the Monday night special. So you guys can root for a field goal, which will be great. And there you go.

Download the app to your device. Put as little as $10 in for your first bet. If the bet doesn't hit, you'll get $1,500 in bonus bets. And you could do the touchdown promo, which is you pick any NFL player in any game to get the first. touchdown and you win if they don't but get the second touchdown you get your cash back there you go good luck this week well i'm gonna tell you real quickly betting either field bow kicker to kick over a 50 yarder is like one of the most exciting bets of the year for me i'm like i'm gonna watch this game this is just such a funny level to watch the game on well when we were when we were

younger i almost said when we were kids but when we were younger a 46 yarder you'd be like oh dude this isn't now it's like dude it was no shame in missing a 48-yarder unless they did it on the bills for the Super Bowl. None. Yep. Now they're like, dude, it's 54. As long this year is 59. You're like, what? Oh, yeah. I remember Adam Vinatieri kicked a 57-yarder. My buddy called me up. Yeah. North of 55, north of 55

was fucking, that was the field go version of your boys' catch there in the back of the end zone yeah yeah like people didn't i maybe it's not that far that was the 63 yard but like to kick a 57 yard it's like fuck man dude i remember in the late 90s the guy on the the denver broncos tied the record with 63 and they ran out on the field like they won the Super Bowl now the guy in the cowboys kicked a 70 yard it's like it's nuts but i like this bet this is going to be fun to watch and this will make everybody on our thing because if bryce young throws one now it makes everybody in it. So, uh, there you guys go. That's the, that's, uh, that's the show. We'll see you

next week. Uh, Jake, Bill and Andrew are three and a half back. And I believe I'm 13 and a half back. Not, but I'm going to go back. We're going to see either way. Hey, I got my work cut out from me, but let's get it. Let's get it to, let me just get it to single digits in the next two weeks and we'll see what happens. Paul, they're letting you hang around. They're making a big mistake. Don't do it. Money in time left, Paul. Money in time left. All right, guys. That's our show. We'll see you guys. Bye bye.
