Starting point is 00:00:00 what's up everybody welcome back to the anything better podcast i can't believe i'm saying this but we are going into week number eight it feels like yesterday um with your host me paul verzi over here bill burr over there we have jake the snake with our injury report as always and of course you know jake the snake is on top of things and andrew themless our great producer uh somewhere in beverly Hills, Bill Burr, congratulations, three weeks in a row for three and one. I thought I was going to be there with you, but I ended up going two and two. And yeah, you're on a hot run there, bud. Paul, I'm either losing every game or going three and one. I'm very streaky. Three and one, three weeks in a row, and I still don't even think I'm 500. There's no in between with you.
Starting point is 00:00:47 You either get all the baseball or you strike out looking. No, Paul, I run hot and cold. You either strike out looking and the fans go, what the? Or he's just upper decker. Well, Paul, I am so, like, fucking, at least I got baseball, dude. That's all I can say. I'm watching football and hockey. And it's just not, it's just hockey. There's no hitting.
Starting point is 00:01:13 There's no fighting. There's no fucking red line, the stupid ass. The stretch paths is the Euro step of fucking hockey. You sit there on the side. You're going like this, dude, like you're watching tennis. All the beauty of the game, all the physical, it's fucking gone. dude. It's all finesse because all these non-hockey-watching motherfuckers, every four fucking years during the Olympics, they're like, this is how they played hockey. Oh, I would watch every game. What if there was a Hall of Famer at every fucking position? And it wasn't too violent for you. So what do they do? Paul, I'm on one. They just, they totally capitulate to these fucking people. And dude, it's a snooze fest. Oh, that's terrible.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Like some of these guys, they're unbelievable. Some of the best players I've ever seen. But the lack of physical play. Dude, they have a division called the Metropolitan. Why don't you just call it the fucking manscape division? Dude, and then I watched the replay. I'm going to be grumpy, Bill. More grumpier than you.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I watched the fucking end of that Giants Broncos. Dude, that is marketing a place. to NFL football. Let's like, let's just make every fucking game. Come down to the end. Dude, there was a minute 51 left in the game. There was three possessions. Oh, it hurt me.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Dude, it used to be a, no, no, no. Listen, Paul. It used to be a two-minute offense. And he needed Montana or Elway. You needed a great quarterback, Marino, somebody to fucking, and you had two minutes to go down the fucking field. And if you didn't get a first down,
Starting point is 00:02:50 the fucking game was over. There's a minute 51 left. This is what they say. Guy goes, plenty of time left. So the fucking guy goes down the field, they score a touchdown. Now there's like, I don't know what there was left, under a minute. And the guy, plenty of time. Yeah, it was like 38 seconds left, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And they go down the field again, score a touchdown. Then the other team was that the Broncos come up. And they go like, right now it would be a 56-yarder. And the other guy goes, which is well within his range. I know. In the history of football, Paul, 56-yarder has never been well within anybody's range. You could do it, but it would be like, and then they always go, in practice, I mean, I saw him hit a 62-yarder and plenty of leg left. It's all designed, Paul, to get you to, and the game ends at zero, zero, zero, and you watched every single fucking commercial.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I do it, I'm just not buying it. And I feel like the league knew that everyone was tired of the fucking. the fucking chiefs and the preferential treatment. So they take the gloves off and they let the Eagles expose them for what the fuck they are in the Super Bowl. Okay? And then what happened? Now they were looking, okay, maybe it's time
Starting point is 00:04:04 to turn the page in the AFC, the Bills and the Ravens. Neither one of them can get it done. They're not sexy. There's no fucking flavor, whatever. And then all of a sudden, here come the Chiefs. Dude, the Chiefs play a fucking game, dude. They played an NFL football game.
Starting point is 00:04:19 They got zero flags. for the whole game dude not one false start never held anybody it's nuts dude i'm telling you right now the chiefs i'm calling it right now chiefs are going to win another super bowl because they're gonna need to be like you know it's this guy gonna do what's never been done before 30 it's gonna be that um dude i remember when when i was a kid a 47 yarder 47 yarder like oh this is a this is a coin toss now they're like 57-58 pinning them those footballs they take them out of
Starting point is 00:04:56 they're floaties they take them out of a kitty pool they take them out of a fucking refrigerator dude what the fuck are they doing with the ball like how in three years did human beings legs evolve no they didn't let's talk about the Toronto Blue Jays
Starting point is 00:05:16 who were bugging me and here's why here's why they got bats No, here's why they're bugging me, okay? It's not about, it's, I don't even mind. Why would I hate the Toronto Blue Jays? But here's the thing. Oh, you're such an easy-going guy.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I can't imagine why. They're in Canada. What do I care? But here's the thing, okay? Here's the thing, Bill. They do the champagne on the head with Frank Sinatra playing. Fine, it's a little dig. That's not fine, Paul.
Starting point is 00:05:45 No. Nothing fine with that. Tell the listeners, whatever. They were in Yankee Stadium. They were in the locker. room. Yeah. They played New York, New York. They played New York, New York. They were dumping champagne. But then this is the thing. I was willing to, I was willing to let that go. Young kids excited. But then during an interview, the Yankees lose one of them go. And I'm going, all right. And then the straw that broke the camel's back. Did I say that right? Yes, you did. Okay, good. Because you know me with those. The straw that broke the camel's back is, After they win against the Mariners, they're in the streets screaming, fuck the Yankees.
Starting point is 00:06:26 So I, I, all of like Toronto fans were in the thing going to fuck the Yankees. Oh, wait a minute, Paul. Those are Canadians. They're really nice people up there. Why would they do something like that? I have three words to say, let's go Dodgers. I gave him the Frank Sinatra. I've had it, but they do have bats, dude.
Starting point is 00:06:50 They do have bats. I got to give it to them. I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be a series. I'm hoping it's going to be a series. I mean, it's, dude, you have to watch what Eltoni did in that game for. Like, that's like nobody in the turn of the last century has ever done that. Dude, I was talking, you were right about that. You were on it, like, in real time.
Starting point is 00:07:12 But I actually, like, had to process. The guy threw six shutout innings and hit three home runs, one which went out of over the stadium. Four home runs, then hits he let up in a playoff game. Dude, in the end, he's all nonchalant. He's just like high five and like he got a single or two. Dude. Yeah, I mean, nobody's ever done that.
Starting point is 00:07:33 That's the craziest. Dude, they signed him to a three-quarters of a billion-dollar contract, and he's worth it. Dude, like mowing people down, too, like an ace. It's like an ace pitcher. It's really unbelievable, dude. I got to actually see that guy live. I actually know, I did see him live. I think I saw him live at the stadium.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I think he went yard. He's only going to pitch a couple games, and he only gets up three, four times a game. So, you know how they handle Barry Bonds? They just walk the guy. So I'm really looking like this is like the challenge for the manager. I don't think it's this foregone conclusion that because, they have this Paul Bunyan guy.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You guys have Aaron Judge, literally, a Paul Bunyan-looking guy. It's like the guy, but those guys, they only get up. Yeah. Pitch, too. That's the thing he pitches. He can actually win two games in the series with his arm. And then when he win the other two with his bat, I mean, it's like. Dude, it's the last time in a century where someone's like,
Starting point is 00:08:41 all right, dude, our pitcher's coming up soon. Listen, Barry Bonds was the greatest. Home run hitter, I have a, like, just like, if you watch him now when he's like breaking down at bats, like, knowing, like, what is coming, now you're doing this, you're working me up there. It's, it's just a shame that, like, I've always felt he was a victim of the steroid error because he was the best guy. And then other people cheated and passed him. And the president was calling them. And then I felt like he was like, all right, fuck it. Here's me on steroids.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Yep. And, you know, he wasn't. wasn't as likable as a McGuire and his Sosa. Dude, they walked them with bases loaded in the playoffs. That's the craziest shit I've ever heard. Well, I would say Barry Bonds as far as like hitting display. I mean, that's Barry Bonds, Reggie and Otani. But the fact that he also pitched seven innings, it was six,
Starting point is 00:09:48 17s, that's like Bo Jackson's shit. Even Bo Jackson didn't do that. Bo Jackson's different sports, but like, yeah. That's like back in the day, the old NFL, when guys would start both ways. Yeah. And dude, it's not like he pitched, it's not like he pitched six innings and gave up two runs and five hits. He pitched six scoreless innings. It's crazy, man.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I didn't get how they take him out as a pitcher, but he's still in the game as a hitter. Is that something new? Like, have they ever had to have a rule like that? It's crazy. Yeah, like he changed. Like, they were like, he's got to be in because he's, and the, yeah, he changed it. It's nuts. Yeah, I'm rooting for the, I'm rooting for the dog.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Also, dude, a shortstop for the Seattle Mariners hit 60 home runs this year. Really? Yeah, I think they're kind of, like, you know, every once in a while, they kind of like, they massage your sport I don't know dude 60 fucking home runs as a short stop yeah that's
Starting point is 00:10:52 those are two teams I didn't really even pay attention to but the Dodgers have been good all year from wire to wire so it'll be good actually starts tonight the Dodgers had a couple
Starting point is 00:11:03 like I don't think they played too well in the beginning of the year then they started to dip towards the end of the season but they were resting their players so yeah I don't know well World Series
Starting point is 00:11:12 World Series game one tonight enjoy that but bill we have a task here to do and before we do it we have to shout out fucking boston bruins to play some goddamn defense dude we started we started league we started three and all i'm like all right hey they made the made some offseason move dude was fucking standing around puck chasing jackasses one guy's got the puck and the other team two guys go in and then leave the guy out in front of the net that's what i do Bill, I'm not going to lie
Starting point is 00:11:44 You know I'm a hoodie guy right I mean I can't take my eyes off your hoodie How comfortable, soft it looks I love the color I mean I can't take the eyes off I'm Big Five Fuck that Lulu Lemon shit dude You go to Big Five
Starting point is 00:11:55 You can change your oil with this thing You just little fucking spray Throw it in the thing you're good Dude I can't take my eyes off it All right Here's the deal Oh it's compelling Before yeah it's cozy
Starting point is 00:12:07 It's big I like a big I like roomy I like roomy. Life's too hard. I like a little comfort. You know, I like competition. I like sports. I don't like fucking analytics. I don't need every game to come down to three to one. I like a seven-footer under the fucking basket throwing elbows with another seven-footer. I don't want to watch some fucking skinny Dutch guy shooting a three-pointed from half court and it goes in. Fantastic. Fantastic. Now bring out the lady on the unicycle with the fucking plates.
Starting point is 00:12:40 on her head. That's what I'm watching right now instead of a game. The Red Panda. Here's the deal. I'm going to say what... Red Panda is more entertaining. Yeah. What you just said is so perfect. And I'm going to say this and some people aren't going to like it. But if the Detroit Lions, which I think they might, if the Detroit Lions do not win a Super Bowl in this Dan Campbell era, Jared Gough era, I'm on St. Brown era, it is because he couldn't help himself and he did not want to kick a fucking 35-yard field. goal when it was fourth and three in the NFC championship game two different times.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Don't get me on this, Bill. I know, but Paul, that just got him to the Super Bowl. I understand that, but you got to start to realize you got to look at the thing. Analytics, no good. All right. I love it. You got to understand. You've got to look at the thing.

This is an even week, which means I believe I go first. And, you know, I thought that I was going to come, I thought that I was going to come roaring.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Come on here. I'm sorry. Geez. You know? I thought I was going to come roaring back with a, you know, a nice four and oh, three and one. It didn't happen. I went two and two. No harm, no foul, but I'm still 11 back.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Bill, you are, I think, four games back. You are right there. Jake the Snake is killing it. Andrew is killing it. I am the dead weight on this podcast, but I'm coming back. Here we go. My first pick going into week eight. Dude, I can't believe the year's Dunner is nuts.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Bill, have you seen these lines 14 and a half, 12 and a half, a lot of seven and a half? A lot of points. Colts and Chiefs are big-time favorites. Dude, the Colts are 14. and a half point favorites. Daniel Jones losing one game. Jones, dude, I've been wrong a lot. It's been a long time since I was that wrong.
Starting point is 00:15:21 And he looks comfortable. He's just standing there, looking around, whipping it around. All right, I'm going to take for the first game. Oh, wait a minute. How dare us? How dare us not bring Jake to Snake in for injury? Jake, I apologize. Jake, I apologize.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I apologize. You know what? I'm talking about not going for the points with the field goal. Go ahead, Jake. How are you, buddy? Doing good, doing good. You know, I'm excited for the World Series. I'm a Dodger guy.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So, you know, I was happy to hear you guys talk about my guy, Otani. It feels like we might be the only two to three people who want the daughters to win, I guess. You know, a lot of people say we're ruining baseball or whatever. But that is what it is. But, yeah, that'll be exciting. why are you because the amount of money you spent? Yeah, that's what they'll say,
Starting point is 00:16:12 even though there's a lot of teams that spend just as much money as the Dodgers, which is like, you know, kind of surprising. But, you know, like the Mets didn't even make the playoffs. They spent just much. They spent the most by a lot, dude. Come on. What's that?
Starting point is 00:16:23 You're spending the most by a lot. I mean, yeah, they do spend a lot. But, you know, we want to work. Come on. Listen, what your argument should be is, what about the fucking Red Sox and Yankees in the late 90s, early 2000? thousands. We were spending
Starting point is 00:16:39 crazy $180 and $200 million back when that counts was on it. My real argument is when we won a World Series in 2020 with all drafted players, they claim that's a fake World Series. So now that we're spending all this money, you know, and yeah. Why? World Series.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Because it was during COVID or whatever. People say, oh, it's a fake ring or whatever. But that was like all the guys were drafted were there, which is like so stupid. What a fans play? You know, the fake one is the first asteroid. one. And that was, exactly. And we had all drafted players for that one. So anyway, this gets me
Starting point is 00:17:12 fired up. But, yeah, we look good. I saw you getting a little heated there. I saw it. It was just like, you know, what's a real ring? What's a fake ring? The Astros ring is a real ring. And then, you know, 2024 is a fake ring. So, I don't know. Like complaining about the United States. It's time to get patriotic. I'm rooting for the Dodgers. I love it. Give Jake the snake a beer in a bar and let him say how he really feels. Well, my teams actually have a chance
Starting point is 00:17:43 so that I'll get a fire-up. So, I mean, Dodgers and Chargers. Hey, Jake, the Snake, did you see, did you see the T-shirt merch that somebody made of you with the snake in the football? Yes. We ever made that. Shout out. That looks incredible. I'll definitely get a shirt as soon as that drops.
Starting point is 00:17:59 That looks great. I'm going to make it to any of the games? Which was the, The Dodgers, probably not. I mean, those are like thousands of dollars, unfortunately. A couple of phone calls. See what we can do. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:17 You know, you're dealing with over here? Yeah. The fuck are we doing here? You give us the injury report every goddamn week. I can't get you a couple tickets to see a ball game. Jake, if you don't walk into Dodger Stadium with your newly fresh open Jake to Snake t-shirt from this show, I don't know. What's the world coming to?
Starting point is 00:18:36 I want to dress like Michael Douglas and falling down. I want a white shirt, buttoned down, short sleeve with black-brained glasses. Were you guys talking about that movie? Because I remember I had that movie on my list, and I watched it. I was like, this movie's awesome. It must have been you guys who are talking about it. That's a great movie. That movie is the epitome of how dumb-ass white people view the power structure.
Starting point is 00:19:02 They look down and think the problem is instead of fucking look. up. What they, what they're looking down, you're looking at the fucking results of the cunts above you. And the cunts above you keep going, yeah, it's them, it's them. That's what it is. No, exactly. Who's, who's hurt? Who's hurt? Jake? Yeah, so Lamar's been out the last few weeks, but he's expected to come back finally against the Bears. There are seasons on the line at one in five, so I think he's good to go. I think the line also indicates that. And then as you're mentioning the chiefs are 12 and a half my favorites and that's because jaden
Starting point is 00:19:38 daniels is out this week but they're saying it's not too bad injury so hopefully he's back next week but he's out this week so another break for the chiefs um let's see some other big ones um that's blood in you i just heard that another break for the chiefs yeah you saw him throw that under there that was a little scottom although i had nothing to say about them either though we played them twice a year um but um panther are starting Andy Dahlton. So Bryce Young is out this week against the bills. And then the Jets just continue to not be able to find their way.
Starting point is 00:20:16 So they're trying to figure out who they're starting quarterback is. They're between Fields and Tyrod Taylor. I'm sure they'll announce it sometime this afternoon. But Aaron Glenn was like, oh, it's a competitive advantage to not announce a starter. So I don't really know what mind games he's playing. But there you go. And Mack Jones is still starting for the Niners. and still winning with them.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Still winning. They're five and two. When he played with the Patriots, we were not a good team. Yeah. He'd be good with it. I'm telling you, like, that's what they, you know, they say like, you know, being one of the most coveted quarterbacks
Starting point is 00:20:53 in the draft, that could literally end your career. If you go to the wrong team with no offensive line, RG3 type of shit. Or just maybe you just struggle in obscurity and people, it's just so fucked up that you have no offensive line and people look at you like, oh, you suck.
Starting point is 00:21:12 It's like I suck a brother of my life here. And there's no time to develop either. They get like one or two years that everyone's like, oh, he's a bust. It's like, and you see all these guys like Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, you know, read their careers on real teams. They catch on.
Starting point is 00:21:27 So I was just thinking that if I was a coach, you know, like a great way to get a number one draft pick at quarterback for nothing is after three years of him running for his life like look at the Colts stole that guy
Starting point is 00:21:44 who knew who knew all right let's go well all right um dude like
Starting point is 00:21:53 Daniel Jones said something that he didn't he's a good guy he didn't want to throw the Giants under the bus but he goes like this he goes yeah he goes you know the quarterback play he goes I thought I was working out and doing everything
Starting point is 00:22:03 I needed to do before the games he goes then when i went to minnesota he goes oh i realized there's another level to this and then he goes when i got to indianapolis like the coaches were he basically just said the giants just didn't have him prepared and uh hoof hey you know sequin goes away wins a fucking i mean it's it's it's sickening all right it's going through a tough time man it happens it happens that brocco loss man i feel for you man that's that's terrible um but you know you got a good quarterback now um listen the buffalo bills are coming off of two straight losses and they have a buy week to figure out some of the the
Starting point is 00:22:46 obviously the wrinkles in their defense they're playing a panthers team with the backup quarterback if they don't win this game by a touchdown or more they're not the bills who were basically a fc favorites for the super bowl i see josh allen and the bills going into this game and kicking the shit out of the panthers by at least two touchdowns uh if they don't i got to see it so i'm going to take josh out on the buffalo bills minus seven minus a touchdown against the carolina panthers backup quarterback all right cool uh i'm going with the tail of two joes who i'm going to bengals taking joe flaco minus six and a half at home in Cincinnati i see him eating some ribs by himself afterwards and
Starting point is 00:23:28 enjoying his quiet time after another victory uh i just don't think the jets turn it around this week. I hope they don't go Owen 17, but I just don't see them doing anything turning that ship around. So I'm going to go with the Bengals. Mine is six and a half. Joe Burrow.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Flacco. Nice. Flacco. Sorry, Joe Flacco. Look, I hate to go back-to-back favorites. You know, favorites give me the willies. But I'm going to do it. I mean, no, I don't know, dude.
Starting point is 00:24:03 I don't know, man. They're one in five. Bill Parcells. What did Bill Parcells always say? You are what your record is. The Ravens are one in five, dude. You know what? I'm going to think on that one.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I'm going to take the Dallas Cowboys getting three and a half against the Broncos. As much as everybody's saying the Broncos are good, I know what they did to my Giants. They're a team, I don't know, man. C.D. Lamb is back. I'm going to take the rival Cowboys getting three and a half. All right. I like the 49ers. Oh, minus two against Texans.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Plus two. I like the way back. Yeah, they're plus two. You're plus two. You're getting points. Oh, plus two. Sorry, plus two. Yeah, I just like the way Mac Jones is playing out there. And I also know they have a bunch of injuries and shit.
Starting point is 00:24:53 But I don't know. I just, I, I know that coach does a little bit of that Marty ball shit every once in a while. but it's only two points, so I think I'll be all right. Oh, I keep thinking, I keep thinking that they're favorites. Getting two points. I'll take it. All right. I'm going to take the Baltimore Ravens with Lamar Jackson coming back.
Starting point is 00:25:25 This is their season on the line. They're at home against the Bears. And, yeah, it's another one of those. you got to show me your hand. I got to see the river. So there you go. All right. My next pick, dude, I hate this number. I wish it was six and a half, but it's seven.
Starting point is 00:25:44 The New England Patriots at home. You know, we're playing great. So what do people do? They got, oh, they got to fuck the easiest schedule in the NFL. It's just like, well, what, you know, all the praise they heap on the fucking chiefs. Like, they save all their fucking criticism for the Pats. it's like I don't understand like I just don't get it
Starting point is 00:26:07 nobody's giving Vrable any fucking credit they're just saying they got the fucking easiest schedule well great fantastic I'm going to watch another easy victory the Pats fight more than seven at home over the Cleveland Browns Bill you're just picking games with confidence
Starting point is 00:26:24 I see it in your shoulders I see it in your face you're just you're a guy picking who just went three and one three weeks in a row and you can see it Well, I'm a broken man. What you're seeing is a man who doesn't care anymore. I'm going to take, you know what? This is an interesting game, and I'm going to take it,
Starting point is 00:26:45 and I'm going to take the points. Aaron Rogers going against his former team in Pittsburgh. I think he wants to beat him. I think the Steelers are going to show up for him. They lost a kind of a heartbreaker after he had an almost unbelievable comeback. I'm going to take the Steelers at home getting three points against the Packers. I think Aaron
Starting point is 00:27:06 Rogers kind of shows up and there's a little extra pep in a step for this game. I think the crowd's going to be behind it, and I like them getting the points. So that is my fourth and final pick. Look, I took two favorites and two dogs. What do you want from me? You also took two games that I wanted.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Oh, shit. I was looking at that Packers' Steelers game. So Paul, you know what? This is going to come down to Giants, Eagles, the Dolphins, Falcons. And I don't like division rivalries with
Starting point is 00:27:38 that many points, seven and a half. I kind of like the Giants with that quarterback and that fullback. It's in Philly. I'm going to stay away from that one. I don't know why. I'm going to take the Dolphins getting seven and a half points against the fucking Falcons because they're
Starting point is 00:27:54 the Falcons, because they should win by 10 and instead they're like to win by six. they're on the fucking road the dolphins are reeling it doesn't make any fucking sense and that's why they're going to cover oh okay i like it i thought you were going to go falcons they have every plenty of time left paul
Starting point is 00:28:12 there's plenty of time bill there's 16 seconds left anything could happen time i mean they get out of bounds there can be three more possessions dude they're down 10 and there's a minute 19 this is well within their field goal kickers range I mean, he was kicked in 90-yarders during practice.
Starting point is 00:28:32 They're just telling you these stories. Oh, my God, I don't want to miss this. It's so true. Yeah. All right. Well, there you have it. Those are our picks. What do we got here?
Starting point is 00:28:46 We have two, no, actually, Monday night football is not doing two games anymore. That is over. So now we have the Kansas. Oh, Bill, you got to sing it. You know what time it is, Bill. Oh, here we go. Let the Monday. night special win some money for you oh let that monday night special win some fucking money for you
Starting point is 00:29:08 um there's a big line guys this is one of the biggest lines we've had on a monday night special actually this is the biggest line we've ever had on a monday night special 12 and a half points the kansas city chiefs do we dare take the commanders no this is going to be the big the chiefs are back they got their feet underneath them is jaden daniel's back or no no that's why the line's so high marius marriott is starting um so and he looked terrible and he looked terrible and who was that the cowboys yeah he did not play well so uh hard to imagine the canters cover um all right how is the chief's defense pretty pretty good shovel passing or scampering down the field for a fucking first down when all the receivers are covered that is the underrated thing
Starting point is 00:30:01 about the chiefs they're probably like a top 10 defense you know around that range and they also got rishi rice back they got their number one ride receiver back too so they're fully loaded here all right and i feel like i just i don't believe in any of this shit anymore i think it's all fucking storylines so they have to win they have to win big there's going to be a lot of this not as focusing in on this fucking Tim fingering somebody well the ideal the ideal
Starting point is 00:30:30 outcome for the NFL is the cheese win by like 10 you there next McIntyre next to fucking somebody else guys what about taking that what just hear me out on this what about taking the 12 and a half
Starting point is 00:30:47 points at Marcus Marriota I mean is there any kind of level of like pride that the I don't mind that I don't mind There's nothing worse than betting on the Chiefs and having to root for that fucking musical. I mean, here's the deal. If the commanders come out and score first,
Starting point is 00:31:02 we're in pretty good shape. I took the Raiders last week, thinking there's no way that the Chiefs were going to cover that. And they did. So, I don't know. Who spreads that big in the week? Paul, why does he do this? Do they not know that after every fucking play,
Starting point is 00:31:18 they do a huddle? I think it's 12. The rest of the flag. yeah yeah it's it's it's before they realized that the other team should challenge it um are the commanders with marriota better than the raiders well yeah they did they beat the commanders with mariotta did beat the raiders okay well that's a very good point let's see over under on on amount of penalties called on the chiefs what is it one i would say two maybe 30 yeah take the under um i think we take the commanders with the points just to just so we have points in our bag let's do it that sounds
Starting point is 00:31:58 fun yeah let's root for washington over the you know listen chiefs could win by 10 we win would you want to yeah let's you know that's a lot of points double digit points two scores i mean if they win by 12 we i think we still get the money if they win by 12 we get them by a point one. Did Mariotta look horrific or no? He didn't look good. He was over-throwing people. You know, he's got a little bit of mobility so he can extend the play, as they say.
Starting point is 00:32:37 But he had some ugly balls and about talking junk. All right, so that's one leg. I mean, we probably have to do Mahomes to throw on. But I would say for a backup quarterback, that's what I was thinking when he came into the game. I'm like, that's fucking, that's a solid backup to have Marcus Marriott. I mean, he played like, he started for at least three seasons. But the Titans, he was there before, you know, whatever happened happened.
Starting point is 00:33:08 You need to go over two and a half to get plus money. So maybe do Mahomes to throw two touchdowns to. We did Mahomes to run one. And that's not that could be, that could be not. terrible. Sure. We already hit that. We already hit that one, though.
Starting point is 00:33:26 We hit him to run one and throw one. What about Rishi Rice to catch one? What the fuck are we taking the commanders for? And then betting on all the offense for the fucking. Good point. Good point. Dude, I don't think the commanders are going to cover this game. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:42 No, it's a lot. I don't want to jinx it, but. You think it's going to be a bloodbath? I just think three scores easily. What if we did an alt line of 14? and a half for the chiefs and then like do it and then put some other stuff like Jake Jake you know what I think Bill and Andrew might be on to something do let's just let's just suck it up let's just take the let's just go with the blood bath let's just go let's just go dude for like four touchdowns right is this high can you still do a money line yeah but that's you know awesome yeah I mean odds will be at about like five brands to win 20 bucks.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Exactly. Minus 40,000. Let's do it like this, dude. Bill's right. We're betting on every chief to do something good. Let's just go chiefs to win by two touchdowns. Mahomes to throw one, Rashie Rice to catch one.
Starting point is 00:34:43 We're just going for the bloodbath? It's this game. Let's just go for the bloodbush. To make a rational decision. and what you just said is what everybody thinks is going to happen. And if what everybody thinks is going to happen, casinos couldn't stay open. All right, so you want to do this?
Starting point is 00:35:01 You want to do this? I'm ready to do this. You want to do a 360 or 180, whatever you want to call it? Let's do, let's do. Right back to the chiefs bet. Let's do commanders. Let's get. Paul, talk this out of it.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And then Jake's going to talk about it. And then just go, Rashid Wright. to catch one, Patrick McHolmes. You know what? I like that better. You know what? You're so right. Let's do this. Let's do, let's take the points and Mariotta to throw one. Hey, okay.
Starting point is 00:35:35 How about that? How about Mario da shows up in Kansas City and starts to overachieve? So commanders plus 12 and a half? Commanders plus 12 and a half, Mario to throw one. And then just so we cover the bet, we get Mahomes to throw. No one. Dude, Mariotta's going to get leveled the first play. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:56 And then they're going to fly in Joe Flacko. And I like it. All right. Is that what we're doing? No, Bill just made the most sense. Everybody in America's taking the chiefs to do this. Let's go the other way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I'm in. All right. Mariotta, Mario to throw one. Marcus Mariotta to throw three. Marcus Marriota have a career game No, we'll do Mario to throw one
Starting point is 00:36:27 Quarterback controversy And then what do you guys want the third one to be? You guys pick the third one. I say the points in Mario We've got to do something The Chiefs are going to win But they're not going to cover So you've got to look at it that way
Starting point is 00:36:43 So look at it commanders Then you got to do like fucking up You've got to say that Patrick Mahomes is going to do something. Totally. Yeah, I'm looking at, I'm trying to, Andrews scroll on, so I'm curious to see what comes up. What are some options? Can we do some yard and stuff, maybe?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Interceptions. Marriota. Oh, God. Marriota. Over one half. Over half. No. I don't want to take a guy.
Starting point is 00:37:21 I don't want to take a guy to throw one, but then also throw a pick. Let's Yeah, I agree. Let's, this is, dude, this is, you know what? This is the biggest spread in history. And to shit the bed. What's Mahomet's yard? This is the longest we've ever done the Monday night special because the line is so long.
Starting point is 00:37:38 All right, here's the deal. Points. We take the points. We take Mariotta. And then maybe we do something with the, you want to just do Rishi Rice to catch one or Mahomes are throwing? No, it's over 257. It's pretty low.
Starting point is 00:37:50 That is pretty low. It'll do that in the first. That's minus $250. I like that, though. Marietta 142. Oh, sir. I like that it's only $257. They must know something.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Yeah, I don't. That's just... All right, so fuck it then. Fuck it. Let's, yeah. We'll take the commanders. Mahomes to throw one, and we just need one more thing. We did Mariano.
Starting point is 00:38:15 We did Mario to throw one. you don't think he's going to run it let's do let's do that let's just do mahomes yards it's kind of low or we can do the under if we really want to be crazy life's too short to take
Starting point is 00:38:33 the under Dan Katz yeah that's right what is the over under 257 for my home's yards no what's the over under oh I think you meant like total score yeah what is a total score
Starting point is 00:38:47 oh um 42 48 48 um that's probably going under I'm not great with totals but yeah I think that's under too well we're going to take the commanders why not take the fucking under two there you go
Starting point is 00:39:05 all right I like it commanders the under and then what Mario one pro one perfect yeah that works yeah all right Jesus Christ this was like negotiations This was like negotiating a contract.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I was just going to say, it was like the war room. We're sitting here trying to figure shit out. Also, uh, logo shirts up on the merch store. Link will be in the description. There you go to the link. Go to the link. Go to the link. Get the shirt. Oh, it's a nice shirt.
