Hey guys, it's us
The Jonas Brothers.
I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from.
some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman
helped make you funnier.
This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.
Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, it was good.
y'all, you're listening to Learn the Hardway
with your favorite therapist and host, Kear Games.
This space is about black men's experiences,
having honest conversations that it's really not safe to have anywhere,
but you're having them with a licensed professional
who knows what he's doing.
How many men carry a suit or armor.
It signals to the world that you're not to be played with.
And just because you have the capability
that does not mean that you need to.
Listen to learn the hard way on the AHA radio app,
Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast,
Welcome to Slips and Picks, the premier NFL gambling show, number one, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the boys to you.
You're probably wondering, where's Chet Savage? Why isn't it here? You're probably a little bit confused.
Well, there's a few reasons. Chet Savage has been making very bad decisions. He's way under 500.
He's been leading everybody to the wrong end of every pick, and he is the first person to eclipse 100 losses on this show.
For those reasons, he is now in the tank at Gamblers Anonymous,
but he's never been the reason why you guys come.
And I'm just kidding, by the way, he's in legal trouble.
You come for Delaney the Mule Walker.
My man is batting 56% on the year.
He's 116 and 91,
and he has just enough of a record to label him as a bad boy.
Whether or not I mean that about a criminal record or gambling record,
that's for you to decide.
Joining us in Chet Savage's place this week is our boy, J.P. Hovey,
Mr. Sunday School himself, known for his parlays, and gaming up K. Adams on Twitter.
And to his left, finally, is the Mac Attack Jack McPherson.
And if you were to bet and guess if this is a guy who enjoys music festivals
and believes in seasonal depression, you would be right.
This is the slips and picks, the premier NFL gambling show.
We get you paid, we get you laid, and we talk ball.
This is slips and picks.
Bustin with the boys presents slips and picks 500.
Led by retired diamond level network marketer,
Chet Savage,
money interpreter of the year runner of William Gecko,
Theodore, the Mule Jenkins,
with diversity and failing college dropouts who get no hose,
the interns.
You're watching the S&P 500, the stock market one.
Welcome to the show.
Merry Christmas.
Let's kick it off.
Before we get into talking Dallas, before we talk lions, before we talk all the games that we're about to in the buy and sell operation,
let's kick it to the interns for the weekly recap on what we did over the weekend.
Gentlemen, thank you for kicking it to us.
Just not the week we wanted to see once again.
It's been really tailing off the back half of this year.
But let's just run through some records and we'll get it going.
We have Chet, the Absent, at 8 and 13 on the weekend.
Gecko went 4 and 8 and the mule went 6 and 8 zero winning records on last week's
late very disappointing to see but it looks like they brought in a couple ringers
set the tone right get the juices flowing back again so I think we might be on to
something for week 16 see you guys thank you interns thank you guys no problem
of course we're everywhere mule some tough weeks recently yes yes talk about your
failure
Well, cool cats and kittens, it's December.
Things happen in December, and I'm going to get back on track to get these units stacked.
I promise you.
Stick with the mule, and you're going to go places.
Promise is delivered, but not executed.
December, December.
The last seven weeks, you are 53 and 49 at 52% right below myself, who arguably the best gambler right now, 55 and 44, I'm hitting 55%.
Chet, on the other hand, is 51 and 62.
He's no longer on the show right now.
But interns, JP, Jack.
Yeah, like Delaney said, this is a December ball.
So we're throwing everything out the window.
It's going to be a majority gut decision,
a lot of intuition going into it.
So, yeah, you can have all the stats in the world,
but at the end of the day,
you just got to trust what's going on right here in the gut.
And I have good news.
I want everybody to take a look in this bag.
Keep it to yourself.
What's in there, Will?
It's empty.
Nothing, right?
That's what stands between us and greatness.
It doesn't matter what happened in these prior weeks.
That is the ultimate difference between greatness and us.
Nothing.
That is why you've gotten the call up to the big league, son.
Jack, talk about what it's like going from single A balls
and intern now up to the big leagues in, slips and picks.
You know, you've got to appreciate when a moment comes to you,
but it's all about capitalizing on said moment.
You can get called up, and you're either a hero or a zero.
So I think this week we show why Chet was kicked off while we're here now.
And I believe we're going to come out dominating as the heroes.
Wouldn't be shocked if JP and I go combine, you know, 22 and 2.
But for now, we're not going to get too hasty.
We're going to stay humble.
We're going to keep it moving.
Like I said, trust the gut, trust the instincts, because December ball and everything's out the window.
All right, moving to the top of the block by yourself.
This is where we go over the main headliner games for the weekend.
the boys pick something that they like against the spread,
and we talk a little shop, we talk a little ball.
The first game on the docket, Dallas Cowboys at the Miami Dolphins.
The spread currently since the dolphins are favored at minus one and a half,
and the over-under in that game is 51.5 points.
Delaney Walker, the Mule, Theodore, kick us off.
Where are you going with this game?
This is a tough one.
You know, you look at it.
You got both teams that are first in the A&A,
and the Dolphins are first in the AFC East,
the Dallas is first in the NFC East.
This is going to be a big game.
This can be a game that we see maybe being a Super Bowl.
Who knows?
No, I don't see the Dolphins going.
But at the end of the day...
You see the Cowboys going to the Super Bowl.
I don't see them going either.
I'm just saying, can be a game.
Can be a game is December football.
Never know.
But with Prescott, Pollard, Lamb,
and then they got that boy,
D. Bling, with eight interceptions on the defense
with Dallas Cowboys,
can they stop that high power defense?
High power offense, the Miami Dolphins, I don't know.
They got two of Tyreek.
They got Wado doing the Wado out there.
They got Rahim killing these cats with the Rock getting to the sideline.
So with that being said, I'm going Dolphins, man.
I think the Dolphins get it done.
He beat the Cowboys home in Florida.
This could be the premiere of the Super Bowl.
Neither of these teams will make the Super Bowl.
I don't know if the Cowboys or if the Dolphins can do it against the Cowboys.
but I'm going Dolphins.
JP, take us a school, tell us with the Book of Paul.
It makes sense, but not enough sense
because there's two stats I found today
that really bother me about the,
well, really one stat about the dolphins
is that bothers me.
They have zero wins over a team
with a winning record.
The Cowboys have two of those wins.
That's a good stat.
That's alarming.
That's a good stat.
That's alarming.
Yeah, that's a good stat.
So Miami is 0 and 2 against teams
with a winning record.
They haven't beaten the team.
They haven't beaten.
the team with the record.
So, yeah, however many losses they have.
But Tyreek coming back too, though.
O-N-4?
He'll be back.
I'm rocking with the Cowboys.
They can't be a good team.
That's a crazy spot right there.
But, you know, I don't know.
I'm just as confused as everybody else.
It's like the Cowboys are back to being the Cowboys.
Mac Attack, do you have anything to add?
Who are you going with in this game?
Yeah, I've got a couple things.
One, Delaney just hit on it.
Tyreek did take the week off when they went up to the gym.
and unleashed an ass beating of a win.
Tyreek rested, though.
Going to be back.
Jalen and Tyree together is a very unsophable wide receiver duo.
Also a nice little piece.
The Cowboys are three and four on the road
while the dolphins are six and one at home.
This is Christmas Eve game.
Everyone's going to be watching.
Their families, most importantly, are going to be watching,
and they've got to live up to the expectations
of what their kids think they are.
They're not going to go home losers.
They're not going to go home hanging their hats.
I'm going to be with the dolphins taking the spread as well.
So I'm riding with Delaney.
That's a great pick.
My personal opinion, because I've been rocking with the Cowboys the last two weeks,
the Dallas Cowboys are a catfish.
They're that person that does really good over text.
They shoot you some great photos,
only to find out that this is some dude at his computer in the back of a Texaco
sending you moments from the 90s.
The Cowboys live in the 90s.
We all want it to come back, but it's just not going to happen.
It's not going to happen this year.
And it's not going to happen this weekend against the dolphins.
I'm taking the dolphins at home, and you solidify my confidence with all the data points that you bring up.
JP, but it does have to feel good that you're a solo man on a mission.
It feels great.
One and O.
The contrarian play either pays big or, like I said, you become the zero.
So we will find out in due time.
If this pick loses for you, you've got to wear a clown nose next week.
I can do that.
Okay.
Moving on.
The Detroit Lions at the Minnesota Vikings.
The Lions last week put it on the Baylor.
The Vikings have been, you know, up and down.
Nick Mullen seems like he's the worst, best, unluckiest, luckiest quarterback of all time.
JP, I'll kick it to you.
The spread on this game, the Lions are favored at minus three.
The over-under and points is 46.5.
Where's your brain?
My brain is sitting at 2-0 with my pick so far.
I'm rocking with the Lions to cover.
This week, history will be made in Detroit.
If they win, they clinch their first divisional title.
Since 1993, the number one X factor, Sam Leporta, nationally televised games.
He's played six of them.
He's got five touchdowns.
There is rumors out there if he goes off in these next three games.
Two of these games are against the Vikings that he could be up there for all pro as a rookie.
I can see it.
That's incredible.
And well done with the research.
Neil, are you able to top that preparation?
Well, let me talk about why we're not going Vikings.
They got Mullins.
Mullins is the starting quarterback, right?
Yeah.
Now, Mullins, Madison is out.
Mones is the starter, too, over who you thought was the franchise quarterback.
Dobbs.
Dobbs is?
I mean, they're doing Dobbs wrong, man.
Dobbs has just got the roll of the dice that ain't sitting with him.
Snake eyes, bro.
Come on.
Why, you think they're doing him wrong?
Because he's black.
That's what we needed for the clip.
Yeah.
Madison is out.
Jefferson ain't been playing this great.
The defense is struck with so many injuries.
I feel like the Lions is going to get it, get it done, come out, beat the Vikings at home.
Just like he said, Sam.
Sam has been showing his butt off, man.
Toot to you, man.
I hope you get all pro because you've been doing your thing, baby, and go out there and give it to them.
Help golf off.
You got Montgomery.
You got Gibbs.
You got St. Brown Hutchinson out there on defense locking it down.
The Lions is stacked, and we're excited to see you go to your clinch your first playoffs, man.
Good luck.
Jack, where are you riding?
So right now, again, it's going to be who's hungrier.
It's December ball, but the Lions need this win to clinch the NFC North with just one win,
and I think they're going to be a little bit hungry.
I believe earlier not to correct you.
You said in Detroit, but this game will be played in Minnesota.
Oh, in Minnesota.
This is a way game for the Lions, which still does not sway my decision.
Because if you've been paying attention.
Trying to get a leg up on the competition, game one.
Yeah, like I said, they'll be celebrating in Detroit.
Oh, okay, all right, all right.
You know, it doesn't sway my decision, though,
because if you've been paying attention,
the Lions are now back on top,
tied in the NFL for best records against the spread this season.
So I do believe this is going to now propel them
into the number one leading against the spread team.
I'll be going Lions with the points.
Boys, I'm riding, and I'm riding because, again,
I think the Lions are an indoor team.
They're 7 and 2 this year when they're playing in a dome.
Vikings are also 2 and 4 at home.
I think they're a little bit in disarray.
Nick Monsi's trying to figure it out.
I do think he plays a better game this weekend,
but I think the lines are going to start getting on a run here
going into the playoffs and hopefully buy a home game somewhere
because I don't think that they're going to do well
if they have to play outdoors anywhere cold.
What is the stat call?
I know it was AAA, but now that we got four,
what is that a quad?
What is that a quad?
A quad play?
Quad play?
Yeah, maybe four by four.
Who knows?
Four.
Whatever you put on the edit.
The four by four, the boys are riding.
Yes, sir.
Triple A, triple A.
Get wrecked, Taylor.
All right.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Buccaneers.
The good thing these teams are at home.
They're staying in Florida.
The over-under on this game is 43 and a half points.
Right now, the Jaguars are favored at minus one.
The Jaguars are on a three-game losing streak.
Jack.
Where do you think this one plays?
Do you think they continue to lose?
Yeah, this one seems pretty sure.
straightforward to me. The Jags are now hitting a decrease in productivity this season,
and the Buccaneers are hitting an uptick in a major way. And I do think Baker, he thrives in this
late season football where the odds are a little bit stacked against him. So right now,
with Trevor Lawrence also on concussion protocol, I don't think he's going to have enough time
to recover and the league's going to allow him to play. Again, I think Baker's going to come into
this hungry. He's going to be barking. He's going to be running hard. I like Bucon.
year's money line.
JP, is this an easy game to pick?
Another easy game to pick, and I'm going with the Jags.
I know they're on the three-game losing streak, but they've lost the three good teams.
They lost through the Bengals, they lost to the Browns, and they lost to the Ravens.
And in these games, I feel like...
A single-digit, too, right?
Like, close games.
One of them, I believe, was double-digit, the other two.
We'll pretend one-score games here.
Yeah, three one-score games, and Trevor Lawrence played well.
in all of those games, in my opinion.
And the Bucks on their win streak,
I don't have the teams written down.
I'm doing the note card technique, flashcards.
Don't have the teams down,
but I know they're not better
than the Bengals, Browns, or Ravens that they've beaten.
Mule, what do you concur with?
I mean, what Jack said,
with Lawrence being out, still in concussion protocol,
they're going to have CJ beat hard, I think.
It's going to be the...
Bethard.
Beatherd.
Whatever this fucking name is.
So, Bethard.
Should be the quarterback.
We don't know how well he's going to play.
We've seen a little bit of him, but he didn't look too well.
Jones is out, question him, boom.
Might not play.
And then you talk about the defense for the Buccaneers.
They're injury prone as hell right now.
They are struck, but I like what Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, and Goodwin can do.
I think that I'm going to have to ride with Jack and go Buccaneers.
I know I had the Jaguars down, but just hearing what he had to say and then going,
saying Trevor Lawrence is going to be in concussion protocol.
I just felt like the Buccaneers is going to come off strong,
especially off that win against Green Bay last week,
beating the crap out of them after Jordan Love being looking so good
the last few weeks, and they went out there and just got stopped.
So we'll see what happens.
I think the Buccaneers takes this game.
And I'm going to do a money line as well, my guy.
Yes, sir.
Both money lines.
You guys could have just used them for your underdog pick.
They must be that confident.
Yeah, they must be that confident.
You don't think it's Bethard?
C.J. Beth, Beth.
He's been around a while.
Yeah, and he also has...
National cat.
He also has a good reputation, too.
Like, everybody talks about his prep work, everything else.
You don't think going into a second game
if he has to start and play this game,
like he'll do a lot better going into games.
Well, because they got Trevor Lawrence is questionable.
So he may still be getting reps in and out,
not him not really getting that full refing.
And then at game time,
I'm sure they're going to make that announcement,
like if he's going to play or not.
So I'm sure he's going to prepare,
like he's going to start that game.
I just don't think...
I just don't think...
I just...
You know Trevor's playing.
I feel like Trevor's going to play.
I feel like Trevor's going to play.
And I just don't think, but he's still injured.
He's been riddled with injuries, right?
He's going to go out there and not be 100%.
He may not.
If he came back off the ankle, he's coming back from a compound pressure.
I'm sure.
I'm sure you've got a few.
Yeah, and I went back out there next drive.
And when you go out there, you're a little fuzzy.
You might be seeing double.
You might be seeing triple.
And with Baker, you're going to see quad.
You can quadruple with him.
He's barking.
He's ready and he's hungry.
You're not wrong on fuzziness, but he's got a week to recover now.
Like, that's...
What's also, don't forget, the injury he took three weeks ago.
A sprained ankle?
Spraying to ankle sometimes are worse than a break.
Yeah, it is.
I'll tell you this.
If I'm seeing double, I'm making triple.
If you look at Derek Harry...
Rocky Balboa hit the one in the middle.
Right.
Hit the one in the middle.
I see three of them out there.
Look at Derek Harry.
back from a concussion only had 10 yards rushing off 20 carries.
I feel like concussions play a part.
He got nothing to do with getting torn up as an offensive line and he's getting hit
behind the line of scrimmage.
So you tell me every place.
You're just saying Derek had was concussed so he couldn't figure out where he wanted to run?
No, I'm just saying you play slower.
You just play a little slower.
Everyone knows.
You know this, man.
Come on.
You don't want to put your hand in it.
You see double, you make triple.
As JP said, I'm.
As JP said, I'm taking the Jaguars.
I think they're not necessarily back against the wall
because they're in the division that they're going to win,
but I think that they do know and understand
that you've got to start playing your best ball in December.
I think they do that against, yes, a Buccaneers' defense
that came to play against the Packers.
But again, there's a lot of question marks.
Devin White, he was like a healthy scratch.
Devin White hurt too, though.
No, he was a healthy scratch last weekend.
He just didn't play.
Yeah, like there's some drama,
because he commanded like $100 million contract
before the season.
Now, depending on his play, like, I don't know.
I haven't, I haven't, like, watched all the tape on him.
Levante's injured.
But I think with a lot of that drama that stews around,
I think it's kind of like a poison that'll eventually poke it out.
And I think the Jaguars take advantage this weekend.
The final game, the New York Giants at the Philadelphia Eagles.
Right now, the Eagles are favored minus 10.
And a half.
They are on a three-game losing streak.
Again, have lost to some tough opponents.
The over-under and points on this game is 43-5.
Do we believe in the Italian-Stalian?
Tommy DeVito, Jack.
So I saw an interesting stat.
It wouldn't even call it a stat,
but something that made me a little disappointed.
I believe in the DeVito family, and I love it.
It's peak television.
It's great entertainment.
But as of this week, I saw a restaurant in New Jersey
canceled a meet and greet with the DeVito family
because they doubled their appearance fee
from $10,000 to $20,000 over the week,
which leads me to believe
that they're letting their mind control the narrative.
and you don't want that.
They're starting to get a little cocky.
They're starting to get a little too high on their own supply.
Too much of the Gabagool.
So with that being said, I think it's pretty easy.
Eagles off a three-game losing streak.
This is big GBOT game.
Eagles need this win for seating in a major way,
and I think the Giants are already looking forward to next year.
So I do like the Eagles with the points minus 10.5.
I do think the Eagles get it.
I feel like the concern is as a gambler, the 10 and a half points.
It's a lot.
I think the Eagles do win, but it's one of those things.
And again, you're talking about the Italian family.
Like, this isn't like a Disney book.
We're talking about Italians.
Yesterday's price ain't today's price.
When demand goes up, the price goes up.
It's not him, no, it's the family.
It's the family.
It's the family.
When you look, it's almost like the Taylor Swift dilemma.
When you see the broadcast, they almost are showing the agent,
the dad and the kissing and the hugging.
And I love it.
I love the family unit.
But you know when you get a crazy uncle in the mix
and he gets a little spotlight, all of a sudden,
it's all about his show and no longer about the ball.
It's no longer about the game.
So I think that they're going to have an upsetting Christmas this week,
and I do believe, like I said, Eagles minus 10 and a half.
You know who the crazy uncle is in this game?
Who?
It's the agent.
Oh, 100%.
It's the agent.
As a matter of fact, I just put it together like a few days ago
because one of my guys had texted me saying,
hey, you remember Sean Saletto, right?
And I was like, ah, I felt like I kind of recognize him,
I wasn't sure.
He was trying to recruit me at one point in time coming out,
but he was wanting to do all this appearance stuff
and push his new books.
Yeah, he's trying to get paid.
This isn't about a way.
It's about the bottom line for him.
And like I said, 10K to 20K appearance fee
because you got a couple wins and a couple of these
and a couple of those.
I'm telling you, man, Jaylon Hertz,
he's going to come out dead face.
He's going to be pissed off.
He's not going to take a fourth loss in a row.
Even on an away team on Christmas Eve,
I love the Eagles.
The more I talk about it,
I might even push the line to minus 14.
Who knows?
Minus 14.
We'll stop minus 14.
Minus 10.5 for now.
Minus 14 with Jack.
JP, where are you going with this one, kid?
I'll keep it quick.
The raising the prices is not good.
But more importantly, Christmas Day is my birthday.
And for my birthday, I would like to see the Eagles win by 10.5 or more.
Or more than 10.
That's my pick.
I mean, Jack, he talked to, I don't even have to speak on this.
Jack said it.
He killed it.
He killed that shit.
Took a lot of time, but tremendous job.
But at the end of the day, again, I don't like the spread.
It's very high.
I know the Eagles are going to win that game, but I don't think they're going to beat them that bad.
I just feel like they've been playing slow.
Again, I know they're on a three game losing streaks, losing streaks,
so they want to come in and be tough and whoops some ass, but I got to go with the Giants.
I just think they're going to cover the spread.
They're going to lose the game, but they're going to cover that spread.
I was going to agree with you, but now I disagree.
but now I disagree.
I'm going to go Eagles to cover minus 10 and a half.
We're going to take a quick break
and when we come back,
we're going to jump into the parlayes.
And just to get your mind right,
one of them's going to be up here
for the first parlay and then we're going to switch
and the second one's going to come up
for the second parlay.
After these messages.
Welcome back to slips and picks.
I hope you enjoyed the commercial.
I do want to say something.
When I was going to agree with you on New York,
New York is two and one
in their last three gets a spread.
Yeah.
That's good.
Moving on to the bet the boys parlay
Large sample size
What this is here to explain
to people who don't necessarily always get it
The bet the boys index parlay
Is we take a player prop
Bet of our choosing that we combine
As a parlay in one
We're going to have three picks up here
Myself, the Mule, J.P., Sunday school
And then we will kick it over to the ETFs
We'll get to that in a second
Bet the Boys Parlay
Mule who are you going with this weekend
For your player prop bet
Jared Gough
Over one and a half TDs.
My man is back.
Sorry I put you on the bench,
but I got you coming back, baby.
Get it done for me so we can get this parlay going.
JP.
Mule is a mortal lock at these.
Every single week, I feel like he hits.
He lost last week.
No, it says...
I hit.
Justin Fields hit?
I thought it was a loss.
No, he hit it.
He threw over 32.
You crazy.
Stop playing with me.
He just like the hate.
Hey, maybe I do.
Maybe I do.
That's on me.
That's on me.
I apologize for being a hate.
One week, he should pick all three players.
But mine is going to be the man I was talking about earlier, and that is Sam Leporta anytime touchdown.
I love that.
Travis Kelsey has five touchdowns this year.
George Kittle has six.
Jake Ferguson has five.
Sam Leporta has nine.
Wow.
He wants the double digits.
So we're going Sam Leporta anytime touchdown.
Yeah.
I love that.
Sam Leporta is the number.
one tight in the NFL as this moment.
Agreed. I concurred.
Who's second?
It's, what's old
buddy name? Travis Kelsey?
No. George Kittle? T.J. Higginson?
I think T.J.
No, it's not TJ's. From the Viking? Who? What teams
he playing on? NFL? NBA?
Yeah. Is he in college?
Maybe the Chicago dude.
Co-commit?
Yeah, cold commit. All right.
I'm going to say, what I'm going to
with here's, I'm going to switch it up a little bit, but I'm going to stay in the tight end realm.
T.J. Hawkinson, I like where this spot is at. They've lifted his receptions the past few weeks
to five and a half, and I think he's failed the last two weeks, getting five and four
receptions. But if you look at his year, he is averaging a little over six receptions per game.
I'm going to take him over receptions this weekend. I'll go as high as five and a half.
If it creeps up over six and a half, go ahead and bail on T. J. Hawkinson and just go with
these two. But if it's sitting at four and a half or five and a half, which I think it will be,
hopefully four and a half.
This is a lock all day long.
I love this parlay.
Guys, do you feel good about that pick to add into the park?
This is the same game parlay.
Yeah.
Same game parlay.
All white team parlay.
Now to our Rashard Mendenhall parlay.
I think we're going to go with Gibbs anytime touchdown,
the running back out of Detroit.
We're going to go with Lamar Jackson anytime touchdown from Baltimore.
And we're going to go with Rahim Mostert,
anytime touchdown with the Dolphins.
That is your Richard Mindenhall,
all black parlay to go against our all white parlay.
Yes, sir.
Moving on to E.TFS.
It's the Easy Team's favorite fund, where we choose a favorite of our choosing, and we're
going to take the money line.
We might move the line down.
Who knows what the Mule does?
Mule, we will go ahead and kick it off with you.
I'm going bills.
Bills versus the Chargers, and I'm taking the money line since this is a parlay for all
of us, parlay, I will be taking money line.
What's the, where's the spread at right now with that game?
That game and what is the odds for that money line?
I know.
That shit is minus 800.
Minus 800.
Minus 800.
10, minus 800.
I'm trying to tell you.
I mean, the Chargers got fucking boat raced.
What was it before they scored against the Raiders last week?
Was there?
50 something.
Yeah.
Like 52 to nothing before they finally got on the board?
Yeah.
I mean, an absolute.
Why do you think that's a minus 800?
$800.
That's all right.
We'll mix it together.
JP, where you want to go
with this ETF pick?
I am rocking with
the Packers
versus the Panthers.
Fuck.
That's mine.
Oh, is that yours?
That's mine.
I'll find a different one.
Great pick.
I think that's a great pick.
Here's why.
Remember what was in this bag?
Nothing.
That's what stands
between the Packers and the Panthers.
Absolutely nothing.
As Jack says,
the Packers' playoff hopes
are on life support.
They have a shot.
What best?
shot to have it against than the Panthers to keep it alive.
We're rocking with the Packers.
I'm going to get a little spicy.
I'm going to go with...
What's Elon telling you?
The Bears at home.
Bears at home minus four and a half against the Arizona Cardinals.
Ooh.
I think the staffs, they saved their jobs.
They lived to fight another year.
Justin Fields, over 32 and a half passing attempts.
What is it?
Completions or passing attempts?
Passing attempts.
Okay, attempts.
So they're throwing the ball.
They're throwing it around.
I think they make enough plays this weekend against the Cardinals.
I'm going to go Bears Money Line.
Right now it's 4'5, so we're going Money Line.
I think that's a good win.
The fucking Cardinals will is like two and three.
Yeah, they won three games.
Bears Money Line.
So we got Bears Money Line, Chargers Money Line, and Packers Money Line.
For those out there following, who want to follow the ETFF's Parlay.
The giveaways.
The giveaways that you need to listen to.
I can't miss that.
We've been trying to be consistent with that.
We've had a couple situations.
We've been running the giveaways
like a fucking lemonade stand.
We need to be on our shit this weekend.
If you show us a screenshot
of one of these parlayes
that you do with the boys with this show,
the bet the boys parlay or the ETFS parlay,
screenshot and hashtag,
what should they hashtag, J.P?
Hashtag.
Hashtag slips and picks?
Hashtag slips and picks
and at J.Hovey 34.
You hashtag slips and picks
with a screenshot.
shot of one of these parlayes, you will be entered into a shot of winning $300 to your Venmo account
on time, on time.
We'll get it to you by the end of 2024, at least.
That is on time.
Guaranteed.
That is the JP Hovey guarantee.
We're about to take a quick break.
The boys are about to switch seats.
Jack, Mac Attack, he's going to be coming in for this last block where we will talk,
Pump and Dump and Underdog.
Stick with this.
We'll be right back.
Stick with us.
Welcome back to slips and picks.
Pump or dump.
I deliver the total points on a game.
The boys are either going to pump it and take the over
or dump it and take the under.
Maxin, Mac Attack, Jackie Boy, we're going to start with you.
The bills at the Chargers right now,
the total in points is 42 and a half.
Are you pumping or dumping?
So it's obvious the bills are hitting a huge stride
with two back-to-back, massive wins.
And the Chargers with a just disgusting,
loss.
But with that being said, I think you guys
with experience in the NFL know this.
When a coach like Brandon Staley
is fired, the week following a loss
like that, the team plays
harder. You remember it last year with
the Raiders, or was it two years ago?
Two years ago. Two years ago, they came out and they were
firing. It's the same dilemma. They want
to play for the guys. It's going to be
a ball player game. I still
think the bills are going to cover this game, but I
do like the over, so I'm going to be pumping this.
Meal.
Pump, dump.
Yeah, man, Jack been coming out here with the McIntosh computer stats.
He's the one you want to tell this week.
Oh, yeah, hell yeah.
We're going to pump, pump, pump and pump.
AAA, I want to pump that as well.
I absolutely agree.
I think the Chargers play some offense this week.
I think they're just in a situation where they have absolutely nothing to lose
after putting together an abysmal game last week against the Raiders.
And I do think the bills continue to handle that ass and handle their business
throughout the end of the year.
But yes, pump this game.
Pump, pump, pump.
Browns at Texans.
Right now the points are sitting at 42 and a half.
Can Joe Flacco, who's the backup for the Texans?
Case Keenom.
Case Keenom.
Can Joe Flacco and Case Keenham make it rain for a pump situation out here in Houston?
Mule.
Jack, we'll go to you.
So a little stat.
Both of these teams combined have used seven quarterbacks this year.
And like we said, it's Joe Flacco, and it's Kenney.
Case Keenum, but only one is going to come out victorious.
I don't think it's going to be a high-powered, gunsling, and offense.
These are cardiac kids of teams, and both of them are winning on combined 12-1 possession
games this season, six each.
So I think it's going to be close, and I think it's going to be a defensive battle,
so I'm going to dump this game.
What you doing?
I do want to dump this game.
I want to dump this game.
So I'm going to dump it.
A lot of good points.
A lot of good points right there.
Go ahead.
Take the pump.
Take the pump.
I mean, they went over.
The Titans game, they went over.
They went over that game.
I'm going to take the pump.
Yeah, you are.
Mule with the pump, Jackie with the dump,
Billy with the dump.
Raiders at Chiefs right now,
Vegas at Kansas City.
The points are sitting at 41.5 points.
Cold weather game.
Raiders get out of the day.
dome where are you at
Mule
I like this game man I think it's
gonna be a high scoring game
so you're gonna pump I'm pumping
you know that pump pump and
pump or do you see
the Chief's covering minus 10
or would you go Raiders? I would go
Raiders if I was
I would go Raiders knowing that the
Chiefs probably win the game but they
the Raiders cover
lock him in for that bet
you motherfucking do
Jack
41 and a half point
You want to pump or you want to dump this game?
So I'm going to hit you with a couple more stats.
The Chiefs are 7 and 1 on unders in their past eight home games.
And they are 9 and 5 on the under this whole season.
Kansas City versus the Raiders in their last six games, their total points,
31 points, 31, 30, 38, 41, 40, at least 31 points in every game
by the Chiefs against the Raiders.
The last time they played all the Raiders.
Yes, the last six games.
Okay, I'm trying to keep up.
So at least 31 points.
Like you said, it's a cold game.
It's going to be on Christmas.
Is this Christmas Eve a Sunday game?
What did you say about the overs?
It's a Sunday game.
The Chiefs are 7 and 1 on the under in their last eight home games.
Okay, I got that one down.
And then the other one was their 9 and 5 total on the unders this season.
Okay.
So a lot of data pointing towards the unders.
And that is why I will be taking the pump on this game.
Christmas Day, I think the Raiders after just scoring a thousand points against the Chargers last week,
come in with a little bit of intensity.
They're playing December ball,
but I do think the Chiefs are going to outscore them.
My only issue, though, is it is this December game.
It's Christmas Eve,
and I'm worried that Travis Kelsey is going to be worried about
what are the plans with the SWIFs afterwards,
what are the families going to be doing?
So as long as Travis Kelsey can come out and perform,
maybe get a touchdown, I really love the over.
So I'm going to pump this game.
Yeah, that was so good, man.
This dude is killing it.
Get off your knees, brother.
Dump.
I'm going to dump this game.
I will also jump in with the mule on taking the Raiders plus 10.
Look, last time we watched this game,
Raiders were up 14, nothing.
The money line, the underdog pick of the week was looking great,
and then it turned bad.
I do think that they're hungry.
Are they in the hunt for the playoffs?
I believe so, whether that happens, I think it's very slim.
But either way, you have something to play for.
I think the Raiders, like, there's just excitement, momentum.
I'm not saying it's not there for the Chiefs,
but I think the Raiders put on a much better job.
defensive performance building off of holding the Vikings to three points when they lost three to
nothing beating the hell out of the chargers a lot of big time plays from defensive players last week
against the chargers and kind of just build your confidence and swag you saw that db just jumped
that screen in one hand in that thing and take it to the house crazy i'm taking i like the raiders
plus 10 and i also like to dump this game i think it's going to be a lower scoring game i do think
outside of last week the chiefs have struggled to put points on the board so yeah it is
going dump.
Moving on to the, what's the next second?
Underdogs, dogs, dogs, dogs.
Again, we miss Chet Savage dearly.
I hope he's getting well in Gambler's Rehab.
The underdog segment, we're taking underdogs here,
and I'm just going to draw the line in the sand.
We take an underdog who's not favored, and we're taking the money line.
We're going to take a little risk.
Risk it for the biscuit.
Risk keeps us young.
Mule, I'm going to start with you.
Where are you going this week?
I'm going with the Browns, man.
And I just like Flacco.
They got four.
Who?
Flok.
Okay.
I just said, yeah.
He's doing his thing right now.
Yeah.
Old man came out, put on his old man shoes, went out there and played with the young boys.
That's what I like to see.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And he out there looking real, real savvy out there.
He's looking real savvy.
So I'm going Brown's plus 120 money line, man.
Again, with CJ not playing, I just feel like the Texans is a struggling team.
So taking the Browns.
Maxon, were you having fun this weekend?
Where are you sprinkling?
I'm going to be taking Commander's Money Line plus 130.
It is not for any reason that the commanders are giving me hope.
It is the fact that the Jets feel like they are in complete disarray with all the quarterback
dilemmas.
They just came off a zero point score total this past week against the Dolphins.
I just think that the Jets are worse than the commanders are.
It's not that the commanders are better.
It's the Jets are going to be worse this week.
I just don't think they have it in them.
So, yeah, I'm going to take a risk in go Commander's Money Line.
That's a good pick.
They play in the Jets.
I don't have my nan.
We're going to take just a momentary break.
All right, we're back.
And you know what?
Fuck it.
We're going Raiders at Kansas City Money Line.
I'm taking the dogs again.
I'm 0 for 1 this year.
with the Raiders over the Chiefs.
But I'm going Raiders over Chiefs.
Merry fucking Christmas.
Do we have any more segments?
Holy shit.
That fires me up.
Monday night football.
Stick around.
I was going to end on the tag
of Merry fucking Christmas.
Thanks for tuning in.
But stick with this.
We're going to talk Monday night football
after we come back from this quick break.
Welcome back.
Monday night football we're going to be talking here.
We're going to be talking Ravens at Niners.
But first, the Raiders at Chiefs,
myself and the Mule, we're taking the Raiders in this game.
Jack, where do you stand on?
Raiders at Chiefs minus 10 points right now.
Scary because we talked about in the break, I feel like Patrick Mahon's been pouting
a lot.
I don't like to see that of a quarterback, especially a dude who you paid half of God's net worth
for.
But the Raiders coming off a very juicy win.
I think they have a little bit of swag about them.
I'm going to take the Raiders plus, what is it, 10 or half?
Plus 10.
I'm going to take Raiders plus 10.
I do think the Chiefs come out with the win, but I do like the Raiders with the points.
Let's pick the Raiders so far?
Yeah, Sunday school.
What's a good word?
It's 10.
Chiefs.
It was always the Chiefs.
All right, the primetime game of the week.
The Ravens at the 49ers, Baltimore, they're traveling in San Francisco.
Minus 5.5, the Niners are favored.
The point total on this game is 45 and a half, if any of you want to dare and combine a little
parlay together.
Let's start with the mule.
Where would you like to go in this game?
Ravens at Niners.
Hey, I'm going to say it's going to be tough to beat the 49ers
when they are fucking healthy.
And right now the offense is healthy.
The defense is a little banged up.
But who's banged up?
Some key guys.
Some key fucking guys, okay?
A lot of de linemen.
Yes, sir.
A lot of linebackers.
All fucking hurt.
But when you get an sure, just go Italian.
Yeah, that's all you got to do.
And I just don't think Lamar Jackson get it.
done with those guys.
I see the 49ers coming away with a Dibo Sanders, McCaffrey.
I say D'Bos, Samuels.
Brock, Brody, Dibo Sanders.
Joe Flocko.
But y'all know what time it is, man.
It's 49ers all day, baby.
Great pick.
J.P., where would you like to go in this game?
I would also like to rock with the Niners solely because Dibo Samuel is going off.
He's a game cock.
Javin Kinla, I'm not sure what his status is, injury-wise,
but he is dominant as well, and he's also a game cock.
On the other side, there is Clowny, but I'm rocking with the Niners.
Clowny?
On the Ravens.
He on the Ravens.
Damn.
South Carolina has the most top-heavy all-stars in the NFL.
I think he's been having a decent year, though, right?
With the Ravens, he's been playing pretty well.
Not his best, but he's doing all right.
Yeah, he's balling.
I mean, he's not talked about.
Jack, I'm talking about him right now.
Yes, this is Jack.
I have the NFL on the other line,
and they've got some juicy stats.
I'm going to rattle off for you.
What do you say that was?
Ravens are six and one on the road.
Yeah, okay, that's correct.
And 49ers are five and one at home.
This looks like a Super Bowl matchup potentially.
But let's keep it moving.
And you're saying Baltimore is seven and two as underdogs this season?
That that's, okay.
And then, but the 49ers are 10 in a number.
with nine double-digit wins
with Trent Williams and Debo Samuel being healthy?
Who was that, Joey Kamasta?
Yes.
He works to the NFL now.
This is a lot of contradicting stats.
A lot of really high-powered ball clubs.
But the one stat I can't get away from
is the 49ers being 10-0 when Trent Williams and Debo are healthy.
I know we've got a little bit of a lag on the defense.
But when it's in San Francisco on Christmas Day,
I'm going with the Niners, minus five and a half.
Gosh, damn.
I want to go Niners, but it scares me if all four of us are going Niners.
I know.
They do have the momentum.
Like, Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy, both of those guys are being argued for MVP right now.
Yeah.
You look at the Ravens.
They're playing tough ball in December.
49ers are, too, though.
Yeah, I know.
They both playing great December ball.
And apparently they have the best locker room, the Niners.
Oh, yeah.
I gotta go Niners.
I think we gotta make this a four-way thing.
Four by four.
Four by four.
Four.
What was that?
What was that?
What was that?
What?
I thought he said docking.
What?
I thought he was saying docking.
You know what docking is, Will?
No.
Just Google it right now.
Dude, yeah.
And type in docking photo men.
Swedish docking.
I'll just type in docking.
I'll just type in.
and docking urban.
Swedish.
Very intimate
and intense sexual act
performed by two uncircised men.
Can never do me.
How y'all know about that?
We're going to go right.
We're going to go, we're going to go niners.
We're going to go niners.
And one non-circumcised.
Are you circumcised?
It says they pull the,
it says they pull the poor skin back.
So there we go.
That's why y'all know.
Yeah, duh.
Facts.
Going niners.
Brock Brody,
Dibo Sanders, George Skittles,
We're going Niners this game.
Are we all good, boys?
Do we feel good about the week?
Do we feel good about the show?
We are undefeated.
Four by four docking.

This was Sliffs and Picks.
Thanks for joining the boys.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
I would say we are back, but technically we never left.
And so we will pick up right where we left off.
And we are getting into our team parlay.
We are going Lions minus 3 versus the Vikings to win the divisional championship this weekend in Minnesota.
Second pick, we will be taking the commanders plus three versus the Jets.
This game is not, we just mentioned it earlier in the show.
This is not about who is better.
It's about who is worse.
And I believe that the Jets are worse.
So we'll be taking commanders with some points for a little bit of a stagger.
So in case they end up winning, we can still cover.
And lastly, we are going building.
versus Chargers, a team that's peaking, and a team that has some energy now that they got a new
head coach in the building. And that recipe equals and over. We're going over 43 and a half points
in the Bills versus Chargers game. I believe, yeah, if you parlor those together, it's going to come
out to a total plus 608. It's a healthy parlay nonetheless.
Moving on to parlaying the whole board, this would be a condensed show because as you've noticed,
JP and I had to fill in for the absent chat.
He's been terrible.
They had to call on ringers.
So that's why we're just going to hit a couple quick ones,
and we're going to get out of here.
So to parlay the whole board.
Jack's bet slip is healthy.
Healthy.
All right.
Starting out, we will be all money lines.
Starting with Vue Ram's money line,
Bingles money line,
Bill's money line, lions money line,
Packers money line,
Colts money line, Texans money line,
Seahawks money line,
commanders money line bucks money line dolphins money line bears money line broncos money line
chiefs money line eagles money line and 49ers money line parlor those together they're going to get
plus 132, 397 put a dollar on it when a thousand simple as that I hope we finally hit
the parlay this week we will yeah I think we will it's Christmas this is Christmas week my birthday is
Christmas everybody put happy birthday in the comments happy birthday J.P
Big.
Yeah, you can set it up for our final segment of the day.
Final segment of the day, second and the last segment of this year.
We are doing the rock'em-sock them, pick-em-boppers.
And the game is the Jags versus the Bucks, the Battle of Florida, as we like to say.
And of course, yes, you guessed it.
Jags will be blue, bucks will be red.
Yeah, good luck.
Good luck.
All right.
I like that.
That's where I rode in the show.
So we're going Buccaneers.
Tough for me, but if I could switch my pick earlier in the show,
I would like to ride with the bucks now.
Here we go.
Trust the Data.
Thank you guys again.
Everyone drop, happy birthday, JP in the chat.
And Merry Christmas and I guess happy New Year,
but we'll probably see you guys before then.
Cue the outro music.
