Starting point is 00:00:20 What's happening? Super Bowl champ, Luke Wilson. Brought the ring out today, baby, but the winner and the loser, but we're out today. We're a business. Well, I didn't know this. But you get a ring for an NFC championship. So when we won the first year, it comes this big thing. It's like we had a private party.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Usher was singing at it. Paul Allen set it up at one of his, it's kind of a museum. It was called the Experienced Music Project back in the day. I think they called Mo Pop. Really cool night. Next year was like, showed up one day. I'm like, what's in my locker from Tiffany and company? It's the mini one for the NFC Champions.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Okay, but no usher, no party for that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no party. Yeah, you're not getting that. Well, listen, they look good. man. Yeah. Look good. I mean, we're locked in right now.
Starting point is 00:01:02 We got to go. We've had extensive meetings. We've talked about it. We're ready to roll. You guys feel like you're ready? Now, you don't know exactly what's coming, right? Because we haven't made picks in a couple of weeks, but the same routine is going to remain consistent here.
Starting point is 00:01:15 We get to pick, if we're either doing the spread or the total. Yes. And then we get to pick which prop we want. We're doing a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end. And then an extra prop that is, you know, basically a yes or no prop. Anthem length, heads or tails, all that kind of stuff. And our partner, Al's brother, was extremely dialed in this morning. Yes, he was. A lot of tremendous information.
Starting point is 00:01:41 They were also picking Teddy Bruske's brain yesterday. Wow, we're at. They got a ringer in, huh? We had dinner with Teddy Bruske last night. I don't know what else to say. Teddy Brucey hates their guts, too. Now, they've always just got it. Al Roker and Teddy Bruske. This guy's been blacklisted from home. Just tell me one thing. I know you guys had Devin Hester on before. Tell me he doesn't
Starting point is 00:02:06 hate your guts. No, I think we made a very good impression on that. He wouldn't remember, but in 2016, we needed a spark going on the playoffs, so we signed him in Seattle. I think it was the last season he played. And I think he played two, maybe three games for us. I remember being, like, I was on our kickoff return team, and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:02:24 yo, Devin Hester's here? The goat? Like, and he, against It was the year Atlanta blew the Super Bowl, but we went to Atlanta in the divisional round, and it was like, yo, like, we got Devin Hester. Like, he can break what. I think he had, like, you never scored me. He had like two or three, like 50 plus kickoff returns. I'm like, this guy is a machine, dude.
Starting point is 00:02:45 The best, the greatest of all the time. Not even close. It was pretty like, again, he was only there for three, four weeks, but it was like, for me, one of those moments where I'm like, I played with Devin Hester. That's amazing. That's pretty cool. Dude, gorgeous Hall of Fame jacket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Gorgeous. I would never take that off. Every night for dinner, I would just go somewhere with that. I think gold is a really quality choice. Yeah. It's a statement. It's a statement. It's a statement. Yeah. We're talking pro football Hall of Fame. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Right? But yeah, he was great, man. We had a blast with him. He took one of the house on the first kick of the Super Bowl. I remember being a kid watching that. It's in my base. And Peyton Manning versus Brian Erlock. That's right. That's when Peyton got one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Not in Indianapolis. And the weather got ugly in that game. And we were asking about that because when, like, the kickoff, it was clear. That was in Miami, I believe it was. But this Sunday, it's unpredictable. You know, when you get an open air stadium, like, it might rain. It might be windy. It might be cold.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. Like, it's not going to be like yours in New York. When you beat Denver, it was cold. It was New York. Why I don't know about that was, you know, we were sitting there thinking, hey, could be a blizzard, could be this, could be that. It was like game day came. and it actually was quite nice
Starting point is 00:03:54 I mean the adrenaline's going but I remember being like wow it's a lovely evening in New York and then the next morning I think there was like a blizzard that came through and delayed all the flights has it gone to a cold place since then?
Starting point is 00:04:05 No because I think since New York the rumors I had heard was like it would have been so detrimental to like the product if we have a cold weather Super Bowl like they don't want as much as the Denver New England game was kind of fun for a football fan
Starting point is 00:04:20 they don't want like high-flying quarterbacks in a 13 to, you know, seven game. Right. Because of a blizzard. Why would you, though? If a blizzard hits, you can't. Yes. Why would you?
Starting point is 00:04:33 Like, you've got the opportunity to put it anywhere. Why would you put it in a cold weather climate? Totally. It's all because you built the new stadium and the, like, that's what we were talking about last week. There's basically 32 guys who run the league. There are. There's 32 guys who run the league.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And if, you know, the Mara family or the Tish family, and I don't think he's getting much. He's not doing much right now. He's lying very low right now. He's probably in a different world right now. But if they say, hey, we're building a new stadium in conjunction with the Jets, too. And they say, we want a Super Bowl. They're getting a Super Bowl and they got one.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Like Indianapolis got one because they built Lucas Oil. Right? And Detroit got one because they built Ford Field. They're not going back there. No. But you build the field. If it's a dome in Detroit, Indianapolis will come the one time. Like, I think they're building a new one in now.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Asheville for the Titans, and I think they'll go there. They'll have on there for sales. But they're not going to Buffalo because it's not a dome. Yeah, exactly. Buffalo is maybe not a big enough market. But it would be interesting if they built a dome stadium would they have a Super Bowl in Buffalo? Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah, I also think Buffalo is a bit of a hard sell city-wise. Right. Hotels, convention centers. You've got to really, I mean, you guys are seeing it here. and this is probably the slowest Super Bowl been to, not because I don't think there's people here, but just because it's so spread out. You know, Seattle's San in San Jose,
Starting point is 00:06:00 the games in Santa Clara, a lot of the corporate stuff in San Francisco. Vegas, a couple years ago, it was like 30 minutes to get an Uber. Like, I've never seen so many people in one area ever in my life. Right. So there's a crazy amount of influx that your city needs to be able to support.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I couldn't get an Uber last night. I had to ride one of those scooters home. No way. You were riding a scooter home? 1.30 in the morning. I was white knuckling it. I had one of those bird scooters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's a bird scooter. I was like... Have you done the Waymos, the robot cars? I'm not doing those, yeah. You're not doing them? Not doing it. I'm a people person. I have a Tesla.
Starting point is 00:06:38 My car drives me. I think that's the industry. I think that's loose. Bodog? Are you kidding? I've been in them all week. I think it's the coolest thing ever. No, I'm not doing it.
Starting point is 00:06:47 but I'll tell you I probably shouldn't have been on the birds. I'll tell you what, some of these guys, like you'll see people absolutely motoring through the streets in a scooter. Yeah. Like flying down in danger. I saw a guy on the cycle, the one tire, just like this, like just going 100 miles an hour and leaning forward. I'm like, no bucket, nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I'm like, if anything goes wrong, you're so gone. You're so gone. That's the trippy one is the no bucket. Yes. You know? No, but. Like they've light turned green and it just looks like this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I'll tell you what I always find strange as well, especially a city like this. And I got to tip my gap to San Francisco here. I think they've done a great job. They've done a great job. Every time I've gone to one of these, which has been a lot now, I think there's a general cleaning up of the city where like you can't clean up San Francisco. You can try. I'm walking around.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I'm like, you're asking a lot. There's some elements. There's a guy outside of our hotel. I've seen him every morning. He's up to no good. He's up to no good? Yeah. And I'm like, is he going to be there tomorrow morning or they might have carried him away?
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah. But he's been there every morning. And I worry about the guys riding around. It's like, you know, some people are just wandering. There's a lot of wanderers in the city. You get bumped and you're going down. Well, that's the thing. If you're on a scooter and your blitz, too.
Starting point is 00:08:09 I take noodles and the birds. Someone's jaywalking and a new. I was very safe. I was moving at it. Yeah, you got to be careful, man. There's some inner. interesting poses on the street corners, like guys just playing Twister. It's a wild scene.
Starting point is 00:08:24 But I think for the most part, they've done a pretty good job. It's a cool city. There's a lot of culture here. There's a lot of art. There's a lot of, like, the restaurants have been great. They've done a good job. And they're in L.A. next year. So I guess we'll see, you know, what comes of it as we move into the future.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But Luke's with us. We'll get to Dall's brother in a minute. I'm going to tell you this. Yes. so that you can actually give some analysis. You guys are going to be picking the spread. All right. So we'll get to that in a moment.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'm just going to reveal right now. We're going to be taking the total. Where's your head out here? So you can be free to answer the question how you actually feel about this game. I'm with you. I wasn't lying. I think Seattle wins, but I like this very tight. I like it.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I'm really happy that we get the spread. You're not lying? I'm not lying. I didn't want to pick the total. the total scares me more than the spread. Why? Because I hate betting unders and I probably would I probably would take the under but I can't do it. It's the worst sweat of all time. It's the worst.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It's the worst because like if the first two drives, if Devin Hester takes it to the house immediately, like we're done. Shaheed, Shaheed hits when you're like we're cooked. Immediately total's over. If it's like 21, 21 at the half, you're like, we're done. There's no way. And it's the worst having to grind through that in the second half. And the number's low enough where it's also like, oh, you could be at the half. and you're like, oh, it's 10-7, like only 17 points.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And then all of a sudden it's like, touch on, touch on, touch on. You're like, and I'm caught. And you're dope. And when you're talking about that, isn't that evidence to yourself that you made the wrong selection? No, it's not. It's that it's the more entertaining play is always betting the over. Because you're always alive. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Right? Like you can be dead on an under in the second quarter. Yeah. Yes. You're always alive. Even if it's 6-6, it could end up 3128. Right, because all hell can break. Because all hell can break loose.
Starting point is 00:10:15 The under, you're banking on all hell. I cannot believe you're giving me the spread. We're getting to the spread. Why don't we bring it out of his brother? Is he ready? Is he still getting in? There he is. How's brother?
Starting point is 00:10:32 Welcome to the Super Bowl. Welcome to the Super Bowl. I made it. I made it, boys. I can retire and have my gentleman. I'm going to tell my children that I was at Super Bowl 60, just so everyone knows. That was a part of the festival.
Starting point is 00:10:46 We love it, man. amazing. We love seeing you, pal. We've been doing the whole group chat thing because we've got a lot of picks to get to here. But give us here, before we actually run through exactly what we're doing, I did just reveal sure you heard it that we are going to be bet in the total, they're going to be betting the spread, we'll get to this in a moment. But where's your head at as we're about 48 hours away from kickoff?
Starting point is 00:11:09 I think it's to be a great game, and it is a very tough spread to pick. It's interesting, though, like you follow the money in You're seeing Seattle 70% of the vets have been in on Seattle But the number hasn't moved Which means a lot of big money coming in on New England So it's going to be interesting how it goes I for one do see the Seattle Seahawks
Starting point is 00:11:29 Covering the number So I'm thankful that Luke decided to go with his Patriots Because he's a fraud after all How he went against the Seahawks is beyond me But I see Seattle winning a game I think it'll be a good game But I think Seattle wins it And hopefully by a touchdown or so
Starting point is 00:11:44 well and that feeds into you know you're asking for an explanation on why we're not playing the spread so wait wait wait wait Al's brother went over the top on you because you want the pads on the price I like the pads and the points and I've been saying what a coward consistently what it is what a coward but I'm okay with it these two are aligned and the guy there is he's trying to jam them up I really
Starting point is 00:12:04 I haven't heard much out of you in terms of where you lean with the because he leaves he wants to be on our team dying I'm picking up on that there's a turn quaint there's like a Benedict Arnold move that you're about to pull off. No. When you two are going at it with your thoughts and theories, my little pigeon tidbits have no meaning to you guys.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I've dealt with it for the last three months. You guys are like, okay, thanks. We're not doing that anyway. So I just sit back and listen. Well, you're a big part of the team. I don't want you to think otherwise. I have a big part of the team. I got an Al's bro, I would like to, I'm getting the vibe here, especially because we all know Al's Bros. Never won a championship.
Starting point is 00:12:42 guys in anything he hasn't won a championship this is was supposed to be his moment after the great season he's been terrible in the playoffs fair well I mean we've been hey's you're about you're putting him on an island right now so you're let him go over the top of your head
Starting point is 00:12:58 it's listen the reality is we're a dynasty else brother right we just put together the greatest regular season of all the regular season of all time that's on the president's trophy well still man you get a ring right else brother go ahead oh you know That's a consolation ring.
Starting point is 00:13:15 That's what it is. Apparently you get the ring no matter what, according to Luke. But I'll tell you what, here's the thing. It's not that we somewhat differed on the spread. I think we're all just aligned on the total. I think you look at this game, and everyone believes that the total kind of screams under. So I think all three of us are definitely in alignment
Starting point is 00:13:34 that this one is going to go under the number. We're going to see a low-scoring game. You've got two elite defenses. The Seattle Seahawks, the number one scoring defense all season long. the Patriots, the number one scoring defense, all playoffs. They got two head coaches who eat, breathe football, eat, breathe defense. So I think that's more so why we decided to give you the spread. It's more of a toss-up where I think the total taking the under, more of the slam dunk play.
Starting point is 00:13:59 All right, so the total is 45 and a half. We're on the under. We're playing the under here. We have the stones to take the under. Listen, I've got a ring on my finger from losing to this organization. on the last play on the one yard line where I was on the field and we, because it's about us, have discussed this and we are taking New England. So you're taking the points.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Four and a half. Ask your agent if you are sure about that. Hey, my guy, we're going to win this thing. I just, I think, I think it's close. I think it's close. This guy's the most favorite Seahawks, 12 love blue. Everybody loves it. We have a crazy Seattle Seahawks super fan who's standing.
Starting point is 00:14:42 over their house mother and getting in water. Everyone back home, he's just yelling at Luke Wilson. And it's great to see him. I'm for his age at. That's Luke Wilson come great. You guys. Two biggest frauds in football right now. No, I'm pulling for, I just think it's, listen, last 10 times, you're a big history guy. It seems to play 10 times come down on last play all 10.
Starting point is 00:15:03 That's right. Listen, I hear you. I would take the pads. Four and a half, Super Bowl? But now I'm rooting for the Seahawks, 2317. That would jam us. That's an under and a cover, and then all of a sudden, that's four points. We've got to confirm this.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Everyone knows. The spreads were two, the totals were two. All right, so that's where we're at. Okay, let's get to some props. Alex, brother, let's begin with the quarterback props. Drake May over under 221.5 total yards, or Sam Darnold, 229 and a half passing yards. Who are we taking and why?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yeah, I want to take the over with Sam Darnold. If we think that Seattle's going to win this game, I think it's going to have to be by passing the football. It's an elite run defense that they have in New England. So if it's going to be the Seahawks, they're going to have to win in the air. And they've got the offensive player of the year, Jackson Smith and Jigba out there. They're just going to continue to feed him the football. It's just a really good parlay there with those two. So if this one's going to be a Seattle victory, I think those two have to be on the same page.
Starting point is 00:16:05 So I'm going to go over 229 and a half passing yards. Darnold's average to 35 this season, so his average is above that anyway. Yeah, love it. So we're locking in over Sam Darnel. That means you guys are on Drake May. You're taking the over? We're taking the over. I'll explain why. You're
Starting point is 00:16:22 a bit shocked on this. Yes, we actually are quite fond. You're blaming the cold weather in the last couple of years. No, No, No, I talked to this. I said, listen, one of the most, the stats that's not being talked about enough. Seattle's defense this year is number one in the league when it comes to giving up yards per carry. 3.7. Number one,
Starting point is 00:16:38 This team with Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams in the inside Dominates up front part of the reason they're allowed to do this whole two-shell D-d-d-d-dine different D-Bs coming in is because the D-line is dominant against the run DeMarcus Lawrence, number one rush defensive guy on the end right now We talked about it like if Drake May wants to do anything here Or the New England Patriots even running the football a lot of it can be screens of the outside So 220 I expect them to lose it might be a sweat late But hey, we're chasing a couple checkdowns.
Starting point is 00:17:10 He'll end with 228. Point for us. Over the number. All right. You guys are on Drake May over the number. Let's move on to the running backs here. I'm with you, Alice, brother. I love where we're at right now.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I think we take the total. We take the spread. We're up two nothing right now on the props. We're in the lead right now. We're literally in the lead. Congratulations. This isn't humble. Stay humble.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Stay humble. This is, oh, an Al's brother now, too, they're not humble. They're not humble. We have stormback and we're up two points at this point, because each prop is worth one point. All right, running backs here. Kenneth Walker, the third, over under, 72.5, total yards rushing, or Ramandre Stevenson, 49.5, total yards rushing.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Al's brother, who are we taking, and are we on the over or the under? Go ahead. Yeah, well, let's stick with the game script where the Seahawks are going to win. It's got to be in the air, which means Kenneth Walker, I don't see him going over his total of 72. and a half. I think they're going to pass the ball a lot more. The Patriots have only allowed an average of, what, 71 yards per game to running backs this year, and they've been dominant in the postseason. They've allowed less than 40 yards to running backs on average over these last three playoff
Starting point is 00:18:18 game. So, yeah, I think under 72 and a half rushing yards for Kenny Walker's to play. Yeah, I think that's the point. That number's coming down. I think it opened at like 75.5 or something. Yeah, I've seen it as low as 71. Bando's got 7.1. We'll lock it in 72 and a half right now on Fandole. We love that. So we're taking Kenneth Walker the third under again. We're expecting Donald to throw. We'll get to the wide-out props in a moment.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You'll see where our heads are at. I think you can probably figure it out by now. But that means you guys are on Stevenson, 49 and a half rushing guards, over or under. This is a situation. You want to talk about situational football. We're now in situational gambling territory. So Noodles, I'm going to need your help on this. Sure, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I think this is a great line. This is the one I did not want to pick. Because I don't think, as I just said, he's going to run the ball very well. I don't think the Patriots run the ball very well. But 49 and a half is a low number. You've got to go over, man. Well, I want to go over because I think, despite the garbage, the diarrhea that just came out of that camp, we have a four-point lead. I think that we go over here to save us.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Like, if Drake May goes under, we head-in-your-hedge. You're hedging. Your own profit? Well, we actually ran it. You're hedging your prop. You got to edge it. We're here to win. We're protecting a lead.
Starting point is 00:19:37 That's where we're running. I think we protect the lead. Yeah. Mike Grable-Syle. Okay. Okay. You're on the over? Over again.
Starting point is 00:19:43 And like you said, Brian, when you take the over, you're always in it. Yeah, you're always alive. That's true. Now, this is another sweat for us. This won't hit early. He could break loose in the fourth quarter, though. Like one big run, and it's basically. And we're right there.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Yeah. Okay. You guys are a lot of overs so far. Yeah, that's as much a head scratcher's not giving the ball to Marshawn. That's just as brutal. Not going to fly on that point. This guy, you disgusts me. This guy, he's just not humble.
Starting point is 00:20:13 He's not humble. He's not humble. Again, again, I was, brother. You are yet to win a championship, man. And you gave us two points. We need four. They gave us two points. We're fine.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Let's move on to the wide receivers. JSN over under 93.5 total yards receiving, or Stefan Diggs, 44.5 receiving yards. Who are we taken, and what's the pick? Yeah, I mean, we got to essentially sweep the props here, and the only way to do that is to parlay. Donald's over with JSN's over. I think it's hard to believe that both of those guys don't go over. For us. For us.
Starting point is 00:20:52 It has to be it, right? Got to be it. He's averaging over 100 yards a game. Look at what he did against the, you know, the Rams just absolutely took over that game. And it's going to be interesting. I mean, he's taking on Christian Gonzalez, but if they go one-on-one,
Starting point is 00:21:06 I did see that JSN receiving against single coverage, most catches this year, most yards this year, seconded touchdowns, and had more yards per outrun than anyone else in football. They're going to move him around, and they're going to make it a little bit interesting. I think JSN goes over the 93.5 total. Lack of ball knowledge.
Starting point is 00:21:26 That's a huge, That's a huge... It's a very... Go route away from blowing past this in the first quarter. This is how you just... When he's talking right there, I'm like, he does not understand. You think Brable's going to just take him away? That's Bill Belichick every...
Starting point is 00:21:40 And this is Brable's from that tree. He goes in, and this is the same way Patricia coach in Detroit. First day, he would walk in there and go, here's their best player. If they're going to beat us, anyone but him. We're going to do this to him. We're going to jam him. We're going to bracket him. We're going to do...
Starting point is 00:21:54 And I don't think you'll catch the ball, but... Rabel is going to sit there and be... like boys. That guy's not beating us. If Cooper Cup beats us, so be it. We are not letting JSM beat us. This was another layup. You guys... No, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:22:07 It was a layup. They're going to stop the run. You don't think McVeigh thought the same thing? We're not going to let him beat us. What happened? Went for $1.55. Crunchdown. Like what...
Starting point is 00:22:17 Great counter parts. It's the officer. It's the player of the year. Again, great counter. This man just countered a Bill Belichick disciple with Sean McVeigh. You're talking about Pluto and the Sun. Like, dude, in the football terms, I don't even know. How's brother, Belichick?
Starting point is 00:22:35 What's the difference? If there's, like, two rival coaches, it couldn't be more polar opposite. Sean McVeyey and Bill Belichick slash Vrabel or, like, I can't even respond to this. Listen, the truth is, J.S.N is a different beast. You've said this year you think he's the best wide out in the least. He is. He is. Which is why they're going to be like, do everything to stop them.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You try to shut him down. but we're on it, man, and we're going to keep that. We like the energy. And you're on the under. Like, these bets don't make sense. It's, you're on our energy. You could tell he wants to jump. He's close.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I love our process. You wore our process. I love our arms. I hope so. I got to, I got a fear that something's coming with this guy. I'm Marty Janetti. You're going to Sean Michaels me right here.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I'm just going to take a kid. Oh, man. Right through some glass. All right, tight ends. This is where we cook. because no one knows tight ends like us. Nobody knows tight ends like us. This is when we cook.
Starting point is 00:23:33 We are a tight end company. Yes, this is where we make our bones. At the tight end position. Alice, brother, you're a legend here. All right, Hunter Henry, 39.5. Receiving yards. A.J. Barner, 24 and a half receiving yards. Who are we taking?
Starting point is 00:23:50 And what's the pick? Yeah. Hunter Henry, over the total. 39.5 receiving yards. He's average 45 yards game this season. And with this offensive line, Drake May, I think, is going to be trying to get the ball out point quickly, and that's his safety blanket.
Starting point is 00:24:06 It's a good matchup for him. So you're looking to the Seahawks. They've been beat up by tight ends all season long. They've averaged 63 yards against the six most in the NFL. They gave up 59 to Tanges earlier in the playoffs, the divisional round, 62 yards of Parkinson last week in the NFC championship game. So can he get over 39-5, 40 yards for their number two, Target? Yeah, I think so. Over on Hunter Henry's 39 to half.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. I mean, he's a good player, man. I like Henry. Yes. And I, again, I'm just being honest, I would have taken it. I will say where you guys might get jammed is if they're using them, which they have in the playoffs to chip and help Will Campbell. Because that offensive line is a concern. So that's part of where you might get concerned. Also, you got to remember Seattle plays a ton of nickel and a ton of dime in how healthy Eam and Warry is. because now you theoretically got a DB guarding a tight end, which is not necessarily the matchup you're looking for for Josh McDaniels. But we'll see how healthy he is. But I probably would have taken the over,
Starting point is 00:25:07 but I don't know if I'd feel super comfy about that. You gave us the layup of the year with Barner. You think 24 and a half over? Over. I just told you they're going to take away JSN. Who are they throwing who next? Well, I mean, you guys gave us. Let me understand you guys actually discussed, like,
Starting point is 00:25:23 the monks of three of you. And this is the route you guys went with us. We've been on it. I take that back. I take it back. We've been on it for weeks. His face says it all. Negative.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I'm on board with all of this. And I like where our heads are at. I really like where we're at. It's not. All right. So the picks are in. Now we've got to get to our last prop, which is basically a yes or no prop.
Starting point is 00:25:43 You know, so anthem length, coin flip, maybe total turnovers in the game over under. And it can't be something ridiculous. Like, will there be a safety? No, because that's minus 8,000. Obviously, it's got to be something within minus 110, minus 115. Alice, brother, you have tremendous information on the prop we're about to play, and we love where our heads are at.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Go ahead. Yeah, let's go with the anthem. So right off the bat, we can get ourselves a point here with the anthem. I'm going to go under the total, which is at 1.19 and a half seconds. There was a video that surfaced of Charlie Puth doing a little keyboard rendition of the anthem recently. He did it in 72 seconds. That was without vocals, I will say. So you can't totally base it on that.
Starting point is 00:26:30 However, he recently did an interview and mentioned that he wanted to emulate Whitney Houston in his upcoming performance at the Super Bowl. And Whitney Houston did it one time, and she was under that number. 117.5 seconds was Whitney Houston. So I think if he's going to emulate it, I think it leans under, a little bit of a quicker one. So I'm going to roll with the under on Charlie Poof. I love it. We're going to be sweating that, but if we hit the anthem right off the bat, it is over. Like that means all of a sudden everything starts moving down. How many? 119.1.19.5.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Two minutes. We're on the under. Under two minutes is the answer. Basically under two minutes. But what if he emulates like Chris Stapleton? That was a slow one. It's possible. That would be a trouble for us. I wonder to like when do they start it? Is it start when like the first team is play or the first? First notes. First music. He'll have the organ. Duggy better beyond this to make sure everything's all good.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I like that. Okay, do you guys have a prop you want to play? You can go anywhere. Coin flip? Yeah, let's do it. Are you good at coin flips? I'm elite. I'm going to you then.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I'm going to, I'm going to you. We're on heads or tails? Heads. Yes. Wow. They're on heads. Brutal. That worries me a little.
Starting point is 00:27:45 No, I love it. That worries me a little bit. I'm not going to lie. Because the flip of destiny, obviously, you got it. Exactly. You can see it. Are you on heads or tails? actually 48% of the boats are only on heads.
Starting point is 00:27:56 That means tails is coming in hot. I'm on heads. I've got to be honest. I made my pick for the flip of destiny on the Fandrel Sportsbook app. I'm on heads. What are you on? Tails. All right, well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I need that kind of energy. Tails, tails. And you're obviously filling heads. Okay, lock it in there, noodles. I'm going to be at the stadium. I just want to point this picture. I'll probably be sitting next to Farhan Lalsie in the little, like, press area. And I'm going to have my phone out when that anthem gets
Starting point is 00:28:23 played and I'm going to be sitting there just sweating like drag that note now buddy okay the problem is what what worries me is Charlie he he controls the length of it yes he's a boy and he knows the action that's coming in is going to go drag it out of it but yeah dude I got you two to 10 quickly because we didn't get your step on digs prop oh sorry you got to get digs in 44 440 over over over over excuse me I was digs over okay so you guys run the over there all All the picks are established. If this thing comes up tails and this guy motors through the anthem, we are chugging towards the championship. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Like, the ball may not be in the air yet, and it's 8-6. Now, it also could be 10-6, and that's trouble. 10-4. Yeah, 8-6 is still fine. I'm just saying, because 8-4 right now, if we win the first two props, it's 8-6. If we win the first two props, if you win the first two, it's 10-4, and we're in huge trouble. We're in massive trouble. And that's even before the ball gets kicked off.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Okay. Picks are in, everything's locked in. You can find everything online, obviously. Are we going to get our hats? Wherever you find us. Alice Brother, absolute pleasure to have you. It's a big part of the Super Bowl. Great to see you, buddy.
