Against the Spray Against the Spread is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Roy, take it away. All right, we got Yankees at Astros tonight. The Yankees have won eight out of the last nine games. They have covered the run line in Houston. the last nine in the last nine games against the Astros in Houston, and they are 54 and 33 against the spread on the road after playing the previous day. So go with the Yankees.

They are the favorite tonight. Run a half against the spread. All right. The NFL dance starts tomorrow. Did you know that? You finally. Finally figured it out. We got Thursday night football of the raining champs.

Philadelphia Eagles are playing against the Dallas Cowboys. Again, it's at Philly, but eight and a half is the spread. Dallas is going to be a better team this year than we're last year. Obviously, they didn't have Dak for a bunch. But I think eight and a half points early, the first game of the season is way too many points. I think the Cowboys offense is going to be a lot better than it was last year. Added George Pickens. They don't really have a running game.

Dak Presto is going to throw about 67 times with Brian Schottenheimer. Give me the eight and a half with the Cowboys. They're not going to win, but they're going to cover, Dano, just like great teams do. I guess it's right. One of the things that I didn't mention in all of the Micah Parsons talk that we did and why it is that Dallas did the inexplicable thing. You guys want to guess how many years, Dak Prescott has been in the league? Anybody?

Anybody want to guess how many years? Four, nine. Ten. No, nine. Rookie year. Ten years. He's been in the league. You were close, Chris.

He's not going to get any better. And they've got two teams at the top of the division who've got young quarterbacks who are with reps going to get better. That's part of the problem that they're facing in Dallas. He's pretty good right now. But he's not going to get any better, and the guys that are ahead of him in the division,

but behind him in age are going to get better. Jack Prescott is past his prime. And he makes a lot more money than those quarters. That's right. That's the other thing. I don't even mean it as an insult. I just mean it's a problem that Dallas has. He can have a career year this year, though. This could be

the year with George Pickens, with C.D. Lam J. Jake Ferguson, again, lack of a running game. Like, he could be throwing the ball 500 times a game. And it's also going to be 25 interceptions if he's doing that. That kind of thing. Jujer, let's get to some of the stuff we had on the show today. What were your thoughts on what Nick Wright had to say about Tyreek Hill? Yes, sir, man.

Thank y'all for having me. I got to remind people that, you know what I mean? Tyree, that's my cousin. So a lot of this stuff be hitting me certain ways. But I agree with Nick Wright, man. it goes for like relationships where the friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, and wife. But if you're going to forgive somebody,

you got to forgive him. If you chose to bring this man back, then hey, man, this is a brand new year. We can't still be referring back to whenever we did your wrong. You say you forgive me. Now, treat me as the human being that I am, you feel me?

So I agree with brother Nick on that issue. What cousin is he of yours? How distant? How close? It's just down the line. Yeah, it's not semantics. Okay. Moving on.

It's down the street around the corner. Cuban cousins, Dan. I felt like we didn't get, we got a good and healthy amount of Greg Cody during the first three hours of the show. But he disappeared there during the Nick Wright episode. Yeah, what happened? And any time that Greg Cody is around, we want to maximize Greg Cody. What did you think of Greg Cody's performance today, Juju? Yes, sir.

The real DB. L1 from YouTube today says, I now understand why Juju was such a huge Greg fan. Where is my tattoo artists? And I agree, bro. Today, Greg Cody, you are on a row magnificent. I would pay to listen to an entire podcast of baby Greg Cody. Just dust up, whatever you do, bro.

Hearing that voice was so amazing. I think I would pay for that, bro. That was Greg? Thank you. Thank you very much. What kind of thing? He is. Yeah.

What were your thoughts about Pablo's appearance on the show? Pablo joining us from the Harvard Club to have the big story in sports that Nick Wright says he won't talk about on his show today. Right. I think that Pablo has reached a certain status and he has bothered a specific type of person that we can no longer say his whereabouts live on air. Like we got to protect, my boy. He got some powerful. for people that he rubbing elbows with these days. And so I think we should stay away from letting folks know exactly where to find Pablo

if we can. Jude, to that point when, so we got an email, company-wide email, like, hey, this is what the story's going to be. And I woke up at like five in the morning. Baby was crying. So put her back to sleep finally. And I look at the story. And then I keep reading and I'm like, okay, Kauai Leonard, you know, circumvent the cab.

I'm like, they're going to kill him one day. Respectfully, respectfully, respectfully. Respectfully, but they're going to kill him. It'll be a respectful murder. I mean, it's like, he's asking for it. At this point, Dan, like, you got to do something or you're an accessory, you know? Wow. That show doesn't cost enough.

You need me to buy $1,000 a day worth of security for him like we did when we were at the Clevelander after leaving ESPN? He should at least be holding a piece when he's walking around. Can't do that. Just wait to the next episode. So you want Pablo Tori strapped? Has he ever been? What a great spinoff series. Let's keep working on that Pablo imaging.

We need to do a little bit better for when a Pablo drops, okay? When he drops a Pablo. On the back of my neck. Again, a reminder to the audience. 3.30 in the afternoon today, Eastern. Pablo will be advancing this story with Amin, Samson, and others on YouTube. If he's still with us. If no one harms him because I haven't hired security or enough security in time.

Yes. Also, one of the things that Pablo reminded me of with this story of just how heavy-handed sometimes these owners could be. It's a quote from Dominique Foxworth. He tweeted this about a month and a half, two months ago about the CBA. He said, one of the things I've learned from CBA negotiations is they aren't smarter than us. I think we sometimes are victims of having this belief that because these people have made it to the top of their profession, that they are as good as what they're, at what they do as we are at what we do. They aren't.

And so I think this is a great reminder to what my boy, Dominique said. He went on a little bit more about the CBA. But yeah, bro, Steve Bomber, all these folk, Jerry Jones, man, they're just like us making these decisions. And sometimes fall straight on their face. He said, he actually said that he had that realization while negotiating with Jerry Jones, the realization, this person's not actually smarter than I am. Why did I think this person was smarter than I am?

Right. Also, a salute to the fans of the show today. I'm going to stay on this topic right now just because I never have a chance to do this. Casey Braun, also Ryan Gully Blant Brancher from Twitter, they always send me great jerseys. You feel me? Since I got my jersey stolen in the airport. But a brother named Gabe Renizo, salute to whoever you are. he sent me a quality
