The number is called the story of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Kill I like Xander gone V sent back on the numbers game hour number two. Right here at V sent these sports betting network V sent dot com game plus I hard radio YouTube TV and of course series sets of channel 158 Kill I like Xander Kelly Midland still to come. Drew Dinsick standing by Jeff Erickson will join us Kelly may have a NBA win total to share with us. I do. Paul Car how about that's mid week champions league coming up as well. Plus we just talked about Indiana being historically just this amazing in terms of American sports at a hundred to one pre flop only the greatest show on turf Rams pre flop were longer odds to win the title in North American sports. But I reference Lester city who won the Prama I think it was 2015 I believe it was Paul car was at ESPN at that time. And he has some pretty interesting insight into that period of time how he had to explain
to the ESP to his ESPN cohorts this pre legalization of gambling right what exactly that meant at the time at 5,000 what books won't put out those numbers any 2015 16 2016 2015 2016 so it was right before V sent basically right nothing will ever be quite like that. But when a little later on says we're talking about tennis earlier let's do a little stage of elimination comps yeah, I think the ones I put together nobody got eliminated yesterday nobody got a lot of guys we'll do some matchups to check the sport again absolutely did not that's right. The Australian open ladies gentlemen he joins us to talk NBA NFL I don't know maybe some winter Olympics who knows what's going to come out of his mouth maybe some wine Drew Dinsick at well underscore capper the host of not one but two podcasts that he died with Drew Dinsick and Andy Molotor and NBC sports bet the edge with Jay Croucher and Drew Dinsick maybe not in that order maybe it's Drew and Jay how you doing Drew good morning. I'm doing well how you guess do very well I you know the first thing I want to ask you is you famously come on here after the Dodgers win the World Series and you say yeah guys
you know I get a five to one on the Dodgers I roll to the bar once they win the World Series I bragged everybody do you do something similar in college football I know it's not your like main sport but do you get involved at all yeah and a little disappointed that the Hurricanes weren't able to last night because I was ready to come on the show and and declare that Duke football was the rightful national champions as the champions of the ACC that were not invited that's right into the tournament. If the third best team in the ACC had won the national title you believe I had the paperwork already already filled out to claim this national title on behalf of Duke football who of course won the sunbowl in spectacular fashion we went on we went to the sunbowl and we beat the sun devils I mean to come up with a more impressive bowl I can't I love that they gave you paperwork though that's the best part I know yeah to fill that out every fan that's the fill that every guy who attended the school it's right well not everybody they attended school but some someone with authority needs to claim it right there's no you know
you know like how they some of these schools have national title claims for like the 1898 you know national title and stuff like that well right you know you got to fill out the paperwork or else it's not valid and then when they take it away from your violation they take the paper away I take it right it's actually they put a giant red stamp on it it's very embarrassing all right well I'm sorry I didn't I'm sorry the the hurricanes didn't cooperate so that you could come on the show and talk about that that way but there it is once again we talked about earlier other than that though yeah no skin for me in the minor league football championship mine let's talk about the major let's talk about the majors then for a second everyone how did your divisional round go did the uh did your why magic carpet ride of betting in the NFL continue individual round yeah I did winning weekend uh I had Broncos which was gift uh I had Seahawks which was hilarious that one was that one I got so you know that one uh closed bad uh and I was a little nervous
going into that game and then by halftime I was just by halftime how about after the first play of the game first play of the game I was like oh I guess we're I'm even up now and uh yeah it's just just just win from here um but yeah that one was great uh patriots and the over for me on Sunday morning was awesome uh that Kishan booty touchdown took me over and really kind of clinched the patriots cover for me and I was just running around like a maniac excited because that was such a good such a good play such a good catch what a catch um and then uh I had I laid Rams that was my loser um if boy was it close though if that fourth down touchdown doesn't get converted with what I said and then I'm really then I'm just absolutely laughing four four on sides you know what I had had myself a little party but um ultimately the Rams come through that's my entire futures book so that was a relief um and that game was entertaining this can be you just have to tip your hat to what Caleb Williams did yes he did he had like Andy and I joking you know
I don't know if you know this um and uh I can't remember if we've nominated you before but uh the uh the week between the um championship games in the Super Bowl when there's nothing to talk about we do the uh the the diabetes uh where we give out our NFL awards uh for the season um and they have a gambling today you know twist to him obviously and um but this year we have a new category which is going to be the top throw of the year and uh it's just going to be four Caleb Williams throws I think the two that he had in the Packers game the one that the Ed to tie it and the one to win it uh the second you know the Packers throw it from fourth down that uh that could got them back into that game and then his fourth down touchdown against the Rams was just unreal I I still can't understand how that happened that was that was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen on a football field I mentioned I mentioned yesterday that I had a visceral reaction the only comp of which was the Minneapolis miracle when Stefan Diggs got behind the state defense where I slid my whole body slid down in my chair my arms went over my head
this is exactly what happened with the Caleb touchdown like you just can't process a immediately your brain is a beat behind what just happened you're like what oh my god um by the way you said hey for the Rams to come back and uh win after that that's it's hard of a champion stuff if I've ever seen it here we go and they got to earn it true there's no going voting on it that's right true they have to actually do it before you cast yours like stomping for it it's yours loving this is college football yeah that's right uh okay so knowing that you have Rams futures it in in tow how do you see these two games here this weekend on Sunday I'm adding Rams if it gets to three um but two and a half is not I don't sincerely object to that price um I I'm closer to a pick but obviously the difference between two and a half and a pick in this type of game is pre-negotiable um I think that total uh is a bit high um but I haven't played it yet um the um matchup of interest for me and that one is obviously McVeigh's offense versus Mcdonald's defense
Mcdonald had every answer in the book to just uh make the wizard Kyle Shanahan look inept two times in three weeks uh he is cooking with gas right now they have a very relatively you know healthy defense with you know elite players at all three levels I don't I don't I'm not 100% sure what the plan is for McVeigh here and um I'm very hopeful that like I'm hopeful he's not just overthinking things a little bit did he look like he was the other day I mean good god that was not good from him yes yeah I mean if you're gonna grade McVeigh on his performance in Chicago I think he gets like a D maybe a D plus um I guess I'm gonna give him a D plus because he finally pulled his head out of his behind in the over you know the final drive over time um but uh you know the the writing was on the wall pretty clearly to you know to try to use your heavy personnel and um you know and and really get the uh get things going on the ground and instead it was almost like he overthought it and he was like we're gonna catch him by surprise
and have staffer throw them all 50 times and that was um a poor decision considering the elements in the conditions and and honestly like the Bears defense and again the Bears defense played up obviously which affected things but um yeah I'm I'm a little concerned that McVeigh is in his head because the plan that McVeigh had for the Bears is probably what he should do to the Seattle I don't think the Rams are gonna get much going on the ground in this contest uh Seattle's run defenses pretty much perfect um and I think the Rams are gonna have to find ways to uh to be creative with their um heavy your personnel in passing sets probably um and I would like to see them really exercise some of the second you know some of the the tight end uh opportunities where you can get you know some of the linebackers for the CX aren't quite as good in coverage as you would you know you would hope if you were uh you know I'm gonna stop 12 and 13 personnel consistently so um that's I think what he ought to do now whether he does that I you know who knows like like I said McVeigh doesn't seem to um he's not thrown in his fastball for some reason uh and hopefully he's
saving it for this game because he's gonna need it so uh on the other side matchup wise Rams defense impressed Bigley uh against the Bears obviously you know the play we mentioned was a bit of a broken play but uh otherwise I thought they stepped up uh pretty impressively and uh came up with some really key stops now you can move the ball pretty consistently on them if you can play clean football I don't know that I trust Sam Donald to do that uh I think that the game probably is going to be decided based on how effective the interior D line is for the Rams in generating quick pressure on Sam Donald up the middle uh the interior offensive line for the Seahawks is still a weakness um they are a bit of a boom bust running attack um there's definitely a world here where I think the Rams defense can keep the Seahawks into the high teens uh in which case they just need to get to 20 uh and uh if I'm gonna make a call call Rams uh 2317 there it is calls a score the McVeigh thing I don't want to gloss over that the McVeigh thing is a little concerning I mean I always
talk about that I think the definition of a great coach is one who can adjust on the fly right because just be able to see that whatever you prepared for all week long hey look my exes and those aren't working I'm tossing this out he just could not get out of this mode they had 11 carries like deep into the third quarter you know that was their tally at that point that has to concern you a little bit that you can become that myopic yeah oh concerns me a lot my entire book on the Rams was based on like this is the coaching quarterback with the most experience uh the idea of like standing back and being like McVeigh wins three super bowls in his career sure yeah yeah they had no no uh no no flag there um but uh what he has done to this point through two playoff games has been a little bit confusing and um yeah yeah I'm not sure what's going on but it does have me uh it does have me it does that my head on a swim well I also mean you know Stafford didn't play very good that was just gonna say Stafford's been tricky too yeah this is now yeah this
is now two out of his last four games where it's not the same kind of clean guy we saw through the first ten weeks of the season so um yeah I mean all the warning signs are there but you know you got going for you a few of the Rams the other quarterback is him uh Patriots Broncos on the other side would drew and some NBA it's a numbers game right here at visa you're here because you want an edge that's what separates listeners from winners but let's be real mindset alone doesn't get bets home pros win because they've got the tools the data and the discipline and now so can you visa programs you access to the same real time insights the sharps use no secrets no fluff just actionable info that moves markets tap the link and see why serious bettors are turning knowledge into profit with visa in pro numbers game on visa these sports betting network take a look at that right there Omaha Omaha stakes were football meets flavor visa in Omaha stakes the official sponsor of tailgating
and right now when you spend a hundred twenty nine dollars you score two pounds of fully cooked chicken wings plus fifty percent off site wide at Omaha stakes dot com slash vs i n don't wait spend a hundred twenty nine dollars get two pounds of wings and say fifty percent site wide on stakes and more that's fitty at Omaha stakes dot com slash vs i n that's Omaha stakes dot com slash vson minimum purchase required seaside four details we get tweets made of the book y'all are the best for real though you really are this is uh from Norman Vegas could indiana have happened of college players weren't getting paid also read yesterday players entered the portal didn't find what they wanted to try to go back to where they were only to find their positions were filled now man it's it's definitely a sign of the times with indiana but that's what makes it so awesome right that there is this sea change that the earth is off its axis as college football so in that respect it's it's exciting that that an indiana can happen it can't happen with Kurt's dignity either right specifically and um do they have to work out a whole bunch of the other stuff regarding
uh transfer portal yes absolutely it's still a very uh very much a work in progress we're gonna know it's laughing about with this the other day but it's the yeah I was very much one of those people that said these college kids deserve to get paid I don't have any answers for the afternoon okay let's say you like many hadn't thought it through right I don't have any suggestions rather should work at least you just get paid Steve Groenwald uh Gil with the instant success of indiana was signety do you think my Michigan state Spartans have a chance with our new coach and path is Gerald has some great teams at Northwestern with less talent yeah you did love your show breakdowns and the breakdowns of the games thank you Steve I appreciate it um hey man now every school in America right is gonna every big time school is gonna think to themselves why not uh why not us and you you still have to hit lightning in a bottle right like I mean it just doesn't happen like this this is a fairy tale story as we said it's reflected in the pre-flop odds of a hundred or one this just does not happen um but could it happen could show bad visceral great coach los vegas 514 yo I didn't know who oh well a danger was I looked at
the Wikipedia page and in a personal life section it mentioned she was in the stands during the last night's ESPN broadcast now I know exactly who she is exactly right five weeks five weeks weeks enjoy the talk on being honest with yourself uh being too close to the sun on bedding also works in the investing world offending only the day-to-day noise i.e. not being too close to the sun is best for long-term success jack hole acquired gill on the McAfee show they talked about the refs on the game being known to let the boys play but at what point does it become ridiculous when a caller non-call can affect the outcome of the game they definitely let them play don't know if it's good or bad yeah I was definitely uh definitely a theme last night they sure did let them play tugs on jerseys map sure let them play Nathan Mallinson thanks for a great Australian open podcast and all your tennis and wine content oh Drew Drew deserves all the credit for the wine content spare pair of tickets to queens men's final mentioned on your pod as the most beautiful court and tennis of both of you or either of you and a plus one can make the trip let me know hey Drew Dinsick kind enough to join us for a second segment we just got a we just got an invite
to uh the queens club in England on the grass there you go oh yeah beautiful yeah well probably in in uh the power ranking of non majors I'd like to attend oh yeah it's okay I think it's second it's second what's first I would put I think Rome first um you ever see like how beautiful those grounds are like a day one or day two of Rome if you can like walk around the grounds and be pretty spectacular money carlos up there too um I'm shocked you're not bougie like we can go to any of those this by the top three boy why do you never go to any of the animals what you're well I will eventually I because the um it's ski season yeah there's the answer it's ski season that's the difference it's ski season um all right I have a couple questions what I've one question for you before you get into the Patriots and the Broncos you mentioned because I do this show the the podcast that I do between the conference championship and the Super Bowl that week and I've done it for 15 years now is the Vegas lifestyle show I think it's our 15th or 16th annual coming up it's
amazing um that we've done it this many years you said you do something called the dives and you're not you what are the why is it named that the deep dive the deep dive the deep dive the deep dive the deep dive we just it's a mouthful the deep dive NFL gambling awards show is mouthful so we just we're brilliant and did you said you're not you're not the any one of the DPs I wanted the dives yeah dives would go back and forth the DPs yeah the DPs you say honestly yeah honestly it's just an excuse for Andy to make an in-memorium video of all the coaches and GMs it got fired that's really all that that that was that was kind of like that that was that was the setup it's like we really just need an in-memorium yeah to put all these guys you know dumb you know like like find the dumbest face picture you can and put it to slow Sarah McLaughlin music you know beautiful gone but soon rehired yeah and just kind of flashed through all the all the that's really speaking of which we didn't mention Robert Sala hired as the Tennessee Titans head coach
for those who missed it when watching college football last night and Jeff Hathley hired as the Miami Dolphins do head coach he of course the couple so a couple defensive guys for Tennessee and Miami okay Drew to New England and Denver what are your thoughts did you bet anything here uh I have Patriots to win the AFC that I am stakes like sticking to and I thought this was going to be a more fun handicap than if it was just Bo next Patriots because there's obviously a moving part that is solvable but you know the this kind of trying to come up with the right downgrade to stitum uh is I don't know it though there's no real basis for it you just kind of are going with your opinion and you're gonna back fill all the reasons why I think um so it's pretty much a stay away I don't think I'm probably even gonna watch this game but obviously uh
yeah I'm out I'll watch the second half probably but um yeah there's a lot there's not a lot there's not I am actually yeah I know I got to get some I got to get some warm-up laps before we go to Italy I get my legs inches kid especially yeah conditions conditions look pretty good of an amit so heading up Friday and uh coming back Sunday I'll be home for Ramsey ox but uh probably gonna miss a good amount of Patriots Broncos okay I'll bite when are you going to hitle you said you're gonna hitle you close I'm gonna miss I'm gonna miss yeah a good amount of Patriots Broncos you you threw in you're going to hitle you then he's on the Libbyg's coverage yeah Libbyg's coverage that's right I'll be in court yeah I'll be in courtina uh we're gonna see curling uh lose and uh and most importantly women's women's alpine women's downhill uh it's gonna be very very uh exciting there they are skiing the Cortina tofana uh sure course which is one of the most beautiful and most well decorated of all the FIS alpine courses so um
it's gonna be very cool to see the downhill and the supergy and the women's combined there um a decent chance that we get Lindsey Bonn and Michaela Schifrin as a team for the USA which is pretty cool they'll be heavy favorites to win the women's combined I would guess um but it's gonna be a lot of fun to to see and ski uh Cortina alta bodya the dolomites um fired up any more uh any betting numbers we have on anybody's hosting stuff yet I find any things I'm waiting for I'm still waiting for uh actual specific markets um so I don't have anything that now there's really not a lot of liquidity outside of maybe some prediction markets but I will tell you that if you are looking to kind of get into the spirit of things and you want to see something very very cool um watch the winning run from Wengen Switzerland men's doubt alpine downhill last weekend um the best skier on earth is the Swiss guy Marco Otermott and this is effectively his home course where he's won four in a row and uh it is such a cool course it's basically looks like a pops like
course it's crazy that these guys are on skis doing this and uh it is whole entire hillside is just the whole entire hillside that has the view of most of the course it's just full of people who like hiked up and skied there it's crazy uh you know crazy that this is the way things are um and it's like it has like Tour de France feel you know with like all the people we're like how did they even get there yeah like what what are you doing on top of this mountain um it's the same kind of vibe and uh uh Otermott coming down this course I'm just gonna throw it out there you got to guess at what his top speed was on skis um I'm like 83 miles an hour no faster 123 miles an hour that's a little too fast he topped out at 93 miles 93 which even silly yeah like the idea of going 93 miles an hour on two skis is just absolutely terrifying I don't know how it's beautiful I don't know how it's possible but it was a beautiful run and uh and they keep improving the quality of ski broadcast because the drones now all over the course and so basically
you're getting like the sweeping view from overhead of these guys doing these runs and it's just absurd you get a much more true understanding of the relative speed and it's just like it's mind-blowing but sadly makes a lot of sense right my dad to the day he passed away was always like fron's clamor 1976 the best I don't think about the road for skiing before I'm more of an axle lunch thing that's okay you're an angle more stand more kind of again uh real quick before you go out and give us an NBA pick or two for tonight uh best bet on the board is the Minnesota Timberwell is minus 12 nice 12 and a half um they have a two mongus advantage 50 wide over uh Utah Minnesota playing really really well right now even without Nazareed I think that's a lay um I do I I don't mind going to war with the Golden State Warriors and the absence of Jimmy Butler at three and a half I think they're they are playing extremely good right now even and we'll be fine without him for a couple of games uh and weirdest bet on the board for me the
Sacramendi Kings um not exactly sure what's going on but the Western conferences like upside down right now all of the terrible teams are playing well that includes the Kings true density everybody Jeff Erickson on championship week next on a numbers game at Feast of these sports betting network numbers game on Feast and these sports betting network back on a numbers game Gill Alexander Kelly Bittling alongside we get tweets of beating the book y'all the best Tim Bowers Drew is one of my favorite numbers game guests but after listening to the Australian open megapod I did try to find the YouTube clip he referenced about Osaka and Serena I feel kind of bad about doing so but it did not find it if it makes him feel better uh that was one of the things they came up on that by the way the australian the downloads on the Australian open pod through the roof and Kelly smiling because Kelly had an influence on it because uh among other things Drew talked about australian lines per Kelly's request on the podcast and Drew was just telling us off here he got a lot of incoming he was panned for some of his uh the reason I
wanted to bring it up was just because like I know they have a wine region I don't know that I've ever had a good australian wine so it was funny to be an even tease that Drew was going to talk about this that's pretty much what he got the income and that he really did his homework right it had a great suggestion that he's like he's sending me he's sending me screenshots right now of conversations of uh him getting killed oh is he got a funny uh Tim Tim Bowers by the way uh 2018 Osaka Serena that was when Osaka won her first major at the US Open Serena was a terrible sport about it Osaka ends up crying and then somehow the public gives Serena credit for comforting her you made her cry anyway sorry I didn't see further than that prime time Leon Sanders yo hey man heat wave in the Malibu the Midwest two degrees Fahrenheit only minus 20 winch he'll surfs up there you go not bad Steve New York Steve New York football judge 42 wanted your thoughts on this prop the Patriots of plus 130 to lose the Super Bowl given they will likely be underdogs against both Rams and Seahawks I think this is a great angle if you think they're winning Sunday you'd have
the favorite at plus money uh yeah I'd have to like actually do the numbers yeah Harley calculated there but it makes I think that checks out I think it checks out I believe I did bet I better look ahead we talked about it yesterday I did lay that three I found the stations had those up in town yeah Jeffrey S. DeVore sitting on the taxiway waiting for our gate to open Sunday night at oh hair the Caleb Fort down touchdown pass occurred with a plane erupting in cheers one by one as our live streams weren't all in sync surreal head shaking sports moment that's awesome everybody reacting to the he Caleb Williams touchdown pass the Colcomat which once again was a fourth and fourth the 14 if I'm not mistaken and he was 26 yards behind the line of scrimmage at the 40 off his back foot just incredible James Fessler is your better half coming on an hour three to break down the only Osaka's entrance outfit from last night and how does that factor into your focused on the match handicap I missed her outfit I missed her kit by the way speaking of outfits and kits as the kids call him kids can we put Yarnick sinner in something better than mustard and brown
that feels like his style you're the number one tennis player in the world can connect you can make someone better than putting you in a pod raise uniform good god you see your girl who played Madison keys last night with her face thanks to you I did oh man that's something she out now she got she's going uh Madison's in Maddie still in uh ladies gentlemen Jeff Erickson kind enough to join us now he has a founder of roto wire and he's kind enough to join us each and every Wednesday on the show um to talk national football league fantasy most of the season but obviously now we are beyond fantasy and just into bets and props of that kind of think Jeff good morning to you sir how you doing good morning gentlemen I'm doing well uh just enjoyed that game last night really fun uh now we're looking trying to hone in on this upcoming weekend pretty soon I'm gonna have to really dive more into the NBA in the NHL when we host prop points after the Super Bowl looking forward to that so when does when does that start for you and Nick uh shortly after the Super Bowl shortly I forget the exact date off the top of my head but uh
we'll be filling in and uh you know for the for the next like five six months after that there we'll talk a lot of you know we'll still talk NFL but we'll have a lot of daily basketball hockey uh baseball once that fires up we'll do a lot of baseball preview stuff we're really looking forward to doing all that again it's different being on the other side of the screen there and in the yeah in the proverbial big chair is it a peaceful transition of power between John Hansen and you too or is there a call absolutely all right John and I go way back uh we both had you know the original shows on Sirius XM fantasy so uh yeah uh love John okay just keep your eye on the whale keep your eye on the whale and he feels like he has some authoritarian vibes in him he might try to like hold on past August or something you know I'll trust that kid one bet oh he's the greatest kid in the world all right let's talk about these two games and where you landed let's start with the Patriots and the Broncos which Georgia's told us he may not even watch he doesn't have anything in that game uh it is of course the uh the Jared Stidham game now for the Broncos in just one of the
more and we have to say it again there's not enough times we can say one of the most emotionally rollercoastery things we've ever seen in sports let alone the NFL for the Broncos to advance and then find out unbeknownst to anybody that they're starting quarterback bonyx was hurt and no and no longer able to go what do you think the way they drop that too oh by the way he's got an ankle injury he's out for the playoffs. Oh wow incredible incredible but there was no way to know I asked this of Kelly I should I'm just curious before we get to your your props do you believe that because some people are a little skeptical about this do you believe the story that Nick's broke the ankle on that sort of innocuous two yard loss on that final drive or do you believe it happened on the kneel down and that they're trying to sort of save face by saying it was the play before I don't know I haven't gone all Zap Rooter on it there and gone frame by frame but I think it I too I tend to believe him why would they lie maybe it was like you could think I supposedly got stepped on a little bit on the kneel down maybe that would have been a final straw sort of thing
but I would think that the initial aggravation probably happened on the run probably happened earlier in the game for all we know too you know it's just like you know you get that gradual wear and tear and it's just the last thing that causes it to snap but just brutal so the question on this side on this game is like how many points is Bo Nick's versus Jared's did him worth right I've had a hard time figuring that out because just because he hasn't played so much but you know Peyton at the same time targeted stood him he wanted to get stood him that was one of the first I think maybe the first hire they made after Peyton was hired I mean you know he had those couple of games when they were exiling Russell Wilson just like they were doing Derek Carr the year before and with the Raiders you know it's it's interesting to kind of see okay well let's look it back on stitum's pass there's not much to look back on there but at least I'm confident that he's no Max Brozmer at least that we're confident in that he is yeah north of the Brozmer line as we like to say all right so what do you have a couple props here where'd you land land on a couple things here one someone's got to catch passes for for the Broncos because we know that they they're
going to be probably without Patrick Bryant he had another concussion you know you missed time with the first concussion this you know we're really bad one I think that was the end of the Jackson ville game so he's probably out and we might not see Troy Franklin either so I like Evan Ingram to get more than two and a half receptions only had three catches last week but I think they're going to have to turn to him a little bit more often in this game against the Pat so I like the over two and a half receptions for Ingram and this one here on the on the Pat side I think the reminder Stephenson Russian number is a little too low at 48 and a half he is clearly the better of the two Pat's backs right now has been so for like the last month and I know that the time share thing hurts a little bit as far as that goes we just saw James Cook run very effectively against the Broncos in that game in the divisional round I think Stephenson gets over 48 and a half rush arts here okay let's go to game two because you do we we stop at two in the first game right let's go to game two then obviously the NFC championship between the Rams and the Seahawks
the more more key of the matchups who will be the representative from the NFC you have two props in this as well yeah two running back props here Kenneth Walker is going to get a lot of buzz you know with the injury to Charbonne and how well Walker ran last week how well Walker ran in the game against the Rams last time they played that number is pretty high at 86 and a half I think that's a number it's just a high number to hit a lot of things can go wrong for it not to work out and he didn't work out in the first game against the Rams I think this that was a little bit of a Broncos game remember we had one huge run in that game he had the one huge screen pass too he had him he had a massive game in that game against the Rams but it's like boomer bust I don't see him getting the steady drum beat of runs so I think I'm going to take the under 86 and a half rushing yards in this game especially because I you know they always say there's nobody left well there's always somebody whether it's Lonnie whether it's eight you know they bring acres off the practice squad you know there's always someone that's going to weigh in a little bit more I don't see them just
going Walker Walker Walker the whole time through and having it work so I'm going to go under 86 and a half on that one all right you have one more you said in this game I do I do on the other side Kyron Williams is I think a pretty small number at 53 and a half you can get that over to MGM I've seen 55 and a half at draft King so chop around but I just they have their Dawson's back healthy remember he got hurt in this game against the Seahawks last time out got stepped on to the point where the deep I forget the defensive lineman who did it he got suspended for the following subsequent game for doing so but he's a big part at their right guard and I think that that's a really a big aspect of this Rams run game I think Kyron Williams gets over the 53 and a half rush yards okay Jeff I'll just ask you this because I asked this of Kelly yesterday which is what's what's the matchup you just from a fans perspective maybe even from a betting perspective what's the matchup you most want to see what's the one you least want to see the one I most want to see it is Ram Seahawks I'm so excited that we get to see this match up here but I'm sorry I'm after the Super Bowl my
I know for the Super Bowl uh yeah I was doing a faking answer there sorry um I bought I'll go I want to see uh I kind of want to see Rams Pats uh Seahawks Pats would be fine too and that we have some history with that one too so either way I think in some history for both of those games actually so either one of those are going to be fine I just don't want to see stood him in the Super Bowl I'm sorry yeah sorry Broncos fans I think I think we all kind of feel that that's why I asked that question this year I know that doesn't make Broncos fans happy but it's just kind of kind of like we talked about earlier we got a show to worry about okay we've got to do three weeks of stood up we've got to do two weeks on this game exactly let's look like Jared stood him back at Auburn for some insight thank you Jeff appreciate it very much Jeff Erickson everybody Jeff underscore Erickson on Twitter coming back on a numbers game the sharp plays unmatched transparency with records updated daily AI betting analysis real-time

mortal capper for the Vegas lifestyle pod that you do uh between the championship weekend the super wobbly traveling to Vegas to sign up for survivor august 28th through the 30th first time contestant planning to stay at circa will be coming to town alone best way to spend a hot august day in Vegas stadium swimming circus sports book all day yeah it doesn't get much better than to be honest especially if you got best going special if you're betting yeah Indiana jet best hangover ever talk about the nati he's got a picture of he's in the stadium last night Mendoza on the big screen nothing but Indiana Hoosiers fans still in there after the game that's awesome and then James Festler showed me the picture of Osaka entering the court yeah they're coming on to the court yesterday I guess this was too late night I decided I wasn't gonna stay up till three in the morning last night but I didn't see this my goodness what are we doing what do they do this is like a day before it starts or something no no I think that's how she came out of the court I think oh wow oh I don't know maybe I'm wrong no I think you're right I see tennis shoes under yeah she got that I think she doesn't she just takes off that get up and she's
got her tennis outfit all right now I'm actually a little bit more impressed wow these girls some uh let me just say this because we haven't we haven't talked about the game for about an hour now because we had nothing but guess but just I get it cannot be emphasized enough how amazing this is from just the North American sports perspective what the Indiana Hoosiers pulled off and I just want to I just want to shout out the hurricanes also a team that I had plus 450 to make to make the college football playoff remember right before the few seconds before the announcement no one actually thought or most people didn't think that the hurricanes were even going to get in the 12 team field they do get in because quite frankly in the reason I bet it games have to matter right they have to matter them beating Notre Dame week one has to matter and they did and it did and finally they got in and in the end those Miami hurricanes who barely were given the right to get into this end up going on their own little magic carpet ride that got them all the way to having the ball with a chance to win it at the end so think of all the
things that Indiana did in that game if they don't accomplish one of them right if they if one fewer good things happens to Indiana Miami probably wins this football game you don't get the block pine obviously you don't convert the fourth and fourth touchdown you name it right you don't convert the previous four down whatever it was Indiana season will just go I don't know that we can think of another team in anything where they just made all the big plays all season long and I know for those who have Miami tickets it's a tough pill to swallow because there's a lot of money that folks were hoping to make a lot of people bet them to win the championship when that way when you made that better they made the playoffs 100 to 100 they had a huge tickets on it sorry they almost did it man they really almost pulled it off but this Indiana team is is historical and I just I just think I will always think of them as that team that they made every play all season long that they had it's just incredible and remember was the opening game against ODU did they give up the
the first touchdown on the kit was it a kickoff or a big long touchdown early they were like down seven nothing to the season started I don't remember but it's Indiana football man like they were I mean this is the team with the most losses right in college football history like this they've been doing this for a long time and being really bad at it for a long time and they are national champions today 16 and oh it is funny how you think of teams so I think of I was thinking about that UVA basketball team that won the national championship um was that 2019 UVA was it with that's only been it and uh and uh and uh those guys um what's my man's name I'm already forgetting his name now this is what happened to Andre Hunter no not de Andre 2019 2019 that's great tied your own tied your own that's my guy tied your own so I came to his name and that's my guy the uh that team I will always remember as we always overuse this term team of destiny I always think of that team as team of destiny not only because they lost the UMBC the previous year as a UMBC a 16 to beat a one but also just the nature of those wins in the tournament the the
Purdue game the Auburn game just I mean this is great I'm not to mention the national championship itself just the nature of those wins you're like nothing is good this is just team of destiny the universe has just has written it and this Indiana team I'll always remember as the as the team that just nothing fazed them they did everything right yeah I think all that all the questions were getting you know about what's the future of college football and can we see a team like this again that's all fair it's all fair and I I don't know right like maybe we will maybe this is a trend that's going to start here but it's still it's still Indiana football nobody expected this a hundred to one credible story D Jen Southern Jen says I don't know about you guys but I know I won't be able to remember last night's championship game without a belladanger much like I can't remember Super Bowl 23 without John candy two true masters of the respective crafts do you know the John candy reference yeah yeah yeah for those who don't they show it on like it's yeah I don't obviously I haven't even see I haven't seen that Super Bowl I wasn't well didn't see that Super Bowl but John candy like anytime you flip on NFL network and that anything from that Super Bowl
John candy's always showed the well the story was that was the Super Bowl the Niners beat the bangles the second Niners victory over the bangles in terms of Super Bowl history but at the beginning of that final would prove to be the game winning drive for the Niners which famously was a Montana to John Taylor touchdown pass at the very beginning of that drive even this I've heard the story a million times yeah deep in their own territory Montana gets into the huddle and before he calls the play looks up at the stands and says to everybody in the huddle everybody in the huddle oh man look John candy's up in his dance that was that was like the as the cooling moment from Joe right like it calmed everybody down like hey look there's John candy and and D. J. Southern jet I laugh and I laugh so hard when I first read the tweet because yeah I think it's going to be a few years until I forget about that too hey he's a lot to go to school two tires man good for her hilarious you have an NBA player too I got a few tonight actually as that co-instead on hardwood Haiti capters today he was shocked at how many plays I had yeah which uh share with us sir four in total for me that is a lot on way to seven games on the board
it's a lot what are we doing yeah I know there was a Drew made me feel a lot better uh when he went over some of his because we do share a couple um okay I'm on rockets and spurs how about this guilt side in total for me in this game uh late three and a half with the rockets on the opener yesterday we have a lot of rest situations tonight in the NBA I think every game except for one involves a team that played last yesterday so just something to be aware of if you're going betting the NBA today no Steven Adams for the rockets back to back though when we still on kind of been on minutes watch here he racked up 31 last night so I'm a little interested to see how much he is going to play tonight for San Antonio then rolling into Houston Houston's offense has been struggling mightily recently they're about middle of the pack right now uh in offensive rating over their last 10 games a lot has been made of their uh their struggles actually at last 10 games of 22nd offensive rating um I like them though San Antonio coming off that back to back if there's any wimpy minute uh limit I do like rockets late three and a half I think four four and a half is fine
I would cut it off at five like to the underborn in this game both these teams defensive wise top six defenses over the past few weeks in the NBA the under is hit in nine of the last 10 for San Antonio in nine of last 10 for Houston so I bet under 223 in a half last night yeah that's what I got last night 221 and a half is where it's kind of settled in at I still like the under uh in that game a Drew mentioned it I laid the big number with the wolves on open 10 and a half points on the road tonight against the Utah Jazz it is currently 12 and a half 12 12 and a half I brought it up he was landed at that number I it would only be wolves are duffet for me you're going to have marketing likely out of this game but check back in on that I think if you haven't bet it yet I would wait till you have lowery marketing official news this is just I'm only saying that about this team guild because yes with some of the bottom feeder teams I'm pretty sure lowery marketing and dealing with an illness the jazz front office is saying hey lowery you take
all the time you need all the time you need just make sure it's a hunter's right make sure you come back a hundred percent so does read questionable for Minnesota tonight too but these are you look back the last couple weeks this is second best net rating team in the Minnesota temple six and three smashing opponents plus 11.5 net rating over that time and the Utah Jazz minus 13.2 with the worst defense in the NBA back-to-back situation for them laid it with the wolves and then the one that I'm I'm nervous about was glad to hear gill with Drew is on it too gill is the Sacramento Kings and we are although our friend Carl sack oh really yes well he released the heat today so I'm on the Sacramento Kings who by the by numbers of Sacramento is a just playing as a better team great out of Miami Kelly hoops bidlin oh it fired away I know right I took two and a half for Sacramento to get a better number now thanks Carl Paul car premiere league picks let's talk about his days the DSPN when lester city one at all contribute to indiana from last night it's
