A Numbers Game | January 5, 2026 | Hour 3

0:00The numbers told the story always down, so on those idiots who believe in analytics, this is a numbers game with Gill I like Xander gone V sent our number three of a numbers game at V sent these sportsmen and that were V sent dot com game plus I hard radio YouTube TV and of course series section channel 158 Gill Alexander and Kelly Midland Kelly by the line on Twitter strike phonetically Still to come this hour Adam Berkel Jonas in his regular Monday spot. I don't know maybe hasn't played on the FCS Championship tonight the Berkster remember Randy Berkerino when crackman was in the last week he gave out Randy McKay's pick on the FCS championship tonight Illinois State plus 10 and a half I'm in on it and it's still there Still at that number yeah barely moved right yeah 10 and a half still there still there we'll see if Adam has a thought and then he's got college basketball get his thoughts on wild car we and we have another NFL coach firing This is the first this is the fourth now the Arizona Cardinals are firing coach Jonathan Ganon sources say that's according to Ian

1:02Rappaport at rap sheet endless losses to finish an injury riddled season spelled the end of Ganon who should be a top tier defensive coordinator candidate now so let us review started with Rahim Morris yesterday being fired by the Atlanta Falcons then this morning Kevin Stephansky of the Cleveland Browns Pete Carroll of the Las Vegas Raiders and now Jonathan Ganon of the Arizona Cardinals and I miss anybody those four we know that Zach Taylor is staying with the Cincinnati Bengals but four coaches have already been fired our buddy Dave Ross of the co-hosted by the books which precedes us we love Dave I love Dave is one of my favorite people ever he was updated he loves this kind of thing now he always previses by saying let's keep in mind no one likes to lose their job he always does that but then he just enjoys this kind of thing so much we love that about Dave but that's four NFL coaches four ousted and the Jonathan Ganon wanted to me is the most noteworthy because weren't there some folks thinking he could be

2:03coach of the year this year sure yeah oh he was on my short list beginning of the season yeah I don't even know but understandable right I'm a little surprised by this a little well I mean let's shot let's just review them real quick Rahim Morris yeah you got way too much talent to not win that division okay that's the first thing Stephansky yeah I mean how many years can you suck sorry the dish on Watson thing is now in the rear view you can't keep going with that excuse and I know you didn't get any favors when it came to quarter back throughout but okay I still think he's good guilt the thing is his defense was great you know I think everybody there it's just time for a fresh start Pete Carroll look I mean you couldn't have been worse this team couldn't have been worse that was easy and then Jonathan Ganon I mean look that between Kyler Murray and I say it every week Mike their box scores the Cardinals box scores are the weekly the best players and nobody knows about nationally like Michael Wilson and Tremick bride like guys that just produce every

3:08week they can't win a game to save their lives they were so injured down the stretch they were like and Kyler like the whole see I don't I just feels like they were but like Washington managed to win five they lost the most games to starter injuries right I just I don't know Arizona by the way 15 and 36 under Jonathan Ganon including losing 14 of its final 15 this season it's not ideal that's it's the way you want to play I would refer to it as suboptible we get tweets of being in the book Paul Stanley as a chiefs fan I knew how far we had fallen when I had no idea who the announcer's calling the game were on the good side at least it wasn't Romo Hey Paul Hey man now you get to feel just for one week what it feels like for so many fans so many other franchises Uncle Bush keep preaching Kelly he's got James Pearson 20 to one good on you defense working here I'm betting it today cannot believe I'm making another awards bet but I am NCI 95 gambler I 95 stretching down the Eastern Seaboard

4:09he's in Carolina say hey Gil I don't know if people remember but that future on Chechiah to his live today on whatever is that tournament is called in the hockey juniors they're in the final this afternoon LFG yeah that buddy Jake Han gave that out last week and of course I was too stupid to remember to play it the world junior championship Chechiah right check Republic Chechiah also known as Chechiah that we got confused about last week I had to look it up apparently you can call them both plus 105 against Sweden by 30 Brian Moran and if Kelly wants more fan betting action on his bets he needs to up his ante all the money in his pocket and a lightly used spyglass should have been offered as well I've been used more often than you would think he's right you should have offered that and three Jack I add that Cam little field goal kicker as he said that little field goal kicker is going to be the deciding factor in the AFC my prediction he says took the Rams over the Jags and Super Bowl exact at 30 to one I like it let's book

5:09there an old doll says thank you so awesome thank you go for the call from Atlanta talking about Durnace Johnson he says my wifey all down and asked if I was okay thanks for getting me through the hip replacement recovery you two are the best oh man hope that goes quick I'm told though that they you feel like brand new afterwards so just get through the tough part oh no D Mark B offensive working year by the numbers admittedly with the Henderson dog in the fight he says Travion 1132 yards 10 touchdowns Macmillan a thousand 14 yards receiving seven touchdown and Jeff Levine Gilly just haven't been paying attention there has already been history made on the interception record the Jets have stopped playing infinitely for a record that can never be beaten unreal Jeff Delaware Shore Jeff hope you're enjoying the Delaware Shore this time of year I know it's it's not the prettiest in January but we mentioned that Jets record it's incredible it really is incredible like of all the amazing things of all the amazing stats we've

6:10ever given out to go an entire football season an entire professional football team never got a bounce I know never got a deflection that they they went right to somebody nothing is incredible I heard not a pick I heard all year I heard Patrick Maher bring this up on the shirt buddy podcast check it out get it wherever you get your podcasts summit you know Maher doing a great job getting getting a set for wild car weekend he also brought off but you know poor to know right head coach Aaron Glenn like all time great defensive back like with your debacks can't pick off one ball to the last one it's great point Monday night football Texans at the Steelers number five seeded Texans at the number four seeded Steelers no need to go through the Texans game they had little did a little touch and go within the Annapolis for much of that game Stroud was taken out early in the third quarter for Davis Mills Texans still pull it out 38 to 30 I should mention though that it was 32 to 30 and a

7:10lot of people had in game bets and then a pitchy pitchy woo woo gone bad where Tommy uh Tokie I scores for Houston 38 30 and always fun a lot of people got screwed I had Texans and 10 point teasers that was a little sweatier for me especially when you're like Davis Mills comes in right doesn't complete a pass in the third quarter you're like really one that was surprised that you're playing today like were you not ready for this all right and then last night's game the game for the AFC North Steelers and Ravens um ball the more eight plays 86 yards to start net 26 yard run after a bogus by the way net 26 yard run to start after a bogus illegal block all on Z on the first play from scrimmage seven plays later fourth and three at the Pittsburgh 38 Lamar to Devantes Walker behind the defense seven and nothing Ravens 10 54 left in the first quarter couple drives later for Pittsburgh fourth and one of their own 45 they decided to go for it Connor Haywood stop for no gain that led to a Baltimore field goal Tyler loop from 40 10 to nothing Ravens early second quarter uh then Boswell 56 57 yard field

8:15pardon me pardon me after a sequence in which Rogers's footwork made a miss a wide open M.V.S. for a big gainer and then couldn't out sprint Tavius Robinson to the quarter 10 to three Ravens and then Pittsburgh late first half they have a double dip chance down seven from their own nine they matriculate the ball down the field third and nine at their own 25 Rogers for 20 then they get it to fourth and goal the one after a PI in the end zone seconds left do you go for it do you kick the field well that's the choice they decide to go for it gain well hit for a one yard lost by Gilman a low he Gilman you have any problem with them going for it no I would have kicked the field goal knowing the double dip but I have no problem with yeah I feel the same way I didn't think it was like a big you federal offense third quarter Pittsburgh from the start 12 play 67 yards on a drive where Baltimore lost Kyle Hamilton to a concussion Rogers to fry a move for 14 on third and 10 to their own 45 two plays later to feel in for 28 four plays later fourth and one at the Baltimore to this time Hayward gets the one yard then another one into the end zone on first and goal

9:1710 to 10 with a 23 left in the third quarter Baltimore nearly 10 minutes of game time without the ball now third play third and 10 to their own 34 Lamar pass batted down by Hayward ricochets right into the hands of TJ Watts see that's what I'm talking about with the jets you don't get a ricochet or anything Pittsburgh set up the Baltimore 26 fourth and two of the Baltimore seven they decide will kick a field goal Boswell 25 yard or 13 10 dealers with 428 left of third quarter Lamar three drive two drives later by the way at this point he's four of nine for 29 yards in this game if you took out that one long touchdown pass at the beginning Lamar to Zay for 15 to start three plays later third and fourth midfield Lamar splits Alex high Smith and Keanu Benton who appear to have him sacked unbelievable escape I've lost my place oh yeah direct Zay to go long perfect lofted pass for 50 touchdown 17 13 Ravens 842 left in the fourth quarter Pittsburgh response eight plays 60 yards 453 off the clock from 40

10:17from their own 40 after the balls kicked out of bounds on the kickoff second place 615 yard run by Jalen Warren three plays later Rogers dime to fry or move for 31 on third native the Baltimore 36 three plays later gain well in from two but Rogers has to use their final two time outs along the way communication issues is pissed 20 to 17 Steelers with 349 left unbelievable Pittsburgh is going to win it right wrong Baltimore with 343 left all three time outs from their own 27 third play third play after replay assist somehow says record was short on first on the previous down for the first hour shorter the first down I don't know how they reverse that Lamar and Zay behind the defense again for 64 touchdown 24 20 Ravens with 220 left surely they're going to win to but no Pittsburgh from their own 35 no time outs just a two minute warning first play Rogers to Austin for 17 to feel and for eight to gain well who slips attack for 15 to the 26 in complete in complete third and 10 to the 26 a woozy a slips and falls to the wide open Austin touchdown because he fell 26 24 Pittsburgh with 55 seconds left

11:19Boswell extra point slices right like my drives and golf only a second missed extra point four years Baltimore still with all three time outs need to feel low to win Keaton Mitchell returns the kickoff 42 yards set up at their own 47 Lamar to Vontes for seven 43 seconds left illegal formation sets him back second down Lamar throws it past the wide open Hopkins on the sideline third and seven avoid the sack but throws away fourth and seventh midfield with 21 seconds left Lamar high to likely stretches out of size he can what a catch for 26 time out Lamar center 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

12:27a numbers game on fee said these sports betting network is a a tweet from Berk word of my on Twitter says hey who cut gilly off he was on a roll there I know right so rude and Brian young notorious guns as right on cue Gil was just talking on a numbers game how Dave Ross loves this black Monday in the NFL and here we are Davis tweeting all about who's who's lost jobs is not Dave loves this disclaimer it's never good when someone loses their job we should point that out anyway the end of that the game by the way where we got to cut off on it in my apologies again so it just back and forth back and for twenty six twenty four and then Boswell like the complete slice on the extra point all ball the more needs is a feel goal to win the AFC North and get to the playoffs it was so obvious to write how it was going to end after that they get I mean they get the ball you know well with three time outs Mitchell returns the kickoff 42 yard so they're set up at their own 47 I mean they're easy peasy now

13:31right but that illegal formation that set them back a little bit was just enough to make it a little harried but then they get that unbelievable catch from likely right full stretch on third down on fourth and seven pardon me fourth and seven at midfield Lamar to likely for twenty six yards the Pittsburgh 24 and so then Lamar centers the ball right get it down to two seconds for a title loop 44 yard field goal wide right gotta feel bad for that kid yeah me too especially since you know my first thought was when it missed remember Justin Tucker making so many field goals for this team yeah well he had a little issue with the parlors too yeah yeah yeah so there it is and I my guess was Houston minus two and a half at at Pittsburgh and it is yeah open two and a half came set that's what I went to three I bet in it three last night it is in between three and three and a half right now let's bring an Adam Burke for

14:31this and we show that one graphic here Danny as we as we segue to Adam Burke who's kind enough to join his each and every Monday including today courtesy the progressive guest line you can follow him on Twitter at skating tripods part of the whole glue that holds the whole operation together Adam shifter now just sort of in one snapshot giving us the current NFL landscape there are six head coach openings the top two there remember because those were interim coaches Kafka and McCoy the bottom four Falcons cardinals Browns and Raiders have all fired their head coach in the last twelve to fifteen hours and then two GM openings those were two in her now that Arthur font no excuse me Terry font no gone with the Falcons and remember we already had an interim GM situation with the dolphins when Greer got let go in October we bring in Adam and Adam my first question to you obviously is a Cleveland guy how do you feel about Kevin Stefansky being let go are you for it are you against it are you indifferent how do you feel

15:31you know what I'm for it for the sake of Kevin Stefansky for getting away from that organization so I'm really really happy for him being able to get away from everything that he's had to put up with everything and he's had to deal with you know Pete Prisco from CBS coming out and saying that you know Stefansky was never in favor of the Dishon Watson trade but then he had to be the guy out there front facing week after week day after day trying to talk about Watson as a player defending the move talking about you know the glass being half full with Watson and you know well he's just rusty he'll get it back stuff like that honestly when they said that Kevin Stefansky was relieved of his duties this morning I think relieved was the perfect word because I'm sure that's how he felt based on everything that's gone on with this organization and for Jimmy Haslam to come out and act like Andrew Barry saved his job because they phone Andre Schmidt to be the kicker like what the hell are we doing here just in a embarrassing morning when there's a lot of embarrassing mornings for this organization and you know what I hope Stefansky has a real QB1 wherever he goes and I hope he wins himself a Super Bowl

16:32well that's what I said about you know he was there for I mean he he was done no favors with the quarterback position throughout his tenure and that probably kept in there longer because it was kind of a built in they will and then still to the end he never really had the benefit of that position but at some point they just decided that was that and as Adam Schefter says and to your point Stefansky ought to be a well sought after candidate to other head coach opening so we'll see had coaching position openings of those six games now for wild car weekend we know the spreads we know the totals is there anything that sticks out to you above all um you know I mean I obviously all these lines are going to be pretty tight pretty accurate right at this point in time we have 17 data points for all these teams the sportsbooks know everything inside and out about their clientele tendencies and everything like that um I mean one that stands out to me I think New England is a little bit cheap at three and a half I kind of expected for maybe four and a half in this game where the

17:33Chargers are a team that just statistically doesn't impress me you know I know they had a good record and I know obviously they didn't have Justin Herbert in that last game they go they went ahead and sat him which made a ton of sense but this is a team it's like plus 0.1 in yards per play differential uh whereas New England is plus 0.8 and you know averaging over six yards per play like there's just a much much better team to me um the Chargers got very lucky that this is a late game I think which not really a big surprise the networks want the L.A. market to be able to have a late game here um you know since they're not giving the Rams one but uh I expected that line to be four maybe four and a half I think it still could get to four and I know south point here in town already has it at four so I guess one that I think is a little bit cheap here at three and a half I guessed four and a half but I'm on the other way on that uh on that handicap but I guessed four and a half as well uh anything let's go to uh college sports let's go to college hoops but before we're gonna college hoops do you have anything in the FCS championship today in football just throwing it out there yeah so I actually wrote a preview

18:33up for this game over at vsn.com so you can check that out between Illinois State and Montana State um Illinois State I mean you know we we talk about the concept of you know really Cinderella teams you know in in college sports and and we kind of have one here with Illinois State where this is a team that I mean they lost the North Dakota State pretty badly in the regular season and then beat them as a 23 and a half point dog you know in the second playoff game that they played there and then beat UC Davis and and villain over to get to this point but Montana State I mean I saw some video uh from Nashville and of course story about and Tony is going to be doing that game for ESPN tonight um it looks like the entire city of Boseman isn't Nashville so Montana States can be very well represented here they are clearly the better team I was no doubt about that offensively they're much more dynamic defensively they're stronger um I love what Illinois State's done I think it's a fantastic story but this line moving out to 10 and a half is I think a pretty good indicator of how this game plays out I do like the Montana State Bobcats tonight lay in double digits okay for those who say oh there's no football no yes there

19:36is FCS championships 7 30 Eastern 4 30 Pacific was stormy on the sidelines for that one uh college hoops got anything today yeah it's a really light card only 19 games here tonight um I actually do have a game out of the big 10 which is rare for me because usually I'm playing I have the deep dark uh you know down in the down in the rabbit hole of college basketball I like Oregon laying the six here tonight five and a half at draft Kings a little bit of extra juice um I guess Oregon team is going to start to round into form here for Dana Altman they had a lot of different injuries guys coming back guys on minutes restrictions stuff like that throughout non-conference but I think now they kind of have everything together they have a seven footer and Nate Biddle who's really good can stretch the floor Kwame Evans is a six foot 10 guy who's a terrific rebounder Rutgers is just not good really at anything I mean defensively they've really fallen off you know last year of course they had the two lottery picks and you'll see a pick you'll kind of try to change up his his scheme change up his philosophy a little bit and it didn't really work out and here so far they're terrible on offense

20:38and they're not back to their usual defensive numbers so I liked Oregon on Friday night against Maryland laid the short number there they won that game by 10 I expect them to win by 10 or so maybe even more in this game against Rutgers so I laid it with Oregon you know playing their straight game here on the Atlantic coast minus the six okay and then remind us because we won't get a chance to talk to you before Thursday and Friday night what a great week in a football college semis on Thursday and Friday then two NFL games on Saturday three on Sunday one on Monday doesn't get any better what are your takes on the two semi finals Thursday and Friday Miami Ole Miss and Oregon Indian yeah great being a relative term because my Ohio state buck guys aren't the final four which is frustrating and disappointing but yeah I mean I think that the move on Miami makes some sense you know I mean I think a lot of people are going to look at Ole Miss and say okay there's just so much going on with this team you know Charlie White Jr says he's going to stick around BDOC and you know safe with Ole Miss throughout the playoff but now that the transfer portal is open I mean it's the

21:39wild wild west out there as we know so these coaches that are doing double duty between Ole Miss and LSU really really tough thing to do here against the Miami team where they're coordinators are both focused and honestly Miami's offensive numbers have it been very impressive in the playoff but there's been these little intricacies that Shannon Doss and the offensive coordinator has worked in to give Miami third and three third and two instead of third and five third and six they've been able to convert and stay on the field and help that defense out a little bit those are things that don't really get seen in the box score because they're not impressive from a yards per play standpoint or anything like that but Miami's been really good at doing that in their first two playoff games and so I kind of like them laying the three and a half here I also like over 51 and a half where I think that you know Miami now is stepping down in class with the defense that they're facing after Texas A&M in Ohio State I think they can move the football a little bit more here on Ole Miss and turn it at Jamblist as a skill set that Miami really hasn't seen yet so I kind of like the over 51 and a half here I'm going to wait because the total is coming down but

22:42I also like Miami minus the three and a half a little bit to stay in off Friday's game I mean I think Indiana covers the four I think Indiana is just really really good of course they're killing it the portal now too so they're just going to keep rolling Oregon defense concerns me a lot in this game Adam above all appreciate that perspective from a Cleveland fan on defense he that was pretty interesting great see you happy new year it's the last day I'm allowed to say that according to Kelly so happy new year for the last time thank you guys appreciate Adam Burke everybody skating tripods on the old Twitter machine coming back recap all the bets next a numbers game on Fysand the sports betting network football meets flavor with V Sin and Omaha stakes the official sponsor of tailgating and right now when you spend $129 you can score two pounds of fully cooked chicken wings plus 50% off-site wide at Omaha stakes dot com slash V S I N don't wait spend $129

24:45hitting um who you being as a I'll get the exact numbers for you here Kelly thank you but lost on a valentine vassaro because we lost a tiebreaker so I knew that wasn't going to go our way that's never how many times I told you stop betting her but you know it's a him but okay or him or and him lost a valentine vassaro is a plus one 58 dog to the Sebastian quarter but hit on who you being plus one twenty five versus Fabian Maro's on and then also on Kimberly Barale plus 117 versus Rebecca Sram cova so tennis is back baby let's do it what's the uh pumped walked in and saw them playing right at condo playing this morning yes how do they how do they dress this tournament up like it's like a nation thing well that's the United Cup I'm not betting oh okay because that's team tennis I'm not betting I'm betting all the other ones in Brisbane Hong Kong and Auckland I love it this time of year Australia just gets in like it's just invaded by tennis turn that's right soon will be an Adelaide when we three weeks in a row and then they turn them into a Melbourne

25:48for the Aussie oh man but Adelaide Adelaide still the best city in Australia Auckland and Brisbane to Adelaide and Melbourne Scott C Gill I love the Monday recap so I hope you're with me saying you did get a oh I hope you're with me saying you did get a little Todd turning blue trying to squeeze in the Baltimore Pittsburgh game before break that game was epic just epic think about that what was it like 13 to 10 and then it ends up crazy is probably crazy is quarter of the season I'm not going to call it the best game of the season Lamar stepped it up when he had to well he's like oh there he is and Aaron Rogers listen when you don't pressure Aaron Rogers he's still Aaron Rogers when there's no pressure on him he can bring it back yeah uh Square Bob 2022 Seahawks won 10 games in 2024 the Bears won five you say Ben Johnson doesn't have a chance explain how the turn around for the Bears isn't at the same levels of Seahawks winning four more games somebody asked how to hedge their Miami Hurricanes to get circa no minus 380

26:50Square Bob 2022 trying to clear up or clean up a few things um Ben Johnson was spectacular this year spectacular and it might have been the greatest coaching job there is but I was just making the comparison between variable and McDonald I don't think Ben Johnson ultimately wins it because I think people will look at the fact that their turnover ratio was what plus 22 in the end and my hunch is that enough voters will look at that and be like well you kind of did get this unsustainable best of that right that was really the driver of your season as much if not more than anything that's why I feel he has no chance it's no knock on his coaching job he did a great job um Dave Ross is hoping that Brian shot an Imer kids is that you hope and Brian shot an Imer gets fired Dave really come on Zach Cohen saying about tennis almost feel like it never stopped because it kind of didn't amen six weeks off was great

27:53Jason H 11 I wouldn't mind if my giants hired Stefansky um numbers guy saying you haven't been hitting refresh on the recent picks page the last three months like me best of luck down under really look forward to your insight what is he talking about here oh he's talking about Mr tennis picks he's missed the tennis picks yeah hey listen we're back it's so I'm again and it's in Australia so I do the handicapping during the day as I'm sure Zach does as well so I can't really give out the picks on the show because the way that the time zones work haven't handicapped for the next night if you will Michael Harrison I want a t-shirt that just says a numbers game with Gill Alexander on visa and what are we doing? Merle Betts today I extended my running streak to 365 days while watching Gill and Kelly couldn't think of a better way to get it done channeling Greg Peterson thanks guys 365 in a row good for you Merle Betts and James Sott Adam Burke speaks the truth somehow finding a kicker saved the GM's job when he couldn't find a quarterback I

28:55didn't know we picked up former NFL MVP Mark Mosley Mark Mosley former Brown as well so we went to play after he was in Washington 1982 NFL MVP Mark Mosley Kelly oh it was a different time let's recap the bets I made a lot not on the two not on the first game between the Panthers and Rams and none of the last game between the Texas dealers but everything in between I'm on the bears there you go guy who was giving me trouble about my take on Ben Johnson on the bears they're not playing the Rams though as stated on the screen they are playing the Packers some of the versus the Packers I am on the Jags on the money line versus the bills I think the wrong team is favorite is wrong team is favorite there I took the Niners plus three and a half at the Eagles and I got the Chargers both ATS at the Patriots plus three and a half and I sprinkled some on the money line plus 161 sprinkle me sprinkle me sprinkle me Ming I the only line

29:56though that did surprise me Kelly though if you really want to about just not bettable but what was the line that surprised me the bills being the favorite at Jacksonville me too and I know it's just you know one and a half point here one and a half point there whatever it is one point here still and then the awards and the the NFL features and college football features that remain alive here be John offensive player the year 150 to one Mike McDonald coach of the year nine to one and I made the case earlier how is Mike McDonald not going to be the coach of the year what what else could they have done and then the Super Bowl finalist matchups I have both involving the Chargers Chargers Rams 28 to one Chargers Niners 66 to one I think I want to add something I just don't know what yet though and then Indiana the one that's the most live of any of these Indiana to win the college football championship 10 to one I could make up for a lot of errors that one Kelly Bill and what do you got I got a lot to oh and I villain always stay today in the FCS championship but completely riding Randy McKay yes yes yes I yes I mind it's on mine too but I

30:59wanted to bring it up because yes Randy absolutely Taylor Randy on this one just dying laughing because I'm texting off texting a friend friend Nate was convinced this is an Illinois Illinois state guy went the Illinois state like man a lot of sharp dudes on your squad today goes yeah I went to Southern Illinois but thanks it's like it's like when I pop my Achilles and my buddy one is like how's your knee doing I'm like my knee is great one thanks for asking my Achilles on the other hand trouble let's try to give you some love Nate sorry man. All right NBA tonight 76 years team total over one 21 and a half you can probably get a little bit better number than that now because that totals come down a little bit with Denver coming into town reminder Nicole Yokech out but they did get some help back this weekend Aaron Gordon and Christian Brown both back in the lineup for the nuggets so be interesting to see watch them here over their next few games and then I laid five and a half with the blazers tonight Utah Jazz coming into town Illinois

32:00state we already talked already talked about plus 10 and a half and Drake may just wanted to note this plus 150 I did buy on some of that last night just a Stafford hedge there before yesterday and felt can I just interject this I have never seen so many great NBA handicappers struggle so violently as I am right now. I only had a good weekend Oh good for you. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I haven't two weekend I think I had a lot of bets. Okay. All right. Tell me the middle and accepted. I mean look out was my month of December for sure. All right six point teaser Packers up to seven and a half Jags up to seven and a half bet the Jags on the money line as well even money there laid three with the Eagles at 115 laid three with the Texans on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. There you go. You know what I'm a little surprised by that line too, Gil that it opened two and a half. Ray Ravens. I guess you are a better team than the Texans. Well, I just I mean, you're already a road favorite. I didn't think you'd get the full three. I mean Pittsburgh

33:00deserves a little respect for being Pittsburgh and having air Rogers. I thought based on that performance yesterday. That's why I didn't give it the three Adam Burke Montana state. He's op-o Randy McCannus. He's taking Montana state minus the 10 college football semi. He's got Miami minus three and a half versus Ole Miss and he's taking the over in the Miami Ole Miss semi on Thursday and college hoops today Oregon minus six at Rutgers. Sunch, the state University of New Jersey. Copyright Chris Feligia. Real quick before we because any mall tours on the other side will get his his contest situation. A co-host of the deep dive with Drew Dinsick. Come back player of the year in our last 30 seconds. Oh, yes, you are not convinced that it's going to Christian McCaffrey. I'm not. Who do you think is going to? I think Trevor Lawrence is live. I think you're right. I think Trevor Lawrence is live. I think you're right. I think that's out of it.

Gill Alexander from Circus Studios here at Lovely Circus or Circus, you know, downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Kelly is a mooney in the middle here. I've slid over to the right because our next guest, kind enough to join us in studio. We didn't plan this, but we knew that he's leaving town here, so we wanted to get him in. And by the way, let me just say I owe him an apology. Probably doesn't know this. But we always have Drew Dinsick on. Drew Dinsick is his partner ever. They're podcasts the deep dive with Drew Dinsick. Drew is always on a numbers game weekly. He comes on the megapod. And because Drew is on, I, I rarely invite Andy to do stuff. And I feel terrible about this. It's a big oversight. Andy Molador joins us live in studio right now. You can follow him on Twitter at Andy, MSFW. So my apologies to you, sir. Accepted. Thank you. I'm glad to get the text from you this morning. And it was kind of waking up here,

36:08trying to figure out what time it is on the west. Yeah, I don't see Drew in town having to. Yeah. I cast them. You know, contest and everything. Forget that guy. Come on. We're team Andy this morning. All right. First, before we get into your story here on, on, on circuit millions, when can people, when, when do the deep dive episodes come out for people typically weekly to get every day? Every day. We do them every day. Now we're doing morning shows. We're going to adjust the little this week. We're going to actually do our big podcast on Wednesdays in the afternoon, going through all the games. But we're going to push it to Thursday. I want, I want extra injury news. You know, it just doesn't work during the season with TNF. Yes. I want all the injury news for this week. Although, and I got a couple bets. I'm firing. Okay. There's some, there's some lines I don't care for right now. Save that for, for the end of this, because I want to get your opinion on this. So you are, you were all up in this circuit millions contest. I had no idea. Where did you stand before this weekend? I didn't really have a much of an idea either. I just passed on my picks. Drew, he sends me to the proxy.

37:09And it was kind of a middling start to the season. And then after Thanksgiving, we hit this stride, both of us, where we just every week, everything was hitting almost. It's the most fun feeling and betting. You can't, and you can't walk away from a heater, which obviously you're not going to bet NFL every week, but it just kept going. And somebody mentioned that they were doing well. And I'm like, I should check mine, because I just use my plays and I look, I'm like, I'm in 42nd place in the whole dang thing. Oh my god. I wish I had, because that was two weeks ago. And then I got nervous. You're right. Because I'm just vibe, you know, vibe sending. Like, oh, here's the games I played this week. Like the lines are pretty close. It's our cat here here. Drew, this is what I like. And I got real nervous. I ended up going four and one last week. And moving to 25th. But then it gets real serious. Yeah. And I started to, you know, put together a little spreadsheet to figure out, you know, some hedging strategies, and who other people had picked, you don't get the picks out. To the public until it was like half time of the Niners game, I think. Oh, right.

38:09I'm sitting in my office. We just done half time. I'm. Eatily D in figuring out. I got it loaded up. I tested it with the week 17 pick. So I can be ready. And I look and I look at the differences. What's the difference? I can be ready. And I look and I look at the differences. What if things go perfect? I got to fly. I got to fly out. You got to fly out. I'm at the office. It's like 9.30 at night. I'm texting my wife. Saturday. Yeah. Saturday. Yeah. Saturday 9.30 and I text away. If I'm going out. I'm going to head out. Your wife was, was understanding. Yeah. She was. Oh, yeah. Well, I don't know. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. That was. Yeah, that was. Yeah, that was half time. I said. I'm like, I gotta head. Make sure. How much of the quarterly pollute this because you are involved in the quarter like so. Yeah, the quarter. The quarterly is tough and congrats to those guys, because I mean, somebody who look at him, we went like 21 in 4-1 in four. So what's your name? What was your team's? Two different entries?

39:09Deep dive two. Deep dive to mine. So you look at the standings. We're looking at in front of us on a monitor here and I'm just below that. I was like a half point out of the fourth quarter. I think that the chop for the fifth place. So I could have got some of that if the Falcons hadn't falconed things up, but such as life and I went to bed, I texted Benson, texted the credit guy said, I'm going to bed. Let me know in the morning, woke up. Yeah. Come out, credit. Good. And I woke up three in the morning, drove the airport, got out here and so what did you end up, what was your final, was your record this week and what did you end up hedging on? I went four and one, again, I'm just off the, yeah, I'm just the full season. You're one. Yeah. I think on the, on the tweet on the official graph, you get from the circuit, it's 57 and a half is the, the cutoff, I was, I ended up with 57 points. Wow. So yeah, that's, I've ever done for sure. And I, I think it's, I think it was, it's like 30k for the, so it was like 16th place.

40:09Yeah. T 16. T 16. Yep. That's finished. Yeah. Congratulations, man. That's awesome. You went four and one. So you lost some money. Yeah, it was, it was nice to get, yeah, go up there and get my saints money after the, you know, the Falcons crushed me, but yeah, there's a, you know, there was a little here and there where we went back and forth. And should we take this and should I, should I take the Ravens? But the biggest thing was going into the night game, that's the biggest swing. I had the Steelers plus three and a half. So you have the advantage of, yeah, I can bet against a dog, I can bet in the final game, I know where I'm at. So the games are finishing, I go up, I go upstairs real quick, punch it in the computer. I figure out what the difference is. I can't look at, you know, what we should do, what the exact head should be. It's at Steelers plus three and a half in the contest. I walk over to the cage, give me some more of those tokens. I'm going to bring them more to the sports book. I walked to the sports book, 10 minutes to spare maybe. Ravens minus four and a half, the line at the top. Oh, yeah.

41:10So it's like, are we spying a point? And is it am I taking Ravens plus or Ravens minus three and a half, like minus 140, I suppose at that point? Or am I just saying, oh, just, we'll just gut it out here. So I said, maybe the Steelers will start hot. Maybe the Steelers will start hot, don't get an even better number in this pie and this guy notion did not happen if you caught that game. There were some spots when it, when it ended up tied there, I did lay off a little bit with the, the Ravens. How much of your brain space did this consume for the entire week? I, it was a bad week at work. Yeah, just trying to get, trying to get anything done. It was, I was just thinking about this and I'm sure you can't go 10 minutes without thinking about it. I'm, I'm almost happy. It's over. I'm pumped. Yeah. I'm the pump to the splash too. You know, it's such a grind getting through the NFL season, but man, there's, there's some good matchups this week. All right. So let's talk about it. For someone who finished in, by the way, congratulations Andy, T16 is an amazing accomplishment. Are you one of these guys will put it in your Twitter bio that you were T16? I should.

42:10I haven't. I haven't updated my Twitter bio and yours. Yeah. I did that as a joke. Yes. That quarter. I said it. I was like, let's see how long it takes for someone to call me out. Then I forgot about it. Like a month later, I was like, I should tell you it was like T143. So I was in it in the last week and then nothing. All right. So what were the wild card lines where you were like, oh, I like this. Yeah. And it's funny. Drew and I did a show this morning, which that was a, I kept looking at my, my phone and it was like waking me up and like, I got an hour before I got to go in there. I can sleep 10 more minutes. Like this is, this is rough as far. We stayed up late. Matt, Matt kept us out late at Barry's last night. Matt Brown. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't imagine that. Great conversation with him at Barry's, but I was up late. We sat down and it was great because we were real, uh, sympathico on, on the Jaguars. I don't, I don't quite understand whether or not favor me to what Cohen has done with that offense is it's, we talked about the what team scare you in the playoffs. And I think in the AFC, it is the Jaguars. It's, it's absolutely them, the, the offense where it's, where it's come from the beginning

43:13of the season to be like, oh, this Trevor Liam thing isn't working to where they're at now. If there were, if there was ever a line that can be accused of being historical and not based on the season, it's that one because it just feels like it's, it's, it's based on priors from previous years. Yeah. I'm looking forward to Josh Allen, uh, racking up five touchdowns on us and that's all losing. Yeah. I was the Jaguars. Which, which one besides, which one besides this was, I agree with you completely. The other egregious one is 10 points at home. I don't think I can bet it though. I, it's just, I say, yeah, I guess they have my power numbers and where I said, I told to do, I'm like, even if I set the Rams at the highest number that I've set any team at this season, I've never had anyone really above a seven and put them at a seven and a half. They're on the road. Take away a point and a half. Six points better. Plus another four. So you're saying the Jaguars, excuse me, the Carolina Panthers are four points worse than a neutral team. Like they're not great, but it's, it's so many. I don't think I'll have the, I don't think I'll have the balls to do it.

44:16Yeah. I'm with you. I guess there's an angle there. And I think it might be the over, depending if, if Quentin Lake doesn't play or, uh, honestly, I think the Rams just might score 30 and that's the problem. I'm with you. I thought that was a little too high. Last thing in the last 30 seconds, Annie Molotor from the deep dive podcast, which she does with, with our buddy Drew Dinsick, did you do anything different this year to get these results or was it the same process you always have? And if so, what's that process? Not, not a ton, you know, Drew and I have same kind of meaning. We started doing the daily shows, which maybe that was helpful because, yeah, you know, Monday mornings, we'd spend a little more time with the openers, a little more, I'd spend a little more time in the injuries. Still wasn't betting a lot of early lines, but, and honestly, keeping up with the injuries and kind of talking it back and forth. Wait, that's something we said eight years ago when we were first doing the podcast halfway through that first season. We both said it. I'm like, I think a better at this this year because we're talking it out, talking out. Andy Molotor, everybody, congratulations, Andy, T6 needed millions. Prop points next and join from Veecin.
