Series X of channel 189, Gil Alexander Kelly Midland
on this Friday Steve Fesick. Driving in furiously for his appearance for Fesick Fridays later on, he's got a lot on his mind. He also has some guest on guest crime coming up. He didn't like what Chris said about the brownies earlier. That's coming up. No, he did not. And you know, a Fesick doesn't like something. Clearly he's 100% confident in his opinion on it. It's got to be correct. That's right. Also, we were just talking about stuff randomly. Well, I was laughing that you were bringing up this documentary. Yeah, we did a whole Florida State Miami Florida conversation in the break. And I ended it. I watched before the game started yesterday. This 14 days in Gainesville 30 for 30 they have. I had heard it was good. Oh, I had to and I have yet to see it. It's really good. And I'm glad you said it before I did. I'm like, I just don't like, I don't remember any of us. Remember this at all. I mean, it's early 90. This was 1990 Steve Spurrier's first season in Gainesville just gets there. So they're doing like summer practices and there's a there's a serial killer on the
loose in Gainesville. I know. I did about this. It was five five students murdered before they played their first game. Anyway, I said I was laughing about this. Obviously not what I was laughing about. What was laughing about is that is spoiler alert. Judge spoiler alert that you said. Maybe I shouldn't even talk about it. But you there is a there was a term that used to be used. For people that just I don't think it's spoiler went around from town to town. It was a drifter. It was just some drifter. The term drifter is just one of these old school serves that it just nobody uses it anywhere. A drifter. What did a drifter do? He just like bill bixby a credible hog from town town. Don't know. I don't know. I would they need you. We should not be laughing about this. I was talking here. I was talking to a friend the other day about like things we grew up having to worry about. You know what? Like all it took was one guy right to put like razor blades and apples and for every year you went out on Halloween. Your mom had to be like be careful. And you know, I don't think there are any there's a single documented case of anybody ever
putting a razor blade in an apple. Exactly. Yes. But there is documented cases apparently of drifters ending up in college towns and murdering. We were traumatized by that. It's kids like oh, don't eat the apple. It's crazy. Remember the syringes and movie theaters? Yeah. There was like well be careful movie theaters you might sit down on a syringe. That's your rifter. It's like I've just picked your old school shows and narrator going you know a vagrant a drifter. Well, it's fun. No, what is funny the way you asked it because I was watching that documentary and I'm like, God, I don't remember this. And they do not remember it. And it's a 30 for 30 right? So it is very much half on the football team, half on this criminal case going on. And you're like, well, I'm like, I've got to watch to the end. Spoiler because I don't know who the killer is. To eat to beat the book. Mark but here props to Chris Vellica for great game prep going into the Megapod. promptly interrupting Todd every time he spoke, beating Todd on his own turf. Oh, we have to talk about the Megapod for a second, which is thank you to everybody again. Fantastic numbers. The live. So we do this live on Twitter.
Yeah, sorry, by the way, I was getting these tweets last night. I was very confused. We got we got the pod tons of these last night. By the way, if you want to subscribe to the beating the book of Megapod, guessing guessing lines on there as well, please scan the QR code on your screen. Thank you guys. The live show that we do, which is aired on Twitter, it's janky. Like we can't there's four streams. There's four of us and if anybody's Wi-Fi is not good, Todd wish now. If anybody's Wi-Fi is not up to par, Todd wish now. Then it creates a lag and it's a tough listening experience. And we have we had a lot of people getting angry about it yesterday. The lags tough. The I promise you the podcast itself, yes, the old audio version is pristine. Somehow the magic of the system we use while I'm checking shout out to Wyatt makes all of it okay. But yes, the live version of it is we really got to do better on that. So I hear the complaints on that. Believe me, I was dealing with it yesterday. We'll work on that.
But yes, the audio version is still podcast on. That's correct. The quality as you always were. I scrub through last night. It sounds great up there. William falsetta. I couldn't hear what team bear was talking about being punished must have been Michigan. No, it was actually man sitting. We were talking about in the in the prim and then Patrick Kelly. I would take the cold to Washington bet. So long as the bet was in 1985, St. Elmo's fire and included a date with Demi Alley. Andy, who's the fourth one? I'm going to know who the fourth one is. Demi Moore, St. Elmo's fire, 1985 at the peak of her powers. All right, week four national football league. We have a London game. London town Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Colts, skins, Colts up to a four point favorite now. Is this true? Yeah, four three and a half. You can get both. Jayden made the trip. I don't know if he's playing, but he got on the plane. Okay, can we just start right there? Yeah. Like in your heart of hearts. Yes, sir. We'll keep my heart and all of my heart.
I really understand that. Okay, all of my hearts and then my specific heart of all those. Okay, got it. You've located what percent chance do you give Jayden Daniels playing in this game? Playing or starting? Starting. 4.7%. Okay, playing? Well, we'll have something happens in Mario. I mean, I don't know if he's going to be active, but like why are you making the trip then? This is where I'm a little confused. I have a feeling the way this news has just developed over the past several days. I don't know, man. I think there's probably more of a live chance of him playing and starting this game. Well, I mean, the official word is that Marcus Mario is starting. Dan Quinn confirmed on Friday that Jayden Daniels remains out while recovering from a dislocated elbow. I came down this morning. Meaning, yeah, Mario will get his second straight start for Sunday's game in London. So that is that that's the word. But again, Jayden made the trip.
In practice. Okay. Interesting. I mean, we talked about that a little bit yesterday. I guess like with an elbow and your non throwing arm who really cares about the travel thing, but I still want to left him at home. If you're going to announce on Friday that he's not playing. Well, they're saying he's out also. So I guess he's not even suiting up at this point. Yeah. So maybe he's just like he's just chilling. Okay. Yeah. Well, well, we wasted everybody's time with that. No, no, anyway, if it came down this morning, that's news. I thought this was going to be three the whole time. It was three. It's now four. Not sure I really get that so much. It'd be washing or anything, but it's a London game. I want no part of this. Many of their do lean colds. I'm a little bit interested in like a I think colds team total over is probably the way I would look here. I this is one of the softer defenses that the colds have had to go up against so far. I think they're able to move the ball pretty easily. I don't know what you're going to get on the Washington side of things. So if anything, I would that would be my lean is team total over on the colds. Okay. This by the way, we had one of the mega mega pot questions that we always end the mega pod with is
if you had to pick a if you had to bet every game on the side, but you got one free pass. What's the game you want? No part of I think there were more games. I want to know part of this week than any other week. I could remember there's a lot. There's a lot of games where I'm like, I just don't know what was wondering where you're going with that. Because that I don't think this one's even in my top three. Yeah. Patriots at Bill Sunday morning. Bill's favorite by seven. Is this the game where the bills throw up a conquer? Because you know, they're they're always good for one at some. Oh, totally. But is this the one? I don't think so. I did bet the bills light six and a half was at two nights ago. I would know we talked about it quick on the show yesterday. This is mainly back up to sevens everywhere. Christian Gonzalez question. Well, there's multiple multiple key guys questionable for the Patriots. Gonzalez bar more on the defensive front there. I think there was this had come down to six and a half. We talked about it the other day, but quarterback injury questions kind of on both sides. What's this whole Drake May shoulder thing?
Josh Allen entered the week a little banged up. He's been practicing though. So I think just him practicing. Gil was enough for the market to go back to seven. Drake and Drake May's confidence is shot. It's it's I'm okay. I'm not going to be as bullish as Drew. This is a smaller bet for me. But his attitude of kind of betting the bills until this thing falls off. I get that side of it. And I also get the side of like bet against the Patriots. Well, this is just continues to be a disaster. Jesse Bagoula saying that when her tennis career is over, she will happily run things for her dad's sports empire. Are you being serious? Are they messing with me? No, big sirs. That's awesome. Yeah. That's awesome. Bears three point position. Bears three point favorites hosting the jets. This is another one. It's like. Okay, so this one's in my top three of games. I don't want. I have no no interest in betting at all. Total or side. I know. I mean, you don't know. You don't we don't know who we're getting a cornerback still. Right? This one unlike the skins. This one we really don't know. Yeah, we don't know. Beijing. Beijing or Keenum. We don't know. Important to say we talked about the other way.
Important to say though Ben Johnson did back up after their game on Sunday. That like, Hey, Beijing had won the backup job. Like if you any's healthy, he'll play, but they have not announced an official starter yet. So want to keep right over. I love Keenum in the locker room. Afterwards, you could tell like. He just he feels like his career was sort of taken away from him at different times. Good for him. What would stick to it? iveness all these years later. Arizona Cardinals two and a half point road favorites against Jamis and the Giants. This is the game I want no part of. Yeah, this is number one on my list. When this spread was literally flipped at open, I put the Cardinals in a teaser. So I am involved at current price. I'm with you, Gil. I want nothing to do on the side. Totally no over. I think actually think we see some points from these guys. This is going to be better weather, easier defense for Jamis in this offense. And then Arizona, you and I have talked about it all year long. I still think it's a pretty good offense over there. Nothing would surprise me.
This is applies to almost every Arizona Cardinals game. Yeah, the spread. Nothing would surprise me. Cowboys at Texans Texans are full three point favorite at O and three. Cowboys could very well have been O and three. They could also have been two and one as well. But they're one and two Texans trying to put them at one and three Texans trying to get off the Schneid. The proverbial must win situation for the Houston Texans. Yeah, this is a this is where they're Kelly and the square bears are getting that feeling on a Friday. Like we're heading into the the sharp buds buzz saw with the old Texan Houston Texans because I haven't fully understood this line all week. Uh, Texans only three Nico Collins back at practice. That was enough to move this from two and a half to three. Worth noting though, Joey, Joey Porter, Jr. A Dallas Cowboy and expected to play this Sunday. That back injury he's been suffering through all for three weeks. He'll just automatically feel weird and then funny how that works. So yeah, I still like the Cowboys here. Full three. I played them in teasers earlier the week. It is it is worth noting about the Texans.
You just they just have not had their full alignment of receivers. Collins for front of that. We'll get to more games week four in the National Football League. I've made four different bets. We haven't gotten any of them yet. That's next Numbers Game. Veecin, the sports betting network.

We have a little little community setup for Vieson. I made a post this morning. I'm a part. I'm an active part of the community. Oh, injury news. Kill. Yes, sir. Chad Kelly. Remember Chad Kelly. Quarterback Chad Kelly. Yeah, he's been tearing it up in the CFL out this weekend for the Argos against BC Lions. That's what you stopped the show for.
Sorry, it just popped up. I thought it was funny. Man, man, it's like a squirrel. We get to a speed in the book. Dr. Van Noesstra at Rambo was a drifter. Oh, yeah, that's right. Rambo was a drifter. The best is the incredible Hulk though. His bill bixby. You want to like him when he gets mad. And then he had to leave town because people saw him turn green into a green monster. So he had to leave town. Was that the was that the original show? That was the TV show. Okay. Bill Bixby. Yeah. And never watched that version. That's that's what happened. He just he got angry. Yeah, he would have to go reset his life. First through his clothes. He became a big green monster. But people saw him turn into it. So he had to leave town. It's a tough life, man. And those days like you can barely couldn't follow him from town to town. They're like, oh, we don't know. He's gone now. He's gone. That's right. Where's that green monster at? That's right. He's just left. Clint Eastwood, I don't even know which character this is. Is this outlaw Jesse Wales? Is that is that the ultimate drifter? Jason H 11. He has a picture of Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood probably played a drifter in like 17 Westerns. Feels like it makes more sense back then. Oh, cheap prop bets. This is good. Remember we were talking about the razor blade in the apple. We were traumatized by that as kids. He says, remember when there was this thing about pop rocks and soda? If you combine those two things, they would kill you. That was totally a thing. Yeah, what? Because there was a rumor that somebody had died from that. They mixed pop rocks with soda. They just died on the spot. Well, I don't remember being like warned about it for safety reasons. I remember being like told how cool it was. Oh, no. It's totally like don't do that. Because like that works. That's a thing. Dan Groschel, please don't read my complaint about the megapod as being a complaint out of anger. It's tough, but I don't get angry about it. I was enjoying the info and entertainment value provided. No, Dan, I wasn't even thinking about you. There's more than you as at least five or six people who are like, I can't do the live version. This isn't a podcast, much less frustrating. Shrek McFeee listening on Delay Today's and driving from the STL to Florida for vacation,
keeping the megapod in pocket for the final 100 miles. LFG, let's have a week. Thank you, Shrek. Scott B. Kyle Menungai, over eight and a half Russian attempts. He has had 10 attempts in each of his last three games. Like it. Do you like that one? I do. Okay. Oh, but yeah, a few people letting us know Daniel's not playing. Yeah, we got to it eventually. It took us a second. Jason Stark taking my medicine, damn Steelers D, disappointed on the final drive, definitely longest dragged out game in history. Oh, it was interminable last night. Still can't believe that drive. I'm not even going with the game. It's like the longest drive by number of minutes. I've ever seen because of the penalties and the plays and running the clock. Kelly's gonna talk about this the rest of the show. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. P five legends, Gilles similar to an MLB manager, setting a short staff of pictures and relievers for a five game division series. Who would make your playoff roster of handicapers? Wow. He says my recommendations are for Dr. Bob. Dr. Bob is the number one hurler and wish Neve as closer given his in-game prowess.
I love those two picks. Love those two picks. I'd have to think about the three in the middle. Monty in the middle. LFC title records. Is it a physique Friday? If so, what's more believable? His hair is natural color or Darnell Washington waist 264. Darnell Washington is the largest human being I've ever seen in my life. I have like three comments on this. Glad someone tweeted about this. Darnell Washington. First of all, in the broadcast, yes, this note was brought up, right? And he's losing the 260 pounds. How could that possibly be? I'm pretty sure I heard Kirk Herbstreet say he was 300 pounds, like five times after that. Just like, I don't know, really emphasize that there was no way that was possible. Also, how does he not get far more targets? I feel like every time I'm watching this guy play, he's catching a ball and nobody can tackle him and he's rumbling and stumbling for like 22 yards. He's very good. Yeah, I know. And then I did have a couple because we said Atlanta was a bad sports town. Were we talked about that? A couple of pushbacks from Atlanta folks. Spence.
Hey, guys, one thing about Braves Day Games versus Night Games, there is limited parking around the stadium. The team co-ops local business parking, office park type places, but the companies are working during the day, so no parking from the majority of fans. Got a couple folks from the ATL who are unhappy with that characterization. All right, noted. Let's continue. Jaguars at Bengals. Sunday morning. I do have a bet on the Jaguars here. I bought it up to plus three. Just think they're the better football team. I think if you just look at the first three games of the season for both teams, Jags could very well be three and oh Bengals. I mean, they get Tampa Bay three gift fumbles from Baker Mayfield in game one, barely beat the bucks in the end, but they needed all those fumbles. They lose to the Steelers. In between, they beat the Texans who haven't won a game yet. I don't really know what the Bengals are. I got the Jaguars. I was very surprised that they were, that they were this big of a dog plus three. Thank you very much. Jags in several teasers from me this week.
Love that at two and a half. Don't you buy it up to three makes complete sense and it was a bit of a sprinkle on the money line for me as well. So yeah, we are big Jags guys again this week. Let's go. They haven't they haven't done this wrong yet. Green Bay Packers at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jalen Daniels from Kansas is your starter for the bucks in Baker Mayfield's absence. This was four. Now the Packers back down to three and a half on the road because the Packers haven't done anything to inspire confidence. Want no part of this game. Talk about games you want no part of. No thank you. Yeah, this is one where like I know the totals low. I still couldn't go over with what these teams have looked like so far. I mean the Packers can't get anything going on the ground. No running bags. He got offensive line injuries. No, I'm just playing bad on the offensive line too. Yeah, nothing side or total for me. All right. Also early Rams Eagles. Rams now favored by three and a half. They continue to take money. I don't know what the Eagles are. So this is jumped this open to and a half. We are through the three now.
In to three and a half. You're probably going to hear it a lot before this game, but this is Sean McVase like ultimate enemy right. Vic Fangio. They have very good record Eagles do against the Rams over the past few years here. I just don't this Eagles offense is a disaster. Well, the Eagles the Eagles defense was supposed to be super elite. We haven't really seen that. It's been okay. Yeah. It's been okay, but I'm with you. Like I expected a little better. I I was worried about some of these offensive struggles before the season, but it's looked worse than I was even worried about. So man, I the no way I could get on the Philadelphia side, but we're through the three now. I'm not laying three and a half drew. Dinsick brought it up earlier in the week. This is about is bad of a not not singular week to week travel spot. Right, but just cumulative travel over the start of the season for the Rams. You just don't really see things like this. So I think it's I can't wait to watch this game. Stay away from me though. Titans at Ravens biggest spread on the board. Ravens favored by 11 and a half. Lamar okay for this. He's all right.
Oh, yeah, man. Well, I don't know unless you know something more from yesterday, but we're this this came up over my Twitter feed on Wednesday. Lamar Jackson mispractice on Wednesday. If Danny Higgins is out there listening, he'll back me up. Lamar Jackson doesn't practice on Wednesdays. We're back to that. They give Lamar Jackson like the day off. So he had full participation yesterday. There you go. I was surprised to see the reaction about that on Wednesday. Like he does this every single year. So I think he's fine. I expect to see him. I do have the Ravens as a part of my 13 point teaser for the week. Ravens and Vikings are per our survivor segment earlier in the week are the natural survivor selections. They are the biggest spreads. It's not often doesn't often work out that way, but in terms of future value, they are. Here is the Vikings. The Vikings are 10 and a half point favorites. Hosting the dolphins. It's one thing to be a survivor selection. It's a whole another thing about laying the the wood here. Can you trust the Vikings offense laying 10 and a half?
They have been putrid on offense. Worst yards per play in the league, but the defense. I'll keep saying it. I don't know how the dolphins score. So. Error go your 10 and a half point spread, which way you go here. Yes, it's just pulling up some of the EPA numbers. You got the Miami dolphins with a higher offensive EPA so far on the season. Then the Minnesota Vikings. That's how bad the offense has been so far for Minnesota. I think this is the Kyler Murray wake up game. We kind of see him finally get his feet underneath him. He has a big game. You laid the points. I played the under it open. It's kind of similar thinking here. How does Miami score? No Devon H and anymore. That offense just gets more and more limited. So I laid nine and a half earlier in the week minus one 13. Broncos at nineers. Nineers favored by two and a half. And I don't want any part of this game and it's a good game. Yeah, I think I think this is the best game this week. Am I missing one? This is the game I'm looking forward to watching the most. I look. I'm playing a lot of teasers, but the Denver Broncos are not one of those teasers legs.
It's Brock Toborgill. It's officially here. The Calamers flipped. You know, the guys playing really well. I can't wait to watch this game. Two teams. I am Ion. All right. We got two or three more games. I believe left. And no, and week four to get to. And we'll talk some baseball on the other side. Steve Fesick, top of the hour. It's a numbers game at Vison.

Gill Alexander tweets, beating the book. Best listeners ever. Have I mentioned that? We never know what we're going to say or what what is tweeted in that sort of sports people into their own tweets. But it's always interesting. Bees bets watching this no vac match on bed MGM almost sounds like they have a laugh track in the background, not fan applause. It's that time of year. That time of year on the tennis store. Charlie D USA number one, oh, they Clint Eastwood drifter, when we was high planes drifter. That picked tense says this guy was faunze was Arthur Fonzarella. Was it Arthur Fonzarella? Was he a drifter? No. No. Well, he maybe he was. I'm going to show I can't see enough. I can't remember the background on on Arthur Fonzarella on happy days. Joey Kiska. Okay, this, oh, so you guys are the best. So we're so we had the tweet earlier about the rumor where we're kids that if you mixed pop rocks with soda, you could die. Joey Kiska correctly at and others correctly says it was Mikey from the life
serial commercial. He was the pop rocks rumor guy. So yes, they it's so true that Mikey the driver rumor was that Mikey. Hey, let's get Mikey. He eats everything. That's what it was. Yeah. So apparently Mikey in real life died of a combination of pop rocks and soda. That was the rumor. Well, okay, wait. I don't know this one. So we did he actually die and then people thought after I don't think I don't think it was true. I just think it just spread like wildfire across this great nation. Little Mikey fictional boy played by John Gilchrist in an American television commercial promoting Quaker Oates breakfast serial life. Thank you. Joey Kiska. Jason Buchanan having the the dome light on in the car at night while the parents were driving would cause a car accident instantly. That's a great one. Also, you're ever heard that. John, wait, if you turn the light on in the car while you're driving your parents would get super mad. Turn the light off. We'll get an accident. Oh my god.
This is my favorite. This is my Jason Buchanan. That is one of the great nuance tweets all all time. There is nothing that triggered my father, Thad Biddle, and more than that. You were in a car ride at night and you like I dropped something, turn on the light. Why don't you off the light? I can't see anything. I can't see anything. That's right. But by the way, it doesn't affect you at all. Sometimes as an adult, I'm just sitting at a stoplight and I just like turn on the light off the light. I'm like, this really isn't that much worse. It's basically the same thing. Skitzel 360. What about the drugs in the Halloween candy? People really thought someone would put drugs in your kids candy for free. This is where this is where this developed. It was the razor blade in the apple. And then it was like when I was a kid, it was kind of in between. There was some of that still going on and then some of the don't take any candy if it's not in a pre-package. Oh yeah. You got that. That's why the minis and the fun sizes became like a thing. So everybody can have a wrapped candy. Also, don't make your mom buy you an ape costume that is like made out of Kevlar.
Were you overheating and then vomit before the end of the night? Just let you know. I'm poor little girl. Yeah. Jordan. She's like, what costume ape? Ape. Thing was like at the dental office. That's how heavy it was. There's a lead vest. My brother's like, what's wrong with you? I'm like, I vomit all over the street. George Cox, the pop rock soda thing was that Mikey from the life serial commercial died from mixing. Yes. Thank you. George. That's correct. I didn't know this one, man. And John Gilchrist Jr. Still with us. It did, Chef. Yes. Yes. Total total. Someone made it up. I just wanted to make sure. Day money. Kelly just lost a few points. Not LOL. Not never never seeing the television version of the incredible Hulk television show. And then this is what? 1978. I know you too. You too young for that. And Delmine the gap radio Billy Bixby went from courtship of Eddie's father to the magician to the Hulk. Lufor, you know, as the Hulk, no AI. Los Vegas one 514. Yo, you go and way back brother. Little Mikey from the life serial commercial was the one who was the rumor to have died when he'd pop rocks and drinking coke.
I feel for it. On and on to the party. You guys are the best best listeners ever. Chiefs at Raiders late window Sunday, but also the late of the late, the 425 Eastern starts at a legend. 3 and O chiefs 3 and O Raiders. Something's gotta give the biggest game and lost Vegas Raiders history. Right? Probably is. Like it has to be right. Has to be nothing for me. Yeah, nothing. Chiefs are nothing. Do you think this could be a chiefs blow out? But yeah, nothing. Wish it was, wish it was a standalone game and I could go. I'll tell you the Raiders practice squad got a lot stronger this week though. Shout out to little low. You know what we failed to talk about when we talked about the, uh, the bucks and the packers. You get the Jalen Daniels code of the week. Yeah. He says you still don't understand it. It says you can't be a thermometer. I got to be the thermostat. Remember a thermometer. So don't take temperature. You set the temperature. Yeah, thermometer measures and displays thermostat.
Controls the climate. So was his point like don't go in and like learn from the team going as QB1. He's got to set. He's got to control the climate. So they're self explanatory. The man is a genius. All right. Chargers at sea hawks. Good on you, Jalen. 425 Eastern sea hawks favor by seven. I have the sea hawks minus six and a half from earlier in the week. I think that makes sense. I think if you're looking for a dance partner for a teaser, that makes sense. Uh, random. I'll just bring this up real quick. Texans out to three and a half over at Caesars. What is what that's what's going on? Sorry. That one just flashed. Actually at two moves at Caesars. That game in this game. Seven and a half. Oh, awesome. No one thinks your cowboys are any good. Point that out. It's not me. It's the market. I got nothing here. I think it's a play the points. Put Seattle and a teaser. I think you're good there. I do have some Seattle concerns. But I don't I don't think this current version of the charges. This one to take advantage of. Seattle can be ordinary. Losing to Washington shouldn't have lost.
Kind of like the under. And then there is this, though, the one that I liked the most on Monday, the Panthers, Sunday night football hosting the lions. Panthers are three and a half point dogs. I like the Panthers. Panthers offensive line troubles. They don't have their corners. And yet I still like the three and a half. Because I don't think the I think the lions are a civ at this point. I can't I can't knock you for it. It's the what did I tell what I say yesterday? It's my favorite pet that you've made all year. Then I haven't joined you out. I've got back at four. I was waiting for injury information all week. It's not it is not grab me. Look, Jalen Coker questionable on the offensive side. I was just pulling that up. I think he saw full participant in practice today is Jalen Coker, though. He's had a huge season for for the Panthers. That is big. Xavier would get doubtful for this game. So like you said, they've got problems defensive side of the ball and offensive side of the ball. Though I am seeing right here, Nick Scott, safety and Devon Lloyd both have been upgraded to probable for this game.
So they were concerns earlier in the week. That's good news. And then the Saints two and a half points for every skis the Falcons Monday night. This this just refuses to go to three. I'm looking forward to see Fazah coming in here in about 20 minutes and explaining to me why I'm dead wrong on this side. But yeah, I went I laid two and a half with the same. Oh, they'll tell you all right. Yeah, they'll tell you. All right. It's real basic. You and I said it from from Monday. Just how is this is week four of the season? It's early still. How is this just not a flat three? But like I'm an odds maker. I just would have been the easiest game to say. Yes, I spent 1.5 seconds guessing that line. Yeah, three had to be three. Nope. Two and a half. All right. Playoff picture. Again, we are to the division round now. All the wild card series are done after the braves dispatched the Phillies last night. Much of the chagrin of both me and Kelly with our bets. So you got the socks and the guardians in the American League. Yankees raise obviously braves Dodgers and then Padres brewers. We'll throw up the we'll throw up the series prices on all these. I'll say what I said when Jensen was on earlier,
which is when it comes to the white socks and guardians. I mean, the guardians have it all set up. They're the first game, by the way, chronologically on Saturday. It's a quadruple header where the guardians are minus 140 series favorites. White socks plus 120 on the comeback. Guardians have it set up. Yes. Messick Gavin Williams could combine to cover games. One, two, four and five on regular rest, if necessary. Not sure what the guardians are going to do with game three and starting rotation. But white socks one seven of 13 this year from the guardians. The aggregate score was 58 to 57 in Chicago's favor. Seven of the contest decided by one run for ending and walkoff fashion. Maybe it's foster Griffin in game three for the guardians. I don't advantage guardians to be just based on the starting pitching alone. And that bullpen at the back end with Kate Smith is great. So advantage guardians to me. Braves Dodgers second and chronological order Dodgers minus 230 on the series price. Braves plus 190. I just don't feel that this Dodgers offense is up to snuff. The Dodgers clearly they're starting rotation is spectacular.
Scooble, Yamamoto, on down the line. So they do have that advantage in a best of five series. But you got to score runs and I don't know. You know, if the Dodgers got bounced here, I would not be shocked because of that. As great as their starting pitching is. I don't know what we're getting from show hand. I don't know what we're getting from Freddie Freeman. I don't know what we're getting from Kyle Tucker. It's just it's just not as fierce as an offense. I hear you in Jensen. I respect you in Jensen. I played Dodgers to win game one in series at minus 120. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to scoff at the Dodgers. Yankees raise. Yankees starting pitch speaking of starting pitching. I mean, it's Garrett Cole in game one. He's the weak link if you can believe it or not. I like the game one series bet that you just made on the Yankees. I also bet that based off of your recommendation. Okay. Game one and series. Padre because of the win game one. They're one of the series for sure. Padre's brewers best on paper. Brewers minus 180 series favorites. I think the Padre's if they can have that offense cracking on all cylinders, they can overcome. Also shortening the game at the end. But man, the Miz is set up and the Miz is the Miz.
That's going to be awesome. If you like YouTube, you'll love YouTube Premium. Hi, I'm Sean Evans from Hot Ones and I want to tell you about YouTube Premium.

A number is game on Vsyn, Vs4s betting network. Back on the numbers game, live from Circus, Orcasino, downtown Las Vegas, Gil Alexander, Kelly Biddlin. I never really said which bets I was making on there. I think I'm going to bet the Yankees series. I'm going to do it right here, actually right now. You're going to do that bet you recommended game one in series. Uh, if I can find that, but I'm just going to bet plus 175. Okay. I'm going to bet that. I'm going to bet the Yankees on the series itself. And I think I'm going to take a flyer on the Padres. At plus 150. Not going to touch the Braves Dodgers. Not going to touch the White Talks Guardian. We get tweet speed in the book Jason McKinney. I know ABS ended a postseason game recently. Yeah, it was just the other day. And my 12 year old son is a huge fan of baseball. Is it a good or bad thing that I've seen him nonchalantly tap his head while batting and pitching? That's awesome. That's awesome. I love it. I love it. It does it where you start to run into a problem, Jason. Is if he does it in other walks of life, like if you try to tell him something or his mother tries to tell him something
and he disagrees and then he goes to the head, that becomes a problem. I disagree with Gil. That would be even cooler. I don't have even more respect for your kid. A peach or men take out the trash. Oh, I don't like that. Let's go to the video. Kevin Ryan Gill, I got the over one and a half movie references by FESD today. Lock it. All right. Mako Shades of Mako. I think you're going to you're going to catch that. Shades of Mako. I didn't think it would cause an accident about the light in the car. My parents told me it was illegal and they could get a ticket. My God. Parents. The light in the car thing is my favorite thing in a long time. Me too. The fact that everybody shares this, it's nuanced thing that we'd ever talk about. No, my dad's going to be like, you're like, I got to grill him on this again. Like do you think you'll still stand by this like 30 years later? Oh, yeah. Of course he was. His outrage is apparent trying to control like a pain in the ass, nine year old Kelly. Your mom is so lovely. How should you get mixed up with that? No idea. No idea. No idea. No idea.
No idea. You dug carefully. You'll grow hair on your palms. Yeah, I didn't have that one in my house, but I heard that one too. Steve Cohen, yeah, Fonzie had an apartment above the Cunningham's house. He wasn't a drifter. Imagine Fonzie in the Rambo role drafting into Brian Dede's town. He's mixed. He's throwing in a whole bunch of shows at once there. You know what, hot take? I don't know how you feeling this. Rambo. Me. That a great movie. It was such an 80s. Yeah, I know. Yeah, America. But like give me, okay, like give me predator over that like in a second. Colin Murphy, you can add adding raisins to stuffing as well. Oh, that was just I when my mom did that. I was so angry. That was another story though. Wags pool. I recall the story was someone was tampering with Tylenol bottles. Then we couldn't trick or treat 1982. No more popcorn balls or apples. Well, the Tylenol thing was an actual thing. Someone laced Tylenol with cyanide. Popcorn balls. Those are good though. I have to know what those are forever. GT Buzz Buzz Buzz Bill Bixby. Don't forget my favorite Martian classic TV. Brian Point, Dave, you guys forgot swallowing chewing gum.
We'll stick to your stomach or touching a toad will give you warts. You guys are nailing these the gum thing. These are perfect. Why did we care? I mean, like if you ate enough gum, it's a problem, right? Well, yeah, if it sticks to the walls of your internal organs, I would imagine. But yeah, this is like, but that's not a real thing. No, of course. Yeah, no, no, but like you have to eat 75. Shoot and piece of gum. Right. Yeah, David Null. Yes, a big second for greetings. Bruce's set. Oh, they're talking about something else. They're talking about Bruce Springsteen. Dr. Van Noaster had totally agree with you about the lines D being a civvy. Bryce Young puts a points at home. I took high-scoring game on Sunday 18 to one thoughts. I like it. Actually. And Bill Roland from high school in the 70s and Louisville. Don't pop a pimple. Popular rumor was a girl who did it. Had the remnants ooze into her brain and she died. Oh, man. I never heard that. I never heard that. What he's bad. I got I just thought of a good one. No, that was not brought up. Yeah. My family never subscribed to this. So I'm not going to give that biddling crap for this one.
But the don't swim after right after you eat. Oh, 30 minutes before you swim again. Wait, what? Yes. How did that ever make any sense? That was that was a hard rule. Also, like, like, you know, you like had family barbecues. Like, you know, like a pool party. I never understood. Like, why would you not want the kids to get in the pool? Like let them entertain them. So, Gilly, wait before you go back in the pool. You got told this is a kid. Of course. I know why. And we know what was the thinking. I never understood this. By the way, I can remember like doing it after like 25 minutes and thinking about what a daredevil I was by doing a man. I'm bold. Like, was the idea you were going to like cramp and not be able to swim? You would cramp up yours. You're yes. Yes. Something like that. Then you drown. Okay, then what were parents actually scared of? You were just puking in the pool. It's probably like that. I don't know what they were scared of. They were just they just heard of themselves. Look, they were just they were just fighting through life themselves. They were like, yeah, let's just go with it. You're right. They just heard of themselves. This stuff gets just passed along. What is it for a year? Here are the numbers game.
This is where we stop the nonsense. We finally dispel it all. Mythbusters. Get out of the way, fellas. We're taking over. We're busted every myth on here. Oh, man. When does Fesik Friday start? Oh, before that, we got are we sure? Let's go. You think you know what's going on in the sports betting world? Are you sure? I'm positive. Gillen Kelly tackle the hard-hitting questions on another exciting edition of Are We Sure? It's almost Sigurus. Brought to you by Noah. All right. What do we got? That was a great like 25 minutes of mythbusting. Dude, the great job. Best bet. Great job. All the listeners. That was great. Okay. To sports. Are we sure? Yes, sir. DeShon Watson is a bad quarterback. No, I didn't. Did anybody think he was a bad quarterback? Oh, he was like I'm adding into this season. Nobody was expecting anything from DeShon Watson. Wait a minute. Bad human. I don't, anybody who's watched football, he's not a bad quarterback. He's never been a bad quarterback.
He was a good quarterback five years ago. Or whatever. No, there was, there was question. Will could he still get to that level? But I don't think anybody ever said, oh, DeShon Watson terrible quarterback. No. He was in a quarterback battle with Dylan Gabriel and Shadoor Sanders. Well, that doesn't look like much of anything now, doesn't. I mean, no. I disagree with the question because I was never, I never, I don't even think that was a question at any point. I think there's a lot of people that over the past couple of years would say DeShon Watson is no longer a good quarterback by any means. Well, they were letting their personal feelings of him seep into their football feelings of it. I would suggest. Okay, okay. I'm actually really glad I wrote down that question. Are we sure Kelly's browns underwinter of bed is dead. It's going to be tough, man. Well, he got a great quarterback. Yeah. With the way. You have to, you can only have three more wins. Yeah, you're losing that. Yeah, the guy was over. Yeah, really hoping for a tie last night as I have beds on, uh, Steelers to miss the playoff. So the underbrowd's win.
Yeah. Okay, baseball. Are we sure the Yankees and raise will be the tightest series next round like the odds indicate. No, no, we're not because I, again, if Garrett Cole wins game one for the Yankees, then you've got Schliitler and Freed set up. I, this could be, this could be short because besides junior Kim and Nero, you just keep expecting the raise offense at some point is just going to be what you think they're going to be, which is not really that awesome. So I could see the Yankees shutting them down entirely. Yeah. No, I'm not sure. Okay. Are we sure the Padre, so the biggest threat to the Dodgers in the National League? I say yes. It's apologies to the brewers because the brewers deserve to be the answer to that question and they do have the miz and they just managed to figure out a way to win 100 games. That offense gets it done somehow. The bullpen is really good, but I still say the Padre's hitting on all cylinders is still the most, is still the biggest threat.
Because if you, if that offense, if Tatees and Machado, Tatees has been, has been awesome. But if Machado's going to now start to hit and then you, like, if you have a lead going into the fifth or the sixth, it's over. So I say it's the Padre. Okay. I like it. I like it. Are we sure the WNBA should expand its first round to best of five? I am. I'll say it again for those of us of a certain age. The NBA figured this out in the early 80s. You cannot do best of threes. It's too, in the NBA, it was like, oh no, you could have one of your best teams get knocked out by an eight seat. Right. We don't have that many teams in the WNBA, but at least give them a best of five. Caitlin's gone. The links are gone. At least give them another game or two to have a shot at extending this. That was an eight over one, right? That was an eight over one. Oh yeah, I don't know. You're right. It was an eight over one. No, obviously not two conferences, but yeah, I'm just saying that there's, it ain't the Lakers playing, you know, whoever the eight seat was. No, I thought it was me and you completely agreed on that the other day.
I think you got to change that. You have to. I mean, it's just, it's not going to be because I think it took this long of their history to get to this point. It's a good point. Yeah, it's a good point. It shouldn't knock him for it. Okay, I've been waiting to ask this question. This is like the, when Gil sets up college guessing lines every week in the history behind it, you know, like five weeks and Kelly's caught up on some college football things. Are we sure this Mississippi state quarterback has a shot at the iceman? He's third on the odds board right now. Where did this guy come from? How to phrase that again? How did you say it? Are we sure he's got a shot at the iceman? Okay, a shot. Yeah. He's seven to one. Yeah, no, he's got a shot. Who is this guy? Who is this guy? He's absolutely got a shot. And I'll tell you why he's got a shot because the schedule right now for Mississippi State, you got Bama this week because they really haven't been, they haven't beaten a murderer's role yet. But you've got Bama coming up. You've got LSU coming up. You have Texas coming up.
And I'm forgetting one in the middle of that, too. So you have a stretch of four games for Taylor, who is six, four, two hundred, thirty pounds, almost twelve hundred yards passing, fourteen touchdowns and two in reception. So he's like a bigger, less fast Lamar Jackson. Listen, he might not even be the best quarterback on the field against Keelan Russell this weekend. Because Keelan Russell stats are great too. Keelan Russell's fifth in the Heisman Balloting. But yes, Taylor absolutely has a shot. He's seven to one right now to win the Heisman. Smith and Mensa's shorter.
