Check it down man now down there. Monday Morning, sept Dames Beating the Book podcast. It's Gil Alexander Guessing Lines, week number four in the National Football League. Not just any guessing lines, but guessing lines with story Time Christie Andrews back for his old staple. Not just the guessing lines exercise where we try to extract value from the upcoming week's NFL lines, and hopefully by the way, you're playing the game interactively as well with your own guesses.
But a story never before told on this podcast, never made his book, Chrissie's book, of course, called and then one Day never never Never, by the way it's called then one day, not and then one day, then one day Available at Amazon, Storytime, brand new head on Wait Enjoy. It's a numbers game, kil Alexander. Believe it is a
numbers game on a Monday morning. It's kil Alexander, sirius X Channel two four, Visa dot Com, the vs in app, and it is Monday during the NFL season, Week four, coming up Week three almost in the rear view, not quite you know what that means on Monday, it's guessing lines. It's the staple. Will also put it in podcast form as well, and today not only Chrissie Andrews, but Chrissie as we bring him in the director of the South Point Hotel Casino sports book. Chrissy, the return of story
time today? Is that right? I have one and uh, I got reminded of it. It It probably should have been in the book. But we'll tell with here today. It'll be the first time ever heard. So we'll go from there, first time ever heard, first time ever in any form of media. A story later on the show, which means we gotta scoot today because we got obviously not quite a full slate. You told me beforehand. There's a couple of teams on buy, so fifteen total games to get to.
And as we do this for those just landing on the show for the first time, um, you know, we try to go through the show and then we'll harken back to what happened yesterday. Comments on all in the point of the exercise to try to extract value. First look at at lines and next week and see where value might exist. First of all, Chrissy, good bad man kind of week for the books how to go for you? Well, Saturday was real good, yeah, very very good, good handle
results very good yesterday and not so good. Uh, you know, we wanted up making a little bit of money at the end of the day. Not great, but you know we we kind of held our own. We needed the Browns pretty good last night. Uh, you know, we were all over the place. Number wise, four would have really hurt us. If there were hands one by four, which I think we were looking at there for a little bit. Um,
that would have been real bad. But Raham's covering. You know, we got a little bit back in the half, and you know it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Let's just say that. So it wind up making a little bit for the day, not much, but mostly the Bettors had their way with us yesterday. Okay, JB, who's in for a producing number five? Jeff Pearl's JB doing guessing lines with us this year on Mondays while Jeff's
schedule gets rejigged. How did you do yesterday? Um, gosh, I think I only I had like a money line parlay, you know, bridge jump in as Paul as Paul would call it, A bunch of favorites paired together, came through, you know, minus three dollars. But I made it through my last playing, Last man Standing took the Colts, so still alive. That that's pretty exciting, all right, pretty exciting
for you. Yeah. I think circus consensus was five and oh if I'm not mistaken, So that was a that sort of dovetails into what you were saying, Chrissy, right there. So a pretty good uh week for the the average Better shall we begin with Thursday? With the story time looming, Let's get into it. Let's do it. We have Chilly at green Bay Philly. Green Bay, Philly coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions twenty seven to twenty four, green Bay beating the uh breating the beating the Broncos
and covering in the process. Sixteen h Philly gets the Lions yesterday seven drop passes, no DeShawn Jackson with the abdomen, uh noel Sean Jeffrey with a calf. They felt that they did have a chance. The Eagles did after Malcolm Jenkins block Matt Prater's forty six yard field goal UH try with one fifty three left or Sold Douglas returning to the Lions twenty two, but an illegal block on Jenkins pushed it back to midfield. Fourth and five sprowls.
Darren's Foles called a pass for a first down, but got cold for Philly's third offensive pass interference, then went steep past the J Jr. Sega Whiteside incomplete forty one seconds left. Ar Sega Whiteside said he should have had it, but Katie barred the door. At that point, Detroit holds on for the win. They did get a special teams touchdown to kick off re turn for a touchdown did the Lions against the Eagles. That proved to be the
difference as well. Green Bay Aaron Rodgers Valdes Scantling was his big receiver six catches ninety nine yards a touchdown. Ar just said he never had his jersey look so clean after a game that he did after yesterday's game, and Preston Smith matching a career high with three sacks. They sat Joe Flacco a total of six times. But Christie and I'll and I'll leave it at this, forty five of green Bay's fifty eight points thus far this
year in the first half. So whatever is happening at halftime, I don't know if Green Bay's not adjusting to what's going on, but they basically have to hold on for dear life and all of these put that all in the wash good Thursday night matchup. How about that, I'll say, green Bay, it's gonna be more than a field goal. We don't know about the status of these receivers yet.
With the Eagles, I'll say four green Bay minus four, you're a little light four and a half, and I think that's a good number, mostly because of the injuries on Philly. By the way, both these teams were involved in and perhaps are two worst games of the day. Why you guys all over Detroit against Philly. I'm you know, probably because of the injuries. I would say more than anything else public all over green Bay. Actually we had some sharp money on Denver. That's kind of evened it
out a little bit. But with all the other favorites winning, it's one of those games you look back and say that this game cost us pretty good. And so just a note to take the Green Bay's defense, I think it looked great so far this year not so much, but you gotta think Rogers will probably get it together. But you know, he's getting a little long in the tooth, you know, so uh, not positive that you will think you will know Anyway, I think four and a half
pretty good number. Opened up with Green Bay one of seven three and oh teams, the Lions and eighth undefeated team at two oh and one. So you said it was four and a half. That was the number in the end. Yeah, okay, I might open four and a half. All right, how many times have you said on the early season, you're a little light, Gil, You're a little light. That's you were like last week the favorites really out of field day favorite better. We tried to do better
this week. But you know that's the point of the exercise, right where where there is difference, there is value. Perhaps, all right, let's go to something exactly Sunday. First up, Carolina at Houston, Carolina at Houston. Well, how about this? I mean last week I said, you know, with the Cam Newton when we were on air Tuesday, when the Cam Newton news came down that he was gonna miss practice, and I remember saying all through last week, are we
really sure they're not better off without him? And that's tough to say before you see it. But Kyle Allen nineteen of twenty six christy for two sixty one, four touchdowns, no picks, in Carolina's win yesterday over Arizona thirty eight to twenty. They ended up winning it, going away as two point dogs in that ballgame. Christian McCaffrey filling up
a statue once again. Twenty four carries, a hundred fifty three yards, a touchdown, three catches thirty five greg Olsen, Kyle Allen lied on him six catches for seventy five yards, two of which were touchdown, and they sacked Kyler Murray did the Panthers eight times? Eight times? Carolina at who here in Houston? You said, Carolina at Houston? Okay, in Houston. DeShawn Jackson. I guess the big note on DeShawn Jackson that we can always say is he only got sacked
two times. That's a big deal whenever DeShawn Jackson's on the field because his offensive line is just horrific. Again, we said, uh, I think it was twelve straight games in which he had been sacked. From talking about Watson, yes, oh Watson, I'm sorry. Shaun Watson fifty four yesterday, So talking about the Shawn Jackson that second ago with the Eagles. Shawn Watson thirty four yesterday, three fifty one yards, three touchdowns,
no pick, but again sack just twice. Uh. They rallied the Texans in from a ten point halftime deficit twenty consecutive points yesterday to beat the Chargers ultimately twenty charger miscuse charges doing chargers things, As Dodd wish Up said, I got Houston by six. Here. Wow, it's Houston by four and a half. So you're obviously not white. Uh well, I thought that was a little high myself, you know, I listen, I thought Watson really played well yesterday, but
I still have my questions about that offensive line. They protected him well, no doubt about it. You know, they really did um. But again, did the Chargers do enough charger things to hand Houston that Daniel? Maybe? Uh so, boy, you you like six, you know, it's four and a half solid across the boards, So I'm gonna open the four and a half here as well. But I tell you the truth, you know, Carolina, you know we've talked about it. You know, I think we have seen the
best in cam Newton. And is Kyle Allen the answer? You know, he could, you know, put him in the Hall of Fame off at one game, but he sure looked pretty darn good. I can tell you that, um, because I've got four and a half a little high. I'll open it four and a half, so I guess and see what they want to take me from there. But I gotta tell you, I think I'm leaning towards the dog more than and a lot of it is a bet against Houston more than a bet on Carolina. Yeah,
I mean I could see it from both sides. Right again. I mentioned that Carolina sat Kyler Murray eight times. So there's that. And Deshaun Watson has the problems of getting sacked. By the way Deshaun Watson, it's just tremendous. The plays he makes for the Houston Texans that gets them out of jams is incredible. On the other hand, Kyle Allen, now, assuming he plays, and there is an assumption in that, assuming he plays next yeah, you know they've got a
week do the Texans to prepare for him. Um, And so I laid it on six. Four and a half is your number. So I'm heavy there. The one and two Panthers against the two and one Texans at Houston. That's an early game on Sunday, all right, let me think about that one. What's another one? Cleveland at more than one, Cleveland at Baltimore. Linger on this for a second. Shall we the Cleveland Browns last night, Uh lose to
the Los Angeles Rams. They end up losing twenty excuse me as four point dogs, So Rams get the cover there. Baltimore in defeat. This is one of these things that Baltimore and defeat against the Chiefs. And by the way, I had the Chiefs yesterday and about twenty five different things had to happen for Chiefs backers to lose that cut for yesterday and all twenty five did ultimately um
in the Browns game. Getting back to last night, John Johnson intercepting Baker Mayfield's fourth down pass with twenty seven seconds left as La escapes with the win. Browns were plus two in turnovers last night. They were missing their entire starting secondary. They still took the Rams of the final snaps. They were missing eight starters in all. But man, the stuff that happened in that game for the Browns last night. Fourth and nine at the Rams forty within
twenty left. It's seventeen to thirteen at that point, and Freddie Kitchens goes to Nick Chubb on a run a two yard run turns the ball over on downs, Uh, Kitchens after the game, We're trying to win the game. We're in that side of the field. Bad call. Rams. Then the last rams fourth and one at the Cleveland nineteen with six thirty seven left up seventeen and thirteen, Sean McVeigh says, we'll kick a field goal to go up a touchdown. That was curious, by the way, the
field will barely made it rams. Then third and three at the Cleveland forty six, two fifty four left. Instead of just running the ball, they throw a pick and give Cleveland life. And then of course the final sequence Cleveland first and goal from the five, with all three time outs left, four straight passes Chrissie and four straight and empty sets, So basically telegraphing and saying, hey, we're
passing here. Um Kitchens. Then, by the way, uses the time out, Uh, not to you know, not in any way to healthy offense, but use the time out just in case they didn't get in the end zone, ensuring that the game would be over. Uh. Only having two time outs left at that point, Kitchens, after the game, I should have ran it one time. That's why I'm kicking myself. If you're looking blame somebody, Blame me. Don't blame when our players, don't blame any of our other coaches.
Just blame me because I can't take it. Just because I can take it. Just blame me. Go right to your article and say that I missed the game up, Freddie, don't worry. Everybody's blaming you. I can tell you this. Even when they ran that girl, I'm sitting on the cops with my wife, and why would they run the ball, honey, I don't know, I really don't. It looks like a bad, bad calling. Obviously it was Baker Mayfield that. By the way, five fourth quarter turnovers this year, Cleveland falls to one
and two. Like I said, before the season, win some games, then start talking, so Cleveland wanted too. They go to Baltimore. Now, Cleveland was was the fan favorite before the season to win the NFC North Baltimore. Everybody remember everybody on air here, Chrissie, everybody had them under on the season win total. Everybody, And I said, that's what worries me. Everybody thinks that all it takes is three weeks here. Nobody's saying that anymore.
Even in defeat yesterday, Lamar Jackson two forty three two sixty seven yards, no touchdowns, no picks, but eight carries forty six yards and a touchdown, mark ingram sixteen carries a hundred three yards three touchdowns. Lamar Jackson is now eight and two straight up as a starter. Both losses to Casey by a combined eight points. Ravens d second in the NFL after the first two weeks. They gave up five three yards of total offense um, but they
were they were stuffed once on fourth down. Were the Ravens three times they failed to convert on a two point conversion, leaving them chasing points all game? Can we talk about that real quick for a second before I throw it to you? That? What was that? So? Yeah? So, I mean, here's the thing. It's John Harbaugh, your proclaimed second best coach in in in football. So they go up six nothing, they try the two point conversion. I guess I don't have a problem with that, because you
are playing Patrick Mahomes. You want to score as many points as possible. Okay, okay, uh. Then late in the game, you're down five, you try two point conversion to get it three. That makes sense too as well. However, uh, there's one where you're down eleven points in the fourth quarter and you go for two instead of one. Now, your knee jerk reaction to that is at that point
you're like, what the heck are they doing? But do you remember that Giants Falcons Monday night game, Chrissie where the Giants Pat Shermer went for two when they were down eight points and we had the whole discussion afterwards that Analytically you're it's actually not a bad move to do that. So yes, So this is sort of a
cousin of that. Uh. And here, by the way, on the screen at Visa dot com and the Visa and a thank you JB is a tweet from Kevin Cole from Pro Football Focus, which is basically a float chart. That's what you wanted this morning on guessing lines is a float chart as to why when you're down eight going for two instead of the one is actually, by a very simple math, an okay thing to do hardball Doing it down eleven to go to nine is actually
akin to that. But here's the problem with that. Even if I try to give him that in the third quarter, they were down by eleven and they kicked an extra point, so somebody, somebody is well well. After the game, Hardball said, I don't remember the situation or which was it, but every one of these was clear analytical decision to go for two. We had a mindset that we're going to come in and try to score as many points as
we could. So that's what we tried to do. That's great, except that you were inconsistent with it, So now I can't buy that either. Anyway, I guess I should make a guess Baltimore by a touchdown. I'll say Baltimore minus seven. Okay, I only see two numbers right now, and it's five and a half. I think that's way light, way light. So I'm gonna open. Yeah, I think that's way light. I'm listen. I wasn't on your show or any of
the shows. You know, everybody knows my situation. I would not have picked Baltimore under and I think there's a really good team, and I make right now. John Harbor, Yeah, maybe he made some mistakes yesterday, but he also knows what he has in Lamar Jackson totally reconfigured his whole offense, and I'd say it's working. You know again, it's early,
but you know, so far, so good. I would say, even though they lost yesterday, Cleveland and again he listen, if there's there's anything in all of this Cleveland, Well, there's a lot of things gonna hold this Cleveland team back, including the head coach. And I think that, uh, you know, you gotta rein in some of these egos. You gotta make some better decisions on and off the field. And I'm not sure if Freddie Kitchens hasn't in them, to
tell you the truth. So right now, I'm gonna open six just because that's the highest I see, and if it goes higher, I'm gonna try to stay ahead of it because I don't see people bet in Cleveland, and I don't see Baltimore losing this game. I think Baltimore is uh probably the third best team in the a f C, and I would not be surprised to see them playing in January and you know at all, and if they went to the a f C title game again, don't call it these shocks. I think They're gonna be
right there. Uh maybe a step behind Case or the Patriots, but not a big step, just a small one. I think all of that's right. I think they have proven themselves through three weeks to be the third best team in the f C. And that number is coming to me, that numbers come into my seven, I have a feeling. I absolutely think you're right. All right, we'll come back. We'll continue more guessing lines a week four in the

We're back on the numbers game guessing lines for week four in the National Football League.
Hope week three was a good one for you, Skil Alexander JBS here for Jeff Parlay producing number five on the Monday, and of course my Misha. Chris Andrews, Director south Point Hotel, Casino, Sports Book. Uh in l A, Chris, you're feeling good by the way this morning. How are you feeling? Um? Yeah, I'm doing okay. Well, you know, I don't want to get into it too much. There's still some issues I'm facing, but you know, nothing like totally unexpected. So and you're soldiering through the show. So
thank you for on behalf of everybody for hanging up. Yeah, it's not. I'll tell you one thing. You know, I'm actually having a discussion last time with some people and I'm seeing a lot and you know, all in all, I think I'm pretty lucky. So you know, let's just say I'm seem a lot worse than me. Well, just like you to put it in perspective, just like you to be that way. But we we all appreciate you being here, and uh we hope uh you feel better by the minute, by the hour, by the day, that's
for sure. Um no artful way to segue back into football after that, Chrissie, But I didn't want to point out one last thing about the Cleveland Baltimore game. We talked about the fourth and nine at the Rams forty left, uh, and Freddy Kitchens goes to a run to Nick Chubb two yards. Not a very inspired play call, but Bill Barnwell puts this in perspective. I don't know if you have visa dot Com visa app up, but I will
read it for those listening on radio. Bill Barnwell looking through the Pro Football Reference play index, and I don't think I can find a fourth and eight plus play. This is Barnwell talking where a team deliberately handed the ball to a running back before tonight since Bernie Parmly in N seven Bertie Parmaly refe inceas cash at plus three thousand, all the show today. All right, let's move on. What's another one? Okay, you're out there Washington after New
York Gangs. My outfit place tonight? The Redskins, who are now I believe five and a half point dogs? Consensus? Is that right? To the uh? To the Bears, Yes, five and a half moved up from four. Um. Look, I don't know who's playing for the Redskins from one week to another. I don't know if Jordan Reid still even has a career after all the concussions. It maybe over for Jordan Reed. And and you know it's a it's a sad thing because allow, yeah, no, his his
entire career has been plagued by injuries, concussions. Obviously, no laughing matter. Will uh will they get back Jonathan Allen at some point? So very much up in the air. The Giants, I mean, let's talk about them for a second. Daniel Jones. And here's the other thing about what we've been saying on a numbers game. Laugh all you want about where the Giants picked him at six. We said this after the draft, but we're also very clear to say none of us really know how good he will
actually be. And uh you know again, uh we all know some folks, uh most successful sports better. I know my buddy who I referenced all the time, he loved Daniel Jones at Duke. Obviously the Giants did as well
Daniel Jones. Yesterday one win for the Giants over the Bucks thanks to a missed Matt Gay field goal for the unbelievable Bucks were all set up to winning, but Daniel Jones with no se Kwan Barkley, who got hurt early in that game, late first quarter on the road, down eighteen no problem, twenty three of thirty six for three thirty six, two touchdown passes, no picks, four on the ground, with two touchdowns on the ground, including the go ahead score. With one sixteen remaining, Giants rally to
beat the Bucks. Uh Angram six for one thirteen, a touchdown, Shepherd seven for a hundred and a touchdown high ankle injury late in the first half. I should say not laying the first quarter for for se kwon Um Giants without seeing the Redskins tonight, They're going to be a favorite, and I'll even make it a tick above a field goal. But there is no se Quon, so I can't make it that. I can't make it four and a half.
Let's say three and a half in favor of the Giants. Well, I'm like your number better than what I see right now. I see two and a half with some juice on the favorite or three flat one with a little bit of juice on the dog. I'm gonna open three, um, But again, there isn't another one. I'm gonna stay ahead of this one. If if I see anything higher than
that pop up, I'm gonna go. Uh. You know, I listen, you know, I know it's your outfit in Washington, but boy, they've got a lot of problems and the Giants or the defense is still absolutely horrible for the Giants, you know, let Jameis Winston pass from all that. Although I see some improvement Amy Winston. Um, I still think three and asks probably a better number. Uh. But one more thing about that. The one Jones touchdown on the ground, that whole defense opened up that I don't know that I've
ever seen a defense give a quarterback. That much running room. I mean, somebody has to have that responsibility in the middle of the field. There was nobody there at all. That was incredible. But anyway, I'm gonna I'm gonna open three just because that's the highest I see. If I see it going higher, though, I'm gonna try to stay ahead of this one. I like the Giants in this spot. A lot of it is a bet against Washington. I hate to say, just you know, a team with a
lot of injuries and a lot of problems. Yeah, you're right. And Tampa Bay was so locked into their coverage, their past coverage, that they just left the whole field open on that one. Um. Yeah, And as far as tonight's concerns, just a note about the Redskins. That's five and a half. Mitch Moss when he was walking out of here, he asked me, because you're taking the Redskins tonight? I said no, I mean I might tease him with something else, give me give me twelve and after eleven and after work
with but I'm not. I'm not taking the Redskins against number. Nothing would surprise me tonight. Uh, in terms of how that game falls. Washington at the job like the Bears have been all that great, you know, they really haven't on I mean that's you know, like I said, there's a bet and the move is really against Washington resident on the Bears. Yeah, so what was your number? Finally? You said two and a half is what you're opening with? John's three three three? Al right? I had three and
a half. Al right, Next game, sir, shagers at Miami Charges at Miami Chargers one and two after their loss yesterday, and the Miami Dolphins oh and three. This a note for all the oh and three teams out there, uh, teams that start oh and three in terms of their record of making the playoffs. There have been a hundred and forty four of the oh and three teams here going back to the sixteen game schedule. The record for teams making the playoffs after starting oh and three is
four and one hundred forty four times. It's happened, basically in a hundred and forty four such instances. Chargers Philip Rivers yesterday, you know, fills up a statue six three eighteen two touchdowns note picks, but he was sacked five times. Keenan Allen got it done. Eurcheen catches for one three, two touchdowns, charges trim the lead to seven points. By the way, they gave up a ten point lead, then
they cut it to seven. Drove into Houston territory in the final minute, converted to four downs along the way. But yeah, they fumbled deep in Texas territory. They had a pick and a touchdown, both wiped out by penalties. They lost a touchdown for the third time or the third time in their due defeats um. They have a losing record after three games of the Chargers for the fifth consecutive season. And then there's the Dolphins. Chrissie who started Josh Rosen. He was eighteen of thirty nine for
two hundred, no touchdowns, no picks. But they have the worst scoring differential the Dolphins due through three games since at least nineteen fifty they've been outscored. Really yeah, one one thirty three to sixteen. I'll do the math. That's a hundred and seventeen points griz um. Oakland's previous record Oakland nineteen sixty one. That must have been an AFL team, right,
Oakland one of six. Yeah, Dolphins have just one touchdown in three games, and yet they should have led at halftime yesterday, Um, they were twenty two point under because we know Kenyan Drake fumbled on first down for the Dallas seven yard line the final minute of the second quarter. Um, DeMarcus Lawrence recovered to preserve at ten to six lead. They should have gone in there. And the previous drive before Drake's fumble, DeVante Parker dropped a throw that he
easily could have turned into a touchdown. So Dolphins should have been up at halftime. Instead, they got rolled in the end by the Cowboys thirty one to six. The Cowboys cover the big spread. Um. So this is this is where it gets really weird this year, guessing these lines because whenever the Dolphins are involved, like, we have to throw out everything we've ever thought about line making ever before. So if the Patriots, what did the Patriots end up at Miami? What were they like nineteen and
a half on the road? Boy, that was one of those games. I mean we opened at eighteen and a half, we high at twenty three and a half. Well remember I'm going to say twenty one and a half something, so all over the place in that Oh did they get that high on the road? Because remember when we did guessing lines. You were at yesterday game? No, when
they were on the road. Yeah, I'm sorry guessing lines was you said sixteen and a half and I said seventeen and a half of the time, and I was like, give me, give me the Patriots immediately, and it's sort it went through me to think nineteen and a half. Yeah, were you at the nineteen and f we finally got some wise, I played plus the nineteen and a a half and plus nineteen. Yeah, I'm sorry I was yesterday. That's okay.
So if but that's what I'm saying, Like, right, these lines are so big now we can't even keep track of So if the Patriots were nineteen and a half close on the on the road to Miami, wouldn't the Chargers be I mean, I don't know. I'm just throwing out a number of these gets. So thirteen and a half,
I'll say, I don't know. When I was making my numbers, I thought fourteen, but at sixteen and a half and seventeen, so my god, you know, I guess, just being a stubborn bookmaker, I'm gonna open at sixteen and a half. You know, I don't know where this game is gonna go. I really don't, uh, because I see numbers. I actually see one sixteen as well. I'm anna open sixteen and a half. I mean, listen, I know chargers do chargery things to blow games. I don't think they could even
screw this one up. But who knows. I don't know. But Miami, you know he's going back to Roses. The Roses didn't look that bad. I didn't say they had a lot of guys dropped balls on him. You know. Um, I don't want you know. I don't know if he's going to be the long term answer in Miami. But I can't tell you that. Excuse me. He's not bad. He really isn't you know. But boys got the other fifty two guys on the roster and no bargain. I can tell you that one thirty three to sixteen through
three games. My good god, can I'm surprised by that. I'm surprised that's that high, I am, But really my first reaction is where they that's right? But could the but could the Dolphins be again we say this every week? Could they be so historically bad that none of these numbers are high enough? You know, we'll see chargers God, I'm surprised by that number at thirteen and a half. Okay, let's do one more here before the break. Oakland at
Indianapolis Oakland and Indy. Oakland loses pretty badly to Minnesota. Minnesota did the whole, uh, we're not gonna pass the ball, We're just gonna keep running thing that they did against Atlanta early in the year. Um Waller Darren Waller, most of this in garbage time, thirteen catches for a hundred thirty four yards, but Derek Carr was sacked four times in that game against the Vikings. That game was never competitive.
Minnesota ends up beating the Raiders thirty to fourteen in a game that was probably closer than the score indicates. Indianapolis two and one on the season now. Jacobe Brissett twenty eight of thirty seven for three ten, two touchdowns, no picks in Indianapolis twenty seven and twenty four win against the Falcons. By the way, the Colts always seemed to play close games too, don't they. Even if they got a big lead, it's like, all right, we'll let
them back in here. Brissette, though completed his first sixteen passes of the game. He threw for two touchdowns of the first half, led the Colts to scores on their first four drives. Uh Indie had two scoring drives and more than sixty yards. T Y Hilton did miss the second half because of a quad injury yesterday, but Adam Vinitari, reverting to old Adam nyt Arry five for five, including a forty nine yard to start things that he banked in off the left upright. Um, this is going to
You're you're going to record. You're gonna recoil when I say this. But do we really still think the cults are that much worse off with Jacoby Brissette than they were with Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck, who at times was an interception machine, and Jacoby Brissette, who, now, and this is the fact, historically is the most jew dishes quarterback with a minimum of five hundred attempts. Now it's over
six close to six hundred attempts. In terms of his interception rate, it's the lowest in the history of the National Football League with that minimum. Um, so I love Jacoby, per said, and I got Indianapolis minus seven here, I got a full touchdown. Well, it's seven one six and alf Let me just like he's crazy. Okay, I don't think I am. No. I can tell you this because I've gone through and I wrote an article about this a couple of years ago about, you know, when I
had my website Andrew Luck's interceptions. You know what, he throws interceptions when they're losing and he's trying to throw them back into the game. And now, up until now, Indianapolis had a terrible cast of characters besides Andrew Luck, and Jacoby per said, I love him to listen. I think he's a terrific quarterman. But Andrew Luck through all those interceptions when they were losing, trying to throw them back into the game through very very few in cepss
while they were winning. So we can go into that some other time. I know, we gotta hustle through this. But I happened to like Jacoby precent. I think he's very very good. If you think he's better than Andrew Luck, you're you're nuts. I didn't say that. I said, do you think it's that much of a drop off? Is what I said. To be clear. You know, it's some it's a drop off, you know how much? I don't know. But the thing is he's good and getting better. He's
a good, good player. Uh you know, I mean I think that they could he could be a long term solution to the calls. In fairness, you've you've always been in the tank for Andrew Luck, haven't you? In fairness? I love and I love Andrew Luck. Don't hide it one bit, you know, serious man love for him. But you know, listen if he you know he did what he did because I think Troy Aikman said he saw Luck last year and he's great a year as he had last year he was miserable. And then these are
the words of of uh Toroy Aikman. Just because of the physical wearing Terry taken the game six and a half and seven. It looks like the guys that did have seven and got taken off them from Oakland. I know what you're saying about. Indian does tend to play a lot of close games. Uh, it looks like they are taking the seven. I see the places that are up. I probably opened six and a half here. Uh, I might open seven enough. I see it around them in the open seven. Just take up that and go down.
Because you know, I'm not very impressed with Oakland, very very inconsistent. And like I said, I think this Colts team, they finally have a really good lineup besides the quarterback, and I think there's a pretty darn good team right now. And I thought they should win. I thought they were gonna win by more than three. Yesterday. It wanted up being a really really big game for us because all the steam was on Atlanta. But the first bet that
we took was at at three. Uh So, anyway, I'm gonna open seven, I think, but I reserved the right to go to six and a half if I see it going. By the way, going back to that Baltimore Cleveland game, I see some more guys opening up and they're opening up six, So I'm gonna try to stay ahead of that one. So you're at what what were you at six or six and a half? I can't remember. At bottom, I was at six because there was a
lot of five and a half. I'm gonna open six, and I may go higher so it won't be under six at the promise seven to the Colts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get seven on that. So we're back to the Colts and I'm gonna I think I'm gonna open seven and take a bet because I see it dropping. But that's okay. I'm I opened seven and take a bet. I like the seven good guesses from Young Gil so far this morning, and even when I'm off, I kind
of like them. Still. We'll come back. We got more games to get to a whole bunch, just two teams on buy and then story Time, the return of story Time, Never told, never written from Chris Andrews right here on the Numbers game at Visa. Welcome back to a Numbers game with Jill Alexander. Oh I bet Todd wish never I have a bunch of grievances on Wednesday. Every every Football Sunday produces them. That's for sure. We're guessing lines
week four. It's kill Alexander. J b is here for Jeff Parlay and Chrissie Andrews from l A. What's the next one? Chris Kansas City at Detroit, Kansas City three and oh um, what a bad beat that was on the Chiefs yesterday. I'm still bitter about it, but they're three and oh um. Patrick Mahomes is just on another level. Twenty seven thirty seven for three seventy four yesterday, three touchdowns, no picks, Uh. They outgained Baltimore five oh three to
four fifty five hundred three yards of offense. Uh. Thirteen games now from the homes of at least three hundred yards passing in his first twenty games. That broke Kurt Warners mark for the most in the first twenty games of a career. Chiefs have scored twenty six or more points in an NFL record twenty four straight regular season games. Good lord, they're at Detroit. Detroit is undefeated as well. There two oh and one. Ah. Yes, that Arizona tie. Another bad beat. Some of us were all, but Detroit
got it done. As we mentioned earlier against the Eagles, they got a special teams touch on Jamal Agnew returning a kickoff a hundred yards for score. Lions held on and I do mean held on for victory over the Eagles. Marvin Jones six catches a hundred one for a touchdown and a touchdown as well. I'll say Casey on the road by seven, Chris, Uh, it's six and a half juice on the favorite, seven juice on the dog. Of course, here at South Point, we don't open anything with the
juice or angel eleven and I'm gonna open seven. I don't want to get in front of this Kansas City train. Um and I can say that Detroit and I know they're too oh and one. And then they seemed like they've been a little lucky this year too so and they ran into Philly with a ton of injuries. So did Detroit win or did Philly lose? I think it's more Philly lost. Kansas City. You're right, they have probably a pretty bad beat. If you had the chief yesterday, I had the raven so in, you know, in a
couple of contests on the complaint. But you know, I mean, I think Kansas City seven is a good place to start. If they take me down, that's fine. That a good public will be in Kansas City. Thank the public a part of you. Right, This is a really really good team, really really good team. It's just a simplest it gets what it's so true. Guessing lines Week four Here on a numbers game, Gil Alexander Chris Andrews show brought you by eight Sleep. The pod is the first bed designed
to boost your performance. More eight Sleep dot Com slash v sin All right, what's the next one? Then? Chris new England at Buffalo New England and Buffalo, New England three and oh New England. Another win very easily done yesterday, this time for New England against the Luke Falk led New York Jets. They went at thirty to four. Team they didn't cover because because Jared's Diidham came in the game throw a pick six on his third pass, and
they reinserted Tom Tom Brady into the game. Belichick is like, Okay, I've seen enough of it, you Brady. Forty six for three oh six, two touchdowns, no picks. They've outscored opponents. Now, even after having given up fourteen yesterday, one on the pick six, one touchdown on the pick six, They've outscored opponents one oh six to seventeen this year. Held Luke Falk to nine yards passing twenty one to six advantage in first downs against the Jets. Jets were oh for
twelve on third down. They held the Jets to a hundred five total yards. They sacked Falk five times. The Jets punted on ten of their last thirteen possessions. Excuse me of their of their entire thirteen possessions in the game. You get the idea. James White missed the game yesterday was with his expectant wife Julian. Edelman left the game with about a minute to play in the in uh I believe it was the third quarter. Was it with
a chest injury. Didn't return. Patriots first team in the Super Bowl era that hasn't allowed a rushing or passing touchdown in their first three games. Good Lord, and then there's Buffalo. Buffalo was up fourteen to nothing on the Bengals. They squandered that lead. They trailed seventeen fourteen, but they got it done at the end. Got it done a hundred seventy five yards on the ground for the Bills.
They improved a three and over the first time since only the third time they've done that in twenty six years. Dawson knocks their tight end huge play late in that game on the what eventually was the game winning drive. He also had a touchdown earlier in the game, his first touchdown since junior high school in Tennessee. Good Lord. Josh Allen thirty six to forty three, one touchdown, one pick.
He was nearly picked off, though. We talked about guys like Kirk Cousins who get fortunate with balls bouncing off defender's chest. Josh Allen yesterday was nearly picked off two more times, almost lost a fumble before being ruldy was out of bound. So the bill is very fortunate as well. Let's not forget about those plays. So three and oh at three and oh, and again we're talking New England and this is sort of the converse of Miami. I don't know what to make these lines, Chrissie. These are
tough New England on the road. I would say it's at Buffalo. I guess minus ten would be my guess. Wow, I don't quite like your number, but I don't like the number that's out there right now. It's mostly seven really or seven a half with juice on the dog. I'm gonna open seven alf last. Yeah, yeah, And you know, and I end a feeling that wise guys will come in on Buffalo. The boy you talk about lucky, I mean Buffalo. I think there's been extremely lucky so far
in this year. And there are three and oh you know listening. You can only do what you gotta do to win games, and they've done that. But I think this team has been pretty darn lucky in New England. I think this is uh a pretty good version of this team that has already won six Super Bowls. So you know, I ye know, I talked about not I don't want to get in front of that Kansas City train.
I'm not sure I want to get in front of this New England train either, even though they didn't cover yesterday, but I mean, come on, they selept walk feedback games. But you know, you know what's interesting about that, It's pretty funny. I gotta tell you. I looked on this. This This gets back to our New England at Miami discussion a couple of weeks ago. Again, when on guessing lines you had you said it was sixteen and a half.
I had guess seventeen and a half, and I immediately said, give me, give me the Pagriots, give me the page. If it's sixteen and a half, give me The Pagriots immediately came to me and went through me and ended up nineteen a half. I feel the same exact way about this, which is at that time you said the wise guys will probably take Miami, and I said, at that time, and I'll say the same thing about the wise guys taking Buffalo here that is nothing but muscle memory.
And too cool for school. That's how I feel about that. Give me New England all day at that number seven and a half. Please, I'm the opening seven and a half, but we have some friends of ours who have seven. Let me put that way. Okay, alright, number, Let's do one more here real quick before the break. Tennessee Adamtlanta, al right, not much to say about this. Tennessee will be on extra rest. They're one and two off that
Jacksonville debacle. Marcus Mariotta, I've never been a fan of him, and he right again for three oh four sounds good, but he was sacked nine times, and in the first half, when the game mattered, he was six of sixteen for sixty two. Tennessee also had nine penalties for a hundred one yards. Rabel strange decision not to kick a field goal with over eleven minutes left in the third quarter,
down fourteen and nothing, very very odd. And then Atlanta, as we mentioned yesterday, they lost to the The Colts made it close. Matt Ryan twenty thirty four for three or four, three touchdowns, one pick, Julio eight a great touchdown catch. Uh. They were eight of ten on third downs. Were the Falcons, but Chris six team penalties for a hundred and twenty eight yards. Good lord, I'll say Atlanta minus.
This is gonna be somewhere between. It's not a three and it's not a seven, so I'll put it in there. I'll say it's four and a half in favor of Atlanta. Yeah, I see four and a half and five. I'm not open four and a half. Yeah, I think Tennessee with a little bit of extra rest. Boy, you know, I was slow to get off of Mariotta, but I think you're right now. And this is his uh free agent year. I guess, uh, you know, I don't see them, but
he's signing again. But I mean, who knows. Um, I like four and a half and you know, you look back. Matt Ryan actually played a pretty good game this day. Even though they were they were down, they lost by three, it's pretty they still pretty darn good. But I like, I'm not that I like Atlanta, but I like four and a half for a number here. I think that's what I'm gonna go with her and Keane O'Neil, safety for the Falcons, carted off the field late in the
first half with achilles tendon injury. Remember he missed last season after tearing an a c l in the season open. The poor guy just terrible injury. Luck for him, all right, Chrissy, Let's sneak one more in here. Tampa Bay at the Rams, Tampa Bay. At the Rams Tampa Bay. As we mentioned, they lose thirty two to thirty one yesterday to the Giants. Um Man Mike Evans eight catches, a hundred ninety yards, three touchdowns, seven for one forty six and those three
touchdowns of the first half. But Matt gave their new kicker Tampa um It's a new kicker for the Bucks for the eighth straight season, Chris. That's incredible. Eight straight years with a new kicker. He was the fifth round pick from you till he might have another new one next week. But he missed two extra boys yesterday, and then, of course he missed the potential game winner thirty four yard or that sailed wide right as time expired. Did Bruce Arians He took a delay of game there too.
Didn't need to push it back if I'm not mistaken, you know, yeah. In his news conference afterwards, he thought the delay of game in the extra five yards where to help his kicker. Boy, I'd like to see some numbers around that decision because I love Arians. I think he's a great coach, But boy, I do not understand that philosophy. Rams, as we mentioned, beat the Browns. Just so there it is Greg omen on Twitter, Bruce Arian says he took the delay penalty on purpose in final minute,
thinking Matt Gabe was better from a longer distance. Not so much Rams beat the Browns. As we talked about Rams m v P. Cooper Cup, we said that all past year, Levin catches the hundred two yards two touched and the Rams one minus two in turnovers. I'll say the Rams touchdown seems light. I'll say minus seven and a half. Hosting the Bucks. Yeah, you know it's ten right now. I'm not sure I like your number, but
I think it tends too high. You know. I know, Tampa baby of the game yesterday, Winston has improved, and I think a lot of it does go to Bruce Arians. And listen, you know he Winston fits the profile of an Arians quarterback. He helped Andrew Luck, he helped Ben Roethlisberger, he helped Carson Palmer. Now you've got a big, strong kid here, Jamis Winston. I think he's gonna help. Jameis Winston and I know a couple of guys to eating
me yesterday because I said that, actually he's getting better. Christie, I hate didn't gotta run, will come back. We'll continue that discussion. It's a numbers gamer right here at Visa.

The place to be Numbers Game, Gil Alexander, want to believe in the analytics our number two of the numbers game right here at Visa serious XP channel two of four Visa dot Com, the Visa APPA is, Gil Alexander, what's happening? I hope your Week three of the NFL was a
good one. Week four is what Chrissie and I Chris Andrews and Ivy sports book director here at the south Point Hotel casino or are dissecting my guests followed by what he's putting the number up at uh here right as we do the show, right here at the south Point Hotel, and they're in. They're in that exercise lies
hopefully some value. Gil and Chris guessing lines Week four. Chrissy, before the break there, I rudely interrupted you with commercials, so I do apologize, but basically what we've got going here is I've been pretty spot on on the shorter numbers, but when they get large, i've been way off. And this was one of them. We left at the break, and so I wanted you to get to finish your thoughts on this. I guess the Rams mind is seven
and a half hosting the Bucks and you said it's ten. Yeah, and I'm gonna open ten just because that's all I see. But I really kind of like get lower, to tell you the truth, I think, like I said Tampa Bay, I think it's getting better. Jamis Winston getting better. And the Aerans are good coach and uh just in the Rams, and they are obviously a really good team, but I'm not sure that they're a blowout kind of team, at
least not at this point. And you know, laying ten, you have to blow the other team out, and I'm not sure they have the right now. So I'm gonna take I like Tampa Bay with with the ten, I'm gonna open at dads, but if I see Lower, I'm gonna go down. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. I'm not sure the Rams are a blowout type of team. Yet they did blow up the Saints, but that was
without Drew Brees. Mid game, I mentioned Cooper Cup yesterday eleven for one oh two, two touchdowns versus the Brownies. Brandon Cooks eight for one, twelve rams or minus two and turn over. Still won the game. Todd Gurley, though, Chris, we'll wrap it up this game on this Todd Gurley fourteen carries forty three yards. I'm sorry, but I don't care what anybody tells me. That's a thing, and it's like it's a load management thing with him right the
arthritic knee. We've never gotten a point blank, straight explanation that this is what they're doing. But this is exactly what they're doing. And so that's that's a huge loss for them in the wash, you know. So yeah, I mean, listen, they used the number one first round drafts voice on the guy, and you paid him a ton of money.
And not that I care what guys make money wise, I mean, he's billionaires, you know, can a certainly affording, but it does affect the salary cap and where else you can spend money for some help on that team. So the team is very, very good, but they're they're certainly not flawless. And uh, you know, if you're gonna beat somebody in the NFL by more than ten, you've been already pretty close to flawless. You know, if you're gonna you're gonna beat that number. Yeah, and you're right,
jamis good. Good day. Yesterday three or thirty seven for three, three touchdowns and the pick to yards of offense for Tampa Bay in defeat. Now are these afternoon games? That was that an afternoon game? The Rams Bucks game. That was the first of the afternoon games. Yeah, let's do the rest of them. What do you got next? Seat at Arizona, Seattle, the Arizona. Well, I can't get the I can't get the Seahawks right because I was against him when I had the Steelers, I was for them.
Yesterday they got rolled by Teddy Bridgewater and the Saints final score, by the way, very cosmetic. Uh, this game was not at all as close as the uh twenty excuse me, thirty three to twenty seven final score, garbage toucheddown, I mean with the clock expired for Seattle yesterday, Russell Wilson thirty two of fifty for four oh six, two touchdowns, No picks, but again cosmetic in nature, a lot of
that just in catchup mode. Tyler Lockett eleven for a touchdown, five and fifteen total yards of offense for the man for the Mariners. For the Seahawks, they had been fifteen and oh at home since September of no longer, and they had Jadeveon Clowne and Zigianza in the lineup for the first time on the defensive line. Not really much zero sacks, only two quarterback hits um plus some bad clock management. You see the sequence at the end of the first half, Chris, where yeah, they Seattle got the
ball with twenty nine seconds left two time outs. They chose not to use the time out after a nine yard pass to display the tight end, and then Wilson uh took the next snap with ten seconds left. After Scrambley hits dk metcal for fifty four yards to the st sixteen. Seattle frantically attempted to call time out, and the refs are like, no, sorry, zero glad, you guys still have your two time outs left. So Seattle loses that.
But they're at Arizona. Arizona's O two and one. Arizona, as we mentioned it, be going away by Carolina Kyler Murray thirty forty three for one seventy three, two touchdowns, two picks, sacked eight times though eight times for sixty nine yards um. And again the thing this is for fantasy players. Opposing tight ends are crushing Arizona, so this is another game. Greg Olson six catches seventy five yards. Detroit's T J. Hockenson he had six catches for one
thirty one. Mark Andrews of the Ravens eight for once one twelve first week of the season. I believe it was where that was last weekend rather so tight ends are killing them. All of that to say that it's Arizona. So Seattle is still gonna be favored. And I want to say a fill those lights, so I'll say three and a half Seattle on the road, I see one, three and a half mostly four. I gotta tell you, I like four and a half here, and I'm gonna open a four and a half and take a bet
on Arizona. They'll probably beat me. But that's okay. There's a lot of things I do not like about Arizona. Number one, the coach, you know, I just see a lot of things that I disagree with and Kyler Murray. And I was like, I root for all these young quarterbacks. I really do. I want them to do well because I want to see the league do well. It doesn't do me any good if the league stinks, you know, I want to see the league be great. You know, just promotes a lot of betting. But I never I
thought Tyler Murray has a first round draft choice? Was the number one draft choice? Was just a mistake. He's two little and you know, he throws up some numbers yesterday. I know, if you look at this percentage, it was terrific. But how many yards did he have on you know, through the air? Not many? And he got sacked what was it six times? I mean, he's just too little and he you know, this guy is just not gonna last. And they comparing the Russell Wilson because Russell Wilson's kind
of smallish hype live. But Russell Wilson is a strong man. Just look at this guy. He's solid. I'll tell you what. I I know I had New Orleans yesterday. I liked them a lot, But Russell Wilson is fantastic. I just love the kid, and I think they rebound after that loss, I think they go in I really like Seattle on this spot. I'm gonna open four and a half and certainly take a bet. I'm sure they'll bet me on the dog, but I think Seattle is definitely the right
side here. Kyler Murray sacked eight times just to clarify on that game yesterday against Carolina, and I'm with you, I like Seattle here. I was a little light that I guess at the three and a half. I love Russell Wilson absolutely, absolutely do. Someone asked me, my buddy, Tim loss, It asked me yesterday Goes, could you please say on your show how anybody can figure this sport out any of these NFL teams out from week to week.
Seattle is a great example of that. Right beat Cincinnati by one point first week of the season, as nine point favorites go into Pittsburgh beat the Steelers. We don't. We don't think much of the Steelers anymore. And then yesterday really lay an egg against New Orleans. New Orleans, of course, had two touchdowns that were not offensive. Right, They had a I believe a fumble return for a touchdown and a punt return for a touch And if
I'm not mistaken, so that certainly helped the cause. Alright, so Seattle minus four and a half, that's where you're opening that one. I'm an open four and a half. Yeah, and this is this is one. I have a strong opinion. I like Seattle coming off a loss in Arizona. A lot of problems there, a lot of problems, a lot of problems. Indeed, all right, let's do one more here, Let's do a couple more. What do you got? Minnesota at Chicago, Minnesota at Chicago, NFC north UM alright, Sonnesota esterday.
By the way, Minnesota two and one. Chicago has not played yet. They're playing tonight against the Redskins. As we mentioned, five and a half point now five and a half point road favorites at the Morgue that is FedEx Field. They'll be at least twenty thousand Bears fans at FedEx tonight. Minnesota yesterday uh crushed the Raiders. Dalvin Cook sixteen carries a hundred ten yards and a touchdown. He goes past
the hundred yard mark for the third straight game this year. Remember, he missed nineteen of his first thirty four games in the NFL to a torn a c l as a rookie and then with a nagging hamstring last year. Vikings total rushed for two hundred eleven yards yesterday and kirk
Cousins turnover free. That's the main thing with Kirk Cousins fifteen of twenty one for one seventy four one touchdown note picks, and the Vikings did not even attempt a fourth quarter pass for the second time in two home games, the other one being against the Falcons. Not a single pass attempt in the fourth quarter. Uh sack free game for the first time. By the way, in kirk Cousins Vikings career, Chicago site un scene again borrowing something outlining tonight.
I will say Chicago because they're the home team division game, they will be the favorite. But I won't make it the full three. I'll say minus two and a half a Trabinsky discount. It's mostly two and a half. I see one too. I'm gonna open to two and a half. I spent Chicago to look decent tonight. Certainly their defense and this is listen, at this point in time, they're defensible, riented team. The Trabinsky You know, boy, they trained up to get this guy. But I don't know. That doesn't
look like that was a good move. But their defense is fantastic in Minnesota. I'm very impressed. And I'm not a big Cousins guy, not crazy about them. The boy the rest of that lineup I make it's very very strong. So there's a very good team. Uh, you know, I think Cousins can hold them back a little bit, almost the same with Chicago, but I really think Minnesota's, you know, fifty three man roster is a little bit better. But I'm gonna open to and a half. I think that's
an okay number. See where they want to take me from there, but you know, we'll see a lot tonight. I think out of Chicago, Viking still chasing the case Keenum quarterback high from two years ago with Kirk Cousins. By the way, Chrissy, let me just say this, my guess is on the short line, very good, very solid. I'm very proud of them, but again, way off on the big ones. Let's do uh the last you said, this is the last of the afternoon games. Last of
the afternoon games. Jacksonville at Denver. All right, Jacksonville and Denver. Let me just say right off the top that has to be three. There's nothing else you can make this game. We'll find out a minute. Jacksonville's extra rest here they're coming off the Tennessee win. Gardner minshook mania for Jacksonville. He was twenty thirty two oh four in that game.
Two touchdows, no picks. He has a seventy completion percentage, which is the highest in any quarterback's first three career games since the merger minimum minimum seventy five attempts um By the way, Jacksonville also did something weird in that game we talked about on Friday. They were up thirteen late with three left, fourth and goal and they don't kick a field goal. They just decided to turn it over and downs and complete past. That was odd Denver
yesterday though, the Flacco face, it's a real thing. He was sacked six times at green Bay yesterday. They were minus three in turnovers and for the third straight game, perhaps more notably, Von Miller, Bradley Chubb, Denver defense fails to record a sack or force a turnover. Wow. That I mean that more than anything is the damning thing about the uh, the Broncos. You probably you know, some people would expect what they're getting from Flaccope, that's the
real shocker. But it's gotta be Denver at O N three. They've got to be a three point favorite here, right and I can see that Denver defense crushing Gardner Minshew next week. Yeah it's three, and you know, like you're one for Nacy. How does anybody figure out in the NFL? I don't know, but this looks like one of those spots where Denver's looks so bad and now they're coming home against the hottest quarterback in the league. Of course they'll win the game. And when else's gonna happen in
the NFL? So yeah, I think three is a good number. Actually, actually three with some juice on the favorite, uh, three is a good place to start. Like I said, we do everything at eleven and tad here, so if they dent me up and I think the wise guys just have a feeling will be on Denver in this game. But I'm gonna open three. I think that's an okay number. But I think right now, Denver's probably the right side
in this game. Despite them being owen three and talking about coaching question marks, you know, Fangio so far has not impressed me as a as the head coach, although he certainly was a hell of a defensive coordinator for a long time. But then Placo has not to say he's not looked good as a huge understatement. But you know, they'll probably win this game. I think they probably will. Not like Denver here, but I'm gonna open three. So it is three, and I I like this game, Christie,
as much as any game we've gone through. I like Denver giving the points. I may live to as soon as I see the flag of face. I yeah, I like half open three. But I also think ye, both things are true. All right, So we're just up to the prime time games. We've done all the rest of them. Yes, okay, so let's take a break. Let's do the two primetime games at Sunday night and Monday night, and then after that the return of story time. Chris Andrews on a numbers game right here in Vison. Welcome back to a
numbers game with Alexander. By the way, another MLB brain Dead parlay winner this past Friday on the show. Just went through the south Point desk and cash that one. Nothing today because it's only five games, so no parlay day and by the way, the brain dead parlay is probably gonna last maybe two or three more days. We're not gonna go into the final weekend with him because then there's all kinds of teams sitting all kinds of players, So it might be the last couple of days that.
But it's been fun doing those None today with just a five games late, let's return two guessing lines for week four. By the way, Christie dos, anybody come up to your counter and go, I'd like an MLB brain dead parlay? Anybody doing that yet? But I'm I'm gonna I wish you wanted to tell everybody, Well, there it is corroboration. I always appreciate, appreciate that. All right, let's go to let's go to Sunday night, sir. What do we got Sunday night? We got a good one. Sunday night,
Dallas at the Saints. Oh, that is a good one. And it's also a good one because it's a it'll be an interesting guess and what the actual line will be.
So Dallas wins again, right, they cover, They beat and cover ultimately against the Dolphins, probably should have trailed at the half, but ultimately cover that game against the Dolphins Dallas is three and oh zeke yesterday nineteen Pollard thirteen for one oh three to touchdown a Maori six catches eight eight yards to Touchdow's four hundred seventy six total yards of offends. You get the idea, uh Dak Prescott, first Dallas team in forty one years to win its
first two games while rolling up at least four hundred yards. Now, now it's the first three games and at least thirty points each time. And so that's the first time they're three and o since two thousand and eight. But and let me just say the butt they've beaten the Giants, the Redskins in the Dolphins. Is that correct? Yes, all right, so that's a big butt. Let's throw that into the equation.
The Saints, Yes, yeah, Saints yesterday Bridgewater because remember Sean Payton was being kind of coy, a little bit of teddy, a little bit of tastom. It was all Teddy nineteen twenty seven for one seventy seven, two touchdowns. Note Picks three years removed from a knee injury that nearly ended his career. As his first win as a starting quarterback since January of sixteen, the final week of the season,
so everybody's pumped for Teddy Bridgewater. Good for him. Alvin Camara sixteen carry sixty nine yards, touchdown, nine catches ninety two and a touchdown against the Seahawks, but eleven penalties for seventy yards for the Saints yesterday, they did get as I mentioned, touchdowns on defense and on special team Tames that was probably the key to the whole things. Took some pressure off Teddy uh Deonte Harris with a punt return fifty three yards for scoring the first quarter.
Von Bell picking up Chris Carson's third lost fumble in three games fum politis for Chris Carson returned at three thirty three yards rather for a touchdown in the second quarter. So Dallas three and oh. But having played nobody at New Orleans two and one with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback at the Super Dome, I'm gonna split the difference here between a pick them and three, and I'll say it's New Orleans minus one and a half. And as I
say that, I embraced for a horrible guess. It's a horrible guest, but you know I'm with you, and it's it's three with juice on the favorite Dallas three. Yeah, oh give me the Saints, give me, say give me say wrong team favor. I really thought this game should be a pick them. But you know, everybody loves Dallas. I have never hidden my man love for Teddy Bridgewater.
I love the kid. I think, boy, what a costly injury he had, But you know he had a chance to work with with Peyton, who I think it is a very good coach and I think it's really going to get the best out of them. And you know, I think there's a great spot for the Saint and like you know, the button you sent on Dallas, Yeah, a huge but you know they've kicked the butts of some awful teams and uh, they're going in to New
Orleans on a Sunday night. Well, I'm gonna tell you, I think it's a tough spot for for Dallas and I love I like New Orleans a lot in this game. But I'm gonna open three and because they're gonna probably lay me the three and that's fine, they can have it, because I want to have New Orleans going for me next Sunday night to be. I love New Orleans. There, Wow, Dallas by three on the road at New World, I get into Steady Bridgewater. But that that atmosphere, man, all right,
that's a that's a fascinating one. What's Monday? Datty? And he didn't look great yesterday, but he looked good, you know, and uh, you know, another week with with Peyton coaching him, and you know's a lot of a lot of weapons on that team. But I'd like New Orleans and I hope Petty has a good career. I really do. That's a kid that I want. Sean Payton versus Jason Garrett. Let me just throw that out as well. Okay, yeah, very very good point, very good point. Monday night, Uh,
Monday Cincinnati at Pittsburgh. Well we have we have a good Thursday. I gave, we have a good Sunday. I gave I guess month Monday had to be sacrificed. Oh that's oh and three verses? Oh and three, isn't it. I have a really really good friends. I don't know if he'd be listening if he's the enditor of the Cincinnati Paper newspaper. Greek guy lived in Reno for a while. Really good friends. We usually have a bet on these games. And boy We're gonna really cry to each other this week,
you know. But our both our teams look horrible. But uh yeah, that's that's the matchup for Sunday per Monday Night again. Oh M three teams four in one hundred and forty. In terms of making the playoffs, only four teams that have started oh M three sixteen game schedule have made the playoffs in history. Cincinnati yesterday against the Bills, Remember they were down fourteen and nothing, that came back to lead at seventeen and fourteen, only to lose at
the end. They had four turnovers yesterday did the Bengals? They do cover got that one? I mean at the Bengals on the road twice now as as dogs, so they do get the cover. Um. But the Andy Dalton offense combined for ninety yards and three first downs on its first nine possessions. Let me said again, first nine possessions, ninety total yards and three first downs. Then, as I said, came alive, scored seventeen points on three consecutive possessions spanning
the third and fourth quarters. Uh they had third and five at Buffalo's twenty eight twenty seconds left and Micah Hide tipping Andy Dalton's pass and tended for autumn eight over the middle ball was intercepted by your Dave is White, Katie bar the door and then your Steelers. Um, this was amazing yesterday. This was an in game bet on the Niners for me. Yesterday the Niners were down four in turnovers and we're trailing six to three. It's incredible.
They were minus four in turnovers at one point yesterday and the Niners were trailing six to three. So I was all in on the Niners at that point. And by the way, it barely got there. Uh, they're the Niners to win that. Uh. Teams, by the way, who are minus four. It ended up being minus three on the Niners. But just for folks who who want to know the stat when when teams are minus four in turnovers,
they're oh and forty five in history. And I was in gaming the Niners because I'm like, this is unbelievable. They're down four turnovers and they're trailing by a field goal. For the Niners, it's their first three and o start in twenty one years, and they got problems though, I mean, they are not a clean team. Uh. Ultimately, as I said, minus three for the Niners turnover margin five total turnovers UH in their game against Pittsburgh and they bare really
beat the Steelers. But Mason Rudolf fourteen of twenty seven for one seventy four, two touchdowns and a pick. I guess you can't be that mad about Mason Rudolph. But they were out first down, if you will, twenty six to eleven by the Niners. They were out gained four thirty six to thirty nine. They were out possessed thirty six seventeen to twenty three forty three minutes, that is seconds. And the Steelers have their first oh and three start since two thousand. I mean Steelers by a field goal.
I guess, Chris Lazy, guess higher. It's four and a half and four, you know, but I'm gonna more. Wow, I thought. You know, you talked about Mason Rudolph. You know what his qb R was yesterday? Seven seven point seven. That's scored out a hundred boys and girls. Yeah, I'm behind. Falk from the Jets was the only one. He who also was a seven point seven for the two lowest qbrs in a day. And yeah, you look at some raw numbers without that QB or anything. Rudolph was okay,
he was terrible. It was awful, and you know, you're angry. How can you have you have four turnovers? Can't when they can't tease and I had listen. I'm like, I said, I'm not betting out of my pocket. I've been a couple of contests. I had Pittsburgh like on everything and we covered, you know, thank god. But boy, they looked just awful. You know, I'm gonna open four, Like I said, I see four, am four and a half. I'm gonna open four, you know, I mean, boy, they just they
look terrible. The only you know, Cincinnati at least it's coming. By the way, that Bengal game. It was a horrible game for the book yesterday because we had a ton of moneyline action on Buffalo and I've kind of action on Cincinnati plus six. So it fell right in the middle there there as this result for US. Uh. But you know, since the no grade shakes that, boy, I guess Pittsburgh four is okay, but anything that might be
a little bit high. I don't know, Bason Rudolph. I'd liked them coming out of college, you know, I'd liked them so far, but man, he looked, he looked just awful yesterday, just awful. Just forgive me for giggling, but could you could you really say what you really feel about? Uh? Pittsburgh minus four? I mean I have three. I don't see any justification why it's more than three. But okay, um, and I've hit the Bengals twice now as road dogs. I'm not racing to bet them here either. So it
is what it is, Pittsburgh minus four. We'll come back. We'll review all of it at the end of the show, what we like the best or what I like the best, and see what Chrissy's reactions are as well. But in between now and then, ladies and gentlemen, the return of story Time. You're ready to do this after the bake, Chris, I am. But let me just say, since we're talking about the Bengals, they feature prominently in today's story Time feature prominently any other teases has to do with big spreads?
Is that what you told us? It does? It does? It has to do with, you know, in memory of one of the big spreads yesterday, and there's some couple of well there's one big one this week too, So in honor of large spreads never before told or written story time coming up with Chris Andrews on a numbers game at Visa. Welcome back to a numbers game with Jill Alexander. A numbers game brought to you by eight Sleep.
The pot is the first bed designed to boost your performance more at eight sleep dot com slash v sen. For those of you who are just dropping on the show for the first time and you're like, what's this story time we're talking about, Well, for many years, at least three years, Chris Andrews was kind enough to come on the Beating the Book podcast that I did and still do for so many years. Um, and uh we
used to do guessing lines on that show. We still do, and uh, story time was well, let's put it this way, Chris told me a story once we're out at dinner, and UM sort of asked Chrissy, Hey, you know, like on on the shows, maybe tag shows with you know these stories? You probably have so many of them. And Chrissy was kind enough to do it for three years.
And Chris, I'm not exaggerating when I said that, not only did a book spawn from this, your great book, then one day, which is where your stories seem to turn on that phrase, but that no one cared about anything else we did besides your stories. After a while, yeah, and there's a lot of We gave out a lot of winners on that show too. By the way, here story time. By the way, before you get a book plug in, you just had a little one. Please you can get my book on Amazon then one day and uh,
you can find it on my Twitter. I have a pin tweet. You can find it there and then it's through Amazon. So if you like my stories, and this one isn't in the book, but there's a lot, there's a lot of good ones in the book. So uh, you know, everybody asked me you gonna write another one. If I write another one, this story will be in it. I love it. So usually this is where the woman would come in and say, hey, everybody, it's story time.
Hi everyone, it's story time, Chris. The floor is yours. Okay. Well, this is the first and probably only time that I was involved with somebody or I witnessed them literally go crazy. And I don't mean literally like the millennials do when they mean figura to believe, but they say literally, I mean literally in the literal sense. He went crazy. Okay, here's with that. So we had a radio show at KELN A good friend of mine, Barry Phillips h still one of my best friends. He called me up out
of nowhere. We didn't know each other. He was a radio guy out of the bey Are and he talked to me about having a l S show by getting the lines that like a handicapping show, will do it every Friday, We'll just do the NFL. So you know, we did it, and it was and for a matter of fact, there's still like an iteration of it that KELNVA doesn't hopes by Kenny Barlor now. So it's been going on for a long long time. They were Barry and I did like the first iteration of the show
and it changed a little bit over the years. Anyway, So we had different people on in that third seat, but for a while we had uh my swing ship supervisor. I'm gonna use his real name, let's just call him. Kevin was the third guy to see and it was pretty good show that Kevin was like good radio, very volatile, very passionate guy. And Kevin was a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan and Barry was being from the Bay area. He
was a huge forty fan. Of course, the Bengals were the worst steam in the league for a while and the Niners were you know, they went from Joe Montana to Steve Um. We had a great dynasty there. So anyway, with our m O was, we go to dinner before the show every Friday night. The three of us, we had dinner, kind of talked about, you know, where the lines are gone, with any injuries or anything like that. But it was just, you know, kind of a bonding thing. So we go to we go to dinner, and we
go to the show. Okay, so this game here, it was a Monday night game. So he goes through the Empire schedule of the last game on the schedule Bengal at the Niners, and the Niners are twenty four point favorites. Huge number, huge number. Is this the one we talked about? Just nothing? Is this the one we talked about? It was one of the biggest spreads of all time, right, was one of the biggest spreads of all times. So
that is what brought it up. So is where we're talking about, Yeah, okay, yeah, great Niner team with Steve Young a quarterback against the horrible Bengal team coach by David Shula. I can't remember who the quarterback look might have been shown. I can't remember anyway, Well, you get to the game, so you know, Barry, of course he's got like the Niners. And to come to Kevin, he says, well, not only is I like the Bengals plus the twenty four, I think the Bengals have a great chance to win
the game. So Barry clearly a joke. We're all three of us were friends, or so we thought. Clearly as a joke. Barry says, jeez, when we were out to dinner today, Uh did you put that white stuff in your iced tea? I stick it. It was this sugar. But now I could obviously had to be LSD. I mean, clearly a joke. He goes crazy on the air. We're on the air, we're sitting there, we're live. You know, he starts, you know, he like throws papers at Barry. He starts cursing, and I mean, I'm pretty much shocked
what's going on here. I mean, like I said, clearly that he goes he goes nuts, and he you know, and like I said, Barry, and I'm pretty sure Barry listened. Barry kept it together. Like I said, he was a real radio guy. He kept it together. Unfortunately, we're at the end of the show at this point and he, you know, signs off, and I'm not sure everybody out there in radio man knew exactly what was going on. But I mean, he goes nuts here on the air. And so now he storms up. Now he's supposed to
start your shift. He's my swinshift supervisor. So I is, Kevin, what are you doing? Like, I quit And I don't mean the show, I quit the caliva. I'm done with you. I'm done with Barry. I've had it, you know, you know, And and he storms out. So my one, you know, the second thing to me and on swift Eric Brownley Karen, as of this moment, you are not with swinging shift manager, You're and you know, and uh so, and I mean he storms out. I mean I'm like, well, I can't
believe what I'm witnessing. So anyway, he calls me about a day or two later and he says, listen, I apologize, I shouldn't have done that. I still quit, but I'm gonna give you a two weeks notice. And I said, Kevin thank you. I appreciate it. But what's done is done. I've already promoted Eric, and uh, you know, we're just gonna go with that. But I appreciated. Good luck to you in the future. Well, he goes nuts again on the phone, starts steaming and yelling at me, you know,
cursing me out. So you know I'm wind you know, our conversations over, I hang up. Well, he calls Bill mckill and Bill was the president general manager of the Caldever, he demands the meeting. He demands the meeting, you know. So anyway, Bill meets with him with me in the room, and he's gonna sue us for wrongful term and you know this whole thing, and how are you gonna sue
us for wrongful terms? Do you quit? You know you got termed because you quit and we have like witnesses and every I'm doing you for wrongful term and he goes damn. I don't know if he ever got a lawyer or not. I really don't know. Anyway, this continues. So now this starts a pattern. He starts writing letters and lots to the mail. But like you know, Barry would come in in the morning and slit under the door the marketing department will be a letter from Kevin,
like like threatening and like insane, and I get him too. Now, the sports book obviously was open a lot longer than marketing was, so you know, he throws the letters behind the counter, and you know, my guy coming into the opening in the morning, Hey, I got this envelope for my name, and it's like pretty much every day, every day. So he comes in about a week later, and he had and he had bought a suit, like a cheesy, cheesy suit, and he comes in, I'm now in the mafia.
And you know, you guys are in big trouble. I'm in the Mafia's not how the mafia. You know, you're not even Italian, that's number one, you know. So it's not power. There's not how the mafia work. And you don't show up a week later and say I'm in the box, ya know. So he's in the mafia, you know, like I said, were in this cheesy suit. Now another week goes by and I'm swear to God this is all true. Another week goes by, kid grown a goatee, he comes in, he's wearing a turban. I'm a seek warrior. Um,
I mean get you. And he's a sequel and I'm thinking I don't know much about sea warriors, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works either. You know, he's a searrior. So you know, again, we're getting the letters pretty much every day. Me and Barry comes in. Another week later. He's got like the long black duster on and a black cowboy hat. He's now a Texas Ranger. Oh man, yeah, I mean, I swear to god he
comes in he's now a trick As Texas Ranger. So okay, finally, you know, and like I said, we're getting the letters and letters and you know, and they're confirming he's been in them. Off, he's a Sea Warrior Texnas Ranger. Now kind of like the last iteration of it. He's now the Gray Ghost. Now I'm sure you don't I'm sure
you don't know who the Gray Ghost is. The Gray Goat was some guy I want to say named Mosby or Mosley something like that, and Kevin claimed that this was his great great great Gray Humple who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. He was the Gray Ghost and he had all these raids on northern positions, etcetera, etcetera. And they never taught they never caught the Gray Ghost whenever he died whatever, the Union soldiers and you know, they never got this guy. So he was now the
gray Ghost. And by the way, this to backup, this is how crazy this guy was. He really thought that the world would have been better off had the Confederacy won the war. Okay, which I'm there's a few people that think that. He also had a girlfriend who was this beautiful black woman who you know, and wealth educated and all that. I would just you know, somewhat consisted somewhat, yeah,
I would say so. And like I said, I mean, this is a beautiful, well educated black woman I met a couple of times and it was like a terrific girl. And I I didn't want to get involved in their relationship. How are you putting up with this nut job? You know? But you know that's the way. He wasn't like that. He was tremendously passionate about about pretty much everything in life. Anyway, Barry and I, you know, we were we were pretty close. We're still pretty close. But we did a lot of
stuff together. And now, like I said, Kevin was also like a huge baseball fan, but he had things like that, we're just you know, I know you're a baseball fan too, but he had like these weird things about baseball or one of them was he felt Smokey Joe would should have been in the Hall of Fames it wanted for him. I wouldn't have no idea who Smokey Joe. Yeah, that was you know, Bmokey Joe Wood. So he's got like that historical app Bug game. Do you remember that game?
A p B A app buck. It was a baseball game, kind of a predator and it was based on statistics and all this stuff. You know. Yeah, eventually a pretty good game. I planned it a couple of times, but I would play like it would be almost like mad or like a new version will come up and maybe not every year, vaguely, and then they then they had the historical game. So this is so then one day where me and Barry were, you know, and I can't
remember like what day of the week it was. I know it wasn't a weekend, but it was like a day a week day. He starts calmings and you know, Smokey Joe would just struck out, Babe, Ruth and he hang up, and like he would call me and Barry and and there was like about seven or eight guys on the list, and that's all I would say. Smokey Joe would just struck out Joe the magic clip. He'd hang up. I mean this went on for like hell hours.
Are you laughing? Like what are you doing? Are you just doing I'm laughing, But we've had these threatening letters. So I'm thinking, I'm not sure how bunny this is, you know. So I I get a hold of Bill mqugh, you know, our our boss, and I said, Bill, well, you gotta do something. I mean, this is first of all, you know, again Millennials, we didn't have caller ID. When your phone rang, you answer it, you know. And I'm answering my phone in my office because of course he
had my office number and Barry's office number. He was a you know, he was a supervisor for a long time. So he's calling us, and that's what You've got to pick up the phone. You don't know if it's one of your bosses or what, you know, And Smokey Joe would just struck out Willie may you know clip man? And so anyway, I get a hold of Domakiss, so
we gotta do something. I mean it depended in scene and that goes as all right, So he gets he gets the lawyer and they drop a quick uh you know, season's assist order and the other sheriff's gonna go deliverance, you know. So anyway, I forget what me and Barry are doing. So me and Barrier kind of run around doing something. We walk into the marketing office and Barry, you know, had like a few people working for and
he is secretary. I walk in and she's on the phone and I could see she's like in a panic. I walk in. I remember I'm one of the owners of the county. But this point, so I walk into, she like waves me down, you know, and I could see like her eyes are like, you know, biggest saucers. To use a cliche, uh, do we have uh any comment on the Kevin White situation? And I looked at well, well, no, we don't have any comment on it, you know, no,
And now she's your pinking. Oh he's barricaded himself in his apartment and the police are are gonna knock the door down, and every news station in Reno is covering it. Live. Well, for sure, we don't have a comment on the cap. Yeah, but now Barry and I we run up to the sports before I have all these TV I turn and yeah, it's on every news station and we know live You cops are surrounding it, and he's and he's shouting out you know whatever he's shouting out. I don't know, Oh
my god, what the hell has happened here? So me and Barry looking should we go out there? You know, I mean it's because of us as this whole thing started. Maybe we could help in some way, you know. So Barry and I jumped in the car. We head out to his apartments. Cops are surrounding it, you know, the red lights are flashing, you know, and we go. We
find you know, the captain. Asked the captain, We say, uh, you know, we kind of brief him on the story, and even like the ghost tell us it's weigh beyond that. At this point, there's nothing you can do, and one point anything because like they're trying to just you know, serve in the papers is what they're trying to do, and me embarrassing that and we hear this loud bang very I we both like hit the deck like you know, in a Nano bang. We said that the captain looked
at boys. It's just an arrogant. We're trying to knock the door and knocker, guys here one bang down we go that we I told that story to Barry's daughters. You know, they're yeah, they you know, they worshiped their father, of course, you know, and they were dying and laugh when they thought it was hilarious. There's tough guy. Dad hit the ground like who My kids laughed too when
I tell him that story. So anyway, so anyway, they know that they finally you know, they get in there, they take them out and handcuffs and now this is all on live TV, and you know, cameras are right in the space and you caught them. You finally caught the gray Ghost. You caught the Gray Ghost. You know, you finally caught them to all these years, but you finally caught him. And Barry and I were kind of trying to hide back behind the bushes. We don't want to even want him to see it, you know. So
you got you gotta grades. So now again they take them away in the patty wagons, handcuffed the whole thing and then they interview the captain, the guy that we were talking to, you know what happened. He's given the story and then yeah, they took them away cleanly to be like the silver Shadow or something like that, or the silver Spirit. You don't even get the respect of
being called the gray ghosts on the way out. Anyway, they them, they take him to jail, and uh and that like they asked us and nas to count me. They don't want to press charges when you know, we really don't want to press charges. I mean, we just want them out of our hair. And uh so believe in our account, Nabel was pretty well connected politically, you know, with with the whole system. And Reno said, listen, if we just get him to leave town, to leave town,
go back home he was from. I don't you want to say what state is one of the southern state obviously, you know, let's you know, one of our guys, our head of security will escored him back home on the airplane. Make sure he gets off the airplane and then he'll fly back to me. You know, as long as he does that, we won't press charges. And that's kind of
the end of the story. They sure that he did get home and got off the plane, and uh, you know, it's been what twenty five years or twenty six years or whatever, and I haven't heard from since, and I certainly don't hope to hear from him again, never until now. Chrissie's listening right he's listening right now. He's not a fan of I know we want, but I hope. I am now a Seek Warrior. We'll come back. It's a great I can't believe that story didn't make the book
or the po We'll come back. We'll recap our favorite picks of the week. And uh, in case of those of you want to know who the great Ghost actually was, we have some historical historical word on that and how that Niners Bengals game actually turned out that day. It's coming back. It's a Numbers game storytime with Chrissy right here at Visa. Welcome back to a Numbers game with Jill Alexander, Chris Felika texting, May I should start every show, every Numbers game by saying, I am a Seek warrior.
I am now a Seek warrior. By the way, seek a religion of peace, JB. You point out off the air, so we should we should point that out as well. Uh. By the way, the score of that Niners Bengals game that started all of this downward spiral into just crazy town. Niners won that game twenty one to eight, did not cover the twenty four to spread twenty four point spread. Bengals felled to one and eleven under Dave Shula. There in Chrissy on the pay on the screen. I don't

If it does, you know, I don't have I got my I got my gone that screen. I'll have to let me st know. Texted to week you know, I don't know. I don't know. If it did, I wouldn't want to say. So let's I was gonna say. If it does, it got creepy all real quick. If it does, that's for sure. That's an outstanding store. We
appreciated um real quick. Here the games that I liked the most. Here we have thirty seconds the games that I liked the most. Uh, Denver three point favorites over Jacksonville. That should be lined. But that's what I like the most. I think New Orleans. I like, which is I believe the wrong team is favorite against Dallas. Uh, and then the other ones. I mean I like. I like a lot, which scares me. I like Baltimore giving U what is it a touchdown against the Browns five and a half
I'm open TOI. Oh yeah, I had a touchdown. So I really like Baltimore and UH kind of like New England, kind of like Seattle. Anyway that I like a lot, which scares me. Christie, I gotta go though. That was an outstanding I am now in the mafia. Pretty pretty sure that's not how it works. I love that line, Christie, thank you will do it again next week, my friend? Yes, well, immediately enjoy good luck everybody with tonight's game in d C.
