The Fifth Hour: BENNY VS. THE PENNY (Week 3)

and welcome back to the PODCAST, do Joe. This is not your normal run of the mill edition of the fifth hour, not that it ever is a run of the mill edition of the fifth hour, but it is Friday, that's when we're recording this, and it's NFL week number three, so let's strike up the band and bring in the penny. Here we go. Welcome players, you're welcome. It's time now penny versus the penny. All right now, we are welcome and, as always, the voice of the Penny back again for

week number three, is Danny G radio. So before we look ahead, Danny, we've got to look back at what happened in week number two. Not Not a good week. I got burned on not one, not two, but three games. I had three bad beats. I gave you Cleveland against the jets and was winning that game with a couple of minutes to go and the Browns decided to drop a Turd right on the logo there, Danny. So they lost that game. Your raiders. Your raiders decided to not

finish the game against the cardinals. I gave the eighters out as a selection. So I lost that. And the L A rams at a three lead over the Atlanta Falcon. I guess they decided at a halftime that was unfair. So they decided that they would just go out and not really try for a stretch in the second half. So I lost that one. So I was looking at for a good stretch, Danny. I was looking at a ten and six week. Again, the bad beat spit me and it took us. So I went seven and nine.

It's a losing record. The Penny, the beneficiary. The penny went nine and seven against the spread. So with no knowledge, no information, the penny had a winning week yet again. And so overall. Now if you look at the overall records, I'm still got a winning record thanks to week one, seventeen and fifteen. That's a five thirty one winning percentage against the spread. The Penny, though, has now taken a two game lead. The Penny is nineteen and thirteen and

that is a five ninety four winning percentage, Danny. So the penny has yet again gotten off to a good start here after that crazy week. I am the pennies representation. The penny had a little sit down with me and it's talking about wanting Aaron judge money right now. Yeah, well, at some point the penny is gonna demand to be on television or something like that. At that point we might just throw the penny away. It just just might happen.

So the way this works again, if you're new to the PODCAST, if you've never heard penny versus the penny, it is sports handicapping for the regular guy. We crunched the numbers. I crunched the numbers. It's man versus versus an adamant object. Who can pick more winners, someone who spends time researching the game has no life like yours truly, or a piece of copper? Uh, and we'll find out. So let's get right to it here for a week. Number three will start out in the early television window.

Baltimore One and one at New England one on one. It's on fuck with Joe Davis, the Voice of the dodgers, and Darryl Moose Johnston on the call. The Ravens opened a three point favorite in this game. They are favored by three. That line has stayed flat. It's the Patriots home opener. As far as the handle is concerned, over sixty of the money is on Baltimore. Supposed to be

a typical September day there in New England. No in Clement weather, temperatures in the high sixties at Gillette Stadium at kickoff, and the Patriots, since Tom Brady left, as a home underdog, are three and two against the spread. The ravens are seventeen eight in two with Lamar Jackson when he has started on the road. So those are some of the trends. The pick is in. I'm taking the Patriots and I'll tell you why I don't trust the Ravens, even though they've been so good on the

road with Lamar Jackson. That defense is atrocious. In Baltimore they've got the worst past defense in the NFL. To a tongue about low lit him up late JOE FLACCO had over three hundred yards the week before. Uh, this is what we call a slump buster game. Mac Jones played better in Pittsburgh last week and now he's going against a rag tag secondary, no consistent pass rush for the Ravens. Should be plenty of time to pick apart

the Baltimore defense. Now I expect Lamar Jackson to do his thing, but patriots will win their home over their New England and the Ravens. Twenty Four. The final penny is also going with the Patriots. Okay, so we agree on that game. The penny clearly feeling like they need to piggyback off my work. Next Up, Baltimore two and Oh at Miami two and Oh. It's on CBS with Kevin Harlan and Trent Green. And I don't know about you, Danny and the penny, but this is a game that

I circled. I want to watch this game. I'm interested to see what Miami can do against the big bad bills. Who are I had to check my notes on this. The bills opened a four and appoint favorite and they are favored by six in this game and everyone and their uncle betting on Buffalo. overight of the handle is on buffalo side. Typical Miami Weather, rain showers, light rain showers, temperatures in the mid eighties at hard rock stadium a kickoff.

So if you look at some of the trends coming into this game, that tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Buffalo is seven and Oh straight up and five and two against the spread in their last seven against Miami. The bills against the A F C East over the last ten Games are eight and two against the spread. But Miami, Miami, Miami, and the two a tongue of Baloa era. When the dolphins have been a home underdog, they've won seventy percent end of

the time. They are seven in three against the spread in Miami. Overall. Their last fifteen games at hard rock stadium has been eleven and four against the numbers. So there's a lot of different ways you can look at it, you can slice it up, but I'm taking the dolphins here at home. I know everyone loves the bills and the bills have been great the first couple of games. Josh Allen has treated these defenses like Plato, but the dolphins have the kind of talent that can throw a

monkey wrench into all that. It's a short week for the bills. They go to South Beach, so you've got all those mini distractions, and Miami has the long range missile launchers with tyree kill and Jalen waddle, and so this should be a shootout. I love getting almost a touchdown with Miami, a good offensive team. So I say the bill's wagon hits a pothole here. Final score. Bills will win, but not cover. Buffalo Forty one and the dolphins thirty eight. The penny says you're crazy. The bills

are gonna take this the bills. News Flash to the penny. The bills are not going to win and cover every game of the season and the playoffs. So knock it off, as Ryan Leaf said back in the day, that old charger quarterback. Next up for us we go to New Jersey and that is the scene where the Cincinnati Bengals, at Oh and two, take on the New York jets at one and one. It's on the CBS with Iron Eagle and Charles Davis. They have the call. The bengals opened up a six and a half point road favorite.

Then people realize, wait a minute, they lost to the cowboys last week and their backup quarterback. But the line hasn't changed that much, e. A five point line, Cincinnati favored on the road. Almost eighty five percent of the money is on the bengals. This is one of those games where everyone seems to think the bengals just show up and they collect to win, an easy win, a blowout win. Sunny, mostly sunny, seventy three degrees that kick

off at metlife stadium. Now, if you look at some of the trends on this game, the Bengals, in the Joe Burrow era, have played four games as a road favorite there, two and two against the spread. The jets are five, one and one their last seven against the Bengals, but I think that goes back to the boomer Ossias in here. They don't play that often. That said, the pick is in and I am gonna take the J E t S. jets, jets, jets. The main reason is I don't believe Joe Burrow is there and he's got

rubbery legs. If you lose to Mitch Drabinsky and Cooper Rush, you can certainly lose to Joe FLACCO. I've been burned, though, by the jets. I Bet, I bet on the jets. In Week one I lost. I bet against the jets. In week two I got burned by that comeback in Cleveland like gang green's gotta do a better job of

getting into the quarterback. Something's going to give here, because the jets only have five quarterback pressures and three sacks this year, while Cincinnati's offensive line is allowed thirteen sacks. So I said last week I wasn't gonna bet on the jets again, and here I am. I'm taking the jets. I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'm betting against Cincinnati until I see a pulse, until I see some heart.

With that Bengal team, they need a flea bath. I'm taking the Bengals to win, but the jets to win the money getting those five points. I'll take the five points. Bengals twenty seven, jets twenty six. The final the penny is also living dangerously on this one. Going with the jets. All right, we agree on that. Next up, as we do, Benny versus the penny exclusively on the podcast. Tell a friend, as we give you inside information every game against the spread.

Sunday Monday we got you covered. New Orleans, one and one at Carolina in an NFC south Donnie Brook Panthers come in and Oh and two, it's on Fox. Dan Helly and Matt Millen have the call. The saints opened up a two and a half point favorite. The line on this game is favorite by three. That this is not going to have a wide television audience. Uh, this game the Panthers surprisingly getting over seventy of the money.

Mostly Sunny, eighty two degrees that kick off at Bank of America Stadium, and so Jamis Winston has played Carolina a lot, going back to his Tampa days, and he's been in this division his entire career. In the last ten matchups, Jamis Winston's just four and six against the spread when he's played Carolina and since this has been a back and forth seesaw type of situation as the last six games. If you've been on Carolina, I know you won three. If you've been on Atlanta, you won three.

Head to head and the pick on this game. I've gone back and forth on this, but I'm taking Carolina. It's really a game set up for the penny here. Both these teams have been befuddled heading this matchup. Carolina just playing well enough to lose on late field goals. Uh. The Saints One and one, needing a helter skelter come back to beat the Lowbi Falcons back in week one. So again it's even match up. A slight lean to Carolina. They have the healthier quarterback, although not a good quarterback,

in Baker Mayfield. Alvin Kamara is supposed to be back for New Orleans, but Jamis Winston's got a bad back. He's got another injury now on top of that. Carolina. They win, this time by a field goal. Panthers Twenty three and the Saints Twenty. Your final take the panthers plus the points and the penny goes with the saints to the Penny going the other direction. On that game. Well, press on Detroit one and one at Minnesota One and one.

It's on Fox Brandon Gowden and some guy named Brady Quinn who I think does some radio show or something like. I don't know. I never heard of him. Kind of big time. He was in studio the other day. He usually doesn't show from Florida. I was hobbling. I'll explain why later on in the weekend, and he he walked by me, you know, did not say hello. That was not the proper respect, but he probably left as signed football for you. Of course. Who doesn't need a Brady

Quinn Autograph Football? All right, the vikings are a six point favorite. They opened up an eight point favorite. As far as the handle on this game, the money part of it, over SI is on the lions. Mostly Sunny, sixty four degrees that kick off at US Bank stadium. If you look at some of the trends in this game with jared golf and Dan Campbell, the Lions are eight and two their last ten against the spread and they're also eighting to their last ten as an underdog,

so that's pretty good. Minnesota is just two and five against the spread their last seven when they've had less than six days of rest. Remember, the Vikings played not well in the Monday night game. So the pick is in. I'm taking the lions in this game Detroit. I love this aiden Hutchinson. He's been a great gift, Manna from Heaven there for the Lions Defense. He's living up to the building of a top draft pick and he should wreck havoc on kirk cousins. Not Neither one of these

teams has a great defense. The good news is this is not a prime time game, so cousins will not seemingly poop the bed like he does in every other primetime game. This is not that. It's early. The lions are averaging over thirty five points per game. They've got some sneaky good playmakers. This game figures to be who has the ball lass is going to win. It should be a track meet. I love me Detroit plus the points here with Dan Campbell. This comes down to the

bitter end. Lions the right side here as a live road dog. Detroit. The dogs are marking Detroit thirty eight, Minnesota thirty five. The final. The Penny says the Vikings are gonna be the victors and the penny's a dumbass. All right, please, none of that nonsense with the penny. Alright, moving on as we continue. Benny versus the penny. The next game up. Any meany mighty mall. Let's go now to in the Annapolis Canah City, two and Oh at Indianapolis, Oh, one and one. It's on CBS with Jim Nance and

tone knee role mall. That is the match up. That is the broadcast team. The line on this game. The chiefs opened a three point favorite. Then, after watching Indianapolis Puke all over the field and Jackson will get shut out, the chiefs got bumped up to a five and a half point favorite. A five and a half point favorite for Kansas City, and this game being played at Lucas Oil stadium, a dome, so the weather not a factor. Kansas City you think of them blowing everyone out, dominating.

But when the chiefs have been favorite on the road by seven or more points with Patrick Mahomes, they're just five and five against the spread. And the last ten games the chiefs have played against teams with a losing record, they are three and seven. The colts, for whatever reason, have had Andy Reid's number of late. Last eight matchups. The colts are six and two against the spread and I am gonna take the colts in this game and tell you why. You throw caution the win. It's part

of this this gamming. I know he did a monologue this week ripping the Indianapolis Colts Quarterback, Matt Ryan. He has looked old, he has looked slow, he has looked like he should go to the glue factory, and indie overall has been an embarrassment. There is no excuse for not being able to go off to a tour, and

I start with Houston and Jacksonville. That said, everyone is betting their their mortgage, it seems like, on Kansas City and there's a lot of big bets that have come in on the chiefs and Patrick Mahomes has been living on a high wire act. If you look at the some of the advanced stats, he has the eighth highest turnover worthy play rate among quarterbacks, but he has no interceptions. Eventually that is going to catch up to you. Those receipts become due and you're gonna have to pay the man. Uh.

Is this the week? The Culture gonna need some of that. They're getting guys back. They've had a lot of players out wide, receivers, defensive players who are allegedly they're getting some of those players back, uh, and we'll see if that happens or not. But Jonathan Taylor will be able to get some yards there against the Kansas City defense, and there's a rule if it looks too easy, it probably is to go the other direction. The chiefs win,

but the colts win the money. Kansas City thirty three, Indianapolis thirty the final and the penny is gonna go with the chiefs. Okay, so the penny taking the chiefs on that one. We move on now to Danny G's Las Vegas Raiders. The raiders, they're traveling circus, heads to Nashville, Tennessee and match up with the titans. Couple of Oh and two teams. It's on Fox, so you better watch. Our old pal friend of the show, Kenny Albert, along with Jonathan Vilma, have the call. The Game Open. To

pick them. The raiders are actually a two and a half point favorite. The money is almost even. There's a slight lean to the titans and the forecast calls for some light rain in the area. Temperatures in the mid seventies at Nissan Stadium for kickoff. Not Too many trends on this game. The raiders are two and five against the spread their last seven as a road favorite. They've been a terrible bet as a road favorite. But what

the hell, I'm taking the raiders here. This is more of a play against the Tennessee titans than it is on Las Vegas. The titans are a disorganized bunch. Now they have a short week. They're a battle scarred team. They lost their top Lineman, the rock of that offensive line, Taylor Luwan, he's gone, and Eric Henry, as good as he has been. Are you going to be able to run the ball if you fall behind? They fell behind against Buffalo and Henry was averaging less than two yards

for the balance of that game. The raiders should have, could have, would have beaten Arizona. It's the same old raiders like get a big lead, blow it, and I know that Derek Carr can't give me an entire game, but one good half from car should be enough this week, because Ryan Tandell is that bad and all the injuries, the raiders defense should be able to keep tannehill under wraps. So the raiders get their first win and the Josh mcdaniels Hera at Raiders Thirty and the Titans Twenty three

is your final. Wow, this is the very first time that the penny has picked the raiders. Is that a good omen? Oh well, we'll find out on Sunday afternoon whether or not you're in a good mood or a bad mood. All right, next up, PHILADELPHIA. Oh my God, the Eagles are some God. Oh my God, that's what everyone's saying right now. Eagles two or old hey. They did kick the snot out of the Vikings of the money night game and Washington is one and one. It's on Fox with Adam Amin and mark slayer. They have

to call. The Eagles opened up a three point fat and they went up to their nest and they're now a six and a half point road favorite. Down six and a half point road favorite. Slight lean as far as the handle to the birds. And again the forecast year's rain showers overnight, but by the time kickoff comes around, temperatures in the mid seventies at Fedex field. Some of the trends on this game. Ron Rivera's coach. Washington has

a winning record as a home underdog. They're six five and one, and the team formerly known as the Redskins is ten four and one their last fifteen when they play a team that is coming off short rest like Philadelphia. So I am gonna take the commanders in this game. That's right, I'm taking come at Carson Wentz revenge game, although I'm not betting this game because of Carson Wentz. Not a big selling point. Although he has gone over three hundred yards, he makes a lot of mistakes. Three

yards every game. Jalen hurts put on a clinic against the Vikings. I don't think you can play any better than that. There's gonna be a bit of a regression to the mean. Everyone is loading up on the eagles now. In general, there's been a lot of big bets on Philadelphia. The value is on Washington divisional game. You're getting almost a touchdown and I realized that Washington is a pedestrian team.

They're not really good. They're not really bad in any area offense and defense, but getting that almost a touchdown here at home too much for me to pass up. So the eagles will win it, but the commanders will win the Bet Philly and the commander's twenty one. The final penny likes jalen hurts and the eagles. Alright, the Penny's going with the chalk. Living dangerously betting big road favorites. Next up for us the last of the early games and the television window. Houston all one on one at

Chicago at one on one. It's on CBS with Andrew Catalan and James Lofton. The bears opened up a three point favorite. The bears are still favorite by two and a half and the handle UH slight lean to the Houston Texans, as temperatures in the low seventies, a kickoff at soldier field, and Chicago with Josh or Justin Fields under center. They are three and seven, three and seven against the spread their last ten with Mr Fields. The bears are also one in six against the spread their

last seven after playing Green Bay. So this is a very tough game to handicap because both teams blow. The bears suck more than the Texans, slightly, slightly, although the game is in Chicago. Neither quarterback here is worth their salt. Certainly not telling you to bet on the Texans because if Davis Mills the guy's a bum, but at least Houston will attempt the forward past justin fields isn't hiding for Chicago, and you have to continue to bet against

the bears. They are the quintessential hot mess. They don't really run the ball well, they don't even try to throw the ball well. They have a pretty mediocre defense and now as we get later in the season, still early in the season, but as we get further on, the injuries start piling up. So I will take the Texans Seventeen and the bears sixteen. Houston the right side in this game. The Penny is going with the Texans. Okay,

so agreement on that particular game. Next up for US Jacksonville at the Los Angeles chargers of Inglewood, and both these teams coming in one and one. It's on CBS. Greg Gumbel, who ate sports talk radio, and Adam Arch Aletta, oh I worked with years ago at NBC. Those are the broadcasters for this game and the game open up the chargers a nine and a half point favorite, a massive number. It's went down. The chargers are still favored

by seven and the handle in this game. The numbers that we have about seventy, little more than that on the side of the chargers. Typical l a day so fi stadium, not a dome. So Fi, it's not a dome because it's open on both sides. Eighty one degrees and Sonny in the hood in Inglewood. And as far as the trends are concerned, couple of stand out here.

chargers are seven and all against the spread their last seven head to head with Jacksonville, but remember they don't play that often and the Jags, with Trevor Lawrence under center, have been one in six against the spread on the road their last seven. So it has not gone well for Lawrence on the road. It hasn't gone well for Lawrence just about anywhere in Jacksonville. But I'm gonna take the Jackson this game. Justin Herbert's got bad ribs. He

is expected to play, as we're doing. Benny Brusus the penny, but what version are YOU gonna get? The chargers do have a little bit of extra rest. That should give them a bump. They played on the Thursday night game. But I've liked what I've seen from Jacksonville. They had the lead in week one, they blew it against Washington and then in week two they played a complete game against the banged up colts team. But you look around and you're like, Hey, wait a minute, defense, we'll be

able to get some pressure. Jacksonville's defense against Herbert forced him into some mistakes. Meanwhile, we love Trevor Lawrence. He had the best game, the greatest game he's had as a pro since coming out of Clemson. He finally looked like the guy that was the Unicorn quarterback, and so we are going yet again with Jacksonville this week. We'll take the jazz EGS. Third Week in a row we're on the side of the team from Duval County, but the chargers will win. The jags will cover the line

and win the bet. chargers thirty Jaguars the final. Did you miss that breaking news for Montery the other day? No, I did not hear that. What was the breaking news from our friend months Herbert was seen at practice skipping. Oh really, was he skipping like like an elementary school playground skipping? Are you sure that he wasn't eating skippy peanut butter, that that was what he was he was

possible he was eating that and the peanut butter. The Penny says fuck, you're skipping and his going with the JAGS. All right, so we agree on that game. Next up, Green Bay at Tampa Bay. It's on Fox Kevin Burkhard and Greg Olsen. The bucking years opened up a three point favorite. They are favored by one in this game and about seventy over seventy percent of the money is on the cheeseheads. If you look at the handle at Raymond James Stadium Sonny and temperatures in the mid eighties.

That kick off some of the trends going into this game. The buccaneers eight and two against the spread their last ten home games on Sunday. That's a lot of qualifiers. Tampa is ten, four and one against the spread the last fifteen at home in Tom Brady's reign. Uh. And you go back and forth on these things and I I have settled on the home team. I'm gonna take the buccaneers in this game. It's the game I went back and forth on. Tom Brady has looked his age.

He's played more like the guy at the end when he was with the Patriots then he he has like the guy that showed up in Tampa the first couple of years. He's been sluggish. Mike Evans is not playing. He got suspended and I think that Danny G radio is actually starting as the third receiver in the Bucks Office. They're going flotsam and Jetsam at receiver. So despite that, I just I'm going with Tampa here. I don't trust

the packer wide receivers. A ween over the teddy bears the last week does not give you any kind of street cred in my book. So these teams are evenly matched. I do like the Tampa Defense, which has been the real deal here. To rock the boat, the packer boat, buccaneers, packers one the final and the penny is going with Tampa. Okay, so another game where we agree on next up, ATLANTA AT SEATTLE. Atlanta Falcons coming oh into Seattle. One and one. It's on Fox. Part of the Fox Sports Radio ALUMNIS

those station. Chris Myers has the call and Robert Smith. Robert Smith as also in the booth there, the old Ohio State Buck Guy Back in the day. So the lion opened up Seattle by three. This game is a pick them and a large, large percentage of the handle is on the side of the Falcons over close to n and that normally raises a red flag to me, as this game will be played at Lumen field, has had a lot of names over these by couple lumen field there in Seattle, sunny and temperatures in the seventies

of kickoff. Trend in this game Seattle five and ten, the last fifteen as a favorite of seven points or less. And so against my better judgment, I'm gonna take the Falcons. But the real reason here is I'm betting against Geno Smith. The Real Geno Smith has arrived. Get the vomit comment ready. He's a pilot of the vomit comment. Neither one of these teams is really any good, but Atlanta has has shown some some push here on offense. They did take advantage of some Ram mistakes last week to get back

in the game. They also had a big lead that they blew against New Orleans, and so these teams are relatively even and I say Atlanta gets their first victory of the season. They will win this game outright. Falcons twenty and the seahawks thirteen. The final and the Penny is going with the sea chickens. The sea chickens, it is all right. Next up we get to the last game in the early television window of the L A R I am is at one and one in the

Arizona Cardinals, also at one on one. It's on Fox, Kevin Coogler and Mark Sanchez, sanchies, the Butt Fumble Guy, on the call. Yeah, you know the rams are not playing well right now when Mark Sanchez is calling a lot of their games there that's that's the sign things are not going particularly well. The rams opened up a four and a half point favorite. They are favored by three and a half now, and the money mostly on

the cardinals. The public was smitten with Arizona's comeback in Vegas last week, cardinals getting almost seventy of the action. I don't understand. Now the rams have done very well. There was that one hiccup against Kyler Murray, but there's six and one against the spread with kyler Murray as the opposing quarterback, and the last ten matchups that the rams have had sean McVeigh against the cardinals, the rams are nine and one against the spread. So I'm on

the side of Los Angeles. I'm gonna take the rams this week. Now the rams have been sloppy. They made a lot of mistakes. Matthew Stafford's an interception machine, but Sean McVeigh has to be licking his chops the great offensive mine. The rams offense returned last week against the Falcons, and Arizona has the second worst past defense in the NFL. Matthew Stafford and that air attack with Cooper Cup and friends. The cardinals win last week was much more of a

fluke than anything else. It is back to reality for Alligator Arms Murray. No fans will be slapping him this week, but the Rams Aaron Donald will on the field rams, thirty three and the cardinals the final, and the penny is also going with your lambs. Alright, so the penny on the right side of history. There's been a lot

of agreement here, which is fine. That's good. Only a few games so far that are separate and there's only a couple of games left for us to handicap on this edition of Benny versus the Penny, man versus coin, as we throw it up and throw it down. If you're you're just tuning in wondering what this is. I don't know how you could just tune in because the podcast you have to fast forward. So the way this works,

Danny is the keeper of the coin. He flips it up and the home team is what, Danny, you remember what the home team is? You've been flipping the penny here. The home team is heads, yeah, and the visiting team is tales. That is correct, and so you sit on your butt when you go on the road. So the visiting team is tales, and that's how we've done it. That's how we've always done it, that's what we how we will always do it, and that is how this

is going to go. All right. Next up, we had the Sunday night football on and be cee Mike Tariko and Chris Collinsworth have the call on this game. The forty niners. Big Line change here. Broncos open a three point favorite. They're not favorite by one and a half. The forty niners are favorite by one and a half and the public loves the forty niners. They they can't get enough. Almost of the handle in favor of the team from the bay area. Some of the trends in

this game. Russell Wilson, very good in his career in night games. Twenty two and fourteen against the spread back in his Seattle days, and Jimmy Garoppolo, whose statistics leave a lot to be desired, much to be desired. A Nineteen and eight, the forty niners record on the road with Garoppolo as the starting quarterback. That is gonna get or done. They just find a way to win. But

there's another side here. Russell Wilson, the forty niners on the road against Russell Wilson back in his Seattle days. Just two and eight in those games, different scenario, different city. All that. The pick is in. I'm gonna take the Broncos here. Now, technically the forty niners have the top past defense in the NFL, but it is a misleading situation. They've played justin fields and Geno Smith this game, all right, this game looks too easy and we anticipate the broncos

closing the gap. They've made a lot of mistakes. They've been a poorly coach team here, but they have won the statute. They've been able to win the yardage game and all that, and they've they've had some bad breaks go against them, some of themselves created. But I believe the Broncos will taste victory for the second consecutive week. And their weird quarterback, who do you see the video this week where Russ was on the sidelines and he was like a pop warner coach encouraging the team to

yell out for the defense. What? What? What play runner? Pass? Oh my God. Anyway, Broncos, Forty niners twenty four. The final. Ah, the penny, you must love Jimmy g going with the niners. Alright, the niners the pick for the penny in the last game. Last call for gambling on the NFL. We head to Monday night football and it's in Jersey. Couple of NFC

east rivals. If you're around my age, this was a matchup that was like a really big deal when you were a kid and it hasn't been a really big deal in a long time, but it still gets national TV players on ESPN. Dallas one and one, the giants off to the two and oh start Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. They took that live golf money and they are over at ESPN rolling in the money, rolling in the money. The giants opened up a four and a

half point favorite the spread on this game. The giants are favored by one and a half, one and a half points here in this game. Now some of the trends. Mike McCarthy. Say What you want about the road ton coach there, but Mike McCarthy has been rock solid. If you bet on the cowboys on the road with Mike McCarthy's coach, Dallas Eight and two against the spread, and so that has been great. They've also done very well over the last twenty five games against the NFC east.

The Division has been terrible, uh, and so Dallas has put up an eighteen and seven record against the spread. So there there is that. And also the giants on the other hand, even though they're two and oh. This season they have been pretty bad in the month of September. Of course they've been bad in the month of October, the month of November. You can go down list. The Daniel Jones quagmire returned. He did not play well, even

though the giants beat Carol. So I'm gonna take the cowboys in this game, taking Dallas Cooper rush with the rudimentary offense versus the stumble Bum Daniel Jones and the cowboys. A couple of key defensive plays. I'll get a couple of mistakes from Daniel Jones. On what will be a cool, rainy night at metlife stadium, temperatures in the sixties, light rain. I'm taking the cowboys three and the giants twenty the

final and the penny is going with the giants. Okay, so we disagree on that game and that is all he said or all she wrote, or however you want to do it. Please say the Penny is day. Oh they yeah, you asked the penny what the Penny's pronouns are, with their preferred PRONU and maybe they can be fluid and bounce back and forth. The Penny. I don't know. Anyway. All right, that's it. Good kick your ass this week. Yes, good luck here. The Penny is going down. I will

put the Penny on train tracks. The train will come down run over the penny. Have you ever seen what happens to a penny when the train goes by? It Ain't pretty. Uh. And so I will end up back in the money, back eat the body wrong. Good luck, though, don't don't go crazy, don't bet too much, but make sure whatever you do bet turns out to be a winner, and we will talk to you next time on the Saturday podcast. Back at that, the life of mall or

the life of Danny g will catch you then later. Skaters, up with it.
