00:03 - Now that Trevor Lawrence is optimistic to play,
00:06 the number is only one and a half.
00:08 And Donnie, you said it's trending toward a pick 'em.
00:12 It really is.
00:13 Minus 112, the price on the money line for the Saints,
00:17 minus 104 on the other side for the Jags.
00:21 That's an eight cent difference.
00:23 You are virtually picking the outright winner
00:26 of tonight's game.
00:27 Donnie, you said let's wait a little bit, right?
00:29 Into the afternoon, three, four, five p.m. Eastern time.
00:32 We will probably get that official designation
00:35 if Trevor Lawrence is going to play.
00:37 If he is ruled in and he is out there tonight
00:40 in the big easy, what do you think the closing number
00:44 is going to be, DRS?
00:45 - I think that's the closing number
00:47 if Trevor Lawrence does play.
00:48 Because the odds makers are believing
00:50 that he's going to play.
00:51 So I don't even think you're gonna get that much movement.
00:52 And if you do, it's not gonna swing
00:54 into the momentum here with the Jaguars.
00:56 Would actually be a favorite in this football game.
00:58 But if you're talking about maybe Trevor Lawrence
01:00 not playing, you might see this line go to three,
01:02 three and a half or four in the opposite direction
01:04 is now a favorite for the Saints and rightfully so.
01:07 Down to starting quarterback, you move to your backup.
01:09 Obviously you're not gonna be that efficient here
01:10 coming into it.
01:12 But it's one of those things where even at FanDuel
01:13 you can bet in-game live here, which is fantastic
01:16 because you'll know within the first couple plays,
01:18 hey look, Lawrence looks like he's healthy and ready to go.
01:20 And also keep in mind, you talked about that money line
01:23 here that is so close.
01:24 Minus 104 to the Jaguars, minus 112 to the Saints.
01:27 They have a really good bet here
01:28 at the FanDuel Sportsbook tonight, a 50% profit boost.
01:31 So let's just say, you know what?
01:32 I think Jacksonville wins outright tonight.
01:34 You can push that to a plus 145 number on their side.
01:37 And also if you like the Saints,
01:39 you completely wipe out that 112
01:40 and give yourself about a plus 130 price
01:42 on the opposite side.
01:44 So a lot of good things to monitor here,
01:45 but you're right.
01:46 That line is going to move if Lawrence is out.
01:48 I'm not so sure how much it moves
01:50 once we get confirmation that he is in though, Ben.
