00:03 - Let me give you the details here, Joe.
00:05 So the Browns are now minus one at home against the Steelers.
00:09 The total's at a flat 33.
00:11 Now it was as low as 32 and a half yesterday
00:15 or right after the news came out
00:16 that Watson was gonna be finished.
00:18 I don't know, like I probably don't want anything
00:22 to do with the total, Joe,
00:23 because it does seem like 13-10 is kind of where it is,
00:29 but it's hard for me in the NFL to bet under.
00:31 In college, I don't mind doing it.
00:33 These Iowa games at 31 and a half, 30 and a half,
00:36 I don't mind, but in the NFL, 33,
00:40 that's a tough number for me to swallow
00:41 to try to go after an under.
00:43 But on the other side, I'm on the Steelers
00:46 and I get it, Tomlin's record ATS,
00:49 in the division as an underdog, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:53 I'm just going straight out.
00:54 I don't think that this guy DTR is gonna be able
00:56 to get things going against the Steelers defense, Joe.
01:00 - I just think it's fascinating that Stefanski and company
01:03 opted for him when you still have PJ Walker,
01:07 who's got obviously more experience.
01:09 And we also witnessed already DTR in a game
01:13 against the Ravens, did not work out all that way.
01:16 So unless we're missing something,
01:19 I have the feeling that they're not planning
01:22 on asking DTR to do anything anyway.
01:26 I believe that that defense believes
01:28 they can keep this game low scoring enough
01:30 where the offense, if they can establish
01:33 any sort of running, they'll have a chance to win this game.
01:37 And that's basically, to me,
01:39 I think it's gonna come down to a final possession anyway,
01:41 and who kicks the 58 yard field goal
01:45 to end up winning this game.
01:47 I'm with you.
01:48 I want nothing to do with the total
01:49 because if this total is still too high,
01:52 this is going to be absolutely brutal this weekend,
01:56 watching that game.
