New Orleans Saints to Overpower Worst Coached NFL Division?
Transcript

00:02 Let's focus on a division that I don't think any team deserves to make the playoffs,
00:06 but somebody will.
00:07 It happens every year, Warren.
00:08 There's one division that some teams under 500 or 500 in this new age of the NFL.
00:13 Over on BetMGM, the Saints are the favorite, I guess.
00:17 They're minus 135 to get in.
00:19 The Falcons, to me, probably the most talented team of all these teams, but
00:23 I mean, the coaching's been, I'm sorry to say, it's just been brutal,
00:27 especially offensively.
00:29 Tampa Bay is kind of hanging around.
00:31 Carolina, obviously, just playing for the number one pick that they don't have,
00:35 at one and nine at this point.
00:37 So I guess any of these three teams could win it.
00:41 I mean, six losses right now, Warren, if you just run the table.
00:45 It's a great season for any of these teams, but they just beat up on each other, and
00:49 they lose these close games, and there's sort of no rhyme or reason for it.
00:53 None of them have had, I would say, great quarterback play to play this season.
00:56 Should the Saints be the favorite on BetMGM to win?
00:59 Do you think so?
01:00 >> Well, it's a big game this week.
01:03 They play the Falcons, the game's in Atlanta.
01:05 I think the Saints are catching one point right now.
01:08 It's close to being a pick 'em.
01:10 This is the worst coached division in football.
01:12 Top to bottom, this is the worst coached division in football.
01:15 I'm not quite sure.
01:16 I went back and rewatched that Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons game,
01:20 trying to wrap my mind around why we keep running the ball on first and
01:23 second down ad nauseum, and
01:24 then asking Taylor Heineke to throw it on third down.
01:27 I don't understand what a lot of these teams and their coaches and
01:30 their strategies are on the offensive side of the football.
01:34 There's limitations with the quarterbacks in this division for sure.
01:37 I liked what the Saints were doing a little bit in terms of the tweak down
01:40 inside of the red zone.
01:41 They were running Taysom Hill, running Alvin Kamara a little bit more,
01:44 not asking Derek Carr to throw the ball quite as much down there.
01:47 Now we don't even know, is Derek Carr playing this week?
01:49 Because he got the concussion in the shoulder on that hit last week.
01:52 Is it gonna be Jameis?
01:53 Is it gonna be Derek Carr?
01:54 We still don't know because the Saints were on a bye week.
01:57 This division is a disaster as you kind of alluded to.
02:01 Should the Saints be favored?
02:04 Are they the best team?
02:05 Probably they are.
02:06 Do they have the easiest schedule?
02:07 Probably they do.
02:08 Would I wanna bet that they're actually going to win this game and
02:11 lock up my money for the rest of the year until early January?
02:14 Absolutely not.
02:15 Absolutely not.
02:15 Well, much better spent in other avenues.
