00:02 >> Cowboys and Seahawks tonight in Dallas.
00:05 As of this moment, Gabe, we have minus nine for the star and 47 and a half.
00:11 We know the deal, Gabe, right?
00:13 All the prime time games go under.
00:15 All the favorites have been going in the window, especially in the past week.
00:19 Will that be the same tonight?
00:21 >> Well, I'll tell you what, one thing that stands out to me about this football
00:24 game that I don't think people realize.
00:26 There's five teams in the National Football League that have not
00:30 beaten a team with a winning record this year.
00:32 >> Yeah.
00:33 >> The Patriots, the Titans, the Bears.
00:39 It's a dregs of society world.
00:42 The Dallas Cowboys, guys.
00:44 >> Yeah. >> The Dallas Cowboys do not have a single
00:46 win this year against a team with a winning record.
00:50 They were also the first team in NFL history
00:52 to win their first five home games by 20 or more points.
00:56 They have won every home game by 20 or more points.
00:58 The level of opposition is 19 and 38 that they played.
01:02 It's been one patsy after another.
01:04 Seattle aren't a patsy, but they're obviously not a powerhouse.
01:08 But what they are, Carver, is a winning football team.
01:11 They are six and five.
01:13 I know the Cowboys have been routing teams at home all year.
01:16 This is short week.
01:17 We don't see a lot of blowouts on Thursday nights to begin with.
01:19 You talked about these games playing to the under as well,
01:23 which I actually think I'm not getting in front of that, Carver.
01:26 Like, I'm not gonna get in front of this over thing.
01:28 I've gotten cued a few times in,
01:30 "Oh, I'm jumping on the over this primetime game, bro,"
01:32 and it backfires.
01:35 You know Seattle do not want to get into a track meet.
01:38 You know, and Seattle guys,
01:39 they haven't scored a touchdown in 20 consecutive drives.
01:42 They've scored three touchdowns
01:43 in their last four football games.
01:45 There's a lot of ugly offensive numbers,
01:47 but with all that being stated, I sort of keep coming back.
01:51 I just said I want to bet the over, Carver,
01:52 but I sort of keep coming back to the same type of result.
01:55 I really do think Dallas win by about 10 points,
01:59 seven to 10 points.
02:00 It's sort of, you know, 27-20,
02:03 you know, if it got higher scoring, 30 to 20.
02:05 So what I'll do, I'm gonna take the Seahawks plus the nine,
02:08 nine and a half and hope for the best,
02:09 and I'm gonna tease the game to the over.
02:11 So I'll have the Seahawks plus 16 and over 40, Carver.
02:15 - Yeah, I just keep looking at it
02:17 as it's not a traditional Thursday game.
02:19 It isn't a short week.
02:20 Both teams played last Thursday.
02:21 So it is like a normal week for these teams.
02:25 So I don't think we're gonna get the sloppy
02:28 three days of rest Thursday night game
02:31 that we usually get.
02:32 And all I need, I feel like,
02:34 is 17 to 20 points from the Seahawks,
02:36 and we can get over this 47 and a half.
02:38 I just think that that's like the number right there.
02:40 We can just get past them.
02:42 I'm going for it, Gabe.
02:43 I'm a sucker.
02:44 I'm going for it.
02:45 I don't care.
02:46 I'm tired of it.
02:46 You know what it also is?
02:48 I'm so annoyed still that we had to watch
02:50 that dopey Monday night game between the Bears
02:52 and the Vikings, 12-10,
02:54 and I wanted to smash my head against the wall.
02:55 So you know what?
02:56 I want points tonight.
02:57 Can you give me a 38-28 game here tonight?
02:59 Like, come on, give me something like that, Gabe.
