00:00We're going to get a new look team apparently tonight with the New York Jets.
00:10Now, I will say this, historically speaking, there are a lot of things working in the Jets'
00:14favor tonight.
00:15Number one, they're a home dog on Monday Night Football, which we know is amazing.
00:18And the second part of this is that, Vinny, as long as I can remember, betting on sports
00:23and the history of sports, when a team fires the coach, the players show up that week.
00:28It may be a Band-Aid, and it may be temporary.
00:30We saw the same thing last year when Pierce got hired by the Raiders, and we've seen it
00:33throughout the years.
00:35Coach gets fired, new guy comes in, players are like, see, that's the reason why we didn't
00:39play well.
00:40It wasn't us.
00:41I don't know.
00:42I expect the same thing to happen tonight, Vinny.
00:44I just can't go against the historic trend here.
00:47But the bill's now down to one and a half point favorites.
00:50They opened up as almost three point favorites.
00:52Some spot this is even one.
00:53It could be a pick-em by the time the game goes off tonight.
00:57Yeah, it's not only just the change from Robert Sala and Jeff Ulbrich, but also changing the
01:02play caller for Aaron Rodgers, which is significant here because Todd Downing has a history of
01:07wanting to use the running backs more, going back to Derrick Henry and the Titans, which
01:12is aligning with what you need to do against the Bills.
01:15You've got to run.
01:16They've been at 75 to 80 percent passing, which should not be happening with Brees Hall
01:22and Braylon Allen in the backfield.
01:24I would think there's an overcorrection there with their scheme.
01:28The Bills not only struggle to stop the run, they also struggle in coverage against running
01:33backs.
01:34I would expect them to feed the running backs a lot this week, really take pressure off
01:38Aaron Rodgers from throwing deep because that's what the matchup dictates.
01:41That's what the philosophy of the new coordinator says.
01:44It all aligns beyond the inspiration of playing under a new head coach.
