00:00The NFL, the championship is what everybody's goal is, not the cup champ. They don't have a cup
00:04championship in the NFL. They're not going to do a three-game round robin who's going to win the NFL
00:08cup. We're doing serious things here and you know who's really serious? The Buffalo Bills,
00:12now the favorite at the FanDuel Sportsbook to win the Super Bowl at a plus 450 price,
00:17followed closely by the Philadelphia Eagles and rounding out the final teams at five to one or
00:22less. It's the Kansas City Chiefs and it's the Detroit Lions. Let's start once again with the
00:26Buffalo Bills, Dubsy, the leaders in the clubhouse right now for the odds market to win the Super
00:31Bowl. Do you agree that's the correct move? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, and they show they have
00:37got the measure for the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season. I think they will have it
00:41in the playoffs there as well if they can run it alongside them. Look, Josh Allen, he's having a
00:45career best season, MVP. I think he solidified that last week in going against the Detroit
00:51Lions. They're obviously going to have to lock down on the defensive side but they've got all
00:56the weapons and you know, I thought they may have lost a step with that offense. No, Stephon
01:00Diggs coming into this year but they are looking dynamic. They can get it done with the passing
01:04game. Josh Allen can just hit that go button at any point in the game, Donny. He legit looks like
01:10he's a grown man playing against a couple of high schoolers out there on a Friday night.
01:15There is levels to this thing and he has looked far superior out there on the field at times.
01:20So I absolutely think the Bills are the top team in the conference and I think they will be a very
01:25tough out going through the playoffs. I think they've learned a lot over the last couple of
01:29years and I think they're ready to take that next step. Now, if we take a look too because
01:33you're looking at not the standings itself but actually the way the teams play football
01:38offensively and defensively. If we look at the defensive side of things and you look at the top
01:42four that's listed at the FanDuel Sportsbook in the odds market, the Buffalo Bills are 27th
01:46overall in defense according to Pro Football Focus. The Eagles number one, the Kansas City
01:51Chiefs number six and the Detroit Lions are actually listed at fourth at this point but
01:55that number is drastically going to change with how many injuries that they have. So if we're
02:00looking at the Bills, Josh Allen is absolutely sensational. That offense is motoring along.
02:05But could the downfall be the Buffalo Bills at a plus 450 price their defense which again is outside
02:11of the top 25? It really is, Donny. I mean you've given up 42 points to Detroit last weekend in
02:20their building and you know rightfully so. The Lions right up there is one of the best teams in
02:24the NFL. You gave up 44 to the Rams the week prior. You've got to get out of these track meets
02:31otherwise it's a very tough spot in trying to win and especially going into the playoffs.
02:35Now, I think the tough thing for the Bills is the measuring stick is not going to be an accurate one
02:40going through the next three weeks to close out the regular season. You've got the Patriots, Jets
02:45and then the Patriots again on deck who really aren't going to put up a lot of points. So they
02:50may be you know snuck into the effect thinking well the defensive side has really taken a forward
02:55step. We've contained these next three games and kept each you know each opposition under 20 points.
03:01I think the real measuring stick is not going to come until they hit the playoffs now. So a little
03:05concerning and you cannot be giving up that many points. I don't care how good Josh Allen plays.
03:10That is not going to win you playoff football. So I think they've certainly got to address that.
03:14They've got a really good chance of trying to get things in order moving over the next few weeks
03:19here. But the offense absolutely A+. You cannot be giving up you know 40 points back-to-back weeks
03:25and I don't think they will against the Pats but that could be their weakness going into the playoffs.
03:31Which is still interesting too because you look at the Bills at the plus 450 price. Kansas City at a
03:35five to one price. Kansas City at the season end today. Everything goes through Arrowhead Stadium
03:39which is a major advantage and I know some of that price point did change with Patrick Mahomes
03:44and this injury. But if he does play this weekend with no ill effects we might see that Kansas City
03:48with a victory over Houston would jump back up to that top seed here. But as we're looking all the
03:53way through for me Dubs if I look at the top seven teams in the standings right now I legitimately
03:59think there could be a Super Bowl run in each one of those teams. That's the Bills, Eagles, Chiefs,
04:03Lions, Ravens, Vikings and Packers. That's my cutoff line and particularly on the Fandu Sportsbook
04:09that goes down to 13 to 1. The next team in line closest or next two teams is the Houston Texans
04:15and the Pittsburgh Steelers at 30 to 1 respectively. So if we're looking at 13 to 1 or less Dubs which
04:21again Bills, Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Ravens, Vikings and Packers. Which team are you looking possibly
04:26to make a deep run and who could get your money in the overall odds race? Yeah look I've been big on
04:32the Rams as a bit of a price play. They're playing better football. Can they actually make a full
04:38tilt towards the Super Bowl? I'd probably say no. I don't think they've got the depth. I think the
04:43Green Bay Packers are built for the big stage and they've been playing some really good football.
04:47That was that was a bit of a surprise. A bit of a shock from what we saw last week. Rolling Seattle
04:52in their building putting up a 30-piece. They almost got it done against Detroit in Detroit and
04:58look very strong against three you know strong opponents prior to that as well. So Jordan Love
05:03he's playing better and better. He's looking every bit of the superstar that we saw last season. Now
05:08that he's coming back with full health and Josh Jacobs setting the tone with that run game
05:13out of the backfield. And again you look at their offense it's dynamic. They can spread the field.
05:18They can get it done with the run game. So I think the Packers and looking at their close out for the
05:23year here. They've got a really good run into the playoffs. So I think it'd be Green Bay
05:28as the price for me and it's very clear you know that the top couple of teams in the NFL. I think
05:33it's the Bills. I think it's the Detroit Lions. But outside of that the great thing about you know
05:38the NFL in the playoffs is it's just one game. You've just got to roll them for one game whether
05:43it be in their building or not. It's not a best of three and I think the Packers have got that
05:46knockout punch. Yeah by the way nobody's ever won three Super Bowls in a row and the Kansas City
05:52Chiefs are going to try to do that. And if they are home for the holidays as I like to say which
05:56means the number one overall seed and the bye weekend as long as they win games will continue
06:00to be an arrowhead. That's going to be a tough team certainly to try to unseat. But if we are
06:05folding and peeling back the layers there still is that one team because you brought up a great
06:10point here Dubs and I'd love to stress that we don't play a three game set a five game set or
06:14a seven game set where you know the better football team barring non-disastrous injuries
06:18is going to win that series. Like you see teams like the Baltimore Ravens at eight to one you go
06:23boy they lost a few games this year. Are they still that same team. Nobody wants to see the
06:27Ravens in a one game playoff with Lamar Jackson. Some might say yes you do because Lamar doesn't
06:32win those big games but just on a day-to-day basis any given Sunday the Ravens can make that run and
06:36then we take a look at the Minnesota Vikings who get no respect and by the way Dubsy we'll take a
06:41deeper look at them in just a few moments but if they win out they're the number one overall seed
06:46in the NFC. So so many factors are going to change over the final three weeks but I look at teams
06:51like the Ravens lying in the weeds right now going like okay keep that disrespect coming here.
06:56Yeah and they're going to be playing with a chip on the shoulder you know we've seen enough through
07:00the regular season but for Lamar Jackson he's savvy enough to uh to know what the press say
07:05about him and he will be tested in the playoffs and suddenly you know that one-two punch out of
07:11the backfield what he can do with uh with the wheels I think he learned that lesson by not
07:15running the football and that was uh you know ultimately what led to their exit last season.
07:20They'll take that they'll learn from it and with that offense who can get it done with that run
07:25game also Lamar when he needs to get a downfield can absolutely do that they could be the team to
07:31watch and getting set for a bit of a run. If you look at the teams that you wouldn't want to play
07:35against in a playoff spot that would be a very scary opposition not just Lamar Jackson but King
07:41Henry and I tell you what Mark Andrews he's looking better and better as well so spot on
07:45there Donnie. I think value is life I think there's a lot more parity than what we've seen over the
07:49last couple of years. Let's focus on the race to the top in the NFC and the AFC because to me
07:56the Philadelphia Eagles just might be the most well-rounded team in the NFL on offense and
08:01defense we'll see how that plays out and also can the Philadelphia Eagles grab that one seed let's
08:05look at some schedules with three games to go right here on the early line we'll be right back.
08:11Ah Dubsy the race to the top of the NFC and the AFC down the stretch they come three games left
08:17in the regular season let's put our focus here on the NFC and with the odds to win the conference
08:22at the FanDuel Sportsbook who's in the lead it's the Philadelphia Eagles at a plus 220 price
08:26followed by the Lions Packers Vikings Buccaneers and the Rams but if we are focusing on right now
08:31if the season ended today the number one seed would go to the Detroit Lions their finishing
08:37schedule at the Chicago Bears which you might say should be an easy victory but this is now
08:41bagged up Lions team that's used to playing in a dome all season long going into the windy city
08:46to try to take on a division rival followed by at San Francisco quite frankly is banged up but
08:51still in it in the NFC West to win it and get a possible playoff spot and then that titanic battle
08:57against the Minnesota Vikings let's quickly start here with the Lions to me the best team in the
09:02NFL but I got to be honest right now Dubsy they're not the best team in the NFL they're the most
09:07injured team in the NFL most most injured team in the NFL Big Hotch telling us that he's going to
09:13be back ready to go if they make the Super Bowl please my guy take it easy but getting set to
09:20square off against the Bears who look Caleb Williams I'm not the the biggest fan of but I can
09:25just feel there's a breakout game coming from the Bears and you're going into their building that's
09:29going to be in tough a tough environment to play in for the 49ers they're still right there in the
09:34division I can't figure out how but I guess you know a couple other teams have made that possible
09:39for them and they're going to have that motivation in Santa Clara and the Vikings who are playing
09:43some really good football at this time of year as well so look Detroit are playing with a lot of
09:48momentum they didn't get the win last week but I don't really think that's going to be enough to
09:53deter them but it's injuries it's the pressure and it's the decisions being made by Dan Campbell
09:59at clutch times you know it's similar to what we highlighted prior to the break you you can score
10:04plenty of points we've seen that from Josh Allen the bills we've seen it from the Lions but that's
10:08not how the playoffs is going to go Donnie it's it's not going to be a 44 to 42 kind of
10:13track meet affair it's going to be a low scorer where the defense has to get it done and you've
10:17got to make the right decisions at the right times everyone is going to be primed up to their best and
10:24I guess that would be the concern for me injuries and making those critical decisions going against
10:28a lot tougher teams and they're going to get a really tough test trying to close out the regular
10:33season now they are and if you are looking at that three game slate with the way they're banged up
10:38there is expected to be a loss in there just depends on who that loss is actually going to
10:42come to at this point you saw them get hammered by the Buffalo Bills which a lot of teams would
10:46get beat by them but the question now turns up is next man up is always a fun topic to say dubsy
10:51until it's next man up after the next man and the next man up after that guy who just got injured
10:56that's what you're getting with the Detroit defense you flip it over to the Philadelphia
10:59Eagles who also have an identical record to the Detroit Lions at 12 and 2 you see them at
11:04Washington then home to Dallas and home to the New York Giants this would be a tough game for
11:08the Eagles on the road they were very impressive against the Steelers but that was a physical
11:12football game now you see Washington at home in a must-win situation for them if the Eagles win
11:17they'll close out Washington and win the division so looking at the Philadelphia Eagles as the
11:21favorites currently right now to win the NFC those three games left on the schedule that looks like
11:26they can navigate a 15 and 2 record which is crazy good yeah and look Donnie we we said going
11:33into last week that was going to be the testing spot for them going against the uh the informed
11:39Pittsburgh Steelers but they showed up ready to play and it looks like all has been squashed with
11:44AJ Brown and star quarterback Jalen Hurts there for the Philadelphia Eagles the quick way to resolve
11:49a bit of tension get him the rock get him into the end zone and we saw that over the weekend
11:54there so for the Eagles who have suddenly looked like to have found that passing game at the right
11:59time of the year their defense hasn't missed a beat they're keeping teams to uh to some low totals
12:04and I do think they could pick up the next three wins and look that the odds makers they're telling
12:09us that uh it's all about the Eagles but I still feel like the public Donnie aren't buying in they're
12:14saying we've got to see a little more they've poked holes through the schedule they've put
12:18you know uh question marks through Jalen Hurts's play at quarterback this is a team that's
12:23resilient they've got a lot of moxie a lot of character Sirianni is coaching with his heart on
12:28his sleeve and I think they're making a run at the right time of the year and they may be able
12:32to try and close out this uh this regular season with plenty of momentum and really take that
12:38thrill into the post so I love what I've been seeing from the Eagles of late yeah it's been
12:43really good it's been a great season one that really looked like it was going to go off the
12:46rails early after that Tampa Bay loss on Monday Night Football where they saw themselves at 2-2
12:51heading into the bye haven't lost a single game since in a franchise record double digit win
12:56streak which never happened in Philadelphia but we do talk about the Minnesota Vikings or should I
13:01say we don't talk about the Minnesota Vikings enough they also sit 12 and 2 along with the
13:06Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles now the difference here is yes we expect Detroit to get a fight at
13:11Chicago at San Francisco and from Minnesota the Eagles a lot easier schedule with the Vikings
13:17at Seattle it looks like Gino Smith is probably going to be back for that game an ultra important
13:21game for the Seattle Seahawks as well then you take on the Green Bay Packers where every pit is
13:26good as just about any team in the NFC and then you finish at the Detroit Lions to end the season
13:31so it's one team that we don't talk about all that much that if they win out Dubsy they're
13:36the number one overall seed but the question is can they win out with that tough schedule
13:42no I think they'll be likely to get one win from the next three to close out the year and
13:49not to take anything away from the Vikings they've had a really good season they're playing
13:52some really good football I think they would be a tough out in the playoffs but this is a very
13:57tough stretch up there in Seattle going against the Packers so I'm obviously very bullish on I
14:02think they're looking better and better and then trying to close it out against Detroit over there
14:06at Ford Field it's it's one of the toughest schedules remaining so look for the Vikings I
14:11think maybe one win from the next three they're going to find themselves you know make it away
14:16into the playoffs but maybe not with the momentum that we could see from you know the likes of the
14:22Eagles trying to rattle in there to the postseason it'll be incredible too because for most of the
14:27season in the NFC you were really trying to say at least myself that the Detroit Lions were probably
14:32the cream of the crop if they're home for the playoffs they're only going to be tough to beat
14:35all those defensive injuries David Montgomery maybe the heart of that offense they're down
14:39Jameer Gibbs is a great running back but now he's going to have to take all of those carries not
14:43really get any breathers but it was then the Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles I'm interested to see
14:48now the Minnesota Vikings again controlling their own destiny how they handle that situation and
14:53navigating those final three games because yes you can't win all three of those games at once
14:58you have a tough road game in Seattle against the 12s they'll be amped up for that game then you
15:02come home against certainly a Green Bay team that's every bit as talented as the Minnesota
15:07Vikings probably the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions then you finish the season on the
15:11road against Detroit where you know Detroit is going to need that as well and also talking about
15:15those seed lines you lose that division you drop down to the five line as opposed to the one line
15:20here so many ramifications here that still have to be discovered in the end of these final three
15:25games but now we shift our focus over to the AFC picture we'll talk about that next right here on
15:31the early line the race for the AFC is top seed and again three games left as well if we're looking
15:38right now on the odds market at the fan blue sports book for the AFC to claim that spot and win
15:43the AFC championship the Buffalo Bills at a plus 200 price to win the AFC Kansas City plus 240 the
15:49Ravens at plus 390 then we have that little shelf there before we get to 11 and one the Houston
15:54Texans but let's put our focus here on the Kansas City Chiefs if the season ended today they would
15:58be the number one overall seed 13 and one record and if we're looking at their final three games
16:04tough as they get to dubsy you look at those games are going to play Houston at home then at
16:09Pittsburgh and at Denver Houston yes they won their division they probably can't move up all that far
16:15in the seating at this point but there's still three games left to play you're getting their
16:19best punch then you see the following week here at the Pittsburgh Steelers they're fighting for
16:24their lives you're in their division you'll get their best punch and the final game of the season
16:28the anticipation of the Denver Broncos still needed to win that game to stay in the playoff race
16:33you're going to get their best punch and also Patrick Mahomes with that high ankle sprain that
16:38doesn't heal itself over all overnight and even if he does play a chance to re-injure no doubt about
16:44it the Kansas City Chiefs for you dubsy what are we thinking look they're they're the reigning
16:50champs two-time champs they're going to make it three in a row and you know that there's certain
16:54metrics and stats that we just really can't you know put a measure on but they do have the
16:59intangibles and for Patty Mahomes playing banged up I guess what separates Patrick Mahomes not just
17:04you know that elite quarterback play that we see week in week out is that he's such a smart
17:08footballer if he were to be a go-go against the Texans this weekend I think he's really savvy and
17:14protecting his body and he certainly will try and keep himself out of harm's way but I think it's a
17:19really tough matchup whether he's going to play or not for the Chiefs going against the Texans who
17:24are looking better and better you highlighted going into Pittsburgh the week after this one
17:29that gets a little tougher in the Broncos with everything on the line to close out the regular
17:34season this is a tough spot so I think if you're looking to buy in on the Kansas City Chiefs and
17:40trying to pick up another Lombardi I'd maybe wait a couple of weeks Donnie I think they're going to
17:44drop at least one of the next two here and you're going to get a bit of a buy low spot and this
17:50this is a team that's they don't need to figure it out they know exactly what they bring to the table
17:55and they haven't been chasing you know stuff in the stat sheet they just do enough to get that
18:00result I think they've only had one one win for more than a 10 point margin so it's been a matter
18:06of winning the arm wrestle winning the rock fight and that's what's going to win playoff football
18:11you know game so look the Kansas City Chiefs a really tough ending here for the regular season
18:16I think they're going to drop one maybe even two of the next three Patty Mahomes playing
18:21a little banged up I'd give him a chance Donnie I'd tell him take it easy we really don't need you
18:26in the mix for this one but we need you back at full health going against the Steelers and
18:30trying to pick up a bit of momentum so they're still the team for me they're still right in the
18:34mix but a couple of question marks at the pointy end of the season what about for you Donnie have
18:40you seen enough do you have confidence and that they're still going to be the team to beat I'd see
18:45I do think they're the team to beat because I do think they're going to get that number one seat
18:49as you see those odds at minus 200 for them to achieve that and that number has actually gotten
18:52higher since yesterday when we weren't really sure Patrick Mahomes was going to play this weekend
18:56a full practice in it looks like he's all trending to start and also they do have room for error
19:02dubs right they can slip up and lose a football game and still it doesn't matter what any other
19:06team did now they slip up and lose two football games now you lose the tiebreaker to the Buffalo
19:10Bills so if we start with the Buffalo Bills and again I do think Kansas City will wind up being
19:14that number one seed but the Buffalo Bills versus New England versus the New York Jets versus New
19:20England that should be a 3-0 right here so the pressure is going to come on Kansas City as we
19:24talked about Houston's going to be a tough game and the final two games should certainly be tough
19:28games and then we throw in the Pittsburgh Steelers into that equation where they sit at 10 and 4
19:32getting beat by the Eagles but they got a monster game on deck against the Baltimore Ravens try to
19:37fight them off to win the division and then they take on Kansas City in the end year against
19:41Cincinnati who might a long shot still have something to play for and get Cincinnati's
19:46best punch so a lot of things up in the air but I do think that minus 200 price point is correct
19:52let's just say Mahomes hobbles around this weekend and somehow still pulls out a victory
19:56well then they just have to win one game out of Pittsburgh and Denver and could that opportunity
20:00in the last game of the year against Denver on the road where Denver might have already clinched
20:04that playoff spot in a good scenario for the Kansas City Chiefs that's the way I look at it
20:08here but for me the most dangerous team out of that three is still going to be the Buffalo Bills
20:14because they got Josh Allen dubsy and Josh Allen career best he's uh he's doing everything in his
20:20power it's certainly going to be a big advantage if this one goes through arrowhead it's going to
20:25be a tough bout so maybe just one more win that's going to be enough for them the difference maker
20:29but if you're looking at it and saying who is the best team you know any given Sunday it's been the
20:34Buffalo Bill so watch out for Josh Allen he knows the numbers he knows the stats they know what they
20:39say in the postseason going against the Chiefs it's time for him to step up yep yeah that's good
20:44stuff it's good talking points and we're going to continue those in the NFC let's look at maybe some
20:49of the matchups as well that could be taking place right here on the early line the NFC playoff
20:54picture coming into focus right on the early line dubs Anderson and Donnie right side breaking it
20:58down for you because we only have three games left in the regular season to try to determine
21:03who's going to get these seeds now if the season ended today the division leaders the Lions Eagles
21:08Buccaneers and the Rams one through four the wild card standings number five would be the Vikings
21:13number six the Packers seven the commanders close on that cutoff line is the Seahawks and the reason
21:18we list the Falcons at seven and seven there's only one game back of the eight and six Buccaneers
21:24but let's have some fun with this too let's just say this was the way it ended up you remove the
21:28lines from the picture in round number one because they would have the only buy they need it get
21:32rested and ready for round number two but that would line the Philadelphia Eagles dubsy up with
21:37the commanders in round number one the Buccaneers with the Packers and then the Rams at the Vikings
21:42so if you are looking at saying who won our division which means the Buccaneers and the Rams
21:47you get the Vikings and the Packers right out of the gate my goodness it's uh it'd be quite
21:55the opening round of the playoffs there Donnie and you know trying to take an early lean it's
21:59it's nearly impossible once uh you know you get through Detroit there I mean the Eagles against
22:04the commanders you know love the look of Philly there but the Bucs going in uh taking on the
22:10Packers sorry over there Tevin that'd be a tough matchup and the Rams against the Vikings I've still
22:15got you know question marks on who'd be the better team out of those two squaring off so
22:19it's it's right in the balance right now you know outside of the top team top two I do feel like
22:25there's a lot of parity and as we highlighted earlier in the show with the great thing about
22:29you know it being a one and done in the playoffs there you've only got to work your way past it
22:33and pull a one offset to get through to the next round is anyone can show up and get it done I
22:38really feel like it's wide open this this season I really don't think there's much of a difference
22:43between the top of the board the top seed and whoever comes in for seventh place so if you're
22:48big on a value long shot play I think the board is absolutely live for some of the wild card
22:53contenders you also look at it too like I guess the Buccaneers would be favored but I don't even
23:00know like you're looking at that matchup here Buccaneers and the Rams you know as those three
23:04four seeds at home but the Vikings would they be favored and will the Packers be favored that's
23:09what makes it so tough because that NFC North is so good that it's like yes you're gonna win
23:13the division for the other seeds but you gotta line them up here that's how imperative is if
23:17you're the lines you get that number one seed just to avoid this mess and also to fill it up
23:21the Eagles sitting in that two seed who it's no slouch if it winds up let's just say being
23:25the commanders in that seventh seed but my goodness you don't want to line up in game one
23:30of the playoffs with all that pressure and see the Packers and the Vikings maybe storming the
23:35fort at that point but if we are looking dubsy right let's just say Lions Eagles Buccaneers Rams
23:39that's one through four if you see five six and seven like which one of those teams you feel goes
23:45the distance or has the chance to more than the other because to me it would be in the same order
23:50as it's listed Vikings Packers and commanders but do you see it any other way in the NFC
23:55look I I like the Packers as the price play but they're certainly going to have uh you know a
24:00very tough assignment I think would have to be you know the Vikings if they were to square off
24:05going against the Rams they'd have the best chance because you know there's just been a
24:10little inconsistency with the Rams when that offense is absolutely singing they can mix it
24:16with the best of them but you know if Cooper or Pooka or Kyron weren't to show up if Matty
24:22Stafford were to you know come up with a couple of key turnovers which we've we've seen from
24:26Matty Stafford in the past then I think the Vikings would probably have the best chance of
24:31pulling that upset if they were in fact uh you know booked as dogs there to open up the playoff
24:37so I think it'd be a fantastic uh opening round some of these matchups you wouldn't be shocked
24:42if the lowest seed were to show up and get the victory you look at in terms of going into uh
24:47playing in a hostile environment probably uh you know over in your neck of the woods going
24:52against the Eagles Tony that's going to be the toughest assignment and that's probably the team
24:56that I'd say not that I'm losing a lot of stock in but for the commanders in Daniels you know you
25:02look at their record very impressive but I just keep watching them play thinking they're going to
25:06come undone they're going to come undone I think it's finally going to catch up to them this week
25:11going against Philadelphia so that'd probably be the biggest uh the biggest fight for me but
25:15they'd probably also be the uh the biggest dog going in there to the playoffs if they were to
25:20in fact get the Eagles week one so we'll put you on the spot here Dubsy of those odds to win the
25:26NFC Eagles Lions Packers Vikings Buccaneers and Rams who would get your money right now to win
25:31the NFC oh Tony why are you gonna do me like this I think come on come on it'd be Detroit it'd be
25:38Detroit I think uh they'll fire find a way here plus 240 if you can get them in their building
25:44at Ford Field they're going to be a very tough out but if they don't have that one seed then
25:48um I I take that out of the mix so it's uh it's a little chalky Donny whoever gets that one seat
25:54they're going to take out the conference surprise surprise but I'll still lean towards Detroit as
25:59being the best team but the best team with uh I guess the most momentum it's going to be your
26:04Eagles and uh the odds board very reflective of that sitting at a short price plus 220 of the FD
26:10sportsbook great finish in the NFC let's roll it over to the AFC because we are certainly with
26:15three games to go have a lot of turmoil top of the standings if the season ended today number
26:20one overall seed that's the Chiefs followed by the Bills Steelers and Texans the Wild Cards
26:25my goodness the Ravens the Broncos and the Chargers followed close behind by the Colts
26:30and the Dolphins here which makes up for some crazy matchups if we remove once again Dovesy
26:35the Chiefs from the equation the Bills would take on the Chargers the Steelers would take on the
26:40Broncos and the Ravens and Texans will line up here so the thoughts on going into the playoffs
26:46here intriguing matchups nonetheless but do we agree if the Chiefs hold that top spot and at the
26:51Fandles sportsbook a plus 240 price as a great chance to win that conference because you're
26:56figuring Mahomes will be healthy he'll be healthy and he'll be at arrowhead so that's going to be a
27:02very tough assignment I think the Bills are you know the best team in the conference but just
27:08having that home ground advantage I think that could be the deciding factor we we teased a little
27:13earlier just giving up so many points here for the Bills you're not going to have that opportunity
27:18going against you know a tougher defensive unit there so that's the concern for the Bills but
27:24again it's wide open for a bit of a race I feel like this year more so than any other it could be
27:30you know we could see a nice little lane here for a bit of an upset run I think the Ravens are
27:35going to get a nice little look at possibly pulling that upset I think the Denver Broncos
27:39you know that they'd be a tough out in week one whether uh you know they're getting the Steelers
27:45over there in Pittsburgh that's going to be a low scoring you know Payton going against Tomlin
27:49the smartest minds in the game so I think the Broncos have a very good chance of pulling the
27:54upset if they could uh you know find their way into the playoffs so I've said it once I'll say
27:59it again parity more so than any other past season coming into the playoffs for this year Donny what
28:04about for you is it all about the Chiefs who would be uh I guess not that long shot but that value
28:10play that could pull a bit of an upset and make that run yeah like I don't think to be honest
28:15the Chiefs are the best team in the AFC but circumstances dictate on what those outcomes I
28:20think will be that means if the Chiefs are the number one overall seed they get the extra week
28:24and Patrick Holmes may be resting up that ankle even more they're home at Arrowhead they're
28:28extremely tough to beat anywhere let alone on their home field but if you are sliding that
28:33needle down I do think the Bills have the capabilities and have shown over the past
28:37couple weeks which includes beating the Kansas City Chiefs they can handle the AFC the intrigue
28:42for me really comes at that five seed right now which could change and maybe if you see a victory
28:47this week out of the Ravens they could overtake the Pittsburgh Steelers and steal that division
28:52lead which gives them the home game but I'll tell you right now if you are the Texans like hey
28:56cruise control right now let's sit in this four seed and you end up round one with the Ravens in
29:01your own building that's going to be a tough pill to swallow for them so when I look at some of the
29:05odds you're right Bills plus 200 to win the AFC Kansas City Chiefs plus 240 price the Ravens plus
29:11390 and then you see the Texans 11 to 1 along with the Pittsburgh Steelers that team that could
29:16really throw a wrinkle if they bring their A game is the Baltimore Ravens they're built to win in any
29:22type of weather but we're still waiting Dubsy can Lamar Jackson deliver when it absolutely matters
29:28the most in the playoffs I think he can Donnie and I think he would have learned a lot of lessons
29:33from last season in years prior obviously it's not all about listen to uh the media but he uh
29:40he hears that smoke directed towards him we know they abandoned the run game when they absolutely
29:45shouldn't have last year and guess what now you've got King Henry leading the backfield there as well
29:51so they can get it done with a run game the wide receivers have been fantastic and suddenly you've
29:55got the big one two there with your tight ends as well so this offense this quarterback that
30:01running back a very very scary and formidable out you get him a plus 390 Tony I don't care
30:07where you're playing this they'd be scary bottoms up at the bar yeah that means you're drinking and
30:12having a good time bottoms up in the NFL you're hoping you even have a job next year talk about
30:17the worst teams in action Dubsy we like great football we like to watch entertaining football
30:22on our television it's great when the big teams line up because we sit down and enjoy it which
30:26is why we talk playoff race once we get to the playoffs great football teams playing great
30:31football we love that but there's also the other side of the NFL with horrendous football teams that
30:38we see on a week-to-week basis and it's crazy because you might sell yourself right you look
30:42at the major league baseball and you go well one team's going to spend 350 million dollars on the
30:46roster dubs the other is going to spend 30 million of course there's a discrepancy but in the NFL
30:50you have a cap and you have a number you can't go below so theoretically every single team should
30:55have the same opportunities to be good as any other team and also if you're bad you get a higher draft
31:00pick with a quicker chance to improve your football team but still we have teams that are
31:06two wins and three wins and four wins on the season so now as we take a look at the race to
31:11the bottom and the NFL's worst records which we talked about the Tennessee Titans at 3-11
31:17earlier with Will Levis why are you making a quarterback change just stay with the narrative
31:22that Levis will continue to lose football games so you could have the worst record
31:26it's tough as a fan base to enter the season and go I hope we end up with the worst record no
31:31because early on maybe the team gets good and you can make a playoff run and you can cheer on your
31:35team but it's apparent once you get to December if your team's not going to make the playoffs
31:39lose every possible game you can so the two teams let's start here the Las Vegas Raiders
31:45and the New York Giants both with two wins you look at the remaining schedule for the Raiders
31:51it's Jacksonville it's New Orleans and it's the Chargers for the Giants it's Atlanta Indianapolis
31:57and Philadelphia so for me the Raiders actually have winnable games if that makes sense even if
32:03I don't think they're probably going to win the Giants playing at Atlanta they're probably going
32:07to lose that game because Atlanta's fighting for something then Indianapolis two weeks before the
32:11season ends Indy's still in the playoff race they'll be fighting and then at the Philadelphia
32:15Eagles which will be interesting if the Eagles have let's just say maybe the number one seed
32:20locked up or they can't get the number one overall seed do the Giants still even want to
32:25play in that football game because they know they want to lose who is that top seed to be the worst
32:29seed Dubsy which means you get the number one overall pick my best worst team it's going to be
32:36in New York Donnie it's going to be the Giants I think they're going to get a slightly tougher
32:42schedule uh than what we see there for uh the Raiders but look who wants uh Shador Sanders
32:47who wants him the most I think it's the Giants they really need that top quarterback and they
32:53just they don't have the answers it doesn't matter who they put at uh at quarterback whether it's
32:57Tommy Cutlets whether it's uh you know Timmy Boyle whether it's been true lock they just have
33:02they've got nothing they've got no weapons it's uh it's so embarrassing to watch Donnie but
33:08you know what uh I like watching some of these lower rated football teams on a Sunday afternoon
33:13because you know I sit there Donnie and say well that's what I'd be doing you know I'd be playing
33:18like Bryce Young for the Panthers maybe I'd connect on every 10th pass maybe I could scramble for five
33:24six yards and still miss that uh that first down that uh that opportunity to get the boys
33:29across the sticks but I think the Giants are uh they're not picking up another win to close out
33:34this season they'll finish off with uh with two wins for the year and I think that's going to be
33:39enough for them to get that number one draft pick out of the cellar dwellers for you Donnie
33:44who's uh I guess who's been the standout who you're most surprised with that we're talking
33:49about trying to vie for that number one draft spot I'll tell you who might get the most help
33:53here if that makes sense though it's like you look at the Raiders what are they in the market for
33:57absolutely a quarterback you saw the signs in the back of the end zone repeatedly tank Fruchadour
34:01then you take a look at the New York Giants absolutely in need of a quarterback now you
34:05do have two talented quarterbacks up top are they generational guys that we talk about like
34:09the Trevor Lawrence's or the Andrew Lux or you actually tanking Caleb Williams was thought to be
34:13one of those guys last year not necessarily but let's just say Dubsy one and two finish Raiders
34:18and Giants they both have to go quarterback they really do so which leads me to the New England
34:23Patriots at three and eleven let's just say they lose the Buffalo the charges in Buffalo again
34:27which they probably will they seemingly think they have their quarterback in Drake May which
34:32might allow them to get a player like Travis Hunter and not spend capital to move up and get
34:37that quarterback or even Travis Hunter I do think that is interesting to me so you are looking and
34:42again this is what we talk about sometimes if it's September October November typically honestly
34:48dubs head coaches will never tank a football game their job is to get their team most prepared you
34:52know tanks the football game the general manager when he comes into the coach's office he goes
34:57you're playing this guy this guy and this guy you're sitting this guy this guy and this guy and
35:00oh yeah you thought you're going to play your middle linebacker he's now an IR for the rest of
35:04the year with some mysterious elbow injury so you can't play him at all so for me I still think the
35:10Raiders who are in pole position to get their pick at number one I can't imagine they win any of those
35:17games even if they are winnable and I'm talking about you should be actively sabotaging your team
35:22a couple years ago Dubsy I remember a standalone game the Philadelphia Eagles during COVID at home
35:27were playing the Washington football team at the time and Jalen Hurts was told get out of that game
35:33we're putting in Nate Sudfeld to make sure we don't win this game which they wound up getting
35:38Devonta Smith from that pick which was a great move there is no way the Raiders and Giants should
35:43come anywhere close to winning those final two games which means you should be actively fading
35:48them down the stretch because if they do win that's just malpractice on your franchise yeah
35:54it really is and uh that's one way to uh send the fan base stir crazy there and we've seen
36:01you know Sean Sanders it feels like he's uh he's welcoming the opportunity about uh trying to make
36:07his way over there to Sin City and I think you know they're going against the Jags who
36:11showed a bit of fight last week you've got the Saints over uh in the Big Easy and then
36:16the Chargers who are still gonna have plenty on the line to finish out uh finish out the year so
36:21the Raiders top choice of as finishing the worst team in the National Football League a little
36:27disappointed from uh the Panthers Donnie that's who I highlighted uh preseason to have the worst
36:33worst winning record and suddenly Bryce Young has got him at three wins so that's a little
36:37disappointing for me. Dubs one of these teams is going to win a football game in week 18 and
36:45absolutely send their fan base over the edge I can only go from personal experience and I wasn't even
36:50like basically around at the time to cheer this on but the Philadelphia Eagles had the worst
36:54record in football in the 1970s and lost or excuse me won their final game which cost them OJ Simpson
37:01which would have been on their roster to help them out teams have done this all along I just can't
37:05wait to see if the Raiders and the Giants each have two wins left as the Raiders will play the
37:09chart the Chargers and the Giants will play the Philadelphia Eagles what their rosters will look
37:13like in that final game and if they even take us they might just take a knee the whole game to make
37:18sure they can't actually win that football game so even though we look at the top of the standings
37:23of how intriguing it's going to be Dubsy on the way out which team's getting the one two and the
37:26three position equally intriguing for these teams with three and two wins on who's actually going to
37:32be that number one overall pick we'll certainly find out let's move on to the awards market
37:38Josh Allen is he your MVP let's talk about it next season awards season awards it's that time of
37:46season here and maybe these awards were already opened up Dubsy's was a wrap presents at
37:50Christmas time not have the gifts already open did the gift already open in the MVP market because
37:56Josh Allen has been nothing short of sensational this football season particularly over the past
38:02couple weeks and at the Fandles Sportsbook this morning if you want to invest in Josh Allen being
38:07the MVP of the regular season he's at a minus 900 price followed by Lamar Jackson who threw five
38:13touchdown passes this past weekend and then Saquon who was ramping up I mean the guy gets 60 yards
38:18like he's trash get him out of here now back to 18 to 1 Dubsy Josh Allen how can Lamar Jackson
38:25pass him or Saquon Barkley over the final couple weeks of the season or he can't it's going to be
38:30Josh Allen and that's all that's said and done yeah I don't think a running back can catch Josh
38:36Allen I don't think Lamborghini action Jackson Lamar Jackson can catch Josh Allen I think that
38:41was uh you know the cherry on top from what we saw last weekend really not gonna have to stuff
38:46the stat sheet to close out the regular season and you know I think it bodes well for Josh Allen
38:51with a lot of pundits saying that they were losing stock coming in to this year but suddenly you've
38:56got a very competent running back that's allowed Josh Allen to really free up and he can use you
39:02know he can use the wheels he's the most athletic quarterback arguably one of the most athletic
39:06quarterbacks the arms look fantastic he's uh he's gonna reach 3,500 passing yards out of this
39:13weekend he's got 25 passing tighties there he's he's getting it into the house he's doing everything
39:19for his team to make them championship contenders and it's really going to be tough for them to lose
39:24any of that stock I guess you know the running backs always up against it in this award and for
39:29Lamar Jackson just having a couple other weapons that uh that he's been splitting that uh that that
39:35workload that fanfare with uh in terms of trying to get stock in this award it's going to be a tough
39:40sell so yes I think Josh Allen and that fantastic quarterback play that we've seen week in week out
39:46is going to be enough for him to solidify this award and we're seeing that very reflective here
39:51in the odds market minus 900 so really going to be tough for any player trying to play catch up
39:57and take out this one here's my favorite though dubs right because if you win the MVP you still
40:02have the offensive player of the year but if you win the MVP and you're on offense you can't win
40:06offensive player of the year let's remove that from the equation let's even get down a little
40:09bit deeper number two in the odds race here to win MVP is Lamar Jackson at plus 650 so you figure
40:14if he doesn't win that well then he's a shoo-in to win offensive player of the year because he
40:20came in second MVP market then you slide it down like well wait a second Saquon Barkley's 18 to
40:25one to win the MVP but minus 500 to win the actual offensive player of the year and then Jamar Chase
40:31followed by Josh Allen, Derrick Henry and then Lamar Jackson at 35 to one to win the regular season
40:37offensive player of the year so I won't confuse you any further is it going to be Saquon Barkley
40:42or can somebody else jump up and take that award from Saquon? Well I mean it's it's it's tough in
40:48trying to have a measuring stick on how they decipher and differentiate between the two but
40:53from what we've seen out of Saquon he's looked fantastic and you know the numbers really support
40:58Jamar Chase as well but Saquon Barkley not only is he stuff in the numbers and the stat sheet what
41:04what's he had most carries in the NFL he's got the most yards almost at 1700 rushing yards he's
41:11probably going to get to 2k he's getting it into the house and he's picking up stall points he's
41:16he's doing back backflips over the opponents and he's really carried this run for the Philadelphia
41:22Eagles so I agree with the market and I think he's going to be another tough one to catch minus 500
41:28there's a lot of juice there but for Jamar Chase, Josh Allen if he were to be taken out the equation
41:33I just don't think any of these other contenders can really quite catch up to Saquon and it's going
41:38to be tough for him to lose stock because he's he's just got that workload week in week out
41:44Donnie we saw a bit of a low spot last week he still put up strong numbers so Saquon offensive
41:49player of the year and rightfully so. There's three games still left to play we looked at the MVP
41:55market and Josh Allen feels like he is such a lock to win that award at minus 900 which is a great
42:00price point for him saying he's probably going to win it. Offensive rookie of the year Jaden Daniels
42:06minus 4,000 to win that award almost four times to five times as high as what we're seeing at a
42:11Josh Allen MVP race with Bo Nix at a plus 1,200. Bo Nix has a couple monster games to finish this
42:17season out is this race over and should Jaden Daniels be a minus 4,000 favorite at the Fandu
42:23Sportsbook? No I don't agree with this one Donnie I think there's a big discrepancy from what we've
42:28seen I tell you what Brock Bowers he's on the other conversation as well what would have to go
42:33wrong for Jaden Daniels he'd have to you know go for less than 200 passing yards for probably two
42:39of the next three for Bo Nix he would probably have to go north of 250 but there's only 70 yards
42:45between them I guess that the discrepancy in the odds goes back to the start of the year when we're
42:50talking about Caleb Williams and Jaden Daniels as being the two superstars and Bo Nix in that fanfare
42:56I think Nixon's live at 12 to 1 Donnie they're upset
43:00defensive player of the year T.J. Watt defensive rooker of the year Quinion Mitchell and coach of
43:04the year Kevin O'Connell lead the other races hour number three next where does the time go
43:10goes quickly here and by the way if I'm doing the math correctly next week is Christmas so there you
43:14go we're a week away from opening presents but we always like to ask who the public wants in their
43:20presents this year and we'll get to that in just a few moments but dubs the energy's been high the
43:25two hours like I mean like this right now man oh it's electric Donnie the vibes are one would say
43:32immaculate you could say we've we've got that aura going early on a Wednesday so a few sports
43:38fans appreciate coming along for the ride and Donnie why wouldn't it be how much do we have
43:43going on in the landscape not just for this afternoon but going into a new week in the
43:48National Football League it's bowl season we've got the NBA Cup that's run and done
43:53thank goodness that is over there last night but I'm charged up I'm feeling limber I don't want to
43:59stop this thing I don't want to cap it at three hours Donnie I want to keep on going give the
44:03people what they want exactly and in the holiday spirit at the bottom of the hour Dubsy you know
44:08we wish you goodbye and give you good thoughts here and then we get a guy who's going to come
44:11on and talk about his favorite meatball recipes and fashion attire and fashion faux pas for the
44:15holidays with Joe Lisi who's changed his name from Joe Lisi to one word Joe Lisi get ready for that
44:21coming up at the bottom of the hour but let's get to it here and let's have some fun and reach out
44:25to the people Dubs because we love to hear what the people have to say a couple hundred votes in
44:30here's the question at Sports Grid our account here on X which team is the best bet to win
44:37Super Bowl and by the way what is the LIX Super Bowl what is Super Bowl what this year 50 what
44:42is that 56 57 50 something about but yeah but can we do a way with the LIX I mean I mean it was
44:50really cool like in the beginning like Super Bowl 1 2 3 like right 1 2 3 59 like we barely can even
44:56understand what it is now but that was the question that went out to the people Dubs there were three
45:00choices and the other button which means you can reply back and say what your favorite team is that
45:06you think is going to win the Super Bowl as your best bet in order the Buffalo Bills the Philadelphia
45:11Eagles and the Detroit Lions the price points are significant the Bills plus 450 the Eagles at plus
45:16480 and the Lions at a five to one price most notably the right ends where are the Chiefs at
45:21and understandable but the leader in the clubhouse right now is the Buffalo Bills at a plus 450 price
45:29Dubsy I didn't vote for the Bills but I ask you this did you vote for the Bills and do you think
45:34the Bills are the best bet to win the Super Bowl hand up Donnie oh yeah I selected the Bills they're
45:40the best team in football and they're finally gonna get their brains hear me out Donnie hear
45:45me out Donnie it's Super Bowl 59 I'm glad we deciphered those Roman numerals they're the best
45:51team in football they've got the best quarterback the best player in the league Joshy Allen putting
45:56them on he's back and they're finally gonna take that forward step whether it's it's the Chiefs
46:00wherever you've got to play them they are built for the big stage they've got to keep the points
46:05down on the defensive side but we are spot on I'm in line here with the odds makers at plus 450
46:10still not a bad spot it's a sign of the times any team could make a realistic run going into
46:15the postseason I don't think there's a big separation from the uh the top contenders to
46:20the also rants and I think the Bills they are a superior football team they're the Kansas City
46:24Chiefs I think we're gonna see that once it's uh it's all said and done if I hit the Bills Donnie
46:29and you're not uh riding with Joshy Allen yeah where have you gone don't tell me it's your
46:34Philadelphia Eagles Donnie who's the team for you yeah now focus on me right now boys here's what we
46:40want to look at and here's what's the differentiating factors going to be you see the
46:43Bills at a plus 450 price what's the common denominator that the Buffalo Bills don't have
46:48in their trophy case so I'm just gonna and they cut me off on the screen right here which is
46:51really disrespectful as I was going to you know present my point here with some visual takes here
46:56even though we are on TV and radio but as I slide my chair back down you see that right there you
47:00see that Vince Lombardi trophy that sits back here that's a replica and that's something that
47:04the Philadelphia Eagles have won as recent as 2017 the Buffalo Bills are notorious for making
47:10it to the Super Bowl and coming up lame which they might be able to do but my question is
47:15can the Buffalo Bills even get to the Super Bowl and I say this of having a framed picture on my
47:20wall of excuse me a framed jersey of Josh Allen love the guy he's gonna win MVP he is tremendous
47:25but Dubsy you cannot win a Super Bowl with a defense that plays like the Buffalo Bills the
47:31Philadelphia Eagles can with their number one ranked defense so for me only 32 voted for the
47:38Eagles at the plus 480 price which I voted for not being a homer at this point I just look at the
47:44most well-rounded team in the NFL right now is the Eagles and also a little bit harder if the
47:49Buffalo Bills currently today would not be that number one overall seed neither would be the
47:53Philadelphia Eagles but I do think the Eagles would have a better chance of beating Detroit
47:57in Detroit if that's the way it played out with their injury situation then the Buffalo Bills going
48:02in to take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead it's a close race I get it and I love the Bills
48:08they're a fun team and nothing nothing nothing more Dubsy if the Eagles and the Bills played
48:12in the Super Bowl that would be epic it would be sensational it would be electric two uh two
48:18supremos there at quarterback and that's going to be the deciding factor Johnny you know high point
48:24about Josh Allen the offense but it is going to come down to the defensive side whoever can keep
48:29the points off the board the Eagles have proven they've got it that's still the question mark
48:33for the Bills I do think they can figure it out I don't think they're going to have much of a test
48:37over the next you know three weeks we have to wait and get that referendum spot in the post
48:42season but certainly they've got the offense can the defense match enshrined that's cool that's
48:47what's going to win championships that's what's going to win tough ball games and what a matchup
48:51that would absolutely be I just I just look at this team in Buffalo I look at Josh Allen and
48:57they're just finding a way to get it done they need the other side of the ball to uh you know
49:02to meet them up there and play complimentary but I just think the Bills this is their time to shine
49:07they've learned a couple of uh you know tough lessons over the last couple of years and
49:11I really think uh they're built for the big stage but that's uh that's the beauty of where we find
49:16ourselves three weeks out here to close out the regular season the Eagles have looked fantastic
49:20Detroit Lions they've certainly uh you know been one of the you know premier contenders going
49:26through the regular season and we've highlighted a couple of prize plays Donnie would not be shocked
49:31if we get a bit of a long shot really making a surge uh in trying to take out the conference
49:36and maybe trying to take out uh the big Super Bowl 59 the big dance so rightfully so the Eagles you
49:43made a glowing endorsement it could be time to uh to start lubing up those light bulbs in uh the
49:49city of Philadelphia Donnie what would the celebrations look like for yourself for me
49:55that grant here's now here's the the contrast that we have to work through Dubsy we're gonna be in
49:59New Orleans we're gonna be back here at Homedale doing that Super Bowl and I'm telling you right
50:03now I started to lay down the law Dubs because I'm glad you asked that question like as you know
50:07pro football today in game live we do that live on the set some people like to splash the pot which
50:12means in the background somebody might have a faster feed let me tell you something if I am
50:16working Super Bowl Sunday with the Philadelphia Eagles and there might be Bills fans back there
50:22which I know there are in the production you know charts let's just say if that pot is getting
50:27splashed against my Philadelphia Eagles it might be you know sometimes when somebody pulls the plug
50:32on the network it just goes like and you just see like the colors on the screen we might get that
50:37here at the network if I'm working and the pot is being splashed like a late 40 yard field goal
50:42beats the Eagles like we saw with the Kansas City Chiefs a couple years ago and I lose it and I hear
50:46the cheering in the background I don't even know if we'll have a network again Dubsy that's how I
50:50think it's going to go. Can we get a DRS walk off things that you'd love to see it'd be great
50:56television great or an agreement there's there's nothing worse Donnie when when someone's a couple
51:03of seconds ahead of that feed giving you score updates or you know giving you the play-by-play
51:08very frustrating indeed but look Eagles absolutely live they answered all the other questions we saw
51:14last week and arguably have the most explosive offense in the league right now you're still getting
51:19a good price Donnie I mean I feel like this odds board is telling us that it's still wide open to
51:25the top five contenders and we really haven't had that over the last couple of years. Yeah we got it
51:31by the way also though look we have to think about that at the network too because last year like Gabe
51:35was in house as we watched last year when there's a Kansas City Chiefs and the 49ers nobody was
51:39really like Chiefs fans or Niners fans we're just rooting on our bets and having fun at that point
51:43but Gabe is a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan Tammy Arnell in the background is a Buffalo Bills fan
51:48myself and Kevin are Eagles fans like that's I mean we might have to have like high you know
51:53sometimes you could just call like hey look we need an extra couple HR people for the weekend
51:56here that might be in place like I'm telling you right now a battlefield will be set on that
52:01Sunday afternoon if multiple factions are cheering in different directions outside of your actual
52:07bets at that point obviously we have to fly you in just to be the nice guy on the set saying hey
52:11calm it down we're all big winners here on the set I'm telling you you know how they get out the
52:16fan zone go on their radio row what about we get a little wrestling ring a little tag team DRS from
52:22the top row yep WWF Kevin's favorite organization maybe so we'll be right back right here on the
52:30early line right back out of here our number three yes the Super Bowl is going to be here
52:34yes we are going to anticipate two great football teams playing in there but before we get there
52:38Dubsy there's a lot of stuff to talk about over these final three games which includes a divisional
52:43duel which is an amazing game in the standings the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers
52:48effectively fighting for maybe the last playoff spot in the AFC the Broncos will go on the road
52:54on a Thursday night which we always know is tough the Chargers were embarrassed last week by the
52:59Tampa Bay Buccaneers the Denver Broncos picked up a great win over the Colts which was helped by
53:04a fumble on the goal line by Jonathan Taylor which would have set them up talking about the Colts
53:09up by two touchdowns in the second half the Broncos took advantage of it they won they come
53:14into this football game Dubsy as the underdog getting two and a half points on the road and a
53:18total of 42 and a half so my question to you is here can the Denver Broncos continue their winning
53:24waves because as I like to say the Broncos are great at beating the teams they're supposed to
53:29and what I mean by supposed to is they're the favorites they're not the favorites in this game
53:33they're on the road on a Thursday they still have the rookie quarterback
53:37what's your prognosis this week for tomorrow night's game between the Broncos and the Chargers
53:42yes it's an exciting one it's a uh a fascinating one you know taking a look at the uh the playoffs
53:47and how it would look if uh it were to start today Chargers have got the eight wins Bronx
53:52have got the nine and you look at the Colts they're sitting back there with uh with six wins
53:56so they lost a lot of stock with losing that game to the Denver Broncos in for Denver I tell you
54:01what they've really exceeded expectations they had one of the lower win totals at the start five
54:07and a half I believe uh second only there to the Panthers and they didn't look great against
54:12Cleveland two weeks ago they didn't look fantastic against the Colt last week but you look at that
54:18eventual score line and they got the result and for me that tells us it's a well-coached team
54:23we saw Bo Nix he came up with a couple of turnovers but what I liked about Bo Nix and I
54:27guess uh the bounce back is that they didn't take a backwards step this kid just goes out
54:32then he's playing with so much confidence when they need to get the run game more involved we
54:36saw that um you know I guess uh influenced in the second half and that took a bit of pressure off Bo
54:41but I think it's a really good spot for the Chargers a little disappointing from what we
54:46saw last weekend I thought they were live going against the Bucs but they were embarrassed there
54:51by uh by Baker Mayfield so I think the Chargers are going to be up against it in this one you've
54:55got two of the smartest minds in the business there on the sidelines with Payton and Harbo and
55:01at plus 122 I think Bo Nix is going to be a lot better and with that I think it's going to be
55:05enough on the offensive side to take uh the Broncos all the way here for the Chargers
55:10going against the likes of Sertain and uh Benito who's been fantastic this is going to be a very
55:16tough uh tough turnaround playing here on Thursday night football so I think the Broncos are live and
55:21not to say it's a must win but there is plenty of motivation with this being a divisional dance
55:27oh it certainly is Thursday night too so many things up for grabs which means you're playing
55:30it like in a playoff atmosphere now the past couple prime time games have been really low
55:35scoring dubs we take a look at this 42 and a half at the fan blue sportsbook as the number for this
55:39game and it sounds right and also if you take a look at defensive metrics and rankings pro football
55:44focus is number three defense dubsy it's the Broncos the number four defense it's the Los
55:48Angeles Chargers both of the leak coverage skills on the back end which brings me to my next point
55:53here quarterback play in this game Justin Herbert 225 and a half is his number Bo Nix at 223 and a
55:59half as his passing prop number so I'm actually looking at this game figured it is going to be
56:04close but I also think this is going to be lower scoring I lean towards that under a 42 and a half
56:09also yeah it feels like a playoff game it's going to have that intensity for uh the Broncos I think
56:16they figured it out last week they've got to get that run game going and they've got to get it going
56:20early and for the Chargers you know for the last you know month or so they've they've tried to get
56:25that passing going and trying to get uh you know the vertical options a bit more present but I think
56:31they're gonna have to get back to uh their ground game as well so with that I think uh you know the
56:35clock's gonna be chewed up and what's the total sitting at 42 and a half I don't think uh we get
56:40to that marks low scorer run game heavy I don't like those passing props for either quarterback
56:46I love the look of the unders for uh for both of those as well so give me the unders give me
56:51the Broncos to get it done uh in a close arm wrestle for Thursday night football I think it's
56:55gonna be a fantastic matchup Donnie could come down to uh the final couple of minutes final
57:00couple of possessions as well final field goal kick there certainly you're looking at the rushing
57:05props too only two running backs listed here for the Chargers that's Gus Edwards and Kamani Badal
57:1034 and a half and 28 and a half so not even big numbers and then for the Denver Broncos it's just
57:14Bo Nicks right now at the Fandu Sportsbook at 21 and a half because they have a lot of running
57:19backs you just don't know who's actually going to get the carries at any certain time so when
57:23I line games up like this this is like a nightmare scenario where I think the game is going under the
57:28quarterback props aren't great which running back you're going to pick out of a hat the one thing
57:31we do know is each one of these teams does have number one wide receivers the question is how
57:36healthy are they going to be lad mcconkie that question mark he actually leads the game right
57:41now with the market at 64 and a half receiving yards Cortland Sutton the starter here for the
57:46Denver Broncos that's 62 and a half we're not worried about Sutton's injury conditions more
57:50than lad mcconkie's but then there's Quinton Johnston the Vaughn Vele Marvin Mims all low
57:56numbers in this spot so you could find the gold mine here but picking out who actually is going
58:01to be the lead dog against two quality defenses dubsy that's a little bit taller of a task
58:06yeah it really is you know that number for Cortland Sutton he's seeing right around four
58:11four targets a game for 62 and a half I think it's a big mark I look towards Mims who I thought
58:16was uh you know one of the catalysts and trying to get uh get that game going on Sunday he's got
58:20a low total at 26 and a half and Vele's uh Vele's been sneaky good as well he's not seen a lot of
58:27production but uh if he gets two three looks he's going to clear that mark of 31 and a half receiving
58:33yards so I think it's going to be a fantastic matchup I don't think the Broncos defense is
58:37getting uh enough uh enough respect there Pat Sertain has been fantastic and they're uh they're
58:43coming up with the big plays they're taking it to the house and suddenly uh very scary out but
58:48you know he could overtake uh Sertain for uh possibly defensive player of the year I think
58:54that market's still wide open as well and you're taking a look too this is a massive game for the
58:59Denver Broncos because if you look at the standing Stubbsy nine and five and eight and six
59:04let's just say the Chargers do win this game they have identical records at nine and six
59:08but the Chargers would have the sweep on the season over the Denver Broncos and catapult
59:12themselves into that final spot with that tiebreaker you see the tail the tape in this game
59:16two good records on these teams playoffs off the board for the Chargers the Broncos at minus 1200
59:22these things could go a little bit different as they change up so this is a great game it's not
59:26one of those like oh no the Cleveland Browns are going to take on another team they're like
59:29the Carolina Panthers on a Thursday massive implications played and I believe was this
59:34game flexed I want to say I'll confirm this with the producers in the back which I do have a a
59:39on this that will continue now so a lot more topics to go here yeah feels like we're getting
59:45started but two and a half hours into it it's Stubbsy and Donnie it's a Wednesday it's a sports
59:49grid network the only place you need to be
