00:00I like the strings.
00:11I see what we're doing there with NSYNC.
00:12Joe, what stands out to you tonight?
00:15Yeah, in this game here,
00:19we were just talking about some of the props,
00:23as exotic as they may seem,
00:25that we like here on both sides.
00:27But my main play in this game is going to be,
00:30if it ain't broke, let's not try and fix this.
00:34And I don't think the Chicago offense
00:36and interim head coach,
00:39former interim offensive coordinator,
00:42slash coordinator, whatever, Thomas Brown,
00:45I do not think that they are gonna be able
00:48to fix their inefficiencies this quickly
00:52and against this Seattle team,
00:54against that front seven,
00:56who I do believe will have some success
00:59against that depleted offensive line.
01:01So I am backing Seattle in the first half.
01:04You can back them on the money line if you like.
01:06I think two, two and a half is the number right now
01:10based upon what we have seen the Bears do
01:12just over the last month of games,
01:15which would include up until last week against Detroit,
01:20they hadn't scored a first half point
01:22going back to Thanksgiving
01:25when they played, ironically enough, Detroit on that game.
01:29This is a very bad coach and bad plan team.
01:34I'm gonna go, I am absolutely gonna go team total
01:37under Chicago Bears first half,
01:39and I'm going to back Seattle
01:41to lay the two and a half in the first half
01:44and say they have at least that,
01:46a field goal lead or more
01:48when it comes to the third quarter.
01:50Both good looks.
01:52You know, I think as far as the prop market goes,
01:55there's some unpredictability, obviously,
01:58in terms of how often guys are going to get the ball,
02:02who's going to get the ball specifically for the Bears
02:04in terms of an overwhelming majority,
02:06which is why I say I like the idea of spreading it around.
02:10And you could even, I didn't mention him,
02:11but you could lump Cole Komet in with Dion.
02:14He's not gonna get the same targets,
02:16but he's capable of one big game,
02:19clearing his 17 and a half yard proper,
02:21or a 10 and an eight, whatever it may be,
02:25because he could have a couple of catches.
02:26I think that's incredibly realistic.
02:28But if you don't want to invest in him,
02:30Allen, Badunze, Moore, even Swift,
02:34these guys should be your quote unquote safe targets.
02:38What they do with them, obviously, that is to be determined.
02:41But I like the idea of investing in all of them
02:43and just banking on the majority going over.
02:47If all hit, then I mean, you've truly hit the lottery,
02:50but I don't think that is a likely occurrence in this game.
02:53That being said, if you wanted to stay away from that
02:56and just invest in the quarterback,
02:57I think Caleb Williams, who was playing better of late,
03:00going over 215 and a half, that is a very modest number.
03:04I might not feel the same way
03:05if we were looking at 235, let's say,
03:08but 215 and a half in a game
03:10that we both expect Chicago to be trailing
03:12and him to be throwing the ball,
03:14coupled with the fact that DeAndre Swift
03:16could be in a difficult matchup as a rusher
03:18because the Seahawks run defense
03:20has improved in recent weeks,
03:22I think that is a spot to strongly consider,
03:27more so than the quarterback, Gino Smith, on the other side.
03:30I would invest in him to throw an interception though.
03:32I just think a mistake is gonna happen.
03:34He has been way too reliable in terms of these picks
03:37and not in a good way, obviously,
03:39if you're a Seahawks backer,
03:40but I don't think he is going to get them
03:42in enough trouble tonight, Joe,
03:44to prevent Seattle from winning this game
03:46and covering the spread.
