Live from fatx Forum this is the odds couple on YouTube at grind City media and the official grind City media app here’s Rob fiser and Lang Whitaker hello good people welcome to the odds couple here from Grand City media here from a snowy cold Icy FedEx forum in Downtown Memphis I’m Lang Whitaker and Rob fer is usually in the seat Rob is not here Rob is in Minnesota just lost him and we just lost
Just lost somewhere Rob’s actually somewhere not as cold and icy as it is here in Memphis um cuz you think Minnesota you think that’s going to be gross and it’s not but uh John Roser is here I am here in the flesh so CJ her’s here hey everybody how’s it going we all
We all made it to down here barely we all yeah it was like it’s pretty it’s pretty harrowing out there like I I had to go pick up my son’s friend and I was driving down um popular and I saw a few cars like moving without the tires moving and you’re like
Oh you know it’s treacherous it is I don’t think it’s been this treacherous in these streets for quite some time because of the weather well yes absolutely because of the weather yeah I was I have a four-wheel drive car and even that I was trying to my wife was
Like so that means you’re going to be able to have better grip right and I said no just means all the tires are working to help you get grip but you know you see the cars when none of the tires are moving and you’re sliding that doesn’t matter if you have
Four-wheel drive or not just means the roads are terrible so everyone watching be safe be uh be cool and I Rosen I talking about this CJ we we think we have a beef with Rob we need to bring up yeah we think we should get a push on
That Steelers Bills game from last week cuz we both took the under on that game uh assuming the weather was going to be terrible oh I actually took the I took the the Steelers plus 10 or whatever it was yeah and the weather was not terrible because they just kept moving
The game back they just kept moving the game back and like so th this is this if you take a game based on the weather this is Bush yeah I took the game based on the weather and it’s not like the weather changed they changed the game
They they moved the game the weather didn’t magically change they moved the game the weather did what the weather supposed to do we knew the weather was going to do its job yeah and so we we both missed that game and we actually had some bad picks last week I did I was
One one of four that see if it wasn’t for that one I would have been four- one instead three and two which fish had a fish posted a 4 in one week last week um only one he missed was Dallas Green Bay but I think a lot of us we all missed
That one except ex CJ CJ had Green Bay was that my only pick that week last week yeah one you’re right I got Rams plus three at Detroit they still lost a game that was the only one I got right CJ that Rams Lions over like it looked
Like the side and then the second half came and like the Rams just could not get in the end thank you at this point I’m just numb to it all I’m numb I I expect that to happen now with my NFL picks Delver under was 51 and a half and
They finished with 48 points but yeah at halftime at halftime they had 39 there’s only nine points scored in the second half hey Rob Fischer you with us hello everybody he’s back you got the ice delivered the Ice Man cometh ice ice Lady Ice Lady Ice lady cometh uh she
Came and get got me some ice so that’s good this is freeze how much did you Tipper I didn’t Tipper at Dime what it’s ice dude there’s an ice there’s an ice machine down the hallway behind a locked door open the door I have an ice bucket
In my room an ice machine down the hall let me get my own ice ice I I’m not I’m not tipping for ice I refuse tip for ice let’s not talk about ice ice all over our streets and brutal here is it icy there in Minnesota Rob or
No always always and it’s like 7 degrees today and we I took an Uber earlier and the Uber driver was driving and had his window down and and and Brevin Knight said hey yo we’re not from around here can you pull your window up it’s freezing we’re not from around here
So yeah it’s I guess people there people who are from around there just drive around with their windows down but they also have the infrastructure there where like even they planned ahead they have tunnels right but like like yeah they have tunnels like you don’t even have to
Walk outside to get to places if you don’t want to because how cold it gets there we we went somewhere that was about a mile away and on the way back we literally walked indoors the whole way back to the hotel yeah would wouldn’t have been able to find it ourselves we
Had a guy we had a we had a guide uh uh who suggested that he help us and we were like okay and he helped us all the way back so it was a it was we didn’t tip him either uh but that’s just wrong
But he walked a mile with you he just walked a mile but but we did we we did call the number to say what a great job that he did for us that’s good what a great yeah so he asked us to call and and we called and and the person who
Answered the phone I think thought we were joking they’re like Oh Henry did a great job okay we we’ll tell his supervisor what do you mean you like they like guides who like take like shers they they’re all over the walkways in here all over the tunnels and they
Basically say where are you trying to go and we we told him where we were trying to go and he said here I’ll help you and we would have never we would have never made it on shout out Henry you couldn’t have given the guy 10 bucks shout out Henry you
Should brev Brevin could have given the guy 10 20 bucks maybe you should have given him a bucket of ice yeah maybe maybe I should have done that and called it even call it a day fish I don’t know if you heard uh I am asking
For a push on this bill Steelers game because the under that I picked was based on the weather and they they just decided not to have the game that day and they decided to just move the game to when the weather wasn’t going to be bad and so I would never have picked
That if I had known they were going to move the game I I actually I took Pittsburgh plus 10 thinking it was just going to be so low scoring because of the weather right that it that they were going to cover the 10 points and uh who
Else had that one CJ had Pittsburgh plus 10 I think that just needs to get erased fish didn’t pick that game he stayed off you didn’t even pick that game like our our picks were all in that game based on the weather conditions so I’m going to
Make some adjustments here to our sheet Rob okay since you’re not here Roser and I are going to make the call here so that that’s off for me um that’s off for CJ CJ goes to one and three I go to one and three great fish stays good stay one
I go to three and one yeah Roser goes to three and one oh and my overall record goes to 57 and 42 yeah no yes 5742 fish fish moved to 56 and 44 as the commissioner of our picks I would prefer just giving y’all a win because I I I
Don’t want y’all to have 99 games picked and I have a 100 I mean that’s just yeah that’s not fair we’ll pick an extra prop for the Super Bowl or something there you go there you go we’ll make it up what was the guys last week for super
Wild card games when why is it super wild card by the way cuz of the additional game of the the additional seven the two SE SE yeah the seven seed it was one now there’s two four games instead of two but why why don’t we still just
Call Wild Card Weekend super now you had an extra game they should call it extra Wild Card Weekend peacock Wild Card yeah shout out to Peacock too much hate on peacock on the’s awesome I enjoy peacock I watch a lot of the soccer on there no
Peacock’s great um big Law and Order fan big dat line fan peacock’s fantastic they uh we had the game on peacock but that none of the games were particularly good really last weekend were they was there anything any game that was exciting to Rams Lions Rams Lions was
Really good Rams Lions was intense um but that was it if if by score then yes only Rams lons I enjoyed Texans Browns cuz holy [ __ ] CJ stra is what people have told me other young quarterbacks were and they just haven’t been that right like you care
Cuz he was from Ohio State you you can know quickly that hey this is a dude and if you don’t know quickly guess what he’s probably not a dude Trevor Lawrence Justin Herbert I could go on probably not the locks of hey these dudes are
Going to be in the Super Bowl one day that we initially thought they were in part I know that because CJ stra is that and that’s what that can do when giv the opportunity to you know throw the ball downfield they there are no training wheels with this guy they’re not trying
To manage games or manage expectations with them they are hey this is the play push that damn ball down the field when he in the first half was facing this way saw a dude open that way I think it was Collins I can’t remember exactly saw him
Open that way turn the throat but didn’t get to turn all the way way so he’s this gets hit and throws a dime to the dude right there in the Red Zone they end up getting a field goal or a touchdown out of like holy [ __ ] he is real I uh let me
Dropped two Es bombs in the first segment I love it go ahead yeah well well I was goingon to say and I’m I’m by no means a Cowboys hater yeah uh Pro probably closer to a fan than I am a hater of the Cowboys but I enjoyed watching that game last week because
Holy [ __ ] I mean that was amazing what the green Packers were able to do in that game it was absolute domination it was stunning and then I was sitting I was sitting with Packers fans at a Packer bar and and shout out to the ghost River Brewing because every time
The Packers score you get a free beer and oh my God I this week it was it it was something else but that that game it was it was so shocking how much they dominated the game and could not be stopped it it was uh it was it was
Incredible I enjoyed watching I’d also say this I’m not a Cowboys fan nor am I a Cowboys hater I don’t care I’m really agnostic either either way whatever they’re they’re not part of my life you know Falcons don’t really come up against the Cowboys I don’t care about
The Cowboys either way it was so fun to watch Jerry Jones squirm in that Booth throughout the game every time every time you got more Jerry Jones reaction shots than Taylor Swift reaction shots every time something went wrong with the Cowboys you see Jerry Jones dag nabit or whatever in the Box
Um so it was so fun to watch to watch that kind of unfold I’ll also say I got I got home from uh MLK game on Mon uh from the MLK game on Monday the Grizzlies went over the Warriors and I settled in and watched um the rest of
The uh the Bucks in Eagles game and I I I knew the bucks um I I had the pick plus three money line also I knew because I mean holy [ __ ] the Eagles absolutely we saw it the last couple weeks of the season they were the team
Who looked like it and they again played like it I mean holy [ __ ] they just wanted the season to get over at the start of the game though the first half it was like oh maybe we were wrong about the Eagles wanting the season to just be
Over yeah and they had the ball in the like Midway through the third quarter they were down a touchdown at half down a touchdown right and they it was a one possession game and they had the football but again like if you’re on five why are you running to the end zone
Jayen Herz holy [ __ ] dog like what are you doing I lik well Roser had said last week you could tell the Eagles looked like they were a team who just wanted the season in and every single time you saw Jaylen Herz Trot over to the sideline sit down look straight ahead
The other coaches were like trying to talk to him T to him he had no interest in talking to the other coaches he was just talking and uh I actually started to feel bad for Jaylen Herz because like cuz he was just getting blitzed by 17 dudes every his receivers just he always
Yelling at him and everything it’s like man like AJ Brown has cursed him out like several times this season and then AJ Brown’s not playing and then all of a sudden Dallas godard’s over there complaining to him and it’s like man and he was trying to get it to Devonte Smith
Like every single play and he was he wasn’t catching balls either it was a that was a tough game for the but the Eagles did have like that body language they had you know usually after the All-Star break in the NBA season I always call it the Southwest Airlines
Portion of the Season CU it’s the do you want to get away and everybody’s just like that’s when all the fights happen and guys don’t get along and teams just look listless that’s what the eagles look like they they look like they were doing some one two3 Cancun they were
Absolutely ready to get that season over with um all right so Packers bucks Lions Advance Texans Chiefs bills all Advance uh we have some updated Super Bowl odds fish do you have those in front of you can you see them assume you pulled them maybe we lost fish again yeah we we lost
Them all right so here are the odds we got the the 49ers in the uh driver seat plus 220 Ravens plus 320 yeah bills plus 650 the Cowboys are not the Cowboys are out so it does and so were the Eagles so that’s got to be last week’s Super Bowl betting
Odds because two of those teams are completely out of the playoffs because the one I saw the 49ers are plus 130 or plus60 to win the Super Bowl the Ravens are like plus 310 and the only reason I think that is because they feel the betting odds make feel like the
49ers have an easier road to the Super Bowl whereas the B the the Ravens have to play the Texans and then they’re either going to have to play the Bills or the Chiefs here here’s one as of yesterday uh 49ers are plus 175 yeah Ravens plus 270 bills plus 490 yeah and
Then Chiefs plus 700 and then Lions plus 9 and then everyone else is 3,000 I think the value was on Green Bay and the one that I saw I’m like if plus 3,000 right if they are a team that just gets hot yeah it could be they look like yeah
People forget about the like Eli Manning both of his Super Bowls I think they were eight and eight in one of them and N9 and seven in the other like they just caught fire at the right time and Aaron Rogers Super Bowl win they had the same
Thing nine and seven snuck into the playoffs and then caught fire at the right time I would go with the the Bucks because I think the Bucks win this weekend yeah and then I’m eliminating the Packers and the 49ers unfortunate because of the cousins curse I learned
About this no team has ever won a Super Bowl the same year they’ve lost the CK cousins and both the 49ers and the Packers both lost I thought the cousins C was something else yeah what we live in the south um no I think uh and then the the AFC side I
Mean look I I do think we are we do this where we get prisoner of the moment so there is Prisoner of the moment with the Green Bay Packers there’s prisoner of the moment with the Houston Texans and I think some of it is you forget like the Ravens are the one seed
The 49ers are the one for a reason like they are for a reason that you sometimes forget how good those teams are and maybe there will be a little bit of that this weekend minded that fish we’re going through the odds for the Super Bowl to updated odds uh did you we we
Were thinking maybe the Packers are value they’re plus 3,000 if they get hot any team looks like they got a lot of value to you yeah I I I think that’s that’s one of them um no I I think it’s it’s it it’s weird because of the excitement of last
Week and you know the Packers certainly they they looked unbeatable last week I can they do it again this week I would expect not uh to think that the Bucks can win the Super Bowl is laughable to me yes um the Lions I don’t know I I just I I don’t
Believe in the Lions so in the in the NFC it feels to me like it’s San Francisco I don’t even know who I would pick second I guess the Lions by default um and then in the AFC yeah Texans I think it’s too much going forward for
Them to win another two games to get there um Kansas City I I guess can Buffalo can um and and then Baltimore certainly can so the AFC if you’re looking for a value maybe the Kansas City Chiefs yeah I mean why are you saying it with a question mark though
Rob if they’re plus what 750 it’s absolutely that is value that is a lot they got a good the Chiefs are the value they’ve got good defense sure the receivers can’t catch worth the damn but you still you still have Patrick Mahomes I saw this also Patrick Mahomes lost
About 360 expected yards from drop drops no other quarterback in the NFL had more than 300 but it’s crazy for us to I feel like it’s crazy for us to think that all of a sudden they’re going to remember how to catch the ball like they but they
Don’t they don’t have to win that way though we’re thinking about the Chiefs as in years past where they have had to catch the ball because that defense left a lot to be desired this year the defense is good to great for they still had to play the Wild Card Weekend you
Know what I mean they didn’t have home field the whole playoffs like they’re going to have to fight their way there like they’re not good enough to be where they were the last few years with this but I think I think something different though for the Chiefs was you know we we
Talked about it last week come playoff time can they be a team that just kind of turns it on and and and you know is is ready for the postseason as postseason made uh because of what they’ve done in the past and you look at last week and who was their best
Receiver it was Travis Kelce was huge yeah after weeks of talking about Travis Kelce getting old or not being able to catch the ball or something’s wrong with him well he comes out and has his best game in two months why well probably because the postseason started so yeah I
I think I think the Chiefs are that team that can they they can they can step up they can turn it on now and it’ll be interesting this week with Mahomes having his first road playoff game that he’s had in his career is Kelsey and
Rice you can trust those two and I think that having two receivers that two receiving options that you can trust is more than enough for Patrick Mahomes to put 20 to 23 points on the board and we’ve seen that defense stifle opponent’s offenses and Mahomes can run
So it gives you like an extra thing you have to I mean if you’re if you’re the bills man and you lose this one like this is you’ve built your team to be able to beat Kansas City you’ve beaten them in the regular season but you haven’t beaten them in the playoffs
And you’ve had to go to Arrowhead to do it but now you got him at home and if you can’t beat him at home when momes seriously has had his worst group of offensive players around him uh that he’s had since he’s been in Kansas City then man now that Chiefs defense is
Awesome though they’re the only team in the league did not give up 30 points in any game this year before we take a break we have one other Futures uh graphic I believe it’s college football uh futures for the next year I do that’s not it that’s magic
Grizzlies um um I can’t read the plus minus my is Georgia’s the favorite than Alabama than Ohio State than Texas than Michigan Oregon LSU omiz do we drop Alabama down some now that the yeah they probably mean three teams in the portal you’d probably bet Georgia but like
Seven months away from this oh no it’s already started my friend I’m bet I’m betting all Miss oh Lane kin is not winning a national championship as a head coach like so okay just throw that money away I T agree with you should have given that money to the freaking
Guy who yeah the ice guy yeah the ice guy or the person who gave you the one mile trip back don’t giving it to the sports BG betting on Lane kein to win a National Championship one one other one other their Futures we don’t have Brian
Kelly Brian Kelly’s a good one too by the way Brian Kelly no he’s not going to win title uh one other Futures I was just curious about I want your take who’s going to be the next Falcons coach probably bellich it seems like it you know what terrifies me is that they they
Announced when they announced they were going to start this process to interview they said that it was going to be Arthur Blank and Rich McKay the vice president who’s been presided over them being terrible the last 15 years and then they said the GM will have input and then
They said this bellich interview was oneon-one Arthur blank and Bill bellich like that’s not the guy I want doing the interviews for my head coach position and he’s being brought back in for a second interview which means it’s just going to be offered to him and he was
One-onone with hardball too and because it was oneon-one that leads me to believe is not just a head coach it is bellich as hit coach and GM again yeah right I don’t know I don’t do you want want no I want somebody who like actually is energetic and fun and cares
About the job and yeah like bich just I mean I don’t want to say BJ doesn’t care about being a head coach but you guys know what I mean like every single press conference he’s just up there grumbling and you know like I would not give him
The GM job I would definitely not give him that I don’t know i’ get him a quarterback could be worse that’s the problem I I feel like he wouldn’t like Fields like I think you need to give Kirk Cousins no no give bellich her cousins and like there you go perect I mean
Here’s the thing is as as a Falcons fan like Kirk Cousins would be an upgrade like there there’s there’s plenty of okay we joke dude kurk cousins is good yeah I’m just saying yes he is there’s a reason no team has ever lost to Kirk Cousins in then going on to win the
Super Bowl because kurk cousins doesn’t beat good team he just doesn’t he’s not good okay well first of all on this the Green Bay Packers haven’t won a Super Bowl in forever right it’s been like 2010 okay well the other two teams that play Kurt Cousins every year are the freaking
Bears and the lions and they ain’t going to Super Bowls either so that’s six games out of the year so then the rest of the schedule rotates so you’d have to go through their entire schedules over all those years and see who they played and who they haven’t played I’m telling
You that that he hasn’t beat good teams he doesn’t do that I the Packers won not they got screwed against the 49ers one was won this year he’s his prime time record is atrocious we talk about that all the time how bad Kirk is in the big
Games yeah Kirk Cousins is bad Kirk Cousins is one of the Kirk Cousins is one of the 15 best quarterbacks in the league like it’s really yes go look at who the quarterbacks in the NFL are yeah and and quarterbacks s through 15 aren’t good either are you tell okay so do you
Think Jared G is better than Kirk Cousins yeah I think neither one of them are good do you think if Kurt Cousins play for the Detroit Lions Detroit Lions would be in the exact same spot no yes they 100% would I don’t think so he’s
Not good and golf isn’t good so by your logic no quarterback is good except for like five guys in the league exactly yeah yes just because seven doesn’t make see I think I think you could say they’re good I think you could say those other guys are
Awesome I’m going to stay for Kurt Cousins man Kurt Cousins slander Prosper shout out holy [ __ ] you know what else scares me is that belich is going to get hired and he’s going to bring back freaking Matt Patricia as his offensive coordinator oh God just doing that for a season in the
Patriots should discount bich he’s with the Eagles yeah great and he ran their defense into the ground they gave him the falc interview the Falcons interviewed the Eagles offensive coordinator today saw like great yeah High the guy who scored nine points so Matt Patricia took over the defense for
The Eagles like after like the Cowboys game and surprise surprise it’s it’s still didn’t get any better because their linebackers can’t tackle and their Corners can’t tackle we see had a pencil behind his ear yes hey we’re going to take a break here let’s take a break on

Today welcome back to the Met gentle met a gentleman last night he’s a Titans fan Y and uh in living here in Minneapolis he was our bartender and he said that he wishes the Titans had KK cousins so there’s a lot of Kirk Cousins love since 2015 when Kirk Cousins became a starting
Quarterback his 19 prime time losses are the most in the NFL Kurt Cousins beats bad teams and there are a lot of bad teams in any given year in the NFL especially this division he does not beat good teams he just doesn’t cuz the Lions and the Bears have been pretty
Atro the problem is there’s a lot of quarterbacks who don’t beat bad teams either you know just because you beat bad teams you eventually you got to beat good team is twoa good twoa feasted on bad teams here’s the thing there’s so many teams I’ve seen them talking about
Like since the playoffs oh this team needs to upgrade at the quarterback or whatever like there’s a like as a Falcons fan I would take any of I’d take Tua I think her cousins like they’re going to be worse than Taylor haniki and Desmond mitter two is fine he’s just I
Mean like look there’s always at any given point in the history of the NFL it’s always like this there’s like five or six guys who are who are Elite quarterbacks and then you’ve got a group that if you have an offensive line a defensive line and like a solid weapons
Around them you win games with those guys like you can win games with them and then you’ve got guys who just suck like then you got guys like Desmond Ritter sucks yes like he’s just is not good like Kurt Cousins does not suck like he is a guy if you put solid things
Around him like you can win football games with them you can here’s my ISS not enough of them though not not enough of them not against good teams and if I need to have all that you said Rosa because you’re right if you put a so Baker Mayfield is in this category for
Me right if you put a solid offensive line around him if you put a couple of good receivers around him have a decent enough Run game and a solid defense then yes this guy’s going to win you games well why am I paying him like he’s Elite
Because in doing that it prevents me from putting solid linemen receivers Etc around him why am I paying him like he can win games on he’s not getting paid like that but if there’s only five guys who can do that you got to pay the other all like all the best quarterbacks like
The elite quarterbacks they’re the ones who make the most money like Kurt Cousins don’t get paid like that anymore not when you look at the contract Mahomes got that Lamar Jackson got that Deshawn Watson got like those guys are all have now all I at one point what it
Looked like was Kurt Cousins was making all this money well those all those other guys have all passed him now it’s the same as when you look like I remember when Jimmy garoppo for a second was the highest paid quarterback in the NFL and everybody thought that was
Insane well then you fast forward one to two years later and he’s not even close to the highest paid quarterback in the NFL like he’s not so I mean cousins is making good how much does he make like 30 something million CJ’s on the case as
Soon as you start talking about at some point the Falcons PA Matt Ryan like $40 million Matt Ryan was the MVP I know hey how many times has Kirt cousins been MVP or even in that sort of conversation well he would have been it’s just disrespect shout out KT cousins great
Family man what’ you call it the cousins conundrum or something or the the cousins curse the cousins curse the cousins curse see that’s even negative right there like well that’s his fault Kirk Cousins 20 yeah that’s nothing 20 mil this year 20 B made 55 million Mahomes 52.6 that’s the cap hit
30 so yeah that’s not that much uh Joe burrow 55 million Mahomes 52.6 five Herbert 52 and a half while we paying him Lamar Jackson 52 million Jaylen Herz 51 million do that what about Prescott Aaron Rogers 50.3 Russell Wilson 49 million Kyler Murray 46.1 million Deshawn Watson 46 million Josh Allen 43
Million those are the top 10 highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL so Kurt Cousins is paid exactly like he is like mid-range which is a mid-range quarter it’s exactly how he’s paid how many years did it take get to midrange I bet the the past three or four seasons he’s
Been paid like one of the Premier players in this league I bet Kirk Cousins tips the ice delivery lady bet he does damn right he does cuz Kirk Cousins is a great human yes Fai had $30 million I’d tip everybody no you wouldn’t all right Daniel Jones makes $40 million a
Year 25% more than Kurt Cousins and all of them are bad yes yes Matthew Stafford 40 million a year Dak Prescott 40 million a year Aaron Rogers it was 3 so these Rogers was 5050 Derek car that’s the average per year of his deal but his
Contract 37 and a half this year Derek car 37 A2 how did that happen oh speaking of bad quarterbacks how the hell does Derek Carr get that well Kurt Cousins is the 15th highest paid quarterback in the NFL which is about what he is that doesn’t make him good Jared G 33
And a half million Ryan tanah Hill 29 A5 Gino Smith 25 million Jimmy Garoppolo 24 A5 Jordan love 13 a half that you see now you’re getting to all the rookie guys so Bryce young Trevor Lawrence CJ St Zack Wilson Trey Tre Lance is the 25th highest paid quarterback in the NFL
Is jond Ritter last uh he should be no it’ll probably be Brock pie oh that’s right cuz pry lives on somebody’s couch this goes all the way down his mom’s oh that’s right yeah Kenny picket is 3.5 million yeah I mean pery makes less than all of these guys py makes like 900,000
A year all all like hey let’s Sam darnold makes more let’s uh turn forward let’s go ahead and do p let’s look forward we got we got games this week coming up let’s just talk through them real quick and then we’ll take a break when do picks uh we all have picks on
All these games so we can’t really like do picks on these games but right Ravens minus 7 versus Texans 43 and half a number of fish you got any uh trend is it wait is it minus 7 or is itus 9 which is it now well it’s fluctuated the last
Couple of days so let me let me get the updated for you all right I look it up right now it is now it is now nine so Ravens are now nine Ravens are nine point favor the Ravens are two and 12 straight up their last 14 in January oh
Um so that’s not good uh however they are five- two against to spread their last seven games a lot of under Trends here uh Ravens 10 of their last 12 in January under last seven on a Saturday under 11 of their last 15 against AFC South opponents under uh Houston same
Sort of deal they got some unders as well Houston 40 and one against the spread on Saturday they’ve covered eight of their last 11 on the road head-to-head Baltimore has won 11 of the last 13 against Houston five of the last six have gone under and six of the last
Seven at Baltimore have gone under so a lot of uh a lot of under you got good trends for both teams but a lot of under for this game and that total is 43 and a half cool so under under’s the play I think this for the the Texans if they they’re
Going to have a chance in hell of winning this this is one of those like all the way balls to the wall you got to let your balls hang dangle Ang dangle right like you just got game he has I don’t know what you Deo
Ryan does not Blitz a ton but when he blitzes Rosa you can attest to this as a 49 fan you’ve seen this defense when he decides to Blitz they do get to the quarterback you’ve got to be able to get to Lamar Jackson one and on the
Offensive side two you just got to push the ball down the field you got to say hey mistakes are going to happen we’re probably going to make a ton of those but if we can get a handful of Chunk plays plays over 20 yards we get seven or eight of those
Then hey we might be able to be in this in the fourth quarter and no matter what don’t I wouldn’t run the ball on first down I’d play action and just push that Ball Deep just to see if we can’t get lucky get a catch or get a pass
Interference something like that that’s where you get in trouble the weakness of Baltimore’s defense is they don’t defend the Run well um they’ll give up like five six yards a Carry On The Run and I think the Texans need to try to run the
Ball I think they need to try it um I don’t know I don’t I don’t see a Way Houston wins this game unless Lamar totally craps himself that’s the only chance I see te the Texans winning this game I this’s a different animal than the Browns are like the yes like the
Browns def espe on the road there’s no jo there’s no Flo to throw the ball to you three times or whatever it was and especially multiples of them pick sixes also shout out Todd monin now the only good thing for the T the good thing for
The Texans is that you already lost to the Ravens so you’ve seen them so you know what you did wrong you know what doesn’t work so you do have a chance to but the Ravens both offensively and defensively are multiple yes right so I I’m pretty sure that they push the ball
Down the field the first time against against the Texans they can just run rpos just as well they can run the ball as well they can hit you with the short passes Lamar Jackson is in full control of that offense and defensively what a rookie quarterback as great as I think
CJ St is they’ll throw some coverages at him that he may not be comfortable with oh they got they messed up py when they played us like we we were I mean they messed him up disguising things um in the secondary and how how they hide guys
Back there and it’s no they’re Baltimore is freaking really really good and you can say you got to get pressure on Lamar like that’s the problem is you get pressure and he is so fast he runs away from all of it like I never see the Ravens snap the
Ball Lamar drop back three to five step drop and then throw it like it never happens it is always drop back okay nothing’s open I’m going to roll somewhere and then boom somebody’s open and I get it to all right let’s look at uh where else
Are we going B at San Francisco you want to do that one oh we don’t matter Green Bay ners Green Bay 49ers Saturday night 7 o’clock on FOX we’ve won four straight in the playoffs against the Packers we’re five and four all time against them this will be the 10th playoff
Meeting between the two teams ners by 9 and a half which is the most all time it’s a big number but what are the trends like fish on that I think we’re scoring I and I won’t be surprised of Green Bay scores either well over looks
Good Roser you’re right five of the last seven for San Francisco have gone over 10 of their last 14 at home have gone over as well Green Bay seven of their last eight have gone over their last six on the road have gone over and head-to-head 10 of the last 14 meetings
Have gone over including six of the last eight at San Francisco so it’s a big number at 50 and a half but over seems to be the number yeah it it it definitely does um yeah we’ve been really good at home the only thing to watch out for is so
Rain was originally in the forecast rain and wind like heavy wind and now it’s not in the forecast but obviously that can change so um that’s something to to monitor with it Green Bay’s defense is not good like their defense was ranked 27th this season like so their defense is not good
Um have they found something maybe like I don’t know um but we typically score and score at home so I mean I think we’ll score it’s just a matter of if our defense is good I think you you can’t they’ve got to find a way to block ran
Gary and I expect that they they will be able to the 49ers do um because we’ve seen in that Ravens game that you brought up that the 49ers played if you can get pressure to py he’s completely different ran Gary does a good job coming up the middle getting pressure on
You if you can keep py upright prevent that from happening he’s just going to Feast it’s just way too many weapons man so you have to disguise like your pressure on him because one of the the thing that the Ravens did is that they got pressure with everybody like
Everybody except for who Trent Williams was blocking because he’s awesome but he went out of the game early with an injury um so you got to get pressure with everybody that’s what the Ravens did because if P know knows where the pressure is coming from he’s really good
I mean he led the league in passer rating uh this year against pressure so when he knows where it’s coming from he’s very good at picking up on it that’s what I said about the Ravens is that they disguise so many things that it’s it it throws you off
Um like I said my worries have always been the right side of our offensive line and that we’re Front Runners and I think Green Bay did a great job last week Dallas is the same way that Green Bay jumped out on them early and it they
Took the they won the coin toss and asked for the ball Cowboys are a totally different team when they have to play from behind the 49ers are the exact same way like you like we play so much better when we have that lead so also don’t you
Think like it’s Matt laflor now we’re in this like era where all these coaches are all part of the same tree he’s a Shanahan guy yeah they all know each other they all know the game plan and everything else and now it’s just like can you out execute the other guy so yep
Shanahan has done really good against his assistants he’s been really good against his assistant former assist Sunday 2:00 uh central time we got Tampa Bay at Detroit I really don’t care about this game but I’ll watch it cuz it’s you know it’s the NFL playoffs but I think I
Think the lions are going to beat him I think so too I think they’ll beat him pretty easy I don’t I don’t think Tampa’s that good I think that game was more about the Eagles or just they were ready to get out of there they were a
Disaster to end that season it started with that 49ers game and then it went to Dallas and then they freaking blew a lead it home to Arizona and then they got killed by the Giants the last week of the Season like they just that I felt
Like that game was more about the Eagles than how the Bucks are good like I think the Lions will win this one pretty EAS the Bucks have won couple in a row here going into this so I don’t know maybe maybe they got something maybe Buck
Bucks have been a good covering team too they’ve covered eight of their last nine on the road uh and they’re nine and three against the spread in their last 12 games but Detroit their last 20 Detroit is 21- seven against the spread their last 28 games W which is
Incredible uh 16- six against the spread at home and 4-1 against the spread their last five so uh Detroit’s been really good and really good home team and the really good covering team and uh Tampa’s been a good covering team but not as much on the road uh head-to-head
Detroit’s covered 11 of the last 15 against the Buccaneers we also get uh Kansas City at Buffalo to end the thing on Sunday bills are two and a half Point favorite at home 46 A2 is your total number fish what are the trends like on this one
Well Buffalo’s won 20 of their last 24 at home uh they’re 20 and four straight up at home and with that being such a low number that trend is in play um a lot of uh under between these two teams as well Kansas City’s been a great team
In January I mean that’s postseason time they’re 11- two their last 13 in January but 11 of their last 14 have gone under um Buffalo six of their last eight at home have gone under head-to-head Kansas City and buffalo five of their last six at Buffalo have gone under the total one
Big number though for Kansas City 154 and one against the spread as an underdog so Kansas City’s been a really good dog although I don’t know how far back that goes because they haven’t been a dog very often the last few years so uh but 154 and one against the spread
Their last 20 as a dog all right well those are the games on the Slate for this weekend and then uh week after that we get the final four and then we get the Super Bowl uh hey we’re going to take one more break we’re going to come

Coming up but fish I wanted to tell you the other day I was doing something with another parent of one of my sons friends and he said hey you you work with Rob fiser right and I said yeah and he goes whatever does he still do the fish
Scales ah how about that the fish scales and I said no he does not what well you didn’t do him this year you kept saying oh they’re coming they’re no you said there’s a rer strike no fish scales there was a rider strike this year they’re back next year though was with
The 12 team playoff they have to be back yeah so they’ll be back next week they’re more relevant than ever I guess you could say yeah that’s true the most Fair what was it what’s the tagline it’s the fairest uh greatest and most humble ranking system in America all right big
Fan of that well speaking of fair great and humble it’s time for our picks this week fish why don’t you lead us off as always all right I’m going to get started I am taking the Texans plus the n and a half uh or nine whatever at the Ravens Texans
4- one against the spread their last five games 11-4 against the spread as an underdog wow they’ve been a great dog so I’m going with the Texans plus the nine I’m taking the ners minus the n and a half San Francisco 13 and three against the spread in the month of January wow
How about that they are good covering team come playoff time I’m also taking the over in that game 50 and a half seven of the last eight for Green Bay have gone over including their last six on the road uh I a lot of over Trends in
That one 10 of 14 at home for the ners have gone over as well both teams can score and what we saw from Green Bay last week I expect a lot of points so over the 50 and a half Lions minus a 6 and a half against the Bucks Lions 10
And4 against a spread as a favorite so when they are favored they have been covering and then the bills minus a 2 and a half against the Chiefs this one hurts my heart picking against the Chiefs but I think the bills are just a better team and I think the home field
Advantage does come in into play Chiefs having to go out on the road for the first time with Patrick Mahomes in postseason so I like Buffalo Buffalo’s won 10 of the last 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs straight up so we’ll go bills Lang let’s get a little chalky
Chalk chalky I love chalk we got the Ravens Texans I’m I think the Ravens are going to win this thing pretty easily I think the Texans storybook uh run here has been fun but Baltimore and Lamar and my guy Todd monin have come up here and they’re
Going to win this thing going away I don’t think it’s going to be a high scoring game so I’m also taking the under on this I think the Ravens probably win this one like 316 something like that but uh I got the Ravens in the minus uh I’ll take the 49ers give the
Points to the Packers talking about storybook runs ining there’s another one get out of here pack we’ve seen it uh I got the Lions and the Bucks I think the Lions win this one pretty easily like we said earlier um if there’s going to be a
Highscore one it might be that one just CU that’s the one you don’t expect to be highsc scoring and Baker Mayfield’s going to pull something out but I I think that the lions are going to win this one by seven to 10 uh and then bills Chiefs I think it’s probably
Pretty even uh but I’m just going to take the bills minus the two and a half because they’re at home and the Chiefs can’t catch the ball CJ TI us to your picks I’m dead inside here they go go I will take the tech Packers plus 9 and2 bucks plus 6
And2 Chiefs plus 2 you just went all underdogs bucks anti bucks under 40 bucks lines under 48 and a half I don’t I’m I’m n so you put no thought into any of these you just I’m just G to the underdog if you if you want the thought
I think that the Texans with CJ Stout Nico Collins and that run game can keep the the Ravens on their heels a bit n and a half points in the in the division round is a lot of points a l and I think that while the Ravens
Are in control of that game I could see it a late score late field goal late touchdown knocking it from like a a 13 14o game to I don’t know 11 seveno game something like that uh Packers 49ers again I think that’s a big number one
And I’m not sure the right side of that offensive line Rosa which you brought up is good enough to keep perie clean enough to you know make a bunch of throws right think they win again another one where they’re in control but again a late score by Jordan loving that
Offense and there you could take advantage of the 49ers defense this isn’t the 49ers defense def it’s not as good and we saw the the Packers take advantage of the Cowboys the thought on the bucks plus the 6 and a half is the lons expended so much emotional energy in the last game
That they might not be able to match what the Bucks have as well also the Bucks do have two really good receivers in Godwin and Evans Baker Mayfield is a capable quarterback I could see this one going the line’s way but being a three-point game a late field goal or
Something like that late touchdown to get Lions uh a win but not cover I will take the Chiefs because until the Bills beat the Chiefs I don’t think they can do it I don’t care if this game is played on the moon I want to see them do
It before I start picking them and that defense is good Patrick Mahomes is still the quarterback sure the receivers can’t catch but all you need is two and we talked about that uh some earlier and I will take bucks and lions under under because I think that defensively these
Two teams will be able to hold cuz they’re they’re not doesn’t want to score points they’re not diverse in what they do offensively they can do one maybe two different things if you’re good enough to take that away I think BS and Campbell’s coaching staffs are good
Enough to take away what you initially want to do offensively I’m not sure if the other team can adjust in such a way to warrant theine being 48 and half that’s my thinking plus the game’s in Detroit it’s going to be cold it’s going to be it’s outside oh it’s inside it’s
Inside just so somebody asked Todd BS at his press conference someone asked Todd BS how he was going to prepare for the Detroit it’s a dome so that that’s my thinking I don’t know that the Lions have only been playing in a dome for the
Last 50 60 years anyway anyway you go my picks all right we’re gonna go the only one I went with here is uh we’re gonna go with the Ravens minus the nine n it’s nine now Pi look like they’re in code when they po they really do it’s Morse
Code uh we’re going to take the 49ers team total over 27 and a half there was not a set team total on it there were just a bunch of alt numbers on it when I looked at it and at 27 and a half I was like okay I feel like these are pretty
Good odds like and they score at home uh CJ strout over the 0.5 interceptions Road starting the playoffs January Baltimore Maryland it’s going to be cold uh I think he’ll throw a pick and then these two dudes throw picks like they throw picks all the they’ve thrown picks
All year so we’ll go over the 0.5 picks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes both to throw a pick CJ stra doesn’t though he of all the quarterbacks he you could have grabbed gol you could have grabbed um Mayfield like I think you should switch that yeah get stoud out of there
Pick pick golf or B Mayfield on there I’m sticking with oh sticking with it I’ve already got the Ravens covering this game I like the Baltimore Ravens to win this game big like 34 to 13 okay yeah I like the Ravens big I think this is the year Lamar He
He’ll get there he’ll get to the Super Bowl this hey does anybody have any free picks and he’ll win unless I got one I do go ahead F I got I got free picks all right go fish all right uh I got two uh number one my big play my play of the
Day uh we’re going Gonzaga minus the 12 at pepperd oh be careful you picked them last week and they lost well that’s true that is true yeah although that was although that was just a mild play last week where I lost them yeah my big play
Won last week uh and then my secondary play today it’s an NHL parlay two teamer we’re going with Buffalo over Chicago and Tampa over Minnesota so Buffalo Tampa parlay in the NHL Gonzaga minus 12 against Pepperdine on the hardwood I like it I got a pick I got a game
There’s not a line for yet Georgia is playing basketball against Kentucky at Kentucky on Saturday and I saw one line it was like Kentucky by nine something like kuy’s ranked number eight Georgia’s unranked Georgia’s really good this year I think they’re 13 and four 14 and three something like that they beat should
Have beaten Tennessee last week they almost beat Tennessee last weekend they beat a ranked South Carolina team at South Carolina last on uh Tuesday night Wednesday night so uh I’m going to take the dogs in this one I don’t know what the line’s going to end up being the
Numbers going like the dogs I like the do they can play Team by the way the best scorer on the Georgia Bulldogs this year the best three-point shooter is jabri Abdul Rahim son of Shar anyway who else got free picks I’ll go I got a anti-directional parlay for
