Back for NFL 2026

The Dork and Dude do an episode just to get the feel for NFL 2026. We talk win totals, division winners and super bowl odds. Next week we start with fantasy.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:45

And I'm the dork, and that's our retro music. Yeah, it is. That's our first year one.

SPEAKER_02 0:51

That's our first theme song.

SPEAKER_03 0:52

Oh, yeah. All right. It's all good. Okay. We just wanted to uh, you know, jump in before training camp here. It should be out in what, a week or two?

SPEAKER_02 1:02

Training camp?

SPEAKER_03 1:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03

Uh middle of July.

SPEAKER_03 1:06

It is middle of July. It's Bastial Day, dude.

SPEAKER_02 1:10

Yeah. Uh okay. A week or two, yeah. A week or two, okay. This is dead time right now, Doris.

SPEAKER_03 1:17

This is dead time, but we wanted to warm up, get get to have a shakedown, get some of the glitches out. Definitely. So we're gonna get into uh you know, everything's kind of done. The teams are what they are. There might be a big deal, but who knows?

SPEAKER_02 1:29

Uh maybe a training camp injury.

SPEAKER_03 1:31

A training, definitely a training camp injury, and some dude will have showed up fat and out of shape, and you know, you'll hear all about that. Some dude'll get arrested, and you know that's all to happen, but that's all hard to predict.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

We'll let the clowns the clowns cover that.

SPEAKER_03 1:47

The clowns sort themselves out, yeah. Um, so what I wanted to do, uh, you know, it again focus we'll get to fantasy next week. Yep. But uh right now I want to focus on season bets and what we like, what teams we like, maybe what teams we don't like.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

I have already got a lot down, Dork.

SPEAKER_03 2:07

You do, you do, and um we already have some bets, side bets here.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

Yeah, yeah. Uh refresh our memories.

SPEAKER_03 2:14

Okay, um, Dork and Dude. I have on the New York Giants, I'm under seven and a half, you're over seven and a half. Okay. On Atlanta, Dirty Bird. I'm over six and a half, you're under six and a half. In Carolina, I'm under seven and a half, you're over seven and a half. I like it. So well, I do too. Those are those are good solid bets. Um okay, and but anyways, I wanted to start by five overs I really like, and five unders I I like as well.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 2:50

And um first with uh the overs, um, I think the obvious one, it just stands out like a sore thumb. And that would be Denver. The guns under nine and a half.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

Uh I mean, are you kidding me? Uh I uh that was that was the first bet I made this offseason.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

I remember that. And that that's I just don't get it.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

I don't either. Uh I guess Vegas thinks the Chargers are gonna be better, the Chiefs will be back. Uh you know, possible. I don't get it. Uh I'm thinking I think they minimum they go 10 and 7.

SPEAKER_03 3:30

Yes. I'm with you on that one, Barbara. I mean, that's one of the most talented teams in the league. Best defense. Best defense quarterback. Right there with Houston. Young quarterback, young, I would call him a usable quarterback, even though he could stand to improve.

SPEAKER_02 3:45

Well, that's another thing, too, is they're worried about uh next coming back from the ankle injury.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

Oh boy, nine and a half. I'm sorry, that team won. They should have won the AFC last year, if not for that. I hear you. Uh my next one is Seattle. Okay. They were they were at nine and a half when I made this list last week. Uh-huh. They did jump up to ten and a half. Okay. I still like them. I mean, they're the defending champs. They're one of the younger teams in the league. I hear you. That their coach obviously knows what he's doing. I I think they could win 11 easily and maybe more. Only, and this is a caveat with Denver, too. It is a tough division.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

It is. But uh that is disrespectful to the Super Bowl champ.

SPEAKER_03 4:30

Yeah, I think so. I think so.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

I agree with that. I haven't bet it uh uh uh but I agree.

SPEAKER_03 4:37

Uh uh one more I like.

SPEAKER_02 4:39

Uh I could also see you know a scenario where uh the rookie running back price doesn't pan out. Uh Donald leads the league in turnovers again. I could see that. Uh and uh the defense uh drops off a little bit, and and oh you never know. Maybe finish 10 and 10.

SPEAKER_03 5:00

I mean, it's a very competitive league, and if they drop off just a little, they may be out of the playoffs. You never know. So um, yeah, but I just see them I just think ten and a half is too low.

SPEAKER_02 5:11

Yeah, uh I agree, but I'm not gonna put any money on it.

SPEAKER_03 5:14

Another ten and a half of my boys I think is way too low is uh the Eagles, Philadelphia. Bet them. I um I just see them as the biggest contender to the Rams and Seahawks in the NFC. I agree. I don't see I mean a team might burst out of the north, but I I couldn't tell you who. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

Every year they're solid, you can book them for 11 wins.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

You can book them, and um it's like they might be on an every other year thing in the Super Bowl. Sure. And I've seen teams do that before, and uh I they're a smart organization, I expect them to get it fixed. Um they had a distraction in AJ, they got rid of them.

SPEAKER_02 5:57

I agree. They're a solid organization, they draft as well as anybody.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

And they're one of the youngest teams in the league, too.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

They are so um and they're in a division where uh I'm not high on the commanders. Uh they're one of the oldest fucking teams. People in the league.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

Uh and uh uh Dan Quinn, I think, is circling the drain.

SPEAKER_03 6:17

I I gather I think that too, yeah. And I'm not wild about the Giants or Cowboys either.

SPEAKER_02 6:23

I like I like the Giants to improve. Uh the Cowboys I think will make the playoffs.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

They might, but I'm they might rabbit. I'm a little uh we'll see on the Cowboys. Uh the other one, Cleveland, five and a half over.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

Uh uh let me see my win totals here. Five and a half?

SPEAKER_03 6:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:41

Uh I imagine you didn't write the juice down as usual. I I didn't. Could you start doing that, man?

SPEAKER_03 6:48

I I can, but this is just do I think are they gonna win more of the game? What okay.

SPEAKER_02 6:55

Um uh I got them. Uh I said, screw it, they're better than five and a half. Uh I bumped them up to uh seven uh over seven and a half at plus one seventy.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

I like it. I like it.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

Um I think they can go eight and eight and nine.

SPEAKER_03 7:12

They have one of the best defense in the league, defenses in the league, even without Garrett.

SPEAKER_02 7:17

Yep, they got a good offensive line.

SPEAKER_03 7:19

They have assembled some good weapons, and it's just a matter of getting some quarterback play.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Yep, they had a good draft.

SPEAKER_03 7:27

I think their quarterback play will be improved.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

I agree. Couldn't get any worse.

SPEAKER_03 7:32

Yeah, exactly. Um, so I think, and I don't think the AFC North is that good.

SPEAKER_02 7:39

I agree. Uh, with my luck, though, I I bet them over seven and a half, but they'll go seven and ten.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

We'll see, but this is five and a half.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

I shouldn't say that. I had I have good luck, Dor.

SPEAKER_03 7:49

You do have good luck. Uh, in the fifth is uh another one of your teams, and I don't see their hat there, and I don't know what's going on, but it's the Saints.

SPEAKER_02 7:58

Uh I don't have a Saints hat.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

Seven and a half. I think they're gonna win that division, dude.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Uh I love it. I uh that was like the second bet I made. I don't have a Saints hat uh because I have a polo.

SPEAKER_03 8:11

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 8:12

That's right. I remember that. Yeah. Uh which I'll be wearing uh through the course of the season from time to time.

SPEAKER_03 8:18

Okay, the five unders.

SPEAKER_02 8:21

Okay, well let me give you my win total over that I bet. Yeah, yeah. Uh since we're on win totals. This is what I bet. I won't tell you how much, but okay, I got I got my Titans over six and a half at minus one ten. I got the Broncos over nine and a half at minus one ten. I got the Bengals over nine and a half at minus one fifteen. I got the Saints over seven and a half at minus one ten. Vikings over eight and a half at plus one fifteen. Hell, they won nine games with the worst quarterback playing the league last year. They did. Uh I love that bet. Giants over seven and a half. Well, we disagree on that one. I got them at minus one oh five. I got the Panthers over seven and a half at uh plus one fifteen. I got the Jags over nine and a half at even money. Hell, they won 12 games last year. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:16

It was at 13. I like that too. I like Cone as a coach. I'm not Hell yeah. I'm not wild about their draft. Longer term thing.

SPEAKER_02 9:28

They botched the draft the last two years, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_03 9:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:31

But uh they've they're loaded talent-wise.

SPEAKER_03 9:34

That division, that division is kind of funky. They could go either way, I think. Uh-huh. That any team in that division.

SPEAKER_02 9:41

As we talked about, I took the Eagles over 10.5 at at plus one twenty-five, which is is almost like stealing. I agree. Uh and I got the Browns over seven and a half at plus one seventy, like I mentioned. I like that. I I we'll talk talk a little later about the Browns more. Okay. And then I got the Bills at over 11.5 at plus one fifty-five. Uh, I could have got them at ten and a half, uh, but uh I said, fuck it, they're gonna win twelve games, I'm gonna get the plus one fifty-five money, baby.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

You know what I think with the coaching change? I think it's gonna go one way or another. Yeah, it could be. I think it could. Brady could look like a damn genius. Right. And they win 12, 13 games, sure, which they do almost every year anyway. And um, or they're gonna miss McDermott's steady, uh, you know, steady helmsmanship.

SPEAKER_02 10:37

I think Brady just doesn't have to fuck up.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Yeah. But um I I do like that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:44

Uh so that's that's the overs I got.

SPEAKER_03 10:47

Okay, here are my uh the uh the five unders I like. Go, Dork. Cincinnati, ten and a half. Oh, let's bet that. I just look at the talent and I I am just not wild about that team. Let's let's do a side bet. Let's do a side bet.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

I'm all over Cincinnati, and that'll come up later in the discussion.

SPEAKER_03 11:06

Okay, ten dollars. Yep. Dork has under ten and a half.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

And I got dude is over. You got it. Ten and a half. Let's do it, dude. You got it. It's good to get a side bet in right away.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

Yeah, it is. And the season's gonna be honest before we know it, Dork.

SPEAKER_03 11:26

I know. So I better save my money. Yeah, you better. Another one. Uh Washington, under seven and a half. Well, I I like that. Uh they're the oldest team again.

SPEAKER_02 11:38

I I bet them at under six and a half at plus one seventy.

SPEAKER_03 11:41

Yeah. Only concern for me is uh Daniels coming back and you know, just being a stud again.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

Like he was I don't know. I think he might be uh injury prone. He might be, yeah. And I mean the dude wasn't the dude's as skinny as me.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

Yeah. So um and they're the like we said, they're the oldest team again, and their talent just ain't that great.

SPEAKER_02 12:05

Uh uh their draft, I don't know. Uh that's uh long term. Dan Quinn might not even be there to see the cats he drafted this year and play uh their second season. Because I think if they end up, well, I uh I bet them under six and a half. I'm I'm expecting to go uh like six and uh uh whatever that works out, to Dork 11.

SPEAKER_03 12:32

6 and 11. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:33

Or 6'10 and they go six and eleven, he's gone.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

Yep. Um Baltimore under 11 and a half.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

I I wanted to bet that I'm just not seeing it with that team. I'm on the fence. I mean, they're still talented, but last year might have been the start of the decline.

SPEAKER_03 12:50

That uh Lamar isn't running as much.

SPEAKER_02 12:53

He got hurt again last year. Yeah, he just Henry a year older. I'm not wide the defense is they've got one wide receiver, Zay Flowers.

SPEAKER_03 13:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Uh uh the defense was uh uh bottom ten last year. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 13:09

Uh so I I like that. Um, Tennessee, six and a half. Under? Yes. Let's bet it. Let's bet. Let's do it, man. I I've already bet them over. I mean, uh, this one worries me, but um I trust Salah.

SPEAKER_02 13:26

Cam Ward's second year. Uh they they uh were awesome in free agency. They drafted well.

SPEAKER_03 13:34

All true.

SPEAKER_02 13:35

Uh I'm not as big a Sala fan. Watch what he does with that defense. Look what he did with the Niners last year. They were a fucking walking mash unit.

SPEAKER_03 13:45

Yeah, but he was with the DC. Look what he did with the Jets the three years before that.

SPEAKER_02 13:49

It's the fucking Jets. Uh, you could take fucking Linzel Vince Lombardi and throw him on the Jets and he'd lose.

SPEAKER_03 13:57

But he's dead, Jim.

SPEAKER_02 13:58

Uh uh. But you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 14:00

Yeah, I know what you're saying.

SPEAKER_02 14:01

It's a fucked up organization.

SPEAKER_03 14:03

They they must have sold their soul to win that third Super Bowl, you know, and now they're paying for it.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

Uh uh Salo was hungry for a head coaching position, and sometimes those guys they go to the wrong team.

SPEAKER_03 14:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:17

And it fucks up their career. But he goes back to the Niners and boom, now he's with the Titans, baby.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

Speaking of uh that Super Bowl, do you know that's the only Super Bowl that, at least under the current rules, will never happen again? How's that? Uh, because it's the Colts and the Jets, and they're both in the AFC. I gotcha. After the merger, the Colts, I believe Colts, Steelers, and Browns move to the AFC. Right. Okay, finally, the fifth one is the Giants, and we've already bet that. Yeah, we have. I just don't think they're all that good.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

Uh, I trust Harbaugh. Uh uh, they've got some talented players.

SPEAKER_03 14:59

They do.

SPEAKER_02 15:00

Um their defense towards the end of second half of last season was looking better. Uh thing firm up the offensive line, and Jackson Dark can take the step. Uh uh, they could win nine, ten games.

SPEAKER_03 15:14

They could, and that isn't, I think that is an easy division.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

And what I like about Harbaugh is if it gets down uh to crunch time uh in close games and stuff, he's not one of these coaches usually that vapor locks and uh uh uh makes a wrong decision to cost him in a close game and shit. So he'll squeeze he'll squeeze out two wins just on his coaching. At least that's my opinion, Dory.

SPEAKER_03 15:42

That's that's a good opinion. Yeah, it is. Um how about your Super Bowl bets?

SPEAKER_02 15:49

Wait, I get a couple more win total unders that we didn't talk about. Uh I've got the Falcons under six and a half, uh, your dirty birds.

SPEAKER_03 15:58

You know, I've kind of taken them on as uh as an Put them on your logo instead of instead of the professor. No, I don't think it's the professor now. I think it's it's either Bazooka Joe, Rockin' Randall, or oh, I know who it is. It's from the a poster from the movie Gus a Field Goal Kicking V.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Oh, that's right, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:20

It's Don Knott's, I think.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

I don't know how far that's gonna carry you, Doric. I don't know. Okay, and then I I got the Patriots under nine and a half at plus one twenty. The number was uh ten and a half, but I said, fuck it, I'm gonna juice it.

SPEAKER_03 16:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:36

Uh Chargers under nine and a half. Uh I'm not impressed with them.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:41

Uh I got them at plus one ten. And then I got the Steelers under uh I juiced them too. Uh I got them under seven and a half uh at plus one thirty. I think they're gonna be a fucking disaster.

SPEAKER_03 16:54

I'm a little I'm I kind of like the Steelers.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

In fact, um with fucking Aaron Rodgers.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

Karen? Aaron, you know, he's an all-time great. He's washed. He's not what he was, but he if he can game manage.

SPEAKER_02 17:11

I think in most statistics, he was like quarterback twenty-three last year. Okay. Uh where's that gonna get you? Who knows? Uh we do know. Okay, well, those guys get it right.

SPEAKER_03 19:23

If um gun to my head, I had to pick one team to bet on, this is who I'd take.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:31

And it has to do as much with value as anything. That's what it's all about. Yeah, AFC East, I'd just go with Miami at plus four thousand. Because they're the long shot. Forty to one. Forty to one. Yeah. I bet just five bucks, but uh yeah, you might as well go buy a taco. I'm very curious.

SPEAKER_02 19:51

You might as well go buy a taco.

SPEAKER_03 19:53

I'm very curious to see what Malik Willis can do.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

I forgot.

SPEAKER_03 19:57

Huh?

SPEAKER_02 19:57

I said you might as well buy a five dollar taco, but I forgot you don't eat tacos.

SPEAKER_03 20:01

I do eat tacos, but they gotta be bad. Yeah. That's not a taco. Well, you know, don't be a taco Nazi, dude.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

No tacos for you. No, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:18

I'm just telling you, if they told me to make a bet on this, that's the team I'd bet.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

Uh okay.

SPEAKER_03 20:24

Uh I can't see it, but uh I think it was both Pittsburgh plus 510 and Cleveland plus 2100. Just because I don't think much of Baltimore or Cincinnati. Okay, I'm all over Cincinnati, so I don't like that. Okay. AFC South. And again, if I had to make a bet, I know I had them on the under, but Tennessee plus 800. My boys! Again, I I think any team could win that division.

SPEAKER_02 21:01

Yeah, uh, I've got, uh since you just mentioned them, I've got the Titans to win the AFC South at plus 750. Okay, they're up to 800 now. Yeah, I missed the boat a little bit, but uh that was one of my early bets, too, man. I'm I'm buying in on Sala.

SPEAKER_03 21:16

AFC West, uh Denver plus 225. I mean, come on, they're the third favorite. I got them at plus two fifteen. Okay. Uh NFC East. I don't like any of the teams other than Philly there, and they're plus 115, so I'll take that.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

I hear you. I haven't betted, but I but that's a good bet.

SPEAKER_03 21:36

NFC North, Minnesota plus 510. Got them. Again, I I think all I see all four is any team could win. Yep. Detroit seems to be getting a lot of love from the bookies, and I can kind of see that.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

Right. Uh I got I got Minnesota plus 550.

SPEAKER_03 21:53

And I still, he's had a lot of success, but I still am waiting for Dan Campbell to kind of cramp. And burned for some reason.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Uh uh the fire started at the end of last season when he started play calling.

SPEAKER_03 22:08

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 22:09

Uh so he's gonna crash and burn this year. In the south? And you know what? Uh, the only thing that'll keep him from crashing and burning uh and self-destructing uh because he's due is the fact he's got a hell of a lot of talent.

SPEAKER_03 22:24

He does. He does.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

So I I'm not betting against or for Detroit because they could go uh sideways.

SPEAKER_03 22:31

I agree. They might win 15 games like two years ago. They might they might win six and have it all circled a drain. Yeah, and Campbell gets axed. Um, in the South, my guys, the Dirty Birds, Atlanta, plus 425. Hate it. I could again, I could see any team winning that division.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

They're clowns.

SPEAKER_03 22:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

Uh uh every year, well, they've got probably the fifth worst record over the last four years.

SPEAKER_03 23:03

Well, they got a new coach. They've really had some bad coaches in there the last two. Quarterback problem. Well, they got Tua. And they got Penix. And they got Penix.

SPEAKER_02 23:13

Yeah. Uh I'm I'm not impressed with either one. I think Tua might be washed.

SPEAKER_03 23:18

We'll see. He's had questions. I I think if he's gonna succeed, being in a dome in the south is the best place for him to do it. Sure. Um, that's that's my thoughts on Tua. And in the West, um what bet do I like the best? The Niners at plus 305. I like that bet. Because I I saw we had talked about this last week. The Cardinals are plus 10,000 or 100 to 1 just to win the division.

SPEAKER_02 23:53

No, it it it can't be that high. It is.

SPEAKER_03 23:56

Go check DraftKings. Okay. Just to win that division. I thought they were like 40 to 1. I've never seen that before. I thought they were 30 or 40 to 1. Check it out when you get a chance.

SPEAKER_02 24:07

I think you got it wrong, Dork, but I I don't. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 24:10

I I I I I might throw just a dollar on them just to say I called it.

SPEAKER_02 24:15

I hear you.

SPEAKER_03 24:16

But um, I've never seen that. And in the division, it usually tops out at 20 or 25.

SPEAKER_02 24:21

That's the toughest division in football.

SPEAKER_03 24:23

It is. You got you got three teams that you if someone told you at the end of the season those will be the three best teams in most power ratings, no one would be surprised. That's for damn sure. So, yeah. And I guess that's why Arizona's 100 to 1 to win the division. Right.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

I like the I like the Niners bet.

SPEAKER_03 24:46

Okay. So do you have any div you did you mention them or uh uh any you didn't mention you like?

SPEAKER_02 24:55

The AFC South, uh the division winners? Yeah. Uh I've covered them all. Okay. Okay. Uh uh it's Broncos, Panthers, Titans, Vikings for me, is what I bet.

SPEAKER_03 25:06

Okay, and I I didn't see it, but um what did what what are your thoughts on, and this was when I was just looking at, you know, my model.

SPEAKER_02 25:17

Sure. I I finished my model last night.

SPEAKER_03 25:19

What do you think about a Philadelphia-Kansas City Super Bowl, a rematch of two years ago?

SPEAKER_02 25:24

It could happen. Uh you could probably get that uh they're both 16 to 1. You could probably get that as a prop bet uh uh 150 to 1.

SPEAKER_03 25:32

I think I'll do that. Okay, uh so Not that I'm pulling for it, believe me.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

I hear you. Uh you want me to give you my playoff parlays, I bet?

SPEAKER_03 25:43

I'd love to hear them, dude.

SPEAKER_02 25:46

I feel better about some than others. But uh you that's the way to get good odds, throw three teams together. Okay, I got the Titans, Panthers, and Vikings to make the playoffs at 31-1. Titans, Panthers, Vikings.

SPEAKER_03 26:05

Why not? Uh Panthers. I really can't argue against any of them. They're teams in transition. Sure. I could find reasons to like them and reasons to dislike them. You hate the Panthers. But it's not like you're saying Miami, Arizona, and the Jets to all make the playoffs. There you go. These uh just to be just to be way out there. Carolina made it the playoffs last year. All three teams have a path to the playoffs. So yeah, I like it.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

Panthers made it last year, Vikings the year before. Uh, so I like that. Uh I got the Saints, the Jags, and the Giants to make the playoffs at 19-1.

SPEAKER_03 26:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

I've got uh the Bengals, Jags, and Vikings at plus 720.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 26:52

And then I've got the Patriots, the Lions, and the Seahawks to miss the playoffs at 18 to 1.

SPEAKER_03 27:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:02

And I've got the Chargers, Packers, and Chiefs to miss the playoffs at 15 to 1.

unknown 27:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:10

Again, I I could those are all teams that I I I'm calling the calling it right now, Dork. Go either way, but you're really on the Trevor bandwagon.

SPEAKER_02 27:19

I'm uh I'm not done with Trevor either.

SPEAKER_03 27:21

Oh, oh man.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

I hear it. What was I gonna say? Uh what was he gonna do here? Uh oh, here's what I was gonna do. Hang on, dude.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

Uh you did a boss of that.

SPEAKER_02 27:32

Uh here's what's gonna happen to the Chiefs, because they're gonna finish third in their fucking division. They're gonna get gunned down. Uh, okay, so uh where what where was I, Dork? What where were what were we doing?

SPEAKER_03 27:46

You were just talking about your playoff parlays.

SPEAKER_02 27:49

Oh yeah. My playoff parlays. Uh where were okay. That's them. That's all I got.

SPEAKER_03 27:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:58

I've got one, two, three, four, five parlays.

SPEAKER_03 28:03

Okay. Can I read you some MVP bets? I don't know if I'm gonna bet them, but they caught my eye.

SPEAKER_02 28:09

I'll show I'll tell you what I've already bet.

SPEAKER_03 28:11

When I was looking at it. Okay. Okay. Jalen Hurts, 28 to 1. I like it.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

Uh except for the fact that he doesn't put up stats.

SPEAKER_03 28:20

He doesn't, yeah. And so And he is running less.

SPEAKER_02 28:23

You'd have to win, they'd have to win like 14 fucking games to 14 games.

SPEAKER_03 28:27

He'd have to get a lot of rushing yards and touchdowns and more passing yards than you've ever got. So that's probably Thanks, dude. You've just talked me out of that.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

Well, and somebody else uh who's uh uh uh more of a publicity cat would win it.

SPEAKER_03 28:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:44

And um they're not gonna give it to Jalen Hurts if uh Josh Allen's close or dude.

SPEAKER_03 28:50

This is why we employ critical thinking skills and ask questions.

SPEAKER_02 28:53

That's it, man.

SPEAKER_03 28:54

Damn right.

SPEAKER_02 28:55

Yeah, I'm glad I got you off that bat. Okay. But I mean a 28 to 1, five bucks, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_03 29:01

Yeah. How about Jared Goff, 35 to 1?

SPEAKER_02 29:04

Uh I saw that when I was betting it. Uh he's another non-glamour guy.

SPEAKER_03 29:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:11

Uh that doesn't toot his own horn, so he probably's out of it. So, but so I was um he didn't win it when they won 15 games.

SPEAKER_03 29:22

Yeah. Next week we're gonna probably do quarterbacks. Mm-hmm. You know, for fantasy. Yep. And I I've been looking at him. Jared Goff is good for like 4,500 yards and 35 touchdowns. Well, or yeah. Uh uh Why is he so low in these rankings?

SPEAKER_02 29:39

I don't know about 35 touchdowns, but uh in our league scoring, I I think he he was in the top ten.

SPEAKER_03 29:44

Yeah. Anyways, um, okay, these are the then we get to the ones that are a little out there. Daniel Jones plus 7,500.

SPEAKER_02 29:55

For MVP? Yeah. You mean 70, 70, okay.

SPEAKER_03 29:59

Oh 7500, yeah. Yeah. 75 to 1.

SPEAKER_02 30:04

Don't like it coming off an Achilles. That's true. That's true.

SPEAKER_03 30:09

Uh that's never good.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

He did play really well.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

As someone coming off an Achilles.

SPEAKER_02 30:14

Uh yeah. Yeah, you you know all about that.

SPEAKER_03 30:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:18

Uh I hate it.

SPEAKER_03 30:19

Okay. Um Malik Willis, 100 to 1.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

With Miami?

SPEAKER_03 30:28

Yeah. You know, those are probably not high enough odds. Uh no, he should be 300 to 1. And speaking of 300 to 1, that's what Tua is.

SPEAKER_02 30:37

Okay. Is that worth a dollar? He's 300 to 1. Yeah. Uh yeah, I'd throw a buck. Hell yeah, I'd throw a buck in a heartbeat on that. Okay. Let me tell you what I got, Doric? Yeah. Uh I got Kyler Murray, 40 to 1. Yeah, yeah, I saw that one. That's and then I've got uh my boy. Trev uh Herbert, you're not my boy. I I got my boy Farah uh at 22 to 1.

SPEAKER_03 31:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

And you know, I I was looking at Farah played almost like an MVP last year.

unknown 31:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

I was looking at Herbert's numbers, and he he is what he is. I don't know what happened. He he started off like he was gonna be another merino. He's flatlined. And he's flatlined, and it's sad. It is. I don't get it either. We love our Oregon boys, you know.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

We love them, but uh that's why I'm I'm I'm betting the Chargers under. Yeah. Uh and he gets hurt. Uh even at the end of last season, uh uh uh he fucked up his hand going into the playoffs.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:45

You know, he's kind of injury prone. Yep. Which is weird because he's a big dude.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

He's a big dude. He's he's he can run, he's he's he's just got a lot of skills.

SPEAKER_02 31:59

I don't know what it is. There's something about that team that it's an intangible. Uh every year, the top uh for the last four or five years, the talk has been about how the whole team's injury prone.

SPEAKER_03 32:10

Yeah. And they are. And I I know they're not in San Diego anymore. Right. But there is just something about San Diego. I mean, the LA Clippers started in well, they actually started in Buffalo, but they moved to San Diego. Right. And um the San Diego Padres, they've been around over 50 years and never won a championship. Yep. San Diego Chargers, I think they may have won in the AFC.

SPEAKER_02 32:39

They went to a Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_03 32:41

They went to a they lost to the Niners in one, and that may have been it.

SPEAKER_02 32:48

That was it.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Yeah. But they had the Fouts era. Yep. Oh, you know that I went to uh The John Hadel era?

SPEAKER_02 32:56

Yes. That's old school.

SPEAKER_03 32:58

That's AFL there, I think. Yeah, it is. I went to a uh a concert in Sisters, uh-huh. Keb Moe, if you've heard of him. I have I've seen him advertised. Good, good, real good blues singer. Right. And um it was a fundraiser for Sisters School District. Okay. Master of ceremonies, Dan Fouts. Like it. You know, he just comes out and says, Hi, I'm Dan Dan Fouts, and you know, we know he lives in Sisters. Sure. But uh I guess him and his wife are very active in the community. Yeah. And uh just good people. Sure. So there you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:33

Uh I uh met Dan Fouts on the golf course in Sun River in Sun River when I was working.

SPEAKER_03 33:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:39

Yeah, he used to like to play the North Course.

SPEAKER_03 33:42

Okay. Now called the Woodlands. You meet a lot of celebs on the golf course in your life. Yeah, Marcus Allen, too. Clinice.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 33:54

Doesn't get much bigger than that.

SPEAKER_02 33:55

Yeah, but Eastwood was in a tournament, uh uh the uh Bing Crosby uh Pro Am. Crosby Pro Am, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I was a spectator, and my dad and I got there fairly early in the morning, and it was foggy as hell. And I think we went like straight to the second tee to watch people teeing off because when we got to the first tee, the for uh group had left or something. Yeah. And anyway, uh and uh Clint's there uh teeing off, and there's nobody around, it's just me and my dad uh uh and the the golfers, yeah, and there's no security back in those days.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:35

So uh Clint Eastwood hits his uh ball and shit and starts walking down the fairway. I said, fuck it. I started walking alongside him on the fairway and said, uh, how's it going today, Mr. Uh Eastwood? And he and he says something like, I could uh hit that T-shot a little better or something. And I said, Well, I just want to say hi and I've appreciated your movies over the years and shit.

SPEAKER_03 34:54

And that was uh Yeah, that's the way to do it.

SPEAKER_02 34:56

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

Now you'd be even you'd be tackled before you got near the fairway. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:05

And if and plus, if Clint East was out there today, uh it might be bad for him because he might have a heart attack on hole six.

SPEAKER_03 35:13

Clint is getting up.

SPEAKER_02 35:15

What is that cat? Like 90 something? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:17

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:18

Okay, so where were we, Dork?

SPEAKER_03 35:21

Clint Eastwood. No, I believe uh do you want to go uh uh how about rookie of the year? Any any thoughts on that?

SPEAKER_02 35:28

Well, I've already bet my boy Stribling, wide receiver San Francisco, at 55 to 1.

SPEAKER_03 35:33

You know, I saw him, and I'm thinking Evans is gonna get a lot of the love there. Which means he gets single coverage. Yeah, that's true. Um I and I don't doubt him.

SPEAKER_02 35:43

Plus, I don't know how much Evans can stretch the field anymore. He's gonna be more of a goal line guy.

SPEAKER_03 35:47

Goal line possession, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:49

The stribling can stretch the field. Yeah. And that's why they drafted him because they didn't have a guy like that.

SPEAKER_03 35:54

How about Pearshaw or Pearsall's gonna be a bust. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 36:00

He can't stay healthy.

SPEAKER_03 36:01

And Iuk is gonna get traded, I assume.

SPEAKER_02 36:04

He's not on he's not on the team. He's not even to be discussed at this point if you're a bit.

SPEAKER_03 36:08

Is he officially off the team?

SPEAKER_02 36:10

He'll never play a down.

SPEAKER_03 36:12

Okay. What a clown he's been.

SPEAKER_02 36:15

He's he's destroying his career.

SPEAKER_03 36:18

What is it about why I mean, even Brady, and I hate to agree with Tom Brady. Right. He made a comment recently about receivers. Like, what is it with them?

SPEAKER_02 36:27

I hear you.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

Why they just have a tendency to uh go off the rails like that.

SPEAKER_02 36:32

I hear you, but they do.

SPEAKER_03 36:34

You know, I think that's all I got. Okay. Uh oh, rookie, my favorite rookies of the year are the two Penn State running backs, Nicholas Singleton for Tennessee and Kate Tron Allen for Washington. I also like Anthony, Anthony Hill, the linebacker for Tennessee a lot. Okay, I think they're all about 60 to 1. Uh Anthony Hill reminds me of uh Schlesinger Schlesinger from last year.

SPEAKER_02 37:03

I bet Anthony Hill, on some on some writers' advice, yeah, uh, when the numbers came out, I got him 40 to 1.

SPEAKER_03 37:10

You know, for a dude who has the Titans under, I sure am liking a lot of them, aren't I?

SPEAKER_02 37:14

Yeah. Anthony Hill might, if he wins uh defensive rookie of the year, the Titans could win 10 fucking games. They might. I mean I okay, and I've also, even though he's won it once already, yeah, I've got Kevin O'Connell, coach of the year 30 to 1.

SPEAKER_03 37:32

At 30 to 1, why not? That's that that you know, they win that division. Yeah. Kyler has uh career revival under him. How did they get to the NFC championship game? I mean, he he's he's a very good coach. Um 30 to 1, come on.

SPEAKER_02 37:52

That's what I was saying.

SPEAKER_03 37:53

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 37:54

And if the uh and and they don't have any problem about giving it to a guy twice because uh uh uh Stefansky got it.

SPEAKER_03 38:01

Stefansky won it twice. Yeah. And then he's gotten fired. He got fired last year and he's in Atlanta now. Maybe he wins again, dude.

SPEAKER_02 38:07

You never know.

SPEAKER_03 38:07

Maybe he gets his third one.

SPEAKER_02 38:09

If Atlanta wins 12 or 13 games, he might. I will be crowing if that happens. Yeah, I don't know why you're all over Atlanta. Oh, you kind of terrible.

SPEAKER_03 38:18

That became a thing. I I kind of agree, but I'm gonna I'm gonna ride them anyways. Ride them, Dork. Ride those dirty birds. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 38:28

Here we go again. Dork Alex.

SPEAKER_03 38:30

We'll be back next week talking about.

SPEAKER_02 38:32

I got some week one bets I've already made, Dork. Week one? Yeah. Uh I I wasn't gonna do that because it was so far out and shit. Oh, heck. But I watched a few shows and people were talking up trash. Uh and I figured I've already made all my futures bets. I might as well back the teams that I bet the futures on in week one.

SPEAKER_03 38:50

Heck yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:51

So I got the Titans at minus three and a half against the Jets.

SPEAKER_03 38:55

Is that uh No, it's it's gotta be plus three.

SPEAKER_02 39:00

Uh the Jets couldn't be favored against anybody.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

Titans minus three, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:05

Yeah, uh yeah, Titans minus three, it is in Tennessee. Okay. I got the Vikings on the money line uh at minus one oh eight versus Green Bay.

SPEAKER_03 39:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 39:16

I've got Dallas minus two and a half at minus one oh five versus the giant my giants. Your giants?

SPEAKER_04 39:22

Hey, uh, this is business, and this man has taken it very, very personal. It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business. This is business, Dork.

SPEAKER_02 39:33

And I've got uh who are the Vikings playing week one? I I wrote Tennessee, but that can't be that's not fucking right.

SPEAKER_03 39:43

What do you got there?

SPEAKER_02 39:44

Uh uh Oh, uh the Vikings are playing who are they playing Money Line Dallas.

SPEAKER_03 39:50

Is that like week two or uh I don't know what that's like or is that a parlay?

SPEAKER_02 39:55

Oh, it's a parlay! Thanks, Dor. Uh yeah, I've got I've got Tennessee at minus three plus. Get your shit more organized there, dude. I'm sorry, man. Uh I got Tennessee minus three uh versus the Jets. I got the Vikings on the money line.

SPEAKER_00 40:11

I think they're playing Green Bay.

SPEAKER_03 40:26

And to your aunt, you texted me, no, I did not bet on the White Sox. I wish I had. What a fool! You said you were going to be every year. They're leaving the division now. They got a guy who's an all-star this year, Tristan Peters. Yeah. Who's uh alumni of the Savannah Bananas, if you've heard of him.

SPEAKER_02 40:44

Oh yeah, I've seen him on TV. Uh I I can't believe you didn't bet the White Sox. Uh uh even Fez was touting them before the season started to go over their win total.

SPEAKER_03 40:57

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:58

Uh yeah. Oh man, I thought you were on that because when you said, Yeah, I'm getting I'm gonna throw down on that, and you and you that's right.

SPEAKER_03 41:04

I just I just missed it.

SPEAKER_02 41:05

I forget now.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

I really don't follow baseball that much.

SPEAKER_02 41:09

I don't either, but you gotta do it when you think about it.

SPEAKER_03 41:12

You gotta do it. You gotta jump when the iron's hot.

SPEAKER_02 41:14
