The Brotherly Bet
Welcome to The Brotherly Bet, where sports betting meets bad decisions and even worse advice. We’re just a few guys who think we’re smarter than Vegas — and we have the losing slips to prove it.
Every week, we break down the biggest games, make picks we MIGHT regret, and talk way too much about things like kicker props, questionable calls, and whether the Bears are legally allowed to play offense.
It’s part sports betting, part group therapy, and ALL fun.
No guarantees. Just HOT TAKES, BOLD BETS, & ZERO REGRETS.
The Brotherly Bet
Bye Week Blues, Bold Bets
Chaos made itself at home this week—and we leaned into it. From the Eagles selling a perfect tush-push fake to the Steelers flirting with drama in Dublin, we walk through the exact moments that turned sure wins into stress and stress into lessons. We laugh about the camera obsessing over a rookie QB’s mom, cringe at turf-fueled injuries, and get honest about what ties do to fans who paid to feel something real at the end.
We dig into why the new kickoff rules are starting to make sense, where overtime needs a decisive fix, and how fourth-and-one choices reveal a coach’s true identity—play to win or play not to lose. On the betting side, we share the patterns that actually held: Thursday night edges stayed perfect, early windows were kinder, and aggressive teams like Detroit continue to justify bigger spreads than old models allow. We also own the misses, adjust our process, and build from what the market keeps mispricing.
Finally, we set our brotherly bet to climb out of the hole: Cowboys moneyline for steadiness and Lions -6.5 for conviction. It’s not about bravado—it’s about cleaner edges, fewer traps, and leaning into teams that know who they are. If you’re here for smart football talk, rule-change ranting, and bets with a backbone, you’ll feel right at home.
Enjoyed the ride? Follow, share with a friend who lives for fourth-and-short debates, and drop a review to tell us your favorite Week 4 moment—and your boldest Week 5 pick.
Hot takes, bald bets, power, zero regrets. You're locked in with the brotherly bed.
SPEAKER_05:And we're live here, baby. We are live. We're back. Feeling good. Grant, how are you?
SPEAKER_02:I am terrific. It is a Wednesday night. Everyone's in bed.
SPEAKER_05:And we're in October. We are in October. Are your Halloween decorations out?
SPEAKER_02:No, but um we do have one pumpkin. Uh Jack, how many pumping pumpkins do you guys have at the house?
SPEAKER_05:Um, I can see one, two. My my mom did some crafting stuff too. So it is just ridiculous. But I can see seven right in front of me. Oh and then there's I can see in the other room, there's like three, there's a three-stack, there's six over there. So I mean we're looking at at least a baker's dozen in my vision.
SPEAKER_02:Do you live at a spirit Halloween store?
SPEAKER_05:We live at home. It's literally you walk in at home, we're there. Or home goods. This is what it's about.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. No, there's uh there's probably gonna be two pumpkins on our front step. We have mums that are orange, and that's probably as far as we'll take it.
SPEAKER_05:We went with the yellow mums.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_05:For reasons that you can imagine.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you like bees?
SPEAKER_01:No, the steelers, that's right.
SPEAKER_05:That's right. Like when I was wearing the yellow jersey at the at the brewery.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, attracting all the bees.
SPEAKER_05:I was literally like Winnie the Pooh.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. It's like sitting next to Big Bird. Hi, Pooh Bear.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. All right. We are into week five already. We are into the bye weeks. So, Grant, off the top of your head, do you remember which four teams are on the bye?
SPEAKER_02:Packers. The Bears, the Falcons, and the Steelers.
SPEAKER_05:That's right. I I texted, unfortunately, Tom's at work, so we couldn't make the session tonight, but I texted him. I'm like, what are we gonna do? Like, what are we what are we gonna do? Like, there's no point in even watching football on Sunday.
SPEAKER_02:Like it you want to read a book?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I don't know. It's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be crazy. Um, all right, take us away with our magical week four highlights. It was a big one. There was a I mean, dude, the NFL is insane. It's like you pick games, you're like, this team's definitely gonna win, and then it doesn't happen. So our brother Lou Bett will tell you that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. No, it um it was one of the worst weeks overall. We were ahead of the coin flip. So overall, we were 56%, so brought down our total average to 67%. So ego took a little bit of a hit. Our home predictions are still pretty, pretty accurate. So I feel good about that. Um, but yeah, it was one of those, like after watching all the games before it was like, oh, this is a lock. These teams are gonna come through, and by the end of the day, Sunday, you're like, I gotta sell my car.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:You know, like it's like, what do you think?
SPEAKER_04:I gotta sell I gotta sell both cars, right? Not just one.
SPEAKER_02:Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, it's insane.
SPEAKER_05:It's insane.
SPEAKER_02:Another week, another uh bunch of pulled butts on the season.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:And you know, for our neighbors listening, a pulled butt is a hamstring.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Those of you that don't watch Ted Lasso. And if you don't, you got to. It's a good show. It's a good show. All right, hit us with the uh week four update here. What do we got? Give me some highlights here.
SPEAKER_02:Rams and Colts. Rams pulled this one away. 2-2 at 12. Had an 88-yard, big touchdown, two minutes left to beat the Colts. Sorry, ponies, you're going down, hopefully, this week. Chiefs and Ravens was a good one. If you're a Chiefs fan, Patrick Mahomes, he's back through four over a good old-fashioned spanking. Lamar Jackson did leave with a pulled butt. Ravens are uh in some dire straits. You're probably happy about that as a Steelers fan, but you like the color purple, and Barney are probably not.
SPEAKER_05:I'm not mad.
SPEAKER_02:Uh, Giants and Chargers, this one got a lot of press. Not for the game. Yeah, they had Jackson Dart coming to the rescue, winning the game, but his parents were in the stands, and his mom was getting a lot of air time. Yes, she was. I don't know if you thought it was almost like they put her on TV more than the actual game.
SPEAKER_05:They'd be like, first and ten, and here's Jackson's mom cheering on Jackson. Look at her clap.
SPEAKER_02:What play do you think they just finished? Wow, I think she knows a lot about football. Let's go back to her. Oh, and then the camera guy is like, wait, do I have that shirt? Hold on, let me zoom in.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah. Is that a V-neck? What's the cut here?
SPEAKER_02:She got a lot of airtime.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, she did. And in every in, you know, in their defense, when a rookie starts and the parents are in, the parents normally do get a lot of airtime, but she got a lot of a lot like this. She got a lot of airtime.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, like Taylor Swift is up here in terms of airtime, and Jackson Dart's mom is.
SPEAKER_04:She just cooked her.
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Cooked her. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I bet those PTA meetings in high school were pretty packed. That's all I gotta say.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, you want to be the president? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Jackson, can we come over? Jackson, I'm here. Dude, I'm not even friends with you.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I think I left my pencil in your house.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I gotta go. Can I use your bathroom?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. You don't need these pictures, do you? Anyway. Yeah. So she got a lot of air time. Uh Chargers. They'll bounce back this week. Uh Eagles bucks. Eagles still undefeated. Uh I do love this play. So everyone thinks they're gonna do a tush push. They go to touch the butts and they pull back and they just run in the end zone. It was phenomenal.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I'm surprised they pulled that out so early in the season. You know, but at the same time, like if they're lining up for that play. I mean, to be honest, what's one extra guy off the line? Is he really gonna stop the the tush push when they're all leaving early, anyways? Like, no. So you might as well have a spy right now. At least if, you know, in that circumstance for sure. Come playoff time for sure. Like, what's one safe, what's one safety weighing 180 pounds with pads? What's he gonna do? Jump, jump over people and just land on people? They're already two yards up.
SPEAKER_02:No, Javaris isn't gonna be the one to like I'm gonna stop it.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, no. But I'm surprised. But it was fun to see.
SPEAKER_02:It was fun to see. It was a good one. It was kind of like watching uh Pink Manning run in for that one touchdown when he did the fake and he ran at the end.
SPEAKER_05:It took him three minutes to get there.
SPEAKER_02:Exactly. I think he's still running.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Trying to slow down.
SPEAKER_02:So next up we got the Patriots, Panthers, New England. They ran all over him. Uh Drake May got a touchdown in there. Woo-hoo! Marcus Jones had an 87 yarder for a touchdown. Fun fact.
SPEAKER_05:Let me upon return. Good math.
SPEAKER_02:Thank you.
SPEAKER_05:That's good math.
SPEAKER_02:12 inches is also a foot, by the way. Jaguars, Kitty Cats, and 49ers. Jacksonville had a very good defensive play when Eric Armstead, Eric spelled A-R-I-K, that's right. Stripped the ball from good old Brocky Purdy late in the game to secure it. Next up, we got the Raiders and Bears. Bears blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter. The go-to to win the game. They had four turnovers in the game. More turnovers than a Texas church.
SPEAKER_05:That's right, baby. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Ashton Jounty. Genty boy rushing game. Genty, jounty. He's John. Right.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, he looked good. Hi Nice. He looked good.
SPEAKER_02:He looked high small.
SPEAKER_04:He looked good.
SPEAKER_02:Steelers and Vikings in Dublin.
SPEAKER_05:What a game.
SPEAKER_02:Ireland. Steelers came out on top. They looked pretty solid. Defense looked much better overall. And I'm not just saying that because I was sitting next to a guy that was attracting bees at a bar.
SPEAKER_05:That's right.
SPEAKER_02:They looked pretty solid.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I I mean offensively they looked solid too. I mean, if you if you go on social media and you know, algorithms are a thing now, right? So if you click on one thing and scroll up, like it's just gonna be popping you the same concept of what you were looking at. So as you can tell, I get a lot of Steeler stuff, bear stuff, NFL stuff, betting stuff. Everyone's like, click here now for your free picks, like whatever. Um but when they did their their idea of a tush push, their QB sneak, when Rogers wasn't even taking the snap, and he's just got one hand on his hip and he's just pointing at it. Dude, people are just loving that. So it they looked good. The only thing I will say is, you know, we were sitting there in the fourth quarter, me and Tom were smiling at each other, right? It's 10 o'clock in the morning. We were Irish car bombs all over the place. There was food all over the place. The kids were terrorizing the house and the backyard and the basement. And he he he said the thing he shouldn't have said. He's like, man, this this is nice. Like, this is a comfortable lead. I think at one point we were up 24 to 6, right? Something like that. And then sure enough, touchdown, two-point conversion. Now it's 24-14. Then it was another, there was that long touchdown. I mean, Peyton Wilson catching up to a wide receiver, that's incredible. Your your linebacker who starts behind the play, stops you at the one, and then they chewed up like an extra minute, minute and a half. So they said that was a big, big idea. But of course, we have this huge lead, and then it comes down to it's fourth and one, and Tomlin's like, we're we're gonna punt, which dude, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:Like you're the way they you're deep a little Dan Campbell in you, just like okay, you can do this in league. Yeah, let's just let's flip a coin, let's give it to the boys, work for it and at that point, you're around midfield.
SPEAKER_05:If you're that confident with your defense, like go for it. And if we don't get it, we're gonna stop them, you know. So I I get it. You already, and then our punter boots it into like the third row, so they're already starting at the 20. So I'm like, right, might as well have just gone the way that they were rushing it, but that's how Tomlin is. He he he always says, like, we don't we don't play to our fears or whatever. I'm like, yeah, but you you play scared a lot, right? Like, I I get it, but it's like, dude, just go for the go for the jugular and take him. Right. But you know, of course, Tom jinxed us though, or we're comfy. And then it's like in the fourth quarter, we're like, dude, what is going on?
SPEAKER_02:Like, stop talking, please. Yes, yes. So if I was a team, not the Eagles, for those situations as a trick play, I would learn the proper formation for the tush push because I would line up like that, and teams would go, uh-oh, I've seen this before. I know what they do. They're gonna defend and set up for that, and then you just throw a tight end behind and just lob a pass over.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:They're not gonna know what to do. Yeah, because no one has done that, and you're like, Yeah, we don't even know how to run it, but we know where to park the cars.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. So, but I mean it was fun. I mean, we checked the, you know, we always put in one parlay together before the game, which is I think we've won one so far, so we're like, we're one for four, which isn't bad when you're throwing you know four or five legs into a bet. But he's like our running backs out, and I'm like, what? Like Jalen Warren, healthy or you know, day scratch, and we're like, oh geez, like Kenny G. And then he had 99, he had over 100 all purpose, so he had like 99 on the ground, he had like 20 something in the air, two touchdowns, DK, five catches, one twenty six with a touchdown. I mean, but once again, defense, two turnovers or three turnovers, one interception, one fumble recovery. Should have been two fumble recoveries with a scoop and score. But if you missed it, apparently, if you're laying out of bounds and you touch the ball, the ball's dead. So I get it. Like that's it's the same thing on a punt, right? So, but man, we were just like pouring up shots. Then we look up and Minnesota has the ball again. We're like, what happened? We're like playing the song. My dad was um he faded us. He took Minnesota, so we sit in there like like a gremlin, like giggling. I'm like, dude, you know, like so, but it was good, it was a fun game.
unknown:It was fun.
SPEAKER_02:I think foot football needs to adopt the out-of-bounds rule of soccer. Soccer's like, okay, there's gonna be lines here, but yeah, you could move your feet outside of them. Yeah, balls in play, out of bounds, but the ball's in here.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, balls in play.
SPEAKER_02:But yeah.
SPEAKER_05:And then um what's our last one?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Next one, we got the Cowboys Packers. It was a beautiful game. Shot after shot, boom, boom, boom. It's like, man, this is gonna be an all-American great. You see Jerry Jones up, down, up, down, up, down. Oh no, he's still down. He ain't coming back. He's over. He's getting bass up. Oh no, he got lifted up, he gone. And then it ends in a tie. So that was fun.
SPEAKER_05:Dude, such a waste. Such a waste. So annoying. I I hate that. I hate it. Like they should get rid of that. No one, like, if you pull all the fans, they're gonna be like, play, play again, play again, and then change the second overtime. Be like, hey, first score wins. Like, we've already done this once. All right, whoever gets another, whoever gets a point, right, game's over.
SPEAKER_02:Like, or you get to that spot, like the NHL, they do the shootout.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Let's set these kickers up and let's see them hit a couple, like three field goals as long as they can.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, something.
SPEAKER_02:Like, something, like, let's see some 70-yard field goals hit multiple. Let's put it on these guys.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Something.
SPEAKER_05:Let's do a thumb war. Let's do let's do something to break the tie. Like now your record is like what? I don't even know what the cowboys are. What are they two, one and one? Like, ooh. Just like no one went there. No one paid anywhere from$150 to$2,000 in tickets to leave the game. I rather leave the game pissed that my team lost than leave the game, be like, well, at least we tied. Like, dude, it's it's not like these are professionals. Like, it's not junior high football, right? Like, all right, no one got hurt. Win, right? No one's going to the hospital. Win. Cool.
SPEAKER_02:There's there's no phenomenal games in the hall of fame, and they're like, oh, remember, you know, like the the Michael Jordan flu game, right?
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah, he did this. Wow, wow. What how did the game end, Dad? They tied.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Like it's it's okay.
SPEAKER_05:They tied. They tied.
SPEAKER_01:They all played their hearts out. No, you should have stayed in the locker room.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, they've changed, they've adapted the game so much. I I I wasn't a big fan of the new kickoff rules. Yeah. Now it being week five, I'm okay. I kind of like it. You gotta hit it in this zone. If you don't hit it in the zone, we're gonna penalize your kicker. If you hit it out of bounds, we're gonna give you a couple extra yards for the receiving team. Okay. And then you gotta start here and go when he catches it. That way it's not like it used to be, right? The kicker kicks it. This team's running full tilt sprint 60 yards down the field, and then there's just like mass chaos. Like, so I'm okay with that, but just like, man, this tie thing, like it happened, it happened last year, I think. I'm like, ugh, like just play. Just play, dude. Like, it's so dumb. NBA doesn't do it, you play to win, right? NHL doesn't do it, you play to win. MLB adapted their 10th inning thing to more college level stuff. At least there's no tie, right? So at least like you're come on, man. Like, anyways.
SPEAKER_02:They should they should make the kickoff. Now we're getting on a real tangent, and I'm just talking about pouring buttons the rest of the time. They on the kickoff, they should make it that your offense, if you want to play the first play of the series on the kickoff, you have to be lined up.
SPEAKER_05:Like for kickoff?
SPEAKER_02:Like Travis Kelsey, if you want to play first down after kickoff, you can't ball play.
SPEAKER_05:Like you can't substitute the QB's out there.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. You've seen Rodgers out there just like scared out of his mind, just and someone's coming at him like 22 miles an hour. Just young smelling salt. Blow him up. Wouldn't that be entertaining though? No, it's a lot more points.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, because half the people wouldn't be able to get down the field as fast because four to six of them are linemen.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. That's good. They want to take away injuries. I'm finding different ways to create some new ones.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. That's perfect. Speaking of injuries.
SPEAKER_02:Hey, there it is. Speed injuries. Rolling my ankle today, getting out of the car. Pretty similar to Tyree Kill, who uh had some issues, dislocated knee, car ledge.
SPEAKER_05:Did you did you did you see it?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I threw up.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. And I I don't know. I mean, his leg was another direction. Like that it was it was disgusting. Yeah. But then he's like on the cart and he's like, I'm number one.
SPEAKER_02:He was doing that and he was like on his phone.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I'm like, what are like is your body just flying with different types of I don't know pain blockers? Like, I'm guessing they didn't give him anything when he got on the cart, like I like they just like stabilized it and went. Like, is your body naturally just going, dude? You're a little you're a little cooked right now. So is it was he just like high off the emotions? I mean, he looked he looked like he just like broke a finger or like dislocated a shoulder. He's like, Yeah, I'm good, man. Like, no, your leg, your leg was a different way.
SPEAKER_02:Right. No, yeah, you're gonna be Lieutenant Dan, okay? Yes. Get off, put the phone down, put the queen wave away, put the towel over your head, okay?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah. You ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan.
SPEAKER_02:Where's the blue tent?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, seriously, my yeah, it was gross.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it was gnarly. But uh, yeah, uh, we already talked about Lamar and his torn butt and uh Malik neighbors of the Giants. It's got a torn ackle.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, ACL. Once again, playing on turf. A lot of these injuries, all in the turf, and I get it. We were talking, we were talking about it on Sunday. You're you're trying to make on the turf. Yeah, you're you're trying, it's literally carpet over concrete, right? So essentially, like that's what it is with some rubber beads to make it a little bit less give you a little bit more of a burn when you slide. Um I get it. You're trying to keep the field decent, right? You're you're trying to you're trying to do it to where you know any nasty weather situations or or anything like that, like your field's okay, but dude, it's football. Like right. They can they can play in in the snow, they can play in the rain, they can't play in lightning and thunder, nasty storms, which is fine. They pretty much get rid of the fans, so they're not gonna play the game. But like, dude, it's it's it's an outdoor sport, so like they can play on grass.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_05:I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:And when dogs pee on that turf, it smells so bad.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, it's awful. We had a dog that remember our dog walk in the city, it was just all turf. It literally just it reeked up. Yeah. There's no yeah, ugh. Ugh. All right. Um, Grant, so you came over on Sunday um at 8 30 in the morning to watch the beautiful, beautiful Steelers win. Um what'd you think? Amy, Amy wanted me to ask you if you think we're all nuts because we do this a lot. And that game turned out well. Like it started out pretty good. We went down three, didn't really think of it, and then after that, it was pedaled to the metal, so it was pretty a rare game for you to see.
SPEAKER_02:Um I was made to sit in a child's chair for an hour.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, because it was good luck. I'm telling you, the uh shout out. This this episode is brought to you by Pottery Barn Kids. Get your chairs and embroidery, get your chairs at Pottery Barn. Yeah, Trips glows in the dark, too. Look out, uh look out. In case you were wondering where he is at 10 p.m. at night, you can't find him. Look on the chair, it's glowing. So, yeah, and that's the thing. Things were going sideways.
SPEAKER_01:We're like, sit back in the chair. Like, sit back in the chair. So the chair of cheer.
SPEAKER_05:The chair of cheer. Not the chair of cheer. Um, but I mean, that's how it is every Sunday. And we always say, like, when we when we all get together, we're like, all right, you bring this, you bring this, you bring this, like you guys brought something. We'll bring, I'll make this, I'll make this, we'll get this. And then like the night before, we'll be like laying in bed, and I'll be like, You think we have enough food? And the answer is never always like oh for sure. Yeah, we'll have more. It's always like, I think we'll be okay. Like, there's always a hesitation to where like you think everyone's gonna have 15 plates of everything, right? And then everyone leaves with food, right? It's but the opposite of that is what if you don't make enough food? Then it's like you you you guys want some hot pockets?
SPEAKER_02:Like we don't have enough toilet paper, so you're gonna need to go out back in the bush. So I mean, it it definitely was like you guys were planning for everyone that came to have their last meal hungry last meal kind of day. Yeah, like the most they've ever eaten in an entire day in their lives was gonna be today. Yeah, and it was gonna be in the morning, right when they wake up.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, not only are we gonna have enough food, but some of you don't even eat till lunch. So here we go. We have 14 different casseroles.
SPEAKER_02:Habit is gonna change, okay? Yeah, you don't drink in the morning either, so yeah, that's starting up.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, here we go. Here we go. All right. Let's get. Did we go over our stats already? Oh, we gotta do our predictions. We'll do our predictions, then we'll get to the brotherly bet, then then we'll then we'll get out of here. Um, I will rattle them off. You holler at your boy.
SPEAKER_02:Alright, I will say this. We're still 100% on Thursday night football. Thursday night football. So if you're looking for a game to bet, do Thursday night football. The trend is still identical.
SPEAKER_04:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Early on in the week games, perfect. It gets a little frisky the later in the week it goes. So it's still a hundred percent. Then do the afternoon games, pretty good, and then after that, uh just tip your waitress better.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, here we go. Thursday night football. Home teams are first Los Angeles Rams, San Francesco, 49ers. Francisco, that's a fun name.
SPEAKER_02:Francisco. There's a Disney movie with a guy Francisco. Or named Francisco. Pixar? No, just an Italian boy. I'm thinking of um the fishman in the sea. Lupe?
SPEAKER_05:Oh, Luca?
SPEAKER_02:Luca?
SPEAKER_05:Is there Francisco in here? I think there might be Francesco. Yeah, but yeah, maybe. More of a wish guy.
SPEAKER_02:Um Ramson.
SPEAKER_05:Alright, we got Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings. This game is in London. You sound like you're from London. This game's in London.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, Crykey. That's Australian. Nail that. We're gonna go with the Vikings on that.
SPEAKER_05:Quick clanking your keyboard. Your poor keyboard. Uh flying off. We got the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants.
SPEAKER_02:This one we're going with the Giants. Jackson Dart is gonna be there. Uh in the Saints, so uh let's see if some beads go her way. And camera guys get ready. I like it.
SPEAKER_05:I like it. We got Philadelphia Eagles and the Denver Broncos.
SPEAKER_02:Denver. No, we picked the Eagles. Just kidding.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, it's hard to go. Right now, I know they're not playing their best football.
SPEAKER_02:They're finding ways to win.
SPEAKER_05:They don't ask how, they ask how many, folks. Philadelphia Eagles. Baltimore Ravens with Cooper Rush under center and Houston Texans.
SPEAKER_02:This is a tough one. We debated on this one for a little while. Uh, Tom let it be known that Jack did say, I don't like the color purple unless it's on Barney. Or Grimace.
SPEAKER_05:Grimace, too.
SPEAKER_02:Yep, Grimace. Um can't beat the Ravens. Although they are a good messenger pigeon for the evil. I said I just want to win the bet, so we decided to go with the Ravens instead.
SPEAKER_05:Okay. I do think it's gonna be tight. Pounding the football. Um Derrick Henry has not had a season like he normally does, so I think they're looking to get him back on track while and Cooper Rush isn't he He's not a slouch. He's not a slouch, he's been in the league. He he had a he had a couple big games in when he played for Dallas. So um moving on. We got the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys.
SPEAKER_02:I think the Dallas Cowboys and the Jets might tie again, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick the Cowboys. I'd go with Cowboys.
SPEAKER_05:We got the Indianapolis Colts against the Raiders.
SPEAKER_02:Colts are home going indie.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, they're playing pretty good. Uh, Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins.
SPEAKER_02:Going Miami on this one.
unknown:I like it.
SPEAKER_02:Let's see if they can make it two in a row.
SPEAKER_05:I like it. Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans.
SPEAKER_02:Cardinals.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, Tennessee is uh well. It's gotta be rough to be a fan for them. Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Bucks.
SPEAKER_02:Seahawks at home, so we're going with the 11th to 13th man, whatever the hell it is. The Seahawks.
SPEAKER_05:The 12th man.
SPEAKER_02:12th man. So I skipped it.
SPEAKER_05:Um I will say the plus three and a half that the Bucks are getting, that does intrigue me. Just because of our boy who plays for the Tampa Bay Bucks. It's very hard for me not to root for Baker Mayfield. However, if Seattle doesn't turn the ball over, I think it's going to be tougher for Tampa Bay. Their defense is pretty solid. Um, we got the LA Chargers, Washington Commandas Chargers on this one. Yeah, I think it's a bounce pass. I think it's a bounce back week for them. Um too many turnovers last week. Um, I don't know if Jane Daniels is coming back yet. I haven't had any news on that. But we're this is what we're rolling with. Um we're going Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions. The Lions are giving up 10 and a half points as an away team.
SPEAKER_02:Well, you had the uh the question mark eyes.
SPEAKER_05:I was just waiting. I was waiting for like a grant remark.
SPEAKER_02:10 points, yeah. It's gonna be good. Either way, we're going with the Lions.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Um as a we we talked about this too before we got into our brotherly that it's hard for us to give up that many points to professional football teams, even though right now the Cincinnati Bengals, I feel like, would lose to the University of Cincinnati. Jake Browning looks lost. There was one, there was one play that I saw. Um Broncos were rushing three people. Rushing three people on this play, and their two tackles got beat, and four guys were guarding or trying to block one guy in front of them, and they still let everybody by. So he's he got sacked by two guys. Like that was that was that was rough to see. If I had Jake Browning, I'd be like, what on earth am I doing? I did not sign up for this, I signed up to be the backup of probably the best quarterback in the league. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Be like, whoa, don't want you to get all of them guys.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. All right, you guys can split this sack. Um, we got Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. Right now, the line's eight and a half.
SPEAKER_02:Bills.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, we're taking the Bills once again. We talked earlier, we think it's gonna be closer than eight and a half. Um, New England's playing decent enough. And right now, the bill, I mean, the Bills didn't even cover against the Saints last week. So I think they only won by 12. They were giving up what 16 and a half points or whatever. Um, but I feel like at I feel like the coach is always like, all right, we're up two scores. Let's just like milk this clock. Because I don't I like if I just let Josh Allen do his thing, we'll get another touchdown. Like, right.
SPEAKER_02:I feel like that's how he does his thing, he might blow up.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I feel like that's how coach over there is thinking. He's like, we don't need to win by 50 versus Dan Campbell and in the Lions are like, dude, we're we're gonna kill everybody if we can.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, they're like, bend over, we're getting another pole.
SPEAKER_01:Check in the back.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Open the umbrella. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Um, and our last game, Monday Night Football. Uh, Bills and Patriots at Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football. We have Jacksonville Jaguars at home against the Kansas City Chefs.
SPEAKER_02:We're going with the chefs on this one. So I think Sunday night, Monday night hopefully brings our average back up.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah, for sure. Um, yeah. Unfortunately, we have no comments on the Bears or the Steelers because they don't play.
SPEAKER_03:So what do we do?
SPEAKER_05:Umright, Brotherly Pet, we are 0-4, Grant. We are 0-4. But our predictions throughout the week, if you choose predictions that you like as well and you agreed with us, hopefully you did a little something, right? Um if you bet on the Steelers every week, you're up money. You got that going for you. Um we're taking the Cowboys against the Jets. Jets are at home. We're not gonna touch the spread. We're just gonna take money lines for the Cowboys. So money line, Dallas Cowboys. Right? That's sitting, sorry, my computer's going slow. That's sitting at minus 142. So that one's okay. Anything in the 100s, mid 150s, it's not gonna totally kill your bet, especially if we do a two-leg, which we are. Then we're taking the lions. We're not gonna take the money line on this because if we take the money line on it, it's like minus 550. That brings our two-legger to like minus 105. What fun is that? So we're gonna assume that the Lions can beat the Bengals by at least a touchdown. So they're gonna cover seven points. So we're taking the Detroit Lions minus six and a half on the road, which is sitting at minus 194. Now, sorry, I need to go to my phone here to make sure that this is all right. Together for today, because the lines may change, it's sitting at plus one fifty-eight. Okay, so you bet ten bucks, you win twenty-five. If you bet a thousand dollars in I'll buy it, I won a thousand dollars. If you're betting a thousand dollars, you win twenty five hundred in pound.
SPEAKER_02:That is almost free.
SPEAKER_05:Click now for your free pick. This will cash if this doesn't cash. All right, so we have Cowboys Money Line, Lions minus six and a half. That's an alternate spread, so you will have to tease it down. That would be at 190 minus 194. Cowboys money line is minus 142.
SPEAKER_02:I think I tease it down. And what Jack means is you just gotta open up the button.
SPEAKER_05:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Just open it up, let me know. One more button, just tease it. Just a little tease.
SPEAKER_05:Just a little tease.
SPEAKER_02:Just to see three hairs.
SPEAKER_05:Maybe, maybe, maybe three and a half. Maybe three and a half. Maybe three and a half. All right, you got anything else for us, Grant?
SPEAKER_02:You know what they call a two two legger in uh college? She's a keeper. Alright, I got another one for you. Give me another one. Alright. Uh what do you call someone in Indiana that has 90% of their teeth? And that's a full set?
SPEAKER_05:Nice. Kind of like those women in northern Ontario.
SPEAKER_02:Where the men are men and the women are too.
SPEAKER_05:Alright, that's a wrap, everybody. Um, thanks for listening. We're gonna try to, as you can see, um we're recording like visually, right?
