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
We came for football, stayed for candy and a Dino on a Diamondback
The week starts with a bowl of temptation and ends with a four-leg moneyline. We kick off with Halloween candy economics—why buying early means buying twice—and a quick tour through holiday tiers, dad-life rituals in the garage, and the neighbors who enable our sweet tooth. That warmth is the doorway into a spikier football world: Tennessee pulls the ripcord on Brian Callahan, hands the whistle to Mike McCoy, and lines up for a pride game against New England. Revenge energy meets the myth of the new-coach spark, and we unpack how that psychology can tilt a Sunday more than any spreadsheet.
From there, it’s pure Week 7 turbulence. We break down the Lions–Chiefs flare-up and the one-game suspension that followed, pushing on the line between toughness and theater in a league that sells both. The NFC sees the Giants rise while the Eagles grind through short-yardage identity; the Falcons bruise Buffalo with a defense that finally bites. Across the AFC, it’s adults-versus-teenagers energy, with the Steelers muscling up and the Ravens and Bengals searching for rhythm. And yes, the Chiefs look annoyingly inevitable again—credit to Andy Reid for situational mastery and to Mahomes for command, even when the celebration dances get old.
Injuries cast the longest shadow. Another brutal stretch for the 49ers headlines a week where ankles, ACLs, and necks force coordinators to redraw their plans on the fly. We map how those losses reshape matchups, player usage, and betting edges. Then the numbers: our picks rebound into the high-60s, we call a Thursday night winner with a firm stance on pressure and game script, and we build a bold but logical four-leg moneyline—Steelers, Bears, Colts, Jets—with guidance on how to scale risk to your comfort. It’s sharp analysis with a human pulse: chili on the stove, a baby sleeping while you quietly fist pump a forced fumble, and an outrageous detour into how much gum a team chews in a season.
Tap play for clear reads, clean reasoning, and a little brotherly chaos. If you’re into smart breakdowns, honest laughs, and bets you can tailor to your style, you’re in the right place. Follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your upset pick in the comments—we’ll shout out the best calls next week.
Hot takes, bold bets. Zero regrets. You're locked in with the brotherly bet.
SPEAKER_04:Let's turn it down, Grant. You mean let's turn it up? Let's go. We are back here. Season two, episode 11. We've made it all the way to episode 11. We are in week seven of the NFL.
SPEAKER_06:Week seven.
SPEAKER_04:Almost Halloween.
SPEAKER_06:Almost Halloween. Do you have your candy? No. You don't? When do you buy your candy? In the household.
SPEAKER_04:Here's the thing: the earlier you buy your candy, the more candy you buy. Because the candy's in the house. So yeah, the earlier you buy your Halloween candy, the more candy you purchase throughout Halloween. If you buy your candy two and a half weeks before Halloween, you have to go out and buy more candy because you got candy in the house. So what are you doing at night? You're just, eh, I'm gonna go get a little pumpkin. I'm gonna go get a couple two or three bags of Skittles. You're you're you're in trouble, dude.
SPEAKER_06:You're in trouble. Correct me if I'm wrong. I I can control myself. I don't like candy.
SPEAKER_04:Well, you are not a typical American because you eat, and I know that's false, because you eat root beer float bars like it's your job. And in anything airhead bites? Oh, delicious. Shout out to Timmy and anything gum-related. Mmm, gum. Oh, delicious. How about on the golf trip when we just kept every time we'd play, we would just drive to the grocery store and get more ice cream. And they're like, guys, how much ice cream are you gonna get? I'm like, uh, well, uh oh. Grant lost his life. But seriously, the earlier you buy your Halloween candy, the more candy you have to purchase. Because you look down and it's the 27th of October, and you're like, I'm down to half a bowl. I'm surprised you even opened the bag. Like, if I touched the bag, I have I have I have two toddlers in here. They they see it and they're like, give me some candy. And I'm like, Okay, because then I'll eat the candy with you.
SPEAKER_06:Eat it in the garage like a like a real dad. Okay. Like you? Smoke outside at night. Like you with your ice cream cones. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Like when I need to have a good chew of gum, or eat a little ice cream, I'm out in the garage and neighbor Dan is smoking outside. We're waving to each other because we're both doing stuff that aren't good for us, but we love it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. So other uh the other thing is the candy prices now are insane, are insane. I don't remember them being$40 a bag. It makes me want to hand out fruit snacks because I can go to Costco, I can get two big boxes of fruit snacks, and it costs me$20. Yeah. And then the parents will be like, hey, at least I give my kids fruit snack anyways, and it's and it's not a you know, a Snicker bar or whatever, you know. Oh, Welches. I haven't heard. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, are these new? Those are made with real juice.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, oh, and you have a pack of travel Kleenex with it. Oh.
SPEAKER_04:You know, I think what do we have? We have what two weeks until Halloween. I think if not next week, but the week after, I think we'll do a little Halloween, a little Halloween episode, and we'll get something going. Because it is my favorite uh my favorite holiday for sure. It is. It is. I didn't know this. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Well, what's your favorite holiday? Non-Halloween. Why? It um I don't look good in the color orange. That's starters. Right. You don't have to wear orange. You can wear a costume. I'm not a big dress-up guy. Like I'm me.
SPEAKER_04:I I find that very hard to believe with the amount of characters that you do with your voice.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:But the amount of skits and and things that you produce, I I find that very hard to believe that you don't like Halloween.
SPEAKER_06:That doesn't track, you're right. But like when I go to the It definitely doesn't track.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:I think this year you should see me like, hold on, let me get my glasses real quick.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but it's the one it's the one day where you can.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. I hear I've I think Christmas is probably my favorite holiday.
SPEAKER_04:See, I think uh when you ask people, you ask people or young kids, they're gonna say Christmas or their birthday. Right. Right? Especially a little kid. My birthday. It's my favorite holiday. It's not a it's not a it's not a holiday, kid. It's your day um that your mother suffered through. So I think Christmas is its own. I like how we're trying to talk about NFL week six and now we're talking about holidays, but I'm gonna bet he doesn't guess what holiday is his. Yeah. I think Thanksgiving. Christmas has its own pedestal. So I think there's like different tiers for holidays. Like Christmas, you like unless you have like a really bad life-altering experience around the holiday times, yeah. Christmas is probably your top two. Oh yeah. You know, like it's definitely be because it has all the good stuff, right? It's got all the good feels, it's got the Grinch. I mean, does it get any better than that? So here it goes. Yeah. Blast good Christmas music. It's joyful and triumphant. Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_03:The chair, a chair. This isn't pudding.
SPEAKER_04:All right. Anyways, we would you say so Halloween, does that not even crack your top five for what about now, like being a dad? So like you like you get to experience Halloween with your kids. That's fun.
SPEAKER_06:They look forward to it, so it's fun. Um the actual of the event of Halloween now, like it's more of a tradition now. Yeah right? Like with kids, so that's fun. But it's one day, it's in the middle of the week, usually. And it's like it definitely does fall not this year. Not this year. This year's gonna be a banger.
SPEAKER_04:Maybe a lot of chili. Yeah. A lot of chili. So all right, anyways. Uh well, to get back to your question, how early do you buy your Halloween candy?
SPEAKER_06:Well, like, we went to Costco this weekend, and the question was asked, do we get candy yet? So I I shut it down, but for the last two years, we've waited a long time, and it's like, then your slim pick ends the week before. And it's like See, I don't I don't think so, though.
SPEAKER_04:Like, it's there's still so many bags ever at every store. Are you are you a fan? My sister does this. She well, she lives in a a smaller community. And I don't know, I don't know how big, so you're not even a big Halloween fan, anyways, but I'm not that big.
SPEAKER_06:180 pounds.
SPEAKER_04:Right. When you were when you were when you were a kid, the the house that handed out real size candy bars, that was always that was like, dude, you gotta hit up this house. And then you go there and you're like you tell your friends second or third house.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yes, yeah. You're like the red light discord.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, yeah. Getting a full pack of Skittles is like a key moment as a kid.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_06:You mean the thing you could buy every day at 7-Eleven? Yes, it was the best.
SPEAKER_04:The thing that you can just get at the park in the vending machine?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, but they gave it to me for free. Yes. You know the thing that the guy has in the white van who drives around?
SPEAKER_08:Yes, that's it.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, his taste a little socky, but his are a little sour.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, they go down smooth.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Um, but yeah, that was always and this, you know, well, we trick-or-treated, that was way before texting and on all these phones. That man, you had to like walk past people and they're like, hey, so-and-so's house, they got, and then you would just like full tilt sprint to get to that house, and you're like, I need to get me. And then I would always, you know, you get home, the great pumpkin Charlie Brown was always on, so I'd like eat dinner. I didn't even want to eat dinner because I've been snacking candy for the past three hours, and then you're kind of ciphering through, and then you get to like your couple special pieces, right? Your larger pieces of candy. We'd have some houses hand out like uh like caramel apples, right? So like you like manipulate it and hide it. So you're like, all right, I'm not gonna touch those yet. Like, that's always like your last hurrah, you know. See, how is it not a great holiday grant? It was the best.
SPEAKER_06:I think the best, like, so yeah, we didn't have phones. So I remember one year I dressed up as a uh dinosaur, and this was like your teenager, it was a blow-up dinosaur, right? Like, so it's like the feet and the hands are like this, and I was going over to my friend's house to start trick-or-treating, so he's like, Hey, when you get home from school, put your whatever on, ride your bike. So I'm riding through the neighborhood blow-up on blow-up fan, and it's like this dinosaur giantess tail on my on my bike going up the hill. And you're in my diamond back. Diamond back, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Oh my god, dinosaur.
SPEAKER_05:Yes, that's great.
SPEAKER_04:Oh boy. That was good. All right. So I think based on these conversations, I think we have to I have to come up with something for a little Halloween special. Maybe we'll do it next week. Maybe it'll be an unplugged. Who knows? Stay tuned, folks. Um, all right. They'll get off track, though. Yes. Oh, of course they will. Of course they will. All right, let's move on to uh I'll do these, Grant, and we can get you into the performances and some storylines. Do it with some big and big, some big NFL news here. We have our first rifting Tennessee Titans fire head coach Brian Callahan. They start one and five. They named Mike McCoy, interim head coach. Um the here's here's my favorite part of this story. They play Vrabel this week. So they play the Patriots, and the Titans fired Vrabel. And and I listen to a bunch of people talk about the NFL, and they're like, well, statistics show that teams that fire the head coach usually have like a spark the next game. I'm like, if you don't think Mike Vrabel's gonna try to run down your throat during this game to prove to you like you made a big mistake firing me. I think as the song stated, you got another thing coming. Um but yeah, so we'll see. Um my other big thing was if you didn't watch the Detroit Lions versus Kansas City Chiefs game towards the end of the game, you want to talk about playing from whistle to whistle? Are we doing an infomercial right now? That's like your I think I think we're talking about Brian Branch cracking Juju Smith Schuster in the helmet and him falling over like he got shot. Like, dude, you you guys run like you guys run full speed and like pads on, some of you lead with the crown, and this guy open hands you across the helmet, and he flopped harder than LeBron, and then he gets up, and then they, you know, they had their scuffle, which I love, I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I was like, let him go, let him let him go, dude. Yeah, who cares? Right, let them beat each other up, who cares? Um, but he's suspended for one game without pay. But the team is considering an appeal. I don't know if you'll win that appeal. And then they showed me a bunch of clips. Like, this is why he was pissed. This happened during this play. I'm like, dude, they're they're playing football. Like, oh, I didn't like the way he was blocking me. Yeah, it's football. You know, like it's it's fast and it's aggressive. So, but like he like shrugs off Mr. Patty Mahomes. I hate his celebration, by the way. Um this is like a junior high thing to do in like PE class when you're playing flag football. Like, oh, I just threw a touchdown right past the fat kid. Like, shut up, dude. Get it together. Um, those are my only big headlines. I mean, got rid of a coach, and then Brian Branch just bitch slaps Juju Smith, and I loved it. I loved it. It was a good one.
SPEAKER_06:It was a good one.
SPEAKER_04:Ooh, let him go. Let him go.
SPEAKER_06:It was great because all the other players like, I thought it would escalate more than it did, but like more players were like holding people back. It was kind of like when your toddler hits hits the other sibling and you're holding, oh, they didn't mean to do it. Oh, come on, tell him you're sorry. No. Like that's kind of what it felt like.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Yeah. And then, you know, Campbell comes out, he's like, We're, you know, he said everything right. Like, you know, he made a mistake. We don't play that kind of football. We don't carry ourselves like that. He said everything right. Yeah. I want to know what was said in the locker room.
SPEAKER_06:Like, hey, I'm pretty sure French.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, if you're gonna take a swing at someone, you might as well make it worth your suspension.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. You know, I could also see him saying, hey, you want to take a swing at someone? Hit me. Yeah, yeah. And he's probably like, okay, I'll sit down.
SPEAKER_08:Okay, I sorry.
SPEAKER_04:And then he's like, No, I listened to the brotherly bet podcast. I know that you would win in a bar fight.
SPEAKER_06:I heard you and Vrabel are gonna start end to end. And what's this about a towel coming into play? Wipe off sweats? What?
SPEAKER_08:Huh?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, so huh? Um all right, get us into some get us into our storylines for week six.
SPEAKER_06:Week six. It was a good one. So the Giants and Eagles, Giants are heating it up at the right time. Eagles, birds are going down to their nest, I tell you. They're not they're not looking good. They look tired, they look slow. They did the tush push 40 times to get it right. Like, okay, how much are you gonna touch a guy's ass and in and say, Yeah, we're just trying this play out. Just say you like touching his ass.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that was a lot of pushing. It was a lot, and it was like third and one fourth and one, first and goal, yeah, second and goal. All right, they got in, thank God.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, it was that was painful to watch. Yeah, but Giants are heating up. Cam Scadabo is really kind of the voice of New York right now, alongside another young man that I'll talk about in a second. But he had three touchdowns, 100 rushing yards, and that was a big win for the Eagles. I bet Russell Wilson is loving, loving it sitting on the bench. Um, yeah. Also want to highlight Mrs. Dart's son, Jackson. Uh, he had a real, real fun game. He was waiting for a touchdown to be called. Ref was holding up his hand. Did you see this?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, and he gave him a few.
SPEAKER_06:High fives the ref. I I'm 90% sure he got fined like 15 grand for it. Yeah. But it was awesome. It's worth everything.
SPEAKER_04:You know what? Worth it. Like, kind of comical. Kind of it's it looks like you're having some fun. I I'm okay with that. But we go back to the slapping of the helmet. Nah, I'm really okay with that. Like, you look like an idiot.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. That was great. Ref didn't even move. It's kind of like the New England or the uh the British guards. It's like giving them a high five. That's kind of what it felt like. You're touching the guy, you're not supposed to. What's gonna happen? Yeah. So it's pretty cool. Uh Falcons dominating the Bills. Bills hit a little bit of a uh a wet fart. Uh, we got Dijon Mustard Robinson, hit 238 yards, 81 yard big boy, take over Buffalo 24 to 14. Also, the Falcons' defense in that game was harder than a pack of old play-doh. That's right, baby. Oof. Had four sacks, two nose picks, and a crying preschooler. Yeah. They look pretty solid. Um, in the AFC, really looks like an NFL team playing against a couple high school teams. Steelers manhandled the Browns. Their uniforms stayed brown. Ravens, they're another bird that's gone down. It's I'm the bird flu was going around this year, so I gave them a little haul pass there.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Bengals, God bless their heart, tried something new. They bring in an old guy. Didn't work. Let's see what happens this week. Patriots handled New Orleans. I'm not even gonna try to say Cashan Butts name, but he had two touchdowns. So if you had him, good luck finding him with that spelling. Booty. Booty. Sea Hex, Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence, hair still long, still pretty straight. Um yeah, they lost. Colt's still looking good. Jonathan Taylor Thomas from Home Improvement had another touchdown. He is having a good year with Daniel Jones, who looks like Peyton Manning's cousin out there the way he runs, but he's fast. And then the Chiefs they're looking pretty good. They're coming coming around. Despite the flex.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. They um the the scary thing is I feel like always, I mean, it it's just like anything else. Just like just like with hockey, just like with baseball with teams hit uh heating up at the right time, the Chiefs always seem to figure it out, and I'm gonna tip my hat to Andy Reed. Yeah. Um also, I hate to say it, you gotta tip your hat to Patrick Mahomes because he's under center and making some audible calls or doing what he has to do to be a leader. Um, but then they're gonna get rice back and they're gonna have all these weapons, and they're they'll de their defense was tightened up. It's I liked it better when they were just fumbling around. Um but mostly it was like back when the Patriots were always good, and then they lose. You're like, okay, things look good. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:I respect them. Like they're good.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, I yeah, yeah. It's a hard thing to continue to win. Um But right now, if you said who is your who's your pick to win the Super Bowl?
SPEAKER_06:Dude, I don't have a pick. That's why like kind of this season, what's going on, like everyone's been kind of like up to the biggest. Ebbs and flows. Just it's yeah, it overall, like it it feels like anyone could win at any day, any time. I know everyone says that every year, but that's how I feel today. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Um injuries. Yeah, yeah. Let's do uh I'm just gonna go over one big one. Um, these poor Niners fans, I feel like for the past four years, they've just been watching their team fall apart liter literally in front of them on the field. Um, once again, another nasty injury. They didn't reshow the replay, which is always not a good sign. Um, Fred Warner, their big linebacker, suffered a dislocated fractured ankle. Um, he that's a season ender. There's a couple other ones. Um Antonio Gibson did it in week uh week five, but they finally confirmed it as in this week that they're like, he's done. Um he tore his ACL. Um I guess we'll do one more. Travis Vokolik. I don't know if I'm saying that right, tight end for the Cardinals, um, neck injury. You never like to see that either, something that's you know along your spinal column. Uh season ending there, which you know, good caution there. You don't want to come back to, like I said, leading with the crown of your helmet in this game with a neck injury.
SPEAKER_06:So I mean the 49ers, like right now, they kind of feel like um uh space jam first half against the monstars, and like the ambulance is driving out onto the court they blew up the pig or whatever it was, he lands and just takes someone off every time. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, it's just like every like every week I like look at it and I'm like, geez, another guy's down, another guy's down. It's it's it's insanity. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Are you talking and changing the font size?
SPEAKER_04:Yes, I am. I was just trying to get it so I was just trying to get it so um this guy could walk and chew gum at the same time, folks. I'm telling you, man. But my shoes are velcro. My shoes are velcro. Um all right, let's move on to our statistics. Um we haven't been hitting our Thursday night football. But you know what?
SPEAKER_06:That's only because we can guess it right.
SPEAKER_04:That's correct. Yeah. Um cleared that up. But I think if you look at who we picked in those Thursday night football games, like I think the the majority of people that are like, yeah, I have a feeling this team will win, would probably agree with us.
SPEAKER_06:So it's just been unlucky, I guess. So what my coworker's trying to say is we're still smart.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Right? I mean, we did we did much better this week than last week, but last week.
SPEAKER_06:Last week was a training. It was 28% overall. This week we were back in the 60s, high 60s, I might add. Passing passing grade. Some classes, probably not an honors class. But yes. We're pretty good. 10 for 15.
SPEAKER_04:And not only were we 10 for 15 on just the moneyline picks, but we also hit again on the brotherly bet, which was a four-legger instead of a two-legger. So we went from two to four. And we're like, you know what? Why not? Let's do it. And we did it. For plus three ten. Four fingers. That's right.
SPEAKER_08:Oh boy. Oh boy, we hit it. What do you think? See that like my clubhouse? You want to do another bet? Four legs or two? Oh, two.
SPEAKER_04:Alright. Um let's do our predictions. Thursday night, we're changing, we're changing the Mojro here, Grant. We're gonna hit Thursday night football.
SPEAKER_07:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Let me get to it. Um, did you write down all the weekly pre-picks?
SPEAKER_06:Of course I did. I'm definitely not doing this right before, and I'm definitely not stalling right now, as you're just looking at me. You know, I'm just talking and we're just walking. And um before it.
SPEAKER_04:There we go. Yeah, yeah, of course I do. So we got remember home teams always first. Thursday night football on prime. Cincinnati Bengals against your Pittsburgh Steelers. Grant, go ahead and predict our winner.
SPEAKER_06:The yellow towel belongs to wait, is that hold on. Is that Mickey Mouse? How how do his ears fit through his helmet?
SPEAKER_04:Look at that.
SPEAKER_08:Is that a is that a kicker's helmet? It could. It could be. It could be. Oh boy. I hope they don't touch me.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:15 yards.
SPEAKER_04:Rough and we're taking the Pittsburgh Steelers. And you know what? We're giving up five and a half points here. And I'm gonna go on a little tangent since Tom's not here. The Browns traded away Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, which Tomlin was like, I don't know why you would give a division rival a quarterback when they're slumping around in that quarterback room. Like, I don't know why you would do that. I think he's pissed off. I I think I think they're gonna bring a lot of pressure to Joe Flacco, and I think they're gonna try to put him on his ass all game long. As you would say, like, isn't that what every defense wants to do? Um But they got they got a hell of a hell of a line right now that's moving. They got a bunch of guys that are moving. Our linebackers are moving and they're just rotating in and out, and I think everyone's staying fresh. So I'm gonna say Pittsburgh money line, but I really like the spread here. I really like the five and a half points. Um I think Flacco will get his. You know, he's still been doing it for 20 years, just like Rogers. And he's got two weapons that he can just if he gets it in the area, they'll catch it. Um, but I like Pittsburgh money line here. All right, there's my tangent. Moving on. Um then we move into our beautiful Sunday football, which starts in the morning again. We love these across the pond games, these poor back in line people. I think I know. We got Jacksonville Jaguars against the Los Angeles Rams.
SPEAKER_06:Grant, we're choosing. So we're choosing the Rams, and I think in the Rams quarterback room, let me just give some insight. I talked to Adam Schefter. Actually, I just read his tweets. And he said in the quarterback room or defensive room at the Rams. They're trying to get after Trevor Lawrence and tickle him. Back to you.
SPEAKER_04:That'll do it. That would that would do it. Um we're taking we got Tennessee Titans at home against the New England Patriots. Patriots over the Titans. I think this is a I think this is a show-em game for Frabel. So I think he's gonna have a nice little speech for the boys. I think he's gonna get them going. He's gonna look at Drake May, his little Tom Brady, and go go out there and sling it. Um Cleveland Browns against the Miami Dolphins. This is gonna be one hell of a game. Who are we taking grant?
SPEAKER_06:I think uh the St. Gabriel of Dillon will come through against the Dolphins.
SPEAKER_04:So we're picking Browns. And we're also gonna say that if that happens, if the Browns go ahead and normally come into town, they they they beat the Dolphins. We think McDaniel's gonna get rifted on Tuesday. We think that'll be it. I mean, once you once one head coach, once one team bites the bullet and gets rid of a coach, it's kind of a waterfall here. They're like, all right, they did it. We got permission. We can do it. So McDaniel's on the hot seat for sure. Um another division game, Kansas City Chiefs against the Raiders. The Raiders coming to Arrowhead. Big spread here. It was like, I think it's 10 and a half. It maybe moved up to 11. Grant, pretty sure this one's obvious. Yeah, taking the Chiefs. Um I mean, that's a lot of points. Last year, same thing happened. Raiders came into town and they beat him. Um, but it doesn't, it doesn't look like the Raiders are doing much this year. Uh, we got the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers. We got the 0-6 Jets.
SPEAKER_06:So soon to be. Rookie number seven. Soon to be one and six going with the Jets for their first W.
SPEAKER_04:I think I think after that absolute atrocious showing in London, I think they're gonna kind of kitchen sink it here and do more things to win. Because I mean, clearly throwing the ball, what, for 45 yards ain't gonna cut it. Um it's just our opinion. I and and we also did look when we were talking about this. The Panthers, yes, they are three and three, I believe, but they are 0 and 3 on the road. So they've only won at home. So until you prove to me that you can go on the road and win, I'm not gonna back you to win on the road. Um our beautiful Bears against the New Orleans Saints. Chicago Bears. Yep. We're gonna say they're gonna tighten up a little bit. Um, they had a lot of sloppy penalties, but they had a lot of takeaways in that game. Um, first of all, Washington Commanders, why why are you not under center on that last play of the like it's raining? You gotta run the clock out, you have a lead. Right. Why are you even taking why why are you giving that much distance for for that? Just like figure it out. I don't know. I I get it. You're uh I actually I don't get it, but I don't get it.
SPEAKER_06:Someone's saying, hey Jaden, put some gloves on. Like, yeah, come on, it's leather. You know what happens when leather gets wet? Yeah. Sit on a leather couch in the summer and you notice it's a little sweaty. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Um like we're oven mitts. Let's go. We were watching, so we were watching a show, and I had the bears game on my phone, and Rory is still in. Yeah, Rory is still in the room with us, so he's sleeping, she's watching the show. I'm like staring at my phone. I see the ball hit the ground, and the bears like jump on it, and I'm like punching the air so quietly. And he's like turning to me, and I'm like, they fumble a football. I'm like whispering as manly as I can. She's like, what is wrong with you? I'm like, we might win.
SPEAKER_05:And she's like this yeah, yeah, loser. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:So yeah. You you're a dork. Um, all right, we got Minnesota Vikings at home against the Philadelphia struggling Eagles.
SPEAKER_06:So we got the Vikings on this one.
SPEAKER_04:We're gonna run through these quick.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, let's let's Denver Broncos.
SPEAKER_04:All right, Denver Broncos, New York Giants. Broncos.
SPEAKER_06:That's gonna be a good game. I'll say that yeah. Chargers, Colts. Colts also gonna be a good game. Yes, Cowboys, Commanders. Uh, Commanders also gonna be probably a bad game.
SPEAKER_04:Probably a shootout, I'd think. I don't know. Uh Commander's got a better defense than the Cowboys. The Cowboys have like, they look like Swiss cheese. Um Cardinals, Packers. Packers. Yeah, they just I can't figure out the Packers.
SPEAKER_06:Um they can't figure themselves out either, so we're not alone.
SPEAKER_04:Man, it's it's like I watch these games. I'm like, whoa. You look so explosive like two drives ago, and then you come out and you look like a high school team. I don't with the same guys out there. It's it's crazy.
SPEAKER_06:Um 49ers, Falcons. Falcons, also another explosive team. Might want to take some time.
SPEAKER_04:Um yes. Difficult to travel as far as they're traveling, but the Niners, like, like I said, so many injuries for the Niners right now. Um, even poor Mac Jones is he's nursing like a knee injury, an oblique injury, like he's beaten up pretty good. So Lions, Buccaneers, this is one where we sat there and I'm like, I don't know. I don't I agree with our pick. But then again, that's like I like if we're talking spreads, maybe we would take like we talked about that, like the Bucks are getting five and a half points. That's a lot of points. Baker Mayfield is an MVP candidate right now, the way he's playing. Guy's a unit, and do you have to watch him talk to the press? It is amazing. I I will sit here and continue to send you stuff because I send you guys like a thousand things. But he says, just like he's just so himself. Like he just it is what it is. He's open for sure. He's yeah, yeah. It's just it's I'm so happy he's not a Browns anymore.
SPEAKER_06:This is a game like he's not on the Browns. I mean, we talked about this one for a little while. It was almost like we need to look and see like where are the tan, you know, where are the Buccaneers gonna be staying when they're in Detroit? Is it a Radisson, a Holiday in, or a Marriott? Let's look up the reviews. Do they have a pool? Or like the Lions? Pool and spa. Is anyone getting any fights at home? Yeah. You know, how's the home life? Anyone have any kids?
SPEAKER_04:You know, yeah. Yeah, we think we think the Lions will pull it out. Um, I think Campbell make it a mission to be like, we'll we're better than what we showed um than than last week.
SPEAKER_06:So putting on all the time.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. Then we got Seahawks and the Texans. Seahawks are at home, so Seahawks. Yeah, that 12th man might might make a difference here. Um, but man, they're playing. Sam Darnold finds finds another team. Um yeah, and but you know what? He's making good throws. He threw a 60-yard bomb, the jigma. He's doing what he he's doing what he should be doing. And then he's he's not making too many mistakes and he's letting his defense make plays. So team game.
SPEAKER_06:So let's go over the brotherly bet because the child mentioned a check.
SPEAKER_04:Alright, so I put this in asterisk in my book that this is a risky play. But we're letting you know this is what we are doing. If you want to ride with the brothers, great. If you We have four legs. If you like two of them and you want to bunch those two together, great. If you like three of them and you want to bunch those together, great. If you don't like any of them, great. But this is what we're doing. Tom sent us some. Um, and then we took some risks. We went back to our our bet predictions, and we're like, we're gonna kind of throw in some teams that we picked that we think that they're gonna win, and we're gonna see what the odds come out.
SPEAKER_06:They're a little aggressive, but when you won the past, don't sound aggressive.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it's everything is po like you said, this is the NFL. Anything is freaking possible at this point. So we ride. Um, we're starting with Thursday night football. We're gonna give you a Thursday night football pick, anyways. We said Steelers are gonna win. So we're putting the money line. That's our first leg. Bada boom. How you doing? Done. One for one. And with our other team, we're taking the Bears at home against the Saints. They looked good. Um Ben Johnson is doing what he needs to be doing. Caleb Williams, although he puts himself into some positions that maybe are questionable, he's doing that less, I feel like. I feel like he's doing that less. Like if he can just chuck the ball out, rather than like last year, yeah, he would like run around like it's Madden, you know. And you're like, dude, just like just throw the play's dead, throw the football away, throw the football away.
SPEAKER_06:I didn't like what Jake Moody, by the way. I will say that.
SPEAKER_04:I didn't like I don't I didn't know who this guy was.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, he was like, Yeah, yeah, I didn't even know who he was. I'm like, who are you? Shut up. Right. It's your second year in the Lag Buddy. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:And you live in the city. Jake Moody's been around for a while. Yeah. So you probably watched him kick for the Niners for a while. So he should have been like, I like I know who he is, or I know who he was. Can't wait to get to know him. Right.
SPEAKER_06:You know, can't wait to see what he's about.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, like he could have just said, hey, you know, it's my it was my first time meeting him. Right. Something. Like, don't say like I didn't even know who he was. Like he sounded like an idiot. Oh, I'm so sorry.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Um, all right. So we have Pittsburgh moneyline, Bears moneyline. We're taking the Colts money line against the Chargers on the road. That's plus 110. So the first two were all minus. So Pittsburgh was minus 260, Bears were minus 245. Now we're getting a little risky here. Colts moneyline plus 110, and then we're taking the Jets. This is people probably won't like the Jets move. But we had the we had a little player prop last week with a Jets player. So we're gonna say that they figured out Aaron Glenn gets his first win as a head coach at plus 105. And altogether, it's plus 771 on Traff Kings, or if you use, I use Bet 365, plus 739. That being said, Grant, since you wagered, you wagered so much money last week, it was an astronomical amount of money. If you don't, I prefer on the number on the cast. If you don't, a dollar. So I yeah, I I've been sticking anywhere from five to ten. Like the ones I really liked, like the past two weeks, like we won the Dallas and the Detroit one, I bet ten bucks on it. I'm like, I like that. I think those will hit. Then the next week, I was like, I like that too. So I'm gonna bet ten bucks. This one's a little risky, but the higher the risk, obviously the higher the reward. So if you just put down less, you still get a pretty hefty payout. So like if you if you wager five bucks, it's around 35. So like that's that's great. We didn't do that, we wagered a little bit more because this would be an awesome win. So we believe in ourselves and we're gonna roll the dice.
SPEAKER_06:And we're two two for two, going for the turkey. Yeah, two for two here, and then next week it'll be the ham bone.
SPEAKER_04:Hambone. Dishes and pudding.
SPEAKER_06:This is not pudding.
SPEAKER_04:Um, yeah, and and even like our other ones, like the ones that you know we thought we put together, was around 10 bucks lower odds, right? So we're rolling with it. We'll say it one more time, Grant. Bears, Colts, Jets, and the Steelers. All money lines. Get it in before Thursday night football. This episode, episode 11, will drop tomorrow morning. But don't worry, folks, if you follow us on Instagram at the Brotherly Bat Podcast, you will see these video clips posted to give you a little insight on what we're talking about here on the pod.
SPEAKER_06:So like, subscribe, and follow.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, if you hit that little if you listen on Spotify when you hit that little please follow. I need to buy Halloween candy for my trick-or-treaters this year. We need candy to eat at the house. All right. Now I'm I'm seriously, when I'm editing this, I'm literally gonna go down a Halloween tangent and write down all my ideas. So what's your favorite candy? It can't be easy. That's gonna be one. That will be one. That's a good starter. Alright. You got anything left for us, Grant?
SPEAKER_06:Oh! Alright, I got I got one real quick. Okay. So since you love to chew a lot of gum. On average, how much gum might an MLB or NFL team eat during an entire season?
SPEAKER_04:Oh my god. See, I'm awful with these though. Like every time that you asked me this, remember the Gatorade one? I was off by like a million. Yes.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, yeah, that was a lot, that was bad. Ooh, go back and listen to it. Episode two. Oh, it's a spoiler alert. I chew a lot of gum. So does the Steelers guy. It's so gross. How much gum he has. Danny Bubbleyum. What's the name? Get it. Get it. I'm not gonna tell you it. Get it. Danny special team Danny. It's such a basic last name for a white man or a black man. Danny Johnson? I don't know. Like Smith. Yeah, Danny. Yeah, but it's valid. Okay, so we got Danny Smith who literally has a thousand. And it's so disgusting. But it's so how much gum do you think is it by MLB team? I'm just saying MLB team, but I'll give some examples too. So, for example, big gum chewers, Pete Carroll. Choose three packs of gum per game, which is 15 pieces. So obviously he's a bubble yum guy. Five five pieces. Right? It's watermelon original flavor. If you want to swallow that. So he's eaten 260 pieces per season. It's gonna be more than that. Right? And that's and that's just one player. Yeah. Terry Francona is an example. Cleveland Guardians. Big guy. Um I gotta go through here. Where did he go? He's gone. See, he's out there fucking chewing gum. He chewed more gum. So since he's gone, I'm just gonna let you guess. On average.
SPEAKER_04:An MLB team is it throughout the season? Throughout the season. Okay, so 162 games. Let's say playoffs too, so we'll say 170. We'll say there's what is it? Is it a 40-man roster? That seems like too much. Yeah, I feel like it's 30. 25? Okay, so we'll say okay, so we'll do easy math and we'll do 30.
SPEAKER_06:You can even say you can even say how many packs do you think are in a single game.
SPEAKER_04:How many packs in a single game for a team? 120.
SPEAKER_06:That's actually pretty close. So there's only a few examples of this, by the way. So some of the big big gum brands. So we got bazooka, we got bubble yum is here and there, but then big league chew is a big one. As it should be. Right? So they got the giant ass buckets. Buckets. Yeah. Yep. So double bubble. Over the course of the season, a MLB team consumes roughly between 10 to 20,000 pieces of gum. Or for reference, 144 packs per game.
SPEAKER_04:Jesus.
SPEAKER_06:Which that's probably the amount that I chew on a golf course.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, for sure. And you don't golf every day like these guys are playing baseball.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. I mean, I would have no teeth left. Actually, I want to play baseball just so I could chew gum.
SPEAKER_04:You should start a 16-inch men's league so you just so you can chew gum.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Why'd you start it? For the love of the game? Did you used to play neither of those? Yeah. Yeah. I don't smoke. It's a disgusting habit.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Ashtray? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:No. I don't smoke. It's a disgusting habit.
SPEAKER_06:But I think Terry Francona went through like three, four hundred pieces of gum in a game. I mean, your jaw just has to be like on fire. He just popped them in, spit them out. It's brutal. That's great. Jeez.
SPEAKER_04:So there you go. All right. And on that note, bubble isous note. We're going to get you out of here. Thanks for listening to the brotherly bet. We're your hosts, um, Jack. I am Grant. Adios. And we'll see you later.
SPEAKER_02:Hot takes bull bets zero regret, yo. Locked in with the brotherly bet. Hot takes bull bets. Zero regret, yo, locked in with the brother.
