I am your humble host, Colton, Cole 45 Soroka, and I am just to recap everything that has happened in week one of the NFL and look into week two.
I gotta be honest with you my friends, before I bring in my partner here, the man that always sits to my left, the cohost of the TTL pod and OO, the cohost of the Wise Words Podcast, I'm living in a bit of a parallel universe here. You know me, no bones, nothing held back here on this side of the table. I am tripping the fuck out this morning. The guy we talked to yesterday for this Wise Words, I cannot believe this is my real life and we are actually doing this dog on thing.
Gonna talk about a little bit in motivation minutes, but I can't tell you guys enough, chase your passions, go pursue your dreams, if you want something, go after it, because I'm telling you it is possible, it takes a lot of work, the responsibility is in your plate, it is all on your lap, but you are not alone. You can do it. I just had to get that out this morning, give some good vibes, let you know what we're doing, but let me bring in the aforementioned cohost of the TTL pod and Wise Words Podcast, the resident cheesehead fan himself, cheesehead straight up, he's not a cheesehead fan, he's just a cheesehead on what I'm saying, but he's starting to turn that frown upside down. Mondays blues are starting to go away a little bit, he cast some tickets last night and he's ready to rock and roll for episode 124, so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, the man, the myth, the degenerate, gambling legend himself, Mr.
Riley, R. Mags, Maggasm, Barnard, how you doing over there today, pal? My man, I cannot be better as you mentioned, cash, if you take it last night, Mr. Derek Carr, almost doubled my over yardage ticket that I had, 258 was the number he had well over 400, so we're feeling pretty damn good, hell of a Monday night football game, these prime time, well two out of the three prime time games, did not disappoint.
Inject it in the ball series, man, what a wild finish, a little bit of everything, awesome football, terrible football, everything that I love, so, you know what John Gruden said last night, he said, you know I just felt like cat in the mind, died a couple times and came back to life, absolute electricity, but you had a ravens and seriously, and a corner full, we go anywhere, we gotta get it out the way. To me, to you, Nate, appreciate you tuning in, shout out to you as well, thanks for jumping in the chat, hey, any of you watching, you drinking that black elixir with the gods this morning, you know the drill, get you a sip. Oh, child please. Every morning it just runs smoother and smoother here at the Talking to Line production studios, my man, bears fan right here in the house, bear, Don, and then obviously, Pat go, maybe she's had himself, so we'll talk a little bit about that for sure, I got some, we'll talk about our own teams here, you know, things I gotta get off the chest, but before we do all of that my friends couple key things we got to talk about, we gotta talk about the aforementioned money night football game, we got some bets coming out of that as always, you know the drill.
Uh, so, let's take a quick look at those, my friends. Here you go, right above us, mags, I told you guys, hey, be a little tentative on that Derek car, you know, I'm not doing certain, a little weird of a projection, well mags gave me the finger, and then Derek car gave me the double finger, and threw for 450 plus, you know, couldn't believe it, I didn't end up playin it, I'm very chapped about that. However, mags goes to in one on the day, I go two and two, that should have been an under game, my friends, it was just an absolute shit showin' a half, you all saw it, but an absolute beautiful game, and if you do follow me on the action app, you saw that I added the money line sprinkle at the inn and added some hammers in the description, so even better. So, even better of a time to remind you guys, if you miss a live show, you happen to skip over something, whatever the case might be, and you got the action network app, follow me at cash underscore with underscore cold, rival is at R mags in all caps, and then when we have the regular shows right now through the NFL season, Monday, Thursday, and Friday, you can follow all the TTL best bets of the day at talking the lot.
I know, super hard to remember. All that being said, yesterday's best bets of the day as a crew, we went four and three, so a positive in my book, not bad at all. Really wish I would have put out that money line, because I got higher and higher on it at day, and it started at 185 and dropped to 160, so next time, I'll just say I'm with that bad boy. Regardless, absolutely beautiful day from the TTL crew, and we keep cash and tickets, part of it.
We do. Great third. One of the Friday through Monday, great Friday through Monday. Yeah, so if you followed us through the MLB season, our apologies.
We never claimed to be MLB handicappers, but we did claim to be sharps when it comes to NFL and college football, and we're definitely back in those words up now. So, enough to know our own horns. We ain't here to do that shit. We're here to give those winners to you guys when we have them.
We ain't got nothing in regards to that, but we do have a L O A D E D show in all caps. We'll talk about week one. We'll kind of give you some of our overall outlooks. We'll go game by game, kind of like we did for the past Friday's show, two Fridays ago, I guess, when we did the CFP special edition.
We'll go game by game, talk a little bit about each one overall. It looks maybe some betting trends to look through, some different things like that, and then also some guys who had huge fantasy performances. Is that maybe their ceiling, or are they going to stay there? They're going to drop stuff like that.
Then we'll segue right into week two. We'll talk about games kind of upcoming, some ones that were already targeting. We actually, in our recording for Wise Words yesterday, our guests kind of targeted us onto a few lines that you guys are definitely going to want to tune into because little hint, he may or may not be one of the sharpest of the sharps in the NFL market, and he may or may not have used the NFL. He may or may not have used to be on ESPN because of how big his brain is in those NFL markets.
Who's to say, who's to say, who's to say, who are we, we don't really know much, but what I do know is you probably should tune into Wise Words tomorrow. We'll talk about all that. We'll talk about the betting markets. We'll talk about maybe some potential waiver targets.
You should check out in your fantasy league. We'll be covering everything in the NFL today, and I will be sure to be the good producer that I can be. You know, Co-45 has to be the host sometime, has to be the producer. So I'll keep clicking back and forth between our recording software and YouTube so I can keep answering it.
And, oh, 49ers dominated the Falcons. We dominated the Falcons. Oh, yeah. I hope that Eagles can keep that up, man.
We actually talked about that with our guests for Wise Words last night, too. Is it just the fact that the Falcons, we might have to come to terms with that shitty? And, man, if you guys listen to the NFL previews, I'm talking left, right, and center about Arthur Smith, man. And, you know, I think we need everybody relaxed, but I think Eagles are that damn good.
I think Sirionni has got something going on, and we'll talk about it definitely a little bit more in depth, but, man, oh, man, from both sides of the spectrum there. And then I think the 49ers have a hell of a shot out of it. We actually talked about that, too. We covered a shitload with him in the NBA.
We talked about the NFC West in depth, so that is definitely something you want to key into as well. So we got some opinions out of that. We'll talk there, too. So, holy shit.
Great episode coming tomorrow, and we have a bolo to talk about today. So, my friends, strap in, get ready. First half, first segment, whatever you want to call it, episode 124. We'll go for about the usual hour, maybe bleed into an hour and a half somewhere in there.
We'll keep it as tight as possible. Here we go. Week one, recapped. All right, let's get right into it.
First things first. My friend. Let's get these bad boys rocking and rolling again. All right.
Hi, wonderful, wonderful issues here. All right, here we go. So, obviously, we'll start Thursday, and then we'll get into Sunday. We'll take a look at yesterday evening as well, and then we'll look at plenty of other stuff in addition.
So, there we go. There we have it. Now, we make sure all of this is going good. Yep.
All right. So, obviously, we had the Dallas and Tampa Bay game. We talked about that pretty much in-depth on Friday show. Gave some pretty good insights on top of that.
Outside of what we really already talked about, I don't know that we can draw a whole bunch from Dallas's production. They looked really solid. They looked really good. And everybody's over the moon that Dak Prescott's back.
It's all fences back. And I'm kind of thinking the tune of, wait a minute, just settle down here for a second. Everybody cool out. Because it looked very, very strangely similar to last year's team to me, if I'm being honest.
You know, get right down to the end of it. They have that opportunity. Dak forces them down the field. They get the field goal and give the opposing quarterback, who's generally elite.
90 seconds plus to work down the field and all they need is a field goal. This week, it happened to beat Tom Brady. Ouch. And I don't think that they're going to be able to live and die by those field goal games this year.
I think they're going to die more often than not. Now, it's for the Bucks, why I kick it to you, partner. I'm kind of worried. I don't know.
I know now we have the quarterback that got injured. Why am I thinking? Oh, Sean Murphy Bunting is definitely out now for at least the next three weeks at IEL. So that's going to be interesting to see how they replace him.
They obviously put Jamel Dean in, slotted him in right behind him. And Dak just targeted him all night long. So, it's going to be a little bit of a question mark there on defense. And, man, if you watch the season preview that we gave for the bucket of years, we were high as shit on that defense.
And now the front seven was able to still generate their pressure, but that secondary is kind of leaving a little bit to be desired. So they're going to have to clean that up. And then also, I thought the offense would be just a little more explosive. I know they scored a bunch of points.
I know they were really, really good, but majority of that was just a big AB bombs. Mike Evans was virtually nonexistent. Chris Godwin had a few times here there. He was good.
He was good across the board. But I think they just, I was expecting a little bit more cohesion. I might be overreacting a little bit much, but I was just expecting that full cohesion to come. But then I think back to it and fuck, it was last Thursday and God scored two touchdowns.
So what am I talking about at the end of the day? What do you think? For the most part, I'm kind of sitting in your same tunes here. I think I want to see both of these teams once again here.
I kind of echo what you're saying about the Bucks defense. I was expecting more from the Bucks defense. I got their offense. I mean, maybe, you know, just a fairytale you would expect after last year, the Bucks to put up 40 points on this Cowboys defense.
I think they did what they needed to do in week one opening night. But that defense, like you said, I was expecting a little bit more. I think for Cowboys fans, you know, I don't think they should be over the moon about their Super Bowl chances. I mean, they're super ball eyes.
I actually checked. They got worse coming into today, which tells me that the books don't think they're going to get that far. Obviously, you're a lot more optimistic about Dak Prescott, though. He looks fantastic.
He really did. Sure. And so, you know, I think as far as that, you can definitely hang your hand on. And they obviously will talk about it in week two, but they get another tough opponent in the Chargers here in week two.
So I think we're going to learn a lot here another game or so here with the Cowboys coming into this next week. Sure enough, 31, 29 final score in case y'all had forgot to tie it. Next game up on tap. The first Sunday game, first noon game.
We'll get into the Sunday slate here kind of discuss that. And then once we kind of give our overall outlooks, because I think we'll go pretty fast through these. Then we'll kind of dive into the betting trends and stuff, look at and then some fantasy stuff to look at too. So we'll just go game by game for kick things off here.
So first game that kicked off the noon slate on Sunday, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers. If you didn't see the Carolina Panthers CGI on Twitter, the fucking Panther going all over the game. Next reality or something. Yeah, whatever that is.
Absolutely electric Baltimore, try to outlast you. If you didn't see that, you guys got to go watch that. It's on their Twitter page and that shit was cool as can be. But that's besides the point.
1914 final score. I actually had a little side bet sprinkled on this. I didn't end up playing it. We told you guys to stay away from this one at the five and a half drop.
They have three and a half. What the hell's going on? They ended up covering it. But either way, well, they didn't cover the five and a half if that's where I would have locked in that.
So that really hurts. I had him over 24 and a half points. Obviously he only needed it. He only needed one more touchdown to get that.
I think they get some things figured out offensively. I was really impressed with Sam Donald, honestly. He looked more like a. I don't want to say it generally yet, but whatever's below it.
Yeah, that's very important. Yeah, he's not. He's not seeing ghost. He's not a corporal anymore.
He's got a name for himself is what I'm trying to say. And I think that he continues to build upon that. I think that Robbie Anderson in Donald connection is very, very real. I think we need to pay attention to that.
Now, as far as Christian McCaffrey goes, do you have the stats right in front of you? I don't have it pulled up. I know he had a nice day. I think he had somewhere around 100 yards on the ground.
Nine catches close to 100 yards. I mean, he had a pretty damn thing. He's going to continue to produce. And let me see.
Just so I got it for you guys. Yeah, he had 21 carries for 98 yards, 27.7 fantasy points, nine catches for 89 receiving yards. So yeah, CMC is back to CMC. I'm very upset.
I was like in my hands on him this year when we turned it into a dynasty. Right. Son of a beach. Either way, man, oh man.
I think that Caroline is going to improve offensively. Now defensively. I was really high on him when we did the season preview. So I think that they're going to continue to do the exact same things that we saw.
And even though the Jets, okay, they're definitely going to still be the Jets. Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, I don't know exactly what's in was running for his absolute life. He did the best with what he could. So I think this Panthers team is going to be a force to reckon with across the board this season.
And as far as the Jets, not much I can write home about Michael Carter hasn't flashed yet. I'd still am waiting to see exactly when that'll be. And then the receivers, it looks like they're going to get back James and Crowder this week. That'll definitely help a little bit.
But man, they still just know. They're also just right. They're also not good together. But that's overall part.
Yeah, the one thing as far as the Jets that kind of validates what we talked about in the previews, they're running max combined for 17 carries 45 yards for a 2.6 average. Like you said, Michael Carter, until if or until he does break out that'll obviously help. But until then this running game is going to be rough. I don't think it matters who they're playing.
And like we said, Zach Wilson's going to do the best of what he can. But he doesn't have a lot to do with what he can. So I props to him. I think we're going to see flashes from Zach all season long.
But it's going to be tough on this year. Jeff's Panthers questions. Drop them over there. Second game on the tap that was on Sunday.
The noon slate. This one we actually had is one of our local games being in Chicago land. Minnesota Vikings sits in at the Bengals. It's actually a fucking game and I have ended up going to OT.
And I looked at you as it because you were over here while we were watching it. And I looked at you. I said, wouldn't you know Vikings week one game goes to overtime. I mean, it's just this Vikings team is in my mind.
And I was talking about it when we were talking about it in the season previews. Man, I think it is very accurate to our prediction. They are the same classic Minnesota Vikings. And I think that's what we're going to see.
They struggled, struggled, struggled against the Bengals for crying out loud. 24, 27, shoot out the the Bengals. Obviously one with the field goal at the end. Joey Bee getting his first double and back.
Hey, and some night gots to say we talked about it and I said, Hey, you know what, I don't think it's going to be that big of a deal. You kind of like, yeah, I think so too. I think there's a bit of an overreaction. I said, John Marancha March.
Absolutely silence. Yeah. The fucking crowd. Seven targets.
Zero drops. 100 in five hundred and ten yards. Yeah, 101. Yeah, 101.
Absolutely electric performance from the man. I was tweeting about it all day long. Oh, apparently those that white stripe doesn't mean all two of the March chase does it. So I am so, so, so happy that I got him on my dynasty team.
If you were able to as well, I'm sure you are absolutely ecstatic after kind of the tune that had totally changed. Yeah. And in the week one, everybody was like, sell, sell, sell, stay away. And then he does this.
And I left him on my bench. Yeah. Very, very disappointing. Might have been able to get a dump fantasy with that.
But man, I am excited to see what this Bengals offense can do. Honestly, I avoid a little out of the picture. We got to kind of wait and see what's going to happen there. But set it back in the preview.
I think all these Bengals receivers are going to have their data fees and they're all going to feast at the same time at some point here. Right. I can still have a decent defense. They still can get things done from time to time.
That's my opinion. I think it's going to be classic. My game of Vikings and then I think the Bengals. Hey, hey, hey, is that Taylor might not be so hot after all?
Yeah. Yeah. How see do you mean? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. No, 100%. I mean, this definitely cools them off.
I mean, the Vikings, man, we're a little bit biased because we obviously don't like the Vikings. So we have some biases there. But I think we're going to see these types of games from them week in and week out. And from a gambling perspective, I might be just staying away from them because I think, I mean, they could have won this game in the third quarter.
They could have won this game in overtime. Kurt Cousins, if you look at his stats, his numbers look good. But I mean, when it really, really mattered, he really wasn't that good. He had obviously some comeback throws when they were down to get him back into it.
But I really, I mean, I want to more from that defense against what we perceive to be an inexperienced Bengals offensive line. Not so great Bengals offensive line. So I think they're just so kind of balanced, like slightly above average across the board that they just won't excel in any area. And like I said, I think they're going to be a lot of these three point games and they're going to be tough to win or lose money on here.
Show enough, my friend. I think there's a lot of my friends. And we got to predict that when we talked about the Vikings. And I think that's a lot of the opportunities to fade them.
And I think you're spot on next game up on tap, the one that nobody predicted. And actually, if you are a gambler and you saw how the money was coming in, you probably knew how the hell this one was going to play out. Jags versus Texans. The Texans win 37 to 21.
And it looks like all of these people who just were throwing money at the worst regular season record for the hit in Texans. Looks to be in bat shape. Wrong team division to do so. Wrong team in the division right now, ladies and gentlemen.
Not good to see that from Trevor Lawrence. I'm trying to put together. I told you guys on Friday, this is going to be a vanilla, darrel, bevel, offensive. They're not going to do shit.
I don't know why you didn't believe me if you didn't. So is this a hack? I'm sorry. I love you, man.
I appreciate the hell out of you from the moment that we've met you, my guy. But and we say we still love James. We're still high on a lot of these guys fantasy wise. But Jeepers, this does not look good at all.
So to cut in on you, would you take, does this tell you more about the Jaguars or does this tell you more about the Texans? I think so. Yeah. What I believe is that they are the Keanu Reeves movie on touchables or the one ways on the football team for placements.
That's what they remind me of. A bunch of old veterans who are just on their way out and they put them together enough and holy shit. This combination of whatever Tyrod Taylor is leading down there pulled off a 37 to 21 upset against the number one overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. I don't know.
I see this as a replacements team. I see this as a team that, man, maybe they rattle off a few wins here because they get, they get very, very overlooked. And then team starts to say, okay, we can't go into Houston and Jack around. We got to go by then.
We have to have that mindset going in there. But I do think it does give me a lot for the Jags, man. It was the exact same thing we saw in the preseason. Yeah, that I say on Friday.
I said, if we, if we see in the first quarter, the exact same things that we saw in the preseason, it's gonna be a long year for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And we saw it for all four quarters. I'm a little bit nervous here. Sorry again, Zach, man.
I hope this is an overreaction on my part in week one. But I am nervous for urban intrevor, my front. Yeah, I'm right there with you on the Jags. I don't know what to expect.
I don't know. Obviously, we'll talk about their week two line here in a minute, but I don't know what to expect from them going forward. I like you. I'm a little pessimistic.
I don't know if I would go so far as I guess I kind of agree with you as far as a replacement on these Texans team. I think it's a lot of guys that are almost playing for another chance in the next year to go to be a role player on a contender, like basically a contract here, but like give me a, give me a, give me on to a good team. Mark Ingram, you know, we, I guess I'm not looking at the full box where I don't know how they involved the rest of this backfield because there's four dudes that are named noteworthy here in this backfield. Mark Ingram, 26, carries 85 yards.
Obviously that average yards carry isn't great, but Brandi Cooks is on this team five catches 132 yards. And I mean, the biggest thing here is that Tyrod Taylor, obviously, he's not glamorous, but he doesn't turn the ball over and he's not going to put his team in a position to lose 37 and 21. Typically, you're surprised to see him put 37 points up, but the point that I'm trying to make is, you know, I guess I'll save it for this week too, but he's going to keep this Texans game. These Texans games a little closer than you would probably expect.
I guess is what I'm trying to say here. Most of my friends and keeping it just steaming on down to the tracks. On to the next game, my friends are still on the afternoon slate here, the noon slate. I'm sorry.
Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, hell of a game. I was sitting here sweating that bad boy out. Let me tell you that. That was on our secondary TV of the local games.
I thought the bills had that man. I had the bills in a fucking teaser in a pickle. I had an item at plus a half in a fucking pickle. I wasn't even worried about it, man.
And that was literally the one that he told me he was the most concerned about. I ended up covering the Buccaneers because I bought a touchdown on their eight half. I ended up covering them on Thursday night. Max didn't get it.
Mine's damn alive. And then I busted on the one that he was worried about. I guess I didn't check if I would have won if Tampa would have covered that Thursday night's teaser. I don't want to look at it.
I don't want to look at it. I know the old, but that's kind of how it worked out here. Boys and girls, the Steelers defense is legit as fuck. The Steelers offense still even allowed to be desired.
I don't know how really strong the Bills front seven is. I mean, they're good. They got names. They're solid.
We talked about it. They'll be able to dial it up for time to time. But I think Jerry's still out is good enough to keep Najee Harris to 40 yards before garbage time. I just I don't know.
I'm a little nervous about that. And if they're whole the Steelers whole off season, boy, was or getting back to smash mouth, stealers, football and scrounned a pound. And that was weird. It was weird.
It was weird. And the fact that they just started slang in the rock when they were up and needed to be running the block out. I don't know if that was Tomlin saying, Hey, get one of those. I'm going to run this team.
How I want or what that was. Because they make no sense of how we predicted it. And I obviously had my proper weekend. Najee over 58 and a half.
I mean, he didn't even come fucking close. Right. So I don't know. I think defense very legit offense, very questionable.
Not worried about the Bills at all. Keep smashing your tables, kids. They're going to be concerned about this. It's just one of those that'll slip away in week one.
It sucks that it happened in Buffalo first time. You guys get them off you back in action, but hey, you'll be all right. I promise. You'll shake out the King's offense defense.
Everything looks good. Yeah. I mean, for the most part, yeah, not concerned whatsoever about these Buffalo Bills. They're very high on them, especially their offense.
Like I was kind of saying, I apologize for interrupting, but I think the jury's still out of the Bills defense. I think they'll be solid, but I am concerned about the Steelers offense, man. But this defense is damn good. They had that.
I mean, if they have defensive touchdown, special teams touchdown, I'd be shocked if they don't win that game. I would say the point block touchdown or because it's really going to take unless especially good teams like this. It's going to take a defensive touchdown, a special team touchdown or one huge play on offense for them to win a game. And I think more often times than not, they'll probably get it.
I say for maybe a few of the most dominant teams in the league, but I couldn't be mistaken. I think the Steelers actually Super Bowl ads got worse as well despite this win, which kind of just tells me that Steelers fans see this win. They're going to put money onto it. The books don't think they'll get it done.
So I guess the jury's still out, but man, the Steelers defense is going to be dangerous. Yeah, most definitely. And I don't think they can live or die also off of Chase Claypool ripping one out of the sky. They can't live on that.
They definitely want to find more. Yeah, they have to. And I mean, hey, we talked about it here on Sunday. Deont de Johnson has to say.
Hold it out. And he has to stay on the field. You're starting to use my sayings. That one.
All right. So there we go. There we have it. Let's keep it moving.
Keep it moving. Keep it moving. The proverbial train that is the TTL pod. Steem it down the tracks.
Drop questions in. You got anything there? Anything in between? Hey, we're here to answer.
We want to connect with you. Nothing off limits. Keep them rocking. Keep them rolling.
Next game up on the tap. Our best bet of the weekend. Arizona Cardinals plus three. We took that.
Should have took their money line because they put a beat down on the Tennessee Titans and Mike Vrabel 38 to 13. Sheepers, creepers. I was a little bit low on the Cardinals defense. And I need to backtrack a lot there because Chandler Jones dropping off.
What's a Chandler Jones? Yeah, Chandler Jones. Drop in five sacks. Absolutely incredible.
Look like Chandler Jones of all these said you pay me. I'll produce for you. Don't you worry. Buddha Baker looked absolutely terrific.
I had a hard time picking him out for a while with all these damn Jersey numbers changes. All that stuff. I can't figure out who's out there. And we even admittedly we look at each other and we're like, man, this is actually fucking me up more than I'd like to admit.
I got by last night. I think by last night it was starting to figure it out for him in my own break. There was a couple guys like Marquis Brown mess with me to start things off and then I started getting with it. So I think I'll eventually get with it.
Man, it was a few. And that gave me absolutely screwed with me for sure. I was like, this doesn't make any sense. And then I jumped up and down.
I was like, who the oh touchdown? Oh fuck. AB still number 11. Yeah.
That's hot. So I mean, I'm all types of messed up. It looks like Julio with a number of. It looks just like him.
It's insane. I mean, they are the they are such they are a seabird cut from the same cloth. They are they have such a similar play style. And I really hope that this week one Julio performances just the outlier.
And I told you to I did tell you in order for Julio to be in order for Julio to produce. He needs a good running game. Yeah. But I tell you yesterday, Derek Henry, then carries for nine yards, going into the fourth quarter.
It's not good. They need to get that running. I think Julio is going to be just fine. I think this Titans offense is going to be okay.
I got to see it another week. I know man. I was very, very worrisome. I don't know if the Cardinals defense is that damn good.
I was low on them going into this year, but Holy cow, no questions in my mind. Cardinals offense. I don't even need to waste any time there. They're going to be good as all.
Right. But the Titans defense going to continue to be really, really, really, really bad. So they're facing a good opponent, man. I think you fade the Titans for the time being.
I would say so too. And obviously we'll talk about again. The lines a little interesting week too. But you and I, you basically said it.
We kind of spot on predict this Cardinals offense to do this. We at least thought the Titans offense was going to put up point four or 30 points. At least a shoot out. And you know, it would have made more sense if the Falcons put up 30 points without their Smith in Atlanta.
But Atlanta comes out and leads a goose egg with our team. And Atlanta comes out and leads a goose egg with Arthur Smith, former Titans coordinator. What is going on? And the Titans come out and do this.
And it's embarrassing. And Derrick Henry looks terrible. And Ryan Tanhill is no good. And then Cardinals defensive for seven is getting massive amounts of pressure.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think that's an overreaction.
But like you said, I think the Titans offense will figure itself out here eventually because they obviously still have some great pieces. But I was concerned. I'll be honest. That was just more than concerned.
Concerning with the capital C moving right along my friends. We'll talk about a little bit more in depth. So don't you worry. Seattle ski quarks and the blue horseshoe Indianapolis Colts 12 man looked absolutely terrific.
Go Hawks. Mr. Unlimited was slang in Iraq was actually really surprised going in the fourth quarter DK Maccath had no catches. Yeah.
Was a little weird. I don't know what his number was he finished with the decent. He ended up finishing decent. But it's kind of weird that he didn't have much production and concerning that it all came in garbage time.
Yeah. Yeah. I like it. Like I said, looked absolutely terrific.
That running game 16 for 91. Not bad. OK. That's pretty damn good.
I thought that it would be a little bit less. I want to say that there were a few that were just big big rushes. Maybe I was maybe I was just a little bit off. I hope that that does not make Carroll change the entire game because letting Russ cook running the play action game and allowing that running game to produce from time to time to get them in good spots is the formula.
Don't fucking change that. Get your team back to the playoffs. I mean, you see it. And I'm afraid Russ struggles one game and Carroll just.
Out the window and I'm a little afraid that's going to happen. But man, oh man, if they play like they did this is it a Seahawks Seahawks back. They look damn good now. Also flip side of the coin.
Don't overreact. But that gum. What the hell's going on with the cold? What's happening here is is Carson wins cursed, man.
I don't want to say that. I hope he turns it around. But dog on, man, it didn't look well. It didn't look good.
Now granted is number one receiver. T Y T Y. You know, he's out of town. Right.
A commission out of commission. I just don't love their weaponry. I don't I don't either. It leaves me very puzzled in how to actually I don't know how to.
Then you've got fucking Zach Pascal out of nowhere. One handed grab at the end of the game and it's not going to guide you out on their off the line. A Pittman was virtually nonexistent. I was expecting Pittman to really elevate his game here.
It just leaves so many dog on question marks. I can't even really give an honest opinion of these guys because I just I don't know what we see from the blue horseshoe. And I thought I thought that a lot of question marks would get alleviated with Carson wins 100% year ago. Maybe he's not 100% healed.
Maybe they hurried him back. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
What are you thinking? I'm thinking, well, I think they'll struggle for the first few weeks with some of these injuries. And then I think it might be too late, but you know, come week six, seven, eight, I think they'll be much more efficient, much more effective in all facets of the game. But I think they're lacking some weapons to really keep up with the team like the Seahawks because they were just just find out super efficient 18 for 23, only 23 for Russell Wilson, but 18 out of 23, 250 yards, 254 yards for touchdowns.
I mean, that's as efficient as it gets. And you know, as far as what we see from the Seahawks plan. So late breaking. That's why you tune into the talk in the line podcast.
You don't have to go check any social media outlets. You don't have to be tuned into anything. We deliver to you right here straight from the source. Breaking handful of offensive coaches have tested positive for COVID-19 out of the Saints organization.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we still are living in this damn pandemic in uncle COVID. Keep showing his ugly ass. I'm getting about damn sick and tired of his ass, but it does call into question the game with the Panthers come here Sunday per the Saints will be just fine in quotes. I hope that we don't start having this issue again this year because we ain't rescheduled them this year.
And if there's any issues for unvaccinated guys or whatever, it's going to cause all types of issues. So, then, and then something to think about. We'll see. Continue.
No, so I guess I'll pick up right where I left off as far as the Seahawks. That is a big Kerala is people are going to pound the rock because of what he did with Chris Carson being really efficient. I think we'll see that this week. Maybe I think it might be a game to game basis because they do have Tennessee this upcoming week.
If they don't let Russ cook and throw 30 plus times in that game, I don't know what the hell they're doing because Russell Wilson should absolutely dominate that. I think it's in Seattle this time around. So, yeah, we'll talk about that in a second. But I think we'll have a few more answers as far as what that coaching staff is going to do with this offense going forward here next week.
Most of the half way through kids will pick up the pace just a little bit. So we got some extra time for the value we're finding everything the week to look ahead will be just a little bit shorter because obviously we're going to have still shows and picks and everything. So, you guys, but just some of the early shit we're seeing next game up Philadelphia Eagles Atlanta Falcons are you kind of talking about it a little bit to start the show. So, you're going to see a unique.
Appreciate you again my guy. Philadelphia obviously 136 fly Eagles fly shout out to my man RJ hems if you are watching live or watching recording at some point time. Love you my guy. Philadelphia fans might have a ray of shining light on here.
Also my guy Josh Tolentino from ISU hashtag roll birds. A couple of birds sitting right here is now a writer. That's where the Philadelphia Inquirer Insider for the Philadelphia Eagles coming from the athletic talk about a guy doing some shit graduated same time we did so only hope to live up to half and measure what that man's doing right now. So, just popped into my head and wanted to give him a shout there.
Back to the Eagles. You know, I think Sirianni might have a little something here. The whole league was laughing at him. Rock, paper, scissors, his whole shit.
The way he talks away carries himself and dapping up his players on the sideline. He's got his own, you know, the special coach or the special player handshakes. All that shit we used to do when we were players. You know what I'm talking about.
Coaches don't do that with their players in the NFL. You might have a formula going on. Hey, hey, hey, hey, I know I'm a little biased. You watch the show.
Roll some bits tied. I'd love to see my boys producing in the NFL. I'm Jamie Herst looks great. The Vante Smiths look great for touchdown play.
And that team looks really, really damn good. Obviously, I don't know how much we can hang on the defense yet because the defense was a big, big, big question mark in our mind. So I think we still got a hey, we got to see a little bit from them. And I honestly believe that the Falcons are just that bad.
And I am sorry Falcons fans. I don't think it's going to be blowing halftime leads in the fourth quarter anymore. I think you guys are just going to be getting piked. And I'm sorry.
And that might be an overreaction. That might be crazy. Arthur Smith might have it figured out because I was high as shit on Arthur Smith. I'm still high on that, right?
I'm still pretty high on carbon release still pretty high on Mike Davis. But damn, am I scared after them getting absolutely torched by Sirionny's Eagles? I don't know about you, but man, I'm looking forward to getting some advantageous lines on these Philadelphia Eagles. I think so too.
I think this next week will really tell a bigger story, obviously, that may go without saying, but just based on who they're playing this next week, I think it's going to tell a better story because this game was the one that I was my biggest question mark as far as what we were going to see in this game, what we see from these teams and I was leaning towards a Falcons. I like you. I thought Arthur Smith was going to put up 20 plus points, not six. Matt Ryan, 21 to 35, 164 yards for a 4.7 average.
That is as bad as it gets. Kyle Pitts, four catches that had eight targets, 31 yards. So I think I don't know. I don't want to say they're going to be this bad the entire season.
I have to imagine they'll get considerably better from six points down. Give it up 32. But I'm nervous and the Eagles get the 49ers like our buddy was saying. So that I mean, if they come out and smack the nineers in the mouth, then yeah, we might have a team on our hands here.
That could happen because we'll talk about it in the 49ers and Lions recap. What the hell's happening there? I don't know. I'm with you, man.
There's there's it's all good, man. Good. Smith. Look good.
There's question marks. Question marks, but I think Eagles fans, you got a ray of shining hope. I was not this high in the season preview. And now all of a sudden I'm getting excited about the Eagles chances here.
So there you go. There you have it. Let's keep it move. Next game on tap.
Out of it. Our early season favorite. Chargers football team football team being the early season favorite. I did a little live Money Line Sprinkle on them bad boys when it got up to plus one 50.
Yes. Oh, that's beautiful. Let me take it. Couldn't pull it off.
Lost in the charge of 2016. If you missed it. Obviously now we got Fitzpatrick. Oh, oh, oh, Fitzpatrick is out for at least four to six weeks.
And now we got Taylor Heineke. I didn't feel like these that my man. He didn't want that. You know, he's got the legs.
He's got a little bit more of that prowess than Finn Fitzpatrick does. And I hope you guys continue to tune into for my ensembles. I know I just I continue to just absolutely destroy it every time. But that being said, I don't think I'm concerned about this offense yet.
I don't think I'm concerned. I was everything that I saw from the Chargers defense is exactly what I believe I predicted and what I talked about. I even talked about it on Friday show. I said, man, they're back.
They're healthy. They're going to look good. My best bet of the weekend. Well, one of the most the under 44 and a half in that game stayed well under the 20 to 16.
So man, I think. I think the football team rebounds. I think I'm still going to stick for him. I mean, obviously have to I locked it in, but I'm still stick for him with him winning the NFC East East.
And then as far as the Chargers go, man, I think they're in business. I think they're in business validated. All of my, I wasn't even concerned. It was like, I just need to see it first.
And it validated me saying no sophomore slum for Justin Herbert. He looked absolutely terrific picked up right where he left off against probably what's going to finish as a top five defense in the league. So give me all of the Chargers from week to week now. No, no questions in my mind.
I'll be at it. Because they all, I mean, the football team's defense didn't play bad. The Chargers made the correct adjustments. The football team probably played a little too much man.
I think it was Keenan Allen said, I think it was Keenan Allen that said if these guys play man, we're just going to eat all day and Keenan Allen had nine catches for 100 yards. So I think the Chargers are going to be damn, damn good. They only put up 20 points. But as we're talking this football team's defense is pretty damn good.
I too think the football team bounces back just because I think that defense makes some corrections and has a better game plan going forward from a week to week basis because they'll be the Thursday night game this week. And, you know, I've got some high hopes for this week show up for sure. Yeah. I definitely have got some high opinions and things.
I'll definitely be looking at in that game. Can't wait to break all that action down. But that does it. Everything there for the football team and the charges.
Keep it moving. Keep it. Grooving. If you guys got your questions, keep dropping them down.
You think you got nothing off limits. The after the after mentioned the aforementioned 49ers in Lions game. MCTC's Lions tried to sneak in the back door and you should have saw the look on this guy's face as those sons of it giving him the most undeserved sweat of his life. Now, if you listened to the talking the line podcast on Friday, you got the cash money went.
If you sat around, you goofed around, you said, Oh, let me listen to these big names that just know everything they're talking about, but really aren't verified at all. And maybe you should actually check who you're getting your picks from it if they're playing. All of the picks, but what do I know? That's just me sipping my tea.
All that being said, we got the cover. If you followed all of them, you didn't get the cover. So I'm a little bit concerned. I got to tell you the truth for the 49ers.
