However, and whenever you please. Ladies and gentlemen and beautiful gambling people joining us on episode number 125, I am your humble host Colton, cold 45 soroka and I can't thank you enough to stop by and get some early lines, early action, early analysis for week two of the NFL season. I know you saw the title and I know you're juiced up to get some early value before anyone else. So we'll get right into it.

No questions at all. But before we do, I keep saying we, I keep saying crew, I keep saying us and I have neglected to bring in the second half of the TTL crew. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, the co-host of the talking the line podcast, also the wise words podcast and the resident cheese head of the TTL crew, the man, the myth, the degenerate gambling legend himself, Mr. Riley, our mags, Maggison.

Barnard, how you doing over there today pal? My man, no complaints as always. We've got a gorgeous Wednesday in the Windy City, a little bit of that September chill, some more validation. That football season is here in the Midwest and as always, I can't wait to dive into what we got going on today because we've got some thoughts.

We've got some opinions that we might need a little iron to out here between the two of us and I'm ready for it, man. I'm ready for some value here. I would have to agree with you, my friend. Everything you're saying there is spot on.

But before we go any further to me, to you, to you out there watching the show live or recorded, whatever the case might be, you're sipping on that black elixir of the gods. Take a sip. Cheers. Cheers.

Oh, whoa. Yep. We're going to have to come back to that. Yes, that's coffee.

All right. My friends, you saw the title. Now, if you tuned in the yesterday show, you know, it's kind of a little toss around. Sure.

We said, hey, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are going to be a little weird during the NFL season here. You're going to have to bear with us here in the interim between week one and week two. Well, we hit the lab yesterday. Matter of fact, we'd like to do a little bit of get out of the lab, go on a little fresh air, get some in the system, and cleanse the mind.

And then all of a sudden we start have good ideas coming to us. Funny how that works. Did so yesterday. And so we got everything ironed out, Tuesdays.

In case you didn't read the description down there, Tuesdays, they are going to be now as long as it's still the NFL regular season. Obviously, when college basketball, all that stuff rolls in, it'll change again. But Tuesdays during the NFL season, we will recap all of the prior week's games. If it kind of lined up with what we were thinking, maybe some key takeaways, pretty much how we did it yesterday, then every Wednesday we'll dive into the upcoming weeks late.

So we'll save that only for Wednesday. So we'll talk about where the lines opened at, where they are at now, the early value that we've already locked in. Some that we're already looking at, but we're not 100% sure on just all across the board, what we're already finding, not only with our projections with others projections and all types of different things that we utilize to start drawing early conclusions here on Wednesday. That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

We start, actually I start hammering in my bed spot Tuesday of the week and we have got all the way until Sunday to worry about it. So if you question, ever question how damn serious we are or how serious we take this, we are professionals about this. So let's get after it, my friends. I can't wait to talk about week two.

There are some very intriguing lines on the slate, if I do say so myself. Some that are similar to last week that I actually played those lines based on it and I'm thinking about doing the same, but we got to do a little talk in here. Maybe that's not the best move. I'm not too sure.

But what I do know also, and we'll talk about it at the end of the show, we'll keep this nice and tight about the usual hour, but we'll talk about it. We got wise words, episode number two featuring. You thought I was going to tell you. No, no, you got to stick around.

You got to hit that notification bell. You got to wait for the release again, dropping after today's live show at 12 p.m. Central Standard Time. That will be the release date for every episode of the wise words podcast.

Now, so anytime you're ready to head on over there, me and on over there afternoon or right at noon, you want to watch the premiere. Well, then there you go. There you have it and it'll be here live in prime time. But we'll talk about that a little bit more in depth at the end of the show for now.

Let's go to all the nonsense. Got all the banter. Let's get right into week two of the NFL season, my friends. No, with the TTL cruise preview.

All right, so first things first. We'll go just like we went yesterday and let me get, of course, we got to load these bad boys up here because the old tabs don't like to save the rock and roll in as cold stock in here. So hopefully this does not mess up any of the stream or anything like that. I don't believe it should.

But producer Colton is doing a little bit in host cult is kind of using some filler words right now, but it looks like everything is good. So Thursday night football first game on tap. We already talked about these just briefly. We glossed over them at the end of yesterday's show and now we are going in depth.

So first game Thursday night football, New York City football giants. Up against the Washington football team. Yes, football team opened up as four point favorites, actually, on some books and they are down to minus three. You're finding them right around minus three.

Had some early public buy in onto the giant side of the ball. So it's been sticking pretty solid there at that minus three in favor of the football team. Now, me and my partner a little bit concerned that might go up to three and a half and this game might end right at a field goal. So I will tell you that both of us have already hammered in the spread on this one.

We have taken the football team minus three. We'll talk about it more in depth. Some of our analysis stuff like that, honestly, on Thursday show because obviously we have that and then also some more picks props. Now, as far as the total, did you hammer that?

I have not. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead on that one. So I was going to mention that as well. The total opened up at 42 and a half.

I started down to 40. I saw some books that already got down to 39 and a half in some places. I hammered this in same amount of money, my same unit that I did yesterday on the minus three. I hammered it in at minus or under 41 and a half.

I wouldn't play it under 41 and a half if it ticks up for sure. But I think that was the exact spot and I don't know if it's going to take up much past that. So it might be an over bet, but I am a little bit concerned about that being an over better not. So I think tomorrow we'll have that answer, but I'm hoping it's not too late tomorrow because maybe you having had married it in.

It might be valid. The val fair verify that you have a nice bet there. Maybe I'm a little bit too far behind because I didn't expect it to trap this quick. This is a little hard because I want it.

I'll be honest with you. I don't want it at this number. I know if you guys that got an extra hook and got it at 43 some guys that I respect in the industry and actually saw it there too. So definitely something to think about something to keep in mind.

But again, we will definitely bring it back to full circle on tomorrow show. We'll talk about that a little bit more in depth. So we won't waste a lot of time on that today. But first game going to Sunday now, my friends, this game on Sunday slate or percovers.com.

Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphin. So we're on the same page. Yes, sir. The Buffalo Bills opened up as three and a half point favorites on the road game is played in Miami.

The game total line opened up at 48 and it is stuck firm. You can find it some places 47 and a half right around there. Be sure to do your line shopping is what I'm trying to tell you here with some of these opens and current lines right now. My thoughts overall, before we get really dive dove deep into it, I kick it over to you, part of this don't seem right to me.

This doesn't seem right to me at all. I especially with what happened to Buffalo and then letting that game slip away at the very, very end to Pittsburgh. That doesn't seem that should be a pickle in my mind. And, you know, the dolphins, I love getting the hook.

The plus three and a half is really, really favorable in my mind for this one. I think the dolphins make this a scrappy shootout type of game. I do believe that the Patriots defense is a little bit better than the Bills defense. I think from a couple of different standpoints, maybe spot on, maybe almost identical.

And, you know, I think this is going to be a back and forth shootout. I think this is going to go right back and forth just like we saw Miami in England last week. So man, I'm leaning honestly to the side of the fence, taking that plus three and a half. And now, hey, hey, don't lock it in if you're watching this.

I'm not saying I can hammer this in right now. But I am leaning there. I do like that three and a half might be a solid teaser ad. You can get them all the way up to 10 and a half if you buy a touchdown.

That might not be the best play here. Outside of that, let me check my notes. Anything on there. There was nothing else really that I drew right out of that.

Yeah, nothing game total wise either. So that's kind of my thoughts. Anything you're thinking drawn out of this game. I know you're not sold like a double.

Yeah, 100%. Yeah, you read me like a book because I as much confidence as I have in this bill's offense. I really do think that Steelers defense was that good. But now we're traveling to Miami.

If this was in Buffalo, hammers away, I'm going Bills, Bills, Bills, at least by a touchdown. That's what we thought last week in fucking Steelers. You're right. But I really.

Oops. I'm sorry. I'm not good. But like you said, I am not sold either way on this because I it's too scary to be betting against the dolphins in Miami with these points.

Like you said, I think as it stands right now and we're not in anything and on this game quite yet, but as it stands right now, I think that he's in the dolphins might be the best play out of this one because I don't think they get blown out by the. No, no, no, I think that's going to be my move for sure. I say for sure. Not still be easy.

Don't fucking write your sports book right now. Start hammering shit in right. Yeah, I think that's going to be the best spot to play. Obviously if we do end up playing it to an end of Friday show, this is more just a look ahead.

Yeah, get you prepared. Get you. Oh, hey, the TTL Cruz already. Or maybe one of them might be a hey hammer.

This one and now it's going to be a bad line on. Exactly. And hey, same thing just as on yesterday's show. You got some questions.

You're looking at lines. Sure. We don't want to sit here and talk about our fucking bets all the time. Like let us know about yours.

Yeah. Maybe. Hey, what do you guys think about this? Should I play a different side?

Should I head something? Should I add something to this? Drop it in the chat over there? There is no judgment on this side because we're a couple of goofballs at the end of the day as it is.

So just drop them on in. We'll answer your questions. I'll do my best as producer. Call while also being host cold to answer those questions and click on over to the YouTube.

But that's our thoughts on Bill's dolphins now next game on tap when we do have some very serious opinions on and I think this is going to be. And I'll tell you guys about my rating system here in a minute to start that of the week weekend. You have the LA Rams traveling across country after playing in the beautiful sofistadium and beating the absolute dog piss out of my page. Right.

They get to go to Indianapolis and look so I'll stay in play the Colts now. The Rams opened up as a four point favorites despite heavy money being thrown on them is lying and gone nowhere. Right. It's stuck at four and I think that is a dead giveaway.

I love the Colts plus four in this spot. Four and a half if this takes up a four and a half which I do believe it will if we get that hook please and thank you and I think potentially the Colts get the win outright. That four and a half I talked about it all week and I know it's risky to read in so much to a specific spread. No this spread is the one you got to do.

But when you see key trends and you see key money movement in the same thing is happening for another week very small sample size but the same thing is happening. My mind's got to go right back to that line. I really really like the Colts now mentioned I have a rating system when I look ahead early at games. I'll start writing games down that I know the most about it that I really like and then I'll start writing them as my one two and three star plays as in.

Okay. I don't have to answer five questions in my mind. Right. One question in my head that I found the answer to it that's alleviated bam that was the Colts there to start play the number three star play I do have a three star play already that I kind of want to talk about as much as you know we don't like to be that for you to match real play.

But you know there's a good good thing for this rating system. So to start that for me I love the Colts plus four I know you're kind of singing the same tune and then after you kind of lay down I got some a little bit to say about the game total. Okay. Yeah.

I like what you said about the oversells I would be on that and I'll let you take care of that. I am mostly on this as well as you are with the Colts here and yeah anything higher plus three and a half or higher I think I'm on the Colts here. I mean as I kind of said over the offseason I think this Colts team week by week is going to get better. They're going to get healthier first of all but I think they're gonna get better with Carson wins and not to mention you know this Rams defense didn't amaze me against your bears.

Obviously they only held in the 14 but the Bears had a couple drives that they just didn't finish so I you know I think the cold I mean maybe you can look at me and say how much better is Carson once than any Dalton but you know nonetheless I think the answer is he is better and I think he's going to have him. Yeah and continually I think him specifically is going down by the way. I think Carson is going to get better and you know we could stay in India here for the Colts here while the Rams got a traddle halfway across the country with those actual points. I like the Colts I could see him winning this game but I think at worst it's a field goal loss for him here.

Yeah that's right what my mind is in general I definitely think that they can come away with the victory but yeah if I'm leaning anywhere I think it's going to be kind of a field goal game. That being said now I don't want to give too much of it away but we may or may not have had a little bit of insight on the over here on the game total. Now our guest of the day for today's episode of wise words episode number two dropping a 12 p.m. Central Standard Time there's another promo cut that all being said he is a pretty damn good sharp when it comes to NFL and he went back and forth on a couple of different divisions we dove deep into that something we didn't really have the opportunity to do with Joe on episode one because the season really wasn't in full swing at that point yet.

So we had some pretty damn solid opinions we talked a little bit about the Bears and Rams and exactly what happened and you kind of alluded to finishing the drives there that's a key point some other key things he brings up but on top of what he says in addition to some of the research that I did man this 47 and a half seems prime time for over here between the guys. I think over here between the Colts and the Rams I think that the public is going to look too much into the Colts only putting up 16 on Seattle. Seattle has a really bad defense and I don't say really bad but for the names they got they're not as good as they should be and you know I think that they fix a lot of things. I think maybe of course when it came just a little bit too early out of that injury maybe we see just a little bit more improvement week from week here.

I'm mostly I'm seeing the same tunes I'm a little higher on the Seahawks defense than you are so I think maybe the Seahawks surprised us a little bit and their defense is much better than we expected them to be kind of how they finished the season last year where they relied on that defense not saying they're top five top ten but I think they might be a little better than we alluded to show. All right well that's kind of where we're looking at hey another promo cut wise words episode two 12 p.m. Central Standard Time you're going to find analysis on this one you're going to find big brain highbrow thought on this one you're going to find some laughs not as many as with Mr. Joe but hey everybody's got a different field different vibe that's why we did wise words to connect you with all of the sharpest brightest and dopest minds in the shortest minds in the shortest sports gambling industry community and why I said dopest is on a very specific reason because everybody has their own niche and their own reason why they are very very good at this and you're going to hear a lot of different things from our guest today than you might have heard from Joe and maybe some more in depth stuff maybe lesson depth stuff and it's I just love the yin and yang that we are kind of going so I am more than just to drop this one to you guys.

There's another promo cut I'll do about another 15 more of them within this episode so you might as well just get over it now if you're already ready to tune out so next game on the tap Sunday Sunday Sunday we have the New England Patriots and the new. I have a piece of hair or some shit in the corner of my eye here that is now gone and I am back to rock and enrolling partner talking off the ledge. How the hell can I not hammer in the New England Patriots that opened up as three and a half point favorites now up to five and a half point favorites with Bill Belichick's record against rookie quarterbacks. I don't know that I can talk you off the ledge I am a little nervous about how much money and by percentages we're seeing already on the Patriots.

However I don't see any way in which Zach Wilson isn't running for his life 10 times more than he was already last week we talked about I mean it was what a 1914 loss to the Panthers. Yeah and the Panthers were up 19-0 and kind of let their foot off the gas a little bit there so I'm not to mention the Patriots defense looked solid last week against you know to it was a great he used his legs I think it might be a little bit similar there with Zach Wilson maybe making a few more mistakes. Two of them in 2020 so I mean he obviously the Patriots made that adjustment so I don't see it and I don't see any way the Jets stay within a touchdown here and you know the Patriots offense looked fine last week too they just couldn't finish a couple drives so I think they put up at least 24 points here and I would be shocked at the Jets scored more than 17 here. That's kind of what I'm thinking man.

I'm a little nervous to hammer it. I'm nervous to hammer it in I think it might be one of those good teasers. The AFC East is the teaser editions for this week. I have ultimate face I went back and I looked a few key ones the only two rookie quarterbacks over the course of the last decade that have beat Belichick were just Sean Watson in a class of his own and do a talk about Loa in last year's year where the Patriots were a shell of themselves.

Yeah where's absolutely bananas so you can't really count the two of win because they just well actually know they do a beat him 17-16 but I that's on Damon Harris. I don't buy that nonsense but so in a way kind of talk myself out of it but then you look you faced Herbert 49 to nothing yeah and then you kind of start going down the list of some of them are trash and some of them are really good and they've been at least by 10 points or more and I don't know it seems very true. You don't even have to be an expert better you don't even have to do this for a living to know when you see a bet getting 90% of bets and 98% of money you need to run in the opposite direction but I think they're looking to make a statement here. There's just something that I especially defensively I think they're going to make a statement I actually think they might be lucky to crack 10 points the Jets this game.

Yeah I think so too but I think the best safest thing to alleviate any bull. It's a good teaser edition. Add it to the teaser. So maybe that there's my first two legs and my teasers are little dolphins little Patriots so far.

Alright keep it a move in the fourth game on tap for the noon slate this upcoming Sunday which will be the 20. I think I got a 19. Yes it is a 19. 49ers Eagles now we talked about it our guy Nate Nate got drip on Twitter stopped in talked about the Eagles a little bit and he was actually pretty juiced about this matchup now the 49ers opened up as three point favorites since then they've only caught a hook it is now only up to three and a half and let me talk about the game total first it opened up at 48 it's already up to 50 and find it at 15 and a half on some books it's got a hook as well.

That ain't right that's not right that's how I feel the same about the dog on Bill's and dolphins game this these three and a half and four and a half are going to be very valuable I do believe don't quote me on it yet I need to do some more research but I think they're going to be very freaking valuable in week two and I know it's Sirionny's Philadelphia Eagles and I know it's Shanahan's 49ers but I think Mr. Kyle was just pulling some Shehannigans if you will last week. Okay you know just some just trying to keep everybody guessing trying to it's the Lions we're going to win this game anyway I'm going to try some gadget shit I'm going to throw people on defense I'm not going to typically have a move in this way. I think it was just kind of to throw everybody off the sin and I think I think that they should come away with a very serious victory here but the problem is that is all entirely fan betting that is entirely I'm thinking the 49ers and you know what folks I said it on the 49ers season preview and you can still hate me if you want to but I'm not as high on the 49ers as every damn other analyst seems to be just absolutely rip in lines of these boys I don't understand hard in my metaphor but I don't understand He's up through the fucking roof and I just you know still fucking Jimmy Garoppolo's 49ers okay boys like let's let's pump the gas here and I know Trey Lance will be coming around the bend when he comes but hey it's gonna be a little while before he comes all right so I think this game is a field goal game I think Sirionny can figure out just come just really piss off Shanahan and pull some different things.

Hey Jalen hurts look great to me roll damn tied to Fontes Smith look great to me roll damn tied. Don't lock it in yet but I'm leaning like a son of a bitch to the Eagles plus three and a half what are you feeling part I know that was windy as shit. That was it was good stuff I think I have to stay away from this one altogether partner because I mean I didn't think about it do I feel like if so that Niners lines game they're up 38 to 10 and it finished 41 to 33 if they finish that game 41 to 17 didn't allow the gas and stomp their hearts out I have to imagine the spread would be at least minus five or higher and so that's kind of leaning me towards the Niners here but at the end of the day plus three and a half I still I was so shocked to see the Eagles with 32 to six and week one when I really didn't know what to expect so I need to see it one more week before I can hammer anything one way or another on these Eagles man and I don't even want to tease any of these either way because it would also when shocked me if the Niners did kind of what they did. The Niners did kind of what they did to the Lions before the Lions came back into it.

No disrespect to the Eagles because it wouldn't shock me if the Eagles won either. Maybe the Eagles are really damn good. I've been alluding to the last couple days. So I'm staying clean away from this one.

I don't think my mind is going to change. Even if it drops under three I might just stay away the hell away man. I think so too man. I think that's where I got to stay in the total two.

I don't know. I don't know. I know and we actually here's another fucking promo for you episode number two of the Wise Words podcast for the day of 12 PM Central Standard Time promo cut our guests of the day actually talked a little bit about the Eagles in the Falcons and what the hell can we draw and it was so cool to be able to be like yo we watch your live show. And like we know you get tens and thousands of followers and viewers every day and like hey we were able to get a little bit more in depth and shitty to already talked about.

So I don't even know that this is my real life but what I'm saying is oh yeah I'm still awake. Everything's good. I guess I'm not dreaming. So what I'm saying is I think I'm in concurrence with you partner.

I got to stay away from that plus three. Any more week from the Eagles? I can be a couple of time in the mouth and hey we might be hammering the Eagles. But maybe the Falcons are absolutely terrible.

Maybe the Falcons just hit a little bit of a speed bump. Maybe hey we got to get Arthur Smith's offense a little next or week to get going. I don't know. I don't know what to deduct right now so I think we need to stay away and I know you really don't need to have another sweat like you had on Sunday.

No no no no no no. We'll stay away from that. We probably won't see that in our bets lips. But if I get crazy who knows might be on a wild teaser.

I don't think so however but that all being said. Next game up on the slate on the tap whatever you want to say my friends. Ah Shit. You already know what we're going if I just said that Cincinnati Bengals Chicago Bears.

Bears opened up as three point five of three days and are already down to two and a half point favorites line of state current from open forty five total game total. Bless, you know, you know, okay, hate me again. You know, hate me again. I don't give a damn because I'm not gonna be optimistic about this Bears team.

I don't give a shit. I am not going to be optimistic. We are not going to see Justin Fields before week five So you might as well just fuck your popcorn you might as well just lock into it now And you know, I really really really don't care what any of you want to say But any dolts not gonna do anything to rifle revenge baby combat back and forth against Joe Burrow I mean you can you can tell those subtle jabs all you want that Joe burr. I'm only 40% kidding.

I think I don't know I I I well number one ruling Betty. You don't hammer in your favorite team My dog has rule, but you're right. It's good rule. It's a good rule, but it's a good rule But fuck it when you're a Packers fan, but yeah, I did a little sprinkle on the money line said hey Let me try out the old spread here.

Yeah, we're one. Let me break my rules both the fuckers lost I ain't doing it again this entire year. So I'm not touching that. Okay.

I'm not touching the Bengals either be yeah Cuz I can't bet against the Bears, but if I was a betting man, I think I might take the Bengals plus the fucking points Or I might even I might even go a little over 45 action here I'm not sure I think I might just stay away from this one a gentle to I think I have to stay away as well because I Obviously hate the Bears, but it honestly is almost as much of a bias Does Betty not a favorite team betting against the Bears in the same category for me And I was actually I was starting to lean towards the Bengals and then you said something to me off air this morning I was like, you know Just when you least expect the Bears to do anything in a game like this they come out and smack a team like this in the mouth So I don't know I kind of lean towards the over But at the same time it wouldn't shock me if you know the Bears offenses as bad as they were at least finishing drives and put up 14 Again, so I think I got to stay away clean here I don't like these in teams up to nine, but I would be interested depending on what the number is on the Bengals Maybe in a tease depending on what the number is right now two two and a half man. We'll see but closing thought on that Saw a video after I made that statement to you of Jamar Chase looking making the Viking secondary who I have a lot of respect for some of my Favorite secondary defenders in the league Harrison Smith most notably making them look like they were seeing effing ghosts in the secondary and The way that my secondary looked against Van Jefferson and Robert Woods and Cooper cup Yeah, I am very very very scared because I if you didn't watch the season preview the Bengals wide receiver core is my number one unit in the entire League Tyler Boyd needs to get some more working week two and it lives up to my production or my predictions and that's it That's bottom line. I think just I might have to sprinkle money line. I don't know on the bangles I don't know I think this wide receiver room has a heyday with the bare second I know I think our secondary is but one foot in the grave my foot and yeah, he should have stopped right there It's but hey screw you You guys didn't know if you're just stumbling to the team Oh, uh, it's resident cheese head resident Bazz home a bad on Where is this is all it's ever going to be this is all it's never going to stop It's never going to quit so just get ready for more chaps as the season rolls on And hopefully as my bears start to get way better than his shitty ass packers that can't figure out how to even put a ball in the X zone at least that's what hey, whatever I digress Denver Broncos first the Jackson bill jaguars Broncos open up six and a half point favorites dropped already down to six points.

I started five and a half some places yesterday kick back Up to six now. Yeah We actually talked about this too with our guest of the Yeah, why is it so too now dropping at 12 p.m. Central Standard time today I told you the promos are coming up right in center anytime I get a chance And kind of directed us towards the Jacksonville side of things I think It's just to see some line. I can't go all the way there, but I got to see some line movement for sure I think this is just a touch of an overreaction and you know, I love Teddy to gloves You know I'll back him any day Right on a spread but I don't know if I can back him on a touchdown spread I love him anywhere from minus three to plus three you get outside of that and I got a question in Teddy to gloves 100% so something about there I also with it being with it being at six maybe tossing those O Broncos in a teaser getting a nice little touchdown teaser you get down to plus one and a half and then maybe you could even go on the Jacksonville side of things and do a little 13 pointer.

Yeah, but also Maybe Jacksonville looks good in the first quarter and then get absolutely destroyed the time I looked into a little bit the same as Belichick with rookie quarterbacks fangeo. Oh, yeah quarterback's not as high a success Defense has never been so I am even more less now I was already less but I'm already more less drinking each other Lawrence Kool-Aid as the days kind of roll on here And that's kind of playing into it But man, I think this line is a bit of an overreaction probably teaser play for me at best partner. Wait, I'm uh, I'm kind of Singing the same tunes as you hear Denver having to go to Jacksonville is I think they're I think their offense is gonna have I think it may be stuck in the mud I mean look what the Packers just had to travel to Jacksonville and it's kind of a similar travel It's obviously it's further travel, but even thinner air density to the thickest air dances It kills teams man. It's it's significant when you have you know teams going to Denver or having the opposite effect of that But you have the Denver Broncos themselves going to Jacksonville It's concerned me and you know that I think it was 27 13 the Broncos beat the Giants But it was a lot closer than that up until 70 yard Melvin Gordon touchdown run in the second half So I'm concerned about Denver's offense in this game.

Yeah, I'm at the same time the Texans just put the fucking whoop down So I'm leaning jags, but we might have to see a little movement I don't know the Texans man. I know maybe the Texans can we stop myself right there? I don't know if I obviously I feel a lot more comfortable if it was seven, but we'll see man We shall see I'm leaning towards under in this one though. Yeah, I think I might lean there if anywhere as well quick Scan my notes.

I do did I have anywhere? No, I didn't have any play on the under as of yet or any total as of yet So maybe not too sure but yeah, I was gonna be kind of a tricky one You have to wait in here for us on Friday. We're exactly we're gonna be dishing that into but let's keep it moving my friends into the I don't know what number this is now, but the Texans vs Cleveland Brown dog pound, baby Hey, browns browns fans. Hey browns fans browns fans.

Hey, hey relax. It's okay It's all right. You're fine. If you listen to me, I don't think they're panicking I don't think they're panicking panicking bad, but I've heard some guys out there Just a little bit down a little bit too more than they need a little sour a little sour be and hey if you listen to me about Four and a half weeks ago.

I said boys. I go meet the Kansas City Chiefs in week one They're not gonna get that win. They're not gonna get their playoff lick back yet. Yet was the keyword in my sentence They're gonna make it back to the playoffs and her DSP and greenies say some funny as shit this morning on get up And I think he's just been saving it and you said a partner I don't think I think it was a close look I don't think it was a total slinky but nobody has been able to say this because the Brown's been good He's like I think Stafinsky can take the Browns to the Super Bowl and it was just like we both chocolate like that Shouldn't have been as funny as I was but what the fuck are we five years old?

But like I mean, it's crazy to think that they just have not been in this position right now They are open as a lemon point favorites up to 12 and a half point favorites now against the Texans and I had those stats Yes, let me drop them real quick since 2003 double digit favorites 274 3 14 and 13 largest spread of Baker Mayfield's career and With three other double digits before this is one into a TS three and no straight up here Yeah, so that already was concerned to me There was also a trend and I should have I should have gone back up also to where fans of hammer down podcast as well We love those guys I connect with comp every once in a while But they had a fuck on it I don't want to say wrong, but they had a stat that was a team that went on one a TS in week one and I'll dive into it I'll find it yet But that made the playoffs last year coming into week two were like 12 and three a TS after after something like that So it was a really good trend, but also then you got that trend that you found too So I might be staying away from this one. Yeah, I think that the I think that the public will run to the Browns and I'm not saying that the Texans are all that right now They give the Browns a run for their money, but I'm concerned about this one I might question toss in the brownies into a teaser, but you're just not getting it through the key numbers I would be safe with so I think I got to stay away I think that this day away is the right move. What's honestly pushing me towards potentially the Texans is that I mentioned I think yesterday time I tell you just the style of play that he plays He doesn't he doesn't make massive mistakes that are gonna give up points off turnovers And I think the Texans might cover a lot of these double-digit spreads I think they're gonna have a terrible record, but it would not shock me if this was a 10-point game It wouldn't shock me either, but I man. I think that's what's gonna be his right in the back door some weird like that Yeah, we'll see we'll see but I just feels dirty taking the distance here feels real dirty my friends But yeah, we haven't came across any of these yet.

It's been a lot of stayaways been a lot of I don't know brought folks My first three star play the day and whoever just left the live stream They don't mess up junk because this is the play that you need to hear about and you need to hammer in next game Going through New Orleans Saints Carolina Panthers maybe thinking oh cool We gotta get the good value on the line because it's so low now for a bunch of the roof Ah, we ain't leaning on the same side of things here my friends and since not I bias because I have a pack of fans sitting next to me I got him to convince me of anything This is just stone cold analysis and what I believe is a complete trap line and a half the line opened up Carolina Two and a half or New Orleans being a two and a half point favorite It is already up to three and a half with it looking like it's gonna lose that hook and go up to four Maybe even four and a half at last I look the lines were in favor of the Saints about minus 118 minus 102 Splits there and generally when you see that it's about to go up versus whatever side is getting the high the high amount of odds the favorite odds On that side of the spread so I think it's about to go up sooner rather than later I'm gonna stay tentative and wait to get that four and a half or four where it might be I gotta lock it in a three and a half I'm okay there, but obviously my one and only three star bet of this weekend is the Carolina Panthers plus three and a half or plus four and a half I will have stone cold analysis on it But some of it will definitely revolve around the Saints and Panthers historical record in Carolina and a lot of stuff that has gone on in the past So I'll save all of that nonsense for Friday's show when I actually hammered this in but the Panthers plus three and a half on that That is my one and only three star play the weekend Yeah, I mean home dogs in division games You can't sleep on that in general not to mention last three games in Carolina for these teams 2018 Carolina Panthers won That might be week 17, you know, whatever you're gonna run through a my always trying to save it for Friday I did real quick these Carolina Panthers stay within three these last two See now again, it's all right Nothing else now. That's it. I was just fucking with yourself. All right.

Well, there you go. There you have it That is that is actually huge. Yeah, they they have not done well in Carolina over the course of last few years and At least against the number at least least against the number of Carolina Panthers I believe it's better than they've been last two years I do believe so too, and I think I'm have rules second full season I think we'll start seeing some stuff here and I think Sam Donald is not as broken as everybody would like to say so hey Watch out just wait for Friday's show everything all in Compassing and make sure you follow us on the action network apps when we do hammer these things and you can see them right away I am at cash on the square with underscore cold Riley is at our mags and all caps You can see all of the best bets when it's business as usual on Monday Thursdays and Fridays for the entire weekend slate at talking the line You don't have the action network app. Well, you're sorely missing out.

So that is are you gonna lean in the same way I'm leaning there for the Panthers? Yeah, oh, yeah, I'll say okay, so yeah, that's gonna probably be that might be our crew play Cuz that's my that's my three star play the weekend. I can't get that off my mind So I'm moving right along the autumn wind is a raider Playing up its burg's delars.

So I've got an interesting trend here that needs to be mentioned here I think I read into it, but lay it on me So Pacific time zone teams that play their most recent game in the Pacific time zone So that includes this raiders they played in Vegas then travels to the East Coast with less than seven days rest Five twelve and one eight yes, this might be since a certain year I guess I failed to mention that last 18 seasons at least 18 7 so 5 12 and 1 a t s with less than seven days Rest when they travel across the country to the East Coast. So that's a big worry was I'm sorry the last 18 there was 18 teams over the last 15 seasons, okay, that's not accurate, but that is a very extremely I'm it's that I was wondering if that's where you were gonna go I'd actually read that a little bit while once again Hey shout out to the guys over the action network. They got good shit always finding those weird little trends things to do I was actually on the autumn wind ladies and gentlemen You know we were on them against the Ravens turned out to be an absolutely beautiful play for us I think we got to be tentative in week two. Yeah, I don't think we can go to the five and a half I like the five and a half.

I almost like a two-day much and that's why it scares me The Steelers not being able to really like I don't buy I don't buy that win over the bills I just I really really really don't like I buy the Steelers defense for sure, but we got a pop lock that offense Yeah, pump lock and that offense is too flooky for me I I got to see way way way way more and with the fact what what really gets me the most with the Steelers is that we not we Their front office was banging the effing hammer. Yeah on we are going back to stealer smash mouth football And we're gonna run the ball and we got nausea Harris roll tide and we're gonna do this thing the right way back to Steelers football And they got up and had a lead in the foot fucking corner We're bombing the ball down the sideline to chase clay pool and stop in the clock. What the fuck are we doing? Mm-hmm.

Oh, what am I missing? I don't know so I don't know I don't I don't think that you can I don't I know you have to stay away from this game I think that very easily very well the Steelers could get this done by a touchdown and very well very easily much like we saw Well, what even in the back door was an outright win, but right the Raiders could sneak in the back door You know that Pacific to East Coast. Yeah, no, yeah, Trin I always hate to bet a team even if they're an underdog getting the points going in that situation So boys and girls I think I got to stay away I'm not man enough to back the under here because hey, who knows maybe the Raiders could put up in the 30 Right even though we're high on the Steelers defense So stay away from me with a potential add on the Steelers do a teaser, but I'm not that confident in it yet Yeah, we'll save some time. I'm mostly on that same side I think the biggest concern is really that Steelers offense didn't show me anything and but I don't know I This Raiders defense against a different style of offense.

I think we have to see it again, but I want a hammer in those Steelers man I do I know I know I know all right well We will save time on that one because we definitely got some more research on that all right kids final stretch six games left Episode number 125 for the entire week to look ahead breakdown early value were fine And so far just to recap real quick We did give you one two star play that we will 95% be hamming in on both our bed slips the Colts plus four would love to See that go up to four and a half, but I think it's gonna stick it for but I still really really love it for my three star Play the weekend. We just covered it Carolina Panthers plus three and a half. I'm gonna wait see if that moves to four and a half I think it's going to move to four and a half and I will hammer the absolute mess out of it I might even turn it into a two-unit play for close to four and a half a little thinking ahead there But that's so far what we've said. Hey, this is what you need to get in right now Everything's been a little bit is our opinions kind of couple those with what you guys are already kind of thinking and stay tuned for Friday Show when we give you our entire weekend card not only NFL, but also college foods Yes, sir, how much food's late little difficult this week little difficult, but nothing we can't handle But you work but next game on tap his one stay away from me I'm not even trying to jack with this in any type of capacity Atlanta Falcons Tampa Bay Buccaneers Buccaneers open as 13 and a half point favorites They're not down to 12 and a half point favorites I don't know if the Falcons are just that damn bad or if the Eagles are good or if we're gonna see the Falcons turn around or if The Buccaneers are gonna be spinning the wheels on offense or if the Buccaneers are having to deal with these injuries on defense now That's gonna loom large for them too many question marks.

I'm staying away. Leave it alone I don't even want to touch the game total either. See you later alligator. I Think I'm with you on that man, but here's a fucking Falcon Falcon I feel disgusting that I do I feel disgusting.

I feel ridiculous. I feel stupid I'm failed to mention that I failed to mention this because there's three other teams that we've talked about that applied to this number here since 2014 teams that lose by double digits in week one are 2019 and 19 and one so 60% cover 2019 and one a T s 29 okay Lose by double digits week one at 29 19 and one so 60% cover 2326 straight up So that applies to the Packers Falcons Titans jags giants and bears So 60% there's 16 if that number continues that means it's probably about four of them cover here and you know These divisional games it is on the road. It isn't Tampa, but the vision double-digit favorites since 2003 103 132 and seven so that's really the only thing that's pushing me towards the Falcons We also thought they'd be better and they just weren't but I would feel so fucking ridiculous if I bet on the Falcons And they put up a single-digit number again So I don't know I might have to stay away But there's at least some trends that have me pulling me in there in their fucking direction and I hate it well soldier I wish you the best of luck. I don't know I don't know Put on the helmet for me.

I'm staying way the bug way. I could not live with myself I don't think so I don't think so a back-to-back performance like that from the Falcons Hey, that's that's mainly where I'm thinking I have to have opens the key number all right We're gonna hand take the gun on my hands I will I will because I cannot I cannot allow you to go that deep into the trenches They're gonna fuck without now without somebody on your back But if that happens then all right we clip this we say we're a bunch of dumbasses and we go drive on and we hammer in that Yeah, yes the next round here, right? Yeah, right? Yeah, skip it right now Skip it for now.

All right, maybe maybe here Friday All right one that we actually went back and forth on a lot We got a little testy on yesterday because I'll test it because it's like hey fuck is this a public bet is this is an expert But what are we doing and we got different opinions and how we're kind on the same page so match up, Minnesota, Arizona? Cardinals coming off of yeah, you thought Arizona Cardinals obviously obliterated the Tennessee Titans. I got some thoughts on the Titans as well, right? Um, you know first thing you think oh three and a half four and a half shit We gotta get it to three and a half hammer in hammer in hammer in the falcon the Cardinals right?

I don't think so boys. I don't think so. I got to look back to Kingsbury as a home favorite Yeah, I know I know his dog away and as a dog splits are very very good I'm not so certain that those splits aren't very good at home Yeah, cuz I sticks out that bills game in my mind. They didn't cover that.

I know that that's just a huge thing It's not I could go back and look But the Vikings man they are that team they are that team that sticks in the games They go back and forth they keep it right at a field goal and shit I said it on yesterday show we sat right next to each other and watched it on that frickin TV you guys can't see right now oh Surprise surprise the Vikings having a week one over time game and then 27 24 I think that is the story of the Minnesota Vikings and I think they do enough defensively against the Cardinals And I also think that the Cardinals defense is still a little bit flawed I think we'll react just a little bit. I think so the front seven Chandler Jones getting five sacks in the game is great But still a lot of a lot of holes and I posted a video on the TTL page this morning Buddha Baker was running over Taylor Loa like there was something wrong with that team There was something going on with that offense that they were just not firing on So it's King Henry had 10 freaking carries for nine yards rather than 90% of the game So if I'm leaning somewhere and I'm not hamming anything in yet But I'm leaning Minnesota on the road. This is a more as a road dog is pretty damn good I got a little bit deeper into that as well But on the same token as all of that I think the over 51 might be the most valuable bet But then again, you could see a 27 24 game and it finishes right at 51 Actually as I say that the books have the game totals absolutely perfect this week. Yeah, I mean they are absolutely perfect this week and I would lean to the over 51.

I think that's where I'm gonna be playing in this game I really like the Vikings plus the points just because I think everybody's going to run to the Cardinals and You gotta remember the Cardinals won games last year But much like the Chiefs they failed to cover critical numbers like this time and time again And I think that's going to be the same thing because it's the same offense the same defense and the same damn coach So that's what I thought sir. What do you think? Mr. Cliff Kingsbury's last two years as a home favorite two and five two and four was last year Oh and one of the year for they weren't very good.

I know it Minnesota under Mr. Zimmer since 2014 only 2016 as an away dog So nothing crazy but that is a positive number nonetheless and I was already I was the first one on the side of the Vikings here Yeah, it's just because if the Cardinals are that good and the Vikings are as mediocre as they looked last Sunday then they should at least be a touchdown spread 150% I don't I don't disagree with you now and I kind of was before and I was like They could they could look amazing but yeah, I like that number I like that number I just don't think it's gonna be the case and I'm not too concerned with back-to-back weeks for the Minnesota Vikings and I've been pounding the fucking drum on plus four and a half and what is this one at plus four and a half? So it's at three and a half But I think it's going to tick back up with the action I'm seeing much like I told you hey wait on the Carolina now this one is not a three-star play hold still but Wait for it to get back up to four and a half and I think that might be the spot so moving right along my friends we have the Tennessee Titans and Seattle sea squawks and Okay, hold on go anywhere Seahawks open six point favorites and they are now down to five and a half point favorites That'll be instead I think I'm leaning to the side of the Tennessee Titans I think that this line is a severe overreaction I think that the Tennessee Titans are going to have plenty of success against the Seahawks offensively I think that defense is going to struggle for sure But I think this game is going to be what we have come to know in love as a classic Titans shootout game And also a Seahawks shootout game at the same time So I think that's the game script here man five and a half is way too much for me to buy into this with what we saw how the Seahawks closed last season how they started last season into the end of the season I'm not buying that they are 100% in on letting Russ cook Yeah, I'm just not buying it though with the way they finished last season There's no way and especially Russell laid out teams he was willing to go to and willing to leave Seattle for you can't tell me that That's all just It might be that looks fine. That's what might be but I just I think that this is and then maybe too much Really full storylines and stuff there, but everything everything all encompassing I'm gonna take the Titans plus the five and a half I think this is gonna be another one of my two-star plays this weekend I'll let you guys know for sure on Friday, but I'm definitely a one-star right now And I might get myself over to a two-star and hammer this in a plus five and a half I don't know I'm stuck on a stay away or because I'm leaning towards Seahawks and it's not even so much of an overreaction on last week I think the Titans will bounce back especially offensively I would just be leaning towards a Seahawks by at least touchdown for the matchup reasons I think they should and I'll keyword should and so I'm not gonna be hammering in the Titans I don't think because I can see the Seahawks absolutely laying the hammer down and it's in Seattle for the first time with fans So that's why this line is exactly that.

Okay. I'll let you scoop it up man I'll let you scoop it up because I I I think the Seahawks should hammer him down, but maybe this Titans offense What if we learn time again though anytime that I gotta say I should I know that's why I'm staying away Yeah, I'm staying away again again. I again It's still kind of a lean for me for the Titans at the five and a half But moving right along next I want to see how bad but it's not gonna be true I kind of want the Titans bad So we might have to have a TTL showdown on a little half unit showdown. Fuck it.

Why not? All right, maybe that being said This one is a two-star play this one is a hammer the shit out of this now before it moves up and you catch another hook Yep, Dallas Cowboys versus the LA Chargers Sorry Cowboys fans. We're going Chargers my student half. We've already hammered it in minus two and a half This is 150% overreaction to what we saw from the Buccaneers and the Cowboys my mind This is gonna be classic Dallas Cowboys football man day that the Dallas Cowboys look exactly the same They're going to be in these shootout games and they are the underdogs in this contest because every Dallas Cowboys They're Dallas Cowboys dogs and their Dallas Cowboys uncles are going to run to the books and say book me for every penny that I have You're putting my cowboys as an underdog against Justin Herbert in the fucking Chargers.

Come on No, it's a very fair line and this game will probably end in a field goal and it will 99.9999% go in the favor of the Chargers and it might even end in two field goals and still in favor of the Chargers I think no, I believe that the Chargers defense is back. Yeah, they are rocking and rolling the Cowboys defense is not back at all I don't care what you want to say they are not back at all They made a few key plays but trust me They will get exposed sooner rather than later and there's not enough offensive firepower either side here to really tell me Oh my gosh that I just have to I have to take the Cowboys they are just going to put up a million points Hit the books that the Cowboys gonna win they would be favored by at least three points three points Three points no question and I know you got a little bit more out on top of that But yeah, that's my two star bet of the weekend. I love it at two and a half I like it at three it goes over three and a half. Yeah, it goes to three and a half I'm not touching it.

No same with me value in now. Yeah, same with me I think they can still cover that three and a half but the value goes out the window at that point I think cuz I think we are going I actually scooped this up sooner because I think it's going to be the steam line on the Weekend we're gonna start seeing this go three and a half four because the book are bringing bringing people to take money on The House Boys man No shade no shade at all because I think that is going to be fantastic. We got we got a good a good friend of mine Well in a past life. It was a good friend of mine We're not a close we used to be but watch this the show tunes in every time every once in a while And he's a huge cowboy fan and the first thing this line opens up I saw him tweet and I want to vault any names I'm gonna put you on blast But I saw him tweet the fact that the Cowboys are at plus three and a half is an absolute joke And I was just like that's that's gonna be the public perception on this and anytime that the Cowboys have a plus money advantage I think that the public and everybody's going to run to him and this thing is going to steam steam steam steam steam steam Last point unless you're really tapped into paying attention to Chargers I think the general public hasn't bought into the Chargers yet either and I have and we have Singing the tune since I've been the coaching chain I talked about the Anthony Lynn and show where the Anthony Lynn Yeah, I'm not saying I was talking about it more than you the Anthony Lynn and showees are out of pizza the terrible ingredient That is the Los Angeles Chargers pizza if you don't remember that go back and watch the damn Chargers season preview Because we talked about this so in-depth and our biases They would have lost that game if it wasn't for the coaching change For real they would have and all of our biases all of our opinions got confirmed on the Chargers So we had to hammer him while the line was good minus two if it goes over minus three You set up under the values kind out of the window and you got to kind of be a little bit more tentative on that one now That'll be in set last final couple games here my friends before we wrap everything up here today We have the Sunday night and Monday night football games Won't waste a lot of time on Monday night.

Obviously we'll have the Monday special for that And that's my boys pack versus the Lions NFC North battle Hopefully, you know He's probably already creaming his jeans with the opportunity to get back in the win column with the opponent that is on tap Kind of scares me just a little bit if I am saying so myself It's the theme of today is too good to be true and that's just that is me on bias No bears fan. No nothing in general that is just like holy cow. What the hell is going on I also think that that line is going to steam steam steam steam steam steam maybe even all the way up to 13 It's already up to 11. It's lost a hook so something to think about there But we'll definitely have way more on that come Monday But as far as the Sunday night game Kansas City Chiefs Baltimore Ravens Chiefs opened up minus two and a half favorites They have already gone up to three and a half favorites So kind of like I was saying on the Chargers there I think all the value is gone out of this bet now I think that the Chiefs still get it done three and a half But I'm not sold on the Chiefs yet, man They're doing what they did last year.

They're winning games, but they can't cover worth of shit And I still think that's the public perception It's the Kansas City Chiefs don't cover any line. They'll win any game. It's Andy Reed. It's Patrick Mahomes I think it's about time we start tempering that public expectation I think they have plenty of success success here against the Baltimore Ravens and you can look at it Ravens played in Vegas.

Ravens got to travel across country now. They're going into Arrow or no, they're not going to know That's in Baltimore. It isn't Baltimore. So they get to go back home, but I don't know.

I'm very nervous at the three and a half I would think that this one would be about five and a half The Ravens let it slip away to the freaking Las Vegas Raiders Uh fact that it's already gone up a point Tells me that public has really bought into this really really fast really really early and really aggressively and I'm not saying I'm buying it on the Ravens quite yet, but If I'm leaving anywhere, man I don't have success or I don't have success I don't have faith in the Kansas City Chiefs that they are going to be cover machines this year I think they're gonna do exactly what they did They'll get a new playoffs. They'll have a beautiful regular season record But for betters They're gonna do a damn thing. So I'm gonna stay away for the time being Maybe a sprinkle on the Ravens, but I'm gonna stay away altogether for the time being okay I'm your lean in chiefs. I am lean in chiefs It's it's mostly still at the point of point of this.

It's still a stay away I just think with all of the rest this advantage the chief success against the Ravens I mean I said yesterday if their car had any type of accuracy in the first accuracy accuracy in the first accuracy accuracy So already Type of accuracy in the first half of that game Raiders would have put out 50 fucking points and uh, I'm home They're gonna be putting uh, uh, 10 balls in the first half on traffic Travis Kelsey's in the back of his head So yeah, I might be leaning towards the Chiefs 10 point win in this one at least personally, but uh, it's just a public perception I don't know. That's what I'm worried about is that just and that's kind of where I first lean to and I was like Am I thinking like too much like John Q sample here like fucking minus two and a half minus three and a half like it's the chiefs Man, I don't care what they did like they ended up taking care of business against the Browns They didn't cover the spread. I think the Browns are better than the Ravens That's what I had that too and they're even dealing with injuries kind of a stay away so far and it's the Sunday night game So cool your jets will probably have something about a Friday show and uh, we'll pretty much skip over the Detroit Green Bay game Since we'll have its own day just like we did for the football team and Giants But as aforementioned Green Bay opened up 11 point favorites down to about two and a half point favorites You look like you have a stat that you're about ready to come out of your shorts on what do you got? Only thing I got packers six and oh eight Ts after a loss in the mat LaFluor era three and oh last year three and oh in 2019 Hey, don't worry packers fans to be alright everything's gonna be okay.

You'll get back to the Super Bowl But like we said we won't get too much away I like the Packers coming off of a loss, but I mentioned at the other day This lion's team might be a double-digit back door back door cover team all season long at the last minute They sneak in those back doors thinking man. That's what I'm thinking especially against NFC North opponents that are going to be There's no worst team in our division. We are going to steam roller ass and they let off the gas in the fire We saw with the 49ers. They let off the gas and came in the back door.

Mody city Dan Campbell's biting fucking kneecaps boys and girls He does not care what he has to do 41 Cap he has promised that they will be cover machines this year. Hey, I'm telling you I don't know I'm not buying into early yet, but I do believe what you said their partner might might be a little more accurate than we would all like to Be toss up on this breath. Yeah, the Lions might be a backdoor machine this year, but we'll talk about that all on next Monday's show September the 20th, I'm not really sure what episode that'll be 26, 27, 28 it will be yes, sir. All right.

Well my friends That's all the week to that's everything we got for the entire recap look ahead breakdown. Yeah, yeah out of this that and the other So let's get that bad boy off the screen. No more week two discussions. All right a couple of quick updates We'll talk about just a few key things but before we do Part or anything burn on the brain melt on the heart faster on the soul that you have been Going to get out to the kind folks that joined us on episode number 125 the TTL part on this beautiful September 15th You don't have to check your calendar 20 20 what my man We don't have to spend too much time on it, but we've been out of the baseball egg, you know We've been mostly out of the base.

I shouldn't say we've been completely out of the baseball world We've been sprinkling in bed here and there but as far as how locked and we were you know come July There is some division actually wild card races and both leagues that are about as heated as heated as can be We've got like two weeks left in the season the St. Louis Cardinals I don't think anyone even realizes it unless you've checked the standings the Car seatless Cardinals would be in the wild card game at the season and its day the Reds are half game behind them and the Padres are I full game behind the Cardinals the Phillies and Mets only three and four out It's the Mets have been dead birds for the last month and a half and dead birds They have fucking J a happen John Lester on the Cardinals rotation And what are they doing? I don't know how is this happening? The Reds have completely lost control of everything They've really started shit in the bed the Mets made all these moves and they're shit in the bed left right and center The fields can't win a game to save their lives.

What is going on? But not to mention in the AL you've got three AL East teams tied for the shoe wild card spaces blue jay's Yanks red Sox I think the red Sox may have like played two less games, but it's a loss and win less or maybe more either way It's a three-way tie for two the two wild card spots there with the Mariners and the A's only three and three and a half games out of these Wild card spaces, so I don't know man things We might have to keep an eye on these because things are for he can he did my man Yeah, they're heated and blue jays are trying to give it away They should have taken care of business against Rasmussen in the race yesterday, but they did not lost two to nothing at multiple times left runners On base. I don't understand what we're doing and now they a's a three and a half behind after they had a seven to two Lead and lost the game 10 to 7 yesterday. So it's it's shit showing the I appreciate you bringing that to our attention.

I appreciate your sidebar as always because I mean Division races ain't really that crazy. I mean the NL East I guess is a little up in the air the NL West is which is actually kind of major I mean the Giants and Dodgers are I think they might even both be locked in and the Dodgers are very on the cusp of being locked in but Either those teams get in the wild card game. There's anything crazy can happen. I'll play in one of these other teams I mean, I guess there's not so many aces on these steps I guess except for maybe the Padres I guess so anything can happen in one game baseball play off my man And if the Dodgers are giants whoever's in that game they're on upset watch my friends September baseball is upon us Sir, thank you for your side.

You know the deal I don't just let you guys leave this show after having some laughs catching some good vibes hanging out with me and my partner Having some good times. I don't just leave you with that and let you go running back into this world field Toxicity now we gave you a little bit we pulled you out of the tuxus right for just a little while But we got to arm you up now, right? We got to toss a little bit of something else extra on you So you can look across the battlefield as always say see those flaming arrows coming right across at you and say You had thought today and start ripping them out of the sky one at a time and breaking them over your knee So without further ado ladies and gentlemen it is time to get into my motivation minutes of the day Another short and sweet one for you guys here today I won't make you go down too many rabbit holes on this beautiful hump day if you will but this one I think is really really important and I've I've wrote about this one before in my inspiration corner when we just had the TTL newsletter But I thought it bared bared bared whenever they're saying that right bringing back to the surface and The message today the entire so you kind of have a thought to where have your mindset is just breathe and relax And I suppose the one thing that I wanted to start off by saying is I give you permission to chill out I give you permission to slow down This life can speed us up so fast so many times and we can have our job and our personal relationship Or maybe our romantic relationship and then our personal relationships and then our personal lives ourselves and everything pulling so much At the same time that we get so sped up and oh my gosh And then all of a sudden you find and start to see that oh my gosh all I'm doing is just for everybody else And I never have time for me anymore and before you know it You're just all over the place and you're filled with anxiety and fear and wondering what's gonna happen and oh my get Slow down let's come right to this moment for a second and I've shared this acronym with you in a past But if you don't remember anything you can't grab some of the messages that I put down What are the case might be remember this? When you're sped up when you're speeding through life when your brain not you your brain is going a hundred miles a minute And you can't figure out how to grab a hold of it to come back to the center to do what you need to do Remember this acronym oh Matt oh M a a a t oh Matt one moment at a time You're in traffic you're spinning you're going wild you don't know what's happening somebody just cuts you off at ads more to it Oh my god.

Oh Matt oh Matt and maybe just maybe oh Matt becomes your new your new saying your new acronym if you will motto if you will yeah like how I told you guys in the past minus you are kind you are smart You are important and I'm totally missing on the word right now I wish I knew the exact mantra mantra my guy hey here coming through in the clutch So it becomes your mantra maybe something you can think about there But also I wanted to kind of look at this from another side of the coin and send you guys away with this thought in Order to relax and breathe and just step back for a moment and live one moment at a time You have to want to it doesn't magically happen. You don't just mysteriously get granded peace I don't know where you have to work at it You have to want to come to your center you have to want to control your brain You have to have the mindset that your brain is a muscle and you are you not those thoughts that are going around On here all day and I know that's far out to a lot of people and that's crazy that I would even say something like that But it's the stone cold truth and the moment that you Make the decision that you are just gonna choose peace and you are going to seek the calm in the everyday storm Then that continues to come your way, but you have to want to you can't just say I'm just gonna breathe I'm just gonna relax and then go right back into it You have to want to get better you have to want to slow down or all of this is pointless And the final thing I wanted to leave you with is kind of a quote to sum all of that up And it's from the legendary Ralph Waldo Emerson and the quote is nothing can bring you peace But yourself I'll say that again. Give you a little extra time to think on that nothing can bring you peace But yourself you have to want peace you have to want to slow down if you are done with the anxiety the worry the fear You have to be ready to alleviate it yourself Because that's how it happens you choose to make adversity your friend You choose to look obstacles straight in the face and turn them into opportunities in your path You make that your mindset that nothing is going to break you down regardless of what it is and you'll step back When things get to be too much and assess things one moment at a time So today my friends a little bit less in depth a little bit less crazy Maybe just kind of an opportunity if you've been sped up for me to tell you to Slow down take a break just breathe relax and I've said it before Give yourself some grace stop being so hard on yourself You got enough pressures from every other possible thing person being whatever you want to come up with is giving your pressures Stop putting on yourself Choose to make your life a little bit easier by doing it yourself You have the ability my friends just breathe and just relax And that does it for my motivation minutes of the day good stuff I mean I will save some time because we're getting close to an hour and a half But there is always my friend show enough. I appreciate it good sir Everybody out there just calm down a little bit Just relax a little bit take a deep breath and if you remember nothing oh Matt Omaat one moment at a time.

We are bleeding into the hour and a half and we'd like to keep these closer to an hour now But that's all right We have some important stuff to get through and some solid motivation minutes to dish out that all being said 24 official minutes till episode number two of the wise words podcast is alive on YouTube for your viewing pleasure So it's time to get you guys out of here get yourself a little bathroom break Re-up on that water so you can lock back in watch it live in prime time at the premiere So without further ado partner anything I missed anything.
