00:02 - All right, so let's talk about two other teams

00:07 going in different directions,

00:08 at least for the time being could change.

00:10 The Jets were very fortunate a couple of weeks ago

00:12 to beat the Giants.

00:13 That was really a loss.

00:14 And they played awful on Monday night.

00:16 Now the best bet in sports, Brady,

00:19 and I've said this on the show,

00:20 I said it Friday here on the show,

00:21 rarely do I say my favorite bet

00:23 or anything here on the show

00:24 was automatically take the Raiders.

00:27 You know why, Brady?

00:28 Because I don't care any coach that gets fired

00:30 in the NFL, in college football, the NBA,

00:33 Major League Baseball, go across the board.

00:35 The team wants to prove that it was the coach's fault

00:39 and not theirs.

00:40 And boy, did that show up for the Raiders

00:42 against the Giants.

00:43 So for me, I'm just not sure

00:45 where the Jets are headed at this point.

00:47 I know they have a good defense

00:48 that didn't show up really all that much on Monday night.

00:51 And same thing with like the Dobbs conversation

00:53 with the Raiders.

00:54 Is this like a temporary boost

00:56 for the Raiders off that one way

00:58 with Antonio Pierce?

00:59 And now we're back to where we were?

01:00 I tend to think so.

01:02 - Exactly.

01:03 Great minds think alike, Craig.

01:05 You know, the Raiders not only really responding

01:09 in the wake of their coach being fired,

01:10 but a coach that they didn't like.

01:12 So you had not only the team wanting to prove

01:15 that it wasn't their fault,

01:16 but a guy that they didn't like is now out of the building.

01:19 So they were really on fire and inspired and enthused

01:22 and beat the Giants handily.

01:25 But let's slow down a little bit.

01:27 Not only are the Giants a bad team,

01:29 they didn't have their quarterback for most of that game.

01:32 So let's not get too excited too quickly

01:34 about the Las Vegas Raiders.

01:36 And you're exactly right.

01:37 It's similar to the Dobbs situation.

01:39 The Dobbs situation with the Vikings,

01:41 they rally the troops because their star is injured.

01:44 The Las Vegas Raiders rally

01:46 because their coach has been fired.

01:48 Now it's back to reality for both of these teams.

01:51 And will that hold over or will it wear off

01:54 for both the Vikings and the Las Vegas Raiders?

01:57 I'm not quite sure yet.

01:59 I make the Jets a one and a half point favorite.

02:02 That's exactly where it is.

02:04 The Jets is a road favorite, sounds scary.

02:08 But the public is probably going to be on the Raiders here

02:11 because they believe this team has new life.

02:13 And I think they do, but to what extent?

02:16 And they just saw the Jets on Monday night

02:18 be absolutely pathetic on offense.

02:21 So I think it is a little bit of a buy low spot on the Jets.

02:25 Now, we saw what that Chargers pass rush did

02:28 to that beat up offensive line for the Jets.

02:31 The Raiders have a very good pass rush as well.

02:33 And their defense is actually pretty decent,

02:35 far improved over last year

02:37 in the defensive side of the ball for Las Vegas.

02:40 So I don't think that side of the ball

02:42 will necessarily see any regression,

02:44 but overall I think the Jets

02:46 are probably the better team here.

02:48 And that's why the odds makers have them as a road favorite.

02:51 That's why I do.

02:52 But it's very similar, the Minnesota Saints situation

02:56 where you have a couple of different angles going

02:59 and the Raiders and the Jets.

03:01 And you wonder if those immediate reactions

03:04 to the Cousins injury and the McDaniels firing

03:07 will hold over or wear off in this follow-up game.

03:10 So I think those are,

03:11 the Niners and the Jaguars ought to be really good.

03:14 And these two are very interesting.
