00:00I mentioned interesting games. I probably haven't asked your opinion on

00:07the interesting games quite yet. We talked about the Jets and the Colts. We

00:10talked about the Thursday night football matchup, which I do actually think will

00:13be a good one, but let's jump ahead a little bit here. Baltimore Ravens versus

00:16the Steelers. Three and a half spread, 47 and a half on the current total. Big

00:21battle and win for the Steelers this past weekend. Ravens showing that they

00:25want to get to the top of the AFC. So what do you think of this one? The first

00:30thing I would note, especially early in the week, if you are someone that bets

00:34lines early in the week, you have to shop for the best lines available. And this is

00:39something that I think is maybe not talked about enough. The Ravens right now

00:43are minus three and a half, like you said. That's on Fangle. They're sitting at minus

00:47104 on that minus three and a half, but on DraftKings they're sitting at minus

00:51three, and it is juiced a little bit at minus 118. The point being, there is a, I

00:56don't wanna say a massive difference, but we always talk about like key numbers,

00:59right? Three, three and a half, two, two and a half, whatever it might be. A three

01:03is a push, like if they win this game, which is an AFC game, AFC North matchup,

01:07I should say, kind of classic, like cold weather, late season game. This game

01:11could realistically end at three points, and that's a push if you're on the

01:14Ravens. And if it's three and a half and you want to be on the Steelers, that's a

01:18win. The Steelers are covering at three and a half. So the point being, we're

01:21actually seeing some decent lines, or decent differences between lines, and

01:25it's not just this game. There are a few differences between Fangle and DraftKings.

01:28So I like the Steelers at plus three and a half because it's better than three. So

01:33find the best lines available. I also like under 47 and a half, which we're,

01:37I'll certainly be taking in a matchup with the Steelers, have this defense. The

01:40Ravens, we saw it last Thursday, the game that we did, their defense is terrible.

01:45But I don't, like, have an immense amount of trust in the Steelers' offense being

01:50able to do what Cincinnati did last week. So I like the under. I think the

01:54Ravens need to slow the game down because they know they need to focus on

01:58their defense. Yeah, just the Steelers still have some slow moments

02:02offensively, so you can't really count on that when you're gonna compete with a

02:05highly, a high octane offense from the Ravens team.
