00:00You know, we saw this last night, right?

00:02Does that trend continue where, you know,

00:04the dogs were barking last night,

00:07and, well, they also happen to be all home dogs.

00:10You've got Carolina laying six and a half.

00:13I don't know about that.

00:15We've got a quarterback battle happening tonight with the Browns.

00:18We have no quarterback controversy happening in Carolina, ironically.

00:23And a lot of times you bet with your gut.

00:24It's like, okay, I think this is what's going to happen.

00:26I think Shadou is going to be set up for success.

00:27I think they're going to game plan.

00:28And then it doesn't turn out to work out, and that's the preseason.

00:30It's what you get.

00:32Game number two tonight I want to take a look at.

00:33Detroit and Atlanta, which is intriguing to me.

00:35Not because of the Atlanta Falcons, and not really because of Detroit,

00:38but just the circumstances.

00:40Like, Dan Campbell, okay, this season is on me.

00:43I don't have my superstar coordinators.

00:44I'm going to talk about Aaron Glenn was a great defensive coordinator.

00:47He just got dealt a bad card last year because why?

00:49The entire defense was injured down the stretch.

00:51But Ben Johnson, widely respected, is one of the best offensive-minded football.

00:55He's not there, which now leaves Dan Campbell.

00:57I'll run this ship all by myself.

00:58I will be just fine.

00:59They were embarrassing in week zero of the preseason.

01:03Again, that Pro Football Hall of Fame game.

01:05Again, preseason doesn't mean a lot, but there's pride in that building that they got crushed.

01:10So I see that price point at minus three and a half, and I want to buy into it as a favor for Detroit.

01:15But in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.

01:17But also, do you want to get beat like 28-7 again and just have people start to ask questions like,

01:22well, maybe it is your coordinators.

01:23Even though it is only in the preseason, like I just feel like I need to bet Detroit tonight because they can't lose this game

01:29because Dan Campbell's like, I need a better performance or we're going to go to boot camp next week.
