00:00Because we'll take a look at the first game tonight, Tennessee Titans at the Atlanta Falcons.
00:03The line for the Titans, they are favored at minus three and a half points,
00:06and a total listed at over 37 and a half.
00:09I know you can't really judge, Joe, like game number one to game number two.
00:12Titans got smashed, came rolling in a couple snaps, maybe gets more tonight at this point.
00:16But there's a reason why odds makers have put the Tennessee Titans at a minus three and a half.
00:20Like, are we not going to see a lot of Michael Penix?
00:22Do we get to see Kirk Cousins in this game?
00:24Are the Falcons just saying we're going to sit this one out?
00:26Because there's sometimes where you read the tea leaves, and early in the week,
00:29like, we'll get to the Kansas City Chiefs game in just a few moments,
00:31where Big Red's like, hey, you know what?
00:33I don't think, you know, Patrick Mahomes is playing.
00:35Instant line move.
00:36There's a reason where the Titans got smashed in week number one.
00:39Now we're on the road in a preseason game number two,
00:41and our three and a half point favorites here, Joe.
00:44Yeah, and we already know Cam Ward's going to be back under center again for this one.
00:50What did he go?
00:50Five of eight, 67 yards.
00:52Him and Calvin Ridley seem to be on the same page there.
00:57He's not going to play as long as he did in the first game.
01:00But they said he's going to be out there for a couple of series.
01:03And yes, when you have young quarterbacks like Cam Ward, who are the possible future,
01:09yes, we are told that Penix Jr. won't play for the Falcons here.
01:15We're also being told there's a whole lot of other starters now that won't be in the game
01:21for the Falcons here tonight.
01:23And that's fine.
01:24But Cam Ward is going to play because they've got to get him up to speed quickly here
01:30as the NFL season regular, you know, the games are going to start mattering here in three weeks.
01:36Yeah, we don't get a lot of individual player props for games here,
01:40but some outlets do allow us to do that.
01:42If we take a look at FanDuel, Cam Ward to throw a touchdown pass on his first offensive drive
01:47is a plus 460 price.
01:48Tony Pollard to score a touchdown on his first offensive drive is a plus 650.
01:52I don't necessarily love those type of props because, first of all, it's hard to score a touchdown
01:57in an NFL game anyway, let alone, okay, I'm going to take the opening drive and go down the field.
02:00But at least, you know, the defense is probably tuned up and excited and ready to go.
02:03But the Tennessee Titans, Joe, to throw one touchdown pass in this entire game is minus 400.
02:10And to throw two touchdown passes as a team, it's a plus 130.
02:13If they're the favorites, and we have a total around 40 points, you could probably factor in what?
02:18At least three touchdowns possibly for the Titans today?
02:21Do we think one or two at least can come from the pass?
02:25Yeah, I think that's, you know, each team has got something to work on coming into this week, right?
02:31And we didn't see a whole lot from the passing game with Cam Warder.
02:35I mean, it was nice, but I think maybe they opened it up a little bit, pushed the ball down the field.
02:41One of Cam Ward's traits here is that he can air it out.
02:45He's got a pretty good deep ball.
02:46We'll see if they take a few shots here and give him an opportunity to get something going.
