Transcript

00:00saints were competitive at home and then they laid this absolute egg this past week and it does look

00:06like no one's going to ever say tanking but i think we've gotten to the point in the season

00:10brady where you're going to see a lot of lopsided results with the new orleans saints they are

00:14absolutely the least talented team i think start to finish in the nfl and that is with the jets i

00:19do think the jets are more talented than the saints they're going to roll out tyler shuck

00:22who they're going to throw a dart and pray that this guy maybe could be a backup quarterback to

00:28whoever they draft next season they're getting 14 and a half points i think this line is going to go

00:32higher by the time the game kicks off 43 and a half total couldn't score last week shuck came in

00:38didn't look very good rams uh you know they're kind of humming right now here a little bit but they also

00:44had some help from jacksonville who did nothing when they played of course in london a couple of weeks

00:49ago so man laying 14 and a half in the nfl is always a losing proposition but brady this is one of those

00:57teams that as we get halfway through the nfl season you could see the saints losing pretty

01:01much every game the rest of the season it's just a matter of if they cover any right and i think

01:06that's kind of the identity that the saints had the first half of the season is that they're playing

01:11really hard they they tried to be competitive they they put forth the effort and you got to give

01:17kellen more credit for that but still it didn't necessarily matter they weren't covering spreads now

01:22they've gone to a an alternate choice at quarterback um they and a couple of injuries too uh kendra

01:29miller you know the running back i think he's out for the season and i think it was eric mccoy the

01:33center i don't know if he's out for the season but i mean it's when you don't have a lot of talent to

01:39begin with and you lose a couple of good players like that especially your center that's really a big

01:44blow and if you've looked at the nfl the last couple of seasons maybe even the last handful of seasons

01:50these big favorites have actually been covering more often than they have not been we saw it just

01:56last week with the indianapolis colts is 14 plus point favorites right and they got it done over

02:01the tennessee titans so there's really a lot of haves and have nots you know what we saw last week in

02:07the nfl these favorites you know winning by multiple possessions one game last week in the nfl was decided

02:14by only one possession and that was the aforementioned jets and bangles everything else was

02:19basically blowout territory multiple possessions i'd probably lay it here with the rams before i

02:24took it we don't know what to make of taylor tyler shook the rams off of a bye but but coming off of

02:32the london game so typically i don't like to bet on a team that's on a good roll and the and the buy

02:38kind of makes you pause and and halt that momentum but i think it's a little bit different when you're

02:43coming back from uh from london you need that break for a minute after that trip i think the rams are

02:49really good their defense is very good i think this is all rams and i would lay it
