00:00Take a look at Seattle and Atlanta.

00:01Atlanta just can't win football games.

00:03It's not what they do anymore.

00:04Kirk Cousins is under center.

00:05He looks like a fossil back there, dropping back to pass.

00:08Doesn't have much talent at wide receiver, but he does have B.

00:10John Robinson and Tyler Algier.

00:12And I don't know how good that's going to be.

00:14Seattle's defense is really good.

00:15Seattle is on the road.

00:16It's in the dome.

00:17Not worried about any cold weather conditions here.

00:19Do we have a bounce back game on offense for Seattle?

00:21Because you might say to yourself, like, oh, what do you mean?

00:23Scored 26 points last week.

00:24Well, not necessarily.

00:25He did have a defensive touchdown, and they just took the air out of the football.

00:28Atlanta, can they show up as roughly seven-point dogs, win or cover?

00:34Or is this Raheem Morris just playing out the string there with Atlanta at this point?

00:38Well, you know, here's the problem.

00:40And we alluded to this a little bit earlier, is that, you know,

00:43Sam Darnold's history as a quarterback in the NFL is, you know,

00:48not great against the teams he's supposed to beat.

00:51And that's a little bit worrisome here that you're expecting this team to go on the road

00:56against a desperate Atlanta team who's always been better at home anyway than they've been

01:01anyplace else.

01:02Not that that's saying much.

01:04But the reality is they still have some weapons.

01:06They still have a good running game.

01:08The defense should be a little bit better.

01:12And I don't trust Sam Darnold in these kinds of spots, laying these kinds of numbers.

01:17Seattle will win?

01:18Likely.

01:19Are they going to be winning by more than a touchdown?

01:22That's a big ass guy here, Donnie, with him.

01:25How about a big ass?

01:26Tyler Shuck going on the road and knocking off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

01:29But they don't have to actually win this game.

01:30They do have to cover the spread.

01:32That's eight and a half points as a favorite towards Tampa.

01:35What do we see last week, Joe?

01:36We saw Baker Mayfield, who we thought his arm fell off,

01:40only to play and throw and look pretty successful in that game.

01:42Also, you get your running backs all in order.

01:45Bucky looked good last week.

01:46Maybe an extra week of practice helps him as well.

01:49I do think the Bucs win, but that's not the question.

01:51Can the Bucs cover the eight and a half here, Joe?

01:54I don't.

01:55I mean, have we seen anything from Tampa that makes us think they're worth laying eight and a half points against anybody here?

02:02I mean, it's not as if New Orleans rolled over on the road against Miami last week.

02:08They had an opportunity to actually win that game.

02:11The defense is playing very, very well.

02:14And by the way, Baker Mayfield, 16 and 10 straight up, but 7 and 19 against the number as a home favorite since 2020.

02:23They are much better as an underdog, this Tampa Bay team with Baker Mayfield.

02:28Not a team laying eight and a half points, Donnie.

02:31This could be a hold your nose and take the points here because I don't trust them at all.

02:35I don't trust them at all.
