00:00but right now we're looking at even money and plus 105 for this first topic and that is for

00:04the nfl's regular season mvp the players drake may even money and matthew stafford plus 105 now

00:12right before we came on the air our producer sam why the sports guy behind the glass

00:16posited a question and i put it out to you joe can a guy that has not thrown for 300 yards in

00:21a single game win the nfl's mvp i assume he's talking about drake may yeah well again most

00:28valuable player right so if you take him away what becomes of this team we take drake may away from

00:33this team it's not a special offense right there's no puka nakua there's no davante adams or kyra

00:38williams right you know there's none of those guys uh both defenses of the rams and the patriots are

00:42very good i still think the rams are the best quote-unquote talented team in the nfl but i think

00:46that gap got a lot shorter between them and the patriots week over week and people say well who

00:51have they beaten to right and and i think that conversation goes on and on and let's not forget

00:56the giants were a team that took the denver broncos to the brink lost in the fourth quarter

01:00blew a lead in the game they should have won right they did the same thing with the chicago bears who

01:03were the number one z like for all the all the they're a bad team i i seem to remember james

01:08winston and the giants should have won in detroit two weeks ago too everybody forget that so the

01:14giants record is bad but i think just to call the giants straight up bad is not paying attention to

01:18what's happened this season they have taken playoff teams over and over again in the nfc to the

01:23brink of uh you know disaster and they've fallen apart and unfortunately that's cost brian daybo's

01:29job and the defensive coordinator's job and all that but the drake may thing he hasn't had to

01:34necessarily do that because the defense has been so good drake may is first in completion percentage

01:39he's first in passing epa he's first in passing yards he is first in air yards per attempt he is

01:45first in completion air yards per attempt passer rating he's first in uh completed air yards and also

01:52mvp odds as you're going to see right now right now plus 100 matthew stafford plus uh 105 right now

01:58you're getting in some markets here and i guess the point is this it's which narrative is the nfl

02:06marketplace going to take are they going to take well matthew stafford you know this is his last shot

02:11mvp here you go it's like when al pacino won uh the oscar for scent of a woman is it his best role

02:17no but you know we wanted to give al pacino one before you know it was too late to give him one

02:22and you're kind of wondering is the 2025 season matthew stafford scent of a woman it's a good season

02:28don't get me wrong but you know drake may on the other hand we're looking at a guy who is you know

02:33going from basically you know in a situation where he played a couple games last year in an awful

02:38situation to being first in everything and it's a tough one because then the other narrative

02:44is anointing and making a new star and both narratives are very valuable and i think they're

02:50really interesting to voters and i think this is a very tough one i haven't bet this because i still

02:54think it's that close i would lean towards the sentiment of the voter body instead of the anointing

02:59of the new star but at a certain point the next two weeks drake may could be undeniable it's really

03:05interesting market right for those two and remember when matthew stafford wasn't going to play all year

03:08remember in august where he wasn't practicing and now he's uh number two for mvp so go figure

03:13yeah and if you look at it the pats atop the afc the bears atop the nfc can we see a rematch of the

03:181985 super bowl and we'll be the same outcome i doubt it all right let's go on this is going to be

03:23a fun thing here uh last week you were portending what would happen with the jaguars and the colts

03:28flip let's last week the colts were minus 210 to win the afc south jacksonville plus 280 this week joe

03:35i'll let you take it from here yeah this week boom look at the difference we said jacksonville would go

03:40ahead of the colts and they did so this was the time last week to beat jacksonville they had two

03:45games remaining against the tennessee titans the houston texans were playing the colts we said that

03:50the texans would at least cover if not win that game and they did and they have to play the texans

03:55again later in the season in week 18 it's a bad timing of schedule with a quarterback that has a

04:00broken leg and look i don't love the jaguars believe me they are probably my kryptonite when it

04:05comes to betting my entire life but i will say this the last time the indianapolis colts have

04:11uh beaten the jacksonville jaguars in jacksonville i think people were still doing the macarena or

04:16something like it's a long time baby that's what i'm saying it's been a very very long time so just

04:22go check that out even when the jaguars are bad the colts somehow struggle in jacksonville

04:26i think the jags are in a great pole position right now and i think they are in a spot where if they win

04:31today this might even be minus 135 by the time we get to next week so this is your last chance to get

04:37some value on the jags even if they lose today all is not lost they have another game against the colts

04:41coming up they couldn't split but again it's that difference of schedule down the stretch for these

04:45two teams and what we needed to have happen to happen last week if you were in on it you're in a good

04:50spot to make some money
