00:00Help me out on why the number has gone down.
00:04I mean, you would have thought that number would have went up
00:06with a substitute teacher quarterback going in there.
00:09But, you know, we're looking at it now.
00:12It's gone down.
00:13Do you really think that the money now and the people out there on the street
00:16and the wise guys are saying,
00:17I think that defense is going to keep this game close,
00:20and that's why, and plus the home environment that you just mentioned,
00:23because usually when you lose a guy like a Bo Nix,
00:27that number skyrockets.
00:28How come it's going down and the money's going over towards Denver?
00:32Great question, Dan, and it's surprising.
00:34I guess the people have changed since gambling has become so prominent everywhere.
00:37Like, we've been gambling up here for years, right?
00:40It's one of those things like offshores and whatever.
00:42In Ontario, where I am, this province, they have a million.
00:45Like, you can gamble on anything, horses, lottery, the works.
00:48Like, it's always been here.
00:49But now I think the regular fan with gambling in all states
00:52across the United States, North America,
00:54I think they're becoming a little bit smarter.
00:55They're not just saying, oh, the backup quarterback, let's bet on New England.
00:59And I think people in the know understand Jared Stidham
01:02and understand what Sean Payton can do.
01:04He's a very, very solid coach and taking nothing away from Vrabel.
01:07But remember when the Saints won the Super Bowl, trick play, onside kick.
01:10He will come up with some things in this game,
01:12and I think he's going to try to keep the Patriots off balance.
01:15I expect a really tight game, and I'm really happy I got five and a half.
01:19At three and a half, I'd probably still take Denver
01:20because I think it's going to be a three-point game, Dan.
01:22But that's the whole thing.
01:24I think the gamblers are looking at it going,
01:25what is the drop-off from Bo Nix to Stidham?
01:28And Bo Nix is good, but he can also still make some mistakes.
01:31Stidham hasn't played in a long time, but he's also been around NFL.
01:34You know that, Dan, like with the Raiders and everybody else.
01:37Sean Payton went out and got this guy specifically as a backup quarterback.
01:41You've got to believe this guy doesn't want to have anybody as his backup.
01:44He went there and got Stidham for a reason.
01:46He's got to prove it now.
