00:00Well, it is NFL schedule release day.
00:02This is Sean and RJ along with Cowboys insider Bobby Bell.
00:05Which I don't know about timing yet, but I may be over at Russell Manor by that time.
00:12Where's that?
00:12I don't know. You've got to send me the address.
00:14You haven't sent it to me yet because I'm having a sleepover at Peyton's house tonight.
00:17What?
00:18We only have one bed.
00:20You know, this is going to get dicey.
00:21Oh, it's going to get all Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in there.
00:24We're going to be like the grandparents.
00:25We're going to have to preview that in the Neighborhood Watch at 740.
00:30You know, I used to schedule release day to me.
00:34Okay, whatever.
00:36It's kind of like tipping the picks on draft night.
00:39I hated that.
00:40And I stay away from social media.
00:41We already know the opponents.
00:43The most interesting thing about tonight is the way that the teams do it.
00:48Right.
00:48With their skits.
00:49Yeah, the little bits.
00:51The Cowboys used Taylor Sheridan in the past.
00:55They used him with the Yellowstone theme.
00:58We've seen the Chargers did a...
01:01Chargers usually dominate, right?
01:03They usually do a good one.
01:04They did a Game of Thrones one one year, which is pretty cool.
01:06Maybe there's the Falcons.
01:07So there's some good ones out there.
01:09That's really...
01:10Cowboys have always lagged in this area, I feel like.
01:14Pretty bad.
01:15They don't have to.
01:16See, the teams that have the...
01:18No, everybody has to.
01:19Everybody's got to come with something strong.
01:22But the thought is that the teams that have to have a great, elite, creative social media team
01:31are the ones that don't have the great promotion from being the superstar team.
01:36Like the Lakers, the Cowboys, the Yankees.
01:39The thought in the organizations is like, ah, we're above that.
01:42Leave that to the Sacramento Kings.
01:45What is the theme of the preview that they put out?
01:49I don't know.
01:49Go look on their...
01:50A cult ritual?
01:51They're about to...
01:52I don't know what the hell's going on in that video.
01:54It's got to be some show or movie we're not aware of.
01:56They threw Tyler Guyton in it.
01:58That's probably going to be good prospects for him heading into training camp.
02:00Was he wearing his wedding outfit?
02:02Was he playing...
02:02Was he on the right side?
02:03I thought he was on the right side of the screen.
02:05That could mean he's playing right tackle.
02:06That could very well be.
02:07No, he had the...
02:08It's like three of them out of...
02:10It was like the big hoods over there, and they were swinging...
02:12I don't know.
02:13They looked like they were about to do...
02:14Harry Potter thing.
02:15Something.
02:16Are you saying it?
02:17Yeah, I don't know what it is.
02:18What is that?
02:19I don't know.
02:20I don't know what that is.
02:21Y'all, let us know in the fan text what the...
02:23It looks like they're about to drink the Kool-Aid, like they're in a cult ceremony.
02:26What a segue.
02:28That's what it is to you.
02:29Rich...
02:30There we go.
02:30Rich Eisen.
02:32One who I would not say is generally prone to wild, like, hot takes, or...
02:38He'll have his own little different take sometimes, and usually the way he likes to drop
02:42it is, he'll go, you know what I think?
02:44I think, you know...
02:45And he'll try to, like, just drop it as, like, a quick thing.
02:47He doesn't want to make a whole bunch of waves, but yesterday, he was going through his top
02:50teams in the NFL.
02:51He's running through the top ten, and his producer, I cannot remember the guy's name
02:54right now, his producer is, like, a massive Cowboys fan.
02:57Yeah.
02:57And so they talk about the Cowboys on there a lot, and they're always, you know, messing
03:01with him and poking him about, like, oh, you know, Cowboys, what are they going
03:04to do?
03:05Well, Rich Eisen, apparently, is now a big believer in the Dallas Cowboys, putting them
03:11in his top five.
03:13Number five.
03:14Hey, guys, say that.
03:16No.
03:18Come on.
03:19I believe in him.
03:20No way!
03:21I'm putting the Dallas Cowboys in the top five.
03:24Oh.
03:25Oh, yeah.
03:26Wow.
03:26I think they've nailed it.
03:28Winning the offseason.
03:29I think that...
03:30Well, that's what...
03:31It is the middle of the offseason.
03:32We are right in the middle of the offseason that they have been winning.
03:36That defensive line, I know they coughed up Odigazua to San Francisco, by the way,
03:41but Rashawn Gary, Kenny Clark, Quentin Williams, the kid they just drafted, Malachi Lawrence,
03:49Overshown, my guy Jay Sean Barham out of Michigan where they drafted, Caleb Downs on the back
03:54end.
03:55I think they have checked some defensive boxes, man.
03:59Whoa.
03:59And offensively...
04:01Whoa.
04:01It was already nice.
04:02There is one...
04:03How do you not have them as maybe a top five offense in the NFL?
04:08Seventh best odds to win the NFC.
04:10Okay.
04:11Those people don't know everything.
04:12These are my power rankings.
04:14I'm putting the Cowboys five.
04:16Ooh.
04:16Not just putting them five.
04:18Leading off with all these points about...
04:20Look at these...
04:20Look at these pieces they have on defense.
04:22How intriguing is it?
04:23Oh, and yeah.
04:24I mean, I guess their offense is top five, too.
04:27It's wild the lapping up of the Cowboys Kool-Aid that's going on nationally right now.
04:32I don't remember nationally there being this much buzz about them as like, oh yeah, that's
04:37a team that's really going to do something this year.
04:39It's getting uncomfortable now.
04:40They did a lot of things right in the draft.
04:43I mean, they didn't...
04:44We think.
04:45We think.
04:46We think.
04:46We don't know.
04:46We don't know.
04:47We've had some bad draft classes here recently.
04:49Bad.
04:50It could just be that Michigan connection.
04:52That Eisen always loves anybody with a Michigan connection.
04:54That's right.
04:55But yeah, it's just like, you know, the right pick...
04:58The right pick.
04:59Whether he works out, but the right pick was Caleb Downs.
05:02They didn't screw it up.
05:04They could have screwed it up.
05:05It was impossible to screw it up at that point.
05:07The only way they could have...
05:08I was seeing him.
05:08It might be better.
05:09Who knows?
05:09He might be.
05:10He might be.
05:11But like, you know, on that draft day, unequivocally, he was the better...
05:16Downs the better player.
05:17Yeah.
05:17So...
05:18I'm being a smartass.
05:18Yeah.
05:19They made the right picks.
05:23There's something to be bullish about.
05:24They made the right decision.
05:25We think, again, on defensive coordinator, this was an offseason.
05:32They couldn't have screwed up, and they didn't.
05:36817 says, low-hanging fruit from Rich.
05:38He's better than that.
05:40See, that's...
05:40I agree.
05:41Rich does not go for low-hanging fruit and stuff like that.
05:43That's why I think he genuinely probably feels this way.
05:46Is that he...
05:47Yeah.
05:47And that's why it is surprising to me that there's so much buy-in nationally.
05:51And maybe it's just because there is...
05:53Everyone's following this formula.
05:55Offense is really good.
05:58Defense was here.
05:59We think the defense can be here.
06:01And that means you're in the playoffs.
06:03Yeah, and I mean, maybe...
06:05Maybe Christian Parker doesn't get talked about like this if he's hired in...
06:09Absolutely.
06:10You know, Arizona to be the defensive coordinator.
06:13Yes.
06:13But now, all of a sudden, everybody's dropping his name.
06:15He's got to be the most spoken-name defensive coordinator in the NFL this offseason on, like, national media.
06:22They...
06:22And it's part...
06:23Man, he's this up-and-coming star.
06:26And it's the Dallas Cowboys and putting all that together and, like, how bad they were.
06:30And so, I guess it's just a perfect storm for looking at him as like, man, here's a test case.
06:33But it's...
06:34This is the star.
06:35It's the power of the hype.
06:36And nobody knew who Christian Parker was a week before he was hired.
06:40No.
06:41No.
06:41Nobody did.
06:44And now you come here and you get this profile and you get hyped up and you get covered like
06:50this.
06:50And the Cowboys are a top-five team, according to Rich Eisen.
06:53But here's CBS Sports to bring us back down to earth.
06:57Spike, the roofie, the Kool-Aid.
06:58Man, talk about...
06:59Right there.
07:00Roofie and the Kool-Aid.
07:01So, they did their tiers of who they would bet on to win the Super Bowl.
07:06Now, granted, this is just...
07:10Is there any value?
07:12Right?
07:12Is there any value in betting on these guys?
07:14Okay.
07:15All right.
07:16To win it all?
07:16To win it all.
07:18So, the tiers...
07:19There are eight tiers.
07:21Tier 8.
07:22Thanks.
07:23No thanks at any price.
07:25That's the hell no.
07:27And then the number one tier is like your contender tier.
07:30And the bottom ones are your usuals, right?
07:32Your Jets, your Dolphins, Arizona.
07:35The guys all the way at the top.
07:37Again, usual suspects.
07:39The top three, the best bets.
07:41Kansas City, again, value.
07:43Because you're getting 16-1.
07:45And then Seattle.
07:46And then, actually, they have Philadelphia at 18-1.
07:50And I went, I was like, all right, let's just see where they have the Cowboys.
07:52Because everybody has been hyping up the Dallas Cowboys.
07:57Tier 2, the contenders.
07:59Denver at 20-1.
08:02Jacksonville at 25-1.
08:04Chargers at 16-1.
08:06Lions at 17-1.
08:08Bears at 25-1.
08:10Rams at 7-1.
08:11And basically what they're saying is, there's no value on the Rams.
08:13So, we're not going to place a great bet on them at 7-1.
08:16Packers at 20-1.
08:17All right, deep sleepers.
08:20Minnesota, 55-1.
08:22Oh, I know we're in this class at least.
08:24Giants, 70-1.
08:27Atlanta, 80-1.
08:30Let's head on over to Tier 4.
08:31Still nothing.
08:32Stop.
08:32Who made this?
08:33CBS.
08:34RJ White.
08:35It's an RJ.
08:36It's a betting RJ.
08:38Not quite sleepers.
08:39Another whore.
08:41Another media whore for attention.
08:43Houston, 20-1.
08:44Houston is behind.
08:47Name the top, the group right above them.
08:50Atlanta, Giants, Minnesota.
08:52But again, look at the value for the return on your money.
08:56Oh, okay.
08:57Right?
08:57Because the Giants are 70-1.
09:00Oh, okay.
09:01Right?
09:01Houston's 20-1.
09:02So, the Cowboys are going to have such low value because they're so loved.
09:06Yes.
09:06They're not going to be higher up.
09:08A thousand percent.
09:09San Fran.
09:10Apologize for the whore.
09:12San Fran at 16-1.
09:13One Cincy.
09:14Just a skank.
09:15Tier 5.
09:16You can make a case.
09:17Washington.
09:18The Titans at 175-1.
09:22Indy and the Bucs at 40-45-1.
09:25How about this?
09:27Tier 6 is your favorites at awful prices.
09:30Which means the odds are too low.
09:32Buffalo at 10-1.
09:33Ravens at 10-1.
09:34And then you get to Tier 7.
09:36Not enough value to consider.
09:38Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Cleveland, Carolina, the Raiders.
09:43And at number 29, the Dallas Cowboys at 22-1.
09:49And the write-up is, the Cowboys in particular are a strange case.
09:54Love the downs edition.
09:55Defense is so bad.
09:57Can't understand why the market is so bullish on them, though, to give them better odds than
10:01the Bears and the Jaguars that put them within spitting distance of Philadelphia.
10:06So, basically saying, Vegas has so overcorrected on them, they've ruined any value they have.
10:1422-1 bad value?
10:17It's not great.
10:18It's not great.
10:19So, that's improvement.
10:21You know, we've compared them to Cincinnati a lot, in a lot of respects.
10:25Like, good offense, just a terrible defense.
10:28You know, Cincinnati's 25-1.
10:31I put down 20 bucks, Cowboys in the Super Bowl, I have $440.
10:35That, to me, is not bad value.
10:38I'm looking through his history now.
10:39Now I've got to look and see what other dumb stuff he said.
10:41So, he said that the Seahawks were the eighth best value to win the Super Bowl out of, like,
10:48the 12-14 teams that were in there going into the postseason.
10:52He said what you should have bet on heading into Week 18, throw some money down on Ravens
10:56versus Bears or Jaguars versus Bears.
10:59That's where the value is.
11:00He thought the Jags were the best value in there.
11:02And even the Rams, there were, like, two teams that had better odds than the Seahawks
11:05that he had as better betting values.
11:07So, there's your Vegas...
11:08You should replace that RJ as a bet analyst.
11:11There's your Vegas...
11:12Well, they just replaced our RJ as a betting analyst.
11:16Right.
11:17Does Sandler be betting, too?
