00:00We'll get back to business in a second.
00:01Let's touch table on some football.
00:03Big day in the NFL yesterday.
00:05A multitude of trades, rumors.
00:07David, please.
00:10So we are less than 100 days.
00:14Oh, God.
00:15Until week one.
00:17Why you got to do that to me?
00:17The NFL season.
00:19Do not wish away summer.
00:19I'm not wishing away summer.
00:21I'm just giving you the days, okay?
00:23So I'm going to go through a series,
00:26and I'm going to start the series here with
00:28the 10 best bets of the NFL season.
00:32So I'm going to combine the first two
00:34because they include the same team.
00:37I'll start with the week one matchup here
00:39between the Cardinals at the Chargers,
00:42and it says the best bet would be the under 45 and a half.
00:45I'm not doing this.
00:46Because the Cardinals don't have a quarterback.
00:47I'm protesting.
00:48And the Chargers were in the top 10
00:50against the run last year.
00:53I'm not doing it.
00:54The other one is Cardinals under 4 and a half wins
00:56for the season.
00:59I'll comment on the second part.
01:01I am not doing week one.
01:04No.
01:04Come on, Mr. Cast.
01:05They have no quarterback in Arizona.
01:08Stop calling me that.
01:08That's not even a thing.
01:11No.
01:11I can't bet any team to win under four or five games.
01:15Like, you got to be unbelievably horrible.
01:18I can't do that.
01:19As of right now, I could do that, David,
01:21because no quarterback.
01:23So that means you're going to be out there auditioning each and every week.
01:27And whoever has a good week, you move on to the next week.
01:30Oh, you had a bad week.
01:31We start all over again.
01:33Jacoby Brissett is a leader of men.
01:34How dare you?
01:35He may not be a leader of anything if he doesn't show up.
01:38If I was his agent, dude, I know you want a ton of money.
01:43Just go out there, pull a Sam Darnold, lead this team,
01:46and we'll see what happens next year.
01:50But the first one, David, I guess I'll take the under.
01:54I protest.
01:55I will not comment on any week one games.
01:58Next on the list, the Bengals will win the AFC North.
02:02Best bet, plus 210 there.
02:04Man, there's a lot of mojo with this.
02:07You're hearing, like, right now the Lions are, like,
02:10right next to the Bengals in Super Bowl odds.
02:13And I'm going, when did the Bengals get good?
02:16The O-line is still subpar.
02:17The defense has been a shipwreck for years.
02:20Joe Burrow's health has to be called into question.
02:22Yeah, but have you seen him at the Met Gala on the runway?
02:26If this is the answers I'm getting, I'm just not doing this segment.
02:30Mike, I'm saying I think Joe Burrow has just become that popular it thing
02:34that some just are trying to will the success on him.
02:39I'd love to see it.
02:40It's just that the franchise is toxic.
02:43You lose Trey Hendrickson, what would they do?
02:45What did they have?
02:46I'm going to say no, David.
02:48I'm still going to say Baltimore wins that division.
02:51I'm down for another Lamar playoff disappointment.
02:54That sounds right.
02:56Next one here would be a David Montgomery over 774 and a half rushing yards.
03:02They think they improve their offensive line.
03:05They believe that C.J. Stroud will be better.
03:08I'd go with it.
03:10Yeah, I'd go with it.
03:12Yeah, I would take that as well because he could be that battering ram
03:15that they've been looking for and somebody to kind of take some pressure
03:19off of C.J. Stroud.
03:20He doesn't have to do everything and also run the ball.
03:23He can turn around and hand it off.
03:24So you mentioned Lamar Jackson there a second ago.
03:28So let me go to this one here because they lost Isaiah likely in Baltimore.
03:33So this one will be Mark Andrews over 474 and a half receiving yards because, yeah, they
03:40lost Isaiah likely.
03:41He signed a three-year extension.
03:42Mark Andrews did.
03:43And so, yeah, he's going to need somebody to throw to.
03:45Yeah, it won't be him.
03:46He's old and washed.
03:48I'll be the voice of dissent there.
03:50I'm out on Mark Andrews.
03:53No, David, I'm going to buy that because I think that he is going to try to show that
03:58he's not old and washed.
04:00I think it's almost going to be a spite thing.
04:02Give me the ball.
04:03I can do this.
04:04I can make this happen because I still think in the back of his mind, he still remembers
04:07he dropped that.
04:08What was it?
04:09The two-point conversion in the game?
04:11It was a touchdown, wasn't it?
04:12It was a touchdown or two-point conversion.
04:13He dropped the ball in the end zone.
04:15Bad throw.
04:17Whatever.
04:19This one should be to your liking.
04:21Hit him in his hands.
04:22Bad throw.
04:23He had to reach behind him.
04:24Oh, he's an NFL player.
04:25I don't care.
04:26David, this one should be to your liking because you love this team.
04:31You believe that this team is going to do special things this coming year.
04:35So, the Chargers over.
04:37Ten and a half wins.
04:39I'm in.
04:40I just, look, I think Jim Harbaugh is both a,
04:44sociopathic dirtbag, and he's also an elite NFL coach.
04:47He's a winner.
04:48The O-line injuries ripped him apart.
04:51I'm going to buy it.
04:52This is it.
04:53This is the last stop at the end for Justin Herbert.
04:56No, it has to be now.
04:58This is a Scott Frost moment.
04:59This is the year Justin Herbert gets it right.
05:03And then we're losing to UAB in week three.
05:05I just, I deeply believe in the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh and the structure of what they
05:10have and the running game year two.
05:12I'm going with it.
05:13I'll say over.
05:15Oh, so this next one is going to be just for you, Rico, because he doesn't want to do the
05:19week one thing.
05:20But they are over in Australia for this game.
05:24And so they are saying the under in the 49ers Rams game, which is at 48 and a half points
05:33because they have to travel so far.
05:36David, I'm going to take the under just because the under in pretty much all the European games
05:42hit.
05:43You don't get this, you know, 30 to 29 type of a shootout.
05:49It's always, it's like the first team to 17 points wins.
05:53I think the under is going to be what you want to do.
05:56I think both teams defenses have stepped up that.
06:00And then you got to travel what?
06:01Three days.
06:02Like 16 hours or so to get there.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Take the under.
06:06Mike, what do you think?
06:08Don't care.
06:10Talk to me in 100 days.
06:11So this last one here involves Matthew Stafford.
06:15We know the Rams are going to be really good, but it says Matthew Stafford under 30 and a
06:20half passing touchdowns.
06:21Here's the reason why.
06:22He lost Devontae Adams and Devontae Adams accounted for 30% of its touchdown passes last season.
06:28And with the no depth behind Puka Nakua, and we already know he gets hurt a lot under 30
06:34and a half touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford.
06:38Michael.
06:43I'm going to, I'm going to say over.
06:46He's still playing at an elite level guys.
06:48And in Sean McVay's offense, the way he's able to scheme it up, the play action, the run
06:53game, they got a zillion tight ends.
06:55I mean, Parkinson's a stud, the kid they drafted last year, hell, Higby was back again.
07:02What was it?
07:03Ferguson.
07:04Kid I like out there.
07:05I just.
07:06See, I'm going to say the opposite because of what you just said.
07:09I think they're going to lean on more of the running game, try to take the wear and tear
07:14off of Stafford and wait for the playoffs.
07:17They don't want to burn him out.
07:18They know the end is near.
07:21That is your NFL Blitz 97.1.
