00:00The market movement, I think, with the announcement of a 35, 36-year-old, you know, defensive tackle coming off
00:07the couch who hasn't played in a game in two years, I think that was a bit excessive, Greg.
00:12I mean, we knew they were one of the favorites, the Rams, heading into this season.
00:16But, I mean, my goodness, just across the board, the odds have improved.
00:22People can't wait to bet the Rams with a defensive tackle that has not played in two years.
00:29So, I find it fascinating.
00:32The overreactions are always great this time of year.
00:35But if you like the Rams, before Aaron Donald decided to get off the couch and unretire, I don't know
00:42that it moves the needle that much for me.
00:44I mean, look at that.
00:4520 seasons, I think we have had odds-on favorites to win the Super Bowl at plus 500 or better,
00:53Greg.
00:5420 years now, 20 teams.
00:56And not one of them has ever done it.
00:58So, the fact that they're this cheap preseason, history tells us, yeah, they look great on paper, but you know
01:06what?
01:07Yeah, they don't end up getting it done.
01:09And that's kind of what I think the Rams are looking like this year for me.
01:13A lot has to go right in order for you to be, even with Aaron Donald, a lot still has
01:19to go right for them to be able to get to the big game.
01:21Yeah, and it's even a fun conversation to have if a team is Super Bowl favorites being plus 150 or
01:28plus 170 or plus 142.
01:30But the Rams are minus money before the season starts, Joe, to get to the Super Bowl?
01:36Like, that just doesn't add up.
01:38Like, I'll right now go to their schedule in over 17 games, find a game where the Rams are underdog.
01:44If I like them that much, I'll give me plus 120 in that game on the money line or something
01:48like that.
01:48But to take them at minus, you know, to go to the Super Bowl this early in the season, and
01:53you're right, Joe, it seems like either Kansas City's favorite or Buffalo is favored.
01:57You know, Donald really shouldn't move the needle all that much.
02:00He's arguably one of the greatest players ever at his position, but you're absolutely right.
02:03We haven't seen him in a couple of years.
02:05And with Miles Garrett on, you know, kind of one side and Donald really up the middle or on the
02:10other side, the Rams defense definitely will be formidable.
