00:00It does feel like when we look at some of the higher total games this week, Craig, and we've got
00:06Bucks and Bengals, this was 51 and a half.
00:10We're starting to see the under money, 50 and a half, even 50 in some spots.
00:15This was 49, this 49ers Rams game.
00:18Now we're seeing 47 and a half.
00:21I think even the, was it the, yeah, I think that was the higher Cardinals and Chargers, which is hilarious.
00:28Are they expecting the Chargers to score all the points?
00:31I'm not quite sure how they're going to get the 47 there and Cowboys and Giants though.
00:36We've seen under money and all of the biggest totals on the board over the last couple of days.
00:42And can I tell you, I kind of agree with it because I think the defenses, given the state of
00:48affairs and the practice schedule that you point out in a preseason, it feels like the defenses have a much
00:54better shot at dominating than the offenses do.
00:57I think so.
00:58I think that's what we'll see.
00:59We'll probably focus on a couple of games that do have higher outcomes, but I agree with you.
01:04I do think that that's what we're going to see in week one of the NFL season.
01:07And I don't know that anything that happens tonight necessarily will mean that, you know, going back to that one
01:13that you mentioned with the Chargers in Arizona is actually surprisingly one that I do like the over in that
01:19game.
01:20Yeah, because I do think that the Cardinals blueprint from a year ago, Joe, is going to be the same
01:27as this year.
01:28I think the Chargers are good.
01:29I think the Chargers are going to go up 17-3 and then get a little worse.
01:34And then Brissette's going to throw to Michael Wilson 10 times.
01:36They're going to come back and it's going to be a close game.
01:38I mean, that's pretty much the way I don't see Arizona being any different at all than they were a
01:43year ago, except for maybe a little bit worse on defense.
01:47So, yes, actually, that is one of the games that I could see just not being a competitive game.
01:52But the Cardinals showed to me all last season that they just keep fighting to the end and they pile
01:58on those garbage time numbers and points.
02:00So that was one of them that I looked at.
02:02The other one, as you mentioned, Bucks-Bengals.
02:05Yeah, like that feels like a high total for a week one NFL game.
02:11Yeah, that does feel like, I mean, we went through the entire preseason.
02:17I know Todd Bowles is a defensive guy.
02:19Todd Bowles is a defensive guy.
02:21Yeah, that's a little surprising.
02:23So that's a lot of points.
02:23I wouldn't have guessed that.
02:24I wouldn't have guessed that one.
02:26Yeah.
02:27Yeah.
02:27And again, we've seen under money in all of these games.
02:31And I agree with him.
02:32I think the defenses are going to be ahead of the game a little bit here.
02:36And the offenses will catch up, but it might take a couple of weeks before that happens there.
