00:00But, Steve, your thoughts on this Texans-Bangles matchup?
00:03Because Texans, obviously, they were right there with the Bills in week one.
00:06Couldn't get it done.
00:07C.J. Stroud fumbles.
00:09Bengals, they're dealing with that Burrow thing, which, yeah, he says he's okay.
00:12He's going to be fine, but we'll have to see.
00:14We'll have to monitor that.
00:16What do you think of this game here?
00:18Yeah, they might be dealing with a Jamar Chase thing, too.
00:20He only had two catchers for 12 yards.
00:21The coaching staff explained, hey, we just need to throw to him more.
00:24But I don't know that he's 100%.
00:26And the bottom line in this game, Texas defense is great.
00:29Didn't play that well against the Bills.
00:31But their D-line is insane, and I don't trust a Cincinnati offensive line
00:35to protect Burrow if he is dinged up.
00:38I also like the addition on the Texans' side.
00:40They look good offensively, but I like the addition of the more steady
00:42David Montgomery in the backfield.
00:43So, right now, 83% of the money is on Houston with only 40% of the tickets.
00:49It actually means the sharp action to this point is on the Texans,
00:52so I'll go with the sharps.
00:54Yeah, I think that's interesting because the Texans,
00:58their defense, they got embarrassed.
01:01I really feel like the opening season, that's supposed to be the best defense
01:05in the NFL, and Josh Allen tore them up.
01:08And Burrow, you know where he's going to be once that ball gets snapped.
01:12It's just can't you get there quick enough.
01:13And I think these guys are going to be salivated.
01:15I think they really got embarrassed, and you don't want to embarrass a team
01:19like that.
01:20And the next team always pays.
01:21So, Pojo Burrow, you're going to need some aspirin after the game
01:27because they're coming for you, big fella.
01:29And Steve, let's hit Broncos-Jags.
01:32This is a really good – I mean, this could be an AFC playoff matchup
01:35right here, and it's going to be early.
01:39Jacksonville obviously torched Cleveland 34-10.
01:42They've actually won nine straight regular season games.
01:44It's the longest active in the league.
01:46But Denver is still favored, right?
01:48So, where do you sit here?
01:51Exactly.
01:52It looks difficult.
01:53I think the Broncos are going to have a down year.
01:55I don't like the Broncos at all.
01:56I don't like Bo Nix at all.
01:58But I'm betting the Broncos.
02:00I'm going to lay the two and a half.
02:01Listen, it was an off game for Bo Nix.
02:04He can't play that bad again.
02:05Broncos' defense was ridiculously irresponsible.
02:08They missed 28 tackles against Kansas City.
02:11You got the Jaguars going elevation.
02:13Denver's always good at home ATS or 7-4 ATS.
02:16And the other thing is you have to look at trends over the years.
02:18I like trends, especially if they're deep trends that go like 30, 50, 60 games deep.
02:23And week one teams that go out and just go crazy, score 30-plus points,
02:28when they're a dog in week two, they're not good ATS.
02:31So, in those spots, the Jaguars would be about 38% against the spread.
02:35So, Broncos in a situation they need to win the game.
02:38They have a good home field advantage.
02:39So, I expect Bo Nix to bounce back, not the entire season, but in this game.
