00:00the host of you better you bet monday through friday 9 a.m to noon and the host of the
00:06best
00:06football show podcast and he joins us uh on fridays as well nick good morning what's going on
00:13guys i i love that ray bork's on the show that's awesome it's wiggy's favorite thing wiggy is uh
00:18absolutely uh in awe of the of the great ray so this is a true story so i think the
00:25first sports
00:26video game i ever like really got obsessed with might have been nhl 91 and for whatever reason i
00:31loved using the bruins in the game cam neely was unbelievable andy moog i think was the goalie at
00:36that point maybe he was the penguins goalie but in any event moog yeah andy moog andy whatever m-o
00:41-o-g
00:41right yeah and and ray bork's slap shot was obviously unbelievable and it sucked that he
00:46couldn't win one with the bruins i'm not saying that to be a jerk but glad that he got it
00:49with
00:49colorado that's awesome i love that yeah it's awesome so line on this puppy at gillette on
00:56sunday is seven and a half how are you looking at this did i really get that it was andy
01:01moog
01:01not yes yeah andy moog i tried but you were like i don't know what you're 10 i mean i
01:06mean no i
01:07understand it i'm younger than 10 at that point i just remember yeah just remember his name and
01:11m-o-o-g okay so this injury report that the patriots are rolling out there is pretty funny right
01:17i think we can expect will campbell's not playing right it seems to be that's the discussion so far
01:23this morning yes and like a.j brown's not gonna play and like the train we don't know about it
01:27like i don't know henderson travion henderson has a high ankle sprain and he's gonna play in this game
01:32like no way no no absolutely i can't believe he's practicing so you know drake's obviously been
01:38unbelievable right um and i think a lot of the focus and conversation will be around him but you guys
01:44in your audience know this the patriots offensive line has been really good the last couple weeks
01:48like very good the last couple weeks he's been sacked twice in the last two games squeaky clean
01:52pockets and i think that's been one of the reasons why he's great also that drake may has been playing
01:57better so now without will campbell potentially in this game i can't wait to see how caleb lomu is
02:02going to hold up in pass protection here against the jets pass rush that might actually be pretty good
02:07the second overall pick in the draft david bailey from texas tech had three sacks last week against
02:12deshaun watson and the browns the jets had eight total sacks now that's against the browns and
02:16obviously drake may is way better than deshaun watson but i think that's kind of going to decide
02:21this game and if the jets can keep this game close can the patriots offensive line protect drake may
02:26from bailey and will mcdonald and kingsley and igbari the pass rush is interesting now for the jets
02:32and the defense was really good last week against cleveland my best guess is the patriots are going to
02:37win the game i think if it gets down to it at the end you obviously trust mike rabel way
02:41more than
02:41aaron glenn breeze hall and ad mitchell look unlikely to play but i think the jets defense
02:46has shown enough fear that i don't know if the patriots are going to blow them out so if i
02:50guess
02:50if i had to bet the game i don't love it i would take the points with the jets i
02:53do feel like the
02:54patriots will win and i'll be watching the patriots offensive line and avt the former jet going up
03:00against this jets defense i think that will decide the game nick one of the things we've been talking
03:04about all you know morning all week is like when you start to look at the nfl it really looks
03:10like
03:10it's the kansas city chiefs and the san francisco 49 is like to be the best teams in the nfl
03:16and then
03:17everybody else i don't know it's like dr jekyll and mr hyde when you start to look at games this
03:23week
03:23the only game that really stands out to me that i would be like even interested in wanting to watch
03:28or maybe it's two is cowboys packers and bills raiders like which one would you bet on which one
03:34would you kind of stay away from or are they two games that you would bet on both of them
03:37so i i do
03:39like both of them now uh this information helps nobody the raiders were plus six earlier in the
03:44week that felt like a bad number now it's four and a half with the thought just being like buffalo
03:49will probably win the game but the bills defense is really bad and you would imagine that the raiders
03:53should be able to score score enough to at least keep the game close with a high total and
03:57cowboys packers is the game i'm most excited for this week you know we have two awesome offenses
04:02high octane offenses the packers coming off a tremendous performance against the bears last
04:07week and i know dallas's offense was bad last thursday in the loss to tampa but cd lamb's not
04:11healthy for that game i'm willing to chalk that up to a bad game dallas's offense is really good
04:16and both teams obviously more than questionable defenses we have a total on sunday night of 53 the
04:22weather looks like it's going to be okay at lambeau not going to be too cold and the wind doesn't
04:26look
04:26like it's going to be too fierce i'd be pretty surprised if this were not a really high scoring
04:31game now the way that goes sideways is you know field goals short field goals or red zone turnover
04:36so not guaranteed but i think we're looking at 34 31 either way here make me pick the winner of
04:42the
04:42game i'll take the cowboys but i love the over in the game over 53 on sunday night nick i
04:47need to go
04:47back to one of your tweets from this week because about i tell you something your son is very cute
04:52that's really really nice very cute and i showed i showed him because i see on instagram to my wife
04:59and she said the same thing that he's very cute that's very nice arrange marriage if um my my daughter
05:04is going to walk she doesn't know this yet but she will be a nun okay i love that if
05:10you go back
05:11nick when you're stalking her instagram there's some nip slips back there those have been deleted
05:18deleted of courtney yeah yeah in the bathtub i'm uh i'm not i'm married not interested yes yes you
05:25are um but i saw i saw she blind wow how about how about courtney being like yeah you are
05:29interested
05:30in me buddy no no um now i'm all flustered um your tweet earlier this week about james winston
05:39about a month ago i believe you were saying james winston is not the answer as a giants fan
05:43you're now all in on him i just need to take me in the mind of a giants fan if
05:48you will well you
05:49know i think you know that obviously the boston sports fan and the new york fan have enmity for
05:54each other but i think ultimately we're all kind of the same and we all kind of ride the same
05:58fan
05:58roller coaster right so you know james comes in when dart gets hurt in the monday night game and it's
06:02it's devastating right starting quarterback out for the year we didn't know it at that point that he was
06:06out for the year and james comes in and he was horrendous in that monday night game and it's just
06:11like
06:11okay we have a stand-up comedian playing quarterback for the rest of the year like richard
06:15prior is our quarterback like how's this gonna go maybe poorly i have to give the guy credit and
06:20like the other shoe is going to drop so i'm not you know i'm not blind to the fact that
06:25he's gonna
06:26play poorly he's gonna have a couple blow-up games he's a backup quarterback for a reason so i
06:30don't think the giants are gonna i mean i guess they could make the playoffs i think it's really
06:33unlikely but you know in the second half last week against washington he was terrific you know he
06:38didn't throw a pick he threw them back into the game scored two touchdowns late if scadaboo doesn't
06:43fumble in overtime like they probably win the game and they're four and one so it's like as a fan
06:48like you have no choice almost but to believe right because like what's the alternative like i'm gonna
06:52watch these games like root against them so like i i want him to do well but deep down inside
06:57i know
06:58it's not going to go well as the season ages mccarthy will play at some point that'll go terribly
07:02but for now i would like to try and enjoy this fan experience giants will make the playoffs
07:07bet on that they will make the playoffs i i think that personally when you start to look
07:12i think that they have the best coach in the uh nfc east i think when you start to look
07:18at their
07:19football team i think that they're a team that is going to be in every game the coach is going
07:24to do
07:24the right thing i'd much rather be a new york giants fan than a dallas cowboys fan no well i
07:29mean over
07:30in the last like 30 years absolutely but no i think cowboys i think and i know the giants beat
07:35them in week
07:35one i have to be honest and objective even as a giants fan the cowboys are better than the giants
07:40and i think the cowboys have way higher upside than the giants do and i would love for you to
07:44be
07:44right wiggy and me to be wrong i just don't see it and look like seven teams make the playoffs
07:49right so
07:49let's say you want to bury the eagles now jalen hurts has the blood clot let's remove philly for a
07:54second right yeah you can make a case washington's better than the giants but there are two games up on
07:58them obviously and then what happened last week the cluster at the end of the game that dallas is better
08:03all four teams in the nfc north are better than the giants i think atlanta with michael penix is
08:08better than the giants wow panthers are better than the giants the saints might beat them this week
08:12you can make a case baker when he plays and the bucks are better than the giants and the rams
08:17niners and seahawks are all better than the giants now i want i would love for the giants to be
08:21the
08:21best team i just don't see it i don't think they're going to make the playoffs i hope i'm wrong
08:27nick uh jalen warren has been awesome the last few what happened with your pick talk this past week
08:32by the way buddy like it was very subdued like did i ruin it for you i like been subdued
08:37went with it
08:38went with a different angle i've been really really bad first couple weeks i wasn't great this past week
08:42either but i went with a totally uh different approach and we're just trying to mix things up
08:46here nick we're trying to figure out figure out a formula that works greg do you like how shyme refers
08:50to himself as we like it's just me and mitch mitch is my creative guy but you're the you need
08:57a
08:57creative person you're a producer yeah i mean by creative guy i mean the video guy he does the
09:01video thing so like and i mean no disrespect to mitch but i mean does mitch know content you're taking
09:05advice from mitch on how i don't know mitch i'm just saying like i wouldn't take i wouldn't take
09:10content advice from my video guys is all i'm saying wait i mean the the subdued idea was my idea
09:16he's
09:16just i gotta you know i just you know maybe maybe maybe go back to the old way okay oh
09:22well so
09:23nick i have i have something in store for you this week it's going to be the return of uh
09:27my favorite
09:28character mary proppins because it's a proper palooza jesus god almighty i even have uh an old
09:35photoshopped photo that i will be tweeting out for that but speaking of props mary mary proppins
09:41correct yeah yeah came up with that a few years ago pretty good right i honestly if you like send
09:47me a hundred bucks i'll have like a 10 minute phone consult with you yeah i mean he's a little
09:51bit
09:52that's a little out of date like if you if i will charge you a hundred dollars for 10 minutes
09:57of my
09:58time and i will and i will help you out buddy maybe update it maybe do like prop douglas or
10:02something
10:02like see like see like that's not great either but it's way better right now mary proppins like
10:08christopher proppin prop diddy well definitely not bad yeah well you'd have you'd have to film
10:14it from a correction specific what you're just gonna let wiggy say christopher proppin yeah and
10:19then he could do the voice hey this week's picks please don't try it you're not trying to do a
10:25christopher walk i'm trying a little bit i don't think yeah anyways uh jalen warren's been awesome
10:32for three weeks now nick uh but rico dadle came back this week started fully participating in practice
10:36again are the jalen water or jalen warren props still viable do you think with the return of
10:42rico dadle or do you think he's going to cut into the production let's see what they are i have
10:46it
10:47here on my ben mgm screen so warren's combined rushing and he's been amazing uh his combined okay
10:52so it's not listed because we don't have like like we i guess we don't know for sure if dadle's
10:56playing so just if anyone wants to bet jalen warren stuff he's been tremendous um it's like do you
11:02believe mike mccarthy or not and i i think i do because mccarthy had been saying you know while
11:06dowdle's been out that when dowdle comes back they're going to go back to a timeshare but the
11:10way warren played this past sunday you just you can't do it like that guy's been too good and
11:15mccarthy said like he's the featured player in our offense so if you believe mccarthy then my sense
11:21is is that dowdle will maybe play a little bit and warren will play the vast majority of the snaps
11:25so i would say like honestly like probably yes now the thing that kind of gives you pause a little
11:29bit
11:29tampa's defense is way better than indianapolis's defense so i don't know if warren's going to have
11:35the success he had last week but do i think he will play way ahead of dowdle i do think
11:39so
11:40all right nick as always a pleasure we appreciate the input and make sure you check out pick talk
11:46and uh obviously focus on uh anthony propkins what's uh what's his what what's what's the best bet this
11:54week in uh in uh what's it called pick talk what's the best bet this week yeah my number one
11:58bet
11:58is pat's laying the seven like i just i'm not even hesitating the last time drake may took the
12:02field against the new york jets it was 19 of 21 with five touchdowns and a nearly perfect passer
12:07rating uh i will i will make that bet and and lay it comfortably greg can i can i do
12:11something here
12:12yes like can i have creative control for a second of course does mitch talk on the air uh he
12:16can
12:17we can yeah we have a mic over there mitch just your opinion hold on what's he tell him to
12:22turn
12:22his mic on well like he can turn his mic on he can't get my video situated but the microphone
12:26can
12:26go on mitch um which do you prefer when shyme is going like wild on the pick talk or do
12:32you prefer
12:33the more subdued pick talk hey what's up costos yeah so i kind of like the old school thing a
12:38little
12:38bit i like to like the energy from shyme but i think we tried to do something different last week
12:43kind of kind of like a revenge a revenge game uh it worked it he doubled his wins from the
12:49week
12:49before so what about numbies well i was going to say like i'm less interested in like did he win
12:54his bets and more interested in like was it did you think what's more entertaining you know what
12:59we'll we'll go we'll take your advice this week also so i think we're going to go back to the
13:03old
