00:00and the host of the best football show podcast alongside brian baldinger it is the great nick
00:06costos nick good morning what's going on guys how we doing this morning well we're not doing so
00:10great because the bears covered last night well i kind of walked away from that game and i know
00:15the patriots lost i thought i thought drake may was unbelievable in the game and this may sound
00:21controversial i don't think it is i think they're better this year than they were last year when
00:26they went to the super bowl and i understand the bears won the game last night and i do like
00:31i i i
00:32think caleb's probably a little better than drake may but if i had to assess which team has a better
00:38chance of going to the super bowl this year i actually think it's the patriots like the bears
00:42defense is not good and and look i patriots could have scored more drake through the interception
00:47in the end zone also had the remandre ridiculous play at the end of the first half but the bears
00:52defense is going to screw them at the end like they're not going to they're not going to be able
00:55to get there with this like doing this imitation of what brian flores does in minnesota the patriots
01:00are a complete team and hopefully you would imagine that aj brown actually like looks interested and
01:06wants to play i don't know like i i think they're really good i think they're really good and like
01:11and i think they can absolutely make a deep playoff run yeah so you know when you look at this
01:16and
01:17these two teams i i thought chicago was going to do really well in the nfc do you think it
01:22when you
01:23say the patriots have a better chance do you think it's more about the other teams that are in the
01:27afc i think the patriots are a more complete team and i think if the game were in foxborough last
01:34night the patriots would have won like the patriots defense is better than the bears defense now you
01:39can make a case the bears offense is better than the patriots offense for sure but i just think i
01:43think
01:43the patriots are more complete and this bears defense like what happens if they have to play
01:48you know and we'll see a couple times this regular season like when they have to play detroit
01:52like the like they can outscore detroit but the lions are going to score on them we just saw the
01:57packers go bombs away on them the niners would score 50 on this bears defense like it worked last night
02:02to a degree but now i think like there's a lot of tape on what the bears defense has done
02:06specifically
02:07in the last two games and i actually thought kirk herbstreet i don't know if he's feeling the heat now
02:11that like maybe sean mcveigh or like troy aikman could replace him i felt like he was really prepared
02:15for the game last night i loved what he kept saying about like the simulated pressures right
02:20taking from the brian flores playbook bringing seven guys up to the line of scrimmage you don't
02:23know who's going to rush or not like flores and minnesota have been running that system for three
02:27years now they have better players than the bears do like they can get away with it i don't know
02:31if
02:32the bears are going to be able to get away with this as the season rolls on and i feel
02:35better about
02:35the talent that the patriots have on both sides of the ball so look like both teams are awesome
02:40both quarterbacks are unbelievable uh i think the patriots probably have a better chance
02:45of making a deep playoff run than the bears though for that reason got a couple locks for us for
02:49this
02:49weekend or at least what you think might be locks yeah so we can uh we can check it out
02:53right now
02:53and also um i actually think can i lay one more take on you from last night's game yes um
02:58i think
02:58there's a chance that last night was the best ever game played between two quarterbacks of this age
03:04taken in the same draft class like the best ever um i actually felt like we were watching the future
03:09of the nfl last night where i can't guarantee that either one will win a super bowl that's obviously a
03:14lot
03:14tougher you know drake almost won mvp last year if i had to bet i would guess that both guys
03:19win
03:19an mvp at some point in their career like they're both awesome oh shine loves that great take i mean
03:25they're you're tremendous both of them it was say i could got because you wouldn't put golf in the
03:30mahomes category because of that but not but not the same not the same draft class but that game right
03:35but that game was humble and they were both really young at that point the 54 51 monday night game
03:40that
03:40they played with the rams and the chiefs is a great one and there have been great games played
03:43between like young quarterback like mahomes and deshaun watson that playoff game they played
03:47when the texans went up 21 nothing and then the chiefs i think scored 50 points unanswered from
03:52there they were both 24 at that point same draft class but not top 10 this was number one versus
03:57number three like it's it's kind of unprecedented actually in the history of the league the way
04:02those two guys performed last night right they're gonna set the market to price wise i cannot wait to
04:07see what and i think chicago's gonna roll like they're gonna say all right how much you want
04:12caleb here in new england it might be a little bit more like pulling teeth well like well why would
04:18that be uh they did it with christian gonzalez i think it's just maybe their mo because you got
04:24to think about this right yeah but you can do that with a corner can you do that with a
04:29quarter okay so
04:30let me ask this question because if we're going to get into this you're talking about 250 million
04:38guaranteed that's what uh josh allen got you're not if they have a season both caleb especially
04:44caleb williams if he has an unbelievable season he is starting at 275 fully guaranteed yeah but you
04:51could say that they can do that with a corner but not a quarter they did it with tom brady
04:56i would be i would be pretty surprised look that's obviously like bills in charge there like
05:02different operation now maybe vrabel's gonna run it the same way belichick did i doubt it i don't
05:07like look they they can they can drag it out as much as they want like drake may is never
05:12hitting
05:12the open market like they would be like we can we can have the conversation of are they it's gonna
05:17be like pulling teeth they're not letting drake may hit the open market like they're gonna pay him
05:21every penny you you're gonna let him walk or trade him this guy's unbelievable no no way he's great
05:26i think caleb's probably a little better but i mean i think they could both win mvps they could both
05:30be super bowl winning quarterbacks when it's all said and done all right so so yeah that was like
05:34the future of the league last night i love it you want this weekend right yeah okay sorry uh okay
05:40um
05:41jj mccarthy is starting for the giants the betting market looked at this and said okay great we love
05:46the other team so houston's been bet out to a 10 and a half point favorite this was eight and
05:50a half
05:50and as the week has gone on even before harbaugh made the official announcement it felt like that's
05:55where they were trending all the bets went towards houston if this goes back down to 10 at any point
06:00in
06:00between now and sunday i definitely like the houston texans to cover against the giants all right
06:05broncos broncos and the cardinals in arizona i think this is the bo nicks like bounce back game
06:10here against an arizona defense that i don't think is very good despite the fact that they held the
06:14rams down last week denver minus four is a bet for me coming up on sunday and uh i don't
06:20know if
06:20puka naku is playing that's an interesting one right um he left yesterday's practice with a calf injury
06:25the team is calling it minor this morning i saw ian rapaport have that this morning i don't know
06:31if he's playing in the game davante adams is out they have like eight white tight ends and the best
06:35ones on injured reserve i don't know how they're going to move the ball in this game so i i
06:38do like
06:39the raiders and anything more than a field goal plus three and a half and uh i did bet the
06:43lions
06:43minus three against the green bay packers i probably like green bay if the game were at lambeau but
06:48it's in detroit lions coming off the bye reinforcements coming for detroit i think they'll score a lot in
06:53this game i like the lions laying three against the packers nick before sunday it's us v u tonight
06:59on the basketball court are you betting this one uh so what are we at right now two and a
07:03half uh
07:04celtics are favored so i i did find it funny and i don't know if you guys contributed to this
07:09discourse uh i contribute to plenty of discourse on my own show so i don't mean that as a criticism
07:14but i saw like i'll be like i bet detroit in the opener just because i felt like detroit should
07:18have
07:19been favored the celtics were a small favorite in the game like i saw the think pieces like are we
07:23worried about jason tatum correct like no are you asking that are you guys worried about no no the
07:33guy averaged i'm not not worried the guy averaged 21 seven rebounds and six assists the last 16
07:39games of the season last year i think he'll be fine and be jason tatum a guy that's going to
07:45average north of 25 points a game you know north of six assists six assists and six rebounds i'm not
07:51worried about him one bit courtney you did double negative us there i did so so you are worried well
07:55i mean i i am a jalen brown apologist so i think that we traded the wrong guy okay that's
08:01that i like
08:02that take um now tatum better in the locker room right than jalen brown is it depends who you ask
08:07but yeah okay all right you guys know more than me i think they're both awesome uh i i'm not
08:13gonna bet
08:13the game i wouldn't be shocked if the celtics won by 10 i wouldn't be shocked if the knicks bounce
08:17back from from banner night the other night and won so i the only thing i feel very confident in
08:22with the celtics and the knicks tonight is that jason tatum's gonna play really well yeah i i do and
08:26i think the celtics are gonna win 50 plus games i wouldn't be concerned about the opener let's get
08:30to the real the real one here and because i want to know if kansas city is for real they're
08:36going to be
08:36going out to seattle are you putting anything on that game what do you feel about that game yeah i
08:42bet
08:42seattle uh minus two and a half really yeah so if they played in the super bowl like i would
08:48like
08:48the chiefs but i like this setup for seattle here for a couple reasons number one kansas city's passing
08:54offense and we didn't really see it manifest last week because they played like the dreadful chargers
08:58you know i don't think rasheed rice is playing but i guess we'll find out more of what the injury
09:02report comes out today tyquan thornton is out until the playoffs he's their deep threat and tyree
09:07kills in court so like he's not showing up for this team anytime soon so i think the passing
09:11offense is up against it right now a little bit and on the flip side for seattle and i've said
09:16this
09:16for a couple weeks now they haven't been able to run the ball consistently all year part of that is
09:20because their super bowl mvp now runs for the team they're playing on sunday night and he's been
09:24unbelievable now zach charbonnet who was walker's battery mate in seattle he got hurt in the playoffs
09:28and that was walker's star turn right charbonnet is returning for seattle in this game and i will not
09:34say because it's wrong to say so that zach charbonnet is sean alexander like he's not
09:38but compared to like emmanuel wilson and george helani and velas jones the other running backs
09:43they've been trotting out there like he might as well be sean alexander like he's a legitimate
09:47above average nfl running back and just having him in the backfield means that the seahawks
09:52offense doesn't have to be one-dimensional so like last thursday night against denver sam
09:56donald throws it over 50 times when that happens he's going to throw a couple to the other team
10:00so i think they'll be more balanced on defense on sunday night i think the chiefs offense is up
10:04against it a little bit right now until the receiving core gets healthier numbers under three
10:08i think the chiefs are better so i'm not saying seattle's better but in this matchup prime time
10:13at home seattle extra rest off a thursday game i'll lay the two and a half with seattle i gotta
10:18tell
10:19you nick i'm a little surprised because i feel like historically on this program if you've ever seen
10:23mahomes getting points it's like an auto bet and so i gotta tell you i'm very surprised that you are
10:29on the seahawks in this one are you i know i'm on the chiefs i uh i again i i
10:36saw my home as an
10:36underdog oh yeah oh yeah absolutely oh yeah it's always so you did pick talk from your car last
