00:00Our number two is officially underway right here on the early line. It's a Wednesday morning. It's September 4th
00:052024 roughly 24 hours away from opening night in the NFL ring ceremony. We'll see the trophy
00:11We'll see the pageantry and then we should be able to see a great football game and we are going to get you set for that
00:17But it's Dubs and Donnie in the morning having some fun. The hours go by quickly here
00:21We got an action-packed our number two here for the people dubsy
00:26We're jamming into a little baseball 15 game slight out on the diamond you highlighted Thursday night football
00:32Will we see Taytay over there at Arrowhead? I certainly hope not college football continues dog days of summer
00:38That's in the rear the rear vision mirror now Donnie
00:41It is absolutely full dial full steam fifth gear on a Wednesday
00:45And hopefully we can try and find a couple of winning tickets as we move through it
00:50And I always say to Dubsy like most sports do well when they open up the season and say you know what let's give the
00:56People what they want. Let's give them primetime games compelling matchups gear. Let's not just say oh, you know what?
01:01Let's put one of the bottom feeders on TV. Let's give two good football teams. You're gonna see that Thursday
01:05You know what else you're gonna see you Friday night as well in
01:08Sao Paulo Brazil with the Philadelphia Eagles in the Packers
01:11We already told you again Sunday night football Matthew Stafford returns home to take on the Lions and you get that Monday night football game
01:17Fantastic with the Jets and the 49ers, but if we are looking at the AFC which will be on display opening night in Arrowhead
01:25That's between the Ravens and that's between the Kansas City Chiefs last time. We saw them AFC Championship game last year
01:32Which I am still upset about because I had the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl last season
01:37It was set up perfectly. They were the best team in the NFL to me if Dubsy
01:42They just stuck to the script that got them there
01:45Yes
01:46We know Lamar Jackson can pass but that team was so dominant on the ground and completely turned
01:51One-dimensional for no reason in the AFC Championship game. We'll see if they make those adjustments heading into Arrowhead tomorrow
01:58But if we are looking at the AFC Championship odds here for 2024, it's no surprise the same two teams
02:04We saw last year fighting it out for the AFC supremacy and the right to go to the Super Bowl
02:08They're right back in it the Chiefs at a plus 350 price the Ravens at a plus 550
02:13Let's just start with those top two teams here number one
02:16Dubsy you believe they deserve to be the top two teams in the AFC and also the winner of tomorrow night's game getting that leg
02:24Up on the competition with the tiebreaker that could be massive
02:27Yeah, it's gonna be a massive advantage and we know the Kansas City Chiefs come to play when they're at home
02:32We know they come to play in that season opener head coach Andy Reid there for the Chiefs
02:37901 straight up in the last 10 there for Kansas City and look is it redemption? Is it a revenge spot for the Ravens?
02:45Donnie it sounds like you think it may be how's it gonna look in that backfield, you know, King Henry comes across
02:50He'll take the running back duties away from Gus Edwards and you know Lamar Jackson say what you want. He had an MVP
02:58Season, there's always gonna be the knocks. What's it gonna look like in the playoffs?
03:01Why can he not figure it out going against the Chiefs a one and four straight-up record?
03:06But I do think this is gonna be a fantastic matchup
03:08I don't think we see the points expected but certainly for the Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes
03:13Getting arguably maybe the best set of of compliments, you know complimentary wide receivers and weapons that he's had to work with
03:20They've got to get better with the drop balls Xavier worthy. He looks to be a fantastic addition, Donnie
03:26I think he's gonna see plenty of production day one and Travis Kelsey is telling us
03:30Hey, I don't want to see a drop-off in the targets or the looks I'm getting
03:34I don't care if I might be a you know get into the tail end of this career
03:37So the Kansas City Chiefs will come up
03:39They'll be ready to play and we know they've got that experience that x-factor when it matters most
03:44Absolutely. I agree with the odds makers. They are the team to beat for the Ravens couple of question marks
03:49I feel like that's the common theme with the AFC Donnie, you know, the Buffalo Bills. They're being a little disrespected the Miami Dolphins
03:56Can they play in I guess, you know, not so fair weather
03:59You've got teams like the Texans CJ Stroud the sophomore slump Maddie Stafford
04:03Sean McVeigh and that high octane offense coming out from the Rams
04:06So the AFC a little murky, but no doubt about it
04:10It should be the Kansas City Chiefs as the shortest price and the team to beat saying come catch us
04:15Yeah, it'll be interesting
04:16and again
04:17I love the fact that they're gonna play opening night because that might set the tone for the remaining parts of the season which again if
04:21There is a tiebreaker at the end and the Chiefs and the Ravens have identical records the winner of that football game
04:26Is going to get home field advantage
04:27I thought that was massive last year finally getting Kansas City out of Arrowhead and into another it didn't matter
04:33They went into Buffalo one
04:34They went into obviously Baltimore and one and then they went into Las Vegas and won a championship last year
04:40So they know how to put it together and as long as you have Patrick the homes that's going to make a big difference
04:44But also for me gobs like first two weeks of the season very tough on sides
04:48You're gonna see a lot of upsets a lot of oh
04:50I didn't expect that from this team and we understand that but you know what I'd like to hear like Lamar Jackson
04:54Obviously the most dynamic quarterback by a wide margin in the NFL
04:58You're telling me he lost a couple pounds in the offseason to get quicker here
05:02I look right to those rushing props on opening night, and it should be a fun matchup
05:06But again, we have a long time to preview that game up till tomorrow night
05:09But I'm getting exciting just talking about it here with some of the leaders in the AFC
05:12Let's take a look at the not two top teams right now at the fan blue sports book here to win the AFC the second
05:18Two teams that's the Bengals and that's the Texans
05:20I want to focus your dubsy with you right now on the Bengals at that plus
05:23$7.50 price because if anybody's listening to me throughout the offseason
05:26I can't stand the way the Cincinnati Bengals treat their players and quite frankly their fan base
05:31You March a should be signed to one of the most lucrative deals in the NFL history at the wide receiver position
05:37They haven't done so yet those question marks if he even plays this Sunday against the New England Patriots
05:42But I do believe if they signed him and he's happy and T Higgins who took one of the worst deals in the history of
05:47The sport by taking that franchise tag. Apparently he's happy so we can just move forward with that
05:52I do think big things are in store with the Bengals, but only if they signed Jamar chase to that monster deal
05:58What do you think about the Bengals here for 2024 dubs? I like the Bengals
06:02I think it's gonna be dependent on star quarterback Joe Burrow didn't get to see a lot of him out there last year
06:07I consider Joe Barry if we get the same version from two seasons to go
06:11I've been a top five quarterback in this league, but I totally agree, you know for head coach Zach Taylor
06:15He needs the full complement of weapons out there in the mix. You welcome in Micah Zeke a tight end
06:21He's probably gonna get a couple of looks. There's no Joe Mixon sit in the table Zach Moss
06:25You really don't lose anything gain anything at the running back position that they're gonna need Joe Barry out there to absolutely carry this thing
06:33They take on the Pats in week one
06:34They go into Arrowhead week two to take on Kansas City and that's the commanders Panthers in Baltimore
06:40So look, I should go through two and two to start the first four. It's not an easy schedule
06:44It's not a tough schedule. But for me it is all gonna be about Joe Barra
06:48What version of Joey B Joe Shiesty do we get that's gonna lean on Cincinnati?
06:54Can he take him back to the promised land? I tell you what, you need everything working in your favor right now
06:59They need to get your March ace moving in the right direction
07:02Speaking of moving you got to put the question mark have the reps been in there looking into week one
07:07If he is gonna suit up
07:09And you take a look at the way the normal NFL week works here
07:13It's like Mondays on game week usually played on Sunday you're coming in just getting some treatment here Tuesday the players have off Wednesday
07:19Dubsy that's installation day in the NFL for your weekly game coming up on Sunday to get that game plan together
07:26It's your March ace is not gonna be a part of that practice in the installation process that could hurt towards Sunday
07:31Then we take a look at the Texans at an 8 to 1 price the Jets plus 850 the bills at 9 to 1
07:36This is an action-packed AFC if we take out the top two teams
07:40Who do you think has the best chance to knock off the Chiefs and the Ravens here dubsy in the AFC
07:45Miami Dolphins at 10 to 1 still 22 to 1 in the futures
07:49I'll tell you what if you score the most points and if any team in the NFL you got a really good chance of winning
07:54A lot of football games. I think they only learn from what we saw at the back end there of last year
07:59You look at to up there was still plenty of turnovers 26 turnovers
08:03But to I we can just see that number see a bit of a decline a bit more improvement in that spot
08:08I think the Miami Dolphins are gonna shine again. You've got Tyree kill
08:12I don't think there's any drop-off from star wide receiver. You've got waddle on the other side
08:16They can set the table with that run game
08:19They're gonna put up 30 40 40 plus week in week out going through the regular season and they've got weapons across the board
08:27So I think it'd be the Miami Dolphins sitting at a nice price of 10 to 1 to rattle the top two contenders
08:32Gonna be fun watching that East play out. You got the Jets here trying to make some noise
08:36Hopefully Aaron Rodgers is healthy throughout the parts of the season and also you take a look at the Buffalo Bills
08:41Everybody's so high on the bills dovesy the past two to three years not really getting that feeling this year
08:46So maybe a chip on their shoulder, maybe they're just not as good as what they were over the past couple years
08:50But I love to see this play out
08:52We're so close to NFL action being played game number one tomorrow night
08:56But some news notes coming out here of Philadelphia on their game on Friday night
08:59Devin white not on the plane to Brazil ankle injury going to keep him out
09:04That's what the sports grid network does instant impact news that comes across. We're gonna make sure we deliver it to you
09:10It's hubs and Donnie in the morning radio on a Wednesday edition of the early lines much more AFC talk coming up
09:15Thanks. Ah, yes a better plan of attack here on the early line. We just talked some AFC futures here
09:20Why don't we just swing it right over to the NFC?
09:22It was a perfect segue over because the NFC is gonna get kicked off underway on
09:26Friday night in Brazil between the Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles and brought you that information Devin white
09:33Supposedly supposed to be a starting linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles acquired in the offseason by a free agency
09:38Now looks like he's gonna miss game number one with an ankle sprain the Kobe Dean will take his spot in that starting lineup
09:44We'll see how the Philadelphia Eagles do but this is a massive game and me
09:47Here's what I want to start this dub see sometimes they get angry because there's a lot of things
09:51I typically do when I see these schedules that come out
09:53It's like let me check to see who's playing that Thursday night football game
09:56Is it home or away because that is a major advantage?
09:59But now that we have the uneven scheduling which means you have 17 games as opposed to 16
10:04What did that mean in the past dubs right eight home games eight away games?
10:07It's pretty simple
10:08But now you have a distinct advantage on your schedule if you have that ninth game at home as opposed to the eight road games
10:15Well, the Philadelphia Eagles were scheduled to have the Green Bay Packers play at Lincoln Financial Field this year
10:21So the NFL goes, you know what we're going to Brazil. We need a big game
10:25Philadelphia you lose a home game and the Packers fans had to rejoice in the Packers players like oh good
10:30We don't have to play in Philadelphia. We're gonna play on a neutral site. That's a big advantage here
10:35But again as I digress there's other games are gonna be played this weekend in the NFC
10:39That's just the first one if we are looking at the odds dubs to win the NFC championship this year. It's not a surprise
10:45It's the San Francisco
10:4749ers at a plus 260 price at the fan little sports book followed by the Lions at a 5 to 1 price and the Eagles
10:53At a 6 to 1 number. Let's just sit it there the 49ers number one. I think we agree pound-for-pound
10:59They're the best team in the NFC
11:00But how about two and three the Lions and the Eagles do you agree?
11:05The Lions now sit ahead of the Eagles at the fan little sports book with the odds
11:09Yeah, you know based off the way last season finished out. There's a lot of betters buying in on Detroit. It's Dan Campbell
11:16I feel like they're the buzz team Jared golf. He's putting up career numbers
11:20They've got one of the best wide receivers in the business and I'm on rah st. Brown
11:24So I like the look the Detroit Lions. Can they stay, you know, take another step forward. I don't know
11:29I would make the argument that maybe we saw the the top
11:33Expectations from the Lions last year at 5 to 1 for the Philadelphia Eagles. There's been a lot of pressure going through the offseason
11:39There's new faces in new places for Nick Sirianni. He's gonna have to try and figure things out
11:44There's been a lot of smoke that maybe there was a rift in the rock locker room between him and star quarterback
11:49Jalen Hurts, I'm not buying in on that side of things
11:51I think that could be the value spot on this side of the board Jalen Hurts. I think it's a fantastic quarterback
11:58I think now that he's back. He's healthy
12:00I think we see the return of the run game speaking of run games take one Barclay comes across to lead the backfield
12:06They've got the best one-two punch if you look at any of the wide receivers
12:09Tandems in the National Football League. It's got to be the Philadelphia Eagles. They're sitting there plus
12:15600 I think that's a really good spot for the 49ers and the Lions up top Donny
12:19I don't know. We see a massive step forward
12:22I think we've seen the best there last season and they can have a really tough time of trying to run it back
12:27So if you're looking at where the value is on this board
12:29I'd start with the Eagles at plus 600 and I'd look towards their foes
12:33They're gonna match up with on Friday night in Brazil
12:35I absolutely love Jordan love in the Packers when the youngest teams coming into the league
12:39I do think we see a bit more improvement coming back from them
12:43And we'll get those big dog
12:45Prices here in just a couple moments and see who actually can make some serious money in the NFC down at the bottom
12:50But I do like the way it sets up at the top
12:52There's a lot of parody because the one thing that we do know is injuries do happen flooded NFL season and we wish it
12:58Was like Madden, right? You say you know what? Let me play this game
13:00I'm gonna turn injuries off because it'd be much more enjoyable from a fantasy and betting perspective throughout the season if nobody ever got injured and
13:07They were always healthy, but we know that plays into it
13:09I think you bring up a good point because for me the Lions they have a fantastic
13:13Offense stubs you're looking at the best offensive line in football
13:17one of the best
13:19Offensive coordinators calling the plays
13:20Jarrah golf is now coming into his own signed a big deal in the offseason here to be their franchise quarterback
13:26No more questions there solid wide receiver core electric running backs
13:30But the issue is always can that defense come up with stops when you need it in big games because the defense
13:35Particularly the secondary has been a sieve over the past couple years from betting stances. I love it
13:40You're gonna talk about a defense that can't stop anybody and an offense that moves the football up and down the field and they play
13:45In a dome that's gonna be fun for player props and totals throughout the season
13:49But not so much for winning playoff games overall
13:52The Eagles do have a lot of question marks and it's not on offense
13:55Similar to what I just talked about with the Detroit Lions that offense solid offensive line the best wide receiving core in football
14:01Saquon Barclay running back and Jalen hurts healthy and ready to show that that fluke down the stretch last year
14:08Actually was a fluke and they're a much better football team and can do some damage
14:11Now the next couple teams are very interesting as we get outside that top four
14:15Cuz I think the Packers again at a nine-to-one price certainly would be formidable
14:18You have the Cowboys Falcons Rams Bears Seahawks and Buccaneers in order the Rams at a 15 to 1 price Matthew Stafford a quarterback
14:26Two wide receivers that if healthy who can Akua who looks like he's gonna get to the starting line in week
14:32Number one after suffering a preseason injury and Cooper Cup. I love that offense
14:36I think it should cook here. Then you take a look at the Rams
14:38Give me the Falcons with a new quarterback in Kirk cousins. I think they'll be fine as well
14:42Give me a team outside of what you say. We forget about the Cowboys at 9 to 1
14:46Let's go over 9 to 1 so 12 to 1 or higher
14:49Give me a team that you think can make some noise here in the NFC
14:53A couple of my biggest investments lean behind the Falcons, but the close we get to week one here don't know
14:58I'm losing a bit of confidence, but look they've got the weapons if they can figure it out early from the jump
15:03They've got a pretty favorable schedule behind Kirk cousins. They add quarterback Drake London. There's plenty of upside
15:09They could have be Justin Jefferson 2.0. Maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but they've got the run game to match
15:14I think it is the Rams, you know
15:16Sean McVay can scheme it up with the very best of them on the offensive side of the ball Kyra Williams
15:20Now said the running back duties also going to be doing the old kick returns
15:24I don't know if that means maybe a dip in production there from the running back and we see a couple of fresh faces
15:29But if it's not the best one-two punch in the league at wide receiver
15:33I mean what we saw last year from poking the cooler and Cooper cup and now returns healthy with Maddie Stafford
15:39Also at a full billing of health
15:41I think the Rams make sense as a bit of a price play and look this this
15:45Side of the board Donnie is I believe a lot murkier
15:49I mean, we haven't even touched on the Dallas Cowboys. I think they've been a little
15:53Disrespected the Bucs finished off with a massive campaign and what about the Cardinals and Kyla Murray?
15:58I mean, I know we're not seeing them here
15:59They're gonna be at a big price, but I do think they can be an absolute money-maker going through this year
16:04So give me the Rams as the price play at 15 to 1
16:07Yeah, Arizona. Give me the overs and their football games electric quarterback
16:11Not so great defense that usually plays into it
16:13And by the way, the interesting numbers here on that graphic the Buccaneers at a 35 to 1
16:17I don't have a lot of confidence them obviously to win the NFC
16:20But if they can't overtake let's just say the Falcons and you got them at a 35 to 1 price
16:24Entering into the playoffs with home field advantage in game number one
16:27You saw them take on the Eagles in game number one of the playoffs at home and they fared quite frankly
16:31Well, maybe that's a winning ticket here more
16:36They're on deck
16:38All right, as we said we are lining up to play week number one in the NFL
16:44It starts tomorrow in Kansas City, but other teams are saying, you know, what great football players deserve a great amount of money
16:51Yes, we're still talking about you Cincinnati Bengals and no, we're not saying Jamar chase just signed a lucrative contract
16:57But you know who did sign one the Denver Broncos and their two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Patrick Sertan the second get this dub see four years
17:0596 million dollars which includes
17:0877.5 million dollars guaranteed now
17:11We're gonna talk about the MVP race if you want to stop MVP quarterbacks
17:15Make sure you're taking care of the best cornerbacks in the game
17:18So they're happy and playing football sir tan of the Denver Broncos big-time money this morning
17:24Big time money and worth every single bit of it the Alabama product
17:28we saw first round pick back in 2022 and since coming into the league has been nothing short of
17:34Sensational so certainly a bright spot over a couple of tiring years for the Denver Broncos
17:39Sean Payton in this
17:41Organization saying hey, this is what our future looks like paths to retain the big corner back there
17:46He brings a lot to this side and I tell you what when you've got the likes of bone next there a quarterback
17:50They're starting to put a couple of pillars in place not to just maybe exceed
17:54Expectations coming into a new year for the Denver Broncos spins
17:57But maybe trying to build something going through the next four five six years
18:02So a lot to like what's coming out there from Denver through the preseason and that big news coming across here this morning
18:08Denver Broncos lock up their guy
18:11And by the way, I talk about resetting the market here
18:13You look now at the highest paid cornerbacks in football Patrick Surtain now 24 million dollars per year
18:18Jair Alexander the Green Bay Packers at 21 million dollars. So he cleared that a hurdle by three million dollars. Congrats to him
18:26We'll see if it pays off this year for the Denver Broncos talking about paying off
18:29If you have an MVP quarterback in your stable, you're probably gonna do a lot of damage
18:34You win a lot of football games
18:36Sportsbook and take a look at the favorites this year for the NFL MVP. Are we surprised? No, we're not
18:42It's Patrick Mahomes by a wide margin in first place in the odds market at a plus 450 price
18:47Followed by Josh Allen at 8 to 1 and the only other guy under 10 to 1 is Joe Burrow Stroud hurts
18:52Love Jackson Purdy tag about Lowe and Prescott round out here
18:56Are we in agreement here that Patrick Mahomes should be the favorite but also dubsy will he actually win the MVP of this year?
19:03No, I don't think he would Donny and look patty my homes at plus or 50
19:07I'm not buying in and you look at the numbers the metrics from last season
19:11Patty Mahomes saw a massive decline going through the regular season
19:15So really wasn't the box score baddie that we expect another went back-to-back. They won another Super Bowl
19:20They've got a really good chance of winning a third this season
19:23Patrick Mahomes will do enough to keep the Chiefs very close to getting that hat trick
19:27But it plus 450 in the MVP market. I'm not buying that. I'm not touching that Josh Allen
19:32He's gonna have to do a lot more at plus 800
19:35So I'm looking elsewhere, especially for a market Donny. We're gonna have to tie up my dollars all season long
19:40There's no way I'm touching the chalk the short price favorite the public pick there and Patty Mahomes that kind of number
19:47It's crazy too because you are looking at a plus 450 price
19:50But sometimes you'll see him stagger like plus 450 plus 500 plus 700
19:54But he's so far and clear the favorite here and rightfully so we know the great player he is and they're on a mission to try
20:00To win three straight Super Bowls, which is incredible and it's never been done in history
20:04But if you are looking at some of the players behind him Josh Allen
20:08He needs to have an MVP season here right dubs if they want to the Buffalo Bills want to not only win the division
20:13But make some hay here in the playoffs and it doesn't seem like he has as many weapons as he had over the past couple
20:19Years Joe Burrow, we know how electric he can be but coming off an injury and also Jamar chase his top-wide receiver
20:25Not in the fold just yet. We'll see if that harms them CJ Stroud
20:28Everybody's lightning bolt from last year. He was sensational. He looks great in the preseason
20:33Can he take that next leap and can the Houston Texans be a player in the AFC race?
20:37Which will give them that extra credit down the stretch Jalen hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles at a 12 to 1 price
20:43banged up a little bit last year the Eagles were 10 and 1
20:46Completely fell off a cliff to end the season with a horrendous loss on Tampa Bay on a Monday night football
20:53Wildcard game Lamar Jackson Brock Purdy to attack of a loa and Dak Prescott if we're looking down the line here Dak Prescott
21:00We know is gonna put up big numbers to attack of a loa is in a crazy good offense
21:04He got paid as well as his wide receivers. How about Brock Purdy's or change that Brock Purdy?
21:08It's 16 to 1 in your mind. Your dovesy can win an MVP. I looked at Donnie
21:13I'd love to say yes, but I'm not gonna say systems quarterback, but he's arguably got so many pieces around him
21:19He's never gonna get the true shine. Even if the 49ers go on to win the Super Bowl
21:23It's gonna be because of George Kittle skittles. It's gonna be because of Debo Brandon
21:28Are you a Christian McCaffrey Trent Williams?
21:31So I'm looking for a by low spot on a play that's gonna have to carry their team to the promised land
21:35I think Dak Prescott makes a bit of sense there plus 2000 Lamar Jackson if he can run it back
21:41He's always gonna get the praise. He's gonna have to figure it out at the back end of that season
21:45So Lamar Jackson Dak Prescott, they're the price plays for me
21:48But in a market like this Donnie, I'm staying away from the top of the board
21:52Dak Prescott if he wins the MVP, what's his price tag next year more?
22:00Odds markets are crazy certainly before the season
22:03But wait, do you see that instant impact of weeks 1 2 & 3 where some of these markets will certainly be going crazy?
22:09And that includes dubsy the NFL offensive rookie of the year odds
22:14Which usually includes
22:15quarterback after quarterback after quarterback
22:17Sprinkle in a wide receiver and a running back here if we're looking at the fans little sports book and setting the table
22:22It's no surprise to Chicago Bears number one overall pick Caleb Williams at a plus
22:27120 price Jaden Daniels star play caller here for the Washington Commanders at a 6 to 1 price
22:32Then we start to flip in a wide receiver Marvin Harrison jr
22:35Of the Arizona Cardinals at a plus 650 price and rounding out roughly that top
22:40You know 10 to 1 11 to 1 prices Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos
22:44Who's now gonna be the starting quarterback to open the season?
22:47So let's start there with the top four again
22:49Caleb Williams is the favorite right now at the fan blue sports book to win this award at a plus 120 price
22:54Do you agree with that? And also give me some thoughts on Jaden Daniels Marvin Harrison and Bo Nix rounding out the top four
23:00I mean we have to agree with it, right?
23:03What could go wrong for Caleb Williams Heisman winner two years back with USC coming in to Chicago Bears locker room getting every
23:10Single piece that he needs to thrive in day one
23:13I would say that that numbers too short
23:15The buzz is far too high and it only makes sense to be a letdown spot Donnie
23:19So I'm absolutely looking at playing the field here against Caleb Williams. Look, he's very athletic
23:24He's look great going through the preseason, but week one of the regular season
23:28This is a whole nother step up in terms of what is gonna be coming at him
23:32How much quicker he has to be in the pocket? He's shown us there at the college level
23:36He's great of getting out of the backfield doing his own thing, but that's not gonna fare
23:39So well in the National Football League, it's a totally different play style
23:43So for me, I'm maybe one of the only people here going against Caleb Williams, but especially at that price
23:48I think it's far too short for Jaden Daniels and the commanders. Look, he looks fantastic. He's got the athleticism
23:54He's got the arm and they're gonna be playing catch-up week in week out
23:58He's also got a bit of a veteran presence in that locker room. So they're gonna bring him up to speed really quickly
24:03I think he's got every chance to shine
24:06So I absolutely love the look there of Jaden Daniels and Kyler Murray coming back for the Cardinals
24:10I think this sets up really well for Marvin Harrison jr
24:13You look at the last four winners of the offensive rookie of the year. There's been two wide receivers Jama Chase and Garrett Wilson
24:19Well, you want that X Factor you want that pizzazz for Marvin Harrison? He's gonna get that he's got a quarterback
24:25He can get it downfield and he will be wide receiver one straight out the gates here for a Cardinals team
24:31That's also probably similar to the command is gonna be down in a lot of these spots putting up a lot of points if you
24:36Look at the stats if you look at the box scores Marvin Harrison jr. At plus 650
24:41I think he's gonna see a lot of attention from the better
24:44So for me, it's a play against Caleb Williams
24:46I like Jaden Daniels at six to one and I've certainly loved Marvin Harrison jr. At plus
24:52650
24:53Yeah, a lot of it there doves
24:55You're right is just about availability at the end of football games to put up extra numbers because we know Caleb Williams is going
25:00To be the starting quarterback in week one and quite frankly, we think right through week 18 of the regular season
25:05He's gonna say an elite wide receiving court. His numbers should be there
25:09But if we're looking at Jaden Daniels similar
25:10We should have some good rushing numbers for him and he's the starting quarterback from day number one
25:14But that Marvin Harrison jr. Number is interesting to me at the plus 650 as well because you're right if I told you already
25:20I think the offense for the Arizona Cardinals is going to move the football
25:24You know us is gonna move the football every team playing the Arizona Cardinals
25:27So if you're getting in shootouts that usually means good numbers for your quarterback and also your wide receivers
25:32One of them were interesting numbers here. If we take a look at the top four Williams Daniels Harrison and also Knicks
25:38Okay starters day number one
25:40We get that with Drake may not listed as the week one starter for the New England Patriots was still
25:45Coming in fifth overall in the odds market at a 14 to 1 price
25:50We know Jacoby preset here doves is just a table setter right now holding on until they figure
25:56Drake may is ready to play NFL football quite frankly
25:59The New England Patriots are already knocked out of the playoffs
26:01But as we saw with Paul Skeens in Major League Baseball, let's just say he comes in and lights it up
26:06But he doesn't come into week eight when these other guys have been playing for the first eight weeks
26:11So Drake made 14 to 1 it's an interesting number, but I'm not buying into it
26:16No, I'm not touching and taking a look, you know this market you need production
26:21You've got to be out there for a bulk of the starts going through the regular season and it's not a knock against Drake
26:26May but if he were to come in, you know week five week six after Jacoby percent, what's he working with?
26:32What what is he going to use to turn that ship around for the New England Patriots? He's got absolutely no offensive weapons
26:39There's no run game. They're gonna get behind he's gonna get beat up
26:42So he would have to do something, you know
26:44Absolutely ridiculous to get himself back in the conversation here because all these players
26:49Listed above him here in the odds market are gonna have every chance to get more reps and see more production
26:54So look Drake may be in that number if you're looking for another quarterback a young player who could really shine
27:00It's got to be other Denver Broncos
27:02I mean we sleep on the Broncos like they didn't have the best of seasons last year. They still chalked up eight wins
27:07It's Bo Nix. It looks like Drew Brees 2.0
27:10Sean Payton is absolutely got his guy and the Denver Broncos are gonna be a very tough out
27:15So at 11 to 1 I'd be looking more towards Bo Nix
27:18You can even look at him to be leading passing yarders out of the rookies here
27:22You know if Caleb I hate to say it
27:24but injuries always gonna be a big thing the way he plays in trying to scramble out that backfield and there's a lot of
27:30guys who love going after a number one draft pick if he were to miss a bit of time if he weren't to be that
27:35Superstar that we think we're gonna get from the Chicago Bears. I'd be looking further down that odd sport
27:40It'd be a fade pass towards Drake made for me
27:43but Bo Nix who we know is gonna be out there week one who plays it in a very smart way very sharp in the
27:48Pocket can absolutely protect himself and he looks built for the NFL
27:52He looks pro ready. If you ask me, that's that's the name. I would absolutely be targeting
27:57So look hate to be that guy playing against Caleb Wiz, but a lot can go wrong Donnie
28:03It feels like the hype the buzz the praise is far too much and I want to see something
28:07before I rush to that window and play plus
28:09120 for a futures bet on a quarterback who I think still has to show us a bit
28:15After the top five in the odds market here at the fan blue sports book
28:18It turns into attack of the pass catchers
28:21Why Malik neighbors at a 15 to 1 price save your worthy at a 19 to 1 price?
28:25Lad McConkey
28:2637 to 1 along with Keon Coleman at the same price and then Brock Bowers the tight end here of the Raiders at a
28:3242 to 1 if we are looking because obviously I think we're in agreement
28:36Marvin Harrison jr. To me was the best wide receiver in the draft drafted appropriately here
28:40I think he's gonna be a superstar for the Cardinals
28:43But if you had to pick and not saying they're gonna win offensive rookie of the year, who would it be?
28:47Neighbors worthy McConkey Coleman or Bowers out of that grouping here. Who do you think actually has the best season here?
28:54Debsie, I think Xavier worthy's a great addition for the Kansas City Chiefs
28:58But the problem is Patty Mahoney's is gonna spread it across the park. You know, you still got Rasheed rice
29:03You still got Travis Kelsey as his favorite target. I'd be looking towards Malik neighbors in the Giants
29:09Danny dimes did not shine going through the preseason
29:12But I'm still optimistic that Daniel Jones can be in a very efficient quarterback in the National Football League for Malik neighbors
29:18But the version it's 2.0 Odell Beckham jr. He can do special things. He can make special plays
29:24He's already gonna be that one week one. So he's gonna see a lot of targets for a Giants team
29:29I feel like this is the common theme for me with a lot of my futures tickets trends and liens
29:34They're gonna be playing catch-up football. They're gonna have to air it out Malik neighbors
29:38I think he's gonna be very very well set to see some monster numbers from week one. He looks durable
29:43So I think we see a bit of longevity out of here out of him there as well
29:47So in terms of the whiteouts, it's Malik neighbors for me. I think he could be a pretty special talent coming in day one
29:54Yeah for me with Malik neighbors. His talent is off the Richter scale
29:58I mean he is such a good wide receiver to all his intangibles
30:01But I do think he went to like the worst
30:03Situation of the rookies because if you tell me hey Donnie Malik neighbors went to Arizona
30:07Hey, look at that
30:08Kyle remember is gonna be his quarterback to gonna be losing football games not playing a ground-and-pounds style and trying to run the clock
30:13Out and you're trying to actually get yards
30:15I think it would work out obviously if you switch place with Xavier worthy and wound up as a wide receiver for Patrick Mahomes
30:21Same thing with the Chargers and a Herbert the Buffalo Bills got Keon Coleman. You replace Keon Coleman with Malik neighbors
30:27I'm thinking now rookie of the year certainly could be in the bag for Malik neighbors, but that's 15 one price
30:32You're right
30:32he can have an
30:33impact on that team because why they don't have very many other weapons like if you're looking at the Giants and don't think they're
30:38Gonna be a great football team, which I don't think they will be which means once again dovesy
30:42They'll be down in the second half of games. He's that type of football player. Just blindly throw it in his direction
30:47He's going to make plays and that could add up
30:50But I do think he already has like basically one strike starting on his rookie season because Daniel Jones to me is his quarterback
30:56We'll see how it plays out throughout the majority of the regular season
30:59But certainly a fun market all the way through which leads Caleb Williams by far at a plus 120 price
31:05We're anointing him as the next great one
31:07And so is the fans of sportsbook in the odds market saying he should walk to that rookie of the year trophy
31:13We'll see if that happens NFL offensive player of the year odds
31:16We'll talk about those next and much more right here on the early line
31:20With all this NFL talk you have to be getting excited for opening night
31:24Which takes place tomorrow at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs going to take on the Baltimore Ravens a rematch of the AFC championship game
31:31But before we get there
31:32We have to get you prepared to get there as we continue to look at some of these great markets at the fans of sportsbook
31:37Which this one now includes the NFL offensive player of the year
31:41Which always makes me laugh a little bit doves because as you see the people that are listed here Tyree kill Christian McCaffrey CD
31:47Lamb, Jamar chase you go. Wait a second our quarterbacks offensive players, too
31:51Theoretically when the MVP is a quarterback
31:53But he is not the best offensive player of the year always brings a smile to my face
31:57But in this marketplace the wide receivers do rain King
32:00Typically Tyree killed a plus 750 price is the leader for the Miami Dolphins Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco
32:0649ers at a plus 950 price followed by CD Lamb Jamar chase Justin Jefferson and be John Robinson
32:12It's a great market. That is a little bit quirky. But again the same question still prevails
32:17Do we agree that Tyree kill doves should be the favorite in the clubhouse to start the season?
32:23Yeah, we do Donny and this is one of the short price futures that I would absolutely
32:27Take offensive player of the year the cheetah at plus 650. We know he's gonna put up monster numbers. He's got speed and bunches
32:34I don't see any kind of drop off there. I think two is gonna be even more efficient. It's he's number one time
32:39You've got waddle running down the other sidelines
32:42So he takes a bit of attention away the run game is gonna be there as well to set the table
32:46So Tyree kill now plus 750. I think it's a really good price
32:49You look at the second choice CMC Christian McCaffrey the star running back wide receiver
32:55Whatever you want to call the Swiss army knife of football
32:58He's gonna be there getting the numbers, but he's in a much more volatile position and running back where he is gonna get banged up
33:04It's very physical
33:05He could see a bit of time on the sidelines the further we get into the back end of the year
33:09The Tyree kill the cheetah playing in fair weather. I think he's gonna be fantastic. So plus 750. Yes, Donny
33:16I can't believe I'm saying it but I'm taking the first choice off the board at a decent number
33:21Yeah, we're expecting a big season at a Tyree kill
33:23I mean come on now guy just got paid waddle got paid to a got paid the offensive coordinator slash head coach
33:28He got paid and also got an extension
33:30So the vibes are certainly high down on South Beach for a big offensive season
33:34but it is interesting that we take a look at Christian McCaffrey that plus 950 price because he
33:39Lucky's not the right word. He's a great player
33:41And I know you can't lean on injuries
33:43But we've known in the past Christian McCaffrey to have some injury concerns
33:46You saw last year in one of the last games that they played in the regular season
33:50He came down with that calf injury
33:52But since the Philadelphia Eagles had dropped the game to the low the Arizona Cardinals that gave him extra time to heal up for the playoffs
33:57And he was great to the playoff run
33:59But now we see to start the season dubs already that calf injury which kept him out for most of the preseason
34:04They're saying he should be fine for game number one on Monday night against the Jets
34:07But it's never good to start the season technically already banged up here CD
34:11Lamb 11 to 1 price got that monster contract from the Dallas Cowboys. He had a phenomenal season last year
34:17You know
34:18He's gonna be in the top five with at least what receptions
34:21Receiving yards and touchdowns as long as he's healthy followed by Jamar chase at a 12 to 1 price
34:26So we're looking at two wide receivers one got paid and is in the fall
34:29The other one is looking to get paid and then there's Jefferson
34:32Justin Jefferson who reset the markets all time for wide receivers at 12 to 1. Let me ask you this question
34:38CD lamb Jamar chase Justin Jefferson in your mind out of those three who has the better season this year. Oh
34:47Okay, Jamar chase question marks. Is he happy? Is he gonna get by Justin Jefferson?
34:52I think we see a massive drop off there. No Kirk cousins
34:56It's gonna take a couple of growing pains to figure this out and for CD lamb, I'd say CD lamb
35:01I'll lock in CD lamb at 11 to 1
35:03But that's not my number one wide receiver. If I'm looking outside the cheetah Tyree kill
35:08I think the value the price play on this board for offensive player of the year. It's gonna be I'm on rock
35:13St. Brown for the Detroit Lions. I mean he was saying receptions last season
35:17So he's gonna get plenty of targets plenty of looks. He's got great hands on him
35:21He went over 1500 receiving yards 10 touchdowns. So he's got that Wow factor as well
35:26And by all reports is an absolute locker room guy. The team loved playing with him. They love playing for him
35:32So I'm on Ross St. Brown. I'm playing the quarterback here as well
35:35Jared golf who I think is coming into his prime you prime use in the National Football League
35:39That's the price play for me. If I was to look outside of Tyree killer plus 750
35:44It's gonna be I'm on rock St. Brown a nice little number
35:48Awesome market all the way through is again Tyree kill who is the favorite right now to be NFL
35:53Offensive player the year used to play in Kansas City the MVP in the market right now plus 450 price
35:59Patrick Wilhelms is in Kansas City along with Travis Kelsey
36:03The reason we're gonna have Travis Kelsey is the man is 35 years old
36:06They give him a boatload of money in the offseason and rightfully
36:09So when we talk about quarterbacks that can still be in their prime at 35, it makes some sense
36:13We see quarterbacks play well into the late 30s and play effectively here, but for a skill position player, that's an anomaly here
36:20So the question marks now come up with Kansas City. Should they be putting Travis Kelsey on a pitch count?
36:26He disagrees. That's just about every player would disagree and say no. No, put me out there. Let me run. I'm healthy
36:32I still think I can play no pitch count. I don't care. It's not going to happen
36:36So when we take a look at the season props for Kelsey 79 and a half receptions reception yards
36:42830 you take a look at touchdowns six and a half
36:45So the buy or sell question that we have for you today dub see is this gonna be Travis Kelsey's final NFL season?
36:54Yes, yes, this will be Travis
36:57Final season in the NFL before he goes and hits the recording booth with Taytay Taylor Swift
37:03I mean he just signed what a hundred million dollar for his podcast with the brother
37:08What motivation is there to go out and continue to get banged up?
37:11They're looking for the trifecta the hat-trick in search of another Lombardi
37:15I think they've got a really good chance, but nothing gets easier at 35 years of age
37:2035 coming up in October here for year 12. They've already got Jared Wiley out of TCU
37:25I think that's going to be the next tight end in line there and of us to look at some of those props
37:29It's going to be the unders in touchdowns here. The books got him set at six and a half
37:33He had five last year. You look at some of the other weapons Isaiah Pacheco. He's only getting stronger with that run game
37:39I think Xavier Worthy is gonna see a bit more attention here. So for Travis Kelsey, I don't think we see a pitch count
37:46I do think we've seen for the final year in the National Football League before he goes off to enjoy the spoils of a
37:51Podcast and have it a missus like Taylor Swift
37:55W there was a time in the NFL where the players would play their
37:591614 game schedule in the offseason lay concrete build houses do construction and sell cars
38:04Obviously most players are paid handsomely, but the careers are typically short Travis
38:09Kelsey said a nice long careers made a ton of money, but you're right about this
38:12Like if he retires today
38:14He is a podcast that him and his brother going to split
38:17Fifty million dollars apiece and who knows in three to four years if it's even popular at that point
38:21They get another hundred million dollars and also yes having your girlfriend
38:25Maybe fiance maybe future wife being a billionaire
38:28Sometimes you take a look and say you know
38:29What do I need to keep on beating my head against a brick wall and play NFL football?
38:34Maybe not more by yourself up next radio on the early line Wednesday morning edition last segment of our number two here on the early
38:41Line on a Wednesday morning edition. It's dubsy
38:44It's Donnie and we are hitting the hot topics which includes buy or sell segment number two
38:49Which we just talked about Travis Kelsey
38:51Maybe the best tight end could be in the history of professional football a lot of accolades a lot of first-team all pros
38:57Pro Bowls that he's made Super Bowl championships trying to win three in a row this year and making a ton of money doing it
39:03Will it be his last year? We'll find out but how about his brother Jason Kelsey?
39:07Maybe one of the best centers
39:08If not the best center of all time in the NFL a seven-time Pro Bowler six times first-team all pro
39:15Super Bowl champion and 13 seasons in the NFL all with the Philadelphia Eagles as you saw
39:21There was a lot of hubbub from the league office and the press and other teams. It's unfair the tush push
39:26You know, the Eagles do it so well, we can't do it. You got to take it out
39:30Well granted the NFL goes well, everybody can do it and no it's not a dangerous play
39:34So it's going to continue but the question is now Jason Kelsey basically was the originator
39:39It's center for the tush push if it continues dubsy. Will it be as effective in?
39:47Philadelphia by yourself
39:50Absolutely, not. I'm I'm selling on this one
39:53The tush push has no chance of being as effective without Jason Kelsey. What do we got? Cam Juergens coming across?
39:59It's a new locker new position. It took a hundred and ninety three games
40:04For Kelsey to perfect this move things are gonna look a lot differently. No doubt
40:09They're gonna try but surely
40:11Every other team in the National Football League have figured out how this works for the Eagles and I don't think this one's gonna fly
40:17So I'm selling on this one Donny the Eagles they're gonna have to scheme up a couple of new
40:21Tricks if you're willing for Cam Juergens
40:23There may be a couple of growing pains in trying to match the efforts of one of the great
40:28Eagles who was doing it all before him
40:31Also doves you paid a lot of money for your new superstar running back
40:35Say Quan Barkley who you know how he likes to get rewarded on the one-yard line
40:40Give me the football. Let me score some touchdowns and also from a Jalen Hurst perspective like you know what?
40:45I'll hand it off. I don't have to go to that beating. I might take up the middle
40:48So some interesting thoughts behind that we'll find that again Friday night
40:51If that tush push is as powerful as it's been in the past. Let's keep moving forward and why not talk a little Tom Brady
40:57Well, he's not playing right now in the NFL, but he's going to be calling games for the NFL
41:03Here's the issue
41:04I have that we're gonna get to him by himself and if anybody see any of these stories Tom Brady did buy into the Raiders
41:09And it was approved, but now that he's in the broadcast booth
41:12Here's what used to take place if anybody's ever known about these meetings or knows what's goes down
41:16Typically you get to talk with the head coach whether it's college football or pro football
41:20They're gonna give you pointers on what to watch and it's confidentiality that says look
41:24I'm gonna tell you we might go for a dubsy on a fourth down punt gear somewhere in the second half
41:29So the announcers would be prepared and it adds to a better game day
41:33Experience by letting the announcers know what you typically might be doing during that game
41:37Well, Tom Brady now has NFL restrictions on him since he's a team owner
41:41He can't attend the team's practice facility by saying, okay, I'm gonna do the Monday night football game
41:46Let me fly in on a Thursday and catch up with the coaches and the team here to see how things are
41:50You can't go to practices. You can't go to production meetings in the NFL, which is ridiculous. But again, Tom Brady's a superstar
41:57I'm sure he'll get by but that insider information he's not going to get it's kind of interesting how's it plays out?
42:02So bringing up the next topic here is Tom Brady is always ready to play football again by yourself
42:09Tom Brady will play football for the Raiders this season
42:15Tom Brady's got a better chance of becoming a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu if you ask me Donnie
42:22Absolutely. No
42:2347 years of age. He's already had enough, you know, I guess offseason work if you will
42:28But what a Fox thinking a 10-year contract at three hundred and seventy five million dollars
42:33They're not paying him to be quarterback. They're paying him to give us the best viewing
42:37Experience the very best analysis and suddenly with everything going on there with the Raiders
42:42Brady's not gonna have the best chance to do that
42:44So they've got to be sitting back saying hey, you can't have your cake and eat it, too
42:48I think he's gonna have to make up a decision here either or or the NFL are gonna make it for him
42:54He's had a wild career man
42:56Obviously all that success and accolades in New England then he goes down to Tampa Bay wins a Super Bowl for them
43:01Then it turns out maybe he wanted to go to the Miami Dolphins got coaches fired got an NFL investigation
43:07Now he shows nothing wants to buy into the Raiders. It's finally approved
43:10Now does he want to play for a team that he actually is part ownership of and also the last time we did see Tom?
43:16Brady wasn't winning championships in the NFL was he looks real slow in the pocket out there
43:2347 I I'm going to be
43:2647 years old. How the heck can you play even stickball out front of your house or Sandlot football?
