00:05Week number five beginning in Atlanta tonight and NFC South
00:08battle between the Bucks and the Falcons. Falcons are out to a
00:11two and two start Scottie their offense. I think it's been a
00:14little bit of hit or miss so far. They've had some good
00:17games. They did not score an offensive touchdown last week
00:20despite that win over the Saints at home. Here is
00:23quarterback Kirk Cousins work in progress, but we're getting
00:26better. Yeah, I think now four games in you do have a sample
00:29size to work off of. I think we've ascended each week. We
00:33have improved which is encouraging, but I think there's
00:35more to go get and that's why I think there is a lot of
00:38excitement about Thursday night because we see it as another
00:40opportunity to kind of continue to improve. Yeah, I just I
00:45just don't think they look that good to me like what is
00:48blowing your mind about the Atlanta Falcons like it's going
00:50to get way better than this. What where is that coming from
00:54like what indicators are that they're going to be much better
00:58than what they look like right now. I think, you know, the
01:01old Denny Green. They are who we thought they were right like
01:05it is what it is. This is who they are. I mean, we've already
01:08said they escape. Look, they won the game. They beat the
01:11Saints. That's all that matters a wins a win. I don't care
01:14how you get it. You kick a field goal. We've always believed
01:17on this show that you got to have kickers. You don't have
01:20kickers in the NFL that you know, especially in betting
01:23with all these hooks, you know, two and a half three and a
01:27half, you know, five and a half, six and a half, seven and
01:30a half. If you don't have kickers, you're dead. Ask Brian
01:33Dable how that worked out for him. We're going to go into the
01:35game without a kicker. See how we do. So the Falcons have a
01:39kicker and you know, it's like anything else. I said that in
01:43this Raven game with the Bengals, they both have kickers
01:47Tucker. They say slump and I'll believe that when I see it and
01:50then McPherson can kick it too. So look at the Steelers. He's
01:53one of the players in a week boss. Well, if you got a great
01:56kicker, good things can happen. I think the Raiders have a
01:59kicker, you know what I mean? They got all these guys. If you
02:02got a great kicker, you can do things. What what did folk do
02:05the other night? Five field goals. I mean, this is huge. So
02:09that's the only thing I've been impressed with them really
02:11impressed that they got that they can move the ball down the
02:13field, get kicks, get points. That's all that matters. I
02:16still think the Buccaneers are better than them.
02:20Here is Baker Mayfield, of course, quarterback of the three
02:24and one box talking about going on the road here on a Thursday
02:27night and their three and one start so far. I mean, you try
02:30and treat any game the same, but I mean, you know, the weight
02:33that it carries when you play divisional opponents and just
02:36the opportunity on a short week playing against somebody on the
02:38road. It's a great opportunity for us to continue to build
02:41what we've had so far, but you know, I think back at last year
02:44every year is different but think back at last year. We were
02:46three and one at this point to now. I wouldn't say that we
02:50operated as clean and we knew our identity, but right now
02:54don't take anything for granted just because you start three
02:56and one. Like you said, it's a long year got to continue to
02:58improve and just build as the year goes on.
03:03This guy just continues to impress me the way he plays. He
03:07just gets it done. That's just all there is to it. You know
03:10tonight he is going to attack that Falcon defense all night.
03:16He's going to sling it all night and my man goes for it. He
03:19throws it. He ain't afraid to take chances risks, whatever you
03:23want to call it. He'll run. He'll throw it. He'll sling it
03:26and he's got it down to a science. I think with Evans. I
03:30mean, he knows how to get that ball into Evans hands. There's
03:33a you know, this guy isn't stupid the way he plays he goes
03:36for it with the main guy Evans is the man and he gets him to
03:40rock. It just it never ceases to amaze me how Evans just keeps
03:45hauling in big catches and making big plays.
03:49He does do that. The Falcons are favored tonight at home
03:52minus two and a half at this moment. 43 and a half is now
03:56the total so it's ticked up. I think it was 42 and a half
03:59when we talked yesterday. So two and a half and 43 and a half
04:03for tonight. It sounds like you like the Bucks.
04:07Yeah. I like the Bucks. I mean, obviously, I think the you
04:12know, Falcons could win the game. I think anything's
04:15possible. I'm not stupid, but I like the Bucks here. I like
04:18Baker Mainfield. Look, I think Cousins is equally, you know
04:23tough. I mean he can he can put up numbers. There's no denying
04:27what he's been able to do in the NFL. I've never liked him as
04:32a playoff type guy or big game guy to me. He's been a really
04:37really good regular season guy big numbers big stats makes
04:42lots of money, but he's never been a big time big money game
04:46player. And listen, I thought Baker Mayfield last year had
04:50the Lions right where he wanted him. They had the ball. They
04:53had a chance to win the game. He threw a pick. It is what it
04:55is. He like I said, he takes chances and he tries to win
04:59games. He's been a good quarterback as far as I'm
05:02concerned since Oklahoma. I mean, I thought he was really
05:06exciting in college. I think he was in a bad situation. I
05:10thought he got mauled in Cleveland. I didn't think they
05:13protected him. Then I thought when he had a shot in LA to
05:17play did well and then when he finally got his shot in Tampa,
05:20he played I thought exceedingly well and now he's got the
05:23hundred million dollar contract. I think he's right where he
05:25needs to be. I think he's a good quarterback. I believe in him
05:29like I know that guy can win games. He found himself a home
05:34there, which is nice to see after some travels around the
05:38league. So and he's a good quarterback. I agree with you.
05:40I slightly lean to the Falcons tonight only because I'm a
05:44short week division game. I have side to the home team. I
05:48think the team bucks are a little better, but I think that
05:51the Falcons might find a way at home tonight. So small lean
05:54for me Scotty there on the Atlanta. I'll give you some
05:57touchdowns though. I'm more concerned about the tights.
06:00I want you to come back.
06:21Right here with you on pro football today on sports grid
06:24odds in motion trying to see what lines have moved throughout
06:27the week. Never felt more comfortable in the set than I do
06:29for this year. I'm ready. I'm just getting angry. The hot
06:31takes are going to be here.
06:34What in the world is going on in Miami? It's not particularly
06:39anything to shy away from just because many people are on top
06:42of it. I think this line is asking you once again to take
06:46your own pro football today only on sports grid.
06:51Simply put the only way to bet. This is over under winter.
06:56I love how I look. I think it's one of the five best coaches
06:59in the league. But my dear friend George Sorelis told us
07:04to be a long time ago.
07:07You can't win. You don't get the talent.
07:11Unfortunately, I don't think the Clippers have the talent to
07:13match up betting above the Ram only on sports grid.
07:21The Bostonian versus the book. Would it make you feel better
07:26as a better or as a sports fan? Now, they said after the game
07:30we were trying to cover the script.
07:32Oh God, just say it out loud.
07:35Oh my god.
07:36So what do you say to say it out loud? Oh my god, you can't
07:39say that out loud. No, you can't even you can't do that.
07:41Okay. So so what is the big deal either way?
07:45Oh play the game the right way.
07:46The Bostonian versus the book.
07:51Sunday Night Football, not really much of a match up here
07:54and the bills look so good up until this point. And you know
07:57to me, it's probably like a one-off for them. The basic
08:00thing you have to do against Ravens force them to pass
08:03and try to use their weapons downfield get them behind
08:05because if you can do that, then it takes Derek Henry a little
08:08bit out of the game. But if you get them with momentum coming
08:11out of the gate getting them on touchdown run to the first
08:14play Newswire only on Sports Grid.
08:45All right. So what are the best bet props that are going up
08:50right now for this game the night of the bends?
08:53Of course, these are the most bet player props for tonight.
08:57Scotty everybody in the mix with Bucky Irving. Yes, rookie
09:02running back for the Bucks who kind of is starting to take
09:05some carries from Rashad white over 43 and a half rushing
09:08yards for him be John over 26 and a half receiving yards.
09:12He's gone over that a couple times this year Tyler Algear
09:16over 33 and a half rushing yards Kirk Cousins under one
09:19and a half passing touchdowns and Chris Godwin under 64
09:24and a half passing you are receiving yards, excuse me.
09:29Yeah, I'm not really that excited about any of those. I'd
09:32say the one that stands out to me is the be John one.
09:36I think that they like to pop him underneath and give him
09:39the ball out of Cousins hands when he's in trouble. I think
09:43Cousins will do better than that under one and a half. I think
09:47he literally will throw two tutties tonight in this game.
09:51I think Baker Mayfield is going to throw a couple as well.
09:55And I don't know about all this under stuff. I'm feeling like
09:58tonight can be wild. I'm going over.
10:01I hope you're right. As I always say to you, I would prefer
10:04wild game as opposed to a snoozer. I actually prefer like
10:09the lion Seahawk game Monday as opposed to the Dolphin Titan
10:13game Monday. Like that's like the perfect barometer. Those two
10:16games that were Monday night. Give me the game with the back
10:20and forth and lots of points. I prefer that with my primetime
10:24games. You said that these guys could throw a couple touchdowns.
10:27Well, I got a few guys that maybe they could throw them to
10:29how about we get Baker right out of the gate first Tuttee
10:33for Evans. He hit it last Sunday against the Eagles. Let's hit
10:36it again. Plus 850 for a first Tuttee for Mike Evans tonight.
10:41I do have Bucky on the card there Bucky plus a buck 75 for
10:47Tampa to get in the end zone and Cousins. You said might throw
10:50one or two. He's going to throw two Tuttees. Let's get one of
10:53them to Darnell Mooney at plus 240 who's actually gotten a lot
10:57of burn. He's gotten a lot of targets. He's been getting
11:00himself over 60 65 yards pretty much every week. Let's get Mooney
11:04in the end zone. Maybe on a big play. Yeah, I like those. I
11:08like Bijan anytime and I think you know, he's going to throw it
11:14to London. I can see him having one as well. The guy that's
11:19blown my mind is pits that you know, I've been hearing about
11:22this guy that he's this amazing receiver for what two years now
11:27is he ever going to do anything in a football game? No for as
11:30much juice as he gets as much talk as he gets. Could this guy
11:35ever do anything big in a game? I'd like to see it. How about
11:38tonight? He has one. I'm done betting him so you can have it
11:46that guy's he's a stiff. I mean he just he doesn't catch you
11:50and you probably will now because I'm smashing him right
11:53now. I'm finished with him. I've been him every week. So
11:56tonight, you know what go run to the window with Kyle Pitts
11:58because tonight the night he is going to score because I'm done
12:00with him. I want nothing to do with the guy. He's a total hack.
12:03There you go. The Falcons and the Bucks and I got it. Can you
12:06tell how upset Kyle Pitts has made me over the last couple
12:09weeks? I think I just let you know right there how much he
12:12bothers me. All right, let's start to get to some of these
12:15games overrated. I mean what all I heard all cousins is there
12:20now. He's got a real quarterback. I didn't catch a
12:23ball last week. I mean, what are we you never catch in that
12:27game last Sunday? What are we doing here? He only had 50 the
12:31week before was his only catch. You caught a 50-yarder in the
12:34chief game and this guy's just not involved whatsoever in the
12:38offense. I'm sick of hearing about Kyle Pitts.
