00:00Well, now we move to Sunday, to jolly old London, England, where I think I need to make a mea culpa here because, uh,
00:08the Bears definitely don't suck. Matt Iberflues might suck. Shane Waldron definitely sucks, but, uh, I don't think the Bears suck.
00:17Now, they crushed Carolina yesterday, Week 5 NFL Sunday, and Carolina's bad, but still, like, you're supposed to crush bad teams.
00:25The Bears did that, they get a ton of credit. They will play the Jacksonville Jaguars, who got off the schneid and win yesterday against Indianapolis,
00:32despite more heroics off the couch from Joe Flacco. Just like, how do you think Browns fans feel, watching Deshaun Watson in their game,
00:40and then watching Joe Flacco in this game for the Colts, just slinging it, uh, down the field against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
00:46Trevor Lawrence plays well, Jaguars win and move to 1-4. Femi, Bears, 2.5 point favorites in London against the Jags, total here, 44.5.
00:56Yeah, in terms of the side, there's nothing for me. If it ever got to 3, and who knows what happens between now and kickoff Sunday morning,
01:01but if it ever got to 3, I think I would bet the Jacksonville Jaguars, I wouldn't feel like super comfortable about it.
01:06I don't think it will, at least I don't think. Evan Ingram's also gonna be back in the game, at least that's what's being reported right now out of Jacksonville,
01:12so at least Trevor Lawrence, a big-time target for him coming back into the game, which is what they need.
01:17Obviously, he's already established a really good target with Brian Thomas Jr., the rookie, who's a stud.
01:21But for me, I think it was honestly B would be plus 3, but if it doesn't get to plus 3, maybe a lean toward the under.
01:26I don't really love these London games. They can get a little bit weird, as we saw this past Sunday with the Jets and the Vikings.
01:32You never know what you're gonna get. Now, Jacksonville's familiar with this setup. They go there every single year.
01:36Last year, they went there for the two weeks. This year, they're doing the same thing, so they have some familiarity with this kind of a setup,
01:41but I think both of these defenses, the Jacksonville defense has potential, but they've been getting lit on fire.
01:47So I don't know. Maybe they're just not good, and maybe Nielsen maybe fooled us all, but the Chicago defense is actually legit.
01:52They're really good, so I think the Bears defense being the best unit on the field, maybe that dictates to this being more of an under type of game,
02:00so I would kind of lean that way, but I would do it very cautiously just based on what we've seen from Jacksonville the last couple of weeks
02:05and what they've been doing on defense, but for me, I'm passing the game side in total for right now.
02:09Let's see if we get some market movement a little bit later on in the week.
02:12I'm passing the game for now as well.
