00:00So let's preview the two Monday night games tonight. That's right. I said two, two Monday night football games tonight. And with no baseball, this will be a focus. WNBA is over. NBA starts tomorrow night.
00:12The high-flying Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a challenge tonight at Raymond James Stadium. They're three and a half point underdogs at home to the Baltimore Ravens. Look at the total there, Vinny. 49 and a half.
00:24Naturally, there's some expectation that we could be for a high-flying Monday night football game. Do you see it that way? Do you have any opinion on this one?
00:32Yeah, it's obviously dangling out there with a hook that it's underdog on Monday night football. So I think the quarterbacks are going to have a lot of success in this game.
00:42I mean, the Ravens' secondary is not very good. The Buccaneers' secondary has been okay, but you can still torch them downfield. And the Bucs' run defense, usually a strength that they've had, is not that.
00:53And that's not good against Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson coming in. The Bucs, will they be able to run a little bit? They went nuts last week with Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, but the Ravens are a different story.
01:04They're the best run defense in the league. So I think if you look at the balance, the way the Ravens are going to move the ball, they'll probably get it done on the ground, try to put it away in the air.
01:12And then the Bucs are probably going to be struck, thrown a lot, but they should be comfortable with that, the way Baker Mayfield's playing.
01:19All right. So now let's get to the other game between the, well, actually, you know, let's take a look at, we have some odds for Lamar Jackson, his rushing yards. Let's hit that real quick.
01:2850 plus is minus 125, 60 plus minus 132. And then after that, he'd have to do some things that he normally does like once or twice a season.
01:3770 plus yards is plus 200. I won't ask you to go beyond that. Any of those first three?
01:42Yeah, I'll go with a 60. I think he's going to find some room to run here. I mean, again, the secondary is going to have to protect against those big plays.
01:50So that's going to leave some openings here and they have to really focus on Derrick Henry and that's going to help Lamar as well.
01:56And you might be headed to a third MVP at this rate.
01:59Yeah, playing great. All right. Chargers Cardinals is the later matchup. Cardinals were really worked over by the Packers last week, but beyond that, they've actually played pretty competitive.
02:08Chargers want to play this Harbaugh brand of football, run the ball and win in the fourth quarter. Total 44 and a half. Do you see Arizona bouncing back after last week?
02:19What I like about the Chargers, they're very methodical. They don't tell you differently how they are.
02:24They're going to run the ball, stop the run and try to beat them. And their defense has been fantastic.
02:30Jesse Minter, Jim Harbaugh always has the team prepared here. So unfortunately, these are two teams that don't really have a home field advantage either way.
02:37That actually helps the Chargers being on the road here in Arizona. So I think they take care of business.
02:42I think that's one thing the Chargers, if they can run, have success doing that, you expect them to come through and win.
02:47And Jim Harbaugh is going to get them rolling here. I think next week they get the Saints.
02:51So it could be another opportunity just to stay hot here for Los Angeles. Looks like they're a playoff team at this point.
