00:00I'm Thursday Night Football with the Jets and the Texans where you know we broke this news
00:03yesterday on the show. We didn't break it but we talked about it. Stephon Diggs out for the season
00:07for the Texans. Nico Collins a week away at least from returning. We think Nico will be back next
00:12week for the Texans when they host the Detroit Lions. Where are we at right now with the Texans
00:18and Aaron Rodgers and the Jets and Aaron Rodgers thinks that like putting cayenne pepper in water
00:23is like the fountain of youth. You go to any like health food store in the country
00:27and they're going to sell you a $13 drink with water and cayenne pepper. I've had them before.
00:32It is not the fountain of youth and they also taste like you know what.
00:36Yeah this I think a really really interesting game not just from a line movement standpoint
00:41but how people are talking about this game. This game has drawn a lot of attention. It's the Jets
00:45of course the Jets game is going to be of interest. It's in prime time. This team isn't super
00:49polarizing since like two years ago and then the Houston Texans with all the injuries that they
00:53have step on digs. Nico Collins both those guys out digs out for the rest of the season. But
00:57what's interesting with this one is that a lot of people are sort of surprised that the New York
01:02Jets are favored in this game. I've seen a bunch of tweets and a bunch of people saying like oh wow
01:06how are the Jets who are 2 and 6 favorite over the 6 and 2 team. Like it just like a lot of folks
01:10that are still catching up to I guess the betting markets and how these things tend to operate
01:14which may present a chance for some value in terms of the betting because I think you're
01:18gonna get a lot of sharp bettors or quote unquote sharp bettors that like the New York Jets in this
01:22spot. I'm hoping that's what happens and then we can maybe go out a little bit further because all
01:27the money this week has been on game green. This was Pickham on Sunday. Now we're out to two. Could
01:32we ever get to two and a half. We would never get to three. That's wishful thinking. But even two
01:36and a half to where it's like maybe you tease the Houston Texans or get them at like plus 120
01:41on the money line. At that point I'd be interested in Houston but the line movement has been on the
01:45under 43 to 42 and it's been all on the New York Jets pick to two just given the injury status of
01:51the Houston Texans wide receiver core digs out for the season. Nico Collins out still on the IR
01:56although the Jets have injuries as well. I think a lot of people want to play against Houston's
02:00wide receiver status heading into this game on a short week. So hear me out.
02:06How does Texans teaser up to plus seven and a half lose or plus eight lose?
02:12It feels good. Against the Jets. Does feel good. Against the Jets because I'm telling you like I
02:16said this to Baldy. This is like the Jets should win this game by 20 points and then the game
02:21happens and the Texans win 16-14. But do you see by the way the Jets did today? They put Greg
02:25Zerline on IR. They can't outright release him. They made up an injury for him. This is true.
02:31They like apparently he had an injury that they didn't disclose. They disclosed it yesterday. Now
02:35he's on IR today and they signed two kickers. I think Riley Patterson's probably going to be
02:39their kicker. Can't be worse than Greg Zerline. Maybe the Jets win the game by one point. I don't
02:44know. Like Texans teaser up to like plus seven and a half with C.J. Stroud and also like the
02:50Jets run defense is Charmin Soft. Here's Joe Mixon. I don't know. Texans teaser feel pretty
02:56good to me. That's the first game of the week for me. I kind of want to bet Houston just to win.
03:00I would not begrudge you for doing that in the slightest. I think teasing Houston is the way
03:05to go here in this game.
