00:00week number 10 in the second half of this season starts with
00:03an instant classic between Baltimore and Cincinnati in the
00:07Sunday slate more than likely will end with an instant
00:10classic as well. Sunday night football is set to be an
00:13absolute banger and a marquee match up in H town. The Texans
00:18the top team in the AFC South hosting perhaps the best team
00:22in the National Football League. The top team in the NFC
00:25North. The top team in the conference as a whole the seven
00:29and one Detroit Lions to Houston. We go on Sunday night
00:34the Lions Joe who have been the best cover team in the National
00:37Football League this season last season all three and a half
00:42years with Dan Campbell are laying a number on the road for
00:45Sunday night football three and a half points spread in favor
00:49of Detroit total stands at 48 and a hook. What can we expect
00:53from Sunday night football in Houston? Well, we we better get
00:58a handle on what's going on with Nico Collins and Will
01:01Anderson who both missed practice yesterday, Ben. So is
01:06one going to play is is not going to or neither playing
01:11because this is there. That's a pretty big piece to what Houston
01:14is trying to do, but I also think we understand that the
01:18Houston Texans are a different team at home than they have
01:22been on the road. Certainly CJ Stroud has been a different
01:25quarterback at home than he has been on the road. So if Nico
01:30can't get back, I mean Tank Dell Dalton Schultz Robert Woods.
01:37Okay. Is that going to go up toe to toe with what Detroit's
01:41going to bring to the table? I I I don't know. I think it's a
01:46overvaluing spot all year with the Texans. I don't think
01:49they're as good as everyone thinks they are and I think the
01:52Lions are just the team that if they are not at the top of
01:55their game and have all their best players available, which
01:57it looks like they won't this could get ugly than in a big
02:01big way and Joe. We saw that to an extent right last time we
02:06saw the Houston Texans a week ago yesterday short week
02:10Thursday night game on the road sure against the New York
02:13Jets, but the Texans entered that game basically as a slight
02:17underdog expected to keep pace with New York. They did in the
02:20opening half by the time we reached the second half. They
02:24had no chance. The defense broke down against Aaron Rogers
02:27in the Jets passing attack and that offense looked rather
02:30lifeless. Now Joe Mixon has been sensational this year. A
02:33great offseason acquisition for Houston. Basically every time
02:37he has been healthy remained in a full game. He has had 100
02:41scrimmage yards. He's probably the best offensive piece. We
02:44have not seen Nico Collins at practice yet for the Texans
02:48Houston's in a fine spot. They're six and three. They're
02:51above 500. They're only three five and one though against the
02:55spread this year. They've only been an underdog now twice this
03:00season after being a dog a ton early on last year with CJ
03:04Stroud as a rookie and of course D'Amico Ryan's in his
03:08rookie season as a head coach, but Joe anybody to stand in the
03:12way of the Detroit Lions right now might be facing an uphill
03:16battle. The Lions are seven and one. They have covered in all
03:20seven games. They have been an underdog in seven of the or
03:23they've been a favorite rather in seven of the eight games.
03:26They have played this year. They are 44 and 18 now against
03:30the number with Dan Campbell as the head man in the Motor City.
03:34That is a cover percentage of 71%. No other team in the NFL.
03:39None of the 31 other organizations are even covering
03:42in 61% or more of their games and the Lions are 10 percentage
03:47points above that at 71% Joe. There's a conversation around
03:52Detroit. Are they the best team in the National Football League?
03:56They have the second best price to win a Super Bowl. I think
03:58they might put that on display on Sunday night because as a
04:03road favorite of more than a field goal, even against the
04:06shorthanded Texans, if Detroit goes out there and covers once
04:09again, there will be little doubt. Yeah. Well, there
04:14shouldn't be any doubt anyway. I mean those numbers you just
04:16rattled off and are just absolutely unbelievable and
04:20they're already we know this year Ben those numbers aren't
04:24shocking the public. The public backs Detroit a lot. In fact, I
04:30believe already this year four and oh against the number when
04:33the public is all in on him. Fourteen and two when the
04:36public is in on him over the last two seasons. I mean you
04:39look at it and you go. Oh, that's it's a public dog. We
04:42don't want to go that they're on the road. Yeah. No, I don't
04:45think so. All the Lions do is cover when the public backs
04:49them. So this is exactly the kind of pick that normally been
04:53if it was any other team, we'd be like can't back them on the
04:56road as a favorite. Well, you can back Detroit on the road as
04:59a favorite and sleep well at night knowing there's a good
05:02chance. It's going to cash for you again. The NFC North still
05:06a highly competitive division, but Detroit sits in first and
05:10with the best place at minus 210. The Vikings are six and two
05:13the Packers who the Lions beat last week or six and three, but
05:17still right around that conversation. Joe when you look
05:20at the Lions a couple of weeks ago, we saw them put up 52
05:23points and Jared Goff had eighty-five passing yards and
05:27three touchdowns. Jared Goff's efficiency though in the last
05:31few weeks has been otherworldly. I believe I look
05:35this up. I'll double check on them twelve incompletions. I
05:39think in total in the last four to five weeks, it has been
05:43insane and if the Texans aren't doing much offensively a lot of
05:48the pressure falls on the defense. How are you going to
05:52look at the prime time props for Sunday night football? We
05:55see golf at 225 and a hook right now CJ Stroud on the other
05:58side who might be without a lot of his key offensive target
06:02Steph Diggs and Nico Collins at 230 and a hook. Yeah. This was
06:08almost made my list Ben later for alternate lines here and I
06:12went with Jared Goff over one and a half touchdown passes
06:17given the fact that oh, I don't know the Texans defense has
06:21allowed nineteen passing touchdowns already this year,
06:24which is the most in the NFL and Goff's already gone over that
06:27in five of his last six. So and that's despite the fact
06:31they're not even asking him to throw games late because
06:33they've already blown the game wide open. So I would expect
06:37big games from guys like Jared Goff and Amon St. Brown in this
06:40one. Yeah for sure Joe and when you look at this Houston
06:44Texans offense again, Joe Mixon in all five fully healthy games
06:48this year, at least 106 scrimmage yards should be able
06:52to get over that number of 82 and a half, but CJ Stroud has
06:56had two of the two of his worst career performances in the last
07:00three weeks. His least passing yards in a game 86 3 weeks ago
07:04against the Packers last week, his worst career completion
07:07percentage 11 of 30 against the New York Jets and he was sacked
07:12eight times and oh the Lions added Zedarius Smith earlier
07:16this week at the deadline. Plenty more of a Sunday slate
07:19preview next. It's a football Friday on the early line on
07:24SportsGrid. We get you set for the start of the second half of
07:27this 2024 NFL season. It started last night in Baltimore. We
07:32hope those kind of games continue the whole second half
07:35of this season, but certainly on Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens
07:39despite being seven and three are not in the top spot in the
07:42AFC North standings that is currently occupied by the
07:46Pittsburgh Steelers. A perfect two and oh both straight up and
07:49against the number with Russell Wilson as their starting
07:52quarterback six and two straight up this season on the
07:57bye last week and now they head to Landover to take on the
08:01Washington Commanders who oh by the way are even better
08:05record-wise than that of Pittsburgh. Seven and two is the
08:08mark for Washington as we get ready for Sunday afternoon. The
08:12Commanders a two and a half point home favorite total at
08:1644 and Joe, how do you start your breakdown of this game
08:19between the Commanders and the Steelers? Yeah. Well, I I
08:23started to bend by immediately betting me over which is going
08:27to go contrarian to what the public is going to want here
08:30because the public is going to look at this Pittsburgh team
08:34coming off a by Pittsburgh on the road has been extremely
08:38good to the under Tomlin tends to be a little bit more
08:42conservative on the road than he is at home, but the reality
08:47is they have completely Pittsburgh remade their passing
08:50attack here. Russell Wilson. You make the trade for Mike
08:54Williams. You've got a much more balanced offense. Now,
08:58it's not going to be just run run run. so on that side, I
09:04think against this Washington defense, they're going to have
09:06success not just running the ball, but Russell's going to
09:09have success in taking shots down the field against this
09:11secondary very young secondary, which is why they made the
09:14trade for Lattimore and when you look at Washington, Brian
09:17Robinson Junior should be back, which is going to help them. Do
09:21we really need you know, Pittsburgh bless them. They can
09:24only play the teams on their schedule, but Ben they have
09:27played. I mean six straight offenses that are terrible
09:33passing the ball that is not going to be the case here in
09:36Washington. I mean the only team that even came close to
09:40having a heartbeat throwing the ball was Kirk Cousins in
09:42Atlanta, but that was early in the seasons and Kirk Cousins
09:45couldn't move. so I don't see that happening here. I don't
09:48think they're going to contain Daniels. I think they're going
09:50to have success moving the ball. I think this is a shoot
09:54out way more than it's going to be a rock fight in this game.
09:58Joe, what did you like to know that Pittsburgh is seeing their
10:01largest total of the year at 44 and a hook? Yes, a total of
10:06forty-four and a half is the largest number for one of the
10:09two teams in this game, not necessarily for the
10:12commanders who played multiple games with a total north of
10:15fifty Washington over in six of nine games this year, five of
10:19their last seven, including last week against the Giants
10:22who are not necessarily offensive juggernauts by any
10:26means the Steelers over in three straight games. In fact,
10:29they have gone over in both of the games that Russell Wilson
10:33has started. Najee Harris has hit the century mark in all
10:36three of these consecutive overs as well. Joe. I actually
10:40thought the rushing attack might take a step back
10:42inserting Russ as the starter and take it out Justin Fields.
10:46In fact, it has been quite the opposite and these are two
10:49teams that are performing so much higher than even
10:53expectation. We know the Steelers each and every year
10:55right. It's year number eighteen under Mike Tomlin.
10:58It's not a surprise to see the Steelers above 500 by any
11:02means, but here is Pittsburgh at eight and two at the midway
11:05point of the season in the top spot of the AFC North drastic
11:09market movement on their prices from where they were at
11:12the beginning of the season. Twenty-five to one to win the
11:15AFC now sixteen to one. They had the longest price to win
11:18the AFC North. They are not the favorites, but they are
11:21currently in first the commanders though even more
11:25drastic movement. Joe we're almost getting spoiled in the
11:28NFL right now with these rookie quarterbacks drafted second
11:31overall so exceeding expectation. They are going to
11:35lead their team to the playoffs. Washington has
11:38already built that cushion and yes, they have to play
11:41Philadelphia twice in their final eight games of this
11:45season. Their final seven after this week against the Steelers.
11:48I still believe the Eagles who are the favorites to win the
11:51NFC East are going to do that, but Joe outside of that sure
11:55the commanders get Dallas twice that probably look difficult
11:59earlier in the year. Not so much anymore and then a couple
12:02of games against the NFC South. I believe the commanders are a
12:05playoff team when all is said and done probably with very
12:08little doubt. Well, and they think they're a playoff team as
12:12well, Ben. I mean you don't have to look much further than
12:14what they did by going to get Lattimore. So this is a team
12:17that is pushed all in on the seven and two start of the
12:20season and they've got all the teams that they need to be in
12:24front of them. So kudos to the commanders. Can't wait to see
12:27how it works out. You can see some props for the quarterbacks
12:31as well. Russell Wilson and his two starts for the Steelers at
12:34least 264 passing yards. His number this week 216 and a
12:38hook our number two comes your way now. We welcome you to our
12:42number two live right here on this football Friday on the
12:45early line on Sports Grid. I am Ben Stevens. He is German. We
12:49preview every single game on the NFL Sunday slate for week
12:54number ten in the start of the second half of this NFL season.
12:58I believe Joe will be back with us here in just a matter of
13:02moments. Anyway, as we get you set for this upcoming Sunday,
13:07it's the start of the second half that is now underway as of
13:11last night at Instant Classic in Baltimore. We hope to see
13:15more of the same here moving forward and of course at the
13:19midway point of this NFL season, there is only one
13:23undefeated team that remains. It's the team that is one two
13:27consecutive Lombardi trophies. That is the Kansas City Chiefs
13:32man. This has been a fun football Friday to start off
13:36each of our two hours to begin the opening hour chaotic and
13:41here we are in our number two. Anyway, let's talk about the
13:44Chiefs right perfect eight and oh to begin this season. Some
13:48have pointed to the lack of victory margin being
13:51overwhelmingly impressive six of the eight wins decided by a
13:55single score a victory margin somewhere around a touchdown for
13:59the Chiefs in their opening half of this year and here we
14:02are again with another touchdown spread plus in favor
14:06of Kansas City as they host the Denver Broncos in a divisional
14:10duel on Sunday in Arrowhead. Joe and Eric back with us here
14:14on the early line. Alright, Joe. So as we look at this game,
14:18KC seven and a half point favorite against the Broncos. If
14:22there has been one blemish, if you will one hiccup on the
14:26resume of a perfect undefeated two-time reigning Super Bowl
14:29champion Kansas City Chiefs team, it's been their
14:32inability Joe to blow teams out. Might it happen on Sunday
14:36at home in KCMO against the Broncos? We talked about it
14:40last week though, Ben, right? At some point, this Kansas City
14:43Chiefs team is going to regress and they're not going to win all
14:47of these one score games. They have been in far too many of
14:51them. They haven't lost any of them and we just talked about
14:55the opposite last hour. The Cincinnati Bengals can't seem
14:58to win a one score game. They are oh and five when dealing
15:02with six points or less as a final and yet Kansas City has
15:06gotten all the breaks and a lot of those games including Ben,
15:09a pass interference call that ended up giving the win over
15:12those Cincinnati Bengals. So, I do think at some point, there
15:16are going to be a couple of games in which the ball is not
15:18going to bounce towards Kansas City. Now, could this be one of
15:21them? Well, the Denver defense is going to have to have a big
15:25say if that's going to be the case but judging from what I
15:28saw with that defense last game in Kansas City against Tampa,
15:33there are some that are some head scratching defense being
15:36played in that game against Tampa. I'm wondering if the
15:39running game of Denver can take advantage of it. And Joe, that
15:43was a big key, right? When Kansas City took that touchdown
15:46lead on the second TD pass to the Andre Hopkins on Monday
15:49night, they're up by seven in the fourth quarter. They had an
15:53opportunity for the offense to pick up a couple of first
15:56downs, move the chains, and drain the clock. Unable to do
15:59that, gave the football back to Baker Mayfield with just over
16:02two minutes left and of course, a very shorthanded offensive
16:06display for the Buccaneers. He drove the length of the field
16:09or at least over 70 yards and scored a touchdown to set that
16:14game into OT. The Chiefs did win. The average margin of
16:17victory, Joe, is exactly a touchdown. 7.0 points per game
16:21for Kansas City. The Chiefs have now been a favorite of six
16:24points or greater four times this year. Of course, they've
16:27won every game but they're just one in three against the spread
16:30and the one cover came back in the opening month of this year
16:33against the very shorthanded Chargers where Justin Herbert
16:36was hobbled and playing without each of his two starting
16:39tackles and yet KC was a six and a half point favorite and
16:43won that game by only a touchdown having to score late
16:46to do that. It has not been overwhelmingly impressive and
16:51yet here we are, the Kansas City Chiefs, the two time-rated
16:54champs who have won three Lombardi trophies in the last
16:56five years with a lone undefeated team in the NFL at
16:59a perfect eight and oh. Now, meanwhile, for the Broncos, last
17:03week, they got blown out in Baltimore, 41 to ten. Came
17:07nowhere close to even keeping it competitive as a nine and a
17:10half point underdog. The Broncos are three and three against the
17:14number as a dog this year. They're a perfect three and oh
17:16ATS when they have been booked as a favorite against a bad
17:20team on the other side but Joe, entering last week, I missed
17:23the teaser leg of our component of course that we'll do in the
17:26pick six because I thought Denver's defense would at least
17:29keep them in a game. They had no answer for Lamar Jackson. It
17:33was the first time the Broncos have been booked as a six point
17:36favorite or greater this year and it failed to cover a number
17:40three and one ATS. So, let's talk about Kansas City, right?
17:45Because they are eight and oh. They've got nine games on the
17:49horizon in the second half. They have already had thereby.
17:53We had the conversation after Monday night. A plus 850 number
17:57is now eight to one to go perfect unbeaten seventeen and
18:00oh that is a very large threshold to cross but Joe, as
18:06you look at Kansas City, how much longer do you expect KC to
18:10stay perfect? Uh again, not much longer. Uh a we also so we
18:17should mention, right? Uh a bit of an ankle issue there with
18:21Mahomes now which might make him a little less mobile on a
18:24short week in this game against uh Denver. So, listen, I and
18:29Mahomes and Andy Reed and this team has no interest in running
18:32the table and sacrificing everything to go undefeated. So,
18:36make no mistake about it. They understand it's a marathon and
18:39not a sprint especially this team. So, I do think there's
18:43going to be a couple of letdown games, a couple of games where
18:46it's not going to work out uh but I still think they're going
18:48to win the AFC West. I still think they're going to be in
18:51the AFC Championship game, Ben. We're not stupid enough to bet
18:55against them long term. We tried that for over a decade
18:59with Tom Brady and the Patriots and how did that work out? So,
19:02uh I don't see any reason to think that they won't be
19:06representing the AFC in the AFC Championship game with a
19:09chance to win a third straight Super Bowl. For sure, Joe. I
19:13would have to agree with you when it comes to that as well
19:16because again, when you look at Kansas City and how this team
19:20has been constructed in the six seasons with Patrick Mahomes as
19:23the starting quarterback for the first five, it was all
19:26offense and a defense that would improve throughout the
19:28course of a season when it mattered most. Last year, the
19:32offense was middle of the pack and it was the defense that was
19:36elite and yes, they were a little bit questionable on
19:39Monday night against the shorthanded Buccaneers but are
19:41still the fourth best scoring defense in the NFL allowing a
19:44tick over 18 points per game and when the Broncos have
19:48struggled, it's been because of an offense that is still
19:50learning with a young rookie quarterback in Bo Nicks. I do
19:54believe the Chiefs will win this game. They will stay
19:56unbeaten setting up a huge week eleven game in Buffalo where
20:02the odds as of now actually have KC as a very slight
20:06underdog in Western New York. The Bills currently are seven
20:10and two and more than likely are going to be eight and two
20:14when this week comes to a close Buffalo more than a field goal
20:17favor Joe in Indianapolis 47 and a half is that total again
20:22huge game on the horizon for both the Chiefs and the Bills
20:25week 11 against one another in Orchard Park before that though
20:29Joe will Buffalo cruise in Indy on Sunday. I wouldn't be
20:36running to the window to back Buffalo. I mean there's no
20:39doubt and they have been a bit of a juggernaut here. They
20:43seem to drop thirty or more points like like nobody's
20:47business. In fact, they've scored at least thirty points
20:49in each of their last three games, but at some point we all
20:54know Buffalo is good for a letdown game and this I think
20:58has the markings of just that a letdown game, especially with
21:02Kansas City on deck and I don't think the Colts are as bad as
21:07the four and five record says they may be. I do think that a
21:11bounce back could be in it for Indy this week. Well, they don't
21:15think they are as bad as a team sub 500. It was the reason they
21:19made the change from Anthony Richardson to Joe Flacco not
21:22just for last week in Minnesota, but the remainder of
21:25this year, Indianapolis believes it is a playoff team
21:29Joe entering last week. The Colts were seven and one
21:31against the spread a perfect five and O ATS as a dog now
21:35make that five and one against the number. Here's my thing.
21:39Let Joe Flacco go twenty-seven attempts for a buck seventy-nine
21:42and a pick last week. That's not why you inserted the near
21:45forty-year-old veteran. Let him rip. I would agree. It feels
21:51like a short spread and perhaps a little bit trappy for
21:55Buffalo more from the Sunday slate comes your way next for
21:58the first time in the 2024 NFL season. Christian McCaffrey
22:02will grace the field for the San Francisco 49ers. Of course
22:06was dealing with Achilles tendonitis in both of his legs.
22:10That just sounds painful and bad. He missed the opening
22:14eight games of the year for San Francisco, but after the
22:18bye for the 49ers, he is back at practice and Kyle Shanahan
22:21telling reporters yesterday that CMC is back expected to
22:26make his season debut Sunday in Florida against the Buccaneers
22:30Joe. The line earlier this week was five and a half in favor
22:33of San Francisco updated on this football Friday morning.
22:37It is now six and a half in favor of the Niners running
22:40backs do not often move the market at all long term or
22:44short term on a week to week basis in terms of a spread
22:48Christian McCaffrey might be the only one that would move
22:51the spread a point. It is six and a half now in favor of the
22:5449ers fifty and a hook is that total in Tampa. How do you see
22:59the game playing out between the 49ers and the Buccaneers?
23:03Not good for Tampa. I'll tell you that just thinking, but
23:08again, look at the injury reports for the first time this
23:10season, Ben. I do think the Niners are about as healthy as
23:14they have been, including the ability to be able to get
23:17Christian McCaffrey back to make his season debut. Now this
23:21is if I'm not mistaken, Ben, the only thing is that this is
23:26going to be a early start for a West Coast team. If you buy
23:29into something along those lines. However, I do think that
23:34they are going to get right and we've seen this from the 49ers,
23:38right? This is a team that in the second half of seasons
23:42usually kicks it into another gear to the tune of an NFL best
23:4723 and four in the second half of the season. That is weeks
23:5110 through 18 since 2021. They get right, they fit, they get
23:56healthy, they figure it out. And then from week 10 on they
24:00cruise. And unfortunately, I would love to have seen Tampa
24:04have their full compliment, but even Baker Mayfield is on the
24:07questionable list as he is banged up beyond all hair too.
24:11So what happens if Kyle Trask has got to be the quarterback?
24:14This five and a half feels like a like a gift if that's the
24:18case. So I just think it's going to be a whole lot of
24:2149ers and it's unfortunate for the Tampa Bay Bucks. 28 games
24:26for San Francisco, including Super Bowl 58 since the start of
24:31last year that the 49ers have been favored in every one. They
24:35are only four and four straight up this year and even 500 by the
24:39time they entered the by and now the second half of this
24:41season. That is nowhere close to expectation for San Francisco.
24:45And yet, Joe, they have covered in all four games this year.
24:49They have gone over in all four wins. They have had this
24:52season and if you look at last year after the by for the
24:5549ers in a similar spot of the season, they had dropped three
24:58straight entering the by after a perfect five and oh start.
25:02They came out of the by week 10 also in Florida against the
25:06Jacksonville Jaguars. So at that time, we're not the Jags of a
25:10two-win team this year, but we're in pole position to win
25:13the AFC South and blitzed the Jaguars 34 to three on their way
25:18to winning six consecutive games with a healthy Christian
25:22McCaffrey. I'll talk about how many points I expect the Niners
25:25to put up against this banged up Bucs team and a defense that
25:29will look to contain a San Francisco offense that yes,
25:32Brennan Iuke is not going to be here the remainder of this
25:35season for the 49ers, but elsewhere they are about as
25:39healthy as you might expect. Health is going to be a huge
25:43component. Joe of our next game Sunday afternoon in Dallas, a
25:47great rivalry in the NFC East that lacks a little bit of
25:50luster because of the injury bug for the Cowboys. Dak Prescott,
25:54of course, is going to miss this game and potentially many
25:57others and potentially the remainder of this season for
26:00the Cowboys dealing with a severe hamstring injury, but
26:03CeeDee Lamb expected to play. Micah Parsons expected to be
26:06back for that Dallas defense. That is the second worst
26:10scoring defense in the NFL and yet Joe, it's a seven point
26:14spread in favor of the Eagles on the road at the star. It
26:19should be easy for the Eagles. Philadelphia has resurrected
26:23their season. They have won four consecutive games despite
26:26their head coach Nick Sirianni trying to get in the way of
26:30that again. Joe the theme is it should be easy for the Eagles,
26:35but a touchdown favorite on the road in a divisional duel. Just
26:39how easy might it be on Sunday at the star? Well, yeah, I mean
26:44sure they should right, but they the Eagles should have
26:47covered last week and they found an absolutely ridiculous
26:50way not to do so for backers there, Ben, but they should be
26:55fired up here to get Dallas. Don't forget a team that
26:59embarrassed them in Dallas last year, but that was that was
27:03embarrassing that that beat down, but when you look at what
27:08over their last six, I think in Big D here. So Dallas, however,
27:13just two and six with a minus sixty-six scoring differential
27:17in three home games. Can you believe that it's always with
27:20Dallas was the other way around minus sixty-six scoring
27:24differential in their home games. This feels like the
27:27Saquon Barkley game that he's going to be able to get what he
27:32wants when he wants and how he wants here. So you've got an
27:36Eagles team that has scored ninety-three points in their
27:38last three. The offense starting to figure it out.
27:41That's not good news for a defense in Dallas that can't
27:44stop the run. A four-game win streak for Philadelphia, but
27:49they have not covered twice. They were a touchdown favorite
27:53at least last week against Jacksonville in a game that was
27:56very close out of the by against the Browns. Both of
27:59those games though at home, they absolutely hammered the
28:02Bengals as a short underdog on the road in Cincinnati,
28:06hammered the Giants by twenty-five as well in Metlife.
28:11The Cowboys Joe had a sixteen game regular season home win
28:15streak at home in Dallas entering this season. They are
28:18oh and three both straight up and against the number at home
28:22this year with an average cover margin of minus twenty-two
28:27point seven. That is not good and they are a hefty hefty
28:32underdog in this game. They were a home dog against the
28:35Ravens when the Ravens started oh and two and needed a game
28:38that game only decided by three at the end. It was not even
28:41close. Baltimore had a twenty-eight to three lead in
28:45that game again. It should be comfortable for Philadelphia
28:48and more than likely we're going to see Cooper Rush who
28:51did have a four-game win streak back in 2022 to keep the
28:55Cowboys season afloat for the injured Dak Prescott. I just
28:58don't see it being the case if it is though some serious
29:02questions about the Eagles overall outlook the favorites
29:05in the NFC East and now one of those three best prices to win
29:09the NFC only behind Detroit and San Francisco. We continue to
29:14break down Sunday up next on the early line live right here
29:18on the early line. It's a football Friday. We preview
29:21every game on the week 10 Sunday slate to start off the
29:25second half of this year an incredibly compelling game. If
29:29I do say so myself in the desert between the Arizona
29:33Cardinals and the New York Jets. Again, the Jets did win
29:37short week Thursday night last week. They've had this mini
29:39bye to get healthy to recuperate to get Devante Adams
29:43on the same page with everybody to let Jeff Ulbrich make his
29:47mark on this organization and so the Jets Joe that are still
29:53in a large hole trying to make their way into the postseason
29:56find themselves as a slight road favorite in Arizona
30:00against a Cardinals team. That is the only team currently in
30:04the NFC West that has a winning record riding a three game win
30:08streak. It is basically a pick them. so tell everybody who
30:12wins on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona. I cannot believe I'm
30:17going to say this, but I said it last week and I'll say it
30:19again. The Jets will beat Arizona this week. They will
30:24have the momentum. They saved the season with that win over
30:29the Texans last week then and we said there was no better
30:33spot to buy low in the Jets than that game. It wasn't going
30:36to get any lower. Here's your last chance. They ended up
30:40pulling it up now. They've got extra rest and now we've got a
30:44overvalued Arizona team who's riding a high right II mean two
30:50nail biter wins and congratulations. You beat the
30:53disinterested Bears. I do think the extra time and you know how
30:59this works man. I mean everything is going wrong until
31:01it starts going right and then you got guys like Aaron Rodgers
31:04on extra rest that can finally figure it out. You also have
31:09some elite secondary members of this Jets defense that is going
31:14to make life a little bit miserable there for the wide
31:16outs of Arizona. They're also getting their starting
31:19safeties back from injury. You're not going to run on this
31:24Jets team. So I would look for the Jets to keep it rolling
31:28over. Listen, I like Arizona, but I don't like him in this
31:32spot thinking that they're going to be rolling this team
31:35who's got a much better defense than Arizona does and more
31:39weapons offensively. So it's the Jets at a ridiculous price.
31:44Well, again, it's interesting, right? The New York Jets have no
31:48room of margin for error, right? We talked about
31:51Cincinnati despite the loss last night and falling to four
31:54and six. Could there be some hope? Maybe the Jets were kind
31:58of in a similar boat if they can get to four and six after a
32:02victory on the road this week. Nobody is running away with
32:05wild card opportunities like in the NFC in the other conference
32:09that is the AFC, but we continue to expect the New York Jets to
32:14win football games last week. They did against Houston. They
32:18have not often this year or since 2021 as a favorite. This
32:22will be game 16 as a favorite for the New York Jets in the
32:27last three and a half seasons. They are just eight and seven
32:29straight up six, eight and one against the number, but this is
32:33a couple of cents of distinction on the money line.
32:36This is a Pickham price. This is the third time this year,
32:39Joe. The Arizona Cardinals have played in a game around a
32:42Pickham, a point and a half spread or less on either side,
32:46either a slight favorite or a slight dog. All three have come
32:50in the desert and the Cardinals have won all three. They have
32:54won four of their last five and Chad Ryland, the acquired
32:58kicker midway through this season, who was a fourth round
33:00pick last year by New England has delivered a game winning
33:04field goal as time expires in three of the four, but I kind
33:09of lean with you. I don't love it. If you ask me to pick the
33:12winner, which is basically what we're doing, I would pick the
33:15New York Jets. Aaron Rodgers last week did not have to throw
33:19the football a ton against the Texans and had all three of his
33:22passing scores in that second half, two of them to Garrett
33:26Wilson. Devante Adams also fighting painter for the first
33:30time in a Jets uniform. Joe, do they figure something out in
33:33those final 30 minutes last Thursday night against the
33:36Texans or are we still going to see some struggles offensively?
33:40No, I listen. I offensively, I think they have figured some
33:44things out and the reality has been the more time you give
33:47Devante Adams and Garrett Wilson in this team, the ability to
33:51get on track and you know that was a huge win against them and
33:56now you've given them extra time to prepare, get a little
33:59healthier. To me, this is all about the defenses. There's one
34:03team that has an actual defense and one team that doesn't and I
34:06do think that's going to be the difference for the Jets. They'll
34:09score enough to win this game. The Jets defense will limit
34:12Arizona. Those last two wins for the Cardinals at home and
34:17slight pick them price type of games have both stayed under as
34:22well. We'll show you an NFC South showdown on the other
34:25side of the break or at least in the final half an hour of this
34:28second hour because a football Friday is only a football Friday
34:32when Mike Blewett joins the show. He does that up next here
34:35on the early line. Welcome back to a football Friday live right
34:39here on the early line on Sports Grid as we welcome in
34:42Mike Blewett joining us here for the next three segments to
34:45end out the second hour to get you set for the NFL Week 10
34:49Sunday slate in the second half of this NFL season. Blue as
34:53always, we appreciate the time. Thanks for being here on TEL.
34:58Thanks for having me. Obviously a great game to start
35:00off the week last night. Tremendous fourth quarter by
35:04Lamar, but I think the thing that I'm going to be thinking
35:08about the most is a negative for both teams. Unfortunately,
35:12because as great as the quarterbacks are Cincinnati's
35:15defense collapsed again and Baltimore is just showing signs
35:20of not being able to get stops. They've played to the over nine
35:23times out of their ten games this year and as great as Lamar
35:26is the conversation isn't about how that the Ravens are good or
35:30not good. The conversation is can they win a Super Bowl and
35:34with a Kyle Hamilton injury exposing some of the other
35:37issues that already existed in the defensive backfield. I
35:40think you're going to be wondering about that for the
35:42next 10 weeks. It's gotta be over for Cincinnati here. Don't
35:50you think I mean the outlook is not good. The outlook still
35:53looks really good for Baltimore, but you gotta think
35:56Cincinnati. How many more games can you shoot yourself in the
35:58foot and expect to make the playoffs here? Yeah, the when
36:03you look at the numbers of the game without even if you didn't
36:07watch it and and didn't show you the score and say well,
36:09Cincinnati had to have won right. They had seven more
36:12first downs. Baltimore had eleven penalties. Joe Burrow
36:16had 400 yards and four touchdowns. Jamar Chase went
36:19crazy, but that isn't the case. Timeliness of plays a key
36:25turnover didn't go their way. I'd like to say that there's
36:29hope for Cincinnati because I think we all watch and realize
36:31that they're a good team offensively, but they can't get
36:34any key stops on defense and the only thing that keeps the
36:39door open. I think is that when you look at the schedule, it is
36:43not murderers row. Chargers team is people. The Steelers
36:48are certainly beatable in one of the two games. They have
36:50Dallas with Cooper Rush, Tennessee, Cleveland, Denver.
36:55Those are all beatable teams and frankly, if we look at the
36:58spreads week by week, assuming that they don't totally fall
37:01apart, Cincinnati will be favored in most of those. Yeah,
37:05and if they are an underdog, some of the projected lines
37:08entering week number ten on the road against the Steelers, a
37:12slight point perhaps in favor of Pittsburgh still the
37:16expectation for a road trip in Dallas. That's power ratings
37:19though. We're not exactly sure who will be under center at
37:22that point of the year. If it is Cooper Rush, look at what the
37:25Eagles are laying in Dallas seven points. We'll talk about
37:28the Bengals in just a moment, but let's talk about the
37:31Baltimore Ravens who have not been elite defensively at any
37:35point this season over in nine of ten games this year. Bottom
37:39ten in terms of scoring defense in the NFL, the best rushing
37:42defense in the National Football League, but they're
37:45allowing a ton of passing yards. Joe Burrow threw for
37:48428 last night. They entered the week and the second half
37:53already is the worst passing defense in the NFL and they
37:56might lose Kyle Hamilton for some time. The question about
38:00the Ravens is not a winning football team, not a playoff
38:03football team, perhaps not even divisional championship
38:06contention. It's that final number the Super Bowl and
38:10winning an AFC and turning around the narrative of Lamar
38:13Jackson's lack of success in the postseason given some of
38:17the defensive issues. Is this Ravens team capable of making a
38:22run to an AFC championship? Capable yes, but there's a
38:27reason they won't be favored right now. You and I have
38:30talked a bunch on this show about people still for some
38:35reason overlooking Kansas City's defense to an extent.
38:38The presence of Patrick Holmes distracts people from the type
38:41of team that it is and we're trying to throw dirt on Travis
38:45Kelsey and other players who performed really well last
38:48week. Deandre Hopkins being one of them. The thing about the
38:51Ravens too is that when you look at the rushing defensive
38:56rushing stats, I think they're completely false. It's a
39:01falsehood to say that while the rushing defense is actually
39:04pretty good, they become a pass funnel defense. The most
39:07passing yards, the most passing attempts against them in the
39:11league. It's because teams know how to attack them. The
39:14Steelers have had teams like this in the past as well where
39:17they're excellent defensively. So teams just attack them
39:21running the ball and they rack up a lot of rushing yards.
39:24That's what those rushing stats are all about to me, not the
39:27prowess of the defensive line.
39:32Did Lamar just is he playing his way into a third MVP? I
39:36mean, I guess we have to talk about it. I mean, it's
39:39unbelievable what he did in that second half, but he keeps
39:43doing it. Is there another guy we should consider?
39:49Well, I know Dean Martinez and I had a nice Derrick Henry
39:53discussion, but I think Lamar is just going to put that to
39:57bed. It's crazy. Derrick Henry can run away with it. He would
40:00need to run away with it. He won't be able to with Lamar on
40:03the team. Now, these isolated window games when you have
40:06performances like that going a long way in awards season for
40:11people remembering your signature plays. The tiptoe
40:15run on the sidelines is going to be one of the plays of the
40:18year. He didn't even score and it's one of the plays of the
40:22year. I think I just think the reality for him is
40:26there continue to rack up wins. I think there's a window for
40:30Jared Goff. If the Lions end up fifteen and two and he puts up
40:34numbers problem is for him. I think the balance of the team
40:41impacts the upside of his stats. He could be very
40:45accurate, but he's not going to have many Joe Burrow nights
40:49like Joe had last night. Yeah, right. Yeah. Joe Burrow would
40:52be in the conversation as well if the Bengals weren't sub
40:55five hundred and four and six. Lamar Jackson currently is the
40:59favorite to win his second consecutive MVP award. It would
41:03be his third hardware in the last six NFL seasons. Just
41:07outrageous blue quickly on the Cincinnati Bengals before we
41:10look to the rest of the Sunday slate in week number ten. The
41:14playoff prices are not on the board right now, but since he
41:17did enter the second half as a slight postseason favorite at
41:21minus 114, you talk about the relative ease of schedule in
41:26the final seven games for Cincy, but there is little to
41:29no margin of error. They have to at least win five of seven if
41:34not six of seven. The updated win total for the Bengals is
41:38eight and a half to go over. That would be five victories in
41:41their final seven contests is Cincinnati with the defense
41:46that we saw struggle mightily last night and allow Baltimore
41:49four consecutive touchdowns on its final four offensive
41:52possessions is Cincinnati a team that can make a playoff
41:56run. Playoff run. I don't see it. I have a yeah. I have food
42:04Lou Adorama. I have faith in him to potentially fix some
42:08things. I just think this is a personnel issue. They've lost a
42:12couple players over the years, Jesse Bates and other defensive
42:15leaders that got them to the Super Bowl and had them as a
42:18perennial playoff team, but I just think that outside of Trey
42:22Hendrickson, how many players on that defense are scaring you
42:25they obviously have issues in the defensive backfield Philly
42:30ran all over them. Joe and I watched it last night. They
42:34collapsed second half. There's just too many instances of
42:38them collapsing defensively, especially in the second halves
42:42of games. So yes, I think the door is a jar for them to make
42:46a playoff run because the the bottom six or seven seeds in
42:50the FC. It's going to be pretty jumbled when all these
42:52divisional games start happening. The Steelers are the
42:55extreme example of all the divisional games, but it is
42:58very backloaded in divisional games and I think teams are
43:01going to get knocked off that we might not expect to lose
43:03certain games. The only good thing for Cincinnati is their
43:08two most difficult divisional games have already happened.
43:11They lost both by a combined four points. Joe said this
43:15earlier blue. If the Bengals do miss out on the postseason,
43:19they'll look back on a lot of things the season opening loss
43:21of the New England Patriots and other squandered opportunities.
43:25No doubt, but they might look back on these two divisional
43:27games against the Ravens where they had a lead late and were
43:31unable to seal the deal both in week five at home against
43:36the flock and of course last night on the road in Baltimore
43:39unable to hold off Lamar Jackson despite a two touchdown
43:43lead in that third quarter. Blew it is here with us as we
43:46run through the rest of the Sunday slate around week number
43:50ten of this NFL season. The second half is now underway.
43:53Come back and join us on a football Friday. A football
43:57Friday continues live right here on the early line. Four
44:00teams on the by this week around the National Football
44:03League. That is the Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns,
44:06Seattle Seahawks, and the Las Vegas Raiders. So with one game
44:10on a Thursday, one more on a Monday, twelve games Sunday
44:13slate that starts early. Mike Blew it internationally. Here
44:17is my recommendation. Sleep. It's the weekend. Sleep in.
44:22Don't wake up early for this one and we are sorry to the good
44:25people of Germany because Munich, oh boy, you get to see
44:29the Giants and the Panthers on Sunday. New York is a six and a
44:34half point favorite with a total of forty and a half. The
44:37Panthers have been an underdog in every single game since the
44:41start of last season. Blew the Giants have been an underdog.
44:45Now in, let me do my quick math. Twenty-four consecutive
44:49games. This will be the first time as a favorite and they're
44:53laying near a touchdown. If you had to bet it, what would it
44:56be and you can be quick if you want here. It feels like a hard
45:01under game. It's a little odd to have a total like that when a
45:06team is laying a touchdown. The Panthers are terrible against
45:10the number in the first half. They only cover games if they
45:14win. This is what they've done so far this year. They've only
45:18they've only covered the games that they've won. It's hard for
45:22me to lay a touchdown when I think it's an under game. So I
45:24would recommend under and the Giants first half number laying
45:27three and a half. Well, if you think that game's terrible,
45:33wait until you get a lot of New Orleans taking on Atlanta. So
45:37we're no more Dennis Allen and oftentimes we get the whole,
45:41you know, improvement next game after you fired a coach, but
45:45they handed a reign to an assistant Darren Rizzy, who's
45:49never coached before. So and quite honestly, who is who is
45:54throwing the ball to here? I just I don't see how this is
45:57anything other than a bloodbath here blew it in other
46:01industries. You would call this the dead cat bounce, right?
46:04You everything is done, but maybe you get a little bit of a
46:09some juice. As you said, the fired coach bounce. The only
46:13thing that gives me pause Joe is you and I have watched almost
46:17every Falcons game together this year and their games are
46:20out of control. Like what is happening specialty touchdowns.
46:25There's another defensive touchdown safeties. So these
46:31NFC South games in particular have been some of the wilder
46:34ones, but I just have to go with the gut here. Forget
46:41divisional home dogs. Maybe the Saints fight for the first
46:45half, but as you said, there's no weapons. They have to they
46:49have to make this a Camara game, a successful Camara game
46:53and I just I have the Saints under on the season. I'm not
46:56surprised at all at what has happened here. So yeah, it's
47:00hard hard for me to back the Saints at this point, but the
47:03Falcons have been a funky team in terms of covering games.
47:06Yes, they certainly are the Falcons have won five of the
47:09last six. They're the only team and what we expected to be
47:12maybe one of the weaker divisions. The NFC South that
47:15is above 500. They are more than a $800 favorite. It's like
47:19minus 1000 now in Atlanta to win the NFC South. It's partly
47:23because they are six and three and also just because the rest
47:26of the division is not very good. The Falcons have covered
47:30in their last four wins, including two on the road
47:34against divisional teams, the Bucks and the Panthers and it's
47:37not like the Saints are much better at this moment on a
47:41seven game skid blue. We're not entirely sure who is going to
47:44start for the Titans at quarterback on Sunday trending
47:49toward Will Levis. Okay, the Chargers more than a touchdown
47:53favorite at home in Los Angeles total 38 and a half. LA is five
47:58and three and they have gone under in seven of eight games.
48:01We know the recipe of success for this Bolts team. How do you
48:04see Sunday and so far playing out? Yeah, nine of the last 10
48:08Chargers to the under we have a Tennessee team that is two and
48:13eight against the number in their last 10. We only covered
48:16the two games this year. This is another game. The problem
48:20with the only problem I have with this one. I feel very
48:22confident that the Chargers are going to win it. I don't care
48:24if Will Levis plays or Mason Rudolph plays or if they both
48:27play at the same time. I feel good about the Chargers getting
48:30this win the Chargers play to a lot of unders. We know this and
48:34if you're playing to an under under forty, can you lay a
48:38touchdown. That's where it gets tricky for this game. I
48:43think or sorry under thirty-eight, but my gut here is
48:48that the Chargers win this one, particularly they are good in
48:52the second halves of games. I like JK Dobbins overs again his
48:57his stats is his props have still to me been far too low.
49:04They lean on him very heavily. You can even sometimes find
49:07live lines of the Chargers get off to a slow start. I'd be
49:11looking at the Chargers early and numbers early to get his
49:15rushing yards over so I like the Chargers in this game, but
49:20I think it's more of a second half number than laying a full
49:23touchdown when we don't expect thirty-nine points to be
49:25scored. So is there anything more exciting blew it than the
49:31Mac Jones era about to happen in Jacksonville. I know this is
49:36a good game. What am I doing? I'm in Germany. Nobody wants to
49:43watch that. It's all right. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. That's
49:50Matt Jones in Trevor Lawrence out. Not that it really makes a
49:54darn bit of difference. Are you shocked this number isn't a
49:56little bit bigger? II kind of am here now. Absolutely. I'm
50:01shocked, but it's probably a little bit of the market
50:04telling you that they're not high on the Bears. They've won
50:09some weird games Joe and it's against a soft schedule. It's
50:11the thing about the Bears. Their wins weren't really against any
50:14good teams. So they're catching another break right here. I
50:19think that the pats are the type of team Drake may looks
50:21really good early on in terms of a projection of a starting
50:25quarterback, but we saw what happened last week. They
50:28couldn't get it done against the Titans miraculous plays by
50:32one player, but ultimately the turnovers got to them. I do
50:36like the Bears in this one. I think you keep it simple. I'm
50:40going to lay the six and a half with the Bears, but that's why
50:43I think it's not a bigger spread. Joe. I just think they
50:45haven't really beaten any good teams. Chicago three and oh at
50:49home at Soldier Field a favorite in all three. They
50:52cover the number in all of those. The reason it's seven in
50:56Duvall on Sunday is whenever he was alluding to. We don't
51:00expect Trevor Lawrence Mac Jones gets the start. It was
51:03four and a half earlier in the week. Now the Vikings laying a
51:06full touchdown on the road fluid. I promise better games
51:10on the horizon, including your Steelers in Landover on Sunday.
51:15Now you ask for the good games on the Sunday slate in week
51:18number ten and here they are Mike Blewett joins us once
51:22again to end out this second hour of a football Friday.
51:25Blewett no more terrible towel in your background. I think
51:28that's a mistake, but no more terrible towel behind you, but
51:31still your allegiance with the Steelers and thus your
51:35breakdown never bias. However, Pittsburgh two and a half point
51:38road underdog on the road outside the nation's capital
51:41against the commanders six and two Pittsburgh seven and two
51:45Washington both teams in the opening half of this season so
51:48far exceeding expectations that this game really is
51:52critical to start off the second half total forty-four
51:55and a hook highest over under this year for the Steelers in
51:58any of their nine games. What do we see on Sunday in Landover?
52:03So interestingly as a fan, I was looking towards this
52:09beginning of the season for the Steelers before they're by and
52:12I was like if they can just get to seven and two or six and
52:16three that will at least put them in a position with the
52:20onslaught of games divisional games that they're going to
52:22have coming up put them in a good position. So six and two I
52:25can't really complain about they've only lost the two games
52:28by a few goals as well, but I think what's fascinating about
52:32this matchup is this could conceivably we've had some
52:37really nice wins for both teams, but neither of them have
52:41beat a team that currently has high expectations. The
52:46commanders played the Ravens well, but they lost that
52:49football game. The Steelers really haven't beat anybody
52:52that scares you to date. So this is the first time it's
52:56kind of a prove it game for both teams. I think the number
52:59makes a ton of sense at two and a half and forty-four and a
53:03half. I think that's where you're at. I think the key
53:06here, it's been the key for everybody so far is the Steelers
53:09defensive line, which is lauded rightfully so can they
53:13actually contain Daniels keep him in the pocket. That's going
53:17to be really important because he's been such a playmaker to
53:20that effect and is the Russell Wilson momentum for all the
53:24doubters out there. There's been some positive momentum.
53:28Can that continue and can the Steelers punch it in their
53:31biggest problem as a team right now as far as I'm concerned is
53:35their inability to score touchdowns. They get off to
53:38these slow starts. Boswell's a good kicker, so they rely on
53:41him. But when you have explosive teams that you're
53:43playing against like the commanders, can the Steelers
53:46actually punch the ball in the end zone? I think that's the
53:48thing I'm fascinated the most about the weakness of the
53:51commanders. I think most would agree is their defensive
53:53backfield. They have now added Marshawn Lattimore. How quickly
53:57does he get infused into the defense to stop opposing
54:00offenses? I'm really I think this is the best game really on
54:05the slate. I'm clearly heavily invested in it, but I would I
54:09would lean to the commanders in this one home front Steelers
54:14still have not shown the ability to punch the ball in
54:16the end zone enough for me to take them on the road. Yeah, I
54:21like the over to believe it or not they're blow it. I think
54:24points are coming with these two teams. I also think points
54:28are coming at least from one team Sunday night with the
54:31Texans and Detroit. I think this is a great prop game if
54:36you want to dive into it, but you still have a home team
54:40leading their division getting over a field goal. But why are
54:45we stepping in front of the Detroit train right now? Are we
54:49hell? No, I'm not doing that. Yeah. I'm Ross St. Brown at 65
54:53and a half yards. Sam Laporte at 32 and a half yards. I know
54:57we talked earlier about how golf does not necessarily have
55:00these explosive games, but if you're attacking the Texans
55:04Right now, wouldn't you try to do it through the air? I think
55:06that's the way they come out. That's the best thing about
55:10Detroit is that they can beat you in so many different ways.
55:13Golf is twenty-fifth in the league in passing attempts.
55:16We're talking about that earlier. He doesn't have the
55:18ability to put that up, but when he has done it when he has
55:21put the ball in the air, it's been very accurate and they've
55:23been explosive when they need to be so I'm with you Joe. I
55:27think you look at some props and I'm not stepping in front of
55:29Detroit. It's okay to bet into teams until they lose and I
55:32think Detroit is one of those Detroit has covered in all
55:36seven victories this year. Forty-four and eighteen against
55:38the number with Dan Campbell as the Lions head coach blew it
55:42quickly here. Let's go to Sunday in Tampa in the last 40
55:46seconds of this segment. Christian McCaffrey makes his
55:49season debut in the Niners are now a six and a half point
55:52favorite against the shorthanded Bucks will San
55:54Francisco roll out of the by.
55:59It's a lot of points to be laying on the road, so I'm
56:02going to take the points here. I don't like to say what team
56:05wins the other team covers. I think the Niners are the better
56:09football team when everybody's healthy, but we kind of have to
56:12see somebody play first before we declare them healthy right.
56:15I'll take the points here. Hold my nose to do it. I like the
56:18Niners to win the football game. Tamra is three and three
56:21against the number as a dog this season. Mike Blewett. We
56:25appreciate the time have a lovely weekend. Thank you for
56:27being here on a football Friday. We'll see you Sunday
56:30on NFL football in game live game day hour number three of
56:34the early line. It's up next.
