Every game day you show up for your team. Now it's your time. We go, we go, we go, we go. Ask your prescriber about Wigovie, some Maglatide Injection 2.4 milligrams, a GLP 1. Call 1-8-3-3-4 Wigovie or visit Wigovie.com to view the Medication Guide and to learn more about Wigovie. Why wait? We go, we go. We go, we go, we go, we go.
We go, we go, we go, we go. They've done it again. The defense of Seattle has done it again. Great May is thrown its third interception in this quarter. Unbelievable ending to the game. Great call there from Kevin Harlan of Westwood One, rivaling the call of Mike Tureko on NBC and one way to welcome you into money moves today on a Thursday. Stormy Bonnetoni, Jonathan Fontobo with you live as always in downtown Las Vegas, circa resort in Casino, but that is one way to start the NFL season, JVT. Yeah, it was a kind of boring game, which kind of stunk for the most part, you know, but it was the first game. So everybody I think just like me was watching over every single second of it. But we'll get into the details. Poor performance from Drake May for the most part, you know, kind of a similar type of game from what we saw on the Super Bowl, at least when it came to the Seahawks defense versus this Patriots offense,
and you do wonder. We've talked a lot about the Patriots in terms of how they match up with teams, and especially the ease of their schedule last year, and the numbers would Drake May against teams of winning records, and you just kind of wonder if this is going to be the start of what could be a pretty rough year for the New England Patriots. 13 10 the final if you later took the three, you get a push if you took three and a half. However, with New England, ultimately do get a dub there. It was a never in question under, especially after Sam Darnold went down early. We will get into as you like to say, the nitty of the and the gritty of it coming up in just a few minutes, but like we always do, let's set the table for everything we have to come over the course of the next two hours big show on deck. It's time for the top headlines and topics of the day. This is the rundown. Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, JVT. So as you know, Thursdays are kind of my Friday in studio. So we will be laying out all of my official picks and bets for the weekend in College Football and NFL. We will discuss and cement our circa millions selections for the ATS contest here at circa and also just plenty of news
to hit in the National Football League this morning. Yeah, that affects the contest. So obviously post the numbers being released. You have big news coming out from Las Vegas Raiders that has survivor and a million implications as well. There are a couple of numbers that have moved that are different. So we have to figure out what we're going to do with those two. I mean, there's a lot to discuss and whittle down over the next couple of days and you're going to be gone. So we have to get it done here today. Of course, you're going to be out of here. Another report we just saw within the last 10 minutes or so to a jungle by Loa, not feeling great at practice by all accounts. So we'll hit on that in a little bit. It's also a Thursday looking at some college football teams who lost or really struggled last week and are looking to bounce back. One game that you like is one I may or may not be on the call for this week. Yes. Well, we have to talk about it at the very least when it comes to a team coming off of a loss. And look, let's be honest, the team that one of the teams that you're covering this weekend, Tennessee, we still don't know that much about. And he flies on the phase on Brandon was very good in that first matchup against the play last week. Thank you. Against Furman, don't think I'm writing home about that though.
So we'll find out when you take on a powerful opponent, what that looks like. And maybe we're doing a little too much with Tennessee. But I'm really high on the Tennessee team as you know, writing in the SEC guys. So I think you have a really good game even though it's a double digit spread. We got a great line from running back to John Bishop earlier this morning saying that he was unfazed. That's the nickname that he's given phase on Brandon now. Pretty smooth. But we are starting the day from the land down under because guess we had Wednesday night football yesterday. We got Thursday night football tonight out there in Melbourne, Australia. 49ers and Rams going head to head. We're sitting on that three and a half still right now with the super bowl favorite Rams, your, your on the favorite side, total 48 and half. You sparked something in my mind. So I just want you to pass this along. Who's your play by play guy? Bob was shoes in. Tell Bob was shoes in that if there is a situation in which phase on brand, yeah, phase on branded, I was going to flip that every single time. Oh, I trust me. I've already been thinking about it. That I'm going to mess it up sometime in the broadcast. It's taking everything in my being to like write it out. This is a very, very, very, probably not going to happen.
But if he scores a walkoff touchdown for them to win that game, said, phasers to stun is a pretty good one as well. I'll pass that. I'll pass that nugget along. I'll pass that nugget along. OK, let's get back to what we saw last night. Again, 13, 10, the final with Seattle on top. Seahawks did have to overcome a 10, nothing deficit in the third quarter to get there with that now. Defending Super Bowl champs, improve to 22 and five straight up in season openers since 2000. The Super Bowl hangover element for the Super Bowl loser. That trend comes to fruition for New England here as well. But the injury element moving forward for Seattle, despite winning the game, is the biggest question. Sam Darnold goes down on that very first drive, takes a hard sack on, I believe it was the seventh play of the game, did not return. Mike McDonald did say after the game they got great news back on that initial CT scan, there were not any fractures in his hip. But an MRI today will determine the severity of it long term and moving forward. Yeah, I mean, that was a worry, right? It was when you see somebody go down in that fashion. And it's initially I thought, maybe
just to be falling the knee that hard. And then you realize it's hip and then you realize, OK, well, if you're falling on a knee and that should go and straight up like that, there could be a pretty serious injury. So that's really good for him. The fact that he's not going to miss maybe a ton of time. But we'll see as we will get into in about 20 minutes, teams lie. And so maybe there is something here that is a little bit more serious than the Seahawks are letting on. But this is such, I think, a big win for Seattle, not only because you're talking about 1-0, overcoming what you did, you have the injury to Sam Darnold to start it. You have Tai Okita that was not out there. You have Nick Immanwari who ended up not playing. We talked about the other injuries that were already taking place in the secondary. And yet for the most part, that defensive everything could, to keep them in that game and just keep them within distance so that if they come back, was going to happen, they could execute it. And they did. This was a really strong performance from McDonald's defense. And it's a wildly impressive one because you could lose that game. You could have given up a ton of big plays. You could have done so much. And on the other side, you can talk about AJ Brown getting out pretty early in that game. You were not dealing with the attrition that Seattle dealt with throughout that contest. Yet similar situation on the reporting coming out of the AJ Brown
injury for anyone who missed it. Herd his ankle early in the third quarter defender came down awkwardly on his leg in Rapa Port of NFL Network saying this morning it's believed to be a high ankle sprain. Initial X-rays were negative for a fracture. So he too will have an MRI later on today. But to your point about the secondary and all the questions that we had coming into the game for Seattle about that area, how if you are our Drake May and Josh McDaniels for the way that you're trying to set the tone for this game, how are you not testing them right away in the game? Like there was none of that. There was a, I mean, so early on, they actually, so it's one of those things where I was right, but it didn't actually happen. Early on, if you remember, they went big, they only had two wider receivers left side and they ran a little play action and he was looking down field and he ultimately couldn't get it. And it was pointed out by a lot of smart film people, smarter than I, then Salt Lake had a really good breakdown of this after the game where they went back to that play in the fourth quarter and they tried to take another shot. And that's the one he threw the first one that he was targeting, Dubs down the left side line. He just kind of floated it inside. Yeah, very bad. The big drop later in the fourth quarter, like it was ridiculous.
So they tried to like take some shots. The first one wasn't there, so he came off of it and scrambled on it. They tried to take a shot there, but he throws a bad pass. I just think Seattle was awesome. And it was pointed out too by others. Again, Salt Lake had a great breakdown of this one as well. That second pick, you could argue, was a brilliant play by the Seattle Seahawks, not so much a bad throw by Drake May. That was kind of an intermediate shot. I just thought that this Seahawks defense storming was so good yesterday. They were taken away almost everything and you look at it to your point, you could look at this and go, average of the target is just 6.5 yards downfield. How many times were we watching? I was watching it with Adam Hill who covers Las Vegas Raiders. How many times were you watching? I'm like a second and 15 and they're just like, let's just throw it out to the flat. And then on a third and 15, let's just throw it out to the flat. He was so uncomfortable because nothing was available downfield. He was getting pressured. It was a terrible performance again from this offensive line at times. I thought that this was, look, Drake May was not good and that last interception was inexcusable. He was totally on him. Given the situation too. That is a 100% you throw that ball away. You can even take a sack in that moment
and it would be fine. You're infield going. Correct. The one thing you don't do is that and as it's been pointed out, given the route concepts on that play, that guy was not expecting the ball in nine out of 10 situations, maybe even 10 out of 10 times. So it was a bad performance for May, but I think you've got to get a ton of credit to the Seahawks defense. They were lights out yesterday. I was really, really impressed. In complete agreement, their final stat line for Drake May 23, 3,378 yards in a score, three interceptions, all of which came in that fourth quarter, including the one that we were just talking about from the 16 yard line with 26 seconds to go, just that cannot have it situation that goes that way. All three sacks also coming in that fourth quarter. So bad. But you're not even down four. No. You're down three. Drake May by the way, has now had two games with multiple interceptions since the start of last season. Both of them against the Seattle Seahawks, which again, just a testament to what that side of the ball for Seattle has been and they were historically good defense a year ago. We'll see what they end up becoming throughout the course of the regular season. But considering some of the issues we were discussing about that side of the ball
coming into the game, they answered every possible question, drew Lock, meanwhile on the other side. Post game interview to the stars, certainly 16 to 22, 73%, only 178 yards, one touchdown, no picks though, so played clean. I didn't realize this. First quarterback to lead his team and passing off the bench in a double digit comeback since Zach Wilson took out for, replaced excuse me, Aaron Rogers in the Jets 2023, sees an opener against the bills. Pete Blackburn, who's big like NHL reporter and personality, he tweeted out a picture of Rogers right running out with the flag instantly after Sam Darnold went down and it was like, this is exactly the same. I was like, that's so wrong. And then historically, that is exactly what ended up happening. Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know, Lock was particularly impressive either, but you get it done. A wins a win. A wins a win. But that is a bad loss for New England. Fortunately, though, for Seattle, with the questions about Sam Darnold, the tarot's own a coming up for week two. Potentially, fortunately, potentially, fortunately. Yeah, what are you trying to say about my guy? We got some questions about that for millions, a little bit later.
Well, we do, yeah, but that's because they're so good. You're going to take a money line? They're so good. I mean, I think there's a possibility. You, I know you are rooting for that heart to be the case. Nate Tyson, who does a great job for Yahoo, he was asking on Twitter, like give us a week one kind of wild prediction that we can talk about during our team or our week one previews. And I submitted Cardinals Drop 30 and beat the chargers. So, oh, that's a fun, bold take. Yeah, it would be sick to happen for a survivor standpoint, because how many people in the field would you knock out if that ended up being the case? I'm telling you, man, we got to have a real conversation about this. Also, we cannot finish the recap of this game without saying, how about Eli Rardon 65 to one first touchdown score? Apparently, Poly Howard gave that out on follow the money yesterday. So, Kudos to any of you if you followed him on that one. Nice little dub to kick off the season. Meanwhile, I already had my first prop lost by a half a yard. Ramon Dre Stevenson, I had the over 12 and a half for the longest brush. It was a tough day for all day. But yeah, yeah, yeah, they got a refund, right? So, why not make a cup of that? Yeah, they got that. Hit and miss for the Sam Darnold props.
Apparently, some books gave the injury forgiveness. Some did not. AJ Brown, no forgiveness for you. Every game day, you show up for your team. Now it's your time.

We got a big one coming up tonight from the land down under. Have you ever had a Vegemite? Would you like a Vegemite sandwich? I mean, I'm always going to try. I think we've talked about this. I will always try everything. So no, I've never had Vegemite, but yes, I would try it. I believe it's like salty, right? Extremely salty. So you've tried it? I have not. But from what I understand, the big thing is not to use too much because Americans, we think of it like a jelly or something. It was spread all over the toast, but it's supposed to be very subtle because it's a strong flavor. It's more of like, since the food spread made from leftover brewers, yeast extract, salt, malt extract, and vegetable extract. I've heard it described as kind of like a chicken bullion type taste. Savory Umami flavor, meaty flavor. Okay. And intense little goes a long way. So don't just flop it on the bread. All of that say, bro, have you tried this? I'm sure there are some San Francisco 49ers players who have tasted it or media at least.
Rams, they didn't have any time to do that based on the way that they decided to track this thing. Last night, evidently, they arrived in Melvin at 9.45 pm. According to ESPN's Peter Schreger, they all slept on the flight over and sleeping in the hotel for the rest of the night. Did you send me the thing about the plane? Or was that somebody else? Someone else. Apparently that the plane had like all of those bags. Oh, no Wi-Fi. I did send you that. Yeah, but no Wi-Fi. Okay. Yes. Sorry, I forgot I sent you that. Yeah. But I did. Interesting. But yeah, I mean, you don't, you shouldn't need it. Just go to bed. Right. Just go to bed. You need it at 16 hours, right? Sure. But talk to your friends, play cards. That's what you do the whole day. That's insane. It's the lay beds are not bad, to be honest with you. Sure. Or whatever. And also, I know they said no Wi-Fi, but that doesn't necessarily mean no like TVs. Well, right. You probably have a bunch of gameplay movies, and all that stuff. You're probably having movies and all that stuff. You're probably moving movies and all that stuff. Yeah, sure. You're bringing some sorts of tablets, video games, whatever. They were just fine. And then the sleep, a good chunk of it as much as humanly possible. Then they get to the hotel in Australia.
They sleep some more. And as Shreger said, this isn't some trial and error approach. They've sent 15 staffers over the course of the last two years that have tracked their bodies and sleep rhythms. This was deemed the approach no turning back now. And as we have discussed a number of times here this week, whichever team ends up winning, we're going to say you're genius way to go. Well, I'm not like that. I actually have opinions and sticks to them. I think the Rams are doing it the proper way, but we'll see what happens. I mean, again, I don't, you can't even really tell if the fatigue manifests on the field to be all right. And when we're watching later today, you're not going to be able to tell if that's going to be the case. Unless the 49ers of the Rams are quite literally sitting there like, like in the middle of a play or falling asleep on the field, there's no way to tell who's fatigued from what reason or whatever. So that's something I do before every game. Personally, that my husband says is my nervous tick. I can't stop yawning. No matter what time of day my game is, I can't stop not yawning until the game starts. Yeah. That's probably it. It's really weird. You're a bundle of nerves. But either way, I think the Rams handle the properly. We'll see. It's all just comes from like reading and listening to smarter people than me, but we have a game today.
And that's all that matters. Two sides of this thing from a trend standpoint, Sean McVeigh is three, you know, in international games. The last time they went to London, granted it is less time on a plane, obviously, that it is to Australia. They did the whole day before thing and it worked out pretty well for them. Meanwhile, over the course of the NFL's history playing international games, 17 to 9, ATS, actually, for the team that arrives earlier from a number standpoint. 49ers are getting three and a half points. We've stood pretty still at that number for a while now, total 48 and a half, although it did move off of the opener that was two and a half in favor of Los Angeles Rams here. Indry wise, I put this under injuries in our rundown, but Aaron Donald out just because he's older now and just resigned with the team hasn't done enough 11 on 11 to feel comfortable getting out there for week one with all of the travel that is layered into that. Miles Garrett, however, will play despite the knee swelling, Pukka, Nukuah. We know he's been dealing with on and off field stuff, but he is going to be in for this game from the 49ers standpoint where he Morris said earlier this week, Nick Bosa is going to play unclear exactly what that's going to look like from a snap count perspective.
Same thing with George Kiddell. All the expectations are that he's ready to go from the latest reporting, but will he be on a pitch count potentially maybe from a prop standpoint? Are there Jake Tongus elements that you could look at or just Kiddell unders maybe? I don't know. And defensive tackle James Thompson returned to practice yesterday, which I think just given the D-line injuries they had this week, most notably, of course, Alfred Collins good to have a little depth back. Yeah. So did you play that four has gone here at Circa? Did you play it? I did. I didn't put it as a best bet at the end of the show, but I did just I put a sprinkle on plus four and I played them in a teaser as well, paired it up with the jets. How are you feeling? I feel good. I feel like these. Oh, wait, so you teased the jets up and the 49ers up? Yes. To 10, I would say. So 49ers to 10, yes, and jets to 7 and a half. Okay. Interesting. Why is that interesting? Well, I mean, just I think that's a interesting partly. Usually you don't, or partly, excuse me, I guess taking it as a partly. Teaser, you know, just generally don't see it teased up to 10. That's all. Yeah, I know. I break the rules. You know this. I'm not saying it's not a wrecked relax.
Storm, Anthony. I'm saying you spent enough shows with me last year to know that I am not fully with the Wong all the time. I get a little wonky when I feel like it. And what often the not last year did play out for me. So you might think this, but it is not a criticism. I just find it interesting. I don't know. It feels judging. Everything does to you. Did you end up playing anything? I don't have anything yet. I mean, I think I'll be 49ers or not. I don't really feel too much about this one. I'm going to be really interested. We'll talk about. I mean, we don't have a lot of time. We don't have a lot of time. We don't have much time. We don't have a lot of time. We don't have time for stuff to do today, but I thought one of the interesting angles from a prop standpoint was looking at some of the rushing props for your team. I think looking at some of the film stuff and the breakdowns that are out there, one of the things that I think is going to be pretty interesting is the way the Rams approach it from a defensive standpoint. Kyle Shanahan is a very good offensive mind, but a big key about their offense is going after opposing linebackers and putting him out in space and getting him in conflict as smart football people would say. And one of the ways to counteract that is maybe not put linebackers on the field. you're playing lighter boxes if you're the Rams you're putting a lot of DBs out there as opposed to playing some base packages and if you're doing that
You're daring the 49ers to just say not just run the ball Like we're not gonna give you the opportunity to hit some of these play action passes or whatnot We're going to play a little bit lighter We're gonna force the game plan essentially and try to get you to maybe come after some lighter boxes Both in terms of personnel and in terms of actual weight right just having a lot of DBs out there And so I think that might be part of it and so if it is then that means a pretty good running day or at least in terms of attempts and or rushing yards For your San Francisco 49ers. So I would assume that that is maybe part of the game plan getting rid of one of the things that Chanahan likes to go after a bit Enforcing to play a little bit with their left hand as opposed to the right meanwhile I actually bet some receiving props today Well one of which which I think is a pretty obvious one and I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being one of the more Popular props on the day, but the receptions number for Christian McCaffrey was only said at four and a half and it wasn't really Juiced minus 112 minus 113 around town what I was looking at for a guy who had five or more receptions and 15 and 19 games last year Given some of the wide receiver depth issues we have
Brock party just trying to get the ball out quickly We talk all the time about Christian McCaffrey being the straw that stirs the drink for this offense and getting some of those What a high what's the word I'm looking for High percentage That early for rock party I think is good and and Christian McCaffrey will be a key piece of that So again at the juice and at the number because this is something that creeped up throughout the course of the year being set at five and a half and six and a half To get a four and a half right off the jump here and the way that he started last year I think he had like eight or nine receptions the first game of the season a year ago against Seattle and an division game So let's keep that rolling here and then also Dejan Stribling I get that he was the most popular guy this preseason and was getting all of the flowers and all of the love and We've seen the offensive Ricky of the year number for him in the futures market come down significantly, but he Was a real bright spot and I think they're going to utilize that especially given the fact that you are down Ricky Pierce all for the entirety of the season Christian Kirk son injured reserve Mike Evans dealing with some softish tissue stuff
What what do we know about Debo Samuel in 2026? I'm not sure I think that he could be another security blanket type player potentially Yeah, I think the other thing that's worth looking at here and maybe this is a little hardcore I think later this season will try to start doing a little bit more of these defensive props because I do think they're fun But your boy Nick Bosa and what he's going to do off the injury report and available What's one of the things we've talked about a lot with this serams team is the fact that you can probably get after Matthew Stafford the fact that they were running so well and not like literally running the football But running well in terms of these pressure numbers the fact that he wasn't pressured as much the fact that the pressures did not turn into Sax at a very high rate and so when you have a weakness that is kind of a long the offense of line Attack all one of the things you could see here is Bosa who is it seems healthy Available to go out and get one of those sacks one plus sack is Once plus 163 over at draft Kings and I think that's going to be part of it But what's going to be interesting is if you look at some of the numbers The Rams are so good at running the ball and especially on early downs last year So they were able to get in a lot of these third and shorts But they weren't really an efficient team on third down
So if you can defend the run better you can get them into some of these third downs Then you can get Nick Bosa going and I think that's going to be a pretty big key So Bosa now plus one 60 to have a sack today. I don't think it's the worst thing the world so we bring this back The defensive props we're gonna make that right We did it a cow bed at the beginning of the year We had some success and then we just got lost in the sauce. Yeah, and then eventually stop But I think so I think it'll be a ton of fun. I'm here for it And I'll try to keep you honest as much as I can when we go through the props every week because thinking of honesty stormy Something clink kubiac doesn't seem to believe in we get off the air yesterday And we get the big news about mr. Brock Bauer's how does that impact things for Las Vegas in week one potentially the first couple of weeks We will discuss that and some other really interesting updates that we've had this morning as well in the national footballing Sig Brown

Interesting, I don't know. I don't understand the tact here. I don't I don't get it look From what I understand the Raiders are upset because people are calling them liars your liars they lied Well like I just said the surgery happened on Tuesday. Yes this question was asked on Wednesday. Correct you know the answer They're liars he he outright lied there about Brock Bauer's so here's the thing first off just from like a media standpoint Again, I don't understand this only to coordinate then with Adam's shifter to release the news an hour afterward is annoying But let's remove that because we don't really care about that from our perspective I've been telling you I just I think this Raider team stinks I think they're going to be really bad. I think that staff potentially thinks that they've looked around and going Holy smokes like yeah, we're kind of bad here And now your best player bar none is now not available for you here in this game I do not think the dolphins are clearly better or seem to the Raiders are clearly better than the dolphins on paper You and I were talking about that off the year yesterday so media members have stated it well clearly they're better than them Don't think that's the case. Interesting word choice. Yeah So what else would find interesting is we didn't really move that much
I mean circa with three and a half the even money to the favorite side to Vegas minus three minus one 20 total went from 41 to 40 Around the time the news came out. I think it's pretty much where we're at market wide right now I mean no smattering of juiced threes with the total that's been dipped a little bit here to like 39 and a half 40 depending on where you look I still I mean if you're getting three Contest-wise for sure a million I would say we move a lot closer to using the dolphins at three to half It's going to be a popular pick but I don't really care at this point. You made the great point. It's week one like let's Let's start to get some points on the board before we worry about having to match up with the masses So I think we're kind of moving toward all right We're adding the dolphins from a contest perspective for sure What I find interesting is the survivor angle of all this because as of yesterday I put this in the rundown So this was yesterday at 4.41 pm when I was sitting out there sitting on some jameson and doing some work at a local watering hole Chargers were projected over at survivor atlas.com which by the way survivor atlas.com does a great job Go check them out in terms of projections and all sorts of stuff you have tools. You can map it out. It's pretty cool
34.7% Entries on the chargers was the projection 31.5% on the jags 8.4% on the Raiders 7.1% on the lions and 6.3% on the Steelers now I'm going to tie something else in here. We get the news today the two at Tonga, Veloah Goes down to the ground with something and we know that he's been dealing with a back issue Do you have more details on it? Here's the report from Josh Kendall Falcons beat reporter of the athletic quote He appeared to suffer discomfort during during individual throwing drills Briefly went to the ground and then referenced of course the back spasms issues that he had at the start of camp So I'm in a survivor pool with a couple of survivor pools one of them. I've got three I am curious and I think in there for sure I am using one of those on the Pittsburgh Steelers. We have a silver bullet only one I Think we've got to consider changing from Jacksonville to Pittsburgh And now what is after with the Raiders is obviously the Raiders people are going to jump off ship now You do wonder how many people put their picks in early
How many you know what I mean before the new the news came down. Who knows right? There's always somebody that does it But the reason why I say this is because I think a lot of people like that 8.4% and projected 8.4% I think they're going to gravitate in two directions They're going to either gravitate toward two of the favorites, which are the chargers or the Jags Maybe the Lions or they're going to go to the Steelers But I think the Steelers are going to be one of these teams now with the two news that becomes a lot more interesting And do you want to be I mean potentially stormy So over 60% of the field on two teams Jacksonville in Los Angeles for week one. That's crazy So I I do have multiple entries. Yeah, correct. So you have you can think about this in a bunch of different ways So I think Regardless I will still keep one of my entries on Jacksonville because I am stop because I am I wouldn't even say hyper confident in the Jaguars But I am very anti-Clavelin and what they have to come out with While also being pro-guessed Jacksonville That said You already know that I do like Pittsburgh this week. I liked that before the news came down
So I'm not completely against it But it does surprise me to an extent that you went this direction given how much Distain you have for Aaron Rogers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, I mean my MVP is potentially not going to play though. So To a tongue of my lower. We'll see we have to confirm whether two is not going to be out there Right now it just seems like to be one thing But in the backs bothering him to the point where during practice where he's throwing against air he's feeling it That's not really great even if he plays and I'll say According to some of these other reports after that incident happened he was not seen throwing in the media portion of practice anymore So food for thought from that standpoint three and a half are still what you're seeing correct? Yes, let me double check and by the way You do wonder because this is the other survivor angle here No, it's up to four. Oh, it is for multiple spots now including here at circa. We're talking about Pittsburgh in that regard Does Jacksonville eventually replace the chargers and will Jacksonville be the most selected team for survivor? I don't think so. I understand so the line is moving You think so really because people don't want to be on the number one pick
No, I don't think it's because they don't want to be on the number one pick I think they end up inevitably being the number one pick because they didn't want to be on it I think more I think there's more people Like me in the world who actually think that the cardinals are like plucky or than you expect We'll talk more about that game a little bit later on while we're on the subject of injuries However, giants head coach John Harbaugh told reporters yesterday to stop asking about injuries or who's in the lineup Following a question about Malik neighbors take a listen There's no I just say this I just say this right now We put stopped all these questions because I'm not gonna tell you who's playing in the game I'm not gonna tell you who's starting I'm not gonna tell you what package we have in I'm not gonna tell you what plays we're running I'm not gonna tell you any of that okay, so we can make it great and have a great press conference Or we can make it uncomfortable But I'm not gonna tell you because when you know the Cowboys know or every other team we play knows and that's not the competitive interest of our football teams That makes sense so I think you can respect that
I read an article recently that one of the most like disrespectful things you can actually say as a person is does that make sense because you Be a little everyone in the room. So just interesting comment there worth noting neighbors Was a full-per-discipline at practice yesterday and Harbaugh did say he thinks he's ready to go He's he these guys suck dude like all of them. It's seriously. It's first off. It's media's job They're gonna ask questions. I would follow up with another injury question almost immediately because this is what you're supposed to do here in these settings And like you said, it's belittling for no reason whatsoever By the way, John like you just got fired. How about you worry about getting your stuff in order here with this new team I understand you probably have a confidence because NFL coaches just get re-tread jobs all the time But you're not exactly coming from a position to strengthen this point right now They just it's ridiculous to go in that direction. I hope they lose this game also because I'm like how As I said does that make you like cowboys with the feel goal even more? I mean, he's kind of I don't know man. We'll see how this works I know a lot of people just blindly trust that harbaugh is gonna be able to get this thing turned around He looked like a jackass in the opening video as we saw had no But I love a speech you are the New York giant nobody really bought into it now you get this
I mean, come on now. I don't know That's irritating so that's that's one of those games though that the more and more I've thought about it the more I do question the opinion because I am very pro Dallas cowboys But now with the Tyler Smith injury and Tyler Geiten already dealing with some of the issues that he has been slight concern there. I do have a lot of belief in the turn around for the defense But we haven't seen it yet Conversely you have a giants team that is healthy now, right? And so if there were an opportunity to buy in on them at home It would probably be then although they did lose so many close games Recently, maybe that does make you that much more questionable about it that they can keep it close I don't know there's a there's just more questions and answers for me So maybe to use your and Adam Burke's term it could be a fact finding mission more than anything else One other quick injury update for you Saints and lions touchdown spread with that one with Detroit favored by seven at home Cam Jordan defensive end for the Saints will be out for the season opener Yeah, that sucks But I think we're still we're still feeling pretty good about our boys here
Taking the seven yes for the contest correct. Yeah, that's not something that's not a bet that I made is that about you made? Yeah, okay. Yeah, that I did you paid attention to our best best of the end of the program I have to forgive me you've got like 20 I can only keep up with so many excited. It's week one I know trust me when we get to the end of the show today. I added a lot. I can't wait We have our our morning show comes back this week. Oh, yeah, we need to tell people We need to tell you guys a little bit more about that very excited for Sundays this year four more hours of this what could be better? Every game day you show up for your team now. It's your time We Ask your prescriber about we gov some magnified injection 2.4 milligrams a GLP one call 183 3 4 we gov or visit we gov.com to view the Medication Guide and to learn more about we gov why wait
Okay, Mr. Fluvers me oh once if I'm the best cat mama in the whole wide world Okay, me oh once if it's Shiba time and I'm the best I knew you loved me go from ignored to adored with Shiba grilled It's protein rich and made with real chicken or seafood tapped to buy now or find at your favorite retailer You're watching money moves you're on Fisem these force very network Back here money moves stormy bonnet Tony Jonathan von cobalt with you for anyone just joining us We were talking before the break about our Sunday programming coming back now that it is officially week one Obviously we got the football season underway yesterday with Patriots Seahawks. What an ending that was we got more of it tonight in Australia But for the Sunday slate you will have your usual dose of Mitch and Polly in the early morning that final hour Though leading up to kick off countdown to kick off with stormy and JVT and we'll be on with you for three hours as well during the early window
Those games yep looking forward to it. That'll be fun. I like doing the live betting Sunday shows I mean we're gonna watch them anyway, so just doing this kind of talking some stuff out some live betting angles Some fun too during and halftime shows will have some pretty interesting guests I think Steve Fesik will be part of it dr. Chow be with us too. So that'll be a lot of fun That'll be great because you think about how many injuries we have already seen here just through one game of the NFL season You know there's gonna be a lot of those things popping up and to get the instant reaction from dr Chow or some of these guys that are coming back from injuries that are playing in the early window What in the afternoon window rather what that might look like for them and then having physics analysis of Okay, we're at halftime right now. What's the bet coming out of half? I think it'll be very helpful for somebody that has established himself the way that he has in the history. I look forward to arguing with Fesik I think that will be fun. Yeah, that will be more fun for you than for me. That was brought up in the meeting It was brought up as like as our boss Steve Cohen said don't worry, you know JVT is not one to not have an opinion So that's very true. Also while we're on that though We got some new programming that's coming up tonight from five to eight pacific eight to eleven eastern the debut of the Thursday night
Betcast with Keeshawn Johnson joining Patrick maher that will be in place of eastern prime time each and every Thursday though But talking through Thursday night football getting the the perspective of somebody like Keeshawn Johnson should be a lot of fun each and every week Yes, it will I will be tuning into that a little bit later. So And I think maher's going to do a good job of Keeping everything on the rails and a key shot can be an opinion for sure I wanted to point this out Brad Sorry for anyone who doesn't know Patrick or hasn't seen his shows or anything like that He he like loves going off the rails. I don't think that there are any rails that he stays on But it's in the best way you're gonna have a blast. I think dust and sweetles and came to be Brad to a twitter that is this is the other aspect. There's so many angles of ripple effects from the Thursday night or Wednesday night game Sorry As he says what is the Donald a Donald injury due to survivor future value if he's out for longer than expected Obviously on the sea hawks sea hawks week two were potentially going to be an option on the road against Arizona You would brought that that came up, but that's potential survivor option for you next week now. Maybe not maybe it is quite weaker in terms of its value there
On the schedule as well You do have home game against Arizona again this week nine you're on the road against the Raiders in week 10 It's a little bit further down the board and then sorry stormy But if you get this far who knows what they look like at that point But week 17 on the road against Carolina could be an option for you to if you save it for that long So and the home game against the Giants we should point out to like what if the Giants are absolute garbage So there were some really some solid opportunities for you down the stretch if that was going to be the case They're also one of the Christmas teams. They do play the Rams on Christmas Well, hopefully we'll we'll get one of the insiders that comes out and gives us a little more intel the X-rays less or not the X-rays The CT scan last night came back positive for Sam Donald no fractures ultimately in the hip But the MRI today will determine the severity of that okay It is Thursday and so something that we are going to be doing every Thursday throughout the course of the college football season is Our thirsty Thursday Teams that are thirsty for a dub I have to point this out and I'm going to try to find something alcohol related for college football every single Thursday Today we should point out You see this from FIU how about this
Dollar beers at home games for students all the way up into the end of the third quarter as Supplies last I didn't see that but clearly you and I are like minded because like I texted you and our producer Just an Emory earlier today Kentucky's will Stein talking about the game against Alabama Said not only do we want to try to make this the quote loudest game in the history of the world But sneak a flask and do whatever you have to do so a little bit of fun there on our thirsty Thursday But let's get to it. So this is all about teams that are either coming off the loss multiple losses poor performances that need a bounce back The first game on our list is a team that you were very high on coming into the season in the Hawaii rainbow warriors Yes, you are don't put that evil on me Ricky Bobby. I don't ever said that not only are they oh and two But it went from bad against Stanford to worse last week against you and LV What do they do this week at home on the island taking on New Mexico? I deny I plausible liability There is no guide for example that has me picking Hawaii to get to the college football playoff nothing like that Yeah, look well the other part of this is it seems that some of the worries about Mike alohado's
ability to stay healthy might have been true He didn't really look great against Stanford He did not look good against you and LV And then now you have coming in here. Maybe some thought that he's a little banged up You're talking about a spread that open 10 now down to seven in favor of Hawaii And when we saw the Aggies look you can we can talk all we want about Florida state all New Mexico state did go toe-to-toe on the road before to state and pushed them a little bit right and at least made them compete in that game for all four quarters So you can understand why Why teen that at one point think some people thought like I they were going to be pretty competitive Probably should have a cover under their belt But don't because of what happened at the end of that Stanford game But they were beat down and that Hawaii offense line look really bad against you and LV I think the question just becomes you know, what point does this become worth playing We're talking about hey under seven does that get more tempting for Hawaii But you talk about being thirsty for a win and this new mechro state team coming off their own loss But still this is a group that I think is dying for a victory at this point right now Hawaii Oddly enough like you said a field goal move on the point spread
But no movement on the total still sitting 50 and a half if you do end up betting this game You're gonna have to wait it is the very last game of the weekend out there in Hawaii How about the Clemson Tigers to bounce back after what was a brutal Embarrassing whatever word you want to use to describe it against LSU They go from that to now being 20 and a half point favorites against Georgia Suther I mean not like there's the biggest difference in the world. It's a spot like MGM or down to 20 You know, it just he said are we really freaking out this LSU might be really good. Yeah, LSU might be great Ed I don't think this is going to happen, but as it has been pointed out Clemson has in the last few years Got in its doors blown off in these first games and gone on to win 10 games make it to a college football playoff They're not a great team, but just a competent enough team in the ACC So I don't want to put too much into this and then you talk about it situationally like we've been saying There's not good to be many opportunities for dabbo to stick it to somebody But coming off a week in which Lane kiffin mocked him on the half during the half time brother during the big Jimmy interview
He's widely been mocked as well. He's been getting grilled by the local media about his roster construction A lot of us by now have seen the halftime speech that he gave to his team as well The went viral on social media which one Lane. Yeah, but I've just talked about from dabbo's point like my man's probably got to go out Oh, you're right to that point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, so like to this point Don't you think he's gonna it seems too easy doesn't it screw first half? I mean under 20 I mean first half is Yeah, what's 11 and a half? Yeah, that's the way I'm looking 11 and a half This is a Georgia Southern team too to take that side of it that is a far below average G6 team at this point right now Their win total is four and a half and whenever they have played Reasonably good teams the last few years they have given up so many points last year give up 42 to Fresno state 56 to SC 35 to JM You year before that 56 to boy see 52 to Ole Miss 47 to ODU So just take that into account. I think Clemson has a day's quarterly. No, I know or do we go team total instead?
I don't know man. Yeah, as far as bad as Clemson looks I do not the looked I do not think it was all bad especially When you are turning it around to face a program like this Okay, I know you wanted to talk about my game Tennessee at Georgia Tech one of the really I think Defeating performances for a team of the weekend is the way Georgia Tech ultimately loses against Colorado on that walkoff field goal So many just I think whether it's penalties or the lack of physicality on either offensive or defensive line for brink Key teams by the way that are known for being physical and tough they were anything but that now have to face a Tennessee team at home Though at Bobby Dodd. What do you make of it? Well, I actually I wanted to ask you that's why I wanted to talk about this I know you've done some preliminary research you've done you had some conversations right did anything come up like it What do you like again? You can't pick sides here, but I am very curious. I don't want to again I am very high on Brandon But I don't want to make too much of Georgia Tech's loss or Tennessee going out there and beating up on Furman 12 and a half and we've seen this is a young kid going out there on the road at the true road environment
We have seen young freshman before fall in these situations Um, I'm curious what's going to come out of the conversations tomorrow with Georgia Tech and I will have had those conversations by the time I come on the show with you guys tomorrow afternoon But the numbers were really really ugly from the from a running standpoint JBT outgained on the ground 183 to 51 averaging 1.7 yards per carry half of their rushes last week Or for zero or negative yards. Yeah, that's not going to fly against a Tennessee team like this That all of the things that they've said at least have been the right things in that We did what we're supposed to do against Furman This is our first test going on the road against a power opponent in Georgia Tech We know that we need to show up and show out that's at least what they said to me this morning We'll see what that looks like, but they they seem pretty excited for this one and highly motivated Knowing that this is the first game that Arianne Carter is going to be playing as well After he was suspended for the first game for that $427 flight that the NCAA just wouldn't let him off for Remember set phasers to stun
Huh set phasers to stun just good. I'll text Bob right now Test the test the waters test the waters just say like What do you think about this game of this call if he's gonna get it? Fight your face on Brandon, you know, you're stunning the crowd on the road like it plays a place But the spread is is 12 and a half. It's a big number I'll give Alberto Mendoza his flowers. He was probably the lone bright spot really for the yellow jacket I honestly want your opinion on it. I'm curious how you think if you think Georgia Tech can have a better point We should get somebody smarter than me that potentially does work for ESPN that played the game Stay for Steve later on in the program You Every game day you show up for your team now.
