Holiday. You have a good holiday, everybody. Hopefully everyone, uh, ate a lot. All the Christmases, all the, all the Christmas Es, if you're still having them. Yes. Merry Christmas. Eat, um, eat, eat, drink. Be merry if you're doing kwana, all those. Yeah. Be merry, um, start of the years coming soon. Yeah. Start of the years coming soon. Anything, uh, right up on us. Any, anything speak out to you for your Christmases? 17 of them.

Cole Ingle: 0:25

Um, the one thing. Say for me, we were able, uh, my siblings live in North Carolina and in Colorado, so, um, the ability to have them back and actually at my house, uh, for almost a week straight was, was really nice. And we all actually get along well. Um, you and I talked about a little bit. Uh, so it was very nice to, to have them back. Um, interacting with our boys, uh, interacting with us, uh, playing games, watching games. And just interacting with family overall was really nice. Yeah. I

Stoy Hall: 0:57

mean, same, uh, very low key. No drama. Um, I, you know, follow a couple staff. I mean, we didn't even watch football cuz Yeah. Very little. I was like, there's a little bit. I said, he's like, I'm not even watching it. I'm like, I'm not either. I just, you know, check the dolphins debacle, which we will get to. Mm-hmm. cannot wait for that one. Um, but it was a, it was a solid, low key, low stress, just nice long weekend. Yep. And we get another, Come right up. Come right up. Come right up. So let's lead off. Let's lead off with a goon for those keeping score at home. We had two goon locks this week. They both hit, yeah. I'm not gonna say it's someone's fault that we didn't do more goon locks, but I'm gonna say that it was his fault that we didn't get another one. That's fair. Specifically on the Colts. I don't know. you went over that. Don't understand that

Cole Ingle: 1:47

situation's funny. That's not even true. If you watched the tape you wanted to go over as well, except for you were going, didn't with a

Stoy Hall: 1:54

theme, but I didn't, yeah. So I didn't, my theme almost hit not with the cowboys

Cole Ingle: 1:59

eagles. Like you went, that was under on the only game that you knew was going over. I

Stoy Hall: 2:02

know. That was the bummer. Yeah. Like talked about that too. I was like, ah, anywho. Yeah. Um, Jags jet. Jack Jets. Wow. Uh, all the reports of Zach Wilson not coming back to the Jets. He's just not good at football. Hmm. Mike White starts

Cole Ingle: 2:21

the rest of the year, which gives the jets the best chance to win.

Stoy Hall: 2:25

Sure does. So how Jacksonville, uh, any, did you get anything from this week at all? No. No win exactly. Probably basically how we thought. Yeah. Um,

Cole Ingle: 2:35

lower scoring game that the Jets never had a chance

Stoy Hall: 2:37

to win. Which is why that one and a half line made no sense. So we took Jacksonville to cover, uh, to win in the under and yeah. Crushed that one. There was, oh God, the Falcons are gonna just, just make me, I'm, I'm, Hmm. It was a good game. I thought of how it went exactly. You know, under, um, we actually had the cover just run it into the end zone. Uh, there was, there was some pretty poor officiating in this one. Um, and, uh, very, very questionable calls that kept us out of the end zone twice, which would've made the. Actually, debatably could have beat them, um, but would've had to cover late. And I was really, really jacked about that. Yeah. But it didn't happen. Um, I will, I'll give an update on rigor. Um, he's, he's still improving like every quarter by quarter he's looking solid. Pressure doesn't get to'em, makes big throws, um, to a receiver who's a rookie, who fumbles in big situations. Um, But overall I can't be mad about it. We're picking sixth right now, if you will. Yeah. In the pick all. Hey, that's all I gotta say. The

Cole Ingle: 3:57

Ravens the first team eliminated. Yeah. From the NFC South. Yeah. Shucks.

Stoy Hall: 4:04

I wish we would've stayed in a little longer, but now we can play upset. So we upset. But do you want to, yeah, I want to beat the bucks so the Panthers get in I want the Panthers, but you don't have. No, I know it's up to them, but we could, it could be come down to us beating the buck. I get it.

Cole Ingle: 4:22

But I don't want to, cuz I don't, I mean, if it's bucks, if it's Panthers in the playoffs, or are you getting a better draft pick? Which one are you going for?

Stoy Hall: 4:28

Oh, act absolutely. A better draft pick, right? So, I mean, duh. But please don't draft a quarterback. I don't, next two games will tell. Okay. Right now he is in the right trajectory where he at least earns next

Cole Ingle: 4:41

year. Yeah. But there's not anybody better that should be drafted. That's, that's the biggest thing is like,

Stoy Hall: 4:47

I, I concur. I conc,

Cole Ingle: 4:48

I don't think anybody should draft a quarterback, so. I concur. So definitely talk about that as we move

Stoy Hall: 4:53

forward. So I got, uh, Baltimore on the money line. Cole went with Atlanta. Every time he picks Hot Atlanta to win, they don't, um, spread like I just talked about. And we went with the under which, yeah. Which hit? So off to, uh, off to your game.

Cole Ingle: 5:10

Oh, what a game.

Stoy Hall: 5:13

Um, did not see this. Let's put that out there.

Cole Ingle: 5:19

40 to 34. Um, so definitely over the, uh, 46, that was the total in this game. Um, you hit Dallas. You hit Dallas, covering, uh, as well. And spread was five and a half. Uh, I had Philly covering, uh, which it looked like all game. Not only were they gonna cover, but they were gonna. Um, I have a, I just have trouble reading the Cowboys in general. Their defense has actually been really lackluster in the last couple of, actually the last few weeks. And unless we get a pass rush consistently, we're very susceptible on the back end. Right. because of injuries and style of play. And so that is worrisome come playoff off time. But at the same point, I would say our offense is as in good of spot as we've had it. We've found Zeke's found his role. Pollard continues to be great. Um, CD Lamb is coming into his own. Michael Gallup looks like he's finally getting to full speed. Noah Brown's a solid. Um, third receiver. You've got Schultz at tight end, who's top half of the league in that perspective. So offensively we're strong, um, which is what Dallas has been built. That's what Jerry Jones has built in general. So should be, um, strong, but we're finally getting to see that. I don't like the regression that I'm seeing in the defense. Come playoff time. I'm hoping it's a little bit of complic. but we're giving up a lot of points on to backup and or bad teams in the last month. So it's starting to become a trend that's getting a little, little worrisome, especially as we have now clenched a playoff spot, basically clenched the fifth seed. Um, unless somehow the eagles just completely trip over themselves here the last two weeks. And ultimately I don't think Dallas would like, you don't wanna be the three seat or the four seat, or the three or the two because of matchups. I think you're better off just taking the five and then take your chance playing Philly. Um, later in the first like, I don't wanna play San Francisco. No,

Stoy Hall: 7:48

you play anybody in the mc south though. Right? But

Cole Ingle: 7:51

that, that by getting the five. You automatically lock yourself in and we're locked into the five. Right? So why? But I also don't love taking weeks off as, and there's a general

Stoy Hall: 8:04

and there's a lot mentality. This goes for both the Eagles and the cowboy. There is two, two full week, like two weeks is a long time. Mm-hmm. one game fine. Right. Two now bad habits can be formed. Right, right. Uh, out of rhythm, all of those things happen. And for Philly it's actually potentially three weeks right before they actually play against Correct. Um,

Cole Ingle: 8:25

that's, Philly's gotta keep winning. Like, if they win this week, then they would have Correct.

Stoy Hall: 8:29

They need to win this one. We talked about that. They win this one, they're good. Right.

Cole Ingle: 8:33

It's,

Stoy Hall: 8:33

uh, I know, I, I, I said it, it's tough. Your defense is

Cole Ingle: 8:38

to get that figured out. I mean, there's not a, a perfect storm to any of it. A lot of teams like the rest so they can get healthy. Specifically the Eagles, I don't, still don't think Jalen hurt should play this. they min you in by the Saints. Right? Um, again, you had to lose both the last two games and somebody else Hasa went out in order for you to get to that point. So, um, I don't see them losing both games, but,

Stoy Hall: 9:02

and Minu showed enough to wear, like, right, they're, you're good. It'd be fine if you went hurts to get a series or two. Fine right next. If

Cole Ingle: 9:10

he's cleared and healthy, then he should play. But if not, like they shouldn't be pushing the envelope from that perspective. But, uh, yeah, you. You nailed it on, uh, Dallas covering Dallas winning. Um, you missed the under. I hit the over So we were even on that game. Um,

Stoy Hall: 9:29

overall. Yeah. And then we, uh, did it again. Go of this just shit game. Yeah. The fact that it went to overtime bucks, I, they should be eliminated. Right? I just, I don't understand. I know it's meant stop, but they look.

Cole Ingle: 9:47

until last two minutes, and then all of a sudden Tom Brady looks like vintage Tom Brady. Correct. Besides that, he looks

Stoy Hall: 9:52

hoarded washed. I mean, the Cardinals. I don't, I I, I thought McCoy was going in, like, I thought he, and then well, who would end up playing the rest of the game? McSorley. Yeah. Who? Yeah. Yeah. Penn State, I think. Right? Him? Yeah.

Cole Ingle: 10:06

Oh yeah. Old Trace McSorley. He should, you don't know him, but you about to find out.

Stoy Hall: 10:13

He should have beat the bucks. Like yeah,

Cole Ingle: 10:15

he should have. They outplayed them for 47 minutes, basically.

Stoy Hall: 10:20

Um, so crap, game bucks win. Here's on the covers. It

Cole Ingle: 10:29

was under. I don't have anything, I don't else to say about that. this weekend. The Bucks play the Panthers that will determine who wins the N ffc. Yep. South. Yep. I was trying to think of something worse to call it.

Stoy Hall: 10:44

Um, it's not good. No, it's garbage. And then we get to the Cha's Colts. Um, hey, let's go ahead and sit Matt Ryan again. I'm not sitting him. He's done well. I mean like, like, yeah. Statistically he was playing player. He a ball in Nicky Foz. Yeah. How'd that work out? Um, well, three picks later.

Cole Ingle: 11:04

I think three throws over 10 yards. He was at one point, like two for seven with three picks, or one for seven with three picks. Some, I mean, something ridiculous. Um, basically if they tried to throw the ball down the field, he threw it to the other team

Stoy Hall: 11:17

and he got like, oh, I don't know if we put it in our Twitter, but like the most sacks and most hits and like all of this stuff, just nothing. Good. Yeah. So was it. Sitting Matt Ryan for it? Does it matter? Not matter really. Were you trying, were they trying to see who, what they have in him in FOLs? No, I mean,

Cole Ingle: 11:36

I just, is he, is Ryan Healthy?

Stoy Hall: 11:40

I mean, if he's, if he is,

Cole Ingle: 11:42

was he, I don't think he was a healthy scratch. Yeah. I thought he was. Was he a healthy scratch? I, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, all the old guard quarterbacks just, they're dead. It's time to hang'em up, I guess.

Stoy Hall: 11:51

I don't know. The Packers are getting hot again. They don't, they don't scare me. So, but anyways, uh, we, I mean, they're getting healthier, don't get me wrong. They're getting healthier, but don't, yes. I can't, they're not gonna football. Can't believe that. On, uh, so we both went Chargers, money line, chargers spread, and I, I took the under cuz that was the smart play. Yeah. Um, and that's what hit, so I went 13 and two on the week. Solid week. Yeah. Cole also had a solid week at 11 and four. Only problem. Yeah, I had two more wins in Yeah. Mean. Yeah, you did. And that means Goldlock is yours. It is. I'm excited about that. Uh, best bets, um, money Line lock. Sensi had it in the bag. Detroit. Wow. Um,

Cole Ingle: 12:38

wow. I don't know whether to be more disappointed in Detroit or more impressed with what Carolina's doing. Uh, does that

Stoy Hall: 12:47

make sense? I, it does. I like, I'm, I'm impressed by the Panthers for what they don't have. Right. And what they've been through for a team that's supposed to be tanking. That's, that's a more disappointment thing for the Lions. Like they couldn't score, they couldn't do anything.

Cole Ingle: 13:00

No. Yeah. They looked like the lions of old Yeah. Against Ian,

Stoy Hall: 13:04

against a playoff hunt. Like all they had against the Panthers, and now they're,

Cole Ingle: 13:08

oh yeah. Odd men out really built teams are playing for desperation, like, Very much

Stoy Hall: 13:12

desperation, but we just didn't show up. No. Um, spread lock. I went with, uh, the bears plus eight and a half over the bills. Did it look good for a little bit? Uh, you went with c My three and half crushed it. We did crush our over unders though. Yeah. Uh, I went with dolphins, Packers 48 and a half under, uh, you went to Houston, Tennessee, which ended up at 37. It did.

Cole Ingle: 13:34

In. Wow. I mean, Houston's been on the word verge of winning. Like they should six, possibly have like a four or five game winning streak. Oh yeah. Like, and then Tennessee is, I mean, Malik Will's not the answer.

Stoy Hall: 13:50

No. And when we get to Thursday night this week, yeah. That's spread. Ah, yeah. Um, I want the five game under, I missed. Because of the Cowboys. I should have flipped that one to the over. Yeah. And been just crushed it, but I didn't, so here we are. And you went with the cards, which they, they should have, like, we were really close on that. So yeah, those are the best bets of the week.
