This is sports R I am Gabriel Mory the PS the players the hustles the people the bus but everybody else in between let’s do this thing the wicked Wednesday has be gun get on the grid we’ll welcome sirusxm Channel 159 momentarily we got a full house on the program uh this
Evening Brady Cannon steps up and in straight for the strip in Las Vegas Nevada Paul bovie uh throws it down uh with us uh tonight uh we’ve got the Reggie redhead cam Stewart Ian Cameron AKA babano old school uh colie gavar uh from the HSR
Days the Big E Eric Cohen uh kicks it with us tonight as well so as I said we got a full house on the program uh tonight we got the the Lakers and the Mavericks uh playing right now this game started a little bit earlier than they
Normally do in Los Angeles the Lakers are up 62 to 57 right now they’re laying four and a half that’s what they were laying before the basketball game uh started as well uh the endgame total is now 229 and a half uh in this game big news from the association today was the
Trottle Raptors pulled the trigger on another Blockbuster deal they already traded OG an and Obi uh to the New York Knicks of course uh there was a lot of talk last night about Pascal seak and potentially uh being traded to the uh to the Pacers that it
Was close last night and evidently the reports were true it was close because the deal got done and uh the trottle Raptors got three first round draft picks they got Bruce Brown who I’m expecting that they’re going to flip and trade for more uh draft Capital mov
Moving forward they got Kira Lewis um they’ve been stockpiling uh players in draft picks over the last couple of weeks the Raptors and then they stepped up and absolutely murdered of Miami Heat uh tonight so we’ll get into the deal uh this evening for the most part people
Think the Pacers overpaid except new school Raptor fan on Twitter who complains about everything all the time and think they’re gonna win the championship and it’s funny because Pascal cakam never ever ever really ever got the credit or respect that he deserved uh from raptor nation and now
They’re all upset that they didn’t get 12 firstr draft picks back for shout out to everyone joining us on SiriusXM channel 159 on the sports grid Radio Networks this is sports r i meredy we got a full house on the show tonight we’ll get into the NFL playoffs uh
Wednesday night is always a golf uh night we got some golf picks what’s in Cam’s bag we’ll see what one of the best golf cers in the business Brady Cannon has in store we’ve got we got a couple of events uh this week uh the California swing begins with the American Express
And we’re also playing in Dubai and Rory Rory does very well uh in Dubai so we’ll take a look at the two tournaments I don’t Brady’s focused more in uh on the uh the American Express uh the rager red Cam Stewart no doubt has about 72 uh plays actually that’s probably
Conservative uh when you combine to both of them so the Lakers just want on a little bit of a run right now 6959 there the USC Trojans are in action this evening taking on the Arizona Wildcats this number continues to climb it was 19
Earlier in the day it’s up to 20 and a half let’s see if they’ve tipped off right now they are tipping off like any minute here um this game to me you know normally I you know normally I’d be like listen give me a reason to take the
Underdog here I really don’t have one yeah it’s it’s nice um that that bronny James is on the USC Trojans for the record his player prop is five and a half like if if his name wasn’t James there would you know I said his player prop is five and a half points LeBron’s
Talking about how he’s good enough to be playing on the Lakers uh right now but Arizona pretty good at murdering you like you know what I mean so for me it’s like it’s the the favorite or nothing here and I’m going to jump in on it uh
We’ll take Arizona we’ll lay the points with Arizona and expect him to win by 26 or something like that uh what are we going to get here minus 20 isus 130 to get the man that hook that’s a lot for that hook you know what at a principle I’m not I can’t
Do that I don’t mind buying a half Point here and there and stuff like that but for pro sports college it’s too erratic so you know what I’m not laying 25 cents to buy a half a point on 20 and a half not like some massive key number here
Well l the 20 and a half and we’ll hope for the best with Arizona uh Nevada and SDSU are coming up Nevada let us down last week on the show we took them a couple of night yeah it was last week uh they they hadn’t lost
At home and all that and Boise State went in there and uh beat them now they’re on the road in San Diego tonight against the Aztecs the Aztecs are six and a half Point favorites in this game the total is 139 a half uh right now so there’s no late hockey uh this
Evening which is a little bit you know confusing uh frustrating we had a canceled game in the National Hockey League uh tonight we told you before our boy Tommy uh in master control had tickets to uh Conor Bard Blackhawks and sabes but without El Carter Bard it just
Becomes a crap ass Sabers and Blackhawks game in the middle of the season that’s like the most irrelevant game in the history of hockey um so he ended up uh giving the tickets away and then the game ends up getting canceled tonight so just one of those deals like
You know I don’t know if you believe in a higher power or not Tommy but you weren’t meant to be in the HSB Center whatever the hell they call it now is that what it’s called still Marine Bank I top my head what are the is the
HSBC wasn’t it like the Marine Bank or something once that’s the one thing that I’m not good at like if you like I don’t know like I I don’t know like all these new sponsor and stuff except I know all the Canadian Arena sponsors because they’re all the same it’s all either the
Rogers Center Rogers Arena Rogers Place it’s like welcome to Rogers like yeah which one like you know what I’m saying I don’t even know like the arena hell like down the street for me what what’s that one called I it’s Rogers Arena I think I think it is I think it’s Rogers
Arena you got the Roger Center but what’s the one in Edmonton called Rogers Place Roger something right they said I kind of like I kind of just tune that out like what’s the the the arena in Toronto called now the Scotia Bank Center yeah as if it’s
Like changing from like Hines Field in a ketchup bottle like you whatever dude like Acure I don’t even know what the hell it is now ACU acupuncture something you know you sort of just tune these things out um after a while it’s like I don’t know I don’t care speaking of
Which actually they’re going to just talk I know we’ve got a lot of listeners in Chicago uh the white socks are building a new stadium you all this talking about the Bears leaving and stuff but yeah the white socks were stepping up very interesting project uh so we’ll get into this I I
Guess inste a part they call the 78 office 16th an undeveloped part of Chicago there’s a big plot of land uh there seems like there’s very positive reviews from everybody in Chicago about this about the location about the project and uh and everything so we’ll
Get into that a little bit we got some pwhl uh updates for you yeah we did okay tonight we we won we lost the best of times the worst of times uh type of deal we’ll get you cop to date with the NFL weather uh specifically in Detroit as
The warm weather Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to Detroit can get pretty cold in Detroit at this time of the year as they discussed today at the press conference man last night we played the uh the hockey announcer like having a heart attack when you nearly got hit by
A puck I feel bad for this lady today that asked uh if the bock are concerned about the cold weather in Detroit this is for R quarterback quarterback we’re going to lay some juice we’re going to have some dog prices we’re going to go right in the middle because I don’t know what they’re doing to me they’re in a complete rebuild Kev go run run run that’s where overb backers on this 51
And a half shot right now we saw a little bit more over money but he’s Hing right the winner of this game will be the division F don’t care if they win because only we care about is the money baby the money pro football today it’s smarter to be on Sports
Grid last year the Purdue border makers upset by the 16 seed Fairley Dickinson is history going to repeat itself Purdue is capable of winning six games in the NCAA tournament but the fact is until Purdue proves that it’s capable of not just advancing but advancing far in the
Bracket in March this is going to be the story line and I’ve said that to you throughout the off season the early line only on Sports grid I really thought the lions were going to blow out the Rams and in the first half I was like all right I got
One right here on this one and then the Lions what happened Jacob they like stopped playing the Lions offense is more of a complete unit right now because they have a really strong Run game and I know Tampa’s run defense is good too but all they need is David
Montgomery and Spears do a little and that’ll open things up for Jared go Newswire only on Sports grid and I tell you what there’s a million in one U coaching vacancies uh right now Brady Cannon is a candidate for the Vegas Raider job like there so there’s so many jobs available right now
NFL teams are coming to the grid uh for for our talent as so there’s that many head coaching spots available uh right now I’m going to submit my uh my resume Sports rage late night only on Sports grid anyone that’s been to a sporting event the atmosphere
Before a game I think game time decisions has that same exact atmosphere this is our Arena this is what we do there is going to be an energy to game time decisions that you will feel night in and night out the excitement you get when you when you lock your bets and
When you’re figuring out what you want to do we can Zone in on the biggest games each night I want this to be the place that people come to before the game start so they feel as ready as possible to lock in their cards we are
Going to hit every single one of those markets that you need to know about we’re going to go through every single thing and I’ve got a great team behind me that’s going to help me get the job done there is not going to be a better place I promise you than game time
Decisions to get that new information react to it and be able to then bet accordingly we will have everything at our disposal and we will use that to our advantage I’m Kevin Walsh tune in to game time decisions from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Sports Crit let’s roll this is Sport TR I am Gabriel Mery countdown to kickoff is on there’s a lot of stuff to break down there’s a lot of stuff going on on and off the field NBA uh took Center Stage today big Blockbuster deal involved with the Tonto Raptors and the Indiana Pacers
As um it’s an end of an era the only remaining player left from the Raptors championship team in 2019 is now Chris bue and I nearly broke down seeing bue like was seriously upset about cakam being traded I think he knows like he’s coming up next but you know in which he
Basically said listen I’ve been here and I’ve seen a lot of people come and go he said this one this one hurts they were best friends like they they like cak’s best friend on the team was Chris bue Chris Bush’s best friend on the team was Pascal
Cakam they’re not American right so like they like there there’s different Clicks in the NBA and they were very very tight so Chris bue I got rattled like seeing Chris bue and thinking about the memories but Raptors responded uh tonight they smashed the Miami Heat but we’ll get back to that we’ll get
Everybody’s thoughts on this Eric Cohen’s get a step up and in uh we got the r r Camp Stewart Ban’s in the house uh we got a full house tonight Paul bovie let’s start off with Brady Cannon we’re gonna get into some golf and NFL Brady always a pleasure good to see you
Brady hey good to be with you Gabe and cam another Wicked Wednesday indeed on the eve of the West Coast Swing getting started on the PGA tour and Cam I don’t know if you feel this way about the American Express but for me th this is still my quote unquote preseason I
Really dive in next week at Tory Pines you know with the head-to-head matchups and the top 20s I kind of use these first few weeks to just get a feel for things and I’m glad I do with the American Express because this is really a complete crapshoot of a tournament
You’ve had 150 to1 long shots 300 to1 500 I mean you know Andrew Landry Hudson sford Adam long I mean guys come out of the woodwork and win this thing it finally normalized a little bit last year with John ROM but I I think you
Kind of really have to go all over the board I I think it’s eight out of the last 12 winners here have been 55 to one or higher so you know that kind of tells you the randomness of this uh this event and Gabe it’s been a crazy start to the
Season if we have like two stories that people aren’t really know if you’re not in the golf or follow like what’s going on Grayson Murray like hit rock bottom uh he was a guy that like really basically like he had a real problem like you know what I mean like he was
Checked himself into rehab uh I’m never going to play golf again he won a tournament last week in a three-man playoff I had Ben on as you know Brady right to lose that tournament with that four-footer and the week before it was Chris Kirk and I was just thinking it’s
Like wow like this Sport with guys who basically at Rock Bottom Kirk wins at 80 to1 he gets his life back on track with his family Grayson Murray comes out of nowhere at 300 to1 and wins this tournament so you’re right it’s been kind of a crazy start to the year and
They’re playing on three courses this week Gabe so should very interesting at the American Express but this is a pretty good field with sheffler and a couple others there Justin Thomas makes his return so should be a good tournament your boy chaet plays really
Well here as well so why is that and let me I’ll I’ll throw it to you first Brady because you started it by bringing up the log shots in here cam just brought it up that they play on three different tracks uh here is it a Pete die thing is
It that the courses aren’t that challenging that it even things out uh for them why is it that is it because it’s early in the season why is it that this this tournament is sort of a wide openen one I I think that’s all of the above there Gabe you’ve got three
Different designs here uh lint Country Club is the easiest of the three uh the next easiest is the Nicholas tournament course at PGA West the Jack Nicholas design and then the toughest one is the stadium course uh Pete Dy that each player will play each Course once and
Then a 54 hole cut on Saturday and then they play The Stadium Course again on Sunday uh so so the difference of golf courses I think is one reason how easy they are like you said it’s it’s basically a birdie Fest you got to carry a hot putter so that allows some
Randomness to creep into the equation it’s also a proamp so the first three days these guys are playing with CEOs and celebrities and stuff like that playing six hour thr off a bit some people yeah yeah I mean the almost better for the hacks right Brady like if
You’re Scotty sheer like you’re 5 to one you’re like I don’t need this guy from GE telling me how to have play golf help I would not be impressed no You’ be the worst Mor it’s like what company you from again like damn I just want to get
Out of here and make some money like it’s good for these guys at 300 think be like I better get like Super Bowl tickets for life out of this for you or something like you know what I mean I know your company’s big like I better like hope
You’re compan for Verizon you’re going hook me up with the CEO or something I like slow my ass down out there it’s it’s true though would you not think Brady though like when you’re a dog like that remember da points him and Bill M
I’m Da points and I got a lego belt and I’m winning at 180 to one whereas all the guys who are favored kind of like oh gez I got to deal with this corporate turkey again and these tournaments and Bill Murray with his Antics blowing up
Golf balls with smoke it’s like after a while it’s kind of like if I was like just a guy that was on the edge I’m like hey just crack some jokes loosen up and maybe you make some money and that’s that’s why we see a lot of underdogs I
Think those guys are like I really don’t care because I’m not as good as some of these chalk players right well start it’s not their usual routine so I I think that’s why you have some variant yeah let me start off with a guy that actually hasn’t won since the players in
2023 and Scotty sheffler he’s sort of been lingering he’s been knocking on the door he’s the favorite here guys uh he’s at plus 550 Patrick Klay a 9ine to1 range Xander 11 to1 uh sunai is uh is 20 Tom cam both those players are actually pretty trendy picks this week I’ve
Noticed Justin Thomas 22 to1 minw Le uh 30 to1 uh JT Poston 30 to1 so let’s throw it to Brady first here Brady who you looking at this week yeah the shortest shot I took uh I did jump on the sunj M Train I got him at 21 he’s
Just been a machine here he’s played here five times and he’s finished top 20 every time four out of the five top 15 you know he does everything well he can get the putter hot and he’s done very well at the correlated courses TPC Summerland TPC Scottdale um and the
Course history here specifically I I mean the guys never really flinched and so you know if he’s going to threaten a top 10 again that’s probably meaning that he’s going to threaten a possible win once again so I went with M uh as one and you know he also comes off of a
Fifth place finish at the Sentry uh in caloa and then he didn’t play in the Sony so I kind of like that he took a week off to refresh and you know restart and and see what he can do here at the American Express then I went to Eric
Cole great putter one of the best Putters in this field and and he makes a ton of birdies he leads a number of uh categories on the PGA tour uh from last season as far as making birdies and and that’s what you got to do here uh and
Then I went a little bit deeper you guys will like this one a Canadian in Adam hadwin another guy that has an amazing track record here a sixth place finish a third place finish a couple of Runner UPS you know he he has been maybe uh the
Best player as far as course history in this field and another guy that has a great short game and a hot putter uh finally uh I went to Bo hostler or excuse me I skipped over uh the Australian Cam Davis I was able to get
Him at 70 to1 and I’ve seen him all the way down to 45 here at Circa in Las Vegas so a lot of people apparently liking Cam Davis he makes a lot of birdies he’s really good on the par fours and he’s been hot he was very hot
To end last season season with five top 10 finishes in his final seven starts played pretty well in Hawaii had a couple of low outlier rounds shot of 62 to open the Sony so I think his form is there I think he’s going to win once maybe twice this season and it could
Start this week and then Bo Hustler I mentioned at 80 to1 another guy that was hot at the end of last season carries a hot putter seems to flourish in these birdie Fest type situations and then finally this week’s triple digit maybe we’ll go three weeks in a row of triple
Digit winners my guy is Eric Van royan at 105 to one finished sixth here last year and uh guys you know what I did make a late ad I just bet him about an hour ago I went with a little local Las Vegas flare I added Taylor Montgomery as
Well another guy with a tremendous short game that finished fifth here last year Brady Canon kicking what we get Cam’s picks a little bit later on we’ll get into the National Football League uh as well we’ll make sure to get Brady’s picks up back up everybody watching in sports bars casinos airports wherever
You may be and uh for those of you on the radio we’ve got uh sjm Eric Cole out of hot with C Davis Mo hosler and Van R quarterback quarterback we’re going to lay some juice we’re going to have some dog prices we’re going to go right in the middle because I don’t know what they’re doing to me they’re in a complete rebuild Kevin go run run run that’s where over backers on this 51 and
A half shot right now we saw a little bit more over money but it’s hovering right the winner of this game will be the division I don’t care if they win because all we care about is the money baby the money pro football today it’s smarter to be on Sports
Grid last year the Purdue border makers upset by the 16 seed Fairley Dickinson is history going to repeat itself Purdue is capable of winning six games in the NCAA tournament but the fact is until Purdue proves that it’s capable of not just advancing but advancing far in the

Gibs do a little and that’ll open things up for Jared goof new wire only on Sports grid and I tell you what there’s a million of one um coaching vacancies uh right now Brady Cannon is a candidate for the Vegas Raider job like so there’s so many jobs available right now NFL

Week so you’ve got a split field there’s some very good players playing in the Middle East as well this is sort of Rory stomping ground and uh Rory’s won here been very very successful here uh in the past but Brady I saw you on Twitter saying that uh you know you’re just
Focusing on the PGA tour this week yeah I I defer to our colleague here cam Stewart for the expertise uh on the DP World Tour I I’m uh you know just about 99% focused on the PGA tour and I dabble in the European tour a little bit here
And there but basically I listen to smart people like cam so cam if you’ve got any advice on the uh DP World toour fire away my friend that’s a nice thing anyone’s ever said to me I got I got a few guys for you actually I like Hatton
This week at 12 to1 Gabe I’ll give you my pcks a little bit later dangerous you’re yeah very dangerous go ahead very dangerous very dangerous thank you thirst Lawrence at 40 to1 looks good to me anyway Gabe we got to get into football I’ll give you my DP World Tour
Picks I got a four pack for you they don’t deserve six like the PGA Tour I got four just for the record for the American Express I like Adam shank top 20 uh plus 320 and you know what you’re even getting plus 187 for top 30 that’s
A good he’s been a top 20 machine he’s played well he’s played in deep Fields so for me yeah plus 187 top 30 plus 320 uh top 20 that’s my pick Adam shank and I’ll throw a dart with a winner a little bit later on but let’s get into the
National Football League uh right now there’s a lot of stuff going on the smack talk has begun um the Texans and Ravens though there’s no smack talk here Texans are getting nine and a half that’s the first game up uh Brady I’ll I’ll update the
Weather uh right now but the total is 43 and a half what are your thoughts on this one if you if you have any interest uh in betting this game you know it’s interesting this week Gabe my my power rating was the most off of the opening
Numbers in this game I made it Raven six and a half I think I have the Texans rated higher than a lot of different people and it’s worked out for most of the year I’ve I’ve made a lot of money on the Texans uh and I also think at the
Same time these spreads on the number one seeds that have had that bye the 49ers and the Ravens I I think they’re probably a little bit inflated because you know these are the two big bad boys in the NFL they’re obviously the number one seeds they’re the favorites to win
The Super Bowl and you have you know teams like the Packers and the Texans that just pulled off epets last year or last week so I I think the the numbers are a little bit inflated I also think there’s possibly some teaser protection in there you know they don’t necessarily
Want to be at eight and a half where everybody could just tease the favorite down so you know I I don’t want to lay n and a half I I’m I’m a little bit you know afraid to take it I I basically took the point spread out of question
Here I did tease the Ravens down on a seven-point teaser to two and a half but I like it even better on a moneyline parlay I moneyline parlayed it with the 49ers and the Detroit Lions the the last game I think the underdog is absolutely live obviously the spread is shorter um
But I’m not going to run to the window and lay it with the two big favorites this week San Francisco and Baltimore but I do think they both win the game the other thing is CJ strad and Jordan love these both both of these guys have
A very high ceiling a and they can come back and back door cover you in a heartbeat you know the these guys aren’t going to lay down so and we’ve seen what they can do especially Jordan love as of late and CJ strad really all season long
So I I don’t want to lay big numbers against those two guys that have so much upside you know to get you late in the game with a late score and you know they can throw a touchdown at any minute so uh one of to protect myself against that
Factor a little bit weather will not be a factor on Saturday in Baltimore 27 degrees 16 M an hour wins and average football weather uh for this time of the year so I think Houston catch a little bit of a break there I I find it interesting what you said there
I understand the numbers but you’re right it seems to me that they they have their mind made up on the number going in and they don’t care what happened going out cuz you can’t tell me Brady that Green Bay is not a better football team now than they were a month ago or
They they were six weeks ago and they’re they got no popper love and I thought they would you know what I mean I was thinking all right eight and a half like you really I I get that your number says this but Aaron Jones didn’t play most of
The year are you are you considering that in your number are you considering that Jordan love is getting better and better and turning into a star is that in the number right they it seems to me like man they just SM them it didn’t matter we’re making a N9 and a half 10
We don’t care what they just did here and I don’t know maybe they’re right cuz I always get that feeling well you know these teams haven’t played in a couple of weeks maybe they’re not as good as we think they are but generally these top seeds do win and
Cover well you know actually in the last 20 years or so the number one seeds as favorites have only covered about 35% of the time so this is kind of a week for Underdog divisional round in a divisional round or overall yeah in the divisional round and you could be right
You could be right about overall but I think it’s in the in the divisional round like if you look at the Super Bowl winners Brady over the last 10 years it’s always the it’s always one of the one seats for the most part with you know you have a little sprinkle in every
Couple of years but one thing I’ll throw I’ll throw back to you is too hisor I brought it up a million times last week I was guilty of it rookie quarterback sucking in the playoffs it seems like CJ stad doesn’t care that he’s a rookie right you know the other one was oh
Seven seeds have never won before in the playoffs well you know that was over the Packers were a seven seed uh and and they won you know and they’re playing with house money between the two dogs between those two nine and a halfs who do you who would you rather take a shot
With only if you were betting an underdog Brady Houston or Green Bay I I I think I would with Houston um you know they have continued to surprise you know week in and week out everybody’s kind of doubted them you know I I think their spreads have been a little bit short
Like I say I think my ratings are higher than the on the Texans than a lot of other people and they’ve exceeded expectations week in and week out and CJ stra just continues to amaze their running game is pretty decent both the Ravens and the 49ers have kind of
Slacked off defensively the last month or so of the season if you look at how they’re defending the Run how they’re defending the past it hasn’t been as good as it was and I think that’s kind of natural when you when you see yourself settling into that number one
Seed a little bit of fatigue you put it on cruise control a little bit um and then the Packers you know such an incredible I I think that was absolutely the best game they’ve played all season so I don’t necessarily expect them to be able to repeat that performance they’ll
Probably fall off of that just a little bit um you you mentioned Aaron Jones and it’s a good point he’s finally 100% healthy and and in there for all the snaps as he was last week that’s a big deal their offensive line was outstanding standing against the pass
Rush of the of the Cowboys so I mean if if they’re able to put that effort together again they’re going to be extremely competitive but I think it’s more likely that the Texans can put together a solid effort than it is for Green Bay to put out you know an
Over-the-top type effort uh so if I was going to take uh either dog um I I would probably play it with Houston you know Lamar’s history is a favorite and the Ravens and all that stuff and and like I said uh you know you have these fa in
This divisional round it’s it’s a little less or it’s a little above 40% that they actually cover these big numbers and I think that’s because they come into this week inflated be because everybody’s expecting that week off make such a big difference and it can or it
Come back it can come back to bite them you know the rest versus rust deal I’m leaning with both underdogs to be honest guys with both of them I’m not sure they both end up getting smoked and I think San Francisco too they need to prove it more we were
Talking about it last night Cam which I said y you know the 49er fans everybody the media talk about them like they’re the five time defending Champions or something oh and then the ners oh and then the ners they haven’t done it and I
Get I get it that Brock pie got hurt uh last year in a football game but there’s been a year before that and the years before that and I brought it up Brady as far as um Shanahan going back to the Super Bowl up 283 then they were up on
The Chiefs right like the ners they understand that but if you look at their wins this year I saw a debate online and you know they’re not like some unbeatable Unstoppable Force either like I think Green Bay goes in there playing uh playing with house money but then you
Get the um you get the bills and the Chiefs uh Brady we got about three minutes uh with you here so this is what Brady’s doing he’s moneyline parlay Ravens 49ers and the Lions then you got a seven-point teaser with the um the Ravens the 49ers and the Kansas City
Chiefs what are your thoughts on the Chiefs in the Bills game and then uh quickly on the Bucks and the Lions even though I know you’ve got the Lions uh in in the money line parl yeah I think you know the Lions handled the Bucks pretty easily earlier
This year and that was on the road and you know we’ve seen Jared goth be very good against the Blitz in two outings against the Minnesota Vikings we know how Brian Flores likes to Blitz he was 23 of 32 for over 300 yards couple touchdowns no interceptions when they
Met at home and on the road 30 of 40 for 257 yards one touchdown no interceptions and in that game against the Bucks Baker Mayfield was awful he threw a pick he he was like 19 to 37 gof had another excellent game in that game threw for
Under over 300 yards so you know it seems to me like Jared go can handle this pressure that Todd bus likes to dial up I don’t know if the lions are going to cover six and a half that seems like a lot of points I also worry about
A let down they were so celebratory last week and and I I don’t blame them the whole town the whole the fan base the GM everybody was loving the Lions I hope they don’t come down to earth a little bit off of that I think they’ll find a
Way to win a game Kansas City in Buffalo that’s a wild one game you know it seems that in the playoffs no matter if it’s at the home or road or whatever the Chiefs have had the bills number and I think the extra rest here for Kansas
City versus the short rest for Buffalo could make a big difference Brady Cannon catch him right here on the grid great stuff Brady thanks Guys quarterback quarterback we’re going to lay some juice we’re going to have some dog prices we’re going to go right in the middle because I don’t know what they’re doing to me they’re in a complete rebuild Kev go run run run that’s where over backers on this 51 and
A half shot right now we a little bit more over money but it’s hover right the winner of this game will be the division I don’t care if they win because all we care about is the money baby the money pro football today it’s smarter to be on Sports
Grid last year the Purdue Bo makers upset by the 16 seed Fairley Dickinson is history going to repeat itself Purdue is capable of winning six games in the NCAA tournament but the fact is until Purdue proves that it’s capable of not just advancing but advancing far in the
Bracket in March this is going to be the story line and I’ve said that to you throughout the off season early line only on Sports grid I really thought the lions were going to blow out the Rams and in the first half I was like all right I got
One right here on this one and then the Lions what happened Jacob they like stopped playing the Lions offense is more of a complete unit right now because they have a really strong Run game and I know Tampa’s run defense is good too but all they need is David
Montgomery and spear Gibs do a little and that’ll open things up for Jared Go News wire only on Sports grid and I tell you what there’s a million in one um coaching vacancies uh right now Brady Cannon is a candidate for the Vegas Raider job like home
There’s so many jobs available right now NFL teams are coming to the grid uh for for our talent as so there’s that many head coaching spots available uh right now I’m going to submit my uh my resume Sports rage late night only on Sports grid anyone that’s been to a sporting
Event the atmosphere before a game I think game time decisions has that same exact atmosphere this is our Arena this is what we do there is going to be an energy to game time decision that you will feel night in and night out the excitement you get when you when you
Lock your bets and when you’re figuring out what you want to do we can Zone in on the biggest games each night I want this to be the place that people will come to before the game start so they feel as ready as possible to lock in
Their cards we are going to hit every single one of those markets that you need to know about we’re going to go through every single thing and I’ve got a great team behind me that’s going to help me get the job done there is not
Going to be a better place I promise you than game time decisions to get that new information react to it and be able to then bet accordingly we will have everything at our disposal and we will use that to our advantage I’m Kevin Walsh tune in to game time decisions
From 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Sports Crit all right shout out to our guy Brady Canon for kicking it with us USC are hanging around right now it’s 31 26 5 and a half minutes left in the first half of play I jumped in on the in game over 159 a half as well in this game and
I was just thinking it’s going to be the last time this is uh and it’s nothing really super sentimental about USC and Arizona and their basketball rivalry but this is it right like um I yesterday I thought I thought it was crazy when I saw the Big 10 Twitter account was
Tweeting the Washington Huskies press conference and at first I I was like why are they what do you guys care about the Washington Huskies hiring Jed fish and I’m like oh yeah yeah yeah you’re a big 10 team now crazy so they’re in the Big 10 now but the basketball season’s being
Played out still so like they have one last go around here at basketball that’ll be the more sentimental one too because Pack 12 Football had a good season this year and stuff but the Pack 12 is known pack eight pack you know pack eight pack 10
Pack 12 it’s a basketball like you know I mean like the the sentimentality of that being gone it’s G be like who this is real right now but Arizona’s off to um Arizona is off to the uh the Big 12 and USC is off to the Big 10 the end of
The world as we know it has arrived Paul bovie steps up and in to uh join us let’s do this thing bie how you doing tonight I’m doing great guys uh how you doing good to see you man nice to see ready to rock bie my Buffalo Bills are
Still the bills are still uh still playing so I’m feeling all right Michigan won the National Championship it’s been a good run I know Mason Rudolph had you on your heels man I mean what happened there I mean God Almighty if you don’t get if you don’t get that penalty on the
Extra point a miles Jack penalty and a a 13 yard run and Shakir doesn’t dance into the end zone through raindrops I mean you’re in trouble buddy that’s a lot of ifs we were in trouble except that they won by double [Laughter] it’s a lot it’s a lot of ifs but one
Thing that’s what I like about this Bills team actually is that every week you could say after the game well you know what that was a problem or this was this and that well whatever they’ve won six in a row right now and you can win
You can win pretty and it it gives you a full sense of hope like I said in past years the bills have come in with these Gody numbers and and stuff and Fallen flat so however they win each week it doesn’t matter and something that wasn’t
Brought up I want to move forward though Paul is there’s all this talk you know the bills were without five starters on defense in that game like the Mii Dolphins without starters and oh my God they don’t have starters the Buffalo Bills played Without five starters on
Defense and then they lost two guys in the game they were actually was wait doson played Douglas played uh they were actually down they were actually down they were actually down seven guys like in game at one point as to what their original or what their starting lineup
Is supposed to be rasul dougas did play Sam Lewis Guy no Douglas did not play kleene is like a veteran who’s on his couch so they were missing all those guys I know but Douglas missed uh like nine games this year he did okay look pckers we acquired them like at the
Trade deadline all right all I’m going to say to you is this I know I know no I’m just telling you the Buffalo Bills without half their defense you can like pretend it’s not true all you want like whatever I’m just telling you it’s true listen listen true listen I listen I
Have an affinity for Buffalo you forget I went to school by there in 1976 blizzard of 77 I was there buddy so I know what snow can do what really can snow can do but the problem is this week and let’s talk about this week because
They won the game I give them a lot of credit they held on did what they have to do but coming up this week you have six starters who could be out of the lineup now I expect a few of them to play but that’s 102 starts during the
Regular season n potential starts 91 actually came to fruition and they were in the lineup so when you have Bernard out or you have doson out or one of these other cornerbacks out I gotta tell you they got their work cut out for him and I’m I’m not against Buffalo I’m just
Calling it the way it is I agree with you 1 million percent and I brought it up I was live on the air with forell during the game during the game and I said they’re gonna get picked apart by Kelsey and Mahomes over the middle of
The field next week like they just they don’t have any bodies they don’t have any linebackers they’ve got like DBS nickel guys practice roster guys it’s a problem and then Taran Johnson gets hurt last week who they need so he’s in a concussion protocol supposedly it look pretty good hopefully they can squeeze
Him through the doctors and get him back out there Russo Douglas will be back uh this week uh as far as Bernard is concerned as you stated and you even a Spector kid Paul and K the Spectre kid out of Clemson was suddenly contributing he never played all year and he was
Actually playing well the uh um and then he got hurt he was contributing late hopefully they get dialed up and one thing is though nobody’s really healthy at this time of the year these teams it’s a war of attrition it is what it is depth is real
But I do get the feeling that the bills offense needs to be better this week and when I say better I mean listen Casey are going to score a bit so you know what Josh you’re gonna have we’re gonna have to put some points up on the board
Like this you know I know we’re talking about winning ugly and stuff but the bills offense needs to click and be that oh yeah yeah they’re they’re dialed in here right now and outscore the Chiefs because I am concerned I’m not going to
Lie guys and I’ll throw it to you C I am very concerned about the bill secondary Paul I’m not going to deny that yeah no Paul you guys are both right no and it’s it’s it’s going to be horrible you Gabe it’s a great point you bring up across
The middle because that’s where Kansas City is going to attack but I will say this the one feather in the cap for the Buffalo Bills one of the only teams with their offensive line together the whole time and it got really scary with McGovern going down but he actually got
Okay in that game at the end so that’s vital that is absolutely vital for the bills in that stretch I’m with you Gabe but I do believe this and Paul knows too hey Allen’s going to take this team on his back he’s going to run he’s going to
Hurdle he’s going to pull a John la la helicopter he’s going to do anything it’s going to be a classic game it’s just about buffalo’s defense getting a few stops in this game and then we’re gonna have a classic but Kansas City’s gonna get theirs bie we all know that
That’s the problem but hopefully some of those bills guys can come back because uh I’d like to see Buffalo win weather won’t be a factor either what’s your opinion on the total there Paul it’s uh 45 and a half right now well I’ll tell
You what I played I I mean and it feeds right into what you guys have been saying first of all I played Kelsey over 61 and a half he’s nine and8 to the high side of that number I also played him over six and a half catches plus 115 you
Can get five and a half minus a155 minus A1 60 I took my chances I think he’s going to get seven or eight uh yeah Kelsey is point he could have that on the first drive of the game you’re right he got six catches in the first drive
Just for the record I Kelsey five and a half last week in the last game uh in in the cold game he had five in the first half and he dropped like three balls sailed over the number they don’t have any want to throw it to they’re either
Gonna throw it to him and now Rashid rice has come on but that’s it that’s all they have yeah exactly uh you know look these guys can catch it out of the back field but I also played the Kansas City team to over 21 and a half look I
Don’t really want to bet against Josh Allen right now he is as Cam said he’s like a man possessed he’s he’s you know he’s focused uh he’s capable of playing a great game which he did on on Monday it was uh Sunday Monday whatever the
Hell it is but anyway he played a great game and led him to Victory so um give him credit I I just think Kansas City will score 23 to 26 points here I think they’re going to get theirs against the Buffalo defense which is maligned right now because of these injuries so I’m
Going that direction I’m also going PCO over again a cheap number at 61 and a half which I took today also up to 63 and a half he’s went over this five out of the last seven games and he seems to be getting right at the right time uh
Early on he wasn’t but right now he’s dialed in and I think they’ll be able to run the football as did the Steelers to some degree uh against these Buffalo Bills yeah the Steelers did have success on the ground you’re right um all right Tampa Bay in Detroit we talked about
This game just quickly with Brady we didn’t really get into it too much he had the Lions and teasers and moneyline parlays you know uh Baker Mayfield’s nine and three against the spread this year as an underdog and um he’s been on quite the Run here and it’s not always
Pretty they’re getting 6 and a half but this total is right now it’s at 48 and A2 and you know the Bucks aren’t known for being playing in highs scoring games Paul but I get the feeling that this one could be some points I think you know I
Think Baker and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to surprise people that they’re going to be able to move the ball on Detroit I’m not saying Detroit won’t be able to move the ball on them everybody’s like falling in love with the Lions yeah they won last week they
Didn’t cover for the record right the Rams did Cover the number what’s your take on this because people want to Crown the lion’s ass I think the Bucks are live coming into this game sentimentality does not cash tickets it’s not going to get you rich sentiment is on the side of the Lions
But let me tell you something about the Lions the last four games the leading receivers of the opposition have HED in 40 grabs out of 51 attempts for 741 yards that’s that’s what I’m saying now you got Godwin and and Mike Evans rolling in exactly that’s an average of
15.4 yards and attempt now you got 2,000 yard receivers and also Kate otton against a team that is lousy against the tight ends now they did all right against the Rams why because Higg was injured coming in and they interchanged him with scanic who’s a blocker he only
Has eight catches this year and a guy by the name of Davis Allen a rookie who pulled in two for 28 yards and then and then they clipped Higg low too yeah exactly out yeah it’s a shame because they were very guarded and then he gets hurt but
In the previous games they were carved up by Johnny Mont who was the second leading receiver in that last game of the season this after hackinson got hurt in the two games prior to that uh he had four ceptions for 58 yards in one half and two minutes of football as he got
Injured early in the third quarter so I I’m just saying this is a team not good against the tight end so you have to defend the tight end and you have to defend 2,000 yard receivers and if you look at Tampa or Detroit in the last 10
Games they’ve allowed teams more than 21 and a half points on seven occasions one of those that they did not was against the Broncos totally legit but the other two against Minnesota last game of the season uh Vikings without three offensive linemen Nick Mullen still passes for 393 late turnover it stays
Under the 21 and a half and then you had a situation with Dallas leaving points off the board CD lamb 13 receptions 227 but he fumbled one into the end zone and out uh resulting in a Touchback so I went Tampa Bay team total over here
Leading in into what you like I like points here this Detroit defense is lousy they’re not good and they’re gonna have to outscore Tampa Bay to win this game I think Tampa Bay gets again 23 to 27 points here and uh this turn turn into a track me CAM you like the Lions
Last week they survived they won uh the game what do you think about him this week I like the Bucks I I told you like right now I’m looking at these teams I like I like the Bucks the Packers gave I tell you I’m going to take the points
The Ravens are the one favorite that I like I want the bills as Paul said sentimental it’s not going to pay bills but hey maybe they’ll get some guys back but I do really like the Bucks to cover this number this Is quarterback quarterback we’re going to lay some juice we’re going to have some dog prices we’re going to go right in the middle because I don’t know what they’re doing to me they’re in a complete rebuild Kev go run run run that’s where overb backers on this 51
And a half shot right now we saw a little bit more over money but it’s hovering right around the winner of this game will be the division I don’t care if they win because all we care about is the money baby the money Pro football today it’s smarter to be on Sports
Grid last year the Purdue border makers upset by the 16 seed Fairley Dickinson is history going to repeat itself Purdue is capable of winning six games in the NCAA tournament but the fact is until Purdue proves that it’s capable of not just advancing but advancing far in the
Bracket in March this is going to be the storyl line and I’ve said that to you you throughout the offseason the early line only on Sports grid I really thought the lions were going to blow out the Rams and in the first half I was like all right I got

Montgomery and spear Gibs do a little and that’ll open things up for Jared go newswire only on Sports grid and I tell you what there’s a million in one um coaching vacancies uh right now Brady Cannon is a candidate for the Vegas Raider job like there so
There’s so many jobs available right now NFL teams are coming to the grid uh for for our talent uh so there’s that many head coaching spots available uh right now I’m going to submit my uh my resume Sports rage late night only on Sports grid anyone that’s been to a sporting

From 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Sports Crit this is portr I am Ry let’s do this thing we’re kicking it with Paul B the bigie Eric Cowen is gonna step up and in bills Mafia will be repping um but I do believe this and I love what Paul was talking about with the Travis Kelce it’s almost automatic
Ke U the bills have had a hard time with Kelce as well dealing with him like the bills are weakened over the middle of the field the bills are going to be very concerned about giving up the big play as well the way mcder operates that’s
The way he is he’s going to be worried about giving up the big play they’re going to get killed underneath with the Dink and dunks to Kelsey all day long love the uh the five and a half uh don’t mind the uh the alt at at six and a half
As well one thing I will say Paul about the Buffalo Bills defense with all the with all the injuries at the back end and the linebackers not being great and stuff they’ve suddenly got a pass rush going like S I don’t know what’s going on like Russo out of Miami the Miami
Hurricane he’s suddenly good you know I mean he was always sort of man good play but can you do that again now he he’s like yeah I could do it again and he’s doing it again espanet is a good player like they’ve got their these draft picks from like
Three years ago and stuff that have taken a little while they’re suddenly making plays like they’re getting to quarterbacks they’re very good at batting balls in the air right now as well so it’s gonna be a freaking battle I personally think guys and Paul said it the difference right now
Is the bills as a whole and it’s just there’s a different feeling to this they were entitled before everybody thought they were going to win win and like you know what I mean oh they’re great he’s in commercials and all this he’s got hot girlfriend he’s making $250 million
They’ve been humbled right now it’s like no no no no guys let’s just we gotta win don’t worry about the outside noise and like just win the fing game and Josh Allen right now Paul the guy’s willing to run through a brick wall and I think the players on the team are running
Willing to run through a brick wall for him too I saw Mitch Morris on McAfee show and he said that everybody on the line when Josh ran for the touchdown were yelling at him slide slide get down get down and and he ran for the touchdown and they were all like y great
Job Josh and they they said that happens all the time we’re like no no no no and he does something like a damn Horse
