00:02 To bring in kind of some of the other items there though, Donnie,
00:06 we mentioned the Giants were involved with the trade.
00:08 They play in what might be the biggest preseason game of the weekend,
00:12 because it's up against the Jets, of course, MetLife, so
00:15 double home field advantage there.
00:17 The Jets are a six point favorite, partly because Robert Sala has been
00:22 pretty solid throughout his young coaching career in the preseason, but
00:26 there has to be an Aaron Rodgers bump going on right now.
00:31 >> Yes, and also, I don't think this is actually gonna be just a cameo, Kevin,
00:35 for Aaron Rodgers, where it's like a true dress rehearsal.
00:37 Like, let me just put the uniform on, let me warm up, let me take two handoffs,
00:40 let me get a standing ovation, and I'll leave the premises at this point.
00:43 I don't think that's gonna happen.
00:44 So hear me out on this.
00:46 If Aaron Rodgers comes out in the first drive for the New York Jets,
00:48 goes two first downs and they punt, Kevin, he's coming back out there.
00:52 I'm actually looking at this as they're going to keep him out there until
00:55 the Jets score points.
00:57 Now it's, well, it's third quarter, they haven't scored yet.
00:59 Well, then you might have some issues here if you're going up against backups for
01:01 the New York Giants and starters for the New York Jets.
01:04 You might have to recalibrate your thoughts on the actual process that
01:07 the Jets will have in 2023.
01:09 But I'm telling you, I'm thinking we get a really good performance out of the Jets'
01:12 first teamers with Aaron Rodgers and probably a touchdown drive,
01:15 which leads me into the total.
01:17 Sitting here at the FanDuel Sportsbook at 38 and a half points.
01:20 Also, that probably means that, let's just say,
01:22 Aaron Rodgers plays three series in the first quarter.
01:24 Not crazy to think that that couldn't happen, but
01:26 that means Zach Wilson also is going to come in.
01:29 And for the Giants, we know that Daniel Jones isn't going to play.
01:32 Tyron Taylor, he might be the best quarterback to have in the preseason
01:36 if he's going to get some extended minutes or extended looks there.
01:39 I like the over in this game because I do see scoring right off the bat in
01:42 the first half, but the question is always going to be,
01:45 what do we get in the second half?
01:46 Yesterday you saw the Steelers game, hey, 24 points in the first half,
01:49 on our way to an over, nothing in the second half.
01:52 But I do think we get an interesting first half here between the Jets and
01:55 the Giants.
