00:03 As we got the next game up, the nightcap for Sunday night.

00:07 It was the LA Rams at the Detroit Lions.

00:09 And the Lions went off as the three point home favorite,

00:14 53 was the closing total.

00:16 So the game landed near both the total and the side.

00:20 And full disclosure here, guys, we were watching this game in game live earlier.

00:25 And Mark had the team total of the Rams up and over 23 and a half.

00:31 And I had the Detroit Lions minus three.

00:35 Our producer Frank also had the Rams on the money line.

00:39 So all of those obviously not correlated.

00:42 You would think one of us is going to win the bet.

00:45 No, it landed in a spot where all three of us lost.

00:49 So you might be able to hear it in our voices.

00:53 None of us very happy about the ending of this game.

00:55 The Rams go down in the Motor City 24 to 23.

01:00 However, they cover the number of three as the underdog.

01:04 The game stays under 53.

01:06 Mark Zeno, throw it over to you, man.

01:09 Overall thoughts on the Sunday nightcap here, Rams going down to the Lions.

01:13 >> I hope every single hair on Sean McVay's head falls out tonight.

01:18 That's what I hope.

01:18 Disgusting play calling in the red zone.

01:22 Just absolute, just it was a live abortion of play calling in the red zone

01:26 by Sean McVay tonight.

01:28 It's unreal.

01:29 Just the smartest guy in the room syndrome.

01:32 I can't even express words.

01:34 I'm so flabbergasted at what I watched tonight from that man in the red zone.

01:40 Three trips and three field goals, couldn't get one damn touchdown.

01:44 And it cost his team a damn game, a playoff game no less,

01:47 that they should have won because they played better.

01:49 Stupid coaching.

01:51 I mean, it's impossible to handicap in the NFL when a coach decides to be a moron

01:57 repeatedly, and he was a moron three times in a red zone tonight.

02:00 I mean, he threw a fade to Cooper Cup.

02:05 Just who's running that play anymore?

02:10 It's not 2001, it's 2023, 24, whatever freak year it is.

02:16 Just God, just awful play calling all around.

02:20 Just every time, first down, and just dive straight ahead right into a wall of guys.

02:24 Yep, we'll just waste the whole down.

02:26 Why not?

02:26 Sick to my stomach.

02:31 Absolute sick to my stomach.

02:32 >> Yeah, it is a tough one all around.

02:37 >> 100% right handicap, right side, wrong result.

02:41 And it was only a wrong result.

02:43 I would have rather the refs have screwed me than that.

02:45 >> Or a kicker maybe, right?

02:50 Drew, don't start.

02:51 >> [LAUGH] No, the coaching handicap, you're right.

02:55 It's very difficult.

02:56 >> And then it's 24, 23, they get to the edge of field goal range.

03:02 It's third and four, and the moron tackle gets called for holding.

03:07 Because all you had to do then, if you wanted to be a conservative moron,

03:10 Sean McVay, on third and four at the edge of field goal range,

03:14 is run straight ahead, that dive that you would love to do.

03:18 And if you don't get the first down, put your idiot kicker on the field and

03:21 take the lead.

03:21 Freaking coaching, man, it's just unreal.

03:27 I wanna be conservative at the five yard line, but

03:29 I don't wanna be conservative at the 45 yard line.

03:31 It's ridiculous.
