00:00teams that surprised the most last year, a surprising playoff

00:02appearance, maybe not a surprising playoff victory. I

00:05think a lot of people liked them against the Eagles. I didn't,

00:08but like, that's fine. Like they were surprised he and Baker

00:09Mayfield almost one comeback player of the year. They're

00:12interesting. Their win total is basically like seven and a half,

00:15but juiced to the moon over. So essentially, like you, I'd be

00:18shopping for eights. I like the under on them. This is a bet

00:21that I like on a lot this year. Because again, if I take, there's

00:25a lot of ways to approach this, but we'll just continue the

00:27exercise because it's fun. And it's easy. You take the three

00:29criteria. Okay. Like, can you pull up the threads of the three

00:32criteria with Tampa to think maybe they're going to have a

00:35worse season than they had the previous year. So first of all,

00:38they were bottom half of the league in all of these three

00:39areas and kind of won nine games despite that. So already you're

00:43like kind of off to a rocky start here where they're not

00:45good at any of the things then passing attack. Okay. Could I

00:49pull up the thread of that? Uh, yeah, Dave can Alice isn't there

00:51anymore. That's how I do that. I just pulled that and Mike Evans

00:54at some point, you would think maybe the performance dips a

00:57little bit again in year 12, year 13, whatever it is like

01:00canalysis, a much easier case to make, but just worth noting,

01:03it's a lot of pressure on aging players. Offensive line worse is

01:08awesome. But the rest of the group isn't great. They drafted

01:11a center, he probably needs to be pretty good in order for this

01:14to hold up. Their offensive line ratings last year weren't

01:16particularly good. Edge Shaq Barrett off that like doesn't

01:20play for them anymore. It just it's really interesting. And he

01:23was by far their highest rated edge last year. Now they have

01:25young players who can like grow into roles and they drafted

01:28well. And so there's upside. It's not like that's just dead.

01:32But if I had to pick like, is there a team with a mid win

01:36total that I think could be like bottom 10 in all three things

01:39next year? They're like a really good answer to that question

01:43that they could be bottom 10 and all those three things pretty

01:45easily. And the win total is essentially eight. And they're

01:48only like a minus high one price to miss the playoffs. It does it

01:53strikes me as very interesting. They're interesting to me. And

01:56I think I'd rather bet on Todd Bowles to go back to being bad

01:58again than what happened last year.

02:00And I think just like an on field conceptualization of that

02:03and I just want to focus on Tampa pass rush and Ken saying

02:05you know, Shaq Barrett's not there anymore. Like the pass

02:08rushers on paper you will look at and will not inspire a ton of

02:10confidence and maybe they can be good. But let's just say that

02:13they're not right. We know what Todd Bowles is going to do to

02:15try and get at the opposing quarterback. He's gonna blitz a

02:17million guys like that's kind of like what Todd Bowles does. And

02:20if you can't get home, you are going to get absolutely wrecked

02:24like your defense is going to get annihilated if that's the

02:27case.
