00:00So, you got football tonight, if you want to call it that, in Canton at the Hall of

00:07Fame game with all the backups playing and guys that more than likely aren't going to

00:12make the team, but at least it's the helmets look like the Bears and Texans playing.

00:20That's what you're tuning in for, Scott.

00:21You're exactly right.

00:22We're tuning in for the uniforms, aren't we?

00:25We're tuning in for the NFL fix, to see, to hear the music, hear a familiar NFL announcer's

00:32voice, hear like the Chicago Bears and the Houston Texans, and then Scott, you know,

00:38they basically use it to light it up, and don't forget Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys

00:41opening Sunday or whatever, you know what I mean?

00:44Every marathon begins with a first step.

00:47This is the first step.

00:49You got to take this first step.

00:50Tonight's the first step.

00:53I used to get really excited for the Hall of Fame games, Scott, like, oh, this is great

00:57stuff and stuff.

00:58And then basically about midway through the first corner of play, you're like, this is

01:02the worst television I've ever watched in my life.

01:04It is.

01:05You're like, I don't know why I was so excited about this.

01:08This is bad.

01:09And you change the channel.

01:10You're like, oh, God, I can't take this anymore, right?

01:13But listen, I'm a big CFL guy, bro.

01:15We have CFL on tonight, big game, BC Lions and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, so I'm more

01:19fired up for that.

01:20But with all that being stated, I'm glad the NFL is back.

01:23And I do love betting on the preseason guys.

01:25There's big preseason advantages at times, but the Hall of Fame game is like the worst

01:30game of the year to bet on.

01:31All right.

01:32These teams just got out of camp.

01:33They don't want to show anybody anything.

01:35It's not like a real preseason game.

01:37Like they don't, you know what I mean?

01:39Like the coaches will chart stuff.

01:40All right.

01:41This one's the real one.

01:42This one's the rehearsal list.

01:43This is like a nothing sort of scrimmage practice, like they don't have a game plan.

01:48They're not playing anybody.

01:50It's really a battle of like four or five guys that are trying to make the team at the

01:54back end on special teams.

01:57And I've heard NFL coaches say out of 53 guys, we already know 50 of them are going to be

02:00on the team.

02:01So it's training camps like for a couple of guys, you know, if they maybe can backdoor

02:05this thing.

02:06But with that being stated, Scott, I think the Chicago Bears, a lot of optimism about

02:10the Bears this year, there's so many new parts and so many new players on the Bears.

02:16I would have liked, if I was them, I would have rolled out Caleb Williams, taking a couple

02:20of snaps, Scott.

02:21He's, you know, if you're scared of him getting hurt, handing the ball off, you got a problem.

02:24So I don't agree with it.

02:26And I find, I think the Texans, Scott, are sort of like the Baltimore Ravens in a way.

02:31I think they're kind of building that sort of, you know what?

02:34Like we're a deep football team.

02:36The Texans have drafted really well over the years, guys.

02:39They do well late in the draft.

02:41They do well with like walk on free agent types.

02:44The Texans actually will have competition going on for jobs on their team because they're

02:48good, right?

02:49The Bears already have everybody and hope they're going to be good.

02:53The Texans have sort of more of an edge to them.

02:56I will note Iberflues is four and one in the preseason.

02:59So the Bears have been good in the preseason in the past two years.

03:02But with all that being stated, I lean with the Texans tonight, but Scott, I like the

03:06under 31 and a half.

03:07I think there's going to be an incredibly dull, boring game and not to mention, bro,

03:13they play, they play in the regular season in week two.

03:18Nobody ain't showing nothing tonight.

03:20They got, they play again next month for real.

03:23Nobody's doing anything tonight besides handing the football off over and over and over and

03:27over again.

03:29So unless there's like a big play here or there, I don't really see how they get to

03:3332 points tonight, Scott, give me the under 31 and a half.

03:37And last thing about this, there's a new kickoff rule in the NFL that even coaches don't understand

03:42that we're going to see tonight for the first time.
