00:00We'll start off with the Tennessee Titans and Will Leavis, the Titans seem to be, George,

00:10one of those anonymous teams going into the season, we just really don't talk about them

00:13all that much.

00:14I wonder if there's any value on this, two 38 and a half is his quarterback prop going

00:20into Sunday.

00:21He's hit this at times, he's gone way over this, by the way, at times.

00:25I know Tennessee would like to run the ball, right, George, they'd like to run the ball

00:29with Tony Pollard, I don't know if they're going to be able to do it.

00:31New coach, this is not Vrabel anymore, boy, I don't know if that means, I got to go with

00:38more known quantities than I can with a Will Leavis in game one.

00:42He may do it, I don't know, but to me, it's a pass.

00:46Oh yeah, last year he played eight games, he went over this total three times.

00:52So Chicago Bears are a good defense, you know, while DeAndre Hopkins is questionable at best,

00:59his injury looks worse than we think for Hopkins, by the way.

01:01I'm not liking this, I'm not liking this at all here.

01:06I think the jury is out, if Leavis is actually a franchise quarterback or not, I'm not sure

01:12yet.

01:13I think they will get a lot of run at Apollo and Spears on Sunday, let these guys control

01:17the offense.

01:18I don't expect much from Hopkins.

01:19I'll tell you right now, if you have Hopkins on your roster, I'd sit him, I would not start

01:23him.

01:24I assume you could do better here.

01:25Ridley, we'll see what he can be his first year in this offense.

01:28Oh, by the way, here's Tyler Boyd, all right, so he could be your number two on Sunday.

01:32Trelon Burks looks like a big time bust for the team here.

01:35No, I'm not liking the Titans much on Sunday at all.

01:39I don't see them being able to win any kind of shootout game, by the way.

01:42I think for them, the win has to be sort of, once again, another 24-20 game, something

01:45like that, where they squeak it out, but defense plays well and they keep Caleb Williams off

01:49the field here.

01:50No, I'd go the under here if I was going to bet him.

01:52Under?

01:53Okay, fair enough.

01:54We haven't got the lowest total yet, and again, we haven't got a Pittsburgh quarterback

01:58yet.

01:59Maybe this is the only one that would go lower.

02:00Probably not, actually.

02:01202.5 is Jacoby Brissett's number, minus 113 is the total.

02:08The only thing that I could say about this game in particular, I know what everyone's

02:12predicting, George, is that the Bengals are the biggest favorite of anybody going into

02:17Sunday.

02:18I don't know if they're still 8.5, but that's what it was like two days ago.

02:22The only thing that I could say is that week one sometimes shocks people.

02:26Expect the unexpected, and I know that dogs of seven or more have this incredible cover

02:31rate in week one, like 70% or something insane, which no one's ever hitting 70% of anything

02:36in sports betting.

02:37So, you know, I'm going to lean a little toward the over, just because this is so low for

02:43a quarterback, and they don't have a running back, per se, to me that's going to rush for

02:49100 yards.

02:50So, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of scenarios to me.

02:53I mean, George, what if Jacoby Brissett has 160 yards going into the fourth quarter, and

03:00Cincinnati, I'm painting a picture here, and Cincinnati is up 19-3, which is possible.

03:05What is Brissett going to do on that drive?

03:07Throw, throw, throw, throw, throw.

03:08It may not be a lot.

03:09I mean, I got to lean over here.

03:11Even though I don't like him at all, and I think he's probably bottom two quarterback

03:15in the NFL, this is just so low for me.

03:17I got to at least lean that way.

03:20It's down to seven and a half, by the way, since you asked, so it's breaking down a point

03:25without Tee.

03:27I mean, I can see a scenario once again.

03:29We know, I don't think Tee's playing.

03:30Chase, I don't know if he's going to show up there.

03:33My guess is yes, but I don't feel great about it.

03:35This is about New England.

03:36I can see a game where they're not worried.

03:38The window's like, oh, listen, we're going to play this close to the vest.

03:41We don't want Judge Coyne to make a mistake here, all right, we don't want to turn the

03:43ball over.

03:44It's too low.

03:45I think this is a snoozer game.

03:49A snoozer game here where they're going to play boring football, and hey, we'll see where

03:54we are in the fourth quarter here.

03:56So I'm not taking the under either.

03:58It's too low, but I'm not touching.

04:00The bottom line is this, Craig.

04:01I don't want to watch this game, okay?

04:03I want to stay away from it.

04:04I can't play a Joe Burrow game.
