00:00Donnie, you want to talk about what the lines are telling you, though?

00:05Yes. People can't stop that in Miami.

00:08I'm just saying, five and a half, six and a half, and then crashing on down.

00:14We're seeing flat fours in the market now here.

00:17Again, I had a silly dream, apparently, that I was going to get plus seven

00:22with Miami in this spot. Well, six and a half early in the week.

00:26So I was a half point away.

00:28Now I'm closer to three. He's indignant over that.

00:31I thought you were going to get seven.

00:33It was six and a half on the drive-in. Trust me, I was excited.

00:36Yeah, there you go.

00:37Push the Seattle number. It doesn't exist.

00:40I know we'll get to him a little bit in crunch from Tyreek Hill numbers here.

00:44How does Miami hang in this game, John?

00:46Again, I think they're going to have to run the football

00:48the way they did to take the pressure off.

00:49But you still have to stretch that defense over the top.

00:52I mean, if New England could put up 20 on that defense,

00:55you got to believe Miami could at least duplicate that on the road.

00:58I believe that you got to implement Waddle.

01:01You have to utilize Hill.

01:03I don't like the game from the side perspective.

01:05I do not believe in regards to the Miami front seven

01:09until they could show me they could shut down the run.

01:11I can't back Miami on the road, especially in that stadium.

01:14What I can do, though, and it's going down now, 41 and a half, 42.

01:19I think we get points here.

01:20I really think that that's the way to play this game, because again,

01:24you have Gino. He's hitting on all cylinders.

01:26I expect Charbonnet and the rushing attack to take over.

01:29And you have Hill and Waddle on the field and Skyler, who's mobile points.

01:34Tell me something's going to come up in just a few moments here.

01:37And I got some pretty active situations here in this game,

01:39because I do think you're going to have to get creative

01:41if you're the Miami Dolphins.

01:42But sometimes you can just lay at the feet of the ground game.

01:44You're going into a tough home field environment.

01:46Also, is Halsey playing good football?

01:482-0 now, and they've already showed a younger quarterback

01:51coming into their building.

01:52They can handle with Bo Nix on game number one.

01:54Now, Thompson has been around the NFL.

01:56He is a veteran. He's had made some starts before.

01:58Yes, he looked terrible in that game coming in and relief him for the bills.

02:01But you don't even have anything game plan.

02:03You're not expected to even be in that game.

02:04Now he's had a week to prepare for this game.

02:06Too healthy, wide out some of the best in football.

02:08I expect him to be OK.

02:09And when I say that, I'm not sure they can win this game.

02:12But you're right about that.

02:13Five and a half, dropping the four and a half.

02:15And you take a look at the ticket count here.

02:16It is towards Seattle's favor.

02:17I don't think anybody in the right mind goes like, yep,

02:19this is a great week for Miami.

02:20But if this is the week you have a surprise attack

02:22where the other team theoretically doesn't know what you're going to do

02:25on offense, McDaniel can do that today.

02:26You do sometimes get look at spots like Skyler.

02:29This is correct.

02:30He also Seattle's linebacker core continues to be banged up.

02:33And Zach Charberting is just not as good as Ken Walker,

02:35which limits some of Seattle's explosiveness here.
