00:00We're going to get a new look team apparently tonight with the New York Jets.

00:10Now, I will say this, historically speaking, there are a lot of things working in the Jets'

00:14favor tonight.

00:15Number one, they're a home dog on Monday Night Football, which we know is amazing.

00:18And the second part of this is that, Vinny, as long as I can remember, betting on sports

00:23and the history of sports, when a team fires the coach, the players show up that week.

00:28It may be a Band-Aid, and it may be temporary.

00:30We saw the same thing last year when Pierce got hired by the Raiders, and we've seen it

00:33throughout the years.

00:35Coach gets fired, new guy comes in, players are like, see, that's the reason why we didn't

00:39play well.

00:40It wasn't us.

00:41I don't know.

00:42I expect the same thing to happen tonight, Vinny.

00:44I just can't go against the historic trend here.

00:47But the bill's now down to one and a half point favorites.

00:50They opened up as almost three point favorites.

00:52Some spot this is even one.

00:53It could be a pick-em by the time the game goes off tonight.

00:57Yeah, it's not only just the change from Robert Sala and Jeff Ulbrich, but also changing the

01:02play caller for Aaron Rodgers, which is significant here because Todd Downing has a history of

01:07wanting to use the running backs more, going back to Derrick Henry and the Titans, which

01:12is aligning with what you need to do against the Bills.

01:15You've got to run.

01:16They've been at 75 to 80 percent passing, which should not be happening with Brees Hall

01:22and Braylon Allen in the backfield.

01:24I would think there's an overcorrection there with their scheme.

01:28The Bills not only struggle to stop the run, they also struggle in coverage against running

01:33backs.

01:34I would expect them to feed the running backs a lot this week, really take pressure off

01:38Aaron Rodgers from throwing deep because that's what the matchup dictates.

01:41That's what the philosophy of the new coordinator says.

01:44It all aligns beyond the inspiration of playing under a new head coach.
