00:00All right, so week 10 starts tonight in Baltimore, as we've been talking about.

00:08It's Joey Silk and the Bengals go to see the Ravens and Lamar and King Henry.

00:14Yes, it is.

00:16Week number 10.

00:18Down the stretch we come.

00:19We hit double digits in the NFL season.

00:22Feels like we just started.

00:23It sucks, because that means we're getting close to the end, which is never good either.

00:27Bengals and the Ravens.

00:28Believe it or not, it was almost a year ago to the day that the Bengals and Ravens played

00:35on Thursday Night Football in Baltimore, and the Bengals season effectively ended.

00:41It was when Burrow hurt his wrist, Scotty.

00:43Almost a year ago to the day on Thursday Night Football.

00:46So how convenient of the NFL schedule makers to put this game almost in the same exact

00:52spot for Joey Silk.

00:54He took notes.

00:55Run it back.

00:57I think they like to, if a star player gets hurt in a primetime game, they like to schedule

01:03the same exact game on the same exact week on the same exact time the year later.

01:07I think that happened to Aaron Rodgers this year, happened to me this year.

01:11So I think that's something they like to do.

01:14So I think you can probably expect that.

01:15Is he as killed as you are, does this game mean anything extra to you?

01:20Interdivisional opponents always mean a lot, and especially where we are right now, point

01:27of the year, playing Baltimore, it's a big game.

01:32I think he's really good at his job, and he's really good at doing these interviews.

01:39He's, you know, I'm not into the whole fashion drip and red carpets and movie star stuff

01:47and galas and no back on his suit.

01:53I'm not into all that, but I think he's really good at what he does, and he can definitely

01:59play, and he's been a big time guy in football in college.

02:07It doesn't get any bigger than what he pulled off at LSU, and then he went to the Super

02:11Bowl and lost because his coach is a moron.

02:15He should have won that Super Bowl.

02:16I honestly believe if they would have thrown the ball to Higgins again, he'd already caught

02:21two.

02:22If he, you know, the guy's six foot five, throw him the ball, and instead this guy Taylor

02:29butchered that.

02:30I think, I honestly believe Burrow thinks that his coach butchered his ring, that he

02:36had a chance for a ring.

02:37If you know what I would have done if I were him, honestly, I swear to God, I would have.

02:41I would have, I would have just winged it.

02:44I would have thrown it to him anyway.

02:45I would have not listened to the coach and his play calling.

02:47I would have dropped back and thrown him ball and won the game, and then he would have said

02:51what to him?

02:52Nothing.

02:53Because his calls were horrible in that game.

02:56That coach cost them the Super Bowl.

02:58He really did.

02:59I mean, let's get real.

03:01If you let that kid run things, that quarterback, they win, and they do that now.

03:07Like he's the only guy that matters.

03:09He and Chase, that's it, right?

03:11Like I know Hutch and everything.

03:14Really beyond that, what is there?

03:15There's nothing.

03:16Yeah.

03:17I mean, listen, Higgins is really good, but he doesn't play.

03:21He's been out basically all year.

03:23He's missing the game again tonight.

03:25So they don't have a lot in terms of the season.

03:27He's so out of there, it's not even funny, Higgins.

03:31And he's going to be gone anyway, as you say, after the season.

03:34So that's for sure.

03:35Ravens on the other side, of course, six and three heading into tonight.

03:40Here is John Harbaugh.

03:41Is it a little bit easier when you have a divisional opponent that you know so well

03:46on a Thursday night game?

03:47It definitely feels different on a short week for any opponent.

03:51I like the fact that you play a team that you have a little more familiarity with.

03:56But that's a two-edged sword, too, because they have a lot of familiarity with us.

04:01So every game is different.

04:03Every game is unique.

04:04You just kind of take it as it comes, attack the circumstances as they present themselves.

04:10And that's what we'll try to do and do our best.

04:12Listen, the advantage is that they get to play on a short week at home.

04:20And then the other thing is, his brother is just so much more entertaining than he is.

04:24It's not even funny.

04:27Yeah, we got another good one for him later here today on Coast to Coast.

04:33Every chance we get, we run him.

04:36He fills the bucket, that's for sure.

04:39This has moved a little bit since yesterday.

04:42Yesterday it was 6.5 and 53.5.

04:45Today 5.5 for the Ravens, and totaled down 1.52.5 from the 53 yesterday.

04:53So a little bit of movement a couple hours before kickoff.

04:56Yeah, well, I already did these bets.

04:59So I got them at 6.5, and we already did the over yesterday.

05:04So what do you think, I wait around for more blood to spill?

05:10Here, let me wait until a couple hours before the game and see how hard I can take it in the chin.

05:15Honestly, people that wait till these last seconds before games to big bets,

05:21I mean, it's the kiss of death.

05:24It really is.

05:24It is.

05:25You are running a risk.

05:26But if you want the Ravens, now you got yourself an extra point that you don't

05:30have to give up with that 5.5.

05:32So you have that working for you too.

05:33I gave you the borough trend yesterday.

05:37Let me give you a couple of things with Lamar.

05:39Now, Lamar is a big favorite, believe it or not, Scotty, has not been that great.

05:46Here you go for Lamar Jackson.

05:47As a favorite of six or more, 5, 14, and 1.

05:55That is 28% over the past four seasons for Lamar Jackson.

06:01Not the best numbers.

06:02And I'll give you this as well on the flip side.

06:05Five and one straight up and four and two against the spread against Joey Silk.

06:10So a lot of trends with Lamar and with borough heading into this game.

06:14Well, look, so I'm glad I got six and a half because that right there says he

06:18doesn't cover anything six or more.

06:20So six in the hook hopefully gives me money.

06:26Like same thing we had Tampa at nine and the over.

06:30Scared to bet against the Chiefs.

06:33Scared to bet against the Ravens.

06:35But that's just too many points for my blood with a great quarterback.

06:38I always base it on who you're dealing with.

06:41When you're talking about a number, who are you dealing with?

06:43You're dealing with borough and borough is going to play four quarters and he is going to sling it

06:49as many times as he's got to to win that game.

06:53They need that game.

06:54You know, frankly, in my opinion, they need it worse than the Ravens.

06:57The Ravens don't need that.

06:59They're fine.

07:00They're going to the playoffs.

07:01People have them win in the Super Bowl.

07:03That they're going to the AFC title game as sure as the sun comes up.

07:06So I think it's more of a necessity for the Bengals.

07:11And I think he's going to sling it all night.

07:14We'll see if he gets it done.

07:15I mean, stranger things have happened.

07:16He could go lay an egg.

07:18Five and five is a lot different than four and six.

07:22If they were to lose, there's a big difference between five and five and four and six.

07:27Most bet player props for tonight.

07:29Henry to score.

07:30Now remember, Henry has scored.

07:32Well, this is Henry.

07:33First touchdown is actually the most bet at plus 325.

07:36Henry has scored a touchdown in every game this year and 10 in a row going back to last year.

07:41Chase to score is number two.

07:42Henry over 18 and a half, his longest rush Lamar over nine and a half rushing attempts

07:48and Jamar Chase over 81 and a half receiving yards.

07:50He has historically had huge games against the Baltimore Ravens.

07:55He's done very well against them.

07:57Do you think Lamar Jackson is going to run it 10 times with his knee and back

08:01that he's had problems with?

08:05Uh, I don't think that I don't think that will be the game plan going into tonight.

08:10Could that change if they're down in the second half?

08:14Yes.

08:15I think that he will move.

08:17I think you're making that wager.

08:18If you think the Ravens are going to be in a close game or down in the second half,

08:23because he will be doing some scrambling at that point.

08:26If they're up, he ain't going to be running.

08:28Uh, he can be handed off to Henry.

08:30He's going to be throwing it.

08:31They're going to keep him out of harm's way, but he likes to do his own thing.

08:35Uh, if he, if he needs to.

08:37So I would be careful with that.

08:39How about the tutties, uh, for tonight?

08:41First touchdown.

08:43We're going to Mark Andrews for this one.

08:4511 to one plus two 20 by himself to make sure you go there.

08:50I'm with Chase Brown, even money to score Lamar plus one 70.

08:54And Isovas plus two 70.

08:57This kid, uh, Andre Isovas, Scotty, you know, that he's with Higgins, not in the lineup.

09:01He's caught a lot of touchdowns this year from burrow,

09:04including a couple against the Ravens earlier this year.

09:06I'm in on him at a very nice price.

09:09And he gets Saki.

09:10Isn't he in on this too?

09:12We can get your Saki.

09:13I believe he's in the three hundreds.

09:15Uh, we could get your Saki.

09:16No, Henry.

09:20I can't pay two 70.
