00:00Chargers Bucks

00:02Something about it. It screams a Lisi game yet. It feels to me

00:07Not one of your favorite games on our slate today. It's not I think we can get points in regards to this matchup

00:13And I do lean to Tampa Bay because I feel now they're a little bit hot

00:17They are at the top of the NFC South

00:19They've won three straight by an average margin of victory of

00:2213.2 points per game struggled a little bit with Las Vegas last week is the six and a half point favorite pull away

00:28Baker throws for

00:30295 they win it by 15 points again

00:32What are you gonna get out of the rushing attack on the road against a very good in my opinion LA Charger defense?

00:38That has stepped up in recent weeks

00:40They went toe-to-toe with Kansas City help at my homes and check couldn't close it out on the road now

00:45They come back home. They're banged up from an offensive perspective lad McConkey

00:50Disley what does that do to the passing attack, but we're sitting at 45 and a half 46 for a total Donny

00:56I do feel Tampa pushes tempo

00:59I like Tampa Bay in the game, but I feel we open it up Herbert and Mayfield maybe

01:04600 650 today you take a look at the ticket count here basis going in Tampa Bay side

01:09You take a look at that line open up at 3 now sitting at 3 still at most outlets at this point the one thing

01:13That makes me nervous if you're backing Tampa Bay

01:15They are littered on the injury report like every single player feels like they're injured at least as a part of that limited practice

01:21Will he practice on Friday Mike Evans coming in this day Sterling Shepherd coming in banged up Bucky Irving banged up coming into this game

01:27He's actually supposed to play today, which I do think helps which is interesting because the one thing I know about the Chargers

01:32They will happily engage you in playing to an under. Oh you want to run the football boy

01:36We love to run the football too and also the concept that I like for Tampa Bay moving towards the playoffs is not so much

01:42I understand Baker Mayfield if he has one drive to get it done. He can do it

01:45He does have a tendency to turn the football over, but they can run the football now

01:49They really can do that and I think if you have both of these teams line up in a perfect world where Ladd McCocky's banged

01:54Up as well and also let's forget Justin Herbert's like 16 injuries himself coming into this one Joe

01:59So I do see the need where you say it's a dome went up to wear up the weather

02:02It's 45 and a half as a number it can go over

02:04But I think if we had a perfect world both of these teams for me Joe would rather play to an under today

02:08It was awesome

02:10Tough the tough cat is a tough one the total beat me up a little bit on the Sunday night or between LA and Kansas

02:16City part of that is

02:19Chiefs inability to play real football games where they're just like no

02:22Let's keep everything in a box and you know like it like stop hunting whatever. I can't even I hate that team

02:28Um, what do you think wins of this game Kev?

02:31So I I think you have what's very interesting Donnie it for me

02:35I feel that McConkie is really important very important because the boxers as banged up as any defense

02:40You know you go to six core comm you can see

02:42The the weaknesses that the box defense has

02:46But all of a sudden if McConkie is not in this game or say McConkie's limited in this game

02:51The Chargers pass catching rooms a piss more and first of all I mean it started the year

02:56Without a lot McConkie's come on incredibly well might not be a hundred percent will Disley started to come on

03:02He's not an option Jalen Rager's atrocious. Well. He's all I'm gonna be out. Yeah, Josh Palmer's the only main weapon

03:09No really the main weapon is listen, I know you'd try and will things into existence it works with Juwan Jennings is Quinton Johnston

03:16But he can't be trusted because he's Quinton Johnston so cinder blocks that like

03:21That's what beats me up a little bit in a game like this where it's like alright perfect Tampa secondaries banked up attack it

03:28With what like you you just get to a very odd spot in a game like this here

03:35I also find

03:36Bakers play a little bit up and down now within those last two games and the turnovers

03:43Two picks in consecutive games, that's where you can drop a game here, so on on the road

03:49I would say unless the books are look we still kind of have these debates of what is home field worth

03:55I feel like the Bucs are getting a lot of respect with this being a flat three Donnie considering all the injuries

04:00Oh, they absolutely are because you're looking at saying okay the charts are a decent football team. They're at home

04:04It's three that's basically what home field advantage is and also you're not getting a completely healthy Bucs team like you're on this game with

04:11Godwin Evans ready to go all three running backs and Baker playing great football and so okay now

04:15It's a little bit different

04:16I just think the tougher task is going to be how this game actually plays out because I do say Joe

04:20I think it plays more to an under but that is a lot of respect anytime you're getting a quality football team at home

04:26And you're going on the road to play them

04:27And you're a field goal or less that shows you're gonna be in this ballgame all the way through yeah

04:31And the turnovers might lead to points right short field

04:34So if Baker is a little bit turnover prony through three touchdowns to two interceptions last week

04:40Maybe Herber can capitalize we saw them run the football effectively would Vidal and Gus Edwards in the second half against, Kansas City

04:47They made adjustments Jim Harbaugh put his team in a position to pull the game out. They just couldn't do it

04:53I just I when I break down this game, and I just look at it, and I understand the injuries

04:59I would see and just feel like this total should be more like 42

05:0443 and a half we're seeing 45 and a half's

05:08That's what's intriguing to me that I'm gonna take a shot and go with the over at 4 o'clock the fact that it's so high

05:14And I think the numbers should be more closer to 42

05:18Something's up in my opinion
