00:00And we do have some big favorites on this slate, including a historic

00:05Favorite that would be your baltimore ravens. Oh showing up here in new jersey of all places

00:13Playing 16 and a half the goal to be laying such a number

00:19on the road

00:21in the nfl

00:22I mean drs. This is this is too many points. Exactly. Yep

00:2717 now showing up at 365 right now

00:30So you're push we are pushing it north here

00:33And as joe was talking in the break was like only an idiot would end up taking a team like the giants in this game

00:38With the points at this point, so we'll see how it goes out. But if you are just breaking this football game down

00:43So many points on the road and it's not college football

00:46Like I like to say joe it's like you know what we have to impress the pollsters here

00:50If you win by two, of course, your fans are going to be upset. That's ridiculous

00:53Out but when is enough is enough

00:55Is it the baltimore ravens just need to put their pedal down to the metal one final time here down the stretch and say?

01:01You know what? We lost some games. We shouldn't have lost now. It's time to get back

01:04You hear lamar jackson talking repeatedly. We don't care about anything, but the giants game coming up this week

01:09You have a running back that should smash and run downhill

01:12But how do you get up for a game like this on the road and say we got to win by three touchdowns?

01:15Yeah, it's it's a tough ask right 17 17 and a half depending upon you know as we inch closer to game time

01:21But you have a dead team in the new york giants 2 and 11

01:24Overall, they've lost eight straight games cav. They're winless at home

01:28Yeah, I liked them last week and the reason why I liked them last week was again

01:32You had an interim coach with a team that was under 500 and the giants in terms of how I think they viewed it

01:38Is hey, we can get a home win

01:41Finally, they're not looking at this game today with lamar jackson and derrick henry

01:46Certainly that has a prop of over 100 yards in terms of this matchup and say we're gonna win this game now

01:52I think maybe from the offensive perspective tommy cutlets can maybe put up some points

01:58Better than the 11 that they had last week with drew luck

02:02The more I think about it the more I think baltimore is the right side. I will say I think the over is in play

02:0841 and a half 42 even though the giants might not have to do all that much

02:14Baltimore might get that on their own today

02:16The ravens will not cover for one second of this game. They will not cover for one second of this football game

02:23I've seen this movie a thousand times

02:26The baltimore ravens. Oh, but they're off a bye lamar's two and two and six against the number following a bye week

02:32Terrible on the spot lamar's a huge favorite. You you know that he's gonna nope. He's a taste

02:39Terrible against the number when he's laying over a touchdown

02:42He's worse than my homes to put that into perspective brian dable has been

02:47Almost unbeatable against the spread without daniel jones as his quarterback did it again last week covering that game with drew lock

02:56He beat the baltimore ravens beat with daniel jones

03:01Just a few years ago the the baltimore ravens

03:05Are being priced like the best team in football

03:09They have lost

03:11Five games they have the same record as the seahawks. This is a preposterous

03:18Number there's nothing baltimore has done to earn laying this type of number here against the new york

03:25John, no, you're right. They're eight and five. I get that but what I do see is they're coming out of a bye week

03:31Right, they're fighting for playoff position and they see a team that could be dead and buried

03:36And you know players love to put up numbers you you're telling me derrick henry's not licking his chops today

03:42Potentially to get 200 yards on this defense. I mean if

03:46What if you're if you're back in new york?

03:49What do you feel comfortable with from a point perspective to say I have this is it 17?

03:55Is it 20?

03:57Because I I I think if the giants do start to score

04:00I think baltimore just blows them out of the water. I think they could they could win this game by 30

04:05I again, I don't know. I've i've seen this all the time

04:09Don't be surprised at the giants for up at half

04:12Again, people think that this is just it's a magic wand you turn on and you run

04:16The ravens haven't been playing good football for a little while now

04:20You look you look at their last month of football games. They should have lost to cincinnati. They lost to pittsburgh

04:26They were down big to the chargers and they lost to the philadelphia eagles all teams. Obviously

04:32Universe is better than the giants

04:34This isn't seven and a half. No, it's not ten and a half

04:3817 it's an nfl game. No, you're right. You're right

04:42I just think though like the perception right just if you want to take the public better and they see 17 points

04:48Outside the tri-state area. I'll take a shot. I'll take the 17

04:52I think and then and then you turn it on and it's 24 to nothing in the first quarter

04:57By halftime and then you're like you got no shot

05:00I look at that total and say 43 and a half if this game goes over

05:04I think baltimore absolutely drills them if this game stays under I think there's a legitimate chance that the giants hang around and also

05:10You're talking about saving your job and saving general manager's jobs

05:14So the players don't really say like hey, I want to save dable's job or to save joe shane's job

05:18But it's up to that coaching staff to say look we're about to get fired here. What looks better?

05:23Hey, you know, we slowed the game down

05:24We lost 17 to 3 which would be a cover at this spot and baltimore will be happy at that game or oh

05:30We just got blitzed

05:3246 to 21 you still got absolutely destroyed. So for me as a game saving I don't want to get embarrassed anymore

05:39I think the giants mo has to be to hand the football off and just hope they can pick up first downs to slow this

05:44Football game down and hope that there's not a ton of opportunities on the other side for the ravens

05:48So just from a giants perspective and if you are taking the giants that game better stay under 43 and a half points
