00:00it's something for me, Brad is off with this game. I've talked about this all week long. I'm not

00:04sure why Seattle is only three and a half point favorites against arguably bottom two or three

00:10team in the NFL over the last two months. I know the Bears started off the season okay and with

00:15some promise, but Brad they've been so bad and the only times they're scoring points are late

00:20in the game when they're down three touchdowns. We're hearing stories all you know about Pete

00:25Carroll wanting to coach the Bears. I mean obviously everybody knows this scenario with

00:29this. What am I missing with this game? Why is how can I back Seattle looking at this line? This

00:36line to me should say four, four and a half, five instead three and a half going into tonight. What

00:40gives? Yeah this line feels pretty uh pretty trappy right? Like you you think about the Bears

00:45like you said they haven't been playing great. I think they'll even in a situation where they had

00:49the new coach booster like the only team in the NFL to get a new coach boost and actually not

00:53covering that game. Seattle hasn't been very good as well like their running game has been

00:59up and down with uh Kenneth Walker being banged up. Charbonnet has been looked good in some sense,

01:03but uh you know when you take out a guy with that kind of uh talent and you put in anybody

01:08doesn't matter who the replacement is levels are going to be um kind of inconsistent. That's why

01:13you have that's what you have with those uh those backups, but I went with a player prop. I thought

01:17this line was insane so when I first did it over it was 67 and a half. It's up to 69 and a half

01:22which is totally fine. That's Jackson Smith and Jigba over 69 and a half receiving yards. He's hit

01:29this he's hit this in seven and eight straight games at 67 and a half. It was eight straight

01:34games. He's been the man and what I mean that by that he's getting the targets uh when they played

01:39against the the Vikings and losing scripts and the Green Bay Packers and losing scripts. 12 targets

01:43in each of those games 95 and 83 yards respectively, but even in the games where he hasn't had a ton of

01:49targets, he's still getting those 25 24 yard catches. He went five for five for 82 against

01:54the Cardinals four for four for 74 against the Jets and then six for seven uh for 77 against the

02:01Arizona Cardinals again. He has been the man and you know you can kind of see him growing into his

02:07own when he came to the NFL. He was a little banged up right and he had sat on an entire year almost

02:13at Ohio State, but now it looks like he's fully flourishing in his role with the Seahawks. I like

02:18all right over on JSN who's going to be the number one guy I think in Seattle as soon as next year.
