spk_0 Literally five minutes ago, I wrote down my bets and I'm already seeing one of the lines has changed.
spk_0 I mean, that's how fast these things happen.
spk_0 So that's how critical it is for you to make sure you're listening or watching as soon as you possibly can.
spk_0 We go over our bets from the week before always so you can check our work and you can know exactly where we stand before we get into our bets for weeks six in the NFL already.
spk_0 By we, I mean he Steve Bezik.
spk_0 He's a two-time winner of the super contest out there in Vegas.
spk_0 You can you can and should check him out on social media at Bezik Sports.
spk_0 I'm Ross Tucker former NFL offensive lineman. Now I get chance to call games the broadcaster. I love it.
spk_0 You can follow me at Ross Tucker NFL. Follow us at Ross Tucker pod. Steve it was a very, very strange week.
spk_0 How strange.
spk_0 I went five and oh, a T S five and oh, a T S yet was down two point two units for the week.
spk_0 Because of what happened with the under in the UK game with the Vikings and the Browns and then two of our four teaser legs did not come through.
spk_0 Giants turned the ball over five straight times.
spk_0 So even though we were getting seven and a half points, they lose by more than that.
spk_0 They had a 14 three or 14 three lead. So we were up 21 and a half to three essentially.
spk_0 And the Giants blew that. And then the Arizona Cardinals and we'll get to this.
spk_0 Might have had the worst loss I've ever seen an NFL team have that they really might have had the single worst loss we've seen an NFL team have.
spk_0 We start though with the Niners and the Rams. Neither one of us had any bet on that one.
spk_0 You leaned Ram Steve laying the five and a half because the Niners were so banged up. They won it outright.
spk_0 Vikings Browns. We both put one unit on the Browns that came through because they were getting four and a half and they lost by four.
spk_0 The under 36 and a half somehow Carson Wentz leads the Vikings with that banged up offensive line against the Browns defense 80 yards for the game winning touchdown.
spk_0 To win the game 21 17 ends up going 38. That was tough. I am surprised that there was that many points scored in that game.
spk_0 Dylan Gabriel a little better than I thought. I'm surprised the Vikings let him run the ball that well with Judkins.
spk_0 And I was not expecting the Vikings to score 21 points with that banged up O'Line against the Browns.
spk_0 Yeah, the main takeaway. That's why we tape on Tuesday morning. We got the plus four and a half the good number.
spk_0 I liked it so much I put it in on teasers non-wong teasers coaching matters O'Connell from the Wildcat touchdown pass.
spk_0 That was the difference in the game sharp coach with a sharp trick play seven extra points.
spk_0 Killed her under and that is what allowed the Vikings to win that game.
spk_0 Raiders Colts I lean to the Colts laying the six and a half we try to have leans even if it's not an official play.
spk_0 So that you guys that want to play more games can go with our leans we both lean the Colts.
spk_0 They didn't just cover they annihilated the Raiders.
spk_0 40 to 6. Here's what's crazy. Steve put two units on the over saying that the Colts are a dead over team.
spk_0 The Raiders only scored six points. Steve the Colts scored 40 points. I think at one point they scored six straight touchdowns and guess what?
spk_0 If their kicker never gets hurt you're over hits. I mean I understand why people lose their mind betting Steve because this was that kind of weekend.
spk_0 Their kicker gets hurt they have to go for two otherwise you're over 47 and a half hits.
spk_0 The Raiders were in the red zone four times I think. But hey the loss on that pales compared to what happened with Arizona we'll get to that.
spk_0 Alright Saints Giants we had the Giants both of us as a teaser leg best bet up to seven half and the Giants totally blew it five straight drives a turnovers five straight hard to believe.
spk_0 Texans Ravens we both liked the Texans because we didn't think Lamar Jackson was going to play.
spk_0 We got the Texans how about this this is why you should listen or watch the show. Steve and I got the Texans plus three and a half last Tuesday morning knowing very well how banged up they were but everybody else didn't realize it yet.
spk_0 They won 44 to 10 two big units for both of us Steve.
spk_0 Yeah getting in front of the injuries very important and I already have Dr. Chow's injury disparity numbers so great that to use that information early in the week.
spk_0 As a reminder by the way we get a chance to talk to Dr. Chow every Thursday when Steve also does his prop bets we talk about the line moves and we give out a couple parles every single week.
spk_0 We do this show twice a week so if you're not subscribed you're doing it wrong you can always see the bets in black and white.
spk_0 Patreon dot com slash RT media you can see the incredible spreadsheet our guy grades puts together and this episode is presented by six score dot com.
spk_0 That's where Dr. Chow and the folks at sports injury central put all their bets six score dot com up over 56% since they started making bets based solely on the available injury information.
spk_0 We both liked the Broncos Steve that was another best bet that came through for us Broncos were getting four and a half they want to outright two units for me one unit for you so we did good on our best bets that was three of the best bets
spk_0 ATS that came through the total in the London game did not jets cowboys you put two units on the jets getting the three points as I told you Steve I just couldn't do it and the jets showed why.
spk_0 And the jets closed the favorite but they shouldn't have been the favorite so we're way ahead of what the closing line value a bottom line is you know in economics there's a there's a term you can't ignore costs in the past when you do an economic evaluation the jets have no ability they they will not succeed under Glenn that was just a bad hire.
spk_0 And you know it's just sometimes I just see things one play that's all I need to see the jets fourth and one and here comes the stupid jumbo backfield package and fields is running around for his life every good coach knows fourth and one you split out three wide receivers Ross they got a cover on and then seven against eight there's always an opening I don't know why the bad coaches don't understand this.
spk_0 Panthers dolphins we had the dolphins as a teaser leg up to seven and a half that was one of the teaser legs that hit for us thankfully box see hawks you put two units on the see hawks Steve laying three at home they just can't play at home for some reason I don't know what their deal is they played fine they put Milro their their
spk_0 rookie quarterback in a promptly turn the ball over and you know what nobody punts all game long that's like costing you seven three to seven points and that was the difference in the game.
spk_0 Titans cardinals is just an absolute all-timer we had the cardinals as one of our four teaser legs you actually had five teaser legs because you were the browns up to ten and a half you did not take the commanders as a teaser leg.
spk_0 I did they came through for me thankfully but the cardinals Steve we tease them down the minus two and a half.
spk_0 The Jim at Lee the worst loss I've ever seen when you think about the Mercado dropping the ball short of the end zone but then the interception where they get the interception fumble it twice into the end zone for a touchdown I you can't make this tough up Steve.
spk_0 Hey people think I'm old guy shouting at the clouds I've been on this show Ross I've been saying for five years if I'm a coach you score you rush to the middle of the end zone you hand the ball to the ref you sprint to the sideline and then if you want to do the Ikea shuffle or whatever you want to do that's fine because my method you never fumble on the one and you never get flagged for you like excessive celebration drives me crazy low IQ football IQ you're up nine you get an interception with five minutes to play.
spk_0 Why you tried to even get up just cradle the ball you basically fall on it the games over and finally the worst infraction of them all coaching have these guys never watched a football game before they're up you're up to second and eight run into the middle line third
spk_0 and eight run into the middle line of course you're going to lose the other team I don't care they have the worst offense in the league no one you gives a team four downs and they only need a field goal they are going to beat you even if they suck and that's what happens.
spk_0 All right, commanders, chargers I had the commanders as a teaser leg up to eight and a half that came through they won the game outright lions bangles I leaned bangles they got they did not cover
spk_0 Patriots bills put two units on the bill on the Patriots getting the eight and a half so did you Steve another best bet that came through for us and then Jags chiefs I put two units on the Jags
spk_0 getting the three and a half that came through was just a lean for you so for the week because of the teasers I was still down 2.2 units you were down 10.9
spk_0 Steve for the year to date I am down 0.9 you are down 15.8 we are 20 and 16 on our best bets we were four and four on our best bets this week we move forward.
spk_0 More great stuff right after this.
spk_0 Make sure you are following me on social media this week at Ross Tucker NFL because I think I'm going to post a picture of my new shower from West Shore home it's incredible I mean I don't

spk_0 bathroom model and get a shower like I just did replace in another bathroom free or buy a house full of windows and get an entry door free 12 months no payments no interest financing and how about this that's the deal everybody else gets you know what you guys
spk_0 get an exclusive discount of five hundred dollars by scheduling at West Shore home calm slash Ross but that expires this Saturday October 11th see website for details on Fox one now you can stream your favorite
spk_0 live sports so you can be there live for the biggest moments I spend a lot of time watching games on my phone when I'm traveling after games I just did that after the Navy Air Force game on my way back to Pennsylvania I was looking online at games Fox one we live for live right now not only they have NFL
spk_0 and college but they have MLB playoffs and NASCAR make sure you got the Fox one at let's start with Thursday night where I've already seen a little bit of a line move the Eagles were laying seven and a half now they're just laying seven at the Giants.
spk_0 So the Giants lost you mentioned the five concurrent turnovers last week too fast and lose too much throwing the ball they'll run the ball more and the Eagles have been playing low scoring games and going under the 41.2 units.
spk_0 Ooh I kind of like that one Eagles Giants under 41.52 units short week also I'm also using the Eagles as a teaser leg I know it's not through the seven but they're not losing that game I would be shocked if they lost that game minus one I had at minus 1.5 when they were seven and a half
spk_0 favorites but I'm still going to do it what about the London game the Broncos against the Jets totals 43 and a half Broncos are laying seven and a half Steve.
spk_0 Yeah Denver's the much healthier team I'm done with the Jets I I'm just going to lean to Denver and teasers but I'm going to be very cautious with the teasers you know we're grading at minus 125 and that's going to make a big difference in our net in a total in our results so I got to play fewer teasers.
spk_0 That is a really good point because if we weren't grading at minus 125 I would have been up for the week but we're grading at minus 125 now on the teasers that's important to note I'm glad you said that for the new folks I don't care I'm taking the Broncos down to minus 1.5 man I'd be surprised if they lost that game to the Jets what about the Browns they're at the Steelers the Browns are getting 4.5 points the total is a low 37 and a half.
spk_0 Lean to Pittsburgh bad spot for the Browns coming back from England and Pittsburgh off of a buy my numbers actually made Pittsburgh six and a half so strongly into Pittsburgh.
spk_0 Well if the numbers make it six and a half why don't you take them.
spk_0 Because I've got sharp friends that like the other side and I'll respect them.
spk_0 Got it. Well I like the other side I like what I saw from Dylan Gabriel I'm taking the Browns plus 4.5 for one unit I think that's a close game I'm not convinced the Steelers are very good yet.
spk_0 Cardinals Colts Cardinals I'm a little surprised they're only getting six and a half on the road against the Colts the total is 47 and a half.
spk_0 So I have no idea the mindset of the Arizona Cardinals here but I think this is a better role for them to be catching points than trying to be laying these points where they've been failing.
spk_0 I'll lean Colts no play.
spk_0 I will lean Colts as well to win by a touchdown or more but it's not a play I would agree what about the Panthers they're getting three and a half at home against the Dallas Cowboys total is 49 and a half.
spk_0 So think about this the Jets were just laying points against the Cowboys alright at close are the Jets any better than Carolina I don't know I will take Carolina plus three and a half and what should be a very close game I'll go three units on that.
spk_0 Wow three units for Steve man I don't feel good about it but I love getting three and a half I like your logic I'll go two units Carolina plus the three and a half that is a best bet.
spk_0 What about the Rams they're laying seven and a half at the Baltimore Ravens totals 44 and a half.
spk_0 Alright I'm going over the 44 and a half I'm putting three units on that the Rams are obviously very proficient offense Baltimore everyone knows about their injuries on offense but they've got more injuries on defense they couldn't stop Houston at all Houston single handily put up 44 points give me over 44 and a half three units.
spk_0 Steve is going over 44 and a half three units wow that is that's a lot of units Steve I'm just going to use the Rams as a teaser leg down to minus one and a half I would be very surprised if they lost that game extra week to prepare extra weekend to prepare and heal I think the Rams take care of business that's my third teaser leg I'll let you know depending on how many teaser legs I do whether they're two or three.
spk_0 Two units or one unit at the end we got the chargers laying four and a half on the road against the dolphins totals 44 and a half Steve.
spk_0 Yeah I could only lean to Miami but I I don't like the dolphins as a team I don't know how the team is going to react to collapsing against Carolina still my numbers point that way I will lean to Miami I'm going to go under 44 and a half with all the chargers online injuries so two units on the under.
spk_0 Two units on the under 44 and a half for Steve I'm going to take the dolphins for two units getting the four and a half now the chargers just put Omarian Hampton on IR I mean there are other running back it just feels like the chargers are having one of those years again where they're losing all their best players I mean it's like five of their 10 best guys now that's not a good spot at all for the chargers.
spk_0 Give me Miami plus four and a half two units what about the Niners and the bucks Niners are on the road against the bucks the Niners are getting three points totals 47 and a half.
spk_0 Yeah the injury bowl here I need to look at the injury reports later in the week it's just it's too cloudy this current situation I'm going to pass.
spk_0 I'm going to take the Niners plus three for just one unit actually what I'm not doing that I need the three and a half I'm not doing it I need the three and a half but I will lean to the Niners getting the three what about the sea hawks they're on the road at the Jags sea ox are getting a point and a half totals 46 and a half.
spk_0 Yeah Jacksonville with the huge Monday night game here's the let down spot Seattle played fine against Tampa great on offense by the way I don't like Trevor Lawrence at all that final drive was a train wreck he was horrible and he somehow they they scored touchdown sometimes it happens it's like a no limit poker term sometimes you totally miss play and and you wind up winning when you spike an ace on the river I'm going to tease Seattle by the way I'm going to add the Rams and teasers also so this will be my second teaser Seattle up.
spk_0 From one and a half to seven and a half.
spk_0 So you thought Trevor Lawrence was that bad on the last drive horrendous the first two plays took him like 48 seconds off the clock to get three yards and they burn a time out and then they get they get a 30 yard completion nice pass and they're in the red zone and then even on the final touchdown play falls over his own feet and he should have gotten buried on the five yeah I thought he was terrible terrible but you know they all right let's do I'm with you on the sea
spk_0 yawks as a teaser like that's back to back teaser legs we agree on see yawks up to seven and a half I would actually lean Seattle plus the one and a half I think they're going to win that game I think Seattle is going to go into Jacksonville and win that game the Titans are getting four and a half on the road against your rate is total 41 and a half Steve hate both teams by the way
spk_0 they've not not been a good year for like 870 plus coaches with Carol and Bellicek but the Titans phony win bad team getting a little healthier in the old line they can't move the ball at all I passed the game.
spk_0 I I wouldn't it would not be good for my physical or mental health to put any wager on that game with those teams and I think sometimes we need to prioritize our health what about this line Steve the bangles are getting 14 and a half against the packers total 44 and a half.
spk_0 Yeah the bangles haven't gotten past three points at the end of the third quarter in three consecutive games I can't do it Ross I think green Bay will be up 20 maybe the bangles getting the back door they had a bangles had a good fourth quarter against Detroit I'm passing.
spk_0 Yeah that's too many points and the packers they just gave up 40 points to the cowboys only do one unit but you're giving me more than two touchdowns one unit on the bangles getting the 14 and a half what about the patriots they're at the Saints the Saints are getting three and a half total 45 and a half Steve.
spk_0 I think this is a low scoring game I think it's a field goal game either way you know the Saints got a win they're feeling better about themselves obviously maybe the Patriots are feeling too good about themselves so I'll go one unit on the Saints getting the three and a half at home the Lions and the Chiefs the marquee game of the day the Lions are getting a point and a half.
spk_0 The total 50 and a half Steve so I got the Lions power is my number one team in the NFL and that means I absolutely have to tease them here so I should be a shoot out should be a high scoring game 27 24 I don't know it's going to win I will I will tease the Lions put them in on with my teasers.
spk_0 Totally agree I got the Lions as a teaser leg as well by the way Steve on Tuesdays I know I hope you listen I do my power readings on the Ross Tucker football podcast I have the Lions number one so your numbers agree with my brain or my eyes I have the Lions number one right now as well although now that they lost Terry and Arnold now they're down both starting corners I think you make a good point I think you make a good point.
spk_0 About the over that numbers too high for me though I am with you on the Lions teaser leg up to seven and a half that's five teaser legs for me Monday night double header you got the bills laying four and a half against the Falcons total 48 and a half Steve yeah this line should not be four and a half I think it should be three so the solid value and what should be a close game maybe the bills find a way to bounce back and win but Falcons two units yes.
spk_0 It's a best bet I am with you Steve Falcons the bills have not played well really all year and now add Atlanta and the Falcons coming off a buy Falcons getting four and a half points that's a two unit best bet I am with you Steve all right last but not least bears commanders bears are getting four and a half points totals 50 and a half I will be at that game by the way calling that game for Westwood one on Monday night.
spk_0 So I've got sharp friends that are on the bears I don't see it I got my power rating I love Daniels and I hate Caleb Williams I make the game seven seven but I actually think this line's going to come down because I people I speak to say they're going to be on the bears I will lean the Washington at the mice for an hour.
spk_0 My favorite
spk_0 thing to you know which everybody I call batter I don't know why they're just talking about that and this topic that leads us away just to add
spk_0 of it and I'm pretty sure there's anything with batter you know that's fine for a couple of years then I can be relieved and graphs
spk_0 the five teaser legs. Filly down to minus one, Denver down to minus one and a half, Rams down to
spk_0 minus one and a half. Seattle up to seven and a half, Detroit up to seven half. I'm still going two
spk_0 units. I know it's minus one, 25 and I know it was a bad week for teasers last week. All that
spk_0 means to me is it's a good week for teasers this week. Check him out on social media at FESC Sports.
