But before we get into all of that, don't forget to head to Splitdecisionpod.com, where you'll find all of our episodes, our merch, and more. Again. That is splitdecisionpod.com. All right, let's go.
[00:00:52] Speaker B: All right, so after a week of no UFC card, we're finally back. This week, the UFC goes on the road again. It's not a pay per view event. It's a fight night. It's UFC Sao Paulo in Brazil. So they really packed this card full of Brazilian fighters, especially Brazilian male fighters.
[00:01:11] Speaker A: Do you think we're going to have that? Threw me off for a second when you said Brazilian male fighters. I was like, wait. But then I realized there are a few female divisions. Do you think we're going to have a setup kind of like last week, where it was like a mostly Muslim winner card or not last week, two weeks ago?
[00:01:28] Speaker B: I think it could be similar to that, but I don't think not that Brazil.
You're not going halfway around the world. You're, like, still the same time zone. So I don't think your times is messed up. So I don't know if the home field will matter as much as it.
[00:01:42] Speaker A: Does going it's not so drastic, maybe. Yeah. Okay.
[00:01:46] Speaker B: But the first fight, we're going to cover the whole main card, and the first fight of the main card is Israel Bonfim, one of the Bonfim brothers, taking on Vince how do you say his name? Pitchel. Pitchell.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: Vince Pachell.
[00:01:57] Speaker B: Vince Pachell from hell. So it's the Brazilian and Bonfim, the 27 year old, taking on the 40 year old Pachell, the American. Bonfam 19 and four. Pachell 14 and three. How do you see this fight going?
[00:02:10] Speaker A: Look, Bonfam lost to Benoit St. Denis last time out.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: He lost by submission only in his second UFC fight.
[00:02:17] Speaker A: Right. I think not. A fluke by Bonfam. He faced a killer. Right, exactly. In the lightweight division. Benoit Saint Denis is on the significant uptick. Pachell lost to Mark Mattson, last out by decision. Bonfam's, one in one. In the UFC. He's beaten Terrence McKinney. And like I said, he lost to Benoit St. Denis. Still new to the UFC, and in his entire career, he's only lost by submission.
[00:02:46] Speaker B: One thing I found, he's only lost by submission, as you said, and Pachelle has never won a fight by submission.
[00:02:55] Speaker A: Right. So I think that's kind of what the UFC is trying to do here, not give us a matchup to say that Pachel can't win or anything, which I don't think he will win.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: They're trying to build bonfam.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: Right. I think it's a smoke up the ass, blowing the smoke for Bonfam to get him up in the cars, get him a few wins under his belt so he can show is not an.
[00:03:16] Speaker B: Easy he's seven and three in the UFC and he's been in there since 2012. So it's a good favorable matchup, but it's not going to be a cakewalk, I don't think. Pachelle is a talented guy.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Right. Pachell's got eight career kos, six career decision wins. He's only lost three times, like you said, once by Ko, once by submission, once by decision.
[00:03:37] Speaker B: Seven UFC wins since 2012. He just doesn't fight a lot. He fights about one per year, it seems.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: Right. I think in order for Pachel to win, he needs to control, because typically, I mean, it's kind of weird to say it like this. When he has heavy control in a fight, he does win. So he needs to find a way to control early and often.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: Honestly, I think this fight sets up for Bonfam to get the win.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: Right. I agree there. I think Bonfam is set up to get the win here.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: He had 13 straight wins before that last fight, so it is going to be interesting to see how he bounces back. But I think he bounces back with.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: The win and it's a type of loss he's bounced back from before. Like we said, he only has lost by submission four times, so it's nothing. I don't want to say he's used to losing like that.
[00:04:22] Speaker B: He's going to come in pretty confident knowing this guy's not going to submit him, though, right?
[00:04:26] Speaker A: He doesn't have to worry about that. Whole angle of the game is submission. Now, Pichel can take you down. He does have a high takedown rate, but he doesn't go for submissions. It's takedown ground and pound and control.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: Hold you down.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: Right. He likes to do that ground and pound damage. But I still think Bonfam is going.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: To win, so I think we agree on that one.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: Yep. Moving on. The next fight we're going to cover is Rodolfo the Black belt.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: Hunter Viera That's actually a sick nickname.
[00:04:53] Speaker A: It is, especially when you do.
He has one Ko victory, eight submission victories. Nine and two in his career. Only losing once by submission and once by decision. He's facing Armin. Superman Petrosian. Nine and two in his career as well. I thought I wrote that wrong.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: Casmet both and one interesting thing, Petrosian has never been submitted before.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: Yeah, this is that kind of another clash of styles, right? Another switch. Kind of shows you what the UFC is trying to go for. They're trying to get exciting fights out there for USC, Sao Paulo.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: Petrosian was on one of the first cards we covered, I'm pretty sure when he fought CLD. He is Leroy Duncan.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: Right? He was. I think Rodolfo Vieira is a very high level jiu jitsu person. He knows his way around the canvas. He's known for his submissions, winning eight times. He's four and two in the UFC, only losing those two times in the.
[00:05:49] Speaker B: UFC for his he's alternated his he keeps win, loss, win, loss. Right. I'm sorry. Yeah.
[00:05:55] Speaker A: He lost to Chris Curtis and Anthony.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: Hernandez, but his last one was a win. So if he continues that streak, he's looking towards a loss. But who says he continues the streak?
[00:06:04] Speaker A: Well, I do.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: I agree as well.
[00:06:06] Speaker A: There we go. You got two experts here. Petrosian is three and one in the UFC. All decisions to point out he lost that one fight to Cal Seow. I don't know how to say his first name. Baraljo. He's going to be fighting on this card. Petrosian is a very powerful striker.
I think he needs a good stoppage here. I think the UFC is kind of setting him up for a good knockout win by somebody who's going to be going for submissions and going for that ground attack, or at least getting you on the ground to aim for a submission. I think Petrosian striking is going to be what's going to earn him the victory here. I think we're going to see a knockout.
[00:06:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Petrosian gets it done, too, kind of, for all the reasons you said. I think he's not a guy that gets submitted a lot. He's taken on a submission guy.
[00:06:55] Speaker A: And we've seen him fight. Like you said, we covered his fights. You know, it's one of those things like, he's won by decision with us. We've seen him be able to Ko somebody. He just hasn't done it. I think he's due.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: So the next fight includes one of the guys you actually just mentioned, Baralho the Natural. The natural. Taking on Abbas Magomedoff. Last time we saw Magomedov, Sean Strickland was TKOing him in the second round.
[00:07:23] Speaker A: I don't want to take anything away from Magomedov now.
[00:07:26] Speaker B: That's not a bad loss after the.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: Way right in the moment. In the moment. It wasn't even a terrible loss because Sean Strickland is one of those fighters. He's scrappy. He could do anything at any time.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: But then he just ascended.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: But now he has the belt. So it's like, all right, Abbas, they're giving you another shot against Baraljo. He's perfect. Four and O in the UFC 14.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: And one overall, too. So he's a guy that wins. Eleven straight wins.
He's also never been finished.
[00:07:55] Speaker A: I think with the Magomedov coming off the Ko loss to Strickland, I think he's going to be aiming to go back to what he's used to. Magomedov has 14 Kos, six subs, and five decisions.
[00:08:09] Speaker B: He's one in one in the UFC, and his only win was at like it was before the Sean Strickland. It was like 19 seconds.
[00:08:15] Speaker A: Right.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: As you said, he knocks people out.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: I think we're going to see an electric fight here. I actually think Abbas Magomedov is going to win. I think he's going to rebound with that camp, not fighting last week in his home turf or two weeks ago. Sorry, UFC 294. Not being able to fight there. I think he's trying to kind of earn his keep. He's only, like you said, one in one in the UFC. Cal doesn't fight all the time. Barrajo does not fight all the time. He's four and o since, what, 2019? But he's perfect in his career since 2015. He doesn't fight that often, but he picks. Good matchups for himself. But I still think Magomedov is going to win. What do you think?
[00:08:59] Speaker B: See, I think this is the first one we disagree on. I think Barrajo moves to five, and I think he comes in.
I think he's just a winner. He just figures out a way to get it done. I think it's probably going to be by decision, but I think you're right. It's going to be a very exciting fight.
[00:09:15] Speaker A: So next we're talking Yogi Bear. You know Bear?
[00:09:22] Speaker B: Yogi Bear? Nasamito?
[00:09:24] Speaker A: No, no, I'm talking about the cartoon character.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: I do.
[00:09:26] Speaker A: Okay, so we're not talking about him, actually. It's Rodrigo Nasimento.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: Nasamento.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: Yeah, sorry.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: The Brazilian. Another Brazilian on the card, of course.
[00:09:36] Speaker A: Then he's going against Don tail Lord Kong Mays. This is a rematch.
[00:09:43] Speaker B: I know. I saw that. It's a rematch that doesn't really I'm not sure.
[00:09:47] Speaker A: Doesn't ring a bell.
[00:09:49] Speaker B: It doesn't make sense. Like, why are they rematching?
[00:09:51] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know.
NASA mental. Won the first time by Rear Naked Choke. They've had very similar careers since then. Maze has gone three and one and one since then. Nasimento has gone two, one and one since then. So maybe that matchup is kind of set up to see who's getting the rise in the UFC and who's I don't know.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: But Nasamino, he lost the next fight, but then won two in a row. So, I mean, he's been yeah, so I don't know.
[00:10:19] Speaker A: It's a confusing matchup. Maybe this was just the next one in the lineup for the heavyweight because neither one's, like, in a place of contention or, like, top 15, anything like that. I don't know. Maze is a better striker. Nasimento has a better ground game. It's kind of apparent by their records. Nasimento has six sub wins, where Maze has six Ko wins. So another clash of styles in the heavyweight division.
I don't know. What do you think is, like, the big thing, like, the key factor here?
[00:10:54] Speaker B: I think it's going to kind of go the same way as the last one. Honestly. I think it's going to be Nasometo on the ground. I don't know if he gets the sub again, but I think he figures out a way gets him on the ground. Sub attempts, you have to see that.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: Number one, that gives confidence. Nasimento, I think third straight win for.
[00:11:10] Speaker B: Nasimento and third straight decision win.
[00:11:13] Speaker A: Okay, well, you heard that here first.
Next, Gabriel, the older brother to ishmael Bonfim.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Yeah. The second. And probably I don't want to say more talented, but he is the younger brother, by the way.
[00:11:32] Speaker A: He's the younger brother.
[00:11:34] Speaker B: He's 26.
Ishmael is 27.
[00:11:38] Speaker A: So the younger, bigger brother. There we go. He's facing Nicholas danish dynamite dolby.
Both are pretty good in their careers.
[00:11:48] Speaker B: This is going to be a good.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: Fight, I really think.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: 15 and undefeated two and on the UFC, and they're not really giving him an easy guy to fight. Nicholas Dalby never been finished in the UFC. He's won three straight five one and one in the UFC. So, I mean, he's a guy that wins. He knows how to win at the.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: Now at the top.
[00:12:07] Speaker B: Not top level, but like UFC top level.
[00:12:10] Speaker A: The problem for me with Dolby on this one is really what you just said. He's five one and one in the UFC. It's great that he has the wins, but he has five decision wins.
[00:12:22] Speaker B: I don't think decision wins are bad.
[00:12:23] Speaker A: It's not a bad thing. It's a bad thing when you're facing somebody like Gabriel Bonfim, who has 15 and o in his career, three Kos and twelve subs. He doesn't go to decision, but Dolby.
[00:12:35] Speaker B: Doesn'T get submitted either.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: So you're right. Yeah. He's never lost by anything other than decision. Yeah, I think this is going to be a testament place to Gabriel Bonfam. I think Bonfam is going to come out and he's going to show that the hands matter and the ground game matters. And honestly, I think this is going to be a situation where Nicholas Dalby has to be absolutely perfect to win the fight.
[00:13:01] Speaker B: If he makes one, this is going.
[00:13:03] Speaker A: To be a very one mistake. It's done.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: I think it's a very close fight. I think Bonfam wins. I as well, but I think it's going to be his first decision win.
[00:13:14] Speaker A: So he's going to go 16 and 13 Kos, twelve subs and one decision.
[00:13:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's going to be a close decision victory over Dolby. Dolby is going to not teach him a lesson, but he's a vet and he's going to give him a lesson, but lose.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: Ismael and Gabriel debuted January 21 together, and this is the second card they're both fighting on. They both fought in July. They just didn't fight on the same card in July. So pretty cool that they're able to fight together pretty often.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: So that was the Co main. Let's move on to the main event, maybe the most exciting fight to Almeida.
How do you say his first name? Jolton.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: I listened to DC Daniel Cormier say it today. Jialton Gilton. Almida Mahadino.
[00:14:00] Speaker B: Mahadino versus the black beast. Derek Lewis.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: His balls are hot.
[00:14:05] Speaker B: It's a guy that career ascending, possible future champ. People have been talking about for a while, taking on Derek Lewis, who he had a great fight his last fight, but before that, his career. It seems like he's hit his absolute peak.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: He dropped like three in a row.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Before three in a row. Two guys, way different positions to their career. I'll meet a five and O in the UFC, all of them finishes, too, right?
[00:14:33] Speaker A: I made five wins.
[00:14:34] Speaker B: Five finishes, 14 straight wins. Future champ. He can do it on the ground, he can do it with his hands. And he's taken on the guy with the most knockouts in heavyweight history, I believe.
[00:14:45] Speaker A: 22 knockouts in his career.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: And in the last fight, he showed something different with a flying knee to Roger de Lima.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: It was nuts.
[00:14:56] Speaker B: Did you see Dilemma's quote, his teeth were two days later. He's like, My life is horrible right now. My teeth are loose, I can't eat.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: Yeah, that's pretty wild. Look, another fight. This is a weird one. So I did some looking. Jayalton comes in light in the heavyweight division.
[00:15:14] Speaker B: He does.
[00:15:15] Speaker A: He comes in like 240 on the scales. Like 235, 240. So he walks in probably that in the cage. Like, he's not cutting weight, but he's.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: Also an absolute monster.
His body composition is different than most heavyweights built. He's built, like, all muscle.
[00:15:33] Speaker A: Yeah, he's built like inganu. It's crazy.
This is an impressive fight for me.
It's tough. Almeida, like you said, won five out of five. Five finishes in the UFC.
His most recent fight, I should say he submitted. Rosenstruck. He's been back in heavyweight since last year. In 2022, we have Derek Lewis on his first fight in an eight fight UFC deal. So they're not giving him an easy road. They're making it hard on him, but they're keeping him around. So we're all happy about that.
He just Koed Marcos, Rogeros de Lima with that flying knee me and you just talked about, and he was honestly, he had a six pack. He was in the best shape we've ever seen Derek Lewis in. If anybody.
[00:16:20] Speaker B: Almida always has a six pack.
[00:16:22] Speaker A: Almita's had a six pack since he was in third grade. I'm sure he's also had a full beard since then. But what I'm saying is, if Derek Lewis can translate that 30 pound weight difference into a victory here, I think with his recent achievements on the scale, being in the best shape of his life, arguably he has the power to get it done against Almeida. I don't know if that happens, but that's what I'm going to bank on. I think Derek Lewis wins this fight.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: Another one we disagree on. I think Almeida at home.
I think it's going to be an exciting fight in terms of it's going to end quickly.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: I don't think Almeida's knocking him out.
[00:17:05] Speaker B: It doesn't matter. Almeida can sub him.
[00:17:07] Speaker A: I don't think that's happening.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: I think it is.
[00:17:10] Speaker A: So you're going to say Almeida by submission?
[00:17:12] Speaker B: No, I'm saying almeida by finish.
Very early, first round.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: Oh, God.
[00:17:27] Speaker B: All right, so for top five this week, we're going to do our top five. Landmarks, monuments, natural wonders.
[00:17:34] Speaker A: That's a lot to put on a graphic homie. I'm going to just write landmarks. But once you see the list, you'll kind of get it.
[00:17:41] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, all those things kind of are all lumped in together. And I think you had the first pick this week, dude.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: This is a hard one.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: There's a lot of good picks on this. I'm almost glad I have two and three rather than one on this one. Yeah, because there's, like, five or six, like, elite level.
[00:18:00] Speaker A: Shrouded in mystery is my number one.
Not the words. Shrouded in mystery.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: Oh, I might get all three of mine.
[00:18:07] Speaker A: I might get a perfect top five. No, man. I was listening to Joe Rogan, Graham Hancock, and they were talking about the Great Pyramids.
So I'm going to go with that. Shrouded in mystery. The Great Pyramids. We don't know how they were built. There's a lot of questions, a lot of mystery involved. I got to go with the pyramids.
Everybody knows about them. Very distinct. This is one of the first things you learn about it's crazy. And they're really cool. Also a bucket list.
What? I want to go see the pyramids.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: It's not a bad pick. That was going to be my one one, I'll be honest.
But you saying Graham Hancock, Joe Rogan made me think of my one. I'm going to pick right here.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: You can't even spell with Sphinx. Oh, never mind. That's on my list, too.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: I'm picking the Sphinx. I think that's cool. It's another thing, as you said, shrouded a mystery. It looks like they dude, it looks like they edited it.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Back and redid it.
[00:19:13] Speaker A: Yeah. When they were talking about that, that was pretty cool.
[00:19:16] Speaker B: One part is so much more aged than the other part.
[00:19:18] Speaker A: Yeah. So the head that's supposedly or not supposedly, it's a pharaoh now. They think it was like a lion back in the day or back one.
[00:19:27] Speaker B: Day or literally like a giant cat.
[00:19:30] Speaker A: Like anubis wild type stuff.
[00:19:33] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just cool.
That was almost around the same time as the pyramids. And pyramids are cool, don't get me wrong, but it's more like an artistic thing.
[00:19:43] Speaker A: Yeah. The pyramids were a structure that have a lot of secrets in it.
[00:19:47] Speaker B: Massive. This thing is like, what does that mean?
[00:19:49] Speaker A: Right. And what was it before? It just has a whole different level of mystery behind it. I get it. That's a good one. Yeah.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: So Sphinx my number one and then my number two. This is another tough one.
A lot to choose from, a lot to think about.
[00:20:06] Speaker A: Yeah. A lot of this is like it's all going to be, like, history based, because in the past 30 years, we haven't done I think I'm going to.
[00:20:13] Speaker B: Pick this number two because there's one I really want to pick, but I think I can get it later. I hope I'm not fucked, but my number two is going to be the coliseum.
[00:20:21] Speaker A: Oh, that's a good, good pick. I have that on my list as well.
[00:20:23] Speaker B: Still standing. You can still go visit it today.
In a society right now that's built so much on sports as in the culture, it's crazy to think that one of the other great empires in the past kind of had the same thing. It makes you think more. It's a human thing.
[00:20:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, we love the UFC, right? That was their UFC.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Their UFC. That was any of their sports.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: Right. That was their football. That was know they competed all of their that's.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: That's a good pick.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: I like the coliseum.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: Yeah. So coliseum my number two. What's your number two?
[00:20:59] Speaker A: Oh, man, this is hard.
I think for my number two, I'm going to go with something that doesn't exist anymore.
That's going to be the Library of Alexandria.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: Oh, that's not what I thought you were going to pick. But not a bad pick.
[00:21:21] Speaker A: No, it's another one of those things that's shrouded in mystery.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: I didn't have that on my list, but it is a good pick because they burned it, didn't they?
[00:21:30] Speaker A: Right.
[00:21:31] Speaker B: We had no idea what they had.
[00:21:32] Speaker A: Right. And one of those other things, I guess for me, when I think of a top five landmark, if it's a man made or a supposed man made situation, and then it's also got mystery around it, it really kind. Of, like, doubles down on the significance of the landmark is because, number one, you couldn't get all the stuff out of Library of Alexandria or much, based on what history tells us. And on top of all that, there's like you just said, what did they know? There's countless things that were lost.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: It probably has a lot of the answers that Graham Hancock and them want.
[00:22:09] Speaker A: The maps and everything. That's what they're talking about, all those types of things.
[00:22:15] Speaker B: It's not a bad pick, man.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: My third pick. This is hard.
This is hard.
I think I think I got to go with the parthenon.
[00:22:29] Speaker B: It's not a bad pick.
[00:22:30] Speaker A: Another historic monument. This one's shrouded in way less mystery, just temple to the gods.
But it's a beautiful place. You can tell when you look at pictures of it. I've never been. What another place I'd really like to go? But you can tell when looking at pictures of it, the craftsmanship behind it.
We don't do things like that anymore.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: We don't build things to last like.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: That right outside of, like a war happening, like a siege from back in those times that would still be standing.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: We don't build things out of stone like that.
[00:23:09] Speaker A: No, we make hodgepodge materials, concrete and stuff to support, which is fine, that's industrial age, all good, but it's not the same. So I picked the parthenon.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: It's not a bad pick.
[00:23:24] Speaker A: What's that mythical number three?
[00:23:27] Speaker B: My number three is going to be Petra, the state, the city in Jordan that's literally like they build it out of the stone. Nobody knows how to the stone.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: I think it's Indiana Jones. It was in it's one of those things a lot of people have seen, and they've seen that famous there's, like, one famous building in the entrance into the stone, and they don't know what it is, but it's such a cool thing. And it's something we don't really know a lot about, like how exactly they did it.
[00:23:55] Speaker A: Yeah, it's another one of those, like, shrouded and very ancient culture.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: Just a cool thing. Cool visually, because it's a little manmade mixed with natural wonder. Yeah, because the rocks are so.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: It'S not an object that's carved out of stone. It's carved into the stone, and it's accessible, so it's even more in depth. I get it.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: So now my number four.
This is hard. This is getting pretty hard.
I don't want to leave anything off.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: But you only get five picks.
[00:24:36] Speaker B: Only get five picks.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: So you're leaving approximately, like, 300 things off.
[00:24:40] Speaker B: So my number four is going to be the Acropolis in Athens, birthplace of democracy.
A lot of free thought. Like the birthplace of kind of free think.
[00:24:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
The birth of idea.
[00:25:00] Speaker B: Part of it's still standing. Enough of it's still standing where you can kind of get an idea of what it was, which I think is cool.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: So there's a lot of mystery in it, but there's also a lot of, like no, it's actually still there, too.
It's in a beautiful country, beautiful place.
The Acropolis. My number four.
[00:25:18] Speaker A: I like that. I like the Acropolis.
Feel like I know where one of these overseas vacations just kind of generally needs to be directed at one day. Based on both of these lists, my number four, honestly, this one's, it's definitely still got some mystery behind it, but it's not as mysterious as my other picks on the list. I'm going with Stonehenge.
[00:25:47] Speaker B: Oh, I had that one.
[00:25:50] Speaker A: A lot of people have seen Stonehenge, but it's a straight up guess as.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: To what it really yeah, we don't know what they meant.
[00:25:59] Speaker A: Right. Yeah. It's a circle of stones that we don't know why they were moved, because apparently they can tell that they were moved a long distance and that they were stacked in a way that they're specific, but we don't know why.
Is it an alien thing? Is it a burial thing? Is it a religious thing? No telling. It's got some mystery behind it, but it's not like the most ornate design structure. It looks like very rudimentary. It's a circle of standing stones with a couple of stones standing on laying across the top. It's not crazy, but it looks and you can tell there's something different about it. Like me and you couldn't go out there and just put that together.
So stonehenge and I guess that leaves me for my number five, or for the number five. First number five. I'm going to go with the Great Wall of China.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: I had that one on my list.
[00:26:54] Speaker A: Honestly, one of the it's in my opinion, the biggest or the best proven man made marvel that exists.
Because we just know that.
[00:27:11] Speaker B: We know we made them.
[00:27:13] Speaker A: Right? We know. We made the Great Wall of China. We don't know at what point the pyramids just came about.
[00:27:19] Speaker B: That's all kind of we know it's man made.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: Maybe they still can't prove how it was made.
[00:27:25] Speaker B: Man made.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: It was carved. The sphinx was carved.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: Petra's man made.
[00:27:31] Speaker A: Carved again, carved.
The Great Wall of China is just a wall that was built. That's what Trump was trying to do to the US. China did it hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: Yeah, but that goes back. Trump wasn't building a big stone wall. He was building a little bullshit, probably electric fence, right?
[00:27:53] Speaker A: A chain link separating USA and Mexico. Like that's some bullshit. That's what I'm saying. It's a modern marvel to what we can prove in manmade time.
And it's crazy lengthy. Like it would take a very long time to walk it. There's patrols you can't fuck with. It still.
[00:28:14] Speaker B: There's tours that you can take. There's a slide on it.
[00:28:17] Speaker A: That would be sick. I would take a slide down.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: You can take a slide down.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: I would water slide through the length of the great water involved. But no, you're right. What's your fifth pick?
[00:28:30] Speaker B: My fifth pick? It actually came to my mind when you talked about the library in Alexandria.
[00:28:38] Speaker A: What is it? The Lighthouse of Alexandria?
[00:28:39] Speaker B: It's close.
Kind of close.
[00:28:44] Speaker A: It's not close at all.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: Colossus of Rhodes.
[00:28:46] Speaker A: Oh, that's a good one. That's on my list.
[00:28:48] Speaker B: It's one of the gods statues is a giant, probably the I mean, biggest humanoid statue I've ever seen. I know we haven't seen it, but pictures.
[00:29:01] Speaker A: I don't know why, but when you said the giant humanoid statue, all I could think about was Achilles wanting to bury himself with Patrick Lee.
[00:29:11] Speaker B: Yeah, that weird relationship. Same people, kind of, but Colossus, I think it's cool. I wish I was around today in civilization of video game. I always build it as a natural world wonder think it's cool. I wish it was around today. Mystery. Like how'd they do that back then?
[00:29:29] Speaker A: No, that's a solid top five.
I like the Colossus of Rhodes is the last pick.
Honestly, I don't think there's a bad pick in any of these top fives.
[00:29:41] Speaker B: Yeah, we went real ancient.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:46] Speaker B: Give me like a couple honorable mentions.
[00:29:48] Speaker A: You had Statue of Liberty.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: I had that one on my list.
[00:29:51] Speaker A: Christ the redeemer. Christ the Redeemer in Brazil.
[00:29:53] Speaker B: I had Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore. I had the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: The Lighthouse of Alexandria.
[00:30:00] Speaker B: Lighthouse.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: I didn't want to have both. Alexandria.
[00:30:02] Speaker B: Taj Mahal.
[00:30:03] Speaker A: Grand Canyon.
[00:30:04] Speaker B: Ark de Trayonf.
[00:30:06] Speaker A: Niagara Falls. If you're going to have Ark, you.
[00:30:08] Speaker B: Got to have the Mount St. Michel.
[00:30:11] Speaker A: Mount St. Michel. And you also have to have Eiffel Tower easter island. I put the Death Star on the very bottom in the corner because Death.
[00:30:19] Speaker B: Star, it's not real.
[00:30:21] Speaker A: You know how I like to do fictional landmarks? Not fictional landmarks, but when I always try to bring in, like, fictional stuff into my tops, once I actually made the list, I was like, I can't in good faith put anything put the.
[00:30:35] Speaker B: Death Star over it.
[00:30:36] Speaker A: That number one. One Death Star. Let's go.
Yeah. No. Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon. There were some good ones. Colossus. Great barrier.
What?
[00:30:49] Speaker B: Great Barrier Reef.
[00:30:50] Speaker A: Yeah, Great Barrier Reef. I was on there. Antarctica as a whole. It's not a landmark. It's not a landmark, but I don't know, I just can't just a piece.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: Of land that's cold.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: Yeah, but there's stuff there we don't know about.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: Are you one of the flat earthers?
[00:31:07] Speaker A: No. Not thinking. There's dinosaurs living in and ice wall. It's like we haven't flown over this. What the hell?
Yeah. So I think that pretty much wraps up our top five and a few honorable mentions. Makes it fun.
Don't forget to vote on who you think has the best top five landmarks. Christian, you want to run down your top five real quick. And then I'll run down mine.
[00:31:33] Speaker B: Yeah. I had number one Sphinx, two, Coliseum three, Petra four, Acropolis five, colossus erodes.
[00:31:41] Speaker A: And mine were the Pyramids of Giza, the Library of Alexandria, the Parthenon Stonehenge and the Great Wall of China.
All right, let's kick off our little preview for NCAA Week ten.
We're going to start off with Kansas State Wildcats versus the Texas Longhorns.
At Texas.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: At Texas. Big game in the big twelve.
[00:32:12] Speaker A: Well, you know who I'm picking based on what I'm wearing.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: There's a four team tie with one loss in the Big Twelve.
I think they're all four and one, five and one in Big Twelve play.
The Big Twelve is an open conference, so the top two teams go to the championship game to play each other. So this is a huge game to determine who's going to get there in the end of the season. Kansas State comes in.
They're hot.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: They're six and two, six.
[00:32:38] Speaker B: And their discipline program, they're taking on Texas. Texas definitely has more talent.
[00:32:43] Speaker A: Texas ranked seven.
[00:32:45] Speaker B: Texas ranked 7th. This is a big game for Texas. They're not going to have Quinn Ewers, starting quarterback.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Malik Murphy is going to have to come out, and that's one of the.
[00:32:53] Speaker B: Reasons he played well last game, though. They played pretty well overall.
[00:32:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
I don't know how many starts he's had this season.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: That was his first.
[00:33:01] Speaker A: Oh, I looked at last week's game, didn't have terrible stats, but I think that may be something that Kansas State.
[00:33:11] Speaker B: The Wildcat, he doesn't have to go off, though, because their team's more talented than Texas. It is don't do too much.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: It is. Absolutely.
[00:33:17] Speaker B: Maybe get hurt so Arch can come in. Just joking. I don't want him hurt.
[00:33:20] Speaker A: But, yeah, no, I kind of get what you're saying.
Kansas State has the 13th ranked running game in college football. They're putting it down. I think that mixed with Quinn Ewers not being in is what's going to be the key to victory for Kansas State.
[00:33:39] Speaker B: I think Texas wins the game. I think it's going to be a close game back and forth. Texas really going to have to put some drives together, play well, be clutch to win the game.
[00:33:49] Speaker A: Texas is favorited by four with an over under 51 and a half.
[00:33:53] Speaker B: I think Texas gets it done probably by a three point win.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: I think Kansas State. I'm wearing the Kansas State sweater right now. Got to rep them. They're my fan of the week this week or I'm their fan of the week this week. So I'm going to be watching that game rooting Kansas State the whole way through. All right.
[00:34:11] Speaker B: So the next game we're covering is the first of three SEC games. We're going to cover two SEC West games. We're going to cover it's the Ole Miss Rebels, ranked number ten, I believe, 1111, taking on Texas A and M, non ranked as an LSU fan. We need Ole Miss to lose one more game, especially if LSU beats Alabama. Then we're in a driver's seat for the SEC West. But I think Ole Miss comes in and gets it done. Ole Miss, they're an explosive offense. They're a good team. They're taking on an A M team who they're not explosive. They're a team that's going to hang around.
If you're good, they're going to hang around.
[00:34:48] Speaker A: They're going to play up.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: If you're not that great, they're going to play down at your level.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: When face the Aggies have lost when facing every ranked opponent this year two.
[00:35:01] Speaker B: Is their third ranked character coaches in Jimbo Fisher versus Lane Kiffin. Right.
I think especially the fact that it's going to be in Oxford, Mississippi. I think Ole Miss this is the best team Lane Kiffin's had since he's been there. I think ole Miss gets it done. I think it's going to be a close game, though.
[00:35:19] Speaker A: I agree. I think Ole Miss is going to disrupt Max Johnson and I think they're.
[00:35:23] Speaker B: Going to max Johnson, former LSU quarterback.
[00:35:25] Speaker A: I think they're going to use son.
[00:35:26] Speaker B: Of Brad Johnson, super bowl winning quarterback, for whom the Buccaneers in like two.
[00:35:32] Speaker A: Oh, cool.
I think they're going to threaten Max Johnson. I think they're going to disrupt him. And I think Ole Miss is going to win.
[00:35:39] Speaker B: So it looks like we agree on that one. The next one. Another SEC game.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: Is that? The Missouri Tigers versus the Bulldogs. Exactly.
[00:35:46] Speaker B: This is the SEC East game, but it has the same implications on the line where the winner of this is in the driver's seat to go to the SEC title game.
[00:35:53] Speaker A: Man, Missouri is coming in ranked 14, seven and one, only lost to LSU. Pretty crazy.
[00:35:59] Speaker B: And then the Georgia Bulldogs are two time defending champ.
[00:36:03] Speaker A: Brock Bowers just had surgery, so he's out.
[00:36:06] Speaker B: He might come back into the season, but he's out for this game.
[00:36:09] Speaker A: Bank on that shouldn't stop the Bulldogs from scoring.
[00:36:13] Speaker B: They've been getting better and better, the.
[00:36:15] Speaker A: Tigers, they're good, but they're not at this.
[00:36:19] Speaker B: Georgia had a slow start to the season in that they weren't losing games, but they weren't really they weren't dominating walking through sleepwalking through games.
[00:36:26] Speaker A: Right.
[00:36:26] Speaker B: They seem to have turned it on recently. They beat the shit out of Florida last week.
[00:36:30] Speaker A: I will say this, in the last six games, Georgia is one in five against the spread.
[00:36:37] Speaker B: What's the spread for this?
[00:36:39] Speaker A: 15 and a half?
[00:36:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Georgia wins, but by like 13 or no, I'm going to say by 17. I'm going to say like 30, 517. Georgia.
[00:36:50] Speaker A: Damn. So they're not going to be able to get going on offense at all for the Tigers, you think?
[00:36:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Georgia's run it is.
[00:36:58] Speaker A: I don't think Georgia is going to lose here.
Georgia is going to go nine and believe but I wonder by how much are they going to win by.
I'm going to keep an eye on that one. I definitely want to pay attention to what's going on with that game. All right.
[00:37:15] Speaker B: Next game we're going to cover is a huge game in the Pac Twelve championship race to try to get to the Pac Twelve title game. Washington. The Huskies taking on the USC Trojans. Washington still undefeated.
What do they rank? Number four or five?
[00:37:32] Speaker A: Five.
[00:37:33] Speaker B: Taking on USC who looked like they were on their way to lose three straight games. They came back right at the end to beat Calm.
[00:37:43] Speaker A: It's crazy.
[00:37:44] Speaker B: So USC, I mean, they have a good offense, obviously. We know about Caleb Williams. They have a bunch of good receivers.
[00:37:50] Speaker A: But they have a trash defense.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: They have a horrible defense that's up a lot of points.
[00:37:56] Speaker A: What do you do if you're Caleb.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: Williams on this mean you're just playing.
[00:38:01] Speaker A: Like everybody knows you're. That just you're. No matter what happens, you're good.
[00:38:06] Speaker B: But I think it's a little overblown saying he's the best ever.
[00:38:11] Speaker A: I don't think he's like NFL Patrick Mahomes good, but I think he's going to walk in and be a good starting quarterback for the NFL.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: We'll see because he's had some but.
[00:38:20] Speaker A: What do you do when what if he's drafted to the Panthers? He's going to walk into his NFL.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: Career, the number one pick last year and drafted a quarterback. I don't think he's going to the Panthers. I know, but think about he's going to go to a bad team.
[00:38:32] Speaker A: Right. Think about that. The Bears probably the last time a good let me not say the last time. The last time I cared about a quarterback going to a bad team. It was Joe Burrow and they got lucky with doing the shit to their O line in the year he was out because he got fucking destroyed by them.
[00:38:50] Speaker B: I would disagree on that because then you have like Tua, he was top five pick. Look how he's turned.
[00:38:55] Speaker A: He got hurt for the majority of last season.
[00:38:59] Speaker B: Yeah, but right now they're one of the best. Right, but because he got hit, we.
[00:39:04] Speaker A: Have to have a little bit of a different argument for Tua because he's left handed. So they're not joe missed the whole was my, that's my argument is they couldn't cover him. They did that to help him because of that. So I don't know what happens with Caleb Williams in NFL. I'm excited to see it.
[00:39:22] Speaker B: I have him losing this game, though.
[00:39:24] Speaker A: I do too. I think Washington is going to win as well.
Over under 76 and a half. Yeah.
[00:39:31] Speaker B: It's going to be a high scoring game. Washington is going to score a shit ton on USC. USC is going to have to score a shit ton on Washington to even keep it close.
[00:39:38] Speaker A: I feel like me and you could score a shit ton on USC right now.
[00:39:41] Speaker B: If I was controlling a Madden team versus USC's defense, it'd be like playing me in Madden.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: Exactly 42 to seven or some stupid shit. Look, Caleb Williams is great, USC's defense is trash. They let up 33 points per game, which in all honesty, I think that's the sole reason they've lost.
Not being able to stop Notre Dame from scoring. Who else did they lose to right after that? I don't remember. But not being able to stop either team from scoring. No, I'm going to remember as soon as we stop recording.
[00:40:18] Speaker B: Me too.
[00:40:19] Speaker A: But anyway, not being able to pac twelve team. Not being able to stop them from scoring points.
Colorado, they're losing Colorado almost 39 to 37. Like stupid shit.
[00:40:31] Speaker B: They only Colorado score like 44 on them.
[00:40:33] Speaker A: Right. I think Washington is going to win here. I think you have two of the best college quarterbacks in the nation going at it this weekend.
[00:40:42] Speaker B: Big Pinix energy.
[00:40:44] Speaker A: What does that mean?
[00:40:45] Speaker B: The quarterback?
Oh, for Washington, who's one of the heisman favorites behind the game of the week's quarterback Jaden Daniels.
[00:40:57] Speaker A: Jaden Daniels is crazy.
[00:40:58] Speaker B: I mean, he is by far the best stats in college football right now.
[00:41:01] Speaker A: Well, I guess, look, my pick is Washington. Your pick's Washington? Yeah. So jumping right into the last game of the week.
[00:41:07] Speaker B: Game of the week.
The showdown, usually one of the games of the seasons every season. Well, this is, and this is a huge game right here.
[00:41:15] Speaker A: They planned this game, this point in the season, so both teams would be coming off of their buy.
[00:41:20] Speaker B: That's how it's always been.
[00:41:21] Speaker A: Really?
[00:41:22] Speaker B: Well, the past since that's pretty sick 15 years.
[00:41:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Hey, listen, whoever and Nick Saban whoever's the coach of the LSU Tigers right now and Nick Saban, Brian Kelly. No, I'm saying like they're doing this over the course of years. You all got to play after the buy so you got to be ready. This is a game of the year.
[00:41:43] Speaker B: Typically decides the SEC west.
[00:41:45] Speaker A: That's pretty crazy.
[00:41:46] Speaker B: Who decides to go to the SEC championship game this year?
[00:41:49] Speaker A: LSU is ranked 13th, Alabama is twelveTH.
[00:41:52] Speaker B: LSU finally getting their stride.
[00:41:55] Speaker A: Jaden Daniels is the number one quarterback leading the number one offense in the nation based on yards per game and.
[00:42:03] Speaker B: Receivers in the nation.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: This is going to be an exciting one. But they have a good defense. Defense.
[00:42:08] Speaker B: Their defense has been playing a lot better.
[00:42:10] Speaker A: It has been playing better but it has been bad all year.
[00:42:13] Speaker B: It was bad beginning of the season. It's average now. This is going to be a good game though, them versus Bama. Bama has a great defense, their offense has some explosive plays, but that's not great. So it's kind of a average offense with a great defense taking on the best offense in the nation in a.
[00:42:30] Speaker A: Subpar average to below average defense. Yeah.
[00:42:32] Speaker B: So it's going to be interesting to see how it goes.
[00:42:34] Speaker A: Right. I think Jaden Daniels can do the touchdown. Magic the touchdown.
[00:42:41] Speaker B: I think Jayden Daniels can score 45 points in Alabama.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: It's if they can LSU defense stop. Right.
[00:42:48] Speaker B: We don't even need to do it the whole game. We need a couple of turnovers.
[00:42:50] Speaker A: Really? Yeah, you need the crucial first half stop where it's like two minutes left in the second quarter. Get a pick, get a pick or just force a field goal. Like minimize the damage.
[00:43:02] Speaker B: College, the kicker, misses it, boom, oh, we're back in.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: It pretty much turnover or boom, boom, we have a chance to score because college games score all the time with 40 seconds left in the half. It's ridiculous how many times I've seen this this season.
[00:43:18] Speaker B: I'm banking on LSU's defense to step up. Obviously I'm a fan, I'm never going to pick against them. I think it's going to be like a 45, 41.
I don't know how I think LSU gets it done in Tuscaloosa.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: I agree. I think LSU wins. I think Jaden Daniels leading that offense to over 500 yards a game so far this season is going to be the key because regardless of the team Alabama has played good or bad, they haven't even been able to produce 300 yards of offense per game on average. So I think LSU is going to get the victory kind of go over the top and as you said, decide the SEC West here.
[00:43:58] Speaker B: So those are our five college games. Let's move on to the pro games we're going to cover this week. And the first one is the first game. Well, I guess it's not the Thursday night game, first game on Sunday, it's in Frankfurt, Germany, in Deutschland. And they don't always put these international games aren't always like marquee matchups. These are two of the best teams in the NFL playing in Germany, and.
[00:44:20] Speaker A: It'S coming at the best time because this is a I would argue it's a must win game for the Chiefs.
[00:44:27] Speaker B: It's not a must win.
[00:44:28] Speaker A: It's a must win if you want to be poised to get a great it's not a must win in the playoffs.
[00:44:37] Speaker B: The Chiefs are a team. If they're in the playoffs, they're fine. It's not a must win for the.
[00:44:41] Speaker A: Different we've seen a different performance from the Chiefs through and through this season.
[00:44:45] Speaker B: It's early.
[00:44:47] Speaker A: Eight weeks into the season. It's not early.
[00:44:49] Speaker B: They're six and two. What are you talking about?
[00:44:52] Speaker A: They've lost twice. They lost to the Broncos last week.
[00:44:55] Speaker B: It's the NFL six and two that's they're fine.
[00:44:59] Speaker A: All right, you'll see?
[00:45:00] Speaker B: No, I think you'll see this is what they do every year.
[00:45:03] Speaker A: We'll see.
[00:45:04] Speaker B: But yeah, Chiefs, Dolphins, dolphins, six and two.
[00:45:06] Speaker A: I think it's going to be a.
[00:45:07] Speaker B: Hard dick just because they're finally six and two.
[00:45:11] Speaker A: I don't think they're that good either.
[00:45:12] Speaker B: I think they're pretty good, but they haven't proven anything.
[00:45:15] Speaker A: I don't think winning in the regular.
[00:45:16] Speaker B: Season and winning Super Bowls is totally different.
[00:45:19] Speaker A: Right.
I honestly still think him being left handed is a big problem.
[00:45:25] Speaker B: I think it's going to be a close game. I think there's a very good chance the Dolphins win, but I think it's.
[00:45:30] Speaker A: A hot hit, the over kind of game.
[00:45:31] Speaker B: I'm picking the Chiefs 50 and a half. Travis Kelsey is not going to have a good game. Taylor Swift's not going to be in Germany.
[00:45:39] Speaker A: Why?
She doesn't just coincidentally have a concert that day.
[00:45:43] Speaker B: She got her own shit.
[00:45:44] Speaker A: Oh, okay. The heiress.
[00:45:46] Speaker B: She's busier than him.
[00:45:47] Speaker A: She's a billionaire. Yeah.
[00:45:48] Speaker B: That's nuts.
[00:45:49] Speaker A: Yeah, that's an extra three zeros. It's crazy. No, I think it is going to be a close game. Chiefs lost to the Broncos. Admittedly, they did lose in a snowstorm.
[00:45:59] Speaker B: So that's my home said the flu, too.
[00:46:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:46:02] Speaker B: I like how they threw it in before the game.
[00:46:06] Speaker A: They did throw it in before the game, but it's ah, we have an excuse. Ha.
[00:46:11] Speaker B: He's probably sick.
[00:46:13] Speaker A: Maybe we're probably going to lose. Jordan didn't lose when he had the flu. Just saying.
[00:46:18] Speaker B: He didn't even have the flu.
[00:46:19] Speaker A: Are the Dolphins going to use Waddle to their advantage in Germany? Are they going to get the touchdowns from Tyreek Hill? Yeah.
[00:46:26] Speaker B: I don't think going to Germany well.
[00:46:28] Speaker A: A lot of people when they go overseas because it's so uncommon in the NFL, a lot of you just get weird scoring games.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: I think it's going to be a high score game, but I think the.
[00:46:37] Speaker A: Chiefs I think it's going be to a looser game than typical, but I think the Chiefs are going to win. I agree.
[00:46:42] Speaker B: Chiefs figure out a way next game. Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, two teams that.
[00:46:49] Speaker A: Are doing pretty well this year, man. Nobody cannot get behind the can't.
[00:46:55] Speaker B: I think it's just because of is I don't the Ravens, nobody's talking about him, and right now they're looking, this is the best.
[00:47:02] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, they beat the shit out of the Lions.
[00:47:04] Speaker B: Lamar Jackson has looked, I think.
[00:47:07] Speaker A: Yeah. He's accurate.
[00:47:08] Speaker B: Very comfortable in the pocket. Very ambiguous.
[00:47:11] Speaker A: They didn't really even need Lamar Jackson against the Cardinals last week. They had Gus Edwards score three touchdowns on the ground with like I think.
[00:47:20] Speaker B: He did, like 81 yards.
[00:47:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Not even 90 rushing yards with three touchdowns. So it was a very poor game by the Cardinals.
[00:47:29] Speaker B: One thing to take a note is Seattle going to Baltimore. A lot of times the West Coast teams don't play great on the East Coast. That's a long trip for them. They're playing early, too, so it's like 09:00 a.m. Local time for them.
[00:47:41] Speaker A: So it just kind of screws with.
[00:47:43] Speaker B: Throws you everything, makes you a little tired. I'm taking Baltimore in this. I think Lamar Jackson is playing great this year. I think it benefits the Ravens that they're not the team everybody's talking about right now.
[00:47:55] Speaker A: Right. They're not having a shoulder, which I.
[00:47:57] Speaker B: Don'T know how, because usually they're one of the teams everybody talks about, but they're winning now and nobody's talking about them.
[00:48:02] Speaker A: I think it's because they're not making splashes. They're just going out there. I mean, they did beat the shit.
[00:48:08] Speaker B: Well, the team everybody's talking about now is the Bills, and they're kind of doing what the Ravens usually do yeah.
[00:48:12] Speaker A: Where they're supposed to be really good.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: And they're kind of shitting the bed left and right.
[00:48:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:17] Speaker B: But they're also winning games.
[00:48:18] Speaker A: Gino Smith has been just good enough to secure victories with the Seahawks. He's not been playing bad football by any standpoint, but he's just been since.
[00:48:28] Speaker B: He'S been in Seattle, he's been playing pretty good football.
[00:48:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Way better than any other point in his career. But this season, he's been more of a game manager than pro pro athlete we saw last year. Pro athlete.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: I'm just talking they're all pro athletes. What are we talking about? Don't disrespect the man.
[00:48:47] Speaker A: I'm not going to respect the man. Seattle has not the best run game, so I think the Ravens are going to win here. Honestly, jumping in.
[00:48:57] Speaker B: I'm taking Baltimore, too, if I didn't say that already.
[00:49:00] Speaker A: Yeah, you did. At least I think you did.
[00:49:02] Speaker B: And let's go to the game. We both were confused about it. I thought I fucked up the game. Turns out you fucked up what game we were talking about.
[00:49:08] Speaker A: I still don't know what game we're talking.
[00:49:10] Speaker B: The La. Rams taking on the Green Bay Packers.
Think the Rams come in three and four, packers, two and to.
[00:49:17] Speaker A: I don't know why I'm flipping my page. I don't have that written down.
[00:49:20] Speaker B: Packers, they all wanted Jordan Love to be the next aaron Rodgers after they had Bret Farr for so long. They have Aaron Rodgers for so long. They thought Jordan love next in line. They thought that not looking like it.
[00:49:32] Speaker A: They just thought that like, oh, if.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: We just packers quarterback, is he's going to be the quarterback for at least ten years, right?
[00:49:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:39] Speaker B: They fucked that up and it doesn't look like it.
[00:49:41] Speaker A: Packers seem to be a dumpster fire with the Rams not far behind.
[00:49:45] Speaker B: I wouldn't say the Rams are closer. Dumpster fire. They're just kind of average team three and four. They could beat any team in the NFL. Like, I wouldn't be surprised. But I also wouldn't surprise they lose any.
[00:49:56] Speaker A: It's just it's weird what they've been doing. You have Cooper Cup who's had a rough season so know he got hurt early on. He hadn't had the chance to bounce back a whole bunch yet.
[00:50:07] Speaker B: They have the young receiver stepping up.
[00:50:09] Speaker A: With the emergence of Puka Nakua. That's been great for I just I think it's a thing with like they don't have that rhythm that they need going into all these games.
[00:50:22] Speaker B: I think they'll have it this week, though. I think the Rams go into Green Bay and win. I don't trust Green Bay. I don't trust Jordan love at all. I don't think even Matt LaFleur might not even be a great coach. Maybe it was agree.
[00:50:33] Speaker A: I think I think the Rams are going to win this week.
I think, like I said, I think the packers are a complete dumpster fire. And I'm happy I live this far away from them at the moment.
[00:50:46] Speaker B: All right, so the last two NFL games we're going to cover are two huge games.
[00:50:52] Speaker A: Big implications.
[00:50:53] Speaker B: Big implications. One is a bona fide rivalry. One's kind of becoming a little bit of a rivalry just because they've both been good for a couple years. First one is going to be the Dallas Cowboys. Philadelphia Eagles.
[00:51:04] Speaker A: Divisional matchup.
[00:51:05] Speaker B: Divisional matchup, traditional rivalry. Eagles look like one of the best teams in the NFL. Cowboys look like kind of like the Rams, except they're a little better than the Rams. They beat the shit out of Rams.
[00:51:15] Speaker A: Cowboys are crazy, but they're a team.
[00:51:17] Speaker B: That could literally beat and compete with anybody, but also get they can go in and fuck the bed or shit the bed.
[00:51:24] Speaker A: Fuck.
[00:51:25] Speaker B: They could go in and shit the bed.
[00:51:26] Speaker A: They could go in and lose 42 to nothing, but go in and win 40. They have won 42 to nothing and lost damn near 42 to nothing.
[00:51:34] Speaker B: Yeah, the 49 ers blew them out.
[00:51:36] Speaker A: And they blew out the Giants.
[00:51:38] Speaker B: They blew out the Giants. They beat the shit out of other teams.
[00:51:41] Speaker A: It's weird.
[00:51:42] Speaker B: Cowboys are all over the place.
[00:51:43] Speaker A: I fully expect this to be a weird low scoring game.
[00:51:47] Speaker B: It's definitely going to be a low scoring game. I think Philly is one of those teams that kind of dictate when they play teams.
You got to play like they play right. They're going to muck it up. They're going to try to beat you.
[00:51:57] Speaker A: Like they're going to beat you nasty. If they're going to beat you, they're.
[00:52:01] Speaker B: Going to be nasty to you.
[00:52:02] Speaker A: Right.
[00:52:02] Speaker B: I do like Jalen hurts. I like Jason Kelsey. I like the way the Eagles play.
AJ. Brown has been going off first receiver ever. It's either five or six games in a row with 125 plus receiving yards.
[00:52:15] Speaker A: That's cool.
[00:52:16] Speaker B: He's been going off it's in Philly. I think these are the kind of games the Dallas Cowboys lose.
[00:52:24] Speaker A: Yeah, this is their mo.
[00:52:26] Speaker B: They lose the big time game. Everybody's going to be watching. The Cowboys are going to come shit the bed. I got the Eagles win. I got jalen hurts going definitely.
[00:52:35] Speaker A: I agree with you that this is the type of game that the Dallas Cowboys lose. They are one of the best defenses in the NFL right now. This of like that's kind of the mo they usually get. Right. They're spouted as being one of the best defenses in the NFL this year. They've been just defense.
Last week they were a good offensive team, but Dak has just been allowed to be a game manager. All is which is fine. I think it's going to be a low scoring game. But if Dallas wakes up, it's going to be trouble for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. I think Dallas is going to win this game. I think it's going to surprise everybody in a low scoring game.
[00:53:18] Speaker B: Oh, good luck with that one. Banking on the cowboys.
[00:53:21] Speaker A: I know I don't want to do it, but I'm going to. And the last one last football game. We got a rematch to the canceled game from last season.
[00:53:32] Speaker B: I think it's my two favorite quarterbacks in the NFL, too. Well, one's definitely my favorite. The other one might be my second favorite.
[00:53:37] Speaker A: We got the Buffalo Bills versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bingles coming in. They're playing at home. They got the three point home field advantage over under 48 and a half.
[00:53:48] Speaker B: Looks like the Bingles are finally turning on Joe Burrow.
[00:53:51] Speaker A: Finally looks healthy.
[00:53:52] Speaker B: I know that the 49 Ers have lost three games in a row now, but going into San Francisco and winning that game, the Bengals look good.
[00:54:00] Speaker A: They needed that, too.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: They needed that. Both teams needed that. That's why it's such an impressive.
[00:54:07] Speaker A: Buffalo. You know, they rebounded well with a win over Tampa Bay after losing the last time out.
Honestly, this is a good matchup. I think we're going to be seeing a different game than the Hamlin game from last year.
[00:54:22] Speaker B: Well, I mean, the Hamlin game was like a quarter, right?
[00:54:25] Speaker A: What we saw in the beginning of that game was Joe Burrow just marching down the field. They were on their way to score a second time and the game went over this. I think we're going to see a little bit of a more level playing field. I think the Bengals and the Bills are a little bit closer of a matchup in the team with the struggles the Bengals have faced so far. I still pick the Bengals, but I think it's going to be a little bit lower scoring game. I think it's going to be a little bit slower paced, kind of a feel each other out type of situation.
[00:54:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I think the Bengals win, too. I really like the Bills as well, but Bengals Joe Burrow is my guy. I think they're finding their stride.
[00:55:00] Speaker A: Something with the Bills have just kind of like they've been slow. I don't know if they just haven't looked near.
[00:55:08] Speaker B: I mean, some games when they play the Dolphins, they look like the best team in the NFL, and they look disinterested. Some games. I think the Bengals are turning. They're figuring it out. I think they're about to go on like a nice little run. Hopefully they're not peaking too early, but I think they're, like, on their way to peak right now. I got the Bengals.
[00:55:31] Speaker A: All right. And now we have stakes and takes the betting segment where we give you our best betting news for this week's games and picks and picks. That would be the take part last week. How'd you do, Christian?
[00:55:45] Speaker B: Last week I had a pretty good week picks. I went seven and three as it was all just football.
Four and one college, three and two in the NFL.
[00:55:54] Speaker A: I like it. I went four and one college as well. I got the sooners wrong.
[00:55:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I think we had the same college picks we did because I also had the Sooners wrong.
[00:56:02] Speaker A: I did two and three in the NFL. I got the Colts wrong, the Chiefs wrong. They lost to the Broncos, so they shit the bed bad there. And then the 49 Ers lost to the Bengals. But I'm not mad about that one at all.
[00:56:15] Speaker B: I had the Chiefs as well. So that's an L for me. I had the Steelers beating the Jags. That's an L. I did have the Saints beating the Colts, which I'm happy about that one because they beat your favorite team.
[00:56:25] Speaker A: Yeah, that never feels good. But it was like we said last week, it was the Split Decision Bowl, and you took the first crown.
[00:56:33] Speaker B: I mean, it decided our whole weeks of picks.
[00:56:35] Speaker A: It really did.
[00:56:36] Speaker B: You went six and four, I went seven.
[00:56:37] Speaker A: And it really, really did. And in stakes, I went three and two. I won three, lost two. I got the Louisville moneyline. It was a plus, Jaguars moneyline, and Bingles plus five and a half. Should have gone the money line there like you did.
[00:56:54] Speaker B: Oh, well.
[00:56:55] Speaker A: Lost Wake Forest plus 20 and a half. I really thought their defense was going to do enough to cover that.
[00:57:01] Speaker B: No, they blew that first quarter that up, and the.
[00:57:04] Speaker A: Rams did not cover six and a half. They barely were able to make the score look pretty by the end of the game. But they got absolutely dog walked by the Cowboys, like 42 to six or something crazy. It was not pretty.
How about for stakes? What did you do?
[00:57:21] Speaker B: I did four and one in bets this week, so pretty good. My only loss was a Steelers money line. They lost to the Jaguars. As I said, that was one of my picks. I was wrong. I got Oregon Ducks money line, right?
[00:57:31] Speaker A: At least you didn't do the thing where you picked one thing and then.
[00:57:35] Speaker B: Bet the other and then get both wrong.
[00:57:37] Speaker A: Right. You got like the opposite wrong, like the one that didn't matter, you got wrong.
[00:57:42] Speaker B: So I had Oregon Ducks moneyline, louisville Cardinals moneyline, cincinnati Bengals moneyline, new Orleans Saints moneyline, all four of those ones. So four and one. I will take that. Yeah, I needed that one.
[00:57:54] Speaker A: So for the standings for season zero of stakes and takes, brings me for my takes to 100 and 157 and two. Slight advantage over Christian of 97 61 and one. And for the stakes, still pretty close to even. 41 33 and two for myself and Christian. You're at 42 33 and one.
And then AI getting a very strong 53 24 and two so far. Very powerful performance from AI and you last week. I need to do some work on myself. So this week my stakes are going to be for the UFC armin Petrosian moneyline. You got any UFC bets?
[00:58:42] Speaker B: I have two UFC bets. I have one. That's actually my first parlay as one bet. I have both Bonfim brothers. They're both sizable favorites.
[00:58:50] Speaker A: Ismail and Gabriel Bonfim moneyline.
[00:58:53] Speaker B: Parlays as one bet as both of them winning moneyline.
[00:58:56] Speaker A: I like it. Cool.
[00:58:57] Speaker B: And then my second UFC bet is going to be the under on Almeida versus Lewis. The main event OOH.
[00:59:03] Speaker A: So you don't have to pick a favorite. You just get to do, you know, is it out yet? Is it two and a half?
[00:59:08] Speaker B: As of now, it's not out yet.
[00:59:09] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:59:10] Speaker B: Either the round or the ODS, right?
[00:59:12] Speaker A: I imagine that would be so it's a five round fight. That would probably be an under three and a half or under two and a half.
[00:59:17] Speaker B: No, because it's two guys that finish guys. I think it'll be under two and a half.
[00:59:21] Speaker A: Yeah, I like it. All right, so college, I picked Kansas State moneyline plus 165 and LSU moneyline plus 135 as my two college bets.
[00:59:33] Speaker B: I have one college bet, and I'm breaking my own rule every time I say it. I don't know why I do it, but I'm taking LSU moneyline, my favorite team.
[00:59:39] Speaker A: Well, look, last week you broke your own rule and the Saints won, so maybe you can strike twice.
[00:59:45] Speaker B: That is true. Okay, so just the one against my other big rule, which I picked against the Muslim Russian fighter this week.
[00:59:55] Speaker A: You picked against Abbas.
[00:59:56] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:59:57] Speaker A: Right. I didn't. I'm trying to take one out of your notebook for that fight here. Oh.
[01:00:02] Speaker B: If you win this, if you win that particular wins, I'm never not doing.
[01:00:08] Speaker A: Just a little, maybe six years down the line. I may once it comes full circle, but not until then. NFL, I got Kansas City money line, and then I'm taking the Bengals money line.
[01:00:22] Speaker B: I have two NFL bets as well. I have the Ravens money line, and then I have the Eagles money line.
[01:00:28] Speaker A: All right, so that'll give us all five stakes for this week. Fade us if you hate us. I'm not concerned with it because I know my five picks are going five and o this week.
[01:00:41] Speaker B: You know that's not happening.
[01:00:43] Speaker A: I haven't gone five and O yet.
[01:00:46] Speaker B: Neither one of us are going five and o this week. I'm hoping just for a winning record. I'll be happy with a winning record.
[01:00:52] Speaker A: Well, your confidence betting gods is in the toilet.
I'm cool with either. No matter what happens, I'm having fun.
[01:00:59] Speaker B: So I think that about wraps up episode 20. Here a split decision. Check us out. Next week, we're going to review UFC Sao Paulo. We'll take a look ahead to UFC 295, which is a big fan favorite fight. It is with Yuri Prohoskov, Alex Perea. That's the main event, the new main event. And then we'll also take a look, of course, at NFL and college football games.
[01:01:22] Speaker A: Did you know some cats are actually allergic to humans?
It's cracking. Like, it's cracking.
Wait for.
