I see, I'm mad at you, all right, Lamar.
Mitchell from bet MGM me the director of trade, and that's coming up with sir in about twenty seven minutes. Also call and the NFL pigs can pick off that as coming your way as well.
We had to make it to the We had to go to the postseason with it since we tied.
Yeah, I'm not that happy about it, rob G. It's so it's so easy. He didn't know what his picks are. You could have just said I won and that would have been it. I had a one game lead. He doesn't know it.
You know, I'll be texting you over the week. What was the spread? What today? There was one where you asked me like, oh, what did I pick? Exactly?
You'll say what the odds? And I give you the number. You're like, damn, And then you ended up picking the right side of it. And how did you forget that you had the right side?
Now?
Could I be down in their paranok?
I went from not caring that much about it to now, uh, you y'all got me because I gotta be Rob. So now I care more like I just want a good game. I want to be a competitive nove over here. What they lose by?
What was it?
Okay? Good?
I mean not good at it lost, but good? It was in the range? You know, Rob, g uh. We were doing this a little bit yesterday. These you were breaking down these upsets and how there's like one point.
Five every every wildcard round. It's a crazy stat.
On average, historically we have one and a half upsets during Wildcard weekend. And when I say upsets, I don't mean the odds and things like that.
With Vegas right right.
The way the NFL classifies it is if the lower seed beats the higher seed, usually.
On the road, and that is really that is really an upset. That's an upset. So it's one and a half.
You know, historically, in fact, forty of the last forty six seasons we've seen at least one. So by all accounts, we are going to see at least one upset this weekend in wildcard weekend. So the Athletics surveyed eight anonymous coaches and executives. They asked them to make their picks for each game in this wildcard round. And the two teams that they expect to win outright, that's lower seeds are the Chargers against the Texans and the Vikings now on a neutral site against the ram Would you guys agree that those are the most likely? And if not, which other games do you keeping an eye on?
Yeah? That for sure? Uh, those those two are the two. Now. Now the Texans, I mean that's what they keep. They stay in games even when you're like disappointed, but they're not. Can we admit from a year ago like they're not that team? No?
No, And we've talked this team Stroud, who I still like, but he is taking a step back, and this was a team that step back.
When they got Stefan Diggs. What, Oh, they're going to super Bowl? Remember that, Oh, they're going to the super Bowl. What the Texans are I'm like, they're bypassing the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens.
The people realize the m v P. Yes, they're going to super Bowl.
Yeah, we should go back and go look it over to some of that those preseason predictions, you won't even believe it where people.
Were trying to be ahead of the game with two But yeah, I mean, listen to tech. The Chargers. They're playing good football now. Justin Herbert has played the most efficient football of his career because Jim Harbaugh knows how to stabilize quarterbacks and you know, I'm gonna run the ball, I'm but get it out of your hands some you just make the right play when you need to. Because we run the ball so much, play action passes will be available. Justin Herbert's doing that with not a lot of talent on the offensive. And you know, usually the Chargers have always had a bunch of offensive talent, so much so that we always end up being disappointed in the playoff part of because we're like, like we wanted more from the Chargers, So that doesn't surprise me that the Chargers would. You know, we had the Texans getting beat again.
CJ.
Stroud hasn't been playing well like he had been last year, and then the Vikings. I agree with what Sean King was saying earlier, with just that the Rams being at home McVeigh knowing O'Connell, he was up under his staff, you know, and we got this game at home where we already beat you at was it be a different little feel to this. I might have actually picked the Rams, but now it's a neutral site, taking away that little bit of luster that the Rams may have had. And I do believe Vikings being ticked off the how they lost to the Lions trying to make a statement again and get back at the Lions the following week.
I think that makes sense.
I just didn't I didn't like I don't like where the Rams offense has been lately, and that was my why I would.
Have picked the Vikings.
Yeah, either way, I really would have a fair looking like a field goal team. It just there was a struggle. But the Chargers three and five against teams over five hundred.
And that's my issue with that team. That's not not you know.
And you can say, well, if you're four and four, it just didn't feel good, and they won a.
Couple late, you know what I mean to make it respectable.
But if I remember, they might have started like one and four against teams over five hundred, and they beat up the other teams and they want to they got to play who's on the schedule. I just don't know how good they are, really, I really don't the Chargers. The Chargers, I don't know how good they are. And now you're not playing any teams that are under five hundred. Everybody's a playoff team, yep. And the one thing I will say, like I mentioned, is they at least are starting to play some type of football where they can stay competitive and be in these games. It's not always have to be shootouts, it doesn't always have to be on Justin Herberts that got throw forty pass fit like they're they are in a game where they can stay in these games. They can have run the ball even if it is about we ran for one hundred and forty fifty yards, but they just stay running the game and be running the ball, keeping the defense honest. It allows for Justin Herbert to produce and the defense, now the defense got to improve. The start off good and they kind of start slipping through the end of the season. But Jim Harbaugh, listen, he's got them where they wanted to, probably ahead of schedule on them. Did they play the Ravens.
Ravens and they almost beat the Chiefs. Then the Raiders be acting like they want to do something. Then they go raider on us and we don't know what happens. Rob g that was your time to speak raider, like, we don't speak flowing raiders. So you're supposed to. You're supposed to tell us what's be going on up. I mean, it hasn't been good. What's going on?
But you gotta be happening and making changes then not sitting on their hands.
Yeah, I'll tell you what I don't want to. I don't want to compare apples oranges.
But it's similar.
To when Magic Johnson came in and started running the Lakers, where you're like, oh, man, you know Magic Johnson's the legend.
He's a sharp guy.
Business wise, you know he's gonna make all the right moves and then he kind of didn't like, you know, he gave away if he's a Zubac for nothing, like you know, he he he was punting on draft picks because he was just he was so singularly focused on three years from now getting Lebron James, which it worked out, and I remember how that might happen with Tom Brady, like Tom Brady might be so singular focused on bringing back Belichick or Vrabel and getting the Patriot away going that you know, he might missed the bonus.
Rob G was so mad at Magic. I remember the dad to talk him out of it. He was going to go down to the Crypto or at the time with a wet blanket and throw it over Magic statue, and I was like, rob G, don't do that.
First of all, no, I hey, listen, I understand it magic with Todd, but I don't think magic is what's the term. I want to use maniacal as Tom Brady, where's Matt? I got this, I got the Commanders, I got this business, I got I got my team, I own.
He has his own TV network, Aspire.
I think Magic would be like I want to be around, be involved, but I don't want to do every single thing day to day to grind it out that it would take.
I mean he said that when he left too.
But Tom Brady, I think if he's like if I'm in, he's going to be maniacol with it.
Like he hasn't been like that with Fox. What's the problem.
Well, also because he can't, So I think he's better off in this position. You know why, Rob, because he needs something competitive. He's still close to it. I need to this to be just talking about it as class cool but being a part of it, trying to build this so we can win. And like that's what he's your point? He did, I mean allegedly sacrifice his whole family to play.
Football, right because his wife, I mean like legitimately reports that said, hey, you go back to getting the doors right, I'm done that man said forty.
And now she's got a bun in the oven. You know what I mean. They're not even split up, right, didn't you get it? I mean, I don't know the technical they're split up, but I don't know she has a butt in the oven. Rob.
Yeah, which, by the way, that's that's that's a lot of quick getting to the buns and of and like whether I know we broke up and everything, but dang you you ain't wait.
But when she's an older woman, how long long you wanted to wait?
First of all, you got you already got kids. What you need more kids for her? No, I is what I would be doing a vice time. I'll be calling, hey, hey, I ain't saying we got to be together.
Dang, I need a kid with my new man knows why. That's what it is. I need a kid with him.
Add a little extra sauce to it. Ye, yes, I mean like she really want to be with him, like I want to start a family with him. That was the one thing, and that rose to Tom Brady where he was like that one really funny you cheated. You must had to play the balls because you're not. Then yeah, I see why, just leven, you can't even keep it from a trainer. That He was like, that was the one time I wanted to that whole thing.
Like, no, man, what are you saying right now? You know your kids are gonna beat it? No? No, no, no no. And I was like, oh, well, you set the soap up for you.
That that rose so I had a pause of a few times I was uncomfortable, but it was good though.

You got a couple of the experts.
Pick the Chargers over the Texans, the Vikings over the Rams.
What about you a seven seven ninety nine on Fox?
We got all right, Chili Tim in Atlanta. You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Tim?
Hey? Whatever?
Birthday?
Thank you, my man, appreciate it.
My wife's birthday is tomorrow.
Is that right? She's a Capricorn too. You taking care of her? What y'all doing tomorrow?
Uh?
Yeah, man? You know how Atlanta shuts down.
Yeah, it's snow and y'all got a little bit. Y'all got the real young jeezus snowman out there. Everybody building a jeezy snowman.
What do you got to what he got? Two inches out there?
Yeah, something like that. She's the Queens girl, Like you said, it don't really bother her.
No, I would call that the Alex snowstorm robber, just a few inches short.
Some lady, some lucky young lady in Magic City was hollering when you announced the number two on that case. I heard that was like a lottery numbers.
Charles girl, number two, Come.
On down, Come on down.
But I was.
I got a feeling that if I'm looking at the upset, I think either the Bills or the Ravens will lose this we can I just got a ceiling. Don't ask me what. I just had to say. One of those two would lose this weekend.
I can see the Bills.
I just I feel like the Ravens on the row because the Bills have not looked good the last few weeks. Josh didn't finish the season strong. Uh, you know, their defense may they were blowing off the lot and they still, you know, gave up a bunch of points.
They don't have that advantage because Denvers used to playing in the snow.
And that's very true.
There's no advantage to uh.
Normally that should be work in their favorite that's true.
If they lose this weekend, okay, and it.
Would Knicks might mess around and Josh Allen, Josh Allen, you know what I mean, They run it sing, you know what I mean, his legs getting out there. You never know, Yeah, I could see. I would be shocked at the Steel right now. Just they're playing man too.
If the Ravens lost this game, I'd be stunck.
They got a double digit there, double digit dogs. That's crazy.
Who we got Darren and Maryland. You're on the couple of Fox Sports. D. I thought even about the DC Aaron, there we go, yo, D we lost them all right, she must start yelling on them.
What are you doing?
I thought, I asked you to go take down those Christmas lights, baby, I want to.
Follow with our lights Christmas trio. Please.
First of all, first of all, please tell me fral your brow No, rob g is your tree still up the front?
Don't front? No, it is not. Thank you foly took it down. I took it down like a week and half ago. Your tree is still up. It's the lights that took me. Watch out. You're that lazy that this is a tree still.
This isn't a lazy thing. This is at Washington's. We like my wife like enjoys it. So the stuff will go down this weekend. Like when I left earlier, she was taking some of the random you know, the briefs and this and that and all down.
So yeah, that tree will come down, but.
No due I think we'd have made it to February, speaking of two, and then we made it to the second Mother of the Years.
That's quite crazy times with the tree walking by with a tree sitting there?
Why?
Why?
Why? What's wrong with our tree?
The tree needs to come down this Jed worry first, you can't have a treating.
It's bad luck. That's bad luck. It's bad it's bad luck.
Putting your bare butt cheeks on a seventy six bathroom, No, but I.
Don't put I hover, Alex.
I told nobody believes in your hamstring muscles that way. But your quads ain't doing on that, Rob.
I've seen you fast step. I'm doing like this. Look I could do a watch. Look at you shaking barely making it.
Looks like those wacky inflatable arm guys.
Right you do it look like I'm going by a used car dealership. That's what you look like right there, Alex. If you got to go, sometimes you gotta go.
That's Reldless. We all been there. But Alex, come on, Rob, I would believe you.
Tell me Homer Simpson skipped a donut before you hovering over a seventy six.
Hey, I've been in it a like whatever you're using a public restroom, Yes, you're only using it for one reason to go? No, could you really have to go if you don't really have to go, you wouldn't use a public restroom.
Yeah, we ain't really got to go number two though I've been in there in the public rest We've all been there where we gotta do what you gotta do, what you gotta do. It sounds like that. It sounds like they're tuning up a tuba section. I mean, that's how bad it is.
Why is that one of those few things in life where you're more embarrassed than the person and you didn't even do it.
You're like, oh God, let me do what I gotta do. I want to get out of here.
You're like, this is I'm yeah, yeah you have. You've ever been in there, Alexa, especially like a company one where everybody you know you're there, you're working. You got let me lift my shoes up real quick. Let me lift my shoes over it. And no, they can't know it's me.
No, I lift my shoes up, Elijah, they ain't about to know it's me. Oh, don't go dub right there. I knew that was dub. Those are Travis Scott's. That's gotta be I's gotta be right. It's definitely hovering right now.
That's right right there. I know those Scotts when I see him. Yeah, I left my shoes. You're not about to see me, and they know me like that. It's a natural act.
Yeah, but you ain't got to know me like that. So I spectrum.
We have these nice all right, one thing about me probably to a fault, and I'm gonna smack all you off. Y'all disagreement, So just get prepared to get slapped.
Here we go that I'm Roger.
I feel like i'mna slapp you for the most I'm a Elijah.
I'm a very humble dude. Rob Gee. You agree.
Uh, that's like me saying I'm a nice guy. There you go, are a nice guy, though, But I don't have to say it. No where I'm going with this though. Here it is where I'm going. You'll like where I'm going, Alex.
So, I'm uncomfortable that at the job, myself and everybody on the camera we get to parking, each gets talent, and I feel weird, you know, because like I feel like, why do I get to park here and everybody else is like talent?
Oh, you get to do talent? Are your talents? You get it. I'm always uncomfortable with that.
However, the one thing I do like is we have these bathrooms that are all nice and everybody but everybody uses them. And then every now and once in a while, like I call her the mom of the station, she lets everybody know those are for talent only our guests, you know, in the green room.
That is the one time Alex where I'm like, I'm talent to get out.
That's it because it's private, it's only one star, it's it's big, it's not I feel good. That's the only one time I'm like talent, talent, talent coming through the bathroom.
I mean, we have it here. It's not talent, but at least it's one. You know, that's true, you know what I mean? But then one then being in like yeah, with a bunch of people.
It's too much privacy though here, like the one bathroom, I might as well just take my pants off at that point, Well.
Well, didn't do that. But wait, first of all, we don't want to see that. Secondly, we wouldn't. It's by myself.
But what's wrong with that? I don't I don't want to be in here. Hear somebody in there beat boxing? Why I'm not with their mouth.
It's not the God. I question your fiber and take it.
I don't want somebody there, everybody. You know you, you know sadly you're the anomaly. You feel me get you get what I'm saying.
I do. But I remember epicenter of people wanting to be like Rob G's trying to get abs.
Yet the minute Rob Parker opens up the cookies, Rob d metamorphed through the glass like he just got through here.
Because we're already clear.
I don't want to go through the process of to earn the abs he wants.
I want to fast track it right.

It is time for our man, Lamar Mitchell Beten, GM Director of Trading.
What's up, Lamar and Lamar? We already know you guys were scrambling today.
Yeah, what's up, fellas, what's up? Thanks for having me yet yesterday it was a great day with the result with Notre Dame winning last night, and we're looking at the Texas crowd down here. It's a it's a big, big crowd of Texas fans and we'll see what happens with the pros this weekend.
No, what about okay?
And I know Kelvin's wants to ask you about Lamar and having to scrambled with those odds.
Yeah, after the.
News came out about uh the uh the All Pro.
Yeah, let's talk about it. So we got that. We just talked about the Old Pro All Pro that comes out yesterday. Josh Allen was a consensus MVP favorite with odds as low as five hundred, and then today, after Lamar Jackson was named first Team on Pro by the exact same people who vote for the MVP, right, those odds flipped to Lamar is now two sick favorite as an odds maker, how jarring shocking matter of twenty four hours.
What could happen?
You know, on these markets where it's MVP, it's so volatile. It just changes. It's like what's the flavor of the day, really, I mean it changes so fast. One day it's Josh, one day it's Lamar. Same thing we saw when it was at the basketball with Nicola Djokovic and when it was the guy honest or indeed, Yeah, so it just changes so much. So we just you know, we just where the money is going. We we we follow the money and dress accordingly.
All right, Speaking of Lamar, as great as he is, he's just wanted four in his last five games against Pittsburgh. This week, Baltimore is holding a pretty firm ten point home favorite, all right, ten point home favorite against the Steelers.
How much action are you seeing on Pittsburgh in this spot?
We're not seeing a lot of action on Pittsburgh from the pros on this The Joe's are actually it's about fifty to fifty on this side here, but the Sharks are definitely all on the Ravens here. Talking to some Steeler fans here in the offense, they kind of like this spot for him because it's a lot of disrespect for the Steelers and the Steelers know how to get up against the Ravens. But like I said, the Pros definitely are on the Ravens here and the Joe's are about even. Money's about two to one though in favor of the Steelers.
Though, you know, Lamar still.
Is our public team, aren't they, I mean, don't they have a big following on They do have a big fan base.
Yeah, definitely was one of the biggest fan bases.
Yeah, they travel too.
Everybody thinks the Bucks and Commanders is going to come down to Baker Mayfield versus Jays and Daniel, But the truth is this one is going to we Want and the Trenches. In the second half of the season, Tampa had the number two rushing attack. A lot of people didn't know that. And on the flip side, Washington defense ranked thirtieth against the run, So that I obviously seem to be the advantage to the Bucks.
But where are the Sharks on this one?
You know, the Sharks that played the side both ways? They laid the three taken back on some of the three. Good two way action from the Sharks here, and believe it or not, the pro the Joes are the same good two way action fifty to fifty split, but a slight edge money coming from the on the Bucks side about two to one in favor of the Bucks here.
All right, Buffalo a no at home this season with an average margin of victory of seventeen points per game. And if that wasn't bad enough, over the last ten season, rookie quarterbacks like bow Knicks, are zero to five outright in one and four against the spread on in road playoff games. Is anybody out there taking Denver plus nine in this spot?
The money says that they are. Money is about six to one in favor of the Broncos. But the pros they're just laying that number eight, eight and a half up to nine. So yeah, I mean the numbers that you just said to me indicate definitely that this should be, especially what the Sharks think that this should be. Builds and builds, mafia all the way. But tickets are split fifty to fifty. But money surprisingly enough, uh, six to what a favor of the Broncos.
Yeah, I mean we talked about it earlier.
I said bow Knicks might have a chance to look like Josh Allen against Josh Allen. You know what I mean, if they can, uh the way the Bills defense has been struggling as of late. All Right, now that step of my mind, Lamar, when I ran it this morning, you got Stefan Dick since he Tori's ACL in Week nine, the Texans has the twenty seventh ring offense in the league. When you think about CJ. Stroud, everybody's excited, got mixing. That's not the case. They have not been playing well, so I guess this should be no surprise that eleven, but they're seventeen games this season went under the total. How much action are you seeing on the total in this game against the Chargers?
Oh my god, this mas shit total down open forty three. Soon as we up at forty three, laid it down to forty two and a half, went to forty two, went to forty one and a half. Where we're at right now, But no action on the total over here. Everything is on the under here. The Sharps are definitely on the under here. So yeah, we're definitely looking at money coming in the under on this game here.
All right, In the last three games where Matthew Starford at Stafford and all the starters played, the Rams have average just fourteen points a game, and given what we saw in their offense coming down the stretch, I have to believe that the betters are all over Minnesota minus two and a half?
Right? Is that? And it's a neutral site?
Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, we had it one one and a half and as soon as it went to a neutral site, the betters went straight and laid that number up to two to two and a half, and we're not seeing a lot of action on the rams and you know, as far as that from the Sharps the public though, it's even even on this money here and even on the account. But the Sharks are definitely laying the pointier with the Vikings at Arizona, the rim in Arizona.
All right, So here's one lamar talking about the Eagles.
As good as they are, they haven't notoriously been slow start as we know that. In fact, they went scoreless in the first quarter ten times this season, which doesn't make sense when I've told you they were fourteen and three, and it make matters worse. This week they face a top five scoring defense and the Green Bay Packers. Where are the Sharps on this one, both against the spread and maybe even with the total hone on total?
Definitely they we open this up forty six and a half and they bet this down to forty five and a half. So the Sharks are definitely betting this game under. But when you look at it the public on this side here, they're about four to one if favor the Eagles, and about seven to one money coming in on the Eagles. But the Sharks have been split down on this. I mean, initially when we weren't sure what was going on with Hertz, it was you know, packer money, packer money, packer money from the Sharps, and then once we find out Hurt is coming back, it's Eagle money, Eagle money coming in. So they've been very busy in this game. And this is our biggest bet game so far from the Sharps as far as money from on both sides, just laying the points and taking the points. So it's hard to say, but definitely the public is definitely on the Eagles here, all right.
Last one, we said earlier this hour that there's been at least one upset in the NFL wild card around in forty of the last forty six years. Is there one underdog in particular that the pros and the Joe's.
Can agree on as the team to get it done this year?
Based upon what it looks like, it looks like it would be the Packers, because, like I say, even though they've been betting that laying the points, they've been taking the points as well too. So something tells us that out of all these dogs, that's the only one that's really getting any significant action from the Sharps, and that's the packers.
All right, there you have it. He is Lamar Mitchell. Bet MGM, Lamar, have a great weekend. We're gonna have great football. Mitchell's a winner. Lamar Jackson's a winner. I'm just saying, I'm trying to think any of the Lamars we got out there.

Yes, so check this out.
History may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. That's a quote by Mark Twains twenty years ago. In two thousand and four, the Steelers had fifteen wins and the number one seed, The Patriots had fourteen wins and the number two seed, and the Colts had thirteen wins and the number three seed. Peyton won MVP.
That was the year.
He had one hundred and twenty passer rating. This year, the chiefs of the one seed with fifteen wins, the Bills have thirteen and the Ravens have twelve. Lamar is having a great season. And even though you know he's got the better weapons, just like how Peyton had better weapons than Brady, Who's gonna win the MVP because he played the best. It's gonna be Lamar.
Yeah, with the with the one hundred and nineteen quarterback waiting, Oh there, we knows you.
Yeah, were awesome, but hey, good point. We'll have to wait to see. But it is that time.
Now we got to get to saying we have to wait and see. Eleve is straight stop it you ready.

Game number two Steelers at the Ravens a divisional showdown. Ravens ten point home figure has a huge number double Do you like?
