In this hour of Cashing Out, Joe Ceraulo recaps today's Conference Championship Games. Plus, Joe previews Super Bowl LIX.
This is cashing Out on v SID the SPORTSMANI Network.
Oh baby, welcome in to a whole new hour of cashing Out with Joe sala. We are fresh off of two conference championship games super Bowl fifty nine in New Orleans.
The matchup is set.
It's a familiar one Super Bowl fifty seven rematch Eagles Chiefs. I cannot wait to see these two teams go at it again.
In two weeks. We'll get to.
Sound from all the coaches and all the quarterback from Sunday's two games. I'm excited to hear from it. I'm excited to hear from our guy, Nick Whalen over at Road to Wire. We'll have him on shortly to break down conference championship action and look ahead to Super Bowl fifty nine. I want to hear from you, folks. You want your breakdown of the games. I want your best bets, your worst beats, your piping hot take share them with us at the Joe Sorollo on Twitter, at Joe Sorallo on Instagram, We'll share them with the world. But man, oh man, at the end of the day, you just can't bet against Patrick Mahome, not in the playoff, not at arrowhead, not under any circumstances. If you enjoy making money now. He didn't get there on all of our bets. Some prop hit somemb props hit, some didn't. The over rush attempts was a gold mine over four and a half. We only had to lay five cents for it. He had eleven carries, including the two kneel downs at the end, but nine true carries ran the ball A ton went way over his rushing yards number feeded that by about twenty. But we couldn't get there on my favorite play, the longest carry over twelve and a half. He had three separate carries for ten eleven and well couldn't get thirteen on the twelve yard carry, which he did early. I mean I thought he had it. He decided to pit a pattern and go out of bounds. I thought two to three more yards he could have gotten fifteen on that one, and it just seemed like he prematurely stepped out of bounds on that carry. But we get there on the biggest bet of the weekend, the Chiefs minus one and a half made it a three unit play.
It was a two U play.
Added another unit to it after we lost on the Commanders early, and we got home there and Kansas City yet again going to the Super Bowl, going for the three peat, the elusive three peat that has yet to be done in NFL history.
We have not even had a back to back champ make it to a Super Bowl in year three.
Of the eight teams that have gone back to back, three had made it to their respect conference championship game, and all three of those squads had lost the conference championship game. So the Chiefs buck that trend. But the Bills could not buck the trend that is losing to Kansas City in the postseason. Josh Allen balls to oh and four. And I'm not pinning this on Josh Allen, but hey, that's what we do.
We look at.
Quarterback versus quarterback. It was Brady versus Manning, it was Brady versus Mahomes. Now it's Mahomes versus Allen, and Josh Allen is now oh and four versus Kansas City in the postseason. For all of the success Buffalo has enjoyed in the regular season against Kansas City oh to four in the playoffs, let's hear from the leader of the Chiefs. One of the best postseason coach is one of the best coaches.
Of all time.
Andy Reid on what this rivalry has truly become.
I'd like to take my hat off here to the Buffalo Bills and the great job that Sean's done with that group and his coaches and players. Every time we play him, it's one to store away in the history books. It's just they're great, phenomenal games, and it's great for the fans.
It's great for the league.
They always are phenomenal games, almost always. The first conference championship was a dud. The three games since have been down to the wire. I mean, at the end of regulation, they've all been within three points. They're closer, right The six point game was the overtime game, and that was the best game of them all. The Divisional round game in what was that January of twenty twenty two before the Chiefs ultimately lost to Cincinnati in that Super.
Bowl right here where I am currently.
In lost or rather in the AFC Championship game, and then the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl where I am in Los Angeles. But nonetheless, these Kansas City Buffalo games are always terrific. I thought this was of the four meetings in the postseason. I thought this was the second best game. Buffalo had such a legitimate chance late in the game to get it done, and you left Allen, you put up three, You left Allen a lot of time. Buffalo had such a good chance to at the very least tiet if not take the lead. But then it came down to a crucial fourth and six And I got to say a week ago for all the flack that we gave Mark Andrews, and that was a much more catchable ball than the Kincade ball. But Josh Allen, all things considered, got the ball in a very catchable spot for Dalton Kincaid. It was like a center field They're coming in on a ball, trying to make a shoe string catch on a little blooper that's falling fast, and Kinkay got his fingertips on it. And if you get your fingertips on it at the pro ranks, you got to catch it. And I'm sorry, Dalton Kinkad, this loss is not on you. But conference championship game, these moments are what winners are made of. You gotta make that cat. You don't win a conference, you don't go to a Super bowl without making the big plate, and that was a massive play. The fact that Josh Allen got rid of that ball was pretty extraordinary because he was sprinting backwards. He was falling to the ground as he let her rip, and that fall, that catch, if Kincaid holds, it puts Buffalo in distant but reasonable field goal rate. Tyler Bass had already hit a fifty three yarder that would have put the Bills in position for a fifty two yarder. But oh, by the way, fresh set of downs, plenty of time left on the clock. Buffalo would have really been in business with that one. And I don't know how the ball wasn't intercepted. I don't know how it wasn't batted down. There were two Chiefs defenders right there in the area, but Kincaid was able to get his hands on it. And I'm sorry at that point, you gotta make the cat. Kansas City gave Buffalo, I thought, so many opportunities to hang around in a game where the Chiefs should have stepped on the Bills throats early. When Kansas City got the ball back fourteen to ten, up fourteen to ten with four minutes to go in the first half, That was when the.
Chiefs should have ended a game.
That was when I was waiting for the long drive to end in either three or seven. Ultimately they got seven, but they let Buffalo march right back.
Down on them. I mean they should have.
I was waiting for them to end the first half with the ball, start the second half with the ball, and come away with at least ten unanswered and a twenty four to ten lead, in which case, at twenty four to ten into the third quarter probably would have been ballgames. But they scored end the first half, they let Buffalo right back down the field. Allen finds Hollins, they answer immediately on what I thought was an inexcusable defensive laps by Kansas City's secondary, and then next thing you know, it's Buffalo with the unanswered touchdowns back to back, no extra points to show for it, but twelve straight points. And next thing you know, Buffalo, when they could have just as easily been down twenty four ten, is up twenty two to twenty one, and it's oh crap mode for the Kansas City Chiefs. But it really never is oh crap mode for the Kansas City Chiefs because down the stretch Mahomes was in control, did what he had to do get him back on the board. They scored ten late in response to that, or I should say eleven late in response to that, because there was a two point conversion in there.
And then Kansas City's.
Defense is just all reliable and Steve Spagnola, you know, everyone says Alan versus Mahomes. I mean, look, the quarterback's going up against the defense. Something about Steve Spagnola. He seems to have Josh Allen's number, and he seems to in the biggest moments, Alan'll you know, he'll put up his numbers and he'll move the ball and he'll get his But in the biggest moments, Bagnola's defense just seems to leave him flustered and defeated. And that's what Alan looked like after the game. He looked defeated. Let's hear from the Bills quarterback after his fourth great postseason loss to Kansas City.
So good, relaxed. I just, yeah, gotta gotta execute better.
Well, They've ended a lot of a lot of team seasons too.
It's a good squad. They had a good play to night, and again they made more more play than we did.
I mean, that guy just looks so defeated, he looks so demoralized.
It just you gotta feel for him. I mean, at the end of the day, it really is that simple.
And I know there are people out there who say, oh, these are pro athletes, they're making millions of dollars. He just got engaged to a model or an actress or whatever she is. You know, I've gotta go. I've got to wake up at five am tomorrow and go to my job. I don't have to feel for him. I'm sorry. I feel for that guy. He's beaten Kansas City in the regular season.
Just when you have I.
Think you're over the hump, You've got the answer, You've got the solution. He falls flat and his team falls flat in the playoffs.
Time after time after time.
At the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs. Four times in the last five seasons. Their year has ended thanks to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City chief You got a feel for the guy. It's demoralizing as hell. But to me, what it comes down to, if you watch that Week eleven regular season game, Buffalo blew their load. In that game, they showed their hand, they revealed all the tricks that they had, and they left it all out there for a week eleven games. Kansas City never reveals their hand in the regular season in Kansas City, who at the time had a couple games of cushion.
For the one seed in the AFC, was comfortable.
Letting Buffalo walk away the victors in Week eleven, knowing that in the playoff they would have tricks up their sleeve offensively, defensively on special teams that Buffalo didn't see that Buffalo wasn't prepared for, like the Mahomes design RPO run from the ten to run in the end zone, lower his shoulder into Tomorrow Hamlin and get him. Mahomes can scramble, but we never see designed runs for Mahomes, and that was executed to perfection the Steve Spagnola blitz scheme. Josh Allen didn't see him coming. That's why when he was pressured, he was just one per eight for four yards because Alan, we never talked about Allen like this was seeing ghosts with that Steve Spagnola cover zero blitz scheme out there.
In this one, we'll.
Look at the NFC Championship came up next, cashing out with Joe Sorolla, Welcome back.
To Catching out here on v send the Sports Bening Network.
Catch You Now continues with me, Joe Serralo's taking you through your Sunday night all the way into your Monday morning here on the Big Show, fresh off of a pair of conference championship games, and the Washington Commanders could not have had much of a better opening drive than the one they drew up.
But that was about the only bright side in that game in Philadelphia Sunday, early afternoon, and they opened the game. It was just like Notre Dame. It was eerily similar to the opening drive. Notre Dame had a lot of big third down conversions. You sprinkle in some fourth down magic on that drive as well.
Your eight clock.
You run eighteen plays over seven minutes like Washington did.
And then they get.
Down of the sixteen yard line and it's fourth and three and a team that's already I believe at that point three for three on that drive, third and fourth down combined, they kick it. Now, I'll admit, at the time, watching the game in real time, I did not have any vehement opposition to them kicking that field goal. You know, it wasn't a clear cut take the points situation for me. There are some people who are black and white, you know, oh, old school take the point right.
I appreciate that in certain circumstances.
I was on the fence in this one, and so I didn't in the moment they all Quinn should have gone for It's gonna come back to bite them. No, it was early, but hindsight's twenty twenty and those four points, that four point difference between a field goal or a potential touchdown certainly would have come in handy when Philadelphia immediately answered first off great kick return. The Eagles started with terrific field position and Barkley gets them home with like a sixty yard run, and then you blink and it's fourteen to three, and all of a sudden, Washington, I believe, because they settled for three and they didn't have seven, went to desperation mode too early in this one, and the Commanders just seemed to have dug themselves too deep of a hole in the first quarter to come out of. Even when the game went from fourteen three to fourteen twelve relatively quickly, you know, the decision to go for two there so early, it just seemed like they were overmatched, and it seemed like they were desperate, and then the turnovers start coming in the fumbles, and you're only getting more desperate. It was almost a mirror image of the team Washington beat a week ago. They looked like the Lions who when they were down twenty four to fourteen, they looked desperate. And then Ben Johnson, who I loved the hire for Chicago. I love Ben Johnson, but I did not think he was at his finest moment in the divisional round game last week. And he's drawn up the Jamison Williams pass play and it's wrong place, wrong time to run that play, in my opinion.
And I mean, the.
Lions were acting out of desperation. And after seeing that firsthand, you'd think Washington would know, Okay, hey, that's how we beat Detroit. We made them abandon their identity, We made them a band in the run. Therefore they had no play action and we ran away with the game. They got flustered. Well, Washington was the team that looked flustered in this contest, and to his credit, Jade and Daniels did not really look flustered. He even in the postgame conference that we heard from a little while ago here on the show. Seemed cool, calm and collected like he always seems. But his O line was flustered, his defense was flustered, his receivers and his teammates.
And the fumbles. I mean, give me a break. With all the fumbles.
I've never seen a Philadelphia team like this, plus nine in the fumble department through three playoff games. It's absolutely baffling. How Philly can't lose a fumble and yet their opponents can't hold onto the ball.
It's bizarre.
But Philly, while Washington turned the ball over NonStop four times, three of them were crucial. I would say the last interception didn't matter at all. It was game over by them. Philadelphia has been taking terrific care of the ball, and that goes back to Jalen Eric. But really, you don't need Hurts when you've got this roster around him. You don't need Hurts to try to do too much. You need him to use his legs when he's called upon two, and you need him to take care of the ball. And that seems to be the winning recipe for an Eagles team that's going back to the Super Bowl for the second time. In three years and the third time in seven years. Let's hear from Nick Sirianni on what he thought of his quarterbacks performing.
It's amazing how much.
Doubt there is.
Sometimes I can't quite comprehend it because you know, it doesn't look like people think it should look like. But the guy has been clutch. He's won a ton of football games. But they but you ran for this many yards. We don't care how we win. We don't. We don't care. If we rush for three hundred and pass for one and we win, great, If we rush rush for one and passed for three hundred, great, who cares.
We've just continued to win. He's just continued to win.
And I think the criticism is, yeah, whatever, he just wins.
Look, I've been a critic of Sirianni a lot. Jalen Hurts not so much. Nick Siriani a lot. And sometimes I think he's smug or he's immature. He looked smug there. But I gotta be honest, I loved it because he's backing up his quarterback. He's saying, yeah, he gets all this criticism all the time.
All he does is win. And you know what, It's true.
They went into their early Week five by week two and two, I normally hate in early.
By like week five, it was the best thing Philadelphia could have had. They've lost once since. The defense, who you.
Know, just got torn up by Kirk Cousins and by Tampa Bay and even by Green Bay in their Week one win in Brazil. The defense needed that Week five reset. The offense needed confidence. I think Sirianni needed a bit of a reset. And the Eagles have been a well oiled machine going back all the way to Week six when they came out of their by just one loss. Since then, Jalen Hurts is doing what he is to do. But and I'm not taking anything away from Jalen Hurts, he is able to be set up for success because this Eagles offense sets the tone so damn early with Sakuon Barkley in the run game. Look no further than Sunday's game against Washington. What was it the second play from scrimmage for the Eagles, Saquon's off to the races.
Boom.
You're up seven to three after Washington just orchestrated a beautiful seven minute drive. So when you got Saquon Barkley and you got a terrific offensive line. It's definitely a beneficial position to be in and to be set up for success in Let's hear from the presumptive offensive player of the year, the guy who's had an absolutely scorching hot, other worldly postseason. Let's hear from Saquon Barkley, who is now. This pains me as a Giants fan to say it. Although I love Saquon, I'm mad at the Giants. I got no ill will towards Saquon. Let's hear from the guy who's going to a super Bowl.
Don't matter if you don't win it, right, That's just the reality of all the things that we've done.
And we're doing a.
Lot of special Try not to curse this time, but you know what I mean, but.
The most special thing you can do is win.
The Super Bowl.
And that's our goal. And obviously I wasn't here two years ago, but I bought it to the sculpture. I bought it to his organization, and you know, I know how those guys felt. So I'll make sure I do everything in my possible, in my and my capability and my ability to that well, same thing will happen.
Oh man, I wasn't here two years ago.
Yeah, you were where you belong, Saquon with the giant that kills me again. I have no ill will towards Saquon. Obviously, I don't want him to win the Super Bowl. I'm all for the personal accolades. Get your two thousand yards, get your Offensive Player of the Year, enjoy that you've earned it. I just I can't imagine what it would be like watching him win the Super Bowl. I know they say black mondays the day after the NFL regular season ends. I think Joe Shane would get fired the day after the Super Bowl if Saquon was hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and that was the front page of the New York Post back East. I mean, that is unthinkable to me now, truth be told, I don't think the Eagles are going to be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. And I know a lot of people in a rematch want to give the advantage or the upper hand or their pick and get behind the team that lost the first matchup.
Well, how did that work for the Niners last year? Right?
It was a great game, went to ot tight game the Niners, just like they did in the Miami Super Bowl in January or February of twenty twenty. They had the early lead in that one, and they let by double digits at one point, but it was all Kansas City at the end, and the Chiefs always find a way to win. And I'll come out with the early pick. I'm not betting it yet. I believe Eagles money is going to come in, So I'm gonna wait and see, and you know, see if I can get a better number. Either it'll stay the same or it'll move towards Philly. That's my prediction. But my money is going to be on Kansas City to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl for a second time in three years.

But you know what Kansas City's defense top ten, ninth overall, eighth against the run, and that's in yard And what does Kansas City do? They allow yards, they bend, but they don't bring to top four scoring defense. I can't wait for Super Bowl fifty nine. Keep that in mind. The total is forty nine and a half. We'll talk about it with our guy Nick while in from Road to Wire.
Up next, it's Cashing Out. It's Joe Ferralla.
Welcome back to Cashing Out here on v SIN, the sports betting Network.
Cash Youah continues with me Joe Sorallo, as we take you through your Sunday night into Monday morning and now as we get ready to take you to the progressive guest line. Welcome in our good friend from over at Road to Wire as he joins us at the conclusion of every week's Sunday slate of games. Our buddy Nick Whalen joining the show. Not as many games as we're accustomed to, Nick, but two really important ones Conference championships Sunday.
How did your bets do throughout these two games?
Yeah, we are.
We're getting to scary hours here as far as the season goes down to one remaining game. We are not counting the Pro Bowl, for whatever that's worth. So yeah, as much as I love breaking down these you know, these sixteen game weeks with.
You, you know it's all coming down to this one.
But as far as this one I lost on Washington. I got suckered into the six and a half and this idea that the Commanders are going to be so aggressive and the back door might be open for a cover.
You know.
Obviously Washington had been so good at taking care of the ball, so good at ripping off these long drives, which they did to begin the game this afternoon. But you just can't survive three killer turnovers against this Billy team, which is just continued to have incredible I guess you call it luck fumble wise. I mean they're what, like, I think they're plus ten in terms of recovered fumbles or plus nine so far through these three games. You know, twice in three playoff games you've had a team fumble on a kickoff, which just sets you up for an early touchdown. I mean that felt like really the final nail in the coffin the Eckler fumble or sees me to McNichols fumble for the Commanders.
But got that one wrong.
Obviously, Philly ended up being in no danger of being vulnerable.
To a back door cover. But I was on KC minus one and a half.
We talked about it a little bit last Sunday, and I didn't have, you know, some crazy scheme or concoction as to why that was the case. It was quite simply, I am not betting against Patrick Mahomes. I am not losing money betting against Patrick Mahomes and lo and behold, Kansas City did it again.
Yeah, I'm with you, man. Look I've been saying it all week.
I could live with myself if I bet on Mahomes and lose. And this is the one year Alan gets them. But I could not live with myself if I go, oh no, no, no, trust me, Allan's due, this is the time. And then he falls to zero to four against Mahomes like he has. So I was with you all on both those games. I was on the Chiefs. That was my biggest play was a three unit play, biggest play of the weekend. I was on the Commanders for a two unit play. I really felt confident about Daniels and this play calling. And you know, it's funny what you said about the fumble and the kickoff. I have it right in front of me in my notes right here. Disastrous fumble with one forty five left in half down twenty twelve felt like ball games, Like just like you said, that felt like the ball game. And they opened the game beautifully. I loved the seven minute drive they orchestrated from the start. But then it just say, it seemed like the way that they orchestrate that beautiful drive and then settle for three, only for Philly to waste absolutely time putting up seven of their own. It just felt like all of the air left Washington sideline at that point. What did you think after Quinn had already gone for fourth downs on the opening drive. What did you think about him kicking the field goal there on the Eagles sixteen fourth and three.
I'm glad you brought that up because I was a little surprised at that decision. You know, you let it ride twice earlier in the drive, and you know, yeah, you're in comfortable field goal range. Obviously Jan Gonzalz ended up making it, so.
You could say it worked out.
But it's like going up against the Eagles in this spot, so you kind of feel like you got to get seven when you have an opportunity to get seven. And it's not like it was a fourth and nine, right, it was fourth and three. I mean they had converted a couple of those already on the drive. It's something they've been doing all season. This is not a new thing for the Commanders. They're used to these these conversions, and obviously they've been great at it all year. So I easy to say now, you know, when they lose this game by thirty two points, But I think you kind of got to try to set the tone there because you had had so much success. You'd already had a seventeen play drive at that point. I think that is probably one that dan Quinn, if you could look back, maybe he would do that one the other way. But I think you still got to give Washington some credit here, because yeah, they settle for three there, and then saquad rips off the sixty yarder and it's just, oh boy, here we go.
You know this is going to be a cascading effect.
What happens on the next Commanders possession, Jammy Brown fumbles, Eagles go down and score a touchdown.
All of a sudden, it's fourteen to three.
But you know, Washington settled down, put together another long drive, ten plays, four plus minutes.
They make it a one score game.
You force the missfield goal, you get the McLaurin touchdown, all of a sudden, they're back in it. But the two additional fumbles, man, I mean, I think they survived the initial one, but the fumble on the kickoff, and then of course the Eckler fumble, that that really really felt like, you know, that was it, that was their last chance. You can't come back from three of those. It's so uncharacteristic for Washington. They were you know, plus six six to zero in terms of turnovers in their first two postseason games.
It's a huge part of the reason that they were able to go into Detroit and win that game.
And yeah, you got to give credit to Philly again. I mean, this team has a knack for forcing fumbles. They have not lost a single fumble in the postseason. They have recovered nine fumbles, seven of those have been forced, and they've recovered two of their own. So we'll see if that continue, I guess going into the Super Bowl. But just kind of carelessness in general by the Commanders who have been so so good at taking care of the ball this season.
I mean, look, this Philadelphia team. Obviously Fangio is a terrific coordinator and they work on that punching the ball at technique so often, but the execution of it. Look, I'm not one for conspiracies, man, but I had to sweet out during the game. Is someone on the Eagle staff lubing up the balls before the opposed opposing offense takes the field?
Because it is weird. I mean, I'm not saying that as a serious.
Point, but it is weird to have what is it, what are they plus nine in the fumble department? You just said this postseason, it's like that's bizarre, isn't it.
Oh, definitely, definitely.
But again, you know, it's like you think about this game, you think about the previous two. Yeah, you give credit to Philly specifically earlier today, like all three of those were force fumbles to some degree. But you like the Rams game, you know, Kyra Williams basically just drops the ball once it starts snowing.
That was brutal. Stafford, you know, lost one as well.
You know the Packers game opening kickoff, Shaw Nixon just you know, runs straight into a guy and loses it. So it again, you want to give credit to Philly, but it's just we've never really seen anything like this. I'd have to really dive in on Stadhead and see as a team ever been plus nine in terms of recovered fumbles over a three game span in the postseason. I mean, that would be crazy over a three game span in the regular season. So it's been huge, but I you know, it's hard to say, you know how much of that led to Washington kind of falling out of this game. Obviously it was huge to not get anything on those possessions.
But Philly was just so dominant here. I mean, but seven rushing.
Touchdowns, right, I mean, that just does not happen in a postseason game. I did it had a pretty good day, Joe in terms of the props, But one of them that I did play was Kenneth Gainwell over ten and a half rushing yards. Thought we were going to be so safe. You know, Saquon's using the massage gun early in the game. Thought they might work him in. Saquon gets pulled late, and what happens. We see a little Will Shipley as well, and you know, obviously Gainwell, you know, did not have him himself a day.
But you got to give credit to.
Philly, you know, I don't I don't want to just put this all on Washington. I mean, this team has been incredible. You're looking at a team is just loaded at almost every position, right. I think they are probably the most talented team in the NFL, and maybe that's gone a little bit.
No doubt this year, Absolutely no doubt about that. If Kansas City wins, it's going to because of a mister Mahomes and because of coaching, but there is no doubt when it comes to personnel. Philadelphia is the most talented team in the league. So now we've got the Super Bowl fifty nine matchup set, and folks, it's time to start making smarter bets today with a VSON Pro subscription.

Well and all right, Nick, about a minute and a half left here. Super Bowl fifty nine matchup is set. We'll get into the player props and all that stuff next week as we get a little closer. But just looking at that early line that's out Kansas City despite Philly's fifty five point performance, a point and a half favorite.
What's your early lean here?
You know what, I think I have to essentially employ the same logic as last week, because well, well Philly maybe maybe a slightly better team than Buffalo. I think they're almost equally dangerous, you know, in a lot of ways. And look, if I thought Kansas City was going to win this game with the same line, I know they were at home this week against Buffalo.
I think I got to keep riding Mahomes man.
I think I think the Chiefs deeply, deeply care about the three peat.
You know.
I think when you get to this point, when you're making the AFC title game, every year, when you're making the Super Bowl, it feels like every year you need that carrot.
You need that motivation, And I think this is it.
I mean, this is your chance to establish yourself not only as the best dynasty since the Patriots, but I think the dynasty perhaps a YNAFL history. No team has won three Super Bowls in a row. I think they're going to be locked in. I don't think we see a let down here, and I think Kansas City just played its best game of the season a couple hours ago against the Buffalo Bills. I really think this is a team that maybe was saving some of this. Feels like they have unlock some of these options in the passing game all of a sudden, Zavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown and Juju Smith Schuster are making plays. Can Philly turn Casey over like they have the Packers, the Rams and the Commanders plus ten and turnovers in those games?
I don't think they can.
Nick.
I love everything that you just said, and I tend to agree. I hate to use the word board when it comes to professional sports, but Kansas City certainly doesn't show their hand and reveal all their tricks in the regular season. They look a little bored. Now they are playing their best football. More picks, more winners coming up. It's cashing Out with Joe Sourala, don't go anyway.
Welcome back to Catching Out here on Fison, the Sports Bening Network.
Yeah, you have continues with me Joe Salo taking you into your Monday morning here on the show. How about that terrific stuff from our guy Nick Whellen, Senior Editor over at road to Wire joining the program. You're gonna hear from him on Vson in just a few short hours two pm Eastern. Him and our friend Jeff Ericson, who typically joins US Wednesday evenings, gonna be hosting prop Point, taking the shift over from our guy, the Guru, John Hanson for the day. So it'll be fun to have Nick and Jeff, a couple of regular guests on our our waves as hosts. In just a few hours, we're gonna get to our favorite bet with some Monday Who action on tap. Little recap from the Sunday hoops that we had one NBHA game Sunday.
It was a light.
NBA SLeague, just two cities partaking who don't even have a football team, so I guess their fans weren't as intrigued with the conference championship games. It was Oklahoma City, it was Portland in Oregon. The Blazers cover despite losing one to eighteen to one oh eight. That ten point loss covered the fourteen point number and the over two twenty five and a half got home for that one. A little bit of college hoops action on Sunday. It was a great day for home favorite in a Saturday which I felt like dogs did pretty well. Sunday belonged to the home favorites. You had twenty fourth ranked Memphis covering the seven they were laying against UAB an offensive outburst by Pennies Tigers. They prevailed one hundred to seventy seven, well over the total of one point fifty eight. Wisconsin opened up the game. I believe it was like a nineteen to three run over Nebraska. Eighteen ranked Badgers laying seven and a hook at home against the Huskers, they win eighty three to fifty five. They cover easily, it stays under the total of one p fifty.
And then the ALIGNI Illinois.
Seventeenth ranked little in state action against Northwestern. They got home cover in seven and a half barely a nine point eighty three seventy four win over the Wildcats that went over the total of one P fifty two by just five points. We'll get into a college hoops play for Monday. We'll get into an NBA prop for Monday. Now, I'm not the biggest NBA better, but earlier in the show, our guy Justin Fensterman was talking about this prop. Earlier in the show, our friend Nick well And told me about this prop, so I'm going to tail them in some capacity. It's a player that they're targeting. It's not exactly the same prop, but I'm gonna look to follow their lead on this specific player, which will unveil here momentarily on the program. I do want to and we're going to be doing a lot of this over the next two weeks, folks. But we've spent the entire show recap in Sunday and breaking down Chiefs, Bills and Eagles commanders. I want to give the first look ahead to Super Bowl fifty nine and how these Chiefs and these Eagles are going to match up. And I believe that Philadelphia is going to get pushed out of their comfort zone a little bit in this game. Even the games that have gotten close or gotten dicey at times, Philadelphia has been working with a lead seemingly the entire postseason, and I struggle to see that being the case in this one. You know Green Bay from the opening kick, literally when the Packers fumbled the opening kick, Philly was on top and Philly let the Packers linger. They didn't really put them away when they should have. Same with the Rams. They were out in front early, didn't really put the Rams away. Even their two touchdown lead at the end, it didn't seem invincible. You know, the Rams had a very realistic shot of winning that game late. You know that this Commander's game, they did a better job at putting Washington away. But you know, really it took that fumble inside of two minutes to go in the first half for Washington to be dead. The Eagles were at fourteen to three, and then they let the Commanders right back into it, made it fourteen twelve, could have been tied if.
They executed the two point conversion.
So Philly has been used to operating with a lead, and to an extent, whether it was for a half or for the full game, allowing their opponents to linger. They might not have the luxury of operating with a lead against Kansas City. They might be uncomfortable against Kansas City. Saquon Barkley, dare I say, might not run all over this Steve Spagnola Kansas City defense. And so if the Eagles are operating with a little bit of discomfort, and maybe Jalen Hurts has to throw the ball thirty two thirty three times, the Eagles might not have as easy of a time ahead of them, and even though they've got the number one, number one defense in the league on paper, I have full faith, in full trust in Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs offense that they're gonna move the ball, they're gonna put up points, and they're gonna make clutch plays. Can Phillies offense make clutch plays against Kansas City?
They're gonna get yard. But is it gonna be Jake Elliott out there?
Or are these drives going to culminate in seven points? Are the fourth down conversions gonna work or are they gonna get stopped like Buffalo did in two of their final three fourth down conversion attempts. You know, Buffalo is three for three on fourth down to start, and they finished four for six when it mattered, most Kansas City got the stop. Same thing in Super Bowl fifty seven. Eagles were up ten points in that one mattered. Most Kansas City executed on offense and got the stops on defense. So you know, even though the Eagles are fresh off a fifty five point performance, there is a reason that the Kansas City chief our favorite. And I'm gonna wait to play this one because I think it's gonna be a lot of Eagles money coming in. I don't see this line moving any more towards the Chiefs favor. I see it either staying at one and a half or moving closer to a pickham. So I'm gonna wait on it, and I'm gonna wait on it and probably wait until Super Bowl weekend, and then I'm gonna jump on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs because they're gonna put Philadelphia in positions the Eagles have not been in all season, just like they put Josh Allen in the Bills in positions that the Bills had not been in all season. Never go against the masterful game planning, scheming and coaching of Andy Reid and Steve Spagnola. And oh, by the way, having Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback doesn't hurt. But we'll have two weeks to break that down. Let's get into the Vson Daily Morning Bet Monday edition of the Vson Daily Morning Bets, and I've got two plays.
For you, starting with Rare Territory.
For myself, it's an NBA prop, but it's a player that my guy Justin Fenzderman loves. It's a player that my guy Nick Whalen loves. So I'm not going to tell them on their ten and a half rebounds over But what I am gonna do is lay a little extra juice and trust Daniel Gafford to get a double double against the terrible Washington team minus one forty five, more juice than I typically like to lay, but I'll do it here because the Wizards are a free for all for opposing big men. They can't defend them in the post offensively, they stink on the glass, and the Mavericks are injured there. Without Derek Lively, Daniel Gafford is the premier big man right now for Dallas, so I don't think ten points and boards is anything much to ask for. He can lose his rebound prop on the hook and still cash out this double double. So that's why I'll lay a little extra juice for it. Give me Daniel Gafford to record a double double minus one forty five. We'll call it my best bet, because best bets are, of course brought to you by our friends over at G Bank, the official bank of Vison.

Apply one other play for you on Monday.
It's a college hoops play and the price varies. You can find them laying one, laying one and a half, you can find them catching one and a half. So at MGM, we're taking the UCLA Bruinins Mick Cronin's Crew plus one and a half at usc Little Crosstown Rivalry quick drive, although depending on the state of the ten and the traffic that you're in, maybe not too quick. But we're going from Westwood to downtown and we're taking UCLA plus one and a half. Again, those are MGMs odds. You might see minus one on your screen in a minute. We're taking UCLA plus the point and a half. This team points per game allowed wise, has the best defense in the Big Ten, allowing just about sixty four per game. They dominate opponents in terms of possession and efficiency. And even though it's been a bit of a down year for UCLA and they're not the top twenty five team they were, it's been a down year for USC two and the Trojans have the fifteenth ranked defense in an eighteen team Big Ten conference. Give me the Bruins on defense, Give me the Bruins plus the point and a half. I think they win it outright at the Galen Center, and that'll do it for the Vison Daly Morning. That's that'll also do it for this edition of Cashing Out with Joe Soraalo.
But the great content at Vson never ends.
